1. When and how did you first find out about Total Drama?

I saw commercials for it, on CN. I didn't watch the premiere, but while I was at my Grandma's there was like, some kind of marathon of the first five or six episodes. The first one I saw was...Dodgebrawl, I believe? I really liked it, even though initially I thought I'd hate it.

2. What was the best season of Total Drama?

I think...probably Total Drama Island. World Tour is a pretty close second, for me.

3. What was the worst season of Total Drama?

Total Drama Action, hands down.

4. Has the show "jumped the shark"? (suddenly decline sharply in quality and stay that way) When did it?

I don't think it has yet; but it came close a few times, in Total Drama Action and towards the end of World Tour. 5. Which seasons did you watch in full?

Total Drama Island and Total Drama World Tour. I've seen all of the ROTI episodes that have aired in English. I missed a few episodes of TDA...Million Dollar Babies and Super Hero-ld.

6. Who's your least favorite character?

Duncan.

7. Who do you think is the most poorly-written, flimsiest character?

Hmm...probably Sierra. She kind of just warped from a fan of Total Drama to pretty much only a fan of Cody. Zombie Ezekiel is probably a close second, with Duncan, Izzy, and Cody as honorable mentions.

8. What was the worst, most poorly executed moment or subplot of each season?

TDI - Probably Gwen randomly switching between forgiving Trent and still being angry. Also, Gwen, since when is Owen a sane person? TDA - The Trent-Gwen-Duncan thing. Not because it was uninteresting, because it was, I just thought it...oh, I dunno, might actually get resolved. Trent didn't ever confront Duncan, Duncan never apologized, Gwen made a boatload of mistakes...it was sad to see two great characters get screwed over by bad writing. TDWT - Duncan returning/Duncan and Gwen hooking up. Way to make Trent's fears totally justified, Gwen.

9. How long do you think Total Drama will last as a series?

Probably five or six seasons in total.

10. How have your views and opinions of Total Drama changed over time? What was your initial opinion?

Yes, they have. At first, I looooooved Total Drama...and then I watched Total Drama Action. It just seems like the writing has gotten really lazy, and certain characters (Owen, Heather, Duncan, Izzy) are overused, while other characters (Eva, Sadie, Katie, Ezekiel), are grossly underused. Other characters (Tyler, Justin, Bridgette, Geoff, Trent, LeShawna) show up, but are never fully utilized.

Yeah, I'm still a fan. Though, I'm not as big a fan as I was a few years ago.
