A/N: Hello everyone and welcome to the first episode of Total Drama Big Brother 2! I just wanna start by thanking everyone who submitted an OC for this season and thanks for understanding that I'm in college and might not be able to upload all the time. However, when I have the free time, I will be writing. Anyway, let's get right to this!

Chapter 1- Ready, Set, Drama! Part 1

Chris was filing some paperwork away into a filing cabinet near his desk. He turned around in his chair as he sighed. He was so bored that he would want to watch paint dry. At least, it was something to do. Total Drama Big Brother had come to an end last summer and he was so sad to see it go. A joint season comes and goes just like that. (A/N: Since the first season is still going on, we'll obviously avoid spoilers and add extra details later.)

Julie had called him to thank him for working a season with him and reported that it boosted ratings for both programs. He was glad he got the ratings and even happier he got the rights to his show back. However, he had to promise to tone down the content as a bargain.

"I'm so bored! I can't even think of new ideas for another season." Chris complained.

Chef walked in with lunch for his boss/best friend. He pulled the top off to reveal it to be T-Bone Steak with a few ribs on the side. Chris immediately sat up at the smell of his dish.

"Lunch is served, sir." Chef stated.

"Thanks Chef. You know, you do a lot for me and I don't ever have to repay you back." Chris explained as he started cutting his steak.

"It's the thought that counts." Chef stated.

"I've really learned a lot about myself ever since last summer. I lost the rights to my show and yet it's gotten so big. However, I felt like I was changing a little." Chris explained.

"What do you mean?" Chef asked.

"I'm so ego-driven and greedy. I put so many lives in danger all for the sake of making my show exciting. I guess I got a little over creative." Chris replied.

"It's natural. People affected by star power get a little crazy sometimes." Chef explained.

"More like insane. I think I'm going to start trying to be a better person for now on. I'll even start by giving you a raise." Chris stated with a smile.

"You serious?" Chef asked with a slight gasp.

"Yeah! Ya know what, take a vacation as well. You do a lot for me." Chris replied.

"Oh, thank you, Chris!" Chef exclaimed as he hugged Chris.

Chris felt his spine and a few other bones break from the muscle grip Chef had on him. However, he felt his heart soar as he had done a good deed. It was the least he could do for Chef since he was there when he lost the rights to his show.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Chef was putting his suitcases inside of the taxi trunk. He was heading to the Bahamas for a few weeks and Chris would pay him for relaxing. Chef finished packing as he slammed the trunk shut. He was revealed to be wearing a purple Hawaiian shirt and black dress pants. He was also wearing sunglasses and a straw hat ready for the beach. He turned to Chris, who stuck out his hand.

"I'll see you in a few weeks, partner." Chris stated.

"Thanks again for this Chris. It's sure great to hear how much you respect me." Chef explained.

"You've done a lot for me when I was down and out. You kept me going, dude. Consider this my thanks." Chris stated.

"Well, I'm off. See ya later." Chef finished as he entered the taxi cab lowering the window to wave bye to Chris.

Chris waved bye as the taxi sped off towards the airport where Chef would fly out to his promised vacation spot. Chris was gonna miss having his partner in crime, but it was about time to let him be on his own for awhile.

"He deserves it. He has done so much and I neglected him this whole time." Chris muttered.

Chris heard a buzzing noise from his pocket as he grabbed his phone out. He answered the call and started talking.

"This is Chris. What do you need?" Chris asked.

A mumbling male voice could heard over the phone.

"Oh, hey Tom. Thanks for not telling me about my show being given away." Chris remarked.

The mumbling became serious as Tom seemed to not like Chris's tone.

"Okay, okay, I overstepped my boundaries. So what's up?" Chris asked.

The mumbling calmed down and started explaining something to Chris.

"Another season with Big Brother? Hundreds of applicants? You bet I'm in!" Chris exclaimed with a smile.

The mumbling continued explaining as Chris got more excited.

