To say it was sunny would be an understatement in this situation; the sun was beating down onto the earth, and in particular, one specific, rotted, old, rather disgusting looking dock jutting out into a crystal-clear ocean. On that very dock stood one man, a blue overshirt and khaki trousers adorned his frame and dark sunglasses hid his eyes from both the sun and those around him. This man is Chris McLean: model, actor, and TV star and he was on that dock for one very exciting project, one that would propel his career to new and exciting heights never before reached.
A red light on a camera turned on indicating that the show was rolling and quick as a flash his sunglasses were off his face and a bright pearly smiled radiated out of the man's mouth. He gave the camera a flattering look and burst into a speech, prepared long before this moment.
"Hello all who are watching and welcome to the island of Wawanakwa! Somewhere off the coast of Muskoka Canada! My name is Chris McLean and I am here to announce that you're gonna be in for the ride of your lives! From across all of Canada I have managed to gather 22 teens who are all ready to give their all in 6 weeks of gruelling competition for $100,000!" Chris raised his arms in exclamation as he let the moment sink in before continuing.
"Of course, it's not going to be easy for these guys, they'll have to endure this wonderful summer camp donated to us by the Canadian Moose Rangers!" The camera pans to show a rather run-down looking summer camp, it definitely wouldn't be winning any awards any time soon.
"They'll have to compete in challenges and at the end of the day vote off one of their own. The aim of the game is to be the last camper standing, and when you are, that cheque is all yours!" He grinned at the camera once more and nodded his head.
"I think we all get the gist, so let's get to meeting these 22 campers who are fighting for the money." Just as he finished his sentence, a small boat pulls up to the dock carrying an athletic girl holding a surfboard in her arms, her blond hair tied into a ponytail. She smiled calmly as she walked off of the boat and took in her surroundings.
"You know, this doesn't look like the beach I was promised." She observed, raising a quizzical brow at the host.
"Oh yeah, about that, um, budget cuts." The host raised his hands in defence as the girl, now known to be named Bridgette shook her head and smirked slightly.
"I'm sure it'll be fun either way." She smiled and picked up the bag that had been thrown from the boat at her feet. She took the initiative and walked to the end of the dock, awaiting the arrival of her fellow campers.
A new boat swiftly followed the departure of the last – this one carrying a boy with a guitar strapped to his back and longer black hair. Once the boat had fully stopped, he picked up his suitcase from the deck and walked down to meet Chris; he held out his hand for a shake which the host gladly took, grinning all the while.
"This is Trent everybody!" Chris announced to the whole crown of Bridgette who waved from further down the dock.
"It's a pleasure to be here bro." Trent nodded with a smile on his face, "I'm just here to have a good time and get some good time in to write my songs."
"Yeah well good luck with that." Chris said with a knowing smirk as Trent walked over to stand with Bridgette. Almost as if on cue, the next boat turned up carrying a shorter girl wearing a pair of worn out dungarees and a bright, infectious smile. She bounds off of the boat, the wide smile never once leaving her face as she stops right in front off Chris. Her eyes widen in awe as she looks at him.
"Omg, Chris McLean! I just wanted to let you know that I loved you in that one badminton movie. You were so good, I can't even explain." She gushed, "Can I please get your autograph? Bertha would be so jealous."
"Thank you so much Beth." Chris beamed, even wider than before, a seemingly impossible feat. "I'll hook you up with an autograph once the competition's over." He winked at the girl who swooned on the spot.
"Thank you so much Mr McLean." Beth smiled again, quickly hugging the man who looks slightly off put for the slightest of seconds before returning to his positive demeanour. He gestures for Beth to stand with the other two, an order which she gladly follows.
The next boat draws up with a very skinny boy sitting on the deck with a book in his hands. When the boat stops at the dock, he raises his rather large head and casts an eye around and lets out an audible sigh. Picking himself up with some slight effort he walked down to the dock and gave a glare to the host.
"Wow, this resort looks even better than the pictures." He drawled, a venomous edge dripped into his voice.
