Author's Note: There was no voting in 'Pick Your Poison'. Beth quit the competition out of guilt over her actions in 'I Scream For Redemption'.

The episode opens with a black screen and a blocky red 'T' slid to the left of the screen, followed by a 'D', an 'AS', and a shining gold star, before the word 'AFTERMATH' flew up from the bottom and crashed into the acronym, showing off the new logo for the season.

The logo gleamed before an announcer said, "Welcome to the Aftermath."

Suddenly, the logo fades away and it cuts to Geoff and Bridgette sitting on a couch in the Aftermath studio used in Total Drama Action and Total Drama World Tour, with a live audience cheering and applauding in the background.

"Hello everyone and welcome to the premiere of Total Drama All-Stars Aftermath!" Geoff said with enthusiasm, as the crowd cheered in response.

"After missing out on the previous season, it feels so good to be back! Right, Geoff?" asked Bridgette.

"Right, you are, Bridge. And before we get into anything, we should introduce everyone to all the former Total Drama competitors who weren't able to qualify for All-Stars. Besides us of course." said Geoff.

"That's right, Geoff. In the peanut gallery, we have DJ, Izzy, Trent, Eva, Katie and Sadie, Ezekiel, and…(sigh) the wicked witch herself, Mildred, from Gen 1." said Bridgette.

"It's Blaineley! You're really going to treat that feral homeschooled freak with more respect than me?" asked Blaineley, who pointed at the cage Ezekiel was being held in.

"Yes. Yes, we are. And from Gen 2, we have Dakota, B, and Staci." said Bridgette.

The crowd gave them a round of applause before eventually settling down.

"Now Geoff, I believe it's time we explain to the viewers what this season is all about." said Bridgette.

"Alright then! Let's do this! So, in the previous 4 seasons of Total Drama, the show was hosted by a certain individual." said Geoff.

"The antichrist himself, Chris McLean." Bridgette said before showing a picture of Chris on the screen, which drew boos from both the audience and the peanut gallery.

"Chris, along with his buddy Chef, made sure to make our lives as miserable as possible, all for the sake of ratings." said Geoff.

"Honestly, I think most of the stuff he did was to please his sadistic urges, rather than ratings. How Total Drama was never pulled off the air considering all the near-death experiences we've gone through is beyond me." said Bridgette.

"Well, it seemed that after 4 SEASONS, someone finally realized that Chris was doing some shady shit and he got arrested by the RCMP in the Season 4 finale." said Geoff.

"This left Total Drama without a host, and we foolishly thought we'd never have to deal with this show again." said Bridgette.

"But of course, the network just had to keep the show going. So, they replaced Chris with a new host, the mysterious John Kasai." said Geoff.

"We actually don't know much about John but what we do know is that he had plans for the 5th season of Total Drama." said Bridgette.

"He sure did, Bridge. John gave the 5th season a theme, that theme being All-Stars. 25 contestants, 15 from Gen 1 and 10 from Gen 2, were selected to compete this season and the winner will receive a prize of 5 MILLION DOLLARS." said Geoff.

"And the other 24 contestants will receive $100,000 as a way of saying, 'Sorry about all the misery Chris put you through'." said Bridgette.

"Which makes me more pissed that neither of us got selected for the show." Geoff said, feeling bitter.

"Geoff, I thought you got over this." said Bridgette.

"I was in the final 6, Bridge. The final 6. If everyone voted out Heather, instead of Leshawna, I wouldn't even be here right now. It's just…frustrating." said Geoff.

"I know. Anyway, the 25 have now turned into 18, as 7 All-Stars were eliminated over the last week. And those 7 All-Stars are here tonight, ready to talk about their time on the show and their thoughts on what went down." said Bridgette.

"Our first guest comes from Gen 2. One of the more notable players of Revenge of the Island, this contestant came into the show hiding a secret." said Geoff.

"That secret being his multiple personalities. Despite his worry about his condition driving people away from him, he found love in the form of Zoey, who accepted him for who he was." said Bridgette.

