User blog:TheDipDap1234/Analyzing the so called "floaters" of every season.

There's at least one floater from every season of the show for many people. Why do these people call those contestants floaters and are they really floaters? Let's analyze them ala DipDap style!

Total Drama Island
Owen - Many people call Owen a floater in TDI for making it to the finale without having any really important plot. Many people think he won the competition simply because he's Tom McGillis' favorite character. What do I think? He wasn't a floater. Owen just had an amazing social game which made him get very far in the competition. Those people with great social game get can get eliminated for having many friends and having great physical abilities. Bridgette and Geoff got eliminated for this reason. Owen on the other hand was a lovable goofball that liked everyone around him. He wasn't always great in the challenges, and he sucked in most of them (The cooking challenge, anyone?) but he always survived because of his great social skills and because whenever he screwed up something for his team, there were others who screwed things up even more than him. Let's not forget Total Drama is a cartoon, it needs to have a character that kids can either relate to or laugh at, that's why every season has a main comic relief that makes it very far in the competition. Owen was the main comic relief in Island. If the main comic relief doesn't make it very far then the ratings could drop hard. As I said, Owen was the main comic relief in Island and Action, Sierra was in World Tour, Lightning was in Revenge, Scott was in All Stars, Sugar was in Pahkitew and the Surfers were in RR. So yeah, to me, Owen wasn't a floater this season.

DJ - DJ is another character who's considered a floater by many people for almost the same reasons as Owen. Made it far in the competition without any real important plot. Well, let's be honest in here, DJ was the contestant with the BEST social skills in the competition. Probably in the whole show overall. He's so well liked, that we was NEVER voted off. Even Heather liked him in Island. Not only that, but he was very useful in challenges too. I'm not sure why did nobody try to eliminate him in Island when he had a better social game than Bridgette but whatever. No, DJ wasn't a floater, and he didn't deserve to get eliminated for simply being too scared in a challenge.

Sadie - Sadie is considered a floater in Island by many people because after Phobia Factor she

didn't have a single line till her elimination episode, and even then she had very few lines and importance. To this I say, Yes she was a floater, and was lucky Beth found that tiki idol, otherwise she would have been eliminated after Tyler most likely.

Total Drama Action
Duncan - Duncan in Total Drama Action was considered a floater by many people for not winning any challenges at the merge. Duncan was many challenges for his team before the merge, and used strategy after that with Courtney. He also formed another guys alliance to get Leshawna out of the competition. He wasn't a floater, but he definitely did more things in Island.

Beth - Beth in Total Drama Action is considered a floater by many people for not doing anything till Lindsay got eliminated. I have to agree on this one. Beth wasn't really useful in the challenges, her social game was very mediocre. Her only real friends were Lindsay and Justin who was  her ally and that's it. Izzy was annoyed by her and she barely interacted with Owen or Trent. She really didn't do much, but after Lindsay got eliminated, she suddenly got better both as a competitior and a character as well. Owen - Main comic relief. Enough said. ==Total Drama World Tour== Owen - Yep... Owen again. Basically, people think he was a floater for the exact same reasons. Owen was the secondary comic relief of TDWT and had a better social game than he did in Action. He also had more importance this time. He became friends with Noah, broke up with Izzy, and Alejandro and Duncan played mind games with him to become one of their allies. He wasn't a floater.

Cody - People consider Cody a floater in World Tour for making it to the final 3 without really doing anything. Many people think Sierra carried him to the final 3. To that I say... yes he was a floater. He was useful in some challenges, like in Japan or Greece, but besides that, he didn't really do much. His social game was mediocre, he barely sang or had any major focus, and he wasn't even the main comic relief. If Sierra wasn't there, and the whole love triangle drama didn't happen, he would have been eliminated way earlier than he originally did.

Total Drama Revenge of the Island
Lightning - Lightning is considered by many people a floater for making it to the finale without having any friends or important plot. In my opinion, Lightning wasn't a floater. Before the merge, he was the most athletic yet also the dumbest person on his team. He was useful so his team didn't want to vote him out, and because he's dumb and easy to manipulate Scott didn't want to eliminate him till Finders Creepers, where he mentioned he's planning to eliminate him or Sam next. After the team swaps, he formed an alliance with Jo and for 3 episodes he mostly interacted with her. After Jo betrayed him, he formed a short friendship alliance with Cameron to get Jo out, and his plan worked. After that his conflict with Cameron started and ended in the finale. He won the final 3 challenge too btw. So no, I don't think Lightning was a floater. He was also the main comic relief of the season. Nuff' said.

Total Drama All Stars
Scott - Scott is considered a floater by many people because he made it to the final 3 with having only one miserable plot with Courtney and nothing more. To that I say, yes, that was his only, but he still had one, and he was also the main comic relief, and without him, All Stars would have been worse than it was. So no, I don't think he was a floater.

Mike - Mike is considered by many people a floater because he won the million dollars and was declared the true all star of Total Drama, eventhough, he spend more than half of the season in his brain walking, I agree with those people. If Mal would have won, I would've been okay with it (okay, not) but the fact that Mike, who all he did this season was walk in his brain to push a button was declared the biggest all star of Total Drama is insulting to me.

Total Drama Pahkitew Island
Max - I don't think I need to explain this. I agree with those who say Max was a floater. Max had an abysmal social game, and was lucky he made it to the final 5. The season was filled with many rigging and disqualifications, if those didn't happen, Max would've been the first person to go home from his team. He had zero friends and he wasn't even the main comic relief, that was Sugar.

Total Drama Presents the Ridonculous Race
Surfers - Made it to the finale without any development, blah blah blah, read what I said at TDI Owen. It's basically the same. Yes I do think it was unfair for a returning team to win, and yes, I do think the race was way too easy for them after they returned. But that's still not floating. A team can't float in RR. It's impossible.
