Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan

'''The contestants travel to Japan for a dangerous challenge. The teams must survive a Japanese game show, and then shoot a commercial. Three teammates clash, leaving two others to finish the challenge. Meanwhile, one contestant is upset because he keeps hurting animals. One team's winning streak continues, while another has to lose another member. One contestant is technically voted off, but someone else sacrifices themselves instead.'''

Plot
The episode opens with Team Victory and Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot in the commercial class cabin. Owen is still terrified as ever to fly in a plane, and as Noah is trying to reassure him that air travel is safe, a hole opens up in the side of the plane. LeShawna is nearly sucked out of the plane but Alejandro catches and saves her. Harold says that he could have done the same but "he wants to leave the ladies wanting more.", to which Bridgette and Lindsay giggle and DJ says that what the girls want Alejandro. Soon after, Owen gets sucked into the hole and clogs it, preventing any more air from escaping. Owen complains and LeShawna fawns over Alejandro, while Harold is in denial that she's falling for him. Meanwhile, in the winner's section, Courtney is trying to convince her team to make her leader, to which Gwen argues that they don't need a leader since they are doing well in the challenges and winning. She explains that this is the reason why they need a leader, to keep winning. Heather then adds that her "friend" Sierra should be listened as well. Sierra is seen shifting through Cody's belongings, even sniffing his shoe, making Heather almost vomit.



Chris then calls them all down to the commons to discuss the challenge. Harold asks if it is a reward challenge. Chris refuses to say, while Tyler whispers to Lindsay that it's probably a reward challenge, since the last two times were eliminations. This excited Lindsay, and expressed her wish of the prize being candy, or shoes or even shoes made of candy. Finally Chris reveals they are going to Japan and suddenly Chef enters in a Chinese costume, to which Harold complains about their cultural insensitivity. Chris tried to explain, once again, that who doesn't sing, will be immediatly eliminated, but Harold kept interrupting him. Growing annoyed, Chris signals to Chef, who then slices open the door, forcing the contestants from the plane. Chris screams that they could have just landed, but Chef thinks that it would have been too boring. As the contestants scream and fall the bell chimes, indicating the start of a song, Noah is incredulous about the idea but Chris insists that they comply. The contestants then sing Before We Die.

After finishing the song, the contestants land in a giant bowl of rice. Harold cheers and says that he know everything about this country. LeShawna, slightly annoyed, yells at him about how everything Harold knows about Japan just made them fall from the plane. Alejandro, interrupting Harold's comment of already having participated of Sensei's Steve Summer Camp, proves he knows how to talk japanese, by saying to LeShawna that she is as beautiful as a flower, in the foreign language. LeShawna is shown surprised and giggles about it.

Then they are taken to a game show studio for their first challenge. It was huge and featured a enormous human size pinball format game. Tyler is really excited about this, saying that he loves Japanese game shows. He high-fives Harold, who says his favorite was one where you had to throw a banana into a car's window with a giant shrimp fork, which Tyler recognized. Chris interrupts them with the sound of a gong, which he called as his personal "geek-gong". The challenge is human pinball, where the contestants must be placed inside a pinball with an animal and try to get the highest score for their team. Alejandro volunteers to do the challenge for his team when no one else wants to. DJ is volunteered by his team mates but doesn't like it because he is convinced that he is cursed by the mummified dog that he broke in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1. He stated that when he touched it, it exploded along with the pyramid they were in. LeShawna denies it, saying it just desintegrated. Cody volunteers to do the challenge for his team when Courtney, Heather, and Gwen won't stop arguing. Alejandro and DJ are paired up with pandas for their teams, and Cody and Sierra are teamed up for Team Amazon. Abruptly DJ's panda attacked him, while Alejandro charms his panda before it is able to attack him. Lindsay, Izzy, LeShawna and Bridgette thought it was really cute, and didn't give much attention to DJ's panda still be massacring him. Alejandro wins the challenge for his team with his panda, Ting Ting. DJ finishes in second place, after hopelessly trying to run away from his panda (scoring many points by this), and gets devastated when he accidentally harms the his panda, T'sing T'sing in the process. Cody finishes in third with kisses all over him from Sierra. He is then shown in the confessional, removing Sierra's gum from his ear and expressing disgust.