"The two were happy and it seemed like he and Zoey would go into All-Stars with a lot of momentum." said Geoff.

"But that wasn't the case at all." said Bridgette.

"A darker and more sinister personality threatened to take control and sabotage the game, but he refused to let that happen and instead, he intentionally became the Total Drama All-Star's 1st elimination." said Geoff.

"This All-Star loves ultimate kickboxing and found love on an island filled with toxic waste. Please welcome, Mike!" said Bridgette.

The audience cheered when Mike walked onto the stage and only stopped when he sat down on the couch.

"Mike, welcome to the show, my man!" said Geoff.

"Thanks. It's cool to be on Aftermath for the first time." said Mike.

"Now Mike, we have some questions to ask you. Don't feel pressured to answer them if you don't want to." said Bridgette.

"Alright, throw them at me." said Mike.

"Mike, how does it feel to be the first All-Star eliminated, especially since you did so well last season." said Bridgette.

"It doesn't feel great. Ideally, I wanted to be in the final 2 with Zoey. That's what we planned on, but Mal had to get in the way and ruin everything." said Mike.

"Speaking of this Mal character, what is he like?" asked Geoff.

"He's dangerous. His name is literally short for The Malevolent One, and he intentionally hurts people to 'protect' me, when all he's doing is ruining my life." said Mike.

"I don't know if I'm crossing a line here or not but I gotta know, what's the worst thing Mal has done?" asked Geoff.

"Geoff! Why would you ask that?" asked Bridgette.

"I'm just curious, Bridge. Besides, it's kind of hard seeing someone like Mike being an absolute monster." said Geoff.

"Well, I remember when Mal stabbed a bully in the stomach with a pencil." said Mike.

The audience was shocked by this information, as were Geoff, Bridgette, and the Peanut Gallery.

"I'm sorry but did you just say the bully got stabbed?" asked DJ.

"In the stomach?" asked Trent.

"Yeah. It was out of self-defense but yeah, I stabbed him. It wasn't fatal or anything, but it did land me in juvie, which was definitely deserved." said Mike.

"He doesn't sound that tough to me." Eva said, which earned her a look from everyone.

"Eva, trust me, he's bad news." said Mike.

"I'll believe it when I see it. If I can handle a Sasquatchanakwa, I can handle an evil version of you." said Eva.

"Same. It'll take a lot to stop 2/3'rds of Team E-Scope." Izzy said before fist-bumping Eva.

"Okay, let's move on to something else. Mike, the way you eliminated yourself with the use of Duncan, do you regret it?" asked Bridgette.

"Honestly, no. Duncan being there was the best thing that could happen because I have history with him, and he knows how dangerous Mal is. If I tried to tell everyone about Mal, no one would've believed me. But with Duncan, he could do a better job warning people about Mal because he actually has experience. So no, I don't regret how I went out." said Mike.

"You're not even pissed about losing out on $5 million?" asked Geoff.

"A little but not that much. $5 million would've been great but…what would I even do with all that cash? I was fine with the money Cameron gave to me when he won Revenge of the Island. Not to mention, I got $100,000 just for showing up so I'm not about to complain. I just wish I had more time to spend with Zoey, that's all. But hey, at least my mental health is in check, and I'd much rather have that than $5 million." said Mike.

"I respect that." said Geoff.

"Good answer. One last question, if you could go back in time and compete in the season again, what would you do differently?" asked Bridgette.

"I would've talked to my psychiatrist about Mal's return in advance. If I couldn't do that, I would've told Zoey and she would've helped me stay in control during the game. I wish I lived in that reality, but I don't and there's nothing I can do besides cheering her and the rest of my friends on." said Mike.

"Well, Mike, thanks for answering our questions. Now, we move on to our next guests, both from Gen 1." said Geoff.

"These two have to be the longest-running couple on the show and out of all of them, they've had the least amount of issues." said Bridgette.

"Besides constantly forgetting names." said Geoff.

"Yeah, besides that. They entered All-Stars with the dream of winning it all, only for that dream to be cut short." said Bridgette.

