Justin entered the interview room with a strut in his step, before sitting onto the interview chair to greet Josh.
"Hey there Josh. Thanks for inviting me to this interview. I think it'll really help for the publicity." Justin smiled politely at the host.
"Oh I can see that." Josh agreed before turning to the screen and turning on the remote to show Ezekiel's picture, "Noah didn't have much interaction with Ezekiel, have you ever had any?"
"Not really. There was that one moment after Action where he tried to fill in Harold's spot in the Drama Brothers but we ultimately rejected him." Justin shook his head.
"Understandable, so Noah said you were a lazy narcissist. Care to comment on that?" Josh smirked, hoping to get a reaction out of the model.
"I don't really think he should be talking since he himself got eliminated due to his laziness." Justin smirked back, "Just because he has a girlfriend now doesn't mean he can escape criticism. But in all honesty, I don't think much of him nowadays unless Owen's around."
"So Katie and Sadie were your biggest fangirls, let's talk about them." Josh said with interest.
"Ugh, I will forever be haunted by their squealing." Justin scoffed, "They are so codependent that it makes me uncomfortable. Could not deal with them in the special after hearing them chatter, haven't spoke to them since then."
"Fair enough." Josh shrugged before the screen showed Tyler, "I can sense there might have been tension between you, especially after flirting with Lindsay."
"Sorry to disappoint you, but there wasn't much there." Justin crossed his arms smugly, "All he really did was laugh at how Lindsay lost interest in me because he was her true love or something cliche like that. Honestly he might be right about that or Lindsay's just shallow, but that's all I can say."
"Damn it!" Josh muttered before the screen shifted to Cody, "I can tell there's at least something with you two since you were in a band."
"Ah yes, Cody. In all honesty, we were probably the least close out of all the members at first, buuuuuuuut after some underage drinking we were able to talk more freely with each other, and if I'm honest, we kinda flirted a bit since I was shirtless at the time but we quickly moved past it. Even then, I can at least say that I was Cody's bisexual awakening." Justin bragged much to Josh's amusement.
"Anyway, Cody's cool but he's also kind of influential hence why he treated Duncan the way he did. All of us couldn't stand him so it would explain why he hated him so much in World Tour. He's still pretty chill though." Justin finished off his thoughts.
The next picture to appear was Beth's and Josh smirked when he saw it, "So Beth was one of the girls you manipulated who shockingly lost interest in you. Care to explain?"
"At first I found Beth to be a mere pawn, but as the show continued, I began to respect her more. She not only seemed to like being around me even after she lost attraction to me, but she also kicked butt in challenges. Unfortunately she did vote me out in my elimination episode but I was acting like a major simp back there for Courtney." Justin explained, "Overall, I like her. She's cool."
"Speaking of Courtney, can you tell us more about her?" Josh smirked, hoping to get some drama out of this.
"So Courtney was kind of my first crush, not only did I respect her intelligence but she was also gorgeous. She actually felt more than just a one night fling to me so I naturally pursued her. I realize that was a terrible idea since Duncan and Courtney were still into each other and were going through their break up-make up phase. I don't hate her though, she did beat me in my own game so credit is due there." Justin admits somewhat fondly and somewhat regretfully.
"So Harold is another band member you have." Josh said, "Any thoughts on him?"
"He's really funny to be honest. He always has a way to entertain the group and his bouts of knowledge are kind of impressive. I meant what I said when I apologized to him for my betrayal, I wouldn't have done it if I wasn't so obsessed at the time." Justin admitted fondly, "We became closer when we became a band so we keep in contact."
The next picture that came up was Eva's and Josh spoke up, "The only interaction you had with her was in the special but we're wondering if there's more to it and that."
"No, not really. I just ignored her." Justin shook his head.
"Got it, so how did you end up befriending Trent after literally causing his elimination?" Josh asked.
"Because I am not Heather, we got along and were able to move past getting him eliminated since it wasn't personal." Justin explained, "We bonded over music and the fact that girls can be obsessive at times. We're good friends today."
Next picture to appear was Bridgette much to Josh's disappointment, "I assume you never interacted with her."
"Not really. The worst I did was shun her for cheating on Geoff like everyone else did in the aftermath but that's it." Justin shrugged.
"At least that was somewhat interesting." Josh sighed before Lindsay's picture popped up, "Thoughts on another one of your pawns?"
"She's so idiotic that it is mind numbing!" Justin said incredulously, "She tries to take charge of our team but was just condescending us the entire time. And before she lost attraction to me, she was so desperate for my attention, probably because she missed Tyler but goodness gracious, she can see him later. Unlike Beth, I don't have much respect for her."
"Interesting," Josh smirked before the next picture to appear was DJ's, "Thoughts on him?"
"We shared some banter in the trailers but I didn't talk much with him otherwise." Justin said cooly, "He's a good man though and I felt bad that he had to deal with Chef."
"Didn't expect that much to be honest." Josh shrugged before Izzy's photo was next, "So you and Izzy had a brief fling going on before she rejoined. Care to explain?"
