## Cast Photo

**Total Drama: Free Agents III Fans VS Faves** is the third season of the Total Drama: Free Agents series.

## Overview

Heading back to the island, TDFAIII brings us both returning contestants and some fresh faces! However, before moving onto that, the contestants must first head to a secret location, where they will spend the first week virtually!

With 12 contestants split into two teams (Fans Vs Faves), this season brings back some of your favorites, but can the Fans win against experienced players?

### Format

* **Teams**: Similar to last season, this season also introduces teams: Fans and Faves. However, the game still follows the traditional "Free Agent" format. The teams mainly exist as a way to separate the two groups.
* **Hell (Purge) Week**: This season features the first ever Hell Week. During this, a contestant returns and another is automatically eliminated in their place. Everyone else proceeds to the challenge, where another contestant will be eliminated that same night.
* **Return**: During Hell Week, Frieda Bhatt returns to the competition.
* **Final Three**: During the final three, the contestants will compete in a set of challenges. The overall winner will be a finalist and must pick who they want to take to the finale from the remaining two.
* **Voting**: One of the important parts of the game is that the winner of the challenge is immune, but unable to vote.
* **Finale**: The finale of TDFA consists of a jury vote, rather than a challenge. Unlike other shows, however, every previously eliminated contestant is a member of said jury. Each person will vote for one of the finalists, and the one with the most votes is the winner!

### Twists

* The big twist of the season was the cast itself. The first week, also known as Week 0, the contestants all stayed in a secret location and could only interact virtually. This meant that they could not actually see each other in person, so the Faves all took on an alias, and played as "catfishes."
	+ The fake contestants were Cleo Cummings, Cyrille Kardos, Jason Foxwell, Wren Guenther, Slava Orlov, and JJ Jessmer.
		- Two of the "fakes" came back as actual competitors in a later season. these were Cleo and Wren.
		- This was a twist even *outside* of the RP, for it wasn't revealed to anybody who wasn't playing a catfish.
	+ Due to this, the first week was a completely different format, and did not actually count towards the competition. In this format, the contestants would rank everyone from best to worst, and the top two contestants would then eliminate another contestant.
		- The winners of this week were Wren Guenther (Naomi Lee) and Jinxie Blackwell. The two eliminated JJ Jessmer (Russell Takeyama).
		- The person ranked as the overall best of the week received a cash prize of $5,000.
			* This winner was Naomi Lee, who was playing as Wren.

* This season was the first to feature an official Hell Week (originally titled Purge Week), taking place on Week 6.
	+ Frieda Bhatt returned to the competition, with Naomi Lee being the instant elimination. Faust Allius was later the second elimination of the week.
* In the first three seasons, there was an auction held towards the end of the game. During this auction, Week 5, the contestants could bet coins against one another to receive prizes, but many of the items were vague and fully up to luck.
	+ This season, the contestants could receive one of the following: **The Bucket**, **The Briefcase**, **A Karma Koin**, **EARLY**, **The Check**, **The Cake**, and **The Scroll**.
	+ An important item this season was the Karma Koin, won by Faust Allius. This was actually an immunity idol, although he never used it, and it was later given to Jinxie Blackwell.
	+ Naomi Lee shared her prize, The Cake, with Jinxie Blackwell and Bree McKinley. The three received an advantage in the next challenge, which was actually a disadvantage for Naomi and Jinxie, who planned to throw the challenge that week.
	+ Chase Grande received The Check, winning him $1,000.
	+ The Scroll was won by Bree McKinley. It was a Letter From Home to her and two other contestants. She chose Travis Stone, who received a letter from his daughter, and Naomi Lee, who received a letter from her girlfriend.
* This season gave a cash prize, $100,000, out to the last remaining member of their respective teams, excluding the winner.
	+ Iris Wong won this for the Faves, and Travis Stone won this for the Fans.

## Trivia

* This season was the first to feature returning contestants, as well as the first to have this as part of the theme.
