The Total Drama Aftermath jingle was blaring, as the letter T appeared on the screen, then the letter D, then the letter R, then the letter O, then another letter T, and finally the letter A. Underneath those letters, the word "Aftermath" appeared, before the scene cut to Danny and Rooney sitting on a couch in the middle of the stage. To the right of them, a peanut gallery was stationed, and in the peanut gallery, the four contestants from Total Drama Revived who didn't qualify for Revenge of the Action, Geronimo, Holly, Ashley and Zeke were sitting alongside the interns for the season, Lindsay, Lightning, Jo, Sam, Sierra, Duncan, Courtney and Scott.
"Good evening, ladies and gentlemen, boys and girls! This is Total Drama Aftermath, which is once again hosted by us, Danny and Rooney!" Danny began to speak.
"Yes, we're grateful to have been allowed to host the Aftermath segment of the show once more, and I can tell you right now, we will be having a couple of Aftermath segments for this season, so you'll get to enjoy seeing us at work during the Aftermath a few times this season! How cool is that?" Rooney chimed in as the audience began to cheer.
"Now, before we receive our first eliminated contestant here, I just want to give a quick shoutout to our guests in the peanut gallery over there! Everyone, give it up for our four contestants from Total Drama Revived who didn't qualify for this season: Geronimo, Holly, Ashley and Zeke!" Danny beamed as the audience cheered once more and Geronimo, Holly, Ashley and Zeke began to wave to them.
"Guys, even though you didn't get to compete on this season, we're still glad that you're here to provide commentary for our Aftermath segments!" Rooney told Geronimo, Holly, Ashley and Zeke.
"Anytime, guys. We were happy to join you here today." Geronimo spoke up. Geronimo was a Caucasian male with a brown cowlick haircut and light green eyes and a scrawny build who wore an orange sweater along with tan cargo pants and tan shoes.
"Yeah! This season just seemed so fun that we just couldn't stay away!" Holly added with a smile. Holly was an African-Canadian female with brown eyes who wore a gray troll costume and had a pale yellow staff with a round red gem at the end of it in her right hand.
Ashley smiled and nodded. "Yeah. Plus, it means we get to hang out with the people we spent our last summer with again, so that's pretty cool too." She chimed in. Ashley was a Caucasian female with pale blond shoulder length hair and ice blue eyes who wore a light brown cowgirl hat on her head along with a red t-shirt underneath a light brown jacket with light blue jeans and chestnut brown cowgirl boots.
"Yep! Anything to see my buddies Karen, Bob, Steve and anyone else I befriended during Total Drama Revived again!" Zeke piped up. Zeke was a Caucasian male with shaggy black hair and hazel eyes who wore a black turtleneck sweater with stonewashed black jeans and brown loafers.
"Alright, if you guys are happy to be here, then so are we." Danny told Geronimo, Holly, Ashley and Zeke with a smile.
"And we would also like to thank our former competitors who act as interns during this season, Lindsay, Lightning, Jo, Sam, Sierra, Duncan, Courtney and Scott for joining us here today as well." Rooney continued as the audience cheered once more, but only Lindsay, Sam and Sierra waved to the audience.
"It's an honor to be here with you guys tonight, and I hope this Aftermath will be simply wonderful!" Lindsay beamed.
"Hey, twin brothers! Mind telling Lightning why you made us come to this Aftermath?" Lightning then proceeded to ask Danny and Rooney.
"Yeah, Tweedle Dumb and Tweedle Dumber. Enlighten us." Jo chimed in as she crossed her arms.
"Okay, first off. We're not twins. We may look identical, but we're not twins. It's just like Katie and Sadie: They look identical, but they're not twins." Danny pointed out.
"Yeah, and second: We'll get into why we invited you and the other interns to the Aftermath later on. For now, we have eliminated contestants to interview." Rooney added.
"Well, what are we waiting for? Let's get this show on the road." Sam said with a smile.
"Yeah! I can't wait to get info from the eliminated contestants to post on my blog!" Sierra beamed.
"I'm just looking forward to the moment I can finally move on from this stupid show. And hopefully once I'm able to move on from this stupid show, I won't have to go back to jail for blowing up Chris' stupid mansion." Duncan scoffed.
"I can't wait for this season to wrap up, because I don't want to have anything to do with this show or this cheating jerk anymore." Courtney scoffed as well as she pointed at Duncan.
"Didn't you two break up after you were eliminated from Action? If that's the case, I'd hardly say that he cheated on you." Scott pointed out.
"Oh, shut up! It's not important!" Courtney barked at him.
"Man, now I'm glad I broke up with you. No wonder you're hated by so many other contestants on this show: You're more tense than a rabid squirrel." Scott replied before Courtney growled in response.
Danny and Rooney were unsure what to say about the situation, and so they moved on with the show. "Anyway, with the introduction of our guests in the peanut gallery out of the way, let's move on to our first eliminated contestant! She had healed from the two broken legs she gained during Total Drama Revived, and was more than ready to take on her second run in Total Drama this season, but she ended up being the first contestant to be eliminated from Total Drama: Revenge of the Action because she spent more time playing her Dual Teen than actually contributing to her team. Ladies and gentlemen, put your hands together for Nancy!" Danny announced as Nancy proceeded to walk onto the stage while waving to the audience as they cheered for her. Nancy then proceeded to sit down on the first row of the couch that was situated to the left of Danny and Rooney.
"Nancy, welcome!" Rooney greeted Nancy.
"Yeah, thanks! I'm glad I'm not in a wheelchair for this Aftermath! Makes it easier for me to move around on the stage and everything!" Nancy replied with a smile.
"So, you were the first one eliminated from Total Drama: Revenge of the Action. How does that feel?" Danny then asked Nancy.
