User:Raised By Wolves/First Generation Character Rankings

25. Ezekiel - The Homeschooled Accident
What the actual f were the producers of the show trying to pull with this kid. The fans said they wanted more screentime of this specific base breaker and look at the stunt they pulled. By which, of course, I mean Zombie/Feral Ezekiel. It's not funny, it was never a good joke by any means. Stop it already. Zombie Ezekiel made an appearance in nearly every season after World Tour and none of them have been entertaining. And yes, even him falling in love with Anne Maria. Stop it already, Teletoon. I feel bad for his parents. Total Drama is the worst thing to ever happen to this poor, innocent farm boy. I'm so glad we have decent Fanfiction writers who know how to develop a clean slate like Ezekiel. While on that positive note, I'd like to state that I loved how Ezekiel handled his elimination in TDI with dignity, accepting his fate. Best episode: Walk Like An Egyptian, Part 2. Screentime: Too little. Development: 1/10. Favorite ship: None.

24. Trent - The OCD Stalker Boy
Oh Trent. Trent, Trent, Trent. How we all loved him back in Season 1 when he was SANE and liked Gwen, and Gwen liked him back. In the good ol' TDI days when everyone shipped Gwent, when TDI had a happy ending for finale loser Gwen because she got the man of everyone's dreams. The guy who played the beautiful song in the Talent Show. And then, the producers decided he's too loved and then sent him on his downward spiral. Poor, sick little Trent. The first Aftermath really got it right, it truly was Trent's Descent. His creepy 9 obsession, which was never even mentioned in TDI. Stooping to Scott's level and betraying your team. Causing people to hate your ex-girlfriend, then going on to become what modern culture calls a f***boy. Sad little kid. Best episode: Not Quite Famous. Screentime: Good enough. Development: 6/10, but that isn't necessarily positive. Favorite ship: Gwent, post TDA, TrentxSadie.

23. Justin - The Not So Pretty Pretty Boy I never found Justin that good looking. He's the only character with proper eyes woww let's praise him and worship him and make a fat guy supposedly have a crush on him. No. It's not that he's ugly that I don't like him either. There's tons of contestants I don't find that good looking who I absolutely adore, Sierra for example. He's also a failed villain. I hate failed villains, unless they do it RIGHT! By which I mean, they have to be funny. Sure, Heather and Alejandro weren't funny (all the time) but they were bosses. This guy literally wanted someone gone because she thought he wasn't good looking. That's stupid. Not to mention, in TDA he was eliminated in the 3rd worst episode, The Princess Pride. Best episode: The Big Sleep. Screentime: Too much. Development: 7/10. Favorite ship: JustinxKatie.

22. Duncan - He's From Juvie And You're Not Allowed To Forget
Ah, Duncan. Where do I even begin? He's every fangirl's dream, and everyone else's annoyance. I'll admit, in the TDI days, Duncan was a pretty cool bad boy, I'd even go as far to admit that I liked him. But his attention should've stopped there. Duncan always makes it to the merge. He always ranks way too high. He ranked #4, #2, #5 and #8 in each of the seasons he was in. I'm pretty sure TDAS only made the merge in that episode so Duncan could make it to the merge before they dumped him. He's CAUSED character derailment, and I'm damn sure he's a terrible influence on Courtney. Whenever he's around, Courtney suddenly goes into b**** mode. Think about it. TDA Courtney. Post-I See London Courtney. This girl can't catch a break, until she becomes a nice sweet competitive girl (until the dreaded Sundae Muddy Sundae) in TDAS. He even causes derailment in Gwen. You wanna blame Gwen for the kiss? Don't. Who was the one who barged into the confessional and didn't leave? Who pulled Gwen into the kiss? Exactly. This guy is a major screenhog and should not be a loved character. He's not a good person. Best episode: Basic Straining. Screentime: Way too much. Development: 7.5/10. Favorite Ship: DuncanxCourtney, unless Courtney goes ballistic around him.

21. Geoff - The Surfer Dude Who Floats Through RR On His Surfboard
Now, Geoff's okay. I personally found him annoying in Ridonculous Race, especially since he basically got a free ticket to the finale. But as a character in TD, he was pretty darn good. He brought out some major development in Gwen, bringing out her party side, but sadly never got much development himself beyond a party dude. The Aftermath shows largely made up for this, making him Captain Hollywood, which I LOVED, then him regretting it, forgiving Bridgette for her cheating, and of course his rage at Blaineley which was super entertaining. From this point on, everyone on this list is people I can stand. Before Geoff are the people I just dislike. Would I go to Geoff's parties? Hell yes. Would I be best friends with him? No. Best episode: Up The Creek. Screentime: Just right. Development: 9/10. Favorite ship: GeoffxBridgette.

20. Bridgette - The Soulful Surfer Girl
Don't get me wrong, I do like Bridgette. She's funny, cute, nice, and a great, well balanced character. There are just other characters I liked more than her. I love how she is an animal lover, among many other things about her. It's just that it's hard to write a lot about her personality. I could rant on and on forever about annoying people like Duncan, or persuade you to love Courtney for the same amount of time, but there's just not much to say about Bridgette, but you can be sure I'd definitely be her friend. One thing that bugs me is how some fans turn her into a Purity Sue. No. Best episode: Brunch of Disgustingness. Screentime: Just right. Development: 9/10. Favorite ship: GeoffxBridgette.

19. Owen - Farting, Partying, Floating Machine
Yes, please don't kill me for keeping Owen all the way up in 19. I know people think he's a floater, and he is. Let me just describe the problems with Owen. First of all, he's kind of one note. Almost all his jokes are set around farting or eating, or some variation of that. People treat him like he's a trash can, always eating, because that's literally how he acts. You can't blame them. Next problem is that he gets way too much screentime. He won Total Drama Island against all odds, and I'm not saying that in a good way. He was a floater. He never won a challenge for himself, and I can guarantee that if he pissed off Heather in any way, he'd be gone in an instant. He's the CREATOR'S PET FOR GOD'S SAKE! Everyone already knew there was no way he was winning Total Drama Action, and yet he still scored #3 instead of Lindsay or Harold. Finally, in World Tour the producers responded to Owen's horridness and gave him some real development in the form of Noah and Izzy. I felt super sorry for the guy when his girlfriend broke up with him and just left. Oh My Izzy was a super touching song. And of course, his episode with Blaineley. Adorable. He still scores #8, but whatever. At least he didn't get in All-Stars. Oh wait, except he had a zillion cameos that no one cared for. Best episode: Jamaica Me Sweat. Screentime: Screenhog level. Development: 9/10. Favorite ship: OwenxBlaineley.

