Ridonculous Race, and solely Ridonculous Race, is scripted. It's even advertised as such, leaning more into the TV show of reality TV show.

Basically an actor au, but with only this one season. All the other ones were real.

And that's why the characterisation of (mainly) Noah and Owen and even Geoff is a bit off, as well as the ages adding complications to the TD timeline and their lack of aging with other characters in other seasons at the same age!

And why the season feels completely different to the other ones. As well as the challenges being a lot safer, a larger age range of contestants, and a different host. It's just one of those ones where they use their actual names despite playing characters and despite being marketed at a competition, it's also clearly stated that it's a 'Total Drama Show'.

It's basically amateur acting! A parody of the previous Total Drama seasons that Noah and Geof applied to (without knowing the other did) purely to piss Chris off and Owen and Brody did because their friends did!

Chris despises the show.

Omg I'm so delusional smart!!!

So all of the contestants there are in a GC together and like, behind the scenes they're actually all friends. Noah and Kitty totally game together behind the scenes.

This also leaves shipping completely open! Were Noah and Emma scripted lovers who actually fell for each other or did they just become best friends through it and the whole thing is now a running joke between them? Are Brody and Geoff secretly together or just weirdly close? Is Nowen a thing, or is Noah just absolutely single and shipped with everyone? Or is Noah in a relationship/pining for whoever you ship him with? Are any of the romantic relationships in the show actually real or do a couple of them screw around a bit behind the scenes?

Of course, since this is me, I'm going to insert a bit of FemNoah into this. Basically Owen knows at this point because of all the shows they've been on, and she told him after his elimination in World Tour. Geoff finds out here, and the other contestants on RR know since technically she can just take her wig off when the cameras are off and it wouldn't affect her playing 'Noah' unlike Total Drama.

Idk, it'd also be pretty funny if the actual Total Drama contestants find out about Neha=Noah solely because of the press tour for Ridonculous Race and all of the interviews which the six are often paired up. Wait, no. There's a documentary released about the making and the behind the scenes of the show like a year or two later and Geoff and Owen invites everyone to the premier viewing.

Stupid fucking fa
