The show opens with a shot of a dock facing the water. An older-looking man with dark hair and a blue-gray shirt pops up from the bottom of the screen.
"Yo! We're coming at you LIVE from Camp Wawanakwa! Somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario! I'm your host, Chris McLean! Dropping season 1 of the hottest new reality show on television, right now!" He says, enthusiastically.
Chris begins to walk down the docks towards an island. "Here's the deal: Twenty-two campers have signed up to spend 8 weeks right here at this crummy old summer camp. They'll compete in challenges against each other, then have to face the judgement of their fellow campers."
"Every three days, one team will either win a reward or watch one of their team members walk down The Dock of Shame. Take a ride on the loser boat," Chris pauses to chuckle. "And leave Total Drama Island, for good."
The scene changes to show 11 stumps near a bonfire. Chris is in front of the scene, and motions behind him.
"Their fate will be decided here, at the dramatic campfire ceremony where each week, all but one camper will receive: a marshmallow."
Chris motions to an oil drum with marshmallows on sticks on top. He grabs one and eats the marshmallow.
"In the end, only one will be left standing, and will be rewarded with cheesy tabloid fame and a small fortune, which let's face it-they'll probably blow in a week."
"To survive, they'll have to battle: black flies, grizzly bears, disgusting camp food, and, each other."
"Every moment will be caught on one of the hundreds of cameras situated all over the camp."
"Who will crumble under the pressure? Find out here, right now, on:"
"TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND!"
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine;
The camera travels up a giant hill and into the water below.
You guys are on my mind;
Alex is seen underwater, waving to the camera. Then, she begins to fart, and farts her way out of the camera.
You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see;
Ferrian and Maxine stare into each others' eyes on a wooden raft, but Alex's fart rose to the surface, breaking their romantic moment.
I wanna be famous;
The camera changes to Wind meditating in the woods, with animals all around her, sitting in peace. Amethyst is behind her, and "accidentally" tosses a dead fish into Wind's lap. Wind has a moment of realization, then all of the animals start attacking her. She runs away screaming, while Amethyst laughs at her. Thornton stands next to her, disapprovingly.
I wanna live close to the sun;
The camera moves to show Kevin hugging Jason on a raft floating down a river, much to Jason's dismay. Neither realize that they are heading towards a waterfall, until they fall, both screaming.
Go pack your bags, cuz' I've already won;
The camera shifts down the waterfall, showing Griffin practicing his acting skills on a broken log balancing on two rocks. Kevin and Jason fall down the waterfall in the background.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way;
Olivia swings down on a vine and runs into Griffin, and they both run into the confessional, where the door opens to see Tate fall over, his pants pulled down. A roll of toilet paper rolls out when the door opens.
I'll get there one day;
The camera zooms in on the kitchen, where Chef is cooking his delicious food. He smirks at Tom and Janna, both look terrified at the food.
Cuz' I wanna be famous;
Blaire is talking to Amour, with the latter looking very suspicious at the former. Blaire, realizing her cover is blown, starts glaring angrily at Amour. The camera zooms out of the kitchen, to the beach. Ginger and Victoria are sitting on the stairs to the beach, staring at Cole, who is flexing his muscles for them. They both are swooning over him.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
The camera shifts to the right, showing bird sitting in the water, then gets pulled under by an octopus arm.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Marsha stands on the dock, looking very cranky with her arms crossed, not moving. Chris walks up to her, and waves in front of her face. She finally pushes him off the dock, then walks away, all with a scowl on her face.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
The camera moves up to the sun, and it turns into night. Chip and Olive stare into each others' eyes, lovingly.
(Everyone whistles)
Melvin pops up between them, startling them and shoves them apart. The camera zooms out to get a group shot of everyone sitting around the campfire.
Chris stands on the docks of the island.
"Welcome back, to Total Drama Island. Alright, It's time to meet our first eleven campers."
A boat pulls up with the first contestant on it. It departs, showing a tall female, standing at 5'9. She is wearing light blue skinny jeans with a white shirt covered by a blue denim jacket, that compliments her hourglass - shaped figure. Her blue eyes look excited.
"Olivia! Welcome to the island!" Chris greets her.
"Thanks, Chris. I'm psyched to be here! But please, call me Olly. Everyone does."
"Alright, If you say so." Chris gives her a weird look as she walks over to the other side of the dock.
Another boat drives past, and another tall girl with long red hair and blue eyes is left on the docks. She is wearing a white T-shirt with a picture of a robot on it. She has ripped jeans on and red sneakers.
"Maxine! What's up?" Chris asked the music lover.
