'''With the competition over, and Owen winning the money, the campers are heading home, or are they? Chris has one final challenge for all of the contestants, forcing them to be in teams. However, there is only one way this last challenge can end.'''

Recap
The campers are all having one final get-together before being sent home when Chris arrives and offers the campers one final challenge: a race to find a suitcase containing one million dollars. Their challenge is to locate the case that contains one million dollars and bring it back to the Dock of Shame. To compete, Owen has to forfeit the $100,000 he just won. After a moment of consideration, Owen agrees to give it up in order to compete and the game is on. At first, none of the other campers want to go after the case because they are all sick and tired of Chris messing with their heads and insist that there is no way that they will be, as Heather states it, "running around the island like idiots all over again." They finally give in when Chris tells them that Owen is about to win the easiest $1,000,000 in TV history, and Owen's nonstop laughing and cheering for himself in the background finally changes their minds.

All twenty-two teens team up: LeShawna teams up with Gwen and Trent; Justin temporarily teams up with Katie and Sadie; Bridgette and Geoff pair (making out with each other many times during the episode); Owen teams up with Cody, Tyler and DJ; Lindsay and Beth join up with Ezekiel (as long as he doesn't act sexist toward them); Duncan pairs up with Courtney and Noah joins forces with Izzy and Eva (Izzy later renamed herself Kaleidoscope, nicknamed E-Scope). Heather is left without a partner (since nobody trusts her), but she eventually teams up with Harold (and fakes to be his friend.)

Justin eventually gets sick of Katie and Sadie's nonstop chattering, and ditches them in a cave, using the excuse that he needed to go to the bathroom and wanted some privacy. Owen, Cody, DJ, and Tyler are the first to find the case, hanging from a tree branch. After Tyler retrieves it, they start to lose trust in each other, saying that whoever has to hold the case could easily ditch them and make off with the money. Cody then uses the rope that tied the case to the tree branch to tie the four of them together, so that they won't be separated, but then Owen has to use the bathroom. While Owen is doing his business, Harold swipes the case for himself and Heather. Harold makes a glider, but Heather turns on him by smacking him in the groin with the case, and then takes the glider and the case for herself (only to have the whole glider fall apart in her hands). She then falls, head first, into a beaver dam and gets slapped repeatedly by the beavers (LeShawna, Gwen and Trent run by, but they refuse to help her), while the case, having fallen out of her hands, bounces into the river and floats downstream.

After Chris announces over the intercom that "the case is wet," Lindsay figures out the clue, and she and her team race into the lake. Moments later, it floats right up to them, only to be snatched out of Lindsay's grip by Duncan with a fishing pole. As Courtney encourages him (although she is more yelling at him rather than encouraging him), he reels the case up to them, only for it to be eaten by an alligator, with Duncan questioning why there are alligators in Muskoka. The camera zooms out to show the image on a TV screen with Chef and Chris watching, where it is revealed that Chef was the one who put alligators in the lake. At Courtney's further encouragement, Duncan jumps in to attack the alligator for the case, in the process chasing Ezekiel, Lindsay, and Beth out of the water. He wrestles with the alligator and manages to retrieve the case. But just as they start off towards the Dock of Shame, Duncan sprains his ankle and is unable to continue on without help. But Courtney simply leaves him behind, saying that she can't have him slowing her down. However, Izzy falls out of a tree and lands on top of Courtney as she is running off, causing the case to fly out of Courtney's hands and into Izzy's. After Eva races by, Noah also walks by Duncan and starts to taunt him because Courtney left him behind, resulting in Duncan attacking Noah and snatching his pants.

Still in the cave, Katie and Sadie eventually get into an argument over which one Justin likes more (even though he hates them both), and finally leave the cave. Courtney quickly chases after the trio with the case, although they manage to fool her by hiding behind a bush as she races by, then doubling back. She continues running, and eventually slams right into a wall that simply has a forest background painted onto it. She notices a camera at the top of the wall, and knows something is wrong. Initially, Chris and Chef ignore her yelling into the camera, even muting her. However, it is when Courtney starts to climb up the wall when Chris takes action, dispatching Chef on an ATV to intercept her. However, she successfully scales the wall before he reaches her, and instantly discovers that the island was close to civilization all along, seeing a drive-thru restaurant not thirty feet away. When she attempts to make contact with the outside world, a nearby cameraman in a hot-air balloon attempts to stop her, dropping a boom onto her head. However, the plan instantly backfires, as Courtney is able to use the boom wire to drag the balloon down to her. She climbs up into it, chasing the cameraman out, and hijacks the balloon. She then starts to head off towards the campgrounds.

