good thinking. you make alejandro sound more interesting than justin. breaking news: i went to toonzone. and they say christian potenza confirmed there are plans for a 4th season!

the guy isnt allowed to spill what the 4th season is about however. i imagine sierra and alejandro may move onto that season, plus more new characters.

Sian, once again I agree 100% with you. Personally, I'd rather not have him be an "Arch Villan", since he is a new guy, but I guess to separate him from Justin (a minor antagonist at best), he has to go big or do nothing.

^ Frankly, the only thing I'm worried about in this is that you're going to accidentally make a typo, and we're all going to be wondering, "Woah, does Katie really like Cody? I thought that was just fanfiction.net!"

How many seasons can these people keep doing? From a writer's standpoint, I know IT IS HARD trying to come up with fresh, exciting plot for the same old characters over and over and over in a reality show setting. There can only really be a limited number of couples, and therefore a limited number of things they can do with the show in the romance department. If they're only going to add two or three new characters in each season, they're still going to need to find a ton of ways to play with the 'old' characters before there are finally enough people in the show to finally crowd out all the overplayed, overrated season stars that are absolutely wrung out of all drama-inducing possibilities. That's going to take quite a few new seasons.

There are plenty of characters that haven't gotten as much screen time as the others. Noah, Ezekiel, and Tyler have, imo, AT LEAST 2 seasons (probably more) left in them before they get old. This season could develop their characters and another season to continue with what's been developed. Other characters that have been around a lot I still find interesting (like Heather and Lindsay) and I don't mind having them around a while longer.

as for romance, i think they can be realistic and have all kinds of love triangles and hexagons or whatever (which they kinda been doing). they don't have to keep it at the same 6 couples (though maybe the 6 original couples will be the end result) the entire time. Besides, with 24 teens interacting with eachother, I really doubt only 6 couples will form out of that. I think a limited amount of couples is less likely (I'm not saying everyone's going to hook up and pair off evenly, that's just silly)

it's just like any other show, really. It is possible to come with 8 or 9 or 10 seasons for a show and have it still be entertaining (though rare, i guess). And to be honest, imo, because there is eliminations and a good portion of the characters are only there for a short amount of time (or don't even end up in the season) then there is a better chance of it not getting old because there are opportunities to rotate them and how often they're used.

I personally still think there's a lot that can be done with most of the characters. (for example, Heather if they go the redemptive route. Or explore her geeky past and why she's so mean) and I don't really want a bunch of new characters eventually taking over. (I don't mind them adding new characters, I'm just fond of the "old" one's)

The only reason some characters are getting old to me is because I wasn't that into them in the first place.

as for Lindsay not winning, I hope you're wrong tigerty.

Why does everyone want or think that Linsay will win? I can understand how someone could see her winning if she was in the final three or something, but out of seventeen different contestants? It's not like she's an uber-favorite, like Noah, Gwen, or Cody. Plus, she's had a good amount of plot and development though both seasons. The only reason I can see her getting to the merge is that half of her assumed teammates look like they're going to be voted off early in the season.

Izzy winning, understandable, just like how Owen won last season. Plus, she's the only girl on her team, and like someone said previously, that pretty much makes her immune until either more girls get put with her or she gets to the merge.

Cody, similar.

I suspect that if there is a fourth season it will be the last, just going on what happened with 6teen. Of course Total Drama has had a much more compact production cycle than 6teen. But I don't get the impression Fresh are into driving their series into the ground by overstaying their welcome.

One thing it will be interesting to see is whether the "around the world in 80 musical numbers" type format will reveal some of the ethnic backgroud of the characters. For example Heather's fear of sumo wrestlers implies she might be of Japanese descent, and since there's an episode set in Japan we could get confirmation of this.

I don't think Cody will win, it's clear from the trailer that he's a big protagonist this season.

izzy winning is bound to happen.

Fools! Watch Tyler come out of the woodwork and win the whole thing!!

Okay, what makes you guys be so sure Izzy and Tyler will win? I mean, it's possible and I can see why Izzy might be have a good possibility but let's at least have the season START before making such grand assumptions.

And how does Cody being a big protagonist make it less likely for him to win?
