User blog comment:Jake R/Total Drama: Revenge of the Island- Rankings./@comment-1153194-20120129185137

Here, I'll do my rankings. I've only seen two episodes, though. XD

13. Dawn... Seriously. It's not that I hate her voice, like other people. It's better than some others, and I'll go as far to say that her voice sounds like Fluttershy on helium. My issue is with her chakra nonsense, and auras. It's too constant, and it goes against my beliefs. I almost stopped watching the series entirely because of her, and I still might.

12. Cameron. Cameron is a forced underdog, which is something that simply doesn't work. An underdog becomes one, they aren't made as one. And when it's stressed, they no longer become one. You know? I can't see anyone relating to him, or even wanting to. His voice also sounds too much like an adult trying to sound like a child. Everything about him seems like a failure to me. The writers just failed with this character. Little kids will love him, and that feels like the intention.

11. Zoey... Okay, Zoey is pretty bad. The writers tried to make her 'the every girl' and likable, but at the cost of her having any sort of personality. We know she was/is lonely, but only because it's brought up so many times, not through her actions.

10. Mike. You should see how serious my face is when he changes personalities. He doesn't fit my humor, at all. He and Zoey just feel like they were designed as Trent and Gwen part 2. Let's hope the writers do that better than they did Gwen and Trent.

9. Scott. I like the idea behind him, and the fact that he has eyebrows of one solid color. I like that he's trailer park-y, though, it is deemed a bad thing by his persona. His voice and strategy are awful, though. No one would ever have such a horrible strategy. Total Drama keeps recycling the same villain, over and over. They need a villain that is not the only person who has a strategy, no matter how weak it is. His strategy would not help him, it would get him voted off.

8. B. Not interesting, too omnipotent. Not much to say about him.

7. Sam. The lovable loser, for me without the 'lovable'.

6. Ann Maria. She's fine, but doesn't feel like she has a major purpose on the show. I know she has a storyline coming up, but it feels like that's the only reason she's there.

5. Jo. I like her fine. I just feel like there wasn't much done to make her differ from Eva.

4. I like Dakota. She's nowhere near as annoying to me, as she is to the other contestants. She's not particularly mean, just shallow. I don't mind her voice, either.

3. Lightning. I like him, and why wouldn't I? Doyce, anyone? My only issue is his voice... His is my least favorite. It's so bad, that it knocks him down a couple notches. I could see him being my favorite if it weren't for that. That's how much his voice bugs me.

2. Staci. I liked her voice, the most out of any character. It was unexpected and hilarious. I also found her stories amusing, and who was she really harming? I felt bad for her, too, because it felt like her whole purpose in being created was to be disliked.

1. Brick. Gather around, and let Uncle Sprink tell you a story. When watching the beginning of episode two, with Dawn, Cameron, Scott, and Mike's nonsense, I was ready to shut off the episode, and quit the series... Then when I paused it, I saw a Brick scene was about to start, so I decided to let it play... Then when Jo asks him why he would wear earplugs while running and he said, "I dunno!" with a goofy expression... That my dear friends *tear wipe* is why I decided to finish the episode. I love me some Brick.

Haha. Hopefully those rankings aren't too harsh, just how I'm feeling about the cast. They coulda been better, but hey, the original cast has a lot of flaws, too. Lack of personality with a lot of them, in this cast a lot of the personality is too much, and forced too hard. At this point, I'm not sure if I'll keep watching, though.
