Total Drama Retrospective Interviews: A decade-ish later

by VeryUnknown

The network that ran Total Drama wanted to do something to celebrate the annual-ish anniversary of the show. Josh was called in to interview the 24 contestants from the first generation, 13 from the second, and 14 from the third generation to get the tea on their relationships with one another from their time on the show, and since the show, while catching up with the cast.

29. Noah

Noah was already over this before it started, as he went through the hallways, and walked into the room. He barged into the room, and before anyone said anything, he gave a weak wave, before sitting down, "Yeah yeah yeah, hi everyone. Let's get the formalities over and done with! I know you all want the dirt on stuff that happened a decade ago to save this decaying network, and I'm getting paid A LOT to recap everything that's happened, so let's not act like any of us care for anything else but this."

"You know what, I respect your blunt honesty, and wanting to get shit done," Josh admitted, as he picked up the stack of pictures. He had an evil laugh as he gave the first picture, "I LOVE it that Alejandro is first, since he's such a polarizing figure that EVREYONE has strong opinions on. He mentioned something about you finding out that he was cast, and how you were instantly jealous of him, saying that you saw him as a Justin clone when the network was interviewing him when you were interning for Chris."

A HUGE laugh came from Noah's mouth, "That's what he told you? The lies he continues to tell. I was disgusted with him from WAY BEFORE the show because I burst into THIS studio, since I was Chris' intern, and I entered his room, only to hear A BUNCH of moaning. There was a studio executive room, and I refused to enter, so I went elsewhere. About 20 minutes later, I make my way to the room, and Alejandro leaves the room, wiping his mouth, and fixing his hair. I don't know WHO he was eating out, or sucking, but it was CLEAR he was doing something. He gave me the DIRITEST LOOK EVER, because he didn't want anyone catching him, and he was embarrassed. When the season started, he acted painfully nice to everyone, and he went OUT OF HIS WAY to be nice to me, since not only did I know about that moment, but Chris gave me some more information about him and Sierra. Alejandro told the producers that he was from Spain, though it was clear that he was from South America. His brother then exposed all of the other lies he told once it aired. I was trying to warn my teammates, but let them come to their own conclusions."

Josh wanted to get more juice from this, "So you both agree that there was an attempt to keep thing neutral. He mentioned that you started calling him out behind the scenes about his strategy and moves. He also claimed that he called you out for trying to block him from the season, trying and failing to be a producers pet, and complaining about you being a famewhore, while trying to latch onto Owen. How do you see things?"

"He was using his WHORE tendencies that he used on all of the producers to get on the show, and used it on the female competitors, which was VERY obvious with how he moved on from Bridgette, to Leshawna so quickly. He never flirted with single women, so I called him out on it, and he was PISSED. Since Tyler's a dumbass, he told Alejandro about what I said around the Newfoundland challenge, and while we were stuck in Jamaica, Al the eel decided to call me out on this. While Gwen was going in on him, I revealed everything about what he did to the producers, and Al was mad that I tried to get him and Sierra off the show. We both had information that only Chris and Chef had, so it made me look weird in general. Of course there was my elimination, but that wasn't even the worst of it. Not only did he attack me during the All-Stars premiere, but he made a COMPLETE FOOL of himself during an Asian event that we were invited to, as Heather and Emma were a part of the conference/team. He showed up drunk as hell, and acted up because Heather was demoted during the event. Long story short, they tried to attack us, and got beat up for it. I did not want them on the show, since they were obvious producer plants, and would cause the destruction of the show. I was right."

He looked at the production crew, before looking back at Noah, "Some of these interviews are going to get us in hot trouble, whether they are true or not. I don't recall you interacting much with Beth or Bridgette, so tell us about your short experiences with them?"

Noah was given both pictures, "I barely spoke to Beth the entire time the show went on. I found her hygiene to be nasty, since she would spit every time she spoke, and was up Lindsay and Heather's asses, so I made sure to stay away from her. I DID tell Cody not to date her, but he clearly thought that was the best idea. She got mad that I told him this, and she wanted a fight so bad, but I ignored it. Haven't dealt with her since Playa des Losers. Bridgette and Geoff were arguing a lot during the Aftermaths, so I found her to be relatively annoying. Bridgette would start hugging a lot of people on "World Tour", so when Chris said that we should hug others for warmth, I went for her. BIGGEST MISTAKE EVER! I had to apologize to her about that after I was eliminated. Never dealt with either one of them much."

