Worst Things About Total Drama
Chris does descend into insanity, and by Revenge of the Island, he's completely lost it.
So horrible, he couldn't even host The Ridonculous Race.
He's the worst character! I'm so glad Don replaced him!
I hate this so much. The only time there are non-elimination rounds is when the Amazons win.
Nearly every Total Drama character got derailed in some way. Courtney went from being a goody-two-shoes to a spoiled, rude control freak who constantly abused her boyfriend. DJ had absolutely zero use in Total Drama World Tour. His only running gag was the animal curse, which was just sad to watch.
They were perfect in Season 1! If it isn't broke, do not fix it!
Honestly, this defines pretty much every problem I have with Total Drama at the moment.
Her teammates were very gullible to believe Scott. He just came into the cabin with a bin bag, claiming Dawn was a thief. I'm not sure how they actually believed it.
Blame Scott for this one. She got in the way of his strategy, so he needed to get rid of her.
Robbed!
I really hope she comes back in another season. Maybe she can become friends with DJ and help him get over his curse.
They get us all excited, give us the awesome song Blainerific, and then she's kicked off just like that. I hope she's going to have more screen time than that. She's definitely one of my favorite characters in the whole series, along with Dakota and Lindsay!
Duncan really messed up World Tour. Noah's elimination was unfair because Chris wanted Jack the Ripper (aka Ezekiel), and he got it with Owen. Also, Tyler was eliminated after telling everyone about Duncan and Gwen's kiss. I wish Team Chris had actually won the challenge so the elimination could have gone to Courtney or Gwen.
Also, Duncan won Total Drama Action. He didn't deserve more screen time. Alejandro and Noah's rivalry could have given the show more drama than Gwen and Duncan's relationship. They could have handled things better. That was not Duncan's season.
I know Lindsay being an All-Star was a little weird, but Sam made no sense. Maybe it's because World Tour had more mergers, or they wanted to see the reaction to him without Dakota. It could be something else, but who knows.
How the heck is Sam an All-Star? Sam could have easily been replaced with Brick. Brick saved three of his former teammates, and what does Jo do? She leaves them behind. Sam being an All-Star made no sense.
Why was Sam on All Stars? He played little to no game, and Owen would have been a much better choice.
Some characters like Gwen, Duncan, Courtney, and others have too much screen time.
Exactly. Not all characters should get that much love or that much crap.
When I watched the All Stars finale and saw the button, I was like, "Well, that was anticlimactic."
There could have been a more dramatic way of defeating Mal, but no! The writers just decided to use a puny little button.
The press of a button got rid of Mal and the rest of the personalities. Could they not find a better way than that? Maybe they all could have convinced Mike that Mal was just another personality. Doing this completely destroyed Mike's character. He will not be returning for future seasons, and if he does, don't expect him to last long.
Honestly, we all knew they weren't going to win, but the reason they lost is upsetting.
The Newcomers
I mean, you can't really blame the guy. He didn't really like Chris that much.
Pahkitew Island has had too many joke characters. Ella, Shawn, Rodney, Max, Beardo - and Leonard is number one, what was his purpose? Topher is debatable. I would say Scarlett became a joke at the end.
If they had her return, the least they could have done was put her in the final two. Really, she placed a lawsuit against the show to return. They never said she had to return as a contestant. They could have made her an intern. Did I mention she took over Justin's role as the antagonist?
Courtney was made to be a character who always makes her lawyers get her back on the show. If she always gets so mad, then just stop competing!
Courtney should've been in Action from the very beginning of the show.
There should be more reward challenges and they should bring back the Aftermath. You reading this, Terry? Please bring back 26-episode seasons.
Also, why shorten the theme song?! The theme song was perfect before. It gave you a good look at the characters. But now they just skip to the "na na na nas." The audacity!
