Thirteen past contestants, the all-stars of Total Drama, return for another chance to win one-million dollars at the newly redeemed camp. Seven contestants are deemed as heroes, while the others are deemed as villains (along with a robot). While competing for a chance at invincibility and a night at the new spa hotel, old heartache rears its ugly head, and old rivals reunite. Shockingly, an archenemy returns and wins it for his team, while one of the friendliest contestants is flushed away.

Plot

Heroes vs

Chef bails Chris out of prison.

The episode begins with Chef Hatchet walking down a prison's hallway, as Chris, who is still behind bars since the end of the previous season, narrates a fake Total Drama season that he has made up in his head while incarcerated. Several other locked up people's voices are heard, often telling Chris to be quiet or trying to get attention in some way. Eventually, Chef arrives at Chris's cell, visiting him for the first time after a whole year. Chris is seen trying to create a Total Drama season using bugs, referring to them as "Duncan" and "Lightning." Chef states that Chris's one-year prison sentence for dumping toxic waste on Camp Wawanakwa is over, and that he can leave, but Chris refuses to, saying that he has everything he needs in prison. Once Chef announces that the producers have green-lit another season, Chris ultimately changes his mind, and resumes his role as the show's host.

Heroes vs Villains (3)

Chris introduces the new season after Chef Hatchet bails him out of jail.

After the theme song, Chris returns to Camp Wawanakwa and, alongside the Robot, welcomes the viewers to Total Drama All-Stars, which is once again taking place in Camp Wawanakwa because Chris needs to be in a "familiar environment around people he loves… to hurt." For this season, fourteen of Total Drama's all-star contestants have been brought back to compete for the prize of $1,000,000. After Chris's short introduction, the contestants arrive in a helicopter in the following order: seven contestants from the previous season: Mike, his alternate personalities, Zoey, Lightning (with his hair still white), Cameron, Sam, Scott (having fully recovered from his injuries and no longer confined to the trauma chair), and Jo, and six contestants from the first three seasons: Courtney, Gwen, Duncan, Heather, Lindsay, and a now fully-recovered Sierra, and seemingly the still-feral Ezekiel. However, as Ezekiel drops down from the helicopter, the Robot's arm extends into a plunger which rockets the feral ex-contestant away, after which Chris says that there is no way Ezekiel is ever coming back. Now on the shore, Heather denies missing Alejandro after Lindsay taunts her, asking her if she misses her "honey bunny." Courtney tells Chris that he will pay for her dry cleaning. Much to her chagrin, Chris reveals that they agreed to new contracts.

Courtney
Same old Chris, same old disgusting island. What was I thinking?
Villanousvulturesformed

The Villainous Vultures are formed.

Chris reveals that the island has been cleared of radiation, disappointing Sam as he only returned to get radiated, and join his girlfriend Dakota as a mutant. Chris tells the contestants that the losers will stay in a run-down cabin, while the winners stay at the McLean Spa Hotel. He then announces that, in honor of their all-star status, the contestants are going to compete for the million dollars "Heroes vs. Villains" style.

TDAS Heather
Heather
Obviously, I'll be on the villains' team, and I'll be running it by lunch.

Heroes versus villains? Guess Duncan and I won't be on the same team, unless Chris considers Duncan a hero. (chuckles) Yeah, right.

The Heroic Hamsters are formed.

He then divides the cast into two teams, explaining that they will be placed on the appropriate team based on their past performances in the game:

Gwen is confused that she is considered a villain, to which Courtney angrily reminds her why she is a villain, once again bringing up Gwen kissing Duncan, as Chris agrees. Duncan tries to cheer Gwen up by saying he is happy that they are both on the same team.

TDAS Duncan
Duncan
Oh, man, I only came back for Gwen. She better not sulk the whole time, or I may as well be dating Courtney.

However, Jo complains that the Villainous Vultures only have six members, and are one member short. Chris tells her that they needed another seat on the helicopter for the Ezekiel prank, causing Jo to glare at him. This prompts Chris to place his robot onto their team. Scott wonders why the robot can't talk while it tries to get near Heather, which she pushes away.

TDAS Heather
Heather
(shuddering) There is something about that robot I just don't like.

Chris explains that the challenges will be a combination of past seasons' challenges. He then reveals the first challenge, which is to jump off the one-thousand foot tall cliff into shark-infested waters and find the key that opens the door to the hotel.

TDAS Scott
Scott
(shivers) Okay, so maybe I have a phobia of s-s-s-sharks. Can you blame me?

After retrieving the key, the diver will board a baby carriage where one selected teammate will transport them to the hotel where they will test the key. Chris then orders the contestants to meet him at the top of the cliff, and tells Mike there's no time to change into their swimsuits.

GwenandVillains

Gwen wants to play nice in a team of villains.

As the contestants walk through the woods, Heather orders the robot to stay away from her, while Sierra reveals to Sam that she returned to win for Cody.

