Hawaiian Punch

'''Total Drama World Tour reaches the time to announce a million dollar prize winner, but first, two guys must compete in a tiebreaker to receive the final spot in the final two after the events of the previous episode, and one moves forward, while the other is eliminated. Now, the host announces the final challenge; a journey all the way up to one of Hawaii's active volcanoes! One contestant manages to trick another, and claims the prize. But when an old face reemerges, no one takes home the million dollars.'''

Recap
Picking up from where the previous episode had left off, Chris decides to hold a tiebreaker between Cody and Alejandro to determine who will proceed to the final two alongside Heather for the one million dollars. Cody admits his happiness in the confessional but reveals he is also frightened of Alejandro. Alejandro admits that he is upset he tied with Cody and is imagining the insults his brother José is coming up with right now. All the losers and campers who did not make it in season three are watching the event to see who will win. Chris asked Heather if she would like to choose who would break the tie, or let Cody and Alejandro decide. She decided to choose for herself. Chris said, in a challenge booth, there are balls with different tie breakers on them and Heather has to pick one. Heather goes inside and was pelted by golf balls, which were supposed to be ping-pong balls, as stated by Bridgette, although Chris had switched them. Heather knocks one ball through the glass of the booth, which hits Tyler's forehead, knocking him out. Another ball gets trapped in her throat and she coughs it up. Chris forces Geoff to pick up the saliva-covered ball and read it out loud. A reluctant Geoff obeys, reading out loud that the challenge is a traditional Hawaiian fire dance of death.

Cody and Alejandro have to wear grass skirts, coconut bras, and use paddles to knock each other off their barge into shark infested water in order to save Heather, who is tied to a pole that is set on fire. Believing that the eliminated contestants will vote to decide the winner of the final two, Heather wants Alejandro to win because she believes she can win in a popularity contest against him. Alejandro starts dominating Cody. Then, Sierra and Harold root for him while Courtney roots for Alejandro. Cody tries to fight back, but is distracted by Heather. Alejandro utilises his moment of distraction to knock Cody off the barge, which causes a shark to eat Cody. Alejandro unties Heather and wins the challenge, which successfully eliminates Cody. Sierra, who is in the peanut gallery, saves Cody from the shark.

Chris announces a challenge where contestants sacrifice dummies that resemble their opponent into the volcano instead of a vote. Also believing that he would lose in a popularity contest, Alejandro is relieved to hear this. Originally, Chris had planned to throw real people in the volcano, but his lawyers had told him not to, so the dummies have to be made of wood and pineapples and must be made by people they choose to help them. Alejandro picks Courtney and Tyler but then chooses to go with Lindsay after she punches Tyler by accident. Heather asks if anyone wants to help her, which causes Cody and Harold to volunteer. Cody then admits in a confessional that Heather has treated him nicely and that Alejandro deserves payback. Harold helps out because he is a fan of Cody. To make the challenge interesting, Chris forces them to sing a song.

By the end of the song, Alejandro finishes his sacrificial dummy first, giving him a twenty second head start. He also gets a wheelbarrow which Courtney won for him in an earlier episode. Heather ends up getting nothing. Chris lets her use the baby carriage Cody won, but when she puts her dummy on it, it breaks. She then struggles up the mountain with a heavy dummy while Alejandro speeds ahead and taunts her. However, he almost falls in a river of lava that prevents him from using his wheelbarrow anymore. Heather catches up and Chris explains they have to cross the river while their helpers can cut or not cut ropes that hold dangerous obstacles above each stone. Alejandro takes the lead and tells his team to cut the ropes. Heather tells her helpers to block them, which they do. Cody tells the girls that there is a sale for mascara, which causes Lindsay to run away in happiness, angering Courtney. Courtney takes down Harold and cuts a rope that drops a piano on Alejandro, which shows that no one knows which rope leads to who. Heather then calls Alejandro "José". Alejandro reacts to this angrily and tells her to never call him that. Heather asks why, and Alejandro reveals it is the name of his older brother that torments him, mainly by calling him "Al". Cody then proceeds to use this to his advantage and distracts Alejandro by repeatedly calling him Al. Heather then passes Alejandro when Cody is distracting him. Cody then cuts a rope intending to throw a trap on Alejandro, but it drops a cage on Heather, which allows Alejandro to take the lead again. A sad Heather is on the verge of quitting but Cody gives her a pep talk, telling her that she is the good guy in this battle for the million. Heather escapes the cage and continues in the race.

