Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1

The third 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 show. One contestant is suddenly eliminated, but manages to make a comeback. They are taken to a new location where they participate in their first challenge and after an enraged contestant quits the show, three new teams are formed.'''

Recap
As the episode begins, Chris McLean 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 receives complaints from Courtney and Owen about how unsafe the plane looks, but after bashing Owen on the head with a frying pan for his complaints about flying, the contestants 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 he tells them, something met with a lot of complaints by every contestant, except Courtney, but especially with a lot of complaints from Duncan and Gwen who both hate singing. 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. Ezekiel talks during all the tour annoying constantly Chris and his fellow teammates.

In the winners' section, Alejandro displays his charm in front of Lindsay, which immediately makes her very smitten with him, and makes Tyler get very jealous that Lindsay is paying so much more attention to another guy instead of him. Later, Chris explains the process of the new elimination ceremony, where those who are safe receive a Barf Bag full of airline-issued peanuts, and those who are eliminated must jump off the plane. When Ezekiel says he has a peanut allergy, an annoyed Chris, even more than he was before, 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 stows away off-screen.

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 traveling, the contestants arrive at Egypt where Chris announces the first challenge is to climb over or go under the Pyramids and reach the finish line. The contestants splits into groups. One team is Courtney, Duncan and Gwen; another is Izzy, Owen and Noah; another is Alejandro, Bridgette, Lindsay and Tyler (although Tyler, for the most part, is separated from the others and is on his own); another is LeShawna, Harold and DJ; then Heather, Sierra and Cody and Ezekiel goes by himself.

Inside the pyramid, the contestants have three paths that they may enter. LeShawna, Harold, and DJ go one way. Along the way through, DJ sees a mummified dog. He feels bad for it and pets it, causing it to break. This sets off a trap, dropping hundreds of scarabs on top of them. Because of this, they escape the pyramid and are the first to cross. However, this begins the Curse of the Mummified Dog. All are placed in Team 1. Owen, Izzy, and Noah go through the mummy path of the pyramid. Izzy asked to be dressed up as a mummy and eventually gets separated from Noah and Owen. They look around for her and instead find Ezekiel wrapped in mummy bandages as well. They think it's Izzy but when Owen tries to kiss him, Noah realizes that it isn't and, mistaking him for an actual mummy, they both run away in terror. Meanwhile, outside the pyramid, Tyler tries to win Lindsay's affection from Alejandro to no avail. Bridgette, Lindsay, and Alejandro surf down the pyramid on a sign that they found at the top. Tyler tumbles down after them. Alejandro lets the girls go first and they are both placed on Team 1. Alejandro and Tyler then cross the finish line and are placed on Team 2. Noah and Owen cross soon after. When Alejandro sees who's in his team, he pretends to be happy with it but bursts into a Spanish rant in the bathroom confessional. In the pyramid, Sierra accidentally sets off a trap and nearly kills Heather, who pretends to be okay with it in order to make Sierra like her. Then, Sierra, Heather and Cody exit the pyramid. Sierra is put as the last member for 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 goes on, aggravated. When Chris rings the song bell and tells Duncan he has to sing a reprise 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 if he doesn't sing he is disqualified and a furious Duncan quits the show and walks away, much to the surprise and shock of both Courtney and Gwen.

After Izzy and Ezekiel arrive, Chris puts Izzy on Team Three and after non-stop begging from Ezekiel to return to the competition, Chris puts him on Team One, due to being one contestant short due to Duncan's quitting. Chris gets annoyed by Harold because he insists upon saying the team numbers in Egyptian. Chris then tells the chosen teams to pick a team name for their respective teams and they have three minutes to do so, while he finishes an ice-cream cone. Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Izzy and Cody become Team Amazon; LeShawna, Harold, DJ, Bridgette, Lindsay and the newly incorporated Ezekiel become Team Victory and after some debate, Alejandro, Noah, Owen, Tyler and Sierra become Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot at Sierra's suggestion.

Chris gives Team Amazon a camel, Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot a goat, and Team Victory a stick. LeShawna questions why the team that made it past the finish line last got the better reward and the team that made it past the finish line first got the worst reward, but Chris tells her that he will explain it in the next episode if he feels like it. After this, he signs off the episode.

