Yo yo! What's up playas? So this is different from my main story (at the time of publishing this), TDWTV2, but honestly I'm using this to break up the monotony of writing that. It's nice to write, but man I need a mental break.
This series has been done before by other writers but yk what? I wanna do it my own way and detail my own stories and theories of what would happen if these scenarios had actually happened.
These scenarios include (but are not limited to):
Reality 42-C: What if Duncan never quit World Tour?
Reality ZA.3_1: What if Noah actually utilized his schemer stereotype in Island?
Reality T9E: What if Mal was never the antagonist of All-Stars?
And many more!
Any suggestions will be greatly appreciated because quite frankly, I'm already running a little low on ideas. I have a few more but some of them are more fully speculative (What if the PI cast was included in ROTI cast, What if the gen 2 and 3 casts were each given a second season) so I'd rather use smaller blips. Ironic considering the first scenario is a literal entire reimagining of World Tour. Lmao. Anyways.
Without further ado, let's look at the first AR involving one of my top 5 characters and my favorite season:
What if Duncan never quit Total Drama World Tour?
The day had been less than splendid for Duncan, to put it lightly. Listening to Courtney and Gwen lose their minds on top of the Great Pyramid of Giza, along with having to a sing a song and climb that pyramid in 113 degree heat was not doing anything good for the delinquent. Not a good day to wear long sleeves, a black shirt, and long jorts, eh?
"I'm telling you, we need to untie!" Gwen shouted at Courtney.
"And I'm telling you it's unsafe!" Courtney retorted. "I'm in charge and-"
"Ohhhhhh kidssssss!" Chris called from his megaphone, getting their attention. A ding-ding sound effect played. "Recognize that sound? Time for whoever's not finished yet to give us a little musical reprise!"
Duncan's face quickly dropped into a harsh glare. "You said one song per episode!"
"Yea, and this is a reprise, not a new song!" Chris clarified. "So if you don't sing, you're out! So let's hear it."
"You know what? No." Duncan spat.
The delinquent hopped down each block of the pyramid with a defiant "No" on each step, unintentionally smacking Gwen and Courtney against the pyramid as he went.
"Three hours of these two squawking on this stupid pyramid in this stupid heat, and you want me to sing? Forget it!"
"Dude, you have a contract." Chris reminded him.
"Eat it McLean." Duncan sneered, whipping out his knife. "If you need me, I'll be in the plane waiting for a ride home, cuz I'm out. Done. I QUIT!"
Courtney and Gwen both gasped at Duncan sliced through the rope that bound the three and made his way towards the plane. The two girls shared a quick glance before springing into action.
"Wait!" They yelled in unison.
Duncan stopped in his tracks and whipped his head around, his body seething in rage. Gwen quickly ran up to him while Courtney went over to argue to Chris.
"Dude, are you seriously about to throw away a million bucks?" Gwen incredulously asked the punk.
"He lied dude, I don't mess with liars." Duncan nonchalantly explained, making a move to turn around.
"Yea, sure, but it's a million dollars." Gwen reminded. "Even you're not that dumb."
Duncan leveled his glare towards Gwen. "Don't push me Pasty."
Gwen merely rolled her eyes in response. "Whatever, if you wanna lose a million bucks, that's not my problem." She turned away and walked back towards Chris and Courtney, who were in a one-sided shouting match. Guess which one side was yelling.
"We had just finished, that's not fair!" Courtney screamed, up in Chris' face.
"My show, my rules." Chris shrugged. "If Dunky McQuittyPants wants to give up on the game, that's not my problem. If anything, you should go thank him, that's one less person standing between you and a million smackaroonies."
"Yea, Courtney, what gives?" Heather yelled. "There's no reason that Duncan should be allowed to keep competing."
"Because it's a stupid technicality!" A flustered Courtney yelled back. "Duncan needs to be let back in, now."
"Your threats don't really concern me." Chris brushed off. "Duncan's out, decision's final."
"You will be ducking lawsuits for years if you do this McLean." Courtney warned, shaking her fist at the host.
Chris simply shrugged again. "Whatever, we get more lawsuits a day than any other show on TV. I think our lawyers could deal with you, especially after last time."
Courtney, completely flabbergasted, mimed strangling the host and went to walk off.
"Chris, can I remind you of something?" Gwen asked, garnering Chris and Courtney's attention.
"What ever might that be Gwennyth?" Chris smarmily asked.
Gwen glared at the host but quickly dropped it. "You know how ratings are your number one priority, right? Well, who here gets the best ratings of everyone?"
"Heather." Chris answered, jabbing a finger towards the Queen Bee.
"Obviously." Heather scoffed.
"Okay, well what about second?" Gwen asked, growing a little frustrated.
"Owen." Chris once again answered, pointing towards the fart machine who was currently laughing about something with Noah.
"Third, then! Who's third?" Gwen spat, now fully frustrated.
"Duncan..." Chris rubbed his chin in speculative thought, turning his attention to the punk who'd started walking back towards the cast.
"What?" Duncan flatly asked.
"I'll let you back in the game, if you agree to sing one song per episode." Chris offered.
Duncan mulled this over for a quick second. "No reprises?"
"One more and that's it." Chris assured him.
"Fine, whatever."
"Cool." Chris said. "Now that that's sorted, let's get some teams going. Courtney and Gwen, you're on Team 3 with Heather, Cody, and Izzy. Duncan, hmm." Chris stroked his chin, trying to make a decision. "Let's put you one Team 1. Gotta let you, Harold, and DJ go three for three on the team stuff, eh?"
Ezekiel suddenly clung onto Chris from the ground. "Come on guy, after all this you gotta let me back in the game." The homeschooler pleaded.
"Fine, but only because more contestants equals more drama equals more money for me." Chris shoved Ezekiel to ground. "Go join Team 2."
"Oh-ho-ho, yes!" Ezekiel cheered.
