List of Total Drama challenges

Chris McLean likes to torment the campers with various challenges (most of which are painful and hated by the campers). The challenges usually come with a twist (which Chris does not tell the campers about until they need to know about it). Usually if something happens in a challenge, it turns out to be Chris's special idea (though this has not been the case in certain challenges. When a camper wins a challenge they (or their team) receive invincibility from elimination.

Sometimes a camper will be eliminated depending on how they perform in the challenge (in the case of Lindsay, Heather, and DJ). A few of the challenges seem to be based off of some campers' hobbies, talents or personalities.
