Pichu77 here, had to do some minor tweaking to the cast between the cast reveal and now, just a heads up!
The camera turns on to Chris standing on Pahkitew Island in front of the forest, albeit deactivated entirely. He looked behind him for just a moment, seeing a live deer run past him from behind. Once he got the indication that the camera was rolling, Chris faced the camera with his signature grin.
"Yo! We're back, and better than ever! We've been listening to you guys on social media, so we're going back to handling things the old fashioned way, but with a modern twist! We've got 14 fresh teens here, ready to fight for the million right here on Pahkitew Island!" Chris greeted the camera, pointing right at it with both fingers for a moment.
The camera cut to Chris walking through the woods now with his hands behind his back. "As you can see, things are much more lively this time around! It's been a few years, and actual wildlife has started to develop here, of course after we brought in some animals to help get this place going." Chris stated, with a raccoon passing by him as he said this.
Chris then passed by the confessional, patting the side of it. "We've still got our classic outhouse confessional for those that need to get something off their chest, or lay out some brand new scheme! That is if they're willing to put up with the horrific smells that await inside it!" right after Chris finished talking, the skinny girl intern from the previous seasons stepped out of the confessional, waving away the fumes from it.
Chris chuckled after watching this, then looked at the camera again. "Yep! That element won't go away any time soon! So how will these modern teens fare in it? Find out right here, on Total, Drama, Modernity!" Chris raised his arms with the name of the season, and the camera zooming out to show a full shot of the deactivated Pahkitew Island.
I Wanna Be Famous started up, with cameras popping up from various places on Pahkitew Island. First in front of a waterfall, then out of a hole in a tree, pushing a squirrel out, then out from underneath a river, pushing a frog up on its lily pad, then finally out from under some rocks on a beach, startling a seagull. A film clapper now appeared on camera and clapped, making the camera zoom forward. Chris was standing on another rock, trying to hold both arms up as the camera passed by him, but Michael kept trying to get a picture with Chris, so the host just shoved him away.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Stephen and Kimberly were on Gameguys near the top of a hill, playing against each other furiously, while Lola just watched them with confusion and Rolias couldn't tell what they were doing. Panning further up the hill to the top, Kiyoko was pitching a tent while Hannah and Zachery were dramatically arguing with each other. Hannah eventually just pushed Zachery off the hill on the other side, making Kiyoko look over in shock.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
Even though Zachery had been pushed off the hill, Jesse was still able to save him after leaping off a tree branch and catching him, landing on another tree branch afterward. Mitsuki watched his heroic act, nearly drooling at the sight of it. Now down on the ground in the forest, Courtney was reading a book by herself, before nearly panicking as Kyu ran at her on all fours, baring her fangs. Courtney realized it was Kyu though and sighed with relief, and the two had a good laugh about it. Just past them, Lucas was being followed by Chase, bothering him greatly. The two ran into Scuba Bear though, who promptly exploded as soon as Lucas bumped into him.
The explosion transitioned to night time at the elimination ceremony area. Zachery and Michael were smiling at each other, although Chef soon popped up from behind them with a butcher knife, scaring Zachery away. Chris walked up and laughed at the scare, while Michael and the rest of the cast awkwardly whistled the last few notes of the theme song as the camera panned out to show the title of the season and the rest of the cast.
After the intro sequence, the scene would begin with a shot of Chris's jumbo zeppelin flying through the air, although the sky was clear this time around. Chef was piloting it, looking down as they were getting closer to Pahkitew Island.
Inside the main cabin, the fourteen contestants were dispersed throughout it, sitting and waiting to land on the island. Well, some of them were. One of them was currently digging through one of the crates at the back of the cabin. This was Courtney, a thin but well built girl with designer sandals, casual jeans, a long black and a white stripped crewneck sweater. She had long brunette hair that went down to her shoulders and had soft curls. "Oh hey, there's parachutes in here, nice." Courtney commented to herself as she pulled one out.
Courtney opened it up and peered it inside, while a boy walked up behind her. This was Zachery, a skinny Caucasian boy with forest green curly hair. He was wearing a white t shirt over a bright yellow long sleeved shirt, yellow sweatpants with white stripes going down the sides, white shoes with yellow laces, and yellow goggles with white lenses. "Whatcha looking at in there? Isn't that just the safety equipment?" Zachery asked her.
Courtney stood up after looking inside the parachute a little more, now looking at Zachery. "Oh hello there, I was just checking the parachutes to see if they worked." Courtney replied politely, putting the parachute on her back.
Zachery got a hearty smirk on his face at Courtney's answer, raising a finger. "Ah ah, I know what 'just checking' means, you know something huh?" Zachery questioned her.
Courtney chuckled, rubbing the back of her head. "I guess I do? I'm just a big fan of the show, and last season Chris made the contestants jump from a plane, but some of the parachutes didn't work. I just wanted to check to be sure. You might want to grab one ahead of time too." Courtney advised, pointing down at the crate.
Zachery grabbed one of the parachutes and peeked inside, giving a thankful nod to Courtney. "Thanks girl, hey, what's your name?" Zachery thanked Courtney as he put the lid back on the crate after getting his parachute.
"I'm Courtney Rockefeller, it's a pleasure to meet you. What's your name?" Courtney introduced herself, holding a hand out to shake..
Zachery's eyes lit up at hearing that name. "Courtney? Like the contestant from the earlier seasons? Oh my gosh, that's so cool! I'm Zachery by the way, nice to meet ya bud!" Zachery introduced himself back excitedly.
"Ohhhhkay... I mean, it's just a first name. Kinda common? I'll just go take a seat over there." Courtney replied, then walked away while Zachery sat down on the crate.
As Courtney walked away, she passed by Mitsuki, who he didn't notice at all since she was just sitting by herself on the floor of the zeppelin people watching. She was a very skinny pale girl with long messy black hair that covered her right eye. She was wearing a yellow concealing dress with black arm and leg tights, as well as yellow shoes. She opened her mouth to say something to Courtney, but nothing came to her, so she just closed her mouth and sighed to herself.
Not too far from where Mitsuki was sitting was Lola, sitting on one of the stools and humming to herself. She was a white girl with medium length blonde hair in a ponytail, although messy at the front thanks to her sky blue tennis visor. She was wearing a sky blue tank top, a white skirt, and sky blue sneakers. "Wait, was that how the song went? It can be what I want right? Or is it wrong to hum it wrong?" Lola asked herself, confusing herself in the process.
This weird questioning got the attention of Stephen, who walked over and sat down next to her. "Yo, what are you blubbering about? Why don't you just keep quiet if no one is talking to you?" Stephen demanded, using a jerkish tone right off the bat. He was a fat fair-skinned boy with black hair combed to a side. He was wearing a black shirt with a video game controller on it, blue jeans, red headphones around his neck, blue shoes, and black glasses.
