The Flush of Shame is the elimination exit in Total Drama All-Stars. Every time a team loses a challenge, they must vote one member of their team off. That eliminated competitor must take the Flush of Shame, which is an oversized toilet that sits at the end of the dock. It has a tendency to have a large splash of water erupt from it when it is flushed, and while Chris always has an umbrella in order to avoid it, it sometimes lands on the contestants watching.