"She likes to be called 'Her Hotness' and he has ridiculously strong fingers. Please welcome, Lindsay and Tyler!" said Geoff.

Lindsay and Tyler walked onto the stage and got a nice reaction from the audience. Many immediately noticed the bandages that were wrapped around Tyler's head, due to the severe concussion he suffered in the episode 'Kicking Balls'.

Once they sat down, Geoff asked, "Okay, before we get into anything, there's something I have to ask. Tyler, my dude, are you alright? Is your doctor cool with you being here?" asked Geoff.

"Yeah, my doctor approved of me being here. The worst of my concussion is over, but I was told I can't do any strenuous activities for the next few weeks. But other than that, I'm fine." said Tyler.

"And Lindsay, I can't even imagine what went through your head when Tyler got concussed." said Bridgette.

"Oh my God, it was so scary. Seeing his eyes roll into the back of his head when he got hit terrified me. But I'm really glad he's okay." said Lindsay.

"And that's the important thing. He's okay and he'll make a full recovery." said Geoff.

The audience clapped and cheered in response.

"Now, Tyler, how do you feel about Courtney? Are you mad at her? After all, she did cause your concussion." said Geoff.

"I can't say I'm mad at her. It's hard for me to be mad at anyone. And from what I've heard, she seems to regret what she did." said Tyler.

"Yeah, I bet she regrets it. Her own team banned her from the Spa Hotel for a few days. She got off easy if you ask me." said Geoff.

"Geoff, can you not talk about Courtney like that? She's my friend." said Bridgette.

"Okay, well Duncan's my friend and you talk trash about him all the time." said Geoff.

"Because he's a terrible person." said Bridgette.

"So is Ms. C.I.T." Geoff fired back.

"Hey, guys? You're supposed to be hosting a show." DJ reminded them.

Geoff and Bridgette recomposed themselves and apologized to DJ before continuing the interview.

"Alright, Lindsay, getting eliminated because you called DJ's bunny 'Rabbit'. That had to be pretty embarrassing." said Geoff.

"I know, it was so embarrassing. I can't help but forget names. Like yours, Mal." said Lindsay.

"It's Mike, Lindsay." said Mike.

"But you kept mentioning Mal." said Lindsay.

"That's because…(sigh) I don't want to get into it." said Mike.

"Moving on, Lindsay, what are your thoughts on Beth's actions in the episode 'I Scream For Redemption'?" asked Bridgette.

"I'm not super surprised she would do that. Beth can be kind of mean sometimes. Not Heather mean, but she can get a little nasty." said Lindsay.

"Like when she took all those cookies for herself because she was exhausted from being nice." said Tyler.

"Exactly." said Lindsay.

"Okay, kind of weird to diss your friend like that, but whatever. Tyler, how do you feel about being screwed out of the competition?" asked Geoff.

"It sucks. If I'm going to be eliminated, I'd rather be voted out than get sent to the hospital. And I was getting better at the show. I was taken out early in Island and I almost made it halfway in World Tour. I could've done even better if I stayed but…there's nothing I can do now." said Tyler.

"One last question for the both of you. If you could go back in time and compete on the show again, what would you do differently?" asked Bridgette.

"I would write down names on a notepad, so I don't forget them." said Lindsay.

"And I would be more aware of my surroundings." said Tyler.

"Good answers. Thanks for answering our questions. Our next guest is a Gen 2 All-Star, who, like Mike, found love on the toxic wasteland that was Camp Wawanakwa." said Bridgette.

"And it was the most unlikely romance in Total Drama history. As this ultra gamer found a girlfriend in Dakota, a girl who was obsessed with fame." said Geoff.

"Despite their differences, they connected and became a fan-favorite couple. And even after Dakota got mutated, he stuck by her and the two have had a strong relationship ever since." said Bridgette.

"This All-Star can play video games with his feet and has a girlfriend twice his size. Please welcome, Sam!" said Geoff.