Lola blinked, then casually pointed at Stephen. "But... you're talking to me? Wait, are you saying you're a no one!? You shouldn't say that kind of thing about yourself!" Lola replied, missing the point.
Stephen groaned and rolled his eyes. "No stupid, I just mean shut up! Ugh, all you women are the same, no brains at all." Stephen answered as if it was obvious.
Lola tilted her head. "Hey, I have a brain silly! Wait? Do I? I've never checked actually." Lola replied, even more confused now.
"Pff, you're useless." Stephen insulted her and walked away, although he just left Lola with more questions than answers.
Panning further into the cabin, Hiyoko was on the floor doing squats and counting the reps she was getting in. She was an athletic girl with warm beige skin and a pink ruffled pixie cut. She was wearing a midnight blue hoodie with a shooting star on it with both sleeves torn off. Said hoodie was tucked into her tight denim shorts, and midnight blue over calf socks and a white pair of low top converse. "134... 135!" she counted her squats.
Chase was sitting on the stool a bit behind her, just watching her do her squats with an amused smile. "Yup, doing great." he commented, licking his lips. He was a pale short and scrawny boy with short blonde hair. He had an old scar that went from his left cheek to his nose. He was wearing black sneakers, blue farmer jeans, dark grey T-shirt and a brown hoodie.
Hiyoko heard him and looked back, giving a polite wave. "Oh hi there! You're interested in fitness too? That's really cool! My name is Yoko by the way, what's yours?" Yoko introduced herself excitedly.
Chase shook his head, then casually pointed at her waist. "Nah, just interested in your butt. Keep squatting. Call me daddy if you wanna call me anything." Chase replied smugly.
Yoko narrowed her eyes at him, clenching a fist. "Why you- what's your deal? Are you really going to start the season off like that? Why can't you be nice?" Yoko asked him sharply.
Chase just shrugged his shoulders, leaning back in his stool a bit. "Eh, I just like what I see. You want me to be nice? Alright. Nice butt. There's your compliment." Chase remarked, chuckling afterward.
Yoko stormed off after that, with the dude sitting next to Chase giving him a dirty look now. "Dude, you have issues." he told Chase. This was Jesse Gil, the most dangerous teen in Canada. He was a hot well built Caucasian guy with messy black hair that green streaks in it. He had blue eyes, piercings in his ears and right eyebrow, and a small bit of facial hair on his chin. He was wearing a black jacket with red flames in the middle, a red shirt underneath, denim jeans, and red sneakers.
Chase groaned as he looked over at Jesse. "Right, says the guy who looks straight out of prison." Chase commented sarcastically.
Jesse crossed his arms, glaring at Chase. "That's because I am. I'm the most dangerous teen in Canada. And I can show you why if you keep disrespecting women." Jesse threatened Chase.
Chase wasn't too surprised to hear that though. "You're the most dangerous teen in Canada? Wow, that's cool." Chase again spoke sarcastically.
Jesse nodded his head. "Yeah, I'm Jesse Gil, the most dangerous teen in Canada." Jesse stated firmly.
While Yoko stormed off, she walked by Lucas, who was just sitting by himself at the moment and sizing up the rest of the cast. He was a pasty white boy with a feminine build and black long and straight hair. He was wearing a black unisex t-shirt with several fireballs on it, skinny jeans, white socks, and black boots. He also had several piercings on his nose and on his lower lip.
He was minding his own business up until Michael walked up next to him with his phone open. "Hey! Up next on our blog is another contestant, what's your name girl? You're on the Mr. Dude MeTube channel, so say hi to the audience!" Michael greeted Lucas, camera already in hand.
Michael was a toned white guy wearing a cyan short sleeved jacket over a green mid-length t-shirt, jeans ripped on one of the knees, and red and white tennis shoes. "Can we not do this? I'm Lucy, and I'm not here to be on some MeTube channel, I'm here for Total Drama." Lucas replied, putting one hand over his face to hide it from the phone camera.
Instead of prying further, Michael just lowered his phone. "You got it! Sorry I made you uncomfortable, I'll see if any of the others wanna be on my channel!" Michael apologized right away, then just darted off enthusiastically to find someone else.
Once Michael left, someone else decided to talk to Lucas, this being Kimberly, who was sitting not too far from him. She was a thin but busty Caucasian girl with long and wavy brown hair. She was wearing a white t-shirt underneath a dark blue fleece jacket with stonewashed black jeans, white sports shoes, a pair of black headphones around her neck and a white Adidas cap on her head. "Hey, you're lucky he's not one of the clingy types!" Kimberly joked to Lucas.
Lucas just deadpanned as he looked back at her, making Kimberly awkwardly giggle at her own joke. "Right, sorry, that was kind of unprompted. Point is, I'd never just impromptu stream on my Kimberlilies like that." Kimberly told Lucas, rubbing the back of her head.
Lucas crossed his arms, raising an eyebrow as he faced her. "Kimberlilies? Now just what are those?" he asked skeptically.
"Oh sorry, that's what I call my fans! I don't think there's any here though. I uh, I'm not the best with this talking thing outside of streams. Part of why I came here!" Kimberly explained, again chuckling awkwardly.
Panning further into the cabin, a boy named Rolias was sitting by himself, humming a sea shanty to pass the time. Rolias was white but tanned muscular boy with a black buzz cut. It was covered by the white sailor cap with two blue lines he was wearing, and his outfit also consisted of a dark blue tie triangular bandana, long white zipper pants, black shoes, and a white yolk knit pullover shirt with dark blue stripes. "What do you do with a drunken sailor? What do you do with a drunken sailor? Early in the morning!" he sang, singing to a nonexistent audience.
He soon gained an audience though, as Katrina scurried up to him and waved excitedly. "Hi! UwU! How nya doing? I'm Kyu!" Kyu greeted Rolias, making a pawing motion at the air. Kyu was a skinny yet muscular girl with free wavy long hair that was ginger with a teal ombre. She was wearing a short-sleeved orange shirt with a black lambda sign on her right breast, grey and orange shorts, black boots and cream and turquoise fox ears.
Rolias looked over her attire, slightly perplexed by how she spoke and dressed. "I ain't understood a word you just said lassie, Kyu is it? Nice to meet ya! Name's Rolias!" Rolias still greeted her with the same friendliness, holding a hand out to shake.
Kyu purred, then sat down and nuzzled up against him. "Rolias? OwO. That's a regal name! Not too kawaii, but cool!" Kyu complimented him, although Rolias was still confused by what she was saying.
Someone else was not a fan of how Kyu was acting though, and walked right up to the two. "Hey! That is NOT okay! He did not consent to that nuzzling!" she yelled at Kyu. This was Hannah. A very overweight girl with pale ivory skin, with a half-up bob that went down to her shoulders with straight-cut bangs. The left side was dyed pink, and the right was black. She was wearing a white chiffon blouse with a black accents, a navy skirt, magenta glasses, black stockings, and brown shoes.
