Author's Note

Hey guys, it's me. I haven't been feeling well these past couple weeks, so I haven't been in a writing mood.

But while sick I came up with this idea, just to throw my hat in the ring of Reboot Rewrites. After all I made a Prediction Fic, why not a rewrite?

So here's chapter 1, please enjoy!

-MisterStevenson


It opened on a cascading waterfall surrounded by several trees and rocks.

"It's been fifteen years since we first aired, and now we're back where it all began." The disembodied voice of Chris began, flashing between several different visuals."This abandoned summer camp in Muskoka Canada!" Chris continued.

"Back with the crummy cabins, hungry bears, hungrier bugs, the disgusting outhouse where contestants confess their darkest secrets, and of course, Chef's…disgusting…FOOD!" Chris exclaimed, cutting to a shot of him walking by the Mess Hall.

"Today, sixteen new contestants arrive, and they'll battle to be the last one standing and win one million dollars!" Chris explained, a pile of money raining down onto him. "Someone's going to clean this up, right?" Chris asked, subtly slipping a wad of cash into his shirt.

"But winning won't be easy. Because this isn't just a reboot, it's a re-BOOT to the face!" Chris exclaimed with a smug grin. "Crazier challenges, deadlier dares, and a writing team made up of angry monkeys who want nothing more than to see humanity crash and burn!" Chris explained, said explanation ending with a monkey pressing a button which launched several missiles.

"I'm your host, Chris McLean. And this is Total…Drama…Island!" Chris exclaimed.

(Cut to the Intro and Back)

It cut back to Chris standing on a dock. "Welcome back! Now let's meet the victims- Ha! Did I say victims? I meant campers!" Chris corrected himself. "First up on our list, Millie!" Chris announced, as it panned away to show a boat carrying a black girl on the larger side with long poofy hair.

It proceeded to cut to Millie standing in her living room. "In my parent's generation, to achieve fame you either had to write a novel, win a gemmy, or cure a deadly disease. But my generation can get famous live streaming themselves reviewing toys or eating hot food." Millie explained.

"Which is why i'm using this opportunity to go on Total Drama to research and observe the travesty that is my generation. And then the people at school will stop calling me a "Gen-Z Boomer"!" Millie exclaimed.

It cut back to Millie stepping onto the dock. "Welcome Millie, step over there if you don't mind." Chris gestured to his right. "Next up, Axel!" Chris exclaimed. It then cut to another boat, where a tan girl wearing military-esque clothing was standing on the bow of the boat.

It changed to a shot of Axel running down a sidewalk. "I am a survivalist with a primitive survival rating of 9.7!" Axel yelled while running. "So in the case of any apocalyptic scenario, be it nuclear fallout, a second Great Depression, or Dios forbid a zombie apocalypse…" Axel explained, stopping to take down some wooden zombies, one of which looked AWFULLY familiar.

"I'll be prepared…tough luck for the rest of you." Axel finished her explanations with a smirk. It cut back to the dock, where Axel threw a bag filled with weapons and survival gear onto the wooden surface.

"Wow, you came prepared for…everything?" Chris asked, as Axel was swinging around a pair of nunchucks. "Over there please." Chris pointed behind him. "Next up…Priya." Chris announced.

It then panned over to an Indian girl wearing a light blue shirt and dark blue pants excitedly waving from the next boat. It then cut to Priya looking at her reflection in a trophy.

"My parents are huge Total Drama Fans, and have been training me my entire life. Just in case there was a reboot." Priya explained, some of her words seeming dubbed over. "My very first bungee jump was with my own umbilical cord." Priya continued, it showing just that.

"There's nothing i'm not ready for. Scary challenges? I've done them all. Other players? They'll all be toast!" Priya exclaimed. It cut back to Priya walking down the dock as Chris was about to make his next announcement.

"Next up, all around fun dude…Zee!" Chris announced, panning over to a tall, tan boy wearing a yellow shirt and lightish-red pants lounging in the next boat. It next cut to Zee opening a mini fridge filled with soda cans.

"What's up? I'm Hezekias, but my peeps just call me Zee." Zee introduced, grabbing a soda and closing the fridge. It next cut to Zee relaxing in his bed and cracking open the soda. "Breakfast soda." He said before taking a sip.

"I may not be the strongest, or the fastest, or try super hard, or…remember what i'm talking about." Zee trailed off. It cut back to Zee standing on the dock, pointing two finger guns at Chris.

"Chris my man! Bring it in." Zee went in for a hug, but Chris stopped him. "Nuh-uh, I don't do hugs." Chris shook his head. "Next up we have Ripper!" Chris announced, cutting to a white boy wearing a green shirt giving a noogie to the Intern driving the next boat.

It cut to Ripper standing beside a few lockers. "There's a bunch of stuff that makes a man look weak. Caring about other people, eating mild chicken wings, getting beaten up by someone clearly weaker than them, and simping over fictional characters!" Ripper listed off.

"I don't care about anyone!" It flashed to Ripper turning down a girl, and getting looks from the nearby students. "I always order my wings bum-inferno hot!" It then showed Ripper crying at a chicken restaurant, having only taken a single bite of one wing.

