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.

11. Duncan: Part 2

"Alright, since we discussed one ex already, we're going to save Gwen for last, as we usually have romantic partners discussed last." The visible sigh of relief was apparent from Duncan, and Josh knew that he would have a joy talking about the next person, "Harold is up. Tell me about your feelings about him?"

He let out a large sigh with the mention of that, "Wow... what a flashback he brings. Anyways, I always found him to be an annoying, smug, entitled know-it-all. I remember introducing myself, and he couldn't even pretend to be interested, and thought he was better than me. Haroldorkis seemed like someone who could be easily bothered, and took everything so seriously, so I started nudging him."

"That's... not how I remember it. I remember him smiling at you during the first episode, and you put your fist in his face. Then in the second challenge, you put his hand in water while he was sleeping, making him pee in his sleep. In the next episode, you drew a fake mustache on his face. You started it, and you put a mustache on him because you knew that there were others who are tougher than you, that you would never test or try. To be honest, that's some weak bitch shit," Josh lectured, not being impressed with the narrative that he was being sold.

Duncan couldn't help but laugh, "I FORGOT about the mustache. Anyways, Harold could dish out what he was given, so I wasn't picking on someone who was defenseless. He enjoyed poking me with a stick at Dodgeball WAY TOO MUCH, though I always gave him his props when he would pull out a VERY random victory. I'm not that petty. He would often joke with his nerdling friends from the Gophers about me not amounting to anything, and going back to being someone's bottom bitch. A lot of comments like that were made. I remember joining Harold and Sadie during a canoe to Boney Island, and we did get into it VERY badly, while Sadie just laughed at all of the stuff he said. He knows how to act weak and innocent on camera, but figured that they would be focusing on Bridgette/Geoff/DJ/Courtney for the episode, which he was correct on."

Josh had a puzzled look on his face, "So Harold read the FUCK out of you, so you responded by having DJ and Geoff jump in on your bullying tactics. Another WEAK BITCH move."

"Geoff and DJ joined in ALL ON THEIR OWN, and it was because he was leaving his SHIT everywhere. We wanted to teach Harold a lesson, and he eventually took the lesson. My issue was if he's pissed off at me, WHY vote out Courtney? You could have voted me out, which would have made more sense. After that, I KNEW he was a WEAK BITCH, and is a PUSSY ASS PUNK. If he thought "Island" was bad, "Action" was gonna be 100 times worse. What I find funny is that during the beach episode, he was talking shit about his future bandmate Trent RIGHT ALONG with me, but people forget about that. The only main difference this time is that Leshawna was on my ass, which gave him some extra liquid courage. When we won, or had to work together to get something done, we got along. When he would insult my intelligence, touched my stuff (like in the horror challenge), incompetent (too many to list), annoying (every day, but especially the superhero challenge). I was starting to respect him in the Samurai challenge, but that changed after he filled my bed with rocks, and KILLED SCRUFFY. From the little interaction we had in "World Tour", he annoyed the shit about of me, and I saw his attempts at getting cameratime from the last aftermath to the finale to be cringeworthy, riding hard for Cody, who wouldn't do the same for him."

"It's been mentioned that the two of you went at it during Bridgette and Geoff's wedding last year. What was that about?"

Duncan rolled his eyes from the memory, "So the last time I saw him was during the yacht, where he was LIVING for Geoff, DJ, and I's issues, and claiming it's revenge for what we did to the others. He encouraged Leshawna to meddle in my relationship with Gwen, and I had to have a few words with him. He tweeted about my prison sentence, and mocked me for it. I was shocked that Geoff invited him in the first place, and I told Harold that he's still a lame bitch after all these years. Harold tried act tough, and started shoving me around. I was trying not to act a fool for Geoff's sake, but they took advantage of that, and Bridgette kicked me out."

Josh could not help but laugh, "I am glad that the hatred is still fresh today. Anyways, I do remember you flirting with the "Queen of Mean" Heather. What do you think of her now, and overall, giving your history?"

