What if in season 3 of Total Drama, Chris didn't force the contestants to sing at random parts during episodes. SORRY FOR THE WAIT Tier list: tiermaker.com/...
I love the character development for Cody and Tyler, who never got that in the show and cody feels more self-actualized than in the actual TDWT season. tyler just rocked, it was awesome to see him go so far in the rewrite. Sierra also had some nice development; anything that makes her not an insufferable stalker who faces no consequences for her actions is a win in my book.
It was worth the wait, loved Noah and Tyler in it, love triangle was far more manageable and Sierra was way better. I agree there is no better finale then Alejandro and Heather but the one you ended up with is a great alternate option.
Honestly, I really like the character development from Cody and Tyler throughout this what if. Some of these characters that had nothing going on during the actual show getting their flowers in these what ifs is my favourite parts of these.
I think a nice "shorter" what if would be "What if Owen's family never blew the money on a Cheese Cellar" Gives us an interesting final part of action with no-one coming back. Only covers 6 episodes.
I would also like to say that I have loved all your recent stuff, your understanding of the characters and also adherence to their logic, and the shows logic is really great. Top stuff :D
Worth the wait! Hope you doing better in your day to day life! Now i think i have an interesting What if suggestion: What if the mosquito didnt bite Sam in All Stars episode 2? This one has big potential cause it brings 3 big changes: - Sam isnt too weak to help in the challenge, so the heroes might win before the villans notice that Lightning cost them the challenge! - Sam wouldnt feel so in debt to the heroes to offer himself for boney island, so someone else could take his place. It would also mean that Sam woudnt be a burden for the heroes next challenge, so they might win the cannon instead of the villans - Without Sam having gone to Boney island twice, he wouldnt cheat in the pancake challenge, so he would prolong his stay Anyways, i really like this whatif concept, cause it could mean that early boots in allstar like Lightning, Joe, and Sam, could have a diferent direction. Either way, have a good one, and thanks for the awesome videos!
You've done a fair bit of Island what ifs but if I could suggest any its either what if Sadie swapped teams with someone instead of Kadie and Izzy or what probably isn't manageable but is a good thought experiment for anyone wanting to make their own is what if in Island the teams where decided by the order the contestants showed up in. So first 11 on Bass rest on Gophers.
New idea and this is a fun one what if the original cast returned for revenge of the island u will have to make it a smaller cast but I recon it would be fun
A Good Idea About Alejandro In Tyler's Ending, I Think Instead Of Putting Him In The Robot Suit, That Since Heather Is Supporting Alejandro I Think She'll Be Able To Pull Him Away With Her Hands When The Cast Evacuates The Volcano, Then We'll Have Another Private Moment Scene With Them Being Frustrated That Tyler Beat Him But At Least They Have Each Other (Maybe Also With A Kiss) Before A Long Shot At The Cast Swimming Away While Escaping From A Boulder
This was a pretty good ending for the What-If. I really like how much more character development Tyler had in this and Cody and Sierra were also really good. There’s not much else to say, pretty good video… “Time to pay back that favor” “I like girls” “Then why are you blushing”
FINALLY, after all this time, it has DROPPEDDDDDDD AHHHHHHHH BTW, would you plan on continuing this what if into TDAS, considering the different placements? Also, what if suggestion: Island w/o anyone returning in the merge
OH LETS GO I WAS WONDERING WHEN THIS WOULD COME OUT African Lying Safari is one of my fav episodes and i was wondering what would happen there lol will comment again once i finish this vid
Hey, before I give my take on this What-If as a whole. I want to say from the bottom of my heart that I wish you the best of luck and endeavors in managing your mental health. As my favorite TD UA-camr, I hope you can overcome these hardships to become a successful writer. Your What Ifs is what rekindled my love for Total Drama and discovering the fact that you aren’t in the right head space is heart breaking. Although the circumstances, I’m confident that you’re able to move forward and bounce back stronger than ever before. On to the review: Part 1: Highlights: Team Amazon: a) The democracy arc between Cody Vs Heather Vs Courtney was excellent. b) Cody becoming more assertive and confident in himself. Lowlights: a) #RobbedEzekielDevelopment: Watching how much development Ezekiel got in your “What If: Ezekiel wasn’t sexist (Parts 1 & 2)” compared to this What If is quite upsetting. Personally I would’ve really loved to see Team Home Boy as an actual solo team or B plot. b) #RobbedDJDevelopment: Same case with Ezekiel, DJ was a central character in “What If: DJ didn’t have the animal curse” it just sucks he wasn’t as explored as he could have been. Of course, not every character can have equal development or screen time in an 18 cast, 26 episode season so I am 100% fine with the outcome. Although it was really sweet how DJ saved Ezekiel from the volcano, Nice touch :) Part 2: Highlights: a) Courtney on Team Chris Is Really *4 Hot: It was really fun watching Courtney and Team Chris is Really *4 Hot compete against Team Amazon. b) Owen’s elimination: Noah