by TheDrama100

After years of torturing campers and racers, this is it. All 100 players to compete in the Total Drama franchise are back for one last shot at money and fame.

(54/100)

1. Episode 1: It All Begins Again- Part 1

Author's Notes: This is the first story I've published to this site, and it is going to be a big one as you could probably imagine from a 100-person total drama season. There are a few things that are different from the Total Drama canon to make the story work + some things to note before reading.

The canonical winners in this universe are:

Island- Gwen (all dialogue in tdi 2024 about Owen being a winner doesn't happen)

Action- Duncan

World Tour- Heather

Revenge of the Island- Lightning

All Stars- Zoey

Pahkitew Island- Shawn

Ridonculous Race- Police Cadets

TDI 23- Priya

TDI 24- Wayne

I also changed the timeline so there isn't a major age gap between the first and fifth gens, so here is the new timeline:

Island and Action took place in 2019, World Tour and Revenge took place in 2020 (with Revenge being 6 months later), All Stars took place in 2021, Pakhitew took place in 2022, TDI 23 took place in 2023 (duh), Ridonculous Race/TDI 24 took place in 2024 (duh). Total Drama Ultimate, this current season, is set in 2026. Gen 1 is around 23, Gen 2 around 21, Gen 3 around 20, and Gen 5 around 19, with Blaineley/Ridonculous Race ages varying.

Also yes, the interviews in this introduction episode are inspired by DCAS, I love the idea of it so why not use it. This episode won't be the most action packed as it's more introductory in nature, so apologies for that.

With all that out of the way, here is the first episode!

Day 1

The camera pans over to Chris McLean and Chef Hatchet, who are standing at the entrance to Pahkitew Island. Chris looks at the camera and begins his opening intro for the season.

"Hello everyone… it has been a while since you have seen us here at Pahkitew Island, hasn't it? Well, we have spent the past four years updating the technology here to have even more control than we did when we were first here… why is that you ask? Well because after seven years of us torturing a bunch of teenagers in increasingly worse fashion, we are closing out the series with a bang! All 68 former Total Drama players + the 32 new racers from our recent Ridonculous Race spinoff series will all go head to head in our biggest season ever! Who will outlast 99 of their castmates to become the sole survivor and undisputed greatest player in Total Drama history? Well the only way to find out is to watch this season of… Total… Drama… Ultimate!"

Intro

"Alright, here we are! All 100 players are aboard a plane that is about to land… time to see what everyone has been doing since last being on the show!" Chris says, eager to get started.

"Thank god they will have to find their own food since we're back on Pahkitew Island, I did not want to cook for 100 brats three times a day!" Chef adds on, in a rare happy mood.

"You're welcome, I suggested coming back here." Chris says, proud of himself. The plane Chris mentioned begins to descend, and it's not long before it hits the ground. "Alright, let's get started with the introductions! First up is the only person to be eliminated first two times, here is Ezekiel!"

Ezekiel walks out of the plane first, not looking anything at all like his feral self from World Tour, Revenge, and All Stars. He instead looks like his previous self from Island.

"Wow, you aren't a freak anymore!" Chris remarks with a laugh that only gets a glare from Ezekiel. He notices and tries to calm things down. "That was a joke, please don't try to kill me like you did in All Stars."

"I won't…" Ezekiel says. An uncomfortable silence fills the air, confusing Chris.

"Wow you aren't talking nonsense about how good you are, times have changed, haven't they?" Chris again says with a taunting voice, just making Ezekiel more upset.

"I'm not in the mood for this." Ezekiel says angrily. He walks off with a pissed off look on his face while Chris raises an eyebrow, wondering what changed in him.

Cut to Ezekiel being interviewed by Don

"Weren't you the host of the Ridonculous Race?" Ezekiel asks in confusion. "What are you doing on Total Drama?"

"This is a collaboration of shows between Chris and I, so I am helping here." Don says. "Anyways, it has been four and a half years since the whole world last saw you. You were feral in All Stars, now you are seemingly back to normal. What happened?"

"My parents paid a lot of money to get treatment to 'de-feral' me… I was so obsessed with trying to redeem my season 1 reputation in World Tour that I became a monster… literally." Ezekiel replies, a regretful look in his eyes recalling the previous seasons. "Everyone just knows me as a freak on TV now and I regret going on this show every day…"

Don looks at Ezekiel, taking in his answer. "Are you upset that the contracts you signed years ago forced you to come back?"

"Duh." Ezekiel says without hesitation. "How are those even still valid?"

"Don't know." Don replies bluntly. "Anyways, do you think you stand a chance to win this season?"

Ezekiel just frowns. "No… no one is going to give me a chance. I don't really want to be here, but I will try my best. The farm is struggling because my family had to pay for my treatments. Winning the money could do wonders for us!"

Cut to Chris

"Well, let's go from one of the worst contestants ever to one of the best… the runner up of TDI, Owen, welcome back!" Chris says. He is instantly crushed by Owen, who runs out of the plane to give Chris a hug.

"WOOHOO, I AM SO EXCITED TO BE BACK! I haven't been in enough episodes!" Owen says loudly. Ezekiel raises an eyebrow at the latter comment. "Hi Chris, how are you doing!?"

"Good, I can't wait to see people suffer again, it has been years!" Chris says excitedly.

"Yeah, that is so cool- wait what?"

Cut to Owen being interviewed by Don

"Owen, you are one of the most iconic contestants this show has ever produced. 1st place in Island, 3rd place in Action, 8th place in World Tour, and 8th place in Ridonculous Race. How do you feel about your chances going into this season?" Don asks.

"Thanks for calling me iconic Don!" Owen says happily.

"You're welcome, now can you answer the question?" Don replies.

Owen stares at Don for a few seconds before talking again. "What was the question again? I'm hungry!"

"Nevermind." Don says, not bothering to ask Owen anything else while he's hungry.

Cut to Chris

"Alright… please welcome back mom and daughter from Ridonculous Race, Kelly and Taylor." Chris says. Kelly and Taylor walk out of the plane together.

"Ugh mom, why do we have to be here?" Taylor says, clearly disgusted while looking around at the island. She stares at Owen and Ezekiel, then looks away with an even more grossed out look.

"Our contracts from Ridonculous Race said-" Kelly tries to say before getting cut off.

"Why would you sign the contract?" Taylor replies with an angry tone.

Kelly sighs. "You held your breath until you got to compete on Ridonculous-"

"MOM." Taylor pouts, annoyed at any justification for her being on the island.

Chris looks on at the arguing mother and daughter duo, but decides to cut it off. "You done?"

"Urgh!" Taylor exclaims angrily, before storming off while Kelly shakes her head.

Cut to Kelly and Taylor being interviewed by Don

"Kelly, Taylor, the audience saw you two get into some conflict during the Ridonculous Race, though it seemingly got resolved in the end. How has your mother-daughter relationship been since then?"

"It's gotten better, we go shopping a lot more now!" Kelly says with a smile.

"Yeah, I am a VERY happy girl." Taylor says while checking her nails. Suddenly, she looks up with an all too common angry look. "EXCEPT I HAVE TO COMPETE ON THIS SHOW, UGH! I am way too good to be doing this again!"

"Erm, alright." Don says, clearly irritated. He looks towards Kelly. "Kelly, isn't it a questionable parenting tactic to just go shopping to appease your kid instead of actual discipline?"

A silence fills the room, with both Kelly and Taylor being shocked at Don's question.

"Excuse me?" Taylor says with a glare directed at Don, who doesn't care.

"Um… no comment." Kelly says quietly. Taylor doesn't look happy that Kelly didn't snap at Don, but she doesn't say anything.

Cut to Chris

"Next up is another duo from Ridonculous Race, Mickey and Jay!"

10 seconds pass with no sign of the twins.

"Where are they?" Chris asks.

Chef sighs, before running into the plane. He throws Mickey and Jay out of the plane, and they lay on the ground shaking.

"Welcome boys, the adventure has just begun!" Chris says with a smile. Mickey and Jay on the other hand are not so excited.

"SEND US HOME PLEASE!" Mickey yells.

"WE ARE GOING TO DIE HERE!" Jay adds on, tears forming in his eyes.

"Yeesh, what a bunch of crybabies." Chris says disapprovingly.

"They won't last long." Chef says, shaking his head, knowing the torture they're going to endure.

Cut to Mickey and Jay being interviewed by Don

"You two were known for being weak at pretty much everything during the race." Don says. "Do you think you can turn your fortunes around in this new season?"

"No, we are terrified! Our luck did not improve at all after the Ridonculous Race ended, we are going to die here!" Mickey says while trembling.

"Call mom!" Jay adds.

"No." Don says simply, not saying too much since he knows how emotional the twins could get. Mickey and Jay start panicking, which causes Don to shake his head. "I'll pray for you."

Cut to Chris

"Alright, now we have Eva!" Chris says. Eva walks in and everyone who was already introduced are shocked, as Eva is even more muscular than she was when she first competed

"Ew!" Taylor says to her mom, disgusted by Eva, but thankfully for her Eva doesn't hear. Mickey and Jay look afraid of Eva, while Owen's shock turns into a smile at seeing his old castmate.

"Wow Eva, you look great!" Owen says, proud of seeing an old castmate do well.

"That's right, and I am going to win to redeem myself!" Eva says confidently.

Cut to Eva being interviewed by Don

"So Eva, you have become a champion in female bodybuilding around the world! You have broken down doors, what made you get into bodybuilding post Total Drama?" Don asks.

"Well everyone thinks I get mad too easily… which is true I have to admit. I put a lot of my focus into lifting weights as a hobby instead of hurting people, and eventually I met Ryan and Stephanie from Ridonculous Race. Ryan got me some connections to try and compete. It eventually evolved into me being the best in the world!" Eva says, pride of her accomplishments dripping from each word.

"Well congrats on your post show success. You did not do very well in Total Drama Island, but it has been seven years since then. Do you think things will be different this time?" Don asks.

"I do." Eva says with a smile, something she doesn't do too often. "I will try my best to control my anger around the other players and will just punch trees or something if I feel mad, I can't push people away like last time."

Cut to Chris

"Next up is Emma." Chris says.

…

"Which one, ey?" Ezekiel asks.

"Huh? Oh right, there are two Emmas for some reason! I am talking about the one from the island seasons!" Chris replies. Emma from TDI23 and TDI24 runs out of the plane, looking happy.

"Omg hi guys, I am so excited to be back!" Emma says, her happiness a stark contrast from her first introduction in TDI 23. Her excitement is short lived, as…

"Also back is… Chase!" Chris says, laughing as he introduced the two back to back on purpose. Chase walks out of the plane and goes straight towards Emma, much to her dismay.

"Hey Emma-" is all Chase can get out before Emma walks away without a word. "Emma? Where are you going?"

Cut to Emma23 being interviewed by Don

"So Emma, it has been two years since your seasons aired. Most of your game was defined by Chase, what are your thoughts on him being here?"

"I don't care." Emma says quickly.

"Oh?" Don says, taken aback, though he is skeptical. "Do you really mean it this time?"

"Yes. I talked to Bowie-"

"Since when were you and Bowie friends again?"

"We made up at Playa De Losers in season 2! Anyways, he gave me a long talk about Chase, and he told me to never give Chase another chance- which I was totally not going to give him anyways, talking to Bowie just ensured it!" Emma says.

"Sure…" Don says sarcastically.

"Hey! It's true, I have moved on from Chase!" Emma says, defending herself. "A guy willing to put my life in danger isn't worth it, there are plenty of more fish in the sea."

"Are you looking to find one of those fish here?"

"No… ugh seeing Bowie and Raj together does make me a bit jelly though…" Emma says, looking at her hands before looking back up. "No Emma, focus! I'm going to win this game!"

Cut to Chase being interviewed by Don

"Chase, you used to be a YouTube sensation! Nowadays, there is not a peep from you! What happened?"

"Stupid snowflakes canceled my YouTube channel for me "being mean on Total Drama" and "almost killing Emma!" How stupid is that? She was fine, me cutting her brakes didn't put her in any danger!" Chase says, clearly upset that his online career was cut short.

Don looks baffled. "It could have killed her-"

"But it didn't." Chase says, cutting Don off. "Anyways, I hope to get back with Emma… I know she still wants me!"

"Have y'all even talked since your seasons ended?"

"Well I keep texting and she keeps ghosting me… she is just playing hard to get, ya!" Chase says with a smile.

"Oh dear…"

Cut to Chris

"Next up is B!" Chris says. B walks out of the plane silently, not acknowledging Chris. "Um, hello?"

…

"Moving on." Chris says, annoyed at getting ignored.

Cut to B, being interviewed by Don

"Hello B." Don says. B nods in response. "In Revenge of the Island, you showed a lot of promise with your challenge ideas, however Scott sabotaged you to send you out 3rd. It's been a long time since then, do you hold any resentments?"

B gives a thumbs down.

"Alright then, are you going to change up your strategy this season?"

B gives a thumbs up.

"What will your new strategy be like?"

B makes a throat slashing motion, making his intentions clear.

"Interesting…" Don says with a raised eyebrow, not expecting that.

