Template:FixBunching Total Drama Island is a Canadian animated television series which lampoons the conventions commonly found in reality shows. It premiered on the Canadian cable television specialty channel Teletoon on July 8, 2007. The show was created by the creators of 6teen, another Teletoon program. It was the third Cartoon Network show outside of Adult Swim and Toonami to have the U.S. rating of "TV-PG (D)", and a parental-guidance warning after every commercial break and at the beginning of the show (the first two being Sunday Pants and IGPX; its rating in Canada for most episodes is "G", or else "PG"). On the Cartoon Network airing in the United States, some content has been removed from the episodes by censors in order to keep the rating open to a younger audience; for example, putting in words instead of long bleeps, for the episodes "That's Off the Chain" and "Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon". On the original trailer for the show from Cartoon Network, the original rating was TV-PG-DLS, but when edited, the highest rating an episode received was TV-PG-D.
Plot
The series is a reality show where twenty-two teens settle at Camp Wawanakwa—an island located in an unspecified area in Muskoka, Ontario. The plot is somewhat like Survivor and Endurance, with social and living environments similar to The Real World. At times, the show also spoofs elements of Fear Factor and Iron Chef. The producers of the reality show plan various challenges the campers must participate in, usually involving extreme stunts. Every three days, the losing team (up until the point where the teams are disbanded) is called to the campfire at night, where Chris (the host) passes out marshmallows. Those who receive a marshmallow get to stay, while the one who does not get a marshmallow has been voted off the island, and must walk down the Dock of Shame to the Boat of Losers, which will take them away and they will never, never, never, ever, ever, ever, come back, EVER. This process continues on until one player remains on the island. There are many similarities in each of the elimination rounds, but also many unique variations. At the end of the series, the last contestant will win a $100,000 prize (which the host is certain the contestant will "blow in a week").
Characters
The Total Drama Island cast consists of the host Chris Maclean, the chef, Chef Hatchet, and the twenty-two teens that make up the contestants. The contestants are split into two groups of eleven: the "Screaming Gophers" and the "Killer Bass". The contestants personify various teenage and reality show stereotypes, such as "the delinquent" (Duncan), "goody-two shoes" (Courtney), "the cool guy" (Trent), "the gothic girl" (Gwen), and "the fat boy" (Owen).

Production
Total Drama Island was developed, financed and produced by Fresh TV. The series was animated at Elliott Animation. The series was directed by Todd Kaufman and Mark Thornton. It is primarily targeted at eight- to thirteen-year-olds, and the creators, Tom McGillis and Jennifer Pertsch, studied what pre-teens liked and disliked about reality television shows in the writing process.[4] Fresh TV Inc. partners McGillis, Pertsch, Elliott and Irving produced the series.[5] The budget for the series was $8 million.[6] It was animated in Flash,[7] at Elliott Animation's studio in Toronto.[5] As with many other Teletoon series, Total Drama Island has also been dubbed into Quebec French prior to its release. Every cast and crew member on Total Drama Island had to sign a confidentiality agreement not to tell who the winner was.[8] All the characters were designed by Kauffman.[9] An early name for the series was Camp TV.[10]
Various voice actors on 6teen have also lent their voice for Total Drama Island: Christian Potenza as Chris Maclean, Julia Chantrey as Eva; Drew Nelson as Duncan; Megan Fahlenbock as Gwen; Adam Reid as Justin; Stephanie Anne Mills as Lindsay and Katie; and Rachel Wilson as Heather. The aforementioned voice actors (Christian Potenza, Megan Fahlenbock, Adam Reid, Stephanie Anne Mills and Rachel Wilson) play the roles of Jude, Jen, Wayne, Kirsten, and a recent crush of Jude's named Melinda Wilson on 6teen. Emilie-Claire Barlow plays a recurring role as Chrissy on 6teen and plays Courtney on Total Drama Island.[11]
Total Drama Island Interactive
Total Drama Island Interactive was an online game marketed in conjunction with the television series. It is produced by Xenophile Media. Development of the site was done largely by Toronto based Jam3media. By registering a free account, the player could play games to earn points for marshmallows. Marshmallows are used as money in the game so the player can buy various items. The top 22 players at the end of the season were entered into a draw, where one of the players had their character in the game make a cameo appearance in the finale [as an intern] (ultimately testing out a part of the ending obstacle course, and falling into a river)[12] The games were based on the challenges in the show, and were updated weekly as new episodes aired.[12]
Total Drama Action
Total Drama Action is the second season of Total Drama Island. Chris Maclean returns as the host, and Chef Hatchet returns as the chef. The show takes place on an abandoned film studio back lot, where the contestants will stay for six weeks, competing in various movie genre-themed challenges for one million dollars. The losers take the Red Carpet Walk of Shame to the Lame-o-sine and leave Total Drama Action forever. There are fourteen returning contestants from the first season: Beth, Bridgette, DJ, Duncan, Geoff, Gwen, Harold, Heather, Izzy (E-Scope/Explosivo/Esquire), LeShawna, Lindsay, Owen, and Trent. Cody, Eva, Ezekiel, Katie, Noah, Sadie and Tyler do not return to compete, but they appear in a talk-show segment, TDA Aftermath. Courtney, who was initially not slated to compete on the show either, eventually makes her return as a contestant as of the episode "Ocean's Eight - or Nine" following a successful lawsuit against TDI's producers, stemming from the circumstances of her elimination in the first season. The show premiered in Canada on January 11, 2009 and on June 11, 2009 in the United States.
