Hey everyone! Phew, it's been a while! Honestly, I've just been fangirling over well...everything. I am not the kind of person who can keep up with a blog, but I will try my best! Anywho, I thought i'd start us off with something I think we all know;
Total drama is on hold. ON HOLD! Okay, actually, I don't really mind this. Why? Because the last three seasons of total drama haven't exactly been my favorite. I long for the days of season 1-3, with twenty-six episodes, the original cast, and all the drama. I just don't connect with the new cast members like I do with the original ones. The drama on Total drama just isn't the same anymore on seasons 4-6. They're just so...ugh, what's the word? Oh, boring! The villains, the issues, they just aren't as fun. No one can be as bad as Heather, she will always be the best villain. Izzy will always be the greatest crazy. (though I do love Dawn) Part of the reason people love tv shows, books, movies, etc., is because of the characters. You grow to love characters as you watch them grow, change, and face new experiences. I just miss the original characters.
I think Total drama should do a couple of things to become what it once was. Here are my personal ideas;
1. Go back to twenty-six episodes. Everything just feels so rushed with only twelve. Their is so much more time for story and again, DRAMA, with twenty-six episodes.
2. Bring back the original characters! This one was pretty obvious, if my rant above wasn't any indication. I don't even care if you all add in some of the newer characters, as long as you don't pull that shit you did in All-stars.
3. You don't have to stay on the island! I love the first season of total drama, it was amaze-balls! But the island is getting boring, even if it's a different island. I know season 2 wasn't their most popular season, but you have to give creativity points.
4. Stop with the different ways to send people home! GAH, this has been so annoying to me! With different locations, I understood, but if you stay on the island, then just send them on the boat of shame! Also, just go with the usual cabins too.
5. Follow thru on plotlines. That Courtney and Gwen friendship thing in All-stars was a joke. To be quite honest, I didn't like the idea of it in the first place, I wanted Courtney to pummel Gwen. But, you could've at least followed thru on the storyline Courtney is pretty despicable, but I don't think she's THAT despicable.
I know this may seem harsh, but I love Total drama, which is why I am so critical. Do you think I'd have a blog dedicated to total drama if I didn't? No, I wouldn't.
*sighs*
Okay, so that rant is done. On with other matters like... (drum roll please!)
The Ridonculous race!
I am both excited and a bit afraid. I know that the show could be great, just as great as Total drama, but you have to go into that with the same notion that it isn't total drama. It's a completely different series. Pull from it's predecessor, yes, but don't just make a copy.
I'm going to post a bit more on the ridonculous race later in it's own blog post. But just know that we may be seeing some familiar faces from Total drama on their, and I am ecstactic.
Anyway, thanks for reading!

Ten Reasons
Hello my lovely little sugar covered cupcake tarantulas! Want to know what really irritates me? When people call cast members overrated. It's just the fact that each character is a stereotype-an form of overration (is that a word?) and that each character could be technically called overrated because of that fact. This is especially true for my long time favorite Courtney.
It burns my coconuts when I see someone calling Courtney overrated. You don't like her? Fine, that's your opinion. You can choose to like whoever you do or don't want too. But it makes you look like an idiot to call her overrated when each character is! It's how it was meant to be! Yes Courtney is overrated but so is every character because of each stereotype. People call Eva there favorite I could just as easily say Eva is overrated. They'd probably respond with 'well she's not a popular character.' Well that doesn't really matter because Eva's concept comes for a stereotype. Do you know how many times I go and read stories about female bullies picking on the innocent? Do you know that no matter whether or not people like the character, they are still used because people like the concept of it? Therefore, she's overrated.
Your argument is invalid.
There are a lot of reasons why Courtney is my favorite. A lot! And I know that she is pretty popular in the fan base whether they love Courtney or they love to hate on her. But has anyone ever wondered that maybe there is an actual reason that so many people like her? I know crazy right because usually when 90% of the fan base love a character, they've got no reason other than she's overrated. How does that even make sense?!? It doesn't. But I know that some of you will remain stubborn and not see it how it really is. Just a reminder though-just because you think that stop sign is blue, it's still red. Just because you think there's no reason to like Courtney, doesn't mean there isn't. And here are ten reasons why the fan base loves her so much.
