Total Drama Prison
Morning time
Chris McLean was not a good person when it came to TV hosts. Yeah sometimes the host had a heart but most of the time he was a sadistic jerk. His reality shows proved it. He was also narcissistic. A vain man. That didn't stop the executives from giving Chris one more season of Total Drama. The show that made the network so much money. Chris was glad that he could milk the drama that came with the last cast. The only problem was that if this was going to be his last Total Drama show, he should add some new faces to keep the drama fresh. Well, that was a problem until now.
The host with the most was walking from the entrance of an abandoned prison. Getting the permits to film at the location was a pain but worth it since the network would reward him with another season if this one went well. Also, the applications from the first show came in handy. It's a shame that the intern who kept them was injured by Chef. Speaking of Chef, he was picking up the contestants now.
Looking into the camera that was about to go live, in his usual attire with the addition of dark sunglasses, he opens the show with a sigh. "Welcome back. You thought we were finished? No-no-no." Chris chuckles to himself. "With twenty-two familiar faces and eight new faces, you can expect more drama than ever. The challenges are crazier too. Welcome to Total Drama Prison!" Chris exclaimed with his arms stretched up.
An engine of a vehicle could be heard coming close to where Chris was standing. The long dirt road ahead was the only way to get to the abandoned prison in less than forty minutes. Any other practical way could work but an ATV was preferable to the journey. The first contestant wished she had an alternative option. The reason was that Chef was a wild driver.
"People at home meet our first contestant, Violet." Chris extended his hand towards the girl as she got off of the vehicle. Violet looked at the host's hand and started to walk towards the building only for Chris to stop her. "Okay Ms. Mute, don't get too hasty. Here, take this ticket and wait for the contestants to get here." Chris handed the girl a slip of paper with some random letters and numbers on it. Violet gave Chris a quizzical look to which the host shooed her away.
"Chef, chop chop. We don't have all day now."
"You do know there are other options right?" Chef growls at Chris causing him to raise his hands in defense.
"That wouldn't be very wise of the-" Before Chris could finish what he was saying, two figures suddenly ran out of the surrounding woods towards the host. One big girl and one small petite girl. "Sadie and Katie everyone. Boy, do these two share half a brain."
If the two girls heard his rude comment they didn't act like they did or they just didn't care. The two of them decided to hike towards the prison due to them thinking it would be safer than Chef driving. It was way worse than the two thought.
"Like OMG, we almost totally died!" Sadie says as she grabs onto Chris's shoulders while Katie is on all fours panting. "We were walking and then all of a sudden we saw a bear and like it looked at us and literally licked its lips and it sta-"
"SHUSH!" Chris exclaimed. Only hearing Sadie was enough to annoy the host. No words were spoken as he gave both girls a slip of paper similar to Violet's. Speaking of the girl, both Sadie and Katie went over to where she was standing.
Katie spoke to her first. "Ohhhh, hiiiii! You must be a new contestant! Well if you didn't know my name is Katie and this," She pointed towards Sadie. "Is my BFFFL Sadie!" The big girl waves at Violet who in turn feebly waves back.
"That's Violet. She's just the first of many new contestants on the show. Wait, why did you guys hike here? You were warned when you picked THAT option, nobody was going to meet you." Chris let out a sigh.
"Well, we thought it was safe!" Both girls exclaim.
"Much better than the parachuting option." Katie said with a look of satisfaction.
After Katie said that, screaming could be heard in the distance. The three girls looked around but couldn't find the source. It wasn't until a shadow was cast over them that they figured out where the screaming was coming from. The sky. Three silhouettes were seen in the sky rapidly approaching the ground. One of the silhouettes could be seen pulling a cord of a backpack they had on. A parachute opened and the other two glided over to the one with the parachute.
"Well, that was awesome! Meet two new contestants, Michael and Elle." Chris says as said contestants had a bit of a rough landing. The one that had the parachute was Elle, a young caucasian looking girl and she wasn't too happy that she was pushed out of a plane. "Really Chris? Are you freaking kidding me! We could have died! Luckily my brother took me skydiving before so I knew how to use the parachute. Even if it was faulty." Elle ranted and ended with a sigh. The girl took off the gear and snatched the slip of paper Chris was trying to give to her. She went over to where the other girls were, greeting them.
"Well I wasn't the one who picked that option, now was I?" Chris said in a mocking tone. The boy, Michael, just took off the gear, took the slip, and went a little further to the side of the girls. While he walked past the others he tried to make it seem like he was busy fiddling with something just to avoid eye contact with them. It seemed like he was shy.
