Courtney feels that Duncan is a nice guy for giving DJ a new bunny, but he denies it. Sadie is voted off because she knocked Courtney unconscious during the William Tell shoot off, even though Leshawna, and Owen won that challenge for the Gophers already..

Leshawna and Eva are the last ones, and Leshawna wins in a log rolling contest against a bear. Eva is voted off again because she scared everyone on the island, causing everyone to vote against her except herself (who voted against Heather) and Duncan (who also voted off Heather because he thinks Heather had something to do with Courtney's elimination). | ||||

The campers set out on a scavenger hunt for keys to treasure chests, placed in ridiculously dangerous or disgusting places.

In order to break them up, she tricks both Trent and Gwen by telling Trent that Gwen actually thinks his music is terrible and kissing Trent on the Dock of Shame. Gwen tells Leshawna, who in turn tells everyone on the island to vote off Heather. However, Heather finds invincibility in her treasure chest, causing everyone to vote off Trent.

A torrential rainstorm washes away the cabins and the remaining campers wake up in the middle of Lake Leech with no idea where they are. They paddle the remains of their cabin to a nearby beach, but are unnerved by the spooky surroundings.

Dares include licking Owen's armpit, wrestling an alligator, and giving a "purple nurple" to a grizzly bear. Gwen and Owen team up (Owen giving Gwen 10 of his 20 freebies in exchange for Gwen promising to split her winnings or buy him a box of doughnuts depending on who wins), and force all of the grossest dares on Heather.

28 | "Total Drama Drama Drama Drama Island" | November 29, 2008 | December 18, 2008 | |
The 22 campers are resting at Playa De Losers when Chris and Chef arrive to give Owen the choice of either keeping his one hundred thousand dollar check, or compete for a suitcase of a million dollars. Owen chooses to compete for the million, and all the campers are given the chance to win the money. The objective is to find the suitcase somewhere on the island. Everyone makes alliances to split the money and the suitcase travels from group to group. After the case has been held and stumbled upon by every group, Courtney stumbles onto a strange painted forest background and discovers TDI has been held close to civilization the whole time. By this time she becomes upset and finds an intern that has a hot air balloon and steals it to get to the campgrounds to try and "get Chris" because of what she just discovered. With this stolen hot air balloon, Courtney, along with Owen, Cody, DJ, Tyler, a grizzly bear, and the million dollar case drift to camp. LeShawna had also stolen a tractor and drives after Heather and Harold. This causes Heather, Harold, and LeShawna to crash into the water. Back at the parachute, the boys' alliance had the million dollar case, but Courtney believed she deserved it for getting everyone into the camp. As these five were arguing over who gets the money, the balloon was drifting close to a platform where Katie, Sadie, Geoff, and Bridgette are standing. These four ended up on this suspended platform because of a moose chasing after them, and eventually starts to chase after Duncan, who fools it. While the hot air balloon almost hits the platform, Cody tells the boys, who have the case, that they need to jump to survive. Landing on the platform, the boys notice that Courtney took the case while they were jumping. Unfortunately, the bear was still in the hot air balloon causing Courtney to jump off onto the platform where Courtney, Cody, DJ, Owen, Tyler, Katie, Sadie, Geoff and Bridgette were fighting over the case. From Gwen and Trent's alliance, and out of nowhere, LeShawna came up to the platform to get the case from Courtney and the others. Since the case slipped from Courtney's hands, it landed in the area where Lindsay's team of Ezekiel, Beth, and herself, were walking to. As Lindsay almost doesn't even notice, she picks it up, but DOES notice from out of nowhere Justin got the keys to a plane (by using his hotness to woo Chef over) and skydives to Lindsay. Ezekiel and Beth get covered by his parachute, so they couldn't protect Lindsay from GIVING the case to Justin. As Lindsay gives the case away, due to her dim-wittiness, Justin's plane becomes free to move anywhere since he isn't piloting it. The plane crashes into the suspended platform where Courtney, LeShawna, Katie, Sadie, Geoff, Bridgette, Cody, Owen, DJ, and Tyler are standing. Justin, then, tries to walk back to the campgrounds to declare victory. Due to a previous attack of beauty that Justin did on Izzy's alliance (Izzy, Noah, and Eva), she has held a grudge and promised to herself that she will the case away from Justin. Izzy saw Justin in her sights and told Noah and Eva to dump buckets of fish-water whenever they see him in their sights. Being successful in this, Izzy dumps a third bucket on him and sticks it on his head and steals the case back. While Izzy was running