I am Jayden-G, and I have been a fan of Total Drama since 2007, and reading the talk page since 2009 before joining in 2013.

Couples Review
11. Courtney and Scott:

As some of you already know, I dislike this couple. They are actually the ONLY ones that I dislike and shiver at the thought at. Anyways, one of the reasons as to why I do not like them is that we do not know what they like about one another. He said she is pretty and bossy I guess, and for her,......... whatr is there. If there is a reason, please post it in the comments. In Food Fright, she wants to be allies with him and then in Moon Madness, she feels something missing as a Scott bird comes in her view. They end up half-weirdly flirt and then get together? Wait, what sincere interaction  do they have with one another other than those 2-liners? Nothing. And now that they are together, they argue and break up, and make up, and the chances that they are probably going home  in the upcoming episode Sundae Muddy Sundae is not promising. They are way too rushed, shallow, and uninvestible for my liking. Too random also, ugh.

10. Mike and Zoey:

This couple I do not dislike, but I could care less about. I see why they like one another, and they do have action movies  in common, and they like that they are nice. They are already extremely clingy to one another, acting like they are a couple in Truth and Laser Shark, and she got so mad at Anne Maria for flirting with him, like they were in a committed relationship, which they were not until the VERY END. Mike tells Zoey that his personalities are an act, which gets in the way, and she gets mad because he cannot decide who he wants, and all of that. He finally tells her the truth and she accepts him, saying she likes oddballs. This season, they are doing fine for the first 2 episodes, but she realizes he cannot change into his personalities, and his change of behaviour via Mal. She was warned by Duncan and Alejandro about Mal and sees some of the signs herself, but she still ignores it because she is hopeful. This couple is not too bad, but the 13-episode seasons are making it extremely rushed, and the fact that the characters themselves are flat and underdeveloped does not help the couple. Can't invest in uninteresting characters and the fact that they are probably going to be the finals for All-Stars after getting all the focus on ROTI is not making me smile with joy. Too shallow for my liking.

9. Duncan and Courtney:

Now let me just say this, I was a fan of this couple, and even after the Gwuncan kiss thing, but the I was watching an episode of Jersey Shore of Ron and Sammie arguing, and it reminded me of the constant arguing, and unhealthy relaitonship between Duncan and Courtney. Then I started thinking of the couple more and more and realized they would never work. While they are physically attracted to one another and can be a great team, it is clear that they like the sides that are similar to themselves (Duncans' good boy, sweet, neat side, and Courtney's bad, rule breaking, naughty side). Opposites do attract, but there needs to be some common ground that these two never had with one another, and there was also some resentfulness on both of their sides about their personalities. Courtney wants to change him, he clearly is more attracted to her bad girl side, and they cannot compromise with everything. Not ot upset the Duncney side, but they are both too immature and different to make it work. Nicfe moments, but the negatives override the positives.

'''8. Dakota and Sam:'''

Honestly, there is not a lot to say about them. In the 2nd episode of ROTI, he is trying to flirt with her because he thinks she is pretty, which she tries to find something to compliment him on. They somehow becomes friends by the next episode (don't know how), and they say hi to one another and she starts falling for him, which she found strange since she never felt guilt and things like that. She helps him with fashion advice for a challenge, causing him to get eliminated, and they officially get together after she turns into a monster. Still don't know really why they like one another, but they seem a lot more authentic than Mike and Zoey. Probably cause of the lack of screentime. I can see them working it through and bringing the best in one another

.7. Duncan and Gwen:

I'll state the elephant of the room with this couple and Duncney, don't really care for them or the stupid triangle drama. Anyways, their friendship was paced well, and they have a lot of the same interests and such, and I do believe there was a small attraction for one another in Action, but it is kind of weird that as soon as Duncan returns, he goes and makes out with Gwen. I do believe Gwen brought the best in Duncan which was seen in All Stars, but clearly he did not bring out the best in her. They are attracted to one another, work well together, have nice conversaitons and moments, but I do not like how thier relationship formed by cheating. Now while I get what they were trying to do with Gwen in  All Stars, but couldn't they have written the break-up better? Why would she break up someone she has been friends and a relationship with for a few years for someone she was becoming friends with? It just seemed too forced to me. Nice, but I like A LOT of the others more.

6. Owen and Izzy:

I actually really like this couple. Though their hookup was kind of rushed in TDI, thoughh there was the scene with the snake dance. In TDA, they developed this couple a lot more, and I think this is one of the things TDA did RIGHT. They can handle being apart unlike most couples, and have a great time when together. They are both gross, oddballs, fun and are a bit nasty, which they like about one another though having differences as well. They are seen to be doing well in WT as well, though they break up so suddenly but were the most cinsistant couple of them all up to that point (thanks executive meddling). I understand the message of not every first relationship working out, but there was no reason for them to break up, and were doing the best out of the others. They already had that with Harold and LeShawna, and Trent and Gwen. They never got that much focus, which is why I cannot put them higher.

