Chris McLean stood poised on the dock, ready to begin his trademark spiel. With a smile to the camera, Chris exclaimed, "Previously on Total Drama Island, we watched the campers struggle vainly to win $100,000, forming alliances and rivalries. Surprisingly, Owen the underachiever came out on top. On Total Drama Action, we invited back many of our campers and made them into actors as they performed their way to victory, well at least in one lucky cast member's case. Strangely, some of you weren't happy with the whittling down of the campers and want to see some of those rejects like Eva, Katie, Sadie, Tyler, Noah, Cody, and Ezekiel competing again. Why? I have no idea, I mean hello they didn't create much drama and are not nearly as attractive as moi. Anyways, stay tuned for the excitement as all 22 of our original campers compete in another season at Camp Wawanakwa in Total Drama Redux!"
Theme Song Plays:
As it begins, the screen has wavy lines over it like a television rewinding. DJ is then seen running past the dock chased by a bear. The camera then pans up into a tree where Izzy and Eva are looking down and pounce on the bear as it runs past. Noah then pops up from a bush, looks around, and ducks as a football flies by low over his head and smashes into Tyler who crumples to the ground. Lindsay quickly races over, checks if Tyler is alright, and begins talking to the football as Beth tries to explain to Lindsay who Tyler is. The camera then pans to Duncan who threw the football who stops laughing as he sees Courtney walk past. Before he is able to talk to her, she takes off after Harold and chases him into the woods, followed closely by Leshawna. The camera then goes down a different path where Ezekiel is practicing moose calls as Katie and Sadie eat blueberries. Suddenly a moose shows up and the three climb up into the trees. Justin walks into the clearing, and the moose ceases its charge to gaze at Justin while Sadie falls out of the tree due to being so distracted followed closely by Owen falling starry eyed out of another tree where he had been talking to the birds. Bridgette and Geoff are then seen making out on the beach as Trent plays his guitar looking forlornly at Gwen who shoots him one glance before slowly walking away to talk to Cody who had been strumming an air guitar. The campers are then all shown gathered on the porches of the cabins, gazing at Chris and Chef standing before a roaring fire.
"Welcome to Total Dram Redux! As you all know our campers, after all you're the ones who demanded their return, we have decided to skip their arrivals on the island so you can spend more time watching what you really want to see. Me. Chris McLean. I have spent my time ensuring that this season will be even more thrilling with backstabbing, friendship, insanity, and maybe even love. I mean really, these campers know how to stir up the drama, but hey a little push in the right direction is just a bonus. Upon arriving, our campers and their luggage were shuttled into the mess hall to await further instructions and their challenge. But just in case you are a first time viewer, we're going to show you some of their experiences since Total Drama Action and how they reacted to the exciting news of a new season as captured by our cameramen when we dropped off their letters."
Bridgette and Geoff
Bridgette was working at the Surf Shack when suddenly Geoff came running over to her, frantically waving his hat to get her attention. Bridgette finished serving a customer and then turned and waved to Geoff. "You know my break isn't for another hour, right?"
"Chyeah Babe, but you're going to want to hear this!" Geoff shouted as he showed Bridgette the letters they had received. "We're going to be on another season!"
Bridgette paused for a moment but then frowned. "But then we won't have as much time together, well unless we want to get eliminated first. Everyone was pretty mad at us, remember?"
"No one would stay mad for that long, Bridge," Geoff reassured her. "Besides, we can totally have a huge party to celebrate being back together again! I haven't seen some of the guys in ages."
"Well, it will be good to see everyone again, and mom and I could use the money to help expand her protection of the oceans campaign," Bridgette admitted as she leaned in and gave Geoff a quick kiss. "And thanks for visiting."
"Sure thing!" Geoff agreed as he returned Bridgette's kiss and quickly began making out with her.
"Excuse me, but I think you should be working, not making out!" a customer snapped, causing Bridgette to jerk away from Geoff and blush in embarrassment.
"Sorry! I'll get right to it!" Bridgette apologized. After getting rid of the line, Bridgette turned to Geoff and added. "We need to make sure that doesn't happen again, and especially not on the show!"
"Sure thing, Bridge! It won't happen. So, can I get a kiss for the road?" Geoff begged as he prepared to leave.
Bridgette thought about it for a moment but leaned in and gave Geoff a quick kiss. "Ok, but now I really have to get back to work until my break."
"See you then, and after work!" Geoff called happily.
"Well, no, I have to help my mom with an awareness campaign for ocean protection tonight, but maybe after that."
"Oh, cool," Geoff agreed as he waved goodbye to Bridgette and went to tell his parents about the new season.
Ezekiel
Ezekiel dragged himself over to the mailbox and pulled it open and as per usual a huge rush of mail poured out of it. Ezekiel shuffled through the letters and tossed them all into the trash until he noticed one that didn't seem to be a piece of hatemail for his sexist comments. He opened it up and read the invitation to another season of Total Drama. He considered if for a moment before shouting happily, "Ma, Pa, I got onto the next season of Total Drama! Now I can win and stop gettin' all these nasty letters. Plus, Bridgette will totally see how buffed I've gotten."
"Just don't get voted out furst, eh son?" his father called as Ezekiel blushed but nodded with resolve.
"Ain't no way that'd happen again. I've been training fur this, so I'm going to win!" Ezekiel agreed as he began packing for the game.
"And remember to respect the girls!" Ezekiel's mother added as she began packing things Ezekiel would need but was forgetting in his haste.
Leshawna
"And the winner of 'Can You Dodge This?' is Leshawna!" announced the host as Leshawna's competitor was sent flying after being struck by a trashcan.
Leshawna eagerly ran over to the host and received her $10,000 prize. "Whoo yeah! A little trash ain't gonna stop Leshawna. Now to give half of it to my family and donate the rest to charity."
"And we have another prize for you!" the announcer added as he opened an envelope. "You get to compete on the next season of Total Drama!"
Leshawna's eyes went wide in shock before she answered. "This sister might have Reality Show Fever, but there ain't no way she's going back on that horrible show!"
The announcer paused a moment and skimmed the letter. "You have a contract, so I don't think you have a choice."
Leshawna seethed before complaining, "Then I'm going to smack that host upside the head when I get there, but this season, no loud-mouthed brat is going to stop me from winning!" Leshawna then blew a kiss to the camera and left with her prize money. Offstage, she noticed she had a text from Heather who was lamenting the next season as well. Leshawna chuckled and the two began strategizing how to use their new friendship to their advantage since Harold was the only other competitor who really know about it.
