Zing-Zings

The Zing-Zings are an ancient tribe native to the Peruvian Amazon and are only seen in the Total Drama World Tour episode: The Am-AH-Zon Race.

Chris first introduces them to the show by stating to the contestants that the Zing-Zings are a native tribe to the Amazon and have never come into contact with modern civilization, so he warns them not to make contact with them. During the episode, Team Amazon has the unfortunate fate of making contact with two Zing-Zings when they take a wrong turn at a fork in the road. When the Zing-Zings see Team Amazon, they hold them at spear point and capture them. Later, Team Amazon is tied up to a giant tree with a rope by the tribe's home.

The song Gypsy Rap is started by the Zing-Zings playing background music with their guitars. At the end of the song, during Heather's solo, the Zing-Zings see Heather's missing tooth and then abruptly end the song to rush over and pull away a bunch of large leaves. Behind, is a wooden statue of a goddess that resembles Heather with her missing tooth, with a golden tooth in its place. They deem Heather as their leader, replace her missing tooth with a gold one, and leave the others tied up. Courtney asks Heather to tell the Zing-Zings to untie Team Amazon, but Heather tells her that if she does that, they could get angry and sacrifice one of them; however, this was clearly an excuse to hide the fact that Heather clearly enjoyed seeing the contestants whom she disliked tied up. In the end, Chef Hatchet arrives and cuts the rope with a cleaver, informing the team that the Zing-Zings they encountered weren't real. The Zing-Zings then reveal to Heather that they are actually just local Peruvian teenagers hired as actors for a Shakespearean play which disgusts her as she let them put a gold tooth in her mouth.