'''5. Gwen and Trent:'''

This couple was clearly the main one in Total Drama Island, and I really like them. They are both artistic, down-to-earth, and nice people. She did not know if she could trust him, and they went through so much in TDI mostly thnaks to Heather. You could see the attraction for one another as soon as Trent got off the boat. While it is sad what happened to them, I understand both sides. Duncan is a known trouble maker, and was telling Gwen a bunch of ish, and would any of you guys leave your girl with Duncan?...... that is what I thought. He should have listened to Gwen though about not throwing challenges and about Duncan. He started going crazy, and clearly had unresolvesd issues to deal with. I just wished he was to in the series to solely be Gwen's love interest and tossed aside forever afterwards.

'''4. Lindsay and Tyler'''

Yeah, I know, they are kind of underdeveloped, don't spend that much time together before they are making out, but they are so cute. Maybe it is because they are interesting as characters so it works for them unlike Mike and Zoey. These two can clearly do well apart, and are always on one another's minds. They like that they are cute, nice, bubbly, and clearly think one another are funny, since they were laughing under the dock about somethign in Dodgebrawl. I wish they had more time to develop as a couple, but of course were tossed aside to develop others, but you can tell they care for one another. They are a cliche couple, a bit lustful, and them not being that developed is why I cannot put them higher, though they are fun to watc and clearly care about one another.

3. Bridgette and Geoff:

They were my favourite couple for many years. I liked that they spend quality time together, they had so much in common, I loved everything about them. I guess what put them down a few spots is the break-up, make up thing. Alright, so they are almost instantly attracted to one another, and Geoff tries to impress her, making a bunch of cute and funny moments, but they eventually hit it off. They are down-to-earth, practically made for one another and the beach. TDA they became too INSEPERABLE, constantly making out, then Geoff became fame-hungry, and Bridgette becomes trifling cheating on Geoff. It is so easy why they like one another (down to earth, attractive, live for fun, nice, loves everything about the beach life), and they do bring out the best in one another. I am glad that they are not in All Stars because I would not like to see them ruined. They have nice, authentic moments, and their relationship feels real.

2. LeShawna and Harold:

I know, I am such a weirdo for having them this high. First off, I do not buy it when LeShawna says her and Harold are only friends, and she has no feelings for him. She is seen flirting with him for the last few episodes of her run on Action, and defending him when someone (Duncan) messed with him. And in World Tour  when they were reunited, she was a bit too friendly with him, calling him "Ginger Baby-cakes", and letitng him cuddle up with her in that scene where Courtney is dissing Duncan and Gwen. She also excludes him from her sing "Sisters" about lying men. He clearly brings out the best in her, and she likes ot be treated like a Queen, which is exactly what he does, and he likes his  women curvy and with sass. Their scenes are always funny to watch, and she needs to stop with the games. No wonder why he is always hassling her.

1. Alejandro and Heather:

1. Heather and Alejandro Nastiest looking kiss to ever screen on TD. Still my favourite couple.From my icon pic,it is clear who would be number one. I like everything about this ocuple, from their interactions, to their small arguing, to the denial, everything. It is cleear why they like one another; they have the same mindset, and are attractive. They were gunning for ach other to get eliminated in WT because they are threats, but slowly start falling for one another, but want the monet more. It is funny that even in ALl-Stars they feel a certain way when neither texted one another. They are very competitive, but I don't like the way she was eliminated though. They are enjoyable, investible as a couple, deliciously evil and screwed up, and THEY are what interested me into Totl Drama All Stars.

Total Drama All Stars Review
I was excited for this season (though knew it was a mere excuse to have the screenhogs from both generations to be together). This season dissapointed me on many levels, though there were a few good things  about it. I am gonna go over all of the characters, storylines, and all of that.

Lindsay: There is not really much to say about her. Though I knew she was a fodder for elimination  before the show even aired, she was really lazy in the episode she was in. All of her story arcs were finished (relationship with Tyler, being somewhat smart, Beth), so I am kind of glad she left early. There was not anything else to do with her, and she made it far in the first 2 seasons.



Lightning: How is it even possible for him to be even more flat and annoying than he  was last season. Wouldn't he have been more revengelful for losing and his  father being dissapointed in him (which was only brought up in the finale of that season and never mentioned before or afterwards). But he was all about his muscles and arrogance. Thank the LORD he left as soon as he did.



Jo: I think she is the one of the only one to be the same character she was in a previous season. Still the cut-throat, overly tough and competitive  girl, and her minor conflict with Heather was entertaining enough. Threw Lightning under the bus after forming  an alliance with him, and her talk is better than her game (a bit pathetic as to how she was eliminated and now that I am thinking about it, her talk was as good as her game last season...)



Sam: I barely even remember him being in the season (probably cause he was a bad fit to be in the season), less so than his eliminated predecessors. I do remember him being the punching bag  of slapstick humor until his elimination, his game consle breaking being a non-factor, and him cheating which led to him going home. He had no storyline and was extremely forgettable.

Now that the elimination fodders that had no storyline are gone... We are going to settle and talk about the storylines chronologically.

