- TDI finally got a reboot after all these years, but the question remains: Is it a winner worth a million dollars; or does it deserve to be taken away by the Drone of Shame?

Dave/Skye crawled so Emma/Chase could walk
SO TRUE
Zee is the best character in the franchise unironically. Also you never mentioned him saving the villains of the season, Bowie and Julia, from dying in a honey pit when he could’ve won immunity and then come back for them. The best Chad ever
Zee is such a good character
That made me rage quit so much.
he's probabaly the most likable. Every past fan favorite has some sort of flaw that makes someone out there dislike them, but Zee is just too awesome
@@All-ze9cl That's true. He's so chill and honestly I think he got eliminated unfairly.
i lowkey wanted him to win. Priyas win is way too obvious@@Maw0
I just wrote Chef's change of personality off as being him mellowing as he gets older
The network required them to make 13 episodes, that's why it isn't 26 episodes. Plus, two split halves of the reboot gives us four potential winners with spotlight, meaning we'll get a nice variety of characters who went far instead of the reboot being "the Priya Show".
And then the second half was the Priya show again lol, but with even more Priya
@@THECyberStriker we lost so hard... S2 sucked.
I never actually thought of Noah saying that line during his and Owen’s elimination in Ridonculous Race meaning anything because apparently they do a lot of reality TV shows however it would have been such a cool way to tease a new season where they bring back a few old characters, that would have been a dream. The thing that strikes me as odd is that why would they cut out Noah saying the reality TV show if it is just a random throwaway line and not a spoiler for an upcoming season? I really hope we do get that dream season one day because so far we have Noah and Owen confirmed for it and that is enough to tell me it would be good.
Haven't seen the full video yet, but I think it would be cool if we saw some of the older contestants mentoring some of the newer ones. I'd love to see Julia and Heather interact personally, and Zee and Owen would be besties.
Cool video but I think that Millie and Priya were a lot more interesting than it sounds like. Millie is shown at the start to not be committed to her alliance despite being friends with Priya which subsequently allows Priya to develop a bit of resentment against Millie. It’s built upon throughout the season until eventually Millie comes around which is when Bowie shows Priya her notebook which causes it all come tumbling down in a really satisfying way. Also Priya is shown to be a little different from sky and Zoe’s when she goes off on Chase early on and then her rivalry with ripper and then inner conflicts with how she feels about Millie not putting in enough effort.
I also like that the plotline of Priya carrying Millie to the finals was intentionally done, too. Yeah, you can be annoyed by Millie nearly making it to the end, but that's definitely how the writers wanted you to feel about it.
Overall, love this season, even though the one episode in it is BAD.
Can’t lie, I love Ripper and I think it was completely on accident.
I started watching the season with my friends on Discord and as soon as Ripper showed up I immediately said that “Yup, that’s my favorite character now.” as a joke, but then as the season went on I started to realize that “Oh shit, he IS my favorite character..”
I started drawing Ripper and hanging pictures of him on my wall, and whenever someone would ask me about who that guy on my wall is I’d usually say, “Don’t worry about it” or “It’s just some art thing”.
I think I convinced myself that Ripper was the greatest thing ever created, someone help me.
Therapy and or death penalty
Send him to the infirmary
Same man. Ripper is peak of fiction
Your take on Chase and Emma is exceptionally based. I'm glad you understand that they're comedic and supposed to be toxic and terrible. Although, Chase did have one iconic thing outside of Emma: the Trout trio. Aka his friendship with Ripper and Zee. Zee really helps make Ripper and Chase much more amusing and likable than normal.
Nah ripper was already likable. Chase however i agree with
I totally agree about Raj needing to speak out a little more. We have no context on why he's never come out before or if Bowie is his first ever male crush. It's not clear if he's understanding his sexuality throughout the show or if he already knew about it beforehand and just never acknowledged it to Wayne. It was definitely a missed opportunity to develop him a little bit more but it was an enjoyable watch nonetheless.