Meanwhile, Izzy, Eva, and Noah encounter Justin. At first, they are determined to hold their ground and not give up the case, knowing that it's a trap and that Justin has "powers." After an exchange of heated words, Justin overpowers the willpower of Eva and Izzy by taking off his shirt. Both girls succumb to his gorgeous looks, and Izzy gives him the case. When Noah attempts to take it back, Eva trips him. A satisfied Justin then leaves. Both girls break out of their trance almost instantly, and Noah scolds both of them for what they have just done. After Chris announces over the intercom that "the case is somewhere beautiful, and heading towards camp," the two girls vow to get revenge on Justin.

Meanwhile, Geoff and Bridgette are trying to find the case, but are too distracted by each other and are constantly making out. At one point, Bridgette accidentally knocks Geoff off a cliff. Elsewhere, a very beaten-up Heather, having finally escaped the angry beavers, encounters Harold yet again, as he pulls up alongside her by the river in a canoe. She at first doesn't want to be with him, as she is angry at "being pushed off a cliff," "being attacked by beavers," "being left to die" (courtesy of Gwen, Trent, and LeShawna), and "losing a million dollars." But Harold is determined to help her, thus having a heart-to-heart talk with her, in which she reveals that she doesn't like being mean, but it's like a habit. Harold understands, and once again offers to let her re-join their alliance, for a 60/40 split, threatening to let her take the alternative of walking five kilometers back to camp, and with the beavers probably still out to get her. She commends his extortion skills, then agrees.

Justin then runs into Owen, DJ, Tyler, and Cody. Due to Cody's ingenuity, they manage to get the case back, trampling Justin in the process. They eventually run right up to the top of the 1,000-foot cliff, and are chased off the edge by the bear. As they are falling, they are somewhat saved when Owen's ankle becomes entangled in the boom wire, still dangling from Courtney's balloon, but are now at Courtney's mercy. Courtney demands the case, admitting that she would be willing to let all four of them fall to their deaths if it meant getting the case back. Cody tries to convince his team to do as she says, but they refuse, and Owen heroically manages to reach up and grab the wire, then pull his team up to the relative safety of near the balloon basket. He then untangles his ankle. Just when they thought they've outsmarted Courtney, she attempts to brush them off by flying right through a tree, but only succeeds in getting the bear's ankle entangled in the boom wire, just as Owen's was. The angry bear starts climbing up the wire towards the basket.

Meanwhile, Geoff and Bridgette (after the former's painful experience with the cliff) are walking through the woods and encounter a baby moose, attempting to reach a branch that is too high up for it. Geoff decides to help it by lowering the branch, but Bridgette's natural clumsiness causes her to trip right into Geoff, knocking him on top of the moose. The baby's mother then appears, and, seeing Geoff on top of its baby, is enraged, and starts to chase Geoff and Bridgette.

Meanwhile, Chef, on his ATV, drives up to Gwen, Trent, and LeShawna (who have had no luck in the competition so far), and asks if they've seen the balloon. He explains the situation, including how Courtney technically has the case and is on her way to finish line. Both he and Gwen then believe that Courtney will definitely win. While Chef is talking, LeShawna picks up a small log nearby and knocks Chef out with it, hijacking the ATV, and taking Gwen and Trent with her. Elsewhere, Katie and Sadie are walking through the woods, still mad at each other and (poorly) attempting to ignore each other. Geoff and Bridgette then race by, still being pursued by the angry moose. They tell Katie and Sadie to run as they race by, and they comply, joining in the dangerous chase.

