Awards Ceremony

Check out some stats about the various award ceremonies.''

The Award Ceremony, otherwise known as the Gilded Chris Ceremony, is where the castmates are eliminated. It is the Total Drama Action equivalent of the Campfire ceremony. After a challenge is held, the losing team must head off to the award ceremony, where all but one loser will receive a Gilded Chris Award. Instead of having the campers cast their votes in the confessional like last season, the votes are cast directly by electronic voting devices, probably to prevent any more tampering with the votes like Harold did last time.

Trivia

 * The first Award Ceremony of the season was a double elimination.
 * Trent was the first person to receive a Gilded Chris award at the Award Ceremony.
 * Chris wears a different outfit than his usual wear at all of the Award Ceremonies, which is a light blue suit with a red bow tie.
 * It is unknown how contestants are given Gilded Chris Awards in some episodes, as sometimes Chris and/or Chef throw them to their recipients, but in a few episodes, Chef is absent, and Chris is shown reading the safe castmember's names, but not throwing awards.
 * Sometimes, there aren't even awards being held by Chef, but they are thrown to the contestants the same way.
