User blog:CheeseBurgerGuy/Total Drama My Way: Island (Revised)

The very first ost I ever made for this wiki was a My Way blog for the first season of Total Drama. At the time, I was really proud of my work. However, when I went back to read it more recently, I was baffled. DJ and Lindsay swapping teams? Cody being medically evacuated twice? Four returning players and all in a single episode? Honestly, I have nothing but bad things to say about it now. As such, I decided to start from scracth and redo it. Let's get started.

Episodes 1 & 2: Not So Happy Campers

 * Notes:
 * The first episode remains as it is (I have no reason to change it)
 * Chris does not allow Katie and Izzy to swap teams in the second episode, meaning that the BFFs join the chicken coup.
 * During the second challenge, Sadie and Katie ditch their teams to have a secret rendezvous. As a result, this is where the poison ivy gag comes in (karma).
 * Ezekiel still makes his sexist comments, though this time they are mostly directed towards Sadie.
 * Immunity: Screaming Gophers
 * Bottom 2: Ezekiel and Sadie
 * Why Zeke?: While he may have carried his weight in the challenge, he offended the girls.
 * Why Sadie?: The guys saw Sadie as a liability for putting her friendship with Katie before the team.
 * Votes for Zeke: Courtney, Bridgette, Izzy, Eva, and Sadie
 * Votes for Sadie: Duncan, Geoff, DJ, Harold, Tyler, and Zeke.
 * Eliminated: Sadie (22nd)
 * Votes for Zeke: Courtney, Bridgette, Izzy, Eva, and Sadie
 * Votes for Sadie: Duncan, Geoff, DJ, Harold, Tyler, and Zeke.
 * Comments: I was never a fan of the BFFs. By preventing the team swap, I had a great excuse to get rid of the one with less potential before they got too annoying.

Episode 3: The Big Sleep

 * Notes:
 * While Katie is upset that Sadie is already gone, the Gophers offer her support.
 * Heather senses an oppurtunity and brings Katie into her final 3 alliance with Beth and Lindsay
 * Ezekiel does very well in the challenge and tries apolgizing for the things he said last episode, though Bridgette in particular ain't hearing it.
 * Immunity: Screaming Gophers
 * Bottom 2: Eva and Ezekiel
 * Why Eva?: Due to Eva's anger issues (as showcased in the MP3 incindent), the Bass were terrified of her.
 * Why Zeke?: Many of the girls were still satly about his actions last episode.
 * Eliminated: Eva (21st)
 * Votes for Zeke: Bridgette, Izzy, and Eva
 * Votes for Eva: Duncan, Courtney, Geoff, Tyler, DJ, Harold, and Zeke
 * Comments: I just couldn't take Heather's first scheme of the season away from her. Additonally, I believe that Eva is a character that is better in small doses.

Episode 4: Dodgebrawl

 * Notes:
 * Like Noah, Justin choose to sit out of all the matches. In his case, it is to protect his face.
 * Instead of Lindsay and Tyler losing the game to go sit at the beach, Justin seduces her instead. and they make out (like canon Not Quite Famous but still on the beach).
 * Like in canon, they are caught by Heather and she is furious.
 * Tyler ends up sitting out of later games due to depression.
 * Immunity: Killer Bass
 * Bottom 2: Justin and Noah
 * Why Justin?: Heather believes that Justin is a threat to her alliance with Lindsay. She is able to use Justin's cheating and sitting out to convince her teammates to target him as well.
 * Why Noah?: Like Justin, Noah was getting on the nerves of his teammates and an obvious target for elimination.
 * Eliminated: Justin (20th)
 * Votes for Justin: Heather, Owen, Gwen, Leshawna, Trent, Cody, Katie, and Noah.
 * Votes for Noah: Lindsay, Beth, and Justin.
 * Comments: Justin really wasn't doing anything this season so I decided to do something about it. Justin and Lindsay got together to strecth out the romance between her and Tyler, creating drama along the way. For fans for Lindsay x Tyler, do not fear, it will happen down the road.

Episode 5: Not Quite Famous

 * Notes:
 * Challenge Overhaul! Instead of single highest performer, the victor is decided based on the total combined score
 * Since Justin has been eliminated, Leshawna dances her way to a single point in his place
 * instead of having Bridgette perform second and Harold beatboxing third, it is the opposite
 * Bridgette pukes all over Chris and Chef instead of Tyler, resulting in her earning negative points
 * Immunity: Screaming Gophers
 * Bottom 3: Bridgette, Ezekiel, and Harold
 * Why Bridgette?: She clearly cost the team this challenge.
 * Why Ezekiel?: Turns out that Zeke has a bit of a crush on Bridgette in this universe and wants to protect her. Knowing it would probably get him eliminated, he makes a joke about DJ's talent to shift the target.
 * Why Harold?: Despite doing well in the talent show and dodgeball, Zeke voted for him due to being an outsider.
 * Eliminated: Ezekiel (19th)
 * Votes for Bridgette: Courtney, Tyler, and Harold.
 * Votes for Zeke: DJ, Duncan, Geoff, and Izzy
 * Votes for Harold: Bridgette and Zeke
 * Comments: While Zeke rapping is a perfect excuse to eliminate him, I wanted Zeke to grow as a character and to redeem himself. Having him sacrifice his game to save Bridgette seemed like a great way to do that.