Kyu backed off of Rolias as Hannah yelled at her, while Rolias gave a wave of dismissal. "She wasn't hurtin' nobody. What's the big deal?" Rolias asked Hannah.
Hannah glared at Rolias, pointing a finger at him. "As if you get to speak on something like that! Are you trying to perpetuate systemic harassment!? Ugh, you're the worst!" Hannah scolded Rolias angrily.
Before Hannah could lay further into Rolias, a loud buzzer played throughout the cabin, making nearly everyone cover their ears. "Flying over our destination, y'all better be ready!" Chef announced, prompting some to look out the windows and see Pahkitew right below them now.
Chris then stepped into the cabin, waving to the contestants. "Hellllooo teens! You ready to get this season started?" Chris greeted the cast.
"You betcha!" Rolias answered, giving Chris a thumbs up.
Lola hurried over as well, waving at Chris. "Mhmm! Can't wait to get started! You look so much different in person! Like, wow!" Lola greeted Chris, standing just a few feet away from him.
Chris was offput by Rolias, but smiled when Lola greeted him. "Thank you, always good to have my looks recognized immediately!" Chris thanked Lola, then walked past her.
Chase walked up to Lola after that, winking at her. "Hey girl, that outfit looks good on you, but you'd definitely look better without it." Chase threw a pick-up line at her once Chris passed by.
Lola heard him and tilted her head, not quite getting it. Rolias heard it though, sending a cautious look at Chase. "Without it? I don't think so, the visor is pretty good for keeping the sun out of my eyes, and my gear is good for catching sweat when I play. Wait, why do we have outfits that catch sweat actually? Where does it go after it gets absorbed? Hmm..." Lola completely derailed the one-liner, making Chase facepalm.
Chris walked over to the emergency exit in the back of the cabin, then patted one of the crates. "Since we can't land this zeppelin, you guys will have to jump out! Just take one of the parachutes from the crates here and head for the island!" Chris stated, grabbing one of the parachutes for himself.
Lucas raised an eyebrow, getting up from his seat. "Why are you being so upfront about this? I know what you did last season. There's some deadly twist to it isn't there?" Lucas questioned Chris, not buying the simplicity of it all.
Chris shook his head, putting on the parachute he had grabbed. "Oh yeah, budget was too low to buy parachutes for everyone, so half of them don't work! But you'll land in the water, Chef is flying over the water after all. Just don't do any weird aerobatic maneuvers and you'll be fine." Chris added, which caused a relieved smile to appear on Courtney's face.
Hannah marched up to Chris, pointing a finger at him angrily. "CHRIS! You can't just play with people's lives like that! That's disrespectful at best, and beyond psychotic!" Hannah scolded him.
Michael had the opposite attitude though, giving Chris a thumbs up. "Right on host man! This'll be like, totes perfect for a video! Skydiving? That's like, a huge cost normally, and we get it for free!" Michael praised Chris, now preparing to record his dive on his phone.
Chris ignored what Hannah said and just returned the thumbs up from Michael. "Right, you should be grateful! I'll meet you all on the island, I suggest you all jump before Chef has to make you!" Chris ordered, then opened the emergency exit door and jumped out.
As soon as Chris left, the zeppelin began to rumble, making a few of the contestants panic. It stopped after a few seconds though, followed by Chef laughing through the loudspeaker. "Oh, he was just trying to scare us. That's a relief!" Yoko commented.
Stephen looked fairly scared at first, but he then stood straight up when he realized Chef was messing with them. "Maybe for you guys, but I wasn't scared at all. Not one bit." Stephen insisted, getting an eyeroll from Lucas.
The zeppelin rumbled again, and Stephen let out a shriek, although this time it was more warranted. The whole cabin began to tilt toward the emergency exit as Chef steered the zeppelin upward. "Chris wasn't kidding there! Oh the inhumanity of it!" Zachery cried out, already having a parachute that he was now strapping on.
Courtney jumped out first, shortly followed by Zachery. Jesse and Lola were quick to get theirs on as well, jumping out of the emergency exit before it became nearly impossible to keep one's balance. "Hold on! These packs take a second to put on!" Kimberly shouted to Chef as she tried to get her parachute secure.
Everyone else was essentially dumped out of zeppelin, having their parachutes on to varying degrees of security. Chris looked up and saw all the teens falling down, so he pulled his parachute cord, which successfully deployed a parachute with his face on it. "Time to see who got a real parachute!" Chris narrated to the camera, with it panning up to the contestants.
Courtney wasn't stressed at all, and when she pulled her cord, her parachute deployed normally. "Phew! Glad I checked in advance. Always good to think ahead." Courtney said to herself.
Zachery saw Courtney's parachute deploy and sighed with relief, then pulled his cord, which also successfully deployed a parachute. "Thanks for the heads up! Good luck be upon ye!" Zachery thanked Courtney from slightly above.
Jesse didn't pull his cord yet, and Lola waited a bit before pulling her cord as well. When the athlete pulled it, a bunch of tennis balls poured out of the pack and up towards the other players. "Dang, I knew that one felt heavy! Or did I? I guess if I really did, I wouldn't have grabbed it. Wonder why people say stuff like that then..." Lola pondered as she watched the tennis balls fly up.
Several of the tennis balls pelted Lucas, who held a hand in front of his face to try and block them. Once they passed him, he pulled his cord, making his parachute pack successfully deploy a chute. When he looked up though, he saw that the chute was filled with holes and was completely useless. "Great, now I can look like even more of a tool." Lucas commented sarcastically, rubbing his cheek after tossing way his useless parachute since it had been hit.
Michael had his phone at the moment as he fell, recording his dive down towards the island. "Okay guys, moment of truth! I am like... so nervous, like... oh my gosh! Here goes!" Michael told the camera, then pulled his cord.
A bunch of makeup supplies just flew out of the parachute though, making Michael gasp. "How fitting! But like, what a bummer! This phone is waterproof though, so you guys will get to see the whole splash, no worries!" Michael looked on the bright side despite the obvious problem.
Chase pulled his cord, groaning when he saw his parachute pack just release a bunch of hamburgers. "Great, gonna fall into the water. Might get to see some wet shirts from the ladies at least..."Chase grumbled, also trying to look at the bright side.
Mitsuki watched a few people pull their cords, before just deciding to bite the bullet and pull her cord. The parachute successfully deployed though, much to her surprise. "Heh... something good happened for once..." she said, sounding not too happy still, but good enough for her standards.
Rolias pulled his cord, which caused his parachute to deploy normally, much to his relief.. "Argh, that be just what I be lookin' for right about now! Now just gotta stick me landing!" Rolias stated to himself, then looked down to the lake below.
