User blog:Sprinklemist/Total Drama: Pacific Islands Rankings (by Sprink)

Alrighty. If you haven't heard about TDIwriter's latest story, Total Drama: Pacific Island, you're missing out. If you have read it, you're on the bandwagon and actually know something about what this blog is about. But seriously. This story is really great. It's well written, entertaining, funny, and the characters already have a lot of personality. Check it out, for your own good.

So, now that that introduction is out of the way. Let's get on with what you came here to see...



Surprise Shirt Off!

Okay, now that that's out of the way, I can post my boring old rankings, of super epic characters (characters that are both exciting and new). This is just my opinion. No reason to get upset if it's different from yours.


 * 1) First off is Hudson. Hudson is a wannabe detective, and the 'wannabe' represents the fact that he's not very good at his passion. Hudson was hilarious as he tried to find the casts' gangster, but failed, despite insurmountable evidence. He also tried to find out what was wrong with Meredith, but... well, he failed again, but it was all really funny. I'm especially fond of detective fiction, so Hudson's character especially appeals to me, and he didn't disappoint. I even went with him in the character guessing contest, though I have this nagging feeling that he's an early out. I picked him, because TDIwriter's eliminations can be pretty unpredictable, so if I overthought who I thought might win, I'd be wrong, anyway. So I made things easy on myself by picking my favorite.
 * 2) Speaking of my favorite, it's my second favorite! That's right, it's Christy! Wait? Oh, right. Yes, it's Christy. I was not expecting to like her as much as I did, but I enjoyed the fact that she was tough on herself and served as steady comic relief and 'straight man' to new host, Dirk McGrath.
 * 3) Next up is Kirk. I like him and his character. I relate to the fact that he thinks maybe a little too much about what others think about him. I like that he seems to be a nice guy that genuinely cares about people.
 * 4) Broderick is up. His shirt off with Paxton was so epic I made a chibi version of it. I like that he's such a strong personality and that you can tell that he's pretty unaware of how he comes across. I'm excited to see how he develops, and I hope he has time to.
 * 5) My fourth favorite is Jeffrey. I know some like him and some don't like him, but I'm in the like him camp. He had some of the most hilarious moments for me, and I honestly really like positive people like Jeffrey.
 * 6) My sixth favorite is Sawyer. He was one of the last characters to be revealed, but I liked what I saw. He seems to be another genuinely nice guy, but he struggles with his temper. I like that aspect, because it adds more to the usual nice guy personality. I do fear that his temper might do him in earlier than later.
 * 7) This spot goes to Judd. I had a big smile on my face when he spoke, because I loved reading his dialogue. He seems pretty sinister to me, while keeping a jolly good front. I also enjoyed his interactions with a similarly violent character, being Cooper. I can tell they're going to clash, since Cooper isn't for senseless violence, while Judd is. I can't wait to see what happens with both guys, even if their storylines don't intersect.
 * 8) Barbara goes here. I liked Barbara, because she seemed nice. She has a stutter, but she tries to work with it, as much as she can. I find that admirable. I have a speech impediment, too, though not quite the same one. I still feel like I can relate.
 * 9) I also quite liked Erica. She was sweet, and everything, but I didn't find her boring. I liked that the guys were all drawn to her. I'm so rooting for a relationship with Wheeler to happen, but I won't hold my breath. XD
 * 10) The number ten spot goes to Brittney. I felt like she was a pretty unique character. She's not ashamed of her nerdy side, but she also fills the pretty girl role. I found a lot of what she said to be pretty funny.
 * 11) I liked a lot of the characters, so making this list is hard. I really enjoyed Wheeler, too, but he's forced to #11 because I did like others more. I like how he questions people when they state wrong facts, and I do find him funny. I especially like, though, that he's insecure in his appearance and allows it to hold him back a little bit. I think everyone is insecure about something (except maybe Broderick, who may or may not have something to hide XD), so it makes him relatable.
 * 12) I liked Cooper enough to place him here. He's one of the less hilarious characters, but I did find him both intriguing and endearing. I like that he seems to have tried to take Antonio under his wing a little bit. I look forward to more, but I fear that things may not go as smoothly with/for him as they did in the first chapter.
 * 13) I didn't purposely put him as #13... Okay, I did, but I do like him. I think his odd pseudo-friendship with Broderick is really funny. I also liked when he had near accidents, but escaped them unscathed. I do fear that he'll blow a challenge (or several) and get eliminated for that, but we'll see if his good fortune helps him at the elimination ceremonies.
 * 14) I found Diamond to be pretty funny. I look forward to more from her.
 * 15) Here's another one that seems on the fence for many, but I did enjoy Nora. What I liked about her most was that when she'd accuse people of being things I'm assuming they're not she'd attack or jump at them and always fail. I also liked the absurdity of her accusations, and the waxing yeti one was my favorite. XD
 * 16) I really enjoyed Martina, and the scenes that her presence created, but I want to see more of her to get a better idea of her. I'm sure more will come out, though.
 * 17) I also enjoy Meredith, but I think she might get a higher ranking if she gets more story time.
 * 18) This low rank means little. I really like Marvin and found him funny, and unexpected. I got a big surprise when he revealed his true nature. I really loved how he'd ask if he did well when he said things. XD I hope he gets some development, though. I want to see why he's just so mean. I have a tiny idea, but I don't want to mention it in such a public forum (that only TDIwriter may read, anyway).
 * 19) I liked a lot of the moments provided by Lori, I just found some of those moments pretty awkward. I guess that was the point, though. XD What I mean, though, is that they were more uncomfortable, at times.
 * 20) I do like Katherine fine, but I don't think she made too huge of an impression on me, either way. I do wonder how she will play into this story.
 * 21) Okay, ya'll. Don't hate on me for this low ranking, but this is where Robin goes on my list. I liked her dark persona, and how she was mostly eerie. I just feel like her treatment of Kirk was pretty uncalled for. I figure that it's some sort of foreshadowing, so I hope they do resolve things.
 * 22) And lastly, and leastly, it's Antonio. I found myself feeling really sorry for him, and he was annoying at times. But the good news is that I did like some moments from him comedically, and I liked his friendship with Cooper. I hope it lasts, and Cooper can help him with how he portrays himself, a little. This whole cast is pretty likable, though, so this low ranking doesn't mean that I despise him.

And those is my opinions. I hope you loved it. 8D