"I win every fight I start!" It flashed to Ripper getting curb stomped by a group of Kindergarteners. "And let's face it, I could score with any fictional babe I want…I just got other more manly stuff to deal with." It finally cut to Ripper snuggling a body pillow, then angrily shouting at the camera.

It flashed back to Ripper standing on the dock. "It's time for beast mode!" Ripper proceeded to rip his shirt off and start flexing. "Oh…oh my." "Ugh." Priya and Millie cringed. "I've seen WAY better." Axel was unimpressed.

"Take a good, long gander ladies. Because once I win the million bucks, i'll be out of your league." Ripper smoothly taunted. "I didn't see a suitcase. Was that you're only shirt?" Chris asked.

"...Aw fartnuggets!" Ripper shouted. "I'm sure one of the Interns can spare something." Chris said. "Next up, Damien!" Chris announced as it panned over to a black boy wearing a yellow hat and dark blue jacket.

It cut to Damien standing in a science classroom. "Ayo ayo, it's Damien time!" Damien exclaimed. "I've never seen nor heard of Total Drama as a whole, but my friends dared me to make an audition tape for it." Damien explained, briefly panning over to two teenagers who were silently laughing.

"So if there's a million bucks just there for the taking, then count me in! It can't be that hard." Damien said with confidence, as one of the vials close to him began to catch on fire. "AHH! FIRE FIRE!" Damien screamed.

It cut back to Damien standing on the dock. "Yo wassup man, i'm here for the money. So where it at?" Damien asked. "We don't just give it to you…you have seen the show before, right?" Chris asked.

"Nope! How do I get the money?" Damien answered. "Oh-ho you will be fun~" Chris rubbed his hands together. "And speaking of fun, next we have Lauren." Chris motioned to his left.

It then panned over to a very pale girl with purple hair done up in twin tails, wearing purple makeup, and a purple dress that wouldn't look to out of place on a creepy doll, and she was sitting on the motor of the next boat and creepily giggling.

It cut to Scary Girl standing in a dark amusement park. "I wanna come onto this show and make a bunch of new friends, and then watch them get really hurt…" She explained. Then Scary Girl pushed down on an explosive detonator, blowing up something offscreen.

And then it cut to Scary Girl sitting criss-cross in the middle of a dark room, smiling at the camera. "Have you ever been to a morgue…? It's cold, lifeless, and the smell of death and heartbreak is in the air…it's my absolute favorite place in the whole-" "Lauren, do you want a sandwich?" A female voice interrupted from offscreen.

"...Not now, Mom!" Scary Girl responded. It cut back to Chris and Scary Girl. "Welcome to the island." Chris greeted. "You should stop looking at me." Scary Girl leaned forward. "Okay then!" Chris covered his eyes but kept his smile.

"Let's look at our next camper, Bowie!" Chris exclaimed. It then panned over to a tall black boy wearing a dark purple vest over a violet belly shirt, green pants, and a pair of heart-shaped sunglasses.

It cut to Bowie running through a school gymnasium. "I'm Bowie, and i'd be your first openly gay contestant." He introduced with poise and smugness. "And FYI, i'm very competitive." He went on, shooting a basketball through a goal and making a little "swish" sound afterwards.

"Last year I was the first Sophomore in my school's history to be voted Prom King…and Queen!" Bowie explained, him holding up a yearbook photo of him comedically wearing two crowns and a cape.

"You can never have too many crowns, and i'm coming for Total Drama's crown next." Bowie ended by throwing the basketball behind him, and it landing in the net once again. It then cut back to Chris standing on the dock.

"Oh! Here comes Chase!" Chris pointed to something offscreen. It panned over to reveal a tan boy wearing a red hoodie and cream-colored pants skiing off the back of the next boat. It then cut to Chase piloting a helicopter.

"Woo-hoo! What's up it's ya boy Chase! You all probably know me from my awesome livestream "Three Guys (and a Girl) and a Beach House!". Except now it's just…Three Guys and a Beach House!" Chase explained.

"Because my balloon of a girlfriend, Emma, just dumped me outta nowhere! I mean, how could someone break up with all this!?" Chase exclaimed, not realizing how wrong his entire statement was.

"Anyways, we prank each other, dare each other to do wicked stunts, eat gross food, trick random strangers, it's a great time!" Chase explained, him suspiciously staying back and holding the camera in all those shots.

"Well that's about it, Chase out!" Chase jumped out of the helicopter and landed on a crocodile pool float…split-style. "ACK! Be sure to like…subscribe…and click the bell…" Chase groaned as the float sank.

It cut to Chase standing in front of Chris. "Chris, let's do this! Woo!" Chase cheered. "And next up…Emma!" Chris announced as it panned over to a chubby white girl wearing an orange sweater and a white, collared mini-dress. "What the who now?" Chase asked.

It cut to Emma jumping on a trampoline in her kitchen. "Hi there, i'm Emma! And i'd be great on Total Drama Island!" Emma excitedly introduced herself. "I used to be part of this fun Youtube channel with my boyfriend and his buddies, doing all these crazy challenges." Emma began.

"I'm not part of that gang anymore, because firstly, I found out my stupid ex-boyfriend Chase Halloway only wanted me for my half a million followers. And secondly…God I don't even want to say!" Emma shouted.

