My Personal Elimination Order For TDAS <3

Hello everyone!!

I asked you guys if you wanted me to share my elimination order for my TDAS rewrite (I have a couple drafts for the first episode, soo it should be done by maybe early August, I also have another question for you guys below the elimination order. Extra notes, even though I wrote about wanting to replace Sam and Sierra, I am just keeping them in and making them early boots because they aren't able to have real plot-lines amongst some of the other ones I have planned out. Also!! Court is the main antag this season, <3)

Spoilers, duh.

Sooo lets get started! It gonna go from episode order (I'm writing extra episodes cuz 13 episodes cannot get a good plot made. Its going to be around 20ish episodes simply cuz I don't think I have the mental energy to all 26, I'm also going to go with like which team won/lost in the actual season as guideline, I will choose which team wins and looses for my filler episodes tho cuz. This is also just the elimination order and some notes on them and the occasional plot reveal (Its only about Scottney sigh). Stay tuned for a bit longer for why they were voted off by the contestants! )

(Heros vs. Villains) Episode one has Sierra gets out, I think she overall didn't bring anything to the table this season so her being out first doesn't really change much besides remove her weird Cameron plot.

(Extra ep) this is a one time only where im writing an extra ep to eliminate a character. Which is Lindsey. I love her so very much but I just dont know how I would be able to fit her into everything else.

(Evil Dread) Episodes three is a double elimination for Jo and Lightning.. They don't really have anything to do this season, every other person on their team is just a lot more scheming than them and they are probably seen as a threat.

(Saving Private Leechball Episode four (I take back what I said about keeping the teams who lost in order. The early outs in my rewrite is so very similar to the original one and I honestly I don't like writing Sam, he barely does anything), soo, Sam gets eliminated in the draft I have so far of this so that's what I'm just gonna say for now. Like I said about Sierra, he doesn't do anything this season and has a lack of character besides being weak link. (Him and Sierras eliminations are pretty interchangeable in both of the WIPs as they r both voted for not being good in the challenges.),,,, (OH Courtney and Heather are the ones to switch teams, instead of Duncan and Courtney...Butt this happens a bit later instead of this ep.. Also Scottney plot starts this ep... i am fixing the pacing you guys)

(Extra Ep) five is a filler ep.

(Food Fright) Episode six has Cameron voted out, I don't really have any notes on this one as this elimination is purely plot based, (which will be seen in the filler ep and this ep)

(Moon Madness), Episode seven. No one is eliminated, Courtney and Heather switch teams. (I wanna like write an entire essay on the reason each character is voted off by their teammates but I kinda also don't wanna spoil everything about the rewrite. this is very sadness.)

filler ep... sorry guys... i know,, i know.. there goes halloween.. Episode eight just needs this... you'll understand when your older.

(No One Eggspects The Spanish Opposition), Episode nine... guys... guys... Mikes out this episode... His plot gets resolved in the filler ep and this ep sooo he finally gets the some-what early boot he deserves <3. (Scottney is a bit more obvious in this episode, there are actually a lot of little tiny hinting scenes in the past 5 episodes so hurrah! we all shout in unison as Scottney become a decently paced thing this season)

(You Regatta Be Kidding Me) Episode ten.. I'm switching the order of the episodes. I know, I know. I just like need to Pace this just a bit better. Heathers out.

(Suckers Punched)Ep.. Eleven,, Duncan is out, Gwen and Courtney do their little fight and then they make up. simple as pie

(Zeek And Ye Shall Find), Gwen is out :(

Extra ep. Merge time! Heather is back. Thats it. (also, there r gonna be less notes on eliminations from this point on cuz the rest of them are all plot driven and I dont wanna give away everything)

(The Obsta-kill course) Alejandro is out

(Sundae Muddy Sundae) GRRRRRR SUNDAE MUDDY SUNDAE MENTIONED IM GONNA THROW HANDS I AHTE THIS EPISDOE. Heather is out :(

(The Bold and Booty-ful) Scotts out. rip.

(The Final Wreck-ening), wow! Zoey made it to the finale in this rewrite! Some notes for this episode cuz im probably just gonna write both Courtney winning and Zoey winning, cuz yeah. There r gonna be three helpers per finalist this time and all they ones that didnt get chosen DONT float away into the sun in a giant fart balloon..

Sooo yay! Thats that. this is subject to change but im pretty set on a Courtney Zoey finale simply cuz they r both like really good characters in their own special way... There will probably be a few more filler episodes, just so I can hit that twenty mark.

Somewhat beta read :)

ALSO!!! Based on everything, the first ep of the rewrite should be out by August 5th. Look out for that!

A questions for all you little ruffians. Because I'm kinda torn on how I wanna write this.

My Takes On Total Drama All-Stars (PART ONE <3)

Hello everyone!! (This is my first post on tumblr, how do i do this) I've been rewatching All-Stars recently and it had so much potential to be one of the best seasons of Total Drama. But as the story goes, it wasexecuted horribly, the pacing sucked, everyone was so ooc it hurt, everything about Courtney, Mike's whole plot. I could go on. Sooo, I rewrote some of the plots to, well, not ruin every single character included in the season.