"We do aim to please Noah." Chris replied back with a smirk.
"You'll please me when you cut me the cheque Chris." Noah called back, already half way to the other contestants.
"We love a bit of confidence!" Chris called back, eager to make sure that he got the last word, he was met with a dismissive wave from the boy, now known as Noah. Just on time one more boat drew up to the dock, this time with a girl on its bow. Her dark black hair was tied into a bun on the back of her head and a scowl was etched into her face. She picked up her bags and walked calmly onto the dock, nodding at Chris on her way past.
"This is Eva everyone!" Chris announced, clearly put out by being ignored. Eva dropped her bags onto the dock, resounding in a large crash. Noah raised an eyebrow at her.
"What's in there? A body?" He asked, his signature sarcasm continuing to seep into his voice.
"There can be." Eva answered curtly, not taking her eyes off of the horizon nor removing the scowl from her face. Noah took that as his cue to not push any further and returned to his book.
Another boat was pulling in at the same time, this one was carrying a larger boy, with a wide frame and a serene smile. He stepped off the boat with his suitcase and shook Chris' hand.
"Nice to meet you buddy, at least someone here has manners." Chris noted with a happy smile. "This is DJ." Chris announced to the camera.
"Well my momma raised me right." DJ said with a smile. "Manners don't cost you a dime."
"Very true facts." Chris nodded sagely before turning back to DJ. "Just go stand over with the rest of the cast over there." He explained, the muscled boy followed his request and joined the others at the end of the dock. Another boat pulled up as he left, this one carried two girls, wearing matching outfits. They were holding hands and jumping up and down, clearly struggling to hide their excitement.
"Oh my gosh, I'm like so excited to be here." The first one, the skinnier of the two, exclaimed in a rather loud voice.
"Oh my gosh, like me too, I can't wait for us to spend the summer together." The other girl echoed, jumping up and down with her counterpart. They both picked up their suitcases, again in matching patterns and walked down onto the dock.
"Katie." Chris said pointing to the skinnier of the two girls. "And Sadie." He said pointing the larger girl. "It's good to have you both here." Chris smiled again, turning on his charm.
"Oh my gosh, like Chris is so much hotter in real life." Sadie whispered not so discreetly in Katie's ear.
"Oh my gosh, like you're so right." Katie said, looking intensely at Chris' face. "He's like, a lot shorter than he looked in that movie though."
"I think you're right, oh my gosh." Sadie giggled, both girls oblivious to the fact that Chris was right next to them and heard every word.
"Right thanks you two, really appreciating the self confidence boost, go stand with the others." Chris interrupted their little chat with a pout, pointing the two down the other end of the dock.
"Oh my gosh, Chris we're like so sorry oh my gosh." Sadie gushed, holding her face in shame.
"Yeah like, so, so, sorry." Katie echoed, nodding profusely. Chris just pointed to the end of the dock in response, still sulking. The two girls took their suitcases and walked with sheepish looks standing among their new castmates.
One more boat, one more contestant: this one carried a boy of average height, he wore normal looking clothes, his only defining feature being the blue toque that adorned his head. Oh, and the finger that was firmly lodged up his nostril as he looked at the open seas around him. He disembarked the boat with his luggage and walked over to Chris.
"I didn't realise that water could be so blue eh." He mentioned, seemingly to himself but also the whole area.
"I'll guess that this is your first time to an island then Ezekiel." Chris commented, apparently having forgotten the small moment of abuse he received accidentally from the two BFFs.
"That would be aboot right eh." Ezekiel said, nodding with awe. "I think I saw a shark."
"That's wonderful buddy." Chris said with a smile, giving Ezekiel a firm pat on the back. Chris had intended for that to mean Ezekiel walked over to the other teenagers, not forming a nice little congregation. Sadly, the boy was not the best at social cues and stood rooted to the spot, his finger still in his nose – a fact which grossed out more than a few of the other campers.
