Inspired by Total Drama Island Gender Bent by Evil-Blueberry. Although it had a lot of typos that's kinda distracting, like referring the genderbend characters as their original names or genders.

Chapter 1: Not So Happy Campers
"Yo!" A woman in her late-20s pops up on screen with a big cheesy smile, in front of a wooden dock by a lake. She has shoulder-length black hair with dark grey streaks in it, and black eyes. She's wearing a navy blue collared T-shirt with a long-sleeved white shirt underneath, and a necklace with a small fancy-looking shell on it. She also has on green-ish cargo shorts and navy blue flip-flops, showing off her smooth legs and feet. "We're coming at you live from Camp Wawanakwa, somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario. I'm your hostess Kristina McLean, but you may call me Kris, dropping season one of the hottest new reality show on television right now!"
"Here's the deal, 22 campers have signed up to spend eight weeks right here at this crummy old summer camp. They will compete in challenges against each other, then have to face the judgement of their fellow campers. Every three days, one team will either win a reward, or watch one of their team members walk down the Dock of Shame, take a ride on the loser boat and leave Total Drama Island, for good."
"Their fate will be decided here, at the dramatic campfire ceremonies, where each week all but one camper will receive a marshmallow." Kris is suddenly in front of a campfire and some tree stumps, eating a marshmallow from a stick. "In the end, only one will be left standing and will be rewarded with cheesy tabloid fame and a small fortune, which let's face it, they will probably blow in a week. To survive, they will have to battle black flies, grizzly bears, disgusting camp food..." (Grub: "Hey now!") "...and each other! Every moment will be caught on the hundreds of camera situated all over the camp. Who will crumble under the pressure? Find out here, right now on... TOTAL DRAMA ISLAND!"
The camera zooms back with every word she's emphasize, revealing the entire island and a rundown summer camp behind her.
(The song begins with a total of four spotlights and cameras coming out of random places, such as out of the grass or from a tree, the last two knocking down a beaver and a squirrel. Then a clapperboard clamps down, and the camera starts moving through Camp Wawanakwa and past the host of the show, Kris, who is drinking coffee, and commanding the camera crew from a folding chair.)
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine,
You guys are on my mind.
(It then goes to the top of a cliff and then down towards the water, where a bikini-clad Olivia is seen swimming underneath and farting, knocking out a fish with the smell.)
You asked me what I wanted to be
(The scene pans up to the surface of the lake where Bradley and Georgia are seen looking into each other's eyes, flirting, while floating on Bradley's surfboard in their own swimwear. However, the two cringe with disgust as the smell of Olivia's fart reaches them.)
and now I think the answer is plain to see,
(As the unconscious fish floats above the surface, an eagle flies by and picks it up, dropping it somewhere in the forest, where DJ is seen sitting in the forest cuddling with two birds, a chipmunk, a skunk, a frog, two squirrels, a tortoise and a bunny. DJ seems to get along well with them until the dead fish drops right in front of her, startling the animals and causing them to attack her, so DJ runs away screaming.)
I wanna be famous.
(Denica is seen laughing at DJ's misfortune, until she notices Curtis glaring at her disapprovingly.)
I wanna live close to the sun,
(The camera then goes through the forest to where Heath and LeShawn are seen locking grips and glaring each other on a rubber raft that ends up falling down a waterfall, since they weren't paying attention.)
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
(As the two screaming boys fall by, Harriet is seen practicing martial arts moves on a cracked log stretched across a gorge behind the waterfall, up until Isaac, who is swinging on a vine, crashes into her, sending them both flying back into camp, where they crash into an outhouse and knocking Lenny out of it with his shorts down, exposing his underwear.)
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
(Lunchlady Hatchet is then seen in the kitchen, stirring a pot of food with her bare hands. She then looks at Nora and Edythe, who are tied up together at the counter. They briefly glance at each other nervously, before the camera pans over to Taylor and Ivan, who are arm-wrestling at a nearby table. Taylor is struggling to win against an evil-grinning Ivan, until Taylor points at something, causing Ivan to look in that direction. With Ivan distracted, Taylor beats him, much to his anguish.)
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
(The camera moves out the window and pans over to Kam and Sam, who are sitting near the beach on some stairs, drooling over Justice, who is looking at herself with two different hand mirrors. Justice's reflection seems to be flashing a smile and winking back at her from the right mirror. A seagull, with a plastic 6-pack soda pop ring around its neck, is seen sitting on the water as a shark jumps over it and eats a trout in mid-air. The seagull appears to be safe until a mysterious tentacle grabs it, and pulls it into the water.)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Bert is then seen when the camera moves over to the Dock of Shame, where he is twirling a flaming baton in his hand, while smiling at the camera. Bert then tosses the baton up in the air and the sky switches to night.)
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
(Glen and Trisha are now seen, sharing a romantic moment at the campfire pit, sitting next to each other and leaning in closely while smiling, until Cady appears between them, and puts her arms over their shoulders. The camera then zooms out, with Glen and Trisha looking awkwardly at an oblivious and smiling Cady while the rest of the campers are seen gathered in a circle around the fire while whistling the tune of "I Wanna Be Famous!", with Kris standing behind them. A wooden sign with "Total Drama Island" painted onto it is then seen, and the words flash briefly before the screen fades out.)