18. DJ - Mama's Boy
I like DJ. He's tough, he's soft, he's cool. He's funny. And of course, all this only applies to TDI and TDA. And on top of that, he's a strong jock that can (probably) take down a bear, and yet he cries for his mama. At first it's cute. I'm a bit of a mama's boy myself, so I can relate to him. I loved how in TDA, he had a secret alliance with Chef and in the end, he learned to stand up to Chef and went home with more confidence. It was a good plot. But in World Tour, all that changed. He became strictly wimpy, straight up Diary of a Wimpy Kid spin off and DJ's the main character. Get a grip Teletoon. Best episode: Hook, Line & Screamer. Screentime: A little too much, mostly because of WT. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: DJxElla (I know it's not common but I like it)

17. Alejandro - Spanish Ass-Pull Specialist
Alejandro, main villain of Total Drama World Tour. I don't hate him, but he does bug me sometimes. I always bang my head against the wall thinking about how Ezekiel is infamous for being a sexist jerk, when Alejandro rode through the whole season womanizing like 4 different girls. I'm just glad he got what he deserved, even if that robot scene was a little disturbing. But who ever thought Heather would find love in a hopeless place? What really bugs me about Alejandro is how he randomly pulls skills out of his ass. It doesn't work that way. He's apparently the skateboard champion something something in South America and a juggler and a skilled balancer and he has an IQ of 160 or something, he is a literal Villain Sue. Although, I'm pretty sure Alejandro was Teletoon's second try at making a male villain, and the first was the failed experiment we know as Justin. In TDAS, they messed up pretty much everything, Alejandro included. He spent the majority of his time on the season doing a hand stand so whatever. Best episode: Planes, Trains & Hot Air Mobiles. Screentime: Just right. Developement: What development?. Favorite ship: AlejandroxHeather.

16. Harold - Mad Skills
I love Harold! He's hilarious. I hated him in TDI, since he got Courtney voted off unfairly, which is why he's really low on the list. But he really redeemed himself in TDA. He put up with all of Duncan's crap, which is much more than I would have been able to handle. Good job, Harold! I appreciated the fact that Teletoon gave him attention in TDA and redeemed a character who only got negative attention. His crush on LeShawna is the cutest thing ever, and when he sacrificed himself in World Tour to regain his team's honor in front of LeShawna, my respect for him rose up. He also figured out that Owen was a spy, he's pretty darn smart! I also love the reference to Napoleon Dynamite. Don't think we didn't notice, Teletoon! Best episode: Get a Clue. Screentime: Could use a bit more. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: HaroldxLeShawna.

15. Beth - Rose Above The Wannabe Status
Beth, the most underappreciated finalist ever, is a good person. She's the only final #4 person in TDA that didn't have some kind of help - Owen had Chris, Courtney had Godplay, and Duncan had riding on Courtney's coattails. Beth is a self-made, hard-working friendly girl who got to where she is through hard work and determination. The reason she's not higher is because of her lack of a dynamic personality. She did have some funny lines, and she's cute in her own dorky way! Best episode: Top Dog. Screentime: No more, no less. Development: 9/10. Favorite ship: BethxBrady.

14. Katie - More Than The Sweet Girl
Sadly, Katie never got too much screentime and was only used as fodder. They really should have added her in TDA, but sadly it was a missed opportunity. They had another chance to add her in TDWT, along with the other base breakers, but another missed opportunity. They had a huge opportunity to put her with Sadie in the Ridonculous Race, beyond missed opportunity. Shows how much they care. Even though this is fanon, I think Katie could've been vastly developed had they explored her interests, her shallow personality, and her being separated from Sadie. I mean, come on, Haute Campture had shown them so much. Her argument with Sadie in The Sucky Outdoors was hilarious too. Best episode: The Sucky Outdoors. Screentime: Way too little. Development: 3/10. Favorite ship: KatiexJustin

13. Sadie - More Than a Fat White Katie
Sadie is just so cute. The reason she's above Katie on the list is because of her design. Her not getting any attention after Katie was eliminated was a huge missed opportunity. I mean, I get that she was fodder but please, cut down on Duncan time and show us some Sadie! I hate how Sadie is the only person without a label, being "The Sweet Girl's Friend" which is ironic seeing as how she got farther than Katie. Best episode: The Sucky Outdoors. Screentime: Not nearly enough. Development: 3/10. Favorite ship: SadiexTrent.

12. Blaineley - Hilarious Talk Show Host
I thought it was ridiculous that they were adding Blaineley in World Tour when I first saw it, until she actually came on the show. Her lines were the best, and her rivalry with Heather was beyond funny. The way she "seduced" Chef into forming an alliance was too good. Sad that she only lasted two episodes. I loved her time on the Aftermath show too, and I never understood the fandom's Blaineley hate. She's interesting and funny. And I would have loved to see Blaineley as the host of World Tour. Too bad she's so forgetable. Best episode: Niagara Brawls. Screentime: Just right. Development: 7/10. Favorite ship: OwenxBlaineley.

11. Cody - Geeky Floater
Cody was okay in TDI, and for some reason he became a fangirl beloved character, and Sierra was created specifically to parody these psychotic fangirls. But in WT Cody became a bombing base breaker, oh man do I love this kid. You could really see him mature through the show from a creepy little perv to someone who values the feelings of someone who likes him, someone who has the will to win. It was subtle but trust me it was there. Unfortunately, he's considered a floater in TDWT thanks to Sierra being so good at the game. But he did win a few challenges for Amazon and helped substantially. Like in Japan, everyone was fighting but he made that commercial. In Greece's Pieces, he stayed loyal to Gwen and won the tiebreaker. In The Ex-Files, he sacrificed his candy (which we know he loves) to help his team win. I'm not saying he's underrated, because I'm sure as hell he's not, but maybe a bit less hate on him being a floater would be nice. And you know what else? Cody was creepy to Gwen but Sierra was straight up mental. Best episode: Super Crazy Happy Fun Time Japan. Screentime: Just right. Development: 9/10. Favorite Ship: CodyxSierra.

