User blog:CheeseBurgerGuy/Total Drama Theory: What if the Second Generation had been Introduced in Action?

In most Survivor seasons (of which Total Drama is a parody), we typically see the emergence of a brand new cast and the semi-retirement of the old until all-star seasons or fan vs favorite seasons. Until TDROTI, Total Drama didn't follow this trend and bascially kept the same set of contestants (not including Alejadnro and Sierra). What if Total Drama had decided to introduce the second generation with the second season? That's what I'm here to answer today.

Episode 1: Monster Cash

 * First half of the episode is spent introducing the audience to the new cast.
 * Winner = B(everly)
 * The second part of the challenge (fake food) is no longer apart of the episode
 * Instead of choosing which trailer to stay in, Chris annouces the first twist of the season
 * Hiding in the trailers are Duncan and Lindsay! B must choose one to enter the competiton (as they are hiding, B doesn't know who is who).
 * Since Chef Prematurley smashes Duncan's trailer as revenge and not wanting the delinquent to stay, both Duncan and Lindsay offically debut into the competiton.
 * Commments: Since Duncan is a canon finalist in Action and Lindsay wasn't replaced by another contestant (and made it quite far in canon herself), I decided both should appear in the season to bypass the need for half the second gen cast returning.

Episode 2: Alien Resurr-eggtion
​​​​
 * Winners of the challenge win immunity and are team captains
 * Svetlana, the first of Mike's alternate personalites, is introduced this episode
 * Immunity/Reward: Duncan and Jo.
 * Bottom 2: Lindsay and Stacci
 * Why Lindsay?: Many of the new players are afraid of playing against Duncan and Lindsay and want one of them gone. Since Duncan's immune...
 * Why Staci?: Despite the threat of returning players, Staci constantly annoyed the cast throughout the first two episodes, was unable to be trusted with anything, and nobody wanted to deal with her possibly being on their team.
 * Eliminated: Staci (15th)
 * Comments: Staci was an obvious filler character and needed to go sooner rather than later. I made this a single elimination instead of double like canon as we already have an odd number of contestants and we need even for teams.

Episode 3: Riot on Set

 * Screaming Gaphers
 * Duncan
 * Mike
 * Zoey
 * Anne Marie
 * Sam
 * Dakota
 * Cameron
 * Killer Grips
 * Jo
 * Brick
 * Scott
 * Lindsay
 * B(everly)
 * Dawn
 * Lightning
 * The Grips end up winning the first half of the challenge due to having more athletic players
 * They go on to choose Dawn to play the part of the old woman (Duncan stays the thug)
 * Scott, wanting to throw the challenge like he does in TDROTI, flips the scripts
 * Chester (one of Mike's personalities), makes his debut this episode
 * Chef starts an illegal alliance like in canon; this time with Brick.
 * Winners: Screaming Gaphers
 * Non-elimination episode
 * Comments: Considering the number of episodes we have and a desire to flesh out the remaining characters, I decided to delay the elimination.

Episode 4: Beach Blanket Bogus

 * The Grips all end up doing horribly on the surfboard (Dawn refuses to hurt animals, B is too big, Scott throwing it, etc.), with Duncan getting the win for the Gaphers.
 * Lindsay's eye for cute things saves the Grips in the sandcastle portion.
 * Mike's alternate personality Vito is introduced and begins the love triangle between Mike, Zoey, and Anne Marie
 * Vito ends up dancing for the Gaphers while Scott volunteers Jo.
 * Winners: Screaming Gaphers
 * Bottom 2: Scott and Dawn
 * Why Scott?: Dawn checked out Scott's aura and realized that Scott had been throwing these competitons. She got her alliance of B and Lindsay to vote for the country boy.
 * Why Dawn?: Scott blamed Dawn for costing the team the last challenge and said she was the team's weakest link. While Jo wanted Lindsay to go, she ends up admitting that Lindsay might be more helpful in the long run.
 * Eliminated: Dawn (14th)
 * Comments: I really like Dawn but I can't have her hanging around for too long due to her aura abilities. Besides, Lindsay can be B's voice in her stead since she talks so much.

Episode 5: 3:10 to Crazytown

 * Scott attempts to throw the challenge again but this time he makes it a little too obvious considering Jo was watching him (she was suspicious after Dawn gave them a warning on the way out).
 * Manitoba Smith (the last of Mike's personalities), makes his debut this episode.
 * Winners: Screaming Gophers
 * Bottom 2: B and Scott
 * Why B?: Scott tried to convince everyone that they couldn't trust B due to how quiet he was.
 * Why Scott?: See above.
 * Eliminated: Scott (13th)
 * Comments: Scott is another one of my favorites from the second generation cast and certainly not gone for good. I wanted to have a primary antagonist for each arc, dictated by the Aftermaths. With this, the first arc (Scott's) has come to a close

​​​Episode 6: Aftermath I

 * Hosts are Owen and Izzy
 * Peanut Gallery includes: Heather, Courtney, Gwen, Geoff, Bridgette, DJ, Leshawna, Harold, Tyler, Noah and Beth.
 * First Interview: Staci
 * Introduced the truth or hammer game
 * Lies right away and the hammer knocks Staci off the stage
 * Proceeds to become the first member of the booted peanut gallery (located on the left of the stage)
 * Second Interview: Dawn
 * Talks about her friendship with Lindsay and B
 * Mentions how she is disappointed that Scott got away with cheating
 * Foreshadwos future villains, saying "Scott wasn't the only one on the lot who had a dark aura"
 * Third Interview: Scott
 * Most of the previous contestants, espcecially Heather, roast Scott on his horrible strategy
 * Scott says that if he could go back and fix his mistakes, he never would've thrown a competition...and the hammer knocks him off stage since Izzy forgot to turn it off.
 * Comments: Hopefully you all liked my take on the first aftermath. I decided to make Owen and Izzy the hosts since Owen is te canon winner and Izzy is great comic relief. Everyone in the peanut gallery was chosen due to either appearing in Action, having a connection to the two returnees, or both. The semi-exception is Noah, who is mostly there due to Owen and Izzy (though he did interact with Duncan and Lindsay briefly and was in the bottom 2 with the latter).

Episode 7: The Chefshank Redemption