Kris is standing on the Dock of Shame. "Welcome back to Total Drama Island. Alright, it's time to meet our first 11 campers. We told them they'd all be staying at this five-star resort so if they seen a little TO'ed, that's probably why."
The camera moves to a white boat just leaving to show a short, slightly chubby, white teenage boy with short dark brown hair, big thick glasses covering his small black eyes, and braces. He has a teal-green T-shirt and a bright green vest over it, a calculator watch on his left wrist, pink pants that expose his shins with bright green suspenders decorated with buttons and pins, and off-white sneakers. He was standing next to an orange and yellow stripped suitcase.
"Bert, what's up?"
Bert runs up to Kris and gave her a giant hug. "It's so incredible to meet you! Wow, you look much older in real life." He then smiles and waves at the camera.
Kris gave him an annoyed look for bringing up her age. "Uhhh... thanks."
The camera went to another boat that was dropping off a very tall, slightly muscular and dark-skinned girl. She has dark brown hair that reach down her shoulders and small black eyes, and a mole on her left cheek. She's wearing a white bucket hat, hoop earrings, a moss green T-shirt with an orange D on the front and a white rim around the neck, sleeves and bottom, and also wears gray knee-length shorts and brown flip-flops. She's holding two large gym bags, one blue, one grey.
"DJ!" Kris reaches out for a high five.
DJ puts down her bags with a smile still on her face "Yo, Kris McLean, how's it going?" she returns Kris' high five, then she looks around. "Hey, you sure you got the right place here? Where's the hot tub at?"
Kris got a large cocky smile on her face. "Yo, my home girl, this is it, Camp Wawanakwa."
DJ just glared at her and stomped off, "Hmph! Looked a lot different on the application form."
The third boat had already dropped off a very, very pale average-sized boy, he has black hair with teal highlights, dark (almost navy) blue eyes, he's wearing a black singlet over a light blue T-shirt, over a dark green long-sleeved shirt, he has on black pants with teal pockets and is wearing large black boots. "Hey, Glen!" Kris said.
Glen turned from his suitcases and scowled at her, then picked up his suitcases and walked up to Kris. "You mean we're staying here?"
Kris smiled and pointed at Glen. "No, you're staying here. My crib is an airstream with an AC, that-a-way."
Glen glared at her. "I did not sign up for this!"
Kris pulls out some papers. "Actually, you did." Glen grabs the papers and ripped them in half, then smiled at Kris. "The great thing about lawyers is... they make lots of copies." She holds out identical papers.
"I am not staying here!" Glen grabs his bags and started to head back to the boat.
"Cool, I hope you can swim though, because your ride just left."
Glen looked longingly at the boat then turned back to Kris. "Bitch."
Another boat came up blasting music with an average-sized white girl dancing. She has short cropped layered blonde hair, blue eyes, and a small cleft chin. She's wearing an unbuttoned pink shirt with rolled-up sleeves over a dark blue sleeveless top, she has dark denim short shorts, blue flip-flops, a brownish-green bracelet, a white bead necklace, and a cowboy hat.
She does a front flip off the boat and lands on her feet, then someone throws her suitcase next to her, she gives them a smile and thumbs up. "Kris McLean! Sup girl!" she gives her a fist bump "it's an honor to meet you, girl!"
"What up Georgia? Welcome to the island, girl!"
"Thanks, girl!"
Glen stares at them, then looked at DJ, "If they say 'girl' again, I'm gonna hurl."
Georgia high fives Kris again and then walks off to the rest of the group.
"Everybody, this is Lenny." Kris points at a tall white boy with a fit and well-maintained model-like body, he has bright blue eyes, long blond hair covered in a bright blue bandana with white polkadots, he's wearing a light brown singlet over the top of a bright red T-shirt, he has orange shorts and brown flip-flops. Kris whispers to the camera, "Not bad."
"Hey, okay you look real familiar." Lenny points to Kris.
"I'm Kris McLean." Lenny still looks confused and Kris' smile drops. "The host of the show?"
"Oh! Duh, that's where I know you from."
"Uhhh... yeah." Lenny's personality became obvious to everyone, he's the dumb good-looking stud.
The next contestant just arrived at the docks, a very intimidating, very tall, muscular Asian boy. He has grey eyes, a cleft chin and long straight black hair in a ponytail. He's wearing a faded maroon singlet, a necklace with a small silver medallion, faded green knee-length shorts, and faded red and black flip-flops. He's also wearing gray sunglasses, which he then takes off, looking around and glares at Kris.
"Heath." Kris said as he walked up to her.
"Hi Kris." Heath suddenly spoke. "I gotta say, you're killing it in those shorts and sandals."
"I know." Kris nodded and winked.
