User blog comment:TheAmazingTurtle/Why Pahkitew Island is so great/@comment-26916878-20150822151101

For the first few episodes, I was thinking that there were too many over the top easily disposable gimmicky characters. Then I started to get into it. By the end of it, I'd say that in my top 15 characters, 4 of them are from PI and 2 are in my top 10, which isn't a bad strike rate.

For me the season overall was on par with World Tour. Neither were as good as Island but that was a pretty much perfect season with only a few minor flaws. Not being as good as what I believe to be a nearly perfect season is no disgrace though!

1. Total Drama Island-Amazing season. Was paced well and there were plenty of memorable moments and the right character won I feel.

=2. Total Drama World Tour/Pahkitew Island. Max was freakin' hilarious and Jasmine, yay for the local girl! Plus there were some other fun characters. If Scarlett's storyline hadn't been so rushed and it had ended the season instead of running out of steam part of the way through and Sugar.....well if Sugar had just not existed at all it may have given Island a run for it's money as my favourite season. One of my 3 favourite characters in PI won it as well!(well in my country anyway) Alejandro is my favourite villain in Total Drama history and it was fun seeing his rise to being a major character. Noah and Owen as sometime slightly awkward best buddies was too amazing for words. What dragged it down was what I felt was the premature elimination of Noah, the waste of the great potential of the second chance challenge just to shoehorn a pointless character into the show and Sierrra in full on crazy mode stopped World Tour from being a truly amazing season. The end was silly as well. Sure you felt that it kind of had to be a female who bested Alejandro but Heather? The good 'guy' by default thing that was thrust upon Heather just did not work for me, The volcano ending for Al was a bit too much and wouldn't have even worked for me even if Australia had gotten the ending where Alejandro won and definitely didn't work if he lost which he did for me.

3. Total Drama Action This season is underrated. .Of course I feel that it was let down by Beth going too far and actually winning in my country and a final 2 of Duncan and Beth was rather dull. Harold was well utilized in this season and my God did they ever turn Justin around from being a one note joke character in Island to being an interesting minor villain.

4. Total Drama Revenge of the Island. Characters that dragged down All Stars were actually good here with Mike being an interesting character when he wasn't the focus of an entire season and Commando Zoey actually gave her a needed spark. Lightning was comedy gold all the way through and Cameron was a perfect sympathetic character. Scott was refreshing for a villain with his sabotage his own team strategy as well.

5. Total Drama All Stars. I could talk all day about what went wrong with this, the only Total Drama season I don't like but I'd rather say what it actually did right. Alejandro and Heather's relationship through this was interesting and when Al revealed he could walk all along and pulled out that invincibility statue to screw Heather over, well that was one of the greatest moments ever in Total Drama for me.