It cut to Emma standing on the dock, angrily pointing at Chase. "You! What is he doing here!" Emma exclaimed. "Babe? I knew you'd come back." Chase said smugly. Emma responded by lunging at Chase, Chris having trouble keeping her at bay.

"*chuckles* Oh, I like that one." Bowie said. Chris proceeded to escort a steaming mad Emma towards the group of campers. "Wow, a lot of hate here! It's almost as if we accepted you both on purpose…" Chris winked at the camera.

"And up next, Mary-Kate!" Chris introduced as it panned over to a short Asian girl wearing a dark blue beanie and a red jacket. It then cut to her outside a coffee shop, looking mischievous.

"Heya! You can call me MK, y'know people think you win Total Drama by being strong. But nah, people see that!" MK began, it then cutting to her sitting in the coffee shop. "Everybody needs a secret talent…wanna know what mine is?" She asked as a passerby asked where his wallet was, in which MK held it up.

"Never underestimate me, because there's always game to be had by flying under the radar." MK chuckled as she walked out of the cafe with a cup of coffee. It cut back to Chris and MK on the dock.

"MK, just over there please." Chris motioned. "And now…Caleb." Chris dreamily sighed as it panned over to a tall, muscular black boy wearing a pink shirt, light blue pants, and eyeing the camera.

It cut to Caleb lifting weights in a home gym. "Hi there, Caleb Smithson's the name." He introduced with half-lidded eyes. "I'm a straight-A student, volunteer at my local homeless shelter, and now I have my eyes set on Total Drama…" Caleb explained.

"I'm not usually TOO competitive, but if a million bucks is the prize…well i'd make up a story about my Grandmother to sell my chances." Caleb smiled to the camera as it cut to the boat driving him.

The intern got distracted and crashed into the dock. "Wow, i'm sorry…it's just that i've never seen anyone as handsome as you!" The Intern was a blushing mess. "No worries, happens all the time." Caleb assured.

"Wow, it's pretty clear who's gonna win this thing. Twenty bucks on that guy." Zee said. "Betting against yourself seems like the dumb thing to do." Priya pointed out. "No way, because if I win, I get a million dollars. But if he wins…I still get twenty bucks." Zee explained his reasoning.

"Our next two players came as a package deal. All the way from Northern Alberta, Wayne and Raj!" Chris introduced the pair. It then panned over to show two boys wearing matching hockey jerseys, the first one white and wearing a red ball cap, and the second one Indian with dark hair.

It cut to Wayne and Raj sitting on the sidelines of a hockey rink. "What's up, fancy network people in Muskoka? I'm Wayne of the Snow Owls!" "And i'm Raj of the Snow Owls!" The duo exclaimed.

"We plan on crushing lots of things if we get accepted." Raj said. "The competition, the challenges, the food, the island, the animals…" Wayne began. "I'm the brains, Wayne's the brawn, we got a little yin-yang going on. And that is essential in the world of hockey." Raj explained.

'...The grass, the water, the cashews, the cameramen…" Wayne kept going. It then proceeded to cut to Wayne and Raj arriving on the dock. "'Sup man, we're here, eh." Raj waved. "The champions of the ice have touched down!" Wayne did a little arm flex.

"Boys, your team is over there." Chris pointed offscreen. "Aw sweet, thanks coach!" Wayne and Raj proceeded to run…to the far side of the dock. "I guess that makes this the other team then?" Wayne shot a competitive glare at Bowie, Emma, MK and Caleb…his ACTUAL team.

"Whatcha think, Rajie?" "I'd be more impressed with a clogged toilet." The duo laughed. "Should I tell them that they're on the wrong team…? Nah, i'll wait and see how long this goes." Chris shrugged.

"Hey, are you both stupid or something?" Axel asked the Hockey Bros. "Hey, you sound like the Coach!" "You must be team Captain then!" Wayne and Raj exclaimed, the weird ego boost shutting Axel up.

"...I wonder if they have gruesome nightmares?" Scary Girl tilted her head. "Our next camper is a bit of a big deal…to some people." Chris said. "Everyone please welcome Nichelle Ladonna!" Chris motioned to a black girl wearing a pink tank top and pale green sweatpants.

"Yes! It's me, what's up?" Nichelle flipped her hair, before cutting to her doing an interview. "So Nichelle, many members of the general public call you a "wannabe", a "C-List Actress", and a "Low Budget Exclusive". How do you respond?" The Interviewer asked.

"Well first of all, acting is a complex world. Sure i've been in a lot of low budget junk, and anything else has been measly cameos. But recently i've scored a main roll in a big budget action flick, and i'm supposed to get top billing!" Nichelle bragged.

"Are you referring to Fists of Knuckles? Because according to the studio itself, Topher Grayson is supposed to get top billing." The Interviewer corrected. "...Screw it, this interview's over." Nichelle got up and walked away.

It cut back to the dock, where the only people who seemed to recognize Nichelle were Emma, Bowie, Wayne, and Raj. "Uh, who's that chick?" Ripper asked. "Bro, that's Nichelle Ladonna!" "She's like, one of the greatest actresses of our time!" Wayne and Raj fanboyed.

"Never heard of her, but if I could get a shout out…" Chase pondered the possibilities. "Woah, she was the star of Gorgeous people High." Bowie said. "And I LOVE you in Hot Teen Detective Squad!" Emma excitedly clapped her hands.

