The “Izzy Isn’t Crazy” Conspiracy
HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 16 июл 2024
- Have you ever heard a theory and then realized it actually makes a ton of sense? Not only that, but it actually makes more sense than the actual “truth?” Have you ever watched a show over and over since it initial release in the late 2000’s and noticed some plot holes or contrivances that could be easily filled with the conspiracy theory? Have you ever lied your way onto a reality show and then emotionally manipulated your cast mates to win a large some of money? …no? Just her?
I rewatched it and I’ll do it again

Thank you for making this video.
Wait a minute I know that name
@@BHultra it’s the bloke who made the comprehensive roast on total drama seasons
Oh my gosh it's the funny guy who roasted total drama
Who could have tought that swich1e commented
My beloved
As someone who has literally never seen a single episode of Total Drama in my entire life: This was the most entertaining cartoon character analysis ever.
Same
Same
watch a episode bro it’s like a 2000s fever dream
U need to get on that
binge watch it, this show gets u hooked doesn’t matter if it’s for kids it’s too entertaining to avoid
Her delivery of the "License to kill" line is so nonchalant and threatening at the same time, it's hilarious
It’s like that one scene with Daffy in the Looney Tunes show.
@@liviwaslost I love how broad that was
The fact that izzy gaslighted everyone without them realizing is crazy
Gaslighting isn’t real
@@Abandoned_Account88 yes it is
@@honkhonk4982 no it isn’t your just making things up
@@Abandoned_Account88 i see what you did there lol
@@honkhonk4982Wdym? Gaslighting isn’t real.
Small nitpick/common misconception, Gwen wasn't the Canadian winner. Her ending only aired in Finland, Japan, Latin America, Norway, Poland, Romania and Sweden.
In the American version, "Because I'm from America," Owen wins in total drama and loses it all away
Yea im from Australia and we got the Owen Beth heather Cameron etc endings and im assuming they're the canon ones
common romanian W
For me in America the endings were Owen, Duncan, and Heather
I didn't realize there were different endings, I remember Owen winning but rather than taking the money he decides to come back for the next season 🤔
I find it funny that Izzy was one of the only first gen characters properly dressed with intent for such a survival show, which is probably cause she knows Chris McLean and that he was lying about the hotel. Whatever Heather is wearing is a little practical, but was supposed to be for fashion.
Owen and Leshawna weren’t too bad but jeans… if they can do that they can, and heather dressed perfect
Tyler was good too
Heathers was and IM pretty sure her outfit was based on survivors outfits
Heather was perfect and Bridgette was alright, those two and Izzy were the most appropriately dressed knao
I think Eva was tbh
Izzy is just the personification of “my goals are beyond your understanding”
That is true tho
True
Yeah.
Yep. I'm the same way. I act crazier in public than I actually am to throw off potential attackers, if they think you're crazier than them and look like you're barely holding on by a thread they tend to leave you alone. There's this skinhead in my town always staring me down whenever he sees me around town, but he's never said or done anything because I'm always carrying 2 machetes on me and look like a bum so it seems like I have nothing to lose.
@@SeviathTheHumanDrago dude where do you live?
What if Izzy is actually in her early to mid 20s, but just looks like a teen. I feel like this makes sense for how smart and experienced Izzy is. This is kind of a reach, but maybe that’s why she laughed when Gwen said she just wishes to finish high school. Also, maybe that’s how Izzy knows chef. I’m not to familiar with Canadian laws, but here in the USA you have to at least be 18 to be drafted into the military.
16 with parental permission
in Canada you can join the reserves at sixteen and she did say she spent a summer in the reserves.
@jazmin-qu2xkYeah, but cartoons have shown those types of relationships before and since.
Uh I have a injection to that I’d that’s true then why does her mom call her a kid I think she said that
@jazmin-qu2xk Well technically the age of consent in Canada is 16 years old which they all ( supposedly) are in island. So if it was true it would be absolutely fucked, but still not illegal.
The cartoon was designed to mock reality shows, so Izzy being manipulative secretly to win isnt just written as a mistake.
Izzy’s pain tolerance may explain the lie detector thing. She might be being shocked constantly but doesn’t care/feel anything bc of how high her tolerance to pain is.
This. If you’ve been in battle before, got shot, AND survived Chris’ challenges, you could probably tolerate a mild electric shock.
That’s actually perfect for her since it’d then allow her to fake a reaction to the shock whether she’s lying or not whenever she wants
Except, we don't hear the shock. But, we do the first time.
Right. It could be old and just going off randomly... Or it does work and she ignores the shocks or the shocks are responding against her biological state. If she can "believe" the lies and not know they are lies, it's like passing a polygraph. With her being able to come up with new personalities, it is a way to fragment her mind to make the lies more believable to her body, circumventing the shocks and saving mental resources. So maybe Izzy is like an MKULTRA fighter in the alien war.
@@Iquey This. This is what I was thinking, this makes the most sense to me
Izzy is the definition of “my enemy’s can’t know what I’m doing if I don’t know what I’m doing”
