My Opinions on Every Total Drama Couple/Ship: Edition #2

Scott and Dawn (Ship)

  There is a really good reason as to why I delayed talking about this ship for some time.  It wasn't because I hated the ship entirely, or I couldn't use the right words to describe why I loved it so much.  The reason was simply I didn't know what to think of it.  I kept going back and forth on whether or not I could support or diss this ship.  On one hand, I didn't like the ship because I supported Scott being with Courtney more and thought the relationship didn't make any sense.  On the other hand, I saw the vast amount of support this ship was receiving and couldn't help but think the fans were maybe on to something.  It was this back and forth motion for a long time, until I recently saw something that made up my mind entirely.  It was the third episode of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, where Dawn and Scott were both featured characters.  In that episode, I noticed Dawn seemed to have a secret attraction to Scott at the time, which was confirmed when she seemed to blush over his ability to be able to talk to insects like her.  Those scenes finally helped me make up my mind on my position towards this ship, which is to support it.

  There is no doubt in my mind that Dawn definitely at one time loved Scott.  She seemed to fall in love with him over his kind of sad past, which she found out through reading his aura.  Dawn discovered that Scott's father never really paid any attention to him, which could have made Scott feel unloved and feel he had to do everything only for himself.  Dawn naturally felt bad for him and wanted to help him feel loved through a friendship towards her.  Through this, Dawn discovered Scott had a few things in common with her, such as the beetle whispering I mentioned earlier.  These similar personality traits made Dawn fall madly in love with Scott, ignoring the negative aspects of his personality.  I definitely can say I would've probably done the same in Dawn's position, as I try to find the more positive parts of a person's personality in real life myself.  I can't help but want Dawn to succeed and win Scott over somehow, with these similar emotions in mind.  It makes me ship these two pretty hard, to the point where I consider myself a certified Dott fan, (someone who ships these two characters together). 

  However, Scott clearly doesn't like Dawn back.  He found her a little too quirky for his taste, and preferred someone who likes to take authority like him.  This made me so angry when he caused Dawn's elimination, not only breaking the poor girl's heart into two, but making the chances of these two characters getting together very slim.  If he had only seen that Dawn understood his personality better than anyone, they could've ended up together as one of the best Total Drama couples.  As much as I like Scott with Courtney a little bit better, I can't help but want Scott to be with Dawn.  I guess this ship is just a guilty pleasure of mine that is never truly going to go away, no matter how much logic stops it from coming true.  It is just like me shipping Cody with Gwen.  I badly want it to happen, but I know it is next to impossible.

  Rating:  8/10  (I just wish things could have been different between Scott and Dawn so they could have ended up together.)