The next challenge is introduced after seeing a dubbed version of the Total Drama Action trailer. Chris tells the contestants that Total Drama series is huge in Japan. Courtney complains of why their voices are dubbed and Chis explains that's because the Japanese "don't like the cast's voices," and admitting he is not sorry about it. The cast is told they must create, direct and produce commercial's for Chef's new candy, the Total Drama Yum Yum Happy Go Time Candy Fish Tails, which Chris called it the Total Drama Yum-Yum Happy Go Time Candy Fish Tails challenge, and Chef himself will judge each of the commercials. The teams get to pick props for their commercials. For winning the first challenge, Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot chooses first. Alejandro finds an alien suit that Izzy suggests Owen to wear it during the commercial and everyone agrees, little houses to represent Tokyo and military helmets. The other members all congratulate Alejandro because of the great idea. When Team Victory was coming to pick their props they pass through Alejandro and he wishes them luck. Harold doesn't accept it, saying he doesn't need luck from him, while Alejandro responds that he knows Harold doesn't need it, since he has superior leadership and visionary skills. Harold gets happy with his comments and agrees. Team Victory then picks, and last is Team Amazon.

While Team Amazon is in the cargo hold, Ezekiel's sillhouette is briefly shown, with red eyes. Before Cody can ask who it is, the shape vanishes, hiding behind some crates. After this Heather, Gwen, and Courtney argue over how they want to do the challenge. They cannot reach an agreement so they each storm off. This prompts Cody and Sierra to handle the commercial themselves. Chris begins to play the commercials, Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot does a Godzilla parody. Owen dresses up as an alien and stomps on the small city as the rest of the team dresses up as soldiers worry about what the monster will do to their city. To get the monster to stop, Alejandro gives the monster candy and it makes him stop crushing the buildings. The team then sings the slogan that they made up for the commercial. Team Victory films their commercial in a black and white slow sequence. Harold intends for the film to be a metaphor but most of the contestants, Chris, and Chef view it as total nonsense. Team Amazon doesn't seem to have a commercial prepared and Courtney begins to tell Chef and Chris that they didn't make one, but Cody interrupts saying that they have a great commercial, just not a title yet. He plays the commercial, which incorporates the ideas of Heather, Gwen, and Courtney with a colorful background and jingle that Sierra sings. Cody did all the filming and said one line. In the end, it is revealed that Team Amazon won the challenge, with Chef saying that he picked theirs purely because their commercial featured exploding doughnuts. Team Amazon tells Cody how great he is to which Sierra agrees. She asks for a group hug, and tells everyone but Cody to back off. Team Victory lost, and Alejandro consoles Harold, telling him he still has his honor. Alejandro then tells Harold that LeShawna likes guys with honor, which causes Harold to think. At the elimination ceremony, the entire team and T'sing T'sing the panda (except Lindsay who doesn't vote for any one) vote out DJ. But before he is eliminated, Harold quits the game, saying that the team's loss was his fault. He leaves the plane with "honor," by stabbing himself with a fake lightsaber and then falling out without a parachute. Chris throws him one and the episode ends.

Cast

 * Ezekiel makes a cameo appearance in the cargo hold as a shadow with red eyes, but does not speak. Trent, Duncan and Beth make a cameo appearance in the TDA commercial.

Goofs

 * For the closed captions, many of the lines are mislabeled during the off-screen argument between Gwen, Heather, and Courtney after they storm off.
 * There were a few goofs with the passports.
 * When DJ is voting, Courtney's passport is seen on the sink, even though she is part of Team Amazon.
 * Also, Gwen's passport can be seen when LeShawna was voting instead of Bridgette's, even though Gwen is part of Team Amazon.
 * When LeShawna is holding DJ's passport in her hand, he is frowning in the picture, however when DJ is holding up his own passport, he is smiling in the picture
 * Although, it is quite likely that they make copies of the pass ports, or there are more pictures on the back. It could simply be that Leshawna voted for DJ, then flipped the page to the next one, where DJ is smiling.
 * During Before We Die, Alejandro grabs Bridgette's hand but then he appears between Izzy and Lindsay.
 * Even though they are in Japan, Chris has pandas, which are native to China.
 * When Alejandro says he wants to be a lion tamer and when he sings his lines at the beginning of the song, his hair seems to blow as if the wind was moving from the right to the left, even though everyone else's hair is blowing as if the wind was going upward. When he is in the circle, both times his hair is blowing as if the wind were blowing from left to right.
 * Twice in this episode, Chris leaves off a "Really" in Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot.
 * Coincidentally, in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2 he added two "Really's" to it.
 * When Harold is telling LeShawna what their commercial was a metaphor for, the bridge of his glasses disappears.
 * Harold and Alejandro use the word "Samurais" to mean "more than one Samurai." This is incorrect, "Samurai" is both the singular and the plural form of the word.
 * The scoreboard, during the challenge has only five places, but after Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot scores 462,000 points it has six places.