1. She's an Anti-hero.
Ah...Anti-heroes. As a writer myself, I love to write about them. Giving characters a dark side, making them so flawed but yet still good in a sense, it's just invigorating. Who in their right mind likes a goody-goody? Which brings me to my next reason.
2. Courtney is a faux goody-goody.
Courtney pretends she does no wrong. Also, she likes rules. However Courtney has no problem breaking those rules and those standards of being a goody-goody when it suits her. I love paradox's and maybe it's annoying to some, but I find it amusing.
3. Her main love interest is the anti-villain.
Ever wondered why I love Duncan and Courtney so much? Because they are so alike and yet so different. Courtney is an anti-hero, a person with an overall good or not necessarily bad goal in mind but uses underhanded means to get it. Duncan is an anti-villain, a character with an evil intention or bad goal in mind but generally has a sense or morals. They make up for each others weaknesses while having the most interesting and entertaining relationship. Who else has seen an anti-hero and anti-villain date?
Rule: Some of you are going to argue that Courtney and Duncan have the same goal in mind which makes them both either an anti-villain or anti-hero. But here is how this is different. While the goal remains neutral in itself depending on how they use the money (which there's not really much clarification on) their ways of going after it are different. Courtney considers herself a hero despite her loathing of the teamwork and friendship. She uses any means possible to achieve her ends. Duncan not only considers himself a villain but loves being one. Yet he has morals and actually does good things. That is how they are respectfully an anti-hero and anti-villain.
4. Courtney is a total bad-ass.
Can you honestly say that whenever you watch a movie or read a book or play a video game or whatever it is that you don't like a character that is totally BA? Is you say you haven't, you are a total liar. Whether you consider this person good or bad, you always end up loving a character who can kick some butt. Just admit it. Courtney has been shown on multiple occasions to be a total bad-ass. Want some evidence? Watch last episode of first season, any episode Courtney is in in the second season, throughout the third season and fifth season. Courtney will show several instances where she is totally kick-ass whether by brains, martial arts, or leadership.
5. Determination
This is something Courtney exceeds in. I think more than Courtney's kung fo, leadership skills, or brains, it's Courtney's determination that makes her so likable. I think it's something we all admire in a person to any extent. While many people hate characters who have such a powerful strength, Courtney's other weaknesses tone it down.
6. She is not a mary-sue.
You obviously have no idea what a Mary-sue is, if you think Courtney is one. No matter what kind you think she may be (and trust me there are plenty different kinds of Mary-sues) Courtney doesn't fit the criteria because she's flawed, people still hate her for it, and she still has people who like her. She's not superhuman (though fighting three sharks is a little over the top remember this is a cartoon) she's definitely not perfect and she does a lot of shitty things. Courtney could be a mary-sue if there was one thing about her different but she has a perfect balance too me and that is what makes me like her.
7. She is underrated.
This is a total hypocrite moment on my part and I know that but just listen. I mean this is a way of nobody on the show likes Courtney. Honestly, if I knew a Courtney in real life I'd probably hate her. That makes her underrated while in the show which makes her popular with fans. And that's really all there is too it.
8. She's human.
I think we can all admit that Courtney is pretty freaking tough. But she's also human. She cries over breakups, she's selfish, and she makes mistakes. Someone we can relate too and a relatable character is always a favorable character.
9. She is a victim of circumstances and her own hypocrisy
If I went and told you right now that Courtney was only bad because of all of the bad things she had to deal with on the show, I'd be a total liar. Because Courtney gets herself into a lot of trouble without being a victim of circumstances. Can we blame some of it on circumstances? Yes. Is some of it Courtney's own fault? Also yes. We can both sympathize and laugh at her.
10. She's a winner.
And who doesn't love a winner?
Cameron realizes I'm right and thinks you all should too.
