Total Drama All Stars My Way 

Want to point out that more than once in this video I mistakenly referred to Mike's DID as BDP. This was not intentional at all as I tend to get abbreviations with the letters "B" and "D" in them mixed up. My apologies to anyone I have offended with this blunder.

It doesn't matter how long it's been,I still can't get over the fact Brick missed his chance of being in an All Star season because the writers enjoyed writing Sam more

One point that I can’t get over about this season is how Scott’s character randomly turned dumb mid-season. It’s like the writers didn’t know what to do with his character so they just gave him Lindsay’s personality. Also, it is a shame how Mal became such a central character this season, as I feel like the point of an all star cast is to see how these characters we already know compete with each other, rather than just having them all lose to a new character we have no knowledge of.

I feel like Sierra’s knowledge of how the game works was also greatly left out, considering it’s an all star season, it would make sense for Sierra to understand how each player works since she’s a fan of the show, it feels like a missed opportunity

Sam making it to all stars instead of Owen feels like a insult.

I remember a while ago trying to change the final few episodes myself. On Sundae Muddy Sundae, have Mal fabricate a fake chart to frame Courtney. However when they found out it was fake, Mal convinced them Scott made it. And Scott gets voted off, leaving two Gen 1 and two Gen 2 characters for the Final Four. The next ep, have the two eliminated be Gwen and Mal. Courtney promises to win for both her and Gwen, strengthening their friendship. However Mal actually managed to not get flushed down without anyone noticing. Now the finale is Courtney vs Zoey. A Gen 1 and a Gen 2, both being girls with the previous season being boys. And Mal is behind the scenes sabotaging them both and planning to steal the million. That's when Mal and Mike have a mental fight, and no there's no reset button. That's when Mike returns. In one ending, Zoey is happy to see Mike, but both forget about Courtney and Courtney wins TDAS In the second ending, Mike and Zoey team up with their combined acrobatic skills. And Zoey wins TDAS. This was a fan idea I had in my head months ago.😅🤣

1. 26 instead of 13 episode (Allows more development, and the Aftermaths would return) 2. 18 members (original 14, plus Owen, Leshawna Anne Maria, and Brick) 3. Give Mal more development, and have Zoey figure him out Midway 4. Courtney over Zoey in finale vs Mal, and Duncan as her ally, imagine her being forced to work with him to find out how to defeat Mal

Remember: Mike has more abs than most of the guys

Another thing for me: Make it where Gwen doesn't complain about being a villain for three episodes straight. I was absolutely fine with her after the first few episodes (basically after Courtney joined the villains team) but she was complaining about being a villain and how Duncan was not Courtney's boyfriend in WT when she made a confessional about it saying she was sorry in WT. I had not cringed so badly since Trent's obsession with the number nine in Action. Easy fix, but important. Like I say I liked her in the rest of the season. I really liked her and Courtney but also her friendships with Zoey and Cameron are so underrated (I am gonna mention this in pretty much every comment I make about Gwen in All Stars or her character in general)

Honestly if they were gonna use Sam, at least have him make the merge.

This season also needs the aftermaths, along with having a 26 format episode or at least 20 episodes for more story development along with the dynamics of the characters.

Here's how I would've done TDAS: 1. Have it all take place AFTER Pahkitew Island, so the cast of all three generations can interact. 2. Go back to the 26 episodes format. Let Revenge and Pahkitew be the only ones in the season with 13 episodes. 3. Have all of the final five from all seasons be all stars. So that includes: Owen, Gwen, Heather, Duncan, LeShawna(TDI), Courtney, Harold, Beth (TDA), Cody, Sierra, Alejandro (TDWT), Zoey, Cameron, Lightning, Scott, Jo (TDRI), and Sugar, Sky, Jasmine, Shawn, and Max (TDPI). Scarlett can be added as an extra to have an equal amount of 22 players as it pays homage to the first season. 4. HAVE something happen to Camp Wawanakwa AFTER the TDRI finale due to the radiation! No stupid sinking. 5. HAVE ALL THE CONTESTANTS COME BACK AS EITHER CAMEOS OR TO SUPPORT THE FINALISTS! That is all.

i’m pretty sure this was confirmed but i thought Brick was supposed to be back in place of Sam, but his voice actor wasn’t available.

