Disclaimer: I do not own Total Drama or any associated characters. Nor do I own the rights to MTV's Real World Show which this is obviously based on for those who have seen it. I have always wanted to do an imaginary Real World Season for Total Drama characters and am now getting around to it but this is a purely fanfictional exercise expressing my love for these shows and characters and, unfortunately, I am not making a profit off writing anything.

This is the tale of 8 strangers picked to live in a house and have their lives taped, to find out what happens when one stops being polite and starts being real.

Alejandro
"Hello friends, my name is Alejandro Burromuerto. And yes, I am aware of the joke because people make fun of my name all the time. Anyhow, I am the son of Juan Emrillo Estava Deker Burromeurto which unless you follow politics probably is a name you've never heard of but my dad is a real shaker behind the scenes as a representative of banks, countries, prime ministers….but enough about that boring stuff." Alejandro looked at the camera and makes a disgusted face. "Politics as a whole bores me which disappoints my dad but whatever. At least I know the ins and outs. No, what I do is that I am an extreme competition enthusiast. I compete in everything from mountain climbing, biking, canoeing, swimming, running, the iron man triathlon, bodybuilding, modeling, you name it. I am the face cover of many magazines elsewhere, and one of Canada's, and other places, most eligible bachelors younger than 30. Frankly, I'm good at everything."

Gwen
"Hey, I'm Gwen Stevens. I'm an artist, trying to get my name out there. I was hoping to do this show to show off some of my work and get my name out there. Umm, I don't really have anything exciting about me, not really…you should meet my pet lizard. Nice isn't he?" She picks him up and pets him. "Um, I also love movies, horror and stuff. I consider myself a horror buff which as you can tell is reflected in these pictures." Shows off the pictures. "But don't worry, I don't only do horror work. I also do more traditional stuff but I feel it's good to expand horizons and genres."

Shawn
"I'm Shawn Gregors, zombie expert and prepared to survive when the zombie apocalypse happens and life as we know it changes when most of the world gets eaten or turned into zombies. I have finally stockpiled enough food to last a year once everything goes off the grid, ammo and guns, and started building the ultimate shelter that could also double as an atomic bomb shelter should the US and Russia start heading towards nuclear war again or somebody else. As I don't know which type of zombies are going to populate the world since they could be fast or slow, I'm ready for both. I can sleep with my eyes open in case of zombie attack, and have catlike reflexes should the undead try to sneak up on me. I-"
"Boo!" leaps out a figure with a disfigured face and Shawn screams.
"ZOMBIE! ZOMBIE!" Shawn does an impressive couple backflips towards his bed and cowers. Laughing can be heard.

Heather
"Hey, I'm Heather Campbell, and I'm the meanest, baddest bitch you'll ever meet." She pops bubblegum in her mouth while smirking. "No, I'm serious. People have called me that. Of course, they're all losers that are jealous of how popular I am but that is right. I'm here for this lame show as a stepping stone to have my own reality show 'All About Heather' which as you can guess would be all about me helping people with their horrible fashion sense or correcting stupid people of their stupid opinions. I've always wanted to travel and go places and this seems as good an opportunity as any. I don't really care who you put me with, I'll put them all in their place. As long as they follow the rules, we will be able to get along but if not, well…" she smiles brightly, teeth glinting. "I'll bring out the claws."

Duncan
"Hey, I'm Duncan Evans. I kind of always wanted to be on tv and stuff and I love this show so I thought to myself why not make a tape and see if they select me so that is what I did. You can call me kind of a criminal as I been to juvie and shit for two years." He laughed. "It actually isn't as fun and glamorous as you think. It's actually terrible and that is minor league compared to jail with the big boys. I would have ended up there if not for a friendly social worker who got me on a reduced sentence and temporary home arrest. I thank them every day and I have mostly cleaned up. Mostly." He smirked. "I still like to cruise and have fun sometimes and old habits die hard. I've gotten better at not getting caught though but even if I did, it wouldn't be anything I would go to jail for. Also, I love the ladies, sometimes dudes, but really, mainly the ladies."

