[edit] New Episode

The 27th episode is confirmed on the CN schedule! The TDA special! Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Show]. --Totaldramaman My Fanfiction 04:43, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Okay. That's good. Unfortunately, we can't use the Total Drama Wiki as a source, and we need a clearer source than the CN schedule. Also, I am happy you are back on Wikipedia! --Hadger 17:10, 28 March 2010 (UTC)

Hadger, I'm not actully back on wikipedia. :$ I almost got banned for fluffing. On the TDWiki, I am a few edits away from voting in Featured Quote. (I am Mr. Totaldramaman (MTDM)) I may come here once a week...but...you get it. The good news is I'm not a n00b anymore! :P I type correctely. --Totaldramaman My Fanfiction 23:30, 1 April 2010 (UTC)

I'm back on Wikipedia, though! (98.231.219.50 (talk) 17:28, 4 April 2010 (UTC)) or RSRC

[edit] What?

This cast-mate was eliminated unabledly.

Is "unabledly" even a word? (Microsoft word says it's a typo) It looks like some long overlooked vandalism. I would delete that entire part and change all the OUTs in that color to the original "vote off" color, but I'm wondering if there's any special circumstances related to those contestant's eliminations. (Izzy's first, Lindsay's, and both of Owen's, if you're wondering.) Great Pikmin Fan (TD) (Talk) 17:05, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

There are some special circumstances about those eliminations, I've first removed those colors and added them back to their original "voted off" colors like you just said, but then saw several other editors add them back, meaning that those eliminations must be colored seperately, so I guess just leave them red, but I do agree that we need a better word than "unabledy". Do you know anything special about those eliminations? I know that Owen was voted off unfairly before he returned, and that Lindsay voted herself out. Giggett (talk) 17:15, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
I haven't seen that much of the second season, but from what I know:
  • Dunno about Izzy's first elimination.
  • Owen's elimination was caused by the rest of the Grips voting for Courtney, who was invincible. Courtney voted for Owen, and with one vote he was gone.
  • Here's what I have seen. Lindsay voted herself by accident, leading to enough votes to secure her elimination.
  • And Owen wasn't voted off the second time; he got removed once the remaining three found out he was brought back to help Chris.
Yeah... all except Izzy's seem to be from an irregular way of being eliminated. Owen's second time cauld be considered removed (RM, like how I would mark Sierra's elimination), Lndsay and Owen's first could be marked with another color, but then again it sounds a little trivial. Great Pikmin Fan (TD) (Talk) 17:29, 22 June 2011 (UTC)
So I guess that "unfairly" sounds better than "unabledy" then, and I think this applies too for the TDWT table. As for Owen's second elimination, I'm guessing a "Fired" tag sounds better than a red elimination Giggett (talk) 17:31, 22 June 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Double Eliminations in the Elimination Order

Someone reverted my edits to the elimination table, claiming that Bridgette placed above Geoff just because Geoff entered the limo first, and that Owen is above Courtney because he entered the limo later. Why, exactly, should something like that determine place in the case of a double elimination? In the case of Geoff and Bridgette, they both got enough votes to secure their eliminations, and did not compete in anything game related during those few seconds Bridgette stayed on. The order they left does not matter and it is a rediculous form of trivia to use that to base who ranked higher, especially since Blaineley and Courtney are listed as tied just because they happened to drop at the exact same time. If Courtney and Blainely are tied, then Geoff and Bridgette should definitly be too, and maybe Owen and Courtney. (It's tricky for the latter since Owen was fired while Courtney was voted off.)

With Izzy and DJ in World Tour, their seperation makes sense since Izzy's removal was mid game during the challenge and DJ lost in an entirly seperate elimination ceremony. My point is that if they lose at the same elimination ceremony, the exact order they left shouldn't determine a tie break. Counting a few seconds is just unnecessarly trivial even for the Total Drama wiki, let alone here; we can just leave it at a tie. This is a table for how they played the game, not how long they managed to stay on. Changing the places just makes the thing rather confusing and over analytical. Great Pikmin Fan (TD) (Talk) 17:46, 11 July 2011 (UTC)

Adendum: And yeah, not even the Total Drama wiki (which has very lengthy trivia sections for every character article I read) counts those few seconds. Bridgette and Geoff are tied, and so are Owen and Courtney. Great Pikmin Fan (TD) (Talk) 02:51, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

Okay then, you may be right, I reverted my change which merged both of the ranks together. Also, it seems that there was no third place, so I have added Courtney as the 14th voted out and Owen as disqualified, both taking 3rd and 4th Giggett (talk) 04:24, 12 July 2011 (UTC)

[edit] Eliminations on Episode Tables

I've had a problem with a user with a changing IP that keeps adding eliminations on the episode tables several times. A few months ago we all agreed that eliminations were to no longer be added on these articles but this user just keeps adding them and as soon as I remove them, the user adds them back. I don't want to remove the eliminations again since I don't want to get into an edit war, so I'm asking if anyone reading this can remove those eliminations since I can't do it myself without being banned since I don't want to pass 3 reverts.  Giggett (talk) 03:05, 7 December 2011 (UTC)