All they had to do was just have Wayne eliminated...so much missed opportunities.
It is clear though. Raj specifically has confessionals that have him grapple with his sexuality and Wayne's excited for him that Raj is actually gay.
Here’s how you fix episode 5 (The farting challenge)
1: Have the challenge be based on avoiding various sound traps like sticks, bells, horns etc to avoid alerting the predators.
2: Instead of Velociraptors, have something like Wolves or Panthers, animals that aren’t extinct and actually make sense to have.
Wow that was easy 😂
Love it but it would kinda be like that baby episode in Pahkitew island
Love this idea, another idea is to have all the contestants (divided into teams) in a big room like a gymnasium. The room is filled with traps & obstacles designed to alert the team that is given Nerf Guns and are blindfolded. The blindfolded team must try and eliminate every member of the opposing team who are trying to complete 3 tasks and do it as quietly as possible. If the blindfolded team are able to eliminate the opposing team before they complete these 3 tasks, the blindfolded team wins, but if the opposing team can complete their tasks before being eliminated, then that team wins. The blindfolded team should also only be given a finite amount of ammo, because I could see characters like Wayne, Raj & Ripper just firing off all their shots and making it hard for the opposing team to do much, so giving them only a certain amount of ammo keeps it fair.
(The Nerf Gun doesn't have to fire Nerf pellets, but maybe something more in line with what Chris would use, like eggs or paintballs or marbles, something that hurts them upon being shot)
Love it
@@totaldramatdmw-td.hey have a food challenge similar to TDI soooo i think having a similar one to TDPI wouldn't be a bother
@@JP_Loco_93honestly this is an amazing idea. It’s honestly a modern thing that us teens do as a trend, but also so suspenseful too
The "supposedly" after Trent's archetype is so true, I feel like I would die of cringe if I ever met him irl and he started playing that guitar
About the Mal Alejandro alliance, Alejandro calls it off after he finds out who Mal is and tries to keep exposing him but fails bc everyone’s IQ decided to drop by like 100
fr they made everyone so dumb to make mal work
I love how Julia won majority of the immunity challenges I think and priya as training for it since birth
This season i think it was understandable that smart, good and strong competitors like Caleb and Axel got out early on.
If it's been 15 years after Tdi first heired, they all would've (mainly priya) been able to study the show and would've known better to eliminate good characters who dominated early on to make sure they can't dominate the merger and later challenges.
This season is better than anh season that didn’t include the og cast. It’s easily the 4th best season out of the 8. The only thing i didn’t really like (apart from the fact that Julia didn’t win lmao) is that the challenges were a bit boring and not really original + the season is too short and there’s no real room to explore the characters’ arcs and dynamics. Maybe if there was more chill challenges like the standing on the pole one it would’ve fixed that issue. Passive challenges can easily be carried by good dialogues and interesting plot!
All stars isn’t real 🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉
YES FINALLY SOMEONE WHO LIKES EMMA AND CHASE😭😭 they’re hilarious I was laughing so much at both of their flaws during the season. Some people can’t stand Emma for literally the reasons she’s supposed to be funny 😭😭 Emma is my fav character from the reboot hands down
I am also upset Emma and Bowie ended on a bad note…. And I’m even more sad now because of a leak we got for s2
based
@@marniepool It's sad but acceptable. This gives Emma's actions an impact and long term consequences.

Scary girl got a makeover, is going home first, and we also saw shots confirming who’s on who’s team
Anyone who is agreed with me that Julia and MK conflict dynamic should be explored a lot more upon in the second season as a perfect opportunity and have their bad blood rivarly explored more as finalists to make the final 2 together where MK she can have the upperhand advantage over her rival Julia by putting her up in her place as an act of payback revenge retaliation that happens last time in episode 6.
I think they should have some non-elimination episodes because we could potentially have some more cameos from older cast members and also we would get to learn more about the characters and their lives outside of the show.