Heath rolls his eyes as he walks to the other campers. "Yeah, right. I have to stare at her wrinkly feet." he thought. He only said that to butter her up, since if he's gonna be stuck here he's gonna make sure he's on top.
Bert ran up to Heath excitedly. "Hi! Looks like we're your new friends for the next eight weeks!" he greeted, but accidentally spat a little at Heath because of his braces. Heath gave him a disgusted look and reeled back, flinching every time Bert talked.
"Oh God, please tell me this ugly little nerd isn't gonna follow me around!" Heath thought.
"He looks like a nice guy, I'm gonna follow him around! Maybe we'll be best friends!" Bert thought.
Suddenly rock music starts playing and all the campers look towards the next boat that was carrying an average-sized white girl with one leg on the speaker and the other on the deck floor. She looks angry and has short black hair with a large messy green Mohawk-type mop of hair over top of her head, and teal eyes. She's wearing a black spiked choker, a black T-shirt with a skull over an off-white long-sleeved shirt, a black wristband on her right wrist, dark blue short shorts, fishnet stockings, and long red and white knee-length sneakers. She also has a one-ear piercing in her right ear and two in her left, and an eyebrow piercing on the left side. When the boat came up to the dock, the punk girl threw her green duffel bag onto the dock before jumping off the boat herself and glares at Kris.
"Denica, dudette."
"I don't like surprises." she raised her fist threateningly.
"Yeah, your parole officer warned me about that, and she also told me to give her a holler anytime and have you returned to juvie."
Denica sniffed "Okay, then." She then walks to the rest of the campers; she walked past Heath. "Meet you by the campfire, handsome."
Heath just glares at her. "Drop dead, freak." Denica just smiled as she stands next to Lenny. "You cannot make me stay here, you know!" Heath walks up to his bags.
Kris just pulls out the contract, a boat honked and the camera moves to the next boat that has a girl waterskiing off the back of it. "Ladies and gentlemen, Taylor!" The white girl has shoulder-length messy brown hair, brown eyes, she's wearing a red and white bandana and a red jumpsuit with two white T's on the right side and a white zipper, and she has on white sneakers with red patterns on them. She suddenly tripped, let go of the boat and did a bunch of somersaults son top of the water until she bashed onto the dock and went flying past the campers and landed on the pile of suitcases. Bert, DJ and Glen all saw this went "Ohh, oww".
Taylor then lands in the water and splash it all over Heath. "Ugh, what the hell!"
"Wicked wipeout, girl!" Kris yelled out at her, Taylor just stuck her thumbs out of the water. DJ and Georgia saw this and gave each other thumbs up while Glen just glares at them both. Heath walked back next to Bert, now soaking wet and Bert waves at him. Denica has her arm around Lenny's shoulders and smirked at him while he just gave her a confused look.
Kris was laughing at all of them until she hears a deep sigh behind her and there stood a very skinny and tall-ish white girl with green-tinted glasses covering her small black eyes and shoulder-length auburn hair. She's wearing a long-sleeved pink shirt with a blue T-shirt over it, it has a pink and yellow spaceship on it, and green collar and green on the tips of its sleeves. She also has long moss green skort and large off-white, blue and green sneakers. She's carrying a keyboard. "Welcome to camp, Harriet."
Harriet looks around silently; Bert finally said "What's she looking at?" to DJ who shrugged.
Harriet finally looks back at Kris. "So you mean this show's gonna be at a crappy old summer camp and not on some big stage or something."
"You got it."
Harriet brings her fist up in happiness. "Yess, that is so much more favorable to my skills." She walks to the rest of the group and Georgia smiles at her.
Kris just stares at her and shudders. The next contestant walks up, "Contestant #9 is Trisha."
"Hey, good to meet you girl, I saw you on that figure-skating show. Nice work." says an average-sized white girl with messy black hair that goes slightly past her shoulders and covers one of her bright green eyes, a cleft chin and she's wearing a camouflage shirt with sleeves that go down past her elbows with a faded green T-shirt that has a black handprint on the front over it showing her midriff, she had long black pants and green sneakers. Trisha and Kris do the triple fist bump thing.
"Hey thanks girl, I knew I rocked that show!"
Bert puts up his hand, "I saw that. One of the guys dropped his partner on her head, so they got immunity that week."
Harriet looked at her. "Some guys have all the luck."
Lenny looked at them both and said, "I know, right?"
Trisha looked around, "So this is it?" The camera zoomed to the rest of the campers, Heath was glaring at everyone and twisting all the water out of his ponytail while the rest just looked bored, then Harriet stuck her finger up her nose. "Aaallrighty then." She walks over and stood next to Glen. She smiles at him but he just looked away and glared off into the distance, then he looked back at her and gave her a shy smile.
The next boat pulled over and it was holding an average-sized white boy with blond hair in a ponytail, a few beard hairs on his chin, and olive eyes. He's wearing a light blue hoodie, ripped knee-length jean shorts, and brown flip-flops. He's also carrying a surfboard, he hops off the boat and walks up to Kris. "Hey, what's up, brah?"
