Elimination (Total Drama)



Elimination is the process in Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action,Total Drama World Tour, and Total Drama: Revenge of the Island when a team (Screaming Gophers, Killer Bass, Screaming Gaffers, Killer Grips, Team Amazon, Team Victory, Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot, Mutant Maggots, or Toxic Rats) or the current contestants have to vote off a fellow contestant.

Elimination usually occurs during a campfire ceremony, awards ceremony, or barf bag ceremony. Chris McLean will hand out a marshmallow, Gilded Chris Award, or barf bag to the contestants and whoever doesn't receive one has been eliminated from the competition. In some rare instances, no awards are handed out to anyone at all. He says once a contestant walks the Dock of Shame in Total Drama Island, Walk of Shame in Total Drama Action, takes the Drop of Shame in Total Drama World Tour, or gets thrown in the Hurl of Shame in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, that they can never come back, "ever." However, in No Pain, No Game the producers bring back Izzy and Eva to come back as contestants, which prompts Chris to say "I lied." Also, something that isn't human has 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 the last challenge.

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 (it's unknown if season four has one or not).

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), and Heather (Gopher)

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 one has 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 returned to Female-Male:
 * Leshawna (Female), Justin (Male), Lindsay (Female), Harold (Male), Courtney (Female), Owen (Male), and Beth (Female)


 * It is notable that in Total Drama World Tour, there is a pattern: three males, three females.
 * Duncan (Male), Ezekiel (Male), Harold (Male), Bridgette (Female), Leshawna (Female), and Lindsay (Female)
 * The pattern stopped at Izzy, but has continued:
 * DJ (Male), Noah (Male), Tyler (Male), and Gwen (Female)
 * The pattern was once again stopped at Owen. However, a team pattern then continued (besides Blaineley):
 * Owen (Chris), Courtney (Amazon), Duncan (Chris), and Sierra (Amazon)
 * In Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, there is a pattern starting with Dakota's elimination: female, male.
 * Dakota (Female), B (Male), Dawn (Female), and Sam (Male)


 * Also, there is pattern in winning: every character that has won one of the first three Total Drama seasons is male, while the runner-up was female.

