Line #196 EliminationHoudini/TotalDrama


1	!!''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama''
2	Thanks to Chris gleefully indulging in ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem, this is the only reality show that will openly admit to [[EliminationHoudini keeping characters]] on for drama through the most ridiculous plot conveniences and only sending characters home when Chris wants them to go. Note: The name(s) in '''bold''' represented someone who dodged elimination in that particular episode.

8	[[folder: Overall]]
9	* Izzy, who is actually brought back into the competition ''after'' being eliminated, twice in two different seasons.
10	* Owen. Very little justification is given as to how he lasts so long other than being a CreatorsPet. In ''Island'', he stayed on the show simply for not having any enemies. The most egregious examples being "If You Can't Take the Heat" where he singlehandedly costs his team the challenge, yet isn't even in the bottom two during the elimination ceremony, "Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon" where Geoff was eliminated for being 'too nice' even though he was shown to go along with some of Duncan's pranking while Owen (who was arguably the nicest contestant left by this point) is given a free pass and in "Are We There Yeti?" where he costs both him and Duncan the challenge, but Chef eliminates the latter due to his conflict towards him. [[WordOfGod Tom McGillis]] has stated the idea of Owen being a finalist to have [[{{irony}} the guy who didn't care whether or not he won, making it to the end]]. Then in ''Action'', he was eliminated halfway in only to be brought back during the last six episodes by Chris in order to be his mole and dish up some drama. Despite this plot having no actual impact on the season (outside of Harold's elimination which likely would've happened even if Owen wasn't there to do it), he manages to make it all the way to the '''final 3'''.
11	* [[Characters/TotalDramaDuncan Duncan]]. In ''Action'' he was targeted for elimination three challenges in a row, yet he managed to escape all of them because of manipulation and, in the case of the third, the sheer luck of Lindsay accidentally voting for herself. It's also worth noting that the third (and most infamous) of these elimination ceremonies was the first time [[OhCrap Duncan ever looked nervous during it, as if he knew that he couldn't keep this streak up for this long]]. Also in the ''World Tour'' episode "Greece's Pieces", when he got the most votes against him, Chris "eliminates" an intern instead of him, outright stating that he was keeping him on for drama.
12	* [[Characters/TotalDramaCourtney Courtney]]. In ''Action'' she pulled this trope off more than anyone else, where she would have been immediately voted out if she wasn't using her lawyers to cheat the show and getting to win every challenge. And in ''World Tour'' she manages to dodge being eliminated ''two episodes in a row''! The former in "Picnic at Hanging Dork" being a result of arguably the show's most poorly written contrivance up to that point[[note]]She would have been voted off had Cody not been unconscious during the voting process, ultimately throwing the result to a tie-breaker between her and Gwen, with the latter losing due to her [[PlotAllergy allergy to eucalyptus]] that was [[AssPull never given any previous foreshadowing, not even in the very episode where it came into play]][[/note]], and the latter in "Sweden Sour" being a result of the same thing Chris did to Duncan in "Greece's Pieces" by just [[AssPull randomly vetoing all of the votes against her thus sparing her once again]]. Ironically, her first elimination in ''Island'' was one of the most unfair in the entire series, and thus an ''inversion'' of this trope, although the first elimination ceremony is an example because Ezekiel saved her at the last minute.
13	* [[Characters/TotalDramaAlejandro Alejandro]] escapes a definite elimination in the Final 4 in ''World Tour'', due to [[spoiler: Sierra blowing up Chris's plane.]] He evades elimination again in ''All-Stars'' due to a slip-up by Heather, allowing him to acquire the immunity idol, and ultimately ranking [[spoiler:6th]] despite being mostly superfluous after the aforementioned's elimination.
14	* Scott. In ''Revenge of the Island'', despite [[TeamKiller deliberately sabotaging his own team]], he manages to outwit and outplay everyone [[spoiler:up until the final four]]. While he developed into a much more sympathetic character in ''All-Stars'', he rarely did anything useful or strategic and was ultimately completely irrelevant to the season, yet somehow ended up [[spoiler: in the final ''three'']].