If they were going to have Zoey take a long time to figure out that it was Mal instead of Mike then at the very least have Mal be extremely convincing around Zoey or at the very least keep all his Mal acts out of view of Zoey. Regardless she should have figured out sooner. It didn’t have to be super soon but she should have at least been suspicious and been like wait Mike isn’t acting like himself or any of the other personalities I know

Simply making the season 26 episodes instead of just 13 would have improved it a lot.

6:45 They could have brought Duncan back in the finale and had him defeat Mal

Sam should have been used if there were 20 people. They could have made him go far. I would have made Lightning be the main villain out of embarrassment from losing in ROTI and Mal asa secondary villain.I agree with most of this

I feel like Owen and leshawna rally should have played a part in all stars. If Owen was there Alejandro might have been redeemed slightly because he hates Owen. And if leshawna was there I feel like she Gwen and Zoe would have made a great friend trio

I do agree that All Stars really could’ve been more than what it turned out to be.

My ideas about how to make all stars being great 1. Cast from 14 to 20 (Owen, Brick, Anne Maria, Cody, Dawn, Noah) 2. Episodes 13 to 26 3. Elimination Order 4. Mal 5. Challenge Names

Definitely need to give Scott a brain, his character was way too dumbed down

I think that the G2 cast should have definitely gotten another season or two beforehand (For better or worse). It would have helped the audience build up more of an attachment to them and give them more experience in general, which would make the matchup against the G1 contestants feel a lot more fair.

They definitely should’ve added Brick, Anne Maria, Owen, & Leshawna into All Stars. This would’ve allowed the ratio of new and old gen characters to be even still and they could’ve split the teams up like this: Heroes: Sam Mike Cameron Owen Brick Leshawna Lindsay Sierra Zoey Villains: Alejandro Duncan Scott Lightning Anne Maria Jo Heather Courtney Gwen

i think that dawn would come to all stars(if they maked with more characters) like it would make mal more strategist, cuz she sees peoples auras and he needed to eliminate her

You know I really feel that they could have definitely done All Stars AFTER Pahkitew Island so that way we would have a much bigger cast and more room to develop

I like how Guen is such a horrible person ON ACCIDENT. All the bad things she done on the series, she either never meant to do, or never meant any harm. I am not defending her, just always noticed that.

They should've had a bigger cast and more episodes to develop the storylines better, and a lot of people were snubbed. They could've had Owen be the first boot at least, or Sam. I'd even say if they were gonna bring back all the finalists Beth would've been interesting on the Heroes team, could have more development, and she would fit in with Zoey and Cameron. I wish they didn't dumb down Lindsay and Lightning. Gwen's attitude towards being on the villain's team was so out of character of her, in season 1 she was a baddie and dealt with Heather when she was her brutalist, always tormenting her and Gwen would clap back at her so I think she would've been able to handle herself on that team. Plus she liked pulling pranks with Duncan in season 2 so she has a bit of an edge as well. Sierra could've had a chance to have better writing and development without Cody being there, she was a great competitor in S3 but they just reused that old storyline with Cameron. Duncan and Jo's friendship would've been cool to see more of had she not been booted so early. It would've been cool to see Duncan and Heather work together again like did in season 1 and 2, or Duncan and Alejandro or Heather and Gwen, or Duncan and Scott, or Heather and Courtney. I wish Courtney also had actual redemption, she could learn to stop putting the competition over her relationships with people, learn to make friends. I feel like the list thing was so random and written just to give her a reason to get booted, it took away from the development she was getting, and they could've written something else, make her another victim of Mal, show how evil he is. I feel like after season 4, the villains got weird, like they became actual villains. Because everyone before did what they did for the money, Mal and Scarlett either had no real motivation to be evil or it wasn't over the money, so it didn't exactly fit into a Survivor-esque reality tv show. They're also all teens so seeing the conflicts be based around cattiness and typical highschool drama like the first season was more dramatic, interesting to watch, and realistic, not like Mal and Scarlett just trying to harm people.

Another thing was that wawanakwa doesnt feel wawanakwa anymore. This hotel things, lack of Chefs Buffet or other things make that action coudl take place in any other place.

To increase the cast, add Brick and either Owen, Harold, or Beth to the Heroes. On the Villains, add Justin and Anne Maria, this makes it so each generation gets 2 more contestants, 1 on each team.

Courtney at the Heroes team was wrong too. She was clearly a villain at Total Drama action

I would suggest adding Noah as a villian. He was teased of being a master manipulator back at the start of Island, and tapped into that during World Tour, so it would have been cool seeing him in All Star.

