User blog comment:TheDipDap1234/Justin - a Good or a Bad Character?/@comment-27329394-20150821025955

He was so pointless in TDI that I don't even count it when I assess him.

But in TDA? He was one of my favorites alongside Duncan, Lindsay, and Harold that season. As I said in my ranking explainations, I didn't think he was a true antagonist, but that wasn't the point either. If he was, then Courtney wouldn't have just straight up stolen the role from him. Now, he did eliminate some contestants, but I think that was focus and confidence, not him actually being antagonistic, which is why you can see his effectiveness wane as the season went on, and also why I theorize why Alejandro next season had a similar strategy, but with different approaches.

A lot of people view him as an antagonist, which I understand, but I just don't view him in that light completely. I think a lot of that is due to TDDDI, but I'll be honest, I was not really that much of a fan of him in that episode. It might have been because it just seemed to easy for him there and it was a bit too over the top for me; we never saw it to that extent once we got to TDA.

Justin was a funny character too, which was particularly evident once Courtney came back. After he lost his confidence and bravado? He went full comic relief mode, and if you know me, you'll know I love me some comic relief characters since I think almost everything Total Drama related is funny. Him in Million Dollar Babies in particular was hysterical, but all the other post-Courtney episodes were great for him too. The best part is you could clearly see how he became that character. He didn't just suddenly become that character - you could see the progression in Full Metal Drama too.

Overall, Justin is one of the most unique characters on the show because of the situation he was in before he entered TDA and what happened to him during it. I really liked him as a result of everything I just mentioned.
