The remaining seven are dumped in Niagara Falls for their next challenge, where it is revealed that due to one person winning a second chance challenge on the Aftermath is debuting onto the show and that the teams have merged with 8 people. The challenges have a wedding theme, leading to added tension for three particular couples. A powerful manipulator convinces the others to vote off a contestant they considered a threat, forcing one of the friendliest competitors to leave the plane.


Plot

Alejandro Candy Cane

Owen has a nightmare about Alejandro.

The episode opens with a semi-feral-looking Ezekiel taking a piece of cheese from a rat, desperately eating it, and hiding after noticing the sleeping contestants being dragged to the cargo hold area by the interns. The scene then cuts to a sleeping Owen having a pleasant dream, in which he is naked and floating with balloons in the clouds. As Alejandro begins popping balloons with candy canes, the dream quickly transforms into a nightmare, prompting Owen to tell Alejandro that he cannot use candy canes for evil. Alejandro laughs evilly at Owen, popping all his balloons at once. When Owen falls in his dream after the balloons are all popped, he wakes up and notices that he and the other contestants have been dropped out of the plane.

StalkerliciousKiss

Sierra moves in to finally claim a kiss from Cody, due to a promise he made.

Owen screams and wakes up the others. While falling, two swan pedal boats are also falling with them. The contestants cling onto the boats as they fall and land in the water, prompting Sierra to question her mother's crush on Chris, as Owen shouts "Water!" which annoys Courtney, but then they all realize they are heading towards a massive waterfall. While praying to live, Courtney says she will promise to tutor any stupid person, even Duncan, which made him promise to forget what she said. Cody says that if they survive the ordeal, he will let Sierra kiss him. Everyone stares at him in shock and he tells them they are all going to die anyway. Upon hearing this, Sierra becomes determined to get her kiss. She ties Owen to a rope, uses her monstrous strength to throw him into the other boat as an anchor, before furiously paddling both boats to safety. Sierra then kisses Cody as her reward, prompting a horrified Cody to brush his teeth rapidly and throw up in the confessional.

On shore, Chris reveals their location by telling the contestants that Niagara Falls is awesome, explaining that it is the jewel in Canada's crown and one of the top ten natural wonders in the world, also known for its fabulous casino, the place where they will head for the next part of the challenge, only to find themselves in the concert theater because all of them are under age. Owen wonders if anyone will perform there, and Chris confirms it, saying that a second-chance challenge was held in the last Aftermath show, where one of the losers, who will perform a number, earned their spot back in the game. Both Duncan and Cody want it to be Gwen, annoying Courtney and Sierra. However, it is revealed that the one performing in the musical number is Blaineley, whom most of the contestants don't really know about. Blaineley sings "Blainerific," where she brags about herself.

Linee1

Blaineley debuts on the show by singing "Blainerific."

When Blaineley asks which "lame" team she is on, Chris announces that she is on her own because, as of now, the teams are disbanded. While Courtney and Heather cheer on the news, the guys agree to be close, even though they aren't teammates anymore. Chris then announces that, since they are in the honeymoon capital of the world, they will be in pairs for an "arranged marriages." The boys are placed in a giant casino machine, while the girls will pull the lever to see who will be their husband to team up for today's challenge and for Chris' own amusement, adding a bear in the slot machine, too. Sierra pulls first and gets Alejandro, but Sierra shuts the door, smashing his arm, begging Chris not to have him. Heather takes him instead, greatly upsetting Courtney.

TDWT Courtney
Courtney
Eliminate Duncan from game is now number two on my to-do list. Welcome to number one, Heather!

Blaineley then pulls the lever and gets Owen, whom she is fine with because he is the audience favorite. This shocks Owen, as Blaineley explains that nothing is more critical on television than one's likeablity index, claiming she has studied the other contestants', too. Blaineley then sees Owen's face and asks about it, to which Owen responds that he thinks he washed it yesterday, causing Blaineley to suggest that he needs some makeup on his cheeks, requesting the producers' assistance — as she would during her hosting shows — but ultimately being ignored.

TDWT Blaineley
Blaineley
What kind of T.V. show doesn't have makeup department? This cast needs to get some gumption and some agents.

