other Total Drama Seasons or just other shows in general now for a bit of background context Total Drama Island is a reality TV show that takes place on an island in Muskoka Ontario Canada called camp wawanoqua where 22 teenagers grouped in teams of two get a chance to win 100 000 by competing through various dangerous embarrassing or gross challenges without the end of each episode a losing team having to vote off who they believe to be the weakest link and the person with the most votes gets kicked out of the competition and can no longer win the cash prize all of this was thought up by the show's host TV personality Chris McLean who had previous works in the industry like starring in a film about Badminton was in a boy band called Fame town and park took in a figure skating show now with Total Drama Island Chris has complete creative freedom being the writer director and of course main host now for the episode contents themselves the first episode dubbed not so happy campers part 1 works as the introduction to the giant cast of characters before everyone actually competes in their first challenge in order we first meet Beth then DJ Gwen Jeff Lindsay Heather Duncan Tyler Harold Trent Bridget Noah Lashana Katie and Sadie Ezekiel Cody Eva Owen Courtney Justin and Izzy all of these characters having very distinct personality traits slash stereotypes about them some more extreme than others betsa nerd wannabe DJ is a very strong and athletic guy but is easily frightened and loves to befriend animals Gwen is a goth but still pretty normal when interacting with others Jeff is a party animal Lindsay is a dumb blonde Heather is the bossy mean girl slash main antagonist for the season dunk into trouble making delinquent that eventually develops a bit of a soft side Kyler claims to be a jock but has almost no hand-eye coordination Harold is more or less Napoleon Dynamite in cartoon form Trends the classic cool guy who loves to play the guitar Bridget's a relatively normal girl who enjoys surfing more than anything Noah fitting to his name is a sarcastic know-it-all Lashana is normal but isn't afraid to get loud and excited when happy or pick fights with those who try to cross her and though she likes Katie and Sadie are two best friends who dress exactly the same and have slightly more intelligence than Lindsay Ezekiel is a homeschooled country boy with some pretty outdated World Views Cody is a bit of a geek who thinks he's a ladies man but fails in almost all of his efforts Eva is a hot tempered muscle woman who doesn't get along well with others Owens a super friendly guy with a larger than life appetite an appetite that usually gets him into trouble Courtney is relatively normal but extremely uptight and always follows the rules Justin's a male model who rarely speaks yet is apparently so pretty that even the Island's Wildlife fall for him that of course Izzy she can be normal at times but is usually a magnet for chaos after everyone arrives Chris divides the group into the teams of these screaming gophers and Killer Bass Beth Cody Gwen Heather Justin Katie Lashana Lindsay Noah Owen and Trent are on the screaming Gophers with the remaining 11 campers being on the bass this decision briefly leaves the best friend Duo of Katie and Sadie depressed because they aren't on the same team soon after everyone gets a tour of the general Island seeing the cabins they'll sleep in and the mess hall where their meals will be prepared by Chef Hatchet an ex-military hard ass who acts as Chris's second in command in many episodes now comes the time for the first challenge which DJ isn't too scared of since it's the very first one only for him to find out he and everyone else will have to jump off a 1 000 foot cliff and land in a very specific safe Zone to advance further onto not so happy campers part 2. everyone is justifiably afraid to jump off the cliff though most of the contestants just do it the few exceptions being Beth DJ and Courtney Izzy and Katie also swap teams so Sadie and Katie can be together on the bass by the way at one point both teams are tied and it comes down to Owen Landing safe which he's able to do when gain an advantage for his team in the second part of the challenge building a hot tub set Advantage is allowing the Gopher team to carry the hot tub Parts back to camp and pull carts while the bass team has to drag everything there by hand to not much surprise the Gopher team was able to build a more successful hot tub and win the challenge the bass initially think either Courtney or DJ should be voted off due to being the only ones who refuse to do the cliff jump however after ezekiel's misogynist that comments toward his female teammates they quickly turned on him leading to him going home that same night the big sleep starts off with Chris getting all the campers purposely tired for a long run into a breakfast to make it harder for them to stay awake in the big sleep challenge where whoever stays awake the longest wins it for their team Gwen and Trent quickly become to bond with one another during this challenge while they try to stay awake Owen went on a sleepwalking journey and Heather was able to form an alliance with Lindsay and Beth from manipulation and then stole Eva's MP3 player as I cunning strategy to get a strong player eliminated through her quick temper the challenge lasts for over two full days with Duncan and Gwen being the last two standing at one point however Gwen ends up taking the win After Duncan falls asleep on the toilet during a bathroom break the bass lose again and decide on getting rid of Eva due to how hard she freaked out when she couldn't find her MP3 player Dodge brawl opens with the campers eating at the mess hall still very tired from the previous challenge here we learned the campers will be competing in a dodgeball tournament for elimination Noah offers to sit out for pretty much the entire game on the Gopher side since they had an extra player and at first this seemed to be the most ideal decision because the Gophers seem to be dominating for a bit mainly thanks to the power of Owen's throws and the unorthodox strong style of Cody Tyler tries to lead the bass to Victory but his even more unorthodox player Style just made things worse for his team at least because he was so awful he got to spend more time with Lindsay during their time outside the court the basket desperate and decide to put these still sleepy Duncan in a leadership role dude is intense yet tactical nature after some convincing he agrees and uses a strategy where all the players on the court would single out one specific person on the Gophers and hurl all the