User blog comment:TheDipDap1234/Analyzing the so called "floaters" of every season./@comment-25297892-20160802095228

Guess I'm expected to share my particular opinions sometimes, and in a period that the blogs are always the same stuff this is the brightest occasion I see to comment something "new", Said this, here's my opinion.

TDI: I disagree with those who keep saying Owen was a floater and/or didn't deserve to win. Sure, Gwen was the best developed of the season but Owen was the face of Island without even being an obvious screenhogger. It was a clever touch to make him the winner of the first season, usually fatties and comical like him don't last much in real life reality shows. Owen was THE FACE of Total Drama Island, while Gwen was THE HEART of it. Duncan was too negative role model to win, Geoff would have been a flat winner (RR later confirmed), Heather was the main villain and Leshawna wasn't enough good to be eligible for the F2. Owen and Gwen were and still are the best choices for a final 2 seen in this format.

TDA: Both Beth and Duncan weren't protagonist neither floaters, they just screenhogged far beyond their true potential receiving a little development compared to the two moral winners Lindsay and Harold. My problem with Beth is that she lacks of the interesting parts to be a true protagonist and she was given a bigger role than she could handle with her characterization, my problem with Duncan is that he was a total jerk and even didn't win fairly many challenges. By TDA he was already a rotten character. Owen "floated" no doubts because he was overused and returned. Justin and Heather floated too in my opinion.

TDWT: Owen wasn't the main floater of this season but he floated soon after Noah was eliminated. About Cody, honestly I don't consider him a floater, more like the underdog who was put in a safe position thanks to the invincible streak of the Amazons. Speaking of Amazons, Gwen and Courtney were the true floaters, because if you tick off their triangle plot with Duncan, they have nothing else to offer in this season.

TDROTI: Jo deserved more than Lightning to be in the final 2, but eventually this final worked with Cameron. Lightning is a floater? So-so. My main problem is that Scott prefered to target a couch potato like Sam and not him. WHY? Mystery...

TDAS: Mike was the only hero of TDAS that acted actually like that without being dimwitted like Zoey and Cameron just because of his interior feud with Mal. TBH, Mike subplot was the only one I liked to follow because outside that the alternative was Scottney, the sickening triangle, Duncan being useless clown of the season, Gwen and Courtney becoming Katie & Sadie and Zoey godplaying. Compared to the rest of the cast and their actions and performances, Mike won All Stars fair and square, even through the help of Mal he did more than the others in generally. SCOTT WAS AN ABSOLUTE FLOATER, ON THE CONTRARY.

Pahkitew: even Sky floated in this season. Her plot was entirely linked to Dave (before and after his elimination) and besides winning ton of challenges she didn't do much to be a deserved finalist. Of course, there were many other characters that floated more than her: Max (agree at all with you), Scarlett (shadow of Max), Sugar (extreme luck, godplaying and the unfair victory streak given to Maskwak), and arguably Topher (but he was eliminated in the half of the season, not even reaching merge, so he wasn't this floating..)

RR: surprised you didn't mention Stepbrothers and Daters. The former were invisible in all the episodes except the last 2 only to get with a really dumb and poor development plot, the latter were spared three times, did nothing than argue like idiots and annoyed the hell of the viewers for a whole season only to end up engaged again. Surfers....their return was too late in the game to make me accept it, they robbed the place deserved by Goths, Sisters, Best Friends or Pros. One of them should have been the second final team.
