Hello,

I'm not sure if you're still reading the fans opinions or not, but I figured that I might as well try and put my opinion.

Background: I was thirteen when I started watching the show, now I am nineteen. I have been a fan of the Total Drama series since season one however I did not tune in on the first episode, but it was the week in between Bridgette and Lindsay's elimination but I did catch up with the show before That's Off the Chain! came out in the US. :D From the very episode I saw (Episode one) I fell in love with the show it was one of the few things that got me excited, and I talked about it all the time to the point where I annoyed my older brother about it even though he enjoyed the show himself, however when his two favorite characters were eliminated back to back (Bridgette and Lindsay) he became uninterested in the show.

My favorite character quickly became Sadie but not Katie and she still is, which some people are shocked by the fact that a character who only competed in one season for eleven episodes, but I just think she's awesome. The reason I like Sadie over Katie is because she is nicer (when they got in an argument Katie said way more hurtful things, although I could see her being an antagonist over Katie), smarter, and to me is more interesting which is why I think you guys had her last longer than Katie. The thing I didn't like was that Sadie unlike Katie had to be cheated out/eliminated unfairly of the competition/series.

I continued to watch the series I liked TDA and I loved TDWT, I was excited to see some new contestants and it did not dissapoint me because I enjoyed TDROTI as well. Once TDAS started I enjoyed it at first and I thought it was pretty good, but once we got to You Regatta Be Kidding Me I didn't enjoy it as much it began to become inconstistant, some characters acted out of character, and I didn't like how you guys decided to save Cameron twice. By Sundae Bloody Sundae I didn't enjoy it anymore because I honestly feel like it ruined Courtney's character. And I don't feel like characters developed much.

I'm not going to go into much detail about the inconsistancies, character developements, it becoming to cartoony for it being about a cartoon about a reality show, and plots that were good such as HeatherxJo rivalry that was dropped too early in the season. I feel like you focused way too much on Mike and Zoey and not enough on the other contestants. Because other people have talked about it and I'm sure reading the same thing over and over can be somewhat annoying.

Now my main problem is that you focus on the same characters too much (I understand TDAS is supposed to be like that, duh its an All Star season) but in general. By that you guys obviously have favorites ex. Owen, Heather, Duncan, Courtney, Alejandro, Mike, Zoey, Scott, and Cameron and you focus too much on them. This show is based on a reality show so there aren't supposed to be main characters maybe later on in a season make the finalists a little bit more standout-ish, but not the whole time. Take Duncan for example he made it to the merge in all four seasons he competed in and made it to the final 4, was a finalist, in TDWT I was happy that he went early only for him to return and make it to the final 5, and the final 8. And Zoey final three and was a finalist in the two seasons she competed in. Now with Heather at least she made it to the final three, then got eliminated before the merge, was a finalist, and came in 10th in her last season so at least we've had a break from her for a little bit unlike Duncan and Zoey. I just feel like they're to forced on us.

Now what I'm hoping for is an underdog season (Total Drama Redemption Island) where contestants who only competed in once season (ex. Eva, Katie, Sadie, Staci, B, Dawn, Brick, Anne Maria, maybe Dakota) or ones who competed in more than once but has never made it to the merge or has done worse over time (ex. Noah, Tyler, Ezekiel, Sam, DJ, Trent, Geoff and Bridgette.)  All of these characters seem to have such great potential and some are even fan favorites with their short amount of time. It'd be a nice break from the over-used characters and it could have amazing plots! I mean it'd be nice to see Katie and Sadie on opposite teams to recieve their own developement and personalties then one (Katie) to be the second to last eliminated before the merge by the antagonist only for Sadie to get the antagonist eliminated out of anger and for her to become the main antagonist and make it to the final three. I think it'd be nice to see Eva make it to the merge without having to return. It'd be nice to see Staci be the antagonist that Sadie eliminates right before the merge. It'd be nice to see B talk at least once, Dawn to be the main protagonist, Trent to be redeemed, Noah and Tyler make it to the merge, Ezekiel not being the first eliminated, Bridgette outlast Geoff, ect. These are just some ideas from a fan-fic that I want to write.

I'm sorry but I really just want an underdog season and I'm just trying to give ideas and opinions. I would say that you need longer seasons but I know that's not up to you. Thank you so much for listening to me and to the others. :)

Thank You,
