Team Victory

Team Victory was one of three opposing teams in Total Drama World Tour. This team was supposedly comprised of the fastest and first contestants to win the first challenge, otherwise known as the victors. This team was formed in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1 and it comprises of LeShawna, Lindsay, Bridgette, Ezekiel, Harold, and DJ. The name was chosen because they believed they would be the fastest, strongest team around, otherwise known as the "victors". But, to date, it's seen as one of the weakest teams in Total Drama history (despite having members that have done well in previous seasons besides Ezekiel), losing every elimination challenge that they competed in, and only winning two reward challenges (Though, one of those wins was actually a tie with Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot ). Their team logo is a golden trophy with a gold background. They are allegedly cursed due to DJ's mishap with a mummified dog in Egypt, however, as well as possibly simply due to their name.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2, they were lost in the desert in their attempt to reach the Nile River. Harold, in his anger, broke the stick to pieces on his knee, but then discovered that it was a divining rod. This led them straight to the River, where they quickly built their basket and paddled across. On the way, Ezekiel, left with the responsibility of guarding the stick, attempted to fend off one of the attacking crocodiles with the stick, only for the crocodile to eat it. His team did not find out until they reached the finish line, when he was forced to tell them that he lost it. In the aftermath, and the moments before the elimination ceremony, several members of the team strongly expressed their anger towards Ezekiel for his performance, namely Harold and LeShawna. In the Confessionals, both of them were seen firmly stamping Ezekiel's passport with angry looks. Bridgette also voted off Ezekiel, but Lindsay's vote was useless as she stamped everyone's several times. Ezekiel voted off DJ, but DJ's vote was unknown (he was seen to be torn between Harold, Bridgette, and Ezekiel), although it did not matter, since Ezekiel had two more votes than the other contestant. With a majority of the votes against him, Ezekiel was officially voted out from the competiton.

In Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan, the team placed second in the Human Pinball challenge, and thus got to pick their props from the cargo hold second. DJ ended up hurting his panda partner multiple times in the episode, making him feel guilty, even to the point where he stated that he wanted to go home. Even though they were not present at the time, former member Ezekiel was briefly seen hiding in the cargo hold. Their commercial for Chef's new candy featured Harold as a wise sensei, and the other four members as weary, traveling beggars. During the commercial, DJ deliberately stood still and did absolutely nothing, even with Bridgette nudging him and telling him to say his lines, in hopes that his team would lose the challenge, and they would vote him off for it. When they did lose the challenge, his plan was working, as Bridgette was seen angrily voting him off in the Confessional. He also voted for himself, making this the third time in the series someone has done so. Lindsay ended up not voting at all due to her stupidity. LeShawna was seen to be torn between DJ and Harold, but was not seen actually voting, as was Harold. Still, DJ received the most votes and was about to be eliminated. But Harold, blaming himself for his team's loss, quit in his place and threw himself from the Jet without a parachute.

In Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, the person who has to pull their sled was DJ. LeShawna was the first to board the sled then they found Lindsay. DJ was crying about his mama which annoyed Lindsay and LeShawna. DJ ended having his tears frozen and not being able to see, resulting in him hitting a baby seal and making it fall off the ice. When Lindsay tell him what he did, LeShawna lies to him and says that the baby seal climbed back onto the ice and was okay and Lindsay made seal noises to make it believable. The team ends up getting to the finish line first and thought they easily won, but unfortunately since Bridgette was stuck to a pole, she never got on the sled with them, so they lost for the third time in a row. At the elimination, Bridgette was voted off for making the team lose, and when she was offered last words, she tried to explain to her team that Alejandro is evil and to watch out for him, but they couldn't understand her and were therefore unaware of the critical information.