Duncan had the biggest derailment in All Stars in my opinion

Would it be a neat idea that instead of the contestants voting each other out, Chris is the sole decider in who leaves?

tbh, i think duncan vs mal would make one hell of a finale, it would definitely acknowledge duncan and mike's past

I'm pretty sure I've heard that Owen wasn't in this season because Scott McCord didn't wanna voice him anymore. Although he still voices him in Dramarama (i looked it up) so I guess he changed his mind?

OMG Right!? How could they not put Owen in All Stars he was the OG winner of the first season and he always made it to the near Final in other seasons you don't get more All-Star than that

I can more or less agree with this.

I am the type of person to take pre-existing characters, and build on them more. The only way I would make my own total drama season is If I put a character from another series in there that I really like. I am weird like that.

I think the whole idea of heroes vs villains is ok on paper but the best interactions we’ve ever had were when heroes and villains were on the same team

I’ve seen some people critique mal not only for bad writing, but also ableism, as it plays into the “evil alternate personality” stereotype. Dissociative Identity Disorder is a defense mechanism in response to trauma- it doesn’t make sense for an “evil” personality to exist. Mal could have been a “protector” personality who believes that Mike’s personal relationships are harming him, or alternatively be so obsessed with Zoey and Mike’s relationship (believing that keeping that relationship strong keeps Mike happy and safe) that he sabotages everyone else in the competition in order to try and have her in the finale with him. He could even fail and end up facing one of the original cast instead, which could lead to some interesting conflict! Having the antagonist’s motivation be something other than “win the game for the money” would be much more interesting than what the show went with.

1. 26 or even 20 episodes 2. Add Owen, Leshawna, Cody, Dawn, Owen, Justin, Harold, B, Anne Maria, Brick, Izzy or Justin (or even Katie, Sadie or Eva why not) to the cast (Izzy, Owen, Dawn & Brick got hard robbed) 3. Fixing the Love Traingle development 4. NOT having Lindsay eliminated in the first episode for the dumbest reason (even if they wanted to eliminate Lindsay on the first episode, they could come up to a better reason to vote her off, or even not voting her off at all on that episode) 5. Giving all of the characters a brain (espicially Heather, Alejandro and Zoey) 6. more development to the relationship of Duncan and Mal 7. ADD MORE THAN 4 F__KING WRITERS TO THE SEASON 8. more variety on challenges and giving Chef more lines 9. not revealing the elimination order 10. not making Sam a comedic punching bag 11. Giving Mal a motivation

Also having so many finalists in was another issue. When you take away all final 2s you're left with zoey, mike, sam, sierra, jo, Lindsay (although she probably doesn't count since she was put in instead of beth), Courtney and Scott. And it got pretty obvious that Sierra and Sam were there to be joke characters. There were just so little possibilities for a final 2, it was obvious that either Scott/Courtney/Zoey/Mike will get there.

(4:10) BPD? Seems more like some form of DID to me, though it sort of also feels like it takes elements from OSDD-1. BPD doesn't manifest in alters as far as I know. (8:00) One of my biggest problems with Mal is how it leans into the stereotype of the evil alter that is so often used to demonise plural people like Mike's system IRL. I love how ruthless Mal is and it's fun to watch but I agree it could have been handled better, and the framing of Mal as the evil alter stereotype puts me off from really loving him as much as I'd like to. I especially have a problem with how Mal was defeated, by just some magical headspace reset button. That's not how that works at all, not even remotely, and the fact that several people essentially died just to get rid of Mal feels really gross. Headspace mechanisms like that can exist in real life, but they're almost always temporary at best and can usually be overridden so even in best case it just feels like a massive stroke of luck and plot contrivance, and I know Total Drama isn't exactly realistic, but this is done in such a way that it feels extremely out of character for Mike's system as a whole (rather than the character of any individual alter) and overly convenient. The portrayal of Mike's system in Revenge was much better, and while most of his alters were far more one-note than IRL alters are, the fact that they're not demonised and are treated as genuine people is really nice to see and something you don't often get in plural representation, so it's even sadder that All Stars basically backtracked most of that and leaned heavy into harmful stereotypes with Mal.

