User blog:WreakerOfClash/Topher's derailment.

The fifth season, or the second-half of season five, Pahitew Island, was, in my opinion, the worst season of Total Drama hands down. I found that many characters where unlikeable, (Rodney, Amy, Sugar, Sky, Beardo, Leonard), or annoying, (Max, Scarlett, Ella). I found that after the first episode, I only liked 5 characters: Samey, Jasmine, Shawn, Dave, and Topher. I still feel that Shawn and Jasmine are two of the most likeable Total Drama contestants of all-time, and Samey is also up there. I think Dave is the absolute worst character in Total Drama, and had insane derailment, like Sky. But one of my three favorite contestants, Topher, sadly dropped off of that list as the season went on. In the beginning, Topher was probably one of the funniest contestants of the season, and his interactions with Chris amused me. He was stylish, charming, and charismatic. But it all went downhill before his elimination. His obession with Chris quickly became wanted to get him removed from his job, and having himself replace Chris. It was at this point that I realized that his character was derailing fast. It's most likely that those were his intentions from the beginning, but I wish they scrapped the whole idea. You see, like Ella, Max, and Scarlett, the chances of him returning are now very slim as they have been kicked off the show. I still want to love Topher, but FreshTV set him up for failure, making it one of the reasons I hold a grudge against this season.