"I'll head over there first thing in the morning, sir. You won't be disappointed." Chris promised as he ended the call.

Chris ran back to his condo as it seemed he was going to once again co-host another season with Julie Chen. Tom informed him that a new season of the joint show was being greenlit and hundreds of possible houseguests had already sent in auditions. 16 new contestants had been chosen and Chris was ecstatic. This surely killed his boredom.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The cameras were rolling as Julie Chen came on screen with an orange dress on. The audience was silent so she could speak.

"Welcome to yet another summer of the joint show known as Total Drama Big Brother. Last summer, it was 16 former Total Drama contestants entering the Big Brother House for a chance at half a million dollars. That was just the beginning point in a three month race for half a million dollars. In the next two nights, we start a new journey with 16 new houseguests as they battle it out in the house for another $500,000." Julie explained.

Chris comes out from the side of the stage as the crowd turns their attention to him.

"It's going to be just like last season or it could be a whole new adventure of drama. So stick to your seats and watch the fireworks as we get ready for season of Total...Drama…" Chris began.

"Big Brother!" Julie exclaimed.

The crowd cheered as the cameras were rolling and the lights were shining on the new stage. Let the games begin as they say.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Various postcards splash across the screen like "Wish You Were Here", "Expect The Unexpected" and "Twisted Summer."

Mana flashes a peace at the camera while Chasi does a cheerleader pose.

Arnold just gives a death stare at the camera while Dottie writes down her observations on a clipboard before smiling at the camera.

Derek crosses both his arms and smiles while Conor does a spinning wheel kick.

Chowa shrugs her shoulders as Tep does a funny pose.

Sayde smiles and blushes at the camera while Jose flips a switchblade out.

Pierce flashes a thumbs up while Jela crosses her arms and smirks.

Kimberly blows a kiss towards the camera while Brady points at himself.

Joseph tinkers with a remote control before noticing the camera while Ellie does a cartwheel announcing her presence.

The Big Brother logo shows as the Total Drama logo slaps itself on showing the title of the show: Total Drama Big Brother

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The show came back on as the crowd cheers. Julie and Chris stand in front of the house as they the crowd noise die down.

"Welcome back to Total Drama Big Brother! Over the next two nights, we will have 16 new houseguests enter the fray and compete for half a million dollars." Julie explained.

"So who are the new houseguest competing this season? Well, let's just show you. Big Brother producers sent out keys to the applicants that made it on the show. Let's see there reaction." Chris continued as he turned to the monitor.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Conor kicks through a wooden board in the hands of his instructor. They bow to each other while Conor goes off to his gym bag. He sees something on top of it and it was a silver key with the Total Drama Big Brother logo on it.

"You can't be serious." Conor gasped with a smile as he grabbed the key.

The screen shifts to Ellie's room as she heads inside and she sees something wrapped around the neck of one of her teddy bears. She picked it up and saw it was the same silver key. She gasps with excitement.

"OMG! Dad, I got on!" Ellie exclaimed as she ran out of her room to show her father.

The screen shifts to see Chowa and Mana coming through the door to their apartment. They see two silver keys hanging on the coat racks and they grab them hugging each other.

"I can't believe we got on!" Chowa exclaimed.

"This is so exciting!" Mana exclaimed.

Arnold was playing on the XBOX One when he noticed something on the side of the television. He paused his game and went over to pick up his own silver key. He sighed.

"Might as well win this thing." Arnold stated.

Joseph was at his work table when he spotted something on his table lamp. Wrapped around it was a silver key and smiled real big.

"I can't believe I actually got on. This is great!" Joseph exclaimed.

Jose was ducking into an alley near his home as a police car rolled past his way. He hopped onto a dumpster to catch his breath when he caught eye of a silver key attached to the side of the dumpster. He hopped off and grabbed it smirking that he was picked.