A voice called out to Chris. "Heyo Chris, I think you forgot about me eh."
Chris groaned out loud. Putting one of his hands on his face, he gestured towards the person who spoke up. "Ezekiel everyone. Probably will get voted off early again."
"No, this time I'll be making it to the merge yo." The homeschooled boy said, believing in some way that he would indeed make it to the final ten. This made Chris roll his eyes with a look of annoyance plastered on his face. Before Chris could tell him off, something was crawling out of a hole near the prison entrance. A flash of red hair could be seen getting at the top of the hole. It wasn't a thing, it was a person. And that person was well known to everyone.
"Izzy! What the heck are you doing down there?"
"Hehehe, oh silly Chris. Obviously I chose the hiking option."
"Yes but I assume you would be hiking on the ground and not under the ground!" Chris exclaimed. "Anyway just take this slip and get in line."
"Isabelle hurry up and get out the hole, it's getting cramped in here!" A gruff was heard under Izzy. "Also why are you not wearing underwear!"
Izzy quickly jumped out of the hole to show off a big buff girl. Her clothes were dirty and ruffled up. Getting out the hole and dusting herself off, she nearly ripped the paper out of Chris' hand. "Oh crap, I think I left them at home."
"Eva, welcome back." Chris greeted her in an awkward tone. The buff Eva didn't say anything to Chris and went to stand next to the others in silence causing the show's host to tug at the collar of his shirt. Waiting for the next person to arrive didn't take too long as a familiar looking, pale skinned goth girl came into view on the back of an ATV. Her black hair that had teal streaks in it was frazzled due to Chef's reckless driving.
"Nice hairdo Gwen, I believe it fits you." Chuckled Chris.
"Oh a prison, are you finally doing time for the torture you put us through?" Gwen retorted as she approached him, glaring. Getting the slip of paper, she didn't wait for a response and saw three people she didn't recognize. "Oh boy, new people that got stuck in this season." Gwen said in sarcasm.
"Oh wow. Gwen you look so beautiful in person," Elle said. She then saw the hair. "Er your hair has seen better days though"
"Nice save."Gwen smiled. The goth girl looked over towards Michael. He was just looking around avoiding eye contact. "You know we don't bite right?" She said in a dry tone. The boy just continued what he was doing. Gwen thought to herself that he was probably an easy target for elimination. Not as easy as Ezekiel. Who was apparently trying to see how far his finger would go up his nose. An easy one for sure.
Next up after Gwen was DJ, who picked hiking. Not surprising from everyone that knew him. What was surprising is when all the rabbits that traveled alongside him in the woods saw that he reached his destination, they all nodded at DJ and returned to the wild. "They were leading me to safety so no bears or wolves would get to me." He explained to Chris and the others. Once DJ got his slip, he high fived Gwen and looked around to see new faces.
"New competition?" He asked.
Gwen nodded.
"Well I wish you guys the best of luck." DJ told Michael, Violet, and Elle. Elle smiled at DJ and responded back, wishing him luck too.
The wait time for campers coming was slowly decreasing. Briggette and Geoff skydived together with the latter losing his hat in the process, causing him to cry out. Heather was next, her option was the ATV though she very much complained about Chef driving. Hazel, a new contestant, chose to skydive. Owen and Noah actually arrived together hiking. Owen was on the verge of passing out but Noah stated it was because he hasn't eaten anything in over ten minutes. Trent also came out of the woods and when he reached the prison entrance, he waved at Gwen. Gwen waved back with a smile showing she still saw him as a friend. Amanda, a new contestant, who chose the ATV actually drove her own ATV, with an explanation that her father taught how to drive it and he was the one that brought it. Hunter, another new contestant, came to the prison on a deer. The feat was more amazing when you consider that he was blind.
LeShawna was next and she chose ATV. Her hair was in an afro similar to Violet's hair. Greeting everyone except for Heather, Leshawna went over to Gwen, her closest friend on the show since Island and Action. "Please tell me we're gonna see Chris locked up in bars?" Leshawna whispered to the goth girl. All Gwen did was shake her head no. Leshawna just let out a dejected sigh.
Harold was ironically next after Leshawna and he chose hiking claiming that he had "mad navigational skills". After reaching the destination, Chris asked him why he was here so late if he left early to which Harold answered with "I just go where nature wants me to go'" Translation: He got lost.