"Hey Ezekiel, buddy, that's your cue to go stand with your new friends." Chris urged the boy, who finally understood the gesture and walked over to the others. As could be expected, another boat pulled up to the dock, this one carried another boy, he was small, much like Noah, but he lacked the scowl on his face. Instead he had a wide toothy smile and wide puppy-like eyes. The boat he was stood on pulled up to the dock and he disembarked, dragging his suitcase behind him.
"Cody! Welcome to Wawanakwa!" Chris greeted the boy, now known as Cody, who smiled at Chris.
"Hey there man, this is gonna be so awesome." Cody said, his smile still stuck on his face.
"Damn right it is my dude." Chris agreed as Cody also walked to the end of the dock. Next to arrive was a girl with pale skin and black with hair with teal streaks running through it. Her face held a scowl that could've rivaled Noah and Eva. She glared at Chris as she stomped off of the boat.
"Real cute, a total resort." She drawled, her voice dripping with sarcasm.
"Isn't she a beauty?" Chris responded, choosing to ignore the sarcastic tone in the girl's voice. "You're gonna have the best time Gwen." He continued; voice saccharine sweet.
"I'd rather pluck out both of my eyebrows hair by hair" Gwen rolled her eyes and walked away from the man, not deigning to stand near him anymore.
"We sure do have some feisty teens with us, that only means that the drama is gonna be epic!" Chris narrated to the camera the excitement evident in his voice. The boat carried a boy in a red tracksuit and matching sweatband wrapped around his head. He was fistpumping at the dock as the boat pulled in. He attempted to vault over the railing at the front of the boat, but his foot just caught it as he cleared the rail; the boy was sent reeling and landed onto the dock. Face first.
Bridgette and DJ came running over to the boy, their instincts taking over as the latter put his arms under the boy's shoulders and lifted him up.
"Hey man, are you okay?" DJ asked, getting the boy to follow his finger, making sure his brain was still working. It was.
"Yeah dude, I'm like great, that was so wicked!" The boy shouted, throwing his arms up into the air.
"He's right, that was so wicked, sick wipeout!" Chris echoed, patting the boy on the back, "This is Tyler." Chris introduced.
"You know you could at least be a little concerned for his safety." Bridgette scolded, folding her arms at the host. "Tyler could've been seriously injured."
"Yeah but he's not." Chris said with a shrug as Bridgette and DJ walked Tyler back to the rest of the campers, his suitcase being pulled along behind him.
The next boat carried a girl a shock of orange hair, she is grinning from ear to ear and leaning dangerously over the railing, letting the wind blow through her hair. As the boat stops moving the girl mounts the railing and does a front flip onto the dock, landing with her arms in the air. She is awarded with a smattering of applause from her fellow contestants and a smile from Chris.
"You made it look better than Tyler over there." Noah smirked, giving a point to Tyler who was rubbing his cheek, undoubtedly going to bruise in the next couple of days.
"That's Izzy for you!" The girl cackled, "Master acrobat and gymnast!" She struck a pose. Quick as a flash she was behind Chris and rather creepily whispering in his ear, "Just so we're clear there isn't any satellite coverage or like, cellphones?"
"Um, no?" Chris looked decidedly creeped out as the girl nodded before cartwheeling over to the other campers. "Izzy definitely is something." Chris shook his head as another boat pulled into dock. This one carried a boy with a shocking green mohawk and piercings adorning his face. He stepped off of the boat with a neutral expression, running his eyes over the others gather at the end of the dock.
"Duncan, nice to see you." Chris was a master of changing his personality on the drop of a dime, his off-put expression changed seamlessly to one of warmth and welcome.
"Good to be here." He looked over the others again, "And by the looks of it, I'll be leaving here a whole lot richer." His cockiness was met with raised eyebrows from a few of the campers.
"Love your confidence dude, but I can promise you that it's not going to be that easy." Chris chuckled rather darkly as Duncan sauntered over to the rest of the campers. He winked at Eva whose only response was to crack her knuckles and snarl. Another boat was pulling into the dock once more, this one carried a larger girl with long black hair. As the boat stopped, she stepped onto the dog with swagger, waving at the teens at the other end of the dock.