Chasi was doing backflips as she stopped on the football field. She turned around to see a silver key attached to one of the benches on the field. She picked it up and saw the logo.

"Yes! I got picked!" Chasi cheered.

Conor was seen at his house packing some things up like some dumbells.

Conor: My name is Conor Fox and I live in Memphis, Tennessee. My real true passion is martial arts. I grew up watching some of my idols and now I have mastered a whole lot of techniques.

Ellie was packing some of her cosplay costumes and some stuffed animals.

Ellie: My name is Ellie Woods from San Diego, California and I'm a cosplayer. I go to all conventions and all Comic-Cons I can with my girls. I just hope the house doesn't think I'm playing dress-up.

Chowa and Mana were packing different clothes as they were excited for the chance.

Chowa: My name is Chowa. Mana: And my name is Mana. Chowa: We're twin sisters from Toronto, Canada, but we were both born in Japan. Mana: We've been there most of our lives so we consider that our home country.

Jose had notified his gang of getting on the show and he was currently packing his things.

Jose: My name is Jose Mendoza, but I prefer if you called me Razor. I'm from Phoenix, Arizona and I'm a street thug mostly. I ride with my gang, because they are the only family I have right now. I'm really hoping to rope in some suckers and get to the end of the game.

Joseph was packing some clothes along with his toolkit.

Joseph: Hi, my name is Joseph Hawkins, but you can call me Joey. I live in Seattle, Washington with my beautiful wife and 14 kids. I'm an inventor so I'm usually in my office working on many different things. Hopefully, I can sell my inventions to many people who need them and make a change for the world. I need my toolkit with me at all times, because you never know when I might get an idea.

Chasi was packing some cute dresses and some of her favorite outfits.

Chasi: My name is Chasi Hara and I'm from Miami, Florida. I'm looking to bring some exciting new experiences to the competition maybe even get a cute boy to like. You just never know with reality television.

Arnold is packing up his clothes and he looks moderately disappointed.

Arnold: My name is Arnold Napolilli and I'm formerly from Venice, Italy, but I moved to Toronto, Canada. I'm not really a people's person, but I guess I have to be since this is a big social game. My sister, Dana, is coming to, but they told me she wasn't gonna be in the game yet. Uncle Ben said he pulled a few strings so I don't know what to expect.

Each houseguest packed up their things moving out of the residencies to start their gameplay.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Julie and Chris appeared on stage as Julie began to announce the arrival of the first eight new houseguests.

"Please welcome Arnold, Chasi, Joseph, Jose, Chowa, Mana, Ellie and Conor!" Julie announced.

The eight new houseguests came onstage as the crowd cheered for them. They all stopped near Chris and Julie as the two hosts turned to them.

"Welcome to Total Drama Big Brother. This is where your summer takes an interesting turn as you eight will battle for the half million dollar prize. It's gonna be hard, but it's time to say goodbye to the outside world." Julie explained.

"I expect high betrayals and drama in there. We have a reputation." Chris added.

"Let's get you all settled in. The first four houseguests moving into the house are...Conor, Chasi, Arnold and Ellie." Julie announced.

The four aforementioned houseguests went inside the house. Arnold opened the door as everyone was stunned in amazement of the house. They all searched around for their beds and rooms. Chasi and Ellie decided to bunk in the Pink Room.

"Hi, my name is Chasi." Chasi greeted.

"I'm Ellie. It's very nice to meet to you." Ellie greeted as she hugged Chasi.

Ellie: It's so exciting being in the Big Brother House. I've watched this show and Total Drama all the time. I think I also just made a new friend in Chasi.

Arnold made his way into the Nature Room as he set his bag down. He saw the tree designs and decided he would fit right into this room.

Arnold: I really love animals so I felt that the Nature Room would fit right up my ally.

Arnold sat on one of the four beds in the room relaxing. Conor was looking into the Rock n Roll Room as he liked what he saw. He sat down his bag on one of the beds before going back outside.