Courtney once again prays, asking that she does not get paired with Duncan, which happens when she is paired with a bear, by whom she ends up getting mauled. Then pulls again and gets Duncan, who tries to escape, leaving both of them unhappy. Sierra is then left with Cody, much to his dismay.

In the first part of the challenge, the grooms must guide their blindfolded brides to a wedding dress while avoiding several obstacles in the first part of the competition, and if they don't get a dress, they can't move on to the next challenge. Duncan messes with Courtney during the challenge, giving her false directions and making her fall on a pudding-filled pool.

TDWT Duncan
Duncan
I need immunity, especially around Alejandro, but sticking it to Courtney just feels so right! And that can't be wrong.

While Alejandro and Heather bicker before Heather succeeds in getting to the dress first, Cody makes Sierra fall off the stage on purpose because he doesn't like being Sierra's groom. Then, as Duncan guides Courtney, she refuses to obey his orders because she doesn't trust him, causing her to fall into yet another pool of pudding, distracting Owen, who is craving pudding. Blaineley asks Owen for instructions, but a puzzled Owen sends her in the wrong direction, causing her to crash into a massive wedding cake, which irritates her. When Owen tries to console her by saying that it's just cake, Blaineley says she gained five pounds by just touching it. However, Owen comments on how tasty it looks, prompting Blaineley to taste the cake, which she loves, despite the fact that she hasn't eaten sugar in years. Blaineley describes the cake as a vanilla-flavored paradise with a hint of lemon, which she later eats from a plate in the confessional.

Alejandro, fed up with Duncan's decision to mess with Courtney, leads her to her dress with ease, annoying Duncan, whom Alejandro reminds to be strategic rather than emotional. Courtney to exclaim that she is thankful there is at least one gentleman there.

TDWT Heather
Heather
I don't know what kind of weddings Alejandro has been to, but each groom gets one bride. One!

When Chris announces that the challenge is over, Sierra literally runs through the obstacles and somehow gets the last dress to everyone's shock and bewilderment.

TDWT Cody
Cody
What? How?! Does she have some kind of creepy wedding-dress radar implanted in her?

For the second part of the challenge, Chris explains that the grooms must hold their brides on a tightrope as they walk through Niagara Falls — which is packed with hungry sharks below because Chris thought they weren't quite unpleasant enough — and then they must successfully clear customs, saying that the first pair to do so wins invincibility and first class. The thought of sharks scares Courtney and Owen, the latter of whom claims he is a shark buffet. Since Alejandro and Heather were the first couple to get a dress, they get a head start. Before they start, Alejandro tells Duncan that Owen's popularity makes him a threat to them, and they make a deal: if Duncan votes off Owen, Alejandro will vote with him next, even if it's Courtney — to which Duncan apparently agrees.

TDWT Duncan
Duncan
So I let him think I was going along with it. Nobody tells me what to do.

When the challenge starts, Alejandro charms Heather by picking her up as he reminds her about their head-start advantage, annoying Courtney in the process.

TDWT Courtney
Courtney
Okay, so eliminating Heather is now number, one, two, three and five of my top five goals. Ripping out Duncan's eyebrow ring is number four.

Sierra and Cody are up next. Cody worriedly stands on the edge, staring intently at the rocks below. Sierra thinks he looks sick and asks to carry him instead, which he is about to decline until she carries him and runs through the rope, while she attempts to persuade Cody to say "I do" by asking him a series of questions, such as whether he likes her idea of buying him a convertible as a wedding present, to which he responds "Sure" and reminds her that the wedding theme is just for the game. She then asks him if he wants to phrase that, with a two-word phrase that begins with "I."

TDWT Sierra
Sierra
Here is something Cody doesn't know. I became an ordained minister on the internet! I can marry Cody for real, yeah. I'll recite the ceremony really fast, and all he has to do is say 'I do.'

Meanwhile, Owen carries Blaineley. Annoyed, Blaineley tells him to hurry up because the other contestants are getting away, just as she lets out a fart, amazing Owen in the process. When Owen tries to describe the sound of her fart, Blaineley asks the editor of the show to cut that out, and although Owen consoles her by telling her it is fine to let it out, Blaineley is still unsure. To prove it, Owen lets out a loud fart, which he proudly calls "The Thundercracker."

