Description
Total Drama Action.The season that went straight to Hell and back.
-Trent's character gone crazy for no real reason aside from breaking up a couple I actually enjoyed. (although I am a HUGE fan of the new DuncanxGwen <3)
-Courtney turned into an extremely irritating crazy psycho whiny bitch in need of serious anger management. Honestly, I preferred HEATHER over her that season.
-Gwen getting slammed for everything, when she did NOTHING. Gwen wanted to play fair and square; it was TRENT who screwed everything over for her. (It was noble, but only in theory)
-My biggest anger-burst cause, however, is the ending. REALLY, Duncan? Courtney makes you stay up all night reviewing a million-page contract all about what's wrong with YOU in her perspective and how to better YOURSELF to make a relationship work, and even after wisely dumping her, you take her back after ONE KISS?! (Can you tell i'm Anti-DuncanxCourtney? xD)
Ugh, I could go on and on about the failings of this season, but it would take up a LOT of space. I think we all have our bones to pick with this season.
But hey, leave me some comments with your opinions! I'd love to have some good wholesome (anti-fighting) discussions with people!
All Total Drama Action characters belong to Fresh TV and Teletoon, not me. I'm too broke. xD

I agree with all you guys, Gwen got completely screwed over in TDA and TDWT. And about Courney, if I prefer HEATHER over you then you know you're an evil sadistic bitch. The only time Gwen and Courtney really bonded was in the episode of TDWT in London. (One of my favorite episodes in the whole thing, second only to the horror movie episode in TDA.) The rest of the show Courtney was trying to KILL Gwen. And on a completely unrelated note: TDA broke up my favorite couple (IzzyxOwen FTW.) Lastly, I HATE TDA for turning friendly innocent Trent into an Obsessive Wackjob. All I can say is that Total Drama better get its act together or I'm gonna start watching stuff like Adventure Time because that has a more solid plot, and only when THAT happens will the apocalypse come. This is Jack, your Total Drama watching Deviant, and that's all I have to say about that.

You mean TDWT broke up Owen and Izzy. xD
The worst part is everyone is siding with Courtney on the issue, instead of Gwen. Like they all just ignore how badly she treated Duncan, which led to him having interest in/kissing Gwen in the first place.
Even the show itself favored Courtney over her. I thought Gwen might have a bigger part, but it was all about her. That REALLY irked me. ]x
Yeah, there just...wasn't anything good about TDA, except that my favorite male character won. That's about it.
π: 0 β©: 1
EXACTLY my point, Duncan left Courtney because she's posessive and overly authoritative whereas Gwen is more relaxed and down to Earth. But NO, everyone else had to treat it like Gwen came on to Duncan, when it was the other way around. I really hated how everyone just turned on Gwen even though she was the victim in all this. I mean, yeah Drama IS a part of the show's title, but TDA carried it a bit too far. I do agree that the only redeeming quality of the show (although it is a minor one) was that Duncan won. And holy crap, thanks for catching my little error there, I wrote all that at like 3:30 AM while I was on a Milk Dud (TM) induced sugar rush. XD Oh and Happy 4th of July!

I don't think everyone was ruined. Cody really came into his own as a character that season, and we got to see more of Noah and Tyler too. Both of which I enjoyed.
But there were things I can mention disliking, myself, actually, now that I think about it. :/
I have to disagree with you about Gwen. She is NOT a pathetic slut, by ANY means. She's a victim of unfair hatred. The only thing she's responsible for in TDA was breaking up with Trent. The rest got blown out of proportion by Justin and suddenly everyone hated her for cheating, which she never did. She was trying to be fair and square.
And now DxC fans are calling for an axe to her head over what happened in TDWT, which i'm honestly annoyed at. :/
Sluts don't feel guilt or remorse, both of which Gwen DID express. She knew she hurt Courtney and destroyed their budding friendship. She felt bad. But, she was realistic enough to admit that, despite that, she had an undeniable attraction to Duncan.
Shuld she have handled it differently? Of course. But what realistic teenager would handle anything maturely? It's called, "Heat of the Moment" for a reason.
Courtney. Oh God, don't get me started on her. She was SLIGHTLY better than she was in TDA, but not by much. Especially with her treatment of Duncan. I'm GLAD their relationship ended. NO ONE would EVER realistically tolerate a controlling and possessive demon like her.
I'm personally not sure someone like her can be redeemed at this point, honestly. Not if I prefer Heather over her.
I don't get why everyone says Ezekiel died. I saw him land on the boat during the eruption, clearly still alive. That show would never seriously kill anyone. That's too adult. :/
Well, I wonder if itβs because Drama is a part of the showβs name, so the show feels like they need to deliver some hardcore drama, even if it is sometimes sudden or doesnβt make sense. But, honestly, no show is going to be perfect. I didnβt have to deal with Courtney as the she-demon she is for too unbearably long, so I didnβt have much problem with this season.
But I will say, I donβt know how much longer a show like this can last. They canβt milk it forever, without it becoming skewed and unrecognizable.

