Campfire Ceremony

The Campfire Ceremony is a ceremony that takes place at the campfire pit where one of the campers from the losing team from the days challenge is eliminated from Total Drama Island. Early in the competition, the campers were divided into two teams, the Killer Bass and the Screaming Gophers. The team that lost the days challenge that day went to the ceremony, while the team that won earned invincibility and exemption from the ceremony. After the merge in No Pain, No Game, all contestants still on the island attended the ceremony.

Chris would then hand out marshmallows to the campers, and whoever didn't receive a marshmallow would be eliminated. The camper who is voted off must walk the Dock of Shame and then must catch a ride on the Boat of Losers. Instead of being sent home, the contestants are sent to a five-star resort known as the Playa Des Losers. The campfire ceremony is featured in almost every episode of "Total Drama Island".

The campfire ceremonies were replaced with the Gilded Chris Ceremony in the following season, and the marshmallows have been replaced with a small chocolate sculpture of Chris covered with gold foil, called Gilded Chris Awards. In Total Drama World Tour, the ceremony was replaced with the Barf Bag Ceremony, with contestants receiving Barf Bags Full of Airline Issued Peanuts instead.

In Awwwwww, Drumheller, Chris plays homage to the Campfire Ceremony during the Barf Bag Ceremony, holding the ceremony outside, in front of a makeshift bonfire, with strands of lights similar to the ones at the original setting strung between two tiki statues, and handing out marshmallows instead of Barf Bags. However, he never finishes the ceremony due to someone's mistake.

Trivia

 * Some campfire ceremonies have a certain event take place that makes them unique from the rest.
 * Not So Happy Campers - Part 2 - The suspense of Chris announcing who the final marshmallow goes to was extremely long, due to it being the first ceremony. To this day, it remains the longest amount of time he's taken to hand out the final Immunity symbol in any elimination ceremony.
 * Up the Creek - Before someone could be kicked off, the RCMP swooped in to arrest Izzy, however she escaped and is thus eliminated. The other candidate for elimination, Lindsay, was thus safe by default. It is unknown who would've truly been eliminated.
 * No Pain, No Game - Chris shows the campers the confessional videos instead of handing out marshmallows (because they ran out of them).
 * Search and Do Not Destroy - Chris passed the marshmallows to everyone (excluding Trent) faster than his normal pace for no apparent reason.
 * Hook, Line, and Screamer - No marshmallows were given out; Chris announced that Gwen won immunity, and DJ was eliminated.
 * Camp Castaways - An inanimate object was eliminated by Chris.
 * The Very Last Episode, Really! - The winner of the competition was given the final marshmallow and was announced at the ceremony rather than someone being voted off. Additionally, all of the eliminated campers were allowed to attend this ceremony.
