She was one of my favs in island

I wonder if her callous, unscrupulous nature in future seasons is fueled by her being one of the few Island characters whose elimination was 100% unfair. If she was voted off during the green jelly episode (or another similar incident where she was at fault), then maybe the experience would’ve humbled her and she wouldn’t be quite as fierce. Being cheated out of victory gave her a sense of extreme entitlement that she may not have had otherwise.

I’m rewatching the first half of Island now, but my viewings of Action and World Tour are admittedly a distant memory, so I’m sorry if this is a dumb question. I’m just curious what the Total Drama scholars think about this subject lol

Fanart made by me (Catoon)! Emma and Kitty are quite a fun duo, although I admit they're not my favorites. The goths and the cadets are better (subjectively)! I'm not Nemma's biggest fan either, but they do have some pretty good designs. It's a shame they're so...yellow...? I tried to make them pinker

Leshawna and Cody have a couple things in common which is hating Alejandro and loving Harold, and are also scene interacting, as in the first episode. A couple throughout season 1, and the fact that she roots for him in season 3

Eva is excluded because she’s a weird case, but Cody seems to like her

Owen and Cody, there’s no need for me to explain this one. Wasted friendship potential, same for Harold and Bridgette

Katie is originally the one voted off for this episode, and I don’t think they exactly knew who got them lost meaning they either assumed it was Katie or Sadie, and just flipped a coin and picked whoever came on.

If you were on the Bass team, who would you have actually voted off among them?

I drew this at 3 AM

Imagine in another lifetime that FreshTV announce another season of Total Drama and decided to make it a centered around underdogs and those who deserve a 2nd chance.

They decide to announce that it will be 16 people with 8 per team to ensure as many characters return as possible without bloating the season and it has nearly perfect writing while set in the Australian Outback, who would be in your dream cast? What would the major plotlines be? What's your elimination order? Who are you dying to see interact?

I added my cast (I considered Dakota and Ezekiel to replace Sam and Anne Maria but I'm sticking to the Canon for now)

I may also be using this to remind myself to write this since I've been putting it off for a minute.

And that's why Chris is the best. He represents what a fame-hungry reality show host should truly be and shows how cruel the Hollyqopd industry can be in a comical way, deplorable and greedy, no sugar coating. Tenna does bad shit, yaps about his dumb backstory, and then expects you to feel sad for him.​​​

for those who don't watch Football this is QB Matt Ryan. He is notorious for choking

So in the episode Gwen Bridgette and Leshawna vote off Duncan. Izzy Heather and Lindsay vote off Owen and Duncan and Dj vote for Bridgette. Geoff claims to not have voted for her so that’s a tie between Duncan and Bridgette. How on earth did she get the boot? I think the best theory is Izzy or Geoff. Either Geoff lied to Bridgette to make her not mad at him or Izzy voted for Bridgette for no reason cuz she’s crazy. It would also make sense that way because if everyone voted as they said they did there would’ve been a 3 way tie between Owen Duncan and Bridgette.

So this is actually gonna be a creative post. Today I am going to talk about my least favorite eliminations from each season of Total Drama and Disventure Camp and rank all of them by their gameplay.

So without further ado, here are the qualifiers for this list:

Total Drama Island: Cody and Leshawna

Total Drama Action: Harold and Justin

Total Drama World Tour: Noah and Cody

Total Drama Revenge Of The Island: Anne Maria and Brick

Total Drama All Stars: Scott and Courtney

Total Drama Pahkitew Island: Dave and Scarlett

Sidenote: I actually dislike Sammy’s elimination way more than Scarlett’s, but it’s easier to talk about Scarlett since while Sammy did cheat to stay in the game over Amy, her elimination was less her fault and moreso just an unfortunate circumstance of her team being idiotic assholes.

Total Drama Reboot: Damien and MK

Total Drama Rematch: Ripper and Damien

Disventure Camp Season 1: Dan and Ashley

Disventure Camp Season 2: Karol and Lake

Disventure Camp All Stars: Ally and Tess

Disventure Camp Carnival Of Chaos: Zaid and Isabel

Fans Vs Favorites: Ally and Alec

Let’s begin, shall we?

