Total Drama Action (Complicated Chaos)

Chapter 13: Aftermath 2

Recap

Clip #1

Jay: "Another thing, I know you tried to throw the beach challenge, you only got lucky that Tom broke his leg."

Trent: "At least I have a girlfriend. The girl you're crushing on doesn't even like you like that."

Clip #2

DJ: "Stop! I'm gonna do what I should've done long ago! Make mama proud. I'm voting myself off! Chef, is there something you wanna say or do you want me to reveal it."

Chef: "Yes, I proposed an alliance with DJ. We both accepted it. That was why I helped in this last challenge and forced my way in the game."

DJ: "Yes, he's been tutoring and coaching me in the challenges, the guilt is something I just can't take anymore. It's consumed me, I felt trapped and I want out of this game."

Chris: "Okay I am gonna speak up, it's pretty clear that DJ is not changing his mind and as of this moment DJ you are no longer in the running to win the million dollars in this game. Dawn I noticed you didn't have a reaction, did you know about this in advance?"

Dawn: "Yes I did Chris and that's why I myself also want to leave the game as well. I think I need to be there for DJ more than I need to be here in this game."

Clip #3

Topher: (walks over to Sammy) "You have nothing to be sorry for, You did nothing wrong. I consider you a friend, a really good one at that. Damn it, I wish we had more time. (kisses Sammy on the cheek) Bye Sammy."

Aftermath Studio

Noah: "Hey, everyone! I'm Noah."

Gwen: "I'm Gwen. Great to have you back for another super juicy episode of The Aftermath, where we'll be dishing the dirt on Total. Drama. Action!"

[audience cheers]

Gwen: "Wow, there's a lot of love out there, Noah? Not my forte though."

Noah: "No doubt, Gwen."

Gwen: I imagine our audience members would want it to be about love, but there's always some haters, too"

Noah: (Shrugs his shoulders) We may see some of those dudes on today's show. Because on today's show we have Trent, DJ, Dawn, Lightning and Sammy to interview.

Gwen: "We've also got our friends from the first season joining us here in the V.I.P section. Ezekiel, Eva, Justin, Owen, and Heather! Not to mention from this season we've got Staci, Bridgette, Izzy, Tom, and Sadie here too!"

Noah: "Now since today's show is jam packed with a lot of interviews before we begin I would love to hear from the peanut gallery if you have any immediate thoughts about what has happened that doesn't pertain to the guests here today."

Heather: "Yes, I am shocked Beth decided to get rid of Sammy. She seemed pretty harmless overall and I still don't get why she did that move."

Justin: "It has to be jealousy. Besides me Topher is probably the best objectively good looking guy on the cast."

Bridgette: "Subjective, but if Beth was fueled by jealousy and envy makes me so disappointed in her. She should know better."

Owen: "I'm impressed though that Jay didn't completely lose his cool. Little guy looked so disappointed when he saw Beth only felt she hurt Topher."

Gwen: "Does anyone want to talk about the Grips and Leshawna?"

Eva: "I can't believe she actually had the nerve to fake cry. I get why Harold and Jen aren't angry with her but I am shocked Katie isn't mad at her as well."

Sadie: "Well that's Katie for you. It takes a lot to get her angry and hold a grudge,"

Ezekiel: "Let's not forget Brick's little screw up eh."

Bridgette: "I am curious what Tom thinks about that whole thing since it involves his best friend Jen"

Tom: "Really guys. I would rather not."

Justin: "Oh come on, she's your best friend you have to know how Jen feels and how you feel about it."

Tom: "I don't like any of it. I am still convinced that Jen does like Brick and is losing her interest in Rock. But I am so angry Brick tried to do that to my best friend. Right now Jen is mad at him but I know her. She can't stay mad forever and I just do not trust Brick's intentions no matter what he tries to tell."

Heather: "I do have one more thing I wanna say, if the people left in the game aren't careful I can see Topher, Harold or even Jay winning as much as all three of them annoy me. They all are playing like Cody last season, social with many people and always gaming without being an ass."

Izzy: "Izzy agrees, even though I was only on a team with them for a day, Jay and Topher are so cool."

Gwen: "Well that wraps up this segment for this show. Let's get started with our first interview. First up is Trent. Let's take a look at Trent's time in the game."

Noah: "Gladly. Starting off the game Trent managed to perform fairly well placing high in the monster challenge before winning the alien challenge with his girlfriend Katie"

Gwen: "However not being on the same team as Katie this time lead to a spiral for Trent gamewise when he decided to start throwing challenges and while at first no one on the team noticed, Jay caught on during the medical challenge and in an attempt to save himself Jay got Topher on board and Trent himself soon became history."