Jasmine
"Hey guys, I'm Jasmine Irwin! I am actually a native resident of Australia but I wanted to see if I could give this show a go if that is allowed. Oh and I am not related to the Crocodile Hunter, it is just a coincidence we share the name and have a thing for wild animals. Anyhow, I have this dream of a floral boxing gym where people could both buy flowers and get a good boxing in. I've been told that's silly and stupid but why can't a girl do both? Why does one have to either stick to beauty or strength? I want to combine both my passions for flowers and kickboxing into the ultimate place that would appeal to both types and even show that it is okay to be both strong and like flowers. After all, plants are survivors and I am a survivor as well. I hope to be able to work on making my dream of the floral boxing gym a reality while on the show and to spread the word. Also, I do not plan to fall in love. I know how these shows work and it is not happening. Not even if the guy is really cute. Well maybe if they were…I mean it's not happening! Guys tend to find me a tad aggressive and intimidating anyhow for some reason, I can't imagine why."

Scott
"Yo, my names Scott Messier. Um, I don't know what to say about me…I live out on the farm with my family and we share a single tv set. When not doing work I like to sneak and watch reality tv and as much as I love farm life, I think it'd be cool to be on tv and stuff. Oh and money, yeah I like money. I don't know many people other than my cousins, some of them downright strange, so this will be a good educational experience for me. What else…cow tipping is fun, um spraying painting, hunting, killing those dang pesky rodents who try to get into our food supply and I'm a pretty good shot if I say so, and so forth. I hope you pick me because that would be awesome.

Courtney
Hello, my name is Courtney Stone. I'm auditioning for TDTV in order to travel, meet experience, and have another thing to put on my resume of being a lawyer because should something happen, my career won't be shot as hard as it would be if I run for political office like I was originally going to. I like to compete and win which is why I would make a good lawyer. Got a case you can't handle? Bring it to Courtney Stone who will roll over opponents and win your case! Or something like that, I'm still working on my slogan. I'm currently attending law school but they thought it would be a good idea if I would go out and learn some people skills or something which will help my case so here I am! I was also the class president and valedictorian at my high school. A couple of sore losers said I cheated and used illegal intimidation of the competition but I most certainly did not! If you can't handle the heat, stay out of the kitchen is what I say. Anyhow, you should choose me! Or I will sue your asses in a couple years when I become a successful prosecutor and would drag this show through the ringer."

"Hey, are you Alejandro Burrimorto?" Alejandro turned to see a guy with piercings and green Mohawk come walking up to him, dragging a rolling suitcase behind him.

"It's Burromuerto and yes, I am."

"Oh thank you. I wasn't sure if I was heading in the right direction or found the right person. My name's Duncan." Duncan held out his hand to shake. Alejandro shook the offered hand.

"I'm Alejandro but you knew that. I assume you must be one of the other cast members I'm going to be living with?"

"Yeah I am. It's pretty awesome we got picked right?" Duncan asked smiling.

"Indeed it is," Alejandro replied.

"What now?"

"It looks like our ride has arrived," Alejandro said pointing to a vehicle that had just pulled up to the airport. A guy had stepped out holding signs with their names on it. They headed over to the van.

"Are you two Alejandro Burromuerto and Duncan Evans?" The guy asked.
"Indeed we are," Alejandro told him.
"Okay then, we can head to the house. The others will be picked up elsewhere."
"So do you think we will be the first ones there?" Duncan asked Alejandro.
"I don't know. Perhaps, perhaps not."
"Well, do you want to room together if we are?"

"I don't see why not." Duncan started chattering excitedly and Alejandro looked out the window to watch the scenery, listening only enough to give responses when asked a question but otherwise tuning out.

Scene change
"Hi, how are you?" Heather turned and looked. She then craned her head back and back, uncomfortably so, to see Jasmine's face. Her head was creaking and it was really awkward.

"Are you a giraffe?" Heather asked.
"Um what?" Jasmine asked.
"You're very tall, how do you even fit places?"
"Yeah it's sometimes difficult. Anyway, you are?"
"Heather. You're the tallest person I've ever seen."