Courtney's balloon starts to float into the campgrounds. Owen, Cody, DJ, and Tyler manage to climb into the basket with Courtney just before the bear can reach them. However, this only puts them in more danger, as Courtney puts an unfortunate Cody into a headlock and demands the case from them, saying that she got them into the campgrounds. When his teammates refuse, Cody once again attempts to suggest a compromise, only for the others to refuse fiercely. Harold and Heather arrive in the campgrounds shortly after, and see the hot-air balloon with Owen, Cody, DJ, Tyler, Courtney, the bear, and the case all inside. They quickly abandon the canoe and race into the campgrounds, only for Gwen, Trent, and LeShawna to emerge from the woods on their ATV. LeShawna, seeing Heather, decides to get back at her for insulting her earlier that day, and revs up the ATV. Trent suggests to Gwen that they get off, and both of them do so just before LeShawna starts to race off towards Heather and Harold. She eventually chases them right off the Dock of Shame and into the lake, ATV and all.

In the Boathouse, Izzy suits up Noah and Eva with paintball equipment and buckets of fish water (with one actually having a dead fish in it) so they can bring down Justin. The three of them hide behind the Communal Washrooms, waiting for Justin. They see Geoff, Bridgette, Katie, Sadie, and the moose race by, and quickly retreat. Meanwhile, the four who are being chased by the moose see the massive diving board platform over the pool of green jell-o (which had been set up for Courtney in "Phobia Factor"), and decide to use it to escape the moose. As they climb up to the safety of the incredibly high diving board, Duncan finally returns. He sees them on the diving board, and asks what they're doing up there. They point at the moose, which quickly turns to attack him. It chases him into the main lodge, and after a brief moment, he ends up fooling the moose and chasing it away, by taking a stuffed moose head from the mantle of the fireplace in the main lodge, holding it in front of him, and making sounds like an actual moose. As he chases it into the woods, Courtney, up in the hot-air balloon, cheers him on, only for him to threaten her by saying that he's coming for her next.

Shortly after this, Bridgette sees the hot-air balloon heading straight for the diving board. Since Courtney was too busy holding Cody, she wasn't paying attention to where the balloon was going. Only when it's too late do the five inside the balloon realize what is about to happen. That, combined with the fact that the bear has finally reached the basket and is starting to climb in, leaves the guys' group with no choice except to jump for it. However, as they jump, Courtney finally manages to snatch the case from their hands as they fall, and they land on the diving board below, causing it to wobble dangerously. Courtney at first seems to have finally won, but then notices the bear in the basket right behind her. She quickly abandons ship, jumping and also landing on the diving board, only for the eight other campers on the board with her to try to reach for the case in her hands. As they fight over it, LeShawna appears from nowhere, and attempts to get the case herself. When she climbs up to the board, Geoff holds her up and lifts her over so that she can briefly touch the case. However, it instantly flies out of her hands, falling towards the ground. It hits the edge of the pool below at an angle, and bounces straight towards the Communal Washrooms, where Ezekiel, Lindsay, and Beth are just walking out of. Lindsay picks up the case, but Justin swoops in on Chef's plane (after he used his looks and an autographed photo of himself to get the keys from Chef) and jumps down to them. His now pilot-less plane spirals out of control, eventually flying straight through the support beams for the diving board before crashing. The diving board, with Geoff, Bridgette, Katie, Sadie, LeShawna, Courtney, Cody, DJ, Tyler, and Owen still on it, starts to teeter dangerously. As Justin lands next to Lindsay, his parachute falls behind him and covers Ezekiel and Beth, preventing them from stopping Justin, who easily manages to convince Lindsay to give him the case. However, Izzy appears from behind the Washrooms, and yells up to Eva and Noah, on the roof of the building, to "fire". They dump their buckets on Justin, covering him in disgusting fish water, and landing a dead fish in his hair. As he freaks out over the well-being of his hair, Izzy runs up with an empty bucket, shoves it on his head, then snatches the case from him and races towards the Dock. However, she inexplicably trips and falls, with the case falling out of her hands and bouncing off towards the Dock of Shame on its own.

