The Total Drama series

Well there's no Zoey holding an Idiot Ball, so that's a plus.

Jeez, that avatar.

I'll wait until the finale before rendering an opinion on that. All-Stars was entertaining for a while before dropping the ball hard; this season seems like it may be going in the other direction — with very few exceptions we've done nothing but shed the more tired one-dimensional characters for the last eight episodes. Still, it comes down to whether we can get a satisfying ending, and a lot of the time we could have spent developing the 'main' contestants sadly got siphoned by those some less interesting ones.

This season hasn't been incredibly interesting yet, but I'm alright with it so far.

Except um. There doesn't seem to be a real villain, does there? Unless they're just hiding really well or something.

That seems so likely that I'm not really sure how I didn't think of her at all. Can hardly see most of the others making it in any case...

Based solely on publicity she's gotten in America, it seems Sugar is a strong bet. Whoever does the ads for Cartoon Network just loves her, she's in every commercial.

So Sugar is the new Owen.

Sugar is basically Owen minus everything likable about Owen.

Yeah. ...

But it'll be hilarious if she wins. So much anger and butthurt from the fans.

See what I mean?

GODDAMNIT SUGAR, WHY HAVEN'T YOU BEEN ELIMINATED YET?

(Sorry, Sugar is just REALLY annoying).

When she got immunity right at the beginning of the episode I was just like, buuuuuh.

I think they might actually be going through with it. We've not got that many episodes left.

I've gotten all caught up now, and I'm honestly enjoying this season.

So who do you think will be in the final 2? I'm predicting Sugar Vs. Dave.

But I'm hoping for Scarlet Vs. Shawn.

Dave was eliminated this episode, friendo.

I think it will be two of Shawn, Sky, and Jasmine. Can't even guess which ones, it's hard to imagine them not making it.

Whichever one doesn't end up in the final will be fourth though, I bet, behind Sugar.

I want to see Scarlett make it but I don't feel like it will turn out that way.

Dammit, and I was so sure Dave was gonna make it.

He had a main character feel to him.

That's part of the reason I've actually hated Dave ever since the first episode. He had the vibe to him, but in an incredibly forced way. Just every scene or moment with him feels so awkward from a writing perspective than it being an extension of his character.

More or less than the writers mangling Disassociative Identity Disorder with Mike?

I think he's okay, but his moping over Sky got old quickly.

Chris, if you want Sugar to shut up (and really, join the club), why make the opening challenge something she'll win?

Finale: Sugar wins, all of the previous cast are definitively revealed to have died just after hooking up with different people than any of the shippers wanted, fart joke, roll credits over a group photo of the writers giving the bird.

I'm kind of rooting for Scarlet and Jasmine over the other players at this point. Not sure if that's likely. I want to see Scarlet take over the island, though.

I'm rooting for either Jasmine or Shawn at this point. Maybe Sky and Scarlet as well, but I'm not 100% sure yet.

wait if all the animals were robots how did ellas singing calm them down

I've already seen the whole series since it aired in Italy first, so I know what goes Down and who wins, though I'm not heartless so I'll keep my yap shut for the time being

Well. Um.

New creepiest episode, y/n?

I said I'm not speaking

x4 her voice was exactly the right frequency to do...something.

It's non-important,but... what do you guys think of Chris & Chef in general?

I already said this once, but I'll say it again. I know that some folks, like The Kobold Necromancer hate the character, but I maintain (and I argued this with him last night) that without Chris and his sadistic ways, the show falls apart. He's the glue that holds the whole thing together.

Chris is one of those characters that I hate but if his personality changed in any way, the show would be worse for it. I may not like how sadistic he is, but without that sadism, half the show is just pointless.

Chef is one of those characters that needs to be used more. He's basically just a cameo in every episode now and I really wish he'd go back to his former prominence.
