"Last time, on Total Drama: Diamond Lake. The campers took turns tossing hammers at television, nothing excites teens more than vandalism. Some did good," scenes of Grace, Brian, and Ryo throwing their hammers played, "others did great," we then saw Rose's trio of Hail Maries, "and some... kind of sucked." Johnny's horrible botch played, "Feeling corned Johnny tried to swoon Grace into voting off Roman, who may or may not be part sasquatch. But that didn't work and his attempted force kiss got his sorry behind kicked off, or is he?"

Greg was then seen standing at the front of the Camp, "What's gonna happen next? Find out now on...

Total.

Drama.

Diamond Lake!"

The camera opened up with a shot of the southern part of the island. The camera flew past Greg and went straight up into the sky and started to drop into the lake. "Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, you guys are on my mind." The camera dropped down into the lake revealing Orion, who seemed to be looking for something.

"You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see." Orion rises up to get a breath of air, only to knock Brian off of his surfboard.

"I wanna be famous." The camera moved over to the eastern side of the Island, where Rose and Krystal were glaring at each other.

"I wanna live close to the sun." The camera then cut to the activity center behind the mess hall, where Grace was listening to Post play music.

"So pack your bags cause I've already won." The camera moved over to a different part of the Activity Center where it revealed Deena and Roman engaging in an intense arm-wrestling match.

"Everything to prove nothing in my way." The camera turned around and headed over to the mess hall while passing Paige, who seemed to be trying to talk to Andrius.

"I'll get there one day" The camera then went to the kitchen, where counselors DJ and Katie were fighting a slop monster.

Cause I wanna be famous." Inside the mess hall, Linka was trying not to gag at the food and Ryo was staring at it with no emotion in his eyes.

"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na." The camera headed off to the western side of the island, and quickly showed off Johnny and Uma having a contest to see who the better eye candy is.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous. I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous." The camera stopped at Griff, who was giving Maybelle a piggyback ride, only for him to trip and fall into the water. The water cleared from the camera to show all of the campers around a bonfire whistling the tune.

After the opening, we cut to the communal bathrooms where Orion is seen brushing his teeth. Beside him Ryo was shaving off some light stubble growing on his chin. After washing out the paste with water and spitting it out, Orion faced his sickly looking teammate "Hey, Ryo was it?" Ryo turned to face him. "Brian and Rose told me about you, and I was kind of wondering-"

"Sure."

"Huh?" Orion stopped.

"I'll help you look for proof of the drowning incident that caused the camp to be shut down. I could use a challenge." Ryo said as he wiped the foam off his face.

"How did you know what I was gonna say?" Orion asked.

"Your sister mentioned you asking Greg that when you first arrived, I spotted you looking around the lake after you and Maybelle found the idol that's hidden under your hat." Ryo's face didn't move a muscle as he explained. Orion's eyes widen when he mentioned his idol.

(BZZT)

Orion: Man, he's good.

(BZZT)

Ryo assured him "Don't worry, believe it or not I'm no snitch."

"I don't suppose you found one too?" he guessed.

"Like I'd give away information like that so blindly." Ryo responded.

"Fine, keep your secret." Orion replied. "So, what do you know about Diamond Lake?" Orion questioned.

"Let's discuss over breakfast." Ryo said as he put his razor away before walking out, Orion did the same but with his toothbrush.

In the boy's cabin, Griff was looking over some beakers filled with various colored chemicals. The camera was facing his back "Hmmmm, lets see. Mix this with... " he poured a green liquid into a red one, he then moved his mask up and drank the mixture before screaming fire before cooling it off with some water. He moved his mask down before facing the camera, "Well that's another failure."

Knock knock.

"Griff, its Katie! I brought you your breakfast!"

"Ah, right." Griff got up and answered the door, finding Katie with a tray of gruel and toast. "Many thanks Ms. Katie."

"Tell me again, why you don't wanna eat with your teammates again?"

"Its... a long story. Anyway thanks." he closed the door on her before taking the tray.

Katie sighed.

(BZZT)

Katie: Griff asked me to take all his meals to him in the boys cabin, I just don't know why he doesn't wanna eat with us in the mess hall. Maybe he dabbled too much into science and... I'm probably overthinking this, he'll tell me when he's ready.

(BZZT)

During breakfast, while the teams were mostly sitting at their big tables, Brian and Grace sat together at one of the smaller tables. "I see you guys canned Johnny." Brian noted.

"Yeah, he was kind of a prick." Grace replied as she mindlessly ate the gruel. "Between his lack of physical capability and crappy personality, he was as good as gone."

"Yeah, especially when he tried to force one on you." he took a bite of gruel.