All he could do was softly laugh when he gave Noah the picture of Cody, "So you and Cody got seemingly close very early on, to the point where everyone accused you two of being gay, especially after the kiss. How do you see your interactions with Cody?"

Frustration was imminent on his face, "I... REALLY HATE how SO MANY of the men went with that narrative, and used it to humiliate the both of us, when all of those scoundrels had their own affairs with one another that never made it on the air. Cody... was my closest friend on the first season. Like from the moment we arrived, and the short time I was on that season, he was my best friend. We continued being good friends after he was booted early from the season. After the kiss happened, and everyone made fun of the both of us for it, Cody used it as a reason to give me the boot, and I pretended that it didn't bother me, but it did. I spoke to him about it when he was booted, and I helped him recover after he was severely injured. We both talked about technology, our studies, music, science, psychology, anthropology, books, and all of these great topics, so we became very close. This happened while we sat out of "Action", and he helped me get out of this supposed shell I was in earlier. Once he got with the Drama Brothers, he acted funny, and that was the conflict of it all."

"Ooh, he said that you two stopped speaking for a while, but nothing about a conflict. What happened?"

"So he formed the Drama Brothers with Justin, Trent, and Harold; 3 people that I didn't care for. He got his cool card, so he blocked me on social media, and made comments on interviews that came off as homophobic, as he was STILL being asked about the kiss, and went out of his way to make it known that he was cooler than I was. I did not appreciate it obviously. When it came time for the third season, I refused to speak to him for this reason, and he tried a few times asking me why. I didn't give an answer, but when we finally started talking about things to clear the air, Sierra got involved, and then said that I gave her poor info on the Drama Brothers, which caused Cody and I to not speak for years. She continued to spread a bunch of rumors, I continued to make fun of her, which pissed Cody off. It wasn't until after "The Ridonculous Race" happened, and Cody saw that I had a girlfriend that he wanted to make up with me. We cleared everything up, and he's been a supportive friend ever since. He actually lives pretty close to Emma and I, so I see him often."

Josh just grabbed a next picture, while speaking at the same time, "It seemed like you getting a girlfriend killed the rumors of the two of you being gay, so he felt like it was safe to be your friend again. Kind of fucked up in my opinion. Anyways, what are your thoughts on Courtney? She mentioned that you tried to get her lawyers to block people from the third season."

Noah rolled his eyes at the mention of her name, "Courtney was insufferable. She was talking about how she was running for president on the first season, and I told her that I was doing the same thing, but she acted like I was ill-equipped, so that put us on the wrong foot. Stuff like that continued once we were both eliminated, where she was trying to prove how much smarter she was, especially after she was booted. Her energy was just awful, and I wanted nothing to do with it. She only got worse once she sat out of the Aftermaths, and I told her that if she wanted to do something about it, to get some lawyers. I was SHOCKED that it actually worked, and gave her props for it in the finale. I did contact her lawyers after the TDA special, since I wanted my contract to be looked into, and I wanted the newbies to be investigated, since I didn't trust them. If it got them off the show, so be it, but I was protecting myself, which I was right in doing. Just look at how I was eliminated in that season? Courtney and I got into an argument about me speaking to her lawyers early on in the season, and told Alejandro about what I was trying to do, since the lawyers told her everything."

"I don't remember you interacting much with DJ throughout the show. What are your thoughts on him?"

"Well, he's whiny and an embarrassment. I get loving your mama, but doing everything for her, and ranting about it to anyone who could hear was ridiculous. It was ironic that he was a part of the people acting like Cody and I were gay, while everyone knows that he's been taken to Geoff's bedroom with and without Bridgette. I guess it was sheer deflection, especially with him and Duncan too. DJ continued his rants through the third season, and I just couldn't deal with him at all, and I was laughing when his team got purged. We thought it would be a good idea to approach him for an alliance, and it was MY idea, but of course Alejandro took my idea. I didn't like how Al the eel rigged the Jamaica challenge, and how it wasn't called out, so I did feel bad for DJ at the end. Overall, we have no relationship, and never really did."

Josh gave him the picture of the punk, "You and Duncan definitely had some sort of run-in from the moment you two landed on Camp Wawanakwa, where he threatened to pierce your lip. And he ended up being the final vote that sealed your fate in Total Drama, despite not being involved in the entire season at that point. How did you feel about that?"

