Celebrity Manhunt's Total Drama Action Reunion Special

'''Total Drama Action has come to an end and everyone is living the big life. Everyone gathers for the awards for their show. However their wonderful world comes crashing down when the former host announces a new reality show. In a desperate attempt to save their fame, all the competitors join together (along with a new face) in a full out race to New York City. But what does the old host really have planned?'''

Plot
This episode opens by introducing Celebrity Manhunt, a celebrity-watching show that begins to discuss the progress in the lives of the Total Drama contestants since Total Drama Action has ended. It touches on all the characters, with Noah being the one they know the least about. They talk and go into detail about Gwen and Heather's feud, Geoff and Bridgette, DJ and his momma's cooking, The Drama Brothers, Duncan and Courtney, Eva's temper, Tyler and LeShawna's reality-show frenzy, Ezekiel's culture-shock, Owen's "exercise commercial," Lindsay and Beth's arrest and Izzy's acting career. The show's hosts, Josh and Blaineley have Sierra appear on the show (with the lights dimmed and her voice disguised to protect her identity) to tell them all kinds of dirt about the cast. However, Sierra's identity is revealed when Izzy appears out of nowhere and confesses that she had been the one giving Sierra the information on the contestants. Although Sierra is crushed, Josh and Blaineley decided to unofficially make her their reporter, and send her on a gossip hunt on the red carpet. Sierra, however, does a poor job with this, and Blaineley grows impatient. Meanwhile, Chris McLean arrives, and seems to have forgotten the Total Drama cast. The cast comes to the red carpet, and they are "interviewed" by Sierra. They then attempt to go into the award ceremony, but are stopped by Chris and Chef, because they explain to them that they are "no longer famous." He says that they are being replaced by a new cast for his new reality series, "Total Drama Dirtbags," with the cast being the Interns, the Bear, Sasquatchanakwa, The Killer, the Eskimo on the sled from Haute Camp-ture and Alejandro. It is then revealed that Noah is Chris's assistant, but is fired when Chris finds out his latte is cold. Alejandro comes and pushes through the Total Drama contestants, even knocking Cody over and walks by Chris without saying anything even though Chris kindly greets him. Then Chris goes inside the theater for the Gemmie awards, locking the Total Drama cast out with no way to get in. Izzy tries to find a way into the theater, succeeds in doing so and she comes out eating a bag of popcorn but she forgets to hold the door and the cast are locked out once again. The cast's final hope for their fame and fortune to be saved is the Gemmie award for "Best Reality Show," but they lose that as well to another show called "Golden Oldies in their Undies". Then the reward for the "Best Reality Show" host is given to Chris, who reveals that he is going to "The Orpah Show" in New York City to talk about his new reality series, "Total Drama Dirtbags." When the cast have finally given up hope, Sierra motivates them to fight harder. They ultimately come to the conclusion that they need to pursue the bus that Alejandro is driving, which has all of the Dirtbags in it, intercept them, hijack the Orpah interview, and regain their fame and fortune. Harold questions how they are going to get to New York in just one day, and Izzy starts to suggest that they build a boat. However, DJ simply offers them all a ride on his mother's bus, to which they all agree. Courtney drives the bus in pursuit of stopping the Dirtbags' bus and achieving fame. Chris seems to be proud of them for such, and he and Chef actually follow them in the helicopter to watch the entire chase.

While driving after Alejandro, the cast eventually manages to get ahead of him and work together as a team to stop him. LeShawna offers her bra as a catapult for Owen's hundreds of pieces of caramel and chocolate candy. Gwen keeps watch through the back door to let them know when it's good to fire, while Tyler reloads the bra with candy. The chocolate splatters all over the windshield of the Dirtbags' bus, obstructing Alejandro's vision, and is enough to stop him. The cast celebrate their victory, but their victory is short lived because the bus ends up veering off the road when Duncan and Courtney start making out and Courtney stops paying attention to the road. When Courtney does notice that they are out of control, she attempts to regain control of the bus. When she sees the cliff approaching, she tries to slam on the brakes, but finds out (much to everyone's horror) that the brakes aren't working. Despite all the odds, their lives are saved when LeShawna uses her bra to hook onto the edge of the cliff, so that their fall is halted and they are hanging just inches above the ground. Thus, when Duncan uses his knife to cut the bra, the impact is only enough to smash the front end of the bus, but leave all of the cast members unharmed (except for Noah, who is crushed by Owen). While stuck in the canyon, Beth, Geoff, Justin, Katie, Sadie, Trent, Eva, and DJ's Mother go to get help while the others stay and make camp. These eight eventually stumble upon a house in the middle of the desert that is actually a nuclear weapon testing facility, and the eight barely escape before the bomb goes off. The next day, the remaining fifteen contestants are woken up when Chris and Chef return in the helicopter and lower a cable to attach to the overturned bus. The cast members all climb into the bus just before Chris pulls up, lifting the bus out of the canyon and carrying it all the way back to the Abandoned Film Lot. The cast is then served a pancake breakfast (which Owen devours) in the Craft Services Tent with Sierra and Alejandro there as well.

