Welcome, chapter 14, is here. I know a lot is going in the story, but for this chapter, let's forget about Tyranny of the Masses.
And this is a good moment to leave a review if you have liked the story so far, or only to know what you like and what no. But if you don't want to review but you like the story, at least mark it as a favorite. Now let me reply to some reviews before starting.
gman5846: I know, but in this fics, someone had to be eliminated. Then again is not the last we hear of Lindsay.
Serious-Comedian: Thanks for the help with the typos, and also I am glad you enjoy the lego challenge. You are not evil because that would make me evil for writing it ;).
The problem with Jay is that he is not as smart and is making to many enemies, but let's see what happens next. And about the idols, the list shows those that remain unused ;)
LovelyLulu: AS always, Many thanks for your help.
Finally, I want to dedicate this episode in memoriam of Regis Philbin, that passed away last week. The world lost one of his best hosts.

Total Drama Aftermath for the Masses
Episode 1
The image showed an open stage in a modern and beautiful resort. On the center of the stage, was a couch with two people sitting on it, a man and a woman. On the right side, a two-level stand with 12 people seated on it, on the left an empty couch and over the stage a giant screen. In front was an Audience seated watching the scene.
The man was a thin man with auburn hair. He is dressed in a blue suit that was too big for him, a white shirt, red bow necktie, a red rose in his lapel, and thick green-tinted glasses.
His co-host is a black woman of robust build, with her curly hair in a ponytail, a one-piece black swimsuit with and letter L over the left breast, sandals, and hoop earrings.
"Hello Total Drama Fans around the world, to the first episode of the Total Drama Aftermath for the Masses," said the male host.
"You say it, baby. We are going live from this wonderful resort on Mihtâtamowin island, just to give our fans the latest news about this season," said the female host.
"I am your host, Harold Norbert Cheever Doris McGrady V," said Harold bowing.
"And I am LeShawna, just LeShawna, like Oprah," said LeShawna, winking.
"Actually Oprah's last name is Winfrey, is just that she rarely uses it," added Harold, raising a finger.
"Same as me, baby, same as me," replied LeShawna smiling, the public laughing at her joke. "And tell me, honeypie, what with that outfit? Are you practicing for Halloween?"
"Of course not, Gosh! It's a suit. All great television hosts use a suit on their shows, Alex Trebek, Kevin Newman, Regis Philbin," said Harold, counting with his fingers.
LeShawna raised an eyebrow."Chris didn't use a suit, babe."
"Yes, and that reinforces my point that only the best ones wear one," said Harold smiling and folding his arms, the public laughing at his joke.
"Anyway, next time, let me help ya. Cuz right now, it seems you stole that suit from your papa," said LeShawna, chuckling.
Harold bowed politely. "I graciously accept your kind offer."
"HEY! Hate to interrupt your boring show, but can you introduce us? We are also stars of this afterthought show," reproached a beautiful tanned girl sitting on the stands.
"Hey girl, take it easy, we are just getting there, ok?" said LeShawna glaring at her.
"That's right, today's we have quite the peanut gallery. These are past participants of the previous Total Drama seasons that were not favorite enough to be part of the Favorite team that was formed for this season," said Harold, arranging his bow tie.
"Yeah, babe, just like us," commented LeShawna rolling her eyes.
"Ahem! Something like that. Without further preamble, let me introduce our friends that will be sharing the show with us," said Harold extending a hand and pointing to the stand.
"From the first generation, the unpredictable girl of many names, Izzy," started Harold.
The redhead girl wearing a green bikini sent kisses to the camera, "A pleasure to be here. Can I host the show too?"
Harold looked at her perplexed, "Erm, No, also with u-"
"Well, what about co-host?" Izzy interrupted him.
Harold frowned, "NO! Gosh!, now as I was saying, also w-"
"And what about giving me my own segment?" Izzy interrupted him once again, waggling her eyebrows.
"Ok girl, keep quiet, and we will think about it?" said LeShawna in a stern voice.
"Hehe, great, thank you, Lesh," said Izzy smiling, and patting her fingers together.
"Thanks, LeShawna," said Harold, adjusting his bow tie and combing his hair. "Also with us are my long time friend, teammate, and famous chef, DJ.""
