User blog comment:TheDipDap1234/Total Drama All Stars Bottom 2 Eliminations In Reverse/@comment-30745906-20181109043735

Theories on eliminations and reasons for being in the final two. I did this for the earlier season blog entries a while back and might as well finish it. Inspired by another comment

1. Courtney still holds a grudge against Gwen for the events of World Tour. Her team is fed up with her attitude and votes her off. Courtney votes for Lindsay because she thinks she's an idiot.

2. Since Jo was a finalist in the reverse ROTI, she is seen as a threat and voted off. Jo votes for Lightning due to their rivalry.

3. Similarly, Heather is targeted and elimianted due to being a previous finalist. Lightning makes the bottom two again due to annoying his team with his obnoxious behavior. Duncan and Lindsay swap teams after Lindsay panics and uses Sam as a human shield and Duncan takes a blow for Gwen, though they still break up after he keeps talking about Courtney.

4. While Sam may have cost his team the win by saving the pancakes, Sierra's creepy behavior regarding being separated from Cody and using Cameron as a substitute, caused her to be eliminated instead of Sam.

5. After Cameron is moved to the villains team, Alejandro is voted off due to everyone being distrustful of him. Alejandro himself voted for Lightning, due to finding him annoying. Unbeknownst to everyone, Lightning found the immunity idol and, in a rare moment of intelligence, keeps it hidden on his person.

6. When the villains are allowed to eliminate a hero, they eliminate Sam due to his game withdrawl starting to concern them.

7. Duncan is arrested for blowing up Chris' mansion. Prior to his elimination, he tries to warn the others about Mal, who has been secretly causing trouble for several episodes. The only one who takes him seriously is Lightning, who overheard some of Mal's evil plans monologues while excersing.

8. Cameron is removed for injuries, just as in the original. Lightning continues to grow suspicious of Mal.

9. Mal, aware of Lightning's growing suspicions, continues to pretend to be Mike and convinces the others to vote Lightning off. However, at the elimination ceremony, Lightning reveals his immunity idol and, as a result, Lightning's votes means that Mal is eliminated. Mal has a villanous breakdown that reveals his true colors. Zoey's fear and distraughtness causes Mike to reemerge and he resolves to rid himself of Mal once and for all as he accepts his elimination.

10. Scott is voted off as most of the others distrust him or are put off by his habit of eating dirt. Scott voted for Lindsay because he views her as a potential threat.

11. Gwen is disqaulified for defacing Chris' portrait. Zoey wins the challenge and chooses to bring Lindsay to the finale as they became friends over the season, leaving Lightning to be eliminated.

12. In the finale, Zoey narrowly manages to prevail over Lindsay. Lindsay's helpers were Heather and Alejandro, while Zoey's helpers were Gwen and Mike, who got rid of Mal for good.
