User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 4)/@comment-27588345-20141030221457/@comment-1037137-20141030235625

It's beyond godawful. A season this misguided and this badly written should never have aired, and I fully believe it should be non-canon. I hope later continuity ignores it almost entirely, because this was a major insult to the entire show and fandom. Not to mention having some of the worst humor and worst editing I've ever seen in a series.

Oh no, those two desperately need redemption, and they really gotta get that the next time we see them, if we see them. Can't have us go out on this note constantly with the originals, they need one more genuinely good and mostly positive run. But it is easy to dread what they may do next after this kind of slander against them and others like them. Still, I root for their redemption. They almost had it.

Fully agreed, Mike and Zoey were horrific in this season. And every contrivance they cooked up to get them to the end was worse than the last, and too stupefying to have been allowed to happen in this script. This is what happens with the overzealous playing of favorites, and talking down to the audience. Let us do hope they never do something that foolish again.
