I'm an Alec lover so I'm probably biased but, HOW DID ALEC NOT WIN THE CHALLENGE?!?! He's portrayed as the smart, analytical one, a bookworm! I'll never understand how a character that's been constantly said to have those traits cannot win a PUZZLE challenge. If Grett does not win the season istg
Ally has become ridiculously obnoxious for no reason. She isn’t supposed to be such an unsympathetic character, but I feel like they’re trying to make even Riya more sympathetic than her! At this point they made me want her to not get a happy ending lol.
I think they thought if she got a similar arc to Riya and have her fight with one of the fandom's most devicive character she'd get all the girl boss tick tok edits and forgetting why people liked her to begin with
@@Just-a-random-guy. She's come full circle. She so desperatly wanted to escape the Haters that she became one as she acts to Jake like her Haters do to her.
I feel like the riya perfume thing is supposed to represent how they see their relationship. Connor saw it as something special and she saw it as something to use to benefit herself. Riya is still trying to use him for her self gratification but he’s given up and just sees her with pity.
I kept wondering what made Ally's villain turn so much more annoying than Ellie and Riya's and I realize it's because Ally is just being a petty asshole to Jake. With Ellie and Riya the turn came from them making game moves they thought necessary to win and they made enemies based on those moves. Ally is just doing these moves to make Jake angry and reply with "You mad bro?" It's so unbareable and grating. It really is sad too because I actually liked the idea of Ally turning to the villains when it was Riya planting seeds to corrupt her but now it's just...annoying fighting.
I have to say it sucks Alec is out, but i feel like if he stayed any longer, he would become annoying as hell. Ever since Connor returned, Alec turned into All Stars Gwen. Whinning and crying over not being "a bad person" and wanting Connor to like him. And it feels...just weird? When did Alec ever worry so much over being a good person?? Also? Connor. Why is Connor all he talks about for 4 episodes straight? They barely event spent that much time together during the pre merge. Its just so overkill and Alec just became a shell of his former self. The thing abt him not loving his son..where was that?! I wanted to see THAT. Instead his character just becane.. "oh riya stop being mean to connor..please like me connor, woe is me"
ur honestly so right. I wish they used the Alec being worried about his relationship with Connor into like Alec having a crush on Connor which is honestly the only reason I could think of for Alec to b acting that way.
I don't think they work as a couple i think they would be a lot better as friends in my opinion and instead of Alec having a crush on Connor make Alec like Connor as a friend because Connor was the first and only real and genuine friend that Alec had and the only one who didn't friend Alec just because he wanted something from him that would make their friendship really nice and would explain why Alec cares so much about making things right with Connor@@Oddlylyd

Realll I rlly liked Alec but i so glad he went this episode. I miss s1 Alec who didn't show emotions and acted like he didn't gaf abt anything. He became SO annoying since ep 14. Like can someone tell odd nations that we don't need to feel bad for every single character or not all characters need an arc? Alec is a character who did not need an arc, and if odd nations thought he needed one, they should at least write it well.
They were literally setting up Alec to be the main villain this season and then just pulled the rug from underneath us. And I was actually rooting for Alec as he was one of the very few villains that never got on my nerves this season. Also if we get an Ally vs Jake finale, I'll lose it
@@samuelb-1406 the point is since he was the only character making decent set-up moves such as starting the villain alliance, manipulating Jake to save Fiore as a potential ally, using the villians as shields, helping Ellie not get eliminated, voting out Miriam and Ashley, and telling Riya to manipulate Ally... it wouldnt be a SHOCK to think they may have been setting up Alec as a sneakier main villian, who isnt all confrontational and in your face.
@@samuelb-1406 why the writers seemingly made him do whatever in episode 5-10 is beyond me, but that seems more like they were focused on relationship drama and just not caring about him(and others) after.
THE FACT THAT 20+ YEAR OLDS CANT SOLVE A 12 PIECE PUZZLE IS HONESTLY CRAZY 😭 grett is probably the only character i like that is still in the game, she will probably be eliminated tho because of ally’s bland ass sussing her out 😭😭
genuinely this is the worst final 5 out of the three seasons. they've butchered so many characters and give the spotlight to those who REALLY DONT NEED IT 😭
Jake was the one who ruined it for me in ep 2-10 Then it was okay, but then the writers decided to assassinate Ally for no reason. She and Riya are now also annoying. Grett win PLEASE
The fact that Grett is the least problematic is honestly saying something about the rest of the cast lmao. At this point she should just go to the finish line and win that 3 mil.
HIS ELIMINATION WAS SO FUCKING RUSHED IT WAS SO SHITTY 😻 Maybe I’m just salty because I’ve been rooting for him since season 1 and about how they ruined him in all stars but idgaf bring back the old writers ☹️
TO BE FAIR Disventure Camp All Stars does do ONE thing right: it does mimic Survivor very well, in the way that their All Star season (Season 8, not HvV, Cambodia, WAW, or even Game Changers) had all of the interesting people go home first, all the people who went far were insanely unlikable, and the tone of the seasons just people being bitter towards one another for no reason.
I have a weird perspective on Ally. I'm polyamorous, so I was ecstatic to see Ally, Hunter, and Tess seemingly end up together as a polycule in the end of Season 2. I also enjoyed watching their storylines unfold. Due to this, I may have looked past how they might have not really had personalities in Season 2, but I didn't care; we got polyamorous representation in a relatively popular webseries. Then All Stars happened and it pretended they were never poly. And they were writing Hunter and Ally as annoying people who were not good for each other. I didn't get the sense of that at all in Season 2 (besides Hunter kissing Ally before they all talked about their situation but again, that was resolved in the finale). I wanted to keep liking Ally. I held out hope that somehow, Tess, Hunter, and Ally would all make the merge and they would interact again and they would work on their relationship. But no. They kept writing Ally worse and worse. But I cant bring myself to hate her. I hate how the writers are writing Ally, but I can't hate her. I still love the idea of Ally, of what she could have been, of the poly rep she once was. I wanted so bad for Ally, Hunter, and Tess to have their happy ending, but unfortunately, I don't think that's ever gonna happen. (Also side note, I remember watching SillyBilly (English VA of Trevor) interviewing like a DC writer or something and when SillyBilly asked about Hunter, Tess, and Ally's relationship the writer said something along the lines of "they would never work out". I could be wrong but I don't even know where to begin trying to find the video. Just gets me thinking, if that's the conclusion you come to, why write in a polyamorous relationship to begin with?) Anyway, sorry for the longass comment, I have lots of thoughts about Ally. They'll never make me hate you, version of Ally I have in my head.
I agree 100%, it feels like a fanfic where the writers hate Ally and try to make her as unlikeable as possible, completely ruining her character. I get she's not the most interesting and doesn't have much personality, but she feels so OOC just being a complete jerk to everyone because "I don't care what others think", which is so hypocritial since she is not caring what others think so she becomes more likeable to the audience and learns nothing.. Instead of giving her depth it feels like they try to make her as unlikeable as possible so that Jake looks better. Ally had so much potentional, what are the writers doing. 😭 (I was lowkey hoping Ally would help Jake when he failed on the rock challenge because she felt bad, but nope instead let's just bully jake. 🤩)
When they all woke up in the same bed together, I was like "oh shit this is happening" and I was happy for them. And then they said the cast shoutouts you can buy are canon and Tess' VA said that she and Ally "were like sisters" and I knew it was over. This could have been a fun deconstruction of stupid love triangles that ruin shows like Total Drama and instead of that, they just made Hunter a massive idiot, threw Tess under the bus, and made Ally insufferable. I'm in the same camp as you where I just can't bring myself to hate Ally because she COULD be a great character that was ruined by bad writing. I go into every elimination expecting her to go because she's been an absolute nothing burger since Tess got voted out. But god is it painful to see this once really positive character just get dragged through the mud for no reason.
I’ve come to realize a lot on why I hate Ally. Personally, I don’t think it’s because she doesn’t have a personality. It’s just she has every flaw Jake had-But is unable to look outside her own viewpoint and just wants the illusion of looking good. Even when she said she’s going to stop caring about what other people think of her, she votes Aiden out purely because he has a better opinion of Jake than her! She’s just morphed into a hater herself. A one-note villain whose goal in the endgame is to JUST get out Jake…which just makes it really obvious that she’s not going to accomplish this goal. Alec being eliminated here, I guess was coming since the end of episode 15. I wasn’t expecting the totem to be played here, but I do like that it’s a call back to the Tom/Jake downfall, except for Jake, it gets diverted because Connor and Grett help him. I hope Connor/Grett/Jake are the final 3. They’re the characters everyone’s rooting for, they’re the ones with the best development, and they’re not one-not idiots like Riya and Ally.
I think it's very funny how worried Riya was. She was totally supposed to be the audience surrogate. Her whole worried experession like she was gonna get voted and then when Alec gets a vote she looks at him in shock. It's so funny how hard they try to pull the rug out from under us.
It was so tragic when Brian Griffin was unexpectedly hit by a car before the Bus of Losers could pick him up. It was such a sad moment that Riya showed genuine emotional vulnerability and Ally Well Ally’s too far gone, she was busy Fortnite dancing.
Omg I cannot tell you how much I agree with the shocking vs satisfying elimination thing. Litterally no one saw the past few eliminations coming (except Yul) and NO ONE wanted any of them, I guess Aiden but from what I’ve heard people though Aiden was really decent in that episode. All of the past few elimination have been dogshit and make little sense to boot them.
OMG IM SO HAPPY THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS ALEC HAS BEEN A MESS THIS SEASON. Alec from episodes 1-4 were good. He was entertaining, cunning, manipulative, and strategic. Then starting in episode 5 he just gets shoved to the background. Everyone always says “Alec had been so strategic this season” and “Alec ate this season” but…he DIDNT? Alex felt like a backup character in his OWN alliance. Even to the point that it feels like Riya was the leader of the villains alliance despite us being told otherwise. Riya made the big moves, Riya is the one who put Yul in his place, Riya is the one that talked to Grett. Nowhere am I saying Riya is a great character but Alec has done nothing from episodes 5-12. Then in episodes 13-16 he was a whiny baby. He didn’t care for strategy or the game. He just cared about Riya and Connor and it’s SO BAD.
