The camera turned on and immediately focused on Chris McLean's annoyed face as he was standing in the same office that he was yesterday.

-Stupid Matt, making me come earlier and turn that camera on. Not to mention that he is already late.- Chris, who was wearing his usual attire, started complaining with visible annoyance all over him as he turned the camera on and took his place, on one of the chairs next to the desk, and started looking through some of the apps, left on it.

-At least he left some of those apps again so I could kill some time.- Chris commented as he started reading a few of them.

Then, after a few minutes, the doors into the office opened and Matt entered the room. He was wearing a red dress shirt as well as an old-fashioned, yellow vest on top of it. He was also wearing another pair of brown jeans, similar to those he was wearing the day before, and black, leather boots. He also had a black top hat on top of his head and a black cane in his right hand.

As soon as he entered the room though, Chris started to downright laugh.

-Hey!- Matt yelled, now blushing really hard.

-I can't! Hahahaha! I just can't.- Chris commented as he wiped away the tears.- I wasn't aware that we had Halloween today.- Chris joked and begun to laugh again.

-Yeah, yeah, I get it. You think my fashion sense is funny.- Matt grunted as he took off his vest and top hat and placed them on the nearby hatstand.

-Seriously, you're the worst fashion disaster that I know.- Chris commented after a moment.- Ever since High school!

-Please stop.- Matt asked, blushing from embarrassment.

-You can't deny this though.- Chris added with a smirk.

-Chris. My choice of attire and clothing isn't the matter of this meeting and you know it all too well.- Matt said with all seriousness.- So please stop.- Matt begged Chris, really pink in the face.

-Ugh...fine!- Chris groaned in annoyance.- You were saying something about a co-host last time, weren't you?- Chris asked as he tried to recall that fact.

-Oh, yeah! He would take care of the kitchen, cafeteria and would help you hosting the challenges. He can also act as an intern if any of them injure themselves.- Matt explained the tasks of the said co-host.

-Hmmm...sounds fair. So when am I gonna meet this mysterious "he"?- Chris joked.- But seriously, when?- Chris added after a second.

-Relax, big baby.- Matt started teasing with Chris.- He will come to our meeting today so you could meet him. He will also help us choose the next couple of contestants.

-Okay. When will he arrive, by the way?- Chris asked his friend.

-Well...he should be here any minute now.- Matt commented when he looked at his wristwatch and in the same moment a man entered the room. He had bronze skin and black eyes. He was wearing a yellow shirt alongside the green trousers as well as black army boots. He was also wearing a white apron and white chef hat.

-Oh, there he is!- Matt exclaimed.- Chris meet your new co-host: Chef Hatchet!- Matt introduced the man to his friend.

-Chef?!- Chris asked in surprise.

-Chris? Is that you?- Chef asked in surprise as well.

-Of course it's me! Who else would be this beautiful!- Chris joked and started laughing.

-Okay...I'm so confused right now.- Matt commented to himself, not understanding what is happening in front of him.

-I've never even thought that you would be my co-host, Chef. That just shows how small this world really is.- Chris commented.

-So...you know each other?- Matt finally asked.

-Know each other?- Chef asked.- Mr. Fresh, Chris' father and I were childhood friends and even served together in the army for some time.- Chef explained.- I was even made Chris' godfather when he was born.

-Since when is Chris Catholic?- Matt asked.

-Oh, I'm not. I was just baptized cause my father was a religion freak.- Chris explained.- But it doesn't matter. Chef's like my closest family and friend since...forever! He would be perfect for the job!- Chris exclaimed.

-Well, it's nice to see you two getting along so well.- Matt commented with a smile.

-Anyway, how's it going Chef?- Chris asked his friend.- I haven't heard from you ever since my father's funeral.- Chris said as he looked at Chef.

-Oh, I've just been going around. Looking for job and all. I even worked for military as a cook for some time but they replaced me with someone younger. I mean...HOW COULD THEY?!- Chef explained, looking visibly angry while reminding himself of that fact.- Since then I gained some smaller, cooking jobs like that time at the restaurant. Unfortunately they didn't like me for my attitude. Now that's just bulls**t!- Chef cursed with anger.

-Totally!- Chris replied.- Let me tell you that the work in the company isn't easy too. They want to fire me, can you believe that?!- Chris asked, still looking surprised and angry by that fact.- Apparently TDI is my last chance to prove my importance.

-They wouldn't! What about your incredible film roles? Like that badminton movie...I cried while watching it.- Chef admitted, even though looking quite embarrassed by the thought.

-Yeah, but with you as co-host, I'm sure I'll do great!- Chris announced.- Well, as long as you don't get in my way.- Chris added.

-What's that supposed to mean?- Chef asked as he raised his eyebrow in suspicion.

-Nothing!- Chris replied quickly.- Anyway...Something else happened?- Chris asked.

-Well, I applied into some cooking competitions. Unfortunately I didn't win any.- Chef added with the sigh of defeat.

-Oh, don't be so hard on yourself. I'm sure that they will appreciate you after they see you on the show.- Chris assured his friend.

