"This is Toronto, the capital of North America, birthplace of funk where the albino panther roams free." A charming voice began speaking as the camera showed this city and a boat passed by with the panther on it as it roared.
"Beneath my handsomely rugged face and this thirteen sized rouge. Eighteen teams are arriving at this train station to begin a race around the world." A middle aged man in a tan shirt began speaking.
"I'm your host Don." Don pointed to himself before spreading his arms out, "And this is The Ridonculous Race!"
(After theme song)
We then see Don waiting at the train station as he began announcing, "Welcome to the Ridonculous Race. Right now eighteen teams from across the country are heading over to prepare for a race to the death."
Suddenly his earpiece buzzed and he listened into it, "Not to the death?" He asked curiously, "Okay. Fair enough. I was kidding anyway."
"Let's meet the teams that aren't racing to the death." Don smiled enthusiastically as the footage cut to two people on a train. One of them was a blonde curly haired girl with a green shirt on, and the other was a male with spiky black hair with a green shirt on.
"Meet Carrie and Devin, Best Friends." Don narrated.
Confessional: Carrie and Devin
"I met Devin in the sandbox and we've been friends ever since." Carrie smiled warmly, "If anyone can win the race. It's us."
"Yeah totally." Devin chuckled good-naturedly, "I know her so well it's like…"
Suddenly Carrie began staring wistfully at Devin much to his confusion, "Uh, what's going on buddy?"
Carrie noticed Devin's suspicion and took the lint she found off his shirt, "Oh. Lint check. For the camera. Woo! Race!"
We then cut to two women wearing yellow and white outfits, one had brunette hair while the other had blonde hair, the blonde haired girl was older though.
"Kelly and Taylor. Mom and Daughter."
Confessional: Taylor and Kelly
"So A, I'm really hot obviously and I'm pretty much the best at everything in the planet. So unless my mother messes everything up, we're totally gonna win this." Taylor said brattily as she filed her nails.
"Taylor and I are pretty close." Kelly smiled sheepishly, "We're so tight, people mistake us for sisters."
"Wait what?!" Taylor asked incredulously.

Meanwhile, a pigtailed girl in a red shirt was taking selfies of herself as her older sister in an orange top and sweater vest looked down in annoyance and snatched her phone.
"Emma and Kitty, actual sisters."
Confessional: Emma and Kitty
"I'm studying international law so that's gonna give us a real edge." Emma smiled confidently, "Which is good since we're here to win."
"And to see the world, meet hot guys, and have fun." Kitty said happily.
"If there's time for that, which there won't be, so let's focus on winning okay?" Emma said with a nervous smile.
Kitty sighed with a roll of her eyes.
Confessional Ends
We then see a boy and girl dressed in gothic clothing staring into space, "Crimson and Ennui, two exceptionally pale teens…. Okay these two are just unnerving."
We then see two familiar geeky faces and the highlights of World Tour themselves: Cody and Noah.
"Cody and Noah, famously popular reality TV contestants most notably Total Drama World Tour."
Cody smiled excitedly as he giggled, "Hehehehehe, this is so cool."
"Don't get too excited. We actually have to try and win you know." Noah said in annoyance.
"Sorry." Cody smiled nervously.
Confessional: Cody and Noah
"Noah and I met on Total Drama." Cody said happily, "We never really had many notable interactions on screen but we're good enough friends."
"The key word here is friends." Noah rolled his eyes, "Cody's dating Gwen."
"Is this about the whole ear kiss thing again?" Cody asked curiously.
"Of course this is about that again." Noah said bitterly before sighing, "Anyway, I did consider doing this with Owen but he was busy so I decided to bring Cody instead."
"Wow. I'm so honored to be your second option." Cody said with a good-natured eye roll.
Confessional Ends
We then cut to two similarly thin looking boys, one wearing a blue vest, the other wearing a helmet and cyan vest.
"Mickey and Jay. Identical twins who are used to overcoming adversity."
