MPGIS Dream

I was in Overland Park High with all the characters, but they looked how they would as if they were real people. I was friends with Rachel and Judith and it was the beginning of the new school year (So s6). We were in the cafeteria and Rachel sees Tanner and gets mad because it has been 9 years since the event. She won’t explain what it was, as she vowed to never speak of it again, except once to Judith as Judith knows. Tanner seems oblivious to what is going on. Rach also dislikes Matthew for his role in the event, but doesn’t explain what he did exactly. It’s first hinted that he and Tanner were almost equal at fault, as in equally planned but then Tanner executed the event, but as time went on it switched to Tanner being almost responsbile and Matthew’s fault was not-stopping him, if he should’ve even been blamed. Rachel does eventually give the flashback to the event, but I can’t see her flashback because it’s real life.

I never understood why Sims 4 has so few expansions out. Not talking about the game packs, or stuff packs, but pure expansions. I’ve heard some fans say that the game was being built completely from scratch, unlike TS3 and it’s why packs take so long. However, TS1 was the first game in the series, so it obviously had nothing to copy. It made it’s first expansion 6 months later and every year later would release 2 packs a year. TS2 also released 2 packs a year as well. Since it went from the 2D to 3D, I don’t know how much they took from teh previous game other than idea. Plus TS2 had it’s own ideas, like University and OFB. TS3 had one pack 5 months after launch, the every year after had 2 or 3 expansions. If it did use the same engine, then there were some packs that were still original like Island Paradise and Into the Future. Sims 4 has only had 5 expansions in 4 years (Okay technically 3, as September will be the anniversary). But it is so behind the schedule. Only the 1st two expansions were done in the same year. It is just lowered expectations for no reason at all. If Sims 1 can do it, then so can Sims 4.

How Face Off the final season should have gone:

Have all the previous winners come back, as well as Emily and Tate (2 Runner-Ups should qualify you). We will just assume that there was just the 12 winners so I don’t have to add in more, but that means a total of 14 contestants. The judges would be Glenn, Ve, Neville, and Patrick. Or if they’re not allowed to bring in a guest judge if they have 4 mains, then Patrick can be recurring so we can bring in Lois, Erin, and other big mains back. But Patrick defo gets the finale to bring it back full circle.

There can be “extras” from the previous seasons, meaning one judges save and an eliminated contestant returns. These would bring the season back without wasting too much time (Team shop format from s12 would take a long time unless just for a challenge. One save just adds 1 ep).

The challenges themselves should go back to be being based on memorable ones from the series. At least one body painting challenge (I miss those), some foundation challenges (2 hrs), the first challenge ever, the Tim Burton one, Beauty Makeups, Working in a shop from season 12 (Needs a lot of contestants and an even number), etc.

Elim order/Schedule:

wk 1-14 Contestants

wk 2-13 Contestants

wk 3-12 Contestants

wk 4-11 Contestants

wk 5- 10 Contestants

wk 6-9 Contestants

wk 7-Eliminated contestants compete to return

wk 8-9 Contestants

wk 9-8 Contestants

wk 10-7 Contestants

wk 11-Save (Can be used any week. Doesn’t make sense before Wk 7- as they will return).

wk 12-7 Contestants

wk 13-5 Contestants (Double because of save)

wk 14-Finale

wk 15- Finale pt 2

Zoey 101 always made me mad for the fact that Zoey leaves PCA in the one episode (season finale?) and then comes back because she felt like it. Like okay, I’m not mad that they introduced the idea of her leaving. It made sense in the show with her parents going to London that they’d offer her to leave and give her a school. Although that school in England was one of the top 5 in the world, and she just randomly decides PCA is better and moves back. Like I have no idea how hard it is to get into PCA, but she just does. Like okay, if it was one school in town to another, that makes more sense. It’d be easier to just switch schools. But no, Zoey goes to boarding school so she literally moves all of her stuff across the world and acts like it is no big deal. Plus this whole thing got rid of Chase and he was a much better character than Zoey.

Okay, so I know people complain about Leshawna’s elimination season one. I will agree that it was kind of cheap, but if you look at Courtney’s elimination, you shouldn’t be surprised.

So when Leshawna gets eliminated, we get a parrot who votes (twice at that). Most of the contestants don’t really vote for her. Katie and Sadie technically did, but out of pure stupidity. They said they wanted her here, at Playa Des Losers, so out of the game. Other characters like Trent, Izzy, and Lindsay just simply said Leshawna’s name for it to count. They weren’t like “Oh I want Leshawna to join me here, or get her out of the game!”. In this situation, Chris just did a pure vote count. 17 eliminated campers, so 9 votes for a majority. Since her name was said 9 times during vote casting, she was eliminated.

