"Sam is next, and he was the ONLY person in the entire cast to thwart one of your plots, and he didn't even realize it, by single-handedly winning that challenge on your first season. It didn't seem like you liked him very much," explained Josh, who passed Scott a picture of the curly-headed redhead.

There was shockingly no reaction from Scott, "I just thought Sam was annoying, with very little redeeming qualities. He lied about being stronger and smarter than he was, he had lice which went everywhere, but I was supposed to be the dirty one, and he bonded with the people that I didn't care for immediately, like B and Cameron. I didn't think much of him for the first few weeks, until Dakota gassed his head up, and made him feel good about her giving him attention, since she lied about Lightning and I wanting her, and us being rejected by her. He started making a lot of sly comments around camp, and it was annoying, since he wasn't all that he was cracked up to be. I now give him props for winning that challenge, when I was trying SO HARD to throw, but it caused his ego to grow even more. Sam made fun of my hygiene and background, so I made fun of his weight and lack of manliness. It was a back and forth thing, but he wanted to make it seem like Brick, Lightning and I bullied him."

"How did you react to him being on "All-Stars"?"

"It was a fucking joke. He was NOWHERE NEAR a fan favorite, and Brick lasted longer than him, while being a fan favorite. It was clearly the trio trying to have the casting in their favor by putting someone who was closer to them than the others from our cast, and demanding people to get cut. I let him know VERY CLEARLY that he was pity casting, and that the trio are only going to use him as fodder bait, where I was proven correct. As I was fighting Cameron at Playa, Sam JUMPED me, though it took me about a half hour to realize who it was. Because of him being a weak ass bitch, I had to fight him a day or two later for being a jump-a-hoe. He made fun of my relationship issues, and I mentioned how Dakota regretted getting with him, and how she was probably having a train ran on her monster ass while we fought. Haven't dealt with him since."

Another picture was placed on the table, but it was of the first boot, "What do you think of Staci, who was on your team during the one episode she was a part of?"

There was no expression on the redhead's face, "She was annoying as hell from the very beginning, to the very end. It was clear that even production was sick of her, since they ignored our win, just so we could send her home. I remember her stating that I came from a long line of trailer trash hicks, and that there was some sort of incest in my family, which she was spreading around to MANY people, and this happened after the season even filmed. Luckily for me, I never had to deal with her for long, since I was not at Playa for long, I had other concerns, and didn't have many opportunities to speak with her when the cast got together. She's also another anchor to Dawn and B, and I'm sure she helped spread their sick narratives, so it's fuck her as well. Irrelevant."

"And last, but MOST CERTAINLY NOT LEAST is ZOEY," Josh dramatically announced, as he passed the picture of her to Scott. "So there has been A LOT of discussion throughout these interviews about there being some sort of mutual attraction between the two of you, that kind of culminated in the middle of the season, when the infamous love triangle happened. I have YET to hear any of it from the two people who were directly involved, so I want you to explain it."

A nervous sigh comes out of his mouth, "Listen, Zoey was definitely attractive, I won't deny it. And she did tell me that I was attractive during the season, but we never had anything romantic whatsoever. We actually got along for a majority of the season, as we both came from small towns, were not rich, and have a lot of farm experiences, and there was no one else on the cast like that. Mike was PAINFULLY JEALOUS that we were even speaking, and this was before Anne Maria came into the picture. Due to this, Zoey kept her distance, which was fine because I needed to handle some roaches on the Toxic Rats. But after he was flirting with Anne Maria, she decided to speak to me more, and I knew that building relationships with others from the Mutant Maggots was smart, since the merge was coming sooner or later. On the show, you see me act sad about Dawn being voted out behind my back, and she comforted me, as she believed me. A LOT of context was missing from that. Anne Maria found out that I was the one who framed Dawn, meaning I technically took her hairbrush, and we had a VIOLENT confrontation, where she attacked. I think Zoey believed me because she didn't want to believe Anne Maria, and wanted to stick it to her and Mike, so I do think she used me to piss them both off. I gave her a bit of personal and a bit of strategic information to keep her in line, and for her to think that we were closer than we really were, though I did enjoy speaking to her. We did... have a moment after the double where she said that she wished she did give me a try, and I said in another world, it could have worked."

"So you BOTH were flirting with one another. Do you think that this flirting caused you to go HARDER at Mike in the next few rounds, and why Zoey got SO UPSET with you once the truth was revealed? You used her when she was at her most vulnerable, and it does seem like you were mad that she chose Mike," Josh called out, though he was interested in the development, "I wonder why they didn't show any of this."

