'''With the competition over, and Owen winning the money, the campers are heading home, or are they? Chris has one final challenge for all the campers, forcing them to be in teams. However, there is only one way this last challenge can end.'''

Recap
The campers are all having one final get-together before being sent home, but Chris arrives and offers the campers one final challenge: a race to find a suitcase containing one million of the long green. Their challenge is to locate the case that contains one million dollars and bring it back to the Dock of Shame. To compete, Owen has to forfeit the $100,000 he just won. After a moment of consideration, Owen agrees to give it up in order to compete and the game is on. At first, none of the other campers want to go after the case because they are all sick and tired of Chris messing with their heads and insist that there is no way that they will be running around like idiots all over again. They finally give in when Chris tells them that Owen is about to win the easiest $1,000,000 in TV history.

All 22 teens team up: Gwen teams up with LeShawna and Trent; Justin temporarily teams up with Katie and Sadie; Bridgette and Geoff pair (making out with each other many times during the episode); Owen teams with Cody, Tyler and DJ; Lindsay and Beth join up with Ezekiel (as long as he doesn't act sexist toward them); Duncan pairs up with Courtney and Noah joins forces with Izzy and Eva (Izzy later renamed herself Kaleidoscope, nicknamed E-Scope). Heather is left without a partner (since nobody trusts her), but she eventually teams up with Harold (and fakesn falls, head first, into a beaver dam and gets slapped by the beavers (LeShawna, Gwen and Trent run by, but they refuse to help her). The case floats down the river and is eaten by an alligator, with Duncan questioning why there are alligators in Muskoka. The camera zooms out to show the image on a TV screen with Chef and Chris watching, where it is revealed that Chef was the one who put alligators in the lake. Duncan wrestles the alligator and manages to retrieve the case. Just as they start off towards the Dock of Shame, Duncan sprains his ankle and Courtney leaves him behind, saying that she can't have him slowing her down. However, Izzy crushes Courtney after falling on top of her and snatches the case; Noah comes by Duncan and starts to taunt him because Courtney left him behind, resulting in Duncan attacking Noah and snatching his pants. Meanwhile, Justin gets annoyed with Katie & Sadie's constant chattering and ditches them in a cave, using the excuse that he needed to go urinate and wanted some privacy.

Meanwhile, Geoff and Bridgette are trying to find the case, but keep getting distracted by each other (leading to Geoff accidentally being knocked off a cliff). Eventually, they end up being chased by a moose. Izzy and Eva surrender the case to Justin after they are stunned by his gorgeous body. Meanwhile Courtney has discovered that the island is actually near civilization when she runs into a giant mirror wall. She then steals a hot air balloon from one of the crew members.

Elsewhere, Justin is trampled by Owen, DJ, Tyler and Cody and they retrieve the case. They are then chased off a cliff by the bear, but fall into Courtney's clutches. Elsewhere, Katie and Sadie have another fight (this time over Justin) and Harold reconvenes with Heather, offering another chance at teaming up for a 60/40 split on the money, which she agrees to. Courtney manages to ditch Owen, DJ, Tyler, and Cody and obtains the case, but she loses it when ambushed by the bear. Izzy, meanwhile, suits Noah and Eva up with paintball equipment and buckets so they can bring down Justin. All parties then gather near the Dock of Shame and all are fighting to retrieve the case. Eventually the case falls in the hands of Lindsay, but Justin swoops in on Chef's plane (after he used his looks and an autographed photo of himself to get the keys from Chef) and gets Lindsay to surrender the case. Izzy, Eva and Noah then show up and open fire on Justin, soaking him with water and Noah throws a fish at him (ruining his hair). Izzy then grabs the case and covers Justin's face with a bucket. She starts running for the Dock of Shame, but trips over a rock and loses the case, which starts rolling off to the dock on its own.