Noah: "Yep our first guest is a musician, obsessed with the number nine, and was mauled by a bear, give it up for Trent."

Trent: (nervously) "Hi guys."

Gwen: "Why are you acting so nervous?"

Noah: "Well he better be truthful as we have a game called truth or anvil."

Gwen: "Woah wait I did not approve of this"

Noah: "The producers felt an anvil would bring in more ratings."

Gwen: "It also may get Trent a concussion."

Noah: "Not if he tells the truth."

Trent: "Guys I will tell the truth. Trust me I have a lot on my mind."

Heather: "Ooh this should be good."

Gwen: "Shut it Heather. Okay first thing how do you feel about your time in the game Trent?"

Trent: "Many regrets."

Noah: "Why's that, the audience probably loves the whole throwing challenges and being such a gentleman to Katie."

Trent: "While true. I still blew a chance at a million."

Gwen: "I mean, as long as you are honest nothing will bite you in the butt. We do have some questions for you. First question: why did you keep throwing challenges for Katie?"

Trent: "I did because I was so nervous of her being a target and I was always paranoid Katie was one foot out the door unless my team lost. But now that I have time to reflect, my biggest worry now is that Katie may not even miss me and that I am out of a girlfriend because she initially didn't want me to throw challenges."

Noah: "Wow, oh we actually have a never before seen confessional from Katie about you Trent."

Trent: (nervously) "Oh boy."

Confessional: Katie

"So I just found out that Trent was eliminated and that he kept throwing challenges to keep me safe, which is so romantic but I wanted this second try for me to try my best. But that's me. I will always love Trent and I just want him to know I am not disappointed in him, I just wish he didn't feel the need to do this but I understand. Love you Trent."

Back to Aftermath Studio

Audience: "Wow."

Tom: "Okay that was sweet."

Heather: "Gag me."

Gwen: "Trent how do you feel?"

Trent: "Proud to call Katie my girlfriend. I just (tears up) I thought I let Katie down completely and she wanted to break up with me."

Noah: "Riveting, anyways let's look at our second and third guests time in the game. Starting off the season DJ started the season off as a potential frontrunner even after being left out of a 7-5 vote that sent his closest ally out in Tyler. DJ soon found comfort in Dawn but also entered an illegitimate alliance with Chef."

Gwen: "After that Dawn served as the angel to Chef as the devil. Eventually DJ and Chef had to come clean leading to DJ leaving the game and Dawn leaving with him the same night."

Noah: "Our next two guests refuse to eat meat, are peaceful to their core, and make the second and third people to quit the game. Please welcome DJ and Dawn."

(DJ and Dawn walk in as DJ's Mom sits in the peanut gallery)

DJ: "Hi guys."

Dawn: HI"

Gwen: "So DJ, how are you feeling after everything?"

Noah: "What kind of a question is that?! Dude lost a million bucks."

DJ: "Hey, but I have my integrity. And that's worth more."

Ezekiel: "It's not."

Gwen: "Okay, Dawn question for you. Any regrets on leaving the game with DJ since the illegal alliance only involved DJ"

Dawn: "No I don't. I knew when DJ wanted to leave he needed a support system and he and I have bonded pretty well."

DJ: "Awe thanks Dawn."

Noah: "Okay I have a montage to show you two are full of everyone else smelled like a dog park in August, you were wearing spring fresh duds. Chef even gave you Dawn some extra clothes to keep you quiet. Chef gave DJ performance-enhancing vitamins and helpful dairy products while everyone else was forced to eat the rudest slop"

DJ: "You know what I admit to this crap. Yes I cheated the system, am I proud of myself. No, but I did it"

Noah: "Well what about your food DJ what makes them taste so good specifically the sandwiches."

Dawn: "Oh that's simple, he puts Hungarian paprika in the mayo, it apparently makes the sandwich taste great."

Heather: "She's not wrong." (continues eating)

Noah: "Okay one final question, is there something romantic going on between you two our viewers are dying to know."

Dawn: "We are friends, good friends."

DJ: "Yeah we are just friends." (anvil does not fall)

DJ's Mom: (stands up) "This interview is over"

Noah: "Um, no it's not. I am pretty sure the anvil is not working and your son is for sure lying about one of these things."

Gwen: "Noah, back off."