"Eh... I thought she was hot for the first few episodes, and I went to shoot my shot. It didn't go anywhere, and she showed her bitch side, but it wasn't as endearing as Princess... I mean Courtney's was. I didn't speak to her much until after Courtney was eliminated, where she went up to me, and bragged/gloated about it, so I thought that it was her who booted Courtney. After the merge, I noticed that she was pissing off more and more people, and after what happened to Lindsay, I knew that aligning with her just made sense. The precursor to this was getting Heather to boot Bridgette, since I wasn't sure that Geoff would do it, and it doesn't hurt to have an extra vote. Nothing was solidified until the final 7, and she also did help me boot Geoff in the final 6, since I knew Gwen and Leshawna wouldn't have. She tried to flirt with me in the Final 4, and stole my map to get me booted, since I guess she had no use for me. Spending time with her on the Gaffers was pretty fun though, and I think she was warming up to me... deep, deep, deep, deep down. We both hated LeHarold more than we hated one another more, but then she started whining about her bald head, and she really overstayed her welcome by the time of her departure. I didn't appreciate her making fun of Court, Gwen, and I on the internet."

He pretended to sigh, "Awwww... you and Heather almost became friends "Action", but she spilled the truth about that annoying ass threesome before it came to be. She did start to flirt with you, and I thought you would have thrown yourself at her when she did, since you were attracted to her before EITHER of your girlfriends."

Uninterest was all over his expression and voice, "It was pathetic, and I lost all attraction there ever was for her LONG before "World Tour". By that point, it was obvious that her and AleCucaraccha had some sort of... entanglement, and were using Courtney and I to piss one another off. It was even more desperate since I was in a relationship, and she went to the most desperate measures possible. She was just really lame, and it wasn't shocking that once they hooked up, I was invisible to her. They started talking at the same time, and it was really uncomfortable being in an alliance with them at that point. I barely spoke to her during "All-Stars", but she was irrelevant in that season as well. Can we move on now?"

"Fine. What do you think of Izzy, Justin, Katie, and Sadie? Those tend to be the names that people have the least opinions on so far?"

"Izzy... we were never on the same team during the first 2 seasons, and she was booted before I came back on her last season. She never lasted long, but from what I remember of her, she's BATSHIT CRAZY. Sometimes it was funny, like when she shot Heather with a tranquilizer, or telling a horror story that even I find to be badass, but sometimes it was too much. I remember visiting Owen a few times in between seasons to smoke, and Izzy was always there. She shared a spliff with the both of us, and it was fun. Justin and I SHOCKINGLY got along for most of "Action", and he's pretty cool when he's not obsessing with himself. I knew that he had a lot to prove after his "Island" performance, so seeing him kick ass was fun, and I was hoping that we could kick ass together. Things took a turn when he SUDDENLY started having feelings for Courtney, which blew up the guys alliance. While I prefer him over Alejandro, him siding with Harold, and ESPECIALLY Trent after "Action" ruined any sort of positive feelings I had for him. You don't fuck with the enemy. Katie and Sadie... they were annoying as hell, and Sadie managed to be MORE annoying without Katie because she was hanging out with Doris Harold... Thank goodness I don't recall many moments with them."

Josh giggled once he gave Duncan a picture of Leshawna, "Now it's time to talk about Mrs. Harold. I am assuming that you don't have positive thoughts on her now. I do remember the... VERY brief moment where you two got along in the final 6."

An obnoxious puff of air was let out from Duncan's mouth, "Yeah, where she told me that Courtney ratted me out about getting DJ a new bunny, promised not to tell anyone, and then attacked me a few minutes later."

"Well, you did call her fat, and you did it a few times in that episode."

"She had the NERVE to call herself "LITTLE Leshawna"; she's as delusional as Harold. I didn't think much of her, other than her being VERY large, and seemingly in charge. Once she got with Harold, I INSTANTLY thought that she was a weirdo, and that something isn't adding up. I know she got mad when I booted Bridgette, and let her opinions KNOWN on the matter, and she's lucky that the challenge Lindsay was booted wasn't a vote off, or she would have been next. We've thrown our shady banter at one another, especially as she clung onto Geoff as a last-ditch effort of an alliance, though she did this by calling me a "nice guy", and all of that mushy crap to bother me. We agreed that no one can be that tough all the time, which applied to the both of us. ALL of that went down the drain during the next season."

Josh took control of the conversation, "Well, you continued beating on her ex-boyfriend, and she's always protective of her loved ones. What did you expect? Despite that, she tried forming an alliance with you twice, but you mocked her about it. How did you feel about her tricking everyone to get the reward."