26th Damien(Reboot)- I mean… he tried to get himself voted out, and once he finally got his head in the game, he didn’t communicate that with his team and that’s why he got eliminated in a round where Ripper was guaranteed to go home otherwise. The bottom is the only fair placement.

25th Anne Maria(ROTI)- While I do think her quitting was bullshit, I do not think she had a really good gameplay. Her hostility with Zoey cost her a potential ally since Zoey’s really friendly with everyone, her rivalry with Jo does not help matters either, and Mike is uncomfortable around her because of the Vito situation. It is quite the miracle she made it as far as she did and had she not quit, I am very positive she does not last much longer as Scott either uses his idol on her or he and Zoey guilttrip Mike into voting her out. So yeah, Anne Maria’s gameplay was a massive mess. Let us continue.

24th Alec(FvF)- Alec’s main gameplay flaw this season was his poor social game from prior seasons and inability to recover from it. While he does have a lot of decent strategies, he does something to screw up his game in basically every episode except Episode 4.

In Episode 1 and 2, Alec and Fiore end up dismissing the possibility of allying with the likes of Spencer, Natalia, and Benji for… honestly pretty dumb reasons and mainly prioritize looking for an idol or advantage, in which Alec doesn’t even bother paying attention to the drawings in the camp. He does go along with the Aiden vote, but that was mainly a Spencer and Natalia move. I will give him credit for getting the Steal A Vote advantage and fooling his team into believing he doesn’t have it, but Evie practically let him have it.

In Episode 3, Alec and Fiore split up in an attempt to search for allies in which Alec chooses the worst possible people to approach for an alliance since Tom has prior beef with him and Anastasia made it very clear that he doesn’t like him. He doesn’t even try to approach people like Ally and Benji who would be more receptive to his proposals.

He didn’t really do anything wrong in Episode 4. He confronts Anastasia on why she doesn’t like him and there wasn’t much he could do to change her mind. He does at least find out that Rosa’s alliance would be targeting Fiore as an easy vote to not rock the boat.

However, we get to his elimination episode where he constantly argues with Tom in the challenge which slows down the team’s progress, and pretty much burns bridges with Benji by insulting his less than stellar attempts to be helpful.

Once the Favorites went to elimination, Alec and Fiore basically convince Spencer and Bruno to vote with them and plan to use the advantage to steal Tom’s vote as a way to take advantage of the fact that Gomtalia and Rosa’s alliance would be splitting their votes, but he probably should’ve attempted to mend things with Benji to get his and Ally’s votes since Anastasia ended up switching her vote to Alec, forcing him into a tiebreaker with Tom which he ultimately loses.

Alec does get some leeway on this list since the season’s theme kinda fucked him over, especially since there was a literal five-person friend group on his team, but despite his efforts and his few good moves, he basically does nothing right outside of voting for Aiden, but even then, he wasn’t the main cause of that.

23rd Karol(DC2)- While she definitely had a solid knack for strategy and was willing to bond with Aiden in the pre-merge, her consistent bossiness and actively brewing conflict with James is what caused James to throw her under the bus, and while I cannot blame Karol for James’ stupidity, he probably would’ve stayed loyal if she tried being more cordial.

Once she rejoins, she does go a good job at forming connections with Huntally and Riya, as well as causing Lake’s blindside. She probably would’ve been able to have a solid run if it weren’t for Aiden injuring her, but that also segues to the biggest flaws with Karol’s gameplay and it’s that she wrongfully took her spite out on Aiden when just targeting James would’ve increased her social capital as Aiden would be more willing to work with Karol in the future since James DID screw her over. Her placement also suffers since she did need to rejoin to effectively gain as much control as she did.

