A shot of Camp Wawanakwa is shown as Chris makes himself known; "A beautiful good morning in Ontario, Canada... We started out with 16 campers and through these weeks that number dwindled down to just 2! Who is going home with the prize money... The hipster girl turned commando Zoey or the homeschooled farm boy who surprised everyone by not getting kicked out first... Let alone making it to the finals Ezekiel!" Chris said as it shows Zoey doing push ups to prepare herself while Ezekiel was nervously doing star jumps. "Which one of our two finalists is going home with the money? What can we expect from the future? What gigs does my agent have for me next? Find out in this exciting finale of... Total... Drama... Island!"
Chris was seen next to the confessional as he smiled at the camera; "We have asked our finalists to record their final thoughts before their final competition... Finally." Chris explained.
"How would I describe my time here in the contest aye? Didn't handle it as well as I did yo but I got friends to help me get through it and though the challenges were quite hard... I actually made friends!" Ezekiel said in the confessional.
"My time here? I thought foolishly that everyone here would all be fast friends and so trying to make that happen was a let down but things got better... To find out that I and others were fooled by Lindsay but..." Zoey said in the confessional and sighed at the reminder of her desire for friends.
"Serving all those ungrateful campers... Wanting less rat droppings as if this was a five star resort... The time I saw the Hamsters guess what animal was made in a meat loaf, so insulting... Wish fat kid stayed longer as he was appreciative..." Chef muttered in the confessional.
"Food... Unpleasant, if I am being honest... We did have that feast before the not falling asleep challenge..." Ezekiel said on the confessional.
"Food was terrible but I stomached it... Especially the Brunch; while others chickened out; I took it on..." Zoey smirked in the confessional and sighed looking more like her normal self. "Okay... I may have puked my guts out when I got to the toilets after that Brunch challenge but I eat everything..." Zoey admitted.
"The people here? I think I didn't make the best first impression but they warmed up to me... Got to see that the girls weren't as helpless as dad said they would be, Dawn and Gwen ended up being very cool and I got to meet Lincoln my first and best friend! Buddy; I am winning for you!" Ezekiel said with a confident smile in the confessional. "But Lindsay..." Ezekiel said and made a disgusted look on her face.
"Everyone was... Fine for the most part... Lincoln and Dawn... Got to make close friends and Ezekiel didn't turn out too bad..." Zoey said looking more like her old self before becoming stoic and glared at the camera. "But Lindsay..." Zoey said as she put a kill motion with her finger underneath her neck.
"What do I want to be remembered for? My personality!" Ezekiel said in the confessional as he made a confident pose.
"What do I want to be remembered for? My personality..." Zoey said in the confessional.
At the starting line there were 2 sets of stands with pictures of Zoey and Ezekiel on them and the 14 eliminated campers were coming forward as Ezekiel and Zoey were standing together next to Chris. There was Tyler & Cody acting like cool playboys together whiel high fiving eachother, Lindsay who was walking from a distance from just about everyone in fear, Courtney who was glaring at everyone who was involved at the Playa De Losers episode and they looked nervous at her when they saw her and there was Lincoln hand in hand with both Gwen and Dawn.
Ezekiel waved to them and they waved back; "Good luck to you all!" Lincoln called out as Ezekiel grinned and Zoey tried to look stoic.
"May the Earth mother have fortune for you both!" Dawn shouted out.
"Do your best guys and especially good luck to you homeschool! Shocked you made it to here!" Gwen had shouted.
"Surprised he is in the finals and not me the Sha-star!" Lightning stated dumbstruck that Ezekiel of all people had made it to the finals instead of him.
"I don't doubt that I would be there if I wasn't unfairly eliminated!" Courtney ranted with her arms folded as the majority of the eliminated campers were tense around her.
"Okay campers... Before I start the challenge I need 6 volunteers! These 6 volunteers will be allowed to act to help or hinder our 2 finalists during this competition!" Chris called out as Lincoln got his arm up at the same time as Dawn.
