He moved on immediately, "Nice to know that the two of you are still good. What are your thoughts on Sam? You didn't get the chance to get to know him on your first season, but you were placed on his team during your second season."

"Sam was someone that I liked from the first season, and we would hang out once we had a day off, or we had nothing to do. He taught me a bunch of games to play, since my mother never let me engage in any leisure of that type, and I respected how confident Sam was, despite not looking like a lot of the stronger men in the cast. I did see some of his teammates like Scott and Lightning bully him, and it would annoy me that people like Brick did nothing to defend him. I had to defend him during those times, and he appreciated it. After the season, we both spoke about Dakota's situation, and he wanted me to do some research in order to make things easier for Dakota psychologically, but biologically as well. We had a lot of exciting, but draining talks about the manner, and he called me to tell me that he was going to be on the next season, so we were both excited. Of course he stated that he partially came back because he wanted to turn into Samzoid like his girlfriend."

Josh was not impressed, "How lame and tacky, of you both to get off on her distress. No wonder why some people hate nerds. Anyways, continue."

Cameron ignored his hostile remarks, "It was fun getting the four of us on the same team, and it was nice to have someone else that wasn't Mike or Zoey that I could speak to and bond with. I told him about wanting to be my own person this time around, and he wanted to prove himself to be a good and strong competitor. But he deteriorated from the second challenge onwards, and I just felt really bad for him. The villains started bullying the both of us very badly, so we had solace on that. I tried my best to save him, and to get everyone to vote out Sierra, but no one was buying it, and I know Mike and Zoey was more worried about his mental and physical strength, stating that despite Sierra's craziness, she's a stronger person than Sam. He was my biggest supporter while in Playa des Losers, as Sierra had some HARSH words for me, Lightning and Jo picked their fights with me, and literally EVERY SINGLE PERSON who arrived after me, with the exception of Gwen either physically assaulted me, or tried to. He had to pry Scott off me, and then they got into a huge fight. We've kept in contact over the years, but I have distanced myself once I saw his and Dakota's reality show. We're more telephone and social media friends now, though I appreciate everything he did for me."

"Speaking of Scott, let's move onto him. That one will be good, hahahahaha," Josh laughed, as he grabbed the picture of the redhead. His grin only increased more once he saw Cameron's disgusted face, "So you plotted on Scott from the moment he was put on your team, and things just got worse between the two of you, to the point where you sexually assaulted his girlfriend, and ruined their relationship for fun."

"I DID NOT ASSAULT COURTNEY," the petite man yelled in anger. "Scott was an AWFUL PERSON to me from the START, and I don't CARE about his failed relationship. He laughed at me drowning in the VERY FIRST episode before we were even put on teams, or landed on the island. When Lightning has to be the person with dignity and honor, that says A LOT. I saw him bully people like B and Sam relentlessly through the season, I saw him humiliate Dawn and spread slanderous rumors about her after she was booted in a trash can, I saw him make fun of Staci's weight while she was there, and would sneak into production's tent to get an advantage every few days, and he tried to drown Anne Maria in front of us. He was judging everyone when he literally eats dirt and feces on a daily basis, and smells worse than a grave that's a century old. I tried to get Mike and Zoey to side with me on taking Scott out, but Zoey was still thinking personally with getting Anne Maria out, and I already convinced Anne Maria to vote him out. During the next challenge, he forced us to dig on the wrong side to throw us off, and then essentially gaslight me into telling Mike about his illness. What they DID NOT show was that for the last week or two up to this point, Scott was HEAVILY flirting with Zoey, but she kept on kindly rejecting him, and THAT's one of the main reasons he went so hard for Mike, and I think Zoey was using him to make Mike jealous, due to the Anne Maria thing. I called him out on it, and he was FURIOUS."

Josh literally gasped, and almost fell out of his seat, "OOH, HOW JUICY! I never thought you would be the type to spill tea like that. You did continually tell Scott about Mike's disorder, and I do think you eventually went too far with him, since his issues were with Mike and Zoey, not you."