In a complete mix of events, Owen, Heather, Izzy, Justin, Trent, Gwen, Duncan, Beth, Lindsay, Geoff, Bridgette, LeShawna, Harold and DJ slide into the water with the case (which is then eaten by a shark). Chris then tells the fourteen campers the bad news: they all tied. So in order to break this tie, they will all have to return for season two. The campers all object, but Chris tells them about the fine print in their contracts. He then tells Ezekiel, Courtney, Katie, Sadie, Noah, Eva, Cody and Tyler that they have now lost all hope for winning, but they will be joining the cast on the side lines. Chris then tells the returning campers to report to an abandoned movie lot in two days. He then tells viewers to join in for "Total Drama Action." The episode then ends after showing some scenes from Total Drama Action (although the American one simply showed a new teaser to Total Drama Action).

Owen: WHOA! That was AWESOME! (falls to knees and starts bowing) You are a marshmallow goddess! (Eva's stomach growls) Izzy: Thirty-seven's not bad, Eva. With a little practice...you'll be burping like: (does an enormous burp that sounds like a roar, which creates a tidal wave that pushes Lindsay and Beth all the way to the other side of the pool) Owen: (marshmallows fall out of his mouth) I think I'm in love with you! (kisses Izzy's hand) (Izzy then gets nauseous and barfs all over Chef's steak) Izzy: Wow, that was gross. Hehe, okay, who wants hot dogs? (in confessional) Owen: (referring to Izzy) How can you not love a woman who can barf like a guy and come back for more?
 * Izzy: (eats another marshmallow) Ninety-five! (burp) (crushes can on forehead)


 * Harold: (in confessional) Yeah, me and LeShawna are pretty tight. We'll probably move in together when we're thirty... I'd have to ask my mom first. She'll probably give us the basement.

LeShawna: (referring to drawing a happy face on the back of Heather's bald head) Okay, you know you'd done the same thing if you were me. After all that girl did to the rest of us over the last eight weeks, she's lucky I didn't tattoo it on her head!
 * (in confessional)

Courtney: (referring to a million dollar prize just announced) Okay, this just got interesting again.
 * (in confessional)


 * Heather: Let me get this straight. After messing with our heads for an entire summer, you expect us to start running around the island like idiots all over again?

Duncan: Looks like someone got their mojo back! Courtney: Shut up and follow me. We've got a suitcase to find! Duncan: Sir! Yes, sir!
 * Courtney: (yells) Let's go get that million dollars! (kisses Duncan)

Courtney: (angrily) No! You'll slow us down! (in confessional) Duncan: (referring to Harold) What a doofus! That million is about to be in my pocket! Or in my duffel bag. I'm not really sure how much space a million dollars takes up.

Heather: (while using mirrors to see happy face drawn on the back of her head) I am so glad this whole thing is over. I haven't wanted to get away from a group of people this badly since my Calculus teacher made me join the Math-letes for extra credit. Leshawna: (snorts) You frontin' me? I'd rather stick a tire iron up my butt than team up with you.
 * (in confessional)
 * Heather: (nicely to Gwen, Trent and Leshawna) Hey guys, I realize that we've had our minor differences, but what do you say we team up? We're the four strongest players. Together we'd be unstoppable.

Noah: Okay, is it me or is Izzy just one crazy bird?
 * (in confessional)

Lindsay: Oh, I just saw this pretty dress online. Beth: Can I get one?. Lindsay: Oh gosh, no. (Ezekiel sees the case) Ezekiel: But isn't that...? Beth: Give us a little girl time here.

 * (Lindsay, Beth and Ezekiel walk under a tree with the million dollar suitcase tied to it)

Sadie: Of course not!
 * Katie: (To Sadie) You don't think Justin goes #2, do you?

Justin: (About Katie and Sadie) I am going to lose it! Seriously, If I have to hang around these two for much longer, I'll throw myself off a cliff!
 * (in Confessional)

LeShawna and Gwen: Uh-huh... Trent: Just checking. (in confessional) What is it with that guy?
 * Trent: Did you just give away all of our secret information to Justin?

