10 For Project 10
Each month, I will provide analysis based on the results of each month's ballot. I will list the top ten trends that stood out or fascinated me. I encourage any viewers to comment on anything that fascinates them.

June 2017

 * 1)  Only one blowout win in the character department  - The results in Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour were not really stunning. Sure, we had a few surprises like Lindsay winning Saddest Elimination. I'm sure she would've won in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island if I included her as an option. However, the results in these later seasons are unexpected. If I were to tell you going into the month, the blowout would not be Jasmine for Best Character, I'm sure most would be surprised. Max padded down a large lead for Funniest Character (one point over 666!), while the gap between Leonard and Rodney for Worst Character got smaller through the month.
 * 2)  Jasmine's stability as a character hinders her  - Back to my point above, it is actually Max with his gigantic lead that finished second in Best All-Around Character, to Shawn! Not Jasmine! Jasmine had a bottom five total for Funniest Character in this cast and as the name of the category says, you need to score well in all three character categories to win.
 * 3)  Conflicts category was very close  - Minus Dave and Sky, the other conflicts all received at least fifteen votes. Three conflicts got more than twenty-five votes as well. The margarin of victory was less than ten.
 * 4)  Friendships category not so much  - To bounce off my point above, Jasmine and Samey undeniably took home Best Friendship. In a very small group of nominees, they received over one-hundred votes in the biggest blowout all year.
 * 5)  Amy's karma was beloved  - While some people believe Total Drama: Pahkitew Island has no main antagonist hurt the season to an extent, the top two candidates in Best Elimination were Amy and Sugar, with Scarlett finishing just shy of the top three. Best Elimination was the closest it has been in months.
 * 6)  Competition for the fifth saddest elimination non-existent  - Ella was taking home this category, although Jasmine provided a push toward the end. Samey and Dave also received some consideration. However, there was literally no competition for fifth place. Max wins those honors with less than fifty points. I guess nobody felt bad for the other nine characters.
 * 7)  Teams come down to the final week  - How about this? After a one-sided affair last month, Best Team came down to the very end. It is worth noting that the second and third generation teams are not as memorable as the first few seasons, partially due to all the swaps or in this case, the confusing names. We'll see how they stack up in the future.
 * 8)  Speaking of blowouts, Scarlett Fever!  - This is when a thirteen episode season can really help some standouts. Scarlett Fever was just shy of 650 points, cruising to an easy victory. In fact, combine the second and third placed episodes and Scarlett Fever would still have more points.
 * 9)  The season progressively got worse, once again  - With flashbacks to Total Drama Action in mind, there are a few outliers (Scarlett Fever, Pahk'd With Talent), but the graphs rise up considerably, culminating in a first place with for the season finale in the Worst Episode category.
 * 10)  Nice rebound to Total Drama All-Stars  - With that said, only one-fifth of total votes gave this season a 4 or a 5, causing the grade to drag down a bit.
