User blog comment:MegamanZero0002/Battle Of The Newbies: TDRI vs TDPI/@comment-31556666-20140720124533

Let's see here. TDPI had one extra contestant over TDRI, so that already has an advantage. But for the sake of argument, let's count Beardo out since he was in one episode only.

TDRI

Staci: 3\10 (Incredibly annoying and one-note)

Dakota: 7.5\10 (Would have an 8 if not for Dakotazoid)

B: 8\10 (So great to try to figure out more about what kind of personality and what kind of guy such a great person is)

Dawn: 9\10 (Similar case to B, only with Dawn, she's more vocal, and even more fun to watch)

Sam: 6\10 (Pretty funny, but isn't too important)

Brick: 9\10 (Really fun to watch, easy to sympathize with, and has great depth)

Anne Maria: 6\10 (Unfortunately a missed opportunity for more development)

Mike: 2\10 (I can't even...)

Jo: 6\10 (Same feelings I have for Anne Maria)

Scott: 10\10 (Not the best antagonist, but his next season brought him so far into the game, becoming incredibly likable, funny, and the one I rooted for the most)

Zoey: 4\10 (I try my best to like her. Commander Zoey is the only real thing I like about her. Otherwise, she barely has any flaws, unless you count having the flaw of barely being interesting)

Cameron: 1\10 (Worst contestant ever. Cameron is fugly, predictable as a character, extremely evil in All Stars, and has one of the worst voices I've ever heard)

Lightning: 9\10 (Sha-yeah!!!)

And what about TDPI

Leonard: 2\10 (Almost as one-note as Staci)

Amy: 7\10 (Such an entertaining jerk to her sister. I know we're supposed to hate her, but that's where the fun is)

Rodney: 5\10 (His running gag got old after 2-3 episodes. But nevertheless, I can't help but feel sorry for him because of this gag)

Samey: 8\10 (You can't have Amy without Samey. Samey is slightly better for strategy in eliminating Amy, but I thought it was awful for her to be eliminated so early. She had a lot going for her character, and they just removed her)

Ella: 10\10 (What else can I say? Ella is kind, adorable, the best singer, has the best elimination, never gives up on befriending others, etc.)

Topher: 6\10 (Ultimately could've done way more, but his interactions with Chris were handled perfectly, especially in Topher's elimination. But that only makes Topher's missed opportunities even more noticeable)

Dave: 9\10 (I find Dave really relatable, but I also feel sorry for the poor guy. Dave just wants to be loved, but his unfortunate exagerration towards honesty brings him misfortune. It took a while for him to grow on me, but I see a lot of potential in him)

Scarlett: 8\10 (How to do Mal correctly)

Max: 9\10 (What seems like someone intent on plotting against everyone is actually a very cowardly, tiny teenager. Max's running gag never got old for me, and I love how he acts better than everyone, but then turns out to be easily gullible. His elimination was unfair, and I'll never get tired of him)

Jasmine: 9\10 (Jasmine is such an original character. I love her ongoing growth throughout this season, and her relationship with Shawn is one of the best handled I ever saw)

Sugar: 4\10 (This one just confuses me. Is she an antagonist? Do they want us to feel sorry for her when she's eliminated? Or do they want us to be happy? Are we supposed to root for her? I just don't get it)

Shawn: 9\10 (I thought he would get old, but Shawn remained not only funny, but really interesting. He had the best lines, funniest moments, and I was glad to see him in the Final Two)

Sky: 9\10 (If Scarlett is how to do Mal correctly, then Sky is how to do Zoey correctly. Sky doesn't rely on someone she's attracted to, made it to the final through bravery and strategy, and also deserved to make it far)

TDRI: 80.5\130

TDPI: 95\130

TDPI easly wins