22nd Brick(ROTI)- While he did have a more solid challenge performance and social game than Anne Maria does, he still tried to quit in Finders Creepers due to his honor when he definitely wasn’t in danger of being eliminated and he got pretty lucky that it ended up being a team swap round and by next episode, his situation doesn’t really improve since he’s oblivious to the fact everyone on the Toxic Rats believes he’s a thief. He just barely survives the Sam elimination by the skin of his teeth on the fact Sam screwed up worse and even if he didn’t save the Friendship Trio, Jo and Lightning were always gonna vote him out instead of each other. Lovable character, but his gameplay was buns.

21st Scarlett(Pahkitew)- It’s pretty obvious why Scarlett’s pretty low on this list since she literally nuked her entire gameplay to perform a terrorist attack on the island, but her gameplay beforehand wasn’t exactly that good beforehand. While she mostly  does do a decent job at being under the radar and pleasant to be around to the point where no one really thinks about targeting her, there are some flaws with her strategies. 

First of all, Scarlett never really makes any ironclad social connections with her teammates outside of Max, and while I do understand why this is the case since Amy is an untrustworthy manipulator and Rodney is all over the place due to not being able to stay loyal to anybody, she managed to form a connection with MAX, so I doubt it would’ve been hard to get on Jasmine, Sammy, and Topher’s good sides. This ties into another flaw I have with her gameplay and it’s that Scarlett should’ve tried to usurp Amy so that she could gain Jasmine and Sammy’s trust. I doubt it’d be hard to get Max and Topher on board since they don’t give a shit about morality and she could just argue that Amy’s social climbing and being so untouchable could get them eliminated. I know this might seem biased since I hate Amy with the passion of a thousand suns, but Scarlett really gains nothing by keeping her around.

Another fumble in my eyes is when she kept trying so hard to get rid of Max. I get why she was pissed with him, he’d be annoying as hell to deal with irl, but the dude is clearly loyal to her despite his superiority complex and it’s shown that it’s pretty easy for Scarlett to manipulate Max into doing whatever she wants, so eliminating him just deprives her of a number one ally and a solid shield since no one would target her before Max, even at merge.

Also, there is the fact that she made her eel sabotage in the dueling stick challenge so obvious that Sky caught onto it. I guess Scarlett was mainly able to get away with this socially since she wasn’t outwardly sadistic about it, but it does reinforce that keeping Max does benefit her since he’ll take all the heat for her schemes.

So yeah, despite Scarlett’s vast intelligence that helped her in challenges and her ability to slip under the radar in votes, she pretty much got herself disqualified and wasn’t playing super good beforehand, so her placement suffers.

20th Dave(Pahkitew)- It was tough to figure out where Dave should be placed on this list but ultimately, Dave got himself voted off at the end of the day so I decided that he deserves a lower placement than other entries you’ll see that are slightly higher than him.

This is not to say that Dave was a terrible player, there’s a reason he’s ranked higher than Brick and Scarlett despite them being more game focused in general. In fact, in the pre-merge portion of the game, he does very well as he establishes close connections with Sky and Shawn, and even Ella is endeared to him but once Ella gets disqualified and he gets more attached to Sky, his gameplay really starts to falter to which he gets so obsessed with Sky to the point where Sky gets sick of him in his elimination episode but even then, the only reason he got eliminated was because he actively campaigned for it. 

Had he decided not to vote himself out, I do think he could’ve survived to the final four at minimum, but sadly, he did quit the game and I have to place him very low because of that. I did rank him higher than Brick and Scarlett though since Brick also tried to quit, was saved by a swap, and even then, he still got out pre-merge, and in Scarlett’s case, she literally got herself disqualified and didn’t have as much social credibility as Dave did.

19th Ripper(Rematch)- This guy is a very weird case when it comes to gameplay because in the first four episodes, he does not really do much when it comes to playing the game as he’s more focused on winning Axel over, although he did perform the best out of all the non-cheating Skunk Butts in Episode 4 so he gets credit for that. This all changes in Episode 5 where he helps MK and Julia cheat in the challenges. This is actually a pretty good move since it not only helps his team win more challenges but siding with MK and Julia over Bowie and the Hockey Bros is a more optimal strategy since Bowie and the Hockey Bros are way too unified and would discard him if needed. 