Nah, no older character cameos. They ran their course and the new characters should shine on their own
4:30 y’all remember that starfall game…..
Given that Priya and Bowie were finalists, I'm interested to see where they take their characters next season because I feel like they both have unresolved plot threads still up in the air. For as much as I love Bowie and think Priya has potential, I fear that the writers might resolve their stories haphazardly early on and force their early outs, but I think they have so much more to show that I could still see them both make the merge handily.
“Maybe All Stars isn’t canon anymore.””Hooray🎉🎉🎉”
32:42 I think the point of that was she wanted to keep ripper on for longer because he directly feeds into her bias against her generation thus giving her more to write about
I really genuinely liked Millie because she reminded me of how I was in middle school. I often thought of myself as much better and smarter than my peers, and my reasons for being like that were pretty similar to Millie's. I didn't know how to talk to others and I had character traits that kids my age found easy to mock (I related hard to the whole super-hero costume thing) and I took that out on them. I never tried to write a book about them but I absolutely would have entertained the idea if I had thought about it.
On TV Tropes, Millie is described as "The Not-Love Interest" to Priya. That basically means their relationship is the main focus, but it's not a romantic one. They seem closer to be headed towards a Heterosexual Life Partners relationship (this is two guys or two girls who are incredibly close, with only a love interest possibly closer. Wayne and Raj are also a great example of this, even though ironically Raj is not heterosexual, but their closeness isn't romantic).
I think they handled the pacing of the show pretty well. It always gave each episode stakes because you knew there would be an elimination. And if they made a bigger cast to fill out 26 episodes, it would just give more chances to make awful characters, like Ripper, or have more characters that are cut-outs of previous characters, like Axel. They pulled off just the right number of characters, and having a second season allows them to give more screen time to characters who were booted early in the previous season, like Caleb, Damien and Nichelle.
The thing about the 1 season being split into 2 13 episode seasons... It wasn't the producers decision make the seasons 13 episodes. The higher ups are the ones who made that decision. So the producers came up with a loophole where they'd just make 2 seasons 13 episodes each which adds up to 26.
this
I really don't understand why the network execs or whoever decided that would be the best idea. What's the business advantage of two 13 episode seasons instead of one 26 episode season?
I agree the Pahkitew archetypes went too far from the edge, they literally made the characters too fictional even for the show to even count as a reality competition on national television.
Most of the challenges are something you could see on reality shows like Survivor like pole balancing, obstacle courses, and gross food eating.
…Not the farts. We don’t talk about that…
I think the point of two 13 episode season is because this is the first time it’s the exact same cast, so I think in the end it’ll feel more like a 26 episode season by the end, HOWEVER they have have 2 main sets of characters arcs with 4 official winners this time around (the finale is to OBVIOUSLY set up for alternate ending when it eventually airs in the US I would bet money that Bowie wins). Also one thing you didn’t mention is how unlike other 13 episode season, because most episodes are just 1 challenge, it often doesn’t start until we’ll past the 4 minute mark minimum usually, I remember specifically one episode didn’t start the challenge until the 7 minute mark, all this time is just characters interacting just like the original 3 seasons, they go on walks and talk, talk in the cabin, eat food in the hall, they exist and do things when not in a challenge, which isn’t the case for the later seasons with their much more challenge focused episodes. The pole challenge really is a stand out, it’s just like the big sleep, it’s even more impressive how they managed to do with with only 6 characters vs 20 in the original I believe.
I think that the farting episode wasn't that bad 'cause of Damien showing his skills & the great confessionals in the episode
Unlike Zoey and Sky, Priya actually has flaws, failings, and character. Her training doesn't prepare her for everything in physical challenges and she's emotionally unstable as proven when she blows up on Chase and gets aggressive on him just for saying one bad thing about Millie. She's fairly sassy (her words to Julia in episode 12) and strategic, she makes an alliance with Millie from the getgo and even did the TDI villain thing of booting a disposable member from the alliance (Julia again).