Duncan just shook his head, "It just showed how full of shit she is. She told a few people how she didn't want to be shown as the "ghetto girl", but she pulled moves like that, and continued trash talking everyone. At least I'm honest about it, but she pretended to be a mother bear to people. Leshawna needed to be called out from "Island", and I found it to be VERY shady with her voting Gwen off, which was the tipping pin for me. I was always going to get revenge on her, and LAUGHED MY ASS OFF that we kept her in the vault for a day. When I agreed to her alliance, I knew I was going to turn on her the first opportunity I got. Thankfully, I didn't deal with her in the next season, but dealing with her in real life due to dating Gwen was HELL."

"OOh, I completely forgot that you would have had to deal with that. What stories do you have?"

"EVERY time Leshawna would come over, she would INTENTIONALLY bring Harold, and even TRENT over to piss me off. She would ALWAYS bring Trent up in some sort of conversation, knowing that it would rile me up. It took me a while to realize this, but SHE was the one who got Trent and Gwen to be in regular conversation with one another, and planted a lot of seeds in Gwen's head. Leshawna played a HUGE part in the destruction of Gwen and I's relationship. I refused to even speak to her during the wedding."

Josh wanted to move on, while still laughing, "I could TOTALLY see Leshawna, with the help of Harold setting up Gwent back together, and they weren't even secretive about it? They truly have no shame. Anyways, what are your thoughts on the blonde bombshell Lindsay?"

Duncan was given her picture, and he had a weird expression on his face, "I didn't think much of her, outside of her boobs, ass, legs, and being a hot body or face. She really was insufferable to talk to, and all of her PAINFULLY girly interests drive me insane. I do remember her lecturing me about noogying a deer, and carving over a few trees. Honestly, her and Beth together are A LOT more annoying than Katie and Sadie together. All of their EEEEE and AAAHHHH, and their stupid arguments would make anyone want to shoot their guns, and it was worse because they lasted through most of the season. Lindsay's big feet were probably larger than that girl from the 2nd generation who turned into GOTANTAZOID."

"You mean Dakota? Lindsay's feet can't be that bad."

"They were, and ANY sort of attractiveness went out the window. It was fun seeing her try to strategize and whatnot, but it always failed. Going on that reward date with her was the worst date I've ever been on, even worse than the dinner date that caused Courtney and I to break up. Lindsay tried singing throughout the entire movie, and wanted to put MAKEUP on me. I laughed my ass off when she booted herself. Like, you really cannot make shit up. While she was in the next two seasons with me, I might have seen her for... 7 days maybe combined both seasons in where we were competing together. She's too dumb to live, honestly, and thank god I've never spoken to her since "Action". "

Josh brought out the next two pictures for Duncan to speak about, "So we're gonna move right along. What are your thoughts on Noah and Owen? You seemed to be pretty cool with the latter, and the former was too irrelevant for you to have much of an opinion on, until the spinoff made him relevant."

Duncan rolled his eyes when he took Noah's picture, and put it down soon after, "Actually, I do have a few awful interactions with him. If I remember correctly, he made some smartass comment, so I mentioned his mother, he mentioned my piercings, and I threatened to pierce it right then and there. He knew to leave me alone from then, and I was NOT shocked to see him be the first Gopher booted. During the special, he mocked Courtney ditching me after I busted my ankle, but I got the last laugh... as I pantsed him."

"What did you think about him being revealed as Chris' assistant, and what caused you to vote him out within hours of you returning in "World Tour"?"

All he did was let out a slight chuckle, "I KNEW that Noah was a pathetic famewhore deep down, and seeing him latch onto Chris in order to get a slot on the third season, after being a forgotten third boot on the first boot just showed how desperate he is. The desperation continued when I got back in the game, and Noah BALLED HIS EYES OUT about me not voting him out. What was funny is that an hour beforehand, he was CURSING ME AND THE PRODUCERS OUT about how I shouldn't be let back in, especially after he won the challenge, and being allowed to vote. I had him clean my shoes in order for him to let him THINK that he had my vote, and I cursed him out for his shitty mouth. I took in a lot of great pleasure booting him."