"You know what... Why not..." Gwen said and put her arm up to join her boyfriend and his other girlfriend in taking part.
"Lightning is not being outshined in the finale!" Lightning said with his arm up as DJ and Courtney put up their arms as well.
"Might as well make my presence known in this finale!" Courtney said looking determined.
"Helping out any way that I can!" DJ said as Chris looked to the other ex-campers.
"Okay now to the rest of you go to the stand of the finalist you are rooting for and you will not be allowed to leave once the competition has started!" Chris shouted out and Ezekiel gulped as he saw that the rest went to sit in Zoey's stand and no one was sitting in his. Lincoln and Dawn did their best to give him encouraging looks but the rest of the volunteers didn't look like that they fancied his chances.
"Oh... Looks like we have a clear favourite but let's start the final of Total Drama Island!" Chris said as he got the 2 finalists to come with him to 2 poles with flags at the top. "A 3 part final challenge: first part is to go up your pole and retrieve your flag. Only if you retrieve your flag can you continue on!" Chris said as Ezekiel gulped and Zoey looked serious.
"Best of luck Zoey..." Ezekiel told Zoey who gvae him a stoic look and nodded as if to say it back to him. Chris blew a whistle and Zoey went and easily climbed her pole and Ezekiel struggled to get up his.
"Come on... At least make this a little challenging for me..." Zoey complained at the top of her pole as Lincoln and Dawn finally had enough and went ot help give Ezekiel a boost up his pole with DJ joining in with Ezekiel managing to climb up as the others just stared.
"Dad is watching this at home and seeing that this homeschooled kid is in the finals and not his son..." Lightning groaned in the confessional.
"Watching Ezekiel struggle and realising that he outlasted me to get to the finals..." Courtney sighed in the confessional.
Ezekiel finally managed to get to the top and grabbed his flag and jumped down along with Zoey.
"Onto the next challenge!" Chris said having them come with him.
At the top of a cliff there was a pank to the other end of the cliffs with a nest of 2 eggs on it; "Down below are hungry sharks and your challenge is to take an eagle's egg and bring it to the other end of the cliff unharmed and then race to the finishing line. First one to cross is the ultimate Champion of Total Drama Island!" Chris explained as they looked up and saw a scary looking eagle with Ezekiel nervousas the helpers were open mouthed.
"You are sick..." Dawn glared at Chris and he grinned at her as if that was a compliment. He then had him go and Zoey ran to the nest and got her egg and started crossing the plank as Ezekiel nervously picked up an egg.
"I am going to help you Ezekiel; I am sorry but I don't trust that you won't break it and won't be pecked to death by an angry momma eagle!" Lincoln said going to the back of Ezekiel and helping him to steady it as DJ went to help him.
"Come on Ezekiel; you can do this..." DJ said going to the other side of Ezekiel as they carefully started walking the plank but it started moving. There was gulping but Courtney, Gwen and Lightning held onto the plank to keep it still.
"No way are we letting you all get killed!" Gwen called out as they were gratefuly as Zoey was almost done reaching end of the plank with her egg but then there was the eagle swopping down as Zoey began trying to push it away.
Dawn then ran the plank and held onto Zoey and got her egg; "Don't worry mother; you're offspring is safe with me... Trust me..." Dawn said soothingly as this seemed to satisfy the mother as she slowly walked the plank and put it at the nest along with Ezekiel putting his egg down as he reached the other end.
Ezekiel fell down tired as Zoey looked at Dawn gratefully for a second before running the plank and down the road to the finishing line.
"Come on homeschool... You made it this far and should at least give it more..." Lightnign said as they tried to help Ezekiel up.
"Yes... You should have at least more to give!" Gwen told him.
"Come on Ezekiel... You surprised us before..." DJ said as they got him up on his feet.
