Chapter Text

The episode begins with a shot of a T shaped dock on the ocean. There are trees on bits of land in the background. A man in his thirties pops onto the dock with a big smile. His hair is long, black and seems to be held in place by excessive amounts of hair gel. His eyes are small and grey and his chin holds a large cleft with a bit of stubble. He wears a light blue shirt with a couple of pockets and beige shorts.

"Yo! We're coming at you live from camp Wawanakwa, somewhere in Muskoka, Ontario. I'm your host Chris McClain. Dropping season one of the hottest new reality show on television. Right now!"

The host proceeds down the dock as he begins to explain the show's premise.

"Here's the deal, 22 campers have signed up to spend eight 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 three days one team will either win a reward or watch one of their team members walk down the dock of shame," A sign with a picture of an out of shape boat on it in dropped next to him. "Take a ride on the loser boat and leave total drama island for good."

The scene transitions and we now see Chris standing in front of a campfire area with eleven stumps in two parallel rows. An oil drum is in front of them as though it were a podium. It is within a clearing surrounded by tall rocks.

"Their fate will be decided here at the dramatic campfire ceremonies where each week all but one camper will receive a marshmallow." He picks up a marshmallow on a stick and eats it before throwing it behind him. "In the end only one will be left standing and will be rewarded" at this he holds up a bunch of magazines." with cheesy tabloid fame and a small fortune "at this he holds up a chest full of valuables, "which let's face it they'll probably blow in a week."

"To survive, they'll have to battle black flies, grizzly bears," a clip of a bear angrily swatting flies is shown, "Disgusting camp food," A plate of maggots, including an abnormally large one,is shown. " and each other." The scene transitions to show a couple of cameras around the camp some in very strange places. "Every moment will be caught on one of the hundreds of cameras situated all over the camp."

We flash back to the dock. "Who will crumble under the pressure find out here on Total! Drama! island!"

(intro)

We return to the dock of shame to see Chris standing in the middle of it waiting. "Welcome back to total drama island. All right, it's time to meet our first eleven campers." The shot switched to a close up of Chris. "We told them they'd all be staying at a five-star resort, so if they seem a bit TO'd that's probably why."

The first arrival was a teen posing for a selfie as she prepared to disembark. She had dark blue hair in pigtails tied with a red ribbon, black eyes and an Asian skin tone. She wore a red long sleeve shirt over a white button up shirt, a blue skirt, Ombre socks and heels. After finishing she ran to Chris, beaming. "Hey Kitty what's up?" Chris greeted from off screen

"Oh my gosh I can't believe I'm here!" The selfie lover exclaimed. "You must be Chris our host! Can I get a selfie with you?" She asked holding up her phone.

"Of course Kitty." Chris agreed, never one to pass up the chance to stroke his ego.

Next a masculine girl with strawberry blonde hair stepped on the dock. She wore a dark gray hoodie and slightly lighter sweatpants. She scowled as she took in her surroundings. "Jo," Chris acknowledged.

"Nice dump you got Chris." Jo snarked.

"I thought it was." The host cheekily replied

"Whatever, I'll win wherever we have the contest." Jo bragged as she examined Kitty. "You don't look tough."

"Hey I'm Kitty." The selfie lover greeted, holding out her hand for a high five."I'm here to compete not make friends." Jo said shortly.

The next person to step onto the dock was a young man. He was short for a male and his skin brown. He wore a red sweater vest, over an untucked blue button up, over a white long sleeved shirt, and a pair of khaki's. Chris grinned. "Noah."

"You got my memo about my life threatening allergies?" The cynic asked sardonically.

Chris held up a finger. "I'm sure someone did." The host replied uncaringly. If Noah was worried he didn't show it.

"Good is this where we're staying?" Noah continued as he took in the surrounding area. His tone implied that he didn't really care.

"No its a housewarming party and you're the guest of honor." Jo scoffed, clearly having problems with the small boy's attitude

Noah rolled his eyes. "Nice outfit. Where'd you come from, a training montage?"

Jo grabbed Noah's shirt. "Yeah I was training to beat up mouthy dweebs. You wanna see how good I've gotten?"

Noah's face didn't change from its deadpan expression despite the threat. "No thank you, can I have my shirt back now?" Jo released his shirt "Thanks."

The scene transitioned over to a boat as an upbeat tune played through the air. On the boat, there was a young man who was jamming out to music. He had blonde hair, blue eyes and a prominent chin. He wore a cowboy hat with a pink button up shirt worn open, blue shorts and a pair of sandals.

"Yo! Chris McLain, what's up man! It's an honor to meet you man." He said giving Chris a fist bump.

"The Geoff-ster" Chris greeted back. "Welcome to the island man."

"Thanks man." The party dude gave the host a high five as he joined the other three contestants."What's up?" He asked the group.

"Just stay out of my way and we'll get on just fine." Jo replied not really answering the question. Meanwhile Noah remained silent.

"I'm doing great!" Kitty replied earnestly. The party dude smiled glad he wasn't the only friendly person.

A chorus of birds signaled the next contestant. A pale girl with black hair and eyes stood at the bow. Said birds are flying around her as she sang with them. She looked like she'd just come from a fairytale. She wore a pink Princess dress with a matching bow, long pale pink gloves, and flats. "Hey Ella." The host greeted.

"Hello Chris! I'm so happy to be here. Thanks for accepting me! Oh my this is..." Ella trailed as she took in her surroundings, a wide eyed look on her face.

"Camp Wawanakwa, your home for the next eight weeks!" Chris told her a smirk on his face as he waited for her disappointed reply.

"It's wonderful!" The princess wannabe beamed.

"Say what?" Chris asked in disbelief.

"Don't get me wrong the five star resort looked lovely." Ella explained. "But this is so close to nature! The birds, the trees, the fresh air. It's all so beautiful I feel like singing!" She opened her mouth to sing but Chris cut her off. "We're on a schedule."

On the next boat there was a young man who was currently head banging to the music which was coming from a speaker. He had a green Mohawk, a shirt with a skull on it, and low hanging jeans. He had a sharp well defined face, a unibrow, several piercings, and a scowl. "Duncan." Duncan walked up to Chris and held up a fist as if to threaten him.

"I don't like surprises."The delinquent growled.

Chris had a confident look on his face. "Yeah your parole officer mentioned that, he also said I could call him any time, have you taken back to juvie."

Duncan sniffed, "Okay then." As he passed by Kitty he said, "Meet you by the campfire gorgeous," to which the selfie lover smirked.

The music grew devious as next boat arrived. A ginger with a smirk stepped on the dock. He wore a white wife beater with pit stains, jeans, and brown shoes. "Scott welcome," Chris said casually.

"This is the place?" The ginger said as he took in the camp."It's better than at home." Scott smirked confidently. He walked to the other contestants, examining them.

"You don't look too tough." He sneered, clearly trying to goad the others on.

"Why don't you say that to my face." Duncan growled, a fist held up threateningly.

"I just did." The two stared at each other Scott smirked, while Duncan glared. Before things could escalate, everyone's attention was grabbed by the sound of another boat. This time the competitor was water skiing. He was tall, with brown hair , eyes of the same color, and a distinctly goatish face. He wore a red tracksuit. "Tyler!"

As the boat headed for the docks, he somehow tripped on water, flew through the air past the campers and onto the dock, straight into the luggage pile. Everyone gasped as a suitcase flew into the air and into the water splashing Jo. "Wicked wipeout dude!" Chris said with a grin. Tyler gave a thumbs up showing he was okay.

Chris was laughing at Jo's misfortune, when he shuddered upon hearing a soft wheeze behind him. "Welcome to camp Harold." The host said after he got his barings.

The camper in question was a lanky teen with orange hair, and thick glasses with green wore a blue T-shirt with a planet on it, green jeans and tennis shoes that seem too large for him. He was carrying a keyboard.

Harold glanced around the camp. "So you mean this show is at a crappy summer camp and not on some big stage or something?"

"That's right Harold." Chris said

"Yes! That's so much more favorable to my skills." The nerd cheered as he joined the rest of the group ;some stared at his enthusiasm.

The next boat dropped off a guy holding a guitar. he had chin length black hair and green eyes. He wore a yellow shirt with a black handprint, over a long sleeved camo shirt, nice black jeans held up by a brown belt, and sneakers. "Our ninth contestant, Trent!" Chris introduced.

"He's the tenth contestant." Noah corrected. Chris ignored him.

"Hey good to meet you man. Saw you on that figure skating show, nice moves." Trent greeted extending a fist.

Chris fist bumped him. "Thanks man I knew I rocked that show!"

"I saw that!" Kitty said excitedly. "One of them dropped their partner on her head! So they got immunity that week."

"Lucky." Said Harold. "I hope I get dropped on my head!"

"I'm sure Duncan could arrange that." Noah smirked.

Trent looked around the camp. "So this is it?" He looked at the campers, Jo glaring at everyone, Noah with his deadpan expression, and Harold, picking his nose. "Alright then."

The next camper was a girl with white blonde hair in a high ponytail, light blue eyes, and a blank expression. She wore a grey-blue T-shirt over a long sleeved dark grey shirt and a plaid skirt in matching shades of blue and grey.

"Xena, How's it going?" Chris asked.

Xena inclined her head. "It is going adequately. As I expected you were lying on the application. I presume this is where we will be staying?" Xena asked,a brow raised.

"Yep." Chris replied simply.

"Very well." The over logical thinker merely walked down the dock and stood amongst the others.

Chris startled as he noticed a girl staring blankly at him. She had unnaturally pale skin, black and white hair and red eyes. Her eyes were heavily lined in red and black, she wore black lipstick, and had a bat tattoo on her collar. She wore red sleeveless dress with a matching collar and gloves, Fishnet stockings, and black boots. "Crimson our goth chick. " Chris explained.

Crimson remained eerily silent for a few moments, unblinking. "Whatever." She droned joining the group.

People began to gag as the next boat arrived. Upon it was a girl with a fake tan, poofy dark brown hair, and heavy make up. She wore a magenta tube top, light blue jeans, and black wedges with magenta accents. She was spraying her hair, and the resulting cloud was making it hard to breathe. "Aw yeah, three more coats oughta do it." She said with an accent.

"Anne Maria our jersey shore reject." Chris managed to cough out.

"Who are you calling a reject?" Anne Maria snapped spraying the host.

"Just go to the other end of the dock." Chris said irritably. Anne Maria did so, the other contestants giving her a wide berth.

It was then everyone heard a bossy voice yell. "Hurry up with my bags Samey! You're so lazy!" The camera panned over to two twins, both with blonde hair, blue eyes, red lipstick and red cheerleader outfits. One of the girls was yelling at the other. She had a mole on her cheek and was scowling at her sister. The other, still trying to get off the boat, was carrying three heavy looking bags and had an apologetic expression on her face.

"Sorry Amy they're a little heavy." The other twin replied meekly.

"No one wants to hear your complaining Samey. Just do your job." Amy stalked into the crowd as her sister struggled. To Samey's surprise she felt a bag being lifted.

"Hey you look like you could use some help." Trent smiled kindly at her.

"Thanks." Samey whispered with a smile. In the background Amy glared.

The next contestant was thrown into the dock, he yelled after the boat. " You will rue the day you crossed me!"

"Max" Chris introduced. Max was a short pudgy boy with a purple bowl cut and black eyes. He wore a gray jacket, matching pants and white shoes.

"This does not look like a five star resort! Evil does not take kindly to such trickery!" Max ranted.

"Yeah sure but I have this thing called a contract. So you can't do anything." Chris smirked, holding up a copy of said contract.

"Curses," The 'evil' man replied glaring at the contract. "You may have won the battle Chris but evil shall win the war!" The young man yelled with a raised fist. The other contestants backed away from where he stood. Max smirked. "Well it seems some of you fear me, and my evilosity."

"Yeah," Scott whispered. "His annoying 'evilosity'."

The next boat dropped off a camper with auburn hair in braids, brown eyes, white skin, and a face shaped like a strawberry. She wore a maroon turtleneck, a mid length maroon and black tartan skirt, knee length black socks, and maroon flats. She was reading a book and did not seem to have noticed she had stepped onto the dock.

"Amber welcome." Chris greeted, his smile falling as he received no response. "Amber." He repeated irritably. She merely turned the page. Fed up Chris went to take the book from her, immediately getting her attention.

"What?" She sighed clearly not interested.

"Hey, I'm Chris host of Total Drama the show you signed up for?" Chris deadpanned his brow furrowed.

"Right, sorry but compared to the enigma of Bram Stoker's Dracula this is a serious downgrade." With that she joined the group, still reading.

"I can't believe I'm here!" A voice proclaimed, signaling the arrival of another contestant. A skinny, black boy with brown hair, black eyes, and glasses. He wore a red hoodie, orange shorts, white socks with three stripes, and orange sneakers. "Bubble boy Camron." Chris smirked.

"A real dock, people besides my mother, the ocean!" Camron continued rushed toward them before tripping on nothing and falling to the dock. Several people winced but Camron beamed. "A real splinter!"

"Okay that's just weird." Jo scoffed a few others nodded in agreement.

The next contestant jumped off his boat with a shout. He was a tall, muscular black man with brown hair, brown eyes and an earring. He wore a blue and yellow football jersey with a one, green shorts, and blue sneakers. "Lightning how's it going?"

"It's going great now that Lightning is here!" The athlete said as he enthusiastically gave the host a fist bump. He approached the group with a swagger in his step. "You might as well give up now cause now that Lightning is here none of have a chance."

"Over confident much?" Jo retorted. rolling her eyes.

"Hello pot, meet kettle." Noah deadpanned.

"It's not overconfidence if it's true." Jo defended. Noah rolled his eyes.

A black girl with black hair, black eyes, and squared glasses stepped delicately onto the dock. She wore an orange blouse, gray skirt, cream long socks and brown flats. "Ellody." Chris introduced simply.

"Are you aware of the subpar condition of this dock?" Ellody questioned.

"Yep" Chris responded.

"So you know you're putting your contestants in danger?" Ellody questioned, a confused look on her face.

Chris smirked sadistically. "Yep."

Although taken aback Ellody must have known arguing wouldn't do anything as she did not push the point.

The next arrival was a male with long brown hair, brown skin suggesting Spanish origin, narrow green eyes, a little stubble and a muscular physique. He wore a red button up over a white undershirt, a bull necklace, grey jeans and boots. "Alejandro, our Spainish heartthrob." Chris introduced a smirk on his face.

"You flatter me." The Spainard responded with a bow. Alejandro approached the group of contestants. "It is a pleasure to meet you all." He said smoothly. Many of the girls giggled in response, some guys smiled, and Jo rolled her eyes. The Spaniard slipped into the crowd where Anne Maria greeted him. "You are looking fine hot stuff. "

"So is that everyone?" Chris wondred.

"If you were actually paying attention to the number of contestants, you'd know there's one more." Noah snarked.

"Did you know your aura is predominantly gray?" A low voice stated. Noah's eyes widened in surprise. The rest of the group was startled as they saw a girl now sitting Indian style by Noah. No one had seen her get here.

"Dawn where's your boat?" Chris asked in confusion.

"I sent the driver home; I did not want to trouble him." Dawn said softly. Dawn was very short with long white blonde hair, blue eyes and a serene expression. She wore a forest green jumper, grey mini skirt, lavender leggings and grey shoes.

"Well that's everyone." The host confirmed. "First things first. We need a picture of the cast for promotional purposes."

"Then we'd better get to shore. We're liable to fall in considering the state of this dock." Ellody mentioned.

Chris sighed "Fine everyone on the shore next to the dock then."

The group of teens did as they were instructed. Chris hopped onto a nearby boat camera in hand. The campers stood in three rows, seven on the bottom, nine in the middle and six on the top.

The bottom row consisted of Camron, Max, Ella and Dawn on the far left. They were all sitting. Harold and Ellody were in the middle both on their knees. This was followed by Amy and Sammy sitting back to back on the far right.

The middle row began with Xena, and Jo on the far left. Crimson, Noah and Trent stood in the middle. Kitty, Alejandro, and Amber stood on the far right with the brunette holding onto the Spainard's arm.

The back row started with Scott, followed by Lightning, who was flexing his muscles, Tyler, Duncan, Geoff, and Anne Maria. Who was thankfully done spraying her hair.

Chris stood at the bow of the ship holding up a camera. " Okay, one, two, wait." Chris paused as those who were smiling stopped. "Oops lens cap. Okay hold the pose! Wait!" He said stopping again. "Card's full."

"Hurry up I don't have all day!" Anne Marie said an annoyed look on her face.

"Okay think I've got it this time. Say Wawanakawa!"

"Wawanakawa!" The group said as the host took the picture.

"Perfect meet up at the campfire in ten." Chris ordered.

\

The scene flashes to the campfire pit, where there are eleven log seats. Six in back five in the front. Amy,Samey, Ella, Dawn, and Ellody sat in the front row of logs with Jo, Trent, and Lightning amongst them. The back seats held Noah, Tyler, Harold, Cameron, Max, and a still reading Amber. The rest of the campers, Scott, Duncan, Xena, Crimson, Alejandro, Geoff, Kitty, and Anne Maria were standing.

"This is Camp Wawanakwa, your home for the next eight weeks!" Chris began. "The campers sitting around you will be your cabin mates, your competition, and maybe even your friends, ya dig?" The camera cut to shots of a few groups of campers during the exposition. "The camper who manages to stay on 'Total Drama Island' the longest, without getting voted off, will win one-hundred-thousand dollars!" The music became triumphant for a moment as the prize was announced.

"What will the sleeping arrangements be because I'd like to request a bunk under hot stuff." Anne Marie said gesturing to Alejandro.

"They aren't co-ed are they?" Samey asked timidly.

"Why Samey wanna peep on the boys?" Amy smirked.

"No..." The younger twin trailed.

"Nope! The girls get one side of each cabin and the boys get the other." Chris said reassuringly.

"Why did I sign up for this again?" Noah groused as if realizing the people he'd be stuck with.

"Aw come on guys it'll be fun." Kitty grinned, placing a hand on Noah and Tyler's shoulders.

"At least we don't have to sleep with her." Tyler replied as the camera panned to Jo, who was currently threatening Harold.

" Here's the deal, " Chris began as the camera focused on him. "We're gonna split you into two teams. if I call you name go stand over there." He said pointing to a place off camera. The view switched to show the reaction of each of the campers called as they moved to the assigned place.

"Jo, Trent, Ella, Camron, Max, Amy, Samey, Noah, Amber, Tyler and Crimson" The host called out.

"Actually my name is Sammy." Sammy protested.

"Amy Said everyone calls you Samey, so you're Samey." Chris smirked.

Sammy looked about to argue but seemed to resign herself. The camera focuses on Chris. He held a piece of rolled green fabric in his hand. "From this moment on you are known as," the host threw the fabric at the group, as it unrolled it was revealed to be a tapestry with a poorly stitched emblem in the center. It was a green gopher in a fighting stance within a cream colored circle. "The Screaming Gophers!"

"Oh the gopher what a majestic creature!" Ella beamed as she examined the team logo.

"And that leaves," The camera cut to each camper as their name was announced. "Alejandro, Kitty, Geoff, Xena, Scott, Ellody, Lightning, Dawn, Duncan, Harold, and Anne Maria."

"You guys are officially known as," The salmon fabric unfurled to reveal their own emblem, which was also poorly stitched into its center. It was a cobalt blue fish with an angry look on its face within a green circle. "The Killer Bass!"

"It's awesome, it's like amazing," Harold said.

"Alright campers! You and your team will be on camera in all public areas during this competition." The screen fills with static as a way of transition, when it clears we see Chris is in a wooden outhouse. A low shelf holds an extra roll of toilet paper. A skull is carved to it's right, and a roll of fly paper already covered in flies is in the upper right corner. Despite this there are still several flies flying around. "You will also be able to share your innermost thoughts on tape with video diaries, anytime you want. Let the audience know what you're really thinking." He winked. "Or, just get something off your chest!" More static leads to the first confessionals of the series.

(Confessional)

Sammy: It was nice of Trent to help me, but I don't think Amy liked it.

Static

Amy: Excuse me, the hot guy with the guitar is supposed to go for me! Like hello.

Static

Ella: Hello everyone I have a song for you " (She opens her mouth to sing but is cut off.)

Static

Xena: The competition doesn't seem tough, and the accommodations while sparse should be enough to sustain me. All in all more than I was expecting.

Static

The confession cut to a view of Chris from behind the campers. "Alright any questions?" The amount of time provided was not enough to ask any questions and it was likely Chris knew this. "Good! Now let's find your cabins!"

\

Shortly after we find ourselves in front of two run down cabins offset from each other. Both were raised on cement blocks, had slanted roofs with patchy tiling, and a small chimney. A roofed porch extended from the front, leading to two doors with two windows in the middle. The host stepped into view gesturing towards the cabins in turn. "Gophers, you're in the east cabin, Bass, you're in the west."

The door to one the cabins opens revealing the inside. Three bunk beds surrounded a threadbare circular rug. It's orange colors were faded from the sun, ironically, that was what the rug depicted.

"Ugh bunk beds, this is so summer camp." Amy complained as the camera switched to a side view of her entering the cabin. A pile of wood sat below one of the windows, there was a stove and few coat hooks, followed by a mirror and one singular dresser upon which an unlit lamp sat.

"Really? I hadn't noticed.." Jo snarked, as she carried her suitcase in.

"No one cares what you think. Jockette, shut up while you still have some dignity!" The older twin retorted.

"Why don't you make me loser." Jo responded getting in her face.

"You did not call me a loser!" Amy practically shrieked. two glared at each other in anger.

As the two continued to argue, Amber had taken a bottom bunk while Crimson took a top bunk on a second bed. Upon noticing this, Amy and Jo both rushed to get a place on the remaining bed. Unfortunately for them, Ella got there first, taking the top bunk for herself.

"Oh this is going to be just like the princess and the pea, except they'll be a person under me instead of a pea, and there's only one mattress under me." Ella beamed.

"For the record I blame you." Jo deadpanned.

The camera cut outside as Anne Maria approached Chris. "Where the mirrors at? Being this gorgeous takes work." She asked gesturing to herself.

The camera zoomed in on Chris' face."There's some in the communal bathrooms, just across the way." Chris replied as the camera cut to a shot of the mentioned building.

"The commu-what?" The jersey reject asked in a demanding tone.

"It means we are sharing the facilities." Xena responded.

As Anne Marie complained about needing time. The view shifted to the doorway of the boy's side of the Gopher cabin. Noah, Trent, and Max watched with varying levels of interest.

"Clearly our team is superior. We shall crush them! Right evil minions?" Max proclaimed while Noah rolled his eyes and Trent backed away slowly.

The Camera cut to Geoff on the porch of the Bass cabin as Kitty entered her section. "hey Chris are there any chaperones at this camp." Geoff asked.

"You're all sixteen," the host said as he glanced around. "As old as a C.I.T at a normal summer camp." He shrugged. " So other than myself you'll be unsupervised." He checked his watch." You'll have half an hour to unpack and meet me at the mess hall. Starting now."

"Nice." Geoff cheered. The view switched from him to Jo and Tyler outside the Gopher cabin. Then to Kitty, Harold and Anne Maria outside the bass cabin as a shrill scream pierced the air. Finally to a shot of the campers looking into the boy's side of the Gopher cabin.

"What's the dwarf screaming about?" Anne Maria asked. As camera switched to Max. He stood on a stool his leg in the air as he cringed away from the abomination before him. It was a cockroach. "I do not like such creatures!"

"Really? It's just a roach." Jo snarked as the camera shifted to floor level. she began to try to stomp on the cockroach. This led to others following her lead, including Harold, Tyler, and Kitty. The roach dodged them all. Duncan showed up in the doorway an axe raised and preparing to strike. Suddenly a shrill scream went through the air.

"DON'T YOU DARE HURT THAT INNOCENT CREATURE!" Dawn screamed a panicked look in her eyes. While everyone was startled, mostly from idea that anyone would want to save a roach, Ella walked in and picked it up.

"Why hello little friend you must be lost. I shall take you outside." Ella left as quickly as she came leaving everyone staring in disbelief.

\

We transition to a conventional mess hall. Two long wooden tables with stump seats sat parallel to each other. Between the tables lay a green rectangular rug off center to the right. Against the back wall there was a white stone fire place. A large pair of antlers had been mounted on the chimney, lopsided. At the far right was a counter that led to the kitchen.

The man behind the counter was a very tall, burly black man. He wore a chef's hat, cream shirt with the sleeves rolled up and an apron. The rest of his body was obscured by the counter. "Listen up! I serve it three times a day, and you will eat it three times a day. So grab your plate get your food and sit your butts down now!"

"Will we be getting the main food groups?" Ellody asked. "As contestants, we must preform at our top physical and mental prowess, therefore it is imperative we maintain a nutritional diet." The camera switched to show Chef placing a squirming piece of mystery meat on her bun. She and Harold took their finished trays. The shot changed to an extreme close up of Chef's left eye.

"Yeah cause I get hypoglycemic real bad if I don't get enough sugar." Harold stated. The Chef's eye twitched in response.

"You'll get a whole lot of SHUT THE HECK UP!" Chef said, yelling into his face. The two quickly backed down.

As Noah retrieved his tray he looked at his food anxiously. "Is it just me, or is it moving?

Tyler stared at his own food. "It's not you. Do we have to eat this?"

"You can starve if you want! Now get out of my line goat boy!" Chef yelled.

Chef motioned to Noah. "Scrawny kid give me your plate!" Noah handed his tray to Chef who put an extra scoop on his "burger." It went back up and clung to the spoon and Chef shook it off again. Noah walked away looking slightly disturbed.

"This sucks, am I right?" Anne Maria asked. Crimson. just stared then walked away. "Whatever I didn't wanna talk to you anyway."

Amy and Xena stood at the counter. The camera cut to a close up of Amy's 'burger'. " Does this have any gluten in it? I'm like so over gluten. " Amy said as the camera showed a fly flying by chef's head, he grabbed it and killed it swiftly.

"I don't believe that will be an issue." Xena said looking at the tray with an expression of mild disgust.

(confessional)

Xena: That may be an issue, my brain requires proper nutrition to function and it is clear that I won't receive that here.

Static

Flash to everyone sitting at their tables and looking at their "food" like it might grow legs and walk away. The Bass sat on the table at the far side of the mess hall, while the Gophers sat near the door. Someone's meat and bun is literally crawling away.

"Welcome to the main lodge." Chris said as the camera focused on him.

"Yo dude, can we order a pizza?" Geoff asked. A clever flew through the air almost hitting Geoff. The camera pans to show chef holding a knife and looking like he might throw that too.

"Whoa it's cool G! Brown slop is cool!" Geoff apologized to the angry Chef. "Right guys?"

"Your first challenge-" the host began as the camera focused back on him.

"You mean eating this wasn't our first challenge?" Noah interrupted, causing a few laughs.

"As I was saying before I was so rudely interrupted." The host continued as he turned to leave. " Your first challenge will be in one hour."

"What do think the first challenge will be?" Kitty asked.

"Come on it's our first challenge how hard can it be." Geoff said

We flash to the contestants standing on top of a very tall cliff and looking down. All of them are in their swimsuits. The camera zoomed out twice, each one punctuated by a spike in background music.

"Oh shit!" Geoff exclaimed.

Chapter Text

The episode begins with a distance shot of Chris on the dock. "Last time, on Total Drama Island!" A montage of clips from the previous episode are shown. They begin with the campers at the fire pit, to Max screaming at a cockroach, to chef behind the counter, and end with Ella picking up the roach. . "Twenty-two campers have signed up to spend eight weeks right here at this crummy old summer camp, then have to face the judgment of their fellow campers."

We flash back to the end of the last episode.

"Oh come on its our first challenge how hard can it be?" Geoff says once again. We see the campers on a cliff as the camera zooms away to show its large size, while dramatic music plays in the background.

"Oh shit!" He exclaimed.

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The camera pans over the campers standing on the cliff, each of them had changed into their swimwear. "Okay," Chris began as the camera panned to him. A large crate with a yellow chicken in a red square is to the host's immediate left. " Today's challenge is threefold; your first challenge is to jump off this 1,000-foot-high cliff into the waters below." Chris said

"Excuse me?" Ellody asked in disbelief.

"We're doing what!" Anne Maria seemed to finish.

Chris continued ignoring the comments. "If you look below you'll see two target zones." The camera switched to a shot of the water below from was a large semi circle of buoys with a far smaller circle inside. " The larger circle is the part of the lake we have stocked with" a few dorsal fins appear in the water." psychotic man eating sharks." Two of the sharks jump one after another as if to show the host wasn't bluffing. Several shots of campers looking into the dangerous waters below were shown."The smaller circle is your target which we're pretty sure is shark free."

"Pretty sure?" Sammy said with a gulp. The camera cut back to Chris who ignored her and continued to explain the challenge.

"For every member of your team that jumps and survives you will get a crate of supplies." The camera quick pans to show two stacks of crates on the beach below." Inside each of these creates are the supplies you will need to complete the second part of the challenge, building a hot tub." The scene changes to a still image of a properly made hot tub as a jingle is played. "The team that makes the best hot tub will have a wicked hot tub party tonight." Chris said as he pointed towards the camera.

The screen flashes to the dock of shame as somewhat sinister music plays.. "The losing team will have to vote someone off and watch them walk down the dock of shame, and leave total drama island for good." The camera cuts to Chris once again. "Let's see killer bass who wants to go first?"

Ellody interrupted the challenge. "Excuse me Chris, but if that cliff is 1,000 feet high, we will perish."

Chris frowned. "It's supposed to be challenging."

Harold joined in, "No Chris she means we'll literally die! I mean gosh!"

Xena stepped between the two and interjected. "I believe our host in engaging in a manner of speech known as exaggerating. It is commonly used to emphasize a point. In this case it is being used as an intimidation tactic."

At this Chris gave a sigh of exasperation. "Will one of you just jump already!"

Kitty peered over the edge of the cliff. "So who wants to go first?" A cricket sound effect played as the camera panned over everyone.

Geoff spoke up. "Hey don't sweat it guys. I hear these shows make the interns do the stunt first to make sure it's survivable."

A ripple effect takes the screen indicating a flashback. Chris and Chef are at the top of the cliff, the latter is wearing an orange floatie and purple swim trunks."We need to test the stunts first." Chris told Chef. "You know that."

"Do I look like an intern?" the cook asked with a glare.

"No, but the ones we had are all in the hospital," the host said as the camera cut to him. "Come on just jump it, you big chicken. Bawk bawk!"

"I don't get paid enough for this man." Chef said. He jumped screaming all the way down, He landed outside the safe zone. "Hey," he said "I made it! I made it man." His look of relief did not last long. "Something just brushed by my foot! Hey Chris man! Somethin' ain't right down here!" He was dragged underwater, then he jumped out screaming. "Down boy!" he yelled as he ran to shore.

"Well," Chris said as he wrote on a clipboard, "that seems safe enough."

Rippling back to the present Lightning scoffed. "Lightning will do it since ya'll are so scared." Lightning jumped off the cliff in an expert dive, he landed in the safe zone.A montage of jumpers began; Duncan Jumped off the cliff without expression his arms folded; Xena falling with no reaction; Geoff cheering as he dove feet first.

Back at the top of the cliff Scott glances over the edge. "I just can't do it." Scott said apologetically.

"Fine, that makes you a chicken. So, you'll have to wear this," he says putting a chicken hat on Scott. "for the rest of the day."

"Whatever." Scott replied.

"Bawk bawk bawk! That means the chicken path down is thataway," the host said pointing to an escalator.

"Wait, was that escalator there on the way up?" Amber questioned.

"Yes, it's been here the whole time." Chris insisted.

"Really because I don't remember-" Amber started.

"What is this question the host day?" Chris interrupted irritably. "It's there, the chickens go down it, end of story." Amber opened her mouth. "Zip it!"

Everyone was so distracted by the fight no one noticed Scott smirk as he left.

"Yeah!" Harold screamed as he jumped off the cliff, his legs wide open. The camera followed his descent to the inevitable conclusion. Harold hit the water kiwis first. As anyone with a good head on their shoulders can tell you, falling on water from such a great height is exactly the same as falling on cement, this in mind Harold was well within his rights to scream.

Another montage began, Kitty laughing her arms outstretched as she enjoyed the thrill; Ellody trying to center herself; Alejandro diving gracefully. Dawn falling with unnerving calmness almost like gravity didn't affect her as much. She landed outside the safe zone, but for some reason the sharks ignored her.

"There is no way I'm jumping off this cliff. I just got my nails did and I ain't risking breaking one. Do you know long this perfection takes?" Anne Marie said grabbing a chicken hat from Chris.

"Okay, so that's nine jumpers and two chickens." Chris says as he writes on a clipboard. Chris turns to the Gophers as the camera cuts to a shot of all of them. "Screaming Gophers, if you can beat that we'll throw in a pull cart to put your crates on." The cart is shown on the beach below with the same jingle from earlier. "If you can't we'll give them to the Bass."

" I'm next! Woohoo!" Tyler said as he jumped off the cliff. "Cowabunga!" He cried as he fell toward the water. Unfortunately, he hit one of the many buoys surrounding the safe zone. He groaned sliding into the water.

"Well I'm not jumping." Amy scoffed.

"And why not?" Jo replied.

"Well duh, I'm not a complete idiot like you. I don't want to die." Amy huffed folding her arms.

"We're not losing because of you." Jo said flatly. She proceeded to throw Amy off the cliff.

"You're gonna pay jockette!" The older twin yelled; a fist raised.

Jo glared at her team. "Does anyone else want to take the express trip off the cliff?" Everyone shook their heads. Yet another montage began; Jo falling as she yelled threats; Amber screaming but oddly still; Ella falls shortly afterwards singing as she falls with her limbs outstretched. She lands outside the safe zone.

People are shown atop the cliff trying to warn Ella as a shark moves in. Ella turns to the shark and begins to sing. "Sorry Mister shark, I'm just out for a lark, I will leave you alone, in the surf and foam, if you'll just help me, get out of the sea." Far from mailing the princess wannabe as everyone expected, the shark's eyes became hearts and they let Ella ride them to shore.

"Evil does not jump off cliffs." Max declared taking a chicken hat.

The montage continued; Trent diving nicely; Noah somehow managing to scream while remaining apathetic; Crimson falling like a stone and landing outside the safe zone. The sharks moved towards her, then she popped out of the water and scared the sharks away.

Sammy looked like she was trying to decide between her fear of getting voted off and her fear of breaking all her bones. Finally, she sighed and took a chicken hat.

"Ok campers." Chris called through a red megaphone. "There's only one person left, If you want any chance of getting those pull carts you need this! No pressure dude."

Cameron looked nervous. "Really? This feels like a high pressure situation." He gulped.

"That's because it is. I was lying before." Chris smirked.

Camron stared over the cliff a nervous expression on his face.

(confessional)

Camron: I was so nervous, this probably isn't surprising but I can't swim well.

Static

Amber: It was a tense moment but all I thought at the time was "So how does Camron walk? Wouldn't his legs be atrophied if he spent his life in a bubble?" I get hung up on that kind of thing.

Static

Geoff: I'm looking at this dude and thinking, there's no way he makes it.

Static

Noah: "I basically considered him dead, or at the very least brutally injured."

Static

The scene cut to Camron a bit further back on the cliff. "I'm going to die now." Camron said nervously. The camera cut to the other Gophers watching him anxiously. With these words he ran to the edge of the cliff and jumped.

The bubble boy screamed as he fell eventually, he landed in the safe zone. The small boy sank below the surface. There were several tense moments as everyone stared at the water in silence. Was he going to make it?

With a gasp Camron surfaced causing the Gophers to cheer as many Bass sighed in relief glad the boy was okay.

"We won!" Ella screamed.

"Actually you tied, and since Amy was thrown off the cliff I'm giving the carts to the bass." Chris smirked.

"You said we would win if string bean jumped!" Jo screamed angrily.

"No I said 'if you want any chance of getting those pull carts' he needed to jump. I never said there was a high chance." Chris smirked.

Everyone glared at Amy. "What? Samey's the one who didn't jump."

\

We flash to the bass pulling carts full of crates as they sang. Luckily, Lightning had helped stack the crates so there were three crates on two, and two crates on the other two. Spirits were high enough that everyone was singing one hundred bottles of pop on the wall."Forty-nine bottles of pop on the wall, forty-nine bottles of pop, if one of these bottles should happen to fall, Forty-eight bottles of pop on the wall."

\

Meanwhile the Gophers were struggling to push the large crates. There were enough that everyone had to push one. Jo wasn't really struggling but everyone else couldn't move their crate more than a few inches at a time. Amy was pushing her crate gingerly. This did not sit well with Jo.

"Ugh why did Samey have to ruin this for us." Amy griped.

"Stop complaining and push your crate chicken." Jo said glaring at the older twin.

"Hey Samey's the one wearing a chicken hat!" Amy argued.

"You would be too if I hadn't thrown you in." Jo replied getting into the older twin's face.

"And look how well that worked." Amy finished triumphantly, a confident smirk on her face.

Max stepped near the two. "I command you to stop arguing and continue push the supplies for my evil hot tub." A manic grin came over the 'evil' man's face. "For I am the emperor of evil! The champion of chaos! The kingpin of-"

"Shut up!" Amy said.

"Can it with the monologue shorty!" Jo said at the same time.

\

The Bass were making steady progress as they continued to sing. Harold was no longer pulling a cart as he was currently struggling to keep up with the others. "Thirty-two bottles of pop on the wall, Thirty-two bottles of pop, if one of these bottles should happen to fall..."

\

The gophers were not doing much better. Tyler set down his crate. "I've gotta take a wizz."

"Hurry up we're already behind." Jo griped, as Tyler walked behind a bush.

"I also need to tinkle." Max agreed going behind the bush Tyler had not taken.

\

We return to the bass mid verse. "-should happen to fall, 28 bottles of pop on the wall." The group came to stop.

"Look!" Harold exclaimed as we are shown the cabins. "There's the campgrounds!"

"That was pretty easy." Kitty responded.

"Indeed, given our team's lack of physical strength I was anticipating a longer travel time." Ellody noted.

\

Back with the Gophers Tyler and Max had returned from their bathroom break. "Finally, come on we gotta make up for lost time!" Jo said.

Tyler returned to carrying his crate. Max on the other hand... "Why should you be the leader? I'm the evil mastermind here!" He pointed his finger in the air for dramatic effect. "You are all nothing more than pawns in my evil scheme! Cower before me minions!"

No one looked like they were cowering. Jo lifted Max by the collar until he was at eye level with her. "You're going to shut your mouth, walk over there and push your crate." Jo growled dragging Max closer with every word. "Do. I. Make. Myself. Clear?" At this point their noses were almost touching.

Max gulped. "Crystal." He yelped as Jo dropped him.

\

We see the Bass by the cabins trying to open the crates with their teeth. No one seems to be having much luck. Chris walked by the struggling teens. "Remember you can only open the crates with your teeth. I came up with that one." Chris said smugly.

Harold had somehow managed to get a rope in his mouth. He got a crate open but injured himself in the process. "Ow! How do you even get a rope burn on your tongue? I mean gosh!"

/

Back with the gophers Max had, had enough time to regain his bravado. "I will not push this crate! That what my minions are supposed to be for!" The 'evil' man said, pushing his crate away with disdain.

"Ugh! Stop associating me with those yellow tic tac's!" Amy complained sounding genuinely offended.

Chris pulled up behind them on a red ATV. "You guys are way behind the other team, like way behind. What's the problem?"

"Well if a certain someone wouldn't question the leadership around here." Jo said looking at Max pointedly.

"Precisely, if Jo would just hand leadership to me-" Max began, completely missing the point.

"You couldn't a lead fish to water, and they live in it!" Amy glowered.

"Excuse me? I am the very embodiment of evil! The prince of pestilence!" Max cackled.

"You're gonna be prince of something if you keep on like this. " Jo threatened, punching a fist into her hand.

Noah cut in. "No I actually agree with him this time Jo." The cynic smirked.

"Finally someone respects my evilness!" Max said gleefully.

"After all he is simultaneously the prince of pests and insolence." Noah finished generating several chuckles.

"As great as all this drama is we're on a schedule people! Get moving!" Chris ordered.

\

The bass had gotten their crates open.

"I've got wood!" Said Kitty as she pulled out said object.

"I have some tools and a pool liner. " Xena continued, holding up the contents of her own crate.

The gophers arrived at camp exhausted.

"Finally." Noah muttered relieved to be unencumbered.

"How's it going my dudes." Geoff greeted.

"I'm hot, tired and I ache everywhere. Obviously everything's just peachy." Noah responded irratlly.

"Cool glad you're doing well." Geoff said earnestly. Noah's eye twitched.

At this point the Gophers were disheartened and Tyler could see they would need help getting their spirits back.

"Guys it's not too late we can do this!" He said to no effect. Trent put a hand on his shoulder.

"He's right. We've got to try, they may be ahead but we are a team. If we don't try we will fail. I'd like to be known as the team that never gave up. Who's with me?" Trent said.

The Gophers' cheered, and began to try and open the crates. A montage began of the two teams building their hot tubs. First the Bass were shown, Xena and Alejandro were working on an already partly built hot tub. It was looking a lot like the picture. A pan to the Gophers showed Tyler and Noah working on their own hot tub. It looked the same.

The Bass are shown, Dawn handed a hammer to Trent who pounded another nail into their nearly complete hot tub. Another pan to the Gophers showed them still trying to piece their tub together, despite this it was shaping up nicely.

The Bass were passing their bucket down a line easily filling their tub with water. A final pan to the Gopher's showed them in a line as well, unfortunately, the team wasn't as coordinated with Tyler accidently drenching several people in water, Ella more focused on singing and dancing than not losing the water, and Max trying to add 'evil' to the tub.

The montage ends with a flash transition. Chris begins examining the tubs with a serious look on his face, his hands behind his back. Some of the Gophers are shown as Chris approaches the Bass' hot tub. Some of the Bass watch on as Chris gives their hot tub a closer inspection. The host put his hand to his chin in thought, made an unsure face, then smiled and lifted his hands into the air. "This is an awesome hot tub!"

The Bass cheered at this ruling. We follow Chris as he makes his way to the Gopher's hot tub. He dipped his hand into it and frowned. "Why is the water cold?"

The team's eyes widened, they'd been so busy trying to catch up to the bass they'd forgotten to heat the water!

"The heater works but apparently no one turned it on." Noah scowled.

"We could turn on the heater now?" Sammy tried.

"The point of a hot tub is to be hot!" Chris said "I think we have a winner here." He paused "The killer bass!"

At this the Bass cheered louder than ever, even Xena gave a nod of approval. For a moment we see the disappointed Gophers then focus returned to Chris. "Bass, you're safe from elimination and you get to rock this awesome hot tub for the rest of the summer." The host turned to the camera and points towards the viewers. "Bonus!"

Chris turned to the Gophers with a frown as the focus changed to the disheartened team. "Screaming Gophers, what can I say? It sucks to be you right now. I'll see your sorry butts at the campfire tonight." The host said as he pointed at the Gophers.

\

Both teams are shown at the mess hall eating we focus on the Gopher table, where the subdued team is trying to eat. Tyler sighed. "So I guess we have to vote someone off."

"I say we vote off Samey she always messes things up!" Amy exclaimed.

"And I say we vote you off!" Jo growled.

"I think you should all be voted off you're absolutely worthless as minions!" Max proclaimed.

"You're the one wearing a chicken hat." Noah said flatly.

"Not to mention how much time you wasted arguing." Trent added.

"Not only that but you're annoying." Amy glared.

"And your speeches are long winded and boring." Jo glowered.

"Evil does not appreciate your conspiring. You will all be ruled by me one day!"

Noah face palmed.

\

The Gophers sat at the campfire pit. The fire cast an orange glow over the area. To the left several decorative torches were lit. They led off to a string of lights also lit. The back row of stumps held Tyler, Jo, Crimson, Noah, Amber, and Cameron. The front row held, Ella, Trent, Amy, Sammy and Max.

"Screaming Gophers." Chris began as focus moves to him. He held a large tray of marshmallows upon one hand. "At camp," the host gestures to the plate as we are shown a close up. "Marshmallows represent a tasty treat." The campers are briefly shown. " That you enjoy roasting by the fire." The focus moves back to the host who had a serious look on his face. "At this camp marshmallows represent life."

We see Noah fake a yawn. "You've all cast your votes and made your decision." The host went on. "There are only ten marshmallows on this plate." The plate is shown once more. "When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight must immediately return to the dock of shame." The dock is shown with the boat of losers lying in wait. "To catch the boat of losers." Chris points to the out of sight campers. "This means you're out of the contest." the campers are shown again waiting in anticipation. "And you can't come back." the campers looked shocked. "Ever."

The host held up a marshmallow between his fingers. "The first marshmallow goes to Tyler."

"Whoo!" The jock cheered, "Place at the table!"

"Ella"

"I get to stay!" She the princess wannabe said as she collected her treat.

"Amber" Chris threw the marshmallow at her face as she was reading. Unsurprisingly she had no reaction.

"Crimson, Camron, Noah" The host listed.

Cameron ran over excitedly. The other two walked over with no expression change from normal.

"The rest of you received at least one vote."

This made the remaining campers nervous. Except Amy who was smirking in Sammy's direction. Amy made a slitting motion across her throat, as she looked at Samey who sighed giving up.

"Samey."

Samey blinked. "what?"

"You meant to say Amy right?" Amy smirked.

"No I meant Samey." Chris said with a smirk.

Sammy smiled and ran to get her marshmallow. She wasn't going home!

"Jo"

"Of course." The jock said cockily.

This done, Chris' face became as serious as ever. "Campers this is the final marshmallow of the evening." At this the camera zoomed in on the plate. It then zoomed in on Max, who was looking extremely nervous, and Amy who just looked angry. The camera zoomed in on Chris, then on a visibly shaken Max, then on the plate, then back on Amy who was starting to look slightly nervous, back to Max, Amy, Max, the plate, closer still to Amy, closer to Max. The camera switched to show Chris opening his mouth about to decide on of the camper's fates. The camera went back to the two campers who leaned forward in anticipation. Chris raised a finger and the music swelled as he began to move it back and forth between the two campers, he tapped his chin and the campers prepared for the worst.

…

…

…

"Amy."

"You fools! I am the most evil! I will spend every waking moment plotting revenge," Seeing Max wasn't about to stop soon Chris rolled his eyes.

"Chef get him out of here." Chef threw a still monologuing Max onto the boat of losers, as it left they could hear him scream. "You will rue the day you crossed me!"

"The rest of you enjoy your marshmallows, you're all safe, for now." Chris said ending the ceremony.

\

Outside the Bass cabin, Anne Maria, Geoff, Kitty, Alejandro, and Duncan were enjoying the hot tub. Geoff raised a soda to toast. "To the Killer Bass!" The remaining four repeated the toast as they all cheered.

Lightning moved in front of the tub and flex. "The Bass Sha rule!"

(confessional)

Scott: We may have won this time, but there's plenty of time to change that.

Static

The screaming gophers passed by dejected. Jo looked at the camera. "Are you recording this?" at that the camera zoomed in."Good. I'm the strongest, smartest person on this island. I'm gonna win this contest got it!"

Chapter Text

The recap begins with a distance shot of Chris on the dock of shame. "Last time on total drama island, " the clips of the campers posing for the photo, the campers at the campfire pit, Chris pointing at the cabins, and Max screaming at the roach are shown. "22 campers arrived and learned that they'll be spending the next eight weeks at a crusty old summer camp."

A panning shot of the campers at the top of the cliff, a distance shot of the cliff, and a close up of the shark infested waters play over the next line. "The campers were faced with their first challenge, jumping off a 1000-foot cliff into shark infested waters! "

Clips of Jo Lightning, Xena, Crimson and Duncan jumping are shown, followed by Anne Maria, and Scott getting chicken hats. "And while most campers took the plunge, some earned the dreaded chicken hat."

A shot of the campfire pit during the elimination ceremony, and close up of Amy and Max are shown. "At the campfire ceremony it all came down to two campers, " clips of Amy and Jo arguing and Amy gingerly pushing her crate are shown, "Amy's been a real pest since she got here," Clips of Max monologing and generally being annoying are shown. "And Max somehow hindered the team even more by questioning Jo's leadership."

"In the end, the first camper voted off Total Drama Island," the clip of Max leaving is shown, "was Max proving that being annoying is a good way to get voted off." The recap ends with Chris on the dock. "Who will be voted off this week, in the most dramatic Campfire Ceremony yet? Find out tonight, on Total. Drama. Island."

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The camera follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zooms out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock as a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The camp is completely silent as the episode starts everything is peaceful, too peaceful. Chris McLean was not the kind of host that would let this dramaless atmosphere continue. He enters the shot with an air horn and megaphone in hand. He lifts up the air horn to the megaphone and sets it off with sadistic glee.

An extremely loud sound spread throughout the camp startling the majority of the campers awake. Jo shot up in bed hitting her head on the bunk above.

"Who in their right mind wakes up at this hour!" she yelled out the window.

/

The scene transitions to show the campers lined up in front of Chris. They had all changed into their normal clothing. Everyone looked incredibly tired sans Crimson and Amber.

"Morning, hope you slept well." Chris smirked.

"If you wanted us to sleep well, why wake us at this hour?" Xena asked.

Chris paused staring at her incredulously , then shrugged. "Okay I hope you're all ready," The host began as he walked down the row of campers. "because your next challenge begins in exactly one minute." He finished pausing in front of Anne Maria and pointing to his watch.

"What? I need at least another hour to primp." Anne Maria scowled.

"And Lightning hasn't gotten his DPA yet." The jock agreed. Everyone stared at him. "Daily protein allotment? Really?"

"They'll be time that, right after you complete your 20 kilometer run around the lake."he said pointing towards the lake.

"You're enjoying this ain't ya?" Anne Maria stated.

"A little." The host admitted. "You have thirty seconds." He said pointing at his watch.

(confessional)

Anne Maria: Sure I want the money but not at the cost of my looks.

Static

Scott: DPA huh? Sounds promising

Static

/

The campers were lined up, and had taken their starting positions. Nine campers were within shot. Jo, Lightning, Alejandro, Ellody, Duncan, Geoff, Kitty, Scott, and Harold. "Okay runners!" Chris began. "On your marks! Get set!" The camera zoomed in on the host, leaving five campers in frame. "GO!" Lightning, Alejandro, and Jo took off like bullets, while Ellody took a second to register the race had begun.

The scene transitions to show the campers on their run. In front Jo, Lightning, Alejandro and Geoff vied for the lead. The last few campers were Noah, Amy, Ellody, Anne MarIa , and Harold. It was upon this group the camera focused.

"Do you know how much longer?" Harold asked Noah.

"I don't want to be associated with you." Noah deadpanned as he walked away.

The camera focused on Amy who was walking along when she heard a cry of pain. As she looked down she saw Camron in a heap ahead of her. Her foot was on his hand. "Sun so much hotter than I've read, limbs won't cooperate." He managed to gasp.

"You're almost as pathetic as Samey." Amy snarked.

"I don't see you running." Anne Maria retorted.

(confessional.)

Amy: Running in heels is like asking to trip. As if I'd risk that.

Static

Chris came by the campers on a moped with a grin on his face. He shouted through the red megaphone. "Pick it up people if you're not there by dinner time you don't eat!"

As Noah walked by Camron gripped his foot. Noah looked like he was seriously considering ignoring him before he sighed.

/

The scene cut to the main lodge, where most of the campers, and Chris who was buffing his nails , were waiting for the last four. The door opened "Physical exertion is not my forte." Ellody gasped as she fell in. She was shortly followed by Noah who was dragging a nearly unconscious Camron.

"What happened to him?" Kitty asked.

"I don't really care." Noah shrugged.

Finally Harold stumbled in. Scott glared at him. "Gee, Harold thanks for losing the challenge."

"I think I'm having heart palpitations," He groaned clutching at his chest.

"If they lost than doesn't that mean we won?" Amy smirked. The Gophers began to cheer, save for Crimson, who remained as aloof as ever, and Cameron, who did manage a happy sigh.

"Whoa there," Chris chuckled as the camera focused on him, his hands held out. "hold your horses, guys!" He walked into the room's center the camera following. "That wasn't the challenge!"

"It wasn't?" Sammy questioned.

"Who's hungry?" Chris said as he gestured to a purple curtain. It pulled back to reveal a table laden with a feast that made Thanksgiving look small. An angelic chord sounded and the food seemed to glisten.

(confessional)

Noah: I don't trust Chris, but after three days of chef's gruel I would've accepted this food from a guy laughing maniacally as he pet his cat while wearing an eye patch.

Static

Kitty: It was the most amazing spread I've ever seen! Well maybe not most amazing but it's top three at least.

Static

Xena: This is clearly a ploy but I must partake who knows when I will next get decent sustenance.

static

/

The confession cut to to a panning shot of the previously full table, nothing but scraps, dishes, and bones remained. The groans heard over the scene implied the campers had gorged themselves. The shot pulls out to show the campers slumped on the floor, bloated from overindulgence.

Chris jumped onto the table a megaphone in hand."Okay campers! Time for part two of your challenge!"

"Eating wasn't the second part?" Kitty questioned.

"What else do you want?" Jo added.

"The jockette is right. Haven't we done enough?" Amy whined, as she clutched her cartoonishly large stomach.

"Um let me think about that. " the host paused. "No. it's time for the awake-a-thon!"

"The sha-what-a-thon?" Lightning prodded.

"Don't worry!" Chris replied, hopping from the table. "This is an easy one! The team with the last camper standing wins invincibility!"

"So you made us run twenty kilometers, and then tempted us with food all so we'd have a harder time staying awake?" Noah said flatly.

"That's right Noah." Chris responded.

"He's good." Noah admitted, Crimson nodded in agreement.

"Move! Move! Move!" Chris ordered. The camera followed the campers as they reluctantly left the lodge to go in the baking sun.

""So, how long do you think it'll be before everyone's out cold?" Trent asked Sammy. Sammy took a moment to realize he was addressing her.

"An hour?" She guessed blushing, Camron passed by looking like an extra in a zombie film. "Less than that?"

/

The sun rose to midday as the scene transitioned to later in the challenge. A timer in the upper right corner claimed it was twelve hours later. The shot pans down to show the campers, separated by team, sitting with bloodshot eyes. . "We are now twelve hours in," Chris' voice overlay the scene. "with twenty campers still wide awake." The camera panned over the Gophers, all members save Crimson and Noah were shown. Camron was asleep.

Alejandro was currently doing light exercise and receiving quite a few looks. Jo looked suspicious, her eyes followed the Spaniard as she glared.

"I apologize for any inconvenience but I'm restless. " The Spaniard replied to her look as he stretched his leg in a manner that should not have been possible for a man.

"After a twenty k run?" Jo said skeptically.

"Leave him alone Jo." Sammy whispered tentatively.

"Yeah you don't have the right to make him stop." Amber agreed.

Jo rolled her eyes. The camera panned to show Crimson and Noah sitting a bit off everyone else. They both seemed wholly disinterested.

(Confessional)

Noah: The awake-a-thon was brutally boring, but at least Crimson didn't make things worse by trying to engage in small talk.

Static

Crimson: It's good to know one of my teammates can keep the silence. Most people feel the need to fill the air with meaningless chatter, like a swarm of insects.

Static

The camera focuses on Sammy and Trent sitting on adjacent logs. "I'm so tired I can't feel my legs." The younger twin moaned.

"Could be way worse," Trent replied.

"Really?" Sammy yawned. "How so?"

"We could be here without each other for company." He said smoothly. Sammy smiled lightly, in the background Amy glared. Next to her Jo is studying her teammates.

(confessional)

Jo: Not that I need the help but I wouldn't mind having a couple of peons. One to do whatever I say, and one to throw under the bus if things don't go my way. Now among my teammates which ones are the most naive or unpleasant?

Static

The confession cuts to Ella singing while Amy glowers at her. "So as impossible as it seems, I can dance on moonbeams, if only in my drea-"

"Are you trying to make me even more tired?" Amy scowled.

"They'll do, hey princess, tweedle dee, can I talk to you for a bit?" Jo asked.

"I would be delighted." Ella agreed.

"Whatever I have nothing better to do." Amy replied sullenly.

\

The scene flash cuts to a close up of Jo a bit off of the campsite. "So I know I can be aggressive, but I've figured out a way to take me and two others to the end game. I chose you." Jo said as the other two walked into shot.

"Truly, how wonderful." Ella beamed.

"Why would I ally with you?" Amy frowned.

"You know I can always ask Sam-" Jo started.

"I'm in." Amy agreed, cutting her off.

"Good now let's keep this alliance between us." Jo ordered.

"You have my word." Ella promised.

"Like I'd want anyone else to join." Amy smirked.

(confessional)

Ella (singing): I'm going to the end game, the end game, the end game, I'm going to the end game oh I'm so glad I came!

Static

Amy: Don't get me wrong I still hate her, but if anyone's getting in this alliance its me. Besides she called me tweedle dee. Which means Samey's tweedle dumb.

Static

/

The confession cuts to night, the timer marking it as twenty four hours since the challenge started. The camera zoomed in from a full view of the island to show a few shots around the campfire. Geoff struggled to keep his eyes open. Noah was out like a light, as was Camron and Kitty. The rest of Gophers were awake. The counter confirmed nine were left. The bass had nine left as well, Ellody having drifted off. Everyone was struggling except Crimson, who remained aloof, Dawn, who was mediating, and Amber who was spacing out.

"Congratulations, campers!" Chris announced as the focus switched to him. "You've made it to the twenty-four hour mark! Time to take things up a notch!"

The shot zoomed out to reveal the host standing next to a large object covered in a sheet, as well as the Chef. The giant man was dressed in, of all things, a light pink sheep costume, and carried a small harp.

"Fairy tales!" The host smirked, removing the sheet to reveal a pile of books.

"Seriously?" Amy snarked.

Chris cleared his throat as the shot returned to him. Chef played the harp before glaring at the chortles he received."Once...upon a time..." Chris slowly began.. "There was...inside this boring kingdom... a boring village. And inside this boring, sleepy, village...filled with, very boring children..." Geoff's eyes fluttered. Tyler yawned.

As Tyler's eyes closed the scene changed to a dreamlike background with a harp on a hill. Pink fluffy sheep began to make their way on screen. Eventually they began to jump over the harp until the fifth, which was not a sheep but Chef in the sheep costume. A loud snore interrupted this jolting Tyler awake. Harold had fallen asleep.

The next shot was of Jo, Amy and Ella. Suddenly Chef danced on screen wearing a pink ballet tutu as dance of the sugar plum fairies played. He left a trail of dust in his wake causing the three girls to yawn. Geoff, Duncan, and Lightning all yawned as they too were sprinkled with dust. Xena fell over asleep.

"That'll leave a mark." Sammy winced.

\

The scene cuts to later that night where the timer says it's been forty hours. The shot is taken from behind the campers so only their silhouettes were seen. The most obvious being Tyler moving, Anne Maria standing shock still, and Dawn meditating.

(confessional)

Tyler: I figured if I kept moving my body wouldn't relax and I wouldn't fall asleep.

Static

The confession cuts to a view in front of the campers. The camera panned over the bass revealing Alejandro, Duncan, Lightning, Dawn and Anne Maria were left awake. Then it panned over the Gophers, showing Jo, Crimson, Amber, Trent, Amy, Sammy, Ella and Tyler were awake. The camera paused as Tyler fell over and the counter adjusted accordingly.

The camera stopped on Trent and Sammy as a nearby Amy fell asleep. The two were talking. " What's your favorite song?" Sammy asked.

"She would be loved. Favorite color?" Trent responded.

"Um...red." Sammy said uncertainly.

"Why'd you hesitate?" Trent said placing a hand on her shoulder.

"Because whenever I get asked that I say red, then Amy tells me to stop copying her." The sweet twin replied staring at her feet.

"Your sister doesn't have the right to treat you that way." Trent said firmly.

"I know but I'm not sure I have the courage to stop her." Sammy said as she trailed her fingers across the ground. "No one has ever chosen me over Amy."

Trent tilted Sammy's head up and looked her in the eye. "I choose you."

\

We transition to sometime later, panning down from the sky to show the two laying on their backs, stargazing. "You still awake?" Trent muttered.

"Not really," She yawned. "You?"

"About the same, so what else can we talk about?" Trent received only light breathing in response. Sighing he closed his eyes and joined her.

The camera pans to show Ella talking with Dawn. "So you can tell when someone is lying?" Ella questioned.

"It depends, some people are easy to read, while others require more time to learn." Dawn answered.

"Who's the hardest?" The princess wannabe asked curiously.

"It's between Noah and Xena, Noah's aura is almost completely gray, and Xena's is logical tan." Dawn explained.

Ella yawned. "You know Dawn until tonight I thought the only people with your powers were evil witches. I'm glad someone like you has these powers. " Ella said as she lay her head against the log Dawn was meditating on.

"I can tell from your aura you are a sweet girl, too naïve for her own good, with a deep appreciation for nature. You aura is beautiful and it suits you perfectly." Dawn complimented.

Ella blushed. "That's so nice of you."

\

The scene flashes to a full view of the island the timer reading fifty-one hours. A zoom cut showed Lightning asleep. He awakes to find Duncan staring at Anne Maria. Her eyes wide open. "Okay this is just unnatural. Seriously how is she doing this?" Duncan waved his hand in front of the girl's face. She didn't move a muscle. He poked her face and she opened her eyes?

"Her eyes are painted I saw it!" Jo accused, pointing at the jersey reject.

"Shut. Up." Chris exclaimed."Oh, I've got to see this!" Chris walked over to Anne Maria. The jersey reject stared at him, blinking as she realized she was caught. He examined the thick white eye shadow she'd applied. "Well I wasn't gonna risk my looks for this challenge." She explained.

"That is so freaking cool, but you're still out." The Bass' counter dropped by one.

\

The camera focuses on Alejandro as he approaches Amber. "Is this place taken?" He smiled patting the ground next to her.

"N-no..." Amber stuttered the blush on her face only grew as he sat by her.

"You don't seem to be tired?" Alejandro said in askance. She and Crimson had been fine the whole time.

"Well after so many late night reading sessions I'm used to staying awake on little sleep." Amber explained.

"What genre do you enjoy?" The charmer asked ,placing a hand on her shoulder.

"H-horror mostly, though I enjoy a good mystery as well, you know Agatha Christie, Sherlock Holmes, Dracula, I know what you did last summer..." She trailed.

"Ah a woman of taste I see." The charmer complimented.

"T-thanks." Amber whispered unsure of how to take the compliment. "But you should get back to your team I wouldn't want them to get mad at you."

"Very well, I if I must." Alejandro agreed."Your company would make any trouble worth it though." He said with a coy grin. As he walked off Amber smiled.

(confessional)

Amber: 'Come into my parlor' said the spider to the fly and you know Alejandro's a good spider because even though I know what he's doing, I'm still tempted to jump into the web...

\

The confessional cuts to the night sky. The timer speeds up as the sky transitions from night to day, day to night, and night to day again; the timer stops at eighty-five hours. Clips of campers waking up were shown. First Duncan putting Harold's hand in a mug of warm water. "Oh gross it works, dude peed his pants."He exclaimed as the nerd woke up, gasped, and tried to hide his pee stain.

The next clip shown was Ella waking up from her slumber a meditating Dawn greeting her. Finally Noah cuddling with Camron. The former opened his eyes, saw what position he was in,and ran off, while the latter stared after him in confusion.

(confessional)

Camron: With our low amount of body fat, it's only natural that in our unconscious state we'd gravitate to the nearest source of heat. Which happened to be each other. I'm not sure why Noah's upset about it.

Static

\

The scene flashes to show the remaining three Gophers. Jo, Amber and Crimson. Jo was slouching and looked exhausted, while Crimson and Amber seemed fine.

"What is the matter with you people?" Chris said, coffee in hand. He looked well rested. He took a sip. "Come on, fall asleep already!"

"Not gonna happen McLame." Jo retorted, though the bags under her eyes said otherwise.

Chris smirked. "Alright. You six stay with me," the shot zooms out to show the final six, Jo, Crimson, Amber, Alejandro, Duncan, and Dawn walking to the host, "The rest of you get a shower for heaven's sake! You stink!" Harold ran away his hands covering his crotch.

Chris took another sip of his coffee and the music swelled ominously. "I didn't want it to come to this," he said, as the camera did a slow zoom on his face. "I said that to Chef Hatchet last night, I said 'Chef? I don't want it to come to this!' But darn it, these campers are tough! And so, I've come up with the most boring sleep-inducing activity, I can find."

(confessional)

Duncan: Whatever Chris has up his sleeve. I can take.

Static

Chris smiled and took out a book. "The History of Canada," He droned. "A Pop-up Book, Chapter One." He opened the book, and a beaver popped up from its pages. "The Beaver. National symbol, and a 'dam' fine hat." He made air quotes around his pun as the last six campers, now sitting in a single row of stumps, groaned.

\

The scene cuts the cabins to show them empty, everyone was washing up. Everyone except Scott. Scott chuckled as he found what he was looking for.

The footage skipped ahead, and the timer read eighty seven hours. As Chris droned on, the camera showed Alejandro and Jo had fallen asleep. The scoreboard dropped in favor of Gophers. Shortly afterwards Amber toppled off her log as she finally fell asleep.

(confessional)

Amber: My one literary weakness, curse you history!

Static

The scene flashed back to Chris as he smiled behind an oil drum he was using as a podium. "Time for a bathroom break!" he announced. "Any takers?"

"I've held it this long sweetheart!" Duncan said. "I can go all day."

"Yeah, but can you hold it for another ten chapters?" Crimson deadpanned. Duncan seemed to change his mind at this thought.

"You've got five minutes," Chris told him, "long as you don't mind a little company."

"Fine, but stay out of the stall." The delinquent told the cameraman.

Chris was subsequently shown waiting and bored at his podium. He was handed a note from someone off-screen. He smiled when he read it. "And we have news! It looks like Duncan, has taken a dive on the can! So I guess that leaves-" Dawn toppled off her log, meditation finally giving way to sleep. "Oh." He paused. "the official winner of the 'awake-a-thon' is Crimson."

"We're done? Good." Crimson deadpanned before falling straight forward. Chris winced.

\

The scene flash transitioned to a view outside the cabins. An angry Lightning is desperately looking for something. "Where is Lightning' DPA!" He burst from the cabin. "Lightning's been robbed!"

"Robbed? What'd they take?" Kitty asked.

"My protein powder! Lightning needs his DPA!" Lightning frowned.

"Have you looked everywhere?" Xena questioned.

"Are you trying to tell Lightning he wouldn't look everywhere for his DPA?" Lightning said defensively.

"It was merely a question." Xena said flatly.

"In fact how does Lightning know you didn't take it? Any of you could have taken it." Lightning accused.

"Let's not jump to conclusions. I'll help you look buddy." Geoff offered.

(confessional)

Scott: (Holding giant can of protein powder.) Gee I wonder where it went?

Static

The confession cuts to a view of the bass boy's side of the cabin. Geoff is looking around. In the background Scott is shown rolling the protein powder under a bunk. He sneaks off and Geoff turns. "Hey I found it! It was under your bunk." He said as he stepped back outside.

Lightning grabs his protein powder, holding to his chest. "I missed you!" He pauses. "but Lightning knows it wasn't there before. Looks like whoever stole it was afraid of Lightning and returned it."

"Who's to say anyone stole it? You just made a mistake." Scott soothed.

"Lighting don't make mistakes when it comes to his protein powder." The football jock insisted.

"Come on the team deserves an apology. Just admit you were wrong." Scott demanded.

"Lightning wasn't wrong one of ya'll stole it." Due to his pride Lightning refused to admit he was wrong. Several Bass members glared at him.

\

The scene skipped ahead to the next night, at the elimination ceremony. Chris was shown walking towards the Killer Bass with a plate of marshmallows, the camera zoomed in on Lightning sitting on the end.

"You've all cast your votes and made your decision," Chris said holding the plate in both hands. "There are only ten marshmallows on this plate." The camera got a close-up of the marshmallows before switching back to the host. "When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow." The scene panned over the eleven teens, most still visibly tired. "The camper who does not receive a marshmallow, must immediately return to the Dock of Shame, catch the Boat of Losers, and leave." The camera zoomed out to show the whole group. "And you can never come back, ever."

"The first marshmallow goes to Dawn." The moon child gracefully accepted her marshmallow. "Duncan," the delinquent trudged over. "Alejandro,"

"Of course." The charmer replied.

"Kitty," The perky girl beamed. "Geoff," The party dude gave him a thumbs up. " Anne Maria."

"You better believe it." The jersey reject cheered.

"Scott." The schemer accepted his marshmallow, a smirk on his face. "Xena." The girl expressed no emotional change. "Ellody." The geek looked relieved.

"Campers, this is the final marshmallow of the evening!" Chris announced, pointing at the last remaining piece of white Fluff.

"Sha-what!" Lightning exclaimed while Harold looked on nervously.

Shots began to alternate between the two nervous campers, the smiling host, and the final marshmallow as the music began to build.

...

...

...

"Harold." The dweeb gave a sleepy grin.

"Why would ya'll vote me off?!" Lightning asked incredulously.

"Tough break, bro. The dock of shame awaits." Chris said gesturing toward said dock.

"I'm too good for this show anyway." The football jock scoffed.

"As for the rest of you, you're all safe. For now."

(confessional)

Kitty: Thinking someone stole your stuff is one thing, but not apologizing after you've found it? That's just rude.

Scott: (whittling a piece of wood) I figured brick for brains would flip if I took his protein powder. My plan is to make my team lose so the Gophers underestimate us. Now that we've lost our strongest team member I'd say we're on our way. Yep everything's coming up Scott.

(Fade to Credits)

Chapter Text

"Last time, on Total Drama Island!" A Chris voiceover began as scenes from the previous episode were shown. They begin with a pan downwards from the sun to the campers running. "The Screaming Gophers kicked butt in the Awake-a-Thon when Dawn got a little too relaxed." the moonchild was shown falling off her stump. "and the Killer Bass suffered their first loss of the game." A clip of the Gophers cheering was shown, followed by a few clips of Lightning looking for his protein powder.

"Jo started the first Total Drama alliance by convincing Ella and Amy to join forces with her," the host continued over footage of the three campers talking to each other, "while Alejandro began working his charms on the Gophers." The clips of Alejandro doing light exercise and flirting with Amber are shown . " And Lightning thought his protein powder was stolen, but it was under his bunk the whole time." A clip of Scott pushing the canister under the bed was shown. "Or was it?"

"And though he was probably their strongest team member, in the end it was Lightning's unwillingness to admit he was wrong and apologize that got him kicked off." The footage shows Lightning refusing to apologize. "And he wasn't even wrong, right Scott?" A clip of the ginger smirking is shown.

"Who will break the alliance rules first?" Chris said as the camera cut to him walking up the dock. "Will Crimson show any signs of sleep loss? And who will take the next humiliating walk down the Dock of Shame? Stay tuned for the most dramatic Campfire ceremony yet, on, Total. Drama. Island.

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The camera follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zooms out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock as a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

\

The episode begins with footage of Tyler running on the beach. He panted with effort but seemed to be enjoying himself. The camera panned left, showing Alejandro as he ran behind Tyler. Unlike the former,the only sign of the Spainard's physical activity was a light sheen of sweat. The camera follows Alejandro until he reaches the clumsy jock.

"Impressive. I cannot help but admire an athlete who puts his all into improving." The charmer flattered as he slowed his pace to match Tyler's.

"I do my best." The jock replied. He seemed to be unsure of how to react. After all its not every day an attractive man compliments you. The jock decided to quicken his run.

"And it shows amigo. I worry for my own team's chances during the next physical challenge." Alejandro continued.

"You really think I'm that good?" Tyler wondered, he slowing as his energy waned.

"Of course." Alejandro smoothly lied.

(confessional)

Alejandro: Tyler's inability could prove to be his undoing. All he needs is a push.

Static

\

The confession cut to the mess hall where all twenty teenagers were eating what they are told is breakfast but looks like white paste. The Gophers are fine, though Crimson is absent. The Bass on the other hand looked just as bad as they had last challenge, in fact Duncan looked worse.

"Duncan you look like crap dude." Chris said, his voice contained a mocking undertone.

"Stuff it," The delinquent responded.

"Harold snored all night." Kitty yawned.

"Wow," Chris said, "four nights with no sleep? How much are you hurting dude?"

"You wanna find out!" Duncan said irrately.

"No man, it's cool. It's cool." Chris said, his hands held out in a gesture of peace. The door to the lodge opened up to reveal the nerd in question. A chorus of gasps sounded as the camera panned up Harold's lean frame, stopping at his face. The cause of such surprise was a mustache that had been drawn on his face. Jaunty music began to play as Harold stepped in, the screen had a dreamlike overlay as he walked past, to the apparent awe of everyone. A record scratch ends this fantasy as the dweeb sits to the snickers of his peers.

"Okay, what!" Harold demanded.

"Someone messed with your face dude." Geoff told him, more chuckles could be heard in the background.

Harold examined his warped reflection in the spoon. Surprisingly, he seemed almost pleased with the vandalism of his face. "Hey, sweet Stache."

"Hey everyone it's Crimson." Chris announced, clapping. It was likely he was trying to rub salt into the Bass's wounds. It seemed to be working as the Gophers cheered upon her arrival, while the Bass cast them salty looks.

The goth looked no different from normal. Her head held high as she walked, a deadpan expression as usual. It was only when she reached the table that she displayed tiredness, as she faceplanted into it.

The camera panned to focus on Jo, Ella, and three sat together on one end of the Gopher table. Ella looked in rapt attention, while Amy looked bored. "Let's go over the rules one more time," The jockette demanded. "Rule one: I'm the leader so I make the rules. Number two..." She trailed in askance.

Ella answered eagerly.. "Break the rules and you're out."

"Right," Jo smirked. "Finally, no fraternizing with other team. Ella."

"Why call out me?" Ella asked confused.

"I saw you hanging with that Bass girl last night." She accused.

"You mean Dawn? But why ever not?" Ella asked in confusion.

"Because she's the enemy. We can't risk you blabbing something personal." Jo said firmly. The jockette put a finger to Ella's chest as if empathizing the point.

"Alright..." The princess agreed sadly.

(confessional)

Ella: Dawn didn't seem like an enemy, but I suppose Jo knows best.

\

The footage cut to a distance shot featuring the campers on the beach in a small glass box with a simple makeshift court in the center. It consisted of a single red rectangle with a line through the middle and two sets of wooden bleachers each with a team's banner over it.

Duncan stumbled through the door last, as he made his way to the rightmost bleachers and lay upon them. He was clearly exhausted. "Wake me up and it'll be the last thing you do." The delinquent warned his team.

"This is all your fault. I was trying to sleep." Anne Maria accused Harold.

"It's called a medical condition, Gosh!" Harold retorted, offended.

"Let us not point fingers, it does us no good." Xena said flatly.

A shrill whistle comes from off screen. The camera pans right to reveal the source to be Chef wearing a referee uniform. He walked past the campers, and raised an eyebrow, before shaking his head. He stood next to Chris, a pile of rubber red balls to his side.

"Today's challenge is the classic game of dodgeball," the host explained, holding up one of the balls for the campers to see. "The first rule of dodgeball is-"

"Do not talk about dodgeball?" Noah quipped, a few chuckles were had.

"As I was saying, if you get hit with the ball," He spun the ball in his hands and threw it at Anne Maria."You're out."

" Hey watch the hair." She complained, before throwing the ball back to Chris.

"If you catch the ball, the thrower gets sent out and the catcher gets to bring in another team member out on the court." Chris continued to explain as he caught the ball.

"Throwing balls, gee another mentally challenging test," Noah deadpanned.

"You believe this to be mentally taxing?" Xena questioned. Noah looked taken aback.

"Ok now Geoff try to hit me," Chris said as he threw him a ball. He received another ball from Chef.

"If you're holding a ball, you can use it to deflect a ball, but," He explained, purposely dropping the ball in his hands, "if it knocks the ball out of your hands, you're have one minute until game time!" Chris continued, as the camera panned over the contestants. " To make things interesting, both teams will have sit a person out each game."

"Alright,we need to focus on having the best players we can on the court. So stonewall, string bean, you're sitting out." Jo began pointing at Crimson and Cameron respectively. "Tweedle dee, braids, lover boy, and headband you're on the court with me." She continued as she pointed to Amy, Amber, Trent, and Tyler. "Princess, scrawny, and tweedle dumb, you're in reserve, and before you start-" She began as she noticed Noah about to protest. "No matter how bad you are at dodgeball you can't be worse than string bean."

Noah looked to Camron. A butterfly had made it's way into the court and had landed on the bubble boy's head. He was being visibly held down by the weight. "Fair point." He acquiesced.

The music picked up, and the shot switched to Chef overlooking the court. Both teams had five players. Alejandro, Geoff, Kitty, Anne Maria, and Harold for the Bass, and, Jo, Tyler, Trent, Amber, and Amy for the Gophers. Each team had three balls in their half of the court, and everyone else had already taken their seats in the background.

"You're going down fishies." Jo said, engaging in smack talk.

"I wish you all luck, but know that my team shall be victorious." Alejandro returned, his politeness only serving to rile her more.

"Both teams ready!" Chris announced as the camera showed more shots of the two teams putting on their game face. "Best of five games wins! Now," The camera focused on Chris, then zoomed out to a view of the full court. "let's dooooodge some ball!"

Chef blew his whistle signifying the beginning of the game as the bleached campers cheered, sans Crimson, Noah, and Duncan.

Alejandro, Geoff and Kitty each picked up balls for the bass. They each focused on the player opposite them, Jo, Tyler and Trent. Geoff made the first move as he threw his ball at Tyler. The ball flew just wide of its target. Tyler retorted by spinning around in an overly complex throw. The ball hit Ella in the face causing Dawn to glance worriedly in her direction.

"Great job headband now hit their team!" Jo growled.

Alejandro rushed forward, ball in hand. He threw the orb towards Tyler who appeared frozen. Unsurprisingly the well aimed ball hit him in the stomach taking him out immediately.

The camera cut to Chef blowing his whistle as he pointed Tyler out. A scoreboard flashed on the bottom of the screen displaying 4-5 in the Bass' favor. The Bass cheered as Tyler walked to the Gopher bleachers, clutching his stomach.

"Time to unleash my wicked skills," Harold said. He stared Amy in the eye, a ball clutched in his hand.

"Please like you have any skill." Amy retorted.

The nerd ignored her, struck a pose, than immediately threw the ball hard into the floor, where it bounced uselessly over the line. Amy picked up the ball and gave Harold an evil smirk. An oddly high pitched scream flew from the teen's mouth as he ran, to no avail as he was struck hard in the face.

Once again Chef blew his whistle. The scoreboard updated to show the teams on even footing. "See you never loser." Amy taunted only to be hit by a ball from Kitty. The camera cut back to Chef as the scoreboard showed 3-4 Bass.

Anne Maria threw her ball at Trent who managed to catch it, though it was a close call. The camera cut to Chef sending Anne Maria out and signaling Noah onto the court. The know it all sighed as he walked onto the court.

Amber shot her ball at Kitty who dodged, then Geoff sent a ball back towards her. Amber dodged smirking at him. She went to throw her ball at Alejandro but the Spaniard flashed a grin, causing her throw to have less force than she intended. The charmer deflected it, then threw his own, sending the bookworm out of the game.

Jo picked up a couple of balls and threw them at Geoff who was unable to dodge two balls at once. The scoreboard showed the teams tied at 2-2. It was now Alejandro, and Kitty, facing off against, Jo, Noah, and Trent.

"Steady aim lover boy." Jo said as she tilted her head ever so slightly towards Alejandro. The two threw their balls at the charmer simultaneously. He caught Trent's but was hit by Jo's sending one member of each team out. The score was now 1-1.

Kitty didn't look worried despite being outnumbered. She took aim at Noah who dodged. Jo threw her ball at Kitty. She ducked and turned her attention to the jockette. Noah handed his ball to Jo, who readied another throw. The selfie loving girl steadied herself in preparation.

"Selfie's are a derivative art form." Noah snarked.

"Huh?" Jo used the girl's moment of distraction to hit her.

Chef blew his whistle and the scoreboard flashed 1-0. The Gopher's cheered for their victory.

With the bass Geoff had a hand on Kitty's shoulder in comfort. "Don't let Noah get to you girl, your selfies are great!"

"I'm not upset Geoff, I know selfies aren't for everyone, I just didn't expect it." The smile on the Kitty's face confirmed this.

(confessional)

Kitty: It's almost like my sister's here competing with me.

\

The confession cut to the Gopher's at their bench. Despite their victory, Jo was pacing back and forth in front of her team with her brows furrowed. "We may have won people but that was way too close a match! Headband what was that throw? Braids stop getting distracted by that Spanish loser!"

"That was a warm-up throw," the jock said. "I can dominate this game just let me in again!"

"S-sorry..." Amber muttered.

"Whatever, headband I'm giving you another chance, lover boy, tweedle dee, you're going again too. Braids I'm benching you. Maybe you'll think before getting distracted." The jockette turned to Noah. "Scrawny you're going in."

"Jo I'm only good at the dodge part of dodgeball, not sure that's more helpful than a girl who gets distracted by one specific team member." The cynic replied.

"I'd have thought you'd be good at the ball part too." Amy smirked.

"A double entendre at the expense of my masculinity? How original." Noah retorted.

"Scrawny you're not getting out of this. Jo said firmly.

"Can't blame me for trying." The know it all shrugged.

(confessional)

Noah: It would take more effort to argue with Jo than it will to play the game.

Static

\

The camera moves out to a shot of the court as the players waited for the game to begin. The Gopher players were Jo, Tyler, Amy, Trent, and Noah, and the Bass' Alejandro, Anne Maria, Xena, Scott, and Geoff.

The whistle blew, almost immediately Tyler threw his ball, in much the same manner as the first time. The ball hit into Chef. Tyler threw another ball, this one given to him by Noah, it hit into Ella.

The camera focuses off field for a bit as Dawn runs to check on Ella. Her smile brightens as she sees Ella's aura is mostly okay.

Back on the field,Jo threw her ball at Anne Maria. The jersey reject manages to dodge but the ball very nearly hits her hair. Anne Maria, who had previously had no interest in the game, glared at the Gophers. "No one messes with the hair!"

Anne Maria threw her ball with enough force to knock the jockette down. She grabbed Scott's ball and took out Noah. Knowing a good thing when they saw one, Geoff, Alejandro, and Xena, all handed their balls over. The last three members went down quickly. Chef blew his whistle and the scoreboard went from 5-5 to 0-5 instantly.

\

The footage cut to the Bass strategizing. "We may have won the last match, but it was more of a fluke than anything else. We need a strategy." Alejandro pondered.

"Why don't we ask Duncan, he hasn't done anything yet." Scott smirked.

"He's sleep deprived but perhaps we can take inspiration from him?" Ellody chipped in.

"He is a delinquent and bully so that could work. A common strategy used by groups of such people is outnumbering and overwhelming their targets. How this could apply to dodgeball is something I am unsure of." Xena stated.

"I believe I may know how." Alejandro smirked.

\

A Flash transition sent the scene to the third match. Jo, Amy, Sammy, Trent, and Amber made up the Gopher team. While Alejandro, Geoff, Kitty, Xena, and Dawn played for the Bass. The camera panned over the players, then moved back to Chef as he starts the game.

Jo, Amy, Trent, and Amber threw their balls at the Bass hoping for a swift victory. The Bass all managed to dodge the balls. Swiftly Xena gathered the launched balls and threw one to each of her teammates, save Alejandro. A nod from the Spaniard prompted the rest of the Bass to throw their balls at Jo. The jockette, talented though she was, only managed to dodge three of them. The Gopher's stared at their fallen team member not noticing some of the balls rolling back onto their opponents side of the court.

The camera shifted to a view in front of the Bass as they threw four more balls at Sammy. Amy laughed but was hit soon after, followed by Trent and Amber. Chef blew the whistle and scoreboard changed to match the Gopher's overwhelming defeat.

The Bass cheered as they returned to the bleachers. "A good plan Alejandro but we need one more win to secure victory. Should we use the same players, as they are already familiar with the strategy or change players on the chance they'll provide less familiarity?" Xena asked the charmer.

"We'll keep Geoff, myself, and Kitty. Ellody, Anne Maria you come as well." Alejandro ordered.

"As long as they stay away from my hair." The jersey reject agreed.

\

The shot cut to the Gophers. "How are we supposed to combat that? If they win one more we're toast!" Jo yelled.

"I think I have a plan, but it requires teamwork and coordination. So I suggest we leave Complamy and klutzy on the sidelines. " Noah deadpanned.

"Okay, Tweedle dee go get Princess we might need her." Jo ordered.

With a huff Amy stomped towards the Bass' bleachers where Ella was talking with Dawn between games. She rudely hit Ella on the back of the head. "Hey, our 'leader' wants you to get your butt back to the team."

"Oh, yes I should participate shouldn't I?" Ella agreed.

Amy turned to go back to her team. "You shouldn't feel the need to oppress others just because you don't feel like your own person." Dawn said to her. Amy's eyes widened before she resumed her normal scowl. "What do you know." The older twin scoffed.

\

The footage Cuts to the beginning of match four. It was Jo, Noah, Ella, Sammy, and Amber, vs, Alejandro, Geoff, Kitty, Ellody, and Anne Maria. The Gopher's were standing slightly closer together than the Bass.

The whistle blew and the Bass picked up their balls and threw them at Jo simultaneously. Before the balls could reach Jo, the other Gophers, sans Noah, moved in front of the jockette. All four members caught one of the balls. Sending everyone but Alejandro out of the game. With matching smirks the Gophers then used the Spaniard's own strategy against him. Within moments the match was over.

\

The camera cuts to the Gophers. Jo looked everyone over. "Okay, we have to win this last one people. We need all of our best players. Scrawny says they probably won't try that strategy again now that we can counter it. So everyone needs to be at the top of their game because they'll be unpredictable. So Braids, Tweedle dee, lover boy, and princess you're going in." Jo demanded.

"What about me?" Tyler complained.

"Headband you've failed twice. I'm not giving you another chance." Jo insisted.

The Bass were in a circle discussing. "So who's going in?" Kitty inquired.

"I think it's my turn." Harold answered.

"No way, we actually got a chance to win this thing." Anne Maria retorted. Harold gave a sad nod of acceptance.

\

The camera cut to Chris as the music crescendos. "Gophers, Bass! Let's send this sample to the lab, and see whatchya made of!" Chef blew his whistle and threw his arm down as he signified the final game's beginning.

Six balls remained in the center of the court. Jo moved to them first, she grabbed one and threw it towards Alejandro. He dodged and threw his own ball. The footage picked up, Kitty and Geoff were shown being hit, and Amber caught a ball thrown by Anne Maria. Noah took the court and dodged a ball thrown by Ellody. Alejandro caught one ball and dodged another. Sending Amy out and bringing Scott in. The Spaniard managed to team up with Ellody taking down Trent.

Jo threw a couple balls at Xena. She caught one but was hit by the other. Kitty came back on the court. The Gophers shared a look and threw their balls at Alejandro who dodged Noah's, caught Ella's, but was hit by Amber's. The princess stepped out as Geoff stepped in. Amber launched her ball at a distracted Ellody sending her out. The two remaining bass coordinated their throws to take out Amber. Noah somehow managed to catch a ball and sent Kitty out. Jo came back onto the court as Geoff caught a ball thrown by Noah. The party dude let Harold on the court as Jo struck him out.

As the Gopher's noticed the final two they cheered, while the Bass groaned. "Goodbye skinny nerd." Anne Marie quipped.

The camera focused on Harold as he struck a pose, then moved his hand in a bring it on gesture. It cuts to a side view as Jo throws one ball after the other. Somehow Harold managed to dodge all four balls, ducking incredibly low for the last one. Both teams stared in shock as Xena called for a time out.

\

The footage cuts to the Bass as they discuss what just occurred.

"The nerd's got dodge." Anne Maria stated. "Where'd you learn to do that?"

"Figure skating," The geek replied as he spit water at Kitty, completely disregarding the bucket she was holding.

"Harold that was awesome." Geoff complimented. " but dodging isn't enough."

"Indeed. In order to achieve victory you must either throw her out," Xena began.

"Which I ain't holding my breath for." Anne Maria interrupted.

"Or catch the ball."

"Do you think you can do it amigo?" Alejandro asked.

"Definitely." Harold assured as he spit water at Kitty again. "You can do it!" The pigtailed girl encouraged despite this.

The Gophers cheer as Harold returns to the court. A split screen showed Jo and Harold as they stared each other down. The music builds as the Bass chant Harold's name. Jo winds up her throw.

"You're going down nerd." The jockette taunted as she threw her ball. The nerd slammed against the back wall stomach clutched, as he slid down the wall. Everyone waited with baited breath. Harold held up his hand, he had caught the ball.

The whistle sounded as the scoreboard updated to 0-1. The Bass cheered wildly. "The Killer Bass win!" Chris proclaimed. Harold was picked up by his teammates as they carried him out of the court. The camera panned to the Gopher's who looked glum. "Gopher's what happened?"

"They didn't let me play more that's what happened." Tyler burst out. Maybe it was the way they'd treated him or maybe it was Alejandro's words from that morning but for whatever reason Tyler spoke up.

"You were the worst player we sent out!" Jo nearly growled.

"You did worse than I did, seriously how did you manage that?" Noah quipped.

"For once the nerd and I agree." Amy snarked.

Everyone stalked off, leaving Tyler alone and forlorn.

(confessional)

Harold: I guess I'm kind of a role model now that I've won the dodgeball competition. People will probably all want my autograph when this show is over and stuff.

\

The confession cut to the usual elimination opening shot of the Island at night. "Campers!" Chris said as the shot transitioned to the marshmallow tray."You've already placed your votes and made your decision." The shot zoomed to show Chris, then panned over the contestants. Some seemed nervous but no one more so than Tyler. . "One of you will be going home. And you can't come back. Ev-er." The camera cut to Chris again."When I call out your name, come pick up a marshmallow. Jo."

The jockette smirked as she claimed her marshmallow. Chris continued "Noah. Trent." They picked up theirs as well. "Amber." The bookworm retrieved her treat without ever looking up from her book. "Ella."