Ohhh, I get you now. Glad I didn't go full-on attack mode there. xD
What makes it worse is she really is one of the most likeable characters of the show. Everyone loved her in TDI, then suddenly, she just gets fucked over in TDA and TDWT.
"New Heather"? Uncalled for.
"Boyfriend Kisser"? A total disregard to the fact it's because of COURTNEY that Duncan left her for Gwen. Completely unfair to Gwen.
Nooo, I DESPISE Courtney. There's barely anything, if any at ALL, that is redeeming about her. She SEEMED nice when she and Gwen were getting along, but still, all she EVER did was bitch about Duncan and/or Gwen.
Honestly, I don't see how anyone can still be a fan of her, at this point. xD
True. And I guess you can't do much with an animalistic Gollum version of Ezekiel anyway. xD And I guess Alejandro only survived because they made him a robot for some reason. I felt a little bad for him at that point.
A little. xD

IMO, it was too focused on couples and less on actual drama. The closest thing to it was the anomosity towards LeShawna, one of the more likable characters on the show.
But the biggest fail for this season: Duncan's victory because of PUBLIC VOTE! Yeah, a public vote. People actually chose between Duncan and Beth. and Duncan won by a significant amount only because Duncan's a fan favorite and a lot of people hate Beth when she hasn't done anything to get the hate. Beth's the nicest girl in the competition (and like Beth says: It's hard being nice all the time.), but I guess the phrase "Nice guys/girls finish last" holds true when going against Duncan. Now if the final two were Harold and Beth, or maybe Lindsay and Beth, then the match up would be better.
Oh and lack of Noah and Cody.
π: 0 β©: 1
Duncan is my favorite male character and he is definitely a fan favorite, so it was pretty obvious who would win, but I guess the writers wanted to be different and involve the fans. xD
At the very least, Beth has a hot boyfriend. I'd say that's a good consolation prize.
Yeah, that was the biggest problem. All bloody drama, no heart.
At least TDWT is more tolerable.

So many things about that season made me want to vomit. Trent's sudden number nine fetish; Courtney going from, well, Courtney to a Psycho; DJ and Chef's alliance; Bridgette & Geoff's constant making-out; reusing the most popular characters instead of even trying to develop some of the lesser-known characters; Gwen-who is one of the nicest characters on the show-being blamed for everything; Heather being so... blah; the list goes on and on.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh my gosh, it is a big list indeed. D:
Even the Aftermaths made me sour. Let alone when Gwen was featured and everyone was mad at her, even Trent, when it was Justin that orchestrated the lie that got Trent voted off, and Trent himself for throwing the game and causing her to break up with him.
Ugh, it's a trend with her i've noticed now because of the big drama in TDWT. Boys screw Gwen over, and she takes the blame. It's so unfair to her. D:
Geoff was a monster. Turned so fame obsessed, I was glad Bridgette broke up with him briefly and snapped him back to his senses.
But that seemed to be what that seaosn was all about. Nothing but bloody and merciless drama. Few were unscathed.
Heather was actually pretty tolerable in TDA, but mostly because Courtney was so terrible. :/
Yeah, and just stuffing them on the Aftermath show where barely any of them had lines anyway was almost disrespectful. D: Noah and Cody at least deserve some attention to their real potential (which i'm glad they got on TDWT, at least).
Chef taking advantage of DJ was pretty harsh, I think. DJ's literally the gentle giant. He's sensitive and caring and yet he was eventually pushed to vote himself off because of the overwhelming guilt. I blame Chef Hatchet for that one. ]<

I think that there was the aspect that Trent was too close to being a boring 'perfect boyfriend'. Strange, since Trent already has a character flaw that would cause trouble with him and Gwen; namely, the boy's superficial. They established that he had a decided 'Metro' streak in him; that he was a little too concerned with looking good and getting along with the crowd. Something like that could really screw up his relationship with Gwen without the bogus 'counting' thing or the psycho jealousy.
PS, I agree about Noah; the dude cries out to be used (and use) more.
π: 0 β©: 1
That is true. Aside from the development of his relationship with Gwen, there really wasn't much else to Trent besides his music. There wasn't much to dislike about him, so he would seem a tad boring and easy to hook up with.
So there, I can understand the attempt to bring a flaw into him.
But the way TDA did it was such a train wreck, how it just came out of nowhere. You can't realistically just dump an obsession on a character in the second season that he supposedly had all his life since his grandfather's death. There's no way it can make sense, because there were no signs in the first season. That was bad writing. :/
The jealously, I wasn't expecting either. Trent always seemed so cool and confident, yet he freaks out at the mere sight of Gwen and Duncan in close proximity.
I never really saw him as superficial though. He always just seemed chill and friends with everyone to me. But that's just my perception.
Trent and Gwen were sweet together in TDI, but..there wasn't any real substance to that, so I can say i'm not too surprised they didn't last, I guess, even without the murdering of his character.
And, yes, Noah needs more spotlight. His kin of cynicism makes me smile. At least he got more camera time in TDWT.

