The camera would turn on to the Aftermath studio, where this time Bridgette and Geoff were sitting on the couch. The peanut gallery bleachers had grown in size, with the seats very packed in three rows, with an empty fourth one in the back. "Welcome everyone, we're back with another Total Drama Aftermath! Geoff is back, and Viola went back to the circus for her next tour, so I guess things are back to normal!" Bridgette pointed at Geoff with both hands, who tipped his hat upon being introduced.
"Yup! It's me and Bridge here, and we've got an exciting episode in store for you dudes at home! So sit tight, just like our bros new in the Peanut Gallery!" Geoff pointed at the camera, before a spotlight would pan over the new people sitting in the bleachers.
In the third row, just behind the first six contestants that were eliminated, sat the former players who cameod in previous episodes. Harold and Mimi were in the spotlight first, the latter focused on her GameGuy Advanced while Harold smiled for the camera. "It is great to be here Geoff, while my Leshawna may not be here, she is still in my heart!" Harold thanked Geoff, putting one hand on his chest as he namedropped his girlfriend.
"Did you know my great great great great great great great great uncle Johnny invented hearts? Yah, before that people just couldn't breathe at all." Staci chimed in, sitting right next to Mimi and hearing Harold.
Leonard was sitting next to her, and even he could see the blatant lie. "That's preposterous! Someone could not have created the heart, since you'd need one to live in the first place!" he pointed out, crossing his arms.
Noah was still in the front row, his head resting on his hand as he smirked in amusement. "Right. Because the heart was actually made by an immortal wizard." Noah said sarcastically, but Leonard went along with it.
"But of course! Way to know your mythology! Said Wizard created the heart so others could live alongside him!" Leonard was now the liar, making Noah roll his eyes in annoyance.
Rodney was sitting next to Leonard, and he seemed amazed by what Leonard and Staci were saying, believing both of them. "Wow... so what if Staci's uncle was the wizard? That's like... woah." Rodney said, absolutely dumbfounded by the topic.
Beth poked his shoulder, thinking the opposite that he was. "Uhh, Rodney? You know they're both full of it right?" Beth asked skeptically, seriously wondering if he was that gullible.
Rodney looked at her for a moment, seemingly entranced just by looking at her. "Whatever you say Beth..." Rodney muttered, lovestricken as usual.
Jo was sitting next to Beth, and she was beyond annoyed with everyone's antics. "Oh shut up all of you! You're all stupid!" Jo yelled at them, which shut up Staci and Leonard quickly.
Valor held her fist out to Jo, sitting next to her. "Good one. I was just about to say that too." Valor complimented her, to which Jo returned the fist bump.
Now that those in the Peanut Gallery had been introduced, Geoff and Bridgette looked back at the camera. "Those are our new guests to the gallery, unfortunately the Fashion Bloggers Tom and Jen were not able to join us. Chris couldn't get them into a contract, but we've already got plenty of company!" Bridgette explained their absence to the audience. The gallery was already kind of cramped, so it wasn't a big loss.
Geoff pressed a button on a remote and a television lowered into view, which everyone looked to. "For our first guest of the night, let's see what happened after they took the wicked cannon out of the show!" Geoff said as he started the post-episode footage.
-After the Cannon of Shame: Benjamin-
Benjamin was flying through the air, clutching his parachute straps tightly as the beach of Kagoshima came into view. He pulled his cord, and out of the parachute came an anime figurine of Chris wearing a smaller parachute. "You have got to be kidding me!" Benjamin yelled as he continued to hurdle toward the land with no sign of slowing down.
Luckily for Benjamin, he landed in the water in the zen garden where the teams had to find their bonsai trees. He surfaced quickly, tossing aside the useless parachute. "There is no way Chris planned that, he was going to just let me die there! Some team sending me to my death like that! I did my part and got booted? Ugh, at least I don't have anything else to deal with." Benjamin complained as he walked out of the water and onto a flower patch.
Walking on the flowers immediately angered an old lady tending them, who quickly pulled out a katana out of nowhere. "Oh shoot! Wait! I didn't mean to step on them! Oh screw this!" Benjamin yelled as he dove back into the water to swim away from her, going as fast as he could for his own life.
-End Footage-
Once the footage was over, the television raised back up into the air and a spotlight moved to the left side of the stage. "You all know him as a former captain and reality tv veteran, it's Benjamin!" Bridgette introduced Benjamin, who walked onto the stage with an unamused look before sitting down on the couch.
Compared to the batch from the last Aftermath, Benjamin wasn't much of a step up in the material he would provide. "Can we please make this quick? There isn't really much to say about my time on the show." Benjamin requested, half embarassed and half bored.
Geoff nodded his head, giving a thumb up. "Sure thing dude, just tell us what you though of being on Total Drama bro. Easy question right dude?" Geoff asked with a smile, leaning back on the couch casually.
Benjamin nodded his head, willing to go along with that. "Of course, Total Drama is just like any other reality show I've been on. I just get robbed for absolutely no reason and I gain nothing from it. You're probably going to force me to stick around for like two more seasons too, so yeah, being here was an absolute mistake." Benjamin answered the question bitterly, very annoyed over his elimination.
Bridgette and Geoff exchanged looks with each other, unsure of how to actually respond to that. "Well... you're not wrong... but look on the upside! You've got more time on screen right now and maybe you'll still win some money! You'll see in a bit." Bridgette tried to reassure him, but Benjamin wasn't really buying it.
