Chapter Text
Prologue
As the now defunct bus crashed in the desert in the middle of nowhere, the 22 teens from the first two seasons of Total Drama, a crazed superfan, and DJ's mother, there was a sense of hopelessness in the air. However, one of them, Geoff wanted to party and be the hero. "I came here to party, but this seriously lacks party vibes, so I am going to go get help." Geoff proudly proclaimed, determined to find help.
Justin, who wants to look like the hero, instantly glommed onto the idea "I'll help you Geoff". Justin said, as he had his own reasons for why he wanted to look like a hero. Soon Katie, Sadie, Trent, Eva, and Beth all agreed along with DJ's mom. However, before they could leave one of the people who knew to some extent what Chris wanted next season knew he had to stop them.
"Guys stop!" Noah proclaimed yelling out loud. Shocking everyone present at his sudden outburst. However, Noah knew what had to be done. "Guys we should all stay together as a group, we are in the middle of nowhere, with no food and I am sure someone is bound to rescue us at any moment." Noah explained.
Heather however remained skeptical "What makes you think someone will come here and save us?" Heather asked.
Leshawna immediately chimed in, "Yeah it's not like me to agree with Heather, but what does that turkey think is going to help us any?" Leshawna explained, even if agreeing with Heather made her shudder. "Why can't we have others go out for help?"
Noah clearly grew frustrated as he was instructed to make sure nothing wonky happened, 'Look, I am sure in the contracts we made for Total Drama we can't be left to starve to death. Chris is an ass, but he's not psychotic. Look if he's not here tomorrow afternoon we look for help. Agreed?" Much to Noah's shock everyone nodded their heads in agreement. But DJ hinted for his momma to still go look for help just in case as his mother left.
Later in the night after everyone was asleep the only ones up were Geoff and Bridgette who were just done tanning and making out. Bridgette especially was worried "I hope Noah's right and that Chris won't leave us to starve. Wouldn't shock me if he did." Bridgette worried.
Geoff who was also worried shared with his girlfriend his concerns "Yeah, I wanted to party but it's just so not my vibes right now. I guess it could be worse. I could be without you Bridgette. Love you."
"Love you too Geoff." Bridgette responded back as both fell asleep.
The Next Day
The next morning DJ was up early and tried to lighten the mood he was seen cooking with Owen being the first one to smell it "Ooh that smells awesome, what is it?" Owen said walking up to DJ.
DJ was busy stirring a pot as he responded "You guys thought I was going to let everyone go hungry. It's fried rocks with tumbleweeds. Best I can do on account of being stranded"
Owen was going to eat some however at that point Trent had also woken up and overheard the conversation and didn't want his buddy Owen to eat something that inedible or have DJ's feelings be hurt, as luck would have it, Trent looked up and noticed the helicopter that Chris and Chef used to follow and using an educated guess assumed it was them. "Guys, we don't have to eat anything, look up in the sky."
At that moment the bus started to move, waking everybody else up as the superfan Sierra was in particular impressed. "It's Chris."
Chris was seen in the chopper with Chef and a giant magnet attached to the bus. "They don't call me the best reality tv show host for nothing." Chris yelled out as everyone cheered as Chris turned to Chef. "Wait until they hear the huge twist we have planned."
"Are you sure they are going to go through with it?" Chef asked.
"Who? The kids down there or the higher ups?" Chris asked in return.
"Both, this is an insane idea the network has planned. I can't cook for that many kids." Chef said annoyedly. The thought of cooking for so many people annoyed him greatly especially since he was reluctant to do a third season.
"Contract says they all have to return for next season, so they are doing this third season bigger and better than ever. Besides, the head boss kind of forced our hand after last season audiences didn't respond well to having some people not on last season. Not to mention this was the compromise the networks wanted to make." Chris explained as Chef began flying back to the Action studio lot.
"Ugh, Chris, tell me we don't have someone famous coming in and get involved in a scandal. I am not having the bad press after what happened with DJ last season." Chef was annoyed some more, remembering when he had a talk with the producers after he interfered with the horror challenge and how the show's integrity got thrown into question afterwards.
"Actually, no Chef. In fact, it's our boss's kid. They also, only wanted to go on if they didn't get any special treatment according to our boss." Chris further explained examining the notes of the newbies that were soon to be announced.
After a couple hours of the former cast on the bus with an odd tension in the bus, they all made their way to the old craft services tent while the unknown Latin man named Alejandro who drove the other bus began serving pancakes to his soon to be competitors, an action Owen didn't mind at all "Mm pancakes!" he yelled out before eating a large handful at once as Chris decided to get everyone's attention.
"Now we all know no one does drama like you twenty-two." Chris informed them.
Heather, who was growing impatient about the whole ordeal wanted to get to the bottom of it "Well duh, but what about Alejandro and Sierra for that matter, what do they have to do with any of this? We don't know them, at all?" Heather asked.
Alejandro walked up to voice his thoughts "There were never any Total Drama Dirtbags, it was all a hoax." he accused.
"Is that true?" Heather asked in more confusion about the whole situation.
"Kind of, here's the deal. I needed to first of all see if you guys still had it in you to compete again and in addition to all 22 of you guys, plus Sierra and Alejandro, we are going to have 24 more newbies who will be competing alongside you." Chris explained.
"Pass", Duncan said sounding like he would rather be anywhere else.
"We are having almost 50 of us compete, you can't be serious?" Gwen asked.
"So that's why you needed me to keep everyone together?" Noah asked.
"Pretty much. Trust me because we are going all over the world to see what you all got. In 3 days, you will begin a 2-million-dollar journey in a jet around the world."
Back at the Celebrity Manhunt studio, Josh and Blainely were excited "Woo-hoo, a celebrity manhunt exclusive, another season of Total Drama has begun filming. I think I can speak for Josh when we both say we can't wait."
"I know I'm ready for this." Josh said in eager excitement.
"Well, you better be, because you have hosting duties all to yourself. The network called me, and I am going to join Chris in co-hosting the show." Blainely announced while Josh looked concerned.
"This is sudden, why would the network, oh I see-" Josh began to say before the feed cut away saying technical difficulties on what Josh was going to say.
The scene shifted to the Season 2 Action lot and the confessional that came with it which would be used one last time by a variety of contestants.
Confessional- Courtney
"Looks like I am back on for my third season. Keeping a close eye on Gwen and making sure she doesn't try to steal my boyfriend." Courtney then sighed and looked at the ground. "That and winning the money would be nice."
Confessional- Harold and Leshawna
(Harold puts his arm around Leshawna until she pushes him to the ground) "Get your hands off of me We are just friends. We are only friends in this, okay?" Harold looked down and despite everything telling him to say otherwise he decided against it just nodding his head in shame.
Confessional- Sierra
"Omg I am so excited. I actually get to compete on Total Drama. I admire all these people so much. Especially Cody, I wonder what our fan name would be. Ooh I like Coderra." Sierra said in awe.
Confessional- Cody
"That, uh, Sierra girl. She keeps looking at me. Kind of freaking me out, not going to lie." Cody said. "But hopefully I can make some new friends and redeem myself after not competing for a while now. Oh, and also, no bear attacks."
Confessional- Bridgette and Geoff
Both were making out like crazy until Bridgette pulled herself off Geoff, "Wait babe we need to focus on the game, we can't keep doing this all the time."
Geoff had a look of disappointment until an idea came to mind. "We are not competing yet; we can still make out here for now. But I do agree" As such they went right back to making out.
Confessional- Gwen
"Third time's the chance. This could be my season after coming so close the first season and I will do what it takes to win."
Confessional- Duncan
"Another season? I am down Chris. Bring it. I nearly won the last two times, so I have nothing to prove and everything to lose."
Confessional- Alejandro
"All these total drama newbies better be ready because they don't know a thing about me, and I am making it all the way to the top and stopping at nothing to win."
Confessional- Owen and Noah
Owen immediately put pancakes in his mouth which disgusts Noah. "That can't be healthy for you." Noah chirped.
Owen however had a huge grin, "I don't care. It's pancakes." Noah in response shrugged his shoulders.
Confessional- Heather
"With a plethora of newbies, not to mention Alejandro. I would not count me out at all. I have been at my lowest since the shaved head. But I am not going down without a fight and you best believe that two million dollars will be mine."

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Walk Like An Egyptian Part 1
The episode began showing Chris standing on a tarmac, ready to introduce the first set of contestants. To say he was excited would be an understatement. "Season 3, and I am going sea to shiny sea. Fortunately, or rather unfortunately I have a traveling teen circus with me. They will be competing for a shot at the money. Please welcome Courtney, Duncan, Heather, Gwen, Trent, and Leshawna!"
While Courtney, Duncan, Gwen, Leshawna and Trent were shown smiling, Heather decided for the fun of it to stop walking so Gwen, her nemesis for two seasons, would bump into her "accidentally" as such Gwen fell for the bait.
"Ow, can I get a seat that is not next to Heather's pony hair ponytail." Gwen protested as Gwen held a ton of hate for Heather after the first two seasons.
"Hey, I will let you know my hair is human hair." Heather sniped back as she still felt some insecurity about her hair, and the second season being bald the entire time.
"You learn something new every day." Duncan said, making Gwen laugh, while Courtney glares at Duncan, and both Trent and Leshawna both raise their eyebrows at Gwen's reaction, wondering why Gwen was still so friendly with Duncan.
"Also returning are Lindsay, Beth, Owen, DJ, and Harold!" Chris announced as Lindsay blew a kiss and Beth waved to the camera excitedly asboth stepped off the bus. But Chris noticed none of the guys were out. "Uh guys? What's the hold up?"
"Sweet baby Canada, I am scared!" Owen yelled out as he and DJ were leaving the bus with DJ trying to comfort him, holding Owen tightly in a hug. Owen's fear of flying on full display. "I'm going to die!"
"Don't you remember Chris, he is terrified of flying," DJ said as he walked off screen, still holding Owen tightly.
"Aka aerophobia, otherwise known as the fear of flying." Harold said, walking out of the bus, stating facts. Soon after Noah walked out of the bus unimpressed and annoyed by Harold.
"Keep up the facts and I will be aero nauseous all over you." Noah snarked, stepping off the bus, not even acknowledging the camera as he left.
"Returning Season 1 favorites Noah, Cody, Katie and Sadie, and also Eva!" Chris announced as Noah walked off screen with a blank expression, Cody was shown smiling showing a finger pose he found cool, while Katie and Sadie excitedly waved their hands at the cameras together as they stepped off the bus, while Eva had a blank stare at the camera as she stepped off the bus.
"Also returning-" Chris began to say but was soon interrupted by Ezekiel.
"Yo players, the winner here is on the bus, I mean exit, how about the runway." Ezekiel proudly boasted until he saw Izzy emerge from the bus. "Uh oh." Ezekiel said fearfully, as he saw Izzy was excited and feared for his own safety.
Before Ezekiel could be out of Izzy's line of fire, Izzy began talking, "Ooh we get to fly! Oh my gosh this is so exciting! Woo!" Izzy said getting on Ezekiel's shoulders making both fall over.
"Look out eh!" Ezekiel yelled out, before he fell on the ground.
Chris looked at the camera and winced at the sight before returning back to normal, "Yep Izzy's back. Also returning is Tyler, and last year's aftermath hosts Bridgette and Geoff and lastly, last year's villain in Justin" Tyler was shown getting out of the bus before tripping into the pile of people, with Bridgette and Geoff barely avoiding it, and Justin falling as well.
Ezekiel, despite having both Justin and Tyler on top of him, finally got a word in. "Hey Chris, you forgot to introduce me."
Chris sighed in annoyance, as he didn't really want to acknowledge Ezekiel since his sexist views during Season 1 nearly got the show canceled after the first episode. "Fine, also Ezekiel. Now it's time to shake things up. We are bringing some new faces. First, he is a world class scholar. Please welcome Alejandro." Alejandro was shown getting off the bus and noticed the pileup of people and decided to show the facade of him being nice.
"Allow me to be of assistance." Alejandro said picking up Tyler and Izzy first with Tyler quickly making it clear where he stood with Alejandro while Izzy admired him.
"I like girls." Tyler claimed which made everyone chuckle at that since it was odd that was the first thing that came to mind. Tyler was thrown off on why that was the first thing that came to mind.
"Also, amigos, let me help." Alejandro said getting Justin and Ezekiel off the ground and while Ezekiel was quiet Justin walked away as he had a sense Alejandro was trouble.
"That dude is different." Justin told himself. Justin had a sense that something about Alejandro was off, but what it was he couldn't place.
"Now for the end of the first half of contestants as she is a Total Drama superfan with many blogs and a total sugar addict. Sierra." as if on cue, the girl Sierra was shown nearly running out of the bus and being super hyper while Tyler seemed to have known the girl and glared at her, as he had a lot of disdain for Sierra.
"Oh my gosh, I can't believe I am on Total Drama, I love you all, this is the greatest day of my life, and does anyone have a paper bag I can breathe into?" Sierra asked before laying eyes on Cody which made her crazy behavior even more manic. "OMG Cody, I always dreamed about this moment except you weren't wearing a shirt." Sierra yelled as she crept closer to Cody, excited she was with her hero.
Cody however was freaked out and decided to back up from Sierra for his own safety, as he had never even met Sierra until recently. Unfortunately for Cody, he almost wound up bumping into a second bus that came into sight, "What the? Why is there another bus?" Cody asked, luckily for him he didn't get to hurt as the bus had come to a stop right in front of him.
"Don't you guys remember we have a second half of contestants to introduce. Starting with-" Chris began to say until he saw the last person he wanted to see, "WHAT IS SHE DOING HERE?!" Chris yelled out as Blaineley was introduced.
Blaineley proudly strutted out the bus and walked up to Chris "Blainerific front and center!" Blaineley bragged, until she saw Chris. "Oh, there was one thing the producers omitted from even you. Did you really think you and Chef could both handle 48 teenagers by yourselves, I am your co-host this season and I will introduce the back half of contestants." Blaineley proudly proclaimed.
Chris was in shock and anger, "I am calling the producers. This cannot be happening. No good lying, stupid producers!" he said before walking off.
Blaineley was unimpressed, "He can mope and pout. Doesn't change the fact I am part of this show. So let me start by introducing the contestants. First up is Cameron."
A young man with a red sweater and glasses came out "Oh my gosh this is so cool, to experience air, to be out in public. This is so cool." Soon a monarch butterfly came into view "Ooh a butterfly." However, once Cameron touched it, he fell to the ground, as though he was made of fragile bones. "Ow!"
Leshawna raised her eyebrows "That's a bubble boy if I ever saw anyone." People like DJ and Trent nodded in response as many people felt sympathy most of all for Cameron. "He is in way over his head." Leshawna further stated.
"I'm okay!" Cameron yelled out in pain, as one of the more unlikely people walked up to him in Ezekiel and he helped the bubble boy get to his feet.
"You okay, eh?" Ezekiel asked, wanting to make a new friend, and help Cameron out.
"I'm fine, the name is Cameron by the way." Cameron said reaching his hand out.
"Ezekiel eh. Nice to meet you." Ezekiel told Cameron as both walked off screen to the others, both excited to get to know each other more.
Blaineley continued on "Next up is our indie chick Zoey."
The next person was a red-haired girl got off the bus, flower in hair and all, but one could easily tell she was nervous, "It's so sweet and nice to meet all of you guys. Would love to be friends." This response made some people like Katie, Sadie, and Lindsay smile, while others like Courtney and Heather scowl at her attempt to be nice.
Blainely was growing impatient. "Okay to make this go along faster, our next contestants are Jo the jockette, Brick the cadet, and Scott the farm boy."
Each of the three walked out of the bus with Jo and Scott having more of an angry face while Brick looked eager. Eva immediately noticed Jo's athletic ability and had a sense of jealousy that she was maybe not the physically strongest woman. "She thinks she is so tough." Eva said to herself.
"What was that?" Noah asked, confused by Eva's disdain for people she hadn't even met yet.
"Nothing, just sizing the competition up." Eva said, in annoyance, she wanted to be at least the most physically strong woman in the cast.
Blaineley continued on while Chris was heard in the background yelling "Next up is tan in a can, Anne Maria." As such a teenage girl with a tan came out applying hair spray unaware that everyone was coughing.
"Hey jersey girl, the beach was two seasons ago." Duncan taunted, as he was done coughing.
"Yeah whatever. No one can deal with this perfect hair, face, and body." Anne-Maria proudly gloated unaware she was not leaving a good first impression.
"What a diva." Zoey said to herself as she saw people like Katie and Sadie nodded.
"Agreed!" Sadie and Katie said at the same time.
"Moving right along," Blaineley announced. "Our next contestant is Jasmine." On cue a woman came out of the bus who was easily one of the tallest contestants ever, unfortunately for her she accidentally hit her head on the top of the bus which made everyone wince but shockingly she seemed unaffected by it.
"Wow, she's tough." Brick noted. "I'm impressed."
"Thats nothing back home I'm Australian mate." Jasmine told everyone in a thick Australian accent, which threw everyone off.
"Our next batch of contestants are Shawn the zombie nut, Dave the germaphobe, and Sky the future Olympian." Blaineley announced as each of the said teens came out of the bus. For Shawn he was nervous as he wasn't told he would be in a confined space, but instantly recognized the airport and realized he would tackle one of his fears. Dave was just hoping the plane was clean and both Eva and Jo noticed another strong athletic woman in Sky.
'Next up is Topher." Blainely announced as Topher walked out of the bus "Who is dressed just like Chris?"
"Yes ma'am. Where is he?" Topher asked eagerly, and immediately Zoey pointed to a frustrated Chris who was still on the phone talking to the producers. "Wow he is so much shorter in person." Topher acknowledged making both Zoey and Anne Maria chuckle before the latter glared at the former.
"Next up is princess Ella. Why did we have people on my bus write their own introductions?" Blaineley asked.
"Wait, we could write our own introductions?" Jo asked, sounding bewildered. "Mine would have been so much better than being a jockette." Jo protested.
Ella was shown getting off the bus landing on the ground when a rabbit came up to her, "Aw this little one is so cute. But I am afraid I have to go." The rabbit soon walked off. "Such a cute animal."
Leshawna was bewildered at what she just saw, "That girl cannot be a real person." Leshawna stuttered out.
"She should have seen the wildlife back in the first season." Duncan said, amused by how someone like Ella could exist.
Dave meanwhile didn't seem to mind "Eh, she seems harmless. Not my type, but harmless."
"I wouldn't mind being her friend." Katie said, as she was strangely interested in getting to know more about Ella, a sentiment that was also shared with Sadie.
Blaineley continued on, "Okay folks, listen up, our next set of contestants are selfie loving girl Kitty." As such a girl came out with a phone and quickly took a picture of herself as Blaineley walked up to her. "That phone is for pictures only, right? Your contract said no internet access."
Kitty, who was shocked, quickly regained her composure "Yes Blaineley. Solely for pictures, nothing more." Kitty quickly defended herself and everyone accepted her explanation.
"Okay we will allow it. Next up is Mickey." Blaineley announced as a guy who was even shorter than Cody came out of the bus, wearing a safety helmet, and a light blue sweatshirt. But before he could even step off the bus, he fell off the bus onto the ground unprompted, and with her close by, Kitty picked him off the ground to help him out while Cody who got a look at the guy, also ran up to them. Something that Cody himself couldn't explain why he did.
"Are you okay?" Kitty said with Mickey looking particularly dizzy until he saw Kitty, and another contestant Cody, had walked up to him, which made him somewhat gain his composure.
"I'm uh fine. Thanks, girls and nice guys don't usually-" Mickey began saying before Blaineley butted in.
"Yeah, this is fascinating, but we have a show to run." Blaineley rudely said as Cody and Kitty helped Mickey to his feet. "Moving along. Next is the fashionable fashionista Jen, seriously why did people write their own intros. Lorenzo who is so much better than his fatass brother Chet, and Laurie an earth loving vegan." Blaineley introduced as each stepped off the bus for Jen, she was sizing up everyone from a fashion sense while Laurie was looking for someone she could relate too, and Lorenzo had a confident glare on his face.
"Where do they find these nutcases?" Noah asked. "They are starting to make Izzy look sane." Noah said before looking to see Izzy blabbing to Lindsay about something that made Lindsay wince, "Okay maybe not that crazy. But a vegan, seriously?"
"You sound very judgy." Sky said as she stood next to Noah.
"I uh, I am not judging of her, but if her being a vegan the only thing interesting about her, then it is just weird." Noah defended himself, being completely thrown off by Sky overhearing him.
"Next up is Brody." Blaineley announced as the next teen came out of the bus, with Geoff immediately grinning and Brody did as well.
"Bro." Geoff and Brody said at the same time and gave each other a hug, as everyone could instantly tell both of them knew each other, similarly to a Katie and Sadie situation. "I am so happy to see you." both Geoff and Brody said in their hug.
Jo was the first one to comment on this "You two know each other? How is this fair?"
Geoff was the first to comment "Yep, Brody and I grew up together. We lost touch last year, but this is the best moment of my life." Geoff began to say before looking over to Bridgette who did not look happy "Besides meeting you, of course babe."
"You are lucky you are hot." Bridgette said, in an unimpressed tone, before kissing Geoff's cheek.
"Awe thanks." Geoff said, as he kissed Bridgette on the cheek back.
Blaineley continued on "Next up is Chase."
"What's up, bros!" Chase excitedly said before walking up to the rest of them. "Oh dudes, I am so excited to do something dangerous. You guys know my Cliptube channel, '3 Guys In A Beach House' it is the best."
"This dummy has no clue what he has gotten himself into." Duncan noticed.
"Oh and no one has heard about your silly channel." Noah said in annoyance at the guy.
"Harsh." Sky said as Chase nodded along with her.
"I just tell it how I see it." Noah defended himself, from what Sky said.
"Well whatever, I will bring the ratings for this show." Chase declared, annoyed that no one was taking him seriously.
"That's great, Chase." Blaineley said. "Because we have another twist just for you specifically, Chase, it's your ex-girlfriend Emma."
"What the who now?" Chase said in fear as many people broke into laughter over Chase's predicament and his confidence leaving instantly.
"Oh, that is just cruel, but funny." Jo said laughing.
As such Chase's girlfriend came off the bus "I don't get why I had to be blindfolded, and I could have sworn I just heard his voice-" Emma began to say before coming off the bus and noticing Chase "WHAT IS HE DOING HERE?" Emma yelled out in pure anger.
"Babe?" Chase meekly replied. Unfortunately for Chase saying that set Emma off and she went to tackle him only to get stopped by Brody and Geoff who held her back.
"Calm down dudette." Brody said holding onto her tightly.
"I hate him!" Emma yelled out. "I hate him, he ruined my life!"
"Okay let's cut it out folks." Blaineley said. "You will have plenty of time to rip each other's heads off. Next up is Millie and Damien."
Damien, who was very excited, went off the bus "Oh cool, where is that million dollars at?" Damien asked which made everyone raise their eyebrows. "I don't see it anywhere."
"You have seen the last two seasons, right?" Gwen asked in astonishment, "They don't just give you the money. Owen and Beth earned their money."
"No, my friends had me sign up for this show on a dare." Damien proudly said. "A million dollars for a dare, how could I say no?"
"Oh, I get why the producers wanted you." Blaineley said. "Last two people up are Bowie and Julia." Julia was seen taking a selfie of herself and began posting on social media while Bowie had a strut in his step until Blaineley stepped in with Julia at least.
"Okay Julia unless you are only posting pics on your phone and not online you have to give me your phone. All your phones." Blaineley said as Chris walked up, and Julia began giving away phone after phone.
"Ugh, yes you are co-hosting Blaineley but this is still my show." Chris snarled at Blaineley before looking around "Where the hell is Chef?" Chris announced angrily as if seemingly on cue the plane was shown "Well at least the plane is here. All aboard for a journey."
"You really expect us to get something that unsafe. I doubt that has met health code regulations!" Dave protested.
"No! No! There's no way I am going in that thing, called the United Nations, call my mom! You can't make me do this. This is unethical-" Owen began frantically saying before Chris gave Eva a frying pan to hit him in the head with to shut him up which Eva was more than happy to help with.
"That should shut his fat ass up." Eva said after the deed was done.
"Mommy." Owen weakly said before passing out.
"Thank you, Eva. Anyone else have an issue?" Chris said, looking even more annoyed. Quickly everyone shushed up. "Great, because here we go on, Total Drama World Tour!" with Chris singing the last part.
Duncan looked annoyed "Seriously? Singing?"

The theme song immediately begins showing Owen underwater swimming while Noah and Cameron look on in disgust underwater pointing to Owen's lack of swimsuit which makes Owen instantly cover up
You Guys Are On My Mind
The camera pans up to show Harold showing off his moves on top of a weaved boat while Dave and Leshawna look confused until a paddle is shown hitting Dave and Harold knocking them into the water while Leshawna glares as the camera pans to Duncan who is laughing at the situation.

(End Of Intro)
Common Area Of Plane
As Blaineley and Chris entered the plane Gwen was the first to speak up, "Singing? I figured Chris was joking about that." Gwen asked.
"Aw, I don't mind Gwen." Ella said, "I love to sing, it soothes my soul."
Leshawna raised her eyebrows, "You like to sing? I mean I like to dance, but singing, yeah no." Leshawna protested.
"Well girls like to sing, little birdies sing. People like me don't sing." Duncan protested himself.
"Sexist much about women only liking to sing." Julia said in annoyance about what Duncan said.
"Oh, shut up." Duncan said in anger at Julia's statement.
"Your sexism isn't good for my brand by the way." Julia said.
"You can't be serious?" Duncan responded back to her. "Your brand of being annoying?"
"Is beatboxing allowed? I am pretty good at that." Harold asked as Duncan walked up to him, with Duncan's anger growing.
"I will beat you up if you try that." Duncan told him as his rage was growing, as Leshawna stepped in between both of them.
"I am not doing another season of you two bickering so both of you back off!" Leshawna said as her and Harold both glared at Duncan, both angry at him for voting them out the previous season.
"Why are you making us sing?" Heather asked, annoyed at the situation.
"Because singing shows are all the rage right now and besides the worst the singing the better the ratings." Chris explained. "Now due to the fact there are 48 of you guys, not all of you sing per episode as due to the request of our boss Don Strauss" Chris further went on.
"Don Strauss?" Topher stuttered, under his breath loud enough for the cameras to hear but no one else heard, with only Topher knowing why he said that.
"Thank goodness,'' Eva said out loud as she knew she couldn't sing at all.
"But we will need a certain number of you to sing per episode in order to satisfy the bosses. How many we need to sing we will not tell you." Blaineley further went on as many contestants complained about that.
Chris took the reins next "Anyways next up is the common area where if you aren't in first class you will be enjoying in flight meals from Chef." Chris explained.
"Not for long eh, I am in it to win it!" Ezekiel declared.
"Oh great, here we go again." Harold noted, rolling his eyes, holding a lot of contempt for Ezekiel in particular.
"I have seen the first two seasons, and you have the worst track record though, no offense" Zoey chimed in. showing her superfan side, and also trying to make sure Ezekiel didn't embarrass himself.
"I know, and that's why I have gotten faster, smarter-" Ezekiel began until Chris put his hands on his lips to quiet him down.
"Ugh can you just shut up. Besides Tyler you are the least popular person to the fans." Blaineley said annoyed.
"Hey! I am fine!" Tyler protested that he was that unknown as this was also a sore subject for Tyler himself, due to a certain person.
"Excuse me, is there a bathroom somewhere nearby?" Leshawna asked, looking around at the plane.
"Just down the way to the left," Chris explained.
"Great because I have to make a deposit." Leshawna said walking towards what would be the confessional.
"Who refers to that as a deposit?" Mickey asked, getting a shrugged shoulder response from both Trent and Cody.
"Leshawna just has a way with words." Harold said in awe.
"If that's what you want to call it." Mickey said, confused about Harold's admiration.
Confessional- Leshawna
Leshawna was about to use the bathroom when she opened her eyes and realized a camera was there "There's a camera in the potty, again!? Ugh can't a sister get a little privacy."
Economy Class
By this point, Leshawna had returned as everyone was standing in a gray room with two benches, "The two teams who lose the challenge have to sit in the economy section for the next trip." Blaineley said.
"Uh Chris. Where are our beds?" Lindsay asked, looking around, really confused.
"Owen's demonstrating right now." Chris said as the camera panned to a sleeping Owen who was strapped in.
"Plane, no!" Owen said, as he was drooling.
"That's not comfortable at all." Cameron noted, scared of having to live in that type of situation.
Blaineley laughed at Cameron's response "Why would we give comfort to losers?" she asked.
"She has a point." Damien noted. "An evil point, but that makes sense."
Scott however didn't seem to mind "I have experienced worse back at the farm." he stated, confidently.
"I seriously doubt it." Courtney scoffed at that notion and how confident the farm boy was acting, unaware of the first impression she gave off to Scott.
"This won't happen to the Zeke. I need to see First Class for where I will be staying.' Ezekiel proudly boasted unaware that right next to him both Topher and Noah could smell his breath which made both gag in disgust. "What's wrong eh."
"What you need is mouthwash homeschool." Noah pointed out. "Your breath smells as bad as Heather's cat does, I imagine."
"I have some mints" Topher offered with Ezekiel quickly grabbing them saving himself any more shame.
"Thanks, eh." Ezekiel said embarrassed.
Sierra walked up to Chris with a huge grin "Chris, you make me go LOL." she said and then laughed, freaking everyone out as they backed away from her, including Chris in fear.
First Class
All of the contestants had made it into first class, looking around with Alejandro as he began to enact his 'Master' plan as he saw it, "Ah first class this is the place for ladies such as you two." Alejandro said with both Emma and Lindsay near him
"Ladies, there are ladies here, oh you are referring to me. Aw thank you Alejandro." Lindsay said blushing before continuing, "That is such a lovely name, I could say it all day."
"Please do." Alejandro offered as he could tell he had Lindsay right where he wanted her to be.
The camera panned over to a few of the male competitors, Tyler had a sad look on his face, Chase seemed annoyed that Emma was talking to Alejandro, DJ was impressed, while Justin was shown glaring. "What is that guy's angle?" Justin asked.
"That guy is smooth like my momma's gravy." DJ noted impressed. "Doubt he is much of a schemer."
Chase however had a look of determination, "I still have the charm." Chase said, trying to pose and impress Emma, "Hey babe." Chase said but this caused Emma to stop noticing Alejandro and for her to scream and once again try and lunge at Chase with Beth, Lindsay and Alejandro grabbing her from doing so before Emma decided to walk away.
"Lindsay's supposed to like me." Tyler wistfully said.
"No one can keep up with gravy." DJ noted.
"Lindsay watch me, I can do a handstand." Tyler boasted, unfortunately for him he had no sense of balance and hurt himself as he fell to the ground. "Ow, damn it!"
"Oh my gosh, are you okay, um. I am uh blanking on his name." Lindsay said, looking at Beth and Alejandro. "Oh, what is it, Beth?"
"It's Tyler," Beth noted, as she didn't want to deal with Lindsay forgetting his name or remembering his name but not him physically.
"Wait, but you told me all of last season that Tyler's never coming back." Lindsay answered before she kneeled to whisper in Beth's ear. "So that can't be Tyler. He is one of the new guys, right?" Lindsay asked, confused.
"Right, I did Linds, but Tyler's here right now. Don't you remember this is a new season. The guy that just fell. That's Tyler. He's not one of the new guys." Beth said pointing to Tyler who was still on the ground injured.
Lindsay then realized that Beth was right, and was thrilled "Oh my gosh, yay!" Lindsay emphatically smiled at the news and lifted Tyler up soon after as he was confused about what was going on.
"You remember me?" Tyler asked. Lindsay answered by nodding. "Oh, this is the best day of my life, YES!" Tyler screamed prompting everyone to shush him. [1]
"Miss Beth no wonder you won last season, that was such a kind act to tell Lindsay about Tyler" Alejandro noted feigning actual interest as he approached Beth.
Beth was shocked and blushed at Alejandro's comment, "Aw thanks." Beth blushed. The camera soon went over to Heather and Justin who were both glaring at Alejandro.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Due to Beth getting Lindsay to remember Tyer, Lindsay is less likely to get manipulated, since well she is in a relationship. She still might be, but maybe not. Beth however, I can work with that and make her my pawn and dispose of her when I don't need her."
Confessional- Heather
"Something about that guy Alejandro drives me crazy. I can see right through him. He is trying to be just like Justin last year but nowhere near as conceited, I just hope I am not the only one who sees the bad vibes he gives."
Confessional- Justin
"That dude is doing what I wanted to do last season and doing it successfully. That is so unfair (slams hands on counter) ow, did I bruise?"
Chris' Headquarters
Chris was next to introduce the next section "This is the hosts quarters. This place is strictly prohibited from the contestants, but I do want to give a shout out to Don Strauss again for hooking us up with these right Blaineley?"
"Don Strauss." Scott said quietly himself with a slight frown on his face, as he like Topher had a connection to Chris and Blaineley's boss.
"Ugh, Leshawna could use a hot tub like that though." Harold noted with Ezekiel nodding before Harold glared at him and walked away confusing Ezekiel further. "Jerk." Harold told himself, as he continued to walk away.
"What's wrong with him, eh." Ezekiel asked as Cameron shrugged his shoulders.
"I don't know, maybe he is upset he can't be in the luxury class?" Cameron suggested unsure of what was wrong with Harold.
Confessional- Heather
"Anyway, with everyone from Season 1 back, Alejandro looking like a real threat, I have to have this huge target on my back since a lot of people hate me. Luckily there are some newbies, and I don't think everyone from Season 1 hates me. Read the room Heather and then strike. Making 'friends' with people though is just not my style."
Common Area
"That wraps up the tour. There is the cargo hold and gallery, but we will get to those later." Blaineley noted.
Soon the plane shook as Katie accidentally fell into Alejandro's lap "Senorita are you alright?" Alejandro asked.
"Um, is the earth moving?" Katie asked looking into Alejandro's eyes, seemingly transfixed.
"Nah silly we are, woo-hoo!" Izzy yelled out in excitement.
"Now I am sure you guys remember one last thing, the elimination ceremony." Chris asked. The camera quickly flashed to everyone standing in the room looking around as Chris continued "Now we were going to do bags of peanuts for the safety symbol but since someone ZEKE, has a peanut allergy the show decided to stick with marshmallows. Much to my annoyance and I assume Owen's delight." Chris said, looking around for Owen. "Wait, where's Owen?"
"Don't you remember he is still zonked out in economy class?" Noah reminded him which almost prompted Chris to throw Noah out of the plane already for snarking back.
The Musical Number
As all 48 competitors were sitting on the stumps by the table, DJ was the first to speak up, "Every moment we are flying. We are getting farther away from momma." He lamented.
Jasmine was the one to give him a comforting reassurance, "I am sure no matter what she is proud of you."
"I know, I know she is proud of me." DJ said in sadness. "Doesn't make this any easier though."
Elsewhere at the table Cody was sitting across from Sierra but one could tell he was uncomfortable and wanted to be anywhere else, "Cody Emmett Jameson Anderson, born April 1st, you are my very own April fool." Sierra said creepily, making Cody back out of his seat. Unfortunately, he fell right on top of Mickey who was right behind him.
"I am so sorry! I didn't see you there." Mickey said in an awkward tone, as Mickey didn't notice him and both guys had an awkward first true impression of each other due to the weird position they were in. However, before Mickey could say anything more a bell dinged as the camera panned to Chris and Blaineley, the former in a makeshift tuxedo and top hat while Blaineley had a longer version of her traditional red dress.
"Alright time for the first musical number and for this first one it will need to be over half the cast who sings." Blaineley explained.
"Okay, but what do we sing about?" Zoey asked. "We don't have any source material."
"Well for today it has to be improvised." Chris explained.
"Yes, I am great with improv." Topher explained to Zoey who still looked confused, as he continued "Just follow my lead."
"And mine." Ella gleamed.
Come Fly With Us
"Up, up, up, up", Ella, Sierra, Courtney, Lindsay, Katie and Sadie began singing
"Sing, sing, sing, sing", Topher, Cody, Dave, Lorenzo, DJ, Harold, and Tyler continued.
"We're flying and singing, we are flying as we are singing." All of them sang together.
"Come fly with us." Sierra sang in first class, "Come fly with us" both her and a reluctant Cody sang as he was getting pushed around on an item by Sierra much to his chagrin.
"We've got a lot of crazy tunes to bust" Izzy sang popping out of a vent.
"Come fly with us." Katie sang first, "Come fly with us" Sadie soon joined her best friend.
"It's an honor and a pleasure and a must." Alejandro sang offering his hands to both girls who instantly blushed
"Dudes this is not right, why are we singing on a plane." Duncan lamented unknowingly singing himself.
"What did you expect, Chris is insane." Harold sang with his nunchucks before accidentally hurting himself.
"But guys come on. We are singing on TV." Gwen noted.
"It can't just be me who wants to though." Ella noted making Gwen sigh.
"Come fly with us" Jasmine and Leshawna sang.
"Come fly with us." Shawn and DJ sang as well before some unexpected turbulence made all 4 lose footing in first class.
"Do you even know how to fly this thing?" Heather asked, scared.
"I try' Chef said nonchalantly.
"These people think they can leave me and depart." Ezekiel began singing
"But these boys have winning in their hearts." Chase said as the camera panned to him
"No you don't." Emma flatly told Chase.
"Come fly with us" Bowie sang
"Come die with us." Dave and Noah sang.
"We're flying? Get me the hell out of here!" Owen sang before Eva was shown with a frying pan to knock him out.
"Come fly with us. Come sing with us." Cody, Heather, DJ, Geoff, Brody, Mickey and Millie sang in a group.
"No!" Anne Maria and Scott protested.
"Does anyone want a season 3 copy of the rules because when the song comes on…." Chris began to say until Bridgette took the contract.
"Unless specifically said you should sing or face instant elimination." Bridgette sang.
"Scott sing it, let's go." Courtney told the farm boy.
"Anne Maria, sing it, don't go." Topher told the jersey girl.
"Well i guess I don't wanna go home this early so come and fly with us." Anne Maria sang.
"This sucks," Scott sang as the whole group was shown together "yes it does" everyone sang at once as the bell dinged again
"Strap yourselves in competitors," Chef announced, "We will soon be landing in our first destination, Egypt. Musical number is over"
Many people cheered at this as the camera faded to commercial break.
Outside Pyramid
Two interns were shown hoisting both Chris and Blaineley on a throne as Blaineley began "You fellas ready for some fun, it's a hot Egyptian day and we call today's challenge Pyramid under or over."
Leshawna however was not impressed, "An 11-hour flight so my booty is starting to get sleepy."
Millie also noted "Chef's interesting cuisine, that is not legal."
"Not to mention a forced musical number and now we have a challenge?" Scott protested.
Duncan however shrugged his shoulders, "I am shocked everyone is complaining. It's Chris."
"Aw thanks Duncan." Chris mockingly said which got Duncan more annoyed. "Don't you all love this game."
"Million dollars, yes. Staying awake for who knows how long? No." Damien said.
"Dude it's not about loving the game, it's about the million dollars." Brody told Damien. "This is all so cool!"
"I know, but now I can't believe what I signed up for." Damien said, annoyed with Brody's positive disposition for this show.
Start of Challenge
Harold was shown sweating profusely "It's like we are getting cooked in a giant oven."
"It would help if you didn't have aluminum foil and looked like a baked potato." Leshawna noted as the camera showed Harold with an aluminum foil hat.
Cameron walked up to both of them "Aluminum foil means aliens can't read your brains. There has been an alien outbreak here lately." However, Leshawna glared at Cameron for saying that, making the bubble boy shrivel up. "Sorry, Leshawna."
"It's okay, but don't act all factual boy." Leshawna told Cameron. "That stuff will annoy people a lot." Leshawna said before turning back to Harold, "That includes you too."
Blaineley spoke up to get everyone's attention. "Now an important thing to note. The showrunners want us to be upfront with you guys, unfortunately, but we kind of agreed to a compromise. We are telling you now this challenge will help determine the 3 teams this season."
"Wow, 3 teams?" Zoey noted. "That's a first for Total Drama, right?
"That's right Zoey. That's what the producers wanted, now we decided to add our own twist so without further ado." Blaineley said, unveiling a set of handcuffs.
"Handcuffs, seriously is this pyramid a secret jail house?" Duncan asked, annoyed with the whole handcuff concept.
"Nope." Chris answered. "Everyone is going to be handcuffed to another person during this challenge to help them through this challenge, cross the finish line we have set up and the cuffs come off instantly. When I call your name, come up and we will get you set up. First up is Trent and Jen."
As the fashionista and guitarist walked up, Jen noticed Trent's shirt and gasped "That is such an amazing style, you pull it off very well." Jen complimented Trent.
"Thank you?" Trent questioned as he and Jen were handcuffed. "No one has ever said I have great fashion and style."
Chris continued on, "Next up is Zoey and Topher."
"Aren't handcuffs intimidating?" Zoey asked meekly, as she walked up.
"They are but I imagine Chris would have this be for this challenge only, and on the bright side we are going to be teammates no matter what. By the way I'm Topher" Topher assured her, before officially introducing himself, as despite him looking like someone similar to Justin or Alejandro, he was more friendly than them.
"Zoey is my name, you probably already know that." Zoey awkwardly said. "Well, that makes me feel better, that it's only for the challenge." Zoey said with a slight smile as she and Topher seemed to hit it off.
"Anyways, let's keep this moving Heather and Scott, Sierra and Anne Maria, you are the next duos to get handcuffed." Blainely said annoyed,
"Oh, hell no, she gets Mr. Model" Anne Maria said pointing to Topher, "and I get purple hair." Luckily for her Zoey didn't hear what she said. "This is not fair at all."
"I am not exactly happy about this myself. I don't get to be handcuffed with my Cody-wody. That will just be a dream." Sierra sighed angrily as people like Cody, Mickey, and Kitty were freaked out and backed away from her.
"Okay something is seriously wrong with you." Anne-Maria noted, wishing she was anywhere else. "You don't even know Cody." Anne Maria further noted, unaware how ironic she was being since she didn't get to be with Topher.
"Next duos are Katie and Sadie, Ella and Kitty, Lindsay and Bridgette, Geoff and DJ, Jo and Sky, and also Chase and Emma" Chris announced, smiling brightly with the last mention.
"No, no way am I getting paired with that sexist pig" Emma protested until DJ lifted her up "Hey what the heck?"
"Sorry girl, but we are all going through this challenge together." DJ said as he set Emma down next to Chase who put the handcuffs on them soon after even if Emma was less than thrilled.
"Don't say a word, Chase." Emma said in anger. "I will hit you upside the head if you say a word." Emma threatened.
Blaineley continued on "Okay, next up Justin and Alejandro are a pair as well as Brick and Julia, and Cody and Mickey." Blaineley announced and while the first two didn't have any issues, Mickey tripped on his own two feet walking towards the box of cuffs.
"You, okay?" Cody asked, as he helped Mickey to his feet and to not have such an awkward encounter like they did on the plane.
"Yeah, I'm fine, it happens all the time." Mickey explained as he grabbed the handcuffs after standing up. "But you should probably be the one to put them on, I am rather clumsy unfortunately."
"Ha wicked wipeout dude. Anyways, Izzy and Eva, you are also a pair." Chris announced. Izzy unfortunately got too excited and grabbed the pair of cuffs and slapped them too hard on Eva.
"Okay let's just get this over with. Owen and Noah are a pair" Blainely noted, with said pair having different mindsets. While Owen was ecstatic to be paired with his best friend, Noah was trying to analyze who he and Owen should align with for the third season after his embarrassing performance during Season 1. "Also paired up is Dave and Lorenzo, Duncan and Bowie, Brody and Millie, Gwen and Courtney."
"Ugh, you can't be serious." Courtney lamented. "Of all the people it's the girl who has eyes for my boyfriend."
"Gee thanks Courtney." Gwen noted sarcastically. "That's just what I want to hear from someone who I am going to be on a team with for the first time."
Chris finished up this section of the challenge "Okay our final pairs are Ezekiel and Cameron, Leshawna and Harold, Tyler and Damien, Shawn and Jasmine, and lastly that leaves Beth and Laurie." Chris announced as each pair grabbed their handcuffs and cuffed themselves.
"On your marks, get set! Go!" Blaineley announced as Chris banged two symbols in her ears. "Seriously?" Blaineley yelled at Chris, after the symbols banged. The camera showed many of the duos deciding to head inside the pyramid.
Inside Pyramid
Many of the duos decided to go in with the duos doing under the pyramid being Owen and Noah, Heather and Scott, Leshawna and Harold, Izzy and Eva, Trent and Jen, Katie and Sadie, Ezekiel and Cameron, Cody and Mickey, Brick and Julia, Chase and Emma, Ella and Kitty, Jo and Sky, Sierra and Anne Maria, Beth and Laurie, Dave and Lorenzo, and lastly Zoey and Topher.
Everyone who went in, stopped in place at what they saw. Chris and Blaineley deliberately didn't mention the many different pathways in fact there were four to be exact [2]. "Oh great, our lovely neighborhood hosts failed to mention the different paths." Noah said in annoyance.
"Sierra, where do you think we should go?" Heather asked. Heather had her eyes on her first as a newbie since Sierra seemed strong, and possibly gullible.
"Um, I don't know." Sierra said confused as ever, not ready for that responsibility.
"Wait, how do we even know which way to go?" Owen asked as Izzy had a bright idea or at least looked like she did.
"Ooh, I know, I saw this in a spy movie once, you lick your finger and use it to try and find the air flow. The sand crunches in your teeth" Izzy began saying before looking at Cameron, "Cameron, is it? Give me your hand." Izzy said as she approached Cameron.
Leshawna who has never had the highest opinion of Izzy decided to step in, "Don't do it skinny boy. You'll catch a case of crazy. Come on Harold, let's go down this door." Leshawna said, as her, Harold, Cameron, and Ezekiel went down one of the passageways.
"Thanks Leshawna," Cameron said, happy to get away from Izzy, as she freaked him out. "Izzy kind of scares me."
"Ooh, Eva let's go down the scary mummy door, come on big O!" Izzy excitedly claimed, as she, Eva, Noah, Owen, and a reluctant Dave, and Lorenzo joined them, the latter two unsure of where to go at all and decided to take a chance with these duos.
"This passageway seems safe." Mickey noted as he and Cody went down another one, with that inclination, Sierra and Anne Maria went with them as did Heather and Scott. Not before Anne Maria glared at her predicament. Chase and Emma soon followed not wanting to get left behind.
"This one has good lighting so let's go down this one." Julia said in a fake excited tone.
"After you ma'am." Brick said, trying to be a gentleman. "I insist."
"Okay first of all do not call me ma'am. I am not old or anything." Julia said sternly dropping her facade as a nice girl. With that Brick shut up, and along with them, Jo and Sky, along with Trent and Jen joined them.
"Um, I still can't decide what pathway to go down. Is it too late to try outside?" Laurie asked.
"Won't this place probably have traps assembled?" Zoey asked.
"Yes." Katie noted. "Wait a minute, I have a fun idea. Come with me." Katie called out as her, Sadie, Ella, Zoey, Topher, and Kitty all entered the same passageway that Heather's group did.
This left only Beth, Laurie, Brody, and Millie still deciding, "Let's just follow Leshawna and Harold." Beth instructed the remaining people. "They are smart and my friends." Beth explained.
"Dang, I wish Geoff didn't have to go over. This would be so cool to experience with my best bro." Brody lamented as the camera flashed away.
Outside Pyramid
Tyler, Damien, Bridgette, Lindsay, the aforementioned Geoff, and DJ were all looking at the pyramid as Tyler asked "Is it too late to go under the pyramid?"
"Alejandro and Justin, I guess seem to be doing fine." Lindsay noticed, "Alejandro is like the sweetest mountain goat ever and Justin is the, what is it called the packing mule?"
"Wait Lindsay I can be a goat." Tyler chimed in trying to get Lindsay's attention.
"And you are, you are my prince, have fun with Dane, is it?" Lindsay asked as she looked at Alejandro, not really acknowledging Tyler.
"Damien." Damien noted that Lindsay was swept off her feet by Alejandro as he carried both Lindsay and Bridgette on his shoulders while Tyler glared about his situation. Damien however felt different, "Don't worry about her, at least she remembers you right?" Tyler nodded solemnly, agreeing with Damien. "I may not appear it, but I am smart, and I did calculate how to properly jump these steps. That way we can finish ahead of Alejandro, and you can be a hero to Lindsay." Damien explained, hoping his potential, new friend would understand.
"Fine, let's just get this done with before I get hurt." Tyler stated, with a sense of dread in his voice. "I am bound to get injured."
"That's the spirit, wait what?" Damien said looking at Tyler in shock. "What do you mean you will get hurt?" Damien asked as Tyler explained how he was accident prone.
Meanwhile Courtney was assembling a 4-person rope belay to herself, Gwen, Duncan and Bowie and was currently tying Duncan, "Rock climbing was a team building exercise when I was a CIT and if that stupid idiot Tiffany hadn't messed up, I would have won."
"I always said Tiffany was overrated." Duncan claimed, not sounding particularly interested as both Bowie and Gwen gave looks that they could tell Duncan was lying or not caring or both.
"Mock me all you want. You know I am right." Courtney said not amused by Duncan's lack of ambition.
Noah's Group
As Noah, Owen, Izzy, Eva, Dave, and Lorenzo walked in the pyramid Izzy noticed a set of mummy material "Yay, we're in the nurse's office!" Izzy exclaimed.
"It's a pyramid, not a high school." Noah quipped. "Wait, a minute," Noah looked around to make sure no one could hear him, "Since we are all together and are probably going to end up on a team together, we should all work together in this game." Noah explained.
"Like an (gulp) alliance" Owen asked, nervously.
"Not so much. Heather ruined that term for everyone. More of a we all stay loyal to each other type of deal." Noah explained. "Are you guys in?"
Dave, Lorenzo, and Eva all nodded their heads, and Owen decided to hug Noah "Anything for my little buddy." Owen exclaimed while Noah was struggling for air.
"I can't breathe." Noah weakly said, trying to escape Owen's grip.
"As long as I can be a mummy today, I don't care. Now mummy, me." Izzy exclaimed as everyone looked indifferent towards her excitement.
Outside Pyramid
Much to his shock, Tyler and his partner in the challenge Damien had managed to make it close to the top of the pyramid pretty quickly due to Damien's calculations, however Tyler looked down to see Alejandro carrying Bridgette and Lindsay and as friendly as Alejandro seemed, he just got Lindsay to remember his name and he can't even celebrate it that much. But given Damien's surprising determination to complete the challenge he decided to leave it be
Unfortunately for Geoff and DJ they made a great pace unaware of Bridgette being carried by Alejandro until Geoff jumped too quickly hitting a scorpion "Ow my hand!" Geoff yelled out nearly slipping until DJ grabbed him upside down and Geoff noticed what looked like Bridgette hitching a ride with Alejandro. To say he was stunned would be an understatement. "What is she doing?" Geoff asked.
DJ picked up his friend who looked shocked at the sight "Yo Geoff, you okay?" DJ asked, despite that Geoff was unresponsive until he pointed down to Bridgette and Alejandro. "Don't worry about that, we're making great time climbing the pyramid. So, let's keep going. It beats going inside. That area is probably cursed." DJ told his best friend as they kept on climbing.
Sierra and Heather's Group
Back inside, Cody and Mickey were walking slightly ahead of Sierra, Anne Maria, Scott, and Heather with Cody looking back noticing that Sierra was looking intensely at him "Can I tell you something guy to guy?" Cody asked with Mickey nodding, "That girl Sierra is creeping me out. She knows my full name and my birthday and up until a few days ago, I had never heard of her." Cody explained, looking behind to see how close Sierra was.
"I mean, I've never had a girl interested in me like that or really anyone. Most I have talked to a girl is them feeling pity." Mickey admitted to Cody. "Maybe that Sierra girl is the one." Mickey teased. "Regardless I've got your back."
Cody chuckled at that, "Thanks. Heh nope, I do not look at her that way. Not going to lie, I always wanted a crazy girl to be obsessed with me, but now that I have one in her, no thank you." Cody said laughing.
"I understand, even if I have never fell in love." Mickey said at Cody, both now enjoying each other's company, and both were becoming fast friends.
A little way back, an annoyed Anne Maria, an indifferent Scott, Heather, Chase, Emma, and Sierra were walking a little farther back when Sierra unknowingly to herself pressed a trap that set off a bunch of spears. Luckily Heather and Scott noticed and tackled everyone to the ground to avoid getting hurt. However, in the brief moment everyone sans them was stunned at the near painful experience Scott mouthed to Heather for them to talk later, confusing Heather.
Before Heather could say or do anything, Sierra luckily spoke up "Sorry Heather, and Anne Maria." she lamented. "Really sorry, everyone."
Heather was admittedly annoyed, but she knew she needed allies and Sierra while crazy was a good place to start, "It's fine. Could have happened to anybody." she said trying to hide her anger. "This place is probably filled with traps meant to kill us."
Back Outside Pyramid
Meanwhile Gwen, Courtney, Duncan, and Bowie were all climbing the pyramid. However, Courtney and Gwen were serving up just as much attitude as climbing much to Duncan's chagrin.
"Your form is appalling." Courtney told Gwen angrily.
"Geez Courtney, I was just wondering about that." Gwen mumbled out loud.
"You know it is not fair that we are cuffed together, luckily for you I am feeling nice today." Courtney told her.
"This is you being nice. Duncan, you have my sympathies." Gwen yelled out.
Unfortunately for Duncan at that moment he literally wanted to be anywhere else. "Do you hear her Duncan, you won't let her get away with this, right?" Courtney stated. Duncan continued to just sigh and roll his eyes at the situation while Bowie had a quizzical look on his face.
Confessional- Duncan
"It was being with crazy and crazier, and all I wanted to do was cut the rope off and get both of them to shut up in that moment and maybe shove one of them off the pyramid."
Confessional- Bowie
"Honestly, it was watching a damn soap opera between those two girls. I didn't really feel bad for Duncan, but I could tell the more we climbed the closer he was to snapping. Straight couples are messed up."
Inside Pyramid
In another section inside the pyramid, Laurie, Millie, Brody, and Beth were all walking together when Laurie noticed a mummified dog. "Oh my gosh" she yelled out, "That's a real dog."
"Wait Laurie, we don't have time to cry about a stuffed dog." Millie noted. "We're in a race!" Millie yelled out
"Aw, but it's probably lonely, and I want a souvenir from Egypt anyway." Laurie said, however as she touched the mummy dog it disintegrated, "Oh my gosh, what did I do mother earth?" Soon scarabs fell on all 4 of them.
"Scarabs!" Beth yelled out. "Run for your lives." As such all 4 of them run with Laurie having a weird sense of dread about the decision she just made.
"I don't want to die!" Laurie yelled out.
Meanwhile
With Noah and his group, they were admittedly a bit lost, "A dead end?" Noah asked out loud. "Seriously, there should only be two entries!" Noah yelled the latter part.
"Guys don't feel bad, I smell something lucky." Izzy said as she began sniffing around grossing Dave out.
"Um, Izzy, that might just be me…" Owen admitted reluctantly before farting "airplane food goes right through me." At this notion Dave straight up puked making everyone wince at the sight.
"Sorry, that just grossed me out." Dave explained. "Just don't like people grossly farting."
Confessional- Noah
"So, this alliance is going great, other than Izzy's craziness, Owen's grossness, and Dave's reaction's to said grossness, but everything is great….. I hope."
Another Group Inside The Pyramid
Katie and Sadie as the only former players from their group decided to lead, and more so show that Katie's sense of direction had improved, unfortunately they were tailing most of the other groups unknowingly to them, as Katie's direction still wasn't great, and Sadie saw a button that peaked her curiosity "Ooh Katie look it's a button, it reminds me of the time we pressed a button in elementary school and the firemen came." Sadie said, before turning to Katie, "Let's press it."
Topher overheard what she was saying but before he could say something they pressed it and covered themselves in mummy material. "Ouch that has to hurt." Topher chuckled.
"Here let me help them out with this stuff." Zoey noted as her and Ella both started digging through the mummy material until Kitty looked like she had an idea.
"Wait guys, we're in Egypt, let's dress them as mummies for fun. You only live once." Kitty noted. "If you guys are down for it?"
"Oh, this will just be like the costume party we went to with the guy who had a very bad breath.' Katie noted as she got out of the pile. "We're in, right Sadie?"
"Totally, this is going to be so funny." Sadie beamed in excitement.
"Okay, hold still, I saw this in a video game once." Kitty noted.
As Kitty and Ella began working on Katie's mummy outfit, Zoey and Topher were working on Sadie as the latter tuned out Sadie's ramblings as the two struck up a conversation, "The view today is amazing. Being in Egypt. So cool." Topher observed looking around.
"Yeah, the view is so good." Zoey said, seemingly distracted in her own thoughts.
"Hey Zoey, are you okay?" Topher asked, in concern at Zoey looking at him with a blank stare.
"I'm fine just admiring the view." Zoey quickly deflected. "So uh, tell me about yourself Topher since we are guaranteed to be teammates."
"Oh uh, small town boy, nothing special." Topher quickly said in a tone that was a bit nervous. "I may look special like people say, but I am not that special in terms of my life story." Topher explained.
"That's really cool, no matter what." Zoey said, convinced of what Topher said.
Top Of Pyramid
Alejandro, Bridgette, and Lindsay were standing on top of the pyramid looking down with Justin off behind them, seemingly annoyed.
"Oh my, it's too steep to carry you down any farther, you ladies go on ahead, you deserve it." Alejandro said flattering both of them.
"I have an idea Lindsay," Bridgette noted looking at a sign posted on top of the pyramid. "We can surf down using this, hang tough. Ready Lindsay?" Bridgette asked.
"Ready! Oh, look there's Tyler, we should pick him up on the way down." Lindsay asked seeing Tyler and Damien making great progress on the other end of the pyramid, as she and Bridgette began surfing down despite Bridgette's hesitation as she knew the faster, they headed down the less likely it was they would be able to get Tyler. Alejandro sighed in satisfaction while his partner Justin looked annoyed about his partner's actions.
"What's the problem mi amigo?" Alejandro asked Justin with fake concern.
"Cut the crap. You are just using your charms to swoon all the ladies." Justin accused. "That's my schtick!"
"Why must you accuse me of such things, I am a man of honor and integrity. As a matter of fact, the next team that comes up here, I will let them pass." Alejandro said, with how much being honorable has yet to be determined.
As fate would have it, Geoff and DJ were shown climbing up to the top confused at the two staying at the top. However, they paid neither of them any mind when they saw Bridgette and Lindsay going down the pyramid and Geoff wanting nothing more to be on Bridgette's team took off, as right now he could only trust DJ, Bridgette and Brody.
"You were saying" Alejandro gloated making Justin look dumbstruck.
"Whatever, let's go catch up." Justin pouted, following with Alejandro reluctantly.
Confessional- Justin
"I don't care what he says, I don't trust him. There is something off about him."
Finish Line
The first people shown exiting the interior of the pyramid were Leshawna, Harold, Cameron, and Ezekiel. They had found the most forward and direct path. However not much was said between the group as there was an odd tension brewing.
Blaineley noted the group's success "Good work guys, you guys are the first ones to finish."
"Wait, we're first?" Cameron asked, shocked at the turn of events. "I am not complaining, but I figured with my small stature we would have fallen behind."
Leshawna walked up to Cameron "Don't sell yourself short boy. You can do anything you set your mind to as long as you believe it."
Harold also piped in "Yeah, you didn't slow us down at all." Harold said, looking at Ezekiel with a glare.
"You were awesome, eh." Ezekiel reassured Cameron as the two high fived, cementing their friendship.
At the same time Shawn and Jasmine were shown finishing, after climbing down the pyramid, "Good job Jasmine." Shawn noted his partner in the challenge.
"Thanks mate. Climbing comes naturally to me." Jasmine explained.
Soon after that Beth, Brody, Millie, and Laurie came out with Beth and Laurie shaking the last scarabs that were on them desperately off.
"Maybe I am still afraid of bugs. So disgusting." Beth noted. "Wait, we finished in the Top 10?!"
"Yes! Thank you!" Laurie cheered. "Thank you, mother earth!"
"Dudes, I mean girls, that was so awesome." Brody said as he saw who his teammates were.
"Okay go stand behind the #1, and Harold, I know you want to say facts and stuff for what the Egyptian numbers are. But please don't, your fact telling bores the audience. Studies show." Blaineley explained as Harold put his head down solemnly.
Inside Pyramid
Sierra, Anne Maria, Chase, Emma, Cody, Mickey, Heather, and Scott were all shown running scared out of their wits end.
"I didn't think there'd be actual mummies here. Would be cool to film them, wouldn't it babe." Chase asked Emma.
"No, it wouldn't. One you do not get to call me babe, two I will feed you to the mummies if you keep annoying me." Emma yelled out. "So shut up and keep running!"
"No, you won't." Chase said, as they kept running.
"Try me!" Emma yelled back.
As that group kept on running the 'mummies' turned out to be Katie and Sadie dressed up in mummy gear, with Topher, Ella, Kitty, and Zoey walking up behind them.
"I know it's mean but pulling a prank like that is awesome. Not something I would do at home." Ella noted as she walked up right to Katie and Sadie.
"Yeah." Zoey said, shocked they pulled it off as she was never the biggest of mummies, "That was kind of fun, and hopefully they see it as a joke."
"You girls all did amazing." Topher added, with each girl slightly blushing at him complimenting them in particular Zoey.
Confessional- Zoey
"You know, I came to Total Drama because I was a fan and I was going to wait a few more months to apply, but I got the call for an earlier season so I couldn't pass up on it as they loved my audition tape. I hope I make friends even if I am not the biggest about jocks in general, like they are fine but have huge egos." Zoey explained before having her mind shift to Topher. "Yet despite that Topher is an enigma to me and I am interested to know more about him. I hope he doesn't mind the flower in my hair. What if he hates it?"
Finish Line
Unfortunately, things weren't as fun outside, or were about to, as Bridgette suspected, trying to pick up Tyler with a makeshift surfboard wasn't the best idea as they were moving too fast "Look out. We're going to crash!" Bridgette yelled out.
For Tyler and Damien however, it was too late as Bridgette and Lindsay crashed right into them leading to a huge pileup as all four of them crossed the finish line in a mess. "Ugh, why did I sign up for this show?" Damien lamented as he tried to stand up.
"When you klutzes get ahold of yourself, stand behind the one." Chris told them as soon after Geoff and DJ came down the pyramid as they saw the accident and soon after Justin and Alejandro. "Geoff and DJ" stand behind the one, you guys are the final members of team 1." Chris explained to them.
"What about us?" Alejandro asked, as he was hoping to be on the first team.
"Don't you guys remember 3 teams? 48 of you guys, each team makes up 16 people, so the first team is filled up." Blaineley explained.
"If it makes you two lady magnets feel any better you do get." Chris began announcing as Owen, Noah, Izzy, Eva, Dave, and Lorenzo came out running.
"Great…." Justin flatly said, clearly not amused.
Confessional- Justin
"Well, this team already blows." Justin complained. "Let's see here I don't trust Alejandro, Owen will always follow where Noah goes, oh and Izzy and Eva hate me."
Confessional- Alejandro
"(bleep) (bleep) incompetente."
Back To Scene
Next Brick, Jen, Julia, Trent, Jo, and Sky came out of the pyramid next however most of them had a look of terror on their faces along with some of them having a few bruises as they approached the finish line as a strong odor also pierced a lot of people's noses.
"Good gosh, what is that awful smell?" Dave asked in disgust. "It smells like someone pissed their pants."
"We went down a path with no lights whatsoever and someone in our group peed their pants due to the dark," Sky explained.
"Probably cadet soggy pants." Jo said pointing to Brick who was about to defend himself before deciding against it as he looked embarrassed.
"Okay you guys are all on Team 2." Chris said as they all walked up with everyone giving Brick a fair amount of space due to the incident.
Sierra, Cody, Mickey, Anne Maria, Scott, Heather, Chase, and Emma all came out of the pyramid, however most were terrified of the mummies they saw earlier, to say the least, Sierra didn't seem to mind as she was carrying Cody and dragging Mickey. "I am so glad we found you guys, aren't you happy Heather?"
Heather was not amused, "I am so happy I could scream."
"Ow, ow. Sierra stop dragging me!" Mickey yelled in defense. "I am in so much pain!" Mickey said as he was being dragged along the Egyptian sand.
"Yay we finished the pyramid! Group hug everyone. Come on Heather," Sierra said happily, giving Cody a bear hug against his will as he and Mickey looked miserable as Mickey was trying to get out of the situation, as Heather reluctantly walked up to the hug as Scott and Anne Maria also reluctantly joined since they were handcuffed to Heather and Sierra respectively.
"Okay awkward group hug is over. Anne Maria and Sierra you ladies round out Team 2 so go join them." Chris explained as Sierra walked up happily while Anne Maria glared at her being on a team she didn't want to be on. "As for the rest of you, you begin Team 3."
Mickey leaned over to Cody, "Feeling, okay?" he asked. "You looked shaken up."
"Now that I don't have a stalker on my team, it makes me feel better." Cody explained, "Besides Gwen's not here yet which means she gets to be on my team."
"You still have a crush on weird goth girl?" Heather asked, annoyed.
"No, just happy she gets to be a teammate." Cody explained. "What about you Mickey?"
"Some scrapes and stuff, but I will be fine." Mickey explained, not catching Cody's drift, as Cody was trying to see if Mickey had a crush on one of the girls in the game, unaware of how Mickey actually felt.
Meanwhile Sierra was watching them talking and had a wistful look on her face, "Aw now I wish I was on that team, it has Cody and one day he will love me."
Anne-Maria was not amused. "You cost me my chances for the team I wanted to be on, so shut it before I give you a beat down." Anne Maria said, before making sure to cut deep with her words. "Besides he won't ever love you."
Sierra gasped at what Anne-Maria said, but before she could say anything, many people gasped at the two 'mummies' that came out.
"The undead is coming to get us!" Shawn yelled out and passed out at seeing a mummy, only for the mummies to reveal themselves to be Katie and Sadie.
"Oh my gosh, that was so funny." Katie laughed as she and Sadie took themselves out of the mummy costume, as Topher, Kitty, Zoey, and Ella also ran out of the pyramid smiling at the prank they caused.
"Not cool." Scott snarked, looking annoyed at his future teammates.
"You guys scared us half to death." Emma explained.
"I thought it was funny." Topher told himself, as Zoey agreed, nodding with him.
Meanwhile
Back at the top of the pyramid, all 4 of Courtney, Gwen, Bowie, and Duncan were at the top tied together, however the latter two were annoyed at Courtney and Gwen's constant bickering "I am telling you right now we need to untie." Gwen yelled out.
"And I am telling you it's unsafe, and I am the boss so what I say goes besides I was a CIT, I am an expert leader." Courtney told Gwen as the camera panned to Bowie who had a worried look on his face.
Confessional- Bowie
"With how much those two were squabbling, I figured it was only a matter of time before Duncan snapped and it turns out, he did."
Back to Scene
"That's it." Duncan yelled out, "I am not dealing with this crap, no, no, no! 3 hours of you two constantly squawking at each other in this heat and I am going to be on a team with both of you, forget it!" Duncan yelled out before cutting the rope as he dragged a reluctant Bowie down the pyramid as Bowie struggled to keep his footing.
For Gwen and Courtney, they were confused and just went right after him after his outburst as all four of them crossed the finish line as Duncan walked up to Chris "Okay so the rest of you are on Team-" Chris began to explain.
"Fuck that, Chris!" Duncan yelled out, "Put me on Team 2 or 1, I don't care."
"Dude, you have a contract." Chris began to say, until Duncan interrupted.
"I don't care, swap me and Bowie out. I am not dealing with those two on the same team as me." Duncan explained growing even more angry.
"Okay, okay, Duncan and Bowie are on Team 2, and Sierra and Anne-Maria are on Team 3.[3]" Blaineley explained as she sensed things could get physical between Duncan and Chris and the show didn't need a lawsuit.
"Great….." Cody flatly said as he realized Sierra was on his team now. "Well, that was an enjoyable 5 minutes."
"Okay, now me and my tan self are happy as Anne-Maria walked up to her teammates, specifically Topher "We get to be teammates." she said, trying to sound flirty.
'Yeah, isn't that great?" Topher said strangely excitedly but not catching her drift. "I am so excited. My name is Topher!"
Confessional- Cody
"Well, that was a good 5 minutes of not having to worry about Sierra." Cody said as he sighed "On the bright side Gwen, the new guy Mickey and the new girl Kitty are on the same team as me. So, it's not all bad." Cody explained. "Gwen and I are tight, and Mickey is quickly becoming a good friend, and something about Kitty intrigues me."
Confessional- Anne-Maria
"Topher will be mine eventually, I mean look at me, who could ever resist me. I am just shocked he is so eager for this whole game. I don't get it."
Back to Scene
"Okay teams discuss a team name amongst yourselves while I enjoy this ice cream cone. You have 3 minutes." Chris told the contestants.
"Team Victory!" Team 1 announced triumphantly.
"Team Amazon!" Team 3 announced, unfortunately Courtney and Anne Maria kicked Cody and Mickey in the kiwis unknowingly respectively which made both boys fall to the ground in pain.
Team 2 however was struggling until Jen had an idea "Team Style." which made everyone gasp as all her teammates said, "That's perfect."
"Okay the team names are established." Blaineley noted, "Now time for some rewards. For Team Amazon you get two camels."
"Ooh cute." Sadie noted.
"Team Style, you get two goats." Chris showed them as the goats rammed into Tyler and Trent making both of them wince in pain.
"Team Victory, you get a stick." Blaineley said, throwing a stick.
"So, the people that finished last get a camel and we get a stick. What the hell?" Leshawna said annoyed as she felt her hard work was for nothing.
"Trust me every reward has its advantages, I swear. All will be explained, if I feel like it. Next time on the Total Drama World Tour!" Chris sang.
"Actually, it's World Race now." Blaineley explained.
"What?!" Chris yelled out as the camera faded to black.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Walk Like An Egyptian Part 2
Recap
Blaineley and Chris were standing in the first class as the camera panned to them starting the recap "Let's take a few seconds to review our aircraft. Safety is our #1 priority." Chris began until Blaineley interrupted
"You wanted to throw Noah out of the plane when he snarked about Owen not seeing the marshmallows." Blaineley interrupted.
"Anyways, our passengers should remain seated while traveling, we have one exit. The elimination ceremony." Chris kept going.
"We also have brewing drama, huge tension, and a team shakeup already." Blaineley explained.
"As we explore exotic destinations, take time to familiarize with the local architecture, the world is our playground. When dividing into teams, give the crew a catchy handle. Upon arrival at our final destination one contestant will receive a gift they will never forget." Chris explained before getting interrupted again.
"One million dollars, but it won't be an easy or honorable game, right here, right now on Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley explained singing the last part.
"I still hate that part." Chris sniped as the screen cut away.
Theme Song
Dear Mom and Dad I'm Doing Fine
The theme song immediately begins showing Owen underwater swimming while Noah and Cameron look on in disgust underwater pointing to Owen's lack of swimsuit which makes Owen instantly cover up
You Guys Are On My Mind
The camera pans up to show Harold showing off his moves on top of a weaved boat while Dave and Leshawna look confused until a paddle is shown hitting Dave and Harold knocking them into the water while Leshawna glares as the camera pans to Duncan who is laughing at the situation.
You Asked Me What I Wanted To Be
Brick, Eva, Jo, Sky, and Courtney are shown paddling the boat with Jo and Sky glaring at each other with Sky also glaring at Duncan for what he did to Dave, while Brick looks enthusiastic and Eva has a neutral expression.
Now I Think The Answer Is Plain To See
The boat crashes into a raft holding Gwen, Ella, Kitty, and Mickey with Gwen looking resigned to her fate, Ella not seeming to mind while Mickey looks freaked out until Kitty gives him a pat on the back to try and calm him down.

Everything To Prove Nothing In My Way
Cody and Emma land in Sierra's arms with Sierra tossing Emma to the snow on her head with ease and then giving Cody a huge hug much to his discomfort. Lindsay is then shown a picture of Tyler, confused about it as Beth, Sadie, and Katie try to explain who he is before a bear shows up scaring all of them and making them run away.
Cause I Wanna Be Famous
The person shown in the bear is Izzy who laughs, while Millie is shown writing in her notebook, Laurie winces at the sight, and Scott laughs as well about the whole thing until a seal comes and bites Izzy's hands making all of them run away.