DJ is a black man with black hair and a brett beard, he is wearing only his gray bunker short and sandals.
"Hello man, a pleasure to be here, you look wonderful as the host," said DJ smiling and giving thumbs up at Harold.
"That's DJ, my man, also with us are the best of the best friends, Katie and Sadie," Harold said, smiling due to DJ compliment.
Katie and Sadie were two girls, one tall and thin, and the other short and chubby. Both wore blue bikinis with white dots and use their black hair on pigtails.
"HEY! they are introducing us again together as if we were only one person and not two," protested Sadie, frowning.
"Yes, it is not wonderful? I love to be introduced together with you," said Katie smiling.
"Oh, well, if you love it, I also love it," said Sadie, now she was smiling and held her BFF hands.
"EEEEEEEEEE!" both of them squee excitedly.
LeShawna, Harold, and the rest of the peanut gallery cover their ears from the high-pitched squee.
The sister with a 'tude ignored it and continued. "Now from the second generation of the show, we have our snappy Jersey gal, Anne Maria," she then pointed at the tanned girl that shouted before.
Anne Maria was a tanned girl with her hair on a puffed up at the top, wearing a yellow bikini.
"It was about time you introduce the only true star in this show," said the Jersey Shore girl, adjusting her hair.
"Keep dreaming Snooki wannabe, the number one was invented for me," said an athletic girl sitting behind her.
"What do you say to me, you b**** are messing with the wrong girl," said Anne Marie standing up. She and the other girl have to be restrained by Katie, Sadie, and a blond-haired girl with green tips, so they don't jump at each other.
"Anne Maria, language, we are going live. And Jo, if you are gonna cause problems on my show, you will get some of this first," said LeShawna pointing a thumb at herself.
Jo was an athletic girl with short dirty blond hair, using a full-body gray neoprene swimsuit.
"Whatever, I will leave Tanned Maria for now. Anyway, I shouldn't be here, but fighting for the million prize on the island," said Jo frowning and leaning on her place.
LeShawna rolled her eyes. "Yeah, girl, like all of us. Also with us is the silent inventor, B."
B is a black man of chubby build, with green eyes and a soul patch, wearing a Hawaiian yellow shirt open, blue bunker shorts, and an orange cap backward.
B made finger guns at the camera and winked.
"Eh? That's all? You don't have anything to say?" said LeShawna putting a hand on her hip.
B looked at her with wide eyes, shook his head and winked, making a smug smile.
"Are you sure? Cuz, this show had lots of content, and this may be your only chance," said LeShawna pointing at the silent man.
B rubbed his chin, looking to the sky. LeShawna was right, maybe it was his last time in the spotlight, so why not? He opened his mouth and-
Was interrupted by LeShawna, "As you wish, well, let's introduce the next guest, professional gamer and streaming celebrity, Sam."
Sam was a tall man with short auburn curly hair and round glasses, he is wearing a pink tank top with blue trunks.
"Ehehe, it is a pleasure to be here with you today, Harold, LeShawna," said Sam laughing.
LeShawna winked at him. "We are happy to have you here, too, Sam. Also with us is the former World Wrestler Xtreme champion, model and environmental activist, Dakota. Hello girl, how are you doing?"
Dakota was a girl with long blonde hair with green tips, tanned skin, red eyes, and sharpened teeth, she is shorter than Sam, but wearing matching pink tank top and a blue bikini bottom.
"Fine LeShawna, thanks, I am almost recovered from my accident. The doctors said that in 3 months, I will be almost back to normal. You are not sad about it, right, Sammy?" said Dakota, holding Sam's hand.
"Of course not, Dakota, you are a wonderful woman. I don't care how you look on the outside," said Sam, both kissing.
"Aww, that is so beautiful," said LeShawna, "also we have the physician and Aerospace engineering, Staci," said LeShawna with a puzzled expression.
Staci was a chubby girl with short brunette hair in a small ponytail and a ribbon on her hair, she wore a yellow lifejacket with a pink bikini.
"JA, hello LeShawna, is a pleasure to come here today. Did you know that my Uncle Dan invented the Aftermath show? Before him, people had to read the contestants' biographies to find out what happened with them after the show, it was really sad."
"Yeaaaah, right," said LeShawna, not believing a word from the girl.
