Recap / Total Drama: "Walk Like an Egyptian - Part 2"

Go To

A continuation of the first episode. The teams are formed, the challenge is completed, and Team Victory must be the first team to eliminate a member.

Tropes:

  • Actually Pretty Funny: When Heather makes a joke mocking Cody after he attempts to flirt with Gwen, Gwen is clearly trying to keep herself from laughing.
  • Actually Quite Catchy: After he disqualified himself from the competition because he refused to participate in any further musical numbers, Duncan is back in the plane, humming "Come Fly With Us". When Chris catches him doing so, he denies it.
  • Blatant Lies: Alejandro says that he has no problem being called "Al" by Owen, though his shivering says otherwise.
  • Blowing a Raspberry: For the early portion of the challenge, Team Amazon has a big advantage with the camel they won. While riding it, Heather looks back at Team CIRRRRH on their goat and taunts them with the announcement that her team is going to win. She ends the taunt by blowing a raspberry. Later, she blows a second raspberry at Team CIRRRRH's leader, Alejandro, when she successfully arranges for Sierra and Izzy to switch teams, leaving Team CIRRRRH without a much-needed weaver.
  • Card-Carrying Villain: Alejandro:
    Alejandro: Because compared to me, Heather's a saint!
  • The Cloud Cuckoo Lander Was Right: Only when Izzy speaks to it, does the camel actually move onto the raft Team Amazon built.
  • Deadpan Snarker: This exchange between Heather and Izzy when team Amazon get lost (deadpan for Izzy):
    Heather: Does anyone know where we are?
    Izzy: Planet Earth, silly!
  • Description Cut: When Chris ask Lindsay if she knows what to do for the elimination choices this season (likely since she voted herself off last season), she says yes, only for the audience to see her stamping on everyone's passport in the confessional.
  • Dominance Through Furniture: Chris dresses like a pharaoh and starts treating his interns as slaves, with one of his demands being that one of them bends down and acts as a throne for him to sit on. The chosen intern is later attacked by flesh-eating scarabs, prompting Chris to repurpose the skeleton as a footrest.
  • Eye Am Watching You: Chris comes running when he hears Duncan sing, but Duncan insists he was hearing things and that Chris'll never get him to sing. Chris performs the eye-to-eye gesture to indicate he knows Duncan is lying.
  • History Repeats: Once again, Ezekiel is the first person voted off. But it won't be the last time we'll see him this season.
  • Human Resources: Chris uses an intern's skeleton (one that was Eaten Alive by scarab beetles) as a footrest.
  • Hypocritical Humour: Sierra doesn't fall for Alejandro's charms questioning why all the other girls are, and what they see in him. What makes it hypocritical is the fact that she says "they're loco".
  • I'm Cold... So Cold...: Alejandro experiences being called "Al" by Owen as an intense chill. The nickname has traumatic associations to him.
  • It Runs in the Family: Sierra proves that she's a basket weaver like her ancestors.
  • The Load: Unlike the last time he played, Ezekiel shows himself to be this to Team Victory, losing their stick to the Nile Crocodiles, and costing them the challenge.
  • Oh, Crap!: Ezekiel gets four of these in this episode alone.
    • First is when he realizes he ruined the "Lovin' Time" musical number and gets covered in scarabs.
    • The second is when he accidentally accidentally feeds his team's stick to a crocodile.
    • The third is when Chris announces that his team needed the stick in order to avoid the elimination ceremony.
    • The fourth and biggest one is during the elimination ceremony when he realizes he's about to be the first person voted off again.
  • Screams Like a Little Girl: Tyler does this when the scarabs make their way towards the contestants.
  • Shout-Out:
    • The episode's depiction of flesh-eating scarab beetles comes from The Mummy Trilogy.
    • "Lovin' Time" is based on "Let's Get It On" by Marvin Gaye.
    • The second challenge ("The Amazing Camel Race") is a nod to The Amazing Race.
  • Speaks Fluent Animal: Izzy claims to speak "Camel-ese", which supposedly gets the camel to the Nile River.
  • Titled After the Song: The title is the same as a song by The Bangles.
  • Toilet Humour: Cody is forced to hold onto the camel's rump, and is covered in poop later in the episode.
