Scene: The infamous dock of shame at Camp Wawanakwa in the middle of the day.

Chris: Well Total Drama Island (TDI) and Total Drama Action (TDA) are over and done. So what have we learned so far? Well….for starters, there's about nothing fame and money hungry teenagers won't try for…fame and money. We learned that grueling competition truly brings out the best…yet also the worst in our contestants. More importantly we learned from a slide in ratings during TDA that most viewers preferred this run-down summer camp over an equally run-down studio lot. With these in mind, I am pleased to announce to you, the viewing audience, the beginning of Total…Drama…Island…III!! Return to Wawanakwa. In this season, it will be winner against winner as we pit TDI winner Owen against TDA winner Duncan. Joining them will be eight additional familiar faces from TDI. Also in the mix, a wild card as it were, we will be introducing one additional contestant from the United States to try and all ten of his Canadian counterparts. Who is this mystery camper? How will he be received here? Will we ever have a decent make-up and wardrobe budget for this show? Stay tuned for the exciting new chapter of Total…Drama…Island!!

Begin opening theme song and trailer.

Scene: Back to dock for the arrival of campers.

Chris: Welcome back viewers! Chris McClain here along with Chef awaiting the arrival of our first camper, TDI winner Owen.

Owen, now 18, is still the same old happy-go-lucky, larger-than-life guy with the larger-than-life appetite. So it should come as no surprise to anyone that he is totally stoked to be back.

Chris: Owen…welcome back to Wawanakwa big guy.

Owen: Chris!! (gives Chris a big bear hug) What an awesome pleasure to be back here. This is so…

Chris: (struggling to talk) Awesome.

Owen: Yes…Yes!! Woo Hoo!!!

Chris: Great to have you back Owen. You'll be filled in more about the format of this season once your chief competitor arrives. I do believe I hear his boat arriving now.

Duncan, also 18, is still the same old rebel that most fans fell for in the first two seasons. One quick observation though reveals something different about his demeanor though. It seems decidedly darker. The same angry scowl is there but…there also appears to be some sadness in those cold and distant aqua eyes.

Chris: Duncan…And how has our resident bad boy been doing.

Duncan: Stuff it Chris. I really don't won't to be here right now but since I'm obligated once again to endure this crap…I would like to deal with it without any pleasantries from anyone and that goes double for big guy (referring to Owen).

Owen: Geez Duncan…that wasn't your attitude going into the second season. I recall you were actually excited about it.

Duncan: Yeah well…that was then. Things are different now. How can I get excited about anything ever again since…Has Chris even told you what's happened…

Chris: Na ah ah Duncan…all in good time. We'll visit your recent past in more detail a bit later. First off though, I need to cover the format for the season.

Chris went on to explain the format of season III. Duncan and Owen were to head up two teams of five campers. They were to choose their four team members from the group of eight returning campers from the previous seasons. These eight were currently on their way. As for the lone American…well that was left to be found out at a later time. During this briefing, Duncan and Chris let Owen in on the recent events in Duncan's life.

Owen: Whoa…Duncan…I'm so sorry to hear…look…if you need to talk about it, I'm here.

Duncan: Yeah…yeah…that's the same line I've been getting like a hundred times already. This isn't some counseling trip though. I'm here to compete in this stupid show and that's it. So if you think for one minute Chris that I'll be pouring my heart out on live TV and sobbing like a little kid in front of millions, you better think again.

Chris: Chill dude. Save some of that drama for later. Anyway…are their any questions from you two about how this will go down?

Owen: I have one…just because we're team leaders, doesn't make us immune throughout the whole contest does it?

Duncan: Of course not genius. I bet that we are still as likely to be voted off in the first episode as anyone else. After all, what better drama is there than to have the remaining campers fighting of the vacated team leader position.

Chris: Too true Duncan. Still you two will have guaranteed immunity through the first three episodes. Well if there are no other questions then I suggest we start welcoming back the fan favorites that will comprise your teams. Here's the first one coming now.

In the boat stood 18 year old Gwen, the TDI runner-up. She's still very much the loner who prefers to share her feelings in her diary than with a fellow human being. Her overall disposition was real good though given the fact that she and Trent still had a steady relationship. She was so hoping that Trent would be joining her. That was left to be seen as the identity of all the contestants were not made known to them. They would have to find out like everyone else.

Chris: Welcome back Gwen.

Gwen: Thanks. You know I thought it'd be lot different coming back here since I had an idea of what to expect.

Owen: Well…was it different?

Gwen: Nope…still the same slightly nauseating feel this place gave me the first time I saw it. It's nice seeing you again Owen and Duncan…I heard about…

Duncan: Just save it ok Gwen. I'm not very receptive to sympathy right now.

Gwen: Whatever…anyways it's nice seeing you again. So Chris…who else is returning?

Chris: Well I see our second fan favorite coming right now.

Duncan: Oh you got to be kidding me. He's a fan favorite?!

Owen: Well…he did finish as the runner-up to you in TDA.

