That's true, and I do feel like Pahkitew Island used it's time better than the previous 13 episode season did. However, I still feel like the extra time given with 26 episodes could have improved the plots of that season by a lot, especially certain ones like Scarlett being evil or the twins plotline.

One thing that especially bothered me was the fact that the 13 episodes were all set to air within two weeks, with one episode a day. It makes me feel like Total Drama is being badly managed; Like Cartoon Network or whoever decided that was thinking, "Hey, let's smush this Total Drama thing into two weeks so we don't have to deal with it."