Eva
Eva tossed her dufflebag onto the floor after returning from the gym and began preparing a snack. "You've got a letter on the table," Eva's mother called.
Eva slammed the refrigerator shut and began munching on her snack as she tore open the letter. Despite her initial annoyance, Eva eventually smirked slightly. "Perfect. Now I can get revenge on Heather and maybe win some money in the process. Too bad I have to put up with all those backstabbers again though."
"What is it?" her mother called as she reentered the room and scooped up Eva's bag.
"Another season of Total Drama," Eva answered quickly as she swallowed the last of her food. "And this time, I'm going to pulverize the rest of the competition and win!"
"Remember your anger management classes!" Eva's mother rebuked her as she pointed out the camera which Eva grabbed and carried it to her room.
"I might not have won Total Drama Island thanks to backstabbing teammates, but I have won plenty of other competitions since then." Eva panned the camera across her racks of trophies and medals. "And Total Drama is just my next target." Eva paused in thought before responding. "I've had enough of this interview." She then crushed the lens of the camera causing everything to go black.
Katie and Sadie
Katie finished stitching the logo onto a pair of pants and held it up to show Sadie. "Ok, like, how does this look?"
"Ohmygosh! That is so awesome, but like everything you make is so good!" Sadie gushed as she examined the pants.
"Aww, but it was your design that made it so good!" Katie argued as she neatly folded the pants and put them aside. "I just wish other people noticed how awesome our clothes were!"
"Me too!" Sadie agreed as she began flipping through her design book. "I mean, we haven't even had a single order and we've been making them like all summer. Maybe we should just sell ice cream again. At least that was super yummy when we didn't sell enough."
"But we totally just ended up eating most of it anyways," Katie responded as she jumped off Sadie's bed. "Besides, our fashions are like totally awesome so we like just need people to see them and maybe like a little more money."
"That's true, but like there's not much we can do about that," Sadie responded as she paused for a moment. "I'm going to get a snack."
"I was just getting hungry too!" Katie agreed as the two darted out of the room.
In the kitchen, Sadie noticed a letter and tore it open as Katie began making a fruit salad. "Eeeeeiii!" Sadie exclaimed as she waved the letter excitedly. "There's going to be another season of Total Drama! This is just what we needed."
Katie looked at Sadie in confusion and asked, "Uh, why?"
"Because, we can take our designs on the show to show them to everyone and win lots of money, silly!" Sadie replied excitedly as she began hugging Katie.
The two eeeied together before running off to start packing. "Wait, like when is it?" Katie asked.
"Who cares? We're going to win, and like it'll be so much fun!" Sadie answered as the duo ran to Katie's house to help her organize.
Owen
"Owen, honey, where are you?" his mother called as she walked through the house looking for him.
"In the cheese cellar!" Owen called back excitedly.
"Dear, you know there hasn't been cheese down there since you went off your diet and ate it all, gained 30 pounds, and lost most of it again. Although, we're really happy that you were able to earn all that money for celebrity appearances of the Owen diet though to get rid of our debt from the cheese cellar! It almost makes me want to diet too, but not quite," his mother gushed as she finally located Owen and pulled him into a hug.
"I know, but it still smells great down here!" Owen answered with a chuckle. "So, is it dinner time?"
"Not yet, but I brought you some mail," his mother explained as Owen took the letter and sniffed it.
"No gravy," he informed her sadly. "Great Caesar Salad! There's another season of Total Drama. Maybe I can even win again!"
"Oooh! We'll be rooting for you dear, but don't try too hard. You don't want to get all tired out after all."
"I won't, Mom! Boy, I can't wait to see everyone again. Especially Izzy!" Owen exclaimed happily as he relaxed in the cellar.
Noah
Noah quickly skimmed the letter from Chris before balling it up and tossing it aside. "Great, another chance to be humiliated on national television. At least Chris didn't give us any information except a date for the competition."
As Noah tried to decide what to bring with him, the door to his room suddenly flew open and one of his older brothers popped in. "There you are, twerp. Mom says to stop reading and help around the house."
"I'll get to it," Noah responded dismissively as he shut the door again and finished his preparations. "Well, at least there's no way to do worse than first off my team, so the bar's nice and low. And maybe this time, my team will value brains over beauty and keep me around. Or not. It's just Chris's stupid game either way."
Noticing the camera, Noah rolled his eyes and disconnected it, causing the transmission to end.
Trent
Hearing his dad return home, Trent went downstairs to begin preparing dinner. As he passed his dad, his dad sighed and handed Trent a letter. "This season, try not to go totally psycho and cheat, ok? It was very bad for business last time."
"Next season?" Trent wondered in confusion as he tore looked at the letter his dad had handed him and quickly began skimming it.
"Yes, another season of shame for your mother and me as we watch you waste your time on Gwen and your guitar."
"Hey, Gwen and I really had something, and she's going to see it my way when we're back together again on the show!" Trent protested as his mind suddenly switched to writing a song for Gwen and he prepared to dart back up the stairs.
"Hmmph," his father responded dismissively. "If you'd only put this much effort into your studies, maybe you'd have a decent future."
"Whatever, Dad. I'm going to win this season and Gwen before it's over!" Trent protested as he abandoned the dinner and took the letter back to his room.
Heather
After reading the announcement of the next season, Heather smiled and flipped on her webcam to begin recording a blog entry. "Hello, Heather fans! This is Heather with a huge scoop for you. The next season of Total Drama is going to be starting soon, and your fabulous star Heather is going to take it all! No one, especially not weird Goth Girl, is going to get in my way this time, and you can count on me getting that freak taken out early while I win the whole season. I'm going to win, and none of them are going to stop me!"
"Heather, do you have a minute?" her mother called, causing Heather to purse her lips in annoyance and flip the camera off.
"I'm in the middle or recording a blog about how I'm going to crush the competition. This better be important," Heather shot back in annoyance.
"Oh, but couldn't you try to at least make friends this season?" her mother begged. "I mean, you don't want to end up bald again."
Heather considered her mother's warning for a moment before conceding, "Well, I'll try, but I make no promises."
Heather then spun back to her camera and resumed filming with a large smile. "So, if you want a dramatic season, make sure to follow my blog and stay tuned for updates!"
Gwen
After seeing Heather's video blog, Gwen quickly ran to check her mail. "You have got to be kidding me! A third season? Hasn't he tortured us enough?"
Gwen quickly began recording her own blog to combat Heather. "So Heather thinks she's going to win this season? Yeah right. No one with half a brain is going to trust her, and I doubt even Lindsay will think working with Heather is a good idea. I can't believe Chris is still forcing us to compete, but the third time is lucky. Maybe I'll even win it all!"