"Wait a moment, LeShawna, maybe her uncle is Dan Levy, if that's true she may be partial-" Interrupted Harold excited by the information.
LeShawna put a finger on her co-host mouth. "Harold, please, focus. We are on a schedule."
"Hehehe, you are right. And from the 3rd generation, we had the human beatbox machine, the great and only Beardo. Man, I am a fan of your work," said Harold smiling at the camper.
Beardo is a black man with long fluffy hair and beard, with blue trunks and suspenders.
Beardo made the sound of a slot machine running, and then the effect of it hitting the jackpot, with lots of cheering.
"I am happy to meet you too. There are only 5 men in all Canada that can reproduce the effect of a 2015 mega Joker slot machine that accurately," said, Harold, smiling, "also with us from Alberta, Rodney."
Rodney is a big and strong build man with red hair on spikes and freckles, he uses a white t-shirt and blue speedo.
"Hiya, Harold and LeShawna, it's a pleasure to be here today," said Rodney rubbing his neck. "And also a big hello to my family at home, especially to Ethan, don't give Pa too much trouble."
Harold smiled before introducing the next contestant. "And last but not least, we are also glad to have the archmage and teacher of Defense against the dark arts, Leonard."
Leonard is a thin black man dressed in a long green robe with a pointed wizard hat, and a fake gray beard.
"Greetings. Yes, I am the one called Leonard, but I don't teach Defense anymore. That job is cursed I told you, and by forces that go beyond even my might," said Leonard covering his face with one of his sleeves.
LeShawna looked at the mage with an unamused expression. "You are not using a swimsuit? We are in a resort, you know?"
"Hahaha, there is no problem. This robe had a swimming enchantment, and also greater protection against elements, including water. If I need to go into the water, I will be ok," said Leonard rubbing his fake beard.
"You may be ok, but I am not so sure the resort's pool rules allow swimming in magical robes," said Harold, wondering if that point was even considered in the regulations.
"Are these all? I thought there were a few more contestants from the past seasons," asked LeShawna, touching her cheek.
Harold nodded, grinning at the camera. "They are all the guests, my dear LeShawna, but that is something we can talk later. Let's introduce today's first honor guest."
"This little guy was a favorite in the show. Don't be fooled by his harmless appearance. This boy is the winner of the 4th season, and first elimination on this one, bubble boy Brainiac, Cameron," said LeShawna clapping. On the screen, images of Cameron during the season are shown.
Cameron entered the stage from the left side. The Brainiac was dressed in yellow trunks and had a bandage around his head. After waving at the public, he sat on the couch next to Harold.
"Hello Cameron, it is an honor to meet you. I read your dissertation about the uses of contaminated radiological elements as an alternative energy source. It was fascinating," said Harold, his eyes sparkling.
"You did," said Cameron blushing, "well, thanks. I decided to write it after my experience during the Total Drama Revenge season. The problem is that the decay rate of the element is unknown and requires more research. I, for example, didn't suffer any side effects, but our friend Dakota did."
"Sorry, are you like talking about me. I stop paying attention after you began talking about desserts," said Dakota, shrugging.
LeShawna folded her arms, narrowing her eyes at his co-host. "Yes, Harold, can we talk about the season? I am sure you can have your radiological conversation later."
"Gosh! It was only an innocent question. Anyway, Cameron, tell us, how do you feel after being eliminated from the show? I know it hurts, I also suffered from an early elimination during a season. So please share what you feel comfortable with us," said Harold, smiling kindly at the bubble boy.
"Harold, are you not trying too hard to be kind with Cameron? Cuz this is an entertainment show. We need to make some harsh questions," said LeShawna raising an eyebrow.
"I know, but I don't want to cause more emotional stress on him than necessary. After all, we are not like those rabid tabloids reporters that don't care about their guests," answer Harold, closing his eyes and raising a hand for emphasis.
Cameron looked at him, lowering his eyebrows with an upset expression. "Harold, please, don't do that. I'm not a boy, go as hard as you can. This is the baptism of the losers, and I deserve it."
The public and most of the gallery (sans Jo) said AAAW surprised by the answer of Cameron.
