Plot
editRacers, divided into teams of two, visit a different country or location in every episode and perform in "legs". Teams must race to the "Chill Zone", the finish line for each leg taking on the form of a gold "Carpet of Completion". The first team to arrive there have the advantage of starting early, while the team finishing last may face elimination. In each of the 26 episodes, each team is required to press a button on any "Don-box" they meet to receive clues that let them decide which challenge they will have to complete.
Each challenge contains a task that teams must complete to advance throughout the leg. Challenges come in four different types: "All-In", which has both members of each team complete a task together; "Botch-or-Watch", which requires one member of each team, usually the team member who did not take on a prior challenge's component, to perform a task; "Either-or", in which teams are given a choice between two different tasks that have to be completed in the same manner as an "All-In"; and "Superteam", in which multiple teams complete together as a team to finish a task.
Characters and cast
editTotal Drama Presents: The Ridonculous Race has 32 brand new contestants and four contestants from the original Total Drama series. Unlike the original series, contestants compete in teams of two throughout the season, resulting in a total of 18 teams.

Key
editEach column shows the results of the leg of the race from that episode of the series.
- A red team placement indicates the team was eliminated.
- A brown team placement indicates the team withdrew from the race.
- An underlined blue team placement indicates the team came in last on a non-elimination leg.
- A brown ⊃ or a cyan ⋑ indicates that the team found a Boomerang and could choose a team to repeat the previous task, while a ⊂ or ⋐ indicates the team who received it.
- Matching coloured symbols (pink + and teal ^) indicate teams who worked together during the leg as a result of a Superteam twist.
- Notes
- ^ Noah & Owen initially arrived 11th, but were issued a 20-minute penalty for failing to ride their cheese wheel down the river and roll it to the Chill Zone as instructed, since Owen had consumed the whole cheese. Five teams checked in during their penalty time, dropping them to 16th.
- ^ Dwayne & Junior initially arrived 1st, but were issued a 20-minute penalty as Dwayne read the Travel-Tip before reuniting with Junior during the Botch-or-Watch. Three teams (excluding Tom & Jen) checked in during their penalty time, dropping them to 4th.
- ^ Tom & Jen initially arrived 2nd, but were issued a 20-minute penalty for arriving at Calanque de Maubois by yacht instead of train as instructed. Two teams checked in during their penalty time, dropping them to 5th (after Dwayne & Junior).
- ^ Kelly & Taylor initially arrived 7th, but were issued a one-hour penalty as Taylor did not follow Kelly back through the geyser field after incorrectly repeating the Icelandic phrase during the All-In, when she was instructed to do so. Six teams checked in during their penalty time, dropping them to 13th.
- ^ Laurie & Miles initially arrived 1st, but were issued a 30-minute penalty as Miles made both components of the Brazilian carnival costume during the All-In, when she and Laurie were instructed to make one each. All other teams checked in during their penalty time, dropping them to last and resulting in their elimination.
- ^ Crimson & Ennui initially arrived 6th, but were issued a 10-minute penalty for switching positions during the All-In. Six teams checked in during their penalty time, dropping them to 12th.
- ^ Leg 14 was a double-elimination leg, where the last two teams to reach the Chill Zone were eliminated.
- ^ Jacques & Josee initially arrived 1st, but were issued a 10-minute penalty as they arrived at the Chill Zone on foot, when they were instructed to ride burros there. MacArthur & Sanders checked in during this time, dropping them to 2nd.
- ^ Jacques & Josee initially arrived 1st, but were issued a 30-minute penalty for failing to collect a ball from the bottom of the borehole as instructed, since they had instead stolen the ball from Emma & Kitty while suspended on the way down. This did not affect their final placement.
- ^ Jacques & Josee initially arrived 1st, but were issued a one-hour penalty for disconnecting the trailing carriages of the train that transported them to the Chill Zone. Three teams checked in during this time, dropping them to 4th.
- ^ In Leg 24, Carrie & Devin checked in the Chill Zone in 3rd place and were declared safe. While they celebrated, trailing team Emma & Kitty accidentally knocked Devin off the cliff where the Chill Zone was located after losing control of their emu from the Botch-or-Watch. Carrie & Devin were forced to withdraw from the race due to Devin's injuries and had to choose a previously eliminated team to replace them. Brody & Geoff were chosen to return to the race.
- ^ Jacques & Josee were last to arrive at the mid-point Chill Zone in Central Park and were eliminated in the middle part of the Final Leg.
- ^ The Final Leg has two endings, depending on the location of the audience. Brody & Geoff are the winners in Australia, Brazil, Bulgaria, Denmark, France, Israel, Latin America, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Romania (Megamax), Russia, Spain, the United Kingdom, and the USA.

