Every Total Drama Season: Worst to Best 

I agree

Afaik that is far from an unpopular opinion lol

The bleeps are the original version

The bleeped version is great and the edited version sucks. Seriously, I can’t watch the American versions of the first three seasons due to all the edits and censorship. I prefer to watch the original versions that are available on the show’s RU-vid channel.

He really does but somehow my dumbass simped for the design of him and his voice

Stolen comment

@@xnortheast1106 yeah..?

@@xnortheast1106 I was just saying my opinion on him, and I haven’t looked in these comments. but sure whatever u say.

@@detectivehailey huh

That’s a good point, but Owen had a way better spot on All Stars. Owen could’ve possibly(?) made that season a little bit better..? I just think that Owen is an insanely iconic character, and I like brick, but Owen is amazing.

Both owen and brick Was going to be all Star

@@Unlimited013 i think the reason why they didn't bring owen back to all stars (despite being one of the best performing players of all time) is cause he just had too much screentime i think they would've brought him back had he not rejoined in action for no reason and went farther than he should've in world tour too but yeah adding sam over brick is pretty inexcusable; sam's chill and i don't dislike him but he is absolutely not an all star

i think he actually deserves one of the finalists in roti.. BUT DEFINITELY THEY SHOULD'VE PUT BRICK IN ALL STARS😔😔

Agreed. Brick would've made Return so much better

yeah, harold was actually a really solid competitor that season. seeing him and duncan face off wouldve been far better than beth

Yeah. Harold was robbed in Action.

It's so weird how they are with lore. Sometimes they have amazing attention to detail like this, and other times they can't even decide things like the length of time between Island and Action

I thought Beth was inadvertently implying that Chris was the person who dropped the other ice skater.

I never noticed that

The ice dancers mentioned that they fell at the Olympics, but Trent said it was a show and Beth confirmed my saying that they got immunity which you can’t get at the Olympics.

@@Dafawfulizer Funnily enough, though this may sound unbelievable, I actually attempted to book an interview with Christian Potenza, Kristin Fairlie and Megan Fahlenbock recently but their agents all turned me down. Just to clarify, this was part of a passion project I had in mind where I wanted to interview several members from the cast about their experiences on the show, how they got on the show and how the show was made. While them turning me down was not surprising, I was saddened by Kristin not wanting to do an interview particularly because Bridgette was my favourite character and I feel she should have made it furhter than she did in all of her seasons. I know I could have tweeted her, but I wanted to tell this to her face because: 1. I was really surprised to find out she was the voice of many other cartoon characters I grew up with (Emma from Stoked and Little Bear being examples). 2. I hoped to ask her for a digital autograph from at least one of them instead of having to send a letter,s elf-addressed stamped envelope and photo to autograph over the mail. I hope I can find at least one former cast member who would be willing to give me a chance for an interview.

Unpopular opinion, but it's actually my favourite season ever. There was constant action and drama that comes with what an adventure-like format like the Amazing Race offers, so you're not left with much moments of stiffness like you would in other seasons. It's for that reason I'd argue Ridonculous has the best replay value of any season, because you're always knee-deep with the characters' action-packed challenges in what feels like real-time circumstances what with the "race to avoid last place" formula.

Yeah its definitely underrated

Finally someone agrees with me

It was a great idea and they made it amazing. Amazing cast, great host, and amazing challenges.

The goths are my favorite. They're stereotypes, but done in a fun and enjoyable way.

they hate heather but she has plot armor soo

I agree but Heather will always be iconic

Yeah, Scott can't be the second weakest villain when we look at Justin from Action or any of Pahkitew's villains if I could even count them as villains.