Soon a bunch of luggage fell on top of the twins.
Confessional: Jay and Mickey
"We've been through a lot but we're not cursed, though anything right before cursed is us." Mickey said with a sheepish smile.
"For example, when I was six. I fell into a burrowing owl's nest and a baby owl flew into my ear. Sometimes in my right ear I still hear hoo-hoo." Jay said sadly.
"We're constantly fighting adversity… and overcoming it." Mickey said happily.
Confessional Ends
We then see a strong and buff tan male and a skinnier but also tan girl wearing pink shirts as they looked on into the distance.
"Stephanie and Ryan, the totally in love daters."
Confessional: Ryan and Stephanie
"Stephanie and I met in the gym two months and six days ago and we've been going steady ever since." Ryan said happily.
"We're so excited. Neither of us have ever traveled before." Stephanie pumped her fists in excitement, "There's so much to discover like… what do chocolate protein bars taste like in China?"
"I was just wondering that." Ryan spoke enthusiastically.
"No way." Stephanie said in awe before she and Ryan suddenly began making out in a similar way to Geoff and Bridgette.
We then see the next train stop and suddenly a male and female in unitards jumped out and waved to the camera.
"Josee and Jacques. Professional Ice Dancers."
Confessional: Jacques and Josee
"We know how to win, we have won the gold everywhere." Jacques said happily.
"Except in the Olympics. He dropped me so we ended up getting silver." Josee said with a smile.
"Agh! I don't want to talk about it!" Jacques ran off as he began tearing up.
"Jacques!" Josee called after him before explaining, "Silver is his least favorite color."
We then see two more familiar faces such as Geoff and DJ near the exit of the train.
"Geoff and DJ, lifelong friends and best bros."
"Hahahaha. Going around the world on someone else's dime. Sweeticus." Geoff said happily before pointing to the camera, "Hey Bridgette. Love ya babe."
Confessional: Geoff and DJ
"My girl and I did Total Drama together but she's surfing in Australia right now so boom." Geoff said as he gestured his large friend, "Entree, my good pal DJ."
"Yeah man. This is gonna be sweet." DJ gave a fist bump to Geoff, "I won't say I'm the happiest that I'm only your second choice but I guess it makes sense given you and Bridgette are a couple."
We then see the contestants already mentioned begin heading towards the starting line.
"Right this way teams." Don said happily before gesturing to a father and son walking forward, "Our next team competing is the Father and Son team, Dwayne and Dwayne Junior. Father and Son."
Confessional: Dwayne and Junior
"Oh I spend a lot of time at the old office so this is a perfect chance for me and Junior here to spend a little father and son time." Dwayne said happily, "Right kiddo."
"Uh sure dad." Junior said awkwardly, "Hey, are there any other kids my age here?"
"Oh…" Dwayne spoke awkwardly, "Let's see…"
Confessional Ends
We then cut to MacArthur and Sanders running towards the starting line in determination.
"MacArthur and Sanders. Ambitious police cadets."
Confessional: Sanders and MacArthur
"We're tough as nails, and we'll go to the extreme to win this." MacArthur said with a confident grin.
"Definitely." Sanders smiles, "As long as we don't break any international laws."
"I'm okay with breaking a few." MacArthur admits with a shrug to which Sanders looks on in shock in.
"Relax. I only meant the minor ones." MacArthur waved her off.
"Somehow that doesn't reassure me." Sanders said suspiciously.
Confessional Ends
We then see Cameron and Lightning running towards the starting line though it was clear Lightning was pulling ahead of Cameron, "Lightning and Cameron. One is the brawn and the other is the brains. Total opposites."
Confessional: Cameron and Lightning
"Lightning and I both met on Total Drama." Cameron explained with a grin, "And given how we ended up teaming up for one challenge, we get along decently."
"Yeah. So when the former bubble boy asked the Lightning to do this sha-race, how could he refuse? Lightning is always up for a competition. Especially in one he is guaranteed to win. Sha-bam!" Lightning flexed his muscles.
