I know everyone thinks stud muffin will go, but i just hope he can mingle his way out every episode. Jules is looking to be a solid character and derek is growing in me

[@alejandrothevillain2097]

It brings me laughter that Erik is trying to act like Cosmo.

[@ExoticUwUz]

Week 2 of Exotic trying to get Cove to make Erik sing Welcome to The Black Parade by My Chemical Romance. So this episode was one hell of a roller coaster...I almost cried while watching it. Let's go over it, shall we? I did not expect *DAVID* of all people to be the reason why Bonnie was kidnapped, that is wild but I can forgive him, he did it for a good cause. It seems we are taking the Dakota route for Bonnie by making her an intern of some sorts. I desperately need an Anika segment every episode now, Cove please make that a thing. Either that or an Anika spin-off I want her to continue spilling the tea. We stan Liana and Steven's friendship, it's one of the best friendships out there. I wish we saw more of them interacting during CbC but hey, what do I know? About the whole Kate and Jules dilema, I don't know what side I see more. It's clear Kate doesn't have a crush on Jules and she took Stuart's words that way but all Stuart said was that the athletic competitors get along the most. I have a feeling Porter and Maddy will be a couple by the end of the season, they are so cute together that I can't help but ship them. I love how Maddy trusts Porter about Stuart. I lowkey want a Maddy vs Stuart finale because it seems as if we are leading up to that but again, we'll see if my thoughts on who the final two could be will change. Derek trying to get advice from my best girl, Jackie, nice! It feels as if this cast is getting advice from their team coaches because we had Jules get some from Greg last ep. Erik taking strategies from previous TDNG antagonists I see. Keep trying, they'll take you seriously someday. I can clearly get antagonist vibes from him this season, hope he merges. I'm definitely rooting for this emo over here. [I don't like to use the word "villiain" for TDNG and Total Drama in general.] Belinda and Kevin clearly do not want to get back together, all they want is to be on good terms as friends and I feel that. I'm not going to touch on my personal life here in the comments because this isn't about me like...at all. I still see each perspective though, everyone needs to stop trying to force them to get back together and just let them remain friends. Along with that, if they want to get back together in the future, they should do that in their own accord, not because everyone wants them to. It's their decisions not the others. Enough about my rant, I was *NOT* expecting a musical number and ngl, the singers were spitting straight up bars the entire song. Best song in the series, no cap. This gives me more hope that you'll let Erik sing "Welcome to The Black Parade". Also, every time I get to see a new Grackie pose, I fucking scream. I can't help myself, I fucking love Grackie. The ship is my OTP. The Pure Powers bonding moment got me to almost tear up, I haven't almost cried at TDNG since Island Homecoming. I'm rooting for everyone on that team no, they are now my favorite team. Team Grief is now my 2nd fav team. The moments in this challenge are iconic, I'm not describing all of them but I had to give a separate highlight to the bonding moment. Anyways, I knew Steven was leaving because of his wheelchair but he went out as a noble man and we love that. I salute you Steven, the Pure Powers will carry on for you. Can't wait for Episode 5, this season might become my third favorite right behind Island Homecoming and Starlight Savanna respectively. #TeamPurePowers #TeamMaddy #TeamAnika #TeamErik #LetErikSingWelcomeToTheBlackParadebyMCR #EveryoneIsGay

[@nozominous2956]

DEFINITELY my favorite episode so far! It was really sad for me to see ______ go though… but overall, amazing episode! The development and dynamics are really fun to watch!

[@evatheunderrated3734]

