Beth hung her head low as she walked down the carpet of shame, but before she left someone called out to her. "I'll win this for you Beth!" Lindsay called out to her best friend. "And I'll totally take you and Tyler with me to Paris when I win!"
"Thanks bestie!" Beth couldn't help but smile at Lindsay. "I'll be cheering you on!" And with that Beth entered the lamosine to be taken away from the competition forever.
"Phew!" Jasmine let out in relief as Gwen slumped down, the Australian Amazon sending Gwen an apologetic look. "Sorry though mate,"
"It's cool, kinda figured this would happen," Gwen shrugged as she stood up, choosing to take her loss with grace. She messed up and she faced the consequences, just how it goes. But before she left, she walked up to a sighing Trent and rose his head up before kissing him on the lips. "Do your best, ok babe?"
"With you cheering me on, I won't lose," Trent reassured her.
Gwen waved her team goodbye as they sent her smiles and waves of their own. As Gwen was walking down the carpet of shame, Heather couldn't help but speak up. "So from second place to second last," Heather mocked the goth, getting a glare out of her. "Fits don't you think?"
"Maybe," Gwen shrugged before smirking and pointed to Heather's head. "But at least I'm leaving with a full head of hair~"
"Grrrrrr!" Heather growled as her teammates all laughed, getting her vicious glare.
"Welp, guess that figures," Duncan let out as he stood up. He figured Ronnie Anne would pull a fast one and look like she did. Still, there was still one thing he could do before leaving. "If I'm going out, then I'm gonna go out with a bang,"
"Oh yeah?" Ronnie Anne smirked as she stood up and looked down at Duncan. "How's that?" Duncan looked up at her grinning deviously…before reaching forward and pantsing Ronnie Anne, exposing the thin piece of pink underwear she was wearing to the entire viewing world. "AH! YOU (BLEEP)!!!"
"Ahahahaha!" Duncan laughed loudly as he jumped into the Lamosine. "Later loser!"
"No Mr. Coconut is just scared of Vampires so I left him at the trailer all day," Owen explained before getting up and waving to everyone as he walked down the carpet of shame. "Goodbye everyone! I'll miss you all!"
"Wait Owen!" Lincoln yelled to the big guy as he ran up to Owen and presented the big guy the bag of candy he brought back from the factory. "Here, take this. Something to look forward to when your jaw heals, I don't need this much anyway. Saw what happened to Bridgette after she had too much."
"Awww thanks Lincoln!" Owen grinned as he took the candy before wrapping Lincoln up in a bone crushing hug. "You're the best!"
"You're…welcome…" Lincoln wheezed out before Owen released him. "Hope you recover soon big guy,"
And with that Owen said one last goodbye before heading into the lamosine and driving off.

AFTERMATH
Instead of the usual film lot, we open inside of a fancy five star hotel with a huge lobby that had a big talk show-like stage set up inside of it consisting of a big red couch with a coffee table in front of it, and two rows of seats with one on each side of the couch, and a large TV screen set up above the couch. And of course the usual set up stuff like lights and mics set up so the camera wasn't on them.
"Why greetings everyone!" And currently sitting on the couch was everyone's favorite Counselor in Training, Courtney. She was sitting on the couch by herself and gave the camera a big smile, looking rather relaxed and content with her situation at the moment. "And I am pleased to welcome you all to the brand new Total Drama Action Aftermath show!"
A cheering sound track is played before Courtney continued on with announcing the show she had going on right now. "We're coming to you live to dish everyone in Total Drama Action with all of you at home," Courtney explained before she began hyping things up more. "I'm your host Courtney who you may remember from the show's first season Total Drama Island as a proud member of the Killer Bass. And I'm here to provide you some never before seen footage and some words from some previously eliminated contestants from the thrilling sequel of Total Drama Action! But it's not just me here, may I present to you everyone who also didn't qualify for the second season! To my right it's the peanut gallery!"
Courtney then gestured to the seats set up to the couch's right were the six other teenagers who didn't get to compete in Total Drama Action. "We got Cody!" Courtney began listing off the various members of the peanut gallery.
"Hey everyone, what's up?" Cody made a peace gesture as he smiled at the camera. "Psyched to be here!"
"Noah!" Courtney pointed to the boy next to Cody.
"Hey," Was all Noah gave as a greeting.
"Eva!" Courtney gestured to the girl with a scowl on her face.
"Mmmm," Eva grunted.
"Ezekiel," Courtney was rather dry sounding as she announced the home school boy.
"What's up dawgs!" Ezekiel greeted, apparently keeping the little rapper-esc persona he adopted last season. "How's my fans doing out there eh?"