I agree with what you said about episodes 13-16, but in episodes 5-10 he wasn't really a background character. He just took a slight step back to help other characters to wrap up their plots. He finished his helping Connor era in episode 6, which actually gave us interactions of them that make sense and are wholesome, and then he was in his bullying Yul and defending Grett era, which was created for humor mostly, and was pretty entertaining to watch. Weird that Grett didn't remember Alec defended her, but whatever. In episode 10-12 he was at his peak since episode 4, he took a step up as a main villain, won two immunities, and helped Gabby win the tie breaker against Tom. Also Fiore and him working together in e11 was so good. It was all great, until they decided to throw it all away for a pathetic story about Alec realizing he's shity and doesn't act in-character for 4 episodes straight, until his boot.
Ally and Riya need to be gone yesterday tbh. It’s not even that I hate them anymore, they’re just so *boring* . They actively drag down the quality of the otherwise-good quality of the final 5. Granted, Alec would too, but at least we wouldn’t practically have “Riya” and “younger Riya”. Grett’s plan is smart, but boy is it going to be a grating few episodes, even in the best case scenario where Riya and Ally are the next boots.
@mandu859 if you’re entertained by her, then I’m super happy for you. I’m glad you were able to find enjoyment in an aspect of the season that I dislike, but I’m just not captivated by anything she does with others and especially on her own. She feels like she has no substance behind being a “mean girl” character and she has no secondary elements to her character that allow her static characterization to stand strong like others of her archetype.
Alec is my favorite character and his story was not concluded. He actually needed the money too. Only carries are left 😭😭 At the end he said see you next time so maybe it isn't the end for him
Alec became a whiney all stars Gwen these past episodes, he was already getting annoying..couldnt stand him wallowing over Connor disliking him any more
alec was so irrelevant all season just being a plot device to strengthen riya and connor. he’s literally aiden but alcoholic and also whines about his ex wife cheryl constantly
yeah i agree with most of your points honestly, i would also like to point out that the challenge felt too basic to me and lasted like 5 minutes in my head. the only person i REALLY want to win right now is grett, who is in my opinion the best character in the final 5 pre merge dcas>>>>>wtvr this ep is
I would even say the pre merge is worse, wasted characters, unsatisfying eliminations back to back to back, unfulfilled plots, boring challenges with like 7 of the challenges just being the same challenge over and over again, bad build up the plots we actually have now and just overall questionable writing that followed up towards the merge
Another problem I have is that people that the viewers CLEARLY liked get eliminated for character the viewers don’t really like or are neutral it’s drives me insane like I bet Alec is the one of the best remaining after Episode 15 along with Grett and what do they do eliminate him when Ally and Riya are hated on the daily it’s doesn’t make sense to me
Man the question I always have is why didn't they do another 2 or 3 seasons with original character before doing all star cause then instead of have a character like Ally who's blander the a bowl of corn flake, we could have had more interesting characters and a better more satisfying plot.
i think that jake was so unlikeable in the early parts of the season but the writers wanted him to win and need to make everyone else even more unlikeable than jake so we root for him. when the finale is jake ally and riya then who else are we supposed to root for
I think the thing that really pisses me off about Connor and Riya's relationship is it literally could've been resolved in the season two finale, either have them end up together or have Connor break up with her there after seeing her true colours, allowing for a pretty good bit of karma for the villain's actions. Jake and Ally I think are meant to be a compelling rivalry but let's compare to something like Leshawna and Heather's from season one. Leshawna and Heather's arguments happened quite a lot but were few and far between but these arguments are always justified. Their rivalry also has an affect on other characters, Lindsay getting a chance to do something to spite Heather in the cooking episode, it being the driving factor for Leshawna to want to eliminate Trent so bad when he kisses Heather the list goes on. Ally and Jake on the other just happens whenever the two are on screen together and I mean I guess you could argue it contributed to Ashley's elimination but that's a bit if a stretch I'd say that was more him and Aiden's rivalry. Then Grett while she's pretty good now, she's placed in a situation where she's surrounded by absolutely atrocious characters so it being fun to see her interact with others is unlikely not to mention she should've returned to her root much sooner hell if Grett and Yul broke up earlier on, seeing the two try every strategy to get each other eliminated could be really cool. Anyways I yapped too hard rest in peace Brian and fucking bazinga or something idk
Literally, the whole episode with Ally, I was like: "Is... Is this how people felt when Riya had that heel turn villain moment? I haven't even watched the fist two seasons, but I feel like half of them don't even deserve to be here. - Riya's already made final 2 and is just Connor-obsessed at this point. Plus the writers can't seem to pick whether or not they want to give Riya a redemption or make her go full mean girl. - Ally is slowly becoming the toxic haters she so desperately despised and is annoying as hell. - As much as I've grown on Jake, I don’t feel like he deserves to win after how emotionally and recklessly he played in the first half of the season. The only ones I'm even thinking about rooting for now are Grett and Connor. I would add Alec but... you know... he's gone now. 😒
12:24 lech getting more and more terrifying with each new single disventure camp episode is such a funny gag that I really love Please make each next entry’s ending more creepy than the last LOL
The characters who got elimated before the merge was got lucky, they're characters stayed the same ( except tess and Ashely who are really just support characters in this show) and they didnt get derailed. Im glad that lake, james, Miriam and even fiore didnt get derailed, because they are one of my personal favorites
At this moment, I think that the bickering that Ally and Jake have is like the one Nickel and Ballon (Inanimate Insanity) had, but WAY WORSE, I believe that at this point, every time that they argue makes me want to log out of the video and straight up, stop watching DCAS, and it makes it worse as a fan of the series. At this point I dont care about Riya or Connor getting out or ''trying'' to fix their nonexistent love for eachother, they are just too inmature to try and do sh*t to save their relationship or just stop talking to eachother (mostly Riya). I was rooting for Alec and Grett to make to the finale but... SPOILERS!!!!! THEY HAD TO GET ONE OF THE DECENT CHARACTERS OUT OF THE GAME, so Alec's elimination is not one of my favorites, I get it, they had to make it to show that Grett is taking the strings of the game and she's trying to play more serious and all, but they could of done THE SAME by eliminating Riya, and have a scene between Connor and her talking about the crap they've done in their and i quote, ''ReLatIONshIp''. but well they already eliminated Alec and we can't do sh*t about it. The best part of the episode was Trevor and Emily (Even though they had only one scene in the episode), Grett and kind of the ending...
also i loved alec from season 1!! like everything about his character and personality was sooo good esp the duo between him and fiore. i can understand how his wife divorcing him would affect his mental state/health, but it feels like he used none of his intellect, tricks, and manipulation to further himself in the game esp with the recent episodes. and how suddenly he had a thing with riya, but thats cause he was drunk...idk i felt like that was also supposed to keep riya's relevance between her dynamics with connor too
I find it funny how back in the early days of All Stars, I was one of the few people who saw where Ally's character was going from the beginning. No one wanted to believe me. Now I sit back, and laugh. The fools didn't listen😂😂
My main problem with the season is that they are practically forcing you into rooting for Jake? He had tons of interactions with everyone, tons of screentime and plots, while other characters got wasted, early eliminated or villanized just to give him anotyer plot (coff coff ally). At this point I expect Grett to go 5th so that the final 4 will be the most boring thing ever happened in 3 seasons, good job onc, yoy will never make me like him
Think that dcas is kinda going down a BFDI s1 path. The last few episodes after around episode 20 it kinda went downhill. hope the last 5 episodes will be better
I actually just started BDFI a couple days ago with my brother. Tennis Ball just got eliminated, I don’t remember what episode that is. So this statement is a bit…worrisome
--I can say Alec is my favorite character in the series, but god has the past few episodes for him have been ROUGH. The writing for him has just been awful since like episode 14, (As an Alec lover this is hard to say) He genuinely could have won the season if the whole Riya-Connor plot didn’t happen, I personally think Alec was the contestant that deserved the money the most, and it SUCKS to see what the writing for him became in the past few episodes. --I am so SICK of Ally, she has been genuinely terrible for the last couple of episodes, she has been so derailed. I personally think she should have gone home instead of Tom because she has gotten so unbelievably bad. --After this episode I think Jake or Grett is personally who I am rooting for, Grett has been pretty good this season, And as of right now she definitely deserves the money the most, as for Jake he has grown a lot this season And I would not be mad at him winning at all, plus he has been very good these past couple episodes. --For Connor I personally wouldn’t be mad if he won, Just a little disappointed. I personally think he shouldn’t win mostly because he is only still in because of comebacks. Since he skipped a large portion of the game I don’t think it would feel right if he won, But he was really solid in this episode. --Riya has gotten SO unbelievably bad, personally she wasn’t that bad in the first half of All Stars, (Not the best but still) I think she should have been gone a while ago as I feel it is too late for a redemption arc.
I had a dream the other night where Alec gets his "Sundae, Muddy Sundae". Alec gets exposed as a traitor after his elimination chart is exposed and the remaining contestants lose trust in him. Chris fucks around with the challenge at the last minute, just as Alec is about to win. Thanks to Chris, Alec refuses to eat the sundae. As a result, he gets eliminated with 3-2 votes. Thanks to this episode, Alec was left with no chance of redemption.
I wish, in that scene with Alec and Connor, Alec could bretrayed the villain alliance and voted out priya. And maybe Jake at start doesn't trust but then slowly he undestand that Alec change. And since the totem wouldn't be used maybe connor could be in dangerous situation in the next challenge alone and there was only grett to save him but in return to give her the totem so she can use it and go out one of the Connor's alliance (so That all the villains cannot be eliminated at once)
You know what would have made this an infinitely better episode? Change the challenge from a dumb parkour puzzle contest to a group therapy session. No big explosive challenge. Just a group of people sitting around a table talking. Whoever shows the most progress by the end wins invincibility. Have the "therapist" be Nina as a tongue-in-cheek joke about how disgruntled kids use therapy dolls to open up better and then go one by one deconstructing what makes these characters tick and why they are what they are. Jake got most of his therapy out of the way already with Ashley and he can be used as a "model citizen" for the others to look to for inspiration and he's given immunity out of the gate for already trying to better himself. This of course sets off Ally, who discusses her streaming career and being bombarded with hate. Maybe she has unresolved feelings for Tess and Hunter she wants to get off her chest? Or maybe she feels worse off for being the third wheel in their group and knows that most people prefer them to her. Grett can use this as an opportunity to talk about her mother's expectations for her, her abusive relationship with Yul, and her new desire to get healthy for herself and not for the pleasure of others. Conner can talk more about his feeling inadequate for inheriting a company, but most of his lines are about Riya and her gross attitude. Riya could actually show a little emotion and we could dive into that "Riya is a complex character" tweet that got sent out to defend her inconsistent writing. Of course she TRIES to lie through her teeth the whole time, but she does break occasionally and actually show some real emotion and regret for becoming what she has. And then there's Alec. He didn't get his arc resolved whatsoever before he left so this could be a perfect time to send an open letter to his ex-wife. Say how he feels. Say stuff he couldn't say to her in person. And then talk about his kid, who the lie detector says he doesn't really love. It's normal for some parents to not fully love their kids. Maybe they only had the kid to save the relationship and he harbors a very suppressed resentment for it. Riya's acting causes her to win, despite a lot of it being BS apologies but also some actual self-growth. Alec's story, however, causes the rest of the cast (who are all younger and not parents) to turn against him for thinking he's a bad dad and it becomes justification for his elimination. All except Conner who is older and understands that, despite not being a parent himself, being a parent is difficult and there's a lot that comes with it. After he's eliminated at the end, Alec tells his son he does love him and he regrets dragging him through the mud with the divorce. He knows he could be a better dad and no matter what happens, he loves him and he's going to do better now that the show is over. But hey, what do I know? I only wrote multiple novels and actually consider the mental health aspect of fictional characters when writing them and how therapy is actually a good thing once and a while for overcoming trauma and character flaws.