Personally I think both Zoey and Sky do have flaws that makes them realistic and relatable female characters regarding their personalities & characterizations as a whole arent even labeled as mary sues to beginning with.
@@MarcoSuperNova2784 Disagree. They are way too good at everything and their failings feel inconsistent with their personality and background. Especially Sky.
@@nuibaba280sky’s flaws are her overcompetitiveness and inability to handle romance. She has naive ideas about love (thinking you’re supposed to pass a note to a girl’s friend, who then gets caught by the teacher, to tell her you like her) and feels that it muddies everything up. However, when she falls for Dave, she ends up leading him on and denying her feelings and it almost gets her eliminated. She has a strong code, but sometimes she sticks to it too much and compromises instead of following her heart (reluctantly sabotaging Dave when she switched teams at Jasmine’s order to prove she’s a “team player”). She also gets very competitive, as seen when she messes up in the dueling stick challenge by her anger blinding her attack at Scarlett, or when she throws a tantrum after she is sabotaged by Dave in the finale. There’s more to her and just writing these characters off as bland ignores their usefulness as straight men, yet complex characters who deserve a place in the competition, despite the e fact that they’re not mean, cruel, antagonistic, or cartoonishly wacky or particularly “funny”. The same can be said for Zoey’s gullibility and eagerness for friends and strong loyalty that can blind her to the truth (Scott & Mal’s true natures).
@@sleg4859
Your POV comment you've been written by you is aproved and totally makes sense for what you said.
@@sleg4859 Their "usefulness" are miserably boring and bland. You massively overhype their complexity. I found numerous straight men characters better written, more interesting, and with actual explored flaws than Zoey and Sky, plain nice girls whose only flaw is getting stupid only when the plot needs to them be. Their success rate is lopsided, dominating all sorts of challenges because they're made to be generically good at stuff. Zoey dominates multiple immunity challenges in All Stars. Sky's "flaws" are just her being rendered stupid or outright nerfed for the plot to function, same issue with Zoey. Sky JUST met Dave, Dave is a total stranger yet suddenly she can't play the game right despite supposedly being overcompetitive to a fault? lol. Some flaw that is, that flaw only comes up at convenience. Pahkitew tries to have its cake and eat it too. She's only flawed and fails when the plot needs her to, same issue with Zoey. Every other character in the series has their issues, faults, and failures be a consistent factor except for the two bland MCs. Remember when Zoey fell for Scott's lies but Scott conveniently doesn't manipulate her in the merge? Or how she never really gets down and out from Mal/Mike: easily dominating challenges instead? The story never focuses in on Zoey and Sky's flaws ever because they need to be the most basic boring straight men possible with no well written development rather than making them properly developed characters that play the role of straight man (Gwen and Priya). There's a reason Zoey and Sky are so hated lol. They're boring and not compelling in the slightest.
Sky isn't all that complex by default since Pahkitew's writing is so horrid that you have to resort to blowing small mentioned details out of proportion. Their flaws are barely present nor is her "bad with love thing" an actual issue since it was just Dave being delusional and Sky being conveniently cut off by a challenge announcement. SKY ALREADY HAD A BOYFRIEND BY ThE WAY, this debunks her supposedly being completely bad at love. She already succeeded in the love department before it even began, the flaws are only from Dave's end. Priya does it right, Priya being bad socially led with her no friends or boyfriend and she actually makes a good case why: she's an emotional wreck and snaps at anyone at random (Her scene with Chase). Sky is just too good and boringly normal, she does try to be honest and tell Dave multiple times but he doesn't listen, that's a flaw Dave gets credit for, not Sky. She isn't an over competitive loser either, she's a basic normal person that's made stupid for the plot. Priya does that overcompetitive flaw way better as a protagonist.
28:27 Probably what Chris meant it's been 15 years since the last season (according to the universe of total drama)
I honestly think that, if the reboot had the regular amount of episodes for Total Drama 26, then we could’ve had storylines progress more naturally, like Raj could say he’s scared that Wayne is homophobic and that’s why he wants to keep his attraction to Bowie a secret, then Bowie and Raj could have that bonding episode.