Stephen counted up who had pulled their cords so far, then got a grin. "Looks like mine should be a good one then, since we're going in little bunches!" Stephen observed, then pulled his own cord.
Stephen's pack released a bunch of Gameguy handheld consoles though, making Stephen flail his arms for a moment as he tried to grab one. "Great, no Gameguy, and now no safety either! Just freaking perfect!" Stephen sarcastically exclaimed.
Kimberly opened her pack right after him, which also didn't work and released a bunch of legal documents. She saw the Gameguys flying towards her though and grabbed one. "Well that's convenient! Compensation for falling to my doom!" she stated as she grabbed a couple more of them.
Once Kimberly leveled with Stephen though, he grabbed a Gameguy for himself, glaring at her. "Those came from my pack, so they're MINE!" he declared, reaching to grab another but couldn't reach thanks to Kimberly moving the other couple away from him.
Kyu tried to flap her arms to fly for a moment, before just giving up and pulling the cord on her parachute. It successfully deployed, making the girl howl in joy. "Awooo! My luck worked out!" Kyu exclaimed gleefully as she now drifted down.
Hannah snorted as Kyu got a good parachute, then pulled her cord. It didn't work though, instead releasing a bunch of plastic snakes and monkey barrels. "EW! Why does the predator get a parachute but I don't!? Um, hello!?" Hannah cried out in frustration.
Kyu heard this and bared her fangs at Hannah, making a clawing motion. "That's right! I'm a fierce predator! RAWR!" Kyu replied fiercely.
"YOU ARE SO DEAD!" Hannah yelled at Kyu as she plummeted past the cosplayer.
Yoko now felt comfortable pulling her cord, crossing her fingers for luck as she did so. The parachute deployed successfully, to which Yoko beamed with relief. "Phew! Got the gear I needed!" Yoko exclaimed, wiping the sweat from her forehead.
Jesse was much further below the rest of the contestants, since he still hadn't pulled his cord yet. When he did, his parachute deployed successfully. "Perfect. Now here goes nothing..." he said to himself as he swung his legs back, then swung himself forward.
This swinging stalled him for a moment and let the others catch up to him, as well as send him on a horizontal path as well. He managed to grab Kimberly, Lucas, and Lola, with Stephen clinging to Kimberly's leg as well. As he passed by Chase, Chase grabbed Lola and held onto her, adding to the amount Jesse had saved. "Hang on tight everyone, dunno if I can support this much!" Jesse told all of them, with him descending faster due to all the weight.
Hannah refused help, and Michael was too busy recording his vlog to take the help, so everyone who didn't get a parachute had now been saved. "And here they land now!" Chris narrated, having already landed on the beach.
Michael hit the water first, followed by Hannah right after. Jesse drifted his bunch of people to the beach, with them landing in a heap safely. Yoko landed shortly after that, eyes wide in amazement. "You really saved all of them? Wow, you're super talented!" Yoko praised Jesse.
Jesse nodded his head. "Yep. Don't talk about it though. I'm not a nice guy or anything." Jesse replied coldly.
Everyone else who had parachutes landed shortly after that, with Courtney being the last person to touch the beach just as Michael and Hannah had made it to the shore. "Huh! Everyone accounted for! Just as I expected of course!" Chris stated after doing a quick headcount.
While everyone got up and took their parachutes off, Chris then pulled out a clipboard and wrote down who got what. "Okay! Those of you who got actual parachutes, go stand on my right! Those who didn't, stand on my left!" Chris now ordered.
The teens did as told, and Chris finished writing down who was on what team on his clipboard. He looked to those who got parachutes first, who were currently in a straight line. "Okay! On the right, those who got actual parachutes!" Chris said to the camera, then pointed at them.
"Zachery, Courtney, Kyu, Yoko, Rolias, Jesse, and Mitsuki!" Chris listed them off, with Zachery standing closest to Chris and Mitsuki being the furthest.
"Your team will be... the Lethargic Lions!" Chris announced their team name, with a logo of a green lion yawning appearing above them.
Yoko raised her hand, a little confused. "Lethargic? Shouldn't it be something you know... fiery? Like something cool sounding!" Yoko asked.
"You teens are so lazy these days, so I felt it was pretty fitting!" Chris answered, making Yoko frown, exchanging an annoyed glance with Jesse, who looked to feel the same way about the name.
Chris then turned to the other half of the contestants. "The rest of you, those without chutes. Michael, Lola, Chase, Hannah, Lucy, Kimberly, and Stephen! You all will be known as the Passive Pandas!" Chris announced their team name, then a red logo with a snoring panda appeared above them.
Hannah scoffed at the name, then pointed at herself. "As IF I'm passive! You thought you ate with those names didn't you?" Hannah argued, although no one else on the team was worked up over the name.
"Okay famsquad! Like the video if you're on team lions, subscribe if you're on team pandas! I'm on the pandas, so you should hit subscribe!" Michael told his camera, showing off both teams for a moment.
Kimberly walked over and looked at his camera curiously, waving to it. "Are you going to be streaming the whole time?" Kimberly asked him.
Michael hit stop on his phone and looked at Kimberly, shaking his head. "Nah, I'm just recording the important parts so I can turn it into a sick video!" Michael answered excitedly.
Kimberly giggled, rubbing the back of her head. "That's smart. I kinda wish I brought a camera to stream with then. My fans will watch the show at least, so I have that covered." Kimberly told Michael, then waved to the actual camera.
Chris was confused by this, waving to both of them. "Hey! What are you two talking about? We have a whole camera crew here for the show!" Chris stated.
Michael showed his phone to Chris, pointing at it with his other hand. "Yeah, but vlogging the trip makes content for my channel. Peace and love man, great setup you've got." Michael complimented Chris, throwing the host off more.
"Thanks? You kids are weird, or I'm just out of touch. And I'm definitely not out of touch!" Chris took the compliment, not thinking too deeply on it.
-Confessional: Kimberly-
Kimberly was seated in the Pahkitew confessional, which looked just like it did last time. "Okay, first confessional! Hi my Kimberlilies! That's what I call my fans for those who don't know! Umm, it's pretty cool to be here! Chris isn't that scary yet, and I think I already met someone cool in person! Michael and I are both content creators, so it's nice to have someone to relate to. But like, don't ship us or anything! I know how the art community is with that."
-Confessional Over-
Now that the teams were decided, Courtney raised her hand to speak. "If I may ask, what will our sleeping arrangements be? I don't believe that was specified on the application." Courtney asked, speaking matter-of-factly.
Chris snickered at this question, then pulled out a tablet. "About that... I'm sure anyone who watched last season remembers the awesome treehouse that team Kinosewak put together." Chris began, with the tablet showing a shot of the treehouse that was still perfectly usable.