Sam received a warm response from the audience as he walked onto the stage. He saw Dakota, who got out of her specially designed seat and embraced him, making out on stage. The audience cheered them on before they sat down, with Sam sitting in Dakota's lap.

"Sam, welcome to the show." said Bridgette.

"Thank you. Glad to be here." said Sam.

"Sam, how do you feel about being eliminated so soon?" asked Bridgette.

"I'm feeling mixed about it. On one hand, I wish I could've done better and at least made it to the merge. But on the other hand, I'm able to get away from some really bad people and be with the love of my life." said Sam.

"Speaking of the love of your life, you and Dakota have had a wild history. Especially Dakota, going from a fame-hungry Daddy's girl to a tall, intimidating mutant. I mean…it's nuts. Us Gen 1 contestants had to deal with crazy stuff but none of us had to deal with becoming mutants." said Geoff.

"Yeah, it's been a ride for Dakota and me. But it's a ride I'll never regret. And the thing is that while everyone was happy the toxic waste was gone from the island, I was sad." said Sam.

"Why?" asked Geoff.

"Because I wanted to become a mutant like Dakota. I hated how she felt so alone with her mutant status that I was willing to douse myself in toxic sludge so she wouldn't feel alone anymore." said Sam.

The audience 'Awwwwed' at Sam's answer and Bridgette said, "That's really sweet. A little disturbing, but sweet. Now, here's a big question, how do you feel about Beth after she pretty much got you eliminated?"

"Well, I was a little mad, to be honest. She refused to take responsibility and she chose to blame me, just because I saw her with the vinegar bottle. It wasn't right. But I can't stay mad at her forever. We both lost the game, so holding a grudge against her feels kind of pointless." said Sam.

"Boring! Where's the fury? Where's the rage? You got screwed out of $5 million!" yelled Blaineley.

"Yeah, but I don't care that much about the money. I got $100K, which is more than enough for me. Plus, I didn't stand much of a chance in the game. I mean have you seen the competition?" said Sam.

"Dude's right. The competition is pretty fierce this season." said Geoff.

"For God's sake, where's that stupid hammer you used to have? Or that anvil? Or that electric chair? Those would make this far more interesting." asked Blaineley.

"Anvil?" asked Dakota.

"Electric chair?" asked Sam.

"Guys, don't worry, 'Truth or Hammer' has been discontinued. The same goes for 'Truth or Anvil' and 'Truth or Electrocution'. I'd rather forget those ever happened. Especially the last two." said Bridgette.

"Especially the last two." Geoff said, getting flashbacks from his 'Captain Hollywood' phase that got him a ton of hate from both his fellow castmates and the audience.

"Last question, if you could go back in time and compete on the show again, what would you do differently?" asked Bridgette.

"I don't know, honestly. I think I would've been eliminated early no matter what, unless Team Villainy decided to sabotage each other but we know that's not happening." said Sam.

"Well, thank you for answering our questions, dude." said Geoff.

"No problem." said Sam.

"And before we get to our next All-Star, I think it's time we brought back an old favorite of mine to the show." said Geoff.

"And that would be?" asked Bridgette.

"That's Gonna Leave A Mark!" said Geoff.

(A montage was then shown of All-Stars getting hurt in the 8 episodes. The highlights include Tyler tripping over a rock in 'Here We Go Again (Part 2)', Cody getting hit with the red ball in 'Kicking Balls', Cody falling on Noah in 'Inglourious Suckers', most of the cast getting annihilated by paintballs in 'The Hunters and The Huntees', and Heather getting crushed by a sumo wrestler in 'Pick Your Poison'.)

The audience and Geoff laughed at the clips before Geoff said, "Man, that was some funny stuff. Now, it's time for our next guest, another Gen 2 All-Star."

"This Gen 2 All-Star is known for loving her hair. Way too much. To the point that she's willing to destroy the ozone layer to make it look good." said Bridgette.

"She competed in Revenge of the Island and mainly just flirted with Vito, one of Mike's personalities, and got herself eliminated because of a fake diamond. Easily one of the most embarrassing eliminations in the history of Total Drama." said Geoff.

