Top Ten Reasons Total Drama Revenge of the Island is Better Than Pahkitew Island

The primary antagonist was Sugar. She got Ella and Jasmine eliminated.

In TDROTI, it was definitely Scott as an antagonist. In Pahkitew Island, was it Max, Scarlett, or Sugar?

I deeply agree! The characters in TDROTI had wide-ranging personalities with deep emotional journeys, combined with strengths and weaknesses! You had Beverly, who was extremely intelligent and a mastermind at making machines. You had Dawn, who was attached to nature and seemed to have a deep spiritual connection, able to find everyone's aura.

In TDPI, you have lazily written characters. Leonard "The Wizard," for example, was absolutely ridiculous. His stupid spells caused deep trouble for the team, and he was incredibly stupid too. There was another guy who I can't even remember. He did awesome sound effects but barely had a personality. Beverly's silence wove something that made you connect with him. The sound effects guy just showed his skills at beatboxing. Oh, and that other guy, the big one who loved every girl he saw?!? Yeah, this was funny the first time, but on re-watch, it gets a bit awkward, and the character does nothing but be a slave for love.

Even though it was a new cast, fans felt at home because of some of the best OGs making cameos and starring in the challenges. I love that the two generations got to meet each other!

There weren't any cameos in Pahkitew Island. None of the past contestants were even heard or mentioned.

I loved the hidden cameos or "Easter eggs" that were cleverly placed in the show.

Since many animals were mutated, it was a lot funnier.

Ahh, Camp Wawanakwa. Wait, who's this Pahkitew Island, and who does it think it is?

I absolutely agree! The TDROTI finale was a proficient ending to a fantastic build-up of multiple episodes woven into one. The finale was an incredible special testing the contestants' skills. It was a great brain vs. brawn battle that was enormously entertaining and engaged me the entire time!

The TDPI finale? I didn't find it trash. I just found it not as engaging, and for me, it doesn't have that re-watch value.

The Revenge of the Island finale is finally not a race but a duel. However, in Pahkitew Island, it's a race again.

People like Leonard, Beardo, Max, and Ella don't exist.

Dave is literally insane at the end. Plus, I think Dave is dead.

Scarlett went crazy. Dave was always crying.

I already mentioned annoying characters, but Sugar deserves a special entry for being so terrible. Just terrible.

I can't believe Chris let her off without any repercussions, unlike Scarlett and Max, far superior villains of TDPI than Sugar.

Dawn is the best Total Drama character ever!

She's a sweet character but got voted out early.

Let's get this to number 5, at least.

Mike was a sweet and hilarious character. His conflict about his disorder and also telling Zoey about it was entertaining. In general, I'm a huge fan of Mike and of Zoey too.

Amy is cool (and Sammy is cool too, of course), and she's better than the useless and boring Stacy.

TDPI was Chris' last year as host of "Total Drama." I kinda wish his character got some closure before he gets replaced with someone better than him: Don (the host of TDRR).
