Do I feel the villains should reap what they sow? Yes, absolutely. However, I feel as if Total Drama has warped our view on the karma deserved, because while Alejandro and Scott did not deserve to win, they did not deserve to be put in comas and turned into robots. Villains do deserve their karma because they are being ruthless and jerks. Don't get me wrong, if I was ever in a game like this I would try to make alliances and strategize and take out threats, but you can do so without being so blatantly mean. I don't care if your supposed to play the game and doing what they do is doing it well, that's an opinion I've seen thrown around quite a bit and it honestly bothers me. The old saying of the point is not whether you win or lose, its how you play the game is completely true. If you have lied, backstabbed, been obnoxious, and generally contempt to the people around you, you do not deserve a million dollars, period.

UNLESS, they change. Villains can win and do not need to have a sensible (not maulings) karma if they realize what they did was wrong and they reform. The fact of the matter is, Heather, Duncan, and ect. may be entertaing, but are not good people and the writers could realalistically develop them into becoming nice and realizing their mistakes. I'm not saying they need to become DJ's and Beth's, But a cartoon aimed at a younger auidience (and that includes teenagers), should not have jerks who bully and manipulate win, it sets up a bad message and can confuse some.

But that's what I personally think and who cares. ;P
