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

I liked RotI better then TDPI and I'll tell you why.
The Top Ten
A Defined Antagonist

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?

Less Annoying Characters

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.

Cameos in Revenge of the Island

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.

More Exaggerated

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

Back to the Birthplace of Total Drama

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

Better Finale

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.

Star Lord Out

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

More Realistic Characters

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

Nobody Goes Insane

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

Scarlett went crazy. Dave was always crying.

No Sugar

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.

Better Relationships

Shawn and Jasmine in Pahkitew, Sam and Dakota, and Mike and Zoey in ROTI - though I hate the two couples in ROTI. So boring.

The Newcomers

? No Amy
? No Annoying Songs
The Contenders
It Has Dawn

Dawn is the best Total Drama character ever!

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

It Has Dakota

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

It Has Mike

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.

Beardo Isn't There Spitting on Everybody
It Has Anne Maria
It Does Not Have Kelly
More Lovable Characters
The Characters Aren't Clinically Insane
Macarthur Doesn't Take the Show Over
Gwen Makes an Appearance
Better Characters

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

Chris Gets Punished

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).

No Ella
Ezekiel Makes an Appearance