It burns my coconuts when I see someone calling Courtney overrated. You don't like her? Fine, that's your opinion. You can choose to like whoever you do or don't want too. But it makes you look like an idiot to call her overrated when each character is! It's how it was meant to be! Yes Courtney is overrated but so is every character because of each stereotype.

All-stars, All-stars, we all love all-stars!
I just started (and finished) watching the first five episodes of Total Drama all-stars. I know, you're all probably wondering why I just started watching them now. Well, I hate waiting for new episodes! Especially when there are only one or two episodes to re-watch. But I'm really loving the new season. I love the Courtney-Scott angle and the Courtney-Gwen angle. Though I seriously would gag myself with a spoon if Courtney did not end up with Duncan, I think Scott is good for making Duncan jealous. I mean, Gwen has already broken up with him because he focuses too much on Courtney. Is that a hint or is that a hint?
A good love triangle is always interesting as well. Does anyone else think that despite Scott's tough outer attitude, he's a total sub at heart? If you don't know what that means you are too young to be reading this blog, sorry.
But anyway, I am also liking other aspects as well. The 'Malevolent' one being one of my other favorites. My total drama crush had always been Duncan or Alejandro but I'm kinda digging the Malevolent one. Shh...don't tell the others. Zoey annoys me as much as before-since when did she get athletic? Sierra is still awesome and it's hilarious to watch her downward spiral without her Cody-kins. Cameron being a villain is going to be so interesting too-he'll definitely be eaten alive. He thinks bears are scary? Maybe he should spend a night in the same vicinity as Courtney, Heather, Alejandro, and Scott. Then he'll know scary. I mean Courtney's wrestled sharks, Alejandro can walk on his hands for like ever and manipulate all girls besides maybe Heather, Heather's just plain nasty, and Scott well, Scott's just...Scott. Overall they are all kinda evil and poor Cameron does not stand a chance. He'll probably try to play nice or cure everyone of their wicked way-it won't work. Besides convincing Courtney she's evil would be a challenge all of itself-she's always right don't you know that?
My favorite episode in the season so far was actually the fifth episode-a lot happened in that episode and there was more drama than in the past ones-which were still good but focused more on challenges that the actual humorous relationships these teens form. I'm kinda sad my prediction on the old members teaming up on the new members hasn't happened, I would've really liked to see that. But I am still holding to the fact that this is Courtney's season. IT IS! And if Duncan wants to get off his ass and apologize, than maybe he can get another million under his belt too. As long as Courtney decides where he gets to spend it of course.

LOOK! It's a narcissist!
No offense to narcissists anywhere but well...Scott is annoying. And I hate him. Which brings me to my next post; The most annoying characters on this show...EVER! Okay so instead of separating this into each individual character and why I hate them, I thought I'd separate it into groups of why they're annoying. Note: I find some characters on this show to be annoying but they may actually be characters I like. Most...not though. Okay so here we go;
1. The characters who get far but have absolutely no talents!
Namely, Zoey, Gwen, Cody, and Cameron. This annoys the shit out of me for several reasons; one, I'm a Capricorn. (yes that has something to do with it) Two, many of you might object to this stating how Gwen doesn't deserve to be on this one, but here's the fact of it. The Girl can't do anything! She's not athletic, I'd says she has average intelligence, and the only reason people like her is because she's the bitchy but likable goth that somehow earns everyone's respect because of her retaliation against Heather for picking on her all season one. While it's good she doesn't let Heather step all over her, she could be classier about it. Next, I think it's pretty obvious why Zoey, Cody, and Cameron are on this post although I was a little conflicted about putting Cameron on this one because he's smart, but overall his naivety over the real world overrides that intelligence.
2. Villains who aren't likable.
Okay, you're probably looking at your computer screen with an utterly confused expression on your face by now. You probably want to hold me by the shoulders and shake me violently yell 'villains aren't supposed to be likable!' but I pretty much always love the villains in stories, especially when they're witty or evil or narcissistic. I liked Heather and Alejandro and Courtney and maybe even Justin a little but I hated Scott, Jo, and Lightning. yes, these characters are all from Total Drama ROTI but we all know by now I hated that season and I hate these characters-especially the villains. They just...i hate them. And that's all there is too it. They're just so damn annoying and it drives me crazy because they aren't even as smart like Heather or charming like Alejandro and Justin or driven like Courtney. Okay, maybe they are, but not such much in a way that overcomes their very obvious faults. As a true Courtney fan, I can honestly say that girl was extremely flawed but her drive and ambition to win overshadowed all of that. The season four villains didn't have that.