"Definitely embarrassing. And her time in All-Stars wasn't much better as she spent most of her time making out with another All-Star and being generally unhelpful to her team." said Bridgette.

"She has ridiculously solid hair and loves techno music. Please welcome, Anne Maria!" said Geoff.

Anne Maria walked onto the stage, getting a mixed reaction, while spraying her hair with her signature can of hairspray, much to everyone's displeasure.

"Anne Maria, (cough) do you mind (cough) doing that (cough) outside?" asked Bridgette.

"Nope. I can spray my pouffe whenever I want." said Anne Maria.

"It's just that-" Bridgette said while trying to grab Anne Maria's hairspray can but then Anne Maria shot Bridgette a death glare.

"Touch the can and you'll be sorry." Anne Maria said in an aggressive tone.

"Ladies, ladies, ladies. Let's calm down, okay? So, Anne Maria, welcome to the show. How are you?" asked Geoff.

"What do you think, cowboy? I'm pissed off." said Anne Maria.

"And would you like to explain to the viewers why you're pissed off?" asked Bridgette.

"I'm pissed because that piece of shit scumbag Justin screwed me over." said Anne Maria.

"Yes, we're very aware of that. You and Justin were an item for a little while. What was that like?" asked Geoff.

"It was good while it lasted. He was hot, I was hot, we were a perfect match." said Anne Maria.

"But's there also the fact that the two of you weren't helpful to your team, Team Villainy, who saw both you and Justin as dead weight." said Bridgette.

"Whatever. They're just a bunch of haters. I don't give a damn what they think." said Anne Maria.

"So, you don't think you caused your own elimination?" asked Geoff.

"Nope. I blame my team and Justin for me being here right now." said Anne Maria.

"Sounds like someone's in denial." said Eva.

"I am NOT in denial. I was screwed over. I have proof." said Anne Maria.

"We watched a rough cut of the episodes. We know what happened. You chose Justin's body over your team. And look how that turned out." said DJ.

"Well…he was hot. How couldn't you fall for someone like that? Justin's like Vito except he has more than just abs." said Anne Maria.

"You know, I could've told you about Justin in advance." said Izzy.

"How? You two know each other?" asked Anne Maria.

"Yeah, I dated him." said Izzy.

"He dated your crazy ass?" asked Anne Maria.

"Yep. I broke up with him when I found out that he was a liar. And I hate liars." said Izzy.

"That would've been nice to know when I was on that stupid island." Anne Maria said bitterly.

"One last question. If you could go back in time and compete on the show again, what would you do differently?" asked Geoff.

"Stay the hell away from Justin, that's for damn sure." said Anne Maria.

"Well Anne Maria, thank you for answering our questions. Now, our next guest is a Gen 1 All-Star and is someone you know very well, Anne Maria." said Bridgette.

"This All-Star is mainly known for his good looks and…that's pretty much it." said Geoff.

"And looking at himself in the mirror constantly." said Bridgette.

"That too. He didn't do very well in Island, but he did quite a bit better in Action, lasting halfway through the competition. But in All-Stars, it was a different story." said Geoff.

"He spent most of his time sucking face with Anne Maria, not bothering to participate when his team needed him." said Bridgette.

"But the final nail in the coffin was when he straight up abandoned his team in 'The Hunters and The Huntees', choosing to tan instead of helping his team win." said Geoff.

"He has a deal with multiple modeling agencies and is a member of The Drama Brothers. Please welcome, Justin!" said Bridgette.

Justin walked onto the stage, getting booed by the audience, and was frightened when he saw Anne Maria's glare. He sat down and tried to avoid eye contact with Anne Maria.

"Justin, welcome to Aftermath. How's it going, dude?" asked Geoff.

"Fine. It could be better. I could still be on the show right now instead of sitting next to my angry ex-fling." Justin said as Anne Maria growled at him.

