User blog:TheFanmellow/Total Drama Island: My Way

Island has always been a tough season for me to plan out. Having gone through various rewrites I feel as if I am never satisfied with the results. So I had an idea. For a lot of those old versions, I was really looking at the season as if to make it the perfect season with fitting eliminations and was against anything that did not fit. This time I am looking at what I want for the season and still make it make logical sense and not change the core season too much. This is my first blog so comments would be appreciated, and please don't be too mean.

So without further adieu let’s get started.

Episode 1 & 2
Notes:

The Gophers Jump first and Owen is the first to jump, this, in turn, compliments the fact that in my version Justin and Noah did not get points and still gives Owen his dramatic scene. Noah was a chicken and joined the coop and Justin missed in canon so I am not counting that point. Also, despite initially winning the first part of the challenge by having most of their team jump, the Bass lose due to their inability to work together as a team.

Ezekiel states how much of a failure his team is and especially points out Courtney as he says she is way too bossy and she should be voted off for being a failure. This statement backfires on him and offends his teammates. Bottom Two: Courtney and Ezekiel

Why Courtney?: Courtney was bossy and could not lead the team to victory, and she kept mentioning her being a CIT.

Why Ezekiel?: Ezekiel was too critical of his team and could not keep his mouth shut.

Eliminated: Ezekiel(22nd)

Comment: OK, let me justify this elimination. Ezekiel's biggest problem is that he can't keep his mouth shut whenever he wants to let something out in my version, and this would make sense because Chris said in the first episode of canon keep your mouth shut. This is also backed up by his canon elimination and what he said in his elimination in TDWT. Also, for me, Ezekiel's elimination didn't quite make sense because Duncan and Geoff who said just as or even more offensive things were not even on the bottom 4. So this works out better and makes Ezekiel more likable and innocent.

Episode 3
Notes:

Heather makes her alliance with Lindsay and Beth, and also Noah, though the bookworm is a bit cautious, and states in the confessional Heather could be an asset to help him get far, yet also dangerous. It's obvious from what I have heard that Noah had a scrapped plot with Heather, so I decided to reinstate that into the franchise.

Heather does not steal Eva’s mp3 player. To this day I think it was so rushed and forced to make Heather eliminate someone that early. Instead, Eva makes a huge rage when her team loses. Geoff and Bridgette are focused on more than Gwen and Trent in this episode. I thought Gwent was a bit rushed especially with Gwen's personality of not being social and the fact that I don't like the couple as much as others and it felt like screen hogging.

Bottom Two: Eva and Duncan

Why Duncan?: Duncan fell asleep on the can and cost his team the loss.

Why Eva:? Eva threw a giant fit when her team lost and was already scaring campers with her threatening attitude. A nice and easy foreshadowing of elimination. Much better than Heather's rushed mp3 player thief plot.

Eliminated: Eva(Xth)

Comment: The main problems in this episode were really Gwent and Heather being the main antagonist were screen hogging half the episode and came up way to suddenly and made me go like "well, we obviously know now what THIS episode is about". For me, no other episode is like this, and it is a shame the writers forced two of the most important plots in tyhe THIRD episode just to establish them early. I tried to fix this and you can decide if this is better than canon or not.

Episode 4
Notes:

Justin sits out all five rounds and states he does not want to damage his gorgeous looks. Noah admits in the confessional he is horrible at sports, almost passing out by throwing a ball. He eventually does participate because of Heather but bails big time on the court. Unlike Noah though, Justin refuses to participate and even says sports are for ugly people(no offense intended), angering his team even more.

Heather does not blurt out she has an alliance because then the alliance would not be secret. Instead, Noah tells Heather to calm down or she will be voted off, but Heather just storms off to find Lindsay and bring her back. The bottom 4 are Lindsay, Justin, Noah, and Heather.

Bottom Two: Noah and Justin

Why Justin?: Justin refused to participate and admired his looks. Why Noah?: Noah was really failing in the dodgeball court.

Eliminated: Justin(21st)

Comment: I think this was the best opportunity to show Justin’s full character from elimination, and I think out of the two, Noah has more potential, especially since I unscrapped his plot. Besides, Justin was not the best to make merge this season and I wanted to avoid everyone gawking over him in Not Quite Famous. Alright, we are down to the final 19. What predictions do you have?

TBC...