It is in this moment where everything starts to fall apart. Izzy quickly gets back to her feet and chases after the case. Gwen and Trent race by Lindsay, Justin (still with a bucket on his head and starting to walk away aimlessly), Beth (now outside Justin's parachute), and Ezekiel (still under Justin's parachute), and also chase after the case. Lindsay and Beth quickly follow them. Meanwhile, the diving board finally falls off of its support beams. While Katie, Courtney, Sadie, Cody, and Tyler all fall into the pool of green jell-o below, Owen, DJ, LeShawna, Geoff, and Bridgette remain on the diving board, which then slides off of the edge of the pool at an angle and continues sliding along the ground, towards the Dock, at super speed. Meanwhile, the moose (after having presumably defeated Duncan) rides in, with Duncan on its back, and also races towards the Dock. The diving board with the five campers on it slide past Justin, but snag his parachute, which is still dragging behind him, and drag him off towards the Dock as well. As the moose rides onto the Dock and bucks Duncan off its back and into the water, the diving board group slides by, heading straight for Izzy, Gwen, Trent, Lindsay, Beth, and the case just as they are all right on the end of the Dock. These eleven campers instantly collide at once, along with Heather and Harold (while the latter was helping the former out of the water after the previous attack by LeShawna), and all thirteen of them end up in the lake (along with Duncan, who was already in the water). As these fourteen emerge on the surface, the briefcase is floating by itself in the water, until a shark rises up beneath it and swallows it. The seagull with the fragment of net wrapped around its neck points and laughs at the campers' misfortune, until the same shark also eats it. Chris then arrives in a helicopter, and is disappointed that the campers lost the case. He then tells the fourteen of them the bad news: they all tied. So in order to break this tie, they will all have to return for season two. While some campers (such as Harold, Lindsay, and Izzy) are excited, most of the campers (including Heather, Duncan, and Gwen) object, but Chris tells them about the fine print in their contracts, which forces them to compete in the next season anyway. He then tells Ezekiel, Courtney, Katie, Sadie, Noah, Eva, Cody and Tyler that they have now lost all hope for winning, but they will be joining the cast on the side lines. Chris then tells the returning campers to report to an abandoned movie lot in two days. He then tells viewers to join in for "Total Drama Action." The episode then ends after showing some scenes from Total Drama Action (although the American one simply showed a new teaser for Total Drama Action).

 * Izzy: (eats another marshmallow) Ninety-five! (burp) (crushes can on forehead)
 * Harold: (in confessional) Yeah, me and LeShawna are pretty tight. We'll probably move in together when we're thirty... I'd have to ask my mom first. She'll probably give us the basement.
 * Courtney: I am so done with this game. I lost the competition, my pathetic lawyer lost my lawsuit. Now I just want to go home, study for my LSATs and run my student president campaign.
 * LeShawna: (in confessional, referring to drawing a happy face on the back of Heather's bald head) Okay, you know you'd done the same thing if you were me. After all that girl did to the rest of us over the last eight weeks, she's lucky I didn't tattoo it on her head!
 * Courtney: (in confessional, referring to a million dollar prize just announced) Okay, this just got interesting again.

 * Heather: (referring to Lindsay and Beth teaming up with Ezekiel) You're bringing home-school with you but not me?!

 * Heather: (nicely to Gwen, Trent and LeShawna) Hey guys, I realize that we've had our minor differences, but what do you say we team up? We're the four strongest players. Together we'd be unstoppable.
 * Noah: How many square hectares is this island again? It's hopeless
 * Noah: Okay, is it me or is Izzy just one crazy bird?
 * (Lindsay, Beth and Ezekiel walk under a tree with the million dollar suitcase tied to it)
 * Katie: (To Sadie) You don't think Justin goes #2, do you?

Beth: So if we win, what would you guys do with your $333,333.33? Lindsay: Is that enough to buy a country? Ezekiel: Yeah, but just a small one, eh. Lindsay: Oh! France is small, right? Ezekiel: (Pointing at the case, which is floating up to them) Hey! Isn't that the case?! Lindsay: That's it! Beth: We found it! Lindsay: (Picking up the case from the water) Oh my gosh! I'm so going to be the queen of France! EEE, hee-hee-hee-hee! (A fishing line flies up, snags the case by the handle, and yanks it out of Lindsay's hands and off-screen. Beth and Ezekiel are shocked, but Lindsay smiles.) Oh! It's a flying case!

