User blog comment:Epic~00/Why Total Drama All Stars Was Such An Abysmal Season (PART 1)/@comment-24152851-20140826050351/@comment-1037137-20140826053850

Have you guys heard some of the old messages and videos they put out in the year before it came out? They really were dead set on making us believe it was all that when nothing about it lived up to any of the hype and praise they gave it. I understand that you have to promote and move your products, but screw that when they flat out lie to us and hand us something that is thoroughly dysfunctional from start to finish, with zero payoff whatsoever. This season is a dumping ground for every bad idea, which all got dumped on us, and a clear case of how truly unprofessional they can be.

I think this would've blown even if they didn't make it out to be as awesome as it wasn't. There biggest mistake was actually airing it at all.
