User blog:Iml908/Total Drama All-Stars: Scoring System

Now, Total Drama All Stars: Scoring System, the 5th and most controversial season.

Scoring Method
No significant changes in the rules
 * 2 points are added when a contestant or team wins an immunity challenge. (2)
 * 1 point is added when a contestant or team wins a reward challenge, and there are a lot more reward challenges this season. Alternatively, 1 point is added when a contestant has immunity, but did not win the challenge (this can be awarded through the producers or through an immunity idol). Normally it would be worth 2 points, but since in every occasion a contestant gets immunity this way they are in the bottom 2, it equals out to 1 point. (1)
 * 0 points are added when a contestant loses a challenge, but is declared safe during the elimination ceremony. (0)
 * 1 point is subtracted when a contestant is in the bottom 2 for an elimination ceremony. Alternatively, 1 point is subtracted when a contestant would have been eliminated, but isn't because that episode was a fake elimination challenge. (-1)
 * 2 points are subtracted when a contestant is eliminated. (-2)

Rankings

 * 1) Zoey, 12 points. The ultimate All-Star, even with her sudden strength coming out of nowhere. But, you can't deny having 3 individual wins makes her a more deserving winner than Mike.
 * 2) Alejandro, 8 points. This was surprising considering Alejandro was only 6th place. But it's the truth, though it seems it was more a case of luck considering he had the immunity idol giving him an extra point.
 * 3) Gwen, 7 points. Finally, after two somewhat good but not great runs, Gwen ends a season in the top 3 again. With Gwen once again being on the dominant team, plus never landing in the bottom and having an individual win, Gwen finally felt important again, even if her character was definitely ruined.
 * 4) Courtney, 6 points. Courtney continues to have a good run, despite once again being in the bottom two the first episode. Due to her switching teams this season, she was almost always winning, only not winning team challenges twice in total. Even if, unlike the last two seasons she was in, she didn't get any individual wins, she still ends the season with a good score.
 * 5) Scott, 5 points. I'm a bit surprised Scott is this high, because while he was great this season from a character standpoint, he was really filler-y. Outside of getting into a relationship with Courtney, he didn't do anything this season. Never won a challenge for his team, never landed in the bottom, he didn't do anything like the antagonist he was last season.
 * 6) Mike/Mal, 4 points. The first main antagonist (not including Justin) to not land in the top 4, and he really didn't even deserve to be this high. Mal existed only to cause chaos, but he also never won a challenge, so he was barely a threat. Mike was barely in this season as well, definitely not deserving of a final 2 spot.
 * 7) Sierra, 3 points. After a good run the first time around, she sorta ends up not doing all that well this time around. She just barely missed out on the merge, maybe she would have done better there. But as is stands, she was not all that good this time around.
 * Tie: Cameron, Duncan, Heather, and Sam, 2 points. A lot of oddities in this tie. Sam didn't really have all that high expectations going into this season, as he had a really bad score last time. Duncan has always been an average competing contestant given how low his scores have been. Then there's Cameron, who after a great showing last season, ends up failing this season. And lastly, Heather. After getting in the top 2 in each of the seasons she competed in, she ends up with a bad score this time around.
 * 1) Lightning, 0 points. Lightning continues to have not so spectacular runs, this time ending the season with 0 points, only because his team won the first challenge, then lost the next and was eliminated.
 * 2) Jo, -1 point. Not much to say with her. She was just kinda here this season to be eliminated.
 * 3) Lindsay, -2 points. Poor, poor Lindsay. This could have been her season. This SHOULD have been her season. She was the only contestant from the original cast to never make it to the final 4, so for her to not only miss out again, but also be the first contestant out, is heartbreaking.