Staci: Yeah! My great great great great great grandfather Rippest invented farting, and before him people just let their behinds explode. And before him everyone was banned from eating beans.
2:07 terry conformed it's a diffrent island that's nameless
10:05 the who takes place in Canada you can even see on Owen's shirt (also someone mentioned how the Creators planned on Owen being the cannon winner with the Maple Leaf) and in Ridonculous Race they start and end the show in Toronto Canada
7:35 even season one was relationship based with Trent trying to make up with Gwen
I know the show takes place in Canada. I meant North America as in the continent
One of the few issues I have with this season is Priya. She shown as a smart and badass character. Yet she failed every challenged and was used the most for fysical comedy and being blinded and used by others. In no way would I know she “trained” for total drama except for the episode where she worked out whilst Millie was eating.
And then the fact that she won was so dumb. Let her lose and accept the fact that she doesn’t want this and it’s only her parents dream. Then she returns next season not really wanting it but then discovers herself about how she wants it both and let her win season 2.
The only thing the show needs improvement on are the challenges, I thought Total Drama Island 2023 excelled at pretty much everything but the challenges, which were all pretty basic, not saying I want the challenges to go back to being too out there and zany like ROTI or PI, but just be a little bit more creative and interesting.
YOU CUT THE BREAKS OFF MY CAR😡😡😡😡😡😡
Ripper looks like a bigger version of me and that saddens me.
Scary girl was the best pity she didn't last longer after starting drama with another character. and I loved the way the contract stop people from quitting it believable of a guy with that massive ego would put in them after all the problems he had with the previous campers just stopping.
If allstars isnt canon due to Wawanakwa coming back... THEN MIKE NEVER LOST HIS PERSONALITIES. GIVING THE CREATORS A CHANCE TO POSSIBLY FIX HIS CHARACTER AS THEY HAVE SAID THEY WOULD WANT TO GO BACK AND REWRITE IT BEFORE.
Ripper works super well when he isnt doing fart jokes
Ripper has me torn so hard because he is funny when he is being a dumbass bully like one of my personal favorites and probably somewhat of a first for the series. And then his other jokes are RIPPER FARTS. I hope they tone sown the ripper farting jokes and bring more ripper being an asshole jokes.
Anyway feel like giving a ranking

I heard that the ripper VA tweeted that we'll see a new side of ripper in the new season, so hopefully that means that he'll go in the right direction? I mean, he already achieved his goal of the world's largest fart, so maybe he'll lay off on ripping for a while.
3:15 Chris's eyes and Chief 😅
I'm very interested into seeing how this production season of Total Drama will play out. Besides season 5 (All-Stars and Pahkitew), they didn't split their production into 2 separate in-universe seasons, and with those two having zilch in common, I always view them as separate seasons first. With 2023's 2 seasons though, I'm thinking their choice to do this again, but with the characters coming back for their next season, means they're going to go about their storytelling differently than ever before. A lot of what you complained about not having a real conclusion likely means that they were merely set up in the "First Act", and they will actually conclude in their "Second Act"
This is a solid breakdown! Little bit of constructive criticism: I think you might be sitting a little too close to your mic, but other than that, great video!
The farts are actually only 3 minutes of the episode. I honestly think this episode is overhated. The interactions between characters were pretty good, especially considering that this is the only episode where Chase and Emma are indipendent. The challenge is very questionable sure but it's very far from "the worst episode of the whole show". The worst of the reboot, probably tho
I see your point, but I think 3 minutes is actually quite a long time. Especially when it’s spread out so there’s a drawn out fart jokes once every other scene or so. I agree it has some good character interactions though, it’s a shame that stuff gets overshadowed.
my opinion here is they burnt too many story lines too early and got rid of the characters as soon as there story is resolved, whereas it would've been leagues more entertaining to maybe sit with the outcome of some characters for an episode or two. a sidenote, Damian learning the game and making it further wouldve been gold and i genuinly think they had no clue how to get rid of Wayne and Raj ahaha
28:50 That’s exactly what I thought! Especially the opposite part!