"I'll let you know once we find anything…" Courtney whispered before smiling again and gesturing to the last two people in the gallery. "And last but certainly not least we have best friends Katie and Sadie!"
"Hi everyone!" Katie greeted as both her and Sadie waved to the camera with eager grins on their faces. "It's so cool to be here with you!"
"So glad we're still able to come out with everyone for the season!" Sadie gushed as she brought Katie into a hug, a light dust of pink forming on Katie's cheeks. "Even if we can't compete it's still a blast to be here!"
"I'd have to agree with you there Sadie," Courtney said as she pointed to the plus sized girl. Sure Courtney would have definitely liked competing and trying to get a chance to win a million dollars, but she couldn't deny she was finding ways to enjoy herself here. Not to mention she was all too eager to accept the hosting job for the Aftermath show, perks of being the most popular contestant of the non-returning players. "We're coming to you from Hotel Des Losers, a five star hotel where us not playing or those eliminated can come to relax and have fun just like with Playa Des Losers resort last season! We may not get to compete but staying at this place for 42 days all for free? Heh, you won't hear me complaining,"
"Speak for yourself…" Eva growled out a bit. She certainly wasn't taking not being able to compete as well as the others.
"Oh come on Eva it's not so bad," Courtney tried to tell the athletic rage machine. "Sure we can't play the game but this hotel has so much fun stuff do in it,"
"Oh tell me about it!" Katie bounced in her seat excitedly. "The spa they have here is to die for!"
"They have a spa?" Sadie blinked a few times in surprise before narrowing her eyes at Katie. "And you checked it without me?"
"I was…curious…hehe…" Katie let out sheepishly. "I'll take you after the show today ok? Promise."
"You better," Sadie waggled her finger a bit.
"Eh well I'm not being humiliated for the entertainment of others so I guess I can't complain," Noah shrugged before cracking a small smile. "Plus I have been enjoying the game room they have admittedly, me and Cody are currently working on completing Baldur's Gate 3 together,"
"Oh that reminds me I got a list of some of the sidequests we can do now," Cody brought up as he held up a phone. "I'll link the list to ya later,"
"Kinda surprised you're taking this so well eh," Ezekiel spoke up to Courtney. "Considering you can't play and your boyfriend lost already,"
"Eh, don't get me wrong, all that does sting a little." Courtney fully admitted, she definitely wished she could have qualified for the season and definitely was a bit upset Duncan went from winning to being the third kicked out, but she wasn't gonna let it get to her. "But hey on the bright side me and him will be able to enjoy the hotel together. Plus I have been working on my anger management on the side."
"Got any tips for Eva?" Katie asked in a joking tone.
"Grrrr…" Eva let out, clearly not appreciating the joke.
"Just asking, hehe…" Katie chuckled sheepishly and decided it was wise to not say any more.
"Ok, ok, enough of that," Courtney spoke up to get all eyes on her before she looked towards the camera. "We got a lot of fun stuff for all you watching today. As promised we have some never before seen clips, interviews with the four eliminated contestants so far with you at home being able to ask your questions and if you're lucky enough yours may just be asked, as well as some fun montages that should get a good laugh out of all watching. But before that let's get a recap over what's happened during the season so far."
Courtney then gestured to the TV as it began playing scenes with the Total Drama Island Race for the Case special. "I'm sure everyone knows the story at this point. Duncan came out on top out of 24 contestants and won the grand prize of $100,000 dollars and when everyone was about to head home Chris surprised Duncan and everyone else with the chance to win a monstrous $1,000,000!" Courtney recapped the events of the special as the TV showed all the campers getting their hands on the case before losing it. "But through various hijinks the money was eaten by a shark leading to a 17 way tie…"
"I could've gotten the money back…" Eva grunted out as she crossed her arms.
"So the likes of Duncan, Gwen, Heather, Lincoln, Owen, Dawn, Leshawna, DJ, Izzy, Lindsay, Bridgette, Geoff, Harold, Trent, Beth, Justin, and Tyler were all given a week to spend time home before reporting to an abandoned film lot to compete in Total Drama Action." Courtney explained as the screen changed to show various locations on the film lot. "Definitely a different change of pace but just as cruddy as the Island. But they weren't the only ones doing this season, to spice things up Chris brought along three whole new competitors!"
The screen changed again and began playing scenes of everyone's favorite Australian Amazon. "First on the scene was Jasmine, one of the top picks to bring along for season one and she definitely would have been a force to be reckoned with!" Courtney explained as some of the clips showed Jasmine's supreme athletic abilities including running while carrying DJ, bending a metal pipe like it was nothing, and fighting hand to hand with Chef. "And she's proving to be just that in the season, being the strongest member of the Screaming Gaffers and their go to for physical challenges! Would the Peanut Gallery care to give their thoughts on her?"