 * This episode's title, along with its successor's title, is a reference to the song "Walk Like An Egyptian" by The Bangles.

 * The teams were selected at the end of the challenge in this episode. They are: Team Victory, Team Amazon and Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot.
 * This episode takes place in Egypt. This is the first location that the cast visits in Total Drama World Tour. It is the first location overall.
 * This episode, along with its successor, is the second two-part episode in the series, the first was Not So Happy Campers - Part 1 and Not So Happy Campers - Part 2. (If you don't count Mutiny on the Soundstage and The Aftermath: IV as a two-part episode).
 * The contestants seen in the confessional for this episode were LeShawna, Heather, Alejandro and Cody.
 * The song from this episode is Come Fly With Us, which is a parody of Frank Sinatra's song, Come Fly With Me.
 * In this episode, Sierra reveals Cody's full name, Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson. She also reveals that Cody was born on April 1st.
 * This is the second time a contestant's full name is revealed. The first was Harold in One Flu Over the Cuckoos (real name Harold Norbert Cheever Doris McGrady V).
 * This also makes Cody currently the only contestant in the Total Drama series whose birthday is known.
 * The various mini-teams were formed in this episode, as well as whether or not they chose to go over or under the pyramid, are:
 * Alejandro, Bridgette, and Lindsay (Over; second team to arrive).
 * Duncan, Courtney, and Gwen (Over; sixth to arrive).
 * Tyler (Over; third to arrive).

 * However, Izzy was separated from Owen and Noah, and eventually left the pyramid with Ezekiel.
 * The majority of these mini-teams, as well as most of the contestants overall, went "Under" the pyramid.
 * The booby-trap that Sierra accidentally set off could be considered a reference to Raiders of the Lost Ark.
 * This episode marks the fifth time in the series that someone speaks in Spanish; in this case, Alejandro. The first was Chris in Who Can You Trust?, the second was Geoff in X-Treme Torture, the third time was Izzy in Full Metal Drama, and the fourth time was Duncan in Super Hero-ld.
 * Alejandro curses in this episode, being the first to do so this season. His cursing session seems to hint at his antagonistic side.
 * This is the first time in the Total Drama series that a contestant has been eliminated in the very first episode of the season, as the other two were either an introductory episode or a reward challenge.
 * This is the first episode since Not So Happy Campers - Part 2 that Ezekiel has been part of the Total Drama series as a competitor (even though he was not considered a contestant for most of the episode).
 * The scorpion was the first animal to appear in this episode and the first animal to appear in Total Drama World Tour (besides the animals in the theme song).

 * The dance that LeShawna did while singing Come Fly With Us was the same dance she did in Beach Blanket Bogus during the tie breaking dance challenge.
 * In this episode, Ezekiel says he's allergic to peanuts.
 * Noah shows his dislike for Harold again when Harold was explaining Owen's fear of heights. Noah replied by saying "Keep up the fascinating facts and I'll go aeronauseous all over you." This is the fourth time in the series overall.

Alejandro's spanish: he wildly curses in the confessional (in Spanish probably) and offends Chris.
 * In the Canadian airing of this episode, after learning his team-mates, Alejandro wildly curses in the confessional, with his swears bleeped out. However, in the American airing, the curses and bleeps are edited out of the broadcast, just leaving Alejandro saying "Que idiotas, incompetentes!"
 * Though for some reason this is left unedited on the Cartoon Network site for Total Drama World Tour along with when Chef says "Oh, sh-" after the contestants are done singing.
 * If one looks closely during the scene with Harold, LeShawna, and DJ in front of the mummified animals, the animals' eyes (which are revealed through holes in the bandages) can be seen constantly moving, often looking at whoever is talking. This could be considered a reference to the running gag often seen in many of the original Scooby Doo cartoons.
 * When the contestants get off the bus the boys have blue backpacks and the girls have red.
 * This episode was written by Shelley Scarow.