Caleb=justin
Axel=Eva
Nichelle=LeShawna
-I forgot the elimination order-
Wayne=kadie
Raj=Sadie
Bowie=Courtney
Mk=Noah (also off topic i have a theory that mk is emma and Noah's kid)
Ripper=Owen + Duncan
Priya = Zoey
Mille = Idk🤷
Julia = Heather (she looks like blaineley)
Emma = idk 🤷
Chase = a terrible verison of geoff and zeeke
Zee = Lindsay
Damien: Dj but also Tyler
Scary girl= Izzy
For the rest idk reply pls
Ok but why does Bowie look like that one guy from Axel in Harlem

I think it would have been better if millie made the finals, I mean for most of the show almost every character said she would fall apart without priya, it would have been a nice moment to see her win it all without her
That would've been trash. Millie shouldn't be rewarded for being a terrible friend that got carried the whole season.
@@nuibaba280 your saying that like priyas family wasn’t objectively fucked, wouldn’t you rather have seen her grow to stand up to her parents and realize that she ultimately didn’t want to win toltal drama?
@@austinwood2470 Except she wasn't just shit talking Priya's family. She also trashed Priya and EVERYONE there. Millie was being judgmental and fake, she shouldn't be rewarded with finalist, fuck that shit she got carried and put too little effort to win.
I think to fix the episodes problem they could do a season with 16 or 20 episodes it's the midway.
I wonder if the second season would be a another world tour season but then again after the previous season I don't think Chris wants anything to do with music again
my reasoning for why chef changed so much is just because.. it's been like 12 (or 15?) years since the last season of total drama in-universe. people change. maybe he went to therapy. same thing for chris's voice. and the animals were probably imported by chris. Damien even points out that the sharks really shouldn't be there. bringing in crazier animals is something chris would do.
Cool review! Think I'll give my thoughts on every character:
Caleb: Just Justin. Lazy character.
Axel: Mix of Jo, Eva and Shawn. Lazy character.
Nichelle: At first I thought she'd go further in the game. I liked by default just for being grounded, but I didn't miss her whatsoever when she got eliminated.
Scary Girl: Cool design, gimmicky character. Not one I particularly enjoy.
Damien: I WAS SO MAD WHEN HE GOT ELIMINATED. I loved the jokes about him, I love that he had another characterization outside of his gimmick, and I loved his personality overall. I thought a character who initially didn't knew a thing about the show then wanted to quit would make a great finalist, or at least a great character to last long.
MK: Another one I was upset to see going so soon, just because her gimmick allowed so much drama and chaos, and I think this aspect of her was underutilized.
Wayne and Raj: Too similar to the Surfers. Raj coming out as gay is cute, but he has no character outside of it. Wayne is just Geoff. They're too... whatever... for me. Should've been eliminated earlier.
Ripper: I'm mixed on him. There are moments I like him being obnoxious, there are another moments I don't. The toilet humour is awful, but I like the bully and macho wannabe aspects of him. I totally get your dislike towards Ripper, though.
Zee: He's just pure fun. Lasted as much as I think he should. Had the best jokes in the season. I laughed at him, I laughed with him... I like him :)
Chase: So hopelessly idiot that hurts, but in a good way. I don't like the romance subplot conclusion, Emma has no reason to get back with him.
Emma: I love her outside of the subplot. Don't get me wrong, her being constantly annoyed with Chase is fun, but what I like the most about her is her being so silly and (realistically) over-the-top. Her dancing in the bathroom, her friendship with Bowie... she's just so lovable.
Julia: Good villain, I liked her way more than I thought I would, but I think she reminds me too much of Heather. I like variation in villain archetypes for Total Drama. She's good nonethenless.