I feel like Scott is one of the better characters

Scott's antagonistic approach in season four is very similar to that of real life Survivor contestant Russell Hantz. Both of them easily found the immunity idol and used it to divert votes from themselves, both of them orchestrated the eliminations of several competitors, both were the main antagonist in their debut season, both have sabotaged other competitors' personal belongings, both threw team challenges, both were placed on the Villains team in the second season they competed, both came in third place in their second season, and both were ultimately eliminated as the result of several competitors teaming up and voting them off. In addition Hantz was dubbed as one of the "most devious villains" in the show when the season was promoted. My point scott plan is based on real life person, who did the same thing

​@@Melvinshermen and Scot pulled of the intentional Matsing!

@@AsraliaX2my point is scott is sort based on real person. Who did kinda the same Thing. ( ok i am not mush reality-tv Guy ) but what i heard Russell hantz was a Guy in survivor. Who want to lose by get off his team. Like get rid of his team whatever. And point the Guy video is saying Why would he ruin his team. Because again i ment parody of real life person There are few different like Russell got like alliance, and people that he want get rid are people he demm a threat

*sticks camera up ear*

​@lizard-izard nah it zooms in to his forehead, he straight up noclips it through

The Camera Man is an absolute legend, so Chris getting him on the TD team was a great opportunity that they took full advantage of.

bahaha fr

Camera man never dies

Yeah, the contestants definitely felt like a community in Island. In fact, the scene I remember the most is the shot a the end of the Island intro where the contestants sit around the campfire (with Chris standing nearby), Gwen and Trent try to kiss but Cody (who has a crush on Gwen) interrupts and everyone whistles awkwardly. While most if not all of these contestants fought with each other at one point or another, this scene emphasised the familial feeling they somehow seemed to share deep down.

Yeah season one was definitely the most chilled season and the most realistic imo

Action was also chill

@@bevanborges4047 bro_

@@matineeman3038 What?

Yeah, I agree. Her arc in the first season was great, but then, after the second season, she became an asshole for no reason, it felt so weird

Courtney's character got done dirty. She started out as the bossy know it all, and whenever she was allowed to ease up and cut loose, she got betrayed in some fashion. Happened in season 1 when Harold screwed her over on the votes when she JUST started having fun, World Tour she got screwed over by Duncan and Gwen going behind her back, and they were both leading her on like nothing was going on and trying to figure out how to get rid of her once she did find out. In All Stars her potential OCD did her in. Making those stupid lists and being exploited by Mal to make the remaining cast turn on her. TDA she was just the straight up antagonist. Always trying to flex with legal action against everyone isn't a respectable image. I felt bad for Courtney in season 1 and World Tour. The rest of the time she was done in by just being nasty and bitter.

What OCD? She's just really organised

SAME ITS SUCK AN UNDERRATED SEASON TBH

Such

It ain't underrated, but I love the first season, but I think it's ties with world tour. The songs are to good

@@nathanterho-streck5546 I think it’s honestly better than world tour. Cuz In world tour some characters roles got worse like leshawna, Bridgett, Dj, Harold, Gwen, and Duncan. Speaking of Gwen and Duncan the love triangle was very unnecessary and really unlikable towards the community. Because of this reason I feel like it’s Under total drama island. Cuz In total drama island everyone’s characters was just perfect and no relationship was recked. It felt just right. But world tour does have its positivities like Noah, Tyler, heathers character development and Alejandro’s villain arc.

@@imasnake9798Yeah, i didn’t really like the courtney-gwen-duncan thing

That could be right! Speaking of weak, 1 word. Duncan. WHAT DID THEY DOOOOO? He got sent to jail, so he probably won't be in the new reboot. This upsets me, and the arc made no sense being there. It was pointless.

@@youdontknowme2717 oh there will be a new reboot? wow

@@youdontknowme2717 Wow amazing thanks i didnt know that !!! :)))

@@youdontknowme2717 so the reboot is supposed to be Atleast 5 years later so Duncan is probably already out because he got arrested for either vandalism or arson which are usually only 2-5 year charges in the first place

Who's the contestant?

sounds like russell but justin did not give me russell vibes

Russel Hantz? Can't b! Respectfully I disagree. 1. I never saw Justin as a villain. 2. He never sabotaged his team. 3. He had a heart. He was truly upset when Owen was unfairly kicked out and when his jaw was broken. Just like he was disgusted by Alejandro when he slammed Cody 2 the sharks in World Tour finals.

