The TDU AfterMath logo flashed on screen, followed with the camera shot zooming into Don, Beth, and Leshawna who were standing on the stage, in front of the peanut gallery.
"Welcome back to the show!" Leshawna exclaimed. "If you've been following us so far, you'd know that we were auctioning off special packages and collaborations curated by today's interviewees. The long wait has finally been waited out! It's time to crown the highest bidders."
"Over the break we were able to calculate the highest bidders," Don said. "Don't worry however, if you did not win, you will keep the money you put up. But first, let's get a current total check from Dakota!"
"Hey Don," Dakota greeted. "I'm proud to announce that we've reached $913,000! We are super close to reaching one million dollars."
"Thank you Dakota," Beth thanked. "One by one, we'll have today's interviewees announce the winners of their package."
"You know something up for auction is called a Lot, right?" Cameron asked.
"Well we sure hope it's a lot for the prices they're paying!" Don laughed. "Nobody else found that funny? Are you kidding me?!"
"While Don realizes how good of a choice it was that he didn't go into comedy, let's have Owen come up first," Leshawna began. "Just state what you auctioned off, read the user name of bidder, and the total that they sent."
"Did everyone else hear that?" Beth asked.
The line of past contestants nodded behind Owen.
"Alright then," Owen began. "Winning an unlimited supply of Popped Promises and their snacks is… user OwensMotherLegit who had a bid of $18,229."
"Wait read that username again," Don ordered.
"It says Owen's Mother Legit," Owen read. "Heh that's odd, it's almost as if my mom bid 18 grand on… HOLY CANNOLI THAT'S MY MOM!"
"So your mom is just sitting on 18 thousand dollars?" Courtney asked.
"Owen this Lot was supposed to go to a viewer, not yourself by proxy," Beth exclaimed.
"But my mom is watching!" Owen said, as his pocket began to vibrate. "Oh that's her now!"
"Answer it!" Leshawna said.
"Hey mom!" Owen greeted. "Are you Owen's Mother Legit?"
"I sure am!" Owen's Mom said from the phone. "I gave birth to you, didn't I?"
"But mom, where did you get the money from?" Owen asked.
"I took out a second mortgage for the house!" Owen's Mom beamed. "I'll do anything to support my sweet big boy."
"Aww thanks mom!" Owen said. "I love you, I gotta go now."
"Bye O! I love you too," Owen's Mom said before hanging up.
"I guess poor financial decisions runs in his family," Jo shrugged in the background.
"Moving on, we have Emma and her Lot!" Beth exclaimed.
"I still don't get how my joke didn't land, was it the tone of my voice?" Don asked.
"Now is not the time!" Leshawna pleaded. "Let Emma talk!"
"Anyways, let's declare the winner of my study package with Learners World Wide," Emma began as Don handed her the envelope. "Congratulations to user SimplySara for your donation of $10,935. She also left a note with her donation. Sara said that watching my determination on the Ridonculous Race inspired her to pursue a career in law. She also managed to get her sister interested in going to college for video game design, rather than being a streamer. She plans to pass down her package to her sister and later family members."
"Did you adlib that?" Leshawna asked.
"No, it says so right here!" Emma exclaimed, looking to the camera. "Well thank you so much Sara for your amazing bid and story. I hope you and your sister enjoy this gift that'll keep on giving."
"Next up is Courtney!" Beth said.
Courtney walked up in Emma's position, "The winner of my Total Drama collector's violin set is… Tom from Muskoka, Canada!"
"I swear it was not me!" Tom clarified as Jen glared at him.
"Tom sent in a message," Courtney said. "Courtney, ever since being in your orchestra class at Garden Brooke High School, I knew you were a true talent and inspiration to many. I've enjoyed your journey or Total Drama, knowing I had a small part in it. With love, your old videographer, Tom."
"Do you know him?" Gwen asked.
"Yeah, I actually do!" Courtney said.
"I guess you could say she knows a lot of people," Don smirked.
"Can't believe I'm saying this, but you're making me want Chris back," Zoey said.
"Tom is the kid at my school who filmed my audition tape for Total Drama Island. We bickered a little bit during the process, but he was pretty nice," Courtney explained, looking up again. "Thank you so much Tom for your $47,342 donation!"
"How do you guys know people with all of this money?" Beth gasped.
"Up next, we have Lightning!" Leshawna began. "Let's start speed running these please."
"Winning my super awesome Motion bundle is user DaddyOfRudolph," Lightning read.
"That's disgusting," Gwen quipped.
"Girl, that's my father!" Lightning exclaimed. "He sent in a donation of $33,333!"