I started BDFI season 1 with my brother and despite being a 12 year old series that was created by I believe actual children, I am way more attached and emotionally invested in that than the majority of the All Stars cast here. After Pen left I dread every elimination because I love all the remaining cast. Here, I just groan because why on earth is Riya still here? She can’t win so why keep a finalist around this long? It’s the same thing that was complained about with Priya(even the names rhyme) but even worse!
i agree, im 13 and goodness i cant STAND ANY OF THEM. I mean jake is cool (and the only character I like), and also grett. but the others?! AFKLFJKLDFJLKSDFJKLSDF so annoyingg
The difference between Priya and riya is Priya was made to be good at total drama plus Owen Heather Zoey and Duncan also made final 4 after/before winning with DC riya has been doing the most idiotic moves and has had such bad plot armor it's insulting
As an Alec Stan and a huge Alec fan, I am sure disappointed with this episode and elimination. I actually had to accept Alecs' downfall because I thought he would actually be great again, but this was just pathetic. DCAS geting worse is very noticeable and it just needs to be said cause my god. I get the positives and what makes sense for Alecs elim, But I just dont it makes sense and I dont think they gave my man justice. Grett isnt a villain or whatever that I can get behind and these other characters arnt really cutting it even though I love Jake and Riya, but wtf is their story rn. I just dont care anymore, Im going to finish this season and not look back.
Alec was only good in the kiss episode honestly Also I feel like the writers are woke and just dont have the ability to judge if someone is a good or bad person
God Alec is my favorite character and it hurts so badly to see him tampered with like this. They made him a floater who just so happens to almost land in finals, in DCAS as he only serves as fodder/bait for the ConRiya plot which ultimately doesn't matter anymore. Bloody hell, even the trailer made it obvious he was going to get eliminated! Imo, DCAS fell off right after Episode 6! Writing got sloppy in these recent episodes and Alec is a testament to that. I wrote a short essay analyzing Season 1 Alec and why it was Alec's peak. Whilst comparing and contrasting DCAS Alec if anyone is interested in the replies below. (Please do take it with a grain of salt and I apologize in advance for it being quite rusty)
What is Disventure Camp? Disventure Camp (formerly known as Adventure Camp/Total Drama Adventure) is a popular web series composed by both Jared Madrigal and Robert Castallanos. It depicts some elements that gravitate towards renowned, and prominent shows such as Total Drama Island and Survivor. It is currently ongoing as it spans out to a total of four seasons, and is held within Camp Tipiskaw in Canada. Disventure Camp takes on the role of using the game format from Survivor whilst utilizing Total Drama Island's animation style. As aforementioned, it used to be known as Adventure Camp/TDA. Undoubtedly, this season was notable due to its compelling plot and use of lore from TDI, deriving it as its own plot (even as far as to introduce some characters from the show to deepen the plot). Not to mention the lackluster, choppy animation while still hosting thrilling character designs. This season is known as the beta season, which was originally released back in 2021. Now back to DC. Well, what is Disventure Camp anyway? You may be asking yourself that very question right now, or not. Either way, it's a web series that highlights its cast as the prime hook, as well as the prize being an absurd amount of money, which could potentially be life-changing for some. These contestants must face challenges that test their willpower, smarts, and strengths to see who'll ultimately come out on top. Furthermore, they'll even have to socialize, which is yet another factor in this competition if you want to make it far at all. Having enemies and allies in this game is no joke, one wrong move or acting recklessly can eventually lead a contestant plummeting towards their demise and getting booted off. Overview of DC S1 First of all, I want to analyze and discuss one of the best, if not BEST the season of Disventure Camp as of now. That being Season 1 of Disventure Camp, the predecessor following the Beta season. S1 of DC excels at everything it stands for. Being an introductory season and setting the standard and atmosphere for the upcoming seasons is highly crucial. Its adept and nifty ideology behind it all allows for the writing to fully flourish its potential and plot. Yet, it still manages to set the bar high. The character interactions and the highly innovative, ingenious challenges presented each episode is what truly makes up Disventure Camp. In that case, I truly can't help but mention the originality of the cast in terms of personality and designs, whilst still simultaneously reflecting some traits and tropes we constantly see in TDI in DCs own style. With this in mind, the zany yet amusing, oppressive tension continues to get amplified by each following episode which adds on to further reason why this season is considered the best one. As well as the most unprecedented twists sprinkled throughout the series. I can't help but admire and discern how the writing manages to make an everlasting impression whenever a cast member is voted off. In short, its oddly visionary pioneering, and nerve-wracking pace does a phenomenal job at executing a hook that manages to latch onto us viewers and usher a riveting nature. Analyzing Alec Whenever I personally try to think of a superb, and flawlessly written character from the cast, one of my answers would be Alec without a doubt, (if we ignore DCAS ever happened). Why is it Alec you may ask? I definitely plan on elaborating further as to why. Alec is such a conflicted yet compelling character I absolutely adore. Alec S1 Whenever Alec was first introduced in Season 1, he wasn't somebody who stood out or appealed to the audience, rather some guy who tends to be cunning, surprisingly mature, and spends his leisure reading. Albeit, I will admit however that Alec's social game wasn't as strong when comparing him to other contestants. He tends to stick to an iota of people if possible. Additionally, Alec tends to relish close bonds and alliances even if he doesn’t let us on to this knowledge. You could tell Alec is highly considerate of relationships [even if he doesn't admit it] with others but only plays strategically. Only his beliefs determine his actions/next moves. (Alec managed to get along just fine with Fiore, but their bond soon evolved into a father-like-daughter trope. He would even go as far as to say they both were the dream team). We can see this due to his interactions with (mainly) Fiore, Ellie and Grett. Alec plays it smart which I can come to appreciate, and it isn't as reckless or stubborn as the other characters. As the episodes go on, we soon come to find out he has a son (family). Which comes off as slightly bewildering but surely it isn't relevant in further episodes? Either way, Alec still remains as an enigma to all. It's this point that we realize that Alec likes to put some thought before acting upon it as he's coolly. He remains serene and collected for most of the duration of the competition that is, until it's unveiled through Fiore that Alec is going through some marital issues with his wife. Alec seldom brings it up but on the occasion, he confides in Fiore to talk about the marital issues he has. Hell, Alec had even projected his thoughts to Fiore about how he “wished his son was more like her” (considering Fiore is a child prodigy). We can only blindly make assumptions regarding what type of person he is outside of the competition. The fact remains that he had humiliated his son on national live television. What could he have truly meant by that? What were the implications of that? We can only aimlessly ponder and make educated guesses about Alec's life outside of this game which makes him that much more intriguing. Moreover, even if the writers revealed this about Alec, he still remains a gritty and resourceful contender without ruining his character at all. Towards the last few episodes we start to notice how Alec and Fiore's strategies fluctuate on how to tackle the others. (As a result, this occurs with Alec’s relationships with others as well). The indefatigable powerhouse duo became some of the main antagonists against most others when they made the merge. (With the exception of Grett and Ellie but then the two soon fall short as they were deceived). The dream team came up with rather engrossing schemes on how to boot out the others. Some of these tactics involved lying and manipulation and they completely worked like a charm. You can't deny the fact that Alec is rather insightful and able, even if what he did was wrong. In the third to last episode of S1 [EP11], the contestants got to receive a letter from home. Fiore got one from her parents and decided to just burn it in the fire. Meanwhile, Alec… got one from his wife, entailing that she wanted to get a divorce for the longest time. Alec's (persistent nature) tendency to want and fix things had only made things drastically worse. Alec can't help but be bummed out by this, but Fiore exchanges discreet words of comfort to him. The challenge had only tested and strengthened their father and daughter-like bond as well as trust in each other. Unfortunately for Alec, he would be eliminated in the next episode as he unintentionally spilled the beans to Fiore during their break time. His trust and lack of awareness when it came to “allies” during the last bit of the competition was what sadly ended his run. Fiore regretted it but she knew she wouldn't stand a chance against him as “Feelings are for weak people”. Alec S1 Summary Overall Alec was a phenomenal villain who filled his role greatly. He started off as somehow we knew little about, but was surprisingly calculating. We became more familiar with the guy after a while. Besides, he provided a wholesome yet crafty powerhouse partnership with Fiore. My point still stands, Alec definitely added on to the ongoing tension and pressure already present towards the finale. It almost made you want to root for the bad guy. At least that's how it was for me. I'd say Alec’s writing never fell off during the entirety of S1. But what about modern-day Alec, is he still any good? Well. It’s complicated. Opinions on S1 Alec If you hadn't noticed already, Alec is my favorite character. Alec is a skillful competitor that strives to do everything he can to win the game. Alec may or may not resort to dirty tactics, but he still gets the job done. The random lore drop for Alec is uncalled for yet it fits him and his description so perfectly. I also think he had a good amount of screentime within S1 so props to the writers for that. To wrap it up, S1 Alec was really pleasant and very refreshing to have as a character. In both writing and design wise, and I just really love the dynamic between Fiore and Alec. They're just really silly. I should also mention, just because he's inherently a bad person doesn't mean ≠ shit writing.