In Broadway, Baby!, in the losers' section, DJ is worried about being just three members on their team, but Lindsay motivates the other two into trying their hardest to win challenges. On the Statue of Liberty, DJ took the baby carriage. DJ had to bring the huge apple from the water to the team, and he was attacked by turtles. He threw one of them and it fell on a bigger turtle's mouth, who ate it. This saddens DJ. During the race, Lindsay was the baby. During What's Not To Love, LeShawna and DJ did a horrible dance break, which angers Lindsay. After the race throughout Central Park, the team lost to Team Amazon. But they came in second, which was enough to cheer them up and Chris congratulates them about the fact that they didn't lose. However, it was a reward challenge, meaning there was no benefit in achieving second place.

In Slap Slap Revolution, in the losers' section, Owen makes a joke about they always lose challenges, and DJ is still worried about his curse, and LeShawna tells him that if he believes in it, it will affect him more. When a hole opens in the plane, Lindsay and DJ save Owen while LeShawna close the hole. And a seagull stands on DJ, which scares him about his curse again. When Chris throw the castmates off the plane, Alejandro saves LeShawna and they flirt during the song Eine Kleine. During the first challenge, DJ accidentally throws the seagull to the meat grinder. The team makes their sausage and they finish second in the race down the hill, during this, DJ threw a baby goat to a tree. In the dance challenge, DJ and LeShawna do it. At first, DJ had to face Sierra, but Sierra kicks him quickly after Cody loses. LeShawna beats Noah and moves to the next round, and Heather warns her about Alejandro, but LeShawna doesn't believe in her. LeShawna faces Heather in the second round and LeShawna throws Heather off the platform, but she angrily jumps too and slaps Heather to the point to make her lose one tooth. Because of this, Team Victory lost the challenge and they ended up having to go to their fourth elimination ceremony. LeShawna gets voted off, much to her surprise. Before taking the Drop of Shame, she sees Alejandro and realizes that he was evil. She says "You!" before he pushes her off the plane. Lindsay and DJ eat the peanuts at the end of the episode.

In The Am-AH-Zon Race, they were in first place during the race to Machu Picchu, and, along the way, they got a crate full of bananas, the advantage of having a bar to hang onto on the zipline across the Amazon River, and reached Machu Picchu first and split up and began searching for the golden treasure. They were well ahead of Team Chris, who was forced to sit out and wait for Owen, who had been left behind, to return before they could start searching. And Team Amazon was extremely far behind due to going the wrong way at the fork in the path and being captured by the Zing-Zings. Lindsay found the treasure, and thus won the challenge for their team for the first time. They won immunity, even though it was not necessary, since this episode's elimination was fake. They got to stay in the first-class section for the first time in the season. After being served cookies, Lindsay asks DJ if she can invite Tyler to stay with them. He allows this, to which she kisses him on the cheek before running off to go get Tyler.

In Can't Help Falling in Louvre, Lindsay and DJ must find the pieces of the famous statue, "The Thinker" hidden throughout the Louvre. All along the way, they are pursued relentlessly by the baby seal that DJ ran over four episodes again. They find a good majority of the pieces, and Lindsay must carry all of them, while DJ only carries one small piece. He then notices an Egypt exhibit nearby, and thinks there might be a way to lift his curse in there. Thus, he abandons Lindsay and heads for the exhibit. Lindsay, on her own, manages to find all of the pieces and heads to the glass pyramid court, while DJ finds a mummified dog similar to the one he destroyed. He takes it and hijacks an unattended golf cart and starts racing through the halls. However, the Sasquatchanakwa, the Bear, and the baby seal all start chasing him. Lindsay is putting the finishing touches on their statue, and is about to put the final piece, the head, on the statue. But at that moment, DJ's golf cart crashes into the statue, destroying it. Because it happened, Team Victory lost for a fifth time and ended up facing elimination again. However, since there were only two of them, Chris decided to choose which will go home through a walk-off fashion show, where they must pick one other contestant as their model. DJ, with every intention to lose and go home since the mummified dog was destroyed in the crash, picks Gwen as his model, while Lindsay chooses Tyler. Both presentations are horrible, but DJ winds up winning, much to his disappointment. Thus, Lindsay is automatically eliminated. She shares one last goodbye with Tyler before jumping out of the Drop of Shame.

