User blog:Sprinklemist/Return to Total Drama World Tour Cast Speculation and Userboxes for RtTDA

Return to Total Drama World Tour is on its way. TDIwriter has announced the season, and that he plans to bring in ten from the Return to series, and ten from Total Drama: Second Chance. In this blog I'll analyze each contestant and give my input on the likelihood of their inclusion. This isn't really a suggestion thread, as I believe TDIwriter said he has his cast decided, he's just holding out on who will be in. This is just some speculation from me. Let's begin with the characters from the Return to series (in order of elimination from RtTDI).

Gerald

Gerald... Gerald has been stated by TDIwriter to be one of his favorite characters to write for. In his first season, he was basically a spazz with not enough time to develop properly. He returned in Return to Total Drama Action, and actually developed very well. He left semi-early, again, so I don't think anyone is really sick of him. My major doubt in his return, though, is that he developed very well, making his character do a complete turn around. The concern is that with his main issue solved, there isn't much left for him to actually do in the next season. I do know, as a writer myself, that it can be very easy to give a character like that a new storyline, further exploring their change. My guess on the likelihood of Gerald's return is about 35%.

David

Kind of really ugly David slept a lot in his first season. Second season he woke up. I feel like he left early both stories so of all of TDIwriter's Return to characters, he could probably use some development. I actually think he has a good chance of returning, about 75%.

Shannon

Shannon is seeing a lot of development in RtTDA. I really enjoy her character, especially in the second story, as she is dealing with her own probable obsessive compulsion, and making it pretty far into the story. I am really not sure where else her character can go, so I think that her likelihood of returning is a measly 15%.

Victoria

I do enjoy reading about Victoria, and she has also displayed a turn around. I personally feel that there are better choices to return, and she kind of had her chance to shine a little more in RtTDA. I feel she has a 5% chance to return (Wah wah).

Hannah

Okay, so Hannah barely spoke in RtTDI, and in RtTDA she has become sort of a misguided/well-intentioned-ish villain. While I would normally say that that would be the kiss of doom, I feel that she has become rather memorable. I feel like memorable contestants and ones who could use some development are the most likely to return, and she fits in the former category. She also may need some story time to redeem herself, and or be the villain, again. I think she has a 65% chance of returning.

Edward

Edward is another one that has shone in RtTDA. I personally feel like he would be a good choice to return, especially if Morgan is present, as the two have an enjoyable dynamic. I actually feel like his inclusion may depend on Morgan, whether he returns or not. I want to hear more about his home life, and the third story may provide that opportunity. I think he has a likelihood of about 50%.

Jessica

This is a tough call. Jessica was a favorite in RtTDI, and returned in RtTDA. She didn't view herself as needing to change her personality, which is pretty interesting. I feel like she may return for entertainment purposes, or for development. I'm not sure about this one, so I'll be safe and say she has a 50% chance of returning.

Wendy

Hm... She left on really bad terms in RtTDI. I feel she needs some redeeming, whether or not she gets it or not is up to TDIwriter. I say she has a 71% chance of returning.

Andrew

Andrew is quite an interesting character in my book. He's not particularly funny (though he has his moments) and not particularly dramatic (though he has his moments), but he is still very intriguing to read about. I want to see more of him, personally, but I feel that his role may be covered by a TD:SC character, and he'll be left out to give other characters a chance at the spotlight. While he has received a good amount of story time, I don't think he has worn out his welcome. I think he has about a 40% chance of returning.

Tristan

I didn't like Tristan in RtTDI, but liked him much better in RtTDA. He's in the middle of a scheme at the moment, so I would like him to return to prove himself as a good guy. He's a character that I feel is flexible, as in he can be involved in a different plot line each story, and it would still work. I kind of want to see him with a storyline where he isn't at the negative end of scheme. He may just be the kind of guy, though, that always has a difficult time. I will give him a 26% chance to return (U C wut I did thare?).

Francine

While Francine has received more focus in RtTDA, I feel like she has some more loose ends to finish up. I feel like she has a 55% chance of returning.

Kevin

While Kevin is enjoyable, and charming, I feel that he has developed nicely (does that sound creepy?), and unless TDIwriter has another plan for him, I don't see him as a likely returnee. I'll give him 33.3% likelihood of return.

Nicole

As one of the few non returning competitors to RtTDA, Nicole has a certain likelihood of returning. She could still use a little development, but I'm not sure what's there to develop. She could use some romantic development with Reese, but who knows? I'll give her a 60% chance to return.

Parker

Parker is one of those characters that could possibly have an infinite amount of storylines. He's kind of like the Grinch after his heart grew, and still in the process of figuring himself out. He's an entertaining read, and I feel like we've barely scratched the surface with him. I'll give him a 70% chance of returning.

Rachael

Rachael was one of the few to not return in RtTDA. I feel like she has more story to go, like, with redemption, or to further her attempts at villainy. I feel like she is fairly likely to come back, so I'll give her a whopping 90% likelihood of return.

