Although it's a spinoff, the Ridonculous Race does some things that remind of the original season (Total Drama Island) that are other season of Total Drama kind of failed to do which was the original idea that this is a reality show with actual challenges and competition. RR brings back the fun, campy, realistic, and competitive nature that TDI had. This season consisted of teams of two whose dynamic relationship gave them a unique advantage/disadvantage over other teams. These teams are then in a race around the world to complete challenges and reach chill zones where they can avoid elimination and continue onto the next round.
Overall this show/season/spin-off was alright. I loved the idea of a parody of "The Amazing Race" and was intrigued by the diverse amount of contestants who all had pretty unique relationships. But I was a little disappointed with the execution of the season. At times it felt like the non-elimination rounds stalled the progress of the show and some of the contestants became one-dimensional with the trait they first had on the show. Some characters did have good-to-great character development which some relationships you couldn't be happier to see progress while others just became annoying. This show does wrap up most of the characters by the time of their elimination so I appreciate that. Still though, this show just seemed lengthy and boring at times with bad episodes leaving a sour taste in your mouth even through good episodes.
In conclusion this is a show that non-Total Drama fans could possibly love especially if they already love competitive reality television shows. While I didn't love the show I could see myself rewatching it more so than some other seasons of Total Drama.