"And with Owen, we got along from the moment we talked, though it took some episodes for us to speak for the first time. Actually that's a lie. I insulted his weight after he mocked me during that stupid deer challenge. Once the merge happened, we got along very well, and I learned a lot about him. Outside of him being a thrilling party animal, he's actually very much a badass, and someone you can have real conversations with. After using... less than ideal methods to get him to align with me and the other guys, we were stuck together like glue. I generally didn't care about his gross and gluttonous actions, until it cost us, meaning ME the money."

"What did you think of Owen in "Action?" especially when he became a mole?" Josh asked, curious about what Duncan would think about it.

A confused look on his face was shown, "I don't... know. I mean, he was going through some money issues, and many people would have done the same if they were in his position. Even before he was booted in that season, he told me about the financial issues that they were having even before the show, but it got worse once his parents realized that he won, and they spent a lot more of their income. I... I felt bad for the dude. He was so... off when I came in at "World Tour", but it made sense, since Noah was just booted, and Alejandro hated him with a passion. He would tell me things, like Al's strategy to flirt and dump women, and then I put everything together. We bonded a lot during Sweden like we never had, and he was the only person who didn't give me strife during the triangle situation. His elimination hurt me a lot, though we did fall out afterwards."

Josh raised his eyebrows at the revelation, "Really? How did you two fall out? I never would have expected that to happen, since Owen doesn't really do anything to anyone."

"Alejandro and I blocked all of the other men by being on "All-Stars", stating that neither one of us would compete if the others were brought on. I did it to get back at people like Cody, Tyler, Harold, Trent, Justin, and the others who kept on picking at us. Owen was just collateral damage, but when I tried speaking to him about it, he wasn't hearing it. I got out of jail around the time of the spinoff, and Geoff invited me to one of his parties. Owen was there, and he told me to kiss his ass for siding with Al. It took him some... years, and a lot of convincing from Geoff to give me a chance. We're not best friends, but I would like to consider us to be friends."

"Interesting. We only have 3 people left from the first generation; Sierra, Trent, and Tyler. We are going to discuss Gwen last, so you can just focus on those three for now."

He was expressionless as he started explaining, "Sierra was a certified nutjob when I came back. She was not only obsessed with Cody, but OBSESSED with hating on Gwen, but she weirdly supported our relationship. Something tells me that it's because Courtney and I blew her off when she tried to interview us. She would always talk about how Gwen and I had feelings for one another since Season 1, but I was glad to be away from her, since I was tired of talking to a fan, and she didn't want to align with me in my boot episode. She seemed nicer, and in control in "All-Stars", until she wasn't. Sierra was always nice to me on the season, and when she was normal, it was easy to talk to her, especially about breaking up with Gwen, and since she hates Gwen, she did make me feel better. Sierra liked it when I was faux heroic or whatever, and made me very comfortable on that team, but distanced herself when I started to go back to your old ways."

Josh rolled his eyes, "You mean when you were pathetically trying to be a villain, and to ramble about being a badass, even when you never had to prove it when you were like that back in the day? I don't blame her at all. What about the last two?"

"Tyler was a hindrance to the Killer Bass from the beginning. For someone who's supposed to be a jock, he sucks at EVERYTHING, but because he looks like the typical jocks, he still gets everything handed to him anyways. He's also not smart; I mean, who fights for a hammer, when someone has it in their hand. I would mess with him a little bit, and when he completely flopped in the fear challenge, I had to rub it in. He made it clear to me that he didn't like me, and was mad that he was in a relationship, and I wasn't at the time. When the whole cheating thing happened on the plane, I knew that he would use this to get back at me, especially for the humiliation I caused him back on "Island". I threatened him that if he ever spilled, he would get it 100 times worse than in the first season. He then got punched, and had to watch as his BFF AL threw him under the wolves, thinking that I was getting booted. I reveled in that a lot. And Trent..."

The interview let out a HUGE laugh, "HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I knew that you and him had your... issues in "Action", but I never would have thought that you would have so much... hatred over him in the years since. I do remember seeing you two go back and forth on social media quite a bit."

