''Total Drama World Tour'' is the third season of the ''Total Drama'' franchise that began with ''Total Drama Island'' and ''Total Drama Action''. The series extension was commissioned by Teletoon from the producers, Fresh TV, Inc. The season's elements and plot structure is largely based on ''The Amazing Race'', with the semi-final episode being a direct parody of the reality series. In this series, fifteen returning contestants and three new contestants are taken on a trip around the world, and compete in cultural themed challenges of countries they visit. An added twist in this season is that they are required to break spontaneously into song, or else be immediately eliminated. The original cast from this and past seasons do not compete in the next season, ''Total Drama: Revenge of the Island'', as there is a new cast. However, nine of these original contestants each have a cameo in the next season, while seven of them return to compete again in the fifth season, ''Total Drama All-Stars''.〔http://www.freshtvinc.com/blog/mipcom-news-with-tom-mcgillis/〕 This series is rated TV-PG-D in the United States and Australia. A new series based on this season was created by Fresh TV called ''The Ridonculous Race'', which started airing in September 2015. ==Plot== As with the previous seasons, fifteen returning contestants and three new ones (Alejandro, Sierra, and Blaineley) partake in an elimination-based competition for the grand prize of C$1,000,000, led by series host Chris McLean (Christian Potenza). In this season, contestants are taken around the world throughout international based challenges and are required to break into song whenever Chris rings a special chime, or face instant elimination. There are 30 songs in total, and every episode takes place in a different location. As the contestants are eliminated, they take the "Drop of Shame"〔 by parachuting out of the plane in which the elimination ceremonies take place. When eliminated, they lose the chance at the million dollars (though such an elimination may not be permanent). The winner of ''Total Drama World Tour'' is Alejandro in Canada, while Heather is the runner-up. However, in the American version and iTunes version, Heather is the winner. Beth, Eva, Geoff, Justin, Katie, Sadie, and Trent do not return to compete; instead, they appear on the aftermath special, sitting in the peanut gallery and on the last episode while cheering for the finalists, Alejandro and Heather. However, as stated multiple times in following seasons, there was never any clear winner, as the money was thrown into a volcano by Ezekiel, making the money burn into ashes. This is the second season (first being ''Total Drama Island'') in the series where no contestant wins anything. This season's entire plot structure and elements will be expanded into a whole new series called ''Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race'' which is set to air in 2015. This series will also take place around the world and also feature eighteen competitors (teams) like ''Total Drama World Tour''.〔https://pressroom.turner.com/us/cartoon-network/cartoon-network-approaches-upfront-unmatched-growth-across-all-screens〕 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Total Drama World Tour」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