"Okay teams, talk amongst yourselves and determine a team name." Chris informed the group. "You have three minutes, while I enjoy this ice cream cone."
"Team Victory!" The members of Team 1 cried out. A golden emblem with a trophy in the center appeared overhead.
"Team Amazon!" The girls of Team 3 shouted, hoofing Cody in the nuts by accident as they did. A pink emblem with a woman's logo appeared overhead.
The guys of Team 2 struggled a bit more to come up with a name, until Sierra had something strike her. "Got it! Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot."
"What?" The rest of her team asked as a blue emblem with Chris' face plastered on it appeared overhead.
"Alright, best team name ever!" Chris smiled. "And here are your rewards. Team Amazon, you win a camel. Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Really Hot."
"I think there were only four really's." Alejandro interjected.
"You get a goat." The goat ran up and rammed Tyler, sending the jock flying. "And Team Victory, here you go."
Chris threw a stick at Harold, who caught it with his face.
"So the guys who came in last get a camel, and we get a stick?" Leshawna asked, anger appearing on her face.
"All will be explained." Chris assured her. "If I feel like it." He added, loving the disappointment he felt.
"Next time! Right here on Total! Drama! Worlddddddd Touuurrrrrrrr!"
The episode ended with the teams formed and a challenge on the way for the next episode.
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Izzy
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Ezekiel, Noah, Owen, Sierra, Tyler
Victory: Bridgette, DJ, Duncan, Harold, Leshawna, Lindsay
Eliminated:
The episode opened back in Egypt with the teams assembled and with their rewards. Chris announced that the second part of the challenge would be an expedition across the sandy deserts to the Nile river. Chris spilled some scarab beetles to kick their butts in gear for the challenge, as well as sing Lovin' Time.
Team Amazon were struggling with their position in the desert until Izzy was able to instruct the camel to bring them towards the Nile while Team Victory were fully lost in the desert when Harold snapped the stick, revealing it's true nature being a divining rod.
However, it was Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot who arrived at the Nile first, quickly getting to work basket-weaving a boat with Sierra's speed weaving.
Team Amazon arrived right after and, after some quick gushing over the men in their life, Chris allowed Izzy and Sierra to swap teams, leaving Team Chris with an incomplete boat and their powerhouse weaver gone.
Team Victory arrived soon after and all three teams completed their boat around the same time as one another. Team Chris took an early lead and, despite Harold puncturing the boat on accident, Team Victory started off in second. Alejandro, looking to taunt Team Amazon, told Izzy to speak to the camel, allowing Team Amazon to enter the race late.
Chris called for the final song to come out, a reprise called Rowin' Time, much to Duncan's ire. Nonetheless, the punk sang and all three teams crossed the finish line, with Team Amazon in first, Team Chris in second, and Team Victory in last.
Chris revealed that all were safe from the elimination if they brought over their reward, which they all did.
The episode ended with cheers and all contestants were announced as safe, for now...
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Ezekiel, Izzy, Noah, Owen, Tyler
Victory: Bridgette, DJ, Duncan, Harold, Leshawna, Lindsay
Eliminated:
The next challenge was located in Japan, filling Harold and Tyler with much glee. The cast were dropped out of the sky into a giant bowl of rice where Chris revealed the first part of the challenge.
That challenge was to play oversized pinball with a partner within the ball. Alejandro volunteered for Team Chris, Cody did the same but for specifically Gwen, though Sierra interpreted it as for her. Leshawna volunteered DJ for Team Victory.
Alejandro and DJ were given a panda to ride with while Cody won the prize of Sierra. Because of DJ's panda mauling him and Sierra's distracting of Cody, Team Chris took first place with ease, leaving Team Amazon in the bottom for the next challenge.
The next challenge was to create a commercial for Total Drama Yum Yum Happy Go Time Candy Fish Tails. Team Chris made a video about pacifying a monster with the fish tails, Team Victory's commercial was about a starving village using the fish tails to survive, and Team Amazon, with only Cody and Sierra focusing on the challenge, made a commercial that was an explosion of sound and color.
Chef, oddly enough, loved Team Amazon's video, giving them the win. He declared Team Victory the loser, calling their video sad and lame.
In Harold's depressed state, Alejandro was able to convince him that he should go out with pride, with Harold nodding solemnly.
At the elimination ceremony, it looked like DJ was set to take the drop for flubbing the line, until Harold committed seppuku with a light saber, sending himself flying backwards out the plane.
DJ: 5 (Bridgette, DJ, Duncan, Leshawna, Lindsay)
Harold: 1 (Harold)
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Ezekiel, Izzy, Noah, Owen, Tyler
Victory: Bridgette, DJ, Duncan, Leshawna, Lindsay
Eliminated: Harold
Yukon was next up on the World Tour for the teens, disappointing and freezing almost everyone aside from the Latin-ly warm Alejandro and the human insulator Owen.
The first challenge was to cross a semi-frozen lake to decide who's going to pull their team's dog sled.
This episode would mark the beginning of Alejandro's flirtatious efforts in the game, as he was able to "accidentally" kiss Bridgette on the frozen lake and make her flustered.
Courtney ended up pulling for Team Amazon much to Heather's glee while an upset DJ pulled for Victory and Tyler took the reigns for Team Chris. Interesting moments in the episode included DJ freezing his eyes shut with his tears and knocking a baby seal to its doom, along with Tyler saving Team Chris from certain death after Owen caused the bridge they were on to collapse.
The highlight of the episode was Alejandro and Bridgette waiting at a pole for their teams to arrive, where Alejandro convinced Bridgette to kiss him once more. Bridgette accepted but was tricked into kissing the pole instead, getting her tongue stuck to it.
In the end, Team Amazon lost and it looked like Heather was going to be heading home early until Chris revealed that Team Victory, the initial winners, were missing a member, and were thus heading back to another elimination.
