Total Drama Island

Total Drama Island (formerly titled "Camp TV") is the first season of Total Drama.

Overview
Created as a parody of shows such as Survivor and Fear Factor, Total Drama Island focuses on twenty-two teenagers arriving at Camp Wawanakwa to compete on a reality television show. The contestants are divided into two teams and must compete in challenges every three days. While the winning team earns invincibility, the losing team has to vote off one of their own players. Whoever is voted off must walk the Dock of Shame to the Boat of Losers and leave the island. The teams eventually dissolve and the elimination process continues until the last contestant standing wins a grand prize of $100,000.

Episodes
This season consists of twenty-six episodes (twenty-seven including Total Drama Island Recap and TDI Rundown) plus a special.

Rewards
Many challenges award prizes to the winner(s). Invincibility is the most common reward but on several other occasions, different prizes are rewarded as a bonus.