The first storyline that was completed was Duncan and Gwen. They both were happy by the time TDWT ended, and were locking lips at the boat scene in TDROTI. Now Gwen is starting to get unsatisfied by Duncan, who desperately wants attention and to make Courtney jealous,as she is ignoring him who has been her friend since TDA for Courtney's forgiveness. At first, she wanted Duncan to tell Courtney to stop glaring at her, but he did not care since it did not involve him -_-. I don't see why at this point he wants Courtney's attention and I WOULD be more invested in Gwen's storyline more if her and Courtney had a friendship in TDWT like Leshawna and Gwen did, or Bridgette and Courtney, but that is not the case (they were friend-ish). Duncan saves her from being shot in the third challenge, but does not care that he got dumped 3 episodes later -_-, really? The actual breakup scene is extremely rushed and lacked any explanation. Duncan is struggling with his good guy actions, and ultimately going to jail for proving that he is still a badboy. While Duncan is one of my least favourites, I will give him that he did not annoy me much this season.



Now let's move on to Alejandro and Heather. In the second episode (after she was shocked by his return and the uncomfortable feeling of the robot), they both felt a way when neither bothered to text each other since TDWT (ignoring the scene where he is hugging her on the boat scene in TDROTI), and I found this very interesting. They tried to manipulate one another's feelings to bother one another and to see if they care (with him ignoring her, and her being extremely nice in that Moon challenge). This was very interesting and liked how they interacted, seeing it lead up into them finally going together, but then Episode 6 happened. They form an alliance so they can vote one another off. She finds the immunity idol, and after she hides it, he finds it and uses it for himself after she convinced eveyone in the team to vote for Alejandro. His vote only counted, meaning she was gone. He proposed to go steady at the Flush of Shame, but she refuses in anger of being voted off. She did not really do anything other than that, and Al's plot with Mal will be discussed later, if you counted his arrogance after she left a plot. So this storyline which clearly had some importance got thrown under the rug so badly, though they are now together in the finale, but the point is still there.



Sierra's Cam-Cody fiasco. I was looking forward to her returning the most, and seeing her do her independent thang in the first 2-3 episodes was really getting me interested, liking where it was going. She ws more cooperative, less obsessively crazy, and more authentic moments (especially with Cameron). Then her phone broke, with her sanity, as she became more and more delusional, thinking the others were Cody, calling and treating Cameron like Cody, acting creepier and more whiny than she EVER was, and was even stalking Cameron when he switched teams. In the end of TDWT, she was more calm, likable and all, and they continued that for the first few episodes, but then her plot turned back to Cody when he was NOT EVEN THERE. Speaking of Cameron, he annoyed me in the last episode. He was friendly enough to share his money with the entire cast of ROTI, and used his intellect of facts instead of cunningness to win but in his last episode, he followed Mike's disgusting plan to break Scottney up by kissing Courtney. How would he not know something was up with Mike when he studied him ALL LAST SEASON, and he would feel extremely guilty for having to do something like that,. This act kind of derailed him in some ways, and brought him down as a character to me.

Now here is where the major plotlines start, and here is the one I dread the most.

They are my least favourite couple for many reasons. First, it came right out of nowhere. She asks for an ally which really gots nowhere, than an eposide later she says something is missing in her life and conveniently a Scott bird shows up -_-. He likes her because she is pretty and bosses him around; WHAT, he LOVED being in control and got mad when he was controlled or had no power in ROTI, where did this come from. Anyways, she likes him because.................. no explanation, and they start caring for one another in an episode. Another reason why this does not work is because they have no genuine interactions with one another (their first kiss was extremely contrived and awkward in a bad way). There are no bonding moments for them, no substance, nothing. Not only does the couple not make sense, but the circumstances of the Cam-Courtney kiss is weird too. Why would she run up and kiss Cameron after her and Scott fell into the ditch, and he is right beside her? Wasn't she making fun of Cameron a few episodes prior? So they break up and hook back up, though he is still clearly upset through the next episode. In her last episode of the season (easily the worst of the entire season), she makes the chart, showing him as a rat. He is pissed at that and wants to vote for her, because he is sick of her trifling ways. After she is gone, he misses her and says she was not bad -_-. This couple makes no (...use your imagination...) sense.



Now that I already started talking about Courtney, might as well finish off her other plot; Gwen. I never really gave two cents about the whole triangle thing, and never unserstood why people said "Oh, why would she do that ot her best friend?"; they were not even friends (friend-ish, but not friends). So for the first 3-4 episodes, Gwen tries to apologize to Courtney, but it seems like she is tampering with her evilly. Gwen apparently misses their friendship (twitches eye) as she ignores her biggest friend since TDA. So from around Episode 5-7, Courtney is slowly starting to like Gwen again, and their friendship is official in Episode 8. They start to act extremely girly and stuff which would be fine, but neither of them are really that girly; they are not Katie and Sadie. Since when do they care about one another's looks? They are happy they are BFFS but the Camoern kiss puts a halt to it, since Gwen thinks Court is a hypocrite. Courtney later talks to her and they are all good....for an episode. Court's chart has Gwen 3rd place, making her upset and has no friends. Gwen asks Courtney to vote for herself to prove their friendship means something to them, and NOTHING IS EXPLAINED. I can not even believe they were not in the finale. Another plot point gone down the toilet with little to no explanation. I am not even going to mention the derailment of the two characters and the inconsistencies.