Gwen paused for a moment in thought before adding, "At least I'll get to see all my friends again. I mean, it's been way too long since I saw DJ, Bridgette, Leshawna, Duncan, and Trent." Gwen blushed slightly before continuing. "But I don't think seeing them is enough to make me want to put up with the monster that is Chris McLean. Anyways, to my loyal viewers, I ask that you don't watch the show so that it finally gets canceled and Chris lets us go!" Gwen then blew the hair off her face in a huff and stopped recording.
Tyler
Tyler had just returned home from a basketball game during which he had tried to go for a slam dunk only to rebound off the backboard and send himself flying through the other team's basket. On the way back, he had grabbed the mail and found his invitation to appear on the next season of Total Drama. "Yes! Finally I can get all those sports endorsements and see my girl Lindsay again!" he cried excitedly.
Tyler's father walked over and examined the letter as well. "Listen, son, I know I told you never to quit, but maybe you should sit this one out. You were an embarrassment last time on it." His father walked away muttering about chickens and how he couldn't believe how unathletic his son was.
Tyler looked crestfallen for a moment but he quickly perked back up. "There's no way that would happen again. This time, this guy is going all the way to the top. Plus, then Lindsay will so have to remember my name and who I am!" Tyler turned to give his dad a thumbs up but tripped over a shoe on the ground, crashing to it in a heap while his father shook his head in shame.
Justin
"Listen, Justin, I know you want to show the world that you have what it takes to win Total Drama, but it's not worth it. You don't need the money and you could lose all your modeling contracts if you get horribly injured again," Justin's agent warned him.
"I don't care about the money," Justin answered calmly. "I just want to show that I'm more than a pretty face and continue to promote my fabulous body. Besides, with all the new modeling techniques we've been working on, I'll have all the girls under my thumb and avoid injury."
Justin's agent paced nervously but realized he was going to have little luck changing Justin's mind. Reluctantly, he conceded, "Fine, but you're probably going to need to get a better alliance than just using your looks. Oh, and getting a girlfriend would be good for ratings too."
"I'll think about it," Justin responded with a smirk. "But mark this. By the time this season's over, everyone will know my name."
Duncan
Duncan was at the phone in the juvenile detention center while his mother anxiously was talking to him. "Good new honey! There's another season of Total Drama about to start, and you're just about due for release anyways."
"Another season with Chris? I'd rather stay here," Duncan groaned as he prepared to hang up.
"How can you say that? Besides, that money you won last time really came in handy for all your trials and legal fees. Oh, I just don't know why you would steal after all that!" his mother lamented.
"Change of pace," Duncan answered with a shrug as he hung up. "Well, at least I'll get to see Princess again. As much as she creases me some of the time, she's still totally hot!" Realizing he hadn't asked for any details about the season, Duncan slapped his head in frustration as he was escorted away by a guard.
Courtney
Courtney was seated with her announcement of the next season in front of her and angrily shouted into her phone, "What do you mean I have to do the next season? There must be some loophole in my contract! Besides, I don't even need the money after all the lawsuits we've won against the show." Courtney paused a moment as she listened to her lawyers before screaming in frustration, "I don't remember that agreement as part of the settlement! Ugh, fine," before disconnecting.
Her mother then came up and tried to calm her down. When Courtney seemed to be at least a little calmer, her mother reminded her, "You can do this, Court, but you can't let anything get in your way, especially not that delinquent!"
"Duncan and I aren't together anymore," Courtney protested as a small smile played on her face. "Although, I can't say I wouldn't mind seeing him again."
"You can't do that. It's an embarrassment to you. How will you ever be anything if they can pull up footage of you making out with a convict or worse, breaking the rules with him!"
Courtney's eyes grew wide at the realization and she was unable to come up with a response. Eventually, she conceded, "You're right, Mom. I won't hook back up with Duncan."
"I knew you'd see it my way. Now you better get training. This season, the competition is yours!" Courtney's mom gave her a reassuring squeeze on the shoulder before leaving while Courtney nervously bit her lip.
Cody
Cody carefully scouted his yard for any signs of motion before cautiously treading over to this mailbox. He grabbed the mail and darted inside with a relieved sigh.
"And what was that all about?" his mother asked him with an amused laugh.
"I'm telling you this crazy girl with pink hair has been stalking me since last season! I had to make sure she wasn't out there." Cody then prepared to open his letter only to realize it had already been open and poorly resealed.
"I'm sure you're just imagining things sweetie. You've just been watching too much TV and playing too many video games is all."
"There's really someone following me!" Cody protested before finishing the letter. "Well, looks like I've got another chance with Gwen and another chance at a million bucks at least!"
A voice outside seemed to squeal loudly and yell, "Oh you can so win this time Cody, but that Gwen better stay away from you Cody-wodykins."
"Did you hear that?" Cody gasped in horror.
"Hear what?" his mother responded with a concerned look.
"Uh nevermind. I must have just been thinking about winning is all," Cody responded in an attempt to change the subject.
Harold
After returning from Lifeguard Steve's Survival Camp, Harold began sorting through his stack of mail. Noticing the letter from Chris, Harold excitedly tore it open. "Yes! Another chance to show the world my sweet skills and my new skills. Plus, I'll get to spend so much more time with Leshawna!"
Harold eagerly dialed Leshawna's number to confirm that she was participating as well. "What's up baby? How was your camp?" Leshawna exclaimed when she answered the phone.
"Sweet," Harold answered excitedly. "So, are you like, going to be on the next season of Total Drama and stuff?"
"Is there any doubt that this fab sister wouldn't be?" Leshawna laughed. "But more importantly, I think the two of us have a little catching up to do. What do you say you come over to my place?"
"Sure. And if there's any water or other dangers, I'll protect you, milady," Harold pronounced causing Leshawna to laugh again.
"Whatever you say, Stringbean."
Beth and Lindsay
Beth excitedly called Lindsay after hearing about the next season of Total Drama, "Oh my gosh, Lindsay! We get to be on TV again, and we'll get to hang out. We so haven't done that enough since we got back from Paris!"
"I so know what you mean. I mean, France was super fun and we got to do all the best shopping, but like you made it so much better. Wait, this is Bertha, right?" Lindsay responded in confusion. "Wait, what's Total Drama?"
Beth slapped her forehead in frustration. "You know, the reality show we competed on for two seasons!"
"Oh yeah," Lindsay responded despite only somewhat following Beth. "So, how was your date with Brandy yesterday?"