"I was obviously a bit disappointed at first, but at the end of the day, I understood why my team voted me out. I mean, like you said, I spent more time playing my Dual Teen than actually contributing to the team. Should I get the chance to compete on Total Drama again for Season 9 of the show if they do end up making it, I'd definitely try and contribute to the team more so I won't risk getting voted out first again." Nancy replied.
Danny and Rooney nodded at that. "That's a very good idea, Nancy. Let's hope that if Total Drama gets renewed for Season 9, you'll be able to qualify to compete on it." Rooney replied with a smile.
"Yep, here's hoping." Nancy nodded back before turning her attention to Sam. "Hey, Sam! I'm glad I finally get to meet you in person!" She told the gamer guy with a wave.
Sam smiled and waved back. "I agree, it's cool to meet a fellow gamer! Once this season of Total Drama wraps up, you and Steve should come over to play games with me and Dakota sometime! Don't worry about her being a 10 foot tall mutant now, she's really sweet!" He assured the gamer girl.
"Alright, sounds like a plan!" Nancy replied as she gave Sam a smile and a thumbs up.
"I'm sure that if Sam didn't have Dakota and Nancy didn't have Steve, Sam and Nancy would definitely hook up." Holly remarked.
Geronimo nodded in agreement with Holly's statement. "I honestly agree with that. If the two of them weren't already taken, they'd definitely be the ideal couple." He replied to Holly. "Not that there's anything wrong with Sam and Dakota and Nancy and Steve being couples, of course." He added.
"Psh! They'd never match! Sam's into mutant girls, so that Nancy girl would never have a chance of being with him!" Lightning replied to Geronimo and Holly.
"Don't worry about it, guys. I would never dream of stealing Sam away from Dakota. I'm already happily in a relationship with my dear Steve, and I would never leave him for another man." Nancy assured everyone with a smile.
"Awwww..." The audience sighed.
"That's sweet." Danny smiled before turning his attention to Rooney. "Anyway, I think it's time for you to introduce our next guest, Rooney." He told his best friend.
"Oh, right!" Rooney replied before turning his attention back to the camera. "Anyway, our next guest is a very talented cook and an overall mellow fellow, but he ended up getting the boot early on this season for letting a valuable piece of evidence get stolen from him during the film noir challenge of this season! It's Jackson!" Rooney announced as Jackson proceeded to walk onto the stage, waving at the audience with both of his hands and the audience cheered for him. He then proceeded to sit down next to Nancy.
"Welcome to Total Drama Aftermath once more, Jackson!" Danny greeted the mellow cook.
"Hello, Danny. Hello, Rooney. I'm so glad I was able to join you boys tonight for a new episode of Total Drama Aftermath." Jackson spoke in his usual calm and soothing voice with a smile on his face.
"So, you were eliminated early on from Total Drama: Revenge of the Action for letting a valuable piece of evidence get stolen from you during the film noir challenge. Do you regret that mistake?" Rooney then asked Jackson.
Jackson nodded at that. "Yes, I obviously do. My goal for this season was to show that I was capable of more than being a good cook, but that goal was unable to come to fruition because of that grave mistake I made, no pun intended." He replied to Danny and Rooney.
Danny and Rooney nodded at that. "If you hadn't made the mistake of letting that valuable piece of evidence get stolen from you, do you think you would have been able to reach the merge this season?" Danny then asked Jackson.
Jackson thought about it before nodding. "I think I would have been able to, yes. I'm not sure how I would have been able to survive into the game after the merge had initiated, but I definitely think I would have been able to make the merge if it weren't for that grave mistake I made." He replied.
"I'm still waiting for Chris to give me my hook back after that challenge. That asshole promised me he would give it back to me after that film noir challenge wrapped up, but he never did. He better not have done anything crazy with my hook, or he'll be in the hospital once I'm done with him." Duncan spoke as he pounded his right fist into his left hand with a grunt.
"Sure you would." Jo replied with a smirk.
"We all know you're a big weenie underneath that thick skin." Ashley replied with a giggle.
"That was back in All-Stars! If there's one good thing that came out of my stay in jail, it's that I was able to harden myself up again to be intolerant of cunts like you!" Duncan replied a scowl.
"Please, let's not resort to insulting the guests here and using obscenities when talking to them. We're all among friends here." Jackson told Duncan in his usual calm and soothing voice.
"Go fuck yourself." Duncan scoffed at him while crossing his arms as Jackson simply sighed.
"Pay no attention to that, Jackson. Anyway, we have one final question for you before we move on to our next guest: If given the chance to compete on Season 9 of Total Drama if the show gets renewed for another season, would you do so?" Rooney then asked Jackson.
"Of course I would. I want to accomplish my goal of showing that I'm capable of more than being a good cook while on this show, so if I were to be invited to participate on Total Drama for its ninth season, I would certainly accept the invitation." Jackson nodded.
Danny and Rooney nodded at that. "Alright, that's great to hear." Danny replied before he turned his attention back to the camera. "Anyway, our next guest was eliminated because one of her teammates tampered with the votes because she was fed up with her standing up for her friend Laurence. And now she's here with us tonight to talk about her experience on this season. Give it up for Moon!" Danny announced as Moon walked onto the stage, smiling and waving to the audience as they cheered for her. She then sat down next to Jackson.
"Welcome to the show, Moon!" Rooney greeted the winner of Total Drama Revived with a smile.
Moon smiled and nodded. "Thanks, Rooney." She replied.
"So, you were eliminated because Wendy tampered with the votes because she was fed up with you standing up for Laurence. What went through your head as you took your leave from the film lot in the Lame-o-sine that night?" Danny then asked Moon.
"As I took my leave from the film lot in the Lame-o-sine that night, I realized that it was Wendy who had rigged the votes to get me out of the game. Rigging the votes is already a low thing to do, but doing it because you were fed up with me standing up for my friend? That's below the belt." Moon replied with an upset frown.