You may have outsmarted me, but i outstupided your outsmarting.
@@Asillyfella21
AH, I've been out dimwitted! My only weakness 😩👋
exactly
Lmao me
this entire video was the point is that she DOES know what shes doing
Izzy truly has the perfect strategy. She acts crazy so no one sees her as a real threat. She loses on purpose, but also conveniently saves her team when she has to. She doesn’t even need to win. Ultimately, she just has to be the most memorable. She’s already gotten on the show. That’s already a win. If she can be the loudest most unhinged person, the audience won’t soon forget her. And she gets close enough to the guy who wins that she probably thought she could get a piece of those winnings herself. She probably never even intended to win. Just play the game as long as possible. After all, it’s not really about the money for her. It’s the thrill of the game.
The Lucy Gray strategy of winning (except, LG actually wins lol)
double trouble from she ra style wanting to get into her role
I feel like Izzy intentionally yelled LeShawna’s name on the final 5. She was the only one to do so, and because she realized that even the parrots words counted, she said LeShawna’s name loud enough to get as many parrots to mimic her as possible.
OMGGGGG
I like combining the "Heather was kept on the show purposefully" and the "Izzy isn't crazy", works pretty hand-in-hand.
same
Genius
a perfect marriage of a theory!
Same
Honestly speaking, Heather being kept on the show on purpose makes sense. If you watch Survivor, you know that some of the most well-known contestants are the villains, so if the producers/Chris saw how much money Heather was bringing in by all the drama she causes, I could totally see them intervening to keep her on
An interesting tidbit for this show: Even though all the contestants are 16 years old as stated by Chris. The 43 year old Blaineley was allowed to compete on the show. So, it may be entirely possible that Izzy is a fully grown woman who has a youthful complexion pretending she's a teenager for the sake of blending in.
wait wait wait how do you know "Blaineley" Mildred Andrew Stacey O'Halloran's exact age?
@@stolenmemesfromdiscord The Wiki
this has......troubling implications for her already.....horrifying relationship with Owen........tbf though, super genius Izzy is already fucked up enough to do that.
Owen is 30.. I just looked it up out of curiosity.. SOOOOO..
@@user-Andrew65Love He was born in 1990, so actually he would’ve been 17 by the time TDI was “filmed”.
Tbh I’ve always loved Izzy. All these theory’s makes her more even more likable and mysterious
Same here I hope in future seasons she comes back with my three favorite characters Gwen and Dawn and Zoey
As someone who's been growing out a buzzcut for a year, Heather's hair growth does make sense
I think they mention in the show that they are extensions.
"Either Izzy was smart enough to trick the doctor, or that's a really bad doctor."
Considering by season 3 Chris was committing full on Geneva Convention/Human Rights violations, that "doctor" is probably a hotdog vendor he paid $50 to play dress up for a day.
this comment is underrated
Fax 😂 😊
Izzy’s doctor was one of the interns that died 🤣
Bro, the doctor would clearly be Chef in a doctor outfit.
@@pokemon05100that’s true! He was the killer (the fake one) and the animatronic!
I always viewed Izzy in "burdened by knowledge" archetype of character. Those people who are smart enough to dominate whatever they want, but know too much and stop functioning like a normal person. Often leading to the creation of their own problems.
Haha that's me
@PowerNO Grief meh I'm smart enough to dominate what I'm interested in because I'm a fast learner with photographic memory so I'd say speak for yourself, respectfully. Anyway I was mostly talking about the part of not being able to function like a "normal" human being because I sometimes end up making people rethink their entire life without actually standing by anything I just told them.
@@babyjuicesisterco.4723 If that was you, you wouldn't be bragging about it. Not smart person move
@@babyjuicesisterco.4723 Maybe in your fantasies
@@babyjuicesisterco.4723 Remember not to confuse high intelligence with simply overthinking things on a normal basis.
I'm realizing now that the reason izzy didn't rejoin the game in world tour is probably because of how hard it would be to track down the plane in order to get back in the game
And yet Ezekiel stays and sneaks into the plane for the entire show.
Other possiblity for Izzy dressing as a bear: She did it to spice up the show, either because Chris told her to or because she thought it would get her in his good graces. As you said, she mentions in the tape that the show wont be boring with her on it, likely why she was chosen. Therefore, this woukd be a good way to further that goal.
Theres also the question of where the costume came from, maybe she requested it from the crew!
Given her apparent past with chef and the fact that she was a premed student it honestly wouldn’t surprise me if Izzy was also way older than she claims to be.
"I've been reincarnated, like, 80 times." I'm willing to lean into it.
@@nadroji6549 If that is the case I'd like to think that every reincarnation looks the exact same. That way when Chef says "Not again" he actually means he had a reincarnation of Izzy as one of his military pals that died in front of his eyes.
@@Jaeeden
All it really needs is just the one that served w/ Chef & we're golden. TBH I wouldn't be too surprised if that were the case considering how crazy this show can get.
@@nadroji6549 I forgot what the term was when you joined the military so I went with "military pals" lol. Thank you for reminding me of the word "served"