Millie and Priya: Okay characters with a decent arc going through all the season. I don't exactly heart any of them as finalists, but I appreaciate the friendship they built.
Bowie: My favorite character. His personality. His looks. His jokes. The way he plays the game. I never once hot tired of Bowie, I was always enjoying everything about him. Well, actually, I'm disappointed with him being so passive most of the season, when he EASILY could've been one of the greatest Total Drama villains, but he's still my favorite character of this cast.
11:50 Welll, he was also kinda like this in some parts of all stars
35:18 He put Sugar in S-tier, that is a sin.
Where can i watch it?
I am PRAYING for a Bridget and Jeff style elimination for Chase and Emma in the second season, I skipped everytime they were on screen.
Not gonna happen. Your failure to give them a fair chance is purely on you and makes your opinion worthless trash.
Ur video is underrated
the only thing besides the farting episode this season i found really annoying was the final challange and especially it's resolution (not the 3 way prefinale part the actual 1v1 at the end)
24:28 i like this paire
PS: I didnt even watched this season and have no idea or clue about the season itself and characters but I will gonna give it a try my short opinions and thoughts:
My top 16 worst-best TDRI (Total Drama Island Reboot) characters ranking are:
16: Chase

Maybe TDR Season 2 might have them come back or even have a second and possibly better All stars
Some of the characters from TDIR 2023 that they were eliminated early in the competition or the ones who should be deserving winners as potential finalists for the next following season should be: Caleb Axel Nichelle MK Scary Girl Wayne Raj Julia Damien and probably Zee I wish these guys to be well developed as characters with potential and the drive to win by making further into the competition of the second season, anyone agreed with my idea ?
What is it called
i like now chef is more present. chef before was like here 4 episodes.
Maybe he means dramarama
Does anyone else think that Bowie should’ve stayed on until there was a deal? It’s free food/money and he was gonna do it anyways
Why would you say chef and chris get new coice actors and not play any clips of them

Bowie is the canon winner!
Cartoon Network screwed it up
What is it with total drama and reducing a character into a satellite for another character? I mean
Bridgette: An empathetic clumsy surfer girl that makes lots of friends
Also Bridgette: Geoff Geoff Geoff Geoff Geoff
Sierra: a total drama superfan that watched every episode and learned everyone's strategies
Also Sierra: Cody Cody Cody Cody Cameron Cody Cody Cody
Zoey: A lonely girl that wants to make friends
Also Zoey: Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike Mike
Dave: A pessimistic germaphobe that is usually the voice of reason to his absolutely deluded team
Also Dave: Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky Sky
Chase: A daredevil prankster influencer that votes strategically and tries to impress his teammates
Also Chase: Emma Emma Emma Emma Emma Emma Emma

the characters felt too similar to me to like them that much. Priya is just sky, bowie is just a bit like duncan, millie is beth, julia is blaineley, emma is courtney, chase is just geoff in action, zee is just geoff in island, ripper is owen, wayne and raj are just rock and spud, mk is just noah, damien is just world tour dj, scary girl is like mal, nichelle is just lindsay, axel is shawn/ eva, kaleb is just justin
That's a you problem. These conclusions are dumb and extremely superfluous. Bowie is nothing like Duncan, don't be stupid.
I HATED Ripper - I hated any episode with fart jokes - I think it was such just a mock for anyone who is under the age of 13 - it seems like they are just babying the younger viewers - and ripper was just obnoxious
Also Emma was done DIRTY. Chase was a straight up bad person. I feel like Emma could’ve of been an amazing character. I would’ve of thought a good Chase’s elimination episode could be Emma and Bowie teaming up in like episode 3-5 to kick out chase to start one of the coolest friendships. Much better then Millie and Priya

I find Bowie annoying they gave him the high pitched voice and his personality is mostly being gay they should’ve done more with the character way more
Then you didn't pay attention to Bowie. Bowie's arrogant, strategic, and competitive. They did a lot with his character, don't say such stupid claims.
