I guess it just depends, while you were surprised by Dave's (and Nemma??) plot I just... wasn't.

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

[Epic.]

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 "

Glenn save Miles and cut Pete please!

[Morgan.]

I will get this updated tonight hopefully.

[Ant.]

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

[Morgan.]

[Morgan.]

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

69. Tammy


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.

[Morgan.]

I've PM'd Glenn too

[Epic.]

If I were you I'd remove Glenn for truancy

She's nowhere near as good as Leonard!

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

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

[Epic.]

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!

[Morgan.]

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.

save Zoey cut Max
