A jazzy theme song blasted over a CGI opener: a film reel slowly descending the screen as the words 'Total', 'Drama', and 'Action' fell directly into place vertically. A crowd cheered and the intro faded to reality, where Geoff and Bridgette, wearing formal outfits - the former a blue tuxedo with a rose on the chest and smart black shoes, and the latter a blue dress that ended at her knees and some blue high heels. They sat down on a red sofa in the middle of a studio set, red curtains set behind them, a monitor dangling above them from the ceiling, and a roaring crowd in front of them. They waved to their adoring fans with smiles on their faces as the music crescendoed.

"Hello out there, Total Drama fans! If you're here today in the audience, you're some very lucky people!" Geoff greeted, a microphone under his shirt.

Bridgette nodded in agreement. "Winners of the raffle on the Total Drama website will gain you a seat for a live viewing of this Total Drama themed talk show, otherwise known as..."

"Total! Drama! Aftermath!" The couple shouted in unison.

(Fade to opening theme)

Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine,

You guys are on my mind.

You asked me what I wanted to be

And now I think the answer is plain to see,

I wanna be famous.

I wanna live close to the sun,

Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,

Everything to prove, nothing in my way

I'll get there one day.

'Cause, I wanna be famous!

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

"That's right, Total Drama Aftermath! The show where I, Geoffrey Jones..."

"And I, Bridgette Summers..."

"Summarise what you may have missed from the last few episodes of the hit reality show Total Drama Action, interview eliminated contestants, and try to entertain the greatest fanbase in the world!" Geoff finished.

The crowd's cheering became louder before Geoff gestured for them to quiet down.

Bridgette nodded. "Thank you all so much for the support. But obviously, Geoff and I aren't the only ones here tonight. Please welcome the Peanut Gallery!" She motioned with her hands toward a set of seats lined up like bleachers to her left, featuring all of the contestants that didn't make the cut.

"Presenting Ezekiel," Geoff started. Ezekiel waved with a dopey smile on his face. "Noah," Noah was wearing headphones over his ears while reading, and didn't even try to look up. "Eva!" Snapped out of her annoyed glare, she blushed and waved toward the audience. A particularly loud, gruff cheer came from the crowd. "Courtney!" Courtney gave a smile and a wave as if she were royalty. "And last but definitely not least, Katie and Sadie!"