Danny and Rooney nodded in agreement. "We totally agree with you, Moon. We were really hoping that you would make the merge once more this season, but unfortunately, it didn't get to be." Rooney told Moon.
"Now you how I felt when that son of a bitch Harold tampered with the votes to get me out of the game!" Courtney scoffed as she crossed her arms in front of her chest with a scowl on her face.
"You kinda had it coming for being so mean to other girls like Sandy though..." Lindsay replied to Courtney.
"Her name is Sadie! And I could care less about her feelings on the matter! She was the weakest link on our team that episode! She had to go!" Courtney scoffed at Lindsay.
"Okay..." Lindsay frowned as she decided to not tick off Courtney any further.
Moon sighed. "Yeah, I guess I now know what it was like to be in your shoes in Island..." She replied to Courtney.
"Do you think you would have been able to make it all the way to the finale again like you did last season if Wendy hadn't tampered with the votes?" Danny then asked Moon.
Moon thought about it before shaking her head. "No, I don't think I could've made it to the finale once more. I went into this second season knowing that my fellow contestants would have a "You won last time, now I want to win" mentality. And because of that, I don't think I'll be able to ever win a season of this show again, as sad as it may sound." She replied.
Danny and Rooney nodded at that. "As sad as it may sound, it also sounds humble of you to say in a strange way, Moon. I really like it." Rooney replied back to Moon with a smile.
"Alright, now time to move on to our next guest! Please announce him, Rooney!" Danny told Rooney.
"Well, you see, there's a little problem with that..." Rooney replied as he sheepishly rubbed the back of his head. "The next guest was supposed to be Laurence, but...He's still at the local hospital being treated on his third degree burns that he got from falling in that piping hot pit of tomato soup during the adventure challenge. So I'm really sorry, but Laurence won't be able to attend tonight's Aftermath." He explained.
"Awwww..." The audience groaned in disappointment.
"I'm still upset that such a thing happened to Laurence. He didn't deserve such a painful elimination from Total Drama. I mean, he was really nice." Geronimo said with an upset frown.
Holly nodded her agreement. "I would definitely use a healing spell to heal Laurence of his third degree burns if I had the chance, but unfortunately, I do not." She chimed in.
"Well, hopefully Laurence will be able to attend the next Aftermath. I mean, by the time the next Aftermath takes place, I'm sure that he's been treated well enough to be able attend the show." Ashley suggested.
Zeke nodded in agreement. "She's right. I'm sure that Laurence should be fine to attend the next Aftermath." He said with an optimistic smile.
"Yeah! Hopefully you guys will be able to get a good interview going so I can put it on my blog!" Sierra beamed.
Danny and Rooney nodded to the guests in the peanut gallery. "Alright, thank you all for your commentary." Danny told them before turning his attention back to the camera. "Anyway, let's move on to our next guest! She's known to put on an amazing performance during the challenges she participates in, which is what usually leads to her downfall in this game! She's Bob's girlfriend and a good friend to Zeke, here comes Karen!" Danny announced as Karen walked onto the stage as the audience cheered for her and she sat down next to Moon.
"Hey, Karen! Welcome to Total Drama Aftermath!" Rooney greeted Karen.
Karen gave Danny and Rooney a smile. "Thank you, boys. I'm glad I was able to join you for tonight's Aftermath." She replied to Danny and Rooney.
"So, last time you competed, you were eliminated for being a dangerous player who puts on an amazing performance during challenges, and that's the exact same reason why you were eliminated here as well. Are you upset by that?" Danny asked Karen.
Karen shrugged. "Maybe a little. But I can see where they're coming from. When you're really good at challenges like I am, that's bound to draw a big target on your back, and while I was able to make the merge last season, the target drawn on my back was so big that I was taken out before the merge this time around. I'm just counting on Bob to make the merge for me, and seeing as the remaining ten contestants are going into the merge next week, I'd say that he kept his promise." She said with a smile.
Duncan chuckled. "You remind me a lot of Gwen. And I can see why that makes you so popular amongst Total Drama fans: You're smart, kind, talented, pretty...You've got the whole package to make yourself a likeable contestant." He remarked with a smirk.
"I bet you're saying that because you're still not over Gwen, are you?" Karen cheekily asked the delinquent with a smirk.
Duncan's face flushed at the comment. "Absolutely not!" He defensively scoffed as he crossed his arms.
"He's definitely still into Gwen." Zeke whispered to Ashley with a chuckle. Ashley giggled and nodded in response before Duncan pounded Zeke on the head. "Ow!" Zeke exclaimed as he rubbed his head.
Danny and Rooney decided not to comment on the predicament in the peanut gallery and turned their attention back to Karen. "Anyway, before we move on to our final guest, we have one last question for you: If you were given the chance, would you compete on Season 9 of Total Drama if the show ends up getting renewed for another season?" Rooney asked Karen.
Karen thought about it. "Yeah, I guess I would. I mean, I had a lot of fun competing on Total Drama Revived, and I had a lot of fun competing on this season, so why not compete three times?" She replied.
Danny and Rooney nodded at that. "Well, let's see if Total Drama will end up getting renewed for a ninth season before we worry about any contestants being added to that season's roster." Danny replied back.
Rooney nodded once more before turning his attention back to the camera. "Anyway, time to move on to our final guest of the night before we move on to our next segment of this Aftermath! She made the finale in Total Drama Revived, but ended up losing to Moon! She then returned to compete on this season, but ended up getting the boot for killing the overall mood within her team with her bullying ways! Give it up for Veronica!" Rooney announced as Veronica walked onto the stage as the audience cheered for her and she sat down on the second row of the couch that was situated to the left of Danny and Rooney.
"Veronica! Welcome!" Danny greeted Veronica.
"Hey, Danny. Hey, Rooney." Veronica raised her hand to greet the two Aftermath hosts.
"Are you still mad about your elimination from this season?" Rooney then asked Veronica curiously.
