Well to be fair, the reason why Zoke is hated is the same reason why their fans like them. They come off as being the "perfect couple" just destined to be together, and everything about them is all happy-sappy. A lot of them are unable to (or refuse to) look past that and see Mike's insult to mental disorders, and Zoey godplaying her way through the season. TDPI probably was needed to tip the fans on the verge of quitting back the other way. It might not have made the things in TDAS forgivable, but it shows the show is still capable of making something decent. But the premise of the show is simply too good and memorable, for the fans to give up after one ill-gotten season. But yeah, I don't think they want to risk a repeat of the backlash they got from TDAS.

I think I can guess the answer to that. The show's still targeted ata fairly young audience, and that's where Zoke is popular. Though looking back at Zoke, it feels like one of those flashy commercials for candy or toys, which are designed to suck kids in with it's presentation and exciting music, even though the product itself is of questionable quality. When I saw Mike was returning, I had already guessed this would be his season, which he didn't get as much focus in ROTI, but I didn't think they would go as far as to make it a complete Zoke-oriented season. They treated every other character as plot devices just to further the most hated ship in the show. Final Retchening is my venom as well, after seeing how offensive that episode was. While SMS, is also very low for me, and what Ed did cannot be overlooked. But yeah, Bold and the Bootyful really enraged me, and is the worst episode for me at the moment, followed closely by Finale Retchening. I think Gwen got in even worse than Courtney did, while people were enjoying Courtney's supposed development, Gwen was already disgusting others with her girly-girl personality. Then along comes that piece of crap to remove any traces of her former fan-favorite status. I don't care if others are going to call me a critic that's full of negative opinions, I'm going to keep educating others on why those episodes are bad and shouldn't be enjoyed.

True, I know most of it is probably warranted. Though I'm still trying not to direct any excessively harsh criticism at particular writers. I've stopped openly stating wishes for anyone to be fired or anything.

One reason probably was the episodes that followed didn't have any involvement from Laurie Elliot (other than The Obsta-Kill Kourse, which was okay). Those episodes just had "who cares" painted all over it, maybe there was a more appealing show elsewhere so they just wanted to get this one out of the way ASAP. The Unholy Trinity will forever remain as the black stain on the series, I just hope there won't be any more additions to the Hall of Dishonor.

Though they're not airing it at the moment. I think I'll wait until I find out anymore plans of airing it to inform them.

Okay, I'll bring that up alongside my progress over here.

Ugh, the Flush. The whole freaking season should've just been renamed "Total Drama: Toilet Humor". I know the show always had a bit of that gross humor present, with the Outhouse Confessional, but that was supposed to be a parody of what's actually present on Summer Camps. It's so stupid that it got escalated to the point where Toilet Humor became a central plot in the show. By all means go ahead, that elimination method was always beyond my level of understanding.

Yeah, Courtney and Scott just don't click. Most of the original and ROTI cast interactions made little sense, esp. Gwen and the trio. Only Alejandro and Jo's interactions seemed to work. If she blew off Duncan, it makes no sense to fall for Dirt Boy who's even worse than Duncan ever was. Yeah, there has never been Villain Decay as spectacular as his. They never seem to have gotten that "redeeming a villain" thing right since Heather in TDWT.

LOL, that is so true. What he did really could have been interpreted as indecent implications to children.

Scamy is quite similar to Scourtney, only that's how the girl always was. And didn't have to have her personality kicked around the spectrum before settling for his garbage. Amy had a thing going with Rodney (one-sided), so she could have had something with Scott since they're so similar.

No it's not too much to ask. A character with Courtney's complexity and popularity certainly deserves to be treated better. Maybe they felt they had screwed Courtney around so much, that continuing to do so with her would lessen the damage, than if they spread it someone else? Although they passed the character screwing to everyone in TDAS anyway. I won't diss the people who do enjoy her villain status, but the one little hint of a darker Courtney in TDI got taken too far in subsequent seasons. She's already had her phase as the Big Bad, and it wasn't received well, so there's no need to keep on milking that dead cow. I'll be happy to see Courtney return to her TDI/early-TDWT personality. She's best when she's a mix of bossy, and caring. But as of late the balance keeps on being upset with her. Absolutely, no excuse to just plummet a character to rock-bottom after they were at their very best in a long time. Regardless of the character, writer's should never include bias and favoritism.

Yeah, that would explain a lot.

I think I'll go add those to YMMV page for Total Drama. They really seem suitable to be there.
