Every Total Drama Season: Worst to Best

Ever since I was in my early teens, I've always loved Total Drama. For years, I've wanted to make a video on this show, and now seemed like a good time to do so.

Fun Fact: The ice dancers in Ridonculous Race were actually referenced at the beginning of the first season. When Trent's introduced he talks to Chris about the ice dancing show he was on, and Beth mentions that she had also watched that show and that one of the contestants dropped his partner on her head. This perfectly lines up with Jacques and Josée's story, which I think is amazing that they created characters off of an obscure moment that no one would easily remember from so early on in the series.

Unpopular opinion: Lindsay swearing out Heather in TDI was a lot funnier censored with massive bleeps. I imagined how many swears she used as a kid and it was great.

i think the reason alejandro is a better villian than heather is because, in season 1, yes, heather was ruthless, but she didn’t try to hide it. everyone knew her intentions and knew she was a threat. but alejandro, like u said, was responsible for about half of the eliminations, and yet, almost everyone didn’t know he was evil.

The Ridonculous Race is so underrated. I'm glad more people are giving it the respect it deserves.

[sketchycat]

The first season is the only one that has the vibe that everyone was close. Like at a certain point in the season when there were only 10 or so campers left there was a real community feel. The summer camp vibes of them all having to live together just really made it feel like they were all good friends sometimes. Everyone had moments with each other that showed that too.

Dude… DUNCAN VS HAROLD FINALE WOULD’VE BEEN FREAKING SICK!!!!
How did I never think of this??? It would’ve been absolutely perfect climatic finish to their rivalry

[T-Jex]

I think Scott is based off a real survivor contestan that actively sabotaged and manipulated his own team, managed to not get eliminated for the entire show, and when it was time for the council to decide who was gonna win the season, everybody hated him and choose the contestan with the least amount of screen time.

Gwen: Mike is evil
Courtney: Mike is evil
Duncan: Mike is evil
Alejandro: Mike is evil
Video evidence: Mike is evil
Mike: I’m evil.
Zoe: hmm guess I’ll take you to the finale!

Glad to know I’m not the only person who thought brick got robbed of being in all stars when somehow Sam got brought back. Even if you go off of how heroic they are, Sam’s most heroic moments were refusing to give up for his team in the spider episode and trying to save Lindsay from the Sasquatch. Brick literally threw the competition they could have easily won in order to save Mike, Zoey, and Cameron from dying in the mines. He literally gave up a chance at a million dollars because he never leaves a man behind. Brick deserved to come back and should have gotten way more screen time in my opinion.

One of Ridonculous Race's strengths was the realism. No radioactive animals, no robots, and characters grounded in reality. Reminded you of Seasons 1 and 2.


Just a chill show about experiencing different cultures! I learned a heck of a lot more from it than during TDWT hehe, although Season 3 was fine in its own right. It's a shame that the Total Drama fandom fizzled out by the time they released TDRR; the crew probably won't be revisiting that leg of the franchise, despite the acclaim I've seen.

[theenderdefender]

I always assumed the Alejandro faking his leg injury was a way to appear weaker to his team do they wouldn't see him as a threat, and thus focus more on people like Heather and Jo

[slimexxot]

Honestly Scott’s plan in Revenge made more sense than you made it out to be. Since the cast was smaller, he knew that the teams would merge sooner or later so it was much easier to sabotage his own team and blame it on one of his teammates rather than break a limb trying to win a bullshit challenge. He even at some points tried to gain sympathy or credibility from other players in the game so that when the teams eventually merged he wouldn’t be an immediate target.

[felizjueves]

Mal doesn’t even feel like a real character, he feels like a edgy deviantart oc.

[guccibeans]

Chris getting those cameras into Mikes actual brain matter is peak film making.

[DerrickVW]

Alejandro pretended his legs were asleep for so long because he knew that would cause the other competitors to underestimate him, allowing him to skirt along for a large portion of the game. That always felt obvious to me

[nuggetsplace]

You know, the good thing about Island, is that ITS ACTIALLY TEEN DRAMA. You know, getting stalked and abused is more adult than getting your diary reader by a Regina George try hard. Idk, the next season don't have that, teen feeling, island had. I can't think of examples, but duncney became WAYYYY too mature in next seasons.

[classicrockkid]

I feel Don has a much more professional presence then Chris did. While Chris did whatever he could to get ratings, you can tell Don is letting his charisma and the interesting locations draw people in. Which in my opinion works well.

[anerrorhasoccurred]

“It feels like there wasn’t any communication behind the scenes for what they wanted to do with Courtney” is the best way to describe her writing I’ve ever heard. I don’t even mind her being a villain or breaking up with Duncan (Scottney is pretty cute!) but the execution is…bizarre 💀

Also, I can’t fully hate ROTI Chris just for _“and if you see the skull and crossbones, we’ll dedicate this episode to you :)”_

[krackacka]

Noah is my absolute favourite character. I love how throughout the Total Drama Timeline, he's able to survive longer and longer in the competitions. And yes he was one of the best characters in World Tour outside of the main rivalry

[marcinjanik]

Ridonculous race had so many characters and so many amazing challanges that I honestly would love to watch you make a whole video about this one season. It's so great and not talked about enough in my opinion. I loved this ranking by the way.
