But "insulting viewer's intelligence" isn't anything new to Total Drama. There were instances in every season that didn't make much sense. Look at Leshawna's elimination in TDI, you can't say that Jasmine's elimination is more BS than that. The reason they're doing this, is plot. They need to keep characters with more potential for interesting storylines in the game. Just like in TDI, Heather had more purpose at that point than Izzy, Geoff and Leshawna combined.

Oh, and another thing that was always there - Chris could care less about cheating.