(End Of Intro)
Pre-Challenge
Each team is standing right behind their mats, for Victory the mat is gold, Amazon's is pink, and Style's is blue. Each has their reward with Victory's one stick, Amazon's two camels, and Style's two goats.
Izzy personally liked her team colors, "Ooh team colors, blue isn't my first color, but it is cool right big O?" Izzy asked her boyfriend, hoping for another make out session.
"Yes Izzy." Owen said infatuated with his girlfriend as the two began making out, much to both their pleasure and their teammates disgust.
"Ugh I love you so much." Izzy said in mid make out, which further grossed people out.
"Ew gross." Lorenzo said walking away. "Get a damn room."
"Agreed, it is way too warm to be making out." Dave said in disgust, wishing he was anywhere else. "Just, gross."
Harold however was less than pleased, not with Izzy and Owen's making out but the color of his team's mat, "Why the hell is our mat yellow, we aren't cowards which is what yellow stands for." Harold protested.
"Don't worry sugar, it's more of a gold than yellow as Team Victory is going to take this challenge!" Leshawna confidently said.
"To be fair Leshawna, victory is not guaranteed." Cameron noted until Leshawna slightly glared at him, "Never mind."
"I know it's not guaranteed but you can never lose hope string bean." Leshawna said confident, trying to make Cameron more confident.
"That's fair, never lose hope." Cameron cheered out.
Gwen meanwhile had other things on her mind, mainly Duncan and his outburst, "I can't believe Duncan just blew up at me like that and demanded to not be on the same team as him." Gwen moaned.
Zoey overheard Gwen decided to tease her fellow competitor for fun, "Ooh do you have a crush on Duncan?" she asked, in a joking way.
"No!" Gwen immediately said, "He and I are just friends, nothing more." Gwen defended herself "Besides he likes Courtney and is dating her." Gwen reasoned while Courtney glared at Gwen not wanting to start another argument with Courtney.
"That's what I thought." Courtney told herself. "He's, my man."
Heather however found the whole thing amusing herself "I doubt Duncan is capable of liking anything but the piercings on his face. Which just makes him ugly on the outside." Heather added as an extra insult.
Courtney had enough at that moment "Back off Heather, Duncan is my man first of all like Gwen just said, also he can do anything he sets his mind to whether he likes it or not. Besides no one would date someone with your hair history."
Scott also butted in the conversation at this point "Is that why he was so annoyed with you that he decided to abandon you completely?" he told Courtney with a huge grin as Courtney scoffed at what Scott said before slightly flinching, knowing deep down Scott was right.
On the other end of the spectrum, Duncan was livid at what had gone down on the pyramid and one Bowie was his captive audience or in Bowie's case he was the one stuck with Duncan still.
"Where does she think she gets off bossing people around and telling people she is some leader?" Duncan ranted. "Courtney is just too much to deal with."
Bowie decided to finally speak up "Wait aren't you also angry at Gwen?" he asked. "You snapped at her as well."
"Her too, but it's more so Courtney, she just bosses people around, you saw last season, right?" Duncan asked Bowie.
"I did, and she was a pain I imagine. Ugh, straight couples." Bowie said sarcastically. "Could not be me."
"Wait…. you're gay?" Duncan asked, as he never interacted with a gay person.
"Yep, out and proud and am not ashamed of it." Bowie explained. "Which is probably rare for this day and age. But I don't mind being outspoken."
"That's great, oh shit." Duncan cussed, as he looked like he remembered something and felt extremely guilty.
"What?" Bowie asked, confused.
"I'm just remembering last season when I called Chef a transgender troll when he was dressed in a wig and stuff during the fairytale challenge. I faced a lot of controversy for that." Duncan remembered as he couldn't even celebrate making it to the Final 2 last season as he broke Courtney's heart and his problematic comments were all people could talk about, and that is why he was very hesitant to do this season.
"You're sorry for the comments though, right?" Bowie asked.
"Of course I am, but it doesn't matter. I said it and you can't take back what you say or what you want to say." Duncan explained looking over to Courtney and more so Gwen which Bowie lowkey noticed.
Over by the Amazons, Sierra walked up to a rather irate Emma, "Oh Total Drama fans are probably so upset seeing Duncan and Courtney on the rocks, but maybe you and Chase together could be one of the next it couples."
Emma had a look of disbelief on her face before chuckling, "Yeah, no, no that's not happening even if my life depended on it. Do you want to know why Chase and I broke up?"
"Ooh gossip. I would love it." Sierra said.
"Me too!" Katie and Sadie said at the same time.
Chase walked up to the four ladies with a smug grin, "Yeah I'd like to know too. You just ghosted me out of nowhere, babe." Chase said, confused about Emma's disdain for him.
"Do you not remember cutting the brakes on my car for some prank?" Emma asked angrily. "You did that and not even tell me."
"He what?" Sadie asked in shock.
"Yeah, and it was hilarious babe." Chase defended himself, seemingly unaware that people were glaring at him for his recklessness.
"That's just stupid to do." Scott told Chase who was growing more defensive. "Especially if the car crashed."
"It did crash and ended up ruined." Emma explained. "The car was totaled. I only had a permit, and I destroyed a pet hospital. You have also never apologized for doing that and traumatizing me" Emma angrily explained before ranting to Chase and getting in his face.
"Wow, that's messed up." Heather noted overhearing the conversation as many people glared at Chase. "Even I wouldn't do that to a guy, as a joke."
"Sheesh, have a sense of humor babe." Chase defended himself.
"There's a sense of humor, and then there is almost causing animal manslaughter. The latter of which, you made me do." Emma told Chase as she stormed off, leaving Chase confused. "I hate him, so much."
On Team Style, Izzy was trying to get Noah and Eva's attention as the two were talking "Guys, guys watch Owen, he is about to do the Canadian National Anthem with his nose."
Noah and Eva both raised their eyebrows at this. "I am sorry but how is that useful?" Eva asked.
"It's not, it's just cute." Izzy explained as the camera panned to Dave facepalming.
"How did I end up like this?" Dave told himself.
Confessional- Dave
"Am I the only sane person in this alliance? What an odd group of people. But if it helps me win this game, I won't mind. It's just that Izzy is nuts, as is Owen, Lorenzo is rude, and Eva is a brute. They all suck."
Back To Scene
The scene shifted back to Team Amazon as Emma was done ranting to Chase and walked back over to Sierra, "Yeah, Chase and I are never getting back together if that's not abundantly clear" Emma told Sierra.
"Well love makes you do crazy things. Chase isn't Cody though. Cody is amazing, did you know he slept with a stuffed emu until he was…. well okay he still does." Sierra explained while Emma looked confused and a rather concerned Mickey and Topher both walked up to Sierra.
"You know Cody does this? First of all, why?" Topher asked, as that seemed weird to him.
"Second of all, how? That feels kind of stalkerish." Mickey said, grossed out.
"Well why? Cody is my favorite Total Drama contestant, and I see a future with him as he and I are made for each other. even if other things say otherwise." Sierra explained. "As for how, I called his aunt once and I pretended I was a telemarketer." Sierra explained to everyone as Mickey looked at her like she was a crazy person.
"That's an invasion of privacy if I heard one." Mickey said, walking away slowly from her. "Poor Cody." Mickey also said, a saying he would repeat.
"It is not. Cody and I are destined to be together." Sierra declared with only Topher listening to her, as Cody walked by and struck up a conversation with Kitty and Mickey off screen. "Homewrecker." Sierra told herself looking at Kitty and Mickey with disdain.
Noah who overheard the conversation, chimed in "Stalkerlicious, guess his aunt is dumb enough to answer unknown numbers from fake telemarketers." Noah snarked, however before Sierra could further explain herself, Chris and Blaineley interrupted.
Chris was shown sitting on an intern, same with Blaineley as Chef had a pair of symbols and another two interns were fanning them. "I don't know about you guys, but I am loving Egypt, what do you say Blaineley?"
"I agree, and we will love it a lot more with your next challenge. The amazing races." Blaineley said as Chrs raised his eyebrows.
"I thought it was the amazing camel race?" Chris asked.
"Don Strauss didn't like that, he wanted it to be just a race since not every team has a camel." Blaineley explained as Chris gritted his teeth.
"At least we got the best animal, yes!" Anne Maria cheered out loud.
"How are we supposed to ride a goat let alone two of them, this thing is useless?" Lorenzo asked as the goats both decided to ram into Lorenzo. "Ow, that's smart." The goats were gonna attack him again until Alejandro whistled for them to stop as one went into Alejandro's arms and the other one into Bowie's.
"Wait a freaking second. We won last time. Yet the ones that finish last get two camels, they get two goats, and we get a fucking stick?!" Leshawna asked angrily as Millie walked up to her.
"Chris said each advantage has its benefits, don't count us out, we are Team Victory. I just hope it's not ironic." Millie reassured Leshawna as the camera panned to Cameron who was looking at the stick.
"Hmm." Cameron told himself. "What if?"
Confessional- Cameron
"Something about that stick looks familiar but I just can't place it."
Back To Scene
Blaineley continued on, "Anyways, each team must take their prize to the Nile River and cross it. First team to do so wins immunity and first class."
"What about 2nd place?" Brick asked, as many thought Blaineley misspoke.
"They along with last place go to elimination tonight." Chris told the contestants as everyone gasped at that.
"You can't be serious." Jo said in disbelief. "How is that fair?"
"That's right, two teams are sending someone home tonight. So, the stakes are very high. You have 5 minutes to figure out who goes on what ride and get in position." Blaineley explained.
Confessional- Heather
"Our team has to win, if we go to elimination tonight, I am dead meat. Everyone who hasn't played before will just glom onto a name and whose name is most likely to get thrown out? Mine."
Team Amazon's Mat
Heather moved to the top of one of the camels, as she sat triumphantly "Come on people let's move, we should have 5 people on each of the camels, and another person bringing up the rear hanging on in the back."
"Since when is this a dictatorship, Heather?" Courtney asked. "Besides that, still leaves 4 of us on the ground to keep up with the camels. That's a tall order."
"Do you see enough room for everyone on the camels?" Heather asked.
"No, but if we do this, we should probably have the strongest of us be the ones running alongside it." Courtney explained.
Chase then immediately spoke up, "Well then, all the guys should run while the ladies sit on the camel. Since guys are stronger than girls." Chase explained, however everyone on his team gasped at the sexist remark. "What, was it something I said?" Chase asked as Emma smacked him in the face.
"You sexist pig!" Emma said in anger.
"He just pulled an Ezekiel." Sierra whispered to Zoey who nodded her head.
"Okay ignoring Chase's sexism, I do agree Courtney the strongest and most athletic should run alongside so Mr. Big Mouth aka Chase, you along with Scott, Courtney, and Zoey will be the runners. Any objections?" Heather asked as no one disagreed.
"I still think you shouldn't be the leader, and I would be better but whatever." Courtney snarked while getting off the camel.
"Both of you would lead this team to hell." Gwen said as she got on the first camel herself. "Okay, who else is going on this camel?" Gwen asked. "We have two camels after all."
Katie and Sadie both eagerly got on together at the same time with Katie sitting on Sadie, while Sierra sat right next to the camel's throat.
Cody decided to be on this camel since it had Gwen and even went up to talk to her, "Hey it's fancy meeting you here. Up for a slushy later" Cody tried to say charmingly.
"A slushy? That guy is desperate and pathetic." Anne Maria observed as she chuckled with Topher and Zoey standing by her.
"Come on, let's see how this goes." Topher told the jersey girl, trying to sound a bit more optimistic as they were getting on the second camel.
"Cody, it's great to be on the same team as you, and uh, thanks for setting me up with Trent on Season 1." Gwen nervously tried to explain.
"Yeah, that was great, now that he's gone. You're single, I'm single, and available." Cody tried to flirt unaware that everyone was cringing at the sight, well sans Sierra who was gawking at Cody herself.
"Ladies and gentlemen who aren't Chase, do you all hear that, it's a man sounding more desperate than the girls that will lock their doors after hearing that." Heather said which got a laugh from most of the girls and even guys like Scott, Chase, and Topher, as the camera panned back to Topher, Zoey and Anne Maria.
"You were right." Topher said, trying to hold back his own laughter at Heather's joke.
Cody meanwhile felt shame and walked up to Mickey and Kitty who watched the scene feeling embarrassed for Cody. "Wish that went better." Cody told himself.
"That has to be less than ideal." Mickey noted with Kitty nodding her head. "You must be embarrassed and want to hide in shame unfortunately."
"Eh, it just takes time, persistence and humiliation, and let me tell you folks, I was born to be humiliated." Cody said confidently before walking away leaving both Kitty and Mickey confused as Kitty noticed what Mickey was wearing and was thrown off by it.
"What? Is something wrong?" Mickey asked.
"It's nothing, but how are you not sweating in a sweatshirt in this temperature, doesn't it feel hot?" Kitty asked Mickey in total disbelief, at what he was wearing.
"I actually don't feel heat or cold either way. Doctors cannot explain it. That's not weird right?" Mickey explained before asking, nervous about how he came across.
"No, it's not. Everyone has their own little quirks." Kitty explained as Mickey took his spot behind the camel while Kitty took her spot on the second camel's back as Emma took the front, Ella took the throat, Anne Maria took the top with Topher riding on top of her.
Confessional- Mickey
"It's nice to have a conversation where people don't judge you for something you can't control. It means a lot to me." Mickey said as he sighed looking down "I'd rather not say why though, but so far people like Kitty and especially Cody are great, Cody especially seems very nice."
Team Style
Alejandro decided to give his team a pep talk to inspire them, "We need no camel, we have each other, and we are unstoppable. We have the will, we have the strength, and together we will triumph!" Alejandro proudly declared.
For many of the team they cheered at Alejandro's speech however for a handful of people mainly Justin, Noah, Jo, Bowie, and Julia none of them looked that impressed.
Confessional- Noah
"Something about this guy Alejandro, reminds me of a mix of Justin and Heather, and that's a recipe for disaster." Noah explained, "I don't trust him."
Confessional- Jo
"I want to be the one to lead this team and hype them up. But no Mr. Suave has to do it. Ugh, people like that make me sick. Too bad everyone eats that crap up, so I had to keep the mouth shut, which I don't like to do if I don't have too, but whatever."
Confessional- Bowie
"Look Alejandro has the body to die for and is hot. But he is an obvious threat. Anyone with a brain can see that."
Confessional- Bridgette
"I feel bad that I ignored Geoff the last challenge, but since we agreed to have our heads in the game, it's not the worst thing. Alejandro is just nice to look at and it makes me reconsider everything with Geoff. But I don't think I can tell him that yet. No, it would break Geoff's heart!"
Team Victory
Over at Team Victory each of the members were just waiting anxiously for the challenge to start as Harold was shown holding the stick, "On the bright side I can use this stick to defend us from deadly sand snakes. They could be anywhere." Harold announced.
At the announcement Lindsay jumped into Tyler's arms, Bridgette jumped into Geoff's which Geoff quickly looked over and got a thumbs up from DJ and Brody. Lastly Leshawna yelled out "No way!" as she jumped into Harold's arms.
"Fear not my lady, I will protect you. Harold exclaimed before 'accidentally' hitting Ezekiel with the stick in the eye.
"Ow damn it." Ezekiel yelled out loud. "Ow my eye! Cameron?" Ezekiel asked.
"What is it Zeke?" Cameron asked, as he ran up to his day 1 friend.
"Is my eye, okay?" Ezekiel asked as he showed a black eye and Cameron winced in disgust.
"Hold it, seriously hold it." Laurie said walking up to Harold, "We shouldn't trust you with the stick, what if you seriously hurt someone." Laurie said, tossing the stick into the air until it came back down with a bird that got hit in the head and presumably in Laurie's eyes killing it. "What the?" Laurie asked herself.
"Or something." Damien observed as he saw the bird lay motionless on the ground.
"What no? No, forgive me mother earth." Laurie screamed out as her teammates slightly cringed at her reaction.
"It's not that big of a deal." Beth noted as everyone silently agreed with her and were thinking the same thing.
Confessional- Laurie
"First I destroyed a mummified dog in the pyramid, now a bird. I love animals. This never would have happened if I didn't sign up for this show." Laurie explained. "Wouldn't be the worst thing if I got voted out for this."
Team Style
Alejandro continued to order his team around, "Okay I have an idea, Noah, Izzy, Jen, Trent gets on the base of each goat. Next I need Owen, Eva, Dave, and Jo on the first goat, finally I need Justin and Julia on the second goats second row, and Bowie with Lorenzo on top of that one." Alejandro explained as it left him, Sky, Duncan, and Brick still on the ground. "Okay, who here can do a somersault to the top of the stack, and pronto?" Alejandro asked as Sky raised her hand.
"I can do one." Sky said, as she quickly performed one, stunning many people.
"Why, what do you plan to do Al?" Owen asked.
"Sky follow my lead." Alejandro explained ignoring what Owen asked, as he managed to get the first goat group of himself, Noah, Izzy, Owen, Eva, Dave and Jo perfectly balanced while Sky did the same somersault and got the second group balanced.
"Okay sir, Alejandro, sir. What do you want us and Duncan to do?" Brick asked.
"You guys keep up with the goats, you are two of our strongest runners." Alejandro explained as Sky, Jo, and Eva all rolled their eyes at Alejandro underestimating their athletic ability.
Start Of Challenge
"Attention contestants" Chris announced as everyone looked over to him and Blaineley. "Nile's that way, kind of big, blue and watery. You can't miss it. Or if you do you'll probably get eaten by scarabs. It's mating season and they turn into killers." Chris explained as Blaineley looked over to see what Chef had with him and realized the tons of scarabs in the container.
"Chris, Don doesn't want the contestants to face actual potential death. I thought you got the memo." Blaineley asked.
"I got the memo. I just never read the memo or care, besides the musical number is coming up." Chris said softly and as if it was fating the musical note played as all the contestants groaned.
"Uh huh, yeah okay." Blaineley said into her talking earpiece. "Our boss wants one person per team to sing how they feel. For Amazons it will be Courtney, Style it will be Duncan, and for Victory it will be Tyler. Winner gets a 1-minute head start and luckily for each of you it's only a few lines you have to sing or at least last for a minute" she explained. "Courtney you're up." As a soft guitar soon played.
Courtney's Egypt Song
Every day I try to be neat, I try to be perfect, but what's the point if I have no one to beat.
I love someone strong; I don't take too kindly to him being silly, but what are we even worth if he is not willing.
I need someone who loves me for me and all of my quirks, where do we go from here if it all goes down from where we stood up there
I love him but does he even see what I think we should be?
Everyone looked at Courtney in awe of her small confessional as the music cut out and Chris took the megaphone "Okay Duncan, you're up."
Duncan's Egypt Song
It's hard for me to say what I feel when everything keeps changing
She is supposed to be my one, but how can we stay together when we can't talk or even feel like we are in love and we keep spinning
We fight and break up, make up and make out, but all I want is out
She deserves someone that will make her feel free but I don't think it's me.
Duncan sang solemnly looking down as no one wanted to speak but Blaineley decided to keep the show going as Tyler looked eager to sing until Blaineley put a stop to that "Yeah no, Tyler singing was a joke, as this is clearly between these two and all the relationship melodrama and no one wants to hear from the least popular Total Drama contestant, Chris what says you."
"I am gonna give the one-minute head start to Duncan and on that notion. Go Team Style!" Chris announced as Team Style began their start. "Okay that's it, I am giving Don a piece of my mind. Putting these kids in danger is supposed to bring in the fun and the scarabs would have been a huge hit. Anyways the rest of you just go already!" Chris announced exasperatedly as he picked up his phone ignoring the advantage Blaineley had set up.
The camera panned over to Blaineley. "Who's going bye bye to this episode? Find out on the Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley announced with Chris in the back, yelling out
"Stupid, no service out here." Chris yelled as the show cut too commercial.
Middle Of Desert
On Team Amazon's first camel consisting of Katie, Sadie, Gwen, Heather, Sierra and Cody on it was behind the first camel as Ella was a great guild for her group's camel while Sierra was less than ideal as she was gossiping in the camel's ear about Cody, as Scott and Courtney ran alongside the one with Sierra while Chase and Zoey ran alongside the second one that had Ella.
"Come on camel, come on boy. You got this." Katie said encouraging the camel.
"That's not how you do it. Allow me." Heather proudly stated. "Move your ass, move it!"
"Can't believe I am saying this but that is much better." Gwen said, shocked she was agreeing with Heather.
"Shh guys, keep it down I am telling the camel here all I know about Cody." Sierra explained as her teammates winced at that.
"She's not all there." Sadie said, as Heather and Gwen nodded in agreement.
Gwen then turned her head to make conversation with Cody, "So, Cody, how is it going back there?" Gwen asked looking behind the camel.
"Ow, it's going fine as long as it, ow, doesn't go you know what. Also, I don't want to know all of what Sierra knows about me. I will live in ignorance." Cody told Gwen as everyone agreed to just ignore Sierra.
"Ha, he keeps getting hit." Scott laughed at Cody's predicament as Sierra glared at him while he was running.
On the second camel Topher was looking around, "Oh my gosh, this is so beautiful. Riding camels in Egypt. Once in a lifetime opportunity." Topher beamed in genuine excitement.
"Agreed, Topher." Anne Maria said, sounding infatuated with Topher.
"Oh, I just want to say I love your accent, I assume it's a New Jersey accent?" Topher asked.
"Yep, proud of it, along with my hair, my nails, my tan." Anne Maria began explaining as while Topher looked interested, the other people on the camel looked annoyed, with her bragging.
Back over at the first camel, Heather noticed Team Style behind them and decided to taunt them, "We are going to go win this race now, see ya."
Courtney, inspired by Heather's actions, something she would never admit publicly, also decided to join in "Eat sand losers!" she yelled out while running.
Alejandro however remained unphased "Such witty remarks from such beautiful women."
Courtney didn't seem bothered "Nice try Alejandro, but I am with Duncan," she protested.
"But do you deserve someone who would so willingly abandon you like that?" Alejandro told Courtney which made Courtney's eyes widen, while Duncan himself wasn't pleased either.
"Dude seriously." Duncan said, annoyed at Alejandro causing drama and making him look worse in Courtney's eyes.
"He's not, Duncan is just, will someone hurry the camel up." Courtney asked in frustration, lost for words at what Alejandro said as the camera panned to Scott who had a very slight smile on his face at that interaction.
"Heh, maybe there's a chance." Scott told himself, as Gwen overheard him as the camera showed her acknowledge Scott's statement with raised eyebrows.
Confessional- Courtney
"Duncan and I are fine." Courtney declared. "Yes, I feel a bit insecure and lonely after he didn't even want to be on the same team as me. But we're fine." Courtney said before her eyes widened. "Wait, did I just say I was insecure?"
[static]
"Give me that tape! Come on, how do you open this thing?"
Confessional- Heather
"The fact that guy turned Courtney, one of the biggest headstrong competitors ever into a blubbering mess. He's good. What's his deal, he's just so perfect, gah!"
Back to Scene
Heather was looking around "Hey Sierra, Ella can either of you see the Nile?" Heather asked.
"Nope, nothing yet." Sierra explained.
"No luck Heather, sorry." Ella said sadly from the second team's camel.
"It has to be around here somewhere." Courtney yelled out in frustration. As luck would have it for Team Style, they saw what looked like the finish line as Alejandro saw the Nile.
"Guys I am changing our route, Nile is just that way, Duncan, Brick get ready to turn with us, Sky follow my lead." Alejandro ordered as soon as the goat he was on along with the second one soon ventured away from Team Amazon, something that Mickey noticed.
"Hey, where did Team Style go?" Mickey asked out loud before hearing a particularly nasty fart from his group's camel. "Please don't poop, please don't poop." Luckily for Mickey it didn't but it still made his teammates gag in disgust.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Perhaps I could have been a gentleman and told the more girl team where the Nile was, but have you seen my team?" Alejandro asked the camera as if it was obvious. "We have a guy who farts every step, an absolute know it all schmuck, a crazy psycho, a physical psycho, a shallow pretty boy, and a horrible guitar man." Alejandro explained. "That's not even getting to the people that are new along with me. Add in that it's only one team winning this challenge and our team needs any advantage possible."
Back To Scene
Both camels were in place as Team Amazon began to lament their decision while Courtney, Scott, Chase, and Zoey all took a chance to catch their breaths.
Gwen however was not too pleased, "Guys we are all alone out here, the other team is gone."
"Thank you, Mrs. Obvious." Anne Maria said sarcastically.
"You know we don't need your sarcasm right now Anne Maria." Cody said as he was still holding onto the camel.
Emma was also impatient on the other camel. "Does anyone know where we are?"
Scott decided to be a bit sarcastic, "Planet earth, Egypt, a dessert."
"We're lost", all of Team Amazon yelled out.
Team Victory
Meanwhile bringing up the rear was Team Victory since they had to go on foot, Ezekiel made note of their situation "Guys the other teams are long gone, I haven't seen any of them for a while now, eh."
Millie looked to her left and gasped at what she saw "I could have sworn we saw that cactus 10 minutes ago." she asked tired and completely out of breath.
Lindsay however was none the wiser "Yeah we did." Lindsay said as she stopped and ran to the cactus. "Hi pointy. Someone needs a hug" before Lindsay could say or do more Beth grabbed her best friend.
"Linds, I love you, don't hug a cactus, it will hurt you." Beth explained tiredly as they both went back to running with their team.
"Aw thanks bestie." Lindsay said, as she ran some more.
Leshawna stopped dead in her tracks, "Guys stop we've been running in circles." at that everyone in Team Victory stopped and groaned in frustration.
Damien looked around himself, "We need to think of something." he said.
"Think of something, we are lost in the desert with a stick." Leshawna explained angrily. "What can we do with a damn stick? We are lost and are going to end up dead!"
"Hey Lindsay, can you give me the stick, just for safety reasons." Cameron asked, which Lindsay obliged, as Cameron continued to look at the stick carefully, confusing his teammates.
"What is that little dude up to?" Brody asked.
Confessional- Beth
"As much as Lindsay is my best friend, she did vote herself off last season. I just hope this season she doesn't get too dumb." Beth said before realizing how that came across. "Oh, is that mean, sorry Lindsay. Oh, crap this will for sure air. Oh no." Beth panicked as the screen cut.
Team Style
"Yay! There's the finish line" Izzy said excitedly as members of Team Style began to dismount off the goats right by the river.
"It's on the other side, Izzy." Noah explained as the camera showed Chris with a giant megaphone.
"Here's the final challenge, basket weave a boat across the Nile with your goats, first team to finish gets First Class and immunity from the other two teams you are sending someone home tonight." Chris explained.
"Okay basket weaving a boat, does anyone have any idea how to do this?" Alejandro explained.
"I think I have an idea," Lorenzo said. "My stepbrother who is totally lame has a mom that can basket weave, just trust me and we will be smooth sailing from here."
Confessional- Lorenzo
"I look at it this way, if I step up, I emerge as a vital part of my team. Easy as that, take that Chet." Lorenzo boasted, taunting his stepbrother back home.
Team Victory
All of Team Victory sans Cameron and Damien were sitting on the ground sulking at their predicament as the latter two were talking quietly to each other. "Are you sure?" Damien said as the camera picked up his audio.
"Stuck in Egypt, isn't that a bummer dudes." Geoff said as he and Bridgette were holding onto each other.
"From first place to last. Gosh!" Harold yelled angrily. "This is such crap."
"How can this get any worse?" Lindsay asked looking at the ground holding on tightly too Tyler.
"Wait guys, Damien and I have an idea. DJ break the 'stick' please." Cameron asked.
"Why, what, can breaking a stick possibly do to save us?" Jasmine asked as she looked very confused.
"DJ just do it." Damien demanded, growing slightly impatient "I am not dying in this desert."
"But I don't want to be violent." DJ said quietly. "Violence isn't the way at all."
"Either you break the stick, or I break the stick. I don't care anymore; I just want to get the hell out of Egypt." Leshawna explained angrily and impatiently.
Sure, enough DJ did break the stick after Leshawna's threat, and Harold instantly realized why they wanted to when he picked the stick up. "It's a divining rod!" Harold exclaimed. "This is perfect."
"I don't want to get struck by lightning." Lindsay said, raising her hand.
"Girl, you are thinking of a lightning rod, a divining rod helps you find water." Leshawna explained, slightly annoyed with Lindsay.
"Each advantage has its benefits, we still have a chance at this team, move, move!" Tyler said as Team Victory got up and booked it to the Nile with Laurie kind of trailing behind looking disinterested after the bird incident.
"Yay." Laurie flatly said, not sounding interested and dejected.
Team Amazon
Back with Team Amazon the camels were going in circles completely lost as Emma and Anne Maria were arguing on where to go on one camel while Gwen and Heather were arguing on the other one. That was until Ella spoke up.
"Hey guys please be quiet; I think the camel is trying to speak to me." Ella exclaimed. "Hopefully it won't be long now."
"Wait Topher stand on Anne Maria's hair, Anne Maria hold him down if need be." Heather instructed them on the second camel. "Any luck?"
"Yep, the finish line is dead ahead! We got this." Topher exclaimed as the whole team cheered.
"Let's move people." Heather yelled out, as the camels took off.
Nile River
As Team Amazon reached the river, they noticed Team Style's basket weaving boat which made Heather, Gwen, Courtney, Anne Maria, and Emma all look in disgust. "Basket weave a boat?" Heather asked in disgust.
"You have got to be kidding me." Anne Maria said in disgust. "No way."
"Wait, this is perfect. We have this challenge in the bag!" Sierra exclaimed, getting off the camel.
"How? We are hosed!" Scott explained, not that he felt worried for his chances of losing.
"Nope, I am a fourth-generation basket weaver, just get me a lot of reeves and we should be done in no time." Sierra said quickly getting reeves after reeds while some of her teammates like Katie and Sadie helped her out.
Zoey also walked up "We are going to need so many reeds with two camels and 16 of us. We got this, guys!" she exclaimed excitedly. "Go team!" Zoey called out.
Confessional- Heather
"You know, for as crazy as she is, Sierra could have some hidden depth to her. She could be a good ally to have." Heather explained. " Also, while Zoey is a total loser, I could eventually get her on my side. Good place to start if I survive tonight."
Back To Scene
Gwen walked over to Duncan who was working on his team's raft however a closer look revealed Team Style's raft was less than desirable.
"How are things going over here?" Gwen asked.
"Lorenzo took the lead and wants to build the boat." Duncan explained. "I have my doubts though."
"This looks worse than the hot tub you tried to make during Season 1." Gwen told him chuckling.
"It does, but no skin off my bones. Also, I just want to say I am sorry about earlier and lashing out at you. Can't change the teams now, but we should be fine." Duncan told Gwen. "We're fine right?"
"Yeah, we should be." Gwen said before walking away, feeling even more confused than ever about Duncan.
Elsewhere Mickey, Kitty, and Cody were all by the reeds handing them off to Zoey, Katie and Sadie who would then hand them off to Sierra to build the boat.
"Not that it's not great to have an apparent 4th generation basket weaver but am I the only one disturbed by her constant staring at Cody." Kitty explained as Mickey felt uncomfortable and Cody wasn't much better. "It's creeping me out."
"She genuinely makes me feel uncomfortable, and I am someone who gets scared pretty easily." Mickey said, picking up a few reeves. "Thank goodness, I am not allergic to this stuff." Mickey further told himself.
"At least you're not the one on the receiving end of her affection. You should have heard the things she said to the camel. She apparently knows all my allergies, my family members, and even my social security number." Cody explained as he shuddered, before a faint smile was shown on his face. "At least we didn't get the goats." Cody explained himself as he chuckled.
"You're allergic to goats. Same here." Mickey said, finding something for him and Cody to bond over.
"Not goats, but goat saliva." Cody told them both. "County fair. Goat came loose, drooled all over me and I needed an EpiPen to make sure I didn't end up in the hospital. Still don't go to fairs because of it." Cody explained.
"A goat straight up tried to maul me." Mickey explained as the camera cut away after Cody cringed at that statement.
Meanwhile on Team Style their boat was coming across nicely, at least in Lorenzo's mind. However, for the smarter people like Noah, Alejandro and Bowie, they could tell it was not structured properly but each decided to let Lorenzo sink, if need be, even if Noah probably shouldn't have. While Trent meanwhile was preventing the goats from eating their supplies as Jen walked up to him.
"I am shocked you can handle animals so well." Jen said, sitting down next to him as Trent kept petting a goat to make it calmer.
"I don't know, I guess the animals like me." Trent tried to explain unsure of why the goat liked him.
"That's so cool." Jen said as both of them smiled at each other, happy to find someone they could bond with.
Back at Team Amazon, Sierra was putting the final touches on her team's boat "Ta-da! What do you guys think?" as the boat was absolutely massive.
"Team Amazon rocks." Everyone on Team Amazon cheered.
"Wait now we have to get the camels in the boat." Mickey lamented as his team looked on in concern as the camera panned to a struggling Team Style.
"Ugh no fair." Brick lamented at his team's predicament.
"Don't give up guys, follow Lorenzo's lead and we can catch up." Alejandro tried to explain, while also trying to put the spotlight on Lorenzo.
"Al's right guys we still have a shot at this. Thanks Al." Owen said cheerfully, unaware that Alejandro cringed at what Owen just said. Something that Noah and Bowie took note of.
Confessional- Alejandro
"It's no problem. I don't mind being called Al. (shivers) "It's chilly here, they have the AC on."
Confessional- Bowie
"I think I found Alejandro's weakness. Or should I say Al." Bowie confidently said. "I'll use it in due time."
Back To Scene
Team Victory finally showed up as Blaineley had the megaphone "Yada-yada boat. Yada-yada build it and cross the Nile."
Leshawna decided to motivate her team "You heard the lady, yada-yada. Let's go!"
While with Team Amazon Mickey and Cody were the ones trying to get the camels in the large boat "Can someone explain why we are the ones dragging the camels in when neither one of us are strong." Mickey asked.
"Heck if I know. We're the two weakest physically on the team." Cody said pushing his camel. "This is not fair."
"Cody, Mickey, hurry up. Our lead is squandering." Heather yelled out.
"Come on buddy. Maybe if I push from behind." Cody told himself, as he walked up to push the camel. Unfortunately, he got more than he asked for when he lost his grip, and the camel pooped on him disgusting him and his team "BLEGH!" Cody yelled out.
"Cody!" Sierra and Kitty both called out before looking at each other, with Sierra glaring and Kitty confused by Sierra's disdain.
"Okay, Sierra makes sure Cody doesn't puke his guts out. Everyone else gets on a camel and start pulling. I am not going to be eliminated tonight." Heather yelled out.
With Team Victory, they however were making quick work of their boat and were catching up big time.
"Aye mates, who's excited to have just one measly little stick now?" Jasmine asked
"I am." everyone on Team Victory said.
Leshawna was also excited "And who's happy Leshawna knows her way around a weave. First place, first class, and victory here we come!" Leshawna cheered.
"Just a few more reeds and…. done!" Damien exclaimed. "The boat is perfect. Everyone needs to get in and grab an oar we finally have a lead."
"Go, go, go!" Brody cheered as Team Victory began entering their boat.
For Team Style their boat was also finished. "I present to you Lorenzo's masterpiece." Lorenzo proudly exclaimed. However as more people went in, the more the boat sank until Owen stepped in and got the whole boat destroyed. "Oops." Lorenzo said as he felt embarrassed and wished he was anywhere else."
"NOW WHAT?!" Eva yelled out in pure anger.
"Ooh I can speak camel." Izzy said, as she walked up to Team Amazon, and spoke to the two camels on Team Amazon which got into the Amazon's boat much to her team's chagrin.
"Izzy, why?" Noah asked despondently, feeling like his whole game was crashing down.
"I wanted to give them a fair chance." Izzy said sheepishly. "Sorry."
"Quick, does anyone have any way to make a quick simple boat? Trent and I can hold onto the goats. But we need someone to build a boat. Pronto!" Alejandro said impatiently as Brick raised his hand. "Okay Brick, hurry up and make another boat. Let's hope for a miracle. Everyone needs to move, move!"
Back at Team Victory the whole team had piled into their boat with the exception of Harold, "Come on Harold." Leshawna asked as Harold launched himself onto the boat as he and Leshawna crashed into each other and awkwardly kissed.
"Awe, that's so cute." Lindsay and Beth said at the same time.
Ezekiel raised his eyebrows as Harold punched him in the arm, still holding contempt for the homeschooler in general. "Ow, that wasn't cool dude, eh."
"I don't care at all." Harold sternly said. "Let's just paddle to the finish."
With Team Amazon as many paddled Courtney noticed the crocs were extra hungry "The crocs are gonna kill us. Hit them in the head if need be. We have a lead, let's not blow it."
"Forget about the challenge, I just hope we can make it to the shore alive." Gwen noted.
"Gators calm down to music. I remember reading that on the internet" Cody explained, "Maybe Ella could sing?"
"That sounds like a great idea, Sir Cody." Ella happily said as she began humming. "La..."
At Team Victory's boat, Lindsay also noted the crocodiles were getting closer to their boats "Guys the things with sharp teeth are getting closer."
Harold who was out in front told the team "Just bop them on the nose. It should vanquish all foes." as if on cue Ezekiel took a look at the stick and was gonna bop them before Laurie took the stick out of his hands and threw it up in the sky before it landed in the water soon to get eaten by a crocodile. Whether she did it deliberately or not, only she knew.
"Guys, I lost the stick." Laurie said ashamedly but seemed content oddly enough.
"What?!" Leshawna asked. "We don't even have our reward?"
"At least I didn't hurt the croc." Laurie said trying to look on the bright side, unfortunately for her the crocodile that ate it, spat out the stick and it hit Tyler right in the face.
"Ow, that hurts." Tyler said holding his nose in pain. "Is my nose bleeding?" Tyler asked as he showed his nose now showed a bruise.
"Not bleeding, but bruised dude." Brody explained, wincing at the sight.
"Oh, that's not good is it." Laurie said.
"Not good?!" Damien said in bewilderment, "We could probably lose the challenge right now!"
"Look dudes, let's just finish this challenge the best we can." Geoff said seemingly resigned to his fate as well as the teams and to make matters worse both ends of the boats got chomped down by another pack of gators as Team Victory desperately tried to finish with what little dignity they had left.
"Come on team we're almost there." Zoey said as her and the rest of Team Amazon put it into high gear and finished first with everyone celebrating. A few minutes later Team Victory crossed the finish line, and finally twenty minutes later Team Style finally crossed the finish line in pure shame.
Chris walked up to everyone "Okay fellas. That's the challenge, congratulations to Team Amazon for a dominant victory. Unfortunately for Team Style and Victory each of you are sending a teammate home. You have until tonight to make that decision. See you then."
Cargo Hold
After the challenge, Noah was seen pacing back and forth in the cargo hold deep in thought as Eva and Dave soon walked up to break the book nerd out of his trance like state. "How do I make this work?" Noah said to himself. "This is not good."
"Yo, string bean. What have you all freaked out about?" Eva asked.
"Trying to figure out which alliance member to cut loose." Noah explained.
"What? Why?" Dave asked. "This alliance hasn't been around for a full day, and we are already cutting someone loose."
"Look as much as I distrust people like Alejandro, Justin and heck even Jo. I don't think we can get the votes on them." Nowh explained. "We have 6 that would not be enough. We just need to figure out who to cut loose between Izzy and Lorenzo." Noah told both of them, with both Eva and Dave seeming to understand how Noah is feeling. "What are your thoughts?"
"Lorenzo is a horrible leader. Seriously, that boat was a disaster from start to finish." Eva told both of them.
"But Izzy is absolutely crazy." Dave tried to rebuttal. "That and her constant making out with Owen, is going to put a target on their backs."
"If Izzy stays, we have to keep a close eye on her, if Lorenzo stays, we are never having him try and take leadership on a task." Noah explained to both of them as the camera flashed away with all of them looking uncertain of what to do.
Common Area
Elsewhere in the Common Area Lindsay, Beth, Tyler, Cameron, Geoff, Jasmine, Damien, Millie, and Harold were all sitting at one of the tables as Tyler and Lindsay were busy flirting. Harold tried to grab everyone's attention "Listen guys I know who needs to go." Harold said confidently.
"Duh, it's Laurie, she cost us the challenge when she threw the stick out of Zeke's hands. Nice girl but she has to go." Damien told Harold defiantly, which annoyed Harold.
"No. We should go after Ezekiel. He was going to hit a crocodile with a stick and lose us the stick anyway." Harold explained his reasoning.
"But still she cost us the challenge and her head's not even in the game." Jasmine said. "Ezekiel cares about the game."
"She also seems to want out of the game. She threw the challenge." Cameron explained. "When Laurie said she lost the stick, she barely cared."
"Best to honor her wishes." Damien noted. "No point in keeping someone who doesn't even want to be here."
Meanwhile Millie was writing in a journal and Beth looked over "Ooh what are you writing Millie?" Beth asked.
"Nothing, nothing important at least. It's like a uh, diary." Millie defensively said.
"Ooh if it is a diary, no one should look into it. Remember the last time someone's diary was outed." Geoff said as Millie and Damien looked confused. "Heather on Team Amazon read Gwen's diary on one of the challenges."
"I agree Geoff, and Millie, that is still so cool to bring your own journal and diary." Beth noted as Millie breathed a sigh of relief. However, Cameron noticed Millie's reaction and was now curious.
"Look, I am voting for Ezekiel, he will lead this team to destruction. I promise." Harold said, walking away, annoyed that his teammates were annoyed.
Confessional- Cameron
"I get where Harold is coming from. Ezekiel is not the brightest, but he still gave it his all and Laurie didn't. Besides Ezekiel intrigues me. Not to mention Millie and her journal, she seemed way too secretive for that to mean nothing. This whole game is fascinating to me."
Team Style's Ceremony
Chef was shown with a plateful of marshmallows "Attention you bunch of sissies. I have to handle your team loses so when I call your name, I will throw out a marshmallow. In order to vote head to the booth and stamp the name of the person you want out. Simple as that. Noah you're up first."
Confessional- Noah
"Dead weight pure and simple."
Confessional- Trent
"Man, this is tough. I don't think it's me though."
Confessional- Alejandro
"Most expendable. The first to go down and many more will follow."
Back To Scene
Chef continued on "Alright the votes are in, safe with a marshmallow and not taking the drop of shame and no votes to boot are the following, Jo, Jen, Alejandro, Owen, Sky, you are all safe. Also, safe Trent, Julia, Brick, Noah, Duncan, Justin, Eva, Dave, all of you are safe. Now may the bottom 2 please stand up. Izzy you are on the chopping block for letting Team Amazon's camels in their boat, Lorenzo you are in the bottom 2 due to your poorly constructed raft. The final player safe tonight is…
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
….. Izzy"
Izzy cheered at this, gladly glomming onto the marshmallow. "Yummy"
"Lorenzo, you are officially eliminated from Total Drama World Race. Time for you to go, here's your parachute." Chef announced,
"Good luck you guys. I guess." Lorenzo said, taking the parachute and jumping off of the plane screaming.
"Eh I won't miss him." Bowie said and seemed like the majority of the team agreed.
Confessional- Noah
"At the end of the day Lorenzo was not someone I knew heading into this and I could never vote off Izzy and hurt Owen like that." Noah explained. "At least not this early in the game. I just hope my alliance isn't doomed and cutting the dead weight off the alliance doesn't hurt me."
Team Victory's Ceremony
Chris was now shown with Team Victory in the stand waiting to see who would get the boot. "It's vote time, up in the loser class bathroom you will find the passports of the person you want to eliminate."
"If Ezekiel didn't feed them to the crocs already like he wanted to with the stick." Harold said very angrily.
"Look, I messed up Harold, or H bomb or whatever. I am sorry. But I didn't cost us the challenge so back off." Ezekiel said angrily at Harold as both glared at each other.
"Whatever." Harold angrily said.
"Stamp the passport of the person you want to send home, get it Lindsay!?" Chris asked in particular to the dumb blonde.
"Don't worry I will get it." Lindsay said happily.
Confessional- Lindsay
"Sorry. (stamps a passport) "Ooh I should totally stamp myself. The ink matches my outfit." Lindsay said, stamping herself in the forehead.
Confessional- Harold
"Bye Ezekiel see you never, maybe this time you won't ruin my reputation." Harold said cryptically, confusing the television viewers.
Confessional- Ezekiel
"I don't know what bug crawled up Harold, but I still think it's you or me. Hope you understand, eh."
Back To Scene
"Marshmallows for the following people who will remain" Chris announced, "Starting off with Cameron, DJ, Leshawna, Bridgette, Shawn, Geoff, Brody" the latter two hugged each other in a tight bro hug.
"Yeah bro!" Geoff and Brody cheered out.
"Also safe are Lindsay and Tyler." Chris said throwing both of them a marshmallow as the two decided to make out since they were both safe. "Harold, Jasmine, Millie, Damien, and Beth are also safe with no votes."
"Ezekiel and Laurie, one of you is safe, the other is leaving. Laurie, you threw the stick in the air and lost it permanently ensuring a loss for your team, Ezekiel you are not popular with your teammates. The final marshmallow goes too…
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
….. Ezekiel." Chris announced as Leshawna turned her eyes to an angry Harold who glared at Zeke trying to control his bubbling anger at the homeschooler.
"Laurie, you are officially eliminated from Total Drama World Race, although you don't seem shocked." Chris noted.
"I'm not. I wanted out after I hit that bird earlier today. Hurting creatures and nature is not in me even by accident." Laurie noted, as she walked to the exit before looking back at her former teammates, "Good luck Team Victory. Stay strong and united. Bye." Laurie said, jumping out, strangely at peace with her game ending so soon.
"I hope she's happier without being here." Bridgette said.
"I think she will be." Millie said as the team internally agreed. "She wasn't meant to be here."
Confessional- Bridgette
"As tempting as it can be to send Ezekiel home since no one really likes him. He didn't mess up the challenge." Bridgette explained. "Laurie's head was just not in the game. Very nice girl and she and I are similar, but this game just isn't for her."
Confessional- Alejandro
"Losing Lorenzo today? Eh tragic. But I still have the upper hand. No one knows anything about me, and I intend to keep it that way as Heather is a saint compared to me."
48th- Lorenzo (Team Style, 15-1 vote)
47th- Laurie (Team Victory, 14-2 vote)
Votes
Lorenzo- 15 (Owen, Noah, Justin, Bowie, Jen, Trent, Jo, Sky, Dave, Izzy, Alejandro, Duncan, Brick, Eva, Julia)
Izzy- 1 (Lorenzo)
Laurie- 14 (Lindsay, Tyler, Damien, Bridgette, Geoff, Brody, Millie, Leshawna, Shawn, Jasmine, Beth, DJ, Cameron, Ezekiel)
Ezekiel- 2 (Harold, Laurie)
Notes:
So, the first two boots are Lorenzo and Laurie as I didn't have much plot for them, and I was never going to do Feral Zeke or really feral anything as Ezekiel also has some plot as well, so I had to cut fodder.
For Lorenzo, I wanted him to be part of Noah's alliance, have some quick confidence and just as quick of a boot. Beyond that nothing more as I couldn't figure where else to go with him.
For Laurie, I liked having her have the DJ animal curse plot but unlike DJ she pretty much gives up at the first chance to get away from this curse and that will overall mark the end of the curse in general, even if said animals will still appear.
As for some of the other changes, I didn't exactly love the scarab scene in canon, especially since an intern dies and the contestants are literally seconds, away from death, so that also meant changing the musical number to my own original idea which I admit wasn't easy but I think I did an okay job.
Also, with no team swap I wanted to have more character interactions with the boat building.
Next chapter will be the Japan episode with the same canon challenges (Pinball then teams making their own commercial) and an elimination that may surprise you.
Hope you enjoy this chapter and please leave a review or share this story, any feedback and exposure is welcomed. Until next time. Bye!
Chapter 4: Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan

Egos clash on one team leading to someone else stepping up to the plate, while a new alliance takes shape. For the losing team, another one is sent home, in the first blindside of the season for some of the contestants.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Super Happy Crazy Fun Time Japan
Recap
Chris began the episode in first class recapping with Blaineley right next to him, "Last time on Total Drama World Race, Egypt land of pyramids, land of hot and sweaty." Chris began
"Land of hot bodies too." Blaineley said as Chris raised his eyebrows at that "Anyways, our contestants had fun in the sun with Team Amazon having a come from behind victory."
"Alliances were formed. Feuds were starting and in the end Lorenzo's horrible raft ensured Team Style last place and the team cut him loose, meanwhile on Team Victory it was anything but as Laurie accidentally hurt a bird and this began her spiral into wanting to get eliminated from the competition. That girl was not cut out for this show at all." Chris explained.
"On tonight's episode, who's gonna sing, who's gonna dance-" Blaineley began before Chris interrupted.
"Hopefully not Leshawna." Chris joked.
"True that, and who will sell their allies out to keep their own butt in the game. Stay tuned as we continue marching on, right here on Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley announced.
"It still doesn't roll off the tongue." Chris said as the camera faded out.
Theme Song
Dear Mom and Dad I'm Doing Fine
The theme song immediately begins showing Owen underwater swimming while Noah and Cameron look on in disgust underwater pointing to Owen's lack of swimsuit which makes Owen instantly cover up
You Guys Are On My Mind
The camera pans up to show Harold showing off his moves on top of a weaved boat while Dave and Leshawna look confused until a paddle is shown hitting Dave and Harold knocking them into the water while Leshawna glares as the camera pans to Duncan who is laughing at the situation.
You Asked Me What I Wanted To Be
Brick, Eva, Jo, Sky, and Courtney are shown paddling the boat with Jo and Sky glaring at each other with Sky also glaring at Duncan for what he did to Dave, while Brick looks enthusiastic and Eva has a neutral expression.
Now I Think The Answer Is Plain To See
The boat crashes into a raft holding Gwen, Ella, Kitty, and Mickey with Gwen looking resigned to her fate, Ella not seeming to mind while Mickey looks freaked out until Kitty gives him a pat on the back to try and calm him down.
I Wanna Be Famous
Duncan quickly tries to pull Gwen off the raft but Courtney stops and glares at him as the camera flashes to the next scene.
I Wanna Live Close To The Sun
Alejandro and Bowie are shown helping Heather and Julia up the Statue of Liberty with Justin glaring at Alejandro while Bowie tries to push Julia back down but she moves out of the way as Justin helps Bowie from falling to the ground.
Well Pack Your Bags Cause I Already Won
Tyler and Chase are shown pushing carriages containing Cody and Emma respectively as the latter two look on in fear but Ezekiel trips Tyler and Shawn trips Chase causing both Emma and Cody to go freefalling out of the sky while Jasmine looks on in worry.
Everything To Prove Nothing In My Way
Cody and Emma land in Sierra's arms with Sierra tossing Emma to the snow on her head with ease and then giving Cody a huge hug much to his discomfort. Lindsay is then shown a picture of Tyler, confused about it as Beth, Sadie, and Katie try to explain who he is before a bear shows up scaring all of them and making them run away.
Cause I Wanna Be Famous
The person shown in the bear is Izzy who laughs, while Millie is shown writing in her notebook, Laurie winces at the sight, and Scott laughs as well about the whole thing until a seal comes and bites Izzy's hands making all of them run away.
Na Na Na Na Na
Geoff, Brody, and Bridgette are shown surfing really well, while Damien, DJ, and Lorenzo are shown struggling, causing all 6 to pile up soon after.
Na Na Na Na Na
On a street in presumably Europe, Trent and Jen are shown dancing on the road enjoying the moment, same with Zoey and Topher until Anne-Maria tries to grab on to Topher confusing him and making Zoey glare, however all 5 stop when the jumbo jet comes near the ground making all 5 duck for cover.
I Wanna Be I Wanna Be I Wanna Be Famous
All of the cast is shown falling out of the sky with parachutes with Sierra holding onto Cody as Cody looks worried and notices Mickey looking worried at the ground.
I Wanna Be I Wanna Be I Wanna Be Famous
The cast begins hitting the ground with most doing well until Mickey does poorly on the landing and Ezekiel hits the ground hard.
(Whistling)
Noah is shown looking worried at Ezekiel and Mickey's bad dismount before the theme song and intro cuts.
(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
Both Team Victory and Team Style were sitting on the plane, unfortunately Economy class was less than ideal for all of them as the plane felt oddly bumpy. Owen however was having it the worst "I'm too young to die, I wanna get off this plane!" Owen screamed in fear.
Noah, who was reeling from having to eliminate a potential ally in Lorenzo and now had his best friend screaming his lungs out, decided to at least try and calm his buddy down, "Relax big guy. Airplane travel is one of the safest modes of travel, unless you are in a death trap." Noah stated, unfortunately for him the makeshift hole in the economy section popped open "This one for example."
Bridgette meanwhile was losing her grip on the economy bench "I can't die this way!" she screamed out and right before Geoff was going to pick her up, Alejandro swooped in and did it himself.
"Such beauty shouldn't be sent freefalling out of this plane." Alejandro confidently stated further making Bridgette blush.
Confessional- Geoff
"That should've been me holding Bridgette, and instead she grabs onto another guy. Maybe it's just a one-off thing, maybe she wants to move on? Nah. Everything's fine." (eye twitches)
Back To Scene
Owen was still screaming his lungs out; made worse by the fact his seat belt was breaking apart due to his weight. Before Owen could react to his seat belt tearing, he was blown right into the hole which Owen found very uncomfortable to say the least. "Ow, I'm in so much pain!" Owen yelled out.
"I should've been there for Bridgette, Should I get her attention?" Geoff asked DJ who had a look indicating he was shocked that Geoff was even asking that as Geoff walked over to the couple, "Hey Bridge, remember me?".
"Oh yeah, sorry Alejandro, that was nice, but I have a boyfriend." Bridgette said defensively as she and Geoff walked away.
"Not that this isn't probably fascinating for you guys, but can someone help me, my ass is getting sucked out of a plane!" Owen yelled out, As Owen did yell that out Izzy walked over Owen and gave him a kiss "That works too." as Noah had an amused look on his face.
"I love my Big O." Izzy said as she went back to kissing Owen.
"They are so frustrating." Noah told himself, watching the two kiss.
"They are also very gross." Dave said, with Eva agreeing with him as she nodded her head.
Confessional- Brody
"Man dudes, seeing my buddy Geoff down is not fun."
Confessional- Noah
"Owen and Izzy are two of my closest allies in the game, seeing them making out and kissing is having me concerned that they are putting a target on their backs, like Geoff and Bridgette did last season. I already lost one alliance member; I don't want to lose another."
First Class
Courtney, Gwen, and Heather were all sitting on one part of the first-class area as Courtney was done sipping a drink as she began to give a speech "I happen to like winning and first class so I should be the leader of this team. Which we all need."
Gwen however rolled her eyes "If our team needed one which we don't because we are winning, besides, everyone's opinion should be valued." Gwen stated before looking directly across from Heather "Okay almost everyone."
Heather herself rolled her eyes "Shove off Gwen. Also, Courtney the world doesn't revolve around you, there's also my friend Sierra. She could be a better leader than you."
"Uh Heather, your friend Sierra is going through Cody's stuff like a starving raccoon goes through a dumpster." Courtney noted.
"I think his shoelace went up her nose, someone get me a barf bag!" Gwen said, walking away to the nearest bathroom.
Heather then came up with an idea, "Well how about I offer a deal Courtney?"
"You already know I would never join an alliance with you." Courtney said quickly.
"An alliance with you? As if. No what I was thinking was this, you, me and Gwen, all hate each other so none of us should be the leader of this team. The person who is the leader should unite the team together and be well liked." Heather began to explain.
"What's your point?" Courtney asked impatiently.
"I will see who on the team makes the best leader that isn't us." Heather told Courtney.
"That's fine, on one condition you have until we lose our first challenge to find someone you think would be a good leader, if not. I take over for the team. Deal?" Courtney asked.
"Deal." Heather said, reaching her hand out.
"Oh, and Sierra is out of the question." Courtney explained as Heather rolled her eyes.
"She was never in serious contention, just so you know." Heather stated.
Suddenly the intercom came on with Blaineley's voice, "This is your hostess with the most speaking, it's time for everyone to meet me in the common area." Blaineley announced.
"We do mean everyone just for your information." Chris also stated.
"Guess it's time for Chris to torture us." Scott said, looking at his teammates as he walked up to Courtney and Heather, winking at the former.
"Chris is like the greatest host ever though." Sierra said excitedly. "I'm excited!"
"I'm not." Scott said in annoyance at Sierra's glee.
"I agree with Scott." Courtney noted as she stood up and the camera flashed away.
Common Area
All of the 46 remaining contestants were sitting or standing in the common area as Blaineley and Chris stood together as Chris began "Welcome to today's challenge it's-" Chris began before Harold interrupted him.
"Is it a single or double elimination, also is there a reward?" Harold asked.
"Great question Harold, and as if we would tell you. That's the one area where we don't have to reveal it." Chris explained.
"There's still 46 of us left, no way it is only reward, eh." Damien explained.
"Yeah, the math wouldn't make sense." Noah explained.
"I like to think it would be a single elimination; a reward would be nice though." Trent lamented.
"Wherever we go, I hope I have enough time to shop and add more to my fashion blog as a reward." Jen said, reminiscing about her blog she couldn't work on while traveling.
"Ooh if it's a reward added to this, I hope it's shoes, or candy or maybe shoes made out of candy." Lindsay blissfully said as the camera panned to Cody.
"I would love candy right now, even in shoe form." Cody said, sounding hungry despite being in first class earlier that day.
"I hope you all bought your giant radioactive repellant as we are landing in Japan." Blaineley said as Chef was shown busting down the doors in an outfit, "Wait, if all 3 of us are here, who's managing the plane?"
"Don't worry, I got it covered." Chef stated as the camera flashed to a dummy in the pilot compartment before flashing back.
"Gosh, that is a Chinese outfit, not a Japanese outfit, cultural insensitivity much. It's-" Harold began to say until Shawn put a hand over his mouth.
"Dude, be quiet, Chef has a katana sword, and he could use that on that door over there" Shawn stated, pointing to a potential exit that would send them free falling out of the sky if it was temporarily gone.
"Fine, but I know I'm right." Harold said as he rolled his eyes.
"It doesn't matter." Shawn said as he glared at Harold's bratty behavior.
"Anyways, we will land in Japan in the next ten minutes, so everyone needs to head down to the cargo hold for the drop-off zone." Chris stated as he walked away and soon everyone was walking in different directions with everyone sans the host heading for the cargo hold.
Confessional- Jo
"I may not be able to lead this team due to Alejandro, stupid Latin boy. But I could lead an alliance in this team and maybe eventually overthrow that guy. This is a numbers game."
Right Outside Bathroom
Sky was shown walking by herself about to make sure she had everything as Jo was shown from behind "Yo, Olympian."
"Gah! Jo don't scare me." Sky said.
"Don't be so easy to scare, look, the game is starting to pick up and I was wondering if you wanted to work together in an alliance." Jo asked Sky.
"Sure, that'd be great. But we need more members than just us two, who else did you have in mind?" Sky asked.
"Well, what I was thinking, was having a mini girl alliance with our team being so male dominated. So, I was thinking of Julia and Jen to add to the alliance." Jo explained. "I'll get Julia and can you convince Jen."
"No problem, what about Izzy and Eva?" Sky asked.
"I don't want all the girls on our team in this group, and if there are ever rumblings of this girl alliance, we throw either of them to the wolves to disprove the notion that the girls are working together." Jo further explained.
"Sounds like a plan." Sky said as the two of them went closer to the cargo hold. "Even if Eva could take the wolves herself." That joke did make Jo laugh.
The camera then panned over to Noah, Owen, and Izzy with the latter two walking while making out as Noah sighed as he decided to speak up "Guys you can't be spending the whole challenge making out and acting like Geoff and Bridgette during last season."
"I know but Big O and I go together like fireworks and fourth of July." Izzy said happily. "Boom boom."
"Awe, and that's why I love you Izzy." Owen said as the two kissed.
"Can you guys at least promise to not make out until after the challenge is over. We already lost Lorenzo; we don't need to lose any more team members." Noah said as Owen and Izzy walked away a bit sad as Eva walked up to Noah. "Am I wrong for not wanting to deal with their constant sucking of face?"
"No, you're not. They are all mushy and it's annoying. Let's just hope we don't lose another challenge and have to worry about them or ourselves." Eva said as both walked away.
Beginning Of The Cargo Hold
Members of Team Amazon were making their way down to the cargo hold after moving their stuff out of first class. The camera panned over to Zoey who had just walked down the steps as Topher walked by, before she could say something though. Heather grabbed her hand and pulled her to the side. "Woah, hey." Zoey called out.
"Uh, Zoey is it. Do you mind if I talk to you?" Heather asked.
"Sure, Heather, what's up?" Zoey asked as both girls walked further into the cargo hold.
"Look I was just wondering if you were interested in being leader of this team, every good team needs the leader and since I am not allowed to, I was wondering if you wanted too?" Heather asked.
"Oh thanks, Heather, I am flattered, trust me I really am. But I don't think I could lead this team with how many big personalities we have, I hope you understand though." Zoey explained cheerfully as Heather moaned walking away as she saw Courtney have a huge grin on her face.
"Awe, did that pathetic attempt at flattery not work since you have no heart or soul?" Courtney mockingly asked.
"Shut up. She's not your friend either!" Heather said angrily at Courtney storming away. The camera then panned over to Cody, Mickey, and Kitty who were entering the cargo hold.
"Ooh this is so exciting; I have never been to Japan before! But some of my favorite video games originated from there." Kitty excitedly claimed.
"You play video games? My parents told me growing up girls tend to focus on makeup and girly stuff." Mickey told both of them stunning both of Kitty and Cody.
"Yeah, I do that stuff, but girls can do more than that stuff. Do either of you guys play video games?" Kitty asked, but before she could continue, the PA announcer went off with Chris' voice.
"Report to the cargo hold in 2 minutes for drop off." Chris announced as the camera panned to Cameron and Millie.
"Oh, I am so excited, I have read up about Japan and what people like and get into." Cameron stated excitedly as he noticed Millie was lost in her small journal. "What are you doing Millie?"
"Nothing, just writing in my journal. Just enjoying life." Millie said defensively.
Confessional- Cameron
"I could tell it wasn't just any writing, but what could it be that made Millie so defensive?"
Pre-Challenge
All 46 contestants were standing in the cargo hold with Harold still looking angry "The cultural insensitivity from Chef, Chris, and Blaineley is just sickening."
Blaineley's voice came on the speaker as soon as Harold said it "On that note Harold, happy landings everyone."
The contestants were shown falling from 10 feet in the sky into a giant rice container, luckily besides a few people being a bit dizzy from the unexpected fall there were no injuries, Harold though was most excited "Japan! Yes! I know everything about this place."
Soon at that moment Jasmine and Leshawna both popped out of the rice "What you know mate, just sent us freefalling out of the sky." Jasmine protested.
"Yeah Harold, that wasn't smart." Damien said, popping out of the rice. "We could have died!"
"We could have, but we didn't so what does it matter?" Harold said defensively.
"Sorry that I value my own life more than you." Damien argued back.
"I don't know, I liked the thrill of falling out of the sky even if it wasn't very high, eh." Ezekiel said as he joined the scene as Harold rolled his eyes, annoyed that Ezekiel was the only person defending him. "Was it something I said, eh?"
"They could've been planning to do that from the start." Harold said defensively. "Besides, I went to Sensei Steve's Feudal Japanese Summer Camp." Harold exclaimed.
"Oh yeah." Alejandro said, popping out of the rice, "I know Japanese too, like if I wanted to, I could say Leshawna is as beautiful as a flower in that language." Alejandro boasted.
"Thank. You." Leshawna said awkwardly as she looked awkwardly between Harold and Alejandro.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Huh, I figured my flirting with Leshawna would have worked as she looked at me dreamily in Egypt? Odd. She will eventually be my pawn though, just you wait. But maybe I need a different target instead?"
Confessional- Leshawna
"It's odd, normally I would be all over guys like Justin and especially Alejandro. I mean have you seen that man he is fine as can be. Yet all I can think about is Harold and that stupid awkward kiss last challenge. Maybe this challenge will help me get my mind off of him. I hope so."
Pinball Studio
All of the contestants and Chris along with Blaineley were right on the outside of their first challenge as Chris began "Okay, first challenge is inside a Japanese game show studio."
"Bow down before Super Mega Pinball smash." Blaineley proudly announced. When Cameron, Tyler, and Harold heard this, they all gave each other a group high five.
"Dudes, I love Japanese game shows," Tyler proudly announced, "Besides sports it's one of the things I know very well."
"He doesn't seem like the type." Bowie said, stunned that Tyler liked that.
"Agreed." Justin said. "He never said anything about this at the loser resort Season 1."
"The more you know people, the more you find out I guess." Bowie said back.
Harold continued on "My favorite is Human Itchi My Car Go-Go where you have to throw a banana into a-" Harold narrated as Tyler and Cameron both finished.
"Car window using a giant shrimp fork which is fun!" Cameron and Tyler said at the same time, before they could go on though Blaineley hit a gong to shut them up.
"Oh, look a geek gong. Now zip it." Chris said impatiently. "Blaineley care to explain the first part of the challenge"
"No problem. Here's how this works, each team has 3 balls that are color coded with your team's colors, Amazon's are pink, Style is blue, and Victory is yellow, the remaining 10 members will scatter around the pinball stadium helping to move any of the 3 balls with the remaining team members in play hitting bumpers and points assigned to the colors. Oh, and the last ball will be a member of your team with a panda bear." Blaineley explained.
"Now since Team Amazon has one extra member, we pulled a name out of a hat for who won't be helping in the first part of the challenge in any regard, and that person is…. Heather." Chris said excitedly. "Now for who are in the balls as duos and who is in it with the panda bear, Team Victory the duos are Geoff and DJ, Cameron and Damien, and the person with the panda is Beth." Chris told Team Victory.
"Aw sweet dude!" Geoff and Brody cheered as they high five each other.
"After Laurie's whole ordeal with animals I have to imagine mine will be better I hope." Beth nervously said as she approached the panda for her team. "Hi there little one." Unfortunately for Beth the panda was already agitated and was now starting to beat her up.
"For Team Style, your duos are Jo and Julia in one ball, Owen and Izzy in another, and lastly the one holding the panda will be Alejandro." Blaineley told them.
"Thank goodness, I am allergic to panda dander, I get hives." Noah said nervously.
"That makes two of us." Tyler raised his hand happily that his team didn't have him with the panda.
"He's lying." Justin whispered to Bowie, who nodded in response.
"Three and four." Mickey said before noticing Cody was allergic to that as well.
"Just mildly allergic, nothing fatal." Cody explained.
"Mine is fatal, I think." Mickey said as Cody wanted to ask him more.
"Finally, Team Amazon, the couples are Cody and Sierra, Emma and Chase, and riding solo with the panda is Zoey. Teams who aren't going in the giant hamster wheels, you have 2 minutes to come up with a strategy as for the rest of you, get in the ball whether it be as a duo or with an animal buddy" Blaineley told them.
Confessional- Heather
"On the one hand, sitting out of this challenge is annoying, because I can't prove my worth to my team. On the other hand, this could give me a good idea of which allies I can scope out, who can lead this team that isn't Courtney, and to shut her up."
Confessional- Emma
"Ugh I have to be partnered with my ex-boyfriend Chase?! Seriously, the universe must hate me."
Confessional- Eva
"Of course, Noah and I don't want Owen and Izzy to get all making out and be romantic, and what does Chris do. Force those two idiots into a giant hamster ball by themselves."
Pre-Challenge
"Okay guys" Harold said pulling his team together, "Everybody should be in a duo and scatter across the board, I was thinking Leshawna, and I go together. Lindsay and Tyler are a duo, Brody and Bridgette, Jasmine and Shawn, and lastly Millie with Ezekiel unfortunately." Harold said as each duo walked to one of the areas of the pinball board.
"I have to say that was very smart of Harold to think of that, eh." Ezekiel said as he and Millie walked to the top of the pinball machine.
"Yeah, it is, but did you notice him saying it was unfortunate that you and I are in the same group?" Millie asked.
"No, I didn't, he must've misspoken." Ezekiel said blissfully unaware of Harold's true feelings towards the homeschooled guy.
Elsewhere Alejandro was looking at the stadium 'Okay Team Style listen up, the main points are the bumpers, get five of you guys on a bumper. Me and Tsing Tsing are going in. Get in position."
Justin spoke up "You heard the guy move, five of us on one bumper five of us on the other."
"Okay, me, Eva, Dave, Trent, and Jen take the first one, the rest of you guys take the second one." Noah proudly stated wanting to make sure all of his allies were together along with Trent and Jen, two people he didn't immediately find annoying right off the back.
Unfortunately for Team Amazon however, they had no sense of direction for this challenge as everyone went to do their own things, as the camera panned to Courtney talking with Ella, Kitty, and Mickey or more so Ella as Kitty and Mickey looked at Cody in concern as he entered the pinball with Sierra.
"I hope he's okay." Kitty said as Mickey shook his head in agreement.
"He looks scared out of his mind." Mickey said as he and Kitty paid attention to Courtney afterwards.
"You guys are going to have to push the paddles at the bottom just right." Courtney stated but she looked around "Wait, where is the rest of the team?"
Elsewhere Anne-Maria was looking dreamily at Topher, while Katie and Sadie were shown admiring Alejandro for his looks. But oddly enough in another section of the pinball machine, Gwen was standing by herself as she was thinking maybe her and Duncan could talk, instead much to her confusion Scott showed up. "What do you want Scott?" Gwen asked.
"How's it going Gwen, is it?" Scott said, walking up to her. "I just want to talk."
"Yes, what's it to you Scott, and don't try and sweet talk me, I am not interested." Gwen stated harshly.
"I am not interested either in that sense, I just wanted to talk to you." Scott said, walking closer.
"Why, because in the few days I have known you Scott, you come across as one of the more scheming players and just focused on the game 24/7." Gwen noted.
"I mean we are all playing a game at the end of the day, I just wanted to open up a game relationship between-" Scott stated.
"I am going to stop you right there; I just told you I am not interested." Gwen once again said.
"No, a game relationship where we can talk and have each other's backs in this game. Besides, look at our team, who can you trust?" Scott told Gwen harshly at the end.
"That's nonsense, I can trust plenty of people. I just choose not to." Gwen said, offended.
"Really, well let's go through everyone here on this team and stop me when I am wrong about someone. Heather, you wouldn't even trust her to make you a cup of seltzer water you probably feel like she would poison that. You hate Courtney after everything that went down on the aftermath last season not to mention the first challenge, you find Katie, and Sadie annoying along with Sierra, Anne-Maria you find shallow already, same with Topher, at best Mickey reminds you of a younger brother, Ella annoys you with her singing as does me. Chase and Emma are volatile. So, who does that leave Gwen if you don't mind me asking?" Scott said confidently.
'Well, there's Zoey and Cody." Gwen said, realizing deep down everything Scott said was right about the others on her team.
"Yeah Cody, the guy who won't take a hint from you. I don't understand why you didn't tell him to go away in Egypt. Unless you feel another way towards-" Scott said before getting interrupted.
'No, I look at him as a friend and solely a friend." Gwen said quickly and in a tone that was clearly pissed off.
"Then why don't you follow your own advice and give him the truth." Scott said.
"Why Scott, what's your motive with me here, shouldn't you be making love eyes at Courtney. Yeah, I saw the way you looked at her in Egypt." Gwen noted before realizing she went too far accusing him of that. "Can we just pause this conversation and come back to it? Pause?" Gwen asked.
"Pause." Scott said angrily, walking away and up to Courtney.
Confessional- Gwen
"Look if Scott has my back in this game, that's great but he is just shady. I don't trust him. But should I be honest with Cody, so I don't have Sierra breathing down my neck and not have a repeat of Season 1?"
Confessional- Scott
"Gwen throwing that I liked Courtney was not something I suspected out of her... I don't, she has a boyfriend, and I am not a homewrecker, in that sense. I'm not!"
Pinball Challenge
"It's human pinball time." Chris announced.
Chef soon in a geisha outfit lifted a lever that sent the 9 balls scattered around the area.
For Team Victory, things got off to a rough start as Beth's panda began attacking her in the ball which made her lose focus really quickly and spin massively out of control ramming right into Jasmine and Shawn within seconds and preventing them from pushing the ball back "Don't push Beth's ball she is out of control!" Jasmine yelled out.
Luckily for Team Victory, Damien and Cameron, despite neither being physically strong, had solid precision with their balls due to Cameron riding on Damien piggyback style. "We make a good team!" Cameron cheered excitedly, "Aim right for Tyler and Lindsay slowly and they should be able to give us a nice boost."
DJ and Geoff also had an easy time for a while until DJ tripped which began making their ball spin out of control, leading to them hitting Bridgette and Brody away. "Sorry!" DJ yelled out.
Brody decided to lift Bridgette up after the hard encounter as she looked at the ball Geoff was in and sighed, "Hey Bridgette, if you don't mind me asking, what's wrong?"
"It's, it's nothing." Bridgette said, looking away.
"Come on, I am not the brightest person, but I can tell something's bugging you, so what's wrong?" Brody asked again.
"It's just Geoff. We are focusing on this game, this time around and it makes me wonder if I like Geoff. I know he's your best friend so maybe I shouldn't tell you this." Bridgette began to explain.
"No, no it's fine. Look, whenever Geoff and I talk he is absolutely crazy about you. Just know that he and I don't know a lot, but we do know one thing is that if you love a woman, you don't let her go and he loves you so much." Brody stated.
"Thanks." Bridgette said, as she looked at the course. "Glad I am not in there; I have horrible balance."
Elsewhere on Team Style things were going solid, for Owen and Izzy they kept on making out in their ball but due to Owen's girth it did cause their ball to slow down somewhat which allowed his teammates to anticipate when to hit the bumpers. For Jo and Julia meanwhile Jo's athletic ability allowed her to keep her team's ball at a constant speed.
"So, I was wondering, tree lover, some of the ladies are coming together to work together, and I was wondering if you-" Jo began to state until Julia interrupted.
"I am in. Don't worry about me. I will stay true to the girls." Julia said as Jo looked on in astonishment,
Finally for Team Style you had Alejandro's, and his panda Tsing Tsing were having a good time in their hamster ball as Alejandro kept hitting the score board perfectly.
Lastly for Team Amazon their disastrous challenge run continued as none of their pinballs were doing well, on top of horrible coordination from the others. Sierra kept grabbing onto Cody, especially when they were sent into the middle which was the launch pad. "HOLD ME!" Sierra yelled out and since Sierra was much bigger Cody didn't have much of a chance to object.
Chase and Emma's pinball wasn't faring much better as Chase went to Emma "Do you wanna make out with me babe." Chase asked.
Emma however wasn't impressed "Only if you get your mouth cleaned with a drinking fountain nearby that the locals use, I am sure of it. Besides the very thought of making out with you makes me-" Emma began to say but she had talked herself into throwing up after that. "Get me out of here!" Unfortunately, by that time their ball had sped way out of control.
As the challenge continued, the first hamster ball that came out was Sierra and an exhausted Cody, "If we had a dollar for every time she kissed me in there-" Cody lamented as Mickey and Kitty both walked up.
"We'd be millionaires!" Sierra excitedly said.
"Hey Cody, not to alarm you buddy, but you have something purple in your ear." Mickey noted, fearing it would be something gross.
"Purple, what could be purple in my" Cody began to say fishing in his left ear until he saw what looked like Sierra's gum "Uh Mickey get me a bucket."
"Bucket?" Mickey asked.
"Bucket!" Cody yelled out as Kitty watched on in horror as both Cody and Mickey ran to the nearest bathroom as both wanted to puke, Cody due to Sierra putting gum in his ear, and Mickey for seeing that in person, soon after Chase and Emma came out as well both smelling like barf with Emma running away trying not to vomit herself anymore.
"She'll come around." Chase boasted. "Emma wants me back."
"No, she won't." Kitty said in response. "She hates you."
"Oh, come on, no one can resist me." Chase boasted in a flirty tone, as Kitty looked disgusted.
"Delusional." Kitty told herself.
Beth was shown exiting her hamster ball next showing a bandaged-up panda in her hands as she cried "Someone get a medic, stat!"
Confessional- Beth
"I cannot believe I hurt a cute baby panda like that, I figured once Laurie left no more animals would be hurt." Beth said tearfully.
End Of First Challenge
The next people out of the hamster were Owen and Izzy who had just as many kiss marks as Cody but seemed excited "Izzy wants to go again, that was fast and loose, the way Izzy likes it."
Zoey was the next one out as luckily for her, her panda wasn't hurt "Thank you, you cute little panda bear. How about a hug from Zoey here?" Zoey asked, which made many people awe at the sight.
"That is so adorable." Topher said.
Finally, the remaining balls of DJ and Geoff along with Jo and Julia, and lastly Cameron and Damien came out with no scratches between them as each duo high fived each other at their success.
It would take another 10 minutes before Alejandro was done with his panda "I believe my team has scored the highest." Alejandro confidently said.
"That you have Alejandro, Team Style takes first with a score of 765,000. Team Victory comes in second with 435,000 points and Team Amazon thanks to Zoey you guys didn't completely suck, with 49,000. Still pathetic." Chris said happily.
"Stay tuned for the after the break to see the advantage Team Style gets in the second part of today's challenge. On Total Drama World Race."
Before The Second Challenge
Everyone had made it back to First Class to watch a promo for Total Drama Action in Japan with English dubbed actors for Izzy and Owen as Noah spoke for everyone when the commercial finished.
"What the hell was that?" Noah asked.
"I don't mind. I got to be a star again." Izzy exclaimed cheerfully.
"Same here, even with you being with that monster Izzy" Owen said playfully.
"It's okay Big O. You always have me now." Izzy said as she and Owen made out again.
"Seriously?" Dave asked as he was sitting right next to them.
"That cinema gold is the Japanese material, Total Drama is huge here, not as big as say Pokémon." Chris explained as Cody was shown silently cheering at the news.
"But it's still very popular here. As for why your voices were dubbed. We don't know." Blaineley said.
"It was an English dub, if it was Japanese I would understand but I don't get it." Damien explained, confused.
"I guess the Japanese don't like the sounds of you guys. Sorry." Chris said.
"No, you're not." Courtney scowled.
"True. Ready for the second half of today's challenge, I hope you paid attention because you will be writing, directing, and producing your very own Japanese commercial." Chris said, excited about the second challenge.
"With fish tails courtesy of Chef as the product." Blaineley told.
"Then why are we sending them to the general public, Chef can't cook very well." Duncan protested.
Chef however was growing impatient, "You two said we were gonna pay a real Tokyo ad firm, and Duncan, I could cook you under the table if I really wanted to."
"Come on Chef. I never claimed to be a good cook." Duncan said as he raised his hands in defense.
"Oops we did, didn't we." Blaineley said with a snide smile.
"As props you guys can use anything in the airplane storage area, Team Style goes first, followed by Victory, and lastly Amazon gets whatever is left." Chris announced.
Storage Area
"I didn't even realize this plane had a storage area." Trent said, looking around. "What do you say Al?"
"I see a tiny village and a giant monster." Alejandro said as Owen and Izzy walked up.
"Ooh Izzy thinks Owen should be the monster, he's already the monster in more ways than one." Izzy said which made everyone wince.
"Gross, I don't need to know about your love life." Justin said in disgust.
"Al, you're a genius. Ooh and Izzy can play the damsel in distress. This is great." Owen said as he and Izzy then began making out again.
"What does the rest of the team think?" Alejandro asked ignoring him.
"Sir, I don't think the team opposes sir, also it will be so cool to act like a cadet again" Brick exclaimed.
As Team Style was getting their supplies, Alejandro stopped by to give a certain member and a hopeful future victim a pep talk. "Good luck honorable opponent." Alejandro said to Harold.
Harold however was offended, "I don't need your luck."
Alejandro realized he could hype Harold's ego up, and if lucky send him home tonight as he saw it very likely the moment Harold left, Leshawna would be so much easier to manipulate "Of course, your team is lucky to have you. You have superior leadership skills and vision; I am no match for you." Alejandro exclaimed, lying through his teeth.
"I know right, they are! I am such a good leader." Harold confidently said unaware of the trap Alejandro had placed. Not before the camera panned to Damien who raised an eyebrow.
Confessional- Damien
"Did you see that evil smirk Alejandro gave while talking to Harold? I've never seen Total Drama but something about Alejandro just feels like a snake oil salesman. I feel like I need to save Harold from destroying himself in the game."
Back To Scene
As Team Victory began looking for stuff, Lindsay spoke up, "I have an idea. I was at a Japanese restaurant, and I had Pad Thai-"
"Uh, Lindsay Pad Thai is just Thai. Nothing else." Beth whispered.
"Oh well I have no other ideas. Sorry" Lindsay explained.
"Fear not Lindsay, Leshawna, ladies, and men for I Harold, have a vision as me as an honorable warrior." Harold said as his team began looking for stuff.
However, Ezekiel decided that maybe what Millie said earlier was true and decided to propose his own idea "Wait guys, I have an idea eh."
Harold was however very annoyed "No we're going with my honorable warrior. It's gonna make people swoon."
"But won't Chris and Chef be the judges, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"We are not making a whole commercial dedicated to Chris after last season with the cheer for Chris. Still hate that. Ugh." Beth shivered.
"That and it would look like blatant sucking up." Millie further said.
"Well, one thing that is marketable is love. People love romance and lovey dovey stuff, eh." Ezekiel said. "We could incorporate a couple into the commercial,"
"That idea sounds ridiculous." Harold protested until Shawn put a hand over his lip.
"Dude shut up." Shawn sternly said.
"I like the sound of that. Could make it stand out more. But we need a couple, how about Geoff and Bridgette?" Shawn asked, looking over at Geoff.
Before Geoff could say something, Bridgette spoke up "Let's let Tyler and Lindsay do it. They are both newly in love with each other and probably have the passion."
"Yeah, we would!" Tyler said as he kissed Lindsay again.
"Look, let's try to mix both ideas together mate. With so many of us together, it could work." Jasmine said as Harold seemed to reluctantly agree putting his head in shame.
Confessional- Jasmine
"It's just, I didn't want Harold to get annoyed and thought it would be a good compromise. He still didn't take it well though."
Back To Scene
Team Amazon were the last ones to look at what they had, and things felt bleak to say the least.
"Our supplies are a rubber dummy chicken, a donut, fireworks, the fish tails themselves, some masks, a rock, a fish tank, and flashing lights." Cody noted.
"Does anyone have any ideas?" Heather asked.
"Hope it's a single elimination?" Katie answered meekly.
"We're doomed." Ella said as she looked at the supplies sadly.
With Team Style
Sky and Jen were shown putting parts of the tiny city together as Sky noticed no one was within earshot of them "Hey Jen" Sky asked quietly.
"Yeah, what's up?" Jen asked.
"I was just wondering if you wanted to work together and have each other's backs." Sky asked. "There's something brewing with a few of us on the team, specifically me, Jo, and hopefully Julia." Sky explained, hoping to gain another ally.
"So, a mini girls thing, are we allowed to look elsewhere for allies?" Jen asked before realizing how she phrased it. "I mean, this girl's thing sounds great, but I do think we shouldn't be seen together much."
Confessional- Jen
"That and Jo is a fashion nightmare, those sweatpants are a no go!"
Back To Scene
"I wouldn't see a problem with it." Sky said.
The camera also showed Noah and Eva setting up another part of the city until they were distracted by Owen "Owen stomp, good."
Noah walked right up to his best friend. "It's great Owen you're in character but let us go finish the tiny city first." Noah explained as he walked back to the city.
"Please don't have his dumbass cost the challenge today." Eva told herself.
The camera panned to Alejandro "We have to sponsor this food, surely Duncan is exaggerating, couldn't be too bad." Alejandro said, taking a bite of the candied fish tale. "Hey Justin."
"Yeah Alejandro," Justin said, walking up annoyed.
"Take control of the team, I have to go to the bathroom. Great, great, make way!" Alejandro yelled off puking off screen, before Justin could protest.
"Why he wants me to lead the team, I don't know. Besides, everyone has everything under control." Justin said before relaxing on a chair as the camera panned back to Eva and Noah.
"Ugh, he is so annoying." Noah said, bitterly staring at Justin.
"Who?" Eva asked before panning her eyes over to Justin. "Oh Mr. pretty boy. Why might I ask?"
"He has just always annoyed me. Am I wrong for wanting him to leave, besides Trent I guess, no one else feels attached to him after what he did in Season 2, and well he is an easy out." Noah explained.
"Would Owen be okay with it, aren't he and Justin close friends as well?" Eva asked.
"He wouldn't be thrilled but, I doubt if one of us were at the bottom he would eliminate us over Justin. Let's just hope we win the challenge." Noah said.
Team Amazon
"We have the candied fish swimming in the fish tank, then it breaks out and does basketball, like duh." Heather stated.
"I agree, it's simple and it should get the job done." Anne Maria also said.
"Heather, that is way too Dr. Seuss and you know it. Spinning masks, we throw candies into their mouths and then-" Gwen was beginning to say until Courtney interrupted her.
"Insane, flashing lights and fireworks ladies. Chef wants to be dazzled." Courtney stated holding both in her hands in pure excitement,
"Ooh I like fireworks" Katie said excitedly.
"Me too." Sadie noted.
"See, I even have their support." Courtney stated in an authoritarian tone, that rubbed many of her teammates the wrong way.
'Guys, come on. All of these ideas are great, and we can incorporate them together." Cody began to say.
"Overruled. Fish tanks," Heather angrily yelled.
"Hello, the only way we are winning is with spinning masks and lots of them." Gwen protested.
"Both of you are idiots about this. My idea is the best and as the leader of this team-" Courtney began to say until Heather interrupted.
"You are not the damn leader, so shut the hell up" Heather yelled back.
"Guys, please calm down." Kitty said, trying to step in. "We can work around this, and everyone can enjoy what they want."
"No, my idea's the best." Gwen said loudly, and soon all three of them were fighting while talking over each other with Anne Maria supporting Heather, Katie and Sadie supporting Courtney, but none of them could get a word in.
Confessional- Zoey
"Watching all of them fight, it just brought out some truly bad memories of mine and I just wanted it to stop. But finding my voice with all these big personalities is hard to do."
Back To Scene
Zoey was shown panicking and looked at the scene unfolding as Ella had a look of worry herself, Heather and Anne Maria were getting held back by Chase and Emma, Gwen was getting held back by Cody, Mickey, and Kitty, while Courtney was getting held back by Scott, and Sierra as Katie and Sadie kept looking at the fireworks and lights, trying to keep voicing their support for Courtney's idea. The scene was intense as each of the four girls were shown yelling at each other and were close to physical blows.
As Zoey and Ella watched on in horror, Topher was shown walking back to see what was going on and was bewildered. "Wait, they are still fighting? I figured they'd be done once I came back from the bathroom. It's been 20 minutes since they started fighting and we were supposed to start our commercial. Great for ratings, but they all keep arguing, and yelling, and holy shit." Topher said in bewilderment.
"Normally I would say we shouldn't swear but this is bad. Do we think Chris would help?" Ella asked.
"Nope." Zoey and Topher said at the same time, looking at each other awkwardly for a second as they watched the argument for another couple of minutes when finally, out of nowhere Zoey decided to put an end to it.
"Everyone be quiet!" Zoey yelled out, shocking herself and her teammates into being quiet. "Look, I don't want us fighting, but more importantly we need to get this challenge going." Zoey confidently said before feeling like she was gonna faint, luckily for her Topher took the lead from there.
"So, anyone who was arguing about any of the ideas proposed, get out and take a breather and let the rest of us take control of this challenge as we are getting nowhere right now. Unless we want to actively lose this challenge and be a complete bust" Topher said angrily with everyone shocked at his outburst as well.
"Well fine then, if no one wants to listen to my ideas. I will gladly leave. I am out of here." Courtney said angrily.
"I am out of here as well." Gwen and Heather said at the same time, as everyone realized they were all walking in the same direction.
"We should probably make sure someone stays with each one of them so those 3 don't fight." Zoey observed, "Anne Maria go with Heather, Scott you should stay with Courtney, and lastly Katie and Sadie, keep Gwen calm. Also, I am so sorry for yelling."
"You should be." Anne Maria said under her breath with no one hearing her as she, Scott, Katie, and Sadie left to make sure none of Gwen, Courtney, or Heather ended up in the hospital.
"We are in so much trouble if we lose tonight." Mickey lamented.
"I am sure we will be fine at the end; they just probably need to calm down. Okay everyone needs to grab one of the items we have a commercial to film.' Topher confidently claimed.
"Are we sure we can't have the whole team here?" Ella asked.
"No!" Cody and Kitty said at the same time before looking at each other awkwardly like Zoey and Topher did earlier.
"I'll just get started." Cody said walking away.
Team Victory
Harold was shown sitting on a horse, dressed as a Samurai with Bridgette and Geoff working on the rain for the commercial. "More rain, much more the tone has to be somberer." Harold cried out.
"Yes Harold." Bridgette said, rolling her eyes.
"It's sensei, call me sensei!" Harold snapped at Bridgette however Geoff who was right next to her, looked pretty angry.
"Hold on dude, you do not talk to my girlfriend like that, I don't care who you are. I wouldn't talk to Leshawna like that." Geoff said, getting in Harold's face.
"Well, it's not my fault that my idea has to be hijacked by a guy who knows nothing of Japan." Harold noted getting off the horse for a quick second to cool down and walked away.
"Bridge, do you have any clue what has Harold so ticked off at…. What's his name again?" Geoff asked.
"Ezekiel. No clue. I thought the two of them were friends, but Harold seems to hate him. Oh, and thank you for defending me against Harold, even though I could have handled it." Bridgette said sweetly.
"You know I would protect my girl." Geoff said sweetly. Before they could kiss for a little bit Chris walked up.
"I hope you guys know, you only have 5 minutes left to film your ad, then it's happy fish, whatever we will begin watching them in 10 minutes. So, hurry." Chris announced.
The camera panned over to Millie and Beth who were doing Lindsay and Tyler's makeup. "Wow Beth, you're really good at Lindsay's makeup." Millie noted.
"Last season, she and I would do makeovers any day we had off in between challenges. It was so much fun." Beth beamed in excitement. As Millie then started writing in her notebook.
"Interesting." Millie told herself.
"Guys places, we have to film this now!" Leshawna said getting Lindsay and Tyler on stage. "We don't have much time. Please universe give us a chance today."
Team Amazon
Cody was shown holding a camera as Emma was shown behind him with a bunch of signs that indicated a script. "You guys heard Chris, time to start filming." Cody said. "Just the rest of us, everyone in position?"
"Yes Cody!" Sierra said, staring intently at her crush while she held the fireworks, Mickey had the donut, Topher had the rubber animal, and Zoey was holding the lights.
"Okay, in 5, 4, 3, 2 and we are rolling." Cody announced.
"I am hoping for a miracle," Emma said quietly to herself.
"Same here." Cody said as he filmed.
First Class/End Of Challenge
The teams had all finished their videos, with Harold in his Samurai costume still, Owen in his monster outfit, while it was shown that over half of Team Amazon wasn't there as Courtney, Anne Maria, Gwen, and Heather were all glaring at each other.
"Hey Owen, we are done shooting the commercial, so you can take the monster suit off." Dave told Owen.
"Heh, I got all sweaty and it won't come off, that and Izzy has some ideas with me and the monster suit, so she wants me to keep it." Owen explained.
"Say no more." Dave said walking away in disgust.
"Alright contestants, now that you are done filming, it's time to see if your hard work has paid off. Chef?" Blaineley announced.
"No budget, no ad agency, rip off cheese ball cheese show." Chef grumbled.
"First up is Team Style with A Monster's Rampage" Chris announced
Team Style's Commercial
The commercial began with Owen in his monster outfit crushing the tiny 'buildings' "Roar, Owen smash, monster noises."
The camera also showed Izzy being held by the monster, but she was more looking at Owen "Ugh, he's so hot!" Izzy said as her and Owen began making out, again.
Off screen you could hear Dave say "That's not in the script! Focus!"
Alejandro, however, ignored the commotion "The large out of shape monster is destroying the city and has a hostage."
"We must evacuate." Brick yelled out.
"But, think of the children," Noah noted.
"Wow, they are really going at it." Justin said, noticing Owen and Izzy, getting the line wrong, "I mean. We have the secret weapon." he said trying to course correct.
"You're right, with this!" Jen said, walking on screen like it was a runway, with the candy fish tail. "Go down bad monster." Jen threw the candied fish tail at Owen's mouth but due to Izzy and Owen's kissing, it didn't go in.
"Ta-da?" Bowie and Trent said awkwardly on screen with each other as the commercial ended.
Back To First Class
Jo had a less than impressed look, "That was the best we could do?!" she shrieked.
"That was actually the best take we had." Dave noted as he glared at Izzy and Owen.
"How?!" Jo yelled in anger. "How was that the best take?"
Before Team Style could discuss the commercial more, the challenge continued on, "Next up is Team Victory with a Samurai's Gift" Chris announced.
Team Victory's Commercial
Harold was shown slowly riding a horse in the rain dressed as a samurai. With rain going down as well. The camera then panned to Jasmine, Leshawna, Bridgette, Ezekiel all standing in a row with Tyler and Lindsay on the ground acting like they were in pain.
"Oh, great samurai," Jasmine said out loud.
"Do you have food for us and this starving couple to rejuvenate their love?" Leshawna asked.
"Oh, the hunger, the hunger, the hunger!" Ezekiel and Bridgette lamented.
"Fear not, I have the answer. Happy Go Time Fish Tails" Harold proudly boasted, "To the couple on the ground. Duty and honor!"
Lindsay and Tyler ate the fish tails and despite both of them slightly cringing at eating them both managed to get them down and acted refresh.
"Total Drama yum yum fish tails. Eat them fast and eat them now." Lindsay and Tyler cheered before kissing as Jasmine, Leshawna, Bridgette, and Ezekiel were shown cheering while Harold looked annoyed at the scene since his vision wasn't completely fulfilled.
Back To First Class
Chris seemed less than impressed however as many Team Victory members looked solemnly at the ground "That was interesting to say the least."
"You know maybe we should have gone with Lindsay's Pad Thai idea instead." Leshawna stated.
"I told you." Lindsay said indignantly.
"No, my idea was the best. Mine would have been art if my idea would have been fully explored, but no we had to compromise, if there was no couple, the commercial would have been a perfect metaphor of art, and a metaphor of Earth's crying out. Ezekiel screws everything up" Harold began ranting until Shawn put his hand over Harold's mouth for the third time during the day.
"Dude, shut up, the commercial is done. Nothing we can do about it now." Shawn said impatiently before the camera panned to Ezekiel who had a confused look on his face. "I am sick of your shit." Shawn said off screen.
Confessional- Ezekiel
"What could I have done to get Harold annoyed with me, eh. I figured we were friends or at least cool enough with each other. But he is just so angry with me. I was mad at him at first and now I'm just confused eh."
Back To Scene
"Thank you, Shawn." Blaineley said. "Now for Team Amazon." she announced.
"Oh my gosh this is so embarrassing." Sadie said quietly.
"I feel so humiliated." Gwen said looking anywhere to get her mind off of this.
"What do we tell them?" Heather discreetly whispered to the others.
"Chris, as the leader of Team Amazon-" Courtney began to say, until Heather interrupted her.
"You are not the leader. We never agreed on that." Heather impatiently said. Before Courtney could retort, the rest of Team Amazon came into First Class with Cody in the lead looking particularly out of breath.
"Here's the tape, holy cow I have never run that fast." Cody panted looking out of breath. "I need water." Cody said as he handed the tape over to Chase.
"Wait, we have a commercial? Especially after that big argument" Anne-Maria asked.
"What's the title for it?" Gwen asked. "Or did we not get that far?"
"We do, we just don't have a title for it, besides Huh" Chase explained.
"Well let's see it!" Blaineley excitedly claimed.
Team Amazon's Commercial
The commercial started with the fish tail, until it showed the lights along with 4 copies of the mask that Gwen wanted to use as Sierra broke out into a mini song "Yeah! Total Drama Candy Fish Tails!" she yelled as the screen next showed the masks turning into donuts which then became one giant donut which exploded with the fish tails shown briefly before exploding as well.
Ella was shown with the megaphones singing next "Eat them now, eat them then, eat them any time." she sang.
The commercial concluded with the fake bird shown eating the fish tail as Topher was heard saying "You ate it!"
Back To First Class
Every person in Team Style and Team Victory looked like they had just seen a horror show, and no one wanted to speak up. Luckily Blaineley didn't seem to mind so she took the reins and asked Chef "Okay Chef, you have seen all the commercials so who wins this challenge?"
"Blaineley, Chris, I think I have to go with Team Amazon. I just really resonated with the exploding donuts." Chef explained.
"Thanks, Cody, for saving us. That was amazing." Gwen said.
"Aw isn't he. Group hug!" Sierra said until some of the team came closer. "Buzz off."
"Oh, come on Sierra, we should have a group hug after how we all thought we were gonna lose." Ella said which Sierra sighed and indicated for everyone to get in for the group hug which everyone in Team Amazon did as everyone was relieved that no one was getting eliminated.
"Okay, but I have to ask who the losing team is?" Chris asked.
"Let me make this clear, both Team Style's and Team Victory's ads sucked. Victory had that sad donkey thing, and Style couldn't even execute their commercial properly, but I have decided that Team Victory….." Chef began to say.
"Yes?" Shawn said, sounding nervous.
"Consider yourselves lucky. You guys got second and at least stayed on track the whole time also Lindsay and Tyler's acting helped you guys cross the finish line. If the monster on Team Style would have eaten the fish tail, it would be a different story." Chef explained.
"Team Style you will be sending your second player and third person overall out of this plane. You have a few hours to decide." Chris announced.
"Well, this sucks." Dave said as the camera flashed away to confessional.
Confessional- Cody
"Helping my team win the challenge is just an awesome feeling. Who knew Chef liked exploding donuts as that was a last second decision."
Confessional- Harold
"Is Chef crazy? The couple was the worst part of our commercial. Ugh! Second place isn't bad, but I thought my vision would have won it."
Confessional- Alejandro
"Ugh, losing a second challenge is demoralizing. There is so much dead weight on this team. But I do think someone stands out for not helping at all."
Economy Class
Justin was shown sitting alone on the bench in Economy class looking down as Trent walked up to him, "What did my bandmate do that made him look like he just got punched in the gut?" Trent asked.
"I just sense it's my time. Besides you, no one else on the team has talked to me on account of well last season." Justin explained. "Doesn't help, I suspect Noah, and his group are after me. I thought I saw them look at me funny during the challenge."
"Oh, come on. Owen likes you; I doubt he would vote you out." Trent claimed.
"If it's me or Izzy he would eliminate me in a heartbeat. He did it last season." Justin explained.
"Yeah, things do look bleak for you man. I'll vote with you, but I don't know man how you are getting out of this one if you ask me." Trent lamented.
Alejandro walked up at seemingly perfect time, "I have an idea." Alejandro said, walking up to both of them.
"What, is it getting rid of Owen?" Trent asked, which made Alejandro look confused, "Come on Al, don't play dumb, it's pretty clear to tell you are annoyed with him. I won't say anything but don't let Owen figure that out."
"No. As much as I find that big oaf annoying. I want him to suffer a bit. We need to target Izzy, she has arguably cost us two challenges, with her gone, Eva and Owen will be more at each other as there is no way Noah can keep those two from not annoying each other." Alejandro explained.
"Wow Alejandro, I didn't know you had this devious side to you." Trent exclaimed.
"I don't mind." Justin said.
"Everyone has a devious and scheming side in them, besides maybe Ella. You just have to find the right words to use on certain people and they will embrace this game, for what it is. A game" Alejandro explained.
"Okay, but there's only 3 of us. We need at least 5 more of us to get the votes on Izzy. What's the plan?" Trent asked.
"I am sure we could get Jen on board, she seems easily impressionable, same with Julia, and Sky. I can get Brick on board, and then maybe some form of Jo, Bowie, and Duncan." Alejandro further explained.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Keeping Justin over Izzy is for two main reasons. Justin is a perfect shield. Noah will always look at him before me, and getting rid of Izzy is perfect as she serves me no purpose whatsoever.
Confessional- Trent
"I'm still shocked that Alejandro is a schemer. Maybe it's just temporary. (shrugs) Also Jen doesn't seem easily impressionable. She seems nice."
Storage Area
Jen and Sky were shown taking down the set, "I can't believe we lost." Sky said angrily. "Look, I'm going to go get some water. Do you need a water bottle, Jen?" Sky asked.
"No, I'm good." Jen said as Sky left the scene. A few moments later Trent walked up, with Jen being unaware.
"Hey Jen!" Trent said, happy to see a face he could trust.
"Oh my gosh, don't scare me, Trent. What's up?" Jen asked trying to get her composure back.
"Have you given any thought on who to eliminate tonight?" Trent asked.
"Honestly, no. Izzy screwed up by kissing Owen, same with Owen, Justin is a lousy leader, and I can just stare at Alejandro instead of him if I wanted too." Jen explained, which made Trent briefly wince. "I also got asked to be in this alliance that I just got gifted I guess."
"Wow, I'm shocked you are telling me this." Trent said.
"Well, you are the person who I trust most on the team. It's a tiny girl group of me, Sky, Julia, and Jo." Jen told Trent.
"Is there any way you can get them to vote out Izzy over Justin? I know that would mean a girl leaving the team, but Justin's my friend and Izzy has cost us arguably two challenges." Trent explained.
"I can see what I do, but no promises okay." Jen said, unsure of whether the girls would want to let Izzy go so soon. "But I will vote Izzy out with you regardless." Jen reassured as Trent left, with Sky walking up after getting more water.
"What did Trent want?" Sky asked.
"Just discussing the vote." Jen explained as the camera flashed.
Confessional- Trent
"It is a bit of a risk sticking my neck out so much for Justin, but I just want to make sure Jen, and I are okay…. Oh, also Justin too."
Elimination Ceremony
Chris was shown with the marshmallows on his plate "Welcome Team Style to your second straight challenge loss. You guys should know the drill, passports in the bathroom, and stamp the person you want out." Chris explained. "Now it's time to vote."
Confessional- Eva
"You cost me a million dollars once, not again. Bye Justin."
Confessional- Alejandro
"I am sorry it had to come to this, but this will hurt your allies more than it will hurt you, so for that reason Izzy you must go."
Confessional- Justin
"If I stay tonight, I will consider it divided intervention, wait that's not it. Regardless, it will be a miracle. Izzy, I vote for you."
Confessional- Sky
"This was a hard vote to do, but after thinking it over. For my game I vote for…" Sky stated looking at the passports.
Back To Elimination Ceremony
"We have marshmallow flavored goodness for all but one of you. The following players are safe…. Alejandro, Brick, Eva, Sky, Bowie, Julia, Trent, Jo, Noah, Owen, Jen, Dave, and Duncan all of you are safe with zero votes. So that leaves Izzy and Justin, both of you need to step forward." Chris explained.
"Awe, Izzy. Not again." Owen lamented.
"Don't worry big O, Noah told us we have the votes." Izzy happily said as her and Justin both stood center stage.
"Izzy you are down here for constantly making out with Owen, arguably costing your team the challenge, and your crazy tendencies. Do you think tonight's the end?" Chris asked
"I am aware I got off script, but I should be safe." Izzy noted.
"Now Justin, you are down here as you don't have many friends on your team, your actions during Season 2 could be why you are the target." Chris said. "Do you think you will be voted out?"
"Ugh, just give the marshmallow to Izzy already." Justin grumbled.
"Well, I will say it was a pretty close vote of 10 to 5." Chris announced as the camera panned to Noah.
"Wait what?" Noah asked, looking at Owen and Eva who both looked confused as well.
"The final marshmallow goes too….
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
….. Justin!" Chris announced. The moment Chris announced that Justin was safe the tension was as high as can be, Owen was doing everything he could to not tear up, Eva and Noah were stunned that one of their closest allies was eliminated, Alejandro had a confident smirk, extremely satisfied that his plan came together, while Trent looked over to Jen and simply mouthed thank you to the fashionista.
"Aw, well" Izzy said, breaking the tension. "You can't win them all. Good luck Owen." Izzy shockingly only gave Owen a kiss on the cheek before quickly grabbing the parachute jumping out as her teammates were still left stunned at everything that just went down.
Confessional- Noah
"Somehow Justin stayed safe, I wouldn't be shocked if Alejandro had something to do with it. Those two would naturally flock to each other. Ugh, I have to think of a game plan but besides my remaining allies I don't trust anybody anymore. Okay maybe there's someone else on this team I want to trust. But would she trust me, I don't know.
Confessional- Owen
"I am going to miss Izzy so much. Oh Izzy, I love you so much. Between her leaving and being on this plane, this is literally torture."
Confessional- Jen
"Jo decided to full on greenlit the idea of getting rid of Izzy when Sky and I asked her and Julia. Said it would make it so no one would suspect the girl alliance. I mean Trent already knows, but they don't need to know that. Heh."
Pilot Cockpit
Chris. Chef, and Blaineley were shown in the pilot area as Blaineley began closing the episode off "How will Team Amazon fare with hardly any concrete direction, will Harold lead his team off a cliff, and what will the aftermath of Izzy's blindside be? Find out next time on Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley excitedly announced.
48th- Lorenzo (Team Style, 15-1 vote, Episode 2)
47th- Laurie (Team Victory, 14-2 vote, Episode 2)
46th- Izzy (Team Style, 10-5 vote, Episode 3)
Votes
Izzy- 10 votes (Jen, Trent, Alejandro, Duncan, Sky, Julia, Jo, Brick, Bowie, Justin)
Justin- 5 votes (Izzy, Owen, Dave, Eva, Noah)
Notes:
Thus ends the Japan chapter. With a different result than canon. Now first off on why I got rid of Izzy. In canon World Tour she lasts a bit too long and besides her and Owen being crazy together, I didn't have a ton of plot for her. Izzy's elimination is meant to really kickstart Owen's plot I have for him as well I will say. But for Izzy herself I never had a ton planned for her once she joined Noah's alliance.
Now for some other highlights. You may have noticed there was no song this episode, as I was never the biggest on the song this episode, but this will also play a role in a future episode in regard to Chris and Blaineley and their boss Don.
The pinball challenge was so fun to write for, as having 3 balls was a great addition, and the Emma and Chase scene was perfect to write for.
Team Amazon was fun to write for this chapter as in the canon episode they are a trainwreck and this episode I wanted to up that by like 20 and I hope I accomplished that especially with the huge argument.
Also, I hope you guys can tell I have a lot more planned with Harold. His plot should be hopefully interesting.
So, I leave you and I hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Chapter 5: Anything Yukon Do I Can Do Better
Summary:
The remaining 45 competitors travel to the frigid Yukon, where the aftermath of Japan's elimination has left one contestant heartbroken. A race in the Yukon leads to members from different teams interacting, one person gets way too protective of their crush, and an act of sabotage leaves one person left behind on a pole, and another contestant bites the dust.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Anything Yukon Do I Can Do Better
Recap
The episode began showing a map of the world before zooming in on Japan as Chris began the recap, "Last time on Total Drama World Race. Our contestants got dropped off in Japan, first they had to experience human pinball with Cody realizing the extent of Sierra' affection for him, Chase and Emma going through a stinky situation, and the absolute dominance of Alejandro in the challenge."
Blaineley began narrating herself "On Team Amazon, Courtney tried to be the leader of Team Amazon, but Heather was having none of it. Elsewhere Gwen and Scott formed an unlikely connection, even though I don't know how to describe it. For Team Style, Jo decided to form a mini girl alliance of herself, Sky, Jen, and Julia. While Noah had his sights set on targeting Justin. On Team Victory, Harold tried to take the reins as leader of his team with mixed results at best." Blaineley recapped as Chris spoke up,
"For the second challenge our contestants had to film a commercial, with each team having their fair share of problems. On Team Victory, Ezekiel tried to input his own ideas and despite Harold's protests Team Victory agreed and managed to barely eeked out a second-place finish. For Team Amazon, Courtney and Heather's contrasting ideas along with Gwen's led to a huge argument where pushover Zoey grew a voice and kicked them all out of the challenge and along with some decent leadership from Cody, he led Team Amazon to a first-place finish, but I imagine there is still tension on the team." Chris explained.
"Unfortunately for Team Style they faced their second straight elimination due to Izzy and Owen's constant making out during the day, where despite Noah trying to get the votes onto Justin to save his allies, it was Alejandro and more so Trent who got Jo's girl alliance on board to send Izzy home for her overall weak performances. With 3 warriors down and 45 remaining, who will be the next player to take the dreaded drop of shame, right here, on the Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley said, closing out the recap.
Theme Song
Dear Mom and Dad I'm Doing Fine
The theme song immediately begins showing Owen underwater swimming while Noah and Cameron look on in disgust underwater pointing to Owen's lack of swimsuit which makes Owen instantly cover up
You Guys Are On My Mind