"Alright, our surfer dude, Bradley." Kris introduced the surfer in front of her, with Georgia in particular smiling quite a bit at his arrival.
Denica rolled her eyes and snorted, "Nice board, Ken. This ain't Malibu."
"I thought we were gonna be on a beach."
Kris said "We are!", the camera switched to a very polluted patch of sand where the seagull with the soda rings then got pulled into the ocean by the tide.
Bradley sighed "Great."
"Alright! That makes-" Bradley reaches down to grab his bag and accidentally knocks Kris over the head with his surfboard, "Owwww! Damn it, that hurt!"
Bradley walks up to the other contestants. "Hey guys."
"Heyyy, I'm Georgia!" she quickly introduced herself to him.
Bradley turns around to see her and nearly whacks Trisha, Harriet, and Denica over the head with his board, "What's up?"
"Dang! Watch the board, man!" Harriet said angrily.
"Hi, I'm Bert!"
Bradley turns again and nearly hit the three girls again. "Hey!"
"Okay, we all met the surfer! Can we move on with the show already?" Heath says while still rinsing out his hair.
"What, did someone forget their caffé latte this morning?" Denica teased.
"Bite me." Heath snapped.
"I love to." Denica said with a smirk.
The next boat pulls up to Kris, who's rubbing the spot on her head where she was hit before she introduces, "Our... next camper is Nora."
"Did you get my memo about my life-threatening allergies?" said a short skinny tan girl with dark brown eyes and very dark shoulder-length hair, wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with a bright red vest over top with a teal bow scarf on her collar, she has a faded green pleated skirt, long knee white socks, and green, white and orange sneakers.
"I'm sure someone did." Kris answered, waving her hand indifferently.
"Good. Is this where we're staying?"
"No, it's your daddy's house and we're throwing a party." Denica said sarcastically and cracking her knuckles threateningly.
"Cute. Nice piercing, original. Did you do them yourself?"
Denica grabs Nora's bottom lip and pulls out a needle. "Yeah, you want one?"
"Uhhh, no thanks. Can I have my lip back, please?" Denica lets go. "Thanks."
The next boat, a slightly larger, short, very dark-skinned boy with black hair in long ponytailed dreads and a goatee, dark brown eyes, a mole below his right eye, and he's wearing a beige T-shirt with four red circled fruits on the front, knee-length jeans, and brown flip-flops. He also has gold earrings, a gold hip-hop chain, a gold ring on his right hand and a gold bracelet on each wrist. "What up, my homies? LeShawn is in da house!"
Harriet gasped.
LeShawn walked up to Kris. "Yo, baby! Hey, how you doing? How's it going?" They high five as he walks past her. "Feel free to quit now and save yourself the trouble, yo, cause I came to win!" He walks up to DJ. "Oh what's up, my sister, give daddy some sugar!" They high five.
Harriet pops up and stares at him. "I've never seen a guy like you in real life before."
"Say what?" LeShawn replied, crossing his arms.
"You're a real big and loud gangster wannabe type." Harriet said, while spreading her arms apart from each other to emphasize.
"What did you just say to me, white girl?! Oh no you din't, you have not seen anything yet, I'll show you wannabe, baby!" He started stomping up to Harriet, who just got into a karate pose. Bradley and DJ held LeShawn back. "Oh yeah, you want some of this, Karate Kid? Well c'mon then!"
Kris scolds at the teens. "Alright campers, settle down!"
LeShawn fixed his shirt and looked at Harriet, who smiles sheepishly at him.
The boat drops off the next two campers, two boys, one is skinny and tall with tan skin and short black hair with black eyes, the other is short and fat with light skin and the same hair and eyes. However, they both dress the same with violet-pink caps backwards, black earrings, black and white striped singlets, knee-length violet-pink shorts, and pink flip-flops.
"Guys, Sam and Kam, welcome to your new home for eight weeks."
"Dude, it's a summer camp, sweet!" Kam exclaimed.
"Awesome! I've always wanted to go to summer camp!" Sam said.
They do a handshake which consists of putting two-thumbs-up fists together and wiggling the thumbs back and forth. Kris just stared at them and scratched her head, then the next boat pulled up and off hopped a short pale girl with grey eyes, messy brown hair under a teal beanie with earflaps, wears a white T-shirt with a moss green hoodie over it, teal long pants and green/grey sneakers. "Edythe, what's up girl?"
Edythe looks up and points to the sky, "Uhhh... I think I see a bird." Trisha laughs at this.
Kris puts her hand on her shoulder. "Okay look girl, I know you don't get out much and you've been homeschooled your whole life, just try not to say too much and get kicked off to early, okay?"
"Yes, sir." she replied, then shakes her head, "I mean, captain! I mean, ma'am! I mean, Gaga! I mean-"
"GO!" Kris screamed, pointing to the other campers. Now Kris hopes Edythe does get kicked off first.
Glen pointed at Edythe "That's just... wow."