DJ: So turn around and take a whizz! We're all dudes here. Owen: No, not number one. (farts) Number poo. Cody, Tyler and DJ: Oh! DJ: Head for the woods, dude! Just be sure you put some serious distance between you and us! Tyler: Yeah. We'll wait here. (Owen begins walking towards the woods, dragging Tyler, DJ and Cody with him since they're tied together) DJ: You've got to untie yourself first! (Owen fiddles with the rope but can't untie the knots) Owen: I can't! DJ: (looks at Cody) Where'd you learn how to tie these knots? The army? Cody: Actually, it was a special after school program... DJ: (looks at Owen) And you! Why didn't you go before we tied ourselves together? Owen: I didn't have to go then! Guys, this is serious!!! DJ: (Looks down with resignation) I guess you're just gonna have to... go... (They all back up until Owen's behind a bush, he squats down so all that is seen is his head and the sound of him sliding down his pants) Owen: What do I wipe with, bark?!
 * Owen: (to Cody, Tyler and DJ) Uhhh, guys, I kinda have to go.

(The beavers start beating on Heather's head)
 * Heather: (stuck head first in beaver dam) Noooo! No! That was a million dollars, you stupid beavers!


 * Lindsay:(holding the case) I am so going to be queen of France! (a fishing line pulls the case; Beth and Ezekiel are shocked but Lindsay smiles) It's a flying case!

Duncan: What are alligators doing in Muskoka?! (cuts to Chris watching on a monitor with Chef) Chris: (to Chef) Hmmm, alligators your idea? (Chef nods and Chris laughs) Good one!
 * Courtney: What?! That alligator just stole our briefcase!


 * Duncan: (referring to alligator he just wrestled for suitcase) Ha! I've had tougher girlfriends than him...and uglier.

Duncan: (to Noah) Enough of a man to take your head off, geek! (rips off Noah's pants and Noah, in boxers, runs off)  Noah: (screams like a girl as he runs, flailing)
 * Noah: So, your girlfriend turned on you, huh? Hate to see that happen. Bet you feel like a loser about now, huh? Less of a man.

Duncan: I love that woman.
 * Courtney: No one is stealing the money that I stole first!!

Trent: (to Gwen and LeShawna) Should we help her? (a brief pause and all three laugh) LeShawna: (as they run off) That's a good one.
 * Heather: (stuck in beaver dam) Help, guys!! Get me out of here!

Noah: Sorry, I left my 'roids back at the gym.
 * Eva: You run like a girl.


 * Izzy: I'm thinking of changing my name, yeah, to "Kaleidoscope". Isn't that pretty? You can call me "E-Scope" for short.


 * Eva: (regarding Justin) Watch it; it's a trap!

Izzy: Whatever you guys do, don't look him in his eyes. He has powers... Justin: Give me the case. Izzy: Back off, really hot guy! Justin: I didn't want to have to do this... but you give me no choice. (takes off shirt) Noah: Izzy, don't fall for it! Look away! Izzy: I can't. He's too... beautiful!(Gives the case to Justin; Noah tries to grab it, but is tripped by Eva.) Eva: He's so pretty. He deserves it. Justin: Thank you. (flashes a grin) (In Confessional) Justin: Do I think that I ride on my good looks, that I use them to my advantage? Do I think being really, really ridiculously good looking has given me the upper hand in life? (laughs) Duh! Izzy: (Blushes, then stops) What happened? Where's the case? Noah: You just handed it to a male model.
 * Noah: Justin, the anti-me! So we meet again.

Eva: What am I gonna do!? I'll never be able to show my face at the gym again! I'll be an outcast! A leper! I let a guy talk me in to giving away one million dollars...!
 * (In the confessional)

Eva: Yeah! We'll crush his skull!! Noah: A little too far. Eva: Sorry...
 * Izzy: E-Scope is not going to let him get away with this, no matter how hot he is! Come on!

Phil: (into walkie-talkie) Ah...Chris, we have a situation here! Chris: BAIL, PHIL! BAIL!
 * (Courtney pulls down the hot air balloon with Phil in it)


 * Heather: (to Harold) You know what? So far today, I've been thrown off a cliff by you, attacked by beavers, left to die, and I lost one million dollars which I'm really hoping to get back, so I really don't have time for your Harold-ness right now!

Heather: Definitely. (looks at the camera and shakes her head with an awkward expression on her face)
 * Harold: Do you think we'll be friends when this is all over?