"I get to stay another day!" The Princess wannabe sung.

"Amy. Samey. Crimson." Each of the contestants were called to claim their marshmallow.. Until only Camron and Tyler remained. "The final marshmallow goes to..." Chris grinned as the music swelled. The shot focused on a nervous Camron, then an even more nervous Tyler. "...Camron."

The bubble boy relaxed and joined the rest of the group. Tyler walked off sadly. Static cut to a close up of Chris clearly edited in after the fact. "Ok, so it wasn't the most dramatic campfire ceremony ever," Chris said. "But I still get paid. Bonus!"

Chapter Text

"Last time, on Total Drama Island!" Chris began, the opening recap started with a clip of a camera taped to a totem pole. "The Screaming Gophers faced another loss to the Killer Bass." Clips of the dodgeball game played, showing all the best hits and throws. "There were bruises, risky moves, and dangerous alliances." Footage of Amy being hit by a ball, the Bass throwing their balls, and Ella talking to Dawn are shown. " and in the end it was Tyler the klutzy jock who was sent home.

"This week," Chris continued over clips of Tyler leaving., "another challenge will send one more camper on a cruise," a sign dropped next to Chris with the boat of losers on it, followed by a clip of the actual boat. , "to Loserville, Population: Four." A clip of Chef blowing the whistle is shown, the camera cuts to a close up of Chris. "Who will sink, and who will stay afloat?," The host gestured up and down then pointed to the audience. "Find out right now, on Total. Drama. Island."

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The camera follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zooms out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock as a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

\

The episode opened with a shot of treetops against the dawn; the camera panned down to the Bass cabin as Anne Maria's voice is heard. "This is awful!" The shot cut to the girls side of the Bass cabin. Anne Maria is looking in her bag clearly upset. "I'm down to seven cans of spray tan already!" She whined.

"Ah yes truly an unfortunate occurrence, though I must ask why you require so much fake tanner?" Xena inquired.

"Are you kidding me? If one of these cans is faulty I need a back up! I mean do you know how hard it is to maintain this perfect tan?" Anne Maria responded.

"As I do not use fake tanner I cannot confirm nor deny your assertion." Xena conceded.

"I rest my case." Anne Maria said confidently.

The scene moves back outside to show a seagull sleeping in its nest in the horn of a loudspeaker. The speaker went off startling the seagull away."Alright campers!" Chris announced, "Enough beauty sleep! Time to show us what you're made of!"

\

The footage cuts to a shot behind the campers who have all gathered onto their team's bleachers in front of a small stage outside.

The camera focused on Trent as Sammy arrived. "Sammy. Saved you a seat." The guitarist said patting the seat next to him. The younger twin blushed as she accepted. Amy glared holes into the back of her head.

. "Welcome to our brand new, deluxe, state-of-the-art, outdoor amphitheater!" Chris said, as the footage switches to a view behind him then back to its former position. The camera zoomed in on Chris as he continued.. "Okay, this week's challenge is a summer camp favorite!" Chris raised a finger for emphasis. "A talent contest!"

"Each team has eight hours to pick their three most talented campers," the host said as the camera showed the camper's excited reactions. Well most of them anyway.. "These three will represent them in the show tonight! Sing, dance, juggle, anything goes as long as it's legal!" Chris gave Duncan a look. The focus switches to a shot of Duncan as he snapped his fingers. Before returning to its previous place.

"You'll be judged by our resident talent scout, former DJ, VJ, and rap legend, Grand Master Chef!" Chris announced in a manner similar to a commentator. The camera zoomed back to his close up as he continued to explain the challenge. "Who will show his approval via," Chris gestures to a spot above his head. "the Chef-o-meter!" A long wooden spoon appears on top of the screen, the top part is a picture of Chef and the handle has nine markings on it equally spaced from each other. "The team that loses will send one camper home tonight. Good luck!"

A flash transition brings the scene in front of the Gopher cabin. Jo blows a whistle bringing the group to attention. "Alright, I'm taking charge of this challenge, unless one one of you objects?" The jockette announced looking each camper in the eye as if daring them to object.

"I think Jo's a good leader!" Ella beamed.

"Better her than me." Amber shrugged.

"I couldn't care less." Noah deadpanned.

"Great." Jo smirked. "Everyone shows their talents, no exceptions. So who's going first?"

\

The shot quickly panned over to the Bass outside their own cabin. Alejandro stood in front of them flashing his charming grin. "Alright amigos if you believe you have a talent present it to the group and we can all decide."

"I can read tarot cards." Dawn said calmly.

"That may be too long of an act." Ellody stated.

"True, but I figured I'd offer." Dawn replied.

\

The camera focused back on the Gophers. Almost everyone looks bored. Jo herself has almost drifted off. She brought herself back to awareness as Camron finally finished.

"And that is why Insects are an important part of an ecosystem." The bubble boy concluded to lackluster applause.

"Okay we're not doing that." Jo said flatly. "Next."

\

Back with the Bass Anne Maria had stepped up to show her talent. She simply stood in front of the group as her teammates waited. After about twenty seconds one of them broke.

"Okay, you can start now." Kitty encouraged.

"Start what?" The Jersey reject asked.

"Showing us your talent dude. " Geoff answered looking at her in confusion.

"I've been showing my talent." Anne Maria said.

"Really? And what exactly is your talent?" Scott scoffed.

"Being beautiful obviously." The Bass, save for Alejandro and Xena, groaned.

"You are lovely, but it is the kind of talent that should not have to be shown." Alejandro flattered.

"You're right hot stuff people already know I'm beautiful." She agreed.

"Yeah if you're into Oompa Loompas." Scott whispered to Xena.

"I have not heard of such a creature. What are they like?" Xena asked. Scott facepalmed in response.

\

The music became peppy as Sammy did several cartwheels and a handspring before doing one last flip landing on her feet. The younger twin looked on worriedly as Jo considered.

"I think the routine is okay, but your confidence is lacking. Tweedle dee show me what you got." Jo said as she blew her whistle.

Amy smirked and began her routine with several front flips as she chanted. "Gophers, Gophers we are great, the Bass are so last rate," She cartwheels into a handspring. "Gophers, Gophers we're the best, the Bass are nothing but a pest." She stops and does some simple cheer steps. "Gophers, Gophers we all pass unlike those dirty stinking Bass!" She ends by doing the splits. "Go Gophers!"

"Alright now that's what I'm talking about. You're in tweedle dee. Between you and lover boy we've got two acts. Everyone take five but I want you all back in an hour." Jo ordered.

Amy looked from her position on the ground towards Trent, only to find the guitarist hadn't been watching as he was engaged in a conversation with Sammy.

"I think you did great, Jo's just picky." Trent encouraged.

"Do you really think so? I'm not sure..." Sammy whispered looking at the floor of the porch. Trent cupped her chin bringing the sweet twin's eyes to meet his. "I am." The younger twin blushed. The camera cuts back to Amy glaring.

(confessional)

Amy: Trent is like so out of Samey's league. So why's he like her and not me? This is so unfair! There has to be a way to get his attention.

static

The confession cut back to the Bass outside their stared at Harold in disbelief. A few moments passed before the team applauded.

"Dude your beatboxing is awesome!" Geoff complimented.

"Harold that was amazing." Kitty exclaimed.

"I believe we are all in agreement. Harold our first act." Alejandro stated. "Next,"

Ellody adjusted her glasses and stood before the group. The genius cleared her throat and began. "Pi is equal to 3.14159265358979-"

"While that is impressive I'm not sure it's what we're looking for." Alejandro interrupted. "It is meant to be a show."

"I see, understandable not everyone appreciates mathematical complexity was well as I." Ellody agreed.

"We face a similar problem with my own talent. My ability to recite facts from memory is hardly a spectacle." Xena stated.

"Very well. Next."

\

The scene cut to Ella as she watched the Bass. She was looking at Dawn in particular using the break as an opportunity to learn more about her.

"Getting dirt on the Bass Ella?" Jo's voice was heard as the wannabe Princess started.

"Oh um yes I was just checking out the competition, no other reason to be here, nope." Ella lied looking guilty.

Jo raised an eyebrow. "Really? What have you found out?" The jockette challenged folding her arms and tapping her foot as if waiting.

Ella frantically tried to think of something she'd seen. "They've only got one act so far. I don't know who it is but that means we're ahead right?"

A tense moment passed as Ella grinned nervously, Jo looked at her skeptically at first then slowly relented. "Fine. " Jo stalked away not noticing Ella sigh in relief.

\

The scene transitioned to a shot of a couple clouds over one of the cabins. Geoff entered the scene on a skateboard. he rode the skateboard on top of the cabin, did a trick off the building landing out of frame. The camera cuts to a ground shot of a stump near the cabin while Scott, Ellody, and Kitty watched. Geoff rode in from the right side of the shot, up the front of the stump. Where he stopped and flipped the board into his hands.

The Bass cheered as Alejandro approached him. "Very impressive amigo, I think speak for us all when I say you should represent our team." The charmer turns to the group. "Any objections?" A hearty cheer was his response. "So it's Harold's beatboxing, Kitty's posing, and Geoff's skateboarding."

"I'm gonna be on TV, man!" Geoff exclaimed

The camera panned to Kitty who was laughing. "But we're already on TV."

"Oh yeah!" The party guy realized as the camera panned back to him. He ran close to it. "Hello out there, dudes!" He greeted.

\

The footage skipped to the Gophers yet again. Amber seemed to be finishing her talent, as she was playing a small flute like Instrument in a rendition of Loch Lomond. As she finished there was polite applause. Jo wasn't impressed.

"We already have lover boy playing an instrument braids, I'm pretty sure Chef would prefer the guitar over the flute." Jo said flatly.

Amber glared at the jockette. "It's a piccolo."

"Whatever. Same thing." Jo shrugged.

"No it's not. The pitch and playable notes as well as the overall sound quality are different. To say the piccolo and flute are the same is like saying the violin is the same as the viola." Amber complained.

"I don't care." Jo brushed her off. "Next."

Noah sighed and stepped to the front. He began to speak in prose.

"I heard a Fly buzz - when I died -

The Stillness in the Room

Was like the Stillness in the Air -

Between the Heaves of Storm -

The Eyes around - "

"Okay, I've seen enough next," Jo dismissed.

Another Skip forward showed Crimson standing before the group eating a hot pepper with a straight face. Many of the Gophers looked on in concern, some even seemed to be feeling the effects secondhand. She swallowed without trouble.

"You call that a talent? I can eat food." Jo scoffed.

"Then why don't you try one?" Noah deadpanned offering one of a few peppers.

The jockette took the challenge eating the pepper in a single bite. She chewed and swallowed. She waited a moment, then smirked. "See it's not even that hot!" She said smugly.

"Wait for it." Crimson stated.

It was then the spiciness of the pepper made itself known. Jo gasped and began to cough. "My throat burns." She rasped. "I need water."

"You need milk." Crimson said flatly. "I told Chef I needed some for my act." The goth offered the white beverage to the jockette. Jo took it sighing with relief as she drank.

"Okay, I think we have our third act. Be prepared for tonight people." Jo ordered softly, her throat still sore.

\

The scene cuts to Amber sitting on large stump by herself. She is playing Loch Lomond on her piccolo clearly enveloped in the music. She finishes the very last notes only to receive applause. The camera zooms out to show Alejandro clapping.. Amber jumped, startled the expression on her face slowly transformed into a blush a she realizes who has interrupted.

"Oh it's you." Amber stuttered staring at her feet. "Did you want to sit here, because um, I can leave..."

The charmer shook his head. "I was drawn here by your music Chica. It is not often I hear the piccolo."

The bookworm looked at him in surprise. "You know it's a piccolo?"

The Spaniard smiled. "Si, for how could I mistake the sound for any other instrument?"

Amber sighed. "I know, but no one else seems to notice. Jo called it a flute earlier and didn't care when I tired to explain the difference."

Alejandro placed a hand on her shoulder causing the brunette's blush to deepen. "Pay her no mind. She simply doesn't understand the intricacies of such things."

"N-nowadays no one seems to. I love old music but whenever I try to tell people they call me a hipster. I'm not, I think there's good new music. I just don't think people should forget the older stuff." Alejandro remained silent as though waiting for her to continue.. "I know its weird. I'm not really into technology and I tend to worry too much. I just wish I was better with people."

The charmer looked into her eyes. "You underestimate yourself Chica. You are a very charming woman. If people do not see that they are blind." He paused a moment as though considering something." Perhaps you could play for me sometime."

Amber nodded. "I-I'd like that."

He stood up. "I'm afraid I must return to my team. I bid you farewell."

(confessional)

Amber: That went well, a little too well. You know like when you're watching a romance and you know you're supposed to be invested, but you can't seem to because it all feels so... orchestrated. Well that's what my brain is telling me. That said my emotions and hormones are totally into it.

The confession cuts to Sammy and Trent outside the Gopher cabin as Amy watches them.

"Sammy, you wanna sit by the lake?" The guitarist asked, a genuine smile on his face.

"Sure! I mean if you really want to." Sammy blushed as the two walked off. Amy glared after them then smirked.

\

The scene cut to some of killer bass waiting on stage. Geoff rolled one of the wheels on his skateboard idly, Harold practiced as Scott observed him, Anne Maria, Kitty, and, Xena played cards.

"Shouldn't you two be practicing your acts?" Scott asked Geoff and Kitty pointedly."

"Scott I pose for selfies all the time," Kitty chuckled.

"Yeah chill dude, it's all good." Geoff replied.

Scoffing, Scott returned to watching Harold.

(confessional)

Scott: My team has a pretty good line up, but there has to be a way to screw it up.

static

The confession cut to an outdoor shot of the Island, panned past the Gopher cabin and beach, and stops on a shot of the dock the campers had first arrived on. Trent and Sammy sat side by side, their legs dangled off the side.

"I know I shouldn't let Amy get to me, it's just when you hear something enough times you start to believe it. You know?" Sammy confessed. "It's like she just tears me down, and no one seems to care." She looked at Trent. "Well almost no one."

It was then they were interrupted by Amy. The mean twin was in her red bikini, treading water as she approached the dock, a sultry smile on her face. "Hi Trent." Amy whispered lowly. " I was just going for a swim, want to join me?"

The guitarist gave her an uncomfortable smile. "I uh don't have a swimsuit." Trent excused.

Amy swam closer, the grin on her face grew devilish. "Who said you needed a swimsuit?"

At this Sammy stalked off a sad look on her face. Amy grinned in triumph but frowned as she saw Trent running after the younger twin. A scowl settled on her face.

\

The scene cut to outside the Gopher cabin. Noah and Crimson sat on the front steps, the former read, while the latter simply sat in silence. The comfortable silence is broken by Crimson's monotone voice.

"So that poem you were reciting earlier?" The goth prodded.

"You mean I heard a fly buzz - when I died? It was written by Emily Dickinson, not my favorite work of hers, but I needed something of a decent length. Why, do you want to find it for yourself?" Noah deadpanned not looking up from the book he read.

There was silence for a moment before Crimson began to speak again. :

"I'm nobody! Who are you?

Are you nobody, too?"

Then there's a pair of us - don't tell!

They'd advertise - you know!"

Noah set his book down and joined her. :

"How dreary to be somebody!

How public like a frog

To tell one's name the livelong day

To an admiring bog! "

Yet another moment of silence as the two took in the event. When it was broken it was by Crimson once again. "I'm familiar."

(confessional)

Noah: You know, I didn't think there'd be someone I enjoyed being around when I signed up for this. It's an odd feeling.

Static

Crimson: Noah has a degree of natural apathy I admire.

static

The confession cut to some time shortly before the competition. The participants practiced backstage save Amy who sat on the edge of the stage. The older twin looked put out, something that was clearly noticeable, as Alejandro approached her.

"You appear troubled amiga, is there anything I can do to help?" The charmer pushed smiling comfortingly.

"it's Trent. I've been trying to get him to notice me all day. It's like he doesn't even see me! He's too busy talking to Samey." Amy admitted angrily.

The Spaniard smirked. "I see, it is a shame he cannot see you are the superior twin."

Amy smiled at the affirmation of her own belief. "I know right! It's like he can't see how much she sucks."

Alejandro furrowed his brow as if in thought. "Perhaps there is a way to show him how much you like him while simultaneously showing him how much worse your sister is."

Amy looked down at the pom poms in her hands. An evil smirk began to grow on her face. "Thanks Alejandro I know just what to do now."

"I'm happy to have helped." The charmer grinned.

(confessional)

Alejandro: She makes her downfall all too easy.

static

The confession cut to a spinning sunburst pattern in yellow and orange, the team logos spun into view upon it. "It's the TDI Talent Extravaganza!" Chris' voice overlaid, as the logos slammed into each other in a shower of stars. The effect cuts to a distance shot of Chris on stage, much like the shot from earlier except this one was at night. The non-participating members of both teams sat in their respective stands.

"Welcome," Chris began as the camera shifted to a view behind his head, and across the audience."to the very first Camp Wawanakwa Talent Contest," The view cuts to a close up of Chris as he points at the camera for emphasis. "where six campers will showcase their mad skills, and desperately try not to humiliate themselves." The shot zoomed out as Chris gestured behind the curtain. "First up for the Screaming Gophers, Crimson."

There is a brief cut to the Gophers cheering on their teammates, sans Noah and Jo. The focus returns to the stage as Crimson steps on expressionless as usual. The goth wordlessly pulled out the pepper. She ate it slowly allowing the juice to work its spiciness on her throat. All the while her face was emotionless. Eventually she swallowed.

The Gophers cheered.

"Okay that was spicy." Chris punned as he walked onstage. "And it looks like Master chef agrees!" The host says as the Chef-o-meters appeared on screen, the first seven sections lighting up in green.

The Gophers were briefly shown cheering before the camera switched back to Chris again. "First up for the Killer Bass Make some noise for selfie girl Kitty!" The Bass are shown cheering as the curtain behind lifts up once again. Kitty has her back to the audience as a spotlight turns on her.

Music begins to play as Kitty turns flashing a smile as a camera sound effect goes off. She turns and winks at the camera holding up a peace sign. She bends down and blows a kiss to the audience. She turns her back to the camera giving a saucy over the shoulder smirk, before turning back a haughty expression on her face as she ended the routine.

(confessional)

Kitty: And you said posing for selfies had no practical use. Well shows what you know Emma!

static

"Girl you've got some moves." Chris smirked as he came on stage. The host put an arm on Kitty's shoulder as the Chef-o-meter appeared a second time, registering a six. The bass cheered as Kitty returned backstage. "So, with two down and four acts to go, the Screaming gophers are screaming ahead. Next on-deck, Trent! Take it away my bro." He raised his hand and backed off the stage.

The view goes to close of Trent. ""This one goes out to someone special here at camp." Trent begins to play his guitar as the shot zooms out revealing him sitting cross legged on a short stool. He starts to sing. (same tune as his canon song.)

I know I like you,

and I think you like me too

but it would seem you have low self esteem ( the camera shifts to show Sammy smiling a light blush on her face, before shifting back to Trent.)

So I want you to understand, that I just don't agree

I don't think you're subpar,

I like you for who you are.

The song finished and, as a light round of applause came from off screen, Chris stepped out the stage. "Nice work," The host began as he placed a hand on Trent's upper back. "I'm liking your style dude, and so does Grandmaster Chef." The Chef-o-meter fills to a full nine points. Trent waved awkwardly at the camera. "Alright quit hogging my light buddy." Chris said as he rudely shoved the guitarist offstage. "Three down, and three to go, and the Killer Bass are gonna need to up their game if they want to win. Let's hear it for Geoff.

The party boy rode on stage rad music accompanying him. He began to pick up speed as he moved. He heelflipped offstage landing it well, he turned around and grinded across front of the stage. He kickflipped off into a manual and turned to wink at Kitty. He stopped manualing turned around built up some speed and jumped back on stage. He rolled to a stop and kicked the board into his hands as the Killer Bass applauded.

"Dude those were some rad moves, and it seems Grandmaster chef agrees. " Chris announced as he stepped on Chef-o-meter registered a seven. "Anywho, We'll take a quick break, and then see if the last to contestants can win it for their team."

A simple black and white animation of a man ironing a shirt, and his hand, in front of a rabbit ear television set was shown as a means of transition.

(confessional)

Scott: Okay this cutting it way too close. Harold's act is really good but I think I know how to avoid full points.

\

Scott approached Ellody. "Hey, you're good with tech right?" The deviant asked.

The genius nodded. "Indeed, what is your purpose in asking me that?"

Scott rubbed the back of his head sheepishly. "I think I broke the speakers, I was just trying to go backstage and wish everyone luck."

Ellody nodded again. "I'll see what I can do." She and Scott went backstage to the speaker. The genius examined it then smiled. She knelt down and plugged the speaker back into the extension cord. "There, next time try checking the plug first."

As the genius left Scott smirked and turned the volume as far right as possible.

\

"Welcome back to the TDI Talent Extravaganza!" Chris' voice overlaid the same 'clashing logos' animation that had opened the contest. Indicating the end to the break.

"Welcome back!" The host repeated. "The Gophers hold the lead with Trent's love , without further delay, here she is for the Gophers, Amy."

Amy stepped on stage to scattered applause. "Originally I was going to do a cheer about how much better my team is then the Bass. Instead I've decided to celebrate a certain teammate." Amy smirks as she begins her cheer holding up her pom poms.

"I think Trent is the best, he has caught my interest." At this point Amy begins making her arms in the shape of letters. "T-R-E-N-T Trent's the boy for me."

Amy turns and gives a sassy grin hands on her hips. "Trent's so cute, smoking hot, everything that Samey's not." Amy begins to make letters again. "T-R-E-N-T, Trent's the boy for me."

Amy smirks at her sister as the camera does a quick pan between them. "and I think we can both agree, that you would rather be with me. T-R-E-N-T Trent's the boy for me."

At this Amy grins cruelly at her sister. "So come on face reality, he doesn't like you Samey!" Amy finishes with a flip as Sammy runs off crying.

A quick cut to backstage reveals Kitty and Geoff looking on. "That was harsh Dude." Geoff commented. "Yeah seriously." Kitty agreed.

The camera cuts back to Chris' close up. "That was savage! Let's see what Grandmaster chef thinks." The Chef-o-meter flashes six.

"Only six points!" Amy said angrily.

"He probably deducted a point or two for that off rhyme at the end, now get out of my shot!" The host demanded. Amy reluctantly went backstage.

"Well then, it's down to the final act of the night. Can Harold and his beatboxing turn it around?" He holds a finger up for emphasis. "I seriously doubt it. Let's find out."

As Harold walked on stage he stood before the microphone. He began his beatboxing only for the loud piercing sound of feedback to fill the air. Everyone held their ears as Chris yelled for someone to turn the speakers down. All who were present sighed with relief as the shrill sound stopped.

Harold began a second time. He Started with a very simple beat consisting of a few sounds. Slowly he began to add other sound effects, eventually including words. The sounds merged together into a smooth if somewhat repetitive cacophony. He ended by say "Boo-yah."

The Gopher stood in awe but started to cheer in spite of Harold not being from their team. Noah even clapped which as like cheering considering it was him. Alejandro, Kitty, and Geoff were shown cheering backstage.

"Wicked beat boxing dude!" Chris begins as the Chef-o-meter flashed an eight. "Unfortunately that feedback at the beginning was enough to bring you down to eight. So it looks like the Screaming Gophers have trampled the Killer Bass."

"And as for the Killer Bass," Chris addressed the losing team. All of whom looked disappointed at how close they were. "Pick you favorite loser, and I'll see you at the bonfire."

\

The confession cut to show Scott on the steps to the Bass cabin with Geoff, Kitty, Harold, and Anne Maria. "You know I saw Ellody near the speakers before Harold's act."

"Really? But she seemed okay." Geoff frowned.

"Yeah but we don't know much about her." Anne Maria argued.

"It could have been an accident." Kitty replied.

"I just don't want to be voted out." Harold sighed. Scott smirked in response to the confusion.

(confessional)

Scott: Well we won't be voting Harold out, but we still lost. Whatever how many mad skills could the geek have?

"Kudos to you all for an incredible night of entertainment!" Chris's voice overlay the shot of the island at shot moved show Kitty and Geoff holding marshmallows already."Music, Drama, hot peppers," the camera panned over the Bass showing Alejandro, Harold, Duncan, and Anne Maria had also gotten their marshmallows. It cuts to Xena as she received her own symbol of immunity."There is only one marshmallow left on this plate."

The shot cut to Ellody and Scott by the campfire, Scott smirked confidently, while Ellody just seemed confused but accepting." Ellody, you were seen touching the speakers before Harold's act. Scott you just haven't done much. Either of you could go home, but in the end the final marshmallow goes," He paused as the camera focused on the ball of fluff."to Scott."

A quick pan over the rest of the Bass showed indifference. "Time to catch the boat of losers." The camera followed the genius as she walked down the dock.

(confessional)

Jo: I know she's in my alliance for elimination fodder but if I let her get away with this she won't listen to me.

static

The confession cuts to a shot of Jo as she leaned against the side of her cabin. "Brooding isn't a good look for you." A droll voice said from off screen. Jo turned her head and sighed. "What do you want scrawny?"

Noah smirked as he moved in shot. "I just wanted to see how you were handling the insubordination of your alliance member."

Jo raised an eyebrow. "How do you know we're in an alliance?" She tested.

"You're about as subtle as a brick to the head, soaked in kerosene, lit on fire. " The nerd deadpanned.

"So what? You want in?" Jo scoffed.

"I'll pass but if you need another vote let me know, I'll think about it." The cynic snarked began to walk away. "By the way I heard Harold brought a red ant farm." As Noah stepped off screen Jo smirked.

\

The scene cut to a distance shot of the cabins as Amy screamed shrilly. The mean twin ran out of the cabin flailing her arms. The camera focused in on Amy as she slapped her head trying to rid herself of bugs. She tripped and the camera cut to show Noah in bed smirking as Amy's screams continued in the background. "Ah the sweet sounds of catharsis."

Chapter Text

"Last time, on Total Drama Island!" Chris began the recap. The footage started with the same crashing logos used for the talent show portion of the last episode. "A talent contest brought out the worst in our campers," The host's voice overlayed shots of the campers seated in front of the stage, Crimson eating the pepper, and Kitty's saucy over the shoulder pose. "In the best way possible of course."

"The killer Bass had a great line up." Harold is shown beat boxing." Which was bad news for team saboteur Scott." Scott is shown examining Harold. "Samey and Trent started getting closer," A clip of Sammy and Trent talking is shown. "So Amy tried impress Trent by doing a cheer complimenting him, and insulting Samey, with a little prodding from Alejandro." Clips of Amy doing her cheer were followed by Alejandro talking to her. "But thanks to Scott the Bass lost and Amy was safe." A clip of Scott messing with the stereo was shown. "In the end Ellody was voted out after Scott mentioned seeing her by the speakers before Harold's act.."

"Who will be the next one to walk off this crappy dock?" Chris asked as he walked down said dock. "Find out tonight, in the most dramatic marshmallow ceremony ever! On Total. Drama. Island."

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode began with a pan from the sun, down to a distance shot of all the remaining contestants and Chris around the campfire pit. "Campers," Chris said as the camera cut to a closer view."today's challenge will test your outdoor survival skills."The camera panned left over the campers, then cut to a close up of Chris. "I'm not gonna lie to you, some of you may not come back alive!" He continued gesturing for emphasis.

Sammy, Camron, and Ella were shown gasping, their pupils contracted in fear, on the Gopher's side of the pit. Noah rolled his eyes."Just joking!"Chris laughed, holding his hand forward to back this up."All you have to do is spend one night in the woods."The camera panned over the Gophers again, a little over half were relieved while the rest were impassive."Everything you need is at your team's campsite in the forest, you just have to find it." He tossed a map and compass towards each team, Jo and Alejandro caught them respectively.

"Oh, and watch out for bears. Lost a couple of interns in pre-production." Chris informed them callously as the campers started to get up. "First team back for breakfast wins invincibility!" He sets off an airhorn and waved the teams off."Well, off you go!"

"Did he say there'd be bears in there?" Anne Maria asked incredulously.

"Of course not, because sadistic reality TV hosts would never endanger their contestants." Noah sardonically replied.

"Oh, you wanna go you little twerp." Anne Maria replied. She approached the nerd angrily her hands ready for a tussle, as Noah remained unmoved. Before she could do anything Alejandro stepped between the two placing an arm around the Jersey reject.

"Pay Noah no heed, If there are bears within these woods I assure you I would never let a beauty such as yourself be hurt." The charmer told her.

"Your right I shouldn't give this twerp the time of day." Anne Maria agreed.

"Hey scrawny get over here, or we're leaving without you!" Jo hollered as the rest of the team headed off.

\

The Gopher logo appeared in the upper left corner as the camera panned down. The gophers were walking down the trail, with Jo in the lead and Sammy notably behind. Trent backtracked to walk alongside her. "Can I walk with you?"

"I guess," the younger twin sighed. She walked with her head hung in despair.

"Look if you're still upset about that cheer..." Trent trailed. Sammy did not respond.

\

A flash transitioned to the Killer Bass, the scene focused on Xena and Alejandro. The former whispering to the latter.

"Last challenge Trent received no feedback during his talent, meaning the speaker volume must have changed between his talent and Harold's. While a malfunction in equipment is possible we cannot disregard the possibility it was intentional." Xena hypothesized.

"You believe there may be a saboteur among us?" Alejandro questioned.

"I am merely suggesting the possibility." Xena replied.

"Is that not why Ellody was voted out?" The Spainard asked,

"Indeed. However I find the idea of Ellody sabotaging her own team to be implausible, as she is a logical person and logically there is not merit in it. In addition the use of the situation seemed opportunistic, and Ellody seemed incapable of doing anything without planning it out first." Xena explained.

"True." Alejandro noted

(confessional)

Xena: While I do not understand Alejandro's actions. He is still the most influential member of the team. If anyone can help me discover if there is someone interfering with our team's ability to win, it will be him.

static

The confession cut back to the Gophers. The shot focused on Amy itching her arm as Jo watched. "Ugh I can't believe Samey, acting like the victim when I'm the one suffering."

Jo rolled her eyes. "Get over yourself tweedle dee, it isn't that bad."

Amy glared at The jockette.." You put ants in my bed!"

"And you put a target on your back with your little stunt last challenge." Jo glowered.

"So what? Samey was asking for it." Amy said vindictively.

"Your focus on your sister is gonna get you kicked off! Princess back me upon this."

The camera panned to show Ella as she skipped along the trail and hummed, she took no notice of Jo whatsoever. The camera cut back to Jo looking unamused.

\

Another flash signaled return to the Bass. Scott was talking with Dawn. "I'm just saying if Anne Maria sprays that hairspray around the animals, won't that make them sick?"

Dawn frowned "Perhaps I should ask her to refrain from spraying her hair during the challenge."

"If you think that'll work," Scott replied a look of faux worry on his face.

The camera followed Dawn as she walked to Anne Maria who was already in the process of spraying her hair. "Anne Maria do you think you can stop using your hairspray while we're around these animals?"

Anne Maria glared. "Just because you're ugly doesn't mean I halfta be. You can just stay up on your high horse cause I ain't stopping just cause we're in the middle of nowhere."

The Jersey reject stormed off in a huff as the camera focused on Dawn looking on in concern.

\

The scene changed to the top of a large deciduous tree, then panned down to reveal the Screaming Gophers in a clearing with camping gear. Amber was studying the gear worriedly.

"I don't see any food?" Ella said curiously.

"This is a survival task, look at the instructions." Trent replied casually looking at a piece of paper, presumably the mentioned instructions.

"This is just like Hansel and Gretel except there's no evil witch in the forest." Ella beamed.

Jo rolled her eyes and read the instructions. "It says we're supposed to find our own food."

"I still don't see it!' Amy scoffed in confusion.

"Oh yes, because I forgot about the Prepackaged food indigenous to the woods." Noah snarked.

"Whatever someone needs to find us food. Who wants to collect resources?" Jo asked stopping the argument before it could start.

"I would! My animal friends will help me!" Ella exclaimed before she pranced off into the forest.

"Samey go with her! " Amy demanded. Sammy sighed and followed Ella, too upset to argue.

"I can catch fish." Cameron, Amy, and Trent jumped as Crimson's monotone voice joined the conversation. They'd forgotten she was there.

"I'll go with her." Noah added.

"Scrawny, you're actually gonna do something?" Jo replied in a mocking tone.

"Don't read too much into it, I just wanna get away from all of you." Noah smirked. He and Crimson took their leave.

"Alright the rest of you help set up camp!" The jockette demanded.

"Jo I feel like were dangerously unprepared. There's no bug spray, medical kit, or rain gear. I guess Chris didn't think they were important enough." Amber said worriedly.

Jo rolled her eyes. "We'll be fine, and why would be need rain gear? It's summer." The jockette stomped off to set up the tent.

Amber frowned. "It could still rain!"

\

"It seems we must provide our own food. Does anyone know how to forage?" Alejandro questioned as he looked over the instructions.

"I have been requisitioning blueberries since the beginning of the season. I had to find something to make up for the inadequate nutrition within the food provided by Chef." Xena responded.

"I am also good at gathering berries." Dawn offered.

"Impressive, I leave our meal within your capable hands." The charmer agreed. "Everyone else set up camp."

\

We return to the Gophers, the five teens who had not gone looking for food sat around the clearing, waiting for food to arrive.

"Ugh, what is taking so long! I'm starving!" Amy griped from her position near the fire.

"It hasn't been too long, it can take hours to find food in the woods." Camron commented.

"We're back, we found enough berries for everyone! Now our job is done!" Ella sang as she entered the clearing with a sack of berries, behind her Sammy wordlessly trailed, a similar sack in hand.

"Finally! I knew Samey would slow you down! " Amy yelled.

"Don't you think your cheer last challenge was torture enough?" Amber idly commented as she turned a page.

"You're just jealous my talent was chosen over yours flute girl!" The older twin scoffed.

Amber slammed her book shut loud enough to hear. "It's a piccolo!"

"Where are scrawny and stonewall?!" Jo wondered angrily. "They'd better not be lost or I'll make sure they're voted off next!"

"Glad to see you have such faith in us." A voice deadpanned. The camera panned to reveal, Noah and Crimson the latter carrying a few fish tied up.

"What took so long?" Jo asked.

"We ran into a rotting deer carcass on our way back. Crimson wanted to observe it." Noah deadpanned. Many of the gophers recoiled.

"How can you say that with a with a straight face?" Cameron asked, looking a little disturbed.

"What's a carcass?" Ella questioned.

"It's a de-"Noah began,

"It's not important." Sammy said, putting a hand over the cynic's mouth before he could crush Ella's innocence.

"Okay, I hope Crimson enjoyed the deer's company." The princess wannabe replied.

"Trust me I did." The goth said, almost smiling.

"Alright enough about stonewall's weird habits. Let's eat!" Jo said, putting the conversation to an end.

Noah walked over to where Amber sat. "So what's eating you?"

"Nothing." The burnette replied a little too quickly.

"Look I can tell the difference between someone who's reading for leisure and someone who's trying to distract themselves." Noah pointed out.

"And why do you care anyway?" Amber asked.

"It's better than helping Jo cook the fish," Noah admitted.

Amber could see the jockette cursing out the fire as it began smoking. "Okay. well I feel unprepared for this. Every other challenge has been pretty straightforward, and controlled. Here in the woods anything could happen and I don't feel like we have enough preparation. I can live without bug spray or rain gear but the lack of a med kit really does worry me." The bookworm admitted.

"You jumped off a cliff." Noah pointed out.

"Yeah, spur of the moment, in a controlled environment with a medical tent on standby." Amber replied.

"I'm just saying if you can jump off a cliff you can do this too." Noah said. "Besides," he smirked. "If someone does get injured it'll be an excuse to vote them out." Amber gave him a horrified look. "It just a joke lighten up."

Amber sighed. "I'll try…"

\

The camera cut back to the Killer Bass, their campsite in the process of being set up. Alejandro had set a fire, Kitty and Geoff worked on setting up the tent, and Scott was trying to get Anne Maria to put her hairspray away.

"I'm telling you that can is dangerous out here." Scott said.

"And I'm telling you I ain't putting it away. My hair needs maintenance." The Jersey reject argued.

The camera panned to Kitty and Geoff who had just finished setting the tent up. "Hey you're pretty good at this outdoors thing." Geoff complimented.

"Are you implying that's unusual for a girl?" Kitty smirked, an eyebrow raised.

Geoff's eyes widened as he backpedaled. "What no, what I meant to say was-" To his surprise Kitty laughed.

"Don't worry, I know you're flirting with me, You were just so nervous I had to mess with you." Geoff looked relieved. "I don't know if I like you yet, but I'm not against the idea." She flirted back.

"How did you know?" Geoff asked.

"When love is in the air, I know it. I have a super sensitive love detector. Some stuff is easy, like Trent and Sammy, or you liking me. Other stuff is more difficult like the fact that someone has a crush on Dawn." Kitty explained.

"That's wicked cool."

Geoff: That saves me a lot of embarrassment. I wonder who likes Dawn?

"I have brought provisions." Xena announced as she entered the clearing with a large bag of blueberries. Everyone immediately perked up though Alejandro still looked concerned.

"Where is Dawn?" The charmer questioned. As if in answer the moonchild appeared holding her own bag of berries. She silently placed them down, then returned to the woods around them. The Bass looked on in confusion as Dawn returned. "I apologize for the delay but I found an animal that cannot live without help." The camera zoomed on the grey bunny in her arms, it coughed.

Duncan approached with a smirk on his face a finger held up in thought. "Well I've never had rabbit stew before but what the heck, I'm game."

In response Dawn glared at him and drew the bunny closer to her. "I brought him to be my companion not for you to eat!"

"I'm sure it will be very happy with you chica." Alejandro schmoozed.

"Just keep that creature away from me." Xena stated her eyes slightly wider than normal.

"Whatever, can we get to eating now?" Anne Maria demanded.

The footage cut to a close up of four fish hanging over a campfire. The light had clearly dimmed indicating a passage of time. The scene zoomed out to reveal the Screaming Gophers gathered around the campfire. The camp had been set up and Jo appeared to be taking stock of the situation.

"Alright, we have a fire, the fish are cooking, the tents up, and everyone is present." The jockette confirmed.

"Nice going guys, fish looks awesome." Trent complimented gesturing towards Noah, Crimson, and Jo.

" Whatever it wasn't hard." Jo dismissed, as the other two looked on impassively.

"So, how did you learn to fish?" Trent tried to provoke conversation again.

"I've read fishing books, don't know how Crimson learned, and good luck getting her to tell you." Noah replied, pointing at the stoic goth beside him. She did not answer.

(confessional)

Trent: Well so much for starting a conversation.

The confession cut to a shot of Ella sitting with Sammy a determined expression on her face. Sammy was looking at Trent and sighing. "Sammy you need to go after your prince." Ella told her.

"What's the point? Amy likes him, how do I even have a hope compared to her?" Sammy said discouraged.

"Sammy, your prince likes you, he's been reaching out to you all day." Ella encouraged.

"I don't know, once Amy wants something she usually gets it." The younger twin replied playing with a pebble near her feet.

"You can't give up!" Ella proclaimed. "If Cinderella had stayed in her room, she'd have never gotten her prince! If Belle had given up on the Beast she wouldn't have found out how sweet he could be. If Rapunzel had told her man to go away instead of taking a chance she'd still be in that tower and what if the queen had just given her baby to Rumpelstiltskin? You can't stop trying, or you'll lose your chance!" Ella grabbed her hands and point to Trent. "Now go to him!"

Sammy blushed as Ella pushed her towards Trent. Then with a determined look in her eyes she walked to Trent and sat next to him."Is this seat taken?" She tentatively asked. The guitarist simply smiled. "Of course not."

\

A Flash transitioned the scene to a shot of the moon in the sky. The camera panned down to reveal the Killer Bass seated around their own fire, their tent set up as camera zoomed in to focus on Dawn and Anne Marie the latter of which jumped at the sound of an owl hooting.

"There's no need to fear, it is only an owl." The moonchild comforted.

"And that's what concerns me, what if it gets caught in my hair? I've heard of birds nesting in people's hair." Anne Maria retorted.

"I think even owl's have standards." Scott mocked as he chomped on a dirt clod. The camera panned over Alejandro, who looked as though he may barf, to Duncan.

"This reminds me of this really scary story I heard once." Duncan baited.

"Awesome tell it man!" Geoff exclaimed.

"Are you sure, because the story I'm thinking of is pretty hardcore." The delinquent baited further.

"I find the idea of fear is subjective. Do you truly believe your story would scare the entire group?" Xena questioned.

"Alright, but don't say I didn't warn you. One night a lot like this one..." Duncan began.

The scene cut to the sky to indicate a passage of time. Duncan's voice overlay the scene as he continued the story. '...So suddenly they heard this tap-tap-tapping on the side of the car." The camera panned over six bass as most of them listened in rapt attention. The exceptions were Xena who remained stoic, Dawn who meditated, and Alejandro who seemed bored.

"The girl started to freak out and by this time even the guy was getting a bit scared. So he turned the car on and he stepped on they got back to the girl's house, she open the door and screamed." The camera switches to Duncan's close up. "because there hanging from the door handle..." The Camera switches to a terrified Kitty's close up." Was the bloody hook," a close up of a scared Geoff is shown, followed by a scared Harold,then ending on Duncan. "They say that this killer is still alive, wandering these very woods. He could be anywhere really, maybe even right HERE!" At here Duncan brandished a hook, intense music played as the camera zoomed in on the object.

Kitty jumped into Geoff, Anne Maria, Harold, and Scott jumped behind an unamused Alejandro, Dawn continued to meditate and Xena showed no reaction. The delinquent laughed creepily at his prank. Alejandro approached Duncan and glared. "Are you quite finished terrifying the majority of our team?"

"Yeah, that was hilarious though, I just wish it was all on camera. Oh wait! It is!" Duncan taunted.

"Please I wasn't scared, I just jumped to get closer to hot stuff." Anne Maria tried to convince.

"I could not find myself scared, as the number of lapses in logic and happenstance required for such a thing to have happened are implausible at best. " Xena deadpanned.

"You don't have to act out in defiance of your strict upbringing." Dawn told him.

"You don't know what you're talking about." The delinquent protested. As the group argued the camera zoomed in on Scott picking up the can of hairspray dislodged from Anne Maria's hair when she'd jumped.

(confessional)

Scott: I was going to steal it from her as she slept but this was lucky.

static

The scene cut back to the Gophers who sat around the campfire doing their own thing. Amber and Noah were reading, Ella was talking the ears off her uninterested alliance partners, Cameron was studying the fire in fascination, Trent and Sammy were talking, and Crimson was just sitting. A rustling bush brought everything to a standstill.

"What was that?" Camron asked in fear.

"Didn't Chris say there were bears?" Amber gulped.

"Tch, it's probably just Chris trying to scare us," Amy scoffed. The mean twin had to eat her words as a large brown bear entered the clearing growling. "Everyone to the trees!" She yelled running up as fast as she could. The other Gophers followed suit.

\

A cut to bass started with a shot of the tent, before it cut inside where most of the Bass lay awake. Dawn, Xena, Alejandro, and Duncan were the only ones asleep. Scott squirmed a bit. "I gotta pee." The deviant said as he left the tent. He moved towards the forest, as he reached the trees he smirked.

"Goodbye Oompa Loompa." He whispered as he smacked the can of hairspray until he was sure the valve was loose. He aimed at the campfire and threw it before walking further into the woods. The camera followed the can of hairspray as it landed just outside the fire. A whooshing sound was heard, followed by a jet of flame burning the tent to cinder. The Bass were unharmed but angry.

\

Another cut took the scene back to the Gophers. They were all holding onto the tree for dear life, all except Ella that is. Everyone yelled for the wannabe Princess to get away from the bear. Far from being frightened, Ella smiled at the bear and sang.

"My dearest animal friend, to you I'll kindly tend," Ella grabbed one of the fish and threw it to the bear. " There's enough fish to share, so please mister bear, kindly take your leave." The bear sniffed the fish, looked to a smiling Ella and grabbed the meat lumbering away.

Everyone stared with their mouths wide open.

(confessional)

Camron: How is she doing that? Is she singing at a certain pitch?

Static

Jo: I wonder how we can use this to beat the Bass.

Static

Noah: Well that just happened.

The confession cut to the Bass as Xena approached the fire. Upon inspection she found the can of hairspray and carefully moved it away with her foot. She turned to the group. "It seems Anne Maria's hair product is the source of the issue."

"What happened to the tent?" Scott asked as he returned to the group.

"It seems Anne Maria's hairspray set the tent on fire." Alejandro said a bit too calmly.

"Nice going! Now we have nowhere to sleep! I told you that can was dangerous!" The ginger blamed.

"Yo drama queen relax it's cool." Duncan said.

"Actually Duncan I concur. We have no shelter, things are pretty grim." Alejandro agreed.

"Well yeah but things could be worse." Kitty tired to parlay. That was when it started to rain.

"Kitty, I believe conditions are now worse." Xena deadpanned.

\

The music became low and dangerous as shots of the two groups were shown weathering the storm. First the Gophers going into their tent, and then the bass trying to crowd under a large leaf held by Alejandro.

The scene faded into a shot of the sun rising. Birds chirped as the camera panned down to show Amy as she exited the tent smirking. She opened the flap wide to let the sun in. Everyone groaned as the light entered the tent.

"Rise and shine everybody!" The mean twin called with false sweetness.

"Tweedle dee is right! Get up!" Jo ordered. The jockette exited the tent, followed by a line of sluggish Gophers, and Crimson who looked normal.

"Let's move we're not letting those fishes beat us!" The jockette shouted as everyone ran off.

\

A quick cut to the Bass showed the teens sleeping outside, then the camera zoomed in on Kitty cuddled between Geoff and Alejandro. The latter male awoke and noticed the time. "Everyone get up! We must make haste if we wish to beat the opposing team!"

Xena awoke to find Dawn's rabbit near her. She jumped back. "Dawn I believe I told you to keep this creature away from me." She said flatly. The moonchild scooped up the rabbit as everyone began to leave.

(confessional)

Kitty: I woke up next to two hot guys today. So even if the team loses I'd call this a win.

static

The music signaled rising tension as the footage skipped to a shot of Chris prodding the campfire pit with a stick his back facing the camera. He turned around as the camera zoomed out to show the Screaming Gophers were arriving.

"Yes we made it first!" Jo cheered.

Seconds later the Bass arrived. "They beat us here!" Alejandro cried.

"Maybe if we'd have been able to sleep we wouldn't have slept in! This is your fault!" Scott yelled at Anne Maria.

"Or maybe my team is just better than yours." Jo said smugly looking at Alejandro.

The camera switched to a smiling Chris."Alright, Killer Bass! One of your fishy butts is going home!" He turned to the other team. "Gophers! You're going on an all-expense-paid trip to," The music swelled in anticipation,"the Tuck Shoppe!" The sound of a cash register opening sounded as the Gopher's ran off to claim their prize. The Bass gasped and turned to glare. Some at Duncan, and some at Anne Maria.

\

The background music began a hip hop tune as the camera showed the screaming Gophers partying outside the cabin. Noah sat on the porch, a rare smile on his face. "Who knew being deprived of good food would make something as bland as salted chips taste good?"

"Would you like a chocodile Amy?" Ella offered. The older twin scoffed.

"How about no." Amy deadpanned.

"Hey as long as we won I don't care!" Jo smirked "The Screaming Gophers rule!"

\

The scene shifted to night as the elimination ceremony was heralded by foreboding music.

"You've all cast your votes," Chris began as the camera moved into his usual close up."The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately hit the Dock of Shame, grab the Boat of Losers," his brow furrowed as he gestured to the dock for emphasis."and get the heck outta here! And!" He lifted finger for dramatic tension before he tapped it upon his makeshift podium."You can't come back. Ever."

The shot switched to the bleary eyed Bass as the host continued to speak."Now, I can see you're all tired, so tonight," the camera switched back to Chris at his podium marshmallow in hand."I'll just throw them to you. Savvy? Alejandro!"

The bottom two campers were shown again. Anne Maria idly buffing her nails while Duncan sat hand in head."Duncan!" The delinquent smirked as he caught his marshmallow.

"You're all just jealous! I don't need you!" Anne Maria proclaimed. As she continued to rant Chris snapped his fingers prompting Chef to pick the Jersey reject up and throw her over his shoulder. As he walked to the boat she kept ranting.

"I'm too fabulous for this show anyway! You're all a bunch of hacks!" Chef threw her onto the boat and it drove off.

(confessional)

Xena: I am now certain one among us is a saboteur. I believe it may be Scott but currently have no way to confirm this. I will take note of his actions, both previous and current, and report the findings to Alejandro when I know were are in secrecy.

Chapter Text

"Last time, on Total Drama Island!"

The recap began with a pan down to the Gopher's at their campsite, followed by a shot of the Bass setting theirs up."The campers had their survival skills put to the test when they spent the entire night camping in the woods." Clips of the highlights were played as Chris spoke of them," Duncan's mad ghost story telling skills freaked out the Killer Bass." The host chuckled. " Ella somehow saved her team from a bear through the power of song. Scott sabotaged the Bass by setting their tent on fire using Anne Maria's hairspray. Which really sucked for them. Then it , no one got any sleep last night. Ultimately, the Killer Bass were on the chopping block leaving Anne Maria without a marshmallow."

After Anne Maria was shown being thrown onto the boat, the camera cut to a close up of a pile of wood being poked with a stick."Yup, the challenge was rough alright," Chris was shown to be the one holding the stick."and if I have anything to say about it, today's will be even more brutal." The music swelled as the camera zoomed out to show a full body shot of Chris hitting the stick against his left hand."Luckily, I do. What fresh horror have we planned for our campers? Find out next, on Total. Drama. Island."

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode began with a distance shot of the Killer Bass around the campfire. The camera zoomed in on the disheartened Bass.

"Two challenges in a row man. I mean it's not the end of the world but it sucks that we're the first team to do so." Geoff said as he picked the fire with a stick.

"Yeah but it was bound to happen sooner or later." Kitty agreed.

"Cheer up amigos it is only one more loss than the Gophers, the game is far from over!" Alejandro encouraged.

"Sulking will do us no good. Now if you'll excuse me I am going to retire in preparation for our next challenge." Xena deadpanned leaving the group.

The camera focused on Scott and Harold as the former glared off screen. "What do you want?" Scott asked.

"Come to rub your victory in our face?" Duncan nonchalantly asked, as the viewpoint moved to show the Screaming Gophers had come to the fire pit. Sammy was holding a plate of green gelatin filled with apple slices.

"We got some extra dessert after our tuck shoppe party, thought you might want some." Trent offered.

"Well that is thoughtful of you." Alejandro replied his tone confused.

"Actually," Noah admitted, "Princess's animal friends stunk up our cabin."

"I warned you the skunk was temperamental." Ella said a nervous tone in her voice.

"So we're letting it air out because even you stink less." Jo joked.

Sammy went to give the Bass the gelatin, Amy smirked and tripped the younger twin sending the dessert in Ella's direction. The Princess wannabe screamed as she ducked out of the way. The dessert landed on the ground ruined.

"What are you on a diet or something?" Duncan asked his unibrow raised.

"No..." Ella whispered. "I am simply terrified of apples."

"Hey, I get it," Kitty comforted. "I'm terrified of my selfies being deleted."

"Really? Apples and deleted selfies?" Scott scoffed.

(confessional)

Noah: So out of nowhere unprovoked, everyone starts having a "share fest" by the fire. During a competition, how dumb is that? Camron wouldn't stop talking about his arachnophobia. Harold's afraid of ninjas, even Jo admitted to being afraid of getting stuck in a mascot costume. Apparently its the worst position on any sports team.

Static

The confession cut to the campfire pit, the Gophers were shown sitting around the campfire with the Bass.

"I'm afraid of heights, and Amy..." Sammy trailed.

"Which is why we failed the first challenge! Her stupid fear got us a loss!" Amy complained.

"Yeah, W-well you're scared of balloons." Sammy shot back.

(confessional)

Amy: When we were kids mom threw a birthday party. Some of my friends were playing monkey in the middle with a balloon, and Samey, but she was totally playing it wrong. She kept running back and forth between them. You never win that way, so being the amazing person I am, I pushed her out of the way to show her how its done. I jumped and squeezed the balloon to me. It popped in my face. So yeah I'm scared of balloons but it's Samey's fault!

static

"My biggest fear is female praying mantises, because they decapitate and eat their mates, but I'm also scared of being unprepared, and misinterpreting romantic advances." Amber shuddered.

"I hate mimes like a lot." Trent said casually.

"Enclosed spaces, we got locked in the cellar during a tornado." Scott justified.

"I'm scared of hail," Geoff confessed as the camera cut to him. "it's small, but deadly, dude!"

"Leather, it reminds me a beautiful animal is dead." Dawn shook her head.

Crimson said nothing prompting Dawn to answer for her. "Crimson is afraid of being seen without her wig and makeup." If Crimson was upset by this revelation she did not show it.

"Why would I tell you my fear?" Noah deadpanned as the camera panned to him.

"Come on dude, we've all confessed!" Geoff encouraged.

"Yeah, because you're all dumb." The nerd smirked. "Tell you what, get Duncan and Alejandro to tell their fears and I'll tell you mine."

Alejandro smirked. " You are in for a long wait amigo as I fear nothing!"

"Bologna." Duncan said through a fake cough.

"Really? Then what is your phobia amigo?" Alejandro confronted.

Duncan's eyes widened as the camera panned over all the other campers each one looking at him. "C-celine Dion music store standees." He muttered.

"Excuse me? I didn't hear that. Could you repeat it?" Jo taunted.

"Dude did you say Celine Dion music store standees?" Trent grinned.

"What's a standee?" Ella asked.

"You know that cardboard cut out thing that stands in the music store." Trent answered still grinning.

"Don't say it dude."

"Kind of like a life sized but flat Celine." The guitarist continued.

"So if we had a cardboard standee right now?" Noah smirked glancing the delinquent's direction.

"Shut up! What about you guys." Duncan demanded.

"I'm not saying anything until Al tells us his fear." Noah repeated. The Spainard winced.

Everyone turned to the Spaniard who sighed. "I am afraid of snakes."

The contestants turned to Noah. The cynic turned to Dawn. "Not that I believe in your aura thing, but you are good at reading people, think he's telling the truth?"

The moonchild shook her head. "No, he's afraid of humiliation." The Spaniard scowled at this.

"Judging from your reaction I'm guessing she was right." Noah thought a moment. "Outside of things that can kill me?" He questioned, the group nodded. "I'm not really scared of them but I hate being around idiots." Jo and Amy rolled their eyes and the footage cut to just after sunrise.

/

The camera zoomed towards the mess hall as a whistle sounded, a cut into the hall revealed Chris to be the source of it. "Campers!" The host announced with a game show like tone, the shot centered on his back.. "Your next challenge is a game I like to call 'Phobia Factor'! Prepare to face your worst fears!"

"Worse than Chef's sucky cooking?" Jo snarked.

"And here I thought this show was above psychological torture." Noah deadpanned.

"Now, for our first victims!" Chris continued as the camera cut to a shot of him next to the door. The host took out an index card and read it quickly."Samey! Meet us all in the theater, it's time to reach new heights!"

The younger twin's eyes widened, her pupils contracted, and her food fell out of her mouth. As Trent tried to calm her, the host looked towards the Bass. "Scott! You, me, a coffin sized box..." Chris trailed a knowing look on his face.

"Wait, how does Chris know that?" Kitty questioned.

"We told him last night." Duncan facepalmed.

"At the campfire..." Kitty gasped in realization. The footage flashed back to Kitty's confession of her fear of deleted selfies.

"Wait they were listening last night?" Ella asked.

"Well of course," Noah smirked. "Why do you think I worked so hard to reveal Alejandro's fear? I figured it'd be worth giving them something on me, if I got him to give his fear."

"Chef Hatchet!" Chris called. "Didn't you have a special order for Amber here today?" The huge cook gave a sadistic grin as he fried something. He thrust the frying basket at the girl with a very small object in it. A suspiciously praying mantis shaped thing.

Amber shook as she tentatively picked the battered thing out. The scene flashed back to show Amber admitting her fear. The bookworm slowly bit into it and a praying mantis popped its head out prompting her to throw it out the door.

/

The scene cut to Chris standing in front of a kiddie pool with the campers around it. The camera panned over the Gophers most of whom were confused, or bored. The clip of Sammy revealing Amy's fear was shown. The camera panned over the Gophers, showing Ella smiling encouragingly, before ending on a terrified Amy.

The twin seemed scared, then she glanced at her sister and a look of determination came over her face. She jumped into the pool balloons popping as she landed on them, the girl screamed but managed to remain inside. Her teammates cheered as she earned them a point"And Amy sets the bar way up there!"

Crimson was shown next, sitting on a stool in the mess hall as Chris removed her wig and an intern washed her makeup off. Her fear was shown in flashback. The removal of the goth's wig, makeup, and contacts unveiled a very different looking person. She had ginger hair in short pigtails, blue eyes, a perky nose, and normal skin tone. The goth looked terrified.

Jo was next her portion beginning with a flash back to Noah's confessional. It cut back to the present where Jo , already wearing the body, had the head of a giant mouse costume placed on her. "Isn't that supposed to be -" Noah began, before Chris put a hand over his mouth. "We don't have the rights."

The next clip was Harold, in a bathroom stall reading a book. A noise is heard as the nerd looks about in suspicion. Ninja's come through the ceiling as he opens the stall. He glances around as the ninja's jump from their hiding place. Harold pulls out a nunchuck and begins a convoluted series of motions. The ninja seem impressed until he hits himself over the head and falls into the toilet. Christ voice overlay a few seconds after that. "Well he did try to fight them." The Bass received a point.

Next was a pan over the Screaming Gophers as they watched Camron take his turn. The bubble boy stood nervously before he turned around and ran away screaming in a high pitch. Chef came after him wearing large pink spider costume with purple spots. After he was off screen, Jo facepalmed.

"Samey stepped up to the plate scoring the Gophers their second point on the board." Chris explained over footage of Sammy nervously walking a tightrope. The twin cheered with her team as she reached the other side.

The montage paused, as Chris smirked at Noah. He pulled out a pair of handcuffs placed one end on Noah, and called Chef. The nerd's eyes widened as the camera panned to show Chris placing the other end on Lightning.

"Wasn't he voted out?" Noah said nervously.

"Yep, but we brought him back just for you!" The host taunted.

The jock frowned. "When I heard there was a challenge I didn't it would be being handcuffed to nerd girl." He scoffed. Noah's eye twitched.

Chris grinned. "Six hours starting now! If you want out let me know."

(confessional)

Noah: It's gonna be a long six hours.

The confession cut to a shot of the contestants on the beach. Scott had been placed in a glass box about the size of a coffin.

"Alright Scott, you have to spend five minutes in this box, who wants to watch him?" The host asked.

"I will watch him," Xena deadpanned, "Worry not my associate there is adequate air for an hour."

"As long as she decides to let you out." Chris teased.

"Not funny." Scott retorted as the box was sealed.

(Confessional)

Xena: I realized I may have jumped to conclusions regarding Scott, I was distracted. Last night I compiled a list of suspects, I have narrowed it down to the three I believe to be most likely. Scott is still my primary suspect, if only because he came out of the forest just after the tent burned down. Therefore my primary objective is still observing him.

The footage cut to the campers at the amphitheater. Amber stood on stage next to a glass jar on a log. The camera zoomed in to show a praying mantis inside. Amber shuddered and her confession of fear played.

"Come on Amber you can do it!" Sammy encouraged. Both the insect and girl looked at each other. The mantis moved its mandibles and Amber flinched.

"Just touch it it's a bug!" Jo demanded.

Trembling Amber reached towards the jar. Her hand drew closer and closer to the mantis. She was mere inches from touching it when it moved its mandibles again. The girl screamed and ran off stage.

Chris came onto the stage. "Well Amber didn't get a point, let's see if Dawn does better." The moonchild walked on stage. The host pulled out a leather wallet. "All you have to do is touch it."

Dawn shook as she tried to reach towards the wallet. She moved her hand forward, then withdrew it. She tried a second time. Then a third just as it looked like she'd be unable to do it a voice was heard from the crowd. "You can do it Dawn!" The moonchild turned to see Ella cheering for her.

"Princess what do you think you're doing?" Jo yelled, "She's on the other team!"

Ella ignored her smiling at Dawn. The girl took a deep breath and touched the wallet. "And Dawn ties it up!" The host announced.

The camera cut to a close up of Trent in the stands. The guitarist was tapped on the shoulder by a gloved hand. "Jo you can stop poking me." He grumbled. He was tapped a second time. "Cut it out!" Then he was tapped again. Angrily the guitarist turned ready to give Jo a piece of his mind. Then he saw it was a mime, screamed loudly, and ran away the mime following.

The scene cut to later in the chase. Trent and the mime ran past the mess hall. Chris and the unoccupied campers standing outside. "Just talk to him brah and ask him to go away." The host called through a megaphone.

"Okay then we've got two minutes till Scott's done," the host said as he checked his watch. "Kitty, your turn." The host smirked as Chef took the selfie lover's phone away. "All you have to do is let Chef delete some of your selfies."

The cook opened her photo app and moved his finger towards the delete button, a nasty grin on his face. Kitty bit her nails as she watched. Just before Chef's finger reached the phone, she dove to him and moved it out of the away holding it close.

"Well there goes another point for the Bass." Chris grinned.

/

The camera cut to the beach as Trent's head poked into frame. As the guitarist looked about, a white glove 'pulled' the mime onscreen. The guitarist spotted his foe and ran. The mime followed. He glanced back and the mime tipped its baret in greeting. The guitarist, seeming to realize his attempt was futile, skid to a stop. The mime followed suit and began to act as though caught in an invisible box.

"There's no wall there man, stop being creepy!" The guitarist exclaimed. His foe paid him no heed.

The music picked up as Trent gasped, frantically looking for a way to escape. The camera cut to the lake and back to the guitarist's close up.

/

Duncan's admittance to a fear of Celine Dion music store standee was shown, before the camera panned over the Bass and Chris. Duncan stared down a standee a terrified look on his face. Kitty stood next to him.

"You're a tough guy Duncan you can do this!" Kitty encouraged.

The camera cut to the standee, panned up it, then cut to Chris. "Just one hug and you're done." The host said, snapping his fingers.

A shot of Duncan, Kitty, and the standee in the background precluded the delinquent's line. "That looks really real Kit kat." He gasped.

"It is only cardboard amigo! You can do it!" Alejandro prodded.

The camera cut back to Duncan and Kitty. "Don't feel pressured to do it. If you do it, do it for you." Kitty smiled emphatically.

Duncan stared at the standee a scared look in his eyes. A quick cut to the standee and back to Duncan revealed Kitty cheering him on. The delinquent took a deep breath ran forward and hugged the standee as celebratory music played. The bass cheered as the score flashed 2-3.

"That was awesome!" Kitty cheered.

Duncan stood in shock as the realization came over him. "Hah! I did it!" He cheered. The music cut out as his team surrounded him continuing to congratulate him.

The Gopher logo appeared in the upper left corner of the screen as the footage cut to Trent. The guitarist ran down the dock, his foe following. He kept from the dock into the lake. The mime stopped and began his impression of being trapped in a box yet again.

The camera cut to Trent surfacing, a cheer on his lips. "What's the matter mime? Can't swim?" He taunted.

At this prompt the mime took a deep breath and prepared to dive.

"Stop!" The guitarist exclaimed as the camera cut back to him. "Your makeup will run."With a nod the mime walked away sadly. "Take that you makeup wearing freak!"

The camera followed the mime as he walked past a clapping Chris. "Well played Trent." The host said, shuddering at the mime. Just then a timer went off. "It looks like Scott's succeeded as well." The camera cut to Xena letting Scott out as the board flashed 3-4.

(confessional)

Scott: I was gonna throw my challenge, but I couldn't do it with nosy Nellie watching. Trust me this is one challenge that would be easy to throw.

The confession cut to Geoff sitting on a beach chair, adjusting his hat. The clip of Geoff's fear was shown. The flashback cut to the sun. Dramatic music swelled as a cloud covered the sun, a quick cut showed the clouds shadow slowly move over Geoff. It paused and the party dude opened his eyes, a shot of the cloud covering the sun followed. The cloud unleashed hail over him and the shot changed to reveal the cloud was small and hailed directly over Geoff.

The party dude ran, flailing and screaming, in an attempt to get away. The camera panned to show Chris ,sitting in his own chair, was controlling the cloud. Noah stood near the host still handcuffed to Lightning. A smirk played over his face.

"Hey, can you make the cloud go lower and pelt him harder?" The nerd deadpanned.

"Dude you are sick, but yeah." Chris replied. Geoff runs by arms flailing the cloud covering his head now.

"Sha dang, you are cold girl." Lightning told Noah whose eye twitched again. Crimson came into the shot, still out of her wig and makeup. The nerd greeted her.

"So how's your challenge going?" Noah asked.

"Terrible, people either don't recognize me, say I look weird,or worse say they like me more this way." The goth sighed. "I wish people didn't care. I wish I didn't care."

"I don't." Noah deadpanned.

Crimson blinked. "You don't care that I look like this?"

"Crimson no matter what you're still the same dead-eyed, darkness loving, antisocial freak." Noah smirked.

The goth did something she had never been seen doing, she smiled.

(confessional)

Crimson: That's the nicest thing anyone has said to me.

The confession cuts back to the amphitheater. Everyone was watching as Alejandro came on stage wearing a chicken costume.

"All you have to do is dance the macarena while bawking like a chicken until the song ends." The host started the music. The Spaniard scowled and began doing as he was requested. The camera panned to the audience Jo, Amy, and Noah all looked at each other and smirked. The camera cut back to the Spaniard who seemed to be struggling.

"You look ridiculous!" Amy called. Alejandro slowed but continued dancing.

"Nice dancing Alechicken!" Jo taunted. The charmer's scowl deepened.

"Sha loser!" Lightning unwittingly joined in. The Spaniard glared daggers.

"Just remember no one who watches this will ever let you forget it Al!" Noah heckled. Alejandro threw the head of his costume to the floor and stomped off in anger.

"It looks like your Alefailure now!" Chris laughed as the charmer glared. "By the way, Noah, Jo, and Crimson your time is up!" The score flashed 6-4

"Finally!" The jockette yelled, removing her costume's head. Chris unzipped her and she threw the costume to the ground stomping on it.

Chris unlocked the handcuffs. Noah smirked as he turned to the jock. "I heard Jo say she was better at swimming with sharks than you." He lied.

"No sha way! Lightning will show him!" The Jock proclaimed as he ran off screen. Duncan smirked as he entered the scene. "Bet you five bucks he doesn't survive."

"I'll take that action." Noah replied.

(confessional)

Lightning (battered and wearing torn clothes): Lightning always wins! (He falls over)

Static

Noah: it was petty but so, so, worth it.

The confession cut to the campers, and Chris, surrounding a table in the mess hall. Ella sat at the table a nervous expression on her face. Chef set down a covered dish in front of her. "Enjoy your meal Ella." Chris smirked as chef removed the cover dramatic music played as the camera zoomed in on its contents, a shiny red apple. Ella took one look at the fruit and passed out.

"Well it looks like we've lost for the third time in a row..." Kitty sighed.

"Not necessarily, we have one last challenge." Chris grinned. Everyone turned to Xena.

"I was not at the sharing of information." Xena flatly remarked.

"You didn't need to be," the host replied. "We're always watching you and your reactions. In fact you revealed your fear last challenge." A clip from the previous episode was shown.

Xena awoke to find Dawn's rabbit near her. She jumped back. "Dawn I believe I told you to keep this creature away from me."

Xena nodded as she remembered. "Regardless it does not matter, the score is currently 6-4. My point will not make a difference."

"Let's make this interesting then. I'll give you triple points if you complete it." Chris smirked.

"What! That's not fair!" Jo complained.

"Fair shmare. Well Xena?" The host asked.

"That would be enough points to achieve victory. Very well then." Xena motioned.

"Dawn." Chris asked. The moonchild stepped forward with her rabbit.

"You're scared of bunnies?" Scott mocked.

"I am not scared of the rabbit. I am scared of the adverse reaction my skin will have should it come in contact with the rabbit." Xena explained.

"What?" Geoff said scratching his head.

"She's scared of the allergic reaction her skin will have if she touches it." Alejandro clarified.

"All you have to do is touch it." Chris said.

Xena approached the rabbit. She bit her lip as she slowly reached towards it. The camera cut to Noah and Io wearing matching smirks.

"Can you imagine having a skin allergy?" Noah began.

"Yeah imagine red blotches covering you. Itchy, scratchy, red blotches that spread if you irritate them." Jo continued.

"Your attempts to physiologically undermine me will not succeed." Xena stated, she reached forward and touched the rabbit. The bass cheered as the score flashed 6-7.

"The Bass win in a come from behind victory!" Chris announced.

\

The usual music played over the nighttime shot of the island. A cut closer was followed by a pan down to the marshmallow plate atop a log. Only two bits of immunity remained."There are only two marshmallows left on this plate," Chris said as the camera zoomed out to reveal Amber, Ella, and Cameron without marshmallows.

"The three of you did not complete your challenges today," Chris continued the camera focused on the three. Cameron and Ella looked nervous but Amber was reading. "One of you is going home tonight and cannot return. Ev-er." The host smiled. "The next name I'm gonna call..." The camera showed each of the campers' faces as the host paused. "is Ella." The wannabe Princess was shown smiling as she ran to receive her treat. Cameron began to visibly shake while Amber merely turned a page.

"The final marshmallow of the night goes to..." Chris began Amber held out her hand in expectation. "Amber!" The book worm caught her marshmallow.

"Well I lasted longer than I expected." Cameron smiled. "Good luck guys." The bubble boy walked to the boat.

(confessional)

Amber: Jo told me she, Amy, Ella, and Noah were all voting for Camron because of his weak body. Add my vote and that's five of nine. I had nothing to worry about.

Static

Ella: I don't care what Jo says. Dawn is sweet and kind. I feel lighter than air around her. It's almost like she's my- (her eyes widened) I have some thinking to do…

Chapter Text

"Last time on Total Drama Island!" The usual recap begins with Chris announcing the challenge, Scott being sealed into his glass box, then Amber and Trent confessing and facing their fears. "The competitors were forced to conquer their deepest, darkest fears. Not all of them succeeded," Geoff trying to run from the hail cloud was shown."but others surprised the group and faced their fears head-on;" clips of Amy, Sammy, and Duncan completing their challenges were shown.

"In a shocking twist," Xena is shown accepting Chris' deal and then facing her phobia. "Xena faced her fear for which she was rewarded triple points, giving the Bass a one point victory."

"And despite Ella failing against her ridiculous fear of apples." The clip of Ella fainting is shown. "It was Camron who got the boot." Highlights of Camron's elimination are shown. "With both teams even who will be the next to lose?" The camera cut to Chris on the dock. "What did Ella realize last challenge? Find out today, on Total. Drama. Island."

The episode began with the camera panning over the teams starting with the Bass. "Bass, Gophers!" The host started as the camera halted on a back shot of Chris next to an easel. "Today's challenge is a true summer camp experience: a canoe trip!" He turned as the shot zoomed out to reveal the beach. Eight canoes were already upon it, four red, four green.

"So seven challenges into a summer camp themed reality show and this is only the third challenge that would actually be done at a summer camp? Way to be on brand." Noah interrupted.

"You'll be paddling your canoes across the lake," Chris continued ignoring the comment."to Boney Island!" He turned back to the campers and proclaimed their destination in a creepy manner, wiggling his fingers for emphasis. He gestured to the map upon the easel. "When you get there, you must portage your canoes to the other side of the island." The camera focused on the map which had a skull shaped marking next to an X at the top. A red dashed line outlined a path to that other side of the island stopping at another red X.. "Which, is about a two-hour hike through treacherous, dense, jungle!"

"We've gotta por-what?" Geoff asked, scratching his head. Kitty giggled as Xena raised a disbelieving eyebrow.

"Are you that dense?" Noah quipped.

"Por-ta-ge," The host enunciated using air quotes. The party dude stared at him blankly.. "Dude, walk with your canoe!"

"Oh..." Geoff said from off screen as Chris winked at him.

"When you arrive at the other end of the island," The host resumed. "you'll build a rescue fire that will be judged by me!"The camera panned over the Gophers some seemed hesitant while others just looked bored.. "The first team to paddle home and return their canoes to the beach is the winner of invincibility!" He gestured behind him in a get moving way. . "Move, campers, move!" He exclaimed as the teens stampeded around him.

"Oh, wait!" he called to them, the campers halted in reaction. "One more thing I should mention! Legend has it, if you take anything off the island, you'll be cursed forever!" The host said giving a creepy tone to the last words.

The campers were shown gaping, save Noah and Crimson the latter of which looked excited. "Curses don't exist." Noah rolled his eyes.

"Noah shut up or I'll give your team a penalty." Chris snapped. The cynic looked to be about to retort, but a glare from Jo stopped him.

"Now!" Chris continued, "Get in your canoes, and let's have some fun!" He smiled as the campers headed off.

\

(confessional)

Amy: Chris said to choose a paddle partner. So I'm taking Trent. Five minutes alone with me and I could show him how much better he could do.

A romantic tune played as the camera panned over the beach stopping on Trent and Sammy. The former looked back to the latter much to her surprise. The guitarist inclined his head towards the canoe. The younger twin smiled, right before getting ran over by her older sister.

"Trent! You'll come with me right?" Amy said hugging the guitarist as she fluttered her eyelashes. The guitarist frowned. "Actually I was gonna-" he began.

"Sammy I must speak with you!" Ella said a pleading look on her face as she grabbed the sweet twin's arm with a sigh Sammy agreed.

Trent slumped. "Fine." He said shortly as Amy grinned.

(confessional)

Amy: Yes I'm so getting him! (her eyes widen as she realizes how desperate she sounds.) Not that I actually like him of course.

static

Trent: Amy? She seems to really like me but I can't get over how she treats Sammy.

Static

Amy: I only want him because Samey does! Okay!

Static

Trent: I have to go with Sammy on the way back.

Noah and Crimson were pushing their boat into the water. Well Noah was trying to push at least. Meanwhile Jo was stuck with Amber.

\

The logo of the Killer Bass appears in the upper left corner as the camera cuts to the Bass partnering up. Kitty and Geoff had partnered, as had Duncan and Harold. Scott approached Xena. "You want to partner with me?"

"No, " She said shortly. "Alejandro would you care to accompany me?" Xena called to the Spaniard who smirked back.

"It would be my pleasure." Alejandro said with a delicate kiss to her left hand. The right was covered in bandages due to her skin rash.

"I guess it is you and I Scott." The moonchild stated.

"Fine with me." Scott replied frowning at Xena and Alejandro on the beach ahead. The camera followed Dawn and Scott as they walked past them. Xena fastened her lifejacket and a look between the schemer and her confirmed their suspicion of each other.

Jo was shown pushing her canoe into the water, as Amber trailed behind. Crimson and Noah had finally gotten their boat into the water and the nerd nearly passed out as he got into the boat.

Scott and Dawn rowed past and the former took the opportunity to taunt. "Is all this physical work exhausting you nerd?"

"You know I would come up with a retort but you're not worth my time farmboy." Noah deadpanned.

\

The footage cut to later in the challenge. The camera panned over the pairs in their canoes before zooming in on the host standing on the beach. He cocked a starting pistol, raised it into the air, and began to speak."On your marks! Get set! Paddle!" He shot the gun and the camera cut briefly to the campers as they began rowing, then back. The squawk of a bird was followed by an eagle falling in front of the him. "That's gonna provoke some angry e-mails."

\

The campers were shown rowing across the lake as the camera slowly focused on Ella and Sammy.

"Okay so what's on your mind?" The younger twin asked.

The princess wannabe took a breath then began. "I've always loved fairy tales. Ever since I was little I've tried to be as close to the kind,loving princesses in those stories." She fidgeted nervously. "I've always wanted a prince. I had it all planned out you see. My prince would be kind, handsome, and love nature. He would make me feel happy and we'd work together well." Ella looked at her feet. "And um... recently I met someone who matches my dream..."

Sammy looked at the girl, confused. "So what's the problem?"

"Well it's just um." Ella took another breath. "Sammy, is it okay if my prince is a girl?"

(confessional)

Sammy: Well I wasn't expecting that."

The camera panned right to show Noah and Crimson rowing behind the two. "You can't seriously believe in curses." Noah deadpanned. "It's just superstition and psychological tricks."

"Even if it only exists in the mind, it is real." Crimson said her voice slightly emotional. "I believe a curse exists when you believe in it."

Noah smirked. "So believing in a curse gives it power? That actually makes a weird kind of sense."

The camera stopped on Amy and Trent who were far behind. The mean twin was holding a paddle as the guitarist tried to guide her movements making the two uncomfortably close. "Thanks for teaching me to row Trent." She crooned.

"Uh... no problem." The guitarist muttered nervously.

\

The scene cut to Xena and Alejandro. "What was it you wished to talk with me about?" The charmer asked.

"I have a list of suspects for the saboteur." Xena began.

"I think Alejandro's up to something." Scott told Dawn. "What does his aura tell you?"

"His aura is deceptive. I don't trust him." The moonchild replied. The scene shifted to the first two.

"My primary suspect is Scott. All the evidence I have is circumstantial, unfortunately." Xena continued.

"What makes you suspect him?" The Spainard questioned.

"Before the talent show he was watching Harold. During the camping challenge he kept bringing up how dangerous Anne Maria's hair spray could be. He went to the bathroom just before the tent caught fire. As I said all circumstantial. I have no definitive proof." Xena replied.

"So what should we do about it?" Scott said as the scene switched back to him.

"There is not much we can do, other than keeping an eye on him." Dawn replied. Scott scowled.

"I believe we should watch Scott closely. Even if I am wrong it would not hurt to be cautious. My secondary suspect is Duncan, and my tertiary suspect is Dawn. I do not believe the others could keep a secret. If when we are watching Scott another act of sabotage occurs we can rule him out. For now I'd like to focus on him." Xena concluded.

The camera briefly focused on Kitty and Geoff. The party dude was looking at his companion blankly while she looked bemused. "I thought it was so over the top it was cute." The selfie lover explained."But a lot of girls would be freaked out by that."

"So, I should take it slower next time?" Geoff asked.

"Yeah, a handmade heart shaped bowl is kinda a late relationship thing." Kitty chuckled.

\

The camera cut back to Sammy and Ella. "Of course it's alright." Sammy told the princess wannabe.

"But in the fairy tales, it's always a boy and a girl." Ella nervously replied.

"Does she make you happy?" Sammy asked her.

"Oh yes." The princess wannabe said. A serene smile on her face as she clasped her hands together.

"Then I don't see a problem." Ella still looked unsure."Ella." Sammy began wrapping the girl's hands in hers. "Did Jasmine give up because Aladdin was a commoner? Did Ariel give up because her prince wasn't a merman? And what about Belle? Her prince was a beast when she fell in love with him. If you like her, you should go after her."

Ella beamed. "You're right Sammy, it doesn't matter that my prince is actually a princess. I'll make sure you get to go back with your prince."

"Oh you don't have to." Sammy bashfully replied.

Suddenly the music took an ominous turn. Fog began to wrap around the canoes. Thin and wispy at first but becoming thicker as they went along. "Was it foggy before?" The younger twin asked.

"I don't believe so." Ella replied.

The camera zoomed out revealing the eight canoes were floating through a part of the lake covered in fog. Hidden rocks were scattered about dangerously. The map from before appeared on screen briefly before fading into a shot of the island itself. Chris's voice overlay the scene."You'll be paddling your canoes across the lake, to Boney Island!" The island was covered in coniferous trees. The most prominent feature was a skull shaped mountain for which the island was named.

Many of the campers looked wary as they paddled closer. The first few canoes hit the sand as the focus shifted to Crimson and Noah.

"This atmosphere is so comforting." The goth droned, almost seeming to breathe in the ambiance. The camera passed over the skull shaped mountain as the wind shrieked.

"L-let get this challenge over with." Sammy stammered as she and her partner lifted the canoe over their heads. The campers all headed inland.

The two teams ran through the forest, passing a disconcerting amount of impaled skulls along the way. A tall tree fell into the path of the Gophers. Ella screamed as several pairs of yellow eyes peered from the darkness about them. A rustling sound confirmed the wannabe Princess' fears.

"I think something's there." She whimpered.

A large shaggy brown animal, with buck teeth and tusks popped from the foliage. Several others followed and the beasts took a few steps towards the terrified campers.

"Ella, can you calm them?" Sammy asked.

"N-not this many!" Ella stuttered.

"Then I suggest we run!" Noah yelled as the group turned around.

(confessional)

Chris: A remnant of the Pleistocene era, the Woolly Beaver is a day-active rodent, indigenous to Boney Island. Oh yeah, and they're meat-eaters!

static

The Gophers were shown running away from a group of at least five beavers. They ran past a bear itching its back against a tree. It stared after the group in confusion, pulling out a pair glasses in disbelief.

The Gophers kept running with Jo in the lead."It's a dead end!" She cursed as the group ran into a shallow puddle surrounded by cliff were clumps of grass and sticks surrounding the area.

"Emphasis on the dead part!" Noah added, but even as he said this the beavers were shown walking away.

"Hey they're leaving." Trent said relieved.

"I guess I scared them off." Jo boasted. "No need to thank me."

"Feed your ego later muscle for brains, we've got company." Noah deadpanned, having noticed something moving.

"Did you just call me dumb!" The jockette yelled, with a screech several creatures raised from their nests.

The birds appeared to be some prehistoric relative of the Canadian Goose. They had the same colors but were much larger, with pterodactyl-esque heads and carnivorous teeth. As they began to squawk in anger, Noah made an irate observation.,"Great you woke them up."

The footage cut to the Gophers running in fear. They passed the bear seen previously still wearing his glasses, this time with the angry flock of monster geese pursuing them. The bear blinked, took off his glasses and snapped them in half.

"Well what do we do now scrawny!" Jo said glaring towards Noah.

The nerd thought, "Crimson stare them down!" The goth turned as the rest of the group continued running. She fixed her flat unblinking stare at the geese. While it seemed to do nothing at first the birds stopped and flew away just before reaching the two. As they caught up with the others the Bass ran past their team.

"Come on the race isn't over yet! We're not losing twice in a row." Jo ordered.

\

The camera cut to the Bass running towards a fork in the road. "Which way do we go?" Kitty asked.

"Let's go left," Scott replied, gesturing in said direction.

"I don't know I think we should take the one on the right." Geoff disagreed.

"The right trail is wider, it would provide more room." Xena stated.

"Very well then right it is!" Alejandro decided and the Bass turned right.

The shot cut to the Gophers. "I can see the other team." Trent observed.

"They're going right!" Sammy added.

"Then we're going left!" Jo demanded.

\

The scene skipped ahead to show the Gopher walking through the thick forest. Trent was in the lead when he started to sink into the ground. "Whoa guys uh, don't wanna panic here but I'm shrinking!" The guitarist exclaimed.

(confessional)

Trent: Right, how am I supposed to know what quick sand looks like? It looks just like sand.

Static

Chris: Can you believe they fell for that? I set it up, but I didn't think anyone would walk into it! That's just great!

Static

"Uh oh." Trent stated as he continued to sink.

"I'll help you Trent!" Ella called. The wannabe princess attempted to pull him out but only managed to get herself stuck as well. "Oh dear..."

"Both of you hold still. Make as little movement as possible. Jo find a vine or something." Noah said. The jockette glared but did as she was told. Trent and Ella froze slowing their descent.

Jo returned with a vine and threw it to the two teens. "Everyone set your canoes down and help pull." Noah instructed. The six teens did so. Slowly but surely the two Gophers were dislodged from the sand.

"Whoa thanks everyone." Trent said gratefully as Jo helped him to his feet.

"Yes thank you my friends! I shall sing you a song dedicated to your heroics." Ella took a deep breath.

"As much as I'm sure we'd all love to hear that," Noah deadpanned."We still have a challenge to win."

\

"Just when things were looking up for the Bass," Chris's voice over began as the camera cut to the mentioned team, the shot focused on Geoff and Kitty as the former suddenly fell."disaster struck!"

"Oh my leg, I'm down, I'm down!" The party dude cried as he lifted his leg."Oh its so unfair!" He continued to wail clutching his leg. "Why did this have to happen now! Why, why!"

"Geoff!" Kitty exclaimed kneeling next to him.

"You gotta go on without me." Geoff moaned.

Scott attempted to leave only to be pulled back by Duncan. "I might be a criminal hut leaving a dude alone in a forest injured? That's cold dude." He took a step towards his teammate.

(confessional)

Geoff: I didn't know if I was gonna make it, it was touch and go.

Static

Kitty: I've seen people hospitalized after a stunt gone wrong but this was awful.

Static

Dawn: He kept going. I sensed great determination in his aura.

Static

The confession cut to a close up of splintered piece of wood jutting out of inflamed human flesh. The camera slowly zoomed out until you could no longer see the splinter. The injured man was lying on top of the canoe, which was now carried by Duncan and Kitty.

By the time the Bass arrived on the beach, the Gophers had already begun work on their rescue fire. Ella waved as Jo attempted to set the kindling alight by rubbing a stick in the center. Amy was trying to use two rocks like flint. Jo gasped at something off screen and the camera cut to show the Bass had already lit their fire and Xena was lightly blowing on the flame.

"How did they do that so quickly?" Jo questioned. Duncan smirked, his brow partially raised, and pulled out a lighter. He then set it off.

The shot to Chris in a red one person Helicopter. "No rule against carrying lighters." He decided. "Edge: Killer Bass!"

Scott was shown getting wood for the Bass's fire, going as slow as he thought he could get away with. He paused as he saw something behind the foliage. The music grew ominous as the schemer's eyes spotted an object lying on the ground. The camera showed the object; a small wooden tiki idol heralded with a rattling noise.

The clip of Chris warning the campers at the episode's beginning was flashed back to. "If you take anything off the island, you'll be cursed forever!"

Scott smirked as he picked up the idol. He glanced around then put it in his pocket. The camera zoomed back to show Xena looking at him a brow raised. She followed him to the canoes where she noticed him take out a knife. The ginger began to look around so Xena made herself scarce.

\

The scene cut to Ella staring at Dawn shyly. Sammy put a hand on her shoulder. "Just go talk to her."

The wannabe Princess stared at the ground. "What if she doesn't like me? Or she thinks its weird?"

"You won't know unless you try." Sammy encouraged.

Ella took a deep breath and started to walk towards the moonchild. As she drew closer she could see Dawn looking at her and smiling. She stepped next to her. "Hey." Ella whispered.

"I've been waiting for you to talk to me." The moonchild said. "You need not worry." Dawn paused in expectation.

Ella swallowed. "Well I just wanted to say that I li-"

"Ella get over here and help!" Amy's voice interrupted from off screen. Ella started as she remembered she was in the middle of a challenge.

\

The camera cut to Geoff dragging his body across the ground with his hand as the other clutched fire wood. Triumphant music played as the party dude slowly reached the fire and threw his contribution in.

"We need more wood everyone! Our fire must grow if we wish to be victorious." Alejandro encouraged. In a panic Harold ran over to the oars and threw them into the fire. The camera did several quick cuts to the other team members. All of whom were staring at him in disbelief.

"Good job Harold, how are we supposed to row back!" Scott scoffed. The camera showed a close of a panicked Harold before it panned to the Gophers.

"Ugh this is taking forever!" Jo groaned. It was then she noticed Amber nervously holding a ball of something. "Braids what's that?" She questioned.

"I think it's a fire starter. It's made of tree sap and sand. I'm not sure if I should use it though because if I made it wrong we could all be badly burned." The bookworm answered.

"We'll risk it." The jockette decided without consulting her team.

"Okay, everyone needs to stand back." Amber ordered. Her teammates were shown backing away slowly concern clear in their eyes. With a nervous gulp Amber threw it into the fire and ran, the view switched to a full shot of the beach as the fire exploded. Chris was shown watching the small explosion from his helicopter, Noah and Ella were shown shielding their eyes from the light, and the Bass were shown with mouths agape. When the explosion cleared the fire had tripled in size. "We have our fire building winner!" Chris announced from within his copter."Point for the Gophers!"

"Where'd you learn to make that braids?" Jo asked.

"Wilderness survival guide. I think I used too much..." Amber trailed.

\

The scene cut to a shot of eight canoes sitting upon the lake. The camera panned left to reveal both teams approaching them. It focused on Ella, Trent, Sammy, and Amy. "I'm still shaken from my encounter with the quicksand. I'm sure Trent is as well, so I think I should go with Amy and Trent should go with Sammy." Ella said with a wink.

"I second that." Trent replied and before Amy could do anything the lovebirds were off. Amy glared at Ella. "What?"

The shot switched to the Bass who were looking at their canoes in dismay. "How are gonna get back without paddles?" Kitty asked.

The camera swapped to Alejandro thinking. No one knew what to do, their paddles were gone. There must be some way to get back. The camera showed The Gophers halfway across the lake before moving back to Alejandro who smirked. "Everyone stack your canoes and get in. I have a plan.

The camera cut to later, the Bass had stacked their canoes as instructed and Alejandro kicked off the beach swimming behind them. He moved at a swift pace but the Gophers already had all but one boat across. Alejandro was not one to give so easily and picked up the pace, managing to propel the Bass past the Sammy and Trent's boat in victory.

"The Gophers are the winners!" Chris proclaimed to the cheers of the mentioned team.

Amy glared at her sister. "Nice going Samey! If you had paddled faster we'd have won!"

\

After the usual beginning shot the shadow of a wolf was shown howling against the moon. The elimination ceremony had begun . "And now,the always anxiety-inducing, marshmallow ceremony." The host said as he spun the tray of treats on a single finger.

The camera panned across the Screaming Gophers Amy and Jo smirked at each other while Ella looked sad. "When I call your name, come and get a marshmallow. Ella." The princess wannabe happily claimed her marshmallow. "Trent," He stood up with a worried glance at Sammy. "Noah." He grabbed his. "Amber." The girl calmly received her treat. " Jo," the jockette smirked. "Crimson." She silently took hers. A dramatic cord was struck as there was only one marshmallow remaining.

