A/N: Woohoo! Finally at a 6 review each chapter ratio! BTW, I really have no clue on how the Aftermaths technical cycle goes. I only saw the chaotic and overall disappointing TDWT ones, and I hardly watched TDA at all (AND I AM PROUD OF IT!). My aftermaths are not really in a consistent pattern but bear with me.
Blaineley "Welcome everyone to the Total Drama Luxury Tour Aftermath Show! I'm your co-host, the luscious Blaineley!"
Owen "And I am co-host, Owen!"
"Hmm… I thought with Bridgette and Geoff still in the game, I'd have this show to myself" The drama monger told the chubby teen.
"Sorry, Blaineley…" Owen apologized before turning to the camera, "Well everyone, we got a great show for you all! First we are gonna interview all the eliminated contestants so far! You can also expect new surprises here on TDLT Aftermath!
*cues theme music*
"Well, let's get this over with…" Blaineley begrudgingly said.
"Our first guest is the second person to be eliminated this season. Please welcome, Beth!"
The studio audience applauds as the wannabe farm girl walks on stage.
"Welcome Beth" Blaineley greeted and then inquired, "How does it feel to be the first one voted off by your team?"
"Well Blaineley, I certainly enjoy it here more than deep down that scorching mine" Beth responded.
"Do you have anything to say to the contestants still in the game?" Owen asked.
"Just that there are no hard feelings. It just was my time to go"
"Sigh, just hoping we get more gold from Alejandro's interview…" Blaineley muttered.
"Okay then, bring Al out!" Owen happily says. The audience jeers over the name but everyone then notices the Latin Archenemy isn't anywhere to be found. "Al? You out there buddy?" Owen hollered for his one-sided chum.
"I guess he isn't here… great…" Blaineley groaned, "Bring out the next eliminated contestant…"
"Everyone, please welcome Eva!" Owen introduced.
The brutess walks in with crossed arms.
"Welcome Eva, the Admirals' second elimination. How does it feel to finally get into another season, only to be eliminated for the exact same reason as the first?" Blaineley instigated.
"What's that supposed to mean?" Eva angrily said.
"I'm just saying that your excessive anger problem predominantly alienates you from whatever team you get placed on"
"THAT'S IT! LET ME AT HER!" The brutess yells as Owen and Beth try to restrain her.
"While we are trying to keep you from killing Blaineley, anything you'd like to say to the current contestants of Total Drama Luxury Tour?" Owen politely asks.
"Just that they are cowards for voting me out!" Eva angrily calms herself from having to injury someone on national television, "I'll tell you why this show keeps me on the bench, they're afraid! They're afraid of WOMEN WITH POWER!"
"I'm sure they'll get the message…" Owen says trying not to provoke her.
"Our next guest is Ezekiel" Blaineley announced as Homeschool walks on stage, "Thanks to the hired interns, we managed to prevent him from latching on to another season. Welcome, Ezekiel, how does it feel to be voted out first by your team yet again?"
"It bums me out, holmes! But at least I lasted longer than other people this time around, eh" The Zeke confessed, "At least Heather isn't taking her frustrations out on me anymore"
"Anything to tell everyone who is still in the game?" Owen asked.
"Not really, other than if what happened in Newfoundland made me even with you Heather than PLEASE LET THE HAWAIIAN INCIDENT GO, EH!" Homeschool begged to the camera.
"Alright, our final guest is Harold" Blaineley announced.
"Hey guys!" Harold greeted the audience.
"Harold, after a failed attempt of making an alliance against Duncan, you end up being sent here. How does that feel?" Blaineley tauntingly asked.
"Well Blaineley, I can still root for Leshawna winning this season!"
"Anything to say to her or anyone else?" Owen politely asks.
"Yeah, win for us Leshawna! I'll be with you in spirit!" The nerd rooted.
"Okay, that concludes our interview segment," Blaineley says moving on, "Our next segment is our online fan Q/A! Where the fans ask the eliminated contestants questions and speculations regarding this season"
"Okay, our first question," Owen begins, "comes from InuGhost 2.0… looks like a two parter for me! Question one, "given what Alejandro did on Rappa Nui and his subsequent framing of you, are you still going to forgive him and try and be his friend? Has this change your outlook on life/people any?" To answer this one, I guess I am a little unclear of all the details, but I don't think Al would purposely frame me, must have been a misunderstanding…" The chubby teen naively answered.
