User blog:RadicalPatMan/Total Drama World Tour - My Way Reuploaded

Reuploading this so that I can get more feedback on the changes to this new version of the my way for season 3. Hello everyone! As you all may know, I recently made a my way version fo World Tour where Gwuncan never happened and made one with Action shortly afterward due to wanting to make a timeline preceeding that. However, I realized that with how essential the love triangle is to the series and that it's what influences their storylines in All Stars, I decided to reinsert it back in but still execute the season better.

With that intro out of the way, let's begin.

Episode 1

 * Note: Here, Chris refuses to allow Duncan to quit so early and adds him on Team Amazon instead. He still decides to let Ezekiel compete anyway though so he places him on Team Victory (much to Team Chris' dismay on the numbers disadvantage).
 * Comment: Hey if I'm gonna develop Gwuncan, I might as well give it more time and build up to Duncan losing any romantic interest with Courtney throughout the first half so I kept him in for now.

Episode 3

 * Note: Due to Ezekiel not losing the stick in this version, no one went home.
 * Winners: Team Amazon (Duncan helped Cody and Sierra make their commercial as well)
 * Losers: Team Victory
 * Bottom 2: Harold and DJ
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2: Team Victory lost because of Harold's idea for a commercial. Harold also annoyed everyone while they were filming the commercial. DJ was also targeted due to annoying everyone with his constant talk of his curse plus he voted for himself after hurting a panda.
 * Eliminated: Harold
 * Reason of being eliminated: Same as canon
 * Votes:
 * Leshawna, Harold, and DJ voted for DJ.
 * Bridgette and Ezekiel voted for Harold.
 * Lindsay voted for Lindsay (not understanding the voting procedure).
 * Comment: Hey, I had to keep some eliminations in both of my ways intact to show what a threat Al was.

Episode 4

 * Note: Unlike canon, Noah interrupted Alejandro and Bridgette just before she kissed the pole so she didn't get her tongue stuck to it and was able to tell her team about Alejandro.
 * Winners: Team Chris is Really, Really, Really, Really Hot
 * Losers: Team Victory
 * Bottom 2: Bridgette and DJ
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2: Bridgette ended up falling behind the other teams due to spending time with Alejandro and ended up crossing the finish line shortly after Team Amazon (Ezekiel simply ran for the finish line) causing them to lose. Leshawna was also not happy when she brought up her time with Alejandro, claiming it as a betrayal to Geoff.
 * Eliminated: DJ
 * Reason of being eliminated: DJ voted for himself due to wanting to end his curse. Bridgette voted for him due to getting the team lost and not stopping at her check point as a result of his tears freezing over his eyes. Ezekiel also voted for him to prevent his crush from being eliminated so early.
 * Votes:
 * Bridgette, Ezekiel, and DJ voted for DJ.
 * Leshawna and Lindsay voted for Bridgette.
 * Comment: Why keep DJ so long for his stupid curse? It wasn't funny and we missed out on seeing the rest of the team shine. I tried to make it more unique than the other World Tour my ways though by keeping Harold's original elimination intact and have DJ last one more episode than the average ones. Besides, Bridgette will play a key role as one of Alejandro's opponents.

Episode 5

 * Note: At the start of the episode, Duncan joins Courtney and Gwen in voting off Heather on the occasion that they lost. Ezekiel's also the one the bobs for apples instead of DJ since he's already gone. During the course of the episode, Duncan and Gwen start to get closer (mainly in the boat scene while Courtney and the others are still going down the pole). Duncan and Courtney also start to have relationship problems at this point especially when Courtney forcibly takes control of the boat and ends up getting into an argument over whether he should drive (not even a kiss can make Duncan happy now) which makes Duncan realize he's starting to lose interest in Courtney. Alejandro sees this and plants the seeds of jealousy further into Courtney during the episode. Bridgette and Ezekiel start to become friends here due to realizing Ezekiel saved her from elimination last time.
 * Winners: Team Amazon
 * Losers: Team Chris is Really, Really, Really, Really Hot