"So, Justin, you and Anne Maria, how did it happen? We've already heard Anne Maria's side, it's time to hear yours." said Bridgette.

"Well, I was busy admiring myself in the mirror, as I usually do, when I noticed Anne Maria looking at me and I knew she was infatuated with me, and I was admittedly attracted to her. After that, we became an unofficial thing, making out whenever we could." said Justin.

"Kind of reminds me of two people we know." said Trent, referencing Geoff and Bridgette's non-stop makeout sessions.

"But then Justin threw all it away when he got me eliminated." said Anne Maria.

"Very true. It turned out that if Justin voted for someone else, there would've been a tie. But instead of doing that, he chose to save his own butt." said Izzy.

"Which didn't mean anything since he got voted off the next day." said Eva.

"And he got 10 votes to 1, which is one of the most brutal ratios in Total Drama history." said Geoff.

"Look, tie or no tie, I would've broken things off with Anne Maria anyway. She was nice to kiss but that's about it." said Justin.

"That's pretty cold, man." said Trent.

"Yeah, Justin. That's not cool." said Katie.

"So not cool." said Sadie.

"Whatever. I have no regrets." said Justin.

"Okay, dudes and dudettes, let's move on from this. Justin, how do you feel about your former team, Team Villainy?" asked Geoff.

"Team Villainy sucked. We all hated each other and none of us wanted to be around each other. But the only thing we hated more than each other was losing, so we had to be dominant. And it felt good to win until we started losing." said Justin.

"And the losing happened because of you." said Anne Maria.

"Actually, it was because of you." Justin fired back.

"Was not." said Anne Maria.

"Was so." said Justin.

Justin and Anne Maria played the blame game for about 15 seconds, which was 15 seconds too long for Eva, who stopped the pointless arguing with a scream.

"Can you two shut it already?! You're both here! You both screwed up! END OF STORY!" Eva yelled, scaring everyone around her, with Izzy being the sole exception.

"Thank you for that, Eva. Justin, are you jealous of Alejandro?" asked Bridgette.

"Pass." said Justin.

"He totally is." Izzy muttered to Eva, who nodded in response.

"Okay, last question, if you were to go back in time and compete on the show again, what would you do differently?" asked Geoff.

"Easy, ignore Anne Maria and make some allies, so I don't get booted so early." said Justin.

"Well, Justin, thanks for answering our questions. And now we have our final guest to interview this episode." said Bridgette.

"She's not only a Gen 1 All-Star but she actually won Total Drama Action, beating Duncan to win the million. She may not have competed on World Tour, but one would think she would've done well in All-Stars." said Geoff.

"But that wasn't the case, as she made a mistake that would eventually lead her to leave the show." said Bridgette.

"A mistake that cost Sam the chance at $5 million because she didn't want to take responsibility." said Geoff.

"And a mistake that no doubt ruined John's taste buds." said Bridgette.

"She used to wear braces and was the 1st contestant introduced in Total Drama. Please welcome, Beth!" said Geoff.

Beth nervously walked onto the stage, receiving a tepid response from the audience, before sitting down.

"Beth, welcome to Aftermath. How are you feeling?" asked Bridgette.

"Not great." said Beth.

"Well, Beth I-" Geoff said before Beth stopped him.

"Wait. Before you ask me any questions, there's something I promised I would do when I got here." said Beth.

"Okay. Go ahead." said Geoff.

Beth went up to Sam and said, "Sam, I want you to know that I'm really sorry for what I did. I sabotaged our team, and I should've just told the truth. But instead, I blamed you out of panic and got you eliminated. I felt awful about it and after talking with Dawn, I knew leaving the show was the right thing to do." said Beth.

"Beth, I can't stay mad at you. You made a mistake, and you owned up to it. Plus, you only did it out of panic, so it's not like you did it out of malice." said Sam.

"I was malicious towards Courtney after what she did to Tyler. I wanted revenge and I ended up costing us both the game. I feel like such an idiot. Can you forgive me?" asked Beth.

"I forgive you, Beth. Water under the bridge." said Sam.