"One last marshmallow," Chris announced. "The person who doesn't get this marshmallow," Amy was shown smirking confidently. "will walk off the Dock of Shame" Sammy was panned to a nervous expression on her face. "Who's it gonna be?" He paused a moment. "It's a tie!"

"What!" Both siblings exclaimed.

"Yeah, The votes are tied with three each. According to the rules in the event of a tie it is the host who makes the final decision. So The final marshmallow goes too…. Amy."

The older twin caught her treat smirking at her sibling. Sammy looked devastated. "Sorry girl the boat of losers is that way." Chris gestured. Sammy walked away sadly then turned. She opened her mouth. "Trent I just wanted to say I-" Chef grabbed her and threw her on the boat before she could say anything."Well that wraps that up. Goodnight everybody."

\

The scene panned down the beach to show Alejandro and Xena talking. "When watching Scott I found he was approaching the canoes with a knife. Later when we were stacking them I saw a series of almost imperceptible holes in one. So I ensured it was stack upon another one. Should I have not see it I would likely have suspected Duncan. It is likely he was trying to frame him."

"Your theory is confirmed then." Alejandro smiled. Xena nodded, there was a moment of silence before the Spainard asked. "Was there anything else you wanted to mention?"

"I saw Scott pick something up from the island but I do not know why. It must be of some use to him." Xena reported.

The charmer smirked at his cohort. "Perhaps he believes in the curse Chris mentioned."

"Curses are not logical," Xena frowned confused. " Why would he take action on the basis of something like that?"

Alejandro placed a hand on the overlogical girl's shoulder. "It matters not why, only that others may believe in the curse as well. If we can prove he has this object we can convince others to vote him off.

"Of course that is assuming he keeps hold of it." Xena observed.

\

The scene cut to a view outside the Bass cabin. It switched to the interior as ominous music played. Scott could be seen holding the idol, he placed it into a sleeping Geoff's stuff and smirked. The camera slowly zoomed in on the object. Lighting flashed as the scene quickly zoomed out to a full shot of the island and the screen filled with static.

Chapter Text

"Last time, on Total Drama Island!" The recap began with a pan across the eight canoes to show the teams walking to them, followed by a quick fade to the map of boney island and a shot of the actual island."Both teams set out on a canoe trip, to deadly Boney Island!"

A shot of Sammy and Ella in their boat is followed by shots of Alejandro and Xena in theirs, and a close up of Scott in his. "Sammy managed to convince Ella her crush on Dawn was okay, while Xena told Alejandro of her suspicions about Scott, and Scott plotted against his team."

"There were winners." The the Bass cheering was shown. " And there were losers also known as the Gophers." The clip of the Bass flying past Sammy and Trent in their boat is shown followed by the Gophers at elimination."After Alejandro managed to pass Sammy and Trent's canoe, the votes at elimination were tied. Leaving it up to yours truly to decide who got the boot." A clip of Sammy being thrown on the boat of losers is shown. "I chose Amy obviously."

The clips of Scott picking up the idol and a later clip of him putting it in Geoff's things are shown. "Scott picked up a creepy-stick-statue-voodoo-thingy in the hopes of cursing his team, then planted it in Geoff's stuff." The footage cuts to a close up of Chris as he finishes. "Will Scott's plan work?"And can my teeth get any whiter?" he said. "Find out here On Total. Drama. Island."

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode begins with a serene tune as a rabbit hops down a dirt path, the music becomes dramatic as the shadow of a helicopter appeared. There is a shot of Chris in the pilot seat as he flew over the cabins and winked to the audience.

The shot cut inside of the boy's side of the Bass cabin as Duncan is startled awake. "Oh, they're coming man they found us!" The delinquent panicked jumping from his top bunk to hide under Alejandro and Scott's bed.

We cut back outside as Chris flew over the Gopher cabin, another cut inside showed a startled Jo hitting her head on the top bunk."Ugh McLame is gonna pay for putting me through this." The jockette growled.

"I know right?" Amy agreed. She smiled at Ella with faux sweetness. "Ella would you warm up the shower for me?"

The wannabe princess beamed. "Of course I will, I love helping!"

\

The scene flashed ahead to show every girl in the camp outside the bathroom clearly all needing to go.

"What's the hold up?" Kitty questioned.

"Amy just wanted to take a shower, I'm sure she'll be out soon." Ella replied.

"Whatever I'll go in the woods." Jo said as she stomped off.

The screeching sound of a loudspeaker grabbed the group's attention.. "I hope you're ready for the most challenging challenge yet!" Chris announced. "Breakfast in three minutes at the campfire pit!"

\

The scene cut to the campers gathered before Chris. "Are you ready for today's EXTREME MAX IMPACT CHALLENGE?!" The host exclaimed.

"Of course, because the first thing I think after being woken up by a sadistic reality host is 'I'm ready for the next challenge." Noah deadpanned.

"Great!" The host grinned ignoring his tone. "Incoming!" The host threw a can at the teens. Just before the can hit Noah Crimson caught it. Noah gave her a thankful look.

"This," Chris said as he tossed cans to Noah, Amy, and Jo, "is breakfast."

"Ugh this is worse than Samey's horrible cooking, not by much but still that's a new low." Amy complained.

"Clearly we haven't been eating the same food." Noah quipped.

"Today's challenge is about survival," Chris resumed. "we're going hunting." The host said pulling a green gun from behind him, getting the attention of several campers.

"That's more like it." Duncan smirked as Jo nodded in agreement. Nearby , Scott dug into his beans.

"A paintball gun I believe?" Alejandro said.

"Why yes Alejandro, it is." Chris smirked as he shot towards the Spaniard who dodged with ease.

"So we won't hurt anyone?" Ella asked.

"I wouldn't say that, but no one will die." Chris told her. "This is the first ever paintball deer hunt! I'll announce the teams once we get into the woods! Sooo, finish brekkie!" Ella, Amber and Trent were shown listening, but the three turned towards Scott when he burped. The ginger simply smirked.

\

The music grew slow but tense as the scene skipped forward. The two teams stood within their group assembled around a rack with green and red paintball guns hanging upon it.

"And now for the team breakdowns," Chris began. "The Killer Bass hunters are," he reached for the green guns,"Xena, Geoff, Kitty, and Harold!" The four caught their guns. "Locked and loaded with Bass Blue paint!" Chris explained.

"And using orange paint," the host continued as he grabbed a red gun, "are the Gopher hunters! Noah, Ella, and Amy!"

"I'm not sure about this." Ella whispered.

Chris ignored her, putting on orange tinted safety glasses and a camouflage hat. "You also get these stylin' glasses an' wicked camo caps! The rest of you," the shot turned to the eight remaining contestants as the music struck a couple dramatic notes. "are now deer. Here are your antlers, noses" he held up an antler headband and a little red nose,"and little white tails." He concluded, turning around and wiggling a fake tail with a chuckle.

"No way! I'm not the hunted, I'm the hunter!" Jo angrily exclaimed.

"There's no way I'm a deer." Duncan agreed, just before having the antlers forced on his head followed by orange safety glasses, the nose and tail. "Take these off and your team is toast." Chris explained.

Noah smirked at Duncan, who glared in response. "What are you looking at?" The delinquent threatened.

"Nothing, Rudolph." Noah snarked.

"I am not Rudolph." Duncan nearly growled.

Noah's smirk widened. "Oh sorry, my bad Clarisse."

Duncan held up a fist. "You'd better be a good shot nerd."

\

The Bass logo appeared in the upper left corner as the team's four deer walked through the woods.

"At least we have a head start." Alejandro commented.

"Whatever, if you don't mind I'm going somewhere else. Make it harder to get us all." Scott smirked as he left the group, Alejandro staring after him in suspicion.

The scene cut to the four Gopher deer as their own logo slid into the upper left corner.

"I can't believe Chris made me a deer!" Jo griped.

"He knew it would make you mad, and you're giving him what he expected." Amber shrugged. "Regardless, I'm out of here smaller groups means less people caught." The bookworm explained as she left.

"I'm going this way you coming?" Trent asked.

"No thanks I'm gonna strategize." Jo said sitting on a nearby log.

"Well..okay" Trent trailed as he walked off.

\

A victorious ditty played over a shot of Kitty, Geoff, Xena and Harold as the first two high fived. "Go team!" Geoff cheered.

"We're gonna own this challenge!" Kitty enthused.

"I would prefer to hunt alone so as to make less noise." Xena stated as she walked away.

"Right on dudette. Catch you later!" Geoff encouraged as the other three hunters went in the opposite direction.

\

"Start your paintballs!" The host announced over a shot of the loudspeaker. "Game on!"

"Ugh, he's so full of himself you can hear it over the speaker." Amy commented to a quiet, concerned looking Ella.

"As much as I would love to point out your hypocrisy, I have deer to hunt." Noah idly replied as he turned to walk away.

"Since when have you cared about having an active role in challenges?" Amy quipped back.

"Since Chris made Duncan and Al deer." The nerd smirked as he left the area.

"Whatever, come on princess let's go find Jo." Amy ordered, Ella nodded and followed silently.

\

The scene transitioned to show the girls walking through the forest. "Ugh where is Jo? You'd think someone as loud as her would be easy to find!" Amy griped, unaware that they had just walked by the log Jo was sitting on.

"Ahem, I can hear you, you know?" An irate Jo said, her arms folded.

"Finally, so now what?" Amy asked impatiently.

"We need a plan, got any ideas tweedle dee?" Jo prompted.

"Why are you asking me?" Amy said skeptically.

"You're good at taking down defenseless people." Jo admitted. "So?"

The older twin smirked. "I might. First we need to dig a pit." She turned to Ella, " You're always talking about your animal friends. Are any of them good at digging?"

Ella beamed and began to sing. There were no lyrics simply a chorus of elegant notes strung together. Slowly scores of rabbits entered the clearing, drawn by the beautiful melody. "Excuse me," Ella began. "But you're really good at burrowing, would you mind digging me a pit? If it's not too much trouble." Almost as soon as the request left her lips the rabbits began to dig at a rate fast enough to result in a cartoonish dust cloud.

Jo stared in disbelief. "Well that's one way to dig a pit."

(Confessional)

Amy: Now that Samey's gone I have a chance to win over Trent. So I'm going to focus on showing off how amazing I am, and what better way than humiliating the Bass. If I help my team win he'll have to take notice!"

Static

Noah walked quietly through the woods stopping behind a nearby tree as he spotted something. The viewpoint shifted to show a distracted Duncan on the other side of a bush. The view shifted back to Noah as he smirked and crouched behind the bush as he viewed his prey from down his rifle."There you are, piercings." The nerd whispered lowly. So into his hunt was he that he inadvertently stepped on a stick. At the cracking sound Duncan froze.

\

The scene cut back to Jo, Amy, and Ella. The three now had a reasonably sized pit before them."Thank you ever so much." Ella told the rabbits, who hopped away in satisfaction. The other two turned to Amy in askance.

"Okay Ella go get your blanket, Jo and I will collect rocks." Amy instructed. Ella ran off eager to help while Jo shrugged.

\

Cutting back to Noah the camera showed Duncan looking around, his eyes narrowed. Noah stayed crouched in the bush trying not to move a muscle. His eyes widened as he heard a rattling noise. The nerd let out a girly scream as he threw the snake away from him.

Duncan turned with a surprised look on his face that was swiftly exchanged for a smirk. "Nice try pitchy, you almost had me!" The delinquent taunted. He began to run away with Noah in pursuit.

\

Back with the Gopher trio, the three were spreading Ella's blanket over the pit, holding it in place with the rocks they had gathered. "Now all we have to do is cover the trap and wait for someone to fall in."

Jo frowned. "Okay so we cover the trap, but how do we make sure someone comes this way?"

Amy's smirk widened. "Well with bait of course. I'll explain what I mean later, for now help me put some of the dirt back."

Jo nodded. "Alright tweedle dee, but this better not be a waste of time." The jockette warned as the three got back to work on the trap.

\

Another clip of Duncan and Noah's hunting game began with Duncan running through the forest. The delinquent turned his head and smirked as he noted the smaller boy's panting. "There's no way you're gonna catch me nerd!" Duncan taunted. A look of confusion came across his face as Noah smirked, moments later he discovered why as he tripped on a large rock in the middle of a stream. Noah shot at him and got his shoulder.

"What was that about 'never catching you?" Noah mocked.

The delinquent scoffed as he got back up and continued to run with Noah close behind. "You got lucky nerd let's see you do it again!"

\

The footage cut to back to the Gopher alliance. The pit was now covered so one would have to be paying close attention to notice it was different from any other patch of ground. "Alright we've set up the trap. Now what tweedle dee? This is your plan, so it'd better be good." Jo said tapping her foot impatiently.

The mean twin smirked. "Oh it is. Now we lure some hunters here."

"How exactly is that gonna help?" Jo huffed her arms folded.

"Chris never explicitly said we had to hunt deer." Amy explained smugly. "He also never said friendly fire didn't count. So if we catch some of the Bass hunters here we can get them out of the way, score points off them and get you a gun."

Jo smirked back at the twin. "Gotta admit tweedle dee, that's a pretty good plan."

"Of course it is I came up with it. Now obviously you need to go find them." Amy ordered.

"Why me?" Jo protested.

"Well they're going after deer aren't they?" Amy smiled evilly.

Jo chuckled as an equally horrible grin lit up her face. "Yes they are, and if they want to chase a deer we'll give them one."

(confessional)

Amy: I've humiliated Samey tons of times. I'm good at planning elaborate pranks that end in humiliation. I think my favorite was when I got her voted queen of the spring fling, and the moment she accepted her award we dumped a bucket of fruit punch on her! She looked all bloody and gross. Anyway this isn't that different.

Static

\

Meanwhile delinquent and nerd continued their chase. The landscape tilted as though they were running uphill. An exhausted but determined Noah trailing a still active Duncan. "My pet spider runs faster than you and he's an insect." The delinquent taunted.

"Spiders are arachnids!" Noah delinquent rolled his eyes as he halted. The shot zoomed out to reveal he had been chased up the very cliff they'd jumped off the first episode. A shot over Duncan's shoulder revealed the out of breath nerd had also reached the top. He pointed his gun at him.

"End of the line Duncan." Noah said still managing a smirk.

"You know I could just jump off right?" Duncan retorted.

"You mean you'd rather face man eating sharks than an out of shape nerd?" Noah taunted. "You know, you act like a bad boy but you're just a try hard." He finished smugly. His words had the desired effect as the delinquent forgot about escaping and rushed him. Noah managed to cover his entire chest in orange paint before being thrown off the cliff. Duncan clapped his hands as though removing dust before walking away whistling. As though he hadn't just been shot multiple times.

\

The scene cut to Kitty, Geoff, and Harold walking through the woods chatting idly as they scanned for deer. "So this morning I found this cool little statue dude in my stuff." The party dude explained taking the idol from the last episode out of his pocket.

"It looks like something made by an ancient tribe. I could probably tell you which one if I got a good look at it." Harold bragged

"That's so cool! You have no idea where it came from?" Kitty replied examining the idol.

"Not a clue! But I figure anything that rad had to be a good luck charm." Geoff enthused. "Besides there are days I'd forget my own head if it wasn't attached to me, so who knows."

The three continued their walk, their eyes widening as they spotted a deer. "You ready to chase this deer down?" Geoff asked his partner.

"Totally! Let's bag us a deer!" Kitty responded.

\

The shot cut to Noah walking through the forest, leaving a trail of water as he went. " Well that worked out as well as I expected. I didn't expect him to throw me off the cliff though. I thought he'd punch me." Noah said as wrug out his hair. "Whatever I still shot him."

The nerd looked at his gun. "One bullet left huh?" A smirk settled on his face. "And I know just who I want to shoot. All I need to do is find him."

\

The scene cut back to Kitty and Geoff as they raced through the forest. Harold panted as he tried to keep up. The three scanned the area trying to spot the deer they'd seen. The camera shifted to show Jo just ahead a smirk on her face.

A look of determination passed between the three hunters and they locked eyes on their prey. The deer would not escape. The two quickened their pace realizing it was Jo and they wouldn't catch her unless they did.

"You won't catch me! I run track!" Jo bragged as she picked up her own pace.

"I've gone to gym class after an all nighter!" Geoff retorted enjoying the trash talk.

"I make sure a stubborn law student takes care of herself!" Kitty added.

"I went to Athletic Steve's Athletic camp!" Harold replied.

Jo suddenly ran faster and the three hunters struggled to catch up. The camera followed Jo as she turned and jumped. Just as she landed the hunters caught up. It was not long before their victorious smirks vanished as the ground beneath them crumbled.

Geoff grabbed onto the side of the pit in desperation. A smirking Jo entered the screen looking at the party dude. She stomped her foot down on Geoff's hands. With a scream the party dude let go and fell.

\

The focus shifted to Xena as she spotted antlers. Cautiously she entered the clearing, her gun ready. She lowered it as the view switched to reveal the deer to be Dawn meditating. The moonchild blinked as she noticed Xena's presence.

"Hello Xena have you had any luck finding deer?" Dawn asked, her vision distant as though she were still meditating.

"Greetings. Negatory, I have searched a broad spectrum of the forest but have yet to find any deer not of my own team." Xena said flatly.

" Perhaps it is for the best." The moonchild replied, her stare still vacant. "I sense a cursed object on the island. Though I know not where it came from."

Far from being disturbed Xena merely raised a brow. "Oh? Perhaps I could be of assistance? Do you know what the object looks like?"

Dawn said nothing as the vacant nature of her stare increased. It was as though she were not looking at the world around her. After a minute the moonchild's eyes regained their focus. "It is a small idol, cylindrical in shape, with the features of a tiki carved into the wood."

Xena nodded. "I saw Scott pick up something matching the description you just gave me. We were on bony island at the time. I took no stock in it as I do not believe in curses."

"You really shouldn't let logic dictate your life you know." The moonchild advised.

"Noted." Xena said inclining her head.

"But not taken into consideration." Dawn sighed. "Regardless we must find out where Scott has it."

\

The footage cut to a shot of Amber lying near a tree reading. It zoomed out as a certain Spainard entered the scene. "It is a pleasure to run into you." Alejandro said, causing Amber to startle out of her position. The bookworm scrambled to her feet.

"Alejandro! Lovely day isn't it?" She stammered.

(confessional)

Amber: Lovely day isn't it? How dumb am I? I gave the perfect set up for a compliment he probably didn't mean. This is what I get for having little male interaction, or you know none.

Static

"Not as lovely as you." The Spaniard responded smoothly.

Amber sighed and crossed her arms. "Can we stop this charade?"

"I don't know what you mean?" Alejandro responded. The smirk on his face said otherwise.

"Of course you know what I mean!" The bookworm exclaimed in exasperation. She pointed a finger at the charmer's chest accusingly. "You are an apex predator and I am naught but your prey. You flirt with me, but I never know if you mean it!"

Alejandro spoke lowly. "Do you not like my flirting?" The Spaniard whispered as the two drew closer.

"I-I never said that." Amber stuttered. She shook her head as if to clear it. A determined look in her eyes, the bookworm tried to back away but found herself unable to. She glanced up to see her antlers were entangled with Alejandro's.

"I knew you were trying to trap me but I thought I was being metaphorical." Amber sighed.

"I find I do not mind." The charmer said as he smirked suggestively. The bookworm blushed.

Alejandro winced as an orange pellet hit the back of his head. The camera panned to show Noah sitting in the nearby tree, smirk in place. "If you weren't so busy womanizing you'd probably have seen me." He quipped.

\

The scene changed to a shot of a red paintball gun. A pair of hands grabbed it as the camera zoomed out to reveal Jo as the one who had picked it up. Amy and Ella entered the frame around her. The former with an evil smirk and the latter with an apologetic grin.

The view switched to behind the girls heads looking over the pit. Geoff was nursing his hand while Kitty comforted him. As she noticed the Gopher trio she glared. "Well what do we have here?" Jo chuckled from off screen.

"That was uncalled for!" Kitty yelled. Behind her Harold groaned.

"I think I broke something." He said breathily.

The camera cut back to the Gopher trio. "It's like shooting fish in a barrel." Amy taunted.

"Fire when ready girls!" Jo cheered as the three shot the hunters, though Ella apologized as she did so.

"Attention, human wildlife and hunters!"Chris announced over the loudspeaker. The three hunters looked at each other, now covered in paint."Please report back to camp! It's time to show your hides and tally up the scores!"

\

"Tsk, tsk, tsk," Chris said as the scene cut to a close up of Geoff, Kitty, and Harold grinning sheepishly. The shot zoomed out to show them covered from head to toe in both colors of paint as the host paced in front of them."Stealing guns from the other team. Throwing people over cliffs. Falling into traps." Chris listed in a serious tone. "Do you know what I see here?" The camera panned over his face, then across the paint soaked Bass to the pristine Gophers, Jo still held Geoff's gun. "I see a very undisciplined group. I see a disgraceful mess. I see a massive waste of paint product!"

The camera cut to an extremely close shot of Chris' face."And, I have to say," The camera zoomed out as the host grinned. "That was awesome!" He laughed. "When you three fell into the pit and they shot you mercilessly." Chris told the Bass hunters. "Wicked TV. guys." Jo and Amy shared smirks.

"Hey where's Amber?" Noah questioned.

"Alejandro's missing too." Scott was quick to point out. The camera shifted to show Alejandro and Amber entering the group, their antlers still tangled.

"Braids I thought you were trying to get away from Al?" Jo said from off screen as the Spaniard winced at the nickname.

The shot cut to a smirking Duncan. "Alejandro always so smooth with the ladies."

Geoff and Ella helped untangle the antlers. Amber ran back to her group as soon as they were apart.

"Well," Chris began, "Since four of the Bass are dripping in paint," the camera panned over Kitty, Geoff, Harold, and Duncan before returning to Chris."and some of them aren't even deer," he turned to the other team and smiled, "I think we have our winner!"

The Gopher cheered, sans Crimson. "You're off to a hunting camp shindig!" Chris explained. "Bass!" he turned back to the losers, "I'll see you at the campfire ceremony!"

The standard shot of the island at night signaled the beginning of the elimination ceremony.

(confessional)

Scott: Goodbye nerd.

Static

Xena: I believe I have the numbers to vote Scott off.

Static

Geoff: Dude, Dawn said the rad statue thing is cursed! So I got rid of it.

Static

Harold: I really hope the others recognize my skills.

Static

"There are only six marshmallows on this plate," Chris began. . "When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper-"

"Who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately return to the dock of shame, catch the boat of losers and leave." Scott interrupted. "We get it."

Chris shot the ginger an unamused stare. "Fine, whatever, spoil the moment." He picked the first marshmallow off the plate and threw it. "Dawn. Xena. Alejandro. Geoff. Kitty. Duncan." One by one the campers received their marshmallow. Kitty's bumped her head and Geoff was hit with his.

"Campers," Chris said, holding the last piece of fluffy white immunity as the music struck dramatically. "this is the final marshmallow tonight." A split screen showed a confident Scott and nervous Harold. The camera showed the nerd calming himself and Scott smirking. The host eyed the marshmallow in his hand then uttered a name. "Scott"

"What! But Duncan, Geoff, and Kitty were also covered in paint!" The nerd protested.

"I guess you're just that annoying Harold." Scott smirked as he popped his marshmallow in his mouth.

"Harold, the dock of shame awaits." Chris said as he gestured to the dock.

"Whatever, you don't deserve my mad skills,"Harold told his team. He walked down the dock of shame.

(confessional)

Xena: I do not understand. How did Scott avoid losing?

Static

Scott: Please, Duncan hates Harold. Kitty and Geoff knew they were on the chopping block so convincing them to vote him out was easy. At most we'd have tied. Sorry nerdette you're not getting rid of me that easily.

Chapter Text

The episode begins with the usual shot of Chris on the Dock. "Last time, on Total Drama Island!" Clips of the two teams were shown as the challenge was explained, Geoff, Kitty, and Xena with their hunter gear, and the Gopher deer splitting up were shown. "Our competitors became hunters, and the hunted."

Clips of Noah chasing Duncan down are followed by a clip of Noah shooting Duncan then being thrown off the cliff. "For once Noah had his game face on, and even though Duncan is way faster than him, Noah managed to get under his skin enough that it didn't matter. For his trouble he was thrown off the cliff." The clip of Geoff showing Kitty the idol is shown. "Geoff decided the cursed idol was a good luck charm and inadvertently cursed himself." Clips of the gopher alliance setting up the trap, Jo running from Geoff and Kitty, and the three shooting the hunters are shown. "Amy showed us she had some brains to go with her meanness when she set up a trap for the Bass hunters and the Gopher alliance shot them mercilessly."

The Bass are shown at the elimination ceremony, followed by Xena's pre vote confessional. "At the campfire ceremony Xena was sure she could finally get Scott voted out." Clips of Harold being eliminated and Scott's ending confessional are shown. "Unfortunately Scott managed to convince Geoff, Duncan and Ktty to help him vote out Harold instead and Scott stayed to sabotage another day." The ending shots of Chris on the dock conclude the recap. "Can the Bass ever get rid of their scheming teammate? Find out tonight, on Total. Drama. Island."

'Cause I wanna be...famous

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zooms out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

We begin the episode proper with a shot of the waterfall as tranquil music plays. The camera moves down the dock to the Gopher cabin. Ella sits awake as her cabinmates slumber, a determined look on her face. "Today I'm going to tell her how I feel!"

The shot exited the cabin and panned to the Bass cabin, we cut inside, where Kitty is shown sleeping. The selfie lover yawns, opens her eyes and frowns. "Xena are you okay?"

The shot zoomed out to show Xena pacing back and forth in front of Kitty's bunk bed. The background music becomes tension filled as the overlogical girl muttered. Large bags can be seen under her eyes. Her clothes looked slept in and her hair was nearly out of her ponytail. She didn't acknowledge Kitty's question, in fact she didn't seem to have heard her.

"Xena?" A concerned Kitty turned to look at the other side of the room. Dawn was sitting on her bed in a meditative stance. "Do you know what's wrong with her?"

"Her aura is filled with tension, something is causing her great stress." Dawn replied, not bothering to open her eyes.

"Can you tell what she's stressed about?" Kitty asked as she looked towards the blonde worriedly.

"Not really, Xena's aura is usually a light tan band close to her body. Logic is in her every thought meaning the rest of her aura is very hard to see. So while I can tell she's under immense stress, I cannot discern what she is stressed about. I fear if she continues to dwell on it she will suffer mentally." The moonchild explained.

"Well maybe the challenge will take her mind off it. We'll have to keep an eye on her though, just in case." The selfie lover said, Dawn nodded in agreement.

/

The footage flashed ahead to show the shadowed form of a bird of prey flying across the sunny sky. The camera panned down across the woods to show the fourteen remaining were gathered on the beach in front of Chris."Today's challenge will test your mind," the host began tapping a finger to his head."your teamwork, and your skills in the kitchen! You'll be cooking a three-course meal, and serving it to me, for tasting. The winners get a reward, the losers will send somebody home."

"So we're making you lunch? What an original concept for a reality show." Noah deadpanned.

Chris ignored him. The camera cut to a close up of the three Bass boys and Kitty as the host continued.. "Each team will appoint a Head Chef," Geoff and Scott gave each other uncertain looks. "to create the theme of the meal, and to oversee the cooking."

Chris is shown again. "To cook, you need ingredients! Every morning," the camera cuts to the lake, several bubbles float to the surface. A purple delivery truck with fruit on it backs out of the lake. "a truck brings us food. Today's tasks start there." The camera zoomed in on the driver's window revealing a dolphin.

"Wait, every morning? You really eat that much?" Amber questioned.

"Yes, every morning." Chris insisted his brow furrowed. "Now go!"

\

The doors of the back end of the truck are shown being opened by Geoff and Scott. The light reveals several boxes of fruit,and eggs, with meat hung from the ceiling. Geoff's eyes light up as Scott frowns. "We could do a killer Italian theme!" The party dude exclaimed.

"Seriously? Do we really want to make frat boy head chef?" Scott scoffed.

"Dude, I wasn't trying to be head chef, I was just giving a suggestion." Geoff replied.

Alejandro stepped between them. "Personally I think it's a wonderful idea, and I have full confidence in your ability to lead." The Spaniard told Geoff.

"Really? You guys think so?" Geoff asked the Bass. Many of them nodded and no one else had any objection. "Awesome! Then let's get grabbing."

As the Bass entered the truck the Gophers could be seen making their way over. "I'm head chef! Got it?" Jo ordered.

"Uh, do you know anything about cooking?" Amy asked skeptically.

"What's there to know? You put a bunch of food together and it makes other food." Jo said confidently.

"Right. I think I should be head Chef." Amy said.

"You expect me to believe you know about cooking?" Jo snarked, rolling her eyes.

"More than you! I've actually helped someone cook. My housekeeper says I almost got it right last time." The older twin insisted, smugly folding her arms.

Noah had walked next to the two as they argued. "So your skill set is being bossy and yelling inanely?" The cynic interrupted, raising a brow. "I'm afraid Jo has that covered." He finished with a smirk.

"Yeah!" The jockette agreed. Then she blinked in realization. "Hey!"

"Look I'm just saying, head Chef needs to know how to cook. I don't mind letting you lead, but I'd prefer to create the menu." Noah explained.

Jo put a finger to her chin in thought. "As long as I get to call the shots."

"Sweet!" Geoff said as he led his team past the Gophers, all six members with boxes of ingredients. "Let's hit the road!"

Noah examined the contents of the truck. "Now, what can we make?"

"Gazpacho." A deadpan voice said from beside him. The camera zoomed out to show the speaker as Crimson.

"Yes, that could work. Okay, we're doing a Spanish theme." Noah decided. "Now I need you guys to get..."

\

The footage cuts to the Bass entering the kitchen, their boxes of food in hand. "Okay," Geoff said, tossing a can of tomato sauce from hand to hand as he entered last. "we got like three courses, and six people. " the party dude continued as he threw the can to Dawn. The moonchild caught the can, though she stumbled. "So everyone pair up."

"I can make spaghetti sauce. Xena do you think you can make the pasta?" Kitty volunteered, dragging Xena in.

"Spaghetti noodles are not hard to prepare. However, are you sure I would not be better suited to one of the other dishes? " Xena said glancing at Scott.

"Not to worry Xena, I am sure Scott and I can handle dessert." Alejandro said, placing a hand on the deviant's shoulder in a manner that seemed friendly.

"Wait, but I'd rather-" Scott began.

"Cool, looks like that leaves Dawn and Duncan on antipesto." Geoff interrupted having not heard Scott's protest.

(confessional.)

Xena: Unfortunately, Scott's continued presence has caused emotional issues to develop within me. Perhaps it is best Alejandro safeguard him.

Static

Scott: Don't think i overlooked that warning grip Al.

Static

Alejandro: If Scott knows what's good for him, he won't sabotage this challenge.

\

Kitty is shown chopping tomatoes while Xena is filling a pot with water nearby. The selfie lover looked at the blonde concernedly."So, is there anything you wanted to talk about?" Kitty prodded. The overlogical girl remained silent, the sounds of running water her only answer. "You know if anything is bothering you, maybe I could help?" Xena's only response was turning the faucet as though she was trying to drown the selfie lover out. "Xena, you know you can talk-"

"It is not necessary. I will deal with it." The blonde replied firmly.

"But Xena-" Kitty began.

"The problem is of little importance." Xena interrupted as she grabbed the filled pot from the sink, "If you'll excuse me, I have water to boil." The overlogical girl excused herself, walking off as the selfie lover looked on with worry.

\

The Gophers had their ingredients on the counter split by dish. "Okay scrawny what do we need to do?" Jo said.

"Group one will be preparing gazpacho, it's a simple dish, not much skill required other than cutting vegetables. Group two will be preparing Spanish stuffed peppers it's the hardest of the three but still relatively simple. Group three will be preparing flan, it's not much more difficult than the gazpacho." Noah explained.

"Okay, Stonewall, braids, you take this gazpacho thing." Jo ordered.

"Good, I suck at cooking." Amber replied.

"Ella, you and I will take the bell peppers." Jo told the Princess wannabe.

"Lover boy, Tweedle dee, you're on dessert duty." The jockette continued, much to Amy's delight and Trent's dismay. The older twin gave the guitarist the most innocent look she could muster, fluttering her lashes.

"Why can't Noah and I work together?" Trent asked, looking uncomfortable.

"Scrawny's the one who knows the dishes so he's going to help wherever he's needed." Jo said. The guitarist sighed as he looked at Amy in resignation.

(confessional)

Trent: First Sammy gets voted off,then Jo pairs me with Amy? Will someone tell me what I did to make the universe hate me so much?

Static.

\

Kitty is shown cutting tomatoes again. The selfie lover can't help but glance at Xena as she cuts up meat for the sauce. The over logical girl cut very slowly as though measuring the pieces in her mind. "You know it doesn't have to be exact, we're going to be making it into meatballs anyway."

"I am aware of this, however focusing on logic helps me." Xena replied not looking up from her task.

Kitty frowned. "I get the feeling it would help more to talk about it."

"Negatory, my problems are my own." The blonde retorted.

The selfie lover sighed as she continued her task."Dawn could you get more tomatoes?" She asked as she realized they needed more.

"Of course." The moonchild replied as she exited.

The camera panned to Ella, showing the Princess wannabe working with Jo. Noah was trying to show the jockette how to gut bell peppers, a few botched attempts lay to the side. Ella smiled upon seeing this. "Jo, I'm going to the truck to get more bell peppers." Ella said.

"Yeah, sure," the jockette replied distractedly.

\

The scene cut to show Geoff stirring a tall pot of something steaming. In the background Kitty and Xena are shown cutting ingredients. The selfie lover kept giving the blonde worried glances. The party dude frowned then approached the two. Geoff tapped the overlogical girl on the shoulder catching her attention. "You seem to be a little slow, can you take care of the pasta while I take over here?"

"Affirmative." Xena replied, moving to do as instructed.

Geoff began to cut the meat in front of him. "Hey I can tell something is worrying you. I'm here to talk if you need me." The party dude offered.

Kitty sighed. "It's Xena, something's stressing her out but she won't tell me what it is. She keeps telling me it's not important and brushing me off."

Geoff nodded. "I get it, you like wanna make sure everyone is having a good time. I dig that about you, but like you can't help someone if they won't help themselves you know?"

The selfie over smiled as she looked at him. "I know, I have the same problem with my sister sometimes. It doesn't make things any easier though." Kitty smirked."When'd you get so deep?"

"Come on don't do me like that. A guy can be fun and still have his serious moments."

\

The next cut showed Dawn in the back of the delivery truck looking around for tomatoes. The moonchild paused a moment before resuming her task. "You need not wait outside Ella."

The princess wannabe entered the truck. She stared at the floor as her face flushed red. "How'd you know I was there?" She asked softly.

"I've been around you often enough to recognize your aura from memory." Dawn explained as she began placing tomatoes into a bag for transport. There was a silence, as though the moonchild was waiting for Ella to begin speaking.

"Oh... um Dawn do you remember when we were on bony island and I was trying to tell you something but we were interrupted?" Dawn nodded and gestured for her to go on. "W-well what I was trying to say was," the princess wannabe swallowed nervously. "I like you, a lot, like, as more than a friend. I know it's weird but I had to say something.

"I know. I can see it in your aura. I've been waiting for you to say something, and it's not weird." The moonchild replied, tying off the bag of produce.

"If you knew why didn't you say anything?" Ella asked.

Dawn took the princess wannabe's hands in her own. "It was not my place. These are your feelings Ella, you should be the one to express them."

Ella's blush deepened. "W-well I was wondering do you-"

"Hey Princess what's taking those peppers so long?" The sardonic voice was followed by Noah entering the truck. Despite the position he found them in his face remained deadpan. "Jo's already ruined the peppers we have. I gave her the simplest instructions possible and she's still managing to mess it up. Grab the peppers and let's go!"

Ella nodded and grabbed the box of peppers Dawn had found while Noah ranted. The cynic turned to leave. "You know, she likes you back." Dawn told him. Noah froze then shrugged as he left.

(confessional)

Noah: Not that I buy Dawn's whole 'aura reading' but how did she know I liked someone? Regardless of how she knew she should stay out of it.

\

The confessional cut to show Alejandro and Scott at work on their dessert. The Spainard is mixing something in a bowl while the deviant is rolling out the pastry dough. The former frowned at the latter as he was being less careful than the task required. "Perhaps I could be of assistance? I'm afraid the crust needs a more... delicate touch." The charmer offered moving to take the rolling pin.

Scott moved the utensil away. "Why don't you stick to your custard Al?"

The Spainard bristled but retained his demeanor. "This job may be more suited for your strengths." He tried to reason.

Scott rolled his eyes at him. "Why? Because I'm only good at utilitarian tasks?" the deviant scoffed digging the rolling pin harder into the flakey crust as if daring him to try anything.

"I was merely giving you a suggestion." Alejandro explained calmly, despite his tone he gave the deviant an almost imperceptible glare

"Keep your suggestions to yourself Al." Scott replied leveling his own glare at the Spaniard.

Chris looked over the pair of swinging doors that lead into the kitchen and chuckled. "Tension, my favorite." He smirked. "You have three hours and counting."

\

The footage cut to Trent and Amy working their own team's dessert. The older twin was whisking something in a small saucepan, while the guitarist beat a mixture in a large bowl. He looked as though he were trying to ignore the former's existence, something which was hard to do as Amy kept inching closer. "Is there something you need?" He asked tersely.

"I just wanted to say you have such a unique eye color." The older twin flattered, fluttering her lashes.

"Thanks, but I'd rather not speak to you unless it's important." The guitarist replied.

Amy stopped stirring the contents of the saucepan and frowned. "Like, what's your problem?"

Trent began to beat the mixture in his bowl vigorously. "My problem is that I know you were behind Sammy's elimination and now you're flirting with me like it's no big deal."

The older twin huffed and crossed her arms. "Who cares about Samey? She's just a worse version of me!" At this point the saucepan began to smell a bit.

"Her name is Sammy! I'm sick of you putting her down! You know you're the reason she thinks so little of herself!" the guitarist failed to notice the mixture sloshing out of the bowl as he swung his right arm in anger. A brief shot of the Bass is shown, many of them with wide eyes.

"Well she should, considering she's so awful!" Amy yelled, at this point the saucepan was smoking.

"She's not-" Trent's eyes widened as he sniffed. "Is something burning?" Everyone in the kitchen turned to the saucepan. Before it got any worse Noah rushed over with a fire extinguisher and put it out.

"Great, you burned the sugar." Noah said irritably. "I don't know what problems you have with each other and I don't care. Since you clearly can't work together I'm separating you. " The cynic turned to Jo. "Can you keep Complamy in line?"

Jo rolled her eyes, "I have to do everything around here. Alright tweedle dee you're working with me, princess go help lover boy." Sullenly the older twin did so.

\

The next scene began with Dawn walking over to Kitty. The selfie lover was chopping a clove of garlic for the tomato sauce. She turned to the moonchild. "Hey what's up?"

"I was hoping to acquire a tomato or two for the antipasto." Dawn explained.

"Cool, let me get you one." Kitty replied as she began to reach for the nearby bag.

The moonchild spoke softly. "Actually, I needed an excuse to ask you how things are going with Xena?"

The selfie lover glanced at the blonde currently boiling pasta, a look of frustration on her face. "I've asked her about it, but she keeps telling me it's not important. She seems determined to deal with it herself, but it's almost like she thinks ignoring the problem is the best way of dealing with it."

Dawn sighed. "I was afraid of that. From what I can see she doesn't consider emotions worth acknowledging."

Kitty handed the bag of tomatoes to Dawn. "So what can we do about it?"

"I'm not sure there's much we can do. I feel like pushing the issue will only make things worse. The best thing I can think of is keeping an eye on her, if she begins to be a danger to herself or others we must vote her out." The moonchild said, taking the bag.

The selfie lover sighed. "Let's hope it doesn't come to that."

\

We cut back to the Gophers, where Amber is shown handing a plate of chopped vegetables to Crimson for blending. The bookworm turns to find Noah approaching her."Are you busy right now?" The cynic asked, seeming stressed.

"Well I just finished chopping all the vegetables for the Gazpacho and Crimson should be able to handle the rest, so I guess so?" The brunette replied uncertainly.

Noah rubbed his temples. "Good at least that's going well. Remind me to never voluntarily lead a challenge again."

"Sure, it looks stressful." The bookworm agreed.

"You have no idea, anyway Ella's scrubbing out the saucepan Amy just burned sugar to, and Trent has to beat more flan mixture together after he lost half of it venting. So someone needs to get more sugar." The cynic explained.

"Why can't you get it?" Amber asked, Noah gave her a look. "I ask more out of curiosity than anything else. I'm willing to do it.

"Please would you leave this group unsupervised?" Noah asked, gesturing behind him. Trent was shooting glares towards Amy. The older twin was in the middle of an argument with Jo about who should put the peppers into the oven. Ella was singing to herself,neglecting to keep an eye on the sink's water level. In fact the only person not causing some kind of trouble was Crimson who was blending the Gazpacho mix.

"I see your point." Amber nodded. "So where is the sugar exactly?"

"I think there are several bags in a crate somewhere outside. Please hurry, we're way behind schedule." Noah told her just as Amy started to yell at Ella for getting water on her skirt. The cynic sighed and turned to yelled as Amber left.

\

Meanwhile the Bass were doing considerably better. All three dishes were in the later stages of cooking. Alejandro was shown taking out a tray of pastry shells. The Spainard looked satisfied with their shape. He set them on the counter to cool. "Those look pretty good Al." Scott told him.

" No thanks to you, luckily I am an expert at baking." Alejandro retorted, his voice held an edge as though he had given up trying to be polite to the deviant.

"Come on Al, you know I did my best right?" Scott replied a gloating lilt to his voice as he smiled at the Spaniard a bit too innocently.

Alejandro grit his teeth. "That remains to be seen."

Scott adopted a false frown. "Well I've lived on a farm my whole life, I like eating dirt clods. The most delicious meal I've ever had involves rat meat. How am I supposed to know anything about making a fancy dish like this?" He replied,a pleading sound in his voice.

Alejandro looked to be about to respond when Geoff picked up a plate of freshly made sandwiches interrupting all conversations. "Hey guys!" Geoff announced "I made us some sandwiches so we can chow down while we work!"

"Good, I could use a lunch break, wouldn't you say Al?" The deviant asked as he smirked at the Spaniard, before turning to get a sandwich. Many other Bass were helping themselves and Alejandro took the moment of distraction to glare daggers at Scott.

(confessional)

Alejandro: As an expert of manipulation I know Scott is trying to rile me. Though I'll admit it is quite difficult to retain my composure. Nonetheless it will take more than that to break Alejandro Burromuerto.

\

The footage cut to Amber as she carried a box full of sugar bags. The bookworm froze as she spotted something offscreen. The camera zoomed out to show she is outside the Gopher cabin, a bee hive hangs from under the awning. The bookworm frowned as she realized the fastest way to the mess hall was going under it. Amber sighed and tried to tiptoe past.

Unfortunately the bookwoom failed to see a nearby rake and stepped down on it. She screamed and jumped, dropping the box she held. The bees are disturbed by the noise and fly towards the brunette. Her eyes widened as she saw them. She quickly grabbed a nearby bag of sugar and ran off screen, the bees following.

\

The Gophers are in different stages of preparation. Crimson has finished the gazpacho and has it chilling. Jo is watching the oven as Amy cleans up. Trent and Ella have a dish ready for the flan, they just need to melt the sugar. The group is brought to attention as the door slammed open to reveal Amber covered in bee stings. "Here's the sugar." The bookworm moaned as she threw the bag towards Ella.

Noah frowned as he approached the brunette. "Those stings don't look too good. Can you keep working?"

"If someone helps treat them maybe." Amber managed to say.

Noah looked to be about to say something when Jo scoffed. "Really? You're gonna let a bunch of insect stings slow you down? We don't have time to treat you, just suck it up."

Noah turned to the jockette with a scowl. "She's clearly in no state to continue."

"Oh yeah? Well you may be in charge of the menu scrawny but I'm still the leader, and I say she's fine!" Jo growled back to him.

"And what are you going to do if she makes it worse?" The cynic said, folding his arms.

Jo got in his face. "If she makes it worse we'll just vote her off!" The jockette yelled.

As the two argued the camera panned past the Bass to where Alejandro and Scott stood with their nearly finished dessert. The Spainard frowned and walked to Geoff. "Do you think you can help Scott finish the dessert? I cannot stand by while a lady is injured."

The party dude got a wry grin. "No problem dude, I'll take care of things here you go get your girl.

Alejandro nodded his thanks and approached the brunette as Jo and Noah continued to argue. Amber was standing unsteadily as she watched the two. The Spaniard picked her up bridal style without bothering to ask her team for permission. The bookworm blushed as she realized where she was. "Alejandro?"

"Far be it for me to leave a lady in distress. I will take you to the medical tent." The Spainard replied as he left the kitchen. It was only after he had left that Jo and Noah noticed her missing.

"Where's Braids?" Jo asked.

"Alejandro took her to the medical tent." Geoff called.

"Why that little-" The jockette began.

"Normally I'd be concerned but we have enough going on at the moment." Noah interrupted. Jo grit her teeth but nodded.

\

The footage cut to the medical tent where Chef sat in the corner grumbling to himself. Alejandro entered the tent."Chef, I have a patient for you."

Chef raised his brow. "She doesn't look that bad."

The Spainard sighed. "If you will guide me to the medical kit I will tend to her myself."

The cook grunted and pointed over to an area on the right side of the tent. Alejandro nodded and carried the brunette to a nearby chair. The bookworm blushed as he ran his eyes over her. "You are lucky, there are no stingers stuck in your skin."

The charmer moved off camera as Amber sat dazedly. He came back with bandages, cotton swabs and rubbing alcohol. "I apologize for any pain this may cause you. I was unable to find any hydrogen peroxide." He said as he wet a swab with the alcohol. He gently applied it to the nearest sting. The bookworm hissed in pain. "Shh chica I know."

The brunette gazed at her feet. "I'm sorry I took you away from the challenge."

"What kind of gentleman would I be if I ignored you?" The Spainard replied not looking up from his task. "Besides you are far more important than any challenge."

(confessional)

Amber: Look I know he's trying to manipulate me, but the fact remains that good intentions or not he tended to every one of my stings. So maybe he's not as bad as I first thought.

Static

Alejandro: Not only will I gain her trust, but I'll throw her team off as well.

\

The Latin riff that usually accompanied Alejandro played as a vase full of red carnations was placed upon a pale green tablecloth. The shot pulled back to show Ella as the one who's placed it. Chris sat at a table decorated with a purple ribbon accented by orange flowers. The same kind of ribbon was hung over the kitchen and there was a candelabra on the left side of the table.

"Your meal will be served shortly sir." Ella told the host with a curtsy.

Geoff lit the candelabra, blew out the match, and bowed away. "Your meals comin' right up, dude! I mean, sir!"

\

The camera showed close ups of the Gophers dishes. First the Gazpacho, which looked amazing, then the peppers, which had been stuffed a little too full and had a rough cutting job, then finally the flan which didn't look nearly as brown as it should have. The group surveyed the dishes.

"I gotta hand it to ya scrawny, you didn't screw up too bad." Jo admitted.

"Well, they look better than I expected." Noah deadpanned.

The camera panned over to the Bass, who were looking at their dishes in satisfaction. Close up of their dishes were shown, first the well cut but not so artfully designed antipasto, then the mouth watering spaghetti, then finally the slightly too full pastries.

"The food looks amazing!" Kitty exclaimed.

"Yeah, dude if Chris isn't impressed he's got outrageously high standards." Geoff agreed.

"Well we should not keep our host waiting." Xena added.

"Right you are Xena, let's get going." Geoff said, gesturing for the others to head out the door with him.

"I'll stay here and guard the food." Scott offered.

"I will assist him." Xena replied.

"Sure go for it!" Geoff said, as soon as the other members were out of sight Scott glared at Xena.

\

The scene cut to show Chris sitting at a table, the remains of antipasto on his plate as he chewed and swallowed. He smiled and gave the Bass a thumbs up. "Your antipasto passed the test-o! Pass the pasta please!"

Geoff removed the antipasto and placed the plate of spaghetti with meatballs in front of the host. Chris spun a forkful of pasta and placed it in his mouth. He chewed, then slurped the remaining noodle and swallowed. The host put his fingers to his mouth and kissed the air in appreciation."On a scale of one to ten, fifteen." Chris complimented. Kitty jumped happily and Chris turned to the viewers. "And how will the Gophers respond?"

Jo is shown by the kitchen door with Crimson and Noah. The goth holds the bowl that previously held gazpacho. Jo nodded to the nearby swingIng doors and Ella emerged holding the plate of stuffed peppers. The camera got a close up of the dish, each pepper was stuffed so much its contents were spilling over onto the plate. The princess wannabe placed the dish on the table and curtsied.

Chris gave the dish a hesitant look, then shrugged and stuck a fork into one of the peppers. He wiggled the utensil to cut a piece then ate it, an uncertain look on his face. He swallowed then held up his hand in a so-so fashion. "The presentation is lacking and the ratio of filling to pepper is way off, but it still tastes good so I'll give it a six."

Noah glared at Jo. "I told you less is more."

"Yeah, and it doesn't make any sense! More is more! Chris just has bad taste!" Jo retorted.

"So between the gazpacho and this the teams are tied at fifteen points. It all comes down to the final course. " Chris announced, "time for dessert!"

The footage flashed forward to show Chris in the middle of eating one of the Bass' pastries. He takes a bite and chews it for a bit with an uncertain look on his face. He ends with a smile then swallows. "The crust is flat and lifeless but the custard is to die for, seven points."

" The Bass have twenty-one so the Gophers need at least seven points to tie. I have to say the dessert looks promising." The host put his fork In the flan, lifted a bite to his mouth and frowned as he chewed. He swallowed, an odd look on his face. "The texture is awful! You clearly undercooked this, five the final scores at nineteen to twenty-one the Bass are the winners!"

The Bass cheered and the camera panned over to the disappointed Gophers. "Well that's just great! This is all braids fault! If she hadn't gotten injured we'd have won!" Jo yelled.

"Excuse me?" Noah glared. "If you had listened to me in regards to the food we'd have gotten a higher score on the peppers."

" You're out of line scrawny!" Jo warned.

"The entire team is out of line! Where were your leadership skills Jo?" Noah huffed folding his arms and turning his back to the jockette.

"Okay," Chris said, causing the campers to focus on him, "The Bass now lead seven to the Gophers' soon to be six, and as promised, the winners will be enjoying a reward tonight." A drumroll started as Chris made his announcement. "A five-star dinner, under the stars."

The Bass cheered again, Kitty hugged Geoff as she jumped up and down in excitement. "We won! Nice going head chef." Kitty complimented.

Geoff played with his shirt collar nervously. "It's no big D."

\

Trent was shown sitting on the porch of his cabin and sighing. "Something bumming you out?" A deadpan voice interrupted. The guitarist turned to find Noah sitting beside him.

"Yeah, it's Amy. I want to vote her off but I don't think I can. Jo's dead set against Amber, Ella likes Amy for some reason,and it's not like Amy will vote herself off." The guitarist confessed.

"Well I could help you out. Amber's on the chopping block so she won't be hard to convince and Crimson usually votes with me because she doesn't really care who goes. So if I were to vote for her..." Noah trailed letting the offer hang in the air.

Trent raised a brow. "What do you want in return? You don't seem like someone who does things unless it benefits you somehow." He replied skeptically.

The cynic smirked. "You know me well. Here's the deal: I help you vote out Amy now and you owe me a vote later. I can call for this vote any time and have to vote for who I say. No matter how much you like them, or how much you want to vote for someone else."

Trent frowned. "You're being awfully specific." He noted.

"I don't want to be accused of withholding information." Noah explained, he held out his hand. "So do we have an accord?"

\

Inside the Gopher cabin the alliance was having a meeting. "So it's settled we're voting off braids right?" Jo asked in a way that was more of a demand.

Amy nodded but Ella didn't seem as sure. "But Amber made a lot of progress with her prince today."

Jo rolled her eyes. "That's exactly the problem Ella. Her 'prince' is on the other team. How can we ensure her loyalty if she's smitten with the enemy?"

"I like someone on the other team, how can you trust me?" Ella asked.

"Because I know you'd never turn your back on me." Jo replied. "Right?" She growled.

Ella shook her head. "No."

(confessional)

Jo: Amber has flirted with that Spanish loser for the last time. That said scrawny is on my hit list.

Trent: I know it's risky but I want Amy gone, so I took Noah up on his offer.

Static

Ella: I'm sorry Amber...

Static

Crimson: I vote for Amy.

Static

Noah: Jo thinks she can boss me around because she has an alliance? Let's see how confident she is after losing a member.

Static

Amber: I really hope this works..

As the elimination ceremony begins we see Trent glaring at Amy from the back row. In the front row Jo glares at Amber as the bookworm buries her face into the open pages of her book.

"I've got seven Gophers sitting in front of me tonight," Chris said as he approached the campers, smile on his face and plate in hand."But only six fluffy bits of sweet safety in my hands! So," he paused, placing the plate of marshmallows on the nearest stump."good luck! When I call your name, come up and get a marshmallow. Noah!" The cynic smirked and claimed his treat.

"Trent!" The guitarist claimed his marshmallow but his glare never left Amy.

"Ella!" The princess wannabe skipped to the stump and gleefully grabbed her marshmallow. On her way back she gave Amber a sympathetic look.

"Crimson!" The goth took her treat without any fuss though her mouth twitched upwards when she returned to find Noah smiling at her.

"Jo!" The jockette gave everyone a smug look as she collected her marshmallow.

"Amy, Amber," Chris said as the remaining two sat up. "It's down to you! Whoever doesn't get this last marshmallow must immediately walk the Dock of Shame. and leave on the Boat of Losers! Forever!"

As the music swelled Amber is shown burying her head further into her book while Amy smirks with confidence. The final marshmallow goes to...," the host began as the camera focused on the last bit of fluffy immunity. As the pause lingered the camera shifted between close ups of the two remaining campers.

"Amber." Chris announced. The brunette heaved a sigh of relief.

"What!" Amy shrieked. "You can't be serious!"

"Tweedle dee's right! I demand a recount!" Jo yelled, stomping her foot on the ground.

"Why would anyone vote off Amy?" Ella cried.

"Well they did, the boat of losers is that way." Chris smirked.

"Oh no, I'm not leaving without seeing the votes first!" The older twin demanded.

"Chef get her out of here." Chris ordered. The cook picked up the twin as she swore vengeance against those who had voted against her. "That's it for tonight!"

\

The silhouette of a wolf howling in front of the moon is shown before the camera cuts to the door of the Bass cabin. A hand is seen knocking against the door. Geoff opened the door and the camera switched to a side shot of the porch revealing Amber as the one who'd knocked. The brunette was staring at her feet. "Um, is Alejandro here?"

The party dude grinned knowingly "Al! Your girl's here!" He called. Amber blushed at being called as such.

The Spainard came to the door with a scowl on his face, which changed to a smirk as he saw the brunette. "A late night visit? To what do I owe the pleasure?"

"Um, I know you were just trying to manipulate me earlier, but you did treat my bee stings, s-so here!" Amber spluttered thrusting the contents of her hands to the Spaniard. It was a maroon elastic, like the ones she used to keep her hair in place. "I know it's not quite as big a deal but it matches your shirt and I think you'd look hot with a ponytail okay bye!" The brunette said in a single breath before turning to leave. Alejandro grabbed her shoulder to keep her there.

"I will cherish it." The Spaniard whispered. Amber's face was bright red. There was a pause as neither of the two moved. Eventually Amber swallowed and walked away.

Geoff returned to the door and smiled at Alejandro. "Dude she's totally into you."

Chapter Text

The recap begins with the usual shot of Chris on the dock."Last time, on Total Drama Island!" A panning shot of the Gophers and Bass in the kitchen is shown."Things really got cooking between the campers! "Trent is shown fighting with Amy, followed by a shot of Scott annoying Alejandro. "Trent's frustration with Amy reached a boiling point, while Scott did his best to grate on Alejandro's nerves." Amber is shown coming into the kitchen covered in bee stings. "Meanwhile Amber was stung by the realization that Alejandro might not be so bad."

Geoff lighting the candelabra is shown. " Geoff led the killer bass to victory and the Gophers had to send someone home." Clips of the Gopher alliance meeting and Noah holding out his hand to Trent are shown. "The alliance planned to vote off Amber but thanks to a little deal offered by Noah, Trent finally got rid of Amy." The clips of the alliance's surprise and Amy being picked up are shown. "with the alliance finally broken up, how much does the team trust each other? Will the Bass ever rid themselves of Scott?" Chris questioned as the recap ended. "Find out, this week! On Total. Drama. Island."

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode proper begins with a shot of an empty tray. Chef's arm is shown dropping a scoop of something that looked a bit like red mashed potatoes. He then proceeded to place a drinking straw in it. "Today's breakfast is Spanish-Italian fusion casserole." The cook announced.

"Made with the remainder of our dishes from our previous challenge I presume?" Xena observed.

"Yeah, that's right!" Chef barked, shoving his face towards the blonde. "You got a problem with that?!"

Xena looked at the food and shook her head. "Negatory, it is by far the most nutritional sustenance you have served us thus far." She remarked turning away from the cook, who glared menacingly at her back.

The over logical thinker is shown sitting down at her table. Nearby Dawn is feeding her rabbit greens she had presumably collected from the forest. Xena winced and rubbed her hand in remembrance of the rash that had previously been there. Scott smirked. "Still scared of the rabbit nerdette?"

Xena began to eat her food. "For the twelfth time I am not afraid of the rabbit, I am afraid of the adverse reaction my skin has when coming into contact with it." She replied, not bothering to look at him. She turned her head towards Dawn. "You will remove any fur it sheds from my proximity right?"

The moonchild nodded. "Of course, it doesn't want to hurt you any more than you wish to be hurt by it. "

Scott scoffed. "Yeah because it's so weak even nerdette could hurt it. Why are you even bothering, you said yourself it wouldn't survive the wild. Don't you tree huggers believe in letting nature take its course?"

"I am not a tree hugger, I merely appreciate that which is lost on you." The moonchild replied serenely.

Scott looked like he was about to say something else but Alejandro cut him off. "Must you provoke everyone at the table?

"Why don't you mind your own business Al?" The ginger sneered.

"The well being of the team is my business." Alejandro retorted.

Scott scoffed. "Yeah, that elastic in your hair really inspires loyalty."

"It was a gift." The Spainard defended.

"Yeah from the enemy team." the ginger smirked triumphantly.

As the Spaniard bristled the camera pans to show Duncan filling an orange-brown mug with water. The delinquent paused and scanned the area, his unibrow shifting from side to side. He then stuck a second mug under his shirt. "If you were trying to be subtle you've failed miserably." A droll voice stated.

The camera zoomed out to show the speaker as Noah. Duncan turned to the cynic and rolled his eyes. "Or maybe I just didn't care if you saw." He retorted.

Noah responded with an eye roll of his own. "One day you're gonna cut yourself on that edge."

The delinquent raised a fist. "Just because you got one up on me during the paintball challenge doesn't mean I have to take this crap from you Noah-it-all."

Noah smirked. "Noah-it-all? How unoriginal, but then it is you saying it."

"Whatever, I've gotta get out of here before Chef notices the mug." Duncan scoffed as he walked off.

\

The scene cuts to Noah sitting at his table and beginning to eat. "Is there any particular reason you're trying to burn a hole through my head?" The cynic deadpanned as the shot zoomed out to show Jo glaring at him.

"First you try to usurp me, then you get my ally voted off, then you fraternize with the other team, and you have the gall to ask me why I'm glaring at you?" Jo growled.

"You were failing us last challenge, everyone outside your alliance voted Amy off, and I was just bantering. If you wanna talk about fraternizing might I suggest Ella?" Noah responded.

"Princess knows her place, you don't, more importantly Ella's not the only one fraternizing. Right braids?" The jockette spat.

Amber buried her face further into the book she read. "R-right Jo the next time someone offers to heal my wounds. I'll just let them swell up. I'm sure that'll help the team." She managed to snark.

\

An emotional ditty played over a forest background as Chris entered the frame. a frown on his face. "Hi," he began in a somber tone."Chris here. Sometimes teams...just don't get along! So the producers and I thought that the best way to work through the group friction would be," He grinned. "to exploit it for laughs!" The host rubbed his hands in anticipation. "This is gonna be awesome!"

\

The scene cut to the two teams lined up on the dock as the team logos appeared in each corner over the indicated team. "So!" the host began. "Last week's challenge exposed a few Gopher issues," Jo is shown glaring at Noah, while Amber glared at Jo from over the rim of her book. Ella is staring sadly at the dock. "aaaand I'm sensing a little something funky floating in the Bass pond too!" Scott is shown smirking at Alejandro as the Spainard smiles tensely back. Xena is staring at Scott with her eyes narrowed while Kitty watches the blonde nervously.

"So," Chris continued as both teams were shown in their entirety. "this week's challenge is gonna be centered around building trust, because," Chris grinned, "all good things begin with a little trust!"

(confessional)

Noah: Many bad things also begin with trust, break ups, cheating, extortion, embezzlement, crappy kickstarters, the list goes on.

Static

"There will be three major challenges that have to be completed by two or more members of your team," Chris explained as Duncan rolled his eyes. "Normally, we like to have the campers choose their partners," He said with a chuckle in his voice. "but not this time! More fun for me!"

\

The footage skipped ahead to show the campers assembled at a nearby cliff as tense music played in the background. . "Okay!" Chris began as the camera panned up the cliff face. . "So for the first challenge, you'll be doing an extreme freehand rock-climbing adventure! Alejandro and Scott will play for the Bass," Chris announced as the camera cut back to his close-up then switched to the Gophers, "Amber and Jo for the Gophers."

The bookworm swallowed as Jo glared at her. "Here's your belay and harness!" Chris said, throwing the equipment carelessly. Amber moved to catch it but Jo snatched it quickly.

"Braids I don't trust you to hold me up, not with those arms." The jockette scoffed

"And you don't think those Arms might have some trouble climbing a cliff!" Amber yelled with a squeak in her voice.

"You won't be holding her up exactly," Chris interrupted. "One camper pulls the slack through the belay as their partner climbs," the host demonstrated as the bookworm and jockette glared at each other. "If their partner falls the belay will stop them from crashing." he continued as he threw the slack to Alejandro.

"The catch?" Chris continued as he pointed to both sides of the cliff. "Both the side and the base of the mountain are rigged with a few minor distractions like," each trap was shown in turn. "rusty nails, slippery oil slicks, mild explosives," several bundles of Dynamite were shown already ticking along one stretch of rock. "aaaand a few other surprises."

"Wicked traps dude!" Geoff exclaimed.

"The person on belay must also harness their partner up," Scott is shown glaring at Alejandro while the Spainard smirks back at him. Amber and Jo continue to glare at each other. "It's all about trust people, and, remember, nev-er let go of the rope! Your partner's life depends on it!"

"Seriously Jo I can't climb this! You're strong can't you trade with me?" Amber asked desperately.

"All the more reason I should belay, if I fell there's no way your scrawny arms could keep hold of the rope. Now shut up and let me harness you!" Jo demanded.

"You'd better not drop me Al." Scott warned as the Spaniard harnessed him.

"Relax my teammate, I assure you I can more than hold your weight. Alejandro replied as he secured The equipment. "Of course whether or not you fall is more up to you than me." The Spaniard continued letting his face grow serious. "If you run into too many traps I cannot guarantee you won't have an accident." He finished putting an emphasis on accident and tightening the harness a little too tight.

"Oh trust me Al, I know all about 'accidents'." The ginger snarled.

The camera cut back to the Gophers where Amber is now harnessed. "Alright you're as safe as I can make you braids, don't mess this up." Jo threatened.

The brunette gripped the jockette's shoulders. "You cannot let go of the rope Jo! I have terrible grip. I'm almost guaranteed to fall!" Jo rolled her eyes.

(confessional)

Amber: I'm not afraid of heights, but freehand rock climbing is dangerous. The amount of safety protocols you need to follow to be safe is way higher than I'd like!

Static

The music became foreboding as a close up of some of the nails in the Cliffside was shown. A trembling hand gripped the rock then the shot zoomed out to show Amber slowly making her way up the cliff side, it then zoomed out further to show Scott was ahead. Amber inched her way upwards testing every hand and foothold before putting her weight on it. Scott's lead began to widen significantly.

"Hurry up braids you're going too slow!" Jo barked at her partner.

Despite clearly be terrified Amber still managed to retort, "If you wanted speed you should have done it yourself!" The bookworm continued to climb slowly, but despite being careful she still set off a bomb. The brunette screamed as she was blown from her purchase. Luckily Jo was able to stop her descent.

"Great now we're even further behind!" The jockette complained.

"I promised surprises!" Chris said, entering the shot with a finger raised. He showed a camera a large water gun. . "Habañero pepper sauce, anyone?" The camera cut to a close up of the gun's nozzle as it was fired, thick red sauce spewed forth hitting someone off screen.

"Gah! What the heck McLame!" Jo groused, her head and shoulders covered in sauce. She let go of the rope and began to rub her eyes in an attempt to remove the sauce from them. In the background Amber let out a shrill scream as she fell to the ground.

"Muy caliente!" Chris said as he flashed the camera a smile. Another stream of sauce was headed towards Alejandro. who had removed his shirt and tied it around his head. The Spaniard turned to reveal he had used the fabric as a blindfold.

"Very impressive Chris, but it will take more than that to beat Alejandro Burromuerto!" The charmer proclaimed, flashing the host an equally gleaming smile.

The shot back to a surprised looking Chris. "Do we have any more?" He whispered.

The footage cut to slightly later in the challenge. Amber was still behind Scott, a fact that Jo was not happy about. "Braids hurry up!"

"No, you've already let me fall once! I'm not risking it!" The brunette yelled as she tested her next handhold.

"Relax I've tied the rope around my waist, if McLame tries that trick again we're ready!" Jo retorted the camera showing that she had done as she claimed.

"I'm pretty sure that isn't following safety protocol!" Amber replied as she grabbed the place she'd tested.

"Protocol schmotocol, just climb!" The jockette demanded.

An explosion went off just over the bookworm's head. She braced herself, causing her to glance down. The brunette blushed wildly as she saw Alejandro was now shirtless. Her distraction combined with her already weak grip caused her to fall. The force lifted Jo up the mountain and the two hit each other, hanging from each end of the belay. "I told you it wasn't safe!" Amber said as she glared at Jo.

Scott continued to climb and quickly reached the summit. "Looks like the Bass have won the first challenge!" Chris announced as the deviant smirked.

"Hope you like losing vermin!" Scott called to the gophers.

\

The next challenge began with two spotlights moving through the mess hall. They stopped at either side of the hall as a third spotlight turned on to illuminate a podium that had been placed in front of the fireplace. The two pairs on each team were moved into view as though they'd been on mechanical platforms. First Noah and Trent for the Gophers, then Kitty and Duncan for the Bass. The camera panned up from the Bass and an unknown white man flipped on screen landing behind the podium. Chris rose up, dusting himself off as though he'd done the trick himself. He folded his arms and grinned cockily at the camera.

"And now round two!" he announced as the camera zoomed out to show the teams looking at him. Oddly enough Crimson was standing behind the Gopher pair. "The Extreme! Cooking! Chal-lenge!" He dramatically continued as the unknown man crawled out from behind him and into the kitchen as the five teens watched him.

"Each team must choose who cooks, and who eats," Chris explained.

Duncan frowned. "Chris why do the Gophers have three members?"

The host and Trent turned to see the goth, shocked looks on their faces. "I just wanted to watch." She deadpanned.

"Well as long as you don't help, I don't see why you can't. Now about who's cooking?" Chris said, returning the conversation to the challenge.

"I've always wanted to try cooking by myself!" Kitty exclaimed.

"That's cool with me." Duncan nodded.

"I'll cook, knowing Chris this is gonna be something difficult and I'd rather you be the one to eat it." Noah told Trent.

"Gee thanks." The guitarist deadpanned.

(confessional)

Trent: Sure Noah can be a bit callous but he's usually right.

static

"Today you'll be preparing fugu sashimi," Chris announced, "the traditional Japanese poisonous blowfish." Chef pushed a cart on screen, a tank sat upon it containing two trembling blowfish.

The camera cut to the two Gophers. Trent gave Noah a nervous glance,while the cynic mouthed, "told you so.' A gong sounded startling the two. An incredibly basic diagram of where to cut the blowfish was projected next to the host, who grabbed a nearby pointer for help in his explanation. "The fugu blowfish contains enough lethal toxin to kill thirty people," Chris said as Chef tapped the tank with a fish net to puff them up.

"Fishies?" the cook said, picking up the fish by their tails, "meet your maker!" He threw the enlarged fish onto the cutting boards in front of Noah and Kitty. The former remained deadpan while the latter looked nervous.

"They must be sliced veeerrry carefully," Chris told them, "to cut around the poisonous organs." Kitty poked her fish lightly while Noah listened. "The poison paralyzes the nerves, and," He grinned darkly, "there is no antidote!" He returned to his normal tone of voice. "So no worries!"

Trent eyed his partner nervously. "You have taken biology right?"

"Trent I've aced biology,"Noah deadpanned. His next words were accompanied by a smirk. "and I don't hate you enough to deliberately poison you."

"The toxin would be wasted on him anyway." Crimson droned. Trent started having forgotten she was there.

"Crimson did you know we'd be preparing something lethal? Is that why you wanted to watch?" Trent asked the goth anxiously.

"I only hoped." The goth replied looking at the blowfish in a manner that almost seemed excited, despite her deadpan face.

\

A plate of piled sashimi was shown as a sprig of parsley was placed on top. Kitty grinned "I'm finished!"

At the bass table Noah's sashimi looked the same though his was far more neatly stacked and he hadn't bothered with parsley. He pushed the plate to Trent who looked at the food and nervously picked up a piece. Chris and Chef are shown watching excitedly as the guitarist slowly put a piece in his mouth, chewed and swallowed. He waited a second, then grinned as nothing bad happened. "Well sorry I doubted you man." He told his partner, who gave him a self satisfied smirk

The camera moved back to Chris and Chef as focus shifted to the Bass. Kitty placed her plate in front of Duncan. "I'm pretty sure I did it right." She reassured him.

Duncan scoffed. "Please like I'm scared of eating a fish." The delinquent popped a piece in his mouth with no hesitation. He seemed fine. "See what'd I tell ya." He remarked. Then there was a gurgling sound as he fell over. The delinquent grabbed the table in an attempt to stay upright, his skin now a bluish tint. "Kit Kat, I'm never letting you cook for me."

"That's fair." Kitty agreed.

The delinquent fell to the floor, twitching as vomit flowed from his mouth. Kitty looked apologetic while Trent looked horrified "That could have been me."

"It's cool," Chris told them, "give him twenty-four hours and he'll be up walking and breathing good as new."

"Is anyone gonna help my friend?" Kitty asked. Duncan is shown in the middle of another spasm. Chef, who had somehow managed to change into a nurse uniform, leaned in to give him mouth to mouth. Duncan let out a gurgled horrified scream as the scene faded to black.

\

A close up of the sun is shown, then the camera zoomed out to show Ella and Dawn sitting on the dock together. The former clutched bunny to her chest while her right hand scratched behind the mammal's ears. "Thanks for letting me hold bunny." The princess wannabe said.

"I could tell from your aura you were sad about Amy's departure." Dawn replied. Ella looked down into the water as though in thought. Dawn waited patiently letting her gather her thoughts together.

"Dawn, can I ask you something?" The princess wannabe said hesitantly. The moonchild nodded in expectation. "What kind of person was Amy? What does her aura tell you?"

The moonchild looked taken aback as though this were not the question she'd expected. Then she smiled and nodded. "Amy's aura is a mixture of muddy forest green and bright yellow, with hints of muddy red and a dirty brown overlay. She is filled with jealousy, blaming Sammy for many of her problems. She lacks personal responsibility and is very insecure. She's terrified of losing control, respect, and any power struggle. She hides her fears behind anger and has trouble letting go of negative emotions."

Ella continued to look at the surface of the lake. "Dawn? Should I stop being friends with Amy?"

"That is up to you. By hanging around her your risk yet negative energy affecting your own aura." Dawn explained. The princess wannabe nodded towards the lake sadly. Dawn cupped her face bringing her head to eye level. "But the opposite is also true, your positive energy could affect her aura. The question is are you willing to risk it?"

Ella frowned. "I don't know, but I'd hate to leave her alone."

\

Duncan is shown on a medical cot still suffering from the poison's effect. A trail of vomit led from his mouth to a nearby pool. He was making annoyed gurgling noises. The shot zoomed out to show Chef next to the cot, still wearing the nurse uniform. He looked from the delinquent to a syringe holding a purple fluid, a smirk on his face. "This won't hurt a bit," he told him with a tap to the needle, "it'll hurt a whole lot."

The shot zoomed out further still to show a worried Kitty walking around the medical pavilion. She paused as her foot was hit by something. The selfie lover looked down to see a piece of paper blown in by a light breeze. Curiously she picked it and read it aloud. "There is no place I'd rather be, than drowning in your apathy. A poem?" She frowned. "But who wrote it,and who's it for?"

\

"Good news!" Chris announced as the camera panned down through the forest showing the remaining campers standing in a line before him. "The third round involves three more challenges! It's the Three Blind Challenges!" the host explained holding up three fingers. He listed off the challenges as the camera panned over the campers. . "It begins with the Blind William Tell, followed by the Blind Trapeze, and culminating in the treacherous Blind Toboggan."

The camera focused on Crimson and Noah. The goth spoke. "Hey, I just wanted to say, the way you delicately prepared that fish for consumption gave me goosebumps." She deadpanned.

Noah smirked. "There is an art to it. I'm surprised you appreciated it."

"Taxidermy is one of my hobbies." She explained.

The host put a pair of safety glasses like those used in the paintball challenge on Amber, then placed an arrow on her head.

"Like legendary marksman William Tell," Chris explained as he walked back to a basket of apples some distance away. "you'll be knocking arrows off your partner's head with crabapples." He continued picking up an apple from the basket and tossing it up and down in his hand.

"It's the other way around. Seriously, even when you try to make cultural references you fail." Noah snarked.

"Shush!" The host retorted. "Also," He showed the group a white band of cloth. "the shooter will be blindfolded!" The bookworm gasped as her teammates edged away.

"The person who knocks off the arrow while causing the least amount of facial damage," Chris explained the blindfold now around his eyes. He readied a slingshot with an apple. "wins." He released the slingshot and Amber ducked. The apple bounced off a nearby tree and hit Noah in the crotch. The nerd kneeled over as Jo laughed.

"Ahh, nuts!" The host remarked as he peeked out from the blindfold. . "Ella and Crimson you'll be one team," Chris said as the two Gophers looked at each other. "Alejandro and Geoff, you'll be the other."

The Bass looked at each other. "Dude, I can totally nail this!" The party dude exclaimed. Before Alejandro could protest , Chris threw the slingshot to Geoff.

"Okay!" Chris said with a fist pump, "Let's rock and roll!"

The footage cut to show a nervous Alejandro wearing safety glasses with an arrow on his head. The camera panned to show Crimson in the same situation her face as deadpan as usual. Across the clearing stood Ella and Geoff their blindfolds already on. A close up of Chris and the remaining campers is shown Noah still holding his crotch. Both shooters shot off their first apples. Geoff's hit Alejandro's shoulder while Ella's hit Crimson's abdomen.

"Up and to the right Geoff." Alejandro instructed.

"You got it Al!" The party dude said as he released his second shot, this one hitting the Spainard's chin. While Crimson was hit in the chest.

"You almost hit me in the face idiota!" Alejandro yelled his composure shaken. Two more apples were shown flying through the air, Ella's hit Crimson on the shoulder while Geoff's actually hit Alejandro's face. Several more apples were shown hitting the two targets in succession. The goth remained stoic while Alejandro let loose a string of Spanish as his face was hit multiple times. A lot of the Spanish was censored.

Eventually Ella shot an apple that impaled itself on the arrow causing it to fall off. The Gophers cheered. "Don't worry dude I got it this time!" Geoff called.

"Ella already won-" The charmer tried to say but the party dude let loose several more apples which hit Alejandro, a grizzly bear, a seagull, and a purple apelike creature who was watching TV.

"Geoff!" The host cried, gripping the party dude's shoulders. "It's over man let it go!"

"Woah," Geoff remarked as he removed his blindfold. "I'm like so sorry dude! You alright?"

Alejandro is shown swaying from the force of the apple. "It's nothing a little revenge wouldn't fix." He replied before he passed out.

\

The footage cut to the second part of the three part challenge. In front of the remaining teens and Chris was a wooden structure consisting of two platforms with an archway above each. On either side of each arch a wooden beam connected the two sides. Two trapezes hung in the middle of the structure. There were wooden beams up each side that one could climb up. This was all suspended over a body of water.

"And now," Chris announced, "the Blind Trapeze! To avoid serious injury, the trapeze has been set up over this pond," He gestured to the pond before them. "which is full of jellyfish!" a group of purple-pink jelly fish are shown within the pond as an effect of crackling electricity played. Many of the Bass gasped.

"You two," Chris said as he threw blindfolds to Jo and Kitty. "will stand blindfolded on the platform until your partners tell you when to jump." Jo glared threateningly at Noah as Kitty gave Xena an anxious look.

"And then they catch us right?" Kitty gulped.

"Hopefully," Chris replied "Otherwise, that's gonna be one heck of a painful swim. Okay, hut hut!"

The scene skipped to show both blindfolded girls on their respective platforms. Xena was hanging from the trapeze while Noah remained next to Jo. The camera focused on Dawn and Scott.

"So now that Al isn't here I can speak freely with you. I'm concerned, I know you said there wasn't much we could do other than watch him, but I'm worried about what lengths he'll go to, to win." Scott confided.

The moonchild gave him a skeptical glance. "After studying your aura closely I've found as much deceit in it as in Alejandro's. Why should I trust anything you have to say?"

The deviant smirked. "Okay, sure I'm deceitful, but you know I'm right. Something needs to be done about Al. Even if it was just warning someone."

Dawn frowned. "If I make a fuss, he will know and will do all he can to remove anything he perceives as a threat. We must be subtle if we are to beat him."

Scott's smirk widened as a dark look took his eye. "Then you won't mind if he hurts Ella?" The moonchild froze. "I mean think about it, a naive girl like that is a perfect target for him." He shrugged and shook his head. "Of course if you don't care..."

Dawn sighed. "I will think about it."

The deviant grinned. "That's all I ask."

The camera focused on Xena and Kitty. The blonde swung back and forth until she was satisfied she knew the rhythm. "Alright associate Kitty, you must jump precisely at my call. If not you will be electrocuted. Understood?" The selfie lover nodded nervously. "Alright, I shall count you in. At the one you jump." Xena swung forward, "Three," she swung backwards, "Two." She began to move forward. "One" the selfie lover jumped and Xena swung forward to catch her.

The Bass cheered. "Alright you did it whoo hoo" Geoff cried.

Chris gestured to the Gophers Noah was now on the trapeze. "Okay Gophers, your turn!"

Noah began swinging. "Jo, you have to jump when I say so. No hesitation, got it?"

"Yeah, yeah get on with it!" The jockette groused.

"Okay, one." Noah swung forward, "Two." He swung backward. "Three." He said as he swung forward again. Jo jumped and Noah caught her.

"Hey scrawny, you actually caught me!" The jockette cheered.

"I wouldn't celebrate yet." Noah replied his voice tense with exertion as he struggled to hold her weight.

"Scrawny, if you drop me I'll-" Jo began.

"Sorry I'm not dislocating my arm for you." The cynic said as his grip lapsed.

"Scrawny! You-" Jo landed in the pond, jellyfish spilled out as the water crackled with electricity. Screams of anger and pain could be heard as everyone winced.

"Ooo that's a point for the Killer Bass." Chris said.

(confessional)

Noah: Well what did she expect to happen? She's so muscular her arm probably weighs more than my entire body!

Static

\

We cut back to the medical pavilion. A guttural female voice can be heard growling in pain. Followed by the sound of an electric shock as Jo entered the tent, a jellyfish still attached to her head. "When I get my hands on scrawny oww!" The jellyfish shocked her momentarily revealing her skeleton. "Stupid jellyfish! Oww!" The jockette sat on a free cot next to Alejandro. The Spainard woke.

"Qué? Dónde estoy?" He asked in confusion.

"I don't speak Spanish Al." Jo scoffed.

Alejandro bristled but switched languages. "Where am I?"

"You're in the infirmary. " The jockette told him. She turned to Chef. "You got anything for removing jellyfish?" The hulking man nodded and Jo passed out.

Alejandro looked out the tent to see Amber peering in. The brunette ducked out as Chef passed by. Alejandro smirked.

/

The campers were looking at a pair of toboggans leaning against a nearby tree as Chris explained the final challenge. "And now, the final leg!" he announced. "The Blind Toboggan Race!"

"Um, mind running that by me again?" Trent asked nervously.

"Each team will have a driver, and a navigator," Chris explained as the camera panned over the remaining teens. "The driver steers, while the navigator shouts directions. Oh yeah! And the driver will be blindfolded!" Geoff, Kitty, and Dawn gasped.

"Um isn't that fact in the challenge name?" Amber interrupted.

Chris gave her an unamused look but quickly shifted back to his host persona. "Not many of you left huh?" The host noted as he looked over the group. "We keep losing you guys!" He chuckled then waved his hand dismissively. "Oh well. Ah... Amber, Trent, Scott, and Dawn." The two pairs looked at each other nervously.

Dawn walked to Ella handing her the bunny she held. "It will be a dangerous challenge. I leave him in your care."

The princess wannabe nodded seriously. "I will guard him well."

Noah gave Trent a pat on the shoulder. "Well it's been nice knowing you."

\

A flash transition reveals the non competitors at the finish line. The camera panned up to the Island's tallest cliff to focus on Scott and Dawn. "I find it hard to trust you now that I've figured out how to read your aura." The moonchild told the deviant. "How do I know you won't lead me astray?"

Scott rolled his eyes. "I don't want to die, or be seriously injured. I mean how am I supposed to win the competition if I'm in that kind of condition?"

Dawn eyed him, then nodded. "Whatever else you may be lying about that at least is the truth."

She turned to see Chef brushing something slick onto the toboggans. "Just lubin' them up," He said with a devious smirk. "Get a little more speed goin'." Dawn looked scared at the idea.

\

The footage cut to Chris and Chef standing over the gopher's toboggan. Amber was wearing the blindfold. "On your marks!" The host called as he walked to the Bass, Dawn now blindfolded. "Get set!" Chris put his foot on the Bass' toboggan and pulled out an air horn. The shot pulled out to show Chef similarly placed above the gophers. "Go!" The host set off the air horn and the two adults gave their respective toboggans a push.

The music became frantic as the gophers sped down the hill. "Right, left." Trent called. Amber moved to follow his directions just barely avoiding the pines.

"Left," Scott ordered. Dawn moved left but they almost hit a tree. "Watch out for the tree!" Despite Scott not yelling where the tree was, Dawn sensed it and moved accordingly. The camera panned back to show the Gopher duo hitting a sloped rock.

"That doesn't seem good!" Amber cried as they ramped into the air.

Trent had a panicked look on his face. "Oh no!" A splash is heard and it is revealed the two had landed in a river Trent's eyes widened at the waterfall ahead. "I wanted to kiss Sammy before I died!" The guitarist cried as they went over. Luckily they landed on an outstretched log and sprang forward.

The Bass are shown again as the moonchild steered. Scott looked surprised. "How are you doing so well without sight?"

"I'm following the aura's of nature, and that of my beloved companion." The moonchild replied.

"You mean Ella?" Scott teased.

Dawn blushed. "I meant bunny, but I suppose that applies to Ella too."

"Save the sappy stuff, you need to drive." Scott scoffed.

The moonchild shook her head. "Right. I mustn't be distracted."

"Left. Right." Scott called as Dawn expertly maneuvered around the trees. "Looks like your powers are actually useful!" The Gophers landed just ahead of them.

Trent got a determined look on his face."Right. Left." The bookworm followed his directions around the trees.

"Right." Scott said. "Left!" He yelled having seen some obstacle. An explosion went off nearby. The deviant gripped his current partner. "I didn't mean to lead you there! "

"I'm aware." The moonchild replied.

The scene cut to Chris who was holding a detonator in his hand and setting it off with glee. "We had a few explosives left over," the host told the viewers as an explosion went off in the distance. "and I just hate to waste." He depressed the plunger again and several clouds of explosives are shown being set off down the cliff as the drivers desperately call out orders. Until one blast exploded directly under the Gophers, sending the two flying.

The Bass cheered as their pair neared the finish line, only for the Gophers to land directly atop it. The Bass stopped mid cheer looking stunned while the Gophers cheered. Alejandro arrived and frowned as he saw they'd lost. Dawn approached Ella and took her bunny back. "Thanks for watching him for me."

The princess wannabe blushed. "It was nothing." She turned to Amber who was now unblindfolded. "And I'm happy to see your prince was okay. I know you were concerned."

"What, no I wasn't concerned." Amber protested, not noticing Alejandro approach her from behind.

"I believe you were Chica." Alejandro teased. The brunette started a small blush on her face as she turned to him. "I saw you peering into the medical tent earlier."

The bookworm waved her hands in front of her in a no fashion. "It's not like that. I was," She glanced around for an excuse her eyes landed on Jo. "checking on Jo!" She sputtered a nervous smile on her face.

The Spainard drew close. "You are a terrible liar Chica." He whispered.

The flustered brunette flushed darker. "I-I'm not lying." She squeaked.

"Then why didn't you want anyone to see?" The charmer asked a brow raised.

Amber huffed and folded her arms. "Jo was in a bad mood. I-I didn't..." She sighed. "I'm not helping my case am I?"

"No you are not." The charmer answered.

(confessional)

Amber: Okay so I was a bit concerned. That doesn't mean my guard is down.

Static

The camera panned left over the campers revealing Duncan still in a wheelchair being pushed by Chef and gurgling, as well as Jo smirking at the Bass several adhesive bandages on her face.

"And the Gophers are the winners of the toboggan race!" Chris announced, causing the six teens to cheer. "Bass! You're headed to elimination tonight." As he walked away, the Bass frowned. Alejandro and Xena nodded to each other.

\

The killer Bass' logo slid in from the right side of the screen as the ceremony began. The camera panned from the remaining seven Bass to Chris, the usual plate of marshmallows in hand. "Who wants a treat?" He began. "A tasty goody that represents exemption, security, peace of mind-"

"Yes,we are all aware of the terms for elimination. Why do you repeat them? It seems counterintuitive." Xena interrupted.

Chris popped up from behind Geoff and cut to the chase. "And if you don't get a marshmallow you have to walk the Dock of Shame and you can never come back!" He ducked back behind the party dude, then showed up close to Xena's face."Ever!" The blonde merely raised an eyebrow.

"Let's see...one for Kitty, one for Geoff, one for Duncan." The host threw three marshmallows to the campers. Kitty and Geoff tried to catch the marshmallows in their mouths and smiled at each other while Duncan was hit in the forehead. "Alejandro and Xena well done." The Spainard caught his in his mouth just to show off, while the blonde simply caught hers.

"Looks like we only have one left," Chris said as the camera focused on the remaining campers. "Scott and Dawn." The ginger sneered while the moonchild looked slightly nervous. "The final marshmallow..." Chris paused.

(confessional)

Alejandro: While I'm still miffed at Geoff, Scott is the bigger problem. Besides he feels bad about it so I may be able to get a favor from him.

Static.

Dawn looked at the host nervously, while Scott kept sneering. "Are you planning to finish soon?" Alejandro asked.

"Don't rush me!" Chris complained. The audience eats up this kind of dramatic conclusion!"

"...Dawn." The moonchild sighed in relief and caught her marshmallow.

The ginger glared. "I didn't screw up! Why not vote out Duncan? He's confined to a wheelchair!"

"Perhaps we are all tired of your attitude." Alejandro smirked.

"You have done nothing but hinder our ability to win. It is only logical we vote you off." Xena deadpanned.

"Whatever, I'll be waiting until you get voted off, nerdette, Al." The deviant sneered. Alejandro glared while Xena narrowed her eyes. The ginger gave Dawn a look as he stalked off.

Chris turned to the remaining Bass. "The rest of you are safe," he told them. "For now."

\

Scott is shown walking down the dock of Shame. He saw the camera, turned to it and smirked. "Sure I may be out of the contest, but Al isn't gonna win. Mark my words."

Chapter Text

As usual the recap begins with the shot ofs Chris on the dock. "Last time, on Total Drama Island!" The clip of Chris explaining the challenge is shown, with a focus on Alejandro, Xena, and Scott. "The teams were given three challenges that tested their trust in their teammates." The clip of Jo taking the halter is followed by the clip of Amber and Jo hanging from the cliff on either side of the belay. "The rock-climbing challenge left the Gopher's hanging." Duncan is shown chewing Kitty's blowfish, then on the ground twitching. "and Duncan got the bad end of a blowfish courtesy of Kitty."

Scott is shown talking to Dawn before the trapeze challenge. "Scott planted the idea of warning Ella against Alejandro in Dawn's head." Scott and Dawn are shown tobogganing down the hill, followed by Amber and Trent's toboggan flying through the air from an explosive. "And while it looked like the Bass would win, the Gophers fell ahead at the last second in an explosive victory." Alejandro and Xena are shown nodding to each other, followed by Scott walking the dock of shame. "Alejandro and Xena saw their chance and finally got Scott voted out. Shame, I liked his tactics." the usual ending clip plays the recap out. "Stay tuned, for the most dramatic bonfire ceremony yet, on Total. Drama. Island."

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode begins with a shot of the Bass cabin, Geoff lounged on the steps with a thoughtful expression while Duncan carved a skull into the cabin's front wall. Noting his friend's expression he asked. "Dude what's on your mind?"

The party dude sighed. "You think Kitty likes me?"

Duncan rolled his eyes. "Dude, Kit Kat is totally into you."

