"Last season on Total Drama Island…" Chris began the recap, this time on a film set. Loveable glutton Owen and Lonely goth Gwen battled it out for $100,000. In the end, Owen, a super-sized guy, won a super-sized check. But decided to compete again one million big ones on top of his ! With the million smackeroos stuffed into a briefcase, our twenty-two campers set off on The Race for the Case! Until the case was eaten by an alligator. Then a shark. I bet you they didn't see that one coming. Haha. Now the seventeen who were the closest to winning have been given the chance to win another million dollars. Actually, it's the same money. They've been instructed to report to an old film lot for a whole new set of challenges. Forty-two days. Seventeen cast mates. One heck of a lot of cash! Welcome to Total. Drama. Action!" he finished the recap.
(Theme song, Changes: Eva and Tyler are there arm wrestling in the table where DJ and Chef were cooking the food and Noah is relaxing in the sun instead of Beth who is buried in the sand with her head sticking out. Courtney doesn't appear until her debut.)
Cut to the entrance of a film lot when the bus carrying the seventeen contestants arrived. "Man, I miss the smell of the city." Duncan said as she smelled the air and got off.
"Ah yes, polluted air, my favorite." Noah sarcastically said as he got off as well.
"Woohoo! Who's ready for season two!" Owen said as he jumped off the bus and accidentally landed on Noah, crushing him.
"Any air would be good now…" Noah complained while he was being sat on by Owen.
"Oops, sorry buddy." Owen chuckled as he got off.
"Aye-aye-aye!" Izzy yelled as she jumped off the bus as well, crushing Noah.
"My spine can't take any more of this!" Noah complained.
"Actually, your ribcage is more likely to be damaged by this." Harold said while holding a rubix cube as he got out of the bus after Leshawna.
"Wow, did I ask?" Noah sarcastically replied as he got up and dusted off his sweater.
Heather, who was wearing a wig, and Gwen tried to exit at the same time but they got stuck in the doorway. "Step off." Heather angrily told Gwen.
"You step off." Gwen replied.
"Grr…" Heather and Gwen growled at each other.
"Shut up and get out of my way!" Eva said as she shoved the two off the bus while she got out of it, causing them to crash into Harold, knocking him into the ground.
"Ow! Sorry, Leshawna." Harold apologized as he landed next to Leshawna.
"No harm done." Leshawna replied.
"Gwen! Are you okay?" Trent asked as he got off.
"Yeah, I'm fine, thanks." Gwen said as she got up.
"Hey Eva! It's so awesome that you're here, now that all four of us are here, E-Scope's team will be unbeatable!" Izzy said.
"E-Scope's team?" Eva questioned.
"Watch your temper, don't want to be immediately booted again don't you?" Noah warned.
"...Thanks for the advice. I've been working on that, I won't be as upset unless someone really ticks me off." Eva replied.
"Where is that psycho host? He's still not here." Leshawna asked.
"Uh, maybe we got off at the wrong stop?" Gwen replied.
"That broken down bus only had one stop." Justin said as he got off.
"I'm not hanging around here." Heather angrily replied.
"You're gonna give up the chance at a million big ones? Heh, that's a lot of hair weaves." Leshawna mocked.
"Guess I can stay for a bit." Heather said as she noticed her wig fell off and put it back on.
"Face it. The money's the reason we all put up with Chris." Beth said as she got off.
"Beth, you got your braces off! Nice!" Trent said.
"I went to the dentist during the short break between seasons." Beth replied.
"Hot as ever." Justin said as he flirted with Beth but was then pulled away by Leshawna.
"You look fi-i-ine, girl!" Leshawna told Beth.
"You really do!" Gwen agreed.
"You are totally on your way to looking the part of my new BFF. That's my new best French friend. I am so moving to France when I win." Lindsay said as she got off.
"My mom said my world would totally open up when I got my braces off! She was right! I'm going to France!" Beth said.
"Yay!" Lindsay and Beth squealed.
"Whoo!" Tyler said as he jumped off the bus and ended up falling into the ground.
"Aww, poor Tyson." Lindsay said.
"Tyler! It's Tyler!" Tyler said while laying on the ground.
