AnonBrowser: I'm glad you're enjoying the fic so far, and yes that was a good play on Scott's part. I'm glad you found one of my jokes funny, nice predictions too.
Picochu: Yes, Dawn was kinda rude, I honestly don't know what to do with her currently, but I have plans later in for her. Mike's DID is surprising to be revealed early, but for being his main character trait throughout canon ROTI, it should be revealed for his development.

I don't own anything related to Total Drama, but Fresh TV does.
"Last time, on Total Drama Action." Chris began, trumpets playing in the background. "He was a boy, she was a girl, and last week on Total Drama Action, a shocking redistribution made a rivalry flare up!" The scene flashed to Brick and Jo picking their teams. "Our villain made a fatal error by not picking Lightning, and giving the other team an advantage." The flashback then transformed into Staci and Scott talking, and then the challenge. "Scott convinced Staci that she was the best, and while Vito's acting out tears in our eyes, Staci's, well, not so much." The scene cut to Chef escorting Staci to the Lame-o-sine. "It only made sense that Staci got the boot." The flashbacks switched between the others rapidly. "Will Jo ever become nice? Will Anne Maria stop clogging our lungs with hair spray? Find out here on:
Total!
Drama!
Action!"
(Cue intro)
After the intro, the camera faded into the craft services tent, where Chef was serving the same gruel he did in season one. He plopped some of it on Sam's plate, and he took a bite out of it, only for his eyes to bulge. "Ugh! Now I know why gruel rhymes with cruel." The gamer stated, and he looked in front to show Chef covered in his gruel, with veins popping out of his head. "Oh, sorry man." Chef punched the gamer in the face, causing his teeth to fall out.
XXX
Scott laughed in the confessional. "Ha! Wimp, I grew up on a farm, I got the horns multiple times, learn to take a hit soft serve."
XXX
Anne Maria was spraying her hairspray, and Dakota was coughing from it. "Oh, sorry blonde, on the upside, now your lungs are waterproof."
"Gee, thanks." Was all Dakota said.
Meanwhile, Brick and Jo were shoving food in their face rapidly, looking at death glares at each other. Eventually, Brick shoves a spoon in his mouth, causing him to choke. "Easy Jarhead, don't wet your panties!" Jo punched him in the back of his neck, making him spit out his spoon.
"I like waffles too." The spoon from earlier hit Mike in the head, making him yelp. "Ow!"
Mike gasped, turning into Chester. "Darn kids! Back in my day, we ate with our hands like decent folk!"
Zoey laughed. "You're hilarious Chester. Unless you're serious, sorry if I misunderstood you."
XXX
"Now that I know that Mike isn't playing some character, we can actually talk." Zoey twirled her hair a little. "Well, at least if they stop coming out."
XXX
Mike gasped back, and Jo spoke up. "Lose the old man persona, he offends my sense of victory." She leaned towards Mike. "But that Russian gymnast Svetlanna, how does such strength and precision get summoned?
Mike put a finger to his chin. "Well, Uh, mentioning or showing off athletic talent usually works."
"There's gotta be some protein in here somewhere." Lighting said from off screen. He put a blob of gruel in his mouth, and started choking.
"I'll save you!" Dawn ran next to Lighting, and got him to stop choking by helping him cough stuff up.
"Few, thanks creepy girl." The jock thanked.
Dawn raised an eyebrow. "Hmm? For what?" She put the cockroach Lighting coughed up in her hand and pet it. "You're safe with me little one." The cockroach purred like a cat.
A whistle was blown, and Chris stepped in the tent. "Hang onto your coconuts players! We're going back to the beach!"
"Aw yeah baby!" Anne Maria yelled.
"Ever see one of those 1950's surfer movies where the kids get up to a big bonfire twist a thon and the bully kicks the nerd's sand castle over?" Chris explained. Jo raised an eyebrow in confusion, Dakota shook her head negatively, and Zoey smiled in a sense of nostalgia. "Well, get ready to recreate one, Junior! Followed by a tiebreaker if necessary, go grab your swimsuits."