In the front, Heather and Alejandro are arguing over who will be eliminated. Heather says she wants to vote Courtney out, warning Alejandro not to underestimate her, because she is smart and annoys her; however, Alejandro refuses because he feels he has control over her, suggesting that they vote Owen out. As they bicker, Alejandro "accidentally" loses his balance, sending him and Heather to fall into Niagara Falls.

TDWT Alejandro
Alejandro
[laughing] Of course I fell on purpose. I am a gifted balancer, but it would be unwise to appear too strong right now, with the teams just dissolved. I don't require immunity, thanks to my alliances with Heather, Owen, and Duncan, so I lay and wait like a crocodilo [sic]. A devilishly handsome crocodilo [sic].

When Cody and Sierra reach customs, having to answer Chef's questions for the trivia part of the challenge, Sierra keeps trying to get Cody to say "I do." Chef claims that Sierra failed to declare her "crazy" status, having to go back, which cost them the challenge. The two then run into Owen and Blaineley on the tightrope. As neither of them wish to move back, they all end up falling into the water after Sierra kicks Owen in the knee and pulls Blaineley's hair extensions for upsetting Cody.

71-10

Duncan and Courtney cross "customs" and win the challenge.

At customs, Courtney and Duncan angrily cross the tightrope without any difficulty and answer all the questions correctly, but end up fighting about how they can't stand each other. Chef asks the two if they have anything to declare. Duncan says that his "wifey" needs some mouthwash, and Courtney says that Duncan's piercings only distract people from his lack of personality. Duncan throws Courtney off of him, and Chris then announces that they won invincibility. The losing couples are seen swimming for their lives in order to get away from the sharks, using Owen as a raft.

TDWT Sierra
Sierra
I've been waiting two seasons for this day. And now, it's ruined! I had something old: Chris! Something new: my wedding dress. And something borrowed: Cody's toothbrush. And now I've got something blue: me! Why couldn't he just say it, huh? Do you, Cody, take Sierra to be your wife forever and ever and ever?!

Cody and Alejandro are seen outside, with the former desperately needing to use the bathroom. When Sierra exits and asks Cody if he needs to go, Cody replies with "I do." Sierra, after catching that, thinks they are legally married and declares to Cody that she doesn't believe in divorce. Cody protests that it wasn't real, but isn't so certain himself. Alejandro then congratulates them since he's technically the witness, and asks for a favor in return which Sierra agrees to do. All she has to do is vote for Owen.

OwenEliminated

Owen is eliminated.

When the votes are counted, the votes go: two for Heather, two for Sierra, and four for Owen, meaning he's eliminated. Blaineley is genuinely sad for Owen, but fake-cries in an attempt to gain favor with the audience. While he is trying to exit the plane, Owen gets stuck in the exit and Alejandro kicks him out of the plane, only to get farted in the face by him. Chris then signs off the episode.

  • The green boat that the sharks are seen in is the same one that Chris was seen riding in "Newf Kids on the Rock."
  • With Owen's elimination, Duncan is the only contestant left in the season that was previously a finalist.

    • What is the national animal of Canada?
      • Answer: Beavers
  • Every marriage couple is eliminated back to back if Blaineley is considered to be eliminated before Courtney: Owen then Blaineley, Courtney then Duncan, Sierra then Cody, then Alejandro and Heather were in the finale.
  • It is debatable whether Duncan voted for Owen or not as in the confessional, as he says that he is only playing along.
  • None of the couples in this episode are official:
    • Duncan and Courtney broke up several episodes ago, as Duncan left her for Gwen.
    • Alejandro and Heather will not become a couple until "The Final Wreck-ening" (All-Stars).
    • Cody and Sierra are not dating, although this is not the case for Sierra.
    • Blaineley and Owen are not a couple as they only met that episode.
  • This is the only non-Aftermath episode in Total Drama World Tour that doesn't feature the musical chime to start a song.
  • Blaineley is the only one to get her husband normally. Heather takes Alejandro from Sierra who rejected him, Courtney gets the bear first, then Duncan, and Sierra gets Cody by default after rejecting Alejandro.
  • Sierra is the only bride without a tiara and the only one to wear a wedding dress with her umbilicus exposed.
  • Chris mentions that the contestants are still underage as of this season. This indicates that they are either still sixteen or are seventeen years old as of this season.

