User blog comment:TDWTfan1113/Do you like that TDAS being a half-season, or did you wish it were a full season?/@comment-24187037-20130628175633

What people need to realize is that Total Drama is based off of Survivor. In Survivor, for the most part, every season contains new competitors and every now and then people from the original cast return. What Total Drama did, because it is a cartoon, is bring back the characters from the original cast for 3 seasons straight because, and I believe I heard this before, it wasn't in the budget to have new characters. By Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, I'm assuming that they had enough money in the budget to finally bring in new characters, but only was able to order up 13 episodes instead of 26. They also said it would get to the point faster in 13 episodes than it would in 26, because with a 14 person cast, in TDA, it really dragged elimination wise. They finally have it in the budget to I guess create new characters and have new seasons. They did order for a 26 episode season, but I think it was just to have two seasons in one hehe I am looking forward to it. Their goal was at least 10 seasons and I for one am in love with the idea of seeing new people. Each cast will have something different.
