———Episodes———

Episode 1-

Introduction to concept. Characters see the advertisement for the game show and contemplate going on it. The winner gets a million dollars!

Episode 2-

Introduction to characters via their audition videos. Kiyoteru chooses contestants.

Episode 3-

The audition videos are wrapped up… Kiyoteru’s decisions finalize. Then, the fateful day comes. Everyone is flown to the island… they realize it’s not a tropical island in the Pacific like they were shown. It’s in the wilderness of Nova Scotia.

Episode 4-

Everyone arrives at Total Drama Island and meets each other. Some get along, and many clash.

Notable big-drama-causers include Tei, Eleanor, Dandy, Parsec, Cider, Merli sometimes, and Zatsune sometimes.

Koto, Teto, Genbu, Ritsu, Haiyi, Daina, and Dex stick out for being especially wild.

But really, everyone’s unique personality contributes to the drama and pot of chemistry in their own way.

Another camper who sticks out is Gakupo Kamui, who enthusiastically boasts about his skills in martial arts and how ready he is to win Total Drama Island. He begins to get on the nerves of the other campers.

“I can out-run, out-kick, out-sing, out-wit, and even out-PISS anybody else here.” Gakupo says.

“Well, can you do us a favor and GET-out?” Meiko says.

Episode 5-

Campers have to jump off a one thousand-foot cliff into a shark-infested lake. Then they have to pull some crates back to camp, and the team from before with the most people who jumped get carts to help them. Then they have to build a hot tub from material found in the crates. The team with the best hot tub wins the challenge.

The campers who were too scared to jump off the cliff have to wear chicken costumes for the rest of the day.

Despite his incessant bragging previously, Gakupo is one of the few campers who does not jump off the cliff, because it is revealed he is scared of heights, sharks, AND deep water! He even pisses himself and dramatically faints when he gets close to the edge of the cliff... and then he faints off the cliff! However, his jump isn’t accounted for, because Gakupo was not conscious during his fall. Luka has to be the one to jump in after and rescue him! This causes Gakupo of The Dangerous Dolphins to be the first campter voted off.

“Well… I guess he was right about out-pissing everyone here.” Neru laughs.

The other campers too scared to jump are Taya, Dandy, Eleanor, Clara, Muxin, Chris, and Kaito.

Haku is at first too scared, but her best friend Neru encourages her to be brave. They jump together and yell funny things on the way down.

Even though Eleanor is scared, she ends up going over anyway after Chiyu pushes her off the cliff, being sick of Eleanor’s arrogance. However, it isn’t even accounted for, because Eleanor did not jump by her own will.

Clara is too frightened and doesn’t make the jump, which is surprising, because she was so enthusiastic before. However, her boyfriend Bruno had jumped without her…

Taya takes one look down the cliff and starts backing away, crying from fear. He feels ashamed that he’s so scared, but he cannot help it. He gets pats on the back from Clara.

Dandy is scared and makes an excuse as to why he can’t jump. He says he has an open wound from a fencing accident. In reality, Dandy does not fence.

Muxin is too scared, but asserts that he doesn’t have to jump off the cliff if he doesn’t want to, and that the challenge is ridiculous. He then comforts Taya, who is curled up sobbing, and tells him not to feel shame. Taya and Muxin become friends, but sadly are on different teams.

Chris is too scared and actually starts crying too. People don’t expect it.

Kaito is scared to jump, panics and makes a bit of a scene, and is then picked on and belittled by his brother Akaito for the rest of the day. Kaito then vows he will become braver from here on. Braver, and stronger!

Leeds actually does jump from the cliff, but the stress causes her heart to become weak and she has trouble walking for the rest of the day. Some of the members on her team rudely deem her a nuisance, but others tell her to take it easy and understand her.

Afterwards, Clara gets a bit sour at Bruno, who is her boyfriend, for jumping the cliff without noticing she was too scared.

Koto jumps the cliff and she actually has fun. But afterwards, she wears a chicken suit anyway, because she loves birds.

Episode 6-

The challenge is to stay awake the longest in the "Awake-A-Thon" after running twenty-kilometers and eating a huge meal that includes turkey, which is known for making people sleepy.

Dell of The Killer Porpoises gets voted off for falling asleep first. He generally has a bad attitude and is apathetic. Haku feels heartbroken because Total Drama Island was the first time she had seen Dell since her parents’ divorce (by complete chance, even,) and he is not the warm person he used to be. Also, their time together was so short. But unexpectedly, Dell acts nice to Haku right before he leaves, calling her to his room when he’s packing to go off the island. They have a nice conversation. Before Haku says goodbye, Dell says “Listen, I’m just not cut out for this wacky game. So you better win. I KNOW you can do it.” Haku begins crying and hugs Dell. Just like when they were kids.