Geoff and Bridgette got out of the bus while making out. "Don't you guys get tired of doing that all the time? You kissed the entire time on the bus!" DJ said as he got off the bus while it left.
Suddenly Chris arrived in a tour cart. "Dude, it's about time!" Duncan said.
"Hop on, everyone! Come on, people! Sheesh, we haven't got all day! This cart's rented by the hour!" Chris said as everyone but Izzy got on. He drove the car away before Izzy got on.
Suddenly Owen noticed Izzy didn't get on. "Izzy! Run!" Owen yelled as the cart rode away. Izzy heard him but didn't respond.
"Remember what weird thing she wants to be called?" Noah told Owen.
"Oh! I mean Kaleidoscope!" Owen said.
"No one leaves E-Scope behind!" Izzy yelled, ran toward the bus and jumped in it.
"Welcome to the set of Total. Drama. Action! This season's hottest reality show will be shot here, on an abandoned film lot." Chris said as they went around the film lot.
"Does this mean we're gonna be in the movies?" Lindsay asked.
"No. It means you're gonna be on TV. And don't interrupt me! Ever!" Chris replied and bopped Lindsay's nose.
"Oops. Sorry." Lindsay apologized.
"You'll be spending the next six weeks here, competing against each other in challenges, and for rewards. All for the chance to win some monster cash!" Chris continued explaining.
"Yeah, baby! I'm gonna win me some moolah!" Owen said as he excitedly rubbed his hands together.
"Shush! Like last season, one team will win, and one team will watch one of their own make their way down the dreaded Walk of Shame to the Lame-O-Sine." Chris said as they passed by a limousine that spewed dust, making everyone but Chris, who closed the windows in his part, cough.
"Couldn't you have spun for a better ride?" Trent asked.
"No. Now, since we don't have the outhouse to dump your deepest darkest secrets in, you'll ditch the dirt in our new makeup confessional!" Chris replied.
Confessional: Lindsay
"Oh my gosh. A whole trailer full of makeup?! Oh, sorry, I don't use that brand." Lindsay said as an intern offered her lipstick from behind the curtains.
"To your left is the Craft Services Tent. Catered by Chef." Chris said as they arrived at a tent.
"Get back here you pesky rat!" Chris said as he chased a racoon out of the tent with a pan.
"If you survive Chef, you'll have to make it through our dramatic awards ceremony! Where all but one loser will receive a Gilded Chris Award!" Chris said as they passed by a giant award stage.
Confessional :Gwen
"The Gilded Chris? Ha. What a narcissist! Don't get me wrong, I still want one." Gwen said.
"We done now, dude?" Geoff asked.
"I have an eject button. And I'll use it." Chris replied.
"Please. Continue." Geoff replied.
"Whoa. Cool. Is this a dream?" Harold said as they went into a space set.
"No, Harold! It is not! But you may soon wish it was. A few months ago, this lot was home to a high-budget monster movie. Until the star began experiencing some... ah, uh, difficulties?" Chris replied.
"Oh no. Did she have like, a mental breakdown?" Lindsay asked.
"Actually, the star wasn't a her. It was an animatronic monster!" Chris replied.
"What happened to it?" Gwen asked.
Confessional: Gwen
"In retrospect, I probably shouldn't have asked that question." Gwen sighed.
"Come on, dudes. He's yanking our chains." Duncan said as suddenly a giant tail slammed in front of them, blocking their path.
"Whoa!" Trent gasped.
"Dude!" Geoff said as DJ screamed.
"Since we're on a film lot, this season's challenges will be based on movie genres. Today's genre? The monster movie! Duh." Chris said.
"Uh. Uh." DJ said as he collapsed.
"Down for the count. For your first challenge, everyone must get from here to the cast trailers while our state-of-the-art monster prevents your every move. Chef has kindly offered to control the beast." Chris said as Chef was shown controlling the monster with a mocap suit. "And... action!" he said but no one moved. "Uh... that means go." Chris said as everyone started arguing in the bus.
"Me first!" Heather said as she tried to get out.
"Out of my way!" Trent said as he threw Heather away.
"Move already!" Eva said as she punched Trent.
"Hi-yah!" Harold said as he hit Eva with a karate chop.