"And answering your question, I feel upset and angry with myself. I became conceited with my skills and was obsessed with showing my friends how much I have grown, but I ended failing my team and causing our loss at the challenge. I deserve to be here," said Cameron, frowning, "I am so upset that I want to shout, ahhhh!"
Cameron shout was more like what someone will say to a doctor when he asks, 'open your mouth and said ah' than a true shout.
"Wow, that felt great. Maybe I am awakening to my wild side," said Cameron smiling confidently.
"Oh, C'MON A MOUSE CAN SHOU-" began to shout, Jo. Dakota, and Sam covered her mouth to avoid making a scene.
"Wow, Cam, you are really angry," said Sam smiling at his friend.
"And what happened to you? Did you get hurt falling from the bridge?" asked LeShawna, looking at the bandage on his head.
The Brainiac rubbed his head. "Oh, no. I get hurt when the chopper of shame dropped me into the lake. Fortunately, they pick me up quickly.
"GOSH! Maybe they didn't test this elimination method enough to warrant the security of the contestants. Those idiots," said Harold angered.
"Based on what Chef told me, all the interns that test it were more or less ok, but none were as small as me," said Cameron, folding his arms
LeShawna then smiled and took a card with more questions. "Well, Cameron, another question, who do you think or want to win this season?"
"That is a simple question, Mike. And not because he is my friend, But right now Mike is the most formidable competitor on the island, and maybe in the whole show story," said Cameron smirking proudly and adjusting his glasses.
"Sorry to say this short stuff but, are you sure? Your friend with noddles arms seem a little on the ordinary side," questioned LeShawna tilting her head.
Harold folded his arms and nodded. "That's true, but we thin men are full of surprises that more buffed men cannot imagine. Remember, for example, that he was runner-up on the fifth season, he may have some wicked and unknown mad skills."
"That is exactly true," said Cameron grinning joyfully. "This Mike is not the Mike we once knew. He is the union of all his alters. Before the fusion, he had the body fitness to make Svetlana gymnastics or Manitoba tracking, but he didn't have the knowledge on how to do it. Now he has all that knowledge all the time, with the confidence to do it. He is the ultimate Mike."
"You mean he could be as cool as my Vito?" asked Anne Maria, raising an eyebrow.
"Exactly, but with the attitude and personality of Mike," answered Cameron, nodding.
Anne Maria looked up, touching her chin. "Then, I am not sure I am interested. Vito was the Gido every girl dreamt, but maybe I should give him a chance."
"NOOO! You can't! He is with Zoey," shouted Cameron, nervous for what this development may have caused.
"Don't worry, it will be only a test run, I will not break it," said Anne Maria with a flirtatious smile.
"That's not the problem," tried to explain Cameron, more worried than before, "Zoey is going to kill me."
LeShawna raised her voice, interrupting the argument. "OK, stop there, you can discuss this problem later, cuz we are in the middle of MY show."
"Thank you, Cameron, it's been an honor. Please take your place at the peanut Gallery while we present our next segment 'Where are they now?'" said Harold looking at the camera.
"As you can see, some contestants are missing from the Peanut gallery," said LeShawna looking at the stands.
"These campers couldn't make it to the show, so they are not here recording, some of them will join us later, and some of them will not join at all," said Harold, pointing at the public.
"Wait a minute, man? Didn't we were forced by contract to be part of the show or the peanut gallery?" asked DJ, surprised about these news, the rest of the peanut gallery as well, whispering between themselves.
Harold nodded, closing his eyes. "That's true, DJ my friend, but there are some circumstances in which the production cannot enforce the contract on some participants. These are the ones that will appear in this segment."
"Oh, oh, oh, I know, I know!" said Izzy raising her hand excitedly. "Like being trapped in an island full of cannibals, or in a secret mission for the government."
"I don't think so, Izzy. Anyway, I wish they would have shared that secret with us before the show," said LeShawna winking at the camera.
On the screen appeared a big interrogation sign.
"Well the first camper of the segment is a former Killer Bass and usual of the Aftermath show, Eva," said Harold, in an excited tone.
On the screen appeared, Eva, dressed in a blue top and blue fighting shorts, she is wearing her black hair in a ponytail and has bandages on her hands and feet.
"Hey, how did that coward could avoid being here?" asked Jo, throwing her arm to the air.