You Asked Me What I Wanted to Be
Brick, Eva, Jo, Sky, and Courtney are shown paddling the boat with Jo and Sky glaring at each other with Sky also glaring at Duncan for what he did to Dave, while Brick looks enthusiastic, and Eva has a neutral expression.
Now I Think the Answer Is Plain to See
The boat crashes into a raft holding Gwen, Ella, Kitty, and Mickey with Gwen looking resigned to her fate, Ella not seeming to mind while Mickey looks freaked out until Kitty gives him a pat on the back to try and calm him down.
I Wanna Be Famous
Duncan quickly tries to pull Gwen off the raft, but Courtney stops and glares at him as the camera flashes to the next scene.

Everything To Prove Nothing In My Way
Cody and Emma land in Sierra's arms with Sierra tossing Emma to the snow on her head with ease and then giving Cody a huge hug much to his discomfort. Lindsay is then shown a picture of Tyler, confused about it as Beth, Sadie, and Katie try to explain who he is before a bear shows up scaring all of them and making them run away.
Cause I Wanna Be Famous
The person shown in the bear is Izzy who laughs, while Millie is shown writing in her notebook, Laurie winces at the sight, and Scott laughs as well about the whole thing until a seal comes and bites Izzy's hands making all of them run away.
Na Na Na Na Na
Geoff, Brody, and Bridgette are shown surfing really well, while Damien, DJ, and Lorenzo are shown struggling, causing all 6 to pile up soon after.
Na Na Na Na Na
On a street in presumably Europe, Trent and Jen are shown dancing on the road enjoying the moment, same with Zoey and Topher until Anne-Maria tries to grab on to Topher confusing him and making Zoey glare, however all 5 stop when the jumbo jet comes near the ground making all 5 duck for cover.

(End Of Intro)
First Class
The episode began showing a sleeping Topher in one of the seats as Anne-Maria sighed in admiration at the guy, "Aw he is so handsome when he sleeps." Anne-Maria said quietly to herself.
"No, I did nothing wrong. Father, I swear." Topher said quietly in his sleep.
"I said handsome not coherent." Anne Maria defended herself.
The camera then showed Heather sleeping or at least trying to sleep as she had a night mask on but one could tell she was awake.
Confessional- Heather
"Ugh, it is so frustrating. I know that Gwen and Courtney still have a vendetta against me and probably want me out the next time we lose, and I have made very little progress making allies. I have maybe Sierra and that's it, and she is so creepy with her Cody obsession that she is not a good ally to have. Maybe today I can try something with other people that are less insane."
Back To First Class
The scene shifted to Gwen and Courtney who were relaxing in their seats in first class, both looking to take a nap. The camera also showed Cody, Kitty, Mickey, and Sierra with Kitty asleep as well, along with Cody as Mickey looked on in concern as he saw that Sierra was massaging Cody's feet against his will. "Uh Sierra, what is it that you are doing?" Mickey asked.
Sierra, was so lost in her own world only quickly looked up to see Mickey's concerned look "Don't worry Mickey, I am just giving Cody a foot massage." Sierra explained aggressively.
Cody, who was feeling something stumbled awake and quickly recoiled his feet back in worry, "Sierra what the hell are you doing?" Cody himself asked.
Sierra paid Cody's worries no mind and quickly grabbed Cody's feet again, "Oh come on everyone loves having foot massages."
"Yeah, normally but I don't like having my feet touched and you aren't listening to me, are you?" Cody realized in the middle of his statement.
"No not really, but did you know there's a pressure point in the foot that can temporarily paralyze the body?" Sierra stated and before Cody could say anything Sierra hit said pressure point that did in fact paralyze Cody and knock him out cold.
"Sierra, maybe you should go for a walk." Mickey suggested, "You know Cody needs to prepare for today's challenge."
"OMG, you are so right. I will be right back." Sierra stated, running off as Kitty woke up looking at a paralyzed Cody as she was left very confused.
"What happened here? Cody doesn't look the best and it looks like he can't move?" Kitty noted as she saw Cody couldn't move. At that moment Scott walked by to explain what happened.
"Sierra gave Cody a foot massage while he was asleep. Cody woke up and Sierra decided to paralyze Cody temporarily with a pressure point in the foot." Scott stated, walking by not caring for the scene.
"Wait, what that can't be true. What?" Kitty said in bewilderment looking around and noticed that Mickey was also shocked at what transpired before Mickey nodded his head to confirm what Scott said.
"Yeah, she is crazy." Mickey said, looking at Cody with worry. "I kind of want her gone."
Confessional- Kitty
"Sierra is really strong in challenges and that's great but her quite frankly stalker-esque tendencies to Cody are not helping anyone on the team and maybe I should say something, but I don't want to be alone when saying this."
Confessional- Cody
"Never ever fall asleep near a stalker, that's rule number one. I wonder if the place we will visit next will have shoes with locks on them."
Economy Class
In economy class Owen was shown holding Izzy's stun gun with Noah walking up to him noticing it, "Izzy's stun gun, where did you find that Owen?' he asked.
"Izzy left them in my bag in case she was getting eliminated, we didn't think it was a possibility, but she's gone and this plane, and…... I want to go home!" Owen screamed out.
"It's okay buddy." Noah said trying to reassure his best friend.
Confessional- Noah
"Ugh, I need Owen's head on straight. I have already lost Lorenzo and Izzy, two (whispers) alliance (normal voice) members and having Owen being a mess today doesn't help anything."
Back To Economy Class
Harold walked up to Leshawna with something behind his back, before presenting the item "My lady" he greeted.
"Harold, baby, is that your num-yo? Why are you giving it to me you fool?" Leshawna asked, confused.
"Just a sign of our friendship, I guess. Also, in case somehow I get voted out." Harold explained.
"Actually, on that note." Leshawna looked around, "Come with me." she said sternly, grabbing Harold's ear and pulling him to the side.
"Ow, ow!" Harold said as he and Leshawna moved closer to the common area. "What was that for?"
"Look, you probably almost got yourself eliminated last time had Zeke's idea not bailed you out." Leshawna explained.
"Debatable. What about it?" Harold said, annoyed.
"And right now the team is probably angry with you for almost leading us to elimination. Look sweetie, just follow my lead today and stay calm." Leshawna said.
"I can do that for you, Leshawna. Anything for you!" Harold said happily.
"Also please don't let Zeke get to you. I still don't know why you are so mad at that boy?" Leshawna said.
"I just don't want to talk about it okay?" Harold said walking away angry that Leshawna questioned him while Leshawna was further confused about Harold's anger at Ezekiel.
As both were walking back Chris showed up to economy class, "And how is everyone back here doing is what I would ask if I cared, coming through make way." Chris announced rudely as everyone glared.
"Dude, none of us are in your way" Damien noted.
"Yeah, you don't have to be such a dick about it." Jo said.
"Look, is there just no pinball of any kind at wherever we are going next?" Shawn asked
"I just don't want pandas; my scratches aren't fully healed." Beth said as she still looked a bit beat up.
"Do we have to advertise for some cheap product again?" Trent also asked.
"A product that shouldn't have made it to shelves." Millie said.
"Don't worry guys, the next place will have all that stuff. Ha" Chris laughed walking back to his headquarters as Sierra flinched at what he said.
Confessional- Tyler
"Yeah, no one liked their time in Japan. Between the commercials, pinballs, and fish tails. I hope to never go back there, and I don't think I'm alone in that sentiment."
Confessional- Sierra
"Thanks to my extensive viewings of Seasons 1 and 2, I can tell that Chris was bluffing back there. Usually when he says something it means the opposite. Classic Chris."
Landing In the Yukon
The seatbelt light flashed on as members of Team Victory were shown trying to get the seatbelts on, but the turbulence was rough and caused Leshawna to bang her head on the ceiling. "Ow, I hate them so much!" Leshawna yelled out.
"Here just hold on to me." Harold yelled as he had already gotten his seat belt on and despite their previous discussion, Leshawna didn't have to be told twice.
"We're having some major air troubles, over!" Chef reported over the intercom.
"You know Chef, you don't have to say over." Chris pointed out.
"Well maybe I like saying it, over!" Chef yelled.
"AAH! WE ARE ALL GONNA DIE!" Owen yelled out, Alejandro being the one that was sitting next to him decided that he didn't want to hear his teammate constantly crying and managed to hit a pressure point that knocked him out temporarily.
"Impressive." Justin noted, begrudgingly respecting Alejandro
Bridgette was shown praying while desperately holding onto Geoff, Lindsay meanwhile had her fingers crossed with Cameron and Tyler as each of them tried to stay calm.
Noah went to grab his seatbelt but unfortunately for him it broke before he could really make an attempt to strap in, "Perfect" he lamented. "I am going to go hold onto Owen." he said, grabbing onto his best friend who was still sound asleep.
"Should we stop messing with them and level out?" Chef asked.
"Hmm, nah!" Chris said ecstatically.
"What the heck is going on, I was getting some beauty sleep." Blaineley asked, walking into the pilot cockpit.
"We're just messing with the contestants," Chris stated.
"Well, you don't mess with the co-host's sleeping time. Level us out at least." Blaineley said angrily.
"But we're having fun." Chris whined.
"I don't care. Level us out now!" Blaineley demanded.
"Ugh, fine." Chef said. "The landing raft is frozen so how are we getting out?"
"Simple, the kiddos jump out of the plane from the economy section door." Blaineley explained. "Oh, and Don wants upfront honesty with you doing this."
"Fine. Attention passengers, when we land in the Yukon, we are going to be landing in the snow so if you have any extra winter gear, put it on." Chef announced before realizing he accidentally turned the intercom off, not that he was complaining.
"Blaineley you ruin all the fun." Chris grimaced.
"Take it up with Don." Blaineley said confidently walking away as Chris glared at her.
Pre-Challenge
Each of the contestants were shown at the starting line, many of them shivering cold, well except for Mickey who didn't seem affected by the weather at all, something that Topher noted, "How, how are you not cold?" Topher asked, shivering while also being secretly impressed.
"I just don't feel cold or warm no matter what. Stick me in a sauna or the arctic and I will be fine either way. Doctors can't explain it." Mickey said, chuckling.
"Impressive." Topher noted.
"Thanks." Mickey said, shocked someone like Topher wasn't belittling him.
For Heather however it was no laughing matter, "Um, hello where are our jackets?" Heather asked angrily.
"Um there are over 40 of you guys, do you guys really think we have the budget for all of you to get jackets." Chris snidely said.
"That and today's challenge should get the blood pumping depending on who you are." Blaineley noted.
"Maybe we could all huddle for warmth?" Courtney suggested.
Noah decided to walk up to Eva to cuddle for warmth, but it was clear as day that Eva didn't feel cold and as such pushed Noah away, luckily or unluckily for Noah, Owen walked up to Noah and Eva, "You can cuddle me buddy!" Owen said, hugging Noah in a bear hug.
"Can't breathe." Noah weakly said.
Cody himself didn't fare any better as he tried to approach Gwen, only for Gwen to lightly nudge him away as Sierra grabbed Cody against his will. "No!" Cody yelled in pain.
"I love you Codykins." Sierra said as Kitty and Mickey watched and cringed.
Geoff and Bridgette cuddled as well before lightly kissing each other, but Bridgette remembered they were supposed to be focused on the game and pulled away as both cuddled rather awkwardly after that. Alejandro got cuddled by Ella, Katie, and Beth as the Spaniard didn't mind, however noticing that it was just Katie, Alejandro decided to shoot Sadie a glance.
"He's so hot." Sadie told herself.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Out of everyone in the game, the twins as I call them, or Katie and Sadie are the most disposable in the game. They mainly talk to each other and if one goes the other one will crumble without the other one there. That's some win-win action."
Back To Scene
Chris was boastful about the situation. "Sure, is chilly without mittens."
"Hot cocoa?" Chef asked walking up, as he was also well dressed for the weather.
"Don't mind if I do." Chris said happily.
"Mm this is delicious." Blaineley confidently said.
"Ah much better." Chris said after drinking most of it, as Owen and a rather unwilling Noah who was still trapped in Owen's hug walked up to Chris.
"Are you going to finish that?" Owen asked.
"Of course he is, it's Chris' favorite drink-" Sierra said, popping up with Cody also trapped in a hug he would rather not be in.
"Wrong my favorite is-" Chris began to say.
"Right next to tomato juice. Which I know you crave more than anything." Sierra creepily said.
"Wait a minute that's not on the fan site, or the forums, how the heck did you know I like tomato juice?" Chris asked creeped out.
"I went to your old high school and interviewed your teachers for this biography I'm writing." Sierra said happily. "What do you think Cody?"
"Let go of me. You are so creepy." Cody said, trying to get out of her grip.
"Okay moving on." Chris said putting a hand on Sierra's mouth indicating for her and Owen to head back to the others.
Confessional- Anne Maria
"Yeah, something is not right with that girl. She needs help"
Prep/Explanation of Challenge
Blaineley started to explain the challenge, "Okay today's challenge is called Total Drama the Icicle. Now crossing this river used to be easy but due to global warming and fart machines like Owen the river has melted." Blaineley began to say as Chris spoke up next.
"Teams must make their way through the ice chasms to the dog sleds just down the way. First two people to reach the sled will be the dogs, then the next two people will enter the sled, then you can go. Picking up teammates along the racecourse. First team to finish gets immunity and first class, second place gets immunity, last place is sending the fourth person out the plane tonight."
Tyler himself was very excited "Are you guys ready for some mad ice flow jumping? Because I am going to kick it into high gear and pull the sled. Woo!"
Leshawna stepped up to him "Now hold on jock boy. Our physically strongest teammates should pull the sled and remember your dodgeball performance during Season 1."
"But I've gotten better." Tyler protested.
"Tyler when we were running on the treadmills on that show, you wiped out easily." Leshawna said annoyed. "Look, if you can get to the sled first then you can but I don't think you should."
Damien spoke up next, "Yeah looking at those sleds over there some form of DJ, Geoff, Brody, or Jasmine should pull the sled. Oh, and whoever doesn't reach the sled or pull it should stay on the course and head straight for the finish so that way we don't have to stop at every checkmark."
"Dudes, that sounds like a great idea." Brody said happily and excited.
"It's just basic logic." Damien said defending himself.
With Team Style, Eva spoke up "I should be the one to pull the sled, I can handle it no problem as long as you guys don't slow me down."
Confessional- Eva
"I have to prove my worth. Losing Izzy is a total wake up call for me. I am not safe at all, so if I show that my physical strength is top notch, there is no way they will get rid of me."
Back to Scene
Jo also spoke up, "Listen, I should also pull the sled, let the most physically capable women do the hardest part of the challenge." Jo boasted which earned a raised eyebrow from Sky and a glare from Eva.
Over at Team Amazon, Coutney spoke up, "Whoever gets the sled first should have at it."
Confessional- Courtney
"Team Amazon is still trying to figure out a leader and as much as I would love to take control. I will hold back today as I don't need the spotlight on me after how horrifically bad the last challenge went for me."
Start of Challenge
"Okay, if everyone knows what they are doing, on your marks, get set, and go!" Chris announced. Chef blew a moose horn which indicated the start of the challenge.
The contestants all took off in a sprint with Tyler leading the group, unfortunately for him he quickly lost his balance and fell in the water, something that Lindsay noticed. "OW! So-so cold!"
"Tyler!" Lindsay cried out pulling her boyfriend out of the water as Sierra walked by giggling.
"Thanks babe." Tyler told Lindsay as he noticed Sierra's glee and had a feeling where this was going.
"It's not shocking heh that you failed. Tyler is the least popular Total Drama contestant." Sierra said running by as Tyler and Lindsay both glared at the superfan.
"I hate her." Tyler noted.
Confessional- Tyler
"I don't get it. How am I the least popular contestant online? I went on many reality game shows with Leshawna, Ezekiel got booted first during the first season, I am always in talks with Lindsay who is one of the most popular. Maybe Sierra has something against me? She is the one that does all the fan blogs. But that also doesn't make any sense either. Regardless I need to stand out from everyone and become more popular. Besides Lindsay everything I am doing is to increase my popularity with the fans"
Back To Ice Flows
Eva was shown making quick work of the ice blocks with Jo running right behind her as Noah and Owen looked on in astonishment. "Wow." Owen said in shock.
Noah however decided to have a burst of confidence. One to make sure he was not going insane but more importantly to make sure Owen's spirits are lifted. "If the gym girls can do it, so can we. Come on!" Noah proudly proclaimed before falling face first into the ice block.
Owen saw his best friend in pain and tried to help "Noah hang on buddy!" Owen cried out. Unfortunately, the force of the landing shot Noah skywards and backwards near the plane into a pile of snow. "Oh my gosh sorry Noah" Owen yelled out running back and helped to get Noah out of the snow.
Noah however was less than pleased. He got himself out of the snow, with a huge scowl on his face, "Ugh, just my damn luck. This is crap." Noah yelled out.
Owen, shocked at his friend's outburst, tried to comfort him "It's okay buddy, we can do this challenge together." Owen reassured.
"It's not the challenge, well it is also that. It's the fact that somehow my game is going horrible, we've lost two allies and look we are so far behind everyone else on the ice." Noah ranted.
Owen, seeing his best friend in such a bad state, had an idea. "What if we just forget the challenge and game for a little bit?" Owen suggested.
"Forget the challenge, like quit? Why the heck would we do that?" Noah asked incredulously.
"Not quit, but while we were landing and I woke up, I saw a village less than a mile away. Maybe they will have something to help calm me down from flying and cheer you up. Look I just want to take my mind off this challenge especially if it's causing my little buddy so much stress" Owen told Noah.
Noah thought about it and decided it was best to agree with Owen here. "Okay, but we should probably be quick. Let's go." Noah said as he and Owen ran the opposite end of the frozen river.
Confessional- Noah
"Is it a risk to set our team back a little more? Yes, but Owen's right, I need to get my head out of the game for a bit and who knows maybe this will be the boost I need after such a rough start game wise."
Ice Flows
While Noah and Owen went away from the challenge, Leshawna was having a much easier time "This is so easy, I could do this in my sleep!" Leshawna yelled out as Harold was trying to keep up with her and luckily for him, he was having similar luck.
Unfortunately for Gwen after landing on all fours on an ice block, "Wow so far so good." she said, but as fate would have it the ice block, she was on began splitting in half right away. "Woah! Woah! Help!" Gwen yelled out.
"Hang on Gwen!" Cody called out, unfortunately for Cody, Duncan himself also went over to help Gwen out and both men collided with each other on an ice block right next to Gwen.
"Don't worry pasty, I got you." Duncan said, standing up from his collision.
"No, I got her." Cody said as he got up, however one look at Duncan's menacing glare did make Cody back up, unfortunately Duncan also gave him a light shove which landed Cody in the frigid water.
"You okay Gwen?" Duncan asked, getting to Gwen's ice block.
"Yeah, I'm fine, just freaked-" Gwen began to say until Duncan grabbed her hand and had both of them duck underneath an ice block that was thrown at them. "What the hell was that?" Gwen asked.
The person who threw said block was none other than Sierra, "You guys are not going to make me put an obituary on my Cody blog." Sierra yelled out.
Duncan and Gwen who were still ducked below looked at each other in concern, "That girl is insane." Duncan retorted.
"Try being teammates with her." Gwen said as they began running away off camera.
"Dang, they are out of range." Sierra said angrily as Zoey went up to her ice block.
"Sierra, did I just see you throw a giant ice block at Gwen?" Zoey asked.
'She and Duncan hurt my precious Cody!" Sierra defended her actions. "He fell in the water."
"Well then why are you hurting a teammate and letting Cody drown?" Zoey asked in bewilderment.
"Wait, Cody's drowning?" Sierra asked out loud. "Oh no! I'm coming, Cody!" Sierra yelled out grabbing a frozen fish and using it as a paddle with Zoey watching shocked at her teammates actions as she decided to accompany Sierra for the challenge.
Another Part of The Challenge
Katie and Sadie were crossing the river together with Alejandro nearby as Katie was losing her balance, until Alejandro grabbed onto Katie to prevent her from slipping.
"Oh my gosh thanks Alejandro." Katie said, surprised at Alejandro's actions. "We are on different teams, you know."
"You know my mother raised a gentleman, so teams and labels are meaningless." Alejandro said which made Katie and Sadie both gasp as Bridgette is shown looking from afar before slipping and falling on her butt.
Confessional- Katie and Sadie
"It's like so cool, Sadie, that a guy like Alejandro is noticing us." Katie gushed.
"So cool, I wonder if he would ask me out." Sadie asked.
"Well, I think he should ask me out." Katie retorted back.
"No, he should ask me out. I've never had a boyfriend." Sadie said angrily.
"Yeah, but I am going to take him first." Katie claimed.
"Like hell if you are." Sadie yelled in anger.
Soon both girls were engaging in a slap fight in the confessional as the camera cut.
Confessional- Bridgette
"It's odd, when Geoff and I are always right next to each other it's tempting to just drown the world out and make out with him. But ever since we promised to focus on the game, it makes me wonder about him and I. Even beyond Alejandro."
Frozen Water
Unfortunately for Cody things were looking dire as despite his best efforts to swim he could feel his body tensing up as his body began to freeze. "Can't move. Help me." Cody said as he began to sink.
Luckily for him he did get saved as Kitty and Mickey had just happened to be close by and got him out of the water before he froze too much. "Oh my gosh is he okay?" Mickey asked, scared at the sight that happened.
"I-I'm fine." Cody said weakly. "Thanks."
In another part of the river Katie and Sadie were following Alejandro as Alejandro reassured them "Come on Katie jump, you got this!" Alejandro called out.
"Should we jump together?" Sadie asked.
"I'll go first then jump okay!" Katie reassured her best friend. "1, 2, 3!" Katie yelled out, unfortunately her aim wasn't the best and she landed right on Alejandro kissing him accidentally.
Sadie who saw the whole scene misinterpreted it "You are going to ask him out and kissing him is how! I can't believe you Katie!" Sadie yelled out, going to an ice block further away from Katie and Alejandro as Sadie didn't want to see her supposed best friend in that moment and ran off screen.
"Sadie!" Katie yelled out in despair.
"I should go make sure your friend is okay." Alejandro said going after Sadie as Katie looked on in confusion while Alejandro had a smirk after turning his face away from Katie.
Confessional- Katie
"It's odd being away from Sadie during any period of time. We do everything together, but I don't think a guy as charming and lovely as Alejandro wouldn't lie to me. So, for this challenge Sadie and I will spend some time apart as she gets to spend time with Alejandro."
End Of River/Sleds
DJ and Brody were making quick work of the ice flows and were the first ones to finish, "Congrats Brody and DJ, you guys finish first. So, you two will be the sled dogs for Team Victory, take your pick of the sleds and get all set up." Chris instructed.
DJ however was starting to feel emotional and began crying with Chris backing away as Brody noticed something was wrong "Hey dude, what's got you feeling down? We're in the lead!" Brody asked.
"It's just being back in the Yukon; it makes me think of my momma and her freezer." DJ said sadly. "I miss you momma!"
"Dude it's okay, we will win this challenge, and you will get your momma a nice freezer. Ugh that being said, the cold right now makes me want to go for a cherry slushy." Brody said, putting on some of the gear.
Meanwhile back with Cody, Mickey, and Kitty. Cody was not looking the best as he had icicles forming on his nose and was shivering profusely.
Kitty was the first to note, "I don't think you're fine Cody. You look sick."
"I think he needs warmth of some kind." Mickey noted.
"No-no, I'm fine." Cody tried to say before sneezing and shivering some more. Unfortunately for all three of them, Sierra and a very reluctant Zoey finally arrived on the scene.
"Oh my gosh, what the hell did you guys do to my Cody? He needs to get to shore now!" Sierra yelled out, and before anyone could object Sierra picked Cody up against his will.
"Wait what are you- aah!" Cody screamed out as he was thrown in the sky.
"Go Cody!" Sierra yelled out throwing Cody to shore, unfortunately for Cody he hit the side of a cliff and had a mountain of snow fall on top of him "Oops." Sierra said meekly.
"Oops, that is all you can say is oops Sierra?" Kitty asked angrily, glaring at Sierra as was Zoey while Mickey just had a look of worry on his face.
"I didn't mean to hurt him. It was an accident." Sierra defended.
"Regardless of whether it's an accident or not, Sierra you can't just throw teammates around." Zoey began.
"Or give them unwanted foot massages." Mickey also pointed out.
"Or throw ice blocks at them." Zoey finished.
"I don't see what I am doing is wrong" Sierra defended before running to the river to retrieve Cody, as all three of Mickey, Zoey, and Kitty sighed and followed her soon after.
"She is so exhausting." Zoey noted.
"Agreed." Both Kitty and Mickey stated, both wanting to make sure Cody was okay and give Sierra a piece of their mind.
Confessional- Mickey
"Yeah, so pretty much once Sierra threw Cody into a wall and he fell in the snow, Kitty, Zoey and I pretty much decided without saying anything to watch over Sierra to make sure she doesn't hurt Cody, or anyone else on the team. But mainly Cody."
Small Village
Meanwhile with Owen and Noah, they had finally made it to the small village that was near the challenge as they wanted to take their minds off the game for a bit, Noah was shocked at this still however "I am shocked there is a village in the wild of the Yukon. Regardless, let's just go get something to calm you down from flying." Noah stated.
Luckily, they noticed a toy shop nearby and Noah could tell by looking at Owen that was where he wanted to go. As soon as both got in Owen immediately saw a stuffed toy bear, he wanted, "Ooh Noah! Let's get this one, it's cute and reminds me of home."
"Okay big guy will do, I still have some leftover money from my parents, how much for the teddy bear on the display?" Noah asked the clerk.
"It's not for sale young man and we don't take kindly to your folks around here." the clerk said aggressively.
"My kind? What's that supposed to mean?" Noah asked suspiciously, thinking the owner was specifically signaling him out for his skin tone.
"The entertainment industry eh. You guys have a camera person with you and this village doesn't allow any photography or media so scram." the clerk said angrily.
"Look, just let us have the bear and we will be on our way." Noah tried to explain.
"No, now get out of my store!" The clerk demanded in a very aggressive tone.
"Noah, buddy you don't have to do this for me just because I lost Izzy, and I am scared of the plane. Doesn't mean I need a gift" Owen told Noah.
"No, I insist, it's what friends do, and you are my best friend here Owen." Noah said as he was trying to get the clerks' attention but then Noah's eyes shot up in fear. "We got to go; I am sure he is calling the police."
"What do you mean, this village doesn't exist, it's right out in the wilderness. Many hours to get here? What are-" the clerk said angrily on the phone.
"Owen grab the bear and let's get out of here before we get arrested, my parents don't have bailout money." Noah said.
"My parents still don't after the cheese cellar last season." Owen said, grabbing the teddy bear as he and Noah screamed all the way out of the store and ran back to the challenge at hand.
By The Sleds
Leshawna and Jasmine were shown standing side by side as the ice flows brought them naturally to the end. "Sometimes you just got to go with the flow." Leshawna said approaching the end with Jasmine right behind her.
"Nice work ladies, you both got here third and fourth for your team, so you get to relax while Brody and DJ pull the sled and enjoy the ride, girls." Blaineley said.
"Mm cozy, ooh this hat is nice!" Leshawna picked it up. "Girl what do you think, do I pull it off" Leshawna asked Jasmine.
"Ooh definitely sheila." Jasmine noticed before noticing DJ crying, "What's got into him!?" Jasmine asked as she saw DJ was crying as Brody consoled him.
"It's just being back in Canada and the Yukon makes me miss my mother." DJ said sadly.
"Well quit crying and get the stuff on, we have a small lead. We can't blow it." Jasmine said.
"Girls, let him cry it out." Brody said.
With Team Amazon, Courtney, Chase, Emma, and Heather all arrived at the same time. "Okay Team Amazon, Chase and Courtney arrived first so they are pulling the sled." Chris explained.
"All four of us got here at the exact same time, we should all pull the sled." Courtney protested.
"No dice. In the event of a tie, we go alphabetical, so Courtney and Chase get hooked up, Heather and Emma enjoy the ride." Chris said.
"Guys help me out here!" Courtney said indignantly, hoping she wouldn't have to pull the sled.
"I don't mind pulling the sled." Chase said nonchalantly.
"What can I do to help Courtney, I didn't make the alphabet." Heather said smugly. Emma also climbed in the sled soon after.
"Ooh, is this a whip? Also, a second one?" Emma asked, pulling a whip out of the sled as a devious grin got on her face as with Heather's as well.
With Team Style, Eva and Jo managed to get to their team's sled first in a tie. "I beat you here." Jo boasted.
"Bet I can do the sled better than you." Eva said annoyed as both women glared at each other.
Confessional- Eva
"Jo is the biggest rival for who is the most athletic on the team. I know I am better than her, she just won't admit it."
Back To Scene
Blaineley stepped in, "Regardless, both of you have made it for your team first so you will be the dogs and will pull this sled."
"Oh great, we get the radioactive one." Jo said annoyed.
Brick and Bowie soon ran up to the scene and got on the sled as Eva spoke up "Look, just be glad Izzy isn't here for this she probably would have dove into the box looking for a radio or something."
"Hearing that makes me feel better about her leaving last time." Bowie said as Brick nodded his head.
"Agreed." Brick stated. "Radioactive stuff is dangerous."
Over at Team Victory DJ and Brody finally got the straps on successfully "There finally." DJ sighed.
"Let's go guys!" Jasmine yelled out.
"Yes, Team Victory takes the lead." Leshawna cheered out.
"Wait, how does this harness thing even work?" Courtney asked out loud.
"Not a word DJ, don't say a word." Leshawna said.
"Yeah, we have a lead, let's not lose it." Jasmine said.
"Nice sportsmanship Leshawna" Heather called out. "Try not to think about your mother too much DJ." Heather said which made DJ cry some more
"Ugh, that girl seriously gets on my last nerve." Leshawna said angrily about Heather.
"Can't imagine she is fun being on a team with." Jasmine said as the camera showed Team Victory pulling away. Unfortunately for Team Amazon things weren't looking better as Eva and Jo were able to very quickly get their harnesses on and pulled away while Courtney was still struggling with hers.
Heather, who didn't want to waste any more time, decided to use one of the whips on Courtney. "Hey, you can't just aah!" Courtney yelled out as Heather kept using the whip with Emma following Heather's lead and whipping Chase.
"Mush! Mush!" Heather and Emma cried out at the same time as Courtney and Chase began pulling the sled.
"Will anyone survive the coldest challenge in Total Drama history?" Chris asked the camera.
"Place your bets, cross your fingers the results after this." Blaineley concluded.
Yukon Wild
Cody was walking shivering in the cold trying to keep himself warm even as his body felt like it was going to freeze over completely. "Just keep going." Cody told himself, unfortunately for him Sierra popped up in front of him "Wah! How did you find me?" Cody cried out.
Sierra grabbed Cody and held onto him despite him hoping for her not too, "It's rather easy, I just followed your footprints. You're a size 7 and your right foot really pronates."
"Great, can you please let go of me? Also, you should not know my shoe size" Cody asked. "I never told you that stuff. Or anyone that stuff."
"I've studied what your foot size was during the first season." Sierra explained.
Zoey, Kitty and Mickey via riding piggyback on Zoey were able to catch up to Sierra and Cody with all of them gasping at what they saw. "Sierra what the heck are you doing?" Zoey asked.
"My Cody just needed a hug to warm up." Sierra explained.
"I need a restraining order." Cody said out loud in a muffled tone.
"He doesn't look good at all." Kitty noted.
"Well duh, we're in the Yukon and it's freezing." Sierra stated in an obvious tone.
"No, he looks visibly uncomfortable right now. Just put him down please." Mickey said as Cody mouthed, help me to all of them.
"Please, just leave us alone." Sierra cried out as she and a fetal position Cody that she was holding ran off course, despite Cody not wanting that. "We will always be together. Cody."
"Oh great. She's lost her damn mind." Mickey stated.
This turn of actions just made Zoey sigh in annoyance. Kitty, noticing her teammate's annoyed look, decided to take matters into her own hands "Look Mickey and I will chase her down, so she doesn't do anything stupid, just stay here by the flagpole and checkpoint." Kitty said. "I don't know what has gotten into that girl."
"No, I don't mind helping you guys." Zoey protested.
"I know you don't mind but look who's coming." Kitty noted turning Zoey's head and she blushed seeing Topher within eyesight. "Exactly." Kitty said smirking before realizing that Cody and Sierra were going to be out of eyesight soon and Mickey needed help as well reaching them, "Oh no. look stay here I will be right back. Let's go Mickey." Kitty called out as she gave him a piggyback ride.
Zoey just sighed at the whole predicament as Topher walked up, "Hey Zoey, what's wrong?" he asked in a charming tone of voice.
"Sierra has gone off the deep end and has gone even crazier than normal." Zoey stated. "Cody is frozen solid, and oh my gosh this whole team is falling apart!"
"I mean it looks horrible for us, but we need to be optimistic." Topher said. "Look, I was wondering if you wanted to work together in this game?" Topher asked. "If this team falls apart if we have each other as allies it will be at least something stable."
"Yes! I mean yes." Zoey excitedly said. "Why might I ask?"
"I don't know, it just seems like we work well together. Oh, and about Sierra, yeah, she is crazy. Did you hear her talking about Chris and the autobiography she has planned for him." Topher explained.
"No, I didn't, Kitty told me to stay here on the course, but I am tempted to go after them. Her and Mickey are chasing Sierra down." Zoey lamented.
"Look, let's just stay here, the sled will hopefully be by any second to pick us up. Besides, we aren't Mickey who can't feel cold or heat, so let's just enjoy the moment as best as we can." Topher said as the camera flashed away as Topher told Zoey about Mickey.
Checkpoint #1
The scene flashed to show Gwen standing at one of the polls with Duncan, as Gwen began to speak "Okay now that we have some alone time, I need to ask you something Duncan." Gwen stated.
"Yes?!" Duncan said, a bit excited, more than he should have.
"Have you and Courtney talked things out since Egypt and everything that went down there?" Gwen asked as her mind was on what Duncan said during the song he sang in Egypt.
"No, we haven't yet, pasty. You're on a team with her. Couldn't you talk to her?" Duncan stated annoyed thinking about Courtney.
"Yeah, but all she is doing is bickering with Heather about being leader for this team, I am pretty sure our team is doing fine even if the new girl Zoey wouldn't make the worst leader." Gwen stated. "But back to my point. You guys should talk it out, not her and I."
Before Duncan could protest however, Courtney, Heather, Chase, and Emma showed up with both Heather and Emma whipping the sled dogs.
"Woah Courtney! Woah!" Heather protested as Gwen hopped on the sled. Heather whipped Courtney again as soon as Gwen hopped on.
"Stop whipping me!" Courtney yelled.
"I'd love to, but this obviously makes you go faster." Heather explained.
"Duncan, tell her to stop." Courtney asked her boyfriend to do so.
Duncan looked over to Gwen who shrugged her shoulders in indifference towards the whole scene as she didn't exactly care for either Courtney or Heather. Before anyone could say anything, Chase took off running, shocking his teammates and Duncan at the sight as it was shown Emma was whipping him. Yet when the camera panned to Chase he was shown with a sly smile on his face.
Duncan just sighed at the sight in front of him "Should probably keep going now that Gwen's not here."
Confessional- Courtney
"Heather whipping me with a whip. That's one thing. She is so getting it. But Duncan not immediately stopping her? What type of boyfriend does that?"
Confessional- Gwen
"Duncan should talk things out with Courtney but since Courtney doesn't like me, I am not going to force the two to talk things out, and I'm just going to continue to do my own thing."
Confessional- Chase
"I don't mind getting whipped and getting whipped by Emma? Ooh boy that is making me feel happy. (eyes widen) this confessional will hopefully not air. Heh."
Team Style's Sled
Jo and Eva were dragging the sled at a good pace with Brick and Bowie watching "Yo piss pants and style pants if you see any of our teammates call out." Jo said out loud.
"Ooh there's Jo and Eva." Bowie said sarcastically.
"She means other than us doofus." Eva said angrily.
"I know, just having fun." Bowie said, annoyed. Soon enough Duncan and Julia both showed up to their team sleds.
"Duncan and Julia are on the vessel." Brick reported.
"Great." Jo said dryly. "We still have over half the team to find; ooh I see Dave and Sky up ahead."
The camera panned over to Sky and Dave who were shown talking, "So let me get this straight, your dream is to be an Olympian?" Dave asked, completely enchanted by Sky.
"Yeah, it's probably a lame goal but it's mine, heh. It's a dream my boyfriend Keith is apprehensive towards" Sky said.
"Oh, you have a boyfriend?" Dave asked not hiding his disappointment.
"Yeah, I do and I oh. I'm sorry Dave did I make you think we could be together?" Sky asked back.
"No, no I mean I had a small bit of hope, but I don't want to be a homewrecker, and thanks for being upfront." Dave said.
"Oh no problem. The cold right now just makes me think of him." Sky noted. Before the conversation could continue Team Stye's sled pulled up.
"Do you guys need a lift?" Julia asked as Sky and Dave joined with Trent and Jen joining a few seconds later.
"Let's go guys." Jen yelled out eagerly.
Confessional- Sky
"This girls alliance is great to have, but having Dave as an extra ally is great to have. Also, glad that right away we cleared things up. I don't talk about Keith a bunch but it's great Dave was understanding and now both of us can work together in this game."
Confessional- Jo
"Seeing Sky talking to Dave. Yeah, she needs to keep her head straight about the alliance, (eyebrows raise) and I have just the idea to make sure."
Team Victory's Sled
Leshawna, Jasmine, Brody and DJ were shown in the sled as they saw Lindsay, Beth, and Shawn all at one of the posts. "Guys get in." Leshawna called out as all three of them got in.
"Okay so we have seven of us here. Almost halfway there. Who are we missing?" Shawn asked.
"Millie, Damien, Harold, Geoff, Bridgette, Ezekiel, Cameron, and Tyler." Beth stated. Unfortunately, at that moment DJ started crying some more.
"Oh my gosh would you forget your mama's freezer already?" Leshawna asked, annoyed.
"His momma's freezer?" Beth asked.
"I just need to get my emotions out." DJ yelled back.
"Ugh, anyway. I am shocked that Harold's not here. He wasn't too far behind Jasmine and I during the first part of the challenge." Leshawna said.
"He isn't the strongest physically." Jasmine said.
"Ooh speaking of Harold." Lindsay began, "How have things been since the kiss in Egypt between you guys?" she asked.
"Awkward to say the least. I don't know Lindsay; I just don't want to enter a relationship with him just to break his heart." Leshawna said as everyone looked at her in sympathy.
Meeting Post #2
Alejandro had luckily caught up with Sadie off screen and arrived at a meeting point with her "Look, a meeting point, we can wait here."
Sadie however looked unsure, "I should go and see if Katie's around. I feel bad for lashing out at her."
Alejandro noticed Sadie wasn't sure and knew he had her right where he wanted her "Save your strength, I am sure she is fine, cold? Take my shirt, besides my Latin blood prevents me from freezing. Besides, if you got sick and your team votes you off, I won't get to know you for you Sadie and that would make me very sad." Alejandro said with a lot of fake sympathy.
"I don't want to make you sad Alejandro. Okay I'll stay." Sadie said cheerfully.
Confessional- Sadie
"I mean who would ever give their shirt in the arctic. He is just so perfect. It's impossible to explain."
Meeting Post #3
Bridgette and Geoff were shown standing next to the poll, and both began making out since they had some alone time, and they figured no harm. However, Bridgette was lacking passion and soon pushed away from Geoff.
"Bridge, babe, what's wrong?" Geoff asked.
"It's just that I am trying to keep my head in the game Geoff, even making out now it makes me worried we will get booted like last season." Bridgette said sadly.
"Babe, we are by ourselves, don't worry. Does this have to do with Alejandro?" Geoff asked. At the drop of Alejandro's name Bridgette's eyes instantly rose up.
"No, I would never cheat on you Geoff." Bridgette quickly denied.
"I didn't say cheat. I just asked about another man." Geoff defended.
Before the awkward conversation could get any worse, luckily for them Team Victory came over and picked them up. Unfortunately, everyone could sense the awkwardness that was Geoff and Bridgette at that moment.
Finish Line
The camera cut to Blaineley and Chris standing in their winter gear by the finish line "Status report, Team Amazon has Courtney, Chase, Emma, Heather, Gwen and new development that Ella and Scott just joined their team's sled." Chris announced.
"While on Team Style, Brick, Jo, Eva, Bowie, Julia, Duncan, Dave, Sky, Trent, and Jen on the sled." Blaineley stated.
"For Team Victory they might get a victory as they have DJ, Brody, Geoff, Bridgette, Leshawna, Lindsay, Shawn, Jasmine, and Beth on the sled." Chris said.
"So, here's where we stand folks Team Amazon has 9 teammates to pick up, Team Style has 5 to pick up and Victory has 6, Can Team Amazon pull a come from behind victory again?" Blaineley asked.
"Well let's not wait and let's get back to the action." Chris stated.
Team Victory Sled
Leshawna was telling a story to Beth and Lindsay while Geoff and Bridgette sat awkwardly while Jasmine and Shawn watched the snow from behind.
"So, Harold told me during Action I was some goddess which is one of the reasons why he and I should be together." Leshawna said.
"Totally." Beth said, enthralled by the story.
"He is such a goofball." Lindsay said laughing.
"I know right." Leshawna said, chuckling.
"Hey girls." DJ yelled out.
"Quiet, we're talking." Leshawna said.
"Yeah, I love finding out more about Harold and Leshawna." Lindsay responded.
"They are so adorable." Beth awed.
At that moment, the aforementioned Harold and Damien showed up and got on the sled as Damien spoke up "I'm thankful you guys were going slow enough for both of us to catch up. Also, we are way off course as Harold and I saw you guys from afar."
"What do you mean we are off course?" Shawn asked.
Beth stood up and looked around "Wait a minute how slow are we going?" Then she noticed Brody walking with DJ. "Guys why are we going so slow?" she asked.
"Wait, I am confused, where are we? I don't see any markers." Shawn stated. "We are off course BAD!"
"Yo, Brody, DJ. What is going on?" Leshawna asked
"DJ kept crying so his tears froze his eyes shut." Brody said. "He has been like this for the last ten minutes."
"Why didn't you say something?!" Leshawna asked, shocked.
"I tried but you kept shushing us." Brody explained.
"But how are we so far off course?" Damien asked.
"Oh I didn't pay attention to what the markers were." Brody said as everyone sans Bridgette, Geoff, and DJ glared at him as he chuckled nervously.
Team Amazon Sled
Over at Team Amazon sled they were just about to pick up Anne-Maria, "Man this cold is not for me whatsoever or my hair, at all."
Courtney however rolled her eyes at Anne Maria's complaining, "Toughen up, I am the one pushing the sled and getting a whip in my face."
Before Anne-Maria could say anything, Ella spoke up. "Chase, Courtney, slow down, we are about to hit a baby seal!" Ella said urgently.
Luckily, they managed to break just in time as Chase walked up to the seal. "Aw isn't this guy just the cutest." Chase said, looking at it. "It would make a great stunt double." Chase said which made everyone tense up as the seal growled and jumped on Chase's head. "OW! My HAIR!"
Chase began running crazy in circles making the sled go round and round due to him being in pain. "Quick, someone, think or do something." Heather yelled out. "I'm getting motion sickness!"
Ella began to hum which luckily got the seal to calm down and get off Chase's head and leave. "Much better." Gwen said as Ella's humming made things better.
"Okay, no one's hurt. Get back on the course, Courtney." Heather yelled out with the whip.
"Maybe I would focus if I wasn't getting a whip in my face." Courtney protested.
"I don't mind getting whipped right babe?" Chase suggested as every lady present looked at him in disgust at his comment.
"Chase, you disgust me!" Emma yelled out, shocked Chase actually said that.
"He is an absolute pig." Anne Maria said to herself.
Luckily for Team Amazon, Katie showed up next to the sled. However, Gwen was the first to notice something was off, "Wait Katie, where's Sadie? You guys are always together."
"Alejandro and Sadie are together right now. So romantic right?" Katie asked.
"Interesting." Heather said as she was in thought of what Katie said. "Let's move on and win this challenge. We still have six teammates to pick up."
"I also don't want to be the only guy here." Chase said which got everyone to glare at him as Scott was annoyed that Chase didn't notice him "Oh I forgot Scott was here." Chase said trying to sound cool.
Meeting Post #2
Alejandro and Sadie were waiting for their teams when Team Style came over within eyesight "Well I guess this is my ride, but I can't leave you all alone here. Sadie." Alejandro said feigning concern.
"Go on Alejandro! I will race you to the finish!" Sadie said excitedly.
"Maybe we have time for one more accident." Alejandro said seductively to Sadie. Despite Sadie telling herself not too she tried to lean in for a kiss for Alejandro but unfortunately it wasn't a Latin teen she kissed, it was a frozen pole that instantly stuck her tongue to it.
"Hwat, oh cwap!" Sadie yelled out. As Alejandro jumped on the sled, but his actions didn't go unnoticed by his teammates specifically Justin and Bowie both of whom looked at Alejandro with raised eyebrows.
Confessional- Justin
"Do I really care that Alejandro tried to kiss Sadie? No, she is annoying. But I could have sworn it looked deliberate that he left her on the pole?"
Confessional- Bowie
"Alejandro thinks that is sly but while he has a body to die for, he is clearly a villain. His ego will be his downfall. But as long as my team wins, I am fine. But I do have my eye on him."
Yukon Wilderness
Team Amazon came to a stop and saw Topher and Zoey at one of the meeting points. "Come on guys, get in." Gwen yelled out.
Scott however was looking around. "Wait a minute Zoey, weren't you with Kitty, Mickey, Sierra, and Cody?" Scott asked as the rest of the team was scanning the area.
"I was, but Sierra is crazy." Zoey explained.
"Okay Sierra is a bit nutty, but where are they?" Heather asked, impatiently.
"Um, take a look over there. Just over the horizon." Topher said, pointing far away.
"Wait a minute, what the heck?" Heather asked until she saw all of her teammate's way off course, "Oh they are so dead. Forget the whip. Courtney, Chase please aim right for them as this is ridiculous, this is bullshit." Heather ordered.
"Right away!" Chase yelled out.
"Oh, and when I say Sierra is crazy, she threw an ice block at Gwen and has been holding Cody like a trophy. This has been going on for over 2 hours now." Zoey further said as the sled made a mad dash to the chaos that was ensuing as everyone could tell people like Heather and Courtney were angry at what was going on.
"I can go all day!" Sierra yelled out as she was still running in the snow away from Kitty and Mickey. Unfortunately for Sierra she got a taste of her own medicine as she was hit in the head with a spray tan can, courtesy of Anne Maria that instantly knocked her out cold.
"That should shut her up!" Anne Maria said angrily retrieving her spray can.
"Th-thanks guys." Kitty said, exhausted.
"Don't thank us yet, Anne-Maria go get Sierra, everyone needs to get in the sled." Zoey yelled out exhausted herself watching what happened for the last half hour.
"Yes Red!" Anne Maria said in an annoyed tone.
"Uh guys. Cody doesn't look good." Ella noted as Cody was shivering still in the sled.
"He fell in the water early and has early stages of hypothermia." Mickey said.
"Head straight for the finish line, let's go!" Scott said out loud as even despite his devious nature he didn't want Cody to suffer and possibly die.
Team Style's Sled
Unfortunately for Team Style, Eva and Jo were getting impatient. They had every team member sans both Owen and Noah. "We have been looking for those two doofuses for 2 hours now." Jo yelled out.
"Even Katie and her horrible sense of direction couldn't get anyone this lost." Eva noted.
"Wait there, they are up just ahead." Jen pointed out unfortunately neither of them looked good.
"Woah Owen what happened to your eye?" Duncan asked in concern.
"What happened to your eye Noah?" Also, what is that horrific smell?" Jen asked in disgust.
"Also why does Owen have a teddy bear?" Trent asked.
"The teddy bear is to help Owen's fear of flying and I am pretty sure Owen, and I are wanted criminals as we got the stuffing beat out of us by some townspeople in a village nearby as we ran away, oh and our camera crew got taken away. That's all I am going to say about it though." Noah explained as he got on the sled.
Unfortunately for them, Team Victory moved on ahead in sight with Millie now in the sled as Team Victory cheered at their uptick in momentum due to DJ sucking up and running despite the condition of his eyes. "Go Team Victory!" Harold cheered out.
"Vamanos! Ladies." Alejandro cried out as Eva and Jo took off again.
Meeting Point #2
Blaineley showed up in her sled to see Sadie left at the pole still trying to get her tongue "Oh my gosh how did this happen?"
"I was kissing Alejandro and somehow the pole got in the way!" Sadie said, muffled.
"This all sounds fascinating, but it would be better if it was done in song." Blaineley said as the bell rang.
"What no!" Sadie said.
At that moment Team Victory showed up "Hello backup singers." Blaineley announced.
Most of Team Victory groaned. "Dang it, I thought you forgot the musical number like in Japan." Millie noted.
"Don Strauss said in Japan it wasn't necessary but this time it is. If it makes you feel any better, it's only the ladies that need to be backup singers. Hit it!"
Sadie began the song "The strings on my heart are a tangled mess."
Bridgette, Jasmine, Leshawna on one side with Millie, Beth, and Lindsay on the other side provided back up with the first three on the left side of the screen and the other three on the right side of the screen throughout the whole song "Ooh mess."
"It's beating so hard it's jumping out of my chest."
"Ooh chest!"
"I tried to fit the man in my soul!"
"Ooh soul!"
"I ended up STUCK TO A POLE!"
"She got stuck, should have ducked worse of luck, stuck, stuck to a pole."
"I fell for every little thing that he said."
"Ooh said."
"When I closed my eyes, he jumped on a sled."
"Ooh sled."
"He moved on. I am still stuck in this place."
"Ooh place."
"Would someone pull warm water down my face!"
"She got stuck, worse of luck should have ducked, stuck, stuck to a pole. Stuck, stuck, stuck, to a pole!"
At that moment Cameron and Ezekiel walked in on the scene both luckily hearing the singing. "What happened here eh." Ezekiel asked.
"I don't know what that was. But I like it!" Shawn said, looking directly in Jasmine's direction mesmerized.
"Very nice ladies." Blaineley noted.
"I mean it, my face is starting to freeze." Sadie cried out.
"Team Victory go away." Blaineley said, shooing them away.
"Ha, don't have to tell me twice." Leshawna proudly said as she and many of Team Victory got back on their sled.
"Sorry Sadie." Bridgette called out as Team Victory soon left.
"As for you. You're a big girl. You can deal with it." Blaineley said leaving on her snowmobile which got Sadie to glare at her.
"I hate her." Sadie said in a muffled tone as the pole was still stuck to her.
Team Style's Sled
Team Style saw their lead continue to shrink as Team Victory was nowhere in sight and what made things worse was that Eva and Jo's shoes had lost all traction on the ice.
Not helping was Owen who had to go to the bathroom "Girls, get moving, I need to hit another bathroom, a river or something." Owen yelled out but this caused the ice that Team Style was on to break apart and send them nearly falling into the frozen river.
"I am too beautiful to freeze." Justin yelled out.
"This top is cold wash only, not frozen." Jen also screamed holding onto Trent.
Luckily for Team Style, Eva and Jo managed to react in time and held onto the ice with their fingers against all odds.
Confessional- Noah
"This is why I have to keep an eye on Owen at all times. He is a destructive walking ball of destruction!"
Team Victory's Sled
Lindsay and Beth were looking around at the horizon, "Oh my gosh guys there are no sleds around." Beth pointed out.
"Look, something that isn't snow." Lindsay called out. "The finish line."
"Oh man we really took the long way around didn't we." Leshawna noted.
"Do we have everyone?" Harold asked.
"I counted 14 of us last I checked, wait where's Tyler?" Cameron asked.
"Dead ahead." Lindsay yelled out as Tyler had managed to run very far into the snow but was without his shoes of which he was carrying.
"Get in Tyler!" Millie called out as Tyler jumped in the sled. "Also why were you not wearing shoes?"
"The shoes gave me no traction on the ice. What took you guys so long?" Tyler asked.
"It's a long story." Lindsay said, sitting down in the sled exhausted.
"Straight ahead boys! We got this." Leshawna called out as Team Victory cheered. "We're actually going to win a challenge today."
"Awesome guys!" Geoff cheered out as the camera flashed away.
Finish/End Of Challenge
Eva and Jo managed to together lift their team out of the potentially deadly incident, however both girls threw their sled way too fast and as such the sled was now leading and was dragging Eva and Jo from behind while everyone was cheering.
However, Noah noticed they were too far behind until he had an idea "OWEN LEAN FORWARD!" Noah yelled out. Luckily Owen did and managed to squeak out a first-place victory for his team with Team Victory in second and Team Amazon in last.
Heather was less than pleased. "LAST PLACE! I did all that work for nothing?!" Heather yelled out.
Chris however walked up. "Not so fast. You guys did finish last but count the number of people you have."
"1,2,3… Oh no." Topher realized. "Guys, we uh, we forgot Sadie."
"Congrats Team Style for an impressive first place finish none of you are going home. Team Victory takes second and Team Amazon regardless, if you finished first or not, since you didn't have Sadie, you will be sending someone home" Chris announced.
At the news of this Eva and Noah high fived, while people like Trent, Jen, Dave, and Sky cheered and Owen went to give Alejandro a high five.
"Al, buddy Al, don't leave me hanging Al." Owen said rapidly as Alejandro walked away. "Al?" Owen said before slumping his head in shame as Noah walked up.
"Don't feel bad." Noah said, walking up to his best friend. "I just hope my suspicions of him aren't true."
Confessional- Alejandro
"Someone who nearly sent me drowning an hour ago is not getting a high five from me. Hell, I don't want to acknowledge him."
Walk Back To Plane
As many of the contestants walked back to the plane Katie was most sad as she kept calling Sadie's name. Luckily near the end of the trek Team Amazon managed to find Sadie still stuck to a pole. Eva and Jo managed to get the pole out of the ground and off Sadie. Unfortunately for Sadie she had a bit of a lisp with the pole removed.
"Sadie what happened?" Ella asked.
"Alejandro, he did this!" Sadie said but it was still hard for people to understand her.
For other members of Team Amazon, the mood was somber, losing their first challenge, with Zoey taking it hard, "Today was a disaster of big proportions."
Topher, who was walking right alongside her, agreed "We will be lucky if we only get one person sent home." Topher noted. "I was wondering if we could work with Anne-Maria as well." Topher asked.
"I don't see why not." Zoey said before slightly flinching once Topher didn't see her.
Confessional- Topher
"Zoey's right today was so bad for our team. What went wrong? I have a whole list. Sadie got stuck to a pole, Heather and Emma kept whipping Chase and Courtney, Sierra went full blown psycho. Look as long as me, Zoey, and Anne Maria stay safe tonight, that's all that matters. Also please be a single elimination."
Common Area
In the common area, Gwen and Courtney sit at one of the tables. "Look, Courtney, I know you and I don't care for each other."
"Because you have the hots for my boyfriend." Courtney accused.
"I don't, but can we just agree tonight to send Heather home." Gwen asked. Scott was walking by and decided to talk to both girls.
"Courtney, Gwen, who are you guys thinking of sending home?" Scott asked, ready to set his own agenda in motion.
"Heather, who else?" Gwen stated, as if it was obvious.
"Wait why, she didn't do much wrong in the challenge." Scott noted.
"You haven't had to be on a team with her for three seasons in a row." Gwen noted.
"Or get whipped by her." Courtney said in anger.
"But where do you get the votes, the talk in the team is to send Sadie home or Sierra home for their actions." Scott explained.
"I am just going to say, if we let Heather get her claws in with this team, she will be unstoppable." Gwen said.
"But you can't get the votes on her, Cody wants Sierra out and probably Kitty and Mickey do. People are pissed at Sadie." Scott tried to say. "Look if you guys don't vote Heather, I can get her to not target you guys, I promise. I have influence over her."
"I'd like to see you try. It's Heather, she is so stubborn." Courtney said smugly, thinking she knew that Scott could not control Heather.
Cargo Hold
In the cargo hold Heather was shown walking back and forth. While the thrill of whipping Courtney made the challenge fun, she was now facing elimination and was nervous as could be. She then saw Zoey walking down into the cargo hold. "Heather, what's wrong?" Zoey asked.
"Just thinking about elimination is all. Nervous, my name is being brought up I have to assume." Heather stated.
"I don't think it is. Main targets seem to be Sierra and Sadie." Zoey said.
"Great, look I normally don't associate with people like you." Heather began to explain.
"Thanks?" Zoey asked unsure if she was being insulted.
"Don't mention it. I was wondering if maybe you wanted to work together, as you are one of the saner people on the team. I also have an alliance brewing with Sierra and-" Heather began to say until Zoey interrupted her.
"Nope. I am not working with Sierra after today. She is nuts. Like I think she gives Izzy a run for her money." Zoey said. "I would love to work with you but not her." Zoey said walking back up into the plane as Heather looked like she was thinking.
Confessional- Heather
"The good news is that I think I have laid some solid groundwork with people like Emma, Zoey, Scott and (sighs) Sierra. But Sierra is fast becoming a liability for both me and the team. I just hope that I am safe and that I end up on the right side of the vote."
Elimination Ceremony
Blaineley had a less than impressed look as she began the elimination ceremony "Where do we start? What happened to the group of 12 women and 4 men that managed two wins in a row?" Blaineley asked.
Courtney was the first to speak up "It was disappointing and humiliating. I feel like the common denominator in us struggling is Heather" she sighed.
"Kitty, talk to me, what's going on with this team," Blaineley asked.
"We are unfocused. It's a mess and we need to cut some dead weight." Kitty said.
"Oh, and let me remind you no one stepped up to the plate to really lead this team. You guys provide some great ratings, but your team is going down. Anyone else got something to say?" Blaineley said.
"This is what needs to happen, is that the attitudes need to be adjusted." Anne-Maria said, "I'm pissed."
"I will say at least I didn't make out with a pole. Sadie!" Chase said, getting his two cents into the conversation.
"It was Alejandro!" Sadie yelled out but it seemed like no one could still understand her.
"Okay here's how this works, one at a time each of you will go into the booth and vote for the person you want out. Katie you are up." Blaineley announced.
Confessional- Katie
"I just can't see my best friend leave."
Confessional- Emma
(stamps Chase's passport) "Man, even his picture looks stupid."
Confessional- Cody
"I can't spend another second with Sierra here."
Confessional- Scott
"Sorry, it's for the best." (stamps unknown passport)
Confessional- Courtney
"Both have reasons to go, but this move is my own and no one else's so I voted tonight for-"
Back To Elimination Ceremony
Blaineley had a plate of marshmallows ready "Mm delicious, tasty marshmallows for 15 of you. Safe with no votes are Scott, Heather-"
"Wait, I got no votes?" Heather said as Courtney and Gwen glared at Heather.
"Yep, you did now be quiet. Topher, Katie, Emma, Gwen, Ella, Zoey, Anne Maria, Courtney, Cody, and Mickey are also all safe with no votes. The remaining 4 of you please step forward as you each received at least one vote."
"Good luck." Katie said to Sadie sadly.
"Okay, reasons for each of you to go home, Sierra you lifted and dragged Cody around today like a rag doll." Blaineley explained.
"I take offense to that." Sierra said offended.
"I don't care. Sadie, you got your tongue stuck to a pole. Kitty you tried chasing Sierra down in the challenge and Chase you are not well liked by your teammates. Two of you are safe with one vote a piece. Kitty and Chase, it's you two are safe. Here are your marshmallows." Blaineley announced.
"Thank you!" Kitty yelled out.
"Sadie and Sierra the vote tonight was 9 to 5, the player leaving Total Drama World Race is…..
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
… Sadie." Blaineley announced. "Sierra, here's your marshmallow." Blaineley explained throwing a marshmallow to Sierra, "Sadie, any final words?"
"Guys please listen to me. Alejandro is evil, he did this to me." Sadie said and as soon as Sadie said that Katie gasped.
"Oh, how sad would you look at the time. Time for you to go, Sadie." Blaineley said throwing the parachute bag at her which threw her out of the plane before she could explain any more.
Confessional- Courtney
"At the end of the day I decided to get rid of Sadie as she wasn't a strong link for the team. At least Sierra helped us win in Egypt, so she has some use. I just wish the votes were there to send Heather out. I also wish Scott wouldn't defend her, (pause) for the game of course."
Confessional- Sierra
"Being on the brink of elimination is the scariest thing ever. But I am so excited to see where we go next! I wonder who voted for me? As long as it wasn't my Cody that's all that matters."
Confessional- Topher
"Ultimately Zoey, Anne Maria and I decided to get rid of Sadie, well Anne-Maria protested but we outvoted her 2 to 1 so we all agreed."
Confessional- Alejandro
"Ah Sadie, she's expendable. Everyone here is but trust me one by one they will all fall down and while some may pose a challenge, I have everything possible to make me the winner. Katie will go in due time, but I imagine she's a wreck without her precious little Sadie."
Confessional- Katie
"Alejandro did this! I left Sadie with Alejandro, and I could tell she was saying Alejandro. It should have been me in that spot, if I didn't listen to Alejandro, Sadie would still be here. Oh my gosh! I plan to win this for you Sadie and if I don't, I will expose Alejandro for the liar and cheat he is. I won't give up. I can't."
48th- Lorenzo (Team Style, 15-1 vote, Episode 2)
47th- Laurie (Team Victory, 14-2 vote, Episode 2)
46th- Izzy (Team Style, 10-5 vote, Episode 3)
45th- Sadie (Team Amazon, 9-5-1-1 vote, Episode 4)
Votes
Sadie- 9 (Heather, Courtney, Gwen, Scott, Topher, Anne Maria, Chase, Zoey, Ella)
Sierra- 5 (Cody, Katie, Sadie, Mickey, Kitty)
Chase- 1 (Emma)
Kitty- 1 (Sierra)
Notes:
So, with that Sadie takes the fall in Yukon. Sadie was another character I had as an early boot. I ultimately knew I wanted her to be a victim of Alejandro's schemes especially as I had more plans for Bridgette as well and I knew I needed one of Katie or Sadie to go to kick start the others' plot which you should seeds form for it in the following episode and Sadie was someone I didn't see as much potential with.
Now for this specific chapter and what I can talk about. So, first off, the sled pullers, I knew I wanted to have two per team. For Team Amazon I knew I needed to have Courtney pull the sled but I also couldn't have Heather pull so I had to look alphabetically and when I realized I could put Chase as the second puller and have him getting whipped by Emma but actually liking it? Yeah, there was no other option.
For Team Style, without Tyler on that team I had to think creatively, and I ultimately decided on Jo and Eva to kind of offset the fact that Team Style is so male dominated yet it's the two women pulling the sled.
For Team Victory I decided DJ as canon with the tears crying, but I decided Brody to join him as he would be a bit aloof and Tyler not pulling the sled made him not stand out. This episode was also a goal for one of his stories this season.
Now for the baby seal, and animal curse, I kind of wanted it to be an almost hit, only for Chase to bumble it up and get himself hurt.
Oh, and I would be remiss to not mention the toy shop village scene. This was a scene I came up completely on my own as a pure comedy scene of miscommunication.
Next chapter is the New York episode where there will be another bonus scene I have planned. Another shocking blindside and the 5th player is eliminated.
Stay tuned for all that but until then. Have a good time and a great day if you are reading this and goodbye.
Chapter 6: Broadway Baby
Summary:
The remaining 44 players make it to New York. As many climb the Statue of Liberty, 4 people go on a New York shopping spree for an advantage, one contestant pokes at the host and drives him crazy. A boost in confidence and an act of a sabotage, sends one person's game on a downward spiral, and the 5th player is sent home, and a huge argument happens after the elimination.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Broadway Baby
Recap
Chris started the recap, "The Yukon, Canada's frozen wonderland. Here our contestants learned the thrill of ice flow jumping and sled dog racing."
Blaineley continued on "On Team Style, after suffering two devastating losses, this team came swinging with Eva and Jo pulling the sled and despite some setbacks from Owen and Noah including them getting banned from a village. They managed to work together to a first-place finish. On Team Victory, Leshawna began to confront her feelings towards Harold with herself, while DJ cried and slowed his team down big time."
Chris continued on "But on Team Amazon they were a disaster from start to finish. Cody nearly drowned. Sierra saved him, and along with Mickey and Kitty got way off course due to Sierra's affection for Cody. That girl is not right."
Blaineley continued on "You said it Chris, but the biggest blunder came from Sadie who let Alejandro lead her off course and eventually got her tongue stuck to a pole. Too bad we couldn't understand except maybe her BFF, Katie. So, it was Sadie who became the fourth contestant to take the drop of shame."
Chris finished the recap "4 have been eliminated, 44 remain, who will be eliminated tonight?"