"Move it or lose it!" Duncan said as he threw Harold outside the bus.
"Ah!" Harold said as he crashed into a garbage can outside.
"This is gonna be a long season." Chris sighed as Harold ran past him.
Cut to everyone running in a beach. "Whoa, baby! Did you see that?! That thing is so cool!" Owen said.
"Don't be distracted and run!" Noah told him.
Cut to DJ. "I can almost hear your sweet lullabies, mama." DJ whined as Chris patted him.
"There, there, big guy. Now are you gonna do the challenge?" Chris asked.
"Huh? Oh right!" DJ said and ran away.
Cut to the beach when Owen and Noah saw the monster about to catch Izzy. "Izzy, duck! Duck!" Owen yelled.
"Goose!" Izzy yelled as the monster hit her, launching her into a crane. "Whee! Yeah! Haha. Do it again!" she laughed as Owen and Noah looked shocked. The monster caught her and dropped her into a bouncy house. "Whoo, yeah!" she laughed as she jumped on the bouncy house.
Confessional: Owen & Noah
"Maybe the monster won't look for us in here. I love Izzy. Not like "love" love. But I think she's amazing. I just wish she'd notice me and not that dumb monster. How can I compete with it?! Sure, we're both big and we both eat a lot. But it's really tall. What do you think I should do, little buddy?" Owen asked.
"Why are you asking me? Do I look like a romance expert? How should I know what you should do about your weird monster love triangle?" Noah asked.
Cut to Geoff and Bridgette kissing under an umbrella while Gwen and Trent passed by them "How are we supposed to find the actor's trailers anyway?" Gwen asked.
"Follow the good looking people!" Justin replied as he ran past.
"Yeah! Follow Justin!" Beth said as she followed Justin. Gwen and Trent shrugged and followed them.
"Um, I don't think this is the kind of action Chris had in mind." Duncan said as he passed by and saw Geoff and Bridgette making out.
Confessional: Bridgette
"What was I thinking? Duncan is so right. I like Geoff, but hello, I also like a million bucks."
Confessional: Geoff
"Duncan's right. It's time to get our heads in the game. Booyah!"
Confessional: Geoff & Bridgette
Geoff and Bridgette were making out.
"Come on guys, get a move on!" Duncan said as he stopped Bridgette and Geoff from making out. However the monster caught all three as he did this.
"This is it. The end!" Bridgette yelled while being held by the monster alongside Geoff and Duncan.
"At least we're together baby." Geoff replied as the monster dropped them into the bouncy castle.
"I love you!" Bridgette yelled as she bounced.
"I love you too!" Geoff yelled back as he bounced.
"You two make me sick." Duncan complained as he bounced
Confessional: Duncan
"Should've just left them." Duncan sighed.
Cut to Gwen and Trent running in the city set. "This challenge isn't so bad. What, no explosions? No burning buildings? No bears?" Gwen asked.
"Maybe it's not in the budget." Trent replied when suddenly a building exploded and another one burnt down, showing that a bear was in it.
"Ah!" Gwen and Trent yelled as they ran away while the bear chased them.
Cut to Chris and Chef in his mocap suit in a security room. "I thought the bear was tranquilized and returned to its handler." Chris told Chef.
"Had one day left on its contract." Chef replied.
"Nice!" Chris chuckled.
Cut to the city set where Tyler was running. "Okay, big monster chasing me, I can do this." Tyler said to himself but was distracted and ran into a building.
"Wow. Just wow." Chef said in the control room as he made the monster grab him and drop him into the bouncy house.
Cut to Leshawna running on the beach when she suddenly saw Harold hiding under an umbrella. "Come on, string bean! I hope you can run! We've got a challenge to win!" Leshawna said as she pulled Harold out of the umbrella and the two started running.
"If I wanted to, I could run as fast as a prong-horned antelope. It's the fastest land mammal after the cheetah." Harold replies when suddenly the monster roared at them, blowing them into the ground as the monster caught them.
"Easy now! This booty is breakable!" Leshawna told the monster as it dropped them into the bouncy castle.
"I love you!" Harold said as he bounced.
"Say what now?" Leshawna asked as she bounced.