Noah: "No this show is turning into a disaster no fights no tension. I will say at least I didn't screw up enough on national TV to have my mother show up who needs to eat a salad for once" (gets hit by a lettuce and a tomato by DJ's Mom)

(audience gasps)

Trent: "Uh oh."

DJ's Mom: "Let me at him. (Eva and Heather both hold her back) No one talks about my son that way."

Trent: "Um let's take a break. Anyone want a sandwich?"

Gwen: "Security!" (screen fades out)

Back to Aftermath Studio

(everyone sans DJ, DJ's mom and Noah are shown on stage with Trent on the main couch with Gwen)

Trent: (quietly) "Promise me you will get him under control after the show."

Gwen: "I will I don't know what's gotten into him. It's shocking."

Bridgette: "Guys we're back on."

Trent: "Oh hi guys, as you can see Noah is not with us right now."

Gwen: "That's because my lovely boyfriend is getting talked to by the producers while DJ calms his mother down."

Trent: "So for the rest of the show I will serve as guest co-host for the time being."

Gwen: On that note we have our fourth guest Lightning. Let's talk about Lightning's time in the game."

Trent: "Yep, Lightning started the game as one of the 10 newbies with an unknown past with one of the veterans in Tyler but he didn't really ever acknowledge that due to Tyler's early elimination. Picked on the Grips Lightning's strong athletic ability helped his team unfortunately a tragic accident in the disaster challenge when he broke his jaw. Due to this injury and a potential lawsuit Lightning's safety was the first priority and he was evacuated from the game."

Gwen: "Our fourth guest loves to refer himself in third person, once spiked punch, and is recovering from a broken jaw give it up for Lightning"

Trent: "Hey Lightning"

Lightning: "Trent, gothy girl."

Gwen: "Heh, my name is Gwen. Anyway, Lightning, how is the jaw holding up?"

Lightning: "The good news is the Lightning should be able to eat within the next week and I should be fully healed in a few."

Trent: "I assume you wish then that you were back in the game."

Lightning: "Of course I would want that. Getting taken out due to injury was so humiliating."

Gwen: "Okay. One last question, how do you feel about Amy as you guys seemed close?"

Lightning: "She is looked at as just a friend for the Lightning" (anvil falls Lightning ducks) "What was that?"

Trent: "Oh right I forgot to mention we still had the anvil for truth or anvil. So what is the truth Lightning?"

Lightning: "Okay truth is I do kind of have a small crush on Amy, but I respect her and Geoff enough to not do anything about it. If Amy wants to be with him, the Lightning will not do anything to stop that."

Gwen: "Honestly respectful."

DJ" "Same."

Trent: "Okay final guest. Is Sammy. Let's take a look at Sammy's time in the game."

Gwen: "Sammy started this game off quiet watching her sister and her crush bicker, this continued on for a while however she always took Topher's side in the game and was always most loyal to him."

Trent: "Unfortunately for her Topher revealed his friendship and crush on Sammy to an envious Beth and at the next opportunity Beth schemed behind the scenes with Amy and Geoff to send Sammy home on a plurality shocking everyone and cutting Sammy's time in the game short, but she did get a goodbye kiss to the cheek from Topher."

Gwen: "Our final guest shaved her head, watched Saw at the age of 10 and is the younger one of the twins, please give it up for Sammy"

(Sammy walks in awkwardly)

Sammy: "Hi guys. Hi Trent"

Trent: "Hi Sammy we just have some questions for you if you don't mind just be honest because the producers haven't gotten rid of the anvil."

Sammy: "Anvil?! That thing is gonna fall on me?!"

DJ (walks in): "Only if you lie. But trust me, it happens fast"

Gwen: "Oh before we begin DJ how is your mom doing? Has she calmed down?"

DJ: "She's fine, she just never wants to see Noah's face ever again."

Lightning: "Woah I feel like we missed a lot."

Trent: "Okay Sammy, first question, how do you feel about Beth now that you had a day or two to decompress?"

Sammy: "I guess just confusion. I didn't think anything was up with Beth and I thought we were friends. I really hope she can accept that I like Topher and maybe he likes me too."

Gwen: "Any chance you and Beth can be friends post show."

Sammy: "That's for her to decide. I will be down to talk things out but she needs to reach out to me. It's the least she can do."

Trent: "What about Topher? He gave you a little goodbye kiss, gonna pursue something there?"

Sammy: "If he wants too. I actually kind of had a crush on him since even before the show. I do plan on at least keeping a friendship with him at the very least."

