User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 6)/@comment-27013391-20150328015340/@comment-31556666-20150328113507

How is that a bad thing? Plenty of characters have had their personality altered when they come back. For example, TDA Courtney was a main antagonist but is far from that in TDWT.

Scott was an antagonist first and a comic relief second. He was the clumsiest person in the Final 6 by a long shot. He's also always been dumb since his strategy is intentionally bad (e.g. team glaring at him in Ice Ice Baby). He's never shown to be book-smart, and that's where his AS stupidity is.

As for Scott's shyness, it was already explained that that was with a girl he liked. It sort of makes sense for him not to be good at being genuine with girls considering his already established lack of social skills. Any other time he interacted with a girl, it was to manipulate them. And if you're complaining that Scourtney went nowhere, that's not saying much considering about a dozen things went nowhere in this season. But I'd put Scourtney in the same leagues as Duncan's poorly done redemption. They both got plenty of episodes of development before having a horrendous ending

Plus, if Scott was the same sociopath villain he was in ROTI and repeated his same old shtick, he wouldn't be liked. If he was fodder, there'd be a complaint about his antagonism. Scott just wouldn't have many fans if not for this expansion on his obvious comedic side.