Cameron did a breathing ritual to calm himself down, "He continuously lied, and tricked me to get me to spill Mike's triggers, and I felt horribly about it. After Mike left, we got into a HUGE blowup, and I told him that he is trailer trash, but in more academically appropriate words, and then he tried to claim reverse racism, saying I called him white trash. The fact that he tried to make it a race thing caused for me to immediately not speak to him for the rest of the season, and I didn't. It wasn't until watching the season back that I saw that he stole my pie on his final challenge. For that entire year, and in the beginning of "All-Stars", I went out of my way to avoid him. In the second challenge, I accidentally crashed into him, and I ran off, since he gave me an evil glare, and made some tweets after the season aired about wanting to trap some of his competitors in the same traps he uses for rats in his trailer. So I join the villains team, and he continuously taunts me about the Sierra mess, and acts like nothing she did was wrong, so I personally felt like I could do whatever, and I still tried being nice to him. He and Duncan decided to crash our raft, and was mocking about it too. I didn't feel bad about using him as shark bait, especially since he's also a "do anything to get by" type of person. The events of my last episode went by, and I will say that I didn't feel bad for Scott per-say."

"You're honestly trash for saying that. You kissed his girlfriend without her permission, tricked him into believing she would cheat on him with you, and then you never apologized to either of the, if I recall this correctly. How did you even deal with seeing him again?" Josh was less than pleased, and was absolutely disgusted by what he was hearing.

He physically shivered, and his teeth started clanking from the memories, "He showed up, and everyone asked him and Gwen how they got eliminated. They explained what happened. Courtney made her side comments about them turning on her, only to be booted next, Scott couldn't come up with a defense mechanism, other than blaming me. I REFUSED to be the blame for it, so I told him that he was the idiot who believed everyone over their own girlfriend. He literally LUNGED FROM THE COUCH to strangle me. I was still recovering from my injuries that caused my elimination, but he did not care. He punched me in the face several times, slammed my face against the floor, kicked me in my chest and groin, dragged me across the room for a bit, and strangled me. Alejandro, Sierra, Lightning, Sam, Jo, Lindsay, Courtney, and Gwen needed to pull him off. Him and Courtney tried to sue me when the season aired, and I filed a countersuit against him as well. So during the next few yearly cast trips, we argued about that. And then several years later, he threw a WHOLE FIT because we all found out that he was still dating Courtney, and he BLAMED ME for it. I told him that he's better off dating his first cousin, and it will only be a matter of time. Haven't dealt with him since."

Josh could not contain his laughter, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHA. So you're telling me that the reason why you were STILL in a cast during the finale was due to the MOLLYWHOPPING SCOTT GAVE YOU, YAAAAAASSS!" He stopped laughing long enough to give Cameron the next picture, "So the first boot Staci is next. Just mention a sentence or two about her, since she's irrelevant."

All he could do was shake his head in approval, "I don't have many thoughts of Staci, but she SURE DOES have a lot of thoughts about me. We never even spoke on the season, but she did fan the flames between Lightning and I. The season ended, and when the cast was released, people wanted to know more information about all of us. Somehow Staci found a bunch of information on my mother, and his father, while making claims that they slept together, and that we were half-siblings. Staci would then make claims about my mother being a junkie prostitute back in the day, and that she fought Lightning's mother. We both were harassed by Lightning's father's people for YEARS due to that, and I had to tell Staci about herself when I saw her at the finale party. Haven't spoken to her since."

"And last, but not least from this cast is Zoey. Please try to not bore me with this one," Josh mentioned, adding in a yawn for special effect.

