Top Ten Most Controversial Total Drama Episodes
Episodes that got controversy of Total Drama, either for being inappropriate, or just plain awful. I'd recommend you to watch the whole series and not watch the episodes alone, because you have to watch them in order.
When I saw this episode with my older brother, he freaked out. (Don't worry, I was 10.) He tried to convince me not to watch Total Drama until I turned 11. That backfired terribly, and I still watched it. When my mom saw it, she didn't care that much. She only made me promise not to repeat anything inappropriate.
A lot of quotes in this episode were inappropriate, which was the main reason Total Drama Island got so much controversy. Also, Heather's breasts were exposed to the whole cast.
It's a great episode, but it can seem a bit South Park-ish for a moment.
That's not even mentioning the fact that a case of Multiple Personality Disorder was cured literally at the push of a button. Unfortunate implications doesn't even begin to describe that moment.
Probably the worst episode of Total Drama, along with Sundae Muddy Sundae. The "jokes" were corny, 7 or 8 contestants most likely died, and Camp Wawanakwa sank.
I think that's all I need to say.
Although Total Drama is not a real show, so we really couldn't expect it to accurately represent a disorder, this was just insensitive. People who actually have MPD struggle. They don't get rid of it at the push of a button.
They killed my favorite friendship again. They ruined Courtney's character. Chris chose to change the rules just to get Courtney voted off when she had clearly won.
Ed McDonald is a mess, and nobody can tell me otherwise. I'm happy he got fired.
This episode has one of the worst challenges of all time: making a sundae.
In addition, Courtney gets eliminated, making the finale very obvious. This is one of the most hated, if not the most hated, episodes.
Courtney shouldn't have been disgraced like that. She really deserved to win "Total Drama" more than Duncan.
Lindsay called out Heather for being mean and nasty. Lindsay gave Heather the middle finger for what she did to her and everybody else on the show.
Chris said the last person to cross the line is eliminated. Yet, in a future episode, he eliminates Jasmine for not crossing the line, even though Sugar was the last one in the race. Chris' logic is flawed. Plus, he added that Owen didn't technically cross the finish line, even though he flew across it.
Lindsay cursing Heather out is arguably one of the best moments on the show. However, to many people, the long censor bleep was considered inappropriate.
Cartoon Network censored much of this episode, along with X-Treme Torture.
The episode itself is fine, with the exception of one scene: a scene where Cody is about to fall into Lady Liberty's breasts, and Sierra saves him. In the cockpit, Cody and Chef agree it would have been a good way to die. This scene was banned in the USA, but I've seen it on Netflix (they use the Canadian version).
An entire scene from this episode was cut out in the USA for defiling the Statue of Liberty and being inappropriate.
Why isn't this episode higher? For some reason, it features Dave again after being eliminated, and it completely stomps out everything good left in him. I didn't really like Dave at all since he was just a whiny, pessimistic brat, complained about everything, was annoying to the max, and was never happy with anything.
In this episode, he acts like a whiny child and blows up over Sky having a boyfriend. He literally tried to MURDER her on live TV, and that brought out the absolute worst in his character.
As much as I can see how people could say Duncan should have been eliminated here, I personally think that another character, not Lindsay or Duncan, should have left at this point. In fact, I believe Lindsay and Duncan should have been in the finale.
The character I wish had gone home this episode is... BETH!
She should have gone home in this episode. She had no right to be in the finale. I think it was Beth's fault for distracting Lindsay.
It should have gone like this: Beth, Harold, and Lindsay make a deal to vote Duncan off, but Duncan and Courtney both vote for Beth. Then Lindsay accidentally votes for Beth.
I think I would have enjoyed that more.
It was sad to see Courtney getting cheated on. Don't get me wrong, Duncney was a very toxic relationship, so it was good they were done, but that did not mean Duncan had to cheat! They could have just talked it out. Duncan cheated because he was the bad boy. Courtney was a bad girlfriend. And Gwen, instead of rejecting the kiss, just joined in, which was very wrong. Her friendship with Courtney was over.
Oh, but in All Stars, they became friends again! Only for them to become enemies again! Why did they have to do that?! Say Agreed with Nina if you agree!
Another dud episode of Total Drama Action. This one has the controversy of Gwen dumping Trent and then telling the other team to vote him off (he was throwing challenges for her). I feel really sorry for Trent in this episode because he was trying to do something nice for Gwen, but she dumps him because of that (though the 9 joke and Duncan's influence also played a part).
Trent and Gwen break up. Worst thing.
The treatment of Alejandro pisses me off! Mal is super unlikeable, and Zoey is dumber than ever before. This is a clear example of the writers dumbing down everyone to make Mal look more intimidating.
At least Zoey said she was going to inspect Mal. Finally!
Okay, I know this is a very unpopular opinion, but I actually think this is worse than Sundae Muddy Sundae.
You guys/girls explained this very well.
I guess you can say Alejandro deserved the treatment he got. I could only say that if I ignored the fact that he was trapped in a robot suit.
The Newcomers
The episode between the two disgraces in Total Drama (Sundae Muddy Sundae and The Final Wreck-ening) looks like gold compared to the worst episodes of the series, but it's terrible compared to others. The controversy comes from two butt jokes inserted into the episode. How desperate were the writers?
I actually like this episode, but only on one condition: Duncan must win. For the people who got the Beth ending, I am so sorry. I'm not a worker for Fresh, but I am just saying this because she's a bad character. I think Beth deserved the finale less than Courtney did. Then again, I do like Courtney. I think Beth was the worst this season and Duncan was the best.
Harold and Lindsay could have been a better final two than Duncan and Beth.
In the US and Canada, we got a horrible person as the season winner.
Sugar, if you wanted your team to win, why did you get Ella eliminated?
Ella's elimination was downright cruel.
I didn't like Mike's elimination very much, but the episode was okay, I guess.
I did like seeing Mike fight himself and then confess his love for Zoey. That part was cute.
Duncan's arrest is the single worst moment in Total Drama history.
Gwen touched Cody's naked butt. And Cody seemed to enjoy it.
Gwen did say he wasn't supposed to act like he enjoyed it...
The word "damn" was not meant as a swear. Chris was trying to make a pun by saying the beaver could make a "dam" good hat, like a beaver dam.
I can see why people don't like it, though.
I really liked this episode, but the only reason it is here is because Chris kicks off DJ. DJ is an awesome character. Not one camper disliked him. Even Heather joined the group hug as he was eliminated. I think Owen, or someone else, should have gone instead because he was the first one there.
This would most likely be my number one controversial episode because I felt really bad for Courtney and Gwen. Gwen did show guilt on her face! Also, how come only Gwen got hate? It should have been Duncan because he was the one who kissed her, yet he got no hate whatsoever!
Cody throwing Duncan the KO punch was pretty awesome, not gonna lie.
Too many voice cracks.
Also, lame editing fails.
I'm quite shocked when Alejandro stole the McLean-Brand Head from Heather and used it to get her eliminated.
Here's a loophole when Max tricked Scarlett. Scarlett believed it was Chris, only to be tricked by Max, but it was clearly obvious it was a robot.
Also, Scarlett is a super genius! So if she's a super genius, why was she not able to tell it was a robot?
It didn't make a lot of sense that Scarlett got eliminated, because since when would Chris eliminate a violent psychopath? He's had Izzy and Mal, so why not Scarlett? Also, he brings Ezekiel back a few times, even though he's practically a zombie! Max should have been the only one eliminated.