Geoff frowned. "That's just it though, you guys are like, so close you have a nickname for her." he rubbed the back of his neck uncertainly. "And like I keep seeing her look at Alejandro." He frowned "I don't know man, I never thought I'd be the type who worries about things like that, but I just like her so much." He turned to the delinquents. "What do you think?"

Duncan moved to sit next to Geoff. "Dude as hot as she is, Kit Kat and I are just friends. Besides I know the bro code. I'm not gonna make a move on her." He placed a hand on Geoff's shoulder. "And as for Alejandro you telling me you wouldn't look at an extremely hot chick even if you liked someone else?"

Geoff grinned his demeanor returning to its usual chillness. "Yeah, it's all good I'm just overthinking things."

Kitty walked onto the porch. "Hey guys, what's up?"

Duncan smirked. "Just how much Geoff wants to make o-"

The party dude put a hand over the delinquent's mouth. "Squirrels, we were talking about squirrels."

Kitty gave him a knowing smile. "Sure you were."

The sound of a loudspeaker starting went off, and a military drumline began as Chef Hatchet's voice came through. "Listen up, you little cockroaches!" He barked, gaining the attention of the three Bass. "I want all campers to report to the Dock of Shame at 0900 hours!" A zoomed out shot showed that Jo, Ella, Trent, and Noah were all within the area.

"But that means-" Noah began.

"That means now, soldiers, NOW!" The speaker cut him off, everyone ran immediately.

\

The scene cut to the remaining campers lined up on the dock of shame. From left to right they were Kitty, Ella, Noah, Trent, Jo, Crimson, Amber, Geoff,Duncan, Xena, Alejandro and Dawn. At the end of the row stood Chef,dressed like a drill Sergeant and holding the red megaphone.

"Line up and stand at attention!" The cook ordered through the megaphone, taking a correction stick in hand and walking down the line of campers. "You call this proper formation? Feet together!" He hit Geoff in the shins causing him to yelp and forcing them together. "Arms down!" He hit Duncan's folded arms forcing them to his sides. . "Eyes forward!" Crimson stopped staring at the dock. "Head up!" Jo's head was forced up by the stick, and he finished it off by hitting Amber multiple times as her form was poorest.

"Oh this seems promising." Noah snarked at Trent.

"What did you say to me, soldier?!" Chef yelled, the megaphone in Noah's face.

"Absolutely nothing, maybe you should get your ears checked." Noah deadpanned. Chef gave him a warning look but continued. "And you will continue to say nothin', until I tell you that you can say somethin!" Chef told him.

"Today's challenge will not be an easy one," The cook explained as he paced up and down the dock. "In fact, I do not expect everyone to come out alive." Alejandro rolled his eyes and received a smack to the back of his head for his troubles. The Spainard cried out and gave Chef a glare. "My orders are to make sure that all of the babies in front of me drop out of my boot camp except one. The last one standin' wins immunity for their team."

"Uh where's Chris?" Trent asked.

"Rule number one!" Chef barked, widening his eyes for emphasis. You will address me, as Master Chief! Have you got that?"

"Yes Master Chief!" Everyone but Noah replied.

"You realize that makes you sound like the protagonist of a first person shooter right?" The cynic snarked for which he was hit with Chef's stick.

"You will sleep when I tell you to sleep," The cook continued. "and you will eat only when I tell you to eat!" As he stopped by Geoff a close up of the megaphone was shown briefly. "Is that clear?" He lowered the Megaphone revealing Geoff's scared face reflected in his glasses.

"Yes Master Chief!" the party dude replied.

"Rule number two!" Chef continued holding up two fingers. "When you are ready to give up, you will walk to the end of the dock, and ring the bell!" He pointed across Duncan and Xena to a bell hanging from a wooden pole. "Which brings me to rule number three! I'd like to get one quitter before the end of the first day, and that day will not end until someone drops out!" The cook reached the end of the docks and turned to the campers. . "And get your butts down to the beach, soldiers, now, now, now!" At his command everyone ran down the dock.

(confessional)

Jo: Whoever put Chef in charge of thIs challenge, I gotta say I'm a little impressed. Chris wastes his time on dramatic challenges but none of the other campers could handle pure physical brutality. I got this.

Static

\

The confession cut to the twelve teens lined in two rows on the beach. Before them lay two canoes one of each team's color as well as a deck chair. Chef Hatchet stood in front of the deck chair. "Listen up!" Chef barked. "Each team must hold a canoe over their heads. I catch you takin' your hands off the canoe, and you will be eliminated! And no one eats lunch until someone drops out!" The campers looked at each other in dreadful anticipation.

"Canoes up!" Six pairs of hands lifted up each canoe though the Bass' was slanted as Dawn was much shorter than the others.

"You call this hard chef!" Jo scoffed.

"Piece of cake." Geoff agreed.

"Just wait." Crimson deadpanned.

\

The footage cut to the sun beating down on the campers . Noah groaned in annoyance, while Geoff's stomach grumbled.

"Come on, you sissies!" Chef taunted from off screen. "It's only been three hours!"

"Looks like they missed lunch today," Chris said in a surprise appearance.

"Mmhmm. Guess they just weren't hungry! Unless someone wants to quit now?" The camera pulled out to reveal chef on the Bass' canoe and Chris on the Gophers.

Trent's stomach growled. Noah gave him a look. "If you even think about quitting I promise I will be the worst roommate you've ever had!"

Meanwhile under the Bass' canoe Geoff was talking to Kitty. "So this challenge bites huh?"

The selfie lover nodded. "I can't feel my arms anymore, but you know what they say, things are always better with people you like."

Geoff took his hand off the canoe in a celebratory fist quickly realized his blunder and got his hands back in place just as Chef peeked in."Is there a problem down here?!" he yelled.

"Naw, man it's cool." The party dude replied.

\

Night had fallen and Ella was struggling to keep her eyes open. "Twenty-five of us went in the jungle that night," Chef murmured from the deck chair, a campfire had now been lit by it. "Only five came back out..."

Noah yawned. "And what war were you in exactly?"

"Did I ask you to speak?" Chef yelled at him. "Because I don't remember asking you to speak."

Noah rolled his eyes. "If you were in a war my name is Eliza."

The focus moved to Amber as the Gopher logo slid in on the upper left corner. "Ugh I'm done." She said moving out from under the canoe. "My arms are numb, and I'm too tired to deal with any of this."

She trudged past Chef her arms drooping at her sides. Chef watched her walk past and smirked. "Looks like we got ourselves a quitter!" He squeaked.

"Braids don't you dare-" Jo began but it was too late. The brunette reached the end of the dock and rang the bell with her head. The Gophers dropped their canoe upon themselves as the extra weight proved too much. While the Bass set their canoe down in relief.

Chef put his hand on Amber's shoulder. "Listen here," he said. "you have nothin' to be ashamed of." He dropped his kind tone and pulled out the megaphone. "Except bein' a little baby that let your team down!" He yelled in her face the power of his voice blowing back her braids. "As for the rest of you," He continued turning to the rest of the campers."head to the Mess Hall. Dinner is served!"

"Finally." Jo groaned from the ground.

\

"Alright maggots, open your ears!" Chef yelled over a shot of the mess hall.. "You've got ten minutes to eat before night training begins," he continued as the camera panned across the campers and Chris to stop on Chef himself. "so get to it!"

Several aggravated cries of 'night training?! And 'screw you chef!' came from the group of teens.

"Hey, Master Chief man, where's the food?" Geoff asked.

Chef gestured to a row of metal garbage cans beside him."You're looking at it,"

The view went dark briefly, and it was revealed the shot had moved into one of the garbage cans as the lid was removed by a skeptical Noah. "This is the trash from breakfast. So not much different than usual." He snarked.

Chef glared at him but continued. "Darn right! When you're at war, you take what you can get!" Noah frowned and put his hand into the can, he took out a piece of what may have been food, blew on it and tossed it over his shoulder in a show of defiance.

"Well," Chris said, "I can see you've got this under control. I'm off to Craft Services! Coming?" he asked his co-host.

"Heck yeah, gotta get me some of that!" Chef agreed, following the host out of the room.

Crimson's hand is shown searching the trash can. She pulled out a banana peel and shrugged.

"Okay, I will not be eating this." Alejandro stated,throwing away his tray.

"Nor will I." Xena agreed, dropping her own tray.

"Don't care for today's specials?" Duncan idly remarked.

"Negatory. Moreover I do not think it is challenge appropriate. While it is true that you take what sustenance you can during war, most militaries have a supply of rations, containing food which is not tasteful but supplies adequate nutrition to perform tasks." She gestured to the cans. "This meanwhile is not only inadequate nutrition but likely carries a number of bacteria which could result in illness. I will not be eating it." She finished.

The delinquent rolled his eyes and continued to walk towards Noah. The cynic was now sitting at a table. "Hey Noah, I kind of enjoyed our banter before the last challenge, so I found some apple juice to say thanks." He said holding out a glass of what appeared to be apple juice.

Noah raised a brow skeptically. "Duncan if you think I'm dumb enough to drink anything you give me, you have more holes in your head than piercings."

Nearby Ella had overheard their exchange, the princess wannabe stepped in between the two. "I could not help but hear your generous offer Duncan. If Noah doesn't want the apple juice can I have it?"

Duncan smirked. "Knock yourself out." He replied, handing her the 'juice' which she drank immediately.

Her face scrunched up as she swallowed. "This juice tastes funny. " Duncan burst out laughing.

"Oh sorry, I must have mixed it up with the kitchen grease." Duncan chuckled, clutching his sides.

"I know you're just being mean for attention but it's not funny." A soft voice intervened. The delinquent started as he looked down. Dawn was glaring up at him.

"Pssh, yeah alright crazy. You can believe what you want." Duncan scoffed returning to Geoff and Kitty.

Dawn grabbed Ella by the arm and escorted her to a seat away from the others. Ella still looked confused. "Are you alright? I can tell he hurt your feelings." The moonchild asked.

"A little, "Ella admitted. "But it made him happy so it's alright."

Dawn shook her head and gave Ella a serious look. "No, Ella, not everyone here is a good person." She paused as if deciding something. "Listen Ella there's someone I want you to be careful-"

"I apologize for interrupting but I wanted to make sure you were alright." A low voice interjected. The two girls turned to see Alejandro looking at Ella with concern in his eyes. Dawn knew the concern was false but only because she could see it in his aura.

"O-oh I'm fine." Ella said her hands clasped nervously in her lap.

"Are you quite sure? That was a horrible trick to play on a lovely lady such as yourself." The Spainard schmoozed.

"It's okay I'm sure he didn't mean anything by it." The princess wannabe replied. "But thank you for asking." She giggled.

Alejandro took her hand in his. "Think nothing of it." He whispered, kissing her hand lightly. "It is my duty to help ladies in need." The Spainard turned a knowing gaze to Dawn. "Wouldn't you agree?"

The moonchild's eyes were narrowed at Alejandro. She seemed about to say something when Jo's yell came across the mess hall. "Hey princess! Get over here!"

\

The footage cut to a close up of a boom box playing a version of thriller just different enough to avoid copyright. The shot pulled out to show Chef standing upon a raised platform doing dance moves similar to the song. He shuffled his feet, swung his arms, stomped, and most disturbingly did several pelvic thrusts. The shot cut to a close up of Duncan's feet as he mimicked the moves.

The camera did a quick cut to the campers dancing in three rows reminiscent of a flat topped pyramid. In the far back stood Jo, Amber, and Kitty. The middle row consisted of Noah, Trent, Crimson, and Ella. The front row held Alejandro, Xena, Dawn, Geoff and Duncan. All of the dance moves ending in several pelvic thrusts. The shot zoomed in on each one until someone turned off the music. Everyone gasped.

It was Duncan who had turned off the machine. "One of us drops out we're done for the day." He insisted.

Chef glared. "We'll stop when I say we'll stop!" Chef barked at him. "Now drop and give me twenty!" Duncan rolled his eyes and proceeded to do push ups. "Anyone else got anything they want to say?"

"Yes, I request permission to use the facilities." Xena said a flash transitioned to the blonde in the restroom with a mop, bucket, and rubber gloves. "Although not what I meant, this technically meets the requirements of which I asked. " She remarked.

\

We see the mess hall from the outside briefly then it cuts inside. Chef stood before everyone but Amber seated at their respective tables, his hands behind his back."For your next challenge," Chef told them, "you will complete a 300-word essay about how much you love me. Anyone who falls asleep, or fails to complete the challenge, will be eliminated!"

"Finally something easy." Noah smirked.

"Just for that you're writing 500 words scrawny!" Chef barked.

A flash transitioned to an analog clock, the time read 12:55. A spider had begun to build its web. The clock ticked as it transitioned to 3:00 the spider's web now nearly complete and the buzzer went off. In the foreground Jo had bags under her eyes while Geoff had the same in the background. Noah had his arms behind his head having completed his essay long ago, with Duncan similarly positioned across the room. Ella looked nearly asleep, Alejandro and Xena rubbed their eyes in an attempt to stay awake while Kitty groaned as Chef took her essay away. Duncan smirked as Chef began to read his.

"I love Master Chief Hatchet because he is very very very very very very very very very very very very very very…" This is just one sentence with five pages of "very"s in between!" The cook said angrily.

"It's three hundred words exactly! You can count them if you want." Duncan smirked.

Chef moved onto Noah, and began to read his as well. "In making my essay, about the things which I like about Master Chief Chef Hatchet I must first consider his relationship to me, as a contestant. However in order to do this I must break down what Master Chief Chef Hatchet's role is within Total Drama Island. Master Chief Chef Hatchet is a co host, but what is the nature of a co host? Is he the life and soul of the show, or is he no more than an arm decoration for the true host, superfluous in nature?" Chef stopped reading and glared. "Now did you write 500 words and yet say nothing?"

"It's a gift." Noah smirked.

Chef slammed his hand on the table, waking Ella. "You two slackers are out." He said pointing to Kitty as well. The girl had not finished. "The rest of you, get to bed and report to the playing field at 0500 hours."

As Kitty headed out the door, she spotted another slip of paper. Curious she picked it up and smiled as she discovered it was another poem.

Within your eyes I hesitate, for in them I could suffocate.

Kitty pocketed the paper, wondering who was writing these poems.

The remaining campers stood at the edge of a large pit of mud. The camera panned right revealing a wooden wall with a climbing rope, a pair of hanging ropes with ramps leading to and away, a pair of high tires, and a set of swing axes. "You will all run this course until you can all complete it in under one minute. Am I making myself clear?" He said glaring at Duncan.

" Crystal." The delinquent sighed.

"Go maggots go!" Chef ordered. Everyone began to make their way across the muddy pit. Jo climbed the wall first, followed shortly by Duncan. Trent reached the top of the wall, but was having a hard time getting down. Alejandro jumped the wall easily. Further on we see Geoff jumping through a tire. Crimson is crawling under the axes at the end. Jo pushes Noah out of the way so she can swing on the ropes, already on her second run through.

Xena reaches the top of the wall, but loses her grip on the rope and falls to the ground, a sickening crunch accompanying it. Duncan notices this. "Uh, General Crazy? We've got a situation here."

Chef approached and immediately took note of the angle her foot was at. "I believe I have broken my ankle." She informed him.

"Ring the bell and report to the infirmary! Your tour of duty is finished." Chef told her.

"Wow. Poor Girl." Duncan said.

"Back on the course soldiers, now! One false move and I'll be on you like stink on a poop wagon!"

"I look forward to it, sir!" The delinquent replied with a sarcastic salute.

Sometime later we see more clips of campers attempting to run through the course. We see Noah struggling to climb the wall again as Jo scales it easily. The cynic fall off the wall and groans. A mud covered Alejandro pushes himself through a tire. Dawn trips as she runs towards the axes. Geoff gets tangled up in the swinging ropes. Crimson struggles to duck under the axes.

"Fallen soldier, I salute you!" Duncan called as he continued to crawl. He ran straight into Chef.

"You just bought yourself twenty more push-ups!" He barked.

Duncan got up. "Thank you!" He exclaimed before planting one of his lips. The cook growled as he shook with anger.

"I think you may have pushed him over the edge, bro." Geoff told him.

" I… think you're right." Duncan gulped.

"One-night of confinement. In the boathouse." Chef ordered.

"Please like I mind being alone." Duncan scoffed.

"You won't be alone, because scrawny will be joining you." Chef said, glaring at Noah.

"What did I do?!" Noah complained.

"Back talking to an officer."

/

The first shot of the boathouse is that of a gleaming fishhook. This is followed by that of a shark jaw, and a vague glimpse of something in a bucket. Duncan and Noah sat amongst fishing and boating gear, both looking put out and glaring towards each other. "Should've kept my big mouth shut." Duncan sighed.

"You said it." Noah agreed.

/

In the mess hall a bowl of undefiable white paste is shown. Ella pokes at her meal, glancing towards the Bass table. She gains a determined look as she stands up, ignoring Jo's glares as she walks to the table. "Dawn I'm really worried about Xena."

" You need not be. Her aura shows signs of damage, but nothing too permanent." Dawn replied, attempting to reassure the girl.

"If it makes you feel better, I too am worried about Xena." Alejandro offered.

Ella gasped. "I totally forgot! You and she are friends right? I can't imagine what that would be like!"

"Yes, it pains me." Alejandro sighed.

Ella gave him a hug. "You poor thing." Over Ella's shoulder Alejandro smirked at Dawn.

"I'll take some food to her, if it will make anyone feel better?" Kitty said.

"Why thank you Kitty, You're so kind." Ella said.

/

In the medical tent Xena lays on a cot, her ankle now in a cast. Kitty enters the tent a bowl of white paste in hand. "How are you feeling?"

"I am currently in excruciating pain, my leg has been harmed so I am incapable of walking, and the food you're holding has no nutritional value whatsoever." Xena replied flatly.

"So, bad." Kitty noted. She handed the bowl to Xena. "Are you willing to eat this?"

"Yes, at the very least it is not contaminated." The blonde answered, digging into her paste.

"Actually, I was wondering about something," The selfie lover began. Xena nodded for her to continue. "Do you write poetry?"

"Poetry is nothing more than a vain attempt to convey emotion." the over logical girl said.

"So that would be a no?" Kitty asked.

"Yes. If you don't mind my asking, why did you want this information?"

"I found a couple poems, and thought you might have written them for Alejandro." The pigtailed girl admitted.

"Why would I write poetry for Alejandro?"

"Huh, but I thought-" Kitty cut herself off.

"Thought what?" Xena asked, her brows raised.

"I thought you liked him."

"I enjoy his presence, yes." Xena nodded.

"No I mean like him, like him." The blonde gave her a flat look. "I thought you had romantic feelings for him."

"I see." Xena responded. She went silent after that, clearly lost in thought. Kitty decided she'd better leave.

/

Back in the boathouse Noah was sitting with his arms crossed as Duncan glared at him. "Of all the losers on this island I could be stuck in here with, it's you."

"You think I'm fond of the situation? I'd rather have the bait as company." Noah scoffed.

"Yeah, cause the bait won't beat you." Duncan said, holding up a fist threateningly.

"You don't scare me Duncan, I know your type. You're super self conscious and act out in a vain attempt to feel tough."

"I'll show you tough!" The delinquent growled, grabbing Noah by the sweater vest. He held up his fist to punch him.

"Go ahead and beat me, It'll only prove my point." The cynic deadpanned.

There were a few tense moments before Duncan sat him down with a sigh. "You're not worth it." Moments later Noah's stomach growled. "Hungry are we?"

"I haven 't eaten all day." The cynic sighed.

"Who's fault is that?" Duncan asked.

"Chef's for trying to feed us literal garbage."

Duncan chuckled. "I know where to find good food."

Noah smirked. "I think I know where you're going with this

"Of course it would require working together." The delinquent smirked back.

"If it means screwing over Chris and Chef i'm in."

/

The scene cut to a large tent. Two 'bushes' walk towards it stopping just feet from it. Noah and Duncan poke their heads out and smirk at each other. We cut to the two crawling past a long table laden with delicious food.

"Twenty-five of us went to the jungle that night." CHef said as the two opened the fridge. Duncan put a jar of peanut butter into the bag they'd taken with them. "Only five came back out." Noah rolled his eyes.

"If we get caught, tell Jo she can't take credit for my elimination." The cynic snarked.

"I mean, come on. " Chris told Chef as the shot, cut to him. "I am nothing without my stubble."

"Amen, brother." Chef said pointing at Chris.

We cut back to the two teens, the bag now full of food. Noah smirked and pulled out a rotted applecore. "Let's see how much Chef enjoys garbage."

"Wow, you're vindictive." Duncan told him, almost sounding impressed. He grabbed one last thing, then the shot cut to the two running away.

/

We see the Bass cabin briefly before cutting inside. Amber is sitting on the bottom bunk of a bed, spreading strawberry jam onto a slice of bread. On the floor nearby sits Noah eating a cookie. "Seriously what is with those war stories?"

"I know, it's hard to believe Chef was actually in a war." Amber took a bite out of her bread. "I don't envy you guys."

The camera panned to show Duncan, Geoff, and Kitty all talking to each other, the girl sitting on a lower bunk. "Man you guys brought back the works." Geoff said with his mouth full.

"I figured we deserved it after everything Chef's put us through." Duncan smirked.

"I don't know guys, I actually liked this challenge, well aside from the essay." Kitty admitted.

We hear a burp from offscreen and the camera panned over to Jo. "That was great."

"Charming." Noah deadpanned.

"Dude that was awesome!" Geoff told her.

From the side lines, Dawn and Ella sat, a plate holding a single ice cream sandwich between them. The princess wannabe reached for the sandwich. "Ella I don't think you should eat that." The moonchild told her, placing a hand atop hers.

"Okay Dawn I trust you." Ella smiled.

Dawn looked nervous. "Ella would you like to go view the stars?"

"Of course." The two walked out to the porch. "It's lovely tonight, isn't it?"

"Yes, it is." There was an awkward silence between them.

"Dawn, do you like me?" Ella asked. "As more than just a friend?"

"Ella, I can tell asking this is hard, you've been trying to convince yourself that liking me is okay, yet you can't help but view it as weird." Dawn held the princess wannabe's face in her hands. "It's okay." With that the moonchild kissed her. Moments later they drew apart Ella blushed heavily. Unbeknownst to the two of them Alejandro watched from the door. His eyes narrowed.

"Ella there's someone you shouldn't trust." Dawn told her.

"Who is it?" She asked.

"It's-" Before Dawn could say anything the loudspeaker went off.

"Attention, all remaining boot camp recruits," Chef barked. "the next evolution of your training begins tomorrow morning at 0700 hours! "Each group is shown listening to the announcement in fear. "And if I catch the sucker that took my desserts, your butt is mine!"

/

The footage skips to the next part of the challenge. The six remaining campers were hanging upside down from a tree. Duncan, Alejandro, and Geoff on the left for the Bass. Crimson, Jo, and somehow Noah on the right for the Gophers.

"What you are experiencing," Chef said as he walked in front of them. "is an ancient form of torture." The camera zoomed in on Chef as he described what the teens were going through. "By now, the blood has begun rushing to your head. " The camera focuses on Duncan who is beginning to look off. "The next stage is nausea, followed by dizziness and a flushed appearance as the blood begins to pool your eyes." Duncan begins to shake, his eyes wider than normal and crossed inwards. "You may experience fainting spells." Duncan fell out of the tree.

"Amigo, are you alright?" Alejandro called.

Kitty ran over and held him as he lay awkwardly on the ground. "He's fine!"

Everyone adjusted their position on the branches. Moments later Noah sighed. "Alright, I'm done." He said jumping down.

"Scrawny if we lose-" Jo began.

"Like I was ever gonna win this one Jo." Noah scoffed.

The four remaining teens are shown again, and Alejandro begins to look dizzy. He falls out of the tree in a heap. "Hah! I win -Al." Jo slurred as she finally let go due to blood loss.

"I expected more out of you, soldier." Chef admitted. The jockette could not answer as she was passed out.

"It's all on you Geoff! You can do it!" Kitty cheered.

"Crimson, I know you've got this." Noah told the goth.

"I've hung upside down before, to experience sleep as a bat." Crimson deadpanned.

"Rock on, sister!" Geoff cheered, making the mistake of letting go of his branch to fist pump. "I live for the head rush!" the party dude started to sway his words slurring. "It feels… so… good. " He fell to the ground harshly.
"Geoff!" Kitty cried. Alejandro did his best not to chuckle. Moments later the Gophers are shown holding up Crimson and cheering as they parade her around.

"Crimson!" Chef said, the group coming to a halt as the big man approached them. "Congratulations, soldier. I'd go to war with you anytime."

"I'll keep that in mind." the goth deadpanned.

"You do that, soldier!" Chef called as the team whisked her away to celebrate. "You do that." A single tear trailed down the cook's cheek.

/

At elimination Chef stood behind the campers, still in uniform. "I only have six marshmallows on my plate." Chris began, holding up said plate. "And these marshmallows represent the campers that will continue to be campers. Here. " Alejandro rolled his eyes at Xena.

"You've all cast your ballots in the confession can. " The host continued. "If I do not call your name, you must immediately go down to the Dock of Shame," Said dock is shown, the boat already docked. "catch the Boat of Losers, and go home. And you can't come back. Ever. Duncan."

"Yeah!" The delinquent cheered.

"Geoff, and Kitty!" The two high five and grabbed their marshmallows. "Alejandro." The Spainard smirked confidently as he grabbed the marshmallow. "Campers… this is the final marshmallow of the night." Dawn looked nervous and Xena resigned. "Xena."

"NO!" a voice screamed from offscreen. Ella rushed into the campfire pit. "After I finally know you feel the same, you're leaving!" The princess wannabe began to cry. She turned to the Bass. "I just want to know why you voted for her?" Ella asked.

The Bass looked confused, Xena included. "We didn't." Duncan said.

"Yeah dude, we figured Xena would be pretty useless with a broken ankle." Geoff said.

"Well you must've voted wrong because Dawn's the one who's leaving." Chris said.

"Okay, I need to tell Ella something first." The moonchild said. Chris snapped his fingers and Chef pushed through the Bass. He grabbed the girl's left arms and Chris grabbed the right. A flash transition shows the two dragging Dawn to the boat of losers.

"I have to warn Ella! She has to know!"

"Dawn!" The princess wannabe cried running forward.

"Ella, there's some deceiving you! Someone who has tricked everyone! It's-" Before she could say anything Chris and chef threw her onto the boat. It immediately pulled away.

"Dawn, who is it?" Ella called after her.

"It's-" the rest of her sentence was muffled., as the boat moved out of hearing range.

/

Ella stood on the end of the dock a serene tune playing as she looked out. "I've learned that life is not always like a fairy tale."

A flashback to her drinking Duncan's glass of kitchen grease is shown. "Sometimes people can't be trusted." A clip of Xena breaking her ankle is shown. "Sometimes bad things happen to people who don't deserve it." The clip of Dawn kissing Ella is shown. "And sometimes your Prince is a Princess."

Back in the present Ella the wind blows the princess wannabe's hair in an almost magical way. "Farewell my aura reading princess. Until we meet once more."

/

(Confessional)

Alejandro: Normally I would never stoop to fixing the votes. (He explains as he opens the ballet box.) But I can't have Dawn keeping Ella from my hands. She's far too useful a pawn.

Static

At the campfire Alejandro smirks. "One by one they'll all fall."

Chapter Text

The episode begins with the standard shot of Chris at the dock. "Last time on Total Drama Island" A clip of everyone standing at attention on the dock as Chef yells at them through a red megaphone is shown. This is followed by the panning shot over Chef's obstacle course. Then the clip of Crimson crawling under the swinging axes." The eleven surviving campers were put through Master Chief Hatchet's brutal boot camp. "

A clip of Noah mocking Chef is followed by a clip of Duncan talking to Chef. " Duncan and Noah were the first to be sent to the brig by Major Harshness for disorderly conduct. Shocker." The clip of Noah and Duncan smirking at each other in the boathouse, followed by clips of them sneaking up to the tent in bushes, crawling through the tent and taking food from the fridge. But what was a surprise was when Nerdy cynic Noah, and delinquent Duncan decided to work together.. The two proceeded to pull a B&E to steal some PB&J"

The clip of Dawn and Ella kissing is shown followed by the confusion at elimination and Alejandro switching the votes. "Dawn and Ella finally kissed and the Bass smelt something fishy when Dawn was suddenly voted off. Confession cams revealed that it was Alejandro who tampered with the votes out of desperation to stop Dawn from warning Ella about his deceiving nature."

The camera pans down from the Wawankwa sign to Chris in a slightly red lounge chair he opens a bag of Marshmallows and pops in his mouth. "Which I think is fair I mean, hello? He's a villain. That's what they do." He chews the marshmallow and swallows it. " Birds gotta fly, fishes gotta swim, dude." He begins to gesture with his hands as he wraps up. "Let a playa play. This week the campers are pushed to be extreme. Who will crack under the pressure? Find out right now on Total. Drama. Island!"

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode proper begins with a pan from the beach to the cabin. This is followed by a bear reaching into what seems to be the supply of elimination marshmallows. He takes out several bags, looking around nervously. We see Noah sleeping with his arms around his pillow, followed by Geoff on his back, Duncan headbanging with his eyes closed, and Jo being abruptly woken. She growls and turns over.

We cut to outside where Chris is flying a yellow plane with red stripes. The bear sees the plane coming and decides to run, dropping three bags of marshmallows in the process. A cut to Noah, Jo, and Ella looking up at the plane is shown. The first two looked irate whilst Ella merely yawned. Xena entered the scene in a wheelchair.

"Incoming!" Chris called. The campers moved out of the way quickly. Chris landed the plane. "Yes I can't wait to get my pilot's license! Woo!" He crashed into an outhouse where the bear is shown to be hiding. He's still holding his marshmallow. He shakes in fear. We follow Chris' planes as it screeches to a halt.

Chris begins to talk to the campers. "Just flexing your muscles for today's " he pulls out the now recognizable red megaphone and speaks through it. "Extreme sports challenge!" We cut to a shot of the campers shaking from the noise.

"If by that you mean extremely tired I'm way ahead of you." Noah yawned.

" This week, you'll participate in three challenges. First up," the host lifted the megaphone to his mouth. " Extreme sofa bed skydiving! Contestants will plummet, uh…" during this pause the camera panned right to show Chef in a paratrooper uniform with a parachute opening the plane door. Beneath him is a red sofa bed. "Skydive to a waiting sofa bed target below." Two springs popped out of the beaten up bed. Chef jumped onto it and it folded up on him. A quick cut shows Geoff staring in shock and Kitty wincing. Chef groans in a close up.

":Of course," Chris continued. "you'll be skydiving from five thousand feet. And using these." With that he threw out a couple of extremely worn parachutes. The remaining campers gasp as bugs fly out from the worn bags."Our lucky contestants are," Chris pulled out his notes. "Duncan and Trent." The camera cuts as zooms on the two campers in question.

Trent's shock is quickly replaced by a relaxed grin. "Sure. Why not?" he shrugged. "You know what they say on Blackcomb Mountain, bro. "Best glimpse of heaven's on the way into hell." Let's do this." He finished offering Duncan a Bro fist.

The delinquent accepted. "I'm not afraid of a little height."

"Not so fast." Chris intervened from his spot in the plane." Because the second challenge of the day is…" He spoke through the megaphone again. "Extreme rodeo moose riding! " The camera panned to show a deadpan moose in a nearby pen. Chris popped into the corner of the shot. "Contestants will rodeo ride the great Canadian bucking moose" He put a finger to his watch. "for eight seconds or " The camera panned to a pile of socks with visible smell lines. "get hooved into a giant pile of socks from the lost-and-found."

"I've smelled incense worse." Crimson deadpanned.

Chris put a hand on her shoulder. " It's your lucky day, Crimson. You're riding for Gophers. And Kitty," The camera cuts to the bluenette. "you'll ride for Bass."

."Cool!" The selfie lover cheered.

"And the final challenge… " Chris continued through the megaphone. "Extreme sea doo water skiing!

/

Chris speaks over a panning shot of a ski course, beginning from the finish flag, over a large mud pit with two ramps and flags in the two teams colors scattered about. "Contestants will waterski a race course, grabbing as many flags as they can before crossing the finish line. While a member from the opposing team tries to deceive you."

/

We see the remaining campers standing in a group before Chris. Noah approached. "And how exactly do we water ski without water?" He deadpanned.

"It's really hard." The host tells him in a close up. " Check it out." He gestured right. A quick cut shows Chef on an orange sea doo. He rode it off a cliff where he crashed into the ground, taking several tumbles. Chris chuckled as the camera refocused on him. "Awesome! Geoff, you'll ski for Killer Bass."

"Yeah." Geoff called.

"And Amber for the Screaming Gophers." Chris continued in a shot showing most of the group.

"What?! Oh no, no. Water Skiing should only be done on water by someone who knows what they're doing!" Amber said, holding her head as though she was going to pull hair out.

"Now for the cool swag! " the host said in a close up. We moved back to a group shot. "Whoever scores the most challenges gets bragging rights for the night, saves their butts from elimination and wins a tricked out Multi Massage Mobile Shower."

The camera panned to show said shower which appears to be on a truck bed. Chef sat in front playing the harp. We then see the interior which is a sparkly clean new shower. We cut to a close up of Noah. "It can't be."

"Oh it be." Chris replied with a smirk.

"Ugh a shower? How about a good prize?" Jo scoffed.

Noah confronted her. "Some of us care about hygiene. Do you have any idea how bad public showers are? You can't even step in one barefoot without the possibility of foot fungus." He pointed a finger at her. "Which isn't helped by people like you!"

"Geez scrawny it's just a shower." The jockette retorted.

/
The propeller of the plane is shown as it prepares for take off. A quick cut shows the campers bracing themselves against the winds, their hair being blown back in the process. "Okay, gang. Chow for breaky," The camera switched to a close up of Chris. "then report back in twenty minutes for… " He lifts the megaphone once more. "The extreme sports challenge!"

With that the plane flew off creating a huge dust cloud. We hear coughing and the cloud clears to reveal it is Noah and Duncan.

/

A shot of the mess hall is shown with Noah and Crimson walking away from it. Amber follows out the door. We cut inside to see chef grumbling as his carries a stack of plates still full of gray slush. A slip of papers falls out between the plates. Kitty and Geoff are sitting at the table the former of which quickly grabbed the paper and read it aloud.

"My heart beats like a symphony, a poisonous cacophony."

"Wow." Geoff said. "That is some rad poetry. Who wrote it?"

"I don't know, that's the problem." She admitted examining the note as though it would provide answers. "I'm sure these poems are meant for someone, but I can't figure it out."

"All I know is whoever wrote it is mad into someone." The party dude remarked.

"You wanna help me find out?" Kitty smirked.

"Yeah!"

"I would like to help as well." The two jumped as they heard Ella's soft voice. They hadn't noticed her.

"Alright you talk to the Gophers, and we'll talk to the Bass. " Kitty said. She looked between the other two. "Any questions?"

"Yeah, what a cacophony?" Geoff asked pronouncing it phonetically. Kitty rolled her eyes and chuckled.

/

The footage cut to Chris in the plane, two sofa beds just outside it. Duncan lounged on one whilst the rest stood around the plane, Trent was wearing a red hat in preparation for the fall. Both he and Duncan were wearing the parachutes from earlier. "Now, remember! Ground teams can wheelie the sofa beds wherever they want in order to help their comrade with the landing."

Jo gripped Trent by the shoulders. "You'd better win this one lover boy."

Noah handed him a paper and pen. "What's this for?" Trenta asked.

"Your final will and testament." Noah deadpanned.

"I'm sure it won't be that bad." Ella reassured.

"It's only a drop from 5000 feet with an unsafe parachute onto a sofa bed likely to collapse from the impact." Crimson droned as she spoke the background music swelled ominously. Then it dropped. "So no worries."

/

A shot of several small land masses in a sweeping ocean is shown. The plane flies on screen. We move to a side shot as the door slides opening. Revealing Duncan and Trent now wearing helmets. They both looked like they're trying to hide their nervousness.

Chris popped his body around the front of the plane, holding several forms. "If you could just fill these out…!" He trailed.

"Dude we already signed insurance forms at the beginning of this stupid show." Duncan replied.

"Yeah! But these are for organ donation!" Chris said, pointing at the documents. " I have this cool cannibal challenge I wanna pitch to the producers, and this'll go a long way toward budgeting free props! Here comes the drop, boys!" With that Chris moved offscreen.

The camera focused on the two campers as they looked over the edge. "I don't see the drop zone! Trent yelled, a shot of the full island is shown.

The camera panned down from the treetops to the Gopher's attempting to push their sofa bed. "Push you weaklings!" Jo ordered.

"I have arms the size of twigs. What's your excuse?" Noah retorted.

"Noah." Ella squeaked. "Do you write poetry?"

"That's a weird question." Noah replied, raising a brow. "But to answer it. Yes, I do. To answer your most likely follow up question, not lately."

"Hey if you ever want an editor I'm open." Amber told him.

"You write poetry Amber?" Ella asked excitedly.

"Write? No, I've never been confident enough."

"I see…" the princess wannabe trailed sadly.

/

Meanwhile the boys are preparing to jump."Uh, I don't think I can do this, man!" Trent told Duncan as we see an overview of the landscape.

Duncan rolled his eyes. "Fine I guess you need a little push." At the word push Duncan pushed the guitarist out the door. The camera followed his descent from below as he screamed. Eventually he fell into the bed but bounced up and hit the ground. Luckily the shorter fall meant he wasn't as injured as he could be.

"Sorry dude, we tried." Noah said nonchalantly.

/
Back in the airplane Duncan jumped out. The camera followed his descent as he pulled the red wire which snapped off. Then he pulled the blue wire which also snapped off. Realizing his parachute had yet to deploy, a worried look came to his eyes.

On the ground we see three of the remaining Bass carrying the couch into position. Xena was rolling her wheelchair though she did chip in by instructing the group. "Remember to lift with your legs. Alejandro stay centralized. Kitty and Geoff should the other give out you'll need to brace so as to make up for the lost balance."

"Hey Geoff you know what's romantic?" Kitty asked him.

"Uh, writing someone's name in the snow with your pee?" Geoff replied. Kitty facepalmed and nudged him. "Oh! Poetry?"

"Yeah," The selfie lover turned her head to look across at Alejandro. "What do you think Alejandro? Is poetry a good way to get someone to like you?"

Alejandro smirked. "Perhaps for some, but I prefer a more direct approach. Why write down what you can say in person?"

Kitty nodded. "I see your point."

"Will you guys stop jabbering and catch me?!" They heard Duncan call from above. They glanced up. We return to a shot of Duncan falling. His parachute has now deployed so he's back to looking bored. The parachute moved left, and the ground team followed, then it moved right and they followed suit. Eventually Duncan landed on the sofa bed. He smirked, but was swiftly folded into the sofa. Everyone winced.

/

Chris flies his plane over the treetops, then circles past the campers. "Gophers lose, Bass wins! One-zero!" He announced through the megaphone.

Chef walked past the Gophers in his Nurse outfit once more. Trent followed his arm now wrapped like a mummy. "Nice going lover boy." Jo scoffed.

"Trent are you okay?" Ella asked.

"Chef thinks I fractured a bone but otherwise yeah." He turned to Noah. "Hey man is my hair messed up?"

"You still look like a fifties heartthrob don't worry." Noah snarked.

"Thanks I- wait? Fifties?" Trent blinked.

/

"Okay, cowpokes!" Chris began in a close up, the megaphone to his mouth. "Let's start… the rodeo moose challenge!"

"It's cool Kitty." Geoff said over a shot of the penned in moose. "Rodeo ridin's kinda like surfin'. Once you catch the lip, you just flow with the mojo. "

Kitty came on screen with Geoff and Duncan following. "Hey Duncan you crushin' on anyone?"

The delinquent scoffed. "If I was it'd probably be you Kit Kat."

"I see," Kitty said as she walked up the ladder leading into the pen. "So you wouldn't have written anyone a poem."

"Kit Kat even if I was crushin' on someone I wouldn't write a poem." The delinquent told her.

"Just had to check." The selfie lover replied as she lowered herself onto the moose. The camera zoomed in on the animal's eyes as it narrowed them in anger. A shaking Chef opened the pen.

The moose instantly charged forward and began to buck. Kitty cried out in shock. It flung her from it's back, causing her short skirt to fly upwards revealing her underwear.

Chris is shown looking at a stopwatch. "And Kitty's" The selfie lover flew past him. " Out?" We see Kitty in the pile of dirty socks. One is in her mouth and she spits it out immediately. Chris entered the show with a clothespin on his nose. " Ooh, that stinks big time for Bass!"

The footage paused. "Wait a minute. Pause that! Let's just rewind that shot and run it in super slow-mo." The footage rewound back to before Kitty flew past the screen. "I'm embarrassed. This is so degrading," He said as Kitty flew past with her underwear showing. He takes a pink marker and scribbles out his body before circling his head. "I mean just look at me. Can we just please get a decent budget together for hair and makeup? I look like I just fell out of bed! Geesh!"

The footage continued from where it left off."No, seriously? That is some rank stuff. Crimson, let's get!"

/

A deadpan squirrel and a pink bird sat on a branch as a light tune played. The pink bird chirped until the squirrel slapped it off the branch. The camera panned down to show Crimson sitting on the moose sidesaddle. "Okay you can start now." The moose took the opportunity crashing through the gate and running off Chef in the process.

A shot showed Geoff and Kitty talking to Ella as the moose ran by in the background. It's rider as apathetic as usual. "So it isn't Noah or Amber." The princess wannabe told them.

"It wasn't Al or Duncan either." Geoff added, the moose passed by again it's rider unmoved.

"We know it wasn't us." Kitty said.

"So that leaves Trent, Jo, Crimson and Xena " Ella said as the moose passed once more. Crimson still deadpan.

"Actually I already asked Xena, wasn't her." Kitty shrugged.

"So what now?"Geoff asked.

"Ella ask Trent, he seems most likely." Kitty told her. The princess wannabe nodded as the moose passed one final time. The camera followed it as it crashed through the nearby bushes, it's rider inpassive.

The music is momentarially replaced by a classical ditty as we are shown a shot of the bear from earlier, a red gingham napkin tied around its neck as it prepared to eat the bags of marshmallows around it. The tranquility of the scene is broken as Crimson rides by on the moose, marshmallow crushed under its hooves. The bear blinked several times before raising a crushed piece up. It looked at the camera in sadness and sighed in defeat, throwing the marshmallow away,

/

The footage skipped ahead to a ground shot as Chris' red ATV. The shot zoomed out to show Chris on it. ""So, we have a tie!" He announced through the megaphone. "Whoever wins the extreme sea doo water ski challenge…" The shot zoomed out further still. " wins invincibility!"

"Yeah dude!" Geoff called from off screen. The camera panned to show Geoff in his swim trunks. He walked to Kitty. "This is for you babe!" Kitty giggled.

"I would like to drive the wave jumper. Any objections?" Alejandro asked. No one raised any. "Very well then."

/

(Confessional)

Amber: Oh my gosh! Not only do I have to participate in a sport I have no training in, my biggest weakness is driving the sea doo! (She sighed and puts her head into her hands.) I'm doomed.

Static

"So..." Ella trailed. "Written any poems for Sammy lately?"

"No?" Trent replied. "Why-"

"Listen Princess!" Jo interruppted. "I don't know what your fixation on poetry is about, but keep your game face on!"

Ella sighed. "Yes Jo."

/

The next scene showed Geoff on skis holding the tow rope the camera panned over to Jo on well worn sea doo. "Better hold on tight fishy, cause I'm gonna give you the ride of your life!" the jockette taunted.

Chris drove by on his ATV. " Here's the road rules. Oh wait, there are no rules! Which means this is gonna be awesome!"

/

Kitty noticed Xena lost in thought. "You okay? You've been quiet this challenge."

"Well. It is not a big deal. However I could use another opinion on the matter." Xena admitted.

"Sure, lay it on me!"

"Do you recall our conversation in the medical tent?" Kitty nodded. "You wondered if I was attracted to Alejandro, and it caused a realization that I am confused about. You see as a female one of my instinctual urges should be to create offspring. Yet the very idea of coitus is off putting. It doesn't make sense."

The bluenette smiled. "Is that all? Xena you're just asexual."

The blonde looked confused. "I cannot possible be asexual. I am not capable of producing offspring on my own."

Kitty chuckled. "No it means you're not interested in physical relations."

"So I am defective?" Xena frowned.

"No! it's okay." The blonde seemed unsure. "Look Xena the human population is out of control right?"

"Indeed, should we continue on our current path we will run out of resources."

"Then isn't it logical that some humans wouldn't want to have kids?" Kitty prompted.

At once Xena's worry faded. "I believe it is. Thank you Kitty this has been most illuminating. If there is anything I can assist you with let me know."

The bluenette smiled. "Well there is one thing..."

/

The footage flashe ahead to the challenge. "And go!" Chris cried waving a starting flag. Jo smirked and revved the ski doo, taking off as quickly as possible. Geoff stumped but managed to keep his balance, just barely. Jo glanced back as she approached the first ramp. She went up at an angle in an attempt to shake him off but the party dude managed to grab the flag anyway.

"Flag one for Bass!" Chris announced over a set of loudspeakers attached to a totem pole. Beneath them Kitty and Duncan fist bumped.

Jo growled and began driving crazier. Geoff got knocked off his skis and dragged through the mud but he still managed to get all the flags. "Five flags and headed home!" Chris said over the loudspeakers once more. The scene transitioned from the noncompetiers to the host riding his ATV alongside the two. "Jo has to cross the finish line or be disqualified! but when she does, Geoff will take five flags to victory for the Killer Bass!\

(confessional)

Jo: I wasn't about to be blamed for our loss. So I did the first thing I could think of.

Static

"Shows what you know Mclame!" Jo shouted, letting go of the sea doo and crashing it into a rock. Geoff was dislodged and flew through the air, dropping all his flags as he did. He crashed into the shore, Meanwhile Jo crashed onto the marshmallow bear, who growled at her.

Chris rode his ATV past the now crashed sea doo. "Well I'd say that was a crashing success for the Gophers and a total wipeout for the Bass team!"

/

Later Alejandro and Amber are in positions for the challenge. The bookworm looks incredibly anxious, her knees are shaking. Alejandro gives her a charming smirk. "Have I told you how much I love that swimsuit on you?"

The brunette blushed as red as her one piece suit. "N-no-" She slapped herself. "I know what you're trying to do and while it's a great strategy it won't work!"

A playful gleam lit the Spainard's eyes "We shall see."

Chris began the race."Ready, set, ride it like it's sweeps week! Go!" With that the engine revved and Alejandro began driving at full speed. Amber screamed and fell straight forward into the mud. As they went over the first ramp Amber did manage to snag the Flag.

Alejandro frowned but this was swiftly replaced by a devilish smirk. "It seems I am winning no?"

Amber groaned. "I do have one flag Alejandro!" She managed to retort.

"Flag one!" Chris announced. Amber continued to be dragged through the mud. She missed a flag. "Flag two!" Chris continued as she managed to grab a second one. She missed the next two. "Amber has snagged two flags and is racing home for the win! Alejandro is eukered! He has to cross!"

Alejandro turned back and smirked. "You are a very determined woman chica." He purred.

Amber blushed her though it was hard to see with her face and hair covered in mud. "Have to concentrate, have to concentrate, have to concentrate." She muttered. Unbeknownst to her Alejandro had noticed a branch up the track. He was covering his true plane behind flirting. Just as he had planned the branch tore off his shirt, revealing his perfect tanned abs. Amber was startled, but she didn't let go of the rope. What she did let go of was the flags.

They crossed the finish line to the non competitors and Chris frowned as he approached on his ATV. "So it's a tie? Seriously none of you could grab a flag?"

Jo glared at Amber. "Braids I swear if we lose the new tiebreaker, I'll make sure you get voted out!"

Amber nodded. "That's fair I'm sorry I-I"

"Wait," Chris paused. What's that in your hair?"

"In my, what?"The bookworm asked. Chris plucked out the object. While the braids had been dragged through the mud one of the flags had caught in them.

"She won?" Chris wondered. He smiled. "Gophers win!" The team cheered, sans Crimson.

"So I'm not going home?" Amber smiled.

"We can shower with warm water!" Trent cheered as the prize was shown.

"I don't need to worry about the contamination on the floor." Noah grinned.

The camera cut over to the Bass. Alejandro sighed." I would have liked that shower,"

"I really needed that shower." Kitty groaned, still reeking.

(Confessional)

Kitty:Good news! Xena helped my figure out who wrote the poems! I just have to wait until the challenge finishes.

Static

/

The confessional cut to the communal bathrooms. Chris walked in from screen right. "The Bass team went belly-up and will now decide which fishy to flush, while the Gophers totally scored some much-needed showers." The camera panned left to show Amber and Noah walking from the showers in towels.

"Seriously though? Why showers?" Jo griped.

/

We cut to Kitty running through the camp, dragging Geoff behind her. "So what's this about?"The party dude asked.

"Xena pointed out to me that all three poems mentioned death! The first has drowning, the second suffocation, and the third poisonous." Kitty exclaimed.

"So?"

"They're using death to express their emotions. There's only one person left who would do that!" She explained .The two stopped in front of the Gopher cabin. They walked up the steps and knocked on the door.

Ella answered. "Oh hello you two. Did you find out who wrote the poems?"

Kitty nodded. "Can we come in?"

"Of course." the princess wannabe said. She moved out of the way. There was only one other girl inside. Crimson sat on her bunk.

"Hey Crimson did you write these?" Kitty asked.

Crimson looked at the slips of paper. "Yes." She droned.

"Really but why?' Ella asked,

"I'm not one for open displays of affection. So I thought if I sent poems I could get an answer without a huge scene." The goth looked down. "He hasn't answered yet."

. "If they're for who I think they are, he's probably just been trying to figure out his response." Kitty smiled.

"Who are they for?" Geoff asked.

"Not important. They'll tell us when they're ready." Ella told him.

/

The elimination began as it usually did. The losing team sat on their stumps in front of the host, who held a plate of marshmallows."As you know, " Chris began. "if you do not receive a marshmallow, you will be forced to walk the Dock of Shame, and you will never ever return to camp." The camera panned over the Bass. Then it cut back to a close up of Chris.

He picked up two pieces of immunity from the plate. " Geoff and Duncan, you are safe." The two friends smiled at each other and grabbed their sweets."Alejandro, you're safe too." The Spaniard smirked and grabbed his as well.

"Okay, that leaves Kitty, who bailed big. Thanks to that moose." Kitty nodded. "And Xena who's injured. Not too surprisingly Xena is toast."

"Of course. It is only the logical choice." the blonde said.

"Allow me to push you down the dock of shame." Alejandro told her. He pushed her by the other three Bass. Xena accepted their high fives. The focus is on the two of them as Alejandro pushed her down the dock.

"Alejandro I just want you to know that I appreciate your strategy and I hope you win." Xena told him.

"I will do my best." The Spaniard promised. With that the boat took off.

(Confessional)

Amber: If there's one thing my near loss today taught me, it's that Alejandro likes messing with me. I don't mind Alejandro's tactics but turnabout's fair play. Watch out you shameless flirt, because I'm gonna start messing with you."

Static

/

The camera panned down towards the Gopher cabin. We hear a knock but the source was gone by the time the camera reached the cabin. The camera zoomed in as Crimson opened the door. She knelt to the ground and picked up a slip of paper. The camera switched to a shot over Crimson's shoulder. The note reads.

I don't care about your ivory mask, be true to you, that's all I ask.

There is a shot of the goth from the front as she smiles.

Chapter Text

As usual the episode starts with the standard shot of Chris on the dock." Last time on Total Drama Island." A clip of Kitty and Geoff reading the newest poem is followed by a clip of Duncan pushing Trent out of the plane and him crashing. This is followed by a clip of Crimson riding the moose sidesaddle. "Kitty got Geoff to help her find the mystery poem writer. Duncan gave a nervous Trent the push he needed sending him deep into the Earth's crust. Crimson rode a moose without any reaction! I mean seriously getting a reaction from her is impossible."

The clip of Amber being dragged through the mud is followed by the clip of the branch ripping Alejandro's shirt off. "Amber was determined not to let Alejandro get to her but that's hard to do when he's got those perfect abs in your face." the clip of a flag being removed from Amber's braid is shown. "Luckily she managed to beat him by a hair." A clip of Xena high fiving her team is shown. "Unfortunately for Xena no one wants an injured teammate.

We return to Chris at the dock as he closes out the recap. "And now, let's see what's in store for our campers on this week's episode of Total. Drama. Island!

` (intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode opened on a shot of the treetops as a gaggle of geese flew by. There is a flash transition to the mess hall. Chris and Chef at leaning against the door and wall respectively. A tired Noah walked in the door, followed by a tired Amber and Trent. The guitarist paused next to the two adults. "What? No breakfast?" He asked exasperatedly.

"Oh, don't worry bro. " Chris said. "There will be plenty of food later on." Chef sniggered and Chris joined him as the rest of the Gophers passed through the door.

"Might I ask what is so funny?" Alejandro said, the first Bass to walk through the door. Rather than answer him the two continued to chuckle to themselves. The Spainard rolled his eyes and continued as the rest of the Bass entered the room.

"Congratulations to the remaining ten campers for reaching the halfway mark in the competition!" Chris announced. "You'll all be on the jury for the final episode."

"We got the power! Yeah!" Geoff said with a fist pump.

" The two teams will become one next week." The host continued. "But first, all the girls will be moved to the Gopher cabin." The view shifted to the campers. Kitty looked at the other girls, a nervous glance at Jo included. "and all the guys will stay in the Bass cabin. " The camera panned to the end of the tables, where we see Trent look at Alejandro, Duncan, and Geoff with surprise. Noah remained unmoved. The three former Bass looked uncertain.

"This week's challenge is as old as history itself. " Chris explained with narrowed eyes. "A battle of the sexes." Alejandro sent Amber a wink. The bookworm looked at him coolly. "After everyone is settled in, I'll announce the challenge." Chris smiled. "And then, you'll have an uh… bite to eat." The hosts began to snicker again drawing suspicious looks from the campers.

" Ready for a little good news? This week, no one will be kicked off." He continued to the cheers of all by Crimson. "It's all for reward and it's a good one." Geoff and Kitty high fived. "Okay, time to relocate. Let's move!" As the campers began to leave the mess hall Chris and Chef began to chuckle.

/

The camera focused on Kitty as she left the mess hall. She shared a smile with Geoff as he and Duncan passed. She paused when he heard a voice call out her name. Ella ran to her and the two began to walk again, with the princess wannabe keeping pace with the bluenette.

"I'm so excited for you to join us Kitty! I had a lot of fun finding the poet with you!" Ella told the selfie lover.

"I'm excited too. So what are the other girls like?" Kitty asked.

"Oh you'll like them! Crimson's a little quiet but that shouldn't be a problem right?" She asked.

"No way, if a teammate being quiet is the worst you've dealt with then this'll be great!" the bluenette cheered.

From somewhere off screen Jo called. "Hey princess, we need to talk strategy!"

"Coming! I'll see you soon okay?" Ella told the other girl.

/

The footage skipped ahead to where Kitty is about to leave. She picked up her bag and headed for the door only for Geoff to enter the room. "It was like, real cool working with you," The party dude said, rubbing the back of his neck. "You know, together as a team."

"Yeah, it's been great working with you too!" The selfie lover told him. She gave him a pat on the back and smiled at him. "You know it's not the end of the world. We can still hang out together, even if we are on different teams."

"Yeah. You're right." Geoff agreed, smiling.

"But don't think I'll go easy on you just because I like you." Kitty smirked. Geoff began to stammer and Kitty leaned in. Geoff followed suit as sweet background music played. Then Chris came up behind Kitty and took her away by the arm, "Big day ahead of us."

Duncan came up from behind the party dude and patted him on the back. "I know you're bummed out by Kit Kat leaving, but new people will be showing up soon."

"Yeah. I guess I wanna make a good impression." He decided.

"Cool. Listen Noah, the thin nerdy one, is kinda awkward and would probably like a warm welcome." Duncan said.

"Okay." Geoff smiled. Just then the door opened and in walked Noah. Immediately Geoff ran over and gave him a hug. "It's nice to meet you little dude! You're gonna have a great time."

The party dude didn't notice the cynic struggling to get out of his grip. "Get your hands off my person!" He yelled. From the doorway Trent looked on with a bemused expression.

/

We see Kitty walking from the Bass cabin to the Gophers. She paused on the steps to her new cabin. A thoughtful look on her face.

(Confessional)

Kitty: So the way I figure it there's no I in team. I'll do my best! You think the other girls will take a selfie with me?

Static

Kitty enters the cabin. Ella beams and runs over immediately. "Kitty I'm so happy you're here!"

"I'm happy to be here." The selfie lover replied.

"Okay, so you can't share a bunk with me because I'm bunking with Jo. That leaves Crimson and Amber to bunk with." Ella told her.

Kitty examined the two girls. Crimson was staring at her blankly, while Amber was reading. She tapped the bookworm on the shoulder. "Hey can I bunk here? You seem like you could use a friend."

Amber smiled nervously. "Sure I guess."

Jo gave Kitty a short glare. "Just don't let the boys distract you, ribbons. We got enough dead weight on the team." She said giving Amber a pointed look. The bookworm merely turned the page. "What not denying it?" No response. "So you finally admit that you're nothing but a traitor with a weakness for boys?" Amber started to shake. "Glad you finally realize your so path-"

"Shut the F*** up Jo." Amber muttered.

"What did you just say to me?" Jo growled.

Amber slammed her book shut. "I said shut the f*** up."

Kitty frowned and turned towards Crimson. "Are they always like this?" The shot zoomed out to show the goth was gone. "Well hopefully the boys are doing better."

/

We cut to the Bass cabin where the sounds of laughter and music can be heard. Inside we see the boys are drinking soda while Duncan plays music. Two glasses clink together and the camera pulls out to show Geoff and Alejandro holding them. "While not my usual preference in drinks I must say-"

The Spaniard is cut off by Geoff unleashing a belch so loud it shook the cabin, knocked down a few trees and caused the fur on a couple squirrels to pop off. Geoff cleared his throat giving the others a cocky look.

"Nice one man!" Trent told him.

"I suppose? However I'd prefer if he kept it to a minimum." Alejandro said.

"Which is the polite way of saying I find your habits disgusting." Noah drolly remarked. The camera zoomed out to show him sitting on a top bunk reading.

"Dude are you ever gonna join us?" Geoff asked.

"That depends, are you going to physically assault me?" The cynic asked.

"It was a hug man!" The party dude explained.

"It was still unwanted physical contact. Although I supposed I shouldn't blame you." He admitted getting off the bed and heading for the door. "I know Duncan put you up to it." He opened the door. "Just so you know I fully intend to return the favor."

"I look forward to it." The delinquent smirked. Noah left the room. He turned to Geoff "So dude how'd you learn to do that?"

The camera followed Noah as he left. Crimson can be seen walking to the Bass cabin. "How are things in the other cabin?" He asked.

"Loud." Crimson replied. "You?"

"The same." He smirked. "You wanna ditch everyone and hang out in the mess hall until the challenge starts?"

"I was hoping you'd ask,"

/

Amber and Jo are facing off. "I'm sick of being treated as weak because I have feelings for a guy!" The bookworm exclaimed.

"That does make you weak." Jo scoffed.

"Oh really?" Amber said drawing closer to the jockette. "Tell me who hinders the team more Jo? The bookworm with a crush or the self centered egomaniac with zero social skills!"

Ella moved in between them. "Guys we're all friends here. There's no need to fight."

"Ella I have news for you. Jo isn't my friend! In fact she's not even your friend! You're just too naïve to see what's right in front of you!" She sighed. " Sorry Ella you don't deserve to be yelled at."

"Well if you have such a problem with me, why don't you-" Jo started.

"Leave? Way ahead of you!" The bookworm snapped. She walked over to her bed and began to put her things into her bag. "I'm moving to the other side of the cabin."

"Good no one will miss you!" Jo yelled.

"Well I certainly won't miss your messy living habits! Or your body odor!" Amber retorted.

"I won't miss your late night reading sessions! Seriously do you have to have a light on?" The jockette asked.

"It's a reading lamp! It makes less light than the moon does! Besides it can't be worse than your snoring!" The Brunette finished her packing and zipped her bag shut. She turned to Kitty. "Sorry Kitty, as much as I'd like to bunk with you I can't stand to be around Jo any longer!" With that she left, slamming the door on her way out.

/

There is a flash transition followed by a brief shot of the mess hall's exterior. The shot moves inside and we see the remaining campers standing before Chris, who is holding a clipboard. " It's time for today's challenge!"

;"Where's breakfast?" Trent asked. The two men chuckled to each other again.

"Okay, what maniacal plan do you have for us? You've been doing that all morning." Noah asked, his arms folded.

"Let's just tell them…" Chris told Chef. "Today's challenge is… The Brunch of Disgustingness! " The camera zoomed in on the host as a dramatic sting played.

"You'll be getting a nine-course meal." The host explained as the camera panned over the two tables each bearing five covered dishes. "Each member of each team must finish each dish." The campers give each other nervous looks. "You will not know if the next dish is grosser than the last, not as gross, or just as gross. Just that it'll likely be… gross." He finished relishing in every word as Chef clasped his hand villainously.

"Tell them what they'll get if they win, Chris!" Chef exclaimed, a game show esque tune in the background.

"The winning team spends two days at a local five-star resort where" An image of a black woman lying face down as she gets a back massage appears in the lower right corner. "they'll be pampered," An image of a white woman dangling a shrimp over her mouth appears in the top left corner. "eat gourmet nosh, " An image of a man in a hospital gown getting a vaccine appears in the upper right corner, with an image of a picturesque beach at sunset appearing in the lower left shortly afterwards. "and be given antibiotics against anything they may have caught while participating in this challenge!"

The images fade and Chris begins to feign sadness. "The losing team will go hungry tonight and spend the next two days here. On Total Drama Island. With Chef." He points to the large man beside him. Chef gives them a large wide eyed sadistic grin. The campers were terrified.

"Hah an eating contest? We've got this!" Jo smirked. She glanced at Amber. "Provided we all stay focused."

(confessional)

Alejandro: I have been dreading an eating challenge. My body is my temple and what temple keeper would want to contaminate this? (He removes his shirt and flexes his pecs.)

Static

The confessional cuts to the two groups of campers sat in front of the covered dishes. The girls are at the former Gopher table, while the boys are at the former Bass's. "Hey boys." Jo called causing the boys to look at her from their table. "Get ready to taste defeat!"

"The thing you girls will be tasting is our dust!" Geoff responded.

"Let's begin the challenge! " Chris said excitedly. "First… Some Hors D'oeuvres." He gestured towards the table and chef removed the covers on the food in front of Duncan and Trent. Each plate held a pile of gray brown lumps that looked like large beans.

"Meatballs? You call this a challenge." Duncan scoffed picking up one the balls.

"Well technically you're right, but these are kinda special." Chris chuckled.

The camera quick panned to chef who was holding a ball. "It's beef testicle bourguignon."

A shot of a bull lying on the ground and crossing its legs whilst crying is briefly shown before cutting back to Duncan, who dropped his ball with a horrified look.

"Testicles?" Alejandro gagged,

Kitty, Amber, and Ella also looked disgusted, The camera zoomed out to show Duncan and Geoff staring at their plates in horror. "Oh, I don't know if I can do this to my bovine brother." Geoff gasped holding one of the balls.

Trent tossed one in his mouth and bit down lightly on the edge. Alejandro looked disgusted as he lifted his ball to his face, and Noah began to tentatively nibble upon his. "It's the hardest thing a man can do." Chris said sadly.

(confessional)

Jo: Hah do you see the looks on their faces?! This is great!"

Static

The footage cut to Jo popping the meatballs into her mouth like they were candy. She smirked at the boys. "These are delicious."

Crimson was having no trouble eating hers either. Amber looked nervous. She glanced at the boys and gained a determined look. She picked up a meatball and looked Alejandro straight in the eye. The camera focused on his disgusted look. Then it quickly cut to Amber biting the ball in half and chewing deliberately. Alejandro looked horrified. The moment finished with Amber smirking and going in for more, her eyes never leaving the Spainard's.

Kitty is shown eating hers slowly.

Back at the boys table Duncan looked at Noah with respect. "You're actually eating that? Without complaining?"

"It's meat, granted it's meat we all have an attachment to, but it's something I know is okay to eat so…" He trailed. He was only about a fourth of the way into his ball.

"Well if you can eat it, so can I!" With that Duncan shoved his meatball into his mouth.

"Hey princess! Why haven't you eaten yet?" Jo growled at Ella.

"It's an animal! I can't eat it!" Ella whimpered.

"Well you're going to!" Jo ordered trying to force feed the girl.

"I can't eat my friends!" Ella screamed.

"I only accept the best on my team. You wanna be like Braids?" Jo threatened.

"N-no." Ella picked up the meatball crying. "I'm sorry." She managed to eat one. Then clutched her stomach. "I think the bull wants back out." She groaned.

Back with the boys Trent spat his out, and Alejandro hadn't eaten any. "I can't do it." The guitarist groaned.

"Nor can I." The Spainard agreed.

"Well, looks like the guys lost this round. The first challenge goes to be female campers." Chris announced. A scoreboard appeared with the icon typical of male and female restrooms on it. The girls side dings up to one.

Noah gave Trent a glare. "Well thanks to you and Al I ate bull testicles for no reason!"

"Hey, at least I tried! Alejandro didn't even touch his." The guitarist defended.

"Amigo, I am taken aback by your finger pointing." Alejandro said sadly.

"Well both of you dorks are gonna need to step up because you just cost us the round!" Duncan glared.

"Dudes it's not like we were gonna win. Let's just chill man." Geoff tried to mediate.

"Stop incessantly using the word man. " Noah remarked.

Chris whistled at the group. "Are we here to argue, or are we here to eat a series of revolting meals?!"

Alejandro looked down, Duncan crossed his arms and Noah regain his usual deadpan expression. "Fine." The delinquent conceded.

"Whatever." Noah rolled his eyes.

"The score now stands at one for the girls and zero for the guys! And now, the next course in… The Brunch of Disgustingness! " The host finished with a flourish. He motioned right and Chef wheeled in another cart with a covered dish on it. "You guys like pizza?" He asked, clasping his hand together in clear anticipation.

"Who doesn't like pizza?" Geoff answered, beside him Trent's eyes lit up and he nodded.

"People who are allergic. Also a lot of people are very particular about their pizza toppings." Noah noted.

"Dude it's pizza I don't care what's on it!" Geoff told him.

"Oh really?" Chris challenged, rubbing his hands. The view shifts to show Chef removing the cover. "How about live grasshopper pizza with tangy jellyfish sauce and live anchovies?" The camera focused on the dish. It was an ordinary pizza except for the toppings, jellyfish, grasshoppers, and anchovies. The latter two were still moving around.

"Live animals?!" Ella shrieked.

At the guys table Geoff shrugged as Chef placed his slice in front of him. Trent looked incredibly nervous from his spot next to him. Alejandro didn't look much better.

At the girls table Jo was already digging into her slice. "Alright girls let's show these boys how it's done! Unless I have to make you?"

Crimson took a bite of her slice easily. She bit a grasshopper in the first bite, causing Ella to whimper from beside her. Despite this her face remained deadpan.

"Alright you're next." Jo challenged Kitty.

(Confessional)

Kitty: Honestly I've never had too much trouble eating weird things. I had so many boys try to gross me out during truth or dare. You should've seen the disappointed looks on their faces when I had no trouble eating bugs from the backyard.

Static.

Kitty was eating her slice with relative ease. It was slow going but she was eating it like normal food.

There is a flash cut to the guy's table. Geoff was finishing his slice off. "You know, I've had worse pizza."

"I'm going to pretend I didn't hear that." Noah deadpanned.

Back at the girls table Amber gave her pizza a nervous look. She glanced at the boys table and took note of the disgusted look on Alejandro's face. She took a deep breath and lifted her pizza slice. "Hey Alejandro! What's the matter, can't eat a little pizza?" She taunted, taking a bite of her slice.

Alejandro's disgusted look was swiftly replaced by smirk. "On the contrary I simply enjoy watching you eat. You're very talented with your mouth chica."

Amber gave a shocked gasp and began to choke. Kitty hit her back and she coughed up her bite. The Spainard gave her a wink and she glared her face still red.

(Confessional)

Amber: I wanted to kiss that smug smirk off his face! (Her face becomes shocked with realization.) "Slap! I meant slap! Ugh.

Static

Back at the boy's table Trent tapped his slice with a finger and groaned. " I've got a weak stomach. Uh, be right back." The camera followed him as he ran outside. He ran off screen and we can hear vomiting noises.

(Confessional)

Trent: Trent: [gags] I've got a weak stomach. Uh, be right back. [vomits loudly] [confessional] When I was a kid, my parents used to hold me down and force feed me broccoli. They only did it because broccoli's… (he shudders) Good for ya.

Static

Back in the mess hall Trent leans his hands against the table. "I can do this. Duncan, I need you to hold me down, while Geoff, " he pointed to his mouth. "you stuff the slice in my mouth. And no matter how much I scream or beg, you have got to feed me that slice."

Geoff shrugged. " Huh, sure. I'm in."

There is a flash transition to Duncan as he holds Trent back while Geoff holds the pizza slice in front of him. The guitarist struggled. "No, stop! Wait, it was a joke! I was kidding! Ha ha!" He laughed nervously. "I'm warning you, my dad's a lawyer!" Geoff stuffed the slice into his mouth and the guitarist went into shock.

Duncan sat him down and turned to Alejandro. "So you gonna eat that or do we have to make you?"

The Spainard gulped and lifted the slice towards his mouth, but he quickly sat it back down. "I simply cannot do it."

"Wrong answer." He said. " Geoff grab his hands." The delinquent ordered. The party dude shrugged and between the two Alejandro was pushed down on the table. "Noah shove the slice in his mouth. "

"With pleasure." The cynic smirked as he was asked.

(Confessional)

Alejandro: They will pay for this. I swear it on my family name! They will pay!"

Static

Trent: It wasn't that bad. I was playing it up for the cameras. You know, to boost ratings. I don't really mind beef testicles or live grasshopper pizza with jellyf– (He groans and we transition outside the confessional as the sounds of retching scare away several animals.)

Static

Noah and Duncan plugged their noses and forced the pizza down their throats, finishing things for the boys.

Over at the girls table, Ella groans. "I can't, the grasshopper hasn't done anything to me!" Her stomach gurgles. "And I think the bull still wants to leave."

"The winners of this round… are the guys!"Chris announced. The scoreboard updated and Jo glared at Ella.

(confessional)

Chef: I was excited about the next dish. I made it from scratch. (he chuckles)

Static.

"All right, who's ready for the third course?" Chris asked, clasping his hands again. The view shifts to Geoff as Chef removes the covered dish in front of him. "Spaghetti!" The dish wasn't quite as he said. The 'noodles were too thick and red, the 'sauce' was green, and the 'meatballs' looked like something a cat coughed up. "Well, actually, Earthworms covered in snail slime sauce and hairballs."

"No! I can't take anymore!" Geoff cried, moving to run out of the room. Duncan grabbed his arm. "Dude, I will shove food down your mouth, even if you leave."

"Right, right, I'm good." Geoff said. There is a flash transition to the boys tying blindfolds around their heads, and placing clothespins on their noses. "I love spaghetti. Spaghetti is good." Geoff tried to give himself a pep talk.

On the girls table Crimson had already finished her dish, Kitty was in the middle of hers, and Amber was gripping the table, as though trying to force herself into eating it. The boys are shown again now having finished their plates, though Alejandro and Trent looked traumatized. Noah looks like he might puke.

" And once again, the winners are the guys!" Chris announced, the scoreboard updated to show the guys lead as they cheered.

"Okay, some of us need to step up their game." Jo said glaring at Amber.

"Excuse me? I've eaten two out of three dishes without complaint! Meanwhile Ella's skipped out on two and complained about all three! Oh, but I get it, Ella's not a target because she's loyal to you!" Amber retorted.

"Guys we have to work together as a team or we'll never win! Don't you want cute towel boys to serve you drinks?" Kitty asked. Everyone blinked. "What just me?"

"All right everybody." Chris continued. "Time for course number four. No nine-course meal would be complete without soup." The shot switched to Chef pulling the covers off of Noah and Alejandro's dish. The soup had flies around it, and the two boys looked like they'd puke just seeing it.

"Today's special is," The host's voice explained over a shot of one of the bowls. The broth was snot colored and several nails, hairs and other unidentifiable things float in it. "French Bunyon soup with hangnail crackers."

(Confessional)

Geoff: I think they just used stuff from Chef's bathroom floor.

Static

Noah: Okay at least everything else was proven relatively unharmful for human consumption, but this? It's not even sanitary.

Static

The girls looked down at their soup with concern. Then Kitty smirked. Geoff, Trent, and even Duncan are shown to be having trouble eating the first spoonful of soup. The guitarist himself is even twitching. Kitty returned with a funnel and placed it in Amber's mouth. She poured the soup down the funnel no problem.

"Huh, I didn't even taste it." The bookworm remarked. "Where'd you get that idea?"

"Soda chugging contests." Kitty shrugged.

"The girls win again!" Chris announced after the footage skipped. He pointed to the girls as the scoreboard updated and the girls cheered. "The score's now tied up at two."

(Confessional)

Kitty: And my sister said chugging soda had no practical application.

Static

"Only five more courses left. Bon appetit!" Chris told them.

A song began to play as a montage of the next four courses was shown. The lyrics suggested it had been written for the challenge and the tune was reminiscent of the 1980s.

You gotta eat (Eat!)

Eat to win

{Chef chew for a moment before sticking his tongue out and pulling a piece of white gum from his mouth. He adds it to a ball of gum in a variety of colors then sets the plate down in front of a deadpan Crimson.}

Don't let them gross you out

Don't let them push you down

{Wearing a face mask and gloves Chef squeezed a skunk's tails so the liquid dripped into a glass with a straw in it. Kitty takes a nervous sip and falls over.}

Stand up tall and say you can (Ahh!)

{Chef draws a smiling face on a green flip flop with a caulking gun. Duncan attempts to bit into it but he teeth are not strong enough}

You gotta eat (Eat!)

Eat to win

Ooh, you gotta eat

Eat to win

{Finally Chef chops up a half rotted bell pepper. Geoff, Noah, and Alejandro watch. The party dude look like he's looking forward to the dish until Chef pulls the ladle out of the soup, revealing an empty can of soda, a fish head, and a banana peel. A fly flies pass and Alejandro looks faint.}

/

The montage ends and the camera panned over the campers. Everyone looks exhausted and drained save Crimson. Several groans can be heard as Chris announced the next dish. "Wow, it's still tied up. We're down to the last course in the challenge."

Chef removed the cover from the dishes before Trent and Duncan, revealing a slightly pinkish but otherwise normal looking hotdog. "It's delicious dolphin wieners. " The host declared as the covers were removed from Ella and Kitty's dishes. "Hot dogs made of dolphin."

Ella gasped over the sound of a dolphin's cry. "But dolphins are among earth's most majestic creatures! I can't eat it!"

"Princess if you don't eat it, I'll make you eat it!" Jo growled. Meanwhile the boys seemed to have no qualms about eating the dish as they were all in various states of finishing.

The rest of the girls were all eating save Jo, who was threatening to shove the hotdog into Ella's mouth. "No! I can't! You can't make me!" The princess wannabe cried.

"You're gonna eat it!" Jo ordered forcing this hotdog into her mouth. Ella had no choice but to comply. She finished. "There, was that so hard?" She asked, Ella just sobbed.

Both teams had finished their hotdogs. Chris frowned. "Well we're still tied. I guess we'll solve this by having an eat-off."

/

The footage skipped ahead to show a tray of fifteen shot glass arranged in three rows of five. Duncan and Jo are shown behind it as Chris explains the final challenge. "The one who can drink the most shot glasses of fresh, delicious blended cockroach." The two campers give Chef an uncertain look as he blends the pests together. "will be the winner. This unlikely satisfying blend of eight different cockroaches is vitamin rich for your balanced lifestyle."

Chef poured the concoction into the glasses legs stuck out of them. "On your mark, get set, go!"

The two combatants locked eyes and downed their first shot. They winced then drank their second, the footage skipped to show them on their seventh shot. Each having drank the rest. Duncan quickly grabbed the glass and drank it down as quickly as possible. "I am not losing to a girl!" He smirked.

"And Duncan wins!" Chris announced as the scoreboard updated to show the boys win. The boys all cheered.

"Hah looks like you're not so great after all huh jo?!" Amber called.

"Shut. Up." Jo groaned. Then she puked on the table. A still intact roach was in the bile. Ella puked, followed by Alejandro, then Trent. Chef watched holding a mop in preparation. Suddenly his cheeks bulged as well. Chris is shown holding back his own vomit and motioning for the camera to stop filming Geoff and Duncan are the last ones shown to puke, directly onto the camera lens.

The challenge now over we see a large yacht next to the dock of shame, a gangplank lay on the dock enticingly. "The guys are the big winners today." Chris began as the music generally use for elimination plays. All the guys are shown walking towards the yacht save for Geoff.

"And the girls go their separate ways." The camera panned down from the setting sun to Amber entering the former boys side of the cabin. "With Jo and Amber on the outs it seems the bookworm is flying solo. For now."

We see Kitty smiling in the window as she waves goodbye, then fades to Geoff staring out the window of the yacht longingly as it pulls away. "What shocking surprises are in store for our campers next week as they head for the big merge? Tune in on Total. Drama. Island!"

Chapter Text

"Last time on Total Drama Island…" The recap begins with the clip of the team's dissolving, Alejandro winking at Amber, and her cool response. "The Bass and Gopher teams were disbanded into a Battle of the Sexes challenge that put their taste buds to the puke test." Chef, Duncan, and Geoff are shown struggling not to puke.

"With bovine testicles, live bug insect pizza, and liquid roach juice on the menu," Each dish is shown in turn. "not only was this the single biggest retch fest this host has ever seen, but Duncan's desire not to lose to a girl paid off and scored a big win for his compadres." Trent and Alejandro are shown throwing up as well, followed by Duncan victory and the girl's sadness.

" While the guys set sail aboard a weekend retreat on the S.S. Lap o' Luxury," The boys cheer and are seen walking down the dock. "the girls are conflicted." Amber is shown walking into the other side of the cabin. This is followed by Jo and her fighting during the contest. Ella trying to break up the fighting, while Kitty tries to get everyone to chill out." Amber has drawn the line, when will Jo break the line? Can Ella and Kitty mend the line? Does Crimson even care about the line?" A clip of the goth's apathetic reaction to all of this is shown.

"For the answers to all these cliffhangers and more, stay tuned to the most exciting episode yet on Total. Drama. Island!

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

We begin the episode proper with a shot of Amber reading at the dock while Kitty treads water nearby. The camera pans right to show Jo, Ella, and Crimson in lounge chairs. The goth's having been placed under a tree. Jo glared at Amber, who glared back. Ella looked between the two sadly. Kitty glanced at Crimson in exasperation while the goth remained apathetic.

A fly landed on Jo's arm and she tried to crush it. It flew away and Ella let it land on her finger. She gave Jo a concerned look. The jockette rolled her eyes and returned to glaring at Amber.

Kitty gasped. "Hey I think-" She was cut off by a loud deep ships horn.

The camera cut to the boys standing happily at the bow of the yacht they had taken previously. The ship stopped where the boat of losers usually stood. The gangplank lowered and the boys stepped off one at a time. First Geoff, then Duncan, Alejandro, and Trent. Noah came last.

"What a weekend! Woowee!" Duncan bragged.

"I know dude! That kind of fun is priceless!" Geoff cheered.

"Alejandro and I took a real shine to those lovely ladies who served us hand and foot." Duncan added.

"The spa treatments were amazing indeed," He turned to Noah. "I'm surprised you didn't indulge more amigo?"

"I did indulge. In peace, quiet, and a good book, my favorite things to indulge in." The cynic smirked.

(confessional)

Jo: They just have to rub it in, don't they?"

Static

"So what have you ladies been doing?" Duncan asked as the girls gathered near the foot of the dock.

"Has Jo tried to kill Amber?" Noah added.

"Not yet." the jockette growled.

Noah handed Duncan and five dollar bill. "Guess you were right. She does have some restraint."

"It's good to see everyone get along." Alejandro smirked.

"Yeah I love you guys! Group hug!" Geoff cheered. Noah cringed but was saved by an announcement over the loudspeaker. "Listen up, campers! " Chris began. "As of right now, all teams are officially dissolved. From here on in, it's every camper for themselves!" Each word was punctuated by a dramatic sting. \

Duncan withdrew. "Ahem, well, uh, it's about time we flew solo."

"Finally! No to drag me down!" Jo cheered.

"Oh I'm ready." Amber muttered glaring at Jo.

"Then get ready for this!" Chris told them.

The sound of a ships horn draws Kitty and Noah's attention. Dramatic music swells as each campers reaction is shown.

"You are f**king kidding me." Duncan groaned.

"But they were voted out!" Amber pouted.

"Well, well things just got more interesting." Jo chuckled. Trent looked torn.

Vague chanting began as a boat returned. At the bow were two nearly identical girls. Both were waving, one with a smirk on her face, and the other nervously. The former notices the latter and pushes her over.

"Back by popular audience demand, it's the troublesome duo Amy and Samey!" Chris announced.

The music stopped as Amy disembarked. "That's right! I'm back and I'm in it to win it!" Sammy scrambles to catch up. "Oh and Samey's here too."

"AMY!" Ella shrieked, hugging her. "I missed you!"

"Get off me- wait did you just say you missed me?" Ella nodded. Amy's eyes softened. "Well I-" the twin glanced at her sister. "Of course you missed me." She scoffed. "I'm awesome."

"Excuse me Chris, did you not say no one could come back?" Alejandro asked,

"I did?" the host asked through the loudspeaker.

"And once you leave-" Alejandro began.

(Flashback)

And once you leave on the Dock of Shame, on the Boat of Losers, you can never, ever, ever, ever come back.

Static

Back in the present Chris continued. "Oh yeah. That. Yeah, I lied."

"Oh come on! We had to sit through that speech a million times and it didn't even matter?" Duncan complained.

"Amigo I feel your pain, but we should wait until Chris is actually present." Alejandro sighed.

The camera cut over to Trent. He smiled at Sammy. The sweet twin ran over and hugged him tightly. "After I left I had this horrible fear that Amy was right. You only felt sorry for me. I thought once I left you'd be dating her, but you stood up for me! You have no idea how happy I am."

'Okay, Samey! Stop rubbing it in!" Amy snapped.

"Sammy I get, but you can't tell me Complamy is a fan favorite." Noah addressed Chris.

"Well we liked her. Also we realized Trent's kinda boring without a love triangle." The host answered over the speaker.

"Hey!" The guitarist protested.

"Also, also Lighting's returning too!" Chris continued.

A smaller boat docked and Lightning jumped off. Noah and Jo glared at him. "No way!"

"Sha boo-yah! The Lightning is back and this time he isn't attached to nerd girl!" Lightning cheered.

"I'm male!" Noah snapped his eye twitching.. Crimson placed a hand on his shoulder.

"Whatever!" the football jock turned to Jo. "You probably thought you had this in the bag dude, but now that Lightning's here you might as well give up."

Jo looked like she was going to pop a blood vessel. "I'll kill him." She growled.

"I'll come up with an alibi." Noah agreed.

"All right, campers!" Chris spoke over the loudspeaker once more "Report to the amphitheater where you'll learn all about this week's challenge!" He made a clicking noise. "McLean out!"

"Whatever. We all know who's going home." Amy smirked at Sammy. The younger twin sighed.

"Hey." Amber said, causing Sammy to jump in the air. "I'm sleeping on the side of the cabin that used to be the boys. You can join me if you like." As the bookworm walked away Sammy smiled.

/

The footage cuts to a distance shot of the camp. It zoomed in on the boys cabin, then cut inside. Duncan and Noah are sitting on top of two of the bunks with Geoff and Trent below them respectively. Alejandro sat on top of the last bunk. The open doorway is darkened by the silhouette of Lightning.

"Aww man you guys gave up Lightning's bunk?" The football player frowned.

"You weren't here man." Duncan scoffed.

"There is room under my bunk amigo." Alejandro offered.

"Lightning wants the bunk he chose in the first place." The turned to Noah and Trent. "Of course both ya'll will have to switch bunks with Al cause Lightning don't feel right sharing a bunk with a girl."

Noah slammed the book he had been reading shut. He narrowed his eyes at Lightning. "Get this through your protein addled brain numskull. I am not female!"

"What's she saying?" The football jock asked Geoff. "Lightning don't speak nerd."

Noah looked like he was about to give Lightning the tongue lashing of a lifetime, When Duncan stepped in. "It doesn't matter. I don't know where you're from, but you can't just barge in here and start making demands."

"Lightning can do what he wants." The football jock retorted.

"Woah," Trent said, stepping in between them. "Let's just chill, okay?"
"Please amigos, there's no need for this arguing." Alejandro added.

Lightning scoffed. "Fine, Lightning will get his bed once she's voted off anyway." With that he left.

(confessional)

Duncan: It's a matter of principle. We let him get away with this, and he'll think he can get away with anything.

Static

/

The confessional cut to the thirteen campers sitting in makeshift three tiered bleachers. The top tier was reserved for the boys. From left to right sat, Trent, Noah, Duncan, Alejandro, Lightning and Geoff. In the second row sat Amber, Crimson, Jo, and Kitty. The bottom row held Amy, Ella and Sammy.

"Welcome to your next challenge!" Chris told them from off screen. "The time-honored game of torture. Say Uncle!" The host slid onscreen facing the camera.

"You are all about to be put through the tests of endurance" He continued. "so insane, that some of 'em sent our interns to the emergency room." Everyone looked, shocked, concerned, or wary. The exception is Crimson who remains as deadpan as normal."If you back down from the challenge or do not last the required ten seconds," he narrowed his eyes briefly. "you will be eliminated. The winner will not only be safe from elimination, but will win this luxurious trailer." The camera briefly cuts to a small sparkling trailer. The kind that can't move on its own. "Yours to take home at the end of the summer."

"Psychological torture or physical?" Noah asked.

"Why don't you ask my lovely assistant? " Chris told him happily. He gestured right, where Chef is wearing a hockey mask and holding a meat cleaver. "All right. Let's do this." the host said as the camera cut to him. He stands next to a large wooden wheel. It's poorly constructed, split in to 24 sections, and within each is a small picture.

"Duncan, you're first up. Let's spin the Wheel of Misfortune to select your torture." He spins the wheel and a game showesque tune plays. Duncan is shown looking wide eyed in concern. The wheel comes to a stop on a picture of a turtle. "Turtle puck shots!"

Chris put a hand on Duncan's shoulder. "Our interns spent weeks collecting the grumpiest, angriest, crustiest, hungriest old snapping turtles on the island." He gestured off screen. "While you stand in the goalie net completely unprotected, " We cut to Chef, still in the hockey mask, holding a hockey stick as a bunch of turtles snapped near his feet. "Chef will fire off turtle slapshots."

The footage flashes forward to Chris pushing a wide eyed Duncan into a red goalie net. "If I were you, dude, I'd protect my coconuts." he whispered. He ran off screen then quickly ran back. "This could get ugly." Duncan covered them. .

The scene flashed forward again. " If you can stay in for ten seconds," Chris reminded him, as a timer appeared in the upper left corner. "you'll go on to the second round."

A buzzer sounded and a turtle was sent towards Duncan immediately. He manages to duck. The second on hits him in the shoulder causing him to cry out. The camera moved to Chef hitting turtle after turtle. The sounds of them biting Duncan came from offscreen. The camera returns to Duncan who is now covered in turtles biting into his body parts. One final turtle is shot off and it hits the family jewels. He groans and falls over.

"And Duncan moves on to the next round!" Chris says cheerily and the turtle on the delinquents head continues to snap. "Isn't this fun?"

"Yeah, it's a riot." He groaned.

"Dude that looked brutal!" Geoff said, leaning over to talk with Kitty.

"Yeah, that was worse than the time my friend smashed his head into the pavement. And he had a concussion afterwards." Kitty agreed.

"I'd put up with the pain for you though." Geoff smiled.

Kitty laughed. "That's such a cheesy line," She smiled shyly. "But thank you.

/

"Next up," Chris said as he walked past the wheel. "Ella. Your torture is…" He spun the wheel and the game show tune played again. The princess wannabe stared wide eyed at the wheel which eventually stopped on a picture of three bees. "Shirt of bees."

A gong sounds and we see Ella standing next to Chef who has a box of bees nearby. "We'll release a bunch of trained bees close to your body. Make a shirt around your torso and shoulders. If you can hold still for ten seconds , you can go to the next level."

"Oh well that doesn't seem too bad." Ella smiled.

Chef released the bees which formed a shirt around Ella's torso. The camera cut to the other campers looking on nervously. Well most of them, Jo, Noah, and Crimson have little reaction. There's a cut back to Ella who is humming happily. A shot of Chris with an annoyed look on his face is shown. The bell chimes and the bees return to their box.

"I found that quite enjoyable actually." She beamed.

Noah tapped Crimson on the shoulder and mimed gagging. "Any more of that humming and I would've gone insane.

The Goth's lips twitched upwards. "Sanity is overrated anyway."

"Yes, but H.P. Lovecraft this is not." The cynic smirked.

/

"Well done, Ella. Since you didn't even complain once, you get to choose who goes next." Chris told her.

"No thank you." Ella replied. For above her Jo bent down and whispered in her ear. "Oh actually I'll take up your offer. I choose," Jo whispered more. "Lightning, With lake leeches. Because he wouldn't know a girl if she was three feet in front of him!"

Jo glared at Lightning. :Maybe this'll teach you to respect a girl!"

"What girl?" The football jock asked.

Chris winced. "Yeah, Chef?" The hulking man brought in a large barrel with several purple leeches attached to the outside. He set it down and place a step stool next to it. "All right, Lightning" Chris said as Chef pat the barrel. "Time's a-wastin'. Get your butt in the barrel of leeches."

(confessional)

Noah: I'll admit I experienced some great Schadenfreude watching Lightning do his challenge. Good one Jo.

Static

"Please Lightning can handle a bunch of leeches." The football jock scoffed as he walked towards the barrel.