"Zoey and I got along from the beginning, and she was very open about everything with her life. She and I related about being sheltered, and wanting to make more friends, but her parents did it because they went through some past traumas, while my mom did it because of my health issues due to being a premature birth. Neither of our parents let us get involved with, or watch anything relating to pop culture, and I was homeschooled, while she was everything but. There were no secrets between the two of us for the first half of the game, but then when Mike told me about his condition, it forced me to be put in a position where I had to hide things from us, and I do think that was where a lot of the strain came from, which reached its climax during the final 3. I did not see it from her perspective, but I was the first person that she confided into, and to see that person not reciprocate to her at that point, when I had reciprocated to her initially, hurt. She then flipped near the end, and I didn't get what or why she went such a dark route, but I'm glad that our friendship caused her to break out of that dark place. We lived in the same province, so we hung out all the time, and I decided to not go to high school with her, while remaining to be homeschooled. She took that personally, but it was due to be not wanting to deal with all of those people, as well as becoming a tax-included millionaire."

Josh asked dryly, "So how were things in "All-Stars"? It seemed kind of boring, but getting along with someone that milquetoast is often boring."

Cameron had enough, "That's your problem, not mine, and that's why you have no friends. Anyways, Zoey and I didn't have any issues, and we did well together. We both came in a lot more confident, a lot stronger, and didn't need to get everyone to like us once again. We bonded a lot through the season, since we had no issues with one another, and there was no meddling force. Mike was acting off, and it gave us something else to focus on, and something that could bond the both of us. We wanted to show people again that you can play the game with friendship and kindness; not being cutthroat, mean, malicious, and greedy. Both of us were able to win doing this, and I think it's why so many of the others hate us. After the show, we started a lot of foundations for child development, and mental health, but with all of us being legal, me going to school, and them actually living with one another, there was some natural distance there."

"So here was where you told Anne Maria and others that you felt left out, and didn't know where you belonged with them," Josh stated nonchalantly. "I mean, you completely built your identity around them, and became so reliant on them during your last season, and afterwards presumably. They always say that three's a crowd."

"Listen, I didn't and still don't know really anything about romantic love. I went to university, and they moved in with one another at that point. They had time to spend a lot of time alone, and they realized that I was too involved in their relationship. They would come and visit me ever so often, and during one of these visits, they pretty much told me that we can't go back to what we used to be as a threesome, and that they need time to build their relationship. I was kind of offended, because I didn't realize that they saw me as a clinger-on, and... they had a lot of time together at that point, since they were living together, and I moved away. I confided this in A FEW of our ROTI castmates, and they pretty much tried to poison me against Mike and Zoey, stating that they were relying on me to make themselves feel better, and less like a loser. I told them about it, and it caused all of us to get closer. We learned how to retain a relationship, while still respecting our boundaries, and I speak to them quite often now."

Josh stretched his fingers and hands, before reaching for a smaller pile of pictures, "Alright, now it's time to talk about the people from the first cast that you competed with. How did you feel about Alejandro over the course of the show?"

Cameron's face immediately turned to disgust, "He's a lot worse in person than what the television showed, and he was awful even on TV. Alejandro was one person that thought he could say whatever he wanted to me or my friends, and I would take it, but that was not the case. Every time he would make a sly comment, I would say that he was mad that no one cared about him anymore, and that all of us got on the show because of our talents, not due to "mysterious circumstances". I would call him out on his "injuries", since he changed his story so many times, and nothing made sense. He was VERY jealous of the attention that the new cast got when our season was airing, and was mad that people stopped interviewing him. When I was switched over to the Villains team, he called my mother a prostitute and a skank who didn't have enough money to abort me, claimed that the edit protected me last season, and that I lied about Sierra assaulting me. I told him that his parents publicly disparaged and disowned him to every media outlet, that he clearly bleached his skin, called him a Justin knockoff, and said that none of us had to do sexual favors to get on the show. I pointed out the obvious surgeries he got, and the poor reconstruction, and he LOST HIS MIND. After the merge, I told him that he was going to get booted, and he continued making fun of my heath conditions and mother. I would have rather fallen than gotten any assistance from Alejandro, and I did laugh at him when he was booted. He tried to start another argument, but I refused when he came to Playa. We did get into it after the finale, when the 6 of us were on the plane because we hated their poor attitude, and the last time I saw him, he attacked me during the premiere."