"Uh, Brady and I are," Beth trailed off before perking back up, "Great! Yup, never better. I better get going now, bye Lindsay!"
"Bye Betty!" Lindsay responded as she hung up and her parents entered her room.
"Sweetie, you know we don't want you talking to that disgusting common girl," her father began.
"You're so much better than her dear, so I want you to promise us that you won't be best friends with Beth anymore," her mother added.
"That was like so the first season when Beth and I were best friends until she turned out to be using me," Lindsay protested. "I'm totally not even friend with her anymore!"
Lindsay's parents exchanged a worried look and whispered between the two of them. "On second thought, you can be friends with Beth, but we also want you to learn everyone's name before the season," her mother requested.
Lindsay frowned for a moment before agreeing. "It'll probably give my brain a major owie, but I'll try." Lindsay's parents smiled and left the room as Lindsay began selecting the best outfits for being on TV again.
DJ
DJ left the animal shelter with a smile as he prepared to head home. He had been able to help several pets find a good home and he knew he was making both his Mama and his bunny happy. When he arrived at home, his mother immediately sat him down at the table. "DJ, you've been invited to another season of Total Drama, and I hope this time, you'll be able to leave with your integrity intact!"
"Of course, Mama!" DJ answered quickly only to receive a slap to the head.
"Did I say I was done talking? Anyways, we could use that money, but I didn't raise no cheater, so play fair, you hear me!" DJ's Mama stared intently at DJ and when she didn't receive a response hit him again. "Well answer me already!"
"Sorry, Mama. I'll play fair, and make you proud this time. You can count on me!" DJ responded before giving his mother a big hug.
Izzy
A flash suddenly zips past the camera as Izzy tears through the room. The camera then jerks downward suddenly onto Izzy's face. "Ha ha! Izzy knew this was here. In fact, she was watching Chris earlier on the cameras she installed in his house. Uh huh, I already knew that the announcement of the next season was coming, and even though Izzy doesn't need the money, she's going to go to the island and win anyways because no one can stop her! Izzy was so mad that Chris wasn't originally going to invite Izzy back that she may have invited herself, but she thinks that's probably ok, right?" Izzy then snatches the camera and begins carrying it to her room.
"You all have to see what Izzy's been doing! This one fan asked Izzy to keep tabs on everyone and like give her a lot of info on everyone, so Izzy's been supplementing her income that way. See, she like made files on everyone!" Izzy points the camera at the files before returning the camera to her face and pouting. "Noah's been like totally secretive and hard to find though. Kaleidoscope will need to have a talk with him and Eva when she gets back to the island!" Izzy then covers her mouth. "Oh right! I'm not supposed to be spoiling details about the season yet, so bye!" The camera suddenly explodes as Izzy cackles loudly.
As the last video finished, a shadow passed over Chris who shuddered. "Please don't be Izzy!" he exclaimed before regaining his composure and explaining. "Between seasons that psycho occasionally visited my pad and was a huge nuisance, pelting me with eggs, trying to get an interview with me, and one time even stealing some of my hair. No one messes with my perfect hair! Personally, I'm hoping she's gone before she can do any more damage to me." Realizing the bias he had revealed, Chris struggled to regain his composure and shot another smile at the cameras and began to head to the mess hall. He was stopped halfway there, however, when Chef angrily crossed Chris's path, dragging a boy with dark brown hair behind him. They boy wore a white and black checkered shirt and a slightly battered pair of jeans and seemed to have blood trickling down his face. "Sasquatchanakwa has been released again like you wanted," Chef informed Chris wearily as he slumped to the ground before shooting Chris another glare and adding, "But do I look like an intern to you? Making me help with that and all? I could have died like all those interns, well except this one and the other who was so badly injured she was hospitalized."
"Hey, interns are cheap, so it's not a huge loss," Chris responded dismissively as he attempted to walk around Chef to the mess hall.
"Don't think I don't know that, but really it's more they were cheap. Not too many applicants after what you do to them," Chef responded brusquely, "But more importantly you sent me out with them, and how else would you get anything done around here without doing it yourself if something happened to me, huh Pretty Boy?"
Chris, growing pale at the thought, responded "Okay! I'll make sure only the interns have to do anything that dangerous in the future. It's a good thing so many apply for the job that we can just keep burning through them."
Chef let out a nervous chuckle before informing Chris, "Actually, this one, uh Jake I think, is one of the only two who have survived everything you've put them through preparing for this season, so you might need to be a little more careful with him once he's conscious again since he's your only intern for a while. Or not, but I quit if you try to make me do any of that stuff again, got it?" Chris nodded in response as a panicked look crossed his face at the thought.
"So, have you finished hiding everything for our campers today?" Chris inquired as he reviewed their preparations.
"Yeah, yeah, that's all done," Chef complained despite having rushed through placing some of them due to the Sasquatchanakwa job, "So I'd appreciate my paycheck now."
"Ummm, not until after you fix the Confession Cam," Chris protested as he grasped for a reason to delay payment and save the money for his hair care budget.
"Should have gone into another field, been a business man or something," Chef complained to himself as he dropped Jake on the ground and went off to look for his tools.
"Well, that was easy!" Chris congratulated himself. "Now to revive Jake here and get him into costume for the challenge and then let the campers know what they're in for. Ugh, what a pain though. I can't believe I have to set this up for Harold and Leshawna to stop Courtney from being able to use her PDA this season. Lawyers and their ridiculous requirements." Chris then pulled Jake to his feet and out of the cameras' range to get him into costume.
As the campers stood waiting in the mess hall, clear groups were delineated. Eva stood pacing by the door, being given a wide berth by the other contestants as she prepared to snatch Chris the moment he entered. DJ, Duncan, and Tyler were discussing their exploits between seasons while seated around a table. Duncan revealed that he had nearly endured another bout in juvie but escaped it due to wooing the female cop with his celebrity status. Amazed, Tyler and DJ crowded in closer to listen. Gwen was attempting to talk to Bridgette who was alternating between listening and making out with Geoff while Trent kept trying to draw Gwen's attention, despite her seeming to purposely not catch his eye. Meanwhile, Cody was feigning interest in Ezekiel's story about his rather unpleasant return home after the show, and all the angry letters he had received. Owen and Izzy were sitting together while Izzy recounted her latest escape from the RCMP and Owen nodded along to the story. Katie and Sadie sat giggling, alternatively watching Justin and the other boys they were eyeing, occasionally pausing to whisper between them. Justin meanwhile was posing into a mirror in an attempt to draw the eyes of Lindsay and Beth who were too deep in a conversation about Beth's vacation with Brady to notice. Leshawna and Harold were flirting by a table while discretely talking to Heather who pretended to be ignoring them to file her nails. Noah sat on his own in the corner reading, content to be away from the noise of the other campers. Courtney had out her cell phone and was angrily talking to her lawyers.