"Hey y'all! Leshawna is in the house baby."
"Hell yeah!" another voice came from behind Leshawna as another boat had pulled up, this one carried a boy with a large cowboy hat and an unbuttoned pink shirt. He walked onto the dock with a level of swagger almost as high as Leshawna's with a huge smile on his face. "This summer is gonna be so rad!" He declared.
Chris nodded along enthusiastically at the two, pleased to see sine excitement built up for his new show. "Glad to see some excited faces, go over and meet your new friends over at the other end. We've almost met everyone now."
The two walked over to the ever-growing group of teens, Geoff gasped and ran over to DJ.
"How did you get so ripped? That's like insane dude." DJ chuckled nervously in response, not quite sure how to take the compliment.
"Oh, you know, just playing football and eating right." DJ laughed, rubbing his hand on the back of his neck. "You're not looking too bad yourself though." He was quick to gesture at Geoff's own stomach which was on show.
"Thanks bro, I worked hard for that." The two shared a small chuckle as the next boat rocked up to the dock. This boat carried a tall slender girl with long back hair. She was wearing a pair of sunglasses that hid her eyes. The boat stopped and she stepped off of it with grace and poise. Her face was hidden but you could tell that her eyes were piercing. She snapped her fingers and her bags were brought out by a nervous looking boy who was on the boat, obviously a production assistant for the show.
"Thank you, sweetie." Heather said, smiling sweetly at the boy who just nodded profusely in response.
"Heather." Chris nodded, "You sure do know how to make an entrance." He conceded.
The girl took her sunglasses off to look at Chris as well as her competitors, she glared at the host. "You clearly don't know what a five-star resort is though, do you?" She snarled.
"Nope not at all, but you're here so tough luck!" Chris exclaimed with glee, Heather scoffed and walked over to the other teens, some of the meeker among them like Beth and DJ took a small step back when the girl entered their presence.
The next boat carried a boy with orange hair, he carried a keyboard under his arm. He stepped onto the dock with a heavy sigh and looked at Chris.
"This is Harold." Chris introduced. The boy nodded, breathing heavily as he did so, like he had a blocked nose.
"So, we're staying at this gross summer camp?" He asked the host, to which he nodded, "Awesome, all of my skills are gonna pay off." He said enthusiastically, walking over to the other teens as another boat pulled up to dock; this one carried a girl with brown hair and a confident smirk.
She stepped onto the dock and smiled at the group,
"Hi everyone, my name is Courtney and we're all gonna have a great time this summer." She announced; she was met with mainly blank stares, a couple of nods and a few scoffs from the ruder members of the group.
"Not likely princess, even with you to look at." The response came from Duncan, who winked at the dignified girl, she was immediately flustered and struggled to find the words to respond.
"Settle down kids." Chris joked, "Let's not get too far ahead of ourselves." Courtney rolled her eyes but kept the cheerful demeanour on her face as she stood as far away from Duncan as she could. Another boat pulled onto the dock; this one carried a larger boy with blond hair who was screaming in delight into the sky. The boy stepped onto the dock and began laughing.
"Boy am I so glad to be here." He exclaimed, "Chris McLean! Gimme five!" He held out his hand which Chris slapped with a smile.
"Owen my man, welcome to Wawanakwa." The host clearly liked the loud and excited boy. Owen walked over to the other teens and was introducing himself excitedly. Most people were kind enough to return the gesture, kindly introducing themselves to the boy. Heather is not most people.
"Ew don't look at me weirdo." She scoffed, turning her entire body away from him. Owen looked put out but didn't let it stop him. A hand touched his back which belonged to Beth.
"Don't worry, she's like that with everyone." She smiled, "I'm Beth." She introduced herself and was soon scooped up into a hug by the jolly giant.
"Hi Beth, I'm Owen." He said, as the two laughed at their meeting. Heather rolled her eyes again and muttered under her breath.