Noah had a deadpanned look on his face, "I knew he was a punk, because he instantly picked on someone who he appeared to be the weakest, but never would dare do that to anyone who was taller than him. Him and Courtney were always going to fail, and seeing her ditch him during the special make me chuckle, foreshadowing their awful relationship. Luckily I didn't have to deal with him much at all through the 3 seasons. When he came back in the game, he made me clean his shoes, and I spilled EVERYTHING about Alejandro being a plant that was specifically brought in the show to screw everyone over in and out of the game."

"Duncan mentioned that you went on a rant to the producers, and to him for not only him being allowed to come back, but him being placed on your team, so he felt like you were being inauthentic when you approached him."

"All of that is true, but NOT for the reasons he thought. It had less to do with him, but more to do with the producers trying to rig things for Alejandro. The eel is a producer plant, so doing anything to incentivize him, by bringing Duncan back, who broke his contract meant that they were going to vote for one another. I told Duncan that he is nothing like anyone has ever seen before, and is EONS worse than Justin. I told him that Alejandro has dirt on all of us, and WILL screw him over. I thought Duncan's friendship with Owen was enough, but Duncan went out of his way to humiliate me by making me clean his shoes, knowing he was booting me. When Duncan got eliminated, and humiliated by Alejandro, all I had to say was that I told him so."

Josh gave him the next picture, and had a glee in his eyes, "So I was shocked to hear that not only were you and Eva friends during the first few seasons, but had a pretty huge fallout. What's your side of the story?"

A sigh came from his mouth, "I was shocked to figure out that Eva and I had a lot of similarities. We both have a cynical sense of humor, and look at the world in the same way, so while we were pissed off about our early boots, we bonded about it, and had a lot of fun together. We both have a lot of social issues, and were able to make the best of the situation. I helped her control her anger issues. We were a part of Team E-Scope for goodness sakes, and no matter how ridiculous it was, that time was fun. Things started to slightly change once we sat out on the Aftermaths, and none of us were prepared for another season, which we didn't even get to participate. I wanted to move on with my real life, so I made plans to do so, and Eva was just getting a bit too negative for me. We still had some fun, but it was obvious that we were annoyed with having to sit out again, and doing nothing essentially."

"She mentioned that you changed, and then became a famewhore. Did you know she felt like this?"

"I find it funny, because when I was working with Chris, Eva wanted me to give her a bunch of contacts, and some of them I did, but it was never enough for her. Once I told her that there was nothing else I could do, Eva got mad at me. She didn't like that I started hanging out with Owen once he was booted, and arrived on the Aftermath set, and sometimes him, Izzy, and I would hang out with one another without her, so we had issues with that during the TDA Aftermath. I guess she was told about what happened with Owen and Izzy on "World Tour", and blamed me for it, so I got a VERY cold treatment from the Amazons when I was eliminated. Eva ignored me for a while, and while Izzy and I got into a fight, Eva decided to pull a bunch of pranks at me. This continued while we were on the yacht during the fourth season, and I had ENOUGH. I told off HER, Izzy, AND Sierra, but I was mostly mad at her. We got into a huge fight about everything that happened over the years, and it was good to get it off my chest. I was shocked to see her at the "Ridonculous Race" finale party, but she acted a complete fool, and jumped my girlfriend and her sister. I want nothing to do with her."

Josh was in shock, "Wow... I never knew it was that deep between the two of you. Maybe you two will makeup at some point. Since you and Ezekiel were early boots on the first season, and didn't compete in the second season, you two must have spent a lot of time together. What are your thoughts on him?"

He was given the picture of Ezekiel, and sighed, "Well, I first dealt with him due to him and Eva getting into a heated argument, and I had to separate them. Ezekiel did not know much about anything regarding real life, and he asked me for advice. I saw this as an opportunity to be a tutor, which is what I did. It went well at first, but then he acted like he knew everything, and that I was not good enough. We started arguing a lot during this time, and would use these poor and offensive Indian accents to speak to me, which I saw as racist, so I instantly cut him off. When we were sitting out of "Action", he apologized to me for how things went down, and I didn't forgive him, since I don't forgive that easily, and he's someone I would never interact with by choice anyways. He knew during that time that I was planning on getting in good with the network and Chris, so I can leverage myself, so he started doing the SAME THING, and to trashtalk me, which made things tense between us once again. We were vouching for the same job around this time, and it got nasty, but I was chosen, and that was that."

