Here's some scenes I was thinking about adding to Total Drama 60 Club, but decided against for one reason or another. Usually, it was because I changed the story. Many of these scenes are in there, but different.
Alternate scene of Sammy's use of the cancellation idol, from episode 29: Idle Idol.
Alternate background information needed, and reason for deletion: This scene was written before the cancellation idol, even before Chris got fired. Later on, I replaced the Chris Head with the cancellation idol, for a reason you'll see later. Plus, I wanted to show Cody having to cope over Sierra's elimination, and I allowed myself to let the Tripartite Alliance take advantage of this to get rid of Sammy, by convincing Cody to throw the challenge. Mark would have rejoined, but not via Apehowin Island. The scene after this is how he would have rejoined.
A montage was shown, including a vote for Sammy being put in the box, Mark frowning as he voted, and Sammy smirking.
"OK," Chris said, "so first up, we ran out of packing peanuts."
"Gee, what a disaster," Mark replied. "But honestly, this isn't even dramatic! We all know Sammy's getting the boot!"
"Can I at least have some fun?! Anyway, I've reviewed the confessionals, and I have to say… the votes were TOTALLY predictable. I was hoping for Orange Delta to lose, so this would actually stir up drama, but, you guys blew it. Regardless, while I normally protect your privacy, other than revealing the vote numbers, I am going to go live with your confessionals! Even though we really only don't know one person's vote."
"Sorry, Sammy, but you're the only one that isn't Cody, Sierra, or Eva," Mark voted.
"Sammy. We all know why," Eva voted.
"Sammy. Process of elimination!" Sierra voted.
"Sorry, Sammy, but it's gotta be you," Cody voted.
"Hm, who do I eliminate? I don't want to vote one of them out, but I have to! I guess I'll vote for Mark, because he's got the best combination of strength, mental agility, and popularity to win the final second chance challenge. And if he loses, that's the biggest triple threat out of the game! So, I vote Mark." Sammy voted.
"You do know it makes no difference, right?" Mark said.
"Oh, I beg to differ," Sammy replied, smirking. She pulled out a Chris head!
"OH. NO. YOU. DIDN'T." Eva said, looking somewhat angry.
"Oh yes I did!" Sammy replied, tossing her Chris head to Chris. Eva stood up, causing Sammy to get scared, and Mark and Sierra pushed Eva against a wall.
"Huh, this is unexpected!" Chris said.
"YOU!" Eva yelled. "YOU! YOOOOU!"
"Uh, hate to interrupt during such a well-thought out argument, but, as you saw, the only vote that wasn't cast for Samey was for Mark. Mark, MAAAARRRRRK. So, Mark has been eliminated."
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Eva yelled.
"It's OK, Eva," Mark said. "I'm gonna be just fine." Eva grabbed Mark by the waist, and began sobbing. Mark patted her on the back. "I'll win the second chance challenge. If I don't, win for me, alright?"
"Of course, Mark!" Eva replied, before falling and breaking into tears. Mark knelt down, and lifted Eva head up.
"Just win the next challenge, get Trent voted off, and the Tripartite Alliance is toast!" Mark whispered in Eva's ear. He kissed Eva's freckle. "I'm gonna miss you so much, Eva. If I don't see you at the merge, I'll see you, Sierra, and/or Cody at the finale. After all, we are a perfect couple."
"Yes, we are," Eva replied. "Yes we are."
"I'm totally not being like that!" Eva said in the confessional. "I'm just… you know, playing it up for the cameras! I'm still Eva! I'm still tough! I'm still… I'm still…" Eva teared up. "I'm still in love with Mark!" She began bawling. "Why did you have to take him from me, Sammy?! WHY?!"
"Love changes people," Sammy said in the confessional. "I feel sorry for Eva, but better sad Eva than mad Eva, obviously. In hindsight, I probably should have voted her out. Mark wouldn't freak out at me. Eva, on the other hand…"
"Hey, Mark," Sammy said.
"Yeah?" Mark replied.
"Sorry it had to go down like this. But you heard me! I think you'd do the best at winning your way back onto the show!"
"I'm sure I will." They hugged each other. "Sammy, you're the sweetest girl in the world, right up there with Sierra and Eva."
"Mark, you're the best friend in the world to me. Right up there with Vladimir, but with Vladimir, I'm dating him, you know?"
"My fault! Though, I guess it's also my fault he got voted out. Twice. Karma's a bitch, huh?"
"Yeah, ask Amy! Damn, that was brutal by Eva."