Trivia

 * Overall, Total Drama Island features the most amount of eliminations of any season so far, with 24 (counting Gwen's losing to Owen in the finale, as well as Mr. Coconut).
 * It also features the least amount of non-elimination episodes, with two (not counting the episode where Mr. Coconut was eliminated).
 * Generally, the eliminations were supposed to happen after nightfall. However, Total Drama Action is the only season so far in which every elimination happens at night.
 * In Total Drama Island, both Lindsay's and Heather's eliminations were before nightfall, as they were simply at dusk and in the middle of the day, respectively.
 * In Total Drama World Tour, almost every elimination was actually prior to nightfall, with the exceptions of Lindsay's, Sierra's and Tyler's eliminations.
 * Mr. Coconut was the only non-human to be voted off Total Drama Island. In fact, he is the only non-human to be voted off of any of the seasons so far.
 * Izzy was the first person ever to leave the competition without being officially eliminated.
 * Also Izzy has never taken the Dock of Shame or Drop of Shame. In the Up the Creek she ran into the forest, in Wawanakwa gone Wild she disappeared into pink dust, and in Jamaica Me Sweat she got taken away by the army.
 * Lindsay was the first person to be eliminated outside of a Campfire Ceremony. The second and third were Leshawna and Heather, respectively.
 * DJ, Alejandro, and Sierra are the only contestants in the series to have never been officially voted off.
 * In Hook, Line, and Screamer, it is implied that DJ was eliminated because of his bad performance in the challenge.
 * In The Sand Witch Project, DJ asked to leave due to feeling guilty about his illegal alliance with Chef.
 * In Jamaica Me Sweat, he was the only person left on his team when it lost the challenge; thus, he was automatically eliminated.
 * However, If Harold didn't quit in Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan, DJ would've been voted off, and every one of the original twenty-two contestants would have been voted off at least once.
 * DJ is also the only contestant to have been in more than one season (let alone all three seasons) to have never been officially voted off.
 * In Awwwwww, Drumheller, Alejandro was supposed to be voted off, but Sierra accidentally blew up the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, to which Chris automatically eliminated her out of pure anger. This also results in Sierra's elimination not being an official vote-off.
 * In Hawaiian Punch, Alejandro won, and therefore was never voted off or eliminated at all.
 * Izzy and Eva were the first contestants to return after being eliminated.
 * Izzy has left the competition through various methods more times than any other contestant, as she has been eliminated five times:
 * She left first in Up the Creek after being found by the RCMP.
 * She was voted off again in Wawanakwa Gone Wild!.
 * She was voted off as "E-Scope" in Riot On Set.
 * She was voted off again in Full Metal Drama as Izzy/Explosivo.
 * She left in Jamaica Me Sweat when she was taken away by the military after they found that she was smart.
 * Bridgette is the only contestant to compete in the first three seasons and get voted off regularly in all three of those seasons.
 * Bridgette, Courtney, DJ, Gwen, Harold, Heather, Izzy, Leshawna, and Lindsay are the only contestants to get eliminated in all of the first three seasons they competed in, not counting the alternate ending of Total Drama Island in which Gwen wins and Total Drama World Tour in which Heather wins.
 * Of those nine, DJ and Harold are the only male players.
 * Interestingly, both of them were always on the same team.
 * Currently, the only contestants who have returned after being previously eliminated are Eva, Izzy, Owen, Duncan, and Dakota.
 * Alejandro has been directly responsible for the eliminations of Harold, Bridgette, Leshawna, DJ, Noah, Tyler, Owen, Blaineley, Duncan, and Cody. That is the highest amount of eliminations any character has intentionally caused in one season.
 * He also indirectly caused the eliminations of Gwen and Courtney.
 * Since the elimination was instituted, Brunch of Disgustingness was the first episode not to feature an elimination.
 * Leshawna and Justin were the only campers not to speak in the episodes in which they were eliminated in Total Drama Island.
 * Curiously, both were part of the Screaming Gophers.
 * Duncan was the only contestant to be on both Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action and be eliminated only one time.
 * Eva was the only contestant not to compete on Total Drama Action or Total Drama World Tour and be eliminated two times.
 * She was also the first female to be voted off.
 * She also was one of the only returning contestants to be eliminated right after returning, the other being Dakota.
 * In most of the confirmed romantic relationships, one of the members is badly, unfortunately, or unfairly eliminated/voted off in the season they were formed:
 * 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 in 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 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.
 * Gwen, who pairs with Duncan was eliminated on Picnic at Hanging Dork because she lost to Courtney in a tie breaker challenge due to her allergies and was also kicked in the face by a kangaroo once she lands. She also left the competition in bad terms with Duncan as Duncan's attempts to make Courtney jealous causes Gwen to get jealous instead and lost trust in him.
 * Alejandro, who pairs with Heather, although he won the Total Drama World Tour ,was betrayed by Heather, burned by lava and has to be put in a Drama Machine in order to live.
 * Dakota, who pairs with Sam, was heavily mutated in The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean and was later eliminated after Scott uses the McLean-Brand Chris Head to save himself from being eliminated.
 * Mike, who pairs with Anne Maria and Zoey, was chosen by Scott to take the Hurl of Shame as Scott as invincibility.
 * 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 Top Dog, where Courtney and Owen were eliminated.
 * Currently, Total Drama Island is the only season to never feature a double elimination.
 * It is also the only season where a contestant never quit.
 * 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, and Harold did it to save his team's honor.
 * Of all these contestants, only Duncan quit outside of an elimination ceremony.
 * Coincidentally, the only three contestants who have ever quit the show are all male, were on the Killer Bass, were on the Screaming Gaffers and have all competed in the first three seasons.
 * If one counts as Geoff being eliminated before Bridgette in Total Drama Action, then a male has always been eliminated first in the first three seasons so far in the Total Drama series.
 * Coincidentally, they've all been a member of the Killer Bass.
 * Total Drama: Revenge of the Island is the first season to break this trend, as Staci was the first contestant eliminated.
 * Ezekiel is the only contestant to have an unofficial elimination. In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Chris threw him out of the plane saying that all eliminations are final, but he was let back into the contest in the same episode.
 * Ezekiel is currently the only contestant to have been voted off a season first twice.
 * In The Am-AH-Zon Race, Team Amazon was set for elimination, and Heather was supposed to be voted off. But the elimination turned out to be fake and no one was voted off.
 * Ironically, she won the season in the alternate ending.
 * 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, Noah and Gwen, every contestant eliminated in Total Drama World Tour before Awwwwww, Drumheller had to be pushed off the plane by someone else.
 * DJ and Izzy are always eliminated consecutively in each season (Izzy is voted off after DJ her second time in both Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action).
 * In Total Drama Island, DJ received 8th place, and Izzy got 7th place (when voted off on her second time).
 * In Total Drama Action, DJ received 12th place, and Izzy got 11th place (when voted off on her second time).
 * In Total Drama World Tour, Izzy received 13th place, and DJ got 12th place, and both were eliminated in the same episode. This makes Total Drama World Tour the first season where DJ outranks Izzy.
 * Courtney and Harold were eliminated back to back in the first two seasons.
 * Aside from Total Drama Action, Gwen and Owen have always been voted off or eliminated consecutively.
 * In the first three seasons, Izzy was the seventh contestant to be eliminated respectively.
 * Every contestant that reached the merge in Total Drama Action placed lower in Total Drama World Tour:
 * Leshawna ranked 8th in Total Drama Action, but in Total Drama World Tour, she ranked 15th.
 * Justin ranked 7th in Total Drama Action, but he did not participate in Total Drama World Tour.
 * Lindsay ranked 6th in Total Drama Action, but in Total Drama World Tour, she ranked 14th.

 * Beth ranked 2nd in Total Drama Action, but she did not participate in Total Drama World Tour.
 * Duncan won in Total Drama Action, but in Total Drama World Tour, he ranked 19th and 5th.
 * Total Drama: Revenge of the Island is the first season where two females are the first contestants to be eliminated.
 * This is the reverse of Total Drama World Tour, as two males were the first eliminated in that season.
 * The first three eliminations of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island feature a noticeable pattern: Whoever received the final marshmallow of one ceremony was eliminated in the next.
 * Dakota received the final marshmallow in Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, and was eliminated in Truth or Laser Shark.
 * B received the final marshmallow in Truth or Laser Shark and was eliminated in Ice Ice Baby.
 * Until A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste, the only people who have been eliminated in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island have been members of the Toxic Rats.
 * Thus, this is the second season where the first five people voted out have been members of the same team. The other was Team Victory in Total Drama World Tour.
 * Gender wise, Total Drama: Revenge of the Island has mirrored Total Drama World Tour, as three males and two females were the first to be eliminated in Total Drama World Tour while three females and B|two males were the first eliminated in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island.
 * Also from the first five eliminated contestants, one male returned to the competition in Total Drama World Tour and one female returned to the competition in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island.
