User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 3)/@comment-1037137-20140906025634/@comment-31556666-20140906094003

Pahkitew may have had a ton of flaws, but I'd agree with Skavefan that it's probably my second favorite season.

Was Samey's development good? Sure, but they kind of rushed her undeserved elimination and all.

Could Skave have been good? Yes, but they also rushed this with their short length of episodes where there was really not too much things you could do with them without putting yourself into a corner.

Could Sugar have been a decent antagonist? Maybe, but with the seasons length, it was hard to balance her antagonistic qualities and her comedy.

Most Pahkitew problems are actually mostly due to the seasons length, which has been a problem the past three seasons. It's bad enough that I found seven people from the cast to not really be entertaining, but I also couldn't even get to know the seven that I actually liked.

In fact, maybe All Stars could've been less flawed if there was more episodes and more contestants. Add Owen, and replace Sam with Brick and Dakota, and have extra non-elimination challenges. I actually didn't mind TDA reward challenges because it gave you a chance to learn more about characters, along with learning new plot points. All Stars' only non-elimination episode was Moon Madness, which isn't the best episode for that kind of reputation.

Maybe with all those many contestants, RR can fix this ongoing trend of problems.