Now we are at the most prominent and least interesting plotlines of the season; Zoey's relationship troubles with Mike thanks to Mal, and Mal himself. So Mike and Zoey are extremely happy with one another, and he embraces his MPD. They are good for the first 2 episodes, until Scott hits him over the head, causing Mal to erupt. Mal starts to break things like Sam's gam console, Sierra's phone, and more and Mike has trouble changing personalities. This happens up until like mid-season. During this time, Duncan recognized Mal as the head honcho of the juvie he was in, which leads to more questions than answers. HOW did Mal end up in prison? HOW did Mike deal with Mal for these years? WHAT is Mal's ultimate goal? WHHAT about a backstory to Mike period? Anyways, Ducnan warns Zoey, as she has her doubts too, but she chooses ot ignore them, and that is....it with Duncan and Mal juvie thing. Anyways, Zoey is winning challenge after challenge, god-playing (this makes somewhat sense with Al and Sierra because they at least EXPLAIN their suprise skills they have), with no explanation to where she got these skills from. Mal takes control fro Mike permanemtly in Episode 8, creating an alliance with Alejandro, and making Cameron his next target. So Al finds out about Mal being evil via sneaking into the production room, and hides the evidence that Mal tries ot plant on him that he rigged the votes for Cameron to go home. This puts him on Mal's hit list, and he fights to remain in the game. He warns Zoey, who is too mad that he did whatever he did, and believing that thanks to Mal. So that is 2 people who warned her so far. Anyways, she eventually finds out about the disk and FINALLY knows that Mal is controlling Mike. Not only are they extremely bland, and you dont give two cents about them, but there are so many loopholes and unexplained things. So the finale comes and Mike wins -_-. I know I skipped a few things with them, but their blandness and all of the other frustrrating ish above about the season are tiring me out. Mike's entire plot and backstory has no explanations, Zoey becomes the biggst Mary-Sue in Total Drama, and....... (goes crazy in room). I am so sick fo these two.

This season has so many problems; derailment of charactes, awful continuity, lack of explanations, abrupt storylines ending quicker than a wink. This season had potential, but took every flaw from TDI, TDA, TDWT, and TDROTI and made them worse. This season is the failure of Total Drama. I use to dislike TDROTI, but the ONE thing this seaosn taught me is to appreciate TDROTI (I should watch that to calm myself down). Good things about it.......... AleHeather are together, those one-liners are funny sometimes, the triangle is FINALLY put to rest. I needed to vent.

Total Drama Revenge of the Island Review
<p style="font-size:14px;">When Total Drama Revenge of the Island aired, I was not feeling it like I was the other 3 seasons, and it was NOT because they had an all new cast. A majority of it had to do with the 13 episode format that it introduced to the series. Another was because of the lack of interaction between the characters and the fact that a majority of them are flat and underdeveloped. After watching Total Drama All Stars, I learned to appreciate this season A LOT more quality and entertainment-wise. Let's start with the eliminaiton fodders.

<p style="font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-size:14px;">Staci: She was literally made for us to be annoyed with her so she can leave and no one will miss her, and in that retrospective, a job well done. All she does is say that her family made and invented everything, which are all lies. She is a bad joke.

<p style="font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-size:14px;">B : Well a common complaint about him is that he is a godplayer and silent, and.........that is cotrect. He is flatter than a pancake (personality wise, not physically) and only there to irritate Scott enough to be his first target. Next.

<p style="font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-size:14px;">Dawn: Yes, while she lasted 5 episodes (equivalent of 10 episodes in a 26 episode season format), she does not have a story arc. She reads a few people's auras (Dakota, Zoey, Mike, Scott, Brick), and helps in challenges  but the problem is, she is to give insight on others and not herself. Her aura and her wicca stuff are interesting, but never adds any depth to her or make her more important to the show.

<p style="font-size:14px;">I am gonna cover the storylines buy the amount of importance and focus it gets, so I am gonna read Lightning now.

<p style="font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-size:14px;">One of my issues with him is that he is a finalist, but had no plot (except his conflict with Jo and Cameron), but the issue is that those plots last 2-3 episodes at the most. I guess it is to make him an antagonist after Scott left, but the excutiuon is really bad. For the other 8 episodes, he does absolutely nothing but be a bad comic relief and stay under the radar. His Jo-guy thing got old really fast, and lasted from episode 7-10, so he has half  season of doing nothing. Him not being given any depth until the finale where they expose him consantly trying to impress his dad (which was ONLY brought up in the finale and never mentioned again) does not help. He should left way before he did.

<p style="font-size:14px;">Now that I brought up Jo, might as well get her and her plots over with (conflict with Brick and Cameron).

<p style="font-size:14px;">When I originally saw her, I thought she was gonna be a carbon copy of Eva and in some ways, she is. The difference is that Jo is more calm, a strategist, and a bit insecure about her sexuality, ginving her some depth. Her and Brick bump heads because they are strong competitors, extremely athletic, and wants to be in control. There are certain things that implicate that they hae a minor attraction, but they focus on the healthy competition. The difference between the two of them is that Brick is a lot more noble (being his downfall in the competition) and Jo is more cut-hroat and underhanded. The conflict between the two is very well done. Brick is easily the most interesting character of the cast (though he is not supposed to be coughMikeandZoeyCough). He wnats to be in control and tough because he was picked on a lot in his childhood, but is noble instead of agressive, which ultimately makes him the better person. These two have more depth than most of the cast.