Benjamin stood up from the couch, walking past the both the both of them and sitting on the right side of the fourth row in the peanut gallery. "Yeah, I'm done here. I never want to go back on the show. You got that?" Benjamin said sternly, crossing his arms in his seat.
Bridgette sighed in disappointment that her encouragement failed, but she wasn't going to let that bring her down for long. "Well that was Benjamin folks! Yeah, not the most happy about being eliminated. If you know who's next, then I am sure we can expect something similar from our next guest. So let's turn our attention back to the tv!" Bridgette told the audience as the television came back down and turned on.
-After the Cannon of Shame: Ricky-
Ricky was soaring through the air at a nearly horizontal angle, seeing the massive mall quickly coming into view. He pulled the cord on his parachute and it successfully deployed itself, slowing his descent and speed. "Phew. Well that was a massive bummer. Stupid Chris and his food poisoning. Stupid Alex, stupid Richard, they're all stupid!" Ricky complained as he sailed in the air.
At his angle, Ricky was heading straight for one of the windows in the mall, as his angle was still pretty much horizontal gliding towards the mall. "Oh crap, this is gonna go bad huh..." Ricky muttered to himself just before he crashed into the window.
After crashing through the window, Ricky stood up and tossed off his parachute with a sigh of relief. He was unharmed from the crash, but there were plenty of glass shards on the ground. "That one came close! I guess things are turning up!" Ricky chuckled and walked forward slowly, making sure to not step on the glass shards.
He wasn't looking where he was going though, and walked straight into a trophy stand full of Chris trophies, which fell over right onto him with a loud thud.
-End Footage-
After the footage ended, the camera panned over to Ricky, who was sitting with his arms crossed very upset that they had showed that footage. "You guys really just have to show the most embarassing parts for everyone huh?" Ricky asked, glaring at Geoff and Bridgette.
Geoff fired finger guns at Ricky, still smiling. "That's showbiz dude, just how things are y'know bro?" Geoff told him, before giving an added shrug of his shoulders, which didn't help Ricky's mood.
Ricky groaned, not expecting anything better from the party dude. "Whatever. Let's just get this over with. Benjamin was fast, so I wanna be done quick too." Ricky ordered, tapping his foot repeatedly.
The two co hosts still kept their happy demeanors, hoping that would help cheer him up. "Well what do you think of your elimination? Quite unfair wouldn't you say?" Geoff asked, just fueling the fire at this point.
"What do I think of it? Well most of my team was really stupid! They just believed Richard despite how he had been behaving! Like, he was a total pervert and no one cared?" Ricky answered angrily, his foot tapping turning into stomping.
Bridgette was taken aback by his angry response, walking over to him now to try and calm him down. "Hey, don't let it get to you. That's just how Total Drama goes. I've had my fair share of robs. You might get another shot at the million and one in a bit too!" Bridgette comforted him, accidentally spoiling what would come later, which got a grumble from the man behind the camera.
Ricky took a deep breath, controlling himself now. "Ugh. You're right. Happens to the best of us. You better not be lying about that 'another shot', or I'm gonna get all angry again and you won't like that!" Ricky told her, which was an improvement of his mood at least.
Bridgette patted his back as he agreed with her, before sitting back down on the couch next to Geoff. "Well thank you Ricky. You can take a seat next to Benjamin in the Peanut Gallery for now." Bridgette instructed, which Ricky did so.
Ricky and Benjamin gave each other friendly nods, since they were good friends before Benjamin had to switch teams. "Yeah, getting robbed sucks. Hate the game I guess." Benjamin said, feeling the same as Ricky right now.
With them squared away, Geoff and Bridgette turned to face the camera again. "Well, that was Ricky, a little more rowdy than the first! Anyway, up next is our favorite fiery tomboy!" Bridgette said as the television came down.
"AHEM!" grunts came from both Jo and Valor at Bridgette's nameless introduction, making her give a sheepish smile.
"Our favorite fiery tomboy from this season! Let's see what happened with Robin!" Bridgette corrected herself, then letting the footage play.
-After the Cannon of Shame: Robin-
Robin and Leonard were hurling towards the barren shores of Turkey after being launched out of the cannon, both of them angry for different reasons. Robin was hasty and quickly pulled the cord on her parachute, letting it deploy itself. Leonard had his own parachute this time, which he deployed shortly after Robin did. "Stpid Chrs! Ricard cheted!" Robin complained, still muffled because of her bandages.
Leonard had pulled out his spellbook while they glided towards the beach, trying to find something to make this quicker. "Ah, an acceleration spell! Here goes nothing! Wabble dee wee, down goes thee!" Leonard chanted, closing his eyes.
Just as he finished chanting, Leonard and Robin collided, their parachutes getting tangled up with each other and causing them to plummet straight to the ground. "Wht the hll man!" Robin yelled as they fell, before landing on top of Leonard in the sand.
Robin hopped off of Leonard, dusting herself off while the pretend wizard stood up shortly after rubbing his head. "I guess my spell worked..." he said woozily, having taken the brunt of the fall.
Robin chuckled at his misfortune, tossing her parachute aside and leaving him behind. "Yeh, yu dfintley spd this up!" Robin let out a muffled laugh afterwards while walking away.
-End Footage-
After the footage ended, Izzy and Jo were the only ones laughing, upsetting both Leonard and Courtney. "It's not funny you know, someone could seriously have gotten hurt!" Courtney judged them, furrowing her brows.