"Right…" Blaineley rolled her eyes, "question two, "What do you think of the fact that Noah has stepped up to lead your team now that you've been eliminated?'"
"That's my little buddy! GO NOAH!" Owen happily responded.
"Our next question comes from "The Codemeister"!" Blaineley announced.
"Is that Cody?" Owen asked.
"Don't think so, probably just a fan, he asks everyone here, "Now that you have been voted out of the game, who are you most looking forward to seeing win?'"
"I gotta go with Leshawna" Harold says confidently.
"Go Lindsay!" Beth expresses her view.
"Pfft, I hope all three boats sink" Eva bitterly scoffs.
"Me, because I want back in!" The Zeke demanded.
"Noah, my buddy has got this!" Owen finally added, "Thank you for your question, "The Codemeister!"
Blaineley continues, "Our next question comes from, Racin' Mason 24, he asks, "Eva, how does it feel to be voted off so early again?" Interesting, I thought I was the only one to wonder that"
"UGH! RACIN' MASON 24, WHEN I FIND YOU I WILL WRING YOUR NECK!" Eva shouted out with clear distain.
"Thank you all for your questions, this concludes our Q/A segment!" Owen announced while then turning to Blaineley, "So Blaineley, our ships sailed from Hawaii, to Easter Island, to Mexico, to Alaska, to the Yukon, to Newfoundland, and then to Florida! So going around North America and down its eastern coast, where will our cruisers go next?"
"I don't think the producers will enjoy such spoilers" Blaineley responded.
"Aww…" Owen sighed, "Well what segment is next?"
"Our next segment is called the "Rematch with Your Demons!" This is a competition for all losers here in the studio!" Blaineley announced, "In this challenge, each Ex-Admiral, Captain, and Skipper will get a shot to compete for their former team!"
"To get back into the game?" Ezekiel asked hopefully.
"No, but to win your former team an advantage at their next destination!" Blaineley corrected, "Since Alejandro is not here, and the Zeke is the only eliminated Captain, Owen, you and him will represent the Captains and the Skippers. Eva? Beth? Harold? Who wants to compete for your ex-team?
Eva scoffed, "Blow it out your-"
"I'll do it!" Beth volunteered.
"Okay," Blaineley says, "Owen, Ezekiel, and Beth step forward! Each of you will have to outlast each other, repeating exactly what got each of you eliminated during the competition. Beth, since the heat is what got you eliminated in the Naica Mine, your challenge will be having to step into a heat chamber. The chamber will get hotter and hotter as time goes by, if you open the latch, you lose!"
Beth gulped but complied.
"Ezekiel," Blaineley continues, "your lack of coordination cost your team numerous challenges. First, it was your ship's flag, then a condor egg, and then a shack wall. So you will once again fight your demons by balancing an egg over your head while walking over a balance beam. If the egg falls, you lose!"
"No problem, eh! The Zeke can handle this!" Ezekiel confidently said.
"Which reminds me, your ego also contributed to your elimination. So you will instead be balancing it on your nose!" Blaineley corrected herself.
"Um… yeah… no problem… eh…"
Blaineley then turns to Owen, "Big O, your trusting nature is what got you eliminated, so for your challenge, you will walk blindfolded through a pit of snakes. There is a safe path across this pit and if your intuition overcomes your naïve nature, you will win, but if you get bitten, you lose! In order for Beth to win, she merely needs to stay in her chamber until Owen and Ezekiel loses. In order for Ezekiel to win, he has to stay balanced and continue walking over the beam until the others lose. Same goes for blindfolded Owen. Without further ado, begin!"
The former celebrity manhunt host instructs all three to begin their challenge. Beth steps inside the heat chamber, Ezekiel stands on the beam while balancing an egg over his nose and Owen is blindfolded and walks over a trail surrounded by snakes.
"It's getting pretty hot in here already…" Beth nervously stated.
"Easy now Zeke, you can do this…" The prairie boy nervously said to himself, while balancing the egg over his nose.
"Nice snakeys…" Owen states as he blindly treads the safe trail.
The heat chamber intensifies as the farm girl sweats bullets after the first minute.
