It first premiered on Canada on July 8 , 2007 and June 5 , 2008 on the United States . This season takes place at Camp Wawanakwa , a fictional island located somewhere in Muskoka , Ontario where the season is based on a summer camp theme ( although a contestant is eliminated at the end of every episode ) . Like the whole series , this season is a competition to see which of the twenty - two contestants will survive and last the longest . This is because the contestants are brutally tortured along the way through the intense challenges they are given . Challenges are sometimes based on other reality shows like Fear Factor and Survivor . All of this is so that the winner of the season ( the one to last the longest on the island and not get eliminated ) , will win a small fortune of C $ 100,000 and cheesy fame . Eliminated contestants are sent packing toward the Dock of Shame and must ride the Boat of Losers off the island . </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Th> </Th> <Td> `` Total Drama Action '' </Td> <Td> 27 </Td> <Td> Todd Kauffman / Mark Thornton </Td> <Td> 15 </Td> <Td> January 11 , 2009 ( 2009 - 01 - 11 ) </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td colspan="6"> Total Drama Action is the second season of the series .