Cut to Chris

"Contestant #11 is… Trent. Dang, we really should've had him come in 9th. Oh well!" Chris says, quickly getting over his disappointment as Trent walks in.

"Haha, 9 jokes, so funny." Trent says dryly.

"I know, I don't get paid enough for my comedic timing." Chris says, missing the sarcasm.

"Hi Trent, it's good to see ya, I haven't seen you in ages!" Owen says with a wave.

"Well yeah… I've been busy and all…" Trent says with a sad look on his face, but he smiles before continuing. "Nice to see you too Big O!"

Cut to Trent being interviewed by Don

"In the first two years of Total Drama's lifespan, you were a very active member within the fandom. You had the drama brothers band and you made a lot of music appearances. However, a little before All Stars started, you suddenly went off the grid. What happened?"

"I just wanted a life away from the spotlight of reality tv… it kinda messed with me mentally, everyone saw my problems out in the public in Total Drama Action, and I was becoming a bit enamored with all the attention the Drama Brothers brought me." Trent says, looking uncomfortable as he talks.

"You seemed to always want to be a musician, and you had the chance to break into the industry post Total Drama. Music isn't reality tv, why didn't you go for it?" Don asks.

Trent just frowns: "…um, I would rather not get into it right now."

Cut to Chris

"From Ridonculous Race, those stupid hippies, Laurie and Miles!" Chris says. Laurie and Miles walk out, looking irritated at that description.

"That is not a nice thing to say Chris!" Miles says. Chris barely seems to acknowledge that, which upsets Laurie.

"Do not disrespect us again or what I did to Don after he made me eat meat will be nothing compared to what I do to you!" Laurie yells, looking furious to the surprise of everyone else.

Chase begins to laugh. "You loved that meat Laurie, you should've been thanking Don for providing it, haha!"

Laurie turns to Chase in anger. "SHUT UP, THAT RUINED MY LIFE!"

Miles realizes that Laurie might physically attack Chase, so she starts to rub Laurie's shoulders to calm her down. "Relax Laurie, the vegan community will forgive you…"

Cut to Laurie and Miles being interviewed by Don

"Between Ridonculous Race and now, Laurie, you were in the center of a major controversy with you going away from the vegan lifestyle, however you went back to it quickly. What happened- and I swear to god, do not beat me up again!" Don says with a worried look, remembering what happened in the Ridonculous Race.

"I won't… BUT UGH THE MEAT STUFF IN RIDONCULOUS RACE MESSED WITH MY HEAD, I THOUGHT I LIKED MEAT FOR A WHILE!" Laurie yells out, clearly stressed and upset.

Miles begins talking while Laurie breaths heavily. "She went back to eating meat consistently for a week, but then stopped because she realized she didn't truly like it."

"The vegan community was so mad at me for my moment of weakness, I want to win this season to redeem myself in their eyes! I'd donate the million dollars to charity to save animals to make up for what I did." Laurie says, tearing up knowing that she ate so many animals.

Cut to Chris

"Next up, the first boot of Revenge of the Island, chatty Staci!" Chris says. Staci, who is even fatter than in Revenge, walks out.

"OMG hi guys! That plane was so cool, it reminds me of my great great great-" Staci tries to say before everyone cuts her off.

"We don't care!"

"Why did you even cast that pig in Revenge, she adds nothing of value to this show." Taylor said, looking at Staci like she is subhuman.

Kelly gives a disapproving look to Taylor. "Taylor-" she tries to say before Taylor glares at her, shutting her up.

Staci looks dejected at no one wanting to hear her talk about her family.

Cut to Staci being interviewed by Don

"How have you been in the 5 and a half years since Revenge of the Island concluded, Staci?" Don asks.

"My hair grew back, that's pretty cool!" Staci says, pointing at her hair. "Did you know that my great great great-"

"I have a question, Staci." Don says, cutting her off.

"What is it?" Staci asks.

"Do you have friends?" Don asks.

Staci looks surprised at the question. "No… but I'm sure I'll make some here, ya!"

Cut to Chris

"Moving on from one flop to the next, it is Nichelle Ladonna!" Chris says.

Nichelle struts out of the plane. "Hey y'all, it's me! Chris I heard what you said, but Flopchelle is NOT going to happen again, I am the most athletic woman here!"

Eva looks annoyed at the proclamation. "Are you sure about that?"

"Yup." Nichelle says, unwavering in her claim.

"Wow, confidence, I like it!" Chris says, laughing at the minor argument.

Cut to Nichelle being interviewed by Don

"Hello Nichelle. Infamously during the last two seasons, you had a falling out with Hollywood. However, in the last 6 months you were taken back and you seem to have your swagger back. How did this all come about?" Don asks.

"Well I certainly did NOT beg and plead until they took me back, they begged me! Luckily for Hollywood, I said yes." Nichelle replies.

"Alright, I totally believe you." Don says. Nichelle slightly sneers when she catches the sarcasm, but she chooses not to comment. "Anyways, you were a pre merger in both of your cast's seasons. How will you try to change your fortunes this time?"

Nichelle frowns at the mention of her pre merge performances. "Ugh, being a pre-merger twice… this stupid show nearly ended my career in my first season. As for your question, I think I wasn't well rounded with my approach in TDI24. I have the physical skills but I quit early on and barely talked to anyone last time. When I heard I was coming back, I studied a lot of strategy on game shows to truly become great at every possible skill in this game! I am not leaving here without a million more dollars to add to my bank account! If I have to cut the throats of people, I'll do it in a heartbeat."

Cut to Chris

"From Revenge of the Island, it's the quitter herself, Anne Maria!" Chris says.

"Hey ho bags!" Anne Maria yells as she walks out the plane. Everyone looks either amused or shocked at the random insult. "I am not going to quit this time, so everyone watch out!"

"Quitting isn't allowed this time anyways, I love a good contract!" Chris says with a smile, getting disapproving looks in response.

Cut to Anne Maria being interviewed by Don

"Anne Maria, you quit in Revenge of the Island because you thought a fake diamond was real. That was kind of stupid on your part-" Don says before getting cut off.

"Excuse me?" Anne Maria says with an annoyed expression on her face. She takes hairspray out of her pocket. "Don't make me blind you with this!"

Don looks at the spray can, feeling threatening since he knows what she is capable of with hairspray. "Woah woah woah, calm down! How are you going to play this time-"

"Simple, if the mutated ogre, pigtails, or that piece of shit who led me on are on my team, they're going out just like that. I am on a revenge tour here!" Anne Maria says, cracking her knuckles.

"Ezekiel wasn't mutated, he just went feral-"

"Same thing." Anne Maria says with an eye roll. She starts to spray her hair, making Don cough as the room fills up with hairspray.

Cut to Chris

"From Pahkitew Island, it's my 'favorite' songbird, Ella!" Chris says. Ella walks out of the plane, wearing a new blue dress instead of her usual pink.

"How is everyone doing?" Ella asks.

"Good!" Owen replies with a grin, again greeting his competition as they come in.

"Who cares, just hurry up, I don't want to stand here all day!" Taylor complains. Ella just sighs in response and walks to the rest of the group.

Cut to Ella being interviewed by Don

"Hello Ella." Don greets.

"Hello!" Ella says with a smile. "Is it just me or does it smell like hairspray in here?"

"Yes, it does." Don says, not elaborating further. "So, in your season you got disqualified after Sugar ratted out your singing to Chris. What are your thoughts on that whole situation?"

Ella's smile at the start of the interview turns into a frown. "Quite honestly, watching the season air was painful… I really thought Sugar and I had a bond out there, but she was insulting me every chance she got behind my back…"

"And to your face." Don unhelpfully adds.

"I- that too. Everyone seemed annoyed at me, but I have been trying to stay true to myself after the show and not change, even if it's hard with all the criticism…" Ella says, her frown deepening.

Cut to Chris

"Now for a trio from our most recent seasons. Raj, TDI 23's runner up Bowie, and TDI 24's winner Wayne!" Chris says. Wayne and Raj sprint out of the plane, full of excitement, meanwhile Bowie trails behind them with a smile. In short time, they all make their way next to Chris.

"Hey brah," Wayne says while looking at Chris. "I'm so excited to be back! I want to become a multi millionaire!"

"I'm surprised you even became a millionaire once, I doubt you'll do it twice." Taylor says while rolling her eyes, again making rude comments.

Wayne takes that as banter and not a genuine insult, though it was unbeknownst to him. "Oh yeah? Well you won't be saying that when Rajie and I CRUSH you, right Raj- Raj?"

Taylor rolls her eyes, and looks at Raj and Bowie, who are talking with Emma, away from Wayne.

"OMG BOWIE HI!" Emma shrieks, excited to see her friend!

"Hey girl, it's always good to see you!" Bowie replies happily.

"We are going to SLAY this season!" Emma says. Eva's eye twitches at hearing "slay." Emma and Bowie hug, prompting Chase to look annoyed

Cut to Bowie, Wayne, and Raj being interviewed by Don

"So, the three of you are quite a notable trio from TDI23 and TDI24. Wayne, you won the million dollars in what some would say is a fluke victory, a lot of people call you the worst winner this show has ever seen. Thoughts on that opinion?"

Wayne shrugs. "Meh, who cares, I won a million dollars! I would rather be a fluke winner with money than a great player who fell short, haha!"

Raj frowns when he hears Wayne say this, while Bowie looks flat out annoyed. Don however likes this answer. "Very fair point Wayne."

"Well I still think I should've taken the crown over Priya in 2023, but whatever…" Bowie says, still wishing things went differently in the finale of that season.

"Well speaking of TDI 2023, you and Raj got together in that season! Evidently, you are still together. How has that been going?" Don asks.

Bowie smiles at the chance to talk about his relationship. "It's been going great Don! I am doing Basketball and Raj is doing Hockey in college, we try to see each other as often as possible since we don't live together yet."

Raj laughs and puts his arm around Bowie's shoulder while scooting away from Wayne. "I can't wait until we do live together though, that would be so-"

"Yeah, that's great, haha." Wayne interrupts in a dry tone. For the next ten seconds, everyone in the room is silent and just staring at Wayne.

"Um ok…" Don says, trying to steer the conversation back on track. "Raj. How was life after Total Drama?"

"Like Bowie said, it has been incredible. I have my boyfriend, best friend, and hockey right now! Everyone was so accepting despite my fears during 2023!" Raj says happily.

"Well that's good. I would like to know your opinion on being closely associated with two people who had finale placements… Do you feel a bit inferior in comparison?" Don asks.

Raj looks upset for a moment, but smiles again quickly. "Uh nope, not at all… really, I don't!" Bowie frowns in concern while Wayne looks confused.

Cut to Chris

"Alright, we won't stop with these 23/24 couples, because here is the co runner up of TDI24 Caleb, and the winner of TDI23, Priya!" Chris says. Priya practically flies out of the plane while Caleb is trying to catch up with her. Priya is clearly ecstatic and she's shaking.

"This is so exciting… and so scary… and so OMG!" Priya says, unable to contain her excitement.

"Woah Priya, someone seems excited to be here!" Chris says, stating the obvious.

"100 contestants… this has never happened before, there is no way I could have prepared for this, but seeing all of my favorites will be so-" Priya continues before being cut off.

"Alright we get it, you're a fan. Move along, we don't have all day." Chris says while gesturing to her to keep walking.

"Don't be rude Chris." Caleb says with a stern look. "Let's go Priya."

Caleb and Priya join everyone else, then Chris pipes up again. "Also, here is 3rd place in TDI 23, Millie!"

Millie walks in and Priya smiles at seeing her. "Millie!"

"Priya, it's been months!" Millie replies. They run to each other and hug, happy to see each other.

"Sorry for not visiting," Priya says. "I've been busy with Caleb-"

"Don't worry, I understand!"

Cut to Caleb and Priya being interviewed by Don

"Hello you two! After TDI24, you two have seemingly continued to date. How has your relationship been?"

"It's been really good ever since we cleared things up after the whole… Julia fiasco in our season!" Priya says.

"Yeah, that caused a lot of conflict between us…" Caleb says with an uneasy expression, thinking of the bad arguments he and Priya got into due to misunderstandings.

"I may or may not have taken things too far when I thought Caleb was against me, but we're good now!" Priya says.

"Yeah…" Don says, ready to move on. "Anyways Priya, you talked about wanting to go to med school as your dream. Did you do this?"

"Um no, I've been doing the reality tv circuit like my parents wanted me to. I've done shows like "The Challenger" and "Big Sister!"... though I haven't won any of those because I got betrayed- urgh!" Priya says, getting frustrated at thinking of her runs on those shows.

"Woah, calm down… I thought you said that if you won Total Drama, your parents would let you go to med school. What happened to that?" Don inquires.

"They changed their mind." Priya says. "But I'm happy with what I'm doing now, don't worry!

Cut to Millie being interviewed by Don

"Millie, you had your fair share of controversial moments in your seasons. What were your thoughts on the fan backlash you received?"

"I may consider myself less judgmental about Gen Z now, but wow my generation feels way too comfortable hurling insults at people they don't even know! The stuff I read about myself online was insane, but their opinions don't matter… that much." Millie says, cringing at the end of her sentence.

