Total Drama World Tour

Total Drama World Tour is the third season of the Total Drama series.

Overview
Fifteen previous contestants and three new ones compete in challenges all around the world. When Chris rings a bell, the contestants break into song. If they don't, they are automatically eliminated. By the rules, contestants must sing once on each episode and Chris may call a "reprise" of the song sung in the episode, although this has only happened on one occasion. Contestants subject for elimination are awarded barf bags full of airline issue peanuts, continuing the tradition of edible safety items. When a contestant is eliminated, they must take the Drop of Shame voluntarily or someone will have to force them off of the plane.

Summary
During the events of Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special, all of the contestants from the first two seasons end up going to great lengths to prevent from being has-beens and being replaced by Chris' new reality concept: Total Drama Dirtbags. Ultimately, after proving themselves through nearly catastrophic means, Chris rescues a group of fifteen (as well as two new faces) to join him on a journey around the world in the third season. Traveling around on the Total Drama Jumbo Jet, the cast participates in new challenges in various countries on six continents with all new drama and challenges awaiting them. Split into three separate teams after the first challenge, the teams work to achieve immunity as well as first-class to their next destination. The losing team is now forced to attend a ceremony where one member is forced to take the Drop of Shame from the plane to wherever they land. The lucky castmate who outlasts the rest of the contestants wins the $1,000,000 at the end of the journey.