"Oh. And if your victim can last ten seconds without saying uncle, you get eliminated instead" Chris said as some dramatic note pierced the background. "which means you lose your chance to win this!" The trailer is shown again, this time with harp music.

Lightning got into the barrel with confidence. The camera focused on his smirking face. The leeches can be heard moving as the football jock's face became more and more pained. He screamed and jumped out of the barrel. The camera pans up his body to show it is covered in leeches feeding.

"Ooh… Close shave, Lightning. Ten seconds exactly." Chris smirked. "next"

/

The wheel spins again, landing on a picture of a couple of eels. "Kitty you're next." The host announced. The footage skip forward to show Kitty sitting in a chair while Chef prepare to attach a couple of eels to her his hands gloved so as not to be shocked.

"Eels? That doesn't seem too bad." The selfie lover claimed. Chef attached the eels to her. We watch as Kitty is shocked for several seconds. "I was wrong! Get them off me!" She yelled. Chef removed them.

"Sorry Kitty, seven seconds isn't ten. You're out. You can return to your new seat." The seat next to Jo is switched out of a set of open stocks.

/

The spins and challenge begin to alternate, along with the music. Each spin is accompanied by by the game show tune, while several dramatic spikes punctuate each torture. First Noah having a nose hair plucked. Then Geoff eating out of a huge tub of ice cream with several other tubs around him. He takes another bite and screams. Finally Amy is shown being squeezed by a large purple snake.

The wheel was spun again this time landing on a picture of a skunk. "Our next challenge will be…" Chris trailed. "Jumping over a series of rocks with a bunch of skunks under them. Tough one. Amy you took that snake down, so you can choose the next victim."

Amy smirked as she looked over the crowd, so far only Geoff and Kitty in stocks, as though pondering it. "Let's see eenie meenie miny… Samey. '

The younger twin gulped. Trent stood up in protest. "No, wait! I'll take her place!"

"Aww what a noble gesture." Ella said her hands clasped together.

"No." Sammy said and she turned to him. Everyone stared in shock. The younger twin grasped the guitarists hands in her own. "I appreciate it Trent, but this is something I need to do myself."

Trent looked into her determined eyes and sighed. "I understand."

(Confessional)

Sammy: Ever since I realized Trent actually liked me for me, and not out of pity, I've been trying to get up the nerve to beat Amy at something. Now's my chance. It might not change much, She's still gonna pick on me. I'll still feel insecure, but I'll have at least one victory. For now that's enough.

Static

The footage skipped ahead to show the camera as it panned over a line of rocks with skunks under them. Sammy stood at the end of the line. The timer appeared in the upper right corner. Sammy took a deep breath and began to jump over the rocks. She reached the second rock and a skunk sprayed her. She almost fell over, then she glanced at Trent and continued. By the time the timer went off she had made it across.

"Sammy stuck it out, " Chris announced, now wearing a clothes pin on his nose. "so Amy is out of the game! Reckless choice by Amy. Still, let's give her props for sticking it to her own sister." The mean twin glared at her sister in fury, even as her chair was replaced with stocks.

"Now let's see who showed less courage than Sammy and cried uncle"

/

The first shown is Noah reclining in a chair as Chef pours hot white goop on his face. He screams immediately and tears it off his face. "Gotta love the marshmallow wax!" Chris announced. Noah's face is now slightly red as he glared at the camera.

The next clip is Trent locked into a pair of wooden shorts as a woodpecker has at it. "And the woodpecker shorts!" Trent starts to yank at the lock desperately.

The third had Amber with Chef holding her braids up. The camera zoomed out to show Chef as he pulled out a chainsaw. "And a little visit to the Wawanakwa Hair Salon." Chef started the chainsaw, the brunette's eyes widened and she ran off.

"And don't forget the new-age music torture." Peaceful music played as a pink maned unicorn stood on a rock in space. The moon shines brightly in the background. Dolphins fly past as we see Jo is the one wearing the headphones. They barely make it to a ringed planet before Jo threw them to the ground and tried to stomp on them, only for Chef to grab them before she can.

/

The camera showed an incredibly large box. Lightning walked into the box and it began to move as purple hair flew out of it. The timer dinged and The football exited the box. The large bigfoot like creature from previous episodes falls out the box with a lump on his head. "Sha please that was easy for Lightning. You need to step up your game Chris!"

"Lightning, since you beat the fierce Sasquatchanakwa, you can choose the next victim" Chris told him.

Lightning looked over the campers. Other than himself only Duncan and Alejandro were free. "Well Lightning knows he wants Al to be the next victim but he's not sure what torture to choose."

"May I make a suggestion?" Amber asked.

' "Alright, but you better not take credit for Lightning's win." The football jock told her.

"Oh I won't." The bookworm said, smirking at Alejandro despite her current situation. "Poison Ivy spa treatment." The Spainard blanched.

"Lightning likes the way you think girl." He turned to Chris. "What she said."

Alejandro lay against a steel table and Chef prepared to put the plant on. Just before he could begin Alejandro jumped from the table. "No! Immunity isn't worth marring this." He said, flashing a smile at the camera. Chef looked relieved.

(Confessional)

Amber: I knew Alejandro wouldn't go through with it. His face is way too important to him. (An anxious look took her face) But what if he had?! (She slapped herself.) No mercy Amber, he wouldn't show you any.

Static

"Looks like you chose the right torture Lightning." Chris smirked. He walked over to the makeshift bleachers as Alejandro was placed in a stock. He frowned and looked at Amber. "But Amber I'm surprised at you. Betraying the guy you like? Tsk Tsk." He chastised her.

"Duncan you're up. " He told the delinquent. "After twenty rounds of torture, we're down to two steely competitors and the sudden death round."

(Confessional)

Duncan: Please I am not losing to protein for brains Lightning. That trailer had my name written on it. So bring it McLean!

Static

"Alright, dude it's up to you." The host said as he spun the 'wheel of misfortune for the final time. "Your final challenge is…" The wheel stopped on a picture of a bear. "The Grizzly Bear Log Roll."

"A grizzly bear what?" Duncan asked.

/

The shot cut to the sun high in the sky, as dramatic music sets the scene. The camera panned down to show a Grizzly bear standing on a log in the water, a confident look on its face. The camera panned left to show Duncan looking at it wide eyed, as Chris explained the challenge. "Molotov the Bear performs with the Russian national circus and has been the European log-rolling champion for the past twelve years."

The camera focused on Molotov who began to roll on the log as Chris continued. " To win, you must last ten seconds on the log while avoiding certain death in the piranha-infested water." Said carnivorous fish jump from the water to prove his point.

Duncan glared at the bear. The camera shifted from Duncan's glare to the bear's smirk. Duncan's glare to the bear's smirk. Duncan's glare to the bear frowning as he realized the delinquent wasn't backing down. Then one final shift from Duncan's glare to the bears now matching expression.

"Duncan you could back out now." Chris offered.

The delinquent looked at Molotov who had regained his smirk. He glazed back at Lightning who was smirking as though he'd already won. Then at all the other campers in their stocks. Finally the trailer which sparkled as harp music played.

"No way. I've been to juvie. This bear is nothing." Duncan scoffed.

The footage flashed ahead to show Duncan getting his balance on the log as Molotov watched his game face on. The timer appeared in the upper left corner. "And… go!" Chris signaled.

The camera focuses on Duncan as he struggles to keep his balance. He cries out a bit, as the camera zoomed in on Molotov who has once again begun to smirk. He starts to move faster. The camera focused on the log rolling beneath the bear's feet, then on Duncan who has started to keep up.

The focus began to rapidly shift between Molotov and Duncan. Eventually the delinquent's face settled into a determined smirk. Molotov began to look concerned. Finally Duncan jumped on the log bringing it to a standstill. Molotov fell onto the defeat as he rolled into the water. When he came out the piranha had shaved him to the skin.

"Ha! The only one getting a shaving is you!" Duncan bragged.

"Duncan wins! So Lightning is out!" Chris declared.

"Chris say what?!" Lightning asked in shock. "Lightning don't lose!"

"You just did.~" Chris said in a sing song voice. "Duncan wins the challenge, invincibility, and the grand prize!" Chris motions off screen, the focus shifted to the Trailer still sparkling as a maskless Chef shows it off.

"Hah I win you overblown jock!" Duncan cheated at Lightning looked on, still in shock. He ran over to the trailer and grabbed onto it. "And what a sweet thing you are."

"While Duncan checks out his trailer full of food " The host addressed the trapped contestants. " the rest of you can go to the confessional booth and vote off a camper. Other than Duncan."

/

After the standard shot of the island at night Chef's silhouette is shown howling at the moon.

"Okay." Chris said as the scene cut to him standing at his oil drum podium. "So first up, we ran out of marshmallows."

"Aww." Kitty sighed as the thirteen campers are shown sitting on their logs.

The view shifts back to Chris at the podium. "I've reviewed the confessionals and I have to say, there's lots of hate on in this group, which is awesome! "

The host smiled as gestured to his left. "While I normally protect your privacy, in the spirit of airing your dirty laundry," a television dropped down from somewhere off screen. "I'm gonna go live with your confessionals!"

The camera zoomed in on the screen as the usual static clears.

(Confessional)

Alejandro: As I'd prefer not to have my beauty sleep interrupted by bickering in the cabin, I must vote for Lightning.

Static

Jo: Lightning! The guy is so dumb! Don't get me wrong, braids and Scrawny are still on my hit list but Lightning is a much bigger threat!"

Static

Sammy: I always vote for Amy. I just wish it worked. (A scared look comes onto her face.) She's not gonna see this, right?"

Static

Amy: Jo wants to vote for Lightning so I vote for Lightning, but only because I need her to vote out Samey!

Static

Duncan: I vote for Lightning. Dude can't just demand things.

Static

Ella: Since my lovely friend Jo wants to vote for Lightning. I vote for Lightning.

Static

Noah: Jo and I decided to put aside our feud and focus on the bigger threat. I've had people call me a girl in a vain attempt to insult me, but actually mistaking me for a girl? That takes a monumental amount of stupidity. If I haven't made it explicitly clear, I vote for Lightning.

Static

Amber: I want to vote for Jo but I think there's some symbolism in voting out Alejandro. Like I'm renouncing my feelings for him. So I vote for Alejandro.

Static

The campers are shown, with Amy glaring at Samey, and Lightning looking shocked. The view switched to Chris at his makeshift podium, a smug look on his face. "Lots of dirt revealed there, huh? But in the end, it was still seven votes against Lightning. So, adios."

"What? Lightning only saw six votes against him." The football jock said, crossing his arms.

"Yeah, Crimson's wasn't that interesting. She just said your name." Chris told him.

"Man Lightning don't need any of you!" He scoffed.

The footage flashed ahead to Lightning on the boat of losers, yelling insults as it drove off. "You ain't nothing! Lightning could beat all of you with his hands tied behind his back!"

The camera switched back to the threshold of the dock of shame. Everyone was gathered at the end. Alejandro gave Amber a hurt look. "Amber-"

"Oh please." The bookworm interrupted. "Like you wouldn't have done the same!" She pushed him out of the way, tears in her eyes.

Duncan turned to the rest of the campers. "So party at my new pad?" Everyone cheered.

"Has anyone seen my lucky hat?" Geoff asked.

/

The scene faded to a shot of the moon as the camera panned to the entrance of a cave. It cut inside to show Sasquatchanakwa. He pulled out a hat that looked a lot like Geoff's placed it on his head. He admired himself in a hand mirror. The camera panned left to show the furless bear was now wearing one of Lighting Jersey's It flexed its arms and giggled.

Chapter Text

The recap begins with the standard shot of Chris on the dock. "Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island…" We see the teens in their makeshift three tiered bleachers. A graphic of the teams symbols is overlaid and they crash into each other. " The teams were dissolved, leaving each and every camper to look out for number one. " The clip of the boys dropping hands is followed by the clip of Amy and Sammy returning. "And just to add a little more drama to the mix, Amy, Samey and Lightning returned for more fun!" Lightning is shown arriving followed by the shot of almost all campers in stocks at the end of the challenge.

"The campers remained to suffer all manner of abuse in the No Pain, No Game Challenge!" The new age music, eel shock, and wawanakwa hair salon tortures are all briefly shown ending in Chris spinning the wheel.. "In an act of chivalry, Trent stepped up to save his girl from the Skunk jump, but Samey decided to do it to spite her sister," The clip of Trent offering and Sammy refusing his followed by the clip of her finishing her challenge. "And in a death defying display of log rolling, a grizzly got a piranha haircut," The clip of Duncan winning the log roll and the grizzly's subsequent haircut is shown. " winning Duncan invincibility." Duncan is shown walking up holding the trailer.

"Now that the campers are forced to fend for themselves, who will be selfless? Who will be selfish? And who will eat shellfish?" Clips of the campers in stocks, Lightning's elimination, and the campers cheering about a party at Duncan's trailer are shown. "

We return to a close up of Chris on the docks. "Stay tuned for the most thrilling episode yet on Total. Drama. Island!"

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode proper begins with a full shot of the island, we then zoom in on a tree, a tired looking squirrel holding a small mug is shown. It is furless as a result of Geoff's burp in a previous episode A small red bird flies from the tree straight into the trailer door. The door slams open to reveal Duncan who looks awake by comparison.

/

The camera panned down from the rising sun to show Sammy and Trent sitting on the dock together. "You know I'm proud of you, you really showed your sister." The guitarist smiled.

"Yeah," Sammy agreed, smiling nervously. "I'm in a weird state between excited and terrified," She admitted. "I'm really glad I stood up to her, but I'm so worried about what she'll do in retaliation."

Trent put a hand on her shoulder in comfort. "Just remember whatever she does you have people who care about you. We'll back you up."

Sammy smiled and lay her head on Trent's shoulder.

(Confessional)

Sammy: Okay so Trent's been so supportive, and I really like him. (She stares at her feet.) But I'm not confident enough to tell him. I mean what if he just views me as a friend and I make things awkward?

Static

The confessional cuts to a close up of a cannon fuse being lit. The camera zooms out to show Chris as the one who lit it. He is wearing a Pirate Captain's uniform. Down to a fake parrot. He covers his ears and the cannon goes off.

The cannonball moves over where Duncan is relaxing in a chair. The Delinquent is snapped out of his revelry by the sound of his trailer exploding behind him. "Arr, maties!" Chris says in a badly done pirate accent, similar theme music plays in the background. "Meet me at the amphitheater in five minutes and I'll tell you about today's challenge!"

/

A shot of the amphitheater shows Chris and Chef standing on stage, Chef is wearing a pirate hat to match Chris but that's it. In between them is an indiscernible lump covered by a sheet. The campers file in each sitting on their respective team's bench despite their being no need. Duncan arrives last with a smoking bag and an angry glare. Kitty and Geoff give him a sympathetic glance then the camera cuts to the stage proper.

"Well, my little scallywags." Chris started. "Have we got an adventure in store for ye?" The parrot fell over but the host pushed him back up.

"What's under the sheet?" Geoff asked happily.

"All in good time, laddie." Chris answered. " Who here has a-hankerin' for a good ol' fashion treasure hunt?" Noah rolled his eyes at Crimson who's mouth twitched in an effort not to laugh. " Now, this treasure hunt's got a twist, mates. What you're looking for isn't hidden and it isn't treasure."

"If there's no treasure, then what's with the eyepatch and the plastic parrot?" Duncan scoffed.

"Arr, shiver me timbers!" Chris replied with enough excitement to knock the parrot completely off his shoulder. " Good question, me boy. You're looking for keys, " He explained holding up an example. "To a treasure chest!" On cue Chef removed the sheet revealing the lump to be a pile treasure chests.

"inside each of these chests," He continued as the camera zoomed in on said prize. " is a treasure that will pamper you landlubbers," The camera panned over the campers on their bleachers. "and one of these chests will even give you invincibility! " He laughed as Chef walked on screen carrying a bucket filled with short wooden boards. "Now come 'round and pull a clue out of this bucket or you'll have to walk the plank!"

Amber and Trent glanced at each other nervously before the footage skipped forward.

/

Twelve hands grab boards from the bucket around the same time leaving it empty. "These clues will tell ye where your key be stowed." Chris explained as the camera showed the two groups of campers examining their pulls.

The camera focused on Geoff's pull first. The black figure of a bear stood out from the white paper glued to the board. "A bear? Are you kidding me?"

"I was hoping you'd get that one, dude." Chris told him dropping the pirate accent. Next to him stood Amy who's clue gave Chris pause. "Haha, Chef's fridge. Nice." The picture is that of a door with a key inside. "I hear he brushes it daily for fingerprints. " Amy's pupils contract in fear.

A board with a picture of a tank with a key inside is shown next. There is a cut to show Duncan as the one holding it. Chris pops up behind him as though from now "That there is the septic tank. For the washrooms." Chris leaves as quickly as he came, Duncan raises a sarcastic brow at the screen.

"All you scallywags," Chris said, once more in his pirate accent, back in the center if the stage. "go find your keys and bring them back by six p.m. Eastern Standard Time…" He pointed to a gold wristwatch. "…to open up your chest and get your loot!" A short scene in which Chris opens a treasure chest with a key is shown.

"Fair thee well, young scallywags." Chris said. "Now get to it!"

(Confessional)

Jo: Seriously who comes up with these challenges? A treasure hunt? What are we kindergarteners?

Static

Geoff: Yah! I am all about this challenge! I mean sure a bear might maul me, but maybe we'll be friends?

Static

/

The footage cut to a shot of the purple snake seen in the previous challenge, a key is held in it's coils. "Trent's first challenge. To grab his key from the coils of a poisonous snake." The guitarist looks at the snake in thought and then raises a finger with a gasp. A flash transition takes us to his reappearance, he's holding a pair of mice in his hand. He throws the mice a distance away and the snake chases after it. Trent quickly grabs his key and runs back to where Sammy is waiting for him, a nervous look on her face. "That was way too easy." He grinned and Sammy gave him a sweet smile back.

/

"Amy must retrieve her key from inside Chef's bank vault of a fridge without getting caught." The host's voice overlaid as Amy looked from the clue to the fridge. She snuck through the kitchen looking around in fear. When she reached the door it revealed Chef inside a scowl on his face. Amy shut the door and walked off looking scarred for life.

/

Sammy is shown walking on screen. A skunk pokes its head out of the hole before ducking back inside. Sammy frowns in concern. Trent arrives shortly after, placing a concerned hand on her shoulder. "What's wrong?"

"My key is in that skunk hole. I'm kinda of scared to get it. One time Amy stuck a skunk in my spare clothes while on a camping trip. The smell didn't leave for days. " She shuddered.

"Well I have my key so I bet I could help." Trent offered.

"Are you sure that isn't against the rules?" Sammy asked.

"Chris never said we couldn't. Anyway we can just pour water down the hole and flush 'em out." The guitarist suggested.

"And they'll be okay?" The sweet twin wondered.

"They can swim." Trent reassured her.

"Okay…" She trailed smiling at him bashfully.

/

The camera slowly zoomed in on the mess hall. We cut inside to see Ella approaching Chef. The man himself had fallen asleep, at a table with several knives and a chainsaw. Ella gave Amy a thumbs up and the older twin began to tiptoe to the fridge. She reached the fridge, gently opened it and grabbed the key.

She shut the door and began to tiptoe out of the room, just as she was about to reach the door she stepped on a squeaky board. Chef began to stir in his sleep as dramatic music played. Ella began to sing a series of calming notes. After a few moments Chef fell back to sleep. Ella gave Amy a thumbs up again as the blonde snuck out of the door.

/

We see Sammy and Trent returning to the skunk hole with a bucket of water. They quickly pour water in the hole and run away. The skunks wash out and the two run to the hole. Sammy reaches in and pulls out her key. We see a close up of it.

(Confessional)

Trent: It's so amazing to have Sammy back. I've been meaning to ask her to be my girlfriend for awhile now. Maybe now's the right time."

Static

"Listen Sammy there's something I need to say." Trent told her.

"Yeah?" She asked,

"Will you be-" Trent began then he was cut off Kitty running through the area screaming she's holding a key in her hand. Trent and Sammy glance at each other in confusion then they both scream as they run away, a swarm of bees following.

(Confessional)

Trent: It seems like every time I'm about to get somewhere with Sammy something gets in the way. First Amy, then her being voted out, and now a swarm of bees! I need to make sure Sammy and I have alone time, and I think I know how.

Static

/

The confessional cuts to a close up of a clue it has a key over a fire on it. The brown hand lowered the key to reveal a ring of fire with a key hanging in the center of it. Dramatic music began to play as Alejandro smirked and easily flipped through the hoop. "Alejandro's acrobatics seem to be helping him with this challenge." The Spainard landed perfectly on his feet as he spun the key on his finger.

/

"But Amber seems to be out of her league." Chris narrated as the scene flashed to the bookworm. She's holding a clue with a bunny on it. She lowers her hand and smiles at the creature. It shows off rabidly sharp teeth and leaps at her. We see it hanging from her right braid.

/

Duncan's clue is shown closely before revealing the delinquent standing next to a foul smelling toilet. He gags, a pair of goggles on his face. "Meanwhile, back in the communal washrooms, things are starting to… pile up." Duncan takes a deep breath and begins to climb into the toilet.

/

The next clue showed a tree, the camera zoomed out to show Noah. The cynic shrugged as Crimson arrived. The goth moved under the tree and lifted Noah onto her shoulders. He quickly grabbed the key, and jumped to the ground, smiling at Crimson as he brushed himself off.

/

A key shines from its place around the bear's neck. The creature yawns and lays down to sleep. The camera panned right to the cave entrance. Geoff slowly begins to tip toe towards the bear when he gasps at something off screen. The camera zoomed to the other end of the cave to show the party dude's lucky hat. He glances at the still sleeping bear, before slowly tip-toeing past it.

/

The next scene showed a key hanging from a post, the dorsal fins of several sharks surrounding it. The camera zoomed out to show a deadpan Crimson standing on the dock in her normal clothing. She dives in and Noah moves into view a slightly concerned look on his face.

The Crimson swims over to the sharks, who rise out of the water with their teeth bared. The moment they see who it is, a frightened look comes across their faces and they swim away. Crimson returns to the dock feigning a yawn towards Noah, who smirks in return.

/

A shot of the Gopher cabin is shown. Trent walked into the right door and placed a letter on one of the beds. The envelope is a simple white one with Sammy's name written on it. He smiled and left.

/

The next key is shown in a wine glass that had been placed on a rock in the middle of a pair of chomping crocodiles. The camera zoomed out to show a broken rope bridge had been laid across two ladders. Jo stood on the bridge balancing on the gap between the two sides. "Is that all you got?!"

/

Ella is shown in a tree talking to a squirrel holding a key. The camera pans right to show the Gopher cabin again. Sammy enters the cabin and walks to her bunk. She picks up the letter and opened it. "Meet me by The Dock of Shame at five o'clock, I have something to ask you- Trent." A hopeful but nervous expression comes across her face. The camera follows her as she runs out the door. Sammy is so excited she drops the letter in a dirt outside the cabin. The camera zoomed in on it.

The camera pans left to show Ella has gotten down from the tree a key now in her hand. She heads towards the cabin when she spots the envelope. She picks it up and the camera shows the first three letters of the name are smeared. "M-Y?" Ella frowns. Her expression lightens. "My like Amy! I'd better get it to her!"

/

A shot was shown of a lone seagull offshore, it has the plastic rings of a six pack of soda around its neck. An alligator eats it before the scene flash transitions to the stinky toilet. The camera pans left to show Amy and Ella just outside. "So? Why'd you call me here?"

"I found this letter outside the cabin! I think it's for you!" The princess wannabe hands the letter to Amy. "Don't worry I didn't read it." She giggled.

Amy opened the letter, her eyes scanning over it. A smug look comes over her face. "Well it's about time!"

/

A flash transition takes us to the dock. Trent is waiting, looking at his wristwatch. The sound of footsteps is heard, and Trent looks up to see Sammy running towards him. We switch to a POV shot from Trent. A golden halo of light surrounds the blonde as a typical romantic tune plays. Her hair flies behind her in a perfect curtain. A record scratch interrupts the dream sequence as Sammy reaches the dock, her face red from running.

"I'm sorry I'm late!" She gasped. "So what did you want to talk about?"

Trent placed a hand on each of Sammy's shoulders. "Listen I've been wanting to tell you something for a long time." He takes a deep breath, and triumphant music begins to swell in the background."You see, when I first met you, I saw a girl who needed help. Someone with no confidence in herself. It hurt me to see. So I decided to help you out. I knew you had confidence in you somewhere. It just needed to be brought out."

Sammy smiled at his words. Trent continued. "It wasn't long before I realized that underneath all the self consciousness was a girl who was kind, compassionate, and selfless. Considering what your sister has done to you that is amazing in itself."

Sammy blushed looking at her feet. Trent cupped her face and lifted it. A quick pan shows us Amy heading towards the dock. Letter in hand and a smile on her face. There's a quick cut to the dock where Trent is talking to Sammy once more.

"You have faced the most horrible thing I've ever seen, and come out of it better than I think I could. So that's why I want to ask, will you be my girlfriend?"

Sammy smiles brighter than we've ever seen her. "Is this a dream?" She asks before shaking her head. "Scratch that, if it is a dream, I don't wanna wake up."

Trent gazed into her eyes. "This is totally real." He leaned forward and the two kissed. The camera panned back to Amy who stares in shock, dramatic stings play as the camera zooms in several times as the blonde's eyes fill with tears. Trent and Sammy are briefly shown kissing before it cuts back to Amy who drops the letter and runs away crying.

/

The scene cut back to a shot of the cave. It cut inside, where Geoff has finally made it past the bear. He reaches the end of the cave, and the camera cuts to a front shot of Geoff picking up his hat. He beams. "I missed you! Now I just gotta get out of here without waking the bear." As he says this a tall purple figure walks up behind him. A large finger taps Geoff on the shoulder. A horrified look slowly dawns on the party dude's face. He looks up, then there's a quick cut outside the cave as he screams.

/

We cut to the inside of the Gopher cabin where Amy is crying into a pillow. Ella enters the room. "Amy are you okay?" She sits down on the bed next to the blonde. "Was the letter bad?"

"It wasn't for me it was for Samey." Amy cried.

Ella gasped. "Amy I am so sorry!"

"It's not your fault." The twin muttered holding the pillow tightly to her. "Ella can I tell you something?" The princess wannabe nodded, an open expression on her face. "Ever since Samey and I were kids, no one has viewed me as my own person. It was always, look it's the twins! Or which one are you again? I hated it."

She took a deep breath to calm herself, "Then I decided If I just treated Samey horribly people would forget about her and pay attention to me. It kinda worked, but people still only like me in comparison to Samey. No one has ever said they like me specifically." She wiped her eyes. "I thought Trent might be the one, but he likes Samey."

Ella wrapped her arms around the older twin. "If it makes you feel better I like you."

Amy gave her a watery smile. "Thanks Ella."

Alejandro is walking through the forest when he spots Amber, who is still struggling to get the key away from the bunny still attached to her braid. The Spainard smirked and approached her. "Having trouble Chica? I would be more than happy to assist you."

"When hell freezes over." Amber retorted.

"Several depictions of hell are that of a frozen wasteland, hell has theoretically frozen over already." Alejandro replied his eyebrow arched in a challenging manner.

"It's an idiom!" the bookworm protested. He finally got the rabbit off her braid long enough to grab her key from it's neck. Though the creature latched back on immediately.

"I hate to interrupt your lover's quarrel, but I'd like to talk strategy." A droll voice intervened. Noah walked into the clearing.

"It's not a lover's quarrel, now what's this about strategy?" Amber asked.

"I'm sure you've noticed Geoff, Kitty, and Duncan are all close. It's unlikely they'd vote each other out." The cynic began.

"True in a way they have an unofficial alliance, but why target them and not Jo's alliance?" Alejandro asked.

"Because their alliance is based on strategy,nor friendship, so its more likely to fall apart." Amber nodded.

"Exactly, now of the three I think Duncan is our best bet, both Kitty and Geoff are likeable so it'll be harder to get votes against them." Noah explained.

"Fine you have my vote." Amber decided.

"Mine as well." Alejandro followed suit. Amber glared at him.

(Confessional)

Amber: I'm only voting with Alejandro because it's a good strategy, got it?

Static

/

The confessional cut to Jo on the steps of the Gopher cabin. A shadow fell over her and the camera zoomed out to reveal Crimson. "Stonewall. What do you want?" The jockette asked.

"I heard a group of campers are planning to vote out Duncan." Crimson offered.

"Duncan huh? He is a strong competitor…" She trailed. The seed planted Crimson walked away.

/

(Confessional)

Noah:I did say I'd get back at Duncan for misleading Geoff into 'hugging' me. Don't get me wrong though, I'm still doing it for the strategic reasons I mentioned too.

Static

The confessional cut to a shot of Duncan sitting on a stump, holding his key. Stink lines come off him. He glares at the others. "Not a word."

The camera pans across the campers to Amber who is standing next to Geoff. The bunny still has its teeth embedded in her braid. "Uh, dude? Do you know you've got a bunny on your Braid?"

"I hadn't noticed." Amber said sarcastically. "Seriously though I can't get him off."

"Yarr." Chris intervened, the camera panning left to show him standing with a booted foot on a chest. ". It be time to claim your treasure. Those fortunate enough to bear the precious key, " He said as the campers are shown watching expectantly. "come forth with it!" He gestured to a group of twelve treasure chest lined in two rows of six and placed under the camp's entry sign.

/

The first key used was in the hands of Alejandro. He unlocked the chest and looked at the items inside. A bag of chips and a candybar. "Seriously?"He glanced at Chris who pointed finger guns at him and nodded. "I suppose it's better than Chef's cooking." The Spainard sighed.

/

Next was Ella who frowned as she wiggled the key around in the lock. She turned to Chris. "Excuse me but it seems my key doesn't fit any locks."

"Oh, yeah." The host chuckled. "I forgot to mention that some of the keys don't open up any chests."

"Truly? How disappointing." She sighed.

"You think you're disappointed, this'd be much funnier if Geoff had gotten his key!" The host frowned.

"Hey, I didn't need the key." The party dude shrugged. "I got my treasure." He smiled holding up his lucky hat.

/

Amy and Sammy are shown taking their prizes out of chests next to each other. Sammy stared at the toaster she got confusedly. Amy reached in and grabbed out a gift basket. She picked up a gold embroidered red card with a marshmallow on a pink starburst background. "Look Samey, an invincibility pass!' She smirked, waving it in her sister's face. "Bet you wish you had this!" Sammy and Trent glared at her.

/

Crimson opened her chest and wordlessly pulled out a pair of two liter soda bottles. She glanced right to Jo,holding a lamp shaped like a woman's leg. "I'll trade you."

"Gladly." Jo agreed and the two exchanged prizes.

Amber frowned, holding up her prize: a tube of red lip gloss.

/

Duncan reached in and pulled out a small green bottle. "What's this?"

The camera zoomed out as Chris appeared in the foreground. "Duncan will be able to cover up that foul stench with a can of New Cleaver Body Spray. Cleaver. It cuts through the stink." Chris disappeared as fast as he'd showed up.

"I just snorkeled in a septic tank so you could plug your sponsor?!" Duncan exclaimed angrily. "That's shameless. I kinda respect that."

/

The camera panned across the campers and their treasure, if they got one. From left to right stood Crimson with her lamp, Amber with her lip gloss, Geoff holding his lucky hat, Sammy staring at her toaster in disappointment, Trent with an ink set, Amy and her gift basket, a sad Ella, Alejandro and his chips, Jo and her soda, Duncan and his cologne, an empty handed Kitty and Noah who was staring at his gossip magazine with distaste. "I hope everyone got the treasure they were looking for." Chris began, dropping the pirate accent. " And more. But now," The camera cut to his close up. "it's time to do your duty and send one of you off the island for good. So cast your votes." He said, pointing at them before picking up the pirate accent once more. "and I'll see ye buccaneers back at the campfire after sundown! Arr har har."

/

(Confessional)

Noah: Sorry dude,but you're a threat.

Static

Crimson: Duncan

Static

Jo: Scrawny and Braids might be on my hit list, but I'm not turning down the chance to get a stronger competitor out of the game.

Static

Ella: You're not very nice, Duncan. (she gasps) was that too mean?

Static

Amber: This doesn't mean anything. Alejandro and I are just happening to vote out the same person.

Static

Alejandro: While I'd rather vote out Geoff I must admit Duncan is a bigger threat overall.

Static

Amy: I don't care who Jo told me to vote for, I vote for Samey. Immunity is cold comfort considering she stole Trent from me."

Static

The usual shot of the island at night cuts to a shot of Chris in front of the campers, Jo and Geoff are closest to the camera, with Trent, Kitty, and Alejandro in a row in front of them.

"And now the moment we've all been waiting for." Chris began. "The moment of truth. " The host pulled the plate of marshmallows from behind his back. "Marshmallow time! You know the routine." He said as the camera switched to a view in front of the campers. A focus is placed on Alejandro, Jo, Kitty, Trent and Amber. "Whoever doesn't get a marshmallow, it's curtains for you. "

He pointed to the campers, then close ups of nervous faces are shown. First Sammy, then Geoff, then Kitty, back to Chris narrowing his eyes, then Amber, then back to close up of the marshmallows as the host reached for the first one. More campers were shown a nervous Ella, angry Amy, an apathetic Noah, an equally apathetic Crimson, and a narrow eyed Duncan.

The camera cut back to the host as he listed off names quickly, throwing marshmallows to the respective campers as he did so. "Amber, Trent, Jo, Ella, Geoff, Kitty, Alejandro, Noah, Crimson, Amy, and Samey Marshmallows for the lot of you."

Duncan's eyes widened in shock, he looked at the host and his tray sure enough it was empty a glint of light beamed. "Sorry dude. You're out."

"But who would..." His eyes narrowed. "Noah."

"I did say I'd get you back." The cynic smirked.

"You did," Duncan growled. "You know I've beaten nerds for less." He threatened. A dramatic note peaked, then he smiled. "Well played."

Geoff walked over and gave Duncan a fist bump. "I'm gonna miss you dude."

"Me too." The delinquent admitted. Kitty ran up and hugged him.

"Don't forget us!" She exclaimed.

"How could I forget a fun girl like you Kit Kat." He smirked. She smiled back.

"Do you think we could get one more selfie?" She asked, the two boys nodded and Kitty stood between them and arm around Geoff as she took the picture.

Duncan sighed. "I'd better get going." The other two waved him off.

/

The scene cut to the interior of the girls cabin. Amber and Sammy are lying in their beds. Amber tosses the lip gloss she won to the blonde. "You want this?"

Sammy's eyes widened. "you're giving it to me?"

"I don't wear makeup." Amber shrugged.

"Thank you." Sammy said, holding the present to her.

"What are friends for?"Amber asked.

' "You'd consider me a friend?" Sammy said in shock.

"Yeah." the brunette said, rolling over to go to sleep.

Sammy smiled and tucked herself in. "This is the best day of my life."

The music turns ominous as the scene flash transitions to the other side of the cabin. Amy glares at the wall. "You'll get yours Samey. I swear."

Chapter Text

The recap begins with the usual shot of Chris on the dock. "Previously on Total Drama Island," The first clip shown is that of Chris removing the sheet from a pile of Chests, this is followed by him acting in his role as pirate, along with the canon blast that destroyed Duncan's trailer. " The campers searched for treasure and yours truly put in an impressive performance as a pirate, But this was no ordinary treasure hunt."

"Some campers put their lives on the line to snag their booty. " A montage of Alejandro jumping through the flaming ring, Crimson diving into shark infested waters, Trent reaching into the coils of a snake, and Jo balancing over a pit of crocodiles are shown. "While Duncan put his stomach on the line, doing something that would make most people hurl." A clip of the delinquent stepping into the toilet is shown.

"But in the end," Chris is shown gesturing to the treasure chests at the end of the challenge. "the campers who went the limit were rewarded with treasures that, in hindsight," Alejandro is shown getting his chips and soda, followed by a panning shot of each camper with their treasure. "probably weren't worth the well." Chris chuckled as one camper is shown happily removing her prize. Except for Amy, who managed to win the coveted invincibility prize and avoid getting voted off."

"Sadly this was cold comfort for her as Trent finally confessed to Samey, breaking Amy's heart in the process." The clip of Trent and Sammy kissing, followed by Amy crying and running off is shown. "Noah decided to pay Duncan back for past misdeeds by getting him voted out, in a move that was as strategic as it was vengeful." A clip of Noah talking to Amber and Alejandro is shown. "It was Duncan who walked the plank but not before a heartwarming goodbye from his best friends." The clip of Kitty taking a selfie with Geoff and Duncan is shown.

The recap ends as it begins, with Chris on the dock. "Who will be the next unlucky camper to walk The Dock of Shame? Who will lose their cool? Who will lose their lunch? Find out on the most shocking episode yet on Total. Drama. Island! "

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode begins with a distance shot of the island before cutting to the steps of the girl's cabin where Jo, Amy, Ella are sitting. "So We're voting out Al next." The jockette ordered.

"No! We're voting out Samey! After what she did she should have been voted out already!" Amy yelled.

Jo got in her face. "We're voting out Al because he is the biggest threat! This is way more important than your petty sibling swabble!"

Amy glared back. "It's not petty! She stole my man!"

Before Jo could say anything else Ella intervened. "Calm down! Aren't we all friends?"

Jo rolled her eyes. "Sure we're friends as long as someone remembers who's in charge here."

(Confessional)

Jo: Okay Tweedle Dee has gotten way out of line. As soon as she helps me vote out Al she's gone.

Static

Amy: I've only been going along with this because Jo is ruthless and sometimes we have the same mindset. But I'm sick of listening to her.

Static

Jo: I mean at this point I don't need her anymore. As if I needed her in the first place.

Static

Amy: Maybe it's time I got rid of her. Then Ella and I can have our own alliance. It'd be nice to make it to the final two. (Amy looks at her feet) Since she actually likes me…

Static

In the Boy's cabin Alejandro looks at the others in thought.

(Confessional)

Alejandro: I've been thinking, with Jo's alliance it would be dangerous to be without allies.

Static

The confessional cut to the eleven campers facing Chris on the dock as he began to explain the challenge. "Today's challenge is a good old fashioned game of hide-and-seek. You all get ten minutes to hide before Chef Hatchet comes looking for you." Chris' devious grin fades into an image of Chef in military uniform. "With his military background and advanced degree in man-hunting," The screen splits diagonally to show Chef in a cap and gown, receiving his diploma. Then the image fades to the present. "he's uniquely qualified to make this game excruciatingly hard."

The mane pulled out a water gun and began to pump it. "Seriously a water gun?" Jo scoffed, then she noticed the red targeting beam pointing straight to her forehead.

"The lifeguard chair is home base." Chris explained as the camera panned to the seat in question. "When he finds you, Chef will try to spray you. If you escape his blast," The host walked over to the chair and pat one of the legs. "you can try to run to home if he catches you on your way, he'll douse you." The cook leveled his water gun at an unimpressed Jo. "Please I can handle a little water."

"Why don't you demonstrate, Chef?" Chris asked. The hulking man pumped the water gun a few more times before turning at the last second and spraying Chris with a jet of water strong enough to push him several feet away from the dock. "Not on me, dude!"

"So how do we win?" Noah asked.

"You've got three options. One, don't get discovered in your hiding place. Two," The lifeguard chair is shown. "run to home base before Chef blasts you. Three," Chef is shown smiling and nodded along with this one. " Once you've been caught, help Chef find other campers. Do any of those, and you win invincibility. All clear?"

"Uh?" Sammy asked, raising her hand. "You get ten minutes to hide. Go!" The rest of the campers ran off. Sammy sighed and walked away.

/

The call of some unknown bird sounds through the air as Chris walks to the cabins. The camera cut inside to show a lump under the rug. Chris lifted the edge to show the lump was Sammy. "You're gonna need to do better than that."

"W-well it was better than my first thought. You come up with a better hiding place." The sweet twin defended.

Chris straightened up and quirked a brow. "Oh Chef Hatchet." He called mischievously. Not more than a second later the seeker kicked down the door, gun at the ready. Sammy screamed and jumped out the window to run off.

/

Amber is shown in her bathing suit, she snuck onto the beach just below the dock, she dipped her bare feet into the water.

(confessional)

Amber: I'm prepared to swim to the lifeguard chair if need be.

Static

/

The door of the bathrooms closed and moments later Chris walked into view. The scene cut inside to show Ella running into a stall, shutting the door, and stepping onto the toilet. Luckily the girl was short enough you couldn't see her.

"Knock Knock." Chris said, leaning against the next stall over, and rapping at the door.

"Oh I love a good joke! Who is there?" The princess wannabe asked.

"The entire viewing world." Chris answered.

"The entire viewing world who?" Ella responded.

"You're gonna have to do a lot better than that if you want to avoid capture." Chris smirked.

"I don't understand the punchline."

"It's not a joke. You need a better hiding place." Chris told her.

The Princess wannabe left the stall. "Thank you for informing me Chris. That was most generous of you!" With that she ran out the door.

Chris addressed the audience. "My guess? She's a goner."

/

The footage skipped to later in the challenge. The sun is in the sky signaling midday. The camera panned down to show Kitty tiptoeing towards the entrance of a cave. She glanced around nervously before a pair of brown arms pulled her into it.

She shrieked loudly, then a brown finger shushed her. The camera zoomed out to show Alejandro as the one to pull her into the cave. Noah, Geoff, and Crimson were also gathered inside the cave, which Kitty grinned widely at. "This is an awesome hiding spot!"

"Ladies and Gentleman, I assume you all know of Jo's alliance. It behooves us to join forces and take them out sooner rather than later." Alejandro addressed them.

"Please it's not like they're a threat. Jo's alliance is ready to fall apart at the seams." Noah scoffed.

"True, but it does not hurt to err on the side of caution. After all we don't know how much longer it'll be before that happens." Alejandro pointed out.

"It'll be soon. Remember last night?" Crimson asked.

/

The footage flashed back to the girl's cabin the previous evening. Amy is loudly complaining. "Samey's gonna get hers! No one breaks my heart like that!"

Jo groaned. "This again? Look Tweedle Dee it's the middle of the night. I need my sleep!"

"So what?! Samey deserves to hear all the pain she's caused me!" The older twin yelled.

"Get over yourself! The rest of us are sick of hearing about it!" Jo yelled back.

"Girls can't we just-" Ella tried to intervene.

"Stay out of this!" Jo ordered.

"You can't talk to her like that!" Amy shrieked, launching herself at the jockette. Kitty and Crimson give each other anxious looks, then the camera cuts outside to Noah holding a book. He rolled his eyes and walked off.

/

"Besides, Crimson's not really a group person." Noah added.

"Why should that matter to you?" Kitty smirked.

Noah's widened. "Well, We're friends! That's good enough right?"

Kitty chuckled. "Uh huh friends."

"Surely you can see the benefits?" Alejandro prompted.

"People only group up in fear of being left out." Crimson deadpanned.

"Yes, but working in a group increases your chances of winning." The Spainard smirked.

The two looked at each other skeptically. "Well I'm game!" Geoff agreed. "As long as Kitty is."

"Of course I am! The allies against elimination unite!" Kitty cheered, putting her hand out. Geoff put his hand on top and Alejandro followed suit.

"Are you joining us?" He asked, as he glanced back at the other two.

Crimson looked at Noah. "Well what do you think?"

Noah frowned. "Before we agree to anything, I have to know, why the two of us? I get you have your problems with Amber, but wouldn't Trent and Sammy be a better fit?"

Alejando smirked. "Simple,Noah you're an opportunist. If you're not on my side you might as well be against me. Besides there's no way those two would team up with Jo's alliance considering who's in it."

Noah grit his teeth. "Fine." Crimson put her hand in and Noah reluctantly put his on top.

"Fantastico! Now since all of us hiding in the same place would get us all caught, one of you may hide here." Alejandro offered.

Geoff turned to Kitty. "You should take it!"

"I'd love to! If everyone agrees." No one showed any objections. "Then I guess I'm hiding here!"

(Confessional)

Noah: I don't trust Al. Of course I got the underlying threat. If you're not with me you're against me, and I don't feel like trying to topple Al off his throne of lies. (Smirked) Yet.

Static

Dramatic music plays as we switch to Jo. The jockette looks left and right before sliding into some nearby bushes.

/

A flash transition takes us to the boathouse interior. Noah smirked and hid himself in an empty barrel.

/

A squirrel hopped into a clearing pausing at the base of a large coniferous. A pinecone fell out of the tree onto the squirrel's head, causing the animal to shake it's fist. The camera panned to the top of the tree where Geoff is holding on for dear life. His weight causing the tree to shake.

/

Chef is shown walking through the forest, weapon at the ready. Crimson stepped out from behind a rock. The walked forward a bit, then Chef saw her out of the corner of his eye. He turned but Crimson is gone. The cook shakes his head and begins to continue his hunt. Crimson creepily rises out of a nearby bush and walks off.

'/

Alejandro walked around in the open but smirked as he glimpsed the mess hall. He hopped up and grabbed the lip of the roof. On the other side Trent was doing the same thing. Amy entered the building from the ground unaware of Alejandro walking across the roof above her.

Ella was wandering around when she spotted the mess hall. She beamed and entered it as well.

/

Next camper shown is Sammy who is at the campfire pit, still looking for a hiding place. Nearby a set of lights lay untangled. The nervous girl passed them, unbeknownst to her the cord tangled around her foot.

/

The viewpoint moved to inside the mess hall facing the door. Ella cautiously tiptoed in. The camera panned over the kitchen before resting on the table. The viewpoint shifted yet again to under the table where Amy is hiding. "Amy?" the blonde whipped her head around to see Ella kneeling next to the table. "Wow we had the same idea! What a wonderful coincidence!"

"Ella what are you doing here? You're gonna get us both caught." Amy whispered.

"I'm sorry, I could just leave." Ella offered.

Amy looked at her feet. "That won't be necessary. Just hide somewhere else in the kitchen.

/

Back at the campfire pit, the lights were becoming pinned from their poles as Sammy continued forward, still unaware of her new leg ornament. She passed Chris who laughed and turned to address the audience again. "I love this show."

/

"Where?" Ella asked.

"I don't know, the fridge maybe? Just hurry before Chef looks here." As though on cue the light turned on. A dramatic sting accompanies the revelation of Chef at the lights. He began to chuckle as the camera zoomed in on Chef's gap toothed grin.

"This is my kitchen! Also known as forbidden territory!" Chef told them.

"Take me!" Ella screamed leaping at Chef. "Amy run!"

The twin looked torn for the second then ran past Chef. Grabbing Ella's hand they took off running together. "Amy you should have left!"

"Just shut up and be grateful!" The twin ordered, as they ran down the steps, Chef kicked down the door and quickly spotted his prey, the camera cut to the two girls continuing to run, slid on screen after them. The viewpoint switched to a first person view of the dock, with an emphasis placed on the lifeguard chair.

The camera focuses on a close up of the two girls running then it panned down to below the dock where Amber tensed up, ready to swim if she had to. There's a quick cut to the girls running again followed by a shot of Chef taking aim and pumping the water gun. The scene cuts back to the girl's running then a blast of water hits them. Chef walked over and put a foot on top, smirking smugly.

/

A distance shot of the camp is shown, with the sun in the middle of it's downward transition. The scene moved to the communal bathrooms. Amy and Ella leaned up against the outside. Chef entered, weapon at the ready. He looked back and forth his unibrow shifting as he did so. He began to check each bathroom stall methodically.

The sound of a toilet flushing went off and the cook swiftly moved to that stall and kicked the door open. No one was there. Footsteps can be heard as we get a close up of some black boots. Chef turned towards the showers, the shadow of a female camper can be seen on the curtain. The cook smirked and opened the curtain. Once again no one there.

Puzzled, he scratched his chin, when he heard footsteps again. He turned and there was Crimson running out the door. Chef's eyes narrowed. The scene cut outside as Crimson ran past a startled Ella and Amy. Chef kicked down the door.

Crimson is shown running,Chef is in hot pursuit behind her. Amy and Ella follow. The viewpoint shifts back to the first person shot of the dock from earlier. Crimsons is shown running again, followed by the previous shot with a zoom in on the lifeguard chair.

A close up of Chef running weapon in hand quick cuts to the two running down the dock. Chef begins to aim. Crimson is nearly at the lifeguard chair when she slips on the puddle of water from Chef's earlier hunt. The goth slid the rest of the way off the dock and sank into the water.

She glazed to see Amber on the beach. The bookworm put a finger to her mouth. Crimson shrugged. Amber smiled.

/

The scene cut to the campfire pit, following the trail of string lights to a nearby rock. Sammy nervously peered over it. She glanced around nervously, jumping as she heard a chittering behind her. She turned and the camera focused on a family of squirrels.

"Oh it's just a bunch of squirrels." She sighed relieved. She kept moving forward, the camera followed the string of lights to the last pole which fell over, knocking into the barrel Chris used as a makeshift podium. The barrel rolled off the small cliff landing behind the squirrels.

The squirrels gave Sammy an enraged look and jumped her. "Ahh! Get them off, get them off!"

"My pleasure." A foreboding voice said. Sammy looked at Chef in horror as he sprayed her in the face.

/

Back at the Mess Hall a distance shot showed Alejandro and Trent on either side of the roof. A pink bird landed on the peak and began to sing. Trent smiled. "Rock on little bird dude." He said inching closer to hear the song better.

On the other side Alejandro heard this comment and stared at the bird in confusion. "If I'm not mistaken that is not one of the varieties of bird that can talk." Curious he started up the roof.

They reached the peak at the same time gasping as they saw each other. "Al? What are you doing here?"

Alejandro winced at the nickname. "It seems the two of us coincidently chose the same hiding place." He explained, getting to his feet, Trent followed suit. Neither noticed the roof shaking.

"Huh, so does one of us need to leave or what?" The guitarist asked, scratching the back of his head.

"That won't be necessary-" Alejandro began the final word dragged out a bit longer as the rood gave in. causing the Spainard to fall through it.

"Al? Are you okay-" Trent asked, the roof underneath him collapsed as well. The camera panned down the mess hall door. The two boys exited both looking worse for wear.

The backside of a familiar blonde cheerleader walked on screen. "Well, well, well, look what we have here Ella."

The princess wannabe joined her onscreen. "Oh hello Alejandro, Trent." She greeted.

"We're taking them in' Amy explained.

"Why?" Ella asked.

"So we get immunity, duh." The twin smirked.

"Well Chris did say it was part of the rules," Ella pondered. "Okay!"

"You take Alejandro. Mr. Heartbreak is mine." Amy said glaring at Trent. The guitarist glared back.

/

The sun is high in the sky as Chef leads Sammy and Crimson to the Boathouse. The Cook kicked the door down and began to scan the surroundings. His eyes narrowed on the barrel. He stomped his foot down and the barrel jumped, a high pitched shriek came from inside.

Chef opened the barrel and tapped Noah with a grin. Amy and Ella approach him with Alejandro and Trent trailing behind. "Ella and I found these two losers in the cafeteria. So we get invincibility." She smirked at Noah. "Only a twig like you would fit in there."

"Jealous?" Noah snarked.

Amy looked taken aback. "No! I'm a cheerleader, my weight is perfect!"

/

Noah joined the losers as Chef kicked a tree, then put a hand to his ear. A person can be heard falling, the camera focused on the campers reactions as they hit every branch on the way down. Everyone winced, sans Crimson. Finally Geoff hit the ground in front of Chef, pain clear on his face. "You're done son." The seeker said. He then walked to a nearby bush and reached in. He pulled up a struggling Jo.

"Alright already! Put me down!" The jockette ordered.

/

Dramatic music played as Chef stuck a finger in his mouth, then held it up in the air. He sniffed and then licked the ground, before picking up a long blue hair and grinning eagerly.

"I wonder where Kitty went." Trent asked aloud.

"Why would I know where she is?" Geoff asked. "It's not like we joined some Kitty's been hiding the cave we met up at."

Trent blinked. "Okay maybe we did join an alliance but Kitty's not in a cave." Geoff continued. Trent raised an eyebrow. "Okay! We joined an alliance and Kitty's hiding in a cave. Happy now!"

"Uh, dude I said nothing." Trent shrugged.

"Aw dang it, and here I thought you wouldn't find me." Kitty pouted. The scene cut nearby where Chef was holding Kitty by her shirt collar. Followed by the rest of the losers.

"It's okay babe you were still the last one found." Geoff told her.

"Actually we seem to be missing Amber." Alejandro pointed out.

"Amber? But I searched everywhere!" Chef said, a bewildered look on his his eyes narrowed. "Except under the dock!"

/

The camera followed Chef as he and the rest of the teen ran through the began pumping his weapon and the view shifted to the groups feet as the ground below was exchanged for the wood of the dock. The focus shifted to Chef's determined face as it melted into shock. He came to a halt as the scene cut to Amber sitting on the lifeguard chair.

"The thing about having a home base is: What's to stop me from hiding so close I'm guaranteed to reach it before you?" Amber smirked.

Many campers cheered as they ran across the dock to meet her. Chef gave her a respectful nod. There is a quick cut to several campers giving Amber high fives then the scene shifts to Chris' close up. "All righty, campers. Game's over. Time to pick the loser and send them home."

/

The scene cut to a shot of Jo waiting at the campfire. Trent walked in and sat next to her. "Okay, I'm against this but I'll hear you out. What did you want to ask?"

"Al is a pretty big threat, we need to vote him off." Jo began.

"Don't you have your own alliance for that?" Trent asked quirking an eyebrow.

"Even I know Al's probably got more than a few people voting with him. Those two won't cut it." Jo explained.

Trent glared. "And why should I vote with you? You've done nothing but enable Amy since she got here!"

"I've been telling her to lay off your lame girlfriend! She does what she wants!" Jo said, jumping to her feet.

"She would have never gotten as far without your help!" The guitarist snapped, jumping to his feet as well and looking Jo in the eye.

A spark took Jo's eye. "What if I were to tell you Tweedle Dee's outlived her usefulness?"

Trent paused. "I'm listening."

"It's simple, you vote for Al tonight and I'll vote her out next challenge." Jo proposed.

The guitarist looked hesitant. "How do I know you'll do what you say?"

Jo slung her arm over Trent's shoulder. "She's getting to be more trouble than she's worth. Besides, it's probably your best shot at getting her out."

Trent sighed. "Okay, but if you betray me I'll make sure you're voted out next."

The two shook on it and the camera panned left. Amy narrowed her eyes.

(Confessional)

Amy: So that's her game huh? Well I'm gonna vote for her tonight!

Static

/

A view from above the island is shown as clouds pass. The scene cuts to the dock where Alejandro's alliance gathered. "With Amy and Ella having been given immunity our choice of vote is obvious." The Spainard said.

"We can take out the kingpin of the alliance right away." Noah added.

"I'd rather vote out Amy." Kitty sighed.

"Why don't we vote her out anyway?" Geoff asked.

"Are you so dense you can't retain information for more than a few seconds? She's got immunity!" Noah complained.

"Now amigo we're allies, surely you can be less aggressive." Alejandro said.

"Don't patronize me. Besides after we get rid of Jo there's no reason for this alliance to exist." Noah shrugged.

"But I like the alliance." Geoff told him.

"Noah, it would still benefit us to remain together." Alejandro chastised. "So are we all in agreement that Jo goes?" He put his hand out, Kitty added hers, followed closely by Geoff, Noah sighed and added his,then Crimson completed it. "Here's to the alliance."

/

The ceremony began, cutting from the shot of the island to a close up of the campfire, Sammy's legs are in the shot. The camera zoomed out to show only Jo and Alejandro alongside her, with the rest of the campers already standing next to Chris.

"There are only two marshmallows left on this plate." He explained said marshmallows already in view of the camera. "Samey you're safe." He said. The twin beamed and joined the others. "The two of you racked up a lot of votes." He told Alejandro and Jo. "One of you is going home tonight. And cannot return. Ever. "

The two rivals stared each other in the eye as the music ramped up. "The final marshmallow of the night goes to… Alejandro!" Chris announced throwing the treat to him.

Alejandro gave Jo a self satisfied smirk and she stared in shock. That shock quickly became anger. "What! I deserve to win this!" She looked over the others, spotting Amy's smirk. "You backstabbing traitor!" She yelled, jumping towards her. Chef grabbed her by the arm.

"Please like you wouldn't do the same." Amy scoffed.

The scene cut to everyone watching on as Chef dragged Jo across the dock. "This isn't the end Tweedle Dee! When you're eliminated I will hunt you down!"

Ella waved. "Bye Jo I'll miss you!"

"I don't care!" The jockette yelled back.

/

The camera panned down from a shot of the moon to the girl's cabin. Noah walked to the door, dropped something, and knocked before running away. Crimson opened the door and picked up the object. The moonlight revealed it to be a book: eight tales of terror by Edgar Allan Poe. Crimson smiled and held it to her.

Chapter Text

The recap begins with the standard shot of Chris on the dock. "Last time on Total Drama Island… " The campers are shown gathered on the dock for the previous challenge. "In a challenge of hide-and-seek, " The clip of the campers running off to hide with Sammy leaving last is shown. "campers had to avoid capture by Chef It, or join his guerrilla tactics to tag fellow campers. " Chef is shown smiling and nodding at the camera, water gun in hand, then kicking a door down. "Some," Sammy is shown hiding under the rug in the girls cabin. "had weak hiding spots while others won invincibility." Amber is shown sitting on the lifeguard chair.

"Meanwhile," Alejandro is shown talking to Noah, then the cynic is shown gritting his teeth. "with some subtle wordplay, Alejandro convinced Noah to agree to an alliance." Jo is shown talking to Trent followed by Amy's confessional. "Fed up with each other, Amy and Jo planned to stab each other in the back. Luckily Amy had immunity and it was goodbye Jo." Amy smirking at Jo and the jockette being carried off is shown.

"Will Amy succeed at voting out Samey?" The mean twin is shown again. "How long until Noah betrays the alliance?" Noah is shown reluctantly putting his hand in with the others on the dock. "Will I be stuck hosting reality TV for the rest of my life? Find out on this episode of Total. Drama. Island!

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode proper begins with a shot of an orange frisbee flying through the air. Geoff caught it as Kitty stood by then threw it across the beach where it was headed to Alejandro but Amber leapt up to intercept as Trent and Sammy looked on.

There is a flash cut to Amy and Ella on the dock. A fly is buzzing around and the princess wannabe holds out her finger for the insect to land on. It does so. Ella sighs. "I do miss Jo, but if she was planning to vote you out I understand why you had to do it."

Amy rolled her eyes and sat up. She draped an arm over the smaller girl. "We're better off without her anyway. You and me we're gonna make it to the end." The mean twin vowed. Ella smiled at her.

(Confessional)

Amy: With Ella by my side Samey's sure to go down!

Static

Noah: I'm going to go insane. Ever since we formed the 'alliance' (He makes finger quotes around the word.) Geoff's been acting like we're friends or something. He keeps inviting me to hang out, telling me about his love life, and generally annoying me. While we're on the subject, his idiosyncratic use of the word man is grating.

Static

The confession cuts to outside the outhouse. Noah exits rubbing his temples. A smile crosses his face as he looks off screen. "Finally someone I actually want to be around." The point of view shifts to the side to show Crimson as the one he's talking to.

"You're tense, and not in the good way." The goth told him. Noah sighed having picked up on the unasked question.

"How would you hold up if Geoff was trying to get buddy buddy with you?" He asked her , arching a brow.

Crimson's grimace became more pronounced. "Sounds torturous."

"It is." Noah said shortly. There was silence for a moment.

"We could just leave the alliance." Crimson suggested.

The cynic shook his head. "With Jo gone Alejandro is the single most dangerous person in the game. Even if we withdraw, his alliance still holds three members. Nearly one third of those remaining. If we break it off we'll be targets since we know about the alliance. As loathe as I am to admit it, it's best we bide our time."

Crimson nodded, then placed a hand on his shoulder. "Whatever you decide I'll be there." Noah seemed to be struggling with whether or not to say something but the squeal of a speaker decided for him.

"Morning, campers! Your next challenge awaits you at the Arts and Crafts Center!"

/

A flash transition takes us to a small shed. Chris ATV is parked outside it as the host walked across the shot. "Welcome to the Arts and Crafts Center." The host told the campers all of whom are seated at a nearby picnic table.

"More like the Arts and Crap Center." Noah snarked.

"Yeah. It used to be an outhouse, but now it's where Chef parks his road hog." The point of view shifted to an interior shot of the shed door. Chris kicked it down and the guys, sans Noah, and Kitty gasped at what was inside.

A red and chrome motorbike with flames is shown in the warehouse sparkly and clean despite it's dusty surroundings. A few rock chords played under it. "Which brings us to your challenge." Chris segwayed as the camera moved back outside and panned across the campers. "Building your own wheels!" He announced miming the action of revving a motor.

"Nice. What kind?" Trent asked.

"You'll be sticking to pedal power today. You'll find all the parts you need in our bike depot." He motioned to a pile of bike parts. "Once you've collected the basics, you can trick 'em out any way you want using props from the Arts and Crafts Center." He put on a military helmet and returned to seat himself on his ATV.

"Best design wins!" Chris announced as he rode past the teens. He paused. "And… to prove I'm a nice guy," He took out a large book with mold covering each corner and threw it at them before resuming his drive off. "I'll even throw in a bike manual."

Sammy caught it. "Oh good I could use the-" She noticed the mold, let out a shriek and threw the book from her. Crimson caught it and shrugged.

(Confessional)

Sammy: Okay, I know some things about building. Amy made me do all her woodshop projects. I'm sure that translates to building a bike somehow. Besides I've got Trent to help me. Maybe I could even help him?"

Static

Kitty joined Sammy at the bike depot, Geoff close by. They both began fishing through the parts. "I'm gonna make the raddest bike ever!" The party dude told her.

"Me too! I can finally try out some tricks!" Kitty agreed. "My sister never let me do anything fun with my bikes. 'It's too dangerous! You need to be careful! Are your tires full?'" The selfie lover mocked with a chuckle.

"Man your sister sounds like a drag." Geoff told her.

:Yeah, but she just wants me to be safe." KItty said with a fond grin. "I don't know what I'd do without her."

Sammy sighed. "It must be nice."

"As scintillating as this conversation is," A droll voice intervened. "We would like to acquire our bike parts and begin work." Geoff and Kitty turned, the camera moved to show Noah and Crimson waiting.

"Sure thing dude! You want any help?" Geoff offered.

"No." The Cynic deadpanned.

(Confessional)

Geoff: Wish I could get Noah to chill out. Little dude's in a bad mood constantly.

Static

Ella was shown picking out some parts for her bike. Alejandro approached her. "Might I say you have great taste? Your bike will be lovely."

"O-oh." Ella stammered a blush on her face. "It's uh, going to be made in remembrance of Dawn." She sighed. "I miss her."

Alejandro draped an arm over the princess wannabe's shoulder. "I understand, her elimination was tragic. I would have wished for a better end." He told her his voice dripping with sincerity. "I'm sure she's proud of how far you've gotten."

"You really think so?" Ella asked.

"I do. Would you like some assistance with your bike?" The Spainard asked.

The princess wannabe opened her mouth but before she could say anything. A voice interrupted. "Ella what are you doing?" Amy asked.

"Oh, Alejandro was just offering to help with my bike." The princess wannabe told her.

Amy narrowed her eyes. "Oh really? That's awfully generous of you." She told him her voice was suspicious.

"I merely wished to offer my services. Surely there is nothing wrong with that?" Alejandro said, a pleading look in his eyes.

Amy stared a moment, then she shook herself out of her daze. "Whatever. We don't need your help. Go work on your own bike. Come on Ella!" The mean twin ordered. Ella ran after her happily.

(Confessional)

Amy: If Alejandro thinks he's getting his hands on my friend he has another thing coming. I use the fake indignation trick all the time. It keeps Samey in line. So I know when someone else is using it.

Static

/

The scene cut to Noah, Crimson, Kitty, and Geoff all working on their bikes. The first two are a distance away from the latter two. Noah is pounding out the dents in the blue handlebars he found. Geoff is trying to inflate a tire. Crimson is painting the frame of her bike black, and Kitty is looking between a set of red and blue streamers and a bell. She shrugged and carried them both to her bike.

/

Another cut took the scene over to Amber, Trent, and Sammy. The twin is hard at work on her bike, a red frame has already been attached to some wooden handlebars. She tighten the nut on her wheel. Trent smiled at her. "Wow your bike is really coming along huh?"

Sammy nodded not looking away from her bike. "I have to win this Trent. I know Amy's gonna get me voted out."

Trent shook his head. "Come on, who would listen to Amy? Right Amber?"

The bookworm barely glanced up from where she was working on her bike. It was shaping up to be one of those old timey bikes with the large wheel in front and a far smaller one in the back. "Of course not."

Trent frowned. "What's up with you?"

Amber shook her head. "I have to make my bike the best it can be. There's a certain someone, I want to wipe the floor with."

"Well try to have fun if you can." Trent told her. Rather than respond Amber walked to the shed and removed a large basket from it. She turned to go back, scowling as she did so.

"What do you want?" She huffed, crossing her arms.

"You wound me chica."Alejandro responded with a hand over his heart. "I merely wished to see how you're doing."

"I'm fine." Amber replied. "In fact my bike is so good it'll blow yours out of the water." She bluffed.

"Care to make a friendly wager?" The Spainard asked.

"What kind of wager?" The bookworm asked nervously.

"Whoever loses has to vote for someone of the winners choice." Alejandro smirked.

"Even themselves?" Amber asked.

"If that is what you wish." Alejandro told her.

"Fine, but if either of us is caught cheating they forfeit." The bookworm added.

"Deal." They shook on it.

(Confessional)

Alejandro: Perhaps making such a wager is risky, but I'm confident in my ability. Throwing Amber off her game is more than worth any risk involved.

Static

/

Ella and Amy are working on their bikes. Amy's is in surprisingly good condition. It already has a glittery red frame. Ella's is in slightly less good condition, so far it was completely made of wood with green vine like streamers wrapped around it. She turned to Amy. "Why were you so upset at Alejandro earlier?"

The mean twin gave her a look. "Because he's bad news. I'm trying to protect you." Ella looked uncertain. "Ella didn't you tell me Dawn's elimination was suspicious?"

Ella nodded. "Duncan, Kitty, and Geoff all said they didn't vote for her."

"And wasn't Dawn trying to warn you about someone?" Amy prompted.

"Yes." Ella stood there with a confused look on her face.

Amy sighed and rolled her eyes. "Ella if those three didn't vote for Dawn and she got voted out anyway, then someone wanted her out of the picture."

Ella gasped. "You mean, Xena or Alejandro did something?"

Amy nodded. "If you want my opinion I think it's Alejandro. So be careful around him."

(Confessional)

Ella: It's hard for me to imagine someone was princely as Alejandro is evil, but Dawn was trying to warn me about something…

Static

Amy: Ella is the only person I know likes me. Alejandro will not take that away from me.

Static

/

Yet another cut put the focus on Crimson who is nearly finished painting her bike black. She glanced at Noah who is nearly finished with his bike. She looked from him to Geoff and her frown deepened.

"Hey you guys remember your first bike ride? I flew so far over my handlebars that I skid for a mile." He chuckled. "Skin was hanging off me in chunks."

Kitty smirked. "Sounds like a wicked wipeout. The first time I rode a bike my sister was worried, so she insisted she be there. I got impatient and started without her. The bike hit a rock and spun out of control, She was so mad!"

Geoff turned to Noah who was decidedly not looking at him. "What about you man?"

Noah sighed. "So I had just finished moderating the Kosmic Kaos website-"

"Dude when did you learn to ride a bike?" Geoff asked.

"I was six-" He frowned as Geoff interrupted again.

"They let a six year old be a site moderator?" He asked.

"They didn't let me I hacked in-" The cynic glared as he was cut off once more.

"You can hack?!" Geoff exclaimed.

"Do you want to hear about my first bike ride or sideline me with tangents?" Noah irrately asked.

"Sorry dude. Go ahead."

"Anyway, my parents insisted I go outside and try out the new bike they'd got me, that I didn;t ask for mind you, so I went out rode around for about a minute and hid in the yard to read." Noah explained.

"So you ditched your bike ride?" Kitty asked.

"Essentially yes." Noah replied shortly before returning to his bike, he glanced at Crimson and mimed hanging himself. The goth smirked.

The loudspeaker squealed as it turned on. "Campers! Time to judge your bikes! Put your pedal to the metal and meet me at the Crafts Center!"

/

"Well, campers," Chris began now in person. " We gave you the parts. Let's see what you came up with. " He approached Alejandro. His bike was streamlined for speed, it had been paint a lovely shade of maroon, and had a bull shaped head ornament. "Excellent aerodynamics, strong on speed and style."

"You are too kind Chris." Alejandro said with a smug smirk.

Noah rolled his eyes. "Please that thing is so lightweight a breeze could make it fall over. Staying power is what you want." Noah's bike looked like it could have come from a store, save for the handle bars being blue and rest red. It was clearly and all terrain bike, as the wheels were thick and had good traction.

"Boring but practical. Suits you." Chris told him.

The scene flashed to a red bike with wooden handle bars, it was festooned with ribbons and had a small basket in front. "Samey not bad."

"Thanks." The nice twin beamed.

The host moved onto the next camper. Crimson had built a bike with a low back wheel and a lighter front wheel, large batlike wings were attached to the bike. The entire things was painted black. "Spooky wheels Crimson." The goth nodded.

Another flash showed Chris examining Kitty's bike. It was made of wood, but it had blue and red streamers sticking out of the handle bars, and a bike bell. She grinned. "Ring the bell." Chris did so. "I love it so much!" The selfie lover beamed.

"It's decorative enough. Nice." The host told her.

He moved onto Geoff. His bike was low the handlebars were silver with pink tips and the front frame matched this. The rest of the bike was wood with and arch over the back wheel. "Now this is a hot rod. Nice!"

"Thanks man." Geoff told him.

Another flash showed a bike with a camo green paint job, a large bike horn was attached to the front. The camera zoomed out to show Trent and Chris. The host honked the horn and cringed. "Dude it would have been way better without the horn." The guitarist sighed.

Chris moved onto Amber. Her bike had a gigantic spoked wheel in front. A sloping piece of wood leads to a much smaller wheel. The handlebars were directly about the front wheel and the pedals came out from the center of the same wheel. "Amber is this even a bike?"

"Of course it is! It's a vintage bike. I always thought they looked cooler than modern bikes." The bookworm explained. Chris rolled his eyes.

The final flash showed Amy's bike. It was bright red and glittery, with high handlebars that almost looked like devil horns. "This is my speed demon."

"Fitting name." Chris told her. He finally moved onto Ella. Her bike was completely wood with a vine like streamer wrapped around the frame. A small wood bunny made for a hood ornament. "A little natural for a bike." Chris noted.

"I dedicate this bike to Dawn. I hope you and bunny are watching this, wherever you are." Ella said.

:"Okay, well I think that's everyone. "Chris announced. All ten bikes are shown as Chris explains the next part of the challenge. "This is where it gets good. We're gonna race these babies, hard!"

"Just as anticipated. Which is why I built my bike for speed." Alejandro smirked.

"Yeah, unfortunately, you won't be riding it, Alejandro." Chris smirked. "You'll be switching bikes." The camera panned over the shocked faces of Sammy, Amber, and Trent. "Yeah. Cruel twist, huh? All righty then. See you at the beach!"

The camera focused on a smirking Noah before fading to black.

/

The episode faded back into a shot of the cliff from the first challenge the camera zoomed into a beach shot as a bird called. All campers were lined up in front of Chris' red ATV. Chef stood by in front of the starting line reading a book and holding a small red flag.

"Okay," The host began. " here's how it works. Everyone picks a name out of the helmet " He held up a worn orange bike helmet."to see whose bike you're riding. " Alejandro's hand can be seen picking a paper out followed shortly by Noah's. "If your bike makes it across the finish line, then you get to ride it in the final round for invincibility."

The camera panned over the campers looking at their slips of paper. Noah is smirking widely. It stopped on Amy, Alejandro, and Ella. The charmer smirked. "It seems I've gotten your bike mi princesa. I hope to be worthy of its owner." Ella blushed and Amy scowled.

"Now before we start, are there any questions?" No one had any. "Okay then."

/

The camera panned over the campers on their new wheels. Crimson on Amber's oldsmobile, Sammy on Alejandro's bull, Amy on Kitty's streamer dream, Trent on Noah's reliable racer, Ella on Crimson's gothic horror, Kitty on Trent's cool camo, Geoff on Amy's speed demon, and Amber on Sammy's riveting ribbon bike.

"Okay, racers!" Chris began as the camper's steeled themselves. "On your marks," Amy narrowed her eyes. "get set… " Alejandro smirked while Amber put her foot on the pedal. "paramedics on standby… " He muttered with a glance over his shoulder. "and… tread!" He host threw down his arm and exciting music began as the campers raced past him. First Amy, Alejandro, Amber, Crimson, Sammy, Geoff, Trent, Ella, Kitty, and trailing at the back Noah, who didn't seem to be in any rush.

In front Alejandro and Amy vied for the lead with Amber and Crimson shortly behind.. The mean twin frowned and began ramming him. "How would your friend feel about you trying to take down her bike?" The spaniard asked.

"It's not the bike I have a problem with!" Amy snarled.

The mean twin's antics slowed the two down. Amber and Crimson raced past them. Further back Geoff raced past Sammy quickly the nice twin gained a determined look and began to redouble her efforts.

Ella is enjoying her ride unaware that the wings on Crimson's bike are making a huge sand cloud. Trent rides straight into it followed closely by Kitty. Blinded the two end up ramming into each other taking their bikes out of the race. Noah was finally catching up with the others when Geoff's bike fell apart. Noah fell to the ground and shrugged.

(Confessional)

Noah: I was going to 'accidently' crash his bike but this works.

Static

At the front Amber and Geoff are vying for the lead. The two cross the finish line, followed closely by Crimson and Sammy. Chef waved his flag was each passed. The camera panned back to show Amy still ramming Alejandro with her bike. She broke the wooden frame and the Spainard crashed. Amy herself ended up running into the wreckage. The two groaned as Ella rode past whistling. "Oh hello friends, I hope you're feeling well!" The princess wannabe called as she rode past the finish line. Chef waved his flag for a final time.

Chris rode up on his red ATV, a smile on his face. "Yes! We have five awesome wipe-outs by Trent, Kitty, Noah, Amy, and Alejandro!" The five crashed bikes are shown. "And we have five invincibility race winners!" Each bike is shown with its initial rider. "Samey's Ribbon Riveter, Amy's Speed Demon, Amber's Oldsmobile, Alejandro's Stylish Steer, and Crimson's Horrific Hotrod!" Chris turned to Amy. "Nice job taking out Alejandro. Too bad he still get to race." The mean twin pouted. "It's time to head over to the TDI Motocross!" He announced before driving off in his vehicle of choice.

Amy turned to her twin sister with a smirk. "See you on the track, Samey! Or maybe you shouldn't bother. We all know who's winning!" She turned and walked away. Sammy stared after her, a determined look in her eyes.

"Do we really?" She muttered.

/

The scene cut to show the five losers on a short ledge over the racetrack. They were all content. The camera panned over to show the five winners in front of the starting line. From left to right they were Crimson, Amy, Sammy, Amber, and Alejandro.

"Um, I like your bike Sammy, the ribbons are a bit much, but they suit you." Amber told her.

"Thanks your bike suits you too, I never would have thought of making an old bike." Sammy replied.

The focus shifted to Amber and Alejandro. "I do hope you're prepared to lose." The charmer taunted.

"You're gonna eat my dust." The bookworm taunted back.

Chris drove past the starting line on his ATV. "Campers, welcome to the" rocking music, reverb and a three way splitscreen with focus on his mouth accompanied the next lines. "Moto, Moto, Moto Cross, Cross, Cross Challenge, Challenge, Challenge!" The effects ended and the shot went back to Chris on his ATV. "Using your own bikes, you'll race the course, avoiding hidden pitfalls. " He called off screen. "Cue the death traps!"

A flash transition takes us to a sloping sand dune. The camera panned across it as multiple explosions went off. "There's dodging the land mines…" Chris began. The camera continued to pan left, showing a large oil spill up ahead. "Maneuvering through the oil slick…" Finally the last obstacle is shown, a large rectangular pool of water. A cooked ham is held over the pool by a rope. The rope is lowered into the water and when it is removed the ham is gone. "And finally, jumping the piranhas!"

The shocked campers are shown as Chris finishes his explanation. "h, and one more thing. First one to cross wins invincibility. Last one to cross gets voted off the island." He closed his eyes and crossed his arms like the announcement was no big deal. "No bonfire, do not pass go, do not collect a marshmallow."

Everyone gasped and Amber raised her hand. "If it's sudden death, does it matter if we cross first? What good is invincibility?"

"Amber, who's the host?" Chris asked.

"You are?" Amber responded.

"So who makes the rules?" He continued.

"You do? I'm just saying it doesn't make sense-" Amber tried to explain but she was cut off.

"That's right, I do make the rules. So shut up!" He snapped.

"You know correcting our host is not the best policy." Alejandro smirked

"I'm sorry, we can't all stand there and look pretty." The bookworm retorted.

The camera cut to Trent and the others on the hill. "You can do it Sammy!" He called. Sammy smiled, Amy glared.

(Confessional)

Sammy: I'm glad Trent's confident in me, but I have a feeling Amy won't make winning easy.

Static

Amy: I'll run her off the track if I have to.

Static

The confessionals cut to Chris as he began to announce the race. " Racers, take your positions!" The camera panned over the five racers reading themselves. "And… go!"

The music became fast and tense as the race began. The camera focused on ground level catching the wheels of Amber, Alejandro,Crimson, Amy, and Sammy. Everyone passed the hidden mines without trouble, though Sammy had a close encounter with a mine, Luckily it just sent her hurtling forward.

Amber and Alejandro are neck and neck as they race through the oil slick. Unfortunately neither bike had the best traction so it was a matter of time until one of them spun out of control. Amber's bike ran into Alejandro's leaving both bikes crashed on the ground.

A smirking Amy rode past.. The smirk did not last long as Sammy, propelled but her earlier explosion started to move in on her. The mean twin frowned, then a devious look came over her face. As they reached the piranha pool Amy began ramming Sammy's bike as she had with Alejandro earlier.

Sammy, seeing what she was doing managed to brake. This caused Amy to miss, landing herself in the piranha pool; Sammy smiled as her sister cried out, unfortunately her distraction allowed Crimson to bounce off of Amy's bike and cross the pool before her. The nice twin started up again and made it over the pool.

Crimson crossed the finish line, followed shortly by Sammy, Chef waved the flag for both. "And we have our winner!" Chris announced as he approached on his ATV. "Crimson!" Triumphant music accompanied a pan up Crimson's bike to her unmoved face. Up on the beach everyone cheered, even Noah.

Sammy ran over and beamed, "I did it! I beat Amy!"

"Yes but actually no." Chris interrupted. Sammy gave him a confused look. " Crimson is safe because her bike crossed the line first," He explained. "but since Amber, Alejandro, and Amy wiped out and didn't complete the race… " Each of the mention contestants are shown where they crashed. "they technically didn't cross the line at all. " Despite Chris' smile the unlying music indicated something wrong. "Which makes you the last one to cross the line. Which means it's Dock of Shame time, baby."

Sammy looked devastated. "You mean, I didn't beat Amy after all…"

"Of course not." A confident voice said, The camera panned over to Amy who had crossed the finish line. "I'm the superior twin. It was stupid of you to even think you could beat me." We see the other contestants make their way towards the twins. "The universe seems to agree with me. Even when you win you lose."

Sammy began to shake. "Leave her alone!" Trent told her.

"Oh sure Trent, protect her. After all it's not like she can stand up to me herself." Amy taunted.

"Sammy is stronger than anyone I know! She'd have to be to put up with you." The guitarist retorted.

"Whatever, your her boyfriend, you'd have to think that." The mean twin scoffed.

"I agree with him! Sammy is sweet, and kind!" Kitty added.

"She's fun to be around." Geoff continued.

"She's always willing to help out." Amber nodded.

"Whatever. I'm still better than her." Amy said looking Sammy in the eye.

"Then why are you the one soaked in water?" Noah deadpanned.

"That doesn't matter." the mean twin turned to Sammy. "Wow you're even more pathetic than I thought. All these people are standing up for you, because they pity you. They know you're worse than me. That you'll never be close to my level, and you're letting them." She let out a laugh.

"You're wrong!" Sammy yelled in her sister's face. "All my life you've told me that I was worth nothing, that I was just an inferior version of you! Well If that's the case then why do I have friends you don't?!"

Amy rubbed her arm nervously. "You don't don't know what you're talking about!"

"Yes I do! I might be insecure but at least I don't tear other people down! At least I'm nice! I've been letting you pick on me this entire time because deep down I believed you. I believed I deserved it. That i really was just a worse version of you ,but I came to this island to make friends, to find people who liked me flaws and all! You know what? I found those people, Trent, Amber, even Kitty and Geoff! I may not be smartest, or the prettiest, or the most athletic, but I'm just as good as you! Maybe even better!"

"Shut up! You're nothing! Less than nothing!" Amy yelled.

"There's still a part of me that believes that, but with everyone's support I can overcome it." Sammy told her. She smirked. "And by the way, that's not a beauty mark on your cheek, it's a mole!"

Amy gasped. She looked across the group around Sammy. Then she glanced at Ella, who looked at her in disappointment. Tears pricked at her eyes. "Whatever. I don't care."

(confessional)

Sammy: I can't believe I just did that! I feel amazing!

Static

The footage jumped to sunset on the dock of shame. A sad but reverent music accompanied her as she crossed the dock. Carrying her red duffle bag. She stopped as she reached Geoff. "Hey thanks for sticking up for me."

"No problem dude." The party boy replied.

Sammy moved on to Kitty. "I wish we'd gotten to spend more time together."

"Me too." The selfie lover said, offering a fist bump which Sammy accepted.

Sammy moved to Amber. "Thanks for letting me stay in the other side of the cabin."

"If I had a sister like yours, I wouldn't want to sleep in the same room either." The bookworm smiled.

Finally Sammy turned to Trent. She wrapped her arms around him in a tight hug. "Thank you for always being there for me. Without you I don't think I'd have ever stood up to Amy." She chuckled. "You know it's funny but even though I lost, I feel like I won."

"You've won so much more than a 100,000." Trent smiled. The two kissed.
"Take out Amy for me?" Sammy asked.

"I promise." Trent replied.

Sammy moved past Amy and as she did she pushed her twin into the water below. Everyone cheered, save Ella and Crimson. "Good-bye everyone! I hope you'll think of me." With that she stepped onto the boat of losers, where Chris was already waiting. The boat rode off into the sunset as seven of the remaining nine waved her off.

Chapter Text

The standard shot of the dock is shown. "Previously on Total Drama Island… " The clip of Geoff and Kitty searching through the bike depot is shown,then the two of them, along with Noah and Crimson working on their bikes, followed by the clip of all the campers at the start of the race. " Campers had to build their own hot wheels in a motocross challenge to race for invincibility." Amber, Geoff, and Crimson are shown crossing the finish line, followed by Kitty crashing and Amy causing her and Alejandro to crash. "There were big winners and big time losers! " Amber and Alejandro are shown crashing from the oil slick, followed by Amy trying to run down Sammy and ending up in the piranha pool instead. "And there was even some wicked, off-the-track motocross stunts! "

"But in the end, it was Crimson who crossed the finish line." The goth is shown winning the race, followed by Sammy. "And even though Sammy crossed, ultimately she lost to Amy." The mean twin is shown rubbing salt in the wound followed by Sammy's epic rant. "Amy tried to bring her down, but Sammy wasn't having any of it, and told Amy what she really thought of her." Sammy is shown departing from the island. "And it was goodbye Sammy and her new found confidence."

As usual the recap ended on the docks. "Who will be the next winner? Who will be the next loser? Who will renew my contract for next season? All these mind-robbing questions revealed in this episode of Total. Drama. Island!"

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

Spooky music and the sound of an old projector overlay a panning shot of a gray ground. A figure steps on screen only his feet are shown, The camera panned up and rotated to a front view of a hulking man with a hockey mask, a chainsaw, and a hook in front of a moonlit background. He revved the chainsaw and the scene cut to the nine campers watching an old horror movie.

From left to right was an annoyed Amy, terrified Ella, nonchalant Geoff, excited Kitty, bored Amber, equally bored Noah, enthralled Crimson, shocked Trent , and a calm Alejandro.

"Dude! Do you see the size of that chainsaw!" Geoff exclaimed.
"He's headed for the car! They're doomed!" Trent added.

"Are you seriously horny at a time like this?!" Noah asked incredulously.

They're gonna get hacked to pieces!" Kitty said pointing at the screen.

"And of course the car won't start. I haven't seen that before." Amber complained sarcastically.

Ella hid her head in Amy's shoulder. "Tell me when it's over!" A piercing scream rang out. The princess wannabe jumped into Amy's lap and wrapped her arms around her. The twin looked annoyed but squeezed her hand in comfort all the same.

"The psycho's gonna get them!" Kitty exclaimed.

"Wait for it." Crimson droned.

"In 3..2..1." Amber sighed counting down with her fingers. At that moment the sound of a chainsaw and the sound of gushing fluid played. Five campers stared in horror. Ella huddled further into Amy's chest. Noah and Amber looked bored, and Crimson had an eerie grin on her face.

"He's getting away!" Kitty exclaimed as the sounds of the movie came to a close. She grinned and huggs Geoff. "What an awesome ending!"

"Yeah, horror movies are fun." Geoff agreed.

"I-is it over?" Ella asked, peeking out from Amy's shoulder.

"Yes, the distasteful display of gore is over." Alejandro told her.

"I hate slashers. They're so predictable! If Chris had to show us a scary movie why couldn't it have been a psychological thriller? Not this paint by numbers drivel." Amber ranted.

"My sentiments exactly. Everyone in horror movies are idiots, and no one does anything original." Noah agreed.

"I happen to like slashers." Crimson deadpanned.

"Where this is where our opinions differ my dear." Noah told her.

"Oh come on! It was so awesome!" Kitty told them.

"You have to admit you had a little fun." Geoff added.

"Uh,no. Horror movies are nothing but mindless guts and gore, but I guess you would enjoy that." Amy scoffed.

"What's wrong with mindless guts and gore?" Geoff asked.

Amber opened her mouth, but before she could say anything Noah cut her off. "Don't waste your breath. He won't get it."

"More importantly, does anyone know what our challenge is?" Alejandro asked.

"Yeah. Where's the Chrismeister? " Geoff asked.

The group's attention was caught by the puttering of a boat engine. The scene cut to a pile of luggage, a black hand, revealed to be Chef's, gripped one of the suitcases. The hulking man threw the suitcase on to the boat of losers, which was already filled with other luggage.

"Chef what's going on?" Amber asked as Chef threw a crate onto the boat. Only a single bag remained.

Chef yelped, shot a terrified look at the bookworm and jumped onto the boat. Chris, who was already on board, gunned it. The ship sped away it's passengers looking terrified as they fled.

"Chris you forgot one!" Kitty called out as they and the others watched the boat drive away. She held up a green backpack with a rolled up piece of paper inside. It fell out and the selfie lover picked it up. It was a newspaper. "Escaped psycho killer on the loose. " She read as the camera shifted to an over the shoulder view, revealing the inside of the newspaper. Most notable was a picture of a large man in a hockey mask, with a hook and holding a chainsaw. "Be on the lookout for a man wearing a hockey mask" She continued as the view shifted again, this time to about half of the campers listening in fear. "with a hooked hand and carrying a chainsaw."

"Well we have our challenge." Noah noted.

"W-what do you mean?! Didn't you read the newspaper?" Ella stuttered.

"Please, it's so obvious. First a generic horror movie, then a hasty exit, then a newspaper that just happens to have a killer fitting said description on the loose? Yeah. clearly a set up." Amber scoffed.

"H-he looked scared." Ella stammered.

"Look Ella, Chris is just messing with us. I know a set up when I see one." Amy reassured her.

"But if it is just a stunt," Trent said as he went through Kitty's find. He pulled out a small purple bottle. "Would Chris leave behind his," the camera zoomed in on the bottle, revealing a picture of Chris on it. "Hair gel?" About half the group gasped, Amy, Amber, Noah, and Crimson remained calm.

"Dudes this has to be real!" Geoff cried.

"S-so C-chris really left us for d-dead, and n-now we're stuck here with a p-psycho killer with a c-chainsaw on the loose?" Ella stammered.

"No." Crimson deadpanned. "We're alone while that escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook is on the loose." She finished with an eerie grin.

"I-I don't know what I'm more s-scared of, the k-killer, or C-crimson." Ella told Amy.

"You must calm down mi princesa. Fear helps no one." Alejandro soothed her. Amy glared.

"I-I feel like we're being watched." Ella whimpered.

"It's a reality show. We're always being watched." Noah rolled his eyes.

/

A flash transition shows us Noah being watched on a screen. The camera pulled out to show Chris sitting in a chair watching four such screens. The first showed the dock of shame, the second Noah, the third the campfire pit, and the last the confessional. He chuckled and turned to face the camera. "Noah's right. And tonight, we're watching to see who can survive a real life scary movie, with special guest appearance by…" He deepened his voice and began to talk in an overly dramatic way. "the escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook!" At this be held up his hand with a hook.

/

"To be fair it doesn't matter if this is a challenge. We still need to treat this the way we would if it was real. Survive and you get immunity." Amber told them.

"Amber's right, a plan would be good." Noah agreed.

"You guys might need a plan, but I'm taking a shower." Amy decided.

"D-don't leave me!" Ella shrieked, grabbing her arm.

"Are you two crazy? If this is a challenge, and I have no doubt, then it's going to follow horror movie tropes. If it isn't, you're more likely to be targeted in a small group." Amber told them.

"Whatever, you do things your way and I'll do them mine. By the way Chris, this whole thing would work better if you'd rented a movie that takes place at a summer camp!" Amy called out.

A shot of Chris watching is shown. "I tried but they were all rented."

"If you guys wanna 'plan' or whatever go ahead, but I'm leaving." Amy scoffed. She walked off with Ella shortly behind.

"Well she's dead." Noah deadpanned. Crimson nodded.