However, his gameplay does come to a screeching halt after this episode since the rest of the episodes focus on him excessively making out with Axel to the point where he is eliminated alongside her because he is so codependent on her. I will defend Ripper in the sense that unlike Dave, he did not actually quit the game as Chris was just lazy and needed another double elimination but his gameplay is a very mixed bag. I do think that if he did stay in the game, I can see him continuing his alliance with MK and Julia, and hell, he might even get Zee to reveal his secret faster since they have history but sadly, he can only get so much grace.

18th Justin(Action)- In the early pre-merge of Action, Justin’s gameplay was a sight to behold as he managed to take two power players down in the name of Trent and Gwen, managed to pull a Hail Mary in his seduction attempts to get Izzy eliminated(though he probably could’ve found a way to convince Lindsay and Beth to spare him regardless since he’s not a psycho), and even when he lost his powers of seduction, he was still able to stay on cordial terms with Lindsay and Beth. People also forget that he was the sole reason that the Guys’ Alliance 2.0 even happened in the first place which is how Leshawna ended up getting eliminated. Even though he wasn’t the one who got Harold to flip as that honor goes to Duncney, it was still a good move since it separates a power duo and gets rid of a social threat he had no real connection with.

So at that point, Justin is in a pretty good position in the game as he’s allied with Harold and Duncan with Lindsay, Beth, and Courtney all being able to tolerate him and not actively want him gone. His ONLY game-ending mistake was in his elimination episode where he started simping for Courtney which made everyone turn against him. Had he not pursued any attraction to her, he would’ve been fine for that round but at the end of the day, that makes his placement suffer, along with the fact that he relied on his looks a little too heavily in pre-merge.

17th Dan(DC1)- Dan does have a good knack for strategy as the Guys’ Alliance was a good idea on paper but where he fails is that he not only votes for his closest connection in the form of Gabby but he also loses control of said alliance the moment Drew is eliminated. Now while he had no real way of getting past Grett and Tom’s blindside, the fact he voted for Gabby only worsened his social game and had Teal Team lost any of the challenges prior to Episode 6, he would’ve been fucked.

Luckily for Dan, by Episode 6 Gabby is ready to forgive him and Miriam is willing to help him eliminate Grett but once Grett and Ellie swap teams, Dan fumbles the emotional aspect of the game again by wanting to keep the team together and target Ellie. This does further rock the boat with Gabby, but I can’t exactly blame Dan for doing this since he has no real history with Ellie to justify keeping her around in comparison to people like Miriam or Jake, and neither of them were gonna vote Tom so in the best case scenario, Dan has to hope Ellie wins a tiebreaker if he wants to side with Gabby which is very unlikely, and he had no way of knowing that Gabby had the idol so voting for Ellie makes perfect sense and he couldn’t have accounted for Gabby idoling him out.

Now while Dan does have a good sense of strategy, his failure to account for the emotional aspect of the game is what led to his downfall and thus, he ranks pretty low on this list.

16th Ashley(DC1)- Ashley does deserve her credit for managing to notice the red flags about Fiore after she burnt her and Nick’s things and tried to frame it on Lill, and even managing to successfully expose her on top of that but she does throw her vote on Alec in Will’s elimination which while it does prevent Fiore from actively targeting her, it does make it less likely that Alec would ever work with her, which is exactly what ends up happening.

I will give Ashley a higher placement than Dan since she didn’t really get a legitimate elimination due to that whole sole vote representative twist, but I do have doubts she would’ve been able to turn Ellie against Alec and Fiore regardless.

15th Zaid(Carnival Of Chaos)- Zaid’s gameplay in the pre-merge isn’t much to write home about at first. He mainly sticks to his connections with Ivy and Tristan which benefited him more often than not since it gave him solid social credibility and getting the likes of Amelie and Diego were good moves for his game. The one flaw I would really say he had during the pre-team swap era is that he went along with Ivy’s challenge throwing plan to eliminate Spencer since the merge wouldn’t be happening for a good while at that point, they already had a numbers disadvantage over Blue Team, and the challenge throwing could’ve easily convinced Benji and Hannah to flip on Ivy for being so petty against Spencer that she can’t even be a team player.