"Eva right now is taking part in the Ontario Kickboxing championship category 18+, as the tournament occurs once the show already began, and she cannot leave the premises once here. She had special authorization to not be on the show. She may join us if she loses along early in the tournament," read Harold from a small card.
LeShawna looked at the screen with wide eyes."THAT Eva is into kickboxing. I don't want to meet with her in one of her tantrums-"
"LeShawna, remember this is a live show," said DJ, whispering at the sister with 'tude.
LeShawna blanched, and then added. "Well, I mean that she is a great gal, and had made so many advances in her anger management. We love you, babe."
"My great, great, great, great, great uncle Osamu invented kickboxing, before then people usually used heavy branches in their fights, Ja. Or Maybe other martial arts."
Harold put his hand on his chin, maybe she was not just a lier, but decided not to ask. "We wish Eva the best of luck in the tournament. Now our next camper is a favorite, member of the team amazon and the heroic hamsters, she is known by all our fans, in fact, she is the Ubber fan-"
"SIERRA!" shouted Cameron (well more like he said in a not so loud voice), before covering his head on his seat.
"Don't worry, my short friend, Disapiricus Convencicus," said Leonard while twirling and flicking his wand, touching Cameron, "you are now invisible."
Cameron was sure he was not invisible but was too nervous to contradict the strange-looking wizard.
"Yes, Sierra! Where is that wild gal right now? Let's ask our reporter, Blaineley," Said LeShawna, looking at the screen.
"Hello, I'm Blaineley Stacey Andrews O'Halloran, reporting live from the Toronto airport," said Blainely waiving at the camera.
LeShawna smiled, talking at the mic. "Hello Blainley, what did you found about Sierra?"
"Not much, she took the plane to Vancouver to be part of a discussion panel on the Dramacon the next month. And a very handsome attendant said that he believed he saw her board the plane," said Blaineley, with a bored expression.
Harold raised an eyebrow. "That's is too vague, is there some kind of confirmation about Sierra boarding the plane or not? Also, I don't think that being part of a discussion panel on a fan organized event can be enough to exempt you from these contractual obligations."
"I don't know, and also, I don't care. I'm one of the best hosts in this country, not a research reporter. I should be there asking questions, not here trying to find some celebrity-obsessed fan that went into hiding. My manager will hear of this," said Blaineley stomping her feet.
"Calm down, we need to find out what happened with the campers. That is the reason for this segment," said LeShawna, rubbing her temple.
"Hey, if she doesn't want to do it, I want to do it! I can do it! It is my DESTINY!" interrupted Izzy raising a hand and waving.
"Girl? Do you want to take her job?" asked Leshawana, shocked by Izzy enthusiasm.
Izzy made a wide smile. "Yes, I love to investigate and research, they used to call me Isabella Sandiego. I was so good that they banned me from entering Russia."
"Well, let's talk with production after the show, but I don't think it is a great idea," said LeShawna sighing.
"That's wonderful news for me. I will go back to Mitarwin island," said Blaineley smiling, "So I can help you spice your boring show."
"The correct name is Mihtâtamowin Yikâwiskâhk, is the Cree for the beach where people act remorseful," said Harold raising a finger while explaining.
"And I don't care, beca-" the image of Blaineley disappeared as B pressed a button on the custom-made remote he had on his hand.
"It seems we have a problem with the connection," said LeShawna winking at the silent man impishly, "so let's forget her and continue with the show." She then whispered, "I owe you one."
B Smiled proudly and blushed when LeShawna winked at him.
"It seems we can't connect again with Blaineley," said Harold, also winking. "So let's continue with the show. Please, LeShawna, introduce the second honor guest."
"This sister was my personal favorite to win this season. A survivalist and entrepreneur with her own flower shop/cage fighting school. The second participant in being eliminated and first from the ferrets' teams. From Australia, Jasmine," said LeShawna clapping at the new guest.
Jasmine walked with a serious expression and a bandage on her legs. The Aussie was wearing a one-piece blue bodysuit with some stars and the union jack, and her explorer's hat, sitting on the guest couch.
"Hey Jasmine, Hello!" shouted Rodney from the stands, waving joyfully.
Jasmine waved back at him. "Hello, Rod, Owyagarn, alright?"
