Former TV.com viewers/readers may remember me and my series of "Total Cartoon Island" from TV.com, and while I DID initially like posting my episodes on that website, the site on the "Spongebob Squarepants" forum topics has become a ghost town, and there's no thrill in posting there anymore. So I'm moving operations from TV.com to this website, but just so that potentially new readers/viewers aren't confused, instead of picking up from my newest episode, I feel that I should start at the beginning. Fortunately, in the spirit of "Dragonball GT," I've decided that in a special twist, I will gloss over the first 11 episodes of "Total Cartoon Island" via way of the recap episode of "Dragonball GT" called "A Grand Problem," where the beginning, not as exciting early episodes are condensed and therefore, made more exciting. This is a hybrid brand new/old recap episode of episodes I've already written, featuring the characters that have already left the game show and the challenges that have already occurred. This is an alternate way of presenting the events of Episode 11, as this recap episode will set up the action for all of the future episodes of my series to follow. Also, if I feel the need to, I may tweak some parts of some episodes in order to make certain characters more themselves and not parodies of "Total Drama" characters. Consider calling the following story idea: Episode 11 Redux! Edit Update: Starting after the "Total Cartoon Action" episode, "The Grand Finish! It's Not Over 'Til It's Over!"; the series will be upgraded from being rated General to being rated PG. Also, expect me to update some posts with some story ideas that have been previously lost, but shall now be "Re-discovered," and added back into the continuity with the new PG rating! (NOTE: TV series is rated TV-G, for General Audiences Everywhere for seasons one and two of the "Total Cartoon" series, TV series is rated TV-PG starting with the "Total Cartoon Action" Reunion special.) Edit Update: Topic is now OFFICIALLY called "Total Cartoon Paradise City!"
"The Greatest Game Show On Earth!" Sniz is on the dock and says: "Welcome to a special recap episode of Total Cartoon Island, a cartoon reality game show featuring your favorite Nicktoons, especially characters from "Spongebob Squarepants." This game show started with 22 contestants split into two teams with 11 contestants for each team. Their goal is simple. The teams are competing against each other for a chance to win $150,000 in cash money, and lets face the facts; most of them will probably blow that money in the week. While the goal is simple, the obstacles put between the contestants and their chances to win the $150,000 are anything BUT easy! The two teams have to face hard challenges for invincibility, in order to avoid the elimination ceremony, and from walking the dreaded Dock of Shame. Already we've had 9 contestants eliminated, 2 contestants return, 1 contestant eliminated a SECOND time, and a NEW contestant join after the game had already started! But don't take MY word for it! Listen to the contestants themselves as they reminisce in this upcoming episode of "Total Cartoon Island!"" (Festive music plays and snow falls over the opening sequence for this Christmas episode only.) Camp Nickelodeon is all decorated for Christmas, as there are wreathes, ribbons, holly, angels, LED blinking lights, tinsel, popcorn string, mistletoe, ornaments, and snow as far as the eye can see. Sniz announces over the loudspeaker to wake all the campers up! Sniz says: "Listen up campers! Be sure to dress warm today! It's the season for giving and the giving will start in the cafeteria in 10 minutes! / I'm glad you're all here. I know you campers have some differences with each other, but I'm asking you to put that aside for now. Because this is going to be a happy challenge, especially for a bunch of lucky orphans! You see, Camp Nickelodeon believes in making dreams come true. And today, you'll be making 1,000 dreams come true. In this challenge, all you have to do is wrap up all the gifts in the cafeteria, and sort them out to where they are going. Then using the naughty or nice list, you'll have to determine whether someone deserves a gift, or if it should go to someone else. Whichever team does the best job overall wins invincibility for their team, as well as their favorite Christmas presents as a bonus! The losers will send someone home!"