"Good mindset to have. Anyways, do you still feel any guilt about the notebook from TDI23 or shoving Damien down the slide in TDI24?" Don asks.

"Of course, but I can't hold onto that forever. Damien and Priya forgave me for those incidents." Millie responds.

"Speaking of Priya, you said she was the closest friend you've made in your life. How is your relationship with her now?"

Millie takes a few seconds to answer. "Um… good! We still talk a decent amount, it is just a lot less than it was after TDI23. She's been so busy with reality tv, and when she isn't doing that, she's with Caleb! I get that she should prioritize her boyfriend, but it's a bit disappointing. Damien and Caleb have become closer too, so I feel a bit on the outs in our friend group… I'm ranting, aren't I?"

"A little, but thanks for keeping us up to date!"

Cut to Chris

"Here is a duo that were the first eliminated from the Ridonculous Race, Leonard and Tammy!" Chris says. Leonard and Tammy walk out, looking very confident for first boots.

"Huzzah, we are back!" Leonard says, raising his arms triumphantly.

"Hey everyone!" Tammy says to a bunch of confused faces.

…

"Who the fuck are you?" Anne Maria asks with a confused look on her face.

Tammy seems shocked by what Anne Maria said. "Huh?"

Anne Maria continues with the same look on her face. "Like… who the fuck are you?"

"I'm Tammy from Ridonculous, don't you remember?" Tammy says.

"I watched Ridonculous Race, I have no memory of a Tammy, what the hell is happening here?" Anne Maria asks.

Tammy looks upset. "You're joking right?"

Bowie pipes up. "Erm I have to agree with Anne on this one, I don't remember you either."

"Did someone cast a memory loss spell on you all, how could you forget Tammy?" Leonard asks in disbelief.

Cut to Leonard and Tammy being interviewed by Don

"Leonard, Tammy, hello. You two were the first boots in the Ridonculous Race due to you trying to use magic, thoughts on that incident?"

Leonard shakes his head at the memory, unhappy at what went wrong. "We only lost because there was something wrong with my stick!"

"We were robbed, but we have a whole new list of spells to cast on the competition, so we will not go out early this time!" Tammy adds.

Cut to Chris

"Here is the first boot of Pahkitew Island, Beardo!" Chris says. Beardo makes sound effects of upbeat music as he walks out of the plane. "Ah, how I did not miss hearing you do that at all!"

Beardo just frowns and walks off as a response.

Cut to Beardo being interviewed by Don

"Hello Beardo. Do you have any thoughts going into this season?" Don asks.

Beardo makes a noise that indicates no.

"Well this was a great interview." Don says sarcastically, annoyed at this flop of an interview that had no information.

Cut to Chris

"Alright, now introducing the hosts of the Total Drama Aftermath, Geoff and Bridgette!" Chris says. Geoff and Bridgette walk out in good spirits.

"Hey guys!" Geoff says, upbeat as ever.

"Hey Geoff, hey Bridgette, it's so good to see you, congrats to you guys!" Owen says, happy for his friends.

Nichelle raises an eyebrow, out of the loop. "Congrats to them on what?"

"Wow Nichelle didn't you hear? They're engaged!" Emma says excitedly, being happy to see a couple work out.

"Ok." Nichelle replies, not really caring. Emma just raises an eyebrow to this.

"Thanks Owen! This season coming up kinda postponed our wedding plans, but it will be cool to see everyone again!" Bridgette says, making pleasantries with her old castmates.

"Wow it's one of the original couples now engaged… we could be engaged one day too Caleb!" Priya says hopefully, leaning her head onto Caleb.

"So can we… right Emma?" Chase says, smiling at her. Emma almost opens her mouth, but Bowie puts his hand on her shoulder and she gets the message not to say anything.

Suddenly, Brody walks out of the plane and high fives Geoff. "I'm so excited for the wedding bro!"

Geoff laughs. "Thanks dude! I am going to win this season and blow all the prize money on the best wedding ever!"

Cut to Geoff and Bridgette being interviewed by Don

"So, we should talk about what EVERYONE is talking about when it comes to you two! You announced recently that you're engaged, thoughts on the response to your news?"

"It's been great!" Bridgette says. "Almost everyone has been sending great vibes and kind messages to us, I'm blown away."

"Yeah everyone has been great… except Blaineley." Geoff says while chuckling.

"Who cares what she thinks?" Bridgette says.

"True."

"I met her before, not a nice lady… but that isn't the point." Don says, being annoyed thinking about Blaineley. "Bridgette, you were the first woman eliminated from Total Drama Action AND Total Drama World Tour. Are you worried about lightning striking three times?"

"Harsh question, but no. I don't see myself getting eliminated before some of the other girls… no offense to them of course." Bridgette says.

"To both of you, are you worried competing together will harm your games? In Action, you both got eliminated first for kissing." Don asks.

"The relationship was still new then, so we kissed a lot more and wanted to never leave each other's side. We will be fine this time, we need to be focused because I'm not going cheap on the wedding!" Geoff says.

Cut to Brody being interviewed by Don

"Hello Brody, my favorite Ridonculous Race contestant!" Don says with a smile.

"Aw, thanks Don!" Brody replies happily.

"You're welcome. So, you and Geoff got 2nd in the Ridonculous Race. Did that loss upset you?"

"Nah, we had to return to even get that far, so I wasn't too bummed though the money would've come in handy."

"You and McArthur sort of had a thing going on, what happened to that?"

Brody looks upset at the mention of McArthur. "I don't want to talk about that… I'm just happy Geoff's relationship worked out, that's all I'm gonna say."

Cut to Chris

"Next up is the CIT herself, Courtney!" Chris says.

"AHEM!" Courtney says from the plane. She walks out while Chris has a confused look on his face. "That is a C to you. That's right, I'm now a full-on counselor!"

"End of an era." Chris responds with an eye roll while Owen gasps at the information Courtney shared.

"Hi everyone!" Courtney says to the contestants who have already arrived. She mostly gets uneasy or annoyed looks in response, which makes her shoulders drop. "Alright then."

Cut to Courtney getting interviewed by Don

"Hello Courtney, you are certainly a bit of a controversial person from this show." Don says.

Courtney gives a bitter laugh. "You can say that again…"

"How has your life been since All Stars?" Don asks.

"Success wise, I have been doing pretty well. I graduated from Harvard, and I am a counselor! Relationship wise… um, it hasn't been great. People from this show don't want anything to do with me, other than one person I met outside of the show." Courtney says.

"Why do you think that is?"

"I want to say that it is just because they can't handle my competitive nature, but with self-reflection I know that I did a lot wrong too. I'd like to forget everything with Duncan ever happened. I treated Lindsay and Beth like crap in Action, and I could've done things better with Scott." Courtney says with a guilty look as she lists her Total Drama criminal record.

"Do you have regrets for those actions?"

"Well yeah… I could have a lot more friends if I just chilled out. I didn't even win the money, so I really got nothing from Total Drama." Courtney reflects.

"Fair. However, I noticed that you didn't mention Gwen. What about her?"

Courtney hesitates before answering. "I'm unsure how to feel. She hasn't wanted to speak to me since All Stars and I regret the stuff with the chart, but I don't really like how demonized I was that season."

Don raises an eyebrow. "What do you mean?"

"Sure, I made a chart and lied to Gwen about wanting to go to the end with her, I'll admit that wasn't the nicest thing to do… but it was a game for a million dollars, I still liked her as a person, and I was treated as if I committed a crime! All I was doing was trying to win." Courtney says.

"Hm, I don't think I've seen that point get brought up before." Don says. "Would you like to talk to Gwen this season?"

"I hope we do get to talk; I want to know how she's doing."

Cut to Chris

"Alright, here are Ryan and Stephanie!" Chris says. Ryan and Stephanie walk out, admiring the artificial island.

"Wow, this place looks cool!" Ryan says.

"True babe!" Stephanie says while hugging Ryan. Some contestants look worried that they'll start kissing like they did on Ridonculous. Stephanie breaks her hug from Ryan and walks up to her friend. "Hi Eva!"

"Hi Steph, how are you?" Eva asks.

"Good, Ryan and I have been promoting our energy drinks around the country, this competition will give us some time to slow down!"

Cut to Ryan and Stephanie being interviewed by Don

"Hello Haters-" Don tries to say before getting cut off.

"You mean daters. Get it right." Stephanie says, annoyance dripping from her voice.

"Yeesh, I wasn't being serious using that old name. Anyways, how have your lives been since the Ridonculous Race?"

"Pretty good, we have become top fitness influencers!" Ryan replies.

"Yeah, we've started some products like our energy drinks that you can buy at-" Stephanie starts to stay.

"This isn't the place for your advertising." Don says. "Anyways, you two got into a lot of conflict during the race. Do you worry that being put back in a competitive environment would do harm to your relationship?"

Stephanie grimaces. "Um… we weren't THAT bad."

Don chuckles. "Really?"

Stephanie's eyes narrow in response. "Ok maybe I was a bit much-"

Don cuts in. "Borderline abusive?"

"We are done here!'

Cut to Chris

"Here is Sammy!" Chris says. Sammy walks in, wearing gray sweatpants and an oversized shirt, a stark contrast from her look in Pahkitew Island. "Wow, someone looks rough!"

Sammy doesn't get angry. "Haha, hilarious." she retorts sarcastically, then she looks behind her to see Jasmine and Shawn following her out of the plane. "Hey Jasmine, hey Shawn!"

Sammy, Shawn, and Jasmine share a group hug. "It's so good to see you, Sammy!" Jasmine says.

"Have you been doing okay?" Shawn asks.

"I've been better, but thanks for asking." Sammy says gratefully.

Cut to Sammy being interviewed by Don

"Sammy, your family feud with Amy was very much on display during Pahkitew Island. How has your life been since standing up to your twin sister?"

Sammy sighs before talking. "Not great. My family as always sided with Amy, and I got kicked out of the house once Pahkitew Island finished airing."

Don looks surprised and stumbles his words a bit before continuing. "Oh… um… what have you been doing since then?"

"Jasmine was so kind, she and her family took me in until I turned 18 and they helped me start college in Canada, where I'm trying to get a degree." Sammy answers.

"You lived with Jasmine?"

"Yup, she's my best friend." Sammy says with a smile, thankful for all that Jasmine has done for her. "I bonded a lot with Shawn too actually, he's taught me a lot of stuff I didn't think I would want to know about! Did you know that zombies-"

"Don't want to know, I'm sure I will hear enough about zombies when I get to him." Don cuts in. "How has your life been affected by essentially being shunned by your family?"

"I'm grateful for Shawn and Jasmine, but I just feel mentally exhausted after all these years. College is becoming a lot and… I don't know, I'm just hoping that I win this." Sammy says, the mental exhaustion she mentioned evident just looking at her.

"What are your thoughts on playing with Amy again?"

"I really don't want to see her, but I will make sure I outlast her!"

Cut to Shawn and Jasmine being interviewed by Don

"Hey Shawn and Jasmine. Shawn, you won Pahkitew Island! What did you do with the prize money?"

"I split half of the money with Jasmine like I promised I would." Shawn says, smiling at Jasmine.

Jasmine smiles back. "Roses are red, bruises are blue is doing great!"

"And my zombie bunker, while not as big as I originally planned, has protected Jasmine and I from the zombies quite nicely!" Shawn says, looking proud of himself despite the fact that no zombies are coming.

"Yeah… we are totally at risk." Jasmine says, knowing that Shawn doesn't believe anything different than an apocalypse being inevitable. "Anyways, we moved in together once we both turned 18 and graduated high school, and we put our dreams into motion after I helped Sammy out."

"Good to hear you're both doing well. Jasmine, do you have any resentment towards Shawn for calling your business idea dumb?"

Jasmine just shrugs. "I got over it literally the same day I heard what he said."

Shawn puts a hand on Jasmine's shoulder, though he knows Jasmine has long forgiven him. "And I can fully admit now that her idea rules! The more people who learn to fight, the more people that can try and help when the zombies invade!"

Cut to Chris

"Time to bring the average age of this cast up, it is Gerry and Pete!" Chris jokes. Gerry and Pete walk out, and Jay looks at the older men and then at Chris.

"Um…"

"What's wrong Jay?" Chris asks.

"I just realized that Pete looks like your dad." Jay replies awkwardly.

"W- what?" Chris said, baffled by what Jay said.

"I have no idea what that kid's talkin' about!" Pete says while laughing.

"Yeah! The closest thing you've had to a son was a tennis ball that you drew a face on and named Connor!" Gerry adds on.

"He was a GREAT son, thank you very much!" Pete retorts.

"Oh please, one time you hit him so hard with a racket, he looked like a waffle for a week!" Gerry says, causing both men to erupt with laughter.

When Pete stops laughing, he talks again. "Fine, you win. But I would've been GREAT as a real dad!"

"HA! You couldn't be a dad even if you TRIED! No woman would want to get with someone whose head is five times the size of their neck!"

"At least I have a defined jawline! Have you SEEN some of these kids? I can't tell where their head ends and their body starts!"

They laugh again, and Chris glares at them, tired of their banter. They take the hint, shut up, and join the rest of the cast.