 * (Courtney pulls down the hot air balloon with a cameraman in it)
 * Heather: (to Harold) You know what? So far today, I've been thrown off a cliff by you, attacked by beavers, left to die, and I lost one million dollars which I'm really hoping to get back, so I really don't have time for your Harold-ness right now!

 * Bridgette: I'm so sorry I knocked you off the cliff...
 * Geoff: (sigh) Bridgette is really amazing! She's so sweet and pretty and down to earth! I'm afraid she's gonna accidentally kill me by the end of the day.

Trivia

 * Title Reference: This episode's title is parodied to the comedy film, "It's a Mad, Mad, Mad, Mad World!".
 * The content of the episode, is partially relative to the comedy movie, "Rat Race," where a group of strangers go on pursuit to retrieve a large amount of hidden money.


 * All dialog edits to this episode can be found on the Edits page.


 * Lindsay has a cellphone in this episode.
 * Chris, Lindsay and Coutney are the only ones seen with a cellphone in the entire series.
 * This marks the first time since Not So Happy Campers - Part 1 that all of the characters in season one have dialogue, mainly because there are only two episodes where Justin talks.
 * This is the first time Tyler has any lines since Phobia Factor.
 * This is the second time in Total Drama Island that Izzy has yelled like Tarzan. The other episode was No Pain, No Game.


 * Harold tells Heather that he is "alone by choice" when she asks why he does not have a teammate. However, Harold did try to join some teams for this episode.
 * Harold also said he wasn't "always this cool," but he seems unpopular with some other contestants and wound up getting the final marshmallow three times throughout the series. He most likely imagines that he has become cooler over the years, he says this after he gave the two reasons she was mean being either her parents were divorced or she was fat and pimply and when she asked why he knew so much implying his parents may be divorced.
 * When talking to Heather, Harold begins to mention "this one time at computer camp" which is a possible parody of the quote "This one time at band camp" from American Pie.
 * It is unknown if this a "Steve" camp, as Harold mentions being in many camps run by a man named Steve in Total Drama Action.


 * This is the second time Sadie and Katie have an argument. The first time was in The Sucky Outdoors.


 * Chris is now using a gun with a cork bullet to start the race; this is probably due to an earlier shooting in Up The Creek where he shot an eagle and said it would provoke some angry e-mails (although he would end up shooting a Seagull in this episode anyway).


 * Tyler actually succeeds at an athletic activity (he climbed the tree and got the case), although it did take him a while.


 * Owen and Izzy act like they never had a relationship, even though they were kissing at the end of the last episode.
 * According to the website, Izzy's personality causes her to "like a guy one minute, and be ready to throw him off a cliff the next." As a result, it is possible that Izzy had suddenly gotten over Owen. Owen may have also gotten so excited that he forgot that he and Izzy were a couple.


 * The strange thing about Cody, Owen, DJ, and Tyler's group is that all them have had a hallucination or dream shown sometime in the series.
 * Cody's dream was shown in The Big Sleep
 * Tyler's hallucination was shown in The Big Sleep
 * Owen's dream was shown Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon
 * Although it was after this episode, DJ's hallucinations were shown in The Sand Witch Project


 * Izzy unofficially renames herself "E-Scope" (short for "Kaleidoscope"), which is what she would want to change her name to if she won the million dollars, and continued obsessively persuading her team in Total Drama Action to call her E-Scope as well until The Chefshank Redemption, where it was revealed that she used her Kaleidoscope persona to return to the competition later as Izzy on a technicality.


 * Chris says at the beginning of the episode that everyone will get their stuff back, thus explaining what happened to all the luggage that a number of campers did not bring their belongings to the Dock of Shame.


 * LeShawna and Harold officially break up in this episode after LeShawna admits that they were moving way too fast, but the two still remain friends (though Harold is still in love with LeShawna).


 * Heather opens up to Harold after pointing out that her meanness is the cause to her lack of friends.
 * Harold assumes Heather was either "fat and pimply" when she was younger, or that her parents were divorced as a means of explaining why Heather is who she is today. However, it is shown that Heather's parents are still together in the video they made out to her (though they could have been divorced in the past and remarried since, or merely got together briefly to make the video). Coincidentally, on the Total Drama Island Interactive website, Heather's profile claims that her brother told the producers that she was fat and pimply.


