1. When and how did you first find out about Total Drama? Saw a commercial for it, and was curious about it. Watched Dodge Brawl on CN, and was hooked after that.

2. What was the best season of Total Drama? TDI

3. What was the worst season of Total Drama? TDA

4. Has the show "jumped the shark"? (suddenly decline sharply in quality and stay that way) When did it? Once the second season decided to base a lot of the eliminations on character flaws, and spreading out episodes with a smaller cast. This caused a few episodes to give reasons behind eliminations, but it really ended up making some of the characters less likable.

5. Which seasons did you watch in full? TDI and TDWT. I decided to stop watching TDA, because they brought Owen back. I don't plan to watch TDRI to the full, because of Dawn.

6. Who's your least favorite character? Probably Dawn. Owen and Duncan annoyed me. Alejandro's hypnotism also did not sit well with me, as I view that as uncanny, which in general I try to avoid. Dawn kind of takes that element and amps it up so I choose not to tolerate it.

7. Who do you think is the most poorly-written, flimsiest character? Staci. Lots of potential, but she seemed entirely created to be disliked. Runner up = Ezekiel.

8. What was the worst, most poorly executed moment or subplot of each season? TDI - Heather not targeting her enemies, and instead going after entirely random choices with little reason given. TDA - The choice of pitting Beth against Duncan and leaving it to a viewer vote. This season has many to choose from, though, including the 'Duncan's voted out! Just kidding' moments. TDWT - Ezekiel in general. TDRI - I have a choice, but it'd be spoilerific... I actually have two choices.

9. How long do you think Total Drama will last as a series? Maybe... six seasons total?

10. How have your views and opinions of Total Drama changed over time? What was your initial opinion? It seems like Total Drama thrives when it takes its plots from elsewhere, be it Survivor or Mean Girls. I always noted the connection to both things in TDI, but it was enjoyable, as I liked both things. XD TDA and TDWT tried to focus on the characters more in wacky situations, and not a real solid plot, for the most part.

I honestly don't find as much joy in the series as I once did in TDI and early episodes of TDA. I'll smile at Brick here in there, but in general I'm pretty stone faced. I prefer fanfictions with more interesting characters and development.
