The scene opened with a shot of Pahkitew Island, followed by footage of the final episode of Total Drama Revived. "Last season, on Total Drama Revived...Veronica and Moon engaged in a Duel of the Girls for the million dollar prize. They settled it the old fashioned way men settled things: With fists, and jaws, and bruised internal organs! In the end though, it was Moon who won Total Drama Revived and won one million dollars, which she promptly spent on her fellow campers who competed alongside her that season!" The scene then cut to Chris standing outside the abandoned film lot from Season 2 "And much to the producers' and my joy, Total Drama Revived was so popular, that it got the highest ratings since the very first season! And because of that, we were given the green light to host an eighth season of Total Drama! Because they were the ones who got us the highest ratings since Season 1, I've invited 18 campers from Total Drama Revived to compete for another million dollar prize right here at the abandoned film lot from Season 2. Who will make it all the way to the finish line? Who will crumble under the pressure along the way? Will new alliances and friendships form? Will current friendships or loves be lost? Find out right now, because I'm welcoming you to...Total...Drama...Revenge of the Action!" Chris proudly announced as the season's intro began to play.
Two spotlights rose into the air, as a camera popped up from a hole, and another one popped up from a tree as a director's clapper was used.
Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine.
The camera proceeded to zoom through the studio before reaching a pool, proceeding to go underwater where Moon was shown swimming underwater. A shark swam up behind her, and Moon proceeded to bravely punch the shark in its snout before swimming away, after which the shark rubbed its snout in pain.
You guys are on my mind.
It then cut to above water, where Bernie was standing on top of a surfboard, dodging seagulls that Veronica was shooting at him. He was promptly knocked into the water.
You asked me what I wanted to be,
Veronica laughed after having knocked Bernie into the water, and then proceeded to kiss Derek on the lips as they embraced and grinned at each other.
And I think the answer is plain to see...
The camera then went through a set of doors Calvin ran past it, being chased by an animatronic monster.
I wanna be famous.
Laurence was standing around and scratching his head in confusion before Angela saved him from a falling stage light. The two then smiled at each other.
I wanna live close to the sun.
The scene then cut to Candace lounging in some beach chairs as she wore a pair of purple aviator shades, flashing a grin.
Go pack your bags 'cause I've already won.
It then cut to Nancy playing her Dual Teen inside the makeup trailer before makeup was being applied to her, causing her to cough and glare in annoyance.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way.
It then cut to Wendy pushing Napoleon off a platform as she grinned in satisfaction.
I'll get there one day.
Napoleon fell down into the kitchen area as one of his shoes fell into a meal Chef had prepared. Chef noticed the shoe in his meal, but shrugged his shoulders before passing it to Jackson, who applied his special spice to the meal and smiled in satisfaction after tasting the meal.
'Cause I wanna be famous.
As Steve was repairing a panel on some special effects board, he accidentally activated the explosions system. He held his right hand over his mouth in shock as he noticed this. Meanwhile, Violetta laughed excitedly at the explosions that had just occurred before noticing an angry bear next to her, and proceeded to chase after it to scare it away.
Na na na na na na, na na na na na, na na na na na na.
As Violetta and the bear ran past a limosine, the window rolled down to reveal Karen and Bob, the latter opening the limosine door as the scene cut to photo cameras flashing and journalists holding notepads.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The scene then showed Chris standing on a stage dressed in a white tuxedo with a red bowtie and white dress shoes, holding a card in his hands. He then looked at Chef, who was dressed in his pink glitter dress with pink glitter gloves, pink glitter chef hat and pink pumps, angrily gritting his teeth at Chris.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The scene then cut to Danny and Rooney sitting on a couch together, as they laughed at the scene with Chris and Chef, which was being projected on a tv behind them.
[Whistling] I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
The camera then zoomed out to reveal all the competitors and non-competitors sitting on couches on a stage, with Danny and Rooney sitting on a couch in the middle.
The scene then cut to a bus pulling up to the abandoned film lot, and like the bus from Season 2, its exhaust pipe proceeded to fall off, and the contestants got out one by one. "Damn, am I glad we get to compete in the city this time. I really missed it after such a long time on that crazy island." Veronica remarked. Veronica was a Caucasian female with blue eyes who wore a black t-shirt underneath a black biker jacket with torn black jeans and black biker boots, and also had a few piercings on her face, as well as an orange beanie that she has been wearing since her hair had been shaven off by Bernie and Moon in Total Drama Revived, and it still hadn't grown back.
