My opinions on Teams:

13. Hampsters (for a team of Total Drama Heroes, these guys are anything but. So many great options ignored and a bias toward the friendship trio who would've obviously been the last three standing)

12. Grips (I have to rank this team low despite having some of my favorite characters for their terrible performance. I think this is the worst team challenge wise and there was no cohesion. I also have to state that while I like the E-Scope joke, it was only done to give them extra fodder for their bad performance.)

11. Victory (these guys got screwed by plot but, let's be honest, they weren't as good as the teams that actually had people make Merge in that season. DJ being the last one standing on this team was also unfortunate as, even among first boots, others had potential).

9/10. Both Pahkitew Teams (I didn't care too much for the season anyway, and these teams just weren't very good either. Maybe I'm bias here towards earlier seasons, but I just think the other teams have better dynamics).

8. Amazon (I like the characters on this team and it had a lot of drama, but they won way too much and unlike another team on this list, it felt like it was handed to them instead of earned. I mean, they lost a single person, when they were already at a numbers disadvantage.)

7. Maggots (a lot of the same reasons as Amazon, but unlike Amazon, they techically lost more. Plus, the characters on this team were great and it was their first appearance. Plus, the the love triangle made this team at least a little less predictable.)

6. Rats (this team was the best self destructive team in the series, with Scott causing so much drama and being a hateable villain. Plus, the Lightning, Jo, and Brick trio was great while it lasted.)

5. Gophers (I did feel that the elimination order of this team was ridiculous but I think that it had a lot going for it. Plus, this was really the only team with multiple voting blocks in it.)

4. Bass (if it wasn't for Katie and Sadie, this team would be number one. Those two bring down this team down two for just being on here, with Sadie an extra spot for outlasting better characters like Tyler yet doing nothing. Otherwise, I just love the characters on this team.)

3. Chris (What I liked about this team was that it always felt like power was shifting? Despite being the main villain, Alejandro didn't hold all the power. Then Duncan comes along and Drama gets crazy. I don't like Noah's boot but this felt like one of the more grounded teams. Unfortunately, Izzy getting medically evacuated kind of brings this team down for destroying a potential strong majority without giving them the chance to do anything. At least have Al seduce her.)

2. Villains (unlike the Heroes team, this team was great. Gwen being here was an intresting twist but this was a shining light of All Stars. Cameron was a low point (would've had Gwen start on the Heroes and swap here if they needed to do something like this). Honeslty though, it's just the characters alone that put it here for me and Total Drama arguably having the right line up (other than Courtney not starting here).

1. Gaffers (a solid line up and a dominate team with plenty of Drama that makes the pre-Merge of Action a treat. Duncan vs Harold, Everyone vs Leshawna, and how Gwen's elimination spurs Unpredictability. Only thing that might've been better was DJ feeling more like he was actually part of the team, but otherwise great and my personal number one.)