"Tall buff Australian Amazon~" Katie let out while blushing, her eyes having a bit of a fire burning in them. But then Katie soon realized she said that out loud and her blush brightened with embarrassment as everyone gave her strange looks. "Uuuuuuh…s-she is tough, hehehe. I-I mean look at what she's done so far!"
"Hmmm, can't argue with that," Eva shrugged in agreement, not dawdling on what Katie initially said as she gave her two cents on the newcomer. "So far Izzy's the only other one that was able to battle Chef and even then she never really made him flinch. Would definitely like to meet her and see which of us is stronger."
"I'd like to hear what homeschool here has to say about her," Noah brought up with an amused smirk, getting a flinch out of Ezekiel. "So, think girls still can't be as strong as a guy?"
"U-Um, wait hold on!" Ezekiel then dug around his pockets a bit and fished out a queue card of some kind and quickly began reading through it. "I would like to state to everyone that my opinions on women I said last season we're not my own. They were what my parents taught me and I deeply regret what I said and realized it was wrong." Once Ezekiel finished he looked towards Katie and Sadie and whispered to them. "Was that good eh?"
"Perfect!" Sadie gave him a thumbs up with Katie nodding her head. Sadie then gave her opinion on the Australian Amazon. "And Jasmine seems really nice! A bit intimidating but nice! Also I think DJ might have a thing for her~ Call it a hunch now but I swear I'm seeing sparks between the two of them!"
"I think you're right there Sadie, DJ started looking at her the same way." Cody brought up, agreeing with Sadie about DJ potentially liking Jasmine. "Too bad I'm not there, could help be his wingman,"
"Yeah not sure if that's a good thing…" Courtney deadpanned before the screen changed to show clips of the second newcomer to the cast, and all the other personalities he brought along with him. "And next up for newcomers we have Mike! He seemed to be just your average teenager at first with nothing about him standing out. But that soon proved false as he began acting quite differently at certain times. He told everyone he was simply a method actor at first but we soon got to learn the truth for ourselves!" Courtney then gestured to the screen as it played one of Mike's confessionals.
CONFESSIONAL – Mike
"Look about my…'acting' I gotta come clean…" Mike sighed out as he looked at the confessional camera. At least this was easier than telling anyone else face to face. "I…I have Dissociative Identity Disorder! I try to control it but when it triggers and one of my personalities comes out I can't stop it! I mean don't get me wrong they aren't bad and they can certainly help at times but other times…not so much…"
"Mike marks the first Total Drama player to have a confirmed mental disorder, and I said confirmed and we don't know what the heck is up with Izzy yet, and it's quite fascinating to see it in action," Courtney spoke towards the camera again. "So far we've seen cranky old man Chester, the suave Jersey boy Vito, the mysterious and tough Mal who Duncan seems to have a history with, and the Russian Gymnast Svetlana! According to Mike he's got five alternate personalities so it seems once is still a mystery to us, peanut gallery please give us your opinions on Mike."
"Well I've read about DID before so like you said Courtney seeing it for ourselves is rather fascinating," Noah spoke up first, being the book worm he was he has read about Mike's condition in the past. But actually seeing it happening for himself was definitely something else entirely. "I think I've narrowed down the triggers too. Chester comes in when Mike's frustrated, Vito comes in whenever his shirt is at least mostly removed, Mal comes in when Mike is in danger, and Svetlana comes in when he's faced with some sort of physical or acrobatic challenge. And for that last one it must be triggered by wearing a hat based on what he said in the film set challenge."
"Oh wow, that's really cool you figured that all out Noah," Katie complimented Noah with the brainiac looking rather proud of himself. "At first I thought Mike was weird but when me and Sadie found out about his condition we really felt for him. Me and Sadie have a classmate with a mental disorder,"
"Uh-huh, it's true." Sadie nodded her head confirming this. "She has dyslexia so school can be really tough on her sometimes. We and a few of our other classmates try to help her out when she needs it."
"It's cool how some of his personalities can affect his physical performance." Eva spoke up, not really too hung up on the whole mental disorder thing but she was curious about how some of Mike's personalities seem more physically capable than Mike himself. "Mal seems stronger than him and Svetlana was able to dominate all the obstacle courses that appeared."
