#td rewatch

I forgot how cute Duncan and Courtney were in TDI. I really get that ship there it is definitely my favorite from that season.

Also I love season 1 Courtney she is so great, her leaving Duncan to get the million 10 out 10, hilarious. In Trent’s aftermath when she says she’s team Gwen because Trent is a loser... by choice, is iconic, I love her so much.

And Heather love that bitch, even though she like literally the worst in TDI and I don’t think I ever realized how much of a better person she is in TDWT then TDI until I rewatched and I really appreciate TDWT Heather alot more now. Also Harold just keeps trying to be friends with Heather and she just keeps shutting him down and I’m just so annoyed cause he’s the only one was even kinda likes her.

I still love Gwen, she’s still probably my favorite character, but like she kinda sucks at communication but teens so i guess it’s fine. And as much as I love Gwuncan, I think Gwen is better in the game when she’s not in a relationship.

So I’m talk about Gwen and Trent now cause I just don’t get them, like there kinda cute in season 1 but like the only thing I really remember is him supporting her in the last challenge and that was cute. But Gwen is pissed at him most of the time in season 1 like she’s very hot and cold with him. And like theyre awful in TDA. Trent is way too jealous of Gwen’s friendship with Duncan even though she tells him they’re just friends multiple times. And he’s so insecure and starts doing weird shit like throwing challenges and the brand thing plus when he trys to make her jealous with Lindsay. It really makes me dislike Trent as a character and I never really cared about him TDI at all. I also don’t get Trent blaming Duncan for their break up, like Duncan was fucking around he made a guess about the 9 thing and that wasn’t even why she dumped him. I also don’t feel bad about Trent getting voted off, he deserved it, he was throwing challenges. And I really don’t like the way the aftermath specifically paints Gwen negatively for dumping him and him getting voted off. 1) cause I’m with Geoff he was going to get voted off anyway- he was throwing challenges and his team knew. 2)She was allowed to dump him, he was creeping her out and like it’s very fair for her to choose to break up with him instead of try and work it out. Especially because she is a teenager and its really healthy to know that you can and should end things if you are feeling uncomfortable and starting to feel unsafe in a relationship. And he was being obsessive enough that is pretty likely that she wasn’t feeling super safe there.

The first three seasons aren't entirely relevant because Gimple wasn't the showrunner back then. And that's not to say that there aren't TD clues in them. There are places where it's obvious he went back to earlier seasons and built on what was already there. But the point is that there won't be tons in those first three seasons. At least, not nearly as much as in S4-S7.

So. Basically, starting next week, we're going to watch the first three seasons very quickly. We'll take 4 weeks to rewatch all three seasons. That's 35 episodes (S1 = 6, S2=13, S3=16) in 4 weeks. 

I know that's super-fast. But remember that there won't be tons in these episodes. I will probably only do 1 (possibly 2) posts for each season high lighting what little TD evidence there is in each. You can break these seasons up however you want if you're following along. (I will basically try to watch 2 episodes/day during the week, as the weekend currently isn't a good time for me to count on episode watching time. Of course everyone's schedule will be different, so if you want to re-watch with us, work them in wherever you can.) 

Just keep in mind that if you can't keep up with S1-3, you won't be missing tons from a TD perspective. And what there is, I'll post about. Also, most of us have seen all the episodes before, so if you miss an episode, no big deal. Make it up later or just skip it and go to the next. Whatever suits you best.

I will probably post about S1 at the end of week 1, S2 at the end of the second or 3rd week, depending on how quickly I watch it, and then S3 at the end of the 4 weeks.

The reason I want to do it this way is that it will then give us time to go a little more slowly with S4-S7.

That said, we'll still have 64 episodes to watch in 21 weeks. (4 seasons with 16 episodes each.) That's roughly 3 episodes per week. And while that's intensive, I think it's much more doable than 4-5 episodes per week, which is what we would have to do if we gave all 7 seasons equal time.

So here's a tentative schedule. It may change as time goes on, but I'll stick to it as closely as possible:

My posts will go up the week AFTER we watch the episodes, so if we can stick to this, it should give us time to finish and do any and all posts before the S8 premiere airs. It's usually the 2nd or 3rd week in October.

Just to repeat, I already have re-watch posts for S4-S6. I’ll probably just repost those and add/update anything new I’ve seen after seeing S7.