I do agree with these. Especially with having a bigger cast and bringing back Owen bc he’s great

The Bob the builder in the beginning 💀💀💀

Hate to be that guy, but you kept calling Mike's disorder "bpd", when he actually has "did"

the Z,B,M,C (Zoey, Brick, Mike & Cameron) squad would have been so fun to watch then actually demolishing the competition all because of brick's elimination episode in revenge of the island

It was a crime that Owen, LeShawna and Brick we're not included in this season because those three are undeniably All-Star material unlike Sam and Sierra. You can even make an argument for Geoff, DJ, Bridgette and Izzy being All-Star material as well

Honestly I would have loved to see Dawn or B. I thick they would have worked well in the hero’s team and would have a rivalry against Scott since Scott was the reason they got eliminated in their original season. I also think Lashawna should have returned. They way she was in world tour was just sad. Her getting easily manipulated by Alejandro.

It’s awesome to know that someone else thought Owen was snubbed, it was actually ludacris

I really wish the Mal thing was handled better. I feel it could've been WAY cooler if the Duncan vs Mal thing was developed aswell.

i like the ideas you thought if i did change all stars i would bring owen brick ann maira harold and izzy back

I think that the season should have happened AFTER Pahketew, as it would be a competition between all three generations. Here's what Is do: The Classic Camels: Owen Gwen Cody Heather Alejandro Duncan Courtney Lindsay The Midroad Manatees: Cameron Lightning Zoey Scott Mike Jo Brick Anne Marie The Rookie Rabbits: Shawn Sky Dave Jasmine Max Samey Sugar Topher

Honestly, i don't know why Zoey and Mike made into the finals, first zoey: in TDROTI mike often lied to her about his personalities until he tells her that, but in all stars, there's a scene, where mal LITERALLY says: "he said "pal" not "mal", i think they forced zoey to not find out about mal later just to make a shocking review (which still doesn't work) also i think it was kinda ridicolus the fact that she didin't have ANY danger of getting eliminated, in all stars, the elimination works like this "you screw the challenge, you're eliminated", but every time the heroes win, zoey carried the team, and she wins 3 solo challanges in a ROW, and the 2 she didin't won someone was disqualified (duncan and cameron). And now for mal... Mike only was in the final because there was mal, he could get far in the competition but still get eliminated, also mal is not strong, because they basecally nerfed every other vilan, his motivations doen't make so much sense, also the finale, something that could work MUCH better, if a Gen1 have two Gen2 teammates and a Gen2 have two Gen1, because there could have so much character interactions and alliances but they don't make anything about, it's like every one know eachother. (It's only my opinion, you can disagree).

My dream cast (ignoring introductions at certain points and original roles unless that role helps) Heather, alejandro, and carlos. These 3 have their own arc, Heather will go before the rest but that will be after that plot point ends. Carlos would be the one to bully Heather through out the show with alejandro defending heather coming at the cost of the challenges. Heather would vote herself off in am effort to get away from Carlos but leaves with a recording that basically cusses him out and exposes a few secrets about him. Anne maria, zoey, Duncan and mike. Mike does get his mal persona and both Zoey and Anne Maria notice off behavior, duncan immediately blurts out "m-m-mal!?" Which would cause this plot to vote Duncan out at some point but it would give us some information if zoey or Anne Maria press duncan for information. Duncan does a whole backstory thing and we see him even tell the girls to steer as clear as possible and mal doesn't bother to listen in but desides to rig the vote to vote out Duncan. Anne maria would go from rival to Zoey to supporter of mike, using this chance to act more like a supportive friend and having some nice momemts with mikes personalities. Zoey gets more moments with the normal Mike aswell. Amy, samey, and dawn. Amy does bully same in order to humiliate her and dawn intern reads parts of amy's soul and sameys soul, every time amy mentions her mother, Dawn would read sameys soul when that happens and correct amy. Samey and dawn form a questionably platonic friendship (lets face it we wouldn't get same sex romances so im putting this here). Amy gets voted off first out of these 3 with samey actually going 2nd in ordrr to give dawn a shot at finals. Justin, blaineley, jacques, and josee. These 4 are focused on being famous and finding some way to cheat, Justin would be the voice of reason having wisened up a bit from his previous appearances and even being a bit more attractive than before but not viewing himself as such, he would still cheat but only in small ways like spying on Chris and chef to figure outbthe next challenge. Blaineley would be on the show as a newly humbled star who wants to get her fame back but can't so she at least wants some money, i'd give her a romance with Justin whale also placing them on opposing teams. Now we and Jacques could actually be the ones to constantly get caught causing them both to be the first one to be voted off in the first episode as they weren't focused on being discrete. Scott, courtney, amd Gwen. Gwen tries to be courtney's friend again in the hopes of forgiveness but Courtney won't have it but lile in the original it will happen with them being temporary friends until gwen sees the chart Courtney made. Duncan also has his moments here but hus main part is with mal. And Scott is just there to play his role he did before. Cody, sierra, and cameron, Sierra has Cody here to act as her filter and to be voted off at some point Causing Sierra to latch onto cameron as her new obsession, Cameron does his mental evaluation of Sierra as a way of figuring out how to keep himself safe, also like Justin Cameron cokes back with a new look, he's slightly stronger being more wide and taller. Cameron would then vote off Sierra failing to find ways to keep her on task. Emma and noah. I enjoyed their romance and I can see Noah and her entering that sale romance with Emma would try to keep things professional but fall into her lovey dovey habits which would at first deter Noah until he gets used to it. Lightning would be the henchman to the villians. And the final introduction is crimson, crimson would be introduced as an iver exaggeration of gwens goth typing, and I think she would mellow out finidmg a balance between her normal looks and her ungothed state. Sort of in a way to echo Gwen. I do see a friendship forming as well between Gwen, dawn and crimson. Villian Team -alejandro -heather -carlos -blaineley -justin -lightning -duncan (later on team hero after swapping with Courtney) -gwen -scott -josee -jocques -anne maria -crimson -amy Hero Team: 10 members (for now) -cody -courtney (later on swaps teams with duncan) -dawn -sierra -zoey -mike -samey -emma -noah -cameron - free slot (edit: owan) - free slot - free slot - free slot

