The TDU AfterMath logo flashed on screen before zooming into the studio to show Beth sitting on the couch by herself.
"Welcome back to the show, everyone!" Beth exclaimed. "As you can see, Don and Leshawna are not on the couch with me because they are taking care of some matters behind the scenes. Heh heh…"
"Beth, are you okay?" Lindsay asked.
"Yeah… I just realized that it'll only be me hosting the show for the rest of the episode," Beth chuckled. "That'll go over well… hopefully."
"What if you had two other people assist you?" Ella advised. "Or you can take this moment to shine for yourself!"
"Ella and I can host the rest of the show!" Sugar exclaimed.
"Um…" Beth hesitated.
"Sugar, that's not what I meant," Ella laughed. "But if Beth doesn't have problem with it…"
The audience applauded at the idea of Sugar and Ella cohosting.
"I think they decided for us," Beth laughed. "Come on over girls."
"Yeehaw!" Sugar yelled as her and Ella walked over to the main couch. "I've always wanted to host my own show! Let's roll the clips!"
"Yes, but roll them gently please," Ella said.
"We have to segway into the clips. I'll demonstrate for you," Beth began, shifting to the camera. "Before we left off, we took at look at never before seen audition tapes for the show! It's time to kick back and watch the rest in a segment we like to call Total Drama Lost Media! After Total Drama AllStars, Chris had a whole new set of contestants audition for him. Shawn and Sky were casted for Pahkitew Island, but we never saw their audition tapes in full. Let's take a look at them now!"
Shawn's Pahkitew Audition Tape:
"I'm Shawn!" Shawn greeted, sitting on top of a tree. "Some people refer to me as a paranoid zombie freak. The way I see it, everyone should have an irrational fear of the undead coming to life and taking over!"
Shawn jumped down from the tree, now showing us the view of a playground, "I think we should be teaching kids now that being ready for a zombie apocalypse is common sense! I'm stealthy, resourceful, and can play a wicked armpit solo."
A little girl walked up to Shawn and waved to him, "You smell funny."
"Oh yeah?" Shawn asked. "That's a good thing! Any scent that repels zombies from eating your brains out is a scent for me!"
The girl, who was now getting scared, folded her hands and looked up at Shawn, "Zom- Zombies?"
"Yeah kid! They're coming for your brain!" Shawn exclaimed. "They're going to bite right through your curly little head and add you to their undead army!"
"AAAHHHH!" The little girl screamed as she ran away crying.
Shawn looked back up at the camera, "I think that kid learned a valuable lesson today!"
The audience and peanut gallery were too stunned to say anything. Shawn slumped back into his seat, trying to hide himself.
"There aren't enough box cutters in the word to unpack whatever the heck that was," Duncan snarked.
"Shawn? How could you?" Ella gasped. "We don't live in a fairytale, you know!"
"That's rich coming from you, but carry on," Emma and Noah mumbled in unison.
"Okay please neither of you guys do that again," Kitty said.
"Look guys, I thought that was the appropriate thing to do at the time!" Shawn said. "Can we move on to Sky's boyfriend Keith?"
"Oh you're going there?" Sky gasped. "At least I didn't make a little girl run away crying!"
"Eh, Dave was essentially the same thing," Topher shrugged.
"Shut up, Topher," Sky barked.
"I think it's time to keep the tea hot and to roll the clip of Sky's audition tape! Let's see it!" Sugar called.
Sky's Pahkitew Audition Tape:
Sky stood in her bedroom and quickly waved to the camera, "Hi! I'm Sky! I'm a big fan of your past seasons and I think that my gymnastic training could make me a really good competitor on your show. What are some things that make me stand out compared to other people? Well I'm fluent in Cree, have a really strong diaphragm, and have scholarship offers because of my gymnastic skills. I'm trying to follow in my big sister's footsteps, she's my biggest role model. And if I do get on the show, I'll really miss my boyfriend, Keith! Keep me posted, I'm excited to hear back. Bye!"
"See? It wasn't even that big of a deal," Sky said.
"True, it was blown out of proportion a bit," Beth shrugged. "Ella, would you like to do our next segway?"