Confessional Ends
"Also racing, Tom and Jen. Highly attractive fashion bloggers with exquisite taste." Don said as said fashion bloggers in blue shirts walked by, "I told you not to let the teams write their own intros."
Confessional: Tom and Jen
"Hey hey. Tom and Jen here. Shoutout to all our followers out there. Wish us luck." Jen said happily.
"I bet Jen that we could win this race but I actually didn't think she'd suggest doing this." Tom admitted with a smile.
"I put my mind to something, and it happens." Jen said with a snap.
Confessional Ends
We then see two rockers walk by doing rock and roll motions, one had shaggy brown hair and the other had long blonde hair.
"Rock and Spud, the Rockers."
Confessional: Rock and Spud
"Spud wasn't so sure about doing this race because he's not super fit or attentive but I told him to just rock on and I'll carry him." Rock told the audience as Spud stared into the distance.
Confessional Ends
We then see two girls in a yellow shirt and robe sending a butterfly into the air.
"Laurie and Miles, granola loving vegans."
Confessional: Laurie and Miles
"We're here to win the million so we can donate to our favorite charities such as saving the hunchback walrus, giving support for the goat milking eco warriors, people for the ethical treatment of ants…" Laurie began listing off.
"There are so many good causes to choose from." Miles said happily.
Confessional Ends
We then see two girls in brown sweaters walking towards the starting line.
"Ellody and Mary, two scientific geniuses."
Confessional: Ellody and Mary
"Astrophysics is underfunded." Mary began speaking, "Reality TV shows seem to offer significantly large prizes. Problem solved."
Confessional Ends
We then see Sugar and Leonard step out of a taxi and drink sodas.
"Sugar and Leonard, self proclaimed Magical Misfits."
Confessional: Sugar and Leonard
"Pahkitew Island was tough." Leonard told the audience.
"Well not really for me but I got third place so it was still annoying." Sugar crossed her arms.
"Either way, with our combined strengths and power, we'll claim the Dragon's Eye, that's dwarfish for one million dollars." Leonard smiled enthusiastically.
Confessional Ends
We then see two elderly men walking toward the starting line, "Gerry and Pete. Two retired tennis players with a friendly rivalry."
Confessional: Gerry and Pete
"We're both very competitive but for half a million each?" Gerry asked happily, "Game on."
The two then began laughing hysterically.
"Maybe we'll get some new sponsorships, anyone need a new pitch for senior's laxatives…"
"Call his agent!" Gerry and Pete said simultaneously before laughing.
Confessional Ends
We then see every team at the starting line as Don began to speak, "Welcome contestants. This is the starting line for the twenty six part race around the world. Each section ends at a Chill Zone. You must step on the Carpet Of Completion and get there fast because the last team to do so may be cut from the competition." He explained formally, "The first team to reach our last chill zone will win one million dollars!"
Every team began to cheer at this information before Don headed over to a little standee of his face with a big red button on top.
"Everyone look over here." Don told the teams, "This is the Don box, press the big red button to release a travel tip which will tell you your challenges."
"Ready teams. On your mark, get set, go!" Don said happily and soon all eighteen teams began running and stampeding over Don who cried feebly to end the madness but he failed, he was still okay but now on the ground.
Soon multiple teams began to collect their travel tips and read them.
"Race on foot to the CN tower." Geoff panted as he ran ahead with DJ.
"Then find the Don box to get your next tip." Dwayne read along as he and Junior ran off to follow them.
"There's the tower." Junior pointed out as the Ice Dancers began to run past Geoff and DJ.
"And here comes the competition." Jacques said happily as he and Josee ran with their arms spread out.
"Huh? Where?" Dwayne asked before tripping on a garbage can which flew behind them and on top of the Ice Dancers.
"Sorry! My bad!" Dwayne called out remorsefully as he and Junior moved ahead.
"Oh man." DJ said in sympathy, "Are you two alright there?"