"Weirdos."
"Alright guys! Here comes our last boat!" Chris announced both to the cameras and to the group of teenagers scattered on the dock. They all turned to the end of the dock where one last boat pulled up. Multiple contestants rubbed their eyes to look at the boat again which seemed to glow brighter than all of the others. On it were two people, standing next to each other and looking off into the distance, their skin glowing under the sun. Several mouths dropped at the displays of sheer beauty. One was a boy with deep tanned skin with a serene smile on his face. The other was a blond girl her hair held back by a blue bandana, she was also smiling brightly off into the distance, a hand on the boy's shoulder. The boat stopped at the dock and the two disembarked, the boy holding the girl's hand to help her hop off.
"Justin and Lindsay." Chris said to them, "Nice of you two to drop by," Justin nodded in response while Lindsay giggled.
"Of course Chip." She said laughing lightly. Her forgetfulness raised a couple of eyebrows from the cast.
"Lindsay, my name is Chris." The host reminded her with his smile still plastered on his face.
"Are you sure Chet?" Lindsay questioned with a furrowed brow. "Now I'm just confused." She walked away from Chris who stood bewildered at the girl. Justin just shrugged and walked over to the others as well.
"Right well, anyway." Chris started, shaking his head and getting back into his groove. "Thanks to those two for giving us an awesome shot for our promo! Now that all of you are here, I would like to officially welcome you all to Total Drama Island!" The host exclaimed; this was met with various cheers from the more excitable members of the group. "Now as you all know, you're here to be competing for 100,000 dollars, 100,000 big ones and all you have to do, is outlast every single person standing next to you. Sounds easy right?" Everyone gave small glances to the people besides them, sizing up their competition. "They may be your friends now, but they're also going to be your rivals, your enemies and your obstacles on your journey to the prize money." His speech was getting the contestants riled up, they were ready to take this game by storm.
"Now, if you'd all like to gather together and pose for the cast picture that would be wonderful." Everyone huddled together as Chris pulled out a small digital camera. "Everyone say Wawanakwa!"
"Wawanakwa!" The cast shouted with the exception of a few as Chris snapped the picture without any trouble. The host turned to the camera and gave it a deadpan stare.
"What you thought we were going to pull some cheap trick? We're above that dudes." He rolled his eyes and turned back to the cast. "Right! Now if you'd all like to follow me I'll give you a tour of the communal areas here on camp where you'll get to be spending your summer." Chris began to lead the contestants in a march down off the dock and onto the island itself. He pointed to a large building set up right in the middle of a clearing.
"This here is our cafeteria, where our wonderful chef will cook three square meals a day, just for you guys. Let's go in and meet him!" Chris said as he walked into the cafeteria, the group followed suit.
The cafeteria itself was decorated much like your average camp dining hall, with high wooden rafters and two rows of benches laid out nice and neatly with cute tablecloths coloured red and green. The walls were old and slightly rotted and the floor looked like it had seen better days, but the room served its purpose.
"Ugh, it smells like something died in here." Duncan moaned, crinkling his nose in disgust, as if by magic a knife was flung at his head, a knife that he only managed to duck under with nanoseconds to spare. "Dude, what the hell?" He announced to the mystery assailant who was standing in a doorway on the other side of the cafeteria.
"That would be Chef Hatchet." Chris smirked as the mystery man stepped out from the shadows. He was a large imposing man wearing a grubby chef's uniform.
"My name is Chef Hatchet!" He shouted, "You will address me as Chef, Sir or not at all!" He continued, getting into the faces of the contestants. "I will serve you up food, and you will eat the food! If you don't like the food, then complain to someone that isn't me! Because I! Don't! Care!" He finished on a particularly loud note which caused a couple of contestants to jump.
"Wow, you're so hard, you got 'mom' tattooed on your arm?" Noah asked with his usual deadpan sneer. He was promptly picked up by the man much larger than himself and held up to his face.
"I hear you make another smartass comment like that again! And that knife I threw at the punk boy is going to be aimed for your head, do you hear me pipsqueak?!"