16
17	[[folder: Total Drama Island (2007)]]
18	[[AC:General]]
19	* [[Characters/TotalDramaHeather Heather]], often avoiding elimination by either winning invincibility or somehow manipulating someone else into being sent home. In fact, there are a few situations where Heather is perfectly vulnerable to get eliminated, but another camper is sent home because of unrelated reasons.
20
21	[[AC:Not So Happy Campers - Part 2]]
22	* After annoying her teammates with her bossy personality and constant reminding of being a CIT, coupled with the fact that she didn't complete the first challenge, '''Courtney''' manages to escape elimination thanks to Ezekiel saying an offensive remark at the last minute.
23
24	[[AC:Not Quite Famous]]
25	* The entire Killer Bass, likely with '''Bridgette''' in particular, can be counted as such, considering the Gophers actually scored one more point than the Bass. This is fixed in the Netflix airing by reducing the points earned by Trent.
26	* '''Heather''' was spared from at least a tie-breaker, considering she gathered the votes against Justin from only half of her team. However, it can be assumed that either Cody or Justin or both voted for Trent instead, allowing the 5 votes for Justin to become majority.
27	[[AC:Phobia Factor]]
28	* Once again, '''Courtney'''. Being given a chance to triple her team's points, she was the direct cause of their loss. However, likely as a result of the friendships between her, Bridgette, DJ, Duncan, and Geoff, and perhaps because of Tyler's clumsiness, Tyler was voted out instead.
29	[[AC:Paintball Deer Hunter]]
30	* Cody's DeusExMachina injury as a result of being mauled by a bear causes most of the Gophers to vote for him instead of '''Heather'''.
31	[[AC:If You Can't Take The Heat...]]
32	* On a similar note, the Gophers finding out about Beth's cursed Tiki Idol from Boney Island is what makes them vote for Beth instead of '''Heather'''. However, since it received more build-up over the past few episodes, this example feels less like a DeusExMachina when compared to the previous episode.
33	* '''Owen''' ruins the Gophers' chances to win the challenge by eating almost entirety of their ribs, yet he's not even in the bottom two. On a similar note, no one thinks of blaming '''Leshawna''' for putting Owen in charge of looking after their food.
34	[[AC:Who Can You Trust?]]
35	* '''DJ''' ultimately loses for his team, as they would've won had he not taken off his blindfold to see his pet bunny during his challenge. However, likely as a result of the friendships between him, Bridgette, Courtney, Duncan, and Geoff, as well as due to Courtney wanting Sadie out for a petty reason; he's not even in the bottom two.
36	[[AC:Basic Straining]]
37	* Throughout the episode, '''Harold''' is an outsider to Bridgette and Courtney's friendship (though Bridgette is the nicest to him) and DJ, Duncan, and Geoff's group, with his role as a victim to Duncan and Geoff's pranks. As well as the reactions of everyone sans Bridgette during the elimination ceremony clearly indicate that Harold would've been eliminated in this episode had he not rigged the votes.
38	* Considering '''Duncan''' was the one who was actually being mean to Harold, had Harold not witnessed Courtney and Duncan's kiss, Duncan would have arguably been eliminated through his rigged votes instead.
39	[[AC:Brunch of Disgustingness]]
40	* Judging by the conflicts on the girls' team and Bridgette joining Gwen and Leshawna's side, '''Heather''' would've been eliminated had this not been the only reward challenge of the season, with Gwen or more likely Leshawna in the bottom two.
41	[[AC:No Pain, No Game]]
42	* As indicated by her being in the bottom two despite not having a major role in the episode, '''Heather''' would've likely been voted out had Eva, someone considered the scariest of all, not returned to the competition.
43	[[AC:Search and Do Not Destroy]]
44	* '''Heather''' manipulates Trent into smooching him, getting everyone to hate both Trent and herself. Even though this plan worked, Heather had a very good chance at going home over him. Luckily for her, she wins Invincibility [[DeusExMachina at complete random]]. [[note]][[GambitRoulette Even worse]], she wins it ''after'' enacting this plan, but knew Invincibility would be random whilst enacting it, meaning she had no way of knowing this wouldn't backfire and get herself voted out. The only possible rational explanation is that [[ExecutiveMeddling she knew Chris would rig it her way if it made things more interesting]][[/note]]
45	[[AC:Hide and Be Sneaky]]
46	* '''Heather''' is once again saved by winning invincibility, as Geoff wanted his alliance to vote for her and Duncan had to remind him she's immune.
