Pomewin Island itself, the place where all of this was set to take place, was just as Chris and Chef implied all of those months prior to the election of Cassandra to Canadian Prime Minister. Due to it's lack of a population - unless one counts the vast wilderness and wild animals as living things that supply a population - prior to the Total Drama staff's arrival, all of the buildings on the island to give it the illusion of being a summer camp had to be constructed from scratch. These buildings included communal washrooms, a mess hall/main lodge which was effectively the kitchen and dining room, a dormitory building with 54 individual bedrooms in it that was split with one side for females while the other was for males, and of course there was the dock which Chris was assuming to be used to eliminate the contestants during the season. As he saw the last few pieces of the construction going through, Chris himself stood from atop a hill checking out the blueprints map with Cassandra had mailed to him. It wasn't long until he noticed a few discrepancies. Namely, a few areas on the map which he was not personally told of.
The first discrepancy was that there was a spot where the 'control room' - the helicopter which Chris and Chef stay at during the competition to avoid confrontations with the contestants - had a helipad for itself planned on the other side of the island alongside a fueling station, but that right beside it was a building only marked as 'Elimination Area'. Chris scratched his head at this, under the assumption that it was the dock that would yet again return as the method of elimination. Granted, neither of the four producers had even told Chris what method of elimination was to be deployed this time, but his natural assumption was that like they always do the dock is the elimination area whenever there is one. If anything, he assumed that perhaps the helicopter would be used as the method of elimination, and put it behind him; ignoring it until that 'bridge' was crossed.
The second discrepancy that Chris noticed was that in addition to the above issues, the dock didn't even have any additional attachment to itself to use as the method of elimination. The first season had a boat, the second season and third seasons weren't on islands but used a limousine and a plane respectively, the fourth used a catapult, the fifth a humorously oversized toilet, and the sixth didn't have a dock but used a cannon regardless. This season, however, had the dock but the blueprints or season plans that Chris received made not one single mention of the method of elimination this time at all. It was as if there was none.
Chris could have spent hours trying to solve this issue of his, but did not have the time to do so. Once the final plank of the dock was constructed, it was time for Chris to rush to the dock to begin filming the actual first episode of the season. This, of course, he did in his usual manner. A happy - if not egotistical - smile on his face, his clothes and hair all nicely done up to be perfect, his five-o-clock shadow groomed to perfection. The man's smile turned into something almost of a grin as he faced the camera for the first time since the end of Pahkitew Island - which was longer of a wait than one would think - and finally spoke the words which he had been waiting to speak since he first arrived on the island:
"Yo! Chris McLean here, and I'm coming at you live from Pomewin Island, where we're going to bring to you the latest season of the hit reality show, Total Drama!", with the cameras now on him he walked down the dock a bit further until he was on the end of the last plank placed upon it, "Now, last season on the show was Pahkitew Island. Things were awesome there, but we did have a little bit of a mishap when the merge hit and the island kind of had a malfunction problem. However, this is POMEWIN Island! A one hundred percent REAL island located somewhere off the coasts of our good homeland, Canada! For this season, we've brought along fifty-four past contestants to compete whether they want to or not in the hopes of winning the coveted million dollar prize we've had since Season Two! The twist is though, that some of the contestants are actually from that spin-off show the Ridiculous Race or whatever it was called. I didn't really care to watch it. Not enough humiliation for my taste."
It was then that the sound of helicopters came within earshot of chris, specifically three military helicopters. In the pilot seats were mostly some irrelevant extra members of the staff, though beside them were one of the three other producers in each helicopter. Misato, Pertchgill, and even Hale - who had light blonde hair tied in a ponytail style - were all seated in the co-pilot seat, though all of them wore sunglasses. Due to them being present there were bodyguards visibly stationed behind them. The helicopters themselves served the purpose that you most likely expect - carrying the contestants. As such, Chris' grin grew wider when these vehicles approached. He was waiting for them to arrive.
"And what do ya know!", he exclaimed, "Here comes our contestants now!", he then turned to the camera one more time as the sounds of the helicopters neared; "By the way, they kind of don't know that they actually 'signed up' for this season, so if they seem a little ticked, that's probably why. But it'll make it great t.v.! But anywho, returning from the first three, and fifth, seasons of the show is none other than..."
The first contestants shown were none other than Cody & Sierra, coming from the helicopter was was in the center of the trio. Cody can be recognized from the first and third seasons, Sierra from the third and fifth. Cody was a boy who appeared younger than he really was, sporting white caucasian skin and short brown hair that was complimented by both a gap in his teeth and teal blue eyes. His clothes varied, but he was most known for a red/green striped cream sweater - over a collared formal shirt - and baggy blue jean pants. Sierra on the other hand, was different. She was significantly taller than Cody was, and sported purple hair - more than likely dyed - that was once a long ponytail though now a simple short one. She had more tanned skin than Cody, and had dark eyes. Her usual outfit was a small yellow shirt, tight light blue capri pants, and a locket around her neck.
The two were introduced pretty typically, being brought out into the camera's view by off-screen interns, Cody being pushed right out of the helicopter and into the waters below.
"Woaaaaaaaaaahhhh!", the boy screamed as he headed for the water.
"There's Cody!", Chris introduced, and of course as he kept looking up at the helicopter the boy came from, he saw Sierra rush up to the ledge herself: "And Sierra!"
"I'm coming Cody!", was the set of words that Sierra spoke immediately before jumping after Cody to join him in the waters of whatever body of water surrounded the island. It wasn't hard for any fan of the show to know that Sierra was quite the fan of Cody indeed. Either way, the splash that Cody made was pretty decently small and average, though the splash that Sierra made was abnormally large for a person even of Sierra's height. Once they both were in the water, the camera's focus went back to Chris:
"Now", he said, "Some of you viewers at home might be surprised as to why they're still alive. Well, don't worry. We'd never dream of letting one of our own die! If we did, we wouldn't be able to have a next season! Hahaha."
It is unfortunate, but Chris did not let neither Cody nor Sierra have much time to actually be introduced, since just as soon as they surfaced from being submerged - Sierra having to take Cody into her arms, or just wanting to - already the next pair of contestants were being brought from the same helicopter. Ironically enough the next two rounded out the final four of season three with them: Heather and Alejandro.
Heather & Alejandro were two of Total Drama's most popular and well known contestants, Heather being practically a regular cast-member of the franchise let alone series. Heather was a girl of east asian descent that had the appropriate skin tone aswell as eye shape for such descent, coinciding with long black hair, and a thin and attractive body build. Her usual attire was a pair of short shorts with wedge heels and a small red top which covered essentially just the top part of her chest. Alejandro on the other hand, was very different from her indeed. He was a muscular and extremely fit Hispanic boy - born in Spain but raised in Latin America - with the tan skin and shoulder length brown hair that complimented his green eyes. He sported a soul patch and a bull necklace to go with his red collared shirt and dark pants. The only shoes he ever seemed to wear were boots. The way they exited the helicopter was different; Heather was thrown by the unseen figure out of the open door, while Alejandro was actually allowed to peacefully walk up to the edge and dive off of it after her. For those who have seen the show, the reason for this was obvious, while for those who have not it will become more clear later on.
"And some of our most famous contestants, Heather and Alejandro!", of course as the host said that on the docks, Heather was not at all happy about being thrown from a helicopter;
"Just you wait until I get to you, Chris!"
"She's so beautiful when she's angry", was Alejandro's only comment regarding Heather prior to them both falling into the water with Cody and Sierra. There was a brief moment before the next two contestants were introduced, once Sierra noticed them:
"Hey guys!", she said to them, "Long time no see! Ya know, this takes me back to Season Three. Good times, huh?"
"Yeah", Heather answered, "If by good times you mean lame times."
"Oh Heather", Sierra lightly giggled, "You never change. Anywho, how's running away from Fang been treatin' you two?", once Sierra said that, Cody lightly snickered. Alejandro glared angrily at the two as if he took personal offense to that.
"What are you two doing here at all anyway?", Heather asked, "I thought Chris said he'd only bring back the SANE contestants."
"I dunno", Cody stated, "One second I was sleeping in my bed...then a bunch of shadowy figures broke into my room, knocked me out, and I woke up in the helicopter."
"If only I had been there", Sierra responded, "But the same thing kinda happened to me. Except to be fair, I was trying to escape from a top secret military base with a bunch of alien Cody clones."
"Uh...okay...", Heather had no comment to the latter part of Sierra's statement, "So basically, we were all outright brought against our wills this time?"
"Pretty much", Cody, Sierra and Alejandro spoke in unison at that one.
"I'm surprised he didn't think of that sooner, in all honesty."
On that point, things immediately went back to Chris, who had a smirk onto his face as he gazed upon the next two contestants that were being thrown from the helicopter. It seemed as though he actually had more interest in these two - or more than likely one of the two - than that of the previous for contestants revealed. The reason behind this was more than simple, the next two contestants - who were thrown immediately out of the helicopter by whatever unseen figure was doing this to the contestants - were none other than Beth and Lindsay.
Beth & Lindsay were also Total Drama veterans, Lindsay admittedly more-so than Beth. The two were good friends with each other as a result, despite being near complete opposites. Lindsay was a big-breasted girl known for her signature blonde hair of long length and beautiful volume, her crystal blue eyes, and her blue bandana which she always wore on her head. She typically wore a red top underneath a brown sleeveless breast, and a rather short orange skirt with brown heeled boots. Beth, her closest friend, was a girl known for sporting pink pants, and a blue top which had a green scouts vest on it. She wore glasses and sported brown hair which additionally sported a side ponytail hairstyle. As stated before, both girls weren't even given the time to properly introduce themselves before being rudely shoved out of the helicopter, though Chris at least did his job in doing that for them:
"and what would a season be without Lindsay and Beth?!"
"Weee!", Lindsay gleefully 'chirped' as she descended towards the water, seemingly unaware or ignoring the fact she was brought here against her will, "This is so much fun! I almost forgot what falling out of a plane felt like!"
"I just can't believe they chose me to be on Total Drama again!", Beth added in after her friend, joining her in the descent, "I was thinking they forgot about me!"
"Like oh my gosh!", Lindsay gasped, "I would never forget about you Beth! Just like I would never forget about Corey, Sally, Hannah and Alepancake down there!"
"Huh?", and then Beth looked down and saw the four down below them, she waved to them with a happy look to her face, "Hey guys!", only Cody and Sierra returned her wave. At least, before she and Lindsay joined them in the water with a splash.
It was indeed amazing that Chris didn't give much of a chance for neither Lindsay or Beth to have any real screen time with the previous four to arrive before them, but he didn't. Instead, he immediately tried to shift attention over the next two to arrive. These two were both boys, and were none other than the two Total Drama boys known as Tyler and DJ.
Tyler was a brunette haired jock boy, who always wore a mostly red sports suit - track pants, track jacket, headband, the works. His eyes were the same colour as his hair - brown. DJ, the person to be introduced alongside him, was even buffer of a boy than Tyler. A Jamaican, he sported the appropriate dark skin to show this, and had a taller and buffer body than that of Tyler. He sported beady black eyes and a shaven look to his hair, with a beard. Not a thick beard, but a thin beard of sorts. His attire was a green shirt with an orange 'D' on it, a white cap, and simple grey shorts. When it came to introducing their names, it appears as though Chris actually was a bit disdainful against at least one of the two.
"...and not last or least, except for maybe one of them, DJ and Tyler!", and with that we can go to how Tyler and DJ found themselves off of the helicopter and down into the waters below with the others. Firstly, Tyler was different from the others in that he actually willingly jumped off of the helicopter:
"I'm comin' baby!", was the set of words he used as he took his willing fall. He was of course referring to Lindsay, who happened to be his girlfriend.
Tyler's intention was to land in water just like she did, but of course things don't go as planned for him as fate had different ideas. Basically, instead of hitting the water, he hit the dock instead. He still fell into the water through the dock, however.