"Yes sir." Noah cringed, voice barely above a whisper as Chef dropped him onto the ground. Chris simply chuckled darkly as he walked back towards the door of the cafeteria.
"Man, I love that guy." Chris announced dreamily as he walked back out into the open air.
Next on his tour was a set of two buildings, each one split again into two parts. Again, with red and green colourings.
"These are gonna be your cabins." Chris announced, "It's where you're going to be able to sleep at night and gossip, talking about boys and girls and all that fun stuff you kids do." Chris joked as he continued walking, "We'll get you set up in there later."
He continued walking to another building just off from the campers.
"This is where the bathrooms are, boys on the left, girls on the right. Yes, they're communal no you can't have an ensuite Heather." Chris continued, walking quickly through this part of the tour, his dig was not unnoticed by Heather who once more rolled her eyes at the man.
The final stop on the tour was what seemed to be a typical outhouse.
"Here is probably the most interesting place and what will be the most frequented place on the whole island." Chris announced.
"Didn't you say that we had bathrooms literally thirty seconds that way?" Gwen said gesturing back to the washrooms.
"Yes, yes, I did Gwen, this is not your average outhouse, oh no! This is the only place where you can be truly alone. Well where you and a camera recording your every thought can be alone. That's right, in here is where you can come to air all your dirty laundry without your fellow campers hearing all the crap you're talking about them." Chris finished with a smirk on his face. "Now why don't you all go and form a line and give a little opening sentence to the camera that we can use to introduce you." Chris said as the contestants lined up outside the outhouse.
(Confessional Time Baby – and boy it's a doozy)
BRIDGETTE: This should definitely be interesting. I'm not quite sure what to expect but I'm here to play and I'm here to win.
TRENT: This place might even be better than that resort we were promised. Being with nature always helps get my creative juices flowing.
BETH: This is actually so exciting, pretty much my only friend back home is Bertha so it's gonna be really cool to meet all these new people.
NOAH: It's been maybe two hours and I can already tell that these people are going to be insufferable, oh the things I do for money.
EVA: I'm here to win and I'll crush anyone who gets in my way!
DJ: I don't think I was expecting people here to be so scary but I gotta push through for my momma.
KATIE: (SADIE is also sat with her in the outhouse) Oh my god I'm like so excited to spend the summer with you Sadie.
SADIE: Oh my god, I'm so excited to spend the summer with you too Katie!
EZEKIEL: My mom said that it'll be really good for me to leave the house, eh, so here I am.
CODY: A lot of people would say that I'm too weak or scrawny to be able to compete with some of the people here but I'm not afraid of them. I'm gonna win this. (He pumps his fist into the air only to hit it on the wall of the outhouse. He cries out in pain and begins cradling his hand)
GWEN: I feel so utterly cheated at this present moment, oh the things I do for money (She shakes her head and sighs)
TYLER: Dude this is gonna be so totally awesome! (Tyler also fist pumps the air and hits his hand on the wall of the outhouse in the same place as Cody, he lets out a groan and cradles his injured hand)
IZZY: Izzy is gonna have so much fun! (She looks around shiftily before sticking her head in the toilet bowl) All clear… you can never be too safe…
DUNCAN: This competition is full of a bunch of pansies and losers. (He smirks at the camera) They won't know what hit 'em.
LESHAWNA: I'm playing hard and I'm playing fast baby, these suckers are gonna feel the power of Leshawna baby.
GEOFF: I'm just here to party my dudes, I haven't got time for all this negative energy I'm feeling at the moment. Just here to have a good summer.
HEATHER: Ugh, I can't believe I got roped into this disgusting summer camp! Chris is so going to hear from my parents! (A fly buzzes past her head and she instinctively reaches out to slap the creature. Only to miss and slam her hand into the wall of the outhouse. She let out a small expletive and began cradling her hand.)