to campgrounds to declare victory, she trips and the case falls out of her hands. At this time, the suspended platform has broken in half making Katie, Sadie, Cody, Tyler, and Courtney fall in a pool below. Though DJ, LeShawna, Owen, DJ, Geoff, and Bridgette remain on the platform and slides down at superspeed actually headed for the case that Izzy dropped. While those six were sliding towards the case, Gwen and Trent sees the case tumble right past them and runs towards it. Then Lindsay and Beth tries to run after Gwen and Trent, who are running after the case. Duncan, who is also after the case, and who has upsetted a moose has been thrown into the lake. The platform is still going superspeed towards the case and it catches hold of Justin's parachute causing him to go superspeed with the platform. As Izzy gets up and tries to get the case, she storms ahead of Justin and the platform of campers and she, along with Gwen, Trent, Lindsay, and Beth get caught on the platform with LeShawna and the others, and collides into the water with Heather and Harold, who were trying to get out of the water from a previous attack by LeShawna. So because of the platform holding LeShawna, Owen, DJ, Geoff, and Bridgette; Izzy, Justin, Lindsay, Beth, Gwen, Trent, Heather, and Harold collided into the platform, making them all crash into the water. Next, the unthinkable happens. After all the work from trying to get the case, the case was eaten by a shark. Then, an upset Chris comes out to say that since they all couldn't win, they all officially tied, and that they will have an equal opprotunity to win another million dollars in Season 2 of Total Drama Island, which is entitled Total Drama Action. As for the remaining eight campers, Chris told them that their challenges end there, and will watch all of TDA from the sidelines.

Season 2 (Total Drama Action)
Number | Title | Original Airdate | US Airdate | |
---|---|---|---|---|
1 | "Monster Cash" | January 11, 2009 | June 4, 2009 | |
The 14 cast mates arrive, to a rough stat, at the film studio back lot to meet Chris McClean, where he tells them about the modificatins and changes from Total Drama Island to Total Drama Action. He then tells them of their first challenge: To get to the actor's trailers without being attacked by the animatronic monster being controlled by Chef Hatchet. Izzy (E-Scope) was the first to get captured because of her not paying attention to Owen's warnings about the monster being right behind her. It was revealed, then, that the losers of this challenge were to be dumped in a blow-up bouncy house. After Izzy (E-Scope)'s elimination, the remaining cast-mates began to drift from each other. Owen, who took almost 11 hours to get to the actor's trailers, wins the first challenge. Chris then tells the group to go to the craft services tent (mess hall) for the second challenge. Having now split into guys vs. girls, the next part of the challenge was supposed to be a hunt to find a key hidden in a fake food props buffet, where the winner would first pick of the actor trailers, though Owen mistakes it for a speed-eating contest. He goes and eats almost everything on the buffet and burps up the hidden key, giving the guys the challenge win, also giving Owen the opportunity to choose the cast trailer for the boys. Due to a misconception, the monster, controlled by Chef Hatchet, squishes one of the two trailers. This trailer also happens to be the trailer that Owen picks to stay in (though the remaining trailer that the girls have to sleep in also gets squished by accident). After both trailers have been repaired, the guys and girls work on their arrangements of who sleeps where (in the guys case) and who sleeps with or next to Heather (in the girls case). Though, due to an "alleged" miscalculation, Heather ends up getting two beds to herself, making it so no one would have to sleep near her. *Note: This is a non-elimination episode, meaning no one was eliminated or voted off. | ||||
2 | "Alien Resurr-eggtion" | January 18, 2009 | June 11, 2009 | |
This episode basically picks up the exact next day from episode 1, as Owen still has some "internal bodily" problems after eating fake food props from the last challenge. This episode also triggers and sparks the soon conflict between bad boy Duncan and mysterious Trent; as Duncan begins to talk and flirt with Gwen more and more, leaving Trent feeling a little bitter. The 14 cast-mates eat as Chris tells them of their next genre and challenge: finding and bringing alien eggs back to home base (the film lot), without getting hit by the "mother alien"'s (Chef Hatchet in disguise) paint balls. The teens were then sent to an even more abandoned part of the film lot to find these alien eggs. The cast tried to use their GPS units to locate the eggs when they were stumped by some weird sucking noise. While some thought it was Chris, others thought it was Chef Hatchet. Either way, everyone was scared stiff until Beth, the brave heroine in disguise, marches towards the sucking noise, and looked to see it was Bridgette and Geoff making out even more than usual. After everyone gets rounded up together, they get stumped again about which way to go when an echoing "DANGER" warning is heard throughout the film lot. Everyone had their own way of interpreting which way to go, so temporary teams are made during this challenge:
