if its true jennifer pertsch is taking over for the third season then of course izzy will make it very far. i think her favorite is izzy. besides izzys the funny protagonist that will probably slip by elimination and win.

I thought that Izzy had a great shot at winning TDA, so I agree that this could be her season. I don't expect her to go all the way though, Jennifer Pertsch wouldn't want to sound biased. And I agree that Ezekiel won't leave early, I think that they are purposely trying to throw us off. And I would really like to see Noah have a girlfriend to put all of the gay rumors aside. Speaking of Noah, I can't wait to see what plots that they give him.

It took them all six episodes of TDI he was in to establish the gay stereotype, there's no going back now. =P Maybe some subtext teasing with Alejandro? *dodges items being thrown*

I think the Ezzy scene in the trailer was for the fans, since it was a pretty active pairing even a couple years ago, but it'd be interesting to see how they'd do it that we have so many fan ideas to compare it to (poor Owen).

who came up with ezzy? why do people like them as a couple? they never interacted.

^ Blame fanfiction.net for the Ezzy pairing. Don't know who came up with it, but a lot of the crack-pairing writers are trying to throw Ezekiel into a bunch of their stories so the show writers will think he's popular and put him in the show more often.

Eh, I personally can't believe Noah is gay as he was completely immune to Justin's 'powers'. Hmm, maybe Noah will be the one to discover Alejandro's evil nature. They're on the same team, and since Noah was already wary of Justin, the suspicion might easily transfer over to the new guy.

Plus, Noah looks like the kind of guy who is able to plan blindsides, whip up drama, and take names in a strategy show like this, if he could only find the motivation to actually put some effort into the game. Attempting to take Alejandro down could easily fill this requirement.

...except they actually DO like Ezekiel. They invent a better personality for him that we have no idea how canon it is, but he gets quite a bit of love.

You're probably right, but I'm scared of what they'd do if Noah ended up being a schemer; he might just be a too-powerful Chessmaster or have a huge fall at the end. I think instead that he's smart enough to realize that the protagonist places fifth, fourth, or second, and if you really try to play the game the best you get is third.

I wasn't necessarily just talking about Noah being a chessmaster, even though that role could cause a great deal of drama and development for him. I was sort of talking about how Noah might be the only one aware and suspicious enough to discover Alejandro's schemes and organize a blindside to eliminate him. Or, since Alejandro would be the villain in this situation and is therefore invincibly, Noah can provide enough of a challenge to the new guy so that a conflict ignites, escalates, and finally explodes.

I think we'll have to wait and see, since the trailer tells us almost nothing about your idea - and less about mine.

Tiger, I can't see Cody winning, he seems like one of the biggest protagonists this season. Bridgette maybe, she's the one that I think has a pretty good chance.

I want to see Noah as a genius strategist, but not as a villain if that makes sense. I totally second a Noah-Alejandro conflict. It would be awesome to see Noah be the one to take him down.

^ Eh, personally a bit of an H-bomb-shipper myself. It's kind of ironic, actually, how we're pairing her with nerds, the opposite end of the popularity spectrum.

So...where's Tyler going to end up? He's on the same team as Alejandro and Noah, but we barely know anything of his true personality. How do you think the writers are going to develop on him, is his girlfriend isn't on the same team as him? Oh, wait, I might have just answered my own question a little bit.

Well, Lindsay wasn't on the same team as him in TDI and Tyler still didn't have much personality development. But hopefully this won't be the case this time. I found him amusing, but there wasn't too much to him other than dating Lindsay, sucking at sports, and being scared of chickens. I just hope that he wasn't simply drawn to have someone to eliminate.

I'm not really into H/H. I can see why people ship it but I might have to actually see TDDDDDDDDDI to ever actually get into it. I think it's kinda funny to put her with nerds, but I think Harold's just a little too nerdy for me to put them together, lol. Or maybe just gross (nose-picker). Like, I find Owen and Heather amusing together but I just can't ship them cuz Owen's just too gross (and annoying.)

I actually kinda like putting her with Cody too, who is also a nerd, lol. (And maybe DJ, who isn't a nerd). I dunno, I think my shippings are still developing. except for Noah/Heather. I'm pretty much sold on that. One of the reasons is because she always conning and tricking people. I'd like to see her try to trick/outsmart Noah who, being a genius, she would probably never be able to do so to. I'd like to put her with someone who can handle her and not be outsmarted by her. (And whatever poor sucker does end up with her needs this quality)

^ Or, this sucker needs to have enough influence to change her. Hence, Harold, who was the only person to ever open up to her, give her a second chance, and try to be actual friends.

Maybe part of our desire to pair her up with nerds is the hilarious situation where she starts falling for one, knows she's got it bad for him, and continually tries to deny it to herself and the other contestants despite the fact that no one believes her. And, it spites Heather quite a bit, which we've been wanting to do since Search and Do Not Destroy.

Yep. Definitely want to see Heather hook up with someone, or at least get close to, in TDM.

Tyler may not have had a whole lot going on for him in TDI, but in TDDDDI, I thought that he was hilarious and I felt like him and Cody were both robbed a spot in Total Drama Action. They both did enough to get in, I thought. And I think that they could actually do a lot with Tyler. And I think that he could make it a decent way, probably be the second voted off from his team the first being Owen. Just a prediction though, anything could happen.

I still haven't seen TDDDDDDI, but I did find Tyler pretty funny in TDI. I do hope we get to see more personality development from him.

Actually, I wonder what sort of drama might ensue between Tyler and Alejandro. Looks like Lindsay's got a crush on Alejandro. Maybe Tyler will be the one to go against him. This might cause him to go pretty far...or be the reason for an early elimination.

True, good point. I'm still not into Heather/Harold though. Like I said, it could just be a matter of me actually having to see TDDDDDDI first. That and I just have to "feel it". My pairings don't always go by logic (though they can be logical sometimes). It's just a matter of if I like it or not, I'm not always sure why sometimes. A pairing that might seem to work well on paper doesn't mean I'm interested in it. Sometimes I root for pairings that don't look like they'd go well on paper...they're interesting that way. But that's cuz I'm insane.

That being said, I still do think Noah/Heather might be good together. And I can see why people do like Harold/Heather. I'm just not into it for whatever reason.

Agreed and agreed with all of that.