balls at them in unison this strategy put the bass on equal footing with the Gophers but the game eventually comes down to a one-on-one between Harold and Owen one of the strongest versus one of the weakest luckily Harold is able to dodge all the bones throws thanks to his figure skating skills eventually catching the final ball on Bros and getting the best of their first win of the season the Gophers were mostly displeased with Noah due to his lack of participation and attitude towards the challenge so he was quickly voted off later that night not quite so famous begins with the campers gathering at the Island's main stage where Gwen and Trent Florida been same with Lindsay and Tyler Chris then tells everyone the next challenge is a talent show and each of them have eight hours to choose their three most talented teammates to perform the Gophers choose Trent Heather and Justin while the bass choose DJ Courtney and Jeff when the time comes for the show Bridget shows her team how long she can stand on her hands however her legs end up getting caught on a spotlight cord which falls and destroys Courtney's Violet forcing Bridget to take her spot in the show meanwhile Cody tries to flirt with Gwen fails miserably and gets quickly upstaged by Trent where the two share another touching moment with each other at the dock of Shame with Gwen now gone Heather hatches a plan to steal Gwen's diary because she'd gotten sick of Gwen's attitude towards her leadership when the show starts Justin opens with his Zoolander style opposing act that earns him quite a bit of Praise DJ's ribbon routine quickly falls short while Trent's song becomes the best act so far Bridget's handstandack also flops when she pukes all over the stage and on some of the other campers mid performance followed by Heather reading a passage of Gwen's diary about Trent than not only all the campers but to the in-universe viewing audience at home and she literally decides to do this instead of doing her ballerina routine though Trent wasn't actually name dropped it's still super messed up with the Gopher still in the lead after all that things seem to be getting worse for the bass when Jeff accidentally breaks his skateboard backstage forcing the team to put Harold out there where he proceeds to lay down some of the best beatboxing I've ever heard clutching the win for his team a second time in a row oh yeah surprisingly Heather was safe from elimination and convinced enough of her team to vote up Justin instead ending his chances at the big prize and as a way for Gwen to get revenge on Heather she dumps Harold's red ant farm into her bed the sucky Outdoors says the team's trying to survive out in the woods for a night and making it back to Camp the next morning with the first team back as the winners on the way in Trent tries to comfort Gwen about the diary thing but she's still too depressed about it yet Heather tries to make herself out to be the victim due to getting the ant support on her so she wants Gwen gone as soon as possible on the Killer Bass side of things best friends Katie and Sadie get separated from their team after getting distracted by a blueberry bush as they try to find their team they begin to lose patience with one another hurling insults and each declaring they don't want to be friends anymore once the challenge ends as for the Gophers Owen takes charge in gathering the food and finds some nice fish and DJ ends up finding a pet bunny and Duncan is the first to realize Katie and Sadie are gone is still mad at one another the two struggle to stay sane after encountering bats in a cave the Gophers are still settling in for the night when Owen tells everyone a story about how he and his grandpa kill a Bear Once oddly enough an actual Bear shows up right after the storm ends but it turned out to just be Izzy and a bear costume to mess with everyone meanwhile Duncan tells everyone a scary story about a serial killer named the Bloody hook scaring everyone even more when he pretends to have a hook hand himself at the end of the story [Laughter] Courtney calls him out on his behavior but quickly jumps into his arms out of fear when the Wilderness starts making noise much to Duncan's pleasure as the best try to knock out for the night Bridget leaves to go to the bathroom but a bat flies into her face causing her to accidentally knock an ember in from their campfire onto their tent destroying their shelter for the night and to make matters worse it starts to rain the Gopher team tries to take it easy again after Izzy's reveal only for an actual bear to show up for real this time forcing the entire team to spend the night in a large tree to keep their distance from this bear the next morning both teams make a Mad Dash back to Camp with the bass getting there first however Katie and Sadie were not with them so the win didn't count the two friends do eventually return to camp and reconcile with one another but their team is not pleased with them because they're the reason they lost leading to Katie in particular getting voted off the island and resulting in a very sad goodbye between the two friends phobia Factor takes place to just minutes after Katie's elimination with Sadie still crying her eyes out Bridget tries to comfort her by bringing her back to the campfire with the other bass members and the Gophers show up too with a green gelatin dessert with a gummy worm inside to you know say sorry which both Courtney and DJ have a distaste for leading into everyone confessing what they fear most in the world Tyler's afraid of chickens Owen and Izzy are afraid of flying and Duncan has a phobia of Celine Dion music store standees just as some examples that looks really real man dude she's made of board get in the game and because Chris watching them at all times he decides to make the next morning's challenge one where each camper has to face their worst fear characters like Lindsay Sadie Owen Izzy and Beth are able to conquer their fears While others like Lashana Cody Tyler and Jeff aren't as lucky a bit of a wedge is created between Gwen and Trent's relationship too when Trent fails to keep going company while she's buried underneath the beach this happening because Trent was being chased by a scary mime both of them earned points for their team but Gwen is not too happy with trend for a bit the best warning the challenge comes to either Courtney fishing or green jelly fair or Tyler facing his chicken fear but she's too scared to jump in and he's too scared to last in the chicken pen but it more so came down to Courtney because her challenge was worth more points however in a shocking turn of events