 * Owen forfeits his prize money due to taking on the $1,000,000 challenge.


 * It's revealed in this episode that the island is actually not a deserted island (Chris and Chef just used mirrors to keep the campers away from civilization); this contradicts other episodes, where maps of the island are shown and the campers actually cycle around the entire place. Another contradiction is the civil side has cars and highways, yet Trent and DJ didn't see any of the cars moving on the island below when they were in the plane (and saw the whole island). Even at such a high elevation, they should have at least seen some things moving around.


 * The teams in this challenge were:
 * Team 1: LeShawna, Gwen and Trent. (They all make it to Total Drama Action)
 * Team 2: Beth, Lindsay, and Ezekiel. (Beth and Lindsay make it to Total Drama Action)
 * Team 3: Eva, Izzy and Noah. (Only Izzy makes it to Total Drama Action)
 * Team 4: Courtney and Duncan (Courtney ditches him after he sprains his ankle). (Duncan makes it to Total Drama Action, but Courtney returns later on)
 * Team 5: Cody, DJ, Owen and Tyler. (DJ and Owen make it to Total Drama Action)
 * Team 6: Heather and Harold. (They both make it to Total Drama Action)
 * Team 7: Justin, Katie and Sadie (Justin ditches them for being too annoying). (Only Justin makes it to Total Drama Action)
 * Team 8: Bridgette and Geoff. (They both make it to Total Drama Action)


 * The truck driver's design was DJ's prototype design.


 * Harold, Izzy, Owen, DJ, Lindsay and Beth are the only ones who seem happy to be moving on to the second season.


 * Running Gag: Geoff and Bridgette making out.


 * Ezekiel was actually the first to spot the suitcase, but since Lindsay and Beth wanted some girl time, he left it alone.


 * In this episode, Gwen's friends from home are shown in photographs.
 * Gwen's friends bear some resemblance to a group of Goths who were seen in the 6teen episode "Lights Out". Also, she said one of her friends' name was "Marilyn", which was the name of a character in that episode.


 * In this episode, Owen is revealed to be the youngest of three brothers.


 * Owen's assumption that the Bear is just Izzy in a suit is a reference to The Sucky Outdoors.


 * The prototype character model of Duncan (and allegedly Cody) appears as a character for the third time in this episode. His first appearance was in The Sucky Outdoors as the pizza guy, the second time in Who Can You Trust? as a stunt double, and now this time as a cameraman.


 * This episode showcases some of Chris's upgraded facial expressions at the end of the episode while he is telling the losers the bad news.


 * Clues for finding the suitcase:
 * 1) It's just hanging around (tied to a tree branch).
 * 2) It is wet (in the water).
 * 3) It is somewhere beautiful (with Justin).


