Since a good chunk of Total Drama characters are Expies, I wonder whom the new characters will be based on.

After a year and a half, we finally got something. Based on the poster, I can definitely see who's gonna be a fan favorite.

We got an advert for the season that shows this will air on boomerang, for some reason.

According to the Total Drama subreddit it's because Cartoon Network was or is being renamed to Boomerang in Canada and this trailer is for the Canadian release.

To keep this thread active, what's the best season of the show that isn't Island?

World Tour for me. I think Alejandro is the best villain this show ever had, and the songs have managed to stick in my head since I first saw the show.

I really liked the Re-Don-culous Race. Not exactly a Total Drama series, but close enough, and definitely felt refreshing after All Stars. Wished we got another season of that instead of Total Drama Rama. And the Goths are the best Total Drama contestants ever.

When I was watching the final two hours of Teletoon last night, before it became the new Cartoon Network Canada, I found that Teletoon had switched to a logo-plastered version of TDI, and it's the US censored version!

Strangely, years earlier, I saw Teletoon airing the "romancing" line in TDA instead of the original "un-pantsing", and at the very end of TDWT, they cut out the word "spaz". What is this, the UK?

So, there you have it. Not even Canadian TV is safe from Total Drama censorship.

Edit: Correcting "same" to "safe".

Also, Christian Potenza couldn't Reprise his role, so Terry Mc Gurrin, the voice of Don from Ridonculous Race, is taking over for this season.

I'll need more dialogue to see if this is a bad idea or not, but I feel they shouldn't have gotten a guy already in the franchise to do the voice.

Well they've historically double-casted characters and it often works out. IIRC, though, Terry's only voice in the franchise was Don, which is kind of ironic.

I do some cleanup and then I enjoy shows you probably think are cringe.

Any theories why Christian Potenza isn't voicing Chris anymore? Given he was said to be recording for the new season back in September 2021, why was he recast, did he do something bad to anger higher ups?

Christian Potenza is no longer voicing Chris most likely due to allegations of sexual harassment. In this link shared in a discord server I’m in, the person Sonya is talking about is Potenza. As seen in the screen shots here, Megan Fahlenbock (the voice of Gwen) was informed about it.

I was unsure before (a lot of people are unsure if he has red hair or not) but the covert reaction fron Sonya does make it seem likely. I remember Megan not being recast for Dramarama was an issue at some point (though I think she did reappear).

However, I'm surprised if he was formally charged with anything that it didn't become news earlier. Plus, Terry's announcement that he's taking over Chris's role felt very lighthearted in this context.

By the way, keep an eye out for Harsher in Hindsight related entries to any Total Drama pages. These are just allegations for now, but people might jump the gun.

Legally, you can't do that. You should look into SYOC fanseasons, though. I helped make one a decade ago and I'm still proud of it.

Ripper will be voiced by Fred Kennedy, according to the series wiki.

Another contestant named Emma?

This season, the showrunners included more non-white contestants, a couple LGBTQ characters, and even an amputee.

Scary Girl already looks like a fan favorite.

The trailers seem to confirm Zee is the amputee. Ampu-zee if you will.

It's not a leak. They advertised the season airing on April 10th. From what I can tell, it's an official release on streaming that included an English dub. I think it's okay to trope and I've been doing so.

Yeah, I don't see any reason to not trope it if the release is official. Maybe spoiler it though for English viewers.