"I get that a lot," Jasmine said. She was used to everyone always commenting on her height and to be fair, she was a giant. She was taller than just about everyone she had ever met and people sometimes literally asked if she was an amazon or part giantess. She wondered herself because the only people taller than her are 7+ foot basketball players. That was the next question she always got asked is if she played or would consider basketball playing. She didn't because she personally didn't really care for it and at the champion level where all of a sudden everyone was just as tall or taller, she actually wasn't very good. One actually did need skill and basketball honestly wasn't her thing. Plus, the pay sucked in comparison if she would have been a guy and it was just a bad vibe for her.

"So, um, want to get in our ride?" Heather and Jasmine got into the van with Jasmine taking up a lot of leg space forcing Heather against the side. "Sorry about this," Jasmine said.

"It's…no problem," Heather grimaced a smile, trying to be nice. While she normally wouldn't have cared about being nice, Jasmine was different and looked like she could crush Heather just sitting on her, and almost was in this car, and she was actually intimidating.

Scene Change
"Hey, are you Scott?" a guy with a beanie hat asked as he approached.
"What's it to you?"
"Well, I'm Shawn and I guess we're going to be roommates!"
"But I didn't say I was Scott."

"Shit, did I get the wrong person? I thought from the description I was given you would be Scott."

"No I am, just messing with you. They told you I was coming?"
"Uh-huh. I was told to look for a red-head with freckle skin and that it would be very recognizable which it is. What took so long?"

"My plane got delayed at the last minute and I had to switch flights. Anyhow, did you know that the airport contains a lot of people? Because it does."

"Um, yeah glad you're here. We can go to the house now. I wonder if people have already arrived before us. I need to be able to choose the most easily defensible room."

"Why do you need the most defensible room?" Scott asked.

To defend against the zombie invasion." Shawn said. Scott stared at him trying to see if he was serious. Shawn looked very serious.

"Okay then…." Scott muttered. "Um, do you like pudding?"
"Pudding?"
"Yeah I have some extra and I don't know if you want any."

"Sure! I love pudding!" Scott handed some over and gave a spoon when they got in the car and they ate pudding.

Scene Change
"THAT IS NOT ACCEPTABLE! I WILL NOT PUT UP WITH THIS, WHEN I GET BACK I WILL HAVE YOUR HEAD!" Gwen winced at the loud shrill voice and she already had a sickness in the pit of her stomach. Please don't let her be a member, please don't let her be a member, please don't let her be a member…suddenly she saw the screamer marching towards her with a pissed off expression.

"Are you Gwen?" she asked, rather rudely and Gwen shuddered.
"Yes I am. You are?"

"Courtney. My no good contract lawyer fucked it up. I knew I should have gone over the contract myself but apparently I was screwed over and signed over rights and a large chunk of earnings over to TDTV and prevented from being a public figure for much of anything without TDTV's permissions nor do I have any say in what can or can't be shown on television."

"Wow, that sucks."
"Yes it does. It was in everybody's contract."
"Wait what?"
"Did you read it?"
"No."

"Well essentially TDTV owns us and our lives and can show whatever they want or take things out of context to put whatever scenario they want to make. I had anticipated such a thing when signing but my lawyer assured me he would fight for fairness as I did not have time to read the document myself. Unfortunately it looks like they snagged a hole buried in the revisions that still allow them total rights blah blah blah, you know how it goes."

"Why did you sign up them?" Gwen asked curiously.

"To introduce myself to the world and build my reputation for my prosecuting skills and to try to undo any rumors of intimidation and foul play that might be swirling around some of my tactics in both high school and law school. Plus, I was told I needed to work on my people skills because some people find me too abrasive and irritating. Me, abrasive and irritating! It is utterly ridiculous."

"Yeah," Gwen muttered. "Totally." Fortunately, Courtney seemed to miss the skepticism and thought that was genuine.

"You bet it is. Anyhow, we're all pretty much slaves of reality tv who can make us do whatever they wish."
"At least we're getting paid," Gwen said.

"That is true." Courtney said more happily before she got serious again. "But that's only if we stay the entire time and do what they want. So um…I guess now I ask what you like to do or something right? So Gwen, what do you like to do?" Gwen sighed as she settled herself in for a long ride ahead and felt an unfortunate pounding in her head due to the combination of a long flight and the annoying roommate next to her that either ranted and raved or was just way to friendly at the moment when all Gwen wanted to do was put on some music and drown out the world and her throbbing head.