(Confessional) Ren says: "I was hoping for something special, but nobody sent ME a Christmas card this year! I almost wish that there were no holiday season! I already know I'm not the most popular cartoon around! Why does there have to be a holiday season to emphasize it? It could always be worse, though. I could've ended up like Roger Plotz." (Flashback.) Ren narrates: "It was the first challenge we had. We had to jump off a cliff into shark infested waters, than put together a good hot-tub. My team of the Screaming Cats did an excellent job of working together. But the Killer Beavers were another story. They sucked royally, and were originally considering sending either Treeflower of Chuckie Finster home. Until Roger Plotz opened his big mouth." (Roger: "I just don't get why we lost! I mean, THEIR team is the one with six girls! Everyone knows that boys are better and superior to girls. My dad says I should help out the girls, in case they can't keep up!") Ren says: "Needless to say, THAT comment didn't sit well with the female contestants on the Killer Beavers, and Roger Plotz was the first contestant sent packing." (End flashback.) Ren says: "To make a long story short, I'm sure glad I'm not THAT guy!" / Spongebob says: "I love the winter, because I can catch snowflakes on my tongue, and its fun! One thing that WASN'T fun though, was watching Helga G. Patacki lose." (Flashback.) Spongebob narrates: "After a grueling run and an intense eat-off, Sniz expected us to keep our will strong by NOT falling asleep. I didn't worry, because I thought our team could and WOULD dominate. Thankfully, my friend, my girl pal Sandy Cheeks with her brains and her endless wits, would see to it that our team was going to win no matter HOW tired any of us got. Even after I finally succumbed to slumber, Sandy Cheeks prevailed and we won another challenge. But there was trouble at the Killer Beavers campsite. Helga G. Patacki was freaking out about her cell phone missing, and she accused her teammates of stealing it. But as it turns out, Helga had actually dropped her cell phone at the camp site, and Angelica Pickles found it. While Helga admitted that she made a mistake, it didn't sit well with her teammates, and she became the second contestant eliminated. In the seventh episode, when we all had to face our worst fears, Helga tried to make a comeback as a contestant who had a chance to be reinstated as a prize for the winning team. She tried to intimidate her teammates into making SURE they won, but Reggie lost it for the Killer Beavers, so Helga was sent packing again with my best friend, Patrick Star." (End flashback.)
Spongebob says: "I'll tell you one thing, it was a REAL shame to lose Patrick. I wonder if he's doing well at the place where the Boat of Losers ended up taking him?" / Jimmy says: "The snow needs sugar." / Treeflower says: "I actually think it is much too early. I NEVER eat DECEMBER snowflakes. I always wait until January." / Jimmy says: "Still, I think the snow looks all right to me." / Reggie says: "Incidentally, I know how Ren feels all about this Christmas business, Getting depressed and everything. It happens to me every year. I never get what I really want. I always get a lot of toys, or a bicycle or clothes, or something like that. What I really want is real estate. One thing I DON'T want is to see Daggett again! He was SO annoying, that I'm not even going to BOTHER flashing back to his elimination episode. The only good thing about that episode was that we got a new team-mate in Bunny." / Patty says: "I wonder if I can contact Santa Claus with this Confessional. I think that I'll try it! Dear Santa Claus, how have you been? Did you have a nice summer? How is your wife? I have been EXTRA good this year, so I have a long list of presents that I want. (Pulls out list) Please note the size and color of each gift, and send as many as possible. If it seems too complicated, make it easy on yourself and just send money, preferably in $10's and $20's. All I want is what I've got coming to me, like my boyfriend, Doug Funny. I lost him in the ninth episode after the Expression challenge where Doug was eliminated, and now I want Doug back. All I want is my fair share." / Norbert says: "Let's face it. We all know Christmas is a big commercial racket. It's run by the same people who promote Easter and St. Patrick's Day you know." / Lil says: "Do you know what would make this Christmas perfect? A great big shiny aluminum Christmas tree! Maybe painted pink! That would REALLY bring Christmas close to a person!" / Rocko says: "Australia is one of the few countries I know of where Christmas takes place during the summer. I wonder if that Aang guy from "Avatar, the Last Airbender" celebrates Christmas? He wasn't even on my team, but I think Angelica messed up his talent performance in the talent challenge in the fifth episode, leading to Aang's elimination. I'm keeping my eye on Angelica." / Suzie says: "Personally, I prefer to celebrate Kwanzaa myself. But Christmas is a good holiday to. Chuckie Finster would agree with me if he were still here, until he decided to be an attention hog liar and fake an injury in order to get out of the challenge. I'm glad we eliminated THAT jerk after the Skull Island challenge!" / Sandy says: "I've got a good feeling about this challenge. I think the Screaming Cat's can win this one. Now that Phoebe's Tiki Idol is no longer cursing our team to Phoebe's elimination in the Cooking challenge, there's nothing to stop the Screaming Cats from going all the way to the top!" / Stimpy says: "It's all about the magic! You've just got to believe in yourself and your team. And I believe in all of them! Even Ren! He might have been eliminated once, but I don't think he's going to get eliminated again!"
