User blog:EnderEmerald46/If Body Swap was in TDA

Now I want you to hear me out on this before you comment, I'm gonna give MULTIPLE reasons on why there should have been a body swap episode in Total Drama Action, just hear me out here.

It appears in a lot of movies
Obviously we know Freaky Friday, a body swap story it has 3 movies based on it (Done in 1976, 1995, and 2003, the third one garnering $110,222,438), but from Wikipedia's page alone on |Body swap appearances in media, body swapping has occurred in at least 59 movies, counting the 3 Freaky Friday films. And this is me not counting it occurring in novels, TV, video games, short stories, and manga...or basically Books, TV and Video Games.

And don't say I didn't plan out a challenge for this argument, I did, and in fact...

The challenge is simple yet interesting
What would be a better challenge for the body swap genre then to have pairs of contestants pretending to be each other? Chris could watch from the monitors how it goes and rate the acting on how accurately the person acts, how interesting/funny(?) the acting is, and how little they break character. Bonus points to Chris if breaking character in confessional counts. Bonus points to the contestants if they switch clothes as well. In the end those three factors are put into a score, and whoever has the highest score wins. It could work for teams AND no teams, if teams have a total team score.

Not to mention a factor that's kinda important in Total Drama...

It could cause a plot point for TDA
The plot point being, let's say, this is off the top of my head, the antagonist of the season finding a coin or some other item that allows him/her to actually switch bodies with whoever he/she is closest to. This could allow for a good plot of the same person cheating to get to the finale before being caught, for example.

Oh, and for anyone who watches that show...

=A Total Drama character HAS swapped bodies in TV before== In the Season 2 episode of Skatoony, a game show that features real life kids facing cartoon characters in an animated place, the episode fittingly being called "Body Swap", the magical Mexican cartoon contestant Fernando Fernando Fernando, despite being horrible at trivia, goes through the game by cheating by using magic to switch with someone who isn't leaving. To sum it up, there are 6 players (3 real, 3 cartoon if you must know), and after Round 1, the two people with the lowest scores are kicked out of the game, and the same happens after Round 2, then Round 3 has the final two competing in a challenge that ends with the winner moving on to the final round. Now, once an episode there's either a guest star from Total Drama or Jimmy Two Shoes, and that episode's guest star was Dakota (Not Dakotazoid) from TDROTI...no points if you guess who FFF swaps with at the end of Round 1...That's right, Dakota, so there has actually been body swapping that involves Total Drama, just not in TDA.

And just to point it out...

I can list an ACTUAL genre from TDA that has less movies than Body Swap
Well, I have a few, but one I'm certain of, the next few ones are kinda iffy to me:


 * Hospital
 * Pirate
 * Fairytale
 * Animal Buddy

And what's the genre I'm sure has less than Body Swap, which has 59? Simple: The Prehistoric Genre.

I mean, sure, it's common, but I want to say this: I'm speaking Prehistoric as in "Cavemen", so movies with only dinosaurs do NOT count, those are Dinosaur movies, or, if I were to compare it to a TDA genre, monster movies. If anyone would like to prove me right or wrong on this, or even mention a type/genre of movie that may have less than 59 movies, you can say so in the comments.

Conclusion
Anyway I, I know it's kinda been a roundabout way of saying it, but I guess the whole point I'm tryin' to make here is

'''I! HATE! SAUERKRAUT!'''

No, it's that there should have been a body swap episode in TDA, if anyone agrees or disagrees, feel free to say so in the comments, but if you disagree, please have a reason, and I mean a real reason. You can also say any ideas or evidence on why it should have happened if you want. Alright, that's enough for now, I'll see you all later!
