User:Fedora Kid/First Generation Rankings

Character Rankings
From least to favorite.

22nd: Courtney - She's a spoiled, whiny, selfish, poor-sported, loud, obnoxious, sue-happy, cheating, egotistical, overreacting brat! She did NOT deserve to come back to Total Drama Action, let alone by cheating her way into the season! It's her fault that Owen got eliminated from the show, BOTH times! She does not deserve to be in Total Drama World Tour, either! However, if she does actually stop being such an annoying, whining, cheating brat, and is actually nice again like she was in the very first episode, then I might start to like her again.

21st: Justin - He should've remained silent. Not only did he become an antagonist in Total Drama Action, but he was a bad one! And not Heather-bad, but bad-bad, as in he doesn't know how to be an antagonist! He rarely did anything truly evil in Total Drama Action (besides causing Gwen and Trent's break-up, and getting Izzy voted off in "Full Metal Drama"). All he did was manipulate Lindsay and Beth and take off his shirt all the time.

20th: LeShawna - I really don't see why she has so many fans. She's sassy, and, frankly, I'm a little sick of her always referring to everyone else as "White boy/girl;" it's somewhat racist.

19th/18th: Katie and Sadie - They can be somewhat funny when they're together, but when they're separated, they become pathetic characters. Sadie after "The Sucky Outdoors" is living proof of that. After her BFF's eliminiation, she had no lines - ABSOLUTELY no lines at all - in "Up The Creek," "Paintball Deer Hunter," and "If You Can't Take The Heat..." Besides, when they're together, the sounds they make somewhat resemble communicating dolphins. However, I do express my sympathies to all fans of these two girls (or, in rarer cases, just one of the girls); I mean, these two were both eliminated early in Total Drama Island, weren't in Total Drama Action, and right now, there's absolutely no sign of them AT ALL in Total Drama World Tour? I know how bad THAT must feel. So all Katie/Sadie fans, Katie fans, or Sadie fans, just hang in there, because there is always season four, right?

17th: Beth - She's just plain weird, and personally, I just don't think she belonged in Total Drama Action. Despite being the runner-up, she hasn't really had any major character development in the whole season (outside of the whole Brady thing).

16th: DJ- He's seriously a boring character. He often has no lines, and it's slightly pathetic how he's the tallest, and should be one of the toughest campers of them all, and yet he's afraid of Heather shaving her legs (...but then again, can you really blame him?) But again, not too interesting overall.

15th: Duncan - I don't really hate him, I just think he's seriously overrated. He has way too many fans (particularly those of the whole Duncan/Courtney pairing), and he's made it too far in both seasons: final four in Total Drama Island and WINNER in Total Drama Action? Talk about overstaying your welcome! But I do favor him over Beth.

14th: Trent - He's OK. I never really paid attention to him up until the Gwen/Trent break-up issue. I'm totally on Team Trent, but that's the only reason he doesn't rank any lower on this list.

13th: Eva - I do admit that she should have more screen-time in the season, but her temper problem is basically asking to be kicked off early. And, like with the Katie and Sadie fans, I do feel sorry for Eva fans, too; so far, she hasn't fared any better in the show than Katie and Sadie.

12th: Harold - Yes, Harold has moved down on my list as of Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2. He was originally my 6th favorite character, but my opinion of him has gone down severely with Total Drama World Tour. He's been acting like a know-it-all, and was a total jerk to Zeke in the aforementioned episode. I mean, seriously! Insulting him nonstop for his one little mistake...which you told him to do in the first place, if I recall correctly! Kicking him when he's down is bad enough, but stamping his passport three times for no reason is just beyond cruel. It was a clash between two of my favorite characters, and Harold lost. He continued to act like a jerk and a know-it-all in Japan, which almost got them killed, and I was very glad to see him go.

11th: Bridgette - Like Noah, Zeke, and Izzy, she was a pretty empty character during her short run on TDWT. The only significant plotline with her lasted for only one episode, and she was used as a pawn at her expense. She wasn't as interesting or lovable as she once was, and like I said, nothing really significant or different happened with her. So, sadly, she's moved down.

10th: Izzy - She can be pretty funnny. And I am definitely a fan of the Owen/Izzy relationship! But she was one of the "empty" characters; she had no major plot or significance this season, and mainly was used for comic relief. But then again, maybe this is more fitting for her and her personality. Maybe she wasn't meant to have a significant role...Who knows?

9th: Gwen - First, she was towards the top of the list among my top favorites. Then she moves almost straight to the bottom for her evil act towards Trent. Now, her she is once more, back where she belongs: At the top. And why? For several reasons. A: Her rivalry with Courtney made me choose between which of the two I like better. Naturally, I chose Gwen, and was rooting for her all the way. Then, she redeems herself for breaking Trent's heart by hooking up with the one other guy she was most meant for: Duncan. Their relationship is perfect, and they are very compatible for each other. I loved how she rarely faltered in her belief that their relationship was a good one. She didn't give Courtney a second glance during the drama following their kiss and their official hook-up, and when she did falter, she almost instantly recovered and remained true to Duncan, all while sticking it to Courtney even to the bitter-sweet end. I vowed that she'd move way up if she hooked up with Duncan without serious doubt. And now, one new hook-up and 9 places later, she has.