"Because they didn't want her to look like the flirtatious, and a slightly manipulative woman. Despite EVERYTHING, I STILL didn't lie to her as much as Mike did throughout the season. So I eliminated Mike, after she was BEGGING for me to vote out Jo, since Zoey wanted to be the last woman standing so bad, we got into a VERY heated argument, and she did get violent with me, which of course they didn't show. She claimed I manipulated her feelings, and all of the flirting that took place when her relationship with Mike was at it's worst, and I told her that he STILL lied to her more than I did, and I said that he was going to be fucking Anne Maria in Playa des Losers, where she will thank me for her realizing what a jerk he was. Instead of understanding that I made a GAME MOVE, and NOT a personal move, all she did was attack me personally. She yelled that I came from a family of retards, who breeded with one another for 10 generations, how I would never amount to anything outside of being a part of the trailer park, I would die of food poisoning, and my family was going to disown me like Alejandro's did. I will say that my biggest fault in that season was getting too laser-focused on Zoey, and I didn't see the bigger picture. It was a goal of mine to personally take her out of the game, and I ignored everything else that was happening. There was so much back and forth throughout those next two weeks, and things got VERY ugly. I held A LOT of resentment towards her for the next year, especially as her mental breakdown caused my paralysis."

He was interested in hearing how things took place next, so he wasted no time with his next question, "So how did you get to a place with her where you two were cordial in the next season, and you both made it to the virtual end of that season? We didn't get any explanation for it on the show. You two had SOME sort of bond, and then you both got VERY furious with one another."

There was a long silence before he decided to respond, "One thing I will say about Zoey is that she does not hold long grudges. By the time "All-Stars" started, I wanted to move on from the stuff that happened in "Revenge", and I guess she did as well, though we never spoke about it until a few weeks in. I think she pulled me aside, and we had a long talk about everything that happened, and I told her that I am physically better, and I don't have time to be thinking about what happened, as there were other villains who were too caught up on the past. I told her that I did hold her responsible for my paralysis, but I admitted that I did push her mentally. We both apologized, and essentially moved on. I didn't hear about her talking about me, unlike her two friends, and I didn't talk about her, as I was focused on Courtney. I knew one of the reasons why Courtney targeted her so hard was because of the history that she was told about us, though there was nothing going on, but because she was very paranoid due to Gwen, it drove her crazy. Zoey and I laughed about some of the stuff that happened in the past during that season, and we talked about a lot of the early boots. We aren't friends today, but we can have conversations when in group settings, laugh, and joke around. She's alright in my book."

"Okay, we are going to talk about the people you competed with on the fifth season, and the first person is Alejandro. From what he said, you two did not get along, but there was some sort of betrayal, and feud because of some lie about both of your injuries," the interviewer explained, as he handed a picture. "It seemed like you two attempted to trauma bond, but something went wrong."

Scott groaned and rolled his eyes, "Al is full of shit, and he was always full of shit. He was the main person I was referring to when I said that there were some villains that were too bitter and blinded by it to see the forest in the trees. I tried calling him after my season so I could sue the show, but he blew me off. Us talking about our injuries, and having our casts hate us seemed like a good way to form some sort of bond or allegiance. He didn't get how I was able to move on from it and with my cast, and he was ANNOYED that I was able to move on. I remember him describing how he was going to get back at all of the guys from his cast that fought him on the yacht, went ON AND ON about how he was jumped, he was bragging about getting the network to ban all of them but Duncan to be on the season, and there was just something REALLY DARK about him. He was bitter against the guys, some of the girls from his season, and was still bitter at Heather. Al got mad that I was growing closer to Courtney, because he knew she would call out his lies, and she explained that he provoked everyone on the yacht, started all of the fights, and he used her PRETTY BADLY in REAL LIFE for no reason, which caused her to have a breakdown on the yacht, which he didn't take accountability for. She told me that Alejandro was better physically, because he was walking around at the yacht, and was able to physically fight people. I asked Al about this, and it caused a HUGE blowup, because he claimed I thought he was lying, but his reaction showed me that he WAS lying."

Josh wanted to add some insight, "From what I was told, it came off like you were intimidated by him and her having some sort of relationship in between seasons, and you were telling everyone about his fake injuries. We also saw on the show that you thought he convinced Cameron to kiss Courtney. That makes no sense."

