13. Zoey - Indie Chick? Where?
Let me make this clear. You do not find your one true love the first five minutes you've known him. What I don't understand is how the creators go from making meaningful moral stories about how romance isn't perfect through Gwen to making s*** stories like the one they made for MikexZoey. Believe me, I hate Mike with a passion, but there's a reason Zoey is all the way down here. She has Trent Syndrome, that is to say she has no personality and exists only to be with Mike, to revolve around Mike, to be Mike's personal servant and sacrifice her ENTIRE LIFE for Mike. I'm a male, but I'm also a firm believer in women's rights and I'm one of those non-crazy feminists myself. Seeing women portrayed as talking about only their significant other and making their life revolve around them is stupid, sexist and unrealistic. And so is their relationship. Literally five minutes into the show: "Mike the sweetest guy ever", like honey you've known the noodle boy for hardly 3 minutes don't be so quick. This is why America has so many divorces. Among other reasons too...but this is one too...Anyway, in TDAS, Zoey, among pretty much everyone, got way worse. She godplayed. Where did those skills come from?! She got to the finals and it was stupid.



Next, there's her label. HOW IS SHE AN INDIE CHICK?! What possibly qualifies her to be an Indie Chick?! She claims she has no friends, and later in Grand Chef Auto she claims she loves oddballs, but what happens when Dawn tries to be her friend? She rejects her. What happens when Dakotazoid tries to be Zoey's friend? Zoey VOTES HER OFF DESPITE THE FACT THAT DAKOTA SAVED HER UNGRATEFUL EXISTENCE LIKE 3 TIMES IN THAT ONE EPISODE. Zoey is an ungrateful worthless person and an excuse of a contestant for this show. Last thing to say, in ROTI she was bad but not horrendous. In TDAS she got a billion times worse. THREE people told her about Mal, count it, THREE people, Alejandro, Duncan and Scott, and she didn't believe any of them, no, nothing could be wrong with her perfect little Mike. And lastly (for real this time), something that really bugged me in ROTI Episode 4, Finders Creepers: Anne Maria and Vito's makeout session. I didn't mind it, Anne MariaxVito is pretty cute actually, it's what Zoey said. She acted like she's entitled to Mike, saying that he's supposed to like her. Um, honey, no. That's not how it works. Rant over. I will say one good thing, and it's that Zoey got at least a little character development in ROTI from being a shy, antisocial girl who needs everyone's approval, to being confident and "Commando Zoey". Best episode: Eat, Puke And Be Wary. Screentime: Too much with Mike, not enough on her own. Development: 5/10. Favorite ship: None. Especially not Zoke.



12. Mike - Multiple Personality Vomit
Hey Zoey! Guess what, I put your perfect little Mike up here with you on this list! Let's begin. Mike was annoying in ROTI. His ONLY trait was that he's basically Trent in TDI. They gave so much attention to his alter-egos (which I'll admit made me laugh sometimes. Yes, Chester, I'm talking about you. No, not you Svetlana. You're a girl in a dude's body. You're weird), that they didn't have time to give attention to the real Mike. Instead of Mike having a personality and Zoey being his follower as usual, they did something worse: made both of them revolve around each other. No. No. No, no, no, no. That's not how it works. Since we're talking about Mike here, let's go ahead and talk about the worst villain in TD history. Yes, even worse than Justin. Mal. Mal is an abomination, an insult to Total Drama. How do we go from brilliant villains like Heather and Alejandro to crap like Mal?! He never DID anything except try to kill people. How did he get Chris' mansion to fall on Gwen with those noodle arms of his?! WHY did he break people's stuff?! For the evulz?

Okay, next thing: I'll buy that Beth was cursed. I'll give in that toxic waste caused mutation. But I, for the life of me, will never buy this crap that there are Chris' cameras INSIDE MIKE'S HEAD. It's illogical. I thought this was a parody of Survivor not Inception. God. Anyway, Mal's defeat was the worst most lame thing ever. Mike FOUGHT with his non-evil personalities, but for the one that's actually evil he has to push a button? Lame. They really couldn't think of anything. And of course, at the end, he becomes a Mary Sue. So shocking. Every time this guy took a deep breath, I thought to myself "Oh brother, this again.". I was actually happy when Scott (God bless you Scott) had him voted off. Best episode: Grand Chef Auto, because HE LEFT IN IT. Screentime: Too f***ing much. Development: 0/10. Favorite ship: VitoxAnne Maria.



