Boat of Losers



The Boat of Losers is one of the many vehicles used in the series and serves as Total Drama Island's main vehicle. It is a boat used to pick up the campers who are voted off or eliminated in Total Drama Island. They must board the Boat of Losers after walking the Dock of Shame in order to reach the Playa Des Losers. It made its first appearance in Not So Happy Campers - Part 1 and its last appearance in I Triple Dog Dare You!.

Usually driven by Chef Hatchet, the boat takes the contestants to Playa Des Losers, where they will stay until the finale. In Paintball Deer Hunter, when Cody is eliminated, the boat is strangely absent. Cody instead is taken to the dock by Beth, but his wheelchair then rolls off into the lake and sinks. In Up the Creek, during Izzy's elimination, she runs off into the woods. Izzy also disappears in a cloud of smoke in Wawanakwa Gone Wild!, instead of boarding the Boat of Losers the second time she is eliminated. It's unknown who was driving the Boat of Losers during Courtney's elimination in Basic Straining, as Chef Hatchet and Chris threw her into the boat. The Boat of Losers has also been seen in day and sunset; Heather was eliminated during daytime, while Lindsay was eliminated at sunset.

Mr. Coconut was thrown into the water instead of boarding the Boat of Losers, which was not present at the dock, after its elimination in Camp Castaways, probably due to it not actually being a contestant. The first camper to board was Ezekiel in Not So Happy Campers - Part 2 and the last camper was a bald and angry Heather, in I Triple Dog Dare You!, who stood on the boat's edge while threatening to sue Chris because of her elimination. Harold was the first one to bring his luggage to the boat, followed by most of the remaining losers. Gwen, Owen, Cody, Izzy, and Mr. Coconut were the only campers that never boarded the Boat of Losers (if one counts Mr. Coconut as a camper). The campers who took the Boat of Losers, but were not seen, were Noah, Justin, Beth, Bridgette, and Geoff.

Although the Boat of Losers doesn't appear after Total Drama Island, a boat similar to it (except colored green) appears in several episodes of Total Drama World Tour: Newf Kids on the Rock, Niagara Brawls, and Hawaiian Punch.

Once the show returns to Camp Wawanakwa for Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, the Boat of Losers is no longer used as the elimination exit, instead being replaced by the Hurl of Shame, one of the new settings for the season.

The Boat of Losers finally returns for a substantially larger role in Total Drama All-Stars. Although the method of elimination has been replaced with the Flush of Shame, the Boat of Losers still appears for the purpose of transporting one exiled contestant to Boney Island, in order to search for the McLean-Brand Chris Head, after each elimination ceremony. It also plays a role in You Regatta Be Kidding Me as a mode of transportation for the challenge.

Trivia

 * The Boat of Losers appeared in twenty-two episodes. The only episodes of Total Drama Island in which it did not appear are Paintball Deer Hunter, Brunch of Disgustingness, Camp Castaways, and The Very Last Episode, Really!.
 * Courtney, Harold, and Leshawna are the only contestants that were pushed or pulled onto the boat. All of the other contestants walked into the boat.
 * Eva was presumably carried on to the boat during her second elimination, seeing as they had her tied up in a straight jacket.
 * Eva and Katie have taken a trip on the Boat of Losers twice, which is more than any other contestant.
 * Sadie, Duncan, and Tyler are the only contestants to have something waiting for them when the Boat of Losers came.
 * Katie was waiting for Sadie on the boat, while chickens (Tyler's greatest fear) were present when Tyler was on the Boat of Losers, and Duncan had Chef or Sasquatchanakwa waiting for him.
 * Tyler and Duncan are the only contestants to have ridden on the Boat of Losers while screaming in fright.
 * Tyler was screaming due to the chickens on the boat.
 * Duncan was screaming because Chef Hatchet was dressed up as the Sasquatchanakwa, and was scaring him with a seemingly endless loop of masks that would be ripped off.
 * Katie was the only camper to return after her elimination on the Boat of Losers without returning to the game.
 * Harold, Courtney, Bridgette, and Trent are the only campers who had some act of love towards their boyfriend/girlfriend before leaving the island with the Boat of Losers.
 * When Harold was voted out, he revealed that he wrote the haiku towards Leshawna. Leshawna and him hugged and kissed before he was pushed onto the boat by Chef.
 * Once Courtney got on, Duncan runs up and throws her a wooden skull he carved, which is followed by Courtney saying, "I'll never forget you!"
 * Bridgette and Geoff almost had a romantic moment when they lean in to each other and almost kiss, until Geoff runs away and hides behind a bush because of Bridgette's skunk smell.
 * Before Trent leaves, he has a touching talk with Gwen and then they lean in slowly to kiss and almost make it, until Chris barges in.