"This is getting out of hand!" Leshawna yelled. "How is DaddyOfRudolph your daddy?"
"Lightning's full name is Rudolph Jackson," Cameron said from the stands. "Lightning is just a nickname."
"That could easily be a troll though, how do we know that's really your dad?" Leshawna asked.
"Is there any other reason somebody would be called DaddyOfRudolph?" Lightning questioned.
"I don't even want to begin thinking of the other reasons," Leshawna shuddered. "Cody! You're up."
"Alright, the crazy fan winning never before released Total Drama Brothers merchandise is…" Cody began as he opened his envelope. "...ChrisMcLeanH8ter0827! This user left a donation of $51,949 and a special note."
"Finally a regular viewer," Leshawna sighed with relief.
"The note says, Cody, take care of my daughter." Cody read, pausing for a moment. "Yes this is Sierra's mom. I am now a certified Chris McLean hater in support of my baby Sierra. I sold all of my Chris McLean merchandise to put up this bid. Take care of my girl, you're part of the family now."
"I swear… I will walk off of set if this happens again," Leshawna threatened. "So far, Emma is the only one where an actual RANDOM viewer won the bidding."
"Thank you so much, Sierra's mom!" Cody said. "I will now pass this along to Zoey so she can take over."
"Okay, I promise you Leshawna, I don't know anybody who would be interested in bead kits," Zoey said. "With a donation of $12,482, user CarolineBasset wins the Lot! Caroline left a note too which reads…"
Zoey paused for a moment and closed the letter, "Thank you so much for your donation!"
"Well what does the note say?" Beth asked.
"It's not important," Zoey laughed nervously, glancing over to Leshawna.
Leshawna snatched the note from Zoey and began to read it out loud, "Sorry my boyfriend used to be a loud jock driving down Main Street cheering on the football team, I promise he has changed LOL."
"Okay so Caroline MIGHT be the girlfriend of one of the jocks I mentioned in my audition tape but I promise I don't even talk to her like that!" Zoey panicked.
"Just move on to Gwen," Leshawna demanded in a low, flat tone.
"I promise you Leshawna, I don't know anybody with enough money to buy something this expensive," Gwen laughed, looking at the camera. "It's time to crown the owner of a trip across the world, visiting many art museums on six different continents. The winner is user… MissDarianaZande7ThingsFan. This user sent in a donation of $103,953! That's insane!"
"There has to be a note attached to this one," Courtney said. "That's so much money."
"The note is very short," Gwen noticed, looking at it. "It says… look behind you."
Everyone lined up on stage turned around to the peanut gallery, just to see Emily awkwardly smiling and waving.
"Was this YOU?" Gwen asked.
Emily glanced back and forth from Gwen to Leshawna and shrugged, "Yes?"
"HOW?" Gwen yelled.
"I had to get rid of the rest of the money I allegedly stole from the airport!" Emily explained. "Plus I needed to plan my next trip anyways, and it's going to a great cause!"
"Leshawna? Are you okay?" Emma asked, looking over to her.
Leshawna's eye began twitching.
"I don't like silent Leshawna," Lindsay said. "She's scary."
"Let's get through this before she explodes," Beth rushed. "Lindsay read your card."
"Okay so the person going home with my personal collection of lip essentials is…" Lindsay began. "User Roanan&Chacita! Congratulations! They sent a total of $4,092! This donation does not come with a note."
"Then that's everything!" Beth exclaimed. "And if anybody here knows Roanan&Chacita, just pretend you don't! Let's now turn to Dakota and see our new grand total!"
"We absolutely crushed our goal of One Million Dollars!" Dakota declared as the entire studio uproared in applause and cheering. "Our new grand total… surpassing one million dollars is… $1,195,315! We have every single one of you watching to thank! Without you, we wouldn't have a show! And without a show, we wouldn't be able to do this wonderful work for Ezekiel."
"However, we must thank our donors!" Don said. "We really have a lot of kind hearted supporters."
"I swear Don," Leshawna began, her voice shaking. "If you say the word 'lot' again, I will put my fist through your soul."
"What should we do now?" Beth asked. "We reached our goal already."
"I think it's time we treat our audience to some never before seen lost Total Drama content!" Don said. "We have quite a… sum of audition tapes that have never been shown before. Owen, Gwen, Sierra, Alejandro, Shawn, Sky, Best Friends, Sisters, Jazelle, and even Leshawna and Beth's auditions to become AfterMath hosts."
