Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1

'''The thrid season has begun and the contestants are introduced to their new living place and transportation method for the competition, along with the new rules of the game. They are taken to a new location where they participate in their first challenge and after an aggravated contestant quits the show, three new teams are formed.'''

Plot
As the episode begins, Chris introduces the concept of the show, which features the contestants participating in challenges all over the world and singing. He then introduces all the contestants, who were selected in the previous episode. After re-introducing the cast, Chris and Chef bring forth the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, which will take the contestants around the world. He initially recieves complaints from all the contestants about how unsafe the plane looks, but after bashing Owen in the head with a frying pan for his complaints, the castmates quiet down and Chris says he'll give them the tour of the plane.

Inside, he tells the contestants that they'll really have to sing whenever Chris tells them, something met with a lot of complaints by every contestant except Courtney, but especially with a lot of complaints from Duncan. He then shows them the loser lounge, which is a seat-less compartment in which the losers of each week's challenge will stay and where the only way to sleep is to strap yourself to the wall in order to avoid feeling the jet's rumbles on the floor. He also shows them the swanky and luxurious winner's section, where the winners will stay.

In the winner's section, Alejandro displays his charm in front of Lindsay and Bridgette, which immediately makes both of them very smitten with him, and makes Tyler get very jealous that Lindsay is paying so much attention to another guy. Later, Chris explains the process of the new elimination ceremony, where every eliminated contestant will be parachuted off the plane and towards a helipad where a helicopter will take them to a waiting area until the competition is over. When Ezekiel says he doesn't like the prospect of jumping off the plane, an annoyed Chris throws him out the door and declares him eliminated. However Ezekiel manages to climb back into the plane before it takes off by grabbing onto the landing gear and then he stowsaway offscreen.

While the cast is talking over things in the lunch cabin, Chris shows up and rings a bell, telling them whenever they hear that bell they must all break into song and make up the lyrics and melody as they go or else be eliminated. The cast are confused as to what to do, but then Courtney starts singing herself and leads them into the first song of the season - Come Fly With Us.

After some travelling, the cast arrives at Egypt where Chris announces the first challenge is to climb over or go under the Pyramids and reach the finish line. The cast splits into groups. One team is Courtney, Duncan and Gwen; another is Izzy, Owen and Noah; another is Alejandro, Bridgette, Lindsay and Tyler; another is LeShawna, Harold and DJ; then Heather, Sierra and Cody and Ezekiel is on his own.

DJ, LeShawna and Harold make it first to the finish line after they escape from a collapsing tunnel trap that DJ set off by trying to pet a mummified dog. Bridgette, Lindsay, Alejandro and Tyler make it second after the former three slide down the side of the pyramid on a broken sign and the latter one rolls down the side. Bridgette, Lindsay, LeShawna, Harold and DJ become Team One, while Chris puts Alejandro on Team Two along with Tyler and along with Owen and Noah who arrive after escaping from a mummy-wrapped Ezekiel whom they stumbled upon while looking for Izzy who ahd gotten lost. After being told who his teammates are, Alejandro bursts into a spanish swearing rant in the confessional.

Then, Sierra, Heather and Cody exit the pyramid. Sierra is put as the last member to team Two, while Cody and Heather become the first of Team Three. Meanwhile, on the top of the pyramid Gwen and Courtney argue over how to go down the side while Duncan stares on agravated. When Chris rings the song bell and tells Duncan he has to sing about his feelings, an enraged Duncan runs down the side of the pyramid, dragging Courtney and Gwen with him and tells Chris that he refuses to sing. Chris tells him that is he doesn't sing he is disqualified and a furious Duncan quits the show and walks away, much to the distraught of Courtney.

After Izzy and Ezekiel arrive, Chris finishes splitting the teams, and gets annoyed by Harold because he insists upon saying the team numbers in egyptian. Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Izzy and Cody become Team Amazon; Alejandro, Noah, Owen, Tyler and Sierra become Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot and LeShawna, Harold, DJ, Bridgette, Lindsay and the newly incorporated Ezekiel become Team Victory.

Chris gives Team Amazon a camel, team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot a goat and Team Victory a stick and tells them that during the next episode, these objects will help them in the next challenge. After this, he sings off the episode.