In Izzy (E-Scope)'s group, Harold was first to go when he was surprised by Chef Hatchet from behind, and was hit immediately. Owen believed it was finally time to "do his business", and actually pleaded Chef to shoot a paintball at him, so he could go to the bathroom. With only Izzy (E-Scope) and Heather left, E-Scope surprises both Chef and Heather by pulling out her very own paintball gun, declaring war on Chef. As Chef and Izzy (E-Scope) have their paintball fight, Heather manages to get away, and Izzy somehow loses by not having her guard up when dodging earlier paintballs. Later, Geoff & Bridgette were shot when not looking, but instead, making out. Even though Heather did get away, Chef Hatchet caught up to her, and got revenge on her for last season when she put laxatives in his lunch. When Chef shot the defenseless girl, her wig went flying and landed on a holed floor, where it slid down into one of the holes and was lost forever. Lindsay's entire team was doused with paint-ball concentrate from above (not necessarily by Chef's paintball gun), eliminating them. Later, Gwen's team completed the first part of the challenge by finding alien eggs, though still having to get to home base, DJ and Duncan were shot from behind, leaving Gwen and Trent to be the only ones who finish. This gave them the power to decide the teams. However, this also meant they would be competing against each other on the two teams. Chris then reveals that two people will be eliminated that night. At the Gilded Chris Ceremony, Geoff and Bridgette are voted off (with the new voting devices), due to their excessive amount of time spent making out and not paying attention to anything but each other. | ||||
3 | "Riot On Set" | January 25, 2009 | June 18, 2009 | |
The cast is faced with their next challenge: building a set and dressing up as fictional characters to star in their own man-made movie. The catch to doing this is what the cast mates have to do to win: it is announced that the movie they make has to make Chef Hatchet cry when watching the movie. By this time, the teams have been made and chosen. Harold, Heather, DJ, LeShawna, Duncan, and leader Gwen were now called the Screaming Gaffers. While Izzy, Owen, Beth, Justin, Lindsay, and leader Trent, were now called the Killer Grips. While the cast-mates decide on who will play which part, Chef Hatchet grabbed DJ (claiming to say that he "sees a lot of himself in DJ"), and tried to make a non-refusing illegal alliance with him. Chef Hatchet tries to toughen DJ up in exchange for half of his winnings (if he even wins). The movies that each team made only actually turned out to be a scene of that part of the movie. For the Screaming Gaffers, Duncan was the actor; Izzy was the actress for the Killer Grips. Due to a technicality and inconvience, Izzy, who was supposed to be a grandmother, got Duncan's script, which was of a gangster, and vice-versa. Duncan, of the Screaming Gaffers, impressed everyone with his hidden acting skills of being a depressed and possibly dying grandparent. At this point, everyone, including Chef and Chris are sniffling and crying over what has happened making Duncan and the Screaming Gaffers win and receive invincibility. At the Gilded Chris Ceremony, it was Izzy who was voted off due to her losing the acting challenge so easily, her craziness, and because the other contestants became tired of her insistence on everyone calling her "E-Scope" instead of her actual name. | ||||
4 | "Beach Blanket Bogus" | February 1, 2009 | June 25, 2009 | |
The 11 castmates head off to a set of a surfing movie, and is told they will have 2 challenges: Chris has told the cast-mates that they will be going to the beach, and to bring their bathing suits. Ironically, the first challenge is to stay on a mechanical surf board inside a freezing room as long as posible. Chris, then tells them that they will eventually go to the beach. Not believing him, the cast-mates kept listening to find out that the team with the winner of the first challenge gets a 30 minute head start on the second challenge. Having a hard time to do this challenge in bathing suits and inside a freezing room, most of the cast-mates seen doing their challenge (i.e. Lindsay, Harold, Justin, LeShawna, Gwen, and Owen) were off of the surfboard in under a few minutes. Being one of the last cast-mates to get on the mechanical surfboard, Duncan, with confidence, stayed on longer than the other cast-mates. Seeing this and Duncan's over-confidence, Chris starts to throw things at Duncan, including props, tables, and even Lindsay. Being on the mechanical surfboard the longest, Duncan's team, the Screaming Gaffers, won the 30 minute head start for the