Now let’s look back to Courtney’s elimination. You might say that Chris had nothing to do with that, it was Harold, which you are correct. If you look at the next episode though, Xtreme Torture, Chris does a recap of the previous episode. He explains that Courtney got eliminated from Harold’s tampering with the votes. Now he could’ve been like “We have the footage and we are going to right this wrong.” Or maybe bring her back when Eva and Izzy return to be fair. Chris doesn’t though. Once again, Chris just looked for the number of votes. 6 Bass left on the team, 6 votes needed, bye bye Courtney.

TDWT Song List Rankings

Songs Ranked on visuals, vocals, speed, and overall feel

(Time isn’t a factor but may be discussed if the length makes it better or worse. It mostly doesn’t affect the overall ranking, but adds into that feel category).

1- I’m Gonna Make It- I dig the music itself. I think that this is Heather’s best song vocally, just sounds great. She sings in quite a lot, so hearing her best is going to boost a song. Sierra also does really good in this song as well for her. It’s also got the couples without having them fight (Like relationship issues fight, they’re competing). We do get a Cody solo, and I enjoy singing, because his voice is nice. I also really like that they’re competing while singing. It’s just a great song.

2- Changing Guard Mix/Strip Them Down- So I absolutely adore this song. The plot is funny, like stripping dudes is kids show song. I didn’t know it was aloud. This one is only ranked second because I feel like the singers are better in the one above it.

3- Baby- Okay so I’m a huge fan of Harold’s beatboxing as you will find out. That’s all this song is, so I like it. I also love hearing some of the things Harold says about Leshawna. Plus we get a second glimpse of the Drama Brothers (Minus Cody) but I love them. I just find them funny.

4- Condor- Amazing vocals, plus a Cody solo. I don’t think we ever got one other wise. Paris in the Springtime he just speaks, he doesn’t sing. Also the lyrics are pretty good too.

5- Boyfriend Kisser- I like this song. Music is good, singers sound find. I really like the blueprint thing. I just like all the ones above it more so it’s 5th. I actually had it as 3rd for a while.

6- Eine Kleine- I like the lyrics. I can’t comment on the music since that’s an actual song. However, when I hear that song, I do sing these lyrics. Plus Lindsay remembers Tyler and I dig that relationship. Okay that didn’t boost the rating, that’s just a good shout-out.

7- Versus- I dig the red and blue theme. It’s always been a top for that. It’s a great final song for the season. One thing that bothered me was that Cody and Lindsay are supposed to help, but are silent. The song has them do the mannequin making, so it easily could’ve been just Harold and Courtney since they sing. They’re not in season, so no reason for dead weight in a song anymore. But honestly probably my favorite Al song vocally. Heather’s done better vocally like range and talent, but I like to listen to this one. The style is amazing.

8- Wake Up- Okay Al’s face when he’s laying on the ground always brings me life. Also I will never tire of the tranq balls joke. It’s too good. Duncan’s voice rise is also what brings me life in the song. I mean this song has it’s strenghts, just not enough to top the ones on top of it.

9- Sea Shanty Mix- This one used to be my number one for a while. So I can’t give anything for it to improve, I’ve just simply grown to like the other ones more. One issue I have is that Noah doesn’t sing. Not because I’m a Noah fan, because DJ’s part of the song is about him not singing so he can get eliminated, which Noah doesn’t. I’ve also never understood Izzy’s line fully, which the comment section can’t seem to either. I’ve seen a few versions. I like the shanty style, but those errors and my love for other songs put this one down below.

10- Her Real Name Isn’t Blaineley- Talk about the song I’ve listened to the most. I I loved Geoff in a hat and underwear running around singing. America didn’t get the episode aired, you had to watch it online. I didn’t know that. So all I had seen from the episode was just this shot. The lack of context (and even now with context) just always makes me crack up at this. It’s not the best vocally or anything, but man do I love this song.

11- This Is How We Will End It- Like the song under it (Spoiler: Gwen’s Face), the visuals are part of the reason. I remember thinking of Al just carrying that puppet around. We get quite a bit of Al singing, which is nice. I like the other girl’s puppets as well. Heather once again is great at vocals. These two are pretty good singers, no one is there to ruin it.

12- We Built Gwen’s Face- So this song I don’t think is the best with the lyrics. I think we all know that the visuals, the outfits, are why it’s up here. I don’t think I’ve ever laughed that hard in my life from when I first saw that. Also Al and Duncan coming in with their arms doing whatever to join Owen in the dance still has me falling over. I mean it’s not a bad song vocally, it’s just up here this high because of visuals.

