Elimination (Total Drama)

Elimination is a process in Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action when a team (Screaming Gophers, Killer Bass, Screaming Gaffers or Killer Grips) or the camp votes off one camper.

Elimination occurs during a campfire ceremony or awards ceremony. Chris will hand out a marshmallow or Gilded Chris Award and whoever doesn't receive one has been eliminated from the contest. He says once you walk the Dock of Shame or Red Carpet of Shame, you can never come back, "ever". However, in "No Pain, No Game" the producers bring back Izzy and Eva come back as contestants, which prompts Chris to say, "I lied." Also, things that aren't human have been voted off. Lindsay, DJ, and Heather all left in a sudden-death elimination.

During the first and second season of the Total Drama Series, a camper always had a video made of their best moments and how they were eliminated, posted on the official Cartoon Network website.

Also, all the eliminations have a pattern:


 * In two members: Ezekiel (Bass), Eva (Bass), Noah (Gopher), Justin (Gopher), Katie (Bass), Tyler (Bass)
 * In three members: Izzy (Gopher), Cody (Gopher), Beth (Gopher), Sadie (Bass), Courtney (Bass), Harold (Bass)
 * Member of different teams: Eva again (Bass), Trent (Gopher), Bridgette (Bass), Lindsay (Gopher), DJ (Bass), Izzy again (Gopher), Geoff (Bass), LeShawna (Gopher), Duncan (Bass), Heather (Gopher)

It can also be noted that in Total Drama Action, out of the first seven people eliminated, six of them were Owen, Izzy, Gwen, Trent, Bridgette and Geoff. They are all in a couple, which may (mostly likely not) spoil anything between LeShawna and Harold, or Duncan and Courtney.

And coincidentally, there is the same pattern that the previous season in Total Drama Action, starting with E-Scope.


 * In two members: E-Scope (Grip), Trent (Grip), Gwen (Gaffer), DJ (Gaffer), Izzy or Explosivo (Grip), Owen (Grip), Heather (Gaffer), LeShawna (Gaffer), Justin(Grip) and Lindsay (Grip)
 * Also, (if you have Bridgette technically be eliminated first and Geoff second) the eliminations seem to be going Female then Male.


 * Bridgette (Female), Geoff (Male), E-Scope (Female), Trent (Male), Gwen (Female), DJ (Male), Izzy or Explosivo (Female), Owen (Male), and Heather (Female)
 * With LeShawna's elimination, the pattern has been broken. However with Justin's elimination, it was expected to return to a Female-Male pattern, which it has:
 * LeShawna (Female), Justin (Male), Lindsay (Female), Harold (Male), Courtney (Female), Owen (Male), Beth (Female)

 * Izzy was eliminated more times than any other contestant.
 * She left first on Up the Creek after being found by the RCMP.
 * She was voted off again on Wawanakwa Gone Wild!, due to her bad performance on the challenge.
 * She was voted off as "E-Scope" on Riot on Set.
 * She was voted off again on Full Metal Drama, at this time as Izzy/Explosivo.
 * Since the elimination was instituted, Brunch of Disgustingness was the first episode not to feature an elimination.
 * LeShawna, Justin, and Mr. Coconut were the only campers not to speak on their elimination episodes on Total Drama Island.
 * Curiously, all of the three were (or were created by) Screaming Gophers.
 * Beth, Gwen and Duncan were the only contestants to be on both Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action and be voted off only one time.
 * Justin was the earliest eliminated on Total Drama Island to qualify for Total Drama Action.
 * Eva was the only contestant not to compete on Total Drama Action and be eliminated twice.
 * She was also the first female to be voted off.
 * Curiously, on all the official romantic relationships, at least one of the members was unfairly, badly, or irregularly eliminated.
 * Lindsay, who pairs with Tyler, was eliminated on That's Off the Chain!, because she lost the challenge counting with Heather to share the invincibility with her; however, Heather tricked her and refused to share the immunity.
 * LeShawna, who pairs with Harold, was eliminated on Haut Camp-Ture, because when the eliminated contestants had a chance to vote one of the remaining campers off, Chris counted as a vote every time a contestant said someone's name, and a lot of contestants, and even a parrot, said LeShawna's name for accident.
 * Owen, who pairs with Izzy, was voted off on Ocean's Eight - or Nine, because all the Killer Grips team voted Courtney off on that episode, without learning that she had immunity due to a lawsuit. As Courtney voted for Owen, her vote was the only valid and Owen ended up voted off.
 * Courtney, who pairs with Duncan, was voted off on Basic Straining, because the original Killer Bass intention was to vote Harold off; however, Harold rigged the votes to get revenge of Duncan and Courtney was voted off instead, even after the truth was learned.
 * Bridgette, who pairs with Geoff, was voted off on Hide and Be Sneaky, because Duncan formed an alliance with the remaining male contestants to vote all the females off. When the girls weren't able to do the same due to intern conflicts, Bridgette ended up being voted off.
 * Gwen and Trent were both eliminated unfairly.
 * Gwen was eliminated on The Chefshank Redemption, because after the Killer Grips learned the truth behind Trent's odd behavior, they persuaded her to throw the challenges for their team. Feeling guilty, Gwen did this, and voted herself off later, like most of her teammates.
 * Trent was eliminated on Search and Do Not Destroy, because Heather tricked him into kissing her and tricked Gwen into watching the scene. When Gwen told LeShawna about the incident, she got so mad at Heather and told everyone to vote her off; however, Heather got immunity and everyone voted Trent off only to learn the truth and forgive him too late.
 * Owen is the only male to return after being eliminated.