"Well, the fact that she'd do that for me makes me love her even more. But be careful with her. Once she stops crying, she's probably going to be pissed at you for getting me eliminated."
"Thank you, captian obvious. But hey, I still like you." Sammy gave Mark a quick peck on the cheek. "We'll be friends after this, right?"
"Of course we will." Mark walked off to the dock of shame. "Oh, one more thing!" Mark picked up a small stick that wasn't sharp at all, and lightly threw it in the direction of Sammy, causing it to land at her feet. "That one's for you, Eva! Bye, guys! It's been fun! You all were the best competitors I could have asked for, and more! I'm happy to have competed again you all. I leave tonight with my head held high. Even if I don't win, I had a great finish, and I have no regrets. I'll miss all of you!"
"Bye, Mark!" Sierra, Cody, and Sammy yelled back. Eva was still crying.
"I'll miss you, halfback!" Eva called.
"I'll miss you too," Mark replied. "Love you, Eva!"
"Love you too!" Mark walked away, smiling.
Mark rejoins the game after being eliminated
Alternate background information and reason for deletion: In this scenario, there is no Apehowin Island; the eliminated contestants from the 2-team stage would be voted back into the game by the contestants still in the game. Eva, Sierra, and Cody voted for Mark; Lindsay, Tyler, and Beth voted for Harold; Noah voted for Emma; and Trent voted for Gwen. As for getting rid of it? First off, I got rid of Gwen earlier. I came up with this during the 5 team stage. Second, if this happened, the lie about Trent playing the members of the Tripartite Alliance wouldn't hold up, and I'd have no way to get rid of Trent. And lastly, I needed Apehowin Island for filler, since I ran out of ideas and room to work. The focus of 60 Club was always supposed to be the conflict between Bermuda Square and the Tripartite Alliance, but originally, Mark was also going to be more diabolical; there would be no split pact of Bermuda Square; they'd pick off the Tripartite Alliance, and Mark was going to face Eva in the finale after he and Eva eliminated Sierra and Cody, and Mark would win.
"OK," Chris said, "now that that's over, it's time to, for the last time, bring someone back into the game! As you all know, after every 60 Club merge, there is a second chance competition. This merge was no different, obviously, as you all voted for who would come back into the game for the final merge. There was a tie in the votes, so we had a tiebreaker. Would you all like to see who the winner was?"
"Sure!" the others replied.
"I don't really care who it is," Noah said in the confessional. "They probably didn't vote Emma back."
"It better not be Mark!" Lindsay said in the confessional.
"Hopefully, my Marker's back!" Eva said in the confessional.
"I swear, if Mark's back…" Tyler said in the confessional.
"Would be awesome if Mark got back!" Cody said in the confessional. "But my sweet Sierra's still here nonetheless."
"If Mark's back, I'm going to puke!" Beth said in the confessional.
"C'mon, Mark!" Sierra said in the confessional.
"Gwen, I hope," Trent said in the confessional. "I still don't know how she got voted out! Beth was supposed to go home!"
"Alright," Chris said, "let's bring him out!" The tunnel started smoking up, and a siren sounded as a dark figure walked from the tunnel.
Everyone gasped as they made the figure out.
"You're fronting me!" Tyler said.
"What?" Beth said. "But that's impossible!"
"Aw, man, what is HE doing here?" Trent said.
The returnee walked out of the smoke, wearing a black football helmet with a red face mask. He took it off, revealing himself to be Mark, who had put some eye black on, with flames in the background.
"By a 3-3-1-1 vote, and winning a tiebreaker, returning to the game, Mark!"
"That's right, I'm back!" Mark said, looking somewhat angry. "And just so we're clear, not only am I going to kick butt, but I'm giving special attention to my BACKSTABBING BLUE TEAM WHO VOTED ME OFF!"
"But we voted off Sammy!" Cody said. "She used a Chris head! And now, she's out!"
"I know." Mark looked a lot calmer. "I just had to finish using Eva's quote from season 1. You know, 'cause I'm her boyfriend?"
"Marker!" Eva cried. Mark ran up to Eva, and they shared a hug.
"Hey Eva!" Mark replied. He then suddenly cringed. "Eva… too… tight!"
"Oh, sorry," Eva loosened her grip. "I'm just so happy to have you back!" She rubbed her cheek against Mark's, causing Mark to pat her head.
"Well, I'm happy to see you again!" Cody and Sierra gave glares to Lindsay.
"Wait, did you steal my quote from when I returned in season 1?"
