Welcome back to Total Drama Next. In this chapter we'll have the first elimination ceremony, eliminating the first camper.Sit back & enjoy!Confessional Can

Heather- Now that I've gotten my hair back, it's time for me to dominate again with my rookie.

Shawn- It is awesome getting Heather as my mentor. (Whispers) I'll let y'all in on a secret. It's hard to believe, but I actually have a crush on Heather! I loved it when she betrayed all those campers back in TDI. Hell, I wept when she lost her hair, but the cavegirl outfit was a sexy return for that.

Gwen- It sucks that I'm in for another season, but I do have enough company here. Like they say, third time's the charm.

Lindsay- I think this season's going to be fun! There's Kayla, Christina and of course Nate… I mean Noah! BTW, have I said how adorable Noah looks with his book?

Noah- Woohoo, I think this season's going to be real fun. There are a couple of hyperactive people that could seriously get on my nerves. By the way, have I said how irritating Lindsay can get? Seriously, she has been checking me out since she broke up at the end of TDA!

Izzy- Seth's in for it for insulting my Zeke! Hail the power of carrot juice!

Seth- It seems I've made some easy enemies my first day here. It's all right, I'm here to win, and I bet the homeschooler and crack pot won't be here for long.

Cody- Hopefully the Code-miester will be able to pick up some ladies this time.

The 24 campers had gathered at the campfire spot.

"So, the convention is that you get separated into two teams. However, this season, for the first few challenges there will be NO teams! It's just the pro and his rookie! Now, before we get on with the fun, let's adjourn to your dormitories,"

The dormitories were definitely in no better shape than they were in the inaugural season. Critters were crawling all over and the birch was in deep danger of rotting. As several contestants recoiled in disgust at the sight, Chris remained oblivious to their complaints.

"Dorm 1 will be taken by DJ, Ken, Keely and Lindsay,"

Ken just silently picked up his bags, as well as helping with Keely and Lindsay's, before the rest followed.

"Dorm 2 houses Gwen, Ginger, Cody and Danny,"

"Let's go ladies!" Cody and Danny said enthusiastically in unison, almost forgetting that the two ladies did not share their enthusiasm.

"Dorm 3 will be inhabited by Heather, Shawn, Harold and Ally."

"Oh, that nerd and his equally nerdy rookie. Well, at least they're better than weird goth girl and her weird goth friend," Heather commented.

"Dorm 4 will host Izzy, Ted, Ezekiel and of course Seth,"

Izzy was mixed about this. The wild girl and Seth glared daggers at each other as they walked in, but was more reassured by the prairie boy's presence.

"What luck, I got the psycho hose beast," Seth muttered

"Dorm 5 comprises of Katie, Chastity, Noah and Kate,"

"All right. I got the zealous fan girl stereotypes. In hindsight, that would be better than most other combinations," Noah mused.

"Last but not least, Dorm 6 contains Bridgette, Jared, Duncan and Danielle,"

"It would be fine between us, Malibu, wouldn't it?"

"As long as you keep in line,"

"Today, we have an exciting challenge up for you: Survival Of The Fittest. The two- dozen of you will be put to the test with tough obstacles. One by one, you will fall until the end, when the survivors will win immunity for themselves… and their partner!"

Gwen- An obstacle course, really?

They were led to a compound where the obstacle course would be held.

"On your marks, ready, get set, go!"

The opening stretch was fine, with the only possible obstacles being some radios.

"Yeah right, radios. Are you going to program horrifying screaming and roaring into these?" Noah didn't look very intimidated.

"You'll see," Chris responded, as he pushed a button.

Almost instantly, the "My Little Pony" theme song played.

"Oh (bleep)," the two goths said in unison.

Jared and Duncan could not take it any longer, and were on their way out, automatically eliminating both.

Eliminated: Jared & Duncan

"Wow, that was utter crap. As an athlete, I should have done better, but My Little Pony blows," Jared told Chris.

"I knew I should have bailed, instead of continuing on this glorified comedy, once I got the money. My Little Pony sucks ass," Duncan replied.

"Anyway, we blew it but our partners are still in it," the delinquent looked at a nearby monitor to see both Danielle and Bridgette temporarily ahead, unaffected by the anathema that was My Little Pony.