"I don't remember you and Geoff spending much time together throughout the series, so I don't expect you to have much thoughts on him. But you did deal with him during the spinoff. How was that like?"

Noah was expressionless when he was given a picture of the blond, "I didn't get to spend much time with him for the first season, but for what I have heard and seen, I didn't like him. He seemed like those spoiled, privileged white guys who have never been told no, and bulldozed their way to get whatever they wanted, and I saw that side of him outright on the "Action" aftermaths. People like to blame Duncan for his behavior, but that's how Geoff was really like. He really let things go to his head, and he would go on rants about how much better than he was than the other guys. Geoff was doing a bunch of drugs during this time, and I would try to make a few comments, and he would snap. By the time of the spinoff, it had been about 5-6 years, and I can tell that life... humbled his ass, and took him out of his privileged bubble. It was cool seeing him mentor Brody or whatever his name was, and while we didn't get along due to differing personalities, we did have some good conversations about the show, and both of us grew a lot. We still don't talk, but if Owen wants to drag me to one of his parties, we can share a laugh or whatever."

"What are your thoughts on Gwen overall?"

"I don't really have any... I virtually spent no time with her on the first season, though I didn't care for her and Trent's romance from the short time I was on the season. She was kind of annoying during the "Action" aftermaths with her drama with Trent, but she didn't do anything to me, so I didn't care. We did kind of get along during "World Tour", as we are both sarcastic smartasses, but it was nothing deep or that serious. Overall, I don't have a relationship with her, and never did, which is fine by me. She got mad at me in Jamaica for not being sad about Izzy leaving, and claimed that I was using Owen to build my popularity, since that was something everyone was pushing around at the time, though it wasn't true at all."

Josh went to grab another picture, "So we are going to move onto Harold, who I thought you would have gotten along with, though you two have never been on a season together long at all. He claimed that you were jealous of his awesomeness, intellect, and ability to get the bag and become famous outside of the show."

A huge roll eye came from Noah's eyes, "That man is delusional. he thought that because he knew a bunch of random facts meant that he was smart, and had the best brain, though it only made everyone know that he was an insecure loser who had to be a trivia blabber to overcompensate for it. Harold claims to have tried to bond with me after his elimination, but what he was really doing was trying to size up my intelligence in a condescending way, and try to passive-aggressively insult me. Stuff about Cody was also mentioned, and how the two of them were best friends, so I told him to fuck off and lynch himself. He then claimed that I was jealous of him getting close to Justin and Cody, but I did not care."

"He also said that you continued talking about him on every show you did, and that he beat you up twice. Was that true?"

"I am not a fighter, and never claimed to be a fighter. I was booted from the third season, and I guess people told him what I said about him, so he puffed his chest at me. He knew that I essentially got jumped by Eva, and Izzy, and used this moment to physically attack me, which proved how weak he was. The same thing happened after "The Ridonculous Race", where Geoff told him everything, and Harold fought me AGAIN. He knew that Cody and I had made up by this point, and Harold DID NOT want that to happen."

He was annoyed, "I cannot believe that NO footage of you fighting managed to leak. Anyways, since everyone has an awful experience with the Queen of Mean, I am expecting you to have one as well."

"Honestly, I didn't have many interactions with her. I found her to be foul, and I didn't like her blowing production just like her soon-to-be-boyfriend did. I didn't like how she lectured my attitude during the Gophers, when hers was 12 times worse. Her and Alejandro made me throw up during "World Tour", and would make fun of them time and time again about it. She was stank, but never did anything personally to me. My main issue with her came from an Asian Activists event that Emma and Kitty hosted. They wanted Heather to be there, since she has a big platform, and I told them to not invite her. They ignored my advice, and she as well as the Eel came to act a COMPLETE FOOL. They were drunk out of their minds, had a horrible script, and tried their best to overshadow the sisters. I got in their faces about it, told them that this behavior was why they were getting blackballed, and things got physical. She attacked Emma and Kitty, while Eel and I got into a nasty fight. This event happened about 2 years ago, so 3 years after the spinoff, and about 6 years after "World Tour". "

Josh put the picture of Izzy on the table, "Well, I was told that you and Izzy had a pretty big fallout, and you had someone of a part regarding her evacuation and her breakup with Owen. I was shocked with what she said about it, but I want to hear your side about it."

