Nice review, Stryzzar! Well written and thought out. A user once poined out that the final three teams that we got kind of parallel the final three of Total Drama Island.

The Surfers are parallel to Owen. They're nice characters who get along with pretty much everyone even the meaner characters. They're also happy-go-lucky guys who are really just there to have fun, not thinking about the money too much. To them, the money is just an added bonus. Often times they also put others before themselves.

The Police Cadets are parallel to Gwen. Probably the most hard working characters in their first season. They're the ones we root for because they're opposing the main antagonists. They go through "trials and tribulations" throughout their time on the show and actually develop as characters.

The Ice Dancers are parallel to Heather. Obviously, they're the main antagonists of the first season and have the most conflict with the ones mentioned above. They find ways to manipulate the competition to benefit themselves and also get their karma by the end of the season. Also, they have a conflict with pretty much everyone.

I guess that's why I don't mind this final three that much, because we've already had it. I mean, where there more deserving teams? Probably, but sometimes things just don't work out.