-Thanks, Chris.- Chef replied with a smile.

-Ummm...Not that I want to interrupt your whole reunion but I'm kinda in a hurry.- Matt interrupted the two friends, as he started rubbing the back of his head and chuckling in embarrassment.

-Oh shoot! That's right. I completely forgot. We have the cast to choose.- Chris reminded himself and grabbed the first file from the desk.

-An' why are you in such a hurry?- Chef asked Matt as Chris looked through various files at the same time.

-Oh! We...I mean the producers...have another meeting regarding the challenges that would appear in the show.- Matt said quickly.

-What?! Already?! But we still haven't picked the cast!- Chris pointed out, now sounding a little bit scared.

-Relax, Chris. It's just a few pre-merge ones. I'm actually hoping that I could show you some of them on our next meeting.- Matt explained to the host.

-I'm curious what the producers came up with.- Chef added with a smirk.- Hopefully something kitchen related. That would be nice. But they better stay out of my kitchen though.- Chef said with a grunt.

-Oh, that reminds me, what the other producers thought about my ideas for challenges?- Chris asked with curiosity in his voice.

-Well, some of them will make the cut for sure. The producers really like the idea of putting the kids in danger already in the first episode.- Matt replied.

-Yes! I knew that they would come around and appreciate my genius!- Chris exclaimed while praising himself.

-But let's not forget about the matter at hand.- Matt reminded his friend.

-Oh, yeah, the cast.- Chris added as he opened the next file.- Oh, look Chef, you're gonna love that one!- Chris said happily as he handed the file to his friend.

-Charles Edward Classon.- Chef read the name of the boy from the file.- A survival expert? I see, my kind of guy.- Chef added after a second.

-Not to mention that a survival expert in the season where main theme is camping and surviving the wild nature? He's perfect for this!- Chris announced as he immediately placed his file in the box of accepted people.

-Well, I can't argue with that.- Matt replied after a minute.

-No, you can't.- Chris replied.- Just like you can't argue with my next choice!

-Please don't tell me what I think you're thinking.- Matt sighed and started shaking his head.

-Every great show needs a bad boy!- Chris exclaimed.

-I already don't like the idea.- Chef grunted in annoyance.- You know that I have no patience towards rule-breakers.- Chef added after a moment.

-Oh, Chef...chill out.- Chris replied to his friend.- People love bad boys. It's like the only thing most teenage girls or even boys are attracted to are! That's why we need Duncan! Not only do I sense that he would be a fan favorite but I already sense him getting a few admires!- Chris explained with a smirk on his face.

-I still don't like the idea of him being in the show.- Chef continued complaining about that particular pick.

-Not to mention that you talk about him as some sort of Casanova while he is just some delinquent who is probably only applying to escape from juvie.- Matt pointed out to Chris and rolled his eyes.

-Yeah, yeah. You don't like him while me and other producers do like him. He's in.- Chris announced, totally ignoring the protests of his friends and co-workers.

-I have the feeling that this isn't gonna end too well.- Matt sighed while Chef nodded.

-Oh, relax! I know what I'm doing!- Chris replied with a big smirk on his face.- It's not like he would blow up a cottage or something.- Chris joked and chuckled a little bit.

-Fine. So be it...But the next two people are chosen by me and Chef.- Matt commented with a smirk of his own as he crossed his arms.

-Ugh! Fine!- Chris replied with annoyance in his voice.

The camera then showed Chef and Matt looking through some of the files on the desk while Chris just stood up and started walking around the room without any objective.

-Are you done yet?- Chris asked, already looking bored.

-Some patience, Chris.- Matt replied and rolled his eyes.

-Yeah, stop being a big baby and let us decide.- Chef replied as he continued looking through several files.- Oh, would you look at that! She has a really interesting audition tape!- Chef announced as he looked at the transcript of the tape.

-She has? What's her name?- Matt asked, sounding curious about the identity of the girl.

-Her name's Courtney.- Chef replied.- She has some fearsome attitude. Not to mention that she's promising to donate two new pop machines for the cafeteria...Oh, wait...- Chef added as he looked more thorough at the audition.

-Oh, she's a CIT. She could fit nicely in the game, what do you think, Chris?- Matt asked as he noticed that particular detail in her file.

-Whatever.- Chris replied as he rolled his eyes.- As long as she doesn't sue me or threaten me with lawyers then I'm good.- Chris replied and Matt put her application in the "accepted" pile.

-Also speaking of Courtney...- Matt started.- I found someone really similar to her but not quite. I think she could fit in the season as well. Not to mention that those two could have a really promising rivalry.- Matt explained as he handed the file of a girl, he was talking about, to Chef.

-So who's this really promising girl?- Chris asked sarcastically as he approached the desk.

-Her name is Kylie.- Matt replied with a smile.

-Which Kylie? Cause I'm almost certain that I've seen the apps of seven girls, named like that.- Chris replied while rolling his eyes.

-Kylie Conroy. She devouts herself to motivate even the weakest people into self-improvement. And a way in which she does it. It's really interesting.- Matt explained with a smirk on his face.

