Did you know? Sierra was inspired by a real Total Drama fan whose favourite character was Cody. Her name is Liana, and she’s still active in the Total Drama community to this day!
14 years ago today, ‘Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better’ premiered in the United States.
The episode marked the last time Bridgette would participate as a contestant in the series.
Did you know? Izzy is one of the most liked contestants among the show's production crew. Both Jennifer Pertsch and Terry McGurrin have cited her as one of their favourite characters.
tonight will probably be the last time we ever get new Total Drama content so... THANK YOU FOR ALL THE MEMORIES FRESH TV!!! Been a fan of this show before I could even count and whether I'll stop posting here or not, I will forever keep being one at heart.❤️
16 years ago today, ‘Not Quite Famous’ aired in the United States.
The episode spawned many iconic Total Drama moments, such as Heather reading Gwen’s diary and Harold’s unexpected beatboxing.
Despite being deemed as unrealistic in 2010, the technique Alejandro used for photoshopping the photo of Cody and Heather in Total Drama World Tour can easily be done today!
17) Despite celebrating its 17th anniversary today, the series continues to thrive, remaining as successful and beloved as ever among newer cartoons. Long live Total Drama!
Liana was also the source of inspiration for the Total Drama Aftermath video guest Kelsey. Whereas Kelsey was shown to own a Trent doll, Liana owned a real-life Cody doll.

please air the Total Drama Island reboot in the United States. This was your most successful show airing at one point and the fans really want to see it get the greenlight for another season. LIKE AND RT SO THEY SEE IT

One of the biggest mysteries for me is this png render of Dakota and Scott. They used it for some promotional material during TDRI’s roll out but that’s it. Was it part of a scrapped scene? Or a whole scrapped PLOT? We will never know…

Almost a year before its premiere, the storyboard file for the first episode was accidentally leaked by a production member online. That way, the fans found out Beardo would be the first contestant eliminated many months before the actual episode would air.
10 years ago today, Total Drama: Pahkitew Island premiered in the United States.
The season garnered mixed reviews from fans and is considered one of the franchise's weaker seasons.
1) Before TDI, we had Camp TV. Camp TV is the original prototype series for Total Drama Island, with the original concept created in 2003 and the only trailer for the series released in early 2006.
The original title for ‘Sky Fall’ was ‘Break Back Mountain’ before being changed to its new name, due to the original being inappropriate. It is based off the movie ‘Broke Back Mountain.’
Did you know? There were two Total Drama avatar creator apps made in Flash.
The first one was available exclusively in Canada, as part of Total Drama Online. The second one was available in a few European countries back when Total Drama World Tour was airing. Both are now lost.
I haven’t seen anyone talk about this up until now, but a 6teen reboot was most likely in the works back in 2019! It’s probably been scrapped but it would be nice to get a confirmation on what happened to it from a staff/VA.
9) According to Tom McGillis, the confessional was not an original idea of the creators, and was a last-minute addendum to the show, due to the first episode needing more footage.
The fandom is all about appreciating the cozy, teen friendship vibes in TDI but where’s the love for TDA? This season had the most interactions between contestants and exuded such a sweet ambiance throughout! Why isn’t it as appreciated?

5) Originally, the series was picked up by only Teletoon (Canada) and a network in Denmark, with most networks complaining the series was "too tall an order", "too high concept", and "featured too many characters".
15 years ago today, ‘3:10 to Crazytown’ aired in the United States.
The episode marked a turning point in the series, as the first major poster couple for the franchise, Gwen and Trent, broke up.
the fact that Leshawna's gallery ends at TDWT is insane... she feels like such a Total Drama staple yet stopped competing after the first 3 seasons

12) According to Tom McGillis, Owen is the canon winner of Total Drama Island (2007), as he and Jennifer Pertsch wished for him to win as winning didn't matter for him.
