Ben had made it to the island, being the first to arrive out of all of the competitors.
"Up first, Ben." Chris said as he gave Ben a handshake. "I hear that you've got a fancy watch or something... The Ultimate Matrix?"
"It's called the Ultimatrix." Ben answered. "It can turn me into different aliens to protect the universe."
"Wait? Are you that Ben Tennyson kid that everyone talks about?" Chris asked.
"Yes. I'm him." Ben answered.
"Let me guess. You're here because of some sort of power-up thingy? Or are you here because of a secret mission from the plumbers?" Chris asked.
"I'm actually here because I'm hoping to make some money off of this show." Ben answered.
"Can you turn into an alien to show the audience what you can truly do?" Chris asked.
"Not right now. I've gotta save it's energy." Ben answered.
Ben went to the other side of the dock and then Beth came on the island.
"Hi, name's Ben." Ben said to Beth as he offered to shake hands.
"Wait... Oh my gosh! You're Ben Tennyson!" Beth squealed.
After the next few introductions, it came for Heather's introduction.
"Heather." Chris said.
"Hi, the name's Ben... Ben Tennyson." Ben said, but Heather just ignored him.
"Sheesh, she's like a mix of Batman and Grandpa Max." Ben thought to himself
The next few introductions came around and then it came time for Courtney's introduction.
"Courtney." Chris announced.
"How's it going? I'm Owen." Owen said to Courtney.
"Hi Ow... Wow." Courtney said as she glanced at Justin.
"Justin." Chris announced.
The rest of the introductions came around and Chris got everyone for a group photo.
"First things first. We need a group photo for the promos. Everyone on the end of the dock! *they walk there* Okay! One, two, three. *Snap* Oops! Okay, forgot the lens cap. *click* Okay, hold that pose. One, tw-. Oh wait, cards full. Hang on." Chris said as he got the camera ready.
"Come on, man. My face is starting to freeze." Leshawna impatiently said as she rolled her eyes
"Same." Ben stated as well.
"Got it, okay. Everyone say Wawanakwa!" Chris said as he clicked the camera.
"WAWANAKWA! *snap* AHHH!" The campers shouted as they fell into the water.
"Okay guys. Dry off and meet at the campfire pit in 10." Chris told everyone. "This is Camp Wawanakwa, your home for the next eight weeks. The campers sitting around you will be you cabin mates, your competition, and maybe even your friends. Ya dig? The camper who manages to stay on Total Drama Island the longest without getting voted off will win $100,000!"
"Excuse me? What will the sleeping arrangements be? Because I'd like to request a bunk under her." Duncan asked Chris while pointing at Heather.
"They're not co-ed, are they?" Heather asked I retaliattion.
"Noooo. Girls get one side of each cabin and dudes get the other." Chris explained.
"Excuse me, Kyle. Can I have a cabin with the lake view since I'm the prettiest?" Lindsay asked Chris.
"Okay, you are. But that's not really how it works here and it's Chris." Chris said.
"I have to live with Sadie or, I'll die." Katie said.
"And I'll break out in hives. It's true." Sadie pointed out.
"This cannot be happening." Gwen said.
Awww come on guys! It'll be fun, it's like a big sleepover!" Owen said as he hugged Gwen and Tyler.
"At least you don't have to sleep next to him." Tyler pointed out to Gwen.
"Now to assign your teams, Gwen, Trent, Heather, Cody, Lindsay, Beth, Katie, Owen, Leshawna, Justin, and Noah, you're The Screaming Gophers. Geoff, Bridgette, DJ, Tyler, Sadie, Izzy, Courtney, Ben, Ezekiel, Duncan, Eva, and Harold, you'll be The Killer Bass."
"What?! But Sadie and I can't be on opposite teams!" Katie retaliated.
"Katie's a gopher! I have to be a gopher!" Sadie shouted as Courtney went to comfort her.
"Sadie, is it? Come on, it'll be okay." Courtney said soothingly.
"This is so unfair! I miss you Katie!" Sadie said to Katie.
"I miss you too!" Katie said to Sadie.
"All right, campers, you and your team will be on camera in all public areas during this competition." Chris said as he pointed out the hidden cameras.
Confessional
Chris: "You will also be able to share your innermost thoughts on tape with video diaries anytime you want. Let the audience at home know what you're really thinking. Or just get something off your chest."
Confessional
Gwen: "Um, ok... So far, this stinks."
Confessional
Lindsay: "Um, I don't get it. Where's the camera guy?"

A duck quacks while doing make-up.

Ben: "I'm not going to be using the Ultimatrix as my own personal device to get me further into the game. I'm only here for the money I'll get once I win."
Confessional
Owen: "Hey everyone. Check this out. I have something very important to say. *farts* * laughs*"
End of Confessionals
"All right. Any questions? Cool. Let's find your cabins. Gophers, you're in the east cabin. Bass, you're in the west." Chris said as the teams went into their team cabins.
"Bunk Beds? Isn't that a little summer camp?" Heather wondered.
"That's the idea, genius" Gwen sarcastically stated.
"Shut up, weird goth girl!" Heather told Gwen
"You're so smart, I feel that." Cody flirted with Gwen.
"Should you be on the boy's side?!" Gwen asked Cody.
Meanwhile in the Killer Bass cabin, Ben has gone Four Arms while he is unpacking when DJ has a question about the Ultimatrix.