Alejandro reaches the top where everyone is waiting. He is about to throw his dummy in the volcano until a crying Heather arrives. She tells him she worked so hard for this opportunity and that Alejandro will win and leave her. Alejandro answers by expelling a secret to her. He tells her she has stolen his heart. Heather then admits that she has feelings for him, too. Everyone gasps, except Noah, who had already noticed the attraction several episodes earlier, and then are grossed out when Alejandro awkwardly kisses Heather. However, Heather then knees Alejandro in the groin and throws him off the volcano on a melting ice cube. Smirking, Heather explains that while having a boyfriend would have been nice, having a million dollars would be even nicer. Heather then throws her dummy into the lava and then jumps around in triumph. Heather stares in happiness at the case of money when some local Hawaiians ask if any pineapples were thrown in the volcano. Chris then admits he made the peanut gallery stand in front of some signs that say to not throw pineapples in volcanoes.

Everyone is worried about the volcano erupting when suddenly, a feral Ezekiel appears and attacks Heather for the case, managing to snatch it from her, only to fall into the volcano with it. Everyone runs from the erupting volcano and trample Alejandro, except Heather and Chris who just pass by him. After being run over by Blaineley's dolly, Alejandro is completely covered in lava. The rest of the cast members are heading for safety by swimming farther out into in the ocean, where Chris is about to sign off, when Ezekiel is suddenly shot out of the volcano and crashes right into Chris and Chef's boat, sinking it. All of the contestants laugh but then swim away when flaming rocks start bombarding them. They all leave Heather behind to complain if she will get her money after all. She is unable to finish asking, when a massive flaming boulder, significantly larger than all the others, hurtles towards her. She screams and tries to swim away, but the screen turns to static just as the rock is about to hit her.

After the credits, there is a scene showing Chris in a black robed outfit with a hood and cape, asking Chef if the machine will work, to which Chef shrugs noncommittally. Alejandro is seen on an operation table. His skin is charred, most of his hair is gone, and his limbs are crushed, twisted, and mangled from the cast trampling him. He is being placed into the Drama Machine with the mask slowly being lowered onto his disfigured face. He arises as the machine and asks if the money is safe, to which Chris informs him of its fiery demise. Alejandro dramatically screams "No!" and in response. Chris only chuckles and then calls him a spaz, ending the episode.

Alternate Ending
Like Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action, there was an alternative ending, however, it can only be seen on the Cartoon Network website. In this ending, Heather had just pushed Alejandro off the volcano. She tosses her dummy in the volcano, only for Chris to point out that she actually tossed Alejandro's dummy in by mistake. This causes Chris to say that Alejandro has won, which causes Heather to scream so loud it echos. Once Alejandro reaches the bottom, Chris tells him he forgot something. Alejandro, realizing that he won, runs back up the volcano. The natives come in, telling them about what happens when pineapples meet lava, when the volcano shakes. Ezekiel comes in then and he pushes Heather aside and pounces on Chris. Ezekiel takes the million from Chris after a short fight, only to fall into the volcano. The camera then shows Alejandro running up the volcano when he sees Chris and Heather running by, asking about the million dollars and getting what he deserves. He is then trampled by the contestants. After that, like before, Chris and Chef are on the boat until Ezekiel crashes down making them drown. This time, however, Heather and the other contestants (besides Alejandro and Blaineley) are swimming next to them and laughing. Once the rocks start falling down, however, everyone swims away and Heather doesn't seem to get hit by the giant rock. The scene of Alejandro being placed in the Total Drama Machine is also cut out.