Unfortunately, the tongue-tied Bridgette was unable to warn her team about Alejandro's shiftiness nor explain her actions, and the soulful surfer was given the boot.
Bridgette: 4 (DJ, Duncan, Leshawna, Lindsay)
DJ: 1 (Bridgette)
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Ezekiel, Izzy, Noah, Owen, Tyler
Victory: DJ, Duncan, Leshawna, Lindsay
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette
New York, New York! Lindsay was all too happy.
Some mildly funny occurrences happened, including Cody getting stuck within Lady Liberty's breasts, prompting Sierra to save the geek, and Alejandro slamming Owen down the fire escape in the Statue of Liberty's crown.
The second challenge was to bob for apples in Central Park. DJ, poor guy, kept getting ravaged by the creatures, leading to Duncan to take over for the big guy if only to spare him the suffering. Lindsay and Leshawna both smiled at the punk for this.
Tyler was able to retrieve the apple first for Team Chris and arrive first, but they were informed that Team Amazon, who'd arrived after them, were the winners. Alejandro, Ezekiel, and Tyler all demanded to know how this was possible while Owen took the apple out and began eating it, revealing that their cart had switched.
Alejandro facepalmed and went to retrieve a sleeping Noah, though his efforts were ultimately fruitless as Team Victory had already made it back.
Team Chris all zoned in on Noah who chuckled awkwardly until it was revealed that this was merely a reward challenge.
The teens were all safe, for now...
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Ezekiel, Izzy, Noah, Owen, Tyler
Victory: DJ, Duncan, Leshawna, Lindsay
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette
To say Owen was thrilled about their next destination would be an understatement. The fat boy began drooling as soon as Chris revealed that Germany was next up on their list.
Their first task was to sing a song about not being crushed by an avalanche. During this song, Alejandro started flirting with Leshawna while Lindsay finally remembered Tyler's name, causing the jock to scream in excitement and inadvertently kickstart an avalanche.
The actual first challenge was to pack a sausage full. Team Victory did so with ease thanks to Duncan and Leshawna's strict ordering, while Team Chris suffered an unexpected delay as Owen had eaten all the meat they were supposed to use. Chris declared Owen fit to ride though, so they were not out of it. Team Amazon, still in full disarray, were only able to form a meat snowboard.
Team Chris arrived first while Team Amazon took last, with Cody having to wear the penalty-hosen. The final challenge was Slap Slap Revolution, with 8 platforms and 3 representatives from Team Amazon and Chris, with only 2 from Team Victory. The matchups were as follows:
Alejandro vs. Cody
Heather vs. Owen
Noah vs. Leshawna
Duncan vs. Courtney
Alejandro quickly spin-slapped Cody off, the poor geek didn't stand a chance.
Owen, in a partial food coma from all the meat, was groggily fighting until a shock caused him to burp up a cooked sausage. Disgusted and woozy, he fell without a hit.
Noah slapped Leshawna pathetically. She returned the favor with a stiff kick to his abdomen, launching the bookworm into the snow with a pained groan.
In Chris' favorite match up, Duncan and Courtney went slap for slap with one another for some time. With Team Victory cheering him on and Duncan not content to allow Courtney to always have one up on him from the Prehistoric Movie challenge from the past season, Duncan grabbed a handful of Courtney's hair and yanked her off the platform. Well, he would have yanked her off the platform if Courtney hadn't similarly grabbed his mohawk. The two squabbled for a few minutes until Courtney planted a kiss on Duncan's cheek, distracting him long enough for her to secure the win.
The next round saw Alejandro square off with Courtney while Heather went against Leshawna.
Alejandro spurred on and motivated Leshawna, insisting that she must seize the day. Heather became enraged over this and smacked Leshawna hard in the face. Leshawna smacked her back harder and off the platform, following that up by leaping off the platform to smack Heather silly for her actions over the past few seasons to a chorus of cheers.
Satisfied with his work, Alejandro let his guard down for Courtney, who took him down quickly. Noah caught wind of this and asked Alejandro what was up with that, but the charmer claimed Heather distracted him.
It was looking like a pretty predictable elimination ceremony, as Duncan and Lindsay received barf bags with no votes against one another, DJ looked ready for his, and Leshawna was squirming in her seat.
In a shocking twist, DJ was announced as the one who'd be taking the drop. When asked, Duncan and Lindsay explained that yea, Leshawna threw the challenge to kick Heather's butt, but they would've done the exact same thing in her position. That left DJ as the odd man out, and the two explained that they didn't want him to have to suffer with his animal curse any further, and that they hoped he'd be able to put it to bed.
Team Victory hugged and DJ took the drop amidst sad and reluctant goodbyes.
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Ezekiel, Izzy, Noah, Owen, Tyler
Victory: Duncan, Leshawna, Lindsay
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ
The World Tour continued in The Amazon of Peru.
Gwen ignorantly proclaimed that Team Amazon in the Amazon must be lucky, sealing their fate according to Sierra. Meanwhile, Leshawna was being extra ass-kissy to Duncan and Lindsay for not voting her out, the latter politely and the former less than politely telling her that it was cool. She wasn't ready to declare that Alejandro was evil just yet, but did mention it to her teammates just in case.
The plane touched down and Chris told the teams that their next challenge was to camp in the Amazon overnight and search Machu Picchu for a golden treasure.
Hijinks ensued that saw Team Chris get swarmed by a mob of caterpillars and Team Amazon get captured by a local indigenous tribe known only as the Zing-Zings. Heather was discovered to resemble an ancient Zing-Zing god and was released from the ties that bound, getting herself a gold tooth in the process to replace the one Leshawna knocked out.
Day broke and Team Chris made it to the mountain first, but were noticeably down Owen. Alejandro, through gritted teeth, said he'd go back and get the big lug, which didn't go unnoticed by Noah. Team Victory arrived in their stead and began searching for the golden treasure.
