Yeah, if we're gonna look for realism from Total Drama of all things, I have this bridge I'd like to sell someone. This show was never realistic even before Revenge of the Island, these characters have been cheating death since Day One and survived a volcanic eruption. The animals have almost human-level intelligence and we got a Sasquatch. And now we got this moronic yarn about the island sinking and the cast floating away in fart balloons and stuff?

Frankly, I don't see what was so out of place here. Some people excusing surviving a volcanic eruption but not a radioactive island sounds a bit self-contradictory. I don't see how the show was at any point realistic, because realistically the cast should've been goners long ago if this show was even halfway rooted in reality. And it's a cartoon. There is no reality to be had in this. I mean Avatar has people bending the Four Elements. That show doesn't get any knocks for its lack of realism.

Personally speaking, I don't think this mutated island was at all out of place when you already had a show firmly rooted in the realm of unreality. There was a lot of ridiculous things happening before Revenge of the Island.

Also, Zeke was mutated before Revenge of the Island, and in a way that makes even less sense than Dakota's. He wasn't even exposed to toxic waste when he went crazy.
