The Ridonculous Race and Total DramaRama have their own pages.
Characters
Think about it. This criminal could have easily escaped from the crazy house near the island that the already famous Chris lived on. Since the psycho with a chainsaw, hockey stick, and hook had escaped from jail to the camp site in that one episode, there must be a jail close to there...
This criminal murdered the original Chris, stole his identity, and possibly had plastic surgery to look like the original Chris. On gaining this false identity, the criminal decided to continue his dastardly bastardly pleasure of hiring interns, setting up obstacles, and forcing the poor interns to test them and fall to their deaths. Since that wasn't enough, the fake Chris then decided to bring teenagers to the island, put them on a TV show, and torture them mentally on television for the sake of money.
- Didn't someone, when they arrived, say that Chris looked different from the posters/ads?
- Yes. Beth said that Chris looked taller on TV.
- Then he'd meet up with the fake Scout Master Lupus
- This'd also explain beyond just pure narcissism how he thought the rubber Chris doll was the cutest thing in the world and 'really understands [him].'
- This theory is becoming more and more likely with recent events...
- Such as?
- Or maybe it happened over the course of the series, didn't Chris have a Flanderization of becoming more sadistic each season, well maybe it was because he got murdered and replaced somewhere along the line.
- As noted above, because Chris looks shorter than he does on TV, this idea wouldn't really make sense.
- This one has a bit of evidence supporting it thanks to the Area 51 episode of season three, "The Ex Files."
- Lindsay seems likely, given all the Chris/Lindsay Ship Fic, and given that Tyler returns in The Musical and he's seen just how much drama Love Dodecahedrons cause. On the other hand, the age difference could torpedo any of this before it gets off the ground.
- Chris' voice actor has confirmed that Chris is flirting with Lindsay.
The most likely candidate? Sierra. She constantly compliments and sucks up to Chris, and so long as Cody's around, he'll likely want her there for the entertainment value. Cody might also be possible, as Sierra would flip if he gets eliminated before her, and since he acts as the lynchpin for Team Amazon, he'd be caught in the crossfire even worse, desperately trying to maintain order — and protect Gwen, which would only make Sierra more incensed if he openly favored Gwen over her.
- This happened in the Peruvian Amazon episode
- I'm backing this one, it seems likely. Or they come back during K2 but Chris would rather them climb it "in their undies" according to the flip book.
- Jossed. They never show up.
Notice how Team Chris has only lost once, and it was because Heather cheated. Then, Chris revealed that it was a reward challenge. It's entirely possible, and likely, that he's rigging the game in their favor.
- Um, if he was rigging for any team, it'd be the one that keeps winning every week even though they're a sucky team. Actually, the only reason they're winning is because Alejandro keeps throwing challenges.
- OP, what's are you talking about? Team Amazon have won five challenges so far, one of which they only won because Alejandro helped them and another because Chef liked freaking exploding donuts, while Team CIRRRRH has only won once. The NY episode was a reward challenge to begin with, since the rewards were already in the apples. Chris didn't meddle with the challenges and he had no way of knowing which team was gonna lose. HOW is the game in their favor?
- Oh, and get this, episode eight's up, Team Amazon go to elimination and guess what? AFTER they vote Chris decides to cancel the elimination. If anything, Chris is rigging the game in Team Amazon's favor.
- He's totally rigging the game in Team Amazon's favor, when the lost both the Amazon and Newfoundland Chris just decided to cancel the elimination.
- Actually, he's only biased against Team Victory. Check out episode 8; if Heather didn't get voted out, it should have been a reward challenge...but Team Victory didn't win a reward (other the first class thing, but that goes to the winning team every episode so it doesn't count).
- Camp Wawanakwa, and probably the film lot as well (possibly the entire Earth that they do the world tour) is an alternate dimension that is only accessible by Chef - the esper or slider, who would be a mix of Koizumi and Kyon (since he plays the grumbling straight man to Chris), plus a whole bunch of Ho Yay. Ever wonder why we see no real people during the world travel sites or in the Aftermath studio? No laws about subjecting kids to this sort of torture? The people in these places are either in a different dimension (where they took Celebrity Manhunt with them) or Chris has bended the wills of those around him.
- Which brings me to my next point. The ridiculous, laws-of-physics-breaking nature of the show that we blame on it being animated could be accounted for by the fact that Chris WANTED it to happen (jumping off a thousand foot cliff or Trent falling five thousand feet without dying) so he could have interesting challenges without the contestants actually dying (as we saw in the Remote Island episodes, even Haruhi wouldn't wish someone dead). It would also explain the increased animal aptitude, the Genre Blind contestants, (as well as their adherence to their stereotypes), etc.
- Why? Because he was bored and used his powers for his own amusement, just like Haruhi. And, especially if he is a not-so-disillusioned Kyon, he would still be looking for supernatural beings. Chef, as above, would probably be the esper or slider. The world tour is to send the contestants throughout those places in order to look for aliens. The movie sets were actually different eras in time, such as the Western, space, caveman, and war genres.
- Finally, the ambiguous age is an indicator that Chris is not all that he seems. Word of God says he was 25 at the start of the show, but Sierra says he was born in 1978, meaning that he is lying to throw us off (since we also don't know the exact dates of the events in Haruhi-verse) to the actual year.
- If anyone's Haruhi, It's Izzy.
- Not sure whether Duncan was complicit or not, but I think that's pretty much confirmed. Chris did strongly hint that he broke the door lock leading to Duncan and Gwen kissing and Tyler witnessing it. Chris also has two motives for pulling such a stunt. First, the obvious angsty-teen-love drama affair is gold for ratings (given how much Blaineley seems to enjoy it.) Second, and more importantly, Chris is still sore over all the crap Courtney pulled in TDA. Thanks to all her lawsuits, his budget was cut and he couldn't indulge himself as much as he wished. He never really got to get back at her in TDA thanks to those overprotective lawyers. Now, however, in World Tour, her lawyer protection is no more. And suddenly, Gwen and Courtney just happen to find Duncan in London? The opportunity was too, too perfect! He knew bringing back and keeping on the guy both of them were in love with would cause tension between them. Engineer a few coincidences here and there, and then sit back and let the players take care of the rest. Ratings skyrocket, revenge is had, and Chris wouldn't be afflicted at all since Courtney would be too angry at Gwen and Duncan (who are completely guilty from any logical standpoint,) to think too hard on 'why' everything happened as it did.
- Plus, could Sierra's mother have taken her Chris obsession too far?
- My guess is that Sierra's mother was a random groupie from Chris's boy band days that he had a one night stand with. Chris probably has no idea that Sierra is his daughter, and if he did he probably wouldn't care.
The main reason is that the writers love Owen, plus the fandom won't complain that much because he's not competing and compared to Chris he's the lesser of two evils.
- The fandom would probably still complain about Owen getting more unnecessary screen time than needed. Contestant or not.
- I had an idea for a fan fiction that involved him becoming a contestant for an episode after being fired, while Chef hosts, to boost up ratings in-universe. It's a good idea, in my opinion.
I also believe Josh and Blaineley of Celebrity Manhunt to be this, considering they're shown to be every bit as sleazy, vice-ridden, and immoral as Chris. Besides, why do you think Josh is so obsessed with catfights? And it's also why Blaineley kept trying to cause tension in Geoff and Bridgette's relationship and then have Bridgette sent to Siberia (once they're separated, she'll have Geoff to herself; the whole ratings and spotlight thing was just a convenient excuse), why she was so friendly with Owen in "Niagara Brawls", and why she was squealing over Justin in the first World Tour Aftermath.
- It's not just Lindsay either. Chris is pretty weirdly happy about Gwen's underwear being exposed in "Who Can You Trust?" and is just generally weirdly friendly with the contestants. And unfortunately, Chef's hands aren't clean in this regard either. He's pretty clearly shown to be attracted to Justin in "Total Drama, Drama, Drama Island" and "Monster Cash." Maybe the hosts aren't outright predators, but they are certainly inappropriate about the contestants at times. They might not even realize it's inappropriate because Chris grew up in the industry and they're generally not respectful towards teenage stars.
- There was also that one time when Chris openly stated he wasn't wearing swim trunks when entering the hot tub with Alejandro..
- Season 1: Chris was thrown in the lake by the guys.
- Season 2: Geoff showed embarassing clips of Chris on live television.
- Season 3: Chris lost his jumbo jet to Sierra, who accidentally destroyed it with the cake she made for Cody.
- Season 4: Chris was arrested after the government caught up to him in the finale. Despite his arrest, he was allowed to host "Total Drama" for two more seasons.
- Season 5: Chris gets little to no punishment for what he did in the ballooned eight and everyone else in All-Stars.
- Season 6 (aka Season 5b): Chris gets absolutely no punishment for what he did to Sky, Shawn, Dave, and Jasmine in the season finale.
Knowing Chris after his arrest in "Revenge of the Island", it is possible that he is still going to be a Karma Houdini in the newer episodes coming soon.
All the contestants made contracts with him and wished to be famous. In exchange, they have to complete the challenges he sets, this universe's equivalent of battles against Witches. Some of them wished to win the million dollars, but only retained possession of the money for a few seconds or minutes.
Instead of becoming magical girls and guys, the campers gained the superpowers detailed in the WMG near the top of the page.
After Total Drama Action, Courtney's lawsuits left Chris utterly broke. Having fallen on hard times, Chris is desperate for his cushy lifestyle back. He hears rumors of Bill and decides to try summoning him. Bill makes a deal with Chris: He'll help him regain his fame and fortune in return for a puppet. Thinking Bill will possess an actual puppet, Chris accepts the deal, only to have his body taken from him by Bill. The reason Chris slowly got more and more sadistic and outlandish in his challenges is that Bill is the real host now, and he's managed to regain a little bit of his power by being in Chris's body for so long.
- That's why Chris obsessed with making her into a villain. He sees the potential for her to be just as sadistic as him.
Why is she hanging out with Heather and Courtney of all people in the trailer? They were the bad guys from Island and Action. And they're her worst enemies! And in one picture, she's throwing a glare at Sierra while everyone else (Heather, Courtney and Cody) is smiling. I don't think she'll get along with Sierra because Sierra will likely see her as a threat to her crush on Cody. If this happens and she takes over the previous roles of Heather and Courtney (dueling with Alejandro?) how far are the writers gonna take throw her character off the rails this time?
- She's hanging out with Heather and Courtney because they're all on the same team, and even then she's seen glaring at them on occasion, as for the Sierra thing, I think that it's either the Cody issue or that Gwen just doesn't like Sierra because of her enthusiastic/spazzy personality.
- Gwen as an antagonist? Actually this isn't a bad idea, in my opinion.
- Gwen could be cheesed off with Sierra for losing her team the challenge, or maybe she could focus her attention on Cody after doing the whole I Want My Beloved to Be Happy Shtick with Duncan, although this is unlikely to happen due to Cartoon Network heavily promoting the Courtney/Duncan/Gwen Love Triangle
- I believe that Sierra will see Gwen as a "friendly rival" for Cody's affection (Think the relationship between Might Guy and Kakashi from Naruto)
- Jossed, she isn't the antagonist, though the love triangle leads some to view her in a negative light.
- Very unlikely to happen
- in season 2, I think if they do get her and Duncan they'll break up and at the very last episode Gwen gets the money and she and Trent are happily reunited.
Come on, don't tell me you don't see the similarities here. They were both unpopular at first, then made a friend or two, then got a boyfriend, then get caught up in a Love Triangle, then get blamed for something really heinous (Gwen pulled this off twice), then become unpopular again, but manage to stick with their respective boyfriends in the end (well, in Gwen's case, for now, and in Elphaba's case, in the musical only).
- How exactly is she a Take That!? Compared to most of the other characters, Gwen is portrayed in a fairly positive light. It's not until later seasons that she starts picking up more negative traits, long after her overall character has been established.
- I think that the above poster meant to say Heather.
- Hey, that actually makes a lot of sense. Thanks for pointing that out, it saved Courtney's character for me.
- Thank you! You just saved Courtney for me as well, and that makes a LOT of sense.
Plus, part of the whole theme of Action is acting. Something Courtney may be quick to remind the others of during the lead-up to The Musical, or the third series proper. Now, whether or not she's believed — or has avoided/will avoid Becoming the Mask — is another thing entirely...
- So you're suggesting that Umbridge somehow got laid?!
- I think I need some Brain Bleach...
- Seconded. But Umbridge and Courtney look nothing alike though...
- Father's genes. Who knew the Imperius curse had so much power?
- I think I need some Brain Bleach...
- Or Umbridge could have adopted Courtney as an infant.
So, if Justin had kept scheming away Courtney would have kept the role she had when she first got back into the show, as the disgruntled Straight Man trying to keep the people around her from screwing up her chances at winning. Which might have still made people within the show see her as a bad guy, but would have been a natural advancement of the character when she's already been screwed out of going as far as she should have through other people's actions once (twice if you count her not getting the million in TDDDI because of the guys refusing to let go of her balloon , which I'm sure she does).
- As of "Sundae, Muddy Sundae, Jossed
- Courtney has been involved in 2 double eliminations beforehand; Owen in Action and Blaineley in World Tour so her getting eliminated with another contestant seems plausible this season. In addition, it would serve as a high mark of her relation with either one. I could see Courtney and Scott taking their relationship seriously after taking the Flush of Shame together just like Sam and Dakota in Revenge. Gwen and Courtney getting eliminated together would be a good closing to Gwen's make-up arc with the latter. Earlier on, Duncan had warned the two about Mal, which they both laughed off which could come to bite them in the ass.
- Jossed, Courtney is eliminated by herself.
No, this plain isn't happening. First of all, it'd be one of the most ridiculous Dracoin Leather Pants ever. Second, Gwen, Owen, and Heather already know what he went to juvie for. Third, his bio says that he's done a lot of crap and the video from his parents (it's in the outtakes) show him doing stuff like the "Happy Nude Year" incident.
- Just let the little fangirl believe
- That comment has made my day.
- Mine too. Worth posting the rebuttal in the first place.
- Here's my theory, Duncan thought if Courtney won she would not share her winnings with him.
- Jossed. Duncan and Dwen kiss in the confessional behind Courtney's back,
- Geoff's transformation into a jerk is because Duncan got along with him best when they were torturing Harold.
- Trent turns into a Stalker with a Crush Satellite Love Interest is because Duncan sees him as a "evil" rival for Gwen.
- Justin being Justin is because Duncan is secretly jealous of his good looks.
- Izzy, Bridgette, Lindsay's, etc. Flanderization is because Duncan never got along with them or knew them as more than one dimensional stereotypes.
- Owen being The Milestone is because Duncan is still angry at him for beating him in TDI when he lost the challenge.
- Leshawna Taking A Level In Jerkass is because Duncan is angry at her for exposing him as a "softie" in TDI.
- Courtney being a jerk is because Duncan liked her more when she was "bad".
I think that's all, but there may be more.
- Jon Heder would play Harold. Tina Majorino as Beth, her character Deb looks just like her, just give her Nerd Glasses.
- And Ellen Page as Gwen.
- Weird. I always though that if there were a live action Total Drama movie, Megan Fox would play Heather.
Did she really just happen to own a framed photo of Duncan? She also instinctively grabbed onto to Duncan in 'Masters Of Disasters' in exactly the same way Courtney did back in 'The Sucky Outdoors'. Heather was also the person who reacted worst to Courtney's re-appearance in TDA (at least before Courtney managed to alienate her team).
- That actually sort of makes sense, they do have quite a lot of Belligerent Sexual Tension.
- The reason Heather is denying it so hard fits in with her Gwen complex - if Gwen likes Duncan then obviously he isn't deserving of being liked by Heather. And of course if they really do hook up that 'proves' to Heather that he wasn't worthy in the first place.
Just hear this out, will ya? Heather has spent over a year now trying to make Gwen's life a living hell, even when geography separated theme. Plus, she has a copy of Gwen's outfit, and a Gwen wig. Something is happening in Heather's head; if it's not love, it's a very dangerous obsession of the highest level.
- Think of this way: you're Heather - beautiful, smart, popular. Suddenly some loser Goth humiliates you on national television, cheats you out of a lot of money and ends up more popular than you! And thanks to her you're own stock has plummeted to the point where you can't even get a date in the school you used to run. No wonder Heather's obsessed with Gwen - she's baffled and outraged that such an obvious (from her point of view) loser is beating her. And maybe a part of her - the part of her that's desperately lonely and upset - wishes she was Gwen. Gwen has friends and boyfriends and Heather has neither. Of course being Heather the only way she knows how to deal with it is to lash out at the girl she envies.