The boat dropped off the next person, it was a short white girl with messy brown hair just past her shoulders, teal eyes, and a gap between her front teeth. She's wearing a green-ish white long-sleeved top with the sleeves rolled up to her elbows with a beige T-shirt over the top, which had a red strip and a green stripe across the front, she has teal jeans and dark green and cream-colored shoes. "Cady! The Cady-meister!"
"Everybodah, psyched to be here. See the boys have arrived, alright!"
She popped back and looked like she was about to say something to LeShawn, but he just put his finger on her lip. "Save it, little missy." He said with a smirk, and a sheepish Cady backed away quickly.
Next a very muscular, angry-looking white guy walks onto the dock. He has short black hair, a monobrow, hazel eyes and a mole below his left eye. He's wearing a dark blue singlet with even darker blue shorts, high white and blue socks, and white and blue sneakers.
"Ivan, nice. Glad you could make it." Kris said as Ivan walked past her, ignoring her completely.
Cady was about to shake hands with Ivan but he dropped his suitcase on her foot. "Oww! What's in there, dumbbells?" she asked, while gripping her foot.
"Yes."
Denica and DJ looked at him, then Denica said. "He's all yours, girl."
The boat dropped off the next person. "WOO HOO! Kris, what's happening?!" said a very large, chubby white girl. She has dark green eyes and shoulder-length blonde hair, she's wearing a white T-shirt with a teal maple leaf on the front, moss green shorts, and yellow-green and white sneakers. She laughed, "this is awesome! WOO HOO!"
"Olivia, welcome!" Kris announced, sharing the big girl's enthusiasm.
Olivia picked Kris up in a giant bear hug, and you can hear a crack, "Awesome to be here, man! YEAHHH! Man, this is so..."
"Awesome?" Glen asked.
"Yes, awesome! WOOOO! Are you gonna be on my team?"
"Oh I sure hope so." Glen answered sarcastically while twirling a finger around.
"WOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!"
Kris, who's still in Olivia's arms, looked ticked off. "You're about finished?"
"Sorry dude, I'm just so psyched!"
"Cool, and here comes Curtis."
An average-sized tan guy with short neat brown hair, freckles, dark brown eyes and wearing a beige shirt with sleeves that go below his elbows and a grey vest, moss green pants, and dark brown shoes, is waving and smiling at the camera politely. "Much obliged," Curtis said to Kris as he got off the boat, then walked up to the rest of the campers. "Hi, you must be the other contestants. It's really nice to meet you all."
Olivia shook his hand. "How's it going? I'm Olivia!"
"Nice to meet you, Oliiii-wow..." Curtis turned his head and saw what could be described as the most beautiful girl in the world. She's a tall girl with perfectly tanned skin, crystal blue eyes, flawless black hair that goes down to her waist, and perfect white teeth she showed with her smile. She's wearing a dark green T-shirt hugging her bust and showing off her midriff, long worn-out denim jeans, dark green flip-flops, and is wearing silver hoop earrings and a necklace with a green-ish charm on it. All in a perfect super model-like body.
Most of the campers were staring at her, amazed at how stunningly gorgeous she is. Olivia had sparkles in her eyes and had a big smile on her face, so lovestruck by this goddess.
"This is Justice, welcome to Total Drama Island." Justice and Kris bumped fists.
"Thanks Kris, this is great."
"Just so you know, we picked you based entirely on your looks."
"Works for me." Justice said, with a flip of her hair. Then she walks up to the other campers, unaware that Kris was looking at her longingly.
Olivia ran up to her. "Say, I really like your pants and sandals, they go great together."
"Thanks."
"Your pants look like they're worn out," she laughed, "did you buy them like that?"
"Uh no, I've just had them for a while." She's obvious to most of the male campers staring at her.
"Oh... cool." She gave her the thumbs up, then turns around and slaps on her head. "Really, Olivia? Stupid!"
"That's the second time someone brought up sandals. What's the big deal?" Glen said out loud, annoyed. This made DJ, Georgia, Lenny, Bradley, LeShawn, Sam and Kam self-consciously look at their own sandaled feet. Kris and Heath either didn't listen or didn't care.
The next person on the boat was an average-sized white boy with curly ginger hair past his shoulders in cornrows, a few beard hairs on his chin, and bright green eyes. He has on a grass green singlet with a light green upside-down triangle on the front, and a green wristband on his right hand. He also has on green knee-length shorts with a dark green line on the sides, a light green mini sarong tied around his waist, and green flip-flops.
"Hey everyone, Isaac!"
"Hey Kris, heyyyyy-WAAHH!" Isaac came running off the boat and fell off, slamming his chin on the edge of the dock, then falling into the water.
Taylor laughed. "Oooooh, that was bad."
Curtis ran up to the edge of the dock. "Guys, he could be seriously hurt!" He pulled Isaac out of the water, with his hair all wet and stringy, covering his eyes. Curtis asked, "Are you alright?"
Isaac shook himself off like a dog, causing his hair to be instantly dry and inflate like a balloon. "That felt, so... Good! Except for hitting my chin. It hurts like hell. Is this summer camp? That is so cool. Do you have paper Mache here? Are we having lunch soon?" he asked while fixing his hair back into cornrows.