There will eventually be a list here of who falls asleep first to last, but that’s quite convoluted. So I will say Dell falls asleep first, and Ruko second. Campers were not allowed to drink coffee during the challenge, rendering our Long Sleeper without access to her “secret weapon.”

Koto stays up the longest, because she is a bird lover and loves birds too much to consume them. Therefore, she was the only one who didn’t eat any turkey with her meal, and didn’t become as sleepy as the others! Also simply because Koto is badass and feral.

Episode 7-

A best-of-five dodgeball game. Five people are randomly chosen on each team. This is repeated three times for a total of three rounds of dodgeball. The Dangerous Dolphins win 2 out of 3 games.

Zatsune of The Killer Porpoises gets voted off for being scared of dodgeball. It was a fear ingrained into her from her elementary school days, when the “dodgeball kids would bully her.” Sadly, since Zatsune always acts so cocky, nobody feels much sympathy now.

Taya and Muxin want to spend time with each other. Being on different teams, they can’t, and are deemed traitors. But when Tei, on Taya’s team, suggests Taya could get valuable information about the other team via Muxin, Taya refuses to sabotage their friendship. This causes Tei to begin picking on Taya…

Episode 8-

A three-on-three talent show contest. Dex of The Killer Porpoises gets voted off for no reason. He wasn’t even in the talent show!

Dandy wanted to get chosen by his team, the Dangerous Dolphins, to be in the talent show, claiming his “talent” was unmatched. However, he wasn’t chosen because he didn’t exactly have any real actual skills despite his claim!

Taya, Luka, and Gumi are eventually chosen by the Dangerous Dolphins for their talents in music. Luka will play piano, Taya will play the guitar, and Gumi will play the electric bass as they all sing a song cover. This causes Dandy to criticize their every note and call them amateur. Given Taya and Gumi’s low self-esteem, Dandy’s criticism gets to them before the final talent show.

As for the Killer Porpoises, Yuuma, Ritsu, and IA get chosen as the team’s musicians. They form more of an idol dance group, with a pre-recorded background track. (It will also be a cover.)

The Dangerous Dolphins actually win. If they were to have lost, Dandy would’ve probably been the one voted off for being a prick.

Episode 9-

Campers have to go to the forest, stay out there overnight, then race back to the campgrounds in the morning. Yukari of the Killer Porpoises gets voted off. See, it wasn’t really Yukari’s fault, but… she got attacked by a bear and is now too injured to stay for the game, so the voting off was mandatory, even though the Killer Porpoises otherwise won. Everyone becomes more-or-less traumatized at this, and feel very hurt for Yukari.

Episode 10-

Campers have to face their worst fear, specific to each camper.

It seems many of the campers had been traumatized by the bear incident…

Koto’s worst fear is the perfume department from Spongebob, because that scene scarred her as a little kid. So the host of the game show, Kiyoteru, magically opens a door to the perfume department at a real department store and Koto has to walk through it. Koto only makes it 5 steps in before she runs out, screaming. She does not pass her fear test!

Yuuma is scared of the Crab Rave because there are too many crabs. So he is taken to a part of the island overrun by crabs, and Kiyoteru turns on the Crab Rave song and they all start dancing. Yuuma dives into the water screaming. But the crabs chase him. He doesn’t pass his fear test.

Taya attempts to outwit Kiyoteru and pretends he is afraid of strawberry shortcake, which is actually his favorite food. But everyone remembers how scared he was in the first challenge at the cliff. So Taya’s specific challenge is to jump off the cliff this time…

Yuuma gets voted off because he was scared of crabs.

Episode 11- Row a canoe to Boney Island, portage across the island, start a bonfire, and canoe back to camp. Wil gets voted off.

Episode 12- Hunt the other team dressed as deers with paintball guns, or if one is a deer, avoid being hit by them. Piko gets voted off.

Episode 13- Create a three-course meal for Kiyoteru to judge. Three chefs are chosen from each team. Miku gets voted off because her recipes went overboard with sugar, spice, and “everything nice.” (And also a tiny plastic Barbie shoe, for some reason.)

Episode 14- Participate in a set of three-out-of-five trust exercises. Shian gets voted off because she is a tsundere and has trouble trusting people.

Episode 15- Make it through Big Al’s life-threatening and disgusting boot-camp challenges. IA gets voted off.