Jackson got off after Veronica. Jackson was a African-Canadian male with a small black afro and brown eyes who wore a short sleeved blue denim shirt along with stonewashed blue jeans and brown shoes with black laces. "I agree that it feels great to be back in the city again after a long time of being out on an island." He replied to Veronica in his usual calm and soothing voice.
Violetta got off the bus after Jackson. Violetta was a Caucasian female with medium length black hair and hazel eyes who wore a white tank top with white jeans and a pair of white trainers. Bernie got off after Violetta, but ended up tripping and nearly hitting Violetta. Bernie was a Caucasian male with pale green eyes and spiky black hair who wore a pair of black rimmed glasses along with a long sleeved white shirt and blue trousers with red sneakers with white laces.
"Sorry, Violetta..." Bernie groaned after hitting the ground.
"No harm done, baby." Violetta replied as she pulled her love interest up on her feet and gave him a kiss on the cheek, after which Bernie blushed and smiled. Angela got off the bus next. She was a Caucasian female with dirty blonde hair tied together into a ponytail and reddish brown eyes who wore a short sleeved red and black vest with knee length blue cargo jeans and black tennis shoes.
"So this is that abandoned film lot Chris took those fourteen guys from the first generation cast to in the second season? It looks even more run down in real life than it did on the show." Angela remarked.
"Apparently so, Angela. But that's something we're gonna have to deal with like those contestants before us." Steve replied as he got off the bus. Steve was a lightly brown skinned male with brown eyes and short black hair that he wore a backwards yellow cap over, and also wore a black t-shirt underneath a zipped open gray hoodie and stonewashed ash jeans with wheat colored boots with black laces.
"Yep. We gotta put up with Chris and his antics if we wanna get that million dollar prize." Nancy added as she got off next. Nancy was a Caucasian female with medium length curly blonde hair and pale green eyes who wore a red buttoned up shirt over a long sleeved white shirt along with stonewashed black jeans and blue Velcro shoes, and was also a bit chubby from her continuous video gaming and lack of exercise.
"That we can agree on." Calvin remarked as he got off the bus next. Calvin was an African-Canadian male with short shaven black hair and black eyes who wore a gray turtleneck sweater underneath a dark brown trench coat along with dark brown trousers with black penny loafers, obviously a secret agent type of outfit, which fits with Calvin's love for secret agents.
"Well, if there's one thing I've learned from my time on Total Drama last season, it's that if Chris pushes you to your limit, you raise your limit. Some of the previous contestants are tough nuts to crack, and we should aspire to become as tough as those nuts." Karen pointed out as she got off the bus. Karen was an African-Canadian female with brown dreadlock hair and brown eyes who wore a white t-shirt underneath a black denim jacket with black trousers and orange and white shoes.
"Karen's right, guys. If we wanna survive another season of Total Drama, we gotta be tough. That's the only way to survive Chris' insanely cruel challenges. Not only that, but we gotta be tactical as well if we wanna stay one step ahead of each other." Bob pointed out as he got off the bus. Bob was a Caucasian male with shoulder length brown hair and pale blue eyes who wore an elbow length baby blue sweater with olive green cargo pants and brown slip on shoes.
"I'll keep that in mind, Bob. Thanks for the advice." Candace chuckled as she got off the bus next. Candace was a Caucasian female with short dirty blonde hair that she wore a backwards orange cap over along with a gray sweatshirt and gray sweatpants with bright blue running shoes, fitting her tomboyish nature.
"What's advice?" Laurence asked as he got off the bus next. Laurence was a Caucasian male with spiky blonde hair with blue eyes who wore a gray t-shirt underneath an olive green jacket with blue jeans and white Velcro shoes.
"Don't question that, Laurence. You might end up mentally tangling yourself again." Moon told her friend as she got off the bus next. Moon was a Caucasian female with medium length blonde hair and blue eyes who wore a blue track jacket with olive green cargo shorts and red boots with white laces.
"Oh, okay then! Thanks, Moon!" Laurence replied with a smile.