HAROLD: Not that many people seem so happy to be here, which is all to my benefit because it just means even less competition to compete with my mad skills. (Harold nods at the camera and looks very confident in himself)
COURTNEY: (She has a small smirk on her face as she addresses the camera) As a CIT I'm more than qualified to be able to win this game, I've got all the skills to make sure that these people both like me and follow my rules. The rules where I win.
OWEN: I hope that Chef guy cooks really nice food (He chuckled to himself at the thought of food until his stomach rumbles) I'm actually really hungry
LINDSAY: (She is not looking at the camera but instead in the toilet bowl.) Is this where the camera is?
JUSTIN: The plan is just to stay inconspicuous and let other people pick each other off while they forget about me. That or they'll keep me around because I'm fun to look at (He winks at the camera) and can you blame them?
"Right! Now that we've got that out of the way! Follow me once more and I'll take you to the most sacred place on the entire island." Chris led the whole group to a firepit set up in the middle of another clearly with tree stumps set up around it on one side. On the other side stood a small podium. The fire was currently unlit due to it being daytime but during the night it was clear that it would produce a rather sizable flame.
"This here is the Campfire, the place where your dreams are both made, and destroyed." Chris explained, "When your team loses the challenge you will be sent to this campfire where you will have to vote off one member of your team, that member will be eliminated from the game and will not be able to return, ever." Chris finished. "Now on the topic of teams, let's get you sorted right now. If I say your name, please go stand on the other side of the logs." Chris pulled out a sheet of paper and began listing off the names.
"Gwen, Trent, Lindsay, Noah, Justin, Heather, Leshawna, Cody, Owen, Beth and finally…" Chris looked up as the first ten campers wandered over to the other side of the campfire as he surveyed the remaining twelve. "No that's never going to work." He muttered to himself before looking back at his paper and quickly regaining his composure. "And Izzy!" He announced, the girl let out a small whoop and flipped over to the rest of her teammates.
"That means that: Duncan, Courtney, DJ, Bridgette, Geoff, Eva, Ezekiel, Harold, Tyler, Katie and Sadie, you are all the other team and may stand here on this side." Chris recited as the two teams gathered together on their own respective sides.
"Now you guys." Chris said pointing at the first team. "You guys are going to be known as the Screaming Gophers." He threw them a green roll of fabric which Trent caught and unfurled into a large picture, of a well, screaming gopher.
"That name sure is interesting." Cody laughed as he looked the picture on the sheet. "Accurate likeness to a gopher too I guess."
"And you guys here." Chris said pointing to the other team, "You guys are the Killer Bass." He threw a red sheet to this team which Courtney caught and unfurled to show a picture of, you guessed it, a killer bass.
"Now that's a real team name," Eva smirked, "We're gonna be killers alright." Her joy was rather off-putting to members of both the other team and her own.
"Now that we've got that out of the way we can get on with getting you all settled into the cabins!" Chris announced, ignoring the commentary of the two teams. He led them back to the two cabins, decorated in red and green. "If you haven't already guessed, the green cabins are for the Gophers and the red cabins are for the Bass. Boys are on the left-hand side and girls are on the right, just like the washrooms." Chris explained, "And don't worry, I've had your luggage brought into your rooms by our lovely interns already, so you just have to get yourself settled in. You have thirty minutes before the next challenge, I'll be waiting by the campfire." Chris laughed as he walked back in the direction of the campfire.
(Killer Bass Boys side)
The six boys are all gathered in the room, sorting out who gets to sleep in what bed. The bed is decorated with red once again, and has three sets of bunk beds, all with red bed coverings. There was one window that looked out onto the forest around the camp.
"I'm sleeping on this bunk." Duncan declared as he threw his luggage onto the top of one of the bunks and climbed up to it.
"I'll take the bottom." Tyler announced, climbing in under Duncan.
"Less chance of you falling out of bed then klutz." Duncan responded with a chuckle that no one else shared.
"I think I'll sleep up here." Geoff announced, eager to change the topic, while picking the top of another bunk.
"I'll take this one then." DJ said with a smile, sliding into the bunk under Geoff's, now two fast friends.