Tyler is the one voted off leaving the dock of shame in tears and riding back home in a boat filled with chickens up The Creeks follows the campers and taking canoes to a nearby island called bony Island where they'll have to make the biggest bonfire they can then race back to Camp to win also nobody is allowed to take anything from Bonnie island or they would be cursed forever everyone hears these directions except Beth who was in the bathroom at the time Cody it's lucky for once and earns a spot with Gwen and a canoe much to her disappointment while Trent ends up with Lindsay and Beth Jeff also fails in trying to get Bridget to be his partner this being because of the horrible cheesy love note he sent her even DJ couldn't believe how bad it was on their way there Cody continues to make moves on Gwen but eventually takes the L because he realizes how into trench he is so he does the admirable thing and says he'll put in a good word for her to Trent because he does genuinely want Gwen to be happy when the campers arrive on the island they're chased by giant woolly beavers and geese for a while where Trent and Lindsay get stuck in quicksand and Jeff injures his leg thankfully both parties were able to pull it together for the most part as for the fire challenge the bass are in the lead for a bit thanks to Duncan using a lighter so the Gophers have to do with the old-fashioned way for a bit and while looking for wood Beth finds an artifact on the island that she decides to keep meanwhile Cody puts in the good word for Gwen to Trent which Trent respects and admires greatly as for the bass Harold gets impatient with the size of the fire and decides to throw in the team's canoe paddles to make the fire bigger which gets everyone very upset at him and this ended up being all for naught too because Izzy made a fire starter out of tree sap that easily won the Gophers this portion of the challenge he also says she had a similar experience like this when she trained in the reserves and blew up a kitchen with the RCMP still looking for her as the Gophers make their way back to Camp the best struggle to figure out how they're going to get back with no paddles luckily big DJ steps up to the plate and uses immense strength to push paddle all the canoes and his teammates back to Camp without losing any energy earning The Bash to the win later at the elimination ceremony it comes down to Izzy and Lindsay as the loser but before a decision is made the RCMP shows up and chases Izzy off the island effectively removing her from the show paintball Deer Hunter opens with Heather bossing around Lindsay and Beth to heat up the shower for her which causes a giant line for the girl's bathroom because of how long Heather takes soon after Chris summons everyone through the loudspeaker and announces the next challenge a paintball hunt with some contestants on each team being hunters and others playing the role of deer Harold Jeff and Bridget are the hunters for the bass while Owen Lashana Beth and Lindsay hunt for the Gophers leaving the remaining campers as deer DJ in particular takes his role as a dare a little too seriously and same goes for Owen in this Hunter role very fitting for these two to be dealing with each other through most of this episode and given the context Heather's ego was inflated to the max here when she forces Lindsay and Beth to protect her all game instead of hunting for the basket even having Beth leave the woods and steal trips from chef hatchet's kitchen plus when Beth returns with these chips Heather doesn't like the flavor Beth got and wants her to go back leading Beth to her breaking point and standing up to Heather once and for all using Heather's least favorite word the n word at one point Cody encounters a bear and is attacked because it thinks he's actually a deer the entire challenge ended up being a total mess with tons of Friendly Fire between the Gophers in particular resulting in the bass team winning and Cody getting eliminated because a lot of people just didn't really find him useful in challenges Cody also found out Beth had taken something from Buddy Island as he was wheeled out to the dock likely believing it was partially Beth's fault he got attacked because of the Bony Island curse if you can't take it the heat opens with Duncan waking up in the morning doing some push-ups only to find Harold's dirty underwear on the floor repulsed by this he scolds Harold about not picking up after himself Harold claims the underwear isn't even his so Duncan hatches a plan with DJ and Jeff to help teach Harold a lesson later at the mess hall Chris tells everyone the challenge today is to cook a three-course meal for him to eat whichever food tastes the best overall wins Heather of course wants to take charge which goes as well as you'd expect Owen ends up getting attacked by bees and Trent is knocked out so her teammates end up locking her in the freezer to get away from her as for the bath side they do surprisingly well even when the other guys screwing with Harold the entire time forcing him to put on a pair of under underwear with hot sauce inside wears pajamas in the kitchen and eat a sandwich with his underwear in it when both teams finish their meals Owen can't help himself and eats the entire prime rib given the bass and almost free win and Beth outing herself about taking something from Bonnie Island when she used said artifact as a decoration for the meals so although Owen probably deserved to go home the most for this challenge loss Beth ended up getting the boot because everyone was convinced the reason they lost the past two challenges was because of Beth taking that thing from Bonny Island ending the episode with the bass guys messing with Harold One Last Time by carrying his bunk to the dock while he was naked forcing him to confess about the dirty laundry and agreeing to be clear who can you trust opens with everyone eating leftovers from the previous challenge in the mess hall Courtney getting into it with Duncan for a bit because he stole a cup and dunking teasing her more about liking him shortly after the teams gathered to dock where Chris tells them this challenge is all about building trust DJ and Duncan have to do a cliff climbing challenge against Gwen and Heather with one climbing with the other holding their partner in place Heather in particular uses this as an opportunity to mess with Gwen by pulling her skirt off one of the ropes even still she comes out on top on this one meanwhile Sadie and Courtney are having trouble in their apple slingshot challenge due to Sadie's horrible aim and lack of listening to directions at one point during