Alejandro freed Owen and manipulated the fat boy into believing that Ezekiel and Tyler had convinced them to go on ahead without him and that Izzy and Noah agreed, meaning Alejandro was the only person Owen could trust.
Team Chris returned to the top after some time and immediately found a treasure according to Tyler. He and Owen started wrenching out a pillar with a glass prism atop it, saying they found the olden treasure. Chris corrected them, saying they were looking for a golden treasure, which Lindsay ran in with right after he said that.
The cast was brought back to the plane and Team Amazon were declared losers.
It was looking like Gwen's time to go until Chris told them that it was another reward challenge, and that they were all safe.
But, in his mean-spirited-ness, felt like revealing the votes, showing that Courtney, Gwen, and Sierra had all voted for Heather while Heather threw her vote Gwen's way and Cody's landed on Sierra. Sierra became a sniveling mess because of this.
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Ezekiel, Izzy, Noah, Owen, Tyler
Victory: Duncan, Leshawna, Lindsay
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ
The city of love, Paris, was next up.
The challenge was to run through the Louvre and recover disassembled statues that corresponded with their team.
Cody was unfortunately saddled with spending the episode cheering Sierra up, eventually succeeding in his efforts. Strangely enough, Cody actually began to feel a little bit sympathetic towards Sierra. It was a very, very small amount.
With two strong leaders on Team Victory and Alejandro not having much time to get into Leshawna's ear, the Victory trio were actually able to stake a claim of victory, assembling their statue first.
Team Amazon took second place, which Heather was all too happy to hear.
That left Team Chris in the loser's circle, which Alejandro did not like one bit.
Of all his teammates, Alejandro deemed Izzy the least predictable and therefore most dangerous. He convinced Ezekiel and Tyler of this, but was unable to get Noah and Owen on his side. To counter this, Alejandro told Izzy that they should get rid of Tyler for sucking at everything. The psycho hose beast took the offer.
At the elimination ceremony, Izzy was blindsided and eliminated. She shared a sad hug with Noah and Owen before performing a trust fall of sorts out of the jet, saluting on her way down. Noah and Owen glared over at Alejandro, which did not go unnoticed by the charmer.
Izzy: 3 (Alejandro, Ezekiel, Tyler)
Alejandro: 1 (Noah)
Ezekiel: 1 (Owen)
Tyler: 1 (Izzy)
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Ezekiel, Noah, Owen, Tyler
Victory: Duncan, Leshawna, Lindsay
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy
Chris' homeland of Newfoundland was the next stop, and the host was feeling giddy.
The three teams were first tasked with racing to the mainland where they would perform a screeching-in ceremony. A bonus would be given to any team that caught any fish.
Owen, the magnificent fisherman that he was, fished up a bounty, though he couldn't stop himself from devouring it all. That, combined with Ezekiel and Noah's weak arms, led to Team Chris coming in last and losing the challenge.
At the screeching-in ceremony, Team Victory was able to best Team Amazon, as Duncan slammed back the vinegar no problem, Leshawna accidentally managed to decipher Jerd's saying, and Lindsay imagined that she was kissing Tyler for the win.
Team Chris had to prepare and serve a seafood dinner for the winning team, and to add insult to injury, had to boot someone.
Alejandro, knowing that he largely had Ezekiel and Tyler wrapped around his finger, targeted Owen. Why, you ask? Simple: Noah was more aware of Alejandro's shadiness and would likely spill the beans before being eliminated. Owen, despite Noah's suspicion, still trusted Alejandro. Along with this, the fat boy was seriously getting on Alejandro's nerves.
In a 3-1-1 vote, Owen was sent packing. He shared a bone-crushing hug with Noah while the bookworm paled and directly accused Alejandro of being evil. To Ezekiel and Tyler though, Noah just looked paranoid.
Owen: 3 (Alejandro, Ezekiel, Tyler)
Alejandro: 1 (Noah)
Ezekiel: 1 (Owen)
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Ezekiel, Noah, Tyler
Victory: Duncan, Leshawna, Lindsay
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen
The next destination was Jamaica, though the landing was rather unprecedented, as the jet fell out of the sky, out of gas.
In a huff, Chris decided that the first challenge would be cliff diving for aquatically buried treasure that belonged to Chef. also known as the bling the cook wore whenever he DJ'd.
Gwen got the chains first for Team Amazon but was shocked by electric eels, allowing Alejandro to swoop down and retrieve the chains for Team Chris. All was for naught though, as while Alejandro was carrying Gwen back up the hill, Heather snatched the chains from the charmer.
The second challenge was a take on Jamaican bobsledding, where the contestants drove through a crazy windy tubular course on longboards.
With their time deduction advantage, Team Amazon won while Team Victory took second and Team Chris took last.
Noah heaved a heavy sigh of resignation, accepting his fate, until Chris revealed that the bookworm was spared, as without the jet being flyable, the elimination would be pretty lame and therefore not worth happening.
Noah was safe, for now...
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Ezekiel, Noah, Tyler
Victory: Duncan, Leshawna, Lindsay
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen
In the midst of flying, Alejandro peered into First Class to see Chris and Chef talking to a small person with a knife. The person was made aware of Alejandro's presence and snatched the charmer.
Chris called the teams into the cafeteria and brushed aside Alejandro's absence. Heather and Tyler both looked sad that the charmer wasn't there. Chris also declared that before today's challenge was to start, he was dissolving Team Victory, as they likely didn't stand a chance with so few members and he wanted to increase the drama on the other teams. To make things fair, Leshawna and Lindsay would be moved to Team Chris while Duncan would be moved to Team Amazon. The punk was none too happy about the change.
