Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1

'''The third season has begun, and the contestants are introduced to their new living place and transportation method for the competition, along with the new rules of the game. One contestant is suddenly eliminated, but manages to make a comeback. They are taken to a new location where they participate in their first challenge and after an aggravated contestant quits the show, three new teams are formed.'''

Recap
As the episode begins, Chris introduces the concept of the show, which features the contestants participating in challenges all over the world and singing. He then introduces all the contestants, who were selected in the previous episode. After re-introducing the cast, Chris and Chef bring forth the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, which will take the contestants around the world. He initially receives complaints from all the contestants about how unsafe the plane looks, but after bashing Owen on the head with a frying pan for his complaints about flying, the contestants quiet down and Chris says he'll give them the tour of the plane.

Inside, he tells the contestants that they'll really have to sing whenever Chris tells them, something met with a lot of complaints by every contestant except Courtney, but especially with a lot of complaints from Duncan. He then shows them the loser lounge, which is a seat-less compartment in which the losers of each week's challenge will stay and where the only way to sleep is to strap yourself to the wall in order to avoid feeling the jet's rumbles on the floor. He also shows them the swanky and luxurious winner's section, where the winners will stay.



In the winners' section, Alejandro displays his charm in front of Lindsay and Bridgette, which immediately makes both of them very smitten with him, and makes Tyler get very jealous that Lindsay is paying so much attention to another guy. Later, Chris explains the process of the new elimination ceremony, where those who are safe receive a Barf Bag full of airline-issued peanuts, and those who are eliminated must jump off the plane. When Ezekiel says he has a peanut allergy, an annoyed Chris throws him out the door and declares him eliminated. However, Ezekiel manages to climb back into the plane before it takes off by grabbing onto the landing gear and then he stows away off-screen.

While the cast is talking over things in the lunch cabin, Chris shows up and rings a bell, telling them whenever they hear that bell they must all break into song and make up the lyrics and melody as they go or else be eliminated. The cast are confused as to what to do, but then Courtney starts singing herself and leads them into the first song of the season - Come Fly With Us.

After some traveling, the contestants arrive at Egypt where Chris announces the first challenge is to climb over or go under the Pyramids and reach the finish line. The contestants splits into groups. One team is Courtney, Duncan and Gwen; another is Izzy, Owen and Noah; another is Alejandro, Bridgette, Lindsay and Tyler (although Tyler, for the most part, is separated from the others and is on his own); another is LeShawna, Harold and DJ; then Heather, Sierra and Cody and Ezekiel is on his own.

Inside the pyramid, the contestants have three paths that they may enter. LeShawna, Harold, and DJ go one way. Along the way through, DJ sees a mummified dog. He feels bad for it and pets it, causing it to break. This sets off a trap, storming their area with scarabs. But because of this, they escape the pyramid and are the first to cross. All are placed in Team 1. Owen, Izzy, and Noah go through the pyramid. Izzy asked to be dressed up as a mummy and accidentally gets separated from Noah and Owen. They look around for her and accidentally find Ezekiel wrapped in mummy bandages as well. They think it's Izzy but when Owen tries to kiss her, Noah realizes that it isn't and they both run away. Meanwhile outside the pyramid, Tyler tries to win Lindsay's affection from Alejandro to no avail. Bridgette, Lindsay, and Alejandro surf down the pyramid on a sign that they found at the top. Tyler tumbles down after them. Alejandro lets the girls go first and they are both placed on Team 1. Alejandro and Tyler then cross the finish line and are placed on Team 2. Noah and Owen cross soon after. When Alejandro sees who's in his team, he pretends to be happy with it but bursts into a Spanish swearing rant in the confessional. In the pyramid, Sierra accidentally sets off a trap and nearly kills Heather, who pretends to be ok with it in order to make Sierra like her.Then, Sierra, Heather and Cody exit the pyramid. Sierra is put as the last member for Team Two, while Cody and Heather become the first of Team Three. Meanwhile, on the top of the pyramid Gwen and Courtney argue over how to go down the side while Duncan goes on, aggravated. When Chris rings the song bell and tells Duncan he has to sing about his feelings, an enraged Duncan runs down the side of the pyramid, dragging Courtney and Gwen with him and tells Chris that he refuses to sing. Chris tells him that if he doesn't sing he is disqualified and a furious Duncan quits the show and walks away, much to the surprise and shock of both Courtney and Gwen.



