History Fanfic / TotalDramaWorldTourDeluxe

* AdaptationalBadass: Team Victory is shown as more successful here, winning more elimination challenges than canon and outlasting some players from the other two teams. While they still dissolve in London (albeit due to being reduced to two players rather than losing all their members) and none of them merge, it's still a step up from canon where everyone from the team was eliminated before the second Aftermath.
* AdaptationalVillainy: Sierra is portrayed much more antagonistic due to her StalkerWithACrush attitude towards Cody, with her outright being called a rapist and her obsession with Cody bordering on EntitledToHaveYou. She is also much more vocal over her dislike towards Gwen, to the point she steals her diary and writes a childish insulting entry about Gwen in it, even saying she wants Gwen to commit suicide, complete with picture.
* AdaptationalWimp: Team Amazon isn't nearly as successful here as they were in canon, being reduced to just their canon members by the second Aftermath.
* AdaptedOut: The singing parts of ''World Tour'' are completely removed.

* NotSoDifferentRemark: Duncan remarks that he understands what it is like to be tormented by a girl and have no one take you seriously about it, which is why he is so supportive of Cody's problems with Sierra stalking him, and eventually [[spoiler:helps him vote her out]].

** Cody and Duncan are shown to get along better than the canon season 3, with Duncan even giving Cody advice in France on how to deal with Sierra's excessive stalking. When it is revealed to everyone how Duncan and Gwen kissed, Cody is disappointed, but not angry at Duncan like he was in canon, and ''doesn't'' knock him out over it. Their friendship is strained though when [[spoiler:Duncan blames Cody for Gwen's elimination]].

* SadisticChoice: Duncan is faced with one at the end of "Chinese Fake Out". Either he votes off Sierra, who he promised to vote out with Cody but leave Alejandro, who is a far more dangerous player, in the game, or he votes out Alejandro, which would remove a major threat from the game, but also make Cody and Gwen mad at him for not sticking with his promise. In the end, he chooses to get rid of Sierra.

* ForWantOfANail:
** As the singing has been AdaptedOut, there's no reason for Duncan to quit and he instead remains in the game the full length of the season.
** [[spoiler:With some pushing from Trent, Duncan breaks up with Courtney instead of cheating on her with Gwen. However, Courtney just thinks he's angry about being captured by Owen and dismisses it.]]
** Due to Duncan and Cody having a much more civil relationship, the former gives the latter the idea to throw the first part of the challenge in Niagara Falls, preventing Sierra from tricking him into marriage.

* UnexplainedRecovery: [[spoiler:Justin]] is medically evacuated in Jamaica, but when they appear on the Aftermath in the very next chapter, they are perfectly fine. This is even stranger when [[spoiler:Leshawna]], who was hurt ''before'' [[spoiler:Justin]], is still in their wheelchair during the same Aftermath.

* YouHaveOutlivedYourUsefulness: Combined with KickTheDog; [[spoiler:after Courtney's elimination, Alejandro states he is "breaking up with her", since she is now eliminated and of no more use to him, confirming to her that he was only using her and that she was so vulnerable she made it too easy for him]].

* ExpositoryHairstyleChange: Lindsay ends up dying her hair brown and, while it mainly serves the purpose of hiding who she while in Paris, it also symbolizes her turning out to be much smarter without the crayon in her brain.

* BullyingADragon: As opposed to tackling and punching Heather several times during the final part of the Switzerland challenge, Leshawna ends up doing this to [[TheDreaded Eva]]. It goes as well as you’d expect.

** Heather does this to everyone for cheering when Duncan knocks her off oh her platform in Switzerland.

** Owen and Tyler are also booted earlier than canon.

** [[spoiler:With some pushing from Trent, Duncan breaks up with Courtney instead of cheating on her with Gwen. However, Courtney just thinks he's angry about being captured by Owen and dismisses it as him being angry.]]

** In the third aftermath, Ezekiel reveals he had a nightmare where he sneaked back onto the plane in hopes of winning game, only to go insane because of it, which was his canon fate.

* BaitAndSwitch: During the third aftermath, after Josh and Blaineley show Owen a video of just how much Alejandro hates him and got Izzy to dump him, it seems like it's building up to Owen having a freak out like Lindsay did at Heather during ''Island''. Instead, Owen actually ''thanks'' him, because he had actually been wanting to break up with Izzy for a while, but never got the nerve to do so, so Alejandro basically did the dirty work for him.

* ForWantOfANail: [[spoiler:With some pushing from Trent, Duncan breaks up with Courtney instead of cheating on her with Gwen. However, Courtney just thinks he's angry about being captured by Owen and dismisses it as him being angry.]]

** Harold, Bridgette, Leshawna, Izzy, and Gwen are still eliminated in the episodes they were in canon (albeit in Izzy's case, she's voted out here rather than having to leave due to injury, and in Gwen's she quits instead of losing a tiebreaker).
