User blog:Rhonda the stalker fan!/Total Drama: Around The World Rankings!

The title plenty much explains it all! These are rankings for Mr. E's '''Total Drama: Around the World. '''The story is first in his canon and is off to a great start. These rankings (which I plan to update consistently) are in fact my Secert Santa gift for Mr.E! (Not exactly a secret anymore :P). I may also had chapter rankings as more chapters pop up.

Overall, I enjoyed  and am hooked on TD:ARW and think the cast is good, just needs to be expanded on. I hope my rankings don't sound too critical, I'm not trying for them to be. I hope you enjoy the rankings Mr. E and have a merry Christmas!

Rankings
20th Rory- Out of all the contestants, Rory seems to be the one I really dislike. People really seem to like him, but I just don't. He’s annoying, has no skills but is self-entitled. I think the joke is that he’s a loser but I personally don’t find it funny. I can admit jerks can be likable but that’s usually if they come across as awesome, like saying clever things or being clever. Rory is neither, and I kinda hope he gets voted off :/

19th Spencer- I didn’t hate Spencer necessarily but I didn’t enjoy him. I’m iffy on fat/slob jokes and Spencer’s had only a few, but they haven’t exactly hit the mark for me. He’s also kind of the load for his team, which made him kinda unlikable (though I did laugh when he said “She never gave me a break even though I was basically like, bleeding on the street.) I think I could like him more but it’ll just have to see.

18th Bolton- Bolton’s positivity kinda got on my nerves. It feels like a joke that might get old with his endless enthusiasm, and I didn’t find too funny really.

17th Pedro- I recall Pedro is smug and muscular but not much else. I kinda feel I might grow to dislike his smugness.

16th Zevon- Zevon’s introduction with making jokes was funny, though mostly how people played on that. But beside that he seems like another Bolton. He’s not been too in my face about positivity so he gets off better :P

15th Vanessa- Vanessa is kinda in the same boat as Zevon and Bolton. Her positivity is a bit different though, basically saying “this is bad…but oh well.” I feel that wears less but could still wear. I like the religious angle with her character and hope that’s expanded on.

14th Bronte- I couldn’t recall Bronte. She just didn’t stick out to me, though rereading she did have a funny line about her captain picking Rory. But yeah…she’s kinda bland, ironically considering she’s generic. I think the problem is she is on a team with a bunch of other hot girls (Sabrina and Sophie) so it might be easy to get mixed up as personalities are established.

13th Penelope- I don’t really remember Penelope. I only remember one line she had where she like repeated what she just said, which did make me laugh for being such a lame cheer, I laughed really hard.

12th Sabrina- Sabrina was slightly forgettable but more memorable than the other two. I think she’ll become much more memorable as the story goes, but like Bronte she is kinda in the same boat. One thing I noticed is that in her intro she is nice but then she comes across as competitive and a bit self entitled.

11th Faramond- Faramond is iffy. Pretty neutral. He’s memorable for how he talks but I’m still out if I enjoy it or not. It was funny on how everyone bullied him into going in and getting the gas (I feel kinda bad for saying that :P). And he does have shades of being a woobie :3

10th Knight- I remember Knight for being in an alliance but his personality didn’t really stand out except being similar to Byington. I expect to like him more however. I do enjoy his friendship with Byington.

9th Ivory- Ivory didn’t really do that much. But her personality differs some much from everyone else that she is memorable. I’m interested in seeing her interact more with the others.

8th Kathy- Kathy seems like a very funny and enjoyable character…she was just under focused. But I like the idea behind her.

7th Sophia- Sophia was funny, particularly her confessionals. She really enjoys being evil…even though she really hasn’t done anything. But she is very humorous with it.

6th Misty- I enjoyed Misty. I found some of her lines funny, though at the end when she was just overly mean wasn’t that funny. But she had good insults and comebacks. And she was a player of the game, and almost the only one on her team.

5th Xavier- Xavier was funny, kinda acted a straight man to his team and their antics (ironic given he’s a mad scientist).He also was pretty strategic. I’m interested in seeing his mad scientist persona being played up and building crazy inventions.

4th Zobian- I’m not really sure if I like Zobian or not. But I did find a lot of what he said really funny. He was snarky and enjoyable, even if he was an ass. But kind of a likable one for the audience.

3rd Byington- Byington was enjoyably snooty and is a strong player of the game, which gives him major points. I liked most of his interactions with other characters as well.

2nd D’arcy- D’arcy was just super funny too me. Her ‘playing the unpopular victim’ card was clever and she had some of my favorite, funny lines. She has a joke that could get old but doesn’t because it’s used interestingly.

1st Wednesday- Wednesday is just great. I just enjoy how overly dramatic she is about stuff. She has also really great responses to people’s actions. I enjoy her wonderfully :P

Shipping
Because I'm such a hopeless romantic, something new I’ve decided to do is share some characters I'm kinda shipping in my head ;) Basically some of the pairings, no matter how ridiculous, I share and describe how awkwardly cute it is (to me). I’ll also comment on real pairings as they happen.

Knight x Ivory- I don’t know why I like this pairing, they haven’t even interacted, but the idea of the shy girl and schemer seems to work for me, particularly seeing how Knight seems to be kinda street.

Sophia x Byington- Basically, two antagonists shipped together. Both are strategists and enjoying being villains. I could see it being very cute.

Zobian x Vanessa- Basically an opposites attract couple, again really no backing. Zobian does seem like he will become more social and Vanessa seems like a person who could make him that.