You'd be right?
@@frozenfoxgames5300 is that a question?
@@deku976
Nope. Fucking autocorrect
@@frozenfoxgames5300 lmao
Guilty as fucking charged
Two corrections:
1 - Izzy didn't care about the prize money. She only really cared about having fun and manipulating the game and its rules. She was intelligent enough and had the skills to win every show there is and make as much money as she wanted to but that's not the point. Also, if she did care about the prize, she wouldn't have willingly gotten herself off the show in season 1 (after coming back).
2 - I don't think Izzy knew about the second season because she read the fine print, but rather because she knew she suitcase they had was empty. A suitcase with 1 million dollars, or even 100 thousand dollars would be way heavier than an empty one. She noticed it, proven by how she claims to change her name to Kaleidoscope *after* holding the suitcase. Which is also the reason why she gave it to Justin. Not because she can't resist him, because she knew it didn't matter anyway.
She is the Total drama series version of the Joker

@@bunsenn5064 edgiest comment i've ever seen

This is a really weird piece of information that i feel not many people know about but, in an official game promoting world tour called "oh no you di'n't" you have to pick the character based off of a description and one of descriptions for Noah is "Hes the second smartest camper (next to izzy)". so officially Izzy is the smartest character, that might be useful information for this theory but honestly idk, they might of said it in the show already (i haven't watched all the series yet)
42:59 Freddy Fazbear
Sort of off topic, but isn't Alejandro the smartest next to Izzy? Or did the game not involve Alejandro/Sierra?
@@MaruchanPrimeNoah is probably a bit smarter than Alejandro, just wayyy less socially capable so Alejandro tends to implement his intelligence socially way better.

@@springtrap54009thank god I’m not the only one who thought of this. I was only listening to it and forgot what happened in that episode and I was like “wait..what?”
Another thing that proves that Izzy isn't crazy is in All Stars when she asks "Mike" about Mal, proving that she knows what's going on and isn't just some lunatic
I also think Izzy isn’t actually psychotic. When she says “psychotherapy runs in my family” she meant that her family ARE psychotherapists and she learned from them how to read and manipulate people. This is why she was able to see through Mike and recognize that he had DID; she knows a lot about psychology and mental conditions and could recognize it in him right away.
@@gregjayonnaise8314 so basically, she's a sociopath psychotherapist who is using her acquired skills to manipulate the entire world.

