User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 6)/@comment-3410066-20150322124819/@comment-3410066-20150322213628

I threw Cody in there not because he's one of my faves, but because he was pretty much in it without actually being there. They forced all of the Cody plots onto Cameron (ie. the goth-nerd friendship, Sierra's obsession, etc.) which didn't do Cameron any favours, and didn't allow Sierra to fully develop, as a confrontation with Cody would have been much better for her character instead of her obsessing over Cameron. It was a close choice between Cody and Harold for this pic, as Harold is more of an All-Star, but there's more stuff that Cody can do with this cast, and Cameron's excellence in Revenge of the Island wouldn't be ruined.

I also put him and Brick in there because they're almost All-Stars, but are not quite there, giving the series a little bit of underdog status, without it being very out of place, like it was with Sam.