He was handed Trent's picture, and the first thing he did was spit on it, "That's how I feel about Trent. I always felt like something was off about him, even in "Island". He was putting on an image, and was trying his best to come off as the coolest person possible, but there was this other side that made him look like a COMPLETE douche. I thought he was a poser, and was clearly using this show to boost his music career, but he didn't do anything to me so far, and we got along when the merge came around. Things took a turn in "Action", where he tried to interject in our conversation about movies, and I saw through him trying too hard. It validated a lot of my thoughts on him from the last season, but he actually proved it. He claimed I was a girl because I used hairspray, and I called him a girl for choosing her necklace over the eggs. He THEN called us punk wannabees, which was offensive, since I am not faking it, and she is also your girlfriend. Since he wanted to take cheap shots, I was going to prank and get him back."

"It seems like you started it with him. Trent was trying to bond with you two, but you used it to bash him. I also remember you claiming that his 9 obsession came from combining Trent+Gwen together, when you had no proof for that. It seemed like you were actively causing trouble between them."

Duncan shrugged his shoulders, "A part of me DID want to stir trouble, but I just made an assumption that ended up being wrong. Gwen needed to get away from that freak, I was asked my opinion on it, and I gave it. He was always trying toc over something up, but let it out. It seemed like he took responsibility for his part when the season came to an end, but once we got back into the real world, he played victim AGAIN. He painted a horrible narrative that made Gwen and I look bad, and he did it so people could tune into the Drama Brothers' music. I heard it, and tweeted what a crock of shit their music was. Trent decided to NOT ONLY go back-and-forth with me on social media, but he was the one who NOT ONLY threatened me in DMs, but reported me to the police about my... job. Thank goodness that the producers tossed his ass for good once he was dumped, but he also tried to act like he was over Gwen, and was happy for us being in a relationship, when everyone told me that was a crock of BS. When he was acting like a jerk in the group, I tweeted that he was always like this. He played a HUGE part in our breakup."

Josh was intrigued, but also skeptical of this, "How did Trent, who was not even speaking to Gwen like that, and has been dumped years before "All-Stars" ruin your relationship with her?"

"Whenever Gwen and I would go over to Leshawna's house, since they are friends, Trent ALWAYS ended up being there. Gwen was at first uncomfortable with it, but then she started to enjoy it. I know Trent and Leshawna are friendly enough, but him and Harold are VERY good friends. He probably told them to make him and Gwen connect together once again. One of the songs that was written by Trent, which was in his Drugged Out Brothers group was about an ex telling him that her current boyfriend is a horrible piece of shit, and that she misses him, and took him for granted. ALL of the lyrics were about specific situations that Gwen and I were in at the time. I went to the concert of his, and BEAT HIS ASS. Trent was trying to get with Gwen for the entire last year of our relationship, and when I was arrested, I was sent print-screenshots of the texts between the two of them, and they were flirting. I was also told that he sold some information to the feds to keep me in jail longer than necessary."

"I was also told that Trent sent Courtney some dick pics, and they were flirting before "World Tour". Did this play a part in your hatred of him as well?" Josh threw in there, watching Duncan grimace.

Being reminded of that memory caused him to form fists with both of his heads, "Yeah... thanks for the reminder. Courtney told me about that, and I spat at him behind the scenes of the TDA special. Trent also encouraged Geoff to bail on DJ and I during that drug ring mess, and convinced DJ to not visit me in jail. I know for a FACT that he has tried, and successfully blocked some of my opportunities after getting out of jail. There is no respect there, and the ONLY reason why I did not beat him up at the wedding was because Geoff didn't want any drama."

Josh had a huge grin on his face from Duncan's rant, "Perfect, and Trent really is a g, lmao. Anyways, it's time to move onto the second generation cast that you competed with on "All-Stars". What are your thoughts of Cameron?"

"I did not speak to Cameron much. All of the villains were annoyed with him, due to his whining. When I was moved onto the Heroic Hamsters, Cameron was shockingly nice to me. He did ask me some tips on the ladies, and I assumed he asked me due to Sierra, before things went crazy with them. During the merge, I saw that he tried to use Scott as bait, and I honestly found it to be impressive, so seeing him become more of a villain was cool. I did see him a few times once getting out of jail, since I would sometimes hang out with Zoey. He and I did get into it every time, since he felt the need to lecture ME about GWEN. It reminded me a lot about Courtney, and he was lucky that I started to mature, since I would have pummeled him if it happened pre-jail."

"I've been hearing consistently that he's a jerk. Do you think him and Gwen had anything romantic between them?"