"I say we head back to camp and plan. Who's with me?" Amber asked. Noah shrugged and everyone began to follow her off the dock, except Kitty and Geoff. The party dude tapped her on the shoulder. "Hey, I need to pee. You mind if-"

"No problem." The selfie lover agreed.

/

A shot of the full moon is shown as a wolf howls in the distance. A flash transition takes us to the communal bathrooms. Geoff exits apparently having already peed. The two start walking through the woods back to camp. "Hey, you ever get the feeling you're making a huge mistake?" Geoff asked, scratching his head.

"Like how?" Kitty asked.

"I dunno but somehow this feels wrong." The party dude said.

"We're just walking back to camp. Through the woods, at night." Kitty said. The two paused for a second. Then shrugged and continued. "It'll probably come to us later. I can almost hear my sister's voice yelling at me in my head, but she does that half the time anyway. It's probably nothing. "

/

The scene cut to a distance shot of the island. The camera zoomed in and cut to the campfire pit. Noah, Crimson, Trent and Alejandro sat on logs as Amber paced. "Okay I've seen slashers on several occasions, usually because someone assumes I'm into them, since I like horror." she shook her head. "Not that it matters. Slashers are very formulaic. Don't go off alone, don't get distracted, and for the love of all things sensible don't stop to make out!"

Alejandro glanced around. "Where are Geoff and Kitty anyway?"

:"Probably doing just that." Noah shrugged.

/

A distance shot of the woods is shown. The camera zoomed in on them. Geoff and Kitty are still talking. "Okay we should have gotten back to camp now. It was only a quick shortcut through the woods." Kitty said worriedly.

"I think we're lost."Geoff told her.

"This is just like the movie! They got lost in the woods too! It's like we're roleplaying." Kitty exclaimed, almost sounding excited.

"Well…" Geoff trailed as a seductive smirk made its way onto his face. "As long as we're roleplaying. You wanna make out?"

Kitty frowned. "I really shouldn't…" An equally seductive smirk lit her face. "But why not!"

They jumped into a nearby bush and the sounds of making out can be heard. A shadow approaches, quickly reveal the backside of a black man wearing gray pants and shirt , as well as a black aporn. On his right hand was a hook. Deep heavy breathing can be heard followed by the revving of a chainsaw. Geoff and Kitty pop out of the bushes.

The camera switched to a frontside view of the killer. He was wearing a hockey mask, a brown gardening glove on his non hook hand, said hand was brandishing a chain saw taped to a hockey stick.

/

A flash transition shows the two running over cartoonishly close hills, followed by the killer, all in silhouette. The camera zoomed in to show the two running across the ground. "Why does it feel like we're going nowhere!" Geoff exclaimed.

"Horror movie logic! Getting to the killer is easier than running away!" Kitty screamed.

"Isn't this usually when someone trips?" Geoff asked. The camera focused on Kitty's feet as the Selfie lover tripped over a rock. "Kitty!"

"Leave me! Going back is what gets you killed!" She screamed. Geoff looked torn but nodded and began to run. The sound of a chainsaw can be heard as Kitty looked back in horror."

/

The scene cut to Chris watching Geoff run on the chase music continued even as the party dude ran into the very tent Chris was watching from. Chris turned his chair to face him and the party dude froze for a second before he glanced over his shoulder.

"You gotta do something man! Kitty's still out there man! The killer with a chainsaw and hook is gonna get her!" He looked at the monitors. the one on the far left show the killer holding Kitty with his hook. "We're too late! No!"

The music peaked as the killer, and his victim burst into the tent the chainsaw still going. Geoff screamed again. "No! Kitty I'll save you!" He began to charge the killer, but Chris grabbed his shoulder to stop him . "Geoff! Calm down it's Chef!" He smiled and gestured to the man beside him, who pulled up his hockey mask to reveal it as indeed Chef.

"So you were punking us?" Geoff asked.

"Awesome! You totally got me!" Kitty exclaimed, walking over to her boyfriend.

"Yes and no. It was your challenge to watch a scary movie then survive one." Chris explained.

Geoff gripped Kitty's hands. "I'm so sorry Kitty. You're my girl and I abandoned you. I wouldn't blame you if you never wanted to see me again."

"Are you kidding? I'm really proud of you. Most people would do what you said, and come back, then Chef would have caught both of us, and you wouldn't be able to help me anyway." Kitty explained.

"I still feel bad about it." The party dude told her.

"The good news is you're safe. The bad news is you lost the challenge, but now, you get to watch our fake psycho terrorize the rest of the campers. Fun huh?" He chuckled.

"Yeah! It'll be just like watching a horror movie starring our friends! We can even hold hands and cuddle the whole time!" Kitty suggested.

"Sounds good to me." Geoff smiled back. Chris and Chef left the tent.

/

"Great work, Chef." Chris told him as they lingered outside the tent. Chef had lifted his hockey mask and Chris squirted water from a bottle into his mouth. "But next time, try to work the hook hand angle a bit more." Chef smiled and replaced his mask. The scene ended with a shot of the 'killer' against the moon as he raised his hook hand and revved the chainsaw.

/

"Alright. I've made a list of slasher cliches." Amber said as she finished writing a few more notes in her notebook. " Now all we have to do is keep them in mind and-" The bookworm paused, as the pit is shown with Trent missing. "Where's Trent?"

"He was worried about Kitty and Geoff. So like the white knight he is he left without any regard to his own safety." Noah shrugged.

/

A flash transition shows some bushes. Heavy breathing can be heard as the camera peers over the bush before focusing on Trent just outside the communal bathrooms. "Okay, I heard Geoff say something about needing to pee. So this is where they started." He took a deep breath as the camera zoomed in. "You can do this man. Kitty and Geoff could be in danger. You just gotta keep it together." He wiped some sweat from his brow. "Where do I begin looking?"

/

The scene pulled back to show Chris lounging in the tent. "Luckily we've long since recorded the cast's screams." He pressed a button on the console underneath the cameras.

/

A high pitched scream can be heard. Trent was on alert immediately. "That's Kitty's scream!" He ran off screen. "Don't worry guys I'm coming!" Sinister music began to play as the camera focused on the bathroom door.

The sounds of running water can be heard from a stall. Ella stood next to the stall her pupils contracted in fear. "A-amy d-did you h-hear that?"

"Speak up! The water's really loud!" Amy yelled from the stall.

Ella stared at the door as the music grew tense. She gulped and took a few steps towards it. "I-I k-know I heard something." She stammered as she drew closer to the door. At that moment the sound of a chainsaw revving can be heard on the other side of the door. Chef burst through the door as dramatic horror music played. Ella screamed and ran for the outside instinctively. She ducked under Chef's arm and began to run towards the forest.

/

A flash transition takes us to Ella running across camp. The camera follows her as she runs over a hill, across the dock of shame and into the woods. She dodges several trees, but eventually she reaches a cliff face. She turned and there was Chef, revving his chainsaw.

Ella screamed, then began to sing. As usual the song had no lyrics but the tone of her acapella notes was harsher than normal. A wolf and an Owl appeared and began to attack Chef. While he was distracted Ella ran away. It wasn't long before she ran into the tent. Just was Geoff had before. She kept screaming.

Chris gripped her shoulders. "Girl you're safe!"

Ella screamed a bit longer as she registered these words. "I am?" She asked her screams dying suddenly. A hook hand offers her a bottle of water from offscreen. She accepted it absentmindedly.

"It's just Chef." Chris explained as she realized who had given her the bottle and accidentally did a spit take.

"I have to say I'm surprised. I didn't think you could use that singing for violent purposes." The host grinned.

"I don't like to, but I was so scared I just did it out of fear," The princess wannabe admitted.

"Well you warded off Chef, so while you have lost you're probably safe tonight. Speaking of which." The host walked to his co-star. "you're up psycho man." Chef grinned and lowered his mask again before leaving.

/

A flash transition takes us back to the communal bathrooms. The sound of the water turning off is heard, then Amy steps out from behind the curtain in a red bath towel. "Okay, now that I can actually hear, what did you want to talk about Ella?" The mean twin glanced around. "Ella where are you?" She stepped into the sink area and frowned. "This isn't the time for games Ella." She crouched and looked under the sinks. "Ella I'm getting worried about you,"

She walked to the door and peered out. "Ella?" She frowned, and shut the door. "Well if I'm going to look for her I should get dressed." She turned and the sound of a chainsaw can be heard. The mean twin's eyes contracted, she turned around to see the 'killer'. She screamed and the camera went into her mouth then back out to show her on a log in the tent, still in her bath towel.

"Maybe if you paid attention to the scary movies, you'd know that A) You shouldn't ignore your friend's warnings, and B) if you can't find someone don't look for them." Chris chastised her.

/

The scene moved back to the campsite where Noah and Crimson are idly sitting on their logs. Amber looks around in shock. "Where's Alejandro?!"

"He went to raid Chef kitchen for something he can use as a weapon." Noah told her.

"What! He should know better than that! It's like everyone is trying to fall for the most generic things!" Amber scowled.

(Confessional)

Amber: I hope he's okay. (Her eyes widened at her slip up. ) that doesn't leave this confessional, got it!"

Static

/

Alejandro peeked into the mess hall door, he glanced left and right, before tip toeing in. He got about halfway through the dining part of the Mess hall before the camera zoomed in to show the door closing. The Spaniard gasped and looked back but quickly regained his calm. He continued through the swinging doors of the kitchen and smiled. "That would do." He noted. The camera shifted to show a plate of brownies, with a meat cleaver and two knives stuck in the table next to it. Alejandro pulled out the meat cleaver

. "Alejandro- jandro- jandro." A mysterious echoing voice whispered. "The cleaver, the cleaver, the cleaver." the lights cut out leaving only the Spainard's widened eyes to see. "Alejandro- jandro- jandro." The eyes move as though the Spainard has turned. Then light enters the room from the outside as Alejandro opens the door to see the 'killer'. He raised his chainsaw and The charmer backed up until he hit the back wall.

The Spainard swallowed and gained a determined look. He brandished his cleaver and declared. "Alejandro Burromuerto does not go down without a fight!" he brought his knife down as Chef lifted his chainsaw. Seeing his chance he ran under it and out the door.

/

"Well," Alejandro said, now in the tent. "that was certainly unexpected."

"You tried to fight off the killer? What were you thinking? But you scored major points for having a weapon." Chris noted.
"Chris can I leave? I'm still in a towel!' Amy complained. She glared at the other people in the tent. To her right was Ella, and to her left was Geoff and Kitty, who were cuddling as they said they would.

"Sorry: Chris began sounding not at all apologetic. "we gotta wait 'til everyone's slashed. And it looks like our buddy Trent is up next!" The camera panned up and over to the second monitor from the left, upon which Trent was unknowingly being trailed by Chef.

The shot lingered on the monitor before cutting to Kitty. "Dude he's totally getting slashed!" The selfie lover exclaimed.

/

The eerie background music swelled as Trent paused. He glanced around as though looking for someone. Chef tapped him on the shoulder and he turned. At first he looked scared then he got angry. "Dude what did you do with my friends! I heard Kitty screaming and I want answers!" Chef didn't answer, only breathing heavily. Trent's eyes narrowed. "You're not gonna tell me? Then take me! I'd rather know where my friends are!"

Chef gave him an odd look but shrugged. A flash transition later Chef is throwing the guitarist into the tent. "By far," Chris began as the campers looked at him in a mixture of disbelief and awe. "By far the worst blunder yet."

"I can't believe you'd turn yourself over to a killer just to make sure we were safe." Kitty said in shock.

"Yeah dude you get major friend points for that." Geoff told him. The guitarist smiled.

The conversation was cut by Amber's voice over the monitors. "At this point I doubt Trent is coming back."

"Probably not. Selfless guys usually get taken out pretty quickly on account of the whole 'not leaving anyone behind,' thing." Noah shrugged.

(Confessional)

Trent: He says it like that's a bad thing.

Static

The conversation continued in footage directly from the campfire pit. "Ugh I can't believe we're the only ones left! I was trying to help!" Amber vented.

"Yeah about that. Now that it's down to the three of us, there's only two things I see happening." Noah began. "Either we stay here and the killer finds all of us, or we find a spot for a final showdown."

"You're not seriously leaving alone." Amber groaned.

"Of course not Crimson's going with me, but if you wanna stay here like a sitting duck it's no skin off my nose." Noah shrugged. The two deadpan teens left.

Amber shoved her notebook in her pocket. "Well if I'm gonna die I might as well get a last meal!" She yelled in frustration a whispering voice echoed. "Amber, Amber, Amber,"

"Your effects aren't scary Chris! And I'm tired of playing along!" The bookworm yelled.

/

The camera pulled back and panned right to show Noah standing at the end of the dock of shame. As Amber walked off one screen Chef walked into view on the other.

What's he doing! It's like Noah's waiting to get caught!" Trent exclaimed.

(confessional)

Noah: I'm not an idiot, a nerd like me is a prime candidate for a slasher. (He smirked) Which is why I was doing it."

Static

"Gee I sure hope there aren't any killers around." Noah deadpanned. "That would be bad news for me."

Chef began approaching revving he chainsaw as he did. Noah turned and screamed, as took a step backwards as Chef took one forward, clearly enjoying the chase. Noah took another step backwards and Chef followed. Noah backed up to the end of the dock. Chef revved the chainsaw and Noah smirked. "Now!"

Crimson leapt out from under the dock and pushed Chef off the other side. Chef let go of his chainsaw as he fell. The camera followed him underwater as he got his bearings. He popped back up and climbed onto the dock, only for Noah to brandish a newly hockeystickless chainsaw at him. "Game over Chef!" He smirked as Crimson removed the mask.

"He was good at this role though." The goth droned appreciatively.

"Better than the actor in that movie." Noah agreed.

/

A flash transition took the scene to Amber slowly eating the plate of brownies Alejandro had seen earlier. A chainsaw roared and the white man dressed like Chef stepped on screen behind her. "Save it. I've had enough of this challenge. If you're gonna eliminate me just do it." She sighed, taking another bite of brownie.

/

"You know chainsaws should be used with care." Noah remarked, opening the tent flap and coming in with the weapon. Crimson and Chef followed, the former holding a hockey mask.

The other campers and Chris clapped and cheered. Then Trent pointed to the monitor still showing the mess hall. "I guess it's Amber's turn."

"Hold on a moment. Chef is here,"Alejandro said pointing to the hulking man. So who's with Amber?"

"Wait,there's actually a psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook?" Noah said, his eyes widening in fear.

The entire group's eyes widened in and as one they all screamed and ran out of the tent.

"This could be really, really good for ratings…" Chef began to tell Chef. "or really, really bad for lawsuits!"

/

"Ugh." Amber said, her nose wrinkling in disgust as she stood next to the man. Who was built like Chef but was white and had a few scars. "I know method acting is a thing, but you don't need the breath of an actual psycho killer. Seriously bring breath mints if you need to."

(confessional)

Psycho killer: (He breathes into his gloved hand and sniffs wincing at the smell.) Oh.

Static

"What's with the hook hand trope anyway?" Amber asked him as she chewed her brownie. " It doesn't make the killer scarier. If anything it lowers their chance of successfully using the chainsaw. I've read safety manuals on them for shop class, and unless you use both hands you're just as liable to cut your own hand off." She swallowed. "You wanna brownie?" She asked, gesturing to the nearly empty tray beside her.

The Killer shook his head and removed his hook hand. Revealing a scabby stump underneath it. "I see you already have." Amber deadpanned

The killer growled as he raised the chainsaw and the hook. The music took a dramatic turn. He paused before he brought them down, and glanced at the door.

The other campers, Chris and Chef burst inside. "He's the real escaped psycho killer with a chainsaw and a hook!" They screamed in unison.

"What!" Amber exclaimed suddenly looking at the killer in fear. The killer raised his weapons to attack again. The bookworm screamed and did the first thing she thought of, she lifted the tray of brownies and slammed it on the killer's head. His mask fell off.

A close up of the killer's face revealed a unibrow and two beady eyes the left of which had a scar through it. "Ow!" He said in a high pitched whiny voice. "Oh, that was totally uncalled for! " Amber stared at him in shock as he quickly recovered, point an accusatory finger at her, before turning and walking away. "Man, I am so out of here! I was treated way better in prison!" He added as he passed the rest of the cast and staff.

Amber walked over to Alejandro and punched him hard in the chest. "That's for doing something so reckless you big jerk! You could have gotten hurt!" She shook her head. "Not that I care!" No one commented on this as they were too busy staring in stunned silence, save Crimson who had already recovered.

/

The footage skipped ahead to the campfire ceremony, Chris can be heard chuckling as the scene transitions. "Well," he began as the camera cut to Noah's smug face and Crimson's deadpan one. "It's obvious to everyone that Amber wins invincibility." the camera panned to Amber, who looked freaked out from her earlier encounter. "

" And sadly," Chris continued as the camera zoomed out to show all nine campers. "Votes are split between Geoff and Kitty since they were both stupid enough to make out when they knew a killer was on the loose. In the end Geoff had one more vote than Kitty. But." the host smiled. "But… no hard feelings, dude. You will be missed."

Kitty ran to him and hugged him. "I can't believe you had one more vote than me!"

Geoff smiled at her, "I can, because I voted for myself."

"Why?!" A shocked Kitty asked.

"I left you behind so I figured I did worse." The party dude told her. They shared a kiss, then Geoff boarded the boat of losers. The entire cast waved as they saw him off.

/

As the boat sped away with Geoff on it, the echoing voice can be heard one last time. "Total Total Total Drama Drama Drama Island Island Island… Total Total Total Drama Drama Drama–" the camera panned left to show the real killer behind a tree, revealing him as the source of the echoing voice. He put a hand to his head.

"Oh man." He suddenly whined. "That really hurt. Do you think I have a concussion?" He asked the camera.

Chapter Text

As per usual the episode begins with the standard shot of Chris on the dock. "Last time on Total Drama Island… " Kitty is shown reading the newspaper, followed by a close up shot of the killer's picture, then Alejandro preparing to fight a disguised Chef, then the silhouette of Chef running up a hill. "An escaped psycho killer terrorized our campers with his meat-mangling hook ." Chef is shown welding his weapons at Kitty and Geoff who were previously making out." and his mega murderous chainsaw."

"There was a large amount of screaming," Ella and Amy are shown doing just that, then the transition to Amy inside the tent is shown. "Especially considering the whole thing was really just an elaborate punk." Chris gesturing to Chef and the cook lifting his hockey mask is shown. "Ooh, ooh, ooh! I love this part!" Chris exclaimed as Noah is shown standing at the dock.

"Noah and Crimson psyched out the psycho in a clever ambush." Crimson pushing Chef off the dock, followed by Noah brandishing the chainsaw at him is shown. "But ultimate victory went to Amber, who somehow ended up in the kitchen with an actual psycho," The bookworm is shown eating a brownie with an unamused expression as the killer arrived, followed by the killer raising his weapons, Amber slamming the tray of Brownies over his head and the killer leaving in a huff all shown in rapid succession.

"Geoff and Kitty were both on the chopping block, but Geoff went home after voting himself out since he left Kitty behind earlier. What a guy." Geoff and Kitty talking on the dock is shown, then Geoff leaving Kitty behind after she tripped, then the two kissing under the moonlight.

Interestingly then recap ends with Chris sitting on one of the stumps at the campfire pit. He's stroking a beaver with one hand as the animal eats sticks from his other. "Only eight campers remain. Who will win? Who will lose?" The beaver ate the last stick, failed to realize there were no more sticks and bit Chris' hand instead. "Ow! Who will need a rabies shot thanks to this ungrateful little–" He noticed the camera and ceased his anger, placing the beaver on his head with a smile. "Find out on this episode of… Total. Drama. Island!"

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

We begin the episode proper with a shot of Noah and Crimson sitting on the steps of a cabin. It is quickly revealed to be the girl's cabin as Kitty exits the door. She walked to the two deadpan teens. "Noah do you mind if I sit here?"

The cynic raised an eyebrow. "Sure, knock yourself out."

The Selfie lover sat next to him. "I can't believe Geoff is gone." Noah made a noncommittal noise. "And because of me too. I mean, I told him to leave me behind so it wasn't really his fault." Yet another noncommittal noise from her conversation partner. "I just feel bad."

"Why are you having this conversation with me instead of Alejandro?" The cynic asked.

"Because Alejandro would comfort me, and I need the opposite." The selfie lover explained.

The cynic looked confused and shrugged, "Whatever, we should go get some of that sludge Chef calls food."

Kitty chuckled. "Sounds good to me."

/

"Do I want to know what happened?" Noah deadpanned. Kitty stared off screen in shock as Crimson remained deadpan as usual. The shot panned to show Amy hanging from a tree by her foot, the other four campers in a cage below her.

"I'd like to know myself." Alejandro said tersely.

"Good morning, campers!" Chris said, walking into view with a beaver on his head. "Or should I say… trappers?" He grinned, removed the rodent from his head, and held up a serrated knife. "Ready for today's challenge?" Everyone gasped, save Crimson. "Excellent. Then let's chat about it over chow. Shall we?"

The host began to walk away. Amy glared at him. "Get back here Chris! I am not hanging here all day!" Chris threw the knife he'd been holding, it cut cleanly through the rope, causing the older twin to slam into the top of the cage. "Nice aim." She moaned. The door to the cage opened.

/

The camera cut to the beach went up and over the short distance to the mess hall and cut inside. At one table sat Amy, Ella, and Amber. The first two were chatting while the bookworm read, not even touching the paste given to her as Breakfast. A pan across the room showed Trent, Alejandro, Kitty, Noah, and Crimson in a similar situation. No one was eating the paste though Kitty could be seen trying to pry her spoon from the sticky substance. " Come on paste." She muttered.

Campers," Chris announced. " there are only seven of you left on Total Drama Island. After tonight's dramatic bonfire ceremony, only six of you will remain. We're nearing the end people, so look alive!"

Static

Noah: What are my chances of winning? I don't know, I'm prepared strategy wise but there's always a chance of a physical challenge sending me out. Even if I do make it to the end, I'm not the most likeable of the remaining contestants so people probably won't vote for me. You never know though, I did win student body president.

Static

Alejandro: Obviously I'm winning. Seven more contestants to go and I shall be victorious! I'm confident my charisma and talent will net me the majority of the votes. After all, who can resist me?"

Static

" Today's challenge" Chris began with clasped hands and a smile. " involves making like our province's great rangers and game wardens. You'll each have eight hours to trap an animal."

Noah grabbed Crimson's wrist. "I caught a human, does that count?"

Chris shook his head. "A wild animal. Which you must bring back to the campfire. Unharmed."

/

A bear is shown hogtied to what is quickly revealed to be a red helicopter. "Rangers and game wardens often have to relocate animals for their own good." Chris' voice overlay as the shot zoomed out to show many bears hanging from many helicopters. "and the good of campers." The scene cut to a small playground with a swing and see-saw. The bear fell out of the sky onto the seesaw below, landing on a pigtailed girl and catapulting a bespectacled boy into the air. "Ow! Get off!" She cried.

/

Back in the mess hall Noah smirked. "After the challenge does it matter what we do with our animal, because I'd like to make it into a decent meal." From the other table Ella gasped.

"Funny you should say that, Noah." Chris told him. Reward for winning today's challenge" He paused for dramatic effect. " is a meal of all of your favorite foods!"

"I sincerely doubt you have more fugu on hand." Crimson deadpanned.

"Just try not to hurt the animals everyone!" Ella cheered.

(Confessional)

Ella:(Singing) I'm in the final eight! How grand, and great! And I just cannot wait, to participate!(talking) Truly I could have never imagined making it here! Can you imagine if I won? I could donate the money to an animal shelter! Of course everyone here deserves it far more than I.

Static

/

The confessional cut to a distance shot of the '1,000' foot cliff, an unknown bird cried in the background. Then a zoom cut takes us to the contestants standing outside the boathouse. "Everyone." Chris began as Alejandro stepped forward. " choose an animal assignment!" He held out a pith helmet containing several slips of paper. The Spainard withdrew one.

"A Deer?" He smirked.

"Chipmunk? This'll be easy!" Amy cheered.

"Racoon." Crimson deadpanned.

"A duck?" Amber frowned.

"Beaver?" Kitty said questioningly.

"Frog." Noah stated.

"A majestic steed!" Ella said with a twirl. Her paper said horse.

"A bear?! Seriously?!" Trent exclaimed.

"It's the only animal left." Chris shrugged.

"So everyone else gets cute animals and I'm stuck with a bear. While Amy of all people gets a chipmunk?" Trent questioned.

"Guess the universe just hates you Trent." The older twin smirked.

"You do get sixty seconds in the boathouse to gather any equipment that might help." Chris explained.

"Unless you have a giant pile of fish and bear repellent it won't matter! I might as well give up now." The guitarist sighed.

"You could…" The host smirked. "But the loser cleans the communal washrooms."

Trent's pupils contracted. Several dramatic stings are accompanied by increasingly close shots of the washrooms, eventually showing the disgusting filth ridden toilets within. All of which were attracting flies. The others gasped and Trent looked ready to puke at the mere thought. "My stomach can't handle that." He groaned.

"All right, campers. You have just one minute in the boathouse to grab your critter catching gear." Chris told them.

/

The footage skipped ahead to show the now open boathouse as several objects are thrown out the door. Inside the campers are shown searching the crates, barrels and shelves for anything that could help. Trent searches through a box on the far left, the camera panned right to show Noah with a fishing rod and pail, Kitty with a life preserver, Crimson examining a set of shark teeth, Alejandro finds a net which Amber begins fighting him for, Amy looking at an oar and a sledgehammer, and Ella looking on in horror. "Amy you're not going to hurt the poor chipmunk are you?"

The older twin sighed. "How else am I supposed to capture it?"

"I can help you, I'll even get you yours before mine." Ella offered.

Amy smirked, dropping both objects. "Sounds like a plan to me."

Amber is shown tugging on the net when Alejandro lets go. Amber crashes to the floor where she sees a container of duck food. She grabs it, then stands up irrately. "What's that big idea?"

"My apologies chica, I simply decided you needed the net more and thus let go of it." The Spainard replied with a knowing smirk.

"Ugh." Amber rolled her eyes and threw the net at Trent. "I don't need it." The guitarist nodded thankfully.

Kitty grinned as she pulled out a burlap sack. "Yes!"

"Ten seconds remaining!" Chris announced, peering through the door.

Alejandro found the antlers used in the paintball challenge and a rope with a hook on it and exited. Crimson searched the room and found a tranq gun. She shrugged and exited.

(Confessional)

Amber: I really didn't expect to get this far. I thought I'd be out long ago, but somehow I've avoided it. I guess the main thing keeping me here is Alejandro. I want to beat him, so badly. I want to win and shove it into his perfect little face that I beat him. In spite of my romantic feelings I'm 95% sure he doesn't return. (She sighs.) I wish I could get rid of them.

Static

Amy: So obviously I'm winning this thing. I've been distracted with Jo and her alliance. Then Alejandro made his alliance, but now that Geoff is gone, I can finally get revenge on the one who got me voted out in the first place. All I need is a little persuasion.

Static

/

Alejandro, Crimson, and Noah are shown exiting the boathouse. "Everybody ready?"Chris asked, as a drumroll began.

"Yes!" All but Trent replied. Each holding their 'weapon' of choice.

"As I'll ever be." The guitarist sighed.

"Game on!" The host announced. The drumroll ended as he brought his finger down. Everyone took off with Trent sighing as he dragged his net behind him in his other hand was a bucket. It wasn't long before Amy caught up to Alejandro and slowed. The Spainard took the hint and slowed as well.

"Amy, to what do I owe your company?" He asked.

"Look I don't like you, but I think we could benefit each other." The older twin began.

"To what end?" The charmer asked.

"You don't really think Noah's gonna let you use him much longer do you?" Amy asked.

""Of course not, but I believe he sees the value in continuing to ally himself with me for a little longer." Alejandro told her.

"And how long before Noah has more control over the alliance than you do? He's already in control of half, all he needs is to get Kitty on his side. Then when the time is right he'll stab you in the back. He got me voted out and I had nearly half the team on my side." Amy explained.

"I'm prepared for that eventuality." Alejandro told her. He left the conversation.

Amy smirked. "He'll see I'm right."

/

The scene cut to somewhere in the forest, a wide trail winds its way around the tree ridden landscape, a flock of red birds twitter their way through. The scene zoomed in and cut to a male Mallard duck standing next to a pile of seed. It begins to peck at it. The scene pulled out and panned to Amber crouched in a nearby bush.

"Come here little Mallard there's more where that came from." The bookworm whispered, pouring some more bait on the ground nearby. The duck looked up and dashed to the second pile, where it proceeded to eat that as well.

"You like that don't you?" Amber whispered moving in. The duck looked up quacked two times and ran off so quickly it's legs were a blur.

(Confessional)

Amber: Are you kidding me?! Am I catching a duck or a roadrunner!

Static

/

The confessional cut to Trent just outside a cave. He left a bucket of fish at the mouth of it and moved back.

(confessional)

Trent: Do I think I'll win? Maybe. The competition is pretty stiff. I know one thing though, I'm going to beat Amy. Ever since I chose Sammy over her she's been messing with me. I'd choose Sammy over her any day though. Sammy if you're watching this I'll take her out. For us.

Static

The bear exited the cave and began pawing at the bucket of fish. Trent saw his chance and threw the net. It landed on the bear, but it was too small. The bear growled at him. "Heh, nice bear?" Trent gulped.

/

Noah is shown in a swampy area with many pools of standing water. The cynic sighed and threw his fishing line as far out as he could. A fly was attached to the end. The line landed right next to a frog, who gave Noah a look like, 'you really think I'm that stupid?' It Croaked tauntingly and hopped away.

"Look I'm not playing games with you. Is there any way I can bribe you into coming willingly?" The cynic asked.

The frog looked down at the fishing line before him, then back up giving a derisive croak. "Fine I'll look for something better than a fly." Noah conceded.

/

The scene shifted to show a raccoon rooting around behind a rock. The camera panned right to show a deadpan Crimson approaching footfalls alerted it to her presence. The music turned ominous as the raccoon looked behind her. The goth glanced back.

A large group of raccoons had moved in behind her. They chittered angrily and glared. More and more revealed themselves, accompanied by a mechanical sound. Rather than back down the goth merely stared. The raccoons took the challenge head on. They rose further and further until their shadow loomed over the deadpan teen. The mechanical whirling, befitting of a robot being built, continued alongside this. Two limbs began to form and even a head.

The eyes of two raccoons began to glow red as the camera zoomed out to show the being the raccoons had created. It had stubby legs and a large jaw that snapped at Crimson. The goth pulled out the tranq gun she'd grabbed earlier and shot one in the center. It fell out of the larger beast bringing the rest of it down as well. The raccoons blinked in confusion.

(Confessional)

Crimson: I don't know if I'll win. I don't care.

Static

/

Amy and Ella approached a tall deciduous tree. On one of its higher branches is a chipmunk. Amy is holding several berries in her hand. She turned to Ella. "Okay so how are we going to do this?"

"Let me talk to it first." Ella said. She called up the tree. "Hello my friend and I would like a word with you." The Chipmunk looked at Amy and squeaked. "Oh?"

"What's the holdup?" Amy asked.

"Well he's scared of you, but that's okay. We just need to get him to trust you." The princess wannabe explained.

"And how do I do that exactly?" The blonde asked.

"Simple, talk in a gentle tone of voice and hold as still as you can while he approaches." Ella encouraged.

Amy took a deep breath. "Okay. Come down here little rodent, I've got some yummy berries for you." The chipmunk sniffed the air, then slowly began to crawl down the tree. It eventually crawled into her outstretched hand. Amy looked at the creature with mild disgust but allowed it to begin eating the berries from her other hand. Slowly her look transformed from disgust to a self satisfied smirk. "I knew I could do it."

"So did I. Once he has a few berries you should be able to take him anywhere, as long as you keep treating him nicely." Ella told her.

"Right talk quietly, move slowly." Amy nodded.

"Good. Now I'm off to capture a noble steed!" Ella exclaimed. She skipped off happily.

Amy looked at the chipmunk. "She's lost in her own world, but at least she's nice huh?" The chipmunk nodded.

/

Kitty is shown outside a beaver dam. She frowned. "Okay so do I just swim in?"

(Confessional)

Kitty: I'm pretty confident I can win. I'm a people person. Everyone seems to like me. I just need to get far enough to win that vote. More than a cool 100k is at stake here. I have plans for that money. Plans I really want to happen.

Static

/

The confessional cut to the Mallard duck from earlier running through the woods, the scene zoomed out to show Amber trying to keep up. "Reaching, physical, limit!" She gasped. Trent ran past her. "Trent what's going on?" The guitarist didn't answer, merely continuing to run. The duck quacked and began to run even faster. "Oh come on!"

/

The scene cut to show a doe eating a large pile of vegetation. Alejandro slowly approached the doe wearing the antlers. He held leaves in his hand. The doe looked up. "Hello my cervoid friend. Might I offer you some food?"

The doe approached him slowly. Eventually it ate the leaves from his hand. "Did you like that my friend?" The deer began to look over his body as though searching for more food. "I can give you more if you'll permit me?" He held out the rope from earlier now tied into a lasso. The deer lowered its head and the Spainard slid the rope over it. He grabbed the other end of rope and began to lead it away.

/

The scene shifted to a serene lake at the base of a cliff. Beautiful music gave the scene a feeling of tranquility. A pair of butterflies flew from the cliff bringing the camera with them. A majestic white horse with a tan mane and a cluster of red stars on his flank drank from the lake.

Ella stepped into the scene looking perfectly in place. A wide eyed look of wonderment came over her face. "You're just as beautiful as I always pictured my prince's horse would be!"

The horse looked at her. "Oh i've always wanted to see a majestic steed and now I have!" The horse whined. "Well thank you." The princess wannabe giggled. " would you mind accompanying me to a safe place. You need to be relocated you see."

The horse neighed and Ella's eyes began to shine. "You want me to ride you! How can I say no!"

/

A flash transition takes us to the campfire pit, where a large wooden cage had been set up for our campers. Trent was looking around the area, muttering to himself. "How am I supposed to catch a bear?"

"Having trouble Trent?" The guitarist scowled at the voice. Amy entered the pit, the chipmunk still in her hand. "I've already got mine."

"Let me guess you had Ella do all the work?" Trent glared.

"I'll have you know I did most of this myself. No need to be salty heartbreaker." Amy said with a smile.

"Ironic coming from you homewrecker." Trent scoffed. In the background Alejandro entered the scene, noticing the fight he smirked as he quietly began to lead his doe to the cage. The camera focused on the two arguing campers.

"Player." Amy retorted.

"Backstabber." Trent snapped.

"Jerk."

"Fake."

At this point Amy was right in his face. "Cold hearted snake!"

"Self serving manipulative little-"Trent didn't finish his sentence as the door could be heard closing. The two turned to see Alejandro with his deer in the cage.

"I cannot wait for my prize." He smirked.

"What! That dinner was mine! I got here first. Thanks a lot Trent." Amy snapped. She walked to the cage, opened it, and dropped the chipmunk and berries on the ground. She shut the cage. "There. At least I'm second!"

The loudspeaker went off and Chris began to speak. "Don't forget, last camper to catch their critter cleans the washroom."

Crimson entered the clearing, a tranquilized raccoon in her hands. Alejandro opened the door for her and she dropped the raccoon in. "You already have your animal, I see." he said.

Crimson nodded and walked off. Alejandro looked at her thoughtfully. Then decided to follow.

/

Back at the lake Kitty approached the beaver dam in front of her. She took a deep breath then dived. The camera cut inside the dam to show a family of three beavers sitting at a small round table covered in a cream floral tablecloth. A shallow dish sat in front of each beaver and several pictures of beavers were hung on the wall.

Kitty popped up through the entrance, her pigtails hanging from her head, drenched. The beavers looked at each other then back at Kitty. "Hey, so I was wondering if I could take one of you with me?" She asked, holding out the burlap sack from earlier.

A beaver tail slapped her in the face. "Is that a no?" All three beavers had their backs towards her, they raised their tails and the camera cut back outside as the sounds of slapping and sounds of pain rang out.

/

The camera cut back to the swampy area with the frog. It croaked and the camera zoomed out. A fishing line with a small wedge of cheese on the end landed next to it. The camera zoomed out to show Noah holding the rod. "Alright I brought you something better than a fly. Is gouda enough to bribe you?"

The frog responded with a deadpan look and some side eye. "Oh come on. I broke into the kitchen for this." The frog croaked. "I am not going over there. Too risky."

"What are you doing?" A deadpan voice asked. Though Noah didn't jump or start he was surprised enough to drop his fishing rod. Crimson approached him.

"Trying to bribe a frog with cheese." Noah admitted.

Crimson looked down. "It worked." The frog was eating the cheese.

Noah tried to grab the frog but it hopped away before he could grab it, causing him to face plant into the mud below. Luckily Crimson caught it. "Here."

"Thanks." Noah told her. There was silence a moment as Noah contemplated. "You know it's getting pretty far into the game. Can I count on you to have my back?"

"As long as you have mine." Crimson told him.

"Good, because between you and me, you're the only one I trust." Noah admitted. The camera panned left to show Alejandro watching from behind a bush several feet away. A thoughtful look on his face.

/

Alejandro returned to the campfire pit. Amy approached him. "So have you thought about what I said?"

The Spaniard nodded. "Yes in light of some recent information perhaps it would be best to team up."

"Great, between you, Ella, and myself we just need one more vote to guarantee at least a tie. Then Noah is out of here!" the older twin cheered.

"About that, I was thinking…" Alejandro leaned forward and began whispering in Amy's ear. As she spoke the blonde gained an evil grin.

"Oh yeah. We can do that." She smirked.

(Confessional)

Amy: My revenge will be all the sweeter.

The duck from earlier is shown running away from Amber. The bookworm is huffing. "I can't do this. Come on duck give me a break! I'm a mental athlete not a physical one!" The duck is shown running again. "I'd just like to point out that I have those yummy seeds from earlier! See?" She held out the duck bait. "Come on I-" Amber was so distracted she slammed into a low hanging tree branch. She groaned and fell over.

/

Awestruck music played as the scene cut back to the campfire pit. Chris is leaning on the wooden cage in the background. While in the foreground Alejandro sat at the end of a long picnic table draped in a light orange cloth and decorated with a candelabra. Alejandro contemplated the feast before him, a full course meal with some kind of roasted bird.

"Wow. That all looks good!" Chris commented as the Spainard looked on in anticipation.

"Open the cage!" A familiar voice rang out, Chris did as he was asked. It was a soaking wet Kitty desperately trying to hold onto her burlap sack as the beaver inside struggled to get out. She ran to the door and threw the beaver in, sack and all.

"Hey girl, impressive! And no rabies!" Chris told her. He heard a groan as Noah arrived covered in mud. He threw the frog in with a groan. "I need a shower."

"I should probably dry off." Kitty muttered.

"Congratulations, you guys." Chris told them they gave him a glare.

"Greetings my friends. Why the long faces?" A voice asked from off screen the scene cut to show Ella riding the white horse from earlier, gleaming against the sunset background as the awestruck music from earlier played.

"Ella? I thought you'd have finished long ago." Kitty said.

"I would have but my noble steed wanted to take me around the island and I didn't have the heart to say no." Ella told them. She got off the horse and lead him into the cage, which Chris shut behind her. She skipped off humming.

"I hate her so much right now." Noah deadpanned.

/

"Alright. All I need to do is hope the bear lands in the trap I've set up." The guitarist is in a tree, below him he had stretched out the net, a pile of blueberries in the center. He lay in wait for the bear. He couldn't see the net clearly as branches blocked his view. He heard the net go off and dropped to the ground. "Hah got you, you stupid-" He blinked taking in the scene before him.

All of Amber was caught in his net, save her hands which were desperately struggling to hold onto a mallard duck, its legs flailing as it tried to run.. "Oops." He said.

The dusk somehow picked up speed from before and the force was enough to send Amber flying out of the net and the duck ran off.

/

"So," Chris began, now sitting on a stump at the other end of the table as the scene cut back to Alejandro at the campfire pit. "So, what are you having first?"

"Probably the whole grain long rice. It's the perfect appetizer." The Spainard explained.A loud femaine voice brought both men to attention. "Open the cage!"

A mallard duck ran into view dragging a hapless across the ground with him. Dirt was throughout her hair, grass flying into her face. The duck ran towards the cage before circling around the pit, dragging Amber over the table, which Alejandro was none to pleased by, and into the cage before it could slow it's momentum.

"Close the cage!" Amber told Chris.

"You sure?" Chris asked her.

"Now! Before the duck escapes!" Chris shrugged and closed the door. The camera pulled out to show the duck had dragged Amber into the cage with him. The animals glared at her. "Um, n-nice animals?" The bookworm squeaked. The animals pounced on her the camera cut away as she screamed. "I HATE DUCKS!"

/

The elimination ceremony began as usual the campers sat in two rows before the campfire. Noah, Crimson, Kitty and Trent in the back, Alejandro, Amy, Ella, and a badly injured Amber in front.

"You've all cast your votes and made your decision." Chris began, and camera cut to him and the tray of marshmallows. "When I call your name, come up and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight " The camera focused on the two fluffy pieces of immunity. "must immediately return to the Dock of Shame to catch the Boat of Losers and leave." The boat and dock are quickly cut to then back to Chris' close up. "That means you're out of the contest. And you can't come back. Ever." The host's lips are shown was he speaks the last word.

(Confessional)

Noah: I know one thing I won't miss if I get voted out. Chef's 'cooking'. .(He makes quotation marks around the word.)

/

Alejandro: The food.

/

Trent: If you can call it that.

/

Alejandro:It is by far the most disgusting

/

Amy:Gruesome

/

Trent: tasteless

/

Noah: Poorly made

/

Alejandro: Mold encrusted

/

Noah: vile

/

Amy:horrid

/

Trent: nastiest

/

Amy: Most wretched slop I've ever eaten! And the bathrooms?

/

Noah: Have you seen those stalls?

/

Alejandro: It is as though they have not been cleaned in-

/

Amy: Thirty-seven years!

/

Noah: It's completely unsanitary.

/

Trent:And boy are they gross.

Static

"The first marshmallow goes to…" Chris began. "Alejandro." The Spaniard smirked. "Trent, Kitty." The two caught their marshmallows and smiled.

"Ella." The girl caught hers. Chris paused. "Noah." The cynic caught his with no reaction.

"And Amy." Chris dragged, causing Trent to glare. "One marshmallow," Chris said as the music began to rise. "two players. Amber, Crimson." The bookworm's eyes widened while the goth remained deadpan as usual. Noah looked nervous. " One of you has spent your last night on Total Drama Island." The two girls are shown closely. First Amber who is shaking nervously, then a deadpan Crimson.

"Amber." Chris said, tossing her the marshmallow. She sighed in relief.

Noah's face went from nervous to glaring. "It wasn't a tie, which means someone betrayed our alliance." He looked pointedly at Alejandro.

"Like you weren't going to eventually. I merely got there first." The Spainard smirked.

"I'm not upset." Crimson said. She began to leave the pit.

"Wait!" Noah called he ran over to her. "So I, Well I'm going to, I really, I li-" The Cynic was cut off by a pair of lips. Crimson pulled away from a dazed Noah.

"Don't get so emotional. It makes you act like an idiot." She told him. Noah smirked back. She walked away.

Noah turned to Alejandro. "I was only targeting you as a threat before. Now it's personal."

Chris leaned in to speak with Trent. "Being the loser, you realize you still have some unfinished business." He said holding up a mop.

/

The scene cut to the communal washrooms. Trent scrubbed the floor. "Thanks for helping me Amber."

The bookworm groaned from inside the shower stall. "I just figured if you tried to clean this we'd end up with a bigger mess."

Trent swallowed to avoid puking. "You're probably right. I just wish Amy was gone."

"I know what you mean. Alejandro's been a thorn in my side ever since the merge hit." Amber said, peeking out from behind the shower curtain.

Trent smiled. "You'll take him down someday."

"Amber smiled back. "Thanks."

Chapter Text

The episode begins with what at first appears to be the normal opening shot, but Chris is absent." In today's special episode of Total Drama Island…" The host began to narrate. The scene flashed from the shot of the empty dock to close ups of the seven remaining contestants as each name is listed. "You've been watching Noah, Amy, Alejandro, Amber, Kitty, Trent, and Ella make their way to the final seven." The contestants were shown at the previous episode's elimination ceremony, then the scene cut to outside the mess hall, the communal bathrooms in the background.

Amy exits the mess hall and begins to vomit over the railing into a bush. Ella comes out shortly after, and begins to rub the twin's back in soothing circles. Trent runs out of the Bathroom a grizzly bear hot on his heels. "It's been a long six weeks." Chris continued as the scene panned left to show him on the end of the dock. "So, we decided to give our weary finalists the day off so we could contemplate how far they've gotten and enjoy all the campgrounds have to offer. " The camera moved further left to show Noah, and Amber reading on the dock, as well as Kitty treading water. In the background Trent and Alejandro are running away from the bear.

"But what happens to the campers after they walk the Dock of Shame, board the Boat of Losers and leave the camp?" Chris asked in a close up, a flash transition shows a totem pole when Chris leans out from behind. "Where are these rejects living?" Another flash shows him on top of the cliff from episode 1. "How are they spending their time?"

The next shot shows Chris in an unknown spot in the forest. He holds up a chest full valuables, likely fake. "And who do they think deserves to win the hundred grand?" The scene moves to the trailer Duncan won earlier in the season now fixed. Then Chris is shown in a confessional. "And you won't wanna miss a word!"

The intro ends with a shot of Chris near the docks. The short pulled out to show him on a red jet ski. "Coming up on Total. Drama. Island!" Just before the credits roll Chris zooms off.

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

Tropical music began to play as a long pier was shown leading up a cliff. Several deck chairs can be seen on both the dock and the beach behind it. Umbrella's had been set up over the chairs. Two small sailboats sat docked. At the top of the cliff stood a mansion, it was beige with a gray roof. Several palm trees had been placed around the building. Clearly fake as the background of tall spruces on rolling hills showed.

Chris entered the scene on the same jet ski from earlier. "Welcome to Playa des Losers." He announced with a wave as he docked. "The all-inclusive luxury resort," He continued over shots of the mansion, the palm trees, and buffet table with many dishes. "Where our campers are sent after being brutally voted out of the game to lick their wounds. " Geoff and Duncan are shown sunbathing by a pool, while a nearby Jo does push ups.

"and accept their fate as reality show has-beens." Tyler is shown at the top of a diving board. He winks at the camera, and dives.

"When we are down to the two final competitors," A thunk is heard off screen followed by a groan. We see Tyler has hit into the water like its concrete. "their fate will be in the hands of these fifteen losers!"

The scene moved to show Sammy, Dawn, and Ellody sitting on stools in their bathing suits around an island smoothie bar. Dawn has bunny on her lap."You know it's cute how hard he tries." Sammy said with a smile.

"He loves sports even if he's not so skilled. It's all over his aura." Dawn agreed.

"I'm just trying to figure out the physics involved." Ellody frowned. "A fall from that height shouldn't create nearly enough water tension for that result. He's defying logic, and that intrigues me."

A shot of the teens' legs is shown underwater as dramatic music plays. The camera cut back above as the music peaked and Crimson popped out of the water. Sammy shrieked and Ellody started.

"There you are Crimson I was wondering when you'd surface." Dawn said calmly.

"You knew she was there?" Sammy asked. "How- Oh right aura reading."

Ellody rolled her eyes. "The scientific evidence on aura reading is tenuous at best. More likely Dawn is simply good reading at a person's actions and psychosomatically placing an aura with a color that matches said actions around the person. "

Sammy blinked. "Okay then…"

/

The scene moved to show Max sitting in a hot tub as evil music played. Chris continued his narration. " As you can see, our campers have made themselves comfortable here at our luxury resort." The camera pulled out and the evil music came to a halt as Harold and Camron are shown talking amiably this seems to be annoying Max. "Harold even found someone who can tolerate him. "

The two boys turned to the camera. "This resort is totally awesome!" Harold told the camera.

"Indeed, and I have never felt water with such a perfect temperature." Camron added.

The camera moved on to Duncan and Geoff by lounging by the pool. "Can you believe this place is around the corner from that crappy camp?" The delinquent asked.

"Yeah this resort is off the charts!" Geoff cheered.

/

A flash took the scene to a grill where we can see Xena grilling several skewers of vegetables and meat along with a few sausages. "The food here is far more nutritionally balanced, provided you eat the correct things. As for myself I am adequate. The presence of this resort also explains how the show was able to trick the contestants without breaking contract. After all they did not state the competition would take place at a resort, only that there would be one. A clever ploy indeed."

"Hey Nerd! How are those sausages cooking?" Duncan asked from offscreen.

"It should not be much longer Duncan, but you will have to come get them yourself." The overlogical girl replied.

/

Anne Maria is shown sitting by the pool. "Now this is more like it! If I had known that I'd get sent here when I lost I'd have been the first person voted out! This resort caters to my needs perfectly." She pulls out a can of spray tan. "After all, looking this good takes work!"

/

An ominous tune began to play as we cut back to Max, still in the hot tub. "This resort is delightful-" He caught himself. "Delightfully evil that is! I was the first person voted out, clearly the others felt threatened by my evilness. I arrived here and took over as the supreme overload!" The 'evil' teen began to laugh evilly, then he choked partway through.

"Ahh!" Sammy screamed from offscreen. The camera moved to the pool where she, Dawn, bunny, and Ellody were still sitting. Crimson seems to have popped out of the water again. "Stop doing that! Please!" The nice twin asked.

"Crimson, if you stay underwater too long the heat from the pool water will melt your makeup." Dawn predicted.

Crimson nodded. "Thanks for the warning."

/

The footage skipped forward and the camera panned past Geoff to Lightning who was lifting weights. "Lightning doesn't care how nice this place is! He shouldn't be here! Lightning was set up!"

The clip of Scott hiding the football jock's protein powder under his bunk is shown. "If Lightning had his protein powder there's no way he woulda lost the challenge! And it's Scott's fault!"

"You weren't set up the second time you got voted out." Duncan pointed out.

"Yeah, but if Lightning had his protein powder there wouldn't have been no second time! Lightning woulda gotten all the way to the merge and everyone would know not to vote him out!" Lightning ranted. "When Lightning gets his hands on that farm boy Lightning's beat him to a pulp! You hear me!"

"Loud and clear you idiot." Scott said, stepping out from behind a bush. "You wanna beat me? Then come get me!"

"Oh Lightning will!" The football jock said. Scott began to run from him. Lightning started to catch up and Scott stopped running. He panted and Lightning dove at him. Scott smirked and dodged out of the way at the last second, revealing a lamppost. The football jock rammed into it.

"Nice job Brightning!" The framer sneered. Duncan passed holding a plate with three sausages on it. Scott reached for one and Duncan slapped his hand away.

"Nice try, but you don't get any." The delinquent smirked. "Besides you've got bigger problems."

Scott turned to find an enraged Lightning had uprooted the lamppost and was moving towards him. "Lightning's gonna take you down!"

"You should probably run." Duncan suggested. As the farmer took his advice he laughed.

/

The focus shifted to Geoff still sitting in the deck chair from earlier. "I learned a lot on this show. Like-" The clip of Geoff struggling to talk to Kitty during the camping episode was shown, followed by the selfie lover laughing. "Talking to girls is easier than you think, and if you open yourself up to them, they'll open up to you man. I also learned that tiki totems might be cursed and you should avoid them!"

/

"I was surprised to be voted out fourth." Ellody admitted from her spot on the one of the smoothie bar's stools. "I thought my academic prowess would be a real boon to our team."

"Apparently Scott thought so too. Considering he set you up." Dawn noted. A flashback showed Scott approaching Ellody, her plugging in the speaker cord, then Scott turning the volume up to full.

/

The flashback cut back to Dawn, bunny and Sammy at the bar. "As awful as this show can be I'm so grateful to have been on it." The twin said. "When I first got here I was so used to Amy and her friends being mean to me that I thought I deserved it." The footage of Sammy letting Amy make her carry the luggage is followed by her at the top of the cliff looking terrified of jumping.

. "I had low self esteem, and truly thought I couldn't do anything right." Sammy hesitantly telling Trent her favorite color is followed by Trent encouraging her after Jo rejected her talent.

The flashbacks end and Sammy smiles at the camera. "But thanks to Trent and the support of many others I know better now. I have value, and nothing can take that away from me."

/

A flash revealed Lightning, still holding the lamppost looking for Scott in the bushes. "My Pops said he'd get his lawyers to look over Lightning's eliminations. There's no way Lightning lost twice!"

"Dude you lost the first time because you wouldn't apologize." Geoff pointed out.

"And when you came back you started demanding things." Duncan added.

"Not to mention misgendering Scrawny and me! Not cool!" Jo yelled.

" No matter how physically adept you may be, logic dictates that those unable to work in tandem with their teammates should be removed." Xena noted as she passed by.

"Besides If anyone should be suing the show it's Dawn. She's the one who had the votes rigged against her." Ellody said. The scene of Alejandro switching the votes is shown.

"What about me? I was voted out fir-" Max began. LIghtning swung the lamppost at his head before he could finish.

"Lightning thinks ya'll are just jealous of how much better he is!" The football jock scoffed.

"That narcissism is why you got voted out." Anne Maria told him.

"Lightning doesn't even know why he's talking to you! Where's Scott?" with that the football jock began to search again.

/

" How would I characterize my experience?" Camron repeated, sitting on the side of the hottub. "Well it was the first time outside my bubble so-" Flashbacks show Camron tripping on the dock and getting a splinter, diving in the first challenge, struggling to right himself after a butterfly landed on him, and being stuck in a tree while a bear was in the camp below.

"Eye opening to say the least." The bubble boy said.

/

Jo is shown leaning against a coconut tree. "Did I get anything out of this experience? Of course I didn't! I'd still be in the competition if I had!"

Xena approached the jockette with a plate of kabobs in hand. "Did you not learn underestimating your alliance members was detrimental?" The clip of Jo getting voted out and Amy smirking at her is shown.

"If anything I learned to work alone!" Jo scoffed, a coconut fell on her head. "Ow! Ease up with the props McLean!"

Xena picked up the coconut and examined it. "Hmm. I would like to give the crew some constructive criticism. We are in the northern part of the northern hemisphere. Therefore your show would seem more authentic if the props were geographically correct."

A pile of snow fell on the overlogical girl, then a small sled, and a small inuit in a parka, who slid off with no comment. From underneath the snow Xena continued. "The snow was a good start, but it would not be falling in this much volume." Jo rolled her eyes.

/

Crimson is shown, now sitting on one of the bar stools next to Ellody. "So Crimson if you could say something one to the seven remaining campers, what would it be?"

"I'd tell Noah to keep being himself." The goth deadpanned. Triumphant music began to play over a series of clips. First Noah struggling to confess to Crimson and the goth kissing him. Then Noah telling Crimson he didn't care what she looked like during the phobia challenge, then him telling Crimson that she was the only one he trusted. "He's the only one I feel like I can be myself around." She admitted the slightest of blushes showing through her makeup.

"Oh my gosh Crimson is that emotion on your face?!" Sammy beamed.

Crimson immediately stopped blushing. "No. I'm a goth. We don't do emotions."

"That's not what your aura says. Your affection for Noah has given it a pink tinge to it that was not present when you arrived." Dawn told her.

"Besides you kissed him. That's pretty indicative of your feelings." Ellody added.

"I have no comment." Crimson deadpanned.

Another person surfaced from the pool. Sammy shrieked and Ellody started. Max cackled evilly. "That's right! Fear and my evilness!"

Crimson looked the 'evil' boy straight in the eye. "Do you know what true fear is?"

Max froze and began to shake. "W-well I've decided to go easy on you all today! But you have not seen that last of me!" He quickly got out of the pool.

Ellody lifted her feet out of the water. "I believe you scared him so much he urinated." Sammy and Dawn quickly moved their feet from the pool as well.

/

The tropical music started again as the scene flashed to Chris. "And there you have it. " He said with a smile. "Stay tuned to hear the answer to the question everyone wants to know. What do the losers think of the final Seven? And who will they vote to win?" The camera pulled out to show the host was on the dock leading up to the playa. "These answers and more coming up."

/

The scene faded back in from black. The playa was shown from a distance before the shot cut back to Chris walking past the buffet table. "Okay. You've seen how the losers are spending their time. Now it's time to find out what they think of the final seven."

Jo Popped onto the camera in front of Chris. "Al thinks he's all that, but he's nothing but a two faced narcissist. He charms people into doing what he wants. I mean yeah I get people to do what I want but I don't pretend to be their friend! Only someone with no confidence in his abilities would do that!"

"Thanks for the input Jo." Chris said sarcastically.

/

"Knowing Brighting he's already forgotten he was chasing me." Scott chuckled. He was standing outside some bushes and whiting with his knife thoughtfully. "Al?" Scott scowled as he noticed the camera. "What a thorn in my side! It's his fault I'm here! Messing with him was pretty fun though. As he spoke two clips were shown. The first Scott's elimination, and the second him rolling the pastry dough too rough during the cooking challenge.

"You can't escape Lightning!" The football jock said from off screen.

"Looks like he does have a brain." Scott jeered. He ran off screen and Lighting followed.

/

Tyler, Xena, and Anne Maria are all shown sitting by the pool. "Alejandro's the worst. He told me he thought I was a good athlete, but I found out he was lying!" Tyler said

"It's your own fault if ya believe a lie like that!" Anne Maria scoffed. "Alejandro is one fine hunk of a man! He should win, cause he's the hottest one left.

"But he rigged the votes against Dawn, then tried to get Ella on his side!" Tyler told her. As he said this, clips of Dawn getting voted out, and Alejandro flirting with Ella during the bike challenge are shown.

"I concur with Anne Maria." Xena said. "Alejandro has played the game like a master stratagen. Logic dictates that the one best at the game should win."

"But Ella's so nice…" Tyler trailed.

/

. Jo is shown lounging in a chair by the pool, Max sat in the one next to her. "So Jo, Max," Chris said as approached the teens. " give us your take on Ella."

"Ella." Max spat the name like it was poison. "I am evil incarnate.I am the enemy of nice, and Ella is the nicest. Therefore she is my mortal enemy!" He declared.

"Can it dwarf!" Jo snapped. "Princess is naive and loyal to a fault, the perfect peon. Of course it would have helped if she didn't fraternize with someone."

The shot zoomed out to show a nearby Dawn petting bunny. "Ella has the most beautiful aura I've ever seen." She said, ignoring the jockette's comment. "She's a sensitive soul with a deep connection to nature. She's kind and tolerant to everyone, even Amy.

"Her biggest flaw is her traditionalism. It took her awhile for her to realize she liked me." Ella's confessional after the phobia factor challenge is shown. "And even longer for her to come to terms with it." Ella and Dawn kissing on the Bass' porch is shown.

"The fact she's still in is proof of her kind nature." Dawn concluded.

"Please, she's only in the final seven because of Tweedle Dee." Jo said with a dismissive wave. "Tweedle Dee might not have been the most loyal peon but you have to admire her deviousness."

/

"Amy's been treating me horribly for years. I still can't believe she's in the final seven." Sammy sighed from her spot at the bar with Ellody, Geoff had joined them.

"I must admit-" As Ellody spoke a couple clips were shown, Amy doing her cheer at the talent show. then Amy tripping Sammy before the phobia factor challenge. "After seeing her verbally and emotionally abusing you, watching you stand up to her was cathartic." Sammy's triumphant speech is shown.

"Yeah she was like, majorly harsh." Geoff agreed. "The first time you got voted out it was a tie, and Chris is the only one who'd keep Amy over you."

"That's something I'm confused about. At the time there were only eight Bass left. We know Jo's alliance voted for you, and I can't see anyone else voting you out. If it was tied then only three people voted for Amy. So what were the other votes?" Ellody asked.

"Noah and I voted for Ella." Crimson deadpanned as the camera zoomed out to show her also at the bar. "We found her singing annoying."

Sammy sighed. "I'm just glad I had Trent to support me."

"Yeah Trent's such a chill dude." Geoff agreed. "He wrote that song for you." Trent playing the guitar at the talent show is shown. "Told us to hold him down and force feed him grasshopper pizza, just so we wouldn't lose," The clip of Duncan holding the guitarist as Geoff stuffed the pizza into his mouth is shown. "And looked for Kitty and me during the horror challenge." Trent running off after hearing the recording of Kitty's scream is shown. "He's the best.

/

"Trent? He's almost as nice as Ella!" Max complained, still sunbathing, though it was now Anne Maria next to him. "I loathe niceness so obviously I'm not a fan!"

"No one cares what you think!" Anne Maria snapped. "Anyway Trent might not be as hot as Alejandro but he does have the whole musician thing going on for him. He's a bit pale though. Give him a tan and he might be worth my time."

Lightning entered the scene still carrying the lamppost. "Lightning just doesn't get why he's still in the game and Lightning isn't. Lightning's way stronger than that dude."

Jo walked through the scene carrying a plate of steaks. "You lost Brightning get over yourself!"

"Well Jo who do you think deserves to be in the game the least?" Chris asked from offscreen.

"Like its even close. Braids should've gotten the boot long ago." Jo began. "She failed the phobia challenge," Amber failing to face her fear of praying mantises was shown. "got distracted by Al during the cliff climbing trust challenge." Amber seeing Alejandro's naked chest and falling from the cliff is shown. "Gave up first during the military challenge." Amber ringing the bell with her head is shown. "Got distracted by Al again during the sports challenge, which we only won because of her hair style." Amber dropping the flags, then one flag being found in her braids is shown. "And then got mad when I pointed out how useless she was. "Amber yelling at Jo just before the brunch of disgustingness is shown.

"Seriously how she's still in the game is beyond me." Jo finished.

/

"Amber was really nice." Sammy began still sitting at the bar, Dawn had returned to sit with her. Still holding bunny. "She let me sleep in the other side of the cabin, away from Amy. She gave me her prize after the treasure hunt challenge and called me her friend. Trent aside I want her to win."

"I only wish she didn't like Alejandro." Ellody added. "He's just going to break her heart."

"He likely will, though his aura showed me he has some actual affection for her. Last I saw it was being clouded by ambition and desire to win." Dawn said

"Wait Alejandro actually likes her back?" Sammy asked.

"He likely will not realize it until it's too late." Dawn said sadly.

"Amber was okay." Crimson agreed, as the camera zoomed out to show her in the pool.

"Yeah, well we all know who you want to win." Sammy teased. Crimson said nothing but glanced away nervously.

/

"Noah?" Tyler asked now in the hot tub with Camron. "He was mean. Like everything that came out of his mouth was sarcastic and cruel.".

"True but he's not as bad as you think." Camron began. "He did drag me back to the mess hall during the awakeathon," A flashback showed Noah walking past Camron when the bubble boy weakly gripped his ankle. He sighed and reluctantly began to drag him. Then the footage skipped to him dragging Camron into the mess hall. "He could have left me to get heat exhaustion."

"True." Tyler conceded.

"I didn't like the mouthy little geek at first." Duncan began, now lounging in the pool with Geoff. "And getting shot at during the paintball game didn't improve my opinion." Noah shooting Duncan with paintballs just before the delinquent threw him off the cliff was shown. "But after we smuggled food out of Chef's kitchen," Noah putting an apple core in the fridge then the two running away with bags of food is shown. "We kinda clicked. I wouldn't call us friends but I respect him."

"Lightning still doesn't get why nerd girl beat him." The football jock commented as he passed by, with his lamppost. "Have you seen Scott?" The two boys in the hottub shrugged. "Let know if you see him." Lightning told them before leaving.

"Noah's cool. I wish he'd smile more though." Geoff sighed.

/

"Kitty was most enjoyable to be around." Dawn noted still at the bar. "Her aura is full of passion for life, as well as kindness, and a level tolerance only surpassed by Ella. She was one of my only friends on the team."

"Ugh another nice contestant?!" Max interjected, as the camera zoomed out to show him now at the bar. "Why are so many of the nice contestants still in the game?"

"Well most people don't want to vote out the likable contestants." Dawn replied. "Besides you're pretty nice yourself Max."

"How dare you!" Max cried. A white arm came out of the water under his stool. :I am evil incarnate!" The arm gripped the 'evil' man's ankle and he screamed as he was pulled in.

"Crimson try not to scare him too much." Dawn requested.

"It's just so fun." The goth deadpanned as she surfaced with a sputtering Max.

/

"Kit Kat is so fun." Duncan noted, as he and Geoff lounged by the pool. "Hot too. I remember when she helped me face my fear." Kitty's pep talk as Duncan stared down a Celene Dion music store standee is shown. "I mean she poisoned me later on, but she was cool about it." Duncan eating Kitty's fugu and collapsing was shown.

"Kitty's my pick to win. She's like so free spirited and creative." Geoff said as Kitty's posing at the talent show is shown.

"You're lucky to have her man." Duncan agreed.

"I've been wondering. Why do you call her Kit Kat anyway?" The party dude asked. As he and Duncan got out of the pool.

"Well her name is Kitty so it fits." Duncan began. "And no matter what she's always willing to give you a break."

"Okay, that makes a lot of sense." Geoff nodded. The two stared at the sight before him. Lightning was trapped in a net with a ton of burgers, steaks, and sausages. "Do we want to know?" Duncan asked.

"Lightning saw a bunch of protein was going to waste and he was tired from chasing Scott so he grabbed some." The football jock explained as he ate a burger. "It was a trap set by Scott. Lightning doesn't even care. This protein is sha-sweet."

Duncan and Geoff shrugged.

/

The scene flash to a light blue screen as soothing music played in the background. The camera panned up to show most of the campers sitting at the pool's edge. A small boombox had been set up near the pool, and this was where the music was coming from. It was night and the resort behind them was lit up. There was a gap between the campers in front of the door.

On right side of the gap sat a happy Sammy, and serene Dawn. Camron sat next to the moonchild, and Harold next to him. Then Ellody, and finally a deadpan Crimson.

The first to the left of the gap was Lightning who was eating a sausage from earlier. Then an emotionless Xena, and a smiling Tyler. Behind those three stood Duncan and Geoff. To the left of the jock sat a scowling Jo. On the end sat Scott, who was whittling.

Max slid into the gap between Sammy and Lightning. He looked a little traumatized. "Are you okay?" The twin asked.

"Evil does not need your sympathy!" Crimson glanced at him. He froze, she looked away and he heaved a sigh of relief.

"So," Geoff asked from his spot, as a light yet dramatic tune played. "who do you guys want to win if you could vote right now?"

"Obviously Lightning is voting for Lightning! Who else would he want to win this?" The jock asked.
"Please, you need ta be in the final seven ta get a vote. Otherwise I'd vote for myself too." Anne Maria told him, floating into the scene on a purple inflatable pool chair.

"Oh. Well Lightning doesn't know then. They're all a bunch of losers." The football jock said.

"I think Tweedle Dee should win." Jo said.

"Didn't she totally stab you in the back and steal your alliance after you were gone?" Scott pointed out.

"Exactly. She beat me, and if she beat me then she has to win. It'd be one thing to lose to some random chump, but if I'm losing I'm losing to the winner.." Jo explained.

"I fail to see how losing to the winner of the competition makes you feel better." Xena said flatly. "Technically as the last contestant standing everyone has lost to the winner, thereby making you no better than the rest."

"Gee thanks for motivation, Xena." Jo rolled her eyes. "Who do you want to win then?"

"As I have previously stated I believe Alejandro should win." The overlogical girl replied.

"But his actions are morally dubious as best." Camron said.

"Morality is relative and mine are based in logic. Alejandro's actions have been logically sound throughout the entire game."

"Well I'd rather vote for someone nice like Trent or Ella." Camron decided.

"Oh yes, I believe either of the two would be amazing winners." Dawn agreed.

"Please niceness will only get you so far." Scott scoffed, looking up from his whittling. "There's only one winner so you have to be willing to stab people in the back. Since I don't want Al to win, I'd vote for Amy."

"I think Kitty should win." Geoff said

"I think you might be biased." Ellody smirked.

"Kitty does have the charisma to win." Harold agreed. Clips of Kitty posing at the talent show, and encouraging the girls during the brunch of disgustingness were shown.

"And Kit Kat's no slouch in the physical department either," Duncan added. Clips of Kitty during the dodgeball challenge, running after Jo during the paintball challenge, going through Chef's obstacle course, and swimming into the beaver's dam are shown.

"Amber should win." Tyler told them. As he explained a series of Clips showing Alejandro flirting with Amber are shown. "I mean Alejandro's been targeting her all season,and she's still in this."

"She even developed a mutual rivalry with him." Sammy agreed as clips of said rivalry were shown. "Considering how egotistical Alejandro is that's impressive."

"I don't think anyone's giving Noah enough credit." Ellody began. "He has orchestrated a couple eliminations." The footage of Noah making a deal with Trent, then Noah talking to Alejandro and Amber about Duncan is shown.

"And he got Jo to put ants in Amy's bed." Duncan nodded.

"I did that because I wanted to." Jo defended.

"Yeah, but he planted the idea in your head." The delinquent noted.

"I still think Ella or Trent should win. They're both so nice it's hard not to root for them." Sammy smiled.

"Which is why they shouldn't win-" Max started looking like he was going to start ranting. He was unable to continue as Chris appeared in a puff of pink smoke.

" Ha, ha. Okay, losers!" He began. "It is time for the most unexpected twist of all time." As he spoke the music usually used at eliminations began to play. "Tonight you will be voting the next camper off Total Drama Island."

"No way!" Lightning cheered. "So we can vote out anyone?"

"Anyone still left in the game." Chris nodded. "Here how it's gonna work. There are no marshmallows. I'm gonna ask you one by one who you would like to see join you here tonight at Playa Des Losers. Anne Maria you're first. Who would you like to vote for?"

The Camera cut to the Jersey reject. "Well I'd have to say Noah, little twerp deserves to lose." A bell rang.

"Why him? Amy's the real villain." Sammy said. Another bell dinged.

"I don't know what Ella sees in her." Camron shrugged. The bell dinged again causing the campers to gasp.

"That's one vote for Noah, one for Amy, and One for Ella." Chris smirked.

"But you know Camron didn't mean to vote for Ella." Ellody said. The bell dinged yet again.

"Don't care." Chris smirked. "On to the next voter." He looked over to Scott. "Scott?"

"Al." Scott said. There was no ding. "What?"

"You have to say his full name." Chris told him.

Scott groaned. "Alejandro then." another ding went off.

"Max. You're up." Chris told him.

"Obviously I must vote for my nemesis! Ella!" The bell dinged again and Dawn sighed.

"Jo?"Chris asked.

"Br- I mean Amber." The bell dinged. "I hate Alejandro." The bell rang again. "But at least he deserves to be there."

"Wait a moment." Xena began. "Jo just voted twice."

"Excellent!" Max cried. "Ella, Ella, Ella, Ella," The 'evil' man began to repeat.

"Amy, Amy, Amy, Amy," Sammy began to chant. Soon people began to split themselves between those who wanted Amy gone and those who wanted Ella gone. Then there was Jo who still voted for Amber, and Anne Maria, who voted for Noah.

Chris' face grew more and more annoyed. "SHUT UP!" He finally yelled. Everyone quieted down. "Okay I'm not even gonna try to calculate this, but way more people voted for Amy or Ella. So it's down to them. Next vote breaks the tie. "

There was silence as everyone stared each other down. Tense music began to build but it was quickly stopped as the camera landed on a blue parrot perched on the back of a pool chair. "Rawk! Polly wanna Ella." The bell dinged for the final time and several people groaned.

/

The ominous but reverent music that usually played after an elimination began to play as a shocked Ella was pushed down the dock of shame to the boat of losers by Chef. The scene transition to Ella and her bags on the dock of Playa Dos Losers still shocked.

"And with that," Chris told the camera as he approached the girl. "we're down to Six. Tune in next week to see the dramatic almost conclusion of Total. Drama. Island!" As he spoke Ella looked from the host to the camera.

"Rawk! Ella." The parrot squawked from off screen.

Chapter Text

"Last time on Total Drama Island…" A shot of the resort mansion is shown as the recap began, followed by several shots of the campers, Geoff and Duncan lounging by the pool, Tyler diving, Sammy, Dawn, and Elodie at the bar, and Xena at the grill. " In a special episode, we visited the kicked off campers at the Resort of Rejects. Playa Des Losers!" Chris arriving at the resort transitioned into the next set of clips. "We learned that Harold and Camron hit it off." The two nerds are shown hanging in the hot tub. "Dawn's still doing the creepy aura thing," The moonchild is shown sitting at the bar as Crimson denies blushing. "And Lightning's mad at Scott for setting him up." The football jock is shown running after Scott with the lamppost.

"In a shocking twist," The footage skipped to all the contestants gathered at the pool as Chris addressed them. "We let the losers vote off one of the final seven campers." The flurry of votes was shown, beginning with Max, and Sammy chanting and ending with the parrot's squawk. "and in an even more shocking twist, it was Ella who found herself in Loserville, population: sixteen." Chef was shown pushing the princess wannabe down the dock of shame.

"Who will be voted off this week in the most dramatic campfire ceremony yet?" Chris is shown on the dock of shame as usual to close out the recap. "Find out tonight on Total. Drama. Island!"

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode proper begins with a shot of the two cabins. The music starts out cheerful before shifting to an ominous tone as the camera cuts inside the girl's cabin to show Amy sleeping in her bed. She's clearly having a nightmare. A ripple effect takes the scene to Amy's dream.

Amy was in a stereotypical 19th century village. It was dim and she was running through the village with Ella's hand in hers. They were both wearing a bonnet and dress, as was normal for the time. A large crowd of villagers wielding torches and pitchforks were running after them. A mob. They ran through the streets of the city, trying to lose the mob. Amy looked ahead and her face brightened. there was the docks. If they could make it there they could get away! They put on speed the mob at their heels desperate to get to the dock. They made it to the dock only for a boat to dock. Amy turned and saw the mob had come from all other directions. It was an ambush!

She heard Ella cry out and saw a villager that looked like Chef dragging Ella onto the docked ship. Amy tried to grab her, but the mob surrounded her as Amy watched the boat take Ella away. When the mob parted Amy was tied to a stake with wood as the bottom. She struggled against her bonds, but could not escape. A villager that looked like Chris stepped out of the mob and began to direct some of its members. Five Villagers stepped from the mob, each looking like one of the remaining contestants. Amber Noah, Alejandro, Kitty, and Trent, they each held a lit torch.

Amy began to redouble her efforts to escape, knowing what they would do. She spotted a girl in the front of the mob. She was watching the proceedings. She looked exactly like Amy except she had no beauty mark. "Samey! Help me! I'm your sister!"

Sammy shook her head as everyone looked at her. "This witch is no sister of mine."

That was when her stake was set alight. As the flames rose all she could see was her sister. Smiling.

The dream disappeared in a puff of smoke as Noah's voice is heard complaining. "Does your sadism ever cease?!"

Amy blinked awake, and the camera cut outside the boys cabin. Where the three remaining boys stood in their nightwear. "What had interrupted my beauty sleep?" Alejandro wondered.

The girls are shown exiting their cabin all still tired. "Oh come on! I'd rather deal with the airhorn! At least the noise stops!" Amber groaned. She looked up at the source of the disturbance.

"Welcome back to Total Drama Island! " Chris told the camera from his helicopter. "Over the past six weeks, we've watched sixteen campers push themselves to the" limit! And they get their butts kicked off the island by their fellow campers! Sucks to be you!"

Chris began to list them off one by one, each name accompanied by a short clip. "Max." Jo threatening the 'evil' man was shown. "Lightning." Lightning refusing to apologize is shown. "Tyler." He hit his own team with a dodgeball. "Ellody." She's shown plugging in the speakers. "Anne Maria. "She's shown spraying her hair. "Samey." She and Amy are shown staring each other down at elimination. "Harold." He's shown covered in paint. "Amy." She and Trent are shown arguing. "Scott." He's shown sabotaging the canoes. "Dawn." She's shown kissing Ella. "Xena" She's shown breaking her ankle. "Lightning again." He's shown being unable to believe he lost. "Duncan. "He carves a skull into the cabin wall. "Jo." She's shown yelling at Amy. "Sammy again." She's shown pushing Amy into the water. "Geoff." He's shown arriving on the island. "Crimson." She's shown shooting a racoon with a tranquilizer dart. "And Ella." Ella is shown being pushed down the dock of shame.

"Only six campers remain." Chris said as the montage ended and he was shown walking away from his landed helicopter. "and after six weeks of bugs, crappy camp food, and even grosser bathrooms," He continued as the annoyed campers came into view. "our six finalists are about this close to losing it." Chris bent his index finger and thumb close to each other to illustrate his point. "We strove to come up with the best way to help the campers destress," He put his hands behind his back and smiled. "then decided it would be way more fun to handcuff them together," He pulled out a pair of handcuffs. "and see if we couldn't push them over the edge."

"Didn't know you were into that Chris." Noah snarked.

" It's all in the name of today's challenge: The Tri-Armed Triathlon!" Chris announced ignoring the cynic.

"So a three legged race, arm edition?" Amber asked.

"Yes!" The host confirmed. " Three challenges, three teams of two, three arms per team."

"Have you met these people? I don't want to be handcuffed to any of them!" Amy complained.

"Winning team members both get invincibility from tonight's vote." Chris told them.

(Confessional)

Noah: Six weeks of terrible food,hackneyed challenges, and annoying co competitors. They are driving me crazy. Alejandro's a narcissist, every moment Trent isn't reminiscing about Sammy he's complaining about Amy, Amy is Amy, and then there's Kitty. I don't know why, but ever since Geoff got voted out, she's been hanging around me all the time. She keeps telling me I comfort her. How? Wouldn't Alejandro be better at that? Even if he'd be lying the whole time? At least Amber's normal.

Static

Amy: (she's crying, then remembers the confessional camera is on.) I'm not upset! You can't prove it! (She sighed) Okay I am upset. My only friend got voted out by the losers! Ella is the sweetest, nicest person ever and they voted her out! Yet they have the gall to say I'm a terrible person? And the others aren't helping. Especially Trent. The only person who tried to show me sympathy is Kitty, and Trent told her I didn't deserve it. It's bad enough that he broke my heart for Samey of all people, he thinks I don't care about Ella! Ella if you're watching this, I promise to make every last loser pay for voting you out!

Static

Trent: I came on this show to make friends, maybe even meet the girl of my dreams… and I did, but my girlfriend got unfairly eliminated and most of the others are well- It's not like I don't like most of them. It's just Alejandro keeps trying to talk strategy with me, Noah is sort of my friend but his snark isn't what I need right now, and then there's Amy. I think she's the first person I've truly hated. How can you be so cruel to your own sister? She's trying to play the sympathy card but I don't buy it. KItty and Amber are cool though.

Static

Amber: Honestly I like most of the people , and Kitty are friendly with me and Noah's friendly in his own sarcastic way. Amy is a nightmare to deal with. I'm so glad I'm not sleeping in her cabin. The real problem is, you guessed it, Alejandro. He's really turned up the charm since our last challenge. He's been flirting even more than usual. This would be fine If I thought he actually meant it. I'm pretty sure he just wants me so he can get a majority vote. (She sighs.) I just wish I could get over him already!

Static

Alejandro: Five people remain. If I help Trent get rid of Amy, he'll be on my side. Then all I need is to secure Amber's loyalty. I'll have the majority of the remaining votes. Of course if push comes to shove I'll get rid of Trent first. Amber's far too valuable to me. (He catches himself) Because she'll be easier to manipulate of course!

(Noah's voice comes from outside.) Noah: If that's the reason, I'm the queen of England.

/

The confessional cut to the mess hall, where the camera panned over three groups of two all handcuffed together. Amy and Trent on the right, Alejandro and Amber in the middle, and Noah and Kitty on the left.

" First of our three challenges, competitive chow-down." Chris said as the camera briefly zoomed out to include him in the shot.

"Don't even think about making me eat this Trent." Amy glared.

"Oh of course not, you shouldn't have to do anything ever!" The guitarist glared back.

"Just try not to lose for us!" The mean twin scoffed.

"Each team will choose a feeder," The host explained. "And an eater. Eaters must put their hands behind them, making it more difficult for the feeders." The camera panned over the contestants. Amber and Alejandro both looked nervous, Amy and Trent were glaring at each other, and Noah remained deadpan while Kitty looked confident.

"One last thing." Chris continued as he pulled out a gold colored, skull bowed key from his pocket and held it aloft. "This is the wimp key. A skeleton key that will open any handcuffs." As he explained an image of handcuffs overlaying a yellow and orange background are shown opening when tapped by the wimp key. "You'll be offered the wimp key at each challenge to unshackle yourselves from your teammate." Trent glanced at the chain between Amy and himself, then turned Chris as the host continued. "But… if you choose to accept it, you'll both be eliminated."

"How do we win?" Noah asked.

The camera panned left to show Chris moving closer to the table to answer. "Chef's getting platters for each team. Title goes to the team who finishes their platter of delicacies fastest."

"Well I'm not eating it!" Amy scowled.

"You know I have a weak stomach right? If you don't eat we'll lose!" Trent told her. "Which is fine by me I guess since, I'll be able to vote you off!"

Amy sighed. "Fine, but only because I don't want to lose."

/

"I might be a bit squeamish." Amber began. "But it's pretty clear your stomach is made of paper. So I guess I'll do the eating.

"Gracias Chica. You're so thoughtful." The charmer smirked.

"I'm just being strategic." The bookworm retorted.

/

"You did well during the eating challenge, and I should be able to manage shoveling food into your mouth so your be the eater." Noah told Kitty.

The selfie lover smirked. "Sure if you can keep up with me."

"Just don't go overboard. I need both arms to give you the Heimlich." Noah replied.

/

The footage flashed ahead to show Amy and Trent still locked in glares with each other as Amber looked on with disinterest. Chef dropped a platter in front of each team. Each had four dishes on them. Something shaped like a cake dripping in a red sauce, a bowl of yellow orange mush, something mostly obscured with a fruit topping, and a green chicken. All of the food looked like it was growing hair.

"Why is the chicken green?!" Alejandro asked in disgust.

"M-maybe it's not actually chicken? Chris can't give us food poisoning? Right?" Amber worried.

"Ugh! I can't even!" Amy looked like he was ready to vomit already.

"Hey this looks like actual food! I think it might taste good." Kitty noted. Noah examined the food but said nothing.

A quick cut took the focus to Trent and Amy. The blonde pouted and put her hands behind her back, this caused Trent to lean over a slight amount. The other teams followed suit. Kitty smirked at Noah who rolled his eyes, while Amber blushed as Alejandro raised a suggestive eyebrow.

/

A drumroll opened the background music for the challenge. We see Trent is shoving food into Amy's mouth angrily, the cheerleader's cheek bulged as her mouth got fuller and fuller. She managed to swallow only for more food to be shoved in her mouth.

"You know I think this food is better than what they normally serve us." Kitty noted between bites.

"Less talking, more chewing." Noah told her, giving her another spoonful.

"We need to pick up the pace." Alejandro told his partner.

"Stop complaining and just shove it into my mouth!" Amber retorted. Her eyes widened and she blushed. "The food! I meant the food!"

Trent was still shoving food into Amy's mouth with reckless abandon. They both had specks of food on them. The blonde's cheeks continue to bulge, her face now panicked rather than angry.

"Oh this cheesecake is great!" Kitty said quickly, Noah shoved another spoonful of something in her mouth.

"That's great, I don't need commentary." Noah snarked.

Amy gagged and began to cough up food and saliva onto her unwitting partner.

The footage skipped ahead to show Alejandro and Amber have nearly finished, with only a portion of the chicken remaining. The bookworm's face was tinged green.

The camera panned left to show Noah and Kitty were nearly finished as well. Unlike Amber, Kitty remained as healthy looking as ever. Due to this Noah was able to shove the last remaining drumstick into her mouth finishing the challenge for their team.

The challenge music ended and Chris' close up is shown. "The winner's are… Noah and Kitty!"

"Alright! Good job Noah! We make a great team!" Kitty cheered.

"Uh...Thanks?" the cynic replied with a questioning look.

(Confessional)

Noah: I don't know why Kitty's being so friendly with me. I mean, sure she's friendly with everyone, but this feels different somehow.

Static

Alejandro: A pity Amber and I could not win this challenge, but I have faith we can win the next two. (He puts on a charming smile.) And I'd just like to tell those voted out that I mean you no ill will. I realize my methods have not always been morally upstanding, but I assure you it's nothing personal. I simply wish to win the game. You can understand that. I hope we can end things on positive terms.

Static

/

Back in the mess hall Amber groaned and her cheeks bulged. "I don't think that chicken agreed with me."

A flash transition shows Amber running to the communal bathrooms, dragging Alejandro behind her. The door slammed and the sounds of violent puking can be heard from inside.

(Confessional)

Amber: (In an extra close shot) Ooh. I'm so sorry Alejandro. I didn't mean to make you sick too.

(The camera pulls out to show the spaniard with a suspiciously full barf bag.)

Alejandro: It's not your fault chica. I would have gotten queasy far sooner than you did.

Amber: Hopefully the next challenges will be to our strengths.

Static

/

The confessional cut to a shot of the ever so tempting wimp key being dangled by a just off screen Chris. "Last chance for the tempting wimp key before part two!" The host announced as the camera zoomed out to show he was on the dock of shame with the contestants.

"Go for it Amy, I'd love to vote you out!" Trent glared at the blonde. She glared back.

"So uh, you wanna go for it? I know this can't be comfortable for you." Amber told Alejandro.

"Nonsense. Being this close to you is worth any discomfort." Alejandro flirted.

(Confessional)

Amber: How can I focus when there's a perfect specimen of manhood attached to my arm!

Static
"So what's the challenge Chris?" KItty asked.

"On the beach, you will find three canoes. " Chris began, pointing over his shoulder. The camera panned to show three formerly Bass canoes on the shore. "One for each team. Your challenge is to paddle your canoe, while wearing handcuffs," He dangled the wimp key again and chuckled. "All the way to Boney Island." Said island was quickly shown before the view returned to the docks. "Once there, you will open a package that is waiting for you. Go!" At his call, all three teams ran past, knocking the host over.

/

Amy and Trent reached their canoe first. "I'm sitting in front!" The cheerleader said.

"If I remember correctly you don't know how to paddle." Trent retorted.

"So? It can't be that hard!" She snapped back.

"I'll be steering. You just be quiet. We all know you hate work anyway." Trent told her.

/

Amber and Alejandro are shown pushing their canoe into the lake. They climb in and head off.

The camera panned back to show Noah and Kitty were struggling. Noah was struggling to move his side of the canoe an inch. "Maybe I should push the canoe, you just follow behind." Kitty suggested.

"If you insist." The cynic smirked.

/

A flash transition showed Kitty and Noah now rowing across the lake. "Hey Kitty?" Noah began.

"Yeah?" The selfie lover replied.

"Why have you been hanging around me so much lately? I'm not empathic and quite frankly I find all your stories about Geoff annoying. Wouldn't you rather be around Trent, or Alejandro?" Noah asked.

"You comfort me more." Kitty told him.

"How?" Noah asked irately. "How could I possibly comfort you more?"

"You remind me of my sister." Kitty admitted. Noah fell silent. "The fact that you're a know it all, your snarky nature, the way you don't usually care, but when you do it's deeply, even if you try to hide it. All of those are traits my sister Emma has. I don't know, I guess after Geoff left, I found some comfort in how familiar your personality feels to me."

Noah sighed. "Fine but don't expect me to get sentimental."

"I wouldn't have it any other way." Kitty smiled.

/

Alejandro and Amber are rowing their canoe. The charmer paused and gave her a handsome grin. "Chica I believe we could be-" He began.

"Stop it." Amber snapped at him. "Seriously. I like you, a lot, but I'm sick of this game of cat and mouse we've been stuck in! I'm tired of you flirting with me when I don't even think you like me! I'm tired of pretending I don't like you back! I'm tired of having to remind myself what a manipulative person you are! Just treat me like another contestant! An obstacle you have to overcome. That's clearly all you think of me!"

Alejandro looked taken aback. "Chica I never meant-"

"Just leave me alone for a minute." Amber sighed.

/

"Seriously could you do less work!" Trent snapped, not even noticing their boat had made it to boney island.

"I'm sorry I thought you wanted to steer!" Amy retorted.

"Rowing the canoe is just extra manpower." Trent noticed something in the distance and leaned over to point it out. "We're almost to shore! I see the packages!"

/

The footage skipped ahead to show the two on the island holding a green backpack. The same backpack from the slasher challenge. The music built to a peak as Amy opened the bag and screamed. A low rattling sound accompanied a close up of a piece of the cursed statue. Dirt began blowing around them as Chris arrived in a helicopter.

"Welcome to the second part of the second challenge!" Chris told them through his red megaphone. "Back in episode eight, your teammate Scott stole the Boney Island tiki doll, and planted it on Geoff!" As Chris explained this clips of Scott discovering the statue and planting it in Geoff's stuff is shown.

"He said he got rid of it!" Alejandro exclaimed as he and Amber arrived.

"He did by breaking it up and flushing it down the septic tank!" Chris told them.

"Eww!" All six of the contestants complained, holding the pieces away from them. "I know! The pieces in those packs need to be returned to the cave." a cave somewhere on boney island was shown. "of treacherous terror. And you'll wanna do a double quick," The shot cut back to Chris. "'cause the longer you have the doll, the worse your luck!"

Noah and Kitty finally arrived. "Oh yeah, one of you has to piggyback the other!" The contestants gasped and Chris began to leave. "Enjoy!"

The pairs looked at each other. "Hop on chica. I'm more suited to carry you." Alejandro said. Amber sighed but climbed on.

The camera zoomed out to show the other teams."Come on Noah! I bet you hardly weigh anything!" Kitty offered. Noah climbed on her back. "Wow I've had backpacks heavier than you! This'll be a cinch!" With that Kitty ran off.

"Well I'm not carrying you." Amy scoffed.

"Aren't you a cheerleader?" Trent asked.

"Yes, but I never held up Samey. She held me up." Amy explained.

"Of course." Trent sighed, picking the cheerleader up.

/

The footage skipped to show Alejandro stopping in the middle of the woods. "Why are we stopping? Are we lost? We're lost aren't we?!" Amber panicked.

