User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 1)/@comment-24466939-20140825204910/@comment-31556666-20140825214239

When looking at amounts of episodes competing, Sam is more of an all star than Dakota. But when looking at Dakota's actual final ranking, she lasted longer than Sam. In fact, the logic they probably went in even putting Sam in the season is that he appeared in more episodes than Brick and Anne Maria. So if they were taking that into account, then Dakota should've been one more than him.