10. Eva - Tough As Nails
Eva has no screentime. She was only a contestant for like 3 episodes lol. When she returned in No Pain No Game, I, like everyone else, was horrified. But after thinking about it, Eva was damn good in TDI. "Here's a toe-tag, surfer girl. You'll be needing it for later.", what kind of TD girl is this tough? She may be crazy but she's also hilarious and cool. Jo can never replace her. Best episode: No Pain No Game. Screentime: Not nearly enough. Development: 2/10. Favorite ship: None.

9. Sierra - Stalker Reflecting Real Life
Yeah, don't even pretend that you can't relate to Sierra. We've all been there, be it a crush on a cute celebrity, making blogs for TV shows you like, fangirling/fanboying; we've all been there. How many of you have the guts to admit the fandom stuff you do on the Internet IN REAL LIFE? Sierra does, and boy does she tell it like it is! She knows everything about Total Drama, and she makes all us TD buffs a little jealous - not only does she know everything, but she got to be on the show! Her development involving Cody was brilliant, from typical otaku-ish crazy stalker to settling for Cody being her best friend. I think eventually they do hook up, evidenced by All-Stars. I felt so bad for her in Awwwwwww, Drumheller when the plane exploded. Her voice actor is also brilliant, and the way she treated Heather in Drumheller was alone her best moments. Best episode: Awwwwww, Drumheller!. Screentime; Perfect. Development: 8/10. Favorite ship: SierraxCody.

8. Izzy - The Wild Card
Oh Izzy, whenever she's on screen, I can tell you that scene will not be boring. Izzy's so unpredictable and she has all these different alter-egos...one for each season! In TDI she's got E-Scope, in TDA she's got Explosivo, and World Tour has my favourite Izzy alter-ego: Brainzilla. OH MAI GAWD I can never have enough Izzy. I felt bad for her when Owen betrayed her in Hook, Line & Screamer, but I'm glad they're back together now. It's so crazy how the RCMP is actually chasing her, and you never know what she's up to, but be sure of one thing - it's going to be comedic. Her cameo in ROTI was the second best cameo of the season (next to Lindsay's). Her rivalry with Chef is THE BEST THING IN TDI EVER. Best episode: Hide and Be Sneaky, if only for the DBZ Parody fight she has with Chef. Screentime: Never enough!! Development: 5/10. Favorite ship: OwenxIzzy.

7. LeShawna - Independent and Fabulous
LeShawna was one of the most beloved characters in TDI, and less liked in TDA. I never understood the hate. The way she screwed up in TDA - by backstabbing her friends - was very in-character for someone sassy and opulent like LeShawna. A lifestyle like the kind she had that night - rich and fancy - would lead anyone to talking about people like that. There are many instances where the characters mess up, which is normal, but this is one of the few times it's actually been really good and in-character. Brilliant work. Sadly, she was derailed in World Tour due to Alejandro. I was hoping she could redeem herself, but sadly it never happened. Best episode: One Flu Over the Cuckoos. Screentime: Could use a tad more. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: HaroldxLeShawna.

6. Gwen - Goth With Some Extra Layers
Aww Gwen! I get this urge for her to just wrap her in a blanket, cuddle with her and tell her everything's going to be okay. This girl has suffered so much, it's hard to believe she's still sane. Heather made her go through so much. One boyfriend went psycho crazy over her, and the other cheated on his current girlfriend for her, and then still like the ex-girlfriend. Poor girl. I just wish she'd have one season, ONE season where she wouldn't suffer so much. Best episode: I Triple Dog Dare You. Screentime: I don't know what to say. Development: 9/10. Favorite ship: Gwent

5. Noah - Sarcastic Bookworm
I think this guy is at the top of everyone's lists. What's not to love? Noah was already amazing in TDI despite his tiny time on the show, but Haute Camp-ture showed us that Noah's more than we think. In Total Drama World Tour, he broke all the charts, he became the BASE BREAKER BREAKER. He's just that good. His one liners are the best thing about World Tour, and he was the heart of my favorite episode I See London. I was beyond happy to find out that he was in Ridonculous Race. It was so heartwarming when they gave Noah the girl of his dreams, and really gave him some epic character development. However, I See London was sad, I didn't want to see him go. He had so much potential as a character, since we could hold his own ground and stand up to Alejandro. Best episode: I See London. Screentime: Similar to Izzy, it will never be enough. Development: 9/10. Favourite ship: NoahxEmma.

4. Courtney - Striving Hard, Shot Down By Teletoon
Okay, here's someone that the network just hates. Every time Courtney finally becomes her own character, someone everyone can love, they do something to shoot her heart and make it black. What was the point of developing her so much in Basic Straining if they were just going to make her a b**** in TDA? What was the point of making her friendship with Gwen perfect and nice TWICE NOT ONCE F***ING TWICE if they were going to throw it away twice?! I feel bad for her. She's suffered more than anyone on this show except Ezekiel and MAYBE Gwen. In TDI, no one liked her. She was socially challenged and I can relate! But we could feel her character developing. Like in Phobia Factor when she told everyone to stop making fun of Tyler. But then she was unfairly voted off, without any explanation, right when she thought everyone liked her. How would YOU feel if the people you thought were your friends just decided to get rid of you?! In TDWT, she became friends with someone she thought she could never be friends with and then that person betrays you and kisses your boyfriend?! And not only that, her own boyfriend, who she loved and dated for at least a year, cheated on her. I don't blame her for being angry. Episodes like Oceans Eight or Nine, Million Dollar Babies, Greece's Pieces, The Ex-Files and Sundae Muddy Sundae, ESPECIALLY THE GODFORSAKEN SUNDAE MUDDY SUNDAE ruin her so much, and as much as I want to like her, TD makes it difficult. I wanted to cry when I saw the Sundae Muddy Sundae exclusive clip when the sharks vomit on her. Poor girl. If you still think she's a b**** who should die, then please question your morality, because the show makes this girl sink lower and lower. This is not how characters should be treated. To me, she's come a long way from a stick in the mud anti-social perfectionist to someone who's nice, caring and still a little competitive, because that is her nature. I mean, she took the whole blame for her team not having a commercial in Japan. Best episode: I See London. Screentime: You know what? Enough. As much as I want more Courtney, knowing Teletoon they'll make her even lower. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: I can't even.

