Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!

'''The fourth season begins, introducing a B|whole new cast, set at Camp Wawanakwa, which has turned into a bio-hazardous waste dump.

Plot
The episode begins with an introduction from Chris, who explains that the season will take place at Camp Wawanakwa, similar to Total Drama Island, the show's first season. Next, all the original contestants on a yacht floating by the island for the last time, where the thirteen new contestants are then introduced to the island and are given the first challenge: to compete in a race that determines which campers are on which teams, with seven contestants ending up on the Toxic Rats and six contestants on the Mutant Maggots. Chris also introduces the "Chris heads", an item that when found, allows a contestant to stay in the competition even when voted out for their first time. From there, they must cut down a totem pole that is hanging from a tree, with a timed bomb strapped to it, and slide it down a hill to place it on a tree stump between the cabins. Even though the Rats successfully complete the challenge, the Maggots still win since they destroyed the "great" cabin which made Chris happy since the campers now get to sleep in an ugly cabin. The Rats are taken to the first elimination campfire ceremony, and Staci is voted off by the Rats due to her excessive lying. She was the first to be caltapulted from the Hurl of Shame at 13th place. Owen also makes a cameo in this episode.

Cast
