Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1

'''The third season has begun and the seventeen contestants are introduced to their new home 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 aggravated contestant quits the show, three new teams are formed.'''

Plot
As the episode opens, Chris McLean introduces the new season and the concept of the show, which features the competing contestants participating in culturally themed challenges all over the world and breaking into spontaneous musicals in every episode. He then introduces all the contestants, who were selected in the previous episode last season, as well as two new competitors. Chris and Chef then 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 multiple complaints about flying, the contestants quiet down and show "excitement" about the plane, and Chris decides he'll give them a tour of the plane.

Inside the plane, he tells the contestants that they must sing whenever he tells them in order to avoid instant elimination, something that is met with a barrage of complaints by every contestant, in particular from Duncan and Gwen who both hate singing. The only exception to the complaining was Courtney, who doesn't have a problem with it and states how she has always wanted to sing on television. 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 the entire tour, annoying Chris and his fellow teammates constantly.

In the winner's class compartment, Alejandro displays his charm in front of Lindsay, which immediately makes her fall for him and makes Tyler very jealous that Lindsay is paying so much more attention to another guy instead of him. As a result, Tyler attempts to impress Lindsay by trying, and ultimately failing, to do a handspring. Lindsay, however, is unable to remember Tyler's name and instead remembers Alejandro's name. 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, off screen, to climb back into the plane before it takes off by grabbing onto the landing gear and then he stows away.

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

After some traveling, the contestants arrive in Egypt where Chris announces the first challenge: "Pyramid Over Under," where contestants must climb over or go under the Pyramids and reach the finish line. The contestants split into groups. One team is Courtney, Duncan, and Gwen; another is Izzy, Owen, and Noah; another is Alejandro, Bridgette, and Lindsay; another is Leshawna, Harold, and DJ; then Heather, Sierra, and Cody; and Ezekiel and Tyler go off by themselves.

Inside the pyramid, the contestants have three paths that they may enter, each with a different symbol depicted on the top of the door. 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 disintegrate. 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 three are placed in Team One. 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 One. Alejandro and Tyler then cross the finish line and are placed on Team Two. 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 becomes 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. He tells Chris that he refuses to sing and Chris reminds him that if he doesn't sing he will be disqualified. 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.

(DJ attempts to pet the mummified dog, but it breaks into pieces) DJ: What did I do?! What did I do?! Chris: Dude, you have a contract. Duncan: Eat it, McLean!

 * Leshawna: Is there a ladies room?
 * Sierra: OMG, Chris, I am just LOL!
 * Ezekiel: We should hit the winners' compartment, eh? Cause I ain't never gonna sit back here! Hah, never!
 * Chris: If you don't receive a barf bag full of airline-issue peanuts...
 * DJ: (referring to Alejandro) That guy's smooth as mama's gravy!
 * Heather: (in cockpit confessional) I can see right through that guy! You know this extra confessional is a thousand times nicer than talking in the toilet!
 * Heather: (in washroom confessional) Anyway, with Beth gone, and Lind-siot and Ale-whatever looking like a real threat, my only strategic option is to make friends with the new girl. But pretending to like that is going to be hard! I do not heart the new girl!
 * Chef: (on the intercom) Enough singing, fruitcakes! Strap yourselves in; we are now beginning our descent into Egypt. (to himself) Musical numbers... worst idea ever. Chris is such an idiot. (Chris gasps, then looks annoyed) Hey, why's the PA light still on... ? Oh sh- (intercom cuts off).
 * Chris: (after a bell rings) Whenever you hear that friendly little bell, it's musical number time! So, let's hear it.
 * Leshawna: An eleven hour flight, Chef's in-flight cuisine, a forced musical number, and now we got a challenge?
 * Harold: Aluminum foil means the aliens can't read your brain. That's a real problem in this area.
 * Ezekiel: (running towards everybody) Wait up, yo! You guys! Wait up! (slides heel against sand to slow down, then runs up to Chris) I told ya I wasn't gonna lose this time, eh!
 * Noah: Oh great, our friendly neighborhood host dude failed to mention there were different paths.