"What do you mean the lawsuit that I could use my PDA doesn't apply to this contest! How did the show find a loophole to annul the previous ruling? You better keep searching for a way to let me use it." After a short pause, Courtney added, "What? You're kidding! You cut a deal with them that's only going to hinder him for one challenge but is a problem for me all season? Ugh you're so incompetent!" Courtney then disconnected her phone and whipped out her PDA and began typing frantically on it.
Upon entering the mess hall, Chris was immediately grabbed by Eva who snarled, "McLean, you better have a very good reason for forcing us back to this dump."
Chris, nonplussed, shrugged innocently and replied, "Eva, who says you were forced. I'm sure you all are happy to perform in another season and obtain the fame you so richly deserve."
"Shove it McLean!" Eva snarled as she tossed Chris across the room in rage before sulking over to a table and sitting down, frightening Cody and Ezekiel who were nearby and scampered over to another table.
"I don't know about the rest of you, but I would not be here if it weren't for those stupid contracts. Really how many copies did your lawyers make?" griped Gwen as she crossed her arms, despite suppressing a smile at watching Eva toss Chris.
"Oh, a couple hundred, maybe more, you know how prepared lawyers are. We made extra of yours though after your… outburst first season," responded Chris indignantly as he climbed back to his feet and dusted himself off. Deciding his hair was out of place, Chris bolted from the room to get a mirror and his emergency hair gel to fix it, leaving the campers in shock and annoyance.
"And as per usual, Chris is more concerned about his hair than actually doing his job," Heather observed as she rolled her eyes.
"Oh no no! I know you aren't starting this competition by being your whiny spoiled self!" Leshawna pretended to complain, although she shot Heather a wink at the end to show her that no harm was intended and that it was merely to keep up appearances.
Heather, responding in turn, added, "And as per usual, I see you have to open your mouth and draw all the attention to you and your lack of fashion sense. I mean kumquats again? Don't you own more than one shirt?"
"Oooh! I have had enough of you and staring at your stomach to last a season already!" Leshawna countered as she grabbed Heather by her regrown hair and dragged her into the kitchen, letting the door slam shut behind them. Inside the kitchen, the two exchanged a high five at continuing their fake rivalry to catch the other campers off-guard later on. In the kitchen, Heather began screaming at the top of her lungs while Leshawna tried not to laugh.
"Well, it looks like Heather's probably going to be bald again," Beth observed hopefully as the sound of Leshawna riffling through drawers in the kitchen met the ears of the waiting campers. "And really, she's always so mean, that she probably deserves it."
"I dunno, I mean, Heather always was really mean, but I don't think any girl deserves to be bald on TV, well at least not twice. I mean, think how bad she looked!" Lindsay gasped in horror as she examined her own hair. "I mean, that's like a bad haircut to the max!"
"I guess so Linds," Beth ultimately conceded as the kitchen doors opened again and Leshawna strutted triumphantly back to Harold and sat down. Eventually, Heather too slipped out of the kitchen and returned to the campers, not looking all that worse for the wear despite her slightly disheveled clothing and hair.
Justin, growing bored with waiting for Chris, commented, "Look, I know looking good, since I always do, so I know how long it takes to get perfect hair, and this is pretty ridiculous! Even if his hair was a total disaster, Chris should be done by now."
"Gee, keep talking about hair care because we're all so interested," Noah scoffed sarcastically as he glanced up from his book.
"Oh I know we so totally are! We love you Justin!" Sadie squealed excitedly, completely missing Noah's sarcasm as Katie nodded enthusiastically with her. Noah merely slapped his face in frustration while Justin beamed at the attention.
"Well, since everyone wants to hear it, I think I will," Justin continued. "Sure being horribly disfigured last season was hard on my career, but as you can see, I've returned my body to a state of perfection, and really, if I can bounce back from that, I should be able to recover from anything. Just to be safe though, I probably shouldn't try too hard in the challenges. Wouldn't want to put my career on the line too much!"
Eva snarled, "If you're on my team, you better give it more effort than that, Pretty Boy or I'll personally make sure you're too mangled to model again." Justin screamed at cowered under the table, gazing at his reflection to calm himself down as Katie and Sadie clutched each other, horrified at the thought of Justin being injured again.
Without Chris in the room, Bridgette and Geoff had resumed making out. Gwen, noticing their shift of attention, tapped Bridgette on the shoulder and warned her, "You know Bridgette, you don't want to annoy everyone again, do you? I mean, you and Geoff are in it to win this time, right? Somehow, I think constantly making out will take your focus of the game."
A look of realization crossing both of their faces, Bridgette stammered out, "Uh yeah, we sure are! It's just kind of hard to resist sometimes. I mean, when Geoff is nearby, I can only think about how hot he is."
Geoff added, "Yeah, I mean, we haven't seen each other in like two days. Do you know how hard that is to resist making out now? That's like, umm, lots of hours man."
Gwen shook her head in amusement and let out a light chuckle, causing Bridgette to add, "Well he has a point. I mean, what if Geoff and I aren't even on the same team? This could be our last chance for weeks!" Geoff's eyes widened in horror at the thought and he clutched Bridgette tighter to him.
"And what if you don't last long enough to make it onto teams? I seem to recall something like that happening once already." Gwen inquired dubiously, causing Bridgette and Geoff to exchange a worried glance before nodding and separating a little. Softening a little, Gwen reminded them, "Besides, it's not like there isn't downtime before and after challenges where you two can make out."
"Thanks for the warning, Gwen," Bridgette admitted with a nervous smile as she struggled to avoid returning to Geoff's arms.
"Sure, I know I've got a ways to go myself if I don't want to be the first eliminated, but it'll be easier to do that with my friends here." The trio shared a smile and resumed talking while waiting for Chris to arrive, this time with Geoff and Bridgette more focused on the conversation than each other.
On the side, another couple was flirting as well. "Well, if I'm your big gooey marshmallow, then you're like a super delicious, toasted graham cracker to go with me," Owen gushed as he gazed into Izzy's eyes who smiled back at him before pulling him into a kiss.