"BECAUSE IT DIDN'T HAPPEN, THAT'S WHY IT MAKES NO SENSE. EVERYONE was already talking about him exaggerating his injuries, especially since he was walking around with his hands, and it seemed too dramatic. Once he revealed that he was faking up to that time, I took that shit REALLY PERSONALLY, because he tried to bond with me over our injuries, and he was lying THE ENTIRE TIME. We got REALLY HEATED at the merge party, because he was throwing all of that in my face, and I told him about himself. He was also mad that Duncan and I didn't have any issues, and we were about to get physical, but then Duncan and him started fighting, and they went to blows. I was done with him after that, though he did swing on me at one of the "All-Star" parties. The bitch swung and missed, because he fought everyone else, and I was the last person. I literally laughed, and moved on to talk to Courtney in private."

He went on to grab another picture, "We are going to save Courtney for last, since I always save the love interest last in these interviews, meaning we are going to move onto her ex Duncan. How was it like dealing with him, while you were getting to know the woman he was with?"

There was a furrowed brow for a moment, before he relaxed, "Honestly, it was a bit weird at first, since there was still that awkward triangle drama that was being brought up, mainly by Gwen. Courtney wanted to move on, so she didn't care, and Duncan was going through... a lot. I never thought he wanted Courtney back like the show tried to make it seem like. We actually have a lot in common, and had fun a lot during the off-time with the pranks, shit talking, drinking, partying, vandalizing, carving, and all of that stuff. There wasn't drama between us when Courtney and I had our... thing, but things did get a bit... awkward. He felt like she was doing this to bother him, which did annoy me, and I really didn't want to get involved in all of that drama. Duncan also started deteriorating more and more as the season went on, so we kind of drifted."

"Do you know how he reacted when yours and Courtney's relationship fell apart on the show? And how did you deal with him after the show?"

"They actually did release him from prison just for the appearance in the finale, but he didn't really get a chance to speak to anyone before being put in the balloons. I think a part of him was happy when he saw me trying to talk to Courtney, and she wasn't hearing it. He went back to jail the moment after we flew off in the balloons, but I did send him a few letters for the time he was in there, since he went on some sort of rant about no one in the cast caring about him. After he got out, we still didn't speak much, since he was bitter that Courtney and I were dating, and our relationship lasted A LOT longer than his did with her, though we weren't public AT ALL. She and I broke up, and then he suddenly reached out to me, which I thought was... convenient, but I wasn't going to make it into a thing. We started hanging out and talking a lot more, so we're good friends today."

Josh handed him a picture of the ex of the person we just talked about, "And now that we spoke about Duncan, now it's time to talk about his more recent ex Gwen, who you were also eliminated with. What are your thoughts on her?"

Scott immediately looked miserable once she was brought up, and he was handed a picture, "I thought she was painfully fake from the very beginning to the very end. All she cared about was proving that she wasn't a homewrecker, and the only reason why people paid any attention to it was because she kept on bringing it up. I didn't care to hear any of her victim noises, and she was also a shit strategist, so I just didn't respect anything she had to say. She was mad that I was friends with Duncan, and I tried telling him that Gwen was going to leave him for the cameras, but he didn't believe me. I also tried warning Courtney about Gwen, but Gwen thought I was meddling, and got pissed off at me, but of course they didn't show ANY of that. We went at it VERY HARD after Courtney was eliminated, and that last week had the two of us arguing a lot. She claimed that I was only doing this because I had buyers remorse about Courtney, though no one forced me to vote her out, and I called her out for using Duncan and Courtney to improve her reputation. She mentioned something about my family being trailer trash hicks, and I told her that she was the reason why her father ran away from her family."

A loud gasp came from his mouth, "SCOTT! THAT'S A HORRIBLE LOW BLOW."

"She came for me, and then mentioned about how I was retarded, and that I eat humans. We went back and forth in the premiere, and I called her out for forcing Cameron to claim that he was assaulted, and brought out worse traits of his horrid personality. The loser couldn't take what I said, so she punched me. Gwen showed her true colors, and I'm glad her popularity decreased EVEN MORE."

"What was your experience dealing with the infamous Heather on "All-Stars"? I am sure there's a story there?"

He kind of just shrugged his shoulders, "Not really to be honest. Of course she made her cameo on my season, and she was just a complete, uber bitch, which got old VERY quickly. When I got to compete with her, she was the other person who was just WAY TOO BITTER about the past, and it became exhausting being around her. She complained about Al to anyone who would hear, and she also told these obsessive stories about the people she competed with in the past. There was so much anger and resentment in her, and the game she and her boyfriend had was nauseating. I love trashtalk just as much as anyone, but there needs to be some humor and snark in it, but she just had bitterness and anger. And she was the MOST vocal about making fun of my relationship with Courtney, though I think she was just mad that Courtney moved on from Al, and she couldn't, which I did mention. Heather's a non-factor overall."