Well if that's the case, they second guessed themselves and brought in a derailed Courtney that was at her absolute worst!

@@somedork7389 i agree russell and scott share more similarities

Ezekiel was bullied in world tour tbh, and the writers made him feral probably to just upset fans of him.

while sierra is annoying, she did do some cool stuff. the little plot line that she was playing heather because she was a fan of the show and knew that heather was playing her was cool, and she helped my boy cody a lot as well. but yeah overall she isnt amazing or anything, and putting her in TDAS was a mistake lmao

World Tour is the best and worst season. I like Gwuncan as a ship, but the way it was handled was weird. DJ's curse was a cheap way of eliminating other characters, and Ezekiel just didn't deserve what happened to him.

Same ngl liked that and Island and All Stars the most

Yay,a fellow sierra hater!

😭

FR💀

This alone makes Zoey one of the worst characters in the series

Zoey after watching Mal brutally murder everyone infront of her: I'm starting to think Mike isn't Mike

@@BritishRepublicsn There was so much evidence and she just realised when he said he gave her a bracelet

Her and Owen getting handcuffed together was the highlight of their dynamic.

@@WolfEntertainment It was🤣🤣

Fr! She’s so underrated comedy wise. And in a weird way she’s a good straight man while still being absurdly mean.

@@Gemnist98 wow I kinda respect you for it never say it again

i saw once someone saying that they had a headcanon for that but they said that Trent used medication in TDI but he forgot to bring his medication with him for TDA and that's why on the aftermath he was TDI Trent again

@@zemiguel8261 oh that was on the ranking Trent video I saw that too lol

@@zemiguel8261ohhhh, that makes a lot of sense

Yeah, but at the end of the episode Geoff says that he didn't actually vote for Bridgette, which makes the vote totals make no sense.

@@Dafawfulizer I assume that the vote was split 4-3-3. Izzy or anyone on the girls team could’ve prob voted her just because or Geoff has to be lying

@@prouddamienstanI figured that Geoff was lying about that to save face from Bridgette. Next episode Geoff was seen crying in the confessional all morning over losing Bridgette which I assumed was because he felt guilty for her elimination.

I also think another of its strengths was the 2 person team format because that way it both gives interesting/individual dynamics & personalities for each team to have so they can get a nice level of characterization (even with the early eliminations you get a general personality to them). It also lets the more exaggerated architypes not seem as annoying, like Lenord is way less annoying here because his antics only hinder himself as opposed to a larger group. Additionally they moved from just doing teen archetypes to a larger range of archetypes to chose from.

I wish Dakota and Sam were a team though

Honestly ridonculous race definitely felt more like a return to form of season 1 while keeping the flow of pace quick of later seasons but not rushed like them, saying that cause season 1 felt a bit more like a slow burn with it's pacing. The only gripe I do have with it is Devon, he just got really annoying for me even after he got over being dumped. Aside from that, solid show worth binging, 8/10.

@@MusicFan752 I loved RR, my only qualm was that they had ELEVEN non-eliminationchallenges

@@Naomi-xu4hq to be fair don did say there were 26 challenges within the race for one million dollars and to meet that quota in a matter of speaking had to have 11 non elimination rounds to keep with the 26 challenges. I’m honestly fine with it cause it does give us more time with the contestants and doesn’t actually feel dragged out weirdly enough, but I do understand your qualms to it.

Same! I always felt he and Courtney are finalist material one season

I so wish he could've stayed a couple episodes longer in World Tour. He was by far his funniest in that season.

