Total Drama Revenge of the Island: ReimaginedIdea
Total Drama Revenge of the Island was a mediorcre season as it had its problems, but it wasn't terrible. Total Drama Pahkitew Island, on the other hand, was my least favorite season. Total Drama All-Stars applies to this too since its the first half of Pahkitew Island. I don't understand why they couldn't mix the TDROTI cast with the TDPI cast. This could have made the season longer with its traditional 26 episodes instead of the 13 episdoes. The character arcs were rushed in both seasons which caused problems for the characters. So, I had an idea for a reimagining of the TDROTI with some members of the TDPI cast. I have a problem though. I'm conflicted on putting the twins in this seasons I hated how they were written, so I thought I'd give them a shot, but there where other characters I want to work with as well. As much as I've thought it through, they may not competing in this season. They could in the Ridonculous Race or someting. I also liked the elimination order I made without them in it. Let me know what you think after I show the characters I placed in this season and why. I altered some labels for the characters too. This is only an idea I had, and it's just for fun.

~ Cast ~

Females:

Anne Maria - The Jersey Shore Reject: There's not much to say. Of course I had to add her in here since I never really minded her character, so why not? She was also one of the few contestants who actually sparked drama.

Dakota: The Fame-Monger: An obvious choice. She is one of the few characters that got eliminated early, but she returned as an intern. She recieved some screen time which was great. She will have her romance with Sam which is always adorable.

Dawn - The Moonchild: An interesting character who could've been developed more. I don't necessarily see her making it past the merge, but not eliminated early either. I'm sorry, but I ship her with Scott. They could be the "Duncney" of this season, and it can expand both characters a bit more.

Ella - The Theater Freak: I'm really mixed about Ella. She's an ok character, but not the best. This is one of the reasons why I was conflicted with switching her with the twins. I do like Ella's design besides her outfit. I'm not fond of the Disney princess stereotype she was given. She's not a normal teenager. Dawn is more normal than her. I rewrote her to be a teenager who loves the arts of theater and drama, and of course, she loves to sing. She doesn't have that quirck with animals like Dawn does. I would change her outfit to not fit the princess stereotype. To make her more interesting, Ella could be the "Izzy" of this season. She's not crazy, but still outlandish and enthusiastic.

Jasmine - The Australian Outback Girl: Need I say anything? Jasmine was the best character from the TDPI cast, and that's saying something because I only like a few characters from that cast. Her character will remain the same along with her cute romance with Shawn.

Jo - The Jock-ette: I don't mind Jo at all. Yeah, she was rude to many contestants. She wants to win because she had the mindset of besting everyone else. If the season was longer, they could have developed her character to learn not to be so selfish. Her rivalry with Brick was interesting as well. Who knows, it could possibly expand to something more.

Scarlett: The Quiet Brainiac: Scarlett was my second favorite contestant from TDPI. In this season, she will not reveal herself as a "huge villain", but in a future season (All-Stars?) it could happen. It needs to be built up to. She still has her partnership with Max. Though he can annoy her to no end, she'll keep him around as an ally. Scarlett is a manipulator, and skillfully hides her evil nature by remaining in the sidelines...for now.

Sky - The Athlete: Sky wasn't my favorite contestant, but she was definitely one of the more tolerable ones. Her arc with Dave ruined her character, and she had a bland personality. Most even say that she is a Zoey clone. I love her design though. Sky wants to focus on winning, and not let relationships distract her. She could be the opposite of Jo. She has great teamwork skills and sportsmanship, but still wants to win. This can result in Jo and her starting a rivalry. Dave could have an attraction for Sky, but she doesn't return his feelings which can make their arc not a complete mess.

Staci - The Compulsive Liar: Now I know I'm going to get hate for this. Staci was also a difficult decision to add in with the twins considered. Staci is the most underrated character in the series, and she was robbed of her potential. Staci could be a lonely girl who doesn't think highly of herself, so she makes up lies about her family to make herself seem more interesting. She'll eventually learn to be herself, a talkative but sweet person. Staci won't get very far in the game, but she deserves a bit more screen time.

Sugar - The Pageant Queen: Another choice that will get people annoyed. Sugar is one of the most hated contestants and wrongfully so. Sugar has a wild personality that we haven't seen in the show before. It's unique. Her voice actor, Rochelle Wilson, does a great job expressing the character. People hate her because of her gross nature, how she got Ella eliminated, and her intrusion in the Skave relationship which was already a disaster to begin with. Maybe people probably wouldn't have minded her so much if she wasn't the main antagonist of TDPI. In this season, Sugar is not an antagonist, She still has her conflict with Ella, however, and is highly aggressive. The reason why Sugar dislikes Ella is because she is more talented and prettier than her. This brings up Sugar's insecurities. Ella is annoyed at Sugar in return. Pageants are a competitive setting after all.