Trivia

 * Alejandro, Blaineley, Bridgette, Cody, Courtney, DJ, Duncan, Ezekiel, Gwen, Harold, Heather, Izzy, Leshawna, Lindsay, Noah, Owen, Sierra, and Tyler were the eighteen contestants who competed.
 * Blaineley did not originally qualify, however, she debuted in Niagara Brawls, similar to how Courtney debuted in Ocean's Eight - Or Nine during the previous season.
 * This is the first season where a female contestant wins in America.
 * There are three new competitors in Total Drama World Tour that have never competed in any previous season, for the first time ever: Alejandro, Blaineley, and Sierra.
 * Interestingly, the three newcomers all end up making the final seven.
 * Although Alejandro and Sierra are the only ones that made it there and were competing the entire way, Blaineley debuted in the merge.
 * This is the first season to take place outside of Canada, although they have returned to Canada four times, in Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, Newf Kids on the Rock, Niagara Brawls, and Awwwwww, Drumheller.
 * This is also the first, and currently only, season to not have at least one episode feature Camp Wawanakwa in it.
 * This makes Canada the most visited country throughout the series.
 * The Walk of Shame is now the Drop of Shame, in which the eliminated contestants must jump with a parachute out of the plane.
 * This is the first season to feature "fake eliminations," in which Chris has all members of the losing team vote like they regularly would, then reveal the result, but not actually count that person as eliminated.
 * This is also the first season in which Chris himself deliberately and unfairly bends the rules to basically eliminate whoever he wants to, as he does this in Greece's Pieces and Awwwwww, Drumheller.
 * The original name of the season was "Total Drama, the Musical." This was brought up in the Celebrity Manhunt special, in which Chris and Chef start singing "Total Drama Musical." This was also brought up in Aftermath: Revenge of the Telethon, when the screen said "TDM Telethon," but quickly changed back to "TDWT Telethon."
 * This is the first season to feature an odd amount of contestants competing from the start.
 * Similarly to how Total Drama Action started out with an even number of contestants and ended with an odd amount, this season started out with an odd number of contestants and ended with an even amount.
 * This is the first (and currently the only) season in which the sleeping arrangements are co-ed, and have no noticeable male/female barriers. This is also the first time that the different living quarters don't have any actual beds, as first class simply has the luxurious seats, and the economy class has wooden slats.
 * This season's three teams are Team Victory, Team Amazon, and Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot. These teams have differences to the other teams in the previous seasons.
 * These team names were chosen by the contestants who were put on team one, team two, and team three.
 * Unlike the other two seasons, the team names do not have "Screaming" and "Killer" in them.
 * This is the first time teams have an uneven amount of players at the start of the season. Team Amazon and Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot had five, and Team Victory had six.
 * This is the only season so far with someone eliminated in the first episode.
 * This is the only season so far with the number of days not confirmed. This is due to the fact that the intervals of time to travel between locations would obviously vary, as they went from Canada to America at one point, and Australia to Sweden at another.
 * Although the contestants never mention or show any signs of this.
 * This is the first time Heather competes with her hair since I Triple Dog Dare You!.
 * This season has previous antagonists and a new one.
 * This is the first (and so far, the only) season in the series to feature two confessionals. The first, and more commonly-used one, is in the Jet's lavatory (reminiscent of the original Confession Cam in Total Drama Island). The second one is in the Jet's Cockpit, with Chef or Chris always in the background due to being the pilots.
 * Leshawna is the first contestant to use the lavatory confessional, as well as the very first confessional overall, and Heather is the first contestant to use the Jet's cockpit confessional and both confessionals.
 * Ezekiel, Harold, and Izzy are the only contestants to never use the confessional this season. However, Ezekiel and Harold used the confessional to vote in Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 2.
 * This is the second season in a row that a contestant has quit the competition.
 * Due to Harold quitting, this season marks the first time that there has been more than one contestant quitting, as Total Drama Action only had one contestant quitting.
 * This is the first season in the Total Drama series to feature another way of elimination, aside from being voted off (unless you count quitting) because Chris (and Bridgette) state that if the contestants do not sing, they will be eliminated. Despite this, only Rowin' Time, Before We Die, Condor, I'm Gonna Make It, and Versus feature all remaining contestants singing.
 * This is the second time Ezekiel was voted off Total Drama first. He was originally eliminated by Chris, but came back. Since Duncan quit the show, he was not voted off, and Ezekiel was voted off the following episode, making Ezekiel the first contestant voted off of Total Drama World Tour. Ezekiel was voted off Total Drama Island first as well.
 * Apart from not singing, the way contestants can also get eliminated is by the original way of casting votes. This season's votes are cast by putting a stamp on the passport of the contestant that the contestants want to vote off.
 * This is the only season so far to have most of the episodes broadcast in Australia before the U.S.A. and Canada.
 * The first four contestants eliminated were on the Killer Bass in the first season.
 * After Duncan quit, the next five contestants eliminated are from Team Victory. It's the first time in all three seasons that a team loses five of their members in a row.
 * This is the first season in the Total Drama series to have two people remaining on a team before the merge.
 * This is also the first season to feature only one person left on a team before the merge.
 * This is also the first season to have a team completely eliminated before the merge.
