"So these are the girls you want to approach?" A man with dark brown hair and black square glasses asked as he looked over the files he was just handed, shuffling through the thre files.

Candace Golding nodded as they walked through the studio. Since she suggested Total Drama's revival and the addition of three new hosts, she was the one in charge of recruiting the three new hosts.

She had managed to acquire quite extensive information on all three of the girls she had in mind, since they all worked within Fresh TV Studios. They were all some what prodigies in their own right, and though they worked off camera, they had dynamic personalities that Candace was confident would make this season of Total Drama a success!

When it was announced that Chris McLean would not be returning for a new season, there was quite a bit of backlash from original Total Drama fans who thought this season would suck without him and was buoycotting it all together! The pressure was on these girls to make sure this season is good.

"I'm telling you George, these girls are going to be perfect!" She exclaimed as he read over the first girl's files.

"Kennedy Rose Lee, 16 years old... Wait all these girls are 16, don't you think their a little young for this?" George asked her skeptically. She merely brushed him off, "they'll be fine."

George rolled his eyes before he continued to read, raising his eyebrow as he came across an interesting point. "She works on The Explosivo Show?"

The Explosivo Show was one of the many Total Drama spin-off shows the studio was testing to try and calm fans down, bit to know available. The showrunner, Izzy "Explosivo" Ryans, was way too crazy and dangerous to work with, so the network was pulling the plug on it.

"This girl is a certified genius and an expert on all things mischief, I think she'll be able to give our new contestants a run for their money," Candace explained as her assistant continued reading through her file. "Exploding shirts? Rock candy made from Carolina Reaper peppers? Lice infested shampoo? I must say, this girl does have a knack for trouble," he agreed, "she would make an excellent host.

George looked up from the papers to see that they were on the set of the soon to be torn down Explosivo Show set. The show's sign was gleaming with lights, that is, until a balloon filled with pink paint knocked it down and splattered everywhere, including onto Candace and George.

"Oops."

The two turned around to see a petite asian girl with bright blue hair tied up in space buns. She had her hands behind her back, as she tried to hide her load of paint balloons, until one of them slipped out of her grasp and broke on the floor, causing green paint to splash all over. She laughed nervously as the two looked at her in surprise. "They said I could do what I want since this place was being torn down..." she said nervously.

Before they had the chance to respond, their eyes widened with shock as they heard explosions take place behind them, causing them to turn around to see the whole set to catch on fire as the sprinklers come on. They turned back to the Korean girl who shyly played with the hem of her blood red tank top, "we had a lot of extra explosives and stuff... Am I in trouble again?"

Kennedy was told that she could do whatever she wanted with the set since the show was getting canned, so she decided to make it her own playground of destruction. She hated working on the Explosivo Show. She wanted to be the one causing the mess, not just making weapons of destruction and cleaning up after Izzy. Plus, they always rushed her when she was creating pranks. Some of them even were used before she was done! That really ticked her off! All her pranks had to be perfect, and what did they do? Turn her work into sloppily produced preschooler pranks!

So the first chance she got, she almost burned the place to the ground, which may not have been the smartest idea since two network higher ups came to pay the set a visit. She thought they were going to fire her from the studio for sure.

She winced as the older dirty blonde woman began to approach her. Kennedy wanted to laugh so badly since her beige, expensive looking pants suit was splattered with pink, but seeing as this was her boss, she could tell that this was an unwise decision. "Ms Lee, we would like to make you an offer," the woman said, "one that will allow you to cause all the mischief you want." This intrigued Kennedy greatly as this woman pulled out a contract from her jacket. "I'm listening," Kennedy replied, grinning as she looked over the contract.

Yup! The first host of the show is one of my favourite OCs that I submit for other SYOC stories, Kennedy! She's one of the hosts because I think she's perfect to just bring a little bit of crazy and hook the new set up with a bunch of awesome traps and pranks that will keep the contestants on their toes!

So regarding the cast, I've gotten a total of 6 submissions, but out of those I've only officially selected 3.

OFFICIALLY ACCEPTED CAST

1. Lyric Newman (Submitted by pine swiftwings)'

2. Elizabeth Mc. Conney (submitted by drokazeke92)

3. Dean Anderson (submitted by Eternos137)

If you submitted a character and you don't see their name here, it doesn't mean they've officially been rejected, I will still be keeping them under consideration, but as of right now while planning the story, I can't really see where they would fit. Thank you so much for your submissions so far! I'm still looking 13 more contestants, 6 boys, 6 girls and 1 person that can either be a girl, boy, non binary, etc.

The next update I will be announcing the second host for the show And I will also be announcing at least half the cast so stay tuned!