"Ow...", was all Ty said as he sank into the water.
"Tyler!" Lindsay gasped before swimming over to retrieve her boyfriend. All while, Chris - who had stepped out of Tyler's way to let him fall -, snickered at what had happened before letting out his own comment:
"Well, some things just never change."
Focus then went to the person who was in the helicopter with Tyler; DJ. DJ was not the bravest of boys, and this showed as he was on the edge of the helicopter already shaking in fear from just being kidnapped. His fear was further shown by the things he said as he was faced with being forced to jump:
"Oh come on now man!", he complained, "Why did y'all have to go and take me from my mama! What if somethin' happens while I'm gone? Why do I gotta jump?! What is this even about?!"
"JUST JUMP!", the voice which said that was androgynous and butch sounding, very raspy, and due to the cruelty in it's tone it actually made DJ slightly jump in fear.
"Ah! Don't hurt me!"
"THEN JUMP!"
"...nuh-uh! I'm not doing this again! Not without-", he wasn't able to finish his sentence due to the figure who owned the voice deciding to 'cut to the chase' and bluntly shove him out of the helicopter before he could do so. "AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!", he started screaming in fear the moment he was pushed.
All the while, the previous ones to arrive - Cody, Sierra, Heather, Alejandro, Lindsay, Beth and Tyler - were looking up at the now descending DJ as he screamed at the top of his lungs basically all the way down.
"Wow", Alejandro reminisced, "It's like he's more of a coward than I remember him being."
"Hey", Cody angrily spoke back, "Would it kill you to actually be a kind person once in your life?"
"Like I'm going to take lip from some pathetic geek."
"Hey! I think I see Fang over there!"
"Wh-ha. You're not going to fool me with that."
"Alejandro", Heather then lightly pushed him as she was looking up aswell as concerned, "You might want to move a little bit."
"Why my-", and then DJ cut off Alejandro mid-sentence by falling right ontop of him, making both of them crash into the water.
"That's why" was the only comment Heather said on the matter prior to focus going back to Chris standing on the dock with that ever present smile to his face.
"Well", the host spoke, "That's two more victims-I mean contestants, that have been introduced! Out of a total of 54!"
"Fifty-Four?", Beth questions, "That's kind of, a lot."
"Yes. Yes it is", Chris answered, "But it's what the Producers decided so you'll have to deal with it."
"But a season has never been that big before."
"Well this is a very big season."
"Oooooh!", Lindsay suddenly gasped and clapped her hands while she was inbetween both Tyler and Beth in the water, "I hope Lefawndah's gonna come back too! She's like, SOOOOO much fun!"
"It's LeShawna", Heather corrected her as she retrieved her own boyfriend from the water, "And yeah, I have mixed feelings about THAT idea."
"Well, while it might be a little borderline of me to give a spoiler like this", Chris admitted, "but I will say that since LeShawna is the host of Canada's Next Top Actor and her own Talk Show, we were unable to get her for this season, so neither of you need to really be concerned about her right now."
"Lucky" Heather commented to herself.
"Awwww", Lindsay moped, "She's like, the best though! Remember when she locked Heather in the fridge?"
"Yeah!", Beth laughed, "Or when she slapped her tooth out?"
"I can not believe you lindsiots still remember that stuff." was Heather's only leering comment to the two, who just kept on giggling at her expense much to her displeasure.
"Anywho", and with that Chris brought attention back onto himself, "It's time for us to actually get back on with introducing everyone. Coming up next it's...", and then he looked back up at the helicopter which had just ejected it's latest two arrivals together; "Trent and Justin!"
Trent & Justin, the next two boys to arrive were of course also long time veterans of Total Drama. Trent was a caucasian boy who sported raven black hair to go with his own green eyes, and an overall fit physique. A musician, he wore black pants, a green shirt over a camouflage shirt, and simple green shoes. He was arguably one of the most popular males from the first - and to a lesser extent second - season of the show. Justin was of hawaiian descent and along with his crystal blue eyes and dark hair he sported the natural tan to show this off. He had well built and sculpted body to go along with and compete with Alejandro's, but his hair was shorter and he wore blue jean pants, sandals and a dark green shirt without any such collar on it.
Either way though, what was really important was none other than how the two were removed from the helicopter which brought them in. Both were, plain and simple, pushed directly out of the helicopter by whatever raspy voice figure was lurking off screen. Needless to say, the screaming commenced very shortly afterwards.
"AH! THIS IS SO NOT WHAT I SIGNED UP FOR BACK IN SEASON ONE!", Trent screamed out during his descent.
"TECHNICALLY IT IS, BUT I KNOW WHAT YOU MEAN DUDE!", Justin added in, not far behind Trent at all.
"AAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHH", and it was at that point that the two of them both hit the water with a scream, splashing into it right alongside all of the others. Luckily, the two of them promptly resurfaced not long afterwards.
"Trent? Justin?", Cody was surprised to see the two here.
"Cody?", they both replied in unison.
"Yeah", the geek answered, "They kidnapped us for a new season of the show, apparently."
"We know", once more both of the two replied in unison, and then turned to each other with raised eyebrows, "Stop doing that."
"Okay", and then Heather spoke up, "As much as I would LOVE to keep this reunion show going on, CHRIS, it would be very NICE of you to just speed through this nonsense so I can just get to my million dollars already!"
"Well", Trent commented, "Some people haven't changed at all now have they?"
"Oh shut it. You're probably only here because weird goth girl's here too."
"Well...", and then the musician turned to Chris, "Is Gwen here?"
"I already spoiled LeShawna's not" Chris answered, "I'm not allowed to make any further spoilers."
"Bummer..."
"Dude, c'mon", Justin patted Trent on the shoulder, "You don't need Gwen to be in this new season."
"Yeah!", Cody then had a sheepish smile, "I got over Gwen after Season Three, just do what I did."
"And what did you do to get over her?", Trent raised an eyebrow at that, partially surprised Cody was over a crush he'd had since Season One of the show, but before Cody could even answer with his strategy, Sierra butted in with her own input:
"Simple!", she then pulled Cody in close to her, "He thought of ME!", both Trent and Justin shuddered at the mental imagery.
"Actually I-"
"Sssh!", Sierra shushed him, "It's okay. They already know how to get over Gwen now. No need to say any more, Codykins."
"But-"
"Ssssh!"
"Ugh, fine..."
"Well, anyway", Justin added in, changing the subject, "I'm just glad they finally brought me back here. Who knows, maybe I just might-", he then noticed Alejandro was also amongst those in the water, "Oh, Nevermind."
"Nevermind what?", Alejandro asked, raising his eyebrow with a smirk on his face.
"Oh I think you know", Justin had this competitive look to his eyes, while Ajenadro had what was an effective 'poker face', so to speak.
"Mi amigo, I'm afraid I do not. You will have to be a bit more specific."
"I'm not your amigo."
"and neither am I", Trent was quick to add in, both him and Justin glaring at Alejandro, something which Cody also joined the two in.
"Don't tell me you two plan on fighting me right now."
"Oh don't worry, AL", Cody mocked, "We wouldn't dream of it. I mean, we'd probably break you given that your wrists twist so easily.", and while everyone except Heather and Tyler found that mocking funny, Alejandro just scowled at it in personal offense.
"Don't make me repeat the Season Three finale."
"I'd like to see you try.", Cody of course was confident in saying that given that not only Sierra but also Trent and Justin were there to 'have his back' so to speak, leaving Alejandro outnumbered and out-powered. After some scowling, Alejandro simply folded his arms and turned away from his enemies, only to be comforted by Heather.
"While I do enjoy the drama going on here", Chris admitted to once more bring attention back to himself, "We kind of have a show to start here, so if you don't mind, I'm going to introduce the next contestants, alright?"
"It's about time!", Heather exclaimed.
"Right, well, next up...Gwen!"
"I knew it!", Trent exclaimed, looking up at the helicopter in the hopes of seeing his -former- beloved. Justin had this worried look to his face too, Sierra just had her eyes on Cody and did infact look a bit concerned herself to some extent. Regardless, Gwen was soon seen looking down from above at all of them in the water.
Gwen was the primary goth girl of the show, and sported short hair that had teal/green streaks in it but was overall dark, and an over all dark outfit, a short shirt and skirt with leggings and boots, all of them being dark in colouring. Her skin was paler than that of the other girls, and despite all of her shortcomings she is many times seen as one of the most iconic female figures of Total Drama as a whole. Yet here she was, looking down in fear not at the water, but at the figures in it.
"Oh god, not this again. You kidnapped me for another season? Is that Trent down there? I can't do this, can we just vote me off and be done with it? Or, I dunno, maybe see who else is in those bags over there?", and then it was briefly revealed that indeed, all of the contestants were in large sacks before being released out onto the season.
"NO", the raspy voice explained, "EITHER YOU JUMP OR I THROW YOU!"
"Oh so she's afraid of being buried alive and to jump down from a helicopter, but NOT afraid to kiss somebody else's boyfriend!", and that voice was unmistakable to any fan of the show; Courtney. Short brown hair, tanned Hispanic skin, some freckles, dark eyes, and a preppy appearance with a grayish-brownish sweater, tight green capri pants, flats, and a collared undershirt. She had apparently woken up and found her own way out of the bag she was captured in, and was not happy to see Gwen returning for this season.
"Ugh, as if being in that bag wasn't bad enough", Gwen complained, "But you guys brought her back too? And she's still trying to look good after what she did last time!"
"I didn't do anything!" Courtney answered to defend herself.
"You made a chart of people to eliminate! You were totally going to betray me!"
"I had nobody else to get rid of! Friends or not we were still in a competition!"
"Yeah, exactly. We WERE friends too! Until you basically betrayed me AND Scott!"
"It was just a chart! It wasn't like I actually insulted you on it or anything! Do you have any idea what I went through after being eliminated on that season? It was horrible!"
"Oh boo-hoo. It's always about you and your problems. You are like the most self-serving contestant this show has ever had!"
"How dare you!" Courtney gasped, "I am NOT!"
"Oh yeah? Then name one NOT self-serving thing you've ever done!"
"Well, there's-"
"You know what, don't even bother. I know you couldn't even name any at all."
"That's not fair, you're not even letting me defend myself here at all!"
"There you go again. It's ALL about Courtney!"
"It is not!"
"Prove it!"
"Well, there's many people on this show besides just you and me!"
"Exactly! Like..."
"You're going to say Duncan, aren't you?"
"No! I wasn't! I was just hoping that Cameron's alright. Unlike you who probably was worried more about her hair!"
"Was not!"
It was then that groaning could be heard coming from one of the other bags, loud enough to actually attract both Gwen and Courtney to it. The figure with the raspy voice was still off screen but the shape of the large person could be vaguely seen, only relevant because it was unknown if it too was attracted to the groaning or not. Either way, Courtney and Gwen were.
"That sack's groaning!"
"Well, we should go and help who's in it."
"You're just saying that to make yourself look better!"
"You're just saying THAT to prove yourself right!"
"That doesn't even make sense!"
"Well neither do you!"
"OH NO!", that came from the Raspy voice figure, "YOU TWO ARE GETTING OFF THIS HELICOPTER AND THAT'S FINAL!", the two however managed to ignore the human exclaiming that to them and ran right for the groaning bag. It doesn't take a genius to realize they both had different expectations for what was inside the sack, since when they opened it and the head of a caucasian boy with piercings, blue eyes, a soul patch, and black hair with a green mohawk popped out they both immediately regretted opening the sack in the first place.
"Oh...", they both disinterestedly said in unison, "It's just Duncan."
"That's a bad thing now?", Duncan, the token delinquent boy on the show - and infact aside from his spiked collar he was wearing a typical orange prison uniform -, just cocked a brow at the way they were acting, "You two were so excited to check my sack before."
"Well", Gwen answered, "I thought you were Cameron!"