Cut to Gerry and Pete being interviewed by Don

"Gerry and Pete, you were eliminated very early in the Ridonculous Race due to falling asleep. Are you worried about making careless mistakes like that again?"

Pete fake snores in nudges Pete while laughing. He 'wakes up'. "I'm sorry, what did you say?"

Don groans. "Are you worried about making careless mistakes?"

"What? We can't hear you!" Gerry says.

Don's anger quickly rises. "CARELESS MISTAKES!" he yells.

The Tennis Rivals begin laughing at Don, then they leave, making Don more upset.

Cut to Chris

"I sure hope we don't regret inviting this one back… Scarlett everyone!" Chris says. Scarlett calmly walks out, which causes Mickey, Jay, and Owen to start panicking.

"IS SHE GONNA KILL US?"

"GET HER OUT OF HERE!"

"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"

"SHUT UP!" Eva yells, tired of the others being in fear.

"Eva…" Stephanie says in a mildly scolding tone, obviously not wanting her to make enemies. Eva realizes what she said and shuts up before people get offended.

"Didn't this girl try to kill people?" Caleb asks, concerned as to Scarlett being here.

"Uh yeah, she did!" Shawn says angrily.

"I know you were dead set on inviting every past player back, but couldn't you have made an exception here? That varmint was seconds away from blowing us up!" Jasmine says, even more upset than Shawn. The couple both were nearly victims of Scarlett, so they have a lot of hate for her.

Scarlett simply rolls her eyes at the comments from the contestants. "Oh, relax you babies, I won't be able to do that again."

Cut to Scarlett being interviewed by Don

"Hey Scarlett, you're an interesting case for sure… so, why did you try to kill everyone?" Don says casually like it's an everyday question.

Scarlett scoffs. "Because I wanted the money, what do you think?"

Don scoffs to mirror Scarlett. "Ok rude, how has prison been treating ya?"

"It's been great, no one tries to talk to me because they're afraid, so I have a lot of time to myself." Scarlett says while chuckling.

"Thinking of schemes to break out I'd assume." Don snarkily replies. "Anyways, what are your thoughts on this season?"

"I would say that I don't stand a chance, but half the people who are cast to be on this show are completely moronic- and half is being generous, I'd say I have a chance to get far."

Cut to Chris

"Are you ready to Rock? It's Rock and Spud, The Rockers from Ridonculous Race!" Chris says in a mock rocker voice that makes everyone cringe.

…

"Never do an intro like that again." Ryan says. Chris just glares at Ryan as The Rockers walk in.

"Welcome Rockers, how are ya?" Chris asks.

Rock smiles. "Good!"

…

…

…

"Good." Spud says after a long delay.

Cut to Rock and Spud being interviewed by Don

"Rock and Spud, you two did surprisingly alright… however, this is a new environment with a new set of rules compared to Ridonculous Race. How do y'all think you'll adapt?"

"I'm pretty used to being social around others, this game shouldn't be too hard!" Rock says confidently.

…

…

"I dunno man…" Spud adds on with a shrug. Don just rolls his eyes.

Cut to Chris

"Here is Lindsay, Beth, and Tyler!" Chris says. All of a sudden, Topher walks out of the plane with a red carpet, and he rolls it down. Lindsay, Beth, and Tyler emerge from the plane once he's done, and the trio walk down. Beth and Tyler are wearing casual clothing, but Lindsay is now wearing a golden fur coat. The flashy entrance gets mixed reactions from the other players.

"Why didn't I get a red carpet?" Taylor asks, annoyed at not being the star of the show.

"Uh, why is Topher with them?" Sammy asks, confused. On a more positive note for the trio, Bowie and Emma are squealing, which gets Raj's attention.

"Why are you so excited, Bowie?" Raj asks.

"That is the #1 supermodel in the world, Lindsay! I talk about her all the time, how could you forget? She was an amazing guest on RuPaul's Drag Race recently!" Bowie says, excitement clear in his tone.

Raj laughs awkwardly. "Oh, I don't pay attention to RuPaul's Drag Race…" Bowie laughs in response, not upset.

"OMG OMG she is even more beautiful in person!" Emma says, looking like she is about to faint in joy at seeing a celebrity she loves.

Lindsay waves. "Hey guys, I am so excited to be back at Camp Wawanakwa!"

Beth taps Lindsay's shoulder. "Lindsay, this is Pahkitew Island!"

"Huh." Lindsay says, dumbfounded.

Beth just sighs, then laughs a little, used to this behavior from Lindsay. "Nevermind… Hey guys!"

"Hello! Long time no party!" Geoff says in response. Tyler runs up to Geoff to talk about sports, as Topher picks up the red carpet that he previously laid out.

Cut to Lindsay and Tyler being interviewed by Don

"Lindsay, you have been very successful post Total Drama. You're a top supermodel, you're in tv shows, movies, you have your own lip gloss line, tell us how this success has changed your life."

"It's been so great, now I don't have to work so I can spend all day with Beth and Taylor!" Lindsay says happily, hugging her friend and boyfriend.

"Don't you mean Tyler?" Don asks, wondering if he misunderstood.

"That's what I said!" Lindsay responds.

"…not worth arguing over." Don decides. "Tyler, what about you? How have you been?"

"For some reason I just can't seem to make it in a major sports league despite me being a major athlete." Tyler says, sounding dejected before brightening up and looking at Lindsay. "I'm happy for Lindsay's success, but I hope to find my own soon! Maybe winning this game could be that!"

Lindsay hugs Tyler. "I know you could win this Tyler!"

"Aw thanks!"

Cut to Beth being interviewed by Don

"Hello Beth. You came very close to winning Total Drama Action, then we never saw you compete again. After 7 years away, how do you plan on competing this time?"

"Well, I'm more mature and have more life experience and adventures under my belt! Brady and I broke up, but I did learn a lot from him. I think not being the same girl I was in TDI and TDA will help me a lot." Beth says.

"How has your friendship with Lindsay been?"

"We've been very close. Once you get arrested in Paris together, you're besties for life! I hope us two and Tyler make it to the final 3!" Beth says hopefully.

Cut to Topher being interviewed by Don

"Topher… last time we saw you in the major spotlight was when you were trying to take Chris McLean's job- don't try to take anyone's job again please." Don jokes. Topher rolls his eyes in response to this joke, unimpressed at the reminder of his public failures during Pahkitew Island. "However, in the past week this all changed, as the news broke that you are now Lindsay's assistant! How did this come about?"

"Well after Pahkitew Island, I tried to get some hosting gigs, but I was laughed out of the room each time I tried. Lindsay's assistant recently got fired, so I just said "fuck it" and asked to be her new assistant on Twitter." Topher says.

"And it worked that easily?" Don asks, surprised at how simple it sounded.

"Yup."

Don looks confused. "Do you even have any qualifications to help?"

Topher shrugs. "No, but I said I loved lip gloss, so I got the job."

"Well… ok then. Why did you want to be Lindsay's new assistant?" Don asks.

"To get back into the spotlight, duh. I want to show the world that I am talented and that I STILL AM A BETTER CHOICE AS HOST THAN THAT FOSSIL CHRIS!" Topher says angrily, clearly still bitter.

Cut to Chris

"Next up is Izzy!" Chris says.

…

"Izzy?"

Izzy is standing on top of the plane. "How the hell did you get up there?!" Chris asks in disbelief.

"IZZY'S A BIRD!" Izzy shouts out, not answering the question. She proceeds to jump off the plane, landing on Owen.

"Owie!" Owen screams in pain, but then he realizes that it's Izzy and is happy to see her. "Hey Izzy, how are ya?"

"Hi Owen, I'm doing great!" Izzy replies enthusiastically.

"You're insane…" Chris mutters.

"I'm so excited to be back, it will be so fun to take a break from being chased down by the RCMP again!" Izzy laughs.

Chris sighs. "What did you do this time?"

"I'm not saying! Also, hi Chef!" Izzy says, her expression turning into a malicious one when she sees Chef.

"Oh no…" Chef says with a worried expression.

Cut to Izzy being interviewed by Don

"Izzy-"

"Ok you seem cool, so I'll tell you all the crimes I've committed since you last saw me!"

Don looks concerned. "Um… ok."

"So, it all started when I wanted revenge on the military for pulling me from the game…"

Cut to Chris

"These next two have had the longest layoff in competing, Katie and Sadie!" Chris says. Sadie and Katie walk out with the matching green they had in the TDA celebrity manhunt.

"Omg Katie I am so totally like excited to be back!"

"Omg like same Sadie, we have waited far too long for this opportunity!"

"EEK TRUE! We are going to slay this season!"

"Omg we should rename you to Slaydie!"

"OMG WE TOTALLY SHOULD!"

"SHUT UP!" many people yell, fed up with the annoying duo.

"EEK!" both shriek in response.

Cut to Katie and Sadie being interviewed by Don

"Katie and Sadie, you both only competed in Total Drama Island and were both premergers there. Are you excited to be back?"

"EEK we totally are! I was totally eliminated in a stinky way!" Katie says, bitterness emerging in her tone.

"Yeah, we loved blueberries and got into a fight, but we are like besties for the resties and had to stick together!" Sadie says.

"We went to college together even, that's how much we stick together!" Katie says, proud of her friendship.

"Um alright. Are you worried you'll get into arguments again?" Don asks.

"We will not fight ever again!" Katie proclaims.

"Yeah, we haven't fought ever since the time that Katie accidentally bought me the wrong type of donut a few years back." Sadie says.

"Why are you bringing that up again Sadie?"

"I WANTED SPRINKLES ON MY DONUT!"

"I WAS TRYING TO GET YOU THE HEALTHIER OPTION"

"EEK HOW DARE YOU SAY THAT!"

During the argument, Don is covering his ears and cringing at their voices.

Cut to Chris

"Next up is this memorable trio. The runner up of Revenge of the Island Cameron, the runner up of All Stars Mike, and the winner of All Stars Zoey!" Chris says. The friendship trio makes their way out of the plane, and Cameron looks around in awe.

"Wow, being at a technological marvel like Pahkitew Island is so riveting!" Cameron says.

"I know right? I'm so stoked to be back, I'm glad we are doing this again like I suggested!" Mike says happily.

"Oh right, you actually like competing… that makes one of us." Zoey says with a grimace, her "no" response at the end of All Stars when Mike said they should play again being in vain.

Cut to Mike and Zoey being interviewed by Don

"Mike, Zoey, you two are one of the most iconic couples in the Total Drama franchise. How is your relationship going now?"

"It's been great since All Stars, we barely have any struggles in our relationship now that we have moved in together. The worst thing is just constantly seeing us slandered online." Zoey says with a frown.

Mike puts a hand on her shoulder. "Yeah, we didn't edit the seasons to give a major focus on us, blame Chris!"

"Well, you can cry to the bank Zoey, as you won the biggest- and most controversial- season ever in one of the most dominant physical games the show has ever seen. You were the main person to help your team win in 3 pre merge challenges, with one of those helping you score in one of your few challenge losses, then you won the last 4 post merge challenges, so 7/13 episodes in All Stars had you be the challenge MVP. Are you worried that reputation will carry over into this season, making you a threat?" Don says.

Zoey widens her eyes, only just realizing how dominant she was in All Stars. "I feel like all the winners will be targeted in general, which makes me nervous, but I'll hope for the best. If we have to return, Mike and I making the finale again would be ideal!"

"What we want the most this time since we already made the finale is just some new experiences. I haven't played a season without my personalities or Camp Wawanakwa yet, so it's new in a way already!" Mike adds.

Cut to Cameron

"Cameron, you went through a lot of growth throughout your time on Total Drama. You started off the game as a bubble boy and exited as a runner up. How have you been doing since All Stars?"

"I've been doing great! I finally got to start living a life outside of my it's so liberating to be able to be like a normal person, I have even gotten involved in entomology." Cameron says.

"Entomology?" Don asks, not knowing what that is.

Cameron nods. "I study insects, it's been really fascinating!"

Cut to Chris

"Here are the emos- I mean the goths, Crimson and Ennui!" Chris says.

Crimson and Ennui walk out of the plane, emotionless as ever. Crimson stares at Chris. "Whatever."

"Aren't you two excited?" Chris asks, noting the duo's lack of emotion.

"No." Ennui says blankly.

Cut to Crimson and Ennui being interviewed by Don

"Oh yay, it's my favorite two contestants…" Don says sarcastically, memories of their lack of enthusiasm during the race coming back to him. "You made a surprisingly good run in Ridonculous Race, do you think that you'll adapt well to this new game format?"

"Not really." Crimson says.

…

Don groans. "Come on, can you two show ANY enthusiasm for petes sake, I can't deal with this again!"

Cut to Chris

"Now for the third couple I'm introducing in a row… geeze, the people on this show are slutty!" Chris says to shocked reactions from everyone, no one expecting him to say something like that. "Here are Noah and Emma!"

Noah, Emma, and Kitty walk out together, with the latter giving Chris a disapproving stare. "Don't forget about me Chris." Kitty says.

"Oh right… Here is Kitty too." Chris replies, sounding very unapologetic. Owen, seeing Noah, runs up to him and squeezes him with a big hug.