Justin: No. (long pause) Tyler: What do we do now? Cody: Look, the paparazzi! (Justin turns away and poses as the guys ambush him and take back the case)
 * Tyler: Now give us that case or we'll mess you up!


 * Owen: (seeing a bear walk up to him) Oh, I bet it's Izzy in there. (opens bear's mouth) Izzy, can you hear me? (bear roars) It's not Izzy!

Courtney: Oh, yes I would! I don't even like you very much!
 * DJ: (hanging from the hot air balloon, tied to Tyler, Cody, and Owen) You wouldn't let us fall to our deaths...!

Geoff: No worries. It was a pretty soft rock.
 * Bridgette: I'm so sorry I knocked you off the cliff.

Geoff: Bridgette is really amazing. She's so sweet and pretty and down to earth. I'm afraid she's going to accidentally kill me by the end of the day.
 * (in the confessional)

Geoff: Guys, that moose will be coming back for another run at us very soon! Duncan: (to himself) What the heck...? (to the four on the ladder) What are you guys doing up there?! (All four point at the moose, which snorts) Oh, no! (Screams, then runs to the main lodge with the moose chasing him; Duncan somehow flips things around by grabbing a moose trophy, running at the moose, having the moose run out of the lodge, and mimicking moose noises) Courtney (fighting off DJ, Cody, Tyler and Owen on a hot air balloon from getting the million dollar suitcase while Duncan is chasing a moose) Whoo-hoo! Go honey, go! Duncan: I'm coming for you next, sweetheart!
 * (Climbing the ladder with Bridgette, Katie, and Sadie)

Beth: It's the case! (Lindsay picks it up and hears an engine sound) Chris: (notices Justin about to jump out of the airplane) Now how the heck did he get the keys to the plane? (Camera points to Chef holding an autographed head shot of Justin, hides picture behind his back) Chef: I don't know. Justin: (In confessional, smiles, and shoots a pointing gesture to the audience, rock guitar note is heard)
 * Lindsay: (walking out of restroom with Beth and Ezekiel)... And I was like "Yes, you can wear pink with red." And she was like "No you can't." (spots the case on ground) Wow, that's a pretty case. (resumes her story) Anyways, so I...

Chris: Actually, you did. It's called the fine print. Read it, live it, love it. Gwen: I hate the fine print!
 * Duncan: Ha, forget this. I didn't agree to season two.


 * Harold: (in the confessional) Another season? Sweet. Another chance to showcase my mad skills. Hyahh! (hits the side of the stall) OW! Ho-ho! Aw! Right on the funny bone! Ha-ha! Oh!


 * Chris: In exactly two days you will all report to a brand new location for a whole new challenge and the last one standing will receive one million dollars! So don't forget to tune in to "Total Drama Action!"

Trivia

 * Title Reference: This episode's title is parodied to the comedy film, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!".
 * The content of the episode, is partially relative to the comedy movie, "Rat Race," where a group of strangers go on pursuit to retrieve a large amount of hidden money.


 * All dialog edits to this episode can be found on the Edits page.


 * This marks the first time since Not So Happy Campers - Part 1 that all of the characters in season one have dialogue, mainly because there are only two episodes where Justin talks.
 * This is the first time Tyler has any lines since Phobia Factor.
 * This is the second time Izzy yelled like Tarzan. The other episodes being No Pain, No Game and Monster Cash.


 * Harold tells Heather that he is "alone by choice" when she asks why he does not have a teammate. However, Harold did try to join some teams for this episode.
 * Harold also said he wasn't "always this cool," but he seems unpopular with some other contestants and wound up getting the final marshmallow three times throughout the series. He most likely imagines that he has become cooler over the years, he says this after he gave the two reasons she was mean being either her parents were divorced or she was fat and pimply and when she asked why he knew so much implying his parents may be divorced.
 * When talking to Heather, Harold begins to mention "this one time at computer camp" which is a possible parody of the quote "This one time at band camp" from American Pie.


 * This is the second time Sadie and Katie have an argument. The first time was in The Sucky Outdoors.