Meanwhile, the remaining 22 were on their way to the next stage, where there were multiple ridiculously big taps. Chastity was about to step through, but drops of a tawny substance petered down. The cheerleader removed her foot just in time for an abundant gush of manure to infiltrate.

"Someone's gonna need a bath at the end of this. You'll have to avoid the incoming manure,"

Lindsay, unsure of what to do, was walking around aimlessly, oblivious when a pile of manure rushed down. Thinking quickly, a nearby tan bookworm grabbed her hand and pulled her away. The act saved the blonde bombshell, but her ravenhair rookie was not so lucky. Horse excretion lathered both of her limbs and torso.

"Have an early shower," Chris, sitting in a lawn chair above, called.

Meanwhile, Seth and Ezekiel had more disagreements over strategy.

"We should look before leaping, eh!"

"We had an opportunity to cross, and you didn't take it! What a dork,"

At the conversation's conclusion, the straightedge individualist shoved the prairie boy right into ugly manure. An infuriated Izzy tried to charge Seth, but the schemer avoided it and sent both Izzy and Teddy into the steaming manure.

"Have fun, farm boys," Seth replied, as he ran off to the next stage.

Eliminated: Keely, Ezekiel, Izzy, Ted

The next stage comprised of weird contraptions. They were gear like, and moved like the chiseled devices as well.

"Don't worry, I've fought ninjas before! I'll show you the Eye of The Tiger,"

Harold tried to show off his mad skills. Allison chuckled encouragingly at her pro's attempt, but the gears changed direction so swiftly and frequently that he lost his balance and was dropped off on a trampoline below.

Hh

One by one, Kate and Danielle tried to get past, but the brave rookies were both wiped out.

While those that attempted to pass found no success, Cody, as well as Noah, who had lost his rookie to the changing gears, was thinking of a plan. Finally, both identified the movement of the gears and proceeded carefully, the rest taking care while following. Soon enough, all 15 campers had conquered the mercurial Chris's third trial.

Eliminated: Harold, Kate, Danielle

The fantastic fifteen then stepped into an unknown room. As they explored, fourteen soon became fourteen, as DJ fainted from seeing the fangs of an anaconda projected on a monitor.

"What a weakling, it's virtual," Seth said, flaunting his snake logo on the vest, as Ken frowned disapprovingly.

Chris's annoying voice came through the speakers. "Campers, that was just the beginning, and I can see DJ's already out of this. You all will watch a ten-minute video clip of random horrifying stuff. Hope that y'all have more guts than our brickhouse,"

The clip featured seemed to hit a raw nerve with several campers. Allison was the next to fail: the combination of being in the dark for a movie and a hologram of a tarantula did it for her. Danny, having survived so long given the gory sights he saw, finally gave in after looking at a butcher maul a pig. Bridgette just shook her head at the animal cruelty as she left, on her own accord. Cody ran off after he heard a bomb defuse, joining his rookie on the sidelines.

As the movie concluded, the content got more family-friendly, but that didn't mean the retirements ceased. As a picture of an obese Anglo-Canadian schoolgirl sitting alone, in a swing was shown, Katie broke down; tears gushing out like a broken dam.

"I hate you all!"

As Katie left, Chastity followed, eliminating them both. The remaining competitors were then cleared to compete in the next level.

Eliminated: DJ, Allison, Danny, Bridgette, Cody, Katie, Chastity

Katie's eyes were ruddy from crying.

"I'm sorry I was such a terrible pro, Chastity. I don't even deserve to be here,"

"It's fine, you're great so far. Chris is to blame for showing that picture, which reminded you of Sadie,"

"Since Sadie and I were inseparable and made some poor decisions, the viewers didn't like us very much. I know it, people were laughing at us when we went home. However, they were never as bad as the kids at our old school before we moved to Toronto. They didn't like me for my skin color, but Sadie had it worse because she was big-boned. They poured liquid over her head, so I stood up for her. I got the short end of the stick too, but that's how we became friends. This is why I get over-sensitive when others call Sadie plump. It's probably too late now, everyone on TV saw my outburst,"

"You're still my friend, no matter what," reassured Chastity.