Honestly didn't know about Mal getting teased in RotI

As much as I like Sam, I still feel like he isn't qualified for All-Stars. They should have either Anne Maria, Brick or Owen for this season, but nope. They chose Sam.

Dude seriously you need more likes your videos on total drama is incredible please make more.

Mike did not have BPD (Borderline Personality Disorder) he had Multiple Personality Disorder, which is vastly different when you look at how Mike's alter egos actually had control, which is a 100% sign of MPD not BPD. (Coming from a place of BPD, just trying to avoid any confusion of the illnesses to help everyone as they actually need it)

In my way: -Instead of Sam, Cameron and Sierra, it could have been LeShawna, Owen and Trent -Teams will be balance and the contestants will be the same way they should be before -The aftermath show will be back on every 3 episodes -Duncan x Gwen should never exist -no TDPI contestants, it will make the season even more worse -there should be a character to debut in the season like DJ, Tyler or Dawn, etc.

One thing that how I would change TD allstars, is the cast? I’ll keep almost all the same plus some new ones added to give it better variety! Villains: Alejandro, Ann Maria, Courtney, Duncan, Gwen, heather, izzy, Jo, Justin, lightning, & Scott. Heroes: brick, Bridgette, Cameron, dawn, Harold, Leshawna, Lindsay, Mike, Owen, Sierra, & zoey. That’s my best way of doing it since I had to even out both the heroes and villains sides so specific people had to be on certain teams like Courtney on the villains team and making sure Owen and brick make the list also I hade to remove characters like Sam since he’s not allstar worthy plus other characters such as Cody, beth, DJ & Dakota who didn’t make the list and their aren’t enough villains so I hate to make certain cuts I wanted to add characters like Bridgette and Harold for 2 reasons 1, I love their characters and 2, I think they deserve better placements in world tour and to make up for it, I decided to include them in Allstars, & yes that goes for leshawna too. Again that’s my thoughts so I think 20ish cast-members competing in allstars would have been a much better season for me in my book! Rather then just 14 which I think is pretty bland so that’s my thoughts on it.

I feel like instead of 7 characters from both generations it could have been 10. Here’s my cast Everyone that was already in this season +Cody +Owen +Leshawna Revenge +Brick +Dawn (she would have been perfect for the Mal arc) +B or Anne Maria

Yeah. I agree with you about Sierra. So one way I would fix her character in the season is either eliminate her or Cody in the previous season that came before Revenge of the Island and All Stars, World Tour. Giving Cody the early boot however would not sit well with her, so the only solution I have so that the writers can learn how to properly use her come All Stars is to eliminate her early on in World Tour.

One complaint I have about all stars is the lack of Owen appearances except for a short gag at the end. He won the first season and was in the following two. Also Noah.

Justin deserved to be on the villain's team for being Action's main villain (for the first part, and a solid part of the second).