"Anytime, Laurence." Moon replied back with a smile. Napoleon got off the bus next. He was a Caucasian male with short brown hair and green eyes who wore a black and white varsity jacket and black jeans with white running shoes. This outfit fit Napoleon's jock persona, and he also had a muscular build underneath his varsity jacket and had a masculine face, giving him a quite handsome appearance.
"One thing's for sure: I'm not gonna let myself be outsmarted this time around! Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, beat you once! Remember that!" Napoleon warned the other contestants. Apparently Napoleon was still mad about Veronica outsmarting him on Total Drama Revived.
Wendy got off the bus next. Wendy was a Caucasian female with blonde hair tied together in a ponytail who wore a green tracksuit with white running shoes. "I'm not gonna let you outsmart me either, Napoleon. Fool me once, shame on me. Fool me twice, eliminate you once." She warned the dashing Dutch jock as she pointed her left index finger at him.
"I really hope I won't be with you in a team with you or Veronica this season. If I'm in a team with either of you, I'll puke." Napoleon scoffed, crossing his arms.
"I hope I won't be on a team with you either, Napoleon, because I have some trusting issues with you after that stunt you pulled on me and Veronica last season." Derek told Napoleon as he got off the bus next. Derek was a lightly brown skinned male with black eyes and spiky brown hair that he wore a white canvas hat over, and also wore a white t-shirt underneath a tan jacket with tan cargo pants and black boots with black laces. This outfit fit with Derek's love for nature.
"Glad we can agree on that." Napoleon scoffed, crossing his arms still. Finally, Danny and Rooney got off the bus. Danny looked similar to Katie from the first season: He was a lightly brown skinned male with black hair and black eyes who wore a black sweatshirt with black trousers and black tennis shoes and was also skinny. Rooney looked similar to Sadie from the first season: He was a Caucasian male with black hair and black eyes who wore a black sweatshirt with black trousers and black tennis shoes and was chubby. Like Katie and Sadie, they could've been twins, but they weren't, having acknowledged this themselves when they arrived at Pahkitew Island for Total Drama Revived.
"Come on, guys. Lighten up a little bit. What happened last season is all in the past now. It's a brand new season with brand new oppertunities and adventures." Danny pointed out.
"Danny's right, guys. It's been a while since Total Drama Revived happened, and we should focus on the new season we have ahead of us." Rooney added.
"Yeah, sure, whatever..." Napoleon sighed. The bus doors then closed and the bus took off. Chris then honked the horn of his trolley that he used to get the contestants into the film lot in the second season as he pulled up to the contestants in it.
"Yo, Chris. We haven't seen you in a while. How you been?" Veronica asked Chris.
"Had a lot of fun with the moola you guys made me from the ratings of Total Drama Revived, thanks for asking." Chris replied. "Now get in quick, because we haven't got all day." He added before the 18 contestants picked up their baggage and got into the trolley with Chris before they all drove off into the film lot.
"So, you all recognize this film lot, since it's the one we shot the second season at! I'd like to welcome you all to Total...Drama...Revenge of the Action!" Chris began as he pointed at the camera while driving. "This abandoned movie lot is still the same as last time: Nothing crazy has happened to the place since our last visit. It hasn't been used as a chemical garbage dump like Camp Wawanakwa has been before we revisited the location for our fourth season." He continued.
"That's a relief. I'd hate to be competing on film sets that are filled with toxic waste that could potentially kill me." Angela remarked as the trolley drove across the film lot.
"Trust me, Angela, I've learned from my past mistakes. Going to jail for crimes against nature was one of the less fortunate events of my career as a reality show host, and I wouldn't dare to have a chemical garbage dump operating right here in the city of Toronto." Chris assured Angela as he looked at her.
"I can't believe we're gonna be at the movies! This is so exciting!" Laurence said in excitement.
"First off, you're not gonna be at the movies, you're still gonna be on tv. And second, I'm trying to explain the season to you, so shush!" Chris told Laurence with an annoyed look on his face. "Anyway, like the members of the first generation cast who came here before you, you're gonna be spending the next six weeks here, competing in challenges for immunity and rewards, as well as the famous prize you all know and love: One million bucks!" Chris continued.
Moon chuckled. "I'm definitely up for winning another million dollars. I've won the prize before, and I'd love to share it with my fellow contestants once again." She replied with a confident grin.
