Total Drama World Tour (formerly titled Total Drama: The Musical) is the third season of Total Drama.

Overview

Fifteen returning cast members, plus three new contestants, compete for the chance to win $1,000,000 in challenges taking place all around the world. This season, players are divided into three teams and must live on the Total Drama Jumbo Jet. They must also perform spontaneous musical numbers every episode or risk being eliminated via the Drop of Shame. The prize money (once again $1,000,000) goes to the last-standing contestant in the season.

Format

  • Traveling: The challenges would vary from episode to episode, as the contestants are forced to fly around the world in the Total Drama Jumbo Jet.
  • Haves vs. Have Nots: The winning team of each challenge gets to fly in the first-class section, while the losing team(s) have to stay in economy class. After the merge, the individual winner of a challenge is normally allowed to invite an extra player to first class.
  • Singing: The contestants are required to sing one song per episode, including musical reprises on one occasion. Any contestant that refuses to or does not sing is automatically eliminated.
    • Despite this rule, there are several occasions where contestants don't sing but still manage to avoid elimination.
  • Replacements: Due to one contestant quitting, a contestant re-entered the game after being automatically eliminated by the host.
  • Three Teams (Determined by Challenge): The placing of the contestants in a race determined which of the three teams they would join.
  • Team Switch: During the second challenge, two contestants were able to switch teams.
  • Fake Eliminations: During various episodes, the losing team faced an elimination ceremony and voted someone out, but the host would later reveal the challenge was only for reward.
  • Returning Players: After said contestant quit for not singing, some contestants found him and captured him as a part of a challenge, placing the returnee in the losing team.
  • Merge Composition: The merge consisted of 8 contestants.
  • Second-Chance Challenge: During the aftermath, there was a challenge, which one of the co-hosts accidentally won when she rushed the show, introducing them to the game show with a shot for the $1,000,000, even though the challenge was really for the contestants. When the victor entered, they had to sing a song.
  • Semi-Final Tiebreaker: After one contestant landed in the finale location, the other two drew for 2nd. The guaranteed finalist got pelted at by golf balls inscribed with challenges until one was chosen. The loser of the tiebreaker was eliminated.
  • Final Challenge: A Final Challenge took place with the final two contestants, with two previously eliminated contestants as helpers for each, in which the first to throw a wooden dummy into the volcano won the prize money.

Episodes

Total Drama World Tour consists of twenty-six episodes. Like the previous season, there are four aftermath episodes.

Availability

Netflix

Total Drama World Tour was made available on Netflix in the United States in February 2021 in 16:9 ratio, though not in HD like other seasons. In November 2020, Netflix's global rights to the show were set to expire, resulting in it no longer being available on the platform. Netflix later confirmed that the show would be staying on for a little longer. However, in February 2021, all seasons of Total Drama were removed from Netflix in some regions, though it remained available in the United States and Canada. On February 1st, 2024 this season were removed from Netflix in the US alongside the other post-Action seasons and The Ridonculous Race.

DVD

There are no Region 1 or Region 2 DVD releases of Total Drama World Tour, but Madman Entertainment has released Total Drama World Tour in its entirety on DVD in Australia.

HappyKids

Total Drama World Tour was made available in high-definition video form on free streaming platform HappyKids in 2023.