Suddenly the Ice Dancers lifted the garbage can off of them without a word and carried on with running.
"Whoa. Radical!" Geoff said in awe before he tried running but DJ pulled him back as the garbage can fell back down.
"Oh thanks man." Geoff said gratefully.
"No prob. Safety first after all." DJ smiled before he and Geoff began running again as other teams began to catch up.
We then see the Father and Son reach the Don box and collect the travel tip, "It's an either or." Junior panted before asking his father, "What's an Either Or."
XXX
"The name is basically what it means. An Either Or gives teams the opportunity to pick between two challenges, for this one, they can either pick Stairs or Scares. They can either climb over 100 flights of stairs to reach the observation deck or Scares, take the elevator and get the fright of your life by walking across a skywalk all around the outside of the tower. Not to worry, they'll be wearing helmets and we added a safety rail as a precaution… which I am now being told broke off three seconds ago. Crap."
"Either way, both teams must finish one of these tasks and find the local at the top to receive their next tip."
XXX
We then see the teams picking between challenges as Sanders reads the tip, "A hundred and forty flights of stairs, yeah we'll do scares."
"I'm not sure if my body can handle running up so many stairs." Cameron admitted to his partner.
"Scares it is then." Lightning shrugged.
We then see Jay and Mickey holding the tip together, "Stairs." Mickey said meekly.
"Are you sure? You get nosebleeds when you go up too high to fast." Jay reminded his brother.
"Yeah but Scares sounds more dangerous." Mickey argued, "And we're pretty fragile."
"Fair enough." Jay nodded before the Adversity Twins ran off.
We then see the Father and Son reach the elevator and Dwayne smiles enthusiastically, "Yeah! First team to the elevator! Way to go son!"
He tries to go in for t a high-five but he ends up tripping a bit and accidentally pushes all the buttons much to his embarrassment, "Hehe. That's a lot of floors for a skinny tower." He said sheepishly before whispering, "Run."
And so they left as the Cadets, Ice Dancers, Opposites, and Fashion Bloggers went to the elevator.
"What the heck man?! Who pushed all the buttons?!" Lightning asked incredulously before grabbing Cameron and putting him over his shoulder and soon ran off, "We're not waiting here. Lightning will just carry you up the sha-stairs. Let's go!"
"Right back at ya. Hustle Sanders." MacArthur told her partner who didn't argue and ran off along with the Ice Dancers.
The Fashion Bloggers stuck around though as Jen shrugged, "Meh. This'll likely still be faster."
We then see the teams running up the stairs as Dwayne spoke to Junior, "If anyone asked, we chose stairs and only stairs."
Jay and Mickey soon ran up the stairs from behind them and continued on.
"While the Father and Son and Adversity Twins commit to climbing up the unfathomable amount of stairs. More teams choose Scares but they are in for a long wait." Don narrates as we cut to the Best Friends, Reality TV Pros, Sisters, Magical Misfits, Goths, Rockers, Vegans, Geniuses, and Tennis Rivals all waiting for the elevator to come back.
As the wait continued, Cody decided to strike up conversation with Sugar who was pacing nearby the Reality TV Pros, "So… you two were on Pahkitew Island right?"
"Yep. You might know me as one of the star players from that season." Sugar said arrogantly.
"Well considering what season you were in, you were certainly the most strategic." Cody admitted with a sheepish smile.
"You got that right." Sugar smirked with pride.
"So do you actually believe in Leonard's magic?" Cody asked nervously.
Sugar chuckled at this question and whispered, "I used to but after hanging out with him more it's clear that Leonard isn't really a wizard. I just like to humor him."
"Oh… I see." Cody raised an eyebrow.
"What? It's fun to mess with him." Sugar shrugged.
"May I borrow my partner for a moment?" Noah asked with a polite smile before pulling Cody aside.
"What do you think you're doing?" Noah asked with a hushed whisper.
"I'm just being friendly. After all, it's not every day you meet a newbie from Total Drama." Cody smiled nervously.
