Total Drama: The TiBB Rankdown 2017 (NOMINATIONS 5, WRITUPS DUE)

[Ant.]

If I were you I'd remove Glenn for truancy

And the fact he hates Courtney!

[Glenn-C]

Hi

Save Miles
Not REALLY a fan of her but since it's only down to her and Pete I'll save her. I'm not really sure WHAT to say about her but I'll have something by the time it's due.

Cut Pete
Chris 2.0 and his partner were funny at first, but even with only 3 episodes they got really old (no pun intended) really fast. I thought they would've been the first ones out tbh. Idk what could be done with him if he ever returns, him and Gerry seem like very one-off characters to me...

[Morgan.]

Thank you! Glenn-C to nominate!

[RileyH]

Oh I just realised I haven't done my writeup either :shame:

Cut Amy Normally I love the 'villainous' characters and I understand that every season needs a good villain but honestly was there really anything to Amy apart from her hatred of the superior Sammy? The only other thing I can think of is Rodney's weird obssession with her (but then which woman was he not obsessed with?) and she is kinda overrated. Her elimination/return were some of the best parts of TDPI though so I have to give her credit for that :)

This is the last round that montblanc can #FINALPASS. Everyone else has two rounds but tbh it's a bit pointless if you use it on the last round possible because they're only going to the next round anyway.

63. Spud
https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/totaldramaisland/images/f/f6/Spud_in_the_sand.png/revision/latest?cb=20161204202435
Is Spud really gone? Have I really just eliminated Spud? Sadly, the answer to both of these questions is: yes.
Spud and Rock had a great friendship, that much cannot be denied, but it did feel like Rock wasn't just in charge of the team, but he was the team. Spud took a backseat and wasn't very aware, and granted sometimes he came out of his shell and proved he had it in him to win some challenges, but it didn't really feel consistent and there was no pay-off. This shone through in the finale, when he was led to believe he was in the finale. And yes, that's his gag, but it only emphasises the fact that he didn't know what he was doing 99% of the time.

Now why is this so bad when the likes of Leonard could easily be eliminated in his place? Simple; the Rockers overstayed their welcome. Total Drama is a parody, a lot of the characters are just stereotypes and overplayed personalities, and Spud is a perfect example of such. And if they never amount to anything more, then that's when I believe it's fine to eliminate them early, which is why I enjoy Leonard for what he is - he's meant to be a gag, he's meant to be funny, and he was eliminated early both times so he didnt' outlast good characters.
The Rockers, however, did. They outlasted the Fashion Designers Bloggers, Mother and Daughter, and Geniuses (while arguably they were a gag, they had potential - a more focusssed intellectual and strategic approach in the form of Mary and Ellody would be a lot more interesting than the Rockers, in my opinion) and for what? They had no pay-off - no solid development.
That said, their characters alone were enjoyable and fun and that was needed with the tension and 'drama' between other teams. Also, they set up some sense of development with Spud yet never tapped into it fully, which will always be a tad annoying.

Spud was enjoyable and while he could've been so much more, they never managed to reach his potential, and he stayed over what were more interesting and worthy teams that could have done with staying in the game for over half a season like the Rockers did.

This is the first writeup of a TDRR character were I managed to focus more on the actual character, and not the team, which is testament to how standout Spud is

[Ant.]

yass

I almost final passed Noah and I lowkey dislike Justin as an antagonist but his development made him a scream

[Epic.]

Spud is a ****ing icon and him and Harold deserved Top 30 at least

[Ant.]

Let's not act as if Jo isn't a good character :nono:

[RileyH]

Spud is a ****ing icon and him and Harold deserved Top 30 at least

That is not correct

[Epic.]

. Spud: DoOOOoes this hurt? -twists Rock's ankle-
Rock: AAAAH
Spud: Oh sorry. DOooOOes THIS hurt?? -twists Rock's ankle-
Rock: AHHHH
Spud: Oh I get it! .....I dunno what I'm doing! :p

[RileyH]

Let's not act as if Jo isn't a good character :nono:

She's nowhere near as good as Leonard!

[Epic.]

She's nowhere near as good as Leonard!

You're right... Jo is twice as good! :hee:

[RileyH]

You're right... Jo is twice as good! :hee:

:oh:

[Ant.]

Ugh I HATE how I just can't enjoy comic relief characters solely for being comic relief </3

She's nowhere near as good as Leonard!

Leonard's NOT EVEN THAT GOOD!!!

[RileyH]

Leonard's NOT EVEN THAT GOOD!!!

shut up

[Ant.]

Jo had rivalry with Heather, Cameron, Anne Maria, Lightning, and Brick: which all ranged from fierce competitiveness to friendly competition. (Excluding the little cuts of beef she had with, well, everyone <3)
Jo also proven she could be a friendly face with Duncan.
Also the competitiveness with Heather shown that she could at least hold a penny to one of the best antagonists and competitors of Total Drama, which isn't really hard to believe when you consider Jo's alliances and strength

IDK there's just something great about Jo :love:

[Epic.]

Jo is Top 15

[Morgan.]

Harold
Harold was someone I completely, utterly despise don't from the moment we first met him on that dock in Total Drama Island. I think it's because I've met a lot of Harolds in my lifetime and had bad experiences with them and just couldn't be arsed watching another one on my screen. He kind of ruined Leshawna. And he is massively overrated.

[Epic.]

What an inspirational and under rated man Harold really is. Also I'm an embodiment of Harold and you've come across ME in your lifetime! :oh:

[Ant.]

Duncan and Justin currently being the only finalists is so surreal, but that may be because I've wandered into the depths of Deviantart and seen some questionable art about them

[Morgan.]

Right SO I forgot about this but it seems the rest of you have too and so my question is do people want this to continue because I'm more than happy to run it but if people really aren't interested then I don't mind stopping it. I mean Glenn was rarely active as it was and I always forgot about it but will happily run if others are willing :joker:

[Epic.]

I'd suggest restarting for Harold

[Morgan.]

I'm not restarting it because I'd just give up all hope :joker: If you want it restarting that bad then take the reign but if not then I'm keeping ha

[Morgan.]

This is rihturning

[RileyH]

restart ha with a new thread pls bc some of the taste in here, whew

[Morgan.]

restart ha with a new thread pls bc some of the taste in here, whew

Yeah I am going to