Due to the fact that he's the only contestant who wanted to team up with her in Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, the only contestant through out most of the second season to actually be nice to her and he's probably the closest thing Heather has to a friend. But she denies it because 1. it won't look good for her image to be in love with the "alpha geek" and 2. she fears what Leshawna would do to her.
- Heather is shown admiring Harold and trying to use num-yos like him in the third Aftermath. That would be great at TDWT, Heather and Harold versus Gwen and Duncan battling at the challenges.
- Jossed as she is now with Alejandro, plus Harold seems to have dropped his attraction to her though he is one of her helpers in the finale.
Think about it, Leshawna is the only person, man or woman, Heather's shown any genuine affection for. Even when Harold tried to get close to her and help her, when no one else would, she rejected both him and his friendship, but when Leshawna was facing torment from the other contestants, then she finally thought of someone other than herself, and spoke in Leshawna's defense.
- That could also be why she rejects Harold, both because she doesn't want Leshawna angry at her for stealing her "ginger baby" from her and because he is competition for Leshawna's affections.
- She'll end the season a Jerkass Woobie.
- Wasn't she already a Jerkass Woobie?
- Even if she is one now she'll end up much more so
- He will be a antagonist and outwit and betray the other campers, but his plans will fall apart when he falls for one of the girls, most likely Heather.
- Heather would probably exploit Alejandro's affection for her, like he will do to Bridgette and Lindsay
- My money's on Noah.
- But hasn't Noah already fallen for Alejandro's manipulation? If anything, team Amazon is the only team that doesn't admire Alejandro, so perhaps it's Cody instead?
- Noah's smart enough to see through his deception after a while, also Cody has a good chance of facing Alejandro's wrath
- You may be right, in the third episode Noah doesn't seem all that impressed with Al's monster movie idea like the others are, and perhaps Cody's conflict with Alejandro is what's foreshadowed by Al knocking him down in the TDA special?
- Considering that Cody's role is shaping up to be keep Team Amazon from destroying each other, it seems very likely Alejandro would consider him a threat.
- If Alejandro does, he'll probably frame Gwen.
- ...and then, when Cody heals and accuses Alejandro, he can claim poor Cody's just been seduced by a terrible girl who's using her looks...man, this is falling in place so beautifully.
- Jossed
- My money's on Noah.
- Nah, Tyler called him Al in the Japan episode. Personally, it was probably just because it's... Owen.
- Sort of. The Amazon episode reveals that he doesn't like nicknames because they soil his proper name.
- CONFIRMED. As of the final episode. His Big Brother Bully constantly called him that.
- He hates being called Al, because it looks like AI or Artificial Intelligence.
- Well, if he wasn't a robot before, he is one now.
- Mostly Jossed. In the preview, a lot of the contestants are breaking artwork. However, Lindsay is seen CLEARLY with a parachute on her back.
In case people do not know, in the Peruvian Amazon episode, Alejandro will get a villainous Eye patch so maybe as World Tour continues, he will suffer Amusing Injuries that will make him more and more evil looking
- Okay, if that was true, that would be the most awesome theory EVER. Sadly, it doesn't happen, but on the finale he gets put into a robot suit. Maybe if he does come back he'll look more sinister and evil.
- The phrase translates to "To the dead donkey, barley to the tail", meaning (paraphrasing) "You should enjoy life, for at the when you die, you can't expect anything (fame, glory, etc.)" Kind of ironic, considering Alejandro wants to bring everyone down and win. Add Owen's nickname for him ("Al"), and add in his last name {"Burromuerto"), and you've got something.
- Yeah, this is very likely to happen. Or even worse, it foreshadows Alejandro's ultimate demise. We already know that Alejandro is willing to do anything to keep his place. My guess is that by the finale, he'll have transformed from an Expy of Justin to the most genuinely threatening antagonist the series has ever had and this will be his karma.
- I disagree. He looked genuinely surprised at the explosion and Alejandro didn't know he was gonna get voted off, remember? He thought Heather voted for Cody, making a tiebreaker. Thats why he gets so ticked off when he sees that she voted for him instead.
They're both attractive latino males with a tendency to rip off their shirt and are both chick magnets who can attract girls with ease. Need I say more?
- Good one, but sadly not likely to happen. Question: If Al's brother could be in a future season, what about the siblings of other contestants? Gwen has a brother, Owen has several, and Lindsay has two sisters...
- Confirmed but Downplayed Jose was Alejandro's opponent to box in All-Stars, and he was antagonistic.
Think about it. Alejandro probably began to develop a "crush" on Heather sometime near Broadway, Baby! but he realized in the end of the episode that everyone on her team practically hated her, so Alejandro started to flirt with LeShawna so she could get voted off. He figured that if he could manage to get everyone off Team Victory first, then he could have some time to make everyone on Team Amazon turn against someone on their team besides Heather. Why else would he have hit that board to make DJ lose in Jamaica Me Sweat? Then when Duncan came back and Tyler knew something about him, Al thought it would be about Courtney, thus making a plan to make everyone on Team Amazon turn against her. Once he found out it was about Gwen and Duncan kissing, he made Tyler spill the beans because if it was about Courtney and Gwen, then Heather would at least be safe for a while. Once Courtney managed to get everyone on her team to vote off Gwen, he started to flirt with her to get her voted off. Once everyone got into individuals, Alejandro decided it was time to stop protecting Heather because he didn't want to let his feelings get in the way of the game. Sorry this is so long. . .
- Trent was heartbroken, and went insane, by Duncan and Gwen's newly formed relationship in Total Drama Action.
- Courtney feels the same pain as Trent when she found out as well.
- Courtney finally reached her limit and swore revenge, while Trent accepted the relationship.
- Previews of Ep. 10 have him trying to warn the rest of the group and failing. More likely that Mal will try to have him eliminated.
- Makes sense, as he is VERY smart. If he's Total Drama's Final Winner, Teletoon is forgiven. For everything.
- Somewhat Jossed. The third season is over, and while Noah appeared in the season, he came nowhere close to winning. He may however, win either season 5 or 6.
- That would explain the ridiculously oversized forehead perfectly. And probably most of the Ho Yay too.
- Um, I disagree with the Ho Yay bit, since their interactions are most certainly just friendly, but I do think that Noah may simply be acting protective and wants Owen to stay away from a girl that could potentially eat his arm off while he's asleep, they are best friends after all.
- Plus, it could be a Friend Versus Lover situation, with Noah being jealous of how much attention Owen gives Izzy
- As of "I See London..." it's probably the other way around now, what with Owen spending the entire episode trying to make Noah laugh and being close to tears after his elimination.
- I support this theory. After all, he has more of a fandom than Tyler, a similar popularity to Cody, while getting the amount of screen time as Zeke.
- On a related note, Noah's screen time is deliberately limited so that his fans won't complain about him getting derailed. A character with such a stubborn personality should not be very malleable, so the development should be limited to growth and dwindling of existent traits. It makes sense if we think about the characters who had pretty bad derailment and the ones who didn't have that bad derailment—all of the latter have less screen time than most of the former.
Also:
- Izzy has a fear of flying, the plane in the second episode of BTG is creepy as hell.
- The name changing of
BartBevisBerton andHomerOmarn reflect Izzy's constant name changes in the series. - The series possibly started during her breaking up with Owen in the first season, so that's what the Omarn vs. Toadfish is all about: Marge is her (so if this was true, then according to the third episode, she is probably bisexual), Omarn is Owen, Toadfish is Justin, Stonefish is Duncan, and Berton... Trent? The fourth episode's plot seems to be Omarn going to fight Toadfish with Marge siding with him, implying that the two (Izzy and Owen) have gotten together again.
- Following the above, Bart the General used to have a one episode-per-year format, but that stopped during episode 4. The beginning could be shortly after the break up with stealth complaining against Owen by using "Omarn" to represent him. The abuse is toned down as Izzy forgives him, and now that they are hooked up again, Izzy has no reason to continue the series anymore (as it was made back when she hated Owen) and has slowed down in making the next episode (there might be one, the end of the fourth has a "TBC" screen on it), which may be the last and have Marge and Omarn killing Toadfish and Stonefish for good.
- Izzy can upload vids from the future, that's the only way this can be possible.
- Alejandro might be one of these.
- Both are awesome too!
- That's actually a funny idea. Granted, the Frizz is less manic than Izzy, but perhaps even she can calm down as she grows up? And goes back to using her actual name—Izzy was just a random pseudonym, like E-Scope, you see.
- Uhm... frizzle to Izzy! Its not even a fake name it's just a shortening! Either way this is my new canon :)
- That's actually a funny idea. Granted, the Frizz is less manic than Izzy, but perhaps even she can calm down as she grows up? And goes back to using her actual name—Izzy was just a random pseudonym, like E-Scope, you see.
- Season 5 will be called Total Drama Time Warp. And it will be AWESOME!
- Jossed
- The Izzy storyline not being resolved by having Owen break Izzy out of Area 51 followed by her snapping back to "normal" and giving Owen a big kiss is a waste of a perfectly good opportunity.
- Jossed
- jossed
- Jossed. Niagara Brawls has no Izzy in sight.
It's been noticed by a lot of fans how Izzy seemed to totally disappear in the episodes leading up to her elimination, appearing only a little bit in songs and having only a few lines (or none at all) in certain episodes. It can't be because her voice actress can't sing, Katie Crown has a number of comedic songs and would've been perfect for some of the comedical numbers this season. Even after Izzy was eliminated due to injury (in a quick, convoluted way), fans were certain she'd come back at some point, as she had the previous two seasons. It's been speculated above that she might've been set to return in the Area 51 episode, possibly held captive by the government, this was even set up by Noah asking Owen about the government taking Izzy away.
As seen on Katie Crown's website, she's apparently moved to New York City and has been going back and forth between there and Toronto frequently for her stand-up comedy career. She also voices a major character in Stōked, voice sessions for that show probably take up a lot of her time. It might be possible that because of Katie Crown's other commitments, her character's role in Total Drama World Tour had to be sharply reduced, and as a result, several storylines involving Izzy were hastily changed.
Localizer: A bikini? I'm sorry, but we cannot violate our princi-
Justin: (Takes off shirt)
Localizer: What's your name?
Justin: Justin Bailey
- You know what? That's exactly what I always thought, and I think an experience like that would be specially frustrating to him (Because everybody was so nice to him until that moment). To most people wouldn't be a big deal, but to someone like him would be almost traumatic, since he's just to used to get whatever he wants
- ... Justin in leather pants, much?
- Maybe...and I'm a guy...
- No offense, but this is obvious as heck.
- Yet still Jossed. Huuuuuuh.
- He was voted off first because he was a sexist pig in a team which had a significant portion of girls. Also, how does being the first to go qualify you as the best camper?
- It's wild mass guessing. When did tropers need proof?
- It beats saying that Ezekiel is a time lord.
- And let me, the one who made this guess in the first place, put it this way, he might be the only camper that read all of the contract, so he knows about season two. He only made sexist comments once... which could mean he was trying to get himself voted off so he could relax until the end of the season. The contract pointed out everything from two of Chris' favorites going back to possibly being picked to challenge the "winner" (say, Courtney and Heather are in the "final two" Courtney "wins" and Chris say she has to pick one more opponent to come back and go against her). Ezekiel made himself look as bad as a player as possible so someone will pick him at the end. Also, notice how the pool of gelatin comes out of nowhere. Ezekiel put it there — yes, he put it there (he's strong, if this guess is true). He hacked into the website and changed his biography to look like he's a sexist, got himself out, then got hit by Courtney in Haut camp-ture/after the dock of shame to cover up, used the diving board to increase the chance of people tying and got himself out the tie. Then, if someone "wins", they will pick Ezekiel (because they're still mad at his comments, they think he is a bad player, or both). Checkmate.
- TL;DR version: because Rule of Funny says so.
- Uh, let me just point out, your third point is entirely fictitious. That's hardly a "checkmate".
- this could actually happen, due to the fact that he is lurking in the shadows in the Japan episode
- Jossed. [[spoiler: He becomes a threat, but not the Big Bad.
- H'm, not a bad idea. He showed up sneaking around in the cargo hold (?) in Super Crazy Happy Fun Time In Japan with creepy red eyes when Team Amazon was picking out their stuff for the commercial.
- Confirmed. He grabs the money in the finale, though he falls into the volcano.
- Confirmed. He grabs the money from Heather or Chris depending on the ending, though he falls into the volcano with it.
- Jossed, as he's used in a challenge, becomes an obstacle in the penultimate episode and steals the money.
- That actually makes a lot of sense. I actually had a completely unrelated theory about five years ago that Coach Z's "real name" was Ezekiel... This only leaves the question of... what the hell happened to his mouth, nose, and ears?
- Easy. He makes another offhand sexist comment, Eva is within earshot, and the end result is physical disfigurement.
- or, his disfigurement comes from falling into the volcano.
- Easy. He makes another offhand sexist comment, Eva is within earshot, and the end result is physical disfigurement.
- More evidence: Zeke is best known for making an unintentionally-sexist comment in Season 1. Coach Z once apologized to an angry Marzipan for an offscreen "inapprahpriate" comment. More than likely, he was hitting on her, but maybe it was actually a sexist remark.
- I think you're confusing your tenses. The one you used implies that this is a future event.
- With the remaining contestant having to race to Hawaii, and a volcano is the final challenge (most likely where Alejandro will toss the briefcase) no doubt will see the movie referenced .
- Confirmed
- Jossed
- Jossed.
- Jossed, he's more of an obstacle.
- Probably because its more similar to rat rabies from the cargo hold than actual zombification. Still hope he gets some medical attention in between seasons though.
- Dude. This.
- His feral transformation and behavior is partially due from him suddenly remembering his past life and going mad as a result
- I also started to doubt of this theory but for other reason: see, there are almost 200000 followers of TDWT in Facebook. Surely there are lots of bots, but, even so, there are much people that watch TDWT. And, we ask, how many of these followers read Total Drama Comeback (which incidentally has a page with exactly 4 followers)? Or better, how many of these followers know that there such things as fanfics? I'm not sure about the trolling part, but I'd like to know what the writers actually had in mind when they chose this path.
- Let me guess, Gwody shipper?
- Nope. I'm just giving a WMG that Sierra's secretly insane, at least I didn't say she's a Time Lord or something.
- Depressingly you're probably right, although her affection for Chris and Heather could be just good old Draco in Leather Pants-ism
- This is pretty much confirmed in this teaser
- Let me guess, Gwody shipper?
- That'd be an awesome fanfic, but way too dark for the show.
- It might actually happen due to Sierra saying "Who needs friends when I have a Cody!?"
- When she finally breaks...
- Sierra is playing a Batman Gambit to get on the show and win the million dollars.
- Sierra showed up at the right time and was able to get in on the contest.
- She is intentionally acting like Lindsay on a sugar rush to give everyone a false since that she is harmless.
- She created sixteen different websites about this show. She knows the rules and the contestants backwards and forwards.
- She has already shown to be very multi-talented, for example she can sing like and angel. And she clearly knows what to look for during the challenges, while at the same time appearing to be a ditz.
- Sierra named her team Chris! That should raise alarm bells right there.
- There is a devious mind behind that sweet face of hers.
- She knows that Heather will make an alliance with her and stab her in the back when she is now longer needed.
- So, Sierra will use Heather first.
- Sierra will make it a game to see how far she can push Heather over the edge.
- Before this is over, Sierra will drive Heather stark raving mad. And we will have the fun in watching it happen.
- not originally mine, but Paul_Cousins' idea
- So far, Sierra playing Heather is true.
- also, she was fake crying to make Cody pay attention to her.
- not originally mine, but Paul_Cousins' idea
- Jossed, Alejandro is the villain.
- You better believe Sierra does, and she does use it, but to Alejandro's advantage...kind of.