i didnt like that season either it didnt have noah or cody in it
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, that was unfortunate. D: But I guess the writers wanted a shorter season, with less characters to keep track of. Or something. xD
At least they did remedy that with TDWT. Noah got more appreciative screen time and Cody's really coming into his own as a known and loved character.
It's just too bad Sierra's constantly hanging on him. xD
π: 0 β©: 1
true that i think cody should totaly win this season oh well

It would be great if he did. He's the underdog that i'm really beginning to appreciate more, now that's he's developing into more than just a boy in puppy-love with Gwen. xD

lol its kinda funny he was a gwen fangirl in season 1 now hes got a fangirl stalking him

That's true!
Poor Cody. And he's still trying to get Gwen's affections too, despite Sierra and Duncan.
He's got determination! >
π: 0 β©: 0
It wasn't so bad, I was never really that much a fan of Trent. And Courtney, yeah, Duncan should have dumped her ass when she left him after he sprained his ankle at the end of season one. As far as the Gwen hate goes,it sucks. There's no reason to it, then or now. Over all,it was an okay season, just not as good as the others.
π: 0 β©: 1
It could have been worse, yes, but it wasn't the easiest season to sit through. All the warmth and heart from TDI was stripped away in favor of destroying characters/relationships and creating nothing BUT drama. I suppose that was my biggest problem with it.
Yes, I simply don't enjoy DuncanxCourtney, just because they really don't work. 'Opposites Attract' does not always mean it's destiny. Courtney is overwhelmingly selfish and dominating, and Duncan is a delinquent who can't stand authority. There's simply no way a real lasting relationship can exist with them.
That's why i'm glad they were finally ended in TDWT, although all these dead-set fans still believing they'll come back together again baffles me, honestly. xD
Yes, I completely agree there. D: Gwen is arguably one of the most likeable and consistent characters in the series. She doesn't go out and deliberately cause any of the problems she gets blasted for.
Examples:
-Getting blamed for conspiring with Trent/throwing the game in TDA. Everyone blames her, but never Trent who was the real culprit.
-Courtney being mad at Gwen for having her 'goth girl hooks' into her boyfriend, despite the fact Duncan was the one that tackled her to the ground in that Aftermath episode.
-And, of course, in TDWT, where she was branded the 'New Heather' and 'Boyfriend Kisser' even though Duncan was the one who kissed her.
It's really unfortunate because she's my favorite character and she's a wonderful person, really. Even enough to have a brief friendship with Courtney that was enough to make her feel bad for what happened between her and Duncan.
But, I guess the writers feel they have to bring drama to her, because she won't willingly to herself. :/

Total Drama Island was best left as it was: a single one shot season/series. Fuck these money making sequels. And for the record, I was NOT one of the people who wanted to see another season.
π: 0 β©: 1
I can see why people would believe that. It was a great season, because it wasn't full to the brim with nothing BUT drama like TDA was. It had some real heart to it, seeing the relationships build to sweet romances was heart-warming to watch. And, Heather was a well-executed villainess. We hated her, but not because she was nails-on-a-chalkboard annoying like Courtney in TDA, but because she was devious and merciless and did whatever she had to, to ensure she stayed on top.
I don't think it's bad that they continued, but they could have made the second season more tolerable like TDWT. There, at least, they improved on the shortcomings of TDA.