Noah took the picture of her, and had a hard to read facial expression, "Izzy was always crazy, but her crazy was manageable in the first season, and she didn't mean anyone harm. No one got where she came up with all of these antics, but they would cause all of us to be on our toes during Playa des Losers. I remember us having a conversation about Quantum Physics and stuff, and it hit me that Izzy is really smart, which I was shocked by. Picking at her brain became something I was obsessed with, and we had some REALLY good conversations during the time. Izzy was a very fun person to hang around with during the two seasons, and we were good friends, but something changed... And it happened before the third season."

"What do you think changed about her? Or yourself?" Josh asked with genuine intrigue in his voice.

"Izzy... becomes exhausting to hang out with at times, and is someone that sucks all of the energy from you, but won't give you the time to recover. Also, we both had a fallout over her being an actress, and having some contacts, while I was able to get my own contacts due to being Chris' intern. We both wanted the other's contacts, and it just turned weird. We claimed that we were over the situation, but it was never the same. We tried to get along the best way that I could, but something was missing, and it got even worse when she started getting close to Sierra. I questioned a lot of her motives, and I spoke to Owen about it, and he thought she was acting weird too."

Josh raised his eyebrows, "But neither one of you approached her with this, and decided to blindside her. Apparently a few people said that you were in the tent with a bunch of producers, once Owen and Izzy were being taken care of in Jamaica. What is your perspective on this?"

A nervous expression was all over the Indian man, "They... meaning the producers told me that they could say things that would make Owen and Izzy wake up, and that they could pull some tricks. So... that is what happened. I didn't plot or mastermind anything, but that's the narrative Izzy and Eva like to spin, though I DID encourage Owen to break up with Izzy, since she was becoming more and more off. So by the time I was voted out, they AMBUSHED me about the information, and made fun of how I was eliminated, so I was already in a bad state. They made fun of me for it, and then Izzy decided to strangle me, so we got to fighting. I tried to get myself off her, and that was it. Producers, networkers, and execs wanted to work with me more, and they stopped working with Izzy, so she blamed me for that, and it caused us to argue after the filming of "World Tour". I did have access to the clip that caused her to get blackballed, and while I didn't leak it, I didn't stop it to get leaked by others. Once we were on the yacht, we got into it about all of that, and it caused another blowout between us, but at least it did not turn physical. She happened to have met Emma and Kitty, which caused them to fight. Izzy is a disappointment, and I am disappointed that we aren't close anymore."

"I want to move onto Justin, as you two were some of the first boots ever, you two were the first from the Gophers that got booted, and you said during the special that he was the "Anti-You". What was the sentiment behind that statement?"

All Noah could do is laugh, "The entire thing is ironic now, since it started with me defending Izzy, and now I'm in a good enough place with Justin, and not with Izzy. It all started because the two of them knew one another from the auditioning process, and they were arguing about all of it. I thought it was suspicious that he would never talk when he knew what would probably be aired, but when we were behind the scenes, he could speak well, and yell at Izzy. I told him that he needs to be more mad about his mother pimping him out, and he needs to back off from her. We both got voted out soon after that, and when he arrived, he had an ax to grind with me about the comment I made. He went in on me about my lack of challenge performances, and claiming that I was in the closet. We had a few tiffs over that time in the first season, and he offered me a spot for some charity that involved being in the "Less Fortunate Looking Charity", and I threw my drink at him. Like, who the FUCK does he think he is? Someone who solely became successful due to pretty privilege. Of course what he ended up saying about Izzy ended up being true, and he was NOTHING close to being the nightmare that Eelehandro was."

Josh added his two cents, "Apparently you two made up via Cody. How did that happen, and what did you think about it?"

"Justin and I didn't deal with one another after the first season. He was on the second season and lasted a while, I was on the third season, and he got close to Cody, while I got close to Owen. We kind of went on our separate ways, but we did get into a fight about some stuff that I allegedly said to the Eel about Justin, and me being proud of the Eel taking his spot, but that was not true. Justin confronted me about the news, and he realized years later that it was a lie that Alejandro and some of the others told. It has been a few years, and I... actually, Owen invited Cody and Justin to the premiere for the spinoff. Justin and I talked through everything, and laughed at all of it. He's gained some real life experience, and some brains, so we are fine. Whenever there are parties, we have fun and can take pictures, but we're still not very close. There's just no issues now."

Josh went to grab two pictures, "So you had to have a lot of experiences with Katie and Sadie, as you three were early boots in the first season, and didn't compete in "Action". I remember you being annoyed with them on that Playa special episode, but that's it."

