This chick at work that's a massive cartoon fiend turned me on to this show as of late. Looked extremely goofy at first, but it's actually pretty funny...but I actually was watching it and suddenly it hit me...each of the characters on this show reminds me of someone from the Hype. I may compile a list later. :o

Dammit Terry, you're still watching cartoons?

Hell yeah, *****. You need to watch Flapjack. That is the most ****ed up cartoon on tv right now.
 
I followed the blog when it aired in Canada so I know who wins but I'm so hooked on this show and psyched to watch it here in the states. It reminds me of Clone High. Duncan's my favorite.

Back row: Spoons, K18, jag, kaiendemo, Immortalfire


I'll finish it up later. ATP is the second from the left in the front row, I already got her down. :o
 
yeah, i don't get Canadian humour down here.
 
The Spoons comparison was so glaringly obvious. As soon as I saw that dude in the vid I thought to myself, "Are you kidding me?"
 
I don't care much for total drama island, but what about Chowder. Great show. I also love Fred Fredburger from the Grim Adventures of Billy and Mandy. : )
 
Another minimalist flash animated cartoon, this one spoofing the already heavily-spoofed reality show genre? Eh...we'll see.

But my favorite character is easily Gwen. Love those cartoon goth girls.

Love this show. :o
 
We all know who Owen is. Just check the photo album thread. :o
 
Cheesy tabloid fame and a small fortune which, let's face it, you'll probably blow in a week.

I know it's not terribly age appropriate but I watch this show with my 3 year old nephew. Some characters come off as glaring stereotypes ("Hey y'all, LeShawna's in the house! I'm all that and a bag of chips!") but they tend to have substance regardless, even if they're voted off early. The show's got a few problems including forced-feeling lines and episodes with no actual storylines (but then isn't that what reality tv is all about?) I can overlook these however, as I enjoy a good ensemble piece. Also of interest, the first episode had some obvious editing but after CN plastered on the TV-PG rating, they've become a lot more liberal with words like "Crap" and "Sucking" in last night's ep.

A few notes...

Chris McLane: He's a sadistic d-bag and loving every moment of it.

Owen- I love his gay slip ups. "I sure am glad it's just us guys here, ya know what I mean? ...Wait! I didn't mean it like that! I loooove chicks! I just don't wanna sleep near them! No, wait!" Incidentally, though, he does hook up with a female contestant.

Duncan: It's refreshing to see a bad boy who can actually back up his image.

Courtney: I'm so Courtney/Duncan shipping right now. (sPoiler alert?)

Geoff:...

I've been using "Life's over just like that! If you don't have a party every monday, you're gonna regret it!" as a personal mantra lately.

LeShawna: I crack up a little everytime she says "White girl"

Harold: Gosh! What a completely original character and not glaringly obvious homage to a semi-recent pop culture icon!

Lindsay: "I can so totally keep a secret! This one time, my sister had major diarrhea when she was on a date and she called me from the restaurant's bathroom to bring her toilet paper because they were all out and I never told a soul." *looks at camera* "Er, oops. Sorry Paula."

Gwen: Like a cross between Clone High's Joan of Arc and X-Men Evolution's Rogue.
 
I've tried to watch this show like... 3 times... It sucks baboon balls. Maybe the later episodes will be better.
 
Animation style looks a lot like Clone High. Is it the same guys?