Duncan pretended to vomit from the mention, "Absolutely not. I know for a fact that Gwen hooked up with Trent right after we finished that season, so Cameron and her never had anything."

Josh saw that it went nowhere, he he wanted to move on, "Alright, let's move onto Jo. What did you think of her during your short time with her?"

"So because I actually get along with Eva, and everyone compared them when the 4th season aired, I thought that I could get along with Jo, and we did in the first episode. Her nicknames were hilarious, and she was badass. Then... I noticed how bitter, and... off she was after the dust settled. I think that military guy not being on the season really put a number on her, which she made a few comments on. She was a lot more bossy, angry, and a general pain in the ass over the next two seasons, and what did it for me was when she outright ignored me, but tried to align with Gwen, due to her wanting mess with Alejandro and Heather. She also lost the challenge for us, so booting her was easy. It was clear that Jo couldn't hang with the big dogs."

"You mean Brick? That's... interesting. Definitely something I should note on when I get to the second cast. Anyways, what do you think of Lightning?"

The former criminal struggled to think of anything, and his face was slightly strained, "All I remember him doing was referring to himself in the third person, trying to have a dick measuring contest, and wanted us to get nude, so he could brag about how he's stronger, and more toned than everyone else. Lightning was annoying as hell, and I couldn't have been any happier when he was booted."

Josh did not know how he would react with the next name brought up, "So you revealed that you knew Mike before "Total Drama", due to the both of you being in prison. Describe your version of events with what happened."

"Well in my audition tape, you see me escaping juvie. What I was escaping from was Mal as he was referred to, and his group wanting to have a little... bottom bitch. I was dragged from the cafeteria to meet up with Mal and his crew. They told me that they wanted me and my pretty blue eyes, and tongue piercing to be their... bottom. I fought my ass off to get away from them, and that's when I escaped. "Total Drama" saved me in many ways. Mal was actually isolated during most of my time in Juvie, but he was let out a few days before I came out. Everyone always heard about him, but we were seeing him. When I saw him beat up Izzy, it drew back memories of how I saw him beat other people up in my last few days. He was ferocious. Mike was actually very welcoming and cool when I swapped teams, and said that it was good to be nice and cooperative. When everything happened, and I was in jail, Mike actually sent me a few letters, and apologized for everything. I was still mad, but he went to visit me, and we were able to clear things up. We've actually became friends, with the help of Zoey. They were one of the few who helped me out when I got out."

"Alright, we're gonna go through the last few names. What do you think about Sam and Scott?"

He had a quizzical look on his face, "I was only on a team with Sam for an episode, but I was very wary of him. Alejandro was ranting about him because he knows that Sam and Harold are friends, and Harold hated Al more than me. When the Heroes threw me that party, and after Sam got shut down for singing the "welcome" song, he pulled me aside, and told me that he had no preconceived notions of me, and that Harold's opinion of me had nothing to do with his. I thought it was cool that he did that."

Josh could not look any less interested, "Yeah yeah yeah. Did you and Scott have some behind the scenes blowups, due to him hooking up with Courtney right in front of you? I KNOW that there had to have been some drama there." He saw Duncan raise an eyebrow at him, "What?"

"You're just... really weird. There was no drama between Scott and I. We were actually friends on the season. He made me laugh, whether it was due to his clumsiness, or the funny shit that came out of his mouth. I liked that he owned who he is, was unapologetic, and never used his injuries to play victim, unlike Al. We are both expert carvers, so we would carve a bunch of trees and objects together. I haven't had a male friend like him in a while, but once he started dating Courtney, things got... weird. We didn't argue or anything, but there was some distance, and I also felt like Courtney intentionally chose him to flirt with to bother me, since she knew we were friends. We didn't speak for years after the season, since I was in jail, but he did send me a letter, so he cared somewhat. We didn't really get close again until he ended his... situation with Courtney."

"Alright, that is shocking to me at least. The last person we're going to go over is Zoey, who you shockingly bonded with on your last season. Where did that come from?"