 * The order that the campers had the case was:
 * Owen, Tyler, DJ and Cody found the case in a tree and caught it.
 * Harold stole it from Owen, Tyler, DJ and Cody for Heather, but Heather ditches Harold.
 * Lindsay, Beth and Ezekiel found the case in the water, but Duncan manages to snag it with a fishing pole.
 * Duncan snatches the case from Lindsay's hands and stole it for Courtney.
 * Izzy falls on Courtney, and stole the case along with Eva and Noah.
 * Justin used "his powers" on Eva and Izzy and stole the case.
 * Cody tricks Justin and stole the case for his team.
 * Courtney (alone) stole the case when Owen, DJ, Tyler and Cody forgot it in the balloon.
 * Bridgette, Geoff, Katie, Sadie, Owen, Cody, DJ, Tyler, Courtney all tried to reach for the case Courtney had.
 * LeShawna goes up the diving board, grabs the case, but drops it.
 * Beth found the case that slipped out of LeShawna's hands.
 * Justin used "his powers" again on Lindsay and stole the case.
 * E-Scope stole it with the help of Eva and Noah.
 * E-Scope fell down and lost the case, which ends up bouncing down the Dock of Shame and eaten by a shark.
 * Trent and Gwen never had the case.
 * The non-returning contestants for Total Drama Action were kept from the case in one of three ways.
 * Courtney, Cody, Tyler, Katie, and Sadie all fell into the pool of green jell-o.
 * Eva and Noah were on the roof of the Communal Washrooms when the case started bouncing off towards the Dock.
 * Ezekiel was covered by Justin's parachute.
 * Overall, the seven campers who never had the case at all were Katie, Sadie, Geoff, Bridgette, Gwen, Trent, and (technically) LeShawna. Despite this, five of them still qualified for Total Drama Action, anyway.
 * Overall, Tyler, Owen, DJ, and Cody's team had the case for the longest amount of time (even though only DJ and Owen made it to the next season).
 * The non-returning campers may have learned something during their experience on the show.
 * Eva: Is now in control of her temper.
 * Cody: His brilliant tactics were able to keep a team together (even when money was involved); he managed to outsmart Justin.
 * Ezekiel: Was redeemed for his sexist comments about girls (and even befriended Beth and Lindsay).
 * Katie and Sadie: Were able to remain friends even through another fight.
 * Noah: Was redeemed for his earlier laziness and snottiness in the series (and befriended other campers).
 * Tyler: Accomplished some sort of athletic feat by climbing a tree (even if it took three attempts).
 * Courtney: Will eventually win a lawsuit to return to Total Drama Action as a competitor.
 * Izzy makes a reference to her dating Justin, as she informs Eva not to look into his eyes, for he "has powers".
 * It's revealed that Courtney loses her lawsuit for "unfair termination." However, she returns to Total Drama Action in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine.
 * In the previous episode, Owen said his party would be the following week. In this episode Chris said the party was in the winter.
 * The chain of events that led to 14 campers in the water was: Cody, Tyler, Katie, Sadie, and Courtney falling into jell-o and Owen, DJ, LeShawna, Geoff, and Bridgette sliding down on the diving board. Duncan is riding on a moose, heading towards the Dock of Shame. At the same time, Gwen, Trent, Beth, Izzy, and Lindsay are chasing after the case on foot. The diving board snags Justin's parachute, dragging him along, too. Duncan gets thrown off the moose into the water, while the diving board (and the six on it) collide with the five already on the Dock, and these eleven hit Harold and Heather, who were already on the Dock.
 * Courtney, long after the events of Phobia Factor in which her fear of green jelly was made apparent (and was too afraid to conquer her fear by diving into a pool of it) ended up having to fall into said pool anyway, twenty episodes afterward, but whether she's still afraid of green jelly or not is unknown. She may have gotten over her fear by this point.
 * A portion of Justin's confession when he admitted that he uses his looks to his advantage (really, really, ridiculously good-looking) is actually a line from the movie Zoolander.
 * Justin is much more devious and underhanded in this episode; this may be due to the fact he got voted off so early in Not Quite Famous. It also foreshadows his role as an antagonist in Total Drama Action.
 * This is the only episode of Total Drama Island that was not censored in any way by Cartoon Network.
 * In the previous episode, Owen said that his party would be on a yacht, but it was at Playa De Losers (although it is possible that this wasn't the real party, just a gathering of all the campers before they head home).
 * Many things used are similar or the same of past episodes:
 * When Izzy, Eva and Noah are getting dressed up in the boathouse, the outfits they are wearing look like the ones from Paintball Deer Hunter.
 * When Harold and Heather were in the canoe riding up the creek, it is the same canoe from Up the Creek, and Basic Straining.
 * When Owen, Tyler, DJ and Cody were attacked by the bear, there was a similar attack that the bear did in The Big Sleep and Paintball Deer Hunter.
 * When the Moose attacks Geoff, it is similar to what another moose (or maybe the same) did in X-Treme Torture.
 * When many characters were fighting for the case, they were above the jell-o pool from Phobia Factor.
 * A few scenes from this episode are used in the trailer for Total Drama Action;
 * The scene where Courtney is scaling the wall but gets hit on the head by a cameraman's boom.
 * The scene where Courtney hits the painted wall.
 * The expression Noah had when Duncan pulled down his pants is the same as the expression he had when kissing Cody's ear in The Big Sleep.
 * This is the first (and only) episode that Noah and Justin have used the confessional in Total Drama Island.
 * This is the second episode in which Geoff and Bridgette don't stop kissing, the first was in Haut Camp-ture.
 * We learn Harold has a sister who owns psychology books, possibly for college.
 * In the scene where the hot-air balloon is about to crash into the diving board, and the bear is starting to climb in, it is Tyler who first suggests that the guys' team jumps for it. While Owen initially disagrees, Cody is the one who agrees with Tyler and ultimately convinces the entire team to jump. Thus, Tyler and Cody were the ones who ultimately saved the lives of the entire group, and yet, ironically, these were the two members of the group who did not qualify for Total Drama Action. The two who had disagreed with the idea of jumping, Owen and DJ, were the ones who qualified.
 * This is the fourth episode to feature all twenty-two contestants, the other three were Not So Happy Campers Part 1, Not So Happy Campers Part 2, and The Very Last Episode, Really.
 * This episode has the most voice actors of the series.

