User blog:TheScottBird/The Elimination Theory

Hey guys, TheScottBird here. I have been reviewing episodes of past seasons and wondered to myself: "Do these elimination outcomes make sense?" So, as an answer to my (and mostly everyone else's) questions, this blog will explain who voted for who in each episode.

Not So Happy Camepers - Part 2

 * Eva, Katie, Sadie, Courtney, and Bridgette voted for Ezekiel (5 votes)
 * Tyler, Harold, DJ, Geoff, and Duncan voted for Courtney (5 votes)
 * Ezekiel voted for unknown, presumably Courtney (6 votes?)

This is what the episode made it seem like, but there is some information that revealed otherwise. At the campfire ceremony, Duncan tells Ezekiel, "You've got a lot to learn about the real world, dude." This could be his way of warning Ezekiel that he is going to be voted off because of all of the female votes against him; or, Duncan could have voted for Ezekiel himself, along with all (if not all, the majority) of the other males.

The Big Sleep

 * Katie, Tyler, Sadie, Courtney, Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, and Duncan voted for Eva (9 votes)
 * Eva voted for unknown, presumably Harold (1 vote?)

So, for some reason, Harold and Eva were the final two left to receive a marshmallow. If all of the Killer Bass, besides Eva, voted for Eva - doesn't that mean Eva had to have voted for Harold? Why would she target Harold? If I were her, I would've targeted Courtney or Bridgette...

Dodgebrawl

 * Justin, Izzy, Cody, Beth, Trent, Lindsay, Leshawna, Heather, Gwen, and Owen voted for Noah (10 votes)
 * Noah voted for unknown, presumably Lindsay (1 vote?)

Now, it kind of was confirmed that all of the Gophers voted for Noah, well, excluding Noah himself. Heather could have voted for Lindsay due to Lindsay's alliance betrayal, but I seriously doubt it. But Noah, being the smart guy he is, could have voted for Lindsay because he knew that Heather had tension with her and others may have also. So this all kind of makes sense.

Not Quite Famous

 * Justin, Cody, Trent, Leshawna, and Gwen voted for Heather (5 votes)
 * Izzy, Beth, Lindsay, Heather, and Owen voted for Justin (5 votes)

Alright... So it's confirmed Heather bribed Izzy, Beth, and Lindsay to vote for Justin. And since everyone else was mad at Heather for the diary incident, they should have all voted for her. Well, I'm presuming Trent (because of his crush on Gwen), Gwen (due to her diary being the one read), Leshawna (because of her grudge against Heather and support for Gwen), and Cody (because of his crush on Gwen) voted for Heather. So, this means Justin had voted for someone else. Not sure who, but he did.

The Sucky Outdoors

 * Tyler, Courtney, Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, and Duncan voted for Katie or Sadie (7 votes)
 * Sadie voted for unknown
 * Katie voted for unknown

While it is unknown who voted for Katie and who voted for Sadie - Katie got the boot, and both she and Katie were the final two to not receive a marshmallow. This one's kinda self-explanatory.

Phobia Factor

 * Courtney, Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, and Duncan voted for Tyler (6 votes)
 * Tyler voted for unknown, presumably Courtney (1 vote?)

It is presumed everyone, excluding Tyler himself, voted for Tyler. Tyler may have just voted for Courtney presuming everybody else was. Pretty self-explanatory.

Up the Creek

 * Cody, Beth, Trent, Lindsay, Leshawna, Heather, Gwen, and Owen voted for Izzy (8 votes)
 * Izzy voted for unknown, presumably Lindsay (1 vote?)

It is really unconfirmed whether or not Lindsay or Izzy was supposed to get the boot if Izzy hadn't left the ceremony...but it is pretty obvious it was Izzy since she blew the challenge for her team. It is really unknown why Izzy voted for Lindsay if she did, but yeah...

Paintball Deer Hunter

 * Trent, Lindsay, Leshawna, Heather, Gwen, and Owen voted for Cody (6 votes)
 * Cody voted for unknown, presumably Heather; Beth voted for Heather (2 votes?)

So, it is pretty much confirmed most of the Gophers voted for Cody due to his cast making him useless for challenges. Cody may have voted for Heather because of her raging on Beth, and Beth obviously voted for Heather. It is confirmed that Leshawna and Owe voted for Cody, but that's it.

If You Can't Take The Heat...

 * Trent, Lindsay, Leshawna, Heather, Gwen, and Owen voted for Beth (6 votes)
 * Beth voted for Heather (1 vote)

It is presumed all of the Gophers voted for Beth due to her costing her team bad luck and misfortune. Beth obviously voted for Heather because of her hatred for her.

Who Can You Trust?

 * Courtney, Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, and Duncan voted for Sadie (6 votes)
 * Sadie voted for Courtney (1 vote)

Since Courtney got mostly all of the Bass to vote for Sadie, she was obviously meant to be eliminated. Sadie voted for Courtney because she may have knew Courtney's intentions on getting her eliminated.

Basic Straining
Now, we all know Harold rigged the votes so that everyone voted for Courtney. Chris may have placed Harold in the final two to not receive a marshmallow to add suspense, knowing what Harold had done. Or Harold, being smart, left one vote for him as to not act suspicious.

Before the rigging, the votes presumably went:
 * Courtney, Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, and Duncan voted for Harold (5 votes)
 * Harold voted for Courtney (1 vote)

It is really unknown why everyone targeted Harold, but it is pretty much confirmed he would've gone home, as Duncan states that he, Geoff, and DJ voted for him.

X-Treme Torture

 * Bridgette, DJ, Geoff, and Duncan voted for Harold (4 votes)
 * Harold voted for Duncan (1 vote)

It's presumed Harold got all of his team's votes against him due to costing his team the challenge. Harold voted for Duncan out of hatred.

No Pain, No Game

 * Trent, Bridgette, Lindsay, DJ, Izzy, Geoff, Leshawna, Duncan, Heather, Gwen, and Owen voted for Eva (11 votes)
 * Eva and Duncan voted for Heather (2 votes)

This is all confirmed on the show.

Search and Do Not Destroy

 * Bridgette, Lindsay, DJ, Geoff, Leshawna, Duncan, and Heather voted for Trent (7 votes)}
 * Trent voted for unknown, presumably Gwen (1 vote?)
 * Owen voted for unknown, presumably Trent (8 votes?)
 * Izzy voted for unknown, presumably Trent (9 votes?)

So, it's confirmed that everyone besides Trent himself, Owen, and Izzy voted for Trent. Owen may have voted for Trent in respect of Gwen, or Leshawna could have informed Owen off-screen of Heather and Trent's "plot." Izzy may have voted for Trent because she was in Heather's alliance.

Hide and Be Sneaky

 * Bridgette, Leshawna, and Gwen voted for Duncan (3 votes)
 * Izzy, Lindsay, and Heather voted for Owen (3 votes)
 * DJ, Duncan, and Owen voted for Bridgette (3 votes)
 * Geoff voted for unknown...

So, here is the biggest voting mystery in Total Drama history. How was Bridgette eliminated? I'd say that Geoff actually did vote for Bridgette and lied to her on the Dock, but Chris states in the next episode's recap that Geoff hadn't voted for Bridgette. So this only leaves one explanation: someone in one of the other two "voting alliances" changed their vote, or someone else voted for Bridgette. I'm sort of guessing Heather voted for Bridgette, turning the tables... But that's a long stretch. Tell me what you think happened in the comments ;)
