Chris McClean took a deep breath. "Ahh… Nothing like taking a DEEP breath of Ontario air before torturing our new recruits… This season, the producers have asked for a brand-new twist… Brains vs. Brawn vs. Beauty! Each team will be made of the smartest, sexiest, or strongest players we could find!"
"And here they come now!"
A plane landed, with the Brain team. First, a sandy-blonde girl stepped out of the plane. She wore a gray button-up blouse and black skinny jeans. Chris smiled and said, "You must be Gezella, right?"
"Yes, but I go by Ella," she said, shyly. "Another Ella? Let's hope that you're a better player than her."
A boy with brown hair walked out and looked around. "Wow, Chris! This island is a step up from what you usually have!" Chris grin/glared, and said, "Wow, thanks, Cardinal. And do these fine folks want to know why that's your name?" Cardinal changed from his pale skin tone to a… well, Cardinal red.
Next, a tall, thin boy stepped out of the plane. "Hey, Chris, where're the bunks?"
Chris smiled his wicked grin and said, "This season you guys'll make your shelter!"
The contestants groaned. "Yeah, thanks for reminding me, Griff!" Griff had chocolate colored hair and wore a black t-shirt and blue jeans.
A blonde boy with a bull cut walked out in a Shadow the Hedgehog t-shirt. He wore a blue baseball cap and black gym shorts. "Hey, Arnold!" Chris said, "You look familiar…"
Confession Cam:
Arnold: My dad and little brother, "The Dwaynes Squared" were on the Ridonculous Race. I'm here to succeed where they failed!
The next Brain to emerge was a 5'6" girl in a gray jacket and denim jeans. She had two-toned brown hair, and icy blue eyes. "Hi, I'm Brooke," she said to the contestants.
A black-haired Latina stepped out, and looked around her, taking in everyone. "Hola, Lucina," Chris said. Lucina wore a navy blouse, and a white skirt with white stockings. Lucina kept looking around her surroundings, analyzing her teammates. Cardinal extended his hand and said, "Welcome to the team! I'm Cardinal! That tall guy's Griff… The brunette is Brooke, the blonde is Ella, and the blond dude is Arnold." Lucina kept looking at the team with a cold stare.
Confession Cam:
Cardinal: Wow, that girl is really scary. It was like she was staring right through me!
Lucina: Oh no. I always space out when I'm introduced to new places! I have to take in everything! My family took me to Spain for my grandpa's birthday last year, and I was pretty much a statue everywhere we went! I've probably scared my teammates half to death! Que estupido!
End Confession
"Next is our Beauty Team!" Chris said, ushering in the next campers.
A tall Mexican in a yellow long-sleeved shirt and green shorts stepped out of the plane. "Hola, chica," he said, winking at Lucina. She blushed.
Confession Cam:
Lucina (blushing): Well, they're certainly the Beauty Team!
End Confession
"Corbin Ynez, right? Cool," Chris shrugged. Corbin had a mullet, but it looked great on him. He also had bright blue eyes.
Next, a girl in a hot pink sweater stepped out. She had curly brown hair, shoulder length. She wore blue jeans and white high tops. "And you are…?" Chris started. "Jaedyn," the girl nearly whispered.
After Jaedyn, a girl with blue hair and a blue scarf and blue earrings and blue and blue and blue… and blue… Stepped out. "What's your name? Wait… Blue… more blue… and that's blue… Are you Sapphire?" Chris asked. "Yes!" "Okay, Blue Barbie. Step aside!" a short girl said, stepping out. "I mean, please move!"
Confession Cam:
Short girl: Hi, I'm Opal. I might have anger issues, but I'm no Eva. I play below the radar, so I hope that doesn't put a bad first impression on me…
End Confession
Opal had big blue eyes, and long brown hair with bangs. She wore a Hello Kitty tank top, a white jacket over that, and pink leggings. "Hey, Chris, don't you have to be older than 8 to be on this show?" Arnold said, snickering. He never saw the suitcase flung at him from the "8-year-old". She was staring daggers at him, brow furrowed.
Confession Cam:
Opal: Oops.
