Confession Cam

The Confession Cam is where the Total Drama cast and crew can reveal their personal thoughts. They can open up about how they are feeling, vent frustrations over something that is bothering them, and just about anything else that comes to mind. For the most part these sessions are kept in complete secrecy, only being revealed upon the airing of the show or at Chris McLean's discretion.

Riker Hall Confession Cam

During Total Drama Academy, the confession cam is placed in a closet room in the Riker Hall living space, which has since been dubbed Casa Loma. While Gwen was placed in charge of decorating the living space for winning the first challenge, Chris allowed everyone to decorate the confession cam to their heart's content whenever they wished. There are currently twenty-eight decorations to date.

Outhouse Confessional

The Outhouse Confessional on Camp Wawanakwa

During Total Drama Island and Return to Total Drama Island, the confession cam takes on the appearance of an old fashioned outhouse. On the side facing the campers is a camera taped to the wall, where the campers dish their personal feelings. Also inside the bathroom are typical outhouse sights - a toilet, toilet paper, a window, several carvings in the wooden walls, and a roll of fly paper with several dead flies stuck to it. Despite these amenities, however, the confession cam doesn't seem to be the campers main lavatory, as there are bathroom stalls in the communal bathrooms. Still, some campers have used the confession cam as an outhouse at times, but mostly by accident on Lindsay's part. It's clear that the outhouse is not a hygienic place, as during most confessions, a large swarm of flies are constantly buzzing around the campers' heads and chest.

Aside from speaking their mind, campers also go in the stall to cast their votes. It's unclear if all that is needed to cast a vote is the camper saying their name into the camera or if a written ballot is also needed, as Harold is seen rigging paper ballots in the Total Drama Island episode Basic Straining; whereas in the Total Drama Island episode No Pain, No Game, Chris only shows their vocal votes.

Trivia
