User blog comment:TheDipDap1234/The Reason why I think Total Drama ENDED/@comment-25297892-20180928164848

The end was in the air. After one big effort in RR that, in my opinion, overwhelmed easily the last two seasons even giving us a sneak "farewell" from Total Drama in the process (Chris having an average cameo, the elimination of Noah & Owen ready to move on yet another reality, a clean ending with every situation solved in a good way unlike TDWT/ROTI/TDAS/TDPI without no drama left unsolved) they suddenly ceased the show for two years and then returned with something completely different than the original, that mirrors the average type of show suitable for CN nowadays. This is when I felt it was game over, as they even lampshaded "We were looking for something completely new" that can be easily reformulated in "We lacked of ideas for the continuation of the original show". I had lost hope already to be honest.

Said this, I'm glad the series ended with Ridonculous Race that offered to three old characters the real opportunity to shine on in a complete different settlement with a sort of amarcord in the process about the old times of Total Drama they represented. Pahkitew would hav been a terrible way to end the series, same TDAS, same ROTI, just because they couldn't match with the previous arc of the series. Instead, RR was like a new Island: fresh format, almost all a new cast, good plots, challenges and endings for everyone. TD will still be alive through my fan artworks and writings, as I hope through everyone's else!

This show changed my life and I will be always glad for all the friends I met and qualities I discovered in myself because of it. I will always keep it in my heart and memory.

At the end I'd like to do my farewell to Total Drama and all in the way I picture it the best:
