A man looking to be in his early to mid thirties stood on a dock located in the middle of a disgusting beach which included: Trash, murky water, deadly sea life, and other forms of displeasures. The man spoke into the camera with a smirk planted firmly on his lips, "Yo. We're coming at you LIVE from camp Wawanakwa. Somewhere in Muskoka Ontario!" He placed his fingers on his chest as he continued, "I'm your host, Chris McLain. Dropping season 1 of the hottest, new reality show on television, right now!"

The now named Chris began a leisurely stroll further down the dock as he continued to introduce the so called, 'Hottest reality show on tv'. "Here's the deal. 26 campers have signed up to spend 8 weeks right here, at this crummy old summer camp. They'll compete in challenges against each other, then have to face the judgement of their fellow campers. Every 3 days, one team will either win a reward or watch one of their team members walk down the 'dock of shame', take a ride on the 'loser boat'," Chris chuckled at the names, his personal choices. "And leave Total Drama Island for good."

The screen transitioned to a sloped hill with logs resting at the top, a fire pit at the center, and a rusty steel barrel located at the bottom. Chris appeared at the edge of the screen as he continued to talk, "Their fate will be decided here, at the 'Dramatic Campfire Ceremony' where each week, all but one camper will receive a marshmallow." McLain grabbed one of three sticks that all went through their own marshmallow. He took a bite out of the fluffy ball of sugary sweetness before continuing, "In the end, only one will be left standing and will be rewarded with cheesy tabloid fame and a small fortune." Chris indicated the small treasure chest that he held in his hand filled with gold coins, valuable trinkets, and even jewels. "Which, lets face it, they'll probably blow in a week. To survive, they'll have to battle,"

"Black flies," the screen changed to display exactly what Chris spoke of, black flies. "Grizzly bears," the camera panned out to show the massive beast as it roared into the camera. "Disgusting camp food," again, the screen changes to show a bowl filled with maggots and worms, some still moved with their slime making disgusting squelching sounds. "And, each other." The screen briefly returned to the ever amused Chris before changing again. "Every moment will be caught on cameras, expertly hidden, all over the camp showing all there darkest secrets, friendships, love interest, and enemies, for your and my personal entertainment and of course the campers will have no idea..." Chris let out a devious snicker at that last part. "Who will crumble under the pressure? Find out here, right now on: Total...Drama...Island!"

(Go to the first part for the theme song)

Chris addressed the audience while patiently waiting for the contestants to arrive, "Welcome back to Total Drama Island. Alright, it's time to meet our first 13 campers. We told them they'd all be staying at this five star resort, so if they seem a little pissed off, that's probably why."

The sound of an engine could be heard as the camera turned to show a crisp white boat with golden trims. This luxurious ride was provided to each contestant to reassure them that they were going to a five star resort. A short girl stepped off the boat carrying a single suit case decorated with orang flowers. She wore pink jeans that seemed to fit comfortably with her legs. She also had on a loose blue shirt that went down to her hips and over it she wore a green vest decorated with multiple pins and buttons. The girl had her chocolate brown hair tied into a ponytail and her dark brown eyes were hidden behind a pair of black wide-frame glasses.

"Beth, what's up" Chris called and immediately received a reaction as the cheerful young woman sprinted towards the host and embraced him. "It's so nice to meet you!" Beth gave a quick gasp as she inspected Chris for a brief second before speaking," Wow, you're much shorter in real life." Not sure whether to take it as an insult or a compliment, Chris deadpanned, "Uh....thanks." Beth gave a quick wave to the camera before walking to the other side of the dock, as instructed by Chris, to wait for the rest of the competitors.