the downtime DJs Jeff looked after his pet bunny which seems to go fine at first until the poor thing is eaten alive in a tragic yet kind of comical way Jeff has to come clean the DJ which causes DJ to lose a lot of focus for the remainder of the overall challenge that is until Courtney catches Duncan luring another rabbit back to the camp with the carrot as a way to cheer DJ up and get him focused again during the final challenge blandfolded log racing DJ is unfocused until Duncan reveals the bunny DJ thinking it's the same bunny as before gets all amped up and is able to cross the finish line first however he took the blindfold off to see the bunny during the challenge so the Gophers won on a technicality resulting in Sadie's elimination that night due to getting on Courtney's bad side at least she's finally reunited with Katie though basic straining opens with Harold getting bullied some more by Duncan and Jeff with them putting his underwear on a s'more followed by Chef Hatchet announcing over the speaker for everyone to gather at the dock of Shame at 9am sharp Chef takes the lead here as the challenge overlooker putting on a bit of a drill sergeant Persona with all the different challenges being similar activities that military personnel would go through such as holding up a canoe for several hours writing an essay and going to write grueling obstacle course all the wild Duncan is constantly testing chef and Courtney's patients getting under Chef's skin so much that he ends up getting a solitary confinement punishment in The Boathouse Courtney checks in on him where they bond a little and Duncan even convincing her to break some rules with him specifically stealing some of the good food that chef and Chris get to eat they bring all the food back to share with the rest of the campers in the cabins Courtney in particular still on a life Hive after breaking some of the rules and eating a bit too fast she gets sick for a bit and talks some more with Duncan about how much fun I had followed by the two sharing their first kiss of many DJ and Jeff hype up Duncan for this but Harold is pissed seeing how someone as mean as Duncan was able to pull someone like Courtney he was not happy with it one bit the next morning the remaining campers for the Challenger tasked with hanging upside down from a tree it comes down to Jeff and Gwen but Jeff starts getting dizzy and Falls earning the Gophers a win and the bass a trip to the limitation ceremony it comes down to Harold and Courtney and shockingly Harold ends up being safe Courtney gets booted but not before having a heartwarming goodbye with Duncan after this it's revealed Harold tampered with the votes to get Courtney voted off to get back at Duncan for all the harassment and well played Harry and well played extreme torture opens with Chris flying a plane close enough to the camp and waking everyone up announcing all the challenges today will be extreme such as sofa bed diving moose riding and Sea-Doo water skiing the winning team not only gets invincibility but access to a state-of-the-art mobile shower later on in the mess hall Chef Hatchet finds a haiku love note from a secret admirer after quickly throwing it aside Gwen and Bridget notice it and think it's for each of them from Trent or Jeff respectively this causes a brief issue in their friendship when they try to prove which of the guys wrote it Trent didn't and unfortunately didn't do well in his sofa Skydive challenge either Landing right in the sand because he never deployed his parachute meanwhile Jeff also ate it hard in the most challenge not even knowing what a haiku is the final challenge comes down to Duncan and Harold vs Lindsay and Heather Harold was doing well at first until he got distracted when Heather's top came off allowing Lindsay to easily beat Duncan by grabbing enough Flags the Gophers got to enjoy the shower and Gwen and Bridget learned through Chris that the love note they found was intended for Lashana however they still couldn't figure out who actually wrote it at the elimination ceremony for the bass Harold against the boot for losing in the flag challenge and not his way to the dock of Shame he reveals he was the one who wrote the poems to Lashana allowing the two campers to share a goodbye kiss before he leaves however Lashana was not very happy to learn Heather redstein Heather topless so the two of them get into it a bit that night the brunch of disgustingness is the episode that officially dissolves the Killer Bass and screaming Dover teams now it's a battle between the dudes and the ladies Chris has all the girls moving to the Gopher cabins while the guys move to the bass Caverns the guys were able to bond very quickly over drinks music and burps while the girls have a bit of trouble getting along Heather tries to get rigid on her side with Lindsay but Gwen and Lashana won bridgen on their side Bridget does choose the Gwen and Lashana side which causes an inevitable divide in the team it really didn't matter what shot you chose later everyone Rendezvous to the mess hall where Chris announces the brunch of disgustingness challenge everyone has to eat insanely gross meals like Bowl balls grasshopper Pizza earthworm spaghetti and more tensions do get high at points even on the guys team when Jeff gives Bridget encouragement on the ball section though the guys are able to make up extremely quick when both teams are tied towards the end it comes down to Owen and Lashana competing in a blended cockroach shot challenge with whoever is able to take the most shots wins it for their team Owen is able to win to not much surprise but everyone starts puking like crazy from all the garbage they had to eat prior with the guys taking the reward in a luxurious boat Retreat and the girls still having trouble getting along with one another no pain no game starts off with the ladies relaxing by the dock but are really interrupted by the guys returning from their Boat Trip even when Owen tries to offer them some snacks they're still super pissed that they can go themselves this is where Chris announces over the speaker that the teams are now completely dissolved and it's every camper for themselves followed by the surprising return of former contestants Eva and Izzy into the competition to spice things up a bit Eve was still as hot tempered as ever specifically targeting Bridget because she's the only girl left who is originally on the Killer Bass Izzy on the other hand is still as unhinged as ever claiming she took refuge in the forest while running from the RCMP tried but being a Wilderness Survivor I was swift-footed and avoided capture after all