This episode was…amazing. Definitely my favorite this season, and probably in my top 5 overall. Everything about it was perfect. If I hadn’t looked at the comments before watching, you’d probably have tricked me into thinking Liana was getting eliminated. That moment with the powers team was just…yes. Everything about it was perfect, especially Derek, who is now tied with Erik for my favorite character. Speaking of Erik, he’s an antagonist yet I’m rooting for him. That’s one of the best signs of amazing writing. The other best sign? If something’s made by Cove. This episode has also made me root for Kate, even tho she’s already made it far. Besides the powers team bonding scene, and something I’ll get to later because I forgot it at first, my favorite part was the humor. And by humor, I mean Erik. Especially 26:09, that’s the funniest moment of the season. Comeback cruise Erik and BSB Erik are the top 2 funniest character incarnations in all of TDNG imo. Also, Paddy/Morter…I ship it. The powers bonding scene may have been my favorite moment of the episode, and every Erik scene may have been the funniest part of the episode, but neither of those are the part I enjoyed the most. No, the part I enjoyed the most is the best song TDNG has ever made. The lyrics, the voices, and especially giving Porter character development *through song*, everything about it is perfect. I am now rooting for Kevin and Porter because of it. Kevin and Porters song>>>>>>>every other song in existence. I predict Lianas gonna get more development next episode, can’t wait to see it. RIP Steven, I liked him but he didn’t need to make it farther. #teamDerek #teamErik #teamKate #teamPorter #teamKevin #teamanyoneimforgetting #teameveryonetbh

[@hulkjon6094]

Brief Spoilers: Once again typing this as the episode goes on. I'm really loving the new interactions that I didn't know I needed until now. I also like how you reworked some of your original ideas for the original Breton Strikes Back. Like if I remember correctly, you had Derek & Caroline feuding but she helps him with his anger(Or something like that), and you use Jackie instead which works a lot better. Also really loving Erik this season and him changing personalities is perfect because it doesn't work and it's just funny. Once again I'm really enjoying the new interactions this season: Kate & Belinda, Kate & Jules, Derek & Jackie, Steven & Liana, Erik & everyone, Porter & Maddy. I'm going to be honest when I watched Camp Breton, I was not fond of most characters aka Kevin, Belinda & Porter. But I'm finally liking the bromance between Kevin & Porter, and the rebuilding romance of Kevlinda(Kevin & Belinda's ship name?). That song took me by surprise and it's so fucking stupid and great, I need more songs in this season!!!! But it also gives more character for Kevin & Porter I am seriously loving the character development this season between: Jackie, Jules, Kate, Liana, Maddy, Porter and especially Derek. Seriously that team meeting on PP(Pure Powers) was a fantastic scene and finally goes deep into Derek's character. And really shows how great Cove is at storytelling, if he could make my least favorite character (Derek) into a character that I'm really liking and enjoying. The team meeting also just makes me appreciate these teams more than the other teams beforehand. Another fantastic episode once again Cove!!!!

[@alessandrotenuta3440]

Nice episode, I'm really enjoying the dynamics they are creating! Steven's elimination wasn't entirely deserved, but I was more sorry if Liana was eliminated. See you next time

[@totaldramatyler4484]

Episode spoilers. There are so many potential couples now. First Kevin and Belinda maybe getting back together, and now Kate/Jules and Porter/Maddy I'm really liking the dynamics with Jackie and Derek. Both are becoming way calmer. That song with Porter and Kevin was straight fire! I can't believe Derek actually has a soft side. I have a strong feeling that Erik put the carrot there to sabotage the Pure Powers. Also Erik pretending to act like Cosmo was absolutely hilarious, when everyone looked at him when the carrot went missing, I thought he put it somewhere, if you catch my drift. I feel so bad for Steven quitting, but I figured it would happen sooner or later. If Stuart isn't the next one out, I'll be shocked. I don't want to see everyone go. They are all so entertaining, and Erik is that one antagonist you can actually root for. #TeamEveryone Also I'm gonna go on record and say this may be the funniest episode you've ever come out with

[@evatheunderrated3734]

Still in the middle of rewatching the first 3 episodes, but here’s something I wanted to say last episode but forgot to add to my comment Porters new nickname and the conversation about it is the best thing I’ve ever seen, thanks Anika😂 I’ll edit my comment after watching this episode :)

[@maxperdu4612]

Erik in his gay era?! Uh… yeah of course I’m stanning lol

[@maxperdu4612]

Also “Tea Time with Anika” was my favorite part of the episode teehee

[@twistedtruths3032]