Josh took out two pictures, but handed one of them out first, "I don't expect you to have much thoughts on Lindsay, but since you competed with her, she is on the list. What do you recall of your time with her?"

"Well, I do remember her cameo, and she was shading the HELL out of Jo without even realizing it, so I found that funny. Outside of that, and the one episode I did compete with her, I could not believe that someone like her exists on planet Earth," he recalled with bewilderment in his voice. "From the VERY few times we spoke, including when I was at Playa, it didn't go well, and I got why Courtney was so frustrated with her. Lindsay really believes that she can get by in life with her exaggerated and enhanced looks. I feel bad for her."

"So how did you deal with being in the same space as Sierra during the season? I am sure that wasn't easy."

He waved his hand off, "Sierra was a non-factor to me through the season, but her cozying up with Cameron was beyond pathetic, and I knew it was going to bite her in the butt. I just didn't think that it would happen so quickly. She should have known better though, so I didn't feel bad for her. Of course she tried to pry in my business through the season, and I had to shut her down. Honestly, my main interaction came from after the show, where several people from my generation told her about my relationship with Courtney, and the two of us DID NOT want that to be out there, since we wanted to keep this just between us two. We had some communication, and I told Sierra that I would contact Gwen to get ALL of the slanderous info that she knew about her, and would reveal it myself. They were in a HEAVY feud at the time, and there were some things Sierra did not want out there, so she didn't post the story."

He gave out the final picture for the day, "Last, but most certainly not least is Courtney. I don't think it's an understatement to say that the two of you were the most surprising couple to come out of the franchise; NO DOUBT ABOUT IT. How in the hell did it happen, since the show did a poor job at explaining it to us."

A blush started forming on his face, "We started speaking, not in that level, but just general communication-wise right after the finale for my season filmed, and we decided to hang on the first generation yacht for a bit, before going to Playa. We just sat by one another the entire time, and I felt weirdly comfortable. I went to her because I tried asking Al about suing the show, but he didn't respond, since the show was PAYING FOR HIS EXPENSES. Due to that, I got her number, and asked how she was able to successfully sue the show. We had a really great conversation on the phone, and we agreed to meet at the law firm she was interning for. She was so cute, and we had a great conversation about the legal system, as well as the show. Courtney helped me get some settlement money from the producers, and we went our separate ways. Seeing Courtney in her element... brought something out of me then."

"Did you think anything would happen once you got to "All-Stars", and having a good idea that she was going to be there?"

"No, and she wasn't even a focus for the first few weeks we were out there. I was focusing on changing my strategy, being more low-key, and under the radar. When she switched over, I thought that maybe I could get her into being an ally, since the Lightning thing completely failed, I was getting nowhere with Al, and Duncan was switched to the other team. There were moments where she would check me out, and I would catch her, and vice versa. I didn't know how to handle any of it, since I never got into a relationship beforehand. We had such different lives, but I found her to be aspirational, as she knew what she wanted, what she didn't want, was competitive, and would do anything to accomplish her goals. Everything about our relationship on the show was like an elementary school relationship, meaning that it was a fairytale, and nothing was going to last..." he explained, with some sadness in his voice.

Josh raised his eyebrows, and then his eyes lit up, once he remembered something, "So I was told that there was a producer scheme to... get the results they wanted for the people to get to the end, and how... those people did get to the end." He saw Scott get emotional, and look away, "She mentioned that the producers told you a bunch of things that caused you to turn on her because they wanted a Mike and Zoey final 2. We do see in your final episode that you made regretted your decision. What is your side on this?"

Scott refused to look at Josh, or any of the producers, so he looked at the table, "Like... like I said, our relationship was like an elementary school one; things were so great because they were shallow, but it becomes so easy to crumble. The whole Cameron thing happened, and when I asked her about it, she didn't explain it in the best way, so it seemed like she had something to hide, though he wasn't her type WHATSOEVER. I told her about some of the traumas, and how I didn't like being compared to an animal, so seeing that chart was not cool, since it did show her motivations. She said it to my face beforehand, but it seemed like it was more of a joking matter. I was trying REALLY HARD to NOT be "Revenge" Scott, and even when the list happened, she didn't explain herself well at all, so I was just over the situation. So you don't explain yourself or have any remorse, despite all of the stuff I told you, and then your response is TO TARGET ME? I was DONE with her, and had no problem getting rid of her. But when you spend the next week completely isolated like I was, you have a lot of time to think, and I thought that maybe I jumped the gun. Maybe if we had a private discussion, we could have cleared things up, and it wasn't a good strategic choice on my end. I knew I had to do something to make it right. The producers did speak to me, but it was stuff I was thinking about already, though I realized in that final week that I was duped because they DID want that finale result."