In Newf Kids on the Rock, DJ is the only member of Team Victory left. In the economy class section, Tyler is extremely angry at him because Lindsay left the competition due to him winning the tie breaker challenge in the last episode. The other teams try to form an alliance with DJ, mainly Heather and Alejandro. During the challenge, DJ goes alone in his boat, and Heather joins him. DJ doesn't want to do anything, and Chris said that he has to sing, but DJ refuses to do so. In the end, Heather makes him sing in order for him to stay in the competition. At the end of the episode, Alejandro buys DJ's trust, and made him and his team win the reward challenge, and the first class.

In Jamaica Me Sweat, DJ is automatically eliminated for scoring last place in the bobsled race when he soared off the track, which prevented him from finishing his run. Thus, this completely wipes out Team Victory from the competition.

Trivia

 * Team Victory is one of the (if not the) weakest teams in the history of Total Drama, seeing as they have lost almost every challenge in Total Drama World Tour and had every member eliminated before the merge. This team came in last place in all of the team challenges in the season except in Walk Like An Egyptian: Part 1, Broadway, Baby!, The Am-AH-Zon Race, and Newf Kids on the Rock, all of which were non-elimination challenges. This is ironic, due to it being made up of strong competitors and having the term "victory" in its name. This has also been pointed out by Chris McLean on several occasions. Additionally, it is the first team in the entire series to be completely wiped out before the merge of the season.
 * In terms of the actual amount of losses/wins in the season, this team does not have the largest amount of losses of any team so far, most likely due to having so few members, no returning contestants joining this team, and due to being completely eliminated before the merge. Out of the fourteen pre-merge episodes, Team Victory came in dead last in six episodes (one for each member). They came in the half-winner/half-loser place once, and actually won only two episodes.
 * However, this team does hold the record for the least amount of challenge wins, as they won only twice.
 * This makes Team Victory the second-worst team in the series, only behind the Killer Grips.
 * Team Victory was originally the largest team in Total Drama World Tour, with six members, as opposed to the other teams, which had five members each.
 * This is the only team in Total Drama World Tour to originally start out with more than five members (in this case, six), as Team Amazon and Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot had the Izzy/Sierra swap, and Duncan eventually returned and joined the latter team.
 * It is unknown why Ezekiel was put on Team Victory, as he should have been put on Team Amazon for finishing last.
 * Team Victory was the only team in Total Drama World Tour to have an even amount of males and females, with three of each.
 * This is the only team in Total Drama World Tour in which the lowest ranking member is not female.
 * Team Victory was the first team of Total Drama World Tour to be formed. Ironically, it was the first to be disbanded.
 * Lindsay is the only former Killer Grip to be on this team.
 * All members of Team Victory are on the bottom of the human pyramid in the theme song.
 * Team Victory is the first team to lose a challenge in Total Drama World Tour (unless you count the challenge before teams are formed, in which Team Amazon placed last).
 * This is the only team LeShawna has been on without Gwen and Heather. This is also the only team Lindsay has been on without Owen and Izzy. This is the only team DJ and Harold have been on without Duncan.
 * This is also the first time Bridgette has been without Geoff, (because they were together on the Killer Bass, and were eliminated together before the teams were made in Total Drama Action.)
 * This is the second team in the series in which LeShawna was one of the last three members of the team left in the competition before being eliminated. The first was the Screaming Gaffers.
 * On both teams she was the first eliminated out of the three.
 * Team Victory is the third team that Harold and DJ have been on together.
 * The pairing is similar to Gwen and Heather on Team Amazon and Izzy and Owen on Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot.
 * Ezekiel is the only member of Team Victory to not compete in Total Drama Action. He and Bridgette are the only ones not to be on a team during Total Drama Action, while half the team was on the Screaming Gaffers during that season.
 * DJ and Ezekiel are the only members of this team that were not/aren't in a relationship. Ironically, DJ made it the farhest out of the team, and Ezekiel was the lowest qualifying member of the team.
