Glad I can criticize McGurrin in front of you, thanks for that, because I really have no stomach for his work on the series. His abilities on 6teen and Stoked did not translate over to Total Drama, where I think his writing is among the most toxic.

And some of the things he writes into this episodes, are they just there to screw with us? Not to mention..........His name is attached to the episode that sparked the most vicious controversy linked to the show, and that is the reset button in Mike's mind. The balloons and the island's destruction also cannot be excused. Who were they trying to please with a mess of nonsense like that? And it's totally true what they say, too many of his episodes dumb down the cast just to send them to the chopping block. Even when that was a norm for almost the entirety of All-Stars, his still stood out as especially heinous. I did not like his work on World Tour either. Look at his episode credits on the Staff page and you'll quickly catch on as to why. And after two bad finales, it would've been wiser of them to hand that responsibility to someone else. The finale is something you should never be screwing up, that's something you need to make ironclad for everyone to enjoy, as that's the final payoff for the entire season. You blow the finale, and you risk everyone asking why they bothered watching. A bad finale can cramp everything.

Yeah, Terry McGurrin needs to be let go. He can work on other projects, but I don't trust that guy with Total Drama or its spinoff. And if Ed MacDonald truly is out of the picture, then McGurrin is the next guy to be most concerned about.

All-Stars was pretty much dead by the time Wreck-ening came on. In no small part thanks to MacDonald and even Ganetakos, who co-wrote the final two episodes with McGurrin. Not sure what her story is because she had a handful of decent ones in the past.
