I hope you guys didn't think this was the first chapter so soon after Curse's finale. Naw, I'm just updating the preview. Don't worry, the chapter will be up before you know it.

"Welcome to a season like no other!" Chris McLean said. "This year, we're taking everyone's favourite reality TV show down under!"

He stood in front of a map of the world. At a flick of his hand, the map zoomed in to continental Oceania. Then, a small red dot appeared in between Australia and New Zealand.

"This little Archipelago we found will hold host to eighteen contestants' battle for the grand prize," Chris explained. "As you may have already guessed, we're calling it… The K'wala Islands!"

The title appeared beside him as he spoke.

"Some things will be familiar. Like, as in World Tour, we'll begin with three teams! Let's check them out now!"

The Teams:

Team: The Dastardly Dragonflies

Location: Draggo Island

Members: TBA

Team Bonus: Four chickens will be given to the team upon its first arrival at Draggo Island.

Logo: A green dragonfly flying above a marshland.

Team: The Terrible Tarantulas

Location: Terentu Island

Members: TBA

Team Bonus: A box of fifty matches will be given to the team upon its first arrival at Terentu Island.

Logo: A red tarantula crawling on a log.

Team: The Wicked Wasps

Location: Wasiwa Island

Members: TBA

Team Bonus: Materials for a shelter will be given to the team upon its first arrival at Wasiwa Island.

Logo: A yellow wasp landing on a flowery bush.

"And elimination ceremonies will be held in the same manner as before. Unlike previous seasons, though, where we only informed the contestants who was and wasn't safe, this season we'll be reading every single vote to ensure maximum drama," Chris grinned. "And that's not the only thing that's changing."

New Changes:

1- Five immunity idols will be in play- three in the premerge portion of the competition and two in the merge.

2- Casting a vote for oneself overrides all other votes, sending whomever voted for themselves home.

3- Teams will not be able to see each other outside of challenges.

4- Unlike previous finales, the finale will occur when there are three contestants left.

"That's some good stuff. The contestants are really going to have to work if they want to succeed," Chris said. "But who exactly are the contestants? Well, let's find out!"

"That looks good to me!" Chris said. "So tune in next time for the series premiere of-"

"WAIT!" Three teens ran on screen- two boys and a girl.

"You're supposed to introduce us," the girl said.

"Right," Chris rolled his eyes. "Apparently, the producers thought the interns needed a 'bigger role' in the show. So here they are, folks."

The Interns:

"There you go. Happy? Now get out of here," Chris waved them off and they left. "If it were up to me, that'd be all the screen time you got," he added under his breath.

He seemed to remember that they were still filming. "Oh! Um… tune in next time to the series premiere of…"

"Total! Drama! The K'wala Islands!"