“Bob the builder! Can we fix it?” No

I thought about doing a video like this yeah you had some great thoughts. This season in concept should have been amazing if they just let the characters play like they normally would instead of making them all stupid for the sake of cheap forced drama and so Mal could seem like a threat when he's one of the all-time worst villains. Also it should have been 24-26 episodes not 13, just either have a couple aftermaths or simply non-elimination episodes so we get more time with these hardcore players.

Honestly Jo should have made it further than she did, she and Lightning were the best part of the season

The main issue with All-Stars was that they brought back fan-favorite characters and didn't know what to do with them. Any of them. If you're gonna bring back characters for a second time, there should be some purpose behind it. All of the characters are either pointless, have 1 dimension story arcs, or are just completely brainless in this season and it gets frustrating to watch.

I’m loving the total drama videos. Keep them up

My dream cast for Allstars season: TDI: Duncan Owen Cody Noah Tyler Trent Alejandro Heather Gwen Courtney Lindsay Sierra Izzy Leshawna TDRotI: Mike Cameron Scott Brick Jo Zoey Dawn Anne Maria

They could’ve totally expanded on Sierra. Her obsession with Cody could still be there, she could totally just call stuff Cody Jr. and talk about him, but show off other sides of her character too. But they didn’t, we just got Cameron being subjected to her Cody obsession instead and that being literally all she did (?)

I wish that they can just do a total drama all stars remake to make it better especially sense if they pull it off right it could be the best season

Going with everything you said, I wish that All Stars was a longer season, so that storylines had more time to be fleshed out, like Mal having more time to shine as a villain.

2 Trivia Facts About TDAS: 1. With the exception of Sam, the remaining 13 castmates who competed in the season of TDAS have made it further into the merge competition more than one/twice in the first 4 seasons. 2. Out of the 14 campers of the 2 generations, only 6 contestants who were competing in All-stars like Gwen Duncan Heather Alejandro Cameron and Lightning were finalists in the previous seasons at some point.

In general the all stars season could have been way better if pahkihtio was the next season after revenge with changes to make it good Then have a 2nd season featuring the 2nd and 3rd generation cast to develop them more And then make all stars as the final season an all out competition between all generations and bigger cast as well

If I wrote Total Drama All Stars my teams would be Heroes: Mike Zoey Cameron Cody Courtney Owen Lindsay Sierra Villains: Heather Duncan Anne-Maria Lightning Jo Scott Gwen Alejandro I would have also brought back the aftermath show, changed the boot order, and gave the characters more logical motivations for doing things like in Island or World Tour.

All Stars originally was going to have Owen,Noah,Cody,Harold,Leshawna,Justin,Brick,and Anne Maria (This is shown in the trailer for the season) and the season would’ve been way better with this cast easily since this would likely mean the 26 episode format was the original and this would allow Noah,Brick,and Anne Maria to Recieve more development and also give Leshawna a better showing than Action and World Tour.

This is a perfect version of all-stars

If Lindsay were there, they should’ve had Lindsay walk to the arts and craps centre and find the idol. Heather talks to her but Lindsay doesn’t budge. Alejandro does talk to Lindsay and she says only if u eliminate Heather with me. Alejandro agrees and both of them vote off Heather. WAY BETTER than just Heather dumping it next to a rock with Alejandro seeing it. Heather saw Alejandro 2 seconds right after she dumped it there. What I would’ve done if I was a show writer.

Nice video, but most of it has been said already. Still id like more Total Drama Content. Maybe a ranking of all TDA episodes while talking about the problems of this season.

I feel like Dawn could’ve been a huge part of discovering Mal as well and helping Zoey in an effort to bring Mike back.

The best solution for Mal and Duncan is to have Duncan become a jerk trying to beat Mal, and have everyone assume he’s bullying mike. Then have Mail clown Duncan I’m a challenge to show how competent he is. Vote Duncan off and have him be calling out warnings as he is taken away

Nah this is all so true!! He should be a writer of a season 🫣

One of the only things I liked about All Stars was Gwen and Courtney's friendship. Hell half the fandom starting shipping them cause of this. And yeah the back track of Courtney's arch was complete emotional and tonal whiplash. Low key though I totally ship Gwen and Courtney, a couple of best friends burned by too many boys deciding to just support each other and be a power couple, I'm all for it.

I really hate how the show portrayed Mike's Dissociative Identity Disorder, In both seasons and his integration was just awful. There is just so much wrong with it.