"I'd be delighted!" Ella gleamed, looking at the audience. "After Pahkitew Island aired, Don began his show called the Ridonculous Race! That's where we met Carrie, Devin, Emma, and Kitty! Let's watch their original audition tapes! Please gently roll the clips, thank you so much!"
Best Friends (Carrie and Devin) Ridonculous Race Audition Tape:
Carrie and Devin sat together at a restaurant booth.
"Hello! My name is Devin and this is my homie, Carrie!"
Carrie blushed and looked at the camera, "We've been close ever since we were kids. Devin has always been by my side."
"And Carrie has always been by my side," Devin said. "Once I found out my girlfriend Shelly couldn't be on the show with me, I knew Carrie would be the next best option."
Carrie nervously laughed and looked at the camera, "Which is why we're auditioning as best friends. You know what they say right? Friendships last forever…"
"And relationships last for an eternity!" Devin interrupted, smiling down to her.
"I'm not exactly sure that's how the saying goes, but okay!" Carrie chuckled as she took an awkward sip of her milkshake.
"Shelly is the best!" Devin said, looking back at the camera. "She's really determined, even spending extra time at her tennis lessons."
Carrie choked on her milkshake before clearing her throat.
"Are you okay?" Devin asked.
"Sorry… yeah! Just um… wrong pipe," Carrie said. "Anyways, Devin and I would love to be on your show because together, we can conquer anything. Right Devin?"
"Definitely!" Devin agreed. "We'll see you soon! Love you Shelly!"
Carrie reached over the table to the camera, "Okay let me turn this off now-"
Sisters (Kitty and Emma) Ridonculous Race Audition Tape:
Kitty and Emma stood together in Emma's bedroom, there were books on her shelves and a globe on her desk.
"Hi! My name is Emma and this is my sister, Kitty," Emma greeted, folding her hands.
Kitty smiled and eagerly waved to the camera.
"Okay that's enough," Emma snapped, lowering Kitty's arm. "We're sisters."
"You already said that," Kitty pointed out.
"Just let me do it!" Emma pleaded. "I'm majoring in Law right now and could really use the money for schooling. I'm thinking of an 80-20 split of the money."
"What? I didn't agree to that!" Kitty exclaimed.
"Kitty, you don't need the money like I do," Emma insisted.
"So you need the money so you can drown yourself in books easier rather than dealing with your relationship problems?" Kitty asked.
"Really? Now why would you say that in our audition tape?" Emma asked, motioning her hands to the camera. "I said we're not revealing personal information while doing this."
"That's the entire point of the audition though," Kitty said.
"Let's do another take then," Emma said.
"It's too late for that- the camera is about to die," Kitty said.
"What?" Emma gasped. "I thought I asked you to charge it overnight-"
The camera turned off, before turning on again to a new angle. This time, you could tell Kitty was filming from her phone.
"Don't worry Emma, I'll edit the clips together," Kitty said.
"Are you sure your phone isn't going to die?" Emma asked. "With how much you're on it, I wouldn't be surprised if it's on life support."
Kitty smiled and lifted the angle higher, making Emma's forehead look bigger.
"Kitty, stop messing around!" Emma snapped.
"Come on Ems, you look so unflattering!" Kitty laughed.
"Just turn it off already!" Emma yelled, walking away from Kitty.
Kitty smiled at the camera and kissed the camera lens, "Cast us as team sisters! Bye!"
"Are you kidding me?" Emma asked. "We filmed another one after that, this one should've been discarded."
"That's the one Kitty sent in," Beth said.
"The other one was so boring!" Kitty said. "The one we just watched got us onto the show."
"Ooh you're lucky," Emma stated, grinning a little.
"We have two more audition tapes to go!" Beth said. "Up next is Jazelle's audition tape for Total Drama Ultimate. Jazelle arrived this season quite unexpectedly, so how was she even chosen you may be asking? Well Jazelle has been in other shows such as Fashionista Flip-Flop, so it's safe to assume that her connections helped her out. Here is her audition for this season."
Jazelle's Ultimate Audition Tape:
Jazelle stood in her living room, with a concerned expression on her face, "Is it on?"
A boy's voice could be heard behind the camera, "We're rolling, go for it."