/
The scene moved to a storage shed, where a gust of icy wind was blowing through, as the camera panned down to the eleven teens shivering in the wind, all wearing their swimsuits. "D-d-d-does it r-really have to be so c-c-c-cold in here? My eyeshadow is going to be ruined!" Dakota yelled.
Sam walked up next to her. "Aw come on, it can't be that ba- GREAT SUNS OF ORIAN!" As Sam spoke, Dakota took off her sunglasses to reveal ice shards under her eyes.
"As some of you can see, we're actually in the shooting studio." Chris explained, the camera panned out to reveal exactly what he said, but there was a surfboard over a pool, and ice shards were forming under a railing.
"And the AC is cranked because?" Scott asked, shivering just like the others.
XXX
Scott was in the confessional, arms crossed. "Back on the farm, the AC was always broken, so I'm not used to cold like this.
XXX
"The network told my agents that sweaty wasn't a good look for me." The host explained. "Your first challenge is to hang ten this deck into the big blue without swallowing tail in the soup."
"Wait, what are we supposed to do?" Zoey asked, Brick leaned next to her.
"I think he means that whoever stays on the board the longest wins." The soldier explained.
"Exactamundo army dude, now, who's going first?" Chris asked. Another gust of wind blew by, and a cricket chirped, only to be frozen by the wind. "The team that wins will get a half hour head start on the next challenge, and given tonight's reward, you should be fighting harder than Lighting's abs over who gets first shot."
Nobody was willing to step up though, until Dakota tried to get out some sunscreen, making it shoot out and hit Mike in the butt. "Ow! Hey! What was that for?"
"We have a volunteer!" Chris shouted, causing Mike to look at him with wide eyes.
/
The scene cut to Mike about to start surfing. "Alright Svetlana, let's see if we can do this."
Chris climbed up next to the tall guy. "Now, please welcome some season one fan favorites, the sharks!" As he finished, a giant shark jumped up out of the water, making Mike scream louder than somebody usually should.
XXX
"If you couldn't tell, I'm a huge scaredy cat." Mike chuckled awkwardly.
XXX
Mike was hanging onto a railing, and the shark jumped up at him, almost eating him. "Ok ok, I'm done."
"Really muti man? You're already done?" Jo asked, an annoyed tone in her voice.
Sam was standing next to Jo, and decided to speak up. "You know, underdogs have a lot in them. Just because somebody doesn't want to do a challenge doesn't mean they're bad teammates."
Mike pointed down below him. "Hey sharks look, bacon and fakon!"
Lightning was the one eating the food. "What? Protein is still protein you know?" The sharks jumped out of the water and begged for the treat.
Mike dropped off of the beam, and missed the water, landing on his back on the diving board. "Oooo, way to land the dismount though." Chris taunted.
Zoey gasped. "Mike!" She screamed, running next to him. "Mike, are you alright?"
Mike smiles in a goofy way. "Yeah, never better." He fell back on his head and groaned, Chef picked him up and took him to the infirmary.
"Next!" Chris shouted.
"Um, I guess I'll do it, for Mike I guess." Zoey offers.
/
Zoey jumped on the surfboard, having beach music playing in the background. "Woah!" She yelled, the surfboard was shaking a lot quicker now. Chris changed the green screen behind her to a farm with a tornado in the back, and Chef plugged in a fan, making more gusts of wind blow. Zoey screamed again, only to be tossed onto the screen.
/
Now, B was on the board, and he had a determined smirk on his face. However, a shark quickly came out and ate his trunks, causing him to cover his privates, and run away. "The body's a beautiful thing! You don't need a suit!" Chef shouted as B ran out of the room.
/
It was Jo's turn, and she was on the surfboard with perfect balance. "Watch and learn losers." Was all she said. Suddenly, the board snapped in half, causing her to fall in the water. "What? Are you kidding me!" The sharks tried to swim at the tomboy, but she punched them both in the nose, causing them to jump out crying.
A whistle was heard. "Break time! Union rules." Chris declared.
"Sha-finally!" Lightning yelled. "I've been starving forever!"