Morgan

While I didn't love Morgan in his story, I missed him in RtTDA. I think he is entertaining, when I think about it, especially with Edward. If one is in, and the other isn't, I figure it will be TDIwriter trying to try something different with the character. I think Morgan is likely to return, but I have a feeling he may not. I'll give him a likelihood of 62%.

Charlie

I feel like Charlie will provide TDIwriter with a chance to use him in several possible ways (as a ladie's man, villain, or someone seeking redemption, etc.). He also provides the opportunity for him to bite someone's finger, or to take a journey to Candy Mountain. I'll give him a chance of 80% to return.

Laura

Laura isn't the most exciting character, to me, but she didn't return in RtTDA. As a character with not a ton of personality (sorry Laura fans, and TDIwriters of the world), she provides the opportunity to do almost anything with her character. For that reason I'll give her a 60% chance to return. (here's to hoping for a Vince/Laura romance.)

Zuma

Like Laura, Zuma doesn't excite me... She returned in RtTDA, but did little, so she does have room to grow. I don't think she's very likely to return, due to their being only ten characters returning. I hereby give Zuma a 35% chance of returning.

Quinn

Quinn left RtTDA with not much love in her direction. I feel like she might need a chance to redeem herself, as she felt pretty heartbroken when she was eliminated (if I remember right). Her early exit in RtTDA makes it more likely for her to return. 65% chance, y'all.

Steven

I would be pretty surprised if Steven did not return. He was a big fan fave, and didn't return in RtTDA. He even has his own paper doll. I hope he returns. XD I give Steven a 99.9999999% chance to return (the 0.0000001 is there in case TDIwriter wants to spite me. Aw, but why would he do that? 8D)

Reese

This is a tricky call. He was a fan fave, but he also got a lot of development in both stories (despite being an early exit in RtTDA). I hope he returns, but would understand if he didn't, as he may not have any story left. I give him a 45% chance at returning.

Now it's time to go through the TD:SC characters. These ones are going to be trickier, as they probably all could use development. Percentages will be high, because there are only twelve contestants from this story.

Jesse

While Jesse received a lot of story (he died, y'all!), he still was one of the most memorable contestants. He has a heroic feel to him, and I think he is likely to return. If Chef is choosing, though, I don't think Jesse would be his first choice. Jesse doesn't have an extremely out there personality, but he is still a good character. I will give him a 70% chance to return.

Christine

Christine... I'm not sure about her. I think she will return, but I don't have this huge reason as to why. I'll give her a 70% chance to return.

Isaac

I see Isaac as a possible BFF to Gerald, Kevin, and David. He seems to fit in with that group, but he would likely feel cooler than them. I think he is likely to return, because he could provide some comic relief. I dub him 85% chance to return.

Hellen

Hellen was basically the only character to get eliminated in TD:SC. I kind of feel that her story is done, though she may be able to add some plot to the other story, perhaps as comic relief. I'll give her a 45% chance to return.

Bobby

Bobby is pretty likely to return... Very likely. His lying would be amusing and usable in a standard competition story. I always hoped to see him in action some more, so here's the chance. I think he has a 95% chance to return.

Tabitha

Hm... While Tabitha could be a humor causer, I'm undecided as to whether I think she will return or not, the reason being that I personally can't think of a plot for her, but I'm sure TDIwriter is way ahead on that. I'll give her a 65% chance of returning.

Leo

I do want to see Leo, again. I think he can, you know... burn stuff? That always goes over well in these fanfictions. 55% chance to return.

Ash

Ash has an epic pic, so he must return. XD Well, I do want to see him, again. I think he is likely, but I don't have a real explanation. I give him a 60% chance to return, too.

Umi

I think Umi would be fun to have in a lighter story. There will be plenty of guys available for her to stalk, and that is always amusing (unless, you know, you actually have a stalker). The only thing that makes me unsure as to her return is Sierra... I'm sure TDIwriter could have a more creative stalker type in his story, though. I give her a 70% chance to return.

Vince

The timely bully. Vince is one of the most memorable characters from TD:SC, and I would be pretty surprised if he didn't return to cause some drama. I hope he is less mean than last time, but we'll have to see, and I think we will. I give him a 85% chance to return.

Kimberly

The thing that makes Kimberly stand out to me is that she displayed that she has a really big heart. I really want a nice character like that to return, so I hope she does. I give her a 65% chance to return.

Olivia

Olivia is pretty certain to return due to get her story finished, and I feel like Hellen is not in. I guess that's al there is to say, really. XD I give her a 70% chance to return.

So based on those insightful reasons, I'm guessing the cast will be Olivia, Kimberly, Umi, Tabitha, Christine, Vince, Ash, Leo, Isaac, Jesse, Steven, Rachael, Charlie, Wendy, Laura, Parker, David, Morgan, Quinn, and Hannah. That's just my guess, and I could be off, of course.