"Yeah, well keep your distance from her." Noah told the geek, "Sugar's literally a snake. Did you not watch season five?"
"Fair enough. I just felt bored." Cody told his partner.
We then see Tom and Jen still in the elevator as the doors continuously opened and shut as it moved upwards as they spoke to the camera, "Hey there fashion blog followers. It's time to talk about the newest fashion don't."
"Today we discuss overalls." Tom shuddered, "Nasty."
They were unaware however of the fact they just stopped at a floor with a janitor wearing overalls, as Jen spoke up, "I know. Disgusting. Like get with today."
We then see Tom and Jen made it to the observatory deck with a bucket and mop on their head when Jen spoke up, "I don't see any other teams so… we must be first."
The two squealed happily as they headed towards the skywalk when they noticed how high up they really were.
"We have to walk up here?!" Jen asked incredulously.
"Oh yes you do. We'll be right back." Don narrated ominously.
(After commercial break)
We then see the Opposites, Best Bros, Daters, and Ice Dancers all climbing the stairs quickly as Don narrates, "Those who abandoned the stairs are in for a painful climb."
"On the upside we're definitely not in last place." Mickey said happily as he and Jay ran up the stairs, "On the downside, we don't know how true that will be for long."
We then see Taylor and Kelly finally make it to the elevator where all the other teams were waiting.
"Ugh. Thanks for being slow. Now we're in a race for last place." Taylor said angrily, "When we get home, hire yourself a personal trainer."
"Great idea sweetie." Kelly said with a sheepish grin before Taylor spoke up again, "I know. That's why I thought of it."
We then see the Opposites and Best Bros pass the Adversity Twins as Geoff decides to speak, "Sweet form dudes. You're doing great."
"They seem nice." Mickey said happily.
"No alliances, remember." Jay reminded his brother.
"Why do you think we shouldn't form alliances?" Mickey asked curiously.
"Maybe later in the game it's a possibility but as of now, we are not in a good place in the game." Jay explains.
We then see Sanders heaving near some stairs as she leans by the railing, "Thighs on fire. So queasy."
MacArthur then jumps down and picks up her partner. "Calm down partner, I gotcha. Seriously though, you gotta work on your glutes, I mean what do you do? Yoga?"
"As the teams continue to climb or wait for the elevator. The Fashion Bloggers are the first to reach the Observation Deck but the Scare might be too much for them."
We then see Tom and Jen hugging each other in fear as Tom pointed fearfully at the skywalk, "We can't go out on that death trap! I am fashionably skinny, the wind will blow me away."
The local just rolled his eyes in annoyance.
We then see the elevator open up and soon every team except the Reality TV Pros, Mother and Daughter, and Magical Misfits make it up to the elevator, the reason the three teams didn't make it due to the fact Emma quickly closed the elevator.
"Rude." Taylor said angrily.
"Oh zip it. I have no doubt you'd do the same." Noah snarked with a roll of his eyes.
"Uh, who are you to assume that of me?" Taylor asked with a glare.
"Okay, I'm gonna break this up now before this becomes a cesspool of bickering." Cody smiled nervously before pulling Noah aside, "Cool."
We then see a local putting out a box of helmets for the Fashion Bloggers though Tom was still protesting, "Helmets? Are you crazy?! You want us to ruin our hair? No. I did not sign up for that."
"Plus this is so not my color." Jen added.
"It's not. Trust me." Tom told the local.
We then see Geoff and DJ continuing to run up the stairs and pass the Father and Son duo.
"Doing great dude. Our calves are gonna be so toned after this." Geoff said happily.
"Yeah man. We're doing great!" DJ said in a motivating tone.
The Ice Dancers suddenly stopped to start waving to the camera, "Bonjour, hello to all our fans!"
We then see MacArthur running up the stairs as she carried Sanders, "Would you put me down, I can do this."
