User blog:Owenandheatherfan/The Official Total Drama Character Competition of 2015: Phase 1 - Alejandro vs. Owen

Welcome to the Official Total Drama Character Competition of 2015! I had this idea two years ago, and I did four rounds before giving up. With the start of Reality Realized, and since lots of us are on summer vacation, I figure this is the best time to begin again. In this competition, all 52 contestants who have competed in the six seasons -- Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action, Total Drama World Tour, Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, Total Drama: All-Stars, and Total Drama: Pahkitew Island -- will be paired up against each other, and it is your job to vote in the comments on who you think is the better character. Unlike last time, the match-ups are completely random. I used a list generator and entered in every contestant. Whoever has the most votes will advance to the next round; until only 1 is left. This week, we have Alejandro (Total Drama: World Tour, Total Drama All-Stars) vs. Owen (Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action, Total Drama: World Tour). Please vote in the comments below.

Alejandro, labeled The Arch Villain, appears to be a polite, dashing, charming gentleman, but underneath he is dark and twisted. He is known to use his charm and exceptional persuasion to advance him further in the game. He has proven to be one of the show's deadliest contestants, the number of eliminations he has caused only rivaling that of Heather. Alejandro was born in Spain before moving to Latin America, and is very proud of Hispanic heritage. He will frequently speak in his native language on the show, especially when he is frustrated. An extremely well-developed talent of his is smooth talking himself in or out of a situation. He names his best quality his ability to "smell a person's weakness and exploit it in seconds." Alejandro himself gloats that he "went through a lot of nannies" because of this. He has been shown to possess a large quantity of skills ranging from hypnotism to speaking several languages, thanks to his highly successful family. Alejandro's older brother, José, is one of very few people who can compete with him. He has described him as being superior in everything, and is partially to blame for who he is today. Especially when dealing with Heather or using it to manipulate the girls, Alejandro has a romantic nature, and has learned many lessons on the subject from his relatives.

Owen, labeled The Party Guy, loves eating, having a good time, and passing a large amount of gas. Among his peers, he is arguably the most popular contestant of all time for his cheerful ways, optimistic viewpoints no matter what the situation, and ability to see the best in people. He even accomplishes the impossible in making a friend of Chris. He always tries to help his team win challenges despite his physical and mental disadvantages. Usually enthusiastic at first, he often ends up failing, the majority in humorous ways. As a running gag in the series, Owen is frequently naked, farting, or sometimes both. He has mentioned on numerous occasions that his response to stress (among many other emotions) is eating. Owen is also a sensitive person, describing himself as feeling things on a deep level. He tells Heather in Trial By Tri-Armed Triathlon that he feels like no one listens to him. Additionally, when he is strapped to an electric chair in The Aftermath: III, during the "Truth or Electrocution" segment, Owen is so frightened of being shocked that he launches into a tirade of all his wrongdoings - before Geoff even asks him a question. Despite being one of the nicest contestants on the show, Owen has a dark side like most others. In Dodgebrawl, he fiercely competes in the dodgeball game, and even though it was likely due to the competition, Katie and Sadie still said that he acted mean during it during Haute Camp-ture. In addition, during, Total Drama Action, broke from his mother's spending, Owen is offered money to come back from elimination and create drama between the remaining cast mates. Although he feels bad about his job and initially doesn't do a very good job, he continues to "stir up the doo-doo" even when not instructed, claiming "it's hard going cold turkey."

Though not required, please leave a reason when you vote. If you disagree with someone, do not be afraid to debate with that person in the comments, as long as it is respectful and rational. This competition is supposed to inspire discussion and debates, not just find out which character you like more.
