User blog:CheeseBurgerGuy/Total Drama: The Finales We Never Got

Hi everyone. It's been quite awhile since I posted a blog on this wiki due to college finals, but I litteraly just finished my final project and wanted to get out something quicker for you guys. This does not replace TDIMU, but I don't have the timecommitement to do a full-on elimination blog quite yet (even if I have it mostly planned out) since my actual final test is on Tuesday.

I decided to talk about something that's been on my mind for awhile. Throughout Total Drama, there have been so many contestants worthy of making the finale that never did. There are also the canonical finalists that maybe didn't go up against the right person and/or combinations that, while maybe not actually fitting for any of the canon seasons, would've been incredible if they had ever gotten the chance.

I'll probably be adding about one a day until we get up to about five-ten. AKA, until I can dedicate my time to TDIMU instead.

Let's get started.

1. Zoey vs Scott
I know that I'm a little biased here as these are my two favorite characters from the second generation, but the writers missed this oppurtunity twice. Both TDROTI and TDAS could've easily had these two in the finale and I bet fans would have loved it.

In TDROTI, Zoey was the fan-favorite to win it all. Out of the entire cast, she was the one with the winners' edit that season. The big shock of the season, and half the reason Lightning probably made it to the finale over Jo, was just for that big twist in the final three.

Scott was the main antagonist of Revenge and had a massive rivalry with Zoey throughout the season. Seeing these two face-off would have been incredible in that season and massively satifying (even if I personally think Cameron vs Jo is a slighty better fit).

And then we have Total Drama All-Stars. I'm going to be blunt: what the hell were the writers thinking when the cut Scott at the final 3?! We could've had our cake and eat it too!

Scott was by far the best character of Total Drama All-Stars, and his relationship with Courtney was great (personally half the reason I'm a Gwuncan fan). Considering that All-Stars was the last time we were probably going to be seeing these bigger characters from the first gen (if the show had continued), bringing Courtney back as Scott's helper would've been a great way to end off their arc.

This doesn't even ruin Mal's arc in the finale, as he could just come back to be Zoey's helper. Would've been great drama seeing Zoey give up on Mike due to Mal at the finale three as a massive twist to the season, and then hit his baloon down by accident when trying to get Gwen or Duncan's.

Add on their continued love-hate relationship from Revenge, and you have a near perfect finale where both finalists are worth rooting for. In fact, the only reason I think the writers didn't go this route was due to Zoey and Soctt placing 3rd and 4th respectively in their previous season. Honestly though, who cares? I don't. At the very least, I think peole would rather be complaining about that than the horrible finale.