(End Of Intro)
First Class
The scene showed Brick, Jo, and Alejandro eating food eagerly in a component with the seats, as Brick cheered out "First class rocks!"
"We're eating the breakfast of champions!" Alejandro noted looking at his food happily.
Jo was the next to comment, "Brick didn't you drink a lot of water before you had this food?"
"Yes Ma'am." Brick stated before his eyes widened. "Make way, bathroom!" Brick yelled out running to the nearest bathroom before he peed his pants.
"Great now that twinkle cadet is not here, I need to talk to you." Jo said to Alejandro.
"Yes chica?" Alejandro said. "What is it that you are wondering?"
"We are bound to lose again, and I am just thinking of who to eliminate from the team that would be the biggest dead weight." Jo explained.
"I have my own ideas on who is the biggest dead weight for the team, here let's say them at the same time, 1…2…..3." Alejandro said.
"Dave." Jo stated excitedly.
"Owen." Alejandro stated. Both looked at each other awkwardly for a second when Alejandro decided to back off. "Getting rid of Dave is fine."
"Glad to see you see it that way." Jo stated confidently.
The camera then panned over to Julia and Jen who were enjoying shoulder massages in first class. "Oh yeah, that's the spot." Jen said in a hypnotic trance.
"This is life, I never want to leave first class." Julia stated. "This place is so cute." Julia said in a fake valley girl tone.
The camera next panned over to the bar section of first class with Bowie and Duncan sitting on stools talking "So it was late at night last season and Gwen was feeling down about the whole Trent situation." Duncan began to explain.
"Uh huh." Bowie said uninterested.
"So I asked her if she wanted to hoist everyone's underwear up the flagpole on the set last season. You should have seen the look on her face, it was like all her sadness was gone for a bit." Duncan said excitedly.
"That's great. Look if you don't mind me asking. Do you have any recent special moments with Courtney?" Bowie asked.
"Of course, there's uh. Something. Just give me time to think." Duncan said, which got Bowie to raise his eyebrows.
Confessional- Bowie
"Yeah Duncan is lying. It is obvious to anyone. He doesn't love Courtney, he loves Gwen, and I am gonna be the one to steer him into breaking up with Courtney. Mainly to cause some extra drama here. What? I'm bored."
Back To First Class
Trent and Noah were shown walking around the first class compartment, "Noah, great idea getting Owen that stuffed bear to calm him down." Trent complimented.
"It is great, but I will probably never be allowed in that village ever again." Noah noted. "At least Owen is sleeping without us having to tie him down."
The camera showed Owen sleeping on one of the couches, before falling over revealing a disturbed Dave underneath. "Finally! Thanks for not noticing I was missing last night! Why didn't any of you notice me?" Dave yelled out.
"Sorry Dave." Trent said meekly.
"What am I, Tyler?" Dave yelled out.
Economy Section
As if on cue the scene flashed to the economy section showing Team Victory on one side looking down and defeated. Specifically DJ, Leshawna, Beth, Millie and Lindsay who were all seated together. None of them were happy that 3 challenges so far they had never won a challenge and seemed to be destined for second place. "How are we supposed to win when our spirits are low girls?" DJ asked. "It feels like economy class is our second home at this point."
Leshawna was trying to be optimistic. "Maybe today's the day we win the challenge."
"It would be nice to be in First Class." Millie said.
"That's the spirit." Beth said excitedly. "We aren't quitters."
"My BFF is right, we are fighters and winners!" Lindsay said.
"That's more like it. Both of you got fire in your eyes." Millie said.
"Yeah we do, our luck is bound to turn around for the better." Beth said, sounding excited.
Confessional- Beth
"Coming into this season I wanna prove that making it to end last season and winning wasn't a fluke and that I do deserve to be here."
Confessional- Lindsay
"I bought a season's worth of lip gloss and I have only finished two tubes between Beth and I. No way am I going home yet."
Back To Economy Class
The mood was starting to lift up for Team Victory, however Harold approached the group in question and one could tell he was feeling down.
"What's wrong Harold?" Beth asked.
"I just, I just have a lot on my mind. Gosh!" Harold yelled out walking away, further confusing his teammates.
''What's his problem?" DJ asked.
"Wouldn't be shocked if it had to do with Ezekiel." Millie observed.
"Why Ezekiel?" Lindsay asked.
"I've noticed he has a certain levels of malice towards Ezekiel." Millie said, as she looked sadly at the ground.
Confessional- Harold
"I don't wanna throw a challenge, not at all. I would never do something like that. But I am so annoyed as it's the worst of both worlds. I don't get to enjoy first class and we don't lose in last place, so I have to deal with Ezekiel here."
Other Side of Economy Class
Heather was looking around annoyed. "What is that horrible smell?"
"Defeat, Heather. That would be defeat." Gwen stated.
"Maybe we would have won if you and Emma didn't think it was such a great idea to whip Chase and I." Courtney snarked.
"Ugh, that is not true. I gave you motivation, and besides Sadie cost us the challenge last time. Not me." Heather snapped back.
"Maybe she did, but you weren't any help. Ugh!" Courtney protested in anger.
"Don't worry Courtney next time we lose Heather is done for. I'm voting her off." Gwen stated in front of Heather.
"I'll gladly join you. It would be great if we could whip her off." Courtney protested.
Confessional- Heather
"Whip me off? If Courtney and Gwen think they can so easily dispose of me, they have another thing coming. I just need to suck up to the teammates that aren't those two and prove my worth to the team."
Back To Economy Class
Heather walked up to Sierra, Cody, Kitty and Mickey. Sierra was rubbing Cody's feet to keep him warm while Kitty and Mickey looked on making sure Cody wasn't too uncomfortable. Mickey was worried for his friend Cody's safety "You uh, don't look comfortable Cody, at all."
"Nonsense." Sierra said. "My precious little Cody just needs more warming up and whenever Cody gets cold feet he'll think of me."
"No kidding." Cody said clearly not enjoying what was going on. "But can you please stop touching me? Is it too much to ask?"
"She isn't going to listen to you." Mickey said.
"She never does." Cody told Mickey as he winced at Sierra.
Confessional- Kitty
"So, after the last challenge me and shockingly Mickey have decided to be by Cody's side as much as possible, so Sierra doesn't do anything crazy. I like Cody like a brother I never had. I just wish Sierra would know when to back off."
Back To Scene
Heather walked up to them and began the conversation "Hey guys, have I ever said I valued our friendship?"
"Heather, you have only spoken to me 3 times in my life." Cody stated annoyed, "What do you want?".
"Aw thanks Heather, I also value our friendship. Hug?" Sierra asked.
"Saying it should be enough. Actually, Sierra, do you mind getting us some snacks in the break room?" Heather asked, changing the subject.
"Sure thing. I will find things Cody likes." Sierra stated, happily running off.
"What was that all about?" Cody asked, now more confused than angry at Heather.
"Look, Sierra is a problem for this team," Heather said.
"Geeze, tell us something we don't know." Kitty said.
"Oh shut it. Look, I do genuinely want to work with you and I plan to prove it." Heather said.
"Why should we trust you after everything that happened during Season 1?" Cody asked.
"I will vote Sierra out along with you guys next time. I am sorry I didn't last time, I was told to vote off Sadie. As for why you should trust me, after someone gets their head shaved and is shunned for most of the second season, it makes you appreciate life a little bit more." Heather stated thinking back to Season 2. "If I do help you guys get rid of Sierra please repay me back." Heather stated as she walked away.
Cody, Kitty and Mickey were shocked at what transpired with Heather especially Cody since he was on the first season with her. "Wow." Cody said to himself.
"I uh, I wonder if she's telling the truth." Mickey said looking at his two closest allies as he was unsure.
"I mean, I saw the first season and Heather was ruthless." Kitty stated.
"But she could be desperate for allies and Heather looked genuine talking about her head getting shaved. I just don't think I have it in me to vote out Gwen for her." Cody said, looking out the window as Mickey and Kitty looked at Cody with concern.
In another part of the economy section, Katie was shown sulking looking down at the ground. "I miss her so much." Katie told herself.
Confessional- Katie
"Losing Sadie in the game especially so early is one of the hardest things ever and it is all thanks to Alejandro. I don't know how she did it in Season 1 and managed to stay sane. I miss you Sadie!"
Back To Scene
Katie continued to look down at the ground until Ella approached her "Hey is this seat taken?" Ella asked.
"No." Katie said in near tears.
"Oh no. Don't cry. Look, I know you miss Sadie, I do too." Ella began to say.
"She and I do everything together. Being without her is just so difficult." Katie lamented.
"Well I can't be Sadie. But I can be your new closest friend here, if you want Katie?" Ella asked.
"That would, that would be great." Katie said, wiping tears from her eyes.
"Would you like a song to celebrate this joyous occasion?" Ella asked as she began to sing.
"No, no, no!" Katie quickly said. "Saying it's enough, I would love to be your friend."
Meanwhile with Team Victory
Back over at Team Victory, Leshawna, Jasmine, and Lindsay were all sitting together with Leshawna deep in thought, Jasmine looking at Shawn, while Lindsay was playing with her hair when Alejandro showed up. "Ladies, I smuggled a few things out of first class for you."
"No thanks sweetie. I'm good. My mind is elsewhere." Leshawna stated
"I don't take offers from the enemy teams." Jasmine stated in a neutral tone.
"I also shouldn't, they aren't going too and I might break out in hives- wait OH MY GOSH! Is that a snickers bar? GIVE ME!" Lindsay yelled out and began eating the food in a way that would beat even Owen as Jasmine and Leshawna raised their eyebrows.
"That can't be good for you." Jasmine stated, grossed out by Lindsay's actions.
Alejandro then decided to walk to the common area where Sierra and Heather were getting food or what they could. "Sierra, hi. I smuggled this food out just for you." Alejandro said.
"Well she doesn't want it, we don't take anything from the enemy teams, especially the disgustingly flirty ones. Right Sierra?!" Heather said sternly.
"No thanks, Enemy!" Sierra said half jokingly.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Of course Heather is bonding with Sierra. She is Chris' favorite and if she has Sierra she has Chris! Provided I think I have an idea to get Sierra so unbearable she becomes an outcast. That being said, there's someone else I have my eyes on to target."
Back To Scene
Beth was just walking back from the bathroom when Alejandro saw and gave a slight smirk before approaching her. "Hello Beth is it?"
"Yes, Alejandro." Beth said nervously.
"I smuggled some sweets from first class, I gave most away but I saved the best for last." Alejandro said sweetly.
"Awe, thank you." Beth said.
"If you don't mind me asking, who's the leader of your team?" Alejandro asked.
"Leader? We don't have a leader." Beth explained. "Well Harold tried to but that was almost a huge disaster in Japan."
"Ah yes. Maybe you should lead your team?" Alejandro explained feigning interest.
"Me, why me?" Beth asked.
"Well, you made it to the final 2, and I imagine you wanna step out from Lindsay's shadow like I know you can." Alejandro stated, walking away soon after as Beth looked on as Lindsay walked up to her BFF with a face full of chocolate.
"What did Jalapeno want?" Lindsay asked but Beth wasn't responding. "Beth, is everything all right?"
"I'm uh, I am not sure." Beth said.
The camera panned over to Damien who had a raised eyebrow watching the whole scene unfold.
Confessional- Damien
"Maybe it's just my paranoia. But something about Alejandro screams untrustworthy. Bad vibes. It's hard to explain."
Cargo Hold/Landing For Next Challenge
All of the contestants were in a large raft with Blaineley and Chris wearing life jackets as they began to explain "Take a seat and grab a handle." Chris said
"We're gonna explain the next place we are visiting." Blaineley finished.
"Awe sweet ride dude." Tyler said, looking over at Chris. "What do you think, Lindsay?"
"It's cute, especially being here with you." Lindsay said cuddling up to Tyler.
"Wait, why are you two wearing a life jacket?" Noah asked, noticing Blaineley and Chris wearing life jackets.
"Also how far down are we jumping down from?" Damien asked.
"Far enough to be safe, besides there are over 40 of you still so we don't have the budget yet. Thanks to Don Strauss" Blaineley explained.
"Don Strauss?" Topher and Scott both said quietly at the same time, with both swearing they heard another person say it, but neither could pinpoint who said it.
"Hit it Chef!" Chris yelled out as the scene quickly shifted to Chef flying the plane pulling a lever that dropped the remaining 44 contestants and the two hosts into the water.
"Welcome everybody to New York City!" Blaineley explained.
Confessional- Lindsay
"New York! New York! Oh my gosh I could buy ten seasons of lip gloss without even trying. Not to mention the fashion! Aah!"
Explanation of Challenge/Pre-Challenge
"Okay contestants gather around. The first part of today's challenge is something we have dubbed Liberty" Blaineley began.
"Or death! Essentially it's a carriage race to central park." Chris further said.
Owen was excited, "I've always dreamed of riding a horse drawn carriage." Owen said excitedly.
"If it's anything like the last challenge, you should be the horse, Owen." Eva said which got a laugh out of some people but a slight frown from Noah.
"Not necessary." Noah said in defense of his best friend.
"If he's not the horse, it's gonna need to be a big carriage for him to ride in." Jo stated.
"Don't even think about making me the horse Heather!" Courtney said, turning to the queen bee who rolled her eyes.
"Relax guys, it's a double baby carriage race!" Chris explained.
Leshawna was looking around confused, "Wait a minute then where are the other baby carriages?"
"Up at the top of the Statue of Liberty. If anyone has climbing gloves be ready you will need them today" Blaineley said which got a groan from a lot of people. Shawn was the only one prepared and put on a pair of gloves.
"It's impressive that we got the space rented out." Topher observed.
"Well, I admire Chris, and his mischievous spirit makes the game more fun." Sierra stated.
"Thank you, Sierra, it's nice to be appreciated." Chris said, unaware of what he unleashed.
"Appreciate. I have appreciated you since you made those cheesy cat movies." Sierra said which made many people laugh.
"Ooh I wanna hear more!" Blaineley said.
"Nope, we have a challenge to run." Chris stated before continuing "Climb up Lady Liberty's crown, once every team member has reached the top two members will retrieve the carriages. Slide down a designated fire pole to the boats waiting just outside."
"Wait a minute when do we uh, go shopping?" Lindsay asked.
"You don't." Chris stated until Blaineley tapped his shoulder. "What!?" he said impatiently.
"Actually, they do go shopping, I forgot to mention last night Don and I had a chat, and he wants some mini rewards, so we reached a compromise. Two people from Team Style and Victory will go into downtown New York at a designated shopping center and pick up as many clothes, fashion items and stuff to buy. Team with the best designs, fashion, and whatever else wins an advantage in the second part of this challenge. Oh, and everyone keeps what they buy." Blaineley explained as many were indifferent to a potential clothes shopping spree while others like Lindsay, Jen, and Katie were excited.
"Okay, since this is really out of nowhere. Lindsay and Beth, you go shopping for Team Victory and for Team Style you will have Jen and Julia shop." Chris explained.
Heather was less than pleased. "What about Team Amazon, we're the team with a bunch of women!?"
"Way to lean into sexist stereotypes." Sky said after hearing what Heather said.
"You guys also finished last and eliminated someone. So, no potential rewards for losers. Part of the compromise. Also, stereotypical much?" Blaineley said.
Confessional- Jen
"OMG! Next to Paris, New York is one of the biggest fashion capitals in the world. Even if I don't win the advantage, I am gonna be in heaven! (squeals)"
Start of Challenge
Everyone sans Jen, Julia, Beth and Lindsay are shown as Chris blew a whistle indicating to begin climbing as Eva, Jo, and Alejandro immediately began climbing the rope with ease. DJ however tried to touch his team's rope and immediately regretted it, "OW! What are these things made of?" he asked.
"Steel wool, tough and firm like the big apple." Blaineley said approaching them.
"Don't worry mate, I will climb first to make the rope not hurt as much." Jasmine said, grabbing onto the rope quickly.
"Wow, she's amazing." Shawn said to himself.
Over at Team Amazon, Cody wanted to step up, "I should go first to make sure it's safe for all the ladies."
"That was subtle." Scott said which got a chuckle from Chase as both were shocked at what Cody was doing.
Courtney however stopped Cody from touching the rope, "I know exactly how to climb this rope."
Gwen walked up to her, not impressed. "You are not going to suggest we belay again, because I will take the penalty after the horrible experience that went on in Egypt."
"Fine we won't do the belay." Courtney said bitterly.
"That's what I thought." Gwen stated, annoying Courtney.
"Why don't we have Sierra figure out." Heather pointed out trying to put attention on Sierra.
"Me, Heather, oh my gosh thank you so much! I thought I knew everything about the original cast, you are nicer than I expected" Sierra excitedly said.
Confessional- Sierra
"Of course, I know that Heather is playing me. I have seen both seasons 50 times. Hello, I am playing Heather! I'm the puppet master here."
Confessional- Heather
"Today's kind of a win-win situation for me. Either A. Sierra leads this team proves her worth and I pick up a good ally to have. Or B. She drives the whole team crazy, and I have someone to point to that the whole team can send home, buying me some more time. Hoping for the former, but if the latter happens. Eh whatever works."
In Real Time
Heather was grunting and going up the rope "No way in hell am I losing this challenge!" she yelled out.
Back on the ground Sierra, Cody, and Mickey were the last ones on the ground with Sierra standing next to the rope "After you." Sierra said next to Cody as he began to climb.
Not a moment later Mickey was also climbing, "I'm going to be right behind you Cody. That's what friends do." Mickey said climbing. "Ow! Ow!" Ow!" he yelled out in pain.
"Ugh, now I don't get the best view in New York city." Sierra said sadly as Cody and Mickey looked at each other creeped out by Sierra's actions again.
"What is wrong with her?" Mickey asked.
"I have no idea, buddy." Cody said as he and Mickey tried to climb at a faster rate to avoid Sierra.
Top Of Statue of Liberty
Chris and Blaineley were standing on the top of the Statue of Liberty "It's been 25 blustering minutes and nothing!" Chris yelled out.
"I have seen more ambition at a paint drying contest." Blaineley said.
"You are bumming us out." Chris yelled.
At that moment Eva climbed up to the top, "Wait, I'm first oh hell yeah!" Eva cheered out.
Jo was right behind her and got on top and rolled her eyes at Eva's celebration until an idea popped in her head.
Confessional- Jo
"I need all the numbers to send Dave out. I doubt Eva would align with someone like that or care if he left or not."
Back To Scene
Jo decided to put her plan in motion, "Hey Eva, now that we have this time to ourselves, I was going to ask you something?"
"Go right ahead." Eva said nonchalantly.
"Have you thought of who to eliminate if we were to lose again?" Jo asked
"Nah I don't really think that far ahead." Eva explained.
"Well, I think we should keep the physically strongest ones here, if you catch my drift." Jo explained to Eva.
Climbing The Statue
Meanwhile Owen was not having an easy time with the rope, "Oh gosh, making me sweat. Oh, come on!" Owen said as he was tied up in a giant knot.
Higher up, Noah, Dave, Tyler, Cameron, Cody, and Mickey noticed where they were in relation to the Statue of Liberty "Look at those." Tyler said, pointing to the Statue of Liberty's chest.
"Dude, that's disgusting." Dave said.
Cody and Cameron, both noticed it at the same time, "Hey what's going on?" Cody asked as he bumped into an unaware Cameron, and both fell in the same place at the same time.
"Woo Hoo! Ten-point landing dudes!" Tyler yelled out.
"There's more to a woman than her chest." Dave began to say as Noah and Tyler looked unimpressed for what he was going to say.
"Wah! Help, we're getting sucked in." Cameron yelled out.
Sierra and Ezekiel, who were climbing their team's ropes, noticed what was going on "I'll save you Cody!" Sierra yelled out.
"I got you Cameron, eh." Ezekiel said. Almost simultaneously both grabbed their teammates at the same time with both Cameron and Cody breathing a sigh of relief. Well Cody did as Ezekiel managed to get himself and Cameron tied up in a huge knot together that was way too intimate to describe.
"Well, that could have gone better." Cameron said.
"Sorry, about that eh." Ezekiel noted looking down. "We're going to be stuck like this for a while, aren't we?"
"Yep. It's okay. It's the thought that counts." Cameron said, trying to stay calm that he was next to Ezekiel in a tied-up rope that was way too close for comfort.
Confessional- Ezekiel
"Shockingly enough dudes, Cameron has become my closest friend here. He's always saying how fascinating I am. Eh. It's just nice to have a friend after how the first season went. Even if being tied together in rope with me on top of him is way too close for comfort eh as neither of us swing that way. Some people here probably do, I just don't."
Top Of The Statue Of Liberty
At this point many members of each team had completed the climb. For Team Amazon the only one missing was Sierra, for Team Style the only one missing was Owen and, while Team Victory had Leshawna, Millie, Ezekiel, and Cameron missing. However, Chris was not impressed. "Ugh, hurry it up. I am tired. I am hungry, I have to pee, and I could use some New York style Pizza." Chris lamented.
"Chicago style pizza is better." Blaineley noted.
As the two hosts began to debate between the merits of two different styles of pizza Jo was getting frustrated. "Any type of lead Eva and I got for the team is gone! Ugh! Thanks Owen!" she yelled out.
Noah however was annoyed at Jo's action, "Owen is doing the best he can." he said angrily.
"Fair enough, but he could be doing better." Jo said, feeling a tinge guilty about yelling about Owen.
Meanwhile the team with the most members not there in Team Victory was struggling the most as Bridgette voiced what her team was feeling "Ugh, well I hope Lindsay and Beth are having an easier time."
Boutique Store
At the mini reward challenge Lindsay and Jen were in a shopping paradise both grabbing as many items as they could, "Oh my gosh Forever 21!" Jen screamed out grabbing clothes off the shelves.
"Ooh this brand of lip gloss is so cute!" Lindsay said, grabbing at least a dozen.
"Ooh Under Armor, Trent would look good in that…" Jen said until she realized what she said looking at the camera. "I meant Tom, we run a fashion blog called Now Trending with Tom and Jen." Jen said looking at the camera.
Elsewhere in the store Julia was looking at the clothes but had a very uninterested look, "Ugh, none of these brands, appeal to my social media followers. Gross." Julia stated.
Beth felt a bit out of her element and what was not helping was that Lindsay was going absolutely nuts in the store looking for clothes and lip gloss. Beth decided to at that point talk to Julia since Lindsay was way too busy to talk too.
"Hi, Julie, is it?" Beth asked.
"It's Julia, and what do you want?" Julia asked rudely.
"Sheesh, just figured I would talk to you." Beth said defensively.
"Why aren't you helping your partner?" Julia asked.
"Lindsay says she has a keen eye for fashion, so I was just gonna leave her to it." Beth explained. "Ah Lindsay, she is an amazing best friend."
"Never mind, I shouldn't have asked." Julia said, looking back at the clothes shelves.
Beth however didn't take the social cue and continued talking to Julia "Hey if you don't mind me asking who's the leader of your team on Team Style?"
Julia was still disinterested but decided to entertain Beth "Alejandro tends to be the one that leads the team, he has a bit of an ego to him. But I imagine the leader and assertive women are the ones he likes." Julia stated, walking away from Beth.
"Maybe, I should be a leader and be assertive." Beth said to herself.
Back At The Top Of The Statue Of Liberty
Luckily for Team Amazon despite having no members in the boutique store for the advantage they were getting Sierra, the last person they needed to start getting the carriages up the statue.
"Ugh, that is a workout and a half." Sierra said, looking at the ground exhausted for a quick second.
"I'll get a carriage, which is what a valuable teammate would do, Zoey wanna go with me?" Heather asked.
"Sure thing." Zoey said as both ran up to the carriages and for Heather she was trying to make another ally.
Sierra meanwhile ran up to Chris no longer exhausted, "Hey Chris I own every one of your TV appearances on DVD. Even your cooking show 'Keep It Plain with Chris McLean'. Your recipe for white rice is so great. It's so unfair you got canceled after one episode." Sierra stated as Chris was starting to get very impatient as many people laughed at the exchange.
"I was going through a phase." Chris stated, nervously.
Blaineley joined in on the fun, "That must be why Chef does all the cooking."
Zoey and Heather who were getting the carriages couldn't hear the exchange but one could quickly tell from afar what was going on. "Safe to say Sierra is annoying Chris, again." Zoey noted.
"Again? Ugh, I am trying to keep her in the game, and she is making it not worth it at all." Heather said angrily.
"Why are you trying to keep her after what happened in the Yukon?" Zoey asked. "She's crazy."
"Because I like to believe she is Chris' favorite and maybe give our team an advantage, but she is ruining that." Heather said, grabbing one of the pink carriages.
"I am gonna reiterate what I told you a couple days ago. I am willing to work with you, but not if Sierra is involved. She is way too crazy." Zoey stated.
"Would you mind trading Sierra in for working with, I don't know, Topher?" Heather asked as Zoey grabbed one of the carriages until she heard what Heather said and turned her head towards Heather.
"Topher?" Zoey stuttered. "Why-why him? I mean he's nice but-"
"But what? I see the way you look at him." Heather stated with a confident smirk.
"I mean like I said he's nice, but he and I are just friends. I promise you. That being said, I would gladly trade him in for Sierra." Zoey stated as she grabbed her carriage and went racing down.
"Sure, you're just friends." Heather stated, to herself, grabbing her carriage as well and went racing down unconvinced by what Zoey said.
Zoey and Heather met up with the rest of the team "Awesome, we're in the lead!" Topher yelled out. "Great job Zoey!" making the red-haired girl blush.
"Like I said, valuable." Heather stated as everyone on Team Amazon looked excited, they were in the lead.
"Team Amazon takes the lead." Blaineley exclaimed as Chris pushed Sierra over to her team.
"How do we get back down; the rope isn't safe enough to climb down with two baby carriages?" Courtney asked.
"Did you guys forget; I mentioned the fire pole? It's only a 30-story drop" Chris stated pointing to the pole.
"Ladies first. I insist." Cody said meekly.
"I agree." Mickey said nervously.
"Well, if no one else is going to, I'll do it." Gwen stated, grabbing the pole and sliding all the way down and screaming.
Duncan, who was helping Team Style, looked over in concern at Gwen "Is she okay?" Duncan asked.
"I'm okay!" Gwen yelled out weakly as Scott gave Duncan a thumbs up as Duncan was reassured.
"Oh thank goodness." Duncan said to himself before focusing back on his team.
The rest of Team Amazon soon followed with Courtney, Scott, Chase, Emma, Heather, Zoey, Topher, Anne-Maria, Katie, Ella, Cody, Mickey, Kitty and lastly Sierra all falling on the pole as Cody and Anne Maria held onto the baby carriages. Chase cheered excitedly about the experience while Sierra called out "Cody!" she yelled out.
Meanwhile
Back with Team Victory Bridgette and Geoff were getting Leshawna and Millie up the top of the statue as Leshawna laid down on the ground as soon as she was up at the statue, "Hallelujah." Leshawna cheered out.
"Exercise is not my thing." Millie said as she also collapsed on the ground.
"Do we have everyone?" Tyler asked.
"No, we're still missing Cameron and Ezekiel." Bridgette noted before looking down to see that while they were close, they were in a giant knot tied up together. "Quick everyone, pull together at once, they are tied up."
"1, 2, 3!" Brody cheered out. "Pull!"
Luckily everyone on Team Victory managed to get the giant heap pile of Cameron and Ezekiel out of the course, unfortunately they were still tied together. Harold walked up to the two of them and asked, "What happened to you guys?"
"Long story. Is, is everyone here?" Cameron asked.
"Yep, we are, I'll go get a carriage." DJ proclaimed.
"I'll join him." Shawn said following closely behind. "Someone should untie those two though?" Shawn said running off screen.
"(sighs) I'll try." Bridgette said as she began to attempt to untie Cameron and Ezekiel.
"Dudes it's actually impressive you guys got this tangled up." Geoff noted.
"Thanks?" Cameron said, confused if he was getting complimented.
Shawn and DJ both instantly grabbed a carriage each. DJ admittedly was shocked at how Shawn was doing, "Shocked you have that great of precision, Shawn. Where'd you learn to be so agile on your feet?" DJ asked. "I'm impressed."
"Despite my smaller size, I have had a lot of zombie apocalypse training." Shawn began to explain.
Confessional- DJ
"Something people may not know about me is that I always walk on the edge of the curb, never on the sidewalk. Can't risk stepping on a crack and breaking my momma's back. Know what I'm saying? As for Shawn, despite all that zombie stuff he seems like a cool guy, the zombie stuff is crazy. But deep down he seems like a nice guy."
Back To Scene
Team Victory went sliding down the pole next with DJ, Geoff, and Bridgette going down first with Geoff cheering on in excitement. Unfortunately for Cameron and Ezekiel they were next, and Bridgette hadn't completely untied them, and Ezekiel had one arm free which was all he and Cameron could use as they slid down the pole in a freefall. Soon after Damien fell down next as he yelled out, "This is illogical."
After that Shawn, Brody, Jasmine, Tyler, Millie, Harold, and Leshawna all slid down the fire pole with Brody cheering on as the others screamed out in fear.
Back with Team Style, Brick, Jo, Eva, Sky, and Alejandro are trying to pull Owen up but due to him getting tangled up and unable to move himself it was a struggle. "Heave!" Brick cried out, unfortunately Owen just kept hitting his head on the Statue of Liberty's nose until one big pull sent Owen into the nose.
"Oh boy, where am I now? Echo! Oh great, I can't see." Owen yelled out.
"Lovely, Owen is proving to be completely useless today." Eva said angrily.
"Come on, we aren't too far behind." Noah said half assuredly.
"Why is it that whenever Owen's at fault Noah, you always defend him?" Justin asked.
"Oh geeze, he's my best friend. Sorry I have one and you don't, and no, your reflection in the mirror doesn't count." Noah sniped back.
"Whatever dude, if we lose tonight. Owen's out today." Justin said making Noah squirm on the inside.
Pier By The Boats
Team Amazon was in a commanding lead with Courtney and Zoey pushing the carriages, "There's the boat." Courtney pointed out.
"Quick, everyone, get in. We have a lead; we can't blow it." Emma said as all 15 members of Team Amazon began piling in.
"Hit it!" Scott said as Courtney started the boat, but Cody and Mickey weren't secured in, and both fell into the water at the same time.
Mickey was immediately panicking as he wasn't a strong swimmer. "Oh gosh, I can't swim well. Someone hold on to me, please I am going to die!" Mickey yelled out as Team Amazon's boat began speeding away quickly.
Cody was also nervous as he rose from the water, "Dude where's the boat?" Cody asked scared, but quickly recognized Mickey was drowning "Dude, I got you." Cody reassured his friend by holding onto him, tightly. "Just breathe in, breathe out. I'm here for you."
Mickey did as Cody was told and was beginning to calm down, "I probably look pathetic." Mickey said, holding onto Cody.
"Not any more pathetic than me." Cody said which got both to chuckle at their predicament.
"Let's not tell anyone about this whole holding each other thing, right?" Mickey asked. "I mean I don't mind I just, I uh, don't want people get the wrong idea."
"Yeah, it's just to calm you down." Cody explained. "It's better than being touched by Sierra at least." Cody joked which got Mickey to laugh.
"Thanks, you're a great friend." Mickey said as both Cody and Mickey enjoyed the moment.
"Cody!" Sierra yelled out, noticing that Cody was missing from the boat and also saw from afar that Cody and Mickey were too close to her liking or at least that's what she thought for a second before realizing her thought sounded ridiculous.
Gwen also noticed that two teammates were missing. "Turn around!" Gwen yelled out.
"What?!" Courtney asked. "The boat is too loud."
Gwen however had enough and pushed Courtney off of steering the boat, "Turn this boat around now. I am not leaving a teammate to be New York shark food."
Top of Statue of Liberty
Luckily for Team Style they had managed to get Owen up to the top, unfortunately many of the members were completely exhausted, nor helping was that Owen was still tied up as people like Brick, Eva, and Sky were catching their breath. Dave and Noah luckily weren't tired out as they didn't pull him up, "Dave, help me untie Owen." Noah called out.
"Sure thing, who's getting the carriages though?" Dave asked.
"I can go get it." Bowie offered.
"Same here." Justin also claimed.
"Get going, pretty boys. We are way too far behind." Jo said angrily.
Luckily Noah and Dave made quick work of Owen's situation, "Done." Noah yelled out, "Everyone head to the pole and get ready for the drop!"
"Sir, yes sir!" Jo said mockingly.
Noah simply glared at the jockette before pulling Owen aside as they headed to the fireman's pole, "Hey big guy, try not to slow us down. People like Eva are pissed at you. Justin said if we lose that you're going home."
"I'm sorry buddy. I didn't mean to get tied up." Owen said solemnly.
"We got the carriages." Bowie said as he and Justin decided to keep going and not slow down, unfortunately he along with Justin were going too fast and hit the pole, with the baby carriages left up at the top and went sliding down the pole. Afterwards, Trent, Eva, Noah, Duncan, Dave, Sky, Jo, Brick, each went down the pole with people like Eva, Jo, and Brick enjoying it while Trent and Dave were both scared, as was Noah.
Owen tried to jump into the whole but due to his larger size he was stuck, "Aw man. Hey Al, do you think you can give me a push Al?"
"Sure, thing amigo?" Alejandro stated before angrily grabbing one of the baby carriages.
Owen quickly realized what Alejandro had in mind and was fearful to say the least "Oh great big apple!" Owen yelled out as Alejandro hit him over the head with the carriage and forced him down the pole screaming the whole way down and made Owen lose trust in Alejandro.
Alejandro shrugged at his actions, "Sometimes the most forceful way is the best way." he said right before he slid down the pole.
By The Boats
Cody and Mickey had luckily managed to stay afloat and grabbed onto Team Victory's boat, unfortunately they couldn't hitch a ride in time as Jasmine yelled out "Hit it!"
"Wait, no!" Cody yelled out in fear.
"Hey! Help us!" Mickey yelled out as well before shoving himself and Cody underwater to avoid getting hit by Team Style's boat that was looking to accidentally run them over. As luck would have it however, they managed to start water skiing on the boat for a second with Mickey on top and Cody holding onto the handle until they were hit by a buoy.
"Ugh, I am in so much pain now." Cody said as he and Mickey began slipping to the ground.
"Mommy." Mickey said in pain.
For Team Amazon they were less than thrilled, especially Heather "This is bullshit, we went from first place to last thanks to you Courtney!"
"What? I can't hear you!" Courtney said.
Heather was not in the mood however and walked up to Courtney "You dropped us to last place due to leaving Cody and Mickey behind. You are a horrible leader." Heather said sternly.
"It's not my fault the wimps weren't secured, its their own failure." Courtney said defensively.
"Yeah, that's what a leader acts like." Kitty said sarcastically, annoyed at Courtney leaving her close friends behind.
Luckily Cody and Mickey were easy to spot as Sierra grabbed the former and Kitty grabbed the latter with Sierra distraught "Cody if you were to drown I would drown so we'd always be together."
As for Kitty and Mickey, Kitty asked "Are you okay?"
"Actually I am. I can't swim well, but the water helps my legs not look like armadillos due to my eczema." Mickey explained.
"That and you had Cody comforting you the whole time." Kitty said.
"Hey, he and I are just... friends." Mickey defensively said.
Over at Team Victory's boat the mood was more eager as they realized due to the Amazon's mistake they were in the lead. "Guys, we're in first place." Bridgette noted.
"Wait, I just realized something, this challenge makes no sense." Millie observed.
"Yeah, taking a boat to central park doesn't make a lick of sense. Central Park is in the middle of Manhattan." Leshawna stated.
"Well, we have the next buoy." Millie said before looking over to Shawn who was wearing a protective mask. "Wait, why are you wearing that?"
Before Millie could be answered, Team Victory entered the sewer system grossed out, with Team Style joining soon after and lastly Team Amazon as Heather lamented their situation "I hate Chris every day, and this is further proof of it."
Back at the top of the Statue of Liberty, Chris and Blaineley each had a mini telescope observing the situation as Chris began "Who will survive?"
"Who's taking a dive?" Blaineley asked as well.
"Find out when we return, on Total Drama World Race!" Chris and Blaineley announced together.
Team Victory's Boat
After the commercial break, the show picked up showing the members of Team Victory in their boat as Leshawna looked on in disgust, "There better be a reward at the end of this challenge, some disinfectant, a hot shower. This is disgusting!" she complained.
"Leshawna I just wanna say-" Harold began to say.
"Not now. Whatever it is, it can wait until I am clean. Clear?" Leshawna stated annoyed at her situation being in the sewers.
"Crystal." Harold said, looking down.
At the driver's component of the boat DJ and Geoff were driving the boat through the sewers when Geoff decided to ask his second-best friend a question "Yo DJ, can I ask you something?" Geoff asked quietly.
"You know you don't have to ask, what's going on with you?" DJ asked back.
"It's just Bridgette and me. It feels like we are on the rocks, and I have no idea what to do man." Geoff said sadly.
"Well I'll think of something to help you, I just wanna focus on driving right now." DJ said, putting his eyes back to the sewer.
Confessional- DJ
"You know, I thought it was going to be great to be on the same team as Geoff like the first season, but all he does is sulk about his relationship with Bridgette. It gets to be a bit much. No offense."
Confessional- Harold
"I was going to talk to Leshawna about the Egypt stuff but it's clear her head is just focused on this challenge."
Back To Scene
All of a sudden Team Victory heard a hollowing moan with Millie asking what everyone was thinking "Is that an alligator?"
Shawn had a petrified look looking around, "Wait there's no way alligators can be in the sewers."
Damien didn't seem too scared "That was just an urban myth. I'm just relieved we are winning." Damien said as the camera showed an alligator popping up behind the team proving Damien's thought process as wrong.
Team Style's Boat
"Did you guys hear that; it sounded like an alligator?" Trent said, looking around scared.
"Relax John Mayer, there's no gators here." Jo said, looking behind them.
Elsewhere in the boat Duncan was sitting by himself looking over at Team Amazon's boat trying to see if he can see Gwen when Bowie walked up to him. "Looking for Gwen?" Bowie asked.
"No, I was looking at Courtney." Duncan quickly defended himself.
"Right, are you trying to convince me or yourself? Oh, and have you thought of any good memories with Courtney?" Bowie asked again.
"No, I haven't, why is it any of your business discussing my love life?" Duncan asked back.
"Because I figured we were friends." Bowie reasoned.
"Well, we aren't so back off." Duncan said, trying to sound threateningly.
"I might, but you need to be honest with yourself, oh and I am not someone you want to mess with." Bowie said walking away.
"The nerve of some people." Duncan said, looking back to Team Amazon's boat, with what Bowie said lingering over his head.
Team Amazon's Boat
In Team Amazon's boat Courtney was driving but wasn't putting her full effort as her mind was starting to wander, Courtney realized that it would be best if someone else took the boat. "Hey Zoey." Courtney called out.
"Yeah Courtney." Zoey responded back.
"Can you drive the boat?" Courtney asked. "My head's spinning and I need to sit down. Not to mention the smell. Ugh!"
Courtney walked over to the backside of the boat and laid down with Emma noticing her distressed state, "Is everything okay?" Emma asked.
"What's it to you? Gonna whip Chase and I and treat me like a pack mule?" Courtney asked bitterly.
"Okay I deserve that. I will say in my defense my anger was more towards Chase. But seriously what's wrong?" Emma asked.
"You said earlier this season you dated Chase before this season started?" Courtney asked back.
"Ugh, don't remind me, it was the biggest mistake of my life." Emma explained.
"Well, if you don't mind me asking when did you know you didn't love Chase anymore." Courtney asked as she was starting to wonder if she was no longer in love with Duncan.
"Wow, I have no one asked me about when I didn't love Chase. I broke up with him after the whole pet store thing, but probably when he threw a jacket on a puddle at the movie theater we went too." Emma explained.
"What's so bad about that?" Courtney asked.
"He caused the puddle and used my jacket without my permission to clean the puddle up." Emma further explained.
"Wow, how long were you with him?" Courtney wondered.
"Long enough to be a regret." Emma said.
Before they could continue, Anne Maria got their attention "Yo, are you two done gossiping? We're here and oh hell no! We're last." Anne Maria said angrily seeing that Team Style and Team Victory got out of the sewers before they did.
Boat Dock
After all the boats hit the dock, Chris, Blaineley, and Chef were standing at the dock with Chris and Blaineley wearing protective masks "Ooh nasty! That's the kind of smell that never goes away." Chris stated while laughing.
Sierra decided to at that moment compliment Chris, "Chris you are such a brilliant commander. That's why you always stood out in your boy band!" she claimed.
"Whoa, pump the brakes a minute. Chris was in a boy band?" Owen asked.
"Yeah, I have a pretty good music knowledge and background, and I never knew Chris was in a boy band." Trent stated as his musical background was actually very vast.
"Moving on!" Chris said trying to change the subject, but Sierra didn't take the hint.
"Nah, Sierra, keep going!" Blaineley excitedly said as Chris glared at his co-host.
"Thanks, Blaineley, it was back in the 80s, he was in Fame Town." Sierra said happily.
Gwen was stunned at the news. "You were in Fame Town?" she said, shocked.
Trent was holding back laughter but had to comment "No wonder I didn't know. No one respects Fame Town in the music industry."
Confessional- DJ
(laughing hysterically) "Oh man"
Confessional- Harold
"How pathetic."
Confessional- Owen
"I can't believe he was in Fame Town, ha, ha!"
Confessional- Courtney
(Laughing) "No matter how my life goes I will never stoop that low!"
Confessional- Chef
(Laughing) "Chris is a loser!"
Back To Scene
Sierra continued on, unaware that now Chris was boiling with anger. "I really admire the way you never let mockery get to you."
"Something she's doing right now unknowingly" Noah said to Owen who were both trying to not laugh too much.
"I have to include that stuff in your unauthorized obituary I have planned." Sierra stated which made everyone stop laughing.
"That's disturbing." Anne-Maria said with her jaw hanging on the floor of what Sierra just said, in shock at what was just said.
"But Chris was born in 1978-" Sierra began to say until Chris interrupted her.
"THAT'S ENOUGH! SHUT THE FUCK UP! PERMANENTLY!" Chris yelled out in anger that scared most of the contestants at that second.
Blaineley pulled Chris to the side and whispered in his ear, "Chris we can't swear on television."
"I don't care, this bitch crossed the line, she needs to pay!" Chris yelled out.
Confessional- Heather
"So, any chances of having Sierra and I working together is out the window. She could have been Chris' pet, giving our team a built-in advantage. I suspect that rat snake Alejandro had something to do with it. At best, she is someone to prevent me from getting eliminated when she herself takes the fall."
Confessional- Alejandro
"I was going to fill Sierra in on how Chris isn't loved enough and get her to blow up her good spot with him. I simply forgot. Luckily, she did it herself. What an idiot."
Back To Scene
Chris decided to get everyone's attention "Alright, focus people, we have Lindsay, Beth, Jen and Julia returning any second." Chris began to explain before he got even more angry with Sierra.
As luck would have it both pairs of girls were walking back right on time with Jen and Lindsay carrying bags upon bags of items both looking like they were in heaven. "Best 30 minutes of my life!" Jen said happily.
"Alright ladies, it's time to see who bought the best brands, the most and who shopped the best overall." Blaineley announced. "Chef! Go look through the stuff to determine a winner!"
"What, me, why do I have to?!" Chef protested.
"Because you're a neutral, unbiased party." Blaineley explained.
"Stupid show." Chef grumbled to himself looking through both bags. "Lip gloss, lipstick, eyeliner, dress, skirt, wait is this a Drama Brothers T-Shirt Jen?" Chef asked.
"Yeah? It was cheap?" Jen said, trying to sound convincing. Chef was next seen whispering in Blaineley's ear.
"Alright Chef has announced a winner who will get an advantage in the next part of this challenge. The winner is Team Victory!" Blaineley announced.
"What? Why!" Jen said annoyed.
"The Drama Brothers T-Shirt killed any chance of Team Style getting the advantage. I'm not a fan of the little boy band some of you guys formed." Chef explained.
"Ugh, rude." Justin said bitterly.
Jen was feeling dejected and walked up to her team in shame. "I thought I was a fashion guru, but this makes me look pathetic." Jen said sadly looking at the ground.
"Hey, don't feel bad, I like the T-Shirt." Trent reassured her as Jen lightly smiled.
"Okay now it is time for the second part of the challenge, we call it Bobbing for Apples NYC Style." Chris explained.
"Oh, I get it, because they call New York the big apple, right?" Lindsay asked.
"Yeah, hush Lindsay." Chris said, a bit annoyed. "Here's how this works: teams must push their carriages along one of 3 marked paths to Turtle Pond."
"After that two members of each team will bob for some apples in the pond without using their hands." Blaineley also said. "Once they get the apples, head to the heart of Central Park."
"Now folks, what are baby carriages without a couple of babies." Chris asked.
"Ooh, I know this, what are shopping carts?" Owen answered.
"Dude, first of all we are not on Jeopardy, so you don't have to answer in the form of a question, second of all I was being rhetorical." Chris explained.
"I know." Owen said happily as he and Noah snickered.
Confessional- Noah
"Heh. Maybe my snark is rubbing off on Owen! Makes me happy."
Back To Scene
Sierra was once again oblivious and started to annoy him "Oh Chris that is so-" she began to say until Chris interrupted her.
"ZIP IT AND SHUT THE FUCK UP!" Chris yelled out.
"THAT'S IT!" Blaineley announced. "I am hosting the rest of the challenge; Chris go to the plane and calm down. Now! I am doing the rest of the challenge." Chris didn't want to but agreed reluctantly walking away in pure anger. "Okay now each team will have two members of each team riding in the carriages from now until they reach the finish line. Teams make your decisions."
Team Amazon was quick for theirs as Scott answered for his team "Cody and Mickey!" he said.
"Wait why us?" Cody asked.
"Because you guys are the smallest on the team, and I imagine you guys are still shaken up after the whole boat incident." Kitty said, walking up to Cody.
"Oh okay. Thanks." Cody said happily with a slight blush on his face.
Over at Team Style, Noah volunteered "I'll do it. (yawns) I could use a bit of sitting down even if it is in a baby carriage."
"I'll join." Dave said. "My arms still hurt from the tower," Dave explained. "Sorry Statue."
"Weak" Jo said quietly to herself, annoyed in her mind how pathetic Dave was.
"Ooh I can do it for Team Victory!" Lindsay said happily. "I love it when people call me baby!"
"Dude, make a mental note of that." Damien told Tyler.
"But I don't have a pen." Tyler explained which made Damien facepalm. "Was it something I said?"
"Just call Lindsay baby tonight since you know you guys are dating." Damien explained.
"Oh, now I get it!" Tyler said happily as Damien looked at Tyler in shock at his stupidity.
"I'll do it as well since I am the smallest." Cameron said until the camera panned farther out. "But can someone please untie Ezekiel and I already?" he asked in anger as he and Ezekiel were still way too close for comfort.
"I've got it." Beth said. "I actually know my way around knots, even steel wool ones. There and there. You guys are untied. Time for me to lead our team to Victory!"
"Okay folks here's how the paths go, Team Victory gets the shortest path, Style gets the medium, and Amazon gets the longest path. Now what's a race without a little traveling music?" Blaineley announced as the bell went off.
"It's always been a dream of mine to dance in New York City!" Courtney announced happily.
"Are we seriously doing a musical number, in almost every episode?" Leshawna asked in anger. "What's the caveat with this one?"
"Simply put, a few of you per team have to sing at least and it is gonna be a game of hot potato, sing a verse and someone else has to step in right away to keep the flow going." Blaineley explained.
"Well if that's the case." Justin said, looking around willing to sing.
"Now hurry up, we have this park for another hour. This doesn't come cheap." Blaineley explained as each team took off.
Musical Number What's Not To Love About New York
Courtney began the song "What's not to love about New York City?"
Scott sang next, "Plenty of things, the place is quite a pity."
Topher continued next "Nonsense, the taxi's go at a New York ditty."
Anne Maria spoke up next, "But come on the crime is high."
Zoey sang next "Girl look at the sky."
Ela was next "You can see the pigeons fly."
Courtney, Zoey, Ella and Topher concluded their part of the song "What's not to love about New York?"
Owen started the next part of the song for his team "The lights are brighter."
Julia sang next, "You can pull an all-nighter."
Trent went up to bat "The fun is funner."
Jen decided to take a crack at it next "The nights are quite a stunner."
Alejandro joined in on the fun next "The bums are bummer."
Bowie sang the next part "I ought to be here in the summer."
Justin sang the next part rather annoyed "The dirt and grime make every ally shine "
Jo continued. "The city is all mine."
Owen, Julia, Trent, Jen, Alejandro, Bowie, Justin and Jo all danced on large piano keys "What's not to love about New York?"
Lindsay started her part for Team Victory's sake. "The stores and the fashion."
Beth walked up to her best friend for her part, "Big shows where they cash-in."
Brody sang next "You can see it in their eyes, they have a lot of passion."
All 3 sang at the same time "It's crazy because the city never sleeps."
DJ stepped in to announce, "Dance break." DJ began to lightly dance tapping his feet with Leshawna walking up and dancing like crazy but very unorganized.
Lindsay however put a stop to it "For the love of dance, just stop Leshawna!"
Courtney, Zoey, Ella, Topher, Heather, Gwen, Sierra, and Katie sang the next part after the mini dance break "Subway trains and the hustle bustle!"
Lindsay, Millie, Beth, Bridgette, Leshawna, Brody, Harold, and Cameron sang the next part for their team, "Cappuccinos while the mobsters tussle."
Owen sang the next part solo "Also pretzel stands for all of us pretzel fans." Owen sang, giving Noah a pretzel.
"Woah, hot, hot, hot!" Noah said out loud as Owen drove away "I don't think this was bought."
A person off screen yelled out "You need to pay for that!"
Owen, oblivious to what his best friend said, started to close the musical number "Come on, what's not to love?"
Lindsay, holding her coffee, repeated "What's not to love?"
Everyone who sang during the song closed the number singing "What's not to love about New York?"
Turtle Pond
Each of the teams showed up at the same time with Leshawna less than impressed "The other teams are here too? I thought we had the shortest path?"
"We did, but your dancing took the longest to recover from (yawns) man I am sleepy!" Lindsay said, starting to fall asleep.
"Oh my gosh, look at the size of the apples. They are huge." DJ said scared.
"Meh, I've seen worse." Jasmine shrugged.
"Remember guys no hands or your team faces instant disqualification." Blaineley said.
"I've totally got this!" Tyler said excitedly running to the water before belly flopping hard.
"DJ go make sure Tyler's okay!" Beth ordered DJ, "I'll look over the carriages."
"Right away Beth!" DJ said as he also jumped in the water.
Over at Team Style, Jo was up to the task "I've got this unless anyone thinks they can beat me?" she asked tauntingly.
"I'm up for the challenge!" Sky said, stepping up to her supposed ally.
"Game on!" Jo said as her and Sky raced to one of the apples.
Over at Team Amazon Courtney bragged "My dancing skills during the musical number got us the advantage, now someone else jump in the pond before we lose!"
"Ooh I can do it. Show off the moves right babe?" Chase said standing near Emma.
"Get the hell away from me!" Emma said angrily as she pushed Chase into the water.
"Oh, I can do it. Last year I went to a Chris McLean Fanclub picnic." Sierra began to explain before Scott grabbed her by the hair. "Hey, what are you doing?"
"As fascinating as it would be to hear about you and your little cult. I don't want to lose this damn challenge. Now get in and help Chase!" Scott yelled out before walking back to Courtney and Heather.
"Impressive I will say." Heather admitted.
"Sometimes force is the way to go." Scott said.
"I don't wanna admit it as I would have told her to dive in, but that was pretty direct." Courtney said looking over at Heather with a hint of jealousy in her face that she was talking to Scott.
Heather looked over to Alejandro who approached her, "Such a park is so romantic." Alejandro stated.
"Whatever, I know you've been messing with Sierra's head so back off or you wish you would have." Heather threatened.
"I have no idea what you are talking about." Alejandro stated. Before Heather could retort Sky and Jo came back with their apples "I'll see you at the finish line Heather!" he called out as all of Team Style took off.
"Ugh! He is so frustrating." Heather said to herself. To make matters worse one of the people Heather least wanted to talk to Beth walked up to her. "What could you possibly want?"
"Oh, nothing Heather, just wanna say I look forward to seeing you in the Economy section again, you know if you survive tonight." Beth confidently said.
"What's that supposed to mean? Also, since when are you so confident out of nowhere?" Heather asked, more bewildered by Beth's behavior.
"Just showing how a team actually operates and how a leader is supposed to be. It's a shame Alejandro would never look your way since you aren't a good leader." Beth taunted.
Heather was stunned at what Beth was saying, deep down she did feel something for Alejandro, not that she would admit to anyone else or even herself "Why you…"
"Buh bye Heather!" Beth said walking back to her team, however Heather noticed that in both of the carriages for Team Victory, Cameron and Lindsay were sleeping and that no one on Team Victory was watching over the carriages and that's when an idea popped in her mind.
Confessional- Heather
"I would love nothing more than to send that handsome jerk Alejandro out of the game. But sabotaging Beth isn't the worst thing either. She's never gonna work with me, and after the way she talked to me in Central Park she needs to be brought down to Earth."
Back To Scene
Heather leaned over to Scott who was shooting an occasional glance at Courtney, "Psh, I need your help. Grab the carriage with Cameron in it, I'll grab the one with Lindsay and let's swap them with the ones over by that bench." Heather quietly asked Scott as the camera showed a woman talking on her phone with two baby carriages next to her unaware.
"Ooh, I like the way you think Heather." Scott said excitedly.
"Ugh, guys just hurry up, Tyler and DJ have a lead on Chase and Sierra." Courtney said annoyed. Sure, enough both Heather and Scott quickly grabbed the carriages and swapped them around.
"Let the chaos unfold." Scott said as he was proud of his work.
Back in the water Tyler finally got to his team's apple and began blowing it, not making it move at all "Guys, it's not working!"
Damien quickly called out "Use your head!" Tyler did so with headbutting the apple "I guess that works too."
"That's a concussion waiting to happen." Damien said.
"Whatever gets us the win though." Millie noted.
DJ grabbed his apple and began swimming back until a turtle approached him "Ah, evil turtle!?"
"Of course, DJ. It's called turtle pond for a reason." Blaineley explained.
Unfortunately for DJ luck wasn't on his side as he began getting mauled by many of the turtles. "Mama!"
Over at Team Amazon Sierra was showing Chase how to put the apple on his head "Awe, sweet girl!" Chase said happily as the camera cut back to Team Amazon watching the two.
"Go Sierra you got this!" Ella cheered out.
"Hurry up guys!" Courtney called out.
"She is so weird." Cody noted.
"She is but she is our only chance to not come in last place." Kitty said as Cody nodded.
Back over at Team Victory no one was aware of Heather and Scott's sabotage with Jasmine calling out "Come on mates we have a lead we can't blow it."
Tyler first came back to the water completely exhausted as Jasmine took it upon herself to carry him the rest of the way over her shoulder, DJ also came back with his clothes in shreds holding a lingering baby turtle until Brody walked up to him. "Here dude let me take care of it, back in the water you go." Brody said gently tossing the baby turtle back in the pond until a giant turtle ate the baby turtle whole.
"What the hell was that?" Shawn asked out loud.
"Never mind the turtle cannibalism. Let's go guys." Beth called out as all of Team Victory took off, well almost all of them.
Chase and Sierra managed to get their apples into Team Amazon's carriage with Anne-Maria yelling out "Hurry!"
Fountain
Blaineley and Chef were sitting at the fountain "I've been in talks with the producers. They are loving the show and the ratings."
Chef was a little excited hearing the news. "That's great, but I imagine there's a caveat to what you are saying."
"Don wants you to be more involved in the challenges. We're going to a food challenge, and he has some ideas for you." Blaineley was gonna continue before noticing Team Victory approaching. "Hold, here they come."
"We're awesome!" Shawn cheered out.
"Sweet first place!" Harold cried out until they heard a baby cooing and took the apples out of their cart noticing a pair of twin babies.
"Cameron and Lindsay regressed into babies." Tyler explained which once again got Damien to facepalm. "What?"
"No Tyler. We got the wrong carriage." Damien noted.
"So that's why the carriages felt a little lighter." Brody said.
"Not all your teammates are here so you have to go back and find them before we can say where you finish!" Blaineley said, shooing Team Victory away.
As Team Victory was running back, Millie asked a question that was on everyone's mind. "How was Team Style, not in first they were at least 5 minutes ahead of us,"
Meanwhile with Team Style
Alejandro was talking to the person Owen bought the pretzels from or rather Owen took the pretzels. "I am telling you we don't have any money and it's a silly pretzel."
"And I am telling you, I don't care, I need to be compensated somehow." the vendor said.
"I can't believe the last 2 countries Owen has gotten in trouble." Bowie added in disbelief.
"Okay we don't have any money, what can we offer in return?" Trent asked.
"I have an idea." the vendor said, looking at Trent and Alejandro seductively.
Back at Turtle Pond
"Okay who gets a big kiss?" the mother asked after getting off the phone only to discover that Cameron and Lindsay were there and not her twin babies making her scream which in turn made Cameron and Lindsay freak out and scream as well.
Shawn and Jasmine quickly showed up to swap the carriages "Sorry for the inconvenience. Ma'am." Shawn said politely, swapping the carriages as they quickly took off.
Fountain/End Of Challenge
All of the teams were shown running to the finish line with Team Amazon showing up first, followed closely by Team Style, and lastly was Team Victory.
"We lost!?" Harold yelled out.
Blaineley stood up from the fountain and began to say, "Okay before I announce the winners and losers, Trent, Alejandro, why are you guys without your shirts?" The camera sure enough panned over to a shirtless Trent and Alejandro.
Jo decided to explain "Owen took a couple of hot pretzels from a pretzel stand, didn't pay for it so we had to have these two give up their shirts for compensation."
"I'm not complaining." Jen said quietly to herself, which Alejandro interpreted for him, but in reality, it was for someone else.
"Ooh Chef. Get the pretzel guy to sign a waiver so we can use the footage in the final cut." Blaineley excitedly said.
"Stupid no-good show." Chef said walking off.
"Ugh! This is such freaking crap! We can never win a dang challenge. Gosh!" Harold yelled out.
"Harold baby, calm down now!" Leshawna told Harold.
"No, I am not calming down. We have dead weight on this team and so many people screwed up, some more than others." Harold said pointedly looking at Ezekiel which made him gulp.
"Now for the matter at hand." Blaineley began. "Amazon, you get first, Style gets second place, and Victory is sending somebody home, also Team Amazon you guys get a bonus reward."
Confessional- Noah
"Honestly it's a small miracle we got second place, I heard on the way back Heather and Scott swapped carriages, and I am pretty sure Heather would have had it been mine had Jo and Sky not bailed us out. Specifically bailed out Owen. I swear we need another eating challenge as people are starting to look at him as useless. He isn't."
Economy Class
Leshawna and Harold were sitting alone with each other in economy class. "Harold what the hell was that for?"
"I am just so sick and tired of losing." Harold explained.
"I am too, but now due to your outburst you could be on the chopping block." Leshawna stated.
"Can you at least join me in voting Ezekiel out?" Harold asked.
"I will but I wanna know it's for the game and not personal. Playing personally cost me last time and I am not making that mistake again." Leshawna explained.
"It's both." Harold said weakly.
"Fine, just hang tight and let me get the votes." Leshawna began walking away. "Why must that fool be so charming and frustrating." she said to herself.
Common Area
Millie and Damien were shown talking on one of the tables, or at the very least their conversation was starting "You wanted to talk to me Damien?" Millie asked.
"Yeah, I have an idea on who I want to eliminate, I assume you have no idea?" Damien asked back.
"No, I don't. Everyone on this team gets along. Okay Harold and Ezekiel do not get along at all, so I assumed those two were the options." Millie reasoned until she saw Damien raise an eyebrow. "Did you have a different idea?"
"I do. Look I might be overthinking, but it might be best to keep both of them in the game gunning for each other while we play the middle and stay under the radar." Damien began to explain. "That's why I think it's best for us to take Beth out."
"Beth!? Really, her, why?" Millie asked. Before she could answer Shawn and Jasmine came into the common area.
"Perfect two people I need to talk to." Damien stated.
"Really us? Who are you guys talking about voting out?" Shawn asked.
"Damien suggested Beth." Millie stated.
"Look, I don't wanna see anybody leave this team, but Beth is the best bet." Damien said. "She volunteered to watch the carriages, and she couldn't even do that. Also, I think she could be in league with enemy team members."
"Explain?" Jasmine asked.
"I saw her talking with Alejandro before the challenge. I don't know if he got her to throw the challenge, but she looked unsure and she left Cameron and her best friend when she was supposed to watch them as she assigned herself to watch the carriages. That, and she volunteered to be leader and failed at that." Damien explained.
"That and our team doesn't need a leader right now." Jasmine noted.
At that moment Cameron walked in and yawned. "Hey guys, I heard we lost, so who are we voting for?" he asked.
Jasmine, Shawn, and Millie were about to say Beth when Damien spoke up, "We're voting Harold duh? The dude treats Ezekiel horrible."
"Agreed, well thanks guys. Zeke is feeling pretty down so this will lift his spirits up." Cameron said walking away.
"Now where was I?" Damien asked, but before he could continue Leshawna walked up to the four of them.
"Hey, Harold, Lindsay, Beth, Tyler, and I were wondering if you guys could vote out Ezekiel for us. He's probably our team's weakest link." Leshawna asked the group of four.
"Of course. Harold was right to feel angry." Damien stated as Leshawna walked away satisfied.
Jasmine spoke up, "I imagine I can speak for Millie and Shawn when I say, since when do you speak for all of us?"
"I don't but we need this war between Harold and Ezekiel to continue, but we have to pretend we are on either Harold's side or Ezekiel's side and who are Harold and Ezekiel's closest allies respectively?" Damien asked.
"Leshawna and Cameron respectively." Shawn answered.
"Exactly. They can't know about the Beth plan as I wanna leave some people in the dark. Come on guys, this is fun, this is chaotic. Let's make this game fun!" Damien said excitedly.
"Are you making the game fun in your eyes because the challenges aren't?" Shawn asked.
"Maybe. Look in games like this, I've researched it, being in the middle is the perfect position as it gives you many options and keeps you safe." Damien explained.
"Okay, I follow your logic Damien, but where are we gonna get the votes to send Beth out. There are only four of us and Leshawna said along with herself she has 5 votes." Millie explained.
"That's where the next part comes in, Bridgette, Geoff, and DJ. Also, Brody if Geoff tells him." Damien began to say. "Shawn you're somewhat close to DJ?"
"To an extent, but I don't know if he will vote out Beth with us since you know he voted to give her a million dollars last season?" Shawn explained.
"Oh, he did. He could be a tough nut to crack." Damien said, pondering.
"Is there a better option to do this vote?" Jasmine asked.
Millie spoke up next, "No there isn't. Lindsay would never turn against Beth, if what Damien is saying is true, we need both Harold and Ezekiel along with their closest allies pitted against each other. I guess we could try Tyler?" she reasoned.
"I do wanna say I had no idea Damien you thought about the game this hard." Jasmine said unsure how to feel about him. "If we do this move, we are all in this group to the end agreed?"
"Agreed." Shawn, Millie, and Damien said truthfully in the moment.
Cargo Hold
Bridgette and Geoff were sitting close to the stairs while DJ was walking in circles as Bridgette spoke up "Is there any way we can unpause what was said in the Yukon?" she asked.
"I wanna leave it paused especially since we have to eliminate someone, how are you holding up DJ?" Geoff asked.
"Honestly unsure, I don't want to send either Harold or Ezekiel home." DJ reasoned. At that moment Shawn walked up to them. "Hey Shawn, what were you thinking for this vote as we assume it's Harold or Ezekiel."
"What are you guys thinking?" Shawn asked back.
"It's hard." Bridgette explained "Both are our friends, Ezekiel less so but he didn't screw up as much, but he is just an easy consensus pick."
"Maybe, and I am just throwing it out there, we get rid of Beth." Shawn slyly suggested.
"Beth? Nuh-uh. No way! She is so nice!" DJ immediately protested.
"No, man wait, let's hear him out dude." Geoff said.
"Okay DJ, you're right that Beth is nice. But being so nice and so well liked makes you a threat, Millie told me this morning before the day started that Bridgette and Geoff that was why both of you were targeted in Season 1." Shawn explained.
"I mean true." DJ said reluctantly.
"Also, she was supposed to watch the carriages, and yet went over to taunt Heather, and as great as I imagine it would be for us to get rid of Heather, she's on the other team." Shawn further said. "Look I can speak for Jasmine and myself, when I say we will both have all 3 of your guys back. I promise you that." Shawn said as he walked away.
Confessional- Shawn
"I didn't tell a single lie to those three. Right now, Jasmine is my closest ally but if Damien thinks he can play the middle between Harold and Ezekiel then it's time for me to get my hands dirty metaphorically and play good with both DJ and Damien."
Back To Cargo Hold
Bridgette was the first to speak up "I heard from Leshawna that she along with Lindsay, Beth, Harold, and Tyler are all voting Ezekiel out. Mainly because she told me that with Zeke gone maybe Harold won't be so sour."
DJ was next to speak "I imagine Cameron and Ezekiel are striking against Harold. Where does that leave Millie and Damien?" DJ asked.
"I don't know dudes. This is all so confusing." Geoff said looking confused.
Bridgette began to explain, "It's simple, we have 5 votes on Ezekiel, and either 2 votes on Beth, or Harold while the other has 4."
DJ realized what Bridgette was getting at "Which leaves us 3 and Brody. Geoff will Brody vote with you no matter what you say?" he asked.
"He should dudes. Look, you two decide who to vote for and report back to me. All this gaming is making my head spin." Geoff said, getting out of the cargo hold.
"DJ, do you want my honest opinion?" Bridgette asked.
"Of course." DJ stated.
"I like all three of them, but any of Harold, Ezekiel, or Beth could go and it would make sense." Bridgette stated.
Elimination Ceremony
As Team Victory was walking to the elimination ceremony Damien pulled Tyler behind the statue, "You and I need to talk." Damien said.
"Yeah dude, what's up?" Tyler asked his close friend.
"The plan has changed. The team is voting Beth out." Damien said quietly.
"What no, I can't do that. Not to my Lindsay." Tyler said, about to walk back to the booth.
Damien in desperation whispered in Tyler's ear "As long as Beth's here, she will be in the way for Lindsay's loyalty." Damien whispered quietly leaving Tyler stunned.
Confessional- Damien
"I am not trying to play a scheming or devious game. But with how crazy this game is, I wanna make sure my position in the game is safe so I can focus on the challenges later."
Back To Elimination Ceremony
Chris was standing with a tray of 14 marshmallows, "Alright contestants. I have calmed down now, but the show must go on. It's time to vote."
Confessional- Millie
"Beth is a great girl, but Damien is right, if we don't get her out, she could lead this team to destruction. Sorry girl."
Confessional- Harold
"I am going to enjoy seeing you plummet to the ground, Ezekiel. Bye!"
Confessional- Ezekiel
"If Harold hates me why bother keeping him around eh. Sorry though, I wanted to be friends."
Confessional- Bridgette
"Honestly any of them could go. All 3 of them have pros and cons, but in the end, I decided to go with-
Back To Elimination Ceremony
Chris continued with the ceremony, 12 of you received no votes. The following players are safe. Brody, DJ, Bridgette, Tyler, Leshawna, Lindsay, Jasmine, Geoff, Millie, Cameron, Damien, and Shawn." Chris announced as Harold glared at Ezekiel.
"Bottom 3 please step forward. Each of you racked up a lot of votes. In the end the vote was 9 votes to send home, 4 for another and 2 for another. Safe with 2 votes is Harold!" Chris announced.
"Dang it. Sorry Zeke." Cameron said sadly to himself, feeling resigned to his closest ally and his fate.
"The final marshmallow goes too….
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
….. Ezekiel!" Chris announced as Ezekiel solemnly grabbed his marshmallow.
The tension was so thick it was hard to feel anything but uneasiness, Harold said quietly to himself "What the hell?" Ezekiel breathed a sigh of relief and walked back to the bleacher. Thankful to still be in the game somehow. Lindsay was in near tears, while Leshawna could sense the rage building in Harold.
"Beth with 9 votes. You have officially been eliminated from Total Drama World Race. Any final words?" Chris asked.
Harold however took the time to speak up, "What the hell happened. I was promised by many people that Ezekiel was going home like he deserves. What happened?" Harold said angrily standing from the bleacher.
"Yo, homie. I am right here, and I do deserve to stay in the game. I bailed us out in Japan, I put my all into every damn challenge we have eh." Ezekiel said, also standing. "Harold, dude, I am gonna ask you point blank, why do you hate me so much?"
"Why do I hate you, because you ruined my social standing with everyone during Season 1. I was in association with you after the sexist remarks you made, and no matter how many times I showed off with my mad skills in dodgeball, the talent contest, it was never enough, and I was always an outcast. Then you have the nerve at Playa Des Losers to shame me for getting rid of Courtney, something I always regretted looking back on as she didn't deserve that, but instead of being my friend. You isolated me and wanted me to starve! Point blank Ezekiel as you like to say now, fuck off, fuck your fake niceness, and if you ever talk to me again, I will show you I am not to be messed with. Fuck you!" Harold yelled out as the room fell silent as everyone was stunned at Harold's outburst.
Everyone in the room could hear a pin drop, Beth who was the one eliminated awkwardly spoke up, "I'll guess, I'll be going then." Beth said as she began walking to the exit with parachute in hand, "Do your best Lindsay. I believe in you."
"I'll try." Lindsay said sadly as her best friend soon left. Lindsay leaned over to Tyler, "Babe, how could Ezekiel only get 4 votes. We had 5." she wondered. At that moment Tyler's eyes widened.
"I am sure it would be great for you guys to hash things out, after all of that, but Team Amazon has some rewards to pick up so, away with you." Chris said, indicating for Team Victory to leave.
Confessional- Harold
"I have had a lot of pent-up frustration towards Ezekiel since Season 1, and it felt odd to let it all out. I figured he would respond or defend his actions. I just hope my actions there didn't just cost me the game.
Confessional- Tyler
"Crap, crap, shit. I listened to Damien last second and now Lindsay is wondering already wondering how it was only 4 votes. I am bad at keeping secrets. But things were so tense in that room after Harold's meltdown that I didn't wanna say anything. I just wanted to crawl away from everyone after that."
Confessional- Ezekiel
(tearfully) "It's all my fault because Harold has so much anger for me eh. I… I don't look back on who I was during Season 1 fondly at all, I said some truly horrific things, and I can't change that. I like to think I have changed for the better, but actions speak louder than words, and I wanna show Harold that I can be a true friend. If I ever even get the chance to though."
Team Amazon's Reward
Blaineley was now standing in front of Team Amazon with 3 giant apples. "You guys, have at the prizes since you won the challenge ladies."
"Hey!" Cody yelled out in protest.
"Sorry ladies and a crying baby." Blaineley said in a snarky way.
"Hey!" Cody protested while being handed a mallet.
"Isn't it a bit much to have a mallet?" Mickey asked.
"I'll be fine. You worry too much about me." Cody said as he walked up to the first apple and smashed it.
"CANDY!" Cody and Kitty both screamed out running straight for it!
"Hey. leave some for the rest of us." Courtney protested. Cody and Kitty both looked at each other with the former in a slight blush ignoring what Courtney was saying.
Sierra walked up to the second apple, opened it to reveal more apples, "Ooh apples!"
"Oh, this is perfect. Apples are healthy and help the complexion of my skin." Topher said, picking some up.
"Should I thank Chris for the apples?" Sierra asked.
"Sorry Sierra, but after your little incident, Chris doesn't want to talk to you until the next challenge." Blaineley explained.
Heather walked up to the last one "I believe I should be the one to open the last one, all things considered."
"The carriage swap did ensure us at least a second-place finish." Emma reasoned.
"It was actually kind of clever. Pains me to say it but it was good thinking Heather!" Gwen said very reluctantly.
Heather scratched the apple up to reveal the prize, which was a meat grinder. "A meat grinder? You have to be kidding me? This has to be the fake prize"
"Wait hold onto it, at worst it's something to share with the team and at best we use it in a future challenge." Topher said.
Heather looked at her teammates and while many were indifferent, she looked to Zoey who mouthed "Keep it" to Heather.
Knowing she is short on allies, Heather decided it was best to listen to Zoey and keep the grinder "Okay I will keep it around but can someone else hold it. It's gross."
"No problem." Scott said walking up and taking it from her.
Blaineley decided to close out the episode. "What will the fallout be from Beth's blindside? Can Team Amazon keep up this upward momentum and who is the next sucker getting pushed off this plane? Find out next time on the Total Drama World Race!" she announced.
Elimination Order
48th- Lorenzo (Team Style, 15-1 vote, Episode 2)
47th- Laurie (Team Victory, 14-2 vote, Episode 2)
46th- Izzy (Team Style, 10-5 vote, Episode 3)
45th- Sadie (Team Amazon, 9-5-1-1 vote, Episode 4)
44th- Beth (Team Victory, 9-4-2 vote, Episode 5)
Votes
Beth- 9 (Damien, Millie, Tyler, Bridgette, DJ, Shawn, Geoff, Brody, Jasmine)
Ezekiel- 4 (Harold, Leshawna, Beth, Lindsay)
Harold- 2 (Ezekiel, Cameron)
Notes:
Holy cow this episode took a long time to write. Over 14,000 words. Didn't expect it to be that long, but no regrets.
Now for the stuff that deviates from the canon episode. First of all, the shopping trip scene. I pretty much wanted that to further set up Beth's downfall this episode and to showcase Julia for the first time.
I cut out Alejandro manipulating Sierra into revealing Chris' embarrassing secrets as I wanted her to do it unprovoked.
The reason for there being two carriages was mainly due to the large team sizes.
As for the song, due to the large cast size, I wanted to keep the song, but I decided to add in some extra lines, and not have the song solely dominated by Owen, Courtney and Lindsay.
The pretzel vendor scene. Straight up that was used so Team Amazon could be first and to establish Trent x Jen a bit more and have a bit of a running gag of Owen unknowingly pissing off the locals.
Now it's time for the elimination of Beth. I wanna say I do like Beth. But when writing this season out, I could not think of how to bring her too far in the game, as I needed her elimination to really kick start some other plots I had planned on Team Victory (mainly Lindsay, Tyler, and Damien's). So I decided to eliminate her in New York City. Then came the difficult part in eliminating Beth. I knew I didn't want her to solely be an Alejandro victim as I literally just did that with Sadie. So, I decided instead to twist it a bit and decided to have a few antagonists ultimately cause her downfall, mainly Alejandro, Scott, and Heather.
Lastly if you have seen the new Total Drama season, you guys know that Damien is not a villain far from it and he is definitely not a villain in this story. What I have planned for him, you'll have to stay tuned to find out.
Next chapter we go to Morocco and deviate towards some Ridonculous Race locations with Ridonculous Race challenges spun in a way that they are World Tour challenges. Another blindside happens as the 6th person will be voted out.
Until next time this is TDFan1998 signing off. Have a great day.
Chapter 7: 5 Down 43 To Go
Summary:
The 43 remaining contestants go to Morocco for an eating contest. The losing team sends another player home, in the most dramatic elimination, with one person betraying many people behind their allies back, blindsiding many people and the person who does it, is the least expected.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- 5 Down 43 To Go
Recap
Chris started the recap, "New York! The city that eats other cities for breakfast."
Blaineley was next "Our competitors went to great heights to discover New York's finest even if some got a bit too close for comfort, like Cameron and Ezekiel."
"From the top of the Statue of Liberty to a retail clothing store, and the big apple sewers. Our competitors went through it all." Chris went on.
Blaineley continued "Despite Heather's wishes to sabotage Team Style she settled on Team Victory which took part in Beth's downfall in this game, which was cemented when Damien gathered enough votes to send her out the door, blindsiding her best friend, Lindsay."
"But what no one could expect was Harold's hate filled diatribe against Ezekiel, shocking everyone, but will make for some awesome ratings. We have lucky number 43 competing, and another unfortunate sucker is getting kicked off."
"43 isn't a lucky number but stay tuned for all the crazy drama right here on Total Drama World Tour!" Blaineley finished as the show cut to the intro.
Theme Song
Dear Mom and Dad I'm Doing Fine
The theme song immediately begins showing Owen underwater swimming while Noah and Cameron look on in disgust underwater pointing to Owen's lack of swimsuit which makes Owen instantly cover up
You Guys Are On My Mind
The camera pans up to show Harold showing off his moves on top of a weaved boat while Dave and Leshawna look confused until a paddle is shown hitting Dave and Harold knocking them into the water while Leshawna glares as the camera pans to Duncan who is laughing at the situation.
You Asked Me What I Wanted To Be
Brick, Eva, Jo, Sky, and Courtney are shown paddling the boat with Jo and Sky glaring at each other with Sky also glaring at Duncan for what he did to Dave, while Brick looks enthusiastic and Eva has a neutral expression.
Now I Think The Answer Is Plain To See
The boat crashes into a raft holding Gwen, Ella, Kitty, and Mickey with Gwen looking resigned to her fate, Ella not seeming to mind while Mickey looks freaked out until Kitty gives him a pat on the back to try and calm him down.
I Wanna Be Famous
Duncan quickly tries to pull Gwen off the raft but Courtney stops and glares at him as the camera flashes to the next scene.
I Wanna Live Close To The Sun
Alejandro and Bowie are shown helping Heather and Julia up the Statue of Liberty with Justin glaring at Alejandro while Bowie tries to push Julia back down but she moves out of the way as Justin helps Bowie from falling to the ground.
Well Pack Your Bags Cause I Already Won
Tyler and Chase are shown pushing carriages containing Cody and Emma respectively as the latter two look on in fear but Ezekiel trips Tyler and Shawn trips Chase causing both Emma and Cody to go freefalling out of the sky while Jasmine looks on in worry.
Everything To Prove Nothing In My Way
Cody and Emma land in Sierra's arms with Sierra tossing Emma to the snow on her head with ease and then giving Cody a huge hug much to his discomfort. Lindsay is then shown a picture of Tyler, confused about it as Beth, Sadie, and Katie try to explain who he is before a bear shows up scaring all of them and making them run away.
Cause I Wanna Be Famous
The person shown in the bear is Izzy who laughs, while Millie is shown writing in her notebook, Laurie winces at the sight, and Scott laughs as well about the whole thing until a seal comes and bites Izzy's hands making all of them run away.
Na Na Na Na Na
Geoff, Brody, and Bridgette are shown surfing really well, while Damien, DJ, and Lorenzo are shown struggling, causing all 6 to pile up soon after.
Na Na Na Na Na
On a street in presumably Europe, Trent and Jen are shown dancing on the road enjoying the moment, same with Zoey and Topher until Anne-Maria tries to grab on to Topher confusing him and making Zoey glare, however all 5 stop when the jumbo jet comes near the ground making all 5 duck for cover.
I Wanna Be I Wanna Be I Wanna Be Famous
All of the cast is shown falling out of the sky with parachutes with Sierra holding onto Cody as Cody looks worried and notices Mickey looking worried at the ground.
I Wanna Be I Wanna Be I Wanna Be Famous
The cast begins hitting the ground with most doing well until Mickey does poorly on the landing and Ezekiel hits the ground hard.
(Whistling)
Noah is shown looking worried at Ezekiel and Mickey's bad dismount before the theme song and intro cuts.
(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
Team Victory was shown walking back from their elimination ceremony as the mood was very down after Beth's ouster. Lindsay was the first to speak up "Gosh, I am gonna miss Beth so much."
"Me too girl." Leshawna said reassuringly.
"It just doesn't make sense though Lafonda, I don't get how Beth got 9 votes." Lindsay lamented before she turned to Tyler. "You voted Ezekiel out right Tyler?" Lindsay asked.
"Oh yeah of course, why wouldn't I. Of course I did." Tyler quickly said.
"Thanks babe." Lindsay said as she kissed Tyler.
Confessional- Tyler
"This is bad. I suck at lying, but if I tell Lindsay I voted her best friend out, it may break her heart, and she may never like me again. Ugh, what to do?"
Confessional- Bridgette
"The mood on the team right now is very somber. A lot of words were said specifically from Harold to Ezekiel. I'm just hoping that little feud doesn't make us lose again."
Confessional- Harold
"I know that what I said to Ezekiel was harsh, but it was what needed to be said. He is still my first target, and I am shocked he is still here since I thought he seemed destined to be eliminated first."
Back To Scene
Leshawna noticed Harold was still glaring at Ezekiel and decided she had enough. "That's it. You're coming with me honey." Leshawna declared dragging Harold by the ear.
"Ow, ow, ow. What was that for?" Harold said indignantly.
"You are embarrassing yourself in front of the whole team by yelling at Ezekiel. Now that I know why you hate him so much it is embarrassing." Leshawna sternly told Harold.
"Well, he's also the weakest link on the team and not to mention his comments during Season 1." Harold quickly said, defending himself.
Leshawna however was not convinced at all "You Harold are a fool if you ask me. No, and before you have something to say back, I am going to give you a reality check. You not being well liked during Season 1 has nothing to do with Ezekiel at all. You were awkward, left your clothes on the ground and you can't blame and scapegoat everything on Ezekiel." Leshawna ranted.
"What, are you saying I'm insecure?" Harold asked back defensively.
"Yes, I do, but last season you finished 5th place last season. You need to let go of the past and that includes this ridiculous grudge against Ezekiel and until then I don't want to talk things out. Understood?" Leshawna sternly said.
"Crystal clear." Harold said with his head down in shame at what Leshawna just told him.
The Next Morning
Eva is shown working out in the economy class doing pushups and crunches while both Team Victory and Style sleep in the economy section. Jo woke up next and saw Eva working out "You want to be my workout buddy, gym rat?" Jo asked.
"Yeah, sure whatever." Eva said, barely paying attention.
Confessional- Jo
"My plan has remained the same. I need to get rid of Dave. I'm unsure if the votes are there but getting Eva on board is a good starting point."
Back To Scene
Both Eva and Jo are shown doing pushups and soon both are done. Eva, despite not being the one to admit when she has been bested or even admit someone has been equal to her, knew that Jo was someone who could keep up with her. Also heading into this season, she knew her temper was the main reason why she was eliminated twice during Island.
As such, Eva complimented Jo "You did a great job." Eva said.
"Same with you thunder thighs." Jo said as a backhanded compliment. But Jo also had the game in mind as she felt that she needed Dave out of the game, "I was just wondering have you thought of who to eliminate if we go to the elimination ceremony again?"
"Nah, I just focus on the challenges and winning them, why do you have a target in mind?" Eva asked.
"As a matter of fact, I do have a target in mind Dave. He is the weakest one physically on our team and besides Sky no one else would miss him at all." Jo explained.
"That's interesting and a lot to think about." Eva said as she began to see the other team members begin to wake up "Look, let's talk about this later, and I'll say whether I'm down or not."
Confessional- Eva
"Jo has some solid points and if Dave is out the door anyway than it may not be the worst thing for Dave to leave and to swap out him for Jo alliance wise."
Economy Class
As Team Victory and Team Style began waking up, the camera panned over to Bowie and Duncan with Duncan carving something on the bench as he looked up, "What?" Duncan said in an irritating tone.
"The thing you're carving is looking a lot like-" Bowie began to say.
"Just stop right there, I'm not talking about Courtney or Gwen today at all." Duncan said angrily which instantly shut Bowie up.
First Class
Many of the people in First Class were asleep sans Heather. The main thing on her mind was the damn meat grinder. She saw the thing as a fake prize and wanted to toss it out of the plane. She couldn't as she didn't want to alienate herself from the team, but the thing felt so useless to have.
Scott was the next person to wake up and noticed Heather staring down the meat grinder. "Hey sweet cheeks, why are you staring down that grinder?" Scott asked Heather.
"I just don't get why we have a stupid meat grinder. That feels completely useless. It better be for the next challenge as I want to chuck it out of the plane." Heather explained.
"It's definitely odd. That meat grinder feels like such an odd tool. But you shouldn't throw it out as it will piss everyone off if we do need it." Scott told Heather.
Meanwhile a flight attendant was walking by and accidentally rang a bell that was right next to Cody. This instantly caused Cody to freak out "NO MORE FOOT RUBS SIERRA!" Cody yelled out.
Cody's outburst instantly caused Mickey and Kitty to instantly wake up, "Wah dude, what's wrong?" Mickey asked.
Cody looked around and then caught his breath, "It's nothing Mickey, the bell went off, so I thought Sierra was invading my space. I say we should go back to sleep, but I have to imagine the challenge will be soon." Cody said but still passed out soon afterwards.
Mickey and Kitty looked at Cody in concern as Mickey spoke up "He looks worse than me around pencils." Mickey noted before looking over at Kitty, "I'll explain another time. Honestly for his sake and ours we need to eliminate Sierra as soon as possible." Mickey told Kitty.
"I just wish Sierra would learn to back off and boundaries. Cody is not doing well at all mentally." Kitty said sadly.
"Agreed. It's really hard seeing him like this." Mickey said.
Common Area
Everyone was now gathered around in the Common area as Chris and Blaineley began to explain the challenge "Attention contestants, we are going to be landing in our next destination which is Morocco." Blaineley told everyone.
"Also, it was originally going to be called Italy until it was found out there was actually an Italy." Chris stated.
Ezekiel whispered over to Cameron "Is that true?"
Cameron reaffirmed "Yep it is true."
Chris however was growing impatient "Are you guys done gossiping?"
"Yes Chris." Both said at the same time.
"Good. Now Morocco has scorching hot heat, spices and deserts. Now since we already had a desert challenge not too long ago. Today's challenge is going to be more focused on the spices." Chris announced.
"Oh, great spicy foods one of my weaknesses." Dave said in fear.
"We'll be landing soon and be warned the spices will be hotter than a Californian beach." Blaineley told everyone.
Confessional- Lindsay
"Ugh I would have loved it if we went to California instead."
Cargo Hold
Many of the contestants were shown walking into the cargo hold as the camera panned to Owen "I am so pumped we have a food challenge. This is ours for the taking." Owen proudly exclaimed.
"Of course, that's all you're good for." Alejandro quietly said to himself. However, Noah overheard Alejandro and decided to stay quiet but rolled his eyes at what Alejandro said.
The camera panned over to Lindsay who was with Bridgette and Leshawna. "Morocco was one of the places Beth and I were so excited to see together this season."
Bridgette spoke up "I'm sure she will see how awesome the place is."
"Yeah girl, just try and win this game for her as well." Leshawna reassured Lindsay.
"Thanks Leshawna, it means a lot." Lindsay said.
"You got my name right? Thanks." Leshawna told Lindsay.
"Of course, we have been together for 3 seasons now." Lindsay explained as Leshawna and Bridgette looked at Lindsay in astonishment.
Outside Challenge Restaurant
The scene flashed to everyone standing right outside a small run-down building "Okay everyone here's the location of our challenge. We have rented this place out for the next 5 hours. Let's get in now as we are going to need every bit of the 5 hours." Chris said.
As everyone was walking into the building Jen looked down "Ooh an authentic Moroccan carpet, I would totally take this for myself if it was legal."
"I would take it regardless." Duncan said.
The camera next panned over to Eva and Noah "If we get the chance we need to talk, I have an idea for our alliance." Eva said which left Noah confused on what she was implying.
As everyone entered the dining room Blaineley spoke up "Everyone take a seat at your team's table. Here's how the challenge works. Each round every one of you will have a bowl of Moroccan stew in front of you, digest the stew and you move on to the next round."
"If you fail to finish it within the time frame you are out of the challenge. 10 rounds in total. Each round gets progressively harder. Also, each round you make it through you earn a point for your team." Chris stated.
"Sounds simple enough." Sky noted.
"Oh, and here is a little extra kick, if at the end of the challenge the teams are tied for last both teams go to elimination and that applies if everyone ties for first and last." Chris stated, making everyone nervous as can be.
"That's so unfair." Heather yelled out.
"Do I look like I give a crap. Oh, and because Team Amazon has one extra person, both Team Style and Team Victory get 5 extra points to even it out. Oh, and the person who scores the best on the losing team wins immunity tonight from the elimination." Chris further explained.
Confessional- Heather
"Despite Chris, Blaineley and their bullshit rules. Having immunity tonight would be awesome, allowing me more time to assemble my army to take out Gwen and Courtney."
Confessional- Noah
"This challenge is perfect for Owen. A couple of days ago he chewed down on half a shower curtain here in the plane. They had cupcakes on them so that's why he chowed down on it. I still wonder though what Eva is alluding to. Our alliance of her, me, Owen, and Dave is strong enough. Here's hoping I don't lose another alliance member tonight."
Confessional- Jasmine
"This challenge is actually a great way for me to step up and stand out. Team Victory needs to bounce back and hopefully this time we will finally win a challenge and get to be in First Class."
Round 1
"Allright, round 1. Ready, set, go!" Chris announced blowing a whistle.
On Team Amazon, right away Courtney, Scott, and Sierra quickly finished their bowls. With Scott he also felt very boastful "Ha, I beat you, Courtney."
"No, you didn't, my stomach is an absolute gauntlet. Wanna make this a competition farm boy?" Courtney proudly asked.
"Oh, you are so on." Scott proudly stated.
"You really have no idea how competitive I am. You are going down bucko." Courtney gloated.
On Team Style, Jo, Brick, Julia, Owen and Eva finished first for their team as Jo leaned over to Eva "Dave has barely touched his stew, all the more reason he should go." Jo whispered over to Eva.
On Team Victory, Shawn, Ezekiel, and Jasmine finished early. While back at Team Amazon, Heather, Gwen, Zoey, Kitty and Chase finished next as Chase boasted about him doing so well "Come on babe, I figured you would keep up." Chase bragged.
"Shove it Chase." Emma said in an annoyed tone as she kept slurping her stew.
Back with Team Style, Duncan, Noah and Sky finish as Sky looks over to Dave and realizes that Dave had barely touched his stew. "Come on Dave, we have to finish and get the point for their teams."
"I know, I just don't have a strong stomach, and I can barely stand this stew." Dave explained.
"I understand but it could be you going home." Sky explained her side.
"I guess I can try a little." Dave told himself.
Meanwhile more people finished with Team Amazon only had Ella left to finish as Mickey finished his stew "I am gonna feel that in the morning." Mickey lamented.
Trent and Jen finished soon after as Jen looked worried "What's wrong?" Trent asked.
"Did any of the stew get on my shirt?" Jen asked.
"No of course not. Just relax." Trent reassured.
Next Justin and Bowie finished "That's repulsive." Bowie protested.
"Agreed." Justin said looking at Bowie trying to look at anything that wasn't the stew.
With Team Amazon they still had Ella who was struggling, Team Victory had DJ and Millie while Dave and Alejandro were struggling. For Ella she was still not doing well until Katie encouraged her "You can do it Ella!" Katie encouraged. Luckily this encouragement got Ella to finish with DJ and Millie finished just under a minute soon after. Dave soon finished with 30 seconds left and Alejandro got done with 5 seconds left.
"Congratulations, everyone has scored a point for their team." Blaineley announced as everyone cheered.
Round 2
"Okay everyone, we move on to Round 2. Now if you want to opt out of this round you can or take on the Level 2 stew. Any takers?" Chris asked.
"I'm out." Alejandro said gladly raising his hand making his way to the bench.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Eating challenges are not my thing at all. But I also know that no matter what I'm safe tonight so I'm willing to take the risk as my whole team likes me the most, even if all of them are fools to do so."
Second Round
"Ready, set, go." Blaineley announced.
At the second round everyone finishes in a similar pace to the first round, with Ella, DJ, and Dave being the last ones for their teams. Luckily for Team Victory and Amazon, both Ella and DJ finished with less than a minute to go.
"Come on Dave, finish." Sky encouraged Dave. Unfortunately for Dave his stomach couldn't handle it and he threw up on the ground.
"Oh shit." Dave said out loud. As he realized puking mean he was disqualified.
"Ooh nasty." Chris noted. "With that Dave you are out with only 1 point for your team since you didn't finish, let's move on to the next round."
"Make way. Bathroom!" Dave yelled off screen.
Confessional- Dave
"This challenge wasn't for me, but I can only hope showing that I at least had the guts to try in the second round and Alejandro didn't. Oh no not again!" Dave shown near puking again.
Third Round
"All right here we go round 3. Who is opting out?" Blaineley asked. Ella rose her hand first.
"Sorry teammates, I can't hang in another round." Ella said sadly making her way to the bench.
"It's fine." Gwen reassured her teammate. "I understand."
DJ and Millie also raised their hands "Sorry." DJ said going to the bench with Millie following right behind him.
Confessional- Millie
"I know my strengths and my limits, and that stew is making my stomach churn all over. My strategy is to fly under the radar and hopefully Team Victory understands."
Back To Third Round
As the round starts Owen finishes his stew first, "This is my favorite challenge so far!" Owen cheered out as he looked over to Noah "Are you gonna finish yours?"
Meanwhile over at the sit out bench for Team Style, Dave looked over at Owen "It's great that we have Owen on this team he is such a great person to have for an eating challenge."
Alejandro however was less than impressed as he just scoffed "I guess so. The dude is an idiot though."
Dave raised his eyebrows at Alejandro and spoke up "I'm confused by your disdain of Owen, yeah he can be a bit much and a bit gross. He's a decent guy when you get to know him. Same with people like Noah and Eva." Dave said unaware that Alejandro was just listening and absorbing the information.
"Interesting." Alejandro told himself.
"Everyone has moved on to the next round." Blaineley announced off screen.
Confessional- Alejandro
"It's interesting that Dave mentioned he feels good about people like Owen, Noah and Eva. I wonder if they could be working together."
Fourth Round
"Okay contestants we are moving on to the fourth round who is opting out now?" Chris asked. Katie, Mickey, Jen, Justin, Bowie, Lindsay and Cameron all raise their hands bowing out of the competition.
On Team Amazon's bench, Katie sat down next to Ella "Ugh, it is so humiliating not scoring well for our team. Or lasting long in the challenge." Katie lamented.
"You did better than me Katie, and besides with all the bickering on our team both of us should be fine." Ella reassured.
"You're right Ella. I just wanna say I love your optimistic nature; it's so cool you can be positive all the time." Katie noted.
"Thanks, life is too short to be negative." Ella explained.
Over at Team Style's bench Jen looked frustrated "I wish I did better, maybe I should have gone for a fourth round." Jen said.
Bowie however felt like Jen was someone he could work with and decided to be a friend to her in that moment, "You did the best you could." Bowie stated.
"Hey, where's my pep talk?" Justin asked annoyed.
"Okay fine you did your best too Justin. Happy now?" Bowie asked.
"Ugh I guess so." Justin said in a faked annoyed tone.
Over at Team Victory's bench, Lindsay and Cameron were talking as Lindsay still had her mind on Beth and how her best friend got eliminated "Hey Cameron is it? Can I ask you a question?"
"Sure, go right ahead Lindsay." Cameron assured.
"I just want to know who you voted for last elimination." Lindsay asked.
"Oh, Ezekiel and I voted for Harold due to him being kind of bossy. Sorry again about Beth. I had no idea she was getting eliminated." Cameron explained.
Confessional- Lindsay
"So, if Cameron and Zeke didn't vote out Beth, who else could have? It wasn't Tyler, right?" Lindsay asked looking very unsure by the end of the confessional.
End of Fourth Round
Back at the stew eating challenge, most of the remaining competitors were done except for Topher and Cody. The former was paranoid while the latter was starting to feel sick from the stew. Unfortunately for Cody he realized he slurped more than he should have. "Oh no, something is coming up." Cody yelled out and made an exit route straight outside of the building.
The round soon ended as Topher also came up short as he looked down at his shirt, he realized a decent amount of stew had gotten his shirt instantly making him shriek, "Aaahh! Get me another shirt pronto. This can't be happening. This is a nightmare." Topher yelled out.
Zoey who noticed Topher was stressed as can be decided to make her friend comfortable, "Calm down Topher. We'll find another shirt, it's not the end of the world. Just relax." Zoey said trying to calm him down as Topher gathered his nreath.
"I'll do my best. I will." Topher said trying to sound like he wasn't just freaking out.
"Awe what a sweet moment. Topher and Cody have both failed to complete their stews, so they are both out each scoring 3 points for Team Amazon." Chris explained.
Confessional- Topher
"You know what, it was actually kind of nice to have someone actually make me feel wanted and needed. Zoey is a really great friend to have."
Before Round 5
"Okay we are about to begin Round 5 folks." Blaineley announced. "Who is gonna not try for the 5th round?"
Trent raised his hand, and Anne Maria also rose her hand as well "I can't handle this anymore." Anne Maria said as she walked up to a freaked-out Topher. "Hey baby." Anne Maria said as Topher seemed confused at why she said that.
Meanwhile Trent walked up to Jen who was still feeling down about her challenge performance. "I need to see how she's doing."
Confessional- Anne Maria
"I could have gone on for another round, but I feel like that red hair chick likes Topher. That pretty boy is mine, so I'm going to be by his side for the rest of the challenge, so she doesn't get any ideas. Got that?"
Sit Out Area
Over at Team Style's bench, Trent asked Jen "Hey can we talk privately, you look down." Trent asked.
"What, what I'm fine." Jen said trying to sound convincing but ultimately wasn't.
"Girl you aren't." Bowie said sitting right next to her.
"Geeze thanks, Bowie. I guess if you want to talk Trent we can talk, I wouldn't mind." Jen said as her and Trent walked off screen.
"Ooh I smell a couple brewing." Bowie said happily.
"Oh please. I was in a boy band with Trent and saw the way Trent looked at Gwen during Season 1, and he doesn't look at her that way," Justin said watching the two walking away.
"You are wrong, and you know it." Bowie told Justin.
With Trent and Jen, they were right outside of the building as Trent cut right to the chase "Genuinely what's wrong now that it's the two of us here?" Trent asked.
"Nothing it's just, I'm so disappointed in my challenge performance today. Deep down I know I could have done better, and I should have done better, but I didn't. I came on to this show to promote my fashion blog and yet I am embarrassing myself in challenges" Jen said looking down in shame.
"Okay look, you did enough in the challenge, some will be to your strengths others won't. Besides Dave and Alejandro dropped out first so those two will probably be the ones up for elimination. Not us." Trent assured her.
"Okay. That's true." Jen said.
"I do also want to say that if somehow your name does get brought up for elimination tonight, I'll protect you in the game, let's vote together, and personally it would be great if we could make it all the way to the end together." Trent told Jen.
"I'd like that too." Jen said as she and Trent walked back to their team.
Back over at Team Amazon's bench, Cody was coming back from throwing up and sat down next to Mickey. Mickey quickly noted his appearance "Dude you look terrible." Mickey noted.
"Geeze thanks, that's all what I want to hear." Cody sarcastically said.
Mickey immediately recognized his mistake "Oh my gosh, I am so sorry. I didn't mean too; it's just sometimes I don't think before I talk and-" Mickey quickly said rambling.
"Okay, its fine. I know you didn't mean any harm by it. I was just joking. Just calm down buddy." Cody said. "I am shocked Kitty is still in, but she is doing great." Cody noted wistfully
"Yeah, she is doing great." Mickey said as well.
"Ooh does someone have a crush on Kitty?" Cody teased.
"No, no I don't. You have a crush on her." Mickey quickly said.
"Come on you know I only have eyes for Gwen at the end of the day." Cody noted looking over to Gwen.
"Sure, you do." Mickey said unconvinced, hoping his best friend would realize his true feelings.
The camera panned to Chris "Okay that is the end of the round 5, sorry Bridgette you didn't finish in time, so you only got 4 points for your team.
Confessional- Mickey
"I don't have a crush on Kitty or anyone for that matter. I've never felt love before. It's a weird thing and hard to explain. I mean both Cody and Kitty are my friends here but that's all either of them is. I promise. Heck, I don't even know what feeling in love is supposed to feel like."
Before the Sixth Round
Blaineley spoke up "Okay, round 6. Who is bowing out now?" Blaineley asked. At that moment, Harold, Gwen, Noah, and Geoff all raised their hands indicating they had enough.
Harold was less than pleased at his performance, saying to himself "Pathetic." Harold felt he needed a bigger bounce back after being near the bottom for elimination last time.
"Alright everyone, get ready and go." Chris announced.
For the 6th round many people hung in there. Unfortunately for Emma she realized a bit too late she was in way over her head "Bathroom!" Emma yelled out making way out of the room.
Chase however gave her some genuine encouragement that she herself didn't find encouraging "I'll be here for you babe when you are done." Chase yelled out.
As the timer stopped, Tyler had just barely lost and was eliminated "Emma and Tyler score 5 points for their team since they did not finish."
"What?! Oh, come on man." Tyler yelled in protest.
The Seventh Round
"Alright you crazy competitors, who is dropping out now securing 6 points for their team?" Chris asked. Heather and Damien were the two that ultimately decided enough was enough.
Damien noticed Tyler was still slumped over his seat "Yo, Tyler you have to get up buddy. We're both out of the challenge." Damien told him.
"Huh, oh yeah." Tyler said getting up. Noticing that no one was near him Tyler whispered over to Damien "Should I tell Lindsay the truth about the Beth vote?"
"No, it can break her heart and her feelings. You guys just got together not too long ago. No point in ruining that. Trust me, I have your best interest in mind." Damien told Tyler, as both genuinely believed Damien's sentiment.
Confessional- Heather
"I wish I could have stayed longer, that immunity would have been amazing. But I am hoping that my performance was good enough for Gwen and Courtney to back off."
The Eight Round
"Okay who is sitting out now securing 7 points since all have you made it this far." Chris asked.
Zoey, Kitty, Duncan, Jo, Brick, Sky, Leshawna, and Brody all raised their hands indicating they have had enough as Kitty walked up to Cody and Mickey.
"You did a great job Kitty." Cody said happily.
"Well, I see someone is feeling a lot better." Kitty cheerfully said.
"What me, I mean that puking was a fluke." Cody said trying to sound tough as the camera panned over to Mickey who raised his eyebrow at the exchange, what he was thinking however no one could truly tell.
Duncan came over to sit by his team's bench as he saw Scott smirk right in his direction.
Confessional- Scott
"Ha! I knew I would outlast Duncan; I am so proud of myself. (Silence) Wait, why do I care that I beat his ass in the challenge?"
Back to Scene
The scene flashed to Emma who was finally coming out of the bathroom after puking her guts out to see Chase right in front of her puking as well, which luckily for Emma made her feel a little proud of herself "At least I made it to the bathroom."
"Be quiet babe." Chase said weakly before puking some more.
The Ninth Round
"Here is where we stand. On Team Amazon we have Scott, Courtney, and Sierra. On Team Style we have Owen, Eva, and Julia, and lastly for Team Victory we have Jasmine, Shawn, and Ezekiel left. Does anyone want to opt out of the challenge now?"
"I will." Scott announced making Courtney gasp.
"What? Why?" Courtney asked before realizing she sounded way too concerned for Scott. "Actually, this just proves I have the stronger stomach."
"That it does." Scott said to himself walking to his team's bench.
Julia is next to raise her hand as Noah was shown talking to himself "I am shocked she lasted this long."
Confessional- Julia
"I may have a pretty face, but I actually do have a strong stomach. Don't underestimate me."
Back To Scene
As the 9th round kept going Ezekiel realized he made a mistake. "I'm out. I can't do this anymore, eh." Ezekiel said as he walked over to Harold who was still fuming about his mediocre challenge score. Despite knowing that Harold hated him, Ezekiel wanted to at least clear the air as Ezekiel still felt a certain kinship with Harold.
Harold however wasn't exactly feeling the happiest. He was angry at the challenge performance he gave, the last elimination not going his way and Leshawna abandoning him as an ally he felt. There was an awkward energy surrounding the air between Ezekiel and Harold before Harold looked over to Leshawna who mouthed to him "Go talk to him."
Harold as such decided that he wanted to make Leshawna happy most of all, and if that meant mending fences with Ezekiel then that's what he had to do, "I'm sorry." Harold said to himself.
Ezekiel thought he heard something and looked over to Harold, "Did you say something eh?"
"I just want to say I'm sorry Ezekiel for what I said the night before." Harold said, looking anywhere but at Ezekiel.
"Okay cut the bullshit eh. Are you saying this because you are genuinely sorry? Or are you saying this because of Leshawna?" Ezekiel asked suspiciously.
"Both?" Harold said meekly.
"Well, I should probably apologize as well for shaming you during Season 1. That wasn't my best moment. Wasn't my worst, we all know what that was eh." Ezekiel said.
"Yeah." Harold said, chuckling as the camera flashed away.
Final Round
"Here is where we stand folks, each team has 2 people left, now I am gonna ask one final time if any of the six of you want out of this challenge." Chris asked
"Bring it on Chris, anything for you." Sierra said in a creepy tone.
However, Shawn and Eva both raised their hands indicating they were done after 9 rounds. Shawn however walking back gave his partner that was left in the challenge some words of encouragement "You got this Jasmine." Shawn yelled out.
Over at Team Style's bench, Eva sat down next to Noah "Okay you said you had an idea for our alliance, what is it?" Noah asked.
"I think we should get rid of Dave and swap him out with Jo." Eva said.
"Wait what? No, no, no. That's a horrible idea." Noah said annoyed.
"But she is a lot better at challenges than Dave. He is dead weight for the team." Eva stated.
"He's not great at challenges but he is loyal to us. We can't afford to lose him whatsoever. That's just going to spell more trouble for us down the road." Noah explained. "I also don't trust Jo."
Unfortunately for Noah and Eva the camera panned over to Alejandro who was pretending to be asleep but opened his eyes once he heard Noah and Eva's conversation.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Aha I think I have found my ticket to ensure my safety no matter what tonight folks. Oh, Noah you act so smart but are really so stupid."
End of Final Round
Back at the last round, Owen is shown eating all of his stew. "Done. I can go for more." Owen cheered out.
"Hold on their big guy." Chris stated defensively.
At that moment Courtney and Sierra finished simultaneously. "Done!" Both cheered out.
"With that Team Amazon wins first place with 83 points and another trip back to First Class." Blaineley announced as Team Amazon cheered in excitement.
"Here's where we stand with 2 minutes left to go, Team Style and Victory are both at 80 points if Jasmine finishes the stew, Team Victory is safe, if not both teams go to elimination tonight. Team Style regardless, you guys are sending your third player home. However, Owen my man, you are immune tonight." Chris announced.
"Awesome" Owen cheered.
"Come on Jasmine dude you got this." Geoff cheered out.
"Jasmine, you got this, I believe in you." Shawn yelled out. At that moment, it was like a switch turned on for Jasmine as she began downing the last bowl of Moroccan stew.
"Jasmine, Jasmine, Jasmine!" Bridgette, Geoff and Brody all cheered out.
"Five, four, three, two, one!" Chris counted down "She's done it! Jasmine downs the last stew with only a second to spare. Team Victory you guys are still in Economy Class but you will not be sending anyone home tonight." Chris announced.
"Oh gosh, I'm definitely going to feel that in the morning. Worth it though." Jasmine said weakly.
Shawn however was overwhelmed with emotions and ran up to hug Jasmine "I knew you could do it." Shawn told her.
"Thank you." Jasmine said as she reciprocated the hug.
"As for Team Style, you are going to the elimination ceremony tonight where someone will be the sixth player eliminated. You have a few hours to debate who leaves and who stays." Blaineley told a dejected Team Style.
"I should have gone one more round." Eva said quietly to herself.
Walk Back To Plane
Everyone had cleared out of the shady restaurant as Heather was the first to speak up, "Ugh that stupid meat grinder was useless for this challenge."
Gwen however wasn't in a happy mood "Oh just shove it. We won the challenge so get over it already." Gwen snapped back.
Right outside the plane Eva pulled Jo aside "Sorry the plan to vote Dave out is off. He is loyal to me, and I don't think he is going after you either." Eva told Jo.
"If you say so." Jo said annoyed.
Noah who was near them also chimed in "Besides Alejandro is the clear target tonight as his days are numbered."
The camera panned over to Alejandro who spoke up "Oh really, I don't think so. This team would be fools to eliminate me."
Noah realized the error of his ways "Oh crap."
Alejandro decided to take control of the conversation "Everyone on Team Style!" He announced. "Team meeting, let's air some things out and clear the tension."
Noah was quickly defensive "No need to do that, right guys?"
Bowie was confused at what was going on but decided to go along with it "I am confused about what's going on but let's air stuff out."
"Thank you, Bowie. I want to first say I am not the one who should be going home. Dave should be the one to go home. He should have known his limits and not embarrassed himself" Alejandro said pointing right at Dave at the end of his statement.
Sky was quick to defend Dave "At least he didn't chicken out and took a risk." Sky defended.
"He did, but at the end of the day I am an absolute workhorse in the challenge while Dave is an absolute liability." Alejandro further pointed out.
"Ugh, that's just ridiculous, right everyone?" Sky said annoyed.
Brick was the next to speak up, "Alejandro has a point."
"Yeah, I agree. Alejandro can be a bit annoying. But he is a powerhouse for this team, and we are gonna be down 2 members to the Amazon's and down a person to Victory so we can't afford to lose anyone strong at all." Bowie stated. "We have to cut the dead weight."
Owen was shocked as all he could say was "What?"
"What's happening?" Dave said in an extremely nervous tone.
"You know, Bowie does bring up some good points." Jo said.
However, for Jo, Sky was right next to her and immediately turned to her "Don't even think about it."
"Wait guys, don't listen to Alejandro. He is evil and the furthest thing from a team player." Dave said, defending himself.
"Okay that's true as well." Duncan said.
"Oh, please Dave, you're just trying to keep you and your alliance safe." Alejandro said which got everyone in a stunned silence.
"Wait, there's an alliance?" Trent asked.
"Most definitely folks. Dave told me during the challenge that he felt great about Owen, Noah, Eva, Sky, and Julia." Alejandro stated while lying about the latter two. "It's up to the rest of us to disband an army that big starting with Dave." Alejandro said, trying to sound like a leader.
Dave was quick to defend himself "Guys don't listen to him." Dave said in a begging tone.
"Sorry Dave, I think a lot of us need to think this over." Trent told him as everyone sans the people Alejandro mentioned, and Alejandro himself were left.
"I would say I'm sorry, but I am not. Don't mess with me Dave and give me the ammo to destroy your game. Later losers." Alejandro stated confidently.
"Well shit." Sky said as that was all she could say.
"I am in some massive trouble, aren't I?" Dave said.
Confessional- Alejandro
"I knew that Dave telling me all that useless junk would come in handy, he didn't actually mention Sky or Julia, but anyone can figure out he feels great about Sky, and I wanted to paint a target on Julia's back. I think I may have saved myself tonight.
Confessional- Noah
"Alejandro just threw the biggest wrench in the game. Whether Dave actually said that stuff is irrelevant. I knew not to trust that slimy eel. But I am going to do whatever I can to make sure Alejandro is the one jumping out of the plane."
Cargo Hold
In the cargo hold Dave is shown pacing back and forth "Did I just cost myself the game? I should have never trusted Alejandro." Noah soon approached his ally, as Dave perked up "Did you get the votes to save me?"
"I'm trying. But besides our alliance I was only able to get 3 more." Noah explained as Sky, Julia, and Jo walked down to the cargo hold.
Dave wasn't feeling the best "What about anyone else?" Dave asked.
Sky spoke up first "Justin, Bowie, and Duncan are paranoid about this potential alliance and feel like getting rid of Dave is their only chance."
"Well, what about Trent and Jen? Surely we could get their votes." Dave said.
"Same with them, they are worried about this potential alliance." Julia explained. "Look we have 7 votes and if it comes down to a tiebreaker maybe you can beat Alejandro in the challenge." Julia stated. The camera than flashed over to Jo.
"Here's hoping." Jo told herself.
Confessional- Jo
"The small girl alliance talked, and we found out Jen promised Trent her vote this week and since Trent is paranoid about Dave's army as Jen calls it. Both Trent and Jen are voting for Dave to leave. However, Jen said on the revote that her and Trent will flip over. Girl alliance stays undetected, Sky remains happy unfortunately, and a huge player in Alejandro is eliminated as that guy is a total snake. So, I am not that mad that Dave is staying.
Back To Scene
Owen and Eva walked into the cargo hold with Eva having an annoyed look as Owen was chatting "The taste of the Moroccan stew was amazing Eva, it tasted like heaven. You should have been there for the final round."
"Great." Eva sarcastically noted.
Noah looked around and saw all 7 votes were together, "Okay everyone in this room is voting Alejandro out, right?"
"Yep. We got you Dave." Owen said reassuringly.
"Okay let's split up, get this tied vote and hope Dave can kick Alejandro in a tiebreaker." Noah said as everyone went up to the economy class sans Sky and Jo.
Sky still felt unsure about how honest Jo was and asked her "Are you for sure sending Alejandro out. I have a feeling you don't like Dave, but I know he is not targeting you." Sky explained. "If you send him home, you will screw both our games over."
"I promise I'm in." Jo said looking anywhere that wasn't in Sky's face,
"Okay good, don't fuck us over." Sky said sternly walking away.
Elimination Ceremony Votes
Confessional- Julia
"For the first time I am 100 percent sure where I want my vote to go tonight."
Confessional- Sky
"Bye bye snake. I vote so happily to eliminate Alejandro tonight."
Confessional- Alejandro
"You should have never trusted me. I vote to eliminate Dave."
Confessional- Jo
"I am not 100 percent sure this is the right move after everything that has happened today. But it's the best for my own game. I vote for-"
Elimination Ceremony
Chris was standing at the podium "Ah, elimination time. My favorite. Marshmallows go to the following players. Owen, Eva, Sky, Julia, Jo, Duncan, Jen, Trent, Brick, Bowie, Noah, and Justin. All of you are safe with no votes tonight. Dave and Alejandro please step forward." Chris announced.
"Gosh I hope we have the votes." Sky said nervously.
"Well let's see why both of you are down here, you both scored low on your team. Also, Alejandro you are being accused of being untrustworthy."
"Those allegations are not true." Alejandro confidently said.
"Yeah, we take those claims with a grain of salt." Dave said confidently.
"Oh, shut up." Alejandro bitterly said.
"Why don't you make me." Dave threatened.
"As for you Dave, you are accused of being in a big alliance. Now tonight I am going to read the votes one at a time." Chris stated. "First vote…. Dave….. Alejandro… Dave ….. Dave… Alejandro…. Alejandro … Alejandro …..Dave ….Dave ….Alejandro …..Dave…Alejandro…Dave…"
"Oh my gosh that's a lot of votes." Owen said nervously.
"That is true Owen. Here's where we stand it's 7 votes on Dave, 6 on Alejandro if this next vote is for Alejandro we have a tiebreaker vote and if it stays in deadlock everyone who isn't immune in Owen, or Dave and Alejandro will draw a rock in a bag and a 1 in 11 chance of getting voted out."
"Please pull through alliance." Dave said weakly.
"I better not see my name again." Alejandro said angrily.
"The final vote is for…
…..
…
…
…
…..
… Dave."
"What?" Dave said in disbelief.
"What?!" Every member of Team Style sans Alejandro said.
"That can't be right, we had 7. How can there be 6?" Sky said angrily.
"Who flipped?" Owen asked out loud.
"I know I didn't." Noah spoke up right away so he wouldn't be blamed.
"Yeah, I voted for Alejandro to leave." Eva said quick to make sure she wasn't gonna be blamed.
"So did I." Julia noted.
"As did I." Sky said before turning her head to Jo "Did you flip, Jo?" Sky asked.
"No." Jo said in a monotone voice.
"Jo, are you lying to me?" Sky asked, not sounding convinced.
"No, I voted for Alejandro. I swear." Jo said defensively.
"Well then who did it?" Dave asked.
"I don't know, and I do not care, Dave you have to leave this plane now." Chris stated.
"But I need answers." Dave said putting his parachute on, he took one look at his former teammates still confused who could have flipped. "What the hell happened." Dave said to himself as he left.
"Well that takes care of that. You guys can head back to Economy Class." Chris said as everyone began walking away confused on how the votes turned out that way.
"I need air, or a workout or something!" Sky said angrily storming off.
Confessional- Noah
"This is so unfair. I don't understand at all. I almost didn't say anything during the elimination ceremony because I was just trying to process everything. I've lost another ally and now I don't know if Jo or Sky or Julia flipped. Now I only have Eva and Owen as concrete allies and even then, Eva is quickly getting annoyed with Owen. My game is such a mess."
Confessional- Alejandro
"I know what you're thinking. He switched the votes and pulled a Harold. Honestly do you think I'm that shady and play that dirty. Even I can admit deep down that I'm shocked. Not that I'm staying but what shocks me is that someone would be stupid enough to betray their own allies. Whoever they are royally fucked up."
Confessional- Jo
"I admit I was tempted to vote out Dave tonight. But at the last second, I decided to vote out Alejandro. I couldn't trust him. Whoever did this however may have made it impossible for me to recover as I know that my reputation is shattered since I put the target on Dave's back only to back off."
Cargo Hold
Sky is shown angrily doing push ups trying to control her anger. Julia is shown walking up to her, Sky noticed and got done doing push ups. "Are you okay?" Sky said angrily.
"Yeah I am. I just have no idea what happened." Julia said.
"It was Jo. She had to have been the one to flip. As she didn't seem phased at all. It's just so frustrating the moment I think we have everything figured out. This is just horrible." Sky ranted.
"I know you didn't do it, and I just want to let you know that I trust you." Julia reassured.
"Thanks, and with Dave gone you are the only person I trust; I know you didn't vote Dave out." Sky claimed.
"Same with you." Julia told Sky. "I just have to go to the confessional and clear my mind especially given how crazy today was."
"Perfectly understandable. See you tomorrow." Sky said going back to doing pushups.
"See ya."
Confessional- Julia
"Glad today was over. What happened today needed to be done. Dave was the link between the girl's alliance and Noah's group of misfits. With Dave gone the girls are bound to turn on each other, mainly Sky and Jo. Maybe Noah and Owen will stay loyal to each other. But they aren't threats. No one suspects I was the one who flipped and sent Dave home. I know I've been laying low, but it is all a facade, as I wanted to create this image that I am just unassuming and don't know what I am doing. But instead of the ditz, I am a renegade. I will sow mistrust, chaos and confusion while I ensure whomever I want out is eliminated. Dave was a weak and pathetic player, but he was also most expendable, so he had to go. Alejandro is a threat, but he may come in handy, he may think he is the one controlling the team, but I can use him, just like how I will use anyone to further me in this game, especially poor naive Sky. But her time will come. Alejandro may think he is the puppet master, but I am the one pulling all the strings. See you soon my fans, the fun is just beginning."
End of Episode
Chris was shown in the pilot compartment as Chris began ending the episode "I knew that Alejandro was going to be casting gold, but Julia is a whole other level of excitement. Where will we go next time, what will the ramifications of Dave's elimination be for Sky and Noah's game. Can Jo get out of the hole she is in game wise, and what's the purpose of the meat grinder? Find out next time on Total Drama World Race."