and Owen’s goodbye was quite heart warming and watching Chris giving them time to hug it out was quite wholesome. c) The brainiac duo in Courtney and Noah. d) The dumb honorable jock and the insensitive intelligent schemer duo in Tyler and Noah. Honorable mentions: Courtney, Noah, Tyler, Sierra and Cody. Lowlights: a) Heather’s pre merge elimination (I am biased towards Heather because she’s my favorite character in Total Drama and this stings as her character arc in World Tour was spectacular and now she has a smaller role compared to the original timeline). b) Noah’s pre merge elimination (although it is an improvement from canon). Part 3: Highlights: a) Cody and Sierra’s healthier friendship and reconciliation (and generally Sierra’s redemption arc). b) Tyler and Alejandro’s rivalry (Tyler Vs Alejandro finale): I love that so many characters are against Alejandro in this what if, for example: Courtney, Tyler, Cody and etc. It makes Alejandro have a harder time reaching the finale instead of cruising by like he did canonically. Having Owen call Alejandro Al while knowing it will piss of Alejandro is just fantastic. Lowlights: a) Courtney’s elimination: I would’ve loved to see an arc where Courtney goes from the broken up mess to the self assured woman ready to take down the man (Alejandro) who used her to his advantage. (Courtney Vs Alejandro final two) b) Blainely’s elimination: Although you’ve said in your “What If: Courtney and Blainely competed in a tie breaker” that you aren’t going to write a Blainely winner ending, but I would be happy to see how you might approach it. c) Sierra’s elimination: Just as the final 3 were about to eliminate Alejandro (the slippery eel) from the competition, resulting in his 4th placement. Here comes Sierra to ruin it all. I know you’re trying to be authentic to how it’ll actually play out in the show, but it’s really frustrating as a viewer and it feels plot contrived and forced. Missed out final 2 and 3s: a) Alejandro Vs Tyler Vs Courtney → Alejandro Vs Courtney b) Alejandro Vs Tyler Vs Courtney → Alejandro Vs Tyler Honestly I am not a fan of Tyler Vs Courtney, but that’s just my preference c) Cody Vs Blainely Vs Sierra → Cody Vs Blainely d) Cody Vs Blainely Vs Sierra → Cody Vs Sierra e) Cody Vs Blainely Vs Sierra → Sierra Vs Blainely Overall thoughts on this What If: I apologize for saying this ,but this isn’t my favorite What If from you. I feel bad because I know it must of been quite the challenge to rewatch the episodes, research, write, edit, record, and much more. Not to mention the fact, the amount of time it must’ve taken to publish this video must of been insane. I want to be objective on my opinion about this What If and I’m certain that most of your fans will adore this What If. It just wasn’t my cup of tea. Thank you for your well thorough efforts and high quality content. Always remember to be easy on yourself and you shouldn’t feel bad for taking breaks away from UA-cam to focus on your personal life and health (both physical and mental). This is me signing out, Bye!
I think you do a really good job writing your alternate versions of WT in general, but I also get what you mean when you say it is really difficult to match the climactic writing of the original with some of the other videos you've made of this season. But IMO, this What If is the first World Tour video which, no joke, is considerably better than the original. The first half had a lot of shenanigans but those were necessary to set up parts 2 & 3, plus the pre-merge in the original WT wasn't really that great to me anyway. As for your Parts 2 & 3 I was on the edge of my seat the entire time, I think you completely matched the drama of the original while also improving upon/ironing out a lot of the more annoying stuff that was in the original (Cody & Sierra, the love triangle, Ezekiel having a more interesting role in the finale instead of just being a gimmicky afterthought, etc.) You're an amazing writer, and you were a HUGE inspiration for how I made a bunch of the videos on my channel. Can't wait to see what you do next!
Spoilers I love how the finale has Alejandro, the mastermind of the season, one of the most athletic contestants and charming, having brains, brawn AND beauty against Tyler the guy with the strong fingers
Not to come off as rude comment, but I am really really glad that this what if is over- can’t wait to see some new stuff- anyways I have a what if idea What if Chris actually did the right thing in the London challenge I mean by what if he gave the win to team chris {WHO ACTUALLY DID WHAT HE WANTED THEM TO} This would change two things One Noah stays a bit longer And two Duncan would’ve been put on team amazon Yeah that’s basically it- Love your videos btw!! Edit: time to pay back that favour-
This was a nice what if sure it might of took 1/3 of a year to come out, but I would say it was mostly worth it. By the way, in the update video, you said that the Trent what if won’t be the next video because you want to practice your new writing style is that still the case?
I know you’re trying to do shorter what ifs, so maybe a: what if Anne Maria quite before brick was voted out. In this universe Anne Maria is the only one launched from the catapult, and Chris doesn’t see the point in eliminating brick. It would be fun to see what would happen now that brick is there.
I love the character development for Cody and Tyler, who never got that in the show and cody feels more self-actualized than in the actual TDWT season. tyler just rocked, it was awesome to see him go so far in the rewrite.