The homeschooled Zeke tries to keep the balance on his feet and his nose while walking on the beam.
The chubby teen avoids stepping in areas where he hears hissing.
"Time for some added fun!" Blaineley cruelly said as she activates three switches. Suddenly the chamber's heat intensifies tenfold. The beam Ezekiel is balancing on starts to shake. And mongooses are dropped into the snake pit. Beth's willpower greatly depleted, Ezekiel begins to lose his balance, and Owen starts to feel aggravated bodies of fur and scales as he blindly tries not to get bitten.
"I can't take it anymore!" Beth caves as she opens the latch of her chamber.
"Beth is out!" Blaineley announces.
Ezekiel tries to continue treading the shaking beam but trips backwards, sending the egg flying in the air. As homeschool falls on his back while still on the beam, he adjusts his head so his nose can safely catch the plummeting egg, keeping him in the game.
"Ouch!" Owen finally gets bit by an agitated snake, eliminating him.
"Winner… Ezekiel… former Killer Captain!" Blaineley cheers.
"I won?" Ezekiel asks, usually unaware of the feeling he felt, "I won! I won! I won! Does this mean Heather will forgive me?"
"Who knows, Zeke? Well let's see what your team gets at their next destination! They will be...
…
…
…
"Tiki Torches!"
"What will those be for?" Harold asks.
"Probably as a light source for their next destination and perhaps that particular type of torch will hint on where our contestants are going next" Blaineley explains, "Will they make the difference? Will Celebrity Manhunt take me back? Will I at least milk a buck doing this temp job? Find out here on Total… Drama…
**STATIC!**
"What the…" Blaineley asks.
**STATIC!**
"We seem to be having some technical difficul…"
**STATIC!**
"Hello… Total Drama Nerds…" Alejandro states as the scene goes to him in an otherwise dark room, "I decided to interrupt this Aftermath with a little segment of my own…" The Latin master of manipulation gives the camera a calm, collected, grin, "I know I carry this reputation of being the token, "Arch Villain," but I am here to prove to all of you, that none of you are saints yourselves. So I will make the current contestants show their true colors with my segment, "Alejandro's hit list." Since I know all of you are watching, I will explain, I have taken one thousand dollars from my father's bank account. One thousand dollars may not be one million, but it will be enough to instigate what kind of person an individual truly is. So with this money, I am setting a bounty on one of you. Noah, since you snuck your scrawny self past me, this bounty will be on you. To everyone else, whoever plays a part in the bookworm's elimination, will enjoy the thousand dollars respectively whether he leaves with a life jacket, or on a stretcher. Best of luck to all you, amigos, especially you, Noah…Hehehehehe…"
**Goes off the air**

A/N: Well I suppose I can take this Aftermath opportunity to personally suck up to… err... mention many of my reviewers… since all of you are what got me this far in my story.
InuGhost2.0, Sorry I only used two of your questions but with just three askers overall I wanted to keep the segment brief. Thanks them anyway and also for all your vivid reviews, keep them coming! :D
Jester1983 and Mappadouji, You two were probably my most devoted reviewers since chap 1 so thanks a lot, especially for making me not regret not blocking anonymous reviewers.
Racin' Mason 24, thanks for being the first to give me an Aftermath question as well as all the casual PMs you gave me, I assure everyone I am well open to conversing with you all via PM and open to your ideas (hopefully I won't regret saying that last part).
HyperForce, I certainly don't like the idea of disappointing of my readers. I sadly admit, I kinda butchered Geoff in this story. I don't personally dislike the guy, but in my own opinion, I do feel that he drags down Bridgette's character especially in TDA. That being said, this is just told by n00b writing his first fanfiction, so don't let me affect your feelings on what's canon and I hope you will still read my story despite this.
randompandattack & Imagi, make no mistake, I love Ezekiel and if I can find a part for him back in the story I will put him back in, but this is a Cody bias story, so really it just mainly Cody, the girls, the male adversaries, and Trent as the voice of reason with other pairings in between. By the way Imagi, you are right, Kobold Necromancer is an awesome writer.
Everyone else, sorry I didn't mention anyone else but thank you all for reviewing, you all are what keeps me going! By the way, I finally took the time to create my profile!