"and I thought you were Scott!", Courtney clarified for herself.
"Suuuuuure", Duncan doubted the two girls' honesty, either because he thought they were lying, because he had a large personal ego, or both, "Did you think I was one of those two back in London?"
"You know what Courtney?"
"What?"
"I take back what I said about you being the most self serving contestant", and then Gwen turned to Duncan, "I forgot HE was one too."
"Hey!", Duncan complained, "What's that supposed to mean?"
"IT MEANS", and then the Raspy figure grabbed Gwen and Courtney in one hand while Duncan in the other, "YOU GET OFF RIGHT NOW!", and it wasted no time in promptly and very rudely throwing all three of them off of the helicopter together.
"Gah!"
"Wah!"
"Woah!"
And before long, Gwen, Courtney and Duncan - in that order too - landed in the water and joined all of the previously arrived contestants. Chris smiled once all three of them resurfaced, infact his smile broke into a bit of a small grin. He even let out a bit of a comment regarding the three and the looks on their faces alongside that of their fellow contestants:
"Well, this season's going to be interesting".
Chris didn't introduce the next two contestants normally at all. Instead, things shifted directly back to the helicopter, where the raspy voiced figure was noticing some ruffles and noises coming from one sack in particular. It wasted little time in storming over that back only to come across the next two revealed contestants sharing said sack: Geoff and Bridgette.
Geoff & Bridgette had - outside of gender as Geoff was male while Bridgette a female - a good amount of physical similarities. Mainly, they both were blondes, though Bridgette had more greenish eyes unlike Geoff's blue eyes. Geoff was of Czech descent, Bridgette's descent is undisclosed. Geoff's hair was short, while Bridgette's was in a long ponytail. Geoff was known for his open pink collar shirt with blue shorts and sandals, while Bridgette for her blue hoodie jacket, sandals, and board shorts alongside being an avid surfer. Being one of the few couples to still be together since even the first season - though they have had their moments of trouble especially during the second and third seasons - to still be together, they showed this by in their 'reunion sack' they were quite clearly unable to separate each other's lips at all from the 'lip action' they were currently having after the time they spent being separate during the Ridonculous Race spin-off season.
"MmmMmmh, Geoff."
"MmmMmmh, Bridge."
"I missed you so much Geoff, I wish I could've been there to see you win that million!"
"Me too, baby. Was so awesome."
"I don't know who kidnapped us, but I'm glad they put us in the same sack."
"Me too."
"Oh brother" was the only annoyed words the Raspy voiced figure said before taking their sack, holding it outside of the helicopter, and shaking it to release them from it - by extension sending them down on their descent into the waters with the rest of their competitors.
"Oh look!", Chris exclaimed from above as Geoff and Bridgette descended down from the helicopter and into the waters below, amazingly still keeping their lips locked together, "It's Geoff and Bridgette, and what do ya know, they're doing as they always do."
"Awwwww!", Sierra commented, "They're just so happy to be together again! I wish SOMEONE would be as happy to see ME!"
"Sierra, we've been over this, we're just friends...best friends, not dating!", Cody tried to clarify to her, but it's evident that she was not paying attention to what he was saying, likely she was fanatasizing him saying something else entirely.
"Oh Cody. You're lips might appear to be different from what you're saying, but I know what you are saying is what you mean."
"Wait...what?"
"Okay, for real", Courtney suddenly complained, "Are we seriously going to be just staying in the water until all of the contestants are in here with us?"
"For once I agree with her", Heather added, "My fingers are starting to prune now!"
"Mine too", Alejandro gasped before turning to Chris, "You had better hope that the contracts don't disallow me suing over ruined looks!"
"Oh how the mighty have fallen", Chris shook his head at the two, "I expected so much more out of you two."
"What's that supposed to mean?!", was the only response the two made together to that, before Chris' attention was brought back to the Helicopter as he saw not one, not two, not three, but four contestants now lined up to actually be introduced all at once:
"It means...Izzy, Eva, Noah AND Owen are coming back too!"
Izzy, Eva, Noah & Owen were indeed the next four to arrive onto the scene - and all together at once to boot. Izzy was a girl who sported some good length of orange hair, to go along with her green eyes and overall green outfit - a semi-revealing top and some shorts under a towel-like skirt and some simple shoes all of which were green in hue - and was known as the show's original 'crazy' contestant. Eva was a seldom seen veteran of the show, known for her strength, her brown eyes, her black ponytail, her unibrow, her butch muscular physique, and her near completely blue gym outfit and tough demeanor. Noah was a scrawny boy of Indian - from India - descent who had the natural tan to show for it. He sported a weird wrinkle on his forehead which one girl found attractive, and had short brown hair, and wore a trademark red sweater over a blue collared shirt and a white undershirt, khaki shorts, and simple sneaker shoes. He was best known as the show's resident sarcastic snarker. Owen was the most obese, heaviest and largest contestants on the show, and was a dark-eyed, blonde-haired contestant with an iconic white shirt that had a blue maple leaf logo on it, and green pants - they used to be of a different colour though -, and was known for being the original winner of the first season to the series.
"GAH!", Owen freaked out on the ledge of the helicopter's door, "Why's it gotta be heights?! WHY?!"
"Come on, Big O", Noah commented determinedly, "If we could get through the Ridonculous Race, we can get through this. I need to make sure that if Emma's down there she's okay."
"I don't think she's down there. I see Heather though. Ooh, and Lindsay, and Trent, and Gwen, and ooh dear they brought Courtney back too. Oh and Cody and Sierra! Even Al's back!"
"Of course Al's back", Noah rolled his eyes, "But just jump already!"
"Come on blubber boy!", Eva angrily spoke herself, "DO IT!"
"Gah! Okay, here I go!", and then Owen managed to jump himself off of the helicopter, screaming as he did so of course. Needless to say, the ones in the water below him - even Chris who was on the dock - tried with all their speed to get out of the way as his big girth came crashing down onto them, but it was to little avail as the splash he made was quite gigantic enough to get all of them wet anyway, and even enough to make a miniature tidal wave over the island's coastline too.
"Well", Noah commented as he looked down below the entire time, "His weight certainly has changed at all judging by the size of that splash."
"Aw", Izzy added in, "I like that about him. His chubbiness is what makes him Big O!"
"Well, I can't argue much with that."
"I'm just surprised you got yourself a girlfriend, Noah!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"I dunno, I always thought you swang the other way, if you know what I mean."
"That...was...an...accident! And you swore that you would never speak of it again!"
"Well it's not breaking the promise if I'm speaking of it to just you soooo, yeah."
"Hmph", Noah just pouted in response to that, clearly unhappy.
"Come on ladies", Eva called out, "Let's get this show on the road!"
"Oh Eva", Izzy assured her, "There's no reason to rush!"
"This is my first season since the first one, and I plan on winning this time!"
"With all due respect, Eva", Noah added in, "They just abruptly kidnapped us from our homes to force us to participate this time. What makes you think this isn't some elaborate hoax to murder us all one by one like some stereotypical slasher film just for cheap ratings or money or some weird conspiracy like that?"
"They didn't kidnap me", Eva explained, "They tried, but I got them to actually beg for my return to the show. It wasn't that hard. They sent like, the fakest tough guys I've ever seen. I've torn off doorknobs more tougher than them."
"You know, I wonder why I didn't expect that to be your answer to that."
"Alright, alright, ALRIGHT", the raspy voiced figure suddenly interrupted their catching-up, "It's time for you three to get off this helicopter already! I have to go get some boils on my feet lanced already in a couple hours!"
"Okay, T.M.I." Noah was disturbed, Eva indifferent, and even Izzy was a bit disgusted.
"Whatever, just GET OFF THE CHOPPER!"
"Hey guys!", Izzy suddenly exclaimed while putting her arms over both of their shoulders, "How about we jump together! Just like the good ol' days of Team E-Scope!"
"Whatever", both Eva and Noah replied in unison.
"YAY! GERANIMO!", and with those words Izzy, Eva and Noah all took one shared jump off of the helicopter into the waters down below. With the rest of the cast just recovering from Owen's big splash, view of them ready for their splash, which proved to be even greater than Owen's in almost reaching the helicopter itself, and splashing Chris on the dock with even more water than before aswell. His umbrella was most ineffective.
"Ah, hah, ah", Chris was panting while having been knocked his back by the blast, "Well...that was Team E-Scope, apparently. Back in action. Next up...Harold...", and while the host tried to recover - as did the others save for Team E-Scope, focused went back up to the helicopter once more as indeed, the next contestant was being revealed.
Harold was basically the original 'dweeb' of the series, a freckled redhead caucasian boy with glasses, a nasely voice, tall and very scrawny figure, a blue cheeseburger themed shirt, a reddish pinkish undershirt, green-brownish pants, sneakers, the works. He was about as 'nerdy' and 'geeky' as it got for Total Drama, even sporting yes a bit of stubble on his chin. Needless to say, he too had a very basic response to being once more forced to participate in yet another season of Total Drama:
"So this is another season of Total Drama, huh?"
"YES", the raspy voiced figure replied most bluntly.
"And we've been kidnapped to participate in it?"
"What was your first clue?"
"Yes! Excellent chance to finally show off my even more improved mad skills! I hope LeShawna's going to be there to watch!"
"LeShawna's not in it."
"GOSH!"
"Look are you gonna jump on your own or do you need me to throw your scrawny butt down there myself?"
"Nah, it's cool. I can jump on my own, it's better that way."
"Suit yourself."
"Righteous!", and with those Harold leapt himself from the helicopter and willingly fell down to the waters below. However, his landing was less than good, as he smacked the water as if it were solid ground - much to his dismay. "Not righteous...", and then he sank until the water until his friends and Trent & Justin willingly retrieved him.
"Okay", Heather once more opened her mouth, "That pretty much wraps up the original cast. Minus LeShawna."
"Nu-uh!", Sierra was quick to point out, "There's still Katie and Sadie!", and then she suddenly became disinterested as she said the next part of her sentence, "and Blaineley too, as if she counts at all."
"I meant anyone that actually matters."
"Welp, Sierra", Chris drew attention to himself again, "Thanks for spoiling the next two arrivals. Except for Blaineley. The producers decided not to include her for this. They didn't tell me why."
"Good", Geoff commented, "I was hoping she wouldn't be here anyway."
"I still think that was SO against the rules!", Courtney added in, "Her just randomly barging into the competition like that!"
"Didn't she technically win a contest though?", Cody pointed out, "I mean-"
"IT DOESN'T MATTER!", Courtney exclaimed.
"Courtney!", Sierra spoke back, "Don't raise your voice at Cody like that! It's my job to scold him when he speaks lies out of turn!"
"Lies? But it's-"
"Sssssh, just be quiet and let me do all the talking, Cody. You clearly don't know what you're saying when it comes to things outside of your comfort zone, and it's my job as your best friend and number one fan to make sure that you are always comfortable 24/7!"
"Uh...are you sure you're not still a little bit crazy from All-Stars? Cuz I thought we moved past this already..."
"A little bit crazy?", Trent whispered to Justin.
"I guess it's just his way of coping with it", Justin whispered back, "Imagination and all that.", Trent just nodded in understanding response, as did Harold who was within earshot.
"Wow", Noah remarked, "And you guys wonder why I was so happy to be on the Ridonculous Race. I thought all of this drama was reserved for Bookface."
"O-M-G that's right!", and then suddenly Sierra - with Cody in tow - swam over to Noah, "Noah, I totally forgot to ask you about your time on that spin-off! I mean, oh my gosh, the fan-base just EXPLODED when you got a girlfriend! I was finally able to take you off of my list!"
"List? List of what? People to consider assassinating?"
"Uh...", Sierra then looked around a bit - something which slightly disturbed Noah - before replying with, "Nah, it was a list of...potential...um...single boys?"