After Izzy and Ezekiel arrive, Chris puts Izzy on Team Three and after non-stop begging from Ezekiel to return to the competition, Chris puts him on Team One. Chris gets annoyed by Harold because he insists upon saying the team numbers in Egyptian. Chris then tells the chosen teams to pick a team name for their respective teams and they have three minutes to do so, while he finishes an ice-cream. Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Izzy and Cody become Team Amazon; LeShawna, Harold, DJ, Bridgette, Lindsay and the newly incorporated Ezekiel become Team Victory and after some debate, Alejandro, Noah, Owen, Tyler and Sierra become Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot at Sierra's suggestion.

Chris gives Team Amazon a camel, Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot a goat, and Team Victory a stick. LeShawna questions why the team that made it past the finish line last got the better award and the team that made it past the finish line first got the worst reward, but Chris tells her that he will explain it in the next episode. After this, he signs off the episode.

Trivia
Note: Tyler was trying to be with Alejandro, Bridgette and Lindsay, but due to being stung by a scorpion and falling off the pyramid, as well as being hit by a sign and falling off of the pyramid, Tyler fell too far behind to be with them, but still arrived shortly after them.

 * This episode, along with its successor, is the second two-part episode in the series, the first was Not So Happy Campers - Part 1 and Not So Happy Campers - Part 2. (If you don't count Mutiny on the Soundstage and The Aftermath: IV as a two-part episode).
 * This is the first episode the Total Drama Jumbo Jet is used to travel to different locations. This is also the first episode the Total Drama Jumbo Jet is seen flying.
 * The contestants seen in the confessional for this episode were LeShawna, Heather, Alejandro and Cody.
 * The song from this episode is Come Fly With Us, which is a parody of Frank Sinatra's song, Come Fly With Me.
 * Sierra reveals Cody's full name, Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson. She also reveals that Cody was born on April 1st.
 * This is the third time a contestant's full name is revealed. The first was Harold in One Flu Over the Cuckoos (real name Harold Norbert Cheever Doris McGrady V), and the second was DJ in The Sand Witch Project (real name Devon Joseph).
 * This also makes Cody currently the only contestant whose birthday is known.
 * The only people that had a solo during Come Fly With Us were:
 * Alejandro
 * Ezekiel
 * Gwen
 * Duncan
 * Courtney
 * Bridgette
 * Harold
 * Izzy
 * Cody

 * Alejandro, Bridgette, and Lindsay (Over; second team to arrive).
 * Duncan, Courtney, and Gwen (Over; sixth to arrive).
 * Tyler (Over; third to arrive).
 * DJ, LeShawna, and Harold (Under; first team to arrive).
 * Owen, Noah, and Izzy (Under; Owen and Noah were fourth to arrive, Izzy was last to arrive, along with Ezekiel).
 * Sierra, Heather, and Cody (Under; fifth to arrive).
 * Ezekiel (Under; last to arrive, along with Izzy).
 * However, Izzy was separated from Owen and Noah, and eventually left the pyramid with Ezekiel.
 * The majority of these mini-teams, as well as most of the contestants overall, went "Under" the pyramid.
 * The booby-trap that Sierra accidentally set off could be considered a reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark.
 * If this is the case, then this would be the second reference to an Indiana Jones film in the series; the first, coincidentally, was in the previous episode.
 * This episode marks the fifth time in the series that someone speaks in Spanish; in this case, Alejandro. The first was Chris in Who Can You Trust?, the second was Geoff in X-Treme Torture, the third time was Izzy in Full Metal Drama, and the fourth time was Duncan in Super Hero-ld.
 * This episode marks the first time that someone has cursed in this season (Alejandro).
 * This is the second time in the series that Chris has hit Owen in the head with something. The first time was in Paintball Deer Hunter.
 * This is the first time in the Total Drama series that a contestant has been eliminated in the very first episode of the season, as the other two were either an introductory episode or a reward challenge.
 * This marks the first time Courtney has kicked some one besides Duncan below the belt. In this case, Cody (although it was an accident, and she was completely unaware that she had done it).
 * This is the first episode since Not So Happy Campers - Part 2 that Ezekiel has been part of the Total Drama series as a competitor (even though he was not considered a contestant for most of the episode).
 * It is unknown if this episode was a reward or elimination due to Duncan quitting before the challenge was over. This episode could be considered a reward challenge because after the teams were formed, Chris gave them items that would be used in the next challenge. Another probability is that Chris gave the chosen teams the power to choose their own team names as a reward for finishing the "Pyramid Over and Under" challenge.
 * The scorpion was the first animal to appear in this episode and the first animal to appear in Total Drama World Tour (besides the animals in the title).
 * The episode marks the first time in the Total Drama series where there are three teams, instead of two.
 * The dance that LeShawna did while singing Come Fly With Us was the same dance she did in Beach Blanket Bogus during the tie breaking dance challenge.
 * This is the fifth episode that revealed that someone was allergic to something. The first was LeShawna in If You Can't Take The Heat... saying she's allergic to pineapples, the second episode was Who Can You Trust? when Harold said he was allergic to apples, the third was LeShawna again, revealing she's lactose intolerant in One Flu Over The Cuckoos, and the fourth was Courtney in Dial M for Merger when she revealed that she was also lactose intolerant.
 * Noah shows his dislike for Harold again when Harold was explaining Owen's fear of heights, Noah replied "Keep up the fascinating facts and I'll go aeronauseac all over you." This is the fourth time in the series overall.

