Summary
The season was about twenty-two teenage contestants on an island known as "Camp Wawanakwa" or "Total Drama Island." The teens are divided into two separate teams, the Screaming Gophers and the Killer Bass. The two teams were given challenges and every three days, the losing team voted a contestant off. The losing contestant must walk the Dock of Shame to the Boat of Losers which will take the loser away. This process continues on until one person remains on the island. The last contestant will win a $100,000 prize which the host, Chris McLean, is certain the contestants will, "blow in a week."

Since the teams merged, all the contestants began to vote for each other and only the challenge winner had immunity. Also, a camper may be eliminated if losing a challenge, in exceptional circumstances.
