!!Total Drama All-Stars & Pahkitew Island
* At the end of ''All-Stars'', Camp Wawanakwa is destroyed. The next season takes place on Pahkitew Island, which is an island without any facilities (except the outhouse) and an underground secret that makes it distinct from Wawanakwa. Both seasons also don't have anyone return to the competition after their elimination, don't have all of the eliminated contestants BackForTheFinale, and start the trend of newer seasons having shorter opening themes.
** ''All-Stars'' is also the first time when one team doesn't win first two challenges, only winning the very first one before the pattern is broken.
** ''Pahkitew Island'' is also the first time where the team which won the first two challenges ends up being the inferior one as well as the first time when the highest-ranking member of one team is someone who switched teams.
