User blog comment:The real MassTass/Poll: Is Bridgette All-Stars Worthy?/@comment-5231983-20170225160415

While it was a very tough decision, I decided to go with no. Bridgette is a very interesting character in the TD franchise. Not personality-wise (where she's rather straightforward), but performance wise. The only season where Bridgette actually does well is Total Drama Island, which is fine! A lot of contestants only did well in TDI! I'm sure that's how Gwen secured her spot as an All-Star, in fact. But the problem is, even in her most prominent season, Bridgette peaked at 10th place. Along with that, she didn't really accomplish anything noteworthy. Sure, she had nice plots with Geoff and Heather, but she never made any substantial strategic or dramatic decisions.

Moving onto other matters, there's her performance in Total Drama Action and World Tour. She didn't really do much in either, her downfall being caused because of a boy in both seasons. That's an issue because it makes Bridgette too unnoteworthy to actually be an All-Star. What does lean the odds somewhat in Bridgette's favor is that she has some amazing moments that blow the others completely out of the water; "I'm Sorry" or her plot with Bruno for example. But these are all out of the game (Aftermaths don't count as the actual competition), so I'm sure they weren't considered when picking All-Stars in and out of universe.

As for Bridgette as a character, I feel like she would too strongly resemble Zoey, a more prominent second generation contestant, rendering Bridgette somewhat pointless. Although I should say – Bridgette is perfect for a future main protagonist (and even finalist!), since I do think she has a lot of potential, and she is one of my favorite characters in the franchise to boot.
