Total Drama cleanup

^The pairing is definitely not the healthy kind, but both members of the pairing are at fault, not just Priya. The entry can be kept if rewritten.

On the subject of the new cast, the BaseBreakingCharacter.Total Drama page now tends to add every character who gets slight criticism, like Julia, Wayne, and temporarily Zee (who I removed). Julia and Wayne would be more fitting for the Broken Base page (the former's handling as a villain in the second half, the latter winning the second half, but the characters themselves are still some of the most popular from the cast (I know some people turned on Wayne and there are some rabid haters on Twitter / X, but they're not enough). That's why a period of six months is necessary because any hate these characters may have will likely die down.

The only charactes from the cast that really became Base-Breaking Characters after the second season and will probably stay like this are Caleb, Priya, and maybe Nichelle. Any thoughts on this?

On YMMV.Total Drama Ice To Beat You, there seems to be a bit of an edit war over an Ass Pull entry.

I think Priya, Caleb, and Wayne will be valid for base breakers, but only after six months because their base-breaking status isn't from their season one behavior. Julia was already a bit contentious in season one, but I'm not sure if she reached base breaking level until season two.

Art Draw 12 wrote the original entry, so they are edit warring by continuing to re-add it. I think the point of contention is the Fridge Logic about her finding paper, but I don't think that changes what should be main point of contention, which is whether the contract thing was set up enough. They did get a scene together earlier in the episode but I have seen criticism that they didn't have an established rivalry before then beyond a single brief exchange in season one.

Is Zee valid for the BBC page? I'm not sure if he has enough haters and he is already on the Ensemble Dark Horse page, so I'm not sure if he counts. The 6 months limit probably doesn't apply because the second season doesn't have much to do with his popularity like with Priya, Caleb, and to a lesser extent Wayne.

Zee is one of the few characters I've seen to be nearly universally loved. The only complaint I've seen from the second season is that he isn't used enough.

I'm going over the Ridonculous Race page, and the They Wasted a Perfectly Good Plot page, and this one stands out to me.

• As the season was coming to an end, several characters who were victims of their nefarious ways (such as Sisters & Goths) commented that karma would eventually get them or express desire in them suffering some form of punishment implying that karma was inevitable. But when they're finally eliminated... Well, nothing major happens to them.

I think people keep ignoring that the Ice Dancers getting third place, bronze, is a terrible fate for them due to their obsessively competitive attitude. I've seen one or two people mad they didn't get enough "karma," but the show clearly framed their loss as such. Additionally, Josee did seriously suffer The Dog Bites Back when Jacques refused to save her from a panic attack due to her claustrophobia (which might fit better for TWAPGP since IIRC this tension didn't come up again in the next episode).

There's also an entry about Bridgette not appearing being a wasted plot which I don't think counts.

Agreed.