Continuity

  • This is the third episode of Total Drama World Tour to take place in Canada.
  • In the two times someone debuts in the game, Owen gets eliminated in the same episode this happens.
  • This is the first time since "Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special" that Chris has worn his Awards Ceremony outfit.
  • This is the first episode that both Chris and Blaineley actually sing in a song.
  • This is the second time in the series a contestant not qualified for a season makes their debut in the middle of the competition.
  • This episode marks the third time Duncan and Owen have made it to the merge, making them the only contestants to make it to the merge in all of the first three seasons.
  • This is the first, and only, time in the series where Duncan wins invincibility post-merge.
  • This episode marks the first time Blaineley uses the confessional.

References

  • The title is a reference to the place Niagara Falls, where it even takes place in.
  • Chris refers to Sierra as a "bridezilla," which is a reference to the reality TV show Bridezillas.
  • Blaineley's statement that Owen is the audience's favourite references the fact that Owen is the staff's favourite character.
  • Chris saying "Owen, the gang has spoken" is a reference to one of Jeff Probst's catchphrases on Survivor, "The tribe has spoken."
  • The episode's blindfold challenge could be a reference to a very similar challenge commonly seen in Survivor.
  • The tightrope challenge refers to the fact that many daredevils have tried to walk over the falls on a tightrope, as well as go over the falls in a barrel.
  • Niagara Falls is a popular border crossing, which explains Chef posing as a customs agent.

Goofs

  • Ezekiel had a hole on his hoodie jacket on the right side of his stomach and another on his jeans under his left knee. The holes were originally on his right shoulder and on his right knee respectively.
    • Also, the hole on his stomach shows his skin, meaning he doesn't wear a shirt underneath, but he does, as it is seen through the neck of his hoodie jacket.
      • However, the shirt may have been cut as well.
  • While the contestants are shown sleeping, Heather's ponytail is standing straight up.
  • Courtney and Sierra are not in their wedding dresses when they are in the confessional.
  • When the contestants are falling out of the plane, Duncan is not seen, but after the swans fall, he is seen grabbing one.
    • Though, he may have been falling off-screen.
  • Cody has no tooth-gap in the confessional when he both gargles a glass of water several times, and barfs.
  • When Cody is in a chair while Blaineley is yelling at him, he had a right hand for his left hand.
  • Blaineley's bracelets disappear twice in the episode:
    • After yelling at Cody, her right bracelet disappears and reappears moments later.
    • While Owen is guiding Blaineley to her wedding dress, her bracelets are missing. After she walks into the cake, they are back on her wrists.
  • When Chef introduces the casino machine, the machine shows the faces of Owen, Alejandro, and Cody, but in the next scene the machine shows the faces of the bear, Owen, and Cody.
  • Blaineley's eyes are looking in different directions when Heather says "What's the bear for?"
  • When the wedding dresses were shown, they were facing towards the girls, but when Courtney reaches her dress, it was facing away from her.
  • Owen's eyes briefly change to gray, rather than their usual black color, twice while he is describing Blaineley's fart.
  • Sierra's garter changes sides. When she and Cody are at "customs" and when they are walking back to the start, it's on the side facing the camera, even though she was facing first one direction and then the other.
  • When the contestants cross over to customs, they are apparently crossing from the Canadian side of the falls to the American side, as evident by the respective flags placed at the starting and finishing lines of the course. However, when Duncan and Courtney arrive at the other side, Chef starts asking them questions about Canada, not the United States.
  • When the contestants are first seen at the Barf Bag Ceremony, Courtney is missing her right arm.
  • The Australian Broadcasting Company (ABC3) misspelled Niagara as "Niagra" in the title.
  • When Sierra kisses Cody for accidentally saying "I do," her arm bands disappear for the rest of the scene.
  • When Alejandro is in the confessional comparing himself to a crocodile, he mispronounces the word in Spanish, making it sound similar to how it is spelled in English when he says crocodilo instead of cocodrilo.
  • When Blaineley approaches Owen after selecting him as her husband, the straps on her shoes are missing.
    • This happens again when he is leading her to her wedding dress.