that settled Chris gathers everyone to endure torturous challenges for 10 seconds each whoever Kent last is up for elimination these challenges include sitting in a tub of leeches hot marshmallow facial ice cream brain freeze and getting shocked by electric eels at one point Trent tries to reconcile with Gwen about leaving her Bay Area alive which she's hesitant about at first but does start to warm up them a little bit again eventually it comes down to Eva and Lashana Eva was able to handle 10 seconds at a crate with a Yeti while Lashana needed the last 10 seconds log rolling against a log-rolling champion bear although she struggles at first she's able to clutch the win for herself allowing Eva to get eliminated quite easily because of how threatening she was to everyone else even had to get brought to the boat in the straight jacket search and do not destroy opens with Gwen and Trent hanging out by the dock Gwen in specific drawing a picture of Trent it then cuts to the stage area where Chris is in A's pirate uniform announcing the challenges at Treasure on where each camper has to find a key located in a dangerous place to open a chest for instance Owens was tied around a bear's neck Heather was in Chef's pantry and Jeff's was inside the washroom septic tank after Trent gets his key he offers to help Gwen get hers out of a skunk Nest they decide to flush them out using water which works so Gwen thanks Trent with a kiss which Heather sees from a distance threatened by the fact that they'll be able to form a couple's Alliance Heather devises a scheme to get them on each other's bad side this being Heather tricking Trent into thinking Gwen can't stand him followed by her kissing him too something that Gwen unfortunately sees Gwen ends up going back to the cabin in tears where Lashana finds her and asks her what's up Furious over Heather's actions Lashana proceeds to tell everyone she can about what Heather did in hopes of getting her voted off that night only problem is when everyone opens their assigned Treasure Chest Heather wins an invincibility pass leaving Trent as the next default to get booted on granted the misunderstanding is resolved when everyone realizes Heather manipulated the whole situation this didn't happen until after Trump has already voted off so he still had to leave because the vote is final but not before giving Gwen as much encouragement as she needs hide and be sneaky opens with Heather being nasty to Lindsay by crying and throwing away the one drink Lindsay had been craving since she had gotten to the island which leads Lindsay to question if Heather actually values her as a friend or not a bit Gwen's still depressed about Trent but Lashana promises Gwen they'll get their revenge on Heather as soon as possible later on the dock Chris lays out the challenge of hide and seek where everyone gets 10 minutes to hide from Chef if he sprays you with water you're out but you get invincibility if you reach the doc's safe zone or find another Hider before Chef does right when the challenge begins Owen is pulled into a cave by Duncan with the rest of the guys Duncan hatches a plan to form a guy's Alliance out of fear of the girls getting too close Jeff in particular was worried about this because he still likes Bridget but agrees to the alliance anyway we get some pretty amusing Antics between Izzy and Chef here too and that little fight they had in the mess hall is still one of my favorite fight scenes in the entire series well Shawna takes a different approach with her hiding spot by hiding in the lake using a hollow plant to breathe the surface air Bridget tries to hide by the elimination area but gets spread by skunks in the process after knocking down some lights Heather was able to gain invincibility as well by helping Chef find Owen and DJ followed by Lashana getting invincibility at the end since she was so close to the doc's safe Zone the whole time with Heather immune again the guy's Alliance decide to vote on Bridget since she's the most athletic and threatening and challenges of the remaining girls who can't go Jeff hesitantly agrees again resulting in Bridget's elimination however Jeff claimed to have not voted her off because that's his girl the two share a nice goodbye but the rest of the guy's Alliance was not happy with Jeff's portrayal so as a punishment they force him to sleep outside upside down hanging in a bean bag from a tree that's off the chain open similarly to the previous episode with Lindsay having to deal with more of Heather's nastiness trying to get Lindsay to cut her dirty toenails meanwhile the guys are worried about Jeff's commitment to the alliance after they realize how depressed he is in the confessional due to Bridget's recent elimination of course but their worries start to die down a little bit after Jeff gets distracted by the smell of morning bacon Chris then calls everyone to the Arts and Craft Center to tell everyone the next challenge is to build their own bikes and race for your lives the loser of the races will go straight home with no elimination ceremony Izzy gets her bike done super quickly and has Lashana go with her for a test ride which gets so out of control their M.I.A for the remainder of the episode never even participating in any of the races everyone else gets their bikes done pretty easily but poor Lindsay is tasked with building her own bike and Heather's bike for Heathers in particular she ends up stealing an actual motorcycle engine from Chef's bike to use as an advantage in the races but in a very crisp fashion he sets up the first race in a way where everyone has to ride someone else's bike that they built and the owners of the bike in particular are the ones who make it into the next round since Gwen ended up Crossing fast enough on Owen's bike he was the one who got to advance Owen on Duncan's bike was comedy gold too the second race is even sketchier because now there's a bunch of Road traps like land mines and oil spills Heather is able to cross first with Lindsay directly behind but since Duncan and Owen both wiped out and never actually crossed the Finish Line Lindsay ends up being sent home on a technicality resulting in Lindsay and Heather having a complete Fallout Lindsay finally realizing how horrible other is and causes her out in front of everyone you really are a two-based backstabbing lying little although she couldn't win the prize she stood up for herself and got to have nice good buys with the remaining contestants except Heather of course Hook Line and screamer starts with the remaining contestants watching a scary movie at night most of these guys are enjoying it