- she also might have stuff on the campers
Sierra doesn't care if she wins or not, she just wants to get into Cody's pants, so she'll tell Heather that she'll make an alliance with her if she becomes her Cyrano. Bonus points because Heather despises her competition for Cody's affection - Jossed
........Beth on the other hand
she'll threaten to tell everybody about his embarrassing secrets (if she knows a lot about Chris, just think about what she knows about someone she's really obsessed with) - Jossed
Only for Rule of Funny
- Jossed because of The "Am-AH-Zon Race"
It was working, right until she blew up the plane and got eliminated in Alejandro's place. Once it got down to the final three, Sierra would likely have no problem getting Cody to vote off Heather, and then either have him let her win, the two of them would split the million, or Sierra would pull something similar to what Heather did and then take the million herself.
- Woah, are you me? I was just thinking this the other day.
She's Demonstrated Value (winning challenges for her and Cody's team), Enganged him Physically (speaks for itself), and Nurtured Dependence (I've lost count of how many times she's saved his life). By the end of the season he's started to cozy up to her, giving her the perfect opportunity to Neglect him emotionally in Season 4 (or 5).
Sierra's shown to be highly Genre Savvy when it comes to the nature of the Show Within a Show and showing Obfuscating Stupidity in general. She's seen the show back and forth, knows each of the camper's personalities enough to possibly have manipulated them without anyone realizing it, and was intending on Cody winning.
So, with all that in mind, she knew Alejandro was evil from the get-go: she was using Heather while pretending to be used by her, and since she knows the show's tropes so well, Alejandro might as well have been wearing an Obviously Evil sign all the time. Note that she considers his fans to be loco.
The reason she never told anyone? Because she wanted Cody to win! She knew Alejandro would go around manipulating everyone left and right, causing a good deal of the World Tour eliminations. Sierra figured that it would help Cody win if Alejandro handled everyone else, and cooperated with him on voting out Owen both to make him think she was on his side and because she was really hoping it would make her and Cody's marriage legal. (Obviously not, but hope springs eternal.) It's notable that this plan actually did work, up until the end, as her elimination was due to her blowing up the plane.
It's stated that Sierra's using Obfuscating Stupidity to seem a non-threatening contestant to the serious players like Heather and perhaps Alejandro, if the above theory is accurate. However, take a closer analysis at some of the things Sierra has done.
Significant here is that in her search to find out all she could on the contestants, Sierra is shown to have hacked into government computers to do just that. That requires an ENORMOUS about of hacking skills and computer know-how, and that would be if you're a character in a spy genre; Sierra's just a teenage girl in high school. The fact that she was able to do this, possibly from a home computer, would lead to levels of absurd ingenuity.
The interpretation of this is that Sierra is incredibly skilled; take a look at all the various New Powers as the Plot Demands she shows off all the time. Possibly, Sierra's actually a prodigy of sorts or at least vastly more intelligent than she reveals. It could be a case of faking Idiot Hero because she finds it more entertaining, or she thinks it'll make people like her more.
In accordance with the above theory, she should be at a higher schooling level at the very least, not in high school like non-government computer hackers.
The idea here is that she's certainly capable of doing so, but she's not very interested in that; Sierra simply doesn't really bother trying hard if she doesn't find the subject matter interesting enough.
When she DOES find something intriguing, though, well...she hacked into a government computer. And later rigged up a hot-air balloon from plane debris and a rocket-powered wheelchair in the same episode.
- ... Let me guess, Sierra fan?
- Look at his clothes, almost nothing about them seem to have a personal touch. Sweatpants, blue shirt, beige sneakers. But he always seems extremely depressed whenever he uses a confessional. Then you realize: maybe his outfit is uniform, and he has been to a psych ward. He has to wear velcro shoes and sweat pants so he doesn't try to kill himself to rid the burden of having MPD. The only reason he was back home was to do his audition, under his parents' supervision, and his doctors were worried about him going on the show, should he be rejected from the others and fall back in a loop. The necklace under his shirt from his Vito personality is something he snuck past the doctors, maybe something of sentimental value.
- Izzy didn't use multiple personalities to get back on the show; she used her recurring Do Not Call Me "Paul" to trick Chris into putting a fake name onto the paperwork the formalized her elimination. This likely wouldn't work for Mike unless someone forgot which name he used to sign up for the show.
- It's possible that Mike was deeply affected by the death of a close relative, which resulted in MPD.
- Svetlana is very athletic and has keen reflexes, while Manitoba Smith is apparently good with rope.
- Mike even dresses just like Peter. note
- Mike apparently has a thing for girls with red hair. He even confirms it in "Runaway Model" when he compliments Zoey's hair.
- Mike's constant use of the confessional prior to his elimination are his take on Inner Monologues. Why else would he use it to [[Ultimate Spider-Man talk about every thought on his mind]]?
- The Malevolent One is the polar opposite of Mike, hence why some fans call him Venom.
- Manitoba is Jasmine (both are dark-skinned wilderness survivalists, and both wear a slouch hat. PLUS their both Awesome Aussie).
- Svetlana is Sky (athletic-skilled Passionate Sports Girls, who are very nice)
- Mal is Max (troublemakers, who are just '''addicted''' to evil and take pride in it, and anyone noticed their names differ by one letter)?
- Vito is Shawn (antisocial tough guy, who is later revealed to be not so tough after all and mainly serves as comic relief). To make it even better; Shawn is an Expy of Duncan, and Vito shares Duncan's theme music. How about that?
- Chester was the hardest to place, due to his excess age; I'm a little iffy on this one, but for now I'm going with Dave because he's a hyponchriac and germaphobe, and hence often acts as The Load. So he's sort of fills the role of the complainer like Chester.
So that's my take on it. What do you think?
And if you're still in any further doubt, remember Mal's Demonic Dummy in "Sundae Muddy Sundae"? Complete with a flaming eye. Still have any more doubt after that?
- Svetlana manifests whenever someone either mentions her, talks about the Olympics, or is given a pep talk. This implies that Mike was in some kind of situation where someone expected something great of him but he didn't feel he could deliver. Considering that Svetlana's whole deal is her interest in the Olympics and sports, its possible that Mike may have been pressured into sports at a young age, or possibly forced into it by his parents, and to deal with their absurd pressure on him to succeed and become famous, he manifested Svetlana. It's also possible that after Svetlana manifested that his parents may have removed him from sports altogether to avoid their child "embarrassing" them, which means that all that pressure on him was All for Nothing. This would explain why current Mike shows little real interest in sports and is such a lanky dude, while Svetlana is obsessed with them (and is quite good at it, too).
- Chester appears whenever Mike is frustrated or angry about something. Chester is a Grumpy Old Man whose hard to take seriously, but he's also surprisingly quite smart and perceptive of other people, so its possible that at home, whenever Mike got genuinely angry with other people, that there was some kind of swift retribution to that anger and Chester manifested to shield him from it psychologically. Perhaps whenever adults in his life got fed up when Mike was angry, Chester would manifest to dissipate the tension or potentially mock whoever had pissed Mike off (which would explain why Chester manifests as an elderly man, as a clear jab to an older person). Even if Chester couldn't convince the other person to back off, it would still serve to block the abuse from Mike's memory.
- Vito manifests specifically whenever Mike is shirtless. While this is Played for Laughs, it's a bit concerning that Mike's most physically confrontational personality (besides Mal) manifests when he is in a state of undress. It's possible that Vito manifested as a way to protect Mike from a situation that specifically involved him having to take off his shirt. For many individuals with DID, unfortunately, sexual abuse is quite common.
- Manitoba Smith is a survivalist that manifests when Mike wears a hat. It’s likely that Mike was placed into some kind of life-or-death scenario that required for him to use all of his survival know-how to escape (and the hat was probably a way to motivate himself to do it).
- Mal, at first, seems to be the odd one out, since he is the only aspect of Mike that seems purely villainous, and unlike the other alters, Mal seems to have little care for Mike in general and loves being involved with criminal activity (if Duncan’s testimony is anything to go by). However, it’s quite possible that Mal served a similar purpose to Vito in that he was meant to physically protect Mike; perhaps what landed Mike in juvie in the first place was a crime he didn’t commit. After being exposed to a bunch of other delinquents like Duncan, Mike was forced to imitate those around him to avoid being bullied or targeted. Unfortunately, this worked a bit too well and he ended up Becoming the Mask, and Mal became The Dreaded as a result, forcing Mike to suppress him in order to live a normal life. When Mal was reawakened on the island, the reason for his evil behavior is because he’s still stuck in the same mindset he had during Mike’s time in juvie and naturally tries to dominate everyone around him because it's the only existence he knows. This is why he can’t understand why Zoey and Cameron care about Mike; he was cultivated in an environment where he could only look after himself. He sees the other alters as “weak” compared to him because they are designed to help Mike, not Mal, survive in the world. In a twisted way, he may actually be trying to "help" Mike by usurping him as the primary identity and suppressing the other alters; he genuinely believes that the real world is as ruthless as the juvenile detention center, and thinks Mike is unequipped to handle it.
- Mal was originally Mike. 'Mike's developed 'imaginary friends' in the form of his alternate personalities, but he was always able to keep them under control. As a young boy 'Mike' liked to cause trouble for everyone and eventually landed himself in juvenile detention. To assert his rule he had everyone call him the Malevolent One (Malevolent meaning wishing evil or harm to another or others), or Mal for short. Mike, as in Mike, was Mal 's conscious, not one of Mal 's personalities. The other personalities grow to fear Mal as he gets more evil and is no longer the friend they used to have, as Mal has completely cut off Mike. After Mal got out of juvie, Mal was going to go back to spreading destruction, so Mike decided that they (Mike and the other personalities) needed to stop Mal. During the struggle to take over, Mal hits his head allowing an opening for the others to attack. They 'defeat' Mal and Mike takes over, which the other personalities aren't happy about (they each think they should be the one to take over), so they give Mike a lot of trouble until he asserts himself during Revenge of the Island. The bump on the head partially sealed Mal causing him to lose the ability of complete control, which has been split up between the different personalities, so Mal waits for a good time to strike. When Mike takes the personalities it's actually a Nice Job Breaking It, Hero moment, giving Mal back some of his power. Along with that every time Mike bumps his head it partially releases Mal. When Scott hit Manitoba!Mike in the head Mal was strong enough to get his revenge on the personalities for betraying him. He destroys, or suppresses the personalities, but can't do the same to Mike because Mike is his conscious, the good side of his actual personality.
- Mike was the original. When Mike was younger he used to think that the personalities were his imaginary friends and Mal was the first one. Mal encouraged Mike to do bad things, which made it easier for Mal to takeover until eventually Mal completely took over as the main personality. Eventually Mike got tired of Mal being in charge and fought Mal for control. The rest is basically the same as the first theory.
- Addendum to this one : Mike actually let Mal take over when he went to juvie, because he thought Mal would be most likely to survive but also because he wanted 'vicious' Mal to mess with the bad people there. Hence why, when Mal takes over in All Stars, Mike mentioned that this time Mal was messing with good people and that he should stop.
- When Mike and Zoey get married, they end up having four kids and Mike decides to name them after his past personalities ( Although I don't think he would name his kid Mal after all that's happened ) and the kids end up being the reincarnations of said personalities. That way Chester, Svetlana, Vito and Manitoba could become their own person...and Mal...I have no idea. As cool as he is I don't think Mike would name anyone after him.
- One of his children will be an old man?
- Lol, funny right. I don't think he would be an actual old man, maybe he'd have his one eye closed all the time and complain about everything and just act like an old man. The thought of that is funny as heck!
- I can see Ann Maria flirting with Vito .Jr
- One of his children will be an old man?
Miscellaneous
- Heather's hair did not grow back at all during TDA because it's artificial (the herbal tea thing was likely denial at work). She had it replaced between TDA and TDWT and opted for shorter hair, thinking it would be less vulnerable.
- Ezekiel had some upgrades installed to make him a more effective farm boy. A lack of proper maintenance caused his degeneration in TDWT.
- Alejandro's home country has developed into a major technological center. This made it feasible for him to have himself enhanced in a misguided effort to live up to his family name.
- Cody is a pure human, so his injuries last longer than those of the other contestants. He'd have died in "Phobia Factor" if not for the aforementioned advanced medical technology.
- Courtney was a pure human in TDI. She had several upgrades installed for TDA, but Cybernetics Ate Her Soul and in the end she had to be downgraded following complications resulting from whatever she did with Duncan after the TDA finale. By TDWT she was in stable condition, if somewhat irritable.
- Justin has a holoprojecter installed on his body to present the image of each Woman's perfect looking man (with a computer added to his brain that probes there minds for that data) unfortunately (for him) Courtney's implant's allowed her to see though the projection.
- this explains the super hero flick episode. Chris was testing them to see if any would recognize their potential.
- Justin - Mind Control. He just thinks people listen to him because he's good looking. That's why it's more effective on girls, but that's just a mental block.
- It might be the power of heart. It may not be a lame power after all.
- It's not Heart per se. Heart can only be used for good.
- Besides, DJ has the power of heart or something like it.
- It might be the power of heart. It may not be a lame power after all.
- DJ - can talk to animals or transform into one. The guy can mimic almost any animal call and can run perfectly on all fours. And he's very close to animals, specifically rabbits.
- Cody - Healing Factor. He got mauled by a bear and got injuries bad enough to warrant casts on both arms, a neck brace, and a wheelchair. Yet he was fine in episodes that take place less than two weeks later.
- No, that's due to the "20 Minutes into the Future" WMG above.
- maybe he's a architectural genius, when motivated. That Gwen head couldn't have been easy to put together on the spot.
- That or electro-man. See how he supes up a dodge ball in Dodgebrawl.
- Katie/Sadie - They're the same person. When "S'Kadie" was a baby, she was bored because she had no one to play with, and so she split into two slightly different babies. They were then separated and raised by different families.
- They could probably take that power further and merge, or divide into more people - you know, once they get that they have powers.
- Also explains why they're ditzes. They literally have half a brain.
- Owen - He apparently has the ability to eat anything and to produce large amounts of toxic gases.
- Izzy - A fledgling Chaos goddess. She can do just about anything as long as no one sees it coming.
- She's like a human infinite improbability drive.
- Courtney- A She-Hulk. She's weak and puny... until she gets angry. Then she suddenly becomes able to rip a lamp post out of the ground! It would explain why Eva never pummeled her and how she convinced people to vote off Sadie in Who Can You Trust?
- While Eva didn't pummel her, she did try to stab her with a stick.
- Nah, her powers immediate future precognition with a bit of super strength. Hence kung fu-Courtney in Action. She becomes a jerk in Action because she realized she had powers. If everyone else did the same, her competence wouldn't stand out.
- I like to think that Courtney is some sort of female Super-Soldier. Her CIT training was probably part of a secret military program.
- Duncan - He-Hulk. He lifted Owen and beat up an alligator. And a WHALE in season two.
- Perhaps he's a Shapeshifter. He's shown to be a pretty good actor in the second season.
- Seconded. The most he's developed of these powers is mimicry.
- There's one point in the viking episode when his pirate voice sounds exactly like Owen. The hook could also be a morphed hand.
- Seriously where did he get that hook from? Those he randomly just carry a hook around.
- Shapeshifting could also explain his super strength: he's just moving the muscles in his body around to where he needs them.
- Healing Factor make's more sense given the amount of abuse he takes compared to the other campers
- His healing factor could also be connected to the shapeshifting, like Kamala Khan.
- Trent - Immortality. It's the lame kind of immortality where he can still get hurt but is guaranteed never to die.
- Similar to Cody's.
- Maybe for him it can be self inflicted and self regenerated. Like how he gets a rather badly sprained ankle in Action, then it's better five minutes later.
- Wait, I got it! Trent is a contortionist, super double jointed all over his body and made of rubber.
- Noah - Teleportation. Ever wondered why we never saw him jump off the cliff?
- I would say something along the lines of superhuman intelligence, but that seems a bit too obvious.
- This explains how he dodges the lasers. He teleports around them.
- Bridgette - Jinx from Teen Titans. Doesn't it seem odd how she can blindly kick a tiny ember and make it land in exactly the right place to burn down the tent? Or loosen the cable that's holding the stage light directly above Courtney, upside down and with her feet? She's quite acrobatic, too.
- Or Eris, goddess of chaos. They've even both got the blonde ponytail. And had their personalities dramatically altered (Eris went from idiot Valley Girl to a more competent, sadistic villain; Bridgette went from the Granola Girl Only Sane Man to only existing to play Slap-Slap-Kiss with Geoff.)