Here are some things I would've changed about TDAS! <3 (spoliers, duh)

Remove Sam and Sierra from the season all together, Sam by all means is NOT an All-Star, I would've personally replaced him with Brick simply because, Brick was a powerhouse in a lot of the challenges during his time on ROTI, plus, his elimination was just one of the worst ones of the season. I would've replaced Sierra with Beth or Owen (Remind you, are both canonical winners). While Sierra did make it pretty far in her introduction season, she's by-far one of the most blandest characters, (especially without Cody), her whole thing with Cameron was not needed and felt extremely out-of-place. Sierra wasn't needed this season, she's borderline a horrible character, and she just isn't fun to watch without Cody (Even then, it's still extremely uncomfortable),

The whole Mal thing was extremely weird, in hindsight, it could've been super cool to watch, if the characters weren't completely dumbed down to make him even be remotely unsettling. They could've explained his motivations wayyyy better, personally, I like the idea that Mal was a defense mechanism that was created while Mike was in juvie (A plot point in the story that came out of nowhere). It also would've been better if they actually made him a character outside of "Mike's Evil Alter," He could've had a soft-spot for Zoey, making it so he would rig the game, cheat, do actually villainous things just to keep her in the game. He could've actually had motivations and a plan besides "Maybe I can break things." Like every other thing in this season he was just wasted potential.

AND, on the topic of Mike. They maybe could've actually made him a good rep for DID, the ending could've been him realizing that he doesn't need to resent his alters or do something like final fusion, it seemed like the wanted to go somewhere with that in the canon ending, but the fact it just came down to a reset button just seemed extremely, well, weird. Mike was an odd character this season, I think that it would've just been better to make him an early-merge boot. (Hii everyone. I AM NOT a certified psychologist, I am not a professional when it comes to DID. Please reach out if you have DID or are experienced with it because I want to be able to write Mike and his alters without offending anyone, hurting anyone, and by staying true to facts. I did quite a bit of research about DID but once again, I am not a professional and the last thing I want to do is spread misinformation about anything.)

Duncan, oh, Duncan. I saw something about how his little side-plot of him going soft should've been given to Heather. And I could not agree more. Duncan should've had a way earlier boot. I honestly only liked Duncan in Action and Island (mainly because Courtney), he just isn't a good character past World Tour. His breakup with Gwen was so underwhelming, buildup for about 4ish seasons ended with the most simple breakup ever. Personally if I had to choose I would've had Gwen end up with Trent. Gwuncan was bound to fail. They don't have anything in common besides being like a little brooding and wearing black.

On the somewhat topic of Heather. I really do think they should've just given Duncan's plot to Heather. It would've been so much more fun to watch if Heather was still trying to one up Alejandro while thinking she's loosing her edge. I also just loved Heather this season even if she got out way too early. Moonlight Madness was one of my favorite episodes for a reason, her pretending to be affected by the moon was the most in-character thing for her to do this season. It would've been fun for Alejandro and Heather to team up and screw everyone else but alas we can't be happy. I also think Heather leaving the totem is so ooc, she is not the same diva that got like half the cast eliminated in island. She's just so backgroundish this season besides in Moonlight Madness, she doesn't really have a plan, and she just seems completely off her game during All-Stars. She were cute in the finale though.

UHM, I wish they didn't destroy Courtneys character. In my ideal world Courtney would've made it to the finale. She honestly deserves it, also, SCOTTNEY. I love Scottney very very much, they were both screwed over, they are both hated, and they both don't have that many allies. Sure they were very random but just watching them felt so refreshing, I wished they didn't fall in love over the course of three episodes and that it was hinted at earlier in the season, (This probably wouldn't have been a problem if they just gave us 26 episodes instead of 13 All-Star Episodes and 13 P*hkit*w Island episodes) Scottney's dynamic as a whole just felt so much like season one Duncney. I also think that Courntey being a main antag would've been way better than Mal, she only got a few episodes in the limelight during Action, (Where she was the main antag that season). Scottney just should've been endgame imo. Courtney's list is so random, worst plot point ever, it came out of nowhere and could've been handled so much better.

So just to sum up this part, I wish they actually focused more on the characters instead of just rewriting all of them to have seven braincells combined to make Mal more unsettling. They could've had a fun season 1 vs season 2 character finale but they decided not to so they could have basically the same ending. Courtney and Zoey would've been fun to watch in the finale. Overall, no one has any motivations, everyone is just dumbed down to their stereotype or the complete opposite of it, (Courtney being soo type A to the point she makes a drawing of who she wants to eliminate, or Duncan just being a try-hard, when the reason he was liked as a character was because he just didn't care.)

I WILL be rewriting all of All-stars at some point just because I can't settle for the ending we got. Please do reach out if any of you guys have any tips for writing the characters, or just ideas in general, I love hearing what others have to say!

(this wasn't beta read i got too tired :( )