47	* Assuming Geoff didn't lie about not voting for Bridgette and Izzy indeed didn't go through with voting for Owen, '''Duncan''' was spared solely because Izzy voted for Bridgette for some reason rather than voting with the other group of girls for Duncan.
48	[[AC:That's Off the Chain!]]
49	* '''Duncan''' and '''Owen''', who didn't get to finish the last part of the challenge; '''DJ''', '''Geoff''', and '''Gwen''', who were eliminated in the first round of the challenge; as well as '''Izzy''' and '''Leshawna''', who didn't even participate in the challenge, with Leshawna not even building a bike, all avoided elimination solely because for some reason the challenge included a sudden elimination for crossing the finish line last in the final part of the challenge.
50	[[AC:Wawanawka Gone Wild]]
51	* '''Heather''' gets hit by a tranquilizer dart which makes her perfect elimination bait after every stunt she's pulled all season yet Izzy is the one eliminated because... Actually, it's not really explained why nobody jumped at a rare opportunity to vote Heather off.[[note]][[FridgeBrilliance Then again,]] the rest of the campers were probably just scared of Izzy-who spent most of the episode randomly firing off a tranquilizer gun-and considered Heather the lesser threat.[[/note]][[note]]Gwen (the person most gung-ho for getting Heather out) was having a Heroic [=BSOD=] and assumed she was next, so she likely didn't influence the vote very much[[/note]]
52	[[AC:Trial By Tri-Armed Triathlon]]
53	* For the second time in a row, '''Heather''' is once again saved despite not being immune and being hated by everyone at this point, solely because Geoff was eliminated for being "too nice," which could've made him a threat had the season included a jury to decide the winner.
54	* '''Owen''' is also spared from an elimination as a result, as one could argue he's even nicer than Geoff. Keep in mind that Geoff still went with pranking Harold even after the latter promised not to leave his dirty clothes behind.
55	[[AC:Haute Camp-ture]]
56	* As shown by the eliminated contestants' opinions, none of them wanted '''Heather''' to win. However, Katie and Sadie start a chain of accidentally voting for Leshawna, all because they liked her and would love to see her again. Chris also counts Lindsay's and a parrot's votes twice for this to happen, as otherwise the other eliminated contestants would still have a chance to gather a majority of proper votes against Heather. It's unknown whether [[WhatCouldHaveBeen the original premise]] of this episode also included this trope.
57	[[AC:Camp Castaways]]
58	* Judging by '''Owen''' being in the bottom two and the other contestants' surprised reactions to the fact that there was a marshmallow for each of them, it can be assumed that Owen would've been voted out had Chris not decided to "eliminate" Mr. Coconut instead.
59	[[AC:Are We There Yeti?]]
60	* '''Owen''' outruns the girls, but wastes his chance to win by running to Chef's sticky buns instead of the pole, being directly responsible for the guys' loss. In spite of this, he's been spared likely as a result of Chef's greater dislike of Duncan.
61
62	[[/folder]]
63
64	[[folder: Total Drama Action]]
65	[[AC:The Sand Witch Project]]
66	* Judging by Beth's explanation of why '''Lindsay''' was in the bottom two, DJ quitting the show saved her from elimination. Since Chris didn't get to reveal the result of the Grips' elimination ceremony, it could be argued that DJ saved '''Justin''' as well.
67	[[AC:Ocean's Eight - Or Nine]]
68	* '''Courtney''' would've been eliminated with 4 votes against 1 had her lawsuit not guaranteed her being immune on her first day after her return to the competition.
69	[[AC:Million Dollar Babies]]
70	* As shown by Duncan and Harold's confessional, '''Leshawna''' apologizing for her actions through her cheer was what spared her in favor of Heather.
71	[[AC:Super Hero-ld]]
72	* As shown when everyone is talking about whom they are voting for, '''Courtney''' would've likely been voted out had she not won invincibility.