11. Sam - Seth Rogen As A Gamer
I get it. You want to pay homage to a great Canadian actor that is Seth Rogen. But, Teletoon, of course you needed a bad gimmick to match. Why not make him a gamer? It's perfect! No, it's not. Being a gamer myself, I have a personal grudge against Sam because honestly gamers are not like that in real life. We're normal people! The only difference between us and non-gamers is that at the end of a long, hard day instead of reading a book or watching a movie, we just want to sit down and make our Pikachu use Thunderbolt on some stupid wild Pokemon. Our whole lives don't revolve around video games, and we certainly wouldn't take our new Nintendo 3DS to TOTAL DRAMA. And despite what we want to believe, no, I don't think Call of Duty will ever help me in life, but I think it's a fun game and I'll play it anyway. Also, not enough Internet message board reference on this guy. They literally made him so they could give the moral to not be shallow because DakotaxSam. I'll admit, it's a good moral and I can certainly relate. Sam was basically a tool for character development on Dakota. Also, what is up with that weird thumb thing when Sam couldn't play video games? That's never happened to me before, or anyone I know. Best episode: Runaway Model. Screentime: Moderate. Development: 3/10. Favorite ship: DakotaxSam.



10. B - Silent And Not Really Deadly
Yeah, I love B, and I really mean it. He's cool and an awesome, swell guy, but I can't keep loving him when he doesn't say a word and when he refused to speak even when he could've been eliminated. What is up with that? I really liked B because he was so smart, but in all honesty he was just fodder to show how manipulative Scott was and to save money on a VA. I sympathized with him at first, but I can't keep taking his side. Come on Teletoon. Best episode: Truth or Laser Shark. Screentime: Not enough. Development: 1/10. Favorite ship: BxDawn, to an extent.

9. Lightning - Shabam!

Weird villain. Antagonized Cameron for no apparent reason other than Cameron winning immunity. It's his own fault for not touching the pole before Cameron's head did. When TDAS brought him back, they did two things right: Made him funny again and kept his time short. He made it to the finals, there was no reason for him to make it so far again. Best episode: Grand Chef Auto. Screentime: A tad too much. Development: 4/10. Favorite ship: None.



8. Staci - Blatant Lies
From this point on, Staci and everyone above her on this list are people I like and can tolerate. I know Staci gets major hate in the fandom for being annoying and being useless fodder with no personality, but I found her lines hilarious. Her lines in "Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!" were only like, two minutes maximum so if you combine those with the audition tapes, that's pretty much three minutes of screentime for Staci. You didn't have to tolerate her for that long people. Her one liners were hilarious, and her grating voice made it even funnier. At first I absolutely despised this girl, until I watched the audition tapes and one line of hers in particular caught my attention. "My whatever family relation invented plates. Before him food just sat around on the floor getting stepped on, so sad." and I laughed so much, because it totally fits her body type and I can totally relate to that. I rewatched her moments on the show and laughed at how ridiculous her lies were, and I chalked it to her being sheltered and not knowing the social norms of teenage life. I felt a little sorry for her, especially when the toxic marshmallow made her bald. Poor girl. Best episode: Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, by default. Screentime: Not enough, if they plan to develop her. Development: 2/10. Favorite ship: None.



7. Anne Maria - Jersey Shore Reject
I LOVE Anne Maria. I ship VitoxAnne Maria a hell lot more than I ship Zoke. Although, I ship everything more than Zoke. Her gimmick, her obsession with hair, the fact that her hair is pretty much steel, everything about this girl is hilarious. The way she acted by bribing Vito with kisses was pretty hilarious too. Overall, not a bad character. They eliminated her at the perfect time too, her gimmick could've gotten terrible fast if they didn't handle it right; but for the majority of the season it was handled very well. Too bad she left uselessly, that girl has some serious skill, especially when she's determined - thank you for letting us know, Jo. Zoey: "I'm too young to die!". Anne Maria: "And I'm too hot!". Best episode: Finders Creepers. Screentime: Perfect. Development: 6.5/10. Favorite ship: VitoxAnne Maria.



