User blog:Madeforeachother18/My Top 5 Things TD Needs to do to Get Back on Top

I've never made a blog post before, but after watching the All Star Finale on Tuesday, I really think Total Drama needs to change some things to regain its "#1" status in many fans hearts. I still love the show, but I'd like to list 5 things I need the show to change to become a huge hit again. And here we go!

5. Create better filler characters

This one sounds kind of lame, since filler characters are there for one reason only, but all you need to do is look back to TD Island to see that this series can make some pretty good fillers. Ezekial, while being in only 4 episodes as himself in the whole series (not counting those times were he's Gollum from LOTR) is still remembered to this day by many fans. Does anyone care about or remember Staci from Revenge of the Island? B doesn't talk at all, making him play the role of Justin from season one, Anne Marie is just a blatant copy off of a real reality TV star, and Dawn is really only there to talk to animals. On the other hand, Eve, Noah, and Justin are still memorable from their first season, even with only a few minutes of screen time and no confessional booth time.

1. Go back to the original season/character numbers

At the number one spot is the one thing I think that ruined this great show for me since TDRI. This one effects number 5 in the sense that placing a limit of 13 episodes to show like this casuses a lot of bad things. Poor filler characters that are just there to get kicked early (Lindsey in AS, Staci in ROTI) and rushed/ underdeveloped romance (Scott and Courtney, Seirra and Cameron). Island World Tour, and even Action did this part right by not limiting themselves. You cannot watch All Stars or ROTI and not tell me there isn't a sense of rushed character development. Could you imagine limiting Island or WT to this? Gwen would kiss Trent in episode 5, Seirra and Cody would be "married" in episode 3, and Courtney would find out about Gwen and Duncan in the 6th.

ROTI suffers from this the most, and really do hate that. A whole new cast deserves more time to mature, not forced to cram all the stuff that the original cast did in 22 episodes into 13! This is another one of my worries with Pahkitew, a whole new cast and just 13 episodes. In fact this should say something about the ROTI cast. They only lasted 1 shortened season, and most of them didn't even make the 2nd shortened one!

Well that's my list for Total Drama. I love this series, I truly do, but if they don't fix this problems facing them, I think the show is headed for rock bottem, something I really don't want to see happen. Leave your comments for me, tell me what you think, call me an idoit, defend ROTI and AS! I want to hear from all of you!
