So what is your reasoning for hating Sky more than Dave?

Do you mean least favorite and bottom five? 'Cause that's where she is and and the highest she ever got was bottom three for PI contestants. And I don't hate Dave like, I actually think he is decent.

Sky doesn't work for me at all because past being the strong female protagonist, she is nothing. You need to do more than that to be a good character, none of which she has.

Sky has some really corny, generic lines most of the time that encompass a very narrow range of subjects. I don't need to be reminded in every single confessional she makes that she doesn't need Dave or she needs to win... it really does get old. She doesn't develop at all across the story. She literally leaves the competition the same as she ends it, learning nothing from the competition, contrary to almost all the serious finalists in Total Drama history. Her so called "faults" and "realistic mistakes" people bring up don't really hinder her almost at all. Emotions only hindered her in challenges once, burping didn't hinder her in the challenges at all, and she used it to her advantage once, and leading Dave on is not a realistic mistake, it is despicable. Her emotions only hindered her in the challenge once. Speaking of the Dave part, unlike Duncan, it is not in character at all for her to do this. Duncan is at least a jerk and is open about it, but what excuse does Sky have? She occasionally godplays. I know some people will say "she does gymnastics so it's ok" but it is not. Just because you do gymnastics doesn't mean you should pull off an impossible feat, and flying on a Dues ex Machina crocodile is not related to gymnastics at all. An athlete like Lightning almost never does this during challenges and definitely wouldn't get the last event. Her goal with the money pisses me off because of how unrealistic it is. People say she is an improvement of Zoey, but is this really a good thing? Zoey is already awful, so being an improvement of that makes you slightly less awful. Skave sucked from start to finish and Sky was half of that relationship. And, above all, Jasmine does pretty much everything Sky does but does it better. While she also plays the role of a strong female protagonist, she has a more clearly defined character, she shows a much wider range of emotions, has more interactions, is part of a far superior relationship, we know her fears, and she doesn't godplay or get absurdly lucky. Because they are from the same cast, Sky is completely overshadowed.