Neither of them stopped laughing, although it got a bit quieter as Robin walked out onto the stage and sat down on the couch. Her burns had healed up by now, so she looked pretty much normal, with a couple of slightly red spots on her face. "You're looking better Robin! Do you feel any better now that it's been a week since your elimination?" Bridgette asked her, to which Robin took a deep breath and nodded.
"Suprisingly, yes. I don't really have a need to be mad at everyone just because I got eliminated you know? That's just not fair." Robin answered, a smile on her face as she leaned against one of the pillows on the couch.
Pretty much everyone had expected her of all people to be the most mad over her elimination, so there was a quick moment of silence in disbelief. "Wow, you're taking this well brah. You're not mad at all? You got robbed pretty bad dudette." Geoff asked her just to be sure, his eyes wide in disbelief.
Robin shook her head, standing up and grabbing the pillow from behind her. "Nope, no reason to be mad, right now at least. As soon as that shrimp of a nerd makes her way to this studio, which I know she will, I'M RIPPING HER DAMN HEAD OFF! I'll sock her so hard it'll feel like a bomb to the face! Yeah! That'd be fitting!" Robin yelled, changing her tone to being absolutely furious in an instant and quickly ripping apart the pillow in her hands.
Both co-hosts backed up in their seats, Bridgette hugging Geoff while doing so. "Okay, well she's not here, so can we tone it down a little please? I don't think we really need to ask how your experience was do we?" Bridgette requested, knowing Robin's initial calmness was too good to be true.
Robin glared at Bridgette for a moment, before walking away and over to the bleachers to sit down next to Ricky. "I think that was a no Bridge." Geoff said, as if it wasn't obvious enough.
Bridgette nodded, sighing in disappointment that they couldn't get an actual conversation with her. They got some info, creating some worry for Yvette from Bridgette. "Well, that was Robin! Up next we have our orphan tactician whose plan didn't quite come to fruition. So let's see what happened with her!" she announced as the television came back down to start the next bit of footage.
-After the Cannon of Shame: Yves-
Yves had already deployed the parachute when footage started, sailing over Charleston at the moment. "Well, I guess that didn't go as well as I thought as I was hoping it would. I'll have to take a different approach if I want to win one of these I guess." Yves said to herself as she started to drift downwards.
She quickly landed in the same farm grounds they had used during the challenge, looking around to see where the exit was. "Hello? Anyone here?" Yves called out, since none of the farmers or workers seemed to be present.
It wouldn't be long before she got the attention of someone, although it was a raging bull instead of an actual person. "Oh no no no no... fudge!" Yves yelled as she quickly ran away from the bull, before hopping over one of the fences on the farm. She would have to keep running though, as the bull charged right through the fence and the chase just continued.
-End Footage-
Yves was already sitting on the couch when the footage ended, looking just as unamused as everyone else who had been here earlier. "Thanks for having an Aftermath guys. Made me think that this season was our only shot at the money." Yves thanked the co-hosts, which both appreciated.
Bridgette got a smile back on her face from the friendliness, looking forward to actually getting some questions in. "Okay, so Yves, what do you have to say about your time on the show? Anything you wish you had done different?" Bridgette asked, putting her hands in her pockets.
Yves thought for a moment, before finally speaking. "Well... I tried to go with the strategy of forming plenty of alliances at first, but after I failed to get even Yvette to side with me for whatever reason, I just tried to be a floater. That didn't work out, since everyone else was teaming up. So I guess if I tried a bit more with my first strategy, I could have stuck around longer. Still pretty dumb they kept Richard instead of me though." Yves answered, furrowing her brows on her last sentence.
"If you're such a great strategist, why did you not even make merge then?" Noah chimed in sarcastically, getting a chuckle from Tyler sitting next to him.
Yves glared at him, standing up from her seat. "You're one to talk, you were third boot on your first go around!" Yves pointed out, quieting Noah for a moment.
Beth butted in the conversation, now defending Noah. "Well he wasn't really trying either! You make it sound like you had a whole bunch of plans." Beth argued, also standing up from her seat.
Ezekiel also got involved, thinking he knew what they were talking about. "Yeah eh, he wasn't even in this season. Trish was the third boot eh, so I think Yves is the dumb one." Ezekiel incorrectly pointed out, a confident smile on his face.
Adam poked his shoulder from behind, shaking his head at him. "I was the third boot, but they're talking about Total Drama Island, not this season." Adam corrected him, making Ezekiel sigh and shut up afterwards.
Yves rolled her eyes, not even wanting to argue this. "You'll see next time I compete, I've got a whole lot of strategy to hit you all!" Yves warned them, smirking at Noah in particular.
Geoff stood up and looked back and forth between Yves and those she was arguing with, holding his hands up quickly. "Yo guys, y'all need to seriously chillax. We're all here and not on the dinky cruise ship, so let's just have a good time okay?" Geoff told them, which everyone could agree to there.
Yves nodded her head and walked over to the Peanut Gallery, taking a seat next to Robin and briefly glaring down at Noah. "Fine. Let's just get on with this okay? I saw the script, so I know exactly where this is heading." Yves said, putting her hands behind her head and relaxing.
Bridgette nodded, the television coming back down as if on cue. "Up next we have our kindhearted 'thief', so let's see what happened with her!" Bridgette introduced the next ex-contestant, just before the footage would start up.
-After the Cannon of Shame: Laurie-
Laurie was still inside of the bag after being shot from the cannon, flying straight towards Angola at high speed. The footage cut to a view from inside the bag, where Laurie was kicking at the top that had been tied up by Chef. She tried deploying her parachute to burst it open, but it didn't help whatsoever, just making a bigger mess inside the trash bag.
