Sorry that it took me long, but I think all of you guys are waiting for it. The Total Drama Action 1st episode recap: Here it is!
EPISODE ONE RECAP: Monster Cash
It has been almost two years since last season of Total Drama. It has been almost two years since we had a winner, Owen. Until one month ago when Owen decides to rip up his prize of $100,000 and risked it all for an even bigger prize of $1,000,000. And it was just one month ago that Chris decided for a brand new season. This time, the 14 campers who were close of winning the million dollars in TDDDI are given another chance to win it all. 42 days, 14 cast mates, $1,000,000. This is Total Drama Action! And am I glad to be back and give u guys the TDA season recap.
WELCOME BACK CAMPERS! And are we glad to see the campers again. On a bus ride to the abandoned set in Toronto, Ontario, the 14 contestants are set up for the new season. When we see the cast come down the bus, we see a few things coming from the cast. At first, the rivalry between Gwen and Heather continues to linger on as they fought when they got off the bus. Also, it seems that Heather didn't do work with her hair as she still keeps a wig above her head. Looks like we'll still see her bald head during the series. But the most surprising change would be with Beth as everyone noticed that her braces have been removed and everyone is taking note of that. Especially Lindsay whom I think really loves Beth as her BFF right now. Well it's time to head in, but there was only 13 campers that were on the tram. Where's Izzy? Owen tries to call her up by her name, but she never responds. He then called Izzy, "Kaleidoscope" and she gymnastic her way to the tram. (FYI, Izzy has a new name called E-Scope).
TOUR OF THE NEW SET: Chris McClain explains the whole situation for the brand new season, Total Drama Action. The setting: An abandoned film lot in Toronto. How much time are they going to spend there: 6 weeks. Why are they here: to play in challenges for reward and to compete in getting the big award of one-million dollars! Again like Total Drama Island, there will be two teams. When a team loses, they vote off one of their own and head down the walk of shame into the new ride for the losers, the "lame-o-scene," which totally reeks of toxic fumes as the cast passed by it. There will be a confessional for all campers to spill their comments out to the public. But it isn't like a outhouse, more of a makeup department confessional. Really great upgrade, Chris! Again, Chef is making food which the campers will not enjoy much. Eliminations is based on an awards ceremony where those who make it through will get not a marshmallow from last season, but a guilded Chris? LOL. It seems like someone is more of a fan of themselves than the others. Now that we have got that down, it's time to find out why TDA is set here. According to Chris, the movie lot was once used to make a monster movie, but the star had glitches. And by that, the monster ran rampage throughout the set. And it is still roaming the set as we speak! This leads the campers to the 1st challenge in Total Drama Action!
CHALLENGE: Monster Movie- With Chef controlling the beast, all campers have to find the cast trailers while the monster is out looking for them. When captured, that camper's game is done. So best not to get caught. And with Chris yelling, "Action," the campers were on their way!
WHAT HAPPENED IN THE CHALLENGE: When Chris said Action, the campers quickly ran out of the shuttle and into the film studio to hide away from the monster. All except one, which was DJ who still was in terrible shock after seeing the monster. He even begged for his mama. It's not looking like a good start for DJ so far. The rest of the campers were trying to hide, but the monster quickly found Izzy who won't answer to her name as Owen quickly said her name to avoid getting caught. Someone forgot about her new name, E-scope. So without any help, the monster quickly got E-scope and she went into the bounce house. Back to the campers, Geoff and Bridgette were just continuing to make out in the beach scene while the other campers quickly had to find the trailers. Duncan saw them saying that this ain't the action this season is all about. Exactly, Duncan thanks for putting my point! Soon the two would comment in the confessionals that the money was is more important than just a make out session. Bridgette: "I love Geoff and all, but hello I also like a million bucks!" Geoff: "Duncan's right. It's time to get our heads in the game." Next scene, THEY CONTINUE TO MAKE OUT! I see these two hopeless in their chances of winning TDA unless they STOP! Come on u two, get a room! And again, it wasn't long until the monster soon found the two in the confessionals and they were soon in the bounce house. Turning our cameras to Leshawna and Harold, Leshawna was found trying to help Harold find the trailers instead of hiding all throughout the challenge. But the monster soon found them and they soon got into the bounce house. Trent and Gwen were on their way to the trailers, until they both saw the monster and quickly ran the other way. Justin didn't see it and soon was caught by the monster. And we should all be in fond with this right now, Justin's hot charms soon got into the monster! He still was caught, but he was gently placed down in the bounce house. Looking at Justin, thanks to his beauty, it may be an advantage of winning in TDA. Justin: "I'm not just another gorgeous face, abs, and butt, and shoulders. I am also a master strategist and this year, I'm in it to win it." The camera now goes to Heather as she closely encounters with the monster. If it wasn't for Lindsay who quickly got out of a bush agreeing with the monster that it hates Heather too, Heather would have had a free run. But the two were caught, leaving a sad Beth missing her much. So there were only 6 people left trying to find the trailers. 4 of them (Gwen, Trent, DJ, and Beth) grouped together to find the trailers themselves, only to be seen from the monster that was right behind them. So in a city, Trent quickly wanted everyone to hide in a building but he didn't know that it was just a prop. Goodbye to all four of them. And that leaves Duncan and Owen to find the trailers who were both hiding right next to the group of 4 when they were caught by the monster. It didn't take long for the monster to find them as well. It got Duncan, but it didn't get Owen, which actually gave him a chance to win this challenge. But he didn't have the ability to run any further and he suddenly fell in the scene. The monster quickly found him and was soon going to be with the other 13. But as it lifted Owen, the arm suddenly glitched. Chef was unable to lift Owen up and he quickly gave up. And Owen now has the chance to find the trailers. He should be able to find them in oh, 20 min......1 hour....... 3 hours?....... 7 hours?......... HOW ABOUT 10 1/2 HOURS?!?!?! Where the hell was the fat dude? The campers just camped out in the bounce house all night wondering when he will be able to find it. And 22 hours after Chef gave up, Owen found them and deflated the bounce house. Wait, why couldn't the campers just did that in the first place? Oh well everyone seemed to be there, but E-scope. We seemed to know that E-scope was on a date with the monster when the challenge was still in play. This actually made a frustrated Owen. So what is the deal with the relationship of Owen and Izzy? Still undetermined at this point. But the episode doesn't end here. Chris then gave the campers another challenge. But this time, for a BIG reward.