"Can't say I have too much of an opinion eh," Ezekiel simply shrugged, not having a lot to say on Mike. "Never really learned about any weird brain diseases and stuff,"
"It's a mental disorder Zeke, we really need to get you into a real school…" Cody slowly said with Noah nodding in agreement. "But all I can say it's pretty cool how Trent kind of took Mike under his wing, he's a really cool guy,"
"I agree, it was sweet how Trent didn't judge him at all for his disorder and even started helping him out." Courtney nodded in agreement before deciding to move on to the last newbie. "And last and…certainly least we have Ronnie Anne,"
The mood turned a little sour as the Hispanic teenager was brought up and the screen began playing various clips of her. "Chris brought Ronnie Anne along for one reason and one reason alone, cause drama for Lincoln and Dawn." Courtney explained as the screen showed Ronnie Anne's earlier moments with her confronting Lincoln and Dawn. "Through some dirty tactics she managed to earn herself the position as team leader of the Killer Grips though not before Lincoln told her off for being a completely Toxic Ex and saying she wasn't gonna push him around all season! Hehe, never get tired of watching that scene. Now then, could I get the peanut gallery's opinion on her?"
Everyone in the peanut gallery was silent for a bit as they tried to form their opinions on the third newcomer, though none of them were especially good. "I think Duncan said it best himself during the horror movie challenge," Noah was again the first to speak up as he quoted Courtney's boyfriend. "She needs to get over it."
"Seriously, and it's her fault for leaving in the first place," Katie and just about everyone agreed with Noah as she put her hands to her hips. "They made a pact and she broke it, she has no right being upset and angry for Lincoln for the break up,"
"Totally, if you're the one who dumped the person you got no right acting like such a psycho and a jerk," Sadie added onto her best friend's words. "But I'm glad Lincoln was able to move on from her, if that's how she acted during their relationship I'm surprised he didn't dump her sooner."
"She definitely takes her anger too far, and that's coming from me," Eva spoke up. She was fully aware of her rage issues but she could say Ronnie Anne took it too far, like, who gets upset over winning a reward? "It's just pure pettiness."
"At first I thought she was kind of hot and well…ok I still think she's kind of hot," Cody admitted sheepishly, getting many deadpanned looks from him. "But she's pretty mean and nasty, wonder if all Hispanic girls are this temperamental."
"…" Everyone was silent as Cody was given a lot of strange looks with Ezekiel of all people being the one to speak up. "I think that's kinda racist eh,"
"…Hehe," Cody then began sheepishly chuckling before looking at Courtney. "You can edit this out right?"
"I literally said we were live Cody," Courtney told him blankly with Cody sinking down in his seat a bit. "Ok moving on from…all...that. I have to agree with all of you. She's only here to try and get undeserved payback at Lincoln and is going off of nothing but pettiness and spite. It's pathetic." Courtney then blinked a few times as she swore she felt a sudden bit of whiplash. "Huh...why does that feel so ironic coming from me. Well in any case despite this she certainly knows how to play the game at least as she's formed the second alliance of the season consisting of herself, Heather, and Justin forming what I like to call the Trinity of Evil!"
The screen then changed to show Ronnie Anne first forming her alliance with Heather and Justin.
"Let's just cut all the crap, I know you two don't like me and the feelings mutual." Ronnie Anne cut right to the chase. "But there's one thing we three have in common. We all hate Lincoln."
"All too true, first he ruins my complexion with paint, and then he knocks me out!" Justin nodded as he listed the terrible wrongs Lincoln committed on him. Justin was still planning on making Lincoln pay for that. "So where are you going with this exactly?"
"Where do you think?" Ronnie Anne rolled her eyes. Guess he was just all looks and no brains. "I say we all work together."
"Like, an alliance?" Heather said, her brow raised in slight interest.
"We work together to bring Lame-O down!" Ronnie Anne stated as she slammed a fist into an open palm. "The three of us together would be unstoppable!"
"Hmmmm…" Justin hummed in thought before smirking at the Hispanic teen. "I think I can agree to that~"
"I know I shouldn't trust you…buuuuuut I like how you think." Heather smirked, actually thinking Ronnie Anne was onto something. Plus she was definitely in the market for an alliance and she had to take what she could get. "I'm in."
"Forming an alliance of people that hate Lincoln just as much as her, it's proving to be rather successful ," Courtney stated as she picked up an electric pen as a picture of the ten members of the Killer Grips appeared on screen with Courtney drawing on a tablet on the coffee table and putting an X over the faces of Beth, Duncan, and Owen. "They've successfully orchestrated the elimination of all Killer Grips so far and tossing members they deem to be worthless or a problem."
