Discussion. Ive finished the second half of World Tour and, as with the first half, I have thoughts. First lets talk about Duncan's return. In the first half of the season I thought of his absence as a breath of fresh air. It was so refreshing not having to rely on him for conflict for once.
35 Good Things: 1- The idea of going around the world is a really cool concept. 2- Introducing Alejandro,Sierra and Blainley brought in some variety. 3- Tyler,Ezekiel,Cody and Noah were all brought back and given more screentime (with some being worse or better than others).
Part 1. Part 2. Overall thoughts on the season (way longer analysis this time) I think this is one of the better seasons, despite having some major flaws. There’s a good amount of plots or characters that are pretty controversial (DJ’s Animal Curse, Love Triangle, Cody’s characterization, Blaineley’s debut or general character, and etc.).
The 22 campers from Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action are joined by two new competitors for a tour around the world. Having been a year since their previous reality tv endeavors, the cast is more determined than ever to win. Who will come out on top at the end? Find out right here on Total Drama World Tour!

Talk:Total Drama World Tour/Archive Sixteen
Wow, only a month ago, but it feels like months. That, my friends, is where I began the "Ezekiel in the Volcano" theory in response to people's claims at the time Alejandro would throw the money into the volcano on purpose. Now it's September 1st, and we're done - all of the episodes have leaked online from Australia, and we're only waiting on Canada and Cartoon Network's airing to declare the official winner.
Total Drama World Tour has ended it's twenty-six episode run, and I'm surprised in many ways. I enjoyed it - even though there were a hell of a lot of spoilers, it was fun and we still got plenty of surprises. We had some running gags ranging from horrendous and rather stupid (DJ's Animal Curse) to what was brilliant foreshadowing, had we not been spoiled (Ezekiel's cameos) - in addition, we had some plotlines also with incredible range from boring and pointless (The Love Triangle) to really sweet (Tyler and Lindsay). Certain plotlines, in my opinion - notably Noah and Owen's budding friendship, Owen and Izzy's near-breakup, Brainzilla herself and the Courtney-Alejandro relationship - seem fairly neglected.
The challenges this season range from awesome to meh: we get some pretty cool challenges in Jamaica. But nearly every location's first challenge is a race - which, while interesting, gets steadily boring once the merge creeps up on us. And as a result of splitting the challenges, a few neat ones, like the hotly anticipated Niagra Brawls challenge, seem to get almost shafted for the sake of it being a half-hour show. Not to mention, with all of the races, certain challenges seem just a bit improperly utilized - Australia, London, France and China are shining examples in that while we get a taste of the place, it still doesn't feel like the right place.
The songs are incredibly ranged - which is a good thing, in my opinion - the TDWT songwriters put a lot of work, I think, into giving each location a distinctive style about it. But the simplest of songs seem to stand out - Eine Kleine is a fan and personal favorite for it's very simplicity. We also got Sea Shanty Mix among other simple songs. More ambitious songs, such as This Is How We Will End It however, are very styled - which makes it a bit harder to come to a conclusion - if you don't like a certain style, the entire song seems ruined.
In addition to the Big Eleven who've been in all three seasons, we get quite a few underdogs returning - fan favorites Noah, Cody, Ezekiel and Tyler are all back for the third season and get some fair development. At the same time, a lot of the season's biggest hopefuls, like Bridgette and Harold go out early thanks to Alejandro, and while a shame, it lets the underdogs perform a bit longer - while Noah doesn't get much actual development, he gets some nice quips and an interesting yet stand-out elimination in I See London... while Ezekiel maintains a presence post-elimination, Tyler plays a big role in the love triangle and Cody makes it to the final three. I do consider it a shame Eva, Sadie and Katie sit out two seasons in a row though.
We also got some new contestants - Sierra, Alejandro and Blaineley. Alejandro is much like Justin in that a major power with him is his charm - he puts it to work on Bridgette, LeShawna, Courtney and Heather, and to a lesser degree Lindsay. But Alejandro has more up his sleeve - notably, he messes with Harold and DJ's minds. But the real thing that makes Alejandro so interesting among fans is his attraction to Heather. Personally I felt it was too much of a rehash of Justin, even though he was different.
Sierra and Cody felt more like a bad attempt at humor until the last couple of episodes. Most of the series has Sierra stalking Cody endlessly, or kissing him, or something else - as a result, Cody does VERY little as an independent character during the season, and his own participation is limited - he felt to me like only Sierra's chewtoy. His attraction to Gwen even has almost subsided, aside a few notable incidents. In the final episodes, they forge a friendship but the "You remembered my birthday?" thing was a little too cheesy for me - I was fine with the idea of them becoming friends, but it seemed too easy to go that path - I am glad they weren't paired off though.

Two of my fanfic in development Total Drama Unleashed's challenges were actually used in TWDT - the underwater challenge appeared in "Jamaica Me Sweat" and the blindfold challenge appeared in "Niagra Brawls" - as a result, I am cutting both of these challenges. The latter was somewhat integral to an elimination. Also, I've cut Blaineley's brief stint and let Cody back in. It's also influencing my thoughts on how to treat Ezekiel within the series. On the bright side, it convinced me to do a post-TWDT special to bridge the gap and introduce Alan :D
Thanks for reading dudes. - John