All he could do was shake his head as he tried to laugh, "Katie was... a mess. When she arrived to Playa des Losers, she spoke to Justin and I a lot, since she found the two of us to be the most normal people who were there. I quickly realized that she was stirring up more drama between him and I, so while we did have some bonding moments, I called her out for her actions. She thought I was jealous of her and Justin getting along, and that was only a part of the issue. When Sadie came along, she was someone that I could get along with on a more intellectual level, and I always felt like she would dumb herself around Katie. I would tell her stuff like that, she would of course tell Katie, and it would cause Katie to snap at me, while Sadie threw in her jabs. By the time that episode of us in the resort took place, I was already over their antics."

"At least you were honest with her interaction with Justin bothering you a bit. Interesting that many people say that Sadie is smarter than Katie. How were things between you in the Aftermaths?"

"Well, they wanted to have their input in a lot of the production choices that were made, and I did not think they were equipped for it. I told them both this, and it was Sadie more than Katie who was more mad about it. To be honest, I did not want to be there, and thought it was a waste of time that the people not even competing in "Action" still had to be there. Katie and Sadie would use other people to talk about the other person whenever they had their issues with one another, and I just pointed it out to the other person. They both would tag team in arguments, and made me feel horrible about my Total Drama appearance, claiming that I would never amount to nothing. I got the last laugh, as they never got to appear on the show again, and I was a part of the third season, AND the spinoff. We have no relationship."

Josh moved on to give him the next picture, "Leshawna is next, and I don't remember you interacting with her at all. What are your thoughts on her?"

Noah had to think about it for a while, as he went blank, "We didn't speak much. I thought she was A LOT to deal with when I was on the island. I would hear about all of the stuff she did to Heather, and all of the jokes she told people, but that was it. When I had my little back and forth with Harold, she let me know that she didn't fuck with me, which was whatever. I knew about her and... Justin, and saw her flirting with Alejandro, so I thought I could tell her and some of the Victory members the complete truth about him, but of course she didn't believe me, thought I was jealous, and blew me off. When I was eliminated, and all of them were seething about the Eel, they wanted me to spill everything I knew, and I obliged with no problem. I was salty with how I was eliminated, and he deserved it for the awful stuff he said to and about me. During that time, she did entertain me, but that was the most of our encounters."

"Alright, Lindsay is next. She was also a Gopher, and competed with you on "World Tour", so do you have any thoughts on her?"

"She was annoying on "Island", and I remember everyone saying that they were going to boot her first, due to her relationship with Tyler. People were saying this from like... Day 2, so I was shocked when they kept HER over me. It left me bitter for a bit, and she knew I was heavily campaigning to get her out of there. In the first two seasons, I did not interact with her much, but I DID have to hear Tyler crying and having meltdowns about her being a thotful tramp, as she was getting with Justin. I didn't say anything to her in "World Tour", but she APPARENTLY had A LOT to say about me when I got to the Aftermaths. Izzy, Eva and I just had an argument, and then Lindsay approached me about an hour or two later. She attempted to tell me off with her painfully limited vocabulary. She called me a devil, clout chaser, sellout and whatever, and I told her about sleeping with everyone BUT Tyler for the last 3 seasons. She couldn't come up with a comeback, but she told Tyler who showed up soon enough, and they tried to jump me in an argument. She is nothing but her overinflated boobs. NEXT."

Josh's eyes widened, "Wow... I wasn't expecting you to go in like that, but I'm here for it." He moved to grab the next picture to hand to Owen, "So over these interviews, it has been mentioned that you and Owen were not close in the first season, and people found it convenient that you grew close to him, especially around the time him and Izzy broke up. Where did this turnaround happen for you?"

All Noah could do was roll his eyes, "Let me guess... it's the same contingent that's still pressed and bothered from shit that happened a decade ago. Owen and I NEVER disliked one another, or had beef with one another. I passed out in the second challenge, and he carried me, as literally EVERY OTHER GOPHER passed me. He always found me to be funny, and he didn't annoy me as much as the others, but we never got to talk much on the first season, due to him... winning, and me being the first boot. It wasn't until he got to the Action aftermaths where we started talking and getting to know one another, and Izzy was a huge part of that. He was still going through it with his jaw, so she and I helped him a lot. We went to most of the tourist areas in the GTA, and I saw how cool and nice he was. After the season, he told me that Chris wanted him to be an intern, but since he was caught as a spy, that was revoked, and told me that I should contact Chris."