YESSSSSSS its so worth it i dont care how long it takes i love these videos :) hope everythings going well dude
Loved the way you handled characters like Cody, Tyler, Sierra and Courtney. You really did them justice. Amazing as always!
Good video as always!
I would love to see a what if total drama action had the full cast of season 1.
And I got Rickrolled. Screw you.
I think a nice "shorter" what if would be "What if Owen's family never blew the money on a Cheese Cellar"
Gives us an interesting final part of action with no-one coming back. Only covers 6 episodes.
I would also like to say that I have loved all your recent stuff, your understanding of the characters and also adherence to their logic, and the shows logic is really great. Top stuff :D
So basically what if writers decided to focus on Duncan and Harold relationships rather than that poor mole plot?
I think you gave Cody some backbone too in the re-write of Island where Sierra and Alejandro compete too.
I starting to think that TD Wonderer really likes Tyler. Especially because of his strong fingers.
Worth the wait! Hope you doing better in your day to day life! Now i think i have an interesting What if suggestion: What if the mosquito didnt bite Sam in All Stars episode 2? This one has big potential cause it brings 3 big changes:

I love this what if it's been so satisfying all 3 parts seriously loveee your channel
New idea and this is a fun one what if the original cast returned for revenge of the island u will have to make it a smaller cast but I recon it would be fun
Why would this be fun?
@ imagine the original characters reacting to the mutants and the challenges

Always exciting seeing one of your smashing videos! ❤

33:19 Justin and Cody were both part of the Drama Brothers band
Let’s try a thirteen episode season for your sake.
What If Ripper didn’t quit after Axel got voted off in Rematch

Ah shit here we go again
Spoilers
I love how the finale has Alejandro, the mastermind of the season, one of the most athletic contestants and charming, having brains, brawn AND beauty against Tyler the guy with the strong fingers
suggestion what if the robot was never pushed into the water
Welp, time to drop everything and watch this.
For the volunteer justin would choose cody they are in the drama brothers together
Not to come off as rude comment, but I am really really glad that this what if is over- can’t wait to see some new stuff- anyways I have a what if idea
What if Chris actually did the right thing in the London challenge
I mean by what if he gave the win to team chris {WHO ACTUALLY DID WHAT HE WANTED THEM TO}
This would change two things
One Noah stays a bit longer
And two Duncan would’ve been put on team amazon
Yeah that’s basically it-
Love your videos btw!!
Edit: time to pay back that favour-
Nice one dude !
What if Taylor and Kelly went to buy in Dubai AFTER making the chill zone?
your should do what if mike didn’t have d.i.d.! take your time!
Man is my favorite td character fr
@ help i just fixed it
Lol
This was a nice what if sure it might of took 1/3 of a year to come out, but I would say it was mostly worth it. By the way, in the update video, you said that the Trent what if won’t be the next video because you want to practice your new writing style is that still the case?
I know you’re trying to do shorter what ifs, so maybe a: what if Anne Maria quite before brick was voted out. In this universe Anne Maria is the only one launched from the catapult, and Chris doesn’t see the point in eliminating brick. It would be fun to see what would happen now that brick is there.
Can you do a what if of Alejandro being a alternative winner in All Stars
Mr coconut is going to win this time!
38:17 JSJSJSJSJSSJS ALETYLERRR 💋💋💋💋
Cody I’m rooting for you