"Riiiiiiight", and Noah backed away a bit, specifically to be behind Eva, "I totally trust that."
"Oooh oooh!", Izzy suddenly started speaking once, "Back when I had my license to kill I used to have an assassination list! I never got to finish it before it expired though."
"How far did you get on it?", Eva questioned, raising a brow.
"Okay okay okay!", Chris suddenly interrupted, "Family show people, family show! No talking about killing people or anything! We've still got PLENTY of other kids to bring on so we've gotta speed through this, okay? Okay, up next is KATIE AND SADIE!"
Katie & Sadie were the last of the Season 1 - 3 contestants to be revealed as participating in the season, and judging by the squeals they made from being called out they were most happy about that fact. Both were young caucasian girls, both wore the same pink short shorts and black/white striped tops, aswell as pink flats, but everything else about them was almost entirely different. For one, Katie had a tan on her, and was taller and skinnier while Sadie was whiter, shorter and fatter. Both had their dark hair in two double ponytails.
One of many things they had common of course, besides hairstyle and clothing - and personality - was what they were doing at that very moment. Namely, holding hands, standing right on the edge of the opened helicopter door, looking down at everyone below them with happy smiles to their faces.
"Oh my gosh, Sadie", Katie gushed, "I can't believe they finally picked us to come back again!"
"I know right, Katie?, Sadie replied with the same gushing tone, "I mean, the way they brought us here was scary, but look, all of our friends are here!"
"I see them! Awww, there's no LeShawna?"
"Really, oh my gosh noooo!"
"But at least everyone else is here!"
"Yes! Especially Trent and the Drama Brothers! Eeeh!"
"Oh my gosh! I know!", and then Katie gasped when she got an idea in her head, "Oh Sadie, what if this is a sign that we're gonna be the next winners?!"
"Oh my gosh Katie that would be so Eeeh!"
"I know!"
"EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEH!", and that last sign of dialogue was them squealing in unison before jumping out of the helicopter together to join their fellow contestants. Once they resurfaced they wasted little time in greeting everyone else in unison too: "Hey guys!"
"Ugh", Heather groaned in annoyance, "Not those two again."
"You know", Beth said back, "We could all say the same thing about you, Heather". In response to that, Heather growled while Beth, Lindsay, Katie and Sadie all giggled in agreement at disliking said 'Queen Bee'.
"Okay", Gwen suddenly broke the silence, "That's everyone except for LeShawna and Blaineley who aren't part of this, so can we just get out of the water already?"
"No!", Chris answered, "There's not fifty four of you guys yet, so no! We still have the other generations of cast to introduce!"
"O-m-g!", Katie gushed to Sadie, "We're going to meet the cast from the other seasons too!"
"So eeeeh!", Sadie responded, "I've always wanted to do that!"
"Me too!"
"Eeeeeeeeeeh!"
"Stop that!", Chris said to the two girls, "Both of you, stop that now!"
"Excuse me, usual torturer of us all?", Noah commented on his own, "No offense, but if you really are going to throw everyone one by one from the helicopters up there, we'll be here all day and you're going to make this introduction scene longer on your own."
"Noah's right", Courtney agreed, "I do NOT feel like being in this water that long just waiting for the rest of them to jump in!"
"Hey wait a minute", Beth spoke up, "LeShawna and Blaineley aren't the only ones that aren't missing, I think we've all forgotten about Ezekiel!"
"Oh my gosh", Lindsay gasped, "I so did...who was he again?"
"He's the home-schooled kid who got turned into a weird feral monster."
"Oh right, that's where I know him from!"
"Yeah...", Chris brought attention to himself for yet another moment in his life, "I forgot Ezekiel too. Turns out that due to how inhuman he is nowadays, both the EPA and PETA actually consider him more animal than human, so to avoid lawsuits of alleged 'animal abuse' I had no choice but to leave him in the fun zone with the other mutant monsters to keep them all happy. That's also partially why we're still not bringing Dakota back either. Or Sam, just because he'd be boring anyway."
"Well at least somebody's actually being kept safe", Bridgette replied, looking at Chris with a level of anger in her tone, "I bet you and your Producers don't even really care about people or animals at all."
"I take offense to that!", Chris shot back with, "There are things in this world that I care about!"
"Like what?"
"Well for one, myself. For two, my money. For three, Christmas!"
"Let me guess", Bridgette had a quite bored look on her face, "Because you get more money?"
"Haha. I like that Christmas too, but I mean my daughter."
"You...have a daughter?", not only Bridgette gasped in surprise, but everyone did. Even Noah and Eva. The only one who didn't gasp was Sierra due to already knowing that fact about Chris prior.
"You have a daughter...", Gwen replied, "But you do this to us on a regular basis?"
"Yes.", Chris said, "I do. On both accounts."
"So you wouldn't care if someone else did this kind of stuff to her at all?"
"Of course I would care! I would care dearly!"
"Then why do you do this stuff to us?", Bridgette asked, "If you wouldn't do it to your own daughter?"
"Because it's fun!", the host answered, "That and it's just how I am. It's fun torturing other people's kids."
"Wait a minute", Noah pointed out, "If you have a daughter, you must have a wife too...or had one. Let me guess, you tried this crap on her and she divorced you?"
"Hah...", and then Chris little mumbled an 'I wish' under his breathe, "No. In all honesty, I've already said enough about my priv-"
"Oooh! Oooh! I know the answer to that!", Sierra answered, much to Chris' annoyance:
"Sierra, we've got a show to run, you don't need to blab your mouth about every detail of my life! You can do it to Cody but not me!"
"Hey!"
"Hmph", Sierra pouted, "Fine."
"Alright then!", and then the grin on Chris' face returned, "All this filibustering has had the advantage of me coming up with how to speed up the introduction process. Without further adue, let's meet the remaining Seasons Four to Five and Season Six cast members all at once!", and with those words being spoken Chris gestured over to a large yacht that was coming in towards the docks of the island, carrying the aforementioned contestants. As he continued, it should be stated that all of the helicopters had since left the scene. "I give you...Mike, Zoey, Scott, Cameron, Jo, Lightning, Dawn, B, Staci, Brick, Anne Maria, Sky, Shawn, Jasmine, Beardo, Leonard, Sugar, Topher, Ella, Rodney, Amy AND Sammy!"
On that point, the yacht had finished it's approach to the dock, and once it stopped moving, it released from it's deck the contestants which Chris had just rollcalled. Most - not all - of the Season Four to Five and Season Six contestants of the Total Drama series.
Mike & Zoey were the first of the announced competitors to reveal themselves to the cameras filming them and everyone else. Yet another of the few couples that remained together through their time on the show, Mike and Zoey were of the 'second generation' of contestants - from Seasons Four and Five - to be specific about them. Mike was skinny and slender but under his teal shirt had a surprisingly toned physique, and was on par with boys like Duncan in terms of height. He sported tanned skin of Italian descent, spiky brown hair with matching eyes, and also sported blue jean pants and brown sneaker shows. His other unique trait was a gap in his teeth. Zoey on the other hand was quite different - due in large part to being female - for she was shorter in stature than Mike and also sported paler more white skin. Her hair was a rich auburn red and sported a single flower worn on one side of it, the style of hair being very small double ponytails. For clothing, Zoey simply wore flats, a pair of deep khaki capris, and a simple red top which matched the shade of her hair. In addition to all that was said before, the two were holding hands upon making their exit onto the wooden planks of the dock.
Scott & Cameron were only a pairing in regards to exiting the yacht at the same time, they were anything but a couple. Cameron was one of the shortest people ever to be involved in the series, a small and scrawny dark-skinned boy with short dark shaved hair and glasses over his dark eyes. A red hoodie jacket and yellow shorts with sneakers, he was a simple African-American boy known for spending most of his early life in a bubble along with sporting an overprotective mother. Scott was much taller and muscular by comparison to Cameron - but was really more on par with boys like Trent - and was a freckled redhead with blue eyes, a sleeveless white shirt, blue jean pants and dark coloured shoes. He was known for spending most of his life on a 'dirt farm' with his family. Both were also veterans of Season Four and Five. Cameron followed immediately after Mike and Zoey, while Scott was a short but notable distance behind the three.
Jo & Lightning were also only a pair in the sense they arrived closely together despite the fact that calling them a couple would be a most gross exaggeration of their relationship if not the polar opposite of it. Jo was a blue-eyed caucasian girl with shoulder-length blonde hair who seemingly wore a grey hoodie track suit at all times, while Lightning was a buff - more than all of the other guys thus far save for DJ - dark-skinned boy who sported shaved white hair - due to mutation of the fourth season - and wore a blue shirt with a lightning bolt and a '01' on it like that of a sports shirt with simple shorts and sneakers. Neither of the two seemed to really like eachother judging by the looks on their eyes, and this was of course due to a conflict they had since they participated in both the Fourth and Fifth Seasons of Total Drama.
Dawn & B were the next two contestants from Seasons Four to Six to arrive, and specifically they were yet again from Season Four though failed to return for Season Five. They arrived at a notable - but not far - distance from Lightning and Jo. Dawn was a short girl with relatively long blonde hair, pale skin compared to the majority of the other girls, and blue eyes who usually wore a collared shirt underneath a green long-sleeved sweater alongside a black skirt, purple leggings and black shoes. She was known to - claim to be - an aura reader aswell as one of the show's many nature loving contestants. B was a rather large dark-skinned boy - though not as dark-skinned as Lightning, Cameron or DJ - who wore a staggering two jackets, one of them a orange-red hooded one with the other being a open collared black one, the two jackets being coupled with both blue jean shorts and a matching - to the red one - hat which he wore upon his head. He also sported a few ear piercings, and his shaved dark hair was complimented with a soul patch upon his chin. He was perhaps best known for being the only contestant who did not speak once during his time on the show, though it is unknown if it is choice, coincidence, or a medical condition.
Staci, Brick & Anne Maria were the final three of the Season Four cast - neither of them had been in Season Five either - to arrive on the scene and they did so quite closely after Dawn and B. Staci was a girl of large weight but average height, with blue eyes and overall pink clothing - a hoodless but big-necked pink jacket, pink pants, and simple sneakers. She once had brunette hair though due to radiation from the fourth season she was rendered bald and usually wore wigs or hats to either hide this fact or simply didn't care and went out bald anyway - her wigs were usually her former hair colour anyway. Brick was the resident 'army brat' of the Total Drama series, and this showed by how he had as a hairstyle nothing short of a black crew cut, and even sported a bit of a unibrow; for clothing Brick wore an army green short-sleeved shirt with dog tags around his neck, and also a pair of shorts and boots very much befitting someone who had aspirations for the military. Anne Maria was one of the more peculiar girls from the show herself - at least in terms of her appearance. For starters, she was caucasian - presumably - though had quite a large artificial tan upon her skin, and her tendency to use hairspray led to her dark wavy, thick and poofy hair to be nearly rock solid at times. For clothes, she wore a dark hot pink top which only covered her breasts and upper back, with pale blue capri pants which were rather tight, and of course a set of flats which matched her choice of tops. Her figure can be described as taller than Dawn, but having an hourglass figure, so to speak. Despite what she believed, many of the males actually found her largely unappealing.