Actually, I’ve got something even better! The main story of the actual season is still the same with some changes and with the addition of new characters giving the writers the possibility to develop new friendships, conflicts, and relationships. The episodes are the same as the original with 4 more episodes (2 Aftermath specials and 2 additional challenges) and new scenes added. There's also a four-part Aftermath epilogue/special called "My Big Fat Total Drama All-Stars Wedding", which serves as a season special/finale to transition the season into Total Drama Pahkitew Island much like the specials from Island and Action.

I wish Dawn came back, Her and DJ would become a couple if DJ came back too

I feel like one change that would've been nice is not making all the previous villains useless to prop up Mal

I think it would've made much more sense for Zoe to have known about Mal before everyone else and tried to cover it up to protect Mike. Maybe Mike confesses that he's having problems and asks Zoe to keep it quiet because he can get it under control. Maybe they could even have the Mal thing come out and see distrust between everyone and Zoe when they find out she was covering it up.

It’s crazy how characters like Owen, Harold, Leshawna, Geoff, and Bridget didn’t compete but Sam and Sierra got a chance to

My idea is instead of heroes versus villains, there would be four teams of five, one for each season, made up of the best performers/most prevalent from each season; Owen, Gwen, Leshawna, Geoff, and Izzy from Island, Duncan, Beth, Courtney, Harold, and Lindsay from Action, Heather, Alejandro, Cody, Sierra, and DJ from World tour, and Cameron, Lightning, Zoey, Scott, and Mike from Revenge. I also had the idea that Cody, Sierra, and DJ would make a deal with the other teams to get the three of them to the merge in exchange for throwing the first two challenges to eliminate Alejandro and Heather right away, then eliminating Scott, Lightning, and Courtney, making the remaining contestants think it’s going to be a much more friendly competition from then on, only for Mal to arrive and start manipulating chaos.

1. TDAS version in my way is: Episode 1- 14th Owen (to replace Sam) Villains win heroes lost Episode 2- 13th Lindsay Villains win heroes lost Episode 3- 12th Lightning Heroes win Villains lost Courtney & Gwen switch teams Episode 4- 11th Jo Heroes win Villains lost Episode 5- Non elimination round Villains win heroes lost *Mal switches teams instead of Cameron* Episode 6- 10th Cameron Villains win heroes lost Episode 7- 9th Dakota (to Replace Sierra) Villains win Heroes lost Episode 8- 8th Duncan Heroes win Villains lost MERGE At The 100th Episode Episode 9- 7th Heather : Gwen is immune Episode 10- 6th Gwen : Alejandro is immune Episode 11- 5th Alejandro : Courtney is immune Episode 12- 4th Zoey/3rd Mike : Courtney is immune Episode 13- The final 2 is Courtney winner Scott runner up 2.

Might be an unpopular opinion, but Anne Maria could have been such a good twist main antagonist in Allstars, much better than Mal could ever be.

if they ever made a all star 2 we need Trent,tyler, ezeikle back

It is a crime that Owen did not make it into All-Stars. He even made a cameo in the finale of that season. Why wasn’t he a competitor? At the very least how could you not like his sense of humor?