Chris swiped a screen on the tablet, which showed a shot of what was currently below on the ground below the treehouse. The Drama Machine was stationed there, carrying some kind of mini rocket launcher. "The base of the treehouse is currently being guarded by our Drama Machine! Rebuilt because we couldn't afford a new one!" Chris stated, with the worn out robot clearly having seen better days.
Stephen scoffed as he saw what the Drama Machine was carrying though. "Is that a rocket launcher? Dude, that's so basic. You could have gotten something actually cool, like a Kar98k. It's pretty much the best weapon in Call of-" Stephen began to ramble, although Chris cut him off.
"It's not a rocket launcher. It shoots tennis balls, so I wouldn't worry too much. They'll hurt, but they won't kill you obviously." Chris informed them, then swiped again.
The next slide on the tablet showed a bunch of frozen over land, with still frozen trees. "We may have gotten the island offline, but the damage was still done. On the way to the treehouse, you'll have to pass through Total Tundra! Try not to lose your balance here though, the sea lions we brought here are rather territorial of the home they've come to live in!" Chris warned the teams, as there were a few sea lions roaming the frozen part of the forest.
Chris then turned off the tablet, smiling at the two teams. "First team to get someone into the treehouse not only wins the challenge and immunity, but they also get to use it for the rest of the competition! Loser has to someone home of course." Chris finished going over their challenge, then pulled out an airhorn.
"We're just jumping right into it? Can we get a second? That fall was oh so taxing if I may say so." Zachery requested, rubbing his back.
Chris shook his head, then blew the airhorn. "Nope! I'd get moving if I were you!" Chris started the challenge, prompting both teams to start running inland.
-Confessional: Jesse-
Jesse was carving a skull into the wall of the confessional, looking overall disinterested. "Why did I save everyone back there? Simple. I need to get in good graces with these people if I'm going to avoid getting voted out. Can't trust anyone here, they're all in for the money, just like I am. I don't play nice, I play for what benefits me. I'm not the most dangerous teen in Canada for nothing.
-Confessional: Lola-
Lola looked around the confessional adoringly, before facing the camera with a smile. "Hi! I'm Lola! It's like, so awesome to be here! I mean, the fall was kinda scary, but Jessie saved me there, that's really cool of him! Maybe we could be friends? I could use some, it's the whole reason I auditioned for the show after all. Hehe... you don't really get to make a lot of friends in the stuck up country club I'm from, that's for sure!"
-Confessionals Over-
Both teams had now embarked into the woods and ran together, although right off the bat, some were doing better than others. Lola was at the front of the Pandas, while Jesse and Yoko were at the front of the Lions. "Come on people, we don't have all day here!" Jesse shouted at the rest of the team, who weren't as athletic as him or Yoko.
"You wound me Jesse, truly." Zachery replied, too busy trying to keep up to do an accent.
Mitsuki was running at the back of the team, although no one seemed to really notice she was there. "Wait up!" she called out to her team, but they didn't seem to hear her either.
Michael was vlogging again as his team ran through the woods, jogging right behind Lola. "First challenge here we go! You feeling good about this guys? Remember, good vibes only!" Michael asked his team.
"Feeling okay! Maybe it'd be good to focus on the challenge? Sorry, not trying to be rude." Kimberly replied, a bit iffy on Michael vlogging right now.
Michael didn't take it bad at all though, instead just turning off his phone. "No worries sista! I ain't gonna hold my crew back!" Michael told Kimberly, then put his phone in his pocket.
Chase, Hannah, and Stephen all were having trouble keeping up, as none of them were athletic whatsoever. "Hey, they're falling behind, should we wait for them?" Lola asked, looking back and seeing them start fast-walking instead of running.
Lucas looked back and rolled his eyes, then shook his head at Lola. "As if we'd blow the challenge because they can't keep up. Just keep running, we only need one person to get in the treehouse anyway. If we lose, we just vote one of them off." Lucas explained to her.
Lola listened, frowning a little when he was done. "That doesn't sound right. Just keep going, I'll catch up!" Lola told them, then ran backwards to those that fell behind.
Lucas groaned as he watched Lola leave, not bothering to try and stop her. "Great, now that's another person gone already." he complained.
-Confessional: Lucas-
Lucas sat with his legs crossed, leaning against the confessional wall. "Hate to be that gal, but if someone can't keep up during the first challenge, then they're pretty worthless. No need to bring yourself down to their level just to try and 'help' them."
-Confessional Over-
The majority of the Lions made it to the tundra section first, which was more open than the actual woods. "What's the game plan here?" Yoko asked her team as they arrived, looking over the frozen ground as she stood right in front of it.
Kyu wasn't as careful though and ran a bit past Yoko, causing her to slide forward on the ice and lose her balance right away. "Try not to do that." Courtney quipped, stopping just before the ice as well.
Kyu pawed at the ground to try and stop herself from sliding, although her slamming into a rock put a stop to her sliding much more forcefully. "Oww... I'm okay! UWU!" Kyu held up two fingers, smiling over at her team.
Rolias put a foot on the ice, and didn't slide at all. He took another step after that, and still didn't slip. "Okay, slow steps is the way to go here dudes. The others aren't here yet, so we have time to get a lead." Jesse advised, then began to walk just a bit slower than normal pace to cross the icy ground.
The rest of the Lions followed suit except for Kyu, who had now gotten back on her feet and tried to regain her balance. "We got this team, just put one foot in front of the other!" Yoko cheered on the rest of her team, having no problem at all crossing the ice.
Half of the Pandas arrived, with them noticing what the Lions were doing right off the bat. "Should we just do what they're doing? It looks a little slow." Kimberly asked Michael and Lucas, since they were the only other ones currently with her.
"No, we should do something even slower." Lucas answered sarcastically, although when Kimberly gave him a weird look, he groaned. "Of course we do the same thing! Just go!" Lucas bluntly replied, then started to walk across the ice and hold both arms out to keep his balance.
Michael and Kimberly followed him, with the three of them walking a bit faster than the entirely of the Lions were. "Huh? Where did the rest of their team go? How did they get split off so fast?" Courtney asked the others after hearing Lucas yell and look their way.
Jesse looked back as well, then just began to walk faster. "Doesn't matter, it's better for us." Jesse replied bluntly.
As they walked past a small rock formation though, several of the sea lions that Chris had mentioned now began to approach the teams, with more focusing on the Lions. "Uh oh mateys, we be trespassin' on their home." Rolias guessed as he saw some of the sea lions begin to snarl at them.
Just as Kyu caught up to her team, one of the sea lions dove at her and bit down on her arm. "EEEP! It's being kinky!" Kyu cried out as she flailed that arm around and subsequently fell over.
"Good heavens, they wish for us to be aliven't!" Zachery cried out, holding both arms in front of his face as the sea lions now began to try and attack everyone.
One of the sea lions lunged at Zachery and bit his arms, while one leapt at Jesse and was met with a fist to the face. "Doesn't matter what they want, just defend yourselves." Jesse told his team as just used his awesome strength to protect himself.
