"I checked out Total Drama Island thanks to the buzz and ever since looking at her audition tape on the website; I knew that Dawn would definitely be the one that I was rooting for! Wanting to help the Earth with the prize money, so inspirational... I was Team Dawn in the love triangle all the way and I was astonished to find out that she and Gwen got together with Lincoln off camera, luckiest guy in the show BTW. Saw the extra videos made available online afterwards and being taken surprised to find that my fave TDI contestant is a fan... Rooting for you all the way Dawn and if you want more of my positive journey of Mother Earth; be sure to like, comment and follow!"
It was time once again for the Casagrande and Loud families to come together to watch Total Drama Island at Lori & Bobby's apartment. With both families getting ready; Ronnie Anne decided to look at the website and look at the excusive videos that lead up to Lincoln getting together with both Gwen and Dawn. She had vaguely heard of Julia and looked her up and found this video that came after the last episode on her profile.
"Well she looks to be a great role model; I can see why Dawn likes her so much!" Leni said with a smile as they watched the video but there were a few sceptic looks.
"I don't know; influencers like to lie and make a fake persona to look god on the cameras with some performative spiels." Carlotta commented shaking her head with a frown.
"Yes; people will literally say or do anything to get likes online." Lori said as she got smirks from her family besides Lily. "What are you looking at?" Lori asked raising an eyebrow.
"You would know all about that with all those posts you made to try and upstage Carol!" reminded Luan as they giggled and Lori wasn't happy with the irritation.
"Well on a more likely truthful post; I found this on the social media of Dawn's sis Carrie." Ronnie Anne said putting up a page with a post that said along with a smiley face:
"Favourite episode ever; my sister has a boyfriend and gets to meet Don! Devin and I are the biggest fans of Ridonculous race; hope Dawn was able to get an autograph to bring home. Lindsay being revealed is just the cherry on top."
"No kidding on that..." cheered Carlitos and they smiled at the memory of the episode last time.
"Things should be much more simple from now on." Maria said as they started getting into positions.
"Hope Lincoln's trip went well." Bobby said thinking of his brother in law.
"I am sure it did and they got rid of the dark forces off the Island." Rosa assured her grandson as they saw that it was starting.
"I just hope that it's that simple..." Rita muttered knowing how these type of shows are like.
"Last time on Total Drama Island." said Chris as it showed episodes of the last episode. "I had to host an award's show so Don of the Ridonculous Race fame took care of things for the campers on their first post-merger challenge in a special Ridonculous Race themed episode. Anyway; while most campers went on well in their 2 person teams; Lindsay kept suffering misfortune after misfortune thanks to Zoey. Lightning's obsession with forcing his partner Gwen through everything at quick space ended up making his team wait out a penalty for doing a task that Gwen was supposed to do and it costed him in the end. Lincoln and Courtney won the challenge and the 2 day resort trip while Lindsay and Sadie lost and Lindsay broke down and exposed her true colors to the camp as Zoey reveals herself to rejoin the competition plus it turned out that Lincoln had gotten together with both Dawn and Gwen off camera some episodes back and they were hiding from the cameras, selfish teens... It seemed like Lindsay was going to be voted off when Sadie convinced everyone to send her to the Dock of Shame so that Lindsay would have to suffer some more on the Island with her fellow campers hating her and Commando Zoey promising to make her time worth hell. I kind of admire that sacrifice. So will Lindsay finally be sent packing? Who will be one step closer to winning it all? Will my voice sound totally different in like 15 years? All this on more on the newest episode of... Total... Drama... Island!"
"I don't think Chris was too pleased about them keeping it off camera; reality TV needs to have the drama front and centre!" Lola muttered as she got looks.
"I hope that it's not you hoping that your brother's personal life gets all shown on TV for the world to see." Rita chided her daughter as Lola sighed especially as Albert and Myrtle looked disappointed at her.
"Well usually we love drama like that on these types of shows if you watch them; different when you actually know and care about one of the people taking part." Ronnie Anne pointed out and they knew that it was a good point.
The opening is shown.
More singing along from the combined families.
