Line 48:
** It is persumed that Trent hates Gwen for dating Duncan behind his back in TDA. The only revenge that Trent got on Gwen was writing a hate song about her, dating Katie and Sadie to spite Gwen, and then letting her be hated among the viewers.
* Why was Alejandro such a [[Villain Sue]]? It can be interpreted that Chris and the producers were editing the footage to make him appear better than everyone (which incidentally stopped when Duncan returned to the game, since he's an equally [[Genre Savvy]] character. ~[[Tropers/Cheap Sugar|Cheap Sugar]]
* Alejandro manipulating Harold into eliminating himself in Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan. At first, I couldnt understand why he would care which member of Team Victory got voted off since the team would still be one member short. In fact, it was revealed the member who was to be voted off was DJ whose strength would have been a great asset for future challenges and been a loss similar to how Heather tricked the Killer Bass in TDI into voting off Eva who was one of the most strongest and athletic players. But then I realized something, out of the members of Team Victory, Harold was the highest ranked one in TDA managing to get up to the final five. His whole character is based on being a [[Crouching Moron, Hidden Badass]] who when times gets rough manages to pull his team up with a hidden skill. Heck, he was responsible for scoring the first two wins for the Killer Bass with skills they hadnt known before and pulling them out of their first losing streak. Despite this no one takes Harold seriously. Of course, Alejandro would have watched Total Drama before participating and been able to analyze the characters beforehand, gauging their strengths and weaknesses and which ones would likely be an obstacle. Alejandro recognized him as a threat and decided to eliminate him early before he could pull off any wins for his team. For this troper, this seemed to establish Alejandro's manipulative nature and ability to read people since he saw a potential threat that no one else did. In addition, Harold's elinimation allowed him an opportunity to work on Leshawna without a suspicious cruch questioning his moves and attempting to drive him away
** Not only that, but given that Harold knew quite a bit about Japan and probably knew some (or maybe a good amount) of the Egyptian Language, who's to say he wouldn't also know a good amount about the [[Genre Savvy|other countries and cultures they'd visit in the future]]?
* Been thinking way too much lately, but something that bugged me was how the Courtney/Duncan/Gwen love triangle was able to cause so much damage? Couldn't any of the three have talked it out with each other or used the other campers as mediators to help do so? But then I realized, every possible mediator had been eliminated or disabled by this point. From the people eliminated up to these events occurred, Harold, Bridgette, Leshawna, Lindsay, and DJ, generally all kind, easy-going people, could each have acted as a mediator or go-between to help lessen or repair the damage the love triangle would cause. By the time Duncan returns and everything hits the fan, none of them are left. There was still the possibility of Owen doing something to help mediate things too, but that was the purpose of Izzy and Noah's eliminations. With the two of them gone, Owen was lost in grief and worried Alejandro would take him out next. Coincidence? Probably. It's true that Chris had no way to know that Duncan would come back at that point, but looking at it from this perspective, the triangle was deliberately triggered so that everyone who was left in the either game had something to do with the triangle or cared too much about themselves to do anything to lessen the damage.
** Could be possible that Cody, Sierra, or even Heather can help, but here are the reasons, Sierra is willing to get Gwen off the show while Cody is an Asshole to Duncan. But Heather is the only chance Gwen has to be saved, unfortunately that got ruined when Courtney got Heather jealous by flirting with Alejandro as part of his own plan. So basically, the [[Complete Monster|true complete monster]] of the love triangle is Alejandro, not Duncan, Gwen and Courtney.
** Another one: In the last episode of Season 1, Gwen's insult to three-quarters of the entire cast was a big-time [[Out
* At first, when I found out there were aliens in the series in the show, I was disturbed. But then I remembered everything they went through, like when Justin was pushed off the tower by Courtney, he would have died when he landed. Let it sink in for a moment.
** There's also the fact that the show has featured Yetis, talking worms, remote-controlled clouds, sabretooth beavers and man-eating baby goats. When you take that into consideration, aliens seem almost normal.