Overview of DCAS Moving on to DCAS! (Disventure Camp All-Stars), DCAS is the third season of Disventure camp. The main gimmick of this season was to welcome 18 of our lovable contestants yet again. It held a promising future as some of the competitors were given a second chance. The prize money had even gone up to 3 million this time. To be completely honest with you, DCAS isn't on par with Season 1. It certainly is “good” depending on what your definition of good is [S1>DCAS>S2]. I personally just think it just falls short of the charm Disventure Camp had. It goes downhill after the 6th episode and the writing feels well, a bit washed out and lazy. Although, the character interactions definitely do salvage this, as well as a few of the challenges. (We at least get to see Fiore and Alec again woohoo!) Alec DCAS Alec DCAS is such an interesting blend of subpar [writings] that I have mixed feelings for. I don't think I have much to say for Alec this time around so I apologize for the mediocre writing/narrative. I'll also share my opinions throughout this too. After Alec had his divorce, it was released to the public he was a deadbeat alcoholic with a secret image leaked. He admitted he was broke and desperately needed the money to get his life together. One thing you immediately tend to notice is the lack of screen time he has. With a bigger cast, it tends to get harder to even it out, which is understandable but it is a bummer. For the majority of the competition he doesn't serve much other than a few lines. Props to Alec for coming up with the villians alliance though. I thoroughly enjoyed it. After skipping ahead to the more recent episodes, Alec finally gets more screentime as the cast gradually gets smaller and smaller. Alec was even able to talk with Connor after getting back in the game. He wants to know how Connor manages to stay bright all time, and how Alec is half the man Connor is. Connor decides to help and cheer up Alec by giving him a tiny talk. Unfortunately, I can't say that it was necessarily “good” that Alec got more screentime. Alec only serves as bait for ConRiya plot. Alec accidently kisses Riya as the two are drunk. Aiden just so happens to catch the two kissing and decides to use it as blackmail. Eventually, Aiden and Jake decided to open up to everyone about the incident that occurred a few nights ago. Connor tries to show a nonchalant display upon hearing this and succeeds. As for Aiden, it didn't cause much of a reaction he was hoping for and only shook things up for Connor. It also ruined the dynamic both Alec and Connor had. We also get to find out what his wife and kid are called (Cheryll and Daniel). How cool, it'll definitely help his sloppy writing. So for the past episode and a half [EP14 and EP15], Alec decides to try and muster up the courage to try and talk to Connor about the kiss with Riya. Connor outright denies his attempts as he pushes him away. After a while, the tension between the two began to cool down as the challenges revealed how Alec actually cared for Connor’s wellbeing. It's only that in EP16, Connor only decides to interact with Alec when he's finally eliminated. Just wow. Alec DCAS Summary Very anticlimactic in terms of character development and character interactions (aside from Connor at the very last minute). Alec has shown to be more lenient towards emotions now that he is in a much more vulnerable position. (Which is very unlike him imo). Considering he had just divorced from his wife and his financial situation. Even though he had a slight crush on Riya, he decided to get over it as it wouldn't help his already crumbling relationship with Connor which he so desperately tried to avoid. I guess Alec was able to patch things up with Connor. Opinions on DCAS Alec Oh boy, I have so many issues with this. Alec was just so out of character in DCAS! He wouldn't give half a rats ass about emotions, I get the man is divorced but the least they could have done was make him get over it. It just doesn't fit his character at all and what he stands for. His writing became very muddy as they sacrificed every ounce of personality from him for ConRiya plot that eventually didn't matter at all. It feels very dragged on and Alec didn't help that case at all. He also did the same mistake again by sticking too close to one person and not expanding his social game. They ruined my goat. All Alec was was some floater that just happened to land close to the finale who didn't do anything this season. We can all just pretend DCAS didn't happen for Alec though. He was robbed, end of story.
If I had a nickel for every time a female character turns antagonistic near the end of the season I’d have 3 nickels, which isn’t much but it’s weird that it happened three times
Idc about jake being the worst character of all for 10 whole episodes We always need someone to hate in the show (Chase, Amy e.g) but why the actual FUCK is RIYA and ALLY still here!! I’d prefer James I’d prefer Lake I’d prefer Miriam I’d prefer Hunter I’d prefer Fiore I’d prefer Ellie (NOT) I’d prefer Tess I’d prefer Ashley I’d prefer Tom I’d prefer Yul I’d prefer Gabby I’d prefer Aiden over these 2 in the final 5 but we are still stuck with Bitch 1 and Bitch 2
i have this huge feeling what they gonna do next is get ally eliminated by making grett vote with the boys against ally since shes been sussing on grett the past episode and started to become annoying or some idk, then grett bc riya ofc is gonna win immunity bc of her plotarmor which makes jake and connor vote out grett bc im pretty sure they aint gonna vote eachother and then in the finale make jake place third and let it be a riya and connor finale two and im extremly scared abt this possibility
honestly i’m glad to see that i’m not the only one who doesn’t like where DCAS is going. it sucks because the other seasons were actually pretty good and well written for the most part but i guess the show got total drama syndrome (not saying total drama is bad, but total drama’s all stars season was bad. maybe it should be called all stars syndrome) 💀
Grett & Connor carried the episode for me. The fact Alec, the same mf who won a puzzle Challenge that was harder in season 1, couldn't do a basic 12 piece puzzle is hilarious in the worst way possible. 4/10 episode, Alec's elimination was just the shitty version of Dan's elimination and I'm not even joking about that.
What about Tom's elimination back in season 1? Alec and Fiore changed their votes to eliminate Tom even though Fiore said that she, Alec and Ellie voting off Jake. Plus, Alec gets voted off when Connor plays the idol on Jake.
This season is honestly awful and easily worse than the first two anyways. I couldn’t care less about whatever happens for the rest of the season lmao.
you know been thinking, why the fuck is Oliver still there he is still suppose to be the morality check for Kristal right, yet he has nothing to say on ryia injuring conner several times, he should at THE LEAST question if they should disqualify ryia and probs at least be a little iffy on the challenge may be, i like oliver but he really wasn't needed this season, like at all hes done nothing and the stuff he has done ie the Emily thing could of been done by any of the other staff or even Kristal her self, well may be besides Trevor i guess, tho may be that could make the whole cancel plot a little funny if it was him
8:34 it actually does kinda feel like this season has had several eliminations just for the sake of being surprising. And yeah. When you don’t give the characters any fucking screentime in their elimination episode it’s gonna be “surprising” alright. Doesn’t make it good!
Tbh a reason a preffer ally over jake is dat jake had to much screen time it feels like half the season is about jake and the other half for all the rest
I'm an Alec lover so I'm probably biased but, HOW DID ALEC NOT WIN THE CHALLENGE?!?! He's portrayed as the smart, analytical one, a bookworm! I'll never understand how a character that's been constantly said to have those traits cannot win a PUZZLE challenge.
If Grett does not win the season istg
He got derailed and butchered this season compared to s1, his writing was incredibly inconsistent this season unfortunately
The moment he tried to care too much about Connor he lost. He got derailed badly
His character has been destroyed.
Not only that but he was literally in the lead the entire challenge up until that point 😭😭
Well...
Ally has become ridiculously obnoxious for no reason. She isn’t supposed to be such an unsympathetic character, but I feel like they’re trying to make even Riya more sympathetic than her! At this point they made me want her to not get a happy ending lol.
I think they thought if she got a similar arc to Riya and have her fight with one of the fandom's most devicive character she'd get all the girl boss tick tok edits and forgetting why people liked her to begin with
I think they're planning a big blow out where Ally blows up at everyone which ultimately causes her to get voted off next!
I don't even know what her arc is anymore lol. They definitely don't know what they are doing with Ally.
I remember when her arc was about haters. Only for it to be forgetten and be brought back when it is convenient.
@@Just-a-random-guy. She's come full circle. She so desperatly wanted to escape the Haters that she became one as she acts to Jake like her Haters do to her.
I feel like the riya perfume thing is supposed to represent how they see their relationship. Connor saw it as something special and she saw it as something to use to benefit herself. Riya is still trying to use him for her self gratification but he’s given up and just sees her with pity.
I kept wondering what made Ally's villain turn so much more annoying than Ellie and Riya's and I realize it's because Ally is just being a petty asshole to Jake. With Ellie and Riya the turn came from them making game moves they thought necessary to win and they made enemies based on those moves. Ally is just doing these moves to make Jake angry and reply with "You mad bro?" It's so unbareable and grating. It really is sad too because I actually liked the idea of Ally turning to the villains when it was Riya planting seeds to corrupt her but now it's just...annoying fighting.
shes a gamer
This is so real. I kept wondering how I loved Ellie and Riya but hate Ally. This just answered my question
I actually really like Ally but you have good points
@@IsahiscoolSame
Fr, Ally is starting to come off more as a bully than anything else
I have to say it sucks Alec is out, but i feel like if he stayed any longer, he would become annoying as hell. Ever since Connor returned, Alec turned into All Stars Gwen. Whinning and crying over not being "a bad person" and wanting Connor to like him. And it feels...just weird? When did Alec ever worry so much over being a good person??
Also? Connor. Why is Connor all he talks about for 4 episodes straight? They barely event spent that much time together during the pre merge. Its just so overkill and Alec just became a shell of his former self. The thing abt him not loving his son..where was that?! I wanted to see THAT.
Instead his character just becane.. "oh riya stop being mean to connor..please like me connor, woe is me"
ur honestly so right. I wish they used the Alec being worried about his relationship with Connor into like Alec having a crush on Connor which is honestly the only reason I could think of for Alec to b acting that way.
@@Oddlylyd Or do some kind of thing about him getting attached to Connor to shield himself from the way he feels about his son.
I don't think they work as a couple i think they would be a lot better as friends in my opinion and instead of Alec having a crush on Connor make Alec like Connor as a friend because Connor was the first and only real and genuine friend that Alec had and the only one who didn't friend Alec just because he wanted something from him that would make their friendship really nice and would explain why Alec cares so much about making things right with Connor@@Oddlylyd

Realll I rlly liked Alec but i so glad he went this episode. I miss s1 Alec who didn't show emotions and acted like he didn't gaf abt anything. He became SO annoying since ep 14. Like can someone tell odd nations that we don't need to feel bad for every single character or not all characters need an arc? Alec is a character who did not need an arc, and if odd nations thought he needed one, they should at least write it well.