Cut to Trent and Gwen running when they saw the monster and turned around and ran the opposite direction. Justin was running as well but didn't notice the monster, allowing him to be caught. "Yo." Justin told the monster while being held by it as it looked charmed.
"What? Wouldn't wanna ruin the kid's dreams." Chef told Chris in the security room.
Confessional: Justin
"I'm not just another gorgeous face. and abs, and butt, and shoulders, okay? I'm also a master strategist. And this year, I'm in it to win it." Justin explained.
Cut to the monster putting Justin in the bouncy castle softly while he gave a thumbs up. "What are you all staring at?" Justin asked when he saw Leshawna, Tyler, Bridgette and Geoff looking at him.
"You." They all replied.
"Oh. Right." Justin chuckled.
Cut to Heather running away from the monster in the city set while holding her wig in place. "You tell her, we don't like her!" Lindsay clapped as she popped out of a bush, however the monster caught her alongside Heather due to this.
"I'll miss you, Lindsay!" Beth said as she came to the city set while Lindsay waved at her as she was being held at the monster.
"Ahh!" Lindsay grunted as the monster dropped her and Heather into the cage.
"Excuse me! I think you forgot something!" Heather yelled as she noticed her wig was gone. The monster replied by dropping her wig into the castle. "That's better." she said as she put it on.
Cut to Beth, DJ, Eva, Gwen and Trent running away from the monster in the city set while screaming. "Everyone, follow me!" Trent said as he opened a door to a building while Beth, Eva and Gwen went in.
Confessional: Gwen
"That's what makes Trent such a great boyfriend. He's always thinking of others. It's one of the things I love about him." Gwen said.
"Ah! Monster's coming near!" DJ said, too scared to move.
"It's okay, big guy. I got you." Trent said as he pulled DJ into the door while he went in himself and closed it. "Oof! You mean, everything around here is fake?" Trent said as they saw they weren't in a building and it was just cardboard.
Confessional: Gwen
"That and Trent's exceptional powers of observation." Gwen said.
The monster roared and picked all five up as Gwen screamed. "I'm comin', Lindsay!" Beth yelled as it dropped them into the bouncy castle.
"I'm here for you, babe!" Trent said as he bounced.
Meanwhile, back at the cardboard building, Noah and Owen were hiding under a cardboard car. "Heh, suckers." Noah chuckled.
"Boy, am I ever glad I'm not them." Owen said when they suddenly looked up to see the monster glaring at them. "I'm gonna die!" he yelled as the monster extended itss hand toward him and Noah.
Cut to after some time. Owen was still under the car but Noah wasn't there. "Ah! Ah! Ahh! I'm okay? I'm okay! Yeah, baby! Time to find those cast trailers!" Owen said and tried to run but couldn't due to exhaustion. "Aw. I can't... run… any… more. Take… me... I surr… ender." he said as he saw the monster and collapsed.
"Kid really needs to lay off those cheese puffs." Chef said in the control room as he made the monster grab Owen. However, he was too heavy and the monster couldn't carry him.
"Huh?" Owen said as the monster started glitching.
Confessional: Owen
"Boy, am I ever glad that I didn't go on that diet! Being big can really have its advantages. You know, like, when you're trying not to uh, uh, be captured by an animatronic monster, for example. That's just off the top of my head." Owen chuckled.
"Come on... come on!" Chef struggled in the control room trying to lift Owen but couldn't and ended up dropping him.
"Yes! I'm too heavy! I win! I win!" Owen said as he grabbed his belly.
"Not yet, Owen, my man. You still have to find the trailers." Chris said as he came.
"Aw, man." Owen sighed and started walking.
Cut to the next day when everyone was asleep, still in the bouncy castle when Chris woke them up with a megaphone as Owen came to the bouncy castle. "Oh…" Owen said as he collapsed.
"It took you ten and a half hours to walk three city blocks?" Eva asked.
"That's just sad, man." DJ said as Owen pulled out a needle and popped the castle, freeing them.
"How come no one thought of doing that last night?" Duncan asked.
"Wait. Where's Izzy?" Leshawna asked as suddenly the monster came and put her into the ground while accidentally stepping on a trailer.