 * Chris is now using a gun with a cork bullet to start the race; this is probably due to an earlier shooting in Up The Creek where he shot an eagle and said it would provoke some angry e-mails (although he wound up shooting a bird in this episode anyway).


 * Tyler actually succeeds at an athletic activity (he climbed the tree and got the case), although it did take him a while.


 * Owen and Izzy act like they never had a relationship, even though they were kissing at the end of the last episode.
 * According to the website, Izzy's personality causes her to "like a guy one minute, and be ready to throw him off a cliff the next." As a result, it is possible that Izzy had suddenly gotten over Owen. Owen may have also gotten so excited that he forgot that he and Izzy were a couple.


 * The strange thing about Cody, Owen, DJ, and Tyler' group is that all them have had a hallucination or dream shown sometime in the series.
 * Cody's dream was shown in The Big Sleep
 * Tyler's hallucination was shown in The Big Sleep
 * Owen's dream was shown Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon
 * Although it was after this episode, DJ's hallucination was show in The Sand Witch Project


 * Izzy unofficially renames herself "E-Scope" (short for "Kaleidoscope"), which is what she would want to change her name to if she won the million dollars, and continued obsessively persuading her team in Total Drama Action to call her E-Scope as well until The Chefshank Redemption, where it was revealed that she used her Kaleidoscope persona to return to the competition later as Izzy on a technicality.


 * Chris says at the beginning of the episode that everyone will get their stuff back, thus explaining what happened to all the luggage that a number of campers did not bring their belongings to the Dock of Shame.


 * LeShawna and Harold officially break up in this episode after LeShawna admits that they were moving way too fast, but the two still remain friends (though Harold is still in love with LeShawna).


 * Heather opens up to Harold after pointing out that her meanness is the cause to her lack of friends.
 * Harold assumes Heather was either "fat and pimply" when she was younger, or that her parents were divorced as a means of explaining why Heather is who she is today. However, it is shown that Heather's parents are still together in the video they made out to her (though they could have been divorced in the past and remarried since, or merely got together briefly to make the video). On the Total Drama Island Interactive website, Heather's profile claims that her brother told the producers that she was fat and pimply.


 * Owen forfeits his prize money due to taking on the $1,000,000 challenge.


 * It's revealed in this episode that the island is actually not a deserted island (Chris and Chef just used mirrors to keep the campers away from civilization); this contradicts other episodes, where maps of the island are shown and the campers actually cycle around the entire place. Another contradiction is the civil side has cars and highways, yet Trent and DJ didn't see any of the cars moving on the island below when they were in a Helicopter (and saw the whole island). Even at such a high elevation, they should have at least seen some things moving around.


 * The teams in this challenge were:
 * Team 1: LeShawna, Gwen and Trent.
 * Team 2: Beth, Lindsay, and Ezekiel.
 * Team 3: Eva, Izzy and Noah.
 * Team 4: Courtney and Duncan (Courtney ditches him after he sprains his ankle).
 * Team 5: Cody, DJ, Owen and Tyler.
 * Team 6: Heather and Harold.
 * Team 7: Justin, Katie and Sadie (Justin ditches them for being too annoying).
 * Team 8: Bridgette and Geoff.


 * The truck driver's design was DJ's prototype design.


 * Harold, Izzy, Lindsay and Beth are the only ones who seem happy to be moving on to the second season.


 * Running Gag: Geoff and Bridgette making out.


 * Ezekiel was actually the first to spot the suitcase, but since Lindsay and Beth wanted some girl time, he left it alone.


 * In this episode, Gwen's friends from home are shown in photographs.
 * Gwen's friends bear some resemblance to a group of Goths who were seen in the 6teen episode "Lights Out". Also, she said one of her friends' name was "Marilyn", which was the name of a character in that episode.


 * In this episode, Owen is revealed to be the youngest of three brothers.


 * Owen's assumption that the Bear is just Izzy in a suit is a reference to The Sucky Outdoors.


 * The prototype character model of Duncan (and allegedly Cody) appears as a character for the third time in this episode. His first appearance was in The Sucky Outdoors as the pizza guy, the second time in Who Can You Trust? as a stunt double, and now this time as a cameraman.