-You just sounded like some sort of sadist...I'm so proud of you.- Chris replied and wiped away his joy tear.

-What can I say. 15 years of being friends with you may have rubbed on me, just a little.- Matt replied with a laugh.- But seriously, I think she might be an interesting addition. She would be the biggest fear of all the geeks that we accept.

-Hmmm...If that's what we're goin' for...- Chef started.- Then why not accept him as well.- Chef said with a smirk on his face as he handed the next file to Matt and Chris, who now stood right beside the co-producer.

-Harold Norbert Cheever Doris McGrady V. A total dweeb. Not to mention that he claims to have some sort of "mad skills". He's perfect!- Matt exclaimed.- Good job on finding this one, Chef.

-No problem. I just like to be appreciated.- Chef replied with a smile of his own.

-Who doesn't!- Chris exclaimed with a smirk.- Anyway, I already sense some good drama between the guys, we chose so far.- Chris added after a second.

-The producers should be really happy with your picks, guys. This cast would be great! I just know it!- Matt said with a genuine smile on his face.- And talking about producers, I have another meeting that I have to take part in.- Matt reminded the two co-hosts as he put on his vest and top hat.

-Did I ever commented on how weird your fashion style is?- Chris commented, trying to hold back a laugh.

-Yes, on several occasions, actually.- Matt replied with a roll of his eyes.

-Ummm...Should we meet again soon?- Chef interrupted the two and asked his question.

-Oh, right. We should meet to choose the rest of the cast, shouldn't we?- Matt asked as he started looking through his phone.

-When would you want to meet?- Chris asked his friend.

-What about this weekend. I should have a free Saturday and we could go somewhere afterwards.- Matt suggested to both other guys.

-Sounds cool!- Chris replied.

-Count me in. I also have a day off then.- Chef replied with a smile.

-Great!- Matt exclaimed with happiness.- Come to my house at 1 pm. I will prepare everything for then!- Matt said as he headed towards the doors.

-Wait? Where do you live, anyway?- Chef asked, not knowing that fact.

-Chris knows, just come with him.- Matt replied.- Okay, I really have to go now, till Saturday!- Matt said cheerfully, waved to his friends and left the room, leaving Chris and Chef alone.

-So...what now?- Chris asked, not sure what they should do.

-Don't know.- Chef replied as he started looking away.

-Sooooo...ummm...I heard that there was a new movie coming out today. Wanna come? We could reminisce about the old days!- Chris proposed the idea to Chef who remained silent.

-Or not.- Chris replied and started rubbing the back of his head from nervousness.

-I need to be going.- Chef suddenly said as he stood up.- I still have some business to attend.- Chef said as he headed towards doors.

-Oh, I could go with you. I'm kinda bored anyway, what do you think?- Chris asked with a smile.

-If you doesn't mind going to the award ceremony for the latest cooking contest, I took part in, then let's go.- Chef commented.

-Cooking contest?- Chris asked.

-What? I have my standards, you know. I would've even won the last one if it wasn't for that stupid, Mexican, excuse of a cook.- Chef said angrily.- I think that he's name was Juan Rodriguez...or something like that. I hate the guy!- Chef added, still sounding really angry.

-Woah, chill out, Chef! If it make you feel better then in my eyes, you're the best chef on the entire planet.- Chris commented while Chef smiled with joy.

-Thanks, Chris. It means a lot to me.- Chef replied.- So then, shall we go?- Chef asked.

-Hell yeah!- Chris replied as he took his hand from the desk, accidentally slipping one of the files on the desk into the box with other accepted people.

The camera then showed oblivious, to what he had just done, Chris and Chef as they left the office together.

The camera focused then on the inside of the box with accepted apps and with the blow of the wind, the file that had accidentally fallen into the box opened, revealing the name Maxwell "Maxine" Sarver.

After that the camera's battery has run out and it turned off, creating static in the process.


WELCOME BACK!

Hi, once again it's me, MTDN. This time with the second reveal of the Island cast which introduced you to Chef and another six contestants of the show. Once again, do not fret if your character isn't on the list, yet. True, I already closed the SYOC and have the entire cast but I would like to keep you waiting for the rest a little longer. Also, just for your information, I had a really big problem with rejecting a few characters and that's why FIVE of the OCs that you guys applied were already chosen to become interns! That's right. 5 OCs that you applied will be interns instead of competitors. I know that this might sound unfair, but I really wanted to use those guys but couldn't have an even bigger cast. I hope you will understand that.

Anyway, from original characters, we have an iconic TDA trio: Duncan, Courtney and Harold. Both Duncan and Harold placed really high on the poll I created and even, ironically, both ended in the 5th place in the said poll. They didn't won but still, the people love them so I decided to include them. As for Courtney...Well I have Duncan...and Gwen...so I thought why not to have Courtney in as well...This is gonna get dirty.

Hope you liked the introduction of Chef Hatchet. He is one of my faves but I really feel like I don't know how to write him. Hopefully the two next reveals and your tips would help me XD! Also I couldn't find anywhere any facts about Chef's age or something like that so I went with something more original, so please don't hate me if you have different headcanons...