"Thanks for the date, baby! Don't ever leave me! 'Cause I'd find you." Izzy said as the monster left while Owen looked jealous.
"How did you manage to escape?" Duncan asked.
"Monster and I had a romantic date. He doesn't take no for an answer. Mhm. Pretty crazy. I can't even tell you guys." Izzy replied.
"Was it a date or something else that also doesn't make sense?" Noah asked.
"Whoa. Am I ever glad I chose to wait in that trailer. It looks like you all made it. Guess I lose the bet. That was just a warmup. Good news is, your next challenge is a reward." Chris said as he came out of the trailer that was not crushed while everyone cheered at the challenge being a reward. "It will be the boys against the girls, with the winner getting the first pick of the trailers, where you'll be living for the next forty-two days! You will have your choice of Trailer A, or Trailer... yeesh. Off to the Craft Services Tent!" he continued explaining.
"Aw, yeah, baby! I'm starving!" Owen cheered.
"I mean, we didn't eat anything after breakfast the entire day due to being stuck in the bouncy castle so for once that makes sense." Noah sarcastically said.
Confessional: Owen & Noah
"My mom says I eat when I'm upset. And happy. And tired. Not to mention bored, gassy, morose, joyous, comatose, semi-conscious, avuncular. Avuncular." Owen chuckled as he randomly grew a beard.
"Just say I eat all the time." Noah said as Owen chuckled.
Cut to inside the craft services tent where a giant buffet was on the table. "Woohoo! This is awesome!" Owen cheered.
"This chow looks like something out of a commercial!" Geoff said.
"Ooh, can I star?" Lindsay asked.
"It's not an existing commercial, brainiac." Noah sarcastically said.
"Let's get this speed-eating contest started! On your marks, get set, come to papa!" Owen said as he jumped on the table and started eating the buffet.
"No, wait!" Chris yelled as Owen ate the food.
"Oh! Is this veal? It must be veal! I've never tasted anything like this!" Owen said as he ate the food.
Cut to after Owen finished all the food. "Owen, my man of many appetites. How was it?" Chris asked as Owen laid on the table.
"The turkey was a bit... dry." Owen said.
"Not surprising, since the food was fake!" Chris replied.
"Fake?" Owen asked.
"Yep, just props made from foam core, silicone, sawdust, and wax. It wasn't a speed-eating contest. It was a contest to find the key." Chris said.
"What key? Oh, you mean this key?" Owen asked as he spat out the key.
"That'd be the one." Chris said.
"Does this mean I win?!" Owen asked.
"Yes. Yes, it does." Chris replied.
"All right!" Owen cheered.
Confessional: Duncan
"Did you see that? The dude ate foam core and wax! Full props for that, man." Duncan laughed.
Confessional: Noah
"Wow. Just wow. I don't know whether to be impressed or to be concerned." Noah said.
Confessional: Geoff
"Way to find the key, dude! I used to think Owen was just some party dude, but he's really a stand-up guy. Party on!" Geoff cheered.
Confessional: Harold
"I could've done that, you know. I just wasn't hungry." Harold said.
Confessional: Leshawna
"Know what that boy has? Guts. Guts full of foam core and rubber. But guts just the same."
Confessional: Owen
"Oh wait, wait, wait. There's still one more." Owen said as he spat out a piece of foam.
Cut to Chef offering medicine to Owen. "Guh, ugh... Oh, don't worry. I'm cool. Hahaha. My mom says I've got a gut like a goat." Owen said when his stomach suddenly started rumbling. "Nope. Call 911." he said as he heard his stomach.
"You're gonna need it. Since you're the winner, you get first pick of the trailers." Chris said as the guys cheered while the girls sighed.
Cut to everyone in front of the trailers. "I choose the squashed one!" Owen said as the guys complained while the girls cheered. "What? It has more character." he explained as the monster stepped on the other trailer.
"Aw…" The girls sighed.
Meanwhile in the security room Chef was controlling the monster while Chris was next to him. "Oh!" Chris chuckled as he laughed with Chef.
Confessional: Izzy
"Ha, I am so over that monster." Izzy said.
Cut to the night as everyone entered the now fixed trailers. "Okay, everyone! Get a good night's sleep because you've got a seriously early wake-up call. Call time is six a.m. Sleep quickly!" Chris said.