They would be referring to known other than super weird TDI and TDA alum Harold. Still the same scrawny guy at age 18 but with way more swagger after almost winning TDA and still being able to keep his relationship with Leshawna Even though he had been forgiving by both Duncan and Courtney, Harold knew that, given recent events, Duncan would have a short fuse, especially toward him. He only hoped Leshawna had been picked by the fans. He couldn't imagine going through this new season without her.

Chris: Harold…welcome back to Wawanakwa. I must commend you on an unexpectedly killer performance on TDA last year.

Harold: Well I'm all about the unexpected Chris. I figure the third time's the charm and my mad skills will take me to victory.

Chris: Y…eah. Well good luck with that Harold.

Harold: Once again I offer my congratulations to you Duncan for your victory over me and also I…

Duncan: Look…I appreciate your gracious concession to me and I respect you for how good a competitor you were last year. That being said…if you say anything closely resembling I'm here for you or if you need to talk or anything like that, I will snap you like a twig. Got it.

Harold: Fine….Gah!!

Gwen: Don't take it personal Harold. We all receive a similar greeting from the great brooding beast already.

Chris: Well I know for a fact Gwen that you'll have a warm reception for our next fan favorite. Also Owen you'll be happy to the other fan favorite arriving with him.

On the next boat were Trent and Izzy. Both 18 now but still with the same personalities. Izzy was still a mental case to say the least and Trent was still the friendly musician. On seeing Owen and Gwen, both Izzy and Trent could not wait for the boat to dock. They immediately jumped at and swam to the dock. Izzy, of course, ended up swimming directly into the dock.

All: Ohhhhh

Owen: Izzy…are you ok?

Izzy: (leaps out at Owen) Owen!!

She then proceeded to tell him about all her crazy adventures she's been on since TDA. In the meantime Gwen began to help Trent up onto the dock.

Gwen: Trent you nut. You're going to ruin your guitar.

Trent: No worries babe. It's been through worse. So how have you been?

Her answer was a kiss that they shared for a good while. So to did Owen and Izzy lock lips while Duncan looked away, holding back the tears.

Chris: Ahem…if we are all through with the make-out fest. I would like to welcome the final four fan favorites.

Owen: They are coming in one boat?

Chris: Yeah…we had to cut back on our boat fuel budget a bit. Anyway here they come now.

Waving excitedly in the direction of Gwen, Trent, and Owen were Leshawna and Cody at the front of the boat.

Harold: Yes…my fair Leshawna made the cut.

All four remaining contestants are 18. Cody is still the same geeky prep while Leshawna is still the big and loud mass of competitiveness wrapped in one ghetto-fabulous package. Speaking of competitive, not far behind Leshawna and Cody is Heather. She couldn't believe she was stuck yet again with this bunch of losers. As with the last two contests, her goal was to win at all cost. In the back of the boat, book in hand was Noah. A fan favorite mainly due to his sarcastic wit and handsome features. He wasn't much thrilled with the prospect of competing once again on TV for the whole world to see. Still his arrogant side relished in the fact that he was considered a fan favorite.

Chris: Welcome back to Camp Wawanakwa Cody, Leshawna, Heather, and Noah.

Gwen: I can't believe this. You've been voted a fan favorite. How in the world could that be?

Heather: I'm just that perfect combination of brains, beauty, and…

Noah: Boobies…that's probably the third B you're looking for.

Well it didn't take long for Noah to end up in the water after that remark.

Heather: I was going to say cunning thank you very much.

Everyone is still giggling a little from Noah's comment at this point. Cody then starts to chat with Gwen.

Cody: Hey Gwen. I'm so glad to see you've been chosen to be a part of this.

Gwen: Thanks Cody. I'm glad you're here to. How have you been since TDI?

Cody: Great. I have a girlfriend now. Her name is Amanda. Here… (shows Gwen and Trent Amanda's picture) …she's not you but in a way that's really a good thing.

Gwen. Uhhh…thanks…I guess.

Trent: Well I'm thrilled for you man. Nice going.

And now Leshawna and Harold do some catching up.

Duncan: Come on people. Can we knock off the love fest and get down to some business for a change?

Heather: I agree with the delinquent troll for a change. What will we be doing this time around Chris?

Chris: Well Heather it's quite simple. Duncan and Owen will be choosing teams. Once the two teams are assigned, we will be welcoming in yet another camper, an American by the name of Cobalt Graham. He was chosen mainly because he has traits similar to each and everyone of you here. We had to go all the way down to Savannah, GA to find him. He's very competitive. Plays as a catcher for his high school baseball team as well as a wide receiver for the football team. He's not just an athlete, he's a scholar athlete. Straight A's throughout high school. He just recently graduated from high school and has already been accepted to the University of Georgia where he will most likely be playing football if he makes the cut. He's friendly and compassionate and is also not afraid to be unique and a little odd at times. He's also very mischievous.

Izzy: Oohhh Izzy like him already.

Duncan: Hold it…you said he shared traits with all of us. I've yet to hear one thing that makes him similar to me.

Chris: Oh…you'd be surprised dude just how much he shares with you.

Heather: Great…so when does Captain America actually arrive.

Chris: Tomorrow. The same time Duncan and Owen will be picking teams. So…go get some dinner, do some catching-up…whatever. Just be back in this spot tomorrow and you return as well viewers for the next episode of Total…Drama…Island…III.