Noah is one of the none ruined characters ngl

@@k-leb4671 If he made it to the top 4 in WT instead of Sierra that season is the best of all time

My favourite was Bridgette and it's a shame she didn't even have a cameo in The Ridonculous Race despite Kristin Fairlie being in the spin-off (as the voice of Carrie, though it was nice to see her voice someone else). I wish Bridgette had made it to at least the top 5 in one of the seasons she competed in. Her eliminations in Island and World Tour disappointed me.

Noah imo was definitely the best candidate to see through Alejandro’s schemes. He’s smart and not nearly as oblivious as other campers (or at least he should’ve have been). Due to his intelligence it made sense for him to be unaffected by any attempts of manipulation.

i loved island i can't believe the network ruined it they wanted to make more drama but in the end they made feel like a kid comady series with to much drama

They ruined Trent and Gwen's and Duncan and Courtney's relationships because of that. I love Action and World Tour, but what happened to Trent and Courtney was unfair.

Personally, Island is definitely my second favourite. Mainly because this is the first time we see the gen 1 cast. World Tour is also tied with Island mainly because of the song gimmick. Each one is a bop, minus Chinese Lesson.

@@BratzRockAngels they should get together instead

I noticed that too only difference they dont have a " Meowth "

Oh, no. Jaques and Josee are an actual threat.

I love how all their names begin with J

WOBBUFETT!

@@Retro_Red I thought they were a bigger threat. Team Rocket was very goofy in the earlier seasons, and Ash got so used to then, that he'd say things like "Sorry, guys, but we're kind of in a hurry" like they're little kids who want to play or something.

Like he was going to be on all star but what cut.

He still is a little bit of a cunt but at least he was able to break his non partisan role to shit on the ice duncers when they lost

c'mon Total Drama is Total Drama also thanks to Chris.

@@SimonTargaryen i like don because he is kind of an actual character.

It's a shame there was only one season of the ridonculous race. I am currently rewatching it on Netflix and I am glad to be able to after the trashy All-Stars/Pahkitew Island fifth season.

Unlike Chris٫ Don tests the challenges he creates to make sure they're possible instead of throwing a bunch of life-threatening aspects to the challenges for laughs

true, but i think it was meant to show how well his charms work on everyone

It's certainly possible to do that but he manipulated them way too easy, especially Bridgette. If a villain has to make characters stupid to be effective, the characters are still stupid, and if anything hurts both characters' characterization and the overall plot. For example, his manipulation of Courtney was incredibly believable. Courtney had her pride shattered and was extremely mentally vulnerable, and he used the opportunity to play both Courtney, Gwen, and to an extent Duncan. I think it was possible to manipulate Bridgette into cheating, but he could have used Geoff's previous fuckups (his Action arc, the way his eyes stray sometimes like that one time in Celebrity Manhunt and the way he called Heather the hottest girl on the show) as a way to break Bridgette's trust in him down

Man, Leshawna in World Tour sucked, outside her beatdown on Heather (however contradictory it was).

@@k-leb4671 that was the point though, they wanted to bring her back but she got the boot early because they didnt know what to do with her. it was like that with everyone on team victory. the only person on that team that had a storyline was DJ and his animal curse and later the fight for an alliance with him from heather and alejandro

@@user-yg9vx2re3u They did all of Team Victory wrong. Except for Harold, he screwed his own self over, lol. I loved the team though. Bridgette, Leshawna, DJ and Lindsay are a great team.

I count Heather as the official winner and its not because I saw her win first in Al's win He dropped his doll at the edge of the volcano before going to heather to gloat. Heather had her's literally right beside her she picks up his beside her. Heather deserved the win of world tour I like Al but they did his victory really bad. it was forced an given to his it looked like an alternet ending.

@@dracophoenixttv it’s not forced every season has two winners and you can create your own head cannon for who won. Non-to less barely anyone who wins actually gets the prize

@@Naomi-xu4hq Beth is a forced win hers is literally an alternet ending in action. Duncan was voted for by the fans to win they had a poll and everything he also had a special of what happened afterwords. He won by a land slide. Same with Gwen she only won in iceland I beileve. Owen won everywhere else and showcased in the special episode of total drama island. You are flat out wrong. Now with the Heather verse Al. Heathers literally made sense even though Al techincally is the offical winner but his to me looked like an alterner ending. Also cameron for revenge of the island again he is the official winner but in reverse Lightning wins in a weird way. Yes they always have 2 winners because they have 2 finalist they do that to show what it looks like if they win.

