"Yo! Chris McClean here," a familiar face yells suddenly popping up, "This is a new show hosted by yours truly. Total Drama Island. This will be the name of our show.
Over the next eight weeks twenty-two contestants from a randomly selected middle school in the country will compete in a game no one has played before. They will be forced to live together divided into two teams and eat the revolting food. Every three days they will have a challenge that will be for immunity or reward. They will fight in each challenge hoping to win. The losers will be forced to vote off one of their own. The one will walk down the Dock of Shame and ride the Boat of Losers'. And they can never come back. EVER! The final one standing will win cheesy tabloid fame and a $100,000 check to go with it. Their every move will be seen and shown to you
All text in italics means the person is in a confessional booth aside from all players.
"The players can come here to say what they're really thinking, or they can just get something off their chest."
"We kinda told them they'd be a fire-star resort. So if they're kinda ticked off then don't be surprised. Here comes our first contestant."
"Hey Chris, are we in the right place," Peter says confused.
"Yep, and welcome Peter to Camp Wawanakwa, your home for the next eight weeks," Chris says with a smile.
"Oh my God! Hi!" an energetic Shirley says, "I'm so excited to be here right now!"
"I can tell by all three of your audition tapes," Chris says, "Our next contestant is… Lizzie."
"Wait, we're staying here?" Lizzie says annoyed.
"Yep," Chris says still smiling.
"I can't stay here," Lizzie mumbled under her breath.
"Let's get this started," George says kind of wet after water-skiing to the island, "I'm ready for my check Chris."
"Well first you have to beat everyone first," Chris explains.
"I know my class, I'm not worried," George says confidently.
"Well you haven't seen anything yet," Andrew says walking up, "Hey what's up Peter? Chris are we staying here?"
"Yep," the host says continuing to smile.
Jackie then walks up looking kind of sad seeing none of her friends have arrived yet, "Hi everyone. Glad to be here."
"Welcome to Camp Wawanakwa, you new home," Chris says showing no signs of his smile seizing.
"You see none of the contestants knew which of the others made out or not because they only found out today," Chris explains, "So no one knew if any of their friends made it or not."
"Oh my God! Lizzie! I'm so happy you made it!" Ellen, a funny and smart girl, exclaims not really caring about the place they're staying.
"Welcome Ellen," Chris says trying to get his teeth brighter than the hot sun.
"Hey everyone," Vince says, "George are you ready for you toughest competitor ever?"
"Only if you're ready to be the runner-up," George jokes.
"Okay just to warn you, our next competitor is possibly insane," Chris explains looking nervous. This gives a happy look to some people, but everyone knew who was next.
"Oh my God guys I can't believe I'm here. This is like so exciting! I can't wait for the challenges to start. They're gonna be so easy I bet. Oh hi Peter!" a very hyper Andy says.
"Welcome to Camp Wawanakwa Andy," Chris says not smiling for the first time the entire show.
"Hello other competitors," Vicky says with energy, "Prepare to lose, cause I'm not leaving without my check. Oh and Chris, good prank on the island thing. I'm truly laughing on the inside right now."
"Oh Vicky, I'm sorry to say this is no trick. For this is your new home," Chris explains now smiling once more.
"Wait, so your telling me in order to win I have to live at this dump for the next eight weeks?" Julie asks just walking up.
"You bet ya," Chris says now with his full smile again.
"Come on," Julie says followed by a groan from everyone excluding Andy.
"Who's ready to get it on," Eddie asks causing several groans from the other contestants.
"Of all the people you could have picked, you pick him?" Lizzie asks angrily.
"Yep," Chris says, "We thought he would provoke some of the others.
"You did just that," Nate says walking up, "You managed to make me mad!"
"And we never get mad," John says finishing Nate's sentence walking right next to him. Seeing Shirley makes Nate very red.
"Mission accomplished then on Day 1" Chris says sarcastically, "Oh and here comes the next contestant, Margret."
"Uh oh," Peter whispers.
"Hi everyone," Margret says happy Vince is there secretly and happy Lizzie and Ellen is there openly.
"Hello everyone," Annie says coming up somewhat quietly.
"Hello Annie," Andrew says happily seeing his girlfriend made it.
"Awww how sweet," Mick, Andrew's friend, teases walking up.
"Looks like we've got a couple already," Chris says, "Hello Sam."