Veronica shrugged. "Meh, not anymore. I was able to blow off some steam on the punching bags at the gym of the hotel that the eliminated contestants are staying in, so I've been able to make peace with my elimination." She replied.
Danny and Rooney smiled at that. "That's great to hear! Do you think that Derek will be able to win to win this season for you just like you were almost able to win last season for him?" Danny then asked Veronica.
"If he plays his cards right? He could make it all the way up to the finale like I did last season. But if he doesn't, I won't be mad at him about it. I mean, he wasn't mad at me for losing to Moon in last season's finale, so why should I be mad at him if he ends losing to the other contestants in the merge?" Veronica replied with another shrug.
Danny and Rooney were impressed. "You know, for an ex-juvenile, you're certainly a good sport about your elimination and the possibility of Derek losing, Veronica. Color me impressed." Rooney told Veronica.
Veronica chuckled. "Hey, what can I say? Derek kinda helped me with that. He taught me that there's more to life than winning." She replied with a smile.
"Hey, Duncan. Looks like you've found your female counterpart when it comes to being a cream puff." Scott chuckled before Duncan got enraged and tackled Scott to the floor, then began beating him up.
Danny and Rooney were shocked at the sight of this, but Danny turned his attention back to Veronica. "One last question before we move on to our next segment: If you weren't eliminated at this current time, how far do you think you would've made it this season?" Danny asked Veronica.
"If I had to make a guess? I think I could've made the final five again, but if I could've made the finale again? Not so sure about that." Veronica replied.
"Alright, thank you for that, Veronica." Danny nodded to Veronica before turning his attention back to Duncan beating up Scott. "Do you think we should get someone to break up that fight?" He asked Rooney.
Rooney nodded in response. "Security! Security!" He called as two security guards rushed onto the stage to break up the fight between Duncan and Scott. Danny and Rooney then turned to the camera. "Well, while we wait for security to break up that fight, let's skip to a quick commercial break, shall we?" Rooney then suggested.
"Yes. Tonight's Aftermath is sponsored by the Deserted series of video games, Ticketmeister and Mermaids of Muskoka! The Deserted series of video games star renowned explorer and treasure hunter Avon Jake as he travels the world to uncover various historical mysteries! But don't take our word for it! Just hear it from Australian adventure game enthusiast Alex Parkinson!" Danny chimed in as the tv screen behind him and Rooney lit up to reveal Alex Parkinson on it.
Alex was a tall Caucasian teen with spiky dark blond hair that he wore a brown fedora over along with greyish blue eyes. Alex also wore a white t-shirt underneath a brown jacket along with stonewashed blue jeans and black copper boots.
"G'day, mates! Strap yourselves in for some action packed adventure gaming in the Deserted video game franchise! Jump, swim, climb and swing your way through exotic locations and solve puzzles, battle your way through enemies and drive cars, boats, and other vehicles to get to your goal!" Alex spoke in a thick Australian accent.
"If you liked the Tomb Stormer franchise starring Tara Hobbs back in the mid 90s and early 2000s, then Deserted starring Avon Jake should be right up your alley! Only on Shaystation 3, 4, and Vita!" Alex continued before the screen faded to black.
"There you have it! If you're into action adventure games, then you should definitely give Deserted starring Avon Jake a try!" Rooney beamed at the audience.
"Now time to move on to our next sponsor: Ticketmeister. Ticketmeister is an online ticket service that'll give you the chance to buy tickets to get you into concerts from some of the greatest musical acts from the current decade, including The Drama Brothers and The Irish Mob. Want to hear how great Ticketmeister is? Hear it from The Drama Brothers and The Irish Mob themselves!" Danny then told the audience as the screen behind him and Rooney lit up once more to reveal The Drama Brothers on screen: Cody, Harold, Justin and Trent, former Total Drama competitors.
"Hey there! I'm Harold!" Harold greeted the viewers.
"I'm Cody!" Cody greeted the viewers.
"I'm Justin!" Justin greeted the viewers.
"And I'm Trent!" Trent greeted the viewers.
"And we're The Drama Brothers!" The four of them said in unison.
"Ticketmeister is an online ticket service that'll give you the chance to buy tickets to get into concerts like ours, and can easily be used on any computer or mobile device." Harold began to explain.
"Just check the list of available concerts to buy tickets for, and if you see a concert you're just dying to attend, click that concert, select the amount of tickets you want to buy, click Buy, and you'll have your tickets delivered to your home the same day you bought them." Cody continued to explain.
"And with over 1 million users worldwide, it's no wonder why Ticketmeister is the #1 rated provider in tickets for musical concerts like ours." Justin chimed in.
"Still don't believe us? Hear it from some of our fellow musicians, The Irish Mob!" Trent added as the camera panned over to the singers of The Irish Mob: Robert O'Niall, Patrick O'Niall and Gretchen O'Niall.
Robert O'Niall was a tall Caucasian male with brown hair going down to the middle of his back, light green eyes and a medium length brown beard. Although it couldn't be seen on screen, he had a tattoo that read "Wild and Free" in cursive on the back of his right hand. For attire, he wore a black bandana with skulls and hatchets on his head along with a black t-shirt that read "Nothing Else Matters" in white letters and a sleeveless black leather vest over it along with stonewashed blue jeans, fingerless black gloves and a pair of black motorcycle boots.
Patrick O'Niall was also a tall Caucasian male with short shaven brown hair, light green eyes and a slight stubble on his face, and one could briefly see a tattoo of a skull with a dagger through its right eye socket on the left side of his neck. For attire, he wore a white t-shirt underneath a stonewashed blue denim jacket along with torn stonewashed blue jeans, black fingerless gloves and black motorcycle boots.
