Campfire Ceremony


 * Refer to this page for stats about the various campfire ceremonies.

The Campfire Ceremony is an elimination ceremony that took place at the campfire pit. The losing team would vote for the camper they wish to eliminate and the camper that receives the most amount of votes is eliminated from Total Drama Island. Early in the competition, the campers were divided into two teams, the Killer Bass and the Screaming Gophers. The team that lost the day's challenge were sent to the ceremony, while the team that won earned invincibility and exemption from the ceremony. After the merge in No Pain, No Game, all remaining campers attended the ceremony.

Chris hands out marshmallows to the campers, and whoever does not receive a marshmallow is eliminated. The camper who is voted off must walk the Dock of Shame and then must catch a ride on the Boat of Losers. Instead of being sent home, the contestants are sent to a five-star resort known as Playa Des Losers. The campfire ceremony is featured in almost every episode of Total Drama Island. The campfire ceremonies were replaced with the Gilded Chris Ceremony in the following season, and the marshmallows have been replaced with a small chocolate sculpture of Chris covered with gold foil, called Gilded Chris Awards. In Total Drama World Tour, the ceremony was replaced with the Barf Bag Ceremony, were the contestants received a Barf Bags Full of Airline Issued Peanuts instead.

In Awwwwww, Drumheller, Chris pays tribute to the Campfire Ceremony during the Barf Bag Ceremony, holding the ceremony outside in front of a makeshift bonfire. There are strands of lights similar to the ones at the original setting strung between two tiki statues, and he hands out marshmallows instead of barf bags. However, he never finishes the ceremony due to Sierra accidentally blowing up the Total Drama Jumbo Jet.

Trivia

 * Some campfire ceremonies have a certain event which takes place that makes them unique.
 * Not So Happy Campers - Part 2 - The suspense of Chris announcing who the final marshmallow goes to was extremely long, most likely due to it being the first ceremony. It is the longest amount of time he's taken to hand out the final immunity symbol in any elimination ceremony in the series.
 * Up the Creek - Before someone could be officially be eliminated, the RCMP suddenly interrupted the ceremony in their helicopter to arrest Izzy. However, she managed to escape and was thus declared eliminated. The other candidate for elimination, Lindsay, was safe by default.
 * No Pain, No Game - Chris showed the campers the confessional videos instead of handing out marshmallows, due to them running out of them.
 * Search and Do Not Destroy - Chris passed the marshmallows to everyone (excluding Trent) faster than his normal pace.
 * Hook, Line, and Screamer - No marshmallows was given out. Chris announced that Gwen won immunity and DJ was eliminated.
 * Camp Castaways - An inanimate object was eliminated by Chris.
 * The Very Last Episode, Really! - The winner of the competition was given the final marshmallow and was announced at the ceremony rather than someone being voted off. Additionally, all of the eliminated campers attended this ceremony.