Cut to the guys trailer. "I'll take the top." Harold said as he chose a bed.
"I call the bottom." Geoff said as he took a bed as well.
"Mine." Trent and Tyler said as they pointed at some beds.
"I take top, you take bottom." Noah said as he chose beds for himself and Owen.
"Yes sir!" Owen replied.
"I'll take the top." DJ said as he chose a bed.
"Oh, yeah, that's the stuff." Duncan said as he laid on a bed.
"Nice, I get a bunk to myself." Justin said as he chose a bed.
Cut to the girls trailer. "I need to sleep on the east side so my head will be closer to the ocean." Heather said.
"That's the dumbest thing I've ever heard. We're in Toronto. We're nowhere near the ocean." Leshawna replied.
"Then maybe I don't wanna lay my pretty head near this big-butted, loudmouthed, mall-shopping–" Heather began to insult but was then interrupted.
"And maybe I don't wanna sleep near a two-faced, bossy little string bean of a prom queen!" Leshawna angrily said.
"Girls! You heard Chris, we need to be on set by six a.m.?" Bridgette said.
"Worried we might cut into your early morning make out session?" Leshawna mocked as she imitated Bridgette and Geoff's Gwen.
"Yes! Kind of. Gwen? Eva?" Bridgette asked.
"No way." Gwen said.
"Leave me out of this." Eva said.
"Heather's meanness might leech down while I'm sleeping." Lindsay said.
"Is meanness contagious?" Beth gasped.
"Totally. Besides, I'm bunking with my new BFF. My Beth friend forever." Lindsay said.
"Aww." Beth awed.
"Fine. We'll draw straws." Bridgette said.
"Who's got straws?" Leshawna asked.
"We can use makeup brushes instead!" Lindsay said as Beth went to get some.
"That's actually a good idea." Gwen said.
"Longer ones get the top bunks. Shorter ones, the bottom. Shortest of all gets to sleep with Heather." Beth said as she came with some brushes as Heather growled at her while everyone took some brushes except her.
"Yes! Top bunk!" Lindsay said as she looked at her brush.
"I got bottom! I call Lindsay." Beth said.
"I call Beth right back!" Lindsay said as they ran to a bed.
"I got bottom. Gwen?" Bridgette asked.
"I got top. Sure." Gwen said as they chose a bed.
"I got bottom." Eva said.
"I'm a top!" Izzy said as they chose a bed.
"Ugh, I got the shortest?" Leshawna said as she looked at her brush.
"You mean, I get to sleep with Leshawna? Wow. Great." Heather sighed.
"Hey, I'm not excited about this either." Leshawna said.
"Yeah, sorry about this." Gwen apologized to Leshawna.
"Ugh." Heather complained as they chose a bed.
Cut to outside the trailers. "Shh. They're sleeping. This is your five a.m. wake up call!" Chris said as he popped up behind a trailer and woke everyone up with his megaphone. "I'm only kidding. You can sleep. For now." he said as everyone complained. "That's a wrap on day one. How will Owen fare with a stomach full of foam core and sawdust? What will tomorrow hold for Gwen and Trent? Who knows what drama is in store for our cast? Well, I do. But I ain't tellin'. See you next time for another thrilling episode of Total. Drama. Action! McLean out." he finished the episode as the monster roared. "Can someone please put a wrap on that monster?!" he complained as the episode ended.

Justin's Confessional
Confessional: Justin
"Last year, I wasn't really a contender. But this year? This year will be different. I may be a pretty boy on the outside, but in here, there's a man filled with rage who's in this thing to win, and mark my words, I will stop at nothing. So no one better stand in my way 'cause I will make sure they don't... uh, stand in my way for long! Well, unless my face gets horribly disfigured again, since if that happens I can't stay any longer, my modeling contract is important. M'kay? Ah. Perfection." Justin said as an intern handed a mirror to him from behind the curtain and he looked at himself with it.
Pre-Teams: Beth, Bridgette, DJ, Duncan, Eva, Geoff, Gwen, Harold, Heather, Izzy, Justin, Leshawna, Lindsay, Noah, Owen, Trent, Tyler
