User blog:ArtDraw12/The Ridonculous Race 2 (My Season) - Announcement & Votings

Hi. This blog is an announcement of My Season of RR - basically RR 2. I know what some of you may think - I haven't even finished My Season of TD yet. Well, I need to think ahead to plan plots etc. The first step is the cast and here I met some difficult choices I hope you'll help me with. But let's get slowly started.

Premise
After the success of Total Drama: Chef Edition (aka My Season of TD), Don became jealous and felt he needed to promote his show better. To do this he decided to make the second season of RR with a lot of TD veterans (he asked the producers for permission to have contestants from a different show), RR returnees and completely new pairs.

Cast
Here's the point of the blog. Some pairs are a must-have for me. They won't be for the voting. But in a lot of cases I'll leave a question for you. You see, some of my ideas are conflicting, as there's more than one person I could see someone with. You'll be able to vote for some team names and some versions of some teams. The voting questions will be written in bold text. Here's the first example:

Question #1: Should RR 2 (My Season of RR) be written in the same format as My Season of TD, or should it be written in a script format (dialogues with only a few sentences describing what happens)?

And because I'm not sure about some versions of some pairs, I can't tell you how many pairs will be competing. Depending on your choices, there can be 24 pairs max and 22 at least.

TD veterans
Those are pairs where both contestants are from TD:

"Must-have" teams
Bridgette and Geoff - Surfers / Aftermath Hosts

Question #2: What should be their team name (of the mentioned above)?

Why RR 2? Geoff wanted to compete with Bridgette in the first season, but she was busy at the time. This time she's avaiable, so they decided to take the chance, especially because last time Geoff did really great.

Note: Surfers would be a homage to Geoff's team from first season - Surfer Dudes. Aftermath Hosts are self-explanatory, but there are some more teams that may have "Hosts" in their name.

Amy and Samey - Twins

Why RR 2? Just like in Chet and Lorenzo's case, their parents forced theme to compete together, hoping they'd resolve their conflict for good.

Cody and Sierra - Stalkers

Why RR 2? Sierra became a huge fan of this show, just like she is of TD. She wanted to compete on this show, as she already got a chance to compete in TD. Meanwhile, Cody enjoys being famous. They stayed in touch after TDWT, so they decided to team up.

Dakota and Sugar - Peagant Queens

Why RR 2? They both met at one of the peagant shows they participated in. They recognized each other from different seasons of Total Drama and decided to team up for upcoming second season of RR to get more screen time.

Izzy and Owen - Goofballs (?) Question #3: What should be their team name?

Why RR 2? Owen decided to comete with his old girlfriend after Noah decided to compete with Emma this time, so the competition would be like a double date for them. They also make sure Emma and Noah focus on the competition and don't have any problems in their relationship, like Kitty and Owen did in the first season.

Katie and Sadie - BFFFLs

Why RR 2? It's been a long time since they competed in TD for the last time. They decided to try their chances in RR instead, as with the show's format, they can be on the same team together all the time.

Optional teams
Following are the cases where I have more than one idea for someone. Here, you'll be able to choose more than just a name for a team. The version with the most votes will appear on my RR 2.

Alejandro and Heather - Strategists

Why RR 2? They want to prove you can win this show with strategy. They also want to prove they can be great working together.

Alejandro and Jose - Brothers (This pair would actually fall under my "Others" category due to involving a character who hasn't been a contestant yet.)

Why RR 2? Jose felt humiliated after his battle with Alejandro in Suckers Punched. This is why he decided to compete in another show and force his younger brother to compete with him. He's doing better in challenges than Alejandro, which annoys his little brother.

Heather and Justin - Antagonists

Why RR 2? Alejandro was forced by Jose to compete with him. Since he was already taken and Heather wanted to compete, Heather chose Justin to spite Alejandro, as they're considered to be very alike. Justin only agreed to regain his old fame.

Question #9: If you chose Tyler, what should be their team name?

Note: There is no question about choosing one of the versions this time. This version will be based on your choice of Leshawna's team. If you choose Leshawna to compete with Tyler, Beth and Lindsay will compete together. If you choose otherwise, Lindsay and Tyler will compete together.

