In the end, whoever completes all the challenges gets a hundred thousand dollars.
Many viewers claim that the show is not for kids. The first network that aired the program states," Total Drama is a Canadian adult animated reality comedy television series." When the program aired on Cartoon Network, they edited for teens. Total Drama Island has a lot of inappropriate jokes throughout the seasons and the unedited ones have inappropriate scenes. However, the show was viewed by ages ten and up. A student at Hillgrove, Maya Smith states, " When I was younger, I watched the show, and I did not see anything inappropriate."
The versions that aired are unique because each character has a characteristic that makes them different, but they all have a common goal the teens share is to have all the other players eliminated, then win all the challenges and win the money. Total Drama Island is very entertaining to watch. According to a Pebblebrook student, Anthony Smith, “I love that show because each character acts differently in their way, and the characters are so funny.”
