Drop of Shame


 * For the article on the Drop of Shame game of Cartoon Network, please see here.

The Drop of Shame is the Total Drama World Tour counterpart to the Dock of Shame, the Walk of Shame, and the Hurl of Shame seen in other seasons of the show.

In Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1, Chris McLean is seen introducing the Drop of Shame. However, he is interrupted repeatedly by Ezekiel, which causes Chris to toss Ezekiel out of the plane as a demonstration on how one takes the Drop of Shame. Later, in the next episode, Team Victory is the first team to attend a Barf Bag Ceremony, and Ezekiel is eliminated yet again. Following Ezekiel's elimination, Chef Hatchet kicks Ezekiel out the plane door aggressively when he takes too long to scold his team for voting him off. However, Ezekiel manages to grab onto the tail wing of the plane, vowing that the game is still his. Following that, Chris demands that Duncan takes the Drop of Shame too. Duncan, however, refuses to and says that he is supposed to be given a ride home. Chris then responds that they're going the other way and shoves Duncan off the plane through the open door, with a parachute in hand.

In Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan, when the cast is in the cafeteria, Chef slices open one of the plane's side doors with a Chinese sword so that they all fall out of the plane similarly to the Drop of Shame, due to the uncontrolled decompression sucking them all out of it. They also have to do a musical number while they're falling, Before We Die. Later, during the Barf Bag Ceremony, the Drop of Shame is open the whole time and the contestants do not take a seat. When Chris is about to give DJ the last barf bag, Harold interrupts him by taking his lightsaber and makes a fake attempt at killing himself, followed by stumbling over to the door and throwing himself out without a parachute, effectively quitting the competition and sparing DJ. Chris throws one down after him and wishes him good luck.

In Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better, the contestants exited the plane through the Drop of Shame's door after the Jumbo Jet landed in the Yukon. During the elimination ceremony, Bridgette is voted out and is the first girl voted off overall. While falling, her parachute gets tangled with her flag pole, causing her to continue falling at the same speed. The Drop of Shame is briefly seen in Broadway, Baby! while Heather throws a meat grinder off the Drop of Shame, thinking that it "must be the booby prize."

In Slap Slap Revolution, the contestants went out an opening in the bottom of the plane rather than exiting out the Drop of Shame. During the elimination ceremony, Leshawna was voted off, but before she could put on her parachute, Alejandro pushed her out the plane.

In Can't Help Falling in Louvre, the Drop of Shame is seen at night for the first time, when Lindsay takes the Drop of Shame after her elimination, with Tyler and Chris watching. However, she hits the top of her head against the door and falls down the Drop Of Shame while screaming.

In Jamaica Me Sweat, the Drop of Shame is used, DJ jumps only a short drop before landing on the ground, due to the non-fueled plane not flying and still on the ground. Chris tells him that it isn't the same without the scream to make it sound more realistic, DJ sighs and does an emotionless scream, but then a colony of red ants suddenly attack him, making DJ really scream.

In I See London..., Noah willingly takes the Drop of Shame and is not forced to jump, becoming the only contestant to do so.

In Greece's Pieces, Chris forces an intern to take the Drop of Shame without a parachute because Chris didn't know the Olympics took place in Greece. After Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot loses their second challenge in a row, Chris throws another intern out of the plane, except this one received a parachute. He did this because he wanted to save Duncan due to all of the drama he would create with the Duncan and Gwen interaction.

In The EX-Files, Tyler is shocked to be voted out and asks if there will be a re-vote when Courtney complains about the result. But in frustration, Courtney shoves Tyler out of the plane, forcing him to take the Drop of Shame.

In Picnic at Hanging Dork, Gwen and Courtney receive an equal amount of votes, and Courtney wins the tie-breaker challenge, causing Gwen to take the Drop of Shame. While attempting to insult Courtney, Gwen falls out, while Courtney smiles victoriously.

In Niagara Brawls, Owen was voted off for his popularity. He jumps out the plane but gets stuck in the door. Alejandro helps him by kicking him off the plane, and is farted on.

In Chinese Fake-Out, Courtney and Blaineley are eliminated. Courtney swears revenge on Duncan and Chris. Blaineley then says her final words: that Ezekiel is still on the plane, that Cody has voted for Sierra in each elimination and that she needs to "get a clue," and that Heather and Alejandro needs to "give it up and make out already." She then continues on about how she would've been the host of Total Drama if she hadn't refused, to which Chris shoves both girls out of the plane.

In African Lying Safari, Duncan was voted off the show because of Alejandro and Heather. After it was revealed, Duncan admits that he kind of expected that. He later rants by saying that he could've had a bigger chance at something else before Chris pushed him off the plane off-screen. He is currently the last person to take the Drop of Shame, as Sierra blew up the plane before she was eliminated next. However, in Planes, Trains, and Hot Air Mobiles, when Sierra asks Chris about her elimination, Chris references the drop by telling her to just imagine she took it.

 * Gwen was holding her parachute, but she fell out the plane before she could get a chance to put it on, perhaps because of her allergies affecting her sight.
 * Owen got stuck in the door, and Alejandro had to kick him out. Upon kicking him, Owen farted in Alejandro's face before he fell out, leaving Alejandro coughing.