At this point, Chris reveals that "Total Drama Dirtbags" was a test to see if the contestants would do anything in hopes of achieving fame and fortune. He also reveals that Alejandro was working for him to get a spot on the next season. When questioned by the cast about the new season, Chris tells them that they are all in the next season, competing for one million dollars and would be joined by Sierra and Alejandro. Blaineley and Josh are excited and happy to hear this news. The contestants looking for help rush in to the Celebrity Manhunt studio. Blaineley and Josh explain that they lost out on the new season and that they do not qualify for it, which makes them very angry. Geoff is seen completely devastated that he does not compete with Bridgette in the new season, while Eva then has a temper tantrum and starts throwing set equipment, which causes Blaineley and Josh to sign off from their show. Then, confessionals are shown of the cast of Total Drama World Tour (except for Izzy, Lindsay, Cody, Noah, Tyler, and Heather). The episode ends when the battery in the camera runs out during Sierra's confessional. Chris is then shown near a large airplane, while Chef arrives in a airplane stewardess's uniform. They then talk about what the next season would contain including singing. They sing the season's original name while adding a dramatic flair to the end. The front part of the plane breaks which is when Chris thinks that the musical part isn't a good idea and then the real season's logo shows up, ending the episode.

Cast
The Killer and the Intern appear but they have no lines.

Courtney: What do you think I'm doing?! Chef: Told ya those would come in handy. (chuckles) Chris: Yeah, but they're probably all banged-up. You know, the kind you never really heal from?

 * Blaineley: The shoes!
 * Blaineley: Hoser boy got his party on! Miss Know-It-All was caught with her pants down in Paris! Zut alors!
 * Josh: Meanwhile, has Duncney gone rabid?
 * Blaineley: The Celebrity Manhunt cameras caught them all! Even Gwen spotting Heather's three ounce weight gain!
 * Josh: Oooh! I can't wait to see those kitties bare their claws into the red carpet! Rawr!
 * Lindsay: Did anyone see my other earring? It's a gold hoop with a little horse charm?
 * Blaineley: Come on, Duncan! Suck it up and take her back! And Courtney, grow a heart! We know you can, honey!

Save the whales.
 * Gwen: Did you know that Heather couldn't get a date for her semi-formal? That's right. The most famous girl at White Pines High was turned down by every guy in school.
 * Josh: You've been through so much together. Sharing a cabin at a summer camp, a trailer in an abandoned studio. Why not bury the hatchet? Isn't your friendship more important than this blog war?
 * Fan: Eva, can you sign my hockey stick? Huh? Can you sign my hockey stick? Huh?
 * Chris: Dude, where'd you learn how to drive?! NASCAR?!
 * Blaineley: Chris, you must be dying to see the Total Drama cast again?
 * Trent, Cody, Harold and Justin: (singing) When I cry, my eye is wet, and I swear it wasn't guy sweat.
 * Courtney: I have nothing to say about that guy except that he's a complete THUG and I wish I'd never met him!
 * Gwen: Courtney is totally nuts, letting Duncan get away from her like that. He's the best thing that's ever happened to her! I mean, look at the guy, he's hot! I mean... uh... he's okay... for her...
 * Izzy: ... OR I'LL KICK YOUR (bleeping) BUTT! I WANT YOU OFF THE (bleeping) SET!
 * Josh: Okay, worst career moves! Go!
 * Izzy: There you are, silly beans
 * Blainely: Speaking of which Izzy, shouldn't you be on your way to the Jemmy awards?
 * Izzy: Here I am on the red carpet. It's so red. Why is it red? Shouldn't it be black? Or purple, that would be cool!
 * Sierra: Okay, DJ, level with me. Secretly, who can't you stand from Total Drama? Like, who do you just hate?! (Sierra is knocked to the ground by DJ's Mom's purse) OW!
 * Sierra: (Talking to Duncan and Courtney) First the messy break-up, then the custody battle over Brittany... you two must hate each other!

