Imagine a Total Drama All Stars with an Aftermath after every episode where each all star is interviewed. Every episode does have a“that’s gonna leave a mark”!
Lindsay’s episode focuses around her possibly playing dumb still due to her almost intentionally getting the boot. And then she reveals she is not as dumb as she looks and did actually give herself the boot and then reveals she’s going into modeling or something.
Lightning’s episode focuses on how goofy he is, kind of knocking him down a peg and making him realize just being strong really isn’t enough. Or he just ends it trying to compete with everyone and then Eva finally gets to do something and beats him at arm wrestling. Lightning and Tyler also form either a bromance or a rivalry due to Lightning being athletically gifted while Tyler just wears the gear.
Jo’s episode is about her and Lightning settling their rivalry, and then some of the female cast teases Lightning about not knowing Jo was a girl from the get go. Maybe Jo makes too many rude comments and Leshawna puts her foot down?
Sam’s episode might get trippy with him and Harold. The cast might tease Sam a little and then they bring Dakota out and now she is so upset at them roasting Sam she goes nuts and the Aftermath ends with everyone running. It ends with Sam being sad he can’t be a cool mutant like Dakota and Dakota saying she still likes Sam for who he is.
The Heather episode is a lot of teasing her about her feelings for Alejandro. Think the lie detector test from Action but far less brutal. It humanizes Heather a bit to the rest of the cast, even if they find it a little scary that she likes Alejandro for being the master manipulator guy.
Sierra’s episode is about her cooling down from her Cody withdrawal (mostly because he offers to sit next to her during the aftermath). It turns into Sierra interrogating almost everyone and it ends with maybe Cody liking Sierra back, and it finally is told to Sierra that Cameron is not Cody. Also maybe Dakota and Sierra bond over being the stronger partner in their‘ship who is also super devoted to them.
Duncan is in jail so they don’t really have him available during his episode. But a lot of the contestants talk about Duncan and some of them even defend his actions. Harold in particular is pretty amazed at Duncan’s transformation in All Stars and rallies the rest of the cast to put together a fund raiser for his bail. This is why is he in All Stars’ finale even if he was not picked. Trent might reveal he still likes Gwen, he might not. Duncan communicates every so often through a video call, but it gets cut off every so often due to silly circ*mstances. The episode ends with everyone asking Duncan about Mal and then when he starts to go into detail, a cop cuts him off when Duncan is implying Mal may have seriously injured or even murdered someone. DJ runs out screaming and the episode ends there.
Cameron’s episode includes things like Jo and Lightning praising him for becoming more“Evil” and Cameron being terrified of Mal. The“that’s gonna leave a mark!” segment doesn’t help, due to everyone realizing that the footage is Mal hurting people off camera.
Alejandro’s episode is going to be awkward because everyone laughs at him for all of the humiliation he’s suffered. It’s also cathartic for a lot of the contestants to see him eliminated by Mal, but Heather tries to come to his defense. And they realize without the competition they have each other, which leads to their behaviour at the start of the finale.Heather is also shown his fight with his brother, and is touched by his love for her.
The Courtney episode is about how she’s transformed from kind of evil, to straight up antagonist, to off her rocker due to her relationship with Duncan and Gwen, to present. Duncan sort of implies he was trying to make her jealous while dating Gwen, because that’s how the‘ship was written in All Stars. Courtney’s moved on and Duncan feels uncomfortable. He is also still in jail. Courtney is now the one who wants to repair her friendship with Gwen and the audience eats it up. Also everyone teases Courtney for her liking Scott, and some of them are even grossed out by it. Beth defends her, bringing up her boyfriend Brady.
The Gwen and Scott episode begins with Scott and Gwen freaking out at Courtney, and then Scott being laughed at by the third gen cast for being the punching bag for a season. Duncan is finally out of jail and Geoff asks if either girl still likes him and they say at least not in that way. Trent is shown to maybe still like Gwen, or at least Cody is in a physical way. The episode is just everyone wondering how Zoey is gonna handle Mal. They also discuss how shocked they are that Mike could be Mal but Harold, being the know-it-all he is, explains that it isn’t MIKE but an alternate personality. Geoff comments on that being heavy, and then Chris comes in and makes his interns put all of the All Stars contestants into balloons. And then Owen is lured away via beans.
I don’t know some of this obviously needs a lot of tweaking but it’s a start. I think it’d be pretty cool if each All Star got an episode focused on them.