Episode 7

 * Note: Duncan and Gwen sat out for the second part alongside Tyler while everyone else did it due to the uneven numbering of teams. The two continue to bond and Duncan begins to develop a crush on Gwen (he's also losing interest in Courtney due to her bossy attitude getting too annoying for him). Izzy also knocked Leshawna off the platform early on so Leshawna and Heather's friendship isn't over. Izzy also gets Courtney out due to the CIT being distracted by the Gwuncan moment. The elimination order for the challenge is: Owen, Leshawna, Courtney, Bridgette, Cody, Heather, Ezekiel, Lindsay, Noah, Alejandro, Sierra, and Izzy.
 * Winners: Team Chris is Really, Really, Really, Really Hot (Izzy was the last one standing instead of Sierra)
 * Losers: Team Victory
 * Bottom 2: Ezekiel, and Lindsay
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2:  Ezekiel was the last male on the team.
 * Eliminated: Lindsay
 * Reason of being eliminated: Lindsay was tricked by Noah into stepping off her dance mat by claiming Tyler wanted to hug her and lied about saving her spot on the mat. Since she was the last one standing in the challenge and lost to the nonathletic Noah, she was voted out.
 * Votes:
 * Leshawna, Bridgette and Ezekiel voted for Lindsay
 * Lindsay voted for Ezekiel
 * Comment: I decided to remove Leshawna's elimination here since the way it was done contradicted her development in Action regarding her and Heather. I choose Lindsay instead since she didn't offer much story wise after remembering Tyler's name so I booted her in the episode where she did remember him.

Episode 8

 * Note: With half of their team being eliminated, the Team Victory trio is closer than ever and are more determined than ever not to lose anymore challenges (thanks to Leshawna's pep talk). Courtney and Duncan also get into one really nasty fight when they disagree on which side to go and whether or not Duncan should cut them out of the rope with his knife since the Zings Zings could kill them (not helped by how Gwen slept on his shoulder). Chris also doesn't show the confessional voting here.
 * Winners: Team Victory
 * Losers:  Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot (Duncan eventually cut the rope with his knife so the Amazons were able to reach Macchu Picchu before Alejandro and Owen got there)
 * Bottom 2: Tyler and Izzy
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2:  Tyler was seen as too clumsy
 * Eliminated: Izzy
 * Reason of being eliminated: Getting frustrated with dealing with Izzy's uncontrollable craziness, Alejandro decided to target her. He had little trouble convincing Tyler and Noah to do so since they were also getting fed up with Izzy's craziness and got Owen to vote Izzy out too by claiming everyone else on the team was gonna vote him out for delaying them, expanding on his claim of no one but himself wanting to go back and find Owen. Owen does apologize to Izzy though before she takes the Drop of Shame.
 * Votes:
 * Noah, Alejandro, Owen, and Tyler voted for Izzy
 * Izzy voted for Tyler
 * Comment: Izzy was more or less in the background for most of the season so I booted her earlier since I didn't want a repeat of the Brainzilla thing plus this did seem like the right time to boot her by expanding on Alejandro manipulating Owen in the actual episode. I made this elimination to compensate for lack of elimination in Egypt.

Episode 9

 * Note: Courtney winds up making another list for Duncan to change himself which really frustrates him to no end. At the same time when the team splits up, Duncan decides to partner with Gwen despite Courtney's protests while Courtney is stuck with Heather. Alejandro witnesses this and continues to plant rumors of Gwuncan happening in her head to the point where Courtney fully believes him now. Eventually, Courtney ran into Gwen and Duncan and saw them laughing together. This led to her and Gwen getting into a nasty fight over whether or not Gwen would steal Duncan from her. Oh and Sierra's more focused here since there was no fake elimination last time. Chris also shows the vote confessionals here like he did in The Am-AH-Zon Race in canon.
 * Winners: Team Victory (since no one was unfocused like DJ was in canon, they finished first)
 * Losers:  Team Amazon (here, the drama between Team Amazon caused them to fall behind and lose)
 * Bottom 3: Courtney, Duncan, and Gwen
 * Reason of being in the bottom 3:  Love triangle stuff. Duncan voted Courtney due to getting fed up with her jealousy toward his new crush.
 * Eliminated: Duncan
 * Reason of being eliminated: Wanting to capitalize on this new drama to keep the target off her back, Heather convinced Sierra and Cody to help her vote out Duncan by claiming he was the root of the arguing between Gwen and Courtney and he already made far twice. After seeing that Duncan tried to vote her out, Courtney broke up with him before kicking off the plane in frustration.
 * Votes:
 * Cody, Heather, and Sierra voted for Duncan
 * Courtney and Duncan voted for Courtney
 * Courtney voted for Gwen
 * Comment: Yeah, I booted Duncan here since he already made it far in the first two seasons though I had him stay for the first nine episodes to build up his attraction to Gwen better. This episode is fitting too since the love triangle drama starts occurring in the city of love.

