Campfire Ceremony


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

The Campfire Ceremony is the elimination ceremony that took place at the campfire pit in Total Drama Island. The losing team would vote in the confessional for the camper that they wished to eliminate and the camper that received the most votes was eliminated from Total Drama Island. At the beginning of 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 did not take part in the ceremony. After the merge in No Pain, No Game, all of the remaining campers attended the ceremony.

Chris McLean 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, with the exception of Brunch of Disgustingness, Hook, Line, and Screamer, and Haute Camp-ture. The campfire ceremonies were replaced with the Gilded Chris Ceremonies 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 is replaced with the Barf Bag Ceremony, where the contestants received a Barf Bags Full of Airline Issued Peanuts instead.

In Awwwwww, Drumheller, Chris pays tribute to season one's campfire ceremonies during the Barf Bag Ceremony, holding the ceremony outside in front of a makeshift bonfire. There are strings of light 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 as Sierra accidentally blew up the Total Drama Jumbo Jet.

In the Teletoon trailer for Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, the campfire ceremony appears in the background as Chris was talking.

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.
 * Hook, Line, and Screamer - No marshmallows are given out. Chris announces that Gwen wins immunity and DJ's eliminated.
 * Camp Castaways - An inanimate object is eliminated by Chris.
 * The Very Last Episode, Really! - The winner of the competition is given the final marshmallow and is announced at the ceremony rather than someone being voted off. Additionally, all of the eliminated campers attend this ceremony.