"Not you shark bait." Chris said.
/
The sharks were now sipping some tea, and dipping their fins in water. The camera panned to the board, and Dawn was standing there. "Well, if they're happy, I'm happy." She casually balances on the board, when Chris loaded a gun with some seagulls.
"I love this game!" He yelled, and started shooting the seagulls at Dawn.
"What! Why do you have to use those poor innocent animals like that?" Dawn screamed, dozens of seagulls were shot at once, and one of them hit her, throwing her off quickly.
/
The last Grip, Sam, was climbing the board, he looked nervous. "Oh well, it's just like Water Exploration Three, it can't be that bad." He looked down at the ground. "Hey Dakota! Check this out!" Dakota looked at him, lowering her sunglasses.
The sharks and Chris also looked at him. "Aww, what a cute couple, almost makes me believe in the goodness in the human race. Keyword, almost." Chris launched the canon, making seagulls fly towards him.
"Sam!"
XXX
Dakota was in the confessional, texting on her phone. "I wanted to say that he was gonna fail, instead I said:"
XXX
"Sam! You look like a doofus!" The bonde yelled.
"Wait, what?" The gamer yelled, but he was knocked into the water before he could get a response.
/
"Finally! It's time for the Gaffer's turn, starting with Scott." Scott smirked. "Try not to get eaten by the sharks."
"Wait! They're back?!?" Chris shot seagulls at the dirt boy, and he fell quickly, swimming away from the sharks rapidly.
XXX
"Ok, maybe I have a little bit of fear of sharks, but can you blame me?" Scott questioned. "They're this huge fish, and they've got huge teeth! Back on the farm, there isn't any fish, they're totally stranger to me!"
XXX
Lighting quickly jumped on the surfboard. "Alright! Watch and learn from the Lighting!" Chris shot the seagulls rapidly, and Lighting dodged all of them, even punching one. Running out of seagulls, Chris looked behind him and through a chair and light at him, Lighting dodged.
Zoey walked next to Chris. "Ow, my head is still in pain." Chris smirked at the girl.
"Hey! Sha-watch it!" Lighting dodged Zoey being thrown in his direction.
Chris smiled proudly. "With that, Lighting secured victory for the Screaming Gaffers!" The Gaffers cheered.
"Hey! No fair, they had less people compete!" Jo yelled.
"Yeah, but they managed to stay on the longest. Now, if you like things being fair, come back with us, after the break!"
(Cue add break)
The scene faded back in. "Welcome back to Total Drama Action! Where the contracts said the contestants should change out of their bathing suits. Hope you kiddies like swimming in your jeans."
Anne Maria rolled her eyes. "Yeah, because we're definitely going to the beach for real this time." The jersey girl said doubtfully. "The bus is just late."
Right then, the bus pulled up with a halt. "You were saying?"
XXX
Sam leaned over in the confessional. "Chris told us the truth? What's next, respecting us?"
XXX
The scene cut to a surprisingly actual beach this time. "Yes viewers, you're right. We're back here, at
Total!
Drama!
Island!"
Jo scoffed. "Nice job with the nostalgia pandering, you'll make lots of money from this."
Chris took a piece of paper out of his pocket, crumpled it, and tossed it behind him. "Ok, we'll skip the flashback montage. Alright, Gaffers, you get a thirty minute head start on the sand castle prop building contest!" Chris pointed at the two sandboxes by the two teams. "It will be judged by our sand castle king himself, Chef!" Chef put on a fake sandcastle on his head. "Make like propmasters guys, and give me something awesome! I don't want the tiebreaker to go down, I don't really think legal's quite approved it yet."The camera panned down, where a dummy was standing under a rock. The rock fell down, crushing the dummy, and then a car horn was heard, and a car crashed into the wreckage.
/
The scene moved to the Gaffers starting to build the castle, and Brick was currently leading. "Scott, more sand in that bucket! Lighting, pack it further!"
Lighting glared. "Who made you the Sha-leader?"
"I took leading skills as a kid, and I'm currently in boot camp, I'm a great team leader."
"And how is this supposed to Sha-help?"
