Tiki idol



The tiki idol is a small clay doll that Beth found on Boney Island during the canoe challenge in. By taking it off the island, she "cursed" the Screaming Gophers and caused three campers to be voted off (including herself). When Cody was eliminated, she showed him the tiki, and he tried to warn her, but was muffled by his bandages from his bear attack. Beth also put it on the presentation table for Chris McLean's food in the challenge during If You Can't Take The Heat..., which also caused them to lose the challenge. Once the other campers found out that Beth had taken the idol from Boney Island, she said that she'd return it. However, Beth was still voted off.

Chris had previously warned the campers about the curse of Boney Island, and about how anyone who took something off of it would be cursed forever. Unfortunately, Beth wasn't present when he delivered this grave warning as she was using the bathroom, and nobody thought to warn her while they were on the island. Therefore, she had no way of knowing of the supposed curse, and wound up bringing it upon herself and her teammates. It eventually cultivated in her elimination.

In Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, it was revealed that Beth never returned the idol to Boney Island, but broke it into pieces and flushed it down the toilet instead. The idol was found in a package on the beach of Boney Island by Owen and Heather, Chris explains the story, and the campers are to return the idol to the Cave of Treacherous Terror. Geoff and Gwen were the only ones to do so.

Trivia

 * The idol resembles an immunity idol seen in the series of Survivor.
 * This however, appears be the opposite of the immunity idol. Generally, finding the immunity idol is good in Survivor. In this situation, it is bad. This is most likely done for ironic purposes.
 * Total Drama World Tour's counterpart of this cursed idol is the Curse of the Mummified Dog.
 * In TDI Rundown, Chris incorrectly refers to this idol as a "voodoo idol".
