Total Drama: Revenge of the Island (formerly titled Total Drama Comedy and later Total Drama Reloaded) is the fourth season of Total Drama.
Overview
Total Drama: Revenge of the Island introduces thirteen new players to Camp Wawanakwa, which was being rented to a biohazardous waste disposal company since the end of Total Drama Island. With mutated creatures roaming free and an invincibility statue in play, the two teams must take the Hurl of Shame until someone wins $1,000,000.
Format
- All-New, Smaller Cast: This season features 13 new contestants.
- Previous Contestants' Cameos: Even after the events of the finale of the last season, the first cast was shown in a boat making their way back to compete; however, they were sent away, as they were not meant to compete. Nonetheless, some of the original cast members appear in almost every episode as a part of the challenge.
- Back to the Island: The competition once again takes place in Camp Wawanakwa.
- Radioactive Environment: Camp Wawanakwa is filled with hazardous, radioactive flora and fauna.
- Teams Determined by Challenge: During episode 1, the 13 contestants were alternated into 2 groups of 7 and 6 after a race, due to the total number of contestants being uneven.
- Replacement: Due to one contestant quitting, the host issued an eliminated contestant — that became an intern — to return in their place.
- Team Switch: During a non-elimination episode, a volunteer from the losing team was asked to switch to the opposite team. During another occassion, after an elimination ceremony, two volunteers from each team were also asked to switch.
- Merge Composition: A smaller merge consisted of 6 members.
- Sole Vote: During the final six and the final three, the winner of the invincibility challenge obtained the power to vote out another contestant with their sole vote.
- Final Challenge: A Final Challenge took place with the final two contestants, in which the contestant to pin down their opponent for 3 seconds wins the prize.

Trivia
- This is the first (/only) Total Drama season to:
- Not feature any of the original twenty-two contestants competing.
- Feature an episode count of thirteen, thus making it the only season to have the same amount of episodes and cast members.
- Include an immunity idol, which is similar to the immunity idols featured in Survivor.
- Feature a final two of the same gender, as both are males.
- Have no two contestants with the same voice actor (although one contestant shares his voice actor with a contestant from the first generation).
- Feature audition tapes for the entire cast.
- Not have any reward challenges (Excluding the non-elimination episode).
- Have a male contestant be the first to use the confessional.
- Have both teams' lowest-ranking members be females.
- Have one of the rewards for winning a challenge be the power to choose who is eliminated next, as Scott won this in Grand Chef Auto and Lightning won this in "The Enchanted Franken-Forest."
- Have the final four consist of three finalists who are of one gender, and one finalist of the other gender. In this case, three males and one female.
- The others are Total Drama: Pahkitew Island and Total Drama Island (2023), which featured the reverse situation from this season, which is three females and one male.
- Air in the United States at 16:9 widescreen aspect ratio instead of 4:3 aspect ratio, like the three previous seasons.
- Only have 13 episodes that feature the original Opening Sequence, with all subsequent seasons shortening the theme song under the broadcaster's directions.
- Have the superior team be the red team, unlike Total Drama Island with the Screaming Gophers and Total Drama Action with the Screaming Gaffers.
- Not dedicate at least one episode to eliminated contestants, such as "Haute Camp-ture" did in Total Drama Island and the Aftermath show did the previous two seasons. As a result, this is also the first season where the eliminated contestants are not gathered in one place prior to the finale.
- Not have its world premiere in North America, as the French TV channel Télétoon+ (no relation to the Canadian channel) aired the season beginning in December 2011.
- This season features the smallest cast of any season to date, with only thirteen contestants.
- This season features another contestant who returns from being previously eliminated, being Dakota in "Ice Ice Baby," and once again in "The Treasure Island of Dr. McLean."
- This is currently the last season to play the full theme song for the opening sequence.
- This season shares many notable similarities with Total Drama Island:
- Both take place entirely at Camp Wawanakwa.
- Both feature the elimination area happening at the Bonfire pit, with marshmallows being the symbols of safety.
- Both feature similar opening sequences.
- Both feature a red team and a green team that are named after animals. The only difference is the first season's animals were normal, but season four's animals were mutated.
- Both feature the exact same confessional.
- Counting Owen's ending of "The Very Last Episode, Really!" both seasons are the only two in which the finalists of both teams were males.
- This is the second consecutive season where the number of days is not confirmed.
- This is the second consecutive season in which the winner in the United States is not the same as in Canada.
- This is the second season in which the winner manages to keep their money, the first being Total Drama Action.
- This is the second season not to contain any two-part episodes, the first being Total Drama Action.
- However, if one were to consider Mutiny on the Soundstage and The Aftermath: IV to be a two-part episode, then this would be the first season without any two-part episodes.
- "Truth or Laser Shark" and "Ice Ice Baby" are the only episodes in which none of the original contestants made a cameo appearance.
- This season features more team swaps than any other season in the series, as shown below:
- Brick first switched from the Mutant Maggots to the Toxic Rats after volunteering for elimination in "Finders Creepers."
- Scott and Jo switched teams after Sam's elimination in "Runaway Model."
- Dakota was brought back and put on the Mutant Maggots in "A Mine Is a Terrible Thing to Waste," while she was originally on the Toxic Rats before.
- This is the second consecutive season without a special.
- However, Cartoon Network advertised and aired "The Enchanted Franken-Forest" and "Brain vs. Brawn: The Ultimate Showdown" as a one-hour finale special, even though they are just two separate episodes.
- Chris' statement of renting the island to a toxic company is inconsistent with the events of Total Drama Action as the island is inconsistently revisited, but there is no sign of any pollution.
- It can be said, however, that the island had yet to be that polluted when Chris brought the Screaming Gaffers and the Killer Grips and when he and Chef Hatchet ended up there because of misdirections or that the parts of the island they visited in those two episodes were the ones without any radioactive material.
- Alternatively, this idea of the show returning to Camp Wawanakwa in later seasons was never thought of in earlier seasons, causing a retcon to the events of Total Drama Action.
- This is one of two seasons where Chris doesn't use the confessional, with the other being Total Drama Island (2023).
- According to Julie Giles, a disabled competitor was considered in the form of a wheelchair-bound contestant, but the idea was dropped out of concerns that subjecting said contestant to the physical and emotional abusive routine the casts are often subjected to would have felt too cruel.