"Thank you, you're too kind." Nichelle ate up the praise.

(Confessional)

Bowie- "I got a soft spot for bad, cheaply made movies…what can I say?"

(Confessional End)

It then cut to a white girl with blonde hair and wearing a white tank top and jean shorts riding on the bow of the next boat. "Our next arrival…Julia!" Chris introduced. It cut to Julia doing a montage of things like meditating, doing a fashion show, and swimming.

"So, a little bit about me." She said in a calm demeanor. "I think this show is such a great platform for me to share my positive energy and relations with the world." Julia began. "I'm an influencer, i'm Indie Bellville Brand Ambassador, and i'm a proud citizen of Mother Earth." She continued.

"I can't wait to embark on my Total Drama journey of self-discovery, live in the sunshine, drift in the sea, drink the wild air, crystals are real, prayer hands emoji…" Julia finished. "Welcome Julia, you can join the others-" But Chris was interrupted by Julia putting her arm around him.

"Sorry, could you…" Julia proceeded to take a selfie. "Thanks!" Julia walked away while typing on her phone. "Hashtag growing! Hashtag my journey begins!" Julia said aloud. "*ahem* Remember the legal blah blah yadda yadda contract you signed? There was that teeny bit about no cellphones on the island." Chris reminded.

"But how am I supposed to grow as a person if I can't tell my followers i'm growing as a person?" Julia asked. "That is a question for a person who cares about what Gen-Z thinks." Chris answered.

"Now, give Chef your phone please." Chris said, as Chef walked onscreen holding a cardboard box. Julia dropped her phone in the box with a neutral expression and walked away. "There, i'm stronger than you think." She then crossed her arms.

"Wonderful…now ALL your phones!" Chris ordered. Julia's eyes widened, and she hesitantly walked back over to the box and dropped several more phones in. "There, I swear on the planet." And then Chris pulled out a handheld metal detector and held it over Julia.

"On the planet, huh?" Chris asked as the detector went off. Julia then dropped the last phone in the box. "Bye babies, don't worry, Mommy will be back for you." Julia said to the box of phones.

"Don't fret, your phones will be safe." Chris said as Chef proceeded to throw the box like a shot put ball far into the water. "At the bottom of scenic Lake Wawanakwa!" Chris exclaimed as Julia screamed.

"Hoo…that move was so cold you could hang ball caps on my nipples." Wayne commented. "For sure, eh…" Raj nodded. It then panned out to Chef tossing a grey banner to the group on the left (plus Wayne and Raj).

"This group will be known as…The Ferocious Trout!" Chef announced as the banner unfolded and revealed an angry fish head. And then he tossed a blue banner to the group on the left, which unfurled to show a frog with a skull and crossbones on its side.

"And this team is the Frogs of Death." Chef announced once again. "Your teams will compete in head-to-head challenges. Where you will either win a reward, or send somebody packing." Chef explained.

And then Chris slid into frame. "Most of you already know this, but i'm obligated to tell you anyways. But the losing team will be sent to the dreaded campfire ceremonies. Where they will decide who's at the bottom of the totem pole…the lowest on the peking order…the sucker who gets the axe." Chris kept listing off metaphors.

"*groans* Darn it! You'll vote on who gets eliminated. And the eliminated player will go to the Dock of Shame, and will be carried off the island by the Drone of Despair." Chef interjected. "Yeah…what he said." Chris said, pretty annoyed.

"Sorry to interrupt, but are we…getting hurt?" Damien asked. "He's never seen the show before." Chris whispered to Chef. "Oh that poor, innocent child." Chef shook his head with sympathy.

"Over there you'll find your cabins marked with your team flag. We'll meet at the beach in…an hour seems good. And we'll begin the first challenge…any questions?" Chris asked. "Are the cabins…co-ed?" Ripper asked with a sly expression.

Ripper then started laughing…but stopped when Axel dropped her bag on his foot. "Can I vote now?" Axel asked. "I assume challenges get postponed due to weather?" Millie stated. "Why does the other team have two less people?" Wayne was baffled.

"Can I switch to the team that has death in the name?" Scary Girl asked. "How tight is the security?" MK looked around. "Are we gettin' hurt!?" Damien asked more frantically than last time. "Will the cameras get my good side?" Chase posed.

"WHAT IF I DON'T HAVE A QUESTION!?" Zee freaked out. But before any more pointless questions could be asked, Chris blew an airhorn. "Time's up, no more questions! Now beat it!" Chris pointed to the cabins behind him.

It first cut to the Ferocious Trout's cabin, where the girls were getting settled in. "Hm, this one doesn't feel too bad." Priya was rubbing the sheets of one of the beds. "This is my bed." Axel threw her bag of heavy weapons on the bed above Priya.

"Uhh…on second thought, i'm getting a bad vibe from this one." Priya got up and left. "Hmph, cobarde." Axel shook her head. Priya then put her stuff down at another bed, until Scary Girl peered down from the bunk above.

"Have you ever thought about what happens when we die?" She asked. "...No I haven't." Priya answered. "Interesting…interesting indeed…" Scary Girl slowly disappeared out of view. Priya silently grabbed her stuff and moved to a bed that was on the other side of the room.