"I, cloud, bees, heart, time, love," said Rodney with sparkling eyes.
"I'm also glad to meet you again," said Jasmine, then turned to face the hosts.
"Jasmine, your survival skills and physical prowess make you one if not the best contender in your generation. How does it feel to be eliminated so early?" asked Harold, narrowing his eyes at the Aussie.
"Hey! what up with that question? Can't you be a little considerate with her?" said LeShawna, frowning and putting a hand on her hip.
"GOSH! Just a moment ago, you said that I must go harsher on the guests," answered Harold narrowing his eyes.
LeShawna replied in a louder tone. "Yes, but I said harsh, not rude."
"Ok, I'm sorry, Jasmine," said Harold folding his arms, "Can you tell us how do you feel right now."
"I'm angry." Said the Aussie folding her arms. "I wanted to spend some time my friends, and of course, that chance to win the million dollars so I can repay Shawn generosity. But they eliminate me the first. It's so unfair."
"Strictly is it fair. I mean is a method of voting for elimination, so the camper with most votes must go. That is the principle of the participative democracy that, if abused, turn in what is called the Tyranny of the masses. A principle argued by John Stuart Mill in his book-" said Harold before being interrupted by LeShawna.
"Harold, that is so interesting, but we have a show to run," said LeShawna rolling her eyes, "And tell me, Jasmine, what happened in your legs? An accident with the chopper of shame?" asked the sister with a 'tude, looking with worried expression at the bandages.
"Yes, it was, how did you know? The chopper passed to close to some palm trees, and I hit them with my legs," said Jasmine frowning.
"Palm trees? You mean they slam you against more than one?" asked LeShawna with wide eyes.
"Actually, they were like 10," replied Jasmine looking upward with a hand on her chin.
"You mean all those palm trees on the beach were not snapped by the storm?" said DJ, putting his hands on his cheeks.
Jasmine scratched her cheek, nervously, "Well, my strength also impress me sometimes."
"Wow, I would love to see you fight LeShawna," said Harold, LeShawna then glared at him. "Of course not fight like in a real fight, but confront each other as two of the more formidable amazons I have ever met-"
"Please, Harold, just stop there," said LeShawna, pointing at Harold and narrowing her eyes at him, "And Jasmine, who do you think or want to win this season?"
"I would want Sammy to win. That girl needs some confidence, and she is smart and a good athlete, so I am rooting for her," said Jasmine, nodding.
"Are you rooting for her over Shawn!?" asked Katie alarmed.
"That is so sad," added Sadie holding her BFF's hands.
"Yes lovers are supposed to support each other," said Katie with tears on her eyes.
"Shawn is strong enough, he doesn't need for me to be rooting for him," said Jasmine shrugging.
"Well said, girl! Now please sit with the rest of the peanut gallery while we continue with the next segment of the show," said Lesahwna smiling, "Harold, can you tell us about it?"
"Of course! And this segment is Total Drama Lost ones, here we ask all our fans at home to send information about some of the most reclusive campers in the show. Today we ask for the favorite homeschooled boy in the show, Ezekiel," said Harold as an image of human Ezekiel and mutant Ezekiel appeared on the screen.
"If you have any information about him, please call the number that is appearing on the screen right now, or send a message using our website or mobile application," said Harold, pointing at the audience.
"The best sighting can win a commemorative T-shirt of Total Drama, Tyranny of the masses, or a cup with the TD logo, which is kind of, well, a prize is a prize I guess?" said LeShawna shrugging, not sure why someone would want a prize like that.
"Those prizes are wonderful, they surely will fetch a great price on internet auctions." Said Stacy nodding.
"Are you sure about that?" asked Harold raising and eyebrow.
"Ja, I never lie," answered Stacy smiling confidently.
"If you say so. Anyway, let's now call our third honor guest," said Harold shrugging.
"Hey, do I have to really introduce him like this?" asked LeShawna, looking at the card.
"Please let me do it. Today we have with us the self-proclaimed most Evil competitor in the series so far. He is so Evil that there is a need for a new word to describe his Evil deeds. He is also part-time babysitter and musician, the evil genius Max," said Harold clapping as the short Supervillian came into the scene.
