User blog:Iml908/Total Drama World Tour: Scoring System

This is 'Total Drama World Tour: Scoring System, the third entry in my Scoring System series of blog posts.

Scoring Method
The rules have been changed slightly to accommodate for the fact there are 3 teams this season.
 * 2 points are added when a contestant or team gets first place in the challenge, winning immunity and the chance to stay in the first class area. (2)
 * 1 point is added when a contestant or team gets second place in the challenge, but are still immune from elimination. Alternatively, 1 point is added when a contestant or team wins a reward challenge, same as the other seasons. (+1)
 * 0 points are added when a contestant loses a challenge, but is declared safe during the elimination ceremony. (0)
 * 1 point is subtracted when a contestant is in the bottom 2 for an elimination ceremony, but is declared safe. Alternatively, 1 point is subtracted when a contestant would have been eliminated, but isn't because that episode was a fake elimination challenge. (-1)
 * 2 points are subtracted when a contestant is eliminated. (-2)

Rankings

 * 1) Heather, 16 points. The objective winner, and a very deserving one. If you've seen the other blogs, you'll know Heather has come in second place in terms of points each time. Now, it feels very well deserved to see her finally not only make it to the finale of a season, but end it with the most points.
 * Tie: Sierra and Courtney, 15 points. It's worth noting that, had Sierra not been eliminated, she likely wound have ended the season with the most amount of points. And it's not that hard to see why. Team Amazon dominated this season. Also, Courtney is the first contestant to ever win a challenge after she was eliminated, which gave her an extra point.
 * Tie: Cody and Gwen, 14 points. The last members of Team Amazon, and the two, in my opinion, that kinda deserve to be in last place. Sure, Gwen has always been a strong competitor, but once again she was the first of her team eliminated. It's only natural she would be in last place. And then there's Cody who, in my opinion, definitely does not deserve to be this high. Not a single post-merge win, yet he still makes it to the top 3. Just like Owen and Duncan from their seasons, he got lucky because of the team he was on.
 * 1) Alejandro, 12 points. Not bad for his first season. Sure, it's not as good as Heather in the first season, and he ties in terms of ranking with Courtney, but still pretty good for an antagonist. Plus, unlike those two, he rarely was ever in the bottom, lasting until at least the 23rd episode without ever landing in the bottom 2.
 * 2) Owen, 10 points. After a pretty bad showing from Owen the previous season, it's nice he found himself ranking high once again in this season. Sure, 10 is just a decent number. But it's better than last place like he was last season.
 * Tie: Tyler and Noah, 7 points. Not much to say about these two really. They won the same amount of challenges, and never landed in the bottom before their elimination. Just like the first season, they share scores.
 * 1) Izzy, 5 points. Izzy's best season yet, helped by the fact she wasn't eliminated twice like the other seasons. She is second-to-last place for her team, but that's to be expected considering she was the first out, in an episode where her team won as a matter of fact. The reason she wasn't given a 0 for the episode was because her team was declared the winning team after she was eliminated.
 * 2) Duncan, 0 points. Bringing up the rear of Team Chris, it's their second highest member. This was just a bad season for Duncan, being eliminated twice, being almost eliminated once. Though it should be noted this is the first time Duncan wins a post-merge challenge, even if it is a shared one. That fact is hilarious to me considering Duncan has made the merge in every season he is in.
 * Tie: Blaineley and Lindsay, -1 point. Blaineley is only on here because she won the challenge in episode 18, earning her 1 point. At least it is a win. Otherwise, Blaineley just didn't have a lot to do this season. She was there, then she was gone. And poor Lindsay. Once again she has a bad score because of her team. Though she was the highest ranking because she and DJ won a reward challenge. There's at least that.
 * Tie: Leshawna, Bridgette, and Harold, -2 points. The Team Victory curse strikes for these three, who all had the same score. It is sad to see Harold and Leshawna drop so low. Leshawna was in at least the top 3 in the previous seasons, and now she is in the bottom three. And Harold was first place last season. Now, he's really low. And this is there last season, so there isn't much of a chance for redemption.
 * 1) Ezekiel, -3 points. Not much to say here. He had a really bad showing, almost being eliminated in the first episode and being eliminated right after that. However, just like the first season, he surprisingly isn't last place.
 * 2) DJ, -5 points. The biggest loser in Total Drama history, with the lost score we've ever seen. And it's not hard to see why it is. He was in the bottom a total of 5 times this season before being eliminated. He did have 2 reward challenge wins, so there is that. However, it still doesn't raise him any higher.