"Can't deny she knows how to play the game," Noah had to admit as he gave his two cents. "Especially considering she's getting help from Heather and Justin, without them she probably would have gotten the boot already. She somehow has worse social skills than Heather herself."
"Pfft, ain't that the truth. But they aren't the only alliance, I'm sure the first alliance came as a shock to everyone." The screen then changed to show a familiar scene between DJ and Chef. "Chef pulled aside DJ and forced him into an alliance. Chef promised to help toughen DJ up and help him in the game in exchange for splitting the million with him if DJ wins."
"Here's the deal." Chef began as he started marching back and forth in front of DJ. "I'll help you man up and win this thing. You don't ask any stupid questions and you split the prize with me. It's like they say, it's an offer you can't refuse. I won't let you…"
All DJ could do in response was gulp fearfully.
"Despite this alliance breaking…all sorts of rules," Courtney brought up with a laugh track being played after she spoke and earning an eye roll from the CIT. "It seems to be working as DJ has been performing rather well in the challenges, and he also seemed to be performing well in the kitchen!"
The screen then changed to show DJ helping Chef out in the kitchen, making the normally disgusting food actually edible.
"With DJ working in the kitchen the others have actually started looking forward to eating Chef's food, minus when DJ leaves with his team to enjoy a reward." Courtney said as the screen first showed clips of the campers from season one barely able to stand Chef's food, to the contestants in season 2 actually enjoying the food unknowingly thanks to DJ. "He must be a wizard in the culinary arts to improve Chef's disgusting slop."
"Kinda makes me wanna try it," Sadie spoke up as she licked her lips a bit. "I love the food at the hotel but can't help but wonder what DJ's cooking is like!"
"Well hopefully we can find out for ourselves one day as well and see just how far Chef and DJ's alliance will go." Courtney then held her hand to her ear as someone spoke to her through an earpiece. The CIT nodded as she looked at the camera again. "But now it's time for what you all waited for! A chance to see the kicked off contestants and see how they are doing after getting the boot from the show! First we have Beth!"
The screen then began showing various clips of Beth across both Island and Action. "Beth was the first contestant ever introduced on Total Drama and would soon end up being in an alliance with the devil of Total Drama, Heather." Courtney began explaining as a picture of Heather forming her alliance with Beth and Lindsay popped up with Courtney drawing devil features on her face getting a laugh from her and the peanut gallery. "After getting kicked off last season for cursing her team, Beth was ready to take the second season by storm only to be the first out of the season. Our first guest has set a bush on fire, has a liking for Tikki statues, and now rocks a set of pearly white teeth! It's Beth!"
A fanfare was played out as Beth walked up to the set with a big smile on her face, flashing her perfect white teeth. As she smiled one of the lights set up above ended up shining down on her teeth that ended up creating a blare that blinded someone in the hotel room. "Ah! My eyes!" A voice yelled out off camera followed by a crashing sound.
"Oops, sorry!" Beth apologized as she sat down in the seats set up to the left of the couch Courtney was on. "I still don't know the power of my own teeth, hehe."
"It's a shame we couldn't get to see more of it," Courtney said sympathetically to Beth as the CIT turned to face Beth to properly interview her. "Sorry you were eliminated first and all,"
"Yeah…it's to be expected…" Beth sighed out sadly, the label of being the first one to be kicked off still stinging for her quite a bit. "Especially since I was on a team with two Heathers."
"At least you're not the only one." Courtney reassured Beth as she stretched her arm around to grab Beth's shoulder in support. "The Trinity of Evil has already claimed a few victims."
"Hehe, that's a good name for them," Beth laughed a bit at Courtney's name for Ronnie Anne and her alliance. "Fits them to a T,"
"Oh why thank you," Courtney smiled at Beth, feeling a bit flattered at the girl's compliment. "Now then we're gonna play a little game I like to call truth or shock bracelet!"
"Truth or shock bracelet?" Beth blinked a few times in response. "What's that?"
"Simple, I'm gonna ask you a few questions, some from the viewers watching right now, and you're gonna wear a special bracelet," Courtney explained to Beth who flinched a little bit. "Don't worry, all it does is give you a little nip when you lie. Make sure we get the truth out of you. I tested it myself it's totally harmless,"
"Oh, ok then," Beth relaxed after hearing that and held her arm out. "Put it on me,"
"Let me just get it down…here…huh?" Courtney ducked under the coffee table and began rummaging through the stuff that was there. She put the shock bracelet there earlier but now it was gone. "Weird…swore I put it down here…where is it…" Courtney then looked up and glared at the Peanut Gallery a bit. "Did one of you take it?"