"Shush, Moon!" Chris told Moon. "As before, the losing team of the Immunity Challenge has to head to a Gilded Chris ceremony and watch as one of their members makes the dreaded walk down the Walk of Shame and step inside the Lame-o-sine." He continued as they drove past the Lame-o-sine. Chris pressed a few buttons that put up some barriers to protect him from the smoke the Lame-o-sine spat out of its exhaust, causing the contestants to cough.
"Now I know what the first generation cast felt like having to suck up those fumes..." Bob remarked as Chris let the barriers down again.
"Yep. Sucks, dunnit?" Chris replied. "The makeup trailer confessional is also still here for you to dish your personal dirt in, so feel free to use it whenever you like." He added before the scene cut to Moon inside the confessional.
"Okay, I gotta be honest, I'm going into this eighth season of Total Drama with mixed feelings. On one side, I'm excited to be going off into the Total Drama adventure a second time, and compete in challenges and that kind of stuff again, but at the same time I also have the feeling that I'm an easy target for elimination this time around because people know I won last time, and now they want to be the winner taking home that million dollar prize. We're just gonna have to see where my Total Drama journey ends this time around." Moon explained as she had her lower arms on the makeup table, having her hands on her elbows. The scene then cut back to the tour of the film lot, where the group arrived at the Craft Services Tent.
"Also returning from Season 2 is the Craft Services Tent, which is once again catered by Chef, and like last season, Jackson has volunteered to help out Chef in the kitchen until he gets eliminated." Chris explained as the other contestants cheered and applauded for Jackson, causing him to rub behind his ear, like he always does when he's complimented.
"Yeah, I'm happy to be cooking for you all again, and I hope to survive longer into the game this time so I can keep making my wonderful dishes for you all." Jackson told the other contestants in his usual calm and soothing before everyone could hear the banging of pots and pans from the Craft Services Tent as Chef emerged from it, chasing a weasel with a cooking pan.
"I don't like critters like you tryin' to leech off my cookin', ya damn no good fleabag!" Chef shouted at the weasel as he continued chasing it. The scene then cut to Jackson inside the confessional.
"I'm glad to be standing in the kitchen with Chef again. The others liked my cooking last time I participated, and I'm glad to be sharing my delicious cooking with them again this time around. However, I've also taken up an excessive Total Drama training regiment to develop a bigger skill set so I can assist my team in more ways than just my culinary ones. That's the reason I was even eliminated from Total Drama Revived in the first place, so I want to prevent that this time around." Jackson explained as he had his right hand on the makeup table while having his left hand in the air. The scene then cut back to the tour of the film lot.
"I brought plenty of movie based games to play on my Dual Teen this time around, so I came prepared for all the movie based challenges that we're gonna be playing this season." Nancy chuckled.
Steve smiled and put an arm around Nancy. "That sounds very exciting, Nancy. I hope you'll have fun with those games when you have time off from the challenges." He told his girlfriend while still having his arm around her.
Nancy smiled back and nodded. "So do I, Steve. So do I." She replied back.
Chris chuckled. "That is, if you even get the time to play on your Dual Teen. I might just confiscate it from you for the entirety of this season if I feel like it." He replied to Nancy.
Nancy frowned in annoyance at Chris. "I really hope you won't do that, because otherwise I'll have wasted my time picking out the best movie based games the Dual Teen has to offer in preparation of this season. And I would totally use my Bullet Bulb attack on you if you did." She told Chris as she crossed her arms and pouted.
"Watch what you say, Nancy, because this trolley still has an eject button, and I'm not afraid to use it." Chris warned Nancy.
"Sorry..." Nancy quietly replied.
Chris smiled. "That's more like it!" He replied back. He then proceeded to stop the trolley.
"Hey, why did we stop?" Wendy asked Chris.
"Because we're gonna be starting the first challenge right now." Chris replied as he got out of the trolley. Our first challenge...is gonna be a zombie apocalypse based one! Here's the deal: There are a lot of animatronic zombies roaming around, and your goal is to get from here to the trailers, which acts as a safe zone where the zombies can't get you. Chef has kindly offered to control the zombies, which are gonna make it hard for you to get to safezone. And...action!" Chris finished. The campers knew from watching Season 2 that this meant "Go!" and they began making a run for it.