13- Greek Mix- I kind of like this song. It’s not bad, but I don’t feel anything super strong for it at the same time, so it’s here.

14- Blainerific- Fun song to sing along to. My issue is Blaineley’s voice, especially since she’s the main singer. It either sounds like she’s saying the words or needs a little voice fixing here and there. I mean it’s not horrible, it just catches me off sometimes. This song also gets props for having Chris sing in it though.

15- Shear the Sheep- I used to love this song, like top 5 love. I mean Team Amazon has good vocals, can’t deny. I don’t know if I feel out of love, or started to love others more. It’s still fine. I just don’t know where to improve it for me, because you can see I did have no faults with it before.

16- I’m Winning This- We know I love Harold’s singing, Courtney is a great singer, and Owen does good too. I feel like Courtney has a lot of lines and they gave her a chance to shine vocally. Like her other ones, she had Heather, who was also good. I just feel like this a good vocal song. Lyrics aren’t bad, but aren’t great either.

17- Oh My Izzy- It’s a sad song, and I do enjoy listening to it when I want a sad song. It’s a slow song though. I’m not really a slow song kind of person.

18- A Chinese Lesson- This song has one aspect I like over all the others. It really works with the challenge. Like the last line is who gets eliminated that round. Also this song gets Chris points. This song fails for me in the fact that it isn’t really one song. Because they would sing then eat then sing then eat (Etc.) it was really spaced out. It was more like six mini baby songs that are the length of one together. The lack of cohesion is what lowers this song.

19- Save This Show- Okay so when Geoff and Bridgette harmonize they kinda sound weak. For that I could put them down to 22 (19-22 are all about equal for me honestly. Small details determine rank). This one ranks higher only because of the floating Geoff head. It always cracks me up. Like the idea of Geoff’s head floating and his lyrics are funny.

20- Before We Die- Okay not a huge fan of this song. I just like the wishes of people as they’re falling. Plus we get some Noah (I like Noah). I feel like the idea of singing and falling is the most Total Drama song out there.

21- Paris in the Springtime- So honestly, I think this ranking is high for this song. You may think 21 sounds low, but I don’t really like this song. I just don’t like the ones under it as much. I find Sierra’s rant about her struggles great. I also like that she got rejected from the show, because I hadn’t thought about that. Like imagine if someone else had been selected. But I just have never felt this song otherwise. Maybe it is because of the rant that she and Cody don’t sing for all of it.

22- I’m Sorry- Okay so Geoff’s face the first time he’s seen is one of my favorite moments overall in the series, the awkwardness. I just feel like this song is Geoff arguing with Bridgette as she tries to get forgiveness and I don’t want a song all about this relationship drama. I don’t hate it, not a fan of the lyrics. Though Bridgette sounds nice in this.

23- Stuck to a Pole- So this song is a bit hard to understand without the lyrics. I basically can only listen to this song without watching because of seeing the lyrics so much. I do appreciate them giving the lyrics on screen. I understand that if her tongue was stuck it wouldn’t be the most audible, but it just never made me like the song too much. I did like the more rock background music and Gwen/Heather/Courtney back-up singers.

24- Come Fly With Us- I do appreciate that this song has everyone singing and gives them their own little section. That’s about as much as I like from this though. I just basically like other ones more than this one.

25- Gypsy Rap- I was okay with the beginning. I just didn’t like Gwen rapping. I just never felt it. Also this was the shortest song (If we take all the small ones from A Chinese Lesson and count them as one). It had the least amount of time to impress me.

26- Sisters- So Sisters isn’t the best vocally but it definitely isn’t the worst, still low. It is this low because I factor in visuals. I honestly can’t stand the dancing that is done by Leshawna, Harold, and Bridgette. It’s just awkward, clunky, and frankly ugly. If I was just doing lyrics, this could bump up a few more places.

27- Rowin’ Time- The song is slow. I want it to move me, and this one fails to do that in any way. Some of the lyrics aren’t the worst, it’s just that I really don’t

28- Lovin’ Time- Like Rowin’ Time, I’m not a fan of the pace of the song. I just feel these lyrics even less than Rowin’ Time’s.

29- Who You Gonna Root For?- Geoff and Bridgette’s voices sound off in this song, at least when compared to the others. It’s like it wasn’t autotuned or something. I mean Harold and Courtney were fine, but Geoff and Bridgette’s voice threw me off. I also was not a fan of the slow Hawaiian theme, not my song choice.

