Since Chris took the show worldwide, Camp Wawanakwa has been abandoned and turned into a toxic waste dump – the perfect place for a new season of painful, cringe-inducing challenges.
We're going back to the island where Total Drama began, for an all-new season with an all-new cast! Since Chris took the show worldwide, Camp Wawanakwa has been abandoned and turned into a toxic nuclear waste dump - the perfect place for a new season of painful, cringe-inducing challenges! On the first challenge of the new season: cut down giant team totems suspended over the forest and race them downriver to camp. First team gets pick of the cabins. Last team goes to the elimination ceremony, where they'll vote for a team member to get flung off the island by catapult on The Hurl of Shame.
Challenge time! First up is the "Getting To Know You Trivia Quiz" where Chris forces the players to own up to their humiliations or risk dunking their team in the water, where a hungry four-legged shark lays in wait.
Challenge Time! First, teams have to climb up a sheer cliff wall twenty stories high, using whatever they find in a junk pile guarded by a giant mutant fire-breathing beetle.
It's a midnight scavenger hunt. Teams have to find hidden objects in a haunted forest, a creepy pet cemetery, and a spook-tacular cave. Chris warns them to stick together.
It's a waterski race among water mines and deadly mutant sharks! Each team must pick three skiers to ride in formation and ring three bells on various buoys, while two team members pilot the team's boat.
Chris announces that for the fashion show challenge, teams must hunt down and dress up one of the island's ferocious mutant creatures!
Teams must head into the old mine where Chris stowed all the radioactive waste, find a Golden Chris in their team colour, and bring it back to Chris, all while shouldering fifty pound backpacks.
The campers wake up far from shore, floating on rafts. And new Maggot team member Dakota is starting to mutate. Teams must get to shore by any means possible, avoiding the giant mutant squid if they can.
It's merge day! The competitors must ransack Chef's kitchen for keys, then use the keys to steal Chef's collection of go-karts. Then, it's a race around the island to graffiti-tag various locations.
It's down to the final five. With the strongest players now the most likely to get voted off. Chris arrives in the Total Drama zeppelin to unveil the newest challenge: an aerial obstacle course.
Chris plans to go easy on the players until he steps into one of Scott's snares and gets flung into the outhouse pit. Chris tells Chef to take over and to make it the most brutally insane contest yet.
Chris takes the competitors to the deadly Mutant Forest of Terror, where their challenge is a search for the rare Chrisinus flower. The first to pick the flower and bring it to Chris goes to the finals.
It's the big finale, for all the cash! Two competitors will enter the Chrisiseum but only one will come out! Who will be going home a millionaire? And who will be going home in a pine box?