-Confessional: Mitsuki-
Mitsuki was twiddling her thumbs, nervously giggling to herself. "Jesse, he's so cool... I don't think he'd want anything to do with me, but imagine if he came onto me. That'd be so hot~" Mitsuki began to drool just imagining it.
-Confessional Over-
While the sea lions were attacking everyone in the tundra, the other three members of the Pandas who had already gotten tired were trudging through the forest when Lola regrouped with them. "Hi guys! Do you need some help? Well, not exactly sure how I'd help here, but I can try!" Lola greeted them, seeing how tired they had gotten from running. Chase wasn't tired though, he just wasn't trying.
"Did you just call us 'guys'?" Hannah questioned Lola, pointing a finger at her. "You know that's misgendering right? We're not all guys." Hannah informed her, sounding angry.
"Might as well be, fat bozo." Chase joked to himself, catching his breath now.
Lola tilted her head in confusion, not seeing why Hannah was mad. "Umm, that's just how you greet a bunch of people right? I always say guys." Lola replied, her voice matching her visible confusion.
"So you're perpetuating the patriarchy then! Caught you and your misogyny!" Hannah accused Lola now, further confusing her.
Stephen nodded his head in agreement. "Yeah, stupid woman, just like the rest of them." he agreed with Hannah.
Lola tried to process what Hannah was getting at, but just pointed in the direction she came instead and dropped the topic. "Well, Lucas said he'd vote you guys off if you didn't catch up, so like, we need to hurry!" Lola warned them.
"Cool, carry me then." Chase ordered with a sly grin.
"Sure thing friend! Off we go!" Lola did as told and let Chase hop on her back, then carried him ahead.
Stephen and Hannah watched them leave, then looked at each other. "Ugh, absolutely sick behavior! She called us guys again, and she's helping him! Can't believe a 'fellow' woman would enable the patriarchy!" Hannah complained.
Stephen nodded in agreement. "Yeah, men shouldn't have to control women like that." Stephen stated.
"Thank you, at least someone on this team is sensible! Good to have an ally in the movement!" Hannah complimented Stephen.
-Confessional: Stephen-
Stephen had a smirk on his face, sitting with his arms crossed. "Women should just not exist period. Not worth a dang thing."
-Confessional: Chase-
Chase rubbed his hands together deviously, leaning against the right side of the confessional. "Looks like I found a fine cute piece of gullibility! Kinda figured she had some screws loose on the zeppelin. I'll have my fun with her, wink wink, then that'll be it. You saw how quick she was to give me a ride, and she called me her friend too! I'll see if I can get another ride from her if you know what I mean~ Heh, I am good!"
-Confessionals Over-
The Lions had now gotten a better grip on their situation, with Jesse and Yoko helping the others fend off the sea lions. "These guys just keep coming! Pick up the pace everyone, the faster we get out of here the better!" Yoko tried to encourage the others as she pried a sea lion off of Rolias and pushed it away.
The Pandas weren't being attacked anymore, since there were fewer of them and they didn't go between the rock formation like the Lions had. "Almost through the area... man, this is like a stealth game!" Kimberly whisper yelled excitedly to the others.
"Yeah, and you should stay quiet in those stealth games..." Lucas told her right away.
Michael was being mostly quiet as well, recording them walking through the tundra. "Almost there famsquad!" he whispered to his camera.
Just before they reached the end of the frozen ground, Lola and Chase arrived at the tundra and didn't even bother trying to be careful. "We're here!" Lola called to her teammates, planting her feet down and just sliding towards them at a fast speed, aided by Chase's weight.
Some of the sea lions heard this and began to leave the Lions alone and dart towards her and Chase, but by the time they started to go for her, she and the other Pandas had now reached the end of the tundra. "First past the ice, slay team!" Michael congratulated his teammates, giving them all a thumbs up.
Lola set Chase down, and the five Pandas began to run ahead, leaving the Lions behind. "To the treehouse we go!" Kimberly exclaimed as they left.
The Lions weren't too far off though, as Jesse grabbed one of the sea lions that lunged at him and was somehow able to throw it at another sea lion, sending them both flopping onto the ground. "Go go go! Now's our escape opening!" Yoko shouted, since they were also super close to normal ground again.
Jesse held off the last few sea lions while the other Lions stepped off the frozen ground. After kicking another away, he then followed his team as they all finished stepping off. "We aren't too far behind, I think we can still do this." Courtney said hopefully as they began to run normally again.
"Viva la Lions!" Zachery declared, running a bit faster than Courtney.
-Confessional: Zachery-
Zachery had a proud smile on his face, having one hand on his heart. "I believe there's some good in everyone, you just have to find it. I'll try to use my acting prowess to motivate the others, and it's been going well so far! I am not throwing away my shot here, and I will act my way to the end! Huzzah!"
-Confessional Over-
The teams both reached the treehouse at around the same time, where the Drama Machine was waiting for them. It cocked the launcher and took aim at the teams, spewing tennis balls as they all approached. "Ow! Chris didn't say it would shoot this fast!" Courtney let out as she covered her face.
Mitsuki just casually jogged behind Courtney, not getting hit by any of the tennis balls whatsoever. "The ladder is right there too, we just have to get past this the balls. Heh, balls..." Mitsuki lightly chuckled as her mind wandered again.
The Pandas weren't faring much better, with each of their members getting pelted repeatedly by balls. "Man, I can't even record with these flying at us!" Michael complained, although he still had a smile.
"You shouldn't be recording anyway, it's a CHALLENGE!" Lucas scolded Michael, before being knocked to the ground by a tennis ball to the face.
Lucas tried to get up, but the barrage of tennis balls made it impossible to really do that, as he immediately got hit in the forehead right after that. "Oh come on!" Lucas further complained, rubbing his head as he now lay on the ground.
As the teams got closer, Jesse saw the ladder behind the robot, the elbowed Yoko. "Hey, the ladder is right there, we just have to get past the robot and we win the whole thing." Jesse whispered to her.
"You think we can distract it somehow?" Yoko asked him back, holding one arm ahead of her face.
Jesse shrugged. "It's firing at everyone, might just have to take the pain and break through." he replied, not seeing any easy solution.
Chase and Kimberly weren't faring very well at all with the barrage of tennis balls, with the constant hits slowing them down. "How many does it even have? It has to reload at some point right?" Kimberly asked Chase, who was too busy staring at her waist to answer.
Kimberly looked and saw where he was staring though, then promptly kicked him in the crotch. "You are so gross!" Kimberly called him out, before taking a tennis ball to the ankle and falling down.
Chase also fell over, although it was because of the kick instead of the tennis balls. "Worth the view..." he whimpered to himself.