30- What’s Not To Love- Like the last one, I felt like the voices were off when Lindsay sang, maybe some of the others. I can’t give names because it’s not consistent. Like sometimes I think they sound off and other times I don’t. Lindsay always sounds off to me. Also I’m not a fan of the long break for the dance part. If I listen to the songs while in another tab, it’s kinda empty.

****Actually, we all know the real number one is Sierra’s German Song. The 20 second one she sings about Cody. I only did this list based on the actual song list, so it didn’t appear.****

Total Drama First Generation Cast Ranking

My Choice- I’m just using seasons 1-3. I haven’t re-watched 5 since it aired, but I don’t think it affected these standings. Ridonculous Race didn’t affect these either

1- Duncan- Duncan has been my love since episode one. So he was definitely getting a top three spot. We got so much characterization from him though, making the merge every season. Of course characterization is how I like you or not. Plus I just loved his bad boy but secretly good side, it was a fun line to see throughout the seasons.

2- Noah- I love his sarcasm. He’s been my favorite for about five years or so, whenever I started becoming really sarcastic.

3- Lindsay- Honestly, I’ve been re-watching and really love Lindsay. I wanted to bump her up higher, but I love the other two as well but for longer. Though just saying that Lindsay could honestly have made a contest for number 1 (Sorry Noah you were either 2 or 3), if I hadn’t loved Duncan since episode 1. Her TDI elimination deserves it’s own spot.

4- Heather- If you asked me to make this in 2008, now way would Heather have been anywhere but the bottom. Season 3 though with the introduction of Al made it so you wanted Heather to win, at least for me to win. As I rewatch the first season, I do have to respect her playing the game for all the times except for Lindsay’s elimination, because as Duncan said “that’s cold”. I do like her manipulation tactics in the game.

5- Gwen- Gwen I always felt was the sane character of TDI when she was first introduced. Which to childhood me, was not what i thought of for goths. I thought of them as scary (like everyone’s reaction to Ennui and Crimson’s outfits in the air guitar challenge from RR). She just seemed like an honest, relateable character.

6- Al- Al is like Justin 2.0. I felt like Justin disappointed me as a villain (more in his section), but Al improved. Al was able to take his looks and his words to turn himself into a threat. He also knew how to play the game as well as Heather, if not better. He made me start to cheer for Heather, something I used to think impossible. At the same time, I was cheering for him. What can I say, he did his job good.

7- Owen- I loved Owen as the comedic relief. Though sometimes I thought the fart jokes were over used, he provided some other great examples, like Mr. Coconut (The real number one of this list. I forgot to add him and renumbering is too much work). Like Gwen, he seemed like a relateable guy that you might hang out with in real life. I mean I love Duncan, but he’s not the kind you’d hang out with. Owen you would. I also loved to see him in all of the alliances or friendships he had.

8- Cody- I loved Cody season three. He turned into someone I came to love that I was rather indifferent towards earlier. After Duncan got eliminated, I wanted him to be the winner. He’s just a fun, awkward, dork, and who doesn’t love someone like that?

9- Izzy- Can’t deny that Izzy was whack. That’s what made it fun to watch her. She started off as slightly crazy, and even season one had her as on hte RCMP list. I also really love how she was able to cheat the system to come back in season two by competing as E-Scope, not Izzy. My only problem was that you knew she was always going to be eliminated and come back, after the first season. She was never a competitor that I felt you honestly would think would win. She was fun to watch, but because of that fact, it limits her.

10- Leshawna- I loved Leshawna and Heather’s fights, mostly in season one. I felt like that was where they were the strongest. Throwing her off the cliff was great.

11- Geoff- Geoff was a bro, and not like the douchy frat-boy bro. He was the relateable one that you could probably be friends with. I don’t like him as much as the ones above, but he’s nice and relatable, so he’s got to be higher up.

12- Harold- Harold was someone I grew to like over re-runs. I used to like Courtney, so he was disliked for quite a while for eliminating her. I actually like that now, not because of my stance on Courtney. I liked that because it made Harold seem like he could have actually been a threat to others in the competition with doing that. Sadly he gets eliminated the next episode and doesn’t get a chance to act similar to this again. I would’ve loved to see a new direction of him to be an evil dork, but it wasn’t done.

13- Courtney- I know some people will hate this, but Courtney is my middle. She’s not here because I’m indifferent towards her. She’s here because sometimes I like her, like most of TDI, and other times she would get on my last nerve. I’d think about it for the week after the episode. She’s a character that I want to like when I see season one, but in the other seasons I start to lose that interest. So 13 was halfway since she’s either liked or my bottom.