Conor: It's different being in a house with my parents and older brother compared to the seven other houseguests I'm sharing this house. I need to find the right people to align myself with so I don't go out early.

Conor walks into the living room and sees Chasi standing in the kitchen checking it out. He saw how beautiful she was and blushed a little. Chasi turned to see him and giggled.

"Hey there. I'm Chasi." Chasi greeted as she stuck out her hand.

"I'm Conor." Conor greeted, shaking her hand.

Conor: I have to say...Chasi is really cute and beautiful. I may even have to start a showmance while I'm here.

Chasi: Conor looks pretty fit so I assume he must hit the gym a lot which I find pretty attractive. He's very handsome as well.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Back outside, Julie lets the four other houseguests into the house.

"Chowa, Mana, Jose and Joseph...you four may head inside the house." Julie announced.

The four houseguests grab their bags and head inside the house. Jose opens the door and the four are in awe at the house.

Joseph: This house is much bigger than it looks on TV so I'm very amazed at the architecture put into making this house.

Joseph ducked into the Nature Room as he saw Arnold laying with his eyes closed. He concluded Arnold must be sleeping so he decided to not bother him. Jose took a look at the rooms and settled for the Shadow Room. He set a bag down on one of the beds.

Jose: I really liked the Shadow Room, because you can't see very much in that room. Just the way I like it.

Chowa and Mana went inside the Pink Room as they saw Chasi and Ellie. The fours girls got to know and meet each other.

"My name is Ellie. Nice to meet you both." Ellie greeted.

"My name is Chowa and this is my twin sister, Mana. It's nice to meet you both." Chowa greeted, shaking Ellie's hand.

"You both look so much alike." Chasi observed.

"We get that a lot." Chowa stated.

Chowa: Being inside the Big Brother House is a slight adjustment. It's sure bigger than our apartment back home.

Ellie: Chowa and Mana seem like they could be good competitors in this game so that's who I want to align myself with to keep myself in this game. Chasi can even join since she fits the bill as well.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Julie and Chris appeared back onstage as the crowd cheered loudly.

"The first 8 houseguests have been moved into the house and the game has yet to begin. We already have a possible showmance brewing and a possible alliance starting to form." Julie explained.

"It's good to see they are taking this chance to align themselves. However, what will they think when they see that there will be sixteen houseguests." Chris stated.

The camera zoomed in on the monitor as it showed the dining table.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The eight houseguests saw the dining room table with sixteen plates, knives, forks, spoons and chairs. They started getting skeptical.

Chowa: There's sixteen of everything around that table and that stands to say that there will be more people moving in here.

"There's gonna be more people." Joseph explained.

Jose: These people are so paranoid of more houseguests coming in. I'm sitting back and enjoying the show, because it will be easy to pick these people off.

"Who do you think might come in?" Chasi asked.

"Maybe veterans from last season?" Conor suggested.

Conor: It would suck to have eight veterans come back, because they have it easy to pick all of us off one by one. Noah, Alejandro, Anne Maria were some of the ruthless competitors last year and they can pick us off easy.

"I hope no veterans come back." Ellie stated.

"I'm sure there's a reasonable explanation for this." Joseph suggested.

"We need to stick together if that happens." Chasi stated.

Arnold felt a tap on his back and saw Jose motioning him into the spare lounge area.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Arnold and Jose sat down as Jose began the talk.

"So you're Arnold?" Jose asked.

"Yeah, who are you?" Arnold replied.

"I'm Jose, but I prefer to be called Razor if you don't mind. I just you and felt an instant connection." Jose explained.

"Why?" Arnold asked.

"I felt we're alike in some ways. I feel we can get to the end of this game if we stick together." Jose replied.

"Why should I work with you?" Arnold asked.

"I'm a loyal guy. I have my own crew that I run with back home and I would never turn on them. I won't turn on you." Jose replied.

