User blog comment:VeryUnknownFan/Mid season Review of Total Drama Toxic Brawl/@comment-25297892-20141223215557

Ok, think my opinion is requested here, just to do my part of social business, ahahah.

Personally I like this season:it has drama, many good interactions, and a merge that isn't as obvious as were the previous ones, and I like the challenges (as concepts)...so..what's actually wrong? You people. Guys, all your OOC alliances were the main reason this season is so shattered and causes a conflict after another after another after another...that's it. The challenges are often sacrificed in favour of plots that lead automatically the game to a direction, while the alliances do their best to screw up the words "worthiness, continuity and sticking in character" slaying players and forcing everyone else to enjoy a side or another if he doesn't want to go home. So TOXIC. Maybe is this the reason the season is called TOXIC BRAWL? Lame pun, but actually I have to joke about this, while I'm serious. So, what's the main problem with the alliances?They force people to do unrealistic things, to break continuity with their plot and backstab each other hoping to not be backstabbed back. This is getting seriously annoying: for example how you can really imagine Tyler voting out Lindsay and viceversa so randomly, without a hint of plot, or if there's one, developped in a single episode? But happened even worst, actually. Speaking for myself, I was often forced to vote out characters that sticking in character I wouldn't, or because they were friends of Noah in the TDTB plot (ex: Tyler, since the two made up in episode 5) or because there were seriously no reliable reasons to do that, but it was me or they, so....I just joined to the common rule, that's WRONG.

That's why I suggested many and many and many and many times to try to stop with these continuous alliances unless they have a plot on their back and SHOWN in the public room. By the way, I don't want to stress myself about: it's up to you to listen to my voice or ignore it. Ok, part one of my comment is finished, now part Two, on the characters!After a break.

...*sipping coffee....*.........................relaxing...break finished.

Let's start with PART TWO!

Beardo:even more fodder than he was in canon.Not that I expected a plot by him...literally silent.

Cody: considering he usually got far in the previous seasons, this time he acted clearly as a fodder, and was a deserved first eliminated.

Jasmine: she was poorly roleplayed, active only in few episodes and with flat interactions restricted only to Shawn and Dawn. Not OOC neither in character, just generic. I would have liked to see more of her, but not if roleplayed still in this way.Lemme do one word about the love triangle someone wanted so much to be developped more: it's really boring and unrealistic. Do something more original next season or forget about it.

Courtney:I sincerely can't say much about her since I barely cared for what happened in the MLS in the first episodes (too many messages at time) but I didn't like her.Her plot was a pale continuation of Scott & Courtney in S2, and the fact they were both played by the same person, personally, I found it pretty boring, since it's easy to develop a plot when you play both the characters at contemporary, no offense to Epic. As of her other interactions...a TDAS Courtney arguing with everyone.

Dawn: she was one of the most disappointing. I expected a fantastique Dawn from an huge fan of her like Derpy, instead he played a shallow copy of the Moonchild Girl. Yeah, still better than the psycho-Dawn seen in the first season, but also pretty bland. Shawdawn was a failure from the beginning:Shawn almost OOC the all time, Dawn ignoring Noah effortless (I know you disliked Nawn, but was pretty unfair to ignore me the Whole time until I was forced to do the diary stealing plot, just to have a clever and interesting way to end Nawn) cutting from the edge a relationship I had actually continued in S2 all by myself, shortening it was like all my work was going into the bin. However, I decided to resign at Nawn wreckage searching for a cool way to end it up, meanwhile you strived for a so evident FORCED LOVE STORY with Shawn. So boring and lacking of depth, such as Scourtney in TDAS.

Duncan:fodder.Can't say anything else on him.