Notes:
Okay so first off I want to address the challenge and location. The Germany challenge will still happen but won't for a bit. Now we transition to the Ridonculous Race challenges. Now for the Morocco challenge I had to adapt and make one of the tasks and turn it into a World Tour challenge. Identifying the spices was never gonna work. Riding the camels would have been lame. So I looked at the stew eating challenge and decided to have rounds with the stews getting harder to digest. Then I decided to score accordingly with the players left in the game, for example Alejandro scores low while Owen scores high.
Now the challenge I wanted to be more of the back burner hence why it was more focused on the people that lost early. Just to reestablish some story lines.
Okay next up is talking about our eliminated contestant in Dave. When it came to casting this season of 48. I knew I wanted 3 men from Pahkitew Island, and Dave kind of ended up by default as I knew that if I had any of Max, Rodney, Leonard, or Beardo they would have been even bigger cannon fodder than Lorenzo. However because of Dave ending up by default meant I didn't have a ton planned for him and knew he was not long for the season. I didn't want him and Sky ending up together as a couple and him and Ella while fine was never gonna materialize due to being on different teams so I quickly realized Dave was gonna be an early out. But I wanted Dave to be part of Noah's so far ill-fated alliance and at least establish a friendship between him and Sky. I also wanted his elimination to have some set up, but also a fair amount of shock factor and his elimination will definitely have ramifications for Team Style.
Next chapter we go to Paris specifically the catacombs. There will be some fallout for the Dave vote and the 7th person will be eliminated.
Until next time, this is TDFan1998, signing out. Have a great day to everyone reading this.
Chapter 8: French Is An Eiffel Language

The recap begins with Chris and Blaineley in the pilot compartment "Previously on Total Drama World Race we took the competitors to Morocco for a stew eating challenge." Chris began.
Blaineley continued, "On Team Amazon, Cody and Mickey questioned each other about either of them having a crush on Kitty both denying but which one is lying."
"On Team Victory, Tyler began to have regrets about the Beth vote and wanted to tell Lindsay, but Damien talked him out of it, elsewhere Leshawna forced Harold to start talking to Ezekiel and iced Harold out. Given how much Harold loves Leshawna he did try to make things right with Ezekiel, but it was very awkward at best." Chris explained.
"But the real drama last time was with Team Style, Dave and Alejandro completely tanked at the challenge. Jen felt so insecure after an underwhelming performance but had Trent give her a massive prep talk. While Dave revealed to Alejandro who he felt great about, specifically his allies Noah, Eva, and Owen. Which Alejandro quickly took note of." Blaineley told.
"At the end of the challenge Courtney, Sierra, and surprisingly Jasmine secured immunity for their teammates. Which left Team Style heading to the elimination and armed with Dave's information about his allies, Alejandro exposed Noah's alliance and managed to turn a lot of the team against them, however both Dave and Sky's alliances together had enough votes to tie. At elimination many people were blindsided when the vote was 8 to 6 sending Dave home." Chris told in detail.
"Initially the top suspect was Jo due to her anti Dave stance heading into the elimination, but it was later found out it was Julia that was the double crosser, and she closed the episode saying that her treachery had only just begun. I figured she was gonna be a vapid goody two shoes." Blaineley claimed.
"Eh, she will give us some good ratings. Tonight, the teams are in for a fright and maybe even a fight to say the least and one more will be eliminated, right here, right now on Total Drama World Race!" Chris proclaimed excitedly. "Cue theme song."