Goofs

 * Lindsay's Name Goof(s): Lindsay calls Heather "Hannah" in this episode, despite always getting her name right throughout the season. Since she is on bad terms with Heather, she might have done this on purpose.


 * When Justin flies in with the parachute to Lindsay, he covers Ezekiel and Beth with the parachute. Later, Beth appears to be outside of the parachute while Ezekiel is still inside (though she may have simply lifted it and escaped).


 * When Bridgette accidentally knocks over Geoff, he gets a bump on his head. However, when they are running to the ladder, it's gone. This could be viewed as a one-off joke, though.


 * When Courtney kisses Duncan and he widens his eyes in happiness, his uni-brow is suddenly two eyebrows (this also happens at various times throughout the episode).


 * Justin's parachute falls and covers Ezekiel (hence why he was unable to make it to the dock), but in the next scene he is walking away and it is still attached to him without Ezekiel. It is possible Ezekiel escaped and ran off looking for his team.


 * Right before the diving board falls, Owen, DJ, Cody, and Tyler are seen still tied together, but after it falls, the rope is suddenly gone, and the four are separated. Seeing as the rope had held all four up when hanging over the cliff edge, it seems unlikely that the rope would have broken then (or since they fell downward, they may have just fallen out).


 * LeShawna chases Harold and Heather into the water by driving the ATV off the dock (thus landing in the water). But when she runs back to get the case, she shows no signs of ever being wet.


 * The colossal one million dollar check noticeably changes size; when it first appears, it blots out the sun and the top of it seems a good couple of hundred feet above the ground. The second time Chris says "ONE... MILLION... DOLLARS!", the top of it only seems to hit about fifty, judging by Courtney, Duncan, Lindsay, Beth and the palm tree's close proximity to it.


 * When Izzy gets Eva and Noah to suit up, Noah's pants are suddenly back on. Though Noah might have found his pants lying on the ground since Duncan threw them off-screen; or he might have just gotten another pair of pants.


 * When the campers run into each other, several of them are wearing swimsuits. When they get out of the pile, all of their swimsuits are gone and they are back in their regular clothes.
 * Courtney's hair is in the style it is when she's wearing a swimsuit, but when they get out of the pile, her hair is back to normal.


 * Heather still has a bald head as of this episode, but her wig does not appear and her head is round as opposed to the flat dome she had the previous episode. Due to the time gap between the season finale and this special, it is likely an upgrade in design to make her head look more realistic, as there are upgraded expressions for most characters in Total Drama Action.


 * When Justin, Katie and Sadie are dancing in the pool in front of the Juice Bar, the water only reaches to their ankles, but in Haut Camp-ture, the water is deep enough so Izzy and Sadie can be completely submerged underwater.


 * After the case is eaten by the shark, Chris seems very upset that the million dollars was lost. Yet in the first episode of Total Drama Action, Monster Cash, he states that the million dollars that the fourteen contestants are competing for is the same money that was actually in the case. However, he may have pretended to be upset simply to fool the campers, or there may have never been any money in the case to begin with. It could have been possible that what LeShawna predicted was true, and that is was simply "stuffed with bricks."


 * During the challenge, Duncan hurt his foot and couldn't walk, but he was seen later walking and even running from the moose. It is likely that he may not have sprained it badly.