Silver, another new contestant, was very interesting. Not only did she choose skydiving but she also requested that they not give her a parachute. When asked why she didn't want one her answer was cryptic. "It's more exciting to see." Everyone looked up to see a female jumping out of a helicopter. Only until she got closer did someone notice she didn't have any gear on her.
"Chris dude! You let that chick jump without anything?" Geoff exclaimed. Everyone panicked at that moment. Even Chris was a little worried. He didn't want to get sued over the carelessness of one of the cast members. Luckily, however, Silver did have something to prevent herself from being a reason for a lawsuit. The girl spread her arms out to reveal some type of material that was stitched to the suit she was wearing. Reaching the ground safely, the girl took off the suit to reveal that what she was wearing was a wingsuit and she had on hiking shorts and a gray tank top. Oddly enough she was wearing reflective sunglasses.
"Girl are you crazy? You could have almost died!" LeShawana exclaimed. Getting in Silver's face. The girl, even after just skydiving out a helicopter, had an expressionless blank look. The closest emotion that could be seen was boredom and even that was hard to tell.
"I had a better survival rate than the ATV and the hike. Also using only a parachute would be boring would it not?" The girl spoke in a monotonous tone. Before anyone could say anything, another girl could be seen running out of the woods.
"Big. Ugly. Creature. Chasing. Me." The girl gasped. Turns out this girl was another new contestant.
"Was it Chef?" Heather asked. Nobody laughed except for Izzy. Violet smiled at the joke but no one noticed. Kristi shook her head no. She described the monster as clearly as she could after catching her breath. "So this monster had a green dolphin on his head, a skull on his chest, and a smaller creature on its back."
"I'd hate to stop your increible delusional story but there's only so many minutes in this show. Also, I believe that is Tyler, who's falling through the sky." Chris says as Tyler falls on the ground with a thud. The contestants were worried at first but laughed as they saw how ridiculous the situation was. Somehow Tyler was okay but he was wrapped in the parachute making him look like cotton candy.
"Ohhh Tyler you look like a snack!" Izzy said, licking her lips.
"Uh Izzy, you know I'm dating Lindsay right?" Tyler asked.
"No, I mean you look like white cotton candy." Izzy bit into the parachute only to spit out a chunk of cloth out her mouth. "It does not taste like candy but it does cotton. Hehehe ew."
"I love her more and more." Owen says.
After that, Justin and another new contestant named Desne walked out the woods together, talking about modeling and broadway. The last new contestant, Cake, came just a few minutes after them. Courtney and Duncan were next but the latter was driving the ATV, when asked what happened to Chef, Duncan just shrugged. Chef appeared behind Duncan and picked him up by the neck. "Next time you touch any of my stuff I'll make sure it's the last time you get to touch anything, even yourself. You hear me?"
Duncan managed to nod his head yes. Chef let him go and went to get his ATV.
"You delinquent!" Courtney yelled at him. "Must you steal everything you see?"
"I didn't steal it. If I did, he never would have gotten it back." Duncan retorted back.
While they were arguing, Kristi whispered to Geoff "That's the monster who was chasing me." Geoff just gave her a puzzling look. Obviously this girl was kind of nutty, probably on the same wavelength as Izzy. He hoped both of them weren't on the same team together.
Chris once again told the teens that they had limited time. All contestants went back to waiting for the remaining people to arrive. The last three people to arrive were Cody, Beth, and Lindsay in that order respectively. After they got their slip, Chris started to explain the rules.
"Welcome contestants, or should I say prisoners, to the third season of Total Drama! Amongst you guys are some new faces that might be your friends, allies, or enemies in the upcoming weeks."
"This time we added Tokens to the game. These tokens have the ability to change some elements from eliminations to teams."
"Also before I explain that, the slips I gave you guys have your team and placement number."
Everyone looked at their slips to check what team they would be on but that was hard to do since it looked like a random code. Upon some people being confused about where to go, Chris just sighed like a parent who had to deal with his kids on an off day from work. "Okay, since you guys can't figure it out, I'll just tell you,"
Chris pulled out a slip of paper from his back pocket. The paper had teams' names listed. "Can the people with the initials NG step over here. Start in numerical order please." Chris said. Pointing six feet away from him. Everyone looked at each other. This was the moment that was going to set off everything. Alliances, friendships, lovers, and enemies.