End Confession
A tall boy with silver hair and ruby red eyes stepped off next. "Nice one, Opal," he said, in a voice sweet as honey. Opal smiled, showing perfect teeth. "Thanks, Alysson!"
Confession Cam:
Cardinal: The Beauties look tough! Lucina doesn't seem so scary anymore. I think she has a thing for Corbin…
End Confession
"The last Beauty is… this guy!"
Confession Cam:
Opal: Wow! I hope that guy's single…
End Confession
"This guy" had beautiful blond hair, and sparkling blue eyes. He wore a blue hoodie with wave-like patterns down the middle. Opal, with her eyes wider than an anime character, said, "Wow… Are you single?" And Ella mumbled, just audibly, "Who art thou, angel?" The boy smiled and said simply, "I'm Rory."
Chris groaned and said, "Alright! Moving on to the Brawns! I bet they're fun to look at, y'all! Look at me! Attention here!"
The first member of the Brawn stepped out, a tall Asian boy, with muscles that told you that he was learning 26 martial arts while you were learning 26 letters. He bowed, humbly, and kept walking. "Folks, this is Tai Chang. He is mute, so don't strike up a conversation. Unless you know Chinese sign language."
Tai Chang had a necklace with a Yin piece of the Yin Yang symbol. He stood 6'. He wore a Chinese Dragon shirt under a black, sleeveless vest. He also had black cargo shorts and a black fedora. He had a Yin Yang tattoo on his right bicep. Even though he was mute, and he appeared very humble, he looked very strong and confident.
"Next is Loco!" Chris said, waving an arm towards a girl carrying her suitcases out. She turned around, and smiled.
Confession Cam:
Loco: So, my real name is Phoebe, but my friends call me Loco.
End Confession
Loco had short black hair, green eyes, and light tan skin. She wore a blue shirt with a shark insignia on it. She also wore black cargo pants.
Corbin rose an eyebrow and said, "'Loco'?" Loco nodded. "Whatever floats your boat."
Chris said, "Next person on Brawn is-"
*Crash!*
A girl had kicked a whole in the plane, walking out smiling. "Hi everyone!" she smiled, "I'm Dixie!"
Chris glared. "You're paying for that! Literally!"
Dixie had blonde hair, gray eyes, and tanned skin. She wore a red short-sleeved shirt tied to show her stomach, a cowgirl hat, black cowgirl boots, denim short-shorts, and a denim jacket.
Confession Cam:
Dixie: I grew up on a farm. But I don't have a Western accent, since the farm was in California. That's also why I have this tanned skin.
End Confession
"Next is... Caeden," Chris read.
Caeden stepped out, smiling. Caeden wore a black suit coat, khakis, and a bowler cap. He was fairly tall, about 6', and he wore a wicked grin. He had an Ace of Spades off the brim of his cap. Under the unbuttoned suit coat, he wore a white t-shirt. He had messy brown hair that looked like it was styled that way, and had piercing blue eyes. He walked right up to Tai Chang and extended his hand for a high five. "Tai Chang, right? Mute? Perfect for Poker," Caeden started.
Confession Cam:
Caeden: I think Tai Chang looks like a perfect ally. That dude probably knows every martial art like the back of his hand! I know the back of my hand, since they're from the same deck! *Sighs* It's a card joke.
Dixie: Wow! And I thought those Beauties were hot...
End Confession
Dixie walked up to Caeden. "Hi, I'm Dixie!" Caeden shook her hand, slipping a piece of paper into her hand.
Confession Cam:
Dixie: It was his phone number! This guy's smoother than silk!
End Confession
"Faster, troops!" a Filipino girl in a camo shirt, black cargo pants and combat boots shouted, "There's two more of us left!"
A boy with curly black hair peeked out from behind her. "Why is everyone looking at me?" he asked. "They're not," she replied.
"Oh. Who are you?" "Tara. You?"
"I'm Jacob. Woa, where'd that shark come from?"
"What shark?"
Confession Cam:
Jacob: I'm schizophrenic, so maybe those sharks weren't really there. I may be schizophrenic, but at least I have each other!
"Well, now that you all know each other, let's get the game started!" Chris shouted, impatient.