Olivia points at Isaac on the last thing he said. "That is a good call!"
"First things first. We need a group photo for the promos. Everyone on the end of the dock!" Kris said, and everyone gather up at the end of the dock to pose. Kris pulled out a film camera and climbed up on the boat Isaac had come on. Most of the campers smiled as Kris aimed the camera at them. "Okay! One, two, three... Oops! Okay, forgot the lens cap." Kris removes the lens cap and aims at them again, "Okay, hold that pose. One, two- oh, no wait, cards full. Hang on."
LeShawn looked annoyed, tapping his foot, "Come on, lady, my face is starting to freeze."
"Got it, okay!" Kris aims at the camera at the campers once again, "Everyone say 'Wawanakwa'!"
"Wawanakwa-AAAHH!" The dock suddenly collapse under their weight. Kris still took the photo of Olivia holding onto a piece of the dock while Taylor, Harriet, Heath, LeShawn, Bert, Georgia, and Sam all try to reach for some pieces of wood or swim to the top.
"Okay guys, dry off and meet at the campfire pit in 10."
They are now all nice and dry at the campfire pit, some standing and some sitting on the stumps. "This is Camp Wawanakwa, your home for the next eight weeks. The campers sitting around you will be your cabin mates, your competition, and maybe even your friends. You dig?" Harriet smiles at Denica, who just raised her fist at Harriet. "The camper who manages to stay on Total Drama Island the longest without getting voted off will win $100,000."
Denica walked up, "Excuse me, what will the sleeping arrangements be? Because I'd like to request a bunk above him." she then pointed at Heath.
"Yeah, like I'd wanna share a bunk with you, juvie."
"Sorry, Denica, the cabins aren't co-ed, girls get one side of each cabin and dudes get the other."
Lenny puts his hand up. "Excuse me Kylie, can I have a cabin with the lakeview since I'm the handsomest?"
"Okay, you are. But that's not really how it works here." Kris said. Lenny's face turned into a frown. "And it's Kris."
"Okay, I have to stick by my bro, or I'll die!" Kam said as he and Sam locked shoulders.
"Yeah, and I'll break into rashes!" Sam added. "Seriously!"
"Oh God, you have got to be kidding me." Glen said, looking real annoyed.
"Awww come on guys, it'll be fun. It's like a big slumber party." Olivia grabbed Taylor and Glen in a headlock.
"Slumber parties are for girls!" Glen grumbled.
"At least you don't have to sleep next to her." Taylor whispered to Glen as she nudging her head towards Denica, who's giving a deer a noogie.
The camera went back to Kris. "Here's the deal, we're gonna split you into two teams. If I call your name out, go stand over there. Glen... Trisha... Heath... Cady... Lenny... Bert... Kam... Olivia... LeShawn... Justice... and Nora. From this moment on, you are officially known as the Screaming Gophers." She threw a green flag with a screaming gopher in the middle of it at them.
Olivia caught it. "Yeah, I'm a gopher! WOOO!"
"Wait, what about Sam?" Kam asked.
"The rest of you over here. Georgia... Bradley... DJ... Taylor... Sam... Isaac... Curtis... Edythe... Denica... Ivan... and Harriet. Move, move, move, move!"
"But Kam's a gopher! I have to be a gopher!" Sam cried.
Curtis put his hand on Sam's shoulder. "Sam, is it? C'mon man, it'll be okay."
"This sucks! I miss you man!" Sam yelled as he walked away with Curtis.
"I miss you too! Bros forever!" Kam yelled back, all teary eyed. He bumps his chest with his fist.
"Bros forever!" Sam repeated, also bumping his chest.
"You guys will officially be known as the Killer Bass." Kris threw a red flag with an angry-looking fish on it.
Harriet caught the flag. "Awesome. It's like... amazing."
"Alright campers, you and your team will be on camera in all public area during this competiton."
CONFESSIONAL - KRIS
"You will also be able to share your inner most thoughts on tape with video diaries anytime you want." Kris explained as she sat down crosslegged inside an outhouse with a camera attached to the door with flies buzzing around. "Let the audience at home know what you're really thinking, or just get something off your chest."
CONFESSIONAL - GLEN
"Umm, okay..." Glen began before looking right into the camera with his arms crossed. "So far this sucks."
CONFESSIONAL - LENNY
"Umm... I don't get it." Lenny said while standing up, with his crotch in front of the camera. "Where's the camera guy?"
CONFESSIONAL - DUCK
A black duck is seeing inside putting on lipstick, then quacks when it notices a camera pointing at it.
CONFESSIONAL - OLIVIA
"Hey everyone, check this out." Olivia said with a serious tone and face. "I have something very important to say." She was silent for a moment... then farts and laughs.
"Alright, any questions? Cool, let's find your cabins." Kris walks to the area with two cabins, "Gophers you're in the east cabin, Bass you in the west."
They open the doors. "Bunk beds? Isn't this a little summer camp?" Heath says in disgust.
Glen walks past him and bump him with his suitcase. "That's the idea, genius."
