Total Drama Island is a spoof off of CBSs hit show survivor. It has a more dramatic aspect of everything in the show such as the host, competions, contestenants and elimination night. The cartoon uses stereotypical teenagers to make fun of all of the drama that happens on every season of the show. Tom McGills and Jennifer Pertsch created a show called Total Drama Island, a parody of the hit series Survivor, in order to add more humor and make fun of their clichés.
Total Drama Island is based at a place called Camp Wawanakwa which is a disgusting deserted Island just off of Ontario, Cananda. Survior’s location changes from season to season, but is always an isolated area and the surrounding area’s are commonly a tropical island one would vacation …show more content…

The cartoon created a place called Playa Des Losers, where once the contestants have been eliminated they go there and party. It is the complete opposite of the enviorment that they just came from. On Playa Des Losers they deffientely do not feel like losers because they are living in luxuiary. This is very similar to what Survivor has called Ponderosa, which is an incredibly nice house or resort with a spa and unlimited drinks and food.

Total drama island always creates their charecters to be the common stereotypes such as a punk rock guy, a strong cocky guy, a dumb blond, a nerdy girl, a cowboy, a cheerleader and a gross guy that is into things like farts. This is very similar to the basic cast of Survior, two seasons, they have even had the teams be brawns, vs. brains vs. beauty. Then both shows break them up into teams, purposely putting the personalities together to create certain situations, which makes for a whole lot of drama when they form alliances and the teams get switched around. Total Drama loves to show this aspect through characters such as Alejandro in World Tour where he would constantly make short term alliances just to backstab them so he was able to advance in the game. Of course, being stranded on an island together relationships are bound to occur. Total Drama makes fun of these cliché’s with one couple Emma and Noah, where Emma is constantly saying that she doesn’t want a relationship because she wants to focus on the game. Of course they end up together and show their happily ever after in the finale episode, just like Rob Mariano and Amber Brkich-Mariano who got engaged on the season
