Top Ten Worst Moments of Unnecessary Cruelty in Total Drama

Feral Zeke was the cruelest thing the Total Drama writers have ever come up with. Ezekiel just wanted to win but got voted off first for losing the reward. And about that elimination, Harold should have been voted off. He suggested bopping the alligator in the head, which made Ezekiel lose the stick. Ezekiel wasn't sexist as of TDWT. Maybe he was a gangsta wannabe, but that didn't mean he deserved THIS.

Look, nobody deserved the immense pain they endured on Total Drama. The difference is that the villains were punished for what they had done - even if it was too far, it was payback.

Zeke did absolutely nothing wrong. He learned from his sexism and moved on. Yeah, he was annoying, but he DID NOT hurt ANYONE on the show until Feral Zeke appeared.

Dakota was trying to be a screen hog but failed miserably. All she wanted was attention, and she sure got attention. But Dakotazoid was quite a stretch for her karma. Dakota didn't do anything mean to anybody, and she was a nice person. It was thrown out there for the sake of throwing something out there, and didn't have much reason behind it. Dakota was used as a karma magnet for NO REASON in TDROTI, yet Chris is STILL unscratched...

She was a bit of an attention seeker, but she was nice, and I love her and Sam!

We knew Scott was banged up pretty badly, but THIS? That's a bit too far if you ask me. Scott was the main antagonist of the season, causing elimination after elimination. Putting him in a trauma chair and having everyone in the cast LAUGH at his misfortune was just... unnecessary. Maybe his overdone karma taught him a lesson in TDAS... He was so dumbed down that season.

I agree, this was ridiculous and uncalled for.

He needed karma, but this took it way too far!

What did Alejandro do to deserve this? NOTHING. Just like Scott mentioned above him, Alejandro was the season's main antagonist, closely followed by Heather. Alejandro manipulated most of the contestants by either seducing them, double-crossing them, or using other forms of trickery. Putting him in a robot suit was just a bit too far. I would have preferred an ending where Bridgette, Leshawna, Noah, Owen, and DJ beat Alejandro up, giving him multiple bruises and minor wounds rather than something as extreme as THIS.

When someone mentions The Final Wreck-ening, there's no doubt they're going to say it was terrible. The whole episode was downright painful to watch, but one of the most unnecessary parts of the episode is this. Chris made a challenge where "Mike" and Zoey have to get assistants for the next challenge from balloons about ten feet into the sky. Not only is this completely inhumane, but it did not make me laugh. They'd be better off bringing back the lottery machine from Niagra Brawls! If you thought that was it, you get a second helping of abuse: The contestants who don't get popped out fly toward the sun. To this day, it's unknown how the contestants got down (the writers confirmed all the contestants are healthy and well).

Not as much physical pain, but still painful on both sides. Lindsay and DJ were forced into a tiebreaker. Lindsay wanted to stay in the contest, but DJ wanted to quit so he wouldn't hurt any animals (thanks, Curse of the Mummified Dog). DJ had said several times that he wanted to quit, but the way Lindsay dressed up Tyler was so hideous, it lost to DJ using Gwen as a model, changing nothing about her except giving her one of his shirts to wear. Lindsay's cruelty is completely unnecessary, and the writers never give her a break.

This proves why Chris is sadistic. Dave and Sky's relationship was starting to derail a little bit, but just when it couldn't get worse, Chris shows tapes of Shawn and Sky. Shawn's confession scenes of him saying he wants all the money to himself were shown, and Jasmine and Shawn were fighting. Something like this was salvageable, though. What isn't salvageable is this: Chris showed Sky's audition tape, and in the tape, Sky said she'd kiss her boyfriend. Chris even played it several times to let it sink in! How sinister. Because of that, Dave and Sky's relationship is insalvageable.

Chris proved himself to be even more of an insane freak in this episode with the ending. Basically, Shawn or Sky gets the money (though I hate both of them), then there's not much else. However, when everyone leaves Pahkitew Island, Chris, along with everyone else, forgets about Dave and leaves him on Pahkitew Island. Honestly, Dave is the more forgivable of the two, and I would have rather seen SKY or SUGAR left on the island. At least they would get their karma! Or better yet, leave Chris there!

Dave got left for no reason. It proves Chris is a jerk and wants to harm the kids.

That's right, contestants aren't the only ones who get unnecessary cruelty targeted toward them! The interns got their fair share of it in Sundae Muddy Sundae. Chris forgot to feed his interns numerous times, and they were seen to have been starving. After everyone gets back with their sundaes to feed the starving interns, Chris changes the challenge to "Eat your own sundae." When Courtney complains that she thinks her sundae is inedible and that she should have won, Chris says his worst line in the series:

"I wouldn't feed them that."

Ugh! Chris is negligent of his interns, and this scene epitomizes his treatment.

That was a rather unusual elimination, and they counted a parrot's vote as well. Although a little bit funny, that was rather odd.

This whole episode was SO wrong and stupid!

This was the worst elimination ever. This should be way higher up. Noah found Zeke, but no, they had to vote him off just because he gave Al a rude comment. He's the best character.

This should be higher. I love Noah.

Mal gives me enough nightmares, but how can one of the cuter characters like Mike turn evil like this?

Gwen is lucky Harold is alive! Poor Harold!

How did Harold not get a concussion?

Beth and Harold were the only likeable characters left (who were actually competing) in my opinion. In this montage, Courtney and Duncan trained Harold and Beth (their fighters) to fight. Their training was extensive, cruel, and unusual. And guess what Chris did? He made the challenge a life-sized version of robot fighting video games. This made all the training count for nothing, and trust me, I was upset.

Gwen did not deserve this, so stop giving her hate because she's a goth. That's a dumb reason! And Crimson and her partner were goths! So if you're going to hate on Gwen, hate on the goth team from season 7! Gwen is a kind and nice character, and she and Duncan are the best ship.

Lindsay doesn't need hate. She's a nice person!

Poor Tyler. He didn't face his fear and got voted off for it, along with some other contestants mocking him for it to the point where he cried. I was crying during his elimination, and I really wanted to hug him.