3. Tyler - Adorable Jock I love Tyler, simply put. I love him. I thought nothing of him back in the TDI days, but in TDWT he made a huge comeback and he's just one of the most epic people on the show now. You could say he doesn't have much development and I'd have to disagree - watch TDWT! He started out as a clumsy jock, but now we know so much about him - he's hilariously dim, he has super strong fingers, and best of all: He's the most faithful guy in TD to his girlfriend. Seriously, this guy is awesome. The other TD guys should strive to be as loyal as Tyler. If they make another season, I genuinely hope he's in it. Best episode: The Am-AH-zon Race. Screentime: Much more needed. Development: 8/10. Favorite ship: LindsayxTyler.

2. Heather - The Original Total Drama Villain
To me, Heather will always be the original. No one can take her place. For some reason, her punishment - her head getting shaved - was so much more satisfying than Alejandro or Scott's karma, I have no idea why, until I read further into it: It was Lindsay's dare, after all. Lindsay always said Heather's best feature was her hair. And guess who caused Heather's downfall, but Lindsay. Beautiful. After that, in TDA, Heather got the same ranking that she caused Lindsay to get in TDI - #9. In TDWT though, she got some real development from vicious villain to Anti-Hero, and the climax of her development in World Tour was where it all happened. Heather is, and always will be, the greatest Total Drama villain of all time. She's always been so devious and unpredictable! Best episode: Search and Do Not Destroy. Screentime: Perfect. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: AlejandroxHeather

1. Lindsay - Everyone's Favorite Ditz
I adore Lindsay. I always have. In TDI, she had the most badass moment ever in That's Off the Chain!, then in TDA they gave her so much character development only to kick her out in favor of Owen in Rock 'N' Rule. She's smarter than we think. She's clever, beautiful, faithful, nice, even if she is stupid she's a good friend and loving girlfriend. I feel ashamed to say she's one of the people who were kicked off first among travesties like Beardo and Ezekiel, but whatever. TDAS was not friendly to Lindsay, reducing her to a doorknob's brains. I'm so glad she left early though, because I do not want Lindsay to be suffering the TDAS treatment. I do wish she had won TDAS, because think about it, why do Heather and Beth get their seasons but not Lindsay? Anyway, I hope she's okay, relaxing with Tyler somewhere nice instead of melting in a stupid fart balloon. Best episode: Get a Clue. Screentime: Absolutely perfect. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: Lyler.

13. Zoey - Indie Chick? Where?
Let me make this clear. You do not find your one true love the first five minutes you've known him. What I don't understand is how the creators go from making meaningful moral stories about how romance isn't perfect through Gwen to making s*** stories like the one they made for MikexZoey. Believe me, I hate Mike with a passion, but there's a reason Zoey is all the way down here. She has Trent Syndrome, that is to say she has no personality and exists only to be with Mike, to revolve around Mike, to be Mike's personal servant and sacrifice her ENTIRE LIFE for Mike. I'm a male, but I'm also a firm believer in women's rights and I'm one of those non-crazy feminists myself. Seeing women portrayed as talking about only their significant other and making their life revolve around them is stupid, sexist and unrealistic. And so is their relationship. Literally five minutes into the show: "Mike the sweetest guy ever", like honey you've known the noodle boy for hardly 3 minutes don't be so quick. This is why America has so many divorces. Among other reasons too...but this is one too...Anyway, in TDAS, Zoey, among pretty much everyone, got way worse. She godplayed. Where did those skills come from?! She got to the finals and it was stupid. Next, there's her label. HOW IS SHE AN INDIE CHICK?! What possibly qualifies her to be an Indie Chick?! She claims she has no friends, and later in Grand Chef Auto she claims she loves oddballs, but what happens when Dawn tries to be her friend? She rejects her. What happens when Dakotazoid tries to be Zoey's friend? Zoey VOTES HER OFF DESPITE THE FACT THAT DAKOTA SAVED HER UNGRATEFUL EXISTENCE LIKE 3 TIMES IN THAT ONE EPISODE. Zoey is an ungrateful worthless person and an excuse of a contestant for this show. Last thing to say, in ROTI she was bad but not horrendous. In TDAS she got a billion times worse. THREE people told her about Mal, count it, THREE people, Alejandro, Duncan and Scott, and she didn't believe any of them, no, nothing could be wrong with her perfect little Mike. And lastly (for real this time), something that really bugged me in ROTI Episode 4, Finders Creepers: Anne Maria and Vito's makeout session. I didn't mind it, Anne MariaxVito is pretty cute actually, it's what Zoey said. She acted like she's entitled to Mike, saying that he's supposed to like her. Um, honey, no. That's not how it works. Rant over. I will say one good thing, and it's that Zoey got at least a little character development in ROTI from being a shy, antisocial girl who needs everyone's approval, to being confident and "Commando Zoey". Best episode: Eat, Puke And Be Wary. Screentime: Too much with Mike, not enough on her own. Development: 5/10. Favorite ship: None. Especially not Zoke.