- Heather - Reality Warper. If she looks like she is going to be out, then "Hey, look! I got the chest with invincibility!" This explains a LOT about Haute' Camp-ture; in it, she used her powers on Chris to bring up the horrible, horrible logic and made everyone into idiots (hate the vote off, blame Heather). Chris got SO ticked off that she messed him up that he got her out on I Triple Dog Dare You. Unlike the others, however, she possibly knows she has this power.
- However, it seems that the law of Equivalent Exchange comes along with this power - whenever she uses it (knowingly or not) in her favor, something unexpectedly horrible happens to her (saving Lindsay from elimination by making Canadian police take Izzy resulted in her losing her eyebrows, eliminating Leshawna resulted in her own elimination and making the railway appear in the middle of nowhere in Drumheller resulted in volcano eruption). That would also explain why she receives some of the most severe damage in the show.
- No, she's a telepath, like Emma Frost. See how she slices up the apple in Broadway Baby with her nails? She just temporarily became made of diamond. She seems to have a level of control over other campers because she can read minds to know exactly how to manipulate them. This also explains why she isn't affected by Alejandro's stolen mind control.
- Gwen - Waterbender. She somehow managed to find Geoff's camera after she threw it into a great big lake and then acted as if it was nothing. She can bloodbend, too, as evidenced in "Basic Straining"; all the other campers got high from the blood rushing to their head, but Gwen was mysteriously unaffected.
- Ezekiel - Hate Plague.
- Possibly he infects peoples minds on a large uniformed scale. Unfortunately, he hasn't figured how to make them feel good about him instead of bad yet.
- Actually, seeing the clip of the Ezekiel shapes cloud of vapor in the aftermath, I'd say he's got intangibility and can phase through objects like a ghost. This is how he gets back on the plane, why nobody spots him and how he sneaks into Chris's hot tub. He appears so confident at the beginning of world tour because he found out he had powers. He's not very good at using them yet, but is testing them out as a stowaway around the plane.
- I'd guess his power is morphing into the feral state he spent most of World Tour in but unlike most of the others he has no control over it. I noticed that he seemed to be much stronger and nimbler after losing his mind
- Zombie!Zeke is his Superpowered Evil Side.
- Lindsay - Guess.
- She can shut down parts of her brain at will, for hibernation or something. It explains a lot of her stupidity. Come on, nobody's that dumb.
- Or possession. By shutting down her brain, she take control of peoples bodies and make them do or say things they wouldn't normally. This explains all the character derailment in Action, it's all a result of her shipping different characters with each other. So Lindsay is really the ultimate manipulative bastard, which is why Heather tries to keep her close and in check.
- But in Action she tried to do too much and ended up leaving her intelligence so low she accidentally voted herself off.
- This might also explain All-Stars, to some extent. She decided to possess just about everyone on the island in order to play out a crappy fanfic she wrote. Like the above example, she ended up losing enough intelligence to vote herself off, but then she hid on the island somewhere to continue this practice because she didn't want to give up on her little game yet. In other words, Lindsay, not Mal, was the true big bad of All-Stars all along.
- Beth - The ability to detect enemies (or something like that). Every villain in the show (Heather, Justin and Courtney) allied with her. This could show that Lindsay and Ezekiel might be future villains.
- Okay, this sounds like an awesome idea for a fan fiction.
- This explains how she ended up with the evil tiki rock. Villain magnet at work.
- Actually, I'm thinking firebending with those flaming batons. She causes quite a bit of damage for just randomly waving around.
- She might be able to create illusions, like she created the illusion of Brady (he's imaginary) to show up Leshawna and Heather
- Alejandro - Copy. Seriously, all he is is an angsty Justin.
- Makes sense. He can take on the appearance and abilities of others. It just so happens Justin's are the most useful. Also briefly borrows Noah's teleportation when he gets Bridgette to kiss a pole.
- Also manages to borrow Tyler's extreme flexibility, right after the episode where Tyler's flexibility was revealed.
- Unfortunately, he also managed to take Tyler's buttmonkey-ness and the usually surefooted Alejandro rams himself into a hurdle.
- Possibly, he can also give people powers and so swapped DJ's animal familiarity with Bridgette's impossibly bad luck.
- Sierra - Chi manipulation. She can touch certain part of your body to paralyze, heal or generally effect the body (poor Cody is her guinea pig when testing this)
- Also super speed. When motivated, she paddled a swan boat for six all by herself to the finish line in record time. When frightened by a lion she blazes a trail about a mile away.
- Harold - energy conversion. He can take any matter and use it to make a force of kinetic energy. He propels himself over a telephone pole with beans for gods sake. Kid's got some mad skills.
- Geoff - Creativity. Not that he's got much of it, but when he becomes a sadistic show host, he somehow conjures anvils and piranha tanks out of seemingly nowhere.
- Eva - The real she-hulk. Powers are temperamentally activated, so she uses music to keep it under control. When Heather steals the i-pod, she's not just pressing the Berserk Button, she's unwittingly unleashing a holy terror.
- Tyler - made of steel. He just "thinks" its only in his fingers, but notice how he rarely has lasting effects from his amusing injuries.
- Or rubber man. He's very flexible.
- Leshawna - super strength. Out log rolls a bear and switches the pipes in Heather's shower like it was nada. She must of been pretty tough to twist one pipeline over to another.
- Chris - Illusionist. Much of the island, set and plane is a fabrication of his mind to test the campers.
- Blaineley - Dragon Lady. Have you seen her toes? Also the part where she belches and farts simultaneously looks like she's morphing into a monster. She could probably kill them all in her true form, but refuses to take it as it is the eldritch abomination and she is obsessed with vanity.
- Chef - Lego Geneticist. Successful creations like the mountain goat are unleashed on the campers for
our amusementtraining. Unsuccessful ones are for dinner. - Best! Theory! Ever!
- Seconded... anyone know the later seasons well enough to continue with the characters?
- Hmmm...Let me give the ROTI characters a crack:
- Anne Maria: Hardhat hair. She only thinks it's the hairspray.
- Brick: Military experiment; he's designed to be the perfect soldier, explaining his strength and ability to cooperate with others.
- Cameron: Supergenius; unfortunately, he becomes weaker when he uses his brain, explaining why he was kept in a bubble for most of his life.
- Jo: Super strength, obviously.
- Mike: He's the Total Drama version of David Haller. Each of his personalities give him different powers (except Chester, who's just useless):
- Svetlana: Flexibility and a minor strength boost.
- Vito: A larger strength boost.
- Manitoba Smith: The ability to track anything down.
- Mal: He can access the abilities of the others, and possesses some form of mind control that significantly dumbs people down. Combined with Lindsay above, is it any wonder everyone was acting the way they did in All-Stars?
- Zoey: Artificial human of some sort-she's meant to be a being of ultimate power. Due to being cooped up in a lab for most of her life, Revenge of the Island was her first contact with the outside world, which explains so much. Commando Zoey was just a taste of her true power.
- B: He's the Total Drama version of Black Bolt; he can't speak unless he wants to unleash devastating sonic power. He only speaks if it's an emergency — which he tried to do before his elimination to warn everyone about Scott.
- Dakota: Dakotazoid is her true form, but she can turn into a pretty blonde to hide it. She loses this ability when she's exposed to toxic waste.
- Dawn: Isn't it obvious?
- Lightning: He can switch between genius intellect and super strength via jolts of electricity. He prefers super strength.
- Sam:...I honestly have no idea. Anyone got one?
- Sam's power is that he is able to gain knowledge and skills through video games. He can teach himself combat techniques when playing fighting games and agility when playing platformers. However, when Sam is deprived of video games and therefore being unable to learn, his mind projects a video game world as a backup superpower so he still has games to stimulate his knowledge.
- Scott: Some sort of low-level control-based power, which makes people quick to believe and/or trust him, unless they or a loved one was on the receiving end of his backstabbing. He lost this ability after being mauled by Fang.
- Staci: Immunity to changes in the timestream. Her relatives actually were all the things she claimed, but as a result she became a highly prideful villainess, so someone made changes to the timeline to knock her down a peg. Her supposed lying was really her trying to restore the timeline.
- And now, I'll try the Pahkitew Island contestants:
- Amy/Samey: Think the Stepford Cuckoos without the Hive Mind; both twins possess some level of telepathic power. Amy's powers, however, are stronger than Samey's due to the fact that she discovered them earlier. It could partially explain why she was able to make her team think Samey was the mean one despite being so openly bitchy.
- Jasmine: Super-Strength (obviously), as well as heightened mental shields, which explains why she was the only one unaffected by Amy's telepathy, as mentioned above.
- Max: He's a literal pain magnet. Which might explain what drove him to "villainy" in the first place.
- Rodney: Super-Strength.
- Scarlett: Super genius (obviously), especially when it comes to machines.
- Topher: Personality leech. He can only do this to one person at a time, and he does it to Chris for most of the season.
- Beardo: Basically Gerald McBoing-Boing if Gerald could also talk like a normal person.
- Dave: He's similar to Two-Face if you think about it. Dave is a normal guy, but overtime, he lost his sanity and became bald. Aside from carrying a weapon, he has no powers as he is normal.
- Ella: Mind-Control Music that only works on animals.
- Leonard: One of his parents is a powerful magic-wielding superhero, and he's expected to inherit that power sometime in the future. However, he hasn't yet, so said parent, not wanting him to be disappointed in himself, cast a spell that made him think that he had inherited their magic. Unfortunately, this ended up backfiring horribly.
- Shawn: Super-Speed and mild Super-Strength, making him a Lightning Bruiser.
- Sky: Basically any power one might come to associate with an Olympic athlete (strength, speed, flexibility, etc.).
- Sugar: Same power set as Owen.
Including Sierra and Alejandro, as he'll declare that both of them will have worn out their gimmicks: Sierra's Stalker with a Crush hinges on Cody's presence, while Alejandro will doubtlessly be unmasked as a Manipulative Bastard by the climax of World Tour, placing him in the same boat as Heather, as he'll have lost that critical element of deception.
This, of course, will lead to a mad, jealous scramble by the cast to 'deal with' their replacements, as in the Celebrity Manhunt Special. This may or may not end with a few of them earning the right to compete alongside the newbies in Reloaded; either way, this will all be playing right into Chris' hands.
- This... this WMG is actually really well thought out, it might actually happen, since Chris proved that he's pretty good at The Plan in the TDA special.
The first time Izzy is "eliminated" in Island, she was chased off by the RCMP choppers, but we never see them again, despite the fact that they would know she was back on the Island as soon as she made her return. Why did they never try to capture her again, despite this knowledge? Because she had already struck a deal with the RCMP, paying off what she owed them, using the money earned by selling the juicy information. Slipping back into the show thanks to never being 'officially' eliminated gave her additional chances to spy on everyone. Seeing as she made it fairly far in both seasons, it's not hard to imagine she fed them a lot of juicy information, thus providing enough money to pay off what she owed by the special.
As for why she 'accidentally' outed herself in the end? Eva had somehow found out the secret, and was about to tell everyone, as we know, before she got booted off. Still, if one of them found out, it would only be a matter of time before they all would. Izzy probably also felt guilty about selling her friend's secrets like that, so that's why she revealed herself on the special, when she was supposed to be going to the awards ceremony.
- ...You, my friend, are brilliant.
- Except it's not it. All Eva was about to reveal was that her and Izzy had been at the Playa des Losers.
- Also, why didn't Eva tell the other losers at the Playa des Losers?
- Who says she didn't? By the time we saw them, they could have already received the explanation and confronted Izzy about it.
- Umm... what? I didn't understand that at all. And what season are we talking about?
- I think what they mean is that Duncan was picking on Harold as a substitute for the immature practice of teasing the kid you like (instead of picking on Courtney, he picked on Harold in front of Courtney). I'm pretty sure they're talking about Island, since "Episode 12" was the episode in which Harold cheated Courtney off the island because it was the last straw, in Action Courtney wasn't even playing in those episodes, and that is also true for Duncan in World Tour.
- This WMG sounds pretty good. In Harold's words: "You have surprised, and intrigued me, sir."
- Alejandro - 6'0"
- Anne Maria - 5'3"
- B - 6'0"
- Beth - 4'11"
- Blaineley - 5'10"
- Brick - 6'0"
- Bridgette - 5'7"
- Cameron - 4'8"
- Chef Hatchet - 6'6"
- Chris McLean - 5'6.5"
- Cody - 5'1"
- Courtney - 5'8"
- Dakota - 5'11"
- Dawn - 5'0"
- DJ - 6'5"
- Duncan - 5'8"
- Eva - 5'5"
- Ezekiel - 5'3"
- Geoff - 6'3"
- Gwen - 5'7"
- Harold - 6'0"
- Heather - 5'9"
- Izzy - 5'6"
- Jo - 5'8"
- Justin - 5'9"
- Katie - 5'8"
- LeShawna - 5'4" or 5'5"
- Lightning - 6'0"
- Lindsay - 5'8"
- Mike - 6'1"
- Noah - 5'5"
- Owen - 6'1"
- Sadie - 5'2"
- Sam - 5'8.5"
- Scott - 5'9"
- Sierra - 6'2"
- Staci - 5'4"
- Trent - 5'10"
- Tyler - 5'11"
- Zoey - 5'7"
- Dawn: Dawn is in full control of her shine. She can read people's auras and other psychological things like that.
- DJ: Supported by the above WMG, Chef took DJ on as his apprentice to hone his shine, but gave up because DJ is an idiot.
- B: He's a genius, and doesn't NEED to talk even if he gets interrupted. He communicated well with people through his actions and can usually see what's coming. I'd say he's almost at Dawn's level of shining.
- Mike: Inevitably, Mike's multiple personalities can be seen as a parallel to Danny in The Shining manifesting Tony as his shining. When Mike gets rid of his other personalities, specifically Mal, he has become in full control of his shining.
- Izzy: Do I even need to explain this one? She's a jack-of-all-trades Reality Warper.
- Katie and Sadie: They have a very very low awareness of their shine; namely they can only just use it on each other.
And furthermore, after Total Drama ended, Chris used said cloning technology to create child versions of the contestants that he placed in a simulated environment with Chef to look over them, resulting in a certain spinoff series...
Chris knows his contestants better than they know themselves, especially Courtney because she's... well, Courtney. He never would have put Courtney in the Heroic Hamsters if it wasn't the set up to a sick joke. Putting Duncan and Courtney on the heroes and villains team respectively would be more satisfying if they'd recently behaved in a way to justify it, plus if Chris really cared about the teams being accurate he wouldn't have let Mal stay on the heroes team or Gwen and Cameron stay on the villains team. Also why would he not want Gwen and Courtney to be on the same team?
- He has been eliminated in the recent episode of TDA, jossing the theory.
- The elimination in question was caused by Courtney, who could very well be the avatar of someone he hates, making that a Creator Breakdown. And remember, this guess is because of us actually seeing Owen's dreams, and not because "LOL he won the first season".
- Hmmm, you may be on to something here. Maybe the contestants are actually people he knows from school, and Izzy is just a girl he has a crush on, fantasizing her in a bikini.
- Beside "there's no In-Universe evidence to suggest that this fictional universe is a dream based on how unrealistic a story is", I also have a few other ideas that go against this theory:
2) Owen getting eliminated by Courtney does not make the entire series a dream.
- Jossed in a recent episode of a "spin off" series "created" by Geoff and Bridgette, wherein Trent reveals it's due to something about his grandpa and trains or something. Sorry...
- Trent was lying about that, duh.
- My guess? Tyler's parents took him to a petting zoo when he was younger, and while he was interacting with the chickens, something happened that caused him to develop this phobia. Most likely, a chicken (or several) attacked him. Given his reaction to being in the presence of one, either screaming and/or assuming a Troubled Fetal Position, it must've been a very traumatizing experience for him.
- They should've hypnotized Duncan to show more affection to Gwen, that would have caused much more drama
- Face it, Gwenx Trent ship has the same fate of the glorious Yamato, but not that glorious ending
- They should've hypnotized Duncan to show more affection to Gwen, that would have caused much more drama
- Jossed, they make up at the end of the Aftermath.
The best bet being Cody.
- Somewhat confirmed. Happens to Harold in 2008: A Space Owen, when she interprets his comments as flirting and breaks up with Brady for him, much to Harold's horror. Seems to only be a one episode thing though.
- Confirmed when diving for treasure.
- I can see it. There is definitely a sense that Blaineley is the 'Anti' Bridgette so actually being related works well. Bridgette's bio implies (but doesn't state outright) that she is an only child. Maybe Bridgette's mother had Blaineley young and gave her up for adoption? We don't know Blaineley's age but I can see her being in her mid to late twenties, putting her about 8-10 years older than Bridgette.