"Courtney defiently would of been voted off this episode if Ezekial didn't get possessed, he's like "I have to say something sexist immediantly!"."
best summary ever
The fact Izzy kept her crazy mask to the confession, I think it's because she knows what the host wants and what the viewers want (entertainment), so she keeps the mask to become adored by the audience and even to keep her strategy up, knowing that someone might notice she isn't crazy sometime so she needs to keep her mask on until the game is over.
Izzy's always been one of my favorite Total Drama characters and this video has just cemented that and made me love her more. This theory makes her character so much more complex, and I love that!!!

@@GatoAmor 8 if you include the weird daycare one
So why does Izzy help Sierra? Maybe because the Total Drama superfan, who has seen every episode so many times, also figured out the truth. My theory is Sierra wrote a blog about Izzy's "craziness" - Izzy found it somehow, & made a deal: Sierra doesn't tell anyone what she's discovered, and Izzy supplies her with all the gossip about the cast she could ever want.
I love how this theory is getting more and more believable as I watch the video and read these comments
That make si much sense
in some moments of the show instead of her expression not changing like most background characters at some moments her face changes from like calm to panicked to back to calm when we’re not focusing on her
15:12 Wow that is a meme clip just waiting to be used.
izzy not having more confessionals is one of the weirdest things to me, especially when she was a fan favorite known for saying weird stuff. thank you for all of the work you put into this video!!
exactly.
My theory is:
She already knew the series would get a second season from the start,and what we know by now is the campers watch newer seasons,meaning they would have probably watched the ones they were in. Izzy wanted to push the crazy thing,so she never confessed. And when she did,it was always pushing the crazy narrative.
Haven't watched the show yet, but let me guess. Some characters are most beloved without overexposure. Maybe she tried to not feed the audience with too many confessionals because she considered herself such a character?

@@gremlinman9724 Came here on rewatch, what do you mean by "ruins the community"? He doesn't ruin communities, he just makes a video on a game of show, etc. on how something could be true. It's just a theory, and people move on from his videos pretty quickly. I can't imagine any damage being done that doesn't come *from* the community involved, rather than *to* the community.
I refuse to believe a show that constantly makes fart jokes has that much thought put into it
I know right!
It doesn’t lol, that’s the point of the theory.
I think something you missed about the audition tapes is that she acted normal in the first one but crazy in the second so perhaps she originally intended to win by just strategising without being crazy cause it’s confirmed she’s the smartest camper but then she must have come up with the crazy facade she planned on using before making the second one which is why she acts so different in that one
Everyone always talks about the "Psychotherapy runs in my family" as proof she's actually crazy, but I disagree. I think she's such a good strategist and manipulator because her parents ARE psychotherapists. She was in med school to become a psychoanalyst/therapist like one/both of her parents. It would explain why she has such a huge understanding of how other people behave and the easiest ways to manipulate them into acting how she wants. It also explains how she knows /exactly/ how to act when pretending to be crazy. She's being consistent in her acting.

I think Izzy having that massive breakdown on set against that guy is perfectly in character: Since day 1 Izzy has shown manipulative traits, being selfish, having possibly zero empathy or remorse for others etc. Even if she somehow wasn't as malicious before joining the show, she could have easily "Became The Mask" she was putting on for the entire show.
She thought she was above being punished after becoming so famous for her acting. She thought she had outsmarted everyone and achieved everything she wanted. So she didn't try to restrain her negative traits when it mattered, ironically.
Which is a thing that happens with a lot of people, not sure the exact medical term (whether it’s narcissism or sociopathy or other) where eventually they get too comfortable. They keep self aggrandizing and think themselves invincible. That’s how most serial killers get caught.