Gwen: "Okay final question? Where do things stand with your sister Amy?"

Sammy: "I love her because she's family but beyond that, yeah I have no nice words. She had every right to vote me off since it was either her or I leaving but it is never the greatest thing when someone makes you feel like a burden like Amy does constantly with me."

Trent: "Okay looks like we have some fan questions, first one is for Sadie. How do you feel about Katie and how she is doing in the game?"

Sadie: "I am proud of her, she is laying low, doesn't say too much and finds herself not being targeted while everyone likes her. I wish (sniffles) I wish I would have done that last season."

Gwen: "Okay next question is for Bridgette. How do you feel about Cody and his interning?"

Bridgette: "I don't mind it and I am glad to see him enjoying the time interning since I am sure Chris is making his life hell. I just think he should not tell Tyler anything."

DJ: "Why not tell Tyler anything, he can keep a secret."

Tom: "Nope. Tyler is gonna out Jay having a crush on Beth, Cody just got lucky that Tyler somehow was right about Brick kissing Jen. But no way Tyler can keep a secret."

Trent: "Final thing, let's go around and ask everyone who do you think will be eliminated before the next aftermath (whispers to Gwen) go backstage to your boyfriend I can take it from here."

Gwen: "Sure thing."

Trent: "Okay let's start off with Ezekiel."

Ezekiel: "I think Beth has to be on borrowed time after such a dumb move eh."

Eva: "I agree, but I wouldn't be shocked if Topher aims at Lindsay, weakens Beth and keeps Amy happy."

Heather: "Doesn't Topher hate Amy?"

Eva: "He does, but his anger is at Beth right now and Amy has wanted Lindsay out for a long time now and without Lindsay there it's not like Beth will have anywhere else to turn too."

Sammy: "Why Beth can't realize that Jay is or I guess now maybe was loyal to her is beyond me."

Bridgette: "To be fair Beth said she had a thing for attractive males with model looks. May explain why she is so focused on Topher instead of Jay."

Justin: "Trust me Beth likes people with model looks, I would know, I would love to see Brick be eliminated. He is so wishy washy."

Tom: "Agreed, even if he wasn't all goo goo in love with Jen I still wouldn't like him. He can't seem to make up his mind on anything."

Heather: "I am shocked no one has said Leshawna yes she has Harold on a dog leash and Jen wrapped around her finger but how anyone can trust her after fake crying I don't know."

DJ: "I don't think Leshawna has Harold as much as others think, yes they love each other but Harold is his own person and the dude is smart. I had no idea until watching the episodes that he formed an alliance with Jen and Brick along with Leshawna."

Heather: "But Leshawna is still dead set against Brick."

DJ: "True but Harold is good with his words. Dude had my full trust in Island and even Action. I do wish he would have approached Dawn and I for an alliance."

Heather: "Jealous that Harold chose Brick over you?"

DJ: "No I get why. I had enough to deal with Chef, not that he knew about that. But he is one of the smartest people left"

Bridgette: "Yeah. Does anyone think Geoff could go soon? I am still nervous about his time."

Izzy: "Izzy doesn't think so. Geoff is focused on the good times and Amy, no one wants to get rid of a positive guy like that. I know Izzy wouldn't"

Trent: "Okay that is the end of the aftermath. Thank you peanut gallery. Next time Gwen and Noah will both be co-hosting but for all of us here we are out."

Backstage

Gwen: (walks up to an annoyed: "You and I need to talk, Captain douche."

Noah: "Wow real original."

Gwen: "What has turned you into an asshole. You are sarcastic, not an asshole."

Noah: "How am I an asshole?"

Gwen: "DJ's mother nearly punched you in the face after you implied she was fat."

Noah: "Look I don't want to talk about it."

Gwen: "Okay, next aftermath you get your shit together or we are done."

Noah: "What?"

Gwen: "You heard me. Now if you need me I am going to go talk to Trent about how the end of the show went" (walks away)

Noah: "Damn it Gwen. Damn it Cody."

Author Notes:

So as shown here Noah is kind of going on a similar-ish arc to Geoff in canon but there will be some method to the madness trust me and he won't be an ass the entire time. Also I love having everyone giving their thoughts on the players left as it is a nice touch I wanted to have.

Next episode will be the bank heist movie episode with a fair amount of twists and turns all leading to a shocking elimination that no one will see coming. That being said, it is gonna be a long chapter to write so don't expect it for a while.

Until then enjoy this nice breather of a chapter and leave a review if you want too. Thank you so much for reading this.
