Recap / Ridonculous Race Brazillian Pain Forest

Go To

In Brazil, the teams must retrieve their instructions from a mitten full of bullet ants, cross a gorge, and shift through coconuts for their next card. Afterwards, they have to make costumes for a group of dancers, and then head for the Chill Zone via hang-glider.

Tropes

  • Bland-Name Product:
    • Kelly mentions Taylor wanting a Malibu Bonnie dollhouse when she was five.
    • A mention is given to a "SeaVille" amusement park.
  • Body Horror: The contestants who didn't swim with sharks in the last "Botch or Watch" (save for Kitty and Taylor) had to get a tip from the venomous Bullet Ants. Their hands were swollen for the rest of the episode. Laurie was the most notorious example.
  • Call-Back: Owen remembers his fear of riding in the Jumbo Jet from Total Drama World Tour.
  • Facepalm: The plane Dwayne and Junior are set to fly with gets a tire punctured by something sharp on the runway, causing a huge delay for the teams on board. Junior realizes "something sharp" has to be the broken fossil pieces his dad left there seconds before and facepalms.
  • Get A Hold Of Yourself Man: When Laurie breaks down over having eaten sheep meat, especially to win a challenge for what turned out to be a non-elimination round, Miles slaps her and tells her to calm down and forget what happened.
  • Groin Attack: Brody in the "Coconut" part of the challenge.
  • Kick the Dog: Taylor literally kicks a goat away when she gets frustrated with the show. However, said goat head-butts Taylor in retaliation.
  • Laser-Guided Karma: Taylor gets pooped on by a cow and then gets head-butted by the goat she was traveling with, after kicking it.
  • Nature Tinkling: With no toilets aboard, the Adversity Twins leave the plane in a hurry when it lands in the Brazilian rainforest and they've got the runs from even being near cows. As they go behind the trees, they wonder what they could use as toilet paper.
  • Plot Hole:
    • How come the broken pieces of Dwayne's fossil were able to pop the plane's tires when it broke before he even had run up to it?
    • Why weren't the Adversity Twins, Stepbrothers, Sisters, and Ice Dancers also penalized alongside the Vegans for failing to do a portion of this leg of the race properly? note 
  • Potty Failure: Jay is too slow getting his pants down in the Brazilian rainforest and soils them. He asks Mickey to find him new pants.
  • Pun-Based Title: The title is a play on the location the episode takes place at, the Brazilian Rainforest.
  • Shaking the Rump: Don announces the challenge to make a carnival-worthy costume by donning a flashy outfit himself and lightly shaking his cheeks at the camera.
  • Shout-Out: Jacques mentions the 2010 Vancouver Olympics.
  • You Need a Breath Mint: The smell of sheep head is still in Laurie's breath. Miles asks the other contestants if any of them has a mint on them.