Episode 16- Participate in three extreme sport challenges. The challenges are "sofa skydiving", riding a moose while avoiding being tossed off it, and water-skiing on mud. Lapis gets voted off.

Episode 17- Eat a nine course meal of disgusting food made by Big Al. Drink shot glasses of blended cockroaches. Yuu gets voted off.

Get through several rounds of torture, lasting at least ten seconds in each one. Eleanor gets voted off because she can’t take torture.

Episode 50-

Receive a clue to find a key hidden somewhere in the island to open a treasure chest containing a prize. Ritsu found a dud chest and his prize was… getting voted off.

Episode 51-

Avoid getting sprayed by Big Al’s water gun in a game of hide and seek. Parsec gets voted off. Good riddance!

Episode 52-

Build a bike from scratch, and then race it.

Who rides who’s bike?

Anyway, Dandy gets voted off. Probably because he’s 7 foot 4 and huge. He probably broke all the bikes.

Episode 53-

Watch a horror movie and then avoid being captured by a "deranged killer". Gumi gets voted off because she was scared.

Episode 54-

Catch the specific animal assigned by Kiyoteru and bring it back to the campground unharmed.

Taya had to bring back a raccoon. He came back first.

Koto had to bring back a bear. She came back second. What a total beast! And I’m talking about KOTO!

Genbu had to bring back an eagle. He came back third.

Leeds had to bring back a frog. She came back fourth.

Kaito had to being back a squirrel. He came back fifth.

Haku had to bring back a moose. She came back sixth.

Tei gets sent off because she couldn’t bring back a mere chipmunk. The little chipmunk was trained in king-fu and ended up beating her up! Hooray!

Episode 55-

Compete in the following while handcuffed to one of the other campers: eat disgusting food with your hands behind your back while the person handcuffed to you feeds you, return a fragment of Teto’s cursed tiki idol (it is literally shaped like an “idol” figurine) to Boney Island, and assemble a totem pole with the wooden heads of the voted out campers in the order that they are eliminated. Taya gets voted off.

Episode 56-

Campers have to find Kiyoteru and Big Al after being washed away by a storm. Leeds gets voted off because her condition came to its worst. Her weak heart had finally failed on her and she suffered a heart attack. She was doing so good in the game despite her shortcomings, and will serve as an inspiration for many. Leeds will not die. She is in good hands. She will get top medical care.

Now, a twist is revealed to the audience.

Everyone who was voted off actually went to go to a beautiful island resort. The remaining campers still don’t know about this.

When Leeds finally gets consciousness back, she finds she is in a hospital bed… in paradise. At first, she thinks she is dead. The room then fills up with everyone else voted off, and she begins crying because she thinks she is in heaven.

“They really killed you?” Leeds cries, thinking everyone else is dead.

“No, Leeds!” Yukari says. “You’re alive! You made it… to Paradise Island!”

Episode 67-

An episode dedicated to the Island of Losers, which is actually a five-star island resort paradise. Yukari has fully recovered from her injuries.

Gakupo and all the others who were eliminated early finally get their time to shine! The losers will also be involved in the episodes to come, as they will be the audience.

Episode 58-

The campers have to find their way back to camp after being left in the wild with limited supplies. Unexpectedly, our total beast, Koto Fuuga, comes back last. Rumors have it, this is because she found a bird sanctuary and got totally distracted…

Episode 59-

Survive a series of dares, given by the eliminated campers until someone drops out. Haku is forced to do something horrible by Tei. Tei dares Haku to joke around and portray offensive stereotypes. On national TV. She just can’t do it… She drops out, but not before insulting Tei to her face for having an offensive sense of humor. But Kaito says Haku made the right choice. She sacrificed her chance to win a million dollars so that Tei didn’t have to force her to make a choice that could hurt people when they see it on TV. Kaito thinks Haku deserves an amazing consolation prize. Genbu respects Haku for this as well.

Episode 60-

Another episode dedicated to the Losers on Paradise Island. A bit of a breather before the final challenge.

Episode 61-

The two remaining campers have to climb a pole and retrieve a flag, walk across a board on top of shark-infested waters while carrying an eagle's egg, and run a race to cross the finish line. Everyone on Paradise Island has someone they are rooting for. Kaito is about to give up… but… There is ice cream at the finish line! Meiko sent it there because she knows ice cream is Kaito’s favorite food, and it would motivate him at the last moment! Kaito makes a mad dash to the finish line and wins Total Drama Island!!