especially Duncan and Gwen but DJ is scared out of his mind screaming every time someone even mentions the movie Killer's title out loud after the movie ends the gang sees Chris and chef at the doc French typically packing their things and leaving the island without saying a word to anyone conveniently they leave behind a bag with a newspaper article highlighting how There's an actual escaped psycho killer on the loose in the area the ruse crispled up is quickly foiled by us viewers as he's shown in a secluded area on the island with a bunch of monitors showing what everyone else is up to which chef in particular playing the part of the quanticore killer Gwen decides to come up with a plan about what they need to do to survive Heather quickly ignores her to go do her skincare routine while Izzy and Owen also go off on their own into the woods sneakily as those two walk around things quickly get frisky between them and Chef is able to hear them they run away so scared that Owen doesn't even realize is about the fall of a cliff and Izzy being the intelligent person she is decides to jump off the cliff right after him to make sure he's okay but Chef quickly catches up and Owen uses Izzy as a shield to protect himself eventually reaching the area where Chris is located and notices the Killer is just Chef in Disguise although Izzy is not amused with Owen's cowardly Act of pushing her in front of Chef back there as for DJ's POV he goes to the washroom and accidentally walks in on Heather shaving her legs terrified by how she looks in her face mask he runs around the entire Island screaming until by chance reaching Chris's tent where Izzy literally slaps him back into reality shortly after DJ leaves Heather is found by chef and Brockton back to the tent with Jeff found right after that with only Duncan and Gwen remaining Duncan eventually goes off on his own as well to face Chef Mano Amano much to Gwen's annoyance after throwing some objects at Chef he's actually able to break Chef's chainsaw and get back to the tent easy peasy however things get really sketchy after everyone notices Gwen at the mess hall with another killer looking guy who isn't Chef Gwen doesn't even believe it's legitimate until the rest of the gang comes to Warner fearing for her life she kicks the guy in the face several times where he promptly leaves in a very flamboyant fashion man I am so out of here thanks to this Gwen earns invincibility but DJ ends up going home due to being the only camper who wasn't actually brought back to the tent through Chef's intimidation wawan Aqua gone wild starts with everyone walking around the camp is he still mad at Owen for using her as a human shield in the previous challenge but when he tries to apologize he gets caught in a rope Trap by his feet followed by the rest of the gang getting trapped in a cage Chris meets up with the cage campers and frees them using a knife to make almond land on the cage telling them to meet him at the mess hall once there he congratulates everyone for making it to the final seven and gives them their next challenge each camper will have to trap a specific animal with the winner getting a meal of their favorite foods and the loser having to clean the washrooms Owen gets a chipmunk Lashana gets frog Gwen gets duck Jeff gets Beaver Duncan gets raccoon Izzy gets deer and Heather gets bare which Heather is not very happy about throughout the day everyone gets into pretty funny Shenanigans trying to catch their respective animal the duck one tries to trap runs like a roadrunner from Looney Tunes while Duncan's raccoons band together to form a giant Kaiju raccoon made up of a bunch of regular-sized ones then there's Izzy who arguably got the most ideal weapon of choice to take out her Target that being the tranquilizer gun but her aim is so bad she just winds up hitting everything that just isn't a deer two fires one is the first to catch her animal across all her food be duck theme because of how much of a pain that duck was towards her as for Duncan he's able to get his raccoon trapped in attempts to form a little alliance with Heather suggesting she dress up as a dare to attract the bear problem is when she's in the woods Izzy mistakes her for an actual deer and knocks her out with a trank Dart Owen Jeff and Lashana eventually get their chipmunk beaver and frog trap too so when it came time for the eliminations Heather was still partially paralyzed and was eager to see Izzy get sent home for what she did to her Heather gets her wish and Izzy leaves in almost as flashy of a manner as she did the first time ending the night with Duncan having to do Heather's washroom punishment for her because she claimed she couldn't move still trial by Triumph Triathlon doesn't open on a shot of the island itself but rather inside a dream Owen is having about giant cheese and donut helicopters I guess this dream stemmed from the actual helicopter flying over the island Chris appears soon after telling everyone the next challenge is a Triumph Triathlon a series of three challenges where two campers will be handcuffed together and need to work as a unit to secure the victory the pairs are Owen and Heather Gwen and Jeff and Duncan Lashana with most of the screen time focused on Gwen and Jeff learning to bond despite being Polar Opposites in most aspects of their personalities Jeff usually striking up the conversation first but Gwen not really giving him anything back since she thinks he's annoying Owen and Heather easily win the first challenge because it was centered around food when it came to the next one each pair was tasked with going to bony Island on their way there Duncan on I have a bit of a heart to heart about Duncan's soft side is she knew about Duncan finding the new bunny for DJ and he revealed the reason he did this was because he lost a dog when he was younger and didn't want DJ to go through the same thing it's very sweet right there and once everyone's on Shore Chris gets there via helicopter and tells them they need to return pieces of the artifact that Beth took from body Island to some cave with the final twist being one partner having to piggyback the other the entire way through meanwhile Jeff continues to try and earn one's friendship but she calls him out thinking he's just pretending to be nice even though he's being genuine saying he'd even invite her to his parties if they went to school together but she admits she'd never been to a party thinking she's just not the partying type though Jeff reassures her it's just a mindset thing and he'd love to party with her once the show is over at this point Gwen starts to warm up to Jeff