She had machines and often disappeared and came back at weird times. She was also close to the police seen as she somehow managed to trick cops, army troops and sheriffs by wearing there outfits. No one cared when she walked in and used there high-tech stuff or why she had uniforms in her size. Hmmm 🤔
Btw Chef was the teacher in that preschool and Izzy was always talking to Chef
Drama Rama not canon
I’ve never thought about how many of Izzy’s moves were strategic, but this video was a real eye-opener. Now I believe Izzy could make a great finalist in the next season! (provided they use the original cast members)
There'll be a new season? Nice!!

Just a quick nitpick: Chris introduces Chef by listing his prominent jobs, and DJ was one of them. It wasn't secret, it was a _really, really_ late callback.

I don't think she is crazy but I don't think she's an evil villain either because you can see in the episode where Owen broke his jaw Izzy was the most worried about him
she needs to keep her facade going
@@oliviaknowstrivia Yeah but she's not a villain
He's kinda implying that Izzy doesn't care about anyone and making her out to be evil and she cares a lot about Owen even before they officially started dating
Notice how her face looks when she says "Animal brethren". Takes on a whole new meaning when you consider she was actually with the eliminated competitors. (23:35)

Izzy in a nutshell:
Izzy: "...but what do i know"
Jeff: "A lot...apparently"
Cheese
The Total Trauma fancomic brings up an interesting backstory for Izzy: she was "raised by wolves" but that was a metaphor for her being raised by a pageant mom. She spent her childhood being forced into contests and beauty pageants, and it "drove her insane" (read: destroyed her mental health).
I think that backstory could support this theory--if she's grown up competing in pageants and having to put on a show, to be an entertainer and interesting, that could explain how she's so good at manipulating people on the show. She seems omniscient, but really if she's spent her life being a showpig, she would know exactly how to keep her place on Total Drama Island.
Leshawna was voted off the way she was because her voice actress had personal issues and had to leave production immediately, which is why she doesn’t even have any lines in her elimination episode. She was original set to win the first season.
Why'd she quit?
I'm pretty sure they wrote the whole series before voice acting it to avoid cases like this, I don't think your theory was ever confirmed
Not true because that's not how cartoon development works, and voice lines are recorded first. Also Leshawna was always meant to be eliminated 5th but Gwen was supposed to betray her at the hands of Heather.
yeah this comment is a lie lol
@@sevenoxia7199no I believe it. That’s why she didn’t say anything during her elimination. Her voice actor wasn’t present.
18:04 fun fact! There's actually a term for this in psychology, it's called "Mirroring". It's when you start copying other people's mannerisms, body language, speech, and even facial expressions. Most of the time people don't even realize they're doing it and it's actually a sign that someone liked you and tusts you. Not to say that this is what Izzy is doing or anything, I just have a lot of useless information.
Its a fun fact that I'm glad to know even though it's useless, so thanks