73	* Duncan and Courtney making Harold mistrust Leshawna, even after Beth told him about the girls' plan to eliminate Duncan, was what saved '''Duncan''' from elimination over Leshawna.
74	[[AC:Rock n' Rule]]
75	* '''Courtney''' is once again saved thanks to winning invincibility, as the others made it clear they'd vote for her had she not been immune.
76	* Lindsay accidentally voting for herself, thus losing in a 3-2-1 vote, is what spared '''Duncan''' from an elimination once again. Owen wasting his vote on an immune Courtney also contributed to this, since that also saved Duncan from elimination.
77	[[/folder]]
78
79	[[folder: Total Drama World Tour]]
80	[[AC:General]]
81	* Chris mentions the "If you don't sing, you're out" rule a few times throughout the series. However, multiple times over the course of the season, someone doesn't sing and isn't eliminated. This is especially jarring in Cody's case, as despite making it to the final episode, he didn't sing in the most songs, it's even ironic seeing that he became a singer before ''World Tour'' as well.
82	* Cody. Sierra would often save him from eliminations throughout the season. He even acknowledges this during ''I'm Gonna Make It'', noting that he would never have made it as far as he did without Sierra's help. Another advantage he had was that [[NotWorthKilling neither of the season's antagonists thought he was enough of a threat to bother targeting him]].
83	* DJ, believing to be cursed to hurt innocent animals, attempts to lose on purpose several times, yet ironically goes on to become his team's final member.
84	* Sierra herself. It genuinely wouldn't have been hard for the target to shift to her considering Cody was voting for her every single time. Luckily for her, her team manages to win challenges until it fractures later.
85	[[AC:Walk Like An Egyptian - Part 1]]
86	* '''Owen''' technically doesn't sing, but isn't eliminated. However, Chris may have excused him for still having speaking lines in the song, or because he himself knocked Owen unconscious, rendering him unable to sing for the rest of the song.
87	[[AC:Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan]]
88	* Chris was about to announce '''DJ''' to be eliminated when Harold quit the show, sparing him from the elimination.
89	[[AC:Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better]]
90	* '''Cody''' doesn't sing with Bridgette and his teammates, but isn't eliminated. However, Chris may have excused him for his frozen state.
91	* Bridgette's teammates vote her off for costing them the challenge, but no one thinks of blaming '''Leshawna''', who was the one who came up with the idea not to stop at the checkpoints to collect their teammates.
92	[[AC:Broadway, Baby!]]
93	* '''Alejandro''', '''Cody''', '''DJ''', '''Izzy''', and '''Tyler''' don't sing, but none of them are eliminated. DJ did have a speaking line, though.
94	[[AC:Slap Slap Revolution]]
95	* '''Cody''', '''DJ''', '''Izzy''', '''Sierra''', and '''Tyler''' don't sing, but none of them are eliminated. Tyler did have speaking lines, though.
96	[[AC:The Am-AH-Zon Race]]
97	* '''Courtney''' doesn't sing a song meant solely for her team, yet she isn't eliminated.
98	* '''Heather''' is spared in the first fake elimination ceremony of the season.
99	[[AC:Can't Help Falling in Louvre...]]
100	* Only Noah, Owen, and Sierra sing while Cody and Heather have speaking lines, but the remaining contestants aren't eliminated. However, although Chris never says this outright, it can be assumed this song was meant only for Cody and Sierra and Cody might have been spared for having speaking lines.
101	* Even though he tries to leave the show to end his curse and attempts to lose a tie-breaker, the judges' decision kept '''DJ''' in the game over Lindsay, who was actually singlehandedly completing the challenges for her team.
102	[[AC:Newf Kids on the Rock]]
103	* '''Noah''' doesn't sing, but isn't eliminated. Meanwhile, '''DJ''' attempts to be eliminated via refusing to sing, but Heather successfully tricks him into singing anyway.
104	[[AC:I See London...]]
105	* '''Alejandro''', '''Cody''', and '''Tyler''' don't sing, but neither is eliminated. However, Alejandro may have been excused due to already being caught by Jack the Ripper at this point.
