Trust me, they are a big deal. These are common complaints that have played into the lower quality of the series. Island succeeded on avoiding at least a majority of these problems, hence why it's probably still considered by far the best. As for the spoilers, I've seen no other series spoil itself as much as Total Drama does. Granted, Total Drama isn't as big a household name as some of the others currently airing on the network, but that doesn't excuse it giving away like 50% of what's happening next before it even airs. And I don't know why we're being given such huge looks at the TDPI storyboards when the season is nowhere near ready for its debut. You're not supposed to give away the first elimination of the next season even if it may prove largely inconsequential.