"So the person you assaulted is next. What was your opinion on Courtney throughout the season. She told us that the network had to use ALL OF THEIR WILL to block her form suing your ass," he asked in disgust, while handing Cameron a picture of the lawyer."

Immediate disgust crept up on him, "Courtney made things miserable for every single Hero on our team. For someone who wanted to prove that she isn't as awful as she was portrayed on the show, and being on the Heroes team gave her the best chance to do so, she acted worse than many of the other villains. We would have team morale, and yoga meetings, where she would bring her negative energy amongst everyone, would make her rude comments to everyone, and would try to plant seeds against everyone. She just proved what a coward she was, and I was grateful that she switched onto the Villains. Courtney was another person who thought I was going to take rude comments, and not defend myself, where she consistently made fun of my size, called me a nerd, and claimed that my win was not legitimate. With the kiss thing, I was pushed into it, but she was collateral damage between Scott and I's conflict. When she arrived at Playa, I tried explaining this to her, but Courtney did not want to hear it, and we kept out space. At the premiere party, I think she was expecting an apology, and I told her that she should be mad at Scott because he believed me, and dumped her in front of everyone TWICE. I thought the lawsuit was a bit too far, especially since she didn't do it until MONTHS after the premiere party, when she has always sued people immediately after the event happened. The claims she made in those lawsuits were borderline fictitious and libelous, and I found out later on that she wasn't going to sue until SCOTT TOLD HER TO; and he did after they got together secretly."

Josh's face was stone cold, "Am I supposed to feel bad for you that she tried suing your ass, and Scott advised her to do so? What you did was foul, and you STILL after ALL of these years take NO accountability for it. Anyways, what about you and Duncan?"

"We didn't really interact much on the show, and I don't think that's a bad thing. Like Courtney, I gave Duncan a chance, and ignored any pre-conceived notions that I had of him. When he came over to be on the Heroes, I gave him some advice, I helped him out whenever he needed it, and told him that he needs to be the best him that he could be. I also tried getting into good graces with him by talking about women, and getting advice from him. We did not speak until he got out of jail, and started hanging out with Mike and Zoey shockingly a few years after the show ended. They were able to play the middle between Duncan and Gwen a lot better over the years, but I was ride or die for her, and I felt like he REALLY screwed her over. I would... try to get him to be the bigger man, and tell him to apologize to her, but then he accused me of being in a threeway relationship with her and Trent, said that I was a simp, and that I need to stop being her bitch. He threatened to beat me up, and to send me to be the slaves for the prisoners where he went to jail at. Every time we speak, it never ends well."

He didn't even bother looking at Cameron while providing another picture, "PLEASE do not bore me as you describe how you, the bobblehead became friends with weird goth girl."

Cameron ignored Josh's prudent attitude, "I remember her telling me that she felt bad for me, because I was still going through some trauma about my social anxiety, and some of the others used that to bully me, so she would talk to me, and go out of her way to be nice to, and protect me. She said that if some of her friends in the first season didn't do that for her, she would have never grown as a person. We didn't speak a lot during the first half, but she would tell the other villains to lay off, and she told me that they thought I was weak, and they wanted to pick on me to make themselves feel better. They would comment a lot about my mother, which was stuff Staci revealed to the press, and it really messed me up. Gwen came to console me, since her mother was a single mother, who also didn't have a clean history, so we bonded over that, and I wanted to hear her perspective on the show, and everything that happened. She made a lot of mistakes, but went out of her way to learn from them, and grow as a person. Gwen had to fend several people off of me during her only week in Playa des Losers, as everyone kept on coming for me, and she said that 3 good things came from the show; breaking up with Duncan, not holding any baggage from Courtney, and being friends with me. I didn't get involved with any of that, and she even took me to meet a lot of the original cast, which was nerve-wrecking. There was a point in time where I was speaking to her a lot more than I was speaking to Zoey, and we've never had any problems."