106	* Chris's ScrewTheRulesIMakeThem is what spares the entire Team Amazon, with '''Heather''' in particular, from elimination. Although, it is possible that he could have also announced a non-elimination round to reward both teams in some way.
107	* Noah is an inversion. While pretty much the entire cast TookALevelInJerkass this season, he was one of two characters (the other being Heather) who TookALevelInKindness, becoming the OnlySaneMan of the season. He was voted out simply for being the first person (aside from [[ReformedButRejected Heather, who wouldn't have much credibility]]) to see Alejandro for what he really was and was perhaps the only character that season who was completely undeserving of elimination.
108	[[AC:Greece's Pieces]]
109	* Chris outright says he ignores the results of the voting to keep '''Duncan''' in the show for the drama and "eliminates" an intern instead. Unlike the other fake elimination ceremonies, this was the only one that was without a doubt decided last-minute and wasn't planned beforehand.
110	[[AC:The EX-Files]]
111	* '''Cody''', '''Gwen''', and '''Sierra''' don't sing a song meant solely for their team, but neither is eliminated. However, it is possible that Sierra was excused for having a speaking line whereas Cody and Gwen were excused due to the anti-Gwen nature of the song.
112	[[AC:Picnic at Hanging Dork]]
113	* '''Cody''' and '''Sierra''' don't sing a song meant only for their team, but aren't eliminated. However, they might have been excused for their speaking parts.
114	* '''Courtney''' is saved from an elimination not only because of Gwen's convienient allergy, but also because a delirious Cody accidentally voted for Sierra, instead of Courtney as he had planned.
115	[[AC:Sweden Sour]]
116	* '''Cody''' doesn't sing but isn't eliminated.
117	* '''Courtney''' was spared from an elimination via a fake elimination ceremony, as all of her teammates showed an intent to vote her off right before it was announced.
118	[[AC:Niagara Brawls]]
119	* '''Alejandro''', '''Cody''', and '''Sierra''' don't sing, but aren't eliminated. However, Cody might have been excused for having speaking lines.
120	[[AC:Chinese Fake-Out]]
121	* '''Courtney''' doesn't sing, but isn't eliminated. However, it's possible that the song was meant only for the contestants who made it to the second challenge, thus excluding Courtney from it.
122	[[AC:African Lying Safari]]
123	* '''Cody''' doesn't sing, but isn't eliminated. However, he was likely excused for being at a different location at the time of the song, thus not knowing that the song started.
124	[[AC:Rapa Phooey!]]
125	* '''Sierra''' is spared after a 3-1 vote as a result of the last fake elimination ceremony of the season.
126	[[AC:Awwwwww, Drumheller]]
127	* '''Cody''' and '''Sierra''' don't sing and aren't eliminated. However, considering Chris announced the song in a scene with just Alejandro and Heather, it's likely that the song was meant only for the latter two.
128	* '''Alejandro''' is spared from an elimination as a result of 3-1 vote after Chris instead disqualifies Sierra for blowing up the plane.
129	[[/folder]]
130
131	[[folder: Total Drama: Revenge of the Island]]
132	[[AC:General]]
133	* Lightning. He somehow manages to make it through the entire season despite making little to no plot contribution, simply because he's never targeted despite being such a huge threat.
134	[[AC:Bigger! Badder! Brutal-er!]]
135	* The entire '''Mutant Maggots''' can be counted since they actually failed to complete the challenge properly while the Toxic Rats actually succeeded to bring their totem to the camp stite before its bomb exploded.
136	[[AC:Finders Creepers]]
137	* '''Brick''' attempts to quit, but Chris instead makes him switch teams and hurls an already eliminated Dakota in his place, all because Chef had been captured by Izzy, resulting in Chris not being able to hand the toxic marshmallow to the loser.
138	[[AC:Runaway Model]]
139	* Sam is voted out, likely for failing right when it seemed like he would win, as well as due to his gaming addiction making him TheLoad for his team. One could argue '''Brick''' deserves this title for actually causing the second challenge to happen, with his clothing choice for Sasquatchanakwa causing it to flee in rage, kidnapping Lindsay.