Arnold: Razor puts an offer on the table to work with him, but he seems very shady to me so I might not trust him fully. However, I think it's in my best interest to get an ally just til my sister gets in the house.

"What are your promises?" Arnold asked.

"I'll get you to the finals if I can. I won't ever put you up if I win HOH." Jose replied.

"That's all I wanted. I don't want to be put up and leave so quickly." Arnold stated.

"I promise you as long as we win HOH, we'll be golden." Jose promised.

"So I guess we're in an alliance?" Arnold asked.

"I guess so." Jose replied.

"What should we call ourselves?" Arnold asked.

Arnold and Jose thought for a moment to see what they should call themselves.

"How about Striker's Galore?" Jose asked.

"I like it." Arnold replied.

#Striker'sGalore

Arnold and Jose shook hands as they have formed the first alliance of the season.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Julie appeared on the TV Screen as she had a few announcements.

"Houseguests, please report to the living room." Julie requested.

The eight houseguests reported to the living room seating on the couches.

"Well, I just want to say yet again welcome to the Big Brother House. Now, as you all should know, Big Brother's motto is to expect the unexpected. Which means there will be a twist around every corner and turning point. There is also the highest position in Big Brother known as Head Of Household. The houseguest that wins that position is automatically safe for the week and has to put two houseguests up for eviction. However, this season brings back a competition known as Battle Of The Block. That's right...this twist is originated from Season 16 and 17 so it makes it's return starting tonight. That means over the next few weeks, there will be two Heads Of Household. The two HOH's will nominate two nominees each and those four nominees will battle it out for safety. Whichever pair of nominees wins, they will dethrone the HOH who nominated them." Julie announced.

Ellie: Battle of the Block?! This means more than two people are going up on the block so it's very crucial to win Head Of Household.

Jose: Things just keep getting interesting. This means me and Arnold can both hold the power bringing me closer to the half million dollars.

The houseguests were shocked by the return of the Battle Of The Block twist.

"Speaking of HOH, it's time for the first Head Of Household competition of the summer. Everyone get changed into your swimsuits and head to the backyard." Julie requested.

Everyone got up and headed for their rooms to get their swimsuits. Once they were ready, they headed towards the backyard.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The houseguests came out into the backyard as it was decorated with a movable wall with eight platforms attached to it. Each houseguest climbed the ladder to the platform turning their backs to the wall. There was eight buckets placed on the ground under the platforms. Eight catapults were also shown as Julie's voice came over the intercom.

"Hello houseguests, welcome to the first Head Of Household competition of the summer. This competition is called Rotten Tomatoes. You each are standing on your platforms and you'll be pelted by tomatoes. You must catch the tomatoes with your mouth and drop them into your bucket below. However, this won't be easy as your platforms will shake disturbing your balance. The first houseguest to put 10 tomatoes in their bucket will become the first Head Of Household of the summer. Let's begin." Julie explained.

The catapults started revving up as the flying of tomatoes began and the platforms started shaking a little. Conor got one after being pelted with one dropping it below into his basket. Chowa was next to get one giving her one in her basket.

Chowa: It's a little hard since we only use our teeth to grab the tomatoes with. I just need to be in the perfect position to grab the tomatoes and drop them in the bucket.

Ellie caught one and dropped it into her basket. Conor was able to get another one and drop it into his basket giving him the lead.

Conor: I have mastered various martial arts techniques which means I have a form of precise catching. Wha-cha!

Arnold caught one and dropped it into his bucket giving him one. Chasi was able to catch one dropping it into her bucket. Joseph got one as well and dropped it into his bucket.

Joseph: I'm very used to my inventions catching stuff for me so this is only going to be a win by pure luck.

Mana caught one and dropped it in her bucket giving her one. She caught another one real quick dropping it into her bucket. Chowa gets her second one and drops it down into her bucket tying with Conor and her sister. Joseph caught another tomato and dropped another in his bucket. Mana took the lead dropping another into her basket.