This, more than anything, is why All-Stars sucked so badly. By cutting the number of episodes in half, you're essentially halving the time to develop characters. Not only that, but you're also forcing yourself to rush development and spend less time on the writing process, which led to badly written plot points becoming infamous - like Courtney's derailment in "Sundae Muddy Sundae" and the reset button in "The Final Wreck-ening."
Okay, it was a nice twist to have them turn into monsters. But now - and this really goes for Ezekiel - why have they not gotten some kind of medical treatment? I mean, nobody wanted them to be monsters in the first place.
One of the few things that really upset me in the series so far. I think the worst, though, would be "Dawn's Early Elimination." That REALLY angered me.
Poor guys mutated, then no cure or help for them. Chris needs to be arrested.
As of late, we got these three: Max, a very sorry excuse for a villain. Sugar, a crossbreed between Owen and Heather. And Scarlett, who had potential but chose not to really do anything until the same episode she was kicked off.
Amy would have made a better antagonist of the season, but sadly she chose just to complain to her sister. Let's see her try that with Eva or Jasmine.
Mal isn't a fan favorite, but at least he's strong and deadly. Scarlet would have been a good villain if she lasted longer and stopped hiding the fact that she was evil, but she was very smart. Max is just a wannabe idiot. Scott made his team lose just to eliminate them.
Alejandro is a male Heather, a flirt, and way too overrated. Heather became nicer, but she was kind of boring. Sugar just plain sucks.
Lately, eliminations have become dumb and predictable. A better example of an unpredictable elimination is in The Great Outdoors. Bridgette burned down the tent while Katie and Sadie got lost, costing them the challenge. Maybe a good twist would be something like when Harold rigged the votes against Courtney.
Terrible. Duncan felt no remorse for his actions. He should have never returned. Gwuncan was too forced and toxic in All-Stars anyways, so why even bother keeping them together? Quick rant: I find the people who say that Courtney deserved it to be really irritating. Duncan should have done it during his return or even before the season, when he had feelings for Gwen. Plus, Courtney actually wanted him back. And the fact that no one else, not even Bridgette (her only current friend), cared about her getting cheated on is awful. And we say Lindsay's elimination in All-Stars was robbed.
If you paid attention, Lindsay regretted her decision to come back, so she wanted to eliminate herself. She said, and I quote, "I can't believe I'm saying this, but no lip gloss is worth this!"
Considering Lindsay loves to look physically appealing, that should be a clear sign that she was serious about wanting to leave.
I mean, I know she tried to lose on purpose, but she was still robbed.
That was a huge slap in the face after all her hard work.
Same for Alejandro and Owen for giving it all up.
Gwen's development went downhill as soon as Action hit. It started to come back in All Stars. I'm pretty sure Sierra stopped being Cody-crazy, so why is she crazy again? She could have done so much in All Stars.
I don't know what happened to Heather in Action. She became friends with Leshawna and finished in ninth place. Heather, you are way better than that. Thank God she came back in World Tour.
Now, we come to the characters that lost all the development given to them. Mike and Duncan lost it all. You would think Jo learned her lesson.
I watched this episode on Valentine's Day, which was a big mistake - it was so sad! You spend all of Season 1 loving Gwen and Trent, and finally, they get together, only to break up in what, 4 episodes? Not cool, dudes. Not cool of you to play with our feelings like that!
Trent and Gwen belong together. They were my favorite Season 1 couple, and then they got ruined. I hope they fix this. They really have lame reasons for breaking these couples up.
Gwen left him because he was cheating through the game for her, but she wanted to win fairly.
Why did the writers go and mess up my favorite couple? I hope they get back together soon.
Again, the writers really should have kept these two together.
Best couple on the show gets ruined. Like really? Why?
Dude... it's Sundae Muddy Sundae. It's the definition of #wemessedup.
Um? He's basically the billboard of "Wasted Potential" in the Total Drama fandom. He and Dawn are both super overrated.
He's cool and needs more recognition in the show for sure.