140	[[AC:The Treasure Island of Dr. [=McLean=]]]
141	* '''Scott''' avoids being voted out thanks to using his [=McLean=]-Brand Chris Head, causing Dakota, with the second-most votes, to be eliminated instead.
142	[[/folder]]
143
144	[[folder: Total Drama All-Stars]]
145	[[AC:General]]
146	* Cameron. While his lengthy time on ''Revenge of the Island'' was somewhat justified due to his CharacterDevelopment, in ''All-Stars'' he evaded elimination a ridiculous amount of times with little to no justification (even Cameron himself thought it was strange).
147	[[AC:Moon Madness]]
148	* '''Cameron''' attempts to quit in order to get away from Sierra. However, Chris doesn't respect his wish and instead makes him switch over to the Villainous Vultures, similarly to what happened in "Finders Creepers," with the only difference being that this time there was no excuse to justify a non-elimination round.
149	* '''Mike''' who was outrun to the finish line by Courtney and Gwen, thus being the only contestant to never make it and losing the challenge for his team. However, because of the event described above, he's not even up for elimination. Admittedly, being close to both Cameron and Zoey would've likely saved him anyway.
150	[[AC:No One Eggspects The Spanish Opposition]]
151	* '''Alejandro''' steals and uses Heather's immunity idol, thus making only his vote for her valid, making her eliminated in his place.
152	[[AC:Suckers Punched]]
153	* '''Mike''' is spared from possible elimination due to Chris announcing that the winners of the boxing challenge (Villainous Vultures) will decide on which Hero will be eliminated. They chose Sierra.
154	* On the topic of Sierra, the Vultures inexplicably choosing to vote her off instead of '''Duncan''' is what spares the delinquent for another episode. This is despite the fact Duncan is not only a far stronger competitor than Sierra, but his conflict with both Gwen and Courtney and their ability to convince Cameron and Scott to vote for him too also made Duncan a strong candidate for elimination [[HumiliationConga (and given what happens to Duncan in the following episode, it's likely that even his fans would have preferred to see him go here)]].
155	[[AC:You Regatta Be Kidding Me]]
156	* '''Cameron''' manages to avoid being eliminated with the votes rigged by Mal because Duncan had already left the competition as a result of being arrested. Interestingly, there's no justification as to why this wasn't a double elimination instead.
157	[[AC:Zeek And Ye Shall Find]]
158	* Cameron's medical evacuation saved '''Alejandro''', who likely would've been voted out by Cameron, Mal, Zoey, and their newest friend - Gwen, who sent him to Boney Island.
159	[[AC:The Bold and the Booty-ful]]
160	* Chris mentions that whoever comes back last would be automatically eliminated, but if someone came back empty-handed, it'd be considered even worse. Gwen comes last, but is disqualified by Chris for ruining his painting. Meanwhile, both '''Mal''' and '''Scott''' came back empty-handed (although Mal won Chris over, claiming he brought an injured contestant).
161	[[/folder]]
162
163	[[folder: Total Drama: Pahkitew Island]]
164	[[AC:General]]
165	* Max unknowingly hindered all of Scarlett's plans to get rid of him prior to [[spoiler:his actual elimination]] in episode 10. He may have sucked at being evil but he sure was good at sticking around to make it all the way to [[spoiler: 5th]].
166	* Topher is one as well. Outside of his plot of trying take Chris' job, he contributes little to nothing in the season. He fails to take part in more than half the challenges as well as not interacting with anyone other than Chris (and Sugar in the first episode) until the 7th episode. This is more low-key since Topher got [[spoiler: 8th]] and was the last contestant to be eliminated before the merge.
167	[[AC:So, Uh This Is My Team?]]
168	* '''Leonard''', as his idea for a tower failed, and yet it was Beardo who was voted out instead.
169	[[AC:Twinning Isn't Everything]]
170	* '''Samey''' manages to avoid being voted out, pretending to be her sister and rendering Amy unable to explain things as a result of tricking her into stealing Manchineel Fruit from her. Interestingly, their teammates did plan to vote out the "evil twin," but it was Amy's manipulation that made them believe Samey was the evil one.
