User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 5))/@comment-25297892-20141114194551

Uhm..let's start.

Sam in my opinion showed since TDROTI to be a character with short hopes to widen his role,I mean that besides his videogame obsession is the regular nerd in Owen's body:a couchbag.In a season called All Star he couldn't really do so much,however I agree with you it would have been better to at least give him purpose than pure fodder:I would have expanded the videogame moments soon after Mal broke his console.Imagine Sam living a Street Fighter moment in "Suckers Punched"!Yes,there was a slight potential for him to become the new TDA Harold that never would have expected to see in the spotlight,as a hero,against the evil and against every prediction!This didn't happen,maybe because the season was too short to "waste" time on ideas like this with the risk to give less screen to petwriters and "main characters"...move on.happened what happened,as of now none more want to see this character in the future.

Gwen,Gwen,Gwen,my first favourite ever that got so ruined since TDA...still have my respect,and I was really glad they made her ultimate redemption,but they did it in the most OOC way ever.Gwen has always used to be a goth tough as nails,unused to show her sentiments,but since the beginning of TDAS she acted as a shy doormat towards everyone,a token lamb in the Vultures,and victim of Courtney's ingratitude and Duncan's idiocy. While Courtney never appreciated the clear humiliating efforts of Gwen not even when she saved her from a certain Death, Duncan never understood how the goth felt inside.Sincerely,the only reason Gwen and Duncan formed a couple was for their common interests for darkness and horror,that's why I always hated this couple,maybe can fit for a superficial like Duncan,but Gwen is a very deep person inside.I can stand why she decided to break with Duncan: Gwen is dark,gothic,loves horror,acts as a renegade,but has also a conscience and above all she needs true affect.Duncan was all the time unable to look Beyond the appeareance,he encouraged Gwen to "join the evil side" ignoring the fact she had never aimed to become a bad girl,on the contrary,and the already painstacking condition and reputation she had gained before TDAS was more and more made worse by Duncan telling her to enjoy her condition...he really stomped her sentiments,and sorry,the fact he saved her the life isn't enough:sure there's gratitude,but can't be automatically the love.Trent treated Gwen as she was a good girlthe real thing actually a goth renegade as she's the stereothype of NEEDS,Duncan treated her as his "cool bad girl",the same he did with Courtney when she showed to be badass.But there's a bg difference between the two girls,and Duncan should pick only the only one that ENJOYS to be evil,not always but has no shame to accept it,and that girl is Courtney.