"T-This can't be happening! Chef tied this bag too tight!" Laurie screamed as she continued to kick and pick at the knot from the inside, but there was pretty much nothing she could do. The bag hit a tree and suddenly stopped with a loud thud, before dropping straight to the ground. The slam into the tree had caused the bag to burst from sheer impact, letting Laurie free.
Laurie was severely injured though, barely able to stand. Just as she stood up though, a coconut fell from the tree and conked her on the head, making her pass out from her current injuries and fall flat on the ground with her trash.
-End Footage-
Once the footage ended, most of the Peanut Gallery were shocked and apalled by what had happened to her. "That is too cruel! She was innocent, and did nothing wrong! Why must Mother Earth punish her so?" Dawn asked, feeling great empathy for Laurie's elimination and situation.
Geoff shrugged, both him and Bridgette frowning. "I dunno brah, but it definitely bites." Geoff replied, also feeling horrible for Laurie like everyone else.
Bridgette looked to the camera as no one walked out on stage, letting out a depressed sigh. "Unfortunately, Laurie is in the hospital right now and will not be joining us today. We wish her the best, and hopefully a speed recovery!" Bridgette told the audience, holding up fingers crossed for good luck.
The television didn't rise up like every other time, just staying in place. "With that, we move on to our final eliminated dude, or dudette in this case. She's a hip retro chick, and we'll see what the dealio is with her after we see what happened to her!" Geoff introduced Summer, before letting the next footage start.
-After the Cannon of Shame: Summer-
Summer was still screaming after being shot out of the cannon, furious that she had been voted off. "What the heck was all that about!? We had a four person alliance on the team! Alex switched the votes! I just know it!" Summer shook her fist at the air with her right hand while keep her left hand on her parachute.
Summer pulled the cord once she was about a quarter mile away from Venice, her parachute opening up and letting out the spaghetti and chunks of plate that Valerie and Katniss had made, all of it flying off into the distance instead of onto her at least. "Eeeep! Chris you're so gonna pay for this!" Summer yelled as she continued to hurtle towards the city.
Only a few more seconds passed before Summer plummeted into one of the canals, going pretty much unharmed thankfully for her. She surfaced and gasped for air, sighing with relief that she wasn't hurt. "Phew, I'm still gonna get Chris for scaring me like that, but at least I'm- OW!" Summer was cut off as she was hit by a tourist-filled boat, which continued on as if she wasn't there.
-End Footage-
Once the footage ended, Summer walked out onto the stage, waving at everyone with a smile on her face. "Hi everyone! Hi Bridgette! Hi Geoff!" Summer greeted everyone before sitting down on the couch.
Bridgette waved back at her, delighted by the attitude. "Welcome to the Aftermath Summer! You're looking positive today!" Bridgette welcomed her, while Geoff also waved back.
Summer nodded her head eagerly, both hands on her lap. "Well I'm excited that there even is an Aftermath! I'll be getting plenty more screentime, which is the absolute best!" Summer responded, doing a few small claps afterwards.
Geoff tipped her hat to her, before shooting a single finger gun at her. "Good attitude brah, although you'll really only be getting this short interview for a spotlight, we've got a pretty big event prepared for you all in just a bit, so we can't take too long here." Geoff told her, which somewhat disappointed Summer.
Bridgette was ready to get right to the questions, before things could turn sour. "So what did you think of your time on the show? Did you get the whole Total Drama experience this season?" Bridgette asked her, raising one eyebrow.
Summer thought about it for only a few seconds, then quickly nodding her head. "Yeah, and I gotta say, it ain't fun being betrayed and losing out on a million bucks. But I made some good friends while I was there, like Marty!" Summer answered, still keeping her cheery attitude.
Bridgette nodded in understanding, now also resting her hands on her lap. "Well I'm glad to hear you got something out of it! Is there anything you wish you had done different?" Bridgette asked, hoping she could get a second question in still on good spirits.
Summer shook her head, still smiling. "Nope. I know Brinley backstabbed me, buuuuuuut now she basically set up herself to fail, both with the game and Marty! I can let Marty know that she voted me off and betrayed the alliance, and he'll see all the episodes on his own after this, so I think I'm pretty satisfied with my deck of cards right now." Summer explained her situation, smirking proudly.
Geoff and Bridgette exchanged looks, suprised she had thought that far ahead. "Well sounds like you got everything covered brah, so why don't you sit down with the others so we can get the big event started?" Geoff asked her, pointing over at the Peanut Gallery.
Summer nodded and got up from the couch, walking across the stage to the Peanut Gallery and taking a seat next to Yves. "So you've done a whole lot of planning too huh?" Yves asked her, smiling at Summer.
The 80s fanatic nodded her head, now pulling out her Walkguy to listen to some music. "Yup, I can't wait for it all to work out too." she replied, before popping on her headphones and zoning out.
Now that all of the ex-contestants had been settled in, Bridgette and Geoff looked at the camera while Petunia wheeled out a cart full of expired yogurt cartons. "Now for the big surprise!" Geoff exclaimed, grabbing one of the cartons from the cart. There were 20 of them in total, which wasn't enough for everyone in the Peanut Gallery.
Bridgette grabbed one as well, holding it out to the camera. "We'll be letting not one, but TWO former players back into the competition on the cruise ship! There are 20 yogurt cartons here, and seven of them contain wooden Chris statues, symbolizing how the immunity idols get you back into the game. The six Peanut Gallery viewers who get them have a chance at getting back into the competition, so let's see who gets them!" Bridgette explained how the first part of the process worked, before Petunia would begin to fire yogurt cartons with a slingshot at the Peanut Gallery randomly.