@Draco Phoenix well the owners did say the real winner is fan base preference

@@dracophoenixttv I actually strangely like the idea of Al still winning after all that Heather went through. It really just feels good to stick it to her after being such an immature and manipulative bitch in the previous seasons. Of course even in Al's ending, he doesn't get a good ending and no one really wins in the end, which I think is perfect for two characters who are really quite trash human beings and corrupted by fame and fortune. Plus, I always thought it made more thematic sense for Ezekiel to have the final showdown with Chris rather than Heather, and for Al to ask about the money when he became Darth Vader-parody when he was the one that actually won it rather than Heather.

anyone but Beth

Literally anyone but beth hell I would have loved to see Harold vs Duncan, that would've made so much sense and be incredibly epic.

@@gilgameshtheexcalipooruser177 or a duncan vs leshawna.

Why y'all hate beth 😭 she was a decent player who went through the challenges pretty well

@totally_gwen Finally someone who agrees.

very based comment you got there

The ridonculous race could totally succeed as a sequel as long as they make the characters good. There are so many places in the world for them to visit too which gives lots of possibilities.

Me too Emma is my favorite character from total drama from all the franchise

@@Ylda1007 Mine is Jacques

Fun fact: A handful of the teams were based on actual teams and inter-team dynamics from the show it parodied, The Amazing Race. I would highly recommend watching The Amazing Race too. There's a handful of seasons from 11-17 that you'd be impressed by the chaos, characters, travel, and hilarious, surprising moments that you wouldn't be able to replicate through animation.

they should sequel it

Cast is kinda good but some are just plain boring

Yeah, Revenge is sooo underrated, but I found the mutant gimmick to be WAY too far fetched, what does it even add to the story? if anything it takes away some of the reality. Total Drama is suposed to be reality show and we are suposed to root for the caracters as we find them relatable, that's why island is soo good; but take away that and we get revenge.

The antagonist wasn't that good and they got rid of dawn and that guy that doesn't speak way to early on in the show. They were honestly the best 2 competitors of the season but it is underrated. I love how they did cameos from the gen 1 cast. I also loved Dakota's character design but if it were 24 episodes instead of 12 it would've been better and for us to understand the cast more. I really like Dakota's and Sam's relationship thing, a rich hot girl (who did turn mutant) and a gamer nerd kind of guy (I'm not saying he looks bad), it would've been really nice to see their relationship grow in a 24 episode format and to see Dakota's character ark

​@@muhammadsufyaanmuhammad6198 they eliminated them so the audience would hate scott as a result

Y E S. C O R R E C T. i swear why do ppl not agree tho

It wasnt the producers it was the network the one that forced it

Courtney was ruined long before the love triangle lol

@@jdysbsunsbsg I'd say her derailment started in action. Island she was a good character. The network decided that the main couples established in season 1 (Gwent and Duncney) had to be broken up because there wouldn't be enough drama if they stayed together. The love triangle in WT was a product of this push from the network as well, just a little further down the line.

@@courtneyhall3031 she was bad in Island too, she tried to be a team leader and failed miserably. She has been a mess ever since total drama drama drama island

@@jdysbsunsbsg That's a character flaw, not derailment. I wouldn't say that trying and failing to lead her team makes her a bad person or a bad character. It just shows she's ambitious and likes to be in control of a situation, but that she isn't always cut out for that position. It fits her stereotype but doesn't overpower good parts of her personality. Her behavior towards Duncan in Action is taking her flaws from season 1 and blowing them out of proportion, and takes her from likable or at the very least bearable, into unlikable and hard to root for. It's one thing to be controlling of a team during a game for a million dollars. It's another to treat a boyfriend that way. You do start to see that in TDDDI, but still, not to the extent that you get in Action. It's when her negative qualities are blown out of realistic proportion that I start to have a problem with her.