<p style="font-size:14px;">I thought of talking about Cameron`s conflicft with Jo above, but it is more about Cameron`s character than Jo`s. Cameron`s entire arc is about him making it out int he real world and out of his bubble and mother, which si done well enough... I guess. The biggest thorn to this arc is Jo, who constantly taunts him about being weak and will never make it through the season (meaning he will of course win). She uses and abuses him, until he catches on and votes her off with Lightning; beating her at ehr own game of throwing people under the bus. His conflict with Lightning in the last 2 episodes do not work because they never interacted until episode 10, and Lightning never wanted to get at Cameorn until Episode 11 where eh stole his invincibility (after he broke his promise to Cameron). Cameron is fascinated with butterflies, biology, and psychology, which helps him study Mike and finds out about MPD. My only issue with him is that he never really had a conflict with how harsh things werre for him, or it was not that focused upon.

<p style="font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-size:14px;">I think it is the right time to talk about Dakota and Sam. While I do like the concept of them, it seems to lacjk substance. So their first interaction happens in the 2nd episode where he htis on her and tries to impress her, while she thinks he is weird and unattractive. So she is voted out in said episode and comes back an episode later as Chris`intern. Now she is suddnely attracted to him....okay. In the 4th episode, he falls into a hole she dug up, and a bunch of animals eat him up as she walks away, not liking the feeling of guilt. He asks her for fashion advice in the 6th episode; they beocme a couple in episode 8. Apparently the base fo thie relationship is about them being technially dependant on technology -_-; I think the issue pseaks fo ritself. As individual characters, Sam is kind of a generic video gam addict, but Dakota is better than I thought. She is a spoiled princess, but is not a wiotch and does nto want daddy to do everything for her. She has big plans and plans outside fo Total Drama, using it as a platform to do anything involving fame (one of the only outside of Heather to do this). She is one of the better charactes of the flat cast.

<p style="font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-size:14px;">Let's talk about this season's antagonist Scott. It's like he is supposed to be a serious, imtimidating antagonist, but also a silly one (thanks to the Shark gag). So his method is to sabotage his team at each challenge and frames the other contestants to get the team to vote off said target. This plan is unique compared to his predecessors who formed alliances and manipulated others, and actually trying to win challenges. This si alright but he does not clean up his plan as well as he thought, and wouldn't people find his lack of effort in challenges, and constantly accusng others of sabotage and other things; catching on to hsi suspicious behaviour. Well no one thinks he is bad except fdor Dawn (who he gets rid of), and Zoey. Mike and Cameon had a bad feeling about him, but nothing more. As a character, he is not he is not one we love to hate because he is not that deceptive or engaging. We get little comments about him being a farmer, but it adds no depth to him. At least he was intimidating enough here and his plan worked, as he became so different on his second season. He is smack dab in the middle of the antagonists.

<p style="font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-size:14px;">And now we get to the dreaded love triangle. So when we first see the couple Mike and Zoey, they are already heavily flirting with one another. The only thing we know they have in common is that they like action movies -_-. It is glaringly obvious that they are supposed to be the second generation replica of Gwen and Trent, but the difference is that Gwen and Trent are not entirely (for Trent I said entirely) dependant on one another and have interesting things about them individually. Both of them though are extremely bland and boring, barely having substance. Actually, Zoey's is about her being alone all her life and stuff, being a small town girl, but that gets focus in like the first 2 episodes, and her final episode; being ocmpletely overshadowed by her relationship with Mike. This relationship composes of her being a damsel in distress, always geting saved by Mike (and being the only trigger for him to regian comtrol of his body -_-.) How can you have 2 people who have 1% of substance and expect an engaging relationship. The other thing that gets in the way of being with her is his personality disorder. He has 4 other personalities (ALL more interesting than Mike), and he can not control it, so he lies and gets Cameron to help him cover it from Zoey, which makes her minorly not trust him. I have mentioned many times that the portralal of MPD is deplorable, so next.

<p style="font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-size:14px;">I know that is not Vito, but whatever. So the incompetent relatoinship of Voti (The Situation) and Anne Maria (Snooki) is about her thinking Mike is an act, as Vito only appeared when they were alone (false). This is to create drama, but even 3 year olds know how this will turn out, sine Vto is an asset fo Mike. As soon as she is gone, it is never settled properly and dissappears. Anne Maria herself is all about her looks and being tough. She is neither antagonistic or selfless, but she has a few moments of where she shows concern and appreciation of others. She is more interesting than the 2 above, but has absolutely no substance, and is a flat character to be a mere plot device. This entire plot was handled badly.