RR returnees
Sick of having to choose between some versions? Be happy because here everything's already chosen.

Carrie and Devin - Daters 2.0 Why RR 2? They decided to compete once again now that they became an official couple. They also wanted to make up for their irregular elimination from the first season.

Dwayne and Junior - Father and Son Why RR 2: Junior enjoyed the fame he had in school thanks to competing on reality TV show. He convinced his dad to sign up for another season to make up for being eliminated due to his jinx. Additionally, it's revealed the happy news Don wanted to tell them about in Little Bull on the Prairie were not only that the producers agreed to pay for Dwayne's tattoo removal, but also that they want them to compete in the second season.

Ellody and Mary - Geniuses Why RR 2? They felt like they didn't have a chance to shine in their first season, getting even less attention than the first eliminated team. They've learned from their mistakes and are ready to improve.

Emma and Noah - Snarkers Why RR 2? They decided to come back to the show where they became a couple, this time competing together.

Jacques and Josee - Ice Dancers Why RR 2? They're always ready to perform for their fans. And they feel like they need to improve their ranking since the last time where they ended up on their hated third place.

Jen and Tom - Fashion Bloggers Why RR 2? They want to promote their blogs as much as they can. They also want to create their own website, not just a blog, and they need a help to do so, which they want to get via promoting their plans on TV.

Other teams
Following is a category for teams that include at least one character who hasn't been a contestant before. Depending on which versions get the most votes, some of the aforementioned teams may also belong to this category.

Chef and Chris - Total Drama Hosts Why RR 2? Chris was jealous that the second season of The Ridonculous Race may become even better received than any of Total Drama seasons. He wanted to replace Don as a host, but the producers refused. Thus, not to allow the viewers forget about him and his show, he decided to compete with his co-host to steal as much screen time as possible.

Blaineley and Josh - Celebrity Manhunt's Hosts / Reporters Question #10: Which of the given ones should be their team name?

Why RR 2? After their shows failed, they decided to try anything to still be on TV. As reporters, they love travelling. They're ready to get dirt on the fellow competitors as well.

Dawn and Sunset - Father and Daughter Why RR 2? Dawn hopes competing alongside will make her father accept her new boyfriend.

DJ and Momma - Mother and Son Why RR 2? DJ's mother doesn't accept his girlfriend, finding her too weird for her son. DJ wanted to make her change her mind by having their and his girlfriend's teams competing together as an alliance.

Emily and Wade - Henchmen Why RR 2? They are grandfather and granddaughter. Wade worked for years as a butler, while Emily worked long at Canadian airport and at Burj Al Arab. Both became sick of working for rich people and decided to sign up for the show to win and money and enjoy a long vacation.

Note: The butler's name, Wade, is a reference to a fanfiction called "Total Drama: Revenge of the Minors"

Granny and Nancy - Mother and Daughter 2.0 Why RR 2? They live together alone in the New York and once saw RR's crew, which is how they found out about the show. Nancy gave birth to her child by that time and now wants to win the money to allow her daughter have a good life, especially after the father of her baby left her. She can count on the help of her mother and the grandmother of her baby, while the grandfather takes care of the child.

Sky and Claudia - Athletes Why RR 2? Sky loves competition and winning. She wanted to compete with her boyfriend, Keith, but decided to take a short break from boyfriends after all the drama in Total Drama: Pahkitew Island. She decided to participate with her equally athletic sister instead.

That's it. I had even more ideas, but keep in mind there are already freaking many characters. I had to cut some teams such as Eva and Jo (due to already getting enough screen time in My Season of TD, as well as Sky and her sister being the athletic females) and Jasmine and Shawn (their survival experience is good for TD's theme, by what to use it for in RR?).

Make sure to answer the questions in the comments. Of course, some of them are only for one of the options, so you don't have to answer all of them if you chose a different one. But make sure not to forget the number of the question, so I could see which option gets the most votes.

I'll be inactive on the wiki for a few days, so the voting should get enough votes by that time (or maybe even will last longer).