more and more and they're able to win the second part of the challenge as for the final challenge the pairs would be tasked in creating a giant totem pole made from Wooden Heads of the previously voted off campers however the poll needed to be ordered in the way the campers were eliminated meaning Ezekiel would be at the bottom and Izzy would be at the top Owen and Heather's progress is stopped short when Heather starts to bad mouth Izzy in front of Owen requesting to opt out of the challenge completely and even going off on or some more in the confessional Jeff and Gwen struggle too allowing Lashana Duncan to come out on top leaving a three-way tie between the teams so anyone could go home that night at one point during the elimination Gwen thought for sure would be her that was leaving but it was Jeff's time to go Heather was able to pull a fast one to get him booted because she feared his popularity if we were to make it even further his chances of winning would be extremely tough to counter at least he was able to leave after becoming better friends with Gwen as for the next episode oat capture the focus is shifted away from Total Drama Island and is instead on a nearby resort called Playa de losers a super nice spot where every limited camper is taken to spend their time until the day of the final challenge mostly focusing on the different takes from the eliminated contestants about their time they spent on the show their favorite moments they had and who they believe deserves to win it all characters like Cody having completely healed from injuries while Ezekiel tries to act all Hollywood even though he got booted first my personal favorite was the game of cat and mouse between Courtney and Harold she had found out Harold was the reason she got kicked off early and wanted to take it out on him he felt bad for what he had done but couldn't suppress his urge to get back at Duncan that day and once nightful all hits Chris arrives at the resort and reveals that these guys get to decide who gets kicked off the island next however due to a terrible misunderstanding that got worse by the second the losers ended up voting off Lashana just through mentioning her name regardless of the context resulting in one of if not the most unfortunate eliminations in Total Drama history even she couldn't believe it just shocked to the core all the way through Camp Castaways that the final four Swept Away to another part of the island by a severe storm while they're asleep they're so far away from the camp in fact that they think the area they're in is a totally new island when in reality it just looks super different because Chris used a bunch of props from a dinosaur movie to make them think they were somewhere else Owen in particular starts to lose his sanity quicker than the others camped out in an outhouse and befriending a coconut he named Mr coconut somehow grew a full beard in the span of a few hours too I wish I could do that or just grow an even beard period at one point Gwen and Duncan scour around for food and decide to ditch Heather to look for help one of the few times Heather felt genuine fear on the competition thus far eventually Duncan is picked up by one of the robotic prop dinosaurs in midair and Gwen gets taken two after trying to save him but they're eventually Dropped In and reunite with Heather and now Owen all while these four are going through it chef and Chris are relaxing back at the other campsite but surprisingly getting worried about the kids on the off chance a real bear could have gotten them or something as for the four campers they're forced into climbing up a nearby tree house doing a large snake about to Ambush them where Owen suggests they get to know each other a bit more Duncan reveals how he got sent to Jovi while Heather and Gwen apparently did some crazy things in the past too the specifics of these acts are never set out loud though after this Owen drops Mr coconut on the snake so they can get back down this is when the four of them go full Warrior mode with the face painted weapons ready to take down whoever threatens their lives but luckily after not much searching they reunite with Chris and Chef back at camp where Chris forces them to walk back the rest of the way even after it starts to rain again as for the eliminations none of the real contestants got booted but Owen did have to say goodbye to Mr coconut who had a one-way trip into the lake are we there yet he follows a similar challenge pattern to the previous episode where the final four are left somewhere in the woods and need to make it back to Camp Owen and Duncan has one pair and Heather and Gwen as the other first pair back wins invincibility Chef is calling the shots for this entire episode too due to Chris having to host some kind of unseen award show at the time each pair gets a bag of supplies for survival too the biggest pieces are Owen and Duncan getting a map while Heather and Gwen get a compass throughout their Journeys in the woods both pairs go out of the race to mess with one another in hopes of getting more supplies for their Arsenal however it pretty much ends with the pair is completely swapping the original items they started with Once Nightfall hits Gwen and Heather here rustling in the bushes believing it to be owner Duncan however once Gwen jumps in there she quickly realizes she's on top of Sasquatch an aqua the same Yeti Eva dealt with in her return episode though this thing seems to be more scared of Gwen than Gwen is of it a Gwen riding atop it leads it to Owen and Duncan with all four of them Running Scared for a bit after they shake their yeti off their tails the pair decides to just spend the night together since their safety and numbers Heather uses this to her advantage to snuggle up Duncan's so he'd let his guard down and by the time the boys woke up all of their stuff had been taken by the girls the girls are on a Mad Dash back to Camp with the boys wondering what to do thankfully Owen is able to smell some sticky bones that Chef had made back at the main Camp so he's able to follow that scent back without needing supplies unfortunately due to Owen getting too distracted by the sticky buns he runs past this specific area and he needed to touch to win allowing the girls to gain invincibility leaving either Owen or Duncan to go home after a bit of Zoom intention Duncan is the one who gets the Boon likely because Heather and Gwen found him more threatening than Owen now there were three I triple dog Dario has the final three of Owen Gwen Heather competing in a game of dares if you do a dare you get a freebie to opt out of another one or you can pass