Goofs

 * Lindsay's Name Goof: Lindsay calls Tyler "Alejandro" in this episode, although it was most likely due to the fact that Alejandro had charmed her, and not because she had forgotten Tyler's name.
 * On the human pyramid in the theme song, the wind is shown blowing two ways.
 * Twice, Ezekiel is seen with the other contestants when he was supposedly supposed to still be in the cargo hold.
 * The first time was before they all begin to sing, when he was at the table with them. But he is later seen in another room with his bag after he was thrown out the door, singing his own solo.
 * He was also seen before the pyramid challenge, as Chris is carried up to the cast outside the Jet. But when he runs up to Chris at the starting line, Chris asks how he caught up with them.
 * Also, he is seen running into the pyramid with the other contestants, though is seen without the group in a later scene, as he comes into the pyramid like he was left behind or lost.
 * When Sierra came off of the bus, she disappeared and then reappeared.
 * DJ states that Owen is afraid of flying, and throughout the flight Owen begins to freak out, but he faced his fear of flying in Phobia Factor and shows no fear of flying in Full Metal Drama. In addition, Izzy also had a fear of flying, but shows no sign of it whatsoever, but when she faced her fear it is possible that she actually got over her fear.
 * Although Owen technically only made it through the flying challenge, it doesn't mean he totally conquered his fear.
 * When Izzy gets off the bus, she doesn't have a backpack. But when she is standing in a group with all of the other contestants, she does.
 * In the dining area, when Chris shows it to the contestants, at first there is only one table, but later on, another table seems to appear. Someone could have simply added a table in the meantime, though, as a possibility.
 * In Rock n' Rule, Lindsay is shown to have a bad singing voice, however in this episode, she has a normal one.
 * In the shot where Tyler is hit in the face by the pole Bridgette lifts up, he is wearing a backpack. However, he is not seen wearing a backpack either before or after this moment during the challenge.
 * When Chris tells Alejandro who he gets on his team, he first declares Tyler when he lands on the ground in front of them. However, he then says, "And you also get..." a moment before Owen and Noah run out of the pyramid, screaming in terror. Technically, Chris should have had no way of knowing when exactly someone would emerge from the pyramid.
 * When Duncan harmonizes This sucks, his nose ring disappears.
 * Chris mentioned that Sierra had sixteen Total Drama blogs, but in the Total Drama Action special, Sierra says that she has blogs for every single contestant, which would make the number of blogs: twenty-two blogs.
 * When Chris announced the new season and the camera zoomed out, Alejandro was shown to be wearing sunglasses, however he took them off after arriving. It is possible, however, that he put them back on.
 * In this episode Chef is heard complaining about Chris being an idiot because of choosing musical numbers for the season, however in the previous episode, it is seen that Chef is the one that brought up the musical idea, although due to Chef's fake enthusiasm, it was most likely scripted.
 * When Izzy jumps on Ezekiel's shoulders, Ezekiel is missing his goatee.
 * On several instances, it appears that the events of the previous episode never happened, as the contestants' reactions and interactions with the new contestants seem to imply this.
 * When Sierra first approaches Cody, she says that it's her first time meeting Cody. However, she already met him, and even directly spoke to him on several occasions, in the special.
 * Several of the girls' reactions to Alejandro directly contradict their rather bitter feelings towards him in the special due to him attempting to replace them.
 * In the scene where everyone finds out that they have to sing in each episode and are in the plane, when Duncan threatens Harold about beatboxing, Izzy and Noah suddenly disappear, then reappear in the next scene.
 * During Come Fly with Us, Harold is seen with his nun-chuks. However, they were thrown away by Owen in 2008: A Space Owen. It is possible that Harold had another pair, or he somehow managed to retrieve the original pair.
 * Technically, Cody should be on Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot because when Sierra was carrying him, his feet were jutted out, making him cross the finish line before Sierra did. Yet, Sierra was put on the second team.
 * Duncan and Gwen technically did sing before Chris forced them. Although they did not try to hit notes, they still talked to a beat and rhymed in their defense.
 * Owen is the only contestant who doesn't sing during the musical number and yet Chris does not eliminate him.