- Considering Blaineley's personality and semi-celeb status, it would not be far fetched for her to have had some form of cosmetic surgery, meaning she could be older than she looks. I put her at aunt or cousin.
She probably did feel gratitude for Heather for not being mad at her with the reward incident in Action, but was it really enough to win her over after all the crap she pulled in Island? Even though Heather wasn't as bad in Action as she was in Island, she was still a snarky jerk. So why did Leshawna claim that the two of them were now friends? She did it as a Batman Gambit to merely keep close to Heather and make sure she wouldn't manipulate/hurt her friends again (Gwen, Harold, et al.)
Remember what she told Gwen when she convinced her to put Heather on her team: "Keep your friends close, and your enemies closer." She had this in mind when she got close to Heather as well. Despite professing friendship, she most likely believed that given the proper means, and as soon as her hair grew back, Heather would return to her eviler self.
Fast forward to World Tour. Leshawna probably found out about the internet war between Heather and Gwen, which would be cause for alarm. Heather's attempts at trying to turn Sierra into an ally would also not go unnoticed. Then Alejandro swoops in, and the rest, as we know, culminates in Leshawna's elimination and Heather losing a tooth. And yet, we hear in the next Aftermath that she is proud of beating Heather to a pulp on the loosest of pretenses. Therefore, it's entirely possible that Leshawna's pride was not rooted in beating up her friend after being manipulated into doing so, but that now that she had beaten up Heather, she no longer has to pretend to be her friend just to keep an eye on her. She was proud that she would no longer be living a lie anymore.
Chris meant it when he said, "If you take anything off the island, YOU'LL BE CURSED FOREVER!!!" When the Screaming Gophers had the tiki doll, the team as a whole was cursed, but the curse went away when they got rid of Beth.
It also possibly explains why she didn't win TDA or the TDWT Aftermath Second Chance Challenge.
Captain Hammer is a womanizing celebrity from the start—Trent turns into one at the end of the Celebrity Manhunt special. Both have a rather sleek athletic build and are shown to be quite charming, as well them being seen as heroic figures—though in Hammer's case, all of this is just because of the public blindly worshipping him. Lastly, Hammer has a Heroic BSoD over getting hurt at the end of the web series, while Trent has a huge Heroic BSoD over...breaking up with one girl. It could be his first glimpse of pain and why he doesn't experience any guilt when he lies or cheats later on as Hammer. And, for Arson, Murder, and Jaywalking's sake, Captain Hammer has No Name Given—he could be anybody.
As for her backstory, she hails from the Salish Sea and grew up observing humans surf. Eventually, she used her mermaid powers to grant herself legs (and as a mermaid she can revert to her tail whenever she wishes to) so she could learn to surf as well, and also explore the human world (her semi-canonical online bio describes her as being a world traveler open to new opportunities, which makes sense for someone who wants to explore the world). She befriended some of the locals (perhaps some of the characters from Stōked?) and later auditioned for Total Drama, where she met Geoff. And in case you're wondering, Geoff knows she is actually a mermaid, but he only learned after World Tour. Geoff was actually lying when he said Bridgette was in Australia in Ridonculous Race (hence why she never cameos there); in reality, Bridgette was returning to her undersea home for a mermaid family reunion (she hadn't seen her family in a while due to being on land for so long).
Also, I really can't see another reason on why in The Aftermath show, the stated that he hasn't hurt even a fly during his time home.He never got stressed on that, because he was in his home. In his safe zone.
Half-joking here, but listen.
She acts extra stupid in this season, annoys her teammates, and was a major factor in losing her team the challenge. However, during the elimination ceremony, she acts relatively normal, votes for herself, and when it's announced she's eliminated, she literally yells "Thank goodness!" Plus, there's her confessional during the challenge where she says that continuing to compete wasn't worth it. I think Lindsay going to "i dont know my lefts and rights"-levels of dumb in this season wasn't flanderization but rather her intentionally getting herself voted off, either because she didn't want to participate in any more seasons or because she could sense how bad All Stars would be.
- Ann Maria the "Jersey Shore Reject"
- B the "Strong Silent Genius": Cle Bennett (DJ and Chef)
- Brick the "Cadet"
- Cameron the "Wide-eyed Bubble-boy"
- Dakota The "Famemonger"
- Dawn The "Moonchild": Emily Hampshire (Starr from 6teen) or Anastasia Phillips (Lo from Stōked)
- Jo The "Take-no-prisoners Jock-ette"
- Lightning The "Athletic Overachiever": Jesse Gibbons (Wyatt from 6teen) or Arnold Pinnock (Johnny from Stōked)
- Mike The "Multiple Personality Disorder": Cory Doran (Jimmy Two-Shoes)
- Sam The "Nice-guy Gamer": Brian Froud (Harold)
- Scott The "Devious"
- Staci The "Compulsive Liar"
- Zoey The "Indie Chick"
- He was near barrels of toxic waste when he was struck by lightning. The two most common ways to obtain superpowers, and inexplicably he will have lightning powers.
- Dawn, I'm pretty sure, is pretty popular, so she'll have an early elimination. Then, they'll bring her back the next season even better than before, pleasing the fans and raking in the ratings for the next season. It worked very well with Noah and Cody, so why can't they try it again?
- She's still here as of episode 4, but the Noah Syndrome sounds like a great idea for a trope.
- She was voted out in episode five, and it wasn't even her fault. So the theory is sound.
- Think about it for a second here.
- Anne Maria: Snooki; for obvious reasons
- Zoey: Bella Swan; lonely, friendly, attractive girl dating an awkwardly handsome outsider
- Mike: Jacob Black; awkwardly attractive outsider
- Jo: Sue Sylvester; for obvious reasons
- Scott: Russel Hantz; his entire strategy and the fact that he keeps eliminating threats and not the weakest members on his team
- Sam: Seth Rogen; the voice and the appearance (see the poster for Knocked Up and Sam's current design)
- Dakota: Paris Hilton; even Dakota's last name is a reference
- B: Silent Bob; see his page on the Total Drama Wiki for more information
- Cameron: Michael Cera; okay, look at his original design and compare the characters, both are obviously "woobies" with charming personalities
- I think this can mean two things: the writers are changing the focus from the characters to the reality show itself, the fact that they're on a radioactive island can hand-wave this, they just want to throw eye-laser squirrels to see how the contestants cope with them, or they're focusing on the parody part of the show, so they used more expies this time.
- Later in the season, he focuses his attention on Zoey because she is a "daywalker", a redhead without freckles and pale skin.
- Ever thought his last name may be Tenorman? Yeah. Mind = blown.
- My take on it was he appeared to be either mute or have selective mutism. I didn't see the audition tapes so I'm not sure if that contradicts this, but people who suffer from selective mutism are unable to make themselves talk outside of specific circumstances, usually only being able to talk when the only people around are family members they've known all their lives
- Actually I think it's the other way round. She was originally supposed to be an Indie Chick, as shown by her prototype design◊ she was originally supposed to be a retro-hipster girl, but then they decided to make Dakota look like Paris Hilton and used Zoey as a garbage tip for her old design.
- The theory could still hold weight, as it's been confirmed by Todd Kauffman that her prototype version was actually Molly, and what was Zoey was scrapped and replaced with Dawn. It can be assumed that they wanted to use some elements of Zoey (Reloaded), so the decided to rename her, change her label, and recycle Dakota's design with a few tweaks.
- Same frame, same skin tone, nearly identical face and hair, all she needs is a corset, teal highlights, and combat boots and they could be identical.
- By the sound of Sky's voice and her personality, I think this is pretty much Jossed.
- She comes off as more of an Asian Zoey to me.
- She's pretty obviously implied to be Native American, though.
- Substitute Scarlett with Rodney, as Rodney's gonna fall in love with a new girl every episode, he's bound to go for Sky as well.
- Maybe Skye will flirt back at Rodney to make Dave jealous and pay attention to her (but he's too busy pining for Scarlett)
- Maybe Scarlett's an unintentional boyfriend stealer and is gonna be the new Gwen, and yeah Sky hitting on Rodney to make Dave jealous makes perfect sense. Maybe Sky will be the new Courtney.
- Maybe Skye will flirt back at Rodney to make Dave jealous and pay attention to her (but he's too busy pining for Scarlett)
- And when Scarlett rejects Dave, Skye will "Cushion his fall".
- I can see that happening.
- According to some sources, Skye's sense of right and wrong is very black and white, while Scarlett is the Big Bad, meaning the two could be this seasons' Gwen and Heather, which could mean that Scarlett could flirt with Dave just to see Skye suffer
- Dave might not know that Scarlett turned evil, maybe she'll exploit his emotional weakness.
- Anyway, the previous theory was Jossed. We got a Dave-Sky-Ella love triangle.
- Leonard and Ella, quite possible. But Sugar? ... no. Just no.
- In the leaked first ep, it was greatly implied that Sugar had a thing for Leonard
- Sure, but Sugar is hideous. She's the cartoon reincarnation of Honey Boo Boo. I doubt Leonard will return her feelings.
- Stranger and more dramatic things have happened
- But that doesn't mean it should happen, from what I can see she's already Pahkitew's most hated character.
- Isn't that Max?
- They're tied, each of them are for their respective genders. But yes, Max slightly more, since he seems to be the result of an accident his mother had with Denzel Crocker.
- Actually, seeing the new trailer I can now see that happening, since she seems to be a Suspiciously Similar Substitute for Anne-Maria, they could very well do the Mike-Zoey-Anne Maria triangle again.
- I can't believe it but it seems like you were partly right, as Sugar and Leonard did have some Ship Tease.
- In the leaked first ep, it was greatly implied that Sugar had a thing for Leonard
- That's practically already been confirmed.
- Jossed, he's just a Fool for Love with no one returning his affection.
- Jossed. If anything, Scarlett is the one who needs reforming herself.
- Yeah that was revealed ages ago, I already put that info on the main-page and in the "Scarlett's Schtick" post above.
- You mean it was revealed ages ago that Scarlett is evil or that she's Scott's sister?
- Oh right sorry, I meant Scarlett's leak. I'm not sure what to make of the Scott thing, I feel it might be taking a long shot since Scott said his sister was Albertha.
- Right. Writers being unoriginal, possibly?
- You mean it was revealed ages ago that Scarlett is evil or that she's Scott's sister?
Or, alternatively...
- Rodney would make a lot more sense, maybe he's Scott's cousin or something.
So this is my take on it: on the Nightmare Fuel Page a troper pointed out that In real life, Dissociative Identity Disorder occurs whenever someone experiences intense stress in their life, and a person's main identity will retreat into the subconscious to escape the stress, and a new persona (usu. related to the situation) will emerge to take their place. Over time the person may be accessed so often that it becomes mentally strengthened and becomes a separate individual on it's own.
Now in Mike's Online Bio Manitoba specifically mentions he has a wife. The similarities between those two cannot be ignored, so the connections I've made is on a particular trip to Australia, Mike must've encountered Jasmine and some kind of incident occurred with her. Whatever the incident was, it caused Mike's mind to model this personality after Jasmine, and went and inherited all of her aspects from her, including the possible delusion that Jasmine was his wife. Jasmine may or may not have known about this, or maybe she humored him, but Manitoba firmly believes Jasmine to be his lover.
What do you think?
- Oh God, not this one again. *sighs* The way I see it's unlikely Blaineley is capable of being a mother. She's attracted to Justin and Alejandro (indicating she's single). Plus she looks like the kind of snobbish celebrity who hates kids in general and doesn't want to have children.
- She could have put the two up for adoption right?
- That would be great if it happened. Might make Skave slightly interesting.
- That is very likely since Sugar seems to worship Max, also I don't think a spoiler tag is required for that.
- He DID land on his head when he fell from the zeppelin. What we end up seeing is Flanderized versions of the other contestants.
- Uhh, ... a lot of fans would be really disappointed if that was the case.
- Why don't we add Amy while we're at it? She still want revenge on Sammy after all, and Amy and Scarlett did hug each other.
- Much like Courtney did in Action
- More likely that Dave will.
- Uh, I think that's already been mentioned. Check the "Dave will move on from Sky, but Sky will not" WMG above.
Though it doesn't really justify how she didn't notice the robot's speech pattern to be off, it's still some leeway to explain how she, the Evil Genius, failed to notice the painfully obvious.
- Before competing they were both big fans of their show.
- They both love to break out into song.
- Their singing annoys almost everybody else.
- They both suffered a Non-Gameplay Elimination (Ella being disqualified by Chris and Wanda not being chosen to be on either tribe).
- They stayed positive even though they were elimated
- They both left the show on while singing.
- Alternatively, she will get a chance/the will to move far away/go into hiding and changer name/looks to go and have a happy life on her own. Obviously she lives in a toxic environment.
That leaves Zee and Chase. Zee's design has a weird/comic relief vibe to him. Chase has a vaguely sporty vibe to him. Total Drama is a show that starts with archetypes and builds characters up from that so it makes sense to have the character with a prosthetic be an Inspirationally Disadvantaged athlete.
- Chase appears to be wearing sweat pants too so he could be wearing shorts underneath if the animators are planning on doing a post reveal outfit change.
- Jossed: Zee is revealed to have a prosthetic leg in the second episode of the season.
- Jossed: Zee is revealed to have a prosthetic leg in the second episode of the season.
- Jossed: She's introduced by the name Lauren but because of her antics everyone, including Chris, starts calling her Scary Girl instead.
- Jossed: Caleb is booted out first in a similar manor to Justin in season one. Ripper is however used for most of the fart jokes during the season.
- That would be a good contrast to the previous antagonists who have all been Lean and Mean except Alejandro and Dave.
- Jossed: While Ripper acts rude towards some of the other competitors he's not the main antagonist.
Axel:
- The Army Brat
- The Cadette
- The Survivalist
- All jossed. She's "The Hard Core".
Bowie:
- He was revealed to be "The Loveable Party Boy".
Caleb:
- The Hunk with a Brain
- something to do with brains, brawn, and beauty
- All jossed. He's "The Smoking Hot Player".
Chase:
- The Track Star
- The Generic Guy
- The Prankster
- All jossed. He's "The Other YouTube Sensation".
Damien:
- He was revealed to be "The Reactionary".
Emma:
- The Perfectionist
- The Teacher's Pet
- All jossed. She's "The Breakout YouTube Star".
Julia:
- The Influencer
- Confirmed, although her label is officially "The Influencer and Evil in Human Form".
Millie:
- The Peacekeeper/Mediator
- The Team Mom
- All jossed. She's "The Book-Smart One".
MK:
- The Schemer (if they want to reuse one)
- Jossed. She's "The Outrageous and Underestimated".
Nichelle:
- The Influencer
- The Fitness Guru
- The Actress
- All jossed. She's "The Gorgeous With a Side of Substance".
Priya:
- The Shy Girl
- The Total Drama trainee
- All jossed. She's "The Novice of Everything".
Raj:
- The Hockey Captain's Alternate
- Jossed. He's "The Hockey Bros", which he shares with Wayne.
Ripper:
- The Gross One
- The Alpha Male
- All jossed. He's "The Bad Boy".
Scary Girl:
- ....The Scary Girl
- Confirmed in a way. Her label is given as "AKA Lauren", implying that Scary Girl may indeed be her label.
Wayne:
- The Hockey Captain
- Jossed. He's "The Hockey Bros", which he shares with Wayne.
Zee:
- The Slacker
- Jossed. He's "The Good Vibes Only Guy"
- Bowie and Caleb: Bowie looks like a stereotypical camp guy, so it's highly likely he'll be one of the two gay characters. One of the promotional pictures shows some of the female campers and Bowie fawning over Caleb, so it's possible he'll be the other half of the couple (although I see him more as bisexual).
- Jossed: Despite Bowie showing physical attraction towards Caleb in the first episode Caleb is eliminated first and his sexuality is never revealed. Bowie does however announce that he's the first openly gay contestant and is one half of the season's LGBT+ couple.
- Zee and Chase: They are seen together often in the trailers and they hug each other in fear at one point.
- Jossed.
- Raj and Wayne: Although wearing matching shirts doesn't necessarily imply they're in love with each other, they are always seen together in the promotional images and trailers so it seems that they already know each other before arriving on the island. That they are also on the same team is because they did not want to separate from each other or that Chris did not want to separate the couple.