Jo was the first person to catch one, and there was only yogurt in it. "Damn it! This one's a dud! I need another!" she yelled, now ready to try and snatch another carton.
The second carton landed in Adam's lap, which he opened up quickly and sighed in disappointment that it was also a dud. "I get these things taken off the show, so why should I expect anything from them..."
After that, Tyler caught one of the cartons and tore it open, standing up from his seat and jumping with joy as he pulled out one of the statues of Chris. "Sweet! Place at the table!" Tyler exclaimed as he got out of his seat and walked over to Bridgette and Geoff.
Both Bridgette and Geoff had taken a yogurt carton, which they both opened and both ended up being duds. "Congrats Tyler! You're the first particapant in the second chance challenge! Go stand on the other stage with the tiles okay?" Bridgette congratulated Tyler, before telling the jock where to go.
Five cartons had been opened now, and the sixth one was caught by Summer, who opened it up and quickly threw it across the stage once she saw that it was a dud. "Great, so now I just lost my chance to expose Brinley!" Summer whined, before just going back to listening to her music.
The seventh carton was caught by Beth, who opened it and squealed with excitement as she pulled out one of the Chris statues. "Way to go Beth! Go join Tyler and wait for a bit dudette!" Geoff congratulated her, to which Beth hurried out of the Peanut Gallery and to the other stage.
The eigth carton went right to Trish, who opened it and also found one of the Chris statues. "Oh." she said plainly, before leaving to join Tyler and Beth.
The ninth carton went to Rodney, but Jo snatched it from him right away and opened it, angered to yet again find another dud inside. "Aw c'mon! This has gotta be rigged! Why are all the lame guys getting the statues!?" she protested, insulting the three lucky ones.
The 10th carton was caught by Dawn, who opened it and found a plastic statue of Chris's head inside. "Hmm? Why is this one plastic?" she asked, holding it out for Geoff and Bridgette to see.
"Oh, we were going to have all the duds filled with plastic ones, but the budget wouldn't let us, so you got the fake one." Geoff told her, making Dawn sigh in disappointment as she now she just ate the yogurt.
"Why must you insist on reminding me of my loss Mother Earth..." Dawn muttered, setting the fake head down beside her.
The 11th carton was caught by Felix, and he tossed the carton aside quickly when he pulled out one of the wooden statues. "Sweet! You might as well already count me back me in the game!" he exclaimed, then hurrying off to the other stage.
The 12th carton was flying towards Benjamin, but Jo caught it before it could reach him and she threw it against the ground as soon as she opened it, since it was yet another dud. "This is so rigged! Give me one of the good ones!" Jo demanded, storming up towards Geoff and Bridgette.
The 13th one flew onto Noah's lap, and he debated on even opening it. "This is the 13th one, so that should be the unlucky one I guess." he said as he tore off the top, groaning upon seeing one of the Chris heads inside.
"So the 13th one was the 'lucky' carton." Noah said sarcastically as he got up from his seat to join the other four on the other stage.
The 14th carton ended up being caught by Ricky, who opened it and crushed it in his hands once he saw that it was just entirely empty. "Well that's bull. Why do the guys who weren't even part of this season get a chance to compete?" Ricky complained, crossing his arms.
Geoff shrugged, not seeing a problem with it. "Well everyone's stuck here dude, might as well let them in on the fun too!" he replied, leaving Ricky unsatisfied.
The 15th carton was caught by Vanya, but Jo ripped it out of her hands and opened it up. "Finally! Got one!" Jo shouted as she pulled a Chris head out, pumping a fist into the air.
"But that was Vanya's, you've already opened three cartons Jo. Don't you think that's unfair?" Bridgette asked her, giving her a glare.
Vanya gave a wave of dismissal, not really wanting to go back on the show. "Just let her take it, I don't really care..." Vanya said, leaning back in her seat and relaxing now that she was in the clear.
The 16th carton went to Luke, who opened it and stood up from his seat happily. "I found the last one! I'll head over to the other stage!" he said, walking away.
Jo grabbed his arm while he was heading there though, taking his carton from him. "Not so fast! This one's empty! Nice try!" she called him out, before heading to the other stage herself.
Luke stomped the ground a couple times now that his bluff had been called, before sitting back down in his seat.
The 17th, 18th, and 19th cartons were caught by Ezekiel, Courtney, and Robin, all of which were duds as well. "This better be random, or you'll be hearing from my lawyers!" Courtney threatened Geoff and Bridgette, who both remained silent.
Max was sitting his seat with his arms crossed, angry that he hadn't been given one of the cartons. "This is discrimination I say! Absolute buffoonery that one as evil as I was left out of this event!" Max began to pout, then pointing at the co-hosts.
Petunia smirked at his complaints, before firing the final carton directly at his face. "Ouchies!" Max yelped as he was struck, before opening up the carton and finding the last wooden Chris head inside.
"Congrats little dude! You got the last statue! Go join the other dudes on the other stage!" Geoff congratulated Max, to which the villain wannabe just scoffed and left the Peanut Gallery.
Now that all seven Chris heads had been found, Bridgette and Geoff got up from the couch to also walk over to the other stage. "It's time to see who of our seven qualifying players will receive tickets back onto the cruise ship!" Bridgette said as the camera now panned over to another stage on the right side of the auditorium where everyone else was.
