Wheel of Misfortune

The Wheel of Misfortune is an item that appears in Total Drama Island and Total Drama All-Stars. It was used for the challenges in No Pain, No Game and Suckers Punched. The wheel has various challenges depending on the image the spinner lands on.

Total Drama Island
The wheel is first used in No Pain, No Game where the contestant must survive at least ten seconds for each event on the wheel. If a contestant fails to complete the challenge landed on, they would be eliminated and forced to remain in colonial-style stocks. If the contestant could complete the challenge, they would pick the next victim and they would move on to the next dare they are chosen for. The last contestant standing wins invincibility and a great prize. Many of these challenges include animals, "spa treatments," and normal personal care chores put to the extreme.

There supposedly was at least six more tortures, as Chris stated that after "twenty rounds of torture" only Leshawna and Eva were left. These six torture challenges most likely happened off-screen.

Total Drama All Stars
The Wheel of Misforune makes a return four seasons later in Suckers Punched. This time, the contestants who spin the wheel must face the opponent where ever the wheel stops. However, Chris rigged the wheel to make it stop at the slot where the contestants have trouble facing. Due to her helping to give her team to win the previous challenge, Zoey doesn't need to spin the wheel and she gain a free point for her team. Ultimately, the Vultures wins the challenge with the score of 3-2.