They were literally setting up Alec to be the main villain this season and then just pulled the rug from underneath us. And I was actually rooting for Alec as he was one of the very few villains that never got on my nerves this season. Also if we get an Ally vs Jake finale, I'll lose it
When did they set him up to be the main villain
@@samuelb-1406 he tries manipulating Jake against Aiden in episode 2 and was the one to form the villian alliance
@@theownerofthisaccount2521 those are 2 moments. What about episodes 5-10?
@@samuelb-1406 the point is since he was the only character making decent set-up moves such as starting the villain alliance, manipulating Jake to save Fiore as a potential ally, using the villians as shields, helping Ellie not get eliminated, voting out Miriam and Ashley, and telling Riya to manipulate Ally... it wouldnt be a SHOCK to think they may have been setting up Alec as a sneakier main villian, who isnt all confrontational and in your face.
@@samuelb-1406 why the writers seemingly made him do whatever in episode 5-10 is beyond me, but that seems more like they were focused on relationship drama and just not caring about him(and others) after.
THE FACT THAT 20+ YEAR OLDS CANT SOLVE A 12 PIECE PUZZLE IS HONESTLY CRAZY 😭 grett is probably the only character i like that is still in the game, she will probably be eliminated tho because of ally’s bland ass sussing her out 😭😭
Sally yes...
Maybe but some hackers leaked the elimination order and Grett might have a chance to go farther than 6th 👀
I haven't heard the finalists yet so yeah
i hope ally's "plan" backfires and gets her out instead because i do not want that flop in the final 4
WHy is Ally only sussing out Grett NOW?
If grett goes then there will be no good winner
genuinely this is the worst final 5 out of the three seasons. they've butchered so many characters and give the spotlight to those who REALLY DONT NEED IT 😭
Especially Riya
Especially Ally
Right. Most of these characters are already successful, and most of them also went pretty far.
@@ThunderpichuYtJake ep 2-10
Jake was the one who ruined it for me in ep 2-10
Then it was okay, but then the writers decided to assassinate Ally for no reason. She and Riya are now also annoying.
Grett win PLEASE
The fact that Grett is the least problematic is honestly saying something about the rest of the cast lmao. At this point she should just go to the finish line and win that 3 mil.
HIS ELIMINATION WAS SO FUCKING RUSHED IT WAS SO SHITTY 😻 Maybe I’m just salty because I’ve been rooting for him since season 1 and about how they ruined him in all stars but idgaf bring back the old writers ☹️
You get it.
TO BE FAIR Disventure Camp All Stars does do ONE thing right: it does mimic Survivor very well, in the way that their All Star season (Season 8, not HvV, Cambodia, WAW, or even Game Changers) had all of the interesting people go home first, all the people who went far were insanely unlikable, and the tone of the seasons just people being bitter towards one another for no reason.
Yeah, it does.
I have a weird perspective on Ally. I'm polyamorous, so I was ecstatic to see Ally, Hunter, and Tess seemingly end up together as a polycule in the end of Season 2. I also enjoyed watching their storylines unfold. Due to this, I may have looked past how they might have not really had personalities in Season 2, but I didn't care; we got polyamorous representation in a relatively popular webseries.
Then All Stars happened and it pretended they were never poly. And they were writing Hunter and Ally as annoying people who were not good for each other. I didn't get the sense of that at all in Season 2 (besides Hunter kissing Ally before they all talked about their situation but again, that was resolved in the finale). I wanted to keep liking Ally. I held out hope that somehow, Tess, Hunter, and Ally would all make the merge and they would interact again and they would work on their relationship.
But no. They kept writing Ally worse and worse. But I cant bring myself to hate her. I hate how the writers are writing Ally, but I can't hate her. I still love the idea of Ally, of what she could have been, of the poly rep she once was. I wanted so bad for Ally, Hunter, and Tess to have their happy ending, but unfortunately, I don't think that's ever gonna happen.
(Also side note, I remember watching SillyBilly (English VA of Trevor) interviewing like a DC writer or something and when SillyBilly asked about Hunter, Tess, and Ally's relationship the writer said something along the lines of "they would never work out". I could be wrong but I don't even know where to begin trying to find the video. Just gets me thinking, if that's the conclusion you come to, why write in a polyamorous relationship to begin with?)
Anyway, sorry for the longass comment, I have lots of thoughts about Ally. They'll never make me hate you, version of Ally I have in my head.
I agree 100%, it feels like a fanfic where the writers hate Ally and try to make her as unlikeable as possible, completely ruining her character. I get she's not the most interesting and doesn't have much personality, but she feels so OOC just being a complete jerk to everyone because "I don't care what others think", which is so hypocritial since she is not caring what others think so she becomes more likeable to the audience and learns nothing.. Instead of giving her depth it feels like they try to make her as unlikeable as possible so that Jake looks better. Ally had so much potentional, what are the writers doing. 😭
(I was lowkey hoping Ally would help Jake when he failed on the rock challenge because she felt bad, but nope instead let's just bully jake. 🤩)
When they all woke up in the same bed together, I was like "oh shit this is happening" and I was happy for them.
And then they said the cast shoutouts you can buy are canon and Tess' VA said that she and Ally "were like sisters" and I knew it was over. This could have been a fun deconstruction of stupid love triangles that ruin shows like Total Drama and instead of that, they just made Hunter a massive idiot, threw Tess under the bus, and made Ally insufferable.
I'm in the same camp as you where I just can't bring myself to hate Ally because she COULD be a great character that was ruined by bad writing. I go into every elimination expecting her to go because she's been an absolute nothing burger since Tess got voted out. But god is it painful to see this once really positive character just get dragged through the mud for no reason.
I’ve come to realize a lot on why I hate Ally. Personally, I don’t think it’s because she doesn’t have a personality. It’s just she has every flaw Jake had-But is unable to look outside her own viewpoint and just wants the illusion of looking good. Even when she said she’s going to stop caring about what other people think of her, she votes Aiden out purely because he has a better opinion of Jake than her! She’s just morphed into a hater herself. A one-note villain whose goal in the endgame is to JUST get out Jake…which just makes it really obvious that she’s not going to accomplish this goal.
Alec being eliminated here, I guess was coming since the end of episode 15. I wasn’t expecting the totem to be played here, but I do like that it’s a call back to the Tom/Jake downfall, except for Jake, it gets diverted because Connor and Grett help him.
I hope Connor/Grett/Jake are the final 3. They’re the characters everyone’s rooting for, they’re the ones with the best development, and they’re not one-not idiots like Riya and Ally.
i totally agree with you! jake, grett and connor would be my choice for the final 3 and honestly id love jake to win because he really changed
I think it's very funny how worried Riya was. She was totally supposed to be the audience surrogate. Her whole worried experession like she was gonna get voted and then when Alec gets a vote she looks at him in shock. It's so funny how hard they try to pull the rug out from under us.
I never liked Riya and Connor’s relationship because I thought it was weird how Riya was like 20 and Connor was 50
She’s around 31 actually and he’s 51
She's 31
Yeah i always think about It
It's not that weird since they are both over 30.
I found it weird at first but I ended up liking it 🤷♀️
(Then not caring at all in all stars)
It was so tragic when Brian Griffin was unexpectedly hit by a car before the Bus of Losers could pick him up. It was such a sad moment that Riya showed genuine emotional vulnerability and Ally
Well Ally’s too far gone, she was busy Fortnite dancing.
STOOOOOP!!!
I’m convinced that ally is behaving like this because this is what happens when she has no video games
Omg I cannot tell you how much I agree with the shocking vs satisfying elimination thing. Litterally no one saw the past few eliminations coming (except Yul) and NO ONE wanted any of them, I guess Aiden but from what I’ve heard people though Aiden was really decent in that episode. All of the past few elimination have been dogshit and make little sense to boot them.
OMG IM SO HAPPY THAT IM NOT THE ONLY ONE THAT THINKS ALEC HAS BEEN A MESS THIS SEASON.
Alec from episodes 1-4 were good. He was entertaining, cunning, manipulative, and strategic. Then starting in episode 5 he just gets shoved to the background.
Everyone always says “Alec had been so strategic this season” and “Alec ate this season” but…he DIDNT? Alex felt like a backup character in his OWN alliance. Even to the point that it feels like Riya was the leader of the villains alliance despite us being told otherwise.
Riya made the big moves, Riya is the one who put Yul in his place, Riya is the one that talked to Grett. Nowhere am I saying Riya is a great character but Alec has done nothing from episodes 5-12.
Then in episodes 13-16 he was a whiny baby. He didn’t care for strategy or the game. He just cared about Riya and Connor and it’s SO BAD.
I agree with what you said about episodes 13-16, but in episodes 5-10 he wasn't really a background character. He just took a slight step back to help other characters to wrap up their plots. He finished his helping Connor era in episode 6, which actually gave us interactions of them that make sense and are wholesome, and then he was in his bullying Yul and defending Grett era, which was created for humor mostly, and was pretty entertaining to watch. Weird that Grett didn't remember Alec defended her, but whatever. In episode 10-12 he was at his peak since episode 4, he took a step up as a main villain, won two immunities, and helped Gabby win the tie breaker against Tom. Also Fiore and him working together in e11 was so good. It was all great, until they decided to throw it all away for a pathetic story about Alec realizing he's shity and doesn't act in-character for 4 episodes straight, until his boot.
Every time I watch your DCAS reviews, I get more creeped out because I’m gonna have nightmares about the Alec scene. 😭
Hehehehehe >:)
Ally and Riya need to be gone yesterday tbh. It’s not even that I hate them anymore, they’re just so *boring* . They actively drag down the quality of the otherwise-good quality of the final 5. Granted, Alec would too, but at least we wouldn’t practically have “Riya” and “younger Riya”. Grett’s plan is smart, but boy is it going to be a grating few episodes, even in the best case scenario where Riya and Ally are the next boots.
@mandu859 if you’re entertained by her, then I’m super happy for you. I’m glad you were able to find enjoyment in an aspect of the season that I dislike, but I’m just not captivated by anything she does with others and especially on her own. She feels like she has no substance behind being a “mean girl” character and she has no secondary elements to her character that allow her static characterization to stand strong like others of her archetype.
Alec is my favorite character and his story was not concluded. He actually needed the money too. Only carries are left 😭😭
At the end he said see you next time so maybe it isn't the end for him
Alec became a whiney all stars Gwen these past episodes, he was already getting annoying..couldnt stand him wallowing over Connor disliking him any more
alec was so irrelevant all season just being a plot device to strengthen riya and connor. he’s literally aiden but alcoholic and also whines about his ex wife cheryl constantly
I do NOT want that child neglecter to get any money :333
We have a CEO, an actress, an influencer, and a streamer in the final 5.