First off all, my prediction of jules and kate was right. Which is awesome Now my elimination predicition cause i feel like after these few episodes i can do a prediction. So first: 14th Winona 13th Bonnie 12th Steven Prediction: 11th Stuart (pretty obvios why) 10th Liana (I feel like the other characters need either more time together or for development) 9th Porter (They will see him as a treath because of the friends he has) 8th Kevin (He stayed here long enough and had the time to bond with Belinda) Merge *Bonnie returns* (I feel like bonnie will return because they kept her and she got found so they had to have a reason to have her there) 8th Anika (Pretty obvious she wouldn't be in the final) 7th Maddy (She became a huge treath in this game with the knowledge that she has) 6th Derek (He had a massive character development so i feel 6th feels just right) 5th Bonnie (again) (I don't really have a reason for Bonnie again) 4th Kate (The alliance she and Julian and her and Belinda have was very obvious to Erik, so i feel like he would win immunity and maybe even a sole vote?) 3rd Erik (The antagonist ofcourse) 2nd Belinda (She player great....) 1st Julian (But he played better)

[@XJIcequeen]

So much to talk about but that will lead to spoilers

[@insanity4494]

I feel like a big twist is coming soon but I feel like this season touches on a lot of character development that wasn't in the previous season and I'm basically rooting for everyone except erik

[@samtalebi3276]

Yo this episode was great! the amount of development Derek got was amazing, the song with Kevin and Porter was straight up 🔥, I have a feeling either Stuart or Anika is gonna get out soon, but yeah I didn’t expect _______ to get out, so yeah, keep up the great work you absolute legend!

[@cjbradley1197]

Great episode, from Kev & Porter’s song, to Maddy adaptibg further into the game to Jackie’s team meeting and Bonnie secretly being brought back so she can have more visions of what’s to come next, solid 8/10. As for Steven’s elimination I figured he’d leave this way, I was hoping he’d sacrifice himself and he did

[@carmenswinsteads]

gets ready!

[@redpandayt8758]

The Kevin and Porter song was fireeeeeee. But anyway great episode really had a great challenge and great interactions. Happy with Steven leaving as i feel like he didnt have a place in this cast.

[@markos3512]

so far i love how this season goes.. erik and anika being so funny, maddie and porter being friends, kate and belinda too. this is going amazing so far and the boot was so sad :(

[@brettadkins7901]

Spoilers ahead… Loved the episode Cove! This was by far my favorite this season, even though I say that after every episode lol. The character development this episode was top notch. Like it was so so so good. Loving the details we got on Derek’s backstory. Tea time with Anika cracked me upppp. Like thats one of the most random and funny scenes you’ve ever done and I love it. Wasn’t expecting Anika to be comedic relief this season but I’m here for it. The relationships that developed this episode were also amazing! I’m loving the Maddy and Porter storyline especially. Also the fact that Kate and Jules might be a thing is shocking in a good way. Such an unexpected duo but I love their chemistry. I feel like I can finally make somewhat of a prediction for this season, even though it’ll probably be wrong lol. But here it is… 11th- Stuart (As most people have said, I’d be absolutely shocked if he lasts any longer than the next episode or two) 10th- Liana (Not sure how she’ll go out but I just don’t feel like she’s making merge) 9th- Anika (As much as I love her and I want her to go deep into the game, I just don’t see her merging unless she starts strategizing SOON) 8th- Kevin (I feel like Kevin will go home right around this placement. He’ll have time to get good with Belinda again but ultimately I think he won’t make merge.) MERGE 7th- Porter (I feel like he will merge but will be seen as a big threat socially and he will get picked off very soon) 6th- Kate (Kate has proven to be a super strong player and I think she will be taken out a few episodes into the merge. Maybe by Erik? Idk, I could see Erik having a chaotic villain arc where he flips sides every episode to keep himself safe.) 5th- Derek (This just feels right for him tbh) 4th- Belinda (The last member of the Pure Powers standing. I predict she will bond with Maddy in the merge and play a good game but ultimately she won’t make the finals.) 3rd- Erik (In a good position to make the finals but ultimately screws himself over in his own madness and chaos. Idk. Lol) 2nd- Jules (Loses to Maddy, but completes his arc of understanding that winning isn’t everything, and he leaves satisfied.) 1st- Maddy (Shes giving me such strong winner vibes right now. The literal definition of an underdog, and she’s already proven that she’s a powerful player when she’s in the right mindset.)

