The thirteen new contestants who are introduced in here are Anne Maria, B, Brick, Cameron, Dakota, Dawn, Jo, Lightning, Mike, Sam, Scott, Staci, and Zoey.

[4] The new cast of campers must then participate in competitions to avoid being voted off the island as they all try to get ready to compete with some of the most popular original contestants in the fourth season.

This process of elimination is continued on until two players (Cameron and Lightning) remain on the island, where then they are subject to a final contest.

Cameron is the original winner in Canada, but he is also shown as the winner in Australia, Bulgaria, Croatia, Denmark, France, Hungary, Israel, Italy, Latin America and Brazil (Cartoon Network), the Middle East, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Portugal, Russia, Serbia, Singapore, Spain, South Africa, Finland, Japan, Latin America, Brazil, Norway, Poland, Romania and Sweden, Turkey, and United Kingdom.

[citation needed] Lightning is the original runner-up in Canada, but he is also the winner in the United States and the Philippines.

[24] In the early production stages, the character lineup had twelve contestants, and most of them had body shapes, colors, clothing, heights, hair styles and faces that were completely different from the final designs.

His design was similar to that of the character in the Total Drama Island special as the man in the car when Courtney "discovered" civilization.

Cameron's initial design would be reused for Jay and Mickey on Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race.

However, at the beginning of the season, all of the original contestants (except for Blaineley) were seen together on a yacht, revealing their status after Total Drama World Tour.

A list of all the cameos in Total Drama: Revenge of the Island and their roles during their cameos are shown below: The fifteen original contestants who no longer appeared after the first episode of the fourth season were Alejandro, Beth, Cody, Courtney, Eva, Geoff, Harold, Justin, Katie, Leshawna, Noah, Sadie, Sierra, Trent, and Tyler.

Total Drama: Revenge of the Island was developed and produced by Fresh TV and distributed by Cake Entertainment.

Production started in early 2010 when the season was first announced as Total Drama Reloaded, and the new characters were first released to the public by then.

However, major delays in 2011 caused the season's air date to be pushed back to 2012, since many scenes consisting of radioactive material had to be cut out or edited.

There were also some other things that did not make the final cut also, including some backgrounds, extra scenes, a flying squirrel concept and an episode about Dakota hosting the show when she locks Chef and Chris in a closet.

[3] As revealed by Christian Potenza on the Total Drama: Live Action Panel at Canada's 2011 Fan Expo, Total Drama: Revenge of the Island was originally scheduled to air in July 2011 in the United States and in September 2011 in Canada, but due to the 2011 Tōhoku earthquake and tsunami and the nuclear accident which caused many Japanese citizens to receive radiation poisoning, many staff members found some of the season's scenes of radioactive material and creatures to be considered insensitive to victims of the disaster.

This initiated the producers decision to modify the storyline of the season in order to remove some of the radioactive references, leading to many scenes being edited out.

[4] On April 5, 2011, Christian Potenza posted a YouTube video of him recording the first line of Total Drama: Revenge of the Island.

[33]This line is used for the promotional trailer that Teletoon showed at the end of the Total Drama World Tour finale, which was first released on April 24, 2011 (Easter Sunday).

[34] On September 27, 2011, at the Total Drama: Live Action Panel at Canada's 2011 Fan Expo, Cory Doran confirmed all of Mike's personalities, and Christian Potenza said that the team name for the Radioactive Rats was scrapped.

[2] On December 14, 2011, an animated interview with Chris McLean and a fan was released and revealed that the new team name is now "Toxic Rats".

[36] On December 18, 2011, the official Total Drama: Revenge of the Island website was launched that includes interactive menus and biographies of all the new contestants, as well as videos and season descriptions.

Total Drama: Revenge of the Island has received mixed to positive reviews, attracting some criticism for its shorter length in comparison to the previous seasons and the supposed character derailment of the host Chris McLean.
