TDA Aftermath

Template:FixBunching Template:FixBunching Total Drama Action is the second season of the Canadian animated television series Total Drama Island. The show premiered in Teletoon Canada 6:30 et/pt[2] on January 11, 2009. This series was also created by the makers of 6Teen, another Teletoon program.

Plot

Main article: List of Total Drama Island episodes

Like its predecessor, Total Drama Island, this season's series is an "animated reality show" starring fifteen teenagers. This series still portrays likeliness towards other physical and social shows, like Fear Factor and The Real World. The original twenty-two "campers" were cut down to fifteen "cast-mates" after the reunion special's dramatic ending between these seasons. Both host and assistant Chris McClean and Chef Hatchet will return as the cast-mates' supervisors and challenge distributors. The theme of this series is "Cinematography". These fifteen cast-mates have found out that they will be staying in an abandoned movie studio lot in Toronto, Ontario. Since the theme is all about movies, the competitors are treated as real actors. They stay in small, unaccomodating actors' trailers competing against each other and themselves. Challenges come back for this season, as well. Unlike the random TDI challenges, TDA challenges will be based upon which movie genre the cast-mates will portray. The "mess hall" of TDI will also be replaced this season with The Craft Services Tent, which will also be catered by Chef Hatchet, once more. The "outhouse/confession can" of TDI was used to let the audience at home know what the campers were really thinking about. In TDA, this was replaced with the "Make-Up Confessional", a room full of make-up and body enhancements. If the cast-mates were able to make it past Chris, the daily challenge(s), and themselves, their fate would, then, have to be decided. TDI also used the outhouse/confession can to cast votes as to who they would like voted off. Cast-mates of TDA now used "voting devices" placed under their seats to vote someone off. The elimination bonfire ceremony was replaced with an "awards ceremony", where all but one person would receive a Gilded Chris Statuette (which took the place of the marshmallows). The losers of Total Drama Island had to walk down the Dock of Shame, board the Boat of Losers, and leave the campsite (to go to La Playa De Losers); however, the Total Drama Action losers must walk down the Red Carpet Walk of Shame, get into the Lame-O-Sine, and leave the film lot for good (it is unknown to the viewing world where the losers go). This process is supposed to continue until one cast-mate is left on the film lot. That one cast-mate will, then, take home the $1,000,000 cash prize.

Characters

Main article: List of characters from Total Drama Island

The Total Drama Action cast consists of Chris McClean (the host), Chef Hatchet (the caterer and assistant), and the fourteen teens that make up the cast-mates. These cast-mates were divided into teams of six: The "Screaming Gaffers" and The "Killer Grips". Geoff and Bridgette, two of the fourteen cast-mates were eliminated before Episode 3, "Riot On Set", when the teams were decided. Gwen and Trent won the challenge of that same episode and got the privilege of choosing the teams for the rest of the season. Courtney, a "camper" who did not qualify for Total Drama Action, has been proven to join the remaining cast-mates due to a technicality with the last season. She also been proven to which team she will be on. Below is a list of the cast-mates, the team that they are on, and their status in the competition.

  This cast-mate was "voted off" irregularity on Total Drama Action.
  This cast-mate was eliminated on Total Drama Action.

Elimination reasons

  • Geoff and Bridgette - Voted off due to everyone's annoyance of them making out too much.
  • E-Scope - Voted off due to losing the acting challenge for the Killer Grips and obsessively persuading the Killer Grips to call her "E-Scope".
  • Trent - Voted off due to Justin finding out he was throwing challenges for Gwen and the Screaming Gaffers.
  • Gwen - Voted herself off due to her owing the Killer Grips from episode 5. Gwen acted on this by sabotaging her team so she could basically get herself voted off.
  • DJ - Voted himself off due to his guilt of being in an illegal alliance with Chef Hatchet.
    • Note: DJ's team, The Screaming Gaffers, did win this challenge; however, DJ runs to the Gilded Chris Ceremony and confesses to Chris, The Killer Grips, and The Screaming Gaffers of his illegal alliance, and feels that the only way to settle his guilt and shame was to vote himself off.
  • Explosivo - Voted off because this alter-ego had cost The Killer Grips the first war challenge. Also, to save himself, Justin convinced Lindsay and Beth to vote with him for Izzy for a previous comment she said to him about how he wasn't "cute".
  • Owen - Voted off due to costing the Killer Grips the challenge win due to his hunger and mistaking his teammates (except Courtney) for food.
    • Note: All Killer Grips (excluding recent Courtney) voted for Courtney. Courtney's lawyers made the producers give her immunity from being voted out the first day she was competing. Her one vote for Owen caused his downfall.