12. Mike - Multiple Personality Vomit
Hey Zoey! Guess what, I put your perfect little Mike up here with you on this list! Let's begin. Mike was annoying in ROTI. His ONLY trait was that he's basically Trent in TDI. They gave so much attention to his alter-egos (which I'll admit made me laugh sometimes. Yes, Chester, I'm talking about you. No, not you Svetlana. You're a girl in a dude's body. You're weird), that they didn't have time to give attention to the real Mike. Instead of Mike having a personality and Zoey being his follower as usual, they did something worse: made both of them revolve around each other. No. No. No, no, no, no. That's not how it works. Since we're talking about Mike here, let's go ahead and talk about the worst villain in TD history. Yes, even worse than Justin. Mal. Mal is an abomination, an insult to Total Drama. How do we go from brilliant villains like Heather and Alejandro to crap like Mal?! He never DID anything except try to kill people. How did he get Chris' mansion to fall on Gwen with those noodle arms of his?! WHY did he break people's stuff?! For the evulz? Okay, next thing: I'll buy that Beth was cursed. I'll give in that toxic waste caused mutation. But I, for the life of me, will never buy this crap that there are Chris' cameras INSIDE MIKE'S HEAD. It's illogical. I thought this was a parody of Survivor not Inception. God. Anyway, Mal's defeat was the worst most lame thing ever. Mike FOUGHT with his non-evil personalities, but for the one that's actually evil he has to push a button? Lame. They really couldn't think of anything. And of course, at the end, he becomes a Mary Sue. So shocking. Every time this guy took a deep breath, I thought to myself "Oh brother, this again.". I was actually happy when Scott (God bless you Scott) had him voted off. Best episode: Grand Chef Auto, because HE LEFT IN IT. Screentime: Too f***ing much. Development: 0/10. Favorite ship: VitoxAnne Maria.

11. Sam - Seth Rogen As A Gamer
I get it. You want to pay homage to a great Canadian actor that is Seth Rogen. But, Teletoon, of course you needed a bad gimmick to match. Why not make him a gamer? It's perfect! No, it's not. Being a gamer myself, I have a personal grudge against Sam because honestly gamers are not like that in real life. We're normal people! The only difference between us and non-gamers is that at the end of a long, hard day instead of reading a book or watching a movie, we just want to sit down and make our Pikachu use Thunderbolt on some stupid wild Pokemon. Our whole lives don't revolve around video games, and we certainly wouldn't take our new Nintendo 3DS to TOTAL DRAMA. And despite what we want to believe, no, I don't think Call of Duty will ever help me in life, but I think it's a fun game and I'll play it anyway. Also, not enough Internet message board reference on this guy. They literally made him so they could give the moral to not be shallow because DakotaxSam. I'll admit, it's a good moral and I can certainly relate. Sam was basically a tool for character development on Dakota. Also, what is up with that weird thumb thing when Sam couldn't play video games? That's never happened to me before, or anyone I know. Best episode: Runaway Model. Screentime: Moderate. Development: 3/10. Favorite ship: DakotaxSam.

10. B - Silent And Not Really Deadly
Yeah, I love B, and I really mean it. He's cool and an awesome, swell guy, but I can't keep loving him when he doesn't say a word and when he refused to speak even when he could've been eliminated. What is up with that? I really liked B because he was so smart, but in all honesty he was just fodder to show how manipulative Scott was and to save money on a VA. I sympathized with him at first, but I can't keep taking his side. Come on Teletoon. Best episode: Truth or Laser Shark. Screentime: Not enough. Development: 1/10. Favorite ship: BxDawn, to an extent.

9. Lightning - Shabam!

Weird villain. Antagonized Cameron for no apparent reason other than Cameron winning immunity. It's his own fault for not touching the pole before Cameron's head did. When TDAS brought him back, they did two things right: Made him funny again and kept his time short. He made it to the finals, there was no reason for him to make it so far again. Best episode: Grand Chef Auto. Screentime: A tad too much. Development: 4/10. Favorite ship: None.

8. Staci - Blatant Lies
From this point on, Staci and everyone above her on this list are people I like and can tolerate. I know Staci gets major hate in the fandom for being annoying and being useless fodder with no personality, but I found her lines hilarious. Her lines in "Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!" were only like, two minutes maximum so if you combine those with the audition tapes, that's pretty much three minutes of screentime for Staci. You didn't have to tolerate her for that long people. Her one liners were hilarious, and her grating voice made it even funnier. At first I absolutely despised this girl, until I watched the audition tapes and one line of hers in particular caught my attention. "My whatever family relation invented plates. Before him food just sat around on the floor getting stepped on, so sad." and I laughed so much, because it totally fits her body type and I can totally relate to that. I rewatched her moments on the show and laughed at how ridiculous her lies were, and I chalked it to her being sheltered and not knowing the social norms of teenage life. I felt a little sorry for her, especially when the toxic marshmallow made her bald. Poor girl. Best episode: Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, by default. Screentime: Not enough, if they plan to develop her. Development: 2/10. Favorite ship: None.

7. Anne Maria - Jersey Shore Reject
I LOVE Anne Maria. I ship VitoxAnne Maria a hell lot more than I ship Zoke. Although, I ship everything more than Zoke. Her gimmick, her obsession with hair, the fact that her hair is pretty much steel, everything about this girl is hilarious. The way she acted by bribing Vito with kisses was pretty hilarious too. Overall, not a bad character. They eliminated her at the perfect time too, her gimmick could've gotten terrible fast if they didn't handle it right; but for the majority of the season it was handled very well. Too bad she left uselessly, that girl has some serious skill, especially when she's determined - thank you for letting us know, Jo. Zoey: "I'm too young to die!". Anne Maria: "And I'm too hot!". Best episode: Finders Creepers. Screentime: Perfect. Development: 6.5/10. Favorite ship: VitoxAnne Maria.

6. Jo - Nickname Tsar
Jo is a villain. I acknowledge that. At the same time, she is some of the best that ROTI has to offer. Her nicknames for everyone (string bean, jock strap, etc.) are some of the funniest lines in the season. Too bad she didn't make it very far in TDAS, she's an entertaining character who did a very good job of intimidating Cameron. Best episode: Up, Up And Away In My Pitiful Balloon. Screentime: A bit more would have been nice. Development: 7/10. Favorite ship: JoxBrick (too bad they didn't explore that further)

5. Scott - Farmboy
Let me explain the problem with Scott being a villain. He's not a good one. He's a tad smarter among a group of total morons. I guarantee you if he were in TDI dealing with the likes of Heather, Alejandro, Gwen, Courtney or Eva, he would not have survived a second. Not even in Pahkitew Island, especially not around smart girls Jasmine and Scarlett, athletic champions like Sky or even bad villains like Sugar. But nonetheless, he had some great moments in both seasons and his rivalry with Fang was hilarious, until they took it too far. I don't know what happened to him in TDAS, was it brain damage from Fang or him genuinely changing for the better, but he was bloody hilarious. Every episode Scott had something funny to say, a hilarious one liner which made me appreciate him a lot more, thus him being so high on this list. One thing TDAS did right. Best episode: The Obsta-Kill Course (yes, yes, I know, it's an All-Stars episode). Screentime: Just right. Development: 7/10. Favorite ship: ScottxDawn.