And that's all there is too it.
3. Characters who really have no point.
I'm talking about Katie, Sadie, Sam, and sadly Izzy.
I had a hard time putting Izzy on this one because I love her so much.
But it's true.
And I hate it.
These characters don't have a real point. Katie and Sadie really just...didn't have a point at all. Sam...he was just there to be a love interest for Dakota monster. And Izzy...Izzy sort of had a point but not really because she was too crazy to understand it. She was erratic and really more of comic relief then an actual competitor.
It really does kill me to say these things about Izzy because she's right up there with Courtney as one of my favorites.
(sigh...)
4. Courtney
Yes, Courtney gets her own group because there's really no other category to put her into. The girl can talk. And she thinks she's perfect. Which annoys me. And I love her but I think she's annoying sometimes. Just sometimes though.
5. The narcissists
Remember how I said I love narcissistic villains? Well I do, but I also find them annoying sometimes too. Mainly Chris and Dakota. I love those guys, but I hate them too. Damn narcissists...
6. Owen
This is also difficult, because I do like Owen but I do find him annoying. I'd actually originally planned to put Owen with the contestants who get far but can't do anything but that's not true. Owen has shown to be able to compete. Unexpected and most of the time unintentional but he can compete. The volleyball game namely would be one of his finer moments even though he did lose. He's shown to be a capable competitor once he puts his mind too fighting but his farting, his excessive eating and his laziness for the most part annoy me.
And that's the end of this hater post...for now. Maybe I'll do another part later because I have a lot of hate.
Don't know if this counts as fan art but I thought it was funny...
And true
Very true

New news!
http://youtu.be/9Y1kq7KbH6c
Okay so not the best quality but let me tell you, it was impossible to find this anywhere with good quality. This video was uploaded by Totaldrama Allstars who may or may not be an official channel for Total drama series but I'm leaning not official. Still, it was awesome that this person uploaded this.
Now as I mentioned in my last post, we pretty much know exactly who is appearing in the first thirteen episode part of the season, however there is another reason why I put this on here;
It just proves how close we are getting too this season airing. I saw it on Cartoon Network, and I literally jumped up and down in excitement. It's getting closer and closer to the air date and I think everyone's getting a little giddy. Or is that just me?
So anyway, I know it's been a long time since I've posted but you'd be surprised how much of a life I have outside of Total Drama! Okay...so it mostly contains writing fiction novels online and laughing my ass off at Anime's like Baka and Test or Fruits basket but it's still a life outside of Total Drama nonetheless! Now I promised you all my theories on how the season would go and I'm going to follow through.
Alright first prediction;
Courtney is going to be the antagonist this season, but in a very Courtney-ish way. Her main focus this entire season as I predict, is going to be getting revenge on Duncan and Gwen. And it's going to be freaking hilarious. And as her entire motive is take down Gwen and Duncan, she's also going to take a few other people down in the process as well. I don't know if I've stated this before, but this is Courtney's season. She's out for blood and knowing Courtney, she's damn well gonna get it. And at first, I thought Courtney might go and win this entire thing, but I'm starting to feel a little conflicted about that. I theorize that even if Courtney did get kicked off, she'd still be in the season, causing trouble whether by Chris invited her back or if she came back on her own. Although I still strongly believe Courtney will win this thing or at least get far in the game.
Second prediction;
The original cast will annihilate the season four cast. Seriously. First of all, the original cast has dealt with Chris' sadistic ways much longer and they know how to play the game. Secondly, although every member of the original cast probably hates each other at least a little bit, they also have competed together a lot longer as well. I believe most of them, if not all of them, will gang up on the newer cast members with the intent of getting rid of them first. Do I think it will work? Probably not. Will it be interesting to watch? Hell yeah!