"Buddy, it has been far too long!" Owen cries out.

"Ow, you're crushing me!" Noah says, in pain but with a smile on his face at seeing Owen again.

"Let go of him Owen!" Emma says in a serious tone, not wanting her boyfriend to be medically evacuated from Owen's hug on Day 1.

"Oh sorry, I got excited!" Owen says, letting Noah go.

Kitty smiles at seeing Owen, Noah, and Emma together. She takes out her phone and motions the other three to join her. "We're all back together, let's take a group selfie!"

Click!

Cut to EmmaRR and Noah being interviewed by Don

"Noah, Emma, you two have been together since the Ridonculous Race. How have your lives been since that season?"

"I never thought I would fall to the standards of someone like Cody and fall head over heels for someone during a reality show… but I'm glad I did. I'm working at a library currently while Emma recently finished law school. We are planning to move in together soon." Noah says.

"Yup, even though I didn't win the Ridonculous Race, I was able to finish my education." Emma says proudly, happy to have completed her goal. "Also, funny story about law school since she's on this season, but I met Courtney while studying, she was cool."

"Only person to ever say Courtney is cool…." Noah quickly replies, snarky as ever. Emma elbows him lightly as a response, not upset.

"What is your motivation to compete?" Don asks, shifting the topic.

"I have a lot of student debt to pay off." Emma says, straight to the point.

"I was forced to be here due to the contracts, that's the only reason that I'm back… but I'm happy to see Owen again, we haven't seen each other in a while." Noah adds.

Cut to Kitty being interviewed by Don

"Hello Kitty. You and Emma got 4th place in the Ridonculous Race and were a fan favorite team with your sister. You've been blowing up since your appearance on the show online, tell me about that."

"Yup, I'm a travel influencer! I love traveling and it's my passion in life, getting paid to do what I love has been great." Kitty says, joy pouring out of her.

"Are there any downsides to it?" Don asks. Kitty frowns after he asks this.

"Yes… Julia from TDI 23 and 24 is also an influencer and is so annoying! She constantly has been making hate videos towards my travel content. If we're on the same team, I'd take her out so quickly…" Kitty says with a scowl.

"Interesting. How do you think you'll play with your sister in a game where only one person could win?"

"I think Noah will be her priority, and I'm happy for her. She's truly happy, she paid for law school, she's over Jake, and we've been closer than ever despite our jobs. I hope we both do well, and even though only one can win, we will still try to help each other." Kitty replies.

Cut to Chris

"Everyone welcome DJ!" Chris says. DJ walks out and almost everyone claps, much to Chris' shock. "Wow, people actually welcomed the person I said to welcome."

"We all like DJ." Geoff says with a shrug.

DJ smiles at the compliment. "Aw, thanks guys!"

Cut to DJ being interviewed by Don

"DJ, you hold an interesting place in Total Drama history. You've never properly been voted out of the game despite competing in three seasons." Don says.

"Hm, never thought about that." DJ replies.

"Well, now you know. You seemed to be terrified to even be back on Total Drama during your cameo on Revenge of the Island, why are you so calm now?"

"I've been trying to get over my fears ever since I've been off of Total Drama… it hasn't 100% worked, but I've been trying to live life to the fullest, being friends with Geoff has helped in that department." DJ says.

"You've also been a professional chef. How has that been?"

DJ smiles. "Mama and I's restaurant chain has been doing so well, I'm thankful for everyone who visits! If you also want to visit, go to-"

"No advertising!" Don cuts in.

Cut to Chris

"Next up is the original winner of Total Drama, Gwen!" Chris says. Gwen walks out and sees Zoey, causing her to lighten up.

"Hi Zoey!" Gwen says with a smile. "I guess I did come back to this show even though I didn't want to."

Zoey laughs. "Hopefully we get to be on the same team!"

Courtney pipes up. "Hey Gwen…"

Tension fills the island right away, and everyone notices how awkward it is. "Hi Courtney…" Gwen replies. Right after, awkward silence ensues.

Cut to Gwen being interviewed by Don

"Gwen, you are a big deal in Total Drama history. You were the first person to ever win this game. You've kept a mostly low profile post Total Drama All Stars, any reason as to why?" Don asks, beginning to sip his coffee as Gwen answers.

"I've had more than enough drama on this show, no need to be a major public figure, I was spending my time on college and art instead. I've had two boyfriends and a close friendship all fall out with millions of people watching. For my social life, I just tried to maintain some of the friendships I had and didn't try to do much more with one exception. I'm close with Zoey, Mike, Cameron, Leshawna, and Heather now-"

Don spits his coffee out. "HEATHER?"

Gwen raises an eyebrow at his reaction. "Um yeah… we actually sued production together for our prize money being lost or forcefully taken away, it was her idea. We aren't "besties" or anything, but we have squashed a lot of our beef."

"Do you think you can squash your beef with let's say Duncan or Courtney?"

"I feel burned by both, but I'm not going to spend my life hating them, it's not worth the energy. At the same time though, I don't want to dedicate myself to repairing relationships, that idea blew up in my face last time. I'm not too sure, but we'll see what happens." Gwen says.

Cut to Chris

"Here is the married couple from the Ridonculous Race, Carrie and Devin!" Chris says. Carrie and Devin walk out holding hands. "Are you two ready for this season?"

"You bet we're excited, right homie?" Devin asks Carrie.

"You bet!" Carrie says back.

"You two still call each other homie?" Chris says while laughing. "You're married now!"

"We've been doing it for so long, it's second nature." Devin says casually. Kitty walks up to Devin and Carrie with a guilty look on her face.

"Hey Carrie, hey Devin… I'm glad to see you're okay now Devin, again I'm sorry-"

Devin cuts her off with a smile. "Don't worry Kitty, I know it wasn't your fault."

Cut to Devin and Carrie being interviewed by Don

"Hello former Best Friends. You got married just two months after the Ridonculous Race while Devin was still in the hospital. Did y'all ever think that maybe it was too quick?"

Carrie laughs at the question. "No, I've known we were soulmates since that fateful day in the sandbox."

"Not obsessive at all… anyways, do you hold any grudges towards anyone for how you got eliminated from the race?"

Devin shakes his head. "No. I don't blame Emma and Kitty for my injury, I'm just grateful to be alive and with the woman of my dreams!"

Carrie and Devin look each other in the eyes, causing Don to intervene before anything happens.

"Get out before you start kissing in here!"

Cut to Chris

"Here is someone completely annoying! You're gonna love him Scarlett, it's Max!" Chris says, laughing at Scarlett.

Scarlett, without changing her neutral facial expression, replies. "Oh fuck you".

Max walks in with a grin on his face. "Muahahaha! I am back and all of you are in danger! YOU HEAR ME?" Everyone looks at Max like he's stupid for this, but no one makes any comments. "Scarlett, you are in danger most of all, be warned!"

Scarlett simply scowls in response, which causes him to run away and hide in the crowd.

Cut to Max being interviewed by Don

"Max, I-"

"Shut it fool and cower in my presence!" Max booms, attempting an evil laugh but just managing to cough. Don just stares at Max, dumbfounded that someone like him exists. Max recovers from his coughing fit. "…well, aren't you going to do it?"

"No."

"Grr, you are going down!" Max says angrily. He stands up and looks like he will run towards Don. However, Don glares at him, scaring Max into running out of the interview room.

Cut to Chris

"Continuing the trend of annoying Pahkitew Island contestants-"

"Like 80% of the cast?" Noah cuts in, eliciting some laughter from some of the other players.

"Ok true… but don't interrupt me… EVER! Anyways, here is Sugar." Chris says. Sugar runs out of the plane.

"HELL YEAH, I'M BACK! THE WINNER OF THIS SEASON IS HERE Y'ALL!" Sugar says loudly, annoying some of her competition off the bat.

"Shut it you pig!" Taylor says in disgust while looking at Sugar, again resorting to fat shaming.

Sugar gasps. "Oh hell naw, you don't call Sugar a pig and get away with it!"

Sugar is about to tackle Taylor, but Chris pipes up. "Ladies calm down, there is plenty of time for drama later!"

Cut to Sugar being interviewed by Don

"Hello Sugar, so in-"

"Shut it fool! If you want to see more of Sugar, and I know ya do, check out here comes Sugar Boo Boo on the TLC channel! You get to see an in depth look of life on my farm!" Sugar says with a smile.

Don looks confused, baffled as to what he just heard. "…who would want to watch that?"

"EVERYONE YA COW UTERUS!" Sugar says angrily, causing Don to be speechless at the insult. "Anyways, I'm gonna win this pageant cause I'm pretty damn good if ya couldn't tell! If you ain't betting on Sugar, then you're betting wrong! If you thought I could play dirty last time, you ain't seen nothing yet!"

Cut to Chris

"Here are the winners of the Ridonculous Race… Sanders and MacArthur!" Chris says. The Cadets run out of the plane, and the Hockey Bros gasp in realization.

"Woah bro, it's the lady who had those scary dogs!" Wayne says.

"Does she have MORE with her?" Raj asks in a worried voice.

MacArthur scowls at the hockey bros. "Oh so you guys think I'm trouble? I DARE YOU TO SAY THAT AGAIN!" she booms, making the hockey boys freeze up. Her scowl is erased with laughter. "Nah I'm kidding, lighten up! I'm off duty, I have no dogs with me."

Chris sighs in disappointment. "Sad, I loved seeing them torture campers…"

Chris and MacArthur both laugh at the memory of the final 5 challenge in TDI 24. Sanders on the other hand is not so amused by Chris. "You are a bad man Chris, you're lucky you ever got out of prison!"

Cut to Sanders and MacArthur being interviewed by Don

"Nice seeing the winners of the season I hosted here!" Don says warmly.

Sanders smiles. "Thanks, it's an honor!"

"You two are winners, but you won in a racing format. Do you think you won't be considered threats since you didn't play a real total drama season?" Don asks.

MacArthur looks irritated. "So you're saying our win isn't valid?"

"Calm down MacArthur… I'd be happy if we weren't targets, that makes it easier to slip by and go under the radar!" Sanders says.

MacArthur laughs in response. "Being "under the radar" seems cowardly to me."

Sanders raises an eyebrow, confused by MacArthur's mindset. "It isn't being cowardly, it's being smart!"

MacArthur laughs Sander's response off, clearly disagreeing but not continuing the argument. "Aw whatever, we will still kick our competition's ass!"

"MacArthur I would like to ask, did anything happen with you and Brody after the Ridonculous Race?" Don asks, changing the subject. The subject change isn't too welcome seemingly, as Sanders and MacArthur both look uneasy, with Sanders looking more disappointed .

"Nothing worth talking about." MacArthur says after some hesitation.

Cut to Chris

"From our original cast, here is Justin!" Chris says. Justin walks out of the plane, but his handsomeness from his teen years are clearly in the past. He has a few cuts on his face, and he's now wearing what looks to be a workers uniform. Some contestants take note of this.

Anne Maria frowns. "Wow, I remember him being a lot hotter before…"

"Hey!" Justin yells in response, offended by Anne Maria.

"She isn't wrong, EEK!" Katie belts out. Someone who previously would die for a chance to be with Justin now slandering his appearance makes Justin angry, and he walks towards the rest of the cast with a sour expression.

Cut to Justin being interviewed by Don

"Justin, ever since-" Don tries to say.

"I am so upset that-" Justin tries to cut off.

"Why do I keep getting cut off in these interviews, god damn!" Don yells, still frustrated by the recent Max and Sugar interviews.

"Uh sorry? But I miss the days of Total Drama Island when everyone would constantly tell me how hot I was! I'm not as hot as I used to be, so now I have to do horrible things…" Justin says with a sad look.

"Like what?" Don asks.

"I have to work… normie jobs! I should be a top tier model, but no one wants me in that field! I work at McDonalds… MCDONALDS!" Justin says in a mix of horror and anger.

Don just looks confused, clearly not thinking this is a 'horrible thing'. " …yes? Welcome to being an average citizen, you sometimes have to work regular 9-5 jobs."

"I shouldn't just be average, that's the problem! Once I win this game, no one will see me as average ever again…" Justin says, determination clear in his tone.

Cut to Chris

"From the Ridonculous Race, it's Dwayne and Junior! Welcome!"

Dwayne and Junior walk out of the plane with smiles on their faces. "Haha, this is so exciting!" Dwayne says.

"Yeah, after we binge watched Pahkitew Island, I'm so excited to be here!" Junior says, having fond memories of watching Pahkitew Island with his dad during the plane rides in the Ridonculous Race.

"Hi so excited to be here, I'm dad!" Dwayne says, instantly cracking up at his own joke. Junior just stares at Dwayne, then walks away with an annoyed look on his face "Junior? Junior? Come back!"

Cut to Dwayne and Junior being interviewed by Don

"Dwayne and Junior, we saw how your father-son bond evolved throughout the race. Has anything changed since then?"

"Nope, I haven't been trying to be cool or anything since what Junior told me in New Zealand." Dwayne says, patting his son on the head.

Yeah, you sure haven't tried that." Junior says sarcastically. Junior's face is clearly not happy, and Don notices.

