User blog comment:TotalDramaAndrew/The winner of TDAS in Canada?/@comment-1874924-20140326013628

Considering the TDAS storylines (Wifey called Season 5 "Total Drama Mike"), I'm a bit surprised that TDAS had an alternate ending at all.

The fact that a girl has never won a TD season in Canada is old news. I don't really expect Zoey to win the Canadian vote, either, because she's such a polarizing character--people either love her or hate her, with little middle ground--so I suspect that Pahkitew Island will probably have an all-female Final Two to force the issue and to balance ROTI's all-male finale.

As for lobbying people to vote one way or the other, Teletoon probably has the ability to identify and disregard votes that come from outside Canada.

One more thing: Is the Canadian winner even considered the "main" or "official" winner anymore? It made sense when the Canadian market was the first to see a new season, but nowadays the much larger U.S. market sees the new season before Canada does. In any case, most people will vote for the character they like best. I seriously doubt that many people will vote for Zoey just because she's a girl or for Mike just because he's a boy.