"Shove it, Dracula." Heath quickly glared at Glen as the goth started unpacking some of his stuff.
Cady walks up to Glen. "You're so smart, I feel that."
"Shouldn't you be on the girls' side?" Cady just smile at him. So Glen grabs Cady's shoulders, carry her out of the room, and put her down outside the door.
"Hey! Where are the outlets? I gotta plug in my charger." Lenny asked Kris.
"There are some of them in the communal bathrooms just across the way."
"Communal bathrooms? But I'm not Catholic."
"Not communion, communal."
Glen sat down on the steps, "It means we shower together, idiot."
Lenny suddenly looked like he's about to cry. "Seriously? Aw, c'mon!" Lenny whined in a nails-on-a-chalkboard type voice. Glen covers his ears.
Trisha, Olivia, and Nora looked out of their side of the cabin. "I'm glad we're in our own cabin with just us girls. You know what I mean?" Olivia said. Trisha and Nora just stared at her. "No! I didn't mean it like that, I love guys! I'm just more comfortable sleeping with girls. No, I mean-" Trisha and Nora just walked back inside the cabin.
"Excuse me Kris, is there a chaperone of any kind in this facility?" Georgia asked.
"You're all 16 years old, as old as a counsellor-in-training at a regular summer camp. So other than myself, you'll be unsupervised. You've got a half an hour to unpack and meet me back in the main lodge, starting now."
"Sweet!" Georgia said.
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!"
All of a sudden, a loud shrill scream rang through the camp and the campers ran to see what's wrong. They saw it was Lenny that screamed while he was standing on a chair. "Damn, that white boy's got some lungs." LeShawn commented.
Lenny points at a big brown cockroach on the floor. "There's a cockroach! Kill it! Kill it!"
DJ saw the cockroach scuttering around, shrieked and jumped onto Lenny's arms, which caused him to lose balance and landed onto one of the nearby beds... breaking it. "That... was my bed." Glen said as he looked at Lenny and DJ shaking in fear on his now-broken bed.
Many of the campers screamed as they either try to step on the roach under their feet or climbed on the beds to get away from it. Denica, on the other hand, came in with an axe in her hand and raise it above her head.
"Help me..."
CHOP!
"That's one way to kill a cockroach." Glen smirked, as he looked at the twitching halves of the roach.
"Awesome." Harriet complimented.
DJ got off Lenny, who looked down and blushed at how girly he was acting. Taylor came up to him. "Hey, it's okay that you're afraid of bugs. No one's judging, and if you ever see one of those again, I'll deal with it for ya, okay?" Lenny looked at Taylor happily, who returns with a smile.
"They always go for the blonds." Denica scoffed.
The camera flash to the mess hall. "Listen up! I serve it three times a day and you will eat it three times a day!" said a very tall, very burly woman with a monobrow in a messy light green shirt with sleeves rolled all the way up exposing her fouled tattoo on her left arm, a dark green skirt with even darker green boots. She's wearing a hairnet, a messy apron, and yellow rubber gloves. "Grab a tray, get your food and sit your butts down NOW!"
Bert asked, "Excuse me, will we be getting all the major food groups?"
Harriet agreed, "Yeah, because I get hypoglycaemic real bad, if I don't get enough sugar."
The Lunchlady's eyes started twitching. "You'll get a whole lot of SHUT THE HELL UP!"
Olivia looked at Nora. "Have a cow." Nora smirked at Olivia's joke.
Lunchlady looked at them. "What was that?! Come closer, chubby girl! I didn't hear you."
"Uh, I didn't really say anything important." Olivia said nervously.
"I'm sure you didn't. You, scrawny girl, your plate." She threw some red slop onto Nora's burger, but it came back up and latched onto the spoon, so she just threw it back down harder.
LeShawn looked at Ivan. "Hey man, what's up?" Ivan just stared at him and walked away, causing LeShawn to glare at him. "Screw you, then."
"NEXT!" yelled Lunchlady, right behind LeShawn.
Then it became Lenny and Glen's turn. "Excuse me, my nutritionist says I shouldn't eat any white sugar, white flour or dairy." Lenny said, Lunchlady just glared at him and crushed a fly with her hand.
Glen looked at his food. "I don't think that's gonna be a problem."
"Sweet!" Lenny said chipperly, then grabs his tray and walked off to the table where the rest of the Gophers are.
"Okay, I hate to be 'that guy', but I think mine just moved." Lunchlady just smashed it with a meat tenderizer, splattering it all over. "Right. It won't be moving anymore. Okay, then."
The camera flashes to the campers eating their... food, as it were. At least try to, some are rather reluctant. Each team is sitting at their own table. Sam and Denica noticed a Sloppy Joe (if you can even call it that) slithering across the floor. Kris then walks in. "Welcome to the main lodge."
"Yo, can we order pizza?" Georgia asked. A large butcher knife flies right next to her head and stuck to the wall, "Whoa, it's cool, gee! Brown slop is cool, right guys?" Lunchlady just glared at her with a large knife in her hand. The other campers nodded nervously, with Cady hiding under the Gophers' table.