"Is something wrong Junior?"

"No, not at all." Junior replies with a shrug.

"Are you at all worried about being the youngest contestant in this game at just 14 years old?" Don asks.

"Honestly, yeah… what if the adults don't take me seriously?" Junior says, worried about not fitting in.

Dwayne laughs. "Don't worry kiddo, with me around, they'll have no choice but to respect you."

"Right…" Junior says, clearly unconvinced.

Cut to Chris

"Here is Axel!" Chris says. Axel walks out of the plane, survival weapons in hand, looking around to see if there is any danger lurking. She gets a few raised eyebrows, but one player is happy to see her.

"Wow, you're my favorite contestant from your season, you know your stuff about zombies!" Shawn says with a smile, having seen Axel's intro package in TDI 23. Axel nods, comradery forming in their mutual undead survival interest.

"Thanks for the compliment, I know!"

Cut to Axel being interviewed by Don

"Axel, your two runs on Total Drama weren't the best, you got 15th and 10th place." Don says matter of factly, just getting an annoyed look from Axel. "How do you plan on turning your performance around this season?"

"I won't be distracted by kissing Ripper." Axel says bluntly.

"What do you mean?" Don inquires.

"We broke up shortly after TDI24. I was just entranced by his poetry at the time, we weren't ever meant to be anything long term." Axel says coldly and with a shrug.

Don looks surprised, not being aware that a breakup took place. "How did Ripper take it?"

"He was devastated and cried a lot, but he's over it now. We are still friends, so hopefully we can do damage now that we're both focused!"

Cut to Chris

"Also in this season, Ripper!" Chris introduces. Ripper walks out with confidence.

"Haha, you're all looking at-

"At the winner of this season, we know." Cameron interrupts, not wanting to hear Ripper brag.

"Hey, don't interrupt me, NERD, I can shove you into a locker you know!" Ripper says, flexing his nonexistent muscles to the groans of many campers.

Cut to Ripper being interviewed by Don

"Ask anything you want to Don, I can take any question!" Ripper says with a smug look.

Don nods, taking the challenge. "So, I heard that you and Axel broke up-"

Ripper instantly starts breaking down crying when Don mentions this. "I thought we were going to be together forever, how could she break up with me?! We are still friends but I want to be more!"

Don just stares at Ripper crying and frowns, silently judging him for crying after one question right after saying he can handle anything. "Um… this is uncomfortable."

Cut to Chris

"Here is an original cast member, Leshawna!"

Leshawna walks out. "Sup y'all, Leshawna is back!" she says warmly yet confidently.

Lindsay squeals at seeing her. "Omg hi LaShanquia!"

Leshawna looks confused. "That's my cousin's name…"

"No silly, your cousin's name is Leshawna!"

…

Leshawna just laughs. "I missed you girl! I missed most of ya!" Leshawna high fives Lindsay, then walks up to her friend Bridgette and gives her a hug. "Congrats again on your engagement girl!"

"Thanks Leshawna!" Bridgette says, returning the hug. The joy is short-lived however, as Leshawna makes eye contact with someone.

"Oh… you." Leshawna says, a frown on her face while looking at Priya. Priya returns the look, repeating Leshawna's words. Caleb puts a hand on Priya's shoulder.

"Calm down Priya…"

Cut to Leshawna getting interviewed by Don

"Hello Leshawna, the queen of reality tv herself!"

"Damn straight!" Leshawna says with pride. "While this show is not my favorite I've done, coming back to where it all began for me has appeal to it."

"Alright, so between TDA and World Tour, you were doing reality shows left and right. Post World Tour though, you got really successful with them. You're the only two time winner of The Challenger!" Don says.

"Yeah, I am. I'm excited to see all my friends again and all, but most of all I want to claim the win in a show that has eluded me of one all these years." Leshawna says.

"You were so close to winning Island." Don says.

"Yeah that was bullshit, a parrot got me eliminated!" Leshawna says, anger still simmering inside of her over her unfair exit all these years later. "I declined doing Total Drama All Stars because I already signed up for The Challenger, but now there are no distractions or other shows. I'm coming for that win!"

"Are you worried about a certain someone…let's say, Priya?" Don says, stirring the pot.

Leshawna frowns. "Erm… yeah. I feel like she is going to target me because of what happened on The Challenger: All Stars earlier this year."

"When you betrayed her…" Don says, directing the conversation along.

"Yeah, I sent her into the elimination. It was just strategic because she was my biggest competition, but she took it personally and our relationship from that season never recovered. I hope that won't become a major problem."

Cut to Chris

"Alright, now here is the winner of Revenge of the Island, Lightning!"

Lightning runs out of the plane and halfway down the incline, he jumps all the way to the ground. "Sha-BAM, Lightning is here!" he says with confidence, but no one reacts. "Where is the applause?"

Ella claps just to be polite. "Thanks little girl!"

Cut to Lightning being interviewed by Don

"Lightning, you were the winner of Revenge of the Island."

"Of course I was, Lightning never loses!" Lightning says, flexing a muscle.

"What about All Stars?" Don asks.

"…huh. That doesn't count!" Lightning says, excusing his failures.

"I-… nevermind, not worth arguing over." Don says, yet again feeling defeated by a contestant's answer. "Anyways, how did your family and friends react to your win?"

"It was sha-awesome!" Lightning exclaims. "My team threw a big celebration for me, and my two brothers attended too!"

"What about your father?"

"For some reason, he didn't seem to care that much as usual… but I won't sha-worry! I'll just win again, and I'm sure he will be proud of me this time!" Lightning says confidently.

Cut to Chris

"Next up is Damien!"

Damien walks out of the plane and instantly looks towards his friends. "Hey Priya, Millie, and Caleb!" he says with a warm smile. They exchange pleasantries before Damien joins the rest of the cast, much to the relief of Chris who wants to speed things up now.

Cut to Damien being interviewed by Don

"Hello Damien. How has your life been since Total Drama?" Don asks.

"Therapy." Damien says quickly.

"Huh-" Don tries to say, not expecting an answer like that.

"Lots of it. I've just been trying to get over my fears from the last two seasons, hopefully that will help me this time…" Damien says, though he doesn't look optimistic.

Cut to Chris

"Alright, next up is from Pahkitew Island, here is Amy!"

Amy walks out of the plane with her hair dyed black with green bangs, and her cheerleader outfit is now black and white. She also has two ear piercings in both of her ears.

Chris rolls his eyes upon seeing her. "Oh great, another emo."

"Shut up Chris. Also I didn't come alone." Amy says, smirking after the last sentence. Everyone looks confused as to what she means, but the confusion is swiftly quelled once Duncan walks out of the plane and begins to kiss Amy in front of everyone. Everybody looks at least a little freaked out or upset, especially Sammy. Courtney and Gwen exchange an uneasy glance at seeing their ex again for the first time since All Stars.

Duncan laughs. "I'm back everyone!"

"Someone's a whore, isn't this his third woman on this show?" Anne Maria asks.

"Wasn't he in jail for blowing up your cottage?" Damien adds, a little unnerved at being near a criminal.

"IT WAS A MANSION!" Courtney yells out, her frustration about Duncan being overrode by her irritation of the wrong term being used for what Duncan blew up in All Stars. Everyone just stares at Courtney after she yells. "What? It's an important distinction!"

Everyone's attention is off of Courtney once Amy makes her way to the group, specifically singling out Sammy. "Hello again. You're not upset seeing that I have a man and you don't, are you SAMEY?" she says, yelling out "Samey" to upset her sister.

"It's Sammy, call me by my name!" Sammy says, ignoring Amy's question.

Amy scoffs. "You're still just a spare me Samey, there's a reason my family thought so little of you that they kicked you out!"

"Shut up Amy!" Gwen yells, feeling a sudden urge to defend Sammy.

Amy scowls at Gwen, not tolerating any pushback. "Um this isn't any of your business Gwen, just sit there and be mad that I have your man!"

Gwen looks irritated, and before she can speak, Jasmine does. "Amy I'd advise you shut up before I come over there and-"

"Guys, shut up!" Chris yells. "I love the drama, but we've been standing here introducing people for how long now, we got to hurry this up!"

"Yeah, I've been standing here FOREVER." Taylor sulks, whiny as ever.

"Can we get some food?" Owen says, hungry as usual.

"Shut up! Now introducing-"

"Blaineley Stacy Andrews O'Halloran!" Blaineley says from inside the plane. Blaineley walks out of the plane, clearly proud of her self introduction. Amy smiles upon seeing her.

"Omg hi Blaineley!" Amy says.

"Hey girlfriend!" Blaineley says in the response. The two girls high five while Chris looks irritated.

"It wasn't your place to steal my moment of introducing you Blaineley." Chris says with his arms crossed.

"Who cares? I do your job better than you do." Blaineley says, uncaring of Chris's opinion.

Cut to Duncan and Amy being interviewed by Don

"Well this is certainly an unholy union…" Don says with a grimace, looking at Amy and Duncan. "How did you two start dating?"

"I got released from prison early due to good behavior, so I was back in the real world pretty quickly. I didn't watch Pahkitew Island or anything so I didn't meet her from a Total Drama fan event, but Amy and I matched on Tinder a few months ago, and we've been going strong ever since!" Duncan answers.

Amy has a wicked smile growing on her face, and she leans onto Duncan. "I've always been into men like Duncan, so this just makes sense!"

Don looks grossed out by Amy. "Duncan… I have to ask, do you have any thoughts about having a new relationship on display in this game while two of your exes are competing?"

Duncan looks uncomfortable at the mention of Gwen and Courtney, but he begins to gather his thoughts. "Well-"

Amy, upset at his other relationships being brought up, interrupts Duncan before he can answer. "He doesn't care about Courtney or Gwen, because I'm the best he has ever been with! The two of us and Blaineley will be running TV by the time this is all over."

Cut to Blaineley being interviewed by Don

Don frowns upon seeing who is in front of him. "Hello…" he says coldly.

"Ugh, it's you!" Blaineley says with a noticeable amount of venom, the bad blood between the two being obvious.

"Trust me, I am not happy to be in your presence either, Blaineley. Anyways, you had one appearance, did nothing yourself, and got out quickly despite there being way bigger threats, showing how bad your social skills are. Thoughts?" Don says with pettiness in his tone.

"Excuse you?" Blaineley says offendedly. "Do not talk to me like that. I am famous!"

"You WERE famous." Don quickly corrects.

Blaineley sighs. " …stop. Just stop Don, you're really testing me!"

"Alright, fine." Don says, ready to steer the conversation in a more professional direction. "What is your friendship with Amy about?"

"Ever since I saw Amy on Pahkitew Island, I just saw a bit of myself in her! She could be the next super diva of television if given the chance, so I made contact with her and we discussed possible show ideas that we could host." Blaineley says, hopes high.

Don just laughs, unable to hide his emotions. "Blaineley… you have been yesterday's news, a small time player, for many years now. What makes you think you could get back in the spotlight, let alone with an unproven person in television like Amy?"

Blaineley gasps. "I am not a small-time player!"

"Huh-"

"I'm the big star, it's the television industry that's gotten small!" Blaineley yells.

Don looks unimpressed. "Then why do you still want to be a part of it so badly?"

…

Blaineley just screams in frustration and runs out of the interview room.

Cut to Chris

"Here is a couple from Revenge of the Island, Sam and Dakota!"

Sam and Dakota walk out of the plane, Sam has seemingly lost a bit of weight, while Dakota is looking like her old self except that her hair is still green.

"Hey everybody!" Sam greets with a wave.

Zoey smiles upon seeing the duo. "Hey guys… it's nice to see you aren't a mutant anymore Dakota!"

Dakota smiles at the woman who tried to comfort her during her mutation issues in Revenge. "Thanks Zoey!"

Cut to Sam and Dakota being interviewed by Don

"Sam… Dakota… you two formed a very unlikely relationship during Revenge of the Island. How did y'all make it work?"

"Sam taught me many important lessons, Don. I used to think that looks were everything and that I had to be perfect to be loved. Sam stood by my side even when I really didn't deserve it, and him still loving me even though I became a mutant will stick with me forever." Dakota says, smiling at Sam.

"It's nothing Dakota, looks don't matter!" Sam says.

"Dakota, how did you undo becoming a mutant?" Don asks with curiosity.

"My daddy paid for treatments." Dakota says.

"Makes sense." Don says, acting as if becoming and unbecoming a mutant are casual events. "Anyways Sam, you caught a lot of heat from the Total Drama community for your inclusion in Total Drama All Stars over people like Owen. Thoughts on that?"

Sam shrugs, unconcerned. "Yeah I didn't really deserve to be there and I didn't take advantage of the opportunity, but oh well!"

"Were you not rattled by the fan base reaction?"

"No, when you look like me, you get used to hate, haha! This time, I'll try harder, this is the Smash Ultimate of Total Drama seasons!" Sam says with determination, his gaming philosophies showing.

Cut to Chris

"From Ridonculous Race, Ellody and Mary!"

Ellody and Mary walk out to the confusion of nearly everyone, not many people recognizing them.

Anne Maria again is the person who voices their lack of memory. "Who?"