"Ah, now this is the one for me." Priya stretched out on the bed. And then it proceeded to fold up, Priya along with it. It panned up to show Millie writing everything down. "Hey, you need any help?" Millie finally looked down.

"I would really appreciate it." Priya's muffled voice begged. It then cut over to the Guy's side, where things were going a little differently. "So then I caught the guy off guard with a shoulder bash, and the puck just glided into their own end!" Chase, Ripper, Zee, along with Wayne and Raj were swapping stories.

"Dude, please tell me someone recorded that!" Chase exclaimed. "*scoffs* I woulda done WAY better if I was on the ice." Ripper added. Meanwhile Zee just nodded and drank a sip of his soda.

(Confessional)

Zee- "I don't really know much about sports, but i'm happy to be included in the convo."

Damien- "So am I the only one who's wondering why these two boneheads think they're on our team? This has to be for a gag or something."

(Confessional End)

It proceeded to cut over to the Frogs of Death's cabin, where for obvious reasons, the Guy's side was a little more quiet. "Hey, mind if I take the bed next to yours?" Caleb asked. "Oh please, put your stuff wherever you please…" Bowie obliged.

"Say, since we're alone…I have a bit of a proposition for you." Caleb said. "Oh-ho, do tell my strong teammate." Bowie listened in. "Since we're the two most handsome guys on the island, we need to stick together. Ain't that right?" Caleb flexed to accentuate his point.

"Surely you aren't proposing an…alliance? Because if you are, I suppose you could count me in." Bowie and Caleb proceeded to shake hands.

(Confessional)

Bowie- "I originally had a different plan regarding Caleb, but now…maybe it wouldn't hurt having a strong ally in the early game."

(Confessional End)

It then panned over to the Girl's side, where Julia was setting up a vase of flowers. "These Zinnias will really give the room an aesthetically pleasing glow." Julia commented. "Uhh…sure, whatever you say. I bet they'll do just that." MK said, before pickpocketing Julia, snatching a phone and necklace from her shorts pocket.

It panned up to Emma, who was sitting alone on a top bunk, grumbling and looking mad. "Chase…*grumble*...always there…*grumble*...ruined my car." Emma was crossing her arms.

"Sheesh, what's got you all riled up, girl?" Nichelle asked from across the room. "I can't believe Chase is here! This was MY competition, MY chance to heal! But he comes along and ruins it like always!" Emma exclaimed.

"*gasp* Let it out, tell me everything." Nichelle came closer, excited to hear some personal drama. "Ugh, I don't want to talk about it. I swear if I win, i'm donating half the million dollars to an animal hospital!" Emma shouted.

"Aww…that is something i'd never do." MK mocked, getting nods by Nichelle and secretly from Julia. Emma proceeded to puff her cheeks from anger, and stormed out of the cabin.

(Confessional)

Emma- "It's times like these where i'm glad I have total self-control of my rage…because i'd rather storm out of a room than beat someone to a pulp. It only took seven counselors to figure out that lesson, and it was worth it."

(Confessional End) (Cut to Commercial)

It opened back on a seagull sleeping in a loudspeaker, it sounding off, and Chris' voice coming out of it. "Attention campers, it's challenge time! Head on over to the beach at…right now!" Chris ordered over the loudspeaker.

It cut to both teams gathered on blue and grey carpets (and Wayne and Raj were FINALLY on the correct side). "Ferocious Trout, Frogs of Death, welcome to your first challenge." Chris said.

"This challenge will help build trust and comradery in your new teammates." Chef began. "One pair from each team will be tied at the waist and blindfolded, then their objective will be running through this obstacle course to collect six buckets of disgusting chum." Chef continued.

"Then return to the tower where you'll put your buckets on the platform, and two members from your team will pull them up. The process continues until all the buckets are up, or you drop more buckets than the other team, in which case you instantly lose." Chef kept going.

"Nice, that sounds pretty easy." Zee said, opening another soda. "Zee's right, that does sound pretty easy. Which is why there's a bit of a fun rule…if everyone gets all their buckets up, or ties, then two people from each team will pair up and…eat the buckets of chum." Chris announced.

"Also there's booby traps on the course, but that's not important." Chris shrugged. "That's very important!" Damien shouted. "*snicker* He said booby traps." "Shh, the coach is talking." Wayne and Raj were quietly laughing.

"There's splintery fence posts, lobster traps, muddy mud puddles, hornet's nests, and hot coals…plus whatever our unpaid Interns threw in." Chris explained. "Unpaid unschmaid, respect is the only currency the people need! That's why Alphas and Betas exist." Ripper nodded as if he said something smart.

"Dude, respect the POV." Chase hit his chest as if that was the most respectable thing he's ever heard. "Fascinating…" Millie saw this and wrote in her notebook.

(Confessional)

Millie- "Any time someone of my generation says or does something stupid, I write it down. This trip is already proving substantial to my research…my hand is already cramping."

(Confessional End)

"The blindfolded contestants will rely on the voices of two teammates to guide them through the course. And in order to keep things fair, each pair will start at different parts of the starting line after each run through." Chef explained.

