Toxic Rats

The Toxic Rats are one of two opposing teams in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island. The Toxic Rats consisted of B, Dakota, Dawn, Lightning, Sam, Scott and Staci. Later on, Brick has moved to the Rats. Two episodes later, Scott switched team with Jo. The Toxic Rats' logo is a green, four-armed rat standing upright with its fists drawn out. It is mounted on a pale yellow circle with a green ring around it. The Toxic Rats were the first team to lose in the season, and thus the first to vote off a teammate, Staci was then eliminated.

In Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!, the Toxic Rats were formed by which contestant arrived at the finish line after escaping the wildlife. Lightning and Jo arrived first, and Lightning was placed on the Toxic Rats. Scott arrived third, and became the second member. B arrived fifth after Brick and became the third member. Dawn arrived eighth after Zoey and Mike, but still became the fourth member. Dakota and Sam arrived 10th and 11th and became the 5th and 6th members, followed closely by Staci who became the last member. Before learning their team name, Lightning suggested it as "Team Lightning" or "Lightning Squad", but Chris revealed that the teams were chosen by himself. The Toxic Rats performed well in the first challenge, being able to beat the Mutant Maggots even after a late start in the log race. However, their cabin was destroyed in the process. Chris declared the Maggots as the winners. Due to Staci's constant annoying chatter, she was voted off first in the Toxic Rat's first marshmallow ceremony. However, since they had a total of seven players, this elimination made both teams even.

In Truth or Laser Shark, the Toxic Rats are seen in their cabins. Dawn and Dakota are on the girls side and Lightning, Scott, B, and Sam are on the boys side. Scott went looking for the Chris Head, but was unable to find it. At the challenge, it is revealed that Sam farted on his first and only date and that B's real name is Beverly. The two teams tie in the first part of the challenge. In Part 2, the Toxic Rats evidently lose the second part, sending them to the campfire ceremony. Before the elimination, Scott and Dawn tell their team that keeping Dakota would be a bad idea. Sam wants to keep her, due to his attraction towards her. However, Dakota, who lost the challenge for the Toxic Rats, was voted out. Sam was seen disappointed.

In Ice Ice Baby, the team wins the first part of the challenge because of B's brilliant idea. Scott does not like this and wants B out as soon as possible. In the second part, the teams must throw snowballs, while trying to steal the other team's flag. Scott makes himself captain and chooses Sam and Lightning to steal the flag. In reality, Scott plans to throw the challenge. B makes a magnifying glass to help the team; however, Scott messes with it and makes the team lose. Scott blames the loss on B. Before the campfire ceremony, Scott convinces his team that B needs to go. The marshmallows go to Dawn, Lightning, and Scott. Before the eliminated contestant is announced, Dakota all of a sudden flies into the ceremony. She asks for more screen-time. Chris makes her an intern. The Marshmallow of Toxic Loserdom goes to B. Right before he gets hurled, he attempts to say something. However, Chris launches him into the sky before he could speak.

The Toxic Rats win for the first time in Finders Creepers, due to Scott and Sam making it to the end of the scavenger hunt. To make the teams even, Chris McLean switches Brick to the Rats. In Backstabbers Ahoy!, the Rats lost again and Dawn was eliminated from the game due to being framed by Scott as he claimed that she stole all the contestants' items when in reality it was him. Dawn tries to prove Scott is evil, but fails as she was put in a bag and was launched out. In Runaway Model, the Toxic Rats lost another challenge and Sam got the boot due to being useless by the others. That same episode, Chris switches Scott from the Rats to the Mutant Maggots and Jo from the Maggots to the Toxic Rats.

In A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste, the Toxic Rats lost the challenge after Brick destroyed his team's Chris statue while saving Mike, Cameron, and Zoey from a mutant gopher. Brick was eliminated because of this. Anne Maria also quit this episode, so Chris decides to bring Dakota back into the competition in order to fill the gap left by Anne Maria leaving.

For the second time in the entire season and after a very large losing streak, the Toxic Rats won the challenge and avoided elimination in The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean.

Trivia

 * The original team name for the Toxic Rats was the Radioactive Rats. On September 27, 2011, Christian Potenza confirmed that the name for the Radioactive Rats was scrapped.
 * This is the first team in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island to lose a challenge and eliminate a contestant.
 * This is also the first green-colored team in the series to lose the first challenge.
 * Before Brick was switched, this team had an uneven amount of contestants, with seven (three females and four males).
 * This is the second team to, at one point, consist entirely of one gender before the merge, the first being Team Chris Is Really Really Really Really Hot. After Dawn’s elimination, the four remaining members were all males.
 * Coincidentally, both teams had four males and one female in the elimination that made it all-male.
 * This is the first team to become an all-male team by voting off the other girls, since Izzy was pulled out of Total Drama World Tour by the military.
 * This team has the larger amount of members of the two teams in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, as it started out with 7 against the Maggots’ 6, and then gained two additional members, making it 9.
 * This team also has the third-largest amount of members of any team in the Total Drama series, only behind the Screaming Gophers and the Killer Bass (who both had 12 each).
 * The Toxic Rats hold the record for the largest elimination streak, having had 6 people eliminated from the team in a row, beating Team Victory's record of 5 eliminations in a row.