Autistic’s also use it
Speaking from experience
@steventeasdale7865 most gifted people have autism or adhd or some type of mental disorder/ difference
Is it bad I do that......?
Izzy’s second elimination in Action actually is explained. The hair flip line implies he got control of Beth and Lindsay again before they voted
Or did the producers tell Justin to say that as Lindsay and Beth don't really obsessive him as much as before after Izzy's elimination.
The way he talks it sounds more like he just assumed it worked rather than being certain.
I'm 8 months late but I don't buy this at all. Beth being fooled by it, sure, Lindsay? I'm not so sure, plus these two never seem to obsess over Justin after Episode 9 or 10, add on to that with how Justin very well could've been eliminated in Episode 9, I have no reason to believe Justin manipulated the two again. Also Izzy is clearly just moving the challenges along after she returns, in Episode 8 the only reason the challenge begins or is solved is because of Izzy, yet Izzy doesn't win immunity or the reward, the Gaffers do. In Episode 9, Izzy should theoretically know that the scares are fake because... Izzy loves scary movies, but yet she gets scared, and in Episode 10, Izzy could very well read the number combination on the paper not, but she doesn't, and this causes more drama for the show. This mole theory makes way too much sense in my opinion because I just don't see the votes in Episode 11 going to Izzy naturally (through Justin's "manipulation").
This never gets old this might be my favorite video on RUclips. this is something i would watch as a kid over and over again.
This man.
He GETS me.
Thank you for doing this, and may you find the success you, quite frankly, deserve - I was expecting an annoying thing to watch while eating dinner, but here I am, almost 2 hours later, genuinely satisfied with your work.
Godspeed, you magnificent bastard, Godspeed…
I always thought Izzy reminded chef of someone he used to know. The “oh no not again” line seems a lot darker in the context too…
But you didn't have to cut me off
make out like it never happened and that we were nothing
And I don't even need your love
I thought this too 😂
now you're just somebody that I used to know
I noticed you didn’t mention Izzy’s official bio, which reads:
Name: Izzy
Likes: Burning Things.
Dislikes: Being rejected by guys that she is stalking.
Known for: Howling at the full moon.
Why TDI?: Willing to do whatever it takes to win, even camp out on the producer's doorstep.
Izzy has been described by those who know her as a "wingnut," a "psycho hosebeast," and "some kind of crazy." For as long as she can remember, she's been a big fan of "the witching hour." Her parents once awoke at midnight to find year year old Izzy shaking the bars of her crib and howling at the full moon. They soothed her back to sleep with her favourite lullabies - horror movie soundtracks; the only music that relaxes her. Being around Izzy is like being on a roller coaster - one that hasn't been inspected for safety. Some of her favorite pastimes include impersonating her parents friends, burning things and making up stuff that scares the crap out of people. There's no rhyme or reason to what Izzy does. For instance, a guy from her school remembers when Izzy stalked him for a whole week because she had a major crush on him. He also remembers how a week later she changed her mind and threw him in a sewer. When Izzy heard about the Total Drama Island auditions, she camped outside a producer's front door for three weeks until he agreed to cast her on the show. She now has a restraining order against her and she can't come within two miles of his house. Izzy is willing to do whatever it takes to survive eight weeks of camp and is definitely one to watch. She'll definitely make the highlight reel!
How does this affect the theory?
The horror movie soundtracks thing genuinely made me laugh
I'm not sure? It just kinda means she has weird hobbies and is 100% willing to be kinda "crazy" if it helps her chances as she's "willing to do whatever it takes to survive eight weeks of camp"
Obviously Izzy’s got a great cover story there 😂
This absolutely tanks the theory. It already felt fairly flimsy... Thanks for sharing.
@@AzuriteCoast yeah I think it’s likely that Izzy is more manipulative and intelligent than she lets on, but that she’s also genuinely crazy, or at least extremely eccentric

@@ShortKingofKings Which implies that she was telling the truth when it comes to the hints that she may have formerly been in the army.

JUST wanted to point out that in the aftermath where Owen wins instead of Gwen and they are all hanging around the resort. There is a shot of him and her in the background; where she is CLEARLY doing the dance of the rattlesnake (which if you remember hypnotized Owen in one of the earlier episodes) maybe she was trying to hypnotize him into giving her some of the winnings 🤔🤔🤔
Love this theory btw!!
Izzy was already my favorite Total Drama character and this just cemented that place further. Owen was a close second