<p style="font-size:14px;">

<p style="font-size:14px;">My biggest issue with this season is that it lacked any heart and substance. It is hard to get invested when there is practically nothing to invest in that is not black and white. Despite that, most of the plotlines are concluded properly, it is consistant, there are no derailment of characters, and some developed. Also, there is no bond with the cast, and barely any interaction between them that could build into osmething mroe (conflict, friendship, or relationship). While it is kind of entertaning and did wrap up the main storylines properly, the characters were developed and likable (only some of them), things were clear that they were not the same from the earlier days of the series.

Total Drama World Tour Review
This season is known to be the second best season of the entire series (some say it is the best). It is definitely drama-filled, which could be used as a complaint. They spiced it up with adding 2 new contestants and a grown woman to the show. There are some consistency issues as well as it getting too dark at times, but the story lines are held well. Now to the elimination fodders.



Ezekiel: It is extremely sad as to what happened to him. He was at first a hip-hop wannabe (from the TDA special), but still annoyed his fellow campers. After he got voted off, he stayed on the plane for the entire season to get the money, though he never leaves the cargo hold or try to bargain. He eventually turns into Feral Zeke, not knowing how to speak and barely human. This is so backwards development.



Harold: He did a whole lot of nothing on his time this season. He annoyed everyone with his knowledgable facts. He was convinced to quit by Alejandro because he let his team down. He feels a way when LeShawna flirts with Al, but he still has a hold on her. Him and LeShawna flirt a lot after they are eliminated.



Bridgette: She really needs to stop thinking with her hormones. Anyways, she is originally sad about Geoff not being there (for half an episode) and then she does not miss him at all, because she is too busy fantasizing about Alejandro. So she cheats on him (after she hit him when he looked at a girl) and her male mistress gets her voted off, being reduced as one of Alejandro's pawns. Her and Geoff resolve everything and they are closer to their TDI selves. Not her best season.



LeShawna: This season is easily her worst season. She was seen as the leader of her team in a few challenges, but she got too carried away with it. She missed Harold a bit when he left (playing with his yoyos), but she (like Bridgette) thought with her hormones and listened to everything Alejandro said, about seizing the day. This causes her to beat up Heather for no reason. She now thinks all men but Harold are bad, and it will not be shocking if they got together. She was too full of herself this season.



I guess I should do DJ now, though he is not neseccarily a fodder, as he had his own plot. He was really annoying this seaosn; whining more than anything, not helping his teammates as much as he could have, and beca

me extremely irritating to watch. He got wimpier and wimpier as each season went, while he was at least honorable in the other 2 sesaons, here, he became more and more of a crybaby. I am glad that he is gone, but he was not really that memorable to begin with.

These two were the most forgettable characters in this season; I am dead serious. Izzy did absolutely nothign for most of her time on the season. She fawned over Alejandro in the Germany challenge, and broke up with Owen. I guess she was the exact same as the other two seasons, but she was the charactr that was in the background the most out fo the entire cast. Owen was forgettable too, he wsa just.....there. Sure he had his friendship with Noah, but other than that, he was the target of Alejandro's annoyance and him hurling insults. What I MUST discuss though is their poor break-up. Thanks to executive meddling, the most consistent couople in Total Drama broke up out of nowhere, when a few episodes earlier, they were shown to be extremely happy. There was no suspense or buildup to it in previous episodes, and it is never mentioned again. I don't see the point of them breaking up; At all.



Now it si their turn. Lindsay now thinks Tyler will never return and when she sees him, she calls him a bunch of other names. He gets dissapointed and a but mad at this, since she starts to get impressed by Alejandro. Somthing suddenly starts itching in her brain, sand she suddenly remembers him, making him more than thrilled. They are now back, and they want to be around one another non-stop. Their interactions for the next 2 episodes are in character and very nice, but of course she has to be booted in Paris.She is still in his mind, and they seem to be very intimate after his eliminaiton. As individuals, Lindsay was the saving grace in Team Victory after Bridgette left, and became somewhat fo a leader; almost winning a challenge all by herself. She was pretty cool and typical her this season. Tyler was pretty developed more so than before here too; he is very daring, a daredevil (though not as good at it), a likable man that most get along with, and is strong, but clumsy. He proved that he can hold his own as a character, which I could not say for Trent if he was ever without Gwen. He was also the plot device to blow the secret about Duncan and Gwen's affair, not being able to keep secrets.



Noah did alright this season. He was very sarcastic and not as lazy as he was in TDI. He does not put up with a lot, and proven to be very entertaining. He was more of a team player, and proved to be of help to his team. His friendship with Owen showed that he is not that bad of a person, and his beef with Alejandro was fun enough. Though he did not last too long because he had no plot really. The way he was ousted SUCKS. They should have won, and Duncan should not have been allowed to vote, since he just came there. It was like Chris wanted Noah to go home.



