User blog comment:Gogogadget831/Every Episode of Total Drama Reviewed: Episode 116 - Scarlett Fever/@comment-4742462-20150831055958

To me, this was the only episode after the initial two that I liked as it felt like there was actual thought and effort put into it (for the most part).

With that said, the episode is completely ruined by it's ending due to how much of an obvious Ass Pull was. It's like they wanted to do a two-part episode but were only given one episode so they said "Crap! We've trapped ourselves into a corner (again)!" and that insult of an ending with Scarlett falling for the Chris bot was the quickest/laziest way out. And then of course her being outranked by Max was the extra slap in the face that set the tone for the remainder of the season.

Scarlett's plot to me showed that while the writers can still come up with good ideas, they have no clue what to do with them and ultimately shoot themselves in the foot with how they end up. It's also easier for me to say that her plot was just too complex for a season with half the episode length.

Outside of the finale, I gave up on Pahkitew Island after this episode as I already knew (thanks to Italy) that there was nothing good in the last three offerings and Scarlett's plot was the only one this season that I found myself giving a crap about.