There’s no way you think action is better than island

I wonder how Pahkitew Island even makes the list, considering how bad it was

My way 7. All-Stars 6. Pahkitew 5. Revenge of the Island 4. Action 3. Ridonculous Race 2. Island (2007) 1. World Tour

I agree with this list way more than the one in the video. I personally prefer Action over WT, but I recognize that objectively it's not the best season (I rank it above Island only because of the more entertaining challenges).

I cant believe Russell is considered the biggest villain bc he isnt..

@@yuhyuhyuhyuhyuhyuyhuyhuy8122 At the time Russell more or less revitalized the show cause he did a lot of things that were brand new to the show.

@@BritishRepublicsn I thought it was more like he's only at half strength capacity. The other villains likely saw him as an easy out if they ever lost a huge physical contest. They could always turn on him since they think he's not at 100%.

@@WolfEntertainment yeah it would've backfired on Al either way They see him as too strong- out by merge Too weak- out before merge

I get that. And Jasmine and Shawn are actually some of my favorites characters in the franchise.

as someone who witnessed and tried to help multiple people with abusing families, I was so surprised to see how much amy and samey's story resembled these people.

I think Sugar would've been funnier and more threatening if she went harder on the spitefully determined beauty pageant queen angle. There was a bit of it with her interactions with Ella, but in the end it felt more like she just hated Ella because Ella was annoying (which she was). There's some shows that portray the greedy and spiteful showgirl quite well, such as Cats Don't Dance, which I think Total Drama should've borrowed from. Sugar should've been the vindictive version of Dakota with the humour of Owen (well, the good parts of his humour anyway), yet the writing never got as good as either of those characters. It also would've been funny if her pageant queen aesthetic became more and more worn out the longer the season went on, due the fact that she's in the wild and has no cosmetic facilities, and she slowly became more insane and venomous due to her unmaintainable looks which she believes are the only thing driving her future in life.

But in the end it was very bad because there still gonna fight and Sammy lost

@@ultimatederek1815 Sammy learns how to standout to Amy she definitely didn't lose

And in Lindsay's case, she was a fun character in Island and all, but Action REALLY helped push her into a top tier character in the series for me, and my personal favorite girl in that season (best boy there being Harold) Not only is her stepping up into a leadership position a natural progression of her story after Island, and an interesting one, but it also paints her as someone who isn't JUST a moron. She's not as smart as others, that's clear, but she's perfectly capable of discovering her OWN form of what intelligence is. Rules that apply to HER and help out HER, stuff that makes sense to HER that helps lead others, even they don't understand, and even if she's not always right, she's capable of BEING right with this logic, even if it was just one time. It's why I don't consider Lindsay to be THE dumbest Total Drama character, because of this development. And then we never got that version of Lindsay again because she was hardly in the show after that (I mean, I guess she got something in World Tour with Tyler, but not saying too much) I really hope we do get her to come back AS her Island and Action self, not necessarily becoming a genius at the end or anything like that, (cause that'd make NO sense) but someone who can operate on logic that makes sense to her and her only.

@@Duval-In-The-Wall she wasn't

Me too

dear god i can hear him saying it

Y E S.

I can slightly agree with you there. Scarlett could've been a better villain if: A) She had been established earlier as evil to the audience, but not to anyone else, and was a known manipulator with her smarts and inventions. B) She was the main antagonist and swapped Sugar to a secondary antagonist so the whole 'Sugar not being a huge threat' thing isn't a big deal as, to the contestants, she *is* the big threat, but the audience knows Scarlett is much more dangerous. C) She wasn't as cartoonishly evil as shown (e.g. no 'I AM EVIL! AHAHAHAHAHA!!), or it could be worked to her advantage as she slowly loses her cool the more she's around Max and basically goes insane. Still, I don't really like either Mal or Scarlett. Mal was pathetic and kinda forgettable to me, and Scarlett was the same considering her poor implementation. Scarlett had hope with better implementation, and Mal... well, it would've been better if he'd not existed at all.

