User blog:The Anonymous User/Total Drama: The All-Stars Characters

Another season, another rankings blog, courtesy of The Anonymous User! Bring on the All-Stars!

I consider myself to be a fan of most of the All-Stars here, so this could be tough competition for some top spots!

1. Yi Min: I always thought he was a surprisingly funny character, and his friendship with Tsuyoshi and relationship with Priscilla showed a side of Yi Min I could not help but like. I am sure there is a good reason why he dumped Priscilla.

2. Quintin: He too has been a consistent fave of mine, and was my absolute favorite wiki character for a while (he was also a major role in my inspiration for Sebastian). It's nice to see he has come to grips with his brother's death, and I look forward to his appearance here.

3. Ophelia: To be honest, the fight for the second spot is tough, and I like Miss Matchmaker just about as much as Quintin. The only things that put her further down is her ties to Uriah, whom I dislike, and her near-obsessive need to help people. Sometimes, people are better off alone. I will say, both Ophelia and Quintin share some key traits with me, which may be why they are up so high.

4. Francesca: My favorite deadpan snarker (yes, I like TVtropes too) of the fics I have read recently! I do feel bad about the whole Anders thing, but that was no real fault of her own, just circumstance. I kinda hope she does find a boyfriend like she was looking for though. Too bad Brent is already taken, and C-Bass is too young for her.

5. Reeve: As much as I like him, he isn't quite as awesome as the above four. I realize he is above Francesca in the TDW blog, but my hopes for him are not quite as high in this as they are for her, mostly because his story in TDW doesn't leave much room for continuity, which means new material for him is necessary for him to last.

6. Kendall: I am wary of Kendall in this story, mostly because he has changed so much since TDBI. I dont' know what these changes will bring to the table, but I hope I like it.

7. Al: Al always made me laugh in TDT, and his chill factor should bring some fun to the All-Star season. I look forward to what sort of hilarious lines he will have in this.

8. Sky Lynn: Another favorite of mine from TDT (then again, who wasn't a favorite of mine in that story?). I wonder what sort of dynamic, if any, she will have with her big bro.

9. Melinda: Unfortunately, she is one of those characters that I liked in her original story, but has appeared to dull somewhat since then. I hope she is still the same Melinda I knew and loved on the inside, despite her outward changes.

10. Sheena: She appears to have not changed much at all since TDR, which isn't always a good thing. I liked her then, but now she interests me less.

11. Hedda: I didn't like her much in TDW, but she did have some funny scenes. I somehow think she will retain these qualities, and I will like her more now than then.

12. Beau: I don't dislike him by any stretch, but he somehow bores me now. He really did grow a lot in TDT, and seems to have continued to do so since, but I think his internal struggle was something I liked in him, and something that helped me create the concept of Stefan. I hope it isn't all gone.

13. Creigh: Creigh has always been a sort of middle-ranked character for me, and now isn't any different. I am tempted to like him, as I generally like the more negative characters and anti-heroes, but Creigh just seems hopeless now, and I don't think he will last long in competition with this attitude.

14. Daniel: Again, I don't dislike Daniel, but rather am uninterested. He was fun to read about early in TDW, but he didn't end well. I hope Brad didn't ruin his good character.

15. Kristy: Now we are getting out of the ones that simply bore me. Kristy is the last of these characters. She really didn't do it for me in TDW. She was one I had high hopes for, and was let down by. I saw little signs of her taking the reins and leading her team, so I hope she can do so now.

16. Waterlily: She is ranked low not because I hate her, but because of her lack of recognition of Quintin's remorse. He did not mean to hurt her at all, and was duped into voting her out. She was being very melodramatic about the whole deal.

17. Fiona: I have never liked Fiona all that much, and still don't really. She reminds me a lot of my ex-girlfriend, whom I was dating at the time of TDBI. She is just too frilly, sunshiny and overpowering for my tastes. I do like her and Kendall together though, she brings out the best in him.

18. Ivan: I don't have high hopes for him in this contest. If he had appeared around the time of TDR's airing on TV, after his loss of obsession, I would be happier. Now, he is much more obsessed again, and I worry about his reactions to being around the other All-Stars.

19. Jonathan: He has calmed down considerably, which is a good thing for the other contestants, but less interesting for me. I don't love the direction he has gone in since TDR, but this may change once I read about him in this story.

20. Janice: She just does not strike me as All-Star material. I understand that a pre-merge girl needed to be in the story from TDT, but I just don't think she was the right one. I would have chosen Marguerite or Hae Won if I had my say, but it's not my choice. I will just have to grin and bear it.

So that's that! I look forward to what you all have to say about my rankings!