 * Gwen: You're Chris's assistant?
 * Courtney: If we win "Best Reality Ensemble," (turns to Trent) we'll be famous again! Right?
 * Chris: (through a TV) Thanks, again. But I couldn't have done it without a great bunch of people from Total Drama Action. The interns, the caterers, the camera crew and the real stars of the show... my stylists!
 * Geoff: Dudes, you heard the guy. We're nobodies again!
 * Justin: And I'll go back to being just another pretty face.
 * Sadie: ...and abs...
 * Owen: And butt.
 * Sierra: What's the matter with you?! No one deserves to be more famous than you guys! You can't just give up! Do you have any idea how many millions of fans there are out there? I've been watching, blogging, PVRing you since the first episode! I, I mean, we, have fan sites about each and every one of you. We know everything about you, and we are rooting for you! We know your eating habits, your hopes, your fears...YOUR DENTAL RECORDS!
 * Izzy: Noah, I'm counting on you for three gallons of diesel fuel!
 * Harold: Now if we had some kind of catapult... like a bra!
 * Harold: Tyler, ammo!
 * Blaineley: Chris, in your entire career, have you ever seen something so underhanded?
 * Duncan: (to Courtney, who's driving the bus) Hurry it up!
 * Courtney: (screams) I can't steer!
 * Duncan: Step on the brakes!
 * Chris: (pulls out contracts) Total Drama, Inc. waives all legal responsibilities for the sudden and gruesome demise of our cast.
 * DJ: (As the bus flies over the cliff) WE'RE ALL GONNA DIE!
 * Izzy: (as the bus goes over the ledge and is temporally frozen in midair) So Noah was Chris' assistant... Huh!
 * Courtney: Cut the bra! CUT THE BRA!!!!!!
 * Chef: Hm. Would you look at that? They're not dead!
 * Geoff: Why didn’t you dummies open the door!?
 * Sierra: (in confessional) Now I will finally put to rest all those Cody blog questions, like "How many freckles does he have on his back?", "What kind of deodorant does he use?", "How many times does Cody sleep facing west?", and "What song does he sing in the shower?" Ooo. (giggles) Oh! (giggles) Oh, my! (giggles) That last one will definitely be a six month analysis. Oh, yeah! (laughs and shrieks)
 * Ezekiel: (in confessional) Ho-Ho-Homies! Get in Focus! And take notice! I’m what is, oh yeah that showbiz! Uh-uh-uh-uh uh-huh… (falls out of chair)

 * The cast members who use the Confessional in this episode are Courtney, Harold, LeShawna, Sierra, Ezekiel, Bridgette, Gwen, Duncan, Alejandro, DJ and Owen.
 * The "Gemmie" award is possibly a reference to the Emmy Award or its Canadian counterpart, the Gemini Award.
 * This may have been a reference to how Total Drama won the Gemmini award in real life.
 * This is the first episode since "I Triple Dog Dare You!" where Heather is shown to have hair.
 * This is the only episode of Total Drama Action where Heather has hair.
 * This is the first episode to have a fictional magazine, TV show called Celebrity Manhunt appear.
 * This is the first episode since Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island in which Ezekiel and Tyler have lines.
 * This is the first time Bridgette is seen with her hoodie off, revealing a light blue cutoff bra underneath.
 * During the entire gossip segment in the first half of the special, Katie, Sadie and Noah are the only three cast members to not be talked about or interviewed, although Katie and Sadie were featured briefly in Gwen's video blog. Noah, on the other hand, was not talked about because he had vanished mysteriously, and Celebrity Manhunt had no info on him.
 * Two of the interns from Riot on Set and Masters of Disasters are seen once again in this episode and the one from The Very Last Episode, Really! appeared.
 * Heather wears a new wig for part of this episode.
 * This is most likely her last wig.
 * Excluding The Aftermath: IV, this is the only episode of Total Drama Action where all of the contestants are seen together.
 * In addition, this is the sixth episode of the series overall where the whole cast is seen; the first five were Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, Not So Happy Campers - Part 2, The Very Last Episode, Really!, Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island, and The Aftermath: IV.
 * This is the first time that the entire cast is seen in the outside world; in this case, an awards show.