(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
The episode begins showing Jo sitting by herself and no one near her as she took the brunt of the Dave blindside as many people on the team blamed her. Justin walked past her, as Jo tried to talk to him "Hey pretty boy, do you have a moment?" Jo asked.
"Yeah no, I can't be associated with you." Justin said looking anywhere else.
"What? Why not?" Jo asked in anger.
"Because you are untrustworthy and a flipper in this game." Justin explained coldly to Jo.
"But I didn't flip. I didn't do anything wrong. I don't know who the eighth vote was to send Dave home, but it wasn't me." Jo protested in anger.
"Man, you need to really work on your lying abilities. They are so pathetic." Justin said, walking away as Jo growled at him in frustration.
"What an asshole." Jo said to herself.
Confessional- Justin
"Why would I ever work with Jo? She is someone who either pushed her agenda way too hard to get Dave out or didn't and is still very untrustworthy. Besides Trent and maybe Bowie, I am with a team where I don't have many allies, and aligning with her? Yeah. No chance."
Confessional- Jo
"This is so frustrating. I get my reputation is not great at all. But it's so frustrating to have no one believe me. It's hard to figure out where to go when no one actively wants to talk to you or listen to you, maybe it's best to just fly completely solo. I don't know how I can survive but I bet whoever betrayed the group is laughing so much."
Confessional- Julia
"Haha. This vote flipping was the best thing that could have ever happen. Noah's alliance is falling apart as there is no way he can keep Eva and Owen from ripping each other's heads off. Or more so Eva ripping Owen's head off. This girl alliance is done, I have Sky's loyalty and Jen is lost in space. Absolute chaos. Jo will soon be gone as well"
Back To Economy Class
The camera flashed to Bowie and Duncan, with the former looking out the window as the latter was carving something on the bench. Bowie looked over, "Ooh that looks like Gwen". Bowie began to say.
Duncan however was not pleased with Bowie trying to tease him, "If this isn't about Courtney or Gwen we can talk and be friends. If not, then I'd rather sit here in awkward silence."
Bowie took the cue and decided to stay silent, even if everything in him told him that he should continue to stir up drama and pry Duncan.
Confessional- Bowie
"Duncan is one of the most frustrating individuals I have ever had to deal with. Any fool can tell he is more into Gwen than Courtney, but he is too chicken shit to admit anything and now he is just shutting down, I guess. Talk about frustrating."
Economy Class Other Side
The mood luckily for Team Victory was a lot happier despite never being in First Class due to them managing to avoid elimination last time. The camera panned to show Millie, Leshawna, Lindsay and Jasmine all talking as Lindsay was braiding Leshawna's hair and Jasmine was braiding Millie's.
"Hey Leshawna, how are things going with you and Harry?" Lindsay asked.
"Harold. I mean things are still the same between him and I." Leshawna said in a slightly nervous tone.
"Really even after the kiss back in Egypt. I figured you two love birds would be together mate." Jasmine explained.
"Yeah, he is head over heels in love with you." Millie said.
"No, we haven't even talked about that kiss since it happened, and I kind of sent him to talk to Ezekiel and work that whole thing out to delay him and I talking." Leshawna explained her side of the story as she looked dreamily at Harold when she was done which Jasmine quickly took note of.
"You guys should talk things out though as it is clear there has always been something between you guys. I mean the way you look at him, is absolute love." Jasmine said excitedly.
Millie was the next one to speak as she wanted to give her input "That and forcing Harold and Ezekiel to interact I'd say is making the team dynamic kind of awkward to say the least."
"Oh, come on, it's not that bad." Leshawna stated defensively.
The camera panned over to Harold who was sitting by himself as Ezekiel walked by "Hey Harold eh, how are you?" Ezekiel greeted.
"Fine, just fine." Harold said awkwardly as Ezekiel walked away as he felt like Harold didn't want to talk to him.
Back with the girls Leshawna watched the awkward interaction and cringed, "Well if anyone can lift people's spirits up it's Harold. I just don't know if I want to enter a relationship. It would put such a target on our backs, and while I trust you girls, I also don't want Harold getting caught in the crossfire." Leshawna explained.
"If you guys don't mind me asking, can we change the topic?" Lindsay asked as the girls all nodded their heads. "Great, I was just wondering who you guys voted for in New York. I'm still trying to make sense of who voted for who." Lindsay explained as the Beth vote was all that was on her mind.
"I voted for Ezekiel. Mainly because I was always gonna vote in line with Harold." Leshawna said.
"I know that I voted for Beth, and I assume Millie did too." Jasmine said, looking over to Millie.
"I did. Sorry we sent your best friend home by the way." Millie said, looking down at the ground with a tinge of guilt in her voice.
"It's fine Minnie. I am just trying to figure out how she got 9 votes. I know that me, Beth, Cameron, apparently Ezekiel, Leshawna, and Harold didn't vote her out so that means." Lindsay had a sudden realization "Tyler voted Beth out."
"Or Ezekiel did." Millie spoke up as she knew that Damien didn't want any tension or anger directed towards Tyler.
"That's true Minnie, Tyler would never lie to me." Lindsay reasoned back to the wrong conclusion as Millie gave a breath of relief as Leshawna and Jasmine looked at Millie's reaction with raised eyebrows.
The camera panned over to Cameron and Ezekiel who just sat down with his closest ally. Cameron immediately decided to start the conversation "How are things with Harold? Is it getting any better between you two?" Cameron asked.
"It's still very awkward to say the least, eh. There's a lot of tension between us, it's not easy to rebuild with someone who publicly cussed you out less than a week ago." Ezekiel told Cameron.
"Well, I am sure that things will get better between you two." Cameron reassured Ezekiel. "Your guys' personality types should get along in due time."
"Personality types? What do you mean by that, eh?" Ezekiel asked as the camera flashed away as Cameron began explaining.
First Class
In First Class the first thing shown is Heather staring down the meat grinder again as the last challenge proved it was for nothing. Unfortunately for Heather she couldn't dwell on it too long as she went right for the bathroom as her stomach was upset after the last challenge as she digested more stew than she should have, "Ugh I hate Chris!" Heather yelled off screen.
Courtney was watching the scene and couldn't help laughing at Heather's predicament, same with Gwen, "I find it hilarious she is so paranoid about a damn meat grinder. Who cares what the purpose of it is for." Courtney told Gwen.
"Oh, and her being sick as well, is also karma for her. Thank you, karma." Gwen also noted. "But that meat grinder has to come in handy at some point, I'm not as obsessed with it as that witch is. But it should be important down the road."
"Maybe, but for now I am gonna enjoy watching Heather be miserable, agreed?" Courtney asked.
"Oh you definitely don't need to ask me if I ever feel pity for her at all." Gwen reassured Courtney.
Elsewhere in the plane, Emma was shown looking out the window wistfully as Chase walked up to her, "Hey babe. How's it hanging?"
"Don't you ever know to leave me alone?" Emma said.
"No, because we are still together because deep down, I know you still want me." Chase told Emma as Emma shoved Chase aside. "Oh come on babe."
"Leave me alone or I am gonna push you again and shove your face in the couch here." Emma told him. Chase took the signal and decided to walk to another area in First Class.
Emma was shown talking to herself "This has been so stressful. Chase being here has ruined this whole experience, why can't he just get the hint that things are over between us."
Zoey decided to walk over to Emma as she didn't want to be near Anne Maria and saw that Emma was tense.
"What's wrong?" Zoey asked.
"It's just the stress of the game. Having my ex-boyfriend here just ruins this experience so much for me. I have a question, Zoey." Emma said, explaining her thought process to Zoey.
"What is it?" Zoey asked, curious what Emma was feeling.
"Have you ever been in a relationship before this show, and had to deal with an ex?" Emma asked.
"No, unfortunately not. I haven't yet, even if I would love to." Zoey said, looking over to Topher in admiration before realizing she still needed to keep talking to Emma. "But regardless, I will have your back in this whole situation."
Common Area
Blaineley and Chris had finally gathered everyone into the common area to begin the challenge as Chris was feeling indifferent while Blaineley was excited. "Alright travelers time to begin the next challenge as we'll be soon in Paris, France."
"Oh my gosh, Paris. That is the fashion capital of the world." Jen cheered in excitement.
"That it is, Jen. However, this challenge will be more sinister than pleasurable as we should be docking pretty soon." Chris told everyone as Blaineley and Chris lead everyone outside the plane as people like Jen and Lindsay looked on in excitement while others like Mickey and Cody looked concerned. The former due to the fact Chris called it sinister while Cody didn't want to deal with Sierra.
Confessional- Emma
"Maybe this challenge I could tell Chase that we are over just so he can get it through his head and move on like I want to."
Confessional- Sierra
"Paris, France?! This place is the city of love, this is the perfect place for me and Cody have some alone time. Nothing more romantic than this place."
Confessional- Noah
"Paris? Yeah, not my cup of tea at all. I just hope today I can have a challenge where we don't lose and I lose an ally or worry about losing Owen most of all and then we win. It's not fun at all dealing with that stress."
Confessional- Jen
"OMG! Paris. Eeeeeee! If I get any extra time after the challenge, I am going shopping as I know there's a good sale going on somewhere here and the fashion brands are top notch."
Confessional- Ezekiel
"It's nice to have a challenge. I could be of some use, eh. As I actually speak fluent French but knowing Chris it'll be useless. I hope not."
Right Outside of The Plane
Everyone was standing outside the plane in their respective teams as everyone was just outside the plane and airport. As Chris whistled to get everyone's attention "Attention. This challenge is a 3 parter."
"That's right Chris. Our first challenge will take place at the Eiffel Tower as each of you will select one person from your team to draw a caricature of everyone else on your team. Next part is a giant maze of the catacombs of Paris. Get out of there and there will be cheese wheels where from the wheels of cheese you have to paddle to the Louvre of Paris. The first-place team gets to enjoy first class. Second place gets immunity while last place will be sending another player out the door." Blaineley explained.
"Now pick your artist." Chris said.
"As much as I don't like her, Gwen is our best shot since she actually draws unless anyone has any objections." Heather stated.
"I…. Actually, that's a good idea Heather. I'll do it." Gwen said, shocked Heather volunteered her and for something she is potentially good at.
"Don't get used to it. Besides, if we lose, it's your neck on the line." Heather stated revealing her ultimate motive to get Gwen as the fall guy if they lose.
"Geez thanks." Gwen stated in an unamused tone.
On Team Style, Jen immediately raised her hand to volunteer, "I like to believe my awesome fashion sense will make me our best shot at drawing. But does anyone else want to go for it?" Jen asked.
"I don't have a problem, a girl as lovely as you could obviously do this." Alejandro stated in a charming tone with Jen giving a blank stare. "Was it something I said?"
"No… let's just head to the Eiffel Tower." Jen said very awkwardly as Trent raised his eyebrows in confusion as Justin was right next to him trying to not laugh.
Confessional- Jen
"That's so weird for Alejandro to flirt with me. Yes, he has a great body. That can't be denied. But he just acknowledged me for the first time. I don't feel anything."
Confessional- Justin
"Did you see that pathetic attempt at flirting? Alejandro is not someone I trust at all. But that made my day. Maybe I have more MOJO than he does. Or maybe Jen is just someone who doesn't take to blatant flirting. Then again, she is close to Trent, and he was the heartthrob when we were in The Drama Brothers. I don't know why since I'm a professional male model."
Back To Scene
The camera showed Team Victory with Millie having the material for the drawing, "Thank you guys." Millie said happily.
"Okay, so it's Jen, Gwen, and Millie drawing the caricature of their teams. Now to the Eiffel Tower which we will be going there on foot." Chris explained as he began walking.
"Seriously Chris we can't even take a low rent bus?" Duncan asked in annoyance as he wasn't in any mood to walk that far.
"No, now get walking so we can start this challenge." Chris said sternly.
"Awe, does someone want to be a lazy slob?" Courtney asked in a patronizing tone, trying to antagonize Duncan.
Before Duncan could say something, Jo walked by in annoyance "Can it, piercings we have a challenge to win."
As the teams kept walking, the camera zoomed in on Scott and Gwen, who were trailing behind the rest of their teammates as neither were looking forward to the challenge today. But for Gwen she had something else on her mind as she wanted to reestablish where her and Scott stood after their awkward conversation at best in Japan.
"Hey Scott, is there any way we can un-pause our conversation from Japan?" Gwen asked.
"I'll allow it. What do you wanna talk about anyway?" Scott asked.
"Courtney. I just want to apologize for insinuating you may have liked her when you looked at her in Egypt. It's your business who you like and who you don't. Looking back, I sounded like Heather which is not a good feeling to have to say the very least." Gwen explained in detail.
Scott looked around making sure no one was within earshot as he began talking "Look. Okay you weren't completely wrong. I do like Courtney in a romantic sense, that being said I'm not going to do anything until Courtney and Duncan break up. But you can't tell anyone about this. It's new territory for me and it's a weird feeling to have. I've never had a girlfriend back home," Scott told Gwen, getting giddier as he thought about Courtney.
"Trust me, my lips are sealed. I'm not going to be the dumb gossip type. I promise." Gwen said.
"Great. Thanks, I suppose. Look, have you talked to Cody and let him down?" Scott asked, as he didn't want to get into the specifics of his crush on Courtney and instead wanted Gwen to update her status in the game.
"I haven't. It's kind of hard-to-get alone time on this team. Especially since Cody either has Sierra breathing down his neck or he is with Mickey and Kitty. Honestly, I wouldn't be shocked if I don't have too. I mean look at him." Gwen noted as the camera quickly panned over to Cody, Mickey and Kitty as Cody was laughing with them as the camera panned back to Gwen and Scott. "See? He loves those two so much." Gwen stated.
"Even if that's true. Don't you think it's possible that Cody feels indebted to you?" Scott asked.
"Indebted? What could you mean by that? Cody doesn't owe me anything." Gwen explained, shocked at what Scott was saying.
"Cody may feel like he has to love you or feel attracted to you, I mean he was hitting on you during the first challenge." Scott told Gwen. "I still think it's best for you guys to talk it out. Especially if you want to end up with you know who." Scott teased as he looked over to Duncan which Gwen quickly picked up on.
"Shut it." Gwen said quietly, not wanting her feelings towards Duncan be known.
Over at Team Style while people like Jen and Owen were excited, Jo had an annoyed look especially as Alejandro was walking right by her and she wanted to be nowhere near the person she voted for last time.
However, for Alejandro he saw this as the perfect opportunity to taunt Jo as he enjoyed seeing her game completely go down the drain "Oh Jo, you should make sure you don't abandon any of us today. Especially your allies. If there are any left that is." Alejandro taunted.
Jo rolled her eyes at Alejandro and his insults "Piss off Ale cockroach, you shouldn't even be here as I'm innocent."
"Whatever makes you sleep at night." Alejandro said in a condescending tone, the camera soon panned over to Brick who cringed at the exchange between the two of them.
"Hmm" Brick said after he was done slightly cringing.
Confessional- Brick
"Alejandro is my closest ally in the game, but I have to admit it's pretty tough to see Jo be a complete outcast. Regardless of this being a game, it's hard to watch the taunting and isolation. I wanted to say something, but I was a coward at that moment."
Back To Scene
After Brick's rather somber confessional, the scene flashed to Team Victory showing Shawn, Jasmine, and Millie walking together. While Millie was excited to prove herself and Jasmine had a look of rather indifference. Shawn was shown to be very freaked out to say the least as he was twitchy while walking.
Jasmine quickly took note of Shawn's state "What's wrong with you Shawn? Not excited for the Eiffel Tower?" Jasmine teased.
"No. It's the catacombs. All those skeletons there, the undead, them coming to life. Gahh!" Shawn yelled out in fear.
"Wait, are you serious?" Millie asked in slight amusement at Shawn's whole zombie shtick.
"I am dead freaking serious. The catacomb of Paris is one of the areas I pledged to never visit in my life." Shawn explained which got Millie to giggle.
"Wait Millie, what's so funny?" Jasmine asked in confusion.
"I'm just finding it funny that Shawn is dead serious and is also scared of the dead." Millie told as she kept on giggling.
"Okay, that is a little funny. Maybe better word choice next time Shawn." Jasmine said as she also giggled. Unfortunately for Shawn he just glared at both of them for not taking his nervous behavior seriously at all.
"I can do this. I can do this." Shawn told himself.
Eiffel Tower/ Start of Challenge
Everyone was now standing in front of the Eiffel Tower with Gwen, Jen, and Millie out in front ready to begin the challenge. Blaineley spoke up, ready to announce the next twist. "Alright everyone, before we get this challenge going. I believe Chris and I forgot one important twist; everyone remembers the first part of the Egyptian challenge, right?" Blaineley asked in a taunting tone.
At that moment Damien's eyes widened "Oh no. You don't mean-" Damien began to say until he was interrupted.
"That's right. It's back to handcuffs." Blaineley announced as everyone groaned at that notion. "Oh, quit complaining. It could be worse. Besides this is only for the catacombs. Once your artist is done, in increments of two minutes, everyone on your team will be paired up in cuffs." Blaineley explained.
Cameron rose his hands in confusion, "What about Team Style and Team Amazon? They have an odd number. So mathematically not everyone can be in cuffs."
"Thank you, captain obvious. One person from that team will be able to go solo. We tried to buy three-way cuffs or at least our intern did for this challenge but once he put that in his search history, we got a call from police about that, so we had to abandon the idea and fire him." Chris laughed. "Anyways it's time to begin the challenge so artists get ready to draw. Go!"
Each of Gwen, Jen, and Millie grabbed their pencils as everyone on their teams began to make various poses. On Team Amazon, the camera showed Topher admiring the Eiffel Tower in astonishment. "Wow, seeing the Eiffel Tower in person is so lovely. This is so amazing to witness." Topher said in awe.
"Yeah, what do you think of Paris?" Anne Maria asked.
"I have always wanted to go on my own volition, as the place is so romantic, and if I win this show I would go back here not under the stress of the game, even if this place looks like the place for couples to visit. Would be amazing if it happened to me." Topher said in a confident and happy tone as the camera panned over to Zoey and Anne Maria who both looked at Topher in admiration.
"He's so lovely." Zoey said to herself.
With Team Style, Sky was trying to pose for Jen but kept glaring at Jo who wasn't even acknowledging Sky at all. "That backstabbing snake." Sky said to herself.
Julia, noticing Sky's rather agitated state, walked up to the Olympian to feign concern "What's wrong with you now? Besides being in this challenge." Julia asked.
"I am just so pissed off that Jo actually followed through on getting rid of Dave, she formed this girl alliance only to get rid of my ally. Then she feigns ignorance on voting Dave out and yet anyone can tell she is a liar. If we lose, I would love to send her home." Sky said angrily, ranting to Julia who found the whole thing amusing.
The camera then paned to an uncomfortable and twitchy Shawn who was still freaking out about going into the catacombs. DJ who could tell Millie was done drawing the caricature of him decided to walk up to Shawn and see what was going on, "Yo Shawn. You, okay? You look really bug eyed and twitchy to say the least."
"Catacombs, the undead. Can't talk right now." Shawn said in a very scared tone.
"Shawn just relax, the team has your back here, we're all in this together. Maybe we can be partnered together." DJ tried to say reassuringly.
"I can't. I'm so dead. The skeletons will get back to life. I am gonna die today." Shawn blabbering as DJ could only look on in concern.
Confessional- DJ
"Shawn was looking like a wreck and I'm not going to lie, it was very hard to watch."
Back To Scene
Soon Gwen was wrapping up the finishing touches, "And done. Judge, judge." Gwen called out, as the judge walked up "Thoughts?" Gwen asked. The judge gave the thumbs up with many on Team Amazon cheering as Blaineley walked up.
"Okay Team Amazon, time to split you guys into duos. First thing is the person who won't be handcuffed, which will be Gwen."
"You don't have to tell me twice," Gwen said as she headed into the catacombs.
"So, the first couple of duos are Topher and Zoey. Heather, you are partnered with Sierra." Chris announced.
"Wait what? I'm not with Cody. This isn't fair." Sierra cried out in near tears.
"Do I look like someone who cares?" Chris gloated. "Now put the handcuffs on and get in the catacombs."
Sierra just pouted and looked over first to Cody who shrugged his shoulders and then looked over to Heather, "I'm with Chris on this one. I don't care." Heather snapped at Sierra as both entered the catacombs. However not even a few seconds later you could hear Heather puke off screen from the stew during the last challenge, "Oh come on!"
"Anyways, our next duo is Anne Maria and Kitty. Ladies here are your cuffs." Blaineley said with a smirk.
"Ugh, whatever I just wanna get this stupid challenge over with." Anne Maria said in an angry huff.
"Come on Anne Maria lighten up, maybe you need a boyfriend when you're in Paris to make you happier." Kitty joked around.
"I would. But that damn red-haired bitch took him." Anne Maria said angrily, unaware that Kitty was trying to joke around.
"Next duos are Katie, and Ella" Blaineley announced, which got both girls smiling, "Also together will be Courtney and Scott."
"Don't slow us down dirt boy." Courtney warned Scott.
"Aw don't worry I won't." Scott said as he got the handcuffs on him and Courtney "Just lighten up a little. After you, my lady."
Courtney rolled her eyes at that statement "I'm not your lady."
Scott in his mind told himself "One day you will be."
"The last duos are Chase and Emma along with Cody and Mickey as a duo." Chris stated as he grinned eagerly at the former as Emma silently grabbed the handcuffs and put them on Chase and herself.
While for Cody and Mickey they were the last ones of their team to get cuffed together as Mickey nervously approached the entrance "Ugh I hope I don't get the plague like my brother did."
"Your brother got the bubonic plague?" Cody asked in absolute astonishment.
"Yep, it wasn't a pretty sight. I am just thankful he is still alive." Mickey said solemnly looking down.
"Regardless, we'll be fine and let's just enjoy the moment." Cody said, trying to make Mickey cheer up as Mickey gave a weak smile.
Confessional- Cody
"Mickey has quickly become my best friend here. It's weird in a way he reminds me of myself. He is always nervous yet has a positive outlook on life and never gives up. Mickey is kind of inspiring in a weird way."
Back To Scene
The camera flashed back to show Millie approached the judge as the judge gave her a thumbs down "What, what could be wrong with it. A caricature needs 5 exaggerations, and I got it for everyone on my team." Millie protested. However, the judge pointed to Shawn who was still looking naturally twitchy and worried.
"Come on scared boy. We are gonna fall behind," Leshawna said angrily, "We've been standing here for 15 minutes."
"Catacombs, skeletons, zombies, I don't wanna." Shawn said, still panicking like crazy and not listening to Leshawna.
"Guys don't worry. I'll think of something." Millie reassured.
"You better, because Team Style is pulling ahead." Leshawna said as the camera panned to Jen who showed her picture of everyone on her team as the judge gave her a thumbs up.
"Alright Team Style." Chef said, walking up. "Here are the duos. Alejandro and Eva are a pair. As are Jen and Trent."
"Alright let's do this Jen. The catacombs await" Trent cheered out looking at Alejandro with a slight grin.
"Ugh. I just hope we finish fast enough that I can shop afterwards. I know that Paris has multiple midnight madness events, and I would probably buy out the whole store." Jen stated as her and Trent began climbing down.
"Do you really think Chris will give us enough time to do any shopping?" Trent asked in a rhetorical tone.
"Fair enough."
"Okay Sky and Julia. You two are also a duo, so here are your cuffs." Chef said putting them on both girls as Sky was still shown glaring at Jo. Julia meanwhile saw Sky's facial expression and had a huge grin on her face as the camera panned to Jo who at first was staring back angrily at Sky until she saw Julia's face and gasped. "Other duos are Duncan and Bowie along with Owen and Noah, lastly Jo and Brick will also be a duo which means pretty boy Justin is going at it solo."
Confessional- Jo
"That backstabbing lying snake, Julia. She's the rat in the alliance. That girl looked way too comfortable, smug, and happy to not be the one to flip the last vote. I don't know how or when, but she is going down one way or another. Mark my words."
Back To Scene
Millie is once again walking up to the judge "I got the exaggerations for Shawn guys this should work." Millie yelled out and sure enough the judge gave Millie a thumbs up "Aw yeah, who's the best I am." Millie gloated for a quick second until she saw Leshawna roll her eyes at her "Oops sorry. Right, we're behind."
"That you are Team Victory. Except maybe not the victory part at this point" Blaineley said in a condescending tone. "So, let's get the duos established. Millie and Damien, you are a duo as are Bridgette and Geoff."
"Yeah babe! Awesome." Geoff cheered out.
"Yeah great." Bridgette said in a much more monotone voice sounding unenthusiastic about the situation. Whether it was her being with Geoff or the catacombs themselves was yet to be determined.
"Other duos are Leshawna and Harold." Blaineley announced as Leshawna grabbed a pair of cuffs "Hey you can't just take them. There's a process."
"Screw the process. This is a race, and I'm not coming in last." Leshawna said slapping the handcuffs on Harold. "Come on sweetie." Leshawna yelled out.
However, she was going so fast Harold couldn't maintain solid footing and was getting physically dragged by Leshawna "Ow, yes Leshawna ow. A little gentler, ow. My kidney." Harold yelled out in pain.
"Regardless, Jasmine, you and Brody are a duo as are Ezekiel and Cameron, along with Tyler and Lindsay."
Jasmine walked up to the catacombs nervously herself "I'm not so sure about this." Jasmine said, gulping in fear.
"Oh, don't worry about this bra, I got a good sense of direction, I know my way anywhere." Brody reassured Jasmine who breathed a sigh of relief as her, and everyone sans one duo made their way down to the catacombs.
Said duo was Shawn and DJ. DJ had managed to put the cuffs on both of them, but Shawn was petrified with fear "I can't do it. I WON'T!" Shawn yelled in absolute terror trying his best to avoid going down.
DJ was trying to stay calm as seeing a close friend in this state of absolute terror and paranoia was very hard for him to watch to say the very least. "Come on Shawn. Slow and steady. We got this." DJ tried to reassure but Shawn wasn't moving an inch, so DJ decided to lift Shawn up over the shoulders to make him go in.
Catacombs
Bridgette and Geoff were shown running in the catacombs as Geoff stopped to smell for a second, as Bridgette looked on bewildered "What are you doing Geoff?" Bridgette asked.
"Trying to find the cheese with smell, especially since this is such a huge maze." Geoff explained as he then saw Bridgette looking down, "What's wrong babe?"
"Look Geoff, we need to talk. Something has been bugging me lately." Bridgette said.
"What do we need to talk about, is it Brody talking about his dream girl being a police officer with big thighs? You know I never got his taste in women." Geoff said, going off topic.
"No, I wanna talk about us." Bridgette told impatiently. "Look, I'm gonna cut to the chase. I think we need a break in our relationship."
"What why? Babe I'm sorry for assuming you were attracted to Alejandro. Why do you wanna break up?" Geoff pleaded.
"Not breakup. But take a break. Look we can stay together after the game, but we both pledged we would win this game but us making out and being together got us eliminated last season. We want to win, and I think this is what's best." Bridgette explained.
"Well, I don't think it's what is best for us." Geoff said in a pouty tone.
"If you really love me, you will respect what I want, and besides I am not saying we are breaking up for good, I am saying we put the relationship on pause and focus on the game. My loyalty is still with you." Bridgette tried to explain but Geoff was now dead silent. "Geoff, do you understand?"
"I understand, but it doesn't mean I have to like it at all." Geoff said angrily. "I don't want to talk about this anymore." So, Bridgette and Geoff walked in awkward silence both feeling down after that exchange.
Confessional- Geoff
(Crying) "It's just not fair. It's not right that Bridgette wants a break."
Confessional- Bridgette
"I know that Geoff is feeling down. When he's absolutely upset, he doesn't talk at all. To be fair he is rarely upset. In my heart however I know this is best for both of us."
Another Part In The Catacombs
Harold and Leshawna were next shown walking in another part of the catacombs, with Harold now happy as can be, being partnered with Leshawna while for Leshawna, all that was on her mind was the talk from earlier with the girls about Harold and that kiss in Egypt.
All of a sudden, a noise was heard that made Leshawna jump in fear "Oh hell no." Leshawna yelled out.
Confessional- Harold
"This is the moment. I need to tell Leshawna how I really feel. She means so much to me, and I need to redeem myself after how I betrayed her last season, yes she forgave me, but I still to this day haven't forgiven myself."
Back To Scene
After the slight noise scared Leshawna, she lost her footing and fell on a skeleton as she and Harold were on the ground. Harold, trying to be the gentleman he thinks he is, decides to try and help Leshawna up, "My lady?". Unfortunately, this led to both of them being too close to each other and being inches within each other's faces. "Hehe, this is so awkward." Harold said as he and Leshawna finally stood up.
"Come on sweetie, we should keep going, we have a challenge to win." Leshawna said trying to run but she looked behind her and saw that Harold wasn't moving. "Harold, we don't have time to mess around. Our team is already behind."
"Leshawna, this can wait." Harold said in a bold and confident tone. "Besides, Amazon has Katie who has no sense of direction and Owen still hasn't felt the effects of all that Moroccan stew. We have time."
Leshawna sighed in annoyance, "Okay I'll take your word for it, but if you go down, I am not going down too. What do you want to talk about?"
"Egypt and that damn accidental kiss we had. I know you don't want to talk about it so I'll do the talking. Leshawna, that was probably the best moment in my life. I love you Leshawna and I never will not love you. I know you may never feel that same way. I will promise you no matter what I won't leave you unless you tell me too. Whatever you want me to do, I will do. I regret every day I didn't stay in touch with you in between seasons." Harold said as he then took a breath too compose himself.
"That's on me too baby." Leshawna said, looking down.
"Can I ask, what are you thinking, Leshawna?" Harold asked nervously.
"Look. It has always crossed my mind that we could end up together and for good. Harold, you're not the kind of guy I go for. Think about it. I always had an attraction to Justin last season, and Alejandro is absolutely gorgeous." Leshawna said, and she saw Harold was looking down "But Harold, you have shown me loyalty and love even when I don't deserve it. I lied too you last season, broke up with you and yet you never left my side and the one time you did betray me and voted me out. You apologized and I know Harold, you still feel bad about that even after I forgave you."
"But I was the vote that cost you a million dollars." Harold lamented.
"Harold, that was the past. The one thing I know definitively is you have to learn from the past and look to the future, and Harold I know what I want my future to be." Leshawna said as Harold cut her off.
"What's that future?" Harold asked. Before Harold could think any further Leshawna pulled Harold into a passionate kiss.
"Does that answer your question sweetie?" Leshawna asked. "I want to give us one more chance, maybe we are meant to be, and I really hope we are."
"Just promise me Leshawna no matter what if this doesn't work out. We still stay in each other's lives as I can't lose you." Harold asked in near tears.
"I promise." Leshawna said, giving Harold a quick kiss. "I can't lose you, either."
Confessional- Leshawna
"Maybe I'm absolutely crazy. But my heart is telling me to go all in with Harold both in a game sense and a human sense. I know that no matter what I won't regret this."
Catacombs Maze Middle Section
In another part of the maze was Courtney and Scott walking, with Scott looking at her in complete admiration as Courtney was talking "You know Scott these catacombs were made during the plague because they ran out of room in the morgues back then." Courtney stated.
"That's fascinating, I like it when you talk all smart." Scott said in a trance until he quickly realized what he said "Oh I didn't mean-" Scott quickly deflected.
Courtney however didn't hear what he said "Did you say something? Look now that we're alone can I ask you, are you now gonna be willing to get rid of Heather?"
"No. Until she ruins a challenge for us and completely fucks up. She should stay. You're telling me that Heather is more useless in challenges than people like Katie, Ella, and Mickey?"
"She may be better at challenges, but Heather is an absolute bitch, and I know she's coming after me." Courtney explained.
"I'm telling you; I am the only ally Heather has, and I have steered her away from targeting you. Until she messes up, she stays but if Heather does mess up, I promise you I'll vote her out." Scott said. "Besides, I am protecting you more than I am protecting Heather."
"Um, Scott, I don't need protection. I am perfectly fine looking out for myself, and I don't need a knight in shining armor looking out for me." Courtney defended. "But thank you for looking out for me and being a good friend." Courtney said and at the notion of friend Scott's heart sunk as he knew in that moment, he was in the friend zone. "Can we just focus on the challenge?" Courtney asked.
"Yeah, yeah of course." Scott said as his mind was racing thinking about Courtney and for him a lot of other things as well.
Different Part of The Catacombs
Meanwhile with Heather and Sierra the mood was a lot less harmonious as due to Heather still feeling sick from the stew the last challenge, Sierra was carrying Heather over her shoulder much to Heather's chagrin. "Just put me down already." Heather cried out in anger.
"No, this is how I would carry my Cody and if I can't be with him, I can at least pretend he's here." Sierra said, sounding absolutely crazy in Heather's eyes.
"But Cody doesn't like you like that, and you are absolutely delusional." Heather said angrily.
"He doesn't like me like that because his mind is getting filled with junk from someone who does like him, and that's not fair at all because Cody is destined to be with me." Sierra said.
"You really are delusional." Heather said as she realized nothing was going through Sierra's head. "Oh, and another thing…." Heather began to say as the camera flashed away.
Early Middle Section of the Catacombs
Jo and Brick are shown next both walking in awkward silence as Brick breaks the awkward air "Where to next Jo?"
"I don't know, this maze is ridiculously long anyway. Besides Cadet Wet Pants, why are you even talking to me? I'm apparently a flipper and an absolute cancer on this team."
"Ma'am someone called you a cancer on this team?" Brick asked, shocked.
"No but I feel that way. You're the first person here who has talked to me without sounding pissed off at my mere presence." Jo said angrily.
"Look, Jo. Just answer me a couple questions, okay?" Brick asked.
"Okay what exactly if you don't mind me asking?" Jo asked back.
"Did you vote for Dave or Alejandro at the last elimination ceremony?" Brick asked as the two stopped walking.
"I voted for Alejandro. Yes, I was heavily tempted to vote Dave off. I know you probably won't even believe me but that's the truth. I especially know that you Brick won't believe me since Alejandro is your best buddy." Jo said getting even more angry about her situation.
"Who do you think set you up then?" Brick asked growing more concerned for Jo but also somewhat intrigued to see what she was going to say.
"Julia set me up, that bitch. She acts all innocent but is a liar. I'm not the problem on the team. She is." Jo said getting close to yelling about her current situation.
"Are you done?" Brick asked as Jo nodded her head. "Great, because look I do believe you. Yes, Alejandro is my close friend but the passion and how bad you felt makes it clear to me you're being honest, and honesty goes a long way with me especially with my training."
"Thank you Brick. Thank you." Jo said happily. "Come on we have a challenge to win and a snake to expose if worse comes to worse." Jo cheered.
Meanwhile
Duncan and Bowie were shown walking right into a dead end "Ugh dead end. I swear this challenge is the dumbest thing Chris has come up with yet." Duncan lamented in annoyance.
"Agreed, not to mention this place is so creepy. I'm probably going to need two showers just to get rid of all the disgust these skeletons give me." Bowie said.
"I mean, I've had worse last season." Duncan said as he and Bowie walked away from the dead end.
"What could be worse?"
"Well having restless nights due to Courtney I will say oop-" Duncan said before realizing he mentioned Courtney as Bowie had a grin on his face. However, as luck would have it, Gwen showed up much to Duncan's relief. "How's it hanging pasty?"
"Nothing much, just hating Chris for this stupid challenge." Gwen stated.
"You got to draw at least. I just stood there like I was in a police lineup." Duncan snarked back.
"I will say the catacombs are nice at least." Gwen said, looking around.
"Really how so?" Bowie asked.
"Some of my friends would love this place for the skeleton aspect of it all and feel like this place would be great as a playground." Gwen explained as Duncan was shown being completely transfixed on what she was saying something that made Bowie smirk.
Confessional- Bowie
"Duncan is obviously in love with Gwen. It's so obvious but he is either in denial about it which is just pathetic to see or is too damn stubborn. I've now seen first-hand how much Duncan likes being around Gwen. Now I just need to see how he is with Courtney. But I don't think it's going to be as harmonious."
Near The End of the Catacombs
Sky and Julia are shown in one of the last parts of the catacombs. Luckily for both of them they had made a great pace so far. Despite that though Sky still had a huge frown on her face "I am so annoyed that Jo is still here." Sky said angrily.
"I am too." Julia said faking concern. "Just a hypothetical and you don't have to agree at all. Would you be down for voting Jo out next, I know she's part of the girl's alliance and physically very strong but-" Julia said until Sky interrupted.
"I'm down to get rid of that traitor. She poisoned this girl's alliance we had, and I can't wait to send her home. From there the 3 of us continue together, I imagine Jen will be down." Sky explained as Julia looked very eager.
Confessional- Julia
"I swear at times it's almost too easy to manipulate Sky. This Dave elimination has made her so easy to sway, it's almost not fun. Almost."
Middle of Catacombs
Lindsay and Tyler were making solid progress, as Lindsay decided to let Tyler do the navigating especially as Lindsay was freaked out by the catacombs "Ugh. This place is so creepy. I would rather die than be down here." Lindsay said before she looked over to Tyler. "Tyler, you agree right?" Lindsay asked as Tyler was distracted looking around. "Tyler!" Lindsay called out.
"Yeah Linds, I agree." Tyler said not really listening to Lindsay. Lindsay however noticed Tyler wasn't really paying attention and for Lindsay, she remembered her thought of Tyler being one of the people that voted Beth out.
"Tyler, you will always be honest with me, right?" Lindsay asked as Tyler nodded his head. "Okay can you tell me if you voted Beth out. I promise I won't be angry if you did."
Before Tyler can say anything however, Damien and Millie had walked in on both of them as Tyler instantly felt a sense of relief as he was not sure at that moment to confess to Lindsay about the Beth vote so Tyler decided his best course of action was to change the topic if at all possible "Hi Damien and Millie, are you guys lost?" Tyler asked.
"We were lost for a bit. It's just so relieving to see other teammates. We should probably stick together." Damien told Tyler and Lindsay.
"Agreed, this place is so scary. I just want to find the cheese logs." Lindsay said as everyone ignored her saying something wrong. As both duos walked further into the catacombs Tyler mouthed to Damien that they need to talk which Damien nodded his head at.
Just Over Halfway through The Catacombs
The next duo shown is Cody and Mickey. Mickey was shown looking freaked out with Cody rubbing his back in order to calm him down "It's okay Mickey. We're probably over halfway through the maze."
"Maybe, but this place scares me so much. I just want to get out of here, but I know my sense of direction would get us hopelessly lost." Mickey said.
"To be fair. I also have a bad sense of direction; I don't know if you watched the first season but during a challenge in the woods I got hopelessly lost and mauled by a bear." Cody explained, looking back at why he was sent home the first season.
"I am so sorry that happened to you Cody. No one deserves that." Mickey said, comforting Cody.
"It's fine Mickey. That attack has made me stronger physically and mentally, or at least I hope so." Cody wistfully said, until he heard a noise "Oh crap, did you hear that."
"Yes, let's just stay quiet." Mickey said until he and Cody saw a couple of shadows, that made both Mickey and Cody faint in absolute terror and fear.
However, as it turned out, the two shadows were Anne Maria and ironically enough Cody and Mickey's closest ally Kitty. Kitty was the one who saw what accidentally happened "Oh no." Kitty yelled out. "Oh my gosh, what happened to them?"
"Ugh. Who cares? I'm just glad we found teammates, so we know we aren't alone here." Anne Maria said in annoyed relief.
"Let's help them out. You carry Cody and I'll carry Mickey. We need to make sure they make it out of the maze. They aren't looking great." Kitty said worriedly as she picked Mickey up over her shoulder.
"You can't be serious, why do I have to do any physical work? Let's just leave these two alone." Anne Maria complained.
"Yeah no. I'm not going to leave my friends behind. So, pick Cody up and let's help them out." Kitty ordered.
"Really? What are you going to do about it?" Anne Maria taunted.
"If you don't. I will tell the whole team you threw the challenge and make sure you take the drop of shame. So, pick up my best friend and help me out." Kitty threatened.
"Ugh, fine. But I don't have to be your friend." Anne Maria explained as she picked Cody up. "Now let's go!"
Confessional- Kitty
"A lot of times, I am really happy and go lucky, and I like to think I am also even keeled. However, that being said, my sister Emma can be a bit intense, not to mention aggressive as she is trying to get into law school. So, if I have to, I can get a bit harsh if need be. Even if it's a last resort."
Middle of Catacombs
Trent and Jen were walking slightly nervously as Trent in particular looked freaked out! "Ugh this is the last place I would ever want to be in Paris. Seriously, when you think of Paris I like to think of romance or baguettes, not this."
Jen picked up a skeleton while Trent was distracted and played with it for a quick second "Hey Trent. I have a bone to pick with you." Jen joked which got Trent to laugh at as Jen set it back down.
Trent however had the game on his mind especially after the last vote was so chaotic and unexpected "Jen if you don't mind can we talk while it's just the two of us?" Jen shook her head indicating she didn't mind as Trent pressed on "Okay good. Look I don't know if Jo was the one to flip. But if she or whomever was willing to split up the friendship between Dave and Sky I feel like it's only a matter of time before they split our friendship up, and it sucks because we just formed a Final 2."
"Are you no longer loyal to the Final 2?" Jen asked.
"What kind of question is that? Of course I am, but for now we both need to lay low and not be seen as a duo. Its what's best for us. No matter what though, I want to go to the end with you and probably Justin." Trent explained.
"That's true I didn't realize how smart you were, but if we get a moment, I want to show you and the rest of the team some of the best boutiques I read up on." Jen said happily.
"Do you really think Chris will allow us to do some shopping?" Trent asked sarcastically.
"I can hope." Jen said, sounding less assured. Before their conversation could continue, Alejandro and Eva showed up to the other duo. Which luckily made Jen feel relief. "Thank goodness, it is not fun being down here."
"Have you guys found the exit yet and the cheese wheels? It's kind of ridiculous we haven't found anything yet." Eva said, annoyed.
"We haven't. Just the usual, skeletons, rats, and the occasional dead end." Trent explained.
"Best we stick together amigos. Safety in numbers I say." Alejandro said, winking at Jen who gave him an absolute blank stare as she and Trent walked away as Eva laughed.
"How pathetic." Eva noted.
Confessional- Jen
"Seriously, what is up with Alejandro flirting with me? I don't feel anything at all. It's kind of hard to explain why. Being with Trent is at least comfortable. Alejandro isn't comfort"
Confessional- Alejandro
"It may take some time, but with enough persistence Jen will be my ultimate pawn for my game."
Catacombs Second Mile
For Shawn and DJ however, they had only made it into the catacombs for a couple of miles from the entrance as Shawn was so paralyzed with fear he was barely moving. It didn't help that they had just hit their fourth dead end, something DJ quickly took note of "Man this maze must have infinite dead ends. What do you think Shawn?"
Shawn however was shown breathing very heavily and barely making sense "I just want to get out of here! I just find this challenge cruel and harsh punishment on me. Why is this happening? Why here, why now? Why, why why!?" Shawn yelled out in pure frustration and fear as he soon sat down on the ground hyperventilating and crying his eyes out as DJ watched on in concern.
Confessional- DJ
"Seeing Shawn so broken down, where he is that scared is hard to watch. Not to mention it absolutely broke me inside. Shawn is a great friend despite his quirks and I'm so happy to have met him. What didn't help was me getting us hopelessly lost."
Back To Scene
Shawn had luckily gotten his composure and stood up, "I just want to be left alone." Shawn quietly said.
"Sorry Shawn that can't happen since we have the handcuffs here. Look, can I ask you something?" DJ said, as he stopped in place.
"I guess so." Shawn said unsure of where DJ was going to take this conversation.
"Is there a deeper reason for your fear of zombies? It's just seeing you this freaked out about all these skeletons is concerning for me." DJ explained.
Shawn was unsure of how to respond to this as while his zombie obsession was something that defined him, he could tell DJ in that moment cared for him. "I guess for me it's just a constant state of paranoia and fear of the undead. I have become an expert survivalist in a way, but the fear of the zombie apocalypse just makes me feel a sense of helplessness and that defines me. That no matter what my fate is sealed due to a future zombie apocalypse. Not helping is seeing all these skeletons makes me naturally uneasy. I know that I must sound absolutely batshit insane and if you want to laugh at me go right ahead. Plenty of people already do." The camera went to DJ who was just silent as the air was thick and DJ couldn't even think of what to say.
Another Section of The Catacombs
Owen and Noah were lightly jogging as Owen called out "Here cheesy cheese."
"If we had any sort of lead from Team Victory, we probably lost it." At that moment both crossed a familiar looking skull. "No. I've seen that skull. Damn it, we have been going in circles." Noah lamented.
"Um Noah, not to make things worse but so is my stomach." Owen said, looking down at his stomach before burping. "Uh oh, where's a freaking bathroom?" Owen asked, running scared as Noah looked at the camera while being dragged against his will.
Confessional- Noah
"Owen hasn't fully gone to the bathroom since having all that Moroccan stew, the team knew this moment would come, we were just hoping it wasn't going to happen during the challenge."
Cheese Wheels
Sierra and Heather were shown walking to the wheels as Sierra stopped carrying Heather but neither were happy and were still bickering as Sierra said, "Heather your constant gagging and complaining is slowing us down."
Heather wasn't having it though "Your constant whining and crying about Cody is what has slowed us down. Look there's a plethora of people ahead of us." Heather noted as it showed the duos of Lindsay and Tyler, Leshawna and Harold, Millie and Damien for Team Victory paddling, while for Team Amazon being shown was Topher and Zoey, Courtney and Scott, and lastly Chase and Emma while for Team Style Justin was shown.
"We're not the last ones. Thank goodness." Kitty shouted out as she along with Anne Maria and a still passed out Cody and Mickey showed up. "Now how do we get all four of us on a raft?" Kitty asked until she saw Sierra glare harshly at her.
"What the fuck happened to my Cody!?" Sierra practically screamed out, however before anyone could react, she pushed Kitty and Anne Maria in the water. Despite the potential drowning risk for both the cuffs proved flimsy enough they got their hands out of it and were able to float.
"Sierra, we can't just push our teammates." Heather yelled in anger at Sierra's outburst as she continued to see Sierra as a liability.
"I DON'T CARE!" Sierra yelled out carrying both Cody and Mickey who were still passed out, on her back and then threw a cheese wheel raft as she made sure her and Cody were on the cheese wheel raft with Mickey barely on.
Unfortunately for Heather she had it the worse as the way she was positioned made her barely stay afloat. "Sierra (gurgle) you are so (gurgles) dead." Heather tried to say in between holding her breaths.
At that moment Kitty and Anne Maria popped out of the water. "Well that takes care of Cody and Mickey." Kitty noted. "But our cuffs are absolutely busted, and we need a cheese wheel."
Anne Maria however was angrier than anything. "No, what we need is to go give Sierra a beat down the next time we see her or at least when I see that bitch."
"Vulgar language aside. I am not against that idea after that." Kitty said glaring from afar at Sierra.
Finish Line
Chris, Chef and Blaineley were waiting by the Louvre "Ready with the keys for the cuffs?" Chris asked Chef.
"Yep. Keys right here." Chef said as he rolled his eyes. "Why am I on key duty?"
"Because you aren't one of the main hosts." Blaineley explained smugly.
Before the three of them could discuss any further Topher and Zoey showed up first with their cheese wheel as Chef approached the two of them and unlocked their keys as Topher and Zoey gave each other a high five as Topher said, "We make an amazing team."
"Yeah, we do." Zoey said happily. "I wonder where the rest of the team is?"
"I know. I was thinking Anne Maria would be here by now." Topher said, looking sadly over.
Next to finish was Lindsay, Tyler, Millie and Damien finished and after the handcuffs came off Millie exclaimed "I am so proud of all of us finishing. Thanks for leading us, Tyler."
The next duo to finish was Scott and Courtney as Courtney yelled in anger "Damn it. I wanted to finish first. How could I lose to someone like Lindsay." Courtney yelled in frustration.
"Geez thanks." Lindsay said annoyed at Courtney insulting her and was reminded of why she hated Courtney last season.
Justin was the next one to finish the challenge "How am I the only one who has finished for my team?" Justin said, looking to see where the rest of his team was.
Leshawna and Harold finished next as Zoey walked up to both of them as she noticed something that caught her eyes "Harold what is up with your neck and your hair? It looks messed up."
"A gentleman never kisses and tells." Harold coyly said as Leshawna giggled.
Confessional- Leshawna
"Get your head out of the gutter people, as all we did was have a makeout session in the catacombs. Nothing else."
Back To Scene
The next duo to finish was Chase and Emma as Emma was very angry dealing with Chase "Take these damn handcuffs off." As Chase and Emma get the cuffs off of them Emma smacks Chase upside the head with the cuffs "Well that felt satisfying." Emma said walking away proud of her actions.
"Momma?" Chase said in a delirious state.
As Chase was laying there in pain Duncan, Bowie, and Gwen were the next to finish as Courtney observed the three of them finishing "Why would Gwen be with Duncan and Bowie despite being on opposite teams?" Courtney wondered.
Scott however feigned ignorance "I don't know."
Confessional- Scott
"I definitely have an idea of why Gwen stayed with Duncan, and I guess Bowie. But there's no way in hell I would tell Courtney as she was already pissed off about not finishing first in general or for our team, so I didn't want to fuel her anger, even if it is a turn on for me. What I like a feisty woman"
Back To Scene
Sky and Julia were the next duo to finish as Sky saw how many people had already finished "Oh come on. How could we have not finished better?" Sky huffed in anger.
Soon after Bridgette and Geoff were the next duo to reach the finish line as Geoff looked behind him and saw Brody and Jasmine "What took you guys so long?" Bridgette asked.
"We got a little lost in the catacombs dudes. Bad sense of direction." Brody said. "I should have had Jasmine lead."
Katie and Ella were the next duo to finish and a few seconds later an absolutely exhausted Cameron and Ezekiel finished the challenge "Ugh never again." Cameron said as he laid on the ground.
"You two, okay?" Jasmine asked in concern.
"We got lost eh, legs are hurting, leave me alone, legs are in pain." Ezekiel said in exhaustion.
Jo and Brick are the next duo to finish with a limping Brick, "What happened to you two?" Justin asked.
"Captain Wet Pants over here broke his ankle and then he accidentally lost our paddles. I just can't believe we let home school and bubble boy beat us." Jo said in anger "But Brick did his best I guess."
"Thanks Jo." Brick said.
Cheese Wheels
Back over at the cheese wheels Alejandro, Eva, Jen and Trent had just arrived as Alejandro had an idea "Eva could you break the cuffs with your hands?"
"Why?" Eva asked.
"Because these cuffs are going to slow us all down. Now Eva, break them." Alejandro ordered.
"No, we could get a penalty for doing this, guys." Trent tried to protest what Alejandro was doing as Eva without hesitation broke her and Alejandro's cuffs and soon after Jen and Trent's handcuffs as well. Unfortunately, Jen accidentally took a misstep and knocked her and Trent into the water.
Jen was not happy at all being in the water as she popped out of the water with a frog on her hair, "Ahhh! Oh my gosh this is horrible. Only my beautician touches my hair. My hair is ruined!" Jen yelled out in frustration.
Trent tried to comfort Jen "Jen it's okay. Just stay calm and-" Trent began to say but before Trent could say anything more Alejandro threw a cheese wheel down to them.
"There you go Jen for a lady as fashioned forward as you." Alejandro complimented Jen as the camera panned to a blank staring Jen, and Trent who was raising an eyebrow at the exchange while the camera last panned over to Eva who was starting to chuckle.
Confessional- Eva
"(Laughs) Ha, that whole thing is amusing. Didn't think Trent was going to fall for another girl as he said during the Aftermath show last season, he was not going to enter a serious relationship after everything that went down with Gwen. That dude can't help himself."
Finish Line
Back at the finish line Chris announced "Looks like we have a couple more finishers" as a drenched Heather, a freaked-out Sierra and a still unconscious Cody and Mickey as Sierra and Heather were each pushing a cheese wheel.
"Yay we did it." Sierra cheered as she and Heather were freed from their handcuffs as were Cody and Mickey, Sierra gave Cody a hug as he began to come too.
Cody, regaining consciousness, looked around as he pulled away from Sierra's grip and saw something that concerned him, "Where's Kitty?" He asked. Mickey nudged his best friend and pointed over to a soaked Kitty and Anne Maria pushing their cheese wheel both unhappy and both had a frog in their hair. "Oh my gosh what happened to you?" Cody asked in shock.
Before Kitty could say something, Anne Maria jumped the gun and began yelling at Sierra, "You bitch, you are a fucking bitch. How dare you push me into the water and try to ruin my hair." Anne Maria began to charge at Sierra but luckily for her she had both Gwen and Scott holding her back.
"Wait a minute Sierra pushed you both into the water?" Courtney asked. "How did that happen?"
"I'll explain." Kitty announced. "In the catacombs, we saw Cody and Mickey passed out, and I wanted to help them, so we carried them through the catacombs. When we got to the cheese wheels. Sierra and Heather saw what happened and Sierra shoved both of us without asking what happened to us. Luckily these cuffs broke loose in the water, somehow. But that's how we got soaked in water." Kitty explained angrily.
"Oopsie." Sierra said in embarrassment. However, before Sierra could say anything more Cody walked away in anger at hearing what happened to Kitty and technically Anne Maria as well, with Mickey joining him soon after. Sierra walked up to Heather in confusion and asked "Should I follow Cody? He seems angry."
"I think you've done enough for the team and should give Cody a minute to calm down at least." Heather explained as many of the team nodded in agreement with her.
"For once I agree with you." Gwen noted. "Sierra, you can't just shove teammates and potentially cost us a challenge."
"Anyways, if that's all taken care of. Congratulations are due for Team Amazon winning their third challenge and 5th overall. First Class waits for you all." Blaineley announced as the team had a subdued celebration due to the tension from Sierra's actions.
Near End Of Catacombs
Back at the catacombs Shawn and DJ were shown walking around still lost however much to the viewers shock, it seemed like Shawn was in a better mood however both were still nervous as Shawn put it best "We've been in here for hours, I am shocked they haven't told us the challenge is over."
DJ however was having a more positive outlook "Maybe another team got hopelessly lost." DJ then got a huge whiff of a rather horrific smell. "What is that putrid smell?" DJ asked out loud.
"I think it's coming from there." Shawn said pointing to a mysterious door as he and DJ opened it only to see an apathetic Noah and Owen handcuffed together as Owen was on a toilet.
DJ and Shawn could only stare in disgust and shock before both instinctively puked at the sight. Before both then ran out of sight as Owen as Owen said in embarrassment "Man that Moroccan stew can really rip through a guy." As Owen grabbed the toilet handle to flush which since they were underground was felt by a mime on the street who passed out.
Noah however seemed unaffected and had his own commentary "That's only a 6.2 on my Owen fart scale." Noah stated.
"There's a scale?" Owen asked in astonishment as he was finishing up.
"It's in development, but Sushi farts are a 1, Onion soup is a 5, spicy burrito farts go all the way up to 12. Those things can peel the varnish off a logger." Noah stated matter of factly.
"That's true but we should probably get going as I doubt anyone else is left in the catacombs buddy." Owen stated.
Finish Line
Back at the finish line Jen, Trent, Eva and Alejandro were the next ones to finish even if Jen was less than happy due to the frog in her hair. As Chris announced, "Alright contestants each team has one duo left between Noah and Owen or Shawn and DJ."
Alejandro however was less than pleased, "Of course Owen isn't done and is slowing our team down. The dude is dead weight."
Trent however was quick to defend his friend. "I'm sure him and Noah are doing their best."
Meanwhile
Back at the cheese wheels Noah and Owen emerge from the catacombs as Noah notes "Two cheese wheels left. We're still in this. Okay we throw the cheese into the water; each grab an oar and no! Owen, please don't do that." Noah said off track as he saw Owen eating a cheese wheel.
"What? Cheese is good for you?" Owen said in his defense as Noah looked on in disbelief.
Noah however quickly got to his senses "Fuck it. Throw the cheese in the water and let's get paddling and buddy if you eat more of that cheese you'll get voted off. Eat the cheese when we are done with the challenge okay?" Noah asked Owen who quickly nodded. "Let's go!"
As luck would have it Owen and Noah somehow managed to make great time as despite Owen's temptation to eat the cheese wheel they managed to finish. As Chris announced, "Team Style has earned second place for the challenge again."
"Yay guys we are all still safe." Owen cheered, however he soon noticed no one was cheering. "What's wrong guys?"
"What's wrong? WHAT'S WRONG?" Eva yelled out and walked up to smack Owen in the face "You almost cost us the damn challenge. You are a fucking liability." Eva said in anger.
"Back off, Eva back off." Noah yelled out as he grabbed Eva and prevented her from further beating Owen to a pulp.
Shawn and DJ showed up to the cheese wheels a minute later as Shawn noted "This is the last cheese wheel, let's just get on the cheese wheel and maybe another team got slowed down."
However, as DJ and Shawn were paddling, they noticed everyone was already waiting by the Louvre "That's it then." DJ said in shame at his or Shawn's fate.
"I am so sorry DJ. My fear of zombies cost our whole team the challenge." Shawn said as he and DJ soon walked up to the Louvre.
"It's okay buddy." DJ told Shawn as they reached the finish line.
"Well Team Victory, tonight you guys couldn't pull through for the challenge and someone is taking the drop of shame. We will see you at elimination tonight." Blaineley announced as she, Chris and Chef walked away.
"What the hell happened? You guys are two of the more athletic members on the team and yet you both cost us the challenge." Leshawna asked in anger.
Before Shawn could say something. DJ spoke up, "I cost us the challenge, not Shawn, I had a bad sense of direction so if you are looking for someone to blame, blame me. Shawn did nothing wrong."
"I guess that makes sense eh." Ezekiel said.
"What the-" Shawn told himself.
Trip Back To The Plane
Team Victory was holding their heads in shame after their loss as Lindsay was walking with Bridgette and Damien.
Lindsay was the first to speak up, "One thing I remembered was that if Minnie didn't have her drawing rejected, we could have made up valuable time."
Bridgette nodded at that assessment. "I agree. She also hasn't performed the best in challenges." Bridgette said. "If we can't vote for Shawn, I would rather vote off Millie. No way I would vote out DJ."
"Same here sister." Leshawna said walking up to both of them. The camera however also showed a concerned looking Damien.
Confessional- Damien
"This is bad. Really bad. Millie is my closest ally here, mainly because she is one of the smartest ones here. So, I have to protect her from this vote, I assumed the team would vote DJ or Shawn out for costing us the challenge, but DJ doesn't want Shawn to go home and if someone wants to vote for Shawn, DJ insists it be him. The problem is that everyone on the team likes DJ and so do I. He's an awesome guy. But I want those million dollars at the end. I have to find a way to get the target off Millie and onto DJ or as a last resort make it Shawn. Just not Millie. Not her."
Cargo Hold
In the cargo hold Bridgette, Geoff, and Brody were shown talking as Bridgette was by the entrance as Geoff is shown looking out at the void as Brody spoke up, "Dudes, this elimination sucks. I don't know who to vote off at all."
"I think we should vote Millie out." Bridgette explained as Brody looked confused.
Geoff spoke up "Do you have a legit reason for targeting her?" Geoff asked, still looking away from Bridgette.
"She's probably our weakest link on the team, and if we can't target Shawn that means voting out DJ." Bridgette explained,
"I am not voting out DJ" Geoff stated.
"Same here." Brody stated as well.
"Exactly and while it wouldn't be the worst idea to send Shawn home. I also don't want to go against DJ's wishes." Bridgette explained. "So, let's play it safe and vote out Millie. Agreed?" Bridgette asked as Brody nodded and Geoff gave a thumbs up looking away from Bridgette. "Okay see you guys at the elimination." Bridgette said as she walked away.
Once Bridgette was gone and out of earshot Brody walked up to Geoff "What happened dude? You and Bridgette used to be all over each other and now it's like you won't look at her. What's up?"
"Bridgette and I broke up. She wants to focus on the game, and I think she looks at me as a distraction. I don't know what to do dude." Geoff said in sadness.
"Just try and win her back, I think she'll come around, I promise." Brody reassured.
"I really hope so." Geoff said as he looked down at the ground.
Common Area
In the common area at one of the tables Damien and Millie were shown talking "I'm just nervous about this elimination as I've been performing poorly in the challenges lately." Millie noted.
"Just relax Millie. I know you won't like this, but I think we can get the votes to save you if we vote out DJ." Damien explained.
"DJ, why him?" Millie asked.
"Because he is so well liked and if we can't get rid of Shawn then we get rid of the other person who cost us the challenge who isn't you." Damien explained. "Look, if I can't get the votes concretely on DJ, I'll have it fall back on Shawn. But for now, we are targeting DJ."
At that moment Tyler walked up, "Hey Millie if you don't mind, can I talk to Damien alone?" Millie nodded and quickly left soon after. "Dude I'm pissed right now."
"Why, what are you angry about?" Damien asked in confusion.
"Well let's see here, you and Millie came in right when I was going to tell Lindsay all about the Beth vote as she is getting suspicious." Tyler explained.
"Dude it was merely a coincidence, if you want to tell her about the Beth vote go right ahead. I can tell this secret is eating away at you." Damien told Tyler expecting him to be calmed down by then. However, he quickly noticed that Tyler was still angry, "What else could have made you angry?"
"Lindsay and I are voting together tonight as well as I need to make sure she trusts me and given the fact that she is closer to DJ we were going to vote out Millie." Tyler said.
"That can't happen at all." Damien retorted back. "Look. Millie wants to work with both you and Lindsay as do I and we want all of us to be the final 4" Damien said as Tyler looked unconvinced.
Confessional- Damien
"I could tell that Tyler was still not feeling convinced about voting DJ out and there was a part of me that debated changing the target from DJ to Shawn. But I can't let Millie leave. So, we need a definitive target between the two as getting the target definitively off Millie is proving to be pretty difficult so far."
Back To Scene
"Look Damien, I will try to get Lindsay on board whether it's DJ, Shawn or a stick. But no promises." Tyler explained.
"Can you at least promise me you won't vote Millie out tonight?" Damien asked as Tyler gave him a thumbs up as he soon left, Damien then put his head down on the table "Ugh, I'm not optimistic at all about this. The universe needs to give me a sign."
As luck would have it Cameron and Ezekiel walked up to the table as Cameron spoke up "Who are you thinking of eliminating tonight?" Cameron asked.
"I would want DJ or Shawn eliminated but since DJ insisted that if people were going to target Shawn to instead target him instead so I would prefer DJ leaving over Shawn."
"I know that Millie is a target." Cameron stated. "I would like her to stay as she is always writing in that journal of hers and I am so curious about the whole thing."
"Journal? I never noticed a journal." Damien stated.
"How do we get the votes, eh? There's only 3 of us and with Millie it's only 4. I'm not good with Math but I think we need 7 to tie the vote and 8 to eliminate who we want. But who do we get with us, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"I think I did enough work with Tyler to vote with us. With him comes Lindsay." Damien explained to both of them.
"Okay so that's six we need two more." Cameron said.
"So, what about the rest of them, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"I've observed them and have thought it through rather quickly, and if we are all in on voting DJ, I have one solution that can get us to 8 votes tentatively. Obviously, DJ won't vote for himself. He's not Lindsay levels of dumb. Shawn wouldn't vote out DJ since in a way DJ is kind of sacrificing himself for Shawn. Ezekiel, you mentioned that during Season 1, Geoff and Bridgette were close friends with DJ, so I assume they are off the table?" Cameron asked as Ezekiel nodded. "I get along with her, but I think Jasmine would keep DJ safe to keep Shawn happy. So that leaves Harold and Leshawna."
"So, we have to get those two to vote out DJ?" Damien asked as Cameron nodded, Damien then turned his head "A tough task but Ezekiel is up to it."
"Me? Why me, eh?" Ezekiel asked in disbelief.
"Damien is stressed out and between the two of us, I think you're better socially since you know them a little longer. Good luck buddy." Cameron explained.
"Ugh fine, eh. But you owe me big time buddy." Ezekiel said exasperated at his situation.
Economy Class
Ezekiel walked into the economy class section as he was very nervous about the vote, his closest ally in Cameron wanted to keep Millie due to her journal and vote out DJ but in order for the vote to succeed Cameron has decided to make Ezekiel convince Harold and Leshawna to vote out DJ. As Ezekiel walked around, he saw Harold and Leshawna cuddling in the corner.
Confessional- Ezekiel
"This is so awkward, eh. I have to convince Harold the guy who told me not even a week ago, told me to fuck off. Now I have to convince him to vote out the most liked person in the game in DJ. I am doomed, eh."
Back To Scene
Ezekiel walked up awkwardly to a cuddling Harold and Leshawna "Am I interrupting anything here, eh?" Ezekiel asked as both quickly got off of each other.
"No, no you aren't homeschooled, what do you want?" Leshawna asked as she was hoping Ezekiel didn't put two and two together with her and Harold.
"Do you guys know who you're voting for?" Ezekiel asked as he began his mission.
"Harold and I assumed the plan was Millie." Leshawna explained as Ezekiel shook his head no. "What did something change?"
Ezekiel realized he shook his head no and had to course correct, "I've heard rumblings that the target is DJ tonight, eh."
"DJ? That doesn't make sense, if both of them failed in the challenge the team would just send Shawn home." Leshawna explained as she felt very close to DJ and was not ready to see him leave.
"Remember DJ took the blame for him and Shawn messing up. So, I can't imagine DJ would want the vote to be Shawn." Harold said as he remembered what DJ said right after the challenge.
"Look I'll leave you two skinny boys too, I need to think this through as I don't want either of them to go home and I would rather Shawn leave but Harold I'll do what you want," Leshawna said as she walked away.
Confessional- Leshawna
"Getting rid of DJ or Millie is so difficult and it annoys me that DJ is protecting Shawn as it is now putting him in the fire. But this team can't carry any dead weight, and I think Harold and I getting together is helping me see this game so much clearer. I hope so. "
Back To Scene
Once Leshawna was gone, Ezekiel decided to keep the conversation going "What are you thinking Harold?"
"This is so difficult as DJ is a great person and friend of mine, is there any way Shawn can be the target?" Harold asked.
"I wouldn't mind it, but Cameron and especially Damien are insistent on it being DJ." Ezekiel stated, unknowingly throwing Cameron under the bus. However, Ezekiel then noticed Harold was looking guilty "Is something wrong Harold, eh? If you don't want to vote DJ out, I can try to get those guys to flip."
"It's not voting out DJ. Gosh! Deep down I know it's a game and I have to play selfishly to some degree. But what has me feeling down is making things awkward this morning between us. It's just going to take a long time for us to fully trust and gel with each other. I want to trust and get to know you, but it will take a while." Harold explained.
"Well if we vote together that's a good way of trust I reckon, eh. If you don't mind me asking, are you and Leshawna, you know a thing, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
Harold was shy and feeling coy but quickly remembered that Ezekiel saw him and Leshawna cuddling so he realized that there was no point in lying "Yes, but can you at least promise not to tell anyone about this? Leshawna and I are trying to not paint a target on our backs."
"Don't worry, I promise I won't tell anyone and I'm happy for you and if we vote together, I look forward to working with you, eh." Ezekiel reassured Harold.
Confessional- Harold
"This is such a hard decision. I genuinely don't know. I don't know."
Elimination Ceremony
Chris was standing at the podium, "Team Victory the ironic name tonight that's for sure. It's time to vote!"
Confessional- Damien
"I'm sorry. I can't afford to have Millie leave the game, so it has to be you."
Confessional- DJ
"Sorry Millie. You are my best bet to make sure Shawn, and I are both safe."
Confessional- Leshawna
"I need to play it safe. Sorry Shawn. My vote is for you tonight"
Confessional- Bridgette
"Ugh no matter what this elimination just makes me sad. But Millie, I don't know you as well as DJ so I'm sorry."
Confessional- Harold
"I can't decide. I'm still trying to make up my mind. Please don't hate me (stamps passport) ugh, I'm so sorry…."
Elimination Ceremony
"Here are the players who are safe. Cameron, Leshawna, Bridgette, Ezekiel." Cameron was shown being relieved while Leshawna and Bridgette were shown looking happy, and Ezekiel was happy.
"Thank goodness, eh." Ezekiel said in relief.
"Other people that are safe are Damien, Brody, Geoff." Chris announced as Brody and a reluctant Geoff gave each other fist bumps, "Jasmine, Lindsay and Tyler are also safe and the other 3 each got votes."
"Shawn got votes?" Jasmine said in shock.
"Tonight's vote was 7 votes, 6 votes, to 1 vote. The final two marshmallows are going too
…..
…..
…..
…..
…
…
…
…
…

….. Shawn and Millie."
"Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. I'm so sorry DJ." Millie quickly said, apologizing to DJ.
DJ however didn't seem to hold any ill will. "It's fine. I know that you had to vote for me, and I had to vote for you. We can still be friends."
"Thanks DJ." Milie said as she walked back to the stands.
However, Shawn was an even bigger wreck than Millie as he gave DJ a huge hug and was in tears, "It's not fair for you to go home tonight for my screw ups. Why can't it be anyone else but you tonight? I should have been the one sent home. If I knew that this was how it was going to end. " Shawn said crying and hugging DJ.
"Shawn don't say that man, I'm not sorry for telling people to vote for me if they were gonna vote for you. Heck someone still voted for you, and you don't deserve that." DJ stated as the camera quickly flashed to Leshawna looking down, "You deserve to stay here as this is your first chance playing this crazy game while this is my third. I would never want to stop one of my close friends from trying to win this game when I already got that chance."
"Thank you, DJ. I'm going to miss you, so much." Shawn said sadly.
"I'll miss you too, all of you. There are no hard feelings for voting me out tonight, I hope one of you wins this game and I wish all of Team Victory the best of luck." DJ said 'jumping' out of the plane quickly getting out of sight soon after.
"Well after a bit of a downer elimination, Team Victory you guys can try and get some sleep tonight for tomorrow's challenge." Chris stated.
"We have another challenge tomorrow?" Leshawna asked in anger.
"Why of course. There are still 41 of you crazy kids left. Sleep tight." Chris said walking away as Team Victory dispersed.
Confessional- Millie
"Honestly I'm thankful to still be here but I have to step it up in challenges. I can't let this second chance go to waste even if seeing DJ leave is very hard."
Confessional- Bridgette
"Losing DJ is going to bring morale down for the team, I hope people understand why some of us voted for Millie over DJ, but we need this team together after an elimination like that. I don't know who can be the one to bring us all together though."
Confessional- Harold
"Right before the vote Leshawna asked me what I wanted to do and I told her I am voting out DJ and I told her that if she wants me to work with Ezekiel that means Zeke and I have to vote together, I knew that she was the vote on Shawn and she told me she wasn't going to force a tie. I don't think I can trust Ezekiel and I certainly don't like him, but for the sake of Leshawna I'm willing to build a bridge that was once burned. I just hope that I don't regret this."
Closing
Chris and Blaineley were shown in the pilot compartment of the plane, "Wait until the next episode when we drop a shocking season long twist on the passengers." Chris announced in glee.
"It's a twist no one will see coming, next time on Total Drama-" Blaineley began to say.
"World Race! " Both announced closing the episode showing the plane still stationed at the Louvre.

Notes:
Holy cow this chapter is over 16,000 words long, probably the longest one I have ever written.
So there's our first Paris episode in the clear with it being Ridonculous Race themed instead. So I do want to say that this episode is so long because I genuinely wanted to highlight almost everyone. Heck I think everyone sans Katie and Ella had at least one line this episode. As for the challenge I knew I wanted to split this up into a 3 parter. First being the drawing which was super easy to incorporate as a World Tour challenge, second being the catacombs, and last being the cheese wheels with the biggest emphasis on the catacombs by far.
A fair amount of plots moving forward (Harold and Leshawna being a couple officially, Bridgette putting her and Geoff's relationship on hold, Lindsay starting to figure out the Beth vote off, Scott confirming his crush on Courtney) and some plots that are just beginning (Alejandro trying to swoon Jen, Brick believing Jo after the Dave elimination). All in all I hope that anyone reading this likes where these plots are going and I am excited for how they will keep progressing.
Now onto our eliminated contestant and that is DJ this chapter, the second person from Canon World Tour to be eliminated and I imagine somewhat of a shock for some people reading this. But for me I always had DJ as an early boot the more I planned for this Fanfiction. The main reason being the fact that I got rid of his hurting animal plot, which I never found funny and I found it kind of cruel looking back. However, without that plot line I quickly realized that DJ just had barely anything else in World Tour. Seriously so much of his content is that animal curse storyline. When coming up with any storylines for him however I constantly reached a dead end, I had no love interest for him at all, anything related to Geoff I can do better with Brody best friend wise, and of all the newbies on Team Victory (Cameron, Laurie, Brody, Jasmine, Shawn, Millie, Damien) I didn't really find who DJ could truly bounce off of or develop much of a story with.
That was until I wrote the scene with Shawn and DJ back in the New York chapter with them getting the carriages and I knew I had at least something to work with DJ. But I also knew with all the other crazy stuff going on, I didn't want this friendship to be a big one. Then came the catacombs chapter and I realized that DJ was perfect to eliminate here as I could have him and Shawn partner up on the challenge and to have DJ somewhat help Shawn with that challenge being a hard one on Shawn and go one step further to protect Shawn from elimination. Now I will say there was more to why DJ protected Shawn and more to Shawn's zombie obsession than what was told but that'll be revealed in a later chapter.
As for getting the votes, I knew I couldn't have Jasmine via Shawn, Shawn himself, Geoff, Bridgette, Brody or DJ vote DJ out so I kind of had to improvise and slap dash the votes together between the other 8 7 people and while I'm not the happiest how it turned out, it got the job done.
Next chapter, the contestants travel to Calanque de Maubois, France aka the Mediterranean chapter in Ridonculous Race, where between sharks, castle building, and boat racing it's all out battle for the three teams as sparks fly with the jumbo jet completely sidelined as another contestant will be eliminated.
But until then this is TDFAN1998 signing off and if you are reading this, have a great day.
Chapter 9: Mediterranean Homesick Blues
Summary:
The 41 remaining contestants are without the Total Drama Jumbo Jet and have to make it to the Mediterranean coast to start this challenge. Teamwork is essential, and poor communication dooms some people. One contestant feels ignored by their teammates, while another person dumps an ex for good. The Top 40 is set, and another person leaves the plane by the end of the episode.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Mediterranean Homesick Blues
Recap
The recap begins with Chris and Blaineley in the pilot compartment "Previously on Total Drama World Race we traveled to Paris where our contestants' wills were tested, for a few their artistic abilities were on full display and bravery was challenged." Chris narrated.
"On Team Amazon, Scott confessed to Gwen about his developing crush on Courtney but was crushed to learn Courtney looked at him as a friend, ouch! Meanwhile Sierra was a mess not being partnered up with Cody during the challenge and that reached a fever pitch after Kitty and Anne Maria accidentally scared Cody and Mickey and knocked them out. When Sierra saw what happened she shoved Kitty and Anne Maria into the water. Which left Cody, Kitty, and Anne Maria all pissed off. Yikes." Blaineley stated.
"Over at Team Style, the aftermath of the Dave elimination was still in effect as many people assumed Jo was the one who flipped, and many people didn't want any association with her. With Julia reveling in the chaos. However, Jo found an unlikely ally in Brick who after hearing Jo out chose to believe her. Alejandro tried to begin flirting with fellow teammate Jen only for Jen to be unresponsive leaving the Latin teen frustrated that his charm wasn't working. Owen and Noah struggled in the challenge due to Owen feeling the effects of the Moroccan stew and almost eating their cheese wheel. Their less-than-ideal performance got Eva pissed off and almost beat Owen up." Chris narrated. "But they managed to give their team a second-place finish."
"That's right Chris, but the big losers of the last episode were Team Victory. Ironic last night at least. Millie's picture of her team wasn't approved at first leading to an early setback, Harold and Leshawna confessed their love to each other in the catacombs which is so juicy, as was Bridgette putting her relationship with Geoff on hold. But what ultimately set Team Victory to an almost guaranteed loss was Shawn's fear of the catacombs in relation to his fear of zombies and the zombie apocalypse. Despite Shawn's fears, DJ voluntarily took the blame for his partner, insisting that if someone wanted to vote out Shawn, they should vote for him to leave instead when Team Victory lost." Blaineley explained.
"Damien, fearful of his closest ally Millie's screw up with the caricature drawing, seized the opportunity and got enough votes with an assist from Ezekiel, to send the gentle giant home and barely kept Millie in the game. We have 41 contestants still vying for the win. However, the Total Drama jumbo jet hasn't moved, and today's challenge is going to be long and tedious for our contestants." Chris explained.
"Who will ruin their chances at a million dollars? Oh, they all got potential, right here, right now on Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley said, closing out the recap.

Dear Mom and Dad I'm Doing Fine
The theme song immediately begins showing Owen underwater swimming while Noah and Cameron look on in disgust underwater pointing to Owen's lack of swimsuit which makes Owen instantly cover up
You Guys Are On My Mind

You Asked Me What I Wanted To Be
Brick, Eva, Jo, Sky, and Courtney are shown paddling the boat with Jo and Sky glaring at each other with Sky also glaring at Duncan for what he did to Dave, while Brick looks enthusiastic and Eva has a neutral expression.
Now I Think The Answer Is Plain To See
The boat crashes into a raft holding Gwen, Ella, Kitty, and Mickey with Gwen looking resigned to her fate, Ella not seeming to mind while Mickey looks freaked out until Kitty gives him a pat on the back to try and calm him down.
I Wanna Be Famous
Duncan quickly tries to pull Gwen off the raft but Courtney stops and glares at him as the camera flashes to the next scene.
I Wanna Live Close To The Sun