Third prediction;
If Courtney gets into the final two, either Duncan or Gwen will as well. Like I said, I believe this is Courtney's season. And if one of them doesn't get into the top two, Courtney will dominate anyone else who does. It will be an easy win for her. Honestly, at this point, I don't even think Alejandro or Heather could stand in Courtney's way now. She's pissed. And knowing Courtney, that's extremely dangerous.
Fourth prediction;
Chris will torture the competitors even more than ever before. I'd say that Chris is pretty pissed off too. They took his island, interrupted his show and since he can't take it out on the government, he's gonna take it out on the poor but probably deserving contestants. And it's gonna be awesome.
Those are all the predictions for now, but I'll give you guys some more later. Again, no fan art this time but next time...maybe. I haven't decided...
Toodles!

Now as I mentioned in my last post, we pretty much know exactly who is appearing in the first thirteen episode part of the season, however there is another reason why I put this on here;
It just proves how close we are getting too this season airing. I saw it on Cartoon Network, and I literally jumped up and down in excitement. It's getting closer and closer to the air date and I think everyone's getting a little giddy. Or is that just me?
So anyway, I know it's been a long time since I've posted but you'd be surprised how much of a life I have outside of Total Drama! Okay...so it mostly contains writing fiction novels online and laughing my ass off at Anime's like Baka and Test or Fruits basket but it's still a life outside of Total Drama nonetheless! Now I promised you all my theories on how the season would go and I'm going to follow through.
Alright first prediction;
Courtney is going to be the antagonist this season, but in a very Courtney-ish way. Her main focus this entire season as I predict, is going to be getting revenge on Duncan and Gwen. And it's going to be freaking hilarious. And as her entire motive is take down Gwen and Duncan, she's also going to take a few other people down in the process as well. I don't know if I've stated this before, but this is Courtney's season. She's out for blood and knowing Courtney, she's damn well gonna get it. And at first, I thought Courtney might go and win this entire thing, but I'm starting to feel a little conflicted about that. I theorize that even if Courtney did get kicked off, she'd still be in the season, causing trouble whether by Chris invited her back or if she came back on her own. Although I still strongly believe Courtney will win this thing or at least get far in the game.
Second prediction;
The original cast will annihilate the season four cast. Seriously. First of all, the original cast has dealt with Chris' sadistic ways much longer and they know how to play the game. Secondly, although every member of the original cast probably hates each other at least a little bit, they also have competed together a lot longer as well. I believe most of them, if not all of them, will gang up on the newer cast members with the intent of getting rid of them first. Do I think it will work? Probably not. Will it be interesting to watch? Hell yeah!
Third prediction;
If Courtney gets into the final two, either Duncan or Gwen will as well. Like I said, I believe this is Courtney's season. And if one of them doesn't get into the top two, Courtney will dominate anyone else who does. It will be an easy win for her. Honestly, at this point, I don't even think Alejandro or Heather could stand in Courtney's way now. She's pissed. And knowing Courtney, that's extremely dangerous.
Fourth prediction;
Chris will torture the competitors even more than ever before. I'd say that Chris is pretty pissed off too. They took his island, interrupted his show and since he can't take it out on the government, he's gonna take it out on the poor but probably deserving contestants. And it's gonna be awesome.
Those are all the predictions for now, but I'll give you guys some more later. Again, no fan art this time but next time...maybe. I haven't decided...
Toodles!

Okay so how about some All-star updates??
Okay okay, I give in. Let's talk about Total Drama All-stars. Firstly, facts. Secondly, hints. Thirdly, theories. Here is the line-up.
Contestants:
Alejandro
Cameron
Courtney
Duncan
Gwen
Heather
Jo
Lightning
Lindsay
Mike
Sam
Sierra
Zoey
It's been confirmed that the series will have 26 episodes, the first thirteen being focused on these characters, the next thirteen will be focused on a whole new set of characters.
Teletoon premiere: January 2014
Cartoon network: September 2013
It's been stated that the fifth season would be very similar to the first and fifth. The teams are the heroic hamsters and villainous vultures.
