So far, there's only five contestants I like in this crowd of thirteen. This is probably my least favorite of the three casts. I don't care if anyone takes issue with that later because this season is really nothing special.

Then the least they can do is be rational about it, there's enough flakbaiting in this fandom already and the war of opinions is just ridiculous, though I do have to blame the show's staff for stoking such a bad situation with the inconsistent handling of the series and its three casts. And I don't take kindly to the very one-dimensional "It's called Total Drama" excuse, no there's more to it than that and they know it. Even a series as tumultuous as this one needs to have some logic and care put into it without going too far with its usual, often abused routines. And equal chance should be afforded to all the characters to shine, some "nice characters" are still well-liked among fans and even in that particular crowd so who are they to pan them for the rest of us? It's not their place to do so. Their staunch stance against such characters and the label they're now stuck with could be out of something more personal for all I know, I don't know why they feel such harsh opposition to these guys. Could say a lot about themselves in a regular crowd if they're that quick to write them off and praise the villains in everything they do, I have no idea. I just know that like probably everyone else at one point or another, I've dealt with some very unpleasant people who tried to force judgmental attitudes like that onto others and have taken issue with people who don't agree with them. In this fandom, that kind of BS is the last thing we need to hassle with. We got bigger problems here to deal with than picking petty disputes with each other. To each their own, I learned that much from my experiences here, and everybody should respect that. We all have our lapses, but getting on everyone else's cases constantly for their differing opinion and trying to belittle them is just sad and stupid.

They had to have, they signed up for it. But I still expect the staff to acknowledge it and I'll be damned if they think it's okay. It's one of the most tasteless things I've ever seen them do, which is saying a helluva lot given their spotty track record. It's one of the stupidest things I've seen out of any show, it was totally uncalled for and it was enormously disrespectful on so many levels. And to leave us with the question for years is truly unacceptable. There is no sense whatsoever to be found in any of it, and I'm still baffled as to how they even cooked up that scene. They really that inconsiderate and naive, are they that lacking in common sense over what kind of uproar it might cause to leave us hanging there, or do they just straight up not care? I can't read them, I don't know what their story is. I just know what they did was insensitive and foolish. Yes, I want them to take time and to really be careful over who they entrust to work on this series, you got too many people with questionable credentials at hand here. They do need to handle things carefully, maturely, and with regard for the audience in mind when they get back to it. They absolutely need to clamp down on what fans did not take well to and stop creating bigger problems for themselves as well as us. They need to be smart about this, but it still doesn't change the fact that they went through with this and entirely regardless of what their intentions are for the future seasons if there are any or what their intentions were at that critical moment in the screenwriting process, they made a serious error in judgement that they should've recognized as setting off a potential powder keg among the other things they did in that finale and they need to accept full responsibility for it. Cannot allow them to believe that it was in any way okay to do. Bottom line, it was sick.

I set my expectations at dead zero. That's how. These are people I don't have very much trust for, so I just went in without any hopes on hand. By then I had become familiar with the crap they like to pull, TDAS just affirmed how much they did not learn their lesson. It was pure luck that ROTI didn't put me off in a similar manner. I don't have as high a regard for it now due to very obvious reasons, but I still had fun with my first viewing of it and so I'm grateful for that. But I was not expecting anything good going in.

Well I don't get what all the ludicrous hype has been about. It had its moments but it was no more special than anything else in this season. Sure Scarlett's delightfully over the top and JaShawn was good, but the usually annoyances of the season still stuck, and the trick pulled on her to get her guard down was stupid. And Chris, Max, and Sugar are annoying as ****. It's an okay episode, but it's nowhere near as brilliant as some insisted. So I was a little ticked about all the hype.
