The TV Tropes site defines a "Now or Never Kiss" as one exchanged in a life-threatening situation. In the context of a competition story, though, an elimination is the usual situation for it. (Of course, that doesn't mean I wouldn't necessarily use the other type...)

Of course, if you mention "Amazon" in a Total Drama context, people will automatically think of Eva, just as mentioning the RCMP will make people automatically think of Izzy.

I'm afraid I must disappoint you about the "Red Shirt" trope, though. The only reference (which I have mentioned in a couple of the preview scenes) is to the dress and life expectancy of the interns.