(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
The episode begins in the economy class section as the camera shows Owen sleeping, Trent practicing his guitar and both Brick and Alejandro talking to each other. "Ugh stupid Economy Class section. Today has to be the day we get our team back into first class." Alejandro lamented.
"Agreed. I don't mind the food or living conditions, but I can't lie, it'd be nice to go back in there and eat more edible foods. That and maybe some of the tension on the team can be relieved." Brick said.
Alejandro raised his eyebrows and decided to fake ignorance, "Oh that's just silly Brick. There's no tension on this team. We're all one big happy family."
"No offense sir, but you're wrong. Eva smacked Owen in the face yesterday, not to mention Jo and Sky are always glaring at each other. This team is a mess." Brick explained as he looked down.
"Well Owen is an oaf, and Eva has anger issues so those two are bound to clash. As for Jo and Sky, them being mad at each other is perfect for us as it keeps both of us safe." Alejandro stated.
"I suppose sir, but I feel bad that Jo is an outcast on this team." Brick said.
"She did this to herself, either she flipped and sent Dave home which makes her look like a hard gameplayer who plays way too hard, or she voted me off back in Morocco, so I have no use working with her if she wrote my name down or if she flipped." Alejandro explained.
"I don't think she did anything wrong though and I wouldn't be shocked if Jo is getting set up." Brick explained.
However, at this point Alejandro was starting to lose some interest in the conversation "She can't be trusted. Plain and simple and in this game, you have to put feelings aside."
Brick put his head down in shame at what Alejandro was saying, "I know sir. But I'm someone who plays and lives life with my heart." Brick said looking over at Jo, who was by herself.
Confessional- Brick
"I just don't get why the whole team won't even speak to Jo. I truly wish someone would believe her as I saw the honest Jo yesterday. I don't know if Julia set Jo up like she said, but I do think she's innocent and didn't vote Dave off, and regardless of if she did or didn't, I don't care. She's different."
Another Part of Economy Class
Over at Team Victory the camera showed Leshawna, Bridgette and Lindsay talking despite no audio coming from them, instead the scene focused on Damien who was looking around, Millie who looked down in sadness still feeling bad that she voted out DJ, and an annoyed Tyler who also looked over to Lindsay and gave her a nervous smile and wave.
Confessional- Damien
"This ideal Final 4 of myself, Tyler, Millie and Lindsay are something that I want to have become true. But this whole Beth vote situation has made things awkward. Also, it shouldn't have been awkward, I saw that Beth was getting close to Alejandro, I put a stop to it and I got everyone in my alliance who would vote Beth off on board. But Tyler can't bring himself to tell Lindsay the truth even though she has to know at this point that Tyler voted Beth off in New York."
Back To Scene
Tyler broke the awkward tension "Is today the day I can finally tell Lindsay I voted her best friend off?"
Damien rolled his eyes "Tell Lindsay whenever you want too, you are a grown man. I just want this group of us to solidify moving forward."
"Well voting off one of the members best friends instead of just adding Beth to the alliance is a good way not to get it solidified." Tyler stated.
"You voted Beth off too." Damien pointed out.
"I did because you told me too. When she could have been added to the group." Tyler argued back.
"Well, the votes were already their dude, so I figured I'd be a good friend and include you in the majority." Damien explained as both were getting angrier with each other.
"Okay, needless bickering between you two isn't going to solve anything. This is all needlessly complicated." Millie stated before returning to write in her journal, to ease her mind from the bickering.
Damien remembered what Cameron said about a journal and tried to sneak a look into the thing "Oh a journal, what are you writing in there Millie?" Damien asked.
"Nothing important guys. Just my thoughts about life and the game in general." Millie quickly said, trying to deflect.
Confessional- Millie
"Ugh, I forgot those two were sitting right there, Tyler didn't seem to mind or care but now Damien along with Cameron are always questioning me about this journal and for now it's my business not theirs."
Back To Scene
As Tyler and Damien decided to change the topic of conversation, the camera panned over to Shawn and Jasmine. Shawn was still feeling horrible about DJ getting voted out "Ugh, I just wish that I could have done more to save DJ in the game. He protected me in the game, and I can't even properly thank him."
"Shawn, mate, don't worry about it too much, that's all in the past and all we can do is move forward in this game." Jasmine reassured Shawn with a slight smile on her face.
"I know Jasmine. I know. I just feel very guilty about DJ leaving because it was my fear of zombies that slowed DJ and I down. That's why DJ took the fall for me." Shawn said in sadness looking down at the ground.
"Well, I have an idea. Maybe if you get this whole zombie obsession under control it'll help you out and the team." Jasmine said with the intention of helping Shawn.
However, for Shawn he misinterpreted Jasmine's intentions and took immediate offense to what she said, "There is absolutely nothing wrong with thinking there's a zombie apocalypse and I have the whole thing under control. I can't, I can't even look at you." Shawn said in pure anger walking away leaving Jasmine speechless.
First Class
At Team Amazon, Topher and Anne Maria were shown talking in one of the first-class couches, as the camera picked up on what Anne Maria was saying. "So, at this party, it was a bunch of us, and the older co-eds were drinking and all of a sudden the police showed up." Anne Maria stated as Zoey walked up to them.
"Hey Anne Maria. Hi Topher. What are you two talking about?" Zoey asked as she took a seat.
"Oh, Anne Maria is telling me a story about growing up in New Jersey. She and a bunch of her friends got visited by a police officer at a party." Topher explained.
"Wow. I had no idea Anne Maria that you were arrested." Zoey taunted.
"It's nothing like that red. It was just a misunderstanding, that was all." Anne Maria stated.
Zoey however wasn't convinced, "That's what they all say."
"First of all, Zoey, if you must know, people were drinking soda, and the cop missed the house and had the wrong address. Besides, do I look like the person that would end up in jail especially with my tan and body." Anne Maria said in a very bitter tone. "Secondly have you ever been in trouble with the law, Zoey?"
Zoey was getting annoyed with Anne Maria's presence "Nope I am a perfect law-abiding citizen."
"Oh, so you're a goody two shoes, with no personality or fun. That makes sense." Anne Maria said, trying to bait Zoey into an argument.
"That's not what that means." Zoey flatly said, trying to calm herself down.
"It kind of sounds like it, Zoey." Anne Maria stated angrily.
"Um, are you girls, okay?" Topher asked, sensing the tension between both of them.
"Fine" both said at the same time glaring at each other clearly annoyed at each other while Topher looked back and forth at both of them in confusion.
Confessional- Topher
"This might just be me, but lately I've been sensing a lot of animosity between Anne Maria and Zoey. I have no clue what the problem would be. Maybe they can get past whatever it is. They are my friends and alliance members, so I want us and Team Amazon to succeed. Lastly, if I am being totally honest, I kind of found one of the girls there cute to the point I wanted to ask her out. I won't say who, I just hope that she's happy."
Back To First Class
The camera next panned over to Emma and Chase sitting across each other in the seats with Emma looking like she'd rather be anywhere else and Chase trying to talk to her.
"Chase, just leave me alone." Emma said angrily, looking at the floor.
"Why, what have I ever done wrong to you babe? You're my whole world." Chase said, trying to flirt and bring her back.
"Chase you are an idiot, selfish, and an absolute pain in the ass." Emma accused Chase in anger.
Chase, however, was either oblivious or ignorant, "Come on Emma. I am not those things. Besides I'll know you come around babe." Chase said standing up and leaving to another part of the first class. Emma was left dumbstruck at Chase's willful ignorance. One person who saw the whole conversation from afar was Heather.
Confessional- Heather
"Look Emma is someone I could work with in this game. Yes, she is an absolute loser. But I need all the allies I can get, especially with Courtney and Gwen wanting to target me so badly."
Back To Scene
Heather decided now was the best opportunity to recruit Emma as an ally and walked up to Emma. However, Emma was in such an agitated state she took one look at Heather and yelled out "What?!"
Heather, annoyed at Emma's display of hostility, had second thoughts "Never mind." Heather said, turning back away.
Emma quickly recognized her mistake, "No wait. I'm sorry, I am just going through a lot right now." Emma said, defending herself.
Heather was debating in her head whether to keep talking to Emma. However, she knew that Emma is a good number and ally to have so she decided to engage in conversation with Emma and walked up to her. "Look, being nice and making friends isn't my thing at all. But I saw something was bugging you."
Emma was grateful that someone was willing to listen to her, "Thanks Heather. I am just overwhelmed. Chase is absolutely unbearable today and no matter how many times I tell him it's over he doesn't get it. He has genuinely ruined this experience for me." Emma explained.
"Why don't you just dump his ass? You have made it clear you do not like him at all." Heather asked.
"You don't think I've tried. But he is so determined for us to get back together and can't move on. I want to move on." Emma said in sadness.
"Maybe break up with him by force." Heather reasoned with a grin on her face.
"What do you mean force?" Emma asked.
"If Chase gets it from a physical standpoint that things are done maybe he'll realize that you are done with him and want to move on." Heather explained. However, at that moment Heather looked out the window and saw the Louvre right outside. "Wait, we are still in Paris? What the hell?"
As fate would have it Chris' voice came on the intercom "Attention passengers meet all of us outside the plane for the start of your next challenge."
As Heather and Emma looked on in concern Gwen walked by and summed up how everyone on the plane was feeling "This can't be good at all."
"For once I agree." Heather said standing up.
Start Of Challenge
Everyone was standing outside the jumbo jet and the Louvre with Heather speaking about how everyone was feeling "Chris, do you mind telling us what the hell is going on?"
"Gladly Heather. Today marks the first of the next two challenges where the Total Drama jumbo jet is going to be out of commission." Chris explained.
"Wait, I'm confused. The jet is out of conditioner?" Lindsay asked.
"Commission. Not conditioner. The thing is the producers wanted us to not solely rely on the jumbo jet for transportation." Chris further explained.
"Okay, but where are we going and how are we getting there?" Courtney asked.
At that moment Blaineley walked out of the plane "Well the good news is that we have 3 trains that are waiting for all of you as we are going to Calanque de Maubois off the coast of the Mediterranean."
Confessional- Jen
"Eeeeee! This place is one of my dream locations to visit. The red cliffs are awesome and are great for fashion shoots. Not to mention the beaches are amazing. But best of all the south of France is where the most glamorous people hang out. It's like Paris but with glossier lipstick. Oh, I need to return Lindsay her lip gloss I borrowed, then again she has enough so I may just keep it for myself."
Back To Scene
Leshawna was the next one to speak up "OK and how are we supposed to get to the train station if you don't mind me asking?"
"Get there by any means necessary, partner up, take a taxi, go to the subway, we don't care." Blaineley explained.
"One important thing to note is that in order for a train to take off you'll need everyone on your team to arrive at the train station. In 3, 2, 1! Go to the train station but the Mediterranean is where the true challenge is." At that Chris grabbed a whistle which got everyone to take off.
Race To The Train Station
As the race began a fair amount of people took a taxi to the train station with a lot of people willing to partner up with the first taxi showing Owen and Noah with Owen looking relaxed. "Oh man it feels great to not have to be in that jet for once, and to get away from Eva."
Noah, who was looking out the window, turned his head at the mention of his second closest ally, "Eva, what about Eva?"
"Nothing massive, it's just that she kind of scares me. I mean she hit me upside the head after the last challenge." Owen explained in fear.
"She did but I can control her. I promise you she won't fly off the handle again." Noah reassured Owen
However, Owen was still nervous and unconvinced, "I suppose. Just promise me Noah if Eva and I are targets you'll side with me over her."
"Of course, Owen. Do you really need to ask?" Noah said in a deadpan tone.
Meanwhile in another taxi was Trent and Jen who despite saying they needed to not be seen as a duo decided to take a taxi together as Jen was talking to the camera "I told the confessional this, so I'll say it here as well. The south of France is where the most glamorous and fashionable people hang out. I can't wait to go there. This is like a dream come true."
"Okay quick question. Do I have the look of someone who is visiting the south of France with what I am wearing?" Trent asked.
"Hmm, not quite yet, I have some fake tanner though that would really bring the look together." Jen told Trent. "If you want some."
"Eh, you only live once and while I'm hesitant. Let's do it." Trent said eagerly.
As Jen and Trent's taxi had a puff cloud of fake tanner smoking out of it, the camera next went to Cody and Mickey's cab. With Mickey looking nervous.
Cody, noting his best friend's condition, decided to ask "Dude, what's wrong now?"
Mickey was admittedly embarrassed but decided to tell anyway "Fast cars give me motion sickness quickly. I just hope whatever the challenge is, the Mediterranean isn't one that'll freak me out."
"Come on dude, we are going to do amazing. We've made it this far. I imagine your family and friends back home will be proud of you." Before Mickey could respond to what Cody was saying he continued as he sighed, "I wish Kitty would have gone in the taxi with us but maybe there wasn't enough room."
Mickey, who was thankful to not have to talk about his home life, decided to change the topic "Kitty? I figured you'd be more worried about Gwen from what Kitty was telling me, you had a huge crush on her during Season 1. Heck, I saw you trying to flirt with her in Egypt."
Cody was quick to defend himself "Of course I am worried for Gwen as well, but she can handle herself. It's why I like her so much. She does her own thing. But I also always enjoy it when it is just you, me and Kitty together. But she's just a friend and Gwen is girlfriend material." Cody tried to defend himself however as the more Cody was a blubbering incoherent mess the less convinced Mickey was, something that Cody picked up on. "And you don't believe me, do you?"
"Nope, not even a little bit. But I'll leave it alone and for your sake, I'll choose to believe you." Mickey explained as Cody offered a fist bump as a peace sign which Mickey missed and accidentally punched Cody in the gut, "Oh my gosh I am so sorry. I don't high five or fist bump enough. One time I accidentally gave my twin brother a black eye. Please don't be mad at me."
"It's, it's fine. Luckily you didn't hit that hard." Cody reassured Mickey, who felt a lot better even if he still felt some level of embarrassment.
"Perks of being a wimp I guess." Mickey said jokingly.
Subway Station
At the subway station a fair amount of people was waiting as the camera first showed Heather and Emma waiting for the subway as Heather wanted to find out more about how Emma turned out this way due to Chase, "So if you don't mind me asking what it was like dating Chase?"
"It was awful. Chase never listened to me ever and one thing he has never apologized for was all the personal strife he caused me, mainly when Chase saved my cat from a tree."
"What is so bad about that?" Heather asked.
"Well Chase saved it, but the tree landed on my mother, and she calls me Jeff now and her mind has never been there since then." Emma further explained. "Have you ever had that feeling less than and your whole world just makes you feel hopeless." Emma asked.
Heather hesitated for a second before saying "No I don't know the feeling."
Confessional- Heather
"I actually do know the feeling of feeling down and less than. One of the reasons why I am playing this season so hard was how last season went. But it's hard to open up about that with others, everyone knows to some extent how embarrassed I felt about my head getting shaved and being bald. But what frustrated me and embarrassed me the most was that I gave my all in every challenge and helped to ensure my team won more often than not, and the moment I think I am safe, and I have a potential alliance with Duncan and Harold, I get voted out right before the merge. Oh, and I was bald too. This season I want to win and get the redemption I so desperately want and need."
Back To Subway Station
In another part of the subway section, it showed Duncan, Gwen and Justin all waiting for a subway. "At least it's nice to not be in the jet for a change." Gwen's statement however made Justin roll his eyes.
Duncan noticed this and decided to ask, "What's your problem?"
"I don't have a problem, but I find it ironic Gwen wants a change of scenery when she has constantly been in First Class while people like Bowie and I are stuck in Economy Class." Justin explained.
"Speaking of Bowie, where is that drama stirring troublemaker?" Duncan asked.
"He and I have a bet that I could beat him there while he goes on foot by his own volition." Justin explained. "The winner gets 10 dollars after the season, and I will enjoy those 10 dollars now."
Streets of Paris
In the streets, Jo and Brick were leading the others on the sidewalk with Jo talking to herself "I can't give up. I can never give up. Can you keep up, captain soggy pants?" Jo asked, slightly taunting him.
"I can go all day. Bring it on!" Brick cheered.
Right behind Jo and Brick were Courtney and Scott with Courtney slightly ahead of Scott. "Come on dirt boy are you really going to let a girl do better than you?" Courtney taunted as Scott smirked at what she was saying.
"I'll be fine Courtney." Scott said.
Confessional- Courtney
"It's odd but hanging out and competing with Scott is pretty much free therapy right now after what happened with Duncan in Egypt, as it takes my mind off Duncan as we just decided to not talk as much and put our relationship back on track after the game. But Scott brings out my competitive side without alienating others. He's a good friend, but due to Duncan, Scott and I will only ever be friends which I know he understands."
Confessional- Scott
"I know I could have done better than Courtney and shown her that I'm stronger than her, but I decided to be a gentleman to her and have her do better, I would love to get out of the friend zone with her. Maybe not today but soon."
Back to Scene
As the scene came back, it showed Sierra moping and crying on the streets as she was annoyed that Cody was nowhere near her and instead opted to go with Mickey in this challenge. "I miss him so much." Sierra said sadly.
Confessional- Sierra
"This is just so unfair. I'm Cody's biggest fan, and he left me in a taxi for Mickey, it feels like something out of a romantic movie except I'm the person who got stood up. Not to mention this had to happen in Paris, the city of love. Just my damn luck."
Train Station
As Chris, Chef, and Blaineley were waiting it showed Blaineley on the phone "Uh huh, yeah. Yep, we can definitely afford to do that, Mr. Strauss." Blaineley said as she hung up the phone.
"What did Don want?" Chris asked. "Besides interfering with my show."
"First of all, that man is all of our bosses Chris so it's his show at the end of the day." Blaineley said. "Besides, you might like this news."
"I seriously doubt that." Chris said in snark.
"Hold on Chris, let's hear her out." Chef said, trying to stop a potential argument.
"Don said once we use the jumbo jet, we have a second one that will be a part of a future challenge." Blaineley explained. Before Chris could ask any further, many of the contestants made it to the train station with the only contestants missing being the ones who ran to the train station in Brick, Jo, Shawn, Scott, Tyler, Jasmine, Bowie, Courtney, and Sierra.
However, Cody noticed something was off, "Didn't Katie and Ella also take a taxi?" Cody asked.
"Yeah" Gwen stated before her eyes widened in horror "Oh no. We're doomed." Gwen realized.
"How are we doomed freakshow?" Anne Maria asked, raising her eyebrows.
Gwen decided to ignore Anne Maria's statement, "If Katie is guiding them, we are going to be here a while. She has no sense of direction at all."
"I'm sure it can't be that bad." Mickey reassured but one look at Cody and Mickey knew that Gwen was telling the truth, and that Team Amazon was going to suffer a massive setback.
Katie and Ella's Taxi
"Okay go right again, I think that's where the station is." Katie said to the taxi driver,
"Are you sure Katie?" Ella asked nervously, "I don't see any other taxis here."
"Okay then let's take another left." Katie said as the taxi driver drove left "Oh no we're lost. We're at the trail section of Paris."
"Train station, Katie." Ella argued.
"I could have sworn I said train station." Katie said in embarrassment. "Train section, hurry!"
"Station." Ella said, correcting her friend.
Confessional- Katie
"Oh my gosh I am so embarrassed that my sense of direction is still terrible. I hope Ella's not angry at me. She's not the angry type at all but maybe she's better at hiding it."
Train Station
Back at the train station everyone who had finished was anxiously waiting for who'd arrive next. As luck would have it Jasmine, Shawn, and Tyler arrived at the train station which meant Team Victory was in the lead even if the three people who arrived had a lot of tension or at least Shawn did as he was angry at Jasmine for downplaying his zombie apocalypse line of thinking and for Tyler, Shawn was angry at him for voting DJ out the previous night.
Nonetheless, Chris announced "Team Victory is all here which means they can all board the train. All aboard!"
"Awesome dudes, we got a lead. Team Victory is going from the bottom to the top." Brody announced eagerly.
As the train took off both Team Style and Amazon were anxiously awaiting who was going to finish, luckily for both teams they each had a couple of people finish as Jo and Brick finished with Courtney and Scott right behind them. Which left for Team Amazon to finish Ella, Katie, and Sierra to finish, while Team Style still needed Bowie to finish. Luckily for Team Style Bowie showed up a few seconds later but it was clear he wasn't in the best condition physically to say the least.
Justin had a smirk as he saw Bowie show up. "Out of breath. Can't move. So much running." Bowie panted out of breath.
Justin walked up to Bowie, "You could have taken the subway station, aren't you someone who said you were so athletic?"
"Not, not in the mood." Bowie said, panting in pain. "Is everyone here?"
"Yep, we are, and I can't wait to get my 10 dollars." Justin boasted.
Blaineley interrupted the mood, "Well Team Style it looks like you all have a train to catch as you are all here."
While Team Style was entering the train, everyone who had already competed in Total Drama before decided to relax on Team Amazon, as each knew it was going to be a long time before Katie and Ella were going to make it to the train station. Kitty noticed that no one on her team seemed to be in any rush to see if they were gonna be there as Kitty walked up to Cody who was playing with a ball bouncing it against a wall, "Aren't you ready to get on the train?" Kitty asked in confusion.
"It's Katie and her sense of direction. One time at Playa De Losers, she walked into the kitchen thinking it was her bedroom that was 3 stories up." Cody explained. "We're going to be here awhile."
"Oh no." Kitty said as she decided to sit next to Cody.
Katie and Ella's Taxi
Katie and Ella had gotten out of the taxi and asked a local if this was the correct train station, however the local confirmed this train station goes to the northern most sections of France and beyond.
Ella put her hands in her face in embarrassment, "We should have specified what train station."
Katie was also embarrassed as she told the driver the closest train station and as it turned out to backfired on them. "It's okay Ella, our Taxi driver is still here." Katie reassured Ella. "Excuse me sir."
"Yes, what is it now!? You guys said the closest train station and we made it. I'm on my break." The irritable taxi driver said.
Katie ignored the taxi drivers rather sour mood "I should have specified we are going to the train station that takes off to South France and heads straight off the coast of the Mediterranean."
"We are so sorry." Ella said as well.
"That'll cost you extra." The taxi driver said.
"That's fine. We're in a race right now and our team needs us." Katie said as she and soon Ella got in the taxi as Katie put her head in her hands in embarrassment now.
"Is something wrong, Miss Katie?" Ella asked.
"I'm sorry that I got us so lost. This is so embarrassing." Katie lamented as the taxi began to take off.
"We'll be fine." Ella reassured Katie, holding no hard feelings for her causing this.
Challenge Site
Chris and everyone on Team Victory arrived at the challenge site. "Ooh, we're at the beach guys." Lindsay said eagerly. "Maybe today is a tanning competition."
"While that could be a future challenge, that won't be today's challenge. Instead, today's challenge is going to be a race to finish as each of you will be split up into 3 groups. The first part requires four of you to grab materials off a shark." Chris stated.
"Sharks! Seriously." Brody said in fear.
"Of course. Anyways, once those four grab the material, in this case sandcastle materials. The next 4 will build a sandcastle replica of the Castle of Versailles to a judge's standards. The last group of 5 will be given a key to one of three boats that you will have to drive from here to the coast of Iceland."
"Yeah, and how will these groups be assigned anyway?" Leshawna asked in impatience.
"Assigned randomly of course. As if we would let you all pick your own teams. Now hush. The group that will take on the shark for your team is Harold, Tyler, Ezekiel, and Jasmine." Harold, Tyler, and Ezekiel all gulped that they had to take on a potential shark. "The people building the sandcastle are, Lindsay, Cameron, Damien, and Millie which leaves Bridgette, Geoff, Brody, Leshawna, and Shawn as the boat racers."
Confessional- Harold
"I certainly didn't have potentially becoming shark food today on my bucket list. But I'm confident my mad skills will make us win the challenge."
Coastline
At the edge of the beach Ezekiel, Tyler, Jasmine and Harold looked out to the water, "What should we do, eh? We have a lead in this challenge which is weird for us eh." Ezekiel said.
Tyler was very nervous however, "I have no idea. How are any of us supposed to take on a shark?"
Jasmine however seemed calm and whistled, "Attention men. Get it together. I have an idea. One of us needs to be a distraction while at least two of us take on the shark to get the material, I think Tyler since you have a huge background in athletics you should be the distraction."
"I get it, but it's a freaking shark. This is terrifying." Tyler said, panicking.
"Don't worry mate, I'll have your back. If the shark attacks you, we fight it together." Jasmine reassured Tyler who breathed a sigh of relief.
"I think between Harold and I, I'm the better swimmer, eh. So, I should be the one to retrieve the material from the challenge." Ezekiel explained as Harold was getting progressively annoyed, before Harold could say anything however, Jasmine interrupted.
"Great idea Ezekiel." Jasmine complimented. "If that's okay with you Harold, you can provide assistance."
Harold's eye twitched at him getting overlooked completely in the challenge but he decided to bite his tongue and be a team player, "Yeah I can help with my mad water skills. We got this!"
"Mad water skills?" Jasmine asked as every one of them headed out to the water and the camera flashed away.
Train Station
Meanwhile at the train station, Team Amazon was still waiting for Ella, Katie, and Sierra to arrive with Courtney wondering "Did the taxi driver let Katie drive herself?"
Luckily in that moment an exhausted Katie and Ella showed up, "We're here. We can get on the train now, right?" Katie asked in exhaustion.
"No, because our resident nut job in Sierra isn't here." Anne Maria explained. "What took you guys so long to get here anyway?"
"We got a bad taxi driver, and I tried to lead us only for us to end up in the train station that goes to the northern most sections of France." Katie explained.
"That's impressive, women am I right?" Chase said to Scott.
"Don't talk to me idiot." Scott said shoving Chase away.
"How is Sierra not here though? Katie and I got so lost." Ella asked. As luck would finally have it, Sierra showed up with twigs in her hair and looked very unkempt as she fell on the floor and then Sierra passed out.
Zoey gasped at the sight as did much of the team, "Oh my gosh is Sierra okay?"
"Cody, why!" Sierra cried out.
Heather however was growing impatient "We don't have time we have a train to get on. Scott and Courtney can you guys pick up Sierra so we don't leave her behind and get a penalty." Heather instructed which Scott and Courtney nodded as both nodded their heads. "Okay people let's go."
"All aboard the Amazon train." Chef called out.
Challenge Site
Back at the challenge area, Team Style arrived at the beach as Blaineley had just finished telling them about the challenge with Alejandro, Eva, Sky, and Owen were going to be entering the water. However, the mention of sharks had Owen extremely nervous. Not helping Owen was the people in the group he didn't feel the best about. He still felt nervous about Eva, he and Alejandro or as he calls him "Al", have never vibed well at all and he had nothing in common with Sky. "Are we sure this is legal?" Owen asked in fear.
"Don't worry sissy, I got this." Eva said defiantly.
However, before Eva entered the water, Blaineley whistled to get the shark groups attention, "Hold up Eva. Everyone has to enter the water and play a role in retrieving the sandcastle materials."
Alejandro groaned in annoyance before getting his composure quickly under control, "Okay we keep it simple. We use Owen as bait. The rest of us are athletic enough to retrieve the material and of the three of us Eva can take on the sharks to defend Owen." Alejandro stated, as Eva rolled her eyes.
Owen, despite his lack of trust in Alejandro, decided to take Alejandro's idea to heart "I'm nervous, but I trust you have my back Al."
In The Water with Team Victory
Team Victory had still maintained a lead and were now beginning to enact their plan. Tyler was floating in the water waiting for the shark to come in fear, before trying to look on the bright side, "Maybe getting scared by a shark will make me more popular with fans." Tyler tried to reason.
At that moment a shark popped up out of the water making Tyler scream, while Ezekiel quickly swam up to the shark, and then retrieved the bucket and shovel, however soon after the shark was chasing Tyler. Ezekiel called out "Jasmine help Tyler out, eh!" as Ezekiel grabbed the material off the shark
Jasmine didn't need to be told twice as she quickly approached the shark, however this quickly escalated into a wrestling match between Jasmine and the shark. "I got this fella." Jasmine yelled out as her and the shark were popping in and out of the water.
Harold swam up to a rather disheveled looking Tyler who was scared, "You okay, Tyler?" Harold asked.
"Just glad I'm not shark food. Should we go back and help Jasmine out?" Tyler asked, looking over to her.
"I think she'll be fine; besides they probably wrestle sharks back in Australia, don't you think?" Harold reasoned.
"Is that all you got?" Jasmine yelled out, off screen.
"See, I told you so. Now let's go meet Ezekiel and maintain this lead of ours." Harold said swimming away as a reluctant Tyler soon followed.
Confessional- Harold
"Before everyone glares at me, I know that didn't look great, but my petty side came out. Jasmine agreeing with Ezekiel about his swimming skills made me get some subtle payback at Jasmine and besides if I would bet on money between Jasmine or the shark, I would pick Jasmine."
In The Water with Team Style
While Team Victory was heading out of the water, Team Style was enacting their plan with Owen floating in the water as a shark was going in circles. "Any chance you guys are dolphins?" Owen asked nervously as he grabbed the sandcastle materials.
"Ugh he is so useless." Alejandro stated while looking in disbelief that Owen said that. "Eva, go distract the shark now!"
"Bring it on, asswipe." Eva yelled out off camera as Sky and Alejandro winced at the sight.
"Safe to say she will be fine right?" Sky asked.
"Oh, definitely let's follow the tub of lard to the beach." Alejandro stated which made Sky frown at Alejandro for stating that insult at Owen, but also confused at Alejandro's pure disdain for Owen.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Eva is kind of batshit insane if you ask me, but her beating up the shark was fun to watch, wish it was Owen though. He is so useless and annoying."
Team Victory Castle Building
For Team Victory, the sandcastle building was beginning as the group of Lindsay, Millie, Damien, and Cameron. Each of them was beginning to feel optimistic about Team Victory winning the challenge.
Lindsay however was confused "What's the Castle of Versus? Is it something fancy?"
Cameron however was quick to correct Lindsay, "It's Versailles, Lindsay. Okay Lindsay should get us the sand for the castle, and someone should join her. How about Millie?"
"Why me? I know how the Castle of Versailles looks." Millie protested.
"Both Damien and I also know what it looks like and out of the three of us. Lindsay probably wants to spend some, what is it called, girl talk?" Cameron asked as Damien nodded his head. "So, Damien and I sculpt it. You and Lindsay get us the supplies and we should be able to keep this lead of ours." Cameron further explained.
As Lindsay and a rather reluctant Millie walked away, Damien decided to talk more with Cameron about the game as both did come together to eliminate DJ so Damien was curious to see if he and Cameron could work further along. "So, Cameron had any interesting game talks lately?" Damien asked.
Cameron however was confused about Damien's approach to him, "Game talk? I mean ever since DJ was voted out. I just wanted to focus on the challenge and not all the scheming if you ask me."
"Oh, that makes sense." Damien said, agreeing with Cameron to his face but his tone of voice said otherwise.
Beginning Challenge For Team Amazon
Team Amazon had luckily finally made it to the challenge area after even another setback "Stupid flat tire," Chef mumbled to himself before realizing he had to explain the challenge to Team Amazon. "Okay, I am going to quickly explain this challenge as I have to ride this train back and get the jet. Four of you are swimming with sharks to get sandcastle materials and those swimming with sharks are Topher, Emma, Heather, and Chase. Building the sandcastle which will be an exact replica of the Castle of Versailles will be Kitty, Mickey, Cody, and Sierra. When that is done a judge will give you guys boat keys and with the GPS Courtney, Gwen, Scott, Katie and Ella will take the boat and themselves to the southernmost tip of Iceland."
"Wait Chef, what about Anne Maria and Zoey?" Topher asked.
"Simple pretty boy, you guys have two extra members, so they are sitting out of the challenge, good? Good. Now I'm out of here." Chef said as he took the train back to Paris to get the jumbo jet.
"Okay people we don't have time; we need to get in position. Let's go!" Heather called out as everyone on Team Amazon was quickly moving around to where they needed to be.
Confessional- Heather
"Team Amazon up until today has been on a roll and I have to step up and get this momentum back for us. But being partnered up with both Chase and Emma may be the perfect opportunity for me to cause some drama, if need be, and cement Emma as an ally by any means necessary."
Sit out Area
Zoey and Anne Maria were waiting by a dock off the beach watching their team start beginning the challenge as both of them watched Topher go out into the water, "Go Team Amazon!" Zoey cheered out.
"Ugh, wish I was in the water with them, especially Topher." Anne Maria stated, looking at him specifically.
"Yeah, he is so hot, oop-" Zoey said quickly covering her mouth before noticing Anne Maria wasn't listening to her really but Zoey still had a feeling Anne Maria knew about her growing feelings towards Topher.
"Yep, I was gonna ask that boy out on a date, no one can resist me." Anne Maria stated confidently.
"Oh, this is awkward, because I was also going to ask him out." Zoey stated, looking away at Anne Maria in embarrassment.
"You know what toots, I'm gonna be the bigger person, and I'll let you have him." Anne Maria told Zoey.
Zoey was initially grateful that Anne Maria would be willing to let her date Topher, "Oh my gosh that is so amazing, after our little argument this morning I didn't think you would-." Zoey began to say before she realized something. "Wait a minute."
"What now, red?" Anne Maria asked annoyed,
"What do you mean, you'll let me have him? As though I don't have a shot with Topher regardless?" Zoey asked, getting more annoyed.
"Yes, of course. I mean you aren't ugly. But I am the total package, I have the hair, the body, and the jersey accent." Anne Maria bragged.
"Okay having a New Jersey accent isn't that much of a brag, and sure those things about you are probably true. But I believe I have just as good of a chance with Topher as you do." Zoey said, defending herself meekly.
"Go right ahead. I know he'll see me as the better girlfriend so bring it on!" Anne Maria taunted as she walked away heading to the helicopter that was meant to take them to Iceland. But Anne Maria also didn't want to be anywhere near Zoey, a feeling that was very mutual.
Confessional- Zoey
"You know, I was never crazy about Anne Maria. Just something about her rubbed me the wrong way, she acts all high and mighty. When in reality she is not a nice person at all. I do want to ask Topher out and just finally have this one thing, I've struggled with friends, and I have always been bested when it comes to getting a boyfriend. I just want this one time for me to come out on top."
Confessional- Anne Maria
"It's funny that Zoey thinks she has a chance against me, I know Topher will ultimately ask me out. I am the icon, and Zoey would never last a day in my world. I'm Beyonce and Zoey is a measly backup singer. She has no chance."
In The Water with Team Amazon/Musical Number
Topher, Chase, Emma, and Heather were swimming out to the sharks with the former two in front while Heather and especially Emma brought up the rear. "Heather, when should I tell Chase it's over between us?"
"Ugh, I don't know." Heather said angrily as the song bell dinged "Oh you have got to be kidding me. Anything but that. I figured they forgot about that."
A light breezy sound began as Chase began singing, "It's a beautiful day on the beach and if it were up to me, I would get a tan"
Emma chimed in "I have to make up my mind and it's time, I am done with a certain fool hearted man."
Chase turned his head around as the sound of a record player scratched as he said "What?"
(Song in tune with "Lesson in Leavin'" by Jo Dee Messina)
Heather picked the song back up pointing towards an angry Emma, "She is gonna give you a lesson and leave and give you back what you are deserving, and I hope that I'm around to watch Emma knock you down."
Emma sang next, "It's like you to love me and leave me, and it's like you to do that sort of thing, over and over again. You're a fool hearted man."
Chase was trying to defend himself "You girls got it all wrong,"
Emma however was not convinced "I know you want me back, but I am not going through that again, because you are the kind of man, I thought I could change, but the only thing changing is my way of thinking and I'm thinking that maybe someday."
Heather and Emma sang the next part together, "Somebody's gonna give you a lesson and lose, and someone is gonna do what you did to her/me. I hope that we're around to watch them knock you down, boy there's no doubt. You're a fool hearted man."
Topher sang next, unaware of the tension between the three of them, "He's the kind of man Emma thought she could change. But the thing changing is her way of thinking, and I hope that I am never a fool hearted man, and I hope for Chase someday."
Emma sang the final part to a close, "Somebody's gonna give him a lesson and leave, and I hope I can see them knock you down, because it's like you to love them and leave them like you loved me, let me down, and left me, over and over again. You're a fool hearted man."
Chase had been embarrassed during the whole song performance and backed right into a shark, "Aah!" Chase yelled in terror as the song faded out. Topher winced at the sight of Chase getting mauled while Emma and Heather both looked satisfied.
Confessional- Emma
"Oh my gosh, that was so liberating. I needed to sing that so that Chase realized how I feel, and maybe he'll realize we're done, also once the shark is done mauling him."
Team Style Sand Castle Building
Owen, Alejandro, and Sky had made their way back to the water with the latter two looking fine while Owen was exhausted. The sandcastle group was Bowie, Jen, Trent, and Noah with Noah asking what was on everyone's mind, "Where's Eva?"
Sky decided to explain, "She and the shark are fighting."
"Oh my gosh. We should help her." Jen said, however Noah stood in front of her before Jen could reach the water.
"Don't worry about Eva, she can handle that shark strong enough on her own, that shark should be scared of her." Noah reasoned. At that moment offscreen you could hear a shark absolutely scream in pain "My point proven."
"Okay that's enough shark murder if you ask me." Bowie said, cringing at the sight he saw from afar as Alejandro, Sky, and Owen ran to Chris' helicopter while the sandcastle builders began working, with Bowie asking, "Do any of you guys know what this castle looks like?"
Noah quickly spoke up, "I know what it looks like and it's a nice-looking building."
Trent was the next person to speak up, "Do we have to build a life size replica of it."
"Do you really think Chris is sadistic enough to make all of us build 3 life size sandcastles? We should just make it big enough. Since I know how it looks, I'll help sculpt it and between Bowie and Trent, Bowie is more athletic so he should help me with the castle." Noah explained.
While Bowie and Noah were getting ready to build a sandcastle Trent and Jen started gathering sand with Trent shoveling while looking wistfully at the sand, "Ugh, I hope I can get redemption." Trent said.
Jen raised her eyebrows looking at Trent in confusion. "Redemption? What are you talking about?" Jen asked.
Trent stood up in confusion, "I assume you didn't watch the first season?" Trent asked.
"No. I have been so focused on my fashion blog for the last year. I don't watch a ton of reality shows." Jen explained.
"Well last season, heading into it I was dating Gwen, the goth on Team Amazon." Trent began to say.
"Really, you and her? You guys seem like such an odd couple." Jen said.
"We were, I guess. Anyways, at this beach challenge about a week into the season. I start obsessing over the number 9, which I'll tell you the significance of at a later date. But Duncan misinterpreted my obsession with that number due to my name having 5 letters and Gwen's having 4. Which I to this day don't know if Duncan genuinely believed that or if he was trying to break Gwen and I up. But I let my paranoia about the number 9 and Duncan possibly trying to break Gwen and I up get to me. I felt so insecure about my relationship with Gwen that I decided to start throwing challenges for Gwen as we were on separate teams. Gwen broke up with me soon after within the week." Trent explained looking out at the water.
"Oh my gosh, I'm sorry you went through that." Jen said, offering her sympathies.
"It's weird though, I've had a year to reflect on it, and I think Gwen was right to break up with me. I have moved on and looking back, I know deep down it was my fault. But I just hope she's happy as she wasn't happy with me." Trent was saying but the camera panned to Jen who wasn't looking completely convinced of everything Trent was saying.
Team Victory Sand Castle Building
Millie, Cameron, Lindsay, and Damien were looking at the sandcastle "Are we sure the judge will like this?" Millie asked.
"If not, I don't know what more we can do." Damien stated. "Where is that man?" Damien asked, looking around as a small blonde person walked up to them. "This little guy can't be it, right?" The judge in anger threw the boat keys on the ground in anger.
"Maybe next time Damien, don't comment on someone's height," Cameron reasoned, "On the bright side all of our smarts together helped us out."
"Right, Carmen. I am so glad we built this great sand cattle." Lindsay said while Millie giggled at Lindsay missing Cameron's name.
"Lindsay, it's a sand castle not cattle." Cameron told Lindsay, ignoring that Lindsay also forgot his name.
"I could've sworn I said castle." Lindsay told her teammates in embarrassment.
Confessional- Millie
(Shown writing in journal) "I swear Lindsay is downright fascinating with how often she forgets names or mixes stuff up. At times I wonder if she's a secret mastermind who is playing dumb."
Team Amazon In The Water
Chase was still nowhere to be seen after he was mauled by the shark when the musical number ended, but Topher managed to swim towards one of the sharks and snatched the sandcastle building material, "I got it ladies. I'm bringing it back alive." Topher cheered out as he was lifted, in the air as Emma and Heather looked on in worry "I'm on top of the shark, aren't I?" Topher asked, which both Emma and Heather nodded at before noticing that Chase was passed out in the mouth of the shark. "Heaven help me!"
"Well, we found the shark at least." Emma said in worry. Before anyone could say anything more the shark took off with Chase still in the mouth and now Topher riding the shark for dear life. Emma put her hands in her face in exhaustion, "This is bad. We should probably help Topher, and I guess Chase."
"Ugh. Helping people isn't my M.O but we should probably prevent Topher and Chase from becoming shark food." Heather said as her and Emma took off for the shark.
Team Style Castle Building
Back over at Team Style, the sandcastle building was going pretty well so far as Trent and Jen kept a solid pace with the shovel and pail, while under Noah's guidance Bowie was doing a solid job with the building of the castle. "Not going to lie, it's nice to do a challenge that won't stand a chance to kill us." Bowie quipped.
"That's for the shark swimmers and boat drivers." Noah remarked before looking over to Trent and Jen, "Do you think those two will be a couple?" Noah asked coyly.
"I certainly think so, but Justin says otherwise." Bowie stated, "He thinks he is an absolute expert on Trent and how he will never fall in love on television again. I swear, he acts like he absolutely knows it all." Bowie said in annoyance as he went back to sculpting the castle.
"How ironic." Noah said to himself.
Confessional- Noah
"I swear this group of 4 they had for the sandcastle was such a random assortment of people. You have me, Trent and Jen who were too busy 'talking' and Bowie who is someone I have nothing in common with and who is aligned with Justin, one of the teammates I can't stand."
Team Victory's Speedboat
Over at Team Victory they had just entered their speed boat and began to take off with Geoff and Brody driving the boat, however Shawn noticed the engine was faulty, "Hey guys maybe we should go a little-" Shawn began to say until he was interrupted.
"Faster, faster, faster! Never say die!" Brody and Geoff cheered out with Shawn slightly glaring at the scene for being ignored as Leshawna and Bridgette were egging Brody and Geoff on leaving Shawn further annoyed.
Confessional- Shawn
"This just annoys me. No one on this team ever listens to me, DJ was the only one who heard me out and was my friend. It's so frustrating."
Team Amazon Beachside
Back with Team Amazon, an absolutely exhausted Topher and Emma got out of the water, along with an unconscious Chase and a very annoyed Heather following suit. Topher however was still freaked out about riding a shark for so long. "We made it, thank goodness." Emma stated in exhaustion.
"How bad is my hair?" Topher asked as Heather gave him a thumbs up so he wouldn't freak out.
The sandcastle group of Cody, Mickey, and Kitty winced at the sight. "I'm pretty sure Chase needs to see a doctor." Kitty stated.
"Well, no shit." Heather said impatiently as Emma and Topher despite their freaked-out state began taking Chase to the doctor. Before Heather left however, she quickly pulled Cody aside and whispered "If we lose, I am still down to get rid of Sierra." Heather whispered as Cody gave her a thumbs up.
Unfortunately, at that exact moment Team Style completed their sandcastle, "Awesome." Trent cheered off screen. "We have a lead, let's not lose it to Team Amazon."
Mickey soon gulped in fear, "This is bad. We are so far behind. Cody and I are also two of the weakest ones here physically. Oh man, we are doomed." Mickey said fretting before his breathing started getting uneven and he was hyperventilating. "We're doomed!"
Kitty decided to try and take some form of leadership. "Mickey calm down, we just have to make the castle small. Cut corners, and maybe we can make up time but we need all four of us together. Wait, 1, 2, where the heck is Sierra?" Kitty called out in annoyance,
"She has been kind of moody all day today and doesn't want to do the challenge." Cody stated. "Also, since you guys are here, she can't be near me, so she decided to mope."
"You've got to be kidding me." Kitty stated in annoyance before having a thinking look on her face. "Look, can you guys get the sand and start building the castle? I'll try and motivate Sierra to make her feel better, if she doesn't yell at me. Oh, but really quick." Kitty stated, grabbing her phone and taking a selfie with all 3 of them with Mickey completely surprised and Cody looking confused with a slight blush on his face.
Team Victory's Speedboat
Team Victory was going at a great pace until the engine's top blew open "Oh come on. Now what?!" Geoff yelled out in anger.
"How the hell could this have happened?" Leshawna asked in anger.
"Guys, I saw the engine was faulty and tried to say something." Shawn responded back.
"Why didn't you say something?" Leshawna asked, getting angrier.
"I tried to, but you guys kept celebrating and ignoring me every time I tried to say something." Shawn defended themselves.
Unfortunately, Shawn's defense only further annoyed Leshawna. "You are not going to blame me for this, and I am not going to take the fall for this." Leshawna argued back as her and Shawn's tension was getting worse. At the same time Brody was backing up from the potential confrontation and accidentally grabbed an exposed wire that jolted the boat forward. "Woah. What was that?" Leshawna yelled out.
"Ow!" Brody yelled out.
Bridgette was also confused, "What could have made the boat jolt like that?"
Geoff was the only one who noticed what Brody did "Brody dude, dude do that again."
"Do what again, woah?!" Bridgette exclaimed as Brody grabbed one of the wires that once again made the boat spring forward as Bridgette fell to the ground. "Wait, maybe we shouldn't borderline electrocute one of our team members to get the win."
Shawn, who was still wanting his voice to be heard had no issue with it, "Does anyone else have any other ideas. If not, I am going to gladly help Brody with the wires, so he isn't completely fried to a crisp." Shawn argued back as he grabbed one of the wires.
"I guess this'll do. Hold on to the boat for dear life Bridgette and Geoff, boys have at it." Leshawna ordered as Bridgette watched on in concern while Geoff was happy to have the boat moving again.
Team Style's Speedboat
In Team Style's speedboat they were still miles behind Team Victory, but due to Duncan driving the boat they were quickly making up ground as Duncan yelled out "This is my kind of challenge!"
The other passengers were Brick, Jo, Justin, and Julia. Julia didn't mind how fast Duncan was driving the boat, while Jo just wanted to lay low and not ruffle any feathers with the team despite that not being her style. Brick however decided to speak up "Soldier, ease back. Drive responsibly."
Duncan however, rolled his eyes and scoffed at that, "There's no fun in doing that."
Justin however was completely fed up with Duncan's driving "That's it. Give me the wheel, Duncan. Give me the wheel, we are off course and the GPS is malfunctioning"
"No, stop worrying, pretty boy. We're still on course and the GPS is fine." Duncan protested.
"We aren't on course men, so let me take the boat and drive!" Brick yelled out. Unfortunately, this just led to all 3 of Justin, Brick, and Duncan to fight over the wheel. Julia was shown smirking at the commotion while Jo was shown glaring at Jo.
Confessional- Jo
"I truly can't stand Julia. She likes to pretend that she is some innocent little ditz, but I know deep down she's a liar, snake and traitor. I would love to send her home as soon as possible, but I can't. I'm still just fighting to stay alive but mark my words Julia will go home eventually. I will make sure of it."
Confessional- Julia
"You know, I could have stopped the three of the guys from fighting and ripping each other's heads off, but I enjoyed the chaos. Also made better by Jo being miserable during the whole thing."
Team Amazon Castle Building
Over at Team Amazon, they were starting to build their sandcastle or at least they were trying to specifically Cody and Mickey were trying to as Kitty was trying to convince Sierra to help out for the challenge. Unfortunately, having only Cody and Mickey doing the physical work of getting the sand in the bucket and delivering it to the designated building spot was proving to cost even more time.
Mickey, who was wheezing, said in exhaustion, "This is the hardest thing I've done this season so far."
Cody was not faring much better as he was also getting exhausted, "This challenge is such a disaster and of course we have the two physically weakest guys doing the most physical part of the challenge."
"Maybe we'll both end up super jacked after this?" Mickey joked with a meek tone.
Cody joined in on the joke, "Sure and then I'll be able to attract the ladies."
Mickey slightly winced at what Cody was saying, "I've actually never really felt an attraction. Whether it be ladies or guys. That stuff doesn't cross my mind." Mickey explained.
"Wait, you've never ever been in a relationship or tempted to be in one?" Cody asked, shocked.
"No, I haven't. Pretty girls or handsome guys don't talk to me or my twin brother that much unless it's our mother comforting us or a medical emergency with the doctors. Which also happens entirely too often." Mickey further explained. "It's why I never put a lot of thought or effort into anything romantic in my life. I have always had a lot bigger worries before I could think about that so falling in love and all that stuff never comes to mind."
"I mean, now you have this competition, and you have both me and Kitty as friends which is great. Speaking of Kitty, I hope she has gotten Sierra's head on straight." Cody said, watching Kitty and Sierra wistfully.
Unfortunately for Kitty and Sierra, it was not going well. "Lalalalala I can't hear you." Sierra said with her fingers in her ears.
Kitty was at her wits end "Come on Sierra help us with the challenge. It's ridiculous that you're acting like this."
Sierra stood up in anger at that notion, "Ridiculous? No, what's ridiculous is that I have never spent any time with Cody like I wanted to this season. It's not fair."
"Don't you think there'll be a challenge where both of you spend time together." Kitty reassured, as she was mainly trying to calm down Sierra.
"Not as long as you and Mickey spend so much time with him. I'm jealous that Cody is more interested in both you and Mickey more than me." Sierra said angrily.
"All of us are just really good friends, nothing more. I know neither of them look at me that way and it's all friendship. Besides, it's not your decision on whether Cody is interested in you." Kitty explained.
"Well if you and Mickey would stop spending so much time with Cody, then maybe I would know if he and I would hit it off, but you guys can't help but spend all your time with my Cody." Sierra said angrily.
"He's not yours. He is his own person." Kitty argued back.
"But I know everything there is about Cody and I don't want you and especially Mickey getting in the way." Sierra said angrily walking off.
Confessional- Kitty
"To say that Sierra is frustrating is an understatement. She is so annoying and for her to imply there is more beyond friendship with Cody, Mickey, and I? She's crazy. I have a great love radar, and I know both of them don't feel that way towards me."
Team Victory's Speedboat
Over at Team Victory's speed boat, they kept at a solid pace despite both Shawn and Brody having to shock themselves with the electric wires. "There's the finish line! How are Brody and Shawn doing?" Bridgette asked.
"Girl, they are getting fried, and I don't think we can have them do this again." Leshawna observed.
Geoff, looking very uneasy and with a sense of dread, knew what he had to do. "Let me grab it this one time. Hang on everyone!" Geoff called out as he held onto the electrical wire to give him and his teammates one last huge boost to the finish line.
With Chris waiting, Leshawna and Bridgette got out of the boat and helped each of the guys off the boat, with Brody and Shawn looking particularly bad while Geoff had a burnt hand. "Congratulations to Team Victory, from last place to first. You all dominated the challenge and never let go of that lead. Awesome!" Chris announced as Leshawna and Bridgette gave each other a celebratory hug while Geoff gave both Shawn and Brody pats on the back to celebrate before getting shocked himself.
"Oh right, yo Chris dude. Can we get Brody and Shawn to a medic? They don't look great at all. Oh, and I need to go to the burn doctor for my hand." Geoff asked.
Chris rolled his eyes before sighing and saying "Fine. But you guys will have some company."
"Who else got injured?" Bridgette asked.
Team Style's Speedboat
Back over at Team Style and their speedboat Justin, Brick, and Duncan were constantly fighting over who was getting the wheel. As Jo watched on annoyed while Julia was filing her nails. Unfortunately for everyone in the boat Brick used a bit too much brute force and accidentally ripped the steering wheel off the boat "Oopsie. That can't be good." Brick said in fear.
Sure, enough the boat started completely spinning in circles making everyone on the boat dizzy and nauseous.
Confessional- Julia
"I didn't really care that Brick, Duncan, and Justin were fighting over the wheel. But Brick was a total idiot and broke the wheel which having the boat break down pissed me off. Honestly, I could send any 3 of them home once Jo is gone and I wouldn't care. They are all so annoying."
Back To Scene
Back on the boat, everyone on Team Style was still screaming and nervous on the boat with it spinning out of control. Luckily for them it landed right on the dock where the rest of Team Style that wasn't on the boat and Chris were waiting for them. "Congrats to Team Style. Epic finish, but while you guys don't get to experience first class none of you are going home."
Justin however had a look of pure dizziness and nausea on his face. "That's great Chris." Justin said sarcastically. "Is there a doctor around or something? I am still way too dizzy."
Chris rolled his eyes again as he felt like it was Deja vu. "Down the pier we should have medical treatment. I seriously didn't think this challenge would require so much medical attention especially because I didn't even approve of it preseason."
Team Amazon Castle Building
Back with Team Amazon, Cody and Mickey had luckily finally put the finishing touches on their castle as Kitty was still trying to get Sierra to help with the challenge. "Finally, we're done." Mickey said, exhausted as he fell to the ground. "At least the evening sky is nice tonight."
"Definitely." Cody stated, looking at the red evening sky. "Let's go get the clue. Maybe one of the teams got lost on the way to Iceland." Cody reasoned. Unfortunately, at that moment, Chris landed on the beach with his helicopter as Cody sighed at the sight. "That can't be good."
"Not at all." Mickey said, also sighing as Kitty and Sierra walked up to the scene, as did Courtney, Gwen, Scott, Katie, and Ella, the people who were meant to drive the speedboat.
"Yeah, you guys sucked today." Chris bragged which made many of them roll their eyes. "Team Style finished over an hour ago."
"So, are we just going to have elimination here then?" Kitty asked.
"It's still happening in the jumbo jet as everyone is back in Iceland, so here's the keys to your speedboat. Now for the boat crew of Gwen, Courtney, Katie, Ella, and Scott all of you guys are immune tonight since you didn't actually compete in the challenge, so I guess congratulations. Elimination is in a few hours. Good luck." Chris announced.
Confessional- Courtney
"It's only fair that I stay safe since I didn't compete. But that is the only thing I have to be happy with today, all the momentum Team Amazon had, is now down the toilet. I swear whenever we lose, we lose in embarrassing style."
Confessional- Katie
"I'm just thankful to be immune tonight. I have to think Ella, or I would be potentially talked about from elimination since we were slow to the train station. But I'm thankful to be safe tonight and I am glad Ella is safe as well."
Team Amazon's Speedboat
For Team Amazon the mood was very tense and somber as Gwen was driving the boat. All that was on Gwen's mind was how they could lose this challenge and lose it so embarrassingly as well. Gwen was also wondering who to even vote for, Heather was still a huge pain in the ass for her, Sierra annoyed her and cost the team a lot of time, and Chase was mauled by a shark and could be a liability.
Near Gwen were two of her closest allies in Scott and Courtney who were talking, "Feels great to be immune tonight." Scott bragged.
"Have you thought of who to eliminate tonight?" Courtney asked. "I still think Heather would be perfect to eliminate."
Scott however winced at that, "Heather's an option but we should talk it out. Keep in mind Sierra cost the team valuable time and Chase got mauled by a shark."
"I get it Scott, but I'm nervous the more we let Heather skate by, the more dangerous she'll be. Not to mention she let Chase get mauled by a shark" Courtney explained as she and Scott discussed what happened to Chase.
At another part of the boat was Mickey whose face was looking sick and rather green, "Today is not my day at all." Mickey lamented before throwing up again.
Cody and Kitty were comforting Mickey, "It's okay buddy. We're almost to Iceland." Cody said, comforting Mickey, "And he's passed out now from exhaustion. Ugh, I hope he feels better."
"Same here, but best to let him rest. I just want to say it's genuinely sweet how much you care for him." Kitty remarked which made Cody look embarrassed.
"Yeah, Mickey is like the brother I never had growing up." Cody stated.
"What, were you an only child growing up?" Kitty asked.
"Yep, never had any brothers or sisters growing up. It was just me, my mom, and my father. Do you have any siblings?" Cody asked back.
"Just one. My older sister Emma." Kitty said, which made Cody's ears perk up as Kitty continued on, "She just got out of a romantic relationship, and we aren't as close as I would like us to be." Kitty further said.
Confessional- Cody
"Maybe I'm going to sound crazy. Truly I think I may sound like Izzy, but Kitty has a sister named Emma who was just getting out of a bad relationship. I have a theory about her and Emma, that we are competing with are secretly sisters despite not looking alike as well. Kitty told me her sister is closed off, pretty athletic, and in a past relationship all things that describe Emma. Maybe I'm sounding like Sierra (shudders), but it would be like Chris to have a secret sister twist."
Economy Class
The rest of Team Amazon had made it to the jumbo jet that was docked off the coast of Iceland with Team Amazon still having a couple of hours before elimination. Within the plane was Scott and Heather who were talking on one of the benches "Okay, thank goodness we got back in time. Now we can discuss who to eliminate." Scott bragged.
"That's great." Heather said sarcastically.
"Okay, Courtney told me you let Chase get mauled by a shark. Is that true?" Scott asked.
"Of course. Emma deserves better than his childish ass. Besides I wanted to rope her in as an ally and us getting rid of her horrible ex-boyfriend is the perfect way to do that, I mean do you think she deserves Chase?" Heather asked back in annoyance as Scott was shown thinking intensely.
"I was just thinking. No, she doesn't deserve him, so I assume we are both voting Chase out?"
"About that, you're voting Chase out and he's hopefully leaving. I got to vote Sierra out tonight." Heather explained.
"Wait, run that by me again?" Scott asked, looking in pure confusion at what Heather just said.
"I promised Cody and his little crew of Mickey and Kitty before the New York challenge, that I would vote Sierra out and this would earn their loyalty moving forward." Heather further said.
"Why can't they just vote out Chase with us and Emma?" Scott asked.
"Do you really think those 3 are going to pass the opportunity to vote Sierra out? They all can't stand her, but Sierra is a good scapegoat to have. Just get the votes to send Chase out and this will all go perfect for us." Heather confidently said.
"I never agreed with this, and I can just as quickly turn this around on you Heather. Gwen and Courtney are waiting to send you home and what's stopping them from sending you home? Oh right, it's me." Scott said in growing anger.
"You and I both know that if you send me home, both our games are done." Heather noted, which Scott knew deep down was true.
"Fine, I'll get the votes to send Chase home, but next time we lose, I decide who gets sent home. Deal?" Scott asked which Heather nodded too, "Okay, let me get to work."
Confessional- Heather
"I am taking a huge risk trying to bring Emma as an ally, but now Scott is willing to threaten me with elimination, are you kidding me? What a weasel. All I can do is hope that this doesn't blow up in my face. I need to build an army to take out Gwen and Courtney down the road, but Scott can't figure that out."
Confessional- Scott
"It's funny, I am in complete control of this team. I could send Heather out as all I need to do is say it's time to get rid of Heather, and both Courtney and Gwen will pounce on that. But Heather lays her whole game out for me, so she has to be most loyal to me. I can't let her gain too much power though. I could send Sierra home, Chase could go home, or I could blow this whole team up and send Heather home. Nothing is set in stone, but I love being in power. It's not a feeling I'm used to."
Plane Entrance
Zoey and Anne Maria were both sitting by the entrance to the jumbo jet as both glared at each other, the tension was soon broken up when both heard a knocking on the door and Chase's voice, "Hey can someone get the door for me?" Chase called out as Zoey opened the door as Chase was shown with a mangled face, a black eye, and a broken arm.
"Oh my gosh, I heard the shark attack was bad but that is just ugly." Anne Maria said, getting a harsher glare from Zoey.
"Are you okay Chase?" Zoey asked in concern.
"I'll be fine in a week at the latest. Just can't give my all in challenges. I'm just going to assume we lost the challenge?" Chase asked which Zoey nodded too. "That sucks. I hope you ladies keep me around, I wish I could see Emma, but I imagine she doesn't want to see me right now. I'm going to go take a nap." Chase said, walking slowly away.
With Zoey and Anne Maria once again alone in the same room, Zoey decided to break the tension "We need to talk as things are difficult between us."
"Okay, Red, stop making it sound like we're the ones in the relationship." Anne Maria said in pure disgust.
"Sorry. My point is, we both like Topher but the more we fight over him, the more it hurts all of us in the game. That's why for the sake of Topher and our alliance both of us should wait until after the game to pursue something with Topher. For all we know he likes me, you, or neither of us. But let's just not ask him out until after the show." Zoey explained.
"Ugh, I don't want to admit it but you're probably right. I'll call a truce with you but make no mistake I still hate you." Anne Maria stated.
"Same here." Zoey said honestly. At that moment Topher walked up to them unaware that both of them were just talking about them.
"Hey Zoey, Anne Maria. Finally found you ladies. Elimination starts in like 20 minutes. Do you guys have any ideas?" Topher asked.
"No, we were just talking about girl stuff, makeup, jewelry. All that stuff." Zoey quickly said.
Luckily for her Topher bought it, "Well Scott came up to me and offered a deal for all of us, but I want to make sure it's okay with you both." Topher told both Zoey and Anne Maria as the camera flashed away to a confessional with Zoey.
Confessional- Zoey
"I really hope I can trust Anne Maria with this truce. But my trust with her is at a very low level. Microscopic levels of trust. Here's hoping she doesn't screw me over."
Elimination Ceremony
Blaineley was with all 15 members of Team Amazon with many small groups sitting together, as everyone looked exhausted. "Team Amazon after 3 straight first place finishes, all of you are back in the elimination ceremony for the second time. So, I'll give you a quick refresher, in the confessional booth there are 15 passports with everyone's faces, stamp whoever you want out but if you stamp multiple passports your vote is invalid. Cody, you're up first."
Confessional- Cody
"Second time's the charm, for my sake, Mickey's sake, and Kitty's I hope you go home tonight, Sierra."
Confessional- Heather
"This is a means to an end, so I can control the team. Sorry, Sierra. I really hope Scott pulls through tonight."
Confessional- Emma
"Genuinely can't wait to see you leave. I would stamp this passport more Chase, but I don't want to be reminded of your stupid face."
Confessional- Chase
"I hope you go home tonight, Heather. You're my best chance of staying tonight."
Confessional- Scott
"Tonight is a huge risk, but in my gut, you leaving makes the most sense as you won't help my game anymore."
Confessional- Anne Maria
"As tempting as it would be to send Zoey out. That's a loss cause. So, I'll listen to what Topher has to say and vote for-"
Back To The Elimination Ceremony
Blaineley was busy analyzing the votes, "Hmm, interesting. Never figured they would get a vote. Okay passengers. First of all, safe with no votes and immunity are the following Gwen, Anne Maria, Katie, Zoey, Ella, Courtney, and Scott. All of you are immune. Here are your marshmallows."
"Thank you Ms. Blaineley," Ella politely said.
Blaineley however ignored Ella and continued with the ceremony, "Safe with no votes and no immunity tonight are Emma, Cody, Kitty, and Topher." Blaineley announced.
"I got votes?" Mickey asked in astonishment as his heart rate started rising.
"Yep, you did Mickey, but it was only 1 vote so here is your marshmallow." Blaineley announced as Mickey quickly sighed a sigh of relief with Cody giving him a gentle pat on the back, while Sierra snapped her fingers in anger that her attempt to get rid of Mickey instead of Kitty this time backfired on her and she was the only vote and that once again she was at the bottom.
"This can't be happening." Sierra said in annoyance and fear she got multiple votes, again.
"It is Sierra. You along with Heather, and Chase all received multiple votes. Please step forward." Blaineley announced with all of them stepping forward off the bleachers. "Heather this is your first time in the bottom this season. You're down here because you are a threat, not well liked and also slowed the team down with the shark attack on Chase."
"Hey, I give it my all in challenges." Heather defended herself.
"Moving on to Chase. You were the recipient of a brutal shark attack today and this is your second time down here. Do you think the team will see you as a liability?" Blaineley asked.
"I don't think they will as I'm a quick healer, and it was more of these two that cost us the challenge. Not me." Chase said in defense of himself.
"Finally, we move on to Sierra. This is your second time in the bottom tonight, you're down here due to how annoying your teammates find you and the fact you walked to the train station putting your team on the back end of the challenge from the jump." Blaineley explained to Sierra,
"Let's just get this over with." Sierra said as she seemed like she was accepting of her defeat in a way.
"Alright kill all the joy. The vote was 7 votes to 4 to 3. Safe with 3 votes tonight is… Heather!"
"Yes!" Heather cheered out, running straight back to the bleachers.
"The final marshmallow of the night goes too…."
…
…
…
…
…
…
….. Sierra." Blaineley announced.
"Oh my gosh, thank you. Thank you!" Sierra cried out in relief.
"With that Chase, you have been officially eliminated from, Total Drama World Race. Any final words?" Blaineley asked.
Chase gave a huge sigh, "Not much. Emma, I'm sorry for all the emotional damage I put you through with how I ignored how badly you wanted out and for not being a better boyfriend. I just hope you find somebody who loves you as much as I did for you. Good luck Emma." Chase said jumping just a little way off the ground since the jet was docked and he would soon be picked up by producers.
"I hope I don't regret this." Both Emma and Scott said at the same time.
"Team Amazon you guys are down to 14, which is still better than both of the other teams being down to 13 so you still have a one player advantage. But time will tell if today's loss was a fluke or if you guys are on a downward spiral challenge wise. Good night." Blaineley announced as the camera cut away to the confessional cam.
Confessional- Courtney
"I really wanted to get rid of Heather. I really did and knowing that 3 other people who weren't me voted her off? Ugh, that is so frustrating. Gwen and I could have at least tied the vote. But Scott told me that keeping Chase is dead weight even if he heals quickly as it's not a guarantee he sits out in the challenge. Please don't have me regret this decision."
Confessional- Topher
"Getting rid of Chase was a mercy act due to the shark attack. I don't think I'll regret this, but I just don't want this to backfire on me, or Zoey, or Anne Maria."
Confessional- Scott
"I decided to eliminate Chase for many reasons, one he was mauled by a shark. Two he and I never spoke that much at all, so he was never going to further my game at all, 3 it kept Heather happy for now. But if Heather is willing to build an army with Emma, and the 3 idiots of Kitty, Mickey, and Cody then I am not a close ally to her. I need my own loyal allies. Hence why Topher, Zoey, and Anne Maria voted Chase out with a deal to protect each other which I will abide by and more importantly Heather will never know this deal, but maybe she'll find out when she's eliminated sooner than later."
Confessional- Heather
"This vote was a huge risk but somehow I got everything I wanted tonight, Chase is out, Emma is probably keen on working with me, I potentially have Cody and his two little friends following me since they think I voted with them. I am so close to running this team but there is more work to be done, and this time I don't think I need country boy Scott to help me out."
Right Outside The Plane
Chris and Blaineley were standing just outside the jet with the sky now being dark out. "We are down to the Top 40 folks!" Chris announced.
"What will happen next time with a power struggle emerging between Scott and Heather. Can Jo get her way out of the bottom of Team Style, how will Emma play the game now that Chase has been eliminated and finally who will take the plunge as we stay in Iceland.
Both announced at the same time, "Find out next time on Total Drama World Race!"
Notes:
Wow! Over 15,000 words for this chapter. Definitely another big chapter. Hope everyone reading it enjoys it, however.
So for this Ridonculous Race episode and turning it into a World Tour challenge, I simply made it a race with each of the teams from the Louvre to Iceland. Also, instead of a travel tip on the fin of the shark I decided to have it be sandcastle building materials to keep it simpler. Oh, and the musical number was inspired by one of my favorite songs growing up.
This was a chapter I also wanted to move some plots forward mainly from Team Amazon, (Scott and Heather's dynamic, Heather's insecurities from last season, the Kitty/Mickey/Cody/Sierra dynamic, love triangle of Topher, Anne Maria, and Zoey, Katie and Ella's friendship) and bring one of those plots to an end (Emma and Chase's relationship).
Now on that note. Time to talk about Chase as he is our latest boot. The main thing he has in the revival was his dynamic with Emma and I liked the idea of having a bickering broken up couple this season. But I knew that it would get old quickly, and looking for plots beyond that with Chase was really difficult, so I decided it was best to have him eliminated early but to also have him realize the error in his ways at the end. I have come around to liking Chase a little bit more as the dude is just a complete doofus in the first season of the revival. Hope his portrayal wasn't too bad for his fans.
Next chapter is all about choices in Iceland. Some people make a choice for the better. Some for the worse, and another player is eliminated in an elimination some may not see coming.
Until then this is TDFan1998 signing off. If you are reading this, please, leave a review, feedback, anything is appreciated to make this story even better. Thank you so much to everyone who has read this so far.
Chapter 10: Bjorken Telephone
Summary:
The Final 40 spend the day in Iceland, each with the option of what challenge they want to do, between repeating an Icelandic phrase through a geyser field, ice picking for fossils or eating an Icelandic feast. A contestant shares a conspiracy with one of their closest allies, while one person's patience with another player has reached its limit. Also, a new duo emerges on one of the teams, and an elimination leaves some blindsided, and a team with an uncertain future, with someone vowing revenge.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Bjorken Telephone
Recap
The episode begins with Chris and Blaineley but this time they are outside the plane, "Last time on Total Drama World Race, some of our contestants got familiar with sharks in the Mediterranean, some more than others. Once the three teams were done making a sandcastle it was a boat race to the finish, which only two teams took part in said race."
"That's right Chris. Now for our first place Team Victory, they actually scored a victory with a near flawless run during the challenge with the only hiccup being Brody and Shawn grabbing the electric wires in their faulty boat engine to get them a first place finish, yikes. With Shawn feeling like he isn't being heard on his team." Blaineley explained.
"As for Team Style, Brick was trying to clear Jo's name with Alejandro, who was not willing to listen. Owen was growing more afraid of Eva, despite Noah trying to keep his two closest allies in line, while for Trent he opened up to Jen about how his relationship with Gwen fell apart. Duncan, Justin, and Brick fought for control of the boat and managed a crash landing in Iceland, but they still took second place." Chris explained.
"Nope, the disaster team was Team Amazon yesterday. They quickly fell behind when Sierra walked slowly to the train station before the challenge, not to mention Ella and Katie got hopelessly lost as well. Things didn't fare much better when Heather and Emma left Chase for shark food after a brutal musical number burying him, and Sierra refused to help build the sand castle leaving Mickey and Cody to do all the work." Blaineley further explained,
"At elimination Chase, Sierra, and Heather were all in danger. But it was Chase who got the boot after his shark mauling. But after elimination Heather and Scott's alliance was falling apart due to Heather picking up more allies while Scott vowed to eliminate Heather soon." Chris excitedly said. "We are entering the Top 40, who will choke at the game today, won't be either of us. Ready? Good. Because it's time for Total Drama World Race!"

(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
The episode starts in First Class showing Emma, Heather, Courtney, and Scott all sitting on one side of the room. Heather was looking annoyed in particular "Ugh, economy class? This is so revolting." Heather protested, before a mouse scurried up to her. "Ew disgusting, I'm going to the bathroom!" Heather yelled out in protest.
Courtney giggled a little at the sight of her rival being miserable but quickly got her composure back, "You see that little outburst, Scott? Heather is a negative person on this team, and she has to go next time we lose. But I know you won't listen to me." Courtney lamented.
"I agree." Scott stated nonchalantly.
Courtney gasped at what she had heard, "Yep per usual you want her to-. Wait, where was this attitude last night when we sent Chase home?"
"Oh please. Chase was still the right person to send home, he was injured, no one on the team liked him, and he's a sexist pig. But that's beside the point. Right now, I am trying to come up with something that would make Heather for sure leave. Just have to make her look bad in a challenge, sabotage her, or hell we could even throw the challenge." Scott suggested.
"I am not throwing a challenge, unless you personally wrong me, it's not like Heather kissed Duncan who is still my boyfriend. That would get me to throw a challenge to send her or anyone doing that to me, home." Courtney stated as Scott flinched at the mention of Courtney saying Duncan was still her boyfriend, something Courtney did not notice.
The camera soon panned over to Cody who was sitting on the ground in Economy Class while Sierra sat right behind him trying to give him a back massage, as unfortunately for him, neither Kitty nor Mickey was anywhere to be seen. "You will like this, Cody. Everyone likes a good back massage."
Cody was wincing at the sight and felt visibly uncomfortable with Sierra "I don't like this, and I have told you that many times now. I don't like being touched at all." Cody said annoyed looking around first class for Kitty and Mickey who were nowhere in sight.
"Oh, that's nonsense Cody. Any girlfriend would be foolish not to do this for you." Sierra stated, looking intently at Cody's head and keeping up with the back massage.
"But…. you're not my girlfriend at all." Cody stated in a monotone voice. "Look I got to use the restroom, just focus on your uh, technique Sierra, just without me around." Cody stated, running out
"Aw thanks, Codykins I will." Sierra stated happily, while others like Katie and Ella winced at the sight of that interaction but decided against speaking out.
Cody was running away from Sierra before realizing he had to go to the cargo hold as it was dark and complex enough to where he could clear his mind, and the bathroom cover story would give him enough time away from Sierra. Cody had luckily made it down there without anyone noticing him, as he hid behind one of the boxes, "Where were you Kitty? Where were you, Mickey? I need you guys. I need you." Cody said quietly to himself thinking of his two best friends and in particular missing one of them in particular.
Meanwhile
Back in Economy Class the camera panned over to Owen and Noah who were just beginning to talk together on one end, "What's wrong Owen? You have your worried face on."
"It's nothing buddy. I'm just still thinking of who flipped that sent Dave home back in Morocco. I still think it's Julia by the way." Owen stated,
"I'm telling you Owen. There's no way it's Julia. She's an idiot who's obsessed with her looks and nothing more. I mean she's only slightly smarter than Lindsay." Noah stated, before looking at Owen again who was looking nervous. "Okay what else is bugging you? There's no way it's just the Dave vote"
"I'm just also scared of Eva; she tried to beat me up in Paris and I think she and Al would have rather had me as fish food in the last challenge." Owen said, while scanning the room to make sure Alejandro and Eva didn't overhear him.
"Don't worry, I can calm Eva down, she just gets a bit too competitive. I'll make sure she doesn't do anything stupid today." Noah reassured.
"Thanks buddy. Hug?" Owen asked before Noah shook his head out of fear of getting crushed.
The camera panned over to the other end of the bench with Duncan carving a skull on the bench and Bowie watching, "If you don't mind me asking. Why aren't you making out with Courtney, you are both here in the economy class section of the plane?"
"She'd rather be with her teammates right now." Duncan explained.
"Sure." Bowie said, crossing his arms, unconvinced.
"Well why don't you go bug another guy on the team who isn't me then for the day? Then maybe I will spend some time with Courtney." Duncan offered.
"Fine, I swear Duncan you are such an enigma of a person. But I know there's no one here who would like me in a romantic way." Bowie said, annoyed. "You are all straight."
"I wasn't talking about anything in a romantic sense. Shallow minded?" Duncan said in a huff as Bowie stood up and began walking away.
Confessional- Bowie
"Duncan is right about one thing, I do need to reach out to more people on this team who aren't him as he is driving me nuts lately. Making more friends and allies is only a good thing."
Back To Scene
The scene flashed back to Economy Class showing Justin who was checking himself in the mirror "How I didn't get a scratch from that yesterday, I don't know." Justin then heard someone coughing and put his mirror away and saw Bowie standing in front of him.
"Hey, do you mind if I sit here?" Bowie asked, looking confident.
"No, I don't mind. I'm just preparing for whatever torture Chris has in store for us. Oh Bowie, did you hear what happened yesterday on the speedboat, for our team?" Justin asked.
"Ooh, no, do tell. I got stuck with Trent, Jen and Noah working on a useless sandcastle." Bowie explained, taking full interest in the story. "That was not fun at all."
"Better than me, who ended up risking his life because Duncan was an absolute dumbass. He drove recklessly and along with Brick we all got in a huge fight over the steering wheel and crashed into a dock. How I got not even a scratch on my face is just beyond me." Justin explained back. "Maybe I won't become a circus freak."
"To be fair, haven't you and Duncan done two seasons of this show now so you guys should be used to this? Not to mention Brick has army experience so I imagine he's tough." Bowie said, looking over to Brick and Duncan, the former was talking to Jo while the latter was still carving a skull on the plane.
"Are you saying he's tough because you find him attractive?" Justin asked in a teasing tone.
"Nope, not at all, he's not my type at all." Bowie said as he and Justin kept talking both completely engaged in the conversation.
"What is your type?" Justin asked.
"Strong athletic type with a side of himbo." Bowie explained.
"Himbo?" Justin asked, now sounding confused.
"Male bimbo. Just kind of aloof, but I would want them athletic as well." Bowie explained.
Confessional- Justin
"Honestly heading into this season, I was expecting to already be eliminated as many people didn't like my actions last season. Besides my band mates Harold, Cody, and Trent, I didn't expect to get along with anyone this season. But shockingly enough Bowie is someone I find very tolerable. It's bizarre."
First Class
In the first-class section, Geoff and Brody were sitting on one section of seats while Jasmine and Shawn were sitting at the other one, with Brody and Shawn still feeling the effects of the last challenge. Millie was walking by and asked, "How are they doing?"
"They aren't doing great, but they are getting better, mate as I don't get shocked touching them now." Jasmine lightly joked as Millie nodded and walked away, as Jasmine sighed soon after. "Ugh, I just feel so guilty about Shawn being this way."
"Why Jasmine?" Geoff asked. "It's not like you were the one who barbecued him, you were with a shark yesterday, it was the faulty engine that fried him to a crisp." Geoff tried to reason.
"Before the challenge yesterday, I made fun of Shawn's whole zombie shtick, and I am wondering if Shawn hurting himself had something to do with me and trying to prove himself." Jasmine pondered.
"Well regardless, we should try to enjoy our time left in First class." Geoff said, gleefully.
"Fair enough, I just also hope we don't have to send anyone home. The team is really peaceful right now. I still feel sad about DJ leaving, but I also know he would want the team to stay stronger together." Jasmine explained. At that moment both Shawn and Brody felt the effects of the electrocution. "I hope somehow we can sit these guys out of the challenge."
"Agreed, I don't think I have ever seen Brody this rough." Geoff observed.
Leshawna at that moment was walking by and shouted out "Hey guys, I'm going to the common area. Anybody need anything?"
Tyler spoke up, "Ooh, get me some ketchup packets. They help to fuel my body up!"
Damien who was sitting right next to him asked, "But we're not eating anything? Why would you need ketchup packets? That can't be healthy for you."
Leshawna decided to oblige by Tyler's interesting request, and left the first class, "I don't need to hear those two debate the merits of ketchup packets." Leshawna was then seen grabbing a handful of packets.
At that moment Alejandro walked up to Leshawna "What are you doing senorita?" Alejandro asked, trying to put on as much charm as possible.
"I'm getting ketchup packets for my teammates." Leshawna explained looking away, not trying to fall for his charm.
"Oh, that is just so admirable. You are such a good teammate for your team." Alejandro complimented, still trying to manipulate Leshawna.
"Thanks, Alejandro." Leshawna said, slightly flustered.
"Only a woman as beautiful and strong as you could possibly lead a team like yours, don't you think." Alejandro further said, trying to make Leshawna feel even better.
"I uh, I have to go." Leshawna said quickly heading back into the first-class quarters, as she shut the door she didn't see Alejandro's confident smirk. Leshawna said to herself "He's good, but if he is trying to get with me, he needs to look elsewhere as I'm with Harold. So, I am not going to let that man be my downfall in the game, so I don't feel anything," Leshawna however had her face crack soon after.
Outside The Plane
Each team was gathered around outside the plane just off the coast of Iceland as Chris began speaking "Today is the last day of having challenges back-to-back to back for each day."
"Thank goodness." Heather complained.
"Now for today's challenge, it's all about choices." Blaineley began to explain.
"What do you mean by choices?" Heather asked, raising her eyebrows.
"You have the choice of memorizing an Icelandic phrase, finding a fossil or you get to eat a feast of food." Chris said grinning.
"Spill it McClean, you and I both know that sounds way too easy." Jo angrily said.
"Aw Jo, you know us too well, and this is your first season. I am impressed. Blaineley care to explain the twist with each challenge?" Chris asked.
"For the Icelandic phrase you are going through a hot geyser field in order to make it to the local, and if you fail the phrase you have to go all the way back to the beginning. For the fossil you have to use a pickaxe that will let the fossil loose, but the ground and the fossil are covered in ice. Lastly, the feast. Chef, I'll let you explain what's in the feast." Blaineley explained.
"Gladly, the Icelandic feast consists of shark, pickled herring, cured ram, royal puffin, and singed sheep head." Chef explained which got everyone hearing that to gulp.
"Now since Team Victory has two members who are toasted right now." Chris joked.
"Not funny Chris." Millie said in annoyance.
"It is and you know it. Anyways, I'll need two members from Team Victory to run the challenge twice." Chris asked, with Geoff volunteering for Brody and Jasmine raising her hand for Shawn. "Okay now that whole issue is settled. If you want to do the Icelandic phrase, come with me, fossils will stand behind Blaineley and Chef gets the people that do the feast." For the Icelandic phrase, Heather, Cody, Kitty, Emma, Mickey, Ella, Sierra, Katie, Alejandro, Sky, Julia, Bridgette, Geoff, Lindsay, Tyler, and Brody with Geoff helping Brody out, decided to do it, even if Heather didn't want to deal with Chris any longer than she had too. For the fossils Zoey, Anne Maria, Topher, Justin, Bowie, Trent, Jen, Leshawna, Cameron, Harold, and Millie decided to go for that part of the challenge. While the feast had Gwen, Courtney, Scott, Duncan, Jo, Owen, Noah, Eva, Brick, Damien, Ezekiel, Jasmine and Shawn as its participants.
"Everyone with me, hop on the bus. Everyone with Chef and Blaineley follow them, they have a helicopter waiting to take you to your challenge."
"A helicopter? Oh, this is awesome." Zoey cheered out in excitement.
Confessional- Eva
"Ugh. I have to do the challenge with Owen. These last few days I've realized that he is an absolute dead weight in challenges and if we lose tonight, he's going home tonight. I guarantee it."
Confessional- Heather
"Of the three possible challenges the only one I wanted to do was the Icelandic phrase. The feast sounded disgusting and considering how cold it is and how much of a cheapskate Chris is, I wasn't going to deal with any amount of ice. Besides this challenge is a good way to reinforce to my team that I'm a valuable team member."
Confessional- Owen
"Yay, another food challenge. I also get to do this with my best friend Noah. This day may turn out to be the best day ever."
Confessional- Jen
"Doing the fossil challenge was my only option. If I tried the geyser challenge, I would have a full-blown panic attack as my top is cold wash only here. As for the feast, after the stew challenge I wanna avoid food challenges as much as possible."
Confessional- Jasmine
"Huge risk taking on a feast that big, but I have a big appetite, and more importantly I feel bad about Shawn, so I figured this was an okay way to make it up to him."
Confessional- Jo
"I've got to bring it my all in this challenge, yeah I CAN DO THIS! If I don't perform well on this challenge, I know that I'm going home, I have Brick as an ally and that's it. Today, I will give it my all and leave it all out on the table."
Start Of Challenge
The camera flashed to the entry to the geyser fields as Chris was shown with an earpiece which made Heather laugh, "You look ridiculous Chris." Heather said, laughing at Chris.
"Heather, we have handcuffs ready, if need be, for the challenge so you're partnered up." Chris threatened which got Heather quiet. "Good, come in Blaineley, Chef, do you copy?"
The camera cut to a three-way scene divided showing each of Chris, Blaineley, and Chef on the screen as each of them announced "The challenge starts in 3, 2, 1!"
At the geyser field everyone was running when Kitty hit the audio box "Vinsamlegast mir men travel abending." The audio box played.
"Um what?" Julia asked.
"It was our boss Don Strauss' idea for the phrase, just go." Chris said in annoyance.
As the group began to take off, most were stopped by a geyser taking off "Woah." Geoff said in awe.
Most were watching the geysers taking off, except for Heather who took off right away "I'm not wasting time gazing the scenery and going to just sight see." Heather said in annoyance.
"Right behind you." Emma called out following her closest ally.
"She's amazing." Alejandro said, looking at Heather in awe.
Bridgette was also focused on the challenge but got blasted by a blast of hot water, "Aah, come on!"
Katie and Ella looked at and saw how quickly Heather was going through the geyser field, without even getting hit. "How does she manage to do that?" Katie asked, in annoyance.
Lindsay was walking up to them and commented "Don't you guys remember that Heather has a background in ballet? She is great with this precious stuff." Lindsay stated.
Ella raised her eyebrows, "I assume you meant precision, and that explains how her ballet is better than mine."
Fossil Cave
In the fossil caves everyone who was participating in the challenge had picked up a pickaxe and all of them were slowly walking on the ice to make sure they didn't fall. "Is it too late to do the Icelandic phrase?" Millie asked.
"It's too late." Blaineley announced off screen.
"Of course it is." Millie said to herself, still slowly trying to make her way through the ice.
"This at least could be fun- ow!" Jen began to say until she slipped on the ice while also tripping Trent who was standing right in front of her as both tumbled down to the bottom of the cave, and for them, they were in a rather awkward position with Trent's head only a few inches from Jen's face as both quickly got up.
"Sorry about that." Trent quickly said, "I should have been more aware of my surroundings."
"No, no, it's my fault. I was the one who tripped. We should just focus on the challenge, yeah." Jen said, trying to diffuse the situation.
Justin made his way down to the cave and saw Trent looking confused "Are you okay?" Justin asked as Trent ignored his best friend as Bowie approached the scene, "What's wrong with him?" Justin asked Bowie as Bowie shrugged his shoulders.
Feast
At the feast everyone who was there had begun eating with people like Damien struggling to eat anything "How can anyone stand to eat this?" Damien asked.
"Quit complaining you sissy. This is nothing." Eva proudly claimed.
"You're not my teammate so if I want to complain I will." Damien said, defending himself. "Besides, you should just be quiet, please."
Damien telling Eva to be quiet got the latter very angry as Eva said to herself "I want to just punch that asshole in the face."
Courtney, who overheard Eva, decided to chime in, saying "Real mature to punch another person in the face." Eva however ignored Courtney as Eva's closest ally in Noah raised his eyebrows watching Eva's temper continue to rise.
Confessional- Noah
"I really don't get why Eva is getting angrier as I remember before the season Eva told me she had her anger under control, but it feels like it keeps getting worse."
Geyser Field
In the geysers, Heather was still making quick work of the geysers and had managed to reach the local, "Vinsamlegast mir men travel abending." Heather pronounced as the local gave her a thumbs up.
Chris walked on to the scene shortly after "Congrats to Heather, and since she is the first one to finish the challenge outright, she has immunity tonight. Everyone else is vulnerable unless their team wins."
Confessional- Heather
"Ha! I knew all those years of ballet dancing would help me. No one should underestimate me. I plan to keep on kicking ass this season."
Confessional- Courtney
"Ugh! This is so frustrating. I didn't want to throw the challenge, but it'd be great to have Heather as an option to eliminate tonight. What's even more annoying, Heather doing so well is going to make Scott defend her again. Today is not my day, at all."
Back To Scene
Back in the geysers the camera panned over to show both Bridgette and Alejandro finishing the challenge, Alejandro wanted to make conversation with Bridgette to further manipulate her, however before Alejandro could say a word, Bridgette took off out of sight, "What's going on with her?" Alejandro asked.
Confessional- Bridgette
"Normally, I'd be talking to a man as handsome as Alejandro but after seeing how dominant Heather was in this challenge, I wonder if I should try and be a leader for Team Victory as Heather is the leader of Team Victory and she seems to have herself together. That and our team needs a leader. Maybe?"
Feast
At the feast Eva was shown making quick work of the feast, "My teammates are just being sissies about this whole thing." Eva snarked as she had a huge lead on everyone else competing in the feast.
"She's not a team player at all." Brick said to himself, luckily for him Eva didn't overhear him.
However, Eva did soon finish the challenge, "I'll be back to cheer you guys on." Eva said, turning her finished platter in.
"Honestly I'd rather have complete silence and peace," Duncan said, rolling his eyes. Not even 10 seconds later Courtney finished her platter of food,
"Don't worry Duncan, you'll get your peace and quiet," Courtney teased as she and Scott finished,
Scott however wasn't looking or feeling the best, "Get me a bathroom asap." Scott yelled out as he ran off screen to turn his plate in and find a bathroom soon after.
"I better make sure he's okay, he at least finished food around the same time as me." Courtney said walking away.
Duncan looked down on his plate realizing he was done, and sighed at the sight of his plate realizing he could have finished with Courtney. "Why did I do nothing?" was all Duncan could say as he walked away with his empty platter.
Confessional- Duncan
"I have all this time to speak with Courtney and I don't bother to. Now she is focused on another guy. What should I do?"
Fossil Cave
In the fossil caves, everyone is working on the fossils as the cameras zoomed in on Zoey "Focus, focus, focus!" Zoey said in anger, before noticing Anne Maria flirting with Topher snuggling her hair right next to him. "Unbelievable." Zoey said in anger as she managed to get the fossil out of the ice first.
Confessional- Zoey
"That snake. She and I agreed not even 24 hours ago that we wouldn't make a move on Topher until after the game was done. Ugh! I should have known better than to think Anne Maria would actually honor anything."
Back To Scene
Zoey is shown walking out of the cave "Just focus your mind elsewhere." Zoey said to herself walking slowly out as the camera zoomed in on Anne Maria smirking as she knew she bugged Zoey as Topher got his fossil out.
Topher, noticing Zoey was leaving, was about to follow her "I should go talk to her now that I got my fossil." Before he could take off however Anne Maria grabbed his arm.
"Ugh, I could use some help, these pickaxes are so hard to aim properly." Anne Maria said, trying to appear helpless. "Forget her and help my luscious self."
"I uh, I guess so." Topher said, unsure for a second, "I guess it makes sense to help anyone who needs help."
Feast
At the feast, Ezekiel is the next one to finish "Aw boo yeah. I knew I got this." Ezekiel cheered out as he left.
"How can anyone find this enjoyable? This is barely food and is that an eyeball?" Damien asked before puking as he realized he would have to eat an eye.
"He's right, how you can do these food challenges so well Owen is beyond me." Noah said to himself before looking over to see Owen's empty plate. "What the hell Owen? How long have you been finished?"
"Oh, for the last 10 minutes or so I've been done. I just wanted to finish the challenge with my best buddy." Owen sheepishly said.
"Ugh normally I'd tell you no, but I'm already too exhausted from this food." Noah said, annoyed as he set his head on the table.
However, for Owen, the good times weren't going to last as Eva came walking up to him and Noah, "Okay, wait why the heck hasn't fat ass over here turned his plate he's done!" Eva yelled out in anger and her anger was reaching a boiling point.
"I just want to finish the challenge at the same time as Noah. Nothing wrong with that and Noah doesn't mind." Owen explained.
"No, I just don't care." Noah corrected Owen.
"Well, I mind and care, ugh you are completely useless Owen!" Eva yelled in anger. "Owen get your fat tub of lard ass to the finish line now." Eva demanded.
"No. I don't want to. I enjoy Noah's company, and I find you scary Eva. Please leave us alone." Owen asked, scared, trying to muster the courage to confront Eva.
Eva however didn't take to this kindly however, "If you really want to be scared of me, I'll give you a reason." Eva yelled out, as she grabbed Owen's empty plate as Noah and Owen watched Eva in fear.
Noah had the sense of what Eva was going to do and whispered in Owen's ear "Run, now!"
Without being told twice Owen screamed a scream that could rival people like Lindsay's as Eva roared out "You are dead, Owen!" With that both Owen and Eva were running in circles. Brick and Jo, who were trying to ignore their vitriolic teammates, looked down and both saw their plates were finished and quickly left the scene to avoid the drama.
Confessional- Brick
"Eva is just not a good teammate to have. But maybe this is the opportunity I need to save Jo if our team does lose."
Confessional- Jo
"I would have finished earlier, but Eva and Owen's little argument distracted me. I just hope I did enough for the challenge. But knowing my teammates who aren't Brick, they'll somehow blame me for this."
Fossil Cave
In the fossil caves Bowie and Justin were shown working side by side. Bowie complained "This challenge is so difficult. Gosh I hate Chris so much."
Justin however wasn't struggling, despite how he cared about his looks, he wanted to stand out, "You just have to be tough but firm like a diamond. Besides, your fossil is almost done."
"Huh, I guess I hadn't noticed." Bowie noted.
As both Justin and Bowie were taking their fossils out of the cave, Justin asked "Have you given any thought for who should be eliminated if our team loses, as I assume the next consensus target is Jo."
"We could vote out Jo. There is someone on the team though I know we can't vote out as they are in too good of a position, but I don't trust them at all." Bowie explained.
"I have that exact same problem, here on three let's say who, one, two, three" Justin said.
"Alejandro." both Justin and Bowie said at the same time.
"Thank you, he has a good body, don't get me wrong. But he's a horrible leader and is trying way too wrong to take control of the team." Bowie said.
"He is useful for the challenges though as he is already finished with the challenge and can keep his temper as I've never seen him angry." Justin noted. "Maybe we target someone who is causing problems on the team, who isn't Jo." Justin suggested.
Confessional- Bowie
"Look, a friendship is an alliance, and Justin is someone I'm trying to build a relationship with." (Eyes widen) "I meant friendship. Where was I? Oh yeah, Justin, he is probably my closest ally. Mainly because I can't deal with Duncan's whole relationship drama with Courtney and Justin is the one person, I feel like I can vent too. Before you ask, he is not my type at all"
Back To Scene
As Bowie and Justin continued to walk away from the ice cave with their fossils in hand, Trent was the next one to finish carving a fossil out of the ice. He decides to walk up to Jen "Hey Jen, I got my fossil out, I can show you some of the ways to get it out easier."
Jen however was growing frustrated by Trent's presence "Just get out of here."
"Is there something I did wrong? I just want to help out. You've already smashed a fossil-" Trent began to say.
"I know. I'm fine." Jen angrily said as she tried to focus back on the challenge.
"I just want to help you out. But if you want to be left alone, I'll do it." Trent explained solemnly as he walked away with his intact fossil. As Trent was leaving, Harold and Leshawna had also finished their fossils and were heading out right behind him.
Jen who was still in a state of anger and confusion. "Just focus, you got this." however at that moment Jen smashed her second fossil.
Confessional- Jen
"When things get awkward or weird with a friend like Trent, I just like to focus on the task at hand. But it seemed like no matter how much I tried to focus on the challenge. I couldn't get the hang of it."
Geyser Field
Back at the geysers the scene was showing Lindsay running back from the local who had just told her she was wrong, "Come on Lindsay. You got this."
Not even a minute later Tyler runs up to the local "Vinsamlegast mir men travel appetizing." Tyler said as the local shook her head no. "Ugh, I'll be right back ma'am." Tyler said politely as he ran back before getting his foot stuck in a small geyser "Oh come on!"
Back over in the middle of the geyser field Mickey and Cody were shown running until both got blasted by hot water, "Ouch, oh my gosh that burns! I feel like I'm on fire!" Cody yelled out.
"Aahh, that feels so relaxing." Mickey calmly stated.
"Dude, how can you find this relaxing; I feel like I just got blasted into a sauna." Cody explained as he took his shirt off due to getting soaked and the sudden heat he felt from the geyser. Mickey meanwhile looked back and saw his best friend shirtless, shocking him for a second as Cody noticed "What's wrong?"
"Nothing, you're just uh…." Mickey began to say before trailing off.
"Without a shirt right now? Yeah, I know, I'm confident in my own body. Don't worry, I'll put it back on soon. Just getting blasted with boiling hot water made me feel way too warm." Cody explained.
"I guess that makes sense." Mickey reasoned and began to walk away before turning around and sees that Cody hasn't moved. "What's going on Cody? Is it about me not feeling the geyser water like you do? I can explain, hot saltwater helps with my eczema as my feet can look like armadillos." Mickey began frantically explaining.
"No, it's not, it's just a couple of things. First of all, where were you this morning as Sierra saw I was alone, so she gave me an unwanted foot massage this morning. I only got out of it by lying to her and saying I had to go to the bathroom, which reminds me I need to find a bathroom once we're done with this challenge, so she doesn't get suspicious but where were you and Kitty? I needed you guys." Cody asked.
"I'm sorry, I was just having a hard morning, I was just missing my family. I should have consulted with Kitty so at least one of us was with you. You're not mad at me, are you?" Mickey asked, scared of what his best friend would think.
"No. I'm not mad, a little annoyed but, not mad, I could never be mad at you dude, you're my best friend here, the other thing I wanted to discuss was that I had a theory." Cody explained.
"Okay?" Mickey asked, raising his eyebrows. "I'll listen to whatever you tell me."
"Well last challenge after we failed and you were passed out, Kitty mentioned she had a sister who was just getting out of a toxic relationship and get this she's named Emma." Cody said excitedly.
"Wait what are you implying, that Kitty and Emma are related. They don't look anything alike." Mickey reasoned.
"It's just way too coincidental." Cody said.
Mickey however didn't want to dwell on it for too long as he thought the whole thing was ridiculous. "Look let's talk about this more later, you should probably put your shirt back on before Sierra goes more insane and sees you, and probably kills me for seeing it before her as I am thinking she voted for me last time out of jealousy that we are friends." Mickey told Cody who put his shirt back on even if the hot geyser water burned it up a fair amount as well, leaving it partially destroyed.
"Ugh, I didn't even see my shirt was ripped apart, let's just go over the phrase." Cody bemoaned.
Confessional- Mickey
"Is Cody serious about Emma and Kitty being sisters? Like I told him they look nothing alike. You can tell when people are related whether it be my brother and I, celebrity siblings. But unless there is an adoption involved with Kitty or Emma they aren't related. But I'll entertain Cody's ideas. He is my best friend here after all."
Back To Scene
Back at the geyser field the camera showed each of Ella, Emma, Katie, and Sky attempting the phrase "Vinsamlegast mir men travel abending." All 4 of them said getting the approval of the judge at the same time.
Confessional- Ella and Katie
"Katie and I went over the phrase multiple times and then told the local person separately." Ella explained.
"Yeah, there was nothing in the rules saying we couldn't study the phrase and repeat it to each other. It's not cheating. Chris would have said something." Katie explained.
Fossil Cave
Back in the fossil caves Topher was helping Anne Maria with the fossils "Okay one more hit and you should get it out, just focus-" Topher slowly said until Anne Maria snapped.
"Don't talk to me like I'm stupid. I got this." Anne Maria stated, getting the fossil out.
"I'm sorry, that wasn't my intention at all. Just wanted to help one of my closest friends out." Topher said, looking down at the ground before he had an idea. "Zoey, Zoey are you still here? We're done with the challenge." Topher called out. "I guess she's not here. I wonder where she went."
"Red must have been more focused on the challenge. We should probably head out platinum blonde." Anne Maria said walking away.
"Platinum blonde?" Topher asked.
"That's the nickname I gave you, unless I got the wrong type of hair color?" Anne Maria asked.
"I'm dirty blonde, not platinum blonde, but it's the thought that counts." Topher reassured Anne Maria as both were heading out of the cave.
The camera panned over to a struggling Jen who accidentally broke her fourth fossil at this point, "Oh come on!"
Geyser Field
At the geyser field Kitty was shown with the local "Vinsamlegast mir men travel abending." Kitty said as the local gave her a thumbs up.
Sierra was the next one to attempt the Icelandic phrase, "Vinsamlegast mir men travel ascending." Sierra said which got the judge to shake her head no. "Oh come on, you are absolutely sabotaging me."
At that moment Geoff ran up "Vinsamlegast mir men travel abending." Geoff said which got the thumbs up from the judge.
"Oh, so that's it." Sierra noticed as both her and Geoff ran back to the speaker at the other end of the geyser field. As Sierra was running, she saw Cody and Mickey going past her, "Of course Mickey is with my Cody."
Off screen you could hear Mickey cheer "Yes, I got the question right."
"Oh, come on!" Sierra said, pouting.
The camera panned back over to Cody who had just said the phrase as the judge gave him a thumbs up "Yes. Phew. I figured I'd be at this all day. Thanks for helping me out Mickey". Cody said as both of them gave each other a bear hug.
Icelandic Feast
Back at the feast Gwen was the next one to finish the challenge as she belched, "Bleh, I should've just done the phrase as I'm going to feel this in the morning."
Damien meanwhile was still struggling with his plate "This is inhumane. Remind myself that I am never going to Iceland when I am done with this show."
Meanwhile at the same time Damien was bemoaning his predicament Eva and Owen were still running around in circles "Stop running chubby and let me pulverize you." Eva yelled out.
The camera panned to Noah who looked right at it, "Viewers if you are wondering how long Eva and Noah have been running in circles around this table I would say it's been about 20 minutes."
"Oh…my…. gosh. I'm….so…...scared!" Owen said panting as he somehow due to pure adrenaline or dumb luck was still keeping pace with Eva.
Jasmine finished her feast next, "Oh great, I'm done… and I just realized I have to eat this all again."
Damien lifted his head up, "You did the feast for Shawn, so you are eating this again? Are you crazy?"
"Maybe I am. I just feel so guilty about Shawn being electrocuted so much as I blame myself for how he was the last challenge, just don't mention it to him, okay?" Jasmine asked.
"Sure, I guess?" Damien said, unsure of why Jasmine was so beaten up inside.
Geyser Field
Back at the geysers Julia is the next one to attempt the Icelandic phrase 'Vinsamlegast mir men travel abending." Julia said as the local gave her a thumbs up, "Oh and I just want to say your duck dress is truly horrendous and shame on you for wearing a live duck." Julia confidently said walking away.
Sky gasped at the interaction as she was shocked that her closest ally would tell the judge off. "What the hell was that?"
"What?" Julia said feigning ignorance.
"You berated that lady off for her fashion choices unprompted." Sky explained.
"What, you think her dress is good?" Julia asked.
"No, I think it's kind of odd. But why not just keep your negative opinions to yourself." Sky said trying to get Julia to realize the error of her ways.
"Look she needed to hear the truth that her dress was shit. It's no big deal, it's not like we are seeing her after this dumb challenge is over." Julia explained as she walked away with Sky following shortly behind even if Sky flinched at her closest ally's response.
Confessional- Sky
"What Julia said was wrong no matter how much she tries to justify her actions. I hope it's a one-off thing, but I'll keep an eye on Julia, so she doesn't say or do something rude or stupid next time."
Icelandic Feast
Back at the feast the camera panned up to show that Noah was done, "Finally done with this dreck, Owen, Eva I'm done." Noah called out. However, neither Eva nor Owen heard or saw that Noah was finished as they kept on running in circles "Guys?" Noah said before walking in front of where the two were running.
Luckily for him, Owen stopped right in front of him, as Owen gave Noah a huge bear hug to celebrate, "Yay little buddy! You're finished. This is amazing!" Owen cheered out. Unfortunately, at the same time Eva was still running and bounced off of Owen's backside and landed on the ground hard. "Oops, sorry Eva, but Noah's done so it's all good now." Owen cheered,
"Great." Eva said sarcastically before immediately kicking Owen in the nuts as Owen fell to the ground.
"Mommy!" Owen said before passing out. Eva in her anger dragged the unconscious Owen with her as Noah facepalmed at the actions of his two closest allies.
Ice Caves
Back at the ice caves Millie and Cameron were walking carefully towards the exit, "I have to say, I'm really proud of myself that I got this done. Physical tasks aren't really my thing." Millie stated
Cameron raised his eyebrows at that statement as he was now curious about Millie, "What type of stuff are your things?" Cameron asked.
"Well academics mainly, I graduated top of my class academically." Millie claimed.
Cameron was now left even more confused, "Why would you join this show then?"
Millie was admittedly caught completely off guard by Cameron's question and knew in that moment she had to lie to Cameron as no one could know the truth for why she joined the show. "Just to get a break from my life back home and go on an adventure. If you don't mind me asking, why did you join the show, Cameron?"
"It's complicated." Cameron said, looking down.
Millie was the one that was now curious as she didn't expect Cameron to have such a subdued reaction, "How can it be complicated?"
"Look what I'm about to tell you, I don't want to be used against me. Promise?" Cameron asked.
"Of course. What's wrong Cameron?" Millie asked back.
"It's kind of a joke that I was a bubble boy on our team, but I've never told the extent. I love her, but my mother made it, so I grew up in a bubble, and I had absolutely no social interaction. Heck I'm still getting used to it." Cameron explained.
"If you don't mind me asking, is that why you and Ezekiel are friends?" Millie asked.
"Yeah, sure I was raised by an overprotective single mother, and Ezekiel was raised by prairie people, but we were both homeschooling, so I felt a certain kinship with him. Truth is Millie, Ezekiel was my first friend I have made. All my life for the first 17 years of my life, all I wanted was to meet people who weren't just my family." Cameron said.
Millie's curiosity continued to perk up, "How did Total Drama come then?"
Cameron rubbed his hand against his head nervous to reveal, but decided to anyway as he felt he could trust Millie, "I'm not proud of this but I sort of lied to my mother as I told her if I won, I would give her all the money and she would use it for more air for my bubble."
Millie instantly knew what Cameron was feeling, "I assume given everything you've told me that's not what you would actually do with the money?"
Cameron instantly shook his head no, "No not at all. All this money if I somehow would win, would go for myself and my future, I'd give her enough money so she can live by herself and I wouldn't have to worry, I just hope she understands that I can't spend my whole life in a bubble and I need friends and an actual life beyond a bubble."
"I'm sure she'll understand and if she doesn't, I understand." Millie reassured.
Geyser Field
Back at the Geyser Field, Tyler was trying for the second time "Vinsamlegast mir men travel abending." Tyler called out as the local gave Tyler a thumbs up for approval. "Hey Lindsay, the answer is….is…vin." Tyler said before drifting off showing Chris with a set of tranquilizer darts.
"What? Once someone is done with the challenge, they can't help someone with the phrase, they can help with the fossils or the feast but not this one." Chris explained as the camera zoomed out to show Sierra who was glaring really hard at the local for having to run back and forth as she reluctantly gave Sierra a thumbs up which Chris noticed "Hey wait a second, Sierra never said the phrase." The local lady whispered in Chris' ear and Chris' eyes widened in horror, "Never mind Sierra completes her challenge so that means Team Amazon wins the challenge."
"What, I did it? Oh my gosh! I just want to thank Chris, Cody, the showrunners, the…." Sierra began saying as the camera panned out to show that Geoff finished saying the phrase which meant that he and Brody were now both done.
Icelandic Feast
At the feast all that remained were Damien and Jasmine. Neither of them felt great. Damien had his face down in his plate, bemoaning the situation, "Who could be left doing this disgusting challenge. I am never eating disgusting food again."
Jasmine however was growing impatient, "Shut up please, you didn't have to eat it twice. Nope, Jasmine don't make excuses. You did this. You can do this. We have to win this Damien for the team. When you set your mind to something you can achieve anything." Jasmine cheered.
"You're right. Let's do this." Damien cheered out as he and Jasmine in a burst of momentum both finished their plates and handed them in to Chef.
"Chef, does that mean we get second place?" Jasmine asked.
"Hold on kids, let me see the tablet, nope it looks like Lindsay from your team and Jen from Team Style still aren't done with their challenge." Chef explained.
"Ugh, that can't be good. Come on Lindsay, get that phrase right." Damien said worriedly as he didn't want anyone in his alliance targeted.
The camera flashed to Ezekiel, Cameron, and Leshawna who were all sitting by the rocks in the park as Ezekiel spoke up. "Well, it does make it easy for tonight's vote."
Leshawna however raised her eyebrows and glared at Ezekiel, "Why because Lindsay is a girl?"
Ezekiel, who was scared of Leshawna, immediately raised his hands in defense, "No. She is performing the worst in the challenge, and she is probably our weakest teammate, and I would say the same if this was Brody or Geoff."
"I agree with Ezekiel. Lindsay is a really nice person, but she hasn't done well in pretty much any challenge, and this is her worst showing yet." Cameron reasoned. "We need the strongest team moving forward and Lindsay hasn't done well yet."
Geyser Field
At the geysers a montage was shown of Lindsay asking the local judge about the phrase as she kept shaking her head no, as Lindsay's makeup got more and more smeared. After a total of 12 failed attempts Lindsay just looked down and actually noticed the judge's dress. "Is that an original Petroski? It's one of my favorites and you have the body to pull it off. Just wanted to give you a compliment."
The judge, feeling bad for Lindsay gave her a thumbs up and walked over to the lady and hugged her, as she told Lindsay "Thank you." the judge then walked away, happy that Lindsay made her day a lot better after Julia ruined it to some extent earlier.
The members of Team Victory that did the Icelandic phrase in Bridgette, Geoff, Tyler, and an electrocuted Brody walked up to Lindsay, "Don't worry. None of us are going to hold this challenge against you. Group hug, sans Brody?" Bridgette asked.
As Bridgette, Geoff, Tyler, and Lindsay stayed in their solemn group hug, Chris walked up to them. "What's wrong with you guys?"
Lindsay explained it best as the group dispersed from their hug, "I tried that phrase for over an hour, so Team Victory had to have lost."
"It only makes sense dude." Geoff said as he looked sad at what he thought was going to happen.
"While that is shockingly sound logic from both of you. You'll be pleased to hear you guys finished second tonight." Chris announced.
"No way, that can't be true. Yeah!" Geoff cheered out as he and Bridgette cheered while Tyler and Lindsay kissed.
Tyler quickly broke away from the kiss as he was now confused "How could we have gotten second, who from Team Style child possibly still be doing the challenge." Tyler asked.
Fossil Cave
Back inside the fossil caves, Jen was sitting by herself on the ground of the cave, looking at her reflection as she looked exhausted, "I'm such a failure." Jen told herself.
Confessional- Jen
"It's so embarrassing that I completely failed this challenge, that stupid moment with Trent was all I could think about, and it just completely frazzled my mind. This is hopefully a fluke. I just don't know how to feel right now."
Back To Scene
The scene cuts back to show that Bowie was looking around in the cave for Jen, "Hey Jen, where are you, it's just me Bowie." Bowie soon saw Jen, "Ah there you are, we uh, we lose the challenge."
Jen rolled her eyes in annoyance, "Great, and I assume it's all my fault."
"Technically you're right that it's your fault since you didn't complete the challenge." Bowie stated as Jen glared at him. "But you shouldn't worry about going home tonight."
"I assume the rest of the team is still eliminating Jo after the whole Dave elimination debacle." Jen asked.
Bowie however who was now looking to spare Jo from elimination felt he would probably need Jen's vote along with Trent's for the plan to work, decided to divulge to Jen some of the plan he was concocting, "I mean, that's the expected move but I think there's a bigger liability on the team."
"Honestly as long as I'm safe, that's all that matters." Jen states as her and Bowie had finally made their way out of the cave, only to see that Owen had a black eye and a broken nose as both flinched at the sight.
End Of Challenge
Everyone was gathered around the entrance to the park as Chris began to wrap the challenge up, "I just want to formally announce that Team Amazon wins the challenge and gets first class privileges heading into our next destination. Team Victory you guys manage a second-place finish so no one from your team is going home tonight, which leaves Team Style."
Blaineley continued on "Yep, Chris and as an added twist the elimination isn't taking place in the jumbo jet, it's taking place outside here in Skaftafell National Park. Team Style, you have 3 hours to report back here for the elimination ceremony until then, everyone can hang around and talk around the park."
Most of Team Victory was heading into the plane, moving their stuff from first class back to Economy Class as Cameron walked up to Millie who was beginning to write in her journal, "So glad we came in second today. Right Millie?" Cameron asked.
"Definitely. You did a great job in the challenge today, Cameron. It would've been awful to eliminate anyone from our team today." Millie said.
"Yeah, Ezekiel, Leshawna, and I were talking and had we lost we probably would have had to eliminate Lindsay since she did so poorly in the challenge." Cameron explained.
"That makes sense, she is my friend, but there's not any strong reason to get rid of anyone on this team." Millie reasoned, but in her head her mind was racing.
Confessional- Millie
"Damien probably wouldn't have wanted to hear about Lindsay being the person likely going home. I'd like to think I'm smart enough to make sure all my friends can stay in the game. So, I need to keep this information to myself and drop it at the right time, but I can't let Cameron get caught in the crossfire as he is also my close friend."
Skaftafell National Park
In the middle of the park Zoey was shown walking back and forth talking to herself, "If Anne Maria isn't going to honor our deal, then I should just bite the bullet and ask him out. Here it goes, you're going to talk to Topher and tell him how you really feel. If he likes you back Zoey, that's great, if he rejects you, you're not going to cry and take it on the chin. I could be the biggest idiot right now." Zoey continued talking to herself. "Oh, there he is." Zoey said, noticing Topher from afar underneath a waterfall. "Wait, what is he doing?"
The scene cuts to show Topher and Anna Maria talking as Topher asks Anne Maria "Are you serious?"
Anne Maria was looking solemnly at Topher, "Yes it's true, ever since the first day here Topher. I've had some really strong feelings for you. It's always been on my mind, as have you."
Topher was admittedly shocked and caught off guard by the confession "Oh Anne Maria, that's great."
The camera panned back to Zoey, "That bitch, she beat me to it, I should have known she was never going to honor that deal. That snake."
Back with Topher and Anne Maria, Anne Maria continued on, "I wasn't originally going to say anything for the sake of our friendship and the team, but I saw how romantic this park is, and I figured, I would give it a shot since this place is so gorgeous."
"Oh, I completely understand." Topher told Anne Maria.
"So, are you willing to give this a try between us then gorgeous?" Anne Maria asked.
Topher was silent for a quick second, "... Yes, I would love to give this a try and see where this goes, as I'd be lying if I didn't feel the same way."
"Oh my gosh, this is wonderful." Anne Maria cheered out loud hugging Topher.
"Yeah…, it is, it really is." Topher said embracing the hug with his now girlfriend Anne Maria.
Zoey was watching the whole scene and started to cry, telling herself "Unbelievable."
Confessional- Zoey
"That bitch. I normally don't swear so much, but I thought Topher and I had a special connection. She asked Topher out first and beat me to the punch, I am such an idiot to assume a guy like Topher would go for a girl like me. I want Anne Maria gone so badly, I don't know when or how, but I want her gone, I can't look at her stupid face a second longer."
Another Section of The Park
At another part of the park against a couple of rocks was Duncan and Bowie talking as Bowie could sense something was bugging Duncan. "What's bothering you, now?"
"Let's see, our team lost, and after today's challenge, I think… I think I have to break up with Courtney." Duncan explained.
"Let me guess, you don't have any idea how?" Bowie asked.
"Yeah, I've never been the best at breaking up with any of my ex-girlfriends. Usually, they broke up with me." Duncan explained, reminiscing briefly on a few past relationships that ended horribly.
"Why not just be upfront with her when the time is right, but what made you want to break up with Courtney for good?" Bowie asked as Bowie noticed this was a stark difference between how Duncan was this morning.
Duncan looked over to another end of the park and saw Scott and Courtney chatting, "In today's challenge I saw how genuinely happy Courtney was with Scott and if I'm being honest Bowie, she was happier with Scott today then she was ever with me."
"Look. I will offer you more break up advice if you vote with me tonight, as I have a plan." Bowie explained as he knew the votes he needed were starting to come together.
"I'm down, and willing to help as long as you pay me back." Duncan told Bowie.
Cargo Hold
In the cargo hold Trent was pacing around, "Please have Jo leave, I can't have Jen out tonight." Trent told himself.
Duncan who was now on a mission to go along with Bowie's plan quickly made his way into the cargo hold figuring Trent would be there, "Hey Elvis, what's wrong?" Duncan asked.
Trent was inwardly startled by Duncan's presence, "Just trying to think of who to eliminate tonight as I am really nervous."
Duncan decided to have a little fun with Trent, "Aw, are you scared your new girlfriend is leaving."
"What new girlfriend, I vowed that I was not going to enter any relationships this season due to all the drama and stress it causes." Trent asked, genuinely confused.
Duncan scoffed at Trent's denial, "Dude it's obviously Jen."
Trent was shocked that his friendship with Jen was so obviously detected, and that Duncan was implying something romantic was going on, "She and I are strictly friends. What do you even want Duncan? We don't get along and neither of us like each other?"
"Look, Bowie is putting a plan together that will get rid of our team's biggest liability." Duncan explained.
"I assume you are talking about Jo?" Trent asked.
"Actually, it's not, and I think you and I both know who our team's biggest liability is after today's challenge." Duncan explained as the camera flashed away.
Elimination Ceremony
Chris was standing at the pedestal as the scene was slightly different as it was in the middle of the park, "Ah Team Style you guys are at your fourth elimination ceremony, as 13 of you will soon become an even dozen."
Confessional- Owen
"(Sighs) I'm sorry Noah, I know you want both Eva and I to stay but I am not keeping someone who will beat me up for just being a good friend."
Confessional- Eva
"This vote is simple, as Owen's an absolute dead weight."
Concessional- Alejandro
"Today is the day I get rid of the thorn in my side, Owen."
Confessional- Sky
"Jo is going home tonight as this is karma for you eliminating Dave."
Confessional- Trent
"If this means that Jen stays tonight, I'll do it for my friend even if this wasn't the vote I intended to make at the start of the day, I can't believe I'm going to try and trust Duncan, but tonight I vote to eliminate-
Back To Elimination Ceremony
"The following players are safe tonight, Noah, Brick, Julia, Alejandro, Justin, Trent, Bowie, Duncan, Sky, and Jen. All of you are safe tonight with no votes," Chris announced, giving marshmallows to each of them.
Jen was stunned that her name was called, "Wait I got zero votes."
"Yep, I didn't stutter, as you are safe." Chris said slightly annoyed.
Jen looked down and said to herself, "Thank you, thank you. I'm still here."
Julia however rolled her eyes, "She is such an absolute drama queen."
"Okay, that leaves us with Eva, Jo, and Owen, each of you step forward." Chris announced, "Each of you have very good reasons to be down here tonight, let's start with Eva."
"Me?! What the hell did I do?" Eva barked.
"You beat Owen up for not doing the challenge to your standards and before that you chased Owen in circles which may have annoyed your teammates."
Eva rolled her eyes. "Whatever, hopefully the team sees the true deadweight on this team."
"Next up is Jo. Your teammates may look at you as untrustworthy after the last elimination and while you didn't do a bad job in this challenge, is it enough to keep you around?" Chris taunted,
"I just want my damn marshmallow, Chris McLame." Jo stated angrily.
"Petty insults aside we move on to Owen, who outside of food challenges has underperformed in most of the challenges, is it time for you Owen to get eliminated tonight?"
Owen's stomach grumbled, "I really hope not, as I love having these marshmallows return. I love them."
"Alright, 3 of you stand before me. The next player safe is…... Jo." Chris announced,
At that announcement both Sky and Julia's jaws dropped, "How, how is she safe?" Sky asked.
Julia was also confused, "Everyone told me she was going to be the easy consensus boot." Julia explained.
Noah also had the sudden realization that his two closest allies in Eva and Owen were in the bottom 2 and he would be down to only one ally after tonight, "This can't be happening."
"The final marshmallow goes too….
…
….
…..
…..
…
…..
…..
…
….. Owen." Chris announced as Eva was left stunned, "Eva you have officially been eliminated from Total Drama World Race."
"Why, why the hell am I the one voted out?" Eva asked in anger.
Brick was the first to speak up, "The stunt you pulled today was just unprofessional and immature."
Duncan was the next one to speak, "We have enough physical help between Sky, Jo, Brick, Alejandro and even myself and all of us have our emotions in check."
Eva in a huff of anger spat out, "Fine. Whatever. Good luck winning challenges without me, lord knows you'll need it." Eva then walked away in anger.
Chris was waiting for Eva to kick his shins, but luckily for him, Eva just walked away, "Well that should do it for the night, shockingly Eva getting eliminated was more mellow than I expected. For the remaining dozen of you that are left on this team, I wish you all good luck, or at least for your sake a lack of elimination."
Confessional- Justin
"So, Bowie and I decided that we decided to get rid of Eva due to no one sans Noah caring for her, and we both have picked up on Alejandro hating Owen, and even before Brick told us about Eva and Owen's little fight, we were going to send her home. But Eva sealed the deal with her outburst."
Confessional- Bowie
"I wanted to keep Jo around as a distraction for Julia as I don't trust her, and Alejandro will stay distracted with wanting Owen out. Meanwhile Justin and I stay out of the spotlight pulling the strings."
Confessional- Jen
"I am shocked that Bowie's plan worked, he didn't even give me a name, I just assumed if it was not me or Jo, it would be Eva, but I didn't really think she was leaving. From now on, I just need to lay low."
Confessional- Noah
"Damn it, damn it. Now all my alliance is, it's just Owen and me. I've lost Lorenzo, Izzy, Dave and now even Eva. I need to figure out how to navigate this storm and I need a plan fast."
Confessional- Julia
"It's honestly cute that people expect me to play their games and plans. I was willing to go after Jo. But if people are gonna spare her and leave me out of the majority, yeah no, that is not happening, and they don't know anything about me. Jo is not my enemy now, she sure as heck isn't, my friend, but it's the oldest trick to pin people against each other. But I'm not falling for that. That group that took Eva out isn't strong at all and I plan to make it crumble."
Closing Of Episode
Chris was standing out in the park closing out the episode, "Damn, Julia is vowing revenge. With Eva gone, how will Noah navigate having another ally taken out, how will Jo handle this second chance. Find out all this and more next time on Total Drama World Race, McLean out!"