- Jossed: Wayne is shown to be straight (as shown by him saying that the girls of his team are "real hotties") and is highly supportive of Raj when he comes out. Raj makes up one half of the season's LGBT+ couple.
- Nichelle and Julia: Julia seems interested in getting closer to Nichelle. It's pretty clear they're going to have some kind of relationship, whether they'll be lovers, friends, rivals, or one of them (likely Nichelle) will only deceive the other.
- Jossed.
- As of airing the official LGBT+ couple is Bowie and Raj.
- Jossed: Neither of them know each other before the show.
- Jossed: Zee isn't shown to be a spokesman at any point, liking soda is just a part of his character.
- However, he does become a soda mascot during the break between seasons.
- Out of the new cast only two are considered famous prior to arriving on the island: Nichelle who is an action movie star, and Julia who is a social media influencer. On a smaller scale Chase is part of a livestream of pranks and stunts, and Emma used to be part of said livestream before breaking up with Chase.
- Currently Jossed. In the finale Chris states all the new contestants will be returning for the next season so it's possible they may come into contact with some of the previous contestants before then.
- Jossed for Scary Girl due to her being eliminated even earlier than the first season. Partially confirmed with Nichelle who makes it further but doesn't merge. Confirmed for Axel, Caleb, Damien, and MK who all make the merge in season 2 with Caleb being one of the finalists and the latter three making the top half placements of the season.
- Nichelle
- MK
- Axel
- Caleb
- Ripper
- Scary Girl
- Jossed for all of them, Julia is the Big Bad of season 2 again.
So ideally, next season Emma could really improve and be empowering by truly cutting herself free and it could be a solid arc for her character to get better. Chase would need to do a lot more work and the show does not really show if he can pull it off.
- Confirmed in season 2 with Emma dumping Chase for good between seasons after finding out he only threw the challenge for pizza. However, both of them end up being early boots so jossed on Emma gaining much of story after dumping Chase.
- Lack of Empathy: He does not understand why Emma would be mad at him for damaging her car and having her get run into an animal shelter.
- Narcissism: He makes arrogant remarks about himself and is unapologetic over what he had done because the views on their livestream should be more than enough to justify it.
- Not being sensitive to or respectful of others.
- Feeling no guilt about harming others.
- Doing dangerous things with no regard for the safety of self or others.
- Part of the theory has been Jossed. Terry mentioned that Chase is rich, but only because he makes a lot of money from his YouTube channel, money he always foolishly spends anyway. He also stated that he and his friends rented the beach house. However, it's still possible that his parents were too lenient on him and spoiled him.
- Jossed. Even though they were on the same team in season 2 they didn't have any meaningful interactions together.
It could be possible if the two interacting together in the next season.
- Jossed with Emma disliking Millie after she throws Damien down the dangerous four point pipe in a challenge and both of them being eliminated early back to back.
- Jossed. Axel instead gets Ship Tease with Ripper.
- Priya and Damien: Since it's implied that the new season is going to give more focus to the early boots and Damien doesn't seem to have a plot set up yet, so giving him the main romance plot could make sense.
- Jossed with Priya getting Ship Tease with Caleb instead of Damien.
- Julia and MK: Their interactions in the first episode seemed fair too friendly to be simply alliance mates and were similar to Alejandro and Heather's behavior towards each other, so the show making their interactions go beyond simply forming a friendship would make sense.
- Not outright official at the end of the second season.
- Axel and Nichelle: Axel could be impressed by Nichelle's new found athletic talent and it leads to them getting closer.
- Jossed with Axel ending up with Ripper instead of Nichelle.
- After being booted off first, she threatened a vendetta against all of her teammates when they all come back, implying she'll be even more of a threat than ever when she returns.
- Not only did Wawanakwa sink in All-Stars, but Pakhitew, as a robotic island, can change its environment in the way Chris wants to, including its flora and fauna. This explains why, despite the sinking, the island looks intact - it is just a robot replacing of the existing environments in Wawanakwa. This would also explain the surrealism involving the raptors from "Jurassic Fart" and the giant clownsnake from "Off the Hook": they're animatronics. That would be also why they introduce so many new challenge installments in a short time span - these buildings are programmed in Pakhitew's software.
- But who with who?
- And that's the tricky question: There are very obvious friendships to make team, like Katie and Sadie, and of course, we got the canon pairings, but only until we know how the relationships end up in TDA I would dare to make some predictions.
- Simple,[[One couple broke up and another seems like it will break up.]]
- pairing the teams up by romance/friendship is boring, make enemies teams! like Harold/Duncan and Gwen/Heather
- this is pretty much jossed because of world tour
- Confirmed with the announcement of Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race.
- Won't that make TDI a Mind Screw series?
- but there's one problem, no real use for any other male contestants (except for possibly Noah) or female contestants who already have boyfriends.
- True, but if I have to go through another Owen or Duncan centric season, I may scream.
- but there's one problem, no real use for any other male contestants (except for possibly Noah) or female contestants who already have boyfriends.
- Trent rapidly becoming a Gwen obsessor/stalker is because the writer hates him and likes Gwen; said writer also ships Duncan/Gwen.
- Gwen also becomes one of the team captions.
- Gwen's own vote off (caused by her messing up the challenge for the team because she felt guilty that Trent helped her out on an earlier challenge, even though they where on different teams) in the second season was because the writer has nothing left to do with her and wanted to give her the vote off equivalent of a Heroic Sacrifice...
- ...And after that, it started to focus on Duncan/Courtney...
- Owen's vote off was not supposed to be looked at as a bad moment for Courtney; it's supposed to be the other way around, as Courtney was, in the writer's head, the only voice of reason in the fic.
- Maybe the way Courtney treated Duncan in action is the author's way of saying "don't you think Duncan deserves better?, like Gwen?"
- The ending to TDDDDI people, the ending to TDDDDI.
- The second season is based off of movies. Looks like the sort of TDI fan fic someone would write.
- Total Drama World Tour, a trip around the world... also sounds like a TDI fan fic.
- It sure as hell explains why Heather is getting so much crap.
- World Tour's lack of Trent, return of Noah, and Sierra makes it look like a very Cody-centric Fan Fic
- Sierra does look a lot like a character from a Self-Insert Fic (or she could be a Take That! against that and the Total drama fanbase in general)
- I want it to either be a romance or zombie movie, if it is a genre theme. Now that's a waste, especially since the final two, final four, final six, final eight... actually, there's a pretty strict boy-girl pattern they could've used for most of the season.
- Romance/Zombie movie on the Moon?
- It will parody Big Brother
- It will parody Kid Nation
- Chris will get fired and will be replaced by a new host, who will be even more of a son of a Heather, but Chris won't go down without a fight, causing a 1 to 1 Enemy Civil War
- A new Female contestant who is a plant for the network, who's job is to seduce the male contestants and cause love triangles
- A new contestant that is stereotypically Quebecian
- A contestant will form a secret alliance with Chris (like DJ did with Chef)
- A new contestant that is an aboriginal Canadian (not likely to happen due to Political Overcorrectness)
- A new contestant that is an American
- A new contestant that is a Funny Foreigner
- DJ's mother will have a bigger part in it
This is similar to an above guess. Sierra is a Take That! at Cody Fan Girls (king of like inserting people you hate as Straw Losers). More info on this guess later, do not respond yet.
- Owen won season one but he had to give up his money to compete in season two, which he didn't win.
- Duncan won season two but somehow lost the money (Or the writers are going by the alternate ending where Beth wins, in that case Beth loses the money when she has to pay bail in Paris) before season three.
- Spoilers reveal that at the end of Season three Alejandro throws the money into a volcano, meaning that, once again, no one gets it.
So what I think is that none of the original 22-campers ever actually get to keep the money (except maybe Beth since she used a tiny portion of the money to fund her trip to Paris) and so every season everyone loses and Chris just makes money from the entire thing.
- Proof would be nice for Alejandro throwing the money into a volcano.
- An old Christian Potenza video (I think he took it down) had the camera briefly move over a script in his office for the TDWT finale, it was fast but freezing the image allowed fans to tell what was written there, which was Chris talking about what Alejandro had just done.
- what a sore loser
- "Brick"◊ could fill this role.
- Scott from the fourth season seems to be exactly that, as there is next to nothing likable about his character and he actually sabotages his team's challenges just to vote them off.
- Max from Pahkitew Island is more likely than less this
Almost confirmed, based on newly leaked info there will be a Zombie Themed Episode in the season.
- Okay so we got sort of confirmation, we got a kind of Zombie Apocalypse in "Hurl and Go Seek" and the cast members did turn into zombies. So, Yay!!! I guess.
- Maybe because the shape of the island looks like an explosion, but yes the Island exploding is quite likely, though I'm not sure it would occur in this season.
- Jossed, but it came pretty close to doing so in "Scarlett Fever".
And halfway through, Chris will input a new rule: contestants that get voted off will die. To circumvent lawsuits, he'll make the announcement (and any deaths) off-screen and make Ridiculously Human Robot copies of the dead contestants so nobody suspects anything. Because of this, nearly everyone will resort to desperate tactics to keep themselves or friends/boyfriends/girlfriends they care about from being killed. Naturally, this opens up a lot of opportunities for antagonists like Heather and Scott to exploit the game (e.g. threatening Gwen with, "if you don't make sure I win this challenge, I'll switch the votes and kill Duncan").
- Me again! It's Jossed. While there was the usual amount of crap Total Drama gets past the radar, there still wasn't enough to be considered "more than usual". Too bad...
- There's near certainty of that happening, especially since it nearly happened this time with three girls in the final four. It's just a matter of when.
- Ridonculous Race almost had two females competing against each other in the final two. In other words, after Geoff and Brody got eliminated, the remaining male contestants (Ryan, Devin, and Jacques) were partnered up with a girl. This almost increased the season's chance on having another female winner on "Total Drama" (after Heather in the US, and Sky in Canada).
- That's actually pretty interesting, though his plan doesn't make any sense (unless he uses the million to fund a campaign to cancel Total Drama/Bribe Chris' boss into canceling Total Drama) In the ep he gets eliminated, maybe he'll realize that he's no better than Chris and purposely votes himself off (out of shame for what he did)
- I was thinking they would act as the antagonist, in order to stay in the game as long as possible, and slowly undermine the show. Before perhaps using the money to garner enough power to shut the show down. Though it's unlikely they will be a finalist, and like you said will probably realize the wrong that they are doing.
On February 17, 2021, HBO Max announced that "Total Drama" is back for two new seasons.
At least one of them is expected to take place at Camp Wawanakwa, even though it was destroyed in season five (All-Stars). If this is the case, then the new season would contradict the events of "Revenge of the Island" (where Chris rented the island out for a toxic waste dump, which resulted in his arrest) and/or "All-Stars" (where the island sank to the bottom). Remember this, "Pahkitew Island" took place in a new island to replace the one that was destroyed in said previous season.
- Or it will be revealed that the island Camp Wawanakwa is on in the new season is "Pahkitew Island" configured to look like the old island.
- Semi-Jossed on the skinhead part. Ripper does fit the Politically Incorrect Villain part however.
Host of a popular reality show or not, there's no way someone with Chris's list of crimes would be let out after only a year of prison time. The producers may have tried, but couldn't get Chris out, and so decided to cancel the show. We know from the opening scene of season 5 that Chris had plans for an All Stars season (When Chef meets him, he's pretending two cockroaches and Duncan and Lightning). This would explain all of the flanderization, since that's just how Chris views the characters: little more than stereotypes. Any absurd or impossible events can be explained away as further Sanity Slippage on his part. As for the new cast in Pahkitew Island, Chris got bored with the current cast in his head and created new characters from rejected audition tapes and stereotypes that he had in his head. In reality, the cast of Seasons 1-4 are living normal, happy lives away from his clutches.
- That would explain why Total Drama (2023) still has the Camp Wawanakwa despite it sinking in the fifth season — it never actually sank. Chris just imagined it did.
- Jossed; the second season will feature the new contestants. Besides, given how there was a massive Time Skip in between Ridonculous Race and the new seasons, the aforementioned fan-favorites would be too old to compete anyways.
- It's been confirmed that Pahkitew Island was three years after Island (2007), so while this still possible, it's likely.
- Jossed, the third season finished, and there were no racist songs.
- I wouldn't exactly describe "A Chinese Lesson" as the pinnacle of cultural sensitivity. On top of that, one of the song titles includes a word that's considered a slur against Romani people.
- Heather will be responsible (or partially responsible) for the downfall of Alejandro (or at least they would have a Enemy Civil War).
Confirmed.
- Heather will try to truly be the other contestant's friend, but mostly Lindsay's.
- Partially confirmed, she does seen to gain Cody's friendship in the finale and the others cheer for her over Alejandro, but she and Lindsay don't have much interaction.
- Cody will reject Sierra's advances, she will be heartbroken, and in response he'll be voted off by his female teammates who'll feel sorry for her.
- Jossed. Cody made it to the final three, surpassing all female contenders, excluding Heather, and the only point where they may have banded together against him, but DID NOT, was in the Paris episode.
- One of the pairings will break up. - Confirmed. Duncan and Courtney break up after Duncan falls for Gwen.
- One episode will be a Take That! against shippers (probably when they go to Paris).
- A Leshawna/Harold/Heather Love Triangle (no I have not been taking mind altering drugs, why do you ask?) - Jossed due to Harold's early elimination. Jossed again because Leshawna just got eliminated.
- The Final two might be Noah and Heather.
- Or Cody and Sierra.
- Jossed. Although, Heather did make it to the final two, Noah did not. Cody and Sierra also didn't make the final two, each finishing 3rd and 4th, respectively.
- Or Cody and Sierra.
- Trent will try to get into the game forcefully and he'll have a Yandere level affection for Gwen - Jossed due to Trent getting over Gwen and seeing other people.
- An Unrequited Love Switcheroo between Cody and Gwen. Or at least, their friendship will grow.
- Ezekiel and Trent will return (much like Eva and Izzy did in island) - Half confirmed, half Jossed, Trent was never in World Tour, and it is widely speculated that Ezekiel will return.
- Fully Josses as Ezekiel doesn't return, though the possibility was mentioned but dismissed.
- In the episode where they go to Greece the contestants will have to do the challenge naked or in there underwear. Jossed
- The female contestants (or at least the majority of them) will ship Cody/Sierra.
- Unconfirmed. None of the females seem to show their feelings towards the Cody x Sierra pairing.
- Ezekiel will be a contestant, but he will make another foot-in-mouth comment and he'll be the first one booted off (just like in Island). Sort-of confirmed, as he gets voted off first by his team for doing something stupid - losing his stick.
- Trent will get a new girlfriend, which will make Gwen jealous.
- Jossed. While he did move on, he didn't get a new girlfriend.
- An Unrequited Love Switcheroo between Cody and Sierra, possibly in Paris.
- Jossed, though Cosy does grow to consider Sierra a friend.
- Courtney will become a Shipper on Deck for Cody/Gwen. Only because she sees Gwen as a threat to her relationship with Duncan.
- Jossed given the love triangle
- The Woolly Beavers and the Stymphalian Canada Geese will make another appearance (probably in the episode when they go to Costa Rica) - [[spoiler:Jossed
- More Cody/Noah undertones - Jossed. They've had no interaction all season and Noah has now been eliminated.
- No interaction all season? Someone clearly missed the Alps episode. Sausage, anyone?
- The first three contestants to be eliminated will be Ezekiel, Duncan and Harold. Confirmed.
- Cody will reject Sierra's advances and then she will have an obsessive crush on another male contestant: the best bet is Noah, but it could be Geoff (if he doesn't forgive Bridgette for being seduced by Alejandro), Ezekiel, Harold, or maybe (as an irony) Trent or in a cracktastic event Chris.
- Partially confirmed...but in the end, Cody and Sierra decide to be friends.
- Chris will try to Take Over the World (no I have not still been taking mind altering drugs). - Jossed
- They will go to Eva's home country in one episode. Jossed
- Sierra will get a Character Blog. - She comments on the TDWT Facebook occasionally, and seems to have an episode play-back blog.
- The final three might be Cody, Heather and Alejandro (with Cody and Heather being the final two).
- The hosts for the aftermath show will be Geoff and Katie and Sadie. Jossed. It's Geoff, Bridgette, and Blainely.
