Elimination (Total Drama)

Elimination is a process in Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour when a team (Screaming Gophers, Killer Bass, Screaming Gaffers, Killer Grips, Team Amazon, Team Victory, or Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot) or the camp votes off one camper.

Elimination occurs during a campfire ceremony, awards ceremony, or Barf Bag Ceremony. Chris McLean will hand out a marshmallow, Gilded Chris Award, or Barf Bags Full of Airline Issued Peanuts and whoever doesn't receive one has been eliminated from the competition. He says once you walk the Dock of Shame (in Total Drama Island), Walk of Shame (in Total Drama Action) or take the Drop of Shame (in Total Drama World Tour), you can never come back, "ever". However, in No Pain, No Game the producers bring back Izzy and Eva come back as contestants, which prompts Chris to say, "I lied." Also, things that aren't human have been voted off. Lindsay, DJ and Heather all left in a sudden-death elimination in the first season. In the second season there is an occasion where DJ eliminates himself from the competition, despite his team having won.

During the first, second and third season of the Total Drama Series, a contestant always had a video made of their best moments and how they were eliminated, posted on their respective Cartoon Network website.

Also, all the eliminations have a pattern:


 * In two members: Ezekiel (Bass), Eva (Bass), Noah (Gopher), Justin (Gopher), Katie (Bass), Tyler (Bass)
 * In three members: Izzy (Gopher), Cody (Gopher), Beth (Gopher), Sadie (Bass), Courtney (Bass), Harold (Bass)
 * Member of different teams: Eva again (Bass), Trent (Gopher), Bridgette (Bass), Lindsay (Gopher), DJ (Bass), Izzy again (Gopher), Geoff (Bass), LeShawna (Gopher), Duncan (Bass), Heather (Gopher)

It can also be noted that in Total Drama Action, out of the first seven people eliminated, six of them were Owen, Izzy, Gwen, Trent, Bridgette and Geoff. They are all in a couple, which may (mostly likely not) spoil anything between LeShawna and Harold, or Duncan and Courtney.

And coincidentally, there is the same pattern that the previous season in Total Drama Action, starting with E-Scope.


 * In two members: E-Scope (Grip), Trent (Grip), Gwen (Gaffer), DJ (Gaffer), Izzy or Explosivo (Grip), Owen (Grip), Heather (Gaffer), LeShawna (Gaffer), Justin(Grip) and Lindsay (Grip)
 * Also, (if you have Bridgette technically be eliminated first and Geoff second) the eliminations seem to be going Female then Male.


 * Bridgette (Female), Geoff (Male), E-Scope (Female), Trent (Male), Gwen (Female), DJ (Male), Izzy or Explosivo (Female), Owen (Male), and Heather (Female)
 * With LeShawna's elimination, the pattern has been broken. However with Justin's elimination, it was expected to return to a Female-Male pattern, which it has:
 * LeShawna (Female), Justin (Male), Lindsay (Female), Harold (Male), Courtney (Female), Owen (Male), Beth (Female)


 * So far, it is notable that in Total Drama World Tour, there is a pattern: 3 males, 3 females
 * Duncan (Male), Ezekiel (Male), Harold (Male), Bridgette (Female), LeShawna (Female), Lindsay (Female)
 * The pattern stopped at Izzy, but has continued:
 * DJ (Male), Noah (Male), Tyler (Male), Gwen (Female)'''
 * The pattern has once again stopped at Owen.

 * LeShawna, Justin, and Mr. Coconut were the only campers not to speak on their elimination episodes on Total Drama Island.
 * Curiously, all of the three were (or were created by) Screaming Gophers.
 * Beth, Gwen and Duncan were the only contestants to be on both Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action and be eliminated only one time.
 * Technically, Owen had also been eliminated only once while being in two seasons. However, some consider his being fired in Top Dog the same as being eliminated, so he is technically not on this list.
 * Justin was the earliest eliminated on Total Drama Island to qualify for Total Drama Action.
 * Ezekiel was the earliest eliminated on Total Drama Island to qualify for Total Drama World Tour.
 * Bridgette was the earliest eliminated on Total Drama Action to qualify for Total Drama World Tour.

 * In most of the confirmed romantic relationships, one of the members is badly, unfortunately, or unfairly eliminated/voted off.
 * Lindsay, who pairs with Tyler, was eliminated on That's Off the Chain!, because she lost the challenge counting with Heather to share the invincibility with her; however, Heather tricked her and refused to share the immunity.
 * LeShawna, who pairs with Harold, was eliminated on Haute Camp-ture, because when the eliminated contestants had a chance to vote one of the remaining campers off, Chris counted as a vote every time a contestant said someone's name, and a lot of contestants, and even a parrot, said LeShawna's name by accident.
 * Owen, who pairs with Izzy, was voted off on Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, because all the Killer Grips team voted Courtney off on that episode, despite learning that she had immunity due to a lawsuit. As Courtney voted for Owen, her vote was the only valid and Owen ended up voted off.
 * Courtney, who pairs with Duncan, was voted off on Basic Straining, because the original Killer Bass intention was to vote Harold off; however, Harold rigged the votes to get revenge of Duncan and Courtney was voted off instead, even after the truth was learned.
 * Bridgette, who pairs with Geoff, was voted off on Hide and Be Sneaky, because Duncan formed an alliance with the remaining male contestants to vote all the females off. When the girls weren't able to do the same due to internal conflicts, Bridgette ended up being voted off.
 * Trent, who pairs with Gwen was eliminated on Search and Do Not Destroy, because Heather tricked him into kissing her and tricked Gwen into watching the scene. When Gwen told LeShawna about the incident, she got so mad at Heather and told everyone to vote her off; however, Heather got immunity and everyone voted Trent off only to learn the truth and forgive him too late.
 * Total Drama Action featured two double elimination episodes. The first one was Alien Resurr-eggtion where Bridgette and Geoff were eliminated. The second one was when Owen and Courtney were voted off, in Top Dog.
 * DJ was the first contestant to quit the show. Duncan was the second. Harold was the third. It should be noted that DJ quit due to intense resentment while Duncan quit because of being tremendously angry. Harold did it to save his team's honor.
 * Of all these contestants, only Duncan quit outside of an elimination ceremony.
 * Ironically, the only three contestants who have ever quit the show are all male, were on the Killer Bass, and were on the Screaming Gaffers.
 * If you count as Geoff being eliminated before Bridgette, then a male has always been eliminated first in all three seasons so far in the Total Drama series.
 * Coincidentally, they've all been a member of the Killer Bass.

 * Lindsay is the first contestant in Total Drama World Tour to be eliminated through a method different from either quitting, being voted off, or not participating in a musical number. Instead, she was eliminated by a sudden-death elimination challenge.
 * With the exceptions of Harold, Lindsay, Izzy, DJ and Noah, every contestant eliminated in Total Drama World Tour so far has had to be pushed off the plane by someone else.