"I beg to differ chicken legs." MacArthur disagrees with a smirk as they soon begin to run near the Opposites and MacArthur smirks at Lightning as she asks, "Your partner has chicken legs too?"
"Whatever you wanna call it." Lightning shrugged dismissively, "Sure thing."
"It's all about the glutes for me. I only use the stair machine at the gym. I'm basically 80% glutes at this point and they've pretty much taken over the rest of my muscles at this point." MacArthur bragged.
"Uh… okay." Lightning raised an eyebrow as both teams continued to climb.
We then see Jay and Mickey struggling to climb up the stairs though Mickey had a delirious grin on his face.
"Stay with me buddy. Eyes wide." Jay told his brother.
"It's okay mommy, I don't need to do elephant." Mickey said randomly.
"This is why we hardly go to skyscrapers." Jay sighed.
We then see the six teams that took the elevator make it to the top of the building and soon Devin smiles, "There's the skywalk. Let's go."
He and Carrie soon ran off while the other teams seemed more hesitant.
"Whoa! That's a long way up!" Devin said fearfully.
"Okay… you always said you wanted to conquer your fear of heights. Now could be a good time to do it." Carrie smiled at Devin nervously.
"Actually, I'm not scared of heights. I'm scared of FALLING from high places. Totally different." Devin said, still afraid to do this.
"Don't worry. It's a TV competition. It's gotta be safe." Carrie told Devin reassuringly.
"What about Total Drama?" Devin asked curiously.
"That one was run by a sadist, I think Don is saner than Chris." Carrie rolled her eyes playfully before clasping his hands, "Don't worry. I believe in you."
"That makes one of us." Devin admits with no shame.
Soon The Tennis Rivals ran ahead and laughed, "Haha! We're in the lead. Way to snooze chuckleheads." Pete laughed.
Soon the Tennis Rivals and Best Friends walked carefully across the building and soon we cut back to the inside of the tower where Cody and Noah were heading for the elevator, "Oh. Make room for us."
"Sorry. No room." Taylor tried to press the close button on the elevator when Noah got in and swatted her hand so Cody could get in.
"Hey ow." Taylor said furiously to the snarker, "What was that for?"
"Oh don't look at me like that. You literally tried to screw us over just earlier." Noah narrowed his eyes at the spoiled rich girl.
"I did not!" Taylor rolled her eyes in denial.
"No. He's right. I saw you do it." Cody said neutrally, despite the attempt of sabotage earlier.
"Who's side are you on?!" Taylor asked incredulously.
"Uh… Noah's." Cody raised an eyebrow.
Back with the teams taking the skywalk, The Tennis Rivals were pushed back by the wind as Devin and Carrie passed them, the latter leading the former along as he kept his eyes closed, "That's it. Just keep moving. One foot in front of the other. I'm so proud of you Devin."
"I couldn't do it without you homie." Devin smiled at Carrie who blushed with shining eyes.
We then see Emma was walking along the skywalk only to see Kitty falling behind and taking selfies.
"This is so cool!" Kitty cried out joyfully.
"Keep yourself focused! This is life or death here! Literally!" Emma said sternly.
"Come on! Look at what we're doing! I feel so alive!" Kitty said happily.
"Yeah, I'll make sure they put that in your tombstone." Emma rolled her eyes as she pulled Kitty back near the wall.
Solo Confessional: Emma
She was still walking along the skywalk with Kitty now in front of her but not enough to where she can hear her.
"I'm not trying to be a fun sucker or whatever, but come on, it's a freaking skywalk. Forgive me if I don't want my little sister to get herself killed." Emma rolled her eyes.
Solo Confessional Ends
Meanwhile Tom and Jen were embracing each other as they began walking along, "Promise me you won't let go." Jen said fearfully.
"NEVER!" Tom cried out in determination, "Why would people actually pay to do this?!"
Meanwhile Laurie and Miles were praying as they moved along, "We're doing this for you Mother Earth!" Laurie said before adding, "Please don't kill us!"