4. Cameron - Bubble Boy To Bubble Man
ROTI pumped out some pretty crappy characters, but among them were some decent characters, like the last four characters on this list. The first of them is Cameron. Cameron is a prime example of character development in ROTI. He started off weak, but soon made friends, became stronger, and eventually won. I thought his story was heartwarming and sweet, even more when he decided to share the money with the other contestants (even if I would have never ever ever ever done the same thing). Too bad he's weighed down by the Terrible Trio, or he could've easily scored #3 or #2 on this list. Best episode: A Mine Is A Terrible Thing To Waste. Screentime: Perfect, no more needed. He is complete. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: None.

3. Dakota - Riches To Monster
Ah, Dakota. Total Drama was totally unjustified to her. What did Dakota do to deserve becoming a toxic waste fueled monster?! What did she do? Throughout the season, Dakota learned the value of friendship and substance over looks, and how was she rewarded? By being turned into a monster. The only redeeming factor I can see from this is that Sam thinks she's hot. Hopefully her dad is so rich that he can afford some sort of extreme chemotherapy or something and fix her. Dakota would of course like the publicity being a monster gets her, so that's something. Anyway, Dakota's story was so heartwarming. I loved Sam's effect on this girl, and I do think she's an excellent character who got screwed over by scum like Chris and Zoey. Best wishes, Dakota. Best episode: Runaway Model. Screentime: More needed but without The Dakota Hulk. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: SamxDakota.

2. Brick - Noble Cadet
Brick is, put simply, an amazing person. I don't think anyone can argue with the fact that him saving the lives of the opposite team's contestants was brave and heroic, and way beyond the call of duty, just like the man himself. Even though he makes his funny derp faces and bent his arm in a way I found...disturbing, he has so many redeeming qualities that for once it's hard to focus on his bad parts. Good job, Brick and good job production crew, you guys totally nailed it with Brick. Best episode: A Mine Is a Terrible Thing To Waste. Screentime: More! He should have been on All-Stars instead of Sam. Development: 9/10. Favorite ship: JoxBrick

1. Dawn - The Enigma
Wow, Dawn is an amazing character. Something about her is just so comforting. I think it's her voice combined with her personality that makes her so mysterious. She can read auras, she knows people's pasts, and apparently she can tell the future as well. She's so kind to animals and every second she was on screen were great scenes. Too bad Scott screwed her over. She was the main cause of character development for the cast in general. Her label, "The Moon Child" makes her even more mysterious. They could've easily involved her in the Mike plot, or anything really. Best episode: Truth or Laser Shark. Screentime: Not nearly enough. Development: 9/10. Favorite ship: ScottxDawn.

14. Beardo - The Glorified Jukebox
Beardo sucks. He does nothing for the entire episode and pretty much costs his team the win along with Leonard. I'm not even going to keep talking about him because he's not worth the time. Best episode: I would say none, but by default it's "So, Uh, This Is My Team?". Screentime: Too much and I don't want any more. Development: 2/10, only because he shows that he's shy. Favorite ship: None.

13. Leonard - A Disgrace To LARPers
I stated earlier in my review for Sam that I am a gamer. However, I am not, and never intend on being, a LARPer. It's not that I find it silly and childish it's just that...well, actually that's pretty much it. Leonard is annoying and useless and cost his team the win twice. He's always voted off in the second episode. His legacy is long forgotten except to Sugar, except no one cares. Best episode: So, Uh, This Is My Team?. Screentime: TOO MUCH GET HIS FACE AWAY FROM ME. Development: 0/10. Favorite ship: LeonardxSugar.

12. Amy - The Evil Twin
Here's one thing Pahkitew Island did right, and it's that they eliminated a bunch of annoying people straight off the bat, coincidentally the same order of people I hate. Amy's awful, and she has no redeeming qualities. She's terrible Samey, she's mean, repulsive, horrible, and she humiliates people for no reason, especially her poor sister Samey. She totally had the manchineel fruit coming, especially after what she did to Samey. SHE CHANGED SAMEY'S NAME WTF! SHE WANTED SAMEY TO DIE IN EPISODE 1!! Anyway, she's just straight up awful, and if she is in another season I'd like her to be redeemed. Best episode: A Blast From The Past. Screentime: Not enough. Development: 2/10. Favorite ship: AmyxMax (for the lulz)

11. Sugar - Honey Boo Boo
We get it. Sugar is a weird genderbent Owen. Thank you for that, Teletoon. Not only is she a genderbender of Owen but she also gets super far in the game against all odds wow. The likeness is uncanny. She godplays weirdly in Mo Monkey Mo Problems. She gets one of my favorite characters, Ella, eliminated for no reason other than Ella wanting to be friends with her, and it's justified by saying that it's because of Sugar's pageant upbringing. However, like almost all sucky characters, she does have her moments. "Choo Choo! I'm a bus!" had me laughing for a long time. And I don't care what you say, Craptry was catchy! And Sky's right, Sugar does manage to see the positive light of a lot of things...except Ella. Best episode: This Is The Pits! Screentime: More than enough. Development: 6/10. Favorite ship: SugarxLeonard.

10. Rodney - Just Discovered Women
Has Rodney actually never met a girl in his life before? Because that's how it seems. All he does for the whole season is babble on and on and continues to fall in love with Scarlett, Amy and Jasmine. Although I'll admit, he's not a swine who objectifies women, like some people *cough*Dave*cough*. Best episode: I Love You, I Love You Knots. Screentime: Please, Teletoon, don't give him more. Development: 5/10. Favorite ship: None.

