Re: Total Drama World Tour
Cartoon Network has announced that Total Drama World Tour will premiere on June 21st, and will air weekly thereafter on Mondays at 9:00 PM.
Meanwhile, Teletoon will premiere the first episode of Total Drama World Tour on June 10th .. but will not begin regular airdates of the series until September.
This means that -- while Canada will get to see the first episode of the series first -- the U.S. will have seen the bulk of the series before Canada gets it.
After all the trouble Teletoon and Cartoon Network went through to 'synchronize' their airdates during Total Drama Action, I'm not sure why they're doing this.
Canadian fans will almost certainly turn to the internet to get the episodes sooner, which will hurt Teletoon's ratings. And those who choose not to do that will have to struggle to remain 'spoiler-free' by the time the episodes air there.

Re: Total Drama World Tour
Total Drama World Tour premieres tonight at 9:00 PM (EDT/PDT) on Cartoon Network. The first episode, "Walk Like An Egyptian," is 'part one' of a two-part story, which will be concluded next week.
In honor of the occasion, Cartoon Network will air a Total Drama Action marathon during the morning hours .. followed by a Total Drama Island marathon to fill the afternoon.
Prepare for takeoff..!

Re: Total Drama World Tour
And they're off..!
As with the premieres of both previous series, much of this first episode's running time was spent on 'introducing' the airplane setting and competition/elimination situations, and splitting the characters into teams .. three of 'em, this time! The pyramid challenge was fairly 'uneventful' .. but it looks as though it was merely a prelude to a larger egyptian-themed challenge in the next episode.
As for the singing sequence .. yikes. Well, it's just the first one. Hopefully, there will be better songs in future episodes. But Animaniacs (or even the Simpsons), this wasn't.

Stamp your passports for adventure!
Walk Like an Egyptian, part II picked up right where part I left off .. featuring two 'egyptian-themed' challenges, and a much better song this time; it kinda had a Josie and the Pussycats 'vibe' (not high praise, I know .. but it was a 'step-up' from last week, at least).
This episode also featured the first elimination ceremony of the season.
Next week, the cast lands in Japan!

Izzy talking to the camel was great Izzy fun. May her run this time around last deeper into the series than in the past. We can never get enough Izzy.

Re: Total Drama World Tour
The thing about Izzy is that she never seems to actually be 'down for the count'. In addition to having switched teams in all three seasons, she has also come back to the show after being eliminated -- twice!
She is awesome fun, though. Many of the characters are predictable, to some degree -- but one can never be quite sure what Izzy's gonna say or do!
----------
My personal theory is that 'Izzy' is short for 'Isabelle' -- but that, if you actually call her by that name, she acts twice as crazy.

Re: Total Drama World Tour
Total Drama World Tour .. the cure for clogged sinuses!
"Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan" was a bit of a 'mixed bag', IMO. There were a lot of fun character moments (one of the best of which is illustrated above) .. but they were sprinkled throughout a couple of lackluster challenges (and an even more lackluster song). Breaking a bit with tradition, this episode saw a second elimination in a row .. and it was a pretty major one!
Next week, the cast heads home to Canada, for "Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better" ..

Poor Ezekiel, voted off first in both seasons he's been in... didn't think he would be fleshed out that much, but was hoping for a little more. With the preview CN gave during the first episode, I definitely think Duncan will be back too. Wonder what the 'loop hole' would be?
The music element is great so far, even the first song, while not anything special, is kind of catchy. Totally been humming it like Duncan! Think it's a nice, funny addition. Helps keep things fresh and something else to look forward to.

Re: Total Drama World Tour
The songs have yet to impress me, much. The lyrics are clever enough, and the staging/compositions have made for fairly artful -- even enjoyable -- sequences .. but as songs .. a bit 'meh', IMO.
It seems to me that the 'world tour' and 'musical' aspects are working at cross-purposes, to some extent. Maybe if the songs incorporated some of the international 'flavor' of the country the cast was visiting, it would seem more consistent. Or maybe I'm just giving the subject more thought than it requires.
The characters are just as enjoyable as ever, which is the important thing (even though some of my favorites are getting a bit less screen-time, as I'd said).