Great, now it is time to talk about the love triangle that split the fandom for 3 years. In the beginning of the season, both Courtney and Gwen have feelings for Duncan, while he is too annoyed with everything for us to see if be likes either at this point. Their bickering and them having to sing causes him to quit in the first episode. While he is gone, they click over wanting to get rid of Heather initially. They then start to become tolerable acquaintances in the London challenges, when they bind over the research they both did on Jack the Ripper. This is very realistic and in character for both of them to bind over. Also, they both think they see Duncan a few challenges prior, which only makes Courtney's suspicions about Gwen grow. As characters, both were pretty well at this point; Courtney was a lot more calmer and was a team player, and Gwen was learning to work with her team, and getting closer to Cody. Both were entertaining and likeable. Then Duncan returns. Why could they not have put him on Team Victory initially and have this mess of a love triangle okay out there, and he be the last player of the team to be eliminated? But NO, he HAS to make it far AGAIN. So they bring Duncan back to the plane for reasons unknown, and Chris seems them the winner because they found Duncan -_-. So Courtney lectures Duncan about skipping out and bailing out on his responsibilities, which gets him upset, but she hugs him and says she just missed him. He looks at Gwen while hugging her, saying that he missed her or something like that; Im paraphrasing. He knows she is in the confessional and opens it, causing her to get butterflies all over. He grabs her hand and they lean to have a long kiss, which Tyler witnesses. Instead of skin the honourable thing and break up with her, he threatens to beat Tyler up if he spills, meaning he was pretty much thinking of having both. Well, him and Gwen sing about what to do, but she finds out in the same episode and dumps Duncan. Duncan and Gwen (who felt little to no remorse or care since she almost had a mental breakdown when she found Heather and Trent kissing) officially hook up. They hate Courtney and Courtney hates them. Gwen looks really bad, Courtney is extremely whiny, extremely pathetic, and to be honest, this entire thing makes them all unlikable (which I thought was impossible to make Duncan more unlikable).

Now we talk about Sierra and Cody's plot. Sierra is a Total Drama blogger and knows everything about everything on Total Drama, and they do play with that, but they focus MUCH more on her obsession with Cody. What I find interesting about this is that Cody is obsessed as well to Gwen and wants a girl to fawn all over him. Sierra starts to steal his belongings and sniffs it and his body, creeping the crap out of him. This causes him to vote for her each and very single time whenever he is at an elimination. She cried initially when this happened, but as this continued, she blocked it out. Around the merge, she starts saying that they are married and such, and makes him drink a love potion (which only makes him sick). Around the end I the competition, they become friendly with one another and he considers her one of his closest friends (since they can have an actual and decent conversation when she is calm). This did not feel rushed of contrived actually. My only issue with this is that it develops Sierra a lot more than it develops Cody; he never really does anything on his own, barely helps his team, did not form other relationships (he did become closer to Gwen at the end of her one on the show though), and Sierra helped him through the competition ALL THE WAY THROUGH and as soon as she could not help him any more, he is eliminated. He was still enjoyable and likeable, but did not get as much development as I thought he would. Sierra can be a bit too much at times, but she did not deserve what she got at the end of the season. At least she is better now.



Oh, I forgot about Blaineley. She is not Blainerific. Dramatic, ruthless, but not Blainerific. NEXT.



Now here are the two who carried the season. Alejandro is kind of an expy of Justin, but the difference between the two is that Alsjandro is not acraid of getting down and dirty, and he is very educated and uses his brains to carry him through a majority of the time. He gets rid of a majority of the contestants by his quick thinking. He is the typical Spanish hottie. He is not afraid of getting a bruise and constantly worrying about his looks like Justin does. Anyways, he used his charm and seductions to get further with the ladies, but he uses charisma to win over some of the males. He was seen as a team player which made people like him (unlike Justin). He is very talented, and is the son of a diplomat and an educated family. His insecurity about his brother gives him depth as well. A downfall to him is that he is a villain sue. He is constantly given these traits out of a random just so he can have the upper hand compared to others, but what I will say is that at least it is explained by him learning from his highly skilled family (unlike Zoey where it has NO explanation). While being a villain is not into play, his other plot is Heather. He knows she is smart and is onto him, but he becomes attracted to her because they are so much alike, and he likes a challenge. He tries to seduce her (to which she declines) but when something happens to the other, they feel a way and worried about one another. They got jealous when the other is flirting with the other, and they have some weird friction between them. They then get to a point where everyone knows they like one another and they both deny it, getting annoyed with people saying that and them acting too much alike. They slowly become the only ones in the competition and they battle it out, but she gets sad that he is about to leave her life and they have a moment where they declare their love for one another, until she chooses the money over him. This is greatly written. Heather is put into the position of being the hero (though she was manipulative and went back into her roots). Her conflicts with the others have grown, and she is not the ultimate target like she was in the previous season. This season made me like her A LOT more, giving another side to her. Most of her plot I already discussed.



While there are some issues with the season (some players changing characters too much, a lot more people godplaying, the dark theme that took everyone on the last half of the season, all of the storylines are eventually wrapped up properly (the love triangle being debatable), and it improved on most of the characters. It is more consistent and enjoyable than the other three.

First Generation Character Explanations
25. Justin



Justin is dead last for a few reasons. One is that he is just pathetic; very pathetic. He constantly is worrying about damaging his looks, and uses it as an excuse to get out of things. He knows he has no redeemable traits and likability outside of his looks. A part of this is because he is too lazy and dumb to be an antagonist, which is why he is one of the worst. If he was ugly, he would probably end his life because he knows he is unlikable. There is no reason for us to sympathize for him, and is extremely irritating with his bad humor, constant whining, vanity, and all of that. Just ugh.