"Outta my way, you dicks! I wanna win this challenge!" Veronica told the others as she tried making a run for it. Bernie karate chopped her in the face, and Veronica threw him out of the trolley in retaliation.
"Ugh!" Bernie grunted.
"Outta my way, guys! This one's mine!" Bob told the other contestants as everyone began fighting to get off the trolley as quick as they could.
Chris chuckled. "Wow, they're acting like a bunch of housewives who eye gouge each other over discount toasters at the Black Friday sales! And trust me, that can get pretty bad." He said while looking at the camera as Bernie ran past him. The scene then cut to the contestants running through the film lot as a bunch of animatronic zombies were chasing them.
"Isn't this cool, Rooney? It's like we're in a zombie apocalypse movie while we're actually on tv in a reality show!" Danny asked his best friend as they ran.
"I know, right? This is SO awesome!" Rooney replied as everyone was still running. The scene then cut to Danny and Rooney inside the confessional.
"This was a really fun challenge to do. Back home, Rooney and I like to watch Planet of the Living Dead as a Halloween tradition." Danny explained as he had his right hand on the makeup table.
"Yeah. It's a zombie apocalypse movie about a Special Forces Team led by Bruce "Gunslinger" Johnson who crash their helicopter near Little Bighorn River in Montana, United States and wake up to find the world overrun by zombies." Rooney explained as he had his left hand on the makeup table.
"Yeah. We love that movie so much, and with this challenge, it's like we're actually inside the movie. It doesn't get any better than this." Danny then said. The scene then cut to Moon stopping and looking around. She then noticed Laurence looking at the sky.
"Hey, look! A bird!" Laurence said as he pointed up at the sky with his left index finger. He didn't notice that an animatronic zombie was sneaking from behind him.
Moon gasped. "Laurence, look out!" She yelled as she ran over to Laurence and pushed him out of the way, bringing Laurence and herself to safety as Moon kicked the animatronic zombie away.
Chris and Chef, who were currently in another building somewhere on the film lot were surprised by Moon's act of heroism. "Ya see that shit, Chris?" Chef asked Chris as he motioned to the screen.
"Yep. A real act of heroism, if I do say so myself." Chris nodded. The scene then cut to Nancy and Steve making out with each other as Karen and Bob ran past, after which the two of them proceeded to skid to a stop.
"I gotta admit, it looked way easier finding the trailers on tv than it is now in real life..." Karen admitted. Suddenly, Napoleon ran past.
"What, are you guys lost or something? Tsk! Just follow me and you'll be fine!" Napoleon told Karen and Bob.
"Don't listen to that dashing trickster! He'll only lead you further away from the trailers so he can get the victory all to himself!" Wendy told Karen and Bob as she ran past.
Karen and Bob looked at each other. "Wendy's got a point about Napoleon. Let's follow her instead." Bob suggested. Karen nodded and the two of them ran after Wendy. The camera then turned to Veronica who stopped running and noticed Nancy and Steve making out.
"Looks like we've got our next Geoff and Bridgette over here. I have a feeling that either of 'em is gonna have to leave tonight first." Veronica said to the camera while pointing at Nancy and Steve. The scene then cut to Steve inside the confessional.
"Veronica's got a point. Geoff and Bridgette were so hopelessly in love with each other in Total Drama Action, and that's what lead to their downfall. Me and Nancy should focus on the game." Steve said as he placed his hands on his hips triumphantly. The scene then cut to Nancy inside the confessional.
"I hate to admit it, but Veronica's right. I wouldn't want to have either me or Steve having to be the first to leave the studio because we like each other so much. That's how Geoff and Bridgette got voted off first in Total Drama Action. Time to get our heads in the game!" Nancy said as she placed her hands on her hips triumphantly as well. The scene then cut to Veronica, Derek, Karen and Bob running together.
"I gotta admit, this challenge isn't so bad. There's not too much animatronic zombies around, there's no crazy special effects or anything like that. This feels like a walk in the park to me." Derek remarked before a giant animatronic zombie on four legs appeared, groaning loudly. Veronica, Karen and Bob looked at Derek angrily.
"You had to open your big mouth, didn't you?" Bob asked Derek in annoyance.