He wanted the tea, "So how did you go from that, to dating for several years? And you should have SEEN the way we revealed to her that we knew about your relationship. She tried to deny ALL contact, but we showed her exclusive pictures of the two of you at the premiere party, matching IG posts from the same time and location, going for YEARS. Does it bother you that she didn't want to claim you?"

"No, because we both agreed that we were going to take our relationship to our graves, even after we broke up. After we were freed from the balloons, and even before then on our way to Wawanakwa, I tried speaking to her, especially since she ran away every time she saw me at Playa. On our flight back, I sat next to her, and apologized to her, but she didn't want to hear it. I think some time had passed did her heart so good, and I intentionally dressed as well as I could at the premiere party, so when I approached her again, she couldn't resist, especially since no one else spoke to us at the event. We talked about everything that happened, and neither of us were happy. We ended up having... sex, and from what she told me, one of the pictures shown to her was us cuddling, before deciding to go upstairs," he explained with a HUGE grin on his face, "It was my first time, and... what a way to lose it, right?"

Josh swallowed, not wanting to get into those details, "So how it did come up that neither one of you would post anything about your relationship? How long did you two date, and where are you two today?"

The sheepish smile was frozen on his face, and he couldn't remove it even if we wanted to, "We both woke up the next morning, and agreed that we would take it slow, and to not post or tell anyone. Her relationship with Duncan broke down particularly because of how public and high-profile it was, so she thought that us being low-key would cause us to be more successful. I'm also a private person, and don't like people being in my business, so I was fine with it. I intentionally went to a college that was in her city, but not the same university, so we could have our space, and so people wouldn't speculate. She met my family, and she actually liked them, where my family liked her. She was shocked to learn that I have some high-tier execs in my family, and I wanted to go to school for Business, which she helped me a lot with. I met her family, and they shockingly liked me too, especially with my new makeover. Things started falling apart because I didn't know what I wanted to do when I actually GOT my degree. Discussion about marriage, family, and stuff broke us apart, and we realized that we gave it a good 5 years. We agreed to be friends-with-benefits for a few years after that, but we stopped it recently. We are great friends even today, but your interviews caused a blip, since she blamed me for not being careful, but SHE was the one who spilled the beans."

"Alright, that was very interesting to listen to, and it seems like you two are probably still fucking around, but I'll leave it alone," Josh commented, ignoring the sheepish look on Scott's face. "Anyways, have you dealt with anyone from the first generation not on Season 5, or anyone on the third cast?"

Scott shook his head horizontally, "Not really... I kind of keep to myself. Duncan did bring me around to meet and hang out with Geoff and DJ a few times, but they are not really my people. Outside of the few that I already stated I hung out with, I don't deal with anyone else from the first generation. Rodney I know because he... I really don't care to discuss all of that, and... I had the misfortune of meeting the twins due to some mess that Lightning got himself involved in once I visited him, and... I prefer not to talk about it. Don't deal with that freakshow cast either."

Josh was ready to wrap thing sup, "So here is the final thing that I want you to tell us. What have you been up to since the show ended, and what have you learned from your experience on "Total Drama?"

He thought about it for quite a bit, "Learned? I guess to play nice when you need to, and to let shit go. Being miserable all the time about everything isn't going to get you far in life, but you also have to be tough just in case people fuck with you. I learned how to be more stealthy and adaptable from both seasons, and I use all of that shit in my every day life. And about what I've been up to since the show... Your boy went to school, and became a business major. Dressed up better, so I could be country and professional, so that's kind of cool. I DO BATHE, since I hate when people said that I smelt back in the day, just because I came from the country. Anyways, I invested in quite a few businesses through stock, and I work for a company where I flip properties, but I'm personally starting up a company where we FLIP FARMS, since I don't like the way shit is going down. I get to keep my home background, while also elevating and use my cunningness, or as some people claim is evilness."

He got up to pull Scott's chair back, "Well, thank you for that juicy interview, and I hope things go well for you. Wow you are right; you DON'T smell, and you're wearing some cologne. Courtney had you whipped enough to change your appearance and hygiene."

"Fuck off," he replied, while sticking up his finger, as he got up to leave. "Also, I want the amount of payment that we agreed on before this."
