## Opening Sequence

LYRICS:

Naaaananananananananaaaannaaaaa

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!!

Whistling \*I wanna be famous\*

VIDEO: The camera pops out of a tree, an eagle's nest, and a totem pole carving. A clapperboard slams down in front of the camera. The camera then zips down to the mess hall, where Chef is forcing Annie and Brydon to eat crappy food while they try to escape. The camera pans outside, where Julie is dancing and Susan is watching. Julie gets hit by a book and Susan laughs. Alex glares at her. He grabs her book and throws it into the air, causing the camera to pan up into the sky. The camera pans down to see the book as it comes crashing down into Alex's soup in the main lodge. After this, the camera races to the campfire. Everyone is there, whistling the end of the theme. Alex is looking uncomfortable as he eats his soup as the song ends.

## Confessional

The confessional returns this season. Joseph is the first to use it this season. It is a small closet in the mess hall instead of an outhouse. It only returns a few times.

## Alliances

Nate was the only one to form an alliance, albeit rather short. Dan was the only member, but he was pretending to be in the alliance so he could turn on Nate.

Dan (pretending to be in the alliance)

## Elimination

This season, a small plane takes the eliminated contestant away. They must walk the Runway of Shame and board the Plane of Loserdom (a reference to the Boat of Loserdom from Total Drama Mekapanema). The 'Dock of Shame' elimination music plays as the contestant exits, however it is toned down and the contestant talks over it most of the time. Sometimes it is even cut off, when Alex is eliminated, the music is cut off. Also, the dramatic tension is sometimes cut short by Chef, who immediately announces the person going home.

## Trivia/References

* This season takes place at another old summer camp. The only other season to do so was Total Drama Mekapanema. Other seasons had camps, but they were built for the show and not actually an old summer camp.
* Camp Ritchatakwa is similar to Camp Wawanakwa in many ways, like the native feel and the rundown buildings. It even has the 'akwa' at the end of the name, same as Wawanakwa.
* This season is way more serious and like Total Drama Island, it has a lot of drama and the challenges aren't the main focus.
* Marissa Davis, the co-host of Drama from Total Drama: Frye Island-onward, does not appear this season, making it one of the rare times she doesn't make at least a small appearance in the New Era.
* Julie, a contestant from Season 4, appeared again as a contestant this season.

### References to other seasons/shows

* In Chef's "Vacation", Camp Mekapanema made an appearance. So did Citiesburg.