 * Noah: It's a pyramid, not a High School.
 * (Duncan, Courtney, and Gwen are climbing up the pyramid)
 * Izzy: Guys, guys, guys! How about another musical number?! (starts singing) A pyramid is just a triangle with room inside. I would be awesome as Frankenstein's bride.
 * Tyler: Is it too late to go under instead?
 * DJ: (seeing a mummified dog) That's a real dog! Poor little guy.
 * Ezekiel: (alone inside the pyramid) Guys? Anybody? (Notices an object resembling an intercom in the wall) An intercom? What the shizzle? (into the intercom) Yo, playas! Is this thing on? (Presses it, causing a trapdoor in the ceiling to open, which drops a pile of bandages and several ancient Egyptian artifacts on top of him)
 * Alejandro: That's... wonderful! (cuts to Alejandro in the lavatory confessional) (bleep) Que idiotas! (bleep) Incompetentes! (bleep)!
 * Duncan: You know what? No. No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no. Three hours of these two squawking on this stupid pyramid in this stupid heat, and you want me to sing?! FORGET IT!
 * Cody: (In confessional) Girls on the rebound are the best! They cry, and then you get to buy them a pop and listen and then, well, they still won't go out with you, but you get to buy them a pop!
 * Ezekiel: (Sarcastically) Thanks for all the help, you knobs.

 * Ezekiel was the only contestant who started off on his own.

 * Alejandro curses in this episode, being the first person to do so this season.
 * 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 of three episodes in the series in which a contestant is eliminated halfway through the actual episode. The next two are Jamaica Me Sweat and Hawaiian Punch.

 * When the contestants get off the bus, the boys have blue backpacks and the girls have red.

Goofs

 * On lower definition television, Courtney's legs seem to leave her body for a hundredth of a second during her solo in the musical number.
 * 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 supposed to still be in the cargo hold.
 * The first time was before they all begin to sing and right after he was thrown out, when all of the contestants are sitting in the cafeteria; he was clearly seen at one of the tables with them.
 * He was also seen before the pyramid challenge, as Chris is carried up to the cast outside the Jet. Among the contestants seen in the shot, Ezekiel is one of them. But when he runs up to Chris at the starting line, Chris asks how he caught up with them.
 * When Izzy jumps on Ezekiel's shoulders, Ezekiel is missing his goatee.
 * Gwen said that Ezekiel was voted off first last time. However, since this is the third season, the last time was technically the second season, and Ezekiel wasn't in this season.
 * When Chris grabs Ezekiel to throw him out of the Total Drama Jet, Ezekiel's jacket 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 gauze, the button is gone.
 * Although it looks like it was only covered up by a slide, to block any voices.
 * 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). She is actually very excited to get on the plane. Throughout the entire season, Owen continues to be afraid of flying.
 * 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. Sierra also has multiple blogs for Cody, and possibly some other contestants.
 * In this episode, Chef is heard complaining about Chris being an idiot because of coming up with the idea of musical numbers for the season. However, in the previous episode, it was seen that Chef was the one that brought up the musical idea.
 * 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 beat-boxing, 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 knocked out 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 of.
 * 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.
 * 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.
 * When Leshawna is complaining about the prize that her team won, Harold is missing his tinfoil hat.
 * If one pauses just right during the shot of Bridgette, Lindsay, and Alejandro surfing down the pyramid, it can be seen that Bridgette has a scared look on her face as they are sliding. However, she can clearly be heard cheering as if she was having fun.
 * If one pauses when Tyler falls down the pyramid the first time, he's missing a tooth, but is later seen with a full row of teeth. Although, this was most likely a one time gag.
 * When Chris ends his tour of the plane, and the contestants are listening, Courtney's eyeballs are strangely looking two different ways.
 * When Alejandro reaches his hands down to Bridgette and Lindsay from the pyramid, his bracelets around his wrists disappear.
 * Heather is missing on the group shot before the challenge, as Chris is carried up to the cast outside the Jet.