 * LeShawna and Harold are the fourth pair to use the confessional this season, also the seventh time overall. The first pair was Katie and Sadie in The Sucky Outdoors. The second pair was Chris and Chef in Camp Castaways. The third pair was Heather and Owen in Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon. The fourth pair was Bridgette and Geoff in Monster Cash. The fifth pair was Lindsay and Beth in Alien Ressur-eggtion, and the sixth pair was Duncan and Harold in Million Dollar Babies.
 * This marks the second time in the season (first if you don't count the fight between Justin and Duncan), and the third time in the series overall, that two characters have gotten into a full-blown, all-out fist fight on camera (in this case, Heather and Gwen). The first was Duncan and LeShawna in Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon.
 * Ezekiel uses the confessional for the first time in this episode.
 * Justin's ex-girlfriend is based on Sadie's old Camp TV design.
 * There is a parody of "Top Secret" during the episode.
 * Sierra is the last contestant to use a confessional in this episode, and is responsible for causing the camera's battery to run out, thanks to her extensive knowledge about Chris.
 * Sierra appears twice in the special, either in flashbacks or photographs, before the actual reunion starts.
 * She is first seen in a photograph where she is lifting up her shirt so that Geoff can sign her stomach (which greatly angers Bridgette).
 * She is also seen in a photograph stalking The Drama Brothers at their wild party, hiding just around the corner and spying on them.
 * This is the first (and only) episode of the season, and the third episode in the series overall, in which every character has a line. The first two were Not So Happy Campers - Part 1 and Total Drama, Drama, Drama, Drama Island.
 * The movie posters that Izzy had done after Total Drama Action were parodies of the films "Kill Bill", "Attack of the 50 Ft. Woman", "King Kong" and "The Sound of Music".
 * The scene where Geoff, Trent, Beth, Katie, Sadie, Justin, Eva and DJ's Mother find the nuclear testing facility in the middle of the desert is a reference to "Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull". It is also a reference to The Hills Have Eyes.
 * When we see a clip of Izzy on set of one her movies, she starts screaming and cursing an intern who is apparently the director of photography. This is most likely a reference to the Christan Bale incident. The dialogue is actually very similar to the original rant (with the high swears being replaced with lesser ones).
 * The costume that Harold wears for his solo career is the costume of Ali G, a famous TV character created by British comedian Sacha Baron Cohen.
 * This is the fifth time someone says an expletive. However, unlike the others, it is muted out instead of bleeped out.
 * The first time was Not So Happy Campers - Part 1, the second time was That's Off the Chain!, the third time was Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon, and the fourth time was The Aftermath: II.
 * Sierra's "third generation Chris McLean scholar" speech is an allusion to The Millionaire Matchmaker
 * This is the first time in the Total Drama Series that the confessional has run out of battery power.
 * The dummies in the military base are identical to the ones seen in "Beach Blanket Bogus."
 * This is the second time that Heather was seen with her stomach bloated, the first being The Big Sleep.
 * However, the shape of her stomach is different from the first time she bloated (possibly because Blaineley remarked that Heather gained only three ounces).
 * "The Orpah Show" Chris mentions he would be going to is most likely a parody of "The Oprah Show."
 * Talk show host Oprah Winfrey's name was originally "Orpah," meaning the title could be a play on that as well.
 * On many occasions throughout the special, previously-seen locations in the series are seen again, apparently serving a different purpose.
 * The stage where Izzy cursed at the intern is the same stage she used in her skit in Riot on Set.
 * The airport where Bridgette hit Geoff in the head with her surfboard is the same airport that Chris and Chef were in in The Aftermath: IV. The airport is also seen in the Celebrity Manhunt introduction/theme song.
 * The studio where Tyler and LeShawna are filming "Sharp Things Flying at Your Head" is actually the Celebrity Manhunt studio.
 * When Izzy attempts to break into the theater where the Gemmie Awards are being held, both the Aftermath studio and what appears to be the Communal Washrooms are seen while she's popping up in various places.
 * Chris makes a reference to the the motor sport show NASCAR, when he asks Chef where he learned how to drive.
 * An interesting note that if a different reality show had won the Gemmie, Tyler and LeShawna might have actually become famous again since "Oldies in their Undies" was the only show they weren't nominated for.
 * Several of the reality shows that Tyler and LeShawna starred in are parodies of real reality shows.
 * One show, "So You Think You Can Eat That?", is a parody of the reality show "So You Think You Can Dance?"
 * Another show that LeShawna starred in was apparently called "Largest Loser;" a parody of "Biggest Loser."
 * The part where Tyler pretended to be pregnant could be a parody of the reality show "Scott Baio is 46 & Pregnant."
 * When Gwen and Heather are staring at each other the split of their rooms Heather is wearing the shirt she sleeps in.
 * The gopher pulling out an umbrella when the bus is falling towards him is a reference to Wile E. Coyote.
 * The name of the band Trent, Cody, Harold and Justin were in, The Drama Brothers, is most likely a parody of The Jonas Brothers band.
 * Also, the picture of the Drama Brothers' album is a parody of the Beatles' album Abbey Road.
 * It is unknown what ending was used for the episode, as there was hardly a single reference to the winner. However, a flashback during Josh and Blaineley's narration of Beth and Lindsay in France depicted Beth, a security guard, and a wheelbarrow full of money in a prison yard, and all of the money disappears as an illustration of how her jail time took away all her money. This, combined with the fact that she and Lindsay were even in France in the first place (which Beth made clear she could not do so unless she won the million), essentially confirms that this special takes place assuming that the alternate ending happened instead of the real ending.
 * And in the alternate ending Duncan and Courtney go to dinner in the special they're in a restaurant.
 * The real ending could also be applied because Duncan could have spent all his money on trying to get custody of Brittany and on lawyers.
 * It should also be noted that, right as Blaineley said that Beth's parents had to sell their car to bail out Lindsay and Beth, the wheelbarrow full of money appears and and loses all of it's money, so it's possible that that particular money was the money that Beth's parents earned from the car-selling, supporting the theory that this special may use the official ending
 * This is the first episode of Total Drama Action where Izzy refers to herself as 'Izzy.'
 * This is not counting when in The Aftermath: II when she refereed to her self as "Miss Izzy, Esquire."
 * In this episode, Gwen reveals that Heather attends "White Pines High School," which is actually a real life school in Ontario.
 * The design of the limousines that the contestants (and Chris and Chef) arrive in is identical to the Lame-o-sine's design.
 * This is the first episode Tyler says someone's name out loud as he hasn't done this throughout the whole series
 * Noah can be seen cuddling Cody while they are both sleeping. This is very similar to what is seen in The Big Sleep.
 * When Justin says that he's going back to a pretty face, Katie, Sadie, and Owen also adds his pecs, abs, and butt. This mirrors the same spoken dialogue Justin said during the confessional in Monster Cash.
 * In the Celebrity Manhunt intro, the man trying to get Chris' autograph in The Aftermath: IV is seen.
 * The American intern from The Very Last Episode, Really! is also seen.
 * This episode contains the most characters in the entire series.
 * This is the second season finale of the Total Drama series.
 * When Owen gets up after the bus fell off the cliff, it was revealed that he fell on and crushed Noah flat during the impact. The next time something like this will happen is in the season 3 episode, Broadway, Baby!
 * The hobo that steals Ezekiel's wallet appears again in What's Not to Love? in Broadway, Baby!