The first person to move was Eva. The rest of the contestants who's placement was after hers knew they were in trouble. Eva was tempermatic in Island which got her eliminated early and during action she was taking anger management. Like a predator eyeing it's prey, Eva made sure to intimidate anyone who she thought was a threat.
After Eva, Geoff was the next person to move. Some people actually glared at him, mainly for his actions on Action. As he walked past Elle, they both shared a look. This went unnoticed to some of the contestants but the ones who did notice were wondering what it was about. Geoff reached the spot next to Eva, who didn't pay attention to the party boy. That was fortunate for him.
Once all the people with the initials NG all grouped together, Chris revealed the team's name. "Eva, Geoff, Trent, Elle, Cody, Noah, Owen, and Ezekiel you guys are the No-Gooders."
"Did it take you long to come up with that name?" Noah sarcastically asked the host while rolling his eyes.
"No. It also didn't take me long to decide that the person whose placement is first on your team roster is the leader," Chris mocked Noah. "Also each team leader has immunity once but only if your team ends up having to vote someone off."
"So that means that since Eva is probably the most likely to get targeted, her team can't gang up on her?" Heather asked.
"Yes. Also the main lobby of the prison is where the ceremony will be taking place." Chris looked at the sheet of paper to announce what initials were next. The next initials were DRI. First person to move was Hunter. Gwen was one of the first people to ask the obvious question. "How did you get here if you're blind?"
"Funny story, my name is my occupation as well. I was able to follow the footprints I felt in the ground using my cane until I found a deer, then using my nose, I rode it here." Hunter said with a smile that made most of the other contestants uncomfortable.
"You did all that. Blind?"
Heather walked over towards the self proclaimed hunter and glared at him. "Why is the blind guy the leader? I'm pretty sure he wouldn't be able to do most of the challenges."
"This is rare for me to say but despite her sounding rude and inconsiderate, Heather's right." Beth says. Every contestant (except Hunter) looked towards Chris for an explanation but all he did was shrugged.
"There will be some accommodations and a stipulation for him on a few challenges. Now chop chop, I'm getting hungry."
LeShawna was the next person to move. Her face made it clear she really didn't like the idea of being on the same team as Heather again for a third time but since they became sorta friends last season it was tolerable. She had an advantage at least, Heather was a cunning manipulator and a person who was always planning something. That might've been bad to her and her best friend, Gwen, but as long as she was nice to her sorta rival she could avoid being a target.
"Sup Heather. I see your hair is finally growing in." It was true. Ever since the first season, Heather's hair was mostly shaved off in a challenge that Gwen and Owen worked together in when all three were in the finals. Needless to say that she was angry about the outcome but more worried about her hair since before the second season started, she had to shave it all off. Now after going through wigs, the girl's hair had a buzz cut style going on.
"Leshawna." Was all that Heather responded with.
Duncan was next. He casually walked over to where most of his team was standing. He noticed right away that this team seemed familiar like the one he was on before this season.
"Chris, in case you haven't noticed, I don't appreciate this. I don't even like juvie." Duncan stated while glaring at the host.
"Parole. Officer." Chris smugly said to Duncan, who just waved it off.
Next person was Sadie, who was about to cry about not being on the same team as Katie (who was also doing the same). This made Violet roll her eyes in annoyance. Before the duo managed to make everyone go deaf, Chris explained to them that they would be together due to their sleeping arrangements. Calming down, Sadie reluctantly went to her team.
Harold, Cake, and Violet were the last to make up the team roster to which the whole team name was revealed to be the Death Row Inmates.
"Such an appropriate name. I say that half sarcastically because you have Heather and Duncan on the same team." Noah remarked.
"Hey at least we don't have two early losers on our team, nerd." Duncan replied casually. It didn't matter about the name, it mattered about the players. Duncan believed he had a winning edge since Heather and Harold were on his team. Surprisingly, Harold gained a bit of Duncan's respect since last season. Only a bit. He was still dorkish, weird, and a loser but he made it to the finals.
"Anyway, next is JG." Chris called out the next initials. Gwen moved without a word. She didn't feel any accomplishment in getting the leadership role. It was just luck of the draw. She hoped that the people on her team didn't have something against her. Gwen was happy to see that the person after her was a newcomer, Hazel.
It didn't take time for the others to get into the pace of things. Silver flipped towards her team followed by Justin, who was checking himself in a mirror to see if he was still handsome. Michael walked in a slow, awkward fashion. Beth and Lindsay were the final pair to complete the team.
