AND OUR LAST 8!


"The man behind the curtain"

[Jeffrey "Prof"-The Hidden Mastermind]

"Is finally revealed."

Prof is interesting in the fact that his strategy is the same as many others with the two-faced friend act, but his feels somehow...less two-faced? He's not above compromise with people who understand that everyone has their strengths and weaknesses, and only really doesn't want lazy or stubborn people on his team. That in itself is odd however, because Prof came across as quite the stubborn person himself in the interview. He doesn't want a team of people like him, we assume, which might make his time on the show hard for him to manage because assuming nothing goes wrong, Prof is headed straight to Clan Cyfrwys. We can already see him and Jeremy disagree on some fundamental aspects of this game, and one or the other is probably the first off that team if they lose. Prof has his work cut out for him, so tune into Total Drama: Crios Cath to see if he can back up his claims of mental prowess with actions of the same.


"I hope we can get along, because remember,"

[Gazella-The Woodsman Competitor]

"I can chop you down, both figuratively and literally!"

Land Galiris. That's what comes to mind when we think of Gazella and her personality. She's one of the toughest and most endurant contenders this season, and is all set to be an absolute beast in any challenge that comes her way. She's all about effort and teamwork, and isn't about to take any lazy person's shit lying down. She also doesn't plan to just vote with the flow either, preferring to weigh how effective her teammates are in their overall performances rather than only voting for a single screw up in a single challenge. She could pretty naturally fill a leadership role if she wanted to, but since she's probably heading to Alltud, she'll have to contend with quite a few others for that position. Gazella, if she can make it to the merge, can dominate this competition, but her large personality might just cause her clan to eliminate her right away. Still, the Shameterannean holds many opportunities that Gazella is just strong and endurant enough to make use of, so even voting her out may not be enough to see her truly leave.

"Let me tell you one thing you little waste of existence..."

[Mateo-The Director]

"This season of Total Drama is a movie of which I am in charge."

Mateo believes he can see puppet strings above the heads of people and uses them to tug and manipulate their emotions. A less supernaturally inclined player will recognize this for what it truly is, a gift for cold reading and high speed analysis. Mateo is headed straight to Cyfrwys assuming nothing goes horribly wrong, and there his own skills will be put to the test against just about everyone else's. Mateo's true personality, as his quote above implies, is extremely arrogant, viewing the other contestants simply as wastes of existence and if he finds someone smart enough deemed to be worthy of his company, he'll do all that he can to break down their mind until they see the world the way he does. Mateo's going to complicate this game for absolutely everyone, himself included, so it will be interesting to see whether he can truly manipulate others as easily as he claims or if he's just blowing hot air.

"Go ahead Barbie, make my day..."

[Roxanne-The Cute Bruiser]

"...But I can snap you like a twig in 0.2 seconds."

Roxanne is bound for clan Mealltach, and while she certainly doesn't intend on being cold right out of the gate, she's not going to go out of her way to fake being nice to a bunch of strangers she doesn't know. She'll socialize somewhat normally and hope to make friends that way, if she does, she'll warm up quite a bit, but if the opposite happens, and she finds an enemy, things will not be pretty. Roxanne is a relentless prankster and nuisance to those she despises, and if she doesn't like you, she's going to do just about everything she can to either get you eliminated or make your life miserable, probably both. She's got plenty of street smarts to help her in challenges as opposed to any big athletic accomplishments, though she's fairly average in the physical field as well. Her biggest weakness by far, however, is gullibility. She's generally trusting of others and will probably believe whatever she's told if it can make sense to her, and in a game of politics like Total Drama, that's a very dangerous weakness to have. Tune into Total Drama: Crios Cath to see more of Roxanne.


"Get a new set of pants, y'all!"

[Avi-The Loyal Comedian]

"'Cuz Avi fuckin' Trinidad has graced you with his freakin' awesome presence!"

We have no clue where Avi's really going to end up, we just know that it's not Mealltach. He's mainly here to have fun and joke around and make friends, perhaps get rid of the "edgelord" contestants who either like to act like loners and brood by themselves or those people like Prof and Mateo who are just convinced that all others are beneath them and not worth empathizing with. Avi's got some rather realistic expectations going into this game to, his goal being to just make it to the merge, at best. Strangely enough though, this comedian's non-threatening-ness might be quite the strength, allowing him to glide under the radar all the way to victory. It's happened before on this show and it could easily happen again. Tune into Total Drama: Crios Cath to see more of Avi.


"Not all princesses need their Prince Charming or white knight,"

[Kalyssa-The Twisted Princess]

"Some just need the right tools for their own story."

Kalyssa is either Cyfrwys or Mealltach, we aren't quite sure which yet, but she's also an anomaly in and of herself. She's all about conserving and hoarding power and influence, less about any sort of actual competition. Heck, she's a freaking princess, so she clearly doesn't need the money. She simply wants to come onto the show, charm some of the more influential players out there, and use her newfound power to increase the range of her influence. As a royal, she's an adept at both persuading others to do her bidding and sniffing out lies and half-truths in words addressed to her, which makes her a brilliant ally to have...but she's just as dangerous to her friends in this game as she is to her enemies. If she has to get rid of an ally to save herself, or even just the image of herself, she certainly will. Tune into Total Drama: Crios Cath to see more of Kalyssa.


"I'll win this..."

[Stan-The Heir]

"It's what I have to do."

This man is quite something. He's starting this game at a huge disadvantage, being in that he hates going out of his comfort zone and talking to strangers, and with a bit of a short fuse, he isn't quite sure how to do it properly. That said, Stan is very rigid and practical in his thinking, meaning that what you see is generally what you get, and what he says is what he means. If people are able to look past his stoic and stern nature and become friends with him, they will have made, without question, the greatest ally they could have possibly made this season, as he is loyal to those he considers worthy to a fault. The hard part is finding those he considers worthy, and Stan is not a forgiving individual, once his favor is lost, there is no getting it back. That's how much value he places on his own trust. No matter what team he ends up on, Stan is sure to be interesting to watch. Tune into Total Drama: Crios Cath to see more of Stan.


"I'm Setsuna...I'm good with a bow I guess."

[Setsuna-The Absentminded Artist]

"I'll be here for a few episodes I guess…"

Oh thank heavens we're finally done with these contestant opinions after this. Setsuna likes art and archery...and that's about it. She isn't terribly fast or strong or smart or anything really. She's absent-minded and clumsy, and she definitely lacks dignity, usually just doing whatever she's told without really caring about what's going on, often staying in her own little world. The only things we know for sure that she doesn't like are sarcastic people. In terms of clans, we think she's either heading to Ffydd or Alltud, because Cyfrwys is definitely out of the equation for this gullible one, and Mealltach's already got many other possible contestants to be placed on it, each of whom is more deserving of it than Setsuna. We're honestly at a loss for how far Setsuna is going to make it. It could be something as simple as an early vote out, or her quiet and absent-minded nature might just make her a dark horse contender. It really could go either way here. Tune into Total Drama: Crios Cath to see more of Setsuna.


AN: That's everyone, guys! You have any favorite contestants from just these interview opinions so far?
