User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 1)/@comment-24466939-20140825204910/@comment-1037137-20140826081257

They've definitely been taken advantage of, and they apparently have no say in how their own characters are handled. Hell, I hear they've even been overworked during production in the rush to get these out. Wish I was making that up. As the cast, I think they should have at least some input in what goes on, without them they wouldn't have a show to put out. They make up one of the most crucial parts of the entire team, they practically make the series. They deserve better scripts that make a much more positive use of their characters, and they needed to be treated fairly in the studio.

I would not count all of those examples as winners, but she had some okay ones in World Tour, Revenge, and all of her episodes in All-Stars were among the least painful of the lot. And she did give us Suckers Punched, which is one of the few true standouts of that season. The worst episodes of that season are not of her making.

Yeah, I can see why people are not fond of that one. Restore Dakota, people!

Still, she's the only writer on that crew that I actually gotta give some credit to.