24. Ezekiel

In all of his appearances, my major annoyance is that he is annoying. He is annoying in TRI with his naïveté, and his sexist remarks were more than disrespectful, and U cannot believe that people forgot about that, and his relationship with Anne Maria does not prove any different. Then in Action, he shows that money is more important than anything, which he shows when TDWT comes on. After he was the first voted off AGAIN, he became obsessively determind with winning and he becomes more vengeful. His character took a turn to the worst phiysically and mentally, though he did not deserve what he got, and it is sickening that it is used as a joke in ROTI and AS, and he had the worst fate. Otherwise, I think he is ignorant, and needs to get his life together.

23. Courtney

She is ONLY below Duncan because of TDAS when he did not annoy me much, while she annoyed me immensely. What I dislike about her is that she whines way too much. She whined about other people not doing the challenges well, she whined when things did not go her way, she is just a spoiled brat. What made me start to dislike her was how shew handled Sadie in TDI. Then in TDA, she became this monster, who used loophole after loophole, god-playing in the challenges, and became extremely irritating. She was reveales ot be a selfish, entitled, bratty, ungrateful person who cannot accewpt when they lost. She can be likable, which annoys me even more abnout her. She would kill anyone to get ahead for a million (which is not even too much today). Even when she had happioness, she would toss that aside for smalll chump change. To me, she is inconsistent, a coward, and a CU#$. I felt sorry for her when she was cheated on (though she did not treat him the best) but the way she handled it, ala flirting with Tyler, using it as an excuse to yell to hear her own voice made me dislike her even more. She is digging her own grave. There is little to nothing that can make me be on her side.

22. Duncan

I do not like the "Juvelile Delinquent" type of people, so why would I like a cartoon that is this? I do not like how he pushes people around and bully them for absolutely no reason (Harold, and a few others minorly). He thinks he can do whatever he wants because he is cool. I was already iffy about him in TDI, but what officialy made me dislike him is when he voted off Geoff because he did not vote off his girlfriend Bridgette. WHO DOES THAT. Anyways, he also cheated in challenges a few tiems, which is not right. He CAN be sweet, and he CAN be a loving person to others, but the most important thing to him is to be a bada##, and a deadbeat. WHY am I supposed to sympathize with someone who wants to be a loser in society. I did not like it when he was not a team player in TDA and taunted others, did not like it when he could not have the DECENCY to dump his girlfriend before making out with his side chick, threaten others MANY times, constantly throw people under the bus, and the most frustrating thing about it is that he almost NEVER gets his commupance. Poeple xcuse him because he is "hot" and "cool". At least he went to jail. I do not like him constantly being on my screen, which is on e of the only reasons why I enjoyed the last 5 episodes of TDAS.

21. Blaineley

Ugh, I cannot even believe she is even considered a contestant. Well, her celebrity diva attitude was funny at first in the aftermaths, btu she soon go tnanoying, then she became a plot device to expose everyone. We learned that she was fat and hairy. She is just blah.

20. Eva

Eva is probably the least important character in the first generation, which is sad because unlike Katie and Sadie, she wants to compete. Anyways, one reason as to why I dislike her is because she is flat. Allw e know about her is that she is european, and has anger issues. Even the twins are given more depth than she is. Another is that her anger outbursts are not dunny, but disturbing. She does not take much responsibility for her actions, but she wonders why people hate her. She is not likable in any way to me.

19. Noah

While I do like that he is sarcastic (since I am sarcastic too), he is not really that interesting as a character. He does have those quick one liners, has a defined personality, and it was nice seeing him being a team player, he is still extremely lazy. He does not really go through tht much or make me laugh (since I dont think he is that funny) for me to like him. Maybe he should have been a bit more developed.

18. DJ

My opinoin on DJ is that he is in between; don't like him, don't hate him. In TDI, he was just Goeff's and Duncan's friend, who never really had any plot whatsoever. He helped his team and was a sweetheart, but still boring. In TDA, they gave him a plot with Chef Hatchet forcing him into an alliance and making him into more of a man. This actually works well, as DJ quits with integrity, and stands up fro himself, not beign afraid of everything. Then he gets completely derailed in TDWT when that stupid curse plot that made his team lost happen. He became extrememy wimpy, whiny, annoying, irritating, weak, non reliable, and a real pain in the a&&. TDWT made him worse and dislikable as a character who was boring in the first place.

17. Katie

Yes, she is flat as a character and never returned after her early eliminaiotn in TDI, but she never annoyed me as much as she did to others. It is clear that she is the more athletic one out of the duo, and a bit less weird. She is here because she was sarely seen, and all she was was a groupie to Trent, Jusitn, and the Drama Brothers, which is a shame because they had potential. Their dependancey on one another is really annoying though.

16. Sadie

She si up here because she made it farther than Katie. Like her BFF, she is flat as a character and never returned after her early eliminaiotn in TDI, but she never annoyed me as much as she did to others. She si the mroe quiet and awkward one of the group, as she was silent after Katie went, and she somewhat befriended Harold. She is also a bit smarter than Katie. Again, she had potential, but became a groupie and her dependancy was annoying.