Gretchen O'Niall was a tall Caucasian female with black hair tied together into a ponytail and pale green eyes, and although it couldn't be seen, she had a tattoo of a dragon and a Judas Priest on her left arm. For attire, she wore a dark grey t-shirt with the logo of her band The Irish Mob on it underneath an unzipped black leather jacket along with torn stonewashed blue jeans and black motorcycle boots.
"Through Ticketmeister, a bunch of our fans worldwide were able to get good tickets to our concerts at good prices. Many of our fans have left positive reviews about Ticketmeister, saying that our concerts they went to were really worth the money and how they were having a blast at our concerts." Robert O'Niall began to speak in a thick Irish accent.
"And as an added bonus: If you're looking to get tickets for our upcoming world tour, Ticketmeister is currently throwing in a Total Drama discount on tickets if you go to Ticketmeister's website and use the code: "TDS8."" Patrick O'Niall explained in his own thick Irish accent.
"By using this code, you can get tickets for our upcoming world tour at the low, low price of only $30! How rockin' awesome is that?" Gretchen O'Niall chimed in in her own thick Irish accent.
The camera then zoomed out to show The Drama Brothers and The Irish Mob standing on set with each other. "Get your concert tickets at Ticketmeister today!" The two musical groups exclaimed in unison before the screen went black again.
"There you have it, folks! Need tickets for your favorite musical artists like The Drama Brothers and The Irish Mob? Ticketmeister's your go to guy or gal!" Danny told the audience with a smile.
"Now let's move on to our final sponsor of the night: Mermaids of Muskoka! Mermaids of Muskoka gives mermaid enthusiasts the chance to swim around as a mermaid or merman for a day! Just take a look at this promotional video Mermaids of Muskoka made for tonight's Aftermath together with guest mermaid, Beatrice Kilmer!" Rooney told the audience as the screen behind him lit up.
The promotional video showed Beatrice sitting on a boat together with a captain who was piloting the boat towards their location for the promotional video. Beatrice was a tall Caucasian female with a pink bowl haircut and pale blue eyes. She also had a tattoo of a spring blue water dragon on her upper right arm. She was currently wearing a pink bathing suit and also wore pink earbells, a pink necklace and pink bracelets.
Beatrice looked at the camera and smiled. "Hey there, mermaid fans! Do you like mermaids as much as I do and would you like to swim around as a mermaid or merman for a day? Then Mermaids of Muskoka is for you!" Beatrice spoke to the camera before the boat stopped at the location for the promotional video, and Beatrice jumped off the boat and into the water as Beatrice swam over to a nearby rock where four young women dressed as mermaids were sitting.
The first woman was Caucasian and had blond hair tied into a ponytail with blue eyes and wore a blue mermaid tail with a blue seashell bra to match. The second woman was African-Canadian, had black dreadlock styled hair with brown eyes and wore a wine red mermaid tail with a wine red seashell bra to match. The third woman was Caucasian, had light green hair and hazel eyes and wore a green fishtail with a green seashell bra to match and also wore a silver necklace with a silver star attached to it around her neck. The fourth woman was brown skinned, had short brown hair and black eyes and wore an orange fishtail with an orange seashell bra.
Beatrice then sat down on the rock with the four mermaid performers. "Mermaids of Muskoka as some of the best trained mermaids in all of Canada who will guide you through your day as a mermaid or merman. They will work their mermaid magic on you..." Beatrice continued to explain as the mermaid performers moved their hands towards her and her legs began glowing light blue before a bright light flashed, and Beatrice's legs were replaced with a pink mermaid's tail and a pink seashell bra to match.
"And then you're ready to spend your day as a mermaid or merman! Want more info? Contact Mermaids of Muskoka today and start your adventure!" Beatrice said as the mermaid performers waved at the camera and they dove into the water with Beatrice and swam off. The screen then faded to black again.
"And that was it for our sponsors for tonight's Aftermath! We would like to thank our sponsors for making tonight's Aftermath possible! If it weren't for you guys, we wouldn't have been able to bring you tonight's aftermath!" Danny told the audience with a smile.
Rooney smiled and nodded in agreement before looking over to the peanut gallery and seeing that the security guards had managed to break up the fight between Duncan and Scott. "Ah, and it appears that the fight between Duncan and Scott has been broken up! We'll be right back with the next segment of tonight's Aftermath!" Rooney told the audience before the screen faded to black.
The scene then cut to Lindsay, Lightning, Jo, Sam, Sierra, Duncan, Courtney and Scott standing on a large game board. "Welcome back to Total Drama Aftermath! It's now time for tonight's main event: The Revenge of the Action Race!" Danny told the audience with a smile.
"You see, we not only brought this season's interns to tonight's Aftermath for them to provide commentary on our eliminated contestants. We also brought them here for a chance to claim a spot in the merge of Total Drama: Revenge of the Action!" Rooney continued as the audience gasped in shock.
"That's right! Two of the eight interns for this season have a chance to go from intern to contestant for this season! But in order for those two interns to claim a spot in the merge, the eight interns will have to battle it out in this board game we've set up for them!" Danny explained.
"Heh, this reminds me a lot of that board game challenge they played during one of the World Tour Aftermath episodes." Veronica chuckled.
Karen smiled and nodded. "Yep. I wonder who the two lucky interns are gonna be." She replied to Veronica.
"Guess we're about to find out." Jackson chimed in in his usual calm and soothing voice.
"Alright, let's get this show on the road! Here's how the board game works: We will roll the dice for you, and you have to move ahead the assigned amount of spaces. If you land on a green space, that means you have to participate in a mini-challenge, and if you complete the mini-challenge successfully, you can resume the board game, but if you fail to complete the mini-challenge, then you're unfortunately out of the board game and have lost your chance at claiming a spot in the merge for this season. The two interns to make it to the end of the board and complete their final mini-challenge will claim a spot in the merge." Danny explained to both the interns and the viewers.