Max also entered from the left side. The super-villain wore purple trunks and a white and purple Hawaiian shirt, with a golden chain with an octopus effigy. He was frowning and with his fists clenched. Folding his arms as he sat.
"Hello Max, welcome to the after show," said LeShawna in a not so enthusiastic greeting.
"SILENCE! I should not be here, I was framed and betrayed by that minion. I can't believe it, just when I was so close to my vengeance. That's not evil, that's just plain mean," said Max with tears on his eyes.
"That's a shame, Max. But tell us, Why are you wearing a chain with a medal in the image of an Octopus vulgaris? Do you like that animal?" said Harold adjusting his glasses. "Because I think they are cool, but the king of the sea is the Odontodactylus scyllarus, or peacock mantis shrimp. Its punch is as quick as a caliber .22 handgun."
"I don't know what you are talking about, this is an evil necklace, and this is not an octopus, is an Evil symbol of and Evil secret organization," said Max glaring at the host.
LeShawna raised an eyebrow. "And which organization is that?"
"I can't tell you. It's a secret organization after all," said Max tapping his finger nervously.
"Right," replied LeShawna, unimpressed at her guest. "And did you have some problem with the chopper way here. Cuz, unlike the other competitors, you seem fine," said LeShawna pointing at Cameron and Jasmine with her thumb.
"Gwahaha, of course, I am alright. That EVIL transport only smashed me against the hotel's wall. Fortunately, I hit it with my head, and my skull is thicker than normal to protect my superior brain. So I didn't suffer any major damage," said Max, smirking and pointing at his head.
"I know, I know, I know," shouted Izzy raising a hand. "I also have a head harder than normal. My head is so hard that I can break coconuts with it. I remember one time big O and I were on vacations in Vancouver, and we found some coconuts and didn't have a machete with us, because I have to drop it after the chase, so I head butt one coconut-"
"Yes, Izzy, you have a hard head girl, but please let's continue with the show," said LeShawna interrupting the redhead girl.
"And Max, using your EVIL genius, who do you predict will win this season?" said Harold imitating Max's EVIL intonation.
"That's easy one McGrady, one of my minions, evil twin or evil shy girl, after all, they have IT, my most EVIL invention. They first have to take down that two-faced traitor Charlotte, but once it is done, any of them can win, Gwahahaha" said Max laughing evilly as a thunder resounded in the background.
LeShawna and Harold looked at the gallery. There Beardo had his hands on his mouth and was imitating the sound of a thunder. After he realized that everyone was looking at him, he blushed and made the sound of recorded laughter.
"That's impossible, that mean Amy can't beat Sammy. Sammy is more honest and diligent than her sister," said Jasmine in a loud voice from the stands.
"Ignorant giant! EVIL is more cunning and perseverant than any good. I am sure EVIL twin will beat your Samey, especially with my invention," said Max, smirking and rubbing his hands.
"Thanks, Max, now please go and sit with the rest of the peanut gallery," said LeShawna sighing.
"Now before calling the last honor guest of today's episode, please remember to register to our website or download our mobile application so you can also be a tyrant," said LeShawna, reading a card, with some doubt at pronouncing the word tyrant.
"That's right. Every day we have different polls. Support your favorite camper, choose which challenge you want to see in the show, and much more. Remember that 6 of the remaining campers will be eliminated by their popularity on the polls, Gosh! That sucks," said Harold, visibly upset by that last part.
"Can you vote for the coolest contestant? Because I would win without a doubt," said Anne Maria spraying her hair and also Jo and Rodney.
"Cough, Stop spraying Gassing Maria, or I will put that can into your nose," said Jo, coughing.
"What did you say to me?" shouted Anne Maria, standing up and glaring at the jockette.
"Girls, stop right now, or I will stop there will not be a third warning," shouted LeShawna standing up and glaring at Jo and Anne Marie.
Neither Jo nor Anne Maria feared LeShawna, but both thought it was better not to make another enemy.
"You are Lucky Tanned Maria," said Jo sitting, and turning her face at the Jersey Girl.
"Yeah, whatever you said." Answered Anne Mariea, folding her arms.
But while they fought, Rodney kept looking at the tanned girl with sparkling eyes. Maybe it was a lesser intoxication caused by the spray, but at that moment, Anne Maria looked like the prettiest girl in the world.