Episode 62-

Kaito won! But there is a twist. In order to actually win the million dollars, he has to find the a case containing the $1,000,000 and bring it to the Dock of Shame before anyone else does! Now everyone has a chance again! This is a race between him and all the other campers! If any of the other campers being it to the Dock of Shame before Kaito, there will be a whole second season of Total Drama Island, and Kaito will have to win all over again before he gets his million dollars…

DETAILS-

Episode 3-

New prose-

The advertisement and hype also found itself to the internet, where it found the attention of 15-year-old Uta Utane, hardcore girl gamer, amateur computer-music producer, and internet addict. She knew Japanese fluently and interacted with overseas game and music communities all the time. Internet circles affectionately nicknamed her “Defoko,” meaning “default girl,” due to her faithful devotion to mastering playing strategies with the default characters and skins in five of her favorite video games. Uta was in her natural habitat on the web. But offline, she was as shy and awkward as a wilting flower.

The reason Uta signed up for Total Drama Island was because she lost a bet with her pesky siblings—two older brothers and one younger sister. They were quite lively, unlike her. However… Uta found a bright side to the whole situation… Think of all the video games, software, and music tech one could buy with a million dollars!

It wasn’t long enough before Uta overheard her classmate Teto Kasane, talking to Momo Momone about a cool new game show she herself signed up for. Teto and Momo were best friends, but many people mistook them for a doting dating couple all the time. They were so affectionate always, even kissing each other on the cheek at times.

“Momo, have you heard of Total Drama Island?” Teto asked.

Uta couldn’t help but eavesdrop from her desk. And Uta was very, very good at eavesdropping in plain sight. She was so quiet. People always thought she just wasn’t listening…

“OMG!” Momo replied. “Teto, I’M going on Total Drama Island!” Momo said. “My brother Momotaro told me I needed to do more things in life. So he signed me up. I was angry at first, until I saw what the prize was for winning—“

“NO WAY!” Teto’s yell suddenly interrupted. “Momo! I’m going on Total Drama Island too!”

“OH MY GOSH!”

The two girls hugged.

“EEEEE!” They both squealed in bliss.

Uta, interest piqued, was now awkwardly walking up to the scene. She wanted to perhaps talk to Momo and Teto… but definitely didn’t know what to day.

“I… um, wouldn’t get too happy.” She tripped on the words quietly, stammering somewhat. “In Total Drama Island, you two might have to be pit against each other…”

“Aaaaand now here’s Defoko, here to dampen our spirits again.” Teto said.

“…My name is Uta.” The quiet girl said. Once again, she came off as harsh…

Indeed, the nickname Defoko had even spread to her classmates at school. They all thought it was a fitting name for her, given how much of a plain, blunt, “default” girl she was.

“Well then, Uta. Why do you have to be so mean to us?” Momo asked.

“I’m not being mean.” Uta answered, with more conviction this time. “I’m just… being real. I’m looking forward to winning Total Drama Island as well, and even brushed up on insider knowledge from obscure web sources. Perhaps you two shouldn’t get your hopes up too high…”

Momo and Teto looked at each other for a few seconds.

“Wait.” Teto suddenly said. “You’re going on Total Drama Island too, Defoko?”

Uta nodded.

“…I see.” Momo said.

“Hm. No offense…” Teto said. “But you’ll be lost without any teamwork. And you don’t really have any friends… do you?”

“There can only be one winner of Total Drama Island.” Uta said nonchalantly. “And I work alone.”

Uta dramatically flipped her hair and tucked part of it behind her ear. Then as mysteriously and nonchalantly as ever, she walked away… into the deep, hazy distance… of the algebra classroom at 7:00 AM.

“She has such a cold attitude...” Momo commented.

But deep down inside, Uta didn’t mean to come off as so snide.

———

Rumors had it, there were even flyers, strategically hung up in random places where young people tended to hang out. Some of the contestants who were on the show could even tell you they found out about the show in this way. Namely Yuuma, who found out at his mall’s bowling alley. Yuuma was a popular guy in his school who hung out with his friends often. The day he saw the flyer, he joked with his friends Shuu and Souta that it sounded like a dumb scam. However, the advertisement wouldn’t leave his mind… and down the rabbit hole he went, until he found the guts to enter the contest.

“Quick way to perhaps make a million.” He thought. “Maybe make some friends. Play friendly competition games.”

Nothing would’ve prepared Yuuma for what would be in store for him.