"It's fine, I've had guys try that to me before. Mostly after I dumped them, so it was no big deal. If Roman hadn't interfered I'd have done much worse, after all I was raised by a lumberjack." Grace shrugged, as she took another bite of gruel "You know, DJ's actually makes this gruel somewhat digestible."

"Yeah I know, too bad we can't have what Krystal's having." he pointed to his wealthy teammate, who was being served breakfast sushi by the interns.

"Meh, forget her. Rich girls are all the same. Vain, snobby, selfish, and can't do anything themselves." Grace listed off as she kept eating.

"Maybe, but parties at their mansions are so si-ick! This one time we threw a huge rager at my rich classmate's while her family was on vacay, you wouldn't even recognize it after we were done." Brian recalled, "Nailed the sickest cannonball into their pool."

"Man, I wish I was there."

"You should totally come to the next one, she got new security to keep us out. But my friend Sal can get us in there no problem."

"Mmmmmmm, sure why not?" she shrugged.

Andrius sat at the Panther table looking at his plate, he sighed before taking a forkful. He hasn't really eaten much of the camp food, but he's out of the snacks his mom packed so. He took a breath before biting into it, hmmmmm. Not great, but not horrible either.

He looked to his teammates and saw Maybelle next to him wearing a new sweater, this one black decorated with stars and a bed with a person sleeping in it on the front. She saw him looking at her, "Oh hey Andrius, sup."

"Um... your..." he slowly pointed to her new top.

Maybelle looked down and saw what he was referring to, "Oh, you like? I knitted it myself last night."

"Oh... its... nice."

"So what do you think of the team so far?"

"Oh they're... nice."

"Hey sis, Ryo has some info about this camp." Orion walked up behind her.

"Oh fine, excuse me real quick Andrius." she got up and went to where Ryo was perched on his seat.

"Sorry to interrupt man." Orion apologized before following his sister.

Andrius heard a chuckle before he turned to see Deena looking at him, "Blocked by the brother." she laughed.

Andrius glared at her, "No I wasn't. Look she's nice and all, but I just met her."

"Whatever you say, Smallsy." she smirked before downing her gruel. He rolled her eyes at her.

On the Grizzlies side, Roman was eating his gruel. From behind arms started to wrap around him, "Off or I'll rip your head off." the arms slinked back, before out from behind him walked Uma who went over to sit with the only Grizzly girls at their table.

"I just don't understand, usually guys get all excited when I'm even near them. If you know what I mean." she nudged the lawyer, who groaned in response. "But Roman just doesn't even look at me."

"Maybe he's just not into girls." Linka shrugged.

"Or maybe he's just focusing on the game?" Paige also suggested.

"Ugggh." Uma whined before laying down on the bench. "You two are as useless as you are boring."

Roman just kept eating as Post leaned towards him, "Man, Uma has been real forward with you hasn't she?"

"No duh."

"I mean she's forward with all the guys here, like last night when we found her in out cabin-"

"Get rid of her."

"Huh?" Post stopped.

"Next time we lose, she's gone." Roman told him.

"You sur-"

"Did I stutter?" he gave him a nasty glare.

"No, no, I hear yah. I'm just asking, why?"

"Because if we're gonna win and all live to fight another day, we need everyone on their A game and not their D game." Roman explained as he bent his metal fork in half.

"I get that, kind of. But hey look on the bright side, at least you got a hot girl after you."

"Oh she is, but I'm not looking for relationships. I'm looking for that 5 million dollars, which I will win!" he emphasized when he stabbed the fork into the table.

Post reared back from this, "Okay."

(BZZT)

Post: I know Roman wants the best for our team, but maybe there's a better way than threatening everyone around him.

(BZZT)

BRRRRRR

"Everyone, meet at the elimination site for your next challenge." Greg's voice rang through the speakers.

"Lets go." Roman said before standing up and walking out, followed by Post.

"Hey Ro-"

"Grab Griff." Roman interrupted Uma's sentence as he walked by, she sighed before she pulled herself to fetch their body suited up teammate.

"You know you could be a little nicer." Paige critiqued, but one look from Roman made her shut up.

As the Panthers got up to leave, Rose bumped into Krystal. Making her spill a cup of sparkling water on herself, "Can't you watch where you're going? Oh wait, you can't." the rich girl snarked.

"Like I haven't heard that one before." she replied before walking past her.

Krystal scoffed, she then saw Orion looking at her. "What?"

"Nothing." he looked away before handing her some napkins, "Dry off with these."

"Well its something." she said sardonically as she snatched them and wiped off her spill.

"Lets just go see what the challenge is." Orion said as he went off to follow the others. Krystal watched him leave, sighing to herself.

"Dream on Krystal, you're the bearer of a lonely rich heart." she told herself before following her crush.