"Everyone got that? Well then, without further ado, let The Revenge of the Action Race begin! And Lindsay, you're up first!" Rooney told the blond Total Drama alumni with a smile before he proceeded to press a button on his remote, and a large white dice appeared on a screen behind him and Danny as it began rolling before stopping on a 3.
"Alright, Lindsay. You have to move forward three spaces now." Danny told Lindsay.
"That shouldn't be too hard! Here goes!" Lindsay cheered before she began to move forward three spaces before landing on a green space.
"Alright, a green space! It's time for a mini-challenge!" Rooney beamed as he proceeded to pull out a card to see what the mini-challenge was. "It's time for a quick game of Dance Dance Revolution! Lindsay, if you can complete this game of Dance Dance Revolution without missing a single arrow, you'll be allowed to continue the board game. You got that?" Rooney asked Lindsay.
"Sure, that shouldn't be too hard! Let's go!" Lindsay cheered once more as she stepped on the Dance Dance Revolution as it turned on. Music then began to play as Lindsay played the game. At first, she was surprisingly good at keeping up with the game, but eventually, she began to get overwhelmed and proceeded to miss an arrow, causing the machine to make a buzzer sound.
"Lindsay, I'm sorry to say this, but you're out of the board game." Danny told Lindsay with a frown.
"Awwww...I really wanted to rejoin Total Drama for another run..." Lindsay frowned before she walked over towards the peanut gallery with her head hanging down.
"No hard feelings towards her, but I knew that she wouldn't make it very far into the board game." Veronica whispered to Karen, who nodded in response.
"Lightning, it's your turn." Rooney told Lightning as he proceeded to roll the dice for the muscular black teen as the dice on the screen landed on a 6.
"Alright, move ahead six spaces." Danny told Lightning who did as he was instructed. Lightning landed on a regular space, so he didn't have to do anything for this turn.
"Just a regular space. You don't have to do anything for this turn." Rooney told Lightning.
"Pssh, this is too easy! Lightning wants a real challenge in getting his spot in the merge!" Lightning scoffed as he crossed his arms and pouted.
"If you want a challenge, I'll give you one, Usain Dolt. It's my turn now." Jo smirked as Rooney began to roll the dice for her, and the dice landed on a 4.
"Move ahead four spaces." Danny told Jo, who nodded as she did as instructed. The scene then cut to the next turn for all the remaining interns, as they had all landed on regular spaces.
"Alright, Lightning. It's your turn again. Let's see if you'll be able to land on a challenge space this time." Rooney told Lightning as he rolled the dice for him, and the dice on the screen landed on a 5. Lightning then proceeded to move ahead five spaces, and landed on a green space.
"Let's see what the mini-challenge is this time." Rooney smiled as he took a card and read it. "Beat Sasquatchanakwa in an arm wrestle. Do you think you can handle that, Lightning?" He asked the muscular black teen.
"Sha-Yeah! No one can beat Lightning in an arm wrestle! Bring that Sasquactchanakwa puppy onto the stage! Lightning's gonna crush him in this arm wrestle!" Lightning cheered as Sasquatchanakwa made his way onto the stage and sat down on a stool in front of a table. Lightning sat down on the stool on the other side of the table and put his human hand into Sasquatchanakwa's large yeti like hand.
"I'd be surprised if Lightning would actually be able to beat that thing in an arm wrestle." Geronimo whispered to Holly.
Holly nodded in agreement. "Yeah, me too. Just look at that thing: It's about the size of an Orc!" She whispered back.
"Alright, you two ready for an arm wrestle? Ready, set, go!" Danny announced as Lightning and Sasquatchanakwa began to arm wrestle it out. While Sasquatchanakwa was definitely stronger, Lightning eventually managed to get the upper hand on the large beast through sheer determination and willpower and slammed Sasquatchanakwa's hand down on the table, and the muscular black teen raised his arms in victory.
"Sha-Lightning!" Lightning exclaimed as the audience cheered for him.
"And Lighning has completed his mini-challenge and gets to advance further into the game! And as an added bonus for successfully completing his mini-challenge, Lightning gets to roll the dice once more! Well, I will, but you get the idea!" Rooney beamed as he rolled the dice for Lightning once more. The dice proceeded to land on a 4. Lightning then moved ahead four spaces and landed on a regular space.
"Alright, Jo's turn again!" Danny announced as Rooney rolled the dice for Jo once more. The dice landed on a 3, and Jo moved ahead three spaces and landed on a green space. "And Jo lands on a green space as well! Let's see what mini-challenge we have in store for her!" Danny announced as Rooney pulled out a card and read it.
Rooney looked a little disgusted at the sight of the mini-challenge. "Drink a glass full of blended cockroach juice." He read out loud.
"Ewwww!" Everyone exclaimed in unison.
Jo scoffed at that. "If it means getting into the merge of this stupid season, I'll drink anything. Gimme that drink!" She replied as she crossed her arms.
"Well, okay then..." Danny uneasily replied before he took out the glass of blended cockroach juice and handed it to Jo. Jo proceeded to down the whole thing in one go as everyone proceeded to look terrified at what Jo just did, and some people gagged, some barfed but swallowed their barf, while others couldn't hold in their barf and let it all out.
"Well, Jo has successfully completed her mini-challenge, so she advances into the board game!" Rooney announced as he proceeded to roll the dice for Jo once more as the dice landed on a 2. Jo then moved ahead two spaces and landed on a regular space.
"Okay, it's Sam's turn!" Danny announced as Rooney rolled the dice, and it landed on a 6 as Sam began to move ahead six spaces and landed on a green space. "Okay, let's see what Sam's mini-challenge is!" Danny exclaimed as Rooney took out a card and read it.
"Dodge seagulls that will be shot at you by Veronica. If you dodge every single seagull that Veronica will shoot at you within a minute, you'll advance further into the board game, Sam." Rooney told the gamer guy.