6. Jo - Nickname Tsar
Jo is a villain. I acknowledge that. At the same time, she is some of the best that ROTI has to offer. Her nicknames for everyone (string bean, jock strap, etc.) are some of the funniest lines in the season. Too bad she didn't make it very far in TDAS, she's an entertaining character who did a very good job of intimidating Cameron. Best episode: Up, Up And Away In My Pitiful Balloon. Screentime: A bit more would have been nice. Development: 7/10. Favorite ship: JoxBrick (too bad they didn't explore that further)



5. Scott - Farmboy
Let me explain the problem with Scott being a villain. He's not a good one. He's a tad smarter among a group of total morons. I guarantee you if he were in TDI dealing with the likes of Heather, Alejandro, Gwen, Courtney or Eva, he would not have survived a second. Not even in Pahkitew Island, especially not around smart girls Jasmine and Scarlett, athletic champions like Sky or even bad villains like Sugar. But nonetheless, he had some great moments in both seasons and his rivalry with Fang was hilarious, until they took it too far. I don't know what happened to him in TDAS, was it brain damage from Fang or him genuinely changing for the better, but he was bloody hilarious. Every episode Scott had something funny to say, a hilarious one liner which made me appreciate him a lot more, thus him being so high on this list. One thing TDAS did right. Best episode: The Obsta-Kill Course (yes, yes, I know, it's an All-Stars episode). Screentime: Just right. Development: 7/10. Favorite ship: ScottxDawn.



4. Cameron - Bubble Boy To Bubble Man
ROTI pumped out some pretty crappy characters, but among them were some decent characters, like the last four characters on this list. The first of them is Cameron. Cameron is a prime example of character development in ROTI. He started off weak, but soon made friends, became stronger, and eventually won. I thought his story was heartwarming and sweet, even more when he decided to share the money with the other contestants (even if I would have never ever ever ever done the same thing). Too bad he's weighed down by the Terrible Trio, or he could've easily scored #3 or #2 on this list. Best episode: A Mine Is A Terrible Thing To Waste. Screentime: Perfect, no more needed. He is complete. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: None.



3. Dakota - Riches To Monster
Ah, Dakota. Total Drama was totally unjustified to her. What did Dakota do to deserve becoming a toxic waste fueled monster?! What did she do? Throughout the season, Dakota learned the value of friendship and substance over looks, and how was she rewarded? By being turned into a monster. The only redeeming factor I can see from this is that Sam thinks she's hot. Hopefully her dad is so rich that he can afford some sort of extreme chemotherapy or something and fix her. Dakota would of course like the publicity being a monster gets her, so that's something. Anyway, Dakota's story was so heartwarming. I loved Sam's effect on this girl, and I do think she's an excellent character who got screwed over by scum like Chris and Zoey. Best wishes, Dakota. Best episode: Runaway Model. Screentime: More needed but without The Dakota Hulk. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: SamxDakota.



2. Brick - Noble Cadet
Brick is, put simply, an amazing person. I don't think anyone can argue with the fact that him saving the lives of the opposite team's contestants was brave and heroic, and way beyond the call of duty, just like the man himself. Even though he makes his funny derp faces and bent his arm in a way I found...disturbing, he has so many redeeming qualities that for once it's hard to focus on his bad parts. Good job, Brick and good job production crew, you guys totally nailed it with Brick. Best episode: A Mine Is a Terrible Thing To Waste. Screentime: More! He should have been on All-Stars instead of Sam. Development: 9/10. Favorite ship: JoxBrick



1. Dawn - The Enigma
Wow, Dawn is an amazing character. Something about her is just so comforting. I think it's her voice combined with her personality that makes her so mysterious. She can read auras, she knows people's pasts, and apparently she can tell the future as well. She's so kind to animals and every second she was on screen were great scenes. Too bad Scott screwed her over. She was the main cause of character development for the cast in general. Her label, "The Moon Child" makes her even more mysterious. They could've easily involved her in the Mike plot, or anything really. Best episode: Truth or Laser Shark. Screentime: Not nearly enough. Development: 9/10. Favorite ship: ScottxDawn.