"Oh, so he's the reason why you ended up being Chris' intern. Many people thought that the internship job was where you saw Owen's popularity, and saw everyone's popularity. Explain how things went about in World Tour?"

"Well they were wrong. We were both trying to make money, and I helped him get some of those commercial ad jobs he did before the third season. We, as well as Izzy and Eva hung out quite a bit in between seasons. Owen was nervous about flying around, and I had to go through every method I could through the season to calm him down. We had a lot of fun during the season, though stuff like him throwing up a sausage, sleeping on me all night, and a bunch of other stuff annoyed me. We did bond a lot, since we thought something was off about Alejandro, Tyler was being pathetic, and Owen didn't like how Izzy was getting close to Sierra. People act like I pushed him to break up with Izzy for selfish reasons, but the Sierra thing was the main reason, and it didn't help that she already sold the cast out to Sierra to get hits on her blog. I forgot to mention earlier that Alejandro told Owen in the Amazon that he was the only friend Owen had, and actually spread some harmful rumors about me to him, so there was an issue there, and it pissed me off. Alejandro tried the same thing with me, saying that Owen molested him, and I was telling Owen that Al was saying this stuff about him, but he didn't believe me. Owen arrived to the Aftermath set, and knew that Izzy and Eva would be after him, so I had to hide him the entire time. We remained good friends after that point."

Josh continued with his questioning, "Izzy mentioned that some of the reality tv opportunities that you and Owen took, were offered to him and her first, which is why you pushed him to break up with her, so you could get those opportunities. There was about a 3-4 year gap between "World Tour", and the spinoff, so what happened there?"

All he could do was roll his eyes, "Izzy needs to stop drinking Sierra's crazy vaginal juice, since it's making her more and more unstable by the day. Owen and I became very close. We graduated school, my parents disowned me, and his parents started leeching off him, so we moved into our own place around the time... "All-Stars" filmed. The plan was to stop the reality shows, since a lot of those opportunities only came around when Owen was blocked by Alejandro from being on that season, and he didn't take it well. Ridonculous Race was definitely fun, and we were in our element. He knew about how I never had a girlfriend before, so I did appreciate him helping me out with Emma, and he grew up a lot actually. He took the game a lot more seriously, and I started screwing up a lot. We were supposed to continue doing reality shows, but Emma and I started dating, and people were interested in... us more, so Owen and I decided to do our own thing. During this time, he went on that double date with Izzy and Gidgette, which... I was a bit weirded out by, and I questioned why he felt the need to hide it from me, so we argued about that for a bit. I went to school after the spinoff, since Emma wanted me to work, and Owen was trying to date Kitty, but it never worked. I think as we got serious, Owen got more frustrated."

An evil grin formed on Josh's face, "When Izzy was interviewed, she revealed that Owen recently called her, saying that he regrets everything, and spoke pretty poorly about you and Emma, indicating that the two of you fell out, and he now resents you. What are your thoughts on that?"

Sadness came over Noah's face, "Owen... was mad that things in his life wasn't turning out like he expected. The reality tv calls stopped coming in for the both of us, and I moved on to go to school. Owen didn't want to go to school, and he was never very good with saving money, or planning ahead. He just used gig for gig without setting himself up for anything in the future. I went to school, and became a reality show agent, which Owen was not interested in. We got into a pretty bad argument about this stuff, and Owen being evicted. I assume that was when he called Izzy, which this is the first time I heard any of this. We're in... a very tough spot, and I don't know how to handle it to be honest."

"Wow... I am sorry that things took a turn between the two of you. I sincerely hope that you two are able to make up," Josh told him with sincerity. He gave the Indian man another picture, "You have made it clear that you don't like Sierra, but we don't have the full story."