"Regular me probably won't get this done before sunset..." Ben thought as he turned into Four Arms.
"FOUR ARMS! But Four Arms sure can!" Four Arms shouted.
Just then, DJ walked into the cabin.
"Hey Ben! I have a question!" DJ shouted.
"What do you need to ask?" Ben (still as Four Arms) asked.
"How did you get the Ultimatrix?" DJ asked.
Ben transformed back into himself and told DJ this...
"Well, it's a looooooooooooooooooooooooong story, my evil clone Albedo were fighting and i put his Ultimatrix on self-destruct mode and he gives me it and then I turn the self-destruct off and... POW! I have the Ultimatrix." Ben explained to DJ.
Meanwhile outside, Lindsay asks a question.
"Where are the outlets? I have to plug in my straightening iron." Lindsay asked.
"There are some in the communal bathrooms. Just across the way." Chris answered.
"Communal bathrooms? Oh I'm not Catholic." Lindsay said.
"Not Communion, Communal." Chris pointed out.
"It means we shower together, idiot." Gwen said.
"Awwwww..."
"I'm glad we're in our own cabin with just guys. Know what I mean? *laughs* *crickets chirp* I mean no! I didn't mean it like that! I love chicks. *laughs* I just don't wanna sleep near them. *incoherent noises* I mean.." Owen jokingly said.
"Excuse me, Chris? Is there, uh, a chaperone of any kind in this facility here?" Geoff asked Chris.
"You're all 16 years old, as old as a counselor in training at a regular summer camp. So other than myself. You'll be unsupervised. You've got half an hour to unpack and meet me back at the main lodge, starting now." Chris answered.
"Nice!" Geoff said as he went into the men's side of The Killer Bass cabin.
Meanwhile, Lindsay sees a cockroach.
"Ahhh!" Lindsay screamed.
"Man that white girl can scream." Leshawna said.
"What is it? Kill it, kill it!" Lindsay screamed.
DJ gasps then screams like a girl, then crashed into Gwen's bed and hen he shuders.
"That... That... Was my bed." Gwen said.
The campers scream and attempt to squish it, but Ben transforms into Rath.
"RATH! Let me tell you something cockroach! I don't want cockroaches to Rome free in these cabins, even if they're in enemy territory." Rath shouted.
"Help me..." The cockroach said as he got squished by Rath.
"Well, that's one way to kill a cockroach." Gwen sarcastically stated.
"Awesome." Harold commented
"Rath does what Rath can." Rath said as he transformed back into Ben.
Meanwhile, Tyler said something to Lindsay.
"If you ever see one of those again, just let me know, k? Cause, you know, I could do that too. If I had an Omnitrix or Ultimatrix, that is." Tyler said to Lindsay.
"They always go for the jocks." Duncan scoffed.
Meanwhile in the Craft Services Tent, everyone got their food before their first challenge.
"Listen up! I serve it three times a day and you'll eat it three times a day! Grab a tray, get your food, and sit your butts down, NOW!" Chef yelled.
"Excuse me, but will we be getting all the major food groups?" Beth asked.
"Yeah, cause I get hypoglycemic real bad if I don't get enough sugar." Harold stated.
"You'll get, sit your butt down!" Chef yelled.
"Have a cow." Owen said.
"What was that?! *silence* Come closer, big guy! I didn't hear you!" Chef said.
"Oh, I didn't really say anything important." Owen reassured Chef.
"I'm sure you didn't! You! Tennyson kid, give me your plate." Chef said to Ben
"Well this won't be as bad as Grandpa Max's cooking." Ben said to himself.
"You ain't gettin' gruel... I wouldn't be cruel to a celebrity. You're getting a gourmet dish." Chef said as Ben sat down at the Killer Bass tabel.
"Yo, what's up girl? *silence* Oh, it's gonna be like that, is it?" Leshawna said as Chef screamed.
"Excuse me, my nutritionist says I shouldn't eat any white sugar, white flour, or like dairy." Lindsay said.
Crunch!
"I don't think that's gonna be a problem." Gwen sarcastically said as her sandwich started to move.
"Cool." Lindsay said
"Okay, I hate to be predictable and complain on the first day but I think mine just moved." Gwen sheepishly said as Chef slammed a hammer on her food.
"Right! Okay, then." She said as something slithers.
"Welcome to the Main Lodge!" Chris announced.
"Yo, my man. Can we order a pizza? *chef throws a cleaver* Whoa! Its' cool G! Brown slop is cool! *laughs nervously* Right guys?" Geoff said as the other campers nod in agreement.
"Your first challenge begins, in one hour!" Chris announced.
"What do you think they'll make us do?" Katie wondered.
"Hopefully something not too hard, nor too easy." Ben said.
"It's our first challenge, how hard can it be?" DJ said as the competitors were revealed to be on a cliff.
"Next time on Total Drama Island. Your first task is to jump off this 1,000 foot high cliff into the lake." Chris announced.
Confessional
Geoff: "I'm looking at this guy and thinking, there's no way he's gonna make it."
Confessional
Gwen: "I actually thought if he jumps this. He's gonna die."
Confessional
Ben: "Wow, if he jumps, he could make a huuuuuuuuuuge splash like Cannonbolt, or maybe even Humungosaur!"
End of Confessionals
"I'm going to die now. I'm going to freaking die now." Owen screamed.
