Picnic at Hanging Dork is the sixteenth episode of Total Drama World Tour, and the sixty-eighth overall episode of the series.

Plot

The 2 teams fly to Australia to use an emu to travel to Hanging Rock, then they bungee jump to grab a sheep and shear it. Courtney continues her "losing on purpose" to eliminate Gwen.

Why It’s A Massive Dork (In A Bad Way) and Should Get Knocked Out By A Kangaroo

  1. It's yet another episode of the Dark Age of Total Drama World Tour next to "Greece's Pieces" and "The EX-Files".
  2. Courtney is very unlikable in this episode for constantly losing on purpose to eliminate Gwen.
  3. There is a gross-out moment where an emu barfs while Alejandro and Courtney are flirting.
  4. The song "Shear the Sheep" has somewhat bad, stupid, and corny lyrics.
  5. Courtney says she's a good babysitter, which makes no sense whatsoever.
  6. Slight plot hole: Alejandro says that Heather never flirts with a contestant as strategy, but she did with Trent in Search & Do Not Destroy and Duncan in Are We There Yeti?. However, he didn't compete when it happened and maybe he didn't watch the series before.
  7. Terrible and frustrating ending: Gwen gets eliminated instead of Courtney. The fact that the former's eucalyptus allergy wasn't foreshadowed at all, along with the episode constantly making it look like the former would be eliminated for her antics, give off the impression that the idea to eliminate Gwen was a last-minute one.
    • Chris is unlikable for giving Gwen eucalyptus, knowing she's allergic to it, causing her to be eliminated for losing the tiebreaker.
    • Duncan is unlikable for throwing a dingo at Cody, and if he hadn't, Cody wouldn't have gotten dizzy and would have properly voted Courtney off.
    • Cody is unlikable at the slightest for bumping into Duncan while the latter tries to ride the emu, which caused Duncan to retaliate. To be fair, he pretty much deserved it for cheating on Courtney.

Redeeming Qualities

  1. Half-good ending: This is the first episode for Team Amazon to finally lose a member (albeit it's not Courtney, frustratingly), because this is the sixteenth episode.
  2. "Shear the Sheep", despite being a ridiculous song, can be funny to some viewers.
  3. The other characters are likeable and Heather was likable for teaming with Gwen and Cody against Courtney.
    • It’s also easy to feel bad for Gwen after the events of this episode.
  4. Duncan getting knocked out by a kangaroo is very satisfying and funny at the same time.

Trivia

  1. As of this episode, the season has visited every inhabited continent.
  2. This is the first episode to visit Oceania.