8th: Tyler - He could become more developed over the course of Total Drama World Tour, but they're gonna have to dig deep; he's pretty dull (although he has some hilarious facial expressions!). And I really like the Tyler/Lindsay relationship mainly because they seem like the best match, as oppose to all those mismatches, such as Duncan/Courtney and Harold/LeShawna.

7th: Geoff - He was a really funny and great character up until he and Bridgette hooked up. Then his character became ridiculous. Although making him a semi-antagonist with Total Drama Action Aftermath is a nice touch. I'm a little upset that he's not in Total Drama World Tour, but I guess it was the only way to separate him and Bridgette.

6th: Lindsay - Her dimwittness makes for many a great joke.

5th Noah - My opinion on him has gone way up since Total Drama World Tour started! He now has an abundance of lines in each episode, and to me, not a single line of his isn't funny or sarcastic. I love his one-liners, in addition to his always-monotone voice, and he continues to be a source of non-stop laughter, especially with his cynical unique brand of humor. Even if he doesn't have a real significant storyline, I think his time was good while it lasted.

4th: Owen - He was originally my top favorite character in the show, up until I eventually became an Ezekiel fan! I still root for him, and believe that he should've won Total Drama Action (he deserved the money since Chef ripped up his $100,000 check). His elimination at the hands of Courtney was totally unfair, and I was so excited when he came back! I was glad that he at least lasted longer than Courtney (even if it was for about a minute), and Chris should just give him the $50,000 he promised him! Owen needs that money, man! People say that he is overused by the series, and I kind of agree...but what do you expect? He's practically the main character of the series. And, fortunately, just when the fart jokes were getting old, they bring in their back-up: His aerophobia! I love all of his aerophobia moments, and think that they're even more hilarious than all the farting/burping!

3rd: Heather - The fact that everyone else hates her makes me want to like her! I think she makes a great antagonist! What she has that Justin and Courtney lack is that she knows how to work the game. She schemes and plans things out, she at least plays fair and square, and at least she admits to being evil! Justin just likes to have girls do his dirty work, and Courtney cheats her way into everything.

2nd: Cody - I can relate to him so much because I'm a geek, somewhat like him. He's hilarious, and Heather should've gone instead of him. He is the one character I wanted to qualify for Total Drama Action the most (along with Ezekiel). I'll bet you that the only reason he didn't is because Peter Oldring wasn't working on the show at that time. And he is definitely going to make it far in Total Drama World Tour!

1st: Ezekiel - He has the most potential out of any character on the show! He's the only Canadian contestant for one. He can speak over eight different languages (and Total Drama World Tour is the perfect chance for him to capitalize on that). He could easily make for a fan-favorite in Total Drama World Tour! I'm just hoping that he does return soon and doesn't spend the whole season hiding in the cargo hold

Non-Contestant Rankings
4th: Blaineley - She wasn't that interesting in the TDA special, but the first TDWT Aftermath made me hate her with a fiery passion. She's worse than Chef, Chris, and TDA Geoff combined!

3rd: Chris McLean - His cynicism and narcissist attitude was hilarious in TDI, but it was way too overused in TDA, sadly.

2nd: Chef Hatchet - I think he has his good moments, especially when he's in charge and angrier than ever. But I think the joke of him cross-dressing is getting old and very disturbing.

1st: Josh - I think he's hilarious! His love for catfights is one that I share as well, and I think he's much more entertaining than Blaineley. I'd like to see him host the show for one episode.

Couple Rankings
From least to favorite.

7th: Duncan/Courtney - Cliche. Overrated. Pointless. This is the reason that "Basic Straining" is one of my least favorite episodes of Total Drama Island. And Total Drama Action sure didn't help, either. At that point, all that Courtney did was kick Duncan where it counts. That's the only reason that I feel sympathy for Duncan in this whole thing. That, and when he finally stood up for himself in "Top Dog." Seeing him learn how to take care of himself and vote her off was one of the best moments in Total Drama history! I was SO glad when that couple broke up, but I was enraged when they got back together. It just shows how pathetic Duncan really is, if one little kiss (not to mention through a disgusting, slimy, ink-covered face) was enough to convince him to get back together with a psycho, AND split a million bucks with her!

6th: Trent/Gwen - It was OK at first; a nice love story, with them being able to make ammends and forgive each other for past mistakes. It was a great source of drama, heartbreak, and forgiveness. But even so, it has a history of instances where Trent is blamed for things that go wrong, when they aren't even his fault! For example, when Heather kissed him in "Search and Do Not Destroy," HE gets voted off! And now Gwen thinks that, just because he has a lucky number, he's automatically "weird." Poor guy.

