The sassy girl strutted into the studio. "What's up, y'all?" Leshawna greeted as she saw Josh. "How are you doing?"

"Leshawna!" Josh exclaimed. "Welcome! Sit down and we'll start this interview right away. So, we'll go down in Island's elimination order and start off with Ezekiel. You only interacted with him maybe once on Team Victory?"

"That boy was clearly not meant for reality TV. The way he angered his teammates on the first challenge to just his general lack of skills was a bad combo right there. I figured he wasn't worth my time. Still, the whole feral thing was just plain awful to happen to him."

"Okay. Next up is Eva. We got her thoughts on your short feud in the merge episode. What about you?"

"Look, I understand her anger issues. I can get pretty nasty if I'm wronged. But UNLIKE her, I usually check to make sure I'm putting my anger at the right person, place and time. Hers is pure blind anger and that's not a good thing to have. Her treatment of Bridgette, someone who NEVER got upset at her, is clear proof of that. Hopefully Eva has that anger under control now."

"Interesting... Next comes Noah, the first person booted off the Gophers. Any thoughts?"

"Noah acted like a snobby know-it-all when the show first started, but the scrawny dude proved to be more good than he let on once World Tour and the spin-off show aired. I can't say we talk much, though."

"Let's move onto the next person." Leshawna looked at Justin's photo. "Boy, he's still dreamy," she gushed before shaking back to focus. "However, we weren't super-close during the competition."

"But he did lead the charge for your departure in Action," Josh pointed out.

"And honestly, I wouldn't fault him for how I was during that season. I'll admit I'm no saint and I can be a bit selfish at times. And even for reality show standards, I was in the wrong for that. I figured I might get cut sooner or later. I don't hold a grudge against Justin or even Duncan for that."

"Oh, interesting. Now the girls who were responsible for your elimination in Island, Katie and Sadie."

"Again, I don't hold a grudge against those two, even if they can be a tad squealing for me. The way Chris explained and worded it made sure that someone other than Heather would get booted. Add in the fact that he counted A DAMN PARROT AS A VOTE and you know he pulled the strings for drama. Those two girls are still sweet and they even donate some clothes to the charities I help out at. Still, the squealing."

"Aren't you quite forgiving? Next comes Tyler, who you competed alongside on various reality shows."

"Yeah, I remember that. He wasn't as serious about the competition as I was, which explained a few of my wins. Even sparked a small but friendly rivalry between us. In fact, I was kinda going to get him to tag along as a duo in that spin-off Ridonculous Race."

"Oh, this is new! We didn't hear this from Tyler."

"Well, the guy's nice and all, but his brightness is about the same as one lit match, so it probably slipped his mind. However, the cast was only eighteen duos and we got beaten out by the Father and Son duo, who were quite nice. I really enjoyed seeing them compete. But anyway, Tyler and I sometimes share a competition every now and then with our love interests cheering us on. You should've seen Lindsay and Harold in their cheer outfits. It was hilarious and touching all at once!"

"If only there was a picture to capture that. So, onto the next person." Leshawna looked at Izzy's photo next. "Boy, that girl was some kind of crazy," she commented. "I mean, she let herself get poison ivy on her face, for crying out loud! I honestly wasn't thinking when I partnered with her during the bike race. I just try to keep the others away from her in case her crazy is contagious."

"Okay," Josh replied. "Next comes Cody. Any thoughts on him?"

"Honestly, I didn't want to vote him out in Island, but the guy got mauled by a bear. He needed time to recover. But the little guy definitely got it worse come World Tour. I mean, who wants to be harassed by a crazy stalker that tried to trick him into marriage?! Cody's a nice guy, but he definitely deserved better."

"Now, this next one should be a bit interesting. What are your thoughts on Beth?"

"Well, for starters, she definitely earned that win on Action. I know people give her flack on the web for saying she shouldn't have won, but she did what very few people on Total Drama couldn't do: she didn't make any enemies. Really, the only reason she got kicked off in Island was because Heather hated her guts and used the whole curse stuff to her advantage. Speaking of which, I was proud that she broke away from Heather's influence and I was sad to see Beth get kicked off."

"But what about in Action? Things definitely were much more tense between the two of you."

"Things got more tense between me and most of the remaining cast after the whole spa day ordeal. Plus, I didn't buy Beth's claims of getting a boyfriend so quickly. But we eventually settled things by the time the merge hit and she was pretty bummed when I got voted off. We still remained fairly tight with each other, and she even helped me with my relationship with Harold by convincing me to finally make things official between me and him."

"So, the next one ought to be juicy." Leshawna groaned at Courtney's picture. "What that girl is is a spoiled princess!" she bitterly complained. "Even back in Island, the girl was such a whiner. She only got worse come Action, to the point where she BARGAINED WITH OUR LIVES! And yet people still praise her and call her innocent in that love triangle BS. And putting her as a Hero in All Stars? No way! I'm just glad she never won Total Drama because she definitely did not deserve to."