Sky, Shawn & Jasmine were the first three members of the sixth season - Pahkitew Island - to walk out onto the dock of Pomewin Island and did so relatively close to each other. This was somewhat fitting as the three were decently friendly with eachother to some extent. Sky was a girl who appeared asian but was actually of Cree descent, sporting short black hair and dream-catcher-like earrings. A gymnast, she wore tight black pants and a sleeveless cream-coloured top, and purple sneakers instead of more typical feminine shoes. Shawn is a boy of average height overall, and slender build. Shaggy but relatively short brown hair with a light amount of stubble on his chin, Shawn is the resident 'Zombie Nut' of the show, and wears a white turtleneck sweater under an orange vest, and simple blue jean pants for his usual outfit when on the show, he was also the boyfriend of none other than Jasmine. Jasmine is one of the tallest contestants of the show's history - even taller than that of Sierra and only shorter than that of the radioactively mutated Dakota - and is also from Australia rather than Canada, though it's unknown if she still resides in Australia or has since moved to Canada. Jasmine was an expert outdoor survivalist, and was a dark-skinned young woman of presumably aboriginal descent with a short black ponytail as a usual hairstyle of choice. She also had on her mostly khaki or light green coloured clothes such as survivalist shorts, boots, and a white shirt underneath her vest. She also even sported a hat upon her head and was one of the few girls to wear a hat regularly. As stated before, she was also Shawn's girlfriend, and their rather large height different was hardly a deterent. Her height did however seem to intimidate some of the other girls that had previously arrived - mostly the more competitive types. The males on the other hand had mixed reactions.
Beardo, Leonard & Sugar were the next of the season six contestants - that were involved in this season - to arrive on the scene from the yacht they were allowed to ride in on. Unlike the previous trio, none of these three were in romantic relationships - at least, in the two-sided sense of the word. Sugar was yet another of 'those' contestants, with poofy and well done-up blonde hair, a pink barely fitting blouse on her overweight plus-sized figure, and equally unfitting blue jean pants, with pink flats to top it and her makeup all off. With Shawn and Sky, she made up the Final Three of the Pahkitew season, and the Final Four with Jasmine. She was well known for having a typically 'redneck' accent of speaking, perhaps hinting at her heritage of sorts. Leonard was also one of 'those' contestants, and a boy for whom Sugar was smitten - though it is uncertain whether or not the feelings are returned. Leonard himself was a dark-skinned boy with freckles, though what else there is about him is unknown, since as a LARPer - Live Action Role Player- he almost always seems to wear his green wizard robe, complimenting fake grey beard - that dangles off of his chin as if it does not fit him or was put on incorrectly - and always has his wooden - or appearing-to-be wooden - wand on-hand. He most definitely drew mixed reactions from all of the other contestants. Beardo was the first contestant to be eliminated from the season - funny enough Leonard followed after - and was also a dark-skinned boy though one with both poofy facial hair and thick poofy dark hair - in the style of an afro - aswell. He wore a stained grey shirt to go with slightly baggy jean pants, with also came with suspenders over said stained shirt. Along with B, he also did not do much speaking and resorted mostly to making sound effects for reasons not actually covered in the season - though covered in his audition tape sent to the Producers.
Topher, Ella & Rodney were the penultimate set of Pahkitew Island contestants to step off of the yacht and onto the dock of Pomewin Island. Unlike the previous trios, it was definite that none of the three were in a relationship of any known kind. Topher was a boy of fit but slender body build, and height similar to that of Trent overall. The boy sported short brown hair with green eyes that complimented it well, and he did his best to look good, sporting a sleeve-up-to-the-elbows blue shirt with khaki pants that were eerily similar in colour scheme to that of Chris' own clothes - infact Chris seemed to dislike Topher in particular though remained silent about it for the time being. Ella on the other hand was very much dressed unlike many of the others - unless the colour pink counts. She dressed with her black hair done in a similar fashion to that of snow white, and in fact also added in a short pink princess dress as her primary attire aswell. Overall, she had a very fairy tale feel to herself, and it made her by far one of the more peculiar contestants of the Season Six cast. Rodney was amongst the buffest boys of the series, right up there with DJ in terms of the size of his muscles. He had a physical resemblence to Scott in the sense of being a redheaded and freckled caucasian boy, and have a background involving farm life. Rodney's usual attire were blue jean overalls over a simple white shirt, nothing too complex - befitting his simple life really. Speaking of which, he seemed neutral in terms of emotion as he stepped onto the dock, Ella was happy as she nearly always was while Topher had a casual smile to his face himself. All of the others who arrived before them had either neutral, slightly angry, or just casual emotions themselves.
Amy & Sammy were the last of the Pahkitew cast to arrive via the yacht, and were by far the least happy about doing so. Whether or not it was the circumstance or eachother though is up for you the viewer to decide. Due to them being identical twin sisters, their descriptions will thankfully be rather brief. For starts, both were of the same height and skinny cheerleader body build, and speaking of which the two girls also sported red/white cheerleading outfits, and the same hairstyle of light blonde shoulder-length hair and teal eyes. The only difference was that Amy sported a beauty mark - or mole - on one side of her face which Sammy lacked on her own face. Most of the males who had not been on the season seemed happy with the sight of two identical twin cheerleaders competing in this season. However, neither girl looked happy with the fact, and it was ultimately Amy who was the first of all these newly introduced contestants to speak;
"Oh my GAG!", she loudly complained, "That was the WORST yacht ride ever? You wanna know why?! Because SHE was on it!", the 'she' that the girl was speaking of was none other than Sammy, her own sister.
"Ugh", the other twin groaned, "WHY do you have to that all of the time?!"
"Because you are YOU and I can't stand YOU so THERE, that is your reason! Stop acting like you're better than me since the least time we did this because we're not!"
"How so?!"
"Because you failed to actually outrank me AND you cheated me out of the rightful win, so therefore you are still the inferior twin!"
"Ooh, that makes no sense at all!"
"Yes it does!"
"To you!"
"And that's all the sense that matters!"
"You know what", Jasmine commented in a light but annoyed tone of voice while standing next to Shawn and Sky, "I've about had it with Amy.", both of the two she was standing by nodded in silent agreement.
"Girls, girls, girls!", Chris interrupted the two's fight by getting inbetween them, "Save the fighting for later on in the episode, we're already going to be running this episode for longer than usual!"
"FINE!", the two angrily growled at eachother before turning away, with crossed arms.
"So", Heather spoke up, "Those are the losers you got to replace us?"
"Loser?!", Amy took offense to that and looked directly at Heather angrily, "I am NO loser! Besides, at least I actually kept my hair through MY season!"
"Oh it is ON!", Heather was about to swim towards Amy to fight with her, though Alejandro restrained her from doing so. Amy just crossed her arms and looked on while standing on the dock, smiling at Heather being restrained.
"O-M-G this is like so exciting", Sierra herself let out, still having Cody by her side, "You wouldn't believe how many fan fictions have this exact type of scenario happening! All of the cast meeting up! Oh if only I was able to bring my cellphone to capture all of this!", and it was then that she gasped and took notice of Cameron, "HI CAMERON!"
"GAH!", Cameron immediately panicked and hid behind Mike and Zoey - who were still holding hands and smiling happily - out of fear to Sierra. The fangirl didn't seem to take notice of his fear, or simply didn't pay any mind to it. "I thought I wouldn't have to face this again!"
"You'd think after two seasons you'd be used to it", Jo said to him, "This is Total Drama, not one of those Real Housewife shows."
"Well after last time, can you blame me?!"
"Ha, that's true. You never were a strong one. Not like me. This is totally gonna be MY season."
"Oh sha-no it ain't!", Lightning indeed struck his words out quick, "This is gonna be Sha-Lightning's season!"
"Well meat for brains, you already had your chance. Twice."
"So did you so Lightning doesn't see your point."
"Oh really? Well don't worry, you're gonna see my point when I whoop your butt in the first challenge later."
"Oh boy", Gwen commented while rolling her eyes in the water she was swimming in, "This is going to be All-Stars all over again!"
"At least Scott's back.", Courtney then proceed ed to smile and wave at Scott, who did notice her though quickly crossed his arms and turned away from her without saying any words. Gwen took this chance to talk back to her:
"Face it Courtney, me and Scott, and many others, are so over your crap."
"I see...", all Courtney did about this is, even for her, feel quite bad for herself. As this occurred though, there was a conversation on the docks, specifically when Rodney - who was now standing beside Scott - commented as he gazed at all of the girls that he hadn't met on Pahkitew Island as if he were in love with them.
"Oh wow...all the pretty girls...", he gushed, "They're all so...perty..."
"Pfft, if you want Courtney you can have her", Scott bluntly commented with attitude in his voice, "Worst mistake I ever made was being talking to her at all."
"Aww I don't know", Rodney replied, "She seems like a nice girl."
"Trust me, looks can be decieving when it comes to that one."
"Well, do you think any of the other girls here would like me?"
"I dunno, you can try some of the single ones if you really wanna gal here. But I'd definitely never put any full trust in any of 'em. They're worse than the sharks!"
"Yeah right", Sugar suddenly interrupted their conversation, "Sharks ain't nothin'. All you gots to do it's bop 'em on the nose and they're done like chicken dinner!"
"Well", Scott answered, "Not the Sharks I've seen."
"You must be messin' with some mutant Sharks or somethin' then."
"H-how...how'd you know?"
"Know what?"
"Nevermind..."
It was at that point which things went to Sky, having a look on her face similar to that of Courtney, as right infront of her was the sight of Mike and Zoey, holding hands and gazing into eachother's eyes, with the look of true love upon their faces. It didn't help that Geoff and Bridgette kissing once more was also a nearby sight. Sky's focus though, was on Mike and Zoey.
"Oh Mike", Zoey said to her boyfriend, "If there's anyone I'd be happy to be kidnapped with, it's you."
"Same here, Zoey", Mike said back to her, lightly bumping his nose onto her's, "Even if I said I'd never want to do this again, heheh."
"Well, we didn't really have a choice this time."
"Hahaha, you're right. I guess we really didn't."
"But it's alright. I still have you, and we still have the million from last time, to share together."
"Right and right, heheh. I love being a millionaire with you, Zoey...even if we've kinda blown through a lot of the money already anyway."
"Oh, right...it's my fault, Mike, I totally spent too much on indie films."
"Your fault? It's my fault, I spent way too much on that after All-Stars romantic dinner."
"But what about those games I bought for you off of Mist? They all cost so much together."
"They were a great gift, but remember how much I paid for your college tuition as a surprise gift? That was a lot too!"
"Oh Mike, I guess it's both of our faults."
"Heheheh, yeah, it sure is.", and it was then that Sky felt the most broken hearted, for the two kissed upon the lips at that point. Jasmine and Shawn, who took notice of the way she looked, knew the reason of course. It was Jasmine who spoke up about it:
"Sky? Are you alright there, mate?"
"Yeah", Sky spoke with a sigh, "I am...it's just..."
"Are you still thinking about Dave?"
"Yeah...a little bit...and Keith too...I lost them both...and it's all my fault."
"Dave just overreacted, it's him who lost you, if you ask me."
"Besides", Shawn added in, "Last I heard, he was still on Pahkitew Island, so I don't think you have anything to worry about! Totally free to get over him soon enough! Better do it before the Zombies rise up."
"Oh Shawn, you and those Zombies of yours...anyway, I guess you're right, it's not like Dave's here at all. Otherwise he would've been on the Yacht with us."
"Exactly", Jasmine replied, "Besides, who knows, maybe you'll find your one TRUE love during this season!"
"I hope so...", and it was then that a more confident Sky turned to Chris, "So, Chris...are we the last ones to arrive?"
"Well-"
"No you can't be!", Sierra exclaimed, dragging attention onto herself much to Chris' annoyance, "There's supposed to be fifty-four of us total, AND there's three people from your season missing! Dave, Max and Scarlett!"
"Thanks for interrupting me yet again, Sierra", Chris angrily gritted his teeth before returning to Sky, "Well, Scarlett and Max are not returning for this season due to me wanting to keep my word about them being the most eliminated contestants in Total Drama history, to put it lightly. As for Dave...heheh...guess who's just arriving next!"
"Oh no..."
"It's nice to know you feel that way, Sky", and that voice was none other than the voice of the last Pahkitew Island contestant to arrive: Dave. He was a boy of indian descent - just like Noah -, and sported a cream collared shirt under a teal blue vest, brown pants, and black/white sneakers. His hair was short and black, having regrown since he lost it at the end of the season, and his dark eyes were leering angrily at the one who he once had loved - Sky.