I originally liked her but didn't pay much attention to her, but now that I heard this theory and CAN'T look at her the same, I like her a lot more because it's such an interesting thing to think about!
This is my favorite example of "jokes for the sake of cartoonish comedy meaning very crazy and deep things in cannon"
Izzy is the definition of "Never let them know your next move"
Something I've always had a problem with being a big Owen fan, the campfire story he tells, he says they shot the bear. He had a gun. He's now in the woods without a gun. Of course he'd be scared. He's the missing the most important thing that saved his life. I rest my case.
Even as a kid I thought that was unfair 💀 like are they really expecting him to take it on with his bare (hehe) hands?!
I’d still be scared if I DID have a gun.
Bears are scary.
even with a gun, that’s still a very difficult feat that would require the bear not having any awareness of his presence, which in canon to his farting, is impossible
@@hotjuices2Well it's improbable but not possible that he got a lucky shot to it's head
I mean yea but Owen made that story up….
I loved the fact season three ended with Chris getting arrested only for him to lose his mind being locked away before he got the go ahead for season four. Thats stuffe wild and i love it 😂😂
I don’t know why but I keep coming back to this video. I never really watched this series that much but for some reason I keep wanting to finish this analysis. He does a really good job on explaining everything.
Izzy's "character" choice was genius, assuming she was familiar with Chris's shows before and that she knows what he likes, she was sure that picking an unstable character who is not afraid to create/participate in crazy dangerous shenanigans would for sure give her a spot on the show. Also, the "crazy" persona gives her a chance to manipulate the game and the people around her by doing absurd but calculated things and STILL fly under the radar.
@@gigabeta1182 She's not smart, and f thats what you call smart, well youre just completely braindead like the characters on that show ,shes is stupid and just a snake that knows how to trick Normies that trust others. her bs wouldnt work on me, since I dont trust ANYONE nor like humans
@@gigabeta1182 what did they say
1:12:59 heather canonically got extensions in world tour so her natural hair was probably like a long pixie cut
I feel like Heather would have looked cute with a pixie cut. We were robbed
Yeah, he for sure missed that detail. Most likely, Action and World Tour are only a few months apart. The main contradiction in the timeline is ironically Izzy who was able to act in at least 4 completed movie productions between the seasons which should theoretically take at least a year to make.

Ok so get this… Lashana was originally supposed to be the winner of the show… and so I think it makes total sense that Izzy targeted her/saw her as a threat
But how would Izzy know that
@@LorenZo-ix7lpshe wouldnt know, but this guy said in the vid that she could tell leshawna was a strong player so izzy wouldve noticed

Man, this really takes me back. I haven't watched Total Drama in years, but I was about the same age as the contestants when it first aired and was a big fan. I also have a long-abandoned fanfiction season floating around the internet somewhere. Thank you for this.

It makes sense after the Justin confession. He’s explaining that Beth and Lyndsey were immune to his charm until he found the hair flip move. There for getting his mojo back, and there for convincing Beth & Lyndsey to vote Izzy out, “shaking things up a bit”. If Justin hadn’t discovered that new hair flip move, Beth and Lyndsey would’ve have continued to vote him out. Izzy didn’t plan on Justin getting his convincing “powers/mojo” back
Yeah, I thought the same while watching
Izzy’s actions in the episode also fit within the theory. We could interpret her scene with Justin where she says she doesn’t “think he’s so cute” is her grabbing the opportunity to break down his self esteem and reduce his influence over Beth and Lindsay but, unfortunately for her, it backfires and has the opposite effect where Justin instead gets creative and figures out new ways to assert his influence, i.e. coming up with that hair flip maneuver.
I had just commented the same thing before seeing this
its not Lyndsey its Lindsay*
I always thought Izzy was just a comedic relief filler type character but watching this changed everything.
Me when I finished Better Call Saul
It is interesting that izzy has switched teams twice and nobody had sadi anything
Sadie and Katie kinda had 2 audition tapes cause they both were in each other’s auditions
Personally I feel like Izzy is both crazy AND a genius as there is a saying “all geniuses are crazy” or something like that she’s probably had a few screw loose but is still very intelligent
If she kept up the crazy act this long she is still fuckin crazy as hell no matter what
Just not the type of crazy she convinces people she is.
More like genuinely terrifyingly psychotic
We can't all be sane.
all geniuses have mental differences from average people so showing how crazy she is she must be very very smart

I think the saying is you don’t have to be crazy to be a genius but it really helps
"Hooking up" used to mean "getting together with" as in _dating_ someone, btw. Actually, "hooking up" means different things depending on the context. I have a feeling that if the FCC asked, the show's producers would say that in _this_ case, they meant "dating."
Honestly the phrase “hooking up” became very confusing since shows used it and then the jersey shore definition came up
I think the definition can be different in different places. Pretty sure it's different between the US and the UK so makes sense that Canada might have it slightly different too
@@VCG46 Yup, growing up in Canada in the 2000's, "Hooking up" kinda just meant making out or hanging out romantically