5th: Harold/LeShawna - A serious mismatch. It barely had two episodes when it was actually a couple, and then, after that, it became a completely one-sided relationship.

4th: Geoff/Bridgette - It was okay at first, but when they got to the point where they became absolutely obsessed with each other, and barely came up for air while they were kissing, it became ridiculous.

3rd: Owen/Izzy - Hilarious couple! I swear, I never saw their epic hook-up (and subsequent temporary break-up) in "Hook, Line, and Screamer." It was awesome! I also like the whole idea of it always being on/off, on/off, on/off, over and over again! Sometimes, you have to wonder if they're actually a couple! And I also think that's it tragic how, just as they were becoming an official couple once again, and probably for good, Justin gets Izzy voted off again in "Full Metal Drama." Yep; just another reason for me to hate Mr. Male Model even more. I can't wait to see how their relationship advances in Total Drama World Tour!

2nd: Tyler/Lindsay - You've got to love the only couple whose members were separated by seasons. But this did make for good humor with Lindsay continuously forgetting that he's not even there! And actually, I think that the very fact that they're not competing in the season is what saved their relationship. I mean, almost every other couple has broken up because of this season (except for Owen and Izzy). I can't wait to see them both return in Total Drama World Tour!

1st: Duncan/Gwen - I always knew they'd make a great couple. Ever since I saw their first one-on-one interaction in Are We There Yeti?, I knew that they were made for each other. I loved when the idea of them hooking up was first brought up in TDA, and only even more strongly hinted throughout TDWT. LOVED their first kiss and all of the drama surrounding it. I loved to see that both were firm in their beliefs, particularly Duncan, who stood strong against Courtney and remained true and loyal to Gwen. I was devastated by Gwen's elimination, but loved to see her stick it to Courtney just before she left, and WHILE she was leaving. That says it all right there.

Season Rankings
3rd: TDA - It wasn't that entertaining. Sure the movie genre idea was nice, but overall, it didn't have much good humor in it. It's kind of hard for me to describe many other reasons why I dislike it...I guess because it featured so many couples breaking up, which was good at first, but got ridiculous over time. It definitely went downhill after you-know-who came into the contest. I guess the main reason, though, is because it started the whole new tradition of excluding certain characters from the game, which was a mistake in my opinion. Another main reason that kind of connects to the last one is the fact that, with this season, they brought back all the characters who have already gotten enough character development over the course of TDI! They say that they did what the fans wanted, and brought back those who would make the best drama...but they failed to see that bringing back the "unpopular" underdogs, especially those in need of redemption (such as Zeke, Noah, and Eva), could've made for just as much drama, no, way more drama, than Beth rambling on and on about her boyfriend.

2nd: TDWT - The whole season's pretty much been laid out for us through spoilers, so I'll say it now: The season seemed awesome at first, but it ultimately failed to meet my expectations. Yes, the globetrotting was nice, but probably the best part. The musical motif was good at first, but pretty early on, Chris must've forgotten his threat that whoever didn't sing was automatically out. And a song with only four people really isn't that good. The characters: It was awesome to see four of our favorite underdogs back, but apparently, the writers were too stupid to see the potential gold mine of plots and character development right in front of them. The four underdogs were on-camera a lot, but most of their appearances were empty; mainly one-time jokes and physical farce, especially with Noah and Zeke. Those two had nothing more than good funny moments, but were physically abused to no end. Neither got a real story line, and both were the first kicked off their teams...again. XP Although Zeke becoming the "Where's Waldo?" of the season was a nice touch that I enjoyed very well. Tyler and Cody got somewhat developed, but for the most part, their respective plots had to have someone else with them in order for it to work. For Cody, it was his obvious problem with Sierra, which got really old really fast. For Tyler, it was his attempts at getting Lindsay to notice him. When that finally was resolved, it lasted less than thirty seconds and wasn't referred to again for the rest of the episode. And then, in true Total Drama style, Lindsay was kicked off two episodes later. Sigh. However, I was overjoyed when he finally got his own, dramatic plot due to his involvement in the Love Triangle. Finally he has an important role, which, to me, was a major boost to his character. And best of all; it wasn't the cause of his elimination. The other major thing that made me love this season was that they FINALLY introduced some new romantic relationships to the show. And not just one, but TWO. And not just two new relationships, but two AWESOME new ones, both of which I fully support. I think that Gwen and Duncan and Alejandro and Heather were made for each other, respectively. You can see my reasons for supporting DG in my "Couple Rankings" section. I'll write my opinion on AH once they officially hook up.

1st: TDI - Nothing beats the original. And there's also the fact that it featured all 22 contestants, rather than the other two seasons.

TBA: TDR - They're finally going to bring in more than ten new characters, most of which look much better than the last two. And there's no doubt that they'll still salvage some of the original twenty-two contestants before they're gone forever. This may be the last season of Total Drama, but will it be the best? There's only one way to find out.