LeShawna frown transformed into a smile after the fight calmed down. "Now let me introduce you the last of today's honor guest, called her hotness, one of the more beautiful and loved members of the show, my girl friend, Lindsay," said LeShawna, standing up and walking toward the left side of the stage.
Lindsay walked into the stage from the left side, she was wearing a red bikini with her red bandana and designer sunglasses. LeShawna hugged her as soon as they meet.
"Welcome, Baby, I'm sorry you come so early," said LeShawna, putting Lindsay head on her shoulder.
"Hello Lesh, don't worry, at least here I don't have to cross gorges or step on legos," said Lindsay, smiling.
LeShawna let go of the hug and sat next to Harold while Lindsay sat the couch next to them.
"Welcome to aftermath for the masses, Lindsay, I didn't know you and LeShawna were such good friends," said Harold, looking with wide eyes first at the sister and then at Lindsay.
"We often meet thanks to his honeypie Tyler," said LeShawna winking.
"Yes, Tyler and Lesh are like the Batman and Robin of Reality TV, they are totally great. It's a shame Tyler is right now in the X-treme decathlon world championship and couldn't be here," Lindsay said, then she looked at the camera. "Tyler, if you see this, best of luck. Your Lindsay is cheering for you."
"LINDSAY NO!" shouted LeShawna, "We were keeping that for the next episode segment of 'Where are they now?'"
Lindsay blinked a couple of times, looking at LeShawna and Harold's distressed expression. "Well, can we cut and record the scene again?"
"No, Aftermath for the masses is not prerecorded. We are broadcasting live, GOSH!" said Harold adjusting his glasses.
"Lindsay, tell them that it was a joke!" shouted Sadie.
"Yes, it was just a joke, you don't know what Tyler is doing right now," shouted Katie.
Lindsay tilted her head, and then said in a robot-like tone, "Oh, yes, I was totally joking about Tyler. I don't know anything about him, so you can talk about him in the next episode," said her hotness winking.
"Leave it at that, Linds." Said LeShawna, smiling but rubbing her temple. "Now tell us, who do you think will win the show?"
"Of course I am rooting for Beth, I think she can do it, and after so much time off the show, she deserves to win," said Lindsay smiling. "If not her, I hope Lightning can take it, he is a nice guy."
"Who Sha-idiot? No way!" Shouted Jo.
"She is right, Linds, that man went unfairly crazy against you. How can you cheer for him?" asked LeShawna looking with wide eyes at her hotness.
"Because he is my friend, and I am sure once he realizes I didn't mean to fool him, we will be friends again," said Lindsay smiling tenderly.
"I don't understand which are the factual basis that helps you to establish that hypothesis about being friends again," said Harold folding his arms.
"Is easy, Harry. Because he reminds me of Tyler, both are jocks and a little gullible, only Lightning is a little more arrogant," said Lindsay, winking.
"Babe, you are wonderful," said LeShawna smiling.
"Now this episode Aftermath for the masses is reaching to its end. It's such a shame," said Harold snapping his fingers.
"But remember, if you are still not a master of this season, what are you waiting for? You only had to buy the mobile app, or subscribe on the website, it's not that expensive," said LeShawna smiling at the camera.
"That's right. My daddy bought it, and he said it is really cheap," said Dakota, raising her head proudly.
"Dakota, your father, thinks that a Rolex is cheap," said Sam, raising both eyebrows.
"Because they are, isn't it? That's why he collects them," replied the fame-monger shrugging.
"What the former mutant lady said. Bought it now, remember there are still 6 challenges, 6 eliminations and 1 team swap that you can vote, and your vote can be the decisive factor in this equation," said Harold, pointing at the camera.
"For those prices maybe they are also EVIL geniuses," said Max frowning and rolling his eyes,
The sister with a 'tude ignored him. "That is all for this episode, thanks for watching us. Next time we will go back to the show, remember to keep voting because, in this season, you are the master. This was Aftermath for the masses. See you next time." said Lesahwna waving at the camera.

Unexpected? I hope so, I thought a lot about making or not making the aftermath show, and in the end, I decided to write it. I hope you enjoy it. The Aftermath will be every 4 episodes.