3 days after the last challenge; the campers all saw the cruise ship coming their way and soon Lightning, Gwen, Dawn & Ezekiel were waiting patiently at the Dock of Shame as the cruise ship docked. Courtney smiled as she went down to the Dock holding Britney and a box. "I have a box of expensive chocolates from the resort for those that didn't win the trip." Courtney offered with a gloating smirk and Dawn good naturedly thanked her as she had taken one.
"So humble Courtney really..." Luna said mockingly as they giggled at that.
"A resort like that wasted on her stupid racoon..." Lola muttered and Lori and Carlotta couldnt't help but silently agree.
"I have all aches removed from my body and the cleaning material... My hair and skin never felt so refreshed..." Courtney bragged some more.
There was gagging from Lana as some rolled their eyes at this but felt jealous over the comfort that Courtney experienced.
"That was supposed to be Lightning's trip..." Lightning ranted as Gwen glared hard at him and he glared back at her. "Don't look at me like that; if only you could keep up..." Lightning told her and Gwen shook her head.
"Maybe if you were more of a team player! Rather Ms CIT over there get the trip rather than have to spend it with you!" Gwen retorted back as Courtney smirked.
"Anyone want to say something?" demaned Lynn Jr expecting it this time and they just chosed to stay silent and give her looks.
"Thank you Gwen and I had the most wonderful time with my friend that's like a brother..." Courtney said as Lincoln then went down smiling and waving to the fellow campers glad to see him back.
"Looks like things went well for the both of them; especially Lincoln." Carlos said as they all smiled thinking that it did him good getting to relax after everything the show was throwing at him.
"You should have felt the massages that they had..." Courtney said.
"Indeed; I had a crink in my shoulder that I had for 2 years thanks to April Fool's... Doesn't make a sound now..." Lincoln said as Dawn then threw herself at him in an embrace and Gwen did the same; Dawn taking his lips to kiss and then allowing Gwen to do so as well. "Definitely felt better than all the massages... Glad to be back here with my two favourite girls!" Lincoln smirked hugging them back.
There were glares to a sheepish Luan from the Loud family as that particular year was the straw that broke the camel's back and Luan was banned from her April Fool's pranks or risk severe punishment from the family. Still they smiled at Lincoln's reunion with his girlfriends.
"So he likes them more than he likes any of you..." joked Ronnie Anne with a giggle to the Loud sisters as they snickered but Leni and Lily looked worried.
"Just a figure of speech; Lincoln's love for us all is absolute..." Lynn Jr assured his second oldest and youngest daughters respectively as they looked relieved and smiled at the camera.
"Glad to have you back here; wasn't the same without you here! Even before we got together; you helped make this dump of an island tolerable!" Gwen told him with a smile as they let go.
"Indeed; talking with all of my animal friends and my co-girlfriend to you were great but I couldn't help but wishing that you were here as well." smiled Dawn.
"Bro! Wasn't the same for me without the other half of the dream team here!" Ezekiel said going for a high five and Lincoln indulged him.
They were smiling at the reunions going on there; even with Ezekiel.
"So Lincoln; you know that we are properly now fully competing against eachother. No hard feelings agreed and so you won't take it too personally like the others as I claim the prize money?" Courtney asked trying to look good natured in speaking as Gwen just folded up her arms but Lincoln put up an eyebrow.
They just sighed at this; "You think that Courtney will become too competitive?" CJ asked concerned as they all looked at eachother unable to answer.
"Hopefully not..." Lynn Jr managed to say.
"Off course Courtney; as long as you and everyone else doesn't take it personally... When I beat you and everyone else and do my own victory dance at the finale! Go Lincoln! Go Lincoln!" Lincoln replied as he started doing his personal victory dance as everyone just stared.
There were stares before it became laughter from the Louds but the Casagrandes just continued to stare.
"What... What is he doing?" Bobby asked dumbfounded.
"Lame-O! You know that this could be shown on TV, have you no shame..." Ronnie Anne snapped at the TV screen.
"This was a whole thing we had years ago... Long story but... Tell you later..." Lynn Sr managed to finally explain as they took this in.