"Okay, hello Total Drama producers!" Jazelle greeted. "My name is Jazelle and this is my audition for Total Drama Ultimate. Filming me behind the camera is my younger brother, Timmy."
"Yo what's up!" Timmy exclaimed behind the camera.
"Anyhow, I'm auditioning for your show because a little birdie told me you were casting again," Jazelle said. "I think I'd be really good for your show because I look good on camera, have strength and experience in sports, and have a recognizable image. I was a contestant on Fashionista Flip-Flop, coming in second place. I know my way around reality television, so I have no problem with coming along to stir the pot a little bit. Just as a brief background though, I was raised in a tiny apartment by my Aunt and Uncle after my mother and father passed away. Through school sports, I got into modeling and have been featured in issues such as Tennis Racks and The Big Jump. I'm available as soon as you need me and will give it my all."
"She's also single," Timmy added.
"Shush!" Jazelle demanded. "Anyways, I hope to see you soon!"
"With that, we have seen every contestant's audition tape in Total Drama history!" Beth exclaimed.
"That's so exciting!" Ella said.
"Now, it's time to look back at how Leshawna and I got our position," Beth said. "You're getting warned now, it's a bit of a trainwreck."
"Roll the clip!" Sugar hollered.
Leshawna and Beth's AfterMath Co Host Audition Tape:
Beth stood in front of the camera, looking off to the side. Beth was wearing a costume of a honey jar.
"Come on Leshawna, it can't be that bad!" Beth insisted.
"Girl, it's more than 'that bad,'" Leshawna said off camera. "I thought I was going to be in a cute dress, not this!"
"I think you look fantastic," Beth said.
Leshawna walked out, wearing a jalapeno costume, "You dressed me up as a pepper!"
"Because I'm the sweet and you're the spice!" Beth exclaimed.
"Let's just get it over with," Leshawna growled.
Beth looked at the camera and smiled, "Leshawna and I are the perfect dynamic for these hosting positions! I'm the nice…"
Leshawna shook her head, "...and I'm the spice."
"Together, we'll show our viewers the hot seat while always being compassionate," Beth said.
Leshawna sighed, "We'll get the tea for…"
"WAIT!" Beth interrupted. "We should've done a cup of tea and a sugar packet!"
"I'm not dressing up as another food item," Leshawna argued, stripping the costume off. Underneath was her normal clothing.
"Leshawna, what are you doing?" Beth asked.
Leshawna looked into the camera, "We know the contestants, we know the drama, we know the questions to ask, and we know how to keep the show entertaining. Who else are you going to pick? Katie and Sadie? Let's be reasonable and make the smart choice here."
"Who said you could play that disgusting tape of me?" Leshawna asked, walking back onto the stage. Don followed her.
"You guys are back?" Beth asked.
"You didn't really think we'd let you close the show by yourself, did you?" Don asked. "Let's wrap this up."
"Wait… I have a surprise for everyone!" DJ exclaimed, running over to them. "You're gonna love it."
"We're on a time crunch, DJ," Leshawna said.
"I promise you, it's worth it!" DJ said. "Everyone, please welcome today's very special guest… Ezekiel!"
Ezekiel crawled out onto the stage, approaching the peanut gallery.
"Eugh! Get this beast away at once!" Max called.
"He's not a beast," DJ said as we walked over to Ezekiel. "We have something very exciting for you!"
Ezekiel looked over to Dakota, and then the screen above her.
"Can we get a final total?" Beth asked.
"After today's long telethon episode… we have garnered a final total of… $1,500,000!" Dakota declared. "This money will go to Ezekiel's recovery."
Ezekiel looked out to the crowd, and for the first time in years, smiled.
Everyone applauded in the studio.
"Thank you again to everyone who donated money today," Don exclaimed. "Together we exceeded our goal and are righting the wrongs of Chris McLean."
"Be sure to tune into the next episode of Total Drama Ultimate, as our final fifteen competitors are thrusted into the merge!" Leshawna said.
"I'm Don…"
"I'm Beth…"
"And I'm the luscious Leshawna…"
"...and this has been TDU the AfterMath Telethon Special!" The three hosts yelled in unison.
Everyone began cheering as the screen faded to black.