171	[[AC:Mo Monkey Mo Problems]]
172	* '''Max''' is spared from elimination by Sugar selling Ella out to Chris for breaking her no singing promise during the challenge (even though it helped them win).
173	[[AC:Sky Fall]]
174	* '''Sugar''' somehow manages to avoid a sudden-death elimination despite yet having to do the climbing portion of the challenge. With Jasmine being able to lift up the tree trapping her by the time, it can be assumed that if the last portion of the challenge had actually been shown, Jasmine would've likely beat Sugar to it.
175	[[AC:Pahk'd With Talent]]
176	* '''Sky''' manages to avoid being eliminated this episode with her having the lowest score come the third and final round. A talent competition that Sugar suggested. Despite her performance being labelled as weak, she stays in the game after Sugar was automatically eliminated because of how horrible her performance was.
177	[[/folder]]
178
179	[[folder: Total Drama Island (2023) Part 1]]
180	[[AC:General]]
181	* Similarly to DJ in ''World Tour'', Damien wants to leave the show by any means necessary. However, Chris threatened that if he were to simply quit the show, he'd owe the producers one million dollars, causing him to continuously vote for himself, try to convince his teammates that their loss was his fault and even make a campaign to vote himself off similar to Dave. Of course, just like in DJ's case, [[DeathByIrony it only works once he actually wants to compete]].
182	* Ripper is HatedByAll for being TheBully with disgusting ToiletHumor but constantly ends up barely surviving eliminations.
183	* Similarly to Heather, [[Characters/TotalDramaJulia Julia]] ends up making it far despite being HatedByAll mostly thanks to often winning immunity or, on rare occasions when she doesn't, someone else coming off as a better target.
184	[[AC:Pirates of the Cabbagean]]
185	* '''Zee''' ultimately loses for his team, as they would've won had he not closed his eyes, thus not noticing a seagull sitting on the ship's wheel which changes its course, therefore failing at crashing it against the ship of the Frogs of Death like Scary Girl proposed. However, likely as a result of the friendships between him and most of his teammates as well as Axel and Ripper getting on the rest of the team's nerves, he's not even in the bottom two.
186	[[AC:Paddle Field Earth]]
187	* Both '''Bowie''' (whom Julia's alliance initially voted for) and '''Priya''' (whom Bowie's alliance initially voted for as a result of Julia having immunity) avoided potentially losing in a tie-breaker thanks to Zee revealing that he was a member of both Bowie's and Julia's alliances and trying to get everyone to vote off Chris, an act so dumb that it causes everyone to re-evaluate their opinions of Zee and prompts Bowie to ask for a re-vote, something completely unprecedented in the entire history of the series up until this point, even during eliminations where someone voted for the wrong person by accident or the votes had been tampered with, which Chris surprisingly allows, resulting in Zee getting sent home instead.
188	[[/folder]]
189
190	[[folder: Total Drama Island (2023) Part 2]]
191	[[AC:General]]
192	* Despite being a competition powerhouse and the winner of the previous season, '''Priya''' is never once targeted for elimination [[TooPowerfulToLive due to being a threat]].
193	* '''Julia''' continues to never get voted off despite her antagonistic attitude and athletic threat to the game. Even in episodes where she doesn’t win immunity, Julia is rarely considered for elimination.
194	[[AC:The Pink Painter Rises Again]]
195	* '''Bowie''' had the biggest target out of anybody on the Skunk Butts due to being HatedByAll regarding his actions last season, with his failure to complete the race not helping matters. However, Scary Girl's decision to suddenly explain how she tried to make herself normal scared everyone off so much that all their focus was placed on getting her out.
196	[[AC:Ice To Beat You]]
197	* '''Zee''' likely avoided getting eliminated for urinating on one of the ice pillars his team needed to cross in order to reach the last key, causing it to melt down to half of its original size, thanks to Nichelle deciding to quit after falling for a fake Hollywood contract written by Julia that said that she would be needed for filming the very next day.
198	[[AC:Canoe You Believe It?]]
199	* '''MK''' avoided being eliminated for being exposed as a cheater by Chris thanks to Julia successfully convincing the members of Team Rat Face that the cheating was Bowie's idea so they'd vote for him instead and he got eliminated.
