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.

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.

My hopes and dreams right here. Credit where credit is due.

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
I would know
(no I wouldn't)

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!

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!

-www.ofesite.com is the site I used to determine the chinese horoscopes.

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.

Season 6 character types predictions

Something that is a complete mystery to many of us, is season 6 and what is to come. We know it's going to be a new island with new campers but what else? Nothing. Here's what I can predict. Stereotypes. So let's get too it.

1. The southern belle
2. the strong, silent type
3. the type B
4. the wannabe superhero
5. the ladies man
6.the bug collector
7. the outback survivor
8. the cheerleader
9. the cross dresser (not transvestite-much too grown up-think Bailey from suite life on deck)
10. the secret kung fo queen
11. the rough exterior
12. the kid at heart
13. the Shakespeare freak
14. the anime nerd

Classic stereotypes that I could see appearing in season 6 and many I would like to see. I still like the original cast though.

I love this picture. A lot. Whoever created this-major props! I love the story behind it as well. Total drama fans are such great artists. Well okay, a lot of them. Not me...I'll draw a horse and it'll end up looking like a turtle.

The Top ten best Total Drama characters to have as an ally

I know everyone has their favorites, but what about the best allies? People who can really play the game. So I'll put aside own qualms with some characters and explain why I think they're the best allies.
10. Sierra
My reasoning:
First off, the girl is freaking hilarious. Secondly, if it wasn't for her purple hair and obsession with Cody, we could be twins. Well of course I'd be the evil twin but that's a story for another time. Anyway she brings a lot more humor to the show with her obsession with Cody, but more importantly, her knowledge of the show. What many of the contestants didn't seem to grasp is, Sierra knows the show. Really well. If people would look past her dysfunctions they would see how valuable an ally she could be, not only with her knowledge but the girl is pretty athletic as well and she's crazy. Crazy means she's not easily frightened by things. She's totally a great ally to have, just make sure you make her think Cody's a part of the alliance too.

9. Dawn
My reasoning:
The girl is psychic! But let me point out exactly why that helps you; firstly, the snowball challenge. She could tell which ones were clean. She could tell what B was thinking, she could see people's auras, and more importantly she has no qualms telling them about it. Imagine if she used that for evil. She could completely throw people off their game. She's also good at judging characters and intentions, which is a sure way to know when people are about to betray the alliance.

8. Justin
My reasoning:
I have one single reasoning for this one. Eye candy. Distraction anybody?

7.Eva
My reasoning:
Despite my strong dislike of this character, she would be a strong ally to have. She's strong, athletic, and determined and not to mention she has a huge temper. Now you must be wondering, why the heck does a temper come into play? But you'll see is, combine massive strength, a raging temper, and a thirst for revenge and the other team may just end up with one less player. As long as you can focus her anger on the other team and keep her loyal, it'll be fine.

6. Izzy
My reasoning:
I have a similar reasoning to Sierra's yet completely different. Izzy is intelligent, she said so herself. Did you see Brainzilla? You just have to learn Izzy's quirks and personalities and learn to manipulate it at will. Not only that, but have you seen her fight Chef? He said so himself that fighting Izzy is between fighting 5-7 men at once. And not to mention she's sneaky. Sure she has a few personality deformities but like I said, learn to bring out her other sides. Use Explosivo when you need explosives! Use Brainzilla when you need an awesome game plan. They are all sides of Izzy, just learn to bring them out and try to keep Izzy's craziness contained.

5. Duncan
My reasoning:
The dude wrestled a crocodile, deals with Courtney, and despite having a rough exterior, he's pretty okay on the inside, which means if you gain his loyalty he'll help you. He's also cut-throat, athletic, smart, and a quick thinker. And he has a million dollars. That always helps.

4.Trent
My reasoning:
Trent's a really nice guy. Like, a REALLY nice guy. Did you hear the encouragement he offered Gwen in the awake-a-thon? You keep this guy around because he keeps spirits up and is good encouragement and he's also pretty athletic. He's also extremely loyal.

3.B
My reasoning:
The guy may not speak, but he's intelligent and a quick thinker. You definitely want him on your side just for that. He can get you out of sticky situations real quick.

2. Courtney
My reasoning:
Okay, okay, I know I said I'd leave behind all of my favorites to make this realistic but the reason why I like Courtney is because she IS a competitive and strong player. Girls cut throat and do you know what her stereotype the 'Type A' even means? Here, let me give you a definition:

"The theory describes a Type A individual as ambitious, rigidly organized, highly status conscious,, are truthful, impatient, take on more than they can handle, want other people to get to the point, proactive, and obsessed with time management. People with Type A personalities are often high-achieving "workaholics" who multi-task, push themselves with deadlines, and hate both delays and ambivalence."

Make sense now? Courtney will stop at nothing to win. Type A's are known for being extremely competitive and hostile and willing to do anything to achieve their goals, even at the risk of their own health. Can't take the science behind it? Okay how about an example. In season two, Courtney wrestled four sharks and came out the winner. She knocked Justin off of a platform in order to gain invincibility! Even though she loved Duncan, she had no problem damaging his ability to procreate. Several times throughout the first three seasons. She's also a great leader and has no problem fighting about what she thinks is wrong and right. The girl has some cut throat lawyers too and can help her allies write up fair contracts. Sounding like a good ally by now huh?

1. Chef
My reasoning:
As long as he stays behind the scenes, he's the best ally you could have. Why? take a look at the alliance between Dj and chef in season 2. If DJ had been a little more competitive and willing to play the game with no regrets, Chef is a great ally to have. For one, he can give you the good food that doesn't make you sick of gassy. And besides since he probably won't get it written in contract, if you manage to win you won't have to split the money with him because one he won't want to lose his job and two, other jobs will think he's untrustworthy and he'll be black listed, and three, he wouldn't win a lawsuit anyway.