second challenge: a prop sand-castle building contest. The cast then heads off to the TDI set, Camp Wawanakwa, for the challenge. Around this time, Trent, leader of the Killer Grips, began to become obsessed with Gwen, and then, the number 9. On to the second challenge, the Killer Grips had just gotten started, when on the Screaming Gaffers, thanks to Harold, their sandcaste was nearing completion. As Beth, from the Killer Grips, went on and on about her friendship bracelets, she found an actual use for them concerning the challenge. She had her entire team pitch in on making their castle, and she used her friendship bracelets as props for them. The Killer Grips did win this challenge due to Harold and the Screaming Gaffers' sandcastle tumbling down from seagulls. The challenge then went off into a tie breaker: an "anything-goes", ol' school dance contest. The teams each chose a person from their team to dance in a freestyle jam to win the challenge. The Screaming Gaffers chose lively LeShawna, and the Killer Grips chose the mysterious Trent. As Trent remembered from what Owen and Gwen told him in the past, he thought of Gwen saying how much she loves to win. While LeShawna was freestyling everywhere, Trent started to fake his part of the dance, and fall right in front of Chris and Gwen's feet. Since Trent basically threw the competition for the Killer Grips, LeShawna and her "skills" won the entire challenge for the Screaming Gaffers. *Note: This is a non-elimination episode, meaning no one was eliminated or voted off. | ||||
5 | "3:10 to Crazytown (Canada) / The Wacky Wild West (US)" | February 8, 2009 | July 2, 2009 | |
The very hot and sweaty 11 castmates head to the "wild west" for their next set of challenges. Gwen is surprised to be getting a headcold during one of the hottest days she has experienced. As Trent still has an obsession over the number nine, he tries to "woo" Gwen over by helping her through this difficulty. With guns loaded with "blanks", Chris comes to tell the campers their first challenge: "mounting their steed" (getting on their horse) by jumping off a platform, trying to land on it. The most successful campers of a team win the challenge. Exposed to the humidity, LeShawna's hair frizzes out to a perfectly puffed afro. Gwen (by sneezing off the platform), Harold (by jumping and landing in a "bad position for a male"), and Duncan (by jumping and landing on Harold) of The Screaming Gaffers; and Owen (by jumping and landing on the ground because the horse moved [but got on the horse, which caused for rules to be bent]), Lindsay, and Beth (by jumping together) of The Killer Grips all successfully jumped and landed on the horse below, which caused a 3 to 3 tie. The next challenge was supposed to be a western target practice on the cast-mates, but Owen drank the water that was going to be used as ammunition against the cast-mates. So, Chris thought quickly to make another second tie-braking challenge: an old-fashioned cow roping. The Killer Grips were to be cowboys and cowgirls, and The Screaming Gaffers were to be the cows. If the cowboys and cowgirls rope the cattle, The Killer Grips win, but if the cattle somehow rope the cowboys and cowgirls, The Screaming Gaffers win. In the end, The Screaming Gaffers find extra rope, and Gwen gets Lindsay, Duncan gets Trent, LeShawna ropes Beth, and Harold gets Justin, giving the win and invicinibility to The Screaming Gaffers. (as for Owen, he was too out-of-breath to move from previously chasing Harold). Later, Gwen notices what Trent has been trying to do to "help" her win. She tells Trent that she does not want to win by cheating, and breaks up with him. Hearing all of this about what Trent has been doing, a furious Justin confronts Gwen and orders her to tell everything to The Killer Grips that she just told their captain. The Killer Grips, then find out that their captain has been throwing challenges to help the other team win. At the Gilded Chris Ceremony, it was Trent who got voted off due to his team finding out that he had been throwing challenges to help Gwen and The Screaming Gaffers win. | ||||
6 | "TDA Aftermath #1" | February 15, 2009 | July 9, 2009 | |
The non-participating and eliminated contestants all appear on a talk show, hosted by Geoff and Bridgette. This episode is comprised of non-participating and eliminated contestants of Total Drama Action, sneak peek clips of upcoming episodes, never-before-seen clips not shown during regular showtime, fictional fan e-mails and webcasts, bloopers, games [like "Truth or Hammer" (similar to "Truth or Lie" only that the "Lie" gets changed to where if the player does lie, a hammer while swing and smash them), and "That's Gonna Leave a Mark and more. Geoff and Bridgette talk about their time on Total Drama Island and Total Drama Action. They also reminisice of Total Drama Action's non-participating contestents [inculding Cody (still trying to be "cool"), Noah (still very quiet and uncaring), Ezekiel (still picking his nose), Eva (still looking angry as