Elimination (Total Drama)



Elimination is the process in Total Drama Island, Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour when a team (Screaming Gophers, Killer Bass, Screaming Gaffers, Killer Grips, Team Amazon, Team Victory, or Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot) or the current campers vote off a fellow contestant.

Elimination usually occurs during a Campfire Ceremony, Awards Ceremony, or Barf Bag Ceremony. Chris McLean will hand out a marshmallow, Gilded Chris Award, or barf bag and whoever doesn't receive one has been eliminated from the competition. In some rare instances, no awards are handed out to anyone at all. He says once a contestant walks the Dock of Shame (in Total Drama Island), Walk of Shame (in Total Drama Action) or take the Drop of Shame (in Total Drama World Tour), that they can never come back, "ever." However, in No Pain, No Game the producers bring back Izzy and Eva come back as contestants, which prompts Chris to say "I lied." Also, things that aren't human have been voted off. Lindsay, DJ and Heather all left in a sudden-death elimination in the first season. In the second season there is an occasion where DJ eliminates himself from the competition, despite his team having won.

During the first, second and third season of the Total Drama Series, a contestant always had a video made of their best moments and how they were eliminated, posted on their respective Cartoon Network website.

Also, all the eliminations have a pattern:


 * In two members: Ezekiel (Bass), Eva (Bass), Noah (Gopher), Justin (Gopher), Katie (Bass), Tyler (Bass)
 * In three members: Izzy (Gopher), Cody (Gopher), Beth (Gopher), Sadie (Bass), Courtney (Bass), Harold (Bass)
 * Member of different teams: Eva again (Bass), Trent (Gopher), Bridgette (Bass), Lindsay (Gopher), DJ (Bass), Izzy again (Gopher), Geoff (Bass), Leshawna (Gopher), Duncan (Bass), Heather (Gopher)

Coincidentally, there is the same pattern that the previous season in Total Drama Action, starting with E-Scope.


 * In two members: E-Scope (Grip), Trent (Grip), Gwen (Gaffer), DJ (Gaffer), Izzy or Explosivo (Grip), Owen (Grip), Heather (Gaffer), Leshawna (Gaffer), Justin (Grip) and Lindsay (Grip)
 * Also, (if one has Bridgette technically be eliminated first and Geoff second) the eliminations seem to be going Female then Male.


 * Bridgette (Female), Geoff (Male), E-Scope (Female), Trent (Male), Gwen (Female), DJ (Male), Izzy or Explosivo (Female), Owen (Male), and Heather (Female)
 * With Leshawna's elimination, the pattern has been broken. However with Justin's elimination, it returned to Female-Male:
 * Leshawna (Female), Justin (Male), Lindsay (Female), Harold (Male), Courtney (Female), Owen (Male), Beth (Female)


 * It is notable that in Total Drama World Tour, there is a pattern: three males, three females
 * Duncan (Male), Ezekiel (Male), Harold (Male), Bridgette (Female), Leshawna (Female), Lindsay (Female)
 * The pattern stopped at Izzy, but has continued:
 * DJ (Male), Noah (Male), Tyler (Male), Gwen (Female)
 * The pattern was once again stopped at Owen. However, a team pattern then continued (besides Blaineley):
 * Owen (Chris), Courtney (Amazon), Duncan (Chris), Sierra (Amazon)
 * Besides Blaineley, there is a male-female pattern.
 * Owen (Male), Courtney (Female), Duncan (Male), Sierra (Female), Cody (Male), Heather (Female), Alejandro (Male)

 * Owen, who pairs with Izzy, was voted off on Ocean's Eight - Or Nine, because all the Killer Grips team voted Courtney off in that episode, despite learning that she had immunity due to a lawsuit. As Courtney voted for Owen, her vote was the only valid and Owen ended up voted off.