CHALLENGE: Quest for the key- This is a boys vs. girls contest where each team will have to search on a table of food the key to the trailers. The winning team will have the first pick of which trailer their team would get. (Unfortuately, one of the trailers was crushed as the monster stomped on it dropping off E-scope to the cast. So that means, this challenge means a lot to everyone.)
WHAT HAPPENED: THE CHALLENGE NEVER EVEN BEGAN! When everyone was in the Crafts tent, Owen, with his appetite of eating, quickly went to the food and gobbled it before Chris even explained the challenge! HE ATE ALL OF THE FOOD IN THE TABLE! WHAT A STOMACH! Owen quickly was tired out and that's when Chris explained to Owen it wasn't an eating contest. But since he ate all the food, he must have eaten the key. But he burped it out and indicated that the boys win the challenge! This quickly gave many positive reactions for Owen. Leshawna: "You know what that boy has? Guts." So as he tries to get the foam (the food was made from plastic and foam rubber) digested by an antacid, Owen decided the trailer that the boys will sleep in. AND HE PICKED THE SQUASHED ONE! Wow what a dumb sucker? LOL. The boys were mad in disbelief. And that gave the girls a happy ending, until the monster came back and crushed their trailer too. What a way to end the first episode.
HOW IS EVERYONE SLEEPING? So as chef fixes up the trailer the monster messed up, the boys and the girls had to find out how everyone will be sleeping throughout the season. The boys had a fine way of making sleeping arrangements. On top: Harold, Justin, and Trent. On Bottom: Geoff, Duncan, and Owen (Undetermined where DJ slept on). The girls, on the other hand, had problems. Just like last season, the girls have never had the chance to find peace with each other. They don't know how this is going to work out. So what they ended up doing was drawing eye-liners. Short get bottom and long gets top. And the arrangements were settled. On top: Lindsay, Gwen, Izzy. On Bottom: LeShawna, Beth, and Bridgette. And that left Heather with 2 beds! Looks like the girls never did their math.
And as the day winds down on Total Drama Action, the cast slept without a sound. That is, until Chris came with a megaphone screaming with their wake up call. The contestants woke up in shock, but Chris was just playing around. He let the cast go to sleep again. Unfortunately for the boys, they slept in a gaseous trailer. SOMEONE LIFT THE WINDOWS!
NOTES: Well there are a lot of notes to write down coming from this episode so this is going to be long.
- Beth and Lindsay being best friends are really cool in my mind. But sometimes the two can be like real girly-girly-girls which actually doesn't make me think they are going far. They are like a Katie and Sadie duo from last year which both didn't even made it to the final 10! If they continue to be like K&S, they are going to be out fast.
- Ok I like the relationships in this season but one is just so ridiculous right now and that's Geoff and Bridgette. They have been constantly kissing in every scene ever since the TDI special. Look you two, you both are going into a new season where you may win big cash and all you guys do is just make out! This is from me: People who just continues to do things like this will NEVER win! I hate to say this, but Geoff and Bridgette are AUTOMATICALLY OUT in my terms. I just want them out. It's not a good game if these two are always on doing their business.
- Justin is the contestant that has everyone popping questions. Coming from this episode, Justin seems that he has what it takes to win TDA! All that he has to do is work on the body. Everything that seems good for him has always been thanks to his model body. Letting everyone stare at you and idol you? That's amazing. It has been a key for him since. And it seems that it is really working for him now. See Justin pull through big during TDA.
- DJ didn't impress me at all during this episode. I always remember him as a man who is partially scared at things, but not as much. In this episode, with an anamatronic monster, he quickly was terrified. He even begged for her mom. When it comes to scary situations, DJ isn't the one to be in the mix. I don't see him going far unless he gets his act together.
- Owen continues to be impressive. And it all starts with his body and his appetite. First off, the monster cannot carry him due to his weight, winning him the challenge. Plus his appetite gave him the advantage of winning the next challenge. Owen just looks like he's going to win it again. See him to be a big contestant in TDA.
- Chris in the end explained some things about the next episode of TDA. One especially concerning was Trent and Gwen. Look out for things to come for this great couple in the next episode of TDA. Possible breakup in the mix?
- Many of you have seen the preview page of Total Drama Action on CN.com. In the episode, 14 campers were there, but in the cast picture on CN.com, 15 campers were shown! Courtney was the other camper. Plus she was also seen in the TDA opening sequence. Are we really going to see Courtney in Total Drama Action? Only time will tell.....
- Here's what I think are the characters that impressed coming from today's episode: Izzy, Gwen, Duncan, Justin, Owen, and Heather.
Well that's all I got here. Next week's episode will be an alien or sci-fi movie. Who will end up being the better one off everyone? And who will be sent to the Lame-O-scene? Find out in the next episode of TDA! U can now post your thought about this episode now. Cya guys in a bit!