"Thank you. You're the greatest," Katie said, hugging her rookie.

Meanwhile, the remaining nine competitors went into yet another room. Nothing seemed to happen… until a dodgeball hurtled towards Heather. In an ironically heroic moment, Shawn hurled himself in front on the ball… to get hit in the… unmentionables. The rest pressed on as a soccer ball flew out of the same cannon that released the dodgeball. This was followed by a basketball, and then a football as the campers dodged frantically. After the spheres had settled, there were more than enough to keep the campers busy. This inevitably led to the next casualties:

"What a great challenge, Chris!" Noah cried as he was taken out.

Soon, he was followed by Lindsay, who was finally defeated by a tennis ball after enduring the taxing challenges. This wouldn't have been much of a problem, but the ditz landed on Noah… in somewhere where the sun doesn't shine.

"Uh, Lindsay, could you get off my…"

"Sorry!" the blonde responded merrily, to the heavily blushing bookworm.

Soon, the array of balls came to an end, and the five survivors came through the dust.

Eliminated: Shawn, Noah, Lindsay

"Congratulations, the five of you have won," Chris said to Gwen, Ginger, Ken, Heather and Seth.

"You win immunity for yourself and your rookie, or in Ken and Seth's case, your pro. The rest of you shall report to the campfire for your first elimination ceremony,"

"In addition, since both Gwen and Ginger survived, they get a special reward, a trip to the hot tub!"

Gwen and Ginger smirked at Heather, who then chided Shawn for taking one for the team.

Jared- Well I blew this challenge, from the looks of it; I should have had no problem surviving the last round. However, I guess I do have a decent chance of survival.

Seth- I could have eliminated myself and send Ezekiel home later. But why should I? By single-handedly surviving the entire challenge, I proved that I'm miles ahead of that sexist wannabe.

Katie- I screwed up big time in the video clip horror challenge. I must really suck at this.

Ted- I don't hold grudges, but I'm pissed that Seth shoved me into the manure for nothing. It's only the first day, and he's already acting like a male Heather.

(Izzy interrupts)

Izzy- Seth, (in Scottish accent) prepare to face Izzy The Brave!

"All right, campers, you have cast your votes. There are 15 marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come out to receive your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately walk the Dock of Shame and board the boat of losers. You can't come back… Ever!"

"Noah…

Chastity…

Danny…

Danielle…

Harold…

Ted…

Izzy…

Jared…

Kate…

Bridgette…

Cody…

Lindsay…

Allison

& Duncan."

"Katie, Keely, this is the final marshmallow of the evening. And it goes to…"

Lindsay started to worry for her peace-loving friend. Chastity was also worried as her pro was on the chopping board, having become good friends in just a day,

…Keely."

"No, not Katie!" cried the mocha-skinned cheerleader.

Surprisingly, her tan friend was not concerned with her elimination.

"I had planned to quit anyway. I was just not ready for the job. Besides, Keely is much tougher and did not deserve to go tonight. Goodbye Chastity, you're the greatest person I've ever met!"

"What about me?"

Katie turned around to see her Anglo-Canadian friend waiting,

"Eeeeeeee!" they shrieked. The wonder twins then joined Chastity for a group hug.

"Thanks Chastity and Sadie, you two are the joint-best people I've ever met! Goodbye-e fellow campers!"

After that, hand in hand, the BFFFLs made their way to the Boat of Losers, where they finally left the island.

Back at his facilities, Chris was reviewing the earlier footage.

"Now that was not an interesting campfire ceremony that saw off a boring BFFFL…"

Before Chris could finish, he looked at the monitor nearby and froze.

" Who did that?"

Behind the building, a brunette tech geek was bowled over by laughter, along with his rookie and an African-Canadian cheerleader.

"Cody, How did you find that picture of adult Chris in diapers?"

"Photoshop, baby,"

That concludes the opening episode of TDN. I would like to apologize to all Katie fans out there for eliminating her off the bat. However, this means that Chastity is guaranteed more airtime, which is good.

That's all for now, remember to tune in to episode 2 of Total Drama Next!