"Don't look at me," Eva stated with everyone merely shrugging.
Before Courtney could speak up further she heard talking through her ear piece again. "Yeah? Uh-huh?" Courtney responded dryly before her eyes widened in alarm. "Truth or Hammer?!"
"What!?" Beth shouted before she, Courtney, and the Peanut Gallery looked up to see a giant wooden hammer set up above Beth.
"What's a hammer doing up there?!" Courtney yelled to the person on the other end of the ear piece she had. "That isn't what we agreed on!"
"Y-You mean t-t-that h-hammer is gonna c-come down and h-hit me?!" Beth asked, noticeably more freaked out about the hammer than the bracelet Courtney spoke of.
"O-Only if you lie Beth, only if you lie," Courtney, while making notes to mouth off to the producers later, assured Beth that she would be ok as long as she didn't lie. "Just tell the truth ok?"
"Y-Yeah sure," Beth tried to steal her nerves and nodded her head. "I-I'm an honest person! Ask away Courtney!"
"Ok so a couple basic questions before we check the viewer box and see what the audience has to ask you," Courtney began as she tried to relax while keeping an eye on the hammer. Should it come down she'd try to save Beth. "First off kinda going over this again, what did it really feel like to be the first one to be kicked off the set?"
"Well, it sucked that's what! I don't know any other way to describe it," Beth began a more in depth explanation as she talked about what it felt like to be kicked off the show first. "I was so excited for the second season! I was away from Heather, I had Lindsay as my BFF, and I was finally getting my bracelets off during the off season! I was so ready to dominate! But then I ended up getting on a team with Heather again, and not just Heather but Ronnie Anne too! Who's just another version of Heather but angrier and somehow pettier!"
"And again I'm so sorry that happened to you Beth," Courtney said as she and everyone gave her apologetic looks. Could only imagine how much it would suck to get hyped up that much only to crash and burn immediately. "But hey look on the bright side, Heather faced her karma at the end of season one so hopefully karma will strike Ronnie Anne as well."
"Hehe, that would be nice to see," Beth grinned and laughed at the thought of that. "Would be funny to see if she got shaved bald too,"
"Just have to wait and see," Courtney and Beth shared a snicker before Courtney asked the next question. "Now next question, what are your thoughts of the three new contestants? Kind of already gave your thoughts on Ronnie Anne so let's just hear about Mike and Jasmine."
"Hmmmm, well I can't say I have too much to say about them in all honesty," Beth shrugged as she gave her honest answer, telling nothing but the truth so the hammer wouldn't swing down on her. "I wasn't on the show for too long and we got put on separate teams so I didn't interact with them much. I did watch the episodes though when I got to the hotel so I do think Jasmine is nice if a little scary at times, and Mike seems like a sweet guy and I feel bad that he was treated differently due to his condition."
"Well hey good answers Beth," Courtney nodded in approval before looking to the tablet she had again. "Now then let's see what kind of questions the viewers submitted, first we got a question from DrumsofLiberation, they ask 'Beth, you knowing about your own abilities and capabilities, do you think that you could have helped your team in any major challenge if you hadn't been eliminated?"
"Well I certainly like to think so," Beth stated with a smile as she held a hand up to her chin. "Sure I may not be the most athletic person in the world but I have a lot I'm good at! Like I feel like I would have done pretty well during the sand castle contest, I'm pretty good at arts and crafts! Oh and the fantasy challenge! I have a group of friends I play DnD with back home, maybe I could have contributed then!"
"Well again I wish we could have seen more of you on the show," Courtney nodded at Beth, breathing a sigh of relief that the hammer didn't fall on her, before going to the next question. "Now Fantastic98765 ask, I saw the reason you were voted off was because your team thinks you're still bad luck, is the curse you brought back from Boney Island still effecting you long term, if so do you wonder why?"
"To be fair I think it's pretty obvious why," Sadie spoke up after remembering what she saw from season one. "You did kind of flush the statue down the toilet instead of returning it to Boney Island."
"Hey can you blame me? I didn't wanna go back to that place by myself," Beth shivered a bit at the memories of Boney Island, and the creatures that it contained. "But as for it following me home well…I'll admit I have been a bit more clumsy back home,"
"Any examples you wanna share?" Courtney probed a bit.
"Well, when I came home my parents and friends threw a welcome back party for me, and there was a big buffet and food and drinks including punch…" Beth sighed and blushed a bit in embarrassment as she told the story. "I got a cup of punch and there was this bee that wouldn't leave me alone. I tried swatting it and well…I hit the bowl of punch causing it all to splash on my dad and blinding him and making him crash into the table of food which went flying and covered everyone in the party…"
"Wow, talk about all you can eat," Cody said with an amused smirk that was shared by everyone.
