Review Responses
WeirdAlfan 101: Thanks a bunch, man!
Ellismskd24: I like that game, too!
gman5846: Thank you!
Crosshot: Yeah, sorry for the long wait times. And thanks for your support!
Omega Leonidas: Thanks! I'll see ya later!
Vladitor: Indeed.
Darkwing: No arguments, there!
lordgemini: Indeed. It seemed to me that the writers were embarrassed about the cast and didn't want them in the finale. It felt really weak of them. And it denied closure for several characters that really needed it. I also felt they all deserved a chance to shine, except for Sugar, because screw her. I can never forgive her, not because of what she did, but because she got away with it. I'm glad you're not too disappointed with Dave's loss because I couldn't have him be the official winner here, because of obvious reasons. But thanks for your support! Your reviews are always fun to read and I enjoyed them all.
LaCuevademisgustos: Thank you!
danifan3000: Nice to hear that!
MatiasND: Thank you!
CMC: Yeah, I remember Chris saying he would shoot the loser of the day out of the cannon, and that ended up not being the case. As for the network, they're probably just corrupt as Chris, and that's why he gets away with so much crap.
Razenoid: I see what you did there! Thanks!
Lone Wolf: You're about to find out!
romeoaifesili: Yeah, Shawn helping Sammy was a good suggestion! And glad you were okay either way! For me, it's not always like that. Yes, nearly everyone deserved a bit of closure and development, except for Sugar, who I hate, and Amy, who everyone else hates. I suppose I could have done more with them, but I didn't care enough to do so.
Polaron: Indeed.
SuperSonicHeroes: Thank you much!
Rockin' D-99: Why, thank you, man! Yes, of course, I brought back the peanut gallery. The characters weren't all one-hundred percent terrible, so I felt they had no excuse to not bring them back to watch and get closure. Speaking of which, I know you've said before that Rodney had more potential than he lived up to (imagine that), and that you wanted to like him more than you do, so I figured a bit of growth here was possible. And while I did expect people to be disappointed with Beardo's elimination, it was heavier than I expected, so I gave him a significant part here. And I know several people don't like Scarlett and can see why, but I know people who do like her, and I felt I'd make it up to them by having Cameron get her feet on the path to redemption. And yes, Sammy was the clear choice to win, given my recent history. Once again, thank you so much!
AnonBrowser: Yup, I couldn't give Dave that honor twice in a row, no matter how much sympathy I have for him. As for who the other finalists would support, Owen would root for both of them, because he's Owen. Beth would root for Sammy because the two have had similar journeys wiggling out from under the thumb of a bully and the fact that Sammy said that Beth was her favorite. Alejandro would endorse Sammy due to him also having an abusive elder sibling. Lightning would support Sammy for the same reason Duncan did. And Mike would take Dave's side because he empathizes with Dave's mental issues and everyone else is rooting for Sammy. As for Scarlett, even though she was the antagonist of the season, I don't hate her and I wanted those that do like her to get some closure, as I did with nearly everyone else. Looking back, I do kinda wish I'd done a bit more with Ella here. But thanks for your support all the way through!
JustANobody2: Maybe. Just maybe...
Vipron: Indeed.
Magmahound: Yup!
Aquarius: Yes, I'm quite proud. As for what I'm doing next, I'll answer that in the author's note below.
Stormblade: Yes, she definitely needed that!
Dragontron: That was my goal!
MDReborn: Thank you very much, man!
Christina Correa: Thank you! Yeah, I enjoyed TDPI for the most part but can't deny that there are a few scenes that just should not have happened.
Gucci Mane LaFlare: That's what I was aiming for!
tjm: You're about to find out.
Alternate Ending
"(BLEEP!)" cried both of the finalists, their profanity echoing across the island.
"There! That should do it!" said Leonard. He put down his controller and folded his arms, confident that he and the other hinderers had won.
"What do we do, now?!" Sammy yelled, panicking.
"We'd need an avalanche to get down there in time!" Dave cried.
"IT'S NOT FAIR!" Sammy screamed, stamping her feet. "NO! NO! NO! NO!" she jumped up and down. She then fell to her knees and started sobbing.
"TWENTY SECONDS LEFT!" Chris announced.
"Now's not the time for throwing tantrums!" Dave scolded.
"But Amy wins!" Sammy wailed.
"Not yet, she hasn't!" said Dave.
"Yes, she has!"
"Sugar, everyone hates you!" Dave called. "I'd call you a disgusting pig, but that would be an insult to disgusting pigs! Ella is a million times the girl you'll ever be! A million times prettier, a million times more talented, a million times more charming, and a million times the person you'll ever be!"
The earth began rumbling as though something humongous was tunneling underground. Dave and Sammy thought it might have been the mechanical dragon. Whatever it was, it was burrowing towards them, coming up through the mountain.
"What have you done?!" Sammy cried, terrified. Dave grinned.
CRACK!
With a literal earth-shattering crack, the Cannon of Shame popped out of the top of the mountain.
"HAVE YOU LOST YOUR MARBLES?!" Sammy screamed.