Episode 10

 * Winners: Team Victory (Ezekiel's multilingual skills came in handy here)
 * Losers:  Team Amazon

Episode 11

 * Winners: Team Amazon
 * Losers: Team Victory
 * Bottom 2: Ezekiel and Leshawna
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2:  Leshawna liked Bridgette better.
 * Eliminated: Leshawna
 * Reason of being eliminated: Realizing that Team Victory was getting wise to his ways, Alejandro sabotaged the course same way he did in canon. Since it was Leshawna's turn while riding the sabotaged course, she was blamed for costing her team the challenge.
 * Votes:
 * Bridgette and Ezekiel voted for Leshawna
 * Leshawna voted for Ezekiel
 * Comment: There, I gave Leshawna an elimintion still caused by Alejandro in a way that didn't contradict her friendship with Heather though she still doesn't seem merge worthy this season my eyes.

Episode 13

 * Note: Gwen and Courtney initially end their conflict here after bonding. Bridgette and Ezekiel get closer as friends due to being the last of Team Victory. Capture order is: Alejandro, Sierra/Cody, Tyler, Heather, and Ezekiel. After Ezekiel was captured, Bridgette joins Gwen and Courtney in finding a criminal (though unlike canon, it's an actual one that's not Duncan). And the person playing Jack the Ripper for the challenge is actually Duncan (mostly cause Chris forced him to out of contractual obligation). Duncan doesn't return though he does meet up with Courtney and Gwen where he does the same stuff with them that he did at the end of the canon episode before taking the Drop of Shame again. Alejandro also does not see the surveillance footage so he's unaware Noah distrusts him so far.
 * Winners:  All three teams since they captured a ripper.
 * Comment: I removed the Alejandro seeing the surveillance footage thing here since it felt forced in my opinion and made this episode a non elimination just to give more space to breath for everyone. I also had Duncan come for a small appearance mainly to restart the drama.

Episode 14

 * Note: Alejandro forces Noah to do the wrestling challenge with Owen and he predictably loses.
 * Winners:  Team Victory (Ezekiel did the tiebreaker for his team (as a face off between Peter Oldring's characters LOL) and won due to not being distracted by love triangle drama)
 * Losers: Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot
 * Bottom 2: Alejandro and Owen
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2:  Noah decided to try and vote off Alejandro and convinced Owen to vote with him. Meanwhile, Alejandro found this the perfect time for his alliance with Tyler to take out Owen due to finding him annoying (especially when calling him Al) and gross.
 * Eliminated: Owen
 * Reason of being eliminated: For the tiebreaker, Chris had the two of them wrestle. Alejandro won by hitting some pressure points in Owen. Due to realizing there had to be two votes against him and that Tyler voted with him, Alejandro realizes Noah is on to him and vows revenge.
 * Votes:
 * Alejandro and Tyler voted for Owen
 * Noah and Owen voted for Alejandro
 * Comment: With how far Owen's made it in the first two seasons, he didn't need to merge for the third time in a row. I found this a decent spot to boot him since it still allows for Noah/Owen bonding but in a way to benefit Noah's story this season.

Episode 15

 * Winners:  Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot (Tyler didn't get the artifact destroyed here)
 * Losers: Team Amazon (here, Chris didn't catch the artifact after Gwen tripped)
 * Bottom 2: Courtney and Gwen
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2:  Love triangle drama
 * Eliminated: Gwen
 * Reason of being eliminated: Despite Courtney throwing the challenge, Heather opted to vote out Gwen since she's a bigger threat socially. Combined with Courtney and Sierra's votes, Gwen was kicked off.
 * Votes:
 * Courtney, Heather and Sierra voted for Gwen
 * Cody and Gwen voted for Courtney
 * Comment: Well, I managed to resurrect the love triangle in a way that didn't make Duncan and Gwen as unlikable to fans but it clearly wasn't the time for Gwen to go merge again yet.

Episode 16

 * Winners:  Team Amazon (since Courtney isn't throwing challenges due to Gwen already being gone, they won)
 * Losers: Team Victory
 * Bottom 2: Bridgette and Ezekiel
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2:  They were the last two members of the team.
 * Eliminated: Ezekiel
 * Reason of being eliminated: He lost the tiebreaker (same one Gwen and Courtney did in canon). Also, he doesn't grab onto the plane and is content being eliminated since he had a good time.
 * Comment: It was definitely nice to give Ezekiel more time to shine and get some development (like his friendship with Bridgette and the multilingual thing in Newfoundland) but he ain't merge material so going out here works. At least he can't complain now.

Episode 17

 * Winners:  Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot
 * Losers: Team Amazon (Bridgette teamed up with the Amazons due to being a team of one by now but she was able to get her team's flag before Team Amazon did so she got second place)
 * Bottom 2: Courtney and Heather
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2:  Heather's Heather
 * Eliminated: Courtney
 * Reason of being eliminated: Wanting to avenge Gwen's elimination, Cody convinced Heather and Sierra to vote off Courtney for being a nuisance and involvement in Gwen's elimination.
 * Votes:
 * Cody, Heather and Sierra voted for Courtney
 * Courtney voted for Heather
 * Comment: Courtney was kinda of annoying after Gwen's elimination in canon so I decided to boot her just before the merge.