"You two are dating that..." Lightning muttered to Gwen and Dawn as they started giggling and there was a cough as they all saw Chris sternly going their way.
"Welcome back to Camp Wawanakwa; Courtney and Lincoln and to Lincoln... Thank you for that display that will assuredly be the source of my nightmares tonight." Chris remarked shaking his head.
There were laughs at this and at Lincoln's girlfriends' reactions.
"Anyway if you two could please quickly move your stuff to your cabins and so you can make your way to the mess hall for today's challenge." Chris told them.
At the mess hall Lincoln was smiling as he sitted himself in the middle of Dawn and Gwen with them smiling as well; Lincoln smiled as he saw Zoey enter and went to greet her saying "hi Zoey; how did the last two days go for you?"
"Fine." she said simply with a stoic face as she sitted herself and Lincoln and Courtney's eyes widened as they witnessed Lindsay dragging herself in looking all dirty, warn out and just tired.
They all smiled at Lindsay's discomfort thinking that the 2 days must have been hell for her. "Anyone else wondering if Zoey will get back to normal?" CJ asked concerned and they all frowned, hopefully after finishing making Lindsay pay she can go back to her normal self.
"What happened to her?" Courtney asked shocked as Dawn and Gwen giggled and pointed to a smirking Zoey.
"Zoey hunted me the entire two days... I couldn't get a moment's peace... I kept falling into ditch traps and falling face first in manure as I kept running... The worst two days of my life! I wanna go home!" Lindsay cried in the confessional.
They laughed some more at this; "Hopefully you will be after this episode!" Ronnie Anne cheered.
Chef entered and started putting plates with pans over them; "You will be getting a 9 course meal; you must finish each dish to continue onto the next one. You will not know if the next is grosser than the last, not as gross or just as gross. Last one to drop out wins invincibility; the other 7 will have one of them be voted out in the Brunch of Disgustingness!" Chris explained as most gulped and Lindsay just screamed.
Their eyes widened and they gulped; "I know of reality shows where they make you eat worms... What are they going to have to eat?" Albert asked and they didn't know.
"Probably nothing good considering what the previous challenges have been like... I could get a heart attack from seeing what the dishes in this brunch could be like..." Rosa muttered and the other big chef there Lynn Sr nodded along with her.
"Maybe you won't find them so bad but I am afraid to keep watching..." Lola whispered to Lana who humphed at what her twin had said to her.
"Just vote me out just now! I lose and that's it!" Lindsay cried out loud as they looked at her.
"Yes! Please!" they all cheered out.
"Your going to chicken out of more punishment you manipulative brat? Perhaps we should just shove everything down your stupid throat?" Zoey asked with a humph as they all looked at her stunned.
"Wow Commando Zoey is hardcore; we would never have believed it if we were told this after watching the first episode..." cheered Ronnie Anne as there were frowns.
"Hope she can get back to her nice self..." Leni muttered.
"Come on Zoey; I know that we and especially you have been through enough but now... Lindsay has been punished and I don't think that we need another one to be voted off who doesn't deserve it like DJ and Sadie just so that Lindsay could stay in. Just let her leave this episode and call it at that!" Dawn suggested to Zoey going up to her and putting a hand on her shoulder.
"Well considering all that she had done; shouldn't she pay further?" Lynn Jr asked and Ronnie Anne nodded along but there were frowns from the more innocent ones there and the older ones.
"At a point enough is enough; I think that they had gotten their pound of flesh from her at this point." Maria said but couldn't deny that considering what Lindsay had done; the vitrol for Lindsay was more than warranted.
"You are really going to wimp out and stop further justice? Fine; I don't see you lasting long with your attitude..." Zoey replied as they stared at her and Dawn looked hurt.
"Come on Zoey; don't be like that to Dawn... She spent so much time fretting over your disappearance after we realised that you were missing..." Lincoln spoke up as Zoey humphed.
"What? They were like besties before and now she said something like that... I miss the old Zoey..." Leni said keeping her frown with CJ, Carlitos and Lily keeping their frowns with the others starting to see the point. Ronnie Anne and Lynn Jr were silent as they knew that treating someone that were close friends like this before wasn't cool.