On the other stage...
There was a massive grid of tiles on the stage, with a bunch of country flags printed on each tile, as well as faces of players still currently on the cruise ship on some other tiles. There were seven rows, with each one identical in the order of tiles. "This second chance challenge is nearly identical to the concept as seen in Total Drama World Tour, but now adjusted to fit this season!" Bridgette began to explain how the challenge worked while Petunia brought out the massive dice.
Tyler was given the dice first, looking over the tiles in front of him. "Players will have to roll the dice and move the amount of spaces shown on them. There are 24 spaces, with spaces for the twelve competitors still in the game and the twelve countries the gang has visited!" Bridgette furthered explained the challenge, then letting Tyler roll the dice.
He rolled a nine between the two dice, getting a five and a four. Tyler walked across five tiles, stopping on a square with the Canadian flag on it. "You landed on the Yukon square! You have to dodge suction cup arrows for 20 seconds to stay in the game!" Bridgette instructed as two robot guns popped up from the ground loaded with arrows.
"Oh this will be a piece of cake! This is like a super game of dodgeball, but easier!" Tyler said confidently, before instantly being shot by an arrow right on the crotch. He was speechless as he keeled over, both hands on his crotch now as he whimpered in pain.
Beth cringed at Tyler's incident, before being handed the dice herself. "Are all the challenges going to be that painful?" Beth asked worriedly, throwing the dice out in front of her.
She ended up rolling a three between her two dice, a one and a two on each. She hesitantly walked forward before stopping on a square with the United States flag. "You landed on the Ellis Island square Beth! This one won't be painful at all, you just have to come up with an excuse to be let into the U.S. within ten seconds!" Bridgette explained her challenge, which didn't seem nearly as hard as Tyler's.
Beth scratched her head for a second, before actually thinking of something. "Oh! I got it! I have money!" Beth answered, and a 'ding!' sound was played offstage, so it was good enough.
Geoff gave her a thumbs up, then proceeding to give Trish the dice. She rolled an seven, with a six and a one. She slowly made her way across the board before stopping on the Romanian flag. "Transylvania time dudette! You have to memorize and recite the phrase 'Let me pass', after hearing it once from this kids meal toy speaker!" Geoff explained the challenge, but Trish gave a wave of dismissal.
"Concedas transitum..." Trish said without even hearing the toy, and the 'ding!' sound played yet again, signifying her correct response.
Geoff threw the kids meal toy speaker somewhere offstage after Trish passed, moving on without a word since she was just freaking him out. He handed the dice to Felix next, who quickly threw them as hard as he could, getting an 10 with a four and a six. "Sweet! I'm on the fast track already!" Felix exclaimed as he walked across half of the board almost, stopping on a space with Katniss's face on it.
"That's the Katniss space! We didn't know if Izzy would get a statue or not, but she didn't, so you're gonna have to pin her down! It's like fighting Katniss, but a little easier?" Bridgette quickly explained the challenge, before backing away while Izzy leapt out of the Peanut Gallery and ran towards Felix at a full sprint.
Before Felix could even try to stance up to take her down, Izzy tackled him straight to the ground instead. A buzzer sound was played offstage, signifying that he was out of the game. "Seriously!? The girls get easy quiz questions, then me and Tyler get impossible stuff!?" Felix complained loudly, pushing Izzy off of him and standing up.
Izzy got up quickly, laughing at him. "Yup! You stupid boys!" she continued to laugh as she ran back to the Peanut Gallery, Felix soon following her.
Bridgette brought the dice over to Noah next, who threw them out lazily and groaned when he saw that he had gotten a twelve. "Seriously. Can we just get this one over with so I can sit with everyone else? I can't think of worse things besides being on anything owned by Chris." Noah requested, walking across half of the board and stopping on a space with Yvette's face on it.
Bridgette had followed him over to the space, pulling a piece of paper out of her pocket. "You're on the Yvette space, so you just have to answer a quick math problem in ten seconds! What is half of the square root of one squared times two equal?" Bridgette asked him, making Noah sigh.
"Well you'd have to be stupid to not get that right. That's just the number one with extra steps." Noah answered, and the 'ding!' sound played shortly after.
Bridgette did a few small claps for him once he answered, while Geoff brought the dice over to Jo next. "C'mon, big numbers baby!" Jo shouted as she threw the dice, rolling a two, with one on each die. "Seriously? I got the worst thing possible?" Jo scowled as she stepped two steps forward.
Jo had stepped on a space with Wolfy's head on it, while Geoff pulled out a piece of paper from his shorts. "Okay, so, which one of Wolfy's best friends is best known for liking scorpions?" Geoff asked her, a timer starting right afterwards.
Jo had a look of confusion on her face after receiving the question, completely baffled. "Who the heck are any of them? And who even cares who they are anyway!? Give me a better question!" Jo demanded, but was instead given the buzzer sound.
Geoff shook his head, showing her the piece of paper. "Correct answer was Scorpia brah, that was way off!" Geoff told her, thinking that her demands were one long answer.
Jo stormed off angrily, while Geoff just shrugged and brought the dice over to Max. He had trouble holding both though, being a bit heavy for him, but he was still able to throw them both onto the ground. He had rolled a six with a three on each side, which disappointed him. "How infuriating! Evil deserves much better than this!" Max complained as he walked forward.
Max soon stopped on a space with Tristan's head on it, prompting two skateboarding interns to start riding towards Max. "You just gotta dodge these dudes without leaving your square and you move on dude!" Geoff told him, making Max curl up on the ground and cover his head.