Alejandro will have a new voice actor; Alex house
This season will showcase the shows one-hundredth episode.
It's never been confirmed, but many believe that Scott will return this season as well.
Now there have been lots of hints that Courtney and Duncan will get back together. There are also hints made that Gwen will be kicked off early as will Zoey. Now you all think I'd be happy about Gwen getting kicked off early right? Wrong! I want her on that island so that Courtney can pummel her deep into the ground!!! I want those two to make it to the final three with Duncan so that it can be one awesome show-down. But I know that's never going to happen so at least I won't have to deal with Gwen during the series.
Another thing, because the All-stars part of the series is only thirteen episodes long, I'm doubting there is going to be an aftermath show, which I actually am kind of sad about. It kept you up to date on things while keeping the shows humor. But oh well, it's not the greatest loss in the world.
Now I think I'm going to cut this short and come back with my theories on how the season will go next time. Also, no fan-art today but here's something else; for those of you who don't know, Christian Potenza, voice if Chris, has a youtube channel where he talks about the all-stars season and even reveals some of his lines. He also has an interview with Tom Mcgillis-the shows creator and it's pretty interesting and gives a lot of hints and theories about what might happen in the show.

Is Duncan a rat? Or is he a monkey?
I've always wondered... No, seriously. This post is all about what I would name the original campers Chinese horoscopes as and why. Some will be obvious, some not as obvious. Well here we go then...
((In order of how they arrived on the dock))
Beth: Pig
Okay I'm not being mean here, this fits Beth pretty well. Just look at the characteristics
-sincere, diligent, genuine, obliging, generous, and friendly.
-gullible, naive, lazy, and superficial
Do you understand now? Even some of the negatives are wrong. You especially see these traits in the second season though more often then in the first.
DJ: Sheep
I think you can understand this one pretty easily but I'll give you the traits anyway.
-intelligent, artistic, gentle, kind, cultured, sensitive
-Fussy, insecure, and dependent
Gwen: Bitch
and not just because I don't like her, Gwen is actually a dog. And here's why;
-devoted, resilient, unselfish, honest, resourceful, and reliable
-nosy, cynical, cantankerous, pessimistic, anxious, and introverted
Geoff: Dragon
For those who don't know alot about Chinese horoscopes, this may seem unlikely. But the dragon isn't quite what you might expect.
-resourceful, self-assured, adaptable, original, valiant, enthusiastic
-hot headed, unpredictable, critical, irritable, discourteous
((okay so he's not so much like the negatives, but you can see how he's like the positive aspects))
Lindsay: Rooster
This one is not as clearly shown as the others because of Lindsay's err...intelligently challenged brain which makes her a bit hard to categorize but here it is.
-passionate, resilient, patriotic, industrious, courageous, and protective
-conceited, blunt, rude, bossy, aggressive, and impatient
Not really easy to see right? I'll go into more detail on this one. First off, there is a resilience too Lindsey that though subtle, is there. She dealt with Heather and usually did a good job of taking her bullying. In the second season we meet her more bossy and aggressive side when she takes charge of her team. Thirdly, though probably not meaning to be rude, Lindsay was very blunt with Courtney by telling her that she would've got voted off later anyway because no one really liked her. Whether stupidity or just honesty, that was pretty blunt and a little rude.
Heather: Monkey
This was actually a hard one, not because there weren't any Heather wasn't like, but because there were a lot she was like. But in the end, Heather is a monkey. Here are the traits;
-persuasive, resourceful, good-humored, ingenious, versatile, imaginative
-superficial, restless, impudent, sly, mischievous, and untruthful
Duncan: Snake
This was another hard one because there were some that were like him but others that were as well but didn't have the trait I wanted. Snake does but I'll have to explain this one.
-insightful, shrewd, discreet, wise, compassionate, and subtle
-proud, manipulative, malicious, possessive, vain, and sluggish
Not only is Duncan proud, manipulative, vain, and a little malicious from time to time, but being a snake also includes compassion; which Duncan tries desperately to hide, hence the discreet and subtle.
