"Just simply asking you. If you claim to hate every post season of TDI aside from ROTI and made the decision not to watch TDPI, why do you still come to this wiki? Actually, that's really none of my concern. Why is it that you only wish to discuss how bad Total Drama All-Stars was, characters getting derailed, how bad episodes are, and how lackluster the writing has become? Post TDAS, it has literally been a large percent of what you talk about. Whenever there seems to be a post of optimism about the show on the wiki, you still rag on about how bad the show is. It seems like all you're doing is just feeding yourself negativity. if you didn't like how bad TDAS was, you can always watch or talk about something else. The show is aware of how things have been recently, yet I still see you going off about TDAS. It's been a year since it aired, so wouldn't it be best to just let it go, I mean come on man, you're getting worked up over a cartoon show. I understand you're trying to critique the series, but as Codyfan said, there's still a difference betweening critiquing and offering criticism to the show. I rather wish we can just speak on non-aggressive turns and discuss this in a private and respectful manner."

First of all, thank you for relocating this conversation to my wall, because I feel that our walls are a much more appropriate place for it.

Well TDAS is honestly one of the worst-written things I've ever had to sit through, let me be honest there. Coming from a series I've followed faithfully for as long as I have when I know it can do a lot better than it has been doesn't help. And I have been following it since TDI premiered on CN for the first time, just so you know. I happen to know the show can be a lot better and closer to what it was if the effort was applied and I don't feel like the same effort has been applied in several of its sequels.(I'm NEUTRAL on TDPI, I'll see that later for myself until then I won't be commenting too heavily on it) And I think it is hugely important to point out the problems so that they cannot be repeated later, because nearly everyone I know has more than one major frustration with how they have written this thing over time. And TDAS undeniably added greatly to that prevaling feeling for many. And for many good reasons at that. Sure, you cannot please everybody, that's just reality, but when they've made a bad call, they've made some really bad calls, coupled with a questionable standard of writing. I'm merely trying to address them for the disappointment it caused and making sure it isn't overlooked for any reason. Mostly by the watching staff as opposed to everyone else, We know what's wrong with how it was conducted but do they? They say they do, but I don't feel entirely assured of that. They operate in a way where you cannot be too careful or self-assured, they've twisted our words and desires before and I don't think that's any way to treat an audience.

It may sound silly on the surface to be that worked up about it, I know, but it is a troubling disappointment nonetheless, won't lie to you. To have left us on such a profoundly bad note with the first two casts, especially when the show falls into a hiatus for this spinoff. I mean it would be good to have some real assurances that they have taken much of our critiques to heart and will bear them in mind for when it resumes later. The mistakes in TDAS are nothing new, they affected other seasons and just culminated into something much worse in that instance. Something that could easily have been avoided. I simply seek to raise and maintain awareness of those problems. Not to bug everybody else, though I understand maybe I've been a bit heavyhanded with it. I gotta work on that. But it's mostly in the hopes they'll see and understand it, the fans, all us fans are already on top of all the big stuff about it as it is. In my defense, it is very easy to criticize some of the big mistakes to have affected this season, and others before it to different degrees as they have. Everybody does, though I understand I do it a lot more than average probably.

But it's really nowhere near as complicated as some apparently really believe it to be. I care about Total Drama, I'm a dedicated fan, I've enjoyed the show greatly in the past and because I know it's better than this, to see it take such falls as it has over time is disappointing. So I merely try to raise awareness of it to them if I can help it. It's because I am a fan of it that I do criticize these big problems so that they aren't problems later. It's really not as complicated as some seem to think it is. Maybe it does sound kind of silly, but I say it because i do care about the show. I know it's capable of being a lot better, it has been a lot better.

And in my defense, I was happy that Sky won, just to see a girl finally win up there for once, to hopefully disprove my shared suspicion that Fresh didn't care much for female winners at all. I found that a positive change of pace, even if it was a mixed bag for some.

And also in my defense, I probably will see TDPI eventually when I feel more up for it, but I'm criticizing TDAS for how it handled the still much beloved originals and even the second generation, as lackluster as they have been lately, needless to say. We know they aren't completely done with those older elements, and when they resurface in later seasons they gotta be done right to avoid a repeat of this mess. The show would never survive another season found to be equally as bad as TDAS, I hope it never comes to that.

Yes me too, because I got nothing against you and have zero interest in arguing with anybody anymore. Perhaps you'll find all I said just now to be silly, maybe, you won't. Maybe you'll still think I'm overthinking this or taking it too far, I don't know, but I am being honest with you and hope we can at least come to an amicable understanding somewhere amidst all of this. I know, I do go on about this a lot, and I am sorry if I've laid it on kind of thick.
