Reboot Cast Rant - Total Drama

If there is a Season 3, Priya should definitely quit early on. Not only because she made final 4 twice and other characters should get the spotlight, but also she should actually stand up to her parents and separate herself from the show.

The main problem with the reboot is that characters dont have any meaningful interactions with people outside there bubble

i think the joke with emily not understanding people is what axel said ''she cant stop making out with the guy who cut her brakes and we think shes a good judge of character'' and i think that is pretty funny

Wayne would be a good winner if he was still dumb but has an arc where he does straight up mind blowing strategies but is too dumb or goofy to notice how much of a good strategizer he is

While this review is a bit harsh, Like Caleb being the worst character and Zee being derailed, I noticed how nearly everyone who isnt a jerk in S2 have really bad endings. Millie gets shunned by everyone, Rat Faces uses Emma's insecurities get her eliminated, Nichelle & Ripper has to pay 1M to Chris and Ripper has co-dependency issues now, Zee pisses everyone off, Damien gets eliminated in the most embarrassing way possible & Caleb is in a toxic relationship. And the worst thing is the jerk characters got off very lightly 2024 should be a season where MOST contestants have a happy ending, not the other way around

Glad to see someone who also believes Zee derailed in S2

I feel like the second worst season thing is a little harsh but I’m glad to find someone who is consistent and strong about there opinions even if some are unpopular

to be fair, millie apologized for being a judgmental person and what she did to damien doesn’t connect to that. i wouldn’t say she is completely irredeemable, i could see her actually reading the binder and comes back to the island with a more strategic gameplay. i could also see millie actively trying to be perceived as a good person by interacting with more people and increasing her social game and go further than priya.

S2 of the reboot only really focusses on certain characters (being Julia & Prileb) while the rest kinda fall into the background (even Wayne, who won the season). Characters like Axel, Nichelle, Emma, MK, Ripper, Damien & Scary Girl had a lot of potential but they either are pretty irrelevant to the plot, barely had anything done to them, get complety derailed for a shitty plotline (Millie) or werent used to their potential (it still is weird that MK and Julia bonded at the start while MK exposed Julia while Julia got her booted.) My boot order would be 16: Chase (his elimination in ep 2 was perfect but i really couldnt think of anyone else to put in this spot, so i think chase is most likely) 15: Millie ( In my universe she never pushed someone of a meat grinder slide & was out probs due to caleb to make Priya's focus be on him or something like that) 14: Scary girl (wish she got further but also, its pretty realistic in my opinion) 13: Emma (i dont mind her placement but i do mind how she got eliminated, like she obviously knows ppl but like idk, make team skunk butt kinda sabotage the other team, tho idk how exactly. Like maybe by swapping the correct answers with the wrog answers and MK probs edits the others by making them say the opposite by other what) 12: Wayne (like him, i think its a fair placement) 11: Bowie (again, a fair placement. But i mind the shit that happend Off screen.) 10. Axel (probs to eliminate a showmance, and cuz axels the bigger threat they vote her off Merge time (a 5 episode pre merge is... something) 9/8. Priya & Caleb (i think them being eliminated together is good ig.. tho i wouldnt mind Priya quitting this season but it is whatever really) 7. Nichelle (idk, probs cuz she used Jerry or smth? I have no clue, or shes voted out due to her ego or something off that nature 6. Julia (i need mk to get julia eliminated for revenge of s1) 5. Raj ( um idk! Its an okay placement ig) 4. Zee (by some purge challlenge ig, i want him to have plot but also my mind doesnt have ideas) 3. Ripper (a redemption arc kinda, development ig) 2. MK (main antagonist, think this is a good placement so yeah!) 1. Damien (i think out of everyone, i think Damien would be the most deserving out of everyone here.) Yeah i dont ideas really, so umm. But i think these placements are good in my eyes. I hate how Scary girls plot is wasted as it was a cool idea.

