** While Australia has yet to release ''The Ridonculous Race'' on DVD, ''Total Drama Island (2007)'' remains the only season to be released on DVD in North America from Warner Bros Home Entertainment. And even then, it's the CN version with edited dialogue and the episodes cropped to 4:3 instead of their original 16:9 aspect ratio. It also lacks the reunion special "Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island", despite the back of the box claiming to have it, and instead has the "TD Rundown" recap short in its place.

"False" takes a side when neither have substantial proof; "allegations" is an appropriate neutral tone.


** Starting with ''Island (2023)'', Chris [=McLean=] is voiced by Creator/TerryMcGurrin, ending Creator/ChristianPotenza's 15-year run as Chris from 2007 to 2021. [[WordOfGod According to Terry, this was a creative decision, rather than an executive one.]] Christian Potenza would [[https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=JNsrf_Vii2w clarify]] that, while [[TheOtherMarty he did originally record lines for Chris]] in that season, the decision to recast Chris was a mix of the false sexual allegations against him caused by Sonya Cote that caused Fresh TV to cut ties with him and him losing interest in the franchise due to [[IAmNotSpock disliking being associated with voicing Chris]].

** It's frequently circulated that Tom [=McGillis=] was forced to make Gwen/Trent and Duncan/Courtney break up and to have Gwen date Duncan, and that he explicitly disliked both decisions. The [[https://youtube.com/clip/Ugkx8Jp6YFm1zff1Q7cAadWMRCf7D7ZAVVro?si=ir2znvd0YbWOWf relevant interview clip]] does confirm that the breakups were the form of ExecutiveMeddling to show the realities of teen dating, but Tom shows no indication of disapproving of this decision, and even refers to the executive who requested it as a "friend" and claims she thought hard about the decision. He also claims to be "ambivalent" about the Gwen/Duncan ship (though his tone indicates he skews negative about it), but also says it was a "''writing room decision''", not part of the ExecutiveMeddling.

"A work is bad" is not the same thing as the creators trolling the fans. Not a Gainax Ending either. That's when an ending is deliberately confusing. Not the fates of contestants being unknown

** When the season directors of ''World Tour'' were asked in an FAQ about the GainaxEnding of the season and how things ended with so many loose ends, their reply was, "What loose ends? Ha ha ha!"
** The dismal quality of ''All-Stars'' and the negatively-received twists of its final act have further cemented the staff's trolling status.
