Hey Julie. Once again, thank you for all of the time you take to answer these questions, and especially for putting up with some fans who can't see past their favorite character not being included in every single season of anything that Total Drama ever created, or won't stop trying to solicit their fanfic ideas. :P

I asked a couple questions several months ago (waaay back on like page 54), revolving around the role of minor characters in the Total Drama world, as well as the difference between internet fandom and the younger generation of fans. You had a great response, which I never followed up on, (^^;) but thank you for answering! Your personal theories on demographics, decision-making, and Total Drama in general, are just as interesting to me as information about the future of the series. So this time I have a question that I'm curious on your opinion about, about the format of Total Drama.

It seems to me that The Ridonculous Race was a fantastic way to keep Total Drama itself alive. Not to say that the Total Drama Island concept was getting stale, but RR provides you an opportunity to expand on the Total Drama universe while also bringing in a fresh new concept. It also has to be fun for you guys to try something new. This got me thinking that by parodying reality competition shows, Total Drama universe has potential to expand in all sorts of directions, which is what makes it such a great idea. So my question is this: In your opinion, do you think that the Ridonculous Race could start a trend on the Total Drama universe possibly expanding to other reality show parodies beyond Survivor or The Amazing Race? (Such as The Mole, Big Brother, etc.) Not asking if it's on the table, just whether or not you see it as a possible trend. Once again, your time is always appreciated! Thanks in advance.