9. Dave - Germaphobic Womanizer
Ugh. So many problems with Dave. Although I'll start by saying this is the last person that I can't stand. Everyone AFTER Dave are people I liked (and yes the liked list begins after I've burned through pretty much half the cast). The reason Dave is the highest on my don't like pile is because for the majority of the season Dave entertained well and became a good base breaker. I thought he could get some real development and he did until they gave him some major derailment. My most major problem with Dave is that he stereotypes men. He acts like he's entitled to Sky just because he likes her. I'd like to go to Dave, smack his face and tell him that he's not entitled to anyone, he doesn't own Sky and he needs to stop acting like he's the sexiest guy on the planet. Guess what Dave, IT'S YOUR FAULT FOR NOT LETTING SKY FINISH HER SENTENCE. Because of him, people actually don't like Sky. I don't even blame Sky, but I'll get to that later. Why did Dave go psycho crazy in the finale?! No one knows. For some reason, every season has some character that the creators just love to destroy. Ezekiel, Dakota and now Dave. Best episode: I Love You, I Love You Knots. Screentime: ugh. Development: 7/10 before they derailed him. Favorite ship: None, maybe DavexElla.

8. Topher - Pretty Boy Gets Screwed Over
I like Topher more than the average fan, because he has some darn funny lines. "Bring something nice." "I'll bring my FACE!", God this guy is too good. And I'll admit yes he is good looking. Quite good looking actually. His antics throughout the season were pretty funny too, I mean I knew he was never actually going to replace Chris but watching him try was decent entertainment. My only problem with him is that he never interacts with anyone but Chris much. Sad. Although I do hope he returns in a future season. Best episode: Mo Monkey Mo Problems. Screentime: I want more of that face he'll bring. Development: 6/10. Favorite ship: TopherxSamey.

7. Samey - The Good Twin
I feel good for Samey. She got a lot of character development and even a friend in Jasmine. She went from being a weak, submissive second banana to Amy to becoming a cool, confident girl who can stand up to her hellspawn sister. Their fight was very satisfying to me, especially when Samey fought back and insulted her sister - excellent, as Noah would put it. There are a lot of sibling rivalries out there, and I'm sure people can relate to this one. I hope this gives bullied siblings the confidence to stand up to their bad older siblings. I hope I get to see more of Samey, or should I say...Sammy. Best episode: A Blast From The Past. Screentime: Too less. Development: 9/10. Favorite ship: TopherxSamey

6. Shawn - One Dimensional Zombie Freak
For most of the season, Shawn was pretty much just obsessed with zombies and was very one-note. Then, come "A Blast From The Past" and Shawn gets some balls rolling on his character development with his feelings for Jasmine, showing him that zombies aren't the only thing in life. What I wonder is, what kind of teenager is like this anyway? Are his parents even around? My parents would've slapped me and sent me to therapy sessions if I acted like Shawn. Anyway, he's pretty solid all around later on, so that's cool. JasminexShawn is a good ship. Best episode: Scarlett Fever. Screentime: Moderate. Development: 6.5/10. Favorite Ship: JasminexShawn.

5. Sky - Hated Athlete
Sky's hated for bad reasons, being that she rejected Dave. Can you blame her? First of all, I think it says a lot about Sky's character that she has a boyfriend back home, but really likes Dave and still refuses to date him. She's definitely loyal, maybe if Dave had waited for her to finish the sentence things could've gone better for the kid. Sky does not deserve the hate. Sure, she kissed Dave in the finale but let's face it, we all would have done the same thing. You can't expect her to be perfect. Dave was just extra weight and Jasmine is much more competent than Dave - Shawn already had the upper hand even if Dave was willing to work. I love how determined Sky is, and she's really pretty too lol. She kinda looks like Gwen. And no, she is not a copy of Zoey. She's her own, independent, dynamic character. Best episode: Scarlett Fever. Screentime: Good. Development: 9/10. Favorite Ship: None

4. Ella - The Lovely Snow White Expy
Ella's meant to be a Disney parody for sure, but I found her very charming and cute. The way she was eliminated was really unfair, especially since her singing helped her team on multiple occasions. And excuse me Chris if you don't like music so much WHY DID YOU MAKE AN ENTIRE SEASON BASED AROUND SINGING?! Ella is definitely one of my favorite characters on Total Drama Pakhitew Island, but she's outclassed by better, more interesting characters overall. I sympathized with her when she failed to become friends with Sugar. Best episode: Mo Monkey Mo Problems. Screentime: More would have been nice. Development: 7/10. Favorite ship: DavexElla

3. Jasmine - The Australian Stereotype
Jasmine's pretty cool. I'm glad they took the time to actually make a character that's not from Canada. I really loved Jasmine's accent, excellent VA. Jasmine had some great plots and she was an awesome character overall. This cast has a problem, and it's that the villains are very one-dimensional. I don't blame them, after all I'm comparing them to the cast which had 4 seasons for themselves, but that's beside the point. Jasmine is dynamic, fully fleshed out character which I like. Her relationship with Shawn was explored with a depth that didn't make it seems milked out and old, however their conflict in the finale was rather boring. Still, it wasn't bad. Best episode: Three Zones And A Baby. Screentime: Very good. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: JasminexShawn

2. Max - The Failed Supervillain
Max is a failed villain, but what separates him from the likes of Justin is that he's HILARIOUS! One of my favorite lines of his is him addressing Sky: "You're in my seat. Gone with you.". He talks and acts like a villain and yet he's comically incompetent, which is just amazing. He's a very unique character, and I mean that in a good way. Unfortunately he's also unrealistic. His adoration with babies is also too cute. His design is somewhat...weird. It's shallow that a lot of people hate him for it. Of course I loved the myriad of times he referred to Scarlett as his sidekick, and I could listen to Max talk funny all day long. Dang...I sound like Sugar. I'll stop now. Best episode: Scarlett Fever (yes I know I've used this one a lot). Screentime: Perfect, loved every scene he was in. Development: 5/10. Favorite ship: None.