(Flashback.) Stimpy Narrates: "Both teams had to compete in a baseball challenge. At first, things were looking good. The Killer Beavers had no sport talent save for Reggie and Otto Rocket, while Ren and I were dominating the game. But then Otto busted out a really TRICKY technique, and got their team back in the game! But it ended up being Jimmy Neutron who made the last out, causing our team to lose! Ren lost his patience and snapped at all of our teammates who didn't perform as well as Ren and myself. Of course, Ren realized he messed up and I tried to apologize on his behalf, but it wasn't enough at the time. Ren was voted off, but he finally got the opportunity to redeem himself in the seventh episode when we all faced our worst fears. Ren Hoek was to be the Screaming Cats prize as a contestant we could reinstate should our team win the challenge. Ren had learned to become a calm, nicer dog and was no longer freaking out as he had in that one unfortunate moment. With Ren's help, our team won the challenge, allowing Ren to get back in the game." (End flashback.) Stimpy says: "As long as Ren is on a team with me, I feel as though I can accomplish anything!" (End confessional)
Sniz says: "Starting at 8 AM, you have 10 hours to do all the wrapping and sorting. I hope the best team wins this challenge. On your marks, get set, (Jingle!) go!" And the two teams begin their packing! Ren, Spongebob, Patty, Lil, Rocko, Suzie, Sandy, and Stimpy all turn out to be good gift wrappers, and they make good decisions about who should get the Christmas gifts! Jimmy and Bunny waste time with inventions that do more harm then good when wrapping the Christmas presents, Reggie's clumsiness slows down the wrapping of the Christmas gifts, Otto and Angelica don't even try, Treeflower and Norbert only do okay. So at 6 PM, it's time for Sniz to decide which team has done the better job. Sniz says: "The Screaming Cats, you win! You've wrapped 642 gifts and correctly sorted out gifts for 96% of them! Killer Beavers, you lose since you wrapped only 358 gifts and only correctly sorted out 32% of them. So one of you Killer Beavers will be HOME for Christmas!" / At the bonfire, the Killer Beavers are facing judgment. Sniz says: "In addition to getting a marshmallow, you will also get hot cocoa to enjoy for this Christmas vote-off. I've got 7 campers but only 6 marshmallows. When I call your name, come up to claim a marshmallow. The camper who doesn't receive a marshmallow must immediately go to the Dock of Shame, catch the Boat of Losers, and leave. And you can never come back, EVER! Rocko, Norbert, Treeflower, Reggie, Otto. Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening.
(Dramatic music plays.) Jimmy. Sorry Bunny, it looks like you have to hop on the bunny trail back home." Bunny says: "I would've done SO much better if this was an Easter competition!" And he jumps to the Boat of Losers. Sniz says: "The rest of you are safe, for tonight." (Confessional) Otto says: "I don't wonder what Angelica is going to get for Christmas, I KNOW! She's going to get coal because she's been a MEAN little lady! There's no way that she's NOT on the Naughty list! At least I'm honest with others, so I think there's a good chance I could get something good this year. One can always hope." (End confessional) Episode Notes: The Screaming Cats win, and Bunny from "The Angry Beavers" is eliminated.