"My continuous video game playing has heightened my reflexes, so this should be a piece of cake." Sam smiled as he got ready while Veronica got up from her seat and was given a seagull gun by Danny. Veronica then stood at a bit of a distance from Sam.
"Just know that I won't be going easy on you just because I'm a good sport about losing. I'm still a bad girl and a delinquent, y'hear?" Veronica told Sam.
Sam nodded to Veronica. "I understand, Veronica. Now get ready to shoot some seagulls at me!" He replied to the delinquent.
"With pleasure." Veronica smirked as she began to fire seagulls at Sam, who began to dodge them thanks to his heightened reflexes as the rest of the people present in the Aftermath studio were impressed.
"Wow, look at him go!" Nancy exclaimed.
"Tell me about it!" Moon replied. Veronica continued firing seagulls at Sam until she was out of seagulls and the minute was up. Sam had managed to dodge every single seagull Veronica shot at him.
"Congratulations, Sam! You managed to dodge every single seagull that Veronica has shot at you! You advance further into the board game!" Danny congratulated the gamer guy as Rooney rolled the dice for him once again, and the dice landed on a 5 as Sam moved ahead five spaces and landed on a regular space.
"Sierra, your turn!" Rooney told the Total Drama superfan as he proceeded to roll the dice for her, and the dice landed on a 4 as Sierra moved ahead four spaces. She proceeded to land on a green space.
"Alright, let's see what your mini-challenge is!" Danny told Sierra with a smile as Rooney proceeded to read the next card.
Rooney looked disgusted at this. "Oh, this is another gross one: Lick Sam's armpit." He spoke.
Sierra herself also looked disgusted at this. "I'm gonna have to refuse this one. I would do a lot for Total Drama, but I'm not going to lick an armpit." She said as she walked over to the peanut gallery and sat down there.
"Alright, looks like Sierra is out of the board game as well." Danny remarked as Rooney nodded in agreement.
"Alright, Duncan. Over to you." Rooney said as he rolled the dice for the delinquent as it landed on a 1. Duncan moved ahead one space, which was just a regular space, so he didn't have to do anything.
Duncan scoffed. "Pick up the pace, slowpokes. All this standing around and waiting is boring me to pieces." He said as he crossed his arms.
"Sorry, man. That's the pace you get when you have 8 people compete in a life size board game." Danny gave a shrug.
"Yep. It's now Courtney's turn." Rooney nodded before rolling the dice for Courtney as it landed on a 3. Courtney moved ahead three spaces and landed on a green space.
"Alright, another green space! Let's see what Courtney's mini-challenge is!" Danny said with a smile as Rooney pulled out another card and proceeded to read it.
"Play a game of Total Drama trivia. If you can get three questions right, you will proceed with the board game. But if you get one single question wrong, you're out of the board game." Rooney explained to Courtney.
Courtney sighed. "I may be a smart individual, but trivial challenges are not exactly my strongest suit...Guess I'll just have to give it a try. Bring on the first question." She said.
Danny nodded as he pulled out the trivia cards. "Which camper ended in 4th place in Total Drama All-Stars?" He asked Courtney.
"That would have to be Gwen." Courtney replied.
Danny nodded once more. "Correct. Next question: What was the name of the song that was performed in the Total Drama World Tour episode "Can't Help Falling In Louvre?"" He asked Courtney.
Courtney thought a bit. "Paris in the Springtime?" She asked, being unsure if her answer was correct.
"Correct. If you get this next question right, you may proceed with the board game. Final question: Which Total Drama contestant is friends with someone of the same name as another contestant?" Danny asked Courtney.
Courtney groaned as she tried very hard of an answer, but couldn't think of anything. "I give up..." She said with a frustrated look on her face as she walked over to the peanut gallery and sat down as she scowled and crossed her arms.
"And Courtney is out of the game as well. Now it's Scott's turn." Rooney said as he rolled the dice for Scott as it landed on a 5. Scott moved ahead five spaces and landed on a regular space.
"By the time this board game is finished, Chris will already have given away the million dollar prize to one of the 10 remaining contestants." Scott jokingly said.
"If you boys can't handle awaiting your turn, don't play any board games." Moon giggled.
"Bite me." Scott replied to her. It was now Lightning's turn again. Rooney rolled the dice for him, and the dice landed on a 4. Lightning moved ahead four spaces and landed on another green space.
"Alright, let's see what we have in store for Lightning this time." Rooney said as he pulled out another card. "Solve a giant Rubik's Cube within 5 minutes to proceed to the next round of the board game." He read out loud.
"That shouldn't be too hard for Lightning! Lightning's got the strength of a lion and the speed of a cheetah! He could easily solve this cube with his eyes closed!" Lightning cockily said as the giant Rubik's Cube rose from a platform on the stage, and the muscular black teen got to work on solving the cube.
About 5 minutes later, Lightning had failed to solve the giant Rubik's Cube, and he looked frustrated. "Aw, man! Why did they make this cube so difficult to solve? Just to spite Lightning?" He asked in frustration.
"Looks like you got the strength of a lion and the speed of a cheetah, but also the brains of a sloth." Duncan chuckled.
"Oh, go fuck yourself!" Lightning replied to him as he crossed his arms.
"Lightning, I'm sorry to say this, but you're out of the board game." Danny butted in.
"Sha-Lame!" Lightning replied again as he walked back to the peanut gallery and sat down with an annoyed look on his face.
"And then there were four. Which two interns out of these remaining ones will claim their spot in the merge? Let's find out. It's Jo's turn." Rooney said as he proceeded to roll the dice for Jo, which landed on a 6, and Jo moved ahead six spaces before landing on another green space.
"Alright, another green space! Let's see what Jo's next mini-challenge is!" Danny smiled as Rooney pulled out the next mini-challenge card. "Eat a slice of two week old unrefrigerated pizza..." He said with a look of disgust on his face.