Ezekiel looked nervous and worried about his chances but Lincoln looked at him in the face and said "at least give it all that you can Ezekiel; I am proud of your progress and I know that you can still end this contest fighting! Even if you don't win; you can at least be proud of giving it all that you can Ezekiel... Do your best for all of us who think that you can do more!" Lincoln said as Ezekiel looked at him and then sucked up his gut and then started running and thinking about all the encouragement that he got.
He then started running faster.
"So anyone think that he could actually win and be honest?" Gwen asked and the 7 helpers ended up shaking their heads with Lincoln, DJ and Dawn being the most reluctant. "Didn't think so..." Gwen muttered as they then began running to get a look.
Zoey was running but was shocked as she heard footsteps behind her and looked behind her as she looked behind her and saw Ezekiel giving it his all in his running to catch up with her. She ended up tripping into a bush and Ezekiel ended up doing the same. He then got out his swtichbalde and got them both free. "Thanks for giving this back..." Ezekiel said as he started running and Zoey was taken aback before resuming the chase.
There was the area of the finishing line with the 6 helpers/hinders taking a shortcut to get there before the finalists; they looked and saw the finalists neck in neck as they were running to the finishing line with the eliminated campers cheering. Ezekiel looked at them and to Zoey and looked serious as he forced himself to run faster and faster until he outpaced hs oponnent.
He ended up tripping and getting into an unwitting sommersault before getting up dazed and kept running and Zoey was right behind him at the finishing line when Ezekiel fell...
His head and arm over the finishing line...
Silence as everyone stared and Zoey stopped as they took in what happened.
"I don't believe this... EZEKIEL IS THE WINNER! EZEKIEL WINS TOTAL... DRAMA... ISLAND!" Chris yelled out holding up Ezekiel's arm as he just realised what had happened and then the campers started cheering and Lincoln ended up patting Ezekiel on the back along with the helpers who started clapping for him politely.
"You won Zeke... You won..." Lincoln told him as Ezekiel was speechless.
"Have to hand it in you... You definitely surprised me..." Gwen said as Dawn smiled nodding along with her words.
"Can't believe it but congratulations..." Courtney admitted with a sigh.
"Just wow..." Lightning muttered.
"Just well done dude..." DJ said as Ezekiel started smiling and jumping up and down on the spot excitedly.
Then came Zoey coming up to Ezekiel and things were tense. They looked and Ezekiel looked scared at Zoey who stared at him...
Then smiled and took off her headband; "Well done Ezekiel; A bit of a bummer that I didn't win but 2nd place out of 16 teens is nothing to be ashamed of..." Zoey said looking and sounding like her normal self as she patted Ezekiel on the back as the others stared at her with Dawn, Lincoln and Gwen hopefully. "Listen... I want to apolgoise for how agressive and serious I have been... Sorry but my anger at Lindsay and wanting to train to get revenge made me act differently and..." Zoey said apologetically but she was taken into a hug by a huge smiling Dawn as Lincoln and Gwen gave her a thumbs up.
"Glad to have you acting like yourself again Zoey..." Dawn smiled in relief.
"Both versions of you were cool but nice to have hipster Zoey back..." Gwen said with anod.
"As much as Commando Zoey was cool... I prefer the actual Zoey!" Lincoln agreed as Zoey squealed.
"I finally get to think about how you got with your dream guy Dawn! So happy for you and Lincoln and you too as well Gwen! Don't mind you being with him as well!" Zoey said as the two joined in a group hug along with Ezekiel and the other helpers decided to join in as the other campers watched with especially Katie and Sadie finding it adorable.
That night at the campfire pit there was almost everyone seated with Lindsay looking shocked as Heather went to sit next to her. "Kind of impressed what you pulled here and you had me fooled and played like a fiddle... Make sure it doesn't happen again with me and we can be friends again." Heather told her and Lindsay was shocked and eagerly nodded.