14- DJ- DJ is a fine character. I liked seeing him in the guys’ alliance. Though I did get confused why he’d help or be okay with pulling pranks on Harold then later turned into the ultimate sweetheart. Like it almost seemed out of character, but it’s how it started. It could’ve worked if he saw Momma and she told him she was disappointed with him, thus why he turned more soft. But it sometimes seemed like that edge of him was gone. I mean you can pull a prank but be an over all nice person, but the 2&3 seasons didn’t want that to be for DJ.

15- Sierra- Sierra was an alright character. I mean I understand her obsession with tv characters, but sometimes it got annoying. Since she only appeared in episodes with Cody, we didn’t get much to see her without that. Yeah she’s a X generation basket weaver, but that’s not personality. I know 5 dealt with that more, but I’m not including that here. She’s also middle because she only got one season of the original three to develop her. If she had more, she might have moved positions.

16- Tyler- I loved him with Lindsay, or the time before when he tried to flirt with her. Dumb jock who was a comedic relief when he got the pain. I just felt like he got sent home so early in season 1, and didn’t compete in 2 that it limited his character. He got to grow in 4, but he didn’t get enough.

17-  Bridgette- Bridgette I used to really like when I first watched the series, mostly in the time of season one. I lost that attraction as time went on and never gained it back. I don’t hate Bridgette, I’m just not necessarily a fan of hers. She’s nice, but eh, I don’t feel her.

18- Trent- I used to love Trent, especially season one. Well until that Heather kiss. Yes Heather kisses him, but he melds in, no rejection. Had he pushed her away I would’ve liked him longer. I loved that ship as a child. Also season two I didn’t like the whole number nine thing. I think it would’ve been cool if it was executed better. You first see Trent’s obsession and he’s eliminated the next episode later. I felt like it was thrown in last second as a reason to get rid of him. Good idea, execution not so much. Also the fact that he wasn’t cool with Gwen and Duncan being friends. Like yeah I know that was a jump from last season, but that was only two days after the last special. Clearly you would’ve all been at playa des losers, and seen it grow. (You the longest since you were the first eliminated out of the three). Like there wasn’t really much space for them to hide and start anything without you or the cameras. Plus in a house of 22 teens, no one would’ve seen anything (Looking to Tyler at season 3). Had Trent stayed calm like season 1, I would’ve liked him more. 

19- Zeke- Zeke I don’t necessarily like. As himself he’s pretty neutral. Yeah I didn’t appreciate the sexist comment, but you do see him realize his mistake by the episode between seasons 1 and 2. He can agree to not be sexist to be part of a team. So he does get growth. Obviously he’s always eliminated first episode so not much characterization is given to him so he can’t be high. I just liked the transformation he got as a fun thing to watch. It brought in fun to the series. 

20- Beth- I don’t really have anything for or against Beth. She’s not my favorite but is in no way a bad character. She’s here because everyone else I like more (well except when I don’t for Courtney), and basically everyone below I dislike. Just need some neutral ground here. She’s the bottom here for the ones I’m fine with but don’t hate because I’ve just never got into liking her. Not like dislike form of not liking, I just don’t necessarily care for her one way or another.

21- Eva- Eva actually seems like she could have been a fun character to watch. Never someone I’d probably like, but her anger was fun to watch. Only problem was she basically never appeared in the series, and all she was only ever angry. Katie and Sadie could be dumb but have a fight, but Eva didn’t get the chance. She had potential and didn’t annoy me so she’s up here.

22- Katie- Katie and Sadie are two characters that pretty much equally annoy me. They were tolerable for like the two seconds they were introduced or whatever but not really otherwise. Katie is ranked higher only because from one of the later episodes when she calls Sadie too fat for the bus, it made me laugh. Just gave me one line to like her more so she’s just so slightly higher.

23- Justin- I just never felt anything with Justin except annoyance. I mean season one he doesn’t speak and is a theme song and was tolerable for not lasting long, but season 2 I just remember being annoyed by him. He was someone I was open to liking, but it came off to annoy me. Only because of Katie’s one line making me laugh, thus a moment of not annoyance is why she’s higher.

24- Sadie- Sadie along with Katie, are just frankly annoying and irritating. Sadie had more screen time and failed to impress me in any way, shape, or form.

25- Blaineley- Blaineley’s here because she wasn’t on the show that long. She’s appeared in ten episodes on the series and only spoken in six. Only two of these was she a contestant. I live in America, where we never saw the aftermaths (You had to know they were online and I didn’t. Never saw in reference to being on tv.) So her speaking lines for me were shorter. I just felt like with Celebrity Manhunt she was boring, and I only got two more speaking episodes from her. She didn’t wow me with her words enough to be higher because she didn’t have much of a character, though more than Justin in TDI.
