1''[[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/12269176/1/Total-Drama-Losers Total Drama Losers]]'' is a ''WesternAnimation/TotalDrama'' fanfiction by Creator/{{Lord of the Sloths}}. An unspecified time after the events of ''Total Drama [[NewSeasonNewName Pahkitew Island]]'', Chris [=McLean=] brings back 18 of the lowest performing contestants [[FandomSpecificPlot to compete in a brand new season]] for the grand prize of one million dollars.

3A sequel, ''Fanfic/TotalDramaWinners'', was later released, bringing back average and high-performing contestants who the author believes deserve another chance.

5!!This fanfiction contains examples of these tropes:
6
7* AllLovingHero: Ella sees only the best in everyone.
8* AlphaBitch: Amy. However, her behaviour turns off most of the characters, although a few of them try to make friends with her.
9* AntiHero: Eva is mean to just about everyone except Noah, but she plays fair and is completely honest about her worst traits.
10* AscendedExtra: The contestant roster is skewed to characters who got little screen time in canon. Notable examples are Dawn, Staci, Ella, and Amy.
11* AttentionDeficitOohShiny: During one challenge, Sammy gets distracted from her goal when she finds Minesweeper on the computer.
12* BackForTheFinale: Although the finalists can only choose two helpers each, all the eliminated players return to watch the finale.
13* BearsAreBadNews: Scuba Bear. Especially when Chris puts [[AxCrazy Scarlett]] in control of them.
14* BlatantLies: Staci eventually admits to herself that most of her talk about her family is this. [[spoiler: It turns out that the truth is so boring, people actually like her better when she's lying.]]
15* DemotedToExtra: Several characters who were major players in canon make cameos, typically in a staff role. For example, Shawn, canonically a ''[[NewSeasonNewName Pahkitew Island]]'' finalist, is on the talent show judging panel; and Alejandro, canonically a ''World Tour'' finalist and an ''All-Stars'' contestant, serves as Noah's opponent during the boxing challenge.
16* {{Flanderization}}: [[WordOfGod The author]] at one point states that they felt like they over exaggerated Topher's egotism a bit too much in this story.
17* HorribleJudgeOfCharacter: Ella trusts everybody no questions asked. Same goes for Rodney who trusts pretty much any female in the cast.
18* ImNotHereToMakeFriends: Eva's aggressive attitude suggests this. She refuses to make friends with the other contestants, despite finding security in her friendship with Noah.
19* InSeriesNickname: Staci likes to call Amy "Aim" as an attempt to make friends with her.
20* JerkWithAHeartOfJerk: Amy. It doesn't matter whether it's someone trying to be her friend or her sister.
21* LovableJock: Tyler's main selling point. The fact that he is lovable keeps him in the game, and he occasionally manages to conquer his clumsiness, [[spoiler: enough to win in the "canonical" ending]].
22* MistakenForGay: Happens to Katie and Sadie during chapter twelve.
23* NoFourthWall: Aside from the usual confessionals addressing the audience (Since this is supposed to be Reality TV show), Blaineley also has frequent arguments with whoever's filming her during the Aftermath chapters.
24* OddFriendship: Despite having very little in common, Brick and Sammy become extremely close and always vote as a team.
25* OnlyKnownByTheirNickname: Averted with Sammy. Only Chris and Amy regularly use "Samey" while everyone else uses her real name, showing that most of the cast members respect her.
26* PaintballEpisode: The chapter "Painted Love" revolves around a paintball based challenge with Jo and Jasmine as guest characters.
27* PetTheDog: Amy calling Sammy by her real name [[spoiler:in Sammy's ending]] because she thought Sammy "deserved to hear it at least once".
28* PopCulturalOsmosisFailure: Chris names one of the obstacles in the chapter ten challenge after Music/PeterGabriel and is upset when almost none of the character competing get the reference.
29* TheReasonYouSuckSpeech: The final four challenge requires each contestant to roast Chris, giving him one of these, with Heather, Zoey and Sugar judging.