Goofs

 * Lindsay's Name Goof: Lindsay calls Tyler "Alejandro" in this episode, although it was most likely due to the fact that Alejandro had charmed her, and not because she had forgotten Tyler's name and was more interested in Alejandro.
 * On the human pyramid in the theme song, the wind is shown blowing two ways.
 * Twice, Ezekiel is seen with the other contestants when he was supposedly supposed to still be in the cargo hold.
 * The first time was before they all begin to sing, when he was at the table with them. But he is later seen in another room with his bag after he was thrown out the door, singing his own solo.
 * He was also seen before the pyramid challenge, as Chris is carried up to the cast outside the Jet. But when he runs up to Chris at the starting line, Chris asks how he caught up with them.
 * DJ states that Owen is afraid of flying, and throughout the flight Owen begins to freak out, but he faced his fear of flying in Phobia Factor and shows no fear of flying in Full Metal Drama, similarly, Izzy also had a fear of flying, but shows no sign of it whatsoever. (Though Izzy's initial fear was a poke at being taken by the RCMP.
 * When Izzy gets off the bus, she doesn't have a backpack. But when she is standing in a group with all of the other contestants, she does.
 * In the dining area, when Chris shows it to the contestants, at first there is only one table, but later on, another table seems to appear.
 * In the shot where Tyler is hit in the face by the pole Bridgette lifts up, he is wearing a backpack. However, he is not seen wearing a backpack either before or after this moment during the challenge.
 * When Duncan harmonizes "This sucks", his nose ring disappears.
 * Chris mentioned that Sierra had sixteen Total Drama blogs, but in the Total Drama Action special, Sierra says that she has blogs for every single contestant, which would make the number of blogs: twenty-two blogs.
 * When Chris announced the new season and the camera zoomed out, Alejandro was shown to be wearing sunglasses, however he took them off after arriving.
 * In this episode Chef is heard complaining about Chris being an idiot because of choosing musical numbers for the season, however in the previous episode, it is seen that Chef is the one that brought up the musical idea, although due to Chef's fake enthusiasm, it was most likely scripted.
 * When Izzy jumps on Ezekiel's shoulders, Ezekiel is missing his goatee.
 * On several instances, it appears that the events of the previous episode never happened, as the contestants' reactions and interactions with the new contestants seem to imply this.
 * When Sierra first approaches Cody, she says that it's her first time meeting Cody. However, she already met him, and even directly spoke to him on several occasions, in the special.
 * Several of the girls' reactions to Alejandro directly contradict their rather bitter feelings towards him in the special due to him attempting to replace them.
 * In the scene where everyone finds out that they have to sing in each episode and are in the plane, when Duncan threatens Harold about beatboxing, Izzy and Noah suddenly disappear, then reappear in the next scene.
 * Owen is the only contestant who doesn't sing during the musical number and yet Chris does not eliminate him.
 * This is possibly because he was beaten down with a frying pan, thus making him unable to sing during the song.
 * When Team Amazon creates their team name, Courtney accidentally kicks Cody in the groin, causing him to fall to his knees in pain. In a later shot of Team Amazon staring in shock at the camel they won, Cody is standing up again. However, in the final shot of the episode of the entire cast (except for Duncan), Cody is on the ground once again.
 * In the first shot of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet pulling up next to the cast, the row of windows is seen to be below the wing where the multiple engines are. However, during the musical number, Noah is looking out a window while singing, and one of the engines is level with the window he is looking out.
 * When Courtney first asks Chris what they're supposed to sing, Izzy is sitting on her right. However, when the musical number actually starts, she is sitting on Courtney's left. Similarly, Tyler was sitting on DJ's right before the number started, but was on his left when the number started.
 * When Chris grabs Ezekiel to throw him out of the Total Drama Jet, Ezekiel's shirt is a lighter shade of green than usual.
 * After Izzy carries Ezekiel out of the pyramid, he is able to jump from her arms, pull his arm out, and pull the bandages off . However, when Owen mistakes him for Izzy inside the pyramid, Ezekiel can't move at all despite trying hard to do so.
 * When Ezekiel first discovers the "intercom," it is more prominent and clearly visible with its noticeably dark color against the lighter, sand-color type wall behind it. However, after Ezekiel presses it, and the next shot shows him covered in the gauze, the button is gone.
 * The first time Duncan, Courtney, and Gwen are shown on the pyramid's peak, Gwen is tied between Duncan and Courtney. However, as Duncan runs down the pyramid, he is the one in the middle.