The next challenge was to take place in London, where the teens were instructed to find and capture Jack the Ripper through a sequence of challenges. During this, after Ezekiel, Lindsay, and Tyler were all captured, Noah told Leshawna about his opinions of Alejandro, which Leshawna shared, surprising Noah. They both agreed that they needed to turf him as soon as possible
When the dust settled, the duo of Duncan and Gwen, hardened by their knowledge of horror movies, were able to snag Jack the Ripper with ease, who was revealed to be Izzy. She was thrown out the plane once more for not being able to capture all the remaining contestants. Team Chris was left as the losers.
Leshawna and Noah attempted to get into Lindsay and Tyler's ears about Alejandro's slipperiness, but they were unable to convince the lamebrained duo of his vileness. They were able to compromise on another target though.
Shocking Alejandro and the homeschooler himself, Ezekiel was declared eliminated. Tyler apologized to the scrawny kid and Ezekiel took his loss with pride, saying he was just happy to not lose first this time, eh.
Ezekiel: 4 (Leshawna, Lindsay, Noah, Tyler)
Noah: 2 (Alejandro, Ezekiel)
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Duncan, Gwen, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Leshawna, Lindsay, Noah, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel
Tyler returned to Loser Class late that night looking extremely pale, which didn't go unnoticed by Alejandro or Noah.
The next destination was Greece in a recreation of the original Olympics, although the plane almost landed in Rome, Italy after a flub by some interns.
Duncan and Tyler squared off in a scavenger hunt for a gold medal through a maze of pillars. The two sung a ballad in which Tyler desperately tried and failed to keep his knowledge of Gwen and Duncan's kiss secret. For this, Duncan threatened to murder Tyler until the boar-bear which the medal was wrapped around pounced on Duncan, allowing Tyler to skirt by with the win.
In a wrestling match, Leshawna pinned Courtney and Sierra who had fought one another instead of the opposition, though Cody was also able to pin Noah to the ground at the same time. This moment was cited as the start of the apex of NoCo shipping and fanart.
Chris announced that the final challenge would determine if Team Chris won or Team Amazon tied. Alejandro was looking like he was going to win with ease until Lindsay and Tyler, who were freaked over how close it was, distracted Alejandro and allowed Heather to win.
In the ultimate tiebreaker, Cody and Tyler went up against one another in a battle to see who could fly to the top of a crane and retrieve a medal with glued together wings. Alejandro decided that Team Amazon needed a little bit of turmoil and made Tyler spills the beans on what he saw.
The team went into instant disarray as Heather and Sierra had to restrain Courtney from mauling both Duncan and Gwen. Duncan looked indifferent at the moment while Gwen wilted, ashamed of her actions. Cody was completely dumbfounded that Gwen would pick Duncan over him.
With the weight off his shoulders and no competition, Tyler was able to retrieve the gold for Team Chris and gave them the win.
In an inspiring display of nobility, Gwen volunteered herself for elimination as a means to allow Courtney to get back at her. Courtney and Sierra quickly accepted, as did Heather, who was elated to finally not be the target.
Gwen's honor cost her the game and she was sent flying out the jet by a maniacal Courtney who cackled evilly as Gwen fell.
Gwen: 4 (Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Sierra)
Duncan: 1 (Cody)
Courtney: 1 (Duncan)
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Duncan, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Leshawna, Lindsay, Noah, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen
Duncan was well aware that he was on the outs of Team Amazon, so he made it his mission to grind them into the dirt and dominate the rest of the pre-merge
Area 51 was their next destination.
The challenge was to first navigate through a minefield and then retrieve an alien artifact from within the facility.
Courtney continued acting like a raging bull towards Duncan, which the punk, in an act that was surprisingly mature for him, ignored. These actions started to get on Cody and Heather's nerves.
Team Chris was able to arrive and leave with an alien artifact first, though their "artifact" was an actual alien lifeform. In their return trip through the minefield, Tyler misstepped onto a mine and was launched to the finish line, killing the alien and disqualifying Team Chris.
Team Amazon, or more specifically Duncan, crossed the finish line with an intact alien artifact, declaring them the winners.
Despite Tyler's injuries, Alejandro knew the value that having him and Lindsay would be. Alejandro was able to convince Lindsay and Tyler that Tyler would be eliminated for being injured. He used this to convince the two idiots for their vote.
At the elimination ceremony, Leshawna was declared the loser as she was more loudly opposed to Alejandro and the members of Team Amazon were more likely to listen to her over Noah. Leshawna told Lindsay and Tyler of Alejandro's true nature before she left, which began clouding the jock's mind with more doubt, given that that was now a second person telling him Alejandro was evil. It definitely didn't help Alejandro that Tyler was so close with Leshawna.
Leshawna: 3 (Alejandro, Lindsay, Tyler)
Alejandro: 2 (Leshawna, Noah)
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Duncan, Heather, Sierra
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Lindsay, Noah, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen, Leshawna
Tyler was seriously starting to doubt whether Alejandro was a good guy or not, given his actions of eliminating two of his friends in Owen and Leshawna and making him reveal Gwen and Duncan kissed. Alejandro was viscerally upset over the thought of losing his biggest and most gullible ally.
Australia was up next, and saw both teams race to Hanging Rock to shear sheep to find their team's logo.
Alejandro and Noah arrived way before Lindsay and Tyler, who were struggling to control their emus. During this downtime, Noah revealed that he knew what game Alejandro was up to, and that he better keep that leash around Tyler tied even tighter if he wanted to stay in the game. Alejandro scoffed at the bookworm's threats, though internally he felt a bit nervous for the first time in a long time.
While Courtney, Duncan, and Heather were waiting for Cody and Sierra, Alejandro made a proposition with Duncan to mess with Courtney's head. The two villains agreed, with the plan being Alejandro flirting with Courtney while Duncan feigned tears. This worked like a charm on Courtney, and she was left in a starstruck daze.
Team Amazon fully arrived first but were unable to complete the challenge first due to Courtney's gushing at Alejandro, giving Team Chris the window of opportunity to take the win. Alejandro and Noah both breathed a sigh of relief upon hearing this.