"Same situation; final 10, teams just merged, and I'm dating you. OK, that last part wasn't true in season 1, but it's where I got my quote from!"
"But I came back at the final 11 in season 1. It was the final 9 if you don't count me and Izzy, and not counting you… huh, you're right. Final 9."
"And then you got voted off, so it's not gonna be exactly the same. Unless SOMEONE backstabs us," Mark gave a glare to Noah, "I'll be just fine."
"With you back, it's 4 to 4, math whiz," Noah said. "I'm neutral, and Trent's with the Tripartite Alliance."
"Remember what I said in season 1, when I was eliminated for the second time?" Eva said. "About getting revenge? Yeah, this is it. Me, Mark, Sierra, and Cody are going to destroy ALL of you, and take the billion dollars for ourselves."
"You're the most evil players in the game!" Trent said. "Noah's obviously going to vote against you!"
"I gotta be curious, though: what was the tiebreaker, anyway?" Noah asked.
"Turns out, Harold's a major football player, too. It was a game of football. I won, 77-14."
"Actually, Mark won by a field goal," Chris said.
"Point is, I won! Anyway, Eva, Sierra, Cody, you are still getting special attention, but it's not like when Eva said it. Especially to, well, Eva." They chuckled at Mark's remark.
"Aw, what, Gwen didn't make the tie?" Trent said.
"Considering that your entire so-called 'alliance' wanted Harold back, you were the only one who voted for Gwen. Noah voted for Emma, obviously."
"Is that REALLY a surprise?" Cody said.
"Well, she is my girlfriend," Noah replied. "And honestly, I knew she wouldn't get voted back, so I didn't really give a fuck who returned. Anyway, since no one else will, I'll finish the quote. Mark, what have you been doing since you got voted off?"
"Working out to prepare to pound all of your asses," Mark replied. "I seem to remember myself thinking I needed to!" They laughed at the failed quote steal.
"Yeah, not much we can do in the way of Izzy's dialogue here. Unless someone wants to eat raw fish." Everyone cringed at the thought. "Oh no, we can only steal Eva's quote!" Noah rolled his eyes.
"Don't tell me there's tape in the first class cabin!" Mark said.
"OK, I won't tell you," Sierra replied. "You can go see it for yourself."
"Aw, what?"
"Different reason, though!" Cody said. "Eva got a little ticked off over your elimination, so she might have torn up some rolls of duct tape to avoid hurting Sammy, and got it all over the place. And she beat a species into extinction in the last challenge."
"Is Sammy OK?"
"That duct tape was all that stood between me and that girl," Eva replied.
"Hey, she only defended herself!"
"But why would she vote for you?"
"She thought I had the best chance of winning the second chance challenge, duh! She only picked me over you in case of a popularity contest, like this one, simply because I have a bunch of friends, and you're a bit notorious."
"And yet, you date me."
"Damn right! I ain't looking for no popular girl; I want a toughie, like you! LAST thing I wanna date's a princess. I mean, yeah, Ella's sweet, but she's not my type."
"Yeah. You know, the cheerleader and jock couple is so overrated. Let's try linewoman and halfback!" They laughed at that.
"Yep! Sierra and Cody might be the power couple, but we're the toughest couple. You don't want to fuck with us or we will fuck you up!"
"Anywho," Chris said, "it's time for the next challenge! Just like season 1's equivalent episode, it's a series of tortures! Unfortunately, we've been told that we cannot bring any more Sasquatchanakwas onto the show, due to someone turning 90% of the population into clothing." Mark high fived Eva. "So yeah, no more fur hats, boots, or coats for you, Eva."
"Dang, I was going to make some leggings!" Eva replied. The others laughed.
"I thought she made the Sasquatchanakwas extinct!" Sierra said.
"She did. The other 10% was due to me," Chris replied. "We ran out of meat in season 4.
Alternate Noah elimination scene
Alternate background information: This is so old, I hadn't even come up with "the club has spoken!" Noah was originally going to be a lot more diabolical, and the 4th main antagonist, like he was with Mike and Tobias, including using information from Sierra's laptop to blackmail people. However, I kept giving attention to the Tripartite Alliance and Bermuda Square, and eventually decided not to make him so evil, and go with his real character: a very smart floater, who knows how to stay under the radar. Since the winner is determined by a final challenge, and not a jury, floating is a legitimate strategy in Total Drama. Ask Owen (there were multiple episodes where he should have been eliminated). Ultimately, this deleted scene is a relic of when Noah was going to be the most evil contestant since Mal to play Total Drama. You'll see that the scene is a lot like what is is now, but there's a few changes.