Jose: So it seems this is second nature to everyone, but me. That poses a problem and I only hope me and Arnold can pull out a win.

Mana caught another one and put a fourth tomato in her bucket. Arnold caught his second tomato and dropped it in his bucket. Mana caught her fifth tomato as she dropped it in her bucket with Chowa cheering her sister on. Arnold started catching up as he dropped his third tomato in his bucket. Arnold caught another one and dropped it into his basket. A few minutes later, Arnold caught another one and dropped it into his basket tying with Mana.

Jose: So right out of the blue...Arnold starts catching three tomatoes in a row. I don't know what's gotten into him, but he needs to keep it up so I can stay safe.

Chasi gotten another one dropping it into her bucket making her total two. Conor got his third one in as he had to pick up the pace. Joseph got his third one and dropped it into his bucket. Chasi gets her third one and drops it down into her bucket tying with Conor and Joseph. Conor pushes through with four tomatoes in his bucket. Mana takes the lead with her sixth tomato in her bucket.

Mana: I see Arnold catching up and I need to keep my pace up if I want to keep me and my sister safe this week. I can't let anyone else get ahead.

Arnold catches another one and drops it in his bucket. Conor gets his fifth tomato and drops it into his bucket. Joseph caught his fourth tomato dropping it into his bucket. Conor gets his sixth tomato tying with Mana and Arnold. Jose finally got his first tomato in, but he was hoping Arnold could still win it. Ellie got her second tomato in and dropped it into her bucket. Arnold caught his seventh tomato and dropped it into his basket. Chasi caught her fourth tomato and dropped it into her bucket. Ellie caught her third tomato and dropped it into her basket.

Ellie: I really hope Mana wins, because I can talk with her into keeping me and Chasi safe. I really don't want to be on the block the first week.

Joseph caught his fifth tomato and dropped it into his bucket. Conor pulls into a tie with Arnold as he gets his seventh tomato. Arnold pulls back into the lead with eight tomatoes. Mana gets her seventh tomato in the bucket. Conor pulls back into a tie with 8 tomatoes. Mana makes it a three way tie as they are neck and neck.

"You got this, Mana!" Chowa exclaimed.

Arnold pulls ahead after a few minutes and dropped his ninth tomato in his bucket. Mana gets her ninth tomato into her basket tying with Arnold. Conor pulls back into the tie with his ninth tomato making this a three way tie. Mana gets her last tomato in her mouth and spits it out into her bucket causing a bell to ring.

"Congratulations, Mana, you are the first Head Of Household of the summer!" Julie exclaimed.

Everyone climbed down as Chowa ran over to hug her sister tight. Mana was handed her HOH Key as she raised it proudly. Jose was mad that Arnold never won meaning that they would be vulnerable for eviction.

"Mana has risen to the top and with the Battle Of The Block returning, how will her nominations affect the house? We shall see in due time. On another note, you might've heard Arnold saying his sister, Dana, will be joining the game soon. This is the second twist of the summer. Dana will be giving Arnold helpful advice to advance him through the game. If he can make it through the first five evictions, Dana can enter the game as a houseguest. How will this twist shake up the summer? Only time will tell. Join us tomorrow night as eight new houseguests join the game and move in. We will also crown a second Head Of Household. For right now, let's eavesdrop on the houseguests. From outside the Big Brother House, I'm Julie Chen saying good night." Julie explained as the crowd cheered loudly.

The last image was Mana grabbing a towel to clean herself as various people give her hugs and congratulate her on winning. Jose and Arnold head inside as they had some serious strategizing to do.

A/N: So how did I do for the first episode? How do you like the pairing of Conor x Chasi? I think they could very well be the new Tyler and Lindsay. Also, how do you like Striker's Galore consisting of Jose and Arnold. Leave a review if you liked it and I'll see you for the next chapter of Total...Drama...Big Brother 2!