Before the elimination ceremony, Duncan pulled Heather and Sierra aside and asked them to vote off Courtney, insisting that it was her fault they lost today and that she might keep slowing them down if she's distracted by Alejandro all the time. Heather agreed but Sierra, furious at Duncan for breaking up Total Drama's best couple, refused and stormed off.
Heather told Duncan not to worry and to just vote for Sierra instead, and that she has a plan.
At the elimination ceremony, Sierra was pronounced the loser, shocking both Courtney and Sierra. Cody, who'd started to warm up ever so slightly for Sierra, insisted that Sierra needed some time apart from him. Sierra nodded her head sadly in understanding and kissed him goodbye.
Sierra: 3 (Cody, Duncan, Heather)
Duncan: 2 (Courtney, Sierra)
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Duncan, Heather
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Lindsay, Noah, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen, Leshawna, Sierra
Sweden was up next on the World Tour.
Alejandro and Noah were openly at arms with one another while Tyler had no idea which one of his bros he should trust. Lindsay was being her bubbly, supportive self, though she was largely lost on what was going on as it was.
Team Amazon was more tightly-knit together, though it was hardly noticeable. Heather and Duncan had established a truce out of necessity, knowing that either of them would be eliminated if they weren't buddied up. Cody was used as the extra vote against Courtney, who was just a purely emotional mess.
The teams were first tasked with building a boat, then sailing to Chef to retrieve ammo and declare a captain, and then with either capturing a flag or sinking the enemy's ship.
Team Amazon, the brighter of the two teams, was able to finish the ship faster and therefore get flints for their cannon. Team Chris didn't finish too long after, though they weren't able to secure the flints.
Cody and Tyler were declared team captains. Courtney and Heather both tried to woo Cody into supporting them while Alejandro and Noah did the same to Tyler. No one was able to achieve their goal unfortunately as Cody was focused on the win without Sierra around and Tyler was too confused to trust either man over the other.
Alejandro, sensing he couldn't get through to Tyler, quickly got to work on Lindsay right in front of Tyler. This upset the jock to no end, teetering his opinion in favor of Noah.
The teams had a back and forth race until Duncan aimed the cannon at Tyler, hitting the jock and causing Lindsay to rush to his aid. Noah demanded they press forward but Lindsay refused. With this distraction, Team Amazon picked up the win.
Alejandro pulled Noah aside before the elimination ceremony and decided to cut him a deal. Alejandro reasoned that Noah was smart enough to know that if Noah tried to vote him off, Alejandro could easily pull enough votes to sack the bookworm. So the two came to a consensus that they would cut one of Alejandro's alliance mates, as Alejandro reasoned that they were both slipping and getting distracted with one another. Alejandro needed one of them left to have a solid ally, and the choice was Noah's.
Noah chose Lindsay to get eliminated, reasoning that she could be manipulated easier than Tyler. The couple shared a sad goodbye and Tyler just lost it.
Like actually lost it. So much so that Team Amazon came into the elimination ceremony to see what was up and to gasp at Lindsay being gone.
Tyler tore into Alejandro, openly declaring that he was an evil, gross, shifty, manipulative douchebag that could never be trusted under any circumstances. He vented his anger for a solid few minutes, his rant including many censors for the American audience. By the time he finished, his chest heaved up and down as he stormed off to Loser Class, leaving everyone stunned. Alejandro in particular felt a tight pang in his gut and noticed Noah smirking at him.
Alejandro quickly realized he should've just canned the bookworm.
Lindsay: 2 (Alejandro, Noah)
Alejandro: 1 (Tyler)
Noah: 1 (Lindsay)
Amazon: Cody, Courtney, Duncan, Heather
CRRRRH: Alejandro, Noah, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen, Leshawna, Sierra, Lindsay
Niagara Falls was next for the group, and Chris had a big announcement in store.
Sensing that tension amongst both teams was at an all time high, Chris declared that the merge was on.
Alejandro, Cody, Courtney, Duncan, Heather, Noah, and Tyler all made it. To spice up the drama, Chris added the host of the Celebrity Manhunt special Blaineley to the game. She was a crabby, obnoxious fame-monger of a middle-aged woman, which none of the teens liked much.
The challenge was based on weddings and produced pairings of:
Alejandro and Heather
Duncan and Courtney
Blaineley and Tyler
Noah and Cody.
Noah raged at the host for shipping him with Cody, but Chris merely scoffed and said that they should've booted Tyler last time to make the genders even.
The first challenge saw Tyler, who naturally struggled with directions, fail to deliver Blaineley to the dress, eliminating them from the chance at immunity. The poor jock, still reeling from his rage, went into a massive tantrum in his frustration of not getting immunity.
The second challenge was to cross a tightrope over the falls and answer questions provided by Chef to be allowed back into Canada.
During part two, Cody's arms gave out carrying Noah and the two boys were sent falling into the water below. Duncan and Courtney also fell after they couldn't stop fighting, eventually getting into a full on slap fight above the water and knocking one another out of the challenge. That left Alejandro and Heather to secure immunity.
With the two biggest threats off the board and sensing the opportunity to secure his position in the game, Noah devised a plan to get back at Duncan for the TDDDDI special all those years ago. Noah was able to get Blaineley, Cody, Courtney, and Tyler to all vote off the three-time merger, who cursed Chris and Courtney the whole way down.
Duncan: 5 (Blaineley, Cody, Courtney, Noah, Tyler)
Courtney: 2 (Duncan, Heather)
Tyler: 1 (Alejandro)
Merge: Alejandro, Blaineley, Cody, Courtney, Heather, Noah, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen, Leshawna, Sierra, Lindsay, Duncan
Courtney was feeling a type of happiness that could only be described as sweet, sweet revenge finally coming to fruition.