Lola was doing fine with the barrage, running faster than anyone else to the Drama Machine. An idea popped into her head though, and she stopped in place, holding her hands out ahead of her in a cup. A few more balls hit her, although she still quickly caught one of them. "What are you going to do there?" Michael asked her, now catching up to her and standing behind her to use her as a shield.
Lola closed one eye and reared her left arm with the ball, holding her other arm ahead of her face. "Gonna make an opening for us! Get ready to run!" Lola told Michael, then hurled the ball right at the Drama Machine.
The ball was thrown dead on at the head, making the poorly built robot tip over. "Ow!" a muffled voice let out as it hit the ground.
-Confessional: Courtney-
Courtney looked a little puzzled, scratching the back of her head. "Did that robot just talk? It did talk in previous seasons, although it sounded a little more high-pitched this time. I suppose it's voice chip is worn out."
-Confessional Over-
Lola and Michael high-fived each other, with Michael stepping out from behind her now that the barrage stopped. "Way to go! We got this!" Michael praised Lola as the two of them now ran for the ladder.
Unfortunately for them, Jesse and Yoko had already beaten them over there, with the rest of the Lions not too far behind. "Thanks for clearing the way suckers." Jesse taunted the Pandas as he began to climb the ladder, with Yoko right behind him.
By the time Lola and Michael reached the ladder, Jesse had already climbed to the balcony of the treehouse. As soon as he set foot on it, Chris's airhorn could be heard, with the host showing up on his red ATV. "Game over! The Lethargic Lions win the first challenge of the season, and they get to rock the treehouse for the rest of it!" Chris announced, making Jesse and Yoko high five while the rest of the Lions cheered down below.
The rest of the Pandas now walked over since the barrage of tennis balls was gone, with Hannah and Stephen finally showing up as well. "Passive Pandas, you'll be voting someone off tonight! The meeting area is just across the island, can't miss it! You did miss the treehouse though, have fun finding somewhere to sleep afterward!" Chris informed the Pandas, then drove off.
The Pandas had to just watch as the rest of the Lions climbed up the ladder to their treehouse, although they didn't watch for very long. As Hannah and Stephen rejoined them, Lucas marched right up to them both. "Where the heck were you two!? We could have used your help!" Lucas scolded them both.
"Yeah, women like you obviously need our help. Can't do anything on your own." Stephen retorted.
"THEN WHY DIDN'T YOU SHOW UP!?" Lucas further scolded them, glaring at Stephen.
"Because a pro-gamer like me doesn't do that whole running thing well. And neither did you. So don't start accusing people because you suck. You women just love to blame other people huh?" Stephen answered cockily.
Lola and Michael now regrouped with them, hearing what Stephen had said. "Stephen, you really hate women, are you gay?" Lola asked him curiously.
Stephen shook his head, almost laughing. "As if! I just know where I stand and I know where women stand! There's a reason most gamers are men anyway!" he replied, now offending Kimberly.
"Hey, I'm a girl and I'm a gamer! I stream too!" Kimberly protested.
Stephen scoffed, narrowing his eyes at her. "Debatable. You're probably just one of those streamers who live off of donations from simps." Stephen argued, not believing Kimberly at all.
Hannah was ignoring all this talk though, marching right up to Lola. "What does it matter if Stephen is gay? Do you have a problem with that!?" Hannah asked her accusingly.
Lola shook her head, still smiling. "Of course not! I was just wondering because-"
"It's none of your business! You're absolutely a homophobe! You were purposefully misgendering us back in the forest too!" Hannah accused Lola, which now got a few eyes on Lola.
"I d-didn't mean to say-" Lola stammered, getting stressed.
"Well you did! Give me one good reason we shouldn't vote you off right now!" Hannah yelled at Lola.
Lola pointed at the still tipped over Drama Machine, then at Chase. "Umm, I took out the robot, and I carried Chase across the tundra?" Lola reasoned.
Hannah grumbled, then stormed off. "Purely circumstantial!" Hannah shouted as she left.
Stephen snorted, then followed Hannah. "Yeah, know your place, female." Stephen told Lola as he left.
Kimberly was glaring at Stephen still, crossing her arms. "Ugh, I thought I wouldn't run into his type here, I see his type in my stream chats all the time." Kimberly told Michael.
Lucas nodded in agreement. "Tell me about it. Actually, don't. He's the worst." Lucas replied, then walked away.
Chase walked up to Lola as everyone else left, licking his lips. "Hey Lola, wanna search for a spot to spend the night? Since we don't have the treehouse, it'd probably be good if we searched together." Chase asked her.
Lola perked up at this, nodding her head. "Ooh, good idea! The team would definitely like us more if we did that! We're friends right?" Lola asked him back.
Chase shrugged his shoulders. "Yeah, sure, whatever. I'll be your friend if you do as I say." Chase told her.
"Promise!" Lola took that offer immediately, holding up a pinky.
Chase snickered, then motioned for Lola to follow him. "Good girl, this'll be fun~" Chase told her, now walking away from the treehouse with Lola right behind him.
-Confessional: Hannah-
Hannah raised one finger, with her other hand on her hip. "It's important to out the problematic people immediately. Stephen is a problem, but he'll shoot himself in the foot later on. Lola is..." Hannah shivered for a moment. "Cute. So that means the others will sympathize with her if she stays long enough. And I DO NOT need a team of homophobic sympathizers!"
-Confessional: Michael-
Michael didn't have his phone out, since he was already looking right at the confessional camera. "Wow, there's like, a lot of cancellable people on our team. I am like, so relieved they're already outed. Imagine if I made friends with one of them, then it was revealed they're problematic! OMG, I would like, lose so many subscribers!"
-Confessional: Lucas-
Lucas was hunched over a little, resting his palm on his forehead. "I'm pretty sure it's a bad thing when I want to vote out half the team on the first day. But I only get one vote, what a pain."
-Confessionals Over-
That night, at the usual elimination ceremony area on Pahkitew, the Passive Pandas were gathered on the tree stump and oil barrel seats. Michael sat in the back row with his phone, recording the whole thing. "This is gonna be a tense one guys! Do you think I'M gonna get voted out? Well smash that subscribe button and hit the bell to be notified when the next part comes out!" Michael told his phone, then stopped the recording.
"Next part? We're still here dude." Lucas pointed out, sitting in front of him.
"It's for the content! Gotta divide the whole thing up into 10 minute vids." Michael replied, then hit the record button again. "Welcome back famsquad to part 14 of my first day here on Total Drama!" he began to narrate again.
Kimberly was sitting next to Lucas, playing on her Gameguy to pass the time while Lola watched sitting next to her. Chase sat next to Lola, having a few hickeys on his neck. Hannah and Stephen were seated in the back row, both of them giving bitter looks to the rest of their team. "Welcome to the Modernity elimination area! It's sleek, it's modern, it's-"
"Exactly the same?" Stephen cut Chris off, correcting him immediately.