"Hello Chris," Sam says, "Vince."
"Hi everyone I'm glad you all made it," Sue says jumping off the boat.
"Welcome, both of you to your new home," Chris explains hoping to get a reaction, negative of course.
"Hi Jackie," Molly says walking up.
"Hello Molly," Jackie replies.
"No way!" Ned yells, "You made it George!"
"Ya," George says with a huge smile on his face, "Glad your here too!"
Peter just realized there's only one spot left and his crush isn't here yet, "Please," Peter whispers, "She has to be next."
"Okay our final contestant is.." Chris says, "Hannah!"
"Yes," Peter thinks very happy.
"Hello everyone," Hannah says, "Glad you're all here, especially Shirley and Julie."
"Great. Now that you're all here," Chris explains, "Let me tell you the most important part. You all can use the confessional at any time and say anything you want as long as it's legal."
"So after seeing all of the contestants I'm happy Hannah, Andy, Andrew, Mick, John and Nate are here," Peter says happily, "Also I have a problem. I like Hannah, but Hannah likes Nate. And Nate like Shirley, but Shirley likes me. What am I supposed to do?"
"So I plan on front running all of these losers," Lizzie explains smiling deviously, "Ending with Ellen and Margret. Starting with George."
"Most important are teams. You will live with your team in the cabins. Boys on one side, girls on the other. Who's on what team will be revealed after lunch, which I'm sure all of you will be delighted to here is going to be cooked by a crazy war veteran. You should also be happy to hear his food stinks and never even got one-star," Chris explains getting even more groans, "You all know the other rules, assuming you read them on the application form."
The contestants are in the food court talking and not really touching their food. "What you din't like my cooking?" Chef Hatchet asks meanly.
"Oh, um, uh," Peter starts, "I'm not really hungry."
"I want to be polite, but his food really sucks," Andrew says pretending to throw up.
"Great now that everyone's eaten," Chris says, "We can get to teams. Meet me outside in ten."
"When I think of the perfect teammate I obviously think of Ellen," Mick explains, "Athletic, smart, funny, and most of all she's beautiful."
Ten minutes later everyone is anxious about who's team they will be on. They want someone nice, but athletic. Funny, but smart. "Alright then. Team one. Peter, Lizzie. Andrew, Ellen, Andy, Julie, Ned, Annie, Sam, Molly and John. You will be known as the Screaming Gopher's," Chris explains getting some laughs from the contestants, "Hannah, Nate, Sue, Mick, Margret, Eddie, Vicky, Vince, George and Shirley. You will now be known as the Killer Bass."
"Why exactly do we get stuck with the bad name," Ned ponders, "I'd much rather be the Killer Bass than the Screaming Gopher's."
"You have exactly three hours to unpack and get ready for the first challenge. Oh and the Gophers' cabin is on the east side and the Bass' is on the west," the smiling host explains.
"What do you think the first challenge will be?" Sam asks to no one in particular.
"I don't know," John answers, "It could be anything really. Basketball, relay race, or maybe even a question game."
"Whatever it is it can't be that bad," Peter says reassuringly, "I mean it's our first challenge."
Meanwhile in the Bass cabin, "What do you want the first challenge to be?" Hannah asks the girls.
"I don't know," Vicky answers, "Hopefully something nice and easy, like a relay race or something."
"Somehow I doubt it," Sue replies, "I don't trust that Chris will give us nice and easy challenges. I don't particularly trust him."
"Hey!" Chris says, "I am so trustworthy. And Sue's right. The first challenge will be one to remember!"
"Alright camper's. Meet me at the top of the cliff for your first challenge."
"Alright! Bring it on!" George says confidently, "Nothing can stop me.!"
"Is it bad that I hope George fails at the first challenge," Peter asks, "It's not that I want him to be embarrassed. I just don't particularly like him."
"Chris, was that the first challenge," Andrew asks, "It was certainly hard enough. That had to be like 1,000 feet or something."
"Nope, but good estimation," Chris starts, "Your first task is simple. You must jump off the 1,000 foot cliff into the lake."
"What?!" Lizzie asks terrified, "I could die!"
Scenes from the next chapter:
"I don't know if I can do this," Hannah says.
"Oh your doing it!" Margret orders.
"I don't know if he's gonna make it," John says suddenly scared.
"And the final marshmallow of the night goes to..." Chris says very slowly.