He started becoming more relaxed, "I don't know, but she's just a very calming person. Apparently it was her idea to throw the party, and I admit that it was pretty fun, though I thought that it was for ulterior motives. We all started talking about our past seasons, and then the discussion turned into our own love triangles. She never judged me at all, which I did feel grateful for. Apparently I was starting to become nicer around everyone, which she had no problem reminding me of every time she could, even if it annoyed me. Zoey was becoming more and more insecure about her relationship with Mike, and it was weirding me out, but it was happening during the same time that I was trying to figure out who he reminded me of. Overall, she's a cool chick, and she was one of the few who continuously checked up on me while I was in prison. She visited me a few times, and when I got out, she helped me sign up with an agency, and was just a good friend throughout. She tried to mediate things with Gwen and I, but it never worked out."

Josh could not help but smile, since it was time to talk about the final person, "Speaking of Gwen, she's the last person for us to discuss today. How do you feel about the entire situation overall?"

Misery instantly crept up through his demeanor, "Ugh. From the little I dealt with her in our first season, I thought she was a badass, especially when we were the last two in the sleep challenge. While I was under the impression of Trent playing her, I felt bad for her, and started getting close to her. We started playing frisbee around this time, and we would soon bond over our love for horror movies, which was heightened at the horror challenge, where we were the final 2 in that challenge. By the time I was booted, we just started becoming friends, but we weren't the closest friends. When 'Action" happened right afterwards, things just built up from there. We also liked alien movies, and bonded over that in "Action", so I wasn't shocked when she wanted another badass on her team."

"Did you flirt with Gwen purposely to annoy Trent? And did you start to have feelings for Gwen in "Action"? People are STILL convinced that you planned all of this from the beginning."

"I wouldn't say flirting, but... I did interact with Gwen more and more, knowing that Trent felt uncomfortable with it. I wanted him to expose himself, and to kill his phony image that he built up. As a friend, I developed feelings for Gwen, but I always found her to be attractive, but I was still thinking about Courtney. Geoff playing those clips in the Aftermath put him on my shit list, and sure, we did wrestle around, but we never had a full-fledged affair. Looking back, there were feelings there, and even when everyone was badgering her, I had her back. I didn't think it was cool that Leshawna left her hanging, especially over Harold, and I confronted Leshawna about it. We remained friends after the season, and we communicated often."

Josh knew where he wanted things to go, "I know you two communicated in between seasons. After you broke up with Courtney, there was a video that was leaked with you and Gwen holding hands, as you two walked into a car. Were you seeing her before the third season started?"

Duncan started to look around frantically, "This... was during the time where Trent was being a massive jerk, and was using the breakup for publicity in his shitty band's music. Gwen was crying, and I decided to visit her. She was hyperventilating, and shaking, so I grabbed her hands, rubbed them, and told her that she's an amazing person, and Trent didn't deserve her. I told her that she is the ideal girl, and that she's someone that every guy like me would want to deal with. We spent the entire night together, and it was kind of a date, but we didn't kiss or hook up. Things changed once Courtney and I got back together. Knowing where I was with the both of them, and what Chris was planning, I COULD NOT handle them arguing, and I saw the glances that Gwen was sending me. This was the first time really that I was playing with both Courtney and Gwen were on my side, and I couldn't handle it."

"So, we already discussed why you left the show, and your process for the first half, while you were on the run. What made you decide that Gwen was the one for you, at the time?"

He cringed from the last sentence, "Gwen was always there for me, and accepted me for who I was... or at least I thought that at the time. What a joke. I did not plan to kiss Gwen when I did. It was something I wanted to do since out date-ish, but I didn't want to act on it. We were trying to figure out where we were, and what to do about it, but in the middle of a competition was not a good place to discuss it. Once everything blew up, and I was officially single, I didn't care about holding back anymore. I liked the kiss, wanted to do it again, and I did when we were in the warehouse. We didn't even get to enjoy our time together, since she was booted right afterwards, and it was my fault that it happened. By the end of "World Tour", we were ready to declare our relationship, and to be together forever."

Josh could sense that Duncan was trying hard to keep it together, "So what happened? Everything seemed set up for you two to make the distance, and you were even chilling with the couples Tyler/Lindsay, and Harold/Leshawna; both of them still being together."