"Dave...I..."
"Save it. I get it. Not even my own parents cared enough about me to get me off that island! I only got off because they kidnapped me to be part of this! You could've made them send for help but NOOOOOOOO, you and your selfish self decided it was best to break my heart and then leave me to die!"
"Selfish?! But-"
"But nothing! You don't know what it's like to be in my shoes! Driven crazy by everyone around you, chased and mauled by a robotic bear, left stranded on an island with nobody who cares for you at all! I hope you got everything you DESERVE! I hope Keith DUMPED you! Heck, I hope he CHEATED on you! Because you don't deserve ANY boyfriend AT ALL!"
"Oh my", Ella added in herself, "That's nothing like the Dave I once thought was my prince..."
"Well maybe Prince Dave isn't so much of a prince after he went through the worst experience of his life!", Dave exclaimed to her with a similar level of attitude. All Sugar did was laugh at Ella being 'told off' like that.
"He told you", Sugar mumbled to herself, enjoying this moment as of then. Ella just gasped, not wanting to get in the middle of this anymore seeing at how mad Dave was. However, most of Dave's anger was actually directed at Sky. Everyone else for the moment also just watched as this played out.
"For your information, Dave!", Sky suddenly started talking back to him, "It was YOU who decided to go all crazy and try to MURDER ME!"
"I did no such thing!", Dave replied before sarcastically snarking, "I wanted to take the money and burn it infront of you, which would require you to be alive to see it."
"THAT'S STILL IRRATIONAL!"
"I WAS IN LOVE WITH YOU, AND YOU SAID YOU LIKED ME, ONLY I THEN FIND OUT YOU ALREADY HAD A BOYFRIEND! HOW WAS I SUPPOSED TO FEEL?!"
"I TOLD YOU, I WAS GOING TO BREAK UP WITH HIM BUT DIDN'T HAVE THE TIME TO, AND YOU ARE NOT ENTITLED TO KNOW EVERY DETAIL OF MY PRIVATE LIFE ANYWAY! BESIDES, HE DUMPED ME WHEN I GOT BACK, SO YOU HAVE NOTHING TO BE MAD ABOUT, I GOT MY KARMA ALREADY!"
"LIKE THAT MAKES UP FOR WHAT I WENT THROUGH!"
"ENOUGH!", and that exclamation came from Jasmine, who explained it herself, "Amy and Sammy's bickering already gave me a headache on the way here, I don't need this right now! And frankly, I'm on Sky's side here."
"What?!", Dave was shocked by this, "How?!"
"No offense dude", Shawn spoke up, "But, she's the one who looks better than you do here."
"Why!? Because she's a girl?!"
"You know what...I'm not gonna give an answer to that."
"Yeah", Zoey calmly spoke, but albeit with a nervous tone of voice, "She does seem like the more innocent person here."
"Innocent?!", Dave was shocked and enraged at this, "HOW?!"
"Oh my gosh it is like, SO OBVIOUS!", Sierra exclaimed with a look of frustration to her own face too, "I was like, totally on Team Sky from the start and I lose hope in humanity whenever I see ANYONE on Team Dave!"
"Like, totally!", Katie added in, "Team Sky all the way!"
"Yes!", Sadie nodded, "I'm on Team Sky too!"
"EEEEEEEEEH!"
"I...I just...", Dave was shocked at this turn of events, by the looks on their faces everyone seemed either disinterested in the argument or taking the side of 'Team Sky', even those who Dave thought were his friends on Pahkitew Island, the only person who seemed to feel any sympathy for him, judging by facial expression, was Cody, who still didn't really say anything about it. As such, Dave eventually exclaimed; "...YOU PEOPLE ARE ALL INSANE!" before storming off to the other end of the dock to sit there alone.
"Wow", Noah sarcastically snarked, "And I thought Cody and DJ were the sensitive babies of the show."
"Hey!", both Cody and DJ took a level of offense to that, even Sierra appeared to put her hands on her hips even.
"What?", Noah remained quite sarcastic, "It's true."
"According to you it is", DJ folded his arms in response. This notion earned a response from Owen in defense of Noah:
"Hey come on guys, Noah's just being Noah."
"Hmph", Cody folded his arms, "Well Noah can stand to be a little less Noah sometimes."
"Oh yes", Noah sarcastically smirked, "Because that makes sense."
"Oh yeah? Well does you not being worried about your girlfriend at all so far make sense?"
"Hey!", then Noah suddenly got genuinely offended, "Don't you dare suggest that I don't care about Emma! Of course I do! You need to get your face out of my business!"
"Wow", Heather commented with a surprised look to her face, shared with Alejandro even, "I've never seen Noah have a genuine emotion other than sarcasm or sass before."
"Me neither, mi amore", Alejandro added, "This Emma must mean-"
"Oh and don't YOU even think about it you slippery eel", Noah was quick to fire at Alejandro, "Because I'll be keeping my eye on YOU!"
"Hmph"
"Alright, alright, alright!", Chris yet again interrupted the action to bring attention back onto himself, "Everybody needs to calm down so we can get to introducing the final set of contestants! These ones are going to be from the spin-off series, the Ridonculous Race!"
"That was definitely a sub-par way of handling a season if you ask me", Topher suddenly critiqued, "I mean, it lacked the McLean brilli-"
"Shut it, Topher, your little scheme to replace me isn't going to work this time or ever!"
"Scheme, but whatever do you-"
"Just shut up and let me introduce the remaining contestants already!"
"Alright, fine", Topher folded his arms and grumbled a bit in response while Chris smirked - proud of himself - as he returned to his duties as the main host of the season and series;
"So let's now go back to what I was saying before being rudely interrupted, I present to you, the contestants we brought over from Ridonculous Race starting with Noah's favourites, EMMA AND KITTY ALONG WITH ALL OF THE OTHER SELECT RIDONCULOUS RACE CONTESTANTS!"
Another cruise ship suddenly landed and the others stared at the remaining contestants about to enter the game - all of whom were standing on the deck of this incoming ship. On the boat was; Emma, Kitty, Chet, Lorenzo, Tammy, Crimson, Ennui, Junior, Stephanie and Ryan. All of them were from the spin-off series to Total Drama, the Ridonculous Race. Some of them were happy to be there, others were neutral, while some of them seemed much less than either happy or neutral to be there. Suddenly, not long after their ship pulled into view, the deck of the ship which they were standing on became revealed itself to be spring board which promptly ejected them, launching them all at once off of the boat and into the water joining most of the other contestants - the exceptions being the 'Revenge' and 'Pahkitew' contestants who were standing on the island's dock. Emma and Kitty surfaced first. Emma and Kitty were both contestants of Asian descent and therefore had long dark hair, Emma's flat down her back and Kitty's in pigtails with red bows. Emma wore a light orange t-shirt, with a red sweater, black Capri's and cork wedge sandals. Kitty wore a white button down dress shirt with a red long sleeve shirt over top. She also wore a black shirt, with black heeled boots and knee high white socks.
"I believe the kidnapping was completely unnecessary, since when are we part of Total Drama?" Emma asked curiously and cynically when she emerged from the watter, as she wiped her now wet bangs out of her eyes to see better.
"Eeeeh! This is so exciting Emma and look there's Noah!" Kitty cheered and gushed, causing Emma to blush as her boyfriend swam over, with a quite sincere looking concerned face.
"Are you okay Emma?" Noah asked, keeping a concerned tone to his voice.
"Besides being a little wet, yeah I'm just fine. It's good to see you." Emma replied, all while her face retained the look of blushing, now that Noah was present.
"You too." Noah smiled and pulled her into a kiss, getting some whistles from Owen.
"Young love is so beautiful."; Owen gushed.
"I like totally agree!"; Sadie nodded.
"Hi I'm Kitty; it's so nice to meet some Total Drama Veterans! Well, ones aside from Noah and Owen." Kitty spoke as she turned attention over to Katie and Sadie, giving Sadie a friendly hug. Katie, who was nearby, seemed accepting of this.
"She's knows we're veterans Katie and Sadie, and not interns!" Sadie cheered. On that point, the other Ridonculous Race contestants began resurfacing aswell:
Chet and Lorenzo were the two Ridonculous Race contestants who surfaced next and upon them doing so the others - save Dave who was staring off into nothing by his lonesome - all stared at the two step brothers, who for once weren't fighting with each other. Lorenzo was of Latino descent and sported shaggy dark hair which ran down to be halfway down his neck, and was coupled with a bit of stubble upon his chin. For clothing, Lorenzo wore a purple t-shirt which had black lining and a black outlined game controller design on the shirt, his outfit was finished off with a pair of blue jeans complimented with tan boots. In contrast to Lorenzo's lankiness, Chet was a chunky or chubby young male. He was a caucasian male who sported and fine 'red' hair and matching chin stubble to boot. He wore a purple t-shirt which itself sported light purple lining and for a design upon the chest was a bird skull with wings sprouting from it. For 'bottom' wear he wore black shorts with a red lining to them, two leather bracelets of the same color on each wrist, and his look was ultimately topped off with black shoes alongside white socks. Either way, it didn't take long up them resurfacing for them to begin talking, with Lorenzo being the first one to do so:
"This reminds me of the movie: Dinosaurs in Water World 4, remember when they got thrown off the boat?" Lorenzo asked curiously to his step-brother, to which Chet replied:
"I remember that too, one of the best Dinosaurs in Water World movies!"
"Are you serious?", Gwen commented, "Those movies were so cliché and boring. A total B-rated piece of crap.", and as she spoke those words she had rolled her eyes.
"Let me guess, you're an alien movie junkie?" Lorenzo asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Well", Duncan commented in defense of Gwen, "They're clearly a better franchise."
"I can defend myself, thank you." Gwen leered at Duncan for doing that, taking offense at him thinking she needed defending at all. "But I do agree with him."
"Give me one good reason, why they're better." Chet folded his arms in response to that, showing his dislike of Gwen's opinion.
"One? I can give you like 50.", Gwen sarcastically snarked back.
Tammy and the Goths surfaced next. Tammy was a short though hefty caucasian girl who was a costume like Leonard. She wore a golden Viking helmet with a white braided pigtail wig underneath. She also wore a brown leather top with a green skirt and a leather belt with a giant gold buckle with white tennis shoes, coated in leather and fur. Ennui in contrast to her was a very tall caucasian coating his exposed arms, face, neck, chest and stomach in white surprisingly water-proof powder. He wore yellow contacts over naturally blue eyes, and also had on black eye shadow over and under his eyes, black lipstick, drawn on red goatee and lip piercings. He wore a long black and red striped wig and wore a spike choker as well. He wore a black t-shirt, with a red tank-top over top and fishnet arm warmers. He wore red pants, with a black belt and metal skull buckle and oversized metal high top boots to finish the look. Crimson on the other hand was a short caucasian girl and similar to Ennui her exposed skin was covered in the same type of water-proof white powder. She wore a white and black long striped wig over her naturally red hair and had makeup similar to her boyfriend. She wore a black choker, a red corset and red gloves. To finish the look she wore a deep red skirt, a metal belt, fishnet leggings and tall-heeled metal boots. Only moments later did Loki popped out of Ennui's shirt as well. He was an all black bunny with gothic make-up on his face, far more intimidating than that of DJ's pets, and he had the attitude to match.
"Excelsior! Tammy you're here!" Leonard cheered, greeting Tammy happily. This seemed to attract the attention of Sugar, whether or not that is a good thing is debatable of course.
"Yep, hopefully our magic will help us win this time." Tammy smiled.
"How are you guys not melting like on the Race?" Chet asked the Goths.
"Water proof make-up, it works wonders." Ennui commented, his face retaining it's usual stoicness as he spolke those words.
"I'm so excited for it." Crimson spoke in a monotone voice and the same stoicness as Ennui.