- Duncan, will be one of the first off...but he will pull a Courtney and return midseason. Confirmed, and in the same episode number as well.
- Ezekiel will be one of the first to go because he can't sing. Jossed, he was eliminated but for a failing a challenge reason. Also he was the best singer.
- Sierra will become Heather's Morality Pet. Probably not, as she's actually playing Heather.
- Heather will try to cause a feud between Sierra and Gwen. Jossed
- Blaineley will become a contestant. Confirmed. She unintentionally (and unwillingly) 'won' a place as a contestant during an Aftermath challenge.
- A Sierra/Cody/Gwen Love Triangle.
- Jossed. Gwen ended up in a triangle with Courtney and Duncan instead.
- It's probably better to say there was a big Love Dodecahedron: Sierra==>Cody==>Gwen==>Duncan/Courtney==>Alejandro==>Heather. And that's not even if you count the fake Courtney==>Tyler or all of Alejandro's other crushees.
- Jossed. Gwen ended up in a triangle with Courtney and Duncan instead.
- Heather and Alejandro will form an alliance, totally intending to double cross the other in the end with gambits, but will then Become The Mask with one another and appear to fall in love. In the end, Alejandro will be hoisted by his own petard by Heather, when he doesn't have the heart to follow through, and votes her off as planned (but she will anyway). Heather will go on in the final two - probably against Noah or Cody (I really hope Noah, considering the Noah gambit mentioned above, but the show so far is centering on Cody so he is more likely). She will lose to whichever and get back together with Alejandro in the end(who forgives her because he likes manipulative bastards, seeing as he is one). If this happens, including the Noah gambit from season 1, Teletoon will not only be forgiven but hailed as my new religion.
- Partially confirmed, as they struck up a deal near the end but it falls apart and they end up the final two.
- There will be a Pirate/Caribbean episode for whatever reason and Alejandro and Heather will star. Seriously, he's got and eyepatch and she's got a gold tooth. They are becoming pirates! - Jossed
- Wait, how does it explain why Cody in particular missed so many songs?
- Cody simply didn't worry about getting eliminated for not singing, and just didn't. Chris didn't call attention to this, and just left him in the game (because of Sierra, Gwen, his dislike of Duncan, etc.) I dunno, I just had a dumb little theory about why no one gets kicked off for not singing, despite there not being a lot of non-singers.
- Incorrect. If that were true, it would have been mentioned (via a confessional for example) and also, when he sings in the the very late Condor he's struggling to make lyrics for the song, meaning he actually cared about the rule at the time.
- Not really much of a wild guess, since even in the one episode DJ would seem to actually face consequences for not singing (Newf Kids), Noah still didn't sing. Then again, that whole sequence was more of a Deus ex Machina to keep DJ in the game accidentally.
- Courtney starts the season off with the "nice but stubborn" personality she had in S1, rather than the jerk one from S2.
- Duncan is more laid back and uncaring like on S1, rather than the whole "Jerk with a Heart of Gold" thing he had in S2.
- Gwen is also more indifferent and easily annoyed, as opposed to her nervous personality in S2.
- Trent isn't crazy anymore.
- Justin shows no signs of being a villain other than one unkind sentence.
- Well, the presence of Tyler, Ezekiel, Cody and Noah obviously.
- Geoff and Bridgette being a normal teenage couple like on S1, as opposed to the Make-Out Kids they were in S2.
- Harold's personality matches his S1 one more than his S2 one.
- The challenges are more dangerous, like the ones from S1.
- LeShawna hates Heather again, despite their truce in S2.
- Way more continuity, such as mentioning Owen's fear of heights or the contestants recalling previous episodes.
- I don't know... Duncan wasn't as clearly a Jerk with a Heart of Gold in TDI as he was in TDA but he was still a lot more sensitive then than the plain jerk he was this season (I can't imagine the Duncan of TDWT replacing DJ's bunny.) Maybe the writers were overcompensating?
- Gwen and Trent are still broken up, but other than that, this is probably true.
- The Gainax Ending conclusion to Total Drama World Tour seen in Australia is an alternate ending, deliberately made confusing and unsatisfying in order to piss off all the people who decided to download episodes early. The show's already done alternate endings before to provide each season with two different winners, only this time they decided to do a completely alternate final EPISODE. This explains why Cody was eliminated in the start of the final episode this time around. The producers have had problems with people downloading episodes illegally before and they decided to play a big joke by ensuring that the version of the episode that would be first to air worldwide would be the "bad" ending, so to speak (knowing Australia usually airs episodes at a much faster rate than North America or Europe), punishing people who downloaded it illegally by forcing them to live with an unsatisfactory ending for several months. The "real" ending and final Aftermath special will air first either on Cartoon Network in the USA, or maybe even in Canada, with Cartoon Network viewers also getting the "joke" ending. Once the real finale airs, it'll be replayed worldwide in Australia and elsewhere.
- Downloading via internet is clearly recognized by the producers, remember from "Princess Pride", so this, the alternate ending, may happen because they, for example, didn't show Courtney's reaction to Alejandro's declaration of love to Heather and their subsequent kiss. That could be a point in the alternate ending.
- Quite possibly topped off with some mention to the trick ending in the real ending. Such as: Chris: "What? You really thought that just one pineapple would cause the volcano to erupt? Potentially burning people so much that they need to be put into some robot suit just to be able to move? Pssh. Like that would ever happen!
- The cast's current situation, feral Zombie!Zeke, Darth Alejandro, Heather about to be crushed by volcanic rock, or the fact that the cast was stranded in the middle of the ocean with no boat in the end will not be the main focus, much to the chagrin of the contestants. Instead, it will focus on a sudden scandal where none of the contestants could actually sing; that software like Auto-Tune was used to make them sound good. Oddly enough, Courtney, (possibly the only one who could actually sing,) would end up being targeted the most.
- Personally, I just think Heather will come back unscathed, Alejandro will come back with shorter hair and maybe a scar or something (he probably won't come as a robot, because Chris said it was just temporary until he could get the proper medical attention), Sierra will probably come back with shorter hair (like Heather did in TDWT), and Zeke...gee, I think Ezekiel's dead. If he did come back, however. . .he would be in some sort of a cage because, well. . .he's not really. . .human. That aside, everyone else will come back just fine!
- In his last episode - maybe even after being eliminated - Cody will sing a solo.
- Somewhat Jossed: Cody gets a solo in Rapa-phooey, before the last episode.
- They already threw him into a lake in season one, I'm totally betting on this one.
- Maybe this is why we get Reloaded, too — Chris is so upset that he declares he's going to prove he's the REAL star of Total Drama by going through the whole thing with an entirely new cast.
- Ezekiel lost the stick due to a crocodile taking it.
- A donkey was apart of Harold's losing commercial. Said donkey did not help the serious commercial.
- A sexy beast that is known to "charm the pants off of just about every creature" manipulated Bridgette into staying behind.
- Said sexy beast also awoke the "animal" in Leshawna.
- A bear, Sasquatch, and baby seal ran into Lindsay. Of course, DJ WAS apart of this one.
- Various animals caused DJ to screw up winning, when it looked like he was about to win.
- Wouldn't that make them brother and sister?
Here's a list of the break ups (nearly all due to character derailment, which is just a hasty way to axe off every so called "OTP" [hey, it's not like every WMG has to go around everyone being in character]):
- Trent/Gwen: This pretty much already happened.
- Duncan/Courtney: As said in a below guess, Courtney could just be pretending to like Duncan. Courtney has
slowlybecome more bossy and the like, and threatens to sue at any time, and even gave Duncan a giant list of things he has to do (it was either the episode "Top Dog" or "2009: a Space Owen"). My real guess is that Duncan is a cover up because Courtney really has an even more strange crutch... - Tyler/Lindsay: Thanks to the Flanderization, this is obvious. The relationship ends suddenly, and Lindsay forgets which person is Tyler. Heck, I expect this exchange or something like that:Some TD fan: Hey, aren't you the guy who dated the really hot chick?
Tyler: It's not as good as it sounds. She forgot who I was.
TD fan: ...- Depressingly, they have probably one of the least dysfunctional relationships out of all the contestants
- There are 2 good reasons why Tyler won't break up with Lindsay, they start with D, and end with cups
- Owen/Izzy: Owen's so obviously gay it's not even funny. He's just using Izzy as a cover up. Besides, considering how he literally used her as a human shield ("Hook, Line and Screamer"), you can see that this isn't going anywhere anytime soon.
- Geoff/Bridgette: Again, this nearly happened in canon, and they even broke up at least once. And if Flanderization as right, Geoff became a jerk.
- Ezekiel/Eva: THIS IS ALREADY NOT A CANON PAIRING, sheesh.
- Cody/Noah: THIS IS NOT CANON EITHER. It is the cannon-ist of the cannons.
- Katie/Sadie: AGAIN WITH THE NOT-CANON.
- Owen/Mr. Coconut: Ugh.
Now, the final results... I don't know. I'll post them up when I think of them.
- They've been doing plenty of the second, with comments like "ooooh, stalkerlicious". And after scenes like the one in Celebrity Manhunt, we know they've at least recognized the ship.
- Jossed
She will be heartbroken and It will be seen as a Kick the Dog moment for Cody and all of the contestants will sympathize with her and give him the cold shoulder (bonus points if Gwen condemns him for it)
- Partially confirmed, partially tossed. She finds out that he tried to vote her off and starts crying, through it turns out just to be an act. The others are more annoyed at Sierra than angry at Cody.
- Considering the most recent Aftermath has revealed Blaineley to be a secret Gasshole and none too picky about the quality of her food I can actually see this happening.
- Jossed, though they're forced together in the Niagara Falls challenge.
- This Trent/Gwen fan hopes to God you are right. Yeah, they've already sunk my ship but I refuse to abandon it yet!
- As a (very depressed) Duncan/Gwen shipper I hope I am wrong, but short of major damage control signs seem to point that way.
- The truth is, if Duncan tried to break up with Courtney (legitimately or otherwise), she'd literally break every bone in his body. Depending on how you interpret Courtney's words to him near the end of I See London:Courtney: And how could you think it was okay to just...leave me like that?! Because it was not! Abandon me again, and it will not be pretty. Now...get over here, you big lug! (hugs him) I'm not really mad! I just missed you.
- That means only one thing, if it's true: the writers are planning a massive deconstruction, like the one done in Neon Genesis Evangelion, but, hopefully without all the Nightmare Fuel. Something will sink and it's not going to get pretty.
- P.S.: And I'm not talking only about ships.
- And as of 'Aftermath Aftermayhem' we get what can be seen as Ship Tease with Gwen and Trent. The plot thickens...
- Confirmed.
- Was Noah/Izzy ever that popular before this season? If it wasn't, I doubt they'd want to "troll" people that prefer this couple when they made the episode almost a year ago.
- Noah/Izzy probably grew in popularity after the Island special. Plus, this would be a great way to troll The Kobold Necromancer (an Ezzy shipper)
- Very unlikely to happen.
- So, that explains why they're setting up Heather/Alejandro
- Could be; I think a Heather/Duncan romance would have had a similar sort of dynamic with them being outright enemies at first. Which makes it pretty funny that Heather has been flirting with Duncan to make Alejandro jealous. They (Heather and Duncan) also had a couple of Ship Tease moments in TDA - they were 'forced' to kiss each other, she grabbed onto him when they thought they were going to drown and Heather seemed really upset when Courtney came back. Maybe they were toying with the idea again.
- It was all Chris's doing. It makes better ratings, and to screw Courtney over.
- Zoey's bad judgement, combined with the manipulation of Mike's condition by others will cause Zoey to turn on him and vote him off, while Chris will stand there with a smug grin on his face. Zoey isn't the most patience person on the show, and Mike was on THIN ICE last season before she learned about his condition.
- I agree though it's probably going to be The Malevolent One who votes her off. Remember no one knows about this new personality yet. The Malevolent one said "One by one they will all fall" and all includes Zoey.
- Ultimately jossed.
- I like it. That could also explain why she was fired from Celebrity Manhunt; either Josh pulled strings to get her sacked or she just handled being rejected really badly and threw a tantrum (maybe even on-air).
- Just a guess here, but the writers probably wanted Beth to win because she's a girl, and it would keep the playing field even, as well as keeping away those pesky Moral Guardians and feminists. However, due to some Executive Meddling of epic proportions, either the CN or Teletoon forced them into creating two separate endings again, allowing Duncan to win.
- Jossed. Owen wins in the end.
- The Joss was Jossed. There is now a season 2 with all of the TDI campers
in itappearing.- I can joss your joss joss Alejandro still had his burns which doesn't stay like that in a cartoon, and also the aftermath episodes, plus Heather wouldn't willingly shave her head for anything.
- The Joss was Jossed. There is now a season 2 with all of the TDI campers
- Theoretically, that guess hasn't been jossed yet, as the show could reveal that after season 2 (during the special?) or season 3.
- They're going into seasons 5 and 6 now. Probably safe to say it's been Jossed
- This theory is debatable. It's a toss-up everywhere I've heard it, but probably due to confusion of the meaning. I, of course, agree with the above comment that they are going into Seasons 5, 6, etc., and so it has been Jossed
- The real grand prize was admittance to heaven, but Owen blew it by succumbing to the sin of greed. Every season after a winner is crowned, Chris will continue to increase the prize money tenfold, and the campers' suffering will continue eternally, since a teenager's lust for wealth is insatiable.
- Further supported by the fact that Heather and Gwen admit to have done some bad, bad, bad things, so horrible that the producers of the show shut the cameras off while they were talking about it.
- Duncan too.
- That's just silly, there obviously in Purgatory
This might also be connected to why the Total Drama cast got snubbed for the Gemmie Award in the Celebrity Manhunt Reunion Special. The fans were extremely disappointed by how so many of the characters were radically different from how they were in season one, and this (combined with the absence of some of their favorites like Cody, Noah, and Ezekiel) led to the Total Drama contestants losing the Gemmie.
As for why they started acting normal in World Tour, they probably between season two and season three that the audience liked them for their actual selves (or at least whatever selves they displayed in season one), so they returned to normal in order to keep the audience happy... and through that, remain famous like they wanted.
- I like this. Geoff's line "I still think kissing makes for great television" could also explain why he and Bridgette were flanderized so badly.
- Sorry, but it was proven on the Total Drama Wiki that the United States has the same TDI and TDA endings as Canada.
- Gwen beat Owen only in Norway, Poland, Romania, and Sweden, while Owen won in Canada, the United States, Latin America, the United Kingdom, Denmark, Italy, Australia, the Philippines, Russia, Serbia, Hungary, the Netherlands, Portugal, Israel, France and Spain.
- Beth beat Duncan in the United Kingdom, Poland, Italy, Romania, Hungary, Australia, Israel, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, France, Finland, New Zealand and Brazil, while Duncan won in Canada, the United States, Denmark, Norway, the Netherlands, and Latin America.
- As for World Tour, Alejandro won in Canada, Russia, Romania, Poland, Denmark, Norway, Sweden and Hungary, while Heather won in Australia, the United States, France, Latin America, Serbia, Israel, and Italy.
- P.S. I heard that there was an alternate ending in the Celebrity Manhunt TDA Special that explains why some countries did not air World Tour by killing off the original contestants.
- Wouldn't that change "Total Drama: Revenge of the Island", since 9 of the 24 ex-contestants (not counting Blaineley, who didn't appear at all in TDRI) made a cameo in that season?
- She had managed to stay in the game, and accept her elimination once she was eliminated. Basically meaning that she "never came back", hence Chris McLean's words, after being eliminated (unlike Owen and Duncan, the previous winners).
- Combined with the fact that Heather's ending came first, it wouldn't make sense for Alejandro to win Total Drama World Tour in Canada, since the bad guys get eliminated before the Final Two (i.e. Heather ranked 3rd in Island, Justin placed 7th in Action, Courtney tied with Owen for 4th/3rd in Action, and Scott received 4th place in "Revenge of the Island").
- She has lasted longer in the game without having to return (in this case, she ranked 3rd (TDI), 9th (TDA), and 1st (TDWT) in the 66 episodes she competed in)
- Did I forget to mention that Heather almost made it to the merge in "Action"? If Heather wasn't eliminated in "Million Dollar Babies", then she'd be the only female to make it to the merge in all of the first three seasons (the others being Owen and Duncan). She'd also be the only contestant, overall, to do so without having to return (unlike Owen and Duncan).