"Shh. Chica we are not lost. I know exactly where we are." Alejandro explained.

"Then why did we stop?!" The bookworm yelled, getting down from his shoulders. "Don't you want to win? Or is losing all part of your plot to lure me into an alliance?!"

"Chica I merely wanted to talk with you alone. I still think we'd make a good team. You have a vast amount of knowledge,and a strategic mind. I couldn't think of anyone more suited to work with."

Amber sighed. "Alejandro I don't mind working with you."

The charmer looked taken aback. "Truly?"

"No, from a strategic point of view it would benefit us both, but I'll only do it on one condition." Amber told him.

Alejandro raised a brow. "And that is?"

"You can't flirt with me. I can't handle the juxtaposition between what you say and how you feel about me." The bookworm pleaded.

Alejandro paused. Then shook his head. "I'm sorry chica, but I cannot do that."

"Why not?!" Amber snapped back.

Alejandro held up a finger. "I- don't actually know." He frowned.

"Well you'd better figure it out, because this offer only lasts until the end of the challenge." Amber climbed back onto his back. "Now we've wasted enough time."

/

Tense music played as the scene cut to the sun shining down on the conifers making up the forest, The camera panned down just as Kitty and Noah ran into view. "There's the cave!" Noah called.

Kitty continued forward, just as she reached the mouth of the cave she skidded to a stop. A large purple spider had made its web in the mouth of the cave. Kitty tried to keep her resolve, but the spider lowered itself onto her face. She screamed and ran away.

Shortly after Trent and Amy arrived. "Hey we're here first!" Trent smiled. They ran a few steps into the cave, then a trio of irate wooley beavers exited the cave. Trent froze.

"What's the hold up?!" Amy yelled at him. She noticed the beavers and gasped. "Trent?"

"Yeah?" The guitarist replied.

"I think we should-" Amy's sentience was interrupted by the beaver's bearing their fangs.

"Run!" The guitarist screamed. Doing just that.

The tense music tapered off as the camera zoomed closer to a bush. Alejandro came around it. "I hope you're happy with that break Alejandro because there's no way were winning now!"

"I don't think anyone has been here yet chica." Alejandro smirked. Then he threw the statue piece underhanded into the cave.

"Alright! We did it!" Amber cried, Alejandro smiled up at her.

(Confessional)

Alejandro: Why am I hesitating to take Amber's deal. Her being in an alliance is what I wanted right? Her conditions aren't even that hard. Yet somehow I cannot bring myself to agree.

/

The confessional cut to Chris in front of a totem pole. "And that's a point for the argumentative lovebirds, Alejandro and Amber!" He announced. The camera pulled back to reveal each team was seated at picnic tables with magenta cloths covering something.

"We're not lovebirds!" Amber snapped. Alejandro opened his mouth. "Don't you start!"

"So," Chris continued, giving the camera finger gung and ignoring Amber's outburst. "an awesome day, huh? Moldy food fights, carnivorous beavers. But, it's time for someone to win this thing." He walked over to Kitty and Noah, who were sitting at the far left table. "A point each for everyone but Amy and Trent." The camera panned to the sour team on the far right. "who could still pull a stopper. Today's final challenge…" With a flourish he removed the magenta cloth.

"Woah! The heads of every former camper, cool!" Kitty cried. As she had said the wooden heads of every former contestant were on the table.

"Speak for yourself." Noah scowled, picking up two Lighting heads. "One was bad enough."

The camera returned to Chris. " The totem pole of shame and humiliation." A flash transition takes us to a downward pan across a stack of heads, beginning with Max and ending with Ella. "Your task? Assemble the heads in the order in which your comrades were voted out. " He explained, then dangled the wimp key. "Unless you want the wimp key!" He didn't give any of the contestants time to answer. "Time for heads to roll! " He said, blowing a whistle to start the challenge.

/

The focus is on Amber and Alejandro at their table. "Okay so we tossed Max first." The bookworm said, placing the head down on the table.

"And we got rid of Lightning first." Alejandro continued placing the jock's head on top.

"Then Tyler screwed up during the dodgeball game." Amber said, placing the clumsy jock's head next.

"Ah Ellody, one of Scott's many victims." Alejandro said sadly. He picked up Anne Maria's head next. "As was Anne Maria." He placed her on top.

"You know we make a pretty good team when you're not flirting with me." Amber told him, pointedly.

"Look I can't promise that!" Alejandro told her.

"And why not?!" Amber retorted.

"I like flirting with you!" Alejandro replied, as though he'd just realized it.

"You like toying with my emotions?!" The bookworm yelled.

/

The camera cut to Noah and Kitty, both of whom were much calmer. They had already managed to stack the first seven heads. "So your team lost the paintball challenge. Who left?" Noah asked.

"Harold." Kitty sighed, placing him on top. "I didn't want to vote him out, but Scott pointed out Geoff and I were on the chopping block.

"Getting rid of Amy was so satisfying." Noah chuckled, adding the next head. "You should have seen the look on Jo's face when she realized we'd voted her out. I was so sick of her being in charge. You'll notice she didn't make the final six."

"Then we finally got rid of Scott." Kitty scoffed. "Give my boyfriend and cursed idol will you?!" She said slamming the deviant's head on the pile.

Chris walked by behind him. "Let's see what our most argumentative team is up to. " He told the camera as he approached Amy and Trent. He quirked an eyebrow as he noted the two arguing over one specific head.

"I'm not letting you vandalize my girlfriend's head." Trent told Amy as the camera leaned in to show the head they were fighting over as one of Sammy's. The other had an x on it in red marker.

"She deserves it!" Amy scoffed.

"I wish she was here instead of you! You're nowhere as nice as her!" Trent retorted.

"You know what Trent?! I thought you were different! I thought you viewed people as individuals, but you're just like everyone else! Comparing me to my twin sister!" With that Amy threw the head they were fighting over at Chris in anger. The host wobbled and fell over.

A quick pan took the focus back to Amber and Alejandro. "I should've voted you out long ago!" The charmer was saying.

"Well why didn't you!" The bookworm retorted.

"Perhaps I will! It's not like I'll miss you yelling at me, or your tenacity, your fiery anger when someone has wronged you, your eloquent way of speaking-" The sentence began in anger but the further into it Alejandro got, the more soft it became. A look of realization dawned on him.

"Whatever. Where's the wimp key?!" Amber said, trying to storm off. Alejandro didn't budge, so she couldn't go either.

The camera panned over to Noah and Kitty's table as the selfie lover placed a head off screen. "We have a wiener!" Chris slurred. Popping up between the two and holding their handcuffs high. He was still unsteady from having Sammy's head thrown at him, but continued his hosting duties nonetheless, as triumphant music played in the background. "Nitty and Koah take it! They win invincibility. So don't vote for them." He fell back to the ground.

"Yes! We make a great team!" Kitty exclaimed, moving to hug the cynic, who cringed. "Oh right, personal space. Got it."

/

Trent: Amy is the worst person I've ever met, and today has just made my desire to take her down stronger. I don't know how she got this far in the competition, but I know I can't let her make it to the end. Sammy's counting on me to take her down, and I will.

Amy: Please, I'm making it all the way to the top, especially now that I know Trent is as bad as everyone else is.

Static

"You've all cast your votes and made your decision." Chris said over the standard shot of the island at night. "The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight," The camera zoomed in and cut to the campfire. "must immediately return to the Dock of Shame to catch the Boat of Losers." The boat was shown already docked and waiting, then the camera cut back to the host. "That means you're out of the contest. And you can't come back. Ever." The shot pulled back to show the tray of sweets in Chris' hands. "First marshmallows go to our invincibility winners Noah and Kitty." The cynic caught his with a smirk, and Kitty beamed as she caught hers.

"Four campers are left," Chris continued, holding up the same number of fingers. "but only three marshmallows. The next marshmallow goes to… Trent." The guitarist caught his and gave Amy a smug look. "Amy." Chris called next, and the cheerleader gave Trent a taunting smirk.

Amber and Alejandro's eyes widened in realization, then the two glared at each other. "Yep. That's one surefire way to wipe a smile off a camper's face. " Chris said happily. "Show them a plate with exactly one marshmallow on it."

(Confessional)

Trent: I have to vote out Amy, she can't escape forever!

Static

Kitty: I don't want to vote for you, but Noah pointed out what a threat you could be. Also if he's right, you're going to get at least one other vote.

Static

Noah: Nothing personal, it's just strategy.

Static

Alejandro: I have to vote out Amber. I cannot allow feelings to throw me off my game. Surely she'd understand right? (He chuckled bitterly.) Showing weakness over a girl, how Jose would laugh.

Static

The confessional cut back to Chris behind his makeshift podium a marshmallow in between his fingers. " I'm left with just one marshmallow for the night. And either Amber or Alejandro is about to go home." The music swelled as the two rivals glared at each other, though there was something off about Alejandro's. "The last marshmallow of the night goes to…Alejandro. Amber it's time for you to go,"

Amber sighed. "You voted for me over Alejandro?"

"Look Amber, with Trent and Amy at each other's throats, Kitty immune, and Alejandro's likability severely compromised. You're the biggest threat to winning." Noah explained.

"No hard feelings, I just want to win." Kitty told her.

"And let me guess Alejandro voted for me too." She said looking at the charmer who couldn't look her in the eye. "Well, since I'm out of the competition anyway…" Amber stepped forward and Alejandro tensed up. She gripped his shoulders and kissed him passionately. Alejandro's eyes were wide in surprise at first, but slowly closed as he got into the kiss. Amber pulled back and smirked at the look on his face. "I've been wanting to do that since the cooking challenge."

Amber walked to the boat of loser as smiled back at Noah and Kitty. "That was a good call, I hope it works out for you." The boat of losers sped off and Alejandro walked to the end of the dock, looking sad,

He began to sing a familiar tune. "I'll take the high road, and you'll take the low road, and I'm sorry that I voted for you, for me and my true love will never meet again," He sighed. "On the bonnie, bonnie banks of Wawawnakwa."

Chapter Text

"Last time on Total Drama island." Chris began, the usual opening shot quickly transitions to brief clips of each of the remaining campers. ""We decided the remaining campers needed a little bonding time, so we handcuffed them together," Chris was shown holding up a pair of handcuffs, followed by the six campers all sitting at the table handcuffed together. "And made them compete in a Tri-armed Triathlon!"

"Amy and Trent really made their hatred for each other known." Trent is shown shoving food down Amy's throat. They're shown arguing in the confessional, and fighting over one of Sammy's wooden heads. "Noah found out why Kitty was comforted by him." The two are shown talking in the canoe. "As for Alejandro and Amber?" The two are shown arguing with each other throughout the day, ending with Alejandro's epiphany. "Well let's just say Amber was done with his flirting."

"While the two lovebirds did win the race to boney island. It was Noah and Kitty who won the eating contest," Kitty cheering about their win while Noah gave her an odd look is shown. "And finished the totem pole of humiliation first." A dazed Chris is shown holding up their arms, along with the totem pole leading out of shot. "Earning the two inviniblity. In the end Alejandro decided he couldn't let Amber distract him anymore, and Noah convinced Kitty to vote her out since she was likable." Alejandro, Noah, and Kitty's confessionals are shown. "So Amber was the one to walk the dock of shame, but not before giving Al something to remember her by." Amber is shown kissing Alejandro. Ending the recap.

"How will the final five handle this week's challenge? Will Amy and Trent kill each other? And how is Alejandro feeling without Amber?" Chris asked from his usual spot on the docks. "Find out on Total. Drama. Island."

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode proper began with a shot of Chris on the docks. It's raining heavily and Chris is under a large black umbrella. "Welcome back to Total Drama Island! " He greeted the viewers with a wave. "This week, we've prepared a bizarre episode full of surprises. For instance, " The camera zoomed in. "take this weather. Rain is not an easy thing to control, let me tell you. But, we figured the four remaining campers were getting off way too easy. So, we pulled some strings, and voila!" The camera pulled out just in time to catch Chris getting shocked by lightning.

/

The scene cut to the cabins, where four of the campers are sitting on the steps of their cabin. Several puddles have accumulated from the heavy rain. The loudspeaker squealed and Chris began to address them. "Listen up, campers! One of the most grueling challenges of any summer camp experience is the dreaded rain day! Where all activities with a remote possibility of fun are canceled in favor of the Craft Tent. The forecast for tomorrow: rain, rain, and more rain," Noah is shown reading a book, While Amy is shown looking bored. She rolls her eyes. "followed by rain!" Trent is shown tuning his guitar while occasionally shooting daggers and Amy. "See you all in the Craft Tent tomorrow," Kitty is painting her nails. "at 0700 hours."

"Ugh. There's nothing to do." Amy complained.

"What, are you bored without your sister here to torment?" Trent dryly scoffed.

"Will you give it a rest Trent? Getting mad at Amy won't bring Sammy back." Noah remarked, turning a page.

"Since when did you care?" Trent frowned.

"Since you wouldn't stop talking about it. We get it. Amy's a sociopath with an inferiority complex. She's not worth your time." The cynic deadpanned.

"I do not have an inferiority complex!" The blonde shrieked.

"Guys, can we please stop arguing?" Kitty sighed. "I bet Alejandro would liven things up."

"Where is Alejandro anyway?" Trent asked.

/

Alejandro: You know, now that Amber's gone, I can't stop thinking about all the things I wished I had said to her. Like how cute her nose wrinkles when she finds something distasteful. How hot she is when angry. How her blush thrills me.(He realizes he's showing weakness) Don't get me wrong I don't regret what I did for a second. Amber was distracting me from what's really important, winning. She has a strategic mind, and I'm pretty sure that's why she wanted me gone too. So I'm sure she'd get it. (He sighs) I cannot show weakness in front of the others. Perhaps I should make use of the confessional. Chris wouldn't show all of it I'm sure.

/

The sound of a clash of thunder returns us to the cabin's. The rain showed no sign of ceasing. The four camper's wordlessly decided to retreat inside. Kitty closed the door to the girls cabin, and Trent did the same for the boy's. A tense tune began.

A flash transition reveals the common area has begun to flood from the torrential downpour. Thus far the cabins remained unmoved, but other parts of camp were not so lucky. A series of objects began to float past, beginning with an adirondack chair. This was followed by the arts and craft center, a family of raccoons on a log, even a gray squirrel atop a periscope. Overhead a red bird flew past.

The camera panned up to the stormy sky. Time shifted forward and an angelic tone Heralded the return of the sun. A flock of geese flew past.

/

Chef rang a handbell as the camera zoomed out to show him on the porch of the mess hall a pot of something beside him. Chris arrived on his red ATV with some concern on his face. "Hey, Chef, you seen the campers?" The host asked.

"No." the co host answered. "And I peeled a whole bag of rotten spuds." He explained holding up the pot and showing the rotted potatoes inside.

Chris scratched his head as he looked around the area. "Hmm. I can't find them either. Come to think of it, I can't even find their cabins." The camera zoomed out from Chris' face to show an empty clearing. A few cinder blocks were all the remained of the cabins.

/

The scene cut to show one of the cabins floating on a body of water. In front of the cabins The adirondack chair floated by with the family of raccoons seen previously. Just ahead of that was one of the bunk beds, with Amy sleeping on top, and Kitty on the bottom. Both were sleeping.

Trent exited the cabin with a yawn. He stepped forward and quickly found himself in the water. The splash woke Kitty who gave a startled yelp at seeing where she was, causing her to land in the water as well. Kitty's yelp woke up Amy in turn. "What the-!" she exclaimed as she too fell in the water.

Noah opened the door and came on the porch. "I swear trying to sleep with you around is-" He stopped in the middle of his complaint, his eyes shoot open wide at the sight of their predicament. "How in the world?"

"I don't know! You're the smart one, you figure it out!" Amy snapped, picking leeches off her arm.

"Maybe there was a flood?" Kitty suggested.

"Wow, this whole situation is kinda ridiculous huh?" Trent remarked. A shark fin passed him. Then it circled past the girls, causing all three to jump out of the water and head to the safety of the cabin.

The footage skipped ahead to show the four campers holding onto the railing on the cabin's porch. They watch on as the girls' bunk bed collapses into the water, the shark jumps out and takes a bite out of one of the chairs.

"You think Alejandro's okay?" Kitty asked.

/

(Confessional)

Alejandro: Then there was that time I saw her in her swimsuit, and I raised a seductive eyebrow. Amber turned bright red with embarrassment yet she still managed to come up with a snappy comeback. That's another thing I like about her, she's got such a sharp tongue when she's annoyed. (His stomach growled.) I seem to have been in here for some time. Perhaps Chef has made something edible today?

The camera cut outside to show the confessional had also been carried away in the flood, and was now floating in the water. Alejandro opened the door took note of this and closed it. A series of Spanish words including several censored ones come from inside.

/

The scene cut to Amy's feet as they stepped onto sand. The camera pulled back to show the cabin had beached itself at an angle. The four contestants were on dry land. Several plants dotted the area, a number of them in pots.

"Well this is unnerving." Trent noted.

"Please Trent. Potted plants? This is just one of Chris' cheap sets." Noah explained.

"Yeah, I bet these rocks aren't even real!" Kitty agreed, kicking one of two nearby rocks and wincing in pain.

"We've just drifted downstream, obviously the producers will send a search party." Amy told them.

(confessional)

Chris: Just to set the record straight, my sets are not cheap! I lost three interns moving those rocks into place. And about that search party, nuh-uh. Those campers are on their own.

Static

The confessional cut to Chris and Chef still outside the Mess Hall. "So I guess that means Craft Day is canceled." the host said, his concern quickly being replaced by a grin. "Anyway, I'm starved. Let's eat." He continued as he pat his stomach and turned to Chef, who was still holding the pot of rotted potatoes.

"You actually wanna eat this slop?" Chef asked in disbelief.

"Ch, yeah, right." Chris scoffed. "I'm gonna hit the breakfast buffet back at our camp."

"Cool." Chef replied with a thumbs up. He chuckled and gave Chris a playful push. Chris laughed back before returning the favor with a playful shove of his own. This annoyed the larger man enough that he frowned and shoved Chris over.

/

(confessional)

Trent: Great, stuck on an island with Amy.

Static

Kitty: I would've freaked out as much as Trent if Noah wasn't here. Him pointing out those potted plants really helped.

Static

Amy: Ugh the things I put up with for 100,000.

Static

Noah: I will never sign up for another reality show as long as I live.

Static

The confessionals cut to Amy lounging on one of the rocks. "You guys can run around trying to get back if you want. I'm waiting for the producers to rescue us."

"What if they don't know where we are?! I say we build a raft and try to make our way back to camp." Trent told her.

"Sure then we'll get more lost." Amy rolled her eyes.

"I don't know why I bothered to ask your opinion!" Trent scowled.

"We're not lost. This is clearly a challenge to see how we deal with being stranded. , Granted I have no idea how he got the budget for this." Noah explained. " I'm onto you Chris!"

(Confessional)

Chris: Ooh! I'm so scared!

Static

"I'm gonna search the island for shelter." Noah informed them.

"I'm going with Noah, beats listening to you argue." Kitty agreed. The two began to walk down the beach.

(Confessional)

Noah: We're in the middle of the wilderness, without food, shelter, or drinkable water, and those two can't stop arguing. It's a good thing someone is thinking straight right now. Kitty might be an over excited extrovert, but she's the sanest person here.

Static

Kitty: Noah seemed to know what he was doing, and besides there's safety in numbers.

Static

Noah and Kitty poked their heads from between two potted shrubs. "Wow! That was easier than I thought!" The camera zoomed out to show a large suspiciously well built treehouse nearby.

"Too easy. As if the challenge wasn't obvious enough." Noah noted.

/

(Confessional)

Alejandro: Okay, so you got swept away in the storm. Surely the producers wouldn't abandon one of their contestants. I just need to stay in here until I hit land or get rescued. (A dull thud shakes the outhouse. Alejandro brightens.) Please tell me I've beached.

Static

The Confessional had washed up on the sandy shores of a beach. Alejandro opened the door as a triumphant note played. "Oh Lady luck thank you for your mercy!" Alejandro cried. He ran onto the beach and paused. "I should be careful. Who knows where I drifted?" He crept to the bushes. When he parted them it was to find something white and pointy. He looked up and with a dramatic beat, the camera zoomed out to show he was in the mouth of a large T-rex skull with it's neck still attached. "¡Dios mio!" Alejandro exclaimed, falling over.

(confessional)

Chris: The T-Rex skull was my idea. Did you see the look on his face? That was worth every intern.

Static

/

"Okay this thing is in way too good condition to have been here long." Noah noted as he and Kitty stood on the porch of the treehouse.

"Who cares, the view is great!" Kitty cheered. She yelled back towards the beach. "Hey if you're done arguing Noah and I found shelter!"

She opened the door and what looked like a human skeleton fell down into the doorway. Kitty screamed, and Noah jumped back, startled. The two fell off the porch.

The camera shifted to show Amy and Trent parting the shrubs from earlier. "Kitty are you okay?!" Trent asked.

"Yeah, I'm fine." The selfie lover said, standing up and brushing sand off her clothes. "Something popped out the door when I opened it.

"What was it?" The guitarist frowned.

"Something set up by Chris probably." Noah noted, having regained his composure.

/

A flash transition takes us back to Alejandro who is now looking at the skull critically. "On closer inspection it's clearly fake." He frowned and walked back to the beach. He glanced at some trees and raised a brow in confusion. "This is not the climate for coconuts?"

(Confessional)

Chef: Will someone please explain to me why there are palm trees and coconuts up here? We're in northern Ontario!

(The camera pulls back to show Chris is also in the confessional)

Chris: They were leftover props from the Bigassic Park movie shoot. (Chef gives him a look.) What? We're on a budget!

Static

Alejandro picked up one of the coconuts and examined. "So I either drifted to a more tropical climate or I'm on one of Chris' sets." He glanced at the T-rex skull. "Probably the latter. In which case the others are likely here as well. This is a challenge, and will not fail." He glanced at one of the coconuts. "It reminds me of Amber's hair color." He smiled.

/

"It's a prop?!" Kitty remarked as she poked the skeleton in the doorframe from earlier.

"Of course it's a prop. This is all fake, just like the slasher." Noah smirked.

"You were right! It is just a challenge!" Kitty grinned.

"I still think we should build a raft. If you're wrong we'll die out here." Trent told them.

"If we are stranded we need to wait for the producers to come get us. We're the stars! There's no way they're leaving us here!" Amy told him.

"And if the producers don't know where to look? They aren't the smartest!" Trent retorted.

(Confessional)

Chris: I'm gonna let that little comment pass.

Static

Amy: I'm better off without those losers. Noah and Kitty can keep that shack for all I care. When the producers arrive, I'll be where they can find me.

Static

Trent: Maybe splitting up wasn't the best idea, but I couldn't stand to be around Amy anymore. Besides, i stand by my idea.

Static

Noah: I knew I should've tried to convince Trent to stay, but honestly he and Amy are driving me nuts. If they can't work together, then I won't tolerate them.

Static

"You know what?!" Trent yelled. "Why don't we just make it every camper for themselves!"

"Fine I don't need you!" Amy retorted.

"Whatever." Noah rolled his eyes. Kitty looked torn but ultimately she said nothing.

The footage flashed forward to show Trent and Amy on the beach. The guitarist was gathering wood to build a raft, while the blonde sat on a rock looking out to shore.

/

Alejandro was sharpening what looked to be a stick to use as a weapon. He picked up a nearby coconut, which now had a couple small palm leaves on either side of it, reminiscent to pigtails or perhaps braids. "What do you think?" The coconut obviously said nothing. "Yes I know it's rudimentary but I haven't the time to make something better." The Spainard sighed. "I'm talking to a coconut. I probably look insane, but I need something to bounce ideas off of." He gently placed the coconut under the tree. The footage cut forward to the Spainard thowing his new weapon at a banana tree. a bunch of Bananas fell to the ground. The footage cut forward again to show Alejandro had now added Pineapples to his colletion of fruit.

He picked up the coconut from earlier. "That should sustain me for now, don't you think?" The coconut didn't reply. "You're right, fruit will only go so far. I need something more." He spotted a large egg in a nearby nest. "That would do." He smirked. Yet another flash forward showed the Spainard picking up the egg, and walking off. The shadow of something large and winged passed overhead, letting out a cry.

/

Back at the beach in front of the treehouse Trent was in the process of tying several logs together. He glared to the left, and the camera panned to show Amy had yet to move from her spot on the rock. Then the camera panned up to show Kitty and Noah standing on the front porch. The selfie lover's stomach growled. "Uh, we have shelter but what about food?"

"We can survive without food for several days. We should be fine." Noah replied.

Kitty's stomach growled again. "It'll suck, but your probably right. It's not like there's anything on this island-"

A loud howling roar shocked the four campers. "Maybe there is!" Trent exclaimed.

/

Meanwhile Alejandro had moved in front of the confessional, and was eating some of the fruit. when the roar went through the air. His eyes shot open. "You heard that right? I'm not going insane?" He asked the coconut. Of course it didn't answer. Alejandro facepalmed. "I'm talking to a coconut."

/

The scene cut to Chef blowing into a pink conch shell, which was somehow producing the sound everyone had just heard. "Brunch is served." He announced calmly as he lowered the shell. Chris stood behind him looking hungrily at a table of food, that had been set up in front of a green tent.

A classical tune played as the camera focused on the host. "Ah, brunch." He happily remarked. "Such a civilized meal, don't you think? You've already digested your breakie, but you're not quite ready for lunch. Ooh!" He exclaimed swiping his finger through a thick yellow sauce. "Hollandaise! You've outdone yourself, Chef!" He stuck his finger in his mouth and removed it with a faint pop.

Chef smiled and blew into the conch again.

/

Noah glanced around then his eyes narrowed. "Chris, it has to be. This is clearly a challenge, and Chris wouldn't have a giant dangerous creature here, it'd cost too much."

Back down on the beach Trent had gotten the raft onto the water. "Well whether this is a challenge or not I'm leaving."

"Good riddance." Amy scoffed.

"Trent you don't know where you're going. It's safer to stay here, you could get lost." Kitty told him.

"That may be true,but it's better than being stuck on this island." Trent told her. He pushed his raft further into the water. Then he got on and began to row off.

The camera zoomed in on Noah and Kitty in the treehouse. "You think he'll be okay?" The selfie lover asked.

Noah sighed. "Maybe but he's really putting himself at risk. I don't think we could have stopped him from going either way."

(confessional)

Kitty: I felt really bad, about letting Trent leave. Noah was right though, I don't think we could have stopped him. Still I was worried about him.

Static

Noah: It was Trent's choice. So it didn't really matter to me if he got lost. Okay maybe it mattered a little, but there was nothing I could do about it. So I shoved any guilt I was feeling to the back of my mind.

Static

/

Alejandro was shown again. He had already finished eating and was currently picking up the coconut he'd been talking to, as well as the still uncooked egg. "Okay, If there is some creature on this island. We-I mean I will have to relocate. Perhaps I can find the others, it is a challenge after all." He looked at the coconut. "I should leave you behind." The camera zoomed in on the coconut. "Alejandro sighed. "Why am I emotionally attached to a coconut?"

/

The scene cut to Chris and Chef. A tropical party beat played as the focus was placed on a limbo bar, set to the highest point. In the background Chef sat next to a trailer playing a drum while Chris went under the limbo bar in the foreground,."Ahh. Fun in the great outdoors. Too bad the interns are missing it. We should send them a video of this." he said, turning around to limbo again, "Good times."

/

The music became something softer as the focus shifted to Trent paddling across the water. He was muttering to himself. "What does Noah know? Even if this is a challenge, Chris might not be in control of where we ended up. It was sweet of Kitty to worry about me, I hope they're both okay, I'll have to let Chris know where they are." Trent looked into the distance and groaned. The Island shore is shown again. "You have got to be kidding me."
The footage flash ahead to show Trent now on the island. He sighed, and turned to get back on his raft when he heard a familiar voice. "Trent! Amigo!" The view shifted to show Alejandro running down the beach towards the guitarist, the egg still under one arm and the coconut in his other hand.

"Alejandro? You're okay!" Trent beamed. Alejandro finally reached him.

"It looks like you're made yourself busy." The Spaniard said, gesturing towards his raft.

"Yeah, but I got turned around." The guitarist sighed.

"Well I would be happy to help guide you in exchange for a ride, we can even share this egg." Alejandro offered.

Trent looked to be about to speak, when a predatory screech interrupted him. The shadow of something flying and prehistoric settled above them. The camera panned up to show one of the ancient geese from boney island.

Alejandro said something that needed to be censored. The predatory bird screeched as it dove down. The Spainard attempted to run away but the bird caught him in its talons and took flight.

The camera shifted to a panicked Trent who ran to his raft and grabbed a rope lying there. He threw it towards Alejandro, managing to get it around his foot. He tried to pull the Spaniard out of it's crutches but was not strong enough, getting dragged through the air instead.

/

A flash transition takes us back to the treehouse where Noah and Kitty hear the bird's cry. "Did you hear that?" Kitty gulped.

"Yes." Noah replied looking truly concerned for the first time.

/

The goose continues to fly through the sky, as Trent and Alejandro yell.

/

"I recognize that screech," Noah told Kitty. "Remember when we went to Boney Island?"

"Of course." Kitty nodded.

"While your trip was relatively uneventful, we ran into some prehistoric beavers. They chased us until we entered another predator's territory. This time it was geese, with Pterodactyl esque heads. They sounded just like that." The cynic explained.

"What do we do?" Kitty asked nervously.

"It could be Chris again, but I'm not taking any chances. Let's get in the treehouse and barricade the door." Noah told her.

The camera panned to Amy on the rock, who had clearly heard the whole conversation as she looked terrified. "Hey you guys aren't just gonna leave me out here!"

Noah glanced out from the doorway where he stood. "I'm sorry I thought you were waiting for the producers."

Amy ran over to the ladder. "That was before I knew those freaks of nature were here!"

Noah looked like he was about to shut the door but Kitty stopped him. "I know Amy's mean,but she doesn't deserve to die."

Noah sighed. "Just hurry before it-" The shadow of the ancient geese passed over them. "Arrives."

Trent and Alejandro stood up shakily. "That's a long story." the guitarist said. A purple snake landed on the two, "And one we don't have time for!" The two began to run up the ladder after Amy.

A flash transition shows all five campers on the porch. Looking nervously down at the snake, which was shown again. It stuck it's forked tongue out in a hiss. The scene zoomed out, showing the full picture. Alejandro had somehow held onto his coconut. "Uh What's with the coconut?" Kitty asked.

/

The scene cut back to Chris and Chef who were sitting on either side of a stump, on stools. They were sipping coffee out of cups, which has clearly been brewed using the red coffeemaker on the stump. The classical tune from earlier played in the background.

"So Chef." Chris began. "how do you think our campers are doing on their 'deserted island'?

"Anything could have happened to them by now." The cook said with a smile. "mauled by bears, fell off a cliff, starved to death," As the co-host listed off these thing, the camera zoomed further and further in on a thoughtful Chris.

"Hmm, maybe I should go check the monitors and see what kinda footage we got." He suggested.

"Chris man." Chef said, "You are one dedicated host." The co-host picked Chris up and cradled him as touching music played. "You're an inspiration."

"Thanks, dude." The host told him."It's what I do."

/

A flash transition shows the treehouse from a distance, the snake still poised at the bottom of the ladder. The scene cut to a view inside, the house was sparsely furnished, containing two simple bunk beds, a rug, a small dresser, and above it a cracked mirror. Noah and Kitty sat on the bottom bunk of the left bed, Alejandro on a stool in the middle, Amy on the bottom right bunk, and Trent leaned against one of the many large branches growing inside.

"Do you think it's safe?" Kitty wondered aloud.

Trent glanced towards the camera, presumably at the window to the porch. "No, it's still out there."

"Well someone has to do something about it! I can't stay in this shack with you losers forever." Amy complained.

"If it weren't for this 'shack' you'd be down there with a killer snake. I'd be grateful." Trent glared.

"Right, I'm so grateful to be stuck here. We don't even have any food!" Amy glanced at Alejandro, who was still holding the coconut. "Although…"

Alejandro scowled. "This is my coconut and I will decide when we eat her-it."

"Aww is someone missing their girlfriend?" Amy mocked.

"Leave Amber out of this." The Spaniard snapped.

"You certainly didn't leave her out of the last elimination." Noah smirked.

"I did what I had to do." Alejandro defended.

"And yet I'm the one who's a terrible person. At least I didn't betray the person I care about most!" Amy yelled.

"Yourself?" Trent scoffed.

"I was talking about Ella! Not that you'd care!" the blonde glared.

"Will you please shut up?" Noah groaned.

(Confessional)

Noah: Well this is how I go insane. Stuck in a cramped treehouse with a witch, a vindictive lover, Alenarcissist, and Kitty.

Static

"Guys!" Kitty yelled causing everyone to stop arguing. "Look, I know things are tense, but we have to live with each other. So maybe we should share a few things about ourselves. Gain a better understanding of each other."

"And give Alejandro an advantage in the game? No thanks." Noah scoffed.

"It doesn't have to be anything game related, we could talk about hobbies, or our lives at home." Kitty told him.

Trent sighed. "Well…"

/

"Wow, so you're really the runt of ten kids?" Kitty asked Noah.

"Yeah, but at least most of them have moved out, Alejandro still has to deal with his older brother." The cynic admitted.

"Jose might be terrible to deal with but at least I've never had to deal with the police like Trent did." Alejandro noted.

"Don't you all feel closer now?" Kitty smiled. Amy rolled her eyes, lying on one of the lower bunks. A small purple spider dropped down on a thread of silk. Amy screamed.

"Get it off me!" She shrieked, stumbling out the door. The spider having been shaken off Amy brushed her arms off. Then she glanced out. "Hey, guys it looks like we have visitors?"

The viewpoint shifted to the jungle ahead, far back on the horizon a pillar of smoke rose. Then it shifted back to the porch, where Kitty, Alejandro, and Trent ran onto the scene.

"Is it a rescue team?" Kitty asked.

"It could be another trick by Chris, but if this is a challenge, we're probably supposed to follow it." Noah noted.

"That's great, but how do we get rid of the snake?" Trent asked.

"That is the problem, what do you think?" Alejandro asked his coconut.

Amy snapped. "Will you just forget about that stupid coconut already!" She snatched it out of his hands and threw it. The scene cut to the ground where the coconut hit the snake in the head, knocking it out.

"Nice work Amy! Now we can follow the smoke!" Kitty beamed, sliding down the ladder quickly.

"Oh yeah. I meant to do that." The blonde bluffed. Alejandro glanced at the coconut, but ultimately left it behind.

/

The five contestants are shown running through the forest, the music swells to a crescendo as the five burst out of nearby bushes. Startling Chris and Chef. The host quickly recovered and put on his best smile. "Hey, guys. It's about time you showed up."

"I knew it was a challenge! You didn't have me fooled for a second!" Noah smirked.

"Maybe not, but you suffered anyway, so I consider this a win." Chris smirked.

"So where are we anyway?" Trent asked.

"It's our production crew's secret location." Chef explained. The camera panned across the area, revealing a green tent, a buffet table, and a semi truck. In the background Chris' red helicopter was parked. A bear was eating a sandwich at the buffet table. "Or it was a secret until now."

"Then what was with the T-Rex skull?" Alejandro asked.

"And that prehistoric goose?" Kitty added.

Chris chuckled."Oh, those are just left over from a dinosaur movie that was–"

"So you're telling me," Amy interrupted, "That while we were stuck in the middle of nowhere, without much food or water that you guys were having a vacation only a 100 feet away?!"

It began to rain, to the dismay of the five campers. "That would be accurate." Chris told her as he and Chef happily retreated into their trailer. "Sorry. I'd invite you in, but there's only room for seven. See you at the campfire tonight!" With that insincere apology Chris shut the trailer door. The campers gaped at it.

/

The footage cut to the elimination ceremony as the usual music played over the shot of the island at night. "Well," Chris began. " it's been a grueling day, campers. Frankly, Chef and I are worn out. I hope you've learned two valuable lessons. First, always make sure your cabins are securely fastened to the ground. And second, the "every camper for themselves" idea sucks. Five heads are always better than one."

The campers are all shown with Noah rolling his eyes at Chris' speech. "Which brings us to yet another dramatic marshmallow ceremony."

(Confessional)

Alejandro: So I told Trent I'd help him vote Amy out. Between he, Kitty and I she'll be gone and I'll have secured Trent's loyalty."

Static

The host pulled out his tray of fluffy white immunity. "Marshmallows go to Noah, Trent, and Kitty." He announced, throwing a marshmallow to each. "Amy, Alejandro, this is the final marshmallow."

The two villains glared at each other as the music ramped up. Both seemed confident they would be staying. After a long pause, Chris threw the final piece of immunity.

"Amy." He announced. The blonde smirked as she caught her treat.

Alejandro was frozen in shock. Then his eyes narrowed. "Trent I thought we were getting rid of Amy?"

The guitarist wouldn't look at him. "I wanted to, but I'm a man of my word."

Alejandro took note of Noah's smirk. "You?!"

"Trent owed me a vote." The cynic explained.

(flashback)

Noah is talking to Trent on the steps of the gopher cabin. "Here's the deal: I help you vote out Amy now and you owe me a vote later. I can call for this vote any time and have to vote for who I say. No matter how much you like them, or how much you want to vote for someone else."

Trent frowned. "You're being awfully specific." He noted.

"I don't want to be accused of withholding information." Noah explained, he held out his hand. "So do we have an accord?"

(end)

"Sure it was a risk, waiting so long, but I knew it'd be worth it to get you out. All I had to do was wait until I could use Trent as a swing vote to get the biggest threat out of the game." Noah concluded. You could say I seized my opportunity." He gave Alejandro a meaningful glance.

The Spaniard scowled. "Well played, but I will not concede defeat. I promise you Noah, I will get you back."

"Save the speech for someone who cares." The cynic scoffed.

Alejandro walked down the dock of shame to the boat of losers. As it took off we see him give a small smile. "At least I can see Amber again."

Chapter Text

For once the episode did not begin with Chris on the dock, but rather sent straight into recap footage. "Last week on Total Drama Island," Chef Hatchet's voice began to overlay. The girls are shown drifting down the water in their bunkbed, followed by Trent,after he opened the door, Amy, and Kitty falling into the water. "those good-for-nothing campers got swept away by a rainstorm that left them stranded on a deserted island." Noah, Trent, Amy, and Kitty are shown on the beach looking around the island. "Meanwhile, the pretty boy" Alejandro is shown beaching, followed by him talking to the coconut. " drifted ashore in his outhouse, and started talking to a coconut because it reminded him of his girlfriend."

"Guitar boy made a raft for himself, while scrawny and pigtails went to look for shelter," Trent is shown building his raft while Noah and Kitty are shown finding the treehouse. "Leaving the mouthy girl to fend for herself." Amy is shown leaning against her rock.

"Somehow, they all ended up together in a tree house getting to

know each other." The campers are all shown inside the treehouse together. "That's when they decided to find out who made the fire," The contestants are shown following the smoke. "but all they found was the secret location of our production crew camp." The site is shown, with the same pan as last time.

Chef is shown in the kitchen. "Oh and Scrawny used Guitar boy to get pretty boy voted out. Yeah, it's me doing the recap. You got a problem with that?!" He asked, brandishing a cleaver. "Since Chris is off hosting some frou-frou rewards show, I'll be filling in as host. But guess what? I ain't happy about it, either." He pulled out Alejandro's coconut from last episode. "So sit back, shut up, and watch a nice episode of" He slammed the cleaver down on coconut as he said each word of the show's title. Total! Drama! Island!

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

Tranquil music played as the sun crested over the horizon. Birds can be heard chirping in the background. The scene cut to Trent sleeping in his bed. His mouth open. Amy is shown sleeping on the top of her bunk. A fly buzzed around her ear, causing the cheerleader to swat at it. A frog jumped onto her and caught the fly, before jumping off again.

The focus shifted to Noah, who has his arms wrapped around his pillow. A squirrel jumps over him, it's tail ticking his nose. He sneezed, Kitty is shown last as a dragonfly lands on her nose. She bats it away, but it returns, buzzing in her ear. Kitty groaned and woke up. "What the? Where are we?!"

"If I wanted to sleep in the woods I would have done it." Noah snapped.

"This is Chris' work!" Amy accused.

"How'd we get here?" Trent asked.

A helicopter drowned out their cries and drew their attention skyward. "Everybody just shut up!" Chef barked, swooping in on a ladder. "How you got here is not your concern!" He touched ground and gave the pilot a thumbs up. Signaling him to leave.

"Uh, what happened to Chris?" Trent asked.

"None of your gosh darn business what happened to Chris!" Chef told him harshly. "I'm in charge now. And I'm gonna make you wish you were never born." He grinned darkly and shook his fist as he approached the teens. Your mission is to find your way out of the forest or die trying."

"What?! You can't kill us?! We're the stars!" Amy protested.

(Confessional)

Noah: Really creative Chris, I see you've run out of ideas already. This is pretty much the camping challenge again.

Static

"Here's how it works." Chef began, a duffel bag in each hand. "Team one, Guitar boy and Scrawny." He tossed a bag to Trent and Noah. "Team two, girly and girlier." He threw the second bag to Amy and Kitty." Everything you need is in these bags. You'll navigate your way north to base camp. The first team to tag the camp totem pole wins. And here's a tip." He added nonchalantly. "Better set up camp before sundown. Because when nightfall hits, you won't even see your trembling hand in front of your terrified face." He mockingly shook his hand in front of his face as Trent looked worried.

"Unless," Chef continued. " you got night vision goggles." He held up a pair. "But you don't." He chuckled. Noah and Trent gave each other worried looks, then Noah rushed forward.

"You can't leave me out here!" The cynic cried as he gripped Chef's apron. "Those bears will use me as a toothpick! I don't wanna die!"

"Grab a hold of your guts, soldier!" Chef barked, pushing Noah away.

(Confessional)

Kitty: Noah was pretty calm on the island, and during the slasher challenge. This doesn't seem like him.

Static

"This is nuts. We're going to be mauled to death by grizzlies!" Trent worried.

"Oh, I wouldn't worry about that." Chef told him in an oddly calming tone. "You wish you'd saw a grizzly once you meet up with ol' Sasquatchanakwa!" He told them with a dark grin. "He's one mean mamma-jamma!" The sound of propellers and the sudden dirt clouds heralded the return of the helicopter. " Kitty gasped as Chef grabbed onto the still lowered ladder. He called out one last time. "Good luck, troops! Try not to die!"

The campers watched as he was carried off, gasping as metal hook swung down and caught the bunk beds. With the last remnants of camp gone, all that remained was the clothing on their backs, and bags Chef had given them.

"You can't leave me here! I'm the only reason you have good ratings!" Amy yelled, as Kitty looked in their bag. She pulled out a compass with a smile.

"He can leave you here and he has, come on Trent, there's only so long until sundown." Noah told his partner. Trent followed reluctantly.

"Where do they think they're going?!" Amy asked Kitty. "They don't seriously think they can find their way out do they? They must be bigger idiots than-" Amy was cut off by Kitty.

"Look, I found a compass in our bag. So we should be able to find our way out." The selfie lover explained.

"How is that supposed to help?!" Amy snapped.

(confessional)

Amy: Ugh, Kitty is almost as useless as Samey. The only reason I haven't left her behind is because I need someone to shove at the bear when it tries to eat me!

Static

Noah: Let's be honest here, the bear isn't going to target me. It probably won't even target Trent, but if one was hungry enough to try and eat us, Trent would probably be his first choice.

Static

The footage cut to Noah and Trent walking through a patch of the woods. "Hey Noah do you have any idea where we are?"

"I haven't the slightest." Noah told him nonchalantly

"Then why did we leave so quickly?" Trent asked.

"Simple I wanted to plan away from Amy." The cynic shrugged.

"I'd have thought you would want her to tag along." the guitarist scoffed, his arms folded.

"Trent I know you're mad you couldn't vote her out last time, but let's face it Amy's done for. None of us like her, so as long as she doesn't get immunity she'll get voted out and we go to the final three. In other words, we need to win this." Noah explained.

"Fine. Let's see what's in the bag." Trent conceded. He shook the contents of the bag onto the ground. A sleeping bag, bug spray, binoculars, and a map.

"Looks like we have everything we need except a compass." The cynic noted.

"What about food?" Trent asked.

"We can survive without food for several days. If anything, we need to worry about how contaminated the river water is." Noah told him.

"Okay so how do we figure out which way is north?" Trent frowned, scratching the back of his neck.

"How good are you at climbing trees?" The cynic asked.

"Not great, and it's not like we can travel at night so that's a bust." The guitarist sighed.

"Not necessarily." Noah smirked, holding up Chef's night goggles.

"You stole those from Chef? Dude, do you want to die?!" Trent exclaimed.

"Relax Trent, those contracts might cover a lot, but they don't cover the murder of a minor." Noah rolled his eyes.

"Okay, I guess I can try to climb a tree." The guitarist decided. He handed Noah the map as he took out a pair of binoculars. "I'll tell you what I see and you determine our location from there."

Noah nodded and Trent began to climb one of the nearby trees. The Cynic's eyes, and the camera focused in on the map's compass. It then transitions to an actual compass.

/

The shot of the compass zoomed out to show Kitty was still holding it. "Chef said camp is north, so if we follow the river, we should get there quickly."

"And how does that compass tell you anything?" Amy frowned.

"Didn't you learn about magnets in school?" Kitty asked.

"Of course I learned about magnets, what does that have to do with the compass?" The twin scoffed.

Kitty smirked. "Well if you wanna stay here and get eaten by Sasquatchanakwa that's fine.." With that Kitty began to walk away.

"Wait, you can't leave me alone in the woods!" Amy exclaimed, running after her.

(Confessional)

Kitty: Good old reverse psychology.

Static

Amy: Okay, so that sasquatch thing probably isn't real. I mean the crew wouldn't put me in danger, I'm their best contestant. (Amy's eye widen and she glances around nervously. "I mean they wouldn't right?"

Static

The girls are shown walking down the river. This is from the point of view of something peering at them over a bush, Heavy breathing can be heard. Then the footage faded to later in the challenge.

Kitty is walking the lead as Amy complains, a swarm of bugs are attacking her. "Ugh, my shoes are going to be destroyed after this. Not only that bit these bugs think I'm their lunch. If Samey was here I'd just push her into the bugs, but she's not!" Kitty sighed.

(confessional)

Kitty: Okay, the last time Chef was in charge it wasn't even that bad. I liked the military challenge, well except the essay part. This challenge sucks though. I mean, say what you want about Chris, at least he's creative.

Static

Amy: Chris if you see this footage I just wanna say I hope you enjoyed your day off! Meanwhile we're stuck with your little sidekick, who didn't even do anything! He just abandoned us in the woods!

Static

The sun is shown high in the sky, then the camera panned down to the dock, where Chef was lounging in his purple swim trunks. He read aloud from a book with the French flag, and Eiffel tower on it. "Pardon, monsieur, ou est le bibliothèque?" He chuckled.

/

Trent is shown somewhat up a tree, holding the team's binoculars. We see the view through them, which shows a lot of foliage. Trent sighed and made his way further up the tree. This time in the distance he spots a large hill.

"Hey! I can't be sure, but I think I see the hill we jumped off in the first challenge!" He called down.

"Which direction is it in?" Noah yelled up.

"The direction I'm pointing." Trent told him, doing just that.

"Trent! You're too high up for me to see that! Can you remember until you get down?" The cynic asked.

"I think so!" Trent said, he started to climb down, but quickly tripped. He fell to the ground with a scream. He paused as he realized he was okay. "I survived?! Whoo!"

"I'm happy for you." A strained sarcastic voice said from off screen. "Can you get off me now?" The camera zoomed out to show Trent had landed on Noah.

The guitarist scrambled up. "Woah sorry dude! You okay?"

"I'm in immense pain, but not grievously injured, so considering the circumstances, yes." Noah managed to tell him.

"Great, so the hill was that way?" Trent said pointing. "And the sun rises on the opposite side of camp so north is that way?" The guitarist reasoned, pointing to the right of the camera.

"In that case, we just need to follow the river." Noah groaned, standing up.

"Are you sure you don't need to rest more?" Trent asked.

"Considering the alternative is being eaten alive by mosquitoes I think I'll live." The cynic smiled wryly.

The scene flashed ahead to show the boys were now heading down the river bank. Trent was holding the bag while Noah seemed to have recovered from earlier. They look across the water to see Amy and Kitty.

Noah quickly grabbed Trent and ducked into a nearby bush. "Hey what was that for?" The guitarist asked.

"We don't want the girls to know where we are." Noah explained.

"Why-" Trent was cut off by Amy complaining across the river.

"My feet are tired! How much longer is this gonna take?!"

"We'd go faster, if you didn't take so many breaks." Kitty told her.

"I have to take these breaks! Have you ever tried hiking in heels?!" Amy scoffed.

Noah tapped on Trent's shoulder, bringing his attention back to him. "If you don't want Amy to get invincibility, they can't know how we're getting back to camp."

"How are we getting back to camp?" Trent asked.

"Remember that raft you built last challenge?" Noah told him.

"Yeah, so you want me to make another one?" The guitarist said.

"Just tell me how to help and I'll do what I can." The cynic promised.

The footage skipped ahead to show the boys were nearly finished with their raft. "So do you think we can handle Sasquatchanakwa?" Trent asked.

"Unlikely, you're average strength and I can barely lift ten pounds. If we see it, we'd better outrun it." Noah decided.

"You think it can swim?" Trent asked.

"Possibly, but with all that fur it will weigh down in the water. So we should be faster than it." The cynic shrugged.

(Confessional)

Noah: Truthfully, I'm not confident I can outswim a sasquatch. I'm not the most physical guy. (Relevant clips of Noah during the dodgeball game, pushing the canoe on the way to boney island and falling to the floor of it immediately, dropping Jo into a pool of jellyfish, struggling through the obstacle course, and failing to catch his frog in a recent challenge are shown.) I can't show weakness in front of Trent though.

Static

"Okay, that'll do it." Trent told him as they tied the last few logs together. They put it into the river. "After you."

/

The scene cut back to the dock of shame, the viewpoint is facing towards the camp as the camera moves down it. Tense music plays as we cut inside the cabins. We see Chef rummaging around. He takes out a magazine and grins, a flash and he was shown picking up a guitar, then another flash and he picked up a small pink and green jar from yet another bunk.

/

The girls are shown sitting on rocks by the riverside. Kitty pulled out a couple of protein bars and handed one to Amy. Amy ripped it open and began to eat. "So Kitty." She said in between bites. "Who are you going to vote out?"

Kitty gave her a look. "Honestly, you."

"Me? But Kitty if I'm up for elimination, so are you. How do you know Noah won't target you?" Amy asked.

"Noah wouldn't do that." Kitty said confidently.

"Oh really? Think about it, who does he have a higher chance of winning against? Me? Or you? He could be plotting your downfall right now!" Amy told her.

/

The scene cut to the boys on their raft. Trent burped. "You could say excuse me." Noah scoffed.

"Sorry man, I'm not used to saying it around other guys. I will now though. Excuse me." Trent told him.

"You're excused." Noah replied.

/

"Amy, you're not going to manipulate me against Noah. You are right though, I shouldn't give up immunity just to spite you." Kitty agreed.

"Exactly. So we're agreed right?"

"Right…" Kitty said nervously, then she gasped as she saw Noah and Trent float by on their raft. Waving to them silently. "Crap the boys are ahead!"

"Then why are we sitting here, come on!" Amy cried running off. Kitty grabbed the duffle bag and followed after her.

(confessional)

Kitty: I should have known they'd build a raft! Trent built one last challenge!

Static

/

An incredibly cheesy tune consisting of a tuba and whistling begins to play over a montage of the four teen's afternoon. First Noah and Trent are shown rafting down the water. Kitty and Amy are shown ahead smirking. They begin to hurl several rocks at the raft, filling it with holes. The raft sinks and the two boys swim to shore. Trent is helping Noah out of the water when Kitty grabs the bug spray and runs off.

A flash to the next clip shows Kitty and Amy making their way through the forest. Noah and Trent peek out from some nearby bushes. They smirk at each other, and begin to make grunts like an ape, or sasquatch, might. The two girls panic and run into a large log ahead. Kitty dropped the duffle bag along the way. Trent and Noah seal one end with a rock and search through the bag, pulling out a lighter and running off. The girls exited the log from the other side, looking confused.

The next clip had Kitty using toilet paper to wrap up Amu like a mummy. A flash forward takes us to when she's finishing up. Amy held her arms out in front of her and moaned as she walked back and forth. Kitty nodded and Amy began to walk right. The boys are resting near a tree. Noah walks off into some nearby bushes by himself. Amy arrives and Trent screams and scrambles up a nearby tree, leaving the duffle bag behind. Amy reached in and grabbed the map. Then she ran off.

A flash took the scene to a close up of a pile of sticks. Then it pulled back to show several small piles of dirt around the stick, and the boys adding more sticks to the pile before running off. The girls run into the shot stepping on the pit and falling in. Noah ran to the duffle bag teetering on the edge of the pit and grabbed the compass from it, before throwing the rest down the pit with them.

/

The tune faded as did the scene, showing it was now a moonlit night. A swarm of bats flew through the air as the scene cut down to Amy and Kitty. The latter of which was trying to read the map. "I don't think we can read it at night." Kitty sighed.

"I can't believe they took our compass! This all your fault!" Amy snapped.

"How is it my fault?" Kitty asked frowning.

"You're the one who was holding the bag!" The twin scoffed.

"You fell for their tricks too!" the selfie lover defended. The two continued to walk in silence a moment before Kitty looked down. She grabbed the twin by her shoulder then pointed to the ground. The camera panned down to show a large humanoid footprint. The two girls nodded at each other, smirks on their face.

"Oh no! A sasquatch footprint! What will we do?" KItty said in an over the top voice. Some nearby bushes rustled and Amy nodded to Kitty.

"Alright boys, funs over!" The cheerleader called.

Kitty tip toed forward, then leapt into the bushes with a confident shout. The bushes moved and an animalistic growl came from them. Sasquatchanakwa rose from the bush, Kitty sitting on its shoulders. She screamed again, this time in fear. The sasquatchanakwa screamed as well, clearly just as startled. Amy ran for her life and the Sasquatchanakwa followed. Kitty still clinging to it's shoulders.

/

The scene cut to the guys walking through the forest, Noah is in the lead, using the compass to guide them, while Trent uses the night vision goggles to keep an eye out for danger.

We see through the night vision goggles as Trent sees an owl. "Just an owl," He saw a raccoon washing it's food. "Just a racoon." He saw a frog jumping. "Just a frog." He saw Kitty still on Sasquatchanakwa's shoulders, the Latter failing its arms wildly. "Just the Sasquatchanakwa." He noted, moving on. He quickly looked back at the approaching group. " Sasquatchanakwa? Run!" He cried running past his teammate. Noah glanced behind him and gasped in surprise. Then he took off, Amy is shown to be following them, with the Sasquatchanakwa trailing behind all of them.

/

The guys were shown running into a cave in their panic. The camera followed. In the darkness only Trent's eyes were visible in the upper left part of the screen. "Noah?"

Kitty's eyes appeared in lower right. "Trent?"

Noah's eyes opened in the lower left. "Kitty?"

"Noah?" The selfie lover replied.

"Kitty?"Amy called, her eyes in the upper right.

"Amy?"Trent asked.

"Trent?" the twin wondered.

"Felicia," Noah deadpanned. "Now that we're established we're all here, what exactly do we do? I'm pretty sure I can't outrun that thing." A pair of red eyes opened in the middle of the group.

"Of course you couldn't, you twig." Amy scoffed.

"You're not any better at running Amy." Trent defended his friend.

"Oh please, I could get away from it, even if I had to throw Noah at it. Not that it would stop him for long, he's not much of a meal." Amy teased.

"Well hopefully it won't matter. This could be a safe place to hole up in." Kitty said.

"Define safe." Noah deadpanned, as many small red eyes filled the area around them.

Amy shrieked. "Noah you pervert! Get your tongue out of my ear!"

"Why would I put my tongue in your ear?!" Noah snapped.

:"Guys, I think this cave is full of bats!" Trent cried. The camera cut out to the entrance of the cave. Sasquatchanakwa is shown running out, roaring in fear as it did. The camera panned left to show another entrance, the four teens ran out a swarm of bats amongst them. Each team's bag is safely in someone's hand.

/

The four teens stopped underneath a large overgrown tree, Noah and Kitty each holding their respective team's bag. "Why can't the sasquatch go back to being an elusive creature?" Noah gasped.

"I don't know, but I get the feeling we're not done with him." Kitty replied. The creatures tell tale snarl came from behind them and they quickly decided to move on.

/

The scene cut to Chef sitting on the amphitheater stage and playing a large golden harp while singing a series of acoustic notes. A cloud of flies flew around in and one got caught in his mouth temporarily Chef hacked up a loogie containing the insect, and spat it to the floor, before resuming his music.

/

"Look guys," Kitty began to address the others. "There's safety in a group. I say we camp together for the night."

"Camp with that heartbreaker?!" Amy said in disbelief pointing at Trent. I'd rather face the sasquatch!"

"I know you guys have your differences, but do you really wanna be alone in the woods? I mean that bat had its tongue inside your ear." Kitty smirked.

Amy shuddered. "Okay, fine."

"I don't want to sleep around her." Trent frowned.

"Trent, Amy can get eaten by the local wildlife for all I care, but Kitty has to stay with her. So if we want to help her, we have to help Amy." Noah informed him.

Trent sighed. "I hate that you're right."

"It's settled then, Trent why do you and I get firewood while Amy and Noah set up camp?" Kitty suggested.

"Fine by me." Trent nodded, putting the night vision goggles back on. The two walked off into the woods.

"I'm not lifting a finger." Amy scoffed, walking to a nearby tree.

"Then I hope you're comfortable sleeping on the ground, because I'm not indulging you." Noah retorted.

(Confessional)

Amy: Well if we have to sleep around each other, at least I know how to make sure we win.

Static

Noah: Amy's an idiot. Seriously, does she really think I won't be keeping an eye on her?

Static

Kitty: Look by that point I just wanted to sleep, and keep the sasquatch away. Even if something happens, it's worth it to be safe.

Static

/

The scene flashed forward to show the moon, before panning down to show the campers and a campfire. "Good night guys." Trent yawned, lying down and using their sleeping bag as a pillow.

"Yeah, me too." Kitty agreed, wrapping the girl's sleeping bag around her.

"I'm not trusting you with the fire." Noah informed Amy. "The last thing we need is the forest burning down."

"Please, as if I'd want to watch the fire." Amy rolled her eyes. She leaned against a nearby tree and closed her eyes.

The footage flashed forward to show Noah leaving the site. Amy opened her eyes and smirked. She grabbed all the boys' supplies and stuffed them into the girls' bag. Then she lay down again. Noah returned and rolled his eyes at the girl's overstuffed bag. He grabbed it, took something from it, and lay down himself.

The stayed on a close up of Noah's face as the scene faded from night to day and the cynic was awoken by Trent shaking him. "Noah! Wake up! The girl's left with all our stuff!"

Noah yawned. "Don't worry," He reached into his pants pocket and pulled out the compass. "We can get back no problem."

"Without a map?" Trent frowned.

"I memorized it." The cynic explained. "Come on!"

/

The scene cut to Amy and Kitty,the former holding an overstuffed bag, and the latter was frowning. "Are you sure our bag was always that full?"

"Of course I am!" Amy smirked, following the map.

(Confessional)

Kitty: I didn't know Amy took the guys' stuff, she woke me up early and I left with her. It wasn't until later I was awake enough to notice our bag was so full. I just took Amy at her word. Which in hindsight was pretty dumb.

Static

Amy: Noah thinks he's so smart, taking the duffle bag back. Did he really think I wouldn't just steal it again? I mean, the compass was missing, but whatever. We had the map, and we saw the sun rise, so figuring out which way was north wasn't an issue.

Static

/

We cut back to Trent and Noah. The cynic was trailing behind his breathing labored. "Dude you might have the map memorized, but I don't. Which means you need to lead."

"Yeah, I know. Ugh." Noah groaned. "If only you could find the camp yourself."

Trent sniffed the air. "Hey man do you smell that?"

Noah sniffed the air as well. "Sticky buns?"

/

A carefree melody played as the scene cut to the campgrounds. The camera focused in on the mess hall, before cutting in to show an oven with sticky buns inside. Chef opened the oven and sniffed the air. "Mm. That's some oven lovin'."

/

"Come on, Noah it's this way!" Trent put on speed and Noah groaned again before desperately trying to catch up.

/

A flash takes us back to Chef as he carries his tray of sticky buns past a totem pole to an Adirondack chair. He sat down and licked his lips in anticipation, but his feast was interrupted by a cry from nearby.

"We're nearly there!" Amy exclaimed from off screen.

"Aww crap." Chef sighed, his face falling.

The camera focused on the campers as the girls ran into the scene. They seemed to be ahead before the boys came out of some nearby bushes and caught up. The boys were closing in until Noah collapsed from exhaustion. "Noah!" Trent cried.

"Just touch the pole!" Noah gasped. Trent nodded and continued onward, but his moment of concern had cost them the win as Amy tagged the totem pole. She and Kitty high fived. Kitty noticed Noah's collapse and gasped.

"Why couldn't I have collapsed after we won?" Noah sighed, still on the ground. Trent walked over and helped him stand up.

"It's okay man. You did your best." The guitarist reassured him.

"Quit sulkin!" Chef barked. "All right, game's over. Girls win, guys lose. Now leave me alone, so I can eat my buns!" He pointed at the cabins and stared all of them down. They quickly obliged but Noah had to be supported by Trent.

(Confessional)

Trent: I'm disappointed. I mean Amy has immunity which means I can't vote her out. I'm not mad at Noah though, the guy collapsed from exhaustion. He was clearly giving it his all. Still I guess I have to vote for him, considering the girls are immune…

Static

Amy: OMG! That was priceless! Did you see the look on Noah's face? (She laughs)

Static

Noah: Ugh, you know maybe I should be slightly more active...I probably won't be though.

Static

Kitty: I'm glad we won, but I feel bad for Noah. He must have really overworked himself to collapse like that,

Static

/

Elimination began with all the usual fanfare. "This." Chef complained to his charges. "was supposed to be my day! I had it all planned! " He explained as he paced back and forth in front of the campers. "I was gonna eat my sticky buns and relax with one of Amy's facials." The cheerleader gasped. "Then I was gonna read one of Kitty's fashion magazines." The bluenette gasped. "And learn to to play Trent's guitar." The guitarist gasped, then gasped again when Chef told him. "You might wanna tune that thing. It sounded awful."

The camera cut to the guitar in question, which had several broken strings. "Then I was gonna make paper Mache out of Noah's books." The cynic gasped, his mouth agape in shock.

"But you all ruined it!" He finished with an accusing glare as he pointed at them. He reached into his pocket and took out two marshmallows. "So, here's your invinci-darn-bility!" He threw the marshmallows across the fire to a satisfied Amy and Kitty.

Chef was shown in close up, a wide evil grin on his face as the music became tense. The camera cut to Noah and Trent, then began to alternate between the grinning cook, guilty guitarist, and deadpan Noah, as the music ramped up in tension. "Look like we got a tie!" Chef told them sadistically, causing all four campers to gasp. "Which means I get to choose who's leaving, and I choose…" He paused. "Scrawny!" He tossed the last marshmallow to Trent.

"Is this because of getting Crimson to push you off the dock during the slasher challenge?" Noah asked.

"That and your disrespect during the military challenge, not to mention all the times you've made fun of my cooking!" Chef explained.

"Whatever, If I had to lose at least it took the co-host of the show to take me down." Noah decided.

/

The scene cut to Chef Hatchet marching down the dock of shame past the other three campers. "Left. Left. Left, right, left! Come on, soldier! Do I bear a striking resemblance to somebody who's got all day?"

Noah trailed behind him. Luggage in hand. "Maybe if you exercised more, you wouldn't have collapsed like that!." Amy taunted as he passed by.

"Sorry man, I would have loved to go to the finale with you. You played well, and I wish Amy was going home." Trent told him

"Noah, I just want to say, thanks for tolerating me, You've been my biggest comfort since Geoff left." Kitty smiled.

"Oh stop it, I'm allergic to schmaltz." Noah teased.

Kitty held her arms out. "Can I?"

"Make it a side hug." The cynic conceded. Kitty did as he asked.

As the cynic boarded the boat of losers he called back. "Trent, Kitty. Give Amy h*ll for me."

/

A flash took the scene to the final three campers around the campfire pit. "So," Amy smirked. "Looks like we're the final three."

(Confessional)

Amy: I'd just like to thank everyone who got me here. Samey thanks for being so pathetic. Jo thanks for plotting to take me out where I could hear you. Ella, (Tears come to her eyes.) Thank you for supporting me the entire way. Thank you for viewing me as my own person. Most of all thank you for being my only friend. I miss you.

Static

Trent: So the final three. I didn't expect to make it this far. At the same time, Amy is still here. I'm going to bring her down. No matter what it takes!

Static

Kitty: Alright final three! I'm so excited! Don't worry Noah, Amy won't know what hit her!

Static

/

The static cut to Noah on the boat of losers. "Can we get out of here?" He told the driver as the camera moved to his point of view. A creepy tune played as the camera zoomed in to show Saquatchankwa driving the boat. It turned and snarled at Noah, who let out a high pitched shriek. The beast removed it's own head to reveal it was just chef in a costume. Noah rolled his eyes as he snickered.

Then he tore off the head again to show Sasquatchanakwa snarling. Noah yawned as the cycle repeated. The camera zoomed out as Noah remarked. "How long do I have to deal with this trite?"

Chapter Text

"Last time on Total Drama Island…" The recap footage showed several clips of Chris in front of a tattered curtain that looked like the one belonging to the amphitheater. "Yours truly was off MC'ing a swanky awards show. So Chef took over as host." The footage changed to Chef in the kitchen at the beginning of the last episode cleaving a coconut in half. "And man, was he brutal to the campers."

"Not only did he dump them in the middle of the woods to fend for themselves, " The bunk beds are shown being carried away from the teens in the woods. Then Trent is shown looking through the night vision goggles, eventually seeing Kitty and the sasquatchanakwa. "but he left them alone with scary dude Sasquatchanakwa! They ran helter, they ran skelter. They ran into a crowded bat cave. " The boys are shown running into the batcave, followed by the eyes of the campers in the dark, and all four getting chased out of the batcave. "Massive mistake, I might add."

"Ultimately, the two teams decided to camp together for the night." Kitty is shown convincing the others to camp together. "And while Amy stole all the guys' stuff, Noah pocketed the compass so they could get back to camp." Amy is shown stuffing her team's duffle bag with everything, then Noah is shown rolling his eyes and pocketing the compass. "Unfortunately that didn't help him when he collapsed before reaching the totem pole! The guy should really get out more." Noah is shown collapsing on the way to the totem pole, then being supported by Trent.

" In the end, it was cynical nerd Noah who took the Walk of Shame," Noah is shown walking down the dock to the boat of losers. "leaving three glutton-for-punishment campers heading into our most exciting challenge yet!" Kitty, Trent, and Amy are all shown at the campfire pit.

We return to the dock of shame for the close of the recap. "Don't believe me? Then I triple dog dare you to watch this episode of Total. Drama. Island!"

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

A light and revenant tune played as the camera panned down the dock of shame to one of the remaining cabins. The scene cut to a megaphone with a seagull nesting inside it. It's rest is interrupted by Chris talking. The startled bird coughed up a worm. "Campers! Welcome to the semifinals!" Chris announced as the worm attempted to crawl away only to be eaten by a birdbird. "Today, we reward our challengers with an all-you-can-eat pancake breakfast. The scene cut to Chef Hatchet in his kitchen, looking grumpy as usual, a stack of pancakes on the griddle next to him.

"That's right, " The host continued as the cook began to flip a pancake through the air. "genuine food bi-products served with fresh ingredients relatively close to their expiration dates." Chef continued to flip the pancake, until it stuck to the ceiling. He scowled and grabbed a grimey shovel from off screen, scraping the pancake off the ceiling and catching it on his spatula.

(confessional)

Trent: I can't believe I made it this far! Unfortunately so did Amy. Ugh.

Static

Amy: Well of course I made it this far! It was inevitable! My only regret is that Trent is still here. Whatever. It'll be more fun to take him out myself.

Static

Kitty: Yeah! Final three! I guess getting along with others really does pay off.

Static

/

The confessional cuts to the mess hall where the final three are lined up to get pancakes. Amy went first, accepting her stack of pancakes without a word. Trent was next, excited at first but quickly looking horrified when he saw the topmost pancake was covered in dirt, hair and nail clippings. Horrified as he was, he decided not to comment.

Kitty came last with a huge smile on her face, as Chef served her. "Ooh I'm so excited! I haven't had pancakes in so long! These look delicious Chef! Can I have a couple more?"

The cook scowled and placed a couple more on her plate. "Hey are we getting any syrup?" She asked innocently.

Chef scowled at her. "Do I look like a five star restaurant to you?"

"Well, no. I was just wondering-" Chef growled. "Okay, okay! I'm going!"

(confessional)

Trent: I'd love to win, but you know what I want more? Amy to lose.

Static

Amy: I have this in the bag. What's Trent gonna do? Sing me out of the competition? Please. They might as well give me the money now.

Static

Kitty: The final three get all you can eat pancakes! After Chef's sludge,that's almost as good as the 100 grand. Almost.

Static

Trent: I guess if I won, I'd use the money to produce an album. You need some kind of demo disc to make it in the music industry.

Static

Kitty: I'm actually only keeping half the money if I win. I'm giving 50 grand to my sister to help fulfill her dream of going to law school. Not sure what I'll do with my half. Go on vacation?

Static

Amy: When I win, I'm going to buy whatever I want and rub it in Samey's face! (She pauses.) And maybe, like give ten dollars to an animal shelter for Ella.

Static

Trent: I can't wait until this is all over, and I can relax with my girlfriend. I mean Kitty's fun, but Amy is the worst. If I never see her again, it'll be too soon.

Static

Amy: Dealing with all these idiots for the past eight weeks has been torture, but the look on Trent's face when he realizes I've won will make it all worth it. He'll be crushed, and I'll be vindicated.

Static

Kitty: Where would I vacation though? I mean taking Geoff to Paris sounds amazing, but I'd love to visit Hollywood!

Static

Amy: Kitty's shown she has some skill, but it's her willingness to do just about anything that could be a problem.

Static

Kitty: Or I could go to Africa and see all the wildlife! Maybe I could even get a selfie with some lions!

Static

Amy: Seriously, when I saw her eat that grasshopper pizza. Ugh. I bet her breath still smells from that.

Static

Kitty: Ooh and the Venice waterways are something I'd love to see!

Static

Amy: As for Trent, he gets so caught up in his own emotions that he'll be easy to beat. With my skill it'll be a piece of cake.

Static

Trent: Amy's weakness is her Ego, and her only strength is luck.. Seriously she gets brought back to the competition, then somehow manages to avoid getting voted out? It almost feels like there's some kind of malevolent force helping her.

Static

Chris: (He chuckles) You could say that.

Static

Kitty: If only I could visit all of them. Like in a race around the world or something. Not that I'd ever end up in one.

Static

/

The confessional ends to show lights hanging from the amphitheater ceiling. The camera panned down to show the three remaining campers behind a makeshift counter, which was made of a cabinet and crate. From left to right sat Trent, Kitty, and Amy. Chris stood on the other side, facing them.

"Campers," The host began. "Welcome to the semifinals. The producers ran out of insane ways of torturing you, so…" The teens are briefly shown glancing at each other nervously. " they asked the ousted campers for ideas. Turns out they had a lot. They provided us with the sickest, most twisted and insane dares imaginable in TDI's version of…" He stepped aside and a smooth Jazz tune began to play. "Spin the Bottle!" A large wooden wheel somewhat reminiscent of the one used in the torture episode had appeared in the space between Chris and the campers. A large green soda bottle was in place for the spinner, standing out from the red and white starburst pattern behind it. Around the edge of the spinner were photos of every eliminated camper.

"Starting with," As Chris listed the campers off the camera focused on the relevant photo. "Xena, Duncan, Camron, Alejandro, Ellody, Anne Maria, Ella, Tyler, Lightning, Harold, Amber, Geoff, Dawn, Noah, Crimson, Jo, Scott, Samey, and the self proclaimed evil genius Max!"

"Put 'em all together," Chris continued as the camera returned to him. "and we've got a high stakes game of…" He spun the bottle. "I Triple Dog Dare You!"

"Spin the bottle?" Amy scoffed as the jazz ended and the camera panned over to the contestants. "What, are we going to braid each other's hair and play truth or dare now?"

"I've got a truth for you! You're going down!" Trent told her. Amy rolled her eyes.

"Each player will take turns spinning the bottle." Chris continued not acknowledging the contestants' words. The camera had focused on an up close shot of the oversized bottle spinning, eventually the neck of the bottle pointed to Camron. "The camper you land on determines the dare you'll perform." The host walked over to Chef, who was currently dressed in a sparkly pink floor length gown, wearing a matching chef's hat, silver earrings and a matching necklace. He was holding a tray of three regular sized bottles. " You can take the dare yourself and win a get-out-of-dare-freebie," He continued, picking up one of the bottles. "or inflict the dare on a fellow camper in hopes of booting them out."

"And what if we refuse to do it?" Amy asked.

The game show tune ended with an ominous note. "Oh. Not a good option. " He began as the ominous music swelled. " Anyone who chickens out of their dare will be sent directly to the Dock of Shame, " The camera panned down said dock to the already waiting boat of losers. "board the Boat of Losers. Do not go to bonfire." A dramatic note played, as the focus returned to Chris. "Do not collect marshmallow. " Another dramatic sting, "And do not get to win one hundred thousand dollars." As he mentioned said prize, a red canoe filled with dollar bills dropped on to the stage, accompanied by a game show tune.

(confessional)

Kitty: A sudden death challenge? This is awesome!

"Okay. " Chris said as he stepped behind his makeshift podium. "Who's ready to humiliate themselves first?"

Music played and Campers remained silent, acting as build up until one of them relented. "Fine. I'll go first." Trent said. "The sooner we get this over with, the sooner Amy is gone." He walked to the wheel and spun the bottle.

(confessional)

Chris: Okay. So here's the deal. Chef and I have a little side bet going. Whoever pukes first has to pony up a hundred bucks.

Static

/

"Okay. Let's get this party started!" Chris exclaimed as the camera focused on Trent watching the bottle spin around. It landed on a certain delinquent. "Duncan's dare." He began to read off a note card. "Eat Chef's toenails."

Dramatic beats played as each contestant grimaced. First Trent, then Amy, then Kitty. Trent, you can perform the dare yourself, or dare one of your competitors to do it."

Trent closed his gaping maw, a look of determination on his face. "Either way someone's eating some toenails in the next minute."

He didn't hesitate for a second. "I triple dog dare Amy."

The camera focused on Amy, who glanced at Chef. The cook smiled evilly as he held out a plate of already clipped toenails. They were yellow, with clear spots of dirt under them. He set the plate down in front of her. She swallowed and put the nails in her mouth. Tense music played as she chewed. When she finally finished she fell over, gagging.

The shadows of Chris as Chef loomed over her form as they chuckled. "Oh, man! That was so sick! I nearly puked!" Chef gave him a look in askance. "Nearly." The cook nodded.

/

Amy drank a glass of water before walking to the spinner and sending it around. After a few tense seconds it landed on Camron. " Camron's dare is," Chris pulled out a card and read it. "Lick Jo's sweaty hoodie, slowly."

Chef held up the long gray garment, a smirk on his face. Amy smirked back. "Trent."

The guitarist winced and went to center stage, where he leaned forward and gagged. "Ugh."

"What's the matter Trent?" Amy taunted.

Trent glared and leaned forward, sticking out his tongue and licking the hoodie. Just as he was about to stop, Amy called. "Remember Trent. Slowly."

The guitarist slowly moved his tongue up a large portion of the hoodie. Then spat a few times. "There. You happy?"

"Just enjoying the fact Samey has to kiss that same mouth." Amy cackled.

"At least I have someone to kiss." Trent retorted.

/

The game show tune began again as Kitty stepped up to the wheel and spun it. It landed on Ellody. "Ellody," Chris announced. "Re-chewing a wad of Harold's gum."

Chef presented a jar containing a large wad of chewing gum, Chef was holding it with tongs. "That's it? I can do that!" Kitty claimed.

"Eww!" Amy cried. For his part Trent looked disgusted.

"Girl," Chris began, surprised. "It's chewed gum. Harold's chewed gum." The camera focused on Harold's picture, where he's picking his nose.

"And I've eaten worms with snail slime and hairballs. That wasn't even the worst thing I ate that day. I can do this!" Kitty told him.

Chef pulled his pink gloves tight and opened the jar. He lowered in the tongs and placed the gum in her mouth, as the other campers looked on in horror. She began to chew it. "Hmm, too much gum, spit tastes gross, smells kinda citrusy." She gagged for the first time. "Ugh. What is that crunchy center? Gum shouldn't be crunchy."

Ominous music played as the camera showed Harold's picture again. He's picking his nose. The implication is clear. Chris and Chef both cover their mouths as though trying not to puke. ":Okay that's enough." Chris told her. Kitty spat the gum back into the jar quickly. "Kitty wins the first freebie! And a tetanus shot! If you want."

"Sure." Kitty agreed.

(Confessional)

Trent: This is gonna be hard, but I have to beat Amy!"

Static

The scene faded into an overview of the island before cutting to Chris' smiling face in the amphitheater. " Welcome back to TDI's semifinals," He began as the game show tune returned. "in a challenge we like to call I Triple Dog Dare You! Trent." He gestured to his side. "you're up next."

The guitarist spun the overly large bottle, it landed on the scheming farmer Scott. "Let yourself be dunked into a pool of Chef's mystery meat." Trent shuddered. But nodded. "Okay. I'll do it."

A flash transition later and Chef has a pool filled with mystery meat. Trent is standing in the pool and Chef smirks at him. Then he pushes him under, like when you dunk someone in the pool. Trent stays under a few moments before coming back up, covered in meat.

"Wow Trent, I'm happy you didn't 'meat' your maker!" Chris laughed.

"Just give me my freebie." The guitarist said with a glare. Chris handed it to him, and he sloshed back to the table.

"My turn." Amy snapped. "I'll get my own freebie! So there." She walked to the spinner and gave the bottle a spin. It landed on Tyler.

(Confessional)

Amy: Please, like I was gonna let Trent beat me. How hard could the dare be? I'd already eaten Chef's toenails.

Static

/

"You need to eat this block of moldy cheese." Chris told her as Chef held up a block of cheese covered in green mold with a pair of tongs.

"Are those the same tongs you used on Harold's gum?" Amy asked.

"Yep." Chris smirked.

"You did wash them. Right?" The cheerleader gulped.

"Nope." Chef cackled.

"If I puke do I lose?" Amy asked.

"If you finish the block first then we'll count it.

Amy swallowed and took the block of cheese from the tongs. She stared at it for a second then began to eat it. The camera cut to Trent looking on in horror, then back Amy as she shoved the last bit into her mouth. She chewed as quickly as she could, then swallowed with a gag.

Moments later she barfed. Large chunks of cheese landed on the stage. Chris was shown grimacing at the sight but he quickly recovered. "You still cool?" He asked Chef. Despite the cook's horrified expression he nodded his head.

/

The footage flashed ahead to show Amy lying on a gurney with a breathing mask over her mouth and nose, and the beep of a heart monitor in the background. " Okay." Chris said. We'll give Amy a few more minutes on life support before we start the next round. Until then Chef made snacks. Grilled cheese anyone?" He gestured to his co host who walked up with a tray of grilled cheese sandwiches. Amy puked again, but Chef and Chris were unfazed. They began eating the sandwiches.

/

The footage cut forward to show the bottle landing on Anne Maria. "Let me guess, I have to spray tan myself?" Kitty joked.

"Nope, your dare is," He paused. "Run around the campgrounds in nothing but Jo's sweaty hoodie!"

Chef held up the gray garment for the second time this challenge. Kitty raised an eyebrow. "What's with the dares involving Jo's hoodie?"

"I dunno, but are you gonna take it?" Chris asked.

"Well, the hoodie should be long enough to cover everything important..." Kitty trailed. she smirked. "Yeah Let's do this!"

A skip forward showed Kitty running through the camp in Jo's hoodie. It did cover everywhere important. Several clips of her running past familiar places are shown. First the cabins, then the dock of shame, the mess hall, the arts and craft center, the boathouse, and then back to the stage.

/

Chris handed another freebie to Kitty, who was back in her normal clothes, then Trent was shown spinning the bottle. It landed on Max, prompting Chris to say. "allow yourself to be covered in fire ants." Trent gave Amy an evil look.

Amy gulped. "Ooh that's a good one! Fire ant bites burn so bad!" Kitty laughed.

"I'll use my freebie thanks." Amy said.

"Good call." Chris told her as she held up her soda bottle. The footage skipped ahead to show Amy standing next to the bottle as it spun again. It landed on a picture of Geoff. "Drink powdered fruit punch from the communal toilet."

Amy grinned and pointed at Trent. Who looked grossed out. " Quite the predicament, Trent." Chris said, a finger under his chin in thought. The camera shifted to a nervous Trent. "Do you use the freebie?" The focus shifted back to Chris who began wiggling his fingers creepily. "Or do I save it for an even sicker dare down the road? " The focus shifted to Trent one final time. "What to do? What to do?"

Trent gained a determined look. "I'll do it!"

(Confessional)

Chris: So freakin' sick. Chef's going down.

Static

The camera showed the communal bathrooms from the outside, before cutting inside and showing one of the stalls opening to reveal an extremely gross toilet. Flies buzzed around it. A can of fruit punch powder is poured into the toilet. Then Chris' hand is shown plunging the toilet as a sickly yellow liquid splashed out. Chris removed the plunger and the camera zoomed out to show Chef, Chris, and Gwen all looking at the toilet's contents with horror.

"No way. That's so gross!" Chris said, then he laughed heartily. He handed Trent a bendy straw. The guitarist took it, literally shuddering at what he was about to do. Then he bent over and drank the contents of the toilet. It didn't remain outside the toilet for long as Trent immediately puked it back into the toilet.

Chris and Chef cover their mouths, clearly trying not to throw up themselves. They manage to swallow whatever ended up in their mouths before their bet could be decided.

/

In the next shot Amy is shown smirking to her left, the camera pans to show Trent leaning over, his mouth covered in puke. Kitty got up to leave as Amy leaned closer to Trent.

"At this rate kissing you might be enough punishment for Samey!" She taunted. Trent got his revenge by burping in her face.

The camera cut over to Kitty as she spun the bottle a third time. It landed on Amber. "Consume an unlabeled can of wet dog food." Chris read. He looked excited at the prospect.

"Why an unlabeled can?" Kitty asked.

"Well, if a can is unlabeled you don't know what's in it. Who knows what kind of dog food it is?" Chris shrugged.

"Hmm… you know what? It can't be more harmful than what you've already made me eat." Kitty decided.

Chef walked to her holding a plate already containing a can shaped mound of wet dog food. Chris took it from him. "Girl, you have two freebies! Better yet you could dare an opponent. You know, like one without a freebie?"

The camera cut to Amy, who glared. It cut out enough to show Trent as well. He waved his at her as though trying to waft away a scent. "Your breath still smells like moldy cheese."

"You should talk toilet breath." Amy snapped back.

The focus returns Kitty, Chef, and Chris. "I'm pretty sure I'll be fine." Kitty waved the host off.. She took the spoon given to her and shoveled the meat into her mouth as quickly as possible until the plate was clean. Kitty swallowed. "You know this is still better than Chef's cream of bunion soup during the eating challenge."

Chris bent over and puked, before reluctantly handing Chef the hundred dollars he owed. The cook only looked satisfied for a moment before he too puked. Trent and Amy both looked at each other, their cheeks bulging. Then the barfed as well.

(Confessional)

Chris: Okay. That was so gross! (He pukes again.) Is there nothing these freaks won't do?

The smooth jazz tune began to play as a montage of dares was shown. The spinning bottle landed on Alejandro, and the scene cut to show Chef holding a blender of grasshoppers. He blended them and Amy was shown having to drink it. The bottle landed on Jo and Trent is shown attempting to wrestle a bear. The bottle landed on Dawn and Chef was shown handing a roach to Kitty, who kissed it.

The bottle landed on Crimson and Amy is shown as Chef places a live bat in her hair. The bottle landed on Lighting and Trent was down sucking on a raw egg, the discarded shells of several others to the side. The bottle landed on Kitty and she is shown punching an alligator.

The montage ended as did the jazzy tune. " I can't believe no one's dropped out." Chris exclaimed. "And Kitty has ten freebies!"

"Well I can't resist a good dare." The selfie lover shrugged.

"Trent and Amy have squat." Chris continued as the camera panned out to show Amy with no freebies and Trent with only the one from before. " But not to worry. There's still plenty to be motivated about."

"Kitty, we gotta beat Amy. Noah asked us to." Trent whispered to Kitty.

"You're right, but how? Amy's still gonna target you." The selfie lover whispered back.

"True…" Trent trailed.

Kitty snapped her fingers. "I got it! What if I gave half my freebies to you?"

"Kitty you earned those fair and square. I couldn't take them from you." The guitarist told her.

"Too late." Kitty giggled. She spoke up. "Hey Chris, can I give five of my freebies to Trent?"

"Uh, well, uh, okay. Are you sure?" The host asked, surprised. Kitty answered by sliding five of her freebies to Trent.

"Hey! That isn't fair! Get your rule book out! There's no way that's allowed!" Amy snapped.

"Sorry. Them's the rules." Chris pretends to open a book ."Not a rule to be had. Nada."

Amy pouted and Trent walked to the wheel and gave it a good spin. It landed on Xena. "Drink a blended puree of Chef's mystery meat." Chris read.

Chef walked to Trent, holding an entire blender of the stuff. Trent smirked. "Okay, Amy. Your turn."

Reluctantly Amy drank the whole in one gulp. Then immediately puked.

A second montage began, once more with the jazzy tune. Amy was shown jumping out of a kiddie pool filled with Leeches.. Next she was shown having a snapping turtle bite her nose, the camera pulled out to show her covered in them. Trent is shown next lying on his back as a spider was lowered into his mouth.

A few short clips were shown of Trent and Kitty holding up their freebies before Amy is shown standing on a barrel as arrows were shot at her. Luckily she managed to dodge them all. Chef is shown removing his filthy sock. He put it on his hand. Then he put a pair of ping pong ball eyes on top and moved it into a cardboard palace. Amy stood in the palace wearing a red princess hat. She reluctantly kissed the sock and Chef put a crown on its head. The scene zoomed out to show Chris and the other two contestants watching it like a play.

A grumpy pig is shown next to a large pile of manure. Chef fills a metal bucket with it then puts the bucket on Amy's head. The camera zoomed out to show she had been forced into a long cannon. Chris turned it to face the pile, then shot Amy waist deep into it, the bucket still on her head.

/

The montage ended as did the music. It was Trent's turn to spin again. He did so and the bottle landed on Sammy's picture.

"Finally I get a break. I can easily handle anything Samey could come up with." Amy smirked.

"Ooh, you're not gonna like this one." Chris laughed before reading the card aloud. "Let Chef give you a mohawk.."

"What!" Amy exclaimed.

A flash transition later and Amy was sitting in a chair as Chef approached with a shaver. "What's it going to be, Amy? Are you going to do the dare?" Chef moved the shaver closer to her head.. "Or the Walk of Shame?" The camera panned to the docked boat, which gave a few honks. The shot switched rapidly from the shaver, to the canoe of money, back to Amy shaking nervously, to Trent and Kitty watching with anticipation, then back to the shaver.

Amy jerked her head away from Chef's hand, the cook lost his balance and the scene slowed as the shaver shaved a line down the left side of her scalp. "No!" The cheerleader screamed.

The scene returned to normal as Amy sat up, almost the entire left side of her scalp was shaved. "What?!"

"Wow. " Chris blinked. "Well, that was an unfortunate accident. Looks like Amy's out."

"What?! But he shaved my head!" Amy complained.

"Yeah, but the dare was to get a mohawk. So it doesn't count. If you'd just let Chef do his thing you'd still be in the game." Chris smirked.

"Wow. That was harsh." Kitty said. "It'll grow back, don't worry."

Amy snarled. "Grow back? Do you know how long that will take!"

"Sorry. It must suck to be you." Chris said cheekily. "But here's the rub. You lose. They win."

Trent and Kitty jumped up and cheered, Giving each other a high five. "We did it! Amy's out of the game!" The guitarist cheered.

"I hope that was enough for you Noah!" Kitty told the camera.

Amy growled. "You can't get rid of me! I'm the star! My daddy will hear about this!"

"Yeah, yeah. I know. It's gonna be a long ride." Chris said, throwing the keys to Chef. Kitty and Trent followed him.

/

"It's gonna be a long ride to court!" Amy scoffed as she stepped onto the boat of losers. Chef entered the boat's cabin still wearing his pink dress, as the elimination theme played in the background.

"And then there were two." Chris said, the camera panned to him and the remaining two campers, as the boat drove off." Tune in to see who will win the check for $100,000 on Total. Drama. Island!"

"You'd better hope your lawyers wrote a good contract! If there's any loopholes my daddy's legal team will find them!" Amy yelled as the ship moved on.

Chapter Text

A serene tune played as we were shown the dock of shame from some point on the beach, the sun was just a little over the horizon. " Ahh. Morning in Muskoka. " Chris' narrated calmly. "The birds chirping." Two blue birds with light purple undersides were shown on a rock close by the dock. "The loon calling." Said dark water fowl is shown as it lets out it's distinct cry. "The majestic gentle sounds of beautiful Northern Ontario." The camera panned over the camo facilities, accompanied by the cries of many birds. The atmosphere is ruined by a shout of glee from one of the cabins.

"Welcome." Chris began excitedly as he popped into view wearing a turquoise and Magenta party hat." to the most dramatic thrilling episode yet!" He blew a party horn with colors matching his hat, then the scene cut to show the host leaning against the camp's totem pole. " It's been a long eight weeks at Camp Wawanakwa and Total Drama Island is about to come to an end."

