Well what they're doing seriously isn't working. This time I really feel like there was some sort of deliberate effort to insult us, I don't know how this kind of inconsistent and flatout bad writing got excused and greenlit, let alone animated.

Yeah, Mal really was not an impressive villain by any means, and the sad thing is he had the makings of one of the next great Total Drama villains. I have friends who have written far more gripping takes on an evil personality residing within Mike. (Yeah, I do kind of miss those days; who doesn't miss the days of Total Drama Island? When everything was great?)

Ed MacDonald is such an inept and thoughtless writer. There's no excuse for how much he threw out of whack, and how much the other writers allowed it to go unanswered. It just proves how much they don't care. I hate how character development has taken a backseat to drama and events that simply don't add up in any sensible or meaningful way.

I know what you mean, ten episodes of buildup to their reconciliation and they threw it away at the height of the game? How dare you insult a fanbase like that? Even if you are not one of those invested in that subplot, how can you excuse completely ditching something you dedicated two thirds of the season to and then leave it completely unresolved? Is there really a reason to drag out their conflict anymore now that both of them have gotten over Duncan, the main obstacle to their friendship? Is it really impossible to portray Courtney in any other way but uber-competitive? She has redeeming qualities as seen in Island and the first half of TDWT, and to completely forsake those and to keep flanderizing her really frustrates me. And Gwen's attitude in that episode where they have their latest falling out also bugs me just as bad, especially since she was finally getting her act together. And now she doesn't even seem to care that the friendship she worked so hard to fix is over again? I know Courtney did a stupid and disloyal thing but they didn't talk things out like they should have. And Ed MacDonald's treatment of both of them was truly crass. I seriously don't think the man has seen all of the show, and the producers/directors are too eager to let that sort of thing slide.

Me too man, me too. Heck, I thought this was gonna be Courtney's season. It became obvious that that was not gonna be the case weeks ago, but even at that all I wanted was her redemption, that was all. And they ruined it. These writers just want to keep that old TDA nonsense up again. Guess they forgot most fans hate that season?

It's hard to know what goes on in the minds of the people at Fresh TV. This bad writing seems so deliberate.