"Maybe I can make it up," Noah said. He charged through the crowd, pushing people over in his way. He had to knock down 2 security guards to get to the stairs, and charged up, running as fast as he could. Meanwhile, Beth was finishing her puzzle.
"Honestly, Mark's on the throne," Cody said. "Maybe you should just give up and let Noah win!"
"You think I'm going to let the Tripartite Alliance get weakened further?!" Beth replied. Noah was reaching the final flight of stairs, when Beth did it, and pushed her button. Chris looked it over.
"And Beth is safe!" Chris said. As he did, Noah came onto the deck.
"I'm…" Noah began, breathing hard, "here…"
"Yeah. Everyone else just finished their puzzles. That means, you're out!"
"What?"
"Sorry, but you've been eliminated," Sierra said.
Noah fell to his knees. "NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Noah screamed. Multiple shots were seen, including the people below hearing Noah's cry, the jet shaking a little from Noah's cry, everyone in the Aftermath studio hearing Noah's cry, and even Emma, who was watering the plants, hearing Noah's cry.
"How could I lose a PUZZLE challenge?!" Noah said.
"Because you can't climb stairs?" Lindsay remarked.
"Shut the fuck up, Lindsay. I was the game's greatest player! I did all sorts of coercion to get to this point! I HACKED SIERRA'S COMPUTER TO BLACKMAIL PEOPLE!"
"You did what?" Sierra said.
"I thought you knew."
"Even I knew," Eva said.
"So did I," said Lindsay.
"And me," Mark said.
"And me," Beth said.
"I did, too," Tyler said.
"I knew!" Cody said.
"And I knew!" Chris said.
"And me!" Chef said.
"And me!" James said.
"And me!" said a local.
"And my girlfriend!" said a tourist. "Oh, Noah got eliminated? Come on! Noah is awesome!"
"He also acted like a dictator," Mark noted.
"But he's the funniest guy there!"
"Whatever, man. Point is, Noah?" Mark made the throat slash gesture. "He loses, me, Bermuda Square, and the Tripartite Alliance win!"
Alternate Bermuda Square's Plot scene from episode 23: Bermuda Delta
Alternate background information: This is from the time before I had the cancellation idol. Originally, Chris and Chef were going to be promptly eliminated in the 2 team stage, and Blue Square would be: Mark, Eva, Sierra, Cody, Liam, Kitty, Owen, Izzy, Sammy. Orange Delta would be: Lindsay, Tyler, Beth, Trent, Noah, Emma, and 3 other contestants (I can't remember which ones). I later kept Chris and Chef to develop their characters. I wanted to use the scene anyway, but I then realized that mathematically, there would be no reason to get all the votes against one person if the immunity idol was in play, since if all the votes were against one of them, use the idol, and a split vote would result in a 4-3-2 vote in Bermuda Square's favor! As such, the cancellation idol was born. It also helps that I was throwing in more of a "Survivor" feel to the eliminations.
Eva, Sierra, and Cody sat down around Mark.
"Hey, guys!" Mark said.
"What up, halfback?" Eva asked.
"Look, we have a slight problem. There's 9 on our team, but only 4 of us. Those other 5 know they outnumber us and we're close, so once they figure that out, they'll pick us off!"
"Hm, that's true," Sierra noted.
"Even though we're close to Sammy, I don't want to risk Sammy backstabbing us. But, I think I have a way to get us out of this." Mark pulled out a Chris head!
"So, you're going to hope they vote for you?" Cody asked.
"No, we're going to do that, and gain loyalty for ourselves," Mark replied. "Eva, here's my cell phone. Hold on to it. Cody, get everyone else on the team outside the cabin, and keep your distance. I am going to freak out because someone 'stole' my phone. While I'm doing that, Eva, you walk up, and inform me I dropped this. Then, everyone will vote against me. I'll play the Chris head, and me and Eva, we vote out Owen. He's our biggest threat; too popular, and not allied with us."
"But won't this break the alliances we have?" Eva questioned.
"With me, maybe, and potentially with you, but not with Sierra and Cody! You'll need to vote against me tonight as well, so you seem loyal. Then, you 3 get Izzy voted out next time we lose, and we control the votes! As long as Izzy doesn't get a Chris head, we'll be just fine. Eva, you'll try to 'help' me, and Sierra and Cody, you'll act scared of me. Then, we throw the next challenge, frame Izzy for blowing it or something, get her voted out, and then it's back to business as usual."
