I forgot about Izzy never being eliminated, though I think she was probably going to get voted off.

Owen getting third place being about as bad as the final 3 of TDAS? I can't really disagree with that, though the journey was not as exhausting as it was with All Stars. It became very obvious that with Total Drama Action, they were throwing things on the wall to see what would stick.

They shouldn't have made Courtney win that many consecutive challenges in a row. It only became obvious that when she did not win, she would be on the chopping block. And looking in hindsight, she was not even the greatest antagonist, so a lot of her time could have been used to plot for survival to see how good she really was.

It would have been nice if that plot was done in the first half, only for it to fizzle out. And then maybe they would have done something new in All-Stars. Duncan's return definitely was either planned from the very beginning, or was demanded by excutive meddling, since he was one of their favourite characters.

The later returns just got worse and worse.

Thanks.
