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.

I will get this updated tonight hopefully.

Glenn seems really lovely and I had to bad-talk a Heather stan but he hates Courtney AND he hasn't voted in these past 2 days so honestly?? What am I to think

lol

If I'm correct I need writups for Tammy and Amy AND need Glenn to turn up?

well this is going swimmingly

69. Tammy
https://vignette.wikia.nocookie.net/...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.

:joker::joker:

I've PM'd Glenn too :fist:

If I were you I'd remove Glenn for truancy

And the fact he hates Courtney!

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...

Thank you! Glenn-C to nominate!

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 :)

Amy was a ****ing scream @'I'M TELLIIIINNG'

she also dragged that scumbag Samey to filth and deserves every ounce of credit for it

A legend! :love:

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.

Harold (TDI, TDA, TDWT) • Justin (TDI, TDA) • Noah (TDI, TDWT, TDRR) • Scott (TDROTI, TDAS) • Zoey (TDROTI, TDAS) • Jo (TDROTI, TDAS) • Leonard (TDPI, TDRR) • Max (TDPI) • Carrie (TDRR) • Spud (TDRR)

Please make your saves and cuts. If you haven't yet done a write up for the previous round then please don't make your decision until you've done so. Thank you.

And whilst I am here I am saving Scott (sorry Leonard and Carrie) and cutting Harold (just hoping others cut Justin, Noah, Zoey and Spud!).

save Zoey cut Max

someone save Justin and Carrie

Final Pass Justin, cut Spud

First of all **** you I was planning to final pass that goddess

Save Carrie Cut Noah trash

yass

Harold is one of the best characters ever :fist:

save jo cut leonard!

63. Spud
https://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net...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

This + your love of Max :flutter:

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

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

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

That is not correct

.

She's nowhere near as good as Leonard!

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

:oh:

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

Leonard's NOT EVEN THAT GOOD!!!

shut up
