I agree on opinion 1, I always found that odd. I think it's mostly just a superficial thing. Or maybe it's not so much about liking Katie but more about disliking Sadie. Once Katie left Sadie was basically a non entity so maybe some people interpret that as if Katie was the factor that made them work since Sadie alone was such an unlikeable mess.

I'm someone that prefered WT more, and for me it's mainly because of subjective reasons. I think that technically TDI was better written and is in that aspect objectively the best season. But it also contained a lot of cliché storylines that already had been done to death, without anything new or original added to them. So therefore the season got boring and predictable at times IMO. I just got more joy from WT, all the way through (despite dumb triangles and the horendous team victory gag). The season was big and bold. It had songs, colourful settings and challenges, it took risks and had a lot of original storylines (unlike TDI). I have an immense appreciation for TDI for being technically the best ... but I just get more amusement from WT.

Third question. I'm a Sugar fan and I don't see any Owen in her tbh. Some of her humor is in the same category as Owen's (toilet and fat jokes) but the jokes are brought in a different way. Many of her jokes wouldn't work for Owen and vice versa. Dave, Jo, Scarlett, Noah,... are all snarkers. Tyler, Scott (in TDAS), Brick,... where the pain magnets. Some people might not like those types of comedy but they are TD staples that where present in every past season and will probably be used in every following season. Aside from that Sugar is also (arguably) the most campy contestant ever, and camp is a severly underused form of comedy in the TD universe. It fits the shows format perfectly so it's really a shame that they don't use it more often. I kinda hope if Sugar returns they would rely less on toilet humor and go full camp, cause that's one of her main strengths. Aside from the comedy Sugar and Owen are pretty much on opposite sides of the spectrum. He's a main protagonist, she's a main antagonist. He's the hero, rolemodel his disgusting behaviour get's glorified and rewarded. She's everything you don't want to be, her disgusting behaviour is dissaproved and eventually backfires. Owen didn't have any strategy and ridiculously floated through not 1 but 3 consecutive (26 episode) seasons. Sugar was one of the few contestants of her season who was actually involved in the game and had some strategy. Total drama is a reality competition parody, Sugar is actually a parody of a reality show figure. She made a believeable antagonist. Which we haven't had since TDI/TDA. And if she had 26 episodes I think she could have been amazing... unfortunately with the 13 episode format her antagonism was rushed a times. Still ok... but could have been better. She is an original contestant with more depth than people allow themselves to give her credit for.

Also without Sugar I'm 99% sure Ella wouldn't have been in the season at all. She was Sugar's rival, her contrast. The yin to her yang. Without Sugar there would be no reason to include Ella in the season at all.