Brick held his hands out, and presented a structure that looked like a sand palace more than anything. "Ah, mission accomplished."
Just then, Chef blew a horn. "Thank you Chef. Screaming Gaffers, your advantage is up. Jo, dude, get building."
XXX
Jo facepalmed and sighed. "Really Mclame? I'm not a guy, I'm a girl."
XXX
Sam held up some buckets. "Water! Time to get this mini game started!"
"And I'll get the sand!" Zoey suggested.
Mike spoke up. "Hey Sam! Isn't the water that way?" He pointed in a different direction, and Sam ran that way.
"Cut it out losers!" Jo commanded.
XXX
"As team leader, there is gonna be some weak links on the team." Jo started. "My job is to find that weak link, and manipulate it into doing whatever I want." She bent a spray can, and it sprayed in her face. "Gah! Son of a-"
XXX
B was about to say something, but was cut off by Dawn. "B says we should work on the presentation, while he makes something to help us out."
Zoey smiles. "That's great! We'll get started right away!"
/
Brick stepped back and smiled at the Gaffer's creation. "I call it, casa Gaffa." The others looked proudly at their creation.
/
The shot cut to B making a robot of some kind. "Uhh, B, are you gonna be done soon?" Sam asked. B gave him the thumbs up, and showed off his invention. It started gathering up sand, and packing it into buckets. "Woah! B, change your name to A plus." Sam complemented.
XXX
B coughed into his hand and shot finger guns at the camera.
XXX
The castle was already built when we got back, and the Grips were smiling at it proudly. Over on the other side, the Gaffers were pondering at the competition. "Wow, these guys are crafty huh?" Brick commented.
Scott scratches his chin. "Yes, perhaps a sabotage is in order." Brick put a hand on Scott's lips.
"No! This game is all about playing fair, we will just have to accept our loss." Brick explained, Scott looked at him weirdly.
Chef looked between the two props and seemed to make his decision. He pointed at the Grip's area. "We have our winner! The artificially built Grips castle!" The Grips all cheered. "Which means we need a new tiebreaker." Chris now looked annoyed. "I was hoping to have the evening off. Go look for some wood for a bonfire of a tiebreaker."
/
The scene was in the woods of wawanakwa. Brick and Jo were jogging at a neutral pace and kept speeding up. A squirrel was watching with excitement, and eating popcorn. Eventually, Brick and Jo ran into each other, and the squirrel ran away. "I was looking around on a 5k run for wood, you?" Jo started
"8k." Brick replied.
"I mean I did a 5k brief search on a full sprint." Jo challenged.
Brick pointed a finger at his competition. "I did my search uphill." He commented.
"Yeah, uphill while running on my hands." Jo lied.
"I did mine wearing earplugs." Brick said.
"Why earplugs?" Jo asked.
"I dunno!" Brick said.
Jo rolled her eyes. "Our teams should be lucky to have us. There would be no competition if we were on the same team."
XXX
"My team is lucky to have me." Jo confessed. "I was only saying that to be nice, if he underestimates us, he'll lose. And when that time comes" Jo slammed her fist on the desk and cut herself with a brush. "Ow! Again? Why you little-"
XXX
Chris called from the speaker. "Attention campers, get over here for a dramatic dance off!"
/
Chris clapped his hands, and the torches lit up, as it was now nighttime. "Yo! Why would ya make us get firewood?" Anne Maria asked.
"I needed some alone time." Chris answered. "You think these hands manicure themselves?" Chris asked, showing his fingers to Anne Maria.
"Alright, I gotta admit, those do look nice." The jersey girl complemented.
"Thank you, now this brings us to the tie breaking challenge! A waterski twist mashed potato dance challenge." Chris performed multiple moves as he spoke, causing the contestants to look at him weirdly. "Teams, choose your best dancer for battle."
Zoey stepped up. "Umm, could I go? I have a few dance moves." Zoey shyly suggested. B gave her the thumbs up, and Dawn nodded her head.
"It's best for you to come out of your comfort zone, go ahead." Dawn said. Zoey smiled.