Re: Total Drama World Tour
I'm really happy about this new season, and i anticipate on following it 'till the end.
While watching Episode 1, part 2, i was so annoyed at CN for having Ezekial voted of first AGAIN. But it has been confirmed that he's returning sometime in the season. Just hope he can make it through one elimination next time.
Anyways, I love the new on-the-go style of the new season but haven't liked the songs much.
I mean, "Come fly with us" was okay, but Both in Part two were terrible to me.
Well, the falling one was funny and kind of catchy so i guess i disagree with myself.
I like how Alejandro is very capable of taking advantage of people, Smart, and Athletic. kind of like a mixture of Justin, Heather and Duncan of previous seasons.
I caught the very end of Episode 4, and saw right when Alejandro ditched Bridgette.
very clever
CAUTION! That Spoiler down there tells the next voted off. If you want to know, be my guest.

Re: Total Drama World Tour
Here's hoping that Team Victory sees a change of fortune ..
.. three eliminations in a row, cutting the team completely in half -- only three team-mates remain. And this was merely the fourth episode of the season..!
Still, "Anything Yukon Do, I Can Do Better" was a very enjoyable episode.
The challenges were both 'location-appropriate' and 'character-showcase-friendly' .. and the singing sequence was actually entertaining (thanks mostly to Bridgette's misfortune; though, I also appreciated that only a limited number of cast-members participated, rather than attempting to shoe-horn every character into the song) .. also, Alejandro's manipulation of Bridgette was as 'cold' as the frozen tundra.
Next episode: the cast visits New York City, in "Broadway, Baby!"
-----------
Welcome to the forum, TotaldramaThomas..! It's good to see another TD fan here. Thanks for hiding the 'next elimination' spoiler .. (I opted not to look, since I prefer to let the show reveal those to me as it airs).

Re: Total Drama World Tour
Double the laughs!
Double the music!
Double the DRAMA!!
In addition to Monday's regularly-scheduled episode of Total Drama World Tour, Cartoon Network has premiered the first episode of Total Drama World Tour: Aftermath this week as an 'online exclusive' (it is currently available only as an iTunes purchase .. but it should soon be posted for free streaming via the Cartoon Network website, as well (it is, of course, also available for free on YouTube -- at least, until CN finds out about it). Apparently, CN will release the other three Aftermaths in the same way later this season, as those episodes come up.
It should be noted that when Teletoon begins airing TDWT in Canada this fall, the four Aftermath episodes will instead be aired on television, in their proper sequence within the show.
Episode 5: "Broadway, Baby!" .. this was, IMO, the first episode of the third season which I felt really 'delivered' on every level; the challenges were ludicrously fun, the song sequence was brilliantly realized (and location-appropriate!), and there was strategy aplenty on display -- from several key characters!
Episode 6: "Bridgette Over Troubled Water" .. the first installment of Total Drama World Tour: Aftermath is hosted by Geoff and Blaineley (the Celebrity Manhunt hostess from the TDA Reunion Special). In addition to 'exit interviews' with Harold and Bridgette (both Duncan and Ezekiel remain elusively 'at large'), there are a number of great moments with the cast-members who didn't get to participate in this season's gameplay.
Next week: it's off to Germany, for "Slap Slap Revolution" ..
Double the music!

Re: Total Drama World Tour
Wow
And just when I was beginning to think nobody was reading my lengthy ramblings here, about this show..
Thanks, TotalDramaTV..!
I'd like to also recommend a few other informative Total Drama links:
Total Drama Production Blog .. maintained by TD writers / directors Mark Thornton and Todd Kauffman. They reveal lots of nifty 'behind-the-scenes' nuggets (though, usually, not until after a given episode has aired in Canada) -- and a healthy dose of silliness, as well.
-------------------------
re*fresh .. the Fresh TV blog, with 'behind-the-scenes' info on the creative staff for Total Drama, 6teen and Stoked.
-------------------------
Total Drama Wiki .. a user-edited online encyclopedia for all three seasons of Total Drama, with articles on anything and everything that appears on the show.
There are, of course, also discussion forums 'out there' which are dedicated to Total Drama .. but I won't link to them, since that's often 'frowned-upon' here.

Re: Total Drama World Tour
and, speaking of 'links' ..
"Slap Slap Revolution" brings the cast to the German Alps, for a pair of delightfully silly 'German-themed' challenges .. and a short-but-fun song, set to the tune of Mozart's Eine Kleine Nachtmusik. When all is over, however, yet another elimination ceremony is held .. with results that truly make Total Drama history!
Next week, the cast heads to the jungles of South America, for "The Am-AH-zon Race"..!
