Total Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race (also known as Total Drama: Ridonculous Race, or simply The Ridonculous Race) is a Canadian animated reality television series which lampoons the conventions commonly found in reality television. The show is a spin-off of the original Total Drama series created in 2007 as well as the second series created as part of the overall franchise. The series is created by Fresh TV Inc. and distributed by Cake Entertainment and airs on Cartoon Network in North America. The series premiered first in the United States on September 7, 2015, and then began airing in Canada on January 4, 2016. It also aired on ABC3 in Australia, starting December 12, 2015. Like the original series, this series consists of 26 episodes per season.
The series parodies popular travel and competition style reality shows, including The Amazing Race. It takes place around the world and features pairs of contestants, rather than teams, in the style of the reality series it is parodying.
The first season of The Ridonculous Race consists of mostly all new characters, with four characters - Leonard from Pahkitew Island with Geoff, Noah and Owen from Total Drama Island - returning from the original Total Drama series. All characters will be split into 18 teams of two, and must complete challenges around the world to win and split a one million Canadian dollar prize.
Racers visit a different country in every episode and perform in "legs" while the team to finish in last place may or may not be eliminated. In each of the 26 different locations, each pair must go to a "Don box" to receive clues that let them decide which challenge they want to perform in.
Challenges are of four different types: an "either-or" (similar to Detours from The Amazing Race), a "botch-or-watch" (similar to Roadblocks), an "all-in" or a "superteam'. An "either-or" gives the teams a choice from two challenges, the "botch-or-watch" is a challenge that must be done by one person on the team, specifically the person who did not take on a prior challenge's component, an "all-in" is a challenge that both team members must take part in, and a "super team" is a challenge in which multiple teams complete together in a challenge.