"The team that wins this challenge will dine on pizza and wings tonight…something to get the taste of chum out of your mouth." Chris announced to an excited crowd. "And the losers…will be sending someone home, with no pizza and no wings to be had." Chris finished.

"Teams, your positions will be randomly assigned. So get to it when you got 'em!" Chris ordered.

It first cut to the Frogs of Death, where Wayne and Nichelle were the runners, Emma and Bowie were the guides, Raj and MK were in charge of pulling up the platform, and Caleb and Julia were on the sidelines in case they had to eat chum.

As for the Ferocious Trout, Chase and Ripper were the runners, Damien and Millie were the guides, Priya and Scary Girl were in charge of pulling up the platform, and Axel and Zee were off to the sidelines.

"Campers!" Chris announced, holding a starting pistol. "Ready…set…start!" Chris fired it in the air, as Wayne, Nichelle, Chase, and Ripper ran away from the starting line. "Go straight, then right, straight again- RIGHT!" Emma shouted through a megaphone.

"Straight, straight, good job! Now make a left!" Millie shouted through her hands. "What'd she say?" Chase asked. "I think she said to make a right." Ripper responded. "Really? I coulda swore she said left." "Well her left would be our right, so either way we gotta take a right." "Wow, can't argue with that logic!" Chase and Ripper conversed as they went right.

"NO! I said left!" Millie shouted louder. The duo then proceeded to crash into a pile of lobster traps, continuing to run while covered in lobsters pinching them. "Gah! It hurts a bunch!" "Why'd she tell us to go right!?" Chase and Ripper exclaimed.

(Confessional)

Millie- [Writing down something] "I knew this would be easy, but God is it easier than I expected."

(Confessional End)

"The Frogs of Death have the lead, but can they keep it?" Chris commentated. It cut to Wayne and Nichelle running, Nichelle already sweating a little. "Wayne, nichelle, there's a hornets nest right in front of you!" Emma shouted, causing the pair to stop.

"Murder Hornets! Don't forget the murder part, it makes them REALLY upset!" Chris interjected. "Murder Hornets!? Where the hell did you get those, and why!?" Damien screamed.

"*sigh* I've always been hoping for a contestant like him." Chris commented. It cut back to Wayne and Nichelle, now crouching under the hornets nests. "Yo, if I get stung, can you make sure it's not on my face!?" Nichelle exclaimed.

"Umm…no?" Chris and Chef shook their heads in confusion. At that moment, a horney landed on Wayne's hand, and stung him beneath one of his fingernails. "Ouch! That hurts like a-" But a hornet's nest landed on Wayne's head, cutting him off.

"*muffled screaming*" Wayne took off at high speed, forcing Nichelle to keep up with him. It cut back up to Millie, who was attempting to give instructions to Chase and Ripper. "Chase, Ripper, now shimmy at a forty five degree angle!" She shouted.

"I don't speak nerd!" Ripper shouted. "This way, I took Geometry!" Chase instructed and Ripper followed. The duo proceeded to step on several rakes that were on the ground, until slowly falling to the ground.

"...You said you took Geometry!" Ripper weakly yelled. "...I never said I passed." Chase groaned. It briefly cut back to Emma, who was quietly laughing at Chase's expense. This being noticed by Bowie, who smirked.

(Confessional)

Bowie- "Ooh, relationship drama! They definitely left on SUPER bad terms with each other, or at least Emma hates the man. Hopefully she'll let it out…if I don't know something, it drives me cray-cray."

(Confessional End)

It cut back to Wayne and Nichelle. Wayne was still running with the hornet's nest on his head. "Wait…*huff* slow down…*puff* now!" Nichelle cried out. And just then, Wayne crashed into the side of a rock, breaking open the nest, and the hornets leaving.

"Ughhh…hornets sting a lot worser than bumblebees…" Wayne said woozily. It panned a few feet away from them, to reveal the six buckets of chum they needed. "*gasp* Nichelle, Wayne, the chum is just a few feet to your right!" Bowie exclaimed through Emma's megaphone.

"Just…*panting* just a sec…*panting*..." Nichelle was heaving.

(Confessional)

Nichelle- "I'm an actress, I don't run. And when I do, it's not at the same pace as some dumb Hockey-Jock!"

Wayne- "These hornet stings ain't nothin', i've taken WAY worse bumps! Ain't that right Rajie?" [Puts arm around nobody]

(Confessional End)

Wayne and Nichelle were now slowly making their way back with four buckets of chum. Wayne was carrying three, two in his hands and one from his mouth. And Nichelle could barely manage one.

"Uh-oh! Chase, Ripper, Wayne and Nichelle already have four of their buckets! You need to hurry!" Millie shouted. "Woo! Go Wayne, show the Snow Owl spirit!" Raj was cheering. "Do you HAVE to do that so close to my ears!?" MK exclaimed.

It then panned over to Priya and Scary Girl at the other platform. "Great…my first challenge and i've been screwed over by random chance." Priya had her head in her hands. Meanwhile Scary Girl was sitting criss-cross, making a skull and crossbones in the sand.

It then briefly panned up to the contestants on the sidelines. "Hey, guess we won't be eating that chum after all." Caleb said. "And thank the Earth Mother, because fish are some of the most beautiful creatures in her garden." Julia added.