​@@tigertempertantrum6573 They kinda did establish her as a villain early on, just not to the extent of the cartoony villain. But what I hate about how the writers handled Scarlett was that earlier on in the show was that she had a good plan at the beginning of the show. Tricking Max by having him do all "villain" work while she faked her innocence and whenever her team lost, Max would take the fall.

I agree. Aside from her promo audition video, there is absolutely no evidence pointing towards her villainy. Third worse villain is Sugar.

Who the hell is Scarlett

@@mavg. you’ve never watched Pahkitew Island? I wish I was you.

That makes sense but they should of explained that in the show so people wouldn’t think she was being stupid

EXACTLY SHE WAS AFRAID OF THINKING HER BOYFRIEND IS GONE

@@shesjustafrienduhhafriend8655 Well, Zoey doesn't know that's what she's doing. Subtext is so important. I also took into account her earlier development.

@@strawberrysoulforever8336 I blame the writers for not making her Denyng that mal Is in control even the execution was bad I still love Zoey and Mike

Your are very right and I thought the same way the writers did a horrible job making Zoey not accepting that Mal is taking control Of Mike

Or at least Mike isn't a well loved character like gwen, Duncan or even Heather

I dont know how to say it mal just feels kinda eugh to me it's like It feels like slight demonisation? Of the disorder and that idk how to explain it i just don't like when people do 'evil personality heeheeoo...'

@@Freshieroleplays yeah, especially with the whole getting beaten via a button thing.

@@devilishsmiles yeah like you cant just make a personality disappear completely with a literal push of a button,, i think they could've tried better with the whole DID thing- their audience was basically kids and they shouldn't have made an evil personality thing considering they could have used mike as an opportunity to try safely introduce them to DID, though they obviously shoved the word DID onto him for the ' haha multiple personality funny xDD' thing

MIKE DESERVES TO BE LOVED HE IS UNIC CARACTER I JUST WISH MAL COULD BE WRITTEN BETTER

Yeah it got kinda predictable after a while, and I feel like they had too many non-elimination episodes in the later part of the season when there weren't many players left.

@@k-leb4671 shush

Same for island lol

I mean he is sort based on real person To be fair i don’t think Russel was like yeah i want to on purpose to simple kick off me team. And get immunity

Yeah that is part he is missing, is scott is sort parody of Russell hantz.

Agreed. Honestly I didn't care to watch new characters for Total Drama seasons, including season 4 even though I warmed up to it and most of the characters. Ridonculous Race did so good with a completely new cast while having only 3 of the original ones.

Yes!! RR is so good!! I love it!!

RR is٫ in my opinion٫ better than island and world tour

Yeah there’s plans for another season idk when it releases tho

Yeah two new seasons are confirmed for the future, I hope they make a season 2 of Ridonculous Race, it’s a super fun change of pace but still similar to Total Drama

I feel like the Total Drama fandom is actually picking up a lot of speed these days. There's been several long videos uploaded about the show in the past couple of years.

It’s horrible wdym

I don't get this. I think is one of the worst couple changes. They just put them together because fans thought the "dark ones" should be together.

REAL i love their pairing together

There was literally no reason for them to end up together other than more unnecessary conflict. They were better off as friends.

I agree 100%

Agreed

Yeah surprisingly there wasn't really a "theatre kid" stereotype in all of Total Drama. I knew many of kids in high school who fit a particular kind of drama-related mold. They had a weird flamboyance to them as if they were always trying to practice their acting abilities outside of class, and had major dreams about theatre stardom. I guess Dakota came close.

Topher was like the only good part of season, rest were forgettable

oml the hamilton references if that happened-
