===Criticism and controversies===

[[JoanStar]], a notable member of the OSC, had criticized ''TPOT''<nowiki/>'s format as when fans criticized the show's plot or animation itself. According to her, the crew members visibly see the criticism and have the show getting worse.<ref>[[JoanStar]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=2TL-OqOfLhQ The Real Problem with TPOT (It's not what you think)]</ref> ''TPOT'' is also criticized for violating the "Show Don't Tell" rule in animation or comics, because of the extensive dialogue before a moment is about to happen.

Some people pointed the lack of the comedy making them laugh. Comparing to the first season, it was funny throughout the sequence of events, but now it has been told to literally just being on adventure and drama than comedy. People also miss the past of ''BFDI'' as evident in a remix of the [[Cake at Stake]] [[Cake at Stake theme|song]] even though nothing lasts forever.

==== Voting rigging (allegations)====

There have been attempts to make the fanbase believe that the voting numbers were rigged by the crew members of the show in order to continue their plans for the season or sometimes it was individuals who rigged the votes. One infamous example and the first one was the [[Derpy Hooves incident]], where, in honor of the ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'' character of the same name, Adam Katz rigged the votes with the male fans of the show.

Sometime after the release of "[[Who Stole Donut's Diary?]]", false screenshots of [[Satomi Hinatsu]] admitting that he manipulated the votes and that it was indeed Flower supposed to be eliminated. This would start false accusations of bias over Flower. When [[Gelatin]] and Flower were up for victory during the end of "[[SOS (Save Our Show)]]", the results were shown to the public in "[[Chapter Complete]]" where the voters made Flower win the season. This resulted in some debating that the voting was rigged with more than 20,000 votes than Gelatin. This was largely (in actuality) because the date limit for the votes was changed for [[February 22]] instead of [[February 14]] to reach a 100,000 vote mark to make a sixth season.<ref>[[jacknjellify]]: [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pMVlEn3DBpM Unboxing 3 Silver Play Buttons (and a BFB 30 announcement!)]</ref> Yet, they failed.

==== "Voting wars" ====
[[Voting war|This]] is the term used for incidents that vote differences are too close to one another to each contestant, gaining similar vote counts being too close to call them. The most notable example was in "Who Stole Donut's Diary?", where Flower and [[Taco]]. The earliest traces of vote wars came as far as "[[Don't Pierce My Flesh]]" from the first season where [[Rocky]] was eliminated with seven more votes than Flower. This only continued in ''Battle for BFB'' due to the switch from vote to eliminate to vote to save. The trend continued until "[[Oneirophobe's Nightmare]]" switched the voting from the comment section to Google Forms.

An infamous voting war was the infamous [[Just Not]] in the aftermath of "[[Outbreak At Steak]]" where they got an intense voting period with thousands of votes spent to put [[Bomby]] out of the top votes, which stood out to [[Pillow]] which she was a literal sociopath to literally make her [[Teams|team]] lose as she believed to completely wipe Just Not.<ref>''Battle for Dream Island'': ''[[Battle for Dream Island#Season five (BFDI:TPOT)|Battle for Dream Island: The Power of Two]]'': "[[Outbreak At Steak]]"</ref>

====Wikipedia page creation attempts====
It is known that there have been hijackings of pre-existing Wikipedia articles that had their names relating to ''Battle for Dream Island'' or attempts at creating pages for the series or contents relating to it, including the term object show itself. The first documented example was from [[December 5]], 2010. The reason why most can't be accepted is because this is against the article creation guidelines for the encyclopedia.

Most of the time, articles will be accepted by the amounts of references and sources by either books or news articles through a draft so that article will be created. If there are few sources to that one topic, it will be poorly-documented on Wikipedia. But if it has a lot of sources, it will be very well documented. ''BFDI'' and the OSC in general is very poorly documented outside from YouTube and Discord. Since most users don't recognize this fact, most will try to change or add stuff relating to ''Battle for Dream Island'' and they get reverted to avoid excessive vandalism. Wikipedia administrators had since made an official response to the situation through an essay.<ref>[[Object Show Wiki:External references|External]]: [[wikipedia:Wikipedia:Why_is_BFDI_not_on_Wikipedia?|Wikipedia:Why is BFDI not on Wikipedia?]]</ref>
