User blog comment:Rhonda the stalker fan!/Total Drama 30 Day Challenge: Day 13/@comment-1034367-20180730230244

The new, innovative and well thought-out characters were great, but I think what cements it for me is that TDPI felt for the first time like Total Drama was a true reality competition series (as far as you can get with a cartoon show). There wasn't much relying on cameos from the original cast, everything felt very fresh and new, it was genuinely just 14 new contestants competing to win another season of Total Drama. It just felt very fresh to me.