"Zoey's aura... It scares me as well as her attitude... Her time out and what Lindsay had done to her as had an effect on her that I do not like..." Dawn muttered in the confessional looking worried.
"What Lindsay caused her to transform like that..." Hector muttered as they all were starting to more feel Dawn's worry.
"How about we not spoil my Brunch of Disgustingness and proceed so that we have enough film for the episode's length. We are proceeding and you are all taking part otherwise I am making you all vote 2 campers out!" Chris warned as they were shocked.
They all gasped out; "Wow, what a jerk!" Leni remarked with her arms folded.
"Bending the rules as he sees fit; never occurred to me what these Reality TV hosts are really like..." grunted Rita.
"You can't do that!" Lincoln said as Chris shook his head.
"Chris is the host and he can and you dummies are not skipping out on this challenge after all the time we spent gathering ingredients and I spent cooking this brunch!" Chef retorted as they sighed in compliance.
"I remember how Don made Lightning do that penalty and added that time after seeing how he treated me his partner... Why couldn't he have stayed and be the host from now on?" Gwen asked in the confessional sighing with her arms folded.
"Yeah; I miss Don..." Myrtle said and they all nodded at that.
"Well bring it Chris! Lightning will win and get immunity!" Lightning cockily said as Courtney scoffed.
"Your athleticism won't do much good in this challenge against my iron stomach! Bring it on!" Courtney then confidently said as Chris and Chef grinned.
"I like the initiative but I am just afraid of what is on those plates..." Lynn Jr said as they all noticed Lisa who had yet to speak up this episode and she looked scared. "Something wrong Lisa?" Lynn Jr asked.
"Just what is covered in food eating challenges in those contracts..." Lisa explained as they all groaned.
"We will see if you will eat your words as we begin the Brunch of Disgustingness!" Chris said as Chef then brought the pans up to show the meatballs as they stared at them.
"Is that meatballs; they look weird..." Luan asked as they nodded perplexed.
"Meatballs made out of bull testicles!" Chris explained as they looked disgusted at that.
"Please tell me that there is something wrong with my ears and he didn't actually say what I thought he said..." pleaded Bobby as they were all open mouthed.
"I wish I could Boo-Boo Bear; believe me..." Lori said as their faces went all green.
"...That is just wrong..." Lana ranted looking cross.
"I can only imagine what Sam is thinking at this point in the episode..." Luna remarked holding back barf as she thought of her girlfriend watching the show with their band; a big animal lover like Lana who was a vegetarian.
"Bull... What? Are you... What the... Have you no shame! I can't eat meat and I certainly won't... May the Earth Mother strike you down with lightning and may your cremated remains be flushed down the toilet!" Dawn ranted picking up her plate and throwing hard at the ground as they stared.
"She has the right idea..." Maria said and they all nodded.
"I can imagine that Sam would have an outburst like that..." Luna said thinking to her girlfriend and thinking now that her upset reaction would probably be like this.
"Are you alright Dawn..." Lincoln asked concerned going up to check on her as she sighed.
"Glad that Lincoln is checking on her but did he eat..." Leni asked and they gulped.
"I'm passing as well..." Lindsay muttered as Lightning, Courtney, Ezekiel and Gwen all forced themselves to eat.
Lincoln looked at his plate and gulped as Dawn sighed saying "don't worry about me thinking any less of you Lincoln... People choose to eat meat but... I don't even want to look sorry..." Dawn muttered looking away at the gross meatballs on Lincoln's plate as he forced himself to pick one up and eat with his face green.
They looked away at the people eating this revolting dish.
"Is that all you have?" Zoey asked as they all stared at her having eaten all the meatballs on her plate no problem.
"...Is she for real?" Lori asked as they all stared in disbelief.
"Lindsay and Dawn are out and now for the next course in pizza." Chris said as eyes all lightened up at this as Chef put down the new plates. "To be more specific... Grasshopper pizza with live anchovies and jellyfish sauce..." Chris explained as they looked horrified.
"This is an atrocity to everything good with cooking!" ranted Rosa as they fought back barf.