TDAS Sierra
Sierra
(crying) I miss my Cody-bear… so much!

Heather and Jo soon enter a conflict, while Gwen tries to convince the others that they should act as a team, causing them to reveal in the confessional that they do not trust anyone else on the team. Gwen catches Courtney glaring at her, causing Duncan to glare at her back for Gwen; however, Courtney looks away, confusing him.

TDAS Duncan
Duncan
I'm having used to girls yell at me and even punch me, but blank me? That's—that's just wrong. Uh, I mean… Pffft, whatever.

Lindsay then tells Courtney that Duncan wants her to yell at him, but she refuses, by stating there's no point as he doesn't listen and then reveals she thought she was friends with Gwen. When she says that she refuses to make that mistake again, Lindsay is amazed by Courtney's ability to stop making mistakes, and asks Courtney to help her do the same.

JoGwenArgue

"Nobody tells me what to do, Gothball! And don't even try to kiss me!"

– Jo

At the base of the cliff, Chris has the teams pick a driver. Scott, Jo, and Lightning wrestle for the position which Jo ultimately wins by lying about being a cart driving champion.

TDAS Jo
Jo
No, I'm not, I just said that because—
TDAS Lightning
Lightning
Gotta respect championship status. Jo drives.

Gwen tells Jo that she should be a diver instead due to her athletic ability, but Jo refuses and taunts Gwen about her status as a boyfriend kisser.

TDAS Gwen
Gwen
After three season of kindness, I'm reduced to evil-kisser status? For the last time, Duncan and Courtney were over before he and I started, you can't steal the boyfriend if the boy is free!

Cameron, Mike, and Zoey are unable to decide who should be the driver, causing Courtney to pick Lindsay and pushes her into the carriage. The rest of the all-stars race to the top of the cliff, with Lightning arriving first. Scott, Mike, and Zoey gasp at seeing Fang amongst the sharks as Lightning jumps and punches the mutant shark in the nose. Courtney quickly follows but the Vultures take the lead. Upon entering the baby stroller, Courtney orders Lindsay to drive, but she doesn't remember the way to the hotel. Frustrated, Courtney demands that she'll drive but is stopped by Chris and tells her that only the one chosen to drive shall drive. Courtney tells Lindsay to push and Lindsay asks her how to push, frustrating Courtney even more.

Jo and Lightning form a short-lived alliance.

Jo and Lightning agree to stay out of each other's way until the teams merge. The challenge continues as the keys don't fit. On the top of the cliff, Sierra informs Gwen and Duncan about the fans that hate their relationship, but supports them by stating love is love. Upon seeing Jo returning, Duncan tries to kiss Gwen for good luck, but she pushes him off the cliff as she is still troubled by the jock's comment. Sierra jumps for the Hamsters as Duncan and Jo head back to the hotel. Lindsay returns but Sierra jumps in before Courtney could depart, making the baby stroller heavier for Lindsay to push. Jo tells Duncan that he better not get in the way of her becoming leader, but he states he doesn't want to be a leader. When they arrive, Duncan's key does not fit, causing Jo to make a cynical comment, which Duncan finds funny.

TDAS Jo
Jo
Wow, someone finally appreciates my killer zingers!

The two return to the cliff where the challenge continues. Zoey kisses Mike on the cheek for good luck and he jumps for the Hamsters, but knocks Gwen in the water with him, while Zoey flings rocks at the sharks to stop them from hurting him. Gwen and Jo increase the lead for the Vultures while Mike waits for Lindsay to return. Sierra disembarks the carriage followed by an injured Courtney. Jo complains about her team unable to find the correct key while Mike steers himself toward the hotel followed by an exhausted Lindsay.

TDAS Lindsay
Lindsay
I wanna win the million so I can spend it on a lifetime supply of lip gloss, but I forgot how hard this is! Never thought I'd say it, but… No lip gloss is worth this!
Reaction

Most of the All-Stars' reaction upon seeing Alejandro freed from the Drama Machine.

Sam and Heather soon dive with Sam being targeted by the sharks. However, both keys fail and Zoey soon jumps. Scott refuses to dive due to his severe phobia of sharks, and clings to a rock for support as Lightning tries to yank him off. Zoey boards the baby carriage, and the Hamsters take the lead. Lightning then accidentally knocks the robot off the cliff much to Heather's delight. The robot is then attacked by the sharks, causing it to explode. A bearded and shaggy Alejandro then pops out of the robot suit, scaring and surprising everyone, especially Heather. Alejandro catches a stray key, but his non-responding legs make him fall to the ground.

TDAS Alejandro
Alejandro
Last thing I remember, I was burned to a crisp by the volcano, and Chris sealed me up in that robot suit to heal. It feels good to be free after all this time. I must thank Scott for his cowardice. I was stuck in that robot suit for a year, my legs are so asleep like they're in a coma. Wakey-wakey! Nothing.