"Aww, you're like the nicest guy ever Big-O," Izzy sighed contentedly as she leaned against Owen. Owen, however, smelling a savory odor coming from the kitchen, suddenly jumped to his feet, causing Izzy to fall and smash her jaw on the table as Owen darted into the kitchen. "Oww," Izzy mumbled as she sat back up rubbing her jaw. "Okay, that is so not a great feeling injury. It just stings and isn't energizing at all."
"Ooh, trouble for the lovebirds? How fascinating," Noah quipped sarcastically as he glanced up from his book.
"Shut it Bookworm!" Eva barked as she walked over to Izzy. Lowering her voice slightly, Eva asked, "Hey, are you okay Izzy? Want me to pound Owen for you?"
"I guess I'm okay, but you don't need to clobber Big-O," Izzy admitted as she sat back down on the bench before glaring over at kitchen and adding, "But Esquire is not second string to food! I mean, that is no way to treat a proper lady like Esquire! That boy needs to learn some manners." Now shouting, Izzy roared, "Owen, you get out here right now!"
Owen, stumbling out of the kitchen with some freshly cooked meat protruding from his mouth, mumbled through the food, "Yeah Izzy?"
With her hands on her hips, Izzy ordered, "Look Owen, I know you like to eat, but I'm sick of being second string to food and just shoved in the way of danger. You're on thin ice, Owen, so you better start treating Esquire like the lady she is, or we're through. You got it?"
Nervously, Owen ran over to Izzy and grabbed her hand, before exclaiming in a rush, "I would never do that to you, not ever! And furthermore, ooh are those potatoes?" Owen let go of Izzy's hand and ran back into the kitchen, leaving Izzy and Eva shaking their heads in disbelief and anger.
"Esquire does not approve of this brutish treatment," Izzy pouted as she crossed her arms.
When Owen reentered and attempted to apologize to Izzy again, Duncan commented, "Man, that's pretty low dude. I bet Farticus keeps Izzy as his girlfriend another week tops at this rate. Probably in his best interest if he wants to survive though. I don't know how anyone could stand dating that psycho!"
"Hey, Owen's a nice guy," DJ argued, "I think we should try to help the guy out so he can stay with Izzy."
"Your funeral," Duncan scoffed as he turned away to stare at Courtney.
"I dunno," Tyler added to DJ as he mulled over everything that was going. "I could never abandon my Lindsay for something as stupid as food! Maybe Owen kind of deserves it if he can't take his girlfriend seriously."
"I guess, but I just don't feel right about doing nothing," DJ lamented as he tried to think of something to do to help Owen.
"Well dude, if you come up with something, I guess I'll help you out bro," Tyler agreed as he moved over to Lindsay and gave her a light kiss on the cheek before joining her on the bench and wrapping his arms around her.
Noticing that Courtney was angrily fighting with her PDA, Trent asked her, "Hey, what's the problem, Courtney?"
"Nothing!" Courtney shouted immediately, unwilling to reveal that she had lost the advantage of her PDA. "Just updating my schedule, that's all!" Trent, unconvinced, merely shrugged and turned back to trying to get Gwen's attention, but had no success as her back was to him and Geoff's laughter drowned out any of Trent's subtle attempts to get her to turn around.
"Gosh! Anyone can see that you're mad about something, and really, what do you have to schedule while you're stuck on the island? Unless your lawyers let you know all the challenges in advance." Harold inquired with a triumphant glance at Courtney.
"Lots of stuff. Important stuff. I have important things to do once I get off the island and might as well start planning my schedule now," Courtney babbled as she tried to come up with a suitable excuse. Arriving at nothing, Courtney chucked a fork at Harold and shouted, "And shut up Harold! I don't want to hear a single word out of your stupid face until you're eliminated, you lousy cheating jerk! Maybe I was scheduling your elimination. Did you think of that?"
Ducking easily under the fork, Harold shot back, "Well at least I'm not a sore loser and play fairly, gosh!" Causing Courtney to shoot him a bitter glance before resuming furiously typing on her PDA. Had Harold been able to see the screen, he would have noticed that Courtney's to-do list included such tasks as "Maim Harold", "Eliminate Harold", "Unpack luggage", and "Make Harold pay again".
Ezekiel confessed to Cody, "Okay, that was really scary, eh? I just hoope she's still not mad at me!" before letting out a light shudder at the thought. With a jolt of realization, he added, "Actually, I hope, none uf them are still made, especially Eva! She's even scarier than Courtney, eh?"
"Relax, as long as Courtney's infuriated with Harold, you're probably just fine where she's concerned at least," Cody responded confidently. "And I'm sure if you do everything she says, she'll forgive you quickly enough, I mean she likes control and all. See, that's what you need to do: figure out what each type of girl wants and then do it. Write that down bro. Of course, some of the others, namely Eva, might be a little tougher." Ezekiel began quickly scribbling in his notepad as Cody droned on.
"Wow, yoo're so smart. How did yoo learn so much aboot the ladies, eh?" Ezekiel asked in awe.
"When you're as popular with the ladies as I am, it's pretty easy to do," Cody boasted. Leaning in closer, Cody confessed, "The one thing that's more troubling is this weird stalker I've had lately. I keep thinking I'm seeing this purple-haired girl around my room, and stuff is disappearing too. It's pretty creepy."
"So, does that mean yoo two are going oot?" Ezekiel inquired confused. "I'm not so good with all this girl stuff."
"Dude, you have a lot to learn about the ladies, but we'll see if I can't teach you it, bro," Cody remarked as he tried to put his feet on the table and lie back to look cool but only succeeded in falling off the bench, an action which Ezekiel copied, resulting in the two of them ending up in a pile on the floor.
Emitting a contented sigh, Sadie admitted, "I could stare at Justin forever. He is so gorgeous!"
"Oh, so totally gorgeous. Hopefully Chris never comes back!" Katie concurred to Sadie as she nearly fainted when Justin smiled at her. "I can't believe he smiled at me!" Katie exclaimed giddily.
"He probably meant to do it at me," Sadie protested as she tried to get Justin's attention again. "Oooh, that smile so should have been mine, I know it!"
"Nuh uh! It's so mine, and it feel so good!" Katie gushed as she swooned onto the table.
Noticing an opportunity, Heather slipped over and sat down next to Sadie. "Hello Sadie," she began with a warm smile.
"Huh, oh hi Heather," Sadie mumbled as she looked sadly at the table. "Wait, why are you talking to me? We've like barely ever talked before."
Heather smiled and answered quickly, "Well, I saw Justin smiling at you but then you looked so upset, I had to see what was wrong. Beautiful girls like us must stick together."
