User blog comment:Cody Kins TD Fan/Which is the Worst Season Finale: TDAS or TDWT? Note: PLEASE NO MIKE AND ZOEY BASHING!/@comment-1037137-20131206204915/@comment-1741760-20131206220857

Though if there wasn't people mean-spirited on the show, would Total Drama really be Total Drama?

...Is what I would say if I didn't rewatch Season 1 (I'm doing a rerun before Pahkitew). Island had a nice balance between heartwarming moments (Geoff teaching Gwen to lighten up, Cody setting up Gwen and Trent, etc.) and heartbreaking moments (Heather tricking Trent and Gwen, Heather betraying Lindsay, etc.). And Revenge had those too (Heartwarming moments: Zoey and Mike getting together after all of the complication, Sam still liking Dakota even after she mutated, and heartbreaking moments: Dakota mutating and Scott separating Mike from Zoey).

But in all fairness to TDWT, it wasn't really all that different from Revenge and Island. Sure there was an abrupt finale ending and the Love Triangle mess that occured (which were heartbreaking moments) but there were also heartwarming moments like Lindsay remembering Tyler, Cody appreciating Sierra, etc.