the Dare onto someone else where they have to do it because refusing to do a dare altogether gets you an immediate ticket to the dock of Shame as a fun twist all the dares were thought up by the previous eliminated contestants so whoever the wheel lands on after it stops is the one who thought of it there most of these dares were in the disgusting side rather than the painful or embarrassing side with a lot of the gross ones involving Owen's body not gonna lie when ate that wad of Harold's chewed gum that almost happened to gag and for the first time I'll watch this episode Owen's able to rack up a ton of freebies because gross dares just don't bother him at all leading to Gwen striking a deal with Owen that if he helps her take out Heather she'll split the winnings with him but even if she doesn't win she'll buy him a box of donuts Owen agrees and splits his freebies with one resulting in Heather getting pounded with dares left and right at her limit she's eventually hit with the most intense dare of all courtesy of Lindsay having her head shaved by Chef even as she's in the chair she still can't decide whether to go through with it or not she then kicks the razor out of Chef's hands before directly agreeing to the Dare but the razor lands on her head and shaves most of it off anyway so even though she lost her hair she still got sent to the dock of shame because she never formally accepted leaving Owen and Gwen one step closer to the grand prize the day for the final challenge was finally here Owen and Gwen are called to a part of camp with a bunch of bleachers set up congratulating them on making it to the final two Chris also welcomes back all the old campers to sit in specific bleachers one representing Kim Gwen and the other team Owen each of them tell the world what they'd want to do with their winnings Gwen says she'll still split her warnings with Owen and use the rest to travel while Owen wants to throw the biggest party he possibly can and invite everyone he met on the show this prompts some of the people who are originally on team Gwen to switch to team Owen followed by Chris announcing the final challenge the rejected Olympic Relay first standing declined to the top of a flagpole to get a flag carry an eagle egg over a 300 foot Gorge then do a long distance run to the Finish Line each finalist can have people from their team help them along the way too Owen struggles a bit to get up the pole due to how big he is so a lot of his supporters have to push him up meanwhile Gwen struggles a bit too because Heather smeared butter all over her pole Trent is of course Gwen's biggest supporter here although they shared a touch and goodbye when he was eliminated Gwen still holds some ill will towards Trent for kissing Heather so he does everything he can to help her win like cleaning the slippery pole with the shirt so Glenn can get the lead for the next part of the race when they both reach the gorge it's proving to be difficult on both ends however Heather tries to sabotage Gwen using a shirtless Justin but that plan kind of backfires when Owen gets distracted by him too it's now a Mad Dash to the finish with Gwen still in the lead he thanks Trent for the cupcake he got her but he claims to have never got her she didn't eat it either Heather did this as another way to sabotage Gwen and filled it with laxatives earlier in the day but Gwen gave it to Owen since he was so mesmerized by it the laxatives kick in and Owen is forced to take a bathroom break worried he's gonna lose is he resorts to using the smell of a brownie plate to get Owen's rearing gear this strategy works and he's able to cross the finish line before Gwen earning his spot as the first winner of Total Drama Island however TDI did have an alternate ending work 112 with the main change being owned was just a few steps short of the Finish Line when he reached the brownies leaving enough time for gwendacross first and be the winner Trent and Gwen officially start dating here too but the mark of It's Beginning different on the endings in Owen's ending it happened right after he won but in Gwen's ending it happened later that night when she got the big check the kids then end the night off celebrating some more by throwing Chris into the lake and then trying to chase after Chef to do the same but despite this episode being titled the very last episode really Total Drama Island had one final surprise in store for these 22 campers total drama drama drama drama island resumed shortly after the show's finale all 22 campers are partying it up at Playa day losers just having a grand old time this is when Chris decides to show up with a suitcase that he claims has one million dollars in it offering Owen or Gwen depending on the ending to compete for this one million dollar prize this is up for grabs for any of the other people too actually all they have to do is find wherever it's hidden on Camp Waban Aqua but the thing is if one of the finalists agrees to take in the challenge then the original 100K prize goes down the drain own being the fun lover he is decides to take the challenge and rushes off the camp the other contestants are hesitant at first because they aren't even sure if that case has a million dollars in it but after hearing Owen's excited laughter in the background the rest of them spring into action to find the million most of them splitting off into small groups that you initially wouldn't expect like Izzy Noah and Eva teaming up or Justin going off with Katie and Sadie for a while until he got tired of them that is Owens group of him DJ Tyler and Cody find the case first but have it taken away under their noses by Herald when Owen asked to take a bathroom break from this point on the case would go through several different groups but corny in particular seem to have a hold of it for a long longer time than the rest thanks to stealing a hot air balloon from one of Chris's interns eventually the fight for the case is at a standstill at the top of the area where Courtney was supposed to jump into green jelly and phobia Factor but this Tower is eventually knocked over by a wild moose with everyone in the general vicinity either falling directly into the jelly pool or being dragged around by the diving board the rest were standing on into the lake it is then that the case is eaten by a shark and Chris tells all the following contestants in the water that they'll have another chance to compete for the million dollars in the next season dubbed Total Drama Action these contestants being Bridget Jeff Izzy Trent Gwen DJ Owen Heather Lashana Justin Lindsay Harold Beth and Duncan lights camera action