"Sierra caused A LOT of problems with Cody and I. She pushed the rumors that I was gay on the blogs, pushed that I had an unrequited love for him, that wasn't true, and claimed that I was jealous of his friendships with the other Drama Brothers. I know some of the other guys gave her stories to make me look bad, and I come to realize that she did this because she was in LOVE with Cody. I got the worst stories written about out of all the cast, and I asked her early on in "World Tour" why she did this, but all she did was deflect and lie, which pissed me off. It was also revealed that Izzy was giving her stories, and it was the main reason why I fell out with her. She was getting Izzy to do a lot of these shady stuff that made Owen and I question her. Sierra is just someone who has no boundaries, and is someone that was not to be trustworthy. Just like the eel was cast to be a plant to stir stuff up and to be a production pet, that is EXACTLY what Sierra's purpose was. I did not want either one of them on the cast, and people thought I was shady for it, but I was soon proven to be right. Sierra fueled things with Eva, Izzy, Owen and I when we were on the yacht a year later, as she wrote about the crazy conspiracy about Izzy's disqualification, and I yelled at her about it, which caused a fist fight between the 5 of us. Cody was also mad that I was calling her out, since they were dating at the time. When they broke up, she blamed me for it, and we exchanged words on social media about it, and she even got Izzy to jump Emma and Kitty. I loathe Sierra."

Josh did note some connections, and shook his head, "It definitely seemed like she was in the center of a lot of the conflicts you had with the cast over the years. What do you think about Trent? I don't think I ever saw you two interact?"

Noah shrugged his shoulders, "I mean, we only competed in 3 challenges together, and it was during the first 3 challenges of the series. We barely competed with one another. Just from the little time I spent with him, he clearly signed on to get a recording contract. He would always sing when he thought the cameras were on him, and was talking about getting an agent. Trent was pretty cool once he got to Playa des Losers, and we started talking due to being Owen's friend in the "Action" aftermaths. He then got close to people like Justin and Harold, which caused me to back off from him, since I don't like them, and Trent was distancing himself from Owen anyways. Trent got what he wanted from the show, blatantly milked his breakup with Gwen, created a band, and is now doing his thing. Don't hate the player, but the game. Owen has invited Trent around to events and stuff over the years, and we do have a good time, but we are barely acquaintances."

"Alright, so Tyler is the last person. You were both early boots on "Island", didn't compete on "Action", and were mid-season boots in "World Tour", so you had to have had a lot of off-screen interactions with him."

"We did interact quite a bit. When he first arrived to Playa, he was the only other guy that wasn't Justin, and he was more tolerable, so I spent a decent amount of time with him. He's someone that is easy to snark on, and he's positive and a fun person to be around, though is still very off as a person. When more people arrived, we hung out with different people, but we did have some fun during those early days. In "Action", he started freaking out about Lindsay flirting with Justin and Trent, and I told him that he should move on from Lindsay, and that she didn't deserve him. Him, Cody, and I hung out a lot during the set, and we tried to do everything together when we sat out of that season. He wanted me to join him on some of those reality shows him and Leshawna did, so Izzy's claim of me not getting some of those offers was BS. I thought we were still friends, but not best friends when we were on Team Chris together. I told him about Sierra and Alejandro being plants, and he ran to tell the eel EVERYTHING. The SAME MAN that is flirting with your girlfriend RIGHT IN FRONT OF YOU is someone you side with over the person who had your back over the last 2 years. When he got voted out RIGHT AFTER ME, I ripped him a new one for how STUPID he was. On the yacht, he was kissing Alejandro's ass all because the latter had no friends, and after I got into a fight with Eel, and Tyler defended him, I cut Tyler off for good."

Josh wanted this to end, "So let's wrap this up. Do you have any significant interactions with any of the second or third generation casts?"

Noah thought about it quickly, "The second cast, no. We were with the ones that didn't compete on Season 5 in a hotel, and some of them were cool, but I didn't remain in contact with any of them before or after that. I am closer to more people from the third cast, due to Leonard being in the spinoff. I saw him and Dave getting into an argument during that premiere, and I had to calm Dave down. I grew close to Dave, Shawn, Jasmine, Sky, and Samey. I've even met people like Topher, Amy, Beardo, Ella, and of course Leonard and Sugar. I have solid relationships with most of them actually."

"Alright, so final question. What have you been up to since the show ended, and what have you learned from the show?"

His face went blank for a bit, "What did I learn? I guess being able to deal with life-threatening situations, and with over-the-top, insane personalities? Not being lazy, and dealing with adventure and the unexpectedness of life? Opening up to people, and being somewhat vulnerable. To tone down my smartassness. Yeah, I'll go with those. Well, I did a bunch of reality competition shows with Owen after "World Tour", and that took off for a few years until the spinoff. We did one or two more reality shows after that, and before the spinoff filmed, but then I started doing a few shows with Emma. After that, I went to school to get my degree, and became a reality tv agent. Life is good."

"Well, thanks for coming," Josh said, as Noah already made his way for the door..
