HOW TO WIN TOTAL DRAMA:

1. Never EVER, EVER, EEEEEEEEVVVVVVVVVVVEEEEEEEERRRRRRRRRRRR trust what Mclean says.

2. Don't be a dick. Just don't.

3. If you are being attacked by a bear, do not run, its probably Izzy.

3.5. In the rare case that it is an actual bear...well...ask Cody how well that turned out.

4. Do not sing.

4.5. If you are in World Tour, ignore the above.

5. If you get into a relationship...get out of right away! It will always end with one of you being eliminated, most likely you.

5.5. But don't be a jackass when you end it, that ensures your doom

6. If you are good for ratings, Chris will bend the rules so you can stay around. So be a fan fave. Do not be a Leonard that nobody likes. Be a Noah that the fans love.

6.1. This works better if your a funny fat guy, a villain, or are a nerd.

6.2. Although it will get you eliminated, kissing a same-sex person on the ear will make you an instant fan fave.

12.5. However; if you are on a "Team Amazon", kick back and relax (at least until a love triangle shows up.)

13. If you don't say enough, say goodbye.

13.5. Same for if you talk too much.

14. Do not be named "Ezekiel"

15. If somebody says "its nothing". then its definitely something.

16. Beware of Eels.

17. The first thing you should do is look for the idol.

17.5. Bonus points for making a fake idol for some other sucker to find.

18. If you see a goth, chances are they are an artistic goth who is actually very friendly (Gwen).

18.5. In the case that its an actual goth (Ennui and Crimson), stay far away from them and their little bunny of death.

19. Do not bad mouth the host, it will come back to bite you.

20. If you are a busty blonde, do not even bother coming, you wont win

20.1. Same goes for if your are handsome but not smart.

20.2 Also if you like the number 9.

29.5. If you are a first timer, ignore the above.

30. As threatening as he seems, Justin is harmless if you don't flounder to his looks

30.5. If you have no brain...well...you were doomed anyway...

31. If an evil contestant is warning you that there is a much bigger evil...its 50/50 on whether or not they are telling the truth.

32. If they say "Do not take anything", DO NOT TAKE ANYTHING!

33. Do not be annoying, unless you want to be the first to go.

34. Beware of people who will eavesdrop on you in the confessional.

35. Do not brag about your job, nobody cares.

36. You may start to suffer Flanderization, if you are around for long enough, whether it is good or bad will vary.

36.5. Side Effects include (but not limited to): Becoming stupider, becoming more one-note, losing positive traits, and a rash.

43. Do not touch any green substance. Unless you want to become a monster.

44. For your own personal safety, stay out of the woods unless absolutely necessary.

45. If Sierra has taught us anything, you can make a laptop out of a pizza box and a rat. With your Macguyver Laptop, use it to go on the Internet and watch episodes of the season your on right now to find the biggest threats to your victory.

45.5. If you are caught doing this, say goodbye.

46. If you are on World Tour, Yes; this plane IS a death trap

47. For the more villainous prospector, stop being evil right now. Unless there is another villain that you have a "complicated" relationship with, you will get your just desserts and lose.

47.5. However...stealing everybody's stuff, then blaming somebody else, is a surprisingly effective way to get somebody you don't like off.

48. Before you come onto the show, RE-WATCH PAST SEASONS! You would be surprised how many people fall for the same tricks over and over again..

49. If you have two black dots for eyes, you are doomed

49.1. Same goes if you wear a cowboy hat...

49.2. Also goes if you have unusual colored hair...

49.3. And if you like animals...

49.4. And especially if you are the last M/F on your team

49.5. If you were the only M/F on your team to begin with, ignore the above

51. If your gonna make out with somebody in the bathroom, make sure the door is locked.

51.1. If you paid attention to Tip #5, you should know that you should not even be doing this in the first place.

51.2. But if you must, be warned that Chris tends to have fake locks that you THINK work..but don't.

52. Taping yourself to a tree will NOT make you stay awake.

53. If an evil contestant takes over the show and demands the money or else they will kill everybody, just charge straight at them. When do these kinda of plans ever go well for the villain?

54. No matter how many times you get mauled, food sickness, or beaten up; you will not die (Unless you are an intern, they you die from being hit in the stomach with a feather.)

55. If you are eliminated and are on the aftermath with a chance to come back, do not let the host get impatient and answer for you. You will lose your one chance to come back

56. If you are informed that a mad killer is coming after you and the other contestants, you should all stay in a group and form a back-to-back circle so he cant sneak up behind anyone.

56.5. The above tip also applies if you are in a horror movie

57. Beware...The day Team E-Scope reunites will be the most important day of your life. But for them...it will be Tuesday.

58. The Idol on Boney Island is a lie

59. Do NOT go on a season if it's name is "All-Star"

59.5. Alternatively, if it's named "Island" "World Tour" or "Ridonculous Race", get your ass signed up. You will have the time of your life.
