User blog:SC Heerenveen/Some TD mysteries solved

'''On a website called TV Tropes there are a lot of interesting solutions to confusing moments in tdi. I just picked a few out, hope you'll enjoy.'''

Why didn't everyone vote off Heather in 'Up the Creek'?

In total drama, it's all about making a good impression. During 'Up the Creek' Izzy spent the entire time running around tranquilizing everything she saw. If I was one of the contestants, I'd be pissed at her to.

How can Alejandro speak Japanese and understand Jerd?

His dad is an ambassador. His family probably travels a lot.

Why was Tyler looked so shocked at Duncan and Gwen kissing?

He's a Gwody fan! It's confirmed several times throughout the show.

Why is Alejandro so perfect compared to everyone else?

Clever editing by Chris and the producers.

Why did Alejandro eliminate Harold instead of DJ in 'Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan'?

Because he saw Harold as a threat, Harold is known for being a guy who helps his team win in times when most needed and is always viewed as an underdog by others. Alejandro watched the show and knew everyone's personallities, he wanted to make a move on LeShawna and had the perfect oppurtunity to take out Team Victory most vallued(and annoying) member. That and if he didn't manipulate Harold, DJ and his curse would be gone and the team would be come their biggest threat. Another thing to point out is that if Harold made it to the merge, Heather would have a close ally.

''At the end of Action, LeShawna and Heather are on friendly terms, but during world tour there arch-enemies again. Why?''

During the total drama action special, Heather and Gwen are in a blog war. LeShawna probably sided with Gwen 'cause you know... they're best friends.

Why was Katie eliminated instead of Katie in 'the Sucky Outdoors'?

How many times have you said Sadie and Katie? No one on the Killer Bass cared about the two and they just picked the first name that popped into their heads.

Why was Scott so dumb in All-Stars while he was one of the smartest people in ROTI?

His encounter with Fang left him with some brain damage.

Why was the quiet eye-candy Justin suddenly evil in the special and season 2?

His defeat by the hands of Heather made him so pissed. He though he should do the same thing seeing as how far Heather had come in the game. He thought that even if the plan would fail, he'll be appreciated in no time thanks to his looks. Which is exactly what happened. That and Eva, Ezekiel and Noah are not my favorite people to be stuck with for 3 days.

Why was Alejandro so pissed at Noah for calling him an eel while he had been called far worse by Heather.?

He wasn't pissed about the comment, he felt betrayed because Noah played the game of being ALejandro's friend, while actually e had outsmarted him. Furious, he convinced Duncan and Tyler to vote him out.

Fun fact: Phakitew Island final three were all confused bears, so technicaly the bears ate the salmons. It's also a clever nod to the final four of TDI, 3 Screaming Gophers and 1 Killer Bass.

''How was the Courtney/Duncan/Gwen love triangle able to cause so much damage? Couldn't any of the three have talked it out with each other or used the other campers as mediators to help do so? ''

Well, every possible mediator had been eliminated or disabled by this point. From the people eliminated up to these events occurred, Harold, Bridgette, Leshawna, Lindsay, and DJ, generally all kind, easy-going people, could each have acted as a mediator or go-between to help lessen or repair the damage the love triangle would cause. By the time Duncan returns and everything hits the fan, none of them are left. There was still the possibility of Owen doing something to help mediate things too, but that was the purpose of Izzy and Noah's eliminations. With the two of them gone, Owen was lost in grief and worried Alejandro would take him out next. Coincidence? Probably. It's true that Chris had no way to know that Duncan would come back at that point, but looking at it from this perspective, the triangle was deliberately triggered so that everyone who was left in the either game had something to do with the triangle or cared too much about themselves to do anything to lessen the damage. Cody, Sierra, or even Heather could have helped, but here are the reasons why that didn't happen: Sierra is willing to get Gwen off the show while Cody is an asshole to Duncan. But Heather is the only chance Gwen has to be saved, and unfortunately that got ruined when Courtney got Heather jealous by flirting with Alejandro as part of his own plan. So the true monster of the love triangle is Alejandro, not Duncan, Gwen or Courtney.
