The chatterbox stepped inside the studio. Her hair had grown back and was pulled into a ponytail with a pink bow in it, she wore a blue skirt and her pink jacket was opened to show a purple-and-blue swirled shirt. "Hi!" she greeted as she sat down next to Josh. "I'm so excited for this interview. Just think: I'm the first Revenge cast member to get interviewed!"
"Probably because you were the first boot of the season," Josh reminded her. "So, we'll go in Revenge's elimination order, starting with Dakota."
"Yeah. When I first saw her, I honestly just thought she was like a blonde version of Heather. I actually watched a few episodes of TDI before auditioning for the show and I saw how cruel Heather could be and I kinda figured Dakota would be the same. In fact, Dakota was more focused on cameras than the challenge. It's why I voted for her at elimination. But as I watched the show from the Playa de Losers resort, I was proven wrong and I'm relieved I was. She was so nice, especially towards her boyfriend Sam. A real shame what happened to her, but I heard she's back to normal now."
"Oh, interesting. Now we move onto silent B."
"His idea to get us ahead was pretty smart. In fact, smart sums him up pretty well. I was shocked to see him get cut third since he was such a huge help to the Rats, but he explained how Scott sabotaged him. And by 'explain', I mean he wrote it down since he can't talk. I think he's a nice guy and I think he even teaches a robotics class now."
"So next comes Dawn, and even she was glaring at you after the first challenge."
"Yeah, looking back, I guess I should've seen how others reacted to my stories about my family. After the show, Dawn actually helped out a little with that. She figured the reason was that I was lonely and she introduced me to Anthony and Elias, and those guys are a blast to hang around. I am grateful to Dawn for helping, but I can't say we're close or anything."
"Are you possibly close with Sam, by any chance?"
"Um, not really, but after I was cut, he was one of the guys I was rooting for to win. I liked that he had this positive upbeat spin to most stuff and like I said before, his relationship with Dakota was so sweet! It's sad that he got the short end of the stick in All Stars. Deserved better."
"So, what about Brick? Any thoughts on him?"
"I think he's really nice and noble. When he came to Playa de Losers, I felt really bad he was voted off after he saved the Maggots. That was so sad. While we didn't really talk much, he's a swell person just like my great-great-great-great grandfather Eric. He fought in World War I in Canada's army."
"I had a feeling that would come up sooner or later. Let's just move onto the next person." Staci frowned at Anne-Maria's photo. "She's the first person here that I have more of a negative opinion on," she admitted. "The clay thing on the boat I get cause it came off as a bit mean, but she's mean to others who don't really deserve it. Like when she quit, she started ranting about how the game cheated her, but it was her choice to leave. Plus, she planned to pummel Dawn over a simple they which she did not do! I mean, yeah, there are worse people than her, but I don't wish to talk to her."
"Alright," Josh said. "Onto the next person." Staci looked at Mike's picture next. "I kinda feel bad for him," she admitted. "I mean, I don't know much about his condition, but I understood why he might be outcasted because of it. Still, not being clear with Anne-Maria and Zoey did cause a bit of problems and even his own elimination. He's still nice deep down and I see why Zoey fell for him."
"Interesting," Josh remarked. "So next comes Jo. Any thoughts on her?"
"Just that she's super mean and pretty cruel with those nicknames of hers. Couch Potato for Sam, Spray Head for Anne-Maria, Soggy McGee for Brick, and guess what she had for me when she was finally cut? The Chubby Chatterbox! I honestly ended up in tears for the rest of the day for how hurtful it felt. After the season ended, I made sure we never interacted again."
"Wow. Sounds pretty harsh even by Jo's standards. Let's move onto Scott now."
"Is it any wonder most of the Revenge cast disliked him? If he didn't screw people over like with B and Dawn and Mike, he was kinda acting like a jerk. But I did hear he softened up a bit, so I don't think he's a lost cause like some of the other TD people I've heard about."
"Okay. So, Zoey saved you from drowning in the first episode."
"I think she's pretty sweet...most of the time. I think the show can bring out the worst in people and Zoey definitely got thrown into the wringer there. I mean, she did kinda jump the gun with her assuming Mike liked her, and she did boot Dakota despite claiming she was a friend and let's not forget that Commando phase. But she's still considerate of people, with her and Cameron probably having the tightest friendship I've seen on the show."
"Quite some detail. So, Lightning was another of your teammates. Any thoughts on him?"
"Well, he's better than Jo or Scott or Anne-Maria, but not by much. He's, like, totally arrogant and prideful all the time, and it only got worse when I saw him reach the merge. I know people say he was nice to Cameron in the air challenge, but I think he was more mad at Jo for feeding him to Fang. And how he was in the final episodes... No wonder nearly everyone sided with Cameron in the finale."
"Speaking of which, Cameron is the last of your cast to cover. You two never really interacted, though."
"No, but from watching the show at the losers' resort, I could tell he was a smart guy and pretty nice. He definitely earned his spot in the finale and I was so happy when he decided to share the money with everyone. I also pity what he went through in All Stars, first with Sierra stalking him then to Mal telling him everyone's out to get him... He's still doing well, from what I've heard."
"So, probably a stretch to ask, but did you interact with the Gen 1 or Gen 3 casts?"
"Honestly, most of them didn't want to approach me. Even Ezekiel and Beardo got more attention, and they were first boots, too. But don't worry; I have some friends outside Total Drama."
"Last question: what do you think of the new Reboot cast?"
"My favorite has got to be Axel. She's so tough and independent, but also pretty nice deep down. Though I personally think she deserves better than Ripper. The others are okay at best like Caleb or annoying at worst like Nichelle and Julia."
"Okay. Thank you for your time, Staci. I honestly thought it would be worst."
"Well, my great-great-great grandfather Jimmy was a reporter for the paper, so I think I've got my interviewing skills from him. Okay, bye!" Staci happily walked out of the studio. "I knew at least one of those stories would crop up," Josh muttered. "Now who's next? Oh, Miss Milton herself. I wonder if the studio will be big enough to fit her."
The chatterbox is done! So, Staci was admittedly kinda tricky since she was a first boot and only showed for one season. But I think I did her well and she has only a few people she dislikes, with the biggest one probably being Jo, in my opinion.
Next interview will be a celebrity fan favorite, so get ready the cameras and paparazzi and- Put away that mutant spray. She won't hurt us. Until next time, this is Dunsparce519 saying enjoy and have a good day.