"Sorry..." Derek whimpered. The giant animatronic zombie was soon accompanied by two armored animatronic zombies and a real life bear, which proceeded to roar menacingly. Veronica, Derek, Karen and Bob then broke into a sprint and began running in the opposite direction. The scene then cut to Chris and Chef inside the building they were currently in, watching the chaos unfold on the screen.
Chris chuckled. "Glad to see that bear's back for another season." He remarked.
Chef chuckled as well. "The producers had him sign a new contract for this season." He explained to Chris. The scene then cut to Violetta running around the film lot by herself, finding Bernie hiding behind a crate because Bernie sneezed, giving away his hiding spot. Violetta proceeded to pull Bernie from his hiding spot.
"Come on, Big Bern! We got a challenge to win!" Violetta told Bernie as the two of them began running off to find the trailers.
"Yeah, of course. You know, this zombie apocalypse challenge reminds me of that time my favorite Japanese superhero show, Super Shinobi crossed over with this Japanese zombie survival horror movie franchise, Andeddo no Akumu. The main protagonists from Eirian Shinobi Spaceman ended up on an alternate version of Earth which was overrun by zombies, and they had to fight 'em all off in an attempt to save what was left of humanity. It was sick!" Bernie told Violetta as they ran.
"Save your breath for the running, Bernie! That way, maybe you won't finish last!" Violetta pointed out as they ran. The scene then cut to Candace, Calvin and Angela running around the film lot together.
"Do you think we'll be able to find the trailers in time?" Angela asked Candace and Calvin.
"I'm confident we should be able to, Agent Angela. A mission isn't over until it's been completed. That's how I operate." Calvin pointed out as they ran.
"Calvin's got a point, Angela. Let's try to get this thing over with so we can hopefully get some rest before the first elimination ceremony tonight, if there is one tonight, that is." Candace pointed out as well.
Angela nodded as they ran. "Yeah, that makes the most sense to me." She replied back. Suddenly, the three of them ran into a trio of animatronic zombies. "Shit!" Angela exclaimed.
"I'll take care of this!" Calvin assured Candace and Angela as he pulled out an airsoft pistol and fired it at the animatronics' heads, taking them out.
"Good job, Calvin!" Candace cheered as she clapped her hands.
"Yeah, I gotta hand it you, that was pretty good." Angela nodded.
Calvin chuckled as he put his airsoft pistol away in his trench coat again. "Thanks, ladies. As a secret agent, I try to protect my clients as best as I can." He replied to them. The scene then cut to Karen and Bob running away from the giant animatronic zombie and its two armored helpers. They had lost Veronica and Derek along the way. They ran past Napoleon and Wendy who soon saw the the giant animatronic zombie approaching.
"Good grief! Look at that thing!" Wendy pointed at the giant animatronic zombie.
"I suggest the two of us start finding a way around it, since the trailers could potentially be that way." Napoleon suggested.
"And then get tricked by you along the way? I pass!" Wendy replied.
Napoleon chuckled. "Okay, your call." He replied as he ran into the direction of the giant animatronic zombie.
"Screw him. I'll play this game the way I like to play it." Wendy scoffed as she ran in another direction. The scene then cut to Wendy inside the confessional.
"If there's one thing I've learned from the last time I participated, it's to never trust Napoleon! And that's my main strategy for this season! I've got the strength of a rhino, the speed of a cheetah, and I'm also developing the brains of an ape! And this time around, I'm in it to win it!" Wendy said as she pointed at the screen with her right index finger before the scene cut to Jackson running around the film lot by himself.
"I hope the rest of the contestants are alright...I'd hate to hear something bad happened to one of them..." Jackson said to himself as he ran past the giant animatronic zombie. The camera then cut to Chris and Chef inside their building, and they saw Jackson running on the screen.
"Well, what are you waiting for? Give him some!" Chris told Chef.
"Nah, I don't really feel like it." Chef replied.
"Why not?" Chris asked Chef with an annoyed look on his face.
"Because Jackson's one of the few kids in the history of this show that I actually respect." Chef shrugged. Chris sighed in annoyance. The scene then cut to Laurence and Moon being the first to find the trailers, where Chris was waiting for them.