Chris frowned, nodding his head. "Yeah, whatever. Fans want things exactly the same as they were. Gotta say, that was an awful performance out there for a lot of you. You really proved the passive in your team name!" Chris told the Pandas, none of which were happy to hear.
Kimberly put her Gameguy away, so she and Lola looked forward, with Michael also directing his phone towards Chris to pay attention. "You all already voted, and this is where we'll get to see who of you guys thought deserves a one way ticket home!" Chris introduced the ceremony, standing in front of his oil barrel podium now.
Chef was now back on the island, and he set a tray of six marshmallows down on the oil barrel. Chris picked it up, then grabbed a marshmallow off of it with his spare hand. "If I hand you a marshmallow, that means you're safe and get to play another day!" Chris stated, wagging the marshmallow for a moment for the contestants to look at.
"Kimberly."
Kimberly had a small smile on her face as she was tossed her marshmallow, relieved to be safe first.
"Michael."
Michael pumped a fist in the air as he heard his name, then caught his marshmallow. "Yooo! Let's go! Smash the like button for that one baby! This queen lives another day!" Michael exclaimed to his phone.
"Hannah."
Hannah let out a small huff, catching her marshmallow and immediately popping it into her mouth.
"Lucy."
Lucas raised up one arm and caught his marshmallow, resting his other arm on his legs. He was relieved, but he just looked overall disinterested.
"Chase."
Chase smirked, catching his marshmallow with a snicker. He shoved a finger through it, then repeatedly moved it back and forth out of boredom.
Chris looked at the bottom two, both of whom had very different expressions. Lola was gripping the sides of her tree stump, her face filled with worry now. Stephen on the other hand looked extremely confident, sitting with his arms crossed and waiting impatiently for his marshmallow. "Lola, you may have helped your team, but you're also a homophobe, whatever that means. Not too good to be one of those these days I guess!" Chris went off why she was here.
"But I-" Lola began, but Chris cut her off.
"Stephen. You did very little to help your team, and you have some odd opinions of women. Reminds me of a certain homeschooler." Chris chuckled, not fazing the gamer at all.
Chris raised up the final marshmallow, looking between the bottom two. "The last marshmallow of the night goes to..."
...

Lola grew more stressed, holding both hands close to her and clenching them out of worry. Stephen yawned, growing more impatient with how Chris was drawing this out.

"Stephen."
Stephen fully expected to be safe, so he just lazily raised his hand to catch his marshmallow, while Lola gasped in shock. "Wait... what? I thought we were voting for Stephen?" Lola asked, confused at what just happened.
Hannah scoffed, reaching forward and flicking Lola on the back of her head. "Pff, as if we'd keep you here! Stephen is a pro gamer and isn't a homophobe like you!" Hannah stated harshly.
Lola got up from her seat, looking at the rest of her team. "Well... I'm still your friend at least? Right guys?" Lola asked the others hopefully.
Michael shook his head, frowning at her. "Nope, can't associate myself with a homophobe. I myself am gay, so you already hate me, not quite fair is it?" Michael answered.
"Yeah, and you're pretty annoying, and pretty stupid, and a woman, so who would want to be friends with you?" Stephen added.
"Hey, that's way too harsh, you should be going home!" Kimberly called Stephen out, still mad at him.
No one else was saying anything, so Lola looked to Chase. "Well, at least I have you as a friend Chase! I'll be rooting for you!" Lola told Chase, waving goodbye to him.
Chase just shrugged. "Eh, I had my fun with you. We're done." Chase dismissed her words.
Lola looked taken aback by this, mortified almost. "D-Done? But we-"
"I said we're done! Goodbye! Toodaloo!" Chase cut her off, waving goodbye to her back.
Chris walked up to Lola, putting a hand on her shoulder. "Oooo, looks like no one wants to be your friend Lola! Let's get on with the elimination shall we?" Chris directed her.
Lola looked ready to cry as she faced Chris now. "S-Sure..." Lola accepted the defeat, walking away from her team now.
One scene change, and Chris was standing with the rest of the Pandas next to the Cannon of Shame. "We've still got the cannon, and without the budget to do anything else, here we go again! Plus, it's just fun shooting teens out of a cannon! So here's the Cannon of Shame everyone!" Chris introduced the cannon, although none of the Pandas looked impressed.
Lola was at the top of the cannon, looking completely dejected. She looked back at her teammates, gulped nervously, then waved goodbye to them. "Any last words Lola?" Chris asked her as he pulled out the remote for the cannon.
Lola nodded her head. "Yeah, maybe we can be friends after the shoooOOOOOOOOWWWWWW!" Lola screamed as she was fired from the cannon, soaring off into the distance.
Chris watched her fly away, then turned to the camera. "According to my legal team, having a homophobe in the cast would likely get us cancelled, so good thing that she's gone! Will another problematic player get the boot? And do these kids have any actual fight in them? Find out next time, on Total, Drama, Mooooooodernity!" Chris concluded the episode, raising his arms with each of the last words and the shot panning further out to the whole island.

Pichu77 here, thank you all for reading! I wasn't expecting to get much submissions after being gone for so long, but you guys really came through. I won't be able to update every other day like I used to, since that free time is long gone. As for Lola being a first boot, well, someone had to be the first boot, and Lola is just a really easy target in a lot of ways, so being fodder to Hannah and Stephen was the role she filled. Thank you to TDFan2077 for sending her in. Leave a review, I'll try to respond to as many as I can in the next episode, and I'll see you all next time!
Lola's Audition Tape:
The tape would turn on with Lola up close to the camera turning it on. After getting it on, she would back away and reveal she was standing in the country club's tennis courts on a bright sunny day. She had a tennis racquet in one hand, and the sounds of balls hitting the court and being hit by other players could be heard off in the distance. "Hiiiii! Okay, so, I'm Lola, nice to meet you! Well, we haven't met yet, I guess I should have worded that better. But uhh, nice to soon meet you? Anyway, I'm really hoping to get on Total Drama since it seems like a ton of fun. I'm a team player, I look really pretty... umm, I can make a lot of friends probably, and I think this whole thing could be pretty fun! Umm, assuming I go far that is, wouldn't be too fun to leave immediately right?" Lola introduced herself, slipping up on her ideas a couple times.
After a couple seconds, a stray ball rolled over to the court she was standing on, which she picked up and hit back to where it came from. She hit it a little too hard though, which caused a yell to be heard off-screen. "Sorry Mr. Hawley!" Lola apologized, wincing as she saw where the ball went. She looked back toward the camera, leaning her racquet against her shoulder. "Anyway, I'm a pretty good tennis player, in case you couldn't tell! Pretty cool huh? Now if you excuse me, I gotta get out of here before I got scolded! So pick me!" Lola said to the camera, before running forward and turning it back off.