"Please don't let this ruin pizza for us..." Luan pleaded on behalf of the Loud sisters who were disgusted.
"Have you seen Inside Out and how at the place with the broccoli pizza and how it ruined pizza in the movie... I think that ruins pizza more!" Ronnie Anne ranted.
"Pizza is Lightning's victory meal of choice McLean so this better not put me off for good..." Lightning muttered as Courtney started on her's along with Ezekiel and Gwen who looked reluctant. Zoey to their surprise started tucking in no problem.
"Okay; did all that time training on her own really make her like that? I am both scared and impressed at the same time..." Ronnie Anne remarked as they were all in disbelief.
Lincoln looked at his slice and gulped but ended up scraping off the jellyfish sauce and grasshoppers to put it in his mouth. "Ah... No Lincoln; you're out!" Chris told him as Lincoln shook his head.
"No regrets..." Lincoln muttered as Dawn went to catch him as he almost fainted and fell to the back of his seat. Dawn then embraced him to soothe him as he sighed happily.
"No one is blaming you Lincoln; I promise you that!" Lori spoke out and they all nodded.
A montage of the next rounds with Lightning backing out of the eating worms dish and soon there was Courtney, Ezekiel and Zoey (the only one looking like the dishes were no big deal) left.
During this montage while finding the music nice; they kept pausing and running to the bathrooms to barf and especially the drinking skunk stench was too much for even Lana. "... This is torture just having to watch..." Lola cried out as they finally got past the montage.
"For the final dish... Delicious dolphin wieners, hot dogs made out of dolphins!" Chris explained as Chef showed the plates with the dolphin wieners with all but Zoey looking disgusted; as she started eating her's. Dawn was just looking murderous at this point at Chef as Lincoln's face was frozen with shock.
"What? Dolphins are like among the best sea animals!" cried Lana as their eyes widened.
"I sure hope that Sam is okay after watching this; I can imagine this giving her a heart attack..." Luna said as they took this in.
"I can stomach a lot aye but... Dolphins are some of the pure sea animals out there from what I read so I can't..." cried Ezekiel as Courtney looked and sighed.
"My stomach can handle it but... It doesn't feel good so no..." Courtney forced herself to admit.
"We are all impressed that you 2 actually made it this far in this stupid horrid challenge..." Carl said and no one disagreed with that.
"I slave over a hot stove cooking dolphin; no appreciation..." Chef ranted in the confessional.
"I have to admit that I could almost admire the nerve of him doing this confession..." Lori reluctantly said.
"I don't share the same sentiment Lori dear; I just want to punch him for giving a bad names to proper actual chefs!" Rosa said with Lynn Sr nodding.
"Amen to that!" Lynn Sr agreed.
"Okay Zoey wins the Brunch of Disgustingness and gets invincibility! We made it through the challenge and so you can be allowed to vote only one camper out..." Chris said as Lindsay looked hopeful as Zoey smirked in response.
"Wonder if the Zoey from the start of the show would have won this challenge..." asked Lana and they all honestly doubted that.
"You are going to vote me off right?" Lindsay pleaded at everyone as they all sighed as they glared at her.
"Kind of feel sorry for you if we let you stay here with Zoey but also because no one else should miss out on the money thanks to you... Plus after all you did in playing around with our feelings and could have killed Tyler and Zoey... I really would prefer never to have to see or be near you again." Lincoln replied with his arms folded as Lindsay gratefully went to hug him only to be held back by Gwen and Dawn.
"Don't push it blondie..." Gwen warned her as there was scoffing from Zoey.
"So it looks like that she is FINALLY gone!" Frida said as they all cheered at that.
"Wanting to be soft on Lindsay... Wonder if all of you weak stomachs will have what it takes to make it to the finals because I now aim to win it! I won't be taking any crud from either of you!" Zoey warned as she then left.
"Okay; this competitive Commando Zoey is now scaring me and how nonchalant that she powered through that challenge... I prefer the old one as well..." Lynn Jr muttered and Ronnie Anne despite finding Commando Zoey so cool had to nod to at that.