With Gwen and Duncan both gone, Courtney felt vindicated and free, although also indebted to Noah for his scheme. Along with that, Alejandro had continued flirting with her from time to time, and she wasn't about to deny his advances. Courtney felt like she was in the golden zone for her game.
Tyler was just a complete mess man. The dude had just lost his girlfriend and though he didn't care for Duncan, he was still pissed that he couldn't vote out Alejandro. Noah had done some work to calm him down and keep his head steady in the challenge, but it wasn't all that great a time for the jock.
Heather felt naked without Duncan, her longest-tenured and most respected ally, having just gotten the boot. She didn't want to commit to an alliance with anyone just yet, planning to keep her head down like Cody was doing and coast through.
Cody was chillin' brah. With Sierra long gone and him not being a big game player, he knew that for the most part, he was safe. All Cody had to do was stay out of the crosshairs of Alejandro and Heather and he figured he'd be home free with Noah and Tyler.
Noah felt good about his standing, believing he had firm allies in Courtney and Tyler and another less firm one in Cody.
Blaineley was just determined to win.
And Alejandro? Where to start with Alejandro. His flirtatious efforts with Courtney were going splendidly in knocking both the CIT and Heather off their games, but that was about all that was going right. Noah and Tyler were onto him and Noah was actively recruiting Cody and Courtney to his cause. The only other potential ally he had left was Blaineley after Duncan took the drop last time, but man was that not looking very pleasing. All in all, the charmer was honed in on turfing Noah, but he knew that was easier said than done.
China saw the teens race along the Great Wall in a qualifier that only Cody failed to qualify for, knocking him out of the running for immunity.
After several grueling rounds of disgusting food, Tyler was declared the winner, outlasting Alejandro, Noah, Heather, Courtney, and Blaineley, who, pointed out by Heather, was cheating and getting actual edible food instead of the gross slop they were forced to choke down.
Blaineley was eliminated in a near unanimous vote after cheating, surprising literally no one.
Blaineley: 6 (Alejandro, Cody, Courtney, Heather, Noah, Tyler)
Heather: 1 (Blaineley)
Merge: Alejandro, Cody, Courtney, Heather, Noah, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen, Leshawna, Sierra, Lindsay, Duncan, Blaineley
The kids were in for a real treat as they got to have an African safari, tasked with hunting down Chef in full blown winter clothes, his punishment for helping Blaineley cheat in China.
The pre-challenge was gourd smashing that Alejandro and Heather excelled at, netting the villainous duo slingshots and 6 tranquilizer balls each.
Courtney and Tyler were both able to get their slingshots, though Courtney only got 3 tranq balls and Tyler was left with 2. Cody and Noah were SOL.
Alejandro and Heather decided to work together in the next challenge while Noah went to work on getting into Courtney's ear about Alejandro. This left Cody and Tyler teaming up after Cody begged the jock to help him out.
This was another shining moment for Alejandro, as he used his charms and smarts to swindle Heather out of her tranq balls. With the extra ammo, Alejandro was able to win the challenge with ease and grant himself immunity, disappointing Noah and Tyler heavily.
Alejandro realized that now was the perfect opportunity to take out a major game threat in Noah. He had found out that Noah was behind Duncan's elimination, leading him to believe Noah and Courtney were working together. Add in Tyler hating his guts, and Alejandro had to hope for some way to secure a third vote.
That third vote came from Heather, who was able to seduce Cody into voting off Noah.
In a 3-2-1 vote, Noah was shell shocked to find out he was out. He left with his head held high, informing everyone of his Alejandro conspiracy theory before leaving and warning them to "beware of eels"
Noah: 3 (Alejandro, Cody, Heather)
Heather: 2 (Courtney, Noah)
Cody: 1 (Tyler)
Merge: Alejandro, Cody, Courtney, Heather, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen, Leshawna, Sierra, Lindsay, Duncan, Blaineley, Noah
The Final Five saw themselves brought to Easter Island to search for condor eggs in their color from the busts of all the previously voted off contestants. Chris had a real fun time putting Alejandro's in Owen's, Leshawna's, and Noah's heads and putting Courtney's in Gwen's and Duncan's heads.
The pre-challenge was won by Alejandro, rewarding him with a catcher's mask for the second part of the challenge, returning the eggs to an incensed mother condor.
Alejandro, with his advantage, won before the others were even given the opportunity, giving the charmer immunity.
Unsatisfied with the results, Chris gave everyone else one chance and one chance only to scale up to the condor's nest and plant their eggs. If they were successful, they would be given immunity in tonight's vote.
Courtney and Heather, both determined and figuring they would get eliminated without immunity, scaled up the nest and deposited their eggs with little problem, giving them a freebie for the night's vote.
Cody and Tyler didn't fare as well, with Cody getting knocked off by the condor and Tyler not even making it to the top, misplacing his hand and falling back down to the ground below.
In a tense voting ceremony, Cody was shocked to see himself get knocked out. Courtney apologized to Cody and told him that she was closer to Tyler than him, and that if anyone else was up for elimination, they would've gotten her vote. Heather commended Cody for sneaking by so well, but it was his time to go. At this rate, he might just snatch the million from under their noses.
The geek left after sharing a hug with Courtney and a fist bump with Tyler.
Cody: 3 (Courtney, Heather, Tyler)
Tyler: 2 (Alejandro, Cody)
Merge: Alejandro, Courtney, Heather, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen, Leshawna, Sierra, Lindsay, Duncan, Blaineley, Noah, Cody
Drumheller, Canada was the location for the Final Four to become the Final Three. The first challenge was to construct an original dinosaur fossil. Courtney won after kissing ass to Chris, while Heather came in second, Tyler got third, and Alejandro got nothing.