Trivia

  • According to RE:Fresh Blog, Sierra and Alejandro were added in the cast to "mix things up". Furthermore, Alejandro and Sierra are meant to be as contrasting as possible, with Sierra being the kindhearted super fan who is socially awkward whereas Alejandro is the mysterious super villain who is socially smooth.
    • According to the same blog, when the scriptwriters were tasked to find locations for the episodes, they decided them based on places they would like to visit around the world. This applies to the cut locations that didn't make it to the final script. The challenges were also selected carefully to include elements from the culture of the country they are competing in.
    • Again according to the same blog, the original title Total Drama: The Musical was scrapped because it didn't capture the main element of the season, which would be the trips around the world. Total Drama World Tour was the most convincing title because it is literally a tour around the world, but ‘world tour’ is also a phrase you always hear in connection with musical acts when they put out a new CD and go play for audiences in stadiums all over the planet.
  • Back when the season was first announced, the cast was going to consist of 15 contestants instead of 18.
  • Eva, Katie, Sadie, Justin, Beth, Trent, and Geoff did not qualify for this season.
  • Noah, Tyler, Cody, Courtney, Ezekiel, and Heather all made it farther than they did in Total Drama Island.
  • Gwen and Heather both made it farther than they did in Total Drama Action.
  • All of the males who competed on Total Drama Island, but not Total Drama Action, were eliminated in the same order as before.
  • This is the first season in which Owen and Duncan are not the highest-ranking male contestants of the season.
    • This is also the first time neither of them made it into the final four.
  • This is the only Total Drama season to have an adult compete in the competition.
  • This is the only season to feature three teams instead of two.
  • This is the first season in the original series to not have any of the competing teams' color to be red and/or green.
    • However, later in Total Drama All-Stars, the red team is competing with another team whose color is instead yellow, making World Tour the only season so far to not have any red team.
  • This is the first season where the third place eliminated contestant is in the season finale.
  • This is the first season in which a female contestant wins in the United States.
    • This is also the first season where the winner is not the same in both Canada and the United States.
  • This is the only season to feature three confessionals. The first and more commonly-used one is in the Jet's lavatory (reminiscent of the original confessional in Total Drama Island). The second one is in the Jet's Cockpit, with Chef or Chris always in the background due to being the co-pilots. After the destruction of the plane, the remaining contestants use an outhouse confession while they are in Hawaii.
  • Chris sets a new rule of getting eliminated in this season, a first in the series; aside from being voted off, quitting, or being automatically eliminated by a challenge, any contestants who do not sing, will be eliminated.
    • However, no one is actually eliminated by this rule, and many people get away with not singing throughout the season, most notably Cody reached the final episode and rarely participates in any of the songs he appeared.
  • This is the first season in which Duncan does not appear in every episode.
  • This is the only season where none of the contestants are shown in their pajamas.
  • This is the first season not to include any female nudity.
  • This is the first season to take place outside of Canada, although they have returned to Canada four times in "Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better," "Newf Kids on the Rock," "Niagara Brawls," and "Awwwwww, Drumheller."
    • This makes Canada the most-visited country throughout the season, tying with the United States.
  • This is the first season in which only one contestant returns after being previously eliminated.
  • This is the first season to have tied votes at an elimination ceremony, in both "Picnic at Hanging Dork" and "Chinese Fake-Out."
  • This is the first season to feature "fake eliminations," in which Chris has all members of the losing team vote like they regularly would, then reveal the result, but not actually count that person as eliminated.
  • This is the first season to feature an odd amount of contestants competing from the start, as Total Drama Island had twenty-two contestants, and Total Drama Action started with fourteen contestants.
  • This is the first season in which someone had to leave because of medical problems.
  • Every character voiced by Peter Oldring was on one of each team this season.
  • This is the first season in which a previously eliminated contestant is brought back into the game without being an actual contestant. In this case, Ezekiel was brought back to aid in challenges in "I See London..." and "African Lying Safari."
  • This is the first season where Duncan isn't the highest-ranking member on his team.
    • However, he is the highest-ranking former Killer Bass for the third consecutive time.
  • This season features the latest merge of a season, with the merge happening in the nineteenth episode.
  • This is one of only two seasons to have its main promotional image be a moment from an actual episode, the other being Total Drama Island.
  • This is the only season directed by Jennifer Pertsch and Tom McGillis.
  • This is the only season where Izzy competes and does not rejoin the game after being eliminated.
  • This is the last season to air in the United States at a 4:3 fullscreen aspect ratio. Starting with the fourth season, the show now uses a 16:9 high-definition aspect ratio (since digital television was finally established around late 2011).
  • This is also the last season to have twenty-six episodes. Starting from the fourth season, the amount was cut in half to thirteen. In the overall franchise, it would not be until The Ridonculous Race where the episode count would be back to 26.
  • This is the first season where an antagonist reaches the final two.
