User blog:The Anonymous User/Total Drama Athletics Characters

Another Sprink A story, another rankings blog. Here it goes!

1. Skylar: Yeah, I know I helped to create him, so I'm a bit biased, but I do like his character. His views are ones I truly identify with.

2. Kylie: Yep, she's cool. I really like both her image and personality a lot. Unfortunately, I doubt she'll make the merge.

3. Alexandria: As I said before, sass is always appreciated in my book. She seems like a fun character to read about, and I anticipate her placing quite well to boot. Plus, she's really pretty, and shares a name with a hardcore band I kind of like (you know, as far as hardcore goes).

4. Polly Ann: She reminds me a lot of my friend who just so happens to share the name of another contestant in this story. The key differences are their sport choice (my friend does color guard), physical appearance and origin (my friend comes from New England, rather than what appears to be the Southern US). Still, I have high hopes for PA here.

5. Holden: As a "smart one" in my group of friends, I like Holden's brains, and  smart characters in general. Unlike most though, he is in no way geeky, and seems rather socially gifted, considering his relationship with his bro.

6. Jayden: Like Yi Min before him, Jayden strikes me as the type who will provide a good laugh for the readers, while having a sensitive story side as well. I love that contrast in characters.

7. Isabella: Unlike Uriah, whom she is often compared to, I actually really like Isabella. I hope this lasts, considering I get the feeling she'll make it far-ish..

8. Nathan: He's different, and I love him for that. I hope he doesn't get picked on much for his choice in pseudo-sport, though I'm not ruling it out.

9. Cassie: While she doesn't strike me as having too much in the way of personality, that's not necessarily a bad thing. Cassie seems like a nice touch of sanity in a bit of a hectic environment. Also, tall girls are usually pretty cool.

10. Gabby: Oh, Gabby...she's going to be the archetypal "Schadenfreude" character of the lot. If it helps, I do like that type of character, and can relate to her clumsiness to an extent, though I'm not as much truly clumsy as I am sort of uncoordinated.

11. Bubba: It's not that I dislike Bubba, it's just that I like the above nine more. He seems like an inspirational character, which can go either way for me. If I don't end up liking him in story, at least I can say I like his Bulbasaur gijinka image.

12. Madison: Something tells me Madison is going to end up either incredibly central to the story, or a completely invisible background character; she won't end up in between. At least her personality isn't bad.

13. Ramona: I'm not getting the greatest first impression from her. This is not to say that I got a bad first impression, it's just that I didn't get much of one at all. She seems less than memorable.

14. Evan: I can't get Spyke out of my head when I think of him. This is not a good thing, because Spyke is kind of lame. I know they are very different, but I also am annoyed at his whole "scandal" thing, so he'd be low on the list regardless.

15. Tony: As a small, relatively weak individual, I find guys like Tony unsettling. At least I can expect some humor out of him, and he will likely move up from his low ranking in time.

16. Zoe: She kind of frightens me as well, but for a different reason entirely. I much prefer more slow-paced, stress-relieving forms of exercise (such as yoga) to the type Zoe is preaching the importance of, so she and I would likely not mix. Also, considering her issue with her brother, she may be somewhat superficial, which is not a good thing in my book.

17. Luke: He just seems far too pitiable for my taste. I know how serious AIDS is, and he deserves some sympathy, but that seems to be all he is right now. He's like Angelo, but with a lethal disease thrown on. I think I would like him more if he showed signs of personality right away, so this may change depending on how he develops.

18. Fernando: Yeah, he seems smug, and I'm not usually a fan of attractive, popular guys like him. They often take the attention away from guys like me, not that I'm bitter or anything. Who knows, he could improve drastically by the time the story ends.

19. Vanessa: I have a real problem with her ideology, but she does seem like the kind of character that can develop very dramatically in story. I anticipate her being sort of a middle placer (somewhere in the late second quarter or early third quarter sounds about right).

20. Doyce: As much as I disagree with Vanessa's beliefs, guys like Doyce in my personal life drive me up a wall. I am not a huge fan of the "big man on campus" types generally speaking, and plan to attend college where huys like him don't exist. This of course does not mean Doyce is a bad character by any means. I just dislike him for now.

So, after twenty long weeks, another rankings blog exists. Please comment!