Episode 19

 * Note: Merge time and Eva returns instead of Blaineley! Wedding pairs are:
 * Alejandro and Heather
 * Bridgette and Tyler (as a pairing of the klutzes)
 * Eva and Noah (throwback to Team E-Scope)
 * Cody and Sierra
 * Winners:  Bridgette and Tyler
 * Bottom 3: Noah, Alejandro, and Sierra
 * Reason of being in the bottom 3:  Bridgette and Noah told each other of their suspicions on Alejandro and attempted to boot him out while Alejandro managed to secure Eva's trust by claiming he would protect her from going through a repeat of what happened in her Island return and got her to target Sierra by claiming she was too crazy.
 * Eliminated: Noah
 * Reason of being eliminated: Alejandro's actual plan was to boot out his biggest threat, Noah. While he knew that Eva would never vote off her friend Noah (which is why he lied to her about targeting Sierra), he did convince Heather, Tyler, and Sierra (same as canon) to boot Noah.
 * Votes:
 * Alejandro, Heather, Sierra, and Tyler voted for Noah
 * Bridgette and Noah voted for Alejandro
 * Cody and Eva voted for Sierra
 * Comment: It was good giving Noah the merge here but more that I think about it, he ain't much of a winner material for this season so this is a nice place to boot him especially courtesy of Alejandro. As for Eva returning instead of Blaineley, I felt Eva deserved a second chance in the game unlike the pointless Blaineley.

Episode 20

 * Note: Here, Tyler replaces Courtney in eating Alejandro's food for him til he's caught.
 * Winner:  Sierra
 * Bottom 2: Alejandro and Bridgette
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2:  Alejandro cheated during the challenge and Bridgette managed to tell Eva about Alejandro's true nature.
 * Eliminated: Bridgette
 * Reason of being eliminated: She was the biggest threat to Alejandro due to her social game and knowing of his true nature plus she was the one to bust him for cheating here. He had little trouble getting Heather and Tyler to vote with him and convinced Cody to do the same by promising to help him boot Sierra next while getting Sierra to vote with him by claiming the surfer was gonna flirt with Cody.
 * Votes:
 * Alejandro, Heather, Sierra, and Cody voted for Bridgette
 * Bridgette, Tyler, and Eva voted for Alejandro
 * Comment: Amazing how well Bridgette did but I had to kick her off here since I didn't need her going that deep in the game plus an eating challenge does seem decently fit for her to leave.

Episode 21

 * Note: Here, feral Zeke's replaced by a lion.
 * Winner:  Eva
 * Bottom 3: Alejandro, Heather, and Tyler
 * Reason of being in the bottom 3:  By now, Tyler is aware of Alejandro using him due to what happened in the previous episode and Eva (and Bridgette before she took the Drop of Shame last time) convincing him of Alejandro's true nature. Sierra also hated Heather the most so far.
 * Eliminated: Tyler
 * Reason of being eliminated: Realizing Tyler's aware of his true motives, he and Heather decided Tyler was no longer valuable to them and after Eva was declared immune, they individually convinced Cody (who had enough of the love me tea from the previous episode to not put up much of a fight) to vote with them.
 * Votes:
 * Alejandro, Heather, and Cody voted for Tyler
 * Eva and Tyler voted for Alejandro
 * Sierra voted for Heather
 * Comment: Tyler was amazing this season but he didn't have to make the finale for the story to work.

Episode 22

 * Note: Winner gets to decide who's being eliminated.
 * Winner:  Heather
 * Eliminated: Eva
 * Reason of being eliminated: Alejandro and Heather deemed Eva as the biggest threat left in the game due to her strength.
 * Comment: Of course I ain't letting a returnee like her go further than 5th. It was nice to give Eva another chance but she just feels out of place with the other four.

Episode 23

 * Winner:  Sierra
 * Bottom 2: Alejandro and Cody
 * Reason of being in the bottom 2: Same as canon
 * Eliminated: Sierra
 * Reason of being eliminated: Same as canon
 * Votes:
 * Cody, Heather, and Sierra voted for Alejandro.
 * Alejandro voted for Cody.
 * Comment: Eh, the final four onward was pure perfect so I'm keeping it the same from here on in.

Episode 26

 * Winner: Heather (her ending)/Alejandro (his ending)
 * Eliminated: Cody and Heather/Alejandro (depending on ending)
 * Reason of being eliminated: Same as canon and the winner got to keep their money since Zeke never tries stealing it here.
 * Comment: Hey, this was a really great finale and I wouldn't change it for the world.