"Laurence, Moon! You made it! You're both on Team A! Go stand over there!" Chris told Laurence and Moon as he pointed to the spot where he wanted them to stand.
"Got it. Thanks, Chris." Moon replied as she and Laurence ran to said spot. Danny and Rooney then proceeded to make it to the trailers as well.
"Danny, Rooney, you made it as well! You're on Team B! Stand over there!" Chris told Danny and Rooney as he pointed to the spot where he wanted them to stand.
"Thanks, Chris!" Danny and Rooney replied in unison as they ran over to the spot. Candace, Calvin and Angela arrived at the trailers next.
"Candace, Calvin, Angela! Team A." Chris told the three of them before they ran over to their team. Violetta and Bernie arrived next. "Violetta, Bernie, Team B." Chris told them.
Violetta noticed Laurence and Moon were on the other team. "Shucks, looks like Laurence and Moon are on a different team this time. Oh well, at least we got lucky of being put on the same team, isn't it, Bernie?" Violetta asked Bernie as she put an arm around him while smiling.
Bernie smiled back. "Yeah, it sure is." He replied. The scene then cut to Bernie inside the confessional. "Laurence and Moon may be on a different team this time, but that doesn't mean we can't still be friends. We've been friends since last season, so I don't see a reason why we can't be friends again now." Bernie explained to the camera before the scene cut to Moon inside the confessional.
"Shoot, Violetta and Bernie are on a different team this time. On the plus side, I'm on a team with Laurence, so I'm not entirely on my own in this new team. And besides, the four of us can still be friends even if we're on different teams." Moon said with a smile before the scene cut back to the trailers.
Karen and Bob arrived at the trailers next. "Karen, Bob. Team A." Chris told Karen and Bob who ran over to their team. Napoleon, Derek and Veronica arrived at the trailers next. "Napoleon, Derek, Veronica. Team B." Chris told the three of them.
Napoleon, Derek and Veronica looked at each other and sighed. "Let's just get this over with..." Veronica sighed before they ran over to their team. Jackson and Wendy arrived at the trailers next.
"Jackson, Wendy. Team A." Chris told the two of them.
"Yes! I'm glad I don't have to be on a team with Napoleon this time!" Wendy pumped her fist in satisfaction as she and Jackson ran over to their team.
"Okay, that's one team complete! Now for the other!" Chris announced before Nancy and Steve arrived at the trailers last. "Nancy, Steve. What can I say? You're last. Team B." Chris told the two of them.
Nancy and Steve looked at each other. "At least we still got on a team." Steve remarked as Nancy nodded before they ran over to their team.
"Okay, the teams have been formed! You're now probably curious what names I've got for the teams this time, am I right?" Chris asked the newly formed teams.
"I don't really care what name my team has, so just lay it on us, Chris." Veronica shrugged.
"Very well. Team A, you'll be known as...The Suspicious Snakes!" Chris announced as a red team logo of a snake appeared on the screen.
"Eh, could be worse." Angela shrugged.
"I've seen worse team names." Karen added.
"As for you, Team B...You'll be known as...The Legal Eagles!" Chris announced as a yellow team logo of an eagle appeared on the screen.
"Yes! We're eagles! Woo!" Violetta cheered.
"I love eagles, so this is an ideal team name for me!" Bernie grinned.
"Good! Another thing: Both teams are gonna have a captain! Snakes get a female captain, Eagles get a male captain! You're gonna decide who's gonna be your captain by drawing straws! Longest straw means you're team captain!" Chris continued as he took two sets of straws and handed them to the two teams.
"Well, here goes nothing..." Karen said as the girls on the Suspicious Snakes team pulled their straws. Wendy had the longest straw.
"Yes! This means I'm team captain!" Wendy grinned.
"I hope that position won't go to your head, Wendy. I'd hate to see that happen." Moon pointed out.
"She's right, Wendy. Don't let the power go to your head, because bad things might happen if it does." Jackson added in his calm and soothing voice.
"Please rest assured that the power of team captain won't go to my head, guys. My word as an athlete." Wendy assured her team.
The boys on the Legal Eagles pulled their straws next. Napoleon got the longest straw. "Well guys, looks like I'm your team captain up until the merge." Napoleon chuckled as the rest of his team rolled their eyes.
"Don't get too cocky, Napoleon, because that might come back to bite you in the ass sooner or later." Derek pointed out.