"You have got to be kidding me", Heather commented with dread in her voice, "MORE weird goth people?! Wasn't Gwen like, ENOUGH?"
"I'm right here, you know."
"And I don't care."
"Hey, hat's a cute rabbit, what's it's name?", Courtney asked at that point, taking notice of Loki, even approaching as if she was going to pet him, though instead of being allowed to, the rabbit nearly bit her fingers. "Ah!", Courtney managed to pull her hand away just in time to avoid said bite.
"That's Loki", Ennui explained to her, keeping his monotone voice, "but he's a little jumpy, after getting kidnapped on the Race, and the most recent incident probably doesn't help much."
It should be noted that Eva silently gave Loki a nod as if to say she approved of it's style, to which Loki actually returned the nod.
"I see, just trying to be friendly." Courtney giggled nervously.
"Oh step off it, Courtney. Don't listen to her, she'll pretend you're friends and then plot to vote you off!" Gwen suddenly went up to them, pushing Courtney out of the way as she said those words of course.
"Thanks for the save, I'm Crimson." Crimson extended her hand out to Gwen at that point, still relatively stoic but clearly Gwen could understand the language of 'gothic stoicness' better than any of the others.
"Gwen, nice to meet all three of you." Gwen smiled, returning the offer to shake hands with Crimson, also elated to finally have fellow goths on the show.
Suddenly the three were blown backwards some by a wave of water. Ryan surfaced gasping for air, with both Stephanie and Junior hanging onto either arm. Ryan was both a tall and a very buff - by far the most muscular male if not person so far, right up there with Chef Hatchet himself, African-American with that aforementioned exceptionally muscled body, his black hair was shortly cropped and around his neck was a gold chain. He wore a pink shirt with maroon lining and a picture of dumbbells on the front, the shirt being form-fitting and implying overall some sort of gym membership or athletic career. He also wore purple shorts, calf high white socks and maroon sneakers. Stephanie was a shorter - compared to Ryan, she was in the same height range of girls like Gwen or Courtney - African-American with her hair save for her bangs cut short and the sides shaved off. She had gold earrings in both ears and on her torso wore a magenta t-shirt. Finishing her look were dark blue shorts, knee high white socks with maroon stripes and maroon running shoes. Junior, the unwitting third member of their 'trio' was a short white male, the youngest of the contestants present as he was but the tender age of 13. He had bushy blonde hair in a 'down' style and upon his head was a red cap that was worn backwards. He wore a beige t-shirt with a dark grey hoodie over it, and also sported a beaded necklace. To finish off his look, he had simply grey slacks for trousers and red basketball shoes, any other accessories on him were simply unseen.
"Really Ryan, we almost died!"; Stephanie yelled out, clearly already losing her temper at Ryan.
"Junior was stuck on a piece of metal, I wasn't letting him drown!" Ryan yelled back to defend himself and also reveal a bit of off-screen action as well.
"Let losers be losers, why is that so hard to understand?" Stephanie asked to him, glaring at him.
"Finally someone who understands.", Heather commented while her and Alejandro just observed this. She got many angry glares from those who she once competed with for saying that.
"That's low, even for you", Ryan sternly talked back to her with, "You'd be willing to let the kid die?"; In response to that, Stephanie growled and glared at Ryan, while Junior suddenly coughed up a bunch of ocean water before turning to Ryan with a grateful smile to his face:
"Thanks again Ryan." Junior smiled and quickly swam away from the angry Stephanie. He ended up bumping into Cody and Sierra though. Upon seeing him, Sierra actually gushed at him.
"O-M-G! Junior!", she spoke, actually pinching his cheeks, much to his slight annoyance, "You're even cuter in person! You remind me of Cody when he was that young soooooo much!"
"Oh no...", Cody winced at this sight, "Save yourself before it's too late!", he exclaimed to Junior who quickly tried to promptly swim away and hide from Sierra.
"Ah!", was the sound Junior made when he managed to squirm away from Sierra, amazingly able to swim away from her fast enough despite having that dark hoodie jacket on his person.
"Awwwwww, you're jealous aren't you Codykins?", Sierra then gave Cody a big hug in response to that, holding him both closely and tightly, "Don't worry, nobody will EVER replace YOU!"
"I know they won't...", and Cody had only a sad sigh to make at that point, accepting his fate. Junior for the time being was able to get away from the two.
"That was a close one...", Junior commented to himself once he was a distance away from Sierra, "I would hate to be the next Cameron..."
"Well that's everyone." Chris commented as he was double checking his clipboard. On that note, one of the original contestants opened their mouths to speak some words once attention was yet again focusing itself onto him:
"So a question." it was none other than Heather, scaring people - especially Alejandro- with the seemingly genuinely sweet look on her face?
"Yes?" Chris asked, in his usual smug demeanor.
"CAN I GET OUT OF THE WATER NOW?!", Heather yelled and scared Chris with that sudden anger, though Alejandro sighed of relief at it.
"Sure, fine go ahead, if you want." Chris spoke in a startled but then uncaring tone of voice, which led to the response of the 'wet' contestants being to begin climbing onto the dock to get out of the water, thus joining the Revenge of the Island and Pahkitew Island contestants aswell as Chris on the dock. Of course, except Dave, who remained sitting alone to himself on the other end of the dock looking out at the horizon in his loneliness.
"Hey", Cody opened his mouth to speak, "Is anyone gonna-"; but then Chris interrupted him whether it was intentional or not:
"Alright, everybody follow me to the campfire pit so I can explain the rules of how this season's gonna go and all that jazz", the host then laughed a bit, "Wow, it has been SO LONG since I said that last time. Like-"
"Season One!", Sierra happily interrupted him, much to his annoyance.
"Yeah...and again, thanks oh so much for interrupting me there."
"No problem, Chris!"
"Yeah...anyway, like I said, follow me!", and it was then that Chris effectively herded the large group of Fifty-Five contestants to the aforementioned campfire pit area which was designated on the map which he had with him. It was only at this point which Dave sighed and walked up to follow the others, though even then he did so at a very good distance away from them all, clearly still preferring being alone to being part of the large 55-strong group. Chris himself was not fixated on Dave though, but on getting all of this recently rounded up campers ready at the campgrounds. On the way though, while following him, the contestants did of course have some small interactions with eachother. These ranged from small talk to continuations of their previous interactions, to first introductions, to other similar moments between them all. Regardless, the first notable one came from Lindsay as Junior was walking nearly beside her and Tyler - with Cody, Beth and Sierra behind them aswell.
"Awwww, Tyler", Lindsay gushed to her boyfriend, "Isn't that kid so cute? He's like, just how I pictured our kids to look like!", she was of course gesturing to Junior. Junior had a sly smile at being called 'cute' by Lindsay, regardless of the remaining context.
"Uh...", Tyler meanwhile was at a lost for words, rubbing the back of his head nervously, "I don't know how to respond to that, babe."
"Just don't", Cody said from behind the two, "Just, don't.", in response, Tyler just silently nodded.
"Heheheh", Junior said to himself, "Maybe this Total Drama Season thing isn't so bad after all.", not long after that though did he get a rude 'awakening' of sorts, when Heather and Alejandro past right by him, Alejandro purposely using his arms to knock Junior to the ground as he did so. "Ah! Ow!", was Juniors in-pain response. Cody glared at Alejandro for that, remembering being the receiver of it himself during the Gemmy awards.
"Hey!", Lindsay said to Alejandro as she and Sierra helped Junior to the ground and both angrily glared at him, "That wasn't nice!"
"Jerk!", Beth angrily added to that herself, also giving an angry glare at Alejandro.
"Oh sweet Lindsay", Alejandro said with his usual flirtatious hispanic accent, turning to look at her, "You just don't get it, sometimes, but that's what's so wonderful about you."
"I'm right here, dude!", Tyler angrily glared at him with, but the jock was bluntly ignored. Lindsay for once, however, didn't actually fall for the spaniard this time, and actually kept her angry - almost disciplinarian - glare.
"It doesn't matter how hot you are, hurting a poor sweet little kid is NOT hot!"; In response to that, Alejandro had nothing to say, clearly shocked by how even Lindsay was suddenly immune to his most famous - if not infamous - latin charms; It was only thanks to Heather pulling him away by his shirt that he was able to back out of his situation before it got worse for him. After that Lindsay actually gave Junior a caring hug.
"Oh are you okay? That that big meanie hurt you?!"
"Don't worry...I'm fine...but I think my back still hurts a little bit."
"Awwwwwwwwwww!"
Tyler just folded his arms at watching this, unsure how to respond. Cody just idlely watched and also had no response to it. At that moment though, it is revealed that Justin and Trent had been watching this scene unfold, and Justin couldn't help but grow a smirk to his face and enjoy what he just saw.
"Looks like the new hottie on the block just bit off a little more than he could chew."
"Hahaha", Trent laughed, also smiling at having seen that happen, "Yep."
On that point, focus shifts over to another set of contestants, namely Mike, Zoey, Cameron, Leonard, Tammy, Sugar, Sky, Stephanie and Ryan, aswell as Jasmine and Shawn. Now this was indeed an oddball group of contestants to be walking in a group together, but for most of them they were doing just that, coincidentally walking close together like that of a group in the middle of the large fifty-four strong herd. Some notable initial appearances are clear. Mike and Zoey were holding hands while Cameron was trying to hide from Sierra by being near them. The sight of Mike and Zoey by extension, continued to make Sky feel terrible about the 'Dave situation'. Jasmine and Shawn also enjoyed some minor romantic interaction, though for Sky's sake they toned it down compared to the other two ahead of them. Leonard and Tammy were walking beside each other, and were seeming to hit it off very while, much to the anger of Sugar who was in the back with Stephanie and Ryan scowling at the two - namely Tammy.
"Ooooh", Sugar angrily hissed, "This is some bull! That viking girl's worse than ELLA!"
It should be noted that Ella was not far away, and was actually happily humming to herself while she walked with the others, something which soothed many of the others though for Sugar it had such an opposite effect that the girl actually briefly turned her attention to the 'songbird';
"Don't me take that back, you FLOOZY!"
"Oh my!", Ella gasped in fright in response to that angry outburst, "I-I'm sorry, Sugar, I-"
"SAVE IT! I've got my attention on somethin' else right now!", and of course with that she went back to glaring angrily at Leonard and Tammy, saying nothing to the two though glaring in particular at Tammy, and even growling angrily. The two LARPers meanwhile were having a friendly conversation of their own;
"So last time we totally didn't get to use our skills at all before we were kicked off", Leonard spoke to Tammy with a confident smile, "I say we crank it up a notch this time around!"
"How do we do that?", Tammy asked curiously.
"Simple! We pull out...the BIG spells!"
"Oooooooh!", Tammy replied, "I was thinking the same thing too!"
"I know! It's the only plan that makes any sort of sense at all!"
"Indeed it is, indeed it is!"
"Grrrrrr", once more, Sugar angrily growled at the aforementioned distance behind them, "I'm about THIS close to goin' over there and givin' that wizard stealer a piece o' my mind!"
"Maybe you're taking things out of context?", Ella effectively chirped out in her usual happy demeanor, trying to make Sugar happier, "Maybe they simply are the best of friends!"
"Like I said earlier, CAN IT!"
"Ooh!", Ella backed away in fear and concern at that point, doing best to leave Sugar alone for the time being. It was that point which focus shifts over to Stephanie and Ryan, who were keeping to themselves walking in the back of this coincidental group. Of course, Stephanie was still visibly angry about the incident earlier, though had calmed down to a extent as she was overhearing all of this conversation. The first words she spoke were:
"Well, at least the competition against us here is a bigger joke than the least time."
"Yeah, I guess", Ryan responded, "We got nothing to worry about!"
"At least as long as you don't mess anything up!"
"What's that supposed to mean?"
"You know what it means!"
"You still mad about me savin' a little kid from drowning?"
"Yes! That 'kid' was the competition!"