Heather laughed out loud, startling most of the other contestants. Gwen only gave a quizzical look towards her rival.
"I'm sorry but it's so funny how you have a team full of losers," Heather said. Wiping away a tear, she continued. "Minus a few that's left out, all of you will be wiped from the game early. Especially awkward loser boy over there." She pointed towards Michael, who just rolled his eyes.
"Well, I'm not most likely to get voted off by my team when my immunity wears off." Gwen said.
"All I have to do is be a perfect leader. It'll be impossible to lose with my excellent leadership skills." Heather boasted proudly. The rest of the team just looked at her. Heather's "leadership skills" were just another way of saying "obey me while I find a way to backstab you."
"Heather, you suck as a leader." Duncan said.
"Also you aren't the leader. Hunter is." Harold corrected her.
Heather just glared at both of them but Duncan brushed it off. He knew she wasn't going to vote him off early on, he was too much of an asset to do so. Harold on the other hand was expendable.
After that, all the teams were assembled. The teams were:
No Gooders
Eva
Geoff
Trent
Elle
Cody
Noah
Owen
Ezekiel
Death Row Inmates
Hunter
Heather
Leshawna
Duncan
Sadie
Harold
Cake
Violet
Juvie Niles
Gwen
Hazel
Silver
Justin
Michael
Lindsay
Beth
Crookies
Bridgette
Dj
Kristi
Courtney
Tyler
Izzy
Desné
Katie
Everyone looked at who was in their respective groups. For some it didn't matter since they didn't have a problem with anyone. That couldn't be said for the rest of them. There was also another problem.
"WAHHHH!" A cry arose from the Death Row Inmates. Sadie, the culprit, fell to her knees. Chris, who already went through this in the first season, decided to interrupt her on the spot.
"I'm not dealing with any nonsense from you two," He said while pointing to the BFFs. "So special challenge for the DRI and Cookies. Either come to an agreement about who's on which team or have five people be eliminated at random." The host said before leaving the area for a bit.
"Do we not get a time limit or….And he's gone." Brigitte deadpanned.
"Maybe we have until he comes back?" Tyler suggested. He understood why Sadie and Katie were upset. He was also bummed about not being on the same team with Lindsay but he was glad that he didn't have to worry too much. There were only two guys on Lindsey's team. One that looked like a loser and the other one was Justin.
DJ chimed into the conversation. "Maybe we should let the leaders handle this one."
Everyone on DJ's team agreed except Courtney. The young C.I.T wanted a more Democratic style of voting. Letting the leaders do all the work was a sign of monarchy. It should be a fair decision to who went on to who team.
"Why don't we just vote on it?"
"Why should we do that?" Izzy asked.
"Well I wouldn't want to stress Bridgette out with something so simple." Courtney said. She really hoped that didn't come off as rude. Unfortunately for her, that hope would soon turn into regret.
"You wouldn't want to stress me out?" Bridgette glared at her. "I'm pretty sure you stressed out everyone last season!"
"That was because-"
"You whined to your lawyers or whoever got you back on the show? No, I'm sorry you stressed them out. They had to take a vacation just to get away from you."
By now everyone was shocked by the sudden outburst made by Bridgette. It was a little out of character for her but it was understandable. Courtney was annoying but dangerous too. Her actions in previous seasons only further proved that fact. She made Bridgette angry and although it wasn't that hard to get the surfer girl angry, it was another thing to see her blow up like that. Even most of the contestants we're looking in shock.
"Hunter!" Bridgette called while glaring at Courtney. The blind boy looked in the direction he heard his name being called.
"Yes? Bridgette, if I remember correctly?"
"No need for any discussions or voting. We'll take Sadie for Courtney."
Hunter thought about it for a moment. It was quiet for 3 mins. Then suddenly, Hunter started nodding his head. "Okay. I accept this offer."
With both Katie and Sadie squealing as well as thanking both leaders, the teams were deemed completed until further notice. Everyone was now wondering what would go on this season. There were big threats and small fry amongst all of them.
Waiting for Chris to come back, some of the contestants decided to chat with each other and get to know some of the new contestants.
"Hiii, I'm Lindsay and this is Beth!" Lindsay introduces herself and Beth to the new contestants on their team. Gwen rolled her eyes.
"Lindsay, not to be rude but I saw the show. No need to introduce yourself." Silver said. It seems like to the team that she would be speaking in monotone for a while. "Glad to meet you though." Her lax face made that statement seem sarcastic but they didn't sense any malice out of her.