"Not much, Chris. Are there any boys here yet?" She asks, looking around.
"Nope, not yet. Go over there by Olly." He instructs her.
Maxine walks over to Olly by the end of the dock.
As another boat leaves, an average height girl with straight brown hair is there. She has pink overalls on with a white shirt underneath it and has on white sneakers. Her hazel colored eyes are scanning the other contestants.
"Olive! Great to see you!" Chris welcomes her.
"Thanks, Chris. I'm excited to meet everyone and make new friends during my time here." She answers him. Olive walks over to the other girls and starts small talking with them.
Another female about the same height as Olive walks out of the next boat. This skinny girl has blonde dreadlocks and a yellow tank top with a peace symbol on it. She is wearing a green flannel jacket, torn jeans, and brown sandals. Around her neck, she has an an aquamarine necklace on.
"Everyone, this is Wind." Chris motions her to the others.
"Hello, fellow competitors. I hope that we can all become good friends." Wind waves at them.
"Wow, I feel calmer already!" Olive states, and smiles at the hippy.
As the next contestant gets off the boat, everyone gasps at what they saw. There was a gigantic guy there, with metallic arms and an eyepatch over his left eye. His black hair is tied into a ponytail.
Chris tried to get the attention back on him. "Welcome, Ferrian! Wow, when you said you were tall, you weren't kidding! How tall are you, exactly?"
Ferrian chuckles. "Last I measured, I was 7 feet and 5 inches tall." He nervously answered. He walked over to the girls, who he easily dwarfs. Maxine fainted once Ferrian got off the boat.
"Is she okay?" He asked, motioning to Maxine.
"She'll be fine." Olivia said, the only one not staring at him or fainted.
Everyone still conscious was surprised to see two contestants get off. The two boys were about the same height, and looked like brothers. The first one that got off the boat was very muscular, with green eyes and blonde hair with brown tips. He was wearing a black sports vest with the number "01" on the back in red ink. Navy blue jeans and black and white shoes.
The other boy was a bit taller, but a lot skinnier. His hair was brown and combed back. He was wearing a red polo shirt and blue jeans, and black and white running shoes.
"So, you two must be Kevin and Jason, right?" Chris asked them.
Jason, the skinnier one, nodded. "Yep, we're here to win it! Right Kevin?"
Kevin grinned and nodded. "Yeah, for sure! With both of us here, Our chance of winning have tripled!"
Jason facepalmed. "No, Kevin, its doubled, not tripled."
Kevin suddenly looked ashamed. "Oh, right. I forgot. Sorry, Jason..."
They both walk over to the other contestants and Kevin immediately starts flirting with the girls. He walked over and started talking to Olivia while Jason stood away from him.
Another guy walked out from the boat before it left. He was 6'3, and was a little skinny. His light brown looks like a crew cut, and he has no facial hair and a big nose. He is wearing Tan cargo pants, brown combat boots, and an unbuttoned blue flannel over a gray t-shirt.
"Tate! Welcome!" Chris said as Tate walked over to him.
"Thanks! I want to make a lot of friends on this Island." Tate says as he walks over to the others.
The next contestant was another fairly tall female, with short, brown wavy hair and blue eyes. She looked athletic, but also having an hourglass shaped body complimented by a tight red red cropped tank top, and black yoga pants and red and white trainers.
"Alex! I've heard you like to eat. A lot, actually." Chris rudely greeted her.
Alex replied with a scoff. "That's not my only quality, Chris. Stop selling me short."
As she walked over to the others, another boat pulled up. Another average height girl walked out. She has a skinny body, and pale skin. She had on a white and red striped t-shirt under a gray hoodie with the cuffs inside out. She has a black short skirt and medium length white socks under her knee high black heeled boots. Her most identifying feature, however, was her dark red hair that reaches the tops of her shoulders.
"Welcome, Ginger! Are you excited?" Chris asked her.
"Um, YES! How could I not be?" Ginger said, very excited.
"Your name is Ginger?" Olive asked the ginger girl as she approached the others.
"Yeah, but you can call me Freckles. Everyone does." Ginger answered.
The next contestant startled everyone by her looks. She was very short, at about 5'0, and looked like a little kid. Her hair was light purple, very long but with short bangs. Her big, blue eyes and very dark makeup made all the contestants wonder about her. She has a light pink button up shirt, ripped jean shorts, high black socks, and she has a flower crown on.
Chris looked freaked out when she exited the boat.
"Um, hi Blaire…" He reluctantly said.
Blaire smiled up at him. "Hi, Chris! You don't need to use my full name, you can call me B if you want. I don't mind." She sweetly said as she walked over to the others. Everyone was staring at her.