My main issue is that a lot of them are just 'playing" the game so we don't get the meaningful interactions since when you compare 2 characters like heather and Julia since Julia has (i think) a better placement ratio getting 4th then 3/2nd heather is still better due to her interactions

The cast started off so strong, it’s sad that almost all of them (with the exceptions of Julia and MK) got derailed in Season 2…

My thoughts on all the reboot characters Caleb - Boring character that could have been good in season 2 Axel - cool design that went to total waste on Gidgette 2.0 Nichelle - BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOORIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIING Lauren - my favourite reboot character. Appeals to my love of goofy horror and she's got a great design. Hope she does well in a future season and I think she could work great as a meme villain like Max or Justin Damien - I liked him decently enough in season 1, season 2 he was a great character who deserved better the elimination he got MK - I wasn't crazy about her in season 1 but I loved her in season 2 Wayne and Raj - good comic relief characters. I was okay with Wayne winning tbh Ripper - hated him in season 1. Season 2 he had the potential to be good but it went to waste thanks to making him Gidgette 2.0 Zee - one of the best characters in season 1, totally wasted and derailed in season 2 Chase - he's kinda hit or miss for me in season 1. Season 2 he was pretty funny Emily - wasn't a big fan in season 1, didn't leave much of a meaningful impression in season 2 Julia - I wasn't crazy about her in season 1, but I thought she was pretty good in season 2 when she wasn't consulting wizards to do things off screen for her. Loved her bits with MK Millie - wasn't a fan in season 1, annoying fodder in season 2 Bowie - just a great and well written character Priya - white bread in season 1, the worst part of season 2 Chef - I like his bit where he calls out the contestants before the marshmallow is given out but he's nothing compared to how he was in the original trilogy Chris - I kinda almost see Terry Chris and Potenza Chris as 2 different entities even though they aren't if that makes any sense idk. I like most people prefer OG Chris but I think Terry does a good job voicing him.

i think emma would work better with caleb... not as in dynamics but in the sense it kinda makes sense cause she couldve developed trust issues from chase and then she would trust someone again and be betrayed... it would maximize the effect or something.

I agree with a lot of your points about Caleb post the pinball episode, but I disagree about you saying that he was a villain early on. This may be just me, but I never saw him as a villain in the early episodes, it doesn’t seem like he was being a sneaky manipulator trying to trick Priya into falling in love with him, he was just trying to get closer to her to convince her to make an alliance with him and “flirting” is the only way he knows how to do that. It sounds stupid, but Caleb is pretty stupid when it comes to social skills, there’s hints throughout the show that he doesn’t really get to socialize all that much because of how much his parents demand of him, and given how everyone around him seems to fall in love with him, it does seem a bit more logical that acting flirty and smooth is the only way Caleb understands to interact with others. I don’t think he was necessarily trying to trick Priya, but that he thought they were both on the same page about this whole thing just being an alliance and after Zee introduces the idea of it becoming something more, he actually thinks about it and likes the idea. Again, this just how I interpreted it on my first watch, and I haven’t watched S2 in a while, so my memory about the episodes is a little foggy. I do agree with you that Caleb took a huge nosedive after Ep 8 (Well, I guess episode 10 to be more specific), I don’t think it was bad enough to make him THE worst character in the whole show (In fact, I still like him), but yeah, it was REALLY bad, I did mostly like him in the Finale, but in episodes 10 - 12? Yikes…

I agree with everything said about MK, I really hope that if a s3 happens, that julia is a early boot, so MK can fulfill her potential, instead of being julia's sidekick

Also, I feel like they should do a new cast next the reboot cast or a second chance season since it already feels like the reboot cast is complete and the only characters that don't really feel like their characters are done to their full potential Damien, Nichelle, Scary Girl, Emma and Chase (Kinda?) they could easily get put into another season like second chance since that's another reality show parody total drama hasn't done yet which is second chances / redemption. It could also be a good reason to bring back some old td characters that didn't really get far / spotlight in their seasons. Examples: Justin, Eva, Katie, Sadie, Trent, Harold, Dawn, B, Brick, Staci, Sammy, Beardo, Topher etc.

Finally someone who realizes Caleb is annoying

After sitting with both reboot seasons for a while, i definitely agree with you that A) Millie should have won season 1 instead of Priya (my Discord friends have my head on a stick for this take) B) Even though I was a fan of Julia in season 1, she should have been eliminated in episode 6 and MK be the main villain instead. C) Like i said in my video a little bit, Wayne was made even dumber than season 1 and he's no longer competitive at all

Season 1 walked so that season 2 could trip and fall

If they get a s3 and s4 these two things imo should happen. - 1 Make the characters interact with more people outside of their group for example, in Damiens elim episode it's one of the few times he interacts with Julia and it's really good to see Damien and Julia interact. these two play well off each other and it would be cool to see more interactions like this with Axel for example. literally the only people i can think of that have good relationship outside of their og teams that doesn't ruin each others characters is Wayne, Raj, and Damien SORT OF. And - 2 eliminate some of the higher performing characters earlier to give characters who have no character... A character- Nichelle, the third paul brother, and emma who sadly doesn't do anything that doesn't relate to the third paul brother.