KABOOM!
The cannon was empty, but the loud gunshot was enough to rend the mountain apart and cause an avalanche. Dave and Sammy tumbled down towards the finish line but they were both lost in the falling snow. Those seated in the peanut gallery were shocked and terrified. The hinderers watched with sadistic glee, except for Leonard, whose expression was more similar to those in the peanut gallery.
"Six… five… four…" Chris counted down. "Three… two… one…"
HONK!
Right before Chris honked the air horn, a wave of snow hit ground level and crossed the finish line.
"Game over!" Chris cried.
Max, Amy, and Sugar cheered victoriously.
"Are they okay?" Leonard asked.
"Who cares?! We W-U-N-N!" Sugar proclaimed.
"Congratulations!" said Chris. "You know what they say: Revenge is a dish best served cold! And in million-dollar competitions!"
Meanwhile, at the peanut gallery, Jasmine and Ella snapped out of their terrified trances, rushed towards the scene of the avalanche, and began to dig through the snow.
"Sammy?!" Jasmine yelled. "Sammy, where are you?!"
"Dave?!" Ella cried. "David?! My prince, please don't be dead!"
"What are you all doing?! Waiting for an invitation?!" Jasmine yelled at the peanut gallery. "Get down here and help us look for them!"
Gwen, Duncan, Cameron, Zoey, Rodney, and Beardo jumped out of the bleachers and began to help shift through the snow. Shawn and Sky arrived a couple seconds later to help.
"Wait!" said Max, growing nervous. "They're not really dead, are they?"
"Of course not!" said Amy, dismissively. "Chris wouldn't actually let anyone die! …Right, Chris?"
"Well, they did sign a release form." said Chris, naughtily.
Amy's smug grin faded into terror.
"No! No! Samey can't die!" Amy cried. "If she's dead, I won't be able to rub my victory in her face!"
"Well, we can check for heat signatures, just to make sure." Chris took Sugar's remote and pressed a couple of buttons. Two heat signatures appeared in the snow, but only one of them was across the finish line.
"Oh, what have we here?" Chris commented.
Back at the finish line, a hand sprouted out of the ground across the finish line. But was it a masculine Indian hand or a feminine Caucasian hand?
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
It was the former.
Gasps went out. Beardo charged towards the hand, seized it, and lifted the winner of Total Drama Pahkitew Island out of the ground. Dave's supporters went wild cheering. Sammy's supporters clapped politely.
"Is it over?" Dave asked.
"You bet your sweet bippy it is!" Beardo exclaimed. Ella, Shawn, and Sky ran over excitedly.
"You won, Dave!" Ella cried.
"I won?!" Dave repeated, shocked.
"You won!" Shawn affirmed.
"You won!" Sky repeated.
Dave's shock turned into ecstasy.
"Yes! I won! I won! Eat your heart out, Ricky!" Dave cried, looking at the nearest camera and flipping the bird at it.
Max and Amy sighed in relief.
"Thank evilness!" Max exclaimed.
"Agreed." said Amy.
"YARGH!" Sugar growled.
Meanwhile, Jasmine dug Sammy up.
"Did I win?" Sammy asked.
"No. Sorry, sheila." said Jasmine solemnly. She hugged the cheerleader as she began to weep softly.
"Not fair…" Sammy sobbed. "It's not fair… After all I went through… Second place! Again!"
"I know, Sammy. But at least this time, you kicked Amy's arse." said Jasmine. It was of little comfort to Sammy. She had come so far, only to crash and burn at the finish line. She had gone through Hell, taken down the devil herself, only to fall short at the last second.
Dave was in a significantly more positive mood. His former teammates were bouncing him up and down into the air in celebration.
"Well, how about that!" Chris cried, arriving with a beautiful silver case, filled with green stacks of paper with even greater beauty. The Tigers set the winner down in front of the host. "Dave wins the million dollars and a spot in the Total Drama Hall of Fame!"
Gwen, Duncan, Heather, Cameron, and Zoey surrounded Dave and clapped for him as Chris handed him the suitcase.
"Atta boy, Dave!" Gwen complimented.
"Yeah! We need more male winners, anyway!" said Duncan. "I was starting to feel outnumbered."
Heather said nothing.
"Well done, David! Well done!" said Cameron.
"Yeah, great job!" said Zoey.
With a look of irrepressible pride, Dave opened the case to get an eyeful of his hard-earned prize. He was mildly disturbed when he saw that the cash had already been separated and packaged into four plastic bags.
"You really were expecting us to fail, weren't you?" said Dave, leering at Chris.
"Well, duh!" said Chris. Dave rolled his eyes and in doing so, noticed Sammy watching him with miserable envy. He turned and walked towards the runner-up.
"Hey, Sammy." said Dave, kindly. "Good game?"
He held out his hand. Sammy said nothing for a second. Eventually, she mustered up the strength to smile and shake his hand.
"Well, at least you're not Amy. Yeah, good game. Congrats."
