"Filler" is officially defined as additional scenes added into an animated show, after it was transcribed from paper. Anime is one of the main culprits of this, but it's not restricted to it. Although since Total Drama is the original thing it wouldn't have "true fillers".

However, these days the weird is used to describe any random thing that seems to be made last minute and doors fit well with the rest of the continuity.