these last few episodes honestly feels like Outlaster or something on Roblox with like overdramatic role-players.
Plays outlaster while looking at this comment
total roblox drama in a nuthselll
yeah i agree with most of your points honestly, i would also like to point out that the challenge felt too basic to me and lasted like 5 minutes in my head. the only person i REALLY want to win right now is grett, who is in my opinion the best character in the final 5
pre merge dcas>>>>>wtvr this ep is
I would even say the pre merge is worse, wasted characters, unsatisfying eliminations back to back to back, unfulfilled plots, boring challenges with like 7 of the challenges just being the same challenge over and over again, bad build up the plots we actually have now and just overall questionable writing that followed up towards the merge
We’ve had a spree of bad episodes now. We’re screwed.
we were cooked from the beginning, it's the allstars curse
@@yureiii1real
@@yureiii1question is td all stars or dc all stars
@@Itsnotramen it's both
Another problem I have is that people that the viewers CLEARLY liked get eliminated for character the viewers don’t really like or are neutral it’s drives me insane like I bet Alec is the one of the best remaining after Episode 15 along with Grett and what do they do eliminate him when Ally and Riya are hated on the daily it’s doesn’t make sense to me
Man the question I always have is why didn't they do another 2 or 3 seasons with original character before doing all star cause then instead of have a character like Ally who's blander the a bowl of corn flake, we could have had more interesting characters and a better more satisfying plot.
i think that jake was so unlikeable in the early parts of the season but the writers wanted him to win and need to make everyone else even more unlikeable than jake so we root for him. when the finale is jake ally and riya then who else are we supposed to root for
WHY DID THEY HAVE TO ELIMINATE ALEC, WHYYYYYYYYYYY
Brian Griffin got out nooooo
I'm sad.
I think the thing that really pisses me off about Connor and Riya's relationship is it literally could've been resolved in the season two finale, either have them end up together or have Connor break up with her there after seeing her true colours, allowing for a pretty good bit of karma for the villain's actions.
Jake and Ally I think are meant to be a compelling rivalry but let's compare to something like Leshawna and Heather's from season one. Leshawna and Heather's arguments happened quite a lot but were few and far between but these arguments are always justified. Their rivalry also has an affect on other characters, Lindsay getting a chance to do something to spite Heather in the cooking episode, it being the driving factor for Leshawna to want to eliminate Trent so bad when he kisses Heather the list goes on. Ally and Jake on the other just happens whenever the two are on screen together and I mean I guess you could argue it contributed to Ashley's elimination but that's a bit if a stretch I'd say that was more him and Aiden's rivalry.
Then Grett while she's pretty good now, she's placed in a situation where she's surrounded by absolutely atrocious characters so it being fun to see her interact with others is unlikely not to mention she should've returned to her root much sooner hell if Grett and Yul broke up earlier on, seeing the two try every strategy to get each other eliminated could be really cool.
Anyways I yapped too hard rest in peace Brian and fucking bazinga or something idk
My thoughts exactly friend Screwdriver.
Literally, the whole episode with Ally, I was like: "Is... Is this how people felt when Riya had that heel turn villain moment?
I haven't even watched the fist two seasons, but I feel like half of them don't even deserve to be here.
- Riya's already made final 2 and is just Connor-obsessed at this point. Plus the writers can't seem to pick whether or not they want to give Riya a redemption or make her go full mean girl.
- Ally is slowly becoming the toxic haters she so desperately despised and is annoying as hell.
- As much as I've grown on Jake, I don’t feel like he deserves to win after how emotionally and recklessly he played in the first half of the season.
The only ones I'm even thinking about rooting for now are Grett and Connor. I would add Alec but... you know... he's gone now. 😒
Fr.
Is it just me or was the voice delivery within the episode weirdly off?
12:24 lech getting more and more terrifying with each new single disventure camp episode is such a funny gag that I really love
Please make each next entry’s ending more creepy than the last LOL
>:)
Omg eggy enjoyer is here. Hello
1: Eggy fan, hello.
2: I’d enjoy if every episode it got more and more unnerving, that would be funny
@@Lechgangadd an actual demon that is a part of the Bible lore or something and make it look very accurate
Disventure camp antagonists fell off after Ellie and Yul were gone imo
Those two are peak disventure camp characters
The characters who got elimated before the merge was got lucky, they're characters stayed the same ( except tess and Ashely who are really just support characters in this show) and they didnt get derailed. Im glad that lake, james, Miriam and even fiore didnt get derailed, because they are one of my personal favorites
Alec was my favorite character and they really did him dirty 😭
At this point Disventure Camp is just a “so bad it’s good show.”
Alec was done so dirty
I wanted Alec to win and I feel riya woulda been the best boot for this episode
Alec was so robbed
At this moment, I think that the bickering that Ally and Jake have is like the one Nickel and Ballon (Inanimate Insanity) had, but WAY WORSE, I believe that at this point, every time that they argue makes me want to log out of the video and straight up, stop watching DCAS, and it makes it worse as a fan of the series.
At this point I dont care about Riya or Connor getting out or ''trying'' to fix their nonexistent love for eachother, they are just too inmature to try and do sh*t to save their relationship or just stop talking to eachother (mostly Riya).
I was rooting for Alec and Grett to make to the finale but...
SPOILERS!!!!!
THEY HAD TO GET ONE OF THE DECENT CHARACTERS OUT OF THE GAME, so Alec's elimination is not one of my favorites, I get it, they had to make it to show that Grett is taking the strings of the game and she's trying to play more serious and all, but they could of done THE SAME by eliminating Riya, and have a scene between Connor and her talking about the crap they've done in their and i quote, ''ReLatIONshIp''. but well they already eliminated Alec and we can't do sh*t about it.
The best part of the episode was Trevor and Emily (Even though they had only one scene in the episode), Grett and kind of the ending...
Same with count and fiery. At least they poke fun at it. This is more “serious” and yet feels like 5 year olds fighting
2:24
"thats like asking me to feel bad for yul"
ooooooohhhhh foreshadowing!!!!!!!!!
I’ve noticed that episodes have been going downhill ever since Yul left………..
new writers is the reason
also i loved alec from season 1!! like everything about his character and personality was sooo good esp the duo between him and fiore. i can understand how his wife divorcing him would affect his mental state/health, but it feels like he used none of his intellect, tricks, and manipulation to further himself in the game esp with the recent episodes. and how suddenly he had a thing with riya, but thats cause he was drunk...idk i felt like that was also supposed to keep riya's relevance between her dynamics with connor too
The all stars curse continues.
I find it funny how back in the early days of All Stars, I was one of the few people who saw where Ally's character was going from the beginning. No one wanted to believe me. Now I sit back, and laugh. The fools didn't listen😂😂
My main problem with the season is that they are practically forcing you into rooting for Jake? He had tons of interactions with everyone, tons of screentime and plots, while other characters got wasted, early eliminated or villanized just to give him anotyer plot (coff coff ally). At this point I expect Grett to go 5th so that the final 4 will be the most boring thing ever happened in 3 seasons, good job onc, yoy will never make me like him
*Reads the title*
Don't you mean it has "GONE DOWNHILL"?"
*Crickets chirp*
I'll see myself out. XD
I clapped
At this point Im js waiting for the tom x jake spinoff
I honestly have to agree Alec’s elimination came the fuck out of nowhere,and it sucks cause idk how the hell riya survive
Think that dcas is kinda going down a BFDI s1 path. The last few episodes after around episode 20 it kinda went downhill. hope the last 5 episodes will be better
I actually just started BDFI a couple days ago with my brother. Tennis Ball just got eliminated, I don’t remember what episode that is. So this statement is a bit…worrisome
@theownerofthisaccount2521 oh uhhh yeah be prepared for the ending of BFDI. I remember that episode pretty well and it dosent really get better
@@theownerofthisaccount2521it’s basically only the last 2 episodes honestly I don’t think they knew how to write a actual finale yet at that age
Connor should've been eliminated because he doesn't have a ponytail.
--I can say Alec is my favorite character in the series, but god has the past few episodes for him have been ROUGH.
The writing for him has just been awful since like episode 14, (As an Alec lover this is hard to say)
He genuinely could have won the season if the whole Riya-Connor plot didn’t happen, I personally think Alec was the contestant that deserved the money the most, and it SUCKS to see what the writing for him became in the past few episodes.
--I am so SICK of Ally, she has been genuinely terrible for the last couple of episodes, she has been so derailed. I personally think she should have gone home instead of Tom because she has gotten so unbelievably bad.
--After this episode I think Jake or Grett is personally who I am rooting for, Grett has been pretty good this season, And as of right now she definitely deserves the money the most, as for Jake he has grown a lot this season And I would not be mad at him winning at all, plus he has been very good these past couple episodes.
--For Connor I personally wouldn’t be mad if he won, Just a little disappointed. I personally think he shouldn’t win mostly because he is only still in because of comebacks. Since he skipped a large portion of the game I don’t think it would feel right if he won, But he was really solid in this episode.
--Riya has gotten SO unbelievably bad, personally she wasn’t that bad in the first half of All Stars, (Not the best but still) I think she should have been gone a while ago as I feel it is too late for a redemption arc.
8:01 Alec is my favourite character, and i was just sad they didnt give him more for his final episode :(
I had a dream the other night where Alec gets his "Sundae, Muddy Sundae". Alec gets exposed as a traitor after his elimination chart is exposed and the remaining contestants lose trust in him. Chris fucks around with the challenge at the last minute, just as Alec is about to win. Thanks to Chris, Alec refuses to eat the sundae. As a result, he gets eliminated with 3-2 votes. Thanks to this episode, Alec was left with no chance of redemption.
I wish, in that scene with Alec and Connor, Alec could bretrayed the villain alliance and voted out priya. And maybe Jake at start doesn't trust but then slowly he undestand that Alec change. And since the totem wouldn't be used maybe connor could be in dangerous situation in the next challenge alone and there was only grett to save him but in return to give her the totem so she can use it and go out one of the Connor's alliance (so That all the villains cannot be eliminated at once)
Priya? Wrong show.
@@Maw0whoops i meant riya..my bad
You know what would have made this an infinitely better episode? Change the challenge from a dumb parkour puzzle contest to a group therapy session. No big explosive challenge. Just a group of people sitting around a table talking. Whoever shows the most progress by the end wins invincibility.