Trivia

 * The title is a reference to the drink Hawaiian Punch.
 * This episode was written by Alex Ganetakos.
 * This is the first episode in Total Drama history to have a scene after the final credits.
 * This is the second episode in the series in which the double elimination takes place over the course of the episode, as the first person is eliminated early on in the episode, and the second is eliminated at the end.
 * The first time was in Jamaica Me Sweat, when Izzy was eliminated in the middle of the episode and DJ was eliminated at the end.
 * The ending of the episode is a direct parody to the ending of Star Wars Episode III: Revenge of the Sith, where Anakin Skywalker gets a new body after being burned, and, upon learning of his wife's death, screams in agony. Likewise, Alejandro screams in despair upon learning that the million dollars was destroyed.
 * Ezekiel falling into the volcano with the money was a reference to The Return of the King, when Gollum falls into the volcano with the ring.
 * The million dollars is shown in green bills. This either means that the case was full of Canadian $20 bills, or American money was used for the shot. The highest denomination of Canadian bills, the $100, is brown in color.
 * This is the third episode this season to feature a double elimination, and the fifth overall.
 * The others are Alien Resurr-eggtion, Top Dog, Jamaica Me Sweat, and Chinese Fake-Out.
 * This is the second time that both members of the elimination were of the same gender and the first time both were boys.
 * As Alejandro is questioning wearing a coconut bra, the beginning of Who You Gonna Root For? can be heard.
 * This episode's challenge may truly be considered the deadliest challenge in Total Drama history, just as Chris said it would be.
 * This is the second season where the prize money is destroyed, making Duncan the only one to have his winning money perfectly intact.
 * And Beth if you include the Total Drama Action alternate ending, although she loses it in France.
 * This is the first time in the series that the million dollars is actually seen. In all other instances, the case it was contained in was never opened.
 * The boat that Chris and Chef are in at the end of the episode is the same one that was seen in Newf Kids on the Rock and Niagara Brawls, which is actually the Boat of Losers colored green.
 * This is one of the few episodes where no one signs off the episode.
 * Chris was about to sign out but was interrupted by Ezekiel.
 * Alejandro's helpers are the two girls who have still fallen for his charms, while Heather's helpers are the only two who can stand her, who happen to be boys. This also makes the final two "teams" mirror images, gender wise.
 * The helpers were contestants that were on Team Amazon and Team Victory.
 * This is the fourth episode where someone gives the middle finger, in this case, LeShawna to Heather.
 * The first was Lindsay in That's Off the Chain!, who also gave one to Heather.
 * The second was the Sasquatchanakwa in The Aftermath: III.
 * The third was Duncan in Rock n' Rule.
 * By the end of this episode, the respective statuses of Ezekiel, Heather, and Blaineley are unknown. Ezekiel, while seen to survive falling into the volcano, crashed into Chris's boat at high-speed, and was never seen to resurface after it sank. Heather was last seen swimming away as a massive boulder was about to crush her, and Blaineley, while seen to roll away from the volcano with the rest of the cast, was not seen in the water with the others. It is possible that, due to the weight of the dolly she was attached to, she sank straight to the bottom.
 * However, in Alejandro's alternate ending Heather is not about to be crushed by the boulder, so most likely this is not crucial to the plot.
 * This is the only episode where Sadie speaks, but Katie doesn't.
 * The baby carriage seen in this episode is similar to the one seen in Broadway, Baby!.
 * Both of Alejandro's helpers were former Killer Grips.
 * Heather has been on at least one team with both of her helpers.
 * This episode features the last song in Total Drama World Tour, Versus.
 * The way in which DJ runs once the volcano explodes is exactly the same as when he ran away from the "psycho killer" in Hook, Line, and Screamer.
 * Ezekiel smiling when he comes in contact with the case means that even in his feral state, he has been longing for the prize so much.
 * This episode is confirmed to have the most injuries overall, with Alejandro and Ezekiel being particularly injured towards the end of the episode.
 * Heather is pelted with golf balls.
 * Tyler is hit in the forehead by a golf ball.
 * Alejandro is shown knocking Cody off the platform, eliminating him. A shark then swallows Cody after he gets knocked off the platform.
 * Sierra repeatedly slams the same shark onto the sandy shore of Hawaii several times.
 * Lindsay punches Tyler in the face.
 * Courtney kicks Harold in the groin.
 * Cody tackles Courtney to stop Alejandro from winning.
 * Heather kicks Alejandro in the groin and slides him off the volcano. Alejandro's ice cube melts and he proceeds to get trampled by the stampeding contestants (even the disabled Blaineley). He gets scorched in lava, which causes him to become almost unable to do anything, and placed in the Drama Machine.
 * Ezekiel falls in the volcano and gets severely burned. Ezekiel (on fire) then crashes into Chris' boat.
 * The name of the final challenge is a reference to the movie Joe Versus the Volcano.

Goofs

 * In the previous episode, Sierra loses her wheelchair when she and Cody were thrown off of it, but she is seen using a wheelchair again in this episode.
 * However, she may have just gotten another wheelchair or somehow regained the original one.
 * After Heather knees Alejandro in the groin, no objects are in the shot. After the screen goes to the loser's reactions and back to Heather and Alejandro, the ice cube which Alejandro eventually lands on suddenly appears.
 * When all the losers are first shown gathered at the top of the volcano, Cody and Lindsay are there, when Cody had been previously shown being behind Heather, and Lindsay had run off due to a trick by Cody.
 * Oddly, when the pineapple signs are discovered, Justin is seen wearing boots identical to Alejandro's, instead of his usual sandals.
 * When the pineapple signs are shown, Beth's badges are missing and Tyler's hair is normal, as opposed to the sweaty or wet hair everyone else has.
 * Geoff has no hat while on the volcano, but he is wearing it once he's back on the beach below.
 * Alejandro couldn't have slid all the way down the path to the bottom, since there was a time where he had to jump across a lava river, which was one of the tasks of the challenge.
 * When Chris has the fan blowing, his hair is blowing in the opposite direction.
 * After Heather shows up, Alejandro's sacrifice dummy disappears for the rest of the episode, but in the alternative ending, his was thrown in.