 * This is the second team that Chris gives out nicknames to. In The Am-AH-Zon Race, Chris referred to them as "Tiny Victory", "Victory Duo", and "Victory Twins" because the team's only members left were Lindsay and DJ, and before that, in Slap Slap Revolution, he called them "Team Elusive Victory" and "Team Opposite of Victory."
 * Oddly, Ezekiel and Harold, the first two eliminatd from the team, are the only members of Team Victory to not be in an Everyone-Friendship.
 * This is the only team to have every single member be completely eliminated before the merge of any season of Total Drama.
 * Lindsay was the last female of Team Victory to be eliminated.
 * Team Victory is the first team in the history of Total Drama to lose the first six elimination challenges in a season.
 * Team Victory is the one team that features more eliminations that happen as a result of something else besides all of its members voting for someone than any other team, as one member quit, and two were eliminated in a sudden-death challenge. Thus, only half of their members were officially voted off.
 * Team Victory is the second team to lose continuously due to being "cursed," the first team being the Screaming Gophers. The Gophers, however, were able to lift their curse by voting Beth off. Team Victory was permanently cursed due to Harold leaving in Japan instead of DJ. This led to a series of problems with DJ harming animals, causing the entire team to be wiped out.
 * DJ was the last member of Team Victory before getting eliminated.
 * DJ believed that he shouldn't have been eliminated, due to Izzy being eliminated previously in the episode, but Chris eliminated him anyways.
 * Alejandro has caused four members eliminations on Team Victory.
 * Ezekiel is the only member of this team never to appear as a guest on an Aftermath. He is also the only one to not make it to the merge in any season.
 * This team has the second worst record of any team in the series with six last place challenges (the Killer Grips have the worst record for having lost eight challenges).
 * Though, in terms of elimination challenges, Team Victory does have the worst record, as the Grips lost only five elimination challenges, while Victory lost six.
 * This is the only team Izzy has never been on, or helped out in a challenge.
 * Team Victory was the only team in the season to not have any of the newcomers on it.
 * Although technically Team Amazon originally did not have any newcomers until Sierra switched teams with Izzy.
 * Strangely, despite losing all elimination challenges, this is the only Total Drama World Tour team to never lose a reward challenge; They came in second in Broadway, Baby!, they won in The Am-AH-Zon Race and also won in Newf Kids on the Rock, along with Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot.
 * DJ and Lindsay are the only members of Team Victory to stay in the first class section of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet.
 * Lindsay and Ezekiel are the only contestants on Team Victory to not be eliminated because of Alejandro.
 * Team Victory is the only team in Total Drama history not to have a member of their team make it to the final two in any of the three seasons.
 * This is the first time Lindsay has been on a team with Ezekiel, DJ, Harold, and Bridgette, and the second time she's been on a team with LeShawna.
 * They are the only team to receive Barf Bags at any of their elimination ceremonies.
 * Izzy was the only contestant that Team Victory actually beat (unless you count Duncan, who returned in I See London...).
 * Yet, she was eliminated in the same episode that DJ, their last member, was. However, since she was confirmed to be out of the competition before DJ, DJ ranked higher than Izzy.
 * This team is similar to the Ulong tribe on Survivor, as they both had one elimination challenge to decide who goes home. They also had one member left on their team.


 * This is the second team to have an even amount of members without a switch involved.
 * The first team was the Screaming Gaffers.
 * Both the Screaming Gophers and Killer Bass only had twelve members due to Izzy and Katie switching.
 * This is the second team to feature six members.
 * The first was the Screaming Gaffers.
 * The Killer Grips originally had six member until Courtney's return.
 * Team Amazon technically had six members as well, as they used to have Izzy.
 * Team Chris also technically had six members, as Duncan was put on their team in I See London...
 * Team Victory's has the most members with everyone-friendships, with four.
 * With the exception of LeShawna, every member leaves in the same order they did in Total Drama Island.
