Listen, I'm not a person who usually hates shows for no reason and hate on things like this, but "Total Drama All Stars" sucked. It only sucked because they tried to cram too much, therefore it didn't even make sense. The characters weren't the same, the show wasn't the same, and the jokes weren't even jokes. I swear the canon ships were pretty bad as well.
I'll speak about the characters first, because that's kinda what made the season bad. Gwen and Courtney were pretty much fan favorites. Personally, I still like both of the as if the whole 'love triangle' between Duncan, Gwen, and Courtney did not exist. The main problem was though, the characters just were changed really badly. Gwen suffered the most perhaps-considering she only came back for Courtney. For Gwen's personality I would think she'd come back for Duncan. She was also seen to have little to no remorse for not breaking up with Duncan after letting him willingly cheat. Honestly, it was really Action that ruined the characters. Gwen would never sabotage Trent-even if he was wild. It's just not her character. Courtney was also a character that suffered character change. Her being the typical 'Type-A', she is a bit annoying. But for a Courtney fan, that's okay. As a Courtney fan I have to say I was disappointed to see she really turned worse. She became so invested in love and getting back at Duncan, it's like she forgot she was competing. Zoey came off a little more dumb. Not noticing Mike's personality change was really out of character. She's more of a girl that's smarter and is capable of finding things out like that faster. It was very obvious. The rest of the characters remained the same. Some having minor character changes (like Duncan) but the changes weren't really bad.
The next thing is just in general, the show was just bad. They tried to put two generations in one season. It wasn't enough drama (hence the title). The drama was just focused around Mal, and Gwen and Duncan. Everyone else kinda seemed to be forgotten about. It may have been a bad season because Heather got less screen time-along with Alejandro. I have noticed the seasons that seem to suck mainly have Heather eliminated pretty early. Her creating drama makes the show more intensifying so it's just better.
Finally, the jokes. The jokes were kind of corny, or just flat out cursed (chris's plant baby scene for an example). Honestly they didn't bring back the people who actually made the show funny. Noah was one of them, his sarcastic comments making World Tour as funny as it was. I believe that that's also another reason why the season was bad.
TLDR; The characters were a little trash and just overall not the same. The show didn't give the same feels and didn't have enough drama. The jokes were just too bad.