People who you probably think should've been on this list but aren't:
Heather
Alejandro
Scott
Jo
my reasoning:
They'll stab you in the back without blinking. That's why.

Let's talk about relationships...

I've heard many say the age group of this show is mostly children-so am I the oldest person to watch this show? No, I don't think so. I think this show has the talent to draw the attention of many kinds of crowds, from older children (10-12) to teens like me (13-on) I may be fifteen but I enjoy this show as much, no more than when I first started watching it when it aired. I can enjoy the jokes and comedy of it a lot more now. Honestly I am a bit of a kid at heart but I am also a teenager who likes dirty jokes and stupid but hilarious comedy. And this show is gold. And I've met many a people who are around my age that love this show. So this brings me to my topic-relationships.

I recently viewed an interview with Tom Mcgillis, creator of this glorious show, that said that it was a network request to have Courtney and Duncan broken up because they were getting too serious. First off, I disagree. Secondly, the network can suck it. And thirdly, they really just made me hate Gwen more than I already did! And the reason why I disagree is because that relationship was so dysfunctional it still had a long way to go for it to be 'getting serious'. You wanna know of a certain relationship on the show that's gotten too serious? Bridgette and Geoff. Now don't get me wrong, I love that pairing but if you wanna bring up that this is a 'children' show and that the relationships are 'getting too serious' I'm fifteen and I still watch this show and from my perspective Courtney and Duncan had a long way to go make their relationship work. I'm still a big fan of their pairing of course. In fact, even though Duncan cheated, I still love him.

And now I bring up another factor. Most people love Duncan/Courtney pairing. Because they are so dysfunctional! But if you want to go on to how they work together, let me point out that Duncan and Gwen are alike. TOO ALIKE! Their relationship is nothing more than an infatuation. They work as friends, but they don't work as a couple. People who are too alike, especially people like Duncan and Gwen, who don't really  make up for each other's weaknesses are bound to not work out. However where Courtney and Duncan were, they're complete opposites. Seems unlikely they'll ever be together? WRONG! Have you ever heard of opposites attract? Not only that but if you've paid attention to their relationship you notice how they make each other better. Duncan gets Courtney to let loose and relax a little while Courtney helps keep Duncan in line. They may seem dysfunctional but once Duncan stands up to Courtney and the two talk, Courtney could probably let up on trying to fix everything about Courtney and Duncan could stop being such a dick. They both have their flaws but where one lacks, the other strengthens them in their weak points. I really wish they hadn't broken up and I really hope they get back together. If not, I might get very VERY upset. And depending on how it goes, I could stop watching the show. I love the show without Courtney and Duncan, but their relationship is definitely my favorite part of the show and I could get so disappointed I may just stop watching. Seriously. Not forever, but quite a while.

Now that I've finished ranting on Courtney and Duncan's relationship, how about another couple I like? Alejandro and Heather. Now I know that I'm contradicting myself with the opposites attract thing and being too alike but Heather and Alejandro are alike but not so much that their relationship could never work. First off, they have different ways of manipulating people. Whilst everyone knows Heather is a total bitch, Alejandro is constantly pretending to be some nice guy. Whilst Heather plays the game rigorously, Alejandro, though a formidable challenger, can sometimes have trouble when he doesn't have people to manipulate to work for him. They have different ways of working, not to mention other differences. Alejandro is a romantic. Heather is not. Heather has a bad temper. Alejandro keeps a cool head. So if you compare them without looking at those things, you see they are really alike but when you take a closer look there are enough differences that it does work. I really do like them together. I mean it's certainly not the best matched couple but they do make me smile. And the way Heather tries to deny her feelings for him is cute. And seriously only Alejandro can handle Heather and only Heather could handle Alejandro.

Name's Sierra everyone!

Just kidding. My name's not really Sierra. But this blog actually is about Total Drama. I'll talk all about the Total drama series, I'll post any theories, spoilers, fan art, and anything else that has to do with Total Drama on here. Firstly, my name is Whitney. I'm fifteen and I've loved Total drama from the beginning of the show. I may have not seen the show seventeen times like Sierra but I've seen the first three seasons about five times each and the fourth a couple. I know everything there is to know about the Total drama series. Name of Courtney's band? The Type A psychotic crazies. What is Izzy's IQ? 188, as she claims. Who's the creator of the show? Tom Mcgillis. Total Drama is my world. Now is anyone else as excited as me for the fifth season? I'm truly glad they're bringing back the original characters because I did not like the fourth season as much as the first three.

So a few things about me to get to know each other;

Name: Whitney, as I mentioned earlier

Age: 15, also mentioned earlier.

Favorite color: Silver. I LIKE SHINY!!!

Favorite TD character: Courtney

Least favorite TD character: Gwen

Favorite couple: B/G and C/D Can you tell why I hate Gwen? Nah I hated her even before that. She's stupid.

Favorite season: Weirdly enough, I enjoyed the second and third seasons the most, while I've heard from most people they enjoyed the first and fourth the most. Though the first season can never be replaced and is definitely amazing, I could do without the fourth season.

Favorite food: Sushi and cheese cake. Not together though. That's gross.

Favorite drink: Pepsi. DRINK OF THE GODS! Seriously it's like my coffee.

My stereotype: The southern belle or the brutally honest chick

Favorite challenge: The princess bride challenge. Haha that was hilarious!