Have the "therapist" be Nina as a tongue-in-cheek joke about how disgruntled kids use therapy dolls to open up better and then go one by one deconstructing what makes these characters tick and why they are what they are.
Jake got most of his therapy out of the way already with Ashley and he can be used as a "model citizen" for the others to look to for inspiration and he's given immunity out of the gate for already trying to better himself.
This of course sets off Ally, who discusses her streaming career and being bombarded with hate. Maybe she has unresolved feelings for Tess and Hunter she wants to get off her chest? Or maybe she feels worse off for being the third wheel in their group and knows that most people prefer them to her.
Grett can use this as an opportunity to talk about her mother's expectations for her, her abusive relationship with Yul, and her new desire to get healthy for herself and not for the pleasure of others.
Conner can talk more about his feeling inadequate for inheriting a company, but most of his lines are about Riya and her gross attitude. Riya could actually show a little emotion and we could dive into that "Riya is a complex character" tweet that got sent out to defend her inconsistent writing. Of course she TRIES to lie through her teeth the whole time, but she does break occasionally and actually show some real emotion and regret for becoming what she has.
And then there's Alec. He didn't get his arc resolved whatsoever before he left so this could be a perfect time to send an open letter to his ex-wife. Say how he feels. Say stuff he couldn't say to her in person. And then talk about his kid, who the lie detector says he doesn't really love. It's normal for some parents to not fully love their kids. Maybe they only had the kid to save the relationship and he harbors a very suppressed resentment for it.
Riya's acting causes her to win, despite a lot of it being BS apologies but also some actual self-growth. Alec's story, however, causes the rest of the cast (who are all younger and not parents) to turn against him for thinking he's a bad dad and it becomes justification for his elimination. All except Conner who is older and understands that, despite not being a parent himself, being a parent is difficult and there's a lot that comes with it.
After he's eliminated at the end, Alec tells his son he does love him and he regrets dragging him through the mud with the divorce. He knows he could be a better dad and no matter what happens, he loves him and he's going to do better now that the show is over.
But hey, what do I know? I only wrote multiple novels and actually consider the mental health aspect of fictional characters when writing them and how therapy is actually a good thing once and a while for overcoming trauma and character flaws.
Maybe you are right after looking at all the adults who are struggling to put 12 freaking pieces of puzzle. Seriously, Alec, I expect better than you.
7:28 they dont want to be predictable with who is going out, if they were to get like 80% of the episode
Not to mention that Riya tried to kiss Alec but he pushed her away… she literally almost SA’d him.
No. Do not say it like that.🤡
@suprisedbeeiscute Well, it kind of is. Alec pushed her away.
@@PreppyBaldzuko No. It is not..
@@PreppyBaldzukoI think you meant “sexual harassment”. SA is kinda what you said, but an addition to unwanted touching and groping.
I started BDFI season 1 with my brother and despite being a 12 year old series that was created by I believe actual children, I am way more attached and emotionally invested in that than the majority of the All Stars cast here. After Pen left I dread every elimination because I love all the remaining cast.
Here, I just groan because why on earth is Riya still here? She can’t win so why keep a finalist around this long? It’s the same thing that was complained about with Priya(even the names rhyme) but even worse!
i agree, im 13 and goodness i cant STAND ANY OF THEM. I mean jake is cool (and the only character I like), and also grett. but the others?! AFKLFJKLDFJLKSDFJKLSDF
so annoyingg
It was made by 2 children
not sure if a cartoon made by 2 twins who were around 13-years old at the time should be compared with dc
That’s just a you thing. BFDI is garbage.
The difference between Priya and riya is Priya was made to be good at total drama plus Owen Heather Zoey and Duncan also made final 4 after/before winning with DC riya has been doing the most idiotic moves and has had such bad plot armor it's insulting
As an Alec Stan and a huge Alec fan, I am sure disappointed with this episode and elimination. I actually had to accept Alecs' downfall because I thought he would actually be great again, but this was just pathetic. DCAS geting worse is very noticeable and it just needs to be said cause my god. I get the positives and what makes sense for Alecs elim, But I just dont it makes sense and I dont think they gave my man justice. Grett isnt a villain or whatever that I can get behind and these other characters arnt really cutting it even though I love Jake and Riya, but wtf is their story rn. I just dont care anymore, Im going to finish this season and not look back.
You know it's bad when even lechgang didn't like how Brian Griffin got eliminated😭😭😭
S1 finale: oldest vs youngest
S2 finale: most famous
S3 finale: either the worst characters or the ones with the most development
the necks are too long i just noticed i can't unsee it help
I like seeing Jake and Ally fight
I'm so disappointed of the final 5 because we had so many good characters like Tess and Lake but they decided to make Riya and Ally in here
Alec was only good in the kiss episode honestly
Also I feel like the writers are woke and just dont have the ability to judge if someone is a good or bad person
also i’m so glad i’m not the only one who found alec’s elimination weird
The lore expands
I mean the title speaks for itself LOL
This is the effect of week ep
You think it will be the best then you lose it
Wait till the season in full then watch it again
I was praying to god Connor and Jake would vote for Riya but they didn’t, WHY WOULD THEY VOTE FOR ALEC-
God Alec is my favorite character and it hurts so badly to see him tampered with like this. They made him a floater who just so happens to almost land in finals, in DCAS as he only serves as fodder/bait for the ConRiya plot which ultimately doesn't matter anymore. Bloody hell, even the trailer made it obvious he was going to get eliminated!
Imo, DCAS fell off right after Episode 6! Writing got sloppy in these recent episodes and Alec is a testament to that.
I wrote a short essay analyzing Season 1 Alec and why it was Alec's peak. Whilst comparing and contrasting DCAS Alec if anyone is interested in the replies below.
(Please do take it with a grain of salt and I apologize in advance for it being quite rusty)
What is Disventure Camp?
Disventure Camp (formerly known as Adventure Camp/Total Drama Adventure) is a popular web series composed by both Jared Madrigal and Robert Castallanos. It depicts some elements that gravitate towards renowned, and prominent shows such as Total Drama Island and Survivor. It is currently ongoing as it spans out to a total of four seasons, and is held within Camp Tipiskaw in Canada. Disventure Camp takes on the role of using the game format from Survivor whilst utilizing Total Drama Island's animation style. As aforementioned, it used to be known as Adventure Camp/TDA. Undoubtedly, this season was notable due to its compelling plot and use of lore from TDI, deriving it as its own plot (even as far as to introduce some characters from the show to deepen the plot). Not to mention the lackluster, choppy animation while still hosting thrilling character designs. This season is known as the beta season, which was originally released back in 2021. Now back to DC. Well, what is Disventure Camp anyway? You may be asking yourself that very question right now, or not. Either way, it's a web series that highlights its cast as the prime hook, as well as the prize being an absurd amount of money, which could potentially be life-changing for some. These contestants must face challenges that test their willpower, smarts, and strengths to see who'll ultimately come out on top. Furthermore, they'll even have to socialize, which is yet another factor in this competition if you want to make it far at all. Having enemies and allies in this game is no joke, one wrong move or acting recklessly can eventually lead a contestant plummeting towards their demise and getting booted off.
Overview of DC S1
First of all, I want to analyze and discuss one of the best, if not BEST the season of Disventure Camp as of now. That being Season 1 of Disventure Camp, the predecessor following the Beta season. S1 of DC excels at everything it stands for. Being an introductory season and setting the standard and atmosphere for the upcoming seasons is highly crucial. Its adept and nifty ideology behind it all allows for the writing to fully flourish its potential and plot. Yet, it still manages to set the bar high. The character interactions and the highly innovative, ingenious challenges presented each episode is what truly makes up Disventure Camp. In that case, I truly can't help but mention the originality of the cast in terms of personality and designs, whilst still simultaneously reflecting some traits and tropes we constantly see in TDI in DCs own style. With this in mind, the zany yet amusing, oppressive tension continues to get amplified by each following episode which adds on to further reason why this season is considered the best one. As well as the most unprecedented twists sprinkled throughout the series. I can't help but admire and discern how the writing manages to make an everlasting impression whenever a cast member is voted off.
In short, its oddly visionary pioneering, and nerve-wracking pace does a phenomenal job at executing a hook that manages to latch onto us viewers and usher a riveting nature.
Analyzing Alec
Whenever I personally try to think of a superb, and flawlessly written character from the cast, one of my answers would be Alec without a doubt, (if we ignore DCAS ever happened). Why is it Alec you may ask? I definitely plan on elaborating further as to why. Alec is such a conflicted yet compelling character I absolutely adore.
Alec S1
Whenever Alec was first introduced in Season 1, he wasn't somebody who stood out or appealed to the audience, rather some guy who tends to be cunning, surprisingly mature, and spends his leisure reading. Albeit, I will admit however that Alec's social game wasn't as strong when comparing him to other contestants. He tends to stick to an iota of people if possible. Additionally, Alec tends to relish close bonds and alliances even if he doesn’t let us on to this knowledge. You could tell Alec is highly considerate of relationships [even if he doesn't admit it] with others but only plays strategically. Only his beliefs determine his actions/next moves. (Alec managed to get along just fine with Fiore, but their bond soon evolved into a father-like-daughter trope. He would even go as far as to say they both were the dream team). We can see this due to his interactions with (mainly) Fiore, Ellie and Grett. Alec plays it smart which I can come to appreciate, and it isn't as reckless or stubborn as the other characters. As the episodes go on, we soon come to find out he has a son (family). Which comes off as slightly bewildering but surely it isn't relevant in further episodes?
Either way, Alec still remains as an enigma to all. It's this point that we realize that Alec likes to put some thought before acting upon it as he's coolly.
He remains serene and collected for most of the duration of the competition that is, until it's unveiled through Fiore that Alec is going through some marital issues with his wife. Alec seldom brings it up but on the occasion, he confides in Fiore to talk about the marital issues he has. Hell, Alec had even projected his thoughts to Fiore about how he “wished his son was more like her” (considering Fiore is a child prodigy). We can only blindly make assumptions regarding what type of person he is outside of the competition. The fact remains that he had humiliated his son on national live television. What could he have truly meant by that?
What were the implications of that? We can only aimlessly ponder and make educated guesses about Alec's life outside of this game which makes him that much more intriguing. Moreover, even if the writers revealed this about Alec, he still remains a gritty and resourceful contender without ruining his character at all. Towards the last few episodes we start to notice how Alec and Fiore's strategies fluctuate on how to tackle the others. (As a result, this occurs with Alec’s relationships with others as well). The indefatigable powerhouse duo became some of the main antagonists against most others when they made the merge. (With the exception of Grett and Ellie but then the two soon fall short as they were deceived).