"See! I knew Justin was smiling at me!" Sadie exclaimed happily as she clapped her hands. "And did you say I was beautiful? You are so nice Heather!" Sadie exclaimed as she threw her arms around Heather in a hug.
"I don't think I'm quite ready for hugging yet," Heather confessed as she struggled for breath in Sadie's arms. "But I do think we can be friends this time Sadie." Noticing that Katie was waking up again, Heather quickly excused herself, "Well, I should be going before everyone worries you're plotting something with me and gets mad at you."
Waking up, Katie sighed contentedly and whispered Justin's name while Sadie watched Heather walk away, trying to discern if Heather was just trying to use her before giving up and going back to admiring Justin.
Finally, the door creaked open, and Chris reentered the mess hall, looking almost exactly like he did when he left and greatly annoying Katie and Sadie who had to avert their eyes from Justin. "I'm sure you've all gotten plenty of catching up done, but by all means, don't let me interrupt," Chris announced as he tried to remember what he had been discussing when he left, disguising it as a chance for the campers to reminisce.
"Look, I appreciate these happy memories as much as anyone, but I'd rather just get this over with so we can retire to the cabins. For what are we competing this season? Your rather forceful invitation to the island was rather lacking in details," Noah wryly inquired as he closed his book and raised an eyebrow at Chris.
"Shush! Don't rush me. I'm building the suspense. After all, the folks back home are just a curious as you are, maybe even more," Chris answered slowly, drawing out every word to stall for time while surveying the faces of all the campers, all of whom were glaring back at him and wishing he'd hurry his speech along.
"Talk is boring, so spit it out McLean!" Eva shouted as she pounded her fists menacingly, causing Chris to flinch.
"Anyways, welcome campers to Total Drama Redux. We've decided to provide you all with a chance to relive your best memories right here at luxurious Camp Wawanakwa." A chorus of laughter met the conclusion of Chris's statement, causing him to pause in annoyance. Eventually, Chris continued, "This season, you will be competing against your old friends and rivals for an incredible sum of $1,000,000!"
The campers immediately burst into excited discussion at this announcement while Chris smiled smugly, knowing that the money would no doubt provide an incentive for lots of drama.
"Ohmigosh, Sadie. We have another chance at fame and money and best of all, we're together again. Just think what we could do with the money if we won!" gushed Katie.
"Oh, I so totally am," replied Sadie, "We could start a clothing shop to sell your awesome fashions. After all, this show is great advertising for them. We should go change into them when Chris is done talking!"
"You are so smart, Sadie! It's like you're reading my mind," returned Katie growing very excited. "We could even expand that ice cream company you decided we should create! I mean it was totally a huge hit back home!"
"Eeeeee!" They exclaimed as they shared a hug.
"Well, another shot at that kind of money is the only reason I'd even consider putting up with Chris's torture for another season," quipped Gwen to Bridgette as the two began laughing.
"I know right," affirmed Trent as he attempted to interject himself into the conversation. "This time, I bet you can go all the way babe." Trent quickly returned to silence, however, when he noticed Gwen's disapproving expression.
"Look, Trent, I know we were a couple last time on Total Drama Island, but well you creeped me out during Total Drama Action, and we broke up. I'm really sorry, but why can't you realize that?" replied Gwen although she then reprimanded herself for the intensity of her response. Trent, dejected, turned away and tried to think of some way he might still be able to win Gwen over.
"Gwen, come on. Give Trent another chance," begged Bridgette as she took a break from locking lips with Geoff, having forgotten Gwen's earlier advice in the span of a few minutes that had just passed. "After all, you might find some of the happiness that Geoff and I found. I mean, you two were so perfect together. I mean, your relationship even survived Heather!"
"It's true! Besides, being back here's just like one big party waiting to happened!" exclaimed Geoff as he pulled Bridgette back into him and another kiss, leaving Gwen mulling over their words since further conversation was impossible.
"Yay! Another chance to buy France!" exclaimed Lindsay happily as she turned her attention back to Beth and away from Tyler at whom she had been gazing and trying to recognize the face.
"I know!" replied Beth, "And the best part is we're together again. It'll be just as great as the last time I saw Brady. I mean, except for when we parted." With that, Beth turned away nervously to collect her emotions, knowing that she had left out a few key details about her time with Brady when talking to Lindsay earlier.
"Yeah, and hopefully this season, I get to be on the same team as my girl!" Tyler quickly added as he smiled at Lindsay whose eyes lit up as she finally recognized Tyler.
"Oh my gosh! Tyler's back in the game everyone! And we all thought he was never coming back, ever!" Lindsay called excitedly as she remembered Tyler's name again and noticed him sitting near her. Her announcement was met with bewildered stares from most of the cast before they resumed talking with each other, used to Lindsay's confusion.
"Please, the rest of you should just stop trying now," Heather boasted aloud as she snapped shut the lid on her makeup container. "That money is as good as mine, so you might as well just give up and give it to me now. I figure then, you'll save yourself the embarrassment."
"Get real. No one will be stupid enough to help you out after everything you've done!" Eva threatened as she stomped over to Heather and leaned into her face. "Cause if they do, I'll pound them. You're dead for stealing my MP3 player and getting me voted off, got it?"
"Uh, that is so two seasons ago, get over it," Heather commented briskly, forgetting for a moment she was talking to Eva and responding more snidely than she otherwise would have.
"Oh, I'll get over it alright, but not until after you've paid, and paid dearly!" Eva warned Heather before sulking back to her spot at the table and blurting, "Oh, I'd notify your next of kin and get a will ready, Heather."
"Eh, Cody?" began Ezekiel nervously as he hoped Eva wasn't listening in, "Do yoo think I could get the girls to like me better if I took lessons from yoo on how to woo the ladies? I mean, if they liked me better in any way, I might be able to apologize."
"Yeah, and winning the money wouldn't be a bad start either. The Codemeister knows what the women like and fame is definitely a plus, so winning would be good for you. Of course, if you want my services, I might need a cut of your winnings if you win. Not much though, just a couple thousand for my time," Cody explained as Ezekiel nodded eagerly in response and whipped out a pad of paper to take down Cody's suggestions.
Izzy, sneaking around near the table, overheard their conversation and popped up next to them. "You know what would really help you two out? Enlisting Izzy's aid. Uh huh, she's like totally the world's best matchmaker when she wants to be! I mean, it's almost like I have Cupid's arrows on my side to make two people fall in love, so it's almost unfair! Like this one time, this one girl was all like, no way, I'd never love this punk, and he was all like she totally wants me, but then Izzy stepped in, and they realized they were in love, and then they lived happily ever after." Izzy then suddenly paused and amended her statement, "Oh wait, that was Courtney and Duncan, and Izzy didn't really help with that. Oh, and I suppose they didn't live happily ever after either, so maybe that was a bad example, but Izzy has a better track record, and you can count on it!"