1. Scarlett - The Smartest Of Them All
Scarlett delivered what is my 3rd favorite episode of all of Total Drama, Scarlett Fever. It's a very hate-it-or-love-it episode and you can be sure I LOVE IT. On to Scarlett as a character. Scarlett was a hilarious character. I loved how she would say something super smart and then have to dumb it down. Her best line before Scarlett Fever was "Samey's been pretending to be Amy the whole time. I thought we all knew that.", because dayuuuuum that girl is smart and that was unexpected. And here's something Total Drama did differently: surprise us. Of course they do that a lot, but usually it just has to do with eliminations. This time it was a plot twist that had to do with the actual plot of the episode. I did NOT expect Scarlett to be evil! Her conversation with Chris over the monitor was the best, and Scarlett Fever had me hooked the whole time, there was so much going on and it felt like an extra-long episode. It was so shocking. It would be awesome to see Scarlett return again, if only to see how that would turn out. Best episode: Isn't it obvious? Scarlett Fever! Screentime: Not too much, which was good because it helped hide the secret. Development: 10/10. Favorite ship: None.

6. Chris - The Host With The Most Sadism
What is with this guy? Why does he like watching teenagers get hurt? It's like he's some sort of bondage loving creep. He has no personality other than the fact that he's a sadist and he's rich. That's it. I'll admit, in TDI he wasn't even that bad, but in TDROTI, oh boy, he took some serious hits in the sadism department. He reached a peak of horrendous-ness in TDAS, I wanted to yell at him. You can actually track his sadism through what happens to him at the end of each season. In TDI, he wasn't that bad so all they did was throw him and Chef in the lake. In TDA, he got worse, but still nothing bad happened to him - they aired some embarrassing clips of him in the finale which showed that his hair is actually a wig (cue fangirls fading) and showed him naked (cue fangirls squeeing). In TDWT, his beloved Jumbo Jet with all of his stuff inside was destroyed by Sierra. In ROTI, he was arrested, since that's when he started to get really bad. In TDAS, when he became extra sadistic with a side of masochism, his beloved island sunk, and earlier in the season his home was blown up. In TDPI, his punishment came a little early, which was that Scarlett pretty much destroyed Pahkitew Island. Not that bad but don't forget that Chris wasn't so bad in this season, at least not TDROTI/TDAS bad. Best episode: Mutiny On The Soundstage. Screentime: A lot...? Idk, he's the host, so... Favorite ship: none lol because "Chef isn't really Chris' type" - Sierra.

5. Bridgette - The Only Nice TV Host
Overall, I'm not really feeling Bridgette as a host. But by all means she's still a million times better than Cruel Chris, and she did make for some decent viewing in the World Tour aftermaths. Also, when TDA announced the beginning of the Aftermaths, I wasn't really interested until I found out one of my favorite characters, Bridgette, was going to be hosting! I'm glad that, since the writers obviously used up Geoff and Bridgette, they gave the two a new role instead of pushing them to the sidelines like Katie, Sadie, Eva and Ezekiel. Best episode: Aftermath I: Bridgette Over Troubled Waters. Favorite ship: GeoffxBridgette

4. Don - When You Hear His Name, You Think of Dawn
It's not that Don is a bad host. That's not why he's #4 on this list instead of higher. I actually found him pretty funny ("Jeez, what are they giving thanks for?!" - Don on Icelandic Thanksgiving). It's just that he hasn't gotten much screentime, so if Ridonculous Race gets a sequel he may be higher on this list (but I doubt it). Of course they tried to make a host who was good looking like Chris and they crammed it down our throats by giving him a tiny swimsuit scene and like two or three scenes with him in the nude. Best episode: Hello and Dubai. Favorite ship: None.

3. Geoff - Have No Fear, Captain Hollywood Is Here!
Geoff was great as a contestant in TDI, but even better as an Aftermath show host in TDA/TDWT! His whole Captain Hollywood phase in TDA was an excellent, dramatic addition to his relationship with Bridgette, and of course to TDA Aftermaths in general. His attitude and animosity toward Blaineley in TDWT was hilarious, especially when it came to Bridgette and his unrequited love for her lips on his. The way he finally empties out all his revenge on Blaineley in Aftermath III was beyond funny, I had to replay "Her Real Name Isn't Blaineley" two times to actually hear it, because it was too dang funny! Best episode: Aftermath III: After Mayhem. Favorite ship: GeoffxBridgette

2. Blaineley - Vicious and Blainerific
Back in Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, we didn't think much of Blaineley or Josh. And we didn't give them a single thought...until Aftermath I: Bridgette Over Troubled Waters rolled around. Most people hate her for one reason or the other, but I never hated her - she's hilarious! She constantly talks like a TV talk show host, which is very unique, and the twist in which she entered the game was also unexpected. Too bad she was eliminated after only two episodes. I'd say she was fodder, but not really - she tied with Courtney. I guess you could make her sound like she's good at the game by saying "She got to the final 6" lol. Don't forget she also gave us one of World Tour's most catchy songs - Blainerific! Best episode: Aftermath II: Revenge of the Telethon. Favorite ship: BlaineleyxOwen

1. Chef Hatchet - Chris' Partner In Crime
Ah, Chef Hatchet. I always loved challenges where Chef was involved - Basic Straining, Hide and Be Sneaky, Are We There Yeti, Grand Chef Auto, Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan...he makes the show better. His voice actor is excellent by the way. His laugh MAKES me laugh! The things they reveal about him trying to make him mysterious make him just wayyy better. Even in moments where he doesn't say anything - he just reacts, even those moments are to die for, like in Brunch of Disgustingness when everyone's throwing up and it cuts to Chef holding a mop and looking left and right going "FML...", too funny. My favorite Chef moment overall is in Hide and Be Sneaky when he and Izzy have that fight and he goes chasing Izzy. You can also see him start to respect some of the contestants (Gwen in Basic Straining and LeShawna in Hide and Be Sneaky), and his rivalry with Izzy never gets old (and they don't intend on it getting old - see the end of Finders Creepers). Best episode: Hide and Be Sneaky. Screentime: Not enough! Favorite ship: Ew none lol