"Well I haven't been on any seasons excluding this one," A cheery gruff voice said. Hazel, who was listening to the introduction, came over to see her teammates. "Nice to meet ya!" She gave Silver a big friendly, very hard, slap on the back.
The sound was so loud that everyone in the entire area heard it and it sounded really painful.
"Hazel was it?" Silver asked with a brow raised. The energetic girl nodded, not noticing a shift in the other girl's attitude.
"That's a nice name. Stay away from me."
Hazel laughed away the cold tone the monotone girl had in her voice. The girl showed her obliviousness to other people's emotions. Especially since she was still smiling.
Bridgette, who was looking at the whole ordeal, called out to Silver. "Did that not hurt?"
"Yes. I'm in pain here."
Even in pain, she had a straight face that was not reacting to the current situation. Seems like an advantage to have during some challenges.
Everyone went back to talking amongst each other. Over by the Death Row Inmates, the team already had conflict with each other.
"Doris should be the one we eliminate first if we have to vote off someone." Duncan said.
"Why me!" Harold exclaimed.
"Because you serve no use for the team man. This is my expertise even if it's a federal prison."
"Delinquent boy is right. Harold, you're useless as ever." Heather chimed in, angering Leshawna in the process.
"Heather, if I were you, I wouldn't be feeling safe."
Both girls glared at each other before turning away.
"Ideally, it would've been good for them to actually try and work together but since they already established relationships in past seasons, it seemed that would be difficult." Chris said as he came back from meditating. Looking over the teams he saw that Katie and Sadie were happy and the two respective teams made a decision.
Seeing the show host, most of the contestants focused on him. Some wanted to know what the Tokens consist of while others just wanted this season to begin already.
"So Chris, what's the deal with the Tokens?" Trent asked.
"Glad you asked," Chris cleared his throat. "Scattered throughout the whole Island are Chris Tokens or Tokens. These tokens range from mediocre to game changer." He reached in his pocket to show an example. He pulled out a coin and showed it to them all. The shape and size were that of a normal coin save for a few differences. The first major one was that both sides of the coin had Chris' face on it, answering the most obvious question. The second difference was the color. It was purple instead of regular silver.
"This is an Immunity Token. Self explanatory name but for those of you who are idiots, if your team is on the chopping block and you happen to be the unlucky one to get chosen, then this coin will make it so you're immune and go to the second most voted person for that time." Chris explained. After the explanation, Chris tossed the coin somewhere in the woods.
"How many coins are like that in the game?" Elle asked.
"Twenty-three in total. A list will be at the entrance of the prison. Don't steal it now." Joked Chris.
Everyone groaned at the terrible joke Chris attempted.
"Anyway for sleeping quarters, it is recommended that you share a room/cell with someone on your team, they must be the same gender though."
A few people were stoked hearing this. Some were already thinking about potential roommates and others really didn't care that much.
"Chris, can you please tell us where the confessional is?" An annoyed Heather asked.
A now annoyed Chris pointed towards a part of the building. "In Visitation. Just pick up the phone on the side of the partition glass and start talking."
"The attitude was not needed."
After the explanations, everyone was led to the cafeteria to get some food. A few people didn't really want to eat Chef's food. They also didn't have a choice. Well they did but starving, no matter how much of a good idea it is, was not a winning strategy. Especially since they didn't know if they had a physical challenge coming up.
The cafeteria was a little decrepit looking with paint peeling off the walls, lots of graffiti, and holes in the roof. There were chipped tables as well. Whoever had done the cleaning this place really did a half decent job on it.
"This is nothing, I used to eat this crud in juvie." Duncan says as he approaches Chef, who was serving poor looking food. The meal basically consisted of four items being a hard boiled egg, one badly burnt toast, a carton of milk, and an orange. A little bit better than the food the old contestants had eaten on the show in past seasons but nowhere near perfect.
"I'm glad you think that Duncan." Chris said, walking up to him. "Because you get no lunch."
"No lunch? Why only me?" Duncan asked.
"Good question, it's not only you. Your whole team doesn't get lunch."
"Excuse me what? Whatever grudge you have against the delinquent boy has nothing to do with me." Heather snobbishly said.
The rest of the team agreed. Chris was just smiling his "Actually it does. Here's my personal favorite addition to this season." Chris took a remote out of his pocket and pressed one of the buttons.