- She has made it to the Final Three, more than any other contestant, with two times (Total Drama Island and Total Drama World Tour).
- She managed to be in the show's Top Ten without having to come back. The other contestant was Owen, who won Total Drama Island, got eliminated in the Final Eight/Final Nine (hence the episode name "Ocean's Eight - Or Nine") during his first elimination in Total Drama Action, and got 8th place in Total Drama World Tour.
- Out of the first three season winners, she was eliminated twice. Owen and Duncan, who were also season winners, got eliminated three times, because they had to return to the show. (Owen in "Rock n' Rule", and Duncan in "I See London...")
- Without having to return, she is actually the Highest-Ranking Contestant at 3, 9 and 1. (Although Duncan is actually the Highest-Ranking Contestant (at 4, 1, and 5), he had to return to achieve this).
- Although Heather and Duncan are the only contestants to be in the Final Four more than once without having to return, she did better than Duncan with an average finish of 4th (ranking 3, 9, and 1 in the three seasons she competed in), while he had an average finish of 8th (placing 4, 1, and 18) if one does not count his return in "I See London...". In fact, when they were in the Final Four together in "Total Drama Island", Heather made it farther than Duncan by one episode, as Duncan ranked 4th, and Heather made it to the semi-finals where she ranked 3rd.
- She managed to beat every single contestant, including Alejandro, who was still beaten by Heather.
- The lowest rank that she got was 9th place (in "Action"), and she managed to made it past 10th place (while others ranked far behind "10th" in their lowest ranks that they got), while Owen placed 10th in "Action" in his first elimination, and Duncan got 19th in his first elimination in "World Tour".
- She has managed to win some post-merge challenges (i.e. Individual Immunity) in "Total Drama World Tour" in her winning season.
- She was on a winning team in her winning season. (Owen, winner of Island, was on the Screaming Gophers; Duncan, winner of Action, was on the Screaming Gaffers; and Cameron, who recently won TDRI, is on the Mutant Maggots).
- The Final Two will be all girls.
- One person will win in the US, Canada, and VOD Providers (such as Netflix, iTunes, Time Warner Cable, etc..), while the other wins in all of Latin America (including Brazil).
- Canada will have its first girl winner, since the girl that won TDRI, is actually a boy.
- The final two would also either be old vs. old, old vs. new, or new vs. new.
- This would be the first season in which a girl wins in BOTH the United States, and Canada, since Heather won in the United States, and not in Canada. Also reversed for Cameron (a male contestant who was mistaken for one, by Lightning), since he didn't win in the USA.
- As for the Final Three, the trend where The Antagonist (Heather (S1)/Courtney (if one counts Owen as 4th)/Alejandro/Lightning), The Tough Contestant (Gwen/Duncan/Heather (S3)/Zoey), and The Goofy Contestant (Owen/Beth/Cody/Cameron) make the Final Three is expected to continue this season.
- "Total Drama World Tour" and "Total Drama: Revenge of the Island" are the seasons of "Total Drama" in which the winner is not the same in Canada and America.
- Heather won in America, while Alejandro won in Canada
- Cameron won in Canada and the Spanish America, while Lightning won in the English America.
- In TDWT, Heather would be the main winner, since her ending was made first, and Total Drama hasn't had a female winner in the local showings (US and Canada) until 2010.
- As for TDRI, Cameron would've been an obvious winner in the United States, if the network company didn't ignore the votes.
Let's take Eva for example, she could have been suicide out of anger and took that anger to the afterlife. She use to be a wrestler of some sort at her school, who was pushed too the edge by her parents and couldn't take it anymore.
- Perhaps they all fell victim to Killing Games? Now, they are forced to play non-lethal versions of them in the hereafter.
- Owen actually kept the prize money and spent it on the yacht party he promised instead of ripping up the check. (This would actually be a somewhat better ending, as it prevents the entire first season from being pointless.)
- Gwen and Trent did break up, but for unknown purposes, and it happened offscreen.
- Trent never had an OCD related obsession with the number 9.
- Beth never had a boyfriend.
- Heather's hair grew back quickly over time.
- Justin and Courtney were never villainous.
- Izzy never decided to change her name several times.
- DJ and Chef were never a part of a secret alliance.
- Duncan and Courtney didn't break up (at least before the infamous love triangle).
- Most importantly, the island really is an island and not a peninsula close to civilization, which the fourth and fifth seasons seem to confirm.
- Uh, sure why not? Someone already did this for All-Stars being Mike's dream when Scott knocked him out. I think there's also one above for Pahkitew Island being Dave's dream.
Think Series/True Life with a bit of Series/The Office thrown in, but with a slightly Lighterand Softer feel — but there could still be serious moments. Docu Soaps about celebrities who are "famous for being famous" are incredibly popular these days, but this could put a Sliceof Life spin on it from time to time. They've already parodied The Amazing Race, so it makes logical sense they could handle other Reality Show genres. Since it's a cartoon with a strong Periphery Demographic, they could push the envelope and spoof shows from different genres. Teen Mom? Jackass? There's a lot to work with, out there.
Plus, it would give them an excuse to revisit some fan favorite characters without shoehorning them into a competition setting.
Chris could either be: constantly messing with them in cognito a la Punk'd. Maybe he could be one of the characters being documented. (Chris as he experiences karmic irrelevancy in the media?)
Given that Sierra spilled the beans about Chris' birthdate in World Tour, Total Drama: Pahkitew Island (the second part of season 5) is implied to take place in 2009. Pahkitew takes place a year after All-Stars, so Chris can have time to find the 14 contestants for the season. In other words:
- 2011: Total Drama (Season 7)
- late 2009-early 2010: Ridonculous Race (Given that Leonard, TDPI's sole returnee, mentioned his time on TDPI, it's likely that TDRR took place around 2009 and 2010)
- According to the creators, Geoff, Owen and Noah are 19 at the time of the Ridonculous Race. Since they were 16 in TDI, Race would have to take place 3 years after Island.
- 2009: Pahkitew (Chris claims that he is 30 years old)
- 2008: All-Stars
- 2007: Revenge of the Island
- 2005-06: World Tour (It's possible that Drumheller took place on April Fool's Day, meaning that the season took place somewhere between late 2005 and early 2006)
- late Summer/early Fall 2004-Winter 2005: Action (CMTDARS takes place a year after the season ends)
- late Spring-early Summer 2004: Island
- Action is stated to start only two days after the Island special, though. (corrected).
- In "Total Drama World Tour", Team Victory (a gender-equal team in the season) was wiped out from the season in episode 11. This left Team Amazon (a female-dominated team) and Team Chris (the male-dominated team). While Team Chris was an all-boy team at the merge (with Owen, Duncan, and Alejandro advancing), Team Amazon had three girls (Sierra, Courtney, and Heather) and the team's sole male member (Cody) merge.
- Between episodes 11 ("I Love Ridonc and Roll") and 21 ("Ca-Noodling") in "Total Drama: The Ridonculous Race", all of the male contestants (with the exception of the Goths, who were eliminated in episode 20) were eliminated one-by-one. As a result, the only male contestants left in the season were from the unisex teams (Carrie and Devin; Jacques and Josee; and Ryan and Stephanie). In other words, the final five initially composed of three unisex teams and two all-girl teams.
- Comment: I picked up on the idea, after comparing a similar instance with "Revenge of the Island" (male-dominated generation) and "Pahkitew Island" (female-dominated season).
Also it would definitely explain why some of the choices made in the seasons following the first come off as desperate attempts to keep the show fresh and interesting or the show having no idea on what to do with the contestants after the original planned finale. In fact, the creators have said they chose to reuse the TDI cast for TDA solely because of how popular they were, suggesting they believed at the time that creating a totally new cast for the second season would result in outcries of They Changed It, Now It Sucks! (despite the fact Survivor-style shows in real life change the cast of contestants every season whereas TD wouldn't until its fourth season).
The age where you could be a babysitter (at least I think) is 14. That means that assuming Jen babysat MacArthur at 14, and from personal experience, I think I started being home alone at anywhere from 9-11 years old. Let's assume that she had a babysitter until she was 10, and that Jen started babysitting her when she was 3. This means that she was born in at least 2011. Owen and Noah were confirmed to be 19, so that means the TDI cast were born in 2012.
Since they're 16 in Island, that would mean that the first and second seasons took place in at least 2028. There was likely a two year time skip between Action and World Tour, because it was likely that they were airing Island while filming Action, and going by the American TV system, the season would've wrapped up airing in May 2029, and then the next season aired from September 2029 to May 2030. This is because the Gemmies would only consider that year's programming. Then the Gemmies happen in September, and World Tour took aired from September 2030/2031 to May 2031/2032.
Then it gets more complex with Revenge of the Island. Let's assume that everyone is 16 there as well, so we assume that they were born in 2014, since we assume that Revenge was filmed the same year as World Tour or shortly thereafter. That Revenge aired from either September to December 2031/2032 or January to May 2032/2033. Then there was another timeskip thanks to Chris being arrested. Total Drama All Stars logically aired most likely from January to May 2033/2034. By this time, the Island cast was 19 (which is why I believe Sam was picked over Owen, because he would have been in Ridonculous Race at the time.
There isn't much to talk about, but assuming it was filmed anywhere from the end of All Stars to the end of the year, it was likely filmed in 2034 with no given dates, as Pahkitew has weather controls. This means that the 3rd gen was born in 2016, 2017 or 2018, and since Chris was revealed to be 30 at the time, he was born in either 2003 or 2004. Also, Blainely would have been born in 2000 as well most likely.
However, I must admit that Sierra brings up the date that Chris was born. However, the host is a very strong narcissist, so it would make sense that he wanted to hide his age. However, we know that other people have several problems, such as Izzy being a psychopath, but it could be a bluff, because she wanted to get support, as everyone hates Chris.
- Jossed. In the Total Drama Action episode "Crouching Courtney, Hidden Owen", Chris says during his sign-off after Harold lets Leshawna Jr. go, "Will Leshawna Jr. make it out of here before 2020?" (pronounced two thousand and twenty), the joke being that she was going so slow that it would take years for her to get out, meaning that it has to take place prior to that year, likely significantly prior, in order for the joke to make sense.
- Given Chris' vanity, why would he claim to be over two decades older than he actually is?
- Ridonculous Race couldn't have taken place at the same time as All-Stars, we saw Dwayne and Dwayne Jr. watching Pahkitew Island on two occasions and since Leonard was in the season they had to have already wrapped up filming.
- At some point over 13 years, the sea levels in the area lowered enough for the island to resurface at least partially. Chris and Chef likely then paid some conservationists to artificially speed up the process, reconstruct the old sets and reintroduce the native wildlife. All so they could make the network sign off on a new season.
- Trent is Shuya, since they're both cool, kind-hearted guitar playing ladies-men.
- Chris is Sakamochi, since they're both the sadistic hosts of the game.
- Heather is Mitsuko, since they're both manipulative bitches who use charm to get ahead in the game.
- Duncan is Shogo, just because they're both awesome.
- Alejandro is Kazuo, since they're the male antagonists.
These first few seasons already have borderline-lethal challenges, actually lethal intern working conditions, a sadistic host, and the over-the-top reality-TV format. It's not hard to imagine that the show only gets crazier and more dangerous over the years or decades, to the point that: one day, when the dust settles on the aftermath of the Dark Days, media producers from the newly-formed Capitol are doing research for good, fear-instilling propaganda material to keep the districts under control, and then suddenly they come upon old Total Drama reruns … Alternately, Total Drama itself is still running in that future (and likely with a far higher tolerance for abuse in future seasons—perhaps contestants are already dying on it by then, just not at each other's hands, not to mention it's hosted by people that make Chris look like a saint in comparison), and—sensing a golden opportunity—the Capitol's media department buys out the franchise from the private studio that used to broadcast it, effectively nationalising the production. The one big change to the format? Require the contestants to kill each other … And that's how the Hunger Games were born.
- Awesome theory, but I don't see much logic behind it. TDA showed animated versions of Toronto and Vancouver that looked as if they were from today, and twenty year old limos like the Lame-o-sine would have broken down or have been totally restored. Also, if it was in the future, they'd make it blatantly obvious it was the future, and urban areas would look a bit different. Since the two cities shown are present date, it's unlikely we'd come up with what you said in the next few years, or twenty of so.
- World War III was not kind to the United States. California in particular was so devastated that the Total Drama producers decided not to do episodes there for fear of appearing disrespectful. The East Coast still managed to thrive, but as the song pointed out, crime increased overall in New York City. The US and Canada became even firmer allies and travel between the two countries was greatly streamlined. However, of the two, Canada emerged the greater superpower.
- It isn't a Stealth Parody. It's an open parody. They don't make any attempt to disguise any of the facts you listed above.
- I think you mean that it is a parody of reality shows. But in this guess, the entire series is So Bad, It's Good on purpose; the plot hole in up the creek, Cody's Flanderization, everything.
- I'm not sure if you got what I was saying. I meant that all the campers are cliched stereotypes, the unexpected Wall Banger vote-offs, the emphasis on the word "drama", I meant that they did do this on purpose, but made no attempt to hide it. In the commercials, they even list each camper by their stereotype.( Sorry if I seamed like a jerk the way I wrote my comment before. It sounded different in my head.)
- I think you mean that it is a parody of reality shows. But in this guess, the entire series is So Bad, It's Good on purpose; the plot hole in up the creek, Cody's Flanderization, everything.
Season 1 established the series. Season 2 took that series and added plenty of Die for Our Ship and Flanderization. The derailed have since been rerailed and the Flanderized elements have been toned down. Season 3 appears to be sending up original character: Sierra is an unsympathetic Audience Surrogate with New Powers as the Plot Demands (plus an obsession with fan favorite Cody), while Alejandro is a Manipulative Bastard villain whose flaws have yet to become apparent (as of episode 5).
- That's why Moral Guardians didn't destroy those reality shows already - they are too busy suing Drawn Together's creators.
- Lordryu TJ—Hijotee
- Wrties script fics—uses Fan Films.
- Writes works out of the blue—advertises for films that don't even exist.
- Stone sober—high as a kite (Hijotee admits that he takes drugs).
- No Original Characters (mostly), yet Crossover—Original Characters, no crossover.
- Likes a major character (Duncan)—likes a minor character (Cody).
- Violent compared to TDI (See: Total Drama Torture)—lighter compared to TDI.
- Mainly ships a straight pairing (The cannon ones, except for Duncan/Courtney)—Ships gay pairings.
- Copy pasting a lot, with a dash of original plot (See: the Total Cartoon series)—original plot, with a dash of stolen quotes (fan film equivalent of copy/paste)
- Speaking of pairings, ships cannon ones (mostly)—ships crack ones.
The cast shake-up during Total Drama Action is because not all the original players returned. Dreaded Real Life, simple disinterest, and other factors led to most of them leaving, while others didn't want to play their original concepts anymore. The GM ultimately solved this problem by taking the profiles of all the characters who weren't being played anymore and handing them out to anyone who was interested.
- World Tour sees another meta-cast shakeup, as most of the characters change players once again, along with some of the newcomers wanting to play as older, neglected characters, and a few creating new characters entirely. Encouraged by the outcome of this, the GM next attempts to completely revitalize the game with Reloaded.
- Beth is more related to Carl, than Harold. Also, I think Major Monogram and Chris McLean are related based on the fact that they bend the rules. Even Monogram does that in "A Real Boy", when he claims that he and Carl are going off the lot for lunch, and then he tells Carl that it's not allowed.
Why do I believe that this show and Total Drama exist in the same universe? Simply put, most of the challenges would be impossible for a human to survive. The 1000 foot cliff would shatter your everything or give you such a shock that it would kill you. Another thing is that every shocking thing (in a literal sense) is so strong that there are white lines, and eventually a white outline. That could easily fry a human being.
My proposal is that each stunt would actually kill their contestants, and to counter this, they have some clones on standby. However, they could also use the clones in the dangerous situations. This could also explain the flanderization in All Stars, as Gandhi and Joan of Arc act nothing like their clone parents, so maybe they just missed a few things in brain replication, or the derailed versions were prototypes. Also, the memories and knowledge get passed on through brain cloning, done much later after Clone High. The above theory states the show takes place in the late 2020s and early 2030s. This would easily give them enought the government enough time to perfect the technology and license it out to companies for any reason, as the clones were concieved in the mid-80s.