"Hi everyone!" She greeted everyone sweetly.
They all parted away from her and stood near the end of the dock. Blaire shrugged and stood where they all were.
Chris tried to get the attention back. "H-hey, here's the next contestant!"
The next camper was a female about the same height as Blaire. Her skinny body was covered by a black tee under a camo jacket. She also wore black combat boots and faded jeans. Her hair was brown and long enough to reach below her shoulders. She had on a pair of rounded glasses. She had a scowl on her mouth.
Chris, relieved that someone normal was here, sighed. "Marsha, welcome to the show!"
"Yeah, whatever. Just hurry up with it." She replied with a monotone voice. She walked over to the others, but stood away from everyone.
The next contestant was another guy. He was 6 foot 5, and very skinny. He has short light brown hair and light blue eyes. He is wearing a black t-shirt, navy blue jeans, and black sneakers.
"Hey, Griffin! Nice to meet ya!" Chris greeted him.
"Thanks, Chris! I'm very excited to be here!" He walked over to the others while another boat pulled up and dropped another camper off.
Another guy walked out, with a slim and lean body. He was 5'6, and his dirty blonde hair with streaks of light brown was styled into a bob-of sorts. He wore an orange sweater over an ivory shirt with the collar and cuffs puffed out. He also had brown capri pants, and red shoes. A dark red beanie was on his head, he also had on brown fingerless gloves.
"Thornton! Good to see you!" Chris greeted.
"Please, call me Thorn, mon amie." Thornton replied, then walked over to everyone else and started to converse with them.
The next boat dropped off another boy. He was 5'7, slim but muscular arms and legs. Black short hair gelled up in the front. He has brown eyes and a blue polo shirt, long blue pants, and blue and orange shoes.
"Hey, Tom!" Chris greeted him.
Tom looked very calm. "Hey, Chris. Good to be here!"
As he walked over to the others, Another boat came and left.
Two teens walked out, and they looked very different, but similar at the same time. The one exited first was a whopping 7'2 and very muscular and tanned skin color. His hair was dark brown and short and wavy. He had green eyes and was wearing dark blue workout shorts, a gray short sleeve shirt with black tennis shoes.
The other teen was a lot shorter than the former, at 5'7 and is very skinny. He has tanned skin color. Has green eyes and black glasses on. He is wearing a red sweater vest with a white shirt underneath and a popped collar, tucked into blue skinny jeans. Has red hi tops with white ankle socks.
"Hey! You two must be the twins, right?" Chris asks them.
Cole grins. "Yeah, although I'm older by about 20 minutes though."
Melvin groans. "That doesn't matter, Cole."
The pair walks over to the others as another boat pulled up. A female that is 5'5 with an hourglass body shape walked out. Her hazel eyes match her brown hair that has a streak of dark red in the middle. She wears a blue tee and jeans. She has a red hoodie tied around her waist and has a bandana that covers her neck and mouth.
"Ah, the silent Janna. Welcome to the show!" Chris greeted. Janna ignored him and walked over to the others.
"Alright then…" Chris replied to her action.
The next contestant was a 5'6 female with white skin and slightly curvy. She is wearing a pink crop top and blue jeans with 2 inch pink high heels.
"Here's Victoria everybody!" Chris says to the contestants.
"Like, thanks, Chris. I'm like, so excited to be here! But call me Tori." Tori said.
Lots of the guys were already drooling over her. She walked over to some of the girls.
The next boat dropped off another guy standing at 5'7 with an average body. He has black, neatly combed hair. He is wearing a tan polo with dark brown pants and black and white sneakers.
"Welcome, Charlito!" Chris said.
"Call me Chip, Chris." Charlito answered. He walked over to the others when another contestant appeared.
He is 6'1 tall, and has medium black hair. He wears dark jeans and a white t-shirt and an unzipped sports jacket. Wears black hi tops.
"Hello, Chris. I'm so glad to be here." The contestant said to the host.
"Welcome, Amour!" Chris replied.
As he walks over to the others, the final contestant shows up.
She is 5'7 tall, and has a slim and curvy body. She has long, wavy, light brown hair and emerald green eyes. She is wearing Hollister jeans and a Ralph Lauren top.
"Amethyst, welcome! It's good to see you made it!" The host said.
"Thanks, Chris. It's great to be here!" Amethyst replies to him.

"Yeah, and me and Mel too!" Cole added.
"I want to be with on Ferrian's team!" Maxine whined.
"Alright, everyone. Stop whining! Make friends! Kids these days…" Chris sighs. :Everyone get changed and meet at the top of that giant mountain in 30!"
