The scene first opens by fading into a lovely sunny day. Covering its background is the clean, beautiful, and peaceful body of water, making soothing sound effects. In the farther background was a clear blue sky with scattered clouds. There were cliffs on the shore of several rolling, pine-covered hills. Their shapes served as evidence of wind, water, and ice elemental effects for the past several thousand years. In the foreground was a wooden dock, worn with use and close to collapsing.

Suddenly, a seemingly young man pops into view! He popped onto camera from below with a bright, white smile. He looked young and handsome, possibly in his late twenties or early thirties. His well-styled gelled black hair correlated with the majestic eyes and peach skin tone. He also had the perfect right amount of stubble. His outfit consisted of a dark blue khaki shirt, brown pants, and white shoes. He had a long sleeved white shirt underneath that exposed part of his undershirt. He also had on a brown bag shaped necklace. Despite being dressed in a casual style suitable for the outdoors, his clothes were very clean and full of high quality nonetheless.

"Yo, what's up everyone?!" The man greeted with enthusiasm. "Welcome to the preview of our newest and hottest reality TV show worldwide, Total Drama Island! We're coming at you live from Camp Wawanakwa, located here, on an island in Muskoka, Northern Ontario!" His tone was one with excitement and an appropriate level of professionalism.

"I am your absolutely stunning and handsome host, Chris Mclean!" He continued. "It's time to begin our show's preview, right now!"

Background music began to play as Chris is now walking down the dock left and right continuously while explaining his show.

"Here's how this show works; twenty-four teenagers all out of their tenth grade sophomore year have signed up to spend multiple weeks here, at Camp Wawanakwa!" He stops moving and speaking upon reaching the dock's end. Behind him was a sign with the camp's name on it. Despite the obvious low quality of it, he still smiled with pure joyfulness.

"They'll have to live with one another as camp mates until they're voted out, but we'll get onto that part later on." Chris continued to explain. "Every three days, all of them will compete in challenges against each other where the winners get awesome rewards! The losers, will not only face judgment of their fellow camp mates, but also take part in our dramatic campfire ceremony!"

The scene switches to another new part of camp. He's now standing on a clearing surrounded by large rocks. To his right was a tall wooden entrance and an upright metal oil drum. There appeared to be a second entrance in the form of small staircases, carved into stone. In the center was a fire pit, all burnt out because it was daytime currently. There was also a group of twenty-four stumps to serve as seating located near the rocks.

"This, is the location of our campfire ceremony. The losers, or everyone once we hit a certain number of campers, will report here. This dreaded yet dramatic campfire ceremony will eliminate one camper after each challenge. They'll vote out one of their camp mates and that person will not receive, a marshmallow." Chris pulls out a marshmallow from his pocket before eating it. After swallowing and finishing it, he continues to explain.

"Whoever received the most votes will then walk away empty-handed, officially eliminated from our competition. That person will walk down the dock of shame, take a ride on our loser's boat," Chris stops to chuckle for a second. "And leave the island for good!" He chuckles again before picking up a stick with an untoasted marshmallow on top off-screen.

"Now, whoever makes it to the finale and wins, he or she will not only be rewarded with cheesy tabloid fame," Chris uses his remaining free hand to pick up a magazine off-screen. Upon zooming in, his face is on the front cover. He then throws the stick and magazine off-screen before finishing his sentence. "And, the ultimate prize of ONE… MILLION… DOLLARS!" He throws his arms up for emphasis before putting them back down.

"Of course, even though they'll probably spend all of the money within a few months, that is still some great cash to win right there!" Chris chuckles again for the third time.

"To survive this place, they'll be forced into battle against the dangerous wild animals!" The scene switches to a gigantic brown bear roaring menacingly loud while swiping away at multiple black flies.

"They'll also have to battle disgusting camp food!" The scene switches to a bowl of white rice and yellow insect larvaes being shown that will make anybody's stomach feel queasy.

"Ultimately, their main battle will be against each other!" The scene switches back to Chris Mclean, who's still smiling. He's now standing back on the dock's end again like earlier.

"Every public moment will be caught on one of these cameras, hidden all over camp! Of course, there won't be any cameras in private areas for obvious reasons! These hundreds of cameras will make them well-known and famous guaranteed!" The scene changes again to more shots of camp that has cameras placed for filming. There was a waterproof camera that was floating on some small lifebuoy, facing towards the dock's front. It switches to an out-of-place totem pole with a camera duct-taped on its side, near the top. The scene then switches back to Chris again, still at his spot unmoved.

"Alright, now that you have gotten an idea of how our game will work along with some Camp Wawanakwa preview, it's time to move onto the final announcement!" Chris exclaimed, still maintaining his excitement.

"Before we can even begin our show, we'll need twenty-four vic- I mean, contestants! On my website, you'll find the official Total Drama application to fill out for submission. Simply follow all of the rules on there, complete everything that's required, and pretty soon, you'll be joining this show! Anyways, I'm Chris Mclean," He points at himself. "And this was the official preview of

ISLAND!" The point-of-view changed to a far zoomed back focus. It was done to emphasize the host's last three words. Shortly after, the scene faded away into static blackness.

Author's Note – Okay, first of all, thank you for reading this entire chapter! I know it wasn't the most interesting, but we'll get to our drama chapters soon! Anyways, just know that this is my very first story for Fan Fiction as I'm not really experienced in writing long stories, let alone a season or series. I am, however, very familiar with the OC application concepts so no assistance will be required in that particular area. You can go check out my profile page if you're interested in learning more about me on a personal level. I am also available for messaging in my private message inbox if you need advice, questions answered, or just want a random chat! I cannot, unfortunately, communicate well through the reviews so try to make an account; it doesn't take long! My uploading schedule will vary, depending on the amount of school work I have. I will still be on Fan Fiction everyday, possibly reading other stories or answering messages. Lastly, be sure to give this story lots of love through favorites, follows, and reviews! Peace out!

3. Speaking of gender, I unfortunately cannot accept any transgender characters. Your character must be either a guy or girl. I have absolutely nothing hateful against them, it just makes writing this story a lot easier. I strongly apologize for this rule, so please don't come after me with threats!