We then see Lightning and MacArthur carrying their teammates up as MacArthur taunts the Ice Dancers behind them, "Coming through! Cadets for the win!"
"Not for long!" Josee tells the duo ominously much to Jacques' discomfort, he recognized that tone of voice well. Apparently Cameron had also taken notice and spoke to Lightning, "Do you think those two are shady?"
"The skater dudes?" Lightning smirked, "Ha! Lightning ain't afraid of them! Hahahahahaha!"
However MacArthur did hear this exchange and told Sanders, "Make a mental note to keep an eye on the Ice Dancers."
Soon we see the Reality TV Pros, Magical Misfits, and Mother and Daughter come out from the elevator and run out.
"While the last three teams make it out of the elevator and still have to take the dreaded skywalk, the teams who took the stairs are literally leaping into the lead." Don narrates as Jacques and Josee leap out the stairs and onto the top floor where the local was waiting and handed Jacques the tip, "Catch a flight with a zip, ride a line to your tip."
XXX
"The teams have to ride a flimsy zipline together down Lake Ontario to catch their next travel tip and head to the island airport. This line was tested by our intern Andrew this morning. Again, condolences to his family."
XXX
Jacques and Josee immediately ran to the zipline and slid down quickly and Josee took the tip with ease.
"Go Team Canada!" Jacques cries out joyfully as they zip to the airport below.
We then cut back to The Best Friends escaping the skywalk and into the tower once again and soon The Cadets had made it up to the top of the stairs as well.
"Finally." Sanders smiled in relief before MacArthur dropped her, "Yep. Now it's your turn to carry me."
"WHAT?!" Sanders asked incredulously before MacArthur laughed, "Ha! I'm kidding. You couldn't carry solid concrete."
Lightning and Cameron soon made it up as well with Cameron breathing a sigh of relief, "Phew. We made it."
"Yep. Now let's book it!" Lightning smirked as he ran ahead with Cameron following close behind.
The three teams then began reading their tips and Carrie smiled, "Ziplining! I always wanted to do that!"
"Ziplining! Interesting yet worrying." Cameron noted.
We then cut to the Ice Dancers bouncing off the mattress and getting off the zipline and onto the ground to where they wave towards the camera.
"Thank you! We love you!" Josee smiled and waved along with Jacques.
"W-Who are you waving to?" Don asked curiously.
"Our fans!" Josee and Jacques smiled in unison.
"Our fans give us the love and energy to perform under high pressure situations, without them, Jacques would never be able to overcome his many faults." Josee said pointedly smiling.
"Um… why do you say many like that?" Jacques asked curiously.
"You know why." Josee smiled brightly as she gave him the tip, "Oh. This just says to book two seats for the flight to Morocco." Jacques told her.
"Indeed. There are three flights each traveling thirty minutes apart. Teams who arrive first have the distinct advantage of going first, teams on the last flight should really question why they came here because… wow." Don explained as the Ice Dancers were seen leaving.
Confessional: Reality TV Pros
"Every reality show I've been on, I have lost. Cody's track record is somewhat better but either way, no excuses or distractions. We have our eyes on the cheddar." Noah smirked in determination.
"I also have my eye on the money, but hey, maybe we can make some new friends as we go on." Cody smiled optimistically.
"As long as they're not like Eelejandro, I'm down with that." Noah shrugged.
"He's not THAT bad." Cody argued.
"Eh, you try being on his target list for ten episodes straight. Then we'll see who's talking." Noah rolled his eyes.
Confessional Ends
We then cut back to Devin and Carrie zip lining and soon Carrie grabbed the tip, "Yes! Got it!"
"Great job Carrie!" Devin smiled enthusiastically.
Confessional: The Best Friends
"I had to do the race with Carrie. She's smart, fast, determined…" Devin began complimenting before Carrie giggled with a blush, "And my girlfriend Shelley was busy." He added causing Carrie to falter.
Confessional Ends
We then see Cody and Noah walk to the skywalk when Cody and Noah began to feel the harsh winds.