Goofs

 * When Eva is punching the camera, her mole is on the right side; the opposite of what side it's usually on.
 * Courtney's tattoo is never seen again during all the special, leaving the implication that it was a fake tattoo. Or that she had it removed following her breakup with Duncan.
 * It is unknown if Duncan still has the tattoo as he hasn't taken his shirt off since, and the tattoo is probably no longer there.
 * When Lindsay arrives on the red carpet she has earrings on, but they are not seen throughout the episode.
 * Both Heather and Harold were seen bloated during the Celebrity Manhunt segment, but at the Gemmie awards, they seem to have lost all their weight.
 * When the cast is waiting to see if they won the Gemmie Award for the best reality show, Heather has her regular hair.
 * When the teens are watching the Gemmies, Katie and Sadie's green lines go back to their regular striped shirts.
 * Both Ezekiel and Eva seem to completely disappear towards the end of the special, starting with the action sequence.
 * Eva was noticeably absent during the entire bus chase. She was not seen following the bus's crash, and was also absent when the small rescue party fled from the nuclear testing facility. Nonetheless, she was alongside them when they arrived at the Celebrity Manhunt studio, and was enraged when she found out that she would not be participating in season three.
 * Ezekiel was seen in many of the group shots, as well as several of his own shots, during the bus chase. He was absent following the bus's crash, but was apparently among the cast members rescued by Chris and taken back to the Craft Services Tent. Also, when Chris announced Total Drama World Tour, Ezekiel was missing from the wide shots of the entire cast in the Tent. Despite this, he still appeared in the Confessional in the very end of the episode, stating that he was glad to be in season three.
 * While the characters are watching the Gemmies outside the studio Noah's sunglasses disappear, only to re-appear again when everyone gets up.
 * The show Tyler and LeShawna were on was called "Sharp Things Flying at Your Head," yet some items such as a cinder block, missile, trash can, tennis racket, and cash register weren't sharp, but do hurt when you're hit with one.
 * When Gwen shows the hidden video of Heather's cat licking her mouth, Heather has her hair in a ponytail. This is impossible because Josh said that the blog wars were last year. Heather was still bald at this time.
