Total Drama All-Star's Weird Cast Explained

All starts should be renamed to 'Mal + Zoey and the others.' Cuz that's all it is tbh.

I feel like sierra being in all stars wouldn't be a bad choice but they completely ruined her to some kind of weirdo. I loved her in world tour and hated her in all stars. Tbh, i kinda hate how everybody acted in all stars in general. Zoey was plainly stupid just... because. And Mal was just... what?

i wouldve liked the idea of Heather and Alejandro being invited but refusing to be another season on the show giving more space to people with uncompleted arcs

Overall I think an All Stars season should've been 26 episodes long and with a bigger cast, at least 18 contestants or so would've been better.

This was really good, loved your explanations! We often only think about meta reasons why characters aren’t included so this was extremely creative to come up with in-universe explanations. Very nice vid! I thought you might mention Owen and Noah couldn’t compete because they signed up for RR. Maybe they had the option to pick and they chose the RR formula while everyone else chose the “tried and true” game since they weren’t familiar with a new concept. It would also explain Geoff. By the way… when you said “Sierra was included because the writers really liked her actresses’s performance” I immediately thought of Priya. It’s no secret her VA is really sweet and kind. Terry praises her a lot so I imagine that’s why she got enough full season in reboot.

i read that owen was cut because of the strain it put on scott mccord's voice

With All-Stars going on 10 years at this point, I do wish we had a bigger cast of people like Owen, Noah, Tyler, Brick, and Anne Maria. Even with that it did have its moments. Something’s entertaining about seeing a group together you wouldn’t normally think as affiliated with each other. The teams in the 5th episode show this

My personal theory for Owen not appearing is that he and Noah were already competing on reality shows so he was competing elsewhere and couldn't join All-Stars, but was freed up by the end, hence the cameo.

This is a pretty good video. I’ve always had this head canon in my mind, so it’s cool to see someone actually acknowledge it in a video.

All stars feels like someone’s oc. Mike and Zoey should’ve been the first pair to boot

This would be my cast Heroes: Owen, Leshawna, zoey, Mike, brick, Cameron, sierra, and Courtney Villains: Jo, Scott, lightning, Gwen, Duncan, Heather, Alejandro, and Anne Maria

All stars is world tour vs revenge

I think Owen Cody Anne Maria and Brick were suppose to be in all stars, but they got cut off to have 13 episode formula

what about BRIDGETTE she NEEDED another season without Geoff and a revenge arc on Alejandro

Well done video, was waiting for ya to cover All Stars in some capacity. Keep it up, as these are engaging to listen to.

I’m pretty sure the season was initially supposed to be 22 contestants since 20 characters received individual scenes in the first All-Stars trailer and even though Mike and Gwen didn’t receive individual scenes, they had too big of a role to not be in the season originally. Everyone who received an individual scene was: Courtney, Duncan, Leshawna, Harold, Sierra, Cody, Alejandro, Heather, Owen, Noah, Justin, Lindsay, Brick, Anne Maria, Zoey, Lightning, Cameron, Sam, Jo, Scott

I figured that Chris just picks and chooses who competes

You think Noah and Owen were already reality tv pros by this point? I like to believe so, also great theory vid!

Personally sierra being in all stars was fine she did well in her season and it’s unfair to not add her considering she was in one season and did well

i kinda wish justin was in all-stars if him and alejandro are both in it, it would be a great rivalry between them with getting more attention or smth.
