User blog:ArtDraw12/My hopes for future TD seasons

Hi, users! I noticed that many people think that Total Drama series are getting worse and worse. Well, I have to agree. Creators of Total Drama have made multiple mistakes. Can they repair them? Do they want to repair them? We don't know... And that's why I decided to write a blog about my hopes for future TD seasons (TDPI and possible next seasons). Let's start, shall we?

No more 13 episodes format
That's right. This is a very huge problem which caused a lot of damages in season 4-5, such as: And so on. Ok, maybe it's not that bad, especially with challenges but there's something important here and possibly most of you will agree with me. In order to make an interesting season, develop characters and their plots/interactions we need more episodes. Are 26 episodes too many for the creators now? But we have more than 26 contestants (and soon we will receive 14 newcomers). They can put 27 (or a few more) contestants into one long enough season now. Also 13 episodes is too short. It ends too fast. And the only ones who got fair amount of screen time are usually the winners.
 * Lack of screen time for contestants, especially for early outs.
 * Lack of screen time for interactions.
 * Lack of screen time for plots.
 * Lack of screen time for challenges.
 * Lack of screen time for Chris and Chef (especially the latter one).
 * Lack of screen time for pre and post-elimination scenes.

Give us more serious antagonists
Out of all of our antagonists only Heather, Courtney and Alejandro are serious antagonists for me. They all won some challenges, had some smart strategy, manipulated somebody and other contestants feared them. And what are we getting lately? Justin who barely can be counted as an antagonist, Scott who because of his lame strategy and a huge bad luck is half comic relief and half serious villain (see Grand Chef Auto where he actually showed that he can do bad things) and Mal who in theory seems to be the most evil guy on the planet but in practice is almost as lame as Justin. And what will we get? Max who is terrible. I hope Amy and Shawn will take the roles of antagonists of TDPI. Seriously, I miss well-done villains who knew what to do.

Give Chef some more important role
I'm annoyed by the fact that since TDWT Chef just appears there and does nothing, except for about 1-2 episodes where he actually gets some more important role. Ok, I know that even in TDI he had many minor appearances but he still managed to be one of the main characters. TDA was even better for him. Where are the good times of TDI and TDA when Chef could have some plot? Same can be said for Chris.

Bring back Underdogs but don't forget about All-Stars
I miss minor contestants like Ezekiel, Eva, Noah, Tyler, Dawn, Dakota, Brick, etc. I know that some of them are now waste of characters, because they have been replaced by some of the newcomers (for ecample Bridgette by Zoey, Eva by Jo, etc.) but I still think it'd be cool to bring them back. At least for couple episodes. I mean, do creators remember that characters like Katie, Sadie, Eva and Staci still exist? Eva could be the best one as mixing her anger and the fact that she hasn't competed for 5 seasons in a row can make her a really interesting antagonist. One of the most serious ones, whom I miss.

On the other hand, characters like Duncan, Heather, Gwen, Courtney, etc. are the true All-Stars of Total Drama, just like Chris and Chef! TD without them wouldn't be the same. But since even I'm kinda bored by them, I think they need a break (aka Total Drama: Pahkitew Island and season 7). Just let them make cameos or work as interns or whatever! In this case they won't be forgotten like Underdogs were.

Change the target audience
Correct me if I'm wrong but wasn't Total Drama Island originally targeted for teens? What happened with cursing? What happened with sexual references? What happened with nudity? There haven't been any females who would be completely naked on-screen. I know that a beaver showed middle finger in Moon Madness and creators still enjoy their dark humor (Cameron getting seriously injured and exclusive clips) but that's not the same. TDI was known for being one of the most mature cartoons. So what happened?

Give Ezekiel and Dakota some medical treatment
I enjoyed Ezekiel's "very original" role in TDWT but now it's too much! Same with Dakota! Nobody wanted them to turn into monsters. WE want them to be normal again! I could also add Staci and Lightning but I'm pretty sure that Staci's hair grew back as she has short hair and (at least in my opinion) Lightning looks better with white hair. - Ok, that's all I remember (at least for now, maybe I'm gonna update this blog).

So, do you agree with me? Do you have any other ideas how to repair Total Drama series before it's too late? Or maybe it is too late now? Feel free to comment!
