Total Drama Pahkitew Island: My Way 

This season, the fifth one in my "My Way" series, involves 14 new teens competing for $1,000,000 on a new island somewhere in Canada. The host is Chris McClean, with his assistant, Chef. A safe camper gets a marshmallow, while the loser goes home on the Cannon of Shame. The final two is a couple, which has happened for only the second time in history. 

Trivia

  • This season is the second season to not have any of the original twenty-two castmates. 

  • This season is tied for being the quickest to the reach the merge. 

  • This season is the second shortest season out of them all.

  • This season is the first season to introduce contestants that are blood-related to each other (Amy and Samey).

  • This season introduced new romance interests between contestants. There is a clear connection/love triangle between Dave, Sky and Topher. However this triangle is broken once Sky rejects Dave once and for all after Dave became obsessed with her.

  • This season introduced new conflicts between contestants. Ella was a conceited witch, which caused her team to dislike her. Max's obsession with being "evil" causes Chris, the host, to show hatred towards him. Dave and Topher both like Sky, causing them to have a mutual disliking towards each other. Samey has been always put beneath by her twin sister Amy, and Amy uses Samey as a tool. Samey and Sky both develop feelings for Topher and fight over him.

  • This is the third season to not take place at Camp Wawankwa. However it is the third season to be competing on an island. 

  • This season's contestants show similar appearance to those of pre-existing characters in the real world. (Cinderella - Ella, Wreck it Ralph - Rodney, Honey Boo Boo - Sugar, Chris McClean - Topher, etc).

  • This season has introduced the most injuries in the first four episodes. However, no one who has been injured has gone home because of injury. (With the exception of Ella, who was voted off later).

  • This season has introduced new alliances. The first one was between Amy and Rodney, however it is the shortest alliance in TDI My Way history as it lasts 3 episodes when Rodney is voted off by Amy. Shawn and Topher later form an alliance due to their disliking of Dave.

  • Leonard and Beardo are the only two contestants in this season to have never been given symbols of safety, aka a marshmallow. 

  • Amy is the first contestant this season to not be voted off from the show, but rather eliminated through sudden death challenge. Jasmine also experiences this. 

  • There are four irregular eliminations in a row. Amy is eliminated in a sudden death mini challenge, Jasmine comes in last for her team and is automatically eliminated, Dave voted himself off and Scarlett was voted off due to Max rigging the votes. 

  • This season's first and only team switch was between Sugar and Samey.

  • Leonard, Sky and Topher are the only contestants not to take the Cannon of Shame.

  • The Confused Bears set a record for most consecutive members eliminated with four. That streak ends however when the Floating Salmon lose in Episode 7.

  • This is the second season in a row where no contestant will return during the competition.

  • Episode 7-8 is the first time the Floating Salmon have lost two challenges in a row. Coincidentally, the challenge's pertained to races, which their team had more people to finish. 

  • Dave voted himself off in Episode 8, causing him to be the only contestant to ever do so.

  • Episode 7 is titled after the movie "The Fault in Our Stars" and Episode 8 is titled after the popular saying/phrase "The birds and the bees". Episode 10 is the first and only episode ever to be named after something a character said during the episode, which in this case Topher exclaimed the title. In Episode 11 Max made a reference to puppeteer/comedian Jeff Dunham's Achmed saying "silence, I kill you". Episode 12 is titled after the line "stupid is as stupid does" from the movie Forrest Gump. The Finale/Episode 13 is titled after the Coldplay song "A Sky Full of Stars". 

  • Episode 10 holds the first double elimination episode of the season and first since the episode 'Shoots and Ladders' in Total Drama Return to the Island. 

  • This season's challenges are based off of the challenges in the real CN series.

  • In Episode 11, Sky wins the challenge and gets to choose who goes home. She ends up picking Samey.

  • Max is the first contestant in Total Drama history to have been disqualified irregularly (trying to blow up the island).

  • This season is the second time in TDMW history that a final two is a couple, and the first since Total Drama Island: My Way.

  • Topher loses the money at the end of the season, after winning. He is the fourth male contestant to win a season.