"I guess that leaves us." Harold noticed, mainly talking to Ezekiel while putting his keyboard on the bottom of the last bunk. This was followed by Ezekiel climbing into the bunk above him and getting himself comfortable.
(Screaming Gophers Boys' Side)
A similar situation was taking place in the other boys' cabin.
"I don't mind taking this bottom bunk guys." Owen declared as he set himself up.
"Oh, thank god." Noah muttered under his breath, rolling his eyes slightly. "I'm taking this bottom bunk." He stated, picking the bunk on the other side of the room to Owen.
"I'll sleep above you Noah." Cody said, throwing his bag onto the top.
"And I don't mind sleeping above you Owen." Trent mentioned, leaning his guitar against the wall and putting his bags on the top bunk. "I guess that leaves you in that bunk Justin. Is that okay with you?"
"Totally fine." Justin said with a smile, setting himself up in the empty bunk bed.
JUSTIN: I always wanted the bunk bed to myself; people need to learn that sometimes shutting up gets you what you want.
(Killer Bass Girls' Side)
The same situation is happening here as can be expected. Eva immediately walked over to the bunk at the far end of the room and dropped her bags on the floor.
"This bed's mine, I would suggest that you don't sleep near it." She threatened, and people were not eager to push it any further.
"Well obviously like me and Katie will sleep in the same bed." Sadie said, putting her bags on the bottom bunk and Katie's on the top bunk.
"Aw you remembered that I don't like the bottom bunk." Katie gushed hugging Sadie.
"Of course, I did, you're my BFFF!" Sadie squealed; her voice soon joined by Katie's to create a rather high-pitched whine. They were both shut up when a pillow was sent flying at their heads.
"Shut up before I make you shut up." Eva growled. The technique was very effective, and the girls quietened down rather quickly.
"I guess this leaves us Bridgette." Courtney smiled, "Would you like to sleep on the top or bottom bunk?" She asked, trying to be accommodating.
"It's probably best that I sleep on the bottom, I'm not the best with ladders." Bridgette admitted as she put her stuff on the bottom bunk and Courtney put hers on the top.
"Well that settles it." Courtney said with a nod. "Let's go out there and win!" She said, attempting to be encouraging but succeeding in only being kind of annoying.
COURTNEY: I'm really trying hard to take charge of my team but they're really stubborn. I've just got to be persistent and they'll come around.
EVA: I'm not here to make friends or be nice to people; I'm here to win.
(Screaming Gophers Girls' Side)
Heather was sat on one of the bottom bunks filing her nails whilst the others discussed the sleeping arrangements.
"So, who wants to sleep with Miss Princess?" Gwen asked, gesturing her head over to Heather who put her now manicured finger up at Gwen.
"Izzy'll do it. She's met worse people in her life." The ginger girl proceeded to jump into the top bunk from the floor without so much as a thought towards the ladder.
"Well that settles that." Leshawna said with a small chuckle that hid her fear towards Izzy.
"I've been told not to go near high places because I'm a danger to myself." Lindsay mentioned, putting her stuff in one of the bottom bunks while Gwen and Leshawna looked on incredulously. There was no way this girl was that dangerous.
"I'll take the top bunk." Beth said with a smile.
"Omg we can talk about boys and stuff." Lindsay giggled which earned a scoff from Heather, but she didn't say anything further.
"I guess that leaves you and me Baby." Leshawna said with a smile, putting her stuff on the bottom of the last remaining bunk as Gwen put hers on the top.
"I wonder what Chris' first challenge is gonna be?" Beth asked, trying to start up a conversation.
"Well it's the first day, I'm sure it's not going to be that bad." Gwen said with a smile.
BETH: She was so wrong…
HEATHER: So so so so so wrong…
LESHAWNA: Absolutely unbelievably wrong…
The scene cuts to the campers on top of a massive cliff looking down into the ocean below.
"Oh, you've got to be f***ing kidding me!" Gwen exclaimed as the camera cut to black.