 * This episode showcases some of Chris's upgraded facial expressions at the end of the episode while he is telling the losers the bad news.


 * Clues for finding the suitcase:
 * 1) It's just hanging around (tied to a tree branch).
 * 2) It is wet (in the water).
 * 3) It is somewhere beautiful (with Justin).


 * In this episode, the cliff from the episodes Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, The Big Sleep and Are We There Yeti? is featured once again.


 * The order that the campers had the case was:
 * Owen, Tyler, DJ and Cody found the case in a tree and caught it
 * Harold stole it from Owen, Tyler, DJ and Cody for Heather, but Heather ditches Harold.
 * Lindsay, Beth and Ezekiel found the case in the water, but Duncan manages to snag it with a fishing pole.
 * Duncan snatches the case from Lindsay's hands and stole it for Courtney.
 * Izzy falls on Courtney, and stole the case along with Eva and Noah.
 * Justin used "his powers" on Eva and Izzy and stole the case.
 * Cody tricks Justin and stole the case for his team.
 * Courtney (alone) stole the case when Owen, DJ, Tyler and Cody forgot it in the balloon.
 * Bridgette, Geoff, Katie, Sadie, Owen, Cody, DJ, Tyler, Courtney all tried to reach for the case Courtney had.
 * LeShawna grabs it from the group of people.
 * Beth found the case that slipped out of LeShawna's hands
 * Justin used "his powers" again on Lindsay and stole the case.
 * E-Scope stole it with the help of Eva and Noah.
 * E-Scope fell down and lost the case, which ends up bouncing down the Dock of Shame and eaten by a shark.
 * Trent and Gwen never had the case.


 * Despite the fact Gwen and Trent never got or found the case, both of them qualified for Total Drama Action anyways.


 * Overall, Tyler, Owen, DJ, and Cody's team had the case for the longest amount of time.


 * The non-returning campers may have learned something during their experience on the show.
 * Eva: Is now in control of her temper.
 * Cody: His brilliant tactics were able to keep a team together (even when money was involved); he managed to outsmart Justin.
 * Ezekiel: Was redeemed for his sexist comments about girls (and even befriended Beth and Lindsay).
 * Katie and Sadie: Were able to remain friends even through another fight.
 * Noah: Was redeemed for his earlier laziness and snottiness in the series (and befriended other campers).
 * Tyler: Accomplished some sort of athletic feat by climbing a tree (even if it took three attempts).
 * Courtney: Will eventually win a lawsuit to return to Total Drama Action as a competitor.


 * Izzy makes a reference to her dating Justin, as she informs Eva not to look into his eyes, for he "has powers".


 * It's revealed that Courtney loses her lawsuit for "unfair termination." However, she will return to Total Drama Action in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine.


 * In The Very Last Episode, Really! Owen said his party would be the following week. In this episode Chris said the party was in the winter.


 * The chain of events that led to 14 campers in the water was: Cody, Tyler, Katie, Sadie, and Courtney falling into jell-o and Owen, DJ, LeShawna, Geoff, and Bridgette sliding down on the diving board. Duncan is riding a moose and the same time chasing Gwen, Trent, Beth, Izzy, and Lindsay. The diving board drags along Justin's parachute. Duncan gets shot off the moose and they all hit Harold, who was helping Heather out of the water.


 * Courtney, long after the events of Phobia Factor in which her fear of green jelly was made apparent (and was too afraid to conquer her fear by diving into a pool of it) ended up having to fall into said pool anyway, twenty episodes afterward, but whether she's still afraid of green jelly or not is unknown. She may have gotten over her fear by this point.


 * A portion of Justin's confession when he admitted that he uses his looks to his advantage (really, really, ridiculously good-looking) is actually a line from the movie Zoolander.


 * Justin is much more devious and underhanded in this episode; this may be due to the fact he got voted off so early in Not Quite Famous. It also foreshadows his role as an antagonist in Total Drama Action.
 * In addition this is the first episode in which Justin uses the confessional.