The shot cut to the cabins, where things were being thrown out, while the rest of Blue Square was ducking.
"WHAT THE FUCK?!" Mark yelled, throwing things out of the cabin.
"What's going on, Mark?" Cody asked, somewhat scared and panicked.
"WHERE IS MY CELL PHONE?! THAT'S MY ONLY PIPELINE TO COLLEGE SCOUTS!" Mark popped his head out. "ONE OF YOU, OR SOMEONE ON ORANGE DELTA, MUST HAVE STOLEN IT! I NEED CONTACT WITH MY COACHES!"
"Chill, dude!" Owen said. "We'll find it!"
"NO ONE IS GOING ANYWHERE UNTIL I GET MY CELL PHONE BACK! DID I MENTION IT ALSO DOUBLES AS AN MP3 PLAYER?"
"This is Season 1, Episode 2 all over again!" Liam remarked. Mark proceeded to throw a book at him.
"Wrong, it was actually episode 3!" Sierra said.
"Look, guys," Sammy said, "will whoever took his phone just give it up before Eva finds out, and those two turn this island into a graveyard with our bodies?"
"What's going on?" Eva asked.
"No one say anything!" Kitty said.
"What are you talking about?"
"ONE OF THESE ASSHOLES STOLE MY PHONE!" Mark yelled.
"You mean this?" Eva held up Mark's phone. "You dropped it near the campfire, so I figured I'd return it to you!"
"OMVL! THANK YOU EVA I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!" Mark kissed her freckle, as he reclaimed his phone.
"Well, it's what a good girlfriend does!" Eva walked off.
"Owen, if you're watching this," Eva said in the confessional, "you just got lost in the square! Hoo, boy, do we love Chris heads!"
"So," Mark said, "uh… sorry about the little misunderstanding… yeah, guess no one actually stole it…" Everyone glared at Mark. "OK, maybe I overreacted a little." He chuckled nervously.
Mark laughed manically in the confessional. "NO ONE, and I mean NO ONE, fucks with Markus Olloman Taxmal Brucker! Yeah, that's the super-extended version of my name. You won't find that on any legal documents!"
At elimination…
"So," Heather said, "first off, we're switching to marshmallows."
"That's what I like!" Owen yelled.
"Me and Alejandro have reviewed the confessionals, and we gotta say, there's a lot of hate on in this group, which is AWESOME! Normally, we protect your privacy, but in the spirit of airing your-"
"dirty laundry," Mark continued, "you're going to go live with our confessionals?"
"Correct!" Everyone but Mark and Eva gasped, while Mark and Eva gave everyone else death glares, before Mark kissed Eva on the freckle.
"This won't reveal much," Eva said in the confessional. "But what Mark is gonna do, will."
"He seemed nice at first, but I've got to go with ragaholic Mark!" Liam voted.
"I'm voting Owen. Sorry, big guy, but you're a threat!" Mark voted.
"Mark's gonna get us all killed!" Sammy voted.
"Please, please, Mark!" Owen voted.
"Mark's nuts. Sorry, man!" Cody voted.
"It's gotta be Mark! Unless I can figure out who stole my other lucky bow. If anyone, that is," Kitty voted.
"I'm voting Mark, because he's scarier than Eva, Sierra, and Cody combined. That last statement might not sound right, but that's if you're holding Cody hostage!" Izzy voted.
"Unless they wanna leave in body bags," Eva said, staring right into the camera, "they better not say my or Mark's names. ESPECIALLY NOT MARK'S. I vote for Owen."
"I am so sorry, Mark…" Sierra voted.
"Lots of dirt revealed there, huh?" Heather said. "But, in the end, it's 7 votes against Mark. So, Mark, by a 7 to 2 vote, the club has spoken!"
"Oh really?" Mark said. He stood up, and pulled out a Chris head! Everyone but Eva looked mortified, knowing Mark wasn't leaving. He walked up to the table, and slammed his Chris head down.
"That was just the shot heard around the world!" Heather said in the confessional.
"I am so fucked!" Sammy said in the confessional, in a meek voice.
"This isn't the end of me!" Mark yelled. "You better watch your backs! I'll get my revenge!"
"And Owen?" Eva said. "That begins with YOU." Owen gasped, knowing what had just happened.
"Owen," Alejandro said, "with 2 votes against, the club has spoken."
So yeah, these are scenes I came up with, but never implemented. Do you think it could have played out better if these things had happened? What would have happened if these happened? Feel free to share your thoughts and theories.
