Sweden Sour
​'''​Shake here! After a while, I've decided that I want to write a blog about my absolute favorite episode on Total Drama, ''Sweden Sour! ​Sweden Sour was written by Terry McGurrin and was the 17th episode of Total Drama World Tour.'

Sweden Sour - The Team Dynamics
'''​One reason why I love Sweden Sour was because of the tension at Team Chris. Alejandro and Duncan battled it out for Owen, the wild card. This event I believe, deserves more light. Owen, being oblivious as he is, never came to fully realize Alejandro as an enemy, and had to face a choice of whether or not stay loyal to Al or Duncan, but of course he wasn't aware of how much power he had as the swing vote. Being the swing vote is an incredibly high position, and seeing where Owen stands was suspenseful, coming from a character of Owen.''' '''​Now the dynamics of Team Amazon. Cody's sad, and thus gives Sierra no attention, making her cross. Alejandro continues to woo Courtney, making Heather to seek his attention. Everyone has their own thing going on, and when they have to cooperate, it seems like it won't work. That's what I especially love about team dynamics, when its own members can't cooperate. This provides tension whether they'll make up in time to win the challenge. '''

​​Sweden Sour - The Pre - Challenge
'​The location for Sweden Sour isn't the best one out there, but I loved it's challenge. First, the teams must work to figure out what the mystery pile is. With the Amazon team dynamics, this makes the task seem impossible as Heather and Courtney power struggle. Cody, out of the blue, goes building up the pile as Gwen's head. The Guys at Team Chris were able to figure out quickly, and when they were done, it set the stage for my favorite song of the season and the show.'

Sweden Sour - The Song
'​My word, where do I begin with this song? It's catchy, it had a great setting, I loved the lyrics, and I even sort of dig their outfits! Sierra's end was great, and I love the choreography for Team Chris. This song beats 'I'm Gonna Make It' only slightly, but man do I love it!' Sweden Sour - The Challenge 'Now the challenge, oh how I love it! A game of battleship? That sounds like a great idea for a challenge! I found Owen pretending to be a pirate instead of a viking hilarious because Duncan and Alejandro went along with it. Heather and Courtney had their obligatory power struggle, and Sierra took a Swedish meatball to the gut for Cody! How can you even still compete with that injury on you? Because it's Sierra, duh. I love Duncan's remark when Owen takes down their own mast, annoying Alejandro. In the end, Owen takes one for the team by being their Swedish meatball, destroying Gwen's head.' Sweden Sour - The End 'Now it is elimination time, and to all Courtney fans they are relieved that she has stayed, to the surprise and, uhh, fear of others. I also like this goof where her head enlarges, or hand shrinks. Either way, I found it amusing in the pictures. In the exclusive clip, Team Chris enjoys their reward, and Owen and Duncan watch in confusion and are intrigued to see Alejandro getting a Swedish massage.'

'''And that is my analysis of Sweden Sour! I loved all the components of the episode, not to mention it's catchy song! What is your opinion on Sweden Sour? Did you enjoy it? Did you dislike it? Or are you neutral? Anyways, this blog is done. '''