A monitor came down in the middle of the room. On the screen was text that said 'Secret Challenges!'
"Oh God, this is something that's going to get convoluted very fast isn't it?" Noah said.
"Shut it Noah! Anyway, Secret Challenges are a new addition to the season as well." The host walked towards some of the 'prisoners'. "They are challenges that will not be mentioned or have the rules explained by me."
"Seems unfair to me." Leshawna said with a look of boredom on her face.
"What's unfair? It's a secret challenge that none of you know about." Chris gave an annoyed look at the girl. "Back to what I was saying, these challenges are not serious and only have a low reward/punishment for the end result."
"That's interesting and all but… what was the secret challenge that Hunter's team lost?" Owen asked.
"Be the first team to have one of your members at the prison first."
The DRI team members looked like they were about to cause a commotion until Chris started talking again.
"I never said you guys lost."
It was then that Katie and Sadie perked up remembering the first person they saw when they arrived together at the prison.
"Violet was here first." They both exclaimed at the same time.
Upon hearing her name, the quiet girl looked up and noticed that everyone was staring at her which caused to nervously glare at everyone with a look that read 'Why are you guys staring at me?' . Heather, surprisingly, explained the matter to Violet. Once the girl understood everything, she was proudly beaming to herself.
"I have never seen anyone quietly be smug so loudly before." Gwen stated.
"You guys get to eat with me at the all you can eat buffet crew table." Chris told the team to which they got excited. Duncan and Courtney kissed each other, Leshawna and Harold high fived each other, Hunter smiled to himself, Cake cheered loudly, and V was now smugly smiling to herself.
"Wait a minute." Hunter said calmly. Everyone calmed down for a moment to listen to their leader. "If we had won, then by default there's a loser team as well."
"Correctomundo dude. The last person to arrive at the prison was Lindsay." Chris pointed towards The Dumb Princess. Said girl was busy smooching on Tyler, not paying attention to anything.
Gwen rolled her eyes but she wasn't going to say anything since it was a secret challenge. Considering that it could've been her own self that was last to arrive on her team and she would have to argue that it wasn't her fault. Also she was probably still in hot water with most of her team.
"So what do we eat since we lost?" Justin asked all suave like. It didn't seem like he was taking this seriously. Maybe because he thought he could woo one of the staff members to get him some better food. Or the quiet girl. To Justin it seemed like she didn't have any self confidence with the way she was presenting herself. A perfect target for him.
"Good question. Nothing from the cafeteria." The host said.
Before the JN team could protest, Chris told the team that they were allowed to eat any of the snacks they brought with them. Gwen was still angry. Why did have to add a stupid bullshit to this season? If she had any snacks she wouldn't care but she didn't see any point in bringing them if Chef was just going to serve them.
After everyone got their food and Hunter's team left with Chris to go eat in private, the contestants started to talk amongst themselves. The way that the tables were designed seemed like they went with a high-school setup. Four rows going horizontal from the front entrance with three of the teams having a rectangular table to themselves.
Over at Gwen's table, Silver had a bunch of fruit bars in her bag so that's what the team was eating. The only thing they could ask Chef for was water. Nobody was talking at their table. Justin decided to break the silence.
"So Gwen, any boys here going to throw challenges for you?" Justin said in a smug like tone.
"Geez, Cody probably will but other than him..." Gwen rolled her eyes at Justin, knowing what he was trying to do.
"Sarcastic as always I see."
"Annoying as always I see."
Beth decided to interrupt the almost verbal fighting. "Guys stop. We haven't even officially started competing yet."
"Yeah Beth's right. Just because Gwen cheated last season doesn't mean she won't do it again." Lindsay tried to defuse the situation as well but in a Lindsay only way she made it worse. Her best friend put a hand to her shoulder. "That's not at all what I was trying to say."
Justin looked over at Silver, Hazel, and Michael who were not engaging in the conversation. Not that it had anything to do with them but he did notice that they were quiet. Judging by who looked like a good throw away elimination, Michael looked like a pushover. Justin was sure that he could convince some people on his team to vote the quiet kid out. Plus, with him gone, Justin would be the only guy on a team with all girls.
"Is there something on my face?" Silver asked. Justin thought he heard a bit of emotion in her voice. Maybe not, her face was still slack.
"The only thing you have on your face is my reflection in your eyes."