"We all laughed it off thankfully," Beth stated with a sheepish smile. "But it was a pretty big blunder, even by my standards."
"Might need to see if you can get some sage to burn for yourself," Courtney said with a giggle before going to the next question. "Popcultureguy101 ask, 'why did you lie about your fear of being covered in bugs?"
"Oh that's easy," Beth giggled a bit at this memory of the first season. "We were on a reality show with a host that likes to mess with us and we were all confessing our fears, it was pretty easy to put two and two together to get a phobia based challenge, so I lied about my fear and just gave something that sounded like a fear that I didn't really mind."
"You don't mind being covered by bugs?" Courtney asked with a weirded out look. "Why…exactly?"
"I love bugs! I get why people find them creepy but I find them fascinating," Beth explained her love of the creepy crawlies. "Like bugs are some of the strongest and fastest animals ever but we just don't realize it due to their small size. Like in comparison a common ant can lift more than even the strongest bodybuilder on the planet."
"Hm, I guess that's true. Bugs are rather fascinating creatures." Courtney rubbed her chin a bit and nodded at the answer, being able to understand what Beth was talking about. "I suppose I can see why some people would like them. Very clever trick you pulled then Beth."
"Thanks, I am rather proud of getting one over Chris back then," Beth couldn't help but smirk a bit in pride. Not everyday someone tricks Chris. "As for my real fear, heh, you'll never get it out of me,"
"Never say never Beth, and one last question to round things off," Courtney asked one last time after setting the tablet down. "Who do you think deserves to win the million dollars?"
"Oh that's an easy one!" Beth smiled as she instantly knew her answer. "Lindsay! She's my BFF after all, I'm really hoping she's able to handle Ronnie Anne, Heather, and Justin. I know it won't be easy but I promised to root for her and I still am!"
"Aw, that's really sweet of you Beth. I'm sure Linsday would really appreciate that she has you in her corner," Courtney told Beth, causing a small blush to come to the glasses wearing girl's face. Just then Courtney's tablet began vibrating causing her to look at it and see they were getting a call. "Oh! And we have a viewer call in! Looks like it's from someone named… Brady."
Immediately Beth gasped as she broke out into a huge grin. "That's my boyfriend!" Beth squealed out excitedly.
"Your boyfriend?" Courtney was taken back a bit in surprise.
"Your boyfriend?!" The Peanut Gallery gasped in shock.
"Quick!" Beth told Courtney as she bounced up and down in her seat a bit in excitement. "Answer it! Answer it!"
"O-Ok!" Courtney immediately answered the call.
Appearing on screen was a very handsome looking teen with brown hair that was spiked up a bit almost similar to Mike's with a muscular build and red shirt. "Hey, is this thing on?" The teen on screen looked it over before smiling a bit as he saw everything on the other side, especially when it came to his girlfriend who was giving him an excited grin. "Oh it is! Hey babe!"
"Hi sweetie!" Beth greeted Brady with an enthusiastic wave. "Oh it's so good to see you!"
"Am I living in the Twilight Zone?" Noah asked as he looked at Brady in shock, a look that was shared by everyone else.
"Oh wow…he's so cute!" Sadie gushed a bit over the handsome guy on screen before turning to Katie. "Right Katie?"
"Huh?" Katie let out as she turned her eyes to her best friend. She was looking at Brady in shock but it was mostly from the fact that he was Beth's boyfriend more so than anything else. "Oh, um, yeah I guess so."
"Forgives me if this sounds offensive," Courtney began slowly, feeling a bit overwhelmed by this and trying her best to make this question not sound too mean. "But…how did this happen?"
"Oh I can answer that," Brody spoke up, thankfully not sounding offended or anything. "Me and Beth were getting our braces off at the same time and right next to each other and the second I saw that smile of hers I was completely smitten."
"Aw stop it~" Beth gushed as she put her hands to her blushing face. "But you can go on if you want~"
"Always with you Bethy-Poo~" Brady told his girlfriend in a flirty tone.
"Ew…" Eva cringed with many others also reacting similarly to the pet name.
"Sorry bout what happened to ya," Brady told Beth sympathetically, obviously referring to Beth getting the boot first. "I know if it weren't for those jerks you woulda made it to the top,"
"Aw thanks, but it's not all bad," Beth reassured her boyfriend, choosing to look on the bright side of things. "I still have you and I'm staying at this awesome hotel for free!"
"Nice!" Brady grinned as he held a thumbs up. "Maybe I'll swing by and see ya!"