ever), Katie and Sadie (still together), Courtney (still in the process of suing the Total Drama Series), and Tyler (still looking cool and needing to tell Lindsay where he is)]. The host and hostess then talk about the two cast-mates who have been kicked off Total Drama Action, Izzy and Trent. The gang then recaps on Izzy's time on Total Drama Action, and later, brings her out to talk. Izzy then comes to talk about her latest obsession with crackers, along with telling the world of her previous boyfriend, "Graham" (somewhat short for Graham Cracker). She then reveals a secret that Chef Hatchet came with his illegal alliance to help Izzy win before consulting DJ. After finishing with Izzy, the hosts move to Trent. Trent finds out, and is devestated, especially being the last one to know, that Gwen stabbed Trent in the back by telling his team to vote him off during a Gilded Chris Ceremony. Geoff and Bridgette began to argue over how and why Trent was kicked off on Total Drama Island, and Geoff ends up saying the wrong thing [i.e. Telling the world (including Bridgette) that Heather was the "hottest chick on the show"]. Geoff and Bridgette, along with the non-participating contestants talk about which side, in Gwen or Trent's defense, to take. The two end up taking opposing sides and start to argue on why the other was right about which person. Trent comes out to talk about the experience he had on Total Drama Action with Gwen, and reminisices on what he "thought" about Duncan. Courtney finds out about "Gwen and Duncan" and gets slightly angered. He also reveals a secret about his number nine obsession. He says that Duncan only assumed his logic when the real reason was that he had a toy train that he was very close to, given to from his grandfather, whom he was also close to. The train had ten wheels, and before Trent's grandfather died, a wheel fell off the train, making the train only have nine wheels. Chris McClean and Eva, then try to sabotage the show in their own special way (i.e. Chris disguised himself as Sasquatchinakwa and jealously told Geoff and Bridgette off for having their own show. Eva disguised her voice as a fan who wanted to be on "Team Eva", though it didn't last long, since the voice disguise wore off). Bloopers were later shown. Later, it was Trent's love song of what happened between him and Gwen, that brought almost everyone to tears, and Bridgette and Geoff back together. For almost the rest of the entire episode, Geoff and Bridgette spent the remaining time making out. | ||||
7 | "Adventure On The Set" | April 5, 2009 | July 16, 2009 | |
In this episode the 10 remaining campers face their next challenge, the theme of the challenge is an adventure movie. The Gaffers and Grips adventure on the set looking for a key that unlocks the treasure chest to victory. Since Trent was voted off the grips didn't have a team leader so Justin took charge. Beth, Owen, and Lindsay were fine with that because they were all star struck on Justins beauty. For the Gaffers Heather wanted to take charge because she saw the key in the showers but LeShawna, Gwen, and Duncan wouldn't let her. LeShawna was elected as head adventurer for the Gaffers, for her keen eye. Heather told LeShawna to check the showers but LeShawna thought Heather was tricking her so she told everyone to look everywhere but the showers. Heather wanted revenge so she told Justin where the key was hidden. Meanwhile Gwen was still upset of Trent getting voted off. Duncan tried to confert her but it didn't do anything to help. Harold spotted the other team with the key so he used his "skills" to try to get the key back. It ended up as Lindsay and Beth pushing him out of the way because Owen's entire mouth and jaw was hurting since he ran into a brick wall, and Justin didn't want anything to happen to his body. LeShawna finally gave up and went to the showers. She found a note that read "LeShawna, if you are reading this I have already told the other team that the key is in the bathroom garbage, so sorry but when Chris announces where it was your as good as gone." When Gwen and Duncan got back to the set they spotted Justin opening the chest of victory. Chris announced the challenge was over and the Grips won. DJ than came out of nowhere after being sick all day and not able to particapate in the challenge. Heather than asked where they key was proving to everyone she was telling the truth. In the Gilded Chris Ceremony Chris announced that the votes were tied. So Chef got to choose who left. Chef picked LeShawna to leave for two reasons. 1. She didn't listen and blew it for her team, 2. She was a BIG threat to the secret alliance. It never said who was tied with LeShawna but Heather got the final Gildid Chris. As it turns out Chris said that the Gilded Chris' were no longer made out of chocolate. The order of the Gilded Chris' given out were: DJ, Gwen, Harold, Duncan, Heather. LeShawna still didn't know why chef picked her. But before she left Harold kissed her and it shows them getting back together. | ||||