Production
editProduction commenced on January 1, 2014 and concluded on October 30, 2015.[22] It was announced that Alex Ganetakos was producing the show,[23] Terry McGurrin was writing the screenplay,[24] and that Chad Hicks was directing.[25] The new host Don was revealed in a Fresh TV post in October 2014.[26] It was confirmed that 26 episodes would be picked up for the show and that it would air sometime the same year.[27] However, one of the producers, Alex Ganetakos, stated that many Ridonculous Race seasons are possible if the first season is successful.[28] In June 2015, the entire first episode was leaked online, revealing all of the characters three months before Fresh TV could release their designs in their website.
Casting
editEven though some of the characters from the main series do make appearances, the spin-off series has a predominantly new cast.[29] In fact, there are only four characters returning from the original series, while the rest are brand new characters.[1] Kristin Fairlie, the voice actor for the character Bridgette from the original series, was cast to voice one of the new contestants, Carrie.[30] Scott McCord (voice of characters Owen and Trent in the original series) as well as Carter Hayden (voice of Noah in the original) were also revealed to be returning to the cast, and were seen in the recording studio together.[31] It was later confirmed that the actors were indeed going to voice the characters Owen and Noah.[32] It was eventually revealed that the first pair is to be the aforementioned character Carrie and her best friend Devin, who is played by Jeff Geddis.[8] In February, the second pair was revealed: Stephanie and Ryan. The two are voiced by Nicki Burke of Dead Rising 2 and Joseph Motiki, from Rescue Heroes.[9] In a new promotion by Cake Entertainment, Geoff was also revealed to be among the returning cast, teamed up with Brody, one of his friends from home.[5] The father-son team of Dwayne and Dwayne Jr. was also revealed.[12]
In June, a pair of goths called Ennui and Crimson, and Mary and Ellody, two close friends who are dubbed the "Geniuses", were revealed with news that returning voice actors Carter Hayden and Emilie-Claire Barlow (voice of Courtney) from the original series would play them.[10][19] A week later, the fourth pair to be released are Emma and Kitty, who are Asian sisters with opposite personalities, referred to as the "Sisters".[7] A week later, another team was confirmed; Chet and Lorenzo, known as "the Stepbrothers".[14] Next to be revealed are twins Mickey and Jay, called "the Adversity Twins", who are plagued with countless phobias, allergies, injuries, disorders, immunities, and ailments.[15] The rest of the teams were all revealed shortly thereafter.

The final three teams are now in New York City and are getting ready for the finale. Their first challenge is to go to the Empire State Building and climb up all the way to the top in order to grab a case and then take the case to Central Park. The Surfer Dudes are forced to take the subway after their taxi was sabotaged by the Ice Dancers' taxi, and end up in a huge lead, so they reach Central Park first with the case. The Police Cadets reach the Chill Zone first by a few seconds, while the Ice Dancers are finally eliminated from the race. The final challenge is to take the case to the lake and then try to figure out the combination that is being written on one of several buoys, and then open the case that will reveal a map that leads to the finish line. The Surfers are delayed due to a misunderstanding, and both teams search at the same time. The Cadets are the first to open up their briefcase, but MacArthur accidentally puts a hole in their boat, forcing her to row as fast as she can to shore, tiring her out.
After reminiscing about how great the race was, MacArthur tells Brody to keep in touch. Subsequently, the last scene of the season is edited to depict the Surfers holding the million dollar prize, while the Cadets are standing out with the rest of the teams in the peanut gallery.