"Oh I'd love that!" Beth clapped her hands excitedly.
"Hehe, aw well aren't you two cute," Courtney complimented the couple. "But I'm afraid we're out of time for this, gotta move onto other interviews and clips."
"Hey no problem," Brady pointed some finger guns at the screen as he gave his goodbyes. "I'll call you later babe, love ya!"
"Love you too!" Beth waved her boyfriend goodbye as Courtney hung up with Beth letting out a love struck sigh. "Isn't he just the sweetest thing~?"
"Well certainly looks like you two get along nicely," Courtney chuckled a bit as she put a hand on Beth's leg. "I don't think anyone was expecting that, good on you Beth!"
"Thanks!" Beth grinned.
"Great…" Cody sighed out as he slumped in his seat. "Now I gotta say I got a girlfriend AFTER Beth got a boyfriend."
"What's THAT supposed to mean?!" Beth immediately stood up and glared at Cody who appropriately flinched.
"Nothing, it means nothing!" Courtney told Beth as she stood up as well, silently giving Cody a glare that he was able to interoperate as 'shut up if you know what's good for you,' Cody seemed to get the message and nodded his head. Courtney then looked down at Beth again and smiled. "Now before we play our first set of clips, Beth would you like to join me on the couch? I could use a good co-host."
Beth gasped and quickly forgot her anger towards Cody as she stared up at the CIT in excitement. "Really?!" Beth jumped up a bit in response. "You want me to co-host with you!"
"Sure do!" Courtney nodded, glad to defuse that little situation. "the producers said the first eliminated contestant could join me as a co-host so if you want-"
"I do!" Beth cut Courtney off as she quickly sat down on the couch opposite to Courtney and waved to the camera.
"O-Okay, now let's move to our first set of clips!" Courtney stuttered and laughed a bit in amusement before sitting back down and getting the special clips lately. "For our first set of clips we have some special unseen footage! All our friends and enemies back at the lot aren't always doing challenges, they usually have a few days off in between challenges to relax and prepare for whatever pain Chris has in store for them. But the cameras are always rolling and catching juicy footage! Today we have three special clips of footage caught in those times! So let's role it!"
HAROLD SURFING DISASTER
"Harold this is a bad idea," Lincoln told Harold as the ginger was in his bathing suit and got onto the mechanical surfboard they rode on during the challenge yesterday with Lincoln in front of the console that controlled it. "You really don't have to do this man,"
"I have to Lincoln, my pride as a mad surfer is on the line!" Harold claimed as he put a hand to his chest and assumed the surfing position. "I know I can dominate this thing! Turn it on and I'll show you what I can do when I'm ready for it!"
"Ugh, ok but don't say I didn't warn you." Lincoln shook his head, he knew this was a bad idea but it was clear Harold wasn't taking no for an answer. Hopefully he wouldn't get too hurt. Lincoln grabbed the switch and was prepared to turn it on, but found it was jammed. "What the…"
"Technical difficulties?" Harold asked as he noticed Lincoln struggling to flip the switch.
"I think…it's frozen in place…" Lincoln grunted as he pushed on it a few times. "I think…I got it…loose!" With one final push Lincoln flipped the switch all the way.
BOING!
"AAAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Harold scream as the surfboard flung him into the air…causing Harold to crash through the ceiling and fly high into the sky.
"…Whoops…" Lincoln blinked slowly a few times. "Hope he lands on something soft…"
Cutting to the trailers, Owen was continuing to try and get Izzy's forgiveness as he followed the angrily scowling psycho hose beast. "Come on Izzy…" Owen pleaded as he held Mr. Coconut close to him. "Just talk to me!"
Izzy turned around and faced Owen, but instead of talking to Owen Izzy slapped him a few times before upper-cutting him and sending him on the ground flat on his back. "Ow!" Owen let out as he rubbed his face. "Well…that could have gone worse right Mr. Coconut?"
"…" Mr. Coconut let out.
"What do you mean look out?" Owen asked before-
"AAAAAAAAAHHHH!!!" Harold screamed as he landed right on Owen, making the big guy yell out in pain as Harold lifted himself up. "Wow…that was a surprisingly soft landing! Thanks Owen!"
"Owie…" Was all Owen could let out.
"Wow Owen really couldn't catch a break this season huh…" Beth commented with sympathy.
"No, he really couldn't," Courtney winced a bit before getting ready to play the next clip. "For this next clip we have my boyfriend doing what he does best, irritating everyone around him!"
"Like all boyfriends do," Beth joked, getting a few chuckles as Courtney played the clip.