Anne Maria spoke first for the Gaffers. "I think Lightning should do it, dude's hot." She suggested.
"Thanks sexy girl." Lightning thanked. "Lightning has got some moves, you'll see." The jock bragged.
"Sure, go for it." Scott pushes.
/
Chris put on some beach music, and Zoey and Lightning looked at each other. "Prepare to lose to the Lightning!" Lightning threatened.
"Ok." Zoey said awkwardly.
They stepped back, and started dancing. Zoey stepped back in shock at Lightning's moves. The Gaffers widened their eyes at the sight, and Anne Maria danced along.
XXX
"What? I gotta admit, I'm a dancer." Anne Maria confesses. "Most of the time though, I'm more of a singer girl." Anne Maria stepped up, and cleared her throat, and sang at the top of her lungs, shattering the camera.
XXX
Zoey did her best to slowly dance at a comfortable pace. "Go Zoey!" Mike cheered. Zoey blushed, but she tripped on a rock.
"Woah!" The music stopped as Zoey yelped.
"Oh my gosh! Zoey!" Mike ran over to her.
"Get up! You don't have any more lives!" Sam yelled.
Mike ran up to Zoey, and picked her up bridal style. "Zoey, are you ok?"
"Uhh, yeah, I think I'm ok." She blushed.
XXX
"Zoey is one of the first people who actually accepts me for who I am." Mike started. "I think about her almost all the time and when I do I smile so much my cheeks hurt." Mike stopped in his tracks. "Zoey is a really great friend."
XXX
Chris walked over to the two. "Nice dancing, unfortunately, it sucks. The Gaffers win the challenge!" Zoey went pale, and the Gaffers cheered at their newfound victory.
XXX
"Oh no no no no no!" Zoey panicked. "I'm so going home tonight."
XXX
"Now, Grips, you will NOT be eliminating someone." The Grips looked confused at Chris. "Yeah, due to the fact that there is less competitors, there will be challenges where nobody goes home, and they will feature some kind of reward. Tonight's reward will be a dance party, along with a beach bbq!" Scott, Lightning, and Brick salivated at the sight of burgers being lit up, while Dakota and Anne Maria were disgusted by the grease.
/
The scene cut to the five Gaffers dancing, and Sam walked up to Dakota, who was the only one not dancing, and just typing on her phone. "So, Dakota." Sam started, Dakota looking at her. "How do you like the prize? I wish I could've shown you my sweet moves. I've got a huge high score on Grove Grove Revolution."
Dakota looked up from her phone. "Oh really? Why don't you show me."
Sam walked up to the circle, closed his eyes, and started doing an awkward dance. He tripped on his own foot, and embarrassed himself. "Oh, oops, that was a mistake."
Dakota giggles at the gamer's antics.
XXX
"Sam is really sweet, and funny too. No guy has treated me so kindly before, they only want me for my money and looks."
XXX
The scene moved back to Chris in the recording room. "Ahh, love is a beautiful thing. It's sweet, isn't it?"
Dakota spoke from the confessional room. "Uhh, love? That's completely false."
Chris pushes a button, and Dakota was silenced. "Will my interns ever disable that? Will the Gaffers let me have some of that bbq? Find out on the next exciting episode of:
Total!
Drama!
Action!"
(Cue credits)

XXX
"The hawiian themed bbq was ok." Scott commented. "Personally, I'm more of a wheat and milk kinda guy myself. Ya know, pappy always fed us milk straight from the cow. Ahh, good times." Scott remembered.
XXX
Remaining contestants:
Killer Grips: Jo, Mike, Zoey, B, Dawn, Sam.
Screaming Gaffers: Brick, Anne Maria, Lightning, Dakota, Scott.
Elimination order:
Cameron, Staci.
Author's Note:
Well, that's the first reward challenge done, and I hope it wasn't to boring as one. I debated actually eliminating somebody here, and having the contestants not know if somebody would go home or not, but I figured that would be to confusing to work with, and pointless too. Somebody will be leaving the show next chapter, and then immediately get screen time again because the aftermath episode is coming soon.