"Okay she is starting to scare me now..." Courtney muttered in the confessional.
"Me to..." Lucy muttered and that clinched it; Commando Zoey was now actually scaring the creepy goth of the Loud family who hangs out at a cemetary during the night.
The contestants were later at the campfire pit with Chris facing them; "Okay Zoey wins invincibility and you have all casted your votes and..." Chris started saying with the plate of marshmallows as he then tossed a marshmallow to Zoey who caught it no problem.
"Lindsay." they all called out as Chris looked annoyed at them.
They all laughed at that.
"I am going to call out your names and you will receive a marshmallow..." Chris continued on.
"Lindsay." they all called out again as Chris was now glaring at them.
Chris then coughed and said "whoever doesn't receive a marshmallow..."
"Lindsay." they all called out again and Chris angrily threw everyone but Lindsay a marshmallow as she then began running to the Dock of Shame.
"Wow... They don't even want to even try and pretend that it could be anyone else..." Hector said as they all found this hilarious.
"Wonderful... Couldn't even let me build up the suspense... You know I keep hoping to make these campfire ceremonies more dramatic than the last but no; you couldn't let me have that!" Chris ranted as he then stormed off...
"You don't get to complain after what you pulled here!" Rita thundered.
"I'm free!" Lindsay cheered as she was on the Boat of Losers as it drove off.
"Good riddance!" just about everyone called out.
"Lincoln buddy, is Zoey scaring you like she does me..." Ezekiel muttered at the campfire pit as all but them, Dawn and Gwen had gone off.
"She really does... At first; she was all cool but how cold she seems from how friendly she was before... I prefer the old one now..." Lincoln muttered.
"We all do Linky!" Leni agreed nodding along with Lily and CJ as they all just looked at the screen.
"I am with you 2; at first I thought that she was just some stupid friendly hipster but I want that one back now..." Gwen muttered as Dawn embraced Lincoln holding back tears.
"I want my best friend back!" Dawn exclaimed as Lincoln sadly embraced her.
Leni, Lily, CJ and now Carlitos sighed sadly at this.
"Well how about we do like one of those reality TV alliances aye? Stay together and help her get her back to her normal self? I was kind of thinking that if Lindsay was allowed to stay then Zoey may have ended up killing her..." Ezekiel suggested and they all thought of his suggestion and gulped at his idea; they weren't even sure that they could dispute that.
"Surprised that it took this long for one of those to be born... If Heather had stayed on, I could see her forming one with Lindsay..." remarked Lori and they thought that it was a good point.
"I have no love lost for that girl but Zoey... It would be good to help her before she becomes even scarier..." Gwen muttered as they put their hands together.
"Save-Zoey Alliance is a go!" Dawn said with a smile.
They all cheered hopefully for this; "Just for the record everyone... You are welcome to stay to recover after seeing the most disgusting episode yet!" Bobby called and they all sighed at the grossed thing.
"You think that they can help Zoey get back to normal?" Lily asked her parents and they looked at eachother.
"I am sure that they will think of something; remember you brother is the Man with the Plan!" Lynn Sr said assuringly and everyone felt better on this point.
"Man; I can't believe that I am rooting for Commando Zoey to be done away with..." muttered Ronnie Anne as they just took their time to get their stomachs back to normal as even for Lana; the disgustingness would have been too much.
"...Yeah I would never have lasted through this Brunch and especially not that final dish... Dolphins are our friends and all the time surfing with them... I am now glad that I decided not to put in an audition..." said a blonde haired girl watching the show in her home in Canada with her mother. "Still; a lot of cool people got on the show and they got rid of the worst egg... I know Zoey will get back to her own self..." the girl told her mother smiling forgetting about her disgust about the whole Brunch.
"Well; it's not too late if you have thoughts Bridgette." the mother told the girl showing her an Ad for teens to sign up for 8 spots on the renewed 2nd season of Total Drama; said to be movie themed and so no challenges like this.
"Could be fun and especially if people from here gets to carry on somehow..." Bridgette agreed deciding to give it a go at putting an audition together; maybe her surfer friends could help her with that and she could show off her (admittingly terrible) nose music.