The two interns continued to skate towards Max while he closed his eyes, both of them just jumping over him and leaving him unharmed. "Phew, they knew better than to attack evil like me!" Max laughed as he stood back up, getting an eyeroll from Bridgette as she brought the dice back over to Beth for the second round.
Beth threw out a 10, with a four and a six. She hurried across the board, stopping on a space with the Japan flag on it. The same two interns from earlier quickly showed up now dressed in samurai costumes. "Okay Beth, you'll have to fend these guys off for 10 seconds without being knocked out of your square!" Bridgette explained the challenge, handing Beth a plastic sword to deal with the interns' plastic swords.
The two interns repeatedly swang at Beth with their swords, while she just tried her best to block both of them. Unfortunately, the two of them were able to overpower her quickly and make her fall backwards out of her square. "That's it for Beth, sorry dudette!" Geoff announced as Beth stood up and walked back to the Peanut Gallery sadly.
Up next was Trish, who had just been given the dice by Bridgette. She threw them and rolled an eight, with a three and a five. She moseyed over to a square with the United Arab Emirates flag, just waiting for her challenge while Bridgette walked up to her with a shopping bag filled to the brim with stuff. "Okay Trish, you landed on the Dubai square! Which means you have to dig through this shopping bag to find a button that stops your 10 second timer!" Bridgette instructed as she handed the bag over.
Almost instantly, Trish pulled the stopwatch out and clicked it, which ended the timer. "Wow. You did! Aren't you happy Trish?" Bridgette asked her, but there was no response from the emotionless goth.
Bridgette didn't bother pushing any further and brought the dice over to Noah next, who lazily threw them once more. "12!? Again? You've got to be kidding me!" Noah let out in bewilderment and frustration, not wanting to go back to the cruise ship. He did compete in the original Total Drama Cruise Ship, but he had no intentions of ever returning to any kind of cruise ship season.
Noah walked to the final space on the board, which was a tile with Amber's face on it. "Okay, this is a tough one! How many coins are you allowed to spend in a transaction before it becomes illegal in Canada?" Bridgette asked, making Noah groan.
"Are you trying to send me to the show on purpose? Emma would kill me if I got this wrong. It's 25 loonies and five coins worth 25 cents max. There." Noah answered, getting the 'ding!' sound to show he was correct.
As soon as the sound played, Geoff shook Noah's hand repeatedly, before gesturing over to an exit door offstage. "Congrats Noah! You've just earned one of the two spots onto the cruise ship! Pack your bags and we'll see you on the show dude!" Geoff congratulated him, making Noah roll his eyes as he walked away.
Bridgette brought the dice over to Max while Noah walked away, who took them and rolled a six again, this time with a one and a five. He walked onto the space with Yvette's face on it, where Bridgette handed him some kind of helmet. "Oh! You found my helmet of eeeeeeeevil! What do I do with my creation?" Max asked, while an intern brought over a pig.
"Well, you have to fix it and get it to work on the pig in 10 seconds. Go!" Bridgette told him, leaving Max to figure out the one-step puzzle.
Max looked over his helmet, trying to remember how it worked. "Oh! This is easy! My former minion Scarlett fixed it for me last time, so I know what to do!" Max declared as he simply plugged one wire into a socket on top of the helmet, before turning it on and setting it down on the pig's head.
The pig right away glared at Max and tackled him to the ground, so the 'ding!' sound played to signify he was still in the game. Bridgette took the helmet off of the pig and it stopped it's assault, but Max continued to scream even after that. "Oh? It stopped? Well it should know better than to attack pure eeeeeevil! Mwahahaha!" Max let out an evil laugh, but no one was impressed.
Bridgette brought the dice back over to Trish, who tossed them out onto the ground and rolled a two, with one on each die. She sighed and walked two spaces, landing on a space with the Turkish flag. An intern brought out a large rotisserie lamb on a two foot stick, holding it out for Trish to take. "Okay Trish, you landed on the Turkey space, so you gotta chow down on some local cuisine from there! It's called a Doner Kebab! Normally I'd have trouble pronouncing that, but this is all written, so I'm good! You've got three minutes to eat that whole thing!" Geoff explained the challenge to her, winking at the camera.
Trish stared at the stick of meat for a moment, before just looking back at Geoff and shaking her head. "No thanks..." she said and just left. "I'd rather not mess up my makeup..." she gave her reasoning bluntly before sitting back with the rest of the Peanut Gallery.
The two co-hosts looked at each other for a moment to decide what to do, before just walking over to Max. "Congratulations Max! Everyone else either lost the challenge or finished, which means that you get the second spot on the cruise ship!" Bridgette congratulated him, to which Max put his hands on his hips proudly and nodded his head.
"Well of course I get a spot! Everyone else was frightened by my eeeeeeeeevil! Mwahahaha! I'll go get my stuff!" Max then ran off to the exit.
Almost everyone laughed once he was gone, except for Trish and Jo. "I give him two episodes before they kick him." Yves said, just imagining how that elimination would go.
"You're giving him more than an episode? He's getting sent right back here!" Courtney argued, not believing for a second that Max was capable of anything.
Now that the challenge was over, Bridgette and Geoff walked back onto the main Aftermath stage, sitting down on the couch. "Well that was that! Noah and Max will be joining the fray with everyone else! The teams are merged once we see the regular cast again, so we'll see how that goes! Until then, this has been..." Bridgette concluded the Aftermath, before doing the last part in unison with Geoff.