"Please, you don't think the Codemeister needs help to win over all the ladies, do you?" Cody asked cockily as he shot a smile at Izzy who had decided playing with her eyelids was more interesting than Cody.
"Well, Izzy kind of does think so, yeah. I mean, you kind of fell flat on your face trying to win over Gwen, didn't you? But not to worry! Izzy will find you your true soul mate eventually, mmm hmm! She just needs a little more time to figure out who it should be. Izzy's thinking someone taller than you, and maybe with pink or purple hair. Nah, that's crazy talk, but Izzy will keep working on it. And as for you Ezekiel, I think I'll just start by forgiving you, uh huh, cause I'm super generous like that too! Oooh! And Izzy will give you all the best tips to get anyone who still has a grudge against you to forgive you. Oh, and you won't be needing that either!" Izzy babbled as she snatched Ezekiel's notepad and tossed it into the trash over Cody's protestations that he had given Ezekiel good advice. She continued lecturing Cody and Ezekiel but was ultimately drowned out by the commotion coming from another part of the mess hall.
"Finally, a chance to obtain the money that should have been mine last season and more than what I was cheated out of in the first one! Winning this season will be even easier than winning Class Presidency," exclaimed Courtney as she glared menacingly at Harold. "After all, I was a CIT and now we're back at camp, so obviously I have all the necessary skills to win."
"We know already, gosh!" retorted Harold in annoyance as Courtney once again referenced her abilities. "Besides, you'd merely have fallen to my mad skills eventually anyways, so it's not like anything really changed after the boot camp challenge."
"Why you! It was your fault I was eliminated in the first place, Harold, and your mad skills would never have beaten mine unless we were in an insanity contest. You lousy, cheating, backstabbing, little, Urgh! And how could you have defeated me? You'd have gone home that day!" shrieked Courtney in her attempt to attack Harold, which was promptly halted by Leshawna stepping in front of Courtney and stopping her from getting too close to Harold.
"Oh no you didn't! I know you're not attacking my man!" asserted Leshawna as she restrained Courtney. Courtney meekly backed down, wishing to avoid an altercation this early in the show; however, Duncan decided he needed to step in and defend Courtney.
"Please Leshawna, do us and yourself a favor and find someone better than Doris over there," mocked Duncan as he jerked his thumb disparagingly at Harold.
"What! Why are you standing up for that witch? You broke up with her. She was trying to boss you around, restrain your inner badboy!" replied Leshawna indignantly before adding, "And besides, I think you'd be better off without that loudmouthed, whiny, little nag!" Courtney tensed up and narrowed her eyes angrily at Leshawna, swearing revenge later on.
"I know, but seeing Princess here makes me give in. I have to win her back!" murmured Duncan as he gazed lustily at Courtney.
"What? You Ogre. We never had anything!" replied Courtney, blushing furiously as she turned away from Duncan in an attempt to avoid meeting his eyes.
"Come on, you know you want this!" Duncan insisted smugly as he leaned in close to Courtney and pointed at himself.
"Yeah, you wish! Like I'd be caught dead on television with a delinquent like you," Courtney scoffed as she pulled back and walked to the other side of the table, ultimately sitting near Justin.
"Princess, you've made a wise decision leaving that loser, and I promise to protect you to the best of my ability if you'd be willing to go out with me," Justin proposed to Courtney with a smile, unaware of how distraught Katie and Sadie were becoming due to his attention to Courtney.
Hesitantly, Courtney replied, "Look, Justin, I'm just not sure things would work out for the two of us. I mean, you're hot, like really hot, but I'm not sure how much we have in common. I'd be honored to have you as an ally though. Together, we can bring down Harold and all his friends."
Hanging his head in disappointment, Justin responded, "Alright, at least it's a great start, and maybe later on, you'll be able to understand my greatness and allure. Oh, who am I kidding, everyone does in the end. So it's a deal."
Noah, miming a gaging motion, interjected, "Or maybe, Courtney will continue to maintain her common sense and sanity and be wise enough to stay away from you. Knowing you, you probably only want her since you can't have her. I seem to recall you calling her ugly before."
"Oh yes, let's hear romantic advice from the Know It All with no experience in dating anyone," Justin snarled as he scoffed at Noah. "Well, unless we count Cody."
"Ooh, you've mastered sarcasm. I must say that I'm mildly impressed at your achievement; I'd have expected much less of you," Noah retorted triumphantly despite cringing at the first mention of Cody.
Before Justin could respond again, Chris added, "Oooh, tension already! You guys are more than a host could ask for! This is why I love this show."
"The food is why I love this show," Owen piped up as he returned from the kitchen with another armful of food.
"Where are you possibly finding all that?" DJ inquired in shock. Shaking his head and changing subjects before Owen could respond, DJ added, "Look, Owen, I know you like to eat, but isn't there something more important than just food to you on the island?"
Thinking for a moment, Owen responded, "Well, I suppose water is necessary to survive, so maybe that? Oh, and comfy places to sleep. After eating, that's the best thing in Canada. No! No! In the world!"
Slapping his face in frustration, DJ answered, "Well, okay, that's true, but what about Izzy? She just finished lecturing you about putting food before her dude, and then you went off to get more food several times and said it was why you liked the show without even mentioning meeting her. If you don't do something soon Owen, you might lose her!"
With a look of horror crossing his face, Owen wondered, "Well, what can I do to salvage my relationship with her? I really don't want to lose Izzy! Do you think sharing the food with her would help?"
"What? No! Owen, enough with the food already!" DJ protested as he tried to get Owen's attention, ultimately knocking the food out of Owen's grasp. "Just show her she's special dude. I'm sure if you make it clear you appreciate her, you'll be just fine," DJ suggested, concluding with a confident nod of his head.
"Sweet! Thanks dude! You're the best!" Owen shouted as he and DJ knuckle bumped.
Chris, growing impatient with all the distractions began attempting draw all the attention back to him. "Look, campers please. I know you're all excited and happy to see each other again, but I'd really like to announce today's challenge. Alas, you've all wasted too much time with your inane yammering and thus your challenge will remain on hold. What fresh horrors await our campers today? Who will be the first to be eliminated? When will Chef fix the Confessional Cam? For these answers and more, stay tuned to Total Drama Redux!" boasted Chris as he waved goodbye to the camera.