"Whoa. I think we may need to put on a few pounds or at least some muscle." Cody said meekly before they felt themselves being dragged by the wind and soon they passed by the other teams but then Noah felt the back of his shirt being grabbed by Emma and once he grabbed Cody's hand, they were pulled onto the floor.
"There we go. That should help." Emma told the two boys, "We may be competitors but like I'll actually let any of you die."
Noah looked bewildered at the sight of Emma as she and Kitty moved forward, Cody began to get up and keep walking when he noticed Noah's vacant stare.
"Noah? You okay man?" Cody asked curiously.
Noah shook his head and shrugged, "Eh, I was just experiencing some aftershock I guess. Let's keep going."
He and Cody trekked on and held slid their backs on the walls so they were less likely to be blown away again.
We then see the Cadets readying themselves for zip lining.
"First one to grab the tip gets the top bunk in our dorm room." MacArthur said in a challenging tone.
"I already have that honor though." Sanders replied teasingly.
"Not for long." MacArthur narrowed her eyes and soon they were zipping down.
"We did it man!" Geoff smiled happily as he and DJ ran by, followed by Father and Son, Junior looking more healthy than Dwayne, and the Daters also catching up.
"We did it baby!" Stephanie cheered as she and Ryan ran by.
Cody and Noah soon slid to the top of the tower and Cody cheered, "We did it!"
Meanwhile Ellody and Mary walked out, covered in an icky green substance.
"Well that was illuminating." Ellody said neutrally.
"Based on the splatter, the wind velocity was forty five knots, twenty more and we'd be splattered." Mary said with a cringe.
Soon The Best Friends made it down the zipline and smiled as they went to the plane.
The Cadets were seen going down the line and Sanders grabbed the tip with a smile. "Yes."
Soon more and more teams began to leave the skywalk and soon began using the zipline, "The teams have arrived, and the flights are booked." Don narrates as a holographic screen showed three planes.
"Flight number one will carry The Ice Dancers, Best Friends, Cadets, Father and Son, Reality TV Pros, and Opposites.
Flight Number Two will hold The Sisters, Vegans, Fashion Bloggers, Mother and Daughter, The Rockers, and Geniuses.
Finally, Flight Number Three has the Magical Misfits, Goths, Best Bros, Adversity Twins, Daters, and Tennis Rivals."
We then see Don walking towards the airport, "Who will win the first part of our race. Find out next time on The Ridonculous Race!"
Author's Note:
First Flight: Ice Dancers, Best Friends, Cadets, Opposites, Father and Son, Reality TV Pros
Second Flight: Sisters, Vegans, Fashion Bloggers, Mother and Daughter, Rockers, Geniuses
Third Flight: Magical Misfits, Goths, Best Bros, The Adversity Twins, Daters, Tennis Rivals
Finally, I got this done. Ridonculous Race is pretty different from Total Drama but rest assured, I will find a way to make it work. I'll likely get used to this as it wasn't too hard to pull this off.
So, let's get down to business. There are plenty of plots I plan to rewrite in my own special way.
The Will They, Won't They Tango of Carrie and Devin: We already know these two will get together but I felt there were some issues that could use a bit of tweaking.
MacArthur's redemption arc: Good golly I'll be having fun with this one. Fun fact about me, I love redemption arcs(if you couldn't tell by how I wrote Heather and Scott), I mean, some of my favorite characters like Starlight Glimmer, Dr. Doofenshmirtz, and Varian from other fandoms are my favorite characters because of that. MacArthur is more of an anti-hero but she qualifies in a way, I plan to do what I can with her and not make it seem so rushed.
Noah's mistreatment of Owen: This one will be a doozy, I could not stand how Owen was treated in canon, he seemed like Noah's lackey instead of his friend at times, and since I already gave their connection more emotion in Jamaica, it felt wrong to have Noah act so rude to him, so I switched him for Cody, but don't worry, he won't get the Owen treatment, he will be given justice.