 * Jamaica Me Sweat features the first double elimination (Izzy and DJ) in Total Drama World Tour, and the third overall in the Total Drama series. Both eliminations are somewhat irregular, as DJ was automatically eliminated due to being the last member on his team, and Izzy was taken away by the army. The second elimination, and the fourth overall in the series, happens in Chinese Fake-Out, when Blaineley and Courtney are both eliminated. The third elimination, and the fifth overall in the series, happens in Hawaiian Punch, when Cody is eliminated after losing the tiebreaker challenge, and Alejandro loses the final challenge to Heather, thereby eliminating himself.
 * This makes DJ the only contestant not to be voted off three seasons in a row.
 * DJ was going to be voted off in Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan, but Harold quit leaving him safe.
 * This is the first season where someone had to leave because of medical problems.
 * This is the first season where, on several instances, Chris begins the recap by saying "Last time on Total Drama" rather than the full name of the season.
 * Also, this is the first season where more than three people have closed an episode with the season name, in this season, Geoff, Chris, Bridgette, and Eva have all closed it.
 * This is the only season so far where the team names don't go along with the theme of the season.
 * In Total Drama Island, the Screaming Gophers and Killer Bass names went along with the summer camp theme because both bass and gophers could be associated with Camp Wawanakwa's forest setting.
 * In Total Drama Action, the Screaming Gaffers and Killer Grips went along with the movie theme because gaffers and grips are equipment used in movie production.
 * Team Amazon may make exception to this as, although the Amazons were a legendary race of female warriors in Greek mythology, the team may also have been named after the Amazon Rainforest and the Amazon River, visited in The Am-AH-Zon Race.
 * This is the first season where a previously eliminated contestant is brought back into the game without being an actual competitor. In this case, when Ezekiel was brought back to aid in a challenge in I See London... and African Lying Safari.
 * This is the only season with only one contestant returning after elimination; it would have been two if Ezekiel was allowed back in the game.
 * Total Drama World Tour has the most various ways characters have been removed from the show. This includes quitting, voting, eliminating, leaving due to injuries, and losing tie breaking challenges.
 * Total Drama World Tour is the first season to have an adult competing in the competition.
 * This is the first season to feature three double eliminations.
 * This makes it the second season to feature double eliminations, the other being Total Drama Action.
 * Ezekiel, Noah, Tyler, Cody, Courtney, and Heather all made it farther than they did in Total Drama Island.
 * However, Izzy, Leshawna, Lindsay, Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Gwen, Duncan, and Owen did not.
 * Since Owen won Total Drama Island, he can't do better than that.
 * Bridgette, Gwen, DJ, and Heather all made it farther than they did in Total Drama Action.
 * However, Izzy, Courtney, Leshawna, Lindsay, Harold, Duncan, and Owen did not.
 * Duncan won Total Drama Action, so he couldn't have done better than that.
 * This season has the most one-on-one physical violence, with multiple characters being punched, slapped, choked or otherwise harmed by other contestants.
 * All the males who competed in Total Drama Island but not Total Drama Action were eliminated in the same order as before. Ezekiel was eliminated first, followed by Noah, Tyler, and finally Cody.
 * This is the first season where Izzy doesn't return to the competition after being eliminated.
 * This is the first season where Leshawna and Lindsay compete but don't make it to the merge.
 * Once again, the final two are a boy and a girl.
 * DJ, Tyler, Izzy, Sierra, and Alejandro all left this season with injuries.
 * This is the second season in which the final two are from two different teams, the first season being Total Drama Action.
 * So far this is the only season where the final two interact with each other in the opening.
 * This is the only season where both of the final two have everyone-conflicts.
 * Despite Chris saying there are going to be reprises in songs throughout the show, there is only one reprise in the whole season.
 * All of the newcomers to the show ended up with serious injuries by the end of the competition.
 * Alejandro was incredibly injured by lava and trampling in Hawaiian Punch.
 * Sierra was rendered bald and placed in a wheelchair because of the plane's explosion in Awwwwww, Drumheller.
 * Blaineley was placed in a full body cast after landing on a small Chinese hut after taking the Drop of Shame in Chinese Fake-Out.
 * Blaineley is the only newcomer that remains with her hair after the season concluded.
 * With Heather's win this season, the three season winners have all been in the final four of Total Drama Island.
 * Gwen is the only original final four contestant to never win.
 * The final three this season consist of one female and two males. This is the reverse of Total Drama Island's final three, which consisted of two females and one male.
 * This is the first season where none of the eighteen contestants are seen in their pajamas.
 * This is the first season in which neither Owen nor Duncan make it to the final four.
 * This season has the most irregular eliminations. Only seven contestants were voted off the normal way.
 * This is the first season in which there is a tie between the votes at an elimination ceremony; in this case, it was in Picnic at Hanging Dork and Chinese Fake-Out.
 * This is the first season to have ended in November in America, instead of December like Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action. This is due to the Aftermath episodes airing online, as opposed to television, like Total Drama Action did.
 * Therefore, only twenty-two episodes aired in America. Making this the first season where not every episode aired on television.
 * This season's teams are in alphabetical order and how well they did: Team Amazon, Team Chris, and Team Victory are in order alphabetically and how they did in the season.
 * As of this season, Duncan is the only contestant to have made it to the final five in every season he has competed in.
 * It is however the first season he hasn't appeared through the whole season up until his elimination, this is because he originally quit in the first episode.
 * This season shares several similarities with The Amazing Race, as both shows involve teams competing around the world in culturally themed challenges for one million dollars.
 * Total Drama World Tour won "Best Animated Series," "Best Voice Talent," and "Best Tweens/Teens Program" in the Tweens/Teens, Creative Talent, and Viewers Choice categories for the 2011 KidScreen Awards.
