Elimination

The process of elimination in this season is similar to the ones in Total Drama Island, Action, and World Tour. The elimination still takes place around the Campfire, like in season one and four, and the symbols of safety are still marshmallows. After an all-star receives the last marshmallow, the eliminated contestant has to take the Flush of Shame, representing their elimination from the competition.

• Many of the challenges this season contains elements from challenges from previous seasons.
• Thus far, only Ezekiel and Izzy have made cameos this season.
• This season bears similarities with two seasons of Survivor.
  • Survivor: All-Stars: Both seasons share the same name and consists of contestants from different generations.
  • Survivor: Heroes vs. Villains: Both seasons have the same name for both teams, and the first episode shares the exact same title.
  • This season also introduces a reward of one member of the winning team volunteering for exile on Boney Island, which is similar to Survivor-based concepts such as Exile Island.
  • This season also introduces the new feature of the peanut gallery, where the winning team gets to silently watch the losing team's elimination ceremony. This is similar to the gradually-increasing jury always being allowed to silently watch the post-merge Tribal Councils in every season of Survivor.