The second challenge was to recover barrels of oil for the plane while Chris and Chef were launching stones at the teens. Heather found a barrel first but was trapped in the hole she dug by a rock. Alejandro came by and saw her struggling, figuring this was the perfect opportunity to secure a spot in the finale, offered his assistance so long as she promised to never vote for him again. She agreed, sighing in defeat.
Tyler wound up winning the challenge, with Courtney and Heather returning with barrels before the night fell. Tyler's barrel was noticeably punctured.
Chris staged a Wawanakwa-like voting ceremony for the teens and announced the loser to be...
Courtney. Courtney sprang to her feet and demanded to know why she was eliminated, as she was fully expecting a tie between herself and Heather. Tyler told her that he was voting for Alejandro and thought she knew that. Courtney screeched back at Tyler for not voting for Heather, wondering why he would choose Heather over Alejandro when Heather's done way worse stuff.
Tyler reasoned that Lindsay doesn't really care about the past stuff with Heather while Alejandro directly messed stuff up for him this game and has generally been a really crummy person.
Courtney went into full-blown tantrum mode, reaching the point where she kicked a hot coal from the fire onto oil that had spilled from Tyler's barrel, igniting the trail and blowing up the Jumbo Jet.
Chris sobbed and wailed over the destruction of his private aircraft while the Final Three looked at each other curiously, wondering how they would finish the season.
Courtney: 2 (Alejandro, Heather)
Alejandro: 1 (Tyler)
Heather: 1 (Courtney)
Merge: Alejandro, Heather, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen, Leshawna, Sierra, Lindsay, Duncan, Blaineley, Noah, Cody, Courtney
With Chris still upset over the loss of his plane, he hurriedly organized a final challenge for the teens to determine a finale.
That challenge was to travel from Drumheller all the way to Tijuana Beach, Mexico, and then sail to Hawaii for the finale. The last person there would be automatically eliminated.
Alejandro went to work with Heather but the queen bee refused, saying that he was going to go down in the sudden-death challenge. The Latin teen was left by his lonesome to make his way to the beach, without a true ally for the first time in a while.
Meanwhile, Tyler was being helped by Courtney after Tyler was the only one who felt genuinely bad for her. With Courtney's strong common sense, the two took a hot air balloon (Tyler insisted) to the nearest airport while Heather and Alejandro traveled via horseback and train, fighting with one another the whole way down.
Shocking everyone in the Peanut Gallery, Tyler with Courtney in tow were able to arrive at Tijuana Beach first, racing over to Hawaii and securing his place in the finale with ease.
Alejandro and Heather both exited the train at the same time and, upon seeing only two boats at their disposal (and also hearing Chris announce that Tyler was a finalist), began scrapping and clawing to be the second finalist. Heather initially had the upper hand but Alejandro quickly overtook her.
The archvillain gloated over his win while Heather broke down in tears, disappointed at coming so close but being so far once more. Alejandro came over to console her and also trick her into revealing her true feelings for him. Alejandro helped her back up and revealed his true feelings too, declaring that they could take over the world together.
Heather looked to be agreeing with him, and the two villains shared a kiss.
But remember, this is Heather.
She kneed Alejandro in the kiwis and hopped on her own boat, flooring it to Hawaii and leaving Alejandro a sniveling, destroyed mess.
Despite her underhandedness, everyone cheered as Heather arrived at the Hawaiian coast, proud and happy for the queen bee for defeating her nemesis.
Alejandro: Came in last
Finalists: Heather, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen, Leshawna, Sierra, Lindsay, Duncan, Blaineley, Noah, Cody, Courtney, Alejandro
The ultimate Hawaiian showdown was set. Heather and Tyler
Heather, the ultimate redemption story. The once vindictive teen had a massive fall from grace after her defeat in TDI, going bald in the process. She suffered in TDA but still made some amends though she was never a real player that season. World Tour came about and she arrived with a massive chip on her shoulder and huge target on her back. She clawed and kicked and punched her way to the finale by buddying up to Duncan and hiding behind Alejandro's massive target to earn her spot in the finale, betraying Alejandro in an epic fashion that only Heather could pull off.
Tyler, the unassuming underdog. The jock had been Alejandro's lackey for almost half of his time on the show, snapping against him in a big way after Lindsay was eliminated and going on his own warpath to the finale. His close relationship with Noah and ability to not tick off his fellow competitors helped him reach this stage of the game, and he wasn't about to back down just to let Heather have her happy ending.
The Hawaiian challenge was revealed to be building a sacrifice of wood and a pineapple head of their adversary and then hucking it into a volcano, with the assistance of two helpers. Cody and Duncan stepped up for Heather while Courtney and Lindsay helped Tyler.
The two had an intense back and forth battle that wasn't made any easier by their helpers. They went neck and neck, but in the end, only one threw their sacrifice in the volcano and claimed victory.
The winner? That's for you to decide.
Finalists: Heather, Tyler
Eliminated: Harold, Bridgette, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Ezekiel, Gwen, Leshawna, Sierra, Lindsay, Duncan, Blaineley, Noah, Cody, Courtney, Alejandro
So yea, that's how I think things would be different. DJ would finally be voted out, though this time it's due to sympathy, Owen wouldn't merge, Ezekiel doesn't go fucking feral cuz seriously fuck that plotline.
Was the defeat of Alejandro satisfying? I knew I was gonna have to hand him so much plot armor after the merge but was that defeat worth it? I don't think there should ever be a universe that the villain wins, it's unsatisfying.
Also, whatcha think of Finalist Tyler? I always knew Heather still be the first finalist (and my canon winner) but I was jostling between having Courtney, Noah, and Tyler be the other finalist, mostly going off of who I could give the most genuine hatred against Alejandro to, which was Tyler once I came up with the Team Victory dissolve.
I hope you enjoyed this first alternate reality scenario, please let me know your feelings on the whole ordeal.
Leave any scenarios you have in a review and I'll be sure to get on them whenever I feel inclined to do so.
Until next time, shuppyer out.
