Total Drama: Revenge of the Film Set

Episode 5: The Aftermath I


The Total Drama Aftermath theme song played before fading to the couch where Geoff and Bridgette sat in front of a live studio audience.

"Welcome to the Total Drama Aftermath, everybody," Geoff said.

"It is sooooo great to be back," Bridgette said.

"Man, it's been, what? Six seasons since the last aftermath episode?"

"Um, that would be a continuity error, Geoff," Bridgette said. "It's been two seasons since the last Aftermath. Anyway, I'm Bridgette."

"And I'm Geoff."

"And we're here for another totally dramatic episode of the Total Drama Aftermath show!"

"And, introducing the peanut gallery, it's-" Bridgette held her arm out toward an empty peanut gallery on her left. "Oh, um... Introducing the peanut gallery on the..." The benches on the other side of the room were empty, as well.

"Oh, yeah, I forgot to tell you," Geoff said. "Apparently there is no peanut gallery this time around. Chris said that the underdog contestants are bad for ratings."

"Oh, well... I guess it's just you, me, and our guests tonight, huh, Geoff?"

"Yep, and man, six contestants were eliminated in just four episodes," Geoff said, crossing his legs and leaning back against the chair, relaxed. "That must be a new record."

Bridgette's eyebrows turned up in a devastated expression. "Yeah, and I can't believe only two of them can show up tonight. Dave and Heather were eaten alive, Courtney's a monster-"

"Wasn't she always?" Geoff said with a chuckle.

"Not funny, Geoff," Bridgette said. "And Scott's still in the hospital since he was fired into a plane by Owen's butt."

"Bummer, dudes..." Geoff said. "Oh well, we still have Shawn and Sugar, so let's bring 'em out here!"

Shawn and Sugar walked on stage as the crowd cheered, and took their seats. Sugar was plump as she'd ever been, like her body never even changed in the previous episode.

"Sugar, you look..." Geoff scratched his head in confusion. "Um... what happened to your more muscular, physically fit self?"

Sugar gave a dismissive hand wave. "Oh, that? Well, it just felt weird to not have any junk in my trunk. I was sick of being an ugly bean pole like blondie over here-" She pointed her thumb in Bridgette's direction, inviting an angry glare from the surfer girl. "-and, since I'm no longer in the competition, I don't need to be all muscly or anything. So, I just hit the reset button in my head again, and poof! I instantly went back to my curvaceous bombshell self."

"Okaaaay... well, anyway," Bridgette continued. "Shawn, you must've been devastated after Jasmine broke up with you."

Shawn slumped in his chair. "Oh, man, do we really need to talk about this? I just want to hide in a zombie bunker all day."

"Well, how did it feel to be the first booted out after making it so far last season?" Geoff said.

Shawn shrugged. "It's whatever, you know? It couldn't have hurt worse than Jasmine's breakup."

"Especially since you went totally bananas!" Sugar said, kicking her feet as she laughed. She smacked him hard on the back. "You were running around like a chicken with its head bitten off. I ain't never seen anything crazier than that."

Shawn gave a long sigh and slumped even lower in the couch.

"Hmmm... maybe we should take a quick break before prodding Shawn any further," Bridgette suggested.

"Alright, I guess it's time for: That's Gonna Leave a Mark," Geoff said.

Several clips of contestants getting hurt played before the screen that hovered over the studio, accompanied by laugh tracks that didn't make the clips any funnier in the slightest. A large majority of the segment only showed clips of the male characters getting hit in the "kiwis", as well.

After the clips played, Geoff, Bridgette, Sugar and Shawn continued to talk about absolutely nothing for the rest of the episode. Nothing significant happened, and even for an eleven-minute episode it still dragged on endlessly with pointless dialogue. In the true fashion of a filler episode, nothing new or truly interesting was revealed about any of the characters, and the episode ended as one of the most forgettable episodes in the history of the Total Drama series.
