Awards Ceremony


 * Refer to this page for stats about the various award ceremonies.

The Awards Ceremony, also known as the Gilded Chris Ceremony, is where the cast mates are eliminated. It is the Total Drama Action equivalent of the Campfire Ceremony from Total Drama Island and the Barf Bag Ceremony from Total Drama World Tour. After a challenge is held, the losing team must head off to the award ceremony, where one or more contestants will not receive an award. That contestant is then eliminated and will have to walk the Walk of Shame and board the Lame-o-sine. Not every challenge ends in sending a team to the elimination ceremony, as there were reward challenges. Instead of having the campers deposit their votes in a ballot or cast their votes in the confessional like the previous season, the votes are cast directly by electronic voting devices. The Awards Ceremony is last seen in Top Dog, where Duncan receives the last Gilded Chris Award of season two.
