User blog:ArtDraw12/Character Appreciation - Week 41: Samey

Welcome back to Character Appreciation, a blog series that will run for the whole year alongside  Project 10 . Each week we'll take a look at one Total Drama character, what we like and dislike about them, how they've grown, and what we hope to see from them in the future. I'm ArtDraw12, and this week, I'm coming in late with an analysis on The Nice Twin, Samey!

Overview
Samey, or actually Samantha "Sammy", was introduced in Total Drama: Pahkitew Island. Though she was one of the season's early boots, she did get major focus in the episodes she was in. Her story mainly focused on her life long conflict with her twin sister, Amy, but also on her first friendship ever, with Jasmine. Samey eventually got her revenge on her sister after the latter put the blame for their team's loss on her, after which she acted as her unbeknownst to the others, aside from her friend Jasmine, Chris and Scarlett. However, she was eliminated alongside her mortal enemy after Amy came back because Chris wanted to prevent any more confusion between the two.

Opinions
Samey, or should I say Sammy, is my favorite character of TDPI, and one of my favorite characters of the series overall. After TDAS made me more interested in villainous characters, Sammy made me realize protagonists can be interesting too. Many will call her and her plot cliche, but for me it was enjoyable. I loved how much she developed in just 5 episodes. That's very impressive, especially for an early out, and especially on this show. She made Twinning Isn't Everything my favorite episode of the season. I liked her friendship with Jasmine and wished Jasmine would mention Samey after the latter's elimination. I don't tend to enjoy villains' defeats as much, but Sammy giving Amy a taste of her own medicine was one of my favorite karmas, even if it was a bit cartoony. The only thing I didn't like about her plot was how her conflict with Amy ended, basically outdoing her revenge. This is one of the reasons why I hope we will see her, her sister, and more of her friendship with Jasmine and maybe some others in the next season of Total Drama.

Best season: Total Drama: Pahkitew Island (duh)

Best episode: Twinning Isn't Everything

Best moment: Giving Amy a taste of her own medicine (and manchineel fruit), every moment of her friendship with Jasmine.