Line 82:
* In "One Flu Over the Cuckoo's", a member of the winning team would get a chance to hang out with their friend/family member of their choice. Duncan's "friend" was his parole officer. At first, this seems like a joke in that this was the only person they could trust Duncan to be around. But if you notice, the parole officer has Tyler's old design. In the original Camp TV promo, Duncan and (old) Tyler were shown to be friends. [[Development Gag|So it makes sense, Duncan and that guy have been friends ever since the beginning!]] - philipthepatsy
* Sierra has been said to act like someone in a Self Insert Fanfic. Being the crazed [[Fan Girl]] she is, she probably ''did'' write a few of those. She's just bringing them to life now that she's actually in the game
* Gwen's confessional callout in the final episode of ''Island'': it seemed originally like a way to make us hate her so that Owen could walk away with the money, or at least a ridiculous [[Out
* You know how ''Total Drama World Tour'', was supposed to be called ''Total Drama: The Musical'', but because of fan rejection it was changed? Well, I realized that the new name has a double meaning; they are indeed travelling around the word, but the ''Tour'' part can also refer to a concert tour! This way, the original name and the whole concept are being kept together!
** Me again! In ''Total Drama Revenge of the Island'' we have 13 new charcaters, one of which (Ann Maria) is based on Snooki from MTV's ''Jersey Shore''. And then we have Mike, who not only looks exactly like one of the actors from MTV's ''Disaster Date'' (same hair,same stature and same skin color), but also has a split personality disorder, which could refer to how the actors on ''Disaster Date'' always play different people. This way, there are '''2''' MTV shows ''Total Drama'' is spoofing this season!
Line 89:
* Leshawna's Elimination in TDA. Duncan is the main reason why Leshawna was eliminated. He suggested that the alliance vote off Leshawna. He even got Justin, and Courtney to join his vote. Then, Duncan and Courtney were shown convincing Harold to vote off Leshawna.
* I know a few people were confused at Ezekiel's first elimination. "There were 6 guys and only 5 girls, how did Courtney not get voted off?" but then you may realize-not every guy voted for Courtney. Tyler, DJ Duncan and Geoff probably did, since DJ and Geoff probably listened to Duncan's advice to vote her off and Tyler got nervous that she randomly suggested he gets the boot, Harold probably voted for Duncan because he was [[Genre Savvy|smart enough]] to realize they may have a conflict later on, and Ezekiel? he voted for Eva, because she strangled him and he was terrified of her. If all the girls did vote for Ezekiel, it would be Zeke-5, Cortney-4, Eva-1, Duncan-1, which is why Duncan and Eva were last to recieve a marshmallow before Courtney!
* Several people wonder why Gwen is subject to most of the in-universe hate over the love triangle in World Tour. The reason is that she kissed, and stole, the boyfriend of someone who was supposed to be her friend. On top of that, Heather kissed Trent in front of Gwen in Island, so she knows the pain that Courtney is going through. However, where as Heather kissing Trent was a stunt, Gwen and Duncan became a couple. [[Nice Job Breaking It, Hero]].
** And considering Courtney found out about Harold's vote rigging later on, who's to say everyone never found out about her huge rant in the season 1 finale. Plus, she clearly had no resentment for how heartbroken Trent was with her freindship with Duncan in season 2.
* Why is everyone on whatever team Scott is on holding an [[Idiot Ball]], while the people who aren't get evicted? Because this ''is'' a stealth parody of ''[[Survivor]]: Samoa'' - which, at the time, had the ''stupidest'' cast in the history of Survivor.<ref>For those who don't know, the current award for "Dumbest cast" has to go to the Ometepes in Redemption Island, who did not vote out a [[
* When I saw Dakota at first, I thought her to be a shallow character, an [[Attention Whore]] and so, at first. But then I realized something: in her entire life she was treated as a shallow character by everyone surrounding her, so when Sam started to respect her, she felt respected and her character started to gain more depth. It shows that even shallow characters can be good characters and can be considered an anvilicious way to tell [[Give Geeks a Chance]].
* In ''Up the Creek,'' Gwen saying that Cody is like an annoying little brother makes more sense when you realize that she actually does have a little brother, who showed up in her video message from home.