"Your first challenge begins in one hour." Kris then walks out the door.
Kam looks up at DJ, worried. "What do you think they will make us do?"
"It's our first challenge, how hard can it be?" DJ said, not very worried.
One hour later...
All 22 campers found themselves in their swimsuits, standing near the edge of the island's 1,000-foot-high cliff.
"Oh (BLEEP)!" DJ said.
"I seriously did not sign up for this." Glen complained.
Author's notes:
Let's start with the names I picked: Heath, Harriet, Nora, and Isaac came from Evil-Blueberry's fanfic; though male Heather was actually named Heathcliff, but I think he'd rather prefer to be called Heath. Bert, Georgia, Denica, Trisha, Edythe, Cady, and Justice came from Abrigedfoamy's fanart Total Drama Genderbent in deviantART. Taylor, LeShawn, Sam, Kam, and Olivia came from MarcellSalek-26's fanart Total Drama Gender Bender. Ivan's name came from ChrisPhilHost1898's list of Possible Genderbent Names in reddit. DJ's name Deborah Josephine came from princess-sparklebutt's Rule 63!Total Drama Name Suggestions in tumblr.
Here's what they sound like. Some of their voice actors have been switched around (also inspired by homestar-n00b's idea) or replaced altogether from other seasons or even other Fresh TV cartoons.
Kris: Carla Collins (who voiced Blaineley)
Bert: Darren Frost (who voiced Darth from 6teen)
DJ: Novie Edwards (who voiced Leshawna)
Glen: Drew Nelson (who voiced Duncan)
Georgia: Stephanie Anne Mills (who voiced Lindsay)
Lenny: Dan Petronijevic (who voiced Geoff)
Heath: Adam Reid (who voiced Justin)
Denica: Megan Fahlenbock (who voiced Gwen)
Taylor: Stephanie Anne Mills (her Katie voice)
Harriet: Stacey DePass (who voiced Julie from 6teen) - Only with less of a lisp.
Trisha: Kristin Fairlie (who voiced Bridgette)
Bradley: Scott McCord (who voiced Trent)
Nora: Emilie-Claire Barlow (who voiced Courtney)
LeShawn: Clé Bennett (who voiced DJ)
Sam: Jeff Geddis (who voiced Devin)
Kam: Peter Oldring (who voiced Tyler)
Edythe: Ashley Peters (who voiced Staci)
Cady: Annick Obonsawin (who voiced Sierra) - Talk about irony, huh? Thus, male Sierra has Cody's voice actor.
Ivan: Jon Cor (who voiced Brick) - Try to imagine him with a slight Eastern European accent, and less chipper.
Olivia: Lauren Lipson (who voiced Sadie and Owen's mom)
Curtis: Carter Hayden (who voiced Noah)
Justice: Rachel Wilson (who voiced Heather)
Isaac: Cory Doran (who voiced Mike) - Although I can also imagine Rob Paulsen voicing him.
Lunchlady Hatchet: Roz Ryan (using her angry voice) - I know she isn't Canadian, but she's the only voice I think would be perfect for a female Chef Hatchet.
I gave Glen, Olivia, and Curtis the same eye colors as their younger counterparts in Total DramaRama, as opposed to having black eyes in the original series. Likewise, Nora's vest is brighter like her male counterpart in Total DramaRama, while it's darker in the original series.
Lenny wears flip-flops and has white polkadots on his bandana, like Lindsay in the original Camp TV pitch. Thanks to Total Drama, I have a thing for characters wearing sandals, which I had Glen lampshade. I also gave Isaac sandals too, like I've seen in several male!Izzy fanarts. Along with those two and Curtis wearing regular shoes here, that's seven guys wearing sandals here. Altogether, 10 campers are wearing sandals instead of 9 like in the show.
Speaking of which, I moved Heather complimenting Chris' shorts from "The Big Sleep" to this chapter, since in this AU Kris always wears shorts and sandals. And also to foreshadow Heath's antagonistic role.
Denica calling Bradley "Ken" is a reference to Barbie's boyfriend and that she's canonically from Malibu.
Bradley has ripped jean shorts, like Bridgette did in the Camp TV pitch (only they're much shorter than both canon!Bridgette and Bradley's).
LeShawn calls Harriet "Karate Kid", an obvious reference to the movies.
Kam and Sam's distinct handshake is identical to Arnold and Gerald's in Hey Arnold!.
The little dialogue at the end of Kris and Edythe's conversation is a reference to a scene from SpongeBob SquarePants episode "Karate Choppers".
I gave male!Izzy cornrows like in Kika-ila's fanart in deviantART. I also thought it would be amusing if his actual hair turns out to be all puffy, like in homestar-n00b's fanart, when his cornrows are undone.
Lunchlady Hatchet is basically a human version of Mrs. Lunch Lady from The Buzz on Maggie, but with Chef Hatchet's colors.
While I hope to make it a little different, the story will mostly be the same. Though feel free to suggest any ideas I might be interested in using.
