Aftershow II

**The Aftermath show returns with three ex-castmates in the hot seat.**

## Plot

Ellis and her new co-host Bolton greet the viewers and thank them for joining for another episode of the Total Drama Action Aftershow. Ellis tries to introduce the peanut gallery but Bolton cuts her off and introduces them, along with Sammie and Adam who were interviewed in the first after show episode. Sammie is seen playing "chop-sticks" with Flour, and isn't paying attention. On the other hand, Zoey is all buddy buddy with Adam. Bolton asks Kelly what her opinions are on the three eliminations, and Kelly says that she's sad about some eliminations and happy about others. Ellis asks if she cares to elaborate but Kelly says no and takes a picture with her polaroid camera. Ellis says she's glad she didn't need to deal with the disaster challenge because she believes she wouldn't do well, but Bolton is confident stating he'd do incredible. Ellis rolls her eyes and gets cut off by Bolton who says their next segment is called "Pain is grave," which highlights the many times someone has gotten hurt over the course of the season. Ellis grumbles and Bolton puts his arm around her as she glares at him.

The first guest of the episode is Abe, who doesn't get a lot of positive reactions from the audience. Ellis goes over all the stuff that Abe has went through over the course of the season stating "He definitely didn't try to do a new strategy this time!" Abe then waves to the audience who boo him but tells them that they love him. Abe says that at least he wasn't the first boot and Bolton can't help but snicker. Ellis then move onto the new segment "Truth or Tar!" (which went over changes due to Ellis wanting to give the audience a much interesting show). Bolton tells Ellis that she's being a bit much, but Ellis hushes him. Ellis goes on and asks Abe if he enjoyed his time on the show. Abe shakes his head, but the bucket lowers a tiny bit. Ellis encourages him to answer honestly, but Abe just rolls his eyes.

Ellis goes on and tries to make Abe fib, but Abe won't talk. Bolton tells Ellis she's trying to hard but Ellis says "You're the one to talk!" Bolton then explains to Abe that he has a fan on a live webcam that wants to ask him a question. A girl with the name Irene begins to speak and asks Abe what his favorite KPOP groups are. Abe says he loved Fromis\_9 and LOONA saying that he would do anything for their merchandise. Ellis grins at this and tells Abe that he's in luck and hands out a bunch of KPOP merchandise at the peanut gallery and audience. Abe asks Ellis if he can have some but she says only if he plays truth or tar. Abe rolls his eyes and reluctantly agrees, but only if this can be one question and if he can stop his interview so he can listen to KPOP. Ellis says "yes" and asks Abe if he feels bad for the way he treats people. Abe says "no" but the bucket of tar spills over, and narrowly misses Abe. Abe scoffs and says he's done with the interview.

After commercial break and a bit of arguing, Bolton brings out the next guest which is Ciande. Ciande gets a very loud applause which causes Ellis to get a bit heated and ask Ciande if she's been getting a ton of following. Ciande nods her head and Bolton shows a clip of Ciande's two biggest supporters. In the clip is King and Sammie who say they love her and have made a fan-club for her. King says that he loved how nice he was to her when his team turned on him, and Sammie tells all the good moments that she's had with Ciande, until Ellis turns it off early, saying that it's "boring." Ellis then introduces "truth or tar" to Ciande, and asks her a question. "Did you feel any type of way when you saw Jaylen and Stella kissing?" The audience turns towards Rylee, who looks a bit flushed and flustered. "H-h-he did what?!" Ciande goes over to Rylee and comforts her but Rylee takes Ciande's hand off of her. Rylee keeps her composure and says that it was probably just for a challenge. Ciande and Adam give each other glances but don't say anything. Bolton keeps the show in check however when he asks Ciande if she's released any type of fashions since she's got back and Ciande nods. Boltons asks what they'll be and she says it'll be based around Total Drama.

"But back to the topic at hand..." Ellis says. "Didn't you and Adam believe that Stella and Jaylen were going through something together?" Ciande tells Ellis that she's done talking about it as Rylee starts to sniffle, and gets comforted by Hugo. Ciande begins to explain that they have to stop this topic and she even asks Ellis a question about if she was loved enough as a child, to which she says "yes" but a bunch of tar is dropped onto her. Ellis scoffs stating it was only for the contestants they were interviewing and begins to gag. Bolton giggles to himself and tells Ciande that she is an iconic contestant on the series and asks her if she'd ever return. Ciande says "maybe" but seems a bit ominous to this. She says she wants to focus on her fashions but would always be open to participate. She then goes off topic a bit and tells Rylee that she can't focus on whats going on, on the TV because she isn't there, and maybe she just misjudged Stella's and Jaylen's interactions. Rylee sighs and thanks Ciande as the audience claps for her.

Back from getting cleaned up, Ellis says that the next person they'll be interviewing is Lucas, who they show a montage of and the camera then focuses on Adam who smirks. Lucas comes out with some soda, which is briskly taken away by Chef stating "No drinks or food allowed!" Lucas sighs and sits down next to Ciande and Abe. Bolton asks Lucas what is was like competing against Adam this time and Lucas says "It was fun, but I wish we were on the same team! But hey, now we'll have a ton of time together now!" Ciande nudges Lucas a bit, and giggles whilst Lucas rolls his eyes playfully. Ellis says that she believed Lucas to be a bit boring and wonders why he has so many fans but states that his relationship with Adam is kind of cute. Bolton looks at her and says "you're actually being nice?!" Ellis then kicks him in the balls, and tells him to quiet down. Lucas uncomfortably rubs his shoulder, and Adam begins to speak up stating that he's glad he's met Lucas. Ellis says this isn't Adam's interview anymore, but Adam goes on until Ellis tells Chef to make him be quiet.

Bolton then asks an intern to bring out all of the fan-mail for Lucas, surpassing Ellis' fan-mail. Ellis rolls her eyes and asks Lucas what his favorite part of the season was. Lucas says it was just competing that was fun for him, even if he did get a bit competitive. "Where did you go wrong?" Ellis questions. Lucas explains how he should've listened to George's judgement and he probably would've still been in the game. Bolton then says that Lucas has a question from a fan, who asks "Lucas, how were you able to be so open about being gay? Do you have any advice on how to come out?" Lucas smiles and says that he's always been openly gay and even if he was bullied for it, he wouldn't let the bullies bring him down completely. He then goes on to say that "Be comfortable on how many people you tell, and make sure you're ready!" Bolton smiles and says that's great advice. Bolton then goes on and thanks the audience for tuning into another episode of the Total Drama Action Aftershow and wishes the audience goodnight!