Tyler: Ox
-honest, loyal, popular, sincere, steadfast, and reliable
-stubborn, impatient, inflexible, narrow-minded, and sulky
Get it?
Harold: Dog
-Devoted, resilient, unselfish, honest, resourceful, reliable
-nosy, cynical, anxious
Since this one has already shown up, I though I'd only add the ones he really had. Firstly, Harold has got to be the most devoted guy on the show the way he follows Leshawna around like a puppy dog, pun intended. Next he's resilient with his efforts, he's unselfish, in the third season he was willing to give up his chances at the money so Leshawna would think of him as 'knightly' or something along those lines. He's pretty honest like he was when he first met her, he can be resourceful and at times reliable as well though he also tends to be nosy, cynical and anxious, especially in the first season.
Trent: Pig
Also done before, refer to Beth's horoscope to see the characteristics. Not only is Trent friendly, diligent, and sincere, he's also a genuinely nice guy all around however because of this he is also naive and gullible. He can also be materialistic as well, especially in the second season.
Bridgette: Pig
Also a pig. Bridgette is similar to the female version of Trent, just add in lazy (though I'd call it more relaxed then anything) it's easy to tell why Bridgette has the traits of the pig though.
Noah: Rabbit
This one was almost a no-brainer. The traits are;
-Astute, thoughtful, refined, docile, and wise (more like intelligent I'd say)
-cunning, snobbish, possessive, fussy, and obsessive
Though not a perfect match, Noah definitely exhibits these traits for obvious reasons.
Leshawna: Horse
The traits;
-friendly, vivacious, enduring, witty, cheerful, refined, and independent.
-selfish, reckless, vain, impatient, and volatile
I think this one is pretty obvious as to why minus the refined and vain.
Katie and Sadie: Horse
Just add the vain part and pull out the witty, refined, and independent.
Ezekiel: Due to his weirdness and and my unsure-ness of his full personality, I can't match him with a Chinese horoscope. Plus the guys just creepy.
Cody: Sheep
Refer to DJ's for traits
Eva: Dragon
Refer to Geoff and take out the enthusiastic adaptable and original traits and emphasize the negative traits.
Owen: Pig
Refer to Bridgette, Trent, Or Beth. This is for obvious reasons in the characteristics.
Courtney: Tiger
This one was a no-brainer as well and here's why;
-enthusiastic, optimistic, courageous, bold, sociable, and energetic
-volatile, impulsive, hot-headed, restless, disobedient, vain, and stubborn
The only trait people might have an argument to disagree on would probably be impulsive, considering how far ahead Courtney plans but let's not forget that when Courtney's short fuse goes off, she does some pretty impulsive things, though she'd probably say it was improvising.
Justin: Rat
-charismatic, sociable, intelligent, affable, quick-witted, and popular
-exploitative, calculative, secretive, greedy, acquisitive, and devious
though not exactly intelligent or quick-witted, he exhibits the other traits pretty clearly.
Izzy: Nope...I've got nothing...she doesn't really fit any of them well enough to put her in that grouping.
So some fit into alot of the same groups though are vastly different. Here's the reason, these aren't perfect. It's simply the ones who exhibit the most traits. Your Chinese horoscope isn't necessarily completely how you are correct? Neither will these be however I do want to add in three more characters...
Alejandro: Rat
Add in intelligent and quick-witted and refer to Justin for the other traits.
Chris: horse
though definitely not friendly and seriously not refined, he remains similar to the horse horoscope. Refer to Katie and Sadie and Leshawna to see the other traits.
Chef hatchet: Dragon
solely based on the negative traits and the valiant and self-assured traits. Refer to Eva and Geoff for the other traits.
Okay what did you think? I know this was a pretty lame post and I'll admit, I've been avoiding posting any spoilers or predictions I have for the All-stars season but next post will definitely have it!

Fan art:
Due to the fact that I get these images off the internet, I can never know who the true artist is. But if you know who the true artist is, please let me know so I can give them credit. I think this is a really cool style and whoever created this is truly talented.