"Okay so me and Izzy both found each other hot, right? So naturally we slept with each other a few times," Justin began explaining before growing nervous, "Though… it didn't really work out when we actually tried dating. We were two very different people and while I did try to end things on decent terms, Izzy was very upset that I had 'taken advantage of her' which isn't completely wrong but I did try to make it work. We stopped interacting much after that as Izzy seemed to have gotten over it by Action."
"Ouch, that's cold man." Josh shook his head before the screen showed Geoff, "Anything you can say about Geoff?"
"Okay, so this might be personal, but Geoff took the cheating scandal really hard and was a crying mess." Justin said sympathetically before his eyes narrowed, "He was even about to try using alcohol to heal the pain but me and Trent quickly noticed and stopped him before he could do something stupid. So that's why when Bridgette showed up, almost everyone was furious with her. Nothing much I can say about him as a person, but I felt bad for him."
"Yikes, looks like the cheating was worse than we expected." Josh gasped in shock before the picture switched to Leshawna, "Leshawna seemed to flirt with you a few times, anything on that?"
Justin sighed and shook his head as he made tutting noises, "She's cool and all, but I can't get over how problematic her behavior can be. The trash talking was one part of it, but the flirting with me was another. In Dial M For Merger, it was clear she and Harold were having issues and she needed attention from someone and since I was the hottest guy left, she turned to me. I did NOT want to get involved in that mess, especially since Lindsay was starting to turn Beth against me so I made sure to avoid her, and I think she got the message. She and Harold are doing fine now, but I hope she can properly express her issues better than what she demonstrated back then."
"Well that was a mouthful." Josh commented before the screen switched to Duncan, "You two had a full on rivalry over Courtney, so there's obviously some sort of interactions there."
"Duncan seemed cool at first, I could admire his tough nature even if he WAS hideous." Justin began with a chuckle before growing serious, "But once Leshawna got booted, I got to see a new ugly side of him. He was super obsessive and was trying way too hard to be the baddest boy in the group. He claimed to have been picking on Harold for 'avenging Courtney' but no, it was clearly just because he was a sadistic asshole. He's pathetic."
"So next up is the original Total Drama villain, Heather." Josh smirked, "Considering she caused your elimination, you must have something to say about her."
"Surprisingly I do not have much to say about her, other than her eliminating me from the game, the only time she ever really came into my life was when she kept in contact with Cody." Justin told the host, "All I really knew about that was that Heather was having issues with Alejandro and was drifting more to talking to Cody. Other than that, I didn't care to find out anymore."
"Sheesh, something is clearly going on with those two." Josh raised an eyebrow before a picture of Gwen popped up, "So you seemed to blackmail Gwen for how she helped Trent throw challenges despite knowing that's not the case. Don't you think that was harsh?"
Justin gave a chuckle at that before admitting, "Yeah, I can see where you're coming from. In hindsight, it was unfair to guilt Gwen into doing what he said. I was mostly trying to make sure the Grips win the next challenge and a part of me did blame her for not stopping Trent sooner since she CLEARLY noticed what was going on. After I got eliminated, Gwen really tore into me for what I did, and I did kinda feel bad for getting in her business so I did admit she was right. We never really interacted much after that."
"Finally, we have Owen. He apparently had some sort of crush on you. Were you aware of that?" Josh asked curiously.
"Everyone knew Owen was bisexual." Justin snickered before continuing, "But yeah, I did notice that he had a crush on me. Sometimes we would playfully flirt with each other in season two but before you get on my case, that was BEFORE he and Izzy made their relationship official as even he didn't know where they stood after the whole psycho killer incident. After that, we just stayed friends while he did whatever with Izzy. He really didn't deserve to have his jaw busted so that's why everyone was so upset Courtney voted him off since he JUST recovered. We still keep in contact today."
"Well that was certainly some new information, so have you ever interacted with Alejandro, Sierra, or the new casts?" Josh asked.
"I didn't interact with Alejandro, he was in a robot suit for a year and I never bothered to speak with him in the reunion. I did briefly interact with Sierra when she and Cody were friends but in the end, i'm just glad she and Cody are moving on from each other." Justin told the host, "As for the new casts, I only talk to Topher as he and I are similar in a way and we got along well."
"So anything to recollect about your Total Drama journey?" Josh asked curiously.
"Yes. I learned that sometimes I will have to put effort into some things and not just rely on my looks, even if I do believe they are important in life, I can stand to be a little less lazy." Justin answered kindly before shaking Josh's hand, "Thanks for the interview. It was fun to reflect on everything."
Josh smiled as Justin left and spoke to the camera, "Considering he was one of Total Drama's villains, I'm surprised with how well that went. Hopefully the rest of the Total Drama antagonists give me this much pleasantness…"
"They probably won't." Josh sighed.
Author's Note: You never know Josh. So for the next chapter, I'm debating on biting the bullet and doing both Katie and Sadie or doing Katie first and then Sadie after I get through Tyler, Cody, and Beth.
