User blog comment:Tomas T/Total Drama Around the Ocean - New fan season (Second Re-upload)/@comment-44360263-20191220031927/@comment-24784093-20191220102140

Well I don't think there is a character who is naturaly bland. Because its all the treatment the writers gave them. Duncan merge every season because he has a plot, but this is a plot the writers are giving him. If Dawn, Tyler or Topher were given plots from the writers, they would merged every single season. On this season I wanted to focus on the unmerged character and taking a break from the Duncan-Owen-Heather-Gwen pattern (with Courtney in it but it was to bring her TDI self back).

I admint that having a seaso with 24 character was really too big and giving all of them proper plot was kinda hard. But it was fun thing to do with characters that were created by other people.

and again: dont feel bad about the critics. I love to get them as long they are not rude and/or written just for the sake of hurting others. Your wrote your opinion in great way.
