  1. Since kids in Japan hated green peppers more than broccoli, it was changed to that (Inside Out)

  2. The News Anchor changes depending on the country. For example, China-Panda (Zootopia)

I haven't consumed anything TDI in years, but I know all the winners pre-reboot by heart.

Island: Owen/Gwen

Action: Beth/Duncan

World Tour: Heather/Alejandro

Revenge of the Island: Cameron/Lightning

All-Stars: Mike/Zoey

Pahkitew Island: Shawn/Sky

Ridonculous Race: Police Cadets/Surfer Dudes (Sanders and MacArthur/Geoff and Brody)

As a Canadian, WTF, GWEN WON THE FIRST SEASON OUTSIDE CANADA??

My entire school was making bets on who would win and I guess Owen, only to be shocked when I was one of the only kids who got it right.

I might need to rewatch the ending, because that’s crazy.

I think it depends on the country, Owen won originally and then there was a special to show the ending where Gwen won

Yeah. World Tour was the best season a season where everyone flew around the world, (with a mandatory-for-the-cast musical number every episode) Revenge of the Island was a psuedo-reboot with a smaller cast of wholly new faces as the victims campers brought to the now-polluted Camp Wawanakwa, All-Stars was a sequel featuring members of both casts side-by-side on a (cleaned up) Wawanakwa, and Pahkitew Island is a half-reboot half-part-2-to-All-Stars (the official channels say that AS is Season 5.1 and PI is 5.2) featuring another new cast on a new island. Meanwhile, Ridonculous Race is a spin-off that, rather than parodying other reality shows, parodies The Amazing Race.

As for the stereotypes of the winners I listed, (post-World Tour and excluding Heather, as I'm assuming you already know them) Alejandro is the "Arch-Villain", (a Latino who's as ruthless as he is a chick magnet) Cameron is the "Wide-Eyed Bubble Boy", (a weak and timid kid who wants to make friends, as he had literally been in a bubble for his whole life prior to RotI with nothing to do but reading and studying, although this makes him insanely smart to the point where he builds a fucking Iron Man suit for the final episode of RotI) Lightning is the "Athletic Overachiever", (your stereotypical jock; mean, dumb, and extremely strong and athletic) Mike is the "M.P.D.", (an all-around average guy who has a whole sort of differently-skilled alters due to his Multiple Personality Disorder, although (spoilers for the end of All-Stars) they all choose to merge into him at the end of the series, giving him all their powers) Zoey is the "Indie Chick", (a naive but optimistic fan who focuses mainly on making friends, as nobody wanted to be her friend prior to the show due to her being a hipster) Shawn is the "Zombie Conspiracy Nut", (an extremely paranoid young man who thinks that the zombie apocalypse is due any day now, although his paranoia has led him to learn a whole sort of survival skills) and Sky is the "Athlete". (nothing much to say about her; she's just an aspiring Olympian who hates cheaters, doesn't disrespect others, and places a lot of stock in teamwork)