"...We're not getting pizza, are we?" Zee questioned. "Not with that attitude." Axel crossed her arms. It cut back to Chase and Ripper, who were covered in scrapes, bruises, hornet stings, and claw marks.

"Are we…there yet…Mama…?" Ripper hit the ground. "Yes! Now grab four buckets to match Wayne and Nichelle!" Millie exclaimed. "Don't tell me what to do…! But imma do that anyway." Ripper said, before he and Chase grabbed four buckets and ran off.

"The Frogs of Death are in the lead, but the Ferocious Trout are catching up. Let's hope that nobody drops their buckets, huh?" Chris nudged Chef, who rolled his eyes. "Come on Nichelle and…Waylon!" Emma called out.

(Confessional)

MK- [Laughing] "Damn, even I felt that."

Raj- "Hey, Wayne's name's not Waylon! Or…is it? Huh…I always thought it was Dewayne."

(Confessional End)

It cut to Wayne and Nichelle arriving with the first four buckets. "And the Frogs of Death arrive first!" Chris announced. "Alright, hand 'em over, big guy…and I guess you helped too." MK said.

Wayne set his three buckets down on the platform, and Nichelle set her one down. "Alrighty, now we pull!" Raj exclaimed, already yanking on the ropes. "WHOA! Slow down there!" MK shouted.

It next cut to Chase and Ripper arriving, somehow even more banged up." Your chum…is served." Ripper tried to be suave. "Anybody want to trade spots?" Chase asked. The two proceeded to put their buckets on the platform, and Priya grabbed her side of the pulley.

"Okay Scary Girl, pull with-" But Priya paused as she saw Scary Girl was still playing in the sand, completely uninterested with the challenge. "...Please?" Priya begged. It cut to Wayne, Nichelle, Chase, and Ripper now starting at different areas of the course.

"Things are all tied up, if even one bucket gets spilled it may be game over." Chris announced. "Remember, there's also the tiebreaker." Chef added. It first cut to Chase and Ripper running through the course, until…

"Stop! You're approaching a mud puddle!" Millie yelled. "Ha! A mud puddle?" Chase laughed as the duo walked forward. "We're not afraid of some wet- *gurgle*" Ripper said as they both walked into a deep mud puddle.

"Uh-oh! Forget Julia's Social Media posts…that was deep." Chris commented. "Pfft, whatever." Julia rolled her eyes. Chase and Ripper submerged, coughing up mud. "Just keep going straight, you got this!" Millie instructed.

"They could've drowned! Am I the only one concerned about how dangerous this all is!?" Damien exclaimed. "Keep moving forward! You got this!" Emma encouraged her teammates, ignoring Damien.

It cut back over to Chase and Ripper, wiping mud off their faces. "Hey, thanks for the help, babe! I can always count on you!" Chase grinned. "I'm not talking to YOU, Chase! You are doing terrible, and i'm not your "babe" anymore!" Emma stomped her foot.

"Seriously? Why are you so mad at me!? I didn't do anything to you!" Chase said, as if he did nothing wrong. "Didn't do anything…! DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!? Didn't…do…" Emma's eyes suddenly went wide.

"Uh, Emma…hello?" Bowie snapped his fingers in front of her face and got no reaction.

(Confessional)

Bowie- "Stuttering followed by a thousand-yard stare? Now I NEED to know what happened!"

(Confessional End)

Bowie took the megaphone from Emma's hands and took over as Navigator. "Wayne, Nichelle, move right and then keep going straight! There's some hot coals and I DOUBT they're the therapeutic kind!" Bowie shouted.

"You heard the man!" Wayne said as he and Nichelle turned right. Meanwhile it seems that Chase and Ripper restarted at an easy part of the course. "Keep going straight, and it's a direct shot to the buckets!" Millie directed.

"Hear that? Just smooth sailing from here to there!" Ripper said, before crashing into the platform containing the buckets…causing one of them to drop to the ground. "Ooh! And looks like one of the Ferocious Trout's buckets fell!" Chris commentated.

"Are you serious!?" Priya angrily shouted. "Hey, that's a good thing, right?" Nichelle asked. And then Wayne and Nichelle also bumped into the platform with the buckets. "I think it's a double-good thing!" Wayne giddily exclaimed.

"And to add insult to injury, the Frogs of Death now have their last two buckets." Chris once again commentated. "Quick, we gotta move it move it!" Chase told Ripper. And the duo began rushing through the course, powering through the obstacles.

"*gasp* Wayne, Nichelle! Chase and Ripper are powering through the course, you gotta get it in gear and make a straight shot to the finish!" Bowie ordered. It panned back over to the duo in question.

"Seriously, get my stuff wrecked by a bunch of traps?" Nichelle sassed. "Quick, give me your bucket and get on my back! I'm a piggyback champ!" Wayne yelled. It then briefly cut over to MK and Raj.

"Seriously?" "It's true, eh. Wayner's won the Prince Albert Piggyback Tourney three years running." MK and Raj conversed. It cut to a side-by-side shot of the two team duos, Chase and Ripper were brutally taking whatever was coming at them, while Wayne was shrugging off all the damage and Nichelle was screaming.

It all came to a head when…both Chase and Ripper crossed the finish line, but crashed into the platform, also spilling the last bucket. And Wayne crashed into another hornets nest, causing him to drop both buckets and run around in circles.