I think that you hit every nail on the head...
but what about the Animosity towards Leshawna at that one point? or Justin being the first male Heater?
my biggest problem was the Gwen-Trent breakup, there was a lot of chemistry with Gwent, yet the writers decided to cater to Gwuncan. No disrespect, but I do not think that Duncan is deserving of Gwen (or any female). I mean, think about it, he kisses another girl before breaking up with the first one, what's stopping him from doing that again once Gwen annoys him?
π: 0 β©: 1
That's true, I didn't think about Leshawna or Justin. Leshawna, I believe what happened with her was more acceptable, just because it was resolved pretty fast. And, I can understand why everyone was so insulted. Leshawna's one of the more likeable characters; she won't start anything unless she's provoked into it. So, when she was talking trash about everyone and they discovere it, then yes, they would be insulted.
That bit of drama, the writers handled well, I think. Leshawna got redemption in a pretty impressive way. She even managed to net a brief friendship with Heather, though I didn't see it actually lasting, for the same reason Heather can't stand Courtney. Strong personalities just don't mix well.
Justin..i'm not a fan of him. I don't think he said more than two lines in TDI; he was just there to be pretty essentially. TDA, i'll admit, gave him more of a personality and I respect that. He tried to set up an alliance with Courtney and he managed to manipulate Lindsay and Beth for the first half of the season. I guess I don't have much of a problem with that, because the writers did try to bring more to him than just a pretty face.
He really was the first male Heather. I never thought of it that way, good observation! xD
But, well, now there's Alejandro, so I don't miss Justin much. I guess he was supposed to be Alejandro 1.0 xD
Oh my gosh, yes. That was the worst. D:
Like I said earlier, I am a fan of Gwuncan, so i'm not entirely broken-hearted over it, but I will say that I was sad to see them end the way they did, amongst scandal. It wasn't a rspectful or dignified way, especially with all the blame from everyone being placed on Gwen for it.
I remember how sweet it was to see them develop into a couple in TDI, so to see it just trashed within five episodes of TDA was really terrible. D:
And, that is a good and valid point. Duncan was in the wrong with kissing Gwen without the decency of dumping Courtney again first. I won't let him off the hook there just because i'm a fan. Courtney is an intimidating girl and I have absolutely no love for her, but she at least deserved that kind of decency. But, well, this is also Duncan. He's not always going to do everything the right way.
I suppose he could pull the same thing on Gwen too, I can't go and say it's unrealistic and impossible, but I hope he doesn't. Gwen definitely doesn't deserve that.
π: 0 β©: 1
Although, Gwen and Trent have been getting along pretty well since the break up, and Duncan did not seem so broken up about Gwen being taken out of the game...
so... perhaps Gwen and Trent might reconcile and start fresh?
π: 0 β©: 1
It would be sweet to see, but I, in my own humble opinion, don't see that happening. D:
There wasn't any real substance to Gwen and Trent's relationship, so even without the jealousy and sudden obsessive personality, I don't think they would have lasted very long.
If it's nothing but sweetness all the time, they'll get cavities. xD
And, this is also Duncan. He's got too much pride to break down like Geoff did when Bridgette was voted off in TDI. But he does miss her, as exampled in TDWT's 'Sweden Sour' when he was carving Gwen's face into the side of his first-class seat. And the fact he was excited at the (false) belief that Gwen was coming back in 'Niagra Brawls'.
Don't get me wrong, i'm not bashing the relationship, I was a fan of it during its time, but i've always liked the idea of Gwen being with Duncan better. There's more to them, because they were best friends first.
But, still, that's my opinion and I don't mean to insult yours.
π: 0 β©: 1
hey, I'm just sayin', weirder romances on that show have lasted longer...
Harold and Leshawna anyone?
π: 0 β©: 1
LOL, oh my god, yes. That was a pairing I did NOT expect. xD
They've never really acted like an official couple, either, so they are an interesting pair. xD
π: 0 β©: 1
well, I kinda expected something to happen between then when they first met on TDI,
remember the way Harold dropped his jaw when he first saw her?
and what about the Lindsay/Tyler thing? The talentless jock didn't seem like the kind of guy to win the hot blonde
π: 0 β©: 1
True, true. There could be some real potential between them, if the writers would embrace it.
I think they were a reference to the typical dumb blonde/jock stereotype in high schools, but they're actually pretty sweet together, once they got more screen time in TDWT. Tyler really cares for her, even enough to not want to screw with Duncan via Courtney.
They're both sweet untainted couples that deserve more appreciation, I think.
π: 0 β©: 1
can you imagine if Courtney tried to screw with Duncan and Gwen by flirting with Trent?

Oh God. xD
THERE would be some drama i'd look forward to seeing, just because she really would. xDD

Not sure if Trent would be all that willing to dignify Courtney's come-ons with the satisfaction of a desired response
π: 0 β©: 1
No, I don't think he would either. He'd probably catch on pretty quick and refuse to hurt Gwen that way.
π: 0 β©: 1
some would find that noble, others touching
π: 0 β©: 1
Trent's a noble person, i'm not denying that. The idea of throwing away one million dollars for the girl he loves is very touching, but sadly only in theory. D:
Even if they're not together anymore, I can see Trent caring for her enough to not want harm brought to her.
Like when he stopped Geoff from dumping Gwen in a tank of sharks in the Aftermath episode.