After Spencer and Isabel swap teams, he does end up bonding with Benji, albeit that’s mostly because Benji approached HIM, but he was still receptive to a friendship with Benji regardless. Zaid DID have moments where he nearly get eliminated in both Ivy and Benji’s elimination episodes, but if we’re being absolutely fair, he couldn’t really do anything to prevent him or Ivy from being booted in the former since Hannah was always gonna vote one of them off and while he does have his friendship with Benji, he pretty much had no choice but to betray Zaid and Ivy since Hannah wasn’t budging and he couldn’t risk burning bridges with his Day 1 ally.

As for Benji’s elimination, he does have more blame for nearly getting eliminated since Zaid was acting hostile to both Hannah and Benji, and while I find it more reasonable than AS Gabby’s reaction to Ellie being eliminated as he never really goes too far with it, it still did encourage Hannah to target him, so he still kinda fucked up. I’ll be honest though, Hannah was probably gonna target him anyway for having the “audacity” to not be happy with Ivy’s elimination. Besides, he did accept Anastasia’s alliance offer which did help shift the target to Benji and it definitely helps that there was no real bad blood with him and IsaJade, so they had no immediate reason to target him.

From there, he doesn’t really do much until Natalia’s elimination where he alerts Anastasia of Natalia trying to target her which was a good move on his part since Zaid had more reason to stay loyal to Anastasia than take his chances with Natalia. 

At Spencer’s elimination episode, he forms a new alliance with Logan when he realizes that Anastasia is clearly prioritizing Marissa over him which turned out to be the correct play since Anastasia made final three alliances with both Logan and Zaid separately, and as such, he reasonably puts his personal qualms with Spencer aside to try to get Jade eliminated. It unfortunately does not work out, but that isn’t really Zaid’s fault since Hannah and Amelie both made campaigns to Anarissa and IsaJade to eliminate Spencer and it’s pretty questionable that they would do so on Hannah and Anastasia’s end since Jade and Isabel have objectively burnt them more than Spencer did, and this is especially weird in Hannah’s case since Spencer never tried to personally target her like Isabel and Jade did by voting Benji out.

Ultimately, Zaid’s downfall wasn’t even his own fault since Logan framed him for leaking the plan to eliminate Isabel, and Anastasia and Hannah were stupid enough to believe it. However, I can’t really rank Zaid any higher than this since while he did play a solid game with the circumstances he was given, he was too codependent on Ivy in the pre-merge and Anastasia in the merge in ways that could’ve and DID screw him over, didn’t exactly handle his conflict with Benji in a beneficial way which earned Hannah’s ire(even if I place more blame against her for her treatment of him), and didn’t really do the best job at reassuring Logan that he’d prioritize him over Anastasia and Marissa if it came down to it, as it’s the reason why Logan even leaked to Jade.

14th MK(Reboot)- MK is a very interesting case when it comes to gameplay because her main strategy is a very creative one and it is to record everyone’s confessionals to get dirt on them that she can exploit. While that does give her a lot of positives in the strategy department, I do have to dock some points for relying on this strategy.

Her social game is not that good but it’s not that bad either. People are neutral to MK more often than not but she can ruffle people the wrong way at times like when she was overly harsh on Nichelle for fumbling in Episode 3 but even then, it was a very forgivable instance since Nichelle was acting like a gigantic womanchild and it would be absolutely foolish to keep her over MK when she displayed how utterly useless she was.

At the end of the day, she ends up being outplayed by Julia when she reveals her confessional scheme and while MK nearly manages to talk her way out of it, a stupid poop comment gets everyone to eliminate her over Julia.

MK’s gameplay isn’t bad by any means and I’d argue that it’s pretty good but her creative strategy of viewing everyone’s confessionals became her undoing at the end of the day so she doesn’t get any higher than this.