"Thanks for helping me win." said Dave. At first, Sammy thought Dave was making fun of her, as Amy had done this same thing many times before. Then Dave reached into the case and pulled out a plastic bag containing two-hundred-fifty-thousand Canadian dollars and dropped it into the cheerleader's arms. "There's your share!"
Sammy's eyes popped in shock.
"R-really?" she said.
"Yeah. We had a truce, didn't we?"
"Oh. Right. Thank you!" Sammy hugged Dave.
"Hey, let's get a round of applause for Sammy here!" Dave declared. Everyone present obliged. They clapped and cheered for the runner-up, and Sammy found herself crying again, half-sad, half-happy.
"Well that's nice and all, but it's time for our final elimination of the season!" Chris declared.
"Yours?" Sammy sneered.
"Very funny, Samey. But of course, you know I mean-"
"I second that!" Gwen shouted.
"Yeah, but-"
"That's a fantastic idea!" said Jasmine.
"Yeah, I vote for Chris!" said Duncan, seizing the host from behind and yanking the remote out of his hand.
"All in favor of shooting Chris instead of Sammy?" Heather announced.
"AYE!" said everyone present, raising their hands and grinning wickedly.
"CHEF!" Chris cried desperately. He looked over to his assistant, only to find that he had thrown his hand up with everyone else. "What?! You traitor!"
Chef used a remote control of his own to bring the Cannon down to ground level. Then, Jasmine and Duncan stuffed a squirming Chris into the butt of the huge gun, but not before the delinquent confiscated the host's pants.
"This is outrageous! You can't do this to me! I'm Chris McLean!"
"Yeah, only the... fourth-worst human being on the planet!" said Dave.
KABOOM!
Chris was sent flying across the horizon and far away from Pahkitew Island. The campers all cheered.
"Well, with him gone, it looks like we're going to need someone else to close out the season!" said Topher, eagerly.
"That is very true!" Ella agreed.
"Yeah, why not?" said Sammy.
Just then, the hinderers arrived. Sugar was fuming. Amy looked grumpy, though not as peeved as Sugar. Max was neutral. Leonard walked up to Dave.
"Glad to see you haven't been vanquished." said the larper.
"Um, what?" said Dave.
"Everyone else was attacking so with reckless abandon."
"Oh… Well, thanks, I guess."
"I guess I'll have to find my fortune elsewhere."
"How do you plan to do that?"
"There's another reality show starting up real soon called the Ridonculous Race, and I was thinking of auditioning for that, with my friend, Tammy."
"Well, good luck with that. If you do get on, try not to get kicked off first again! It would be embarrassing if someone from my team was the first boot."
"Don't worry! I've learned my lesson!" said Leonard proudly and he walked off.
"I'll believe it when I see it…" Dave muttered. "Now where is my princess?"
"What did you just say?" said Ella, doing a neck-snapping double-take. Dave grinned, pulled the princess in, and gave her a big smooch.
SMOOCH!
Ella's face turned bright red. She sighed in satisfaction.
Confessional: Ella
"Sky was right! He is a good kisser!"
End Confessional
"How's about you and I go catch a movie or something?" Dave asked slyly.
"Oh, David…!" Ella swooned. "We shall be married in the morning!"
"Wait, what?" Dave asked, his sly demeanor cracking.
"Ella!" Gwen scolded. "You remember what we talked about?!"
Ella shrank in embarrassment.
"Right. Of course!" said Ella. "Sorry, Dave! I've always wanted to say that!"
"That's okay... But where do you know Gwen from? That's kind of a big deal!" Dave asked.
"I'm sorry, my prince. But I promised not to say anything, while on camera." said Ella.
"Good girl." said Gwen.
Epilogue
Everyone had gathered onto Chris's helicopter. As it rose into the air piloted by Chef, we cut to Dave, Topher, and Sammy standing side-by-side at the door, the former holding the silver suitcase.
"And that's for this very, very off season!" Topher narrated. "This is Topher Jacot saying, if you can't stand the pain, stay off the game! This has been… Total… Drama… Pahkitew Island!"
Before closing the door, Topher did a headcount.
"Are we missing someone?" he asked.
"Nope! Definitely not!" said Dave, grinning evilly.
"If you say so, man!" said Topher.
Sugar had walked off to sulk and was left behind.
"Stupid, donkeyheads!" she grumped. Suddenly the dragon popped out of the ground and swallowed her whole. "Aw, crud! Now, how did Chef get out of this?"
Author's note: And that's what would have happened if Dave won. Again thank you all for your support! 300 reviews and 50 faves, I'm damned surprised and proud of what this fic's accomplished! I'm not sure what I want to do next. What do you guys think I should do? I have these ideas:
Total Drama Action Recast (A continuation of Total Drama Island Recast)
Total Drama World Tour Deluxe (A rewrite of TDWT featuring all twenty-four members of the OG cast)
Total Drama Revenge of the Island Reordered (Similar to this fic, TDROTI with a new elimination order)
Total Drama All-Stars Redux (A twenty-six episode rewrite of TDAS, featuring characters from all three generations)
The Ridonculous Race Recast (Similar to this fic, RR with a new elimination order)