Alejandro is lifted onto the carriage allowing Jo to race back to the hotel. Zoey's key doesn't open the door and she boards the carriage, but Lindsay catches sight of Alejandro and gasps, asking when he arrived. Alejandro states he's always been at the island as Jo carries him up the stairs where they finally unlock the hotel thus winning the challenge for the Villainous Vultures. Chris announces that the Vultures now get to sleep in the McLean Spa Hotel, while the Heroic Hamsters have to sleep in the regular cabin and vote someone off.

The McLean-Brand Chris Head returns for another season.

At the elimination ceremony, Chris explains that the winning team can now sit in the peanut gallery and watch the losers send someone home. Gwen awkwardly tries to apologize to Courtney with flowers, but Courtney is allergic to them and calls Gwen a villain. Chris then asks for a volunteer from the Villainous Vultures which Lightning is quick to agree to only to discover the reward is a chance of finding the McLean-Brand Chris Head by spending the night at its location, Boney Island in exile. Chris then reveals the new voting style for eliminating contestants which is by marking an X on a picture of the contestant they wish to eliminate in the confessional. Chris gives Cameron, Mike, Sam, Sierra, and Zoey marshmallows, leaving Courtney and Lindsay in the bottom two. He explains that they are there because Courtney designated Lindsay as the driver which she was horrible at. Lindsay is voted off which she is excited about until she asks if she has to take the Hurl of Shame. Chris denies it and throws her into a giant toilet called the Flush of Shame. Lindsay attempts to say good-bye as she is flushed away. Chris closes the episode and opens an umbrella as toilet water falls on the remaining Hamsters.

Lindsay is chased by Vince in the New York sewers.

Lindsay ends up in the sewers of New York, landing on top of Vince's head. At first, Lindsay admires the alligator's skin, asking where the alligator got its "amazing alligator coat," oblivious of the danger she is in. The alligator roars, and Lindsay flips off of it, and into the water. Lindsay runs, screaming from the alligator as it chases after her.

Trivia

General

Continuity

References

  • Boney Island is converted to a location where a member of the winning team is banished and given the opportunity to hopefully find the McLean-Brand Chris Head. This twist is a reference to Exile Island from Survivor.
    • Also, this episode has many similarities with the twentieth season of Survivor:
      • The name of this episode shares the same name as Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains.
      • Gwen's reaction of being placed on the Villains' team is similar to the reaction of Sandra Diaz-Twine.
      • Lindsay's elimination is a reference to Sugar Kiper. Both are blonde females from the Heroes' team who end up being the first contestants voted off the season after being responsible for their team's loss in the challenge and rubbing their fellow teammates the wrong way.
  • The way the sharks attack Sam is similar to the death of the first victim from Jaws.

Goofs

  • When Heather's hair is wet, her ponytail is short rather than long, but when it is dry she has her long ponytail again.
  • Alejandro is seen in the Drama Machine during "Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!" holding Heather, who is looking at him annoyingly. However, she, along with everyone else, doesn't know he's in the Drama Machine in this episode.
  • Alejandro claims he was in the suit for a year, which would be impossible since he was placed in the suit at the end of "Hawaiian Punch" and Chris has been in prison for a year after Total Drama: Revenge of the Island, which occurred a year after Total Drama World Tour.
  • Gwen claims that Courtney was not Duncan's girlfriend when it happened in "I See London…" However, this is inaccurate as the couple only breaks up two episodes later.
  • There are several goofs in Ezekiel's entrance scene:
    • When the robot's plunger catches Ezekiel, Chris is missing part of his hair on one side of his head.
    • As Ezekiel falls towards the contestants, the drawstrings on his hoodie are missing.
    • When Chris tells Ezekiel that he is never returning to the competition, the upper part of the Drama Machine's arm is not fully connected to its body.
    • As Ezekiel falls towards the contestants, he only has a few strands of hair, but when the robot brings him before Chris and shoots him away from the island, he has significantly more hair.
      • Also, in relation to Ezekiel, the iTunes Store description of the episode states that Ezekiel is placed on the Villainous Vultures, and does not mention Alejandro joining. This may have been done to not spoil Alejandro's return.
  • When Sierra jumps out of the plane, her left arm is much thinner than the right.
  • When Chris is seen hosting his imaginary season from his cell, he has his necklace on but when he starts talking to Chef, it disappears.
  • When Courtney falls out of her team's carriage, she ends up underneath with the carriage on top of her.
  • When Duncan tries to kiss Gwen before diving, his facial hair disappears.
  • Courtney jumps off the cliff without trouble in this episode, but she previously refused to do so in "Not So Happy Campers—Part 2" due to a medical condition she had.
  • In the exclusive clip, Lindsay does not have the red X on her face, however, it is possible that it was washed off in the Flush of Shame.
  • When Chris announces that the award is a dinner at the spa hotel, Duncan's right earring briefly turns green for a split second.
  • When Alejandro unlocks the hotel, his left bracelet is on his right wrist.