"There were allegations that Gwen told you that Sierra sexually assaulted you when everyone got drunk at a party, and you... ran with it. Apparently Alejandro brought a tape over, and cleared Sierra's name, but neither you nor Gwen cleared it up, nor wanted to admit that you were wrong, and OUTRIGHT LIED ON HER. When it was revealed that Gwen lied about it, why didn't it change your perception?"

He put his arms up to wave in protest, "Woah, woah, woah. Sierra DID assault me, and she did harass me several times through the season. She invaded my space, and thought I was Cody. With the bed situation, I believe it was after the third challenge, there was alcohol that was provided. I was pressured by the cast to get my first taste of it, and I was what's called a lightweight. The only thing I remember was waking up naked to Sierra in the next morning, and Gwen told me what happened. She tried to stop us from going in the room, but was stopped by HEATHER and ALEJANDRO, and she claimed that she heard my screams of panic. You saw on BOTH seasons how he snuck into the production room to alter things, so what he provided to us at Playa des Losers wasn't solid evidence. Either way, I KNOW Gwen would not INTENTIONALLY LIE about me being raped, or potentially raped."

"So you are accusing Alejandro and Heather, the former who allegedly has his own issues with being assaulted, of ASSISTING Sierra in raping you? The lawsuits are gonna be a MESS after this." Josh just rolled his eyes while giving the interview the next picture, "Alrighty... Heather. You were on the same with her for one episode, before she was embarrassingly booted by her boyfriend. What brief interactions did you have with her?"

"Heather really went out of her way to trash us a lot worse than what was shown when she made her cameo on our season. That threw all of us off, and I taunted her about getting the suitcase, as she came back after crashing in the lake. During the season, she consistently glared at me for some reason, and I was already told about her producer privilege. She was mad that she wasn't getting that preferential treatment through the season, and blamed it on people like Zoey and I, so we got into a few arguments about that during the game. I remember arriving to the Playa des Losers, and telling everyone about what Alejandro did, and she LOST HER MIND on me. She said that I was a delusional twat who my prostitute mother should have swallowed, am an anorexic twig who is aging backwards, and that I was a rapist, which I and my mother am NONE of those. I said it was ironic, since her and Alejandro were known for giving favors to producers, and if not that, they would harass and force themselves on producers. She also claims that I lied on Sierra, and that I would be forcing myself on the whore Gwen, which were in their words, so there was A LOT of hostility between us, which only got worse after Al finally showed up. Even after the finale, after they escaped the sharks, the two of them started a bunch of drama against us all, and we all almost fought. Thankfully I haven't dealt with her since."

"Okay whatever. Do you remember anything about interacting with Lindsay? She was only out there for an episode, and was unceremoniously booted. From what I could grasp, she said that you made her feel stupid, and not worth a conversation."

He had a blank expression on his face while receiving a picture of the blonde woman, "I don't remember us having much of a conversation, when we were in the game, or when we were out of it. We would try talking to her, but she was so distant, and closed off. I think her experience on the last season with the losing streak really jaded her, and she wasn't comfortable with anyone on the cast, since none of her friends made it on. Even at Playa des Losers, we didn't connect because she was hanging out with Lightning a lot, and that's not my person. Nothing there with us to talk about."

"And the final person is Sierra," Josh announced, noticing the tension on his face. "Alright, I know this will be a sensitive topic for you, and I don't want to ease any more tension and trauma, so take it a step at a time. You and Sierra got along, so just talk about that for a bit."

Cameron took a huge breath to calm himself down, "I don't want to get into all the details, but I knew she was knowledgeable and smart. Not just about Total Drama, but about a lot of things, like biology, psychology, mechanics, and so much bookwork stuff. It was refreshing, since she seemingly... GOT ME in ways that most people don't, or didn't at the time. We both have single mothers, and there have been horrible stuff said about both of our mothers, so we connected about that as well. We bonded about our insecurities, and she was REALLY WORRIED about Cody, who she claimed she was dating at the time, but was really insecure about him abandoning her. I, and almost EVERYONE reassured her that things were fine, but her paranoia got too much, and she started hallucinating him on my body. I wanted to support and help her, but if MY safety and sanity is on the line, I HAVE to protect myself. After the situation with us in a bed, I was SCARED."