"Well, what would you be sayin' that if that kid was ours or somethin' though? Would you want me to let them drown then?"
"Ugh! That's not the, we don't have...", and then Stephanie let out a sigh, "No, of course not."
"Exactly!"
"Alright, fine. I'll forgive you for this...but...don't let it happen again!"
"Don't worry, I'm sure it won't!"
"Mmhm."
Ryan put a hand on Stephanie's shoulder at that point, the girl had her arms still folded though had calmed down significantly compared to previously. Still though, it was very much clear that calling her 'happy' would still be an overstatement. Regardless, there was still enough time to move on to one more group of contestants before Chris arrived at the elimination area with all Fifty-Five competitors. This final group - before Chris got to his destination - to be focused on was none other than Eva, Noah, Emma, Kitty, Owen, Izzy, Dawn and B who were also all walking somewhat closely together. While this group conversed, it should be noted that B was little more than a simple silent observer, walking at Dawn's side the entire time. Noah and Emma held hands and smiled at eachother, happy to be reunited, while Izzy of course wasted little time in being the first one to take notice of this:
"O-m-g Noah!", Izzy exclaimed, popping up right behind them seemingly out of nowhere, "So this like, your girlfriend, huh?"
"Yes.", Noah answered, "This is Emma, Izzy."
"Still hard to believe you finally got one."
"Not...now..."
"Okay! Whatever you say, Noah!"
"Hahahaha", Emma lightly laughed at this exchange before speaking herself, "I'm guessing you're the Izzy he's been talking about to me."
"Yep! That's probably me! Unless there are other Izzys in his life which he hasn't mentioned to me yet."
"Trust me, you are the only Izzy in my life."
"Good!"
"Haha.."
"Heh..."
"Hey guys!", Owen then exclaimed, by extension drawing attention to himself from the rest of this, "Aren't all of us gonna be like, an alliance of friends like this?"
"The game hasn't even started and you're already talking about having an alliance?", Eva questioned, to which Owen nodded, "Wow. I'm impressed at your focus for once."
"A friendship alliance sounds good to me!", Kitty replied to Owen with, "I mean, with fifty-four contestants we'd kind of need it."
"True", Emma answered observantly, "Even an alliance of just two people...", she then looked at certain pairs such as Heather with Alejandro, "Would be very badly outnumbered."
"Yay!", Kitty replied, "So I guess this means we're all in this together!"
"Yeah", Eva quickly interjected before celebrating this could begin, "But what happens when we're the only ones left in the game? I have no intention of ending up the next Courtney", and that point she almost vomited from saying that, "The thought of that makes me sick!"
"That is a good question", Emma pointed out.
"Well, there's like, forty or something other contestants", Izzy commented back, "I'm pretty sure we'll cross that bridge when we come to it."
"Yeah!", Kitty replied, smiling optimistically.
"Hmph", Eva huffed, "Whatever, then, I guess."
"So I guess this makes us a team, huh?", Owen said with a friendly smile appearing upon his face once again, "Awww, group hug!"
"I don't-", Eva - along with Noah - tried to protest but she was, of course, dragged in for a group hug with the others, so she was basically forced to just accept it, saying a "Nevermind" to it. Of course, while this hug happened, Izzy took the chance to speak directly to Owen:
"We're still not together anymore though."
"Aw, I kind of figured that...", Owen then had a small sad sigh at said realization.
It was only at that moment which finally Chris had arrived at his destination: the elimination area which he had seen on that map so long ago. As mentioned prior, the elimination area was a peculiar addition to the map of the camp. It was a building not to different from that of a main lodge, effectively it was a larger version of a basic cabin though no better put together. The walls were all wooden, and the only differences between it and the main lodge of Pomewin Island were that it lacked any form of fireplace or kitchen, really. In it's place, was a simple red door which led into a room which neither Chris nor Chef had been able to go into yet. The room behind it had a sound-proof and heavily reinforced glass window - making it nearly impossible to break or shatter - leading into it, though the room on the other side of this window was either pitch black or the window had a black covering over it to prevent it's nature from being revealed at the moment. Another stark difference was that the elimination room only had a series of fifty-four chairs without any tables for the chairs to be joined up with. Naturally, all of the contestants sat in these chairs out of instinct, as Chris stood infront of them. The only one forced to stand was Ryan, and amazingly nobody had chosen to speak up about the mistake in counting numbers just yet. In place of a campfire, he had a podium. For room lighting, there were at least three ceiling fans above them supplying the room with light, though many of the lights attached to these fans were small and on their own did not supply much light, only all together did they supply enough light for the entire room to be lit adequately enough. With a clearing of his throat in the microphone, Chris gained the attention of the campers over to himself at his podium, and wasted no time in using this attention to his advantage:
"So I thought this was gonna be a campfire pit", he admitted to them, "Turns out we're doing eliminations indoors this season, haha."
"What's the room with the red door for?", Jasmine asked, sitting next to Shawn.
"Oh that? I...actually I don't know. The producers want me to be as surprised as you guys, apparently, so they didn't tell me anything about how we're actually doing elimination this time around. I can only assume it's something to do with how you get eliminated."
"He's...", at that moment one could see Dawn was genuinely surprised, "Telling the truth. I can tell from his aura."
"His, aura?", Noah was highly skeptical, "Are you another LARPer or something, or just some big phony?"
"No! I'm a real aura reader!"
"Yeah, and I'm the emperor of China."
"I can prove it to you, but judging by your aura you would just dismiss my evidence as a cold reading and continue refusing to believe in anything supernatural or spiritual."
"Because I use rational and critical thinking...how did you get me so well?"
"Because I-"
"Oh wait, it's because you probably watched my previous television appearances and judged how I'd act."
"Noah", Emma nudged him, "Lay off her, it's not worth it."
"Actually", Dawn then revealed, "I don't own a television at my home. I've never actually seen you before in person or otherwise."
"Uh-huh...I'll believe it when I see it."
"Very well, suit yourself."
"Hmph."
"AHEM!", and Chris once more brought attention over to himself, "MOVING ON, what they HAVE let me in on this season, is that it will be QUITE interesting from previous Total Drama season. The first thing being, there are NO TEAMS this time around!", in response to that everyone gasped, "That's right, no teams! So no complaining about when the merge happens, Courtney, because it'll ALWAYS be the merge this time around! Saves me the trouble of coming up with team names."
"There aren't any teams?", Zoey questioned, "But...how's that gonna work?"
"Simple, it just will!", Chris replied, "Besides, if any of you make alliances, think of them as makeshift teams or something!"
"Finally", Jo commented, "A season I can get behind!"
"YEAH!", Izzy suddenly stood up and cheered with arms in the air, "GO TEAM E-SCOPE! WHOO!"
"Oooh-oooh!", Sierra suddenly pulled Cody close to her and called, "Can me and Cody join Team E-Scope, Izzy?"
"Lemme think about it for a bit...okay!"
"Yay!"
"Izzy!", Noah whispered to her in annoyance, "Now everyone knows we're in an alliance together!"
"Yeah", Emma added in, "Exactly."
"So what? Everyone already knows Alejandro and Heather and Mike, Zoey and Cameron are gonna be in ones!"
"What?!", Heather exclaimed to Izzy with, "I resent that! I have made NO such announcement!", Alejandro also took the chance to chime in with spanish:
"Si! Exacto!"
"No offense guys", Zoey spoke to them, "But like, you're a couple. It kinda goes without saying you're gonna be basically an alliance."
"Yeah", Mike added, still holding Zoey's hand, "And I see no problem with it!"
"That's because you two are a bunch of goody two-shoes with a special edition of the biggest dweeb this side of Canada!", Heather retorted, "Unlike me and Alejandro!"
"Hey!", Cameron was going to say something further, but decided it was best he refrain from doing so. Mostly due to Heather and Alejandro scaring him to some extent.
"HUSH!", and once more Chris shushed them all so that he could finish, "Great, now you guys have all gone and made us waste FURTHER time just by bickering and stuff! I WAS going to do like the first season and let you guys tour the campgrounds for a little bit, but with how long it's taking to do not only you guys' arrivals but also THIS scene, well, I'm just gonna go over things like that real quick! Here on Pomewin Island you guys got the Dormitory building which has one wing for the girls and the other wing for the boys, both of which are marked. It's the biggest building on the island, you can't possibly miss it. That building is going to be where all of you sleep and live in for the duration of your stay here, and they are furnished with a bed, a desk, and the basic essentials you'll need for your stay here. It also comes equipped with shower rooms, one for boys and one for girls.", the girls were relieved to not share the showers with the boys for once, "For your food and cooking needs, we have the usual mess hall and main lodge, which is where Chef will be usually found of course. It's basically the usual tables for all of you plus the kitchen, and the fireplace. Just like back at Wawanakwa! We also have separate washrooms not connected to the dorms, which can serve as a place for more privacy, or for emergency washing if the dorm is too far away for your liking. Those aren't separated for gender though. Last but not least, we have TWO separate confessionals for you to air out your opinion on things! We have the usual outhouse one, this one a new one though, since the previous P.M. didn't let us salvage the old one this time, so it actually is pretty fresh and new!", and then Owen let out a fart, followed by Sugar letting one out too, "For now, at least...and the second one is a special room inside of the dorm building, is a scenic balcony overlooking the island's landscape!"
"The previous Pretty Massager?", Lindsay questioned, "Where can I find them? I could totally go for a spa trip right now!"
"Hahaha, no Lindsay", Chris clarified, bluntly interrupting Beth from talking, "I meant Prime Minister."
"Ohhhhhhhhh! Okay!"
"Yeah. We can't use Pahkitew Island because he was a little concerned about, well, a robot takeover."
"Can you blame him?!", Dave suddenly exclaimed, "YOU HAD AN ENTIRE ARMY OF THEM BACK THERE! I WOULD BE WORRIED TOO!"
"Pahkitew Island ASIDE", Chris once more tried to bring things back on topic, "We still have POMEWIN Island to be concerned about. Or at least, you guys do. I assure all of you this island is 100% real, not robotic at all, as per governmental orders!"
"Good", Dawn commented, "Authentic nature is best nature!"
"Now that I agree with", Bridgette stated, her and Dawn then sharing a friendly smile at each other.
"Ugh", Anne Maria in contrast groaned in annoyance, "Great, more humidity to mess up mah hair", and then she started spraying her hair with more of her hairspray, "Just what I needed!"
"You know", Bridgette stated, "That stuff is what's killing the ozone layer."
"Tell it to the EPA, surfer girl."
"Hey-"
"Alright, alright!", Chris for one more time put the attention onto himself, "Everybody settle down! Because of how much time you've eaten up already, you'll be able to explore the campgrounds during the next episode, which just like the original season will be a part two to this one! The same also goes for being reacquainted with Chef once again, because as you might already guess, part two will have the first challenge of the season, so while I go and make sure everything's going as planned for it, you might wanna prepare yourselves for it!", and it was that point which he exited the building, leaving all fifty-four of them to one more, talk amongst themselves - for better or for worse. Of the lot, it was Katie who made noise first, gasping:
"O-m-g, this is like, so exciting! Our first challenge since like, Season One!"
"I know, right?", Sadie was happy and excited at first, but then became a bit worried, "I wonder what they'll make us do!"
"Don't worry", Ryan assured them with Stephanie at his side, "It's the first challenge of the season, I doubt it'll be that hard!"
It should be noted here that not that long after Ryan had spoken those words did the Fifty-Five competitors find themselves in their swimwear, standing ontop of the dorm building, overlooking the scenic view of Pomewin Island's - previously - untouched wilderness, and looking down at a lake filled with not sharks but massive American Alligators. They also held in their hands hand-woven Easter baskets, implying this challenge was not what you may think it is. Regardless, this challenge was still enough for Stephanie to close out the first episode of the season with one simple one:
"Ryan, just shut the f-k up."