"Ewwww!" Everyone exclaimed in disgust once more.
"I will do anything to get that spot in the merge. Gimme that slice of pizza!" Jo demanded.
"Are you really sure, Jo? If you eat this, it could have disastrous effects on your intestines." Danny said with concern for Jo's health.
"If that slice has me on the toilet all night, I don't care. I'm eating it." Jo said as she crossed her arms.
"Well, okay then..." Danny gulped as he pulled out a slice of two week old unrefrigerated pizza and handed it to Jo. Jo then proceeded to quickly eat the slice of pizza, and everyone except for Jo proceeded to barf in disgust.
"That is so gross!" Karen muttered as she wiped her mouth.
"I know, right? Is there anything she won't do?" Jackson wondered out loud in his usual calm and soothing voice.
"Man, Jo has some serious stones to be willing to eat something that's been unrefrigerated for that long." Geronimo said with widened eyes.
"Tell me about it! I don't think even Karen would've done such a thing!" Zeke agreed.
After Danny and Rooney were done barfing, the boys proceeded to wipe their mouths and shudder. "Alright...Well, Jo has passed her mini-challenge, so she moves on to the next round." Danny said as Rooney proceeded to roll the dice for her once more, and the dice landed on a 2, and Jo moved ahead two spaces before landing on a regular space.
"Okay, it's Sam's turn again!" Rooney spoke before rolling the dice for the gamer guy, and it landed on a 5, and Sam landed on a regular space. "A regular space. Only time will tell if Sam's next move will land him on a green space." Rooney added before rolling the dice for Duncan, and it landed on a 4, so Duncan moved ahead four spaces and landed on a green space.
"Alright, let's see what Duncan's mini-challenge is!" Danny spoke as Rooney proceeded to pull out the next mini-challenge card and read it.
"Eat as many sticky buns as you can without vomiting to pass to the next round of the board game." Rooney told Duncan.
Duncan growled. "Sure, remind me of how I was led to my downfall in Total Drama Island just to spite me." He muttered before sitting down at a table, and Danny proceeded to put down a big plate of sticky buns in front of him.
"Remember, if you vomit, you're out of the board game." Danny warned Duncan before the delinquent began eating sticky buns. He stuffed sticky bun after sticky bun in his mouth, chewing them up and swallowing them.
"Look at him go! He's eating those sticky buns as if he was drinking water!" Ashley remarked.
"Yeah! Maybe he's been taking lessons from Owen?" Lindsay pondered out loud.
"Maybe! If it were interesting enough to put on my blog, I'd definitely do so!" Sierra chimed in.
About 5 minutes, Duncan was lying on his back on the ground, groaning as his stomach was bloated. "Ugh...I think I ate too much of that stuff...But...at least I didn't vomit..." Duncan groaned once more.
"Do you think you'll be able to continue competing in the board game with such a bloated stomach?" Danny asked him with a worried look on his face.
"Of course I can...I just need to- Ow, ow, ow!" Duncan exclaimed as he tried to get up, but that caused his bloated stomach to ache.
Danny and Rooney looked at each other before giving each other a nod of agreement and turning back to Duncan. "I think it's better if you drop out, dude. I don't think you can compete in the game any further like this." Rooney told the delinquent.
"Aw, fuck..." Duncan groaned before some medics rushed onto the stage, placed Duncan on a brancard and rushed him off the stage. Courtney looked worried at the sight of this.
"Poor Duncan...I hope he'll be alright...Wait, why am I feeling sorry for that cheating jerk?" Courtney asked herself.
"I think that despite your breakup, you still care for him. Heck, maybe you even still have feelings for him." Zeke pointed out.
Courtney crossed her arms defensively. "Absolutely not! I wouldn't ever have feelings for that cheating jerk ever again after he made out with Gwen in the bathroom on the Jumbo Jet!" She scoffed.
"Whatever you say." Zeke shrugged before turning his attention back to the board game.
"Alright, it's now up to Jo, Sam and Scott to duke it out for those two spots in the merge of this season! Who's it going to be? Let's find out!" Danny continued the show as Rooney proceeded to roll the dice for Scott, and the dice landed on a 2, so Scott moved ahead two spaces and landed on a green space.
"Alright, let's see what Scott's mini-challenge is!" Danny announced as Rooney pulled out the next mini-challenge card.
"Have a wrestling match with Fang the Shark." Rooney read out loud as the mutated shark proceeded to rise from a platform onto the stage, and he grinned and waved at Scott.
"Oh, hell no! I'm not fighting him! Those other two losers can have their spots in the merge! I will do anything for a spot in the merge, but I won't fight that stupid shark! He's probably still out for blood after I stole that tooth from him!" Scott said in a frightened tone before running off the stage as Fang gave chase to him.
Danny and Rooney were surprised that Scott would just give up like that but shrugged it off and turned to the camera. "And with Scott dropping out, that means that Jo and Sam will be joining our 10 remaining contestants in the merge! Congratulations, you two!" Danny told Jo and Sam as the audience cheered for them.
Jo chuckled. "I knew I would make it." She smirked.
"Whoa, I made the merge in Total Drama for once?! Awesome!" Sam cheered.
"You two can get going and prepare to join our other merged contestants next week!" Rooney told Jo and Sam, who nodded as they left the stage to do so. Danny and Rooney then turned back to the camera.
"And with that, we've come to the end of the first Aftermath of the season! We want to thank Nancy, Jackson, Moon, Karen and Veronica for joining us here as guests, and we want to thank Geronimo, Holly, Ashley, Zeke and all of the interns for joining us in the peanut gallery and participating in our board game!" Danny told the audience. "I'm Danny!"
"And I'm Rooney!" Rooney chimed in.
"And we hope to see you all again for the next episode of...Total...Drama...Aftermath!" Danny and Rooney finished in unison.