"Wow you can't recognize anyone from the Ridonculous Race, can you?" Tammy says, still salty about Anne Maria forgetting her.

"Can ya blame me? Who are these two?" she says, genuinely asking.

Ellody frowns at this. "Are we really that forgettable Mary?" she asks her friend.

"Yes, why are you shocked by this reaction? We are statistically the least memorable contestants in Total Drama history." Mary says, not blaming anyone for not remembering them as she's aware of how forgettable they were.

Cut to Ellody and Mary being interviewed by Don

"Ellody and Mary, you two had a communication breakdown during the Ridonculous Race and lost once your data got ruined on the beach. How do you think things will be different this time?"

"We will do better this season for two reasons. One, we aren't seen as threats at all, so no one has a reason to target us right off the bat." Mary says, then pausing to let Ellody give the second reason.

"And two, we are much more suited to a game like this. The race had so many variables out of our control like flight delays, broken vehicles, or random waves ruining our sandcastle plans. A voting game like this is just pure numbers and strategy, it's easier to plan and it is a game in our wheelhouse." Ellody says.

Mary nods. "We will be more cutthroat this time to achieve our goals to fund science communities in a way we couldn't do last time."

Cut to Chris

"Our next contestant is Harold!"

Harold walks out of the plane. "Booyah, I'm so pumped! I have learned a ton of mad skills since the last time I played!" he says, getting laughter from Duncan in response. The laughter doesn't go unnoticed by Leshawna.

"Shut up Duncan, how have you been against Harold for 7 years?" Leshawna says, glaring at Duncan.

Amy takes offense to this and looks at Leshawna with anger. "Excuse me? Don't tell my man to shut up like that, you cow!"

Leshawna scowls at Amy and walks towards her. "Oh I'm about to slap the hell out of you girl-"

"Again guys, save the drama for later!" Chris says, in a mix of laughter from the fight and irritation from people still fighting despite him saying not to.

Harold hugs his friend. "Thanks for defending me Leshawna, I don't know why Duncan still has a problem with me."

"Of course I'll defend you, we'll be friends till the day I die!"

Cut to Harold being interviewed by Don

"Harold, the last time you competed on Total Drama was in World Tour where you quit the show due to being tricked by Alejandro. What have you been doing since?"

"I've been going to even more of Steve's camps! Do you care to hear about my recent experience at Strategist Steve's Strategist Camp?"

"No." Don says, not caring about what Harold has to say.

"GOSH!"

Cut to Chris

"From Revenge of the Island, here is Scott!"

Scott walks out of the plane with no one really reacting in any way. Scott notices this and pipes up. "Is anyone even going to say hello?"

"Hi Scott..." Courtney says awkwardly. Scott is shocked but not upset that Courtney said hi to him. He responds with a greeting of his own and walks over to her. They both give a look that makes it seem like they want to talk more, but both stay silent.

Cut to Scott being interviewed by Don

"Scott, you are a pretty controversial player between both of your appearances on this show. In Revenge of the Island, you were a major antagonist. In All Stars, you fell off hard-"

"Hey!" Scott interrupts, offended. "It was not my fault that the world hated me, stupid Fang better not be on the island this time!"

"He isn't, don't worry." Don reassures, making Scott breathe a sigh of relief. "Are you worried going into this season? You don't have a good reputation or any friends really."

Scott laughs, clearly not considering what Don is saying. "Why would I be worried? I made it to the final four twice, I know I can do it again!"

Cut to Chris

"From Pahkitew Island, here is the runner up, Sky!"

Sky walks out of the plane with an angry look on her face, clearly not wanting to be there. "I can't believe that I am back here… I never wanted to be back on this island."

Jo walks out of the plane right after her, and she slaps Sky on the back. "Well you're here now, so try your best."

Sky sighs in annoyance. "Alright…"

Cut to Sky being interviewed by Don

"Sky, you came so close to winning Pahkitew Island until-"

"Dave, I know." Sky interrupts, not wanting to hear Don finish his statement. "That stupid drama cost me the win!"

"…you seem very pissed off." Don says, stating the obvious.

"Because I am. I got so much crap for how things went down. I did like Dave, but I wanted to win and the fact that he could not get the hint frustrated me so much." Sky says on the verge of ranting.

"What about the controversy with your boyfriend Keith?" Don asks.

Sky groans at the memory of Keith. "We obviously broke up after I got home."

"Don't you think you were in the wrong for flirting with Dave and giving him some hope early on when you did still have a boyfriend at home, even if you were intending to break up with him anyways?" Don asks.

"Of course I was, I fucked up everything and everyone reminds me of that every chance they get. I am just sick of it and this show, I just want to focus on becoming an Olympian now instead of a reality show." Sky says, putting her hands in her head. "But if I'm here, I guess I have to try my best."

Cut to Jo being interviewed by Don

"Jo, you had a pretty dominant performance in Revenge of the Island, though you were an early boot in All Stars. Were you disappointed by your performance there?"

"Of course I was, I should not have been eliminated that early in All Stars! The villains were pretty useless as a team, but I've made peace with what happened." Jo says, surprisingly not angry still.

"What have you been up to since Total Drama ended?"

"Athletics for the most part, I'm nearly done with college. I don't talk to that many people from the show. Lightning and I sometimes meet up to race against each other to see who is really the best between us, and I always win of course. I am also friends with Sky's sister so I met Sky from Pahkitew."

"What is your relationship like with Sky?" Don asks, curious about this newly revealed duo.

"She is competitive and has a chip on her shoulder, she also doesn't try to be a girly girl. She's my type of person, so we get along well."

Cut to Chris

"From Ridonculous Race, here are The Stepbrothers!"

Chet and Lorenzo run out of the plane and start singing the Stepbrothers song, much to everyone's annoyance.

"Shut the hell up!" Jo yells.

"You shut up mister!" Chet snaps back, taking a shot at Jo's appearance. Lorenzo laughs like a hyena at the comment.

"Ha, you got her there!" Lorenzo says while still laughing.

Jo is about to retort, but someone else speaks up. "Jo is a girl you idiots, how could you not tell?" Lightning says, shocking everyone as him sticking up for Jo wasn't on anyone's bingo card. Jo seems thankful, even though Lightning used to not be able to tell her gender either.

Cut to Chet and Lorenzo being interviewed by Don

"Stepbrothers, you went from hating each other to becoming best friends during the Ridonculous Race, and it seems you've continued to have a good brotherly relationship since then. How did your parents react to the turn of events in the race?"

"They're very grateful we did the race, and so are we, since we realize how awesome we both are now!" Lorenzo says, high fiving Chet.

"That's right, how many other pairs of Stepbrothers have their own theme song?" Chet says smugly. The duo sings the Stepbrothers song again and Don sighs in annoyance

Cut to Chris

"From Island and World Tour, it's Cody!" Chris says.

Cody walks out, strutting down the plane exit with confidence. "Hey everyone, the codemeister is-" he tries to say before Sierra follows him down the plane, tackling him to the floor.

"OMG OMG CODY HI! IT HAS BEEN SO LONG SINCE WE'VE SEEN EACH OTHER!"

Cut to Cody being interviewed by Don

"Cody, you are one of the most popular players in Total Drama history, thoughts on that?"

"It's been interesting for sure… a lot of people make fanart and write fanfiction about me!" Cody says while chuckling.

Don raises an eyebrow. "Do you look up fanfiction about yourself-"

There is clear hesitation before Cody answers. "No comment." Cody says, clearly looking embarrassed.

"Erm…" Don says, before deciding to move on before things get awkward. "You said during World Tour that Sierra would be your best friend, how is that going?"

Cody smiles. "Surprisingly she's not overly clingy… most of the time… and she started to respect my boundaries."

"Aw yes, basic human decency is always a plus." Don says sarcastically.

"Um yeah haha." Cody says, trying not to say much as he knows what Don means.

"So, you were infamous for being a simp in your seasons and never dating anyone. Have you found love since Total Drama?" Don asks.

Cody gives Don a weird look as he did not expect to be asked about his love life. "No… My fans who try to date me aren't really my type, you know? Anyone I tried asking out has rejected me."

Cut to Sierra being interviewed by Don

"Sierra-" Don says before getting cut off.

"Hello Donathan Vance Richardson!" Sierra says with way too much enthusiasm.

Don's jaw drops as he looks at Sierra, processing what she just said. "How did you find out my full name-" he asks, eyes widening.

Sierra starts giggling like crazy. "I have connections EVERYWHERE, haha!"

Don looks uncomfortably at the stalker. "Um… what are your thoughts on this season happening, since you are a big fan of the show."

"OMG I'm so excited to be back on my favorite show in the world! I can interact with Cody again, and some of my favorite players post All Stars like Shawn, Priya, and Bowie! AH!" Sierra says excitedly. "I can just DIE being here, YAY!"

Sierra begins hyperventilating out of excitement before passing out. Don sighs in relief, happy the interview is over.

"From TDI23 and TDI24, it's Julia and MK!"

Julia and MK walk out of the plane, Julia with her hair grown back out. The duo spot their old castmates glaring at them, much to their annoyance.

Julia can't contain herself. "What are you all looking at?" she snaps.

Bowie laughs. "I missed when your hair was a mullet, Julia!" he says, wanting to get a rise out of his enemy.

Julia makes a guttural sound in anger. "DO NOT MENTION THAT EVER AGAIN!"

MK puts her hand on Julia's back and begins rubbing it to try and cool her down. "Calm down, they're just gonna try and rile you up." she says, knowing very well how Bowie operates.

"Ugh but I like arguing…" Julia whines.

"Do it later." MK says, guiding her towards the rest of the campers.

Cut to Julia and MK being interviewed by Don

"Julia, MK, you two became one of the most popular duos in Total Drama history during TDI24. Because of that, people forget that you both were targeting each other throughout TDI23, how did y'all become friends so quickly?"

MK shrugs. "It sucked to be eliminated, but I respected Julia's abilities to be a cutthroat monster."

Julia smiles. "Aw, you're so sweet!" she says, loving being called a monster.

"Your popularity only continued to grow postseason, as the two of you started a podcast." Don says.

Julia grins at the chance to talk about herself. "Yes, "Get Over Yourself" is the #1 podcast in the world, and I'm the top influencer on top of that! Being myself has worked out great, I'm glad I can be an inspiration!"

"Do you struggle to maintain your success on the top of both of these fields?"

"No, I just tell my followers to send hate to other influencers and podcasters, I did that with Kitty's travel content recently." Julia says casually.

Don nods. "I'd be dumb if I didn't ask about your relationship status. "MKulia" blew up, especially after the "you like me" scene in episode 7. Are the two of you dating?"

Julia goes silent before glaring at Don. "I- it is none of your business Don, why would you ask that? You have no respect-"

MK cuts in. "We are." she says casually.

Julia gasps and she looks at her girlfriend. "MK!"

"What?" MK says, stifling a laugh.

"We were supposed to not actually confirm it, the ambiguity gave us more views!" Julia complains, though she doesn't seem that upset.

"Meh." MK responds, not caring too much.

"From Revenge of the Island, it's Brick!"

Bricks walks out of the plane, and he gives a salute. "Brick MacArthur, reporting for duty again!" Despite him saying the familiar reporting for duty line, Brick isn't wearing his typical military outfit, he's wearing more casual clothing and his hair is styled.

MacArthur narrows her eyebrows. "MacArthur is my name, he can't steal that…"

"It's his last name…" Sanders says, sounding tired.

"Oh."

Cut to Brick being interviewed by Don

"Brick, you were eliminated in Revenge of the Island after helping the other team get out of the mine. Do you regret helping them in retrospect?"

"Not at all! You saw what happened to Dakota, if I left the Mutant Maggots there and they got mutated as well, I would never have forgiven myself." Brick says, a man of honor as usual.

"Alright. Anyways, you were someone a lot of people were wanting to see in Total Drama All Stars, but you didn't make the cut. But now you're here, are you wanting to make your fans proud?"

"Yup, I didn't know I was so popular until Sam was chosen over me to be in All Stars." Brick says, happy about the support.

"Speaking of All Stars, let's talk about Jo, someone who did make the cut. You two had a rivalry in Revenge, what are your thoughts on her over 5 years later?" Don asks.

"I don't respect her too much after seeing the things she would say behind people's back, she didn't have any honor… but I will give her a second chance this time, people could change." Brick says.

"Mature response, that is not so common." Don notes. "Anyways, I remember that you mentioned wanting to go to fashion school at the end of Revenge of the Island. Did you ever end up going?"

"It's too expensive for me to afford." Brick says with a frown. "I think I do have better style now even if I didn't go to school for it."

"From Pahkitew Island, here is Rodney!"

Rodney walks out of the plane, initially with a neutral expression, but then he is instantly starstruck by seeing 45 women. "Wow…"

Chris raises an eyebrow. "Rodney…. Rodney? Are you there?"

"Huh? Um yeah!" Rodney says, trying to snap out of it.

Cut to Rodney being interviewed by Don

"Rodney, you were a very interesting case in Pahkitew Island. On paper, you should have been one of the strongest contestants and you should have been able to carry your team to victory after victory. In reality, you blindly fell in love with every girl that talked to you, and you thought you had 3 girlfriends, then you became the 4th boot. What were your thoughts on your Pahkitew Island performance?" Don says harshly.

