I just saw Total Drama: The Ridonculous Race, and I've also seen every episode of Total Drama. Just before I start the review, major spoil alert. So if you haven't seen this show, and want to actually watch it to find out what happened, do not see this review. Anyway, so first off, I overall liked Total Drama better, but this is pretty cool. I'll go for the reasons why I like, and dislike this series. About 4 characters (Geoff, Owen, Noah, and Leonard) from the original characters return for this show. But that's not a bad thing. Most of the new characters are rather likable. That, or you just love to hate them. On an opposite note, you just hate them. I mean, I'm glad that Geoff, Owen, and Noah from the first season of the Total Drama returned, but all three of them seem a little less intelligent than they did in the original series. I never really liked Noah in general, but fortunately, he gets a little less sarcastic on this show. That, and I ended up rooting for him because he developed a crush on a character named Emma. As new characters, Emma, and her sister Kitty are likable. Well, at least Kitty was. Emma, at first, was a total jerk. But as she started her relationship with Noah, she got more likable. Now for the last returning character, Leonard, who was on the last season, Total Drama: Pahkitew Island. I thought that was the weakest season. People say that Leonard was in both seasons for absolutely no reason, but honestly, I think he's funny. His belief in wizards just makes me laugh. It's his partner Tammy that I hate. Actually, I don't really hate her. I just never got to know her character. Then again, that was mostly because Leonard, and Tammy were the first ones voted off. The next two voted off are some of the first adult contestants in the Total Drama franchise. They were Gerry, and Pete, the tennis rivals. I dislike them. They jokes were simply unfunny, and they were generally annoying. I'm pretty glad they were voted off early. I pretty much hated how Chet, and Lorenzo, the Step-Brothers, were always fighting, and I never really paid attention to them. Tom, and Jen, the Fashion Bloggers, were bland, and like the Step-Brothers, I never paid attention to them. And as for the Geniuses, Ellody, and Mary, I never really got the point of them. They almost seemed to be opposites. Mary didn't speak until their last episode, and Ellody talked all the time. To other characters who really annoyed me were the Adversity Twins, Jay, and Mickey. No offense to people who face challenges, but everything for them was so dramatic. Another kid character who got on my nerves was Taylor, the daughter on the Mother and Daughter team. She was annoying spoiled brat, and I was so relieved when she was eliminated. I feel so bad for her mother, Kelly. And by the way, no offense to goths, but the Goths, Ennui, and Crimson, just freaked me out. Also, no offense to vegans, but they totally annoyed me. I mean, Laurie, and Miles just went overboard with being vegans, such as believing in various spirits. It just got tiring after a while. Also, one of the Rockers, Spud, got on my nerves after a while. He was constantly letting down his teammate, Rock. I wondered why Rock picked Spud as his teammate. I haven't talked about Geoff in a while, but his teammate on his team the Surfers, Brody, was a little dumb, but still likable. Now, my favorite female character on this show was MacArthur on the Police Cadets. She was tough-witted, strong, and interesting. I also like her partner Sanders. If you're wondering, I saw the ending where the Police Cadets won instead of the Surfers. I though it was a pretty good ending overall. My favorite couple was probably (eventually) Carrie, and Devin. I liked the "will they, or will they not" story line between them. I mean, they originated as the Best Friends, hence their team name. Speaking of couples, I liked the Daters, Ryan, and Stephanie, but after they started fighting, they got pretty annoying. Well, mostly Stephanie did. She kept bossing Ryan around like nobody's business, and I ended up feeling bad for Ryan. Now, I think the best villains on this show were the the Ice Dancers, Jacques, and Josee. They were pretty intimidating, especially Josee. But my favorite character on this show is Junior, from the Father and Son team. I'm about his age, so I can really relate to him. He's constantly embarrassed by his father, Dwayne, and I can relate to him on that. I'm constantly embarrassed by my mother. I think Junior might just be my favorite character in the entire Total Drama Franchise. And finally, a reality show isn't complete without its host. Don (No last name) is the host of the show, hence the title The Ridonculous Race. He's apparently "as smooth as a piece of toast". In my opinion, he's also as bland as a piece of toast. Obviously I liked Chris, and Chef, and Don eventually got on my nerves. He's too concerned about being the perfect host, and isn't evil enough that you love to hate him. I liked most of the challenges, and the characters. Even though the show isn't as good as its predecessor, but it's pretty good overall. The show's worth watching at least once.