"Juicy!" Josh chuckled. "We'll save Harold for later, so next up comes Trent."

"The guy was pretty sweet back on Island and I really thought he and Gwen had something good going on. But when Gwen told me about Heather and Trent kissing, I swore that they would get it. It was only when it was too late that we realized our mistake. All was forgiven after I got cut, though. Come Action, I was a bit sad he and Gwen had to be on different teams. Something tells me Chris did it on purpose to squeeze out more drama between the two. Haven't they been through enough? And that poor kid got dragged through the mud ever since Action started. I'm just glad he recovered after the season ended. We're still on good terms and we even do friendly bets like with Lindsay remembering names and such."

"Oh, how nice. Next comes Bridgette. Now she said you two weren't really close."

"Honestly, we weren't. I was nice to her and such, but we really didn't start speaking until Island's merge. She was booted first in Action and I didn't see her until much later. World Tour was the only time we were ever on the same team, and even then, we didn't get the chance to talk much. After I was cut, I pitied her when I learned of Alejandro's true colors. I'm just relieved her and Geoff's relationship managed to survive after that."

"Okay. So, how do you feel about Lindsay? After all, she was allied with Heather."

"What the girl lacked in brains she made up with heart. I was never personally mad at her for whatever she did under Heather's thumb. Girl was being controlled by that witch. Really, the only time I ever remember her being truly mad at me was because of the spa hotel things, which I get. Like I said, I'd be mad at me, too. And we got along fairly well after that. We're still on good terms to this day."

"Alright. Let's move onto the next guy." Leshawna smiled at DJ's picture. "The sweet mama's boy," she chuckled. "Honestly, his worst qualities is his chicken little stuff and believing in curses. But other than that, it's clear that that boy was raised right. I think I was most surprised by him coming clean with his alliance with Chef and even standing up for him. Sadly, that was his high point in the competition. I'm glad he's doing better now."

"We did hear the same from him," Josh informed her. "Next comes Geoff, who you didn't interact with much."

"Nah, honey. He was nice and all, but we didn't really cross paths. The only time we really talked was in the Aftermath, where he was acting all kinds of nasty! Luckily, he snapped back to his senses. We don't really talk, though."

"This next guy should be interesting. What do you think of Duncan?"

"Boy, is that boy a complicated case. In Island, he was this typical 'bad boy' who just loved screwing with authority like Chris and Chef. Honestly, they deserved it, but the kid should've been a little careful of the recoil of his actions. Learned that one the hard way. But I did see some good in Duncan, like with him getting another bunny for DJ. But come Action and he started acting all sorts of nasty! Tormenting Harold like he was some sort of toy... It also didn't help that Courtney was whispering in his ear. He only got worse in World Tour by roping Gwen with that love triangle business. Those two were better off as friends, in all honesty. He had a chance to get better in All Stars, but he loused that up, too. Still, him going to prison was a bit much when other people such a as Courtney and Alejandro deserved it more. All in all, I'm not friendly with him, but I don't stop other people from being friends with him. I just tell 'em what they're in for."

"Quite the detail. Now we move onto your most famous rivalry. Your thoughts on Heather?"

"Ooh, she was such a bitch on the island! Bossing us around while not doing a damn thing herself! How a spoiled princess like that got to the Final Three is beyond me, but I was so happy that she got her dues. I still kept my guard up once Action rolled around. And honestly, I wished she got cut a little sooner, but I just couldn't ignore what Gwen did to Harold."

"But Heather later defended you before she was booted and you even called her a friend. So, what changed?"

"What changed is that Heather sent some pretty nasty stuff to Gwen during their blog war. Let's just say she crossed a line, okay? I had to side with Gwen over Heather. After that disaster, I severed my ties with Heather. Then World Tour came and, well, you saw what happened. In retrospect, her warning was...right. I don't talk to Heather no more, though. Had enough of that drama to last a lifetime."

"Very interesting. Wonder what the other side of the coin will be. Now from enemies to friends for our next person." Leshawna smiled at Gwen's picture. "Girl was definitely one of the sweeter ones at camp," she began. "Sure, she sometimes was grumpy and didn't socialize much, but she's definitely one of the good people at camp and my best pal. We were each other's rocks, you know."

"So if you two were so close," Josh asked, "Then why did you vote her off in Action?"

"It was only because we found out about her throwing challenges for the Grips, which kinda disappointed me. It didn't help that she smacked poor Harold upside the head with a shovel. But after I was eliminated, Gwen explained the whole story to me and we managed to make amends. World Tour was...well, something. I was one of the first to notice that Gwen started to like Duncan romantically, and while Gwen tried to deny it, I just told her what kind of man he was while he was dating Courtney and warned her to be careful. But you saw how well that played out. And...I was kinda sad to see Gwen try to crawl back to Courtney. She deserved much better than her."

"So how did you react when seeing her in All Stars?"