"Don't remind me, Derek." Napoleon replied in a stern voice.
"Shut it, boys. What happened last season is in the past now. And fuck me if we don't need any more doubts in the back of our heads this time." Violetta said to prevent a fight from breaking out between Derek and Napoleon.
"Okay, the team captains are decided! And just like the last time we were on this film lot, boys get one trailer, and girls get the other! Bonus!" Chris continued. The contestants cheered.
"But we're still on the same teams we've just formed, correct?" Calvin asked Chris.
"That is correct, Calvin! Now go and get some sleep, because I want you on set for the next challenge at 7 am! Before I go, boys get the right trailer, and girls get the left trailer! Now get to sleep!" Chris finished before walking off. The scene then cut to the inside of the boys trailer, where the boys were deciding on who gets which beds.
"I'll take top bunk, and then Bernie can sleep below me!" Laurence suggested.
"Agreed!" Bernie replied as him and Laurence ran to their bunk bed.
"I'll take top bunk." Derek said.
"I'll take bottom." Bob added as him and Derek walked over to their bunk bed.
"I'll take top bunk!" Danny said.
"I'll take bottom!" Rooney added as the two best friends ran to their bunk bed as well.
"I'll take top bunk." Napoleon said as he walked over to his bunk bed.
"I'll take bottom then." Calvin nodded as he walked over to his bunk bed with Napoleon.
"Guess that leaves the last bunk bed for us then." Jackson calmly said to Steve.
"Guess so." Steve replied as him and Jackson walked to their bunk bed as well, with Steve taking the top bunk and Jackson taking the bottom.
Meanwhile in the girls trailer, the girls were deciding which girls get which bunk beds. "So, who gets which bunk bed?" Angela asked.
"I have an idea! We could use makeup brushes as straws, just like the girls did in Season 2! Longest brushes get top bunk, shorter brushes get bottom! The shortest one gets to sleep with Veronica!" Violetta chuckled.
Veronica rolled her eyes. "Hey, I may have been a dick last season, but that doesn't mean I'm gonna be a dick this time around." She replied to Violetta.
"I actually like that idea, Violetta! Let's try it out!" Candace exclaimed as she ran to grab some makeup brushes, then ran back to the others. The girls then proceeded to each grab a makeup brush.
"I got a long one!" Violetta exclaimed.
"And I got a short one! I'm sharing a bunk bed with Violetta!" Moon added as she and Violetta ran over to a bunk bed.
"Long!" Wendy exclaimed.
"Short!" Angela added.
"Wanna share, Angela?" Wendy asked Angela.
"Sure, I don't see why not." Angela nodded as the two walked to their bunk bed.
"Long!" Candace exclaimed.
"Short!" Karen added.
"Share?" Candace then asked Karen.
"As long as you don't rap in your sleep, then I don't see anything wrong with it." Karen smiled.
"Don't worry, Karen. I used to rap in my sleep until I got shock therapy for that stuff. I don't do it anymore." Candace assured Karen.
"Okay then." Karen nodded as the girls walked to their bunk bed.
"Aw, man...Why do I have to share a bunk with Veronica...?" Nancy groaned, as she had drawn the shortest brush.
"Hey, don't worry, Nancy, I won't bite. Unless you want me to, that is." Veronica sadistically chuckled before she and Nancy walked over to their bunk bed.
The scene then cut to the outside of the trailers at 4 AM. Chris popped up from behind the girls trailer, laughing quietly but sadistically as he got out a megaphone and shouted into it. "Rise and shine, it's your 4 AM wake up call!" Chris shouted into the megaphone before all the contestants woke up and started yelling unintelligibly. "Nah, just kidding. You can go back to sleep...for now." Chris assured the contestants as they grumbled.
"And that concludes the first episode of Season 8 of Total Drama! On the next episode, you will see the first team based challenge, and we'll also be seeing our first contestant leave the studio! Who's gonna be the first to make the humiliating stroll down the Walk of Shame? Is there gonna be anything interesting between Karen and Bob? Or Nancy and Steve? Or Veronica and Derek? Or will a new couple surface this season? Find out next time, on Total...Drama...Revenge of the Action!" Chris finished before laughing. "I love my job." Chris said to himself.