Rodney sighs and has a look of guilt. "It was so difficult knowing that I was playing with people's hearts… I know Amy, Jasmine, and Scarlett must have been so upset when they found out-"

Don's eyes widen. "What do you mean, you weren't ever dating them!" he yells out, shocked that Rodney is still implying that he was ever with the three girls.

"Uh, yes I was!" Rodney retorts, delusional as ever. "I had moments of true love with all three of them, and then I managed to ruin each connection. I'm glad to see that Jasmine found love despite what I did to her."

Don just groans. "I- ok wow, you really believe that you were dating them." he says, still in disbelief.

"My main goal this season is to be a man of honor and give the women here someone respectful to date." Rodney says, his eyes beginning to glow as he imagines the possibilities. Don just looks disturbed in response.

Cut to Chris

"From the Ridonculous Race, it's Tom and Jen!"

Tom and Jen walk out of the plane, carrying themselves like massive stars.

"Hey everyone!" Jen says with a hand on her hip.

"We're back!" Tom declares.

Anne Maria raises an eyebrow, impressed. "Ok I do not really remember these two either, but I love their style!"

"Wow, thanks girl!" Tom says, smiling at her.

"You don't look bad yourself, you know." Jen adds on.

"Don't worry, I know I'm hot!" Anne Maria says.

Cut to Tom and Jen being interviewed by Don

"Hello Don! We have a gift for you!" Tom says.

Don has a confused look on his face. "Um… what is it?"

"I remember you LOVING our fez hats, so we brought you one!" Jen says, grabbing a hat from her bag and handing it to Don, who smiles upon seeing it and puts it on.

"Oh these hats are cozy…" Don says, enamored with it. "Anyways, you competed in the Ridonculous Race, but left relatively early due to your arguments over who started your blog. Speaking of, how has your blog been going?"

"We went on the show to promote, and it worked out so well!" Jen says, proud of their plan working.

"Yes, the exposure we got made our blog blow up to the point we started an official clothing and hat line!" Tom says.

"Those fez hats are our top selling item, you're wearing the prototype for our new purple fez hat!" Jen says, pointing at the hat Don is wearing.

"Well thanks." Don says earnestly. "What strategy will the two of you use this season?"

"Find like minded people and rule the game." Jen says.

"Yeah, we want to find fashionably acceptable allies to work with that fit our image. Someone like Lindsay would be preferable." Tom says, which causes Jen to smile at the idea.

"Oh my god if we can get her to model some of our products… EEEE!"

"EEEE!"

Cut to Chris

"From TDI 23 and TDI 24, it's Zee!" Chris says. Zee walks out of the plane holding a bong, to a bunch of confused faces. "Zee, you're not supposed to have that around the camera!"

Chris takes it away from Zee, and Zee shrugs. "Sorry man. It's good to see you again though, bring it in!" he says, looking for a hug though Chris refuses.

"No hugs Zee, I haven't changed in the past three years. Especially no hugs after the time you tried to get everyone to vote me out!" Chris says. Bowie, Julia, Emma23, Chase, Priya, and Millie all laugh at that memory.

"Oh… bummer."

Cut to Zee being interviewed by Don

Zee is sipping from his can of orange soda as Don begins to ask questions. "Zee, you did pretty well in both of your seasons, getting 7th and 8th place. What is your secret to making it far multiple times?"

"Not being annoying dude, more people should try that." Zee says casually, taking another sip of his drink.

Don seems impressed with the answer. "…very fair point! You got eliminated in both seasons for oversharing and making yourself a target. Will you try to avoid doing that again?"

Zee starts zoning out, not reacting to anything which concerns Don. "Zee?"

Cut to Chris

"Now for our last Revenge of the Island contestant, here is Dawn!"

…

Dawn is suddenly right next to Chris with no one seeing her exit the plane. Chris gasps in shock. "Woah, you freak me out!" Dawn doesn't react to what Chris says, she just silently walks towards the rest of the cast with a worried look on her face.

Cut to Dawn being interviewed by Don (haha)

"Hello… Dawn- we have the same name." Don points out before continuing. "You seem a bit disturbed to be on this island, why is that?"

"Something just doesn't feel right about this place…" Dawn says shakily.

"I am pretty sure it's good and safe Dawn, don't worry." Don assures. "Anyways, you are probably the most popular pre merger in Total Drama history. Your fanbase is BIG for someone who just lasted a mere 5 episodes, what are your thoughts on that?"

Dawn looks confused. "I have a big fanbase?"

"Yeah, didn't you know that?" Don asks.

Dawn shakes her head. "I don't own a phone or use the internet at all, I spend most of my time outside."

"That makes you an outlier, most people don't go outside nowadays." Don says half jokingly. "Have you even seen the other total drama seasons?"

"When I knew I was coming back, I went to my friend Kai's house to watch all the seasons so I could catch up and know what I'm getting into." Dawn says.

"So about Revenge of the Island, you were eliminated early due to being framed for theft by Scott. Do you want revenge on him for what he did to you?" Don asks.

Dawn again shakes her head. "Revenge isn't good for the soul, the universe gave him his karma anyways."

"Are you going to try and play a little more strategically this time?"

Dawn ponders a bit before answering. "I'll try my best to stay here as long as I can, but I won't stoop to the levels of someone like Scott."

Cut to Chris

"Introducing our last pair from the Ridonculous Race, Jacques and Josee!"

Jacques and Josee leap out of the plane and start waving towards the cameras like they did throughout much of the Ridonculous Race.

"Hello Pahkitew Island, your olympic champions are here!" Josee says proudly.

"Too bad you weren't the Ridonculous Race champions, boom!" MacArthur yells out, always taking an opportunity to dunk on the ice dancers.

"MacArthur, don't start conflict-" Sanders scolds.

"HOW DARE YOU BRING UP RIDONCULOUS RACE, OUR OLYMPIC VICTORY FAR EXCEEDS A STUPID RACE!" Josee screams at MacArthur.

"Josee, please calm down!" Jacques says to his ice dancing partner. Josee backs down but still glares at McArthur in anger, with McArthur returning the favor.

Cut to Jacques and Josee getting interviewed by Don

"Oh joy, it's you two again." Don says, clearly not too thrilled to see Jacques and Josee.

"We know, we are your favorite team!" Jacques says in a taunting voice.

"That's very untrue, but I'll ask you questions. This year, you won the skating olympics after failing to do so before. How sweet was that victory?"

Josee smiles at the mention of their recent triumph. "Finally, we got the olympic gold medals that we deserve because no one dropped me on the ice this time!"

Jacques frowns. "Are you still hung up about that-"

"No, I just felt like bringing it up to boost our victory this year!" Josee says, though you could tell she still is.

"You won gold in the Olympics, but you did NOT win gold in the Ridonculous Race. After all the dirty tricks you two pulled, your rivals won instead. Thoughts on that?" Don says, prompting a scowl from Josee, who starts to get that familiar angry look in her eyes. "Uh calm down-"

It's too late, and Josee begins to trash the interview set in rage.

Cut to Chris

"For our final Pahkitew Island player, it's a fan favorite… Dave!" Chris says, with an obvious joking tone in 'fan favorite'. Dave walks out and Sky audibly groans, though he doesn't hear it.

"Hi…" Dave says, just receiving glares as he isn't exactly a well respected contestant. "I see how it is then!"

Dave sulks while walking towards the rest of the group, with some campers rolling their eyes at his whining.

Cut to Dave being interviewed by Don

"Dave… hello. It is no secret that you aren't exactly the most popular player within the Total Drama community. Thoughts on your fan reception?" Don asks.

"It sucked, what do you think? Everyone is always so rude to me, that situation wasn't my fault!" Dave says, his tone shaky.

"Couldn't it have been avoided if you let Sky talk after she said "I like you too, but-"?" Don asks,

"Oh shut up, she still could've found time to mention it for days after that happened!" Dave replies, not happy with Don's counter.

"Alright. What are your thoughts on being back in general, considering you've been outspoken about hating Total Drama ever since you got home?"

"I hate that I'm back and I don't want to be here, but if I am back… I might as well try to change my reputation." Dave says, though his tone isn't exactly determined.

Cut to Chris

"For our final duo to be introduced, the finalists of Total Drama World Tour themselves, Alejandro and Heather!" Chris says. Alejandro and Heather walk out together, with Alejandro politely guiding Heather down to make sure she doesn't fall down while walking down the incline. "Hello you two." Chris says while glaring at Heather.

"Why does he seem so angry at her?" Rock asks.

"We sued Chris together." Gwen says casually.

"What-" Rock says confusedly, but he stops talking once Alejandro pipes up.

"Chris, I would advise you to stop looking at Heather like that." Alejandro says, glaring at Chris and wrapping an arm around Heather.

"Yeah, don't be mad that I got my financial compensation." Heather says, her hatred of Chris clear.

Chris looks offended to be blamed for the money loss in World Tour's finale. "It's not my fault you let Zeke take it from you!"

Everyone stares at Ezekiel after that comment. "Uh, sorry for that Heather…" he sheepishly apologizes, though Heather doesn't give a response.

Cut to Alejandro and Heather being interviewed by Don

"Alejandro and Heather, the biggest power couple in Total Drama history is here! How are you two and how has your relationship been since All Stars?"

Heather smiles and holds Alejandro's hand. "It's been amazing, Alejandro is the best partner anyone could have!"

Alejandro also smiles. "No, you're the best partner anyone could have!" he says affectionately, which weirds out Don.

"Aw!" Heather says, her smile growing, which makes Don even more creeped out, not expecting this behavior from this villainous duo.

"Um, you do realize a lot of money is on the line, right? You two fought in the All Stars finale when you had the chance to get that much money. What is going on here?" Don asks.

"We're doing well enough financially to not get overly competitive with each other over the money, especially after Heather and Gwen won their lawsuit against production." Alejandro explains.

"Also we live together, so we'd share the money no matter who wins anyways!" Heather adds on happily. They begin kissing and Don wears a very concerned look, the behavior from the duo in the All Stars finale looking like a prudish couple compared to what's going on now.

Cut to Chris

Chris sighs out of exhaustion, tired after introducing everyone. "So, I think that is everyone, we are all here!"

Taylor gives a sigh of relief. "Ugh finally, my legs hurt after being forced to stand here for so long!"

"Stop complaining." Chris says, glaring at the brat.

Taylor looks offended. "Um-"

"Just stop talking Taylor." Chris says, done with Taylor. "Well then, now that everyone is here, we can begin this season-"

"SURPRISE!" a voice shouts out, startling everyone.

Scary Girl manifests herself behind Chris, making him fall to the ground in shock, though Chef picks him up.

"Get up ya baby!" Chef says, earning a glare from Chris.

"Alright, I nearly forgot our final contestant, Scary Girl!" Chris says hastily.

Scary Girl looks at everyone with a smile on her face. "Hello everyone, I hope we can have a lot of fun together!" she says, clapping to a crowd of terrified and concerned faces.

"How does she keep getting invited back?" Millie asks a little too loudly.

Scary Girl stares and smiles at Millie, making Millie freeze up. "What did you say Millie?"

"Nothing, nothing!" Millie says, scared for her life in the presence of a psychopath.

Cut to Scary Girl getting interviewed by Don

"Hello Scary Girl…" Don says uneasily.

"Hey Don, it's so good to meet new friends for the first time!" Scary Girl says with a giggle.

Don looks afraid. "Um…."

Scary Girl's smile widens. "Is something wrong?!"

"Nope, I am doing great! I will ask you a question now… you were the fourth boot of TDI23 and the first boot of TDI24, thoughts on going home so early in both of your seasons?" Don asks. This may not have been good to ask though, as Scary Girl stops smiling and she glares at Don "Um you don't have to answer, don't worry!"

Scary Girl stops glaring. "Good!"

"Do you have a strategy for this season?" Don asks, trying to get some normalcy out of this outlandish girl.

"I am going to be myself! I tried to conform to being a normal girl, but those traitors VOTED ME OUT! JULIA, CHASE, RIPPER, MK, BOWIE, RAJ, WAYNE, I WILL END EVERY ONE OF YOU!" Scary Girl replies. Don looks horrified as Scary Girl's face looks more and more angry with each word coming out of her mouth. "When I was myself, I did survive an elimination ceremony! So I am going to be myself and hope everyone gets really hurt!"

Cut to Chris

"Well, now we have everyone!" Chris says. He turns to the camera. "Now that all 100 players are here on Pahkitew Island, you are going to bear witness to the best season we will ever produce! Find out what the teams will be, what the first challenge is, and more importantly… who will be the first camper eliminated in the next episode of Total Drama Ultimate!"

Ending Author's Note: Well, that is part 1 of the opener to this season! Sorry that there not too much drama or major events took place yet, this was meant to be an introduction that shows how our favorite contestants have been doing since Total Drama ended, things really kick off next time as the team picking and first challenge are there. This wasn't meant to be a two parter, but the introductions alone were so long my hand was forced so episode 1 wouldn't be a 50 yearlong read lol.