Ads were even printed in teen magazines. In the latest issue of the gaudy LUXE VIBE magazine, geared towards teenage girls and young female adults who either dreamed of, or had the bucks to buy the showcased expensive clothes and cosmetics. Eleanor Forte, who lived a life of luxury, came across the ad, and her first thought was…

“Barbaric!” She said out loud, while lounging on her expensive chair by the outside jacuzzi by her expensive private pool with massage jets (and poolside maid service.) “The absolutely senseless things that those common plebs would do for money…”

“Oh, Ellie, dear!” Eleanor heard her mother call her.

“WHAT.” She answered.

“I signed you up for Total Drama Island, dear. Wouldn’t you love to have a chance to come out of your shell, meet some people your age and play some wholesome games without being on that phone all day?”

“…WHAAAAAT!?”

Eleanor yowled so loud that she scared her purebred cat who was taking a nap indoors.

And from the popular and rich, to the unpopular, modest folk…

MOTIVES-

(Luka is Miku’s friend and signs up because of Miku)

AUDITION VIDEOS-

(Luka is singing in her audition video. She is very good. And then she starts doing push-ups to show that she’s more than just a singer—she is tough! However, she can only do 10 before she becomes visibly tired, and then the video cuts off conveniently.)

(Bruno and Clara do really wholesome fluffy couple stuff

(Aku’s is spooky and she summoned a demon and the demon is Zatsune. Nobody knows how Zatsune got there

(Lily is a punk rock beekeeper

(Amy just overshares

(Kaori has a compilation of her dramatically fainting in different places to dramatic music

(Ken is doing terrible stand up comedy)

(Chris does Fortnite dances while dressed as Sans Undertale)

(Iroha makes a video of herself turning into her cat… with terrible special effects

(SeeU does bad puns… for an hour

(Teto’s is like asdfmovie

(Uta sends in a video of what she can do in video games and music. Kiyoteru thinks she’s talented and unexpectedly confident… But TDI isn’t a video game now is it? Does she have the technique to deal with physical games and drama?)

(Momo and Teto are the best of friends. They also reference Defoko in their video. A quick online search shows that… Defoko is Uta!)

(Dell is just so “whatever.” in his video. He simply talks about how much everything ticks him off, all while smoking a cigarette. Then he gets bored and tries smoking a pear. It doesn’t turn out well. His smoking habit and aloof personality catches Kiyoteru’s attention.)

(Gakupo is dancing to hardcore music and attempting to do parkour. He falls on his face.)

(Koto’s audition video is her reciting bird species and traits from memory. She’s like an encyclopedia. And then she does some badass feral unhinged bird calls. Perfectly, I may add.)

(Eleanor flaunts her richness and privilege…)

(Ruko and Ritsu are rocking out to niki songs and Ritsu is singing them very loudly (and nails it.) Ritsu then says he is a boy (which is true) and that his boobs are missiles and he weighs 10 tons and he is actually 6 years old because he was created in a lab in North Korea (which is not true.) An exhausted Ruko says “that’s enough” and turns the camera off.)

(Gumi is painting a beautiful painting of a tiger and all of a sudden, the painting comes to life… because she has boss editing skills. She also does some gymnastics with the painting. Because Gumi is a boss. But she is unexpectedly very shy.)

(Meiko is just showing off her muscles and being a very gay lesbian.)

(Taya is shy but he gets into playing his violin. He starts singing (he’s good) and then attempts to freestyle rap (he’s bad). He makes a really stupid rhyme with his name. “…Because I’m Taya, I’m not a papaya!” But then he randomly makes another rhyme and it’s kinda lit. “Catch me jammin’ like jambalaya.”

(Chiyu films herself shooting a target with an archery bow and arrows…

(Dandy’s audition video is extravagant and he hires special effects and an orchestra

(Parsec’s audition video has epic music and she’s destroying everything

(Zatsune’s video is stylized like an emo music video to Welcome To The Black Parade all of a sudden you hear WELCOME TO THE MIND FUCK and it turns into Bodies by Drowning Pool

(Yuuma’s audition video is just him talking about stuff. He mentions he heard Geodude noises in the bathroom and was afraid geodude was gonna float out of his toilet)

(Kaito and Akaito are having an epic fight over who’s cooler and it ends up really dumb

(Lapis and Merli pretend to be each other, in order to get on each other’s nerves

(Dex and Daina are wearing fursuits and raving

(Haiyi does artful swimming)

(Leeds talks about her horrible unfortunate life with a huge smile on her face because she’s so excited and eager to go on TDI for a new beginning. It’s heart wrenching and touching and inspirational.

(Mizki is effortlessly goth without being edgy)

(Tei’s audition video is super spooky. But then she just turns out to be a non-scary super asshole jerk

(Cider’s audition video is actually just an informercial about his products