Chris proceeded to blow an airhorn, pausing things. "Well, looks like each team got four buckets onto their respective sides. Meaning that the tiebreaker's happening after all…" Chris ominously said, while the assigned Chum Eaters looked visibly worried…except Axel.

It cut to Caleb and Julia sitting at a small table, each with a bucket of chum in front of them. And then it panned over to Axel and Zee who had the same thing. "The first pair to finish both buckets of chum will win it for their team, simple as that." Chef explained.

And at that, the four began eating. Axel was shoveling the chum down her throat, Zee was hesitantly squishing a piece before popping it in his mouth…he didn't think it was half bad. As for Julia and Caleb, they were just picking at their buckets.

(Confessional)

Caleb- "Look, I consider my body a sacred temple. One that I don't normally disgrace with peasant food…or stuff that humans don't normally eat!"

Julia- "I am a certified health nut and fish activist, this is wrong on so many levels."

Zee- [Chewing] "Mmm…you can really taste the fish guts."

(Confessional End)

It cut back to Axel setting down an empty bucket on her table. "Easy, give me a challenge next time!" She wiped a piece of chum off her face. "...Okay, we need to suck it up and scarf this down." Caleb admitted.

"*groan* Fine, but I won't like it." Julia huffed. Caleb reached into the bucket, took a small bite of a single piece of chum, and immediately threw up. While Julia bit into a piece, and her face scrunched up. "...I think I just bit into an eye." She began tearing up.

At that moment, Zee set down his empty bucket. "*belch* Man, i've been sleeping on this stuff…got any more?" He casually asked. "And with that, the Ferocious Trout win our first challenge!" Chris exclaimed.

The Ferocious Trout cheered at their victory, while the Frogs of Death just looked on in defeat. "Ferocious Trout, you can head to the Dining Hall for a reward feast." Chef began. "Frogs of Death, meet me at the campfire pit tonight, because one of you is going home." Chris finished.

It cut to a nighttime shot of the eight members of the Frogs of Death walking to the fire pit. Some people were confident, some were uneasy, and others were indifferent. It then cut to them sitting on eight tree stumps, then Chris approached them.

"Frogs, welcome to the first elimination ceremony of the season. One of you will be the first voted out…and that will be embarrassing…you will probably get memed a whole bunch." Chris explained.

"Emma, you froze up during the challenge. Plus we still have no idea how you got that megaphone through security." Chef began.

(Confessional)

Emma- "Okay, I did mess up. But it wasn't my fault I froze up! From now on, i'm going to TRY and concentrate on the game and nothing but the game."

(Confessional End)

"Nichelle, you solidified the fact that not all actors do their own stunts…you really need to hit the gym sometime." Chef shook his head in disappointment.

(Confessional)

Nichelle- "Hey, it's not like I wasn't trying to win! And P.S. I don't just sit around in order to keep this physique."

(Confessional End)

"Caleb and Julia, you wouldn't eat the chum. And that led your team straight to the Loser's Circle." Chef explained.

(Confessional)

Caleb- "So maybe I could've tried a LITTLE harder…but that stuff was nasty!"

Julia- "I'm not worried, I had a premonition before the competition. I'm lasting a LONG time."

(Confessional End)

"You've cast your ballots, and now it's time to see who won't get a Marshmallow of Safety and Goodness." Chris said, taking a platter of marshmallows from Chef. "If you get a marshmallow, then you're safe. But if you don't, then you must leave down the Dock of Shame, get picked up by the Drone of Despair, and you cannot come back…EVER!" Chris explained.

"The first camper safe is…Bowie, MK, Wayne, Raj, Emma…and Nichelle!" Chris called out, leaving Caleb and Julia. "And the first person going home is…" Chris trailed off.

"Julia!" Chris exclaimed, throwing a marshmallow to Caleb. "W-What!?" Julia shouted, while Caleb just popped the marshmallow into his mouth. "I guess influencers just don't have a place here…" Bowie winked at Caleb, who winked back.

"Julia, it's time to go." Chris walked up. It proceeded to cut to an angry Julia walking down the Dock of Shame. "This is bull! Why'd those buttknuckles vote me off, I made zero enemies today!" Julia ranted.

"In fact, I should get my followers to cancel each individual-" But before Julia could finish, the Drone of Despair clamped the back of her tank top, and carried her off the island. "Wait, I haven't even gotten my phones back!" Julia cried as she was taken away.

Meanwhile, watching from a nearby bush, Bowie and Caleb were watching with great satisfaction.

(Confessional)

Bowie- "I might've mentioned to a few people that Julia was one of our weakest links, and getting rid of her now would help the team a ton…Caleb's the bigger threat, but our joined forces are alright for now. Again...I came for the crown."

Caleb- "I know Bowie plans to betray me eventually, but that's neither here nor there. I'm still in the game, I got an alliance, and that's all that matters…"

(Confessional End)

It cut back to Chris on the Dock of Shame. "Wasn't sure how that drone thing was gonna work out…but I like it." He said, impressed. "What do we have in store for challenge number two? That's for me to know and for you to find out…next time! Here on Total…Drama…Island!" Chris exclaimed.