[@hulkjon6094]

Spoilers Down Below: Yeah no surprise Steven is out it was very obvious from Episode 1 but it was actually sad especially considering how Team PP(Pure Powers) bonded this episode. Like I said incredibly predictable but still a bit heartbreaking. Next Predictions: Stuart: Goes home because of his poor performance in the past episodes and I think he'll be the reason they lose the map challenge thing. Anika: She's the hardest to tell how far she'll go, she could go next episode of last until the final 5, she's hard to predict Liana: Because of this episode I really only see her going home next on Pure Powers, but maybe Cove will surprise us.

[@thexiatkills]

Anika eating. I sense a Stuart boot on the horizon, which is unfortunate cause #BiKing but oh well

[@stormslasher9471]

Another banger of a episode cove Jules x Kate dynamic is interesting love what you’re doing here The Stuart and maddy rivalry coming I just know it Greg x Jackie still the best couple Love the development with Derek Always love your singing portions the rap was iconic Jules continues to be the best character my goat Steven leaving sucks but at least he went out notably Can’t wait for the next episode #TeamJules #TeamKevin #TeamErik #TeamDerek

[@mrtrappedchest7160]

Spoilers: PORTELINE IS BECOMING MORE CANON!!! Maddy is finally getting deserved personality as well. She’s a little firecracker! And Porter is full on there for it. Liana, I really hope she makes it far with this second chance. She deserves a shot, what with her two eliminations being with another player in both of her previous seasons. She will also likely forever be my favorite character! Derek is becoming a good character as well, as he’s actually growing a great amount from this angry guy to a guy with a lot of personality and heart! Loving it! Other than that, this episode was stellar, and I can’t wait for more!

[@nicogaming2859]

liana fans eating so good rn

[@ryu-605]

Cove winning the " Make Liana Ryu's favorite again " challenge be like:

[@thesuperean3008]

Let’s GO!

[@thatguy5172]

Man, i loved this episode but it made me so sad at the same time. First things first, Porter and Maddy have got to be the best friendship I've seen forming so far, Jules and Kate are a close second. Erik seems to be going a little crazy and honestly i don't mind that at all. I like what's happening with Derek. The man finally seems to be getting some sort of grip on himself and honestly after hearing his backstory in this episode, I feel so bad for disliking him as a character. he is truly starting to become one of my favorites this season. However, the saddest moment of this episode was the elimination. My top 3 favorite characters that were put into this season were Porter, Kate and Steven. Seeing one of my top 3 go so soon hurts. Steven is someone Who i see having another round in him if another all-star season happened. While he was a finalist in season 4, I could see him winning a future all-star season if it ever happened. Sad to see him go but at least there's no ill will behind it and he was ok with it. Overall, great episode once again to you and your crew cove. Keep it up.

[@totaldramafan9249]

Great episode Cove! EPISODE SPOILERS I like the positions all characters! "Tea time with Anika" XD We are waiting for the next episodes of rhis program. Haha It's nice that David decided to make Bonnie an intern At least here it is :) It's good that Kate and Jules are helping Kevin and Belinda to become a couple they match themselves. Erik was the best XD First he got a snowball in the face and then he became the nose of a snowman. It's nice that Kevin and Porter are best friends :) their song was cool :) Poor Derek :( It's a pity that he had such a chilhood... I feel sorry for him I wish Steven was gone. He was coping and kind to everyone. But he did it for the Liana #TeamInternBonnie #TeamKevin #TeamPorter #TeamKevinAndPorterAreBestFriends #TeamJules #TeamKate #TeamBelinda #TeamKevinXBelinda #TeamAnika #TeamMaddy #TeamMaddyXPorter #TeamErik #TeamLiana #TeamDerek #TeamGregAndJackie #TeamStuart I wait for next episode Cove

[@Tokubrother]

I didn’t expect that song

[@dwixd316]