He slammed his right hand on the table, before snapping his finger, "THAT is it; Leshawna and Harold, but mainly the former. Gwen and Leshawna felt bad that they didn't hang out much before, and during the season, so by the end of it, they promised to spend A LOT more time together. With this, it meant that Leshawna was in our relationship from the beginning, and was always giving Gwen her commentary, which NEVER helped. Gwen's brother and mother did not like me at all, and Gwen could not handle the backlash of the triangle, and she made it known to me that she regretted it. She did not like that I did not want to go to school, she did not like it that I did not want to spend much time with Bridgette and Geoff, since I was feuding with the latter at this time. She felt like I was disrespectful to her family, she did not like that I was rude to Leshawna and Harold, and... it became a nag. I DID NOT like that she never shut down Leshawna and Harold bringing Trent around. I DID NOT like that she never defended me to her family."

Tears started coming out of her eyes, "I... I did EVERYTHING to make it up to her, and to make things RIGHT with her, since I didn't want to be the douche boyfriend again. I can't even go over... THAT season, where she turned on me for NO reason, and stomped over my grave, so she could look good. It's even worse, since she HELPED Trent block several opportunities for me, and went out of her way to try to keep me in jail, even when I was in good behavior. When filming the season, I didn't even realize how BAD it was until I watched the season while in jail. Gwen would always tell me that she understood me and liked me for who I was, and would say that Courtney never did. It was one of the reasons why I went with her. For her to THROW ALL OF THAT in my face PUBLICLY to repair her reputation was something that NOT EVEN COURTNEY would do. She never pretended to like everything about me, and never pretended to get me, only to throw all of that under the bus. Courtney was transparent about it. Watching everything back made me realize that everything between Gwen and I was FAKE. Courtney also NEVER tried to harass me and hinder my opportunities after breaking up, so it just showed how vindictive Gwen is. I have NO respect for Gwen. She made COURTNEY seem like a better girlfriend, which is sad to say. Gwen is a sell-out, and I DO NOT FUCK with sell-outs."

"I still see the bitterness, and heartbreak. I think you should have used the wedding to have some closure with her, just like you did with Courtney. Anyways, have you interacted with the "Pahkitew" cast, or the non-All-Star "Revenge" cast?"

"I met Leonard, due to Geoff and I making up during "The Race", and inviting me to the parties. He's a fucking weirdo, and he brought that Honey Boo Boo, as well as Snow White, who also pissed me the FUCK off. That Snooki girl also hosted some parties with Geoff, so I got to know her too. Lightning was there with her at some times. DJ introduced me to Brick and Dawn. That's really it though."

The former "Manhunt" host was ready to end this long interview, "So, what have you done since "Total Drama"? It's been about 7 years since your last season, and you spent 2 years in prison."

"I was in prison for two years, and I had a lot to think about. Friendships that fell apart, dysfunctional relationships with family, and the lack of direction I've had over the last few years. Why I became obsessed with proving that I was a badass, and what that ultimately cost. After a lot of self-reflection, and time, I realized that I needed to make a change. Luckily, there were some people out there who were willing to give me a chance. Geoff and I both went through rehab once I got out, and he helped me make up with DJ and Owen. We finally went deep, and it felt nice. Mike and Zoey also shockingly helped me up. I went under a shelter for the first year or so to get a job. I worked for a warehousing job for this time, while DJ helped me out with my diet, and to get my definition in order, since I became focused on that while in prison. They introduced me to Brick, who also helped me with my coordination, as well as Eva. I became a personal trainer, and I'm damn good at it. A part of me felt like I needed to... give back, and to help people who were and are how I was like as a teen, so I went to school, shocking."

"Really? What program?"

Duncan could not stop smiling, "A double degree in Sociology, and Architecture. I am currently in my final year, and I already have some sketches for what I plan to do afterwards. Eventually, I am hoping to own my own architecture business, and to be a counselor for trouble d youths. I decided to get rid of the mohawk, green hair, some of my piercings, and most of my tattoos to have a fresh start, and to be more mature. Don't get it twisted, I will still kick a mother fucker's ass, and get down with the rest of them if I need to."

Josh rubbed the front of his head as a reminder of their earlier altercation, "Yes, me and my head know that. Anyways, it seems like you're in a good place, and are heading towards doing great things with your life. Thanks for coming over to get interviewed."

He saw Josh stick out his hand for a handshake, but Duncan blew it off, "Yeah,... whatever. I don't want anything to do with this show again, and I... didn't like living through these awful memories. Good riddance". He quickly left the room and building without a second glance.