"Total... Drama... Aftermath!"
Contestants Remaining:
Matias, Brinley, Marty, Wolfy, Alex, Raphael, Valerie, Amber, Katniss, Richard, Yvette, Tristan, Noah, Max
Well that was the second Aftermath! I hope you all enjoyed this one, since it had a lot more of an impact on the actual game than the previous one. It's pretty fun to write Aftermaths honestly, since it's a lot more of a casual setting. I was originally going to leave who came back up to a vote between the seven that were in the second chance challenge, but there were just too many variables for the story I was going for and some pairs would just mess everything up. I think you guys will like what I do with Noah and Max. Anyway, have a good day as always and be sure to leave a review! The feedback always helps! See you all next episode!
The camera came back on after the credits, where Bridgette and Geoff were still sitting in the studio with the Peanut Gallery, but now a stack of letters were sitting on the table in front of them. "It's time to go over some reviews from our fans! I hope they don't mind us covering them here!" Bridgette announced, before grabbing the first letter from the top.
Geoff took the letter from Bridgette once she handed it to him and read it over, before looking at the camera. "Okay, so Fritz Electroscreech, we personally think that Cody and Sierra go along great together!" Geoff replied to the letter.
"But I think that Gwen and Cody get along really well too! Either are a cute pair to us!" Bridgette added, before setting the letter down.
Bridgette grabbed the next one and read it over, giggling at the enthusiasm from it. "Primione394, I'm sure Brinley would love the support you're giving her right now! Although Summer kind of already spill the beans about what happened, so just hope Marty doesn't see this? But Yvette isn't really worrying me. Chris checks everyone's applications a lot more thoroughly now to make sure we don't get people like Scarlett back on the show. Thanks for the letter!" Bridgette thanked the viewer before setting the letter down.
Geoff took the next letter and looked it over. "Oh this one is just a quick thank you from NightwolfGamer3, thanks for the support dude or dudette! Online school sounds like it would suuuuuuck dude. No parties or anything! But thanks for understanding anyone that would have that problem." Geoff set the letter down in the 'read' pile.
Bridgette picked the the next letter from the 'unread' pile, looking for an address on it. "Hmm, this one is from an anonymous guest mail source?" Geoff asked, looking over it as well.
Bridgette couldn't an address on it, so she just shrugged. "Maybe, but it has the name of one of our regulars on it, so it's probably still worth replying to! They're glad Richard made it this far, which was a pretty big surprise to us!" Bridgette said, before some grumbling could be heard from the Peanut Gallery.
"Still absolute bull that he outlasted me!" Ricky yelled from his seat, briefly distracting the co-hosts.
Bridgette gave her attention back to the letter, finishing reading it over. "Well you've got a lot to look forward to it seems! Lots of love troubles and alliance troubles building up! We don't know what will happen next, so all we can say is stay tuned and thanks for the support Attackin!" she then set the letter down in the 'read' pile.
Geoff took the next letter and quickly opened it up and skimmed it. "Well MatiasND aka' a, who knows how things will turn out for Matias dude! He's got an alliance, so what could go wrong bro?" Geoff said with some hope before setting the letter down.
Bridgette was already reading the next letter, since it was a much lengthier one. Although because cartoon logic, she still finished it quickly. "This one is from Alexneushoorn. It seems they were related to Summer in some way, but yeah, it's a bummer that she left. She's a pretty fun person! But hey, I'm with Amber on this one! Chris shouldn't be saying stuff like that! Cancelling is really bad, but a good ol' slap to the face would teach him! Glad you liked the challenge too, I know it had me at the edge of my seat! As for the elimination, well, Summer has a plan! So stay tuned!" Bridgette finished responding the letter, putting it into the 'read' pile.
Geoff got the letter after that, unsure of what it actually said. "I think this one from Nobody245 is in a different language Bridge. None of it makes sense." Geoff said, trying to read it.
"You're holding it upside down Geoff." Bridgette quickly helped him, pointing out that the header was on the bottom instead of the top.
Geoff flipped the letter over and read it quickly, then looking at the camera. "Who knows if the alliance is done or not dude! It's always better to be positive! When you're not positive... you're like, negative bro! But Katniss and Valerie though, that's gonna be one heck of a catfight!" Geoff exclaimed, getting a slight glare from Bridgette because of that last part.
Geoff rubbed the back of his head and set the letter in the 'read' pile while Bridgette grabbed the second to last one. She read it quickly and then put it in the read pile. "Okay AnnoyingAlarmClock, I hope Amber's leg is healed up too! It's been long enough, so she should be fine. I don't think her chances of getting anyone else to form an alliance with her and Valerie are very high though. You'll just have to see!" Bridgette told the viewer, then grabbing the last letter and handing it to Geoff to read.
The party dude read the letter quickly before tossing it into the 'read' pile. He quickly forgot what it said and grabbed it again, now just holding onto it. "This one is from Jessthedork, I wonder if they're actually a dork." Geoff said, wondering why they put their name as that. "Well anyway, pretty big bummer for Marty that Summer is gone dude. Like, those two could have been like me and Bridge! Marty has got a lot going on for him, so we'll see if he makes through dude!" Geoff said, before putting the letter back down in the pile again.
Now that all the letters had been read, Bridgette and Geoff waved at the camera. "We hope you enjoyed this extra segment of the show, we just felt it would be cool to connect with the audience than just let the editor handle all the fan letters! See you next time everyone!" Bridgette said as the camera faded to black shortly after that.