I think this season suffers from not letting its characters be smarter or more competent. This is usually done in Total Drama in general so that the villains can get away with things and so they don't immediately get voted off and are able to stay to cause more drama (with Heather in TDI, Courtney in TDA, etc.), but it's never been done to this extent before. Many of the characters got nerfed so that Mal could be more believable as a villain, Alejandro is more easily intimidated by Mal than he should have been, Duncan got much more obsessed with his bad boy status and more childish and just insecure in himself, Zoey was more clueless than she had to be, Lindsay was even dumber than she usually is, like serious how could she forget what "pushing" means? I liked one joke where in the very beginning Courtney says she's not making some mistake again and Lindsay's like oh my god, you know how to stop making mistakes, can you teach me? I don't know why but I still remember that joke from the start of All Stars and I think Lindsay should have been used for this kind of humor, instead of just made frustratingly dumb. Heather didn't get a lot of screen time in All Stars, I've noticed that every season she's in but doesn't get as much screen time in is automatically thought to be a worse season (both Action and All Stars have her in them but she's not as present, whereas Island and World Tour have her as one of the main characters and are much better rated by fans). Sierra's far crazier, more delusional and more unrealistic and we never really see her use as many of her skills other than in situations where she's doing something unrelated to the challenges, like when she weaves a basket out of weed to put Cameron into and another basket where she puts her two-headed pet thing. Anyway, her knowledge of all the competitors could have made her into a much better asset to the heroes team, the villains could have been plotting to take out the hero team in some way and she might have been the only person able to see through that because she knew the villains' profiles, personalities and stuff about them that a super fan of the show would know and was thus able to discern what they were plotting. She could still be a liability because she sees Cameron as Cody and the whole obsession with Cody thing, but I'd prefer if the show went down the route of having her become more insufferable by having her be unable to fix her broken phone and have her slowly grow insane without internet, showing her having other weaknesses that aren't just Cody or some animal she's mothering. The point of an All Star season is to see how the different characters interact with each other and I think it would have made sense to write the characters at their best, all of whom have already competed before and thus would be more weary of the rules and more skilled, and not at their worst just so Mal can be a thing. I don't think the Mal plot line is necessarily bad, just that it could have been a sub plot rather than a main theme. In fact, I'd prefer to see more of Gwen and Courtney developing a friendship and Courtney unlearning some of the negative characterization of previous seasons and learning from Gwen how to be a better friend, since a lot of fans didn't like the complete shift from TDI Courtney to TDA Courtney, I think this would be a good way to get fans to like Courtney again and have her come back to some of her TDI characteristics, like being more of a moral goody two shoes than just a whiny, mean person who can't accept things not going her way or constantly finding ways to betray her friends. Side note, it really doesn't make sense that Mal can hear so many of the confessionals and also how exactly he got Courtney's chart from the confessional. Did she just leave it behind? Did he steal it? The show didn't really explain that and it would have been far better if the chart were revealed later on or just not go with that plot line at all. It would have been a nicer story line, had Courtney and Gwen developed a much more genuine connection and a better lesson for the younger audience watching too. I would have also preferred to see the villains working together a bit more than just constantly back stabbing and arguing with each other, even though I recognize that this was supposed to give the hero team an advantage since, let's be honest, the villains team were objectively better players. If you dissect the heroes' and villains' individual members, Lindsay, Sam and Cameron are the weakest players (all heroes) and Scott and Lighting are good generally but lack brains (both villains). The villains team was stacked with people who are great competitors. Heather, Alejandro, Duncan, Joe and Gwen (later Courtney) have always been strong players. This isn't to say that Sierra, Zoey and Mike are bad players, on the contrary, they're all pretty strong, but they're usually the ones carrying their teams (along with Courtney, later Gwen). Anyway, all of this is to say that: 1. If the hero team had been more stacked with better players, then the villains wouldn't have to be as nerfed, making them let their egos get the best of them or having them bicker much more than necessary. This could be done replacing Lindsay, Sam and maybe even Cameron with someone else who is better than them at the competition. Lindsay and Sam could be replaced with literally anyone else, they don't even have to be a powerhouse (it could be Beth, Owen or DJ from the OG cast or Brick, Dawn or B from the TDRI cast). Cameron could be replaced with someone with similar brains but more brawn or other powers (B, who might not be as smart as Cameron but is still intelligent in his own right and is probably more creative and observant than him, or even Dawn, who might not be physically fit or as overtly intelligent but makes up for it with her literal psychic powers that allow her to see others' auras and therefore predict what kind of person they are or what they're feeling, which can be a form of hyper emotional intelligence and observation skill, which is an interesting character trait the writers could have used). This would give us more satisfying villains and stronger heroes. 2. If Mal were less relevant to the plot and were not treated as the main villain, none of the players would have to be nerfed as much as they are, for him to have a believable rise to power in the competition. Also, some problems like how the hell did he go unnoticed when breaking all that stuff, how he got Courtney's chart and even how he suddenly took over Mike's body with just one hit with a shovel, when there have been numerous times in Revenge of the Island where Mike was hit and it didn't end up with him taking over Mike, wouldn't have to be answered. 3. If the season contained less character assassinations, like that of Duncan, Courtney (who already went down hill on Action and World Tour), and to a degree Sierra and Alejandro, it would have been far more interesting as the characters would be duking it out as their real selves, not some debuffed version. I have other thoughts but I think this is enough lol.

honestly it could have been so good they had mostly good characters. and it could have been epic

One thing that pissed me off was that they had every past winner in the season (save for beth for some fuckin reason?) despite everyone knowing they wont win again they could have included characters like harold, cody or brick

im sure somebody has poin ted this out, but Mike doesn't have BPD, which stands for Borderline Personality Disorder, he has DID/OSDD, one of the two, we never got a full background on how his headmates formed, but he has something like or has Dissociative Identity Disorder.