Chris went to face them with Chef at his side holding a briefcase; "Campers... Your Total Drama Island winner Ezekiel!" Chris said as Ezekiel excitedly joined Chris with everyone cheering and clapping for him. "The ultimate symbol of victory... The final marshmallow!" Chris said as Ezekiel was presented with the marshmallow and swallowed it with a gulp.
"Now do I get my check?" Ezekiel asked and everyone was stunned as Chris shook his head.
"What's the big idea? Ezekiel won and he should get his hundred grand!" Lincoln yelled with a glare.
"Sorry snowball but no... I decicded to shred the check and so Ezekiel doesn't go home with 100 thousand dollars... Instead he gets this briefcase and inside... One million dollars in cold hard cash!" Chris said as everyone was stunned as Chef opened up the briefcase and Ezekiel looked at it in shock and awe.
"Good work Ezekiel!" Lincoln called out and the cheerings continued.
"A million dollars..." muttered Courtney along with Gwen and Lightning.
"I could have bought a lifetime supply of lip gloss..." Lindsay muttered as HEather ewho was open mouthed silent then looked at Lindsay silently asking if she was serious.
Ezekiel was in glee as grabbed notes as he counted some up and passed it to Lincoln who looked confused; "Here Lincoln... For being my first friend, guiding me and helping me see things beyond what I was told... Have a hundred grand out of my winnings!" Ezekiel told him with a smile as Lincoln was open mouthed.
"Zeke... This is your money... I don't know what to say..." Lincoln muttered stunned that he woudl do this but had hands on his shoudler to encourage him to accept the money. "Thanks man!" Lincoln said finally accepting it and hugging Ezekiel.
"Thank you all as well..." Ezekiel smiled to everyone and then to Zoey as he closed his briefcase and hugged it close to his chest.
Zoey just smiled good naturedly and said "I made a lot of friends which I wanted to do coming here so not a total loss... Would have been nice to win a million dollars though..."
"Tell me about it..." Lightning muttered as Chris coughed to get their attention.
"Don't worry Lightning as our winner, the runner up and you 6 helpers will have a chance to win another million dollars..." Chris spoke as this got the 8 teens' attention. "In... Season 2... You all qualify!" Chris explained as their eyes widened.
"I don't know if I can take more..." DJ muttered as Gwen glared at him.
"Oh no... I am done! You can't make me..." Gwen ranted only to get her contract shoved into her face and she looked at the highlighted part and shouted to the heavens.
"Another chance to win... " Courtney beamed along with Lightning.
"...I was looking forward to going home with my friends and family..." Lincoln muttered with a sigh.
"That's what video calls are for... Get back in touch with them!" Chris said as Lincoln looked resigned.
"...Well should be fun... If I have my new friends and girlfriends at my side..." Lincoln said as Dawn and Gwen went to his side and embraced him.
"One more thing to do..." Owen said as the 16 teens then smirked at Chris and Chef.
Chris and Chef were screaming as the 16 teens along with Dennis the bear were teaming up to hold them up as they went to the top of the tall cliff and then ended up throwing them down to the water as their screams and splash then the sounds of them screaming in terror and splash about to get away from the sharks were music to their ears. They then started to laugh as the camera crew showed the 8 chosen.
"We might as well close this up..." DJ said as they faced the cameras.
"Whether we like it or not; we will be returning for Season 2..." Gwen remarked with a sigh that turned into a smile as she snuggled up to Lincoln and Dawn did the same.
"We don't know what challenges are up for the next season yo but you will be here to watch it with us!" Ezekiel said.
"We will be definitely be giving it more to give especially with a million dollars on the line!" Courtney said.
"We hope you enjoyed yourself as we did... Mostly!" Zoey said.
"We will see you possibly same Total Drama time and same Total Drama channel!" Lincoln said.
"So that ends..." Dawn said as they got ready to say together collectively:
"Total... Drama... Island!"
