 Alejandro  Alejandro is by far one of the most overrated characters in the roleplay. He begins with a relatively strong season in Total Drama Around the World. Him and Sadie quickly become an attached pair and he utterly dominates his team premerge. During this time, Al in general doesn't really do much of interest besides his conflict with Geoff, which is easily one of the best conflicts in the rp. He soon makes an alliance with Lightning that takes over the merge after they eliminate Bridgette, but the double elimination twist dethrones him an eliminates him. This isn't too big of a loss considering Al's main plots were all but completed by then, ignoring the conflict with Geoff. My main issue with Al this season is that his interactions are what makes him; as an individual character he is really just a bland gamebot that speaks Spanish. This becomes even more of a problem in Total Drama Toxic Brawl, where Alejandro is a founding member of the Villains Alliance, which is by far my least favorite alliance of the roleplay. Alejandro, who is obviously the intellectual superior of both of them, treats both of them as his partners in crime, which... what? Alejandro should be using them, not sincerely allying with them. Another major problem with this is the fact that the Villains Alliance was notorious for ignoring roleplay value in their votes and for dragging along dead weight story wise like Owen and Dave. While Dave did prove to have a lot of comedic value in his interactions with Al (licking him and telling him he loved him xD), he was a very notorious floater and only left premerge because Sadie OOCly cut him. Coincidentally, most of what I've been talking about has not been directly related to Alejandro, which really reflects how he was on the season: a MOR presence that was just there and did stuff that kinda effected the season. Al was quickly cut by Femme Fatale after the merge because of Kai's strategic prowess in a non eventful vote. The ramifications of this vote are much more interesting than the vote itself. Alejandro's best season in my opinion is Total Drama All-Stars Take 2. While he does take a more background character role in most episodes, his relationship and interactions with Sky and Heather are some of the season highlights, and his gamebottiness is toned down immensely. Allying with one of my personal favorites in Anne Maria didn't hurt him at all. Anyways, Al is not the forefront of any episodes besides the 4-6 streak and his elimination ep, where he truly shined amongst his castmates. Kai really made him work as a background character, and quite a few of his lines were hilarious. The reason he's so high is the way Aleheather's plot was concluded (Alejandro refusing to kiss Sky because of his feelings for Heather), which showed us a new side to Alejandro, and turned him from a gamebot to a multidimensional character. In the end, Alejandro has a large fanbase on the rp for good reason, but his major flaws tend to be overlooked due to not being as offensive as say, Sadie's.