 * This is the only episode of Total Drama Island that was not censored in any way by Cartoon Network.


 * In the previous episode, Owen said that his party would be on a yacht, but it was at Playa De Losers (although it is possible that this wasn't the real party, just a gathering of all the campers before they head home).


 * Many things used are similar or the same of past episodes:
 * When Izzy, Eva and Noah are getting dressed up in the boathouse, the outfits they are wearing look like the ones from Paintball Deer Hunter.
 * When Harold and Heather were in the creek, it is the same from Up the Creek, and Basic Straining.
 * When Owen, Tyler, DJ and Cody were attacked by the bear, there was a similar attack that the bear did in The Big Sleep and Paintball Deer Hunter. When the Moose attacks Geoff, it is similar to what another moose (or maybe the same) did in X-Treme Torture.
 * When many characters were fighting for the case, they were above the jelly pool from Phobia Factor.


 * A few scenes from this episode are used in the trailer for Total Drama Action;
 * The scene where Courtney is scaling the wall but gets hit on the head by an intern's microphone.
 * The scene where Courtney hits the mirror.


 * The expression Noah had when Duncan pulled down his pants is the same as the expression he had when kissing Cody's ear in The Big Sleep.


 * At least one person from every team qualified for Total Drama Action

Goofs

 * Lindsay's Name Goof(s): Lindsay calls Heather "Hannah" in this episode, despite always getting her name right throughout the season. Since she is on bad terms with Heather, she might have done this on purpose.


 * When Justin flies in with the parachute to Lindsay, he covers Ezekiel and Beth with the parachute. Later, Beth appears to be outside of the parachute while Ezekiel is still inside (though she may have simply lifted it and escaped).


 * When Bridgette accidentally knocks over Geoff, he gets a bump on his head. However, when they are running to the ladder, it's gone. This could be viewed as a one-off joke, though.


 * When Courtney kisses Duncan and he widens his eyes in happiness, his uni-brow is suddenly two eyebrows (this also happens at various times throughout the episode).


 * Justin's parachute falls and covers Ezekiel (hence why he was unable to make it to the dock), but in the next scene he is walking away and it is still attached to him without Ezekiel. It is possible Ezekiel escaped and ran off looking for his team.


 * Right before the diving board falls, Owen, DJ, Cody, and Tyler are seen still tied together, but after it falls, the rope is suddenly gone, and the 4 are separated. Seeing as the rope had held all 4 up when hanging over the cliff edge, it seems unlikely that the rope would have broken then (or since they fell downward, they may have just fallen out).


 * LeShawna chases Harold and Heather into the water by driving the tractor off the dock (thus landing in the water). But when she runs back to get the case, she shows no signs of ever being wet.


 * The colossal one million dollar check noticeably changes size; when it first appears, it blots out the sun and the top of it seems a good couple of hundred feet above the ground. The second time Chris says "ONE... MILLION... DOLLARS!", the top of it only seems to hit about fifty, judging by Courtney, Duncan, Lindsay, Beth and the palm tree's close proximity to it.


 * When Izzy gets Eva and Noah to suit up, Noah's pants are suddenly back on. Though Noah might have found his pants lying on the ground since Duncan threw them off-screen; or he might have just gotten another pair of pants.


 * When the campers run into each other, several of them are wearing swimsuits. When they get out of the pile, all of their swimsuits are gone and they are back in their regular clothes.
 * Courtney's hair is in the style it is when she's wearing a swimsuit, but when they get out of the pile, her hair is back to normal.


 * Heather still has a bald head as of this episode, but her wig does not appear and her head is round as opposed to the flat dome she had the previous episode. Due to the time gap between the season finale and this special, it is likely an upgrade in design to make her head look more realistic, as there are upgraded expressions for most characters in Total Drama Action.


 * When Justin, Katie and Sadie are dancing in the pool in front of the Juice Bar, the water only reaches to their ankles, but in Haut Camp-ture, the water is deep enough so Izzy and Sadie can be completely submerged underwater.


 * Heather is not shown with her wig in this episode. She is also shown with a round head instead of a flat one. Though LeShawna may have taken it when she pranked Heather.