Notes:
Thus ends another chapter and Eva is out.
First of all, going into this chapter I quickly realized each task couldn't be made into an individual challenge, so I decided to turn the challenge into everyone in the cast doing one part of the challenge.
Now for each challenge I wanted to make sure none of the part had too many people. As for the Icelandic phrase, I am well aware it isn't the exact same as it was in Ridonculous Race, but I wanted it to be simpler and not exactly Icelandic.
This was a chapter, story wise I wanted the main focus to be on the dynamics still, especially on Team Style. Main focuses being on Bowie, Jen, and to a lesser extent people like Justin, Duncan, Julia, and Jo.
Now onto the eliminated contestant and this time it's Eva. I will say heading into this season I initially had Eva making the Top 30 at least. However, around the time I eliminated Sadie, I was quickly realizing that Eva was someone I was taking way too far and my storyline with her wasn't really coming together, and there were much better and interesting stories emerging in Team Style. So her placement kept falling until it landed here. I ultimately decided to have her be the next person eliminated in Noah's alliance and to continue that arc of that failed alliance.
Now for eliminating her, I knew I wanted her anger to re-emerge and to have Owen be the one to unknowingly provoke her. But when sorting out the votes I needed to make sure that it was Eva and Owen as the bottom 3, especially with how the vote was hinted at without saying a name, but knowing it wasn't Jo. Hence the 7-3-3 vote.
Next challenge is the Rio De Janeiro chapter, and without giving too much away, this chapter will definitely be a subversion of what the challenge was in canon, new bonds will be formed, and a dramatic elimination takes place.
Until next time, please give me feedback, how I can improve, and overall thoughts on this chapter. Thank you so much.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Brazilian Pain Forest
Recap
The episode began with Chris in his pilot outfit, "Previously on Total Drama World Race. Our competitors competed in Iceland with a choice of three challenges, either feast, fossil, or phrase."
Blaineley was the next one narrating "For Team Amazon, Scott told Courtney he was now willing to send Heather out. While Cody told Mickey about his theory that Emma and Kitty are sisters, yes, I know that sounds absolutely insane, but regardless. Team Amazon dominated the challenge and secured an easy first place win and a new couple was formed with Anne Maria and Topher much to Zoey's chagrin."
"Elsewhere on Team Victory, Leshawna was being tempted by Alejandro and was left confused, while Cameron revealed his rocky relationship with his mother to Millie, meanwhile Shawn and Brody's brains were fried as Jasmine and Geoff decided to take their part in the challenge." Chris narrated. "Lindsay struggled in the challenge but managed to eek out a second place finish for her team."
Blaineley was the next to speak up, "However for Team Style they managed to lose the challenge and overall had a total slum of a day. Despite a strong finish Eva came back and threatened to beat up former teammate Owen, a new bond was formed with Bowie and Justin with Bowie deciding if he should save team outsider Jo, Team Style ultimately lost the challenge when Jen couldn't quite get herself focused on the challenge after an awkward encounter with Trent." Blaineley said as the recap showed each of these events.
Chris finished the recap, "At elimination however Jen completely avoided even getting any votes as Bowie took advantage of Eva's outburst against Owen, and sent Eva packing and kept Jo still in the game. However Julia, wondering if this move was against her so she and Jo can keep targeting each other, vowed to find out who was responsible for leaving her out of the vote and making that group crumble.." The scene then flashed to the pilot compartment, "We are down to 39 competitors and this plane is ready for take off, who will be the next camper sent home. Find out tonight on Total Drama World Race!"

Common Area
The episode kicks off showing Owen and Noah sitting next to each other at the table, with Owen having a guilty look while Noah looked like he didn't care, "Are you sure buddy, that you're not mad at me voting Eva out tonight?" Owen asked in concern
Noah rolled his eyes, annoyed at his best friend for asking this for the now 5th time since the elimination ended, "Owen, I'm not mad, the votes were already there to send Eva out. Besides she also voted for you." Noah explained as Julia walked by both of them, "Now her, I think she's mad."
"Oh definitely." Owen said in agreement.
Julia, who heard Noah and Owen, turned around to face them, "I'm fine, why don't you mind your business, Noah." Julia said in a rare bout of anger, that shocked both Owen and Noah.
"What's wrong with her?" Owen asked.
Confessional- Julia
"Ugh, that stupid egghead Noah is right, I'm annoyed and quite frankly pissed off about that last vote. Jo was supposed to go home, and now she's here, just perfect. I am going to find out who orchestrated this whole thing, and I have an idea of who would be willing to squeal."
Back To Scene
Julia had made her way to the end of the common area where Brick was eating food by himself, Brick who noticed her looked up, "How are you doing Madam Julia?" Brick politely asked.
Julia looked around the room, the only people in the common area were Owen and Noah having a conversation and were too focused on it to notice anything else, Tyler and Lindsay who were making out, and Millie who was looking out the window. Realizing no one was paying attention to her, decided to let the facade slip, and kicked Brick right in the shins. Despite Brick being physically tough, the attack caught him completely off guard, "What was that for?" Brick asked in shock.
Julia deepened her scowl at Brick, "You can stop acting so innocent. I know you voted Eva out." Julia accused.
Brick nervously looked around, before deciding that being honest was the best route to go, "Okay I did, but I don't see what the problem is."
Julia however was not satisfied with the answer, "That's not good enough Cadet." Julia taunted as she stepped on Brick's foot as hard as she could.
Brick yelped out in pain, "Physically abusing me won't change anything. What do you want?" Brick asked, as he was scared of what Julia was doing.
"Who spearheaded the vote to send Eva home tonight, and I want names or else I will keep hurting you until you snitch." Julia threatened.
"I am not telling you." Brick said looking away, trying to get the conversation to end.
Julia decided that being the bad cop was officially getting her nowhere, so she had to be good cop, or at least good cop in her eyes, "Aw but Brick you shouldn't go against your code of honor and honesty now should you. So, tell me. Or I will make you sleep in the pitch-black tonight." Julia threatened.
"You wouldn't? Okay fine, Bowie wanted to target Eva, he gathered the votes I think, he told me that he wanted Jo to stay and that out of Owen and Eva, he would rather see Eva eliminated." Brick explained.
Julia, satisfied with Brick's answer, told Brick, "Thank you Brick, good to know you are an honest player." Julia then walked away, thinking of how to use this information to her advantage.
Brick, looking back at his food, simply sighed "I hope I don't regret this."
Economy Class
In another part within Economy Class, the camera focused on Harold and Leshawna who were cuddling with Ezekiel walking up to both of them, "Aw looks like the happy couple is doing well aren't they, eh." Ezekiel teased.
Harold, who was flushed with embarrassment, stood up from Leshawna to talk to Ezekiel, "Things are going well, I guess. Ezekiel." Harold said as Leshawna began walking away, however the more Harold thought of it, he decided that since Ezekiel already knew about him and Leshawna, he could be honest with him. "Nah, I am actually the happiest I have been, things with Leshawna are amazing."
Ezekiel admittedly was very happy for Harold "Aw dude, eh, that's awesome."
"It is, it really is, but Leshawna and I have agreed to keep it on the down low, I mean the only reason you know is well..." Harold said trailing off,
"Because I saw you guys cuddling a few days ago, and you don't have to stress eh, I haven't said a word to anyone, not even Cameron knows anything." Ezekiel reassured. "I'm really happy for you."
"Thanks. Zeke." Harold said. "Look we aren't friends yet, but this does mean a lot.
Confessional- Harold
"How are things going in the game? They are going great. Team Victory is on a winning streak, I have the girl of my dreams in Leshawna, and it couldn't be better. Provided one caveat of us being together was me trying to befriend Ezekiel after everything that happened in New York, and he and I are getting along pretty well, we also have an agreement to not target each other or our number one ally in the game, for me it's obviously Leshawna, and for Ezekiel it's Cameron."
Confessional- Ezekiel
"I have to admit eh, it was nerve wracking at first trying to become friends with Harold, but it seems like he is willing to open up with me, and it's nice. We aren't friends like he said eh, but maybe we will be soon."
Back To Scene
"Wait, where did Leshawna go?" Harold asked looking around confused,
Millie, who was just walking into the Economy Class section, spoke up, "She told me she wanted some alone time in the cargo hold, probably to destress and vent."
"Can't blame her, this game is stressful, eh" Ezekiel lamented.
Cargo Hold
In said cargo hold Leshawna was walking around, wondering about her position within Team Victory, she had her final 2 with Harold that was now a relationship, she still got along with Bridgette and Lindsay, and with them comes Tyler, and even if Bridgette and Geoff are broken up, she felt safe with Geoff and Brody. She also felt like all of the newbies on her team got along with her. "This will work out." Leshawna told herself.
As she was walking around, Alejandro came down to talk to her, having overheard Millie. He was still trying to figure out how much use he could have with Leshawna, "Ah the lovely Leshawna, I was just walking around here, wondering if anyone was down here. Once I saw you, I knew I had to talk to you." Alejandro told Leshawna.
"Oh I'm flattered, sweet cheeks, but we're on different teams." Leshawna reasoned.
"Oh, but I'm a gentleman and teams are meaningless to me." Alejandro confidently said, as Leshawna blushed at the comment.
Leshawna however knew she needed to get away from Alejandro, "I have to go somewhere else, it's not you. But I've been here for a while." Leshawna said quickly walking away.
Confessional- Leshawna
"Ah Alejandro he's good and he is so good looking. (Pauses) But I am already dating Harold now and I don't want to date two people as I am not a damn player. But Harold and I have agreed that besides Ezekiel no one else can know about us being together, it's just so complicated. I don't know."
Confessional- Alejandro
"Ah Leshawna, she's hiding something, I can tell. I'll find out about it sooner than later and use it however I deem fit."
First Class
In the First-Class section of the plane, the camera showed Katie and Ella in the middle of a conversation, "So let me get this straight, you joined an arts and craft school so you could make you and Sadie's outfit from scratch?" Ella asks.
"Right! It's probably the thing I am most proud of." Katie gleamed before sighing. "I just hope she's doing okay."
"You really miss her, don't you? Ella asked giving Katie a rub on the shoulder to comfort her.
"Ugh, more than anything. We've known each other for as long as I can remember" Katie said sadly looking out the window,
"I'm sure she would want you to stay strong and keep fighting. I know I'm not Sadie, but I've been a good replacement friend for you, right?" Ella once again asked.
"You have, it just never gets easier, as this is now the longest, we've been away from each other as if I survive today it will officially be the longest, we haven't seen each other," Katie reasoned. "There was a part of me this morning that wanted to throw the challenge just so I could be reunited with her."
Ella looked at Katie sadly, before an idea seemed to pop into her mind, "Instead of throwing the challenge, use this day as a redemption type of thing. Show everyone that you can do anything on your own, and trust me, Sadie will be proud of you no matter what." Ella said, giving Katie a pep talk.
Katie and Ella hugged as Katie was starting to regain confidence, however Katie also looked out of the window and noticed something, "Hey guys, not to alarm anyone but I think we're still in Iceland. I still see the park. Shouldn't we have taken off by now for the next destination"
Heather, who was walking by both Katie and Ella had a huge scowl on her face, "We should have, and I am gonna give Chris and Blaineley a piece of my mind."
Katie and Ella both looked at each other in slight worry as Heather looked really angry. "Uh oh." Ella said in fear.
Outside The Plane
As all 39 contestants stepped out of the plane everyone was confused, with Heather asking what was on everyone's mind, "Why the hell is there another plane here?"
"Also why is it exactly like the tub of a junk plane we already ride in?" Anne Maria asked.
Blaineley and Chris quickly stepped into the scene so no one would ask any more questions, "It plays a role in today's challenge."
"Yep, the Total Drama jumbo jet is back in action, but we along with Don Strauss decided that not everyone is riding on the jet." Chris explained as the mention of Don Strauss and his name made Scott and Topher think in deep thought.
"So are we having a triple elimination today or something?" Julia asked.
"No, no one's going home, yet. Today's destination is Brazil, specifically Rio De Janeiro." Chris announced as many people cheered.
"Fun fact, Brazil is home of bossa nova music, and coffee." Harold stated.
"Ooh a coffee contest would be awesome." Damien bemoaned.
"Easy there Damien, this challenge has nothing to do with coffee but by the end of it you may want some with how tired you'll be." Blaineley stated, trying to get everyone interested in the challenge. "Now each team will have duos on the other plane aka the milk run." At the mention of the milk run Mickey gulped in absolute fear. "Luckily for you guys we have decided on the duos." which for the time being that relaxed Mickey's nerves.
Chris spoke up next, "Yep. Our first duo is Bridgette and Shawn." Bridgette was relieved as she figured with the plane being called Milk Run that it would involve animals. Shawn wasn't as thrilled as he was mostly healed from electrocuting himself a couple days ago, but he was still having lingering anger from the DJ elimination. "Team Style's duo will be Duncan and Justin." Neither Justin nor Duncan was happy about being paired up, as the two didn't get along well last season, and while they had voted together in the past there was no trust between them. "Our final duo is Zoey and Mickey." Chris announced. For Zoey she was happy to be able to spend most of this challenge by herself after everything that happened yesterday with Anne-Maria and Topher.
Unfortunately, the same couldn't be said for Mickey who instantly froze in fear, "Oh boy." was all he could say as he was scared that his lactose intolerance was going to be in full effect today 'I'm screwed' Mickey thought to himself.
"Okay now that the milk run duos are established the rest of us are going to finally depart from Iceland in the regular plane and explain the other parts of the challenge." Blaineley said as she began escorting everyone back into the plane.
"Milk Run plane, your plane won't take off for another couple of hours. Everyone else get back on the plane."
Confessional- Bridgette
"I am fine working with Shawn for this challenge despite us not having much in common. But I wanted to maybe lead the team to victory today. But we will be fine today, I hope."
Confessional- Duncan
"I have to spend the whole day with Justin. (Sarcastically) Great, I'm thrilled in case you can't tell. (Back to normal tone) Yes, he and I have voted together to get rid of everyone who has left the team so far. I mean we're not Noah who has only voted Lorenzo out. We don't have anything in common and we haven't actually talked to each other since last season when he was eliminated. But I do want to ask him about Bowie as he is the only thing we have in common, and I'm confused about their friendship."
Confessional- Mickey
"I'm actually interested in spending time with Zoey today, as outside of the Yukon challenge, she and I haven't gotten to really know each other, mainly because I am always making sure Cody's okay and isn't getting harassed by Sierra, while she has love goggles for Topher. It's just the idea of being on a milk run has me nervous since I'm lactose intolerant and not having either Cody or Kitty with me doesn't help."
Original Total Drama Jumbo Jet
Back in the regular plane, specifically in the common area, Chris was announcing the challenge "The theme of today's challenge is centered around Carnevale."
Lindsay instinctively raised her hand in confusion "We're all going to a car show?"
Damien facepalmed at what Lindsay just said and spoke up, "No Lindsay. It's the Rio Carnivale, not a car show."
"I've read up on this, it's a very festive activity-" Cameron began to say until Chris interrupted him with a loud cough.
"If there are no more interruptions I would like to continue. This is actually a huge challenge and will be divided into groups. Each team has to have dancers, costumes and a decorated animal to show off for the day." Chris explained.
"Does this mean we'll have to wrestle animals or something disgusting like that?" Heather asked as Scott shrugged his shoulders at her question while Ella looked disgusted at that notion.
"No, I'm still getting complaints and lawsuits from people after I shot the eagle during Season 1. Hence why the milk run plane is here, that is where the animals are."
"You shot an eagle?!" Ella asked in fear and disgust.
Milk Run Plane
The show flashed to show Chef with each of the 3 duos, "Your role in this challenge to Brazil is to pick an animal and decorate them for what we have planned tonight for the challenge, when we land in Rio De Janeiro you will shop for material to decorate your animal. Oh, and the designs have to be legal, Duncan!" Chef yelled out.
"You don't have anything to worry about." Duncan replied back in snark.
"Anyways, you guys will have 3 hours to shop and another couple to decorate." Chef explained. "Animals are first come, first serve for each duo so have at it while I get ready to fly this sucker," Chef explained.
Almost immediately Duncan and Justin claimed the goat, "This is perfect, I have a lot of ideas for this little devil." Duncan said in a sinister tone before the goat headbutted Duncan. "That's smarts."
"Ha, you had it coming jerk." Justin said.
Bridgette and Shawn walked up to claim the sheep, which left Zoey and Mickey with the cow, as Mickey said to himself "Oh boy."
Zoey overhearing Mickey raised her eyebrows, "Is something wrong? You look nervous at least more than usual. Not that there's anything wrong with being nervous." Zoey defended.
"I'm just nervous, that is all, I have severe lactose intolerance so I wonder if being near the cow will trigger it. Nothing has happened yet so maybe this will be okay" Mickey explained, trying to calm down.
"Well, we've claimed the cow, so we don't have to be near it at least." Zoey told Mickey as both walked into a separate room.
"As long as I am away from that thing, I should be okay." Mickey stated.
Main Plane
Back at the regular plane Chris was continuing to explain the challenge, "Each team has a dance leader and a fashion designer leader today, the dance instructors are Heather, Bowie, and Leshawna"
Heather cheered "Perfect. This is amazing!"
Leshawna was also very happy, "Woohoo, I've always wanted to teach my dancing skills, this can't be any better," she said happily.
Jasmine walked up to Leshawna, inspired by her boost of confidence, "Someone is ready to lead this team." Geoff, who was next to both of them, tapped Jasmine on the shoulder, "What's up mate?"
"Leshawna's dancing is notoriously bad." Geoff explained which made Jasmine raise her eyebrows in doubt while Leshawna rolled her eyes in annoyance, that people still doubted her dancing skills.
Chris coughed loudly to get everyone's attention "Anyways, our fashion designers are Katie, Jen, and Lindsay."
At both of them being announced Jen and Lindsay, both grabbed each other and squealed in happiness, "OMG!" both said at the same time, which annoyed everyone who wasn't them or Trent and Tyler.
"I have so many potential visions for this, I am so excited, ah!" Lindsay said as she couldn't keep her excitement under control.
"This was destiny for me to do this." Jen stated.
Katie meanwhile didn't have much of a reaction, on account of her nerves coming up, and her being now in the spotlight with the challenge, something that Ella noticed "Are you okay?" Ella asked.
"I'm fine. Totally, absolutely, amazingly fine, like totally." Katie said, trying to convince herself, but not doing a good job of doing so at all.
"Now for the rest of you. The fashion models for Team Amazon that Katie will be designing on will be Sierra, Anne Maria, Topher and Ella." Chris announced.
"See, this will be great, we get to spend the challenge together Katie." Ella cheered as Katie still looked terrified at what she had to do.
"Team Style, your models are Trent, Alejandro, Brick, and Jo."
"Ugh, I don't do dresses or fashion at all." Jo said in utter annoyance, halfway expecting anyone to say something at her remark. But she did take pleasure in having Alejandro being forced to dress up as well.
"Team Victory, your models are Tyler, Brody, Damien, and Millie. Now for the sit-outs for today's challenge Team Victory the person sitting out is Ezekiel"
"Woo-hoo!" Ezekiel cheered before noticing people like Jasmine, Leshawna, and Damien glaring at him. "Sorry, it's just that I would be awful at this challenge."
"We'll forgive you this time mate." Jasmine said.
"The two people sitting out for Team Amazon are Scott and Emma." Chris explained. "Which leaves Cody, Kitty, Gwen, and Courtney as the dancers for Team Amazon, the dancers for Team Style are Owen, Noah, Julia, and Sky, with Team Victory, your dancers being Geoff, Jasmine, Harold, and Cameron."
"I have to take instructions from her?" Gwen and Courtney yelled at the same time pointing at Heather as Heather had a smug look on her face.
"Oh this challenge is perfect." Heather bloated.
"Now time for the twist." Chris continued on.
"What else could we do for this challenge?" Brick asked.
"Well, what's a dance number without music, but the teams won't pick their own numbers. Heather picks the song for Team Victory, Leshawna picks for Team Style, and Bowie picks for Team Amazon. However, fashion designers, you will pick one of your models to sing said song. To the best or worst of their abilities. Any final questions?" Chris asked as no one raised their hands "Great. Blaineley, turn the autopilot off." Chris announced, as he ran back to the pilot compartment to help Blaineley with the plane.
Confessional- Gwen
"Great, I have to do a dance number today, even though I have no coordination? Perfect. Yep, today is hell, not helping is that Heather is the person I have to take orders from. But I do have Cody in the challenge with me today, so I can ask if he still has a crush on me, since it seems like ever since Egypt he and I don't talk anymore, and I want Scott to not remind me of him. Would be great if Scott would be here, as he told me has a plan to get rid of Heather but since he is sitting out, I can't talk to him about the plan. Oh, and also Duncan isn't here. Today is gonna be awful. Because he is a good friend to have around, yup. That's it."
Confessional- Sierra
(Tearfully) "The universe must absolutely hate me at this point. Ever since the Yukon, I never get pure 1 on 1 time with Cody, instead, I am stuck with Katie designing me an outfit. I am just going to be quiet today, as I am not with the man who should be with me."
Confessional- Lindsay
"I know that people usually complain here, I think, but oh my gosh this challenge is one I am so excited for. I get to show my fashion to the world. My sister Paula always says I have bad taste, but I will show her."
Confessional- Jen
"The universe must be out to protect me or something, first I get no votes after I messed up the last challenge, now I get a borderline fashion challenge to redeem myself. This day could go absolutely perfectly. I just have to play it perfectly. Which I will, trust me."
Milk Run Plane
Back in the milk run plane, Zoey and Mickey were sitting on the ground in an awkward silence. Neither had much in common and Zoey's mind was elsewhere as she looked sadly at the ground. "What's wrong Zoey? You've been unresponsive for the last hour or so." Mickey asked.
"It's nothing, I doubt you would understand." Zoey said looking anywhere that wasn't directly at Mickey.
"Does it have to do with Topher?" Mickey asked which made Zoey start to grow a frown on her face at the mention of the guy she so badly wanted to date, "Oh looks like it might be." Mickey said unaware that he was making Zoey grow increasingly angry.
"I just don't want to talk about it." Zoey said, trying to get the conversation elsewhere.
Mickey however didn't pick up on Zoey's cue, and continued on, "We're probably spending the whole day together so we might as well talk and get to know each other."
Zoey however was quickly growing impatient and something in her snapped and she said something she would instantly regret, as she towered over Mickey as she stood up, "Why the heck do you care Mickey, you've probably never been in love, so you don't know how I feel and will probably never will know how I feel as you have never been in love and never will be!" Zoey said as she yelled at Mickey, before instinctively covering her mouth realizing she went too far. "Oh, I'm sorry… I didn't mean too-" Zoey began to say.
However, Mickey simply stood up and calmly spoke to her, "There's a reason why beyond my adversities why I am not the best at being in love or having strong feelings, but I'll leave you alone for the rest of the day and spend the day with the cow. At least it won't insult me. You went too far." Mickey said as he walked away.
Zoey was left in a state of shock and confusion, "I went way too far, didn't I?" Zoey asked herself as she sat back down in shame and contemplated everything she just said.
Meanwhile
In the main part of the milk plane Justin and Duncan were watching after their goat, or rather Justin was as Duncan didn't want the goat to attack him again. "This may be the worst smell I've ever had to deal with on the show." Justin bemoaned.
"Really dude, the stink bombs last season would probably want a word with you, that shit stank worse than Owen's farts." Duncan said.
The remembrance of the spy challenge and the stink bomb admittedly got Justin to laugh at that memory, "Heh, that's true. I have never told Bowie about how that whole thing went. He would be grossed out."
"Why would you tell Bowie about it?" Duncan asked, trying to pry into Justin and Bowie's blooming friendship.
"What does it matter to you, Duncan, you're the last person to try and pry into someone's life after how tumultuous your relationship is with Courtney." Justin instantly snapped back, not wanting to give Duncan any satisfaction. "You and Courtney are toxic together."
"Well, we aren't talking about Courtney and me. I wanna talk about you and Bowie." Duncan said, trying to deflect the conversation away from him.
"Here, I will talk about Bowie and I, if you are willing to talk about you and Courtney." Justin smugly offered, which Duncan just looked away clearly not interested in talking about Courtney. "That's what I thought, now shut up before the goat attacks you again."
Confessional- Duncan
"See this is why I can't stand Justin at all. He is a rude, arrogant, annoying pretty boy who thinks his shit doesn't stink. Just the way he was defending Bowie, is Justin (pause) no he can't be, right?"
Amazon Dance Studio
The challenge was underway as everyone delved into their parts of the challenge, the filmed episode picked up on Team Amazon's dance studio with the scene beginning with Heather "Okay everyone needs to listen up, for once, I am the one in charge."
"For once?" Courtney said in absolute bewilderment. "This is your first leadership role where you didn't force it down others."
"Do you have a problem?" Heather smugly asked.
"Nope, I'm just going to let you, and your delusional self, keep barking orders." Courtney sarcastically said.
"I'll have you know this type of challenge is something that I can actually be good at. Given my background in ballet dancing." Heather explained.
"I don't know a ton, but I am pretty sure ballet dancing and Carnivale are not even remotely similar." Gwen said.
"While true, I have a fair amount of knowledge in dancing in general and if I had to take a guess for Bowie, he is gonna do some girly romantic song given our team's layout." Heather explained.
"So, what is it that you're trying to get at?" Gwen impatiently asked. "You need to stop being so damn vague."
"Well, if Bowie goes for something romantic, we have to do a slow dance type and Cody will have to be our main dancer, since he is our only guy. So, I was thinking of having Kitty and Cody do a romantic slow dance with you Gwen, and Courtney as backup dancers." Heather explained
"That's not actually a bad idea." Gwen said in amazement, shocked she was agreeing with Heather, which was becoming a recurring thing.
"Wait, wait, Kitty and I aren't together, in that way." Cody defensively said, as he looked embarrassed and blushed.
"Well, duh, nerd. But Kitty is the person you spend the most time with so it will feel the most real even if it isn't. You guys trust each other so this should come naturally for both of you" Heather reasoned. "Besides I assume that Courtney and Gwen don't want to be the main dancer?"
"Oh gosh no, I would only want to dance with Sco… Duncan. I only want to dance with Duncan." Courtney quickly corrected, wondering why to herself, she almost said Scott.
"Also, I don't have good coordination at all." Gwen reasoned.
"But…. but… but…" Cody said until Kitty put a hand on his shoulder, to calm him down.
"Don't worry this could be fun, and we are both secure in our friendship with each other that this won't change anything." Kitty said as Cody looked redder than a tomato in embarrassment.
"Okay then it's settled then, Cody and Kitty slow dance, Gwen and Courtney provide support." Heather instructed as she began to walk away.
"Wait, what about the song you have to pick for Team Victory? Do you have an idea for that one?" Kitty asked.
"It's already covered." Heather said.
Team Victory Dance Studio
At Team Victory's dance studio Leshawna was walking around pacing as Harold spoke up, "What's wrong Leshawna?"
"Just trying to think of what song Heather is going to make Tyler sing." Leshawna explained. "She is probably going to screw me over."
Cameron was the next to speak up, "Why would we have Tyler be the singer, and why would Heather screw us over? Didn't you both get along at the end of last season?" He asked in all sincerity.
Leshawna chuckled, remembering that Cameron was a newbie, before quickly realizing that she and Heather had made amends during the second season and no one outside of herself and Harold knew why she had begun hating Heather again. Leshawna took a deep breath and decided to explain "Well Tyler's probably going to be our singer because Lindsay's picking who our singer is, and she'll obviously pick her boyfriend. As for Heather and I? We were fine until she started picking on my girl Gwen during the whole blog stuff. I still feel bad that I was too busy to help her out. But Heather crossed a line doing that, so why should I be nice to her?"
"That's true." Cameron reasoned. "But let's not be rash."
"She won't, she's Leshawna!" Harold said in awe.
"Look, that's not too important, we need to focus on the dance routine so everyone should follow my lead." Leshawna said as she began dancing.
Unfortunately, her dancing from Season 2 hadn't improved at all as everyone sans Harold looked on in almost pure disgust at Leshawna dancing, as Jasmine leaned over to Geoff and whispered in his ear," You were right mate."
"I know." Geoff said looking away.
Team Style Dance Studio
"Ugh, I have no concrete ideas or themes for this dance number, I know the basics, but I don't have a great idea. If I had a suggestion partner up, I guess. Probably Owen and Noah as a duo and same with Sky and Julia. I'll think of some basics but right now I have to submit the song for Team Amazon. I'll be right back." Bowie explained.
As Bowie left the room, Owen asked what all of them were thinking "Does Bowie have an idea what he's doing?"
"Nope, none at all. Come on big guy, let's get some of the basics, I had to go to one of my sibling's ballet practices growing up." Noah explained as he and Owen walked away.
Julia decided to once again let her more vicious side show, as she said, "Not shocked Bowie has no idea as he is a total snake and a liar."
Sky who had just overheard what Julia just said had a shocked look on her face, "What the hell are you thinking? Insulting Bowie behind his back? He's, our teammate."
"Just venting, and while he's our teammate he is my enemy, he left us both out of the Eva vote so I can't trust him as I was told he orchestrated that vote." Julia stated.
"Look, even if he did all that, we can still be nice." Sky tried to reason. "We are all teammates."
Julia however continued on, "I will be nice to his face, but I don't have to be nice behind his back. Besides he betrayed me, so I am never working with him again in this game. So, I don't need to pretend to be nice to him at all."
"Isn't that a very black and white way of looking at things?" Sky asked, confused.
"Heh, I'm sorry but weren't you the one who said you were never working with Jo after she sent Dave home." Julia accused.
"Yeah. Look outside of you, Dave was my closest ally and Jo directly sent him home. I don't believe you spoke more than 10 words to Eva." Sky said as now both were practicing basic dancing steps simultaneously.
"But when you're left out of a vote like I was for the first time you are at the bottom like we are right now." Julia explained before Sky interrupted her.
"Wait first time? This is both of our second times out of the votes as the Dave vote was either him or Alejandro and there wasn't a third option, and we both voted out Alejandro" Sky began to reason,
Julia quickly recognized her mistake and had to correct herself, "I meant two times, gosh Sky, have a little faith in your ally." Julia said, in a snarky tone leaving Sky more confused than ever.
"What is her problem?" Sky wondered.
Fashion Design Room Team Amazon
In the fashion room for Team Amazon, Katie had worked out the design for her team and was putting the costume on Ella first as the two girls were talking, "Are you sure you want me to pick you for the singing portion? I know that singing is your thing, but I want to make sure you're comfortable doing this."
"Oh of course I'm comfortable. I've got this. Actually, I am very well versed in music knowledge, I have genres I prefer but I'm a wealth of music knowledge in most genres, pop, rock, R&B, country, hip hop, you name it, I have some background in it, I obviously prefer fairytale soundtracks, but I will be fine." Ella reassured Katie.
Katie was starting to feel at ease with Ella reassuring her and breathed a sigh of relief. "You must be the female Trent." Katie joked.
"Trent, who's that?" Ella asked.
"The guitar guy on Team Style, the one who is always talking with that girl with the great fashion sense, Jen. He is so cute." Katie said giggling,
"Aw, does someone have a crush on Mr. Guitar guy?" Ella asked, teasing back.
"Yes and no. It's a bit complicated. Trent used to date Gwen, but they broke up last season, so Sadie and I wanted him to date either of us so badly, but he just wanted friendship with us, which while hard to an extent, I understand." Katie explained.
"Huh, Gwen never told me she dated Trent." Ella said.
This statement however threw Katie completely off guard, as she never saw Gwen and Ella interact. "Why would Gwen tell you about her dating Trent? I have never seen you guys talk."
Ella realized she messed up, but since it was only her and Katie in the room and she trusted Katie, she decided to tell her, "Well the thing is, Gwen is my cousin." Ella confessed.
"Oh wow. Oh my gosh I had no idea." Katie said excitedly. "Don't worry I won't tell anybody. Anyways, you are singing for our team and I bet Trent would be singing for Team Style."
"That's exciting as I've never heard him sing in a professional setting. I never paid attention to the Drama Brothers singing, but if I somehow got the chance I would love to talk with Trent."
"That's the spirit. You guys would be great together even as friends. I wonder what Trent is doing right now?" Katie asked as the camera flashed away.
Fashion Design Room Team Style
In the design room for Team Style was Jen getting proper measurements on Trent and focusing on the challenge at hand, "Okay that's it for the wingspan. Trent, can you spread your legs out so I can get your leg measurements?"
Trent quickly did as one could tell Trent was enjoying having this one-on-one time with Jen, he was unsure about Duncan's words the night before about him and Jen, but right in the moment he felt happy. "Yes Jen. You know I'm amazed with how serious you are taking this."
Jen rolled her eyes before continuing with the tape measure getting both legs as Trent yelped in pain, "Thanks. Now stand up straight!" Jen demanded.
Jen's competitive nature threw Trent off, "Why are you so focused on the challenge? We don't have to be judged for a few more hours?"
"Look, first of all my last challenge performance was a disaster so today is my redemption. Second of all I take fashion very seriously and if I mess this up, I might as well kiss my fashion blog goodbye as I want to in the future be a fashion designer and clothing maker."
"Aw, Jen, that's so cool." Trent awed as he kept making the necessary poses for Jen to help her with the challenge.
Jen however took what Trent said the wrong way and grew angrier. "It's cool that I'm panicking about my reputation within the fashion industry?"
"No, it's cool that you have your future all planned out and what you want to do in life. I would never say it's a good thing to see you stressed out." Trent explained.
For a brief moment there was an awkward silence that filled the room until Jen had her determined face back on, "I just need to focus."
"Oh okay." Trent said sadly.
Team Victory Fashion Room
With Team Victory the camera showed Lindsay and Millie with Lindsay looking excitedly at all her options "Mildred, this is such an exciting challenge for me as everyone kept saying I have great fashion sense and now I can put my money where my head is." Lindsay gladly exclaimed.
"Sure, but Lindsay, are you sure the colors of orange and pink as feathers go well together?" Millie asked as she was really nervous.
"It's so great hanging out with you since Beth is gone. I don't have many close female friends, it's like hanging out with my sisters where each of us pick each other's dresses and my sisters would pick my dress. But now I get to show everyone the Lindsay style." Lindsay cheered out, ignoring Millie's question.
"That's great Lindsay, hey unrelated but are you all done?" Millie asked.
"Yep, show the guys how I did Mallory! By the way, it's Danny's turn." Lindsay said, clueless how uncomfortable Millie was with the costume.
As Millie left the room, she mumbled to herself, "She somehow got my name wrong twice. I sure hope we win." Millie then noticed that Damien, Brody, and Tyler were all wincing at the sight. "Is it really bad?"
"Well, uh," Brody began to say until Tyler put his hands on his mouth.
"Nope, it's fine." Tyler quickly stated, as he knew Brody was going to accidentally hurt Lindsay's feelings.
"What?" Brody asked.
"I am not hurting Lindsay's feelings; I would never do that to her." Tyler told Brody.
"Oh, okay dudes, I guess so." Brody said in an unsure tone.
Confessional- Tyler
"I love Lindsay, I really do, but once the season is done, I may steer her away from fashion school. But for now, I don't want to hurt her feelings and luckily the others agreed as well."
Milk Run Plane
Back over at the Milk Run plane, the plane had just landed as the camera showed Mickey running at a breakneck pace "Make way. I have an emergency!"
Zoey, Bridgette and Shawn walked out of the plane "That has to stink for you guys. Possibly literally." Bridgette noted.
"Everything's fine, I'm just going to have to do this challenge all by myself. But it could be worse." Zoey said, trying to make the most of a less than desirable situation. As all 3 of Zoey, Shawn, and Bridgette began working on the challenge with their respective animals.
Meanwhile Mickey was shown knocking on the door of a local bathroom frantically "Who can be hogging a whole bathroom?" Mickey screamed out as the camera panned to show the inside of the bathroom had a group of ducks applying makeup. Mickey, who was quickly growing impatient, decided to have an alternate plan. "That's it, I'm going in the bushes. Damn it!"
Duncan and Justin were the next ones to walk out of the plane and were laughing at the sight they were seeing. "Oh dude, I didn't think anyone could be allergic to being next to cows, that's too good." Duncan said smiling.
Justin however decided to be a smart-ass and decided to provoke Duncan, "Just as funny as when Courtney gave you a list of all the ways you sucked last season."
Duncan quickly sensed what Justin was doing and threw it right back in his face. "Really Justin, because I am pretty sure Bowie would do the same thing."
"Ha, real funny Duncan, Bowie and I don't have that kind of relationship especially not one like you and Courtney. We're just friends, not angry lovers who could have their own spin off." Justin snapped back.
"No, what's funny is seeing you in denial." Duncan stated.
"Oh, really bitch, you want to play the denial game. You are the one in denial Duncan. You have a crush on Gwen that's obvious and yet you are too chicken shit to end your relationship with Courtney. You want your cake and eat it too. Knowing you, you would just cheat on Courtney with Gwen instead of doing a decent thing for once in your life." Justin stated which temporarily left Duncan speechless as Justin walked away with the goat in hand. "I think I've made my point."
Duncan finally had something to say back as he walked a distance behind Justin "At least I'm in a relationship and can get a girlfriend."
Team Amazon Dance Studio
Back at Team Amazon's dance studio, Kitty and Cody face to face were shown dancing with Courtney and Gwen watching while Heather was giving instructions, "Okay now both of you step backwards to the left at the same time." Heather instructed.
Cody however was a big bag of nerves "I can do this; I can do this." Cody told himself as he stepped backwards in sync with Kitty.
After that movement, Heather decided to call for a break. "Okay everyone, regroup for about 15 minutes and we'll resume practicing the dance.
"Is that allowed?" Courtney asked in confusion.
"Even if it's not allowed, I just want a break from instructing people like you and Gwen." Heather said as a thinly veiled insult.
"But you haven't even…. Never mind." Courtney stated in frustration.
"Oh, break time? Great, great. I gotta go." Cody quickly said as he ran outside in a hurry.
Kitty was left confused at her close friend's sudden change in behavior "What's wrong with him? I should maybe check up on him. He seems really nervous."
Gwen however stepped in front of Kitty and decided to take matters into her own hands, "Don't worry I got this. I need to talk to him anyways."
"Oh okay." Kitty said as she noticed that it was now just her and Heather in the dance studio. "Wait, where did Courtney go?"
"I don't know, bathroom? Going back to the plane to make out with Scott, don't know and don't care." Heather said. "Look now that it's just the two of us I need to ask, have you and your two nerd friends Cody and Mickey figured out that I voted with you guys back in the Mediterranean to get rid of Sierra."
"We kind of just assumed that was the case." Kitty answered.
"That's great." Heather said, happy to finally have allies beyond Scott. "I do want to work together."
"If you don't mind me asking, what other people do we have to send Sierra out the plane?" Kitty asked.
"I know for a fact I have Emma and maybe Mickey is getting Zoey onto our side as well." Heather explained, in genuine excitement she was starting to get a group of people that were loyal to her. She knew down the road she would have to betray them, but for now she felt happy about her spot in the game, unaware that Scott had turned on her.
Outside Dance Studio
Outside of the dance studio, Cody was shown pacing back and forth, in a clear state of nerves, "It's fine. Everything is fine. We're just friends, it'll all be great. Just control yourself Cody, don't let him down" Cody said, trying to reassure himself.
Gwen walked out of the studio to check on Cody as she could sense something was wrong with Cody. Gwen quickly saw Cody and could tell he was not his normal cheery self, "What's wrong, Cody?"
Cody heard Gwen and despite his bucket of nerves he tried to present himself in a suave way, "Nothing, nothing is wrong. I'm just nervous about this dance. Trying to impress all you ladies. The Cody way!" Cody said, trying to suppress his nerves.
Gwen however was not buying it and could tell Cody was nervous and knew deep down she could get him to confess what was bothering him. "Is it me you are trying to impress?"
Cody paused, not realizing that Gwen was going to say that "... Of course." Cody said, still trying to put on a fake facade.
"I'm not convinced actually, now spill on what's actually bothering you, as you are way too nervous." Gwen accused. However, in that moment, what Cody did next throwed Gwen off guard. Cody just started hysterically crying and put his hands in his face as he sat down on the ground. This sudden turn of emotions threw Gwen for a loop, and she decided to ask, "Are you trying to cry so I can date you? You know that won't work Cody." Gwen said uncomfortably.
Cody stood up and decided to sit against the building as he slumped down to the ground, "Look. I just have a lot of conflicting emotions and feelings today. I'm just stressed out." Cody explained.
Gwen decided to sit down across from Cody and actually listen to him, her guard was up to some extent as this was Cody, but she could tell Cody had a lot of pent-up emotions "What do you have to be stressed about? The challenge?" Gwen asked.
Cody quickly replied, "No. I mean yes. But not really that."
"What could have you stressed out then? You have your number one fan in Sierra, and two new best friends in Kitty and I believe the other one is called Mickey. You have them and they are loyal to you as much as possible. Heck because of those 3, you have barely even talked to me. I half expected you to brag about my bra this season." Gwen chuckled at the end.
"Having Sierra around, first of all, is a constant stress factor. She won't leave me alone unless it's a challenge, doesn't listen to me and makes all 3 of us uncomfortable." Cody explained in fear. "She is insane."
"I understand. Once Heather's gone, I'll send Sierra home with you, Mickey, and Kitty." Gwen said, as she was being genuine.
However, the mention of Mickey and Kitty had Cody sigh as he continued on, "That's the other thing that is confusing me. It's those two."
"Wait, now I'm confused. I thought Kitty and Mickey were your friends Cody? Please tell me you're not just faking being friends with them and playing them for a fool? If you are going to be a miniature Heather, I am no longer your friend, and I will send you home so fast I swear-" Gwen asked and then threatened.
"No, of course not. Look Gwen, I have had a crush on you for the longest time, but I know deep down you'll never feel the same way. But is there anyway moving forward we can just be friends, as I remember you said that I was an annoying little brother during the first season. Can we be friends?" Cody asked.
Gwen simply gave Cody a quick hug as she began to speak "Of course Cody. There's nothing romantic with us, but I do look at you like a brother and not an annoying one. But you have to be honest with me."
After the hug broke Cody gave a huge sigh of relief, "That's sweet relief. I feel like I can move on from liking you like that."
Gwen decided to move the conversation back to what was on her mind, "Okay then what's the stress with Mickey and Kitty?"
"Well the thing that I am having to contend with is that Sierra genuinely makes me feel unsafe and I know that Mickey and Kitty feel the same way. The thing is I have a sort of crush on Kitty." Cody confessed in sweet relief.
"That's great. Then why are you stressed? You like a girl, it's no big deal." Gwen blankly said.
"I just think that Sierra will overreact as she gets annoyed with both Mickey and Kitty just being friends with me, and I need her gone, not to mention I don't know if Mickey feels the same way towards her. He always talks about how he doesn't feel romance, but I don't believe him, with how close he and Kitty are. It's just a lot going on in my mind." Cody explained.
"What do you need my help with then, you're smart enough to figure this stuff out." Gwen asked, confused with all the new information dumped on her.
"You just seem smart and it's just the whole Mickey part of it that's throwing me off. I don't want me dating Kitty to potentially ruin my friendship with him, heh, he's awesome." Cody said as he chuckled remembering his interactions with both of them.
"Okay, look Cody, do you remember my advice the last season during the second aftermath when the whole Trent stuff went down, what I said. Just be straight up honest with Mickey, I imagine he'll be supportive of you, if your friendship with him is actually strong he will respect it." Gwen told Cody.
At that moment, Cody finally seemed to relax at his predicament he found himself in. He could deal with Sierra later, but making sure Mickey was okay was his first priority, "Thanks Gwen. At least Kitty has her sister here to help her out, I don't have any family."
Gwen was admittedly thrown off by what Cody just said about Kitty having a sister, but before Gwen could say anything, Heather appeared, to get both of their attentions "Break time is over, Gwen your dance part is up."
Confessional- Gwen
"I do really hope that Cody is serious about no longer having a crush on me. Trust me that was exhausting, but I am honestly left with more questions. I didn't realize Sierra bugged him that much, and he actually has feelings for Kitty. But the way Cody talks about Mickey, why would he care so much about how he feels? Lastly Cody thinks Kitty has a sister here? That makes no sense. I don't think they would have multiple family twists, than again it is Chris."
Team Style Dance Studio
In Team Style's dance studio both duos of Owen and Noah, along with Julia and Sky were working together to perfect basic dance moves, with Sky and Owen instructed to carry Julia and Noah for visual appeal. While Julia and Sky were doing a pretty good job, but for Owen and Noah, they were struggling to perfect the dance move, as Bowie called out "Now!"
Noah took a running start, hoping this time everything would work out. Unfortunately for Noah, Owen's nerves got the best of him and Owen forgot to grab Noah which instantly made Noah bounce back and hit himself hard against the floor. "Of course." Noah said sarcastically as he laid down on the ground.
Bowie, who saw the accident, decided that the best course of action was to let things simmer down, "Okay, you know what. Let's take a 10 minute break. We could all probably use it at this point." Bowie stated. As all of them began to enjoy the break, Julia tapped Bowie's shoulder throwing him completely off guard "What the hell. Julia? What do you want?"
"Oh nothing important, just that Sky and I know that you masterminded the Eva vote and we want answers." Julia accused.
"Well she wants answers. I'm just with her since we're allies. I still think this is unnecessary, Julia." Sky said, trying to diffuse the situation.
"Oh just hush." Julia snapped back at Sky. "I know what I'm doing and so does Bowie!"
Bowie was the next to speak up, "I have no idea what you're talking about." Bowie said, lying through his teeth.
"Oh don't worry, I won't leak my source as I don't actually care that much. But Bowie, maybe you should get better allies as one of them leaked that you caused the whole thing." Julia said as she confidently walked away, as Bowie was left confused at what just happened. Sky just found the whole thing awkward and wanted to be anywhere else in that moment.
"Sorry." Sky said as she walked away from Bowie.
Confessional- Bowie
"Who would be stupid enough to tell Julia that I got rid of Eva? That's just stupid. I need to figure out who is the rat in the group and figure out what to do from there."
Outside Team Style's Dance Studio
At the same time Owen and Noah were just outside the studio to talk with each other. "Thank goodness we're on break, my back is killing me." Noah complained.
Owen instantly felt guilty, "Noah, buddy, I'm trying my best."
"Look, I know. I'm just really nervous. We're on the bottom of the team and we need a plan." Noah stated.
"Right, because besides Izzy I wouldn't want to dance with anyone else on the team." Owen confidently stated,
"That's not what I had in mind. I mean we are doing that, but moving on. We need to figure out who to work with moving forward on this team." Noah explained.
"Ooh we could work with Justin and Bowie. Justin and I get along." Owen stated happily, until he saw Noah shake his head. "Why not?"
"Justin and I hate each other. He's a vain, self obsessed ego maniac. How about Sky and Julia? That might be the way to go." Noah said as Owen looked unsure about Noah's suggestion.
"I'm not sure. I still think Julia voted Dave out in Morocco. But Sky seems cool." Owen explained his doubts.
"I still think it's Jo." Noah explained, unaware of how wrong he was.
"So that's probably a no for working with Jo and Brick then?" Owen asked.
"Yep, definitely. Also a no to Alejandro." Noah said as he saw Owen frowned, "Now what? You don't trust Alejandro do you?"
"I mean, I don't dislike him like you. But do you realize that the only people you haven't named are Trent, Jen, and Duncan? We can't be very picky with who we can work with." Owen said. "We have to treat it like I treat food."
"You are right. First priority is to perform well in the challenges so the team has no incentive to vote one of us out. But if you want to work with people like Jo and Brick, then I should be able to work with Julia and Sky." Noah said.
At that moment a light bulb seemed to pop up in Owen's head. "That's great, we both publicly work with separate people so we aren't lumped in together. We steer the target away from each other if our names are brought up." Owen said, in glowing excitement.
Noah was left in astonishment at what Owen just said, "That's a great idea. We'll fill each other in when we need to, but you'll be okay without me being by your side?" Noah asked.
"It'll be hard, but with Izzy gone you are my number one ally left, and I want you to make it far if I can't, this is our Hail Mary for both of us to stay in the game. After today, I will spend time with Jo and Brick, while you get close to Julia and Sky." Owen said as he and Noah hugged knowing it was for the best game wise.
Confessional- Noah
"I was completely stumped after Eva left to get myself out of the hole I am in. But Owen's right, we need a new game plan and maybe us voting separately, can maybe hide us working together for a while as other people emerge. Besides Julia and Sky especially seem harmless. Things are looking up for Noah I would say."
Team Victory Dance Studio
Back at Team Victory's dance studio, Leshawna was instructing Geoff, Harold, Cameron, and Jasmine "Okay, step right, step left and then we'll shake it all around," Leshawna instructed,
Unfortunately for Leshawna, besides Harold everyone else was still horrified by her dancing and were reluctantly going along, "This is not going well" Cameron said to himself.
Luckily for them, Leshawna was out of breath and decided to catch her breath and take a break. "Ooh. Dancing sure is a workout. I love it. I'll be back in a few, gotta drink some water."
After Leshawna left the room, Jasmine decided to speak up, "I love Leshawna and I don't want to sound mean, but I don't think Leshawna's dancing is going to win the challenge for us."
"That's true. What do you suggest we do?" Geoff asked.
"Wait for the song to play and improvise from there." Cameron explained.
"Improvise?" Geoff asked as he was confused.
"You know, just let it come naturally. My mom watched a show called 'Whose Line Is It Anyway?' and all that show did was improv." Cameron explained.
"Oh okay, now I get it." Geoff then turned to Harold who was suspiciously quiet, "Harold, you've been quiet, what do you think about this?" Geoff asked.
"I mean I'm not thrilled about this, but I'll agree to this under one condition. If this backfires, Leshawna and I don't take the blame for this." Harold offered.
"Deal." Jasmine said.
"That seems fair." Cameron noted as he turned to Jasmine, "Hey Jasmine can you lift me up?"
Jasmine did so with relative ease as Geoff went back to looking confused, "Why are we doing this, though?"
"Lifts, and twirls are more sophisticated types of dancing so that might help us win the challenge." Cameron further explained.
"Fair. (Sighs) I wonder if Bridgette is having an easier time?" Geoff asked himself.
Team Victory Sheep
Over with Team Victory who were at their teams float, it showed Bridgette walking up as Shawn was working on the sheep, "Sit still you pest. Come on. Perfect, very menacing I will say." Shawn said as he added a vampire sticker onto the sheep gently.
Bridgette had finally walked up to Shawn, "Hey Shawn I-" Bridgette said before seeing what Shawn was doing "What are you doing?"
"I'm decorating a live sheep with vampire teeth stickers, what does it look like I'm doing." Shawn flatly said before going back to work on his design. "Now don't bug me."
"Shawn, that's not what we agreed on at all. We said we were going to do a peaceful route." Bridgette tried to explain, in vain.
"I never agreed to do that, that is what you wanted to do, and today I want my voice and my vision to be heard." Shawn retorted back.
"I'm uh, I'm confused. What do you mean by that?" Bridgette stuttered.
"I mean, no one listens to me no matter what since DJ left a week ago or so, so I'm going to do my own thing." Shawn further explained.
"Okay I'm sorry that you feel like no one listened to you on the boat ride during the Mediterranean challenge, I can tell that's what this is about." Bridgette said.
"It's fine. I just don't know where to go game wise, as I know I don't have any allies or friends on the team." Shawn said as he put another sticker on the sheep.
"I'll be willing to be your friend and just so you know, since no one has told you. Jasmine volunteered to do your part of the last challenge due to the state you were in." Bridgette explained.
"Ugh, I should really apologize to her and make it up to her, I wonder if she's the one sitting out of the challenge." Shawn pondered. "She is great and between you and me, I kind of like her deep down."
"Awe that is so cute." Bridgette said.
"Thanks, promise not to tell?" Shawn asked Bridgette who gave a thumbs up.
Jumbo Jet Economy Class
Back at the jumbo jet plane, Scott, Ezekiel, and Emma were all waiting for the challenge to be done, or at least Ezekiel and Emma were as Emma was interested to get to know Ezekiel. "This challenge is something I would be awful at, eh."
"Oh really why?" Emma asked.
"Because I am a horrible dancer. Days before we left this season, my mother told me that my failed attempt at a rap career was embarrassing, that I have no rhythm, and she was ashamed." Ezekiel explained.
"At least you still have a mother." Scott said to himself off screen but the camera audio picked up on the strange admission to himself.
"Oh my gosh. Well don't worry. I can show you how to dance. Whenever I am bored or just need some alone time I sometimes just go into the confessional to dance and let the stress go away. It helps that Chase is gone. Here let me show you." Emma said as she started dancing.
Despite cringing on the inside, Ezekiel wanted to play nice and joined Emma with dancing, "Yeah we got this, eh. We should have totally been the dancers." Ezekiel happily said. Scott heard the commotion and peaked his head out as he cringed at the sight, before sinking his head back.
Confessional- Scott
"My eyes are probably never going to recover from seeing that. But sitting out of today's challenge has its perks (pulls out meat grinder) . I have plans for you, just need to run it by Gwen, heh heh."
Team Style Fashion Room
At Team Style's fashion room, Jen was shown working on Brick's outfit, as she had already completed the outfits for Trent, Jo, and Alejandro. Brick however was very comfortable with what was going on "This is such a fun challenge ma'am."
Jen wasn't particularly listening to Brick, but did pick up on what he just called her, "Just call me Jen. I don't want to be called ma'am, it makes me feel old. I'm not like Julia who is afraid of aging in general, but still just call me Jen okay?" Jen asked.
"Yes ma'am, I mean Jen, sorry. Anyways this challenge is something I could never be a part of back home." Brick explained,
"If you don't mind, can I ask why? Your outfit is done but you have piqued my curiosity." Jen said.
"I have always wanted to pursue fashion school once I was all done with Cadet training, but back where I live, it is frowned upon for men to do non masculine roles, such as army training, farming, but if a guy wants to be a professional chef, a fashion designer or hair stylist they get all kinds of horrible things and shamed. It's kind of scary." Brick explained.
"That's annoying and kind of ridiculous. Brick, my best friend back home. Tom is my partner at our fashion blog, he is into fashion, but while he has a feminine side and is not the most athletic, he is very secure in who he is." Jen answered back.
"That's great Jen. Thank you." Brick said as they gave each other a mutual hug, something Trent could have sworn he saw but dismissed.
Meanwhile
Right outside the room was Jo and Alejandro, both impatiently waiting for the challenge to be over with. "Ugh, what is taking those two so long?" Alejandro asked in annoyance.
Jo laughed at Alejandro's anger, "Aw is someone sad that all Jen said to you was to shut up so Jen could get the measurements? Or that she is with the cadet boy?" Jo mocked.
Alejandro however scoffed in annoyance, "As if. I just wanted more time with her. Besides she is into Trent."
"Revolting." Jo said in disgust.
"Ugh, not in a romantic sense you idiot. But to use her as an ally, until I no longer need her." Alejandro told Jo.
Jo was right back to laughing at Alejandro's tough guy display "It's hilarious that you are showing your villainous side. Not to mention your plans. You really are stupid." Jo laughed.
"Well the way I see it Chica, there is no point in us being nice to each other as you tried to get rid of me back in Morocco, and while I voted Owen out last time, I was thinking you were leaving last night. So as far as I am concerned I can treat you however you want, it's not like anyone outside of Brick or Owen will believe you anyway." Alejandro explained, growing more confident.
"Bring it on lover-boy, I am not afraid of you." Jo said as she saw Jen and Brick leave the fashion room.
Brazilian Beach
Zoey had finally finished the design for the cow and wanted to find Mickey, so he knew the challenge was done. She had been looking for a half hour and had given up faith in finding him. "Ugh where could he be? Might as well enjoy the evening sky for the next 20 minutes I think?" Zoey said to herself, before seeing Mickey at the edge of the water by a bunch of paragliders as he looked at his reflection in the water. "Mickey, there you are!" Zoey called out.
Mickey was broken out of his trance and saw Zoey, "Oh hi, Zoey." Mickey flatly said without any emotion, still upset about their last interaction.
"Hey, I got the cow decorated and in position for the challenge. So, you don't have to worry about an allergic reaction at least heh." Zoey said, trying to lift the mood.
"Thanks." Mickey said as the air was now silent between the two of them, that was until Zoey spoke up next.
"Look, I am sorry, I messed up by saying you've never fell in love with someone and that was wrong of me to say. It wasn't my business." Zoey said, apologizing.
Mickey took a deep breath and spoke next, "You are right. Zoey, I haven't fallen in love but I'm hoping someone somewhere is out there for me. But all I want to say is that there's something about me that makes it so it's hard for me to date and no one here knows. Not you, not Kitty, not even Cody. That's all I want to say about my love situation." Mickey explained.
"I respect that. So, are we good?" Zoey asked.
"Of course we are." Mickey told Zoey. "Can I just ask, why Topher and why do you feel so strong about him?"
"It's kind of hard to explain I guess, maybe it was love at first sight, as stupid as that sounds. He was my first friend I made when I came here, and I was so nervous about making friends here. But now Topher is with Anne Maria." Zoey explained.
"That must mean that you are in the friend zone." Mickey said bluntly.
"Ugh, don't remind me." Zoey said in annoyance.
"Oh, I'm sorry, but the way I see it is you can try to get your mind off of him or tell Topher everything straight up." Mickey told Zoey.
"That's tempting. I will hopefully sooner than later, just for now I want to enjoy the challenge, and once again, I am sorry about before." Zoey said.
"It's fine. Trust me, I am not going to hold a grudge. Besides, I wanna be your friend if you want to." Mickey said, finally showing some joy in his voice.
"Of course, Mickey. We should probably head back to the team, as the judging starts soon." Zoey told Mickey,
"Go on without me, I don't want to be near the cow, and I want a little more alone time." Mickey said as Zoey nodded her head and walked away as Mickey looked back out at the water, "So that's what love is." Mickey said to himself. What he meant by that however was only something he knew.
Confessional- Zoey
"With Anne Maria being my new sworn enemy, I need another friend. Today with Mickey while rough was eye opening, having him as an ally could work. I can't trust Heather as I saw the first two seasons and I know she is very manipulative, but I will stay on her good side. Besides, if we somehow end up in the Final 2. I feel confident that I could beat Mickey. But regardless he is kind of cool. I still have my alliance with ah, Topher and bleh, Anne Maria. But with me being on Heather's good side, and potentially Mickey as an ally. I feel secure with where I am in the team,"
Confessional- Mickey
"Besides Cody and Kitty, I have never been that open with someone like I was with Zoey. It just felt different, but nice, but some secrets I can't tell. I can't go through what happened in high school again."
Challenge Results
Everyone sans Mickey was gathered around just outside the dance studios, with everyone getting in position. Each team had a large parade float with the models supposed to be positioned near the float while the dancers had to be on the large float. The dance instructor and fashion designer could only watch, while the milk run duos had to stand next to their animals.
On Team Amazon's float, Zoey was putting the final touches on the cow, as Topher walked up to her, "Hey Zoey. Where's Mickey?" He asked.
"Turns out that Mickey is lactose intolerant. To where he can't even be near a cow so he's by the beach down the road waiting for the challenge to be done." Zoey explained.
"That's unfortunate. Well, what do you think of this costume that Katie made?" Topher asked as he tried to make a funny pose and face, as he was enjoying the costume.
"The costume looks nice. Katie did a great job with it." Zoey said.
"Even if Anne Maria doesn't like it." Topher said, until he all of a sudden remembered something, "Oh there's something I've been needing to tell you." Topher began to say.
Unfortunately for Zoey, and in this case Topher, Anne Maria walked up, "Oh hell no." Anne Maria said to herself. "Yo, Topher get in position now."
"Oh, looks like that's my cue, I'll talk to you later as the challenge will start soon. Bye Zoey." Topher said walking back to Anne Maria with her hand in hand as Zoey just sighed.
"Maybe someday. Just not today." Zoey said to herself.
The scene flashed to Blaineley and Chris, "Congrats everyone on actually finishing the challenge. But now is the time to judge how you did, with the musical numbers putting the finishing touch on what each team has done."
"First up is Team Style, Jen who is your team having sing today." Chris asked.
"We're going to have Trent sing." Jen announced.
"Expected. Now Leshawna you got to pick the song the Team Style's singer had to sing. What song is that?" Blaineley asked.
"Trent will be singing, 'Hot N Cold' by Katy Perry." Leshawna said as Lindsay squealed in delight.
"I love this song." Lindsay said as she was trying to contain her excitement.
"Now it's important to note that Trent, you have to sing the song as the guy in the song, and have it make the best sense as you can." Chris explained.
"This is actually workable, what do you say, Justin?" Bowie asked. But Justin was just staying silent as he didn't want Duncan to have any satisfaction.
"Hit it Chef!" Chris yelled out as the background music began to play.
"Guys I love this song; I should have thought of this song." Lindsay said in pure excitement.
Team Style's Musical Number
(Italics indicate song, regular text indicates non singing during the song)
Trent began singing improvising the song, if need be, "I change my mind like a girl changes clothes, yeah I PMS like a bitch, trust me she would know.
Off screen you can hear Duncan yell out, "Of course!"
Trent continued on, as he wasn't bothered by what Duncan said, "I always overthink, always speak cryptically, any girl should know that I'm not good enough for them."
Luckily for Team Style, the dancers were reacting to the lyrics as Owen said to himself "This is so much fun."
"I know, big guy. But let's focus." Noah reminded Owen as they both prepared for the chorus.
As Trent continued on singing, he went to the chorus, "I'm Hot and I'm Cold, I'm yes then and I'm a no, in and then I'm out, I'm up and then I'm down." Trent sang, with the camera panned over to Jen who was mesmerized by Trent's performance. "I was wrong and I'm still not right. It's black and white. We fight and break up, then kiss and make up."
The camera panned over to Bowie, who was shocked and was standing next to Justin as he whispered, "Wow he is a natural at this."
"I agree. He was great when we toured together." Justin said jokingly, but oddly tense as he could tell Duncan was watching this interaction.
Trent had moved onto the second verse, "We used to be just like twins, so in sync, same energy but now I'm a dead battery, used to laugh about nothing, now I'm plain boring. She should know that I am not gonna change."
While Trent was singing Julia and Sky were struggling with Noah dancing over to the two of them, "It's not like me to help out, but you guys should follow my example."
While Sky was eager to join Noah's example with Trent sang the bridge, "Ugh does the egghead really know what he's doing." Julia snapped.
"Julia, back off." Sky said, elbowing Julia. "Noah just means well. We got this if we work together."
"Fine, whatever." Julia said, unfortunately for her the song faded out. "What the hell."
Trent was done singing and was tired out, "How, how was it?" Trent asked.
Chris cleared his throat as he began to speak up, "It was really good, so to start off, Trent you still have a great singing voice, and it was really fun to watch. As for the dancers, you guys were fine, Noah and shockingly Owen did a great job. Sky you did a good job picking up at the end, as for Julia. You did nothing worth bragging about." Chris criticized.
"Excuse me?" Julia yelled out in anger as everyone was shocked at her anger. "Oh, I mean I'll do better next time." Julia said trying to course correct while Jo found her outburst funny.
Blaineley spoke up, "As for the fashion models and designs for you guys. Jen, give yourself some credit girl, the designs were really good. As for the animal, which in this case was a single goat, Duncan and Justin, I'm disappointed but not shocked, what happened?"
"We don't want to talk about it." Justin and Duncan said at the same time as the goat was nowhere to be seen at all.
Confessional- Trent
"Awesome dudes, I may have won the challenge for my team. Also did you see the way Jen beamed when she heard she did a great job, that's so amazing. She is a great friend to have."
Team Amazon's Musical Number
"Okay, Team Amazon, you are up. Katie, who's your team's singer?" Chris asked.
"Um…... Ella." Katie said quietly.
"Okay Bowie, you get to pick the song for Team Amazon."
"Well, I picked "When You Say Nothing At All" specifically the Alison Krauss version." Bowie explained.
"Alison Sauerkraut? Who's that?" Lindsay asked as everyone ignored her, which annoyed her greatly.
"Are we screwed?" Courtney asked Gwen, who was also nervous.
"Ella's a good singer, but this isn't an easy song. Let's hope for the best." Gwen reasoned.
"Okay hit it Chef." Blaineley called out.
As the music began playing Cody was shown still being incredibly nervous, "I don't know if I can do this. I've never heard this song. Oh my gosh I'm going to mess this all up. Then I will get voted out."
Kitty had luckily taken his hand "Just relax, let the music speak to you." at that notion Cody had started to quiet down as he and Kitty began slowly dancing hand in hand.
Ella began singing soon after "It's amazing how you can speak right to my heart"
As soon as Ella sang that first note, everyone who was listening to her was transfixed on her performance along with Cody and Kitty's slow dance with Jen saying it best, "Wow! This is beautiful!"
"Without saying a word, you can light up the dark." Ella kept singing. "Try as I may, I could never explain. What I hear when you don't say a thing."
As the song picked up, Cody's nerves shot even higher as he began to fall backwards off the float, luckily for him, Kitty grabbed his hand and pulled him back in close with her "I got you. I won't let you go."
"Thanks." Cody said awkwardly, completely transfixed on Kitty.
"The smile on your face lets me know that you need me, there's a truth in your eyes saying you'll never leave me. A touch of your hand let's me know you'll catch me if I ever fall. You say it best when you say nothing at all." Ella sang, as she sang the chorus, in an angelic tone.
The camera first panned over to Harold and Leshawna as Harold whispered in Leshawna's ears "I love you.", with Leshawna giving him a thumbs up, still wanting to hide their relationship.
With Cody and Kitty their dancing was getting better as Cody's nerves were getting better, as Cody noticed how calm Kitty was "How are you not at least a little nervous."
"I am, but we're just friends doing a slow dance we'll be fine." Kitty reassured Cody, whose heart sank a bit when Kitty said friends.
As Ella continued singing the scene shifted to Mickey walking up as he could overhear Ella's singing and wanted to see who was singing it, as the song was now reaching an instrumental break reaching the bridge. Mickey saw both Cody and Kitty dancing slowly and at that moment, he didn't know how to feel. Seeing his two best friends dancing was great, but he felt like he himself was someone they would forget, and he started to see one of them in a different light entirely. "I'm happy for them." Mickey said to himself, trying to convince himself of something he didn't actually feel.
First Cody could see Mickey and gave him a silent smile as he whispered in Kitty's ear, "Mickey's here watching us dance."
Kitty gleamed with happiness, "Ooh turn me around, so I can see him." Kitty asked. As Cody did turn them around however Mickey was no longer there, which shocked Kitty "Where is he? I thought he was here."
"I could have sworn I saw him. Regardless, can we just enjoy this moment, just the two of us right now?" Cody asked as he set his head on Kitty's shoulder and Kitty did soon after.
"Of course, this is great Cody." Kitty said in a relaxed tone.
Ella was wrapping up the song with the final verse "You say it best, when you say nothing at all."
As the song wrapped up, Ella took a deep breath "Thank you." Ella said as she took a bow.
With the song done, everyone who was present instantly stood up and gave a standing ovation, regardless of what team they were on. Everyone was stunned by Ella's vocals, Cody and Kitty's dance, and the whole display. "Wow. I am stunned, I looked up the lyrics to make sure you weren't doing anything stupid Ella and you nailed it."
"I'm not a fan of that type of song" Chef grumbled, "But you've got a gift girl. Use it." Chef claimed. "What says you Blaineley?"
"I want to give a shout out to the fashion design, the pink atheistic brought the whole performance. I forgot, who was the fashion designer for your team?" Blaineley asked.
"Me?" Katie said meekly.
"You should be proud of yourself." Blaineley said as Katie cheered and she ran up to Ella and both squealed in happiness that they did a great job, giving each other a hug.
"One last thing, the dance between Kitty and Cody was great to watch, as I'm confident that song lends itself to a slow dance." Chris said.
"Thank you, Chris. Isn't that great to hear Cody? Cody?" Kitty said, before turning around to see that Cody was now nowhere in sight.
"Where is that little runt? This concerns him as well." Heather asked in annoyance.
"I think he took off for the bathroom." Topher explained.
Local Bathroom
The scene flashed to Cody who was washing his face constantly with water as he seemed to be in a state of panic, "I like her, I genuinely like her, and I don't even know how to feel. What if Mickey also likes her as well as I think she likes him instead. I also don't want to ruin my friendship with him. I don't know, I DON'T KNOW!" Cody yelled out in frustration as his face sunk into the sink.
At the same time Mickey walked into the bathroom "Thought I heard you, Cody. I'll tell you what… the bathrooms here are constantly occupied." Mickey stated before noticing Cody's head in the sink, "What's wrong, are you sick, sad about something? I saw your guy's dance and it was great. I mean I'm usually the emotional one heh," Mickey said.
Cody stood up in anger and spoke sternly out of nowhere, "I'm just confused, and this doesn't concern you right now." Cody yelled out as he walked away and slammed the bathroom door in a presumed rage.
Mickey could only look on in absolute confusion at his best friend's display of anger that seemed to come out of nowhere in Mickey's eyes, "Did I do something wrong? I hope he's okay." Mickey wondered before his stomach grumbled "Darn it. Don't have time for that."
Team Victory's Musical Number
Cameron and Geoff were shown looking at Chris as their display was shown as it looked like he had an indifferent look, "This can't be good dude." Geoff whispered.
Jasmine took a deep breath and whispered over to both of them, "We're ready mates, and if worse comes to worse Cameron, we'll throw you as a hail Mary."
"Okay Heather what song do you have planned for Team Victory?" Chris asked.
"I decided that they have 'Girlfriend' by Avril Lavigne."
"Who is Team Victory's singer, Lindsay?"
"It's Tyler. I pick Tyler." Lindsay happily said.
"Yes." Heather silently said to herself.
Confessional- Heather
"I picked that song, with the intention that Lindsay would pick Tyler, and she fell for the trap. Consider this karma for her leading to me being bald on national television. Now we're even."
Start Of Song
The music began as Duncan, Justin and Bowie standing next to each other as Duncan told both of them "This will be an absolute trainwreck."
Tyler began singing; however, his tone was off from the moment he began to sing, "Hey hey you you, I don't like your girlfriend, no way no way I think you need a new one, hey hey you you I could be your girlfriend." Tyler sang as everyone was jaw dropped at what they were hearing.
As the dancers tried to dance Geoff whispered in Jasmine's ears, "Do we go for the hail Mary?"
"I don't know." Jasmine said as her nerves were heightened as Tyler kept singing. "Let's see how this goes.
"You're so fine, I want you mine, you're so delicious. I think about you all the time you're so addictive, don't you know what I can do to make you feel alright." Tyler sang out
"All right, all right, all right." Lindsay said out loud cheering for Tyler.
"Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious, and hell yeah, I'm the mother fucking princess. I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right. Because she's like so whatever and you can do so much better, I think we should get together now, and that's what everyone's talking about." Tyler kept singing,
While Tyler kept singing, Emma looked on in astonishment next to Heather, "Is this what you wanted?"
"Everything and more." Heather said in glee as Tyler continued to sound awful.
"You are diabolical. I respect it." Emma stated.
Back on the float itself, Geoff was still nervous "Dudes, what do we do, this challenge is up to us. Tyler is blowing it." Geoff wondered as he heard a loud rip sound.
"Oh, come on!" Millie yelled out.
"Millie's costume just ripped off as Lindsay made it too small." Cameron noticed.
"You guys are right, the costumes suck, the sheep is confusing, Tyler can't sing. We're going for a miracle. Geoff stands in front of Harold and spins him around, "I'll throw Cameron up, and let's hope for a miracle, you guys both okay with this?" Jasmine asked.
"We don't have a better option, Jasmine. We'll do it when Tyler gets to the bridge. Get in positions guys. I'll distract Harold so he doesn't raise any suspicions." Cameron stated. "Oh no it's starting. Improvise guys."
"In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger." Tyler sang terribly off key.
Harold was still dancing in his own world humming to the song "Cause I can do it better." Harold told himself. However, at that moment Harold realized he was the only one dancing right behind Tyler. "Wait where is everyone?"
"Now!" Cameron yelled out. "Throw me."
"Throw? He's not, woah!" Harold said to himself until Geoff picked Harold up and spun him around like a football. "Help me!"
Jasmine and Cameron meanwhile performed the former throwing the latter into the air, unfortunately for both of them, Jasmine threw Cameron too hard as he was sent screaming into the air, and then came back down to the ground tucked in out of fear, but in doing so he became a missile heading straight for the float, something Leshawna noticed "Hit the deck!" Leshawna yelled out.
The camera cut to Tyler who was finishing the song up "No way, no way. Hey! Hey!" Tyler sang out as Cameron crashed right in the float leading to the float getting destroyed and both Tyler and Cameron being trapped underneath it. Tyler emerged quickly out of the rubble still stunned, "Did we win?"
Lindsay walked up to the judges as she avoided the disaster, and also asked "How did we do?"
"How'd you do? That performance stood out." Chris began to say.
"It stood out?" Lindsay questioned, before a smile appeared on her face, