Inspired by Shaun's BB one, this is for those on the forum that love Total Drama and it's cast! For those that aren't aware, this was it works.

There will be a set amount of "rankers" in the game, who I will choose from whoever is interested to take part. If you want to be a ranker, make sure you are committed to writing detailed write ups in the ranking, are active to take part, and have seen most or all series of Total Drama. I'm not sure how many watch, but that'll be determined shortly. There won't be more than 10. Double the amount of characters than other rankers will be nominated for elimination each round by one ranker (took in turns) - each ranker will then SAVE one housemate and ELIMINATE another, giving a writeup of 50 words minimum for them, which can be edited into their post at a later date if need be (however it must be before the round is over). I've lowered to 50 words because it's going to be much shortly and there's shorter seasons.

The nomination process needs to be done within 24 hours of the previous round ending or else the ranker will be skipped, they will also be skipped if they fail to submit their eliminate/save decisions.

Once it is the ranker's turn to nominate, he or she must PM me their characters they wish to put up. I will then find their corresponding icons and begin the round. Once the round begins, it is very much a first-come, first-served basis with who gets saved, and who gets axed, so it is important to get in early if you think someone you love is in danger!

Each ranker is given ONE #FinalPass which will guarantee the character of their choice into the Top 55. In addition, the rankers are given a #SaveAndReplace which can be used to save an additional character nominated and replace them with someone of their choice, this has ONE use also. Given the nature of the game, your #SaveAndReplace will have to be used quickly once a new round of nominations is announced, to make sure your chosen saved-housemate doesn't get eliminated by someone else. Once a #SaveAndReplace is announced by a Ranker, the round will freeze so the new "replacement" can be edited into the remaining nominees. You can only use your privileges on nominated housemates.

Once the top 20 are reached, each ranker will rank them from best to worst, with a small writeup and the average score will determine the final rankings. Each participant will have equal say.

2. RileyHollyoaks (#SAVEANDREPLACE + #FINALPASS LEFT)

Right, this is the final lineup. For clarification; each round you nominate 10 Total Drama characters for elimination. Send these to me through PM. Then the other 5 tankers choose one character to save, and one to eliminate. I'll make my nominations shortly. When you cut, you must write 50 words on why you cut them, too.

Zoey gets too much hate and has this ironic comedy to her stupidity at times. I also didn't like Mike's domestic abuse of her and felt quite sorry for her after the dozens of times he manipulated her in the malicious ways he did

21-12-2017, 05:33 PM

Cut Mike
Oh boy. As someone who isn't diagnosed mentally ill, I can't say much about Mike, but it doesn't take a genius to know he was handled AWFULLY. Plus, his relationship with Zoey is toxic. Offensive and awful representation, boring character, and has literally no redeeming qualities. Bye bye Mike!

Save Rock
Rock's objectively the best out of the ten nominated. His friendship with Spud was really cute and I loved how he knew how to motivate his teammate. A fun character with interesting interactions, and should definitely rank a lot higher.

Epic.

21-12-2017, 05:36 PM

Isn't our cut meant to be formatted like the ones in the BBUK rankdown?

Worst moment in the history of the show was the time Mike intentionally tried to kill Alejandro & Heather by giving them Fang's shark tooth for no reason but pure malice

Ant.

21-12-2017, 05:36 PM

Zoey was guilty by association. As much as I dislike Cameron, Cameron and Zoey's friendship was really cute. Also Zoey's friendship with Gwen and Duncan was really cute!! I just wish she was more independent of Mike

Honestly thank god that was the last moment we saw him, besides him making a few comments at Chef before Zoey rightfully took the sword from the stone! (Zoey's ending is the only true ending idc what anyone says!)

Hen please explain why!! He was absolute trash. 50 words really limited me as to what I could write but I genuinely despise him!! His presence completely ruined TDAS

So many characters were dumbed down to make him seem evil... like you're trying to tell me that pencil neck threatened and brought the Alejandro Burromuertos to his knees? That Heather couldn't overcome his tiny arms and was almost thrown into toxic waste because of him? That Courtney would be stupid enough to leave a chart around? And that Zoey wouldn't just listen to pretty much everyone's warnings about her boyfriend who has been acting very suspiciously?
Literally Mal wasn't antagonising at all... like wowie you broke someone's phone and games console? You're not an interesting villain you're just an asshole. Like arguably Mike is more antagonising given, as how Epic said previously, Mike pretty much left Alejandro and Heather to die and fend for themselves against a shark
He was just boring like who cares??? oh apparently u oops sorry hen
kill mike

Save Cody
He was kind of meh in the first season but he really grew on me in WT. It was interesting to see his own stalker tendencies turned right back around on him, and lowkey I think him and Sierra are kind of cute together. He's not one of my all-time faves, but he in no way deserves to go this early

Cut Cameron
He's just so irrelevant and I don't know how to even sum him up in 50 words. He was kind of tolerable in RI, and I did actually want him to win when it was down to him and Lightning. However, he became seriously dumbed down in AS "No Alejandro! Don't save me from falling down this hole, you might get me eliminated later!"

50 words is a minimum :joker:

Oh mess I thought it was maximum </3 Mike really limited me. Can I uncut Mike and let Epic unleash his wrath??

Ant.

21-12-2017, 06:27 PM

I said I liked Mike not Mal :nono:

The first point still applies because he's a stringbean who should NOT have overpowered a man of Alejandro's calibre, nor the woman who took Alejandro down (also Heather's arms are bigger than Mike's stomach so!)
The second point was a point about Mal but it developed into "Mike's worse in this aspect"
Third was about mike
Fourth? Kill mike

Morgan.

21-12-2017, 06:29 PM

Oh mess I thought it was maximum </3 Mike really limited me. Can I uncut Mike and let Epic unleash his wrath??

No :nono: I should've been clearer anyway, assumed people were familiar with the format.

Ant.

21-12-2017, 06:52 PM

No :nono: I should've been clearer anyway, assumed people were familiar with the format.

I am familiar, but I completely forgot and I panicked on the bus because I thought it had to be done by the afternoon, hence the panicked pm </3

Also I knew 50 words was too short but I figured you didn't want big long essays as to why Mike is the worst character </3 watch this space for my next cut!

Epic.

21-12-2017, 06:53 PM

Oh mess I thought it was maximum </3 Mike really limited me. Can I uncut Mike and let Epic unleash his wrath??

Yes hopefully. If so i'll let Lilbro do the Rodney write-up

Ant.

Save Sam : Honestly I'm not the biggest fan of Sam but he did have certain qualities that caused me to like him such as his kind personality. To me he's always been just kind of "meh" but he still was more relevant than Mary. I still don't think that he was an all-star though :skull:

Save Chet : When I started watching the Ridonculous Race I expected to hate him and his brother but I actually found them entertaining and funny. The whole thing with him being good at gymnastics was also pretty funny. The ending to his rivalry storyline to his brother was a nice end to a simple secondary storyline.

Cut Mary : Honestly I don't remember anything that she did besides snorting :joker: In the beginning of the season she literally said nothing, Ellody did all of the talking. Overall she was probably the single most irrelevant character in Ridonculous Race.

If they're not - you cannot save or eliminate until your writeup is completed. Taking that from Shaun's game :)

Cut Staci Sorry Morgan but this write-up is gonna have to be really short. There isn't really much to say about Staci, as she was only there for one episode but oh my GOD she was annoying. She was like a character that took no longer than 10 minutes to create and her actual purpose was just to annoy everyone. Her voice was annoying as well. And everything she said was about her family. And it was a lie. And her hair fell out. That's it. Bye.

I feel like I explained badly - so because you repaced Harold with Mike it left an extra character (11 instead of 10) so I phrased it as save 2 and eliminate 1 because the spare character would've been saved anyway.

I don't really have much to say about Chet apart from the fact I just found his character and the dispute with his stepbrother a little ... tedious and I feel like no difference would be shown to the show if he wasn't in it so all in all just a little bit pointless and someone that shouldn't been eliminated in the first set of nominations.

from a post before i've done on Total Drama wiki:

Loads of people are gonna use the whole "bland" or "offensive" complaint over and over again, so I'm not gonna go there too much since it's an overused topic. Basically Mike is uninteresting, inaccurate to his disorder, and a way too extreme portrayal of it to be considered appealing by a majority of people. But I think even not counting all that, Mike still utterly falls flat for me. Unlike virtually every other protagonist in the series (including Zoey), Mike just isn't able to make any appeal standalone. His MPD gags are repetitive, his relationship is paper-thin, etc.

He himself is also EASILY the most hateable and unlikeable of all the quote-unquote "heroic" characters they've had on this show. He goes on the show after being strongly advised by both his doctor AND his therapist that it's dangerous for him and everyone else involved, he straddles along TWO girls for his own gain and is too much of a coward to make up his mind and caused their conflict to begin with, he repeatedly b**ch talks people like Scott before even meeting them, he completely keeps his multiple personalities under wraps out of his own cowardice, and ALL of this is included with nothing but high dosages of his whingy, drippy self-pitying attitude, CONSTANTLY trying to justify or excuse why he does such vapidly morbid things by either a) bringing his 'personalities' into it or b) saying he doesn't want to hurt Zoey's feelings or something stupid like that. I genuinely think he's the worst human being the show's ever cast and if he's not gonna get called out on it or repeatedly get comeuppance for being such a scumstain then where's the appeal at all?

The pinnacle of his gross behavior is the time during the AS finale, in which he steals Fang's shark tooth and tosses it onto his OWN helper Alejandro on purpose for no reason but to look cool and spring away while screaming "HAHA, SEE YA CAM!" And THEY'RE meant to be the villains here? He's just such a disgusting animal, I can't with him. Get out.

Save Sadie
https://i.ytimg.com/vi/33vDNcp9BCE/hqdefault.jpg
There's always been a certain charm I have for Katie and Sadie. Their friendship was so cliche yet cute, and their petty arguing in The Sucky Outdoors was low-key hilarious ("And I'm sorry I said your butt was too big for the bus seat!" "You did?!" "Well not to your face..." :joker: ). Luckily, they got over the argument in a nice, cute way. Sadie's reaction to Katie's elimination and Katie's motivational speech to her before she left is where I started to gravitate towards the both of them.

There was just something human about their friendship, which was apparent despite their lack of screentime. Most of the other friendships were never really explained or developed and were either shown once (Gwen and Bridgette) or not at all (Courtney and LeShawna) and in both of the aforementioned cases, we never see the reaction to their friends' eliminations. Sadie being upset to the point of clinging onto the dock and her excitement of seeing Katie again just felt so real, and of course their friendship was bound to be stronger than the other friendships formed since they were best friends for years, but that doesn't take away the charm of their friendship, especially since some TDRR teams who were in essentially the same boat as them didn't have that charm, which is why I believe Katie and Sadie stand out (and should've been in TDRR).
While we never saw them compete in any season besides TDI, they were the stars of the aftermaths. They certainly felt like the most vocal in the peanut gallery (at least, out the non-qualifiers) and their enthusiasm and fangirling were always a welcome presence to me, and left me wanting more (which we sadly never got </3)

Most of this writeup has been about Sadie and Katie, but they're both important parts of their character. That's not to say Sadie isn't her own character. She took on board Katie's advice and really put her all into the challenges despite how badly affected she was by Katie's departure. Sadly, she took a backseat once Katie left, which is a shame since she shown promise and whatever screentime she had proved she could be entertaining and her own character without Katie, and we haven't seen them separated since.

This is a incoherent mess, I'm aware, but I just have this weird attraction to Sadie. She is DEFINITELY the best out of the ten nominated, at least in my opinion. There's more they could do with her character, and it's such a shame she never returned to compete again. Or maybe I'm just a hardcore Dundie fan who is obsessed with the crack ship (so much so my own rumour was noticed by Christine Thompson who debunked it </3)

Well Jay's gone, so why not?

The Adversity Twins are people I don't have an exact opinion on. Their gag felt very Total Drama-esque, given how obsessed Total Drama is with pain and hurting teenagers, and while it should've been funny, I just... couldn't care?

There's not much to say to be honest. They were just... there. What I did find funny is their rankings - placing mostly 12th (and 12th overall, as well as appearing in twelve episodes), which was foreshadowed by them saying something along the lines of being "unlucky, or whatever becomes before thirteen".
And while that was funny, it wasn't. Yes, it was ironic and a nice tidbit, but they didn't provide much to the series. Their friendship with the Sisters was short lived, and sadly that was the only noteworthy aspect of the Adversity Twins (and then Emma got them eliminated lmao). I suppose the redeeming quality of them is that they overcame so much, but that point was only really made during their elimination - they never made a big deal about how well they've done given circumstances, and for that I just... couldn't care? If they visibly struggled and there was a clear narrative as to how strong they became, I would hold a higher opinion on them, but yeah, just very boring.

What rubs salt into the wound is the fact that teams with more potential that should've made it further than they did didn't, most notably Mother and Daughter, the Fashion Designers, and the Geniuses (I'm always going to be petty about the Genius' - if we got to see a more logical and intelligent approach to such a physical competition I would be very interested in that point of view, especially since Noah was too busy gushing over Emma to fill that slot once they left). Characters like Staci and Leonard are somewhat enjoyable as their gags are short lived and not repeated, but sadly the same can't be said about the Twins. Such a shame, really, if they got time to develop a cliche storyline about overcoming fears and adversity (it's literally in their name) they would be higher in my rankings, but yeah... they're nothing special or noteworthy.

The Adversity Twins are about as mediocre as you can get, which is actually a good thing because otherwise I was expecting to hate these two. I thought their sad music and them always feeling sorry for themselves would get old very quick and they would last way too long to be tolerable. Thankfully these two weren't an utter disgrace so hooray! Even though I thought they really lacked personality, why I hold them in low regard to begin with, the gags they had themselves were pretty funny and they weren't in the forefront of the season enough for it to get annoying. They're really nothing special and I'd probably forget about them really quick but there's nothing too horrible to complain about with them. Far worse contestants Riley could've nominated and I'm echoing what Lilbro's words on Mickey were here. Overall they lasted a bit too long but aren't bad or anything. They definitely have their moments here and there but them and especially The Stepbrothers (both of which need to **** off asap fyi) lasting as long as they did over the Bloggers? The Vegans? Kelly and Taylor?? It's a little ludicrous. I cut Jay instead of Mickey because he always struck me as the saner member of the two which makes him look a little whinier and I feel Mickey does that funnier since he's more gimmicky and comical about it.

Wasted potential???? I get why people wouldn't like him because of how crazy and annoying he is but wasted potential would imply he didn't envoke his character enough, but that's just objectively false because of how much potential they actually put to use; his anxiety attacks, a messy destructive romance with Sky, his descent from being level-headed to being the craziest, etc. It's fine to not like any of this but they clearly knew what direction to take him in and how to release it properly.

Lightning's dynamic with Jo was literally the only good thing about him in TDROTI. Once she went he was trash and that's that

(also I still dont understand his beef with Cameron?? Like wow he accidentally took your invincibility but you didn't go so why spend the next two episodes the way u did Lightning??)

Also surely Lightning would've been the best target for Cameron and Zoey to eliminate when Scott was eliminated?? Scott wasn't going to heal drastically, or at all, by the time of the next challenge, so the next challenge would've been pretty much impossible for Scott and Zoey and Cameron would've won essentially by default

Scott is literally the only character that I liked more in AS

Then again he was ****ing awful in ROTI and not even that good a villain

He's like the only example of a character that got derailed good....

ROTI Scott was manipulative and blackmailed Mike and was just an awful person (yet still better than Mike).

TDAS Scott was hilarious, sympathetic, and somewhat nice? (I can't name one malicious thing he did)
It was awful to see Chris and Cameron use his phobia of sharks against him (and arguably Lightning and Duncan). It was really insensitive, especially after what Scott went through

To be honest, I respect the gameplaying he went with. Did it make no sense? No, but I see why he did it. His team had a genius in B, an animal whisperer/aura reader (When a lot of the wildlife are hostile this is VERY useful, apparent in 'Ice Ice Baby', and being able to read people is very useful), athletes Brick, Jo, and Lightning (welp at essentially a third of the second generation cast being jocks </3 Zoey's worst nightmare) and chatty Staci (aint a threat but I would throw 101 challenges to have the chance to eliminate her). Oh and Dakota was there too. And Sam.
All of these would be extreme targets when it's each for their own at the merge, and the other team weren't that threatening (Cameron's brain was a major threat yes, and Zoey suddenly became a powerhouse but that was during Scott's elimination episode, but besides that the Maggots were pretty generic and didn't have a unique skillset that would really threaten Scott) so by winning challenges, there's gonna be less generic people in the merge, and more people with strengths that give themselves a major advantage (/Courtney) over Scott.

Now how is this flawed?? Well, in pretty much every way lmao. He risks elimination each time he throws a challenge. It became clear as to why he stopped throwing challenges in TDAS (ESPECIALLY when his team was clearly superior in strength. The heroes only had Sierra and Zoey once Courtney swapped and for some reason Sierra and Zoey's strength only came into play sometimes)

When discussing the teams, I just remembered the very odd team swaps of TDROTI. Brick joined the Rats, Scott and Jo swapped, Dakota ended up joining the Maggots... in the space of like, eight episodes welp.

An analogy I just thought of Rodney to be is what I would have expected Chad Johnson to be in CBB20 - womanising showmancer. Luckily, Chad was way more complex than this, but Rodney wasn't.
Rodney gushed over every woman of his team (besides Sammy, which was probably done to emphasise the idea that Amy is the 'prettier' twin but like... coolio) and honestly? That's all he did.

TDPI is a great season imo, however too many characters rely on gags (Leonard, Beardo, Ella, Shawn, Max, for example) and sadly, he didn't develop his own story or character outside of the showmances (Shawn's relationship with Jasmine and him facing his fear of Zombies and Max's gag playing well with Scarlett AND his dynamic with Scarlett AND his babysitting abilities are examples of what he could've been) to make him more enjoyable, but nope, he's just a boring whose screentime consists of crushing on girls and girls only.

Luckily, he was eliminated 4th, and while Leonard would've been a better 4th placer than Rodney (IMO Leonard's gag was just overall more interesting and bearable) he didn't go over anyone too interesting (besides maybe Amy, but I fail to see how else her elimination could've placed her)

To sum up, there's not much to be said about Rodney. A character who didn't exactly overstay his welcome in terms of how long he was in the season and who preceeded him, but overstayed his welcome by three episodes due to how unbearable and boring his crushes got.

No I compared Rodney to what I expected Chad to be like but I fell in love with Chad and believe him to be the 2nd/3rd best housemate of CBB20! (Behind Sarah and Karthik)
I was expecting Chad to be someone who fell in love with women every other day based on his comments in the DR on the first night and his crushes on Amelia and attempts to flirt with Brandi but I was thankfully wrong! Chad deserved 3rd at least

i need to stop being so late :skull: buttttt

Save Taylor : Okay Taylor is one of those characters that I don't have a big reason for liking. I mainly like Taylor because I usually like "the teenage girl" archetype :skull: I found her quite funny even though she was a bit much sometimes. Even though I liked her, i felt like her character was a bit one-note and her elimination was timed nicely. The cartoonish ending of the storyline with her mother fit her exaggerated archetype and I quite liked it.

Cut Lightning : I actually like Lightning and I low key wanted him to win over Cameron in the ROTI Finale BUT I feel like his character was a disappointment. I felt like he was not consistent, as in ROTI, he was a floater, (although justified bc he's athletic) comic relief character with a sudden hatred for Cameron near the end for a ridiculous reason. I thought he was pretty entertaining but he did have a few flaws that I've noticed watching through. Sadly I just think its just down to bad character writing, with the "Cam-Lightning" conflict being lazily thrown together to justify his place in the finale. However, I liked him a lot more in AS and like Taylor, his elimination was timed perfectly (and it was his best episode).

One of the noms might be just that because I think they hugely suck and don't deserve their mass following.

wow this does not give me hope for your noms

I'm fine with them all as characters but i don't get the appeal in them as couples. Courtney and Scott was a weird relationship that didn't really have any chemistry to it and a really weird owner/dog problem. It can be a little cute for a couple to treat one like a pet but not when it's a constant thing. This is more an issue I have with Scott since Courtney was always an abusive monster to men, because they really bitched him up for this.

Sam and Dakota is a nothing relationship. Dakota got eliminated and then was just making all these short appearances with short interactions with Sam and they got together because... she helped him with fashion and he liked her even when she mutated? There was so little development and I just don't care.

I passionately HATE the Are You Tyler joke.

don't go to their deviantart. I beg of you.
Total Drama presents: The Ridonculous Race proved that Fresh TV could churn out a cast rich in quality and quantity. However, like any cast, some characters were hit and miss - and that's to be expected, given the fact this introduced the most characters in any season ever, at 32.

Most of the misses (Tammy, Jerry and Pete, and the Vegans) left early, and because of this, they remained enjoyable - their gag didn't become overplayed and unbearable and they didn't stay over characters that are more interesting (Mother and Daughter, Fashion DESIGNERS).

Then comes along the Stepbrothers. They may have been funny in the 00's (Emma's "pwn'd" comment just proves we had decade old humour in this spinoff) but I just couldn't imagine myself ever laughing at them, no matter if I was as young or younger as TDRR's target audience.
The Stepbrothers were so annoying. They appeared in over half a season and their only interactions were with each other until after their elimination. Now, yes, they are in a competition against everyone else, but the team eliminated before them (Jay and Mickey) had interactions with the Sisters, and the team that placed ahead of them (Dawyne and Junior) had interactions with the Best Friends and the Surfers - basically, pretty much every team (at least, that made it to the point they did in the competition) had interactions and life outside of their teams.
And yet they placed higher than many (I'd say objectively, but I'd argue factually) better teams (Fashion Designers, Mother and Daughter, hell even the Vegans were better!) who could have had more development in a similar manner to the Stepbrothers, but development that make them into actually enjoyable characters?

It was clear they were supposed to become civil towards the end of the competition - it was an apparent narrative from the getgo. But did it really need to take half a season? Half a season of tedious arguments over tiny things? And then, when they do become friends and set aside their differences, they just become obnoxious. Remember Cody's air guitar confessional back on TDI? That was essentially Chet and Lorenzo's character for the two episodes they got along for... and it was still boring. The decade old humour was NOT worth the half-season build up and NOT worth seeing better teams leave over them for.

I appreciate some storylines require time to develop (which is why the 13 episode seasons fall flat), but some also, well, don't. If they made up by episode 6 and were eliminated, there would be literally no difference or impact to how enjoyable they are (hint: they're not enjoyable, at all, any nothing will change that). I just didn't find myself rooting for them, nor for their reconciliation, so over half a season worth of arguing over the price of butter just felt so... wasted and awful. There was no pay off, and while there wouldn't be a pay-off no matter how long it took (be it 2 episodes or 26), they placed too high, and I will forever be bitter about that.

Now that was a writeup for the Stepbrothers. So what about Lorenzo? Well... nothing. They aren't individual. Before making up, they acted and argued the same. Then, after they made up, they became more unified, made clear by how they spoke in time and shared the same ideas. They share the same personality, and it's not endearing like Katie or Sadie, oh no no no. It's just... boring and awful.

I also do NOT appreciate how they were like one of the three teams to speak in the finale. Don't force them down my throat again.

I don't REEALLLYYY care for him all that much, but I like him better than Sam sorry. He was kind of funny in PI with his zombie obession though it did start to get old eventually. Him and Sky honestly wouldn't be my pick for the Final 2 of that season but imo he's the more deserving winner over her

Cut Sam
He's just.... not interesting? Sure he had that cute plot with Dakota and all but when he was in no way an All-Star and served pretty much no purpose at all in that season other than being the bad comic relief. I still don't understand why they brought him back instead of someone better from the 2nd cast like Brick or Anne Maria

It sorta made sense since they had to make up for the fact AS only had 13 episodes and the cast needed more time to shine, but it was still annoying

Owen not being in AS kinda made sense since he appeared in TDRR, but it just felt wrong to say Duncan was the only original male camper. As much as I dislike Harold, he would've been WAY better than Sam

Ant.

24-12-2017, 05:51 PM

Harold or Owen easily could've filled Sam's comic relief pain magnet early boot shtick far better and funnier and plus it would've made his random conflict with Alejandro in Food Fright make more sense since Harold and Owen both have an established conflict with him, and it would've been great to hear either say "It's not breakfast anymore Alejandro... it's dinner time‼"

Owen would've annihilated Food Fright and its annoying we never got to see his interactions with Alejandro after finding out his true intentions </3

Harold being robbed of a ROTI cameo AND an AS appearance was WRONG. I was lowly expecting a Sam vs Sierra finale, but we got the worst finale instead

Ant.

24-12-2017, 05:55 PM

wtf no way i thought she was replaced by Sam? MESS :skull::skull::skull:

Christine said it was Gwen. Also as Epic said I believe she confirmed Brick was meant to be in the season but I dont know who he was replaced by, but it was most likely Sam

Brick is like the epitome of a hero (more so than Sam) and Sam was maybe heroic in episode 4 of ROTI but?? Why they thought Sam was a better character over Harold, Brick or Owen eludes me.

If they actually made something of his character that's be cook but he underperformed and did worse than his previous season which was just... odd

Christine said it was Gwen. Also as Epic said I believe she confirmed Brick was meant to be in the season but I dont know who he was replaced by, but it was most likely Sam

It was confirmed Brick was replaced because they thought Sam was more "plot-relevant", which makes absolutely no sense considering he had nothing to speak of

I save Duncan instead of Legend Dave because of Riley being a ****ing idiot

Oh wait Duncan already got final passed and Dave already got cut so neither of what me and Riley said is valid

I'll save Laurie instead since I think Dwayne has a good shot of staying

Dave
Dave, Dave, Dave, where do I start? I wasn't a fan of the whole germaphobe thing because, like, although it made a character actually 3 Dimentional I feel like sometimes it was just really extreme (more than it should be) and just didn't like it. I cant remember much else about him though - didn't he have, like, a showmance or something with Sky but it went horribly wrong?

He was just boring and moody and sad

Dave hate is so OTT and he's one of the biggest characters in PI and it astounds me how unpopular he is

I personally actually like Dave. While he's kind of been slipping from my positive view lately, I would still say he was intriguing to watch from a psychosis point of view when it came to Skave. I'm also going to be in the really small minority here and say that up until he became in love with Sky, I actually DIDN'T like him like others did. While other people saw a relatable normal person in a cast of crazy people, all I saw was a really annoying buzzkill who just had to give their two cents and ruin the fun for everyone (and he wouldn't stop belieeeeving in Leonard either).

Thankfully Dave eventually became crazy due to becoming obsessed with Sky. Now I don't really need to go into detail about why Skave is so great but the point I will make is that Skave is a series of tragic misunderstandings between two people who started out pretty run of the mill, but then Dave takes his crush too far and tries completely idiotic means to gain her attraction in him that the old Dave wouldn't do at all, while Sky gets herself caught in this crush and is struggling to tell the truth that she has a boyfriend. I thought it was an exceptional plotline, and for a season that some people complain is "unrealistic" I think Skave was actually a perfectly realistic two-sided attraction that gave the saddening viewpoint that yes, some of your attractions will end in a horrible scenario. And you'll probably either be attracted too much, or toy with someone's emotions because your emotions are all over the place. I guess the only issue I do have with Skave is that it almost completely limits what Dave and Sky's actions are throughout the season, much like Topher's interaction with Chris. But considering it's a much better storyline, I can cut it some slack.

I guess people just miss the point of good writing :shrug:

He was just boring

I used to dislike Dave a lot, given that he's a horrible toxic abomination of a person. But then I had an epiphany when I realized...

That's the point.

Dave's sanity slippage and descent into an increasingly terrible person is actually really interesting and engaging to watch. I don't understand accusations that he was "derailed" because it was actually built up quite well. His skave plot is brilliant because it's almost Total Drama deconstructing itself; it starts off just like things like Zoke and Nemma where it's made blatantly obvious they're going to be a couple, but then spectacularly plays with your expectations. Even when you think you know how things are going to go down he and his plot just end up going even more downhill than before.

I also quite like the irony of the most normal character ending up the most unstable.

That said I'm not exactly his biggest advocate. Sometimes his plot is just too dark to enjoy and he can be hard to watch at times, and he's somewhat grating at some moments.

I'll end this by saying his confessional in the finale is a big canidate for most memorable TDPI line

For those confused, the finale confessional is "I'm gonna make sure Sky wins. This is how all great love stories end; the guy gets the girl, the girl gets the money... that came out wrong :skull: "

I guess it just depends, while you were surprised by Dave's (and Nemma??) plot I just... wasn't. He was labelled as the "nice guy" in some trailers leading up to the release of PI and he made some big deal about how normal and nice he is so when Sky was hesitant about her feelings, I just knew Dave would become entitled and a toxic mess and I just... don't like watching that

I can understand what his character is, but understanding his character and hating him and his traits (and just not enjoying his presence on screen) =/= missing the point of good writing

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/totaldramaisland/images/7/7f/Ezekiel_TDI_Rank.png/revision/latest?cb=20140208174344

Ezekiel started off the very first Total Drama season as a bit of a non-factor during his first two and only episodes. Although he seemed to not cause any problems, his sexist comments towards the end of the second episode caused him to be the first camper eliminated over Courtney. Without his stupid comments, he would've definitely survived the first bonfire ceremony as he wasn't anyone's target for elimination. When he came back for Total Drama World Tour, he was much more confident as he kept stating that he won't be eliminated and how he'll win this time around, much to Chris's and Chef's annoyance. However, he was eliminated first again but manages to get back on the plane and "re-enter" the competition after Duncan quits. Ironically, he then becomes the first contestant eliminated from TDWT after his team loses. He then manages to hold on to a part of the plane after he is thrown off and eliminated. During the course of this season, Ezekiel starts appearing more in a gross, mutated state constantly lurking behind different objects. In Heather's ending for the finale, he steals the prize money case by attacking her, and falls into the lava with it. He is trash for this because he ruined the best Total Drama winner's ending </3. After somehow surviving being submerged in lava, he makes various other appearances throughout the next two seasons as a mutated Gollum knockout. In Revenge of the Island, he caused our Anne Maria to quit by giving her a fake diamond </3. Overall, Ezekiel is a character that had potential as a returnee but was just used as an ironic joke. His transformation into a gross mutation was a symbol of how little the writers cared about him. :skull:

The girl was complex from a few episodes, way more developed and human than anyone in the ROTI cast. Her mutation was a slap in the face to everyone and was a stupid way of establishing that Dakota could be happy with who she was inside and that she could be loved for who she was inside ESPECIALLY when Sam was doing just that... And Sam just ended up finding her appearance beautiful anyway (which isn't problematic or bad and it's cute but it takes away what I imagine they were going for)

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/totaldramaisland/images/7/79/Tennis_rivals_out.png/revision/latest?cb=20161130000512

Gerry and his partner were a pair contestants that already looked like elimination fodder. I like how they were older contestants because it was new for Total Drama to incorporate different ages into a series. Gerry in particular seemed like the more spontaneous one of the two. He was less moral than Pete, even pushing Pete off a zip line in the first episode. He was also the reason why they were eliminated as one of his feet were outside of the carpet, to which he argued with Chris about. Overall, Gerry was a slightly crazy but one-note character that was never meant to be a big contribution to the series.

https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/totaldramaisland/images/2/24/Tammy_DipDap.png/revision/latest/scale-to-width-down/270?cb=20170201123807

Tammy and her LARPing team are okay enough characters. It's great to have a team like this be a human shield for teams to prosper in the future as a result; even the Tennis Rivals and Geniuses got some kind of development to an extent. But the LARPers were used simply for a comic relief first boot and for how they did it, it was still pretty funny. Tammy doesn't really speak that much but when she was doing something I actually quite liked it; like trying to do a ~TIME REVERSAL SPELL~ when her team came in last, or physically assaulting the Goths and the Adversity Twins and Leonard with confetti. But since I don't really dislike that many Total Drama characters to begin with, and seeing as I don't have as much strong feelings for her as others, it's unfortunately her time.
