Chris McLean, the critically acclaimed Host With The Most of three seasons of the Total Drama Series (so far), moved in front of the video camera he had situated on a tripod, turned it on with a miraculous amount of ease, and shot the audience watching the live feed his biggest toothy grin. Backing up a few steps, he allowed the lucky viewers a good look at his current whereabouts: a large and dilapidated airfield with a rather familiar jumbo jet just poking its nose into the shot.
"Hey, this is Chris McLean, but I'm sure you already knew that." He then laughed shortly, as if the thought of someone legitimately not knowing who he was happened to be so ridiculous it was laughable. "Anyway," he sighed after he pulled himself together, "let's get down to business, shall we?"
"Here's the deal. I'm sure you guys at home all been hearing rumors about the newest season of Total Drama. How incredibly dramatic, off-the-hook, and wickedly sick - in a good way - it is?" He smiled mischievously for a moment, and then suddenly sobered as he spoke again. "Well, all of that is true. Unfortunately, it's so incredibly true that before any of that footage can be released, our legal team wants to go through it with a super-duper fine toothed comb to avoid any...er...problems. And it's definitely going to take a while. But - " he brightened, "not to worry, guys, I have a brilliant idea that you guys are going to love!" Suddenly, he seized the camera and pointed it at the jet previously serving as nothing but a backdrop.
It was a gargantuan contraption made of what appeared to be patches of cheap scrap metal stuck to the bones of the plane by rusty bent nails or duct tape. A row of murky windows was situated just below the wings on either side and beyond those an entrance/emergency exit which, for reasons unknown, did not feature an actual door. Orange drawings of Chris smiling gaily and clad in his trademark pilot's costume were slapped onto the sides and the tail wing of the plane. It looked, for all intents and purposes, just like the (literally) world-renowned Total Drama Jumbo Jet that was destroyed at the end of Total Drama World Tour. Chris, obviously aware of the remarkable resemblance, chuckled and put the camera back down and focused it on him.
"Anything can be fixed with a little bit of elbow grease." He shrugged. "Of course by elbow grease, I mean a couple of interns, whatever tools they could find around this dump, and a roll of duct tape." Not allowing his vague and slightly worrisome explanation to sink in, he continued without missing a beat. "The Total Drama Jumbo Jet is in sort of okay-ish, probably working condition! Now all I need is a new three-ring traveling teen freakshow!"
"That's right, I'm looking for a group of fifteen teenagers between the ages of fifteen - hey, was that a rhyme? - and eighteen to come with me and Chef Hatchet as we take yet another trip around the world! We're going to hit up all...or maybe just some of the places we missed the first time around. There's going to be challenges, there's going to be drama, there's going to be some other cool stuff, and then at the end of it all, there's going to be fourteen big fat losers and one winner that will walk away from it all with a grand prize of one million dollars! Oh, and since my ears are still ringing from last season, there probably won't be any singing this year." He made a face at some faraway memory before promptly shaking it off. "If you think you're up for the challenge, pick up an audition form at the mall or steal one from that freaky homeschooled kid down the street, fill it out, and send it in along with an audition tape of you telling or showing us why we should pick you to be on the show." Chris' idle smile dropped as his cell phone began to ring. He pulled it out, read the message displayed on the tiny screen, and then grinned widely up at the audience again.
"Now, if you'll excuse me, I have a...er...appointment to go to. Don't forget to get those auditions in ASAP. McLean out!"

Anything Else:
A/N: So, this is an idea that I came up with to pass the time this summer and I'm really hoping it takes off. I should be able to update at least once a week, but I'll let you know if that changes. Please PM me if you have any questions at all or if I forgot something in the application. I hope you'll all consider submitting a character. (Really, I'd be okay accepting two ocs from one person, but only if one is male and one is female to try and keep it even.) Have fun!
