Total Drama Island (2007)

"No Pain, No Game"

As the merged commence, the remaining campers are joined by Eva and Izzy. For their challenge, campers have to endure torturous games that are selected via the Wheel of Misfortune, with the winner receiving Invincibility and a deluxe trailer. In the end, Leshawna won the challenge. At the elimination ceremony, Eva was sent packing when her temper got in her way when she was targeting Bridgette.

"Search and Do Not Destroy"

After Leshawna found out that Heather kissed Trent, ruining his and Gwen’s relationship, Leshawna tries to tell the other teammates to eliminate Heather. But, since Heather won immunity, they had no other choice but to vote Trent off instead.

"Hide and Be Sneaky"

The final ten must hide from Chef Hatchet, who is hunting them down. The guys ended up forming an alliance, and, with the exception of Geoff, they all sent Bridgette packing when she was deemed too athletic.

"That's Off the Chain!"

The final nine build their own bicycles and must race for immunity. Since Owen and Duncan both wiped out before reaching the finish line, Lindsay was automatically eliminated after Heather double-crossed her, causing Lindsay to (rightfully) call Heather out as a backstabber.

"Hook, Line, and Screamer"

The final eight compete in a challenge which involves a killer hunting them down. Gwen won the challenge when she defeated the real escaped psycho killer, and DJ was automatically eliminated when he bolted before the killer (Chef) even got to him.

"Wawanakwa Gone Wild!"

The campers square off in a challenge where they must trap a certain animal. One person gets a delicious meal as a reward for catching their animal first. In the end, Gwen wins the challenge, and Izzy gets voted off.

"Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon"

The final six campers are split into three pairs and must compete in various team-based challenges. Some duos have trouble working together, while another become friends with each other. Once the triathlon is finished and none of the teams win, it is revealed that nobody is safe. Geoff ends up getting the boot.

"Haute Camp-ture"

Chris visits the luxurious Playa Des Losers and catches up with the previously eliminated contestants. After learning their thoughts on the final five, the host reveals a shocking twist in which the eliminated contestants will vote off the next camper. Thanks to Katie and Sadie, Leshawna is accidentally eliminated.

"Camp Castaways"

After a huge flood, the campers float away to a "deserted island" and try to fend for themselves while dealing with the dangers there, as well as enduring each other. Meanwhile, the hosts are having a day of relaxation on the same island. While the final four are separated at first, they eventually wind up back together again and, after Owen's mental breakdown, his temporary "companion", Mr. Coconut, is "eliminated" by Chris.

"Are We There Yeti?"

The campers are stuck in the middle of the woods. The challenge is to race back to camp and tag a totem pole. The boys are on one team while the girls are on the other. Since Chris isn't there, Chef takes charge instead. The girls win immunity, and Duncan is sent packing.

"I Triple Dog Dare You!"

The final three compete in the semifinals and must do dares set up by the previously eliminated contestants and earn a "Get Out of Dare" Freebie, and if any of them refuses to do a dare, he or she is automatically eliminated. When Heather accidentally got her head shaved, she didn’t intentionally accept the dare, which caused her to finally meet her downfall.

"The Very Last Episode, Really!"

The final two campers participate in one last challenge for the grand prize, with all of the previously eliminated campers returning to watch. In the end, either Owen or Gwen wins, and Duncan, Geoff, and Owen throw Chris off the Dock of Shame and into the lake.