Zoey - The Indie Chick: Last but not least for the females, Zoey. Oh Zoey. One of the most hated contestants among the fandom. To be honest, I can see why. Especially in the terrible Total Drama All-Stars. Zoey has a bland personality, and she is a Mary Sue character. She faces the same issues as Sky. Let's talk about her design first. I'm not a huge fan as it seems pretty basic to me. Her original design, on the other hand, is what I love! It's an unique design which adds more to her originality. They could probably change her top, so that she doesn't have the same top as Anne Maria and Sugar. Now onto her personality. Her audition tape is misleading to what we actually got. Her entire character was focused on Mike who has his own problems too. Based on her audition, Zoey can be a shy girl with the indie stereotype (she has that label, but it does nothing to apply to her character at all in the actual show). She is trying to make friends which is ironic as most people in this competition are only in it to win it. Yes, she can still have her relatonship with Mike, but her character should not be centered around him. She has potential to be a great character. She also doesn't have athletic abilites that came out of nowhere.

Males:

B - The Strong Silent Genius: I've always liked B. Unfortunately, he will get kicked off early because of Scott. But hey, he can have his moments in a future season. Their conflict is similar to Eva and Heather where the latter caused her elimination who was one of the most strongest players.

Beardo - The Human Soundboard: It was either Beardo or Topher, and I don't like Topher that much at all. Beardo was misused and underrated. I've grown to like him because of his audition tape. He is shy, but he wants to be appreciated by his teammates. Also a music related contestant is pretty cool. Beardo won't get super far in the game, but he deserves screen time.

Brick - The Cadet: Brick is my favorite contestant of the TDROTI cast. I didn't appreciate how he became the punching bag in this season. It's also funny to note that Sam took this role in TDAS, and he replaced Brick in that season. I would change that. His rivalry with Jo is always interesting to watch.

Cameron - The Bubble Boy: Cameron is extremely obvious. He was the winner of the season, and he is a likeable character. What else is there to say? He still has a great friendship with Mike and Zoey. He also can be kind of a third wheel.

Dave - The Normal Guy: Oh how I hated Dave because of his arc with Sky. Besides that, Dave was a decent character. His audition tape made him misleading as well. His is a normal teenager with a case of mysophobia, but he's still there to win the competition. I would change his design, so that he isn't a clone of Mike and Noah. Based on his audition tape, he can be a slightly antagonistic character.

Lightning - The Overachiever: Lightning is an amusing character for me, and he was an obvious choice. I don't appreciate his mean-spirited character though. He is a narcissist, but still believes in cooperation. He still has rivalry with Jo. Him, Sky, and Jo could be the an athletic trinity.

Max - The Super Villain: Max is kind of iffy for the Total Drama community, but he's alright in my book. He has his moments. Max is still trying to be a villain, and he wants the money for his own "evil" plans. Of course Scarlett assists him, and the two form an unlikely friendship. Even if it is a bit one-sided. They're like an evil married couple. A rivalry between them and Scott could be entertaining.

Mike: The Multiple Personality Disorder: Mike is another hated character which is reasonable, especially in TDAS. MPD is a serious mental issue, and it shouldn't be the only thing to his character. We barely know anything about him besides his personalities. How did these personalities begin to develop? In real cases, people form MPD from trauma. It doesn't have to be that dark, but make it beleivable. We know more about his personaltites than Mike himself. What does his like, what does he do, what are his traits? Mike didn't even have to lie to Zoey about his disorder. When the two are starting to become friends, have him be honest with her and explain to her that he is trying to cope with his disorder and control it. Zoey, as well as Cameron, can help him get through with it which strengthens their relationship even more. The whole Vito and Anne Maria stuff can still happen to cause drama. Even though this doesn't apply to this season, NO RESET BUTTON! MPD cannot be cured, but can treated. It does not go away by a press of a button.

Sam - The Gamer: There isn't much to say about Sam. I like him. He doesn't last that long, but he still has his romance with Dakota. He may even become an intern alongside her, so he more screen time. I haven't decided yet.

Scott - The Devious: Scott is honestly one of my favorites. Not too much in TDROTI, but in TDAS. That portrayal shows off more in this season, but he is still the main antagonist. His strategy is to seem weak by causing his team's losses, but once the merge hits, he will pick off the strongest competitiors. His greatest conflicts are with Zoey, Cameron, Mike, B, Shawn, and Jasmine.

Shawn - The Zombie Conspiracy Nut: Shawn was my third favorite of the TDPI cast. His character practically remains the same. He learns how to handle his zombie obsession. Jasmine of course will get through to him.

What do you guys think of my reimagining? Should I replace Staci and Sugar with Amy and Samey (though I am quite fond of Sugar, and Ella grew on me after writing this)? Or should I just get rid of only one of the girls, and add Amy and Samey in here? It'll be uneven as I wanted 22 competitiors alike the first season, but whatever will get the job done. This is just a thing for fun, amd I would love to hear how others think!