"That season was quite the disaster, but seeing Gwen try to 'make amends' with Courtney...it was just pitiful. At least Gwen's friendships with Cameron and Zoey were much better. Plus, she was finally able to see Courtney's true colors in the end, so that's a plus. Gwen and I are still good buds to this day even with the rough patches."

"Nice to hear. I always liked seeing your two's friendship while rewatching the show. Next up is Owen. Any thoughts on him?"

"The big guy's sweet, but he can sometimes get on my nerves, like with the pee thing and eating all the ribs. Still, I gotta admire the skills the boy had when he used them, like in the dodgeball game. Even with him becoming a mole for Chris, you could understand it because his family needed the money. What happened to him getting conned by Alejandro was pretty sad to see, but at least he got better in Ridonculous Race and he was actually the best wingman to that string bean Noah. Were still friendly with each other."

"Alright. Next is Sierra, someone you've already shown a little dislike to."

"Well, of course I dislike someone who harasses people! Sierra kept getting into everyone's personal business in World Tour and the stuff she did to Cody should've gotten her put in juvie! I didn't bother with her then; I don't bother with her now."

"Most of the others agree with you. Now comes Alejandro, the guy-"

"That's a complete bastard!" Leshawna angrily cut off. "I feel so ashamed for falling for his charms and letting him take advantage of me. And after I got cut, I saw what he did to Harold and Bridgette and DJ and all the others he conned. I wish he never made it to the finale or onto All Stars."

"Definitely a lot of hate there," Josh noted. "Now we finally get to Harold. We heard his perspective, but what made you fall for him?"

"Well, the guy was scrawny and awkward, but he was one of the sweeter guys from the Bass. I first started getting his poems right after the fear challenge, and boy, does that kid know his way with words! When Harold confessed that he was the author, I was stunned and filled with so much joy that I...we just puckered up right then and there."

"But during the Island special, you broke up with him."

"And I explained to him why. We were just moving too fast and I didn't want things becoming sour between us. So I decided that we should take things nice and slow. Unfortunately, we still had some rough patches."

"You mean the spa day stuff?"

"Yeah, and I understood why he picked to vote me off instead of Duncan. I messed up. And while we did sometimes bicker in World Tour, it never got as bad as things did before. After the third season ended, me and Harold got to talking again and we finally made things official between us, with Beth's help, of course. After our time on reality TV, Harold and I decided to settle down with a family."

"But Harold informed me that you were planning to adopt a child, right?" Leshawna then got a bit of a sad look. "Yeah," she sighed. "I...I was devastated when I found out I couldn't have a child on my own. But sweet Harold still found a way to make our dreams come true. That's one of the things I love about the man."

"How about we move onto the last few questions?" Josh suggested. "So, did you meet with any of the other casts?"

"Well, I did meet a few of them. From the Revenge cast, Harold introduced me to Sam and I gotta say I was a HUGE supporter of his relationship with Dakota and was kinda rooting for him in All Stars. Gwen introduced me to Zoey and she's sweet even if she can sometimes be as bland as a mild cheddar cheese. From the Pah-kay-tie...Pa-na-tew...the third cast, I met Jasmine and the twins, though Amy is a downright bitch! Strange that she's a fan of mine. Oh, and that Leonard guy was funny as all get-out! The guy may get all crazy with his LARPing, but at least he has his friend Tammy that shares an interest in his games."

"Very interesting. And what do you think of the new cast?"

"Definitely a bit of a mixed bag. People give Caleb too much flack for what happened in season 2 of the reboot and it turned that Priya girl into a bit of Courtney. Julia's awful, Chase's awful, Emma was bad to go back to him, Nichelle was all talk and no walk, Ripper's gross, Scary Girl's downright psycho and I'm not sure what to think of MK and Bowie. The others are kinda alright, though."

"And that concludes the interview. Thank you for your time, Leshawna. I gotta say, you were my favorite to interview so far and probably the best from the original cast."

"Aw, thanks, sugar. Hope the others don't give you too much trouble." Just then, Leshawna's cell phone rang. "Hello?" she answered. After a second, tears started coming to her eyes. "Thank you! Thank you! Thank you! You're an angel, honey!" She hung up the phone. "That was the adoption agency," she explained to Josh. "The papers were just approved. Harold and I got our family!"

"Congrats," Josh complimented. "Glad to see some good fortune your way."

"Yes! I gotta let Harold know. Bye now!" Leshawna happily skipped out of the studio. "Good for her," Josh sighed as he adjusted his papers. "Now let's see tomorrow's interview will be...oh, the infamous punk himself. Interesting..."

The sassy sister is done! So, I mainly touched on Leshawna's friendships like with Gwen and Tyler and her many rivalries like with Courtney and Heather. Speaking of which, I think the explanation for why Leshawna would drop Heather as a friend from Action to World Tour. I also touched more on her relationship with Harold, with her dreams of having a family finally coming true.

Next comes the juvenile involved in the first-ever love triangle and who likes destroying mountains and mansions...I mean, cottages. Until next time, this is Dunsparce519 saying enjoy and have a good day.