The audience cheered at this development, while Blaineley scoffed.

"Well, we're glad to see this issue resolved and not escalate any further. Beth, are you ready for your questions?" asked Bridgette.

"I'm ready." Beth said as she sat back down in her spot.

"So, with the ice cream incident, why vinegar?" asked Bridgette.

"Because vinegar smells bad, and I thought it would ruin Team Villainy's ice cream. But it ended up ruining Heroism's ice cream instead, all because I didn't close the stupid bottle." said Beth.

"Why did it take so long for you to say something? I'm sure your team would understand." asked Geoff.

"Because I was worried that they would turn on me. It would've been like Season 1 all over again when I got that tiki idol from Boney Island. I didn't want to go through that again." said Beth.

"Okay. What are your thoughts on Courtney now?" asked Bridgette.

"I still think she's super mean and bossy but she's not as bad as she was before." said Beth.

"I think Scott is actually helping her be a better person. Never thought I'd say that." said Mike.

"Me neither." said Sam.

"And finally, if you were to go back in time and compete on the show again, what would you do differently?" asked Geoff.

"Be more honest, that's for sure. And not let my emotions get the better of me." said Beth.

"Good answer. Now, there's one more question we need to ask the 7 of you." said Geoff.

"And that would be?" asked Justin.

"Out of the 18 All-Stars left in the competition, who do you think is going to win? Mike, let's start with you." said Bridgette.

"I know it's a cheap answer but I'm going with Zoey. Yes, she's my girlfriend so I'm a bit biased but she is incredibly skilled, and I think she has what it takes to make it to the end. But if Zoey doesn't win, I'd be fine with Cameron, Brick, or Dawn winning." said Mike.

"Lindsay?" asked Geoff.

"I think I'm going with Owen. He did win the 1st season and it would be poetic if he won the All-Star season." said Lindsay.

"Wow, I didn't think about that. Tyler?" asked Bridgette.

"I don't like either of these guys, but I think it's going to be between Alejandro and Duncan." said Tyler.

"Sam?" asked Geoff.

"It's hard to choose 1 person but as long as any of my friends win (Zoey, Cameron, Brick, and Dawn), I'm happy." said Sam.

"Anne Maria?" asked Bridgette.

"I don't know. Alejandro, I guess." said Anne Maria.

"Justin?" asked Geoff.

"I'm going with Courtney. I know she's determined to win." said Justin.

"Beth?" asked Bridgette.

"For me, I'm going with either Duncan or Owen." said Beth.

"Interesting choices. Surprising that there was no mention of Heather." said Geoff.

"Why would anyone want her to win again?" asked Beth.

"Next to Duncan, she is the strongest player on the show, and she never received her $1 million due to it being thrown in a volcano. Say what you want about her, but she earned that money and got robbed. She's definitely going to use that as fuel to win again." said DJ.

"Couldn't agree with you more, Deej. Plus, there are other strong contenders like Gwen, Scott, Lightning, Jo, and Cameron. And we may see an unexpected winner like Dawn, Noah, Cody, or Harold. It's going to be fun watching this season play out." said Geoff.

"You can say that again. Well, it looks like we're out of time. Next time you'll see us, we'll be at the halfway point in the competition, as only 12 will remain in the game, meaning we'll be having 6 new guests will join us right here on the Aftermath show." said Bridgette.

"Who will those 6 guests be? You'll have to find out by watching Total Drama All-Stars. See you next time dudes." Geoff said before the screen faded to black.

Hope you enjoyed the chapter. Writing this chapter was weird because it was so different from all the others, but I enjoyed it. I consider this to be the end of Act 1, as I structured the story to have 5 sections (Act 1, Act 2, Act 3, Endgame, and Finale). The next Aftermath episode will be Chapter 16, when 12 All-Stars remain, and the merge happens. The actual next chapter will have an original challenge, which will be based on a popular horror series, and be the start of Act 2 so stay tuned. Other than that, I hope you all have a wonderful day. Bye for now and stay safe.