A flash transition showed the host now standing on top of the mess hall roof, leaning against the chimney. "Today, two campers remain. By sundown, only one will be left standing."

"The camper," Chris continued, now standing near the campfire pit. "That camper will go home with a check for $100,000! Who will it be? Cheerful, spontaneous, selfie lover Kitty?" A clip of Kitty taking a selfie with Geoff and Duncan is shown. "Or perfect dreamboat turned vindictive lover Trent?" A clip of Trent playing his guitar at the talent show is shown, followed quickly by him arguing with Amy.

"Go grab a snack," The host suggested, now at his usual spot on the dock of shame. "have a pee if you have to. Sit your butt down and get ready for… the dramatic final conclusion of… Total. Drama. Island!" The final three words were punctuated as always by the camera zooming out from the island more and more until the whole island was shown.

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much headway. The camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

The episode proper opened with Chris sitting on one of the many stumps near the campfire. "Welcome back." He addressed the audience. "We asked our finalists to record their thoughts in our confessional booth before going into the final round."

(confessional)

Kitty: It's been a totally killer time! (Her words were accompanied by a short montage of clips. First her saying Hi to Geoff in episode one, then her laughing at Geoff's obliviousness in episode four, and finally her being flung through the air by a moose in episode thirteen.)

Static

Trent: What was it like? (A montage of clips is shown. First Trent and Sammy talking in episode two, then Trent and Amy arguing while they cooked in episode ten, then Trent and Sammy kissing in episode sixteen, and finally Trent and Amy arguing while handcuffed in episode twenty two.) It was both the best and worst time of my life.

Static

Chef: You think it's easy cookin' for twenty-two ungrateful teenagers? Man, I've had better jobs in prison.

Static

Kitty: the food was okay actually. (Clips of Kitty eating the dolphin dog during episode fifteen, the tray of food from episode twenty two, and the pancakes from the last episode were shown.)

Static

Chef: At least someone's appreciative. Slavin' all day at a hot stove.

Static

Trent: The food was gross. (Clips of Trent being force fed grasshopper pizza in episode fifteen, drinking the fruit punch from the toilet last episode, and staring at unappetizing white paste in episode twenty are shown.)

Static

Chef: "Less rat droppings". Does this look like a five-star restaurant to you?

Static

Kitty: The people were amazing!

Static

Trent: Most of the people here were fine. Some of the nicest, (Ella is shown), smartest, (Ellody is shown), Most analytical, (Xena is shown), Enthusiastic., (Tyler is shown.), insightful, (Dawn is shown), friendly, (Geoff is shown), Earnest, (Camron is shown), Determined, (Amber is shown), Charismatic, (Alejandro is shown), cool, (Duncan is shown), sweetest, (Sammy is shown), and snarkiest (Noah is shown) people I've ever met.

Of course there were some I didn't like. (Scott, Jo, Lightning, Amy, and Anne Maria are all shown)

Static

Kitty: The one thing I'll be remembered for? (A series of clips showing Kitty taking selfies are shown.) My friendly personality.

Static

Trent: What will I be remembered for? (clips of him supporting others, especially Sammy are shown) Being a supportive person I hope.

A copse of trees was shown briefly before the camera zoomed out to show the two finalists and the host in a clearing. Behind them was a white line across the ground, and behind that the bleachers that were usually in the amphitheatre. A large picture of Kitty is over the right one, and a picture of Trent is over the left.

"Now it's time to welcome the twenty campers who did not make it to the finals." The host gestured right as the campers began to file in Max, Lightning, Tyler, Anne Maria, Camron, Ellody, Harold, Xena, Duncan, Geoff, Amy, Ella, Dawn, Scott, Sammy, Jo, Noah, Crimson, Amber, and Alejandro. The two finalists waved at them as they passed with Kitty blushing at Geoff blowing a kiss, and Trent smiling at Sammy and glaring at Amy.

"Would everyone who's walked the Dock of Shame," The host chuckled. "and left camp on the Boat of Losers kindly take a seat in the Peanut Gallery of Failure? The side you choose should represent who you would like to cheer on to victory in today's final competition." As he spoke, ten campers sat on the Selfie lovers side, Duncan, Scott, Geoff, Amy, Ella, Dawn, Jo, Ellody, Noah, and Crimson. After they sat, the camera panned right to show the remaining ten campers on Trent's side. Max, Lightning, Tyler, Anne Maria, Camron, Harold, Xena, Sammy, Alejandro, and Amber,

Notably Amy has had her hair styled into a right sided fade. Trent chuckled. "Nice hair cut, suits you."

"screw off." The blonde replied.

(Confessional)

Amy: Trent's going down. I left a little surprise for him this morning. (Amy is shown leaving a plate of three cookies in front of Trent's side of the cabin, with a note. She runs away and Trent exits the building. He picks up the note and reads it. "Good luck Sweetie! Love Sammy?" After the scene ends Amy holds up a box of high fiber cookies.) That should go right through him.

Static

Amy smiled from her seat. The camera panned left to a frowning Trent. "Amy looks pleased with herself."

"Yeah. That's concerning." Kitty noted. "But it's not like she can do anything."

From Trent's side Amber stood up. "Uh Chris? I thought we were voting on the winner? So why is it a competition?"

"Oh. That." The host chuckled. "I lied. The producers and I thought a challenge would be a way more interesting final episode."

"If I had known that I would have voted out different people." Alejandro frowned. Amber sighed and sat next to him.

"Typical Chris." the bookworm muttered.

"We'll get revenge on him later, I assure you." Alejandro whispered back. Amber smirked.
"Trent, Kitty, this is your chance to tell the Peanut Gallery of Failure what you would do with the money if you won, and why you deserve it?"

"I feel like I did great to get this far! I made a ton of friends while doing it. Half my money is going to my sister to help her get her law degree, but with the remaining fifty thousand, I'm going on Vacation. I'm also going to throw a wicked party and you're all invited!"

"Yeah! That's my girl! Woohoo!" Geoff cheered, the others quickly joined.

Anne Maria got up and moved to Kitty's side. "Trent might be hotter but you can't argue with a party," She explained.

"Wow, that's really sweet, and not nearly as boring as I'd thought." Chris smiled. "Trent?"

Trent smiled. "Well I'm planning to use some of my money on a demo disc to start my music career, but I'd be happy to throw a party to celebrate. Amy's not invited."

The mean twin scoffed. "Like I'd want to go to your party!"

Anne Maria walked back to Trent's side. Everyone gave her an odd look. "What? I'm easy."

"All right." Chris announced as the camera cut out to show the entire cast. "It's time for the final challenge. The rejected Olympic relay race." A clip of chef wearing a red tracksuit and running whilst carrying a plunger lit on fire is shown. "Each of the three parts was pitched to the committee," The host continued as Chef raised the lit plunger high. "but sadly rejected as an Olympic sport." Now standing next to a three tier podium with a toilet atop the center tier, Chef doused the plunger in the toilet. Steam rose out of it.

"First," Chris began as the clip cut to him and the finalists. "each of you has to put on one of these." He threw a pair of animal hats to the two finalists. A cow hat for Trent, and a chicken hat for Kitty.

Kitty smiled as she put her hat on. "I don't get why this was rejected."

"I do." Trent replied.

"Dressed as a cow and a chicken," Chris continued. " run to the first location." The camera panned right to show a set of flagpoles. An Orange flag atop the left, and a purple flag atop the right. "and shimmy up the pole to retrieve your flag. If you don't have the flag," He explained as the camera cut back to him. "don't bother comin' down off that pole!"

A shot of Kitty's bleachers shows her supporters smiling. "Yeah! My girl can totally own that pole!" Geoff cheered.

"Next, " Chris explained as the camera cut to a couple of long thin planks of wood laying across a wide gap. "You will cross a three hundred meter balance beam, suspended over a massive gorge, " The camera zoomed out slowly to show a nest on a large tree stump near the planks, containing three eggs. "while carrying an eagle's egg."

Trent and Kitty both looked stunned. "Well that seems simple enough." The selfie lover managed to say.

"That's not all," Chris replied. "Below," The camera panned down the gorge to show water at the bottom and within that water two sharks. "your friends, the rare, but real, man-eating, freshwater sharks." Said sharks lick their nonexistent lips.

"I don't think I agree, Kitty. It seems hard." Trent frowned.

"The final leg of the race, " The host said. " is a long distance run. Returning to the finish line here. First camper to arrive wins."

"Well," Trent began, reluctantly putting on his cow hat. "Good luck. If I have to lose, at least it's to someone so nice."

"Right back at you!" Kitty agreed.

"Yeah! Go Kitty! You can do it! Then we'll party like crazy!" Geoff called from the bleachers.

"Totally!" Kitty cheered, her supporters responding in kind.

"You totally got this Trent!" Harold cheered. He frowned at a nearby Xena. "Show some support! You could at least smile."

"How is smiling going to improve Trent's performance?" The blonde asked.

"It'll encourage him." The ginger explained. Xena raised a brow at this, her lips remaining flat.

"On your marks," Chris declared once the noise died down. "get set," The finalist got into a runner's crouch as Chris raised a hand. "Go!" The host brought his hand down indicating the race had begun and the two campers were off.

Somewhat tense music began to play as Kitty and Trent raced for the flags, Geoff began to run beside the selfie lover, Duncan just behind him. Meanwhile Trent was joined by Sammy, Amber, and Alejandro.

"I have faith in you amigo." The Spaniard said.

"Don't focus on speed right away. Pace yourself until the final stretch. You're hydrated right?" Amber coached.

(Confessional)

Trent: I get Amber's trying to be helpful but focusing on all those things at once stresses me out.

Static

The confessional cut to Trent reaching the left flagpole and trying to shimmy up it. Amber, Alejandro, and Sammy wait at the bottom. Kitty quickly caught up and began to climb her own pole.

"Amigo! You must climb faster!" Alejandro called up.

"I'm trying but the pole's slippery!" The guitarist protested.

The camera cut to Amy holding a large tube of Vaseline and smirking.

"Worry not my friend. I shall assist you." Alejandro said, removing his shirt and using it to clean the flagpole.

"Ooh" Kitty said from her spot three fourths the way up her flagpole. She was so caught up in staring at Alejandro that she slid the rest of the way down her flagpole. "Oops." She giggled.

Trent shimmied up as Amber stared with her mouth open.``Like what you see?" The Spaniard smirked.

"Uh huh." The brunette said. She smacked herself. "We're supposed to be helping Trent!"

"He seems to have helped himself really." Alejandro said. The camera cut to Trent shimmying up the second half of his flagpole and grabbing the flag.

"I'm coming down!" The guitarist called. He slid down the pole quickly.

Meanwhile Kitty was making her way back up to grab the flag. She grabs it and slides down just as Trent had. "Yeah! I got the flag." She cheered.

"Celebrate later Kit Kat, Trent's got the lead!" Duncan told her.

Kitty looked to see the guitarist was already running off, with his three member entourage trailing. "Right!"

/

Kitty: I gotta say it's great Duncan has my back. It's a lot harder to make him distracted.

Static

/

The confessional cut to the second part of the relay where Chris and a brunette man wearing a white hat, sunglasses, a white tank top, blue shorts and matching sandals are standing on one side of the gorge. "Okay, new intern." The host said. " I know it's weird that you're starting on our last show, but all of the other interns died already." If the intern had any concerns about this, they were edited out. "All you have to do is test out this final challenge to make sure it's moderately safe."

The intern looked into the gorge, and one of the sharks leapt up into the air, while another waved at him, baring its teeth.

Intense background music began as the intern began to cross the thin plank. "Don't look down, dude!" Chris advised, unfortunately this caused the intern to get distracted and lose his balance. He swayed a few times before dropping with a cartoonish whistle and landing with a splash. The sounds of sharks devouring him could be heard. "Well." Chris said as his frown was exchanged for a shrug. "That looks safe enough."

/

Trent, still wearing his cow hat, was shown running, with Sammy, Alejandro, and Amber trailing behind him. "Not that I don't appreciate the support, but why exactly are you here? I mean I get Sammy, but what about you two?"

"I just want to make sure you're safe." Amber replied.

"As one of my few friends I must show my support. Watching from the sidelines isn't really me." Alejandro said.

Sammy smirked. "Or he's trying to make up for voting Amber out by supporting her choice to win."

Trent donned a matching smirk. "She's right isn't she?"

Alejandro quickly masked his surprise. "Believe what you will."

"Look there's the gorge!" Sammy said. The four of them stop at the mouth of the gorge, the eagle's nest is nearby. They all look down the gorge and the camera pans down to show the freshwater sharks are circling. Back up top Sammy swallows. "That's a deep gorge."

"It doesn't look that bad," Trent said, trying to play it off.

"We'll wait for you on the other side, I doubt those boards can support more than one person's weight." Amber noted.

"Thanks." Trent sighed.

/

Chris, Chef, Sammy, Amber, and Alejandro are shown on the other side of the gorge from Trent. The guitarist grabbed an eagle egg as began to make his way across. " Okay." Chris narrated. "Trent has his eagle's egg and is starting the second challenge."

"What are the eagle eggs for anyway?" Sammy asked nervously.

"Oh, you'll see. " Chef chuckled.

The camera cut back to the other side of the gorge as Kitty and her entourage arrived. "That looks like a gnarly fall." The selfie lover swallowed.

"You can do it Kitty! Just go slowly, no need to rush." Geoff said.

"Kit Kat, you need to focus." Duncan coached. "Don't think about anything but moving forward and keeping your balance. Fear will only hold you back. You got this."

Kitty took a deep breath and nodded. "Let's do this." She grabbed an eagle egg and started to slowly walk across it.

The music grew tense as Trent lost his balance, swaying back and forth on his beam. The camera showed several close ups of each person watching. First Amy, who looked like she wanted Trent to fall. After that Chris, Chef, and Sammy are shown watching nervously. Then Geoff and Duncan, the former nervous, the latter excited. Then Alejandro who seemed nervous, and Amber who had buried her head into the former's chest. "I can't look."

Trent started to regain his balance and Sammy encouraged him. "You can do it Trent. Just stay calm and regain your balance."

Kitty meanwhile had stopped moving, invested in Trent's safety. "Please don't fall…"

"I wasn't planning to!" Trent replied. He finally regained his balance, and each of the watchers is shown looking relieved, save a disappointed Amy.

"When are those cookies gonna do something?" The blonde whispered.

The two finalists are shown sliding slowly across their respective boards. A series of angry screeches can be heard through the air. "What was that?!"

Kitty gasped and pointed in the air. "Look!" Two eagles are shown heading towards them.

The camera cut to Chris, Duncan, Ella, and Dawn."Angry eagle parents?" The host said.

Duncan slapped the host's hand. "Oh, snap, that is messed up!"

"Duncan! Those creatures could get hurt defending their young!" The princess cried.

"Not only that, but our friends' are in peril!" Dawn told him.

"Relax,this is awesome TV." Duncan scoffed.

(Confessional)

Ella: Why is Duncan so mean?

Static

Dawn: I understand wanting to rebel against your parents strict upbringing, but it makes Duncan's actions no less awful.

Static

"Why would anyone want to watch this!" Ella exclaimed.

"This is life at its most raw." Duncan explained. " Check out cheer squad here." The camera panned to show Sammy gripping her left arm anxiously. Her eyes wide. " One misstep and her boyfriend is shark bait."

"That's terrible! The sharks didn't do anything!" Ella cried. Duncan gave her an odd look. "And Sammy would be dejected if her prince died." She added.

"Ella, is there any way you can calm down the eagles with your voice?" Dawn asked in concern. Ella opened her mouth and Chris put a hand over it.

"Nuh uh. No singing." The host smirked.

(Confessional)

Ella: I would have loved to help those birds…

Static

The eagles screeched and dove again. "They're coming back around!" Trent cried. "What do we do?!"

"Go faster!" Kitty said. The two began to quicken their pace. Still not walking, but not running either.

Amber frowned as she watched. "I feel so useless!"

The camera focused on Sammy as she encouraged Trent. "You can do this Trent. You have to! You're the first guy who ever listened to my problems, and tried to help! So please don't die!"

"Sammy," Trent said, ducking under one of the eagles as it dove for him again. "I appreciate it, but I really can't handle any distractions!"

"There has to be a way we can help Trent!" Amber said. Alejandro smirked and moved to the end of the gorge. He took off his shirt with practiced ease. Kitty noticed this immediately, getting distracted by the Spaniard for the second time that challenge.

"Ooh, that's just...wow." The selfie lover said.

Trent meanwhile was catching up to the bluenette. The Camera panned up to show one of the eagles looking stunned at the attractive Spaniard, the other ran straight into it, and the two landed in the water at the bottom of the gorge. The sharks were also staring up in awe, their pupils having transformed into hearts.

The scene cut to the top of the cliff where Geoff got in front of Alejandro. "Kitty ignore the incredibly hot dude and keep going!"

The selfie lover shook herself out of her daze. "Right!" She walked quicker to catch up to Trent, now that the eagles were gone it was a lot easier to cross. The two finalists made it across at about the same time and placed their eggs into the nest. "Nice try Alejandro."

"Not a nice try!" Ella cried now standing near the nest of eggs. "These chicks will be parentless!"

Dawn is shown patting Ella on the back. "Don't worry, we'll find them a shelter after the competition."

Trent ran off with Sammy, Kitty ran off with Duncan and Geoff. Alejandro and Amber pick up their pace in an attempt to catch up

/

The scene cut to Trent running with Sammy, still at his side. "I'm so glad you didn't die!" Sammy said.

"Me too. By the way, did you leave me some cookies this morning?" The guitarist asked.

"No? Why?" Sammy asked.

"I thought not. I think your sister was trying to sabotage me." Trent admitted.

"That does sound like her, but how would she do it with cookies?" The sweet twin asked.

"I don't know, but I didn't eat them." Trent smiled.

"How'd you know I didn't leave them?" Sammy said.

"I didn't think you'd call me sweetie. You don't really have a pet name for me." The guitarist said. "So I decided to be cautious."

"What did you do with the cookies anyway?"

/

A flashback shows Trent frowning at the note in suspicion he takes the cookies and walks to the nearest garbage can to throw them out.

/

"Oh. I guess that makes sense." Sammy said. Kitty caught up to them, Geoff still with her.

"Hey, guys. How are things going for you?" The selfie lover asked.

"Pretty well. I avoided whatever Amy was trying to do to me." Trent smiled.

"Well that's good." The selfie lover replied. She glanced around. "Uh, where are Amber and Alejandro?"

As though talking about them made them appear, the charmer, and bookworm finally catch up. It doesn't take long to figure out why they had trailed behind. "Come on Chica. I was only trying to help Trent win by distracting Kitty. It's not like I meant any harm." Alejandro told her.

"You distracted Kitty while she was walking across a gorge with man eating sharks! She could have gotten hurt!" Amber retorted

"Need I remind you I distracted the eagles and sharks too!" The Spaniard replied.

"Because orphaning those eagle chicks really makes it better!" The bookworm snapped.

"How was I to know that would happen?" Alejandro frowned.

"Well maybe next time you should actually think before enacting a plan!" the brunette told him, she deliberately moved to run by Sammy.

Trent frowned at Alejandro. "Look dude, in this situation, it would be best to apologize. No amount of justification will get her to agree with you."

Alejandro looked thoughtful.

/

The scene cut to the contestants waiting at the finish line. Chris and Chef are holding a large red ribbon over the white line from earlier. In the stand each of the former contestants are shown doing their things. In Trent's stands, Tyler and Lightning are arm wrestling. Lightning beats him easily. Camron, Harold, and Xena are all engaged in a conversation. Anne Maria is on the top row spraying her hair, which a nearby Max seemed annoyed by. In Kitty's stands Jo was doing push ups on the ground near the stands, Ellody chatting to Crimson, who remained indifferent, Noah was reading, Scott was whittling and Duncan stood at the top of the stands scanning the horizon.

The deviant stood up and joined Duncan. "So you looking for Kitty?"

"No, I'm hoping to find the city of Atlantis." Duncan scoffed.

"It was just a question." Scott defended. "Anyway. I was thinking maybe we could help her win? You know, sabotage Trent?"

"Kit Kat doesn't need anyone to sabotage for her. You are right though. I could help her win." Duncan acknowledged. He jumped to the ground and approached Chris. "Hey you know that megaphone you're always yelling at us with?"

"Yeah? It's in my trailer." The host told him.

"Good. I'm borrowing it." Duncan said.

/

The footage cut back to Trent and Kitty running through the woods, now with only Geoff.. "You can do it babe!" The party dude said. "I'll be here cheering!"

"Thanks. Where'd Alejandro, Amber, and Sammy go?" Kitty asked.

"Sammy said she'd wait for me at the finish line. Something about making sure Amy didn't try to trip me or something.I guess the others went with her" Trent said.

/

Back at the stands Trent's supposition is proven true as now all but Geoff are there. Amber, Sammy,and Alejandro are standing near the finish line however. Amber and Sammy are chatting while the bookworm ignores Alejandro. The camera panned from Kitty's stands to Trents as faces began to light up in excitement.

"They're here!"Tyler exclaimed.

The background music grew faster as the two contestants and Geoff were shown running from several angles. "There they are." Chris began as the camera quickly cut to him and back to the finalist in their cow and chicken hats. "Two real competitors, and if I may say, truly personifying the spirit of the reject Olympics."

The two finalists were both rather tired, and kept panting as they tried to pass the other. "Looks, like you were right." Kitty gasped. "Sammy's waiting for you."

"Yeah." Trent gasped.

"Come on guys! You can finish this!" Geoff cheered for them.

"I'm not so sure." Trent said. "I should've listened to Amber, and paced myself."

"Yeah, I had no idea this would be so tiring." Kitty said.

Kitty's fans were shown cheering for her, most of them anyway. Crimson remained passive, Scott had abandoned the stands altogether and was waiting near the finish line. Amy was glaring at her sister. The camera panned to show Trent's fans were also mostly cheering, with the exception of Xena, who didn't even seem excited.

The camera briefly showed the two finalists still running. Before it cut back to Amy, who began to loudly complain about her sister. "Just because your boyfriend is in the finale doesn't mean you're better than me Samey!" This did not produce the result Amy desired as Sammy completely ignored her, continuing to talk to Amber. The older twin frowned, then smirked as she got an idea. "I can't believe you're talking to my loser sister Amber! Then again, maybe you can't do any better geek!"

Amber ignored Amy, but from beside her Alejandro frowned.

"I have to wonder about Alejandro too. I mean, he's so out of your league. I guess he just feels sorry for you." Amy continued. Alejandro narrowed his eyes in anger. "There's no way he actually likes-" Alejandro grabbed Amy by the collar and glared at her. "Do not speak of things you know nothing about." He whispered lowly. He dragged her out of the stands, past a gaping Amber, to the confessional and shoved her in. The point of view briefly cut to the interior of the confessional as Amy watched Alejandro shut the door. Back outside the charmer stuck a stick through the handle so it couldn't be opened.

"Hey you can't leave me in here!" Amy yelled. Alejandro merely 'dusted' his hands off as though ridding himself of a pest.

/

Duncan had finally gotten back to the stands now holding the megaphone. As he headed towards the finish line, Scott, miffed by the delinquent's earlier rejection, stuck his foot out. Duncan tripped, and the megaphone flew through the air and landed in Sammy's hands. She looked up and saw Trent had gotten just ahead of Kitty, though he seemed to be about to collapse. A determined look in her eyes, and turned on the megaphone and called out. "Trent you can do it! I believe in you!"

The background music picked up the pace as Trent began to run faster, Sammy's words of encouragement giving him the extra burst of energy he needed. Kitty was still hot on his heels, and it was a close race, as both sides cheered and even those who didn't were invested. But in the end...

"TRENT WINS!" Chris announced with a cheer, joining the celebration.

Almost everyone, even those who had been rooting for Kitty, surrounded Trent and began cheering. The exceptions were Xena, Scott, Crimson, and Jo. Trent stood there in stunned disbelief.

The camera cut to Kitty who had fallen over in exhaustion. Despite losing she had a wide grin on her face.

(Confessional)

Amy: (We can hear cheering from outside.) Let me out of here! I need to know who won! Seriously! Do you losers know how to listen?!

Static

Sammy ran and jumped into Trent's arms. "You did it!" She exclaimed, before kissing him in excitement. This seemed to break Trent out of his shock as he kissed her back.

The camera cut back to Kitty. "Hey need some help?" Geoff asked, grabbing her hand and helping her up. "It sucks you didn't win, but you're still a winner in my book!"

"Thanks Geoff." Kitty smiled.

"You're an amazing girl babe. It could have been you just as easily." The party dude said.

"Yeah." the selfie lover said. The two smiled at each other and kissed.

The camera focused back on Trent and Sammy's kiss. The guitarist pulled away. "I can't believe I won."

"I knew you could." The younger twin blushed.

The camera panned to Amber and Alejandro as the Spainard approached her. "I'm sorry I acted so rashly earlier chica. While I still think the plan could have worked, I should have thought it through more."

Amber huffed. "well I guess that's better than nothing." She blushed. "Um, thanks for defending my honor earlier?"

"No one is allowed to presume they know my feelings for you chica." The Spainard said.

The bookworm pecked his lips. "You're forgiven. For now."

Trent walked between them. "Dude, nice. You're coming to my party together right?"

Amber and Alejandro looked at each other. "Yeah." Amber smiled.

"I still can't believe I'm the owner of 100,000 dollars!" The guitarist cheered.

/

Quietly triumphant music played over the shot of the island at night, usually reserved for elimination ceremonies. The camera focused in on the light of the campfire, before cutting to a panning shot of the campers at the pit. Twenty one campers sat on stumps. Max and Anne Maria: Ellody, Harold, and Camron: Scott and Xena: Dawn, Ella, and Amy; Jo, Lightning, and Tyler, Amber and Alejandro; Noah and Crimson; Duncan,and Sammy, and at the very end,Geoff and Kitty. The latter of which was no longer wearing a chicken hat.

"Here we are." Chris proclaimed grandly. "At the last bonfire ever. After eight brutal weeks, it is my great pleasure to announce the winner of Total Drama Island…" A drumroll began. "Trent!"

"Alright!" The guitarist said as he stepped forward, with many of the campers cheering for him. Chef handed him a large check to hold, "I'd like to thank everyone who helped me get this far! Especially my girlfriend Sammy. Without her support, I wouldn't be here." The Camera focused on Sammy blushing, before moving back to Trent, who has had the check taken from him. "And don't worry. I'll be throwing a party soon."

The camera focused on Kitty and Geoff. "So this party's gonna be killer huh?" Geoff said.

"Yeah, and you know what? I made second place. I have no regrets!" Kitty declared, with a fist pump.

"Trent," Chris announced, bringing the campers, and the camera's focus to the winner and host. Chris held the very last piece of fluffy immunity in between his fingers. The quiet triumphant music returned. "at this time, I give you the ultimate symbol of survival. The final marshmallow." Chris placed it in the guitarist's waiting hand.

Trent popped it into his mouth. "Victory never tasted so sweet."

"Hey dudes," Geoff said, a nearby Duncan smirking widely. "You know what it's time for?" He gave Chris a devious look, which was quickly adopted by Kitty. Chris looked concerned,

/

The footage skipped to the dock of shame, with no sign of the boat of losers. "No, no, no! Guys, my hair! Dudes!" The host cried as the camera panned to show Geoff, Duncan, and Kitty all carrying Chris across the dock. Behind them Amber, Alejandro, Noah, Crimson, Amy, and Trent followed. The group reached the end of the dock.

"One," The friends said. "Two,Three!" Chris was thrown into the lake, and though he flailed he landed in it with a satisfactory splash. He surfaced quickly and spat out a bunch of water and everyone laughed.

" I've been wanting to do that all summer!" Chef crowed, joining in the celebration and unaware of the impish looks given to him. "How do you like that, pretty boy?! Huh?!"

"Oh Chef?~" Geoff practically sang.

"You're next!~" Kitty said in the same tone. The others were shown laughing as Chef was chased past them. Noah and Crimson left. Alejandro, Amber, Trent, And Amy, remained. "I told you we'd get revenge on Chris later." The Spainard smirked.

Amber smirked back. "At least you made good on that promise."

Amy was pouting. Trent smirked. "You're telling me you didn't enjoy seeing Chris get his just desserts?"

Amy smirked back. "Yeah. I did."

"You're still a horrible person though." Trent replied.

Chef Hatchet ran past in the background, still being chased by Duncan, Geoff, and Kitty. The camera panned out to show Trent, Amy, Alejandro, and Amber on the dock of shame, the lights of the background shining brightly as the moon rose of camp Wawanakwa.

/

/

That was one turn of events, but what actually happened was…

/

/

Duncan had finally gotten back to the stands now holding the megaphone. As he headed towards the finish line, Scott, miffed by the delinquent's earlier rejection, stuck his foot out. Duncan spotted it in time and stepped over it. "Nice try."

He walked to the finish line and noticed Trent had gotten just ahead of Kitty, though he seemed to be on the verge of collapsing. Kitty still had a chance. Duncan lifted up the megaphone and called. "Kit Kat I know you can do this, Geoff knows too! You're not gonna let Elvis win are you?"

"He's right, you know," The party dude said from beside her. "You're one of the most amazing girls I've ever met. When the chips are down, you never quit! You can beat Trent!"

Kitty got a determined look in her eyes. The background music picked up the pace as Kitty began to run faster, Trent was still hot on her heels, and it was a close race, as both sides cheered and even those who didn't were invested. But in the end...

"KITTY WINS!" Chris announced with a cheer, joining the celebration.

Almost everyone, even those who had been rooting for Trent, surrounded Kitty and began cheering. The exceptions were Xena, Lightning, Crimson, and Max. Kitty beamed. "I won!"

"Yeah, you did!" Duncan agreed, holding out one of his knuckles. Kitty accepted and gave him knuckles back.

Geoff ran over and Duncan just managed to move out of the way before the party dude was hugging Kitty. "You did it babe! That was so awesome!"

"Yeah, thanks for cheering me on. I think that's what got me over the finish." Kitty smiled. The two kissed deeply.

The camera moved to Trent, who had collapsed on the ground. Sammy ran over. "Trent! You're okay right?"

"Yeah." Trent smiled.

(Confessional)

Amy: (We can hear cheering from outside.) Let me out of here! I need to know who won! Seriously! Do you losers know how to listen?!

Static

Sammy helped Trent up from the ground. "Sorry you didn't win, I know you did your best, and it was so close."

"Yeah, I'm a little disappointed, but you were there cheering me on the whole time. I think that's the most important thing." The guitarist smiled and the two of them kissed.

The camera panned to Amber and Alejandro as the Spainard approached her. "I'm sorry I acted so rashly earlier chica. While I still think the plan could have worked, I should have thought it through more."

Amber huffed. "well I guess that's better than nothing." She blushed. "Um, thanks for defending my honor earlier?"

The bookworm pecked his lips. "You're forgiven. For now."

Trent walked between them. "Dude, nice. You're going to Kitty's party together right?"

Amber and Alejandro looked at each other. "Yeah." Amber smiled.

"Whoo hoo!" The selfie lover said as she stepped forward, with many of the campers cheering for her. Chef handed her a large check to hold. "Alright! I can't believe I did it! I beat the odds Emma! Not bad for your selfie obsessed little sister right?" Chef took the check from her. Kitty turned to Geoff and Duncan. "I couldn't have done it without you. You guys are the best."

"No problem Kit Kat." The delinquent said.

"Anything for you babe." Geoff grinned.

"Kitty,," Chris announced, bringing the campers, and the camera's focus to the winner and host. Chris held the very last piece of fluffy immunity in between his fingers. The quiet triumphant music returned. "At this time, I give you the ultimate symbol of survival. The final marshmallow." Chris placed it in Kitty's waiting hand.

"I'm gonna cherish this memory forever." Kitty said before popping the marshmallow in her mouth. "But not the marshmallow!"

Chapter Text

The episodes begins with a shot of the Wawanakwa sign. "Welcome back to Total Drama Island." The view zoomed out until Chris can be seen on the dock. " It's been a long time since you last saw our campers slugging it out for the 100,000 dollar grand prize. Since the competition came to its shocking and dramatic conclusion, our campers have had some time to," He gestured offscreen and Chef is shown grilling a steak at the resort. "snack on some real food" Chef gave him an irritated look. " no offense Chef," Chris is shown back on the dock. "take a hot shower, get their stuff back and even peruse their e-mails from home.

"There were losers." A toaster flies towards Chris who ducks. "Okay lots of losers," The host chuckled. "but there was only one winner." Chris held up picture of Kitty to show the camera. "Kitty the younger of two sisters, and selfie loving social butterfly, turned out to be the surprise champ." A series of clips show Kitty posing in episode five, maintaining a cheery attitude even after Harold spat water in her face in episode four, getting excited over the alliance in episode seventeen and finally being handed the check in the finale. "Despite her carefree attitude, friendly demeanor, and no strategy, she ended up with one massive prize." Everyone is shown cheering in the stands after Kitty's win, "She's planning a wicked tropical party for all her fellow campers this winter, but first their gonna move their booties for one final poolside rap party," The boat of losers is shown driving away from the dock. " and tomorrow everybody's headed for home."

Back at the docks Chris smirks. "Or are they?" He winks. " Find out here on Total Drama Island!"

(intro)

{Several camera's pop out of the trees often to the endangerment of the wildlife. A clapboard pops up and we are guided down the dock of shame.}

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

{The camera glides past a startled Chris sitting in a chair and up the tall cliff.}

You guys are on my mind!

{The camera dives into the water to reveal Anne Maria swimming.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(The jersey reject's hair is so full of chemicals it kills a nearby fish. The camera pans to the surface where Kitty and Geoff are having a splash fight. They stop as the fish floats between them, where a bald eagle grabs it in its talons. The follows it as it flies above the forest and drops the fish.)

I wanna be...famous!

(There is cut to the forest floor, where Dawn sits Indian style on a large stump. The moonchild is surrounded by animals. The fish falls and the animals scatter leaving a startled Dawn. The shot zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the result, while a nearby Xena stares at him, an eyebrow raised.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(Harold and Ellody are on a raft going over a waterfall. The genius is gripping the nerd in fear. Harold doesn't seem to mind even as the raft falls.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(A pan down shows Scott sneaking across a log. The camera follows him left.)

Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;

(The deviant runs to the outhouse confessional and pushes it over sending Camron out onto the ground. The camera continues left to the mess hall where the Silhouette of chef is visible

I'll get there one day.

(the camera goes through the window to show a smirking Chef with an arm in a pot filled with liquid of a sickly shade of green. He glances towards a tied up Tyler and Max. The two share a nervous glance.)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(the camera pans left to show Jo and Lightening arm wrestling. Neither of them are making much camera zoom out a nearby window to show Crimson and Noah sitting on the steps leading to the beach. The goth is deadpan, while cynic seems to be looking right)

(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(the camera moves right to show Alejandro and Amber sitting on the docks as the flustered brunette tries to pretend she's looking at her book and not the attractive Spainard. . The camera pans across a short expanse of water where a seagull gets pulled under the water by a tentacle of some kind.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Ella twirls onto the dock a chorus of birds swirl around her in an almost choreographic way. The Princess wannabe twirls a couple more times as the birds follow.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(Two birds fly past Ella in opposite directions. They fly into the air and the scene transitions to night. The camera pans down to show Sammy and Trent looking at each other and smiling. Their happy moment is ruined as Amy pushes Sammy off the log and sits on the log herself, much to Trent's dismay.)

*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *

(The camera pulls out to reveal Sammy on the ground. Everyone else is around the campfire and a sign with the words Total Drama Island flashes as the song ends.)

(end of intro)

Chef is shown still grilling his steak, in his purple swim shorts and orange floatie. The camera pans right to show the buffet table. Max is standing behind it and Lightning in front of it eating a plate of sausages. This is followed by Kitty dancing with the giant check she'd gotten in the finale. Geoff stood at her side also dancing to the music.

"This resort rules!" Kitty cheered.

"I know right?" Geoff replied happily. Tyler ran in front of the couple in his red swim trunks and threw an orange frisbee. The camera followed it through the air as it crossed the nearby pool. Duncan stands nearby the pool as Noah and Crimson are chilling on the side. Crimson in her normal clothing and Noah in his blue swim shorts with red flowers. Camron stands just behind them. Camron catches the frisbee and the force causes him to fall into the pool.

He surfaces and climbs out. "I'm so relieved the show is over. I'll never forget the experiences I've had, but it is nice to be able to indulge in leisure." Camron struggles to throw the frisbee over the pool and it drops . Duncan rolls his eyes grabs it and throws it across the pool properly.

The camera follows the frisbee again before zooming out to show Sammy and Trent enjoying the hot tub together. It flies past and Tyler jumps up to catch it but misses. It continues it's path past the pool with the small bar in it. Alejandro is relaxing in the water as Amber does the same, resting her head on his chest. Anne Maria looked on jealously. Behind the bar we see Tyler still running after the frisbee and literally hitting into a nearby lamppost.

The focus is placed on the three in the pool. Amber sighs happily. "Comfortable?" Alejandro teases.

"Yeah." The bookworm admitted. "It's so nice to just relax you know? Not worry about strategy."

"Indeed. I no longer have to worry about my feelings for you effecting my game." The Spaniard agreed.

(Confessional)

Amber: You know when Alejandro's not competing he's actually pretty nice. Egotistical sure, but honestly who wouldn't be with his talent, charisma, and physique.

Static

Funky music played as Chef used a grill fork to lift his steak off the grill. He took a huge sniff and chuckled to himself before placing it back on the grill. He did a couple dance moves and returned to his cooking. To his left is Geoff, Kitty and Lightning. Geoff is eating marshmallows. Kitty is doing the same but she's counting. "And that's 75." She cheered drinking a soda.

"It's so cool how much you can eat Kitty! Most of the girls I've met are so careful. Like, what's the point of coming to an awesome party if you can't chow down?" Geoff complimented.

"Lightning'd never eat so many empty calories. I gotta carbo load so I can carry the team!" The football jock bragged.

"Cool dude, you do you." Geoff smiled.

(Confessional)

Geoff: I'm so psyched to have Kitty here! Sure the resort was fun before, but with her here it's just even better! Like we don't need to worry about the game man!

Static

Ella sat in a beach chair over by the pool. A goth girl with teal streaked black hair that went down to her chin, a pale skin tone, and teal lipstick came by wearing the intern uniform. She was pushing a laundry cart. "Oh, do you require any assistance?" The princess wannabe asked.

"I can handle it." The goth replied irately.

"Truly I do not mind-" Ella began.

"Just stay out of my way so I can do my job." The goth snapped.

"Oh, sorry." Ella muttered.

We follow Gwen as she moves the laundry cart. Just ahead leaning against a tree is another person in an intern uniform. He is a young teen with a healthy skin tone, narrow green eyes, and dirty blonde hair styled in a lazy pompadour. Gwen glared at him. "Topher I thought you were getting Chris his coffee."

"I already did. Exactly how he likes it. I still get goosebumps when I see him." Topher said. "So I figured I'd take a break on the way back."

"Take a break? You've barely lifted a finger." The goth deadpanned.

"Hey, keeping myself this photogenic takes work." Topher excused.

(confessional)

Gwen (intern): Ugh, so I signed up for the show and didn't make the cut. Apparently so did Topher. I'd completely forgotten about it when I got a call. There's a clause in the contracts they had us sign to audition that allows them to use us as interns. So this sucks. Why is Chris hiring interns anyway? The show's over.

Static

Back at the pool Noah and Crimson are talking. The frisbee from earlier flies over their heads and Camron runs off screen to get it. "You know, when I signed up for the show I wasn't expecting to meet someone who clicks with me like you do." The goth droned.

"Neither was I. I'll admit, I was expecting to go through the game by myself. You made everything bearable." Noah smirked.

"I can't wait for you to meet my best friend." Crimson said pulling out a picture of a male goth with black and a red fringe, yellow eyes with black circles painted under them, black lipstick and a red goatee with a piercing on either side of it. "This is Ennui."

"Huh. Well he's interesting." Noah said.

Camron ran back and attempted to throw the frisbee over the pool again. It still dropped but somehow it was skating across the water's surface. Tyler looked excited. "Throw me the Frisbee!" It hit straight into his face, causing him to fall into the pool below.

Over on another part of the pool Dawn and Ella noticed him fall in. "Oh dear let me help!" Ella called.

"We need both of us to lift him!" Dawn said running after her. They reached the side of the pool and held their hands out. Tyler grabbed on to one of each. His weight nearly pulled them in but Dawn wrapped her other arm around Ella's back for support, prompting the princess wannabe to do the same. "We must hold firm!" Dawn declared.

"Together we are stronger than as one!" Ella agreed. With one final pull they got Tyler out of the pool.

"Thanks." Tyler said. Walking over a a pool chair and flopping into it to catch his breath.

Harold and Ellody pass by Harold is holding a purple notebook at reading from it. Ellody seems to be very interested in what he's saying. "And that's why beavers shouldn't be considered members of the vermin family. Their skeletal structures are like totally different from rats. I mean, just look at their teeth. I can loan you my journal where I've made a bunch of drawings of beavers and rats, if you promise not to get food on it and stuff."

"I'd love to. The comparison sounds fascinating. There's no need to worry about the journal. I'm meticulous in my care of books, and I promise I will return it to you in the condition it was given." Ellody told him.

Harold smiled and handed her the journal. The two of them continued chatting as they passed Sammy and Trent in the hot tub. Trent seems happy.

"I'm so glad this competition is over. Now I can spend time with you without worrying about it." Trent told her.

"Yeah..." Sammy trailed.

"Something wrong?" The guitarist asked.

"It's just... we're going home soon. I'll be at home with Amy, and you won't be there." Sammy said worriedly.

Trent cupped her cheek. "It's okay. I know you can stand up to her. Remember the bike challenge?"

"But you were there, and so was a bunch of other people who supported me. When I'm alone Amy's much better at getting to me." Sammy sighed.

Trent smiled reassuringly. "Hey, I'll give you my phone number, and if you ever need to vent, or just need some positive reinforcement, I'll be there."

The sweet twin smiled. "Thank you." And the two kissed.

Meanwhile Duncan is dancing to the music. He looks to see the Goth intern from earlier walking past with a now empty laundry cart. He smiles at her and shoots her a finger gun. Gwen can't help but give a small smile back.

Geoff smirks as he approaches Duncan. "See something you like dude?"

"That intern looks like she'd be fun to hang with, and she's not bad looking either." Duncan answered.

"Dude you should ask for her number." Geoff said.

"Maybe. I mean we'll be going home soon. I have idea how close to me she lives." Duncan pointed out.

"True, but you could ask for her email and chat online." The party dude said.

"That'd be nice. Okay, next time I see her." Duncan decided.

The camera panned over to the pool, where Noah and Crimson as still sitting. Amy walks by and the camera shows the side of her head, where an angry face has been drawn. Noah chuckles. "Because she wasn't able to show her anger with just one face."

"What's so funny?" Amy glared.

Ella, being the good friend she is, told her. "Someone drew an angry face on the side of your head."

"What?! Who did that!" The mean twin said angrily.

Max took this moment to reveal himself. "It was I! The viscount of vengeance! The duke of despair! The archbishop of animosity! The-"

"Deadbeat who's gonna get a knuckle sandwich if he doesn't shut up." Jo threatened as she passed by. Max wisely shut up.

(Confessional)

Max: Since I got voted out first last time, no one got to see how evil I was! They're all talking about Jo, or Alejandro, or Amy. I am ten times the villain those wannabes are!

Static

A dramatic sting played through the loudspeaker. The camera showed shots of everyone taking notice as dramatic music swelled in the background. First Tyler, then Anne Maria, Alejandro and Amber, followed by Trent and Sammy, and finally Dawn and Ella. A close up of a suitcase is shown, followed by a pan up the host carrying it, a smile on his face. Chef took the check from Kitty.

Chris set the suit case down in front of Duncan and Geoff. "Hello campers." The host taunted.

"That's ex campers to you." Duncan snapped back.

"Yeah, your stupid game is over." Amy said.

"We'll see about that..." Chris whispered to Chef. "Congratulations to our winner, Kitty. You played hard," Clips of Kitty throughout the competition are shown. Kitty running after Jo in episode nine, Geoff at her side and Harold trailing behind, Kitty giving Noah a side hug in episode 24, and finally Kitty taking a farewell selfie with Duncan in episode 16. "Fought hard, befriended hard, and selfie'd harder."

"Not sure how, but you beat every other person on this island, and your pockets will soon be stuffed with cheddar." Chris finished.

Almost everyone cheered at this, with only the saltiest players, plus Xena and Crimson, remaining silent. Kitty beamed. "Yeah, give me that money!"

"But what I'm about to offer you may change all that." Chris continued. Chef stood between the host and Kitty holding the suitcase. "Inside this suitcase is one million dollars!" As Chris said this the camera zoomed in on the suitcase. Everyone looked shocked. "We had our PA's make a cardboard check of this awesome new prize." A shadow began to loom of the contestants, the sun was shown getting blocked out by the corner of the check, it slid across the resort, behind Amy, Noah, Crimson, Max, Tyler, Ella and Dawn. The latter of which looked horrified.

A shot of the island was shown, revealing the check to be so huge it covered a third of the island's shore. "We went through a lot of cardboard to make this." The shot cut to Chris talking to Kitty. "Kitty girl, this million dollars could be yours," Chris told her point to the suitcase held by Chef. "All you have to do is figure out where we're about to hide it, and bring it to the dock of shame before anyone else does."

"So wait. Are you saying any of us could win that Million?" Crimson deadpanned.

"Yep." Chris responded. "What do you say Kitty? Will you settle for 100 Gs," He pointed to the check. "Or one! Million! Dollars!"

Surprisingly Kitty answered immediately. "No."

Chris looked shocked. "I'm sorry what?"

"Look if it was all my money I'd be more than willing, but I promised 50,000 of that to my sister for her college. I'm not gonna risk losing it." Kitty said.

Chris and Chef whispered to each other. Then Chris turned back with a smile. "If we let you keep 50,000 for your sister, will you play?"

"Only if you write out a check for 50,000 and hand it to me." Kitty said.

Chris sighed and pulled out his checkbook grumbling. He wrote out a check signed it and handed it to Kitty. The selfie lover held it up and examined it critically before nodding and putting it in her pocket. "If this bounces you will hear from a lawyer."

"Yeah, yeah. So you ready to play?!" Chris exclaimed.

"Game on!" Kitty agreed.

Chef smiled as he tore the giant check in half. Chris regained his smile. "That's the spirit." A member of the camera crew picked up the silver suitcase and walked away with it. "Throughout the day, I'll give you all hints from the loud speaker, just to make sure you're not completely lost."

(confessional)

Jo: Okay things have gotten interesting. That million dollars is mine.

Static

Chris has a cork gun in his hand. "Alright campers, the ultimate million dollar challenge starts," he shoots the gun. "Now!" A seagull with a drink ring around it's throat is hit by the cork. It falls to the ground, and Kitty runs off. Chris and Chef look at the other teens if surprise. No one has started to move. Dramatic music plays as the teens are shown. First Trent, Sammy, Duncan, Geoff, Xena, and Jo, who were all around, or in, the hot tub. Then the group by the pool, Amy, Noah, Crimson, Max, Tyler, Ella and Dawn. Then Anne Maria, Alejandro, Amber, Harold, and Ellody. Finally Camron, and Lightening.

"So let me get this straight. After tormenting us all summer, you expect us to go running around the island again?" Amy rolled her eyes.

"That's right." Chris smiled and nodded.

"But how do we know you actually have a million in that suitcase?" Amber asked.

"You don't." Chris replied.

"I'd love to play another round of humiliating the teens, but I have other things to do." Noah replied.

Duncan walked past Chef and Chris. "Aw, sit on it." He scoffed.

"Yeah!" Lightning said.

"Fine..." Chris shrugged. "Suit yourselves, I'm sure Kitty will be happy to have no competition, while she makes the easiest million dollars in TV history. "

"Fine." Noah said.

"Fine." Ella said.

"Indeed." Alejandro agreed.

No one budged. Tension was in the air. Jo looked like she was considering going for it, as was Scott, Lightning, Amy, and Alejandro. Eventually it was Jo who spoke up. "Well you guys can stay here! I'm gonna get that million!"

At the exact same time everyone moved to get started. They ran past Chris and Chef... and immediately all ended up in a huge pile up. Everyone groaned as they all attempted to escape. Chris and Chef were smiling. Chef whistled to get everyone's attention. After a beat of silence Ella spoke up. "Why don't we work together friends?! We could split the prize money between all of us."

There was another beat of silence, then everyone began to argue again. At the bottom of the pile is Alejandro, struggling to be free of the pile up. Amber grabs his hand and pulls him out the pile. She grins wildly. "We can compete together this time! We both made it far in the competition, so if we work together we'll be unstoppable! We can spilt the prize money fifty- fifty!"

Excited as the bookworm was she kissed Alejandro passionately. She pulled away and Alejandro smirked. "I love it went you get like this."

"Can come wit' you?" Ann Maria asked.

"No! The last thing we need is someone who won't do anything for fear of breaking a nail!" Amber snapped.

(confessional)

Amber: I'm really glad Alejandro's partnering with me on this. He's strong, smart, talented, and charismatic. He can take anything anyone throws at him. Literally the best person to team up with from a strategic point of view. Even if he wasn't my boyfriend.

Static

Harold, Ellody, Camron, and Xena were all grouped together. "A nerd's alliance? With our combined wit we should be able to find the suitcase in no time!" Harold said.

"I'm not sure of that. Certainly our mental fortitude is unparalleled but our physical prowess is lacking to say the least." Xena pointed out.

"True, but we're four people so we could use our numbers against the other team." Ellody said.

"I suppose that is true, still it would benefit us to seek out someone physically fit." Xena suggested.

Camron walked to Tyler. "Hey, you want to join the four of us?"

"Yeah!" Tyler agreed. He ran over and tripped.

Anne Maria and Lightning stepped over him. "Nice moves dweeb." Anne Maria laughed. Jo trailed behind the two, Clearly not enthused to be working with them.

"Dawn, would you like to partner with me?" Ella asked the moonchild.

"I'd be delighted." Dawn replied.

"I was hoping Ella would partner with me?" Amy frowned.

"You can join us." Ella told her. "Right?' She asked Dawn.

"I'm not fond of you Amy, but you're friendship with Ella is genuine so I will partner with you." Dawn said.

"Whatever." Amy brushed her off.

Scott approached them. "Hey ladies it's your lucky day because I'm in the market for an alliance."

None of the girls looked amused. "Scott, past experience has told me you're a terrible team player." Dawn said.

"Not you mention you smell." Amy scoffed.

"And you aren't very nice..." Ella said. "Sorry if that's too harsh."

The girls walked away.

(Confessional)

Scott: It's almost like sabotaging your team makes you untrustworthy. Still there's gotta be at least one sucker willing to team up with me.

Static

Scott scanned the people and spotted Duncan, Kitty, and Geoff.

"We're gonna win this million!" Geoff said.

Scot smirked and approached them. "Hey, we were all on the Bass, and I think we did pretty good for ourselves. Together the four of us can totally get this suitcase."

"Please, like we'd trust you for a second." Duncan scoffed.

"Yeah I'm usually pretty open to people, but you tried to give Geoff bad luck." Kitty said.

"Seriously not cool bro. That tiki thing was cursed." Geoff glared.

"Besides you didn't even make the merge." The selfie lover said.

"Why are we wasting time on this dork anyway?" Duncan smirked. They all walked away. Scott grit his teeth in frustration.

Noah and Crimson walked by, completely ignoring Scott. The deviant frowned and moved to a nearby tree where Sammy and Trent are standing. "So. you wanna team up to get this million?" Sammy asked.

"It'd be my pleasure." Trent replied.

"Hey, Trent you made it pretty far in the competition. What say we team up?" Scott asked.

Trent gave him a flat look. "Do you even know my girlfriend's name?"

"Isn't it Samey?" Scott said.

"Point proven." Trent said. He and Sammy walked off.

Max Approached Scott. "You're in luck! I'm-"

"No." Scott snapped.

(confessional)

Scott: So I might be desperate for a partner, but desperate enough to hang out with his evil annoyance? No. Probably.

Static

Max ran after Scott. "You didn't let me finish! I'm recruiting a new sidekick and I think you'd be perfect for the job!"

Scott took a deep breath. "I'm gonna hate myself for this." He muttered. He put on a smile and turned. "Hey, now that you mention it, that sounds like a good deal."

"Yes! I knew you wouldn't refuse! Together we will-" Scott was already walking away. "Wait a minute, you're the sidekick I'm supposed to lead!"

The next little bit was the Total Drama theme song playing in the background as all of the groups were shown looking for the suitcase.

/

A full shot of the island was shown. The loud speakers turned on and Chris' annoyed voice came through. "Okay this is pathetic campers." The loud speaker was shown in close up. "It's been two hours now and no one has even come close to finding the suitcase. "So here's your first clue. It's just hanging around."

Crimson and Noah were shown walking through the woods. "How many square hectares is this island again?"

Crimson shrugged. Scary dramatic music played as animals were shown running away from Crimson. Two squirrels dared to jump down a tree branch towards Crimson. They look one look at her deadpan face and one of the squirrels fainted from fear leaving the other one to catch them. A bird flew by and was so distracted by Crimson's aura of scary that it flew into a tree.

"Any sign of the suitcase?" Crimson asked.

"No, but at least we know the animals won't bother us." Noah smirked.

/

Anne Maria, Jo, and Lightning are searching through the woods. Lightning is still excited, but Jo is frustrated and Anne Maria is filing her nails. "How big is this Island?! Maybe we'd have found the suitcase by now if someone was pulling their weight." Jo said, glaring at Anne Maria.

"Okay, I've been lookin'. So don't you mouth off ta me." Anne Maria snapped.

Before Jo could say more Lightning interrupted. He had climbed up a tree. "Man, Lightning doesn't see that suitcase anywhere! He's starting to think Chris is holding out on us."

Jo rolled her eyes.

(confessional)

Jo: Lightning might be dumb, but he's the strongest person on island, aside from me. So I'm willing to 'partner' up with him.

Static

"I see you're having trouble finding the suitcase as well." Alejandro's voice came from off screen. He and Amber joined Jo and Anne Maria under the tree.

"Ugh. Al we're not interested in joining forces with you." Jo scoffed.

"Speak for yourself." Anne Maria said.

"Well I wouldn't want to join up with you either." Amber glared.

"Aw well," Alejandro smirked. "More money for us." With that the two walked away. Jo grit her teeth angrily.

/

Meanwhile the suitcase is shown hanging from a tree. Dawn, Ella, and Amy are walking towards it.

"It's so nice to be in nature." Ella sighed happily.

"Yes, and nature is truly happy to be around you." Dawn smiled.

Amy pretended to gag. "Enough with the lovefest. Has anyone seen that suitcase?"

At this point they are directly under the suitcase, but somehow none of them thinks to look up. "Sorry I got distracted by the majesty of the island's wildlife." Ella admitted.

"Well we're not gonna find it standing here. Come on!" Amy insisted. Running forward, Dawn and Ella follow along.

Sammy and Trent arrive next, with Sammy looking at the ground sheepishly. "Amy's been looking for the suitcase too. You think she found it?"

"Even if she has, we can always steal it from her. It's whoever reaches the dock first, not whoever finds it first. Besides you're still a great person Sammy, no matter what." Trent told her.

Sammy smiled and the two kissed with the suitcase hanging over them. Then they continued walking. "Still, I hope Amy doesn't win. If only so she can't lord it over me."

Chris and Chef are shown riding in the red helicopter from previous episodes. Neither can believe two groups of teens just walked under the very obvious suitcase. "Okay this is ridiculous."

/

Geoff, Kitty, and Duncan are just outside a cave. "Dude, that'd be rad to explore." Geoff said.

"Yes! but I don't know if we have time." Kitty replied.

"Focus guys we're trying to find the suitcase." Duncan said.

"How do we know the suitcase isn't in there?" Geoff asked.

"Chris said it was hanging around. So it's probably up a tree or something." Kitty said.

(Confessional)

Kitty: I'm just so glad we're doing this together. Duncan's got the focus, Geoff's got the strength, and I've got the drive. I feel like we can do anything.

Static

The three headed away from the cave, almost immediately running into Crimson and Noah. "Hey guys!" Kitty greeted.

Noah smiled in spite himself. "Hey, where have you three looked?"

Duncan stopped Kitty before she could say anything. "We're not giving you that info."

Noah's smirk widened. "Worth a shot. Okay, We'll tell you where we've looked, if you tell us where you've looked."

"You trust me to give you that information?" Duncan asked.

"No, but Kitty and Geoff will." Noah replied.

"I think its a fair deal bro." Geoff chipped in.

"Okay, so we've looked at west edge of the island." The cynic told them.

"We've combed the beach." Kitty replied.

"Cool." Noah nodded. He and Crimson took their leave.

(Confessional)

Duncan: I guess that was helpful. Personally I'd have skip out on the deal.

Static

Max was heading up the island, while Scott trailed. "Hurry up sidekick!" He snapped.

"I'll show you a side kick." Scott muttered.

Meanwhile the nerds, and Tyler, have reached the tree with the suitcase hanging from it. Harold sees it first. "There's the suitcase!"

The others looked up. "Excellent observation skills Harold." Ellody complimented. Harold looked proud.

Chris and Chef are shown in the Helicopter again. "Finally!"

Tyler and Camron cheered. "We still need to get it down." Xena pointed out.

"As the most physically adept of us, I nominate Tyler to climb the tree." Ellody said.

"I second that!" Tyler agreed. climbing the tree. Leaves fell as he made his way up there. He ended up falling in front of them. "That was just a warm up!" The jock claimed.

As he climbed up the tree again, Xena commented. "Perhaps Tyler was not the best person to bring along for physical prowess."

"He's doing his best Xena." Ellody told her. Tyler fell from the tree again.

"His best seems to be inadequate." Xena deadpanned.

"I was this close!" Tyler claimed. He climbed the tree again and this time the suitcase came down. Camron attempted to catch it and ended up in the ground.

"We got it." Camron groaned.

From within a nearby bush Scott and Max spy the case. "Did you hear that Sidekick?!" Max exclaimed. "They have the case! We-" Scott covered the 'evil' genius' mouth.

"You're gonna alert them. How's about a sneaking mission?" Scott suggested. Removing his hand so Max could speak.

"That was my idea, I was just testing you." Max claimed. Scott rolled his eyes, but Max didn't notice as the two crawled off.

"Alright! We found the million!" Tyler cheered.

"Do not celebrate yet, we still have to bring it to the dock." Xena reminded him,

"Actually I find Tyler's enthusiasm refreshing." Ellody told her.

"So long as he keeps hold of that suitcase, I suppose I will tolerate it." Xena decided.

"You're gonna let me hold it?" Tyler questioned.

"You are the least likely to get fatigued from carrying it." The over logical girl said.

"He's so clumsy though." Harold pointed out.

"Hey, I can totally do this dude! Trust me." Tyler defended.

Harold sighed. "Normally I would argue with you and stuff, but I know what it's like to be underestimated."

"So are we all in agreement on who's holding the suitcase?" Ellody asked. Everyone said some version of yes.

"Thanks guys!" Tyler cheered.

/

Elsewhere in the woods Topher is looking around. He turns to find Gwen glaring at him. "What are you doing?"

"Looking for the suitcase obviously." The blonde said.

"But that contest is for the contestants." Gwen pointed out.

"Chris didn't say that. He said whoever makes it to the dock of shame with the suitcase first wins. I know enough about Chris to know if someone is smart enough to exploit a loophole he'll let them." Topher explained.

"Are you really gonna run around the island like an idiot looking for a suitcase?" Gwen frowned.

"Let me put it to you this way. If there's a chance to win a million, wouldn't you take it?" Topher asked. Gwen looked thoughtful.

/

Back with the nerds they have started to head out. "So what are you planning to do with your 200,000." Ellody asked.

"That's easy, I'm gonna spend it some of it on vintage comic books. You get them in mint condition, and they appreciate value ." Harold said.

"I'm going to use it for research equipment. If I create something good enough, I should get a scholarship easily." Ellody explained.

"I intend to use what I need for my collage fund, then save the rest for emergencies." Xena chipped in.

"I'm not sure. Maybe some books?" Camron said.

"Wait you guys know what you're gonna do you with the money?" Tyler said.

"Of course, any logical person would plan on what to do ahead of time." Xena said.

"I've been looking for a way to get money for a while." Ellody admitted.

"Money management is one of my mad skills. I went to Management Steve's Management camp." Harold said proudly.

"I feel a little weird not knowing what I want to do with it now." Tyler frowned.

"Don't worry, I have no idea either." Camron comforted him.

"Of course none of us will be able to use the money if we don't make it to the dock." Xena said.

At that moment Max fell out of a tree in front of them. Leaves flying everywhere. Startled, Tyler dropped the suitcase. Seizing his moment Scott grabbed the suitcase and ran off. Max seeing this gasped. "Sidekick! Get back here with my case!" He ran after Scott.

Xena sighed. "Tyler, when we retrieve the suitcase, you will not be carrying it."

Tyler frowned. "Fair."

/

Kitty, Duncan, and Geoff are shown running through the woods. "Okay, so are we sure it isn't back there?" Geoff asked.

"We already searched that entire area." Kitty sighed.

"We have a lot of island to cover so we'd better press on." Duncan agreed.

/

Scott is running up a cliff away from Max, who follows behind him gasping. "Sidekick I demand you hand the case over to me at once!" Max ordered.

"Finders keepers sucker!" Scott called back. At this point he had reached the top of the cliff.

Max confronted him. "I am not a generous man. Now give me the case or face my wrath!"

Scott scoffed. "What wrath? You're about as evil as a bunny."

"You mean the foul creatures laying waste to Australia's food supply?" Max grinned. "Flattery will get you nowhere. Now give me the case."

"Just try to get it." Scott smirked, jumping off the cliff behind him.

Max glared. "This isn't over!"

The scene faded to black.

/

A shot of the island is shown as Scott screams. He lands headfirst into a beaver dam. The case lands in the river. "Ugh!" Scott growls. The inside of the beaver's dam is shown. "You stupid vermin! I would have had a perfect escape if it wasn't for you!" One of the beavers slapped him with his tail.

The suitcase was shown floating down the river briefly, then the loudspeaker was shown as Chris made another announcement. "The case is wet! I repeat the case is wet!"

Dawn, Amy, and Ella are walking nearby when this announcement is made. "The case is wet! Quick into the river!" Amy ordered.

The three entered the river. "That was smart of you Amy." Ella smiled.

"Of course it was." Amy said.

Dawn smiled. "You're brushing it off in an attempt to hide how rarely you get complimented by someone whose opinion matters to you."

"Dawn! Cut it out with the creepy aura reading thing!" Amy snapped.

"I can't. It's as natural to me as breathing." Dawn explained.

"Well can you at least stop telling everyone about what you see in my aura?!" The older twin asked irately.

"If it bothers you that much..." The moonchild trailed.

"It does!" Amy said.

"Guys! I see the case!" Ella cheered pointing to the case as it floated by them in the water.

Amy snatched it up. "Well that was easy." A hook attached itself to the case and took it away. "My money!" Dawn gave her a look. "I mean our money." Amy corrected.

On the river's other bank Alejandro and Amber stand. The bookworm is pulling in the case on a fishing rod." I got it! It's heavy though."

"Allow me to assist." Alejandro smirked wrapping his arms around her to grab the fishing rod.

Amber blushed, but focused on the case. Together the two of them got the case to them. A crocodile popped out of the water, clearly intending to eat the case. "Am I seeing things or is that an alligator?" Amber gulped.

"I see it too. Why is there an alligator in Misoka?" Alejandro asked. The scene zoomed out to show Chris and Chef watching on a set of screens as they ate sandwiches.

"Alligators your idea?" Chris asked, turning to Chef. The cook nodded since his mouth was full. "Good one."

Back with Alejandro and Amber, Alejandro gives Amber a reassuring smile. "I'll take this." Alejandro told her. "Hello Mr. Alligator . What a devilishly handsome figure you have." The alligator bared its teeth. "And such well kept teeth, you must work hard to maintain them." The alligator smiled, in as much as an alligator can smile, and looked down. "No need to be modest, it's true. I'd like to humbly request you allow us to retain the suitcase. Such a thing is not worthy of your fierce some bite." The alligator nodded and swam back into the river.

"Your charisma still astounds me." Amber smiled, taking the suitcase off the fishing line. They started to walk off. "You know part of me is expecting you to betray me now that we have this."

"Chica were it anyone else, I assure you I would. I betrayed you by voting you out, and it was the first thing I've felt guilty about in years. I will not make that mistake again. You make me want to do right by you."

Amber kissed him. "I appreicate it. Now let's get this to the dock before anyone else does." The two of them run until they hear a rustling sound. "What is that?"

"Sha bam!" Lightning shouted as he dropped down on the two from the trees about. "And Lightning gets the case! Sha score!" He cheered as he ran past.

Anne Maria walked past spraying her hair. "Yeah Lightning baby. You show'em!"

Jo showed up next and she paused to gloat. "Wow braids, you and Al suck at this more than I thought. Well I gotta go, before Brightning loses the case doing something stupid."

Alejandro and Amber stood up with a groan. "So that's what it's like to get tackled in a football game. Can't recommend it." Amber remarked.

"No time for your astute observations now chica." Alejandro said. "They're going to get away with the money!"

"You're right. I need to take revenge on Lightning for knocking me down!" Amber said angrily.

Alejandro smiled. "I love when you get vindictive."

Behind a nearby tree Topher is watching the two run off with a frown.

(Confessional)

Topher: Alejandro was robbed last season. He should have been the last villain standing. Alejandro has amazing villain potential. He's just being held back by Amber. If Amber wasn't such a good influence on him, he could've been the villain I know he is. Not that he'll get the chance now.

Static

Gwen is walking along the river side. "I can't believe I'm doing this." She looks further up the river to see Scott with his head in the dam. She laughs. "That's just too good." She continues down the river.

(Confessional)

Gwen: Topher might have got to me. I guess I figure if I have to work as an intern I might as well try to win the money. I have nothing to lose. Even if I am breaking some rule, what's Chris gonna do? Fire me? I'd love to be fired.

Static

Gwen is running in one direction, the camera panned to show Geoff, Duncan, and Kitty running in the other. They're distracted enough to run into each other. "Ow! Watch it!" Gwen snapped.

"You watch it!" Duncan snapped back.

Gwen took a deep breath to calm herself and opened her eyes to see who she'd run into. "Duncan? Kitty? Geoff?"

"Dude how's she know our names?!" Geoff gasped.

"She's an intern, of course she knows our names." Kitty replied. She stood up and held her hand out to Gwen. "Sorry about running into you."

Gwen took her hand. "It was kinda my fault too."

"Are you looking for the suitcase too?" Duncan asked.

"Well, look its really stupid and a total long shot, but I gotta try right?" Gwen said.

"Totally. We're gonna look back up along the riverside. You wanna come?" Duncan offered.

"Already looked that way, but you could see something I didn't. Good luck." The goth said.

"You too." The delinquent agreed. Gwen walked off and the three continued up the bank to see Scott in the beaver's dam. A beaver had climbed on top of him and was currently beating him up with its tail.

"Isn't that Scott?" Kitty said.

"Dude that beaver is totally owning him!" Geoff exclaimed.

"Karma is awesome!" The selfie lover cheered.

"Is it bad that I kinda like watching him get beat up?" Geoff asked.

"No, I'm enjoying it too." Duncan smirked.

"Hey guys how about a little help here?' Scott said from indie the beaver dam.

"Normally I would, but you tried to curse my boyfriend with a totem so no." Kitty told him.

As the three walked off Scott yelled. "You'll regret this!"

Jo, Lightning, and Anne Maria are running around a bush. Jo trips Lightning and grabs the case. "You didn't think I was gonna share it with you? Yeah right! See you never losers!" Jo ran off, and right into an invisible wall, knocking her down and causing her to drop the case. Lightning and Anne Maria looked at each other and smirked, grabbing the suitcase and running back around the bush. Amber and Alejandro spot them and run after.

The camera panned back to Jo. A flock of pink birds flew around her head. "What?" Jo gasped staring at the glass before her. A camera was attached to this wall. Jo batted the birds away from her head, and they flew off, with one of them looking upset at the way it was dismissed. Jo stood up and knocked on the glass wall. "This forest is fake?!" She glared at the camera. "McLame that's a dirty trick!"

Like earlier the scene moved out to show Jo on screen yelling at the camera as Chris and Chef watched. "Wow, she looks really peeved." The host said as the two looked at each other, slightly nervous.

"When I get my hands on you-" Jo began from onscreen.

Chris used a remote to mute her. "Think I'll just turn this down a bit. That's better." He smiled. He held up a plate with some kind of meat on it. "More pâté?"

Chef regained his own smile. "Don't mind if I do."

/

Anne Maria and Lightning are running through the forest. "Ha! Nice try Jo! Thanks ta her we got the suitcase all to ourselves."

"Sha sweet! Lightning can almost taste the money!" The football jock said. He frowned. "What does money taste like?"

"Victory of course!" Anne Maria cheered.

They skid to a stop as Noah and Crimson entered the scene. "Great, nerd girl's here to try and snatch victory from Lightning!"

Noah glared. "Are you entirely brain dead? That's the only explanation for why you keep misgendering me! Either that or you're doing it on purpose! Can you at least call me by my name?"

"Fine nerd gir- Noa. Lightning's gonna assume you want his money." Lightning said.

Noah's glare became a smirk. "Who's money?"

"Lightning's money? Weren't you listening?" The football jock said.

"Don't you mean our money?!" Anne Maria frowned.

"Why should Lightning give anything to you? He's done all the work!" Lightning said.

"Oh no you did not just say I was useless!" The jersey reject said.

"You've spent more time on your stupid hair than you have looking for the case!" Lightning accused.

"That's it! No one insults the hair!" Anne Maria glared, launching herself at Lightning. The two began to fight, oddly enough they seemed to be evenly matched. In the tussle they drop the suitcase.

Noah walked forward and grabbed the case. He smirked as he returned to Crimson. "Like maggots to rotting flesh." The goth deadpanned. They walked away.

(Confessional)

Noah: Honestly human stupidity just keeps topping itself. Every time I think, 'this is it, this is as dumb as humanity can get', I'm proven wrong.

Static

Anne Maria sprayed Lightning in the face with her hairspray. "Ow! Lightning can't see!" The football jock cried out.

The sound of someone clearing their throat cause the two to pause in their fighting. The scene zoomed out to show Amber and Alejandro glaring at them. "Where did you idiots lose the case?" Amber asked, an eyebrow raised saltily.

"We didn't lose anything! The case is right-" Anne Maria reached to where Lightning had dropped the case, only to be met with thin air. "Here? It's gone!"

"Gone, but Lightning had it right here!" Lightning gasped.

"Well it seems to have slipped your grasp amigo." Alejandro smirked.

"Noah!" Anne Maria snapped. "That shrimp must have taken the suitcase while we were fightin'!"

"Aww man, Lightning doesn't want to lose to Noa and her girlfriend." The football jock said.

Anne Maria rolled her eyes.

"Well, then we'll just have to find Noah!" Amber decided.

"Do you have any idea which way he went?" Alejandro asked.

"Sorry hot stuff, I wasn't really paying attention." The jersey reject admitted.

"A lot of help you are." Amber said.

Chris' voice came over the loudspeaker. "Attention, campers! The case is now somewhere Creepy and headed towards camp."

"Come on Lightning!" Anne Maria said dragging the football jock up. "We gotta get the case back from that nerd!" The two ran off to the right.

"Why don't we go the opposite direction?" Alejandro suggested.

"Sounds like a safe bet. " Amber agreed.

/

Trent and Sammy are on top of the cliff from episode one. "Somewhere creepy and headed for camp? Maybe Amy has it." Trent chuckled.

Sammy laughed. "I hope not. She already has a big ego. She doesn't need a million dollars to make that bigger."

"It's nice to see you've relaxed a bit." Trent smiled.

"Yeah... you make it easier to laugh. I hope when we go home i hope I can find some more people to support me." Sammy sighed.

"Hey, you'll find them. You know you could look online. Maybe set up a chatroom where you could talk to the friends you've made here." Trent said.

"I'd like that." Sammy smiled. "Where do you think the case is?"

"If I had to guess? Somewhere in the woods. Which doesn't narrow it down much." Trent admitted.

"Let's get looking then!" Sammy said.

/

Back with Jo she has found a vine and tied it to the camera at the top of the glass wall. Chris and Chef was shown watching this in concern. Chris does a spit take. "Chef, you better get out there!"

The cook ran to the red ATV Chris often used and drove off. A wall with a brick trim is shown as Jo's hand climb over it. She pulls herself up. "No way!" She yells as the camera zooms out to show a burger sign attached at a speaker box. "We've been this close to good food this whole time?!"

A red truck pulls up with a large black man wearing a red hat and red and white jacket inside. "May I take your order?" The man opens his mouth to tell the worker but its cut off by Jo. He seems annoyed.

"Yes! You can take my order! I'm haven't had a good burger in hours!" Jo said. She was hit by a boom mike from above. "Hey!" The camera zooms out to show a camera crew member in a hot air balloon. He is a white brunette who has on an orange cap, and a white shirt with green collar and cuffs. Jo grabs the boom mike. "Get down here!"

The cameraman talks to Chris through a walkie talkie. "Uh, Chris? Uh, we have a situation here."

Back in front of the screen Chris is watching with wide eyes. He yells through the walkie talkie. "Bail, Bail," The cameraman is shown jumping out of the hot air balloon. "Abort Abort!"

Jo climbs in the balloon and pulls the cord. "See you later suckers! There's no stopping me now!"

/

Scott is walking along the bank finally away from the beavers. His face is bruised from the beating he took. Max arrives in a canoe. "Ran into some beavers? Serves you right for betraying me like that!"

"Is there something you want?" Scott glared.

"Yes! I thought about it, and your betrayal is a good sign of evil! So I am here to give you the opportunity to be my sidekick again!" Max declared.

"Are you kidding me?" the deviant said, sounding like that was the last thing he wanted to do.

"It's a generous offer I know. Serving me is an honor few receive." The 'evil' man said smugly.

"I would rather work alone." Scott snapped.

"I understand. You do not believe you deserve a second chance." Max said, completely misinterpreting Scott's words. "But you have potential to be evil. Not as evil as me of course, but who is?"

Scott smirked. "Okay then. I suppose I could take you up on that offer. If you agree to split the money with me."

"Extortion? I have taught you well." Max said sounding impressed. "Very well then sidekick. I will allow you to keep some of the money."

Scott got into the canoe. Max handed him the oar. "Now, move it sidekick! Faster!"

Scott started to row. "Don't make me regret this."

/

Noah and Crimson are shown standing with suitcase. "Hey! Noah found our suitcase!" Tyler said. The scene zoomed out to show the group of five nerds, and Tyler, in front of them.

"Your suitcase? I seem to be the one holding it." Noah smirked.

"We found it first!" Tyler said.

"Chris didn't say the money went to the person who found it first. He said it went to the person who brought it to the dock first." Crimson deadpanned.

"She is technically correct." Ellody admitted.

"Well, we could split it?" Camron said

"We're already splitting it five ways!" Harold complained.

"Noah is a reasonable person. I say we make an attempt to parley." Xena agreed with Camron.

Noah rolled his eyes. "Gee split the money with six people or just my girlfriend. Such a hard decision to make."

"So that would be a no?" Ellody questioned.

"You catch on fast." Noah replied. The scene zoomed out to show the two groups in full.

"Fine give us the case or we'll mess you up!" Tyler threatened.

"You'll trip before you get there." Noah smirked.

"Strength in numbers! We can overwhelm him!" Camron gasped.

The four nerds, and Tyler, rushed Noah, and while they were weak individually, together they were more than a match for Noah. Even with Crimson's help. They took the case and we see Crimson starting to help Noah up as they run off. Tyler has snatched the case. The camera follows them, revealing that this confrontation has happened, once again, at the top of the 1,000 foot cliff. The nerds, and Tyler, stop to avoid going over the cliff.

"In retrospect we ought to have seen this coming." Xena deadpanned.

They turned to run back only for a grizzly bear to growl at them. "What do we do!" Camron panicked.

"Make no sudden move-" Ellody began, but she was cut off by Tyler screaming and running away from the bear, leading to him falling off the cliff. Tyler grabbed the nearest thing, which happened to be Camron, then Camron grabbed Ellody, Ellody grabbed Harold, Harold grabbed Xena and Xena grabbed onto the cliff.

"HELP!" Camron cried out as the scene faded to black.

/

The nerds, and Tyler, are still holding on to the cliff. "What do we do?!" Camron gasped.

"Remain calm." Xena deadpanned, still looking emotionless.

"Stay calm?! We're hanging for our lives on top of a cliff!" Tyler protested.

Xena did not reply but rather attempted to pull herself up so as to gain a better grip on the cliff. The piece of cliff broke off and everyone, save Xena, screamed. The Camrea followed them as they fell until they landed off screen with a groan. The hot air balloon Jo had stolen earlier floated on screen to reveal Tyler's leg had been wrapped up by the boom mike's cord. Everyone else held on to each other desperately.

"Can we panic now?!" Tyler cried.

"Jo would you use your great upper body strength to pull us up?" Ellody asked.

"Only if you nerds give me the case!" Jo said.

"No way!" Tyler responded.

"Whatever." The jockette shrugged.

"Jo a fall from this height would kill us!" Camron cried.

"Yeah, and then I can get the money. What's your point?" Jo smirked. Whether she was bluffing or not was hard to tell.

"I think we should give her the money. It is not worth our lives." Xena told them.

"It would be an honorable death." Harold said dramatically.

"No, don't make any deals, I can save us!" Tyler said. Dramatic music played as the jock reached up and grabbed his ankle then he climbed the boom mike to the basket of the balloon and grabbed onto a rope attached to it.

"Tyler, that was an amazing display of upper body strength and grip. Perhaps I misjudged you." Xena deadpanned.

"And now we can keep the case!" Tyler cheered.

"We'll see about that." Jo smirked. She pulled down on the balloon cord making the balloon lower until the nerds, and Tyler, were being dragged through the forest below. The boom mike's cord somehow wrapped around the foot of the grizzly bear from before. The nerds began to scream as it was shown the bear was now looking up at them and growling. It began to climb the rope.

/

Sammy and Trent are looking in the forest themselves, "Well no sign of the case so far." Sammy sighed.

"Hey even if we don't find it, doing this hunt with you has been fun." Trent told her.

Sammy smiled and gasped as she saw a small moose attempting to eat the leaves from a tree, having trouble due to it's size. "Look at that moose! It's so cute."

Trent smiled "Having trouble little guy?" He said gently and moved to lower the branch so the moose could eat it. Unfortunately for him he tripped on a rock as he approached the moose sending the two of them flying. They landed with Trent on top of the moose. The baby cried out as the shot zoomed out to show it's parent. "Uh, this looks worse than it is." The guitarist said smiling weakly. The moose snorted angrily.

(Confessional)

Trent: So sometimes I can be a bit accident prone. Like that time I got stuck in quick sand during the boney island challenge. I'm just glad I'm the one who tripped and not Sammy.

Static

Sammy and Trent are seen running away from the moose as they scream loudly.

/

The loudspeaker is shown as Chris talked through it. "The case is almost at the campgrounds! Get your butts in gear, people! It's a million big ones!"

Kitty, Geoff, and Duncan are shown running through the forest. "Dudes we gotta hurry!"

"I wish there was a way we could get to the campgrounds quicker." Kitty sighed.

Chef drove up to the three on the red ATV. "Hey! Any of you punks seen a hot air balloon go by? Jo took it from one of our cameramen."

"That doesn't surprise me." Kitty said.

"She's totally gonna win!" Geoff said. As the two responded Duncan snuck his way around Chef.

"She got the case too. On her way to the finish line." Chef said, Duncan's hand was shown picking up a stick. "If I had to bet on anyone, I'd put my– oof!" Duncan slammed the stick into Chef's head.

He climbed on to the red ATV, looking at a shocked Kitty and Geoff expectantly. "Well get on!"

/

Topher is walking through the woods when he smirks running faster. The camera follows him as he catches up to Gwen. "So, any luck?"

"With the stupid case? No. Honestly I'm considering giving up." Gwen told him.

"But we know it's headed for the campgrounds. We should head that way." Topher told her.

"You sound awfully excited to go there." Gwen said with a raised brow.

Topher chuckled. "Let's just say a couple campers might drop in."

Before Gwen could ask what he meant by that, Sammy and Trent ran by. "Run!"

"Why?" Gwen called. The two interns looked back and gasped and they too ran off, a rampaging moose after them.

/

The balloon has arrived at the campgrounds with the nerds, and Tyler, trying to get in Jo's balloon as an angry bear climbed after them. Everyone was in except Tyler who was slowly being pulled up. "Hurry guys!" Tyler cried. The bear slashed the air with it's claws as Tyler was finally pulled in just barely missing.

Jo immediately got Camron in a headlock. "Now give me the case or else!"

"That is a rather vague threat. I require an elaboration." Xena said.

"Okay, give me the case or I'll choke out string bean. That elaborate enough for ya?" Jo snapped.

"Indeed." Xena nodded.

"Try to take that case and I'll mess you up!" Tyler threatened.

"Guys maybe we should spilt-" Camron began.

"No!" Jo and Tyler snapped.

The camera moved down show Scott and Max in the canoe from earlier. "There it is! Faster sidekick, we must get it!" They stepped on to the beach and ran up the stairs. Just then Duncan, Kitty, and Geoff come roaring out of the forest on the ATV.

"Hey Scott! Hey hello to my little friend!" Duncan called.

"Dude this might be going a bit too far!" Geoff said.

"Bail!" Kitty said. The two of them jumped off the red ATV. Duncan gunned it towards Scott. The ginger screamed as Max jumped out of the way. Duncan ran Scott into the water, but managed to break before the ATV fell in itself. He got off.

Kitty, concerned about Scott, ran over to the water. "Sorry, that was too far! Let me help you up!" She reached down to Scott, who took her hand... and pulled her into the lake.

"Now we're even." Scott smirked.

The loudspeaker is shown as Chris speaks. "Attention campers! The case is still in play! Don't give up now!"

/

Anne Maria and Lightning are behind the communal bathrooms. "Remind Lightning why we're hiding out again?"

"'Cause, we're gonna ambush that scrawny shrimp Noah and get our money back." Anne Maria told him.

"What do you mean our money?" Lightning frowned.

"Hey! I came up with the plan ta get the suitcase back, so I get some of the money!" Anne Maria snapped.

"Sha please Lightning coulda come up with that plan." The football jock said.

"But ya didn't!" Anne Maria said. She sighed. "We'll work out the details later. For now focus on getting that case!"

(Confessional)

Lightning: Lightning doesn't know where Anne Maria thinks she gets off asking for some of the money. I mean I've done all the hard work. Lightning is carrying the team.

Static

Anne Maria: Ugh. I've had it up ta here with Lightning. He thinks he's so great with his strong muscles, but who's got the brains? That's right me! He'd be nowhere near the suitcase without me!"

Static

Anne Maria and Lightning peeked their heads around the communal bathroom. Sammy, Trent, Gwen, and Topher run by with a moose after them. "Maybe we should just wait here." Anne Maria said.

"There's the pool ladder!" Gwen said, pointing. The scene zoomed out to show the four teens approaching the pool ladder with the moose in hot pursuit. It zoomed back in to show Sammy and Trent climbing up first, followed by Topher and Gwen. The moose ran past. The camera focused on Sammy as she paused. "Trent, if we don't make it I just wanna say I love you!"

"I love you too!" Trent agreed.

"That's really sweet, but I need to get up the ladder before the moose maims me!" Topher snapped.

"Enough with the lovefest already! Hurry up!" Gwen agreed.

Trent and Sammy kept climbing. Below Duncan was looking up at them in interest. "Hey Pasty, what are you doing up there?!"

They pointed and the camera followed to show the moose looking at Duncan angrily. It snorted it's nostrils. "Oh no." Duncan said, his eyes wide. He screamed as he ran from the moose. The camera showed all of the groups watching. Topher, Gwen, Trent, and Sammy atop the pool ladder. Camron, Xena, Harold, Ellody, Tyler and Jo in the balloon, and the grizzly bear hanging off the balloon. When the shot returned to the ground it was showing the mess hall. The moose chased Duncan in, then ran out as Duncan held the moose head from the mess hall in front of him, mimicking the call of a moose as he chased it.

On top of the pool ladder Gwen smirked. "Well that's one way to get rid of a moose."

"I'll be back!" Duncan called as he ran off.

Sammy pointed into the sky with a gasp. The scene zoomed out to reveal the balloon was about to crash into the pool ladder. "It's coming!"

In the balloon basket Camron gasped. "With our current trajectory we're going to crash into the pool ladder!"

"Dude I could have told you that!" Tyler exclaimed.

The bear grabbed on to the side of the basket causing Camron, Tyler, Harold, and Ellody to panic.

"We have to jump for it!" Tyler said.

"Do you know how dangerous that is! Our odds of survival-" Ellody began.

"Are higher than if we remain here." Xena deadpanned.

"She's right, it's our best chance!" Harold agreed. "Grab hands, with luck that'll slow our fall due to the air resistance."

They grabbed hands and jumped landing at the top of the pool ladder, on the opposite side of the first group. The pool ladder sways dangerously but ultimately remained standing. From inside the balloon Jo glared. "If you think you're keeping the case that easily, you have another thing coming!" The jockette jumped out of the balloon. She landed in between the two groups and snatched the case from Tyler while he was still in shock. Immediately everyone began to fight over the case. In the ensuing struggle caused it to fall from the top of the pool ladder. The camera followed the case as it fell, where it bounced off the pool and landed in front of the communal bathrooms. Amy, Dawn, and Ella exited. "Has anyone seen that stupid case!"

"Amy! It's right there!" Ella cheered pointing at the case.

Amy picked the case up. "My money!" Dawn gave her a look. "Sorry, our money."

The sound of a plane was heard and Amy looked up in confusion. The yellow plane Chris had flown in at the beginning of the extreme sports episode was flying in the sky. The door opened to reveal Amber and Alejandro, both wearing helmets and both with parachutes on their backs.

From Chris and Chef were watching the host frowned. "How the heck did they get the keys to the plane?"

The cook looked just as confused. "I don't know."

(confessional)

Amber: So Alejandro and I are looking for the case when this blonde intern with hair from the 1950s walks up to us and offers Alejandro the plane keys! I'm suspicious of course but Alejandro sees an opportunity. The next thing I know we're flying a plane dangerously low without a pilot, and I'm about to jump out!

Static

"This is so stupid!" Amber cried.

"Have faith chica!" Alejandro said. With that they both jumped off. One confident and one screaming. The plane, no longer having a pilot crashes into the pool ladder, breaking the barely balancing board at the top from the ladder. It could fall at any moment.

Alejandro landed in front of Amy and tried to grab the case. The older twin is not having it. The two begin to tussle. Noah and Crimson arrive on the scene. The case comes loose in the tussle and Noah takes the opportunity to grab the case, only to be ambushed by Lightning and Anne Maria. The case flies out of his hands.

"Give us the case Noa!" Lightning said.

"I don't have anymore you morons!" Noah snapped. The case landed in a nearby Geoff's arms.

"Sweet! We're gonna be rich Kitty!" Geoff cried running off, but before he could get far he tripped.

Amber, Alejandro, Amy, Ella, and Crimson all saw the case was free and began to run towards it. Amber's still attached parachute wrapped around Noah's ankle dragging the cynic with her.

A top the pool ladder the board finally lost its staying power and fell. Tyler, Xena, Camron, and Jo all fall into the pool below as Duncan came by riding on the moose. The remaining six are still on the board as it slides down the side of the pool out of control.

The moose rides past Alejandro, Amber, and Noah, one it's antlers catching on to the couple's parachutes and dragging all three along for the ride. The case rolled across the dock as the moose bucked Duncan off. Behind him, the board containing Trent, Sammy, Gwen, Topher, Ellody, and Harold slides down the dock, dragging Amber, Alejandro, and Noah by the parachutes.

As the board moves forward, we see that Crimson, Amy, Ella, and Geoff are running after the case still. Kitty is helping Scott get out of the water. Tyler's eyes widened as the board knocked everyone into the water, Alejandro, Amber, and Noah all dragged in after. In all sixteen people enter the water. Chris and Chef are briefly shown wincing at the sight. In the water, Amy surfaces, looking for the case. The case is shown floating in the water nearby before being eaten by a shark. A nearby seagull with a soda ring on it's neck laughs before it to, is eaten by the shark.

"Great. Now what?" Noah groaned.

Chef lands the helicopter on the dock and Chris exits. The host walks forward. "So you lost the case. Way to go." He said sarcastically. "I didn't wanna have to do this, but since none of the sixteen of you officially won, you all officially tied, which means that you will all have another shot at winning the million dollars!" Everyone cheered. " In season two!"

(Confessional)

Amy: Excuse me? Season two?!

Static

Noah: Oh, no I am not going through this again.

Static

Alejandro: Intriguing.

Static

Duncan complained. "Oh, forget this. I didn't agree to season two."

"Sixteen?! Topher and I are interns! You can't just make us new contestants!" Gwen added.

"Actually, I can, and yes Duncan you did agree to season two. It's called the fine print. Read it, live it, love it!" Chris said.

"I hate the fine print!" Gwen yelled.

The Scene moved out to show the remaining eight teens on the dock. These were Max, Anne Maria, Lightning, Xena, Camron, Tyler, Dawn, and Jo. Chris turned to them. "As for the rest of you, your treasure hunt ends here, along with all your hopes of ever winning any money off of being on this show." Anne Maria and Lightning are shown looking angry. "The good news, though? You'll be watching all the action on season two from the sidelines!"

"Excuse me?! You don't get to sideline me!" Jo growled.

Chris tsked and waved his finger back and forth. "Fine print."

(confessional)

Jo: Brightning's lawsuit might have failed, but that doesn't mean I can't try suing! No one sidelines me!

Static

Harold: Another season? Sweet! Another chance to showcase my mad skills!

Static

Gwen: This sucks. I guess I get a shot at the money though.

Static