Silver blinked. Justin assumed that she couldn't believe that a hunk like him was complimenting her. It was a fact that Justin was the hottest guy on the show. In some ways, she was cute with her long silver hair, baby blue eyes, and a decent size chest. He would probably use her to get to the final two.
"Ew. Gross." Silver said, still in a monotonous voice. Justin didn't react at all to what she said. He did hear her. He just wanted to ignore her. So, that's what he did.
"Don't ignore me. You have average beauty at best." The girl continued while munching on her bar.
"Ouch, Justin. Your mind control hotness doesn't work huh? Lost your charm?" Gwen chimed in.
Just then, Hazel went over to Justin (Who was trying not to freak out) and gave his back a big hard smack. The poor guy winced in pain, trying to show any more emotion than he already was.
"I'll...be back." The former eye candy said.
Confessional Entry- Justin
Justin was trying to figure out if he should talk directly to the camera or pick up the phone.
"So I'm just going to start speaking now."
"One thing I want to say is OW!" Justin let out a yowl.
"That girl is heavy handed, I'm pretty sure she left a welt on my back." Justin tried to look over his shoulder to see if any bruise was forming on his back. Facing his back towards the camera allowed for the audience to see a giant handprint forming.
Turning back around to face the camera, Justin had a look of anger on his face.
"Who does that weird person think she is? I have AVERAGE beauty? She can barely even smile!" Justin angrily shouted. "The only reason I was even trying to woo her is for an alliance."
Back at the cafeteria, Owen was chowing down on seconds, fourths, and sixths but instead of regular eating he was stress eating. This season alone was already stressful enough but to have so many rules and ways to lose, he was bound to get eliminated early. Even worse, getting merged with someone dangerous.
"Owen!" His team leader yelled at him which caused him to scream and fall to the ground. Forget about the rules, Eva was more likely to stress him out. She was mean, stronger than everyone on the whole show (Besides from Chef), and she had anger issues. Not a great combination for a leader.
"Get your fat ass up! We don't have time for games!" Eva swore at him. It really wasn't a big deal. Losing two seasons of this show would be enough to drop all politeness. They were all teenagers so nobody could stop them.
"Alright Eva, don't go overboard since your leader." Noah, who was next to Owen, said.
"Oh? Poindexter is speaking up against someone who could break him?"
"Sorry ma'am but I think you overdid your testosterone shake this morning." Noah deadpanned at her. He wasn't trying to start a fight against some who can in fact break him but at the end of the day he wasn't going to let her bully the whole team.
"You really one to be the first one eliminated?" Eva narrowed her eyes at the Indian boy.
"I'm trying to save you from making yourself an enemy again." Noah raised his voice just a little.
"As much as I would like to disagree with Noah, he is right." Geoff said while eating the burnt slice of toast.
"Don't know why you would want to disagree with me."
Eva thought to herself. Ideally, going hardcore would actually help the team. If it did with her workouts, then she can assume it would work on them too. But she didn't want to scare her team into voting her off so early if they ever got the chance.
"Well don't bust a gear thinking too hard." Noah rested elbow on the table, holding his face up in the process.
"Dude, table manners." Elle said to him. He ignored her.
"Alright, fine! I will be less intense than usual." Eve grumbled.
The rest of the team were surprised that Eva actually agreed to something that was suggested by Noah. Despite them being in an alliance with Izzy on Island the two were complete opposites of each other.
Cody, who was watching this all go down, cleared his throat. Since Eva was possibly going to be on her best behavior, they needed to make a pact not to intentionally lose any games just to vote someone out. The geek voiced his concerns.
"Cody does bring up a good point but I don't think we have to worry about that for now." Trent said.
"Yeah, we don't have Heather or Courtney on our team." Owen said as he went back to stuffing his face.
"Well this does bring up a good point." Elle said. "We shouldn't target each other. No matter how angry we are at each other."
"Then how are we supposed to vote for someone?" Trent asked.
"Simple. We base our judgment on performance." Elle responded in a cheerful way.
"So if you were to do horrible in any challenge that all of us do exceptionally well on?" Noah asked.
"You can just vote me off and I would have no harsh feelings."
The whole team didn't like that idea. Especially since that would mean if someone was having an off day and failed a challenge, they would get voted off. Noah felt like their team was probably not going to make it.
"Might as well try Elle's idea. Depending on what today's challenge is, I'd say we'll see how it goes later on." Noah said as he went to find his room. He was done eating and already decided to bunk with Owen.
This was only the first episode and already it seemed like it was going to be a tiresome season.