The dream team came up with rather engrossing schemes on how to boot out the others. Some of these tactics involved lying and manipulation and they completely worked like a charm. You can't deny the fact that Alec is rather insightful and able, even if what he did was wrong.
In the third to last episode of S1 [EP11], the contestants got to receive a letter from home. Fiore got one from her parents and decided to just burn it in the fire. Meanwhile, Alec… got one from his wife, entailing that she wanted to get a divorce for the longest time. Alec's (persistent nature) tendency to want and fix things had only made things drastically worse. Alec can't help but be bummed out by this, but Fiore exchanges discreet words of comfort to him. The challenge had only tested and strengthened their father and daughter-like bond as well as trust in each other. Unfortunately for Alec, he would be eliminated in the next episode as he unintentionally spilled the beans to Fiore during their break time. His trust and lack of awareness when it came to “allies” during the last bit of the competition was what sadly ended his run. Fiore regretted it but she knew she wouldn't stand a chance against him as “Feelings are for weak people”.
Alec S1 Summary
Overall Alec was a phenomenal villain who filled his role greatly. He started off as somehow we knew little about, but was surprisingly calculating. We became more familiar with the guy after a while. Besides, he provided a wholesome yet crafty powerhouse partnership with Fiore. My point still stands, Alec definitely added on to the ongoing tension and pressure already present towards the finale. It almost made you want to root for the bad guy. At least that's how it was for me. I'd say Alec’s writing never fell off during the entirety of S1. But what about modern-day Alec, is he still any good? Well. It’s complicated.
Opinions on S1 Alec
If you hadn't noticed already, Alec is my favorite character. Alec is a skillful competitor that strives to do everything he can to win the game. Alec may or may not resort to dirty tactics, but he still gets the job done. The random lore drop for Alec is uncalled for yet it fits him and his description so perfectly. I also think he had a good amount of screentime within S1 so props to the writers for that. To wrap it up, S1 Alec was really pleasant and very refreshing to have as a character. In both writing and design wise, and I just really love the dynamic between Fiore and Alec. They're just really silly. I should also mention, just because he's inherently a bad person doesn't mean ≠ shit writing.
Overview of DCAS
Moving on to DCAS! (Disventure Camp All-Stars), DCAS is the third season of Disventure camp. The main gimmick of this season was to welcome 18 of our lovable contestants yet again. It held a promising future as some of the competitors were given a second chance. The prize money had even gone up to 3 million this time. To be completely honest with you, DCAS isn't on par with Season 1. It certainly is “good” depending on what your definition of good is [S1>DCAS>S2]. I personally just think it just falls short of the charm Disventure Camp had. It goes downhill after the 6th episode and the writing feels well, a bit washed out and lazy. Although, the character interactions definitely do salvage this, as well as a few of the challenges. (We at least get to see Fiore and Alec again woohoo!)
Alec DCAS
Alec DCAS is such an interesting blend of subpar [writings] that I have mixed feelings for. I don't think I have much to say for Alec this time around so I apologize for the mediocre writing/narrative. I'll also share my opinions throughout this too.
After Alec had his divorce, it was released to the public he was a deadbeat alcoholic with a secret image leaked. He admitted he was broke and desperately needed the money to get his life together.
One thing you immediately tend to notice is the lack of screen time he has. With a bigger cast, it tends to get harder to even it out, which is understandable but it is a bummer. For the majority of the competition he doesn't serve much other than a few lines. Props to Alec for coming up with the villians alliance though. I thoroughly enjoyed it.
After skipping ahead to the more recent episodes, Alec finally gets more screentime as the cast gradually gets smaller and smaller. Alec was even able to talk with Connor after getting back in the game. He wants to know how Connor manages to stay bright all time, and how Alec is half the man Connor is. Connor decides to help and cheer up Alec by giving him a tiny talk. Unfortunately, I can't say that it was necessarily “good” that Alec got more screentime. Alec only serves as bait for ConRiya plot.
Alec accidently kisses Riya as the two are drunk. Aiden just so happens to catch the two kissing and decides to use it as blackmail. Eventually, Aiden and Jake decided to open up to everyone about the incident that occurred a few nights ago. Connor tries to show a nonchalant display upon hearing this and succeeds. As for Aiden, it didn't cause much of a reaction he was hoping for and only shook things up for Connor. It also ruined the dynamic both Alec and Connor had. We also get to find out what his wife and kid are called (Cheryll and Daniel). How cool, it'll definitely help his sloppy writing.
So for the past episode and a half [EP14 and EP15], Alec decides to try and muster up the courage to try and talk to Connor about the kiss with Riya. Connor outright denies his attempts as he pushes him away. After a while, the tension between the two began to cool down as the challenges revealed how Alec actually cared for Connor’s wellbeing.
It's only that in EP16, Connor only decides to interact with Alec when he's finally eliminated. Just wow.
Alec DCAS Summary
Very anticlimactic in terms of character development and character interactions (aside from Connor at the very last minute). Alec has shown to be more lenient towards emotions now that he is in a much more vulnerable position. (Which is very unlike him imo). Considering he had just divorced from his wife and his financial situation. Even though he had a slight crush on Riya, he decided to get over it as it wouldn't help his already crumbling relationship with Connor which he so desperately tried to avoid. I guess Alec was able to patch things up with Connor.
Opinions on DCAS Alec
Oh boy, I have so many issues with this. Alec was just so out of character in DCAS! He wouldn't give half a rats ass about emotions, I get the man is divorced but the least they could have done was make him get over it. It just doesn't fit his character at all and what he stands for. His writing became very muddy as they sacrificed every ounce of personality from him for ConRiya plot that eventually didn't matter at all. It feels very dragged on and Alec didn't help that case at all. He also did the same mistake again by sticking too close to one person and not expanding his social game. They ruined my goat. All Alec was was some floater that just happened to land close to the finale who didn't do anything this season. We can all just pretend DCAS didn't happen for Alec though. He was robbed, end of story.
The title of the episode is an accurate representation of this season
Honestly this season is making me want Trevor and Emily to cancel Disventure Camp
DCAS is becoming Total Drama All Stars at this point.
real
If I had a nickel for every time a female character turns antagonistic near the end of the season I’d have 3 nickels, which isn’t much but it’s weird that it happened three times
Idc about jake being the worst character of all for 10 whole episodes We always need someone to hate in the show (Chase, Amy e.g) but why the actual FUCK is RIYA and ALLY still here!!
I’d prefer James
I’d prefer Lake
I’d prefer Miriam
I’d prefer Hunter
I’d prefer Fiore
I’d prefer Ellie (NOT)
I’d prefer Tess
I’d prefer Ashley
I’d prefer Tom
I’d prefer Yul
I’d prefer Gabby
I’d prefer Aiden over these 2 in the final 5 but we are still stuck with Bitch 1 and Bitch 2
If Connor, Jake or Grett doesn't win, I'm going to be pissed off!
i have this huge feeling what they gonna do next is get ally eliminated by making grett vote with the boys against ally since shes been sussing on grett the past episode and started to become annoying or some idk, then grett bc riya ofc is gonna win immunity bc of her plotarmor which makes jake and connor vote out grett bc im pretty sure they aint gonna vote eachother and then in the finale make jake place third and let it be a riya and connor finale two and im extremly scared abt this possibility
honestly i’m glad to see that i’m not the only one who doesn’t like where DCAS is going. it sucks because the other seasons were actually pretty good and well written for the most part but i guess the show got total drama syndrome (not saying total drama is bad, but total drama’s all stars season was bad. maybe it should be called all stars syndrome) 💀
I expected Riya to go and it would’ve felt way more satisfying than the Alec elimination (there was no build up or pay off to his elimination)
Grett & Connor carried the episode for me.
The fact Alec, the same mf who won a puzzle Challenge that was harder in season 1, couldn't do a basic 12 piece puzzle is hilarious in the worst way possible.
4/10 episode, Alec's elimination was just the shitty version of Dan's elimination and I'm not even joking about that.
What about Tom's elimination back in season 1? Alec and Fiore changed their votes to eliminate Tom even though Fiore said that she, Alec and Ellie voting off Jake. Plus, Alec gets voted off when Connor plays the idol on Jake.
Can we all agree, that Tess should of still been here and won
She was one of the only characters(with Grett and Connor) who got better this season
i'm an Alec fan and he was robbed.. him and Aiden caught insane strays
ALEC, LOOK OUT! 🚗💨
So was the last like 5-6 minutes not you?
And did Alec just get Brian Griffined?
That was not me :(
This season is honestly awful and easily worse than the first two anyways. I couldn’t care less about whatever happens for the rest of the season lmao.
you know been thinking, why the fuck is Oliver still there he is still suppose to be the morality check for Kristal right, yet he has nothing to say on ryia injuring conner several times, he should at THE LEAST question if they should disqualify ryia and probs at least be a little iffy on the challenge may be, i like oliver but he really wasn't needed this season, like at all hes done nothing and the stuff he has done ie the Emily thing could of been done by any of the other staff or even Kristal her self, well may be besides Trevor i guess, tho may be that could make the whole cancel plot a little funny if it was him
Alec look out.
Sigma grindset getting that ending scene done. Popped off a little too hard oops.
Rip Brian Griffin 🙏🙏🕊️🕊️🕊️♥️♥️♥️ Lost but will always be forgotten
@@cooldude4831 BRIAN LOOK OUT
Alec is my fav character 😅 so I appreciate it this video. Like I wanted my guy to win.
R.I.P Brian Griffin 😭😭😭😭😭
8:34 it actually does kinda feel like this season has had several eliminations just for the sake of being surprising. And yeah. When you don’t give the characters any fucking screentime in their elimination episode it’s gonna be “surprising” alright. Doesn’t make it good!
Your heart will forever be broken
Nothing will be able to help with the ach
In times like this we need Gabby 😞
This episode made me drop DCAS until the finale happens
Exactly. Like bye see you August 31st.
I thought it couldn't get worse than episode 10 but no, they managed it
If Riya isn't out next episode, I'm actually going to cringe out more than Duncan's elimination in AS
Tbh a reason a preffer ally over jake is dat jake had to much screen time it feels like half the season is about jake and the other half for all the rest