Josh was confused, "You were scared, but you willingly walked into a bed with her. Alejandro was able to get the tape, and there was NO foul play made, there was NO force, and there was NO assault or rape. Apparently you REFUSED to believe this. Why?"

"That was not seen by EITHER ONE OF US until we were booted from the show. Sierra NOR I knew what happened, and I saw the episode where she gave Cody the tea, and essentially DRUGGED him so she could do whatever she wanted to him. It was NOT out of the realm of possibility. Gwen was the only one who had my back at the time, where Sam was knocked out, and Mike/Zoey were doing their own thing, so she was the only one who saw Sierra and I go in the room, who was not Alejandro or Heather, so I believed her. She has never done me wrong, even up until today. Mike and Zoey would defend Sierra, or play neutral, but THEY DID NOT SEE US GO IN THE TOOM, and they were DOING THEIR OWN THING. It caused some tension between us. Having a conversation with Sierra was impossible by that point, and I needed to go, so I offered to quit. Producers did everything to convince me not to quit, and that team swap was a way to get me to stay. I thought that it would cause some distance, but it made things EVEN WORSE. I threatened to sue the network if they did not handle the issue, so they came up with the twist that we could boot someone from the opposite team. We got into a HUGE argument after I was disqualified about it, and then she accused ME of being the rapist because of what happened with Courtney, and she tried to accuse me of raping her. Things got even worse when Al came with the video, and I ALSO knew that he had tampered with photos and videos, which we saw on the third season. After the show, she did a bunch of exposes, but I knew she was mainly doing it to get at Gwen, since her and Cody had this HUGE feud with Trent and Gwen. I tried reaching out to her lately, since Mike and Zoey told me that she was ready to have a conversation, and they've remained friends with her over the years."

Josh was glad that he didn't have to deal with any more papers, "So, did you have any interactions with the third cast, or anyone in the first cast that did not compete in Season 5?"

He had to think about it for a bit, "Well, I am close to Trent due to Gwen. I also met up with Harold, and we became good friends. I thought Cody and I would be good friends, but he apparently was jealous of me for several reasons that I never understood, and the stuff with Gwen and Sierra, claiming that I was lying, and that I was jealous of him. Noah and Owen were okay, but I don't speak to many of them Leshawna was always a nice person, DJ is great, and Beth is pretty cool from what I remember. And with the third cast... I am good friends with Beardo, and Dave actually. I felt really bad for what he had to go through. I've met Sky, Shawn, Jasmine, and Samantha through a lot of my friends, so I am good with them. Generally, I stick with my select few friends."

"So here is the final question. What did you learn from being on the show?" Josh asked, with no intrigue or interest whatsoever, and not even looking at the interviewee.

"Well, I learned so much. Just dealing with a bunch of people was something that I had a HUGE struggle with, and even 9 years later, all of the deprograming my mother did relating to people hasn't been fully reversed. Being homeschooled caused me to focus on my education and be in touch with myself, but it caused me to develop severe paranoia amongst people, and react child-like to certain scenarios. I never even had a bank account before going on the show, so when I won the money, I had to study money management, since my mom never let me have any beforehand, which taught me to invest in stocks and savings, which did help me for when I decided to start a tech company. When it came to my health, I went to the doctors for the first time that one wasn't brought to my home, and they stated that I was severely malnourished, and it contributed to my lack of bodily growth and extremely late (which is still borderline nonexistent) puberty. To summarize everything, this show made me learn essentially about everything that was NOT book smarts. So much brilliance, and so much trauma not only came from the experience of the show, but what it has brought me 9 years later."

Josh got up to usher Cameron outside, "That's nice. Thanks for coming, and go on with your life."
