User blog:Iml908/Total Drama Island: Scoring System

So this is an idea I've had for a while now. For those who are unaware, the fans of the reality show RuPaul's Drag Race made something called the "Dusted or Busted" Scoring System. It is used to measure the performance of a contestant, regardless of placement in the competition. I thought it would be a cool idea to apply this concept to the Total Drama series, altered of course.

This is Total Drama Island: Scoring System.

Scoring Method

 * 2 points are added when a contestant or team wins an immunity challenge. (2)
 * 1 point is added when a contestant or team wins a reward challenge. (+1)
 * 0 points are added when a contestant loses a challenge, but is declared safe during the elimination ceremony. (0)
 * 1 point is subtracted when a contestant is in the bottom 2 for an elimination ceremony. (-1)
 * 2 points are subtracted when a contestant is eliminated. (-2)

Rankings

 * 1) Gwen, 19 points. This makes Gwen, statistically, the winner of this season.
 * Tie: Heather and Leshawna, 16 points. I was not expecting Heather to be this high, but given all the times she won 11 immunity challenges, the most of any contestant, it wasn't that surprising I guess. Only reason she wasn't higher was because she was in the bottom 4 times before being eliminated. It's also kinda fitting Leshawna and Heather share the second place spot.
 * 1) Owen, 14 points. Owen really wasn't the best competitor, considering he was a finalist but rarely ever won an individual challenge. All his wins are shared with another contestant.
 * 2) Trent, 13 points. This was also really surprising considering how he placed only 11th. This is primarily because the Screaming Gophers were so dominant, and Trent was never in the bottom before his elimination.
 * 3) Lindsay, 10 points. The last of the Screaming Gophers who made it to the merge. Lindsay didn't really do all to well. She was the only girl on the Screaming Gophers who never won a challenge post-merge.
 * Tie: Geoff and DJ, 9 points. The highest ranking members of the Killer Bass, they had pretty much the same track record. All the wins one had, the other also had.
 * 1) Bridgette, 8 points. She also won all the same immunity challenges Geoff and DJ won, but the reason she is lower is because Geoff and DJ were on the wining team during the reward challenge.
 * Tie: Duncan and Sadie, 7 points. It's kinda funny Duncan, one of the strongest Total Drama contestants shares a ranking with Sadie, one of the most nothing contestants there is. But, it's true. Duncan is the lowest ranking from the contestants who survived until the merge (not counting those who returned to the competition), while Sade is the highest ranking from the contestants who did not make the merge.
 * Tie: Courtney, Beth, and Cody, 6 points. A three-way tie. Courtney probably would have been higher is she wasn't the the bottom so much.
 * 1) Harold, 5 points. Another contestant held back by the amount of times he was in the bottom. He was in the bottom 4 total times, second to only Heather.
 * 2) Izzy, 4 points. Not the best run considering she was 7th place, but she was eliminated twice, severely crippling her score.
 * Tie: Tyler, Katie, Justin, and Noah, 2 points. All of these contestants only won 2 challenges and were never in the bottom before being eliminated.
 * 1) Ezekiel, -2 points. Not surprising he is this low because he was eliminated first, but he is not last place.
 * 2) Eva, -4 points. Statistically, the worst Total Drama Island contestant, but only because she never won a challenge and was eliminated twice.