"In Total Drama Island, Owen and Gwen were the finalists! Owen ended up taking the crown, but we never saw either of the audition tapes before!" Beth said. "Get your eyes glued to the screen, as you don't want to miss our segment of Total Drama Lost Media!"
The camera panned to the TV in the studio.
Owen's Island Audition Tape:
Owen was sitting on the living room couch with his Mom to his right and his Dad to the left.
"Hello!" Owen laughed. "My name is Owen and I live with my Mom and Dad. My mom saw your advertising online and wanted me to apply! And who am I to say no to free camp food?"
"I just know everyone will love my Big O!" Owen's Mom gushed. "He's been called many things, but never boring or unlikeable."
"Aw stop it Mommy!" Owen chuckled. "My parents say I'm very outgoing, loud, funny, and smart!"
"And this kid?" Owen's Dad began. "He is the best belcher in all of kalamazoo! He can do the Alphabet in one go!"
"He's currently working on O'Canada, but it's a work in progress," Owen's Mom added.
"If you choose me for your show, I will be sure to have fun everyday!" Owen said. "Fun isn't an experience, it's a lifestyle!"
Gwen's Island Audition Tape:
Gwen sat at the desk in her bedroom, filming her audition tape from her computer.
"Hey, my name is Gwen and I think I'd be a good contestant for your show," Gwen said. "People like to say that reality television will be the sole thing to rot our teenage brains out. Well you know what? It can't be half as bad as the blonde preppy popular girls who are constantly hanging on to boys and looking for shards to stab you in the back with. The way I see it, your reality show will save me from my reality. If you don't choose me, that's cool. Now that I think about it, the last thing I want to deal with is a preppy mean chick on a random island. But I guess it's too late now. So yeah… that's my audition for Total Drama Island. I'm turning this off now so… bye."
"That poor girl really thought she was being edgy and cool," Gwen cringed, shaking her head. "I was glad that it never saw the light of day."
"Sierra also sent in an audition for Total Drama Island, however she was not picked that season," Don said. "She also tried to audition for Total Drama Action even though it wasn't casting new contestants! Let's watch her lost auditions!"
Sierra's Island Audition Tape:
"Nobody is a bigger Chris McLean fan than my mother and I!" Sierra exclaimed while sitting on her bed. "Every night I go to bed watching your movies! I even have a shirt with the quote 'It's not badminton… it's GREATminton!' on it. I also have the CD from your boyband and I illegally downloaded the first episode of your cooking show that only lasted one episode. If anybody is made for your show, it's me! I even have the largest fan account dedicated to you! By the way, I'm currently blocked on MyTrace if you could please unblock me! My username is ChrisIsReallyReallyReallyReallyHot! Please pick me Chris McLean!"
Sierra's Action Audition Tape:
Sierra was sitting on her bed, hugging onto a pillow in the shape of Cody's head, "Hi! I'm Sierra again and I think you should cast me for this season! I applied for your first season but maybe you didn't see it! I loved the first show and all of the cast members. But there's somebody who I really want to get to know…"
Sierra moved closer to the camera, shoving the Cody pillow towards the camera lens, "You see him? I need him! Nobody is a bigger Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson fan than me! I need your help to get closer to Cody please! I'll do anything, Chris! I can work in the kitchen with Chef, or I can be an intern for you, or I can even clean the communal bathrooms! Please let me into Total-"
"It's safe to say that Sierra is pretty much the same," Beth laughed. "After Total Drama Action, Chris tried to make the cast think he was done with them! So he came up with Total Drama Dirtbags, which Alejandro was supposed to be a part of. Well, Alejandro had to send in an audition tape for that phony show and we have it cued up! Take a look."
Alejandro's Dirtbags Audition Tape:
"So I see you're looking for a cast of ruthless, dirty playing people," Alejandro said, as he stood in front of his mirror. "You see all of this? The ladies love this, and I love the ladies. People say that I can practically charm the pants off of anything. I wouldn't disagree, however I can also charm things that don't even wear pants. If you cast me for your Total Drama Dirtbags show, let's just say that I'll bring the dirt and I'll have the victory in the bag. I'll give those Total Drama nerds a real run for the money. Call me anytime."
"That was hard to watch," Alejandro shuddered.
"You're not special," Sugar quipped. "That was hard for all of us to watch."
"When we come back," Don began. "We'll continue looking at all of the Total Drama Lost Media footage. Don't go anywhere, as we still have a lot to cover after these com-"
"WHAT DID I SAY?!" Leshawna yelled, pouncing onto him.
"CUT THE CAMERAS!" Beth panicked. "We'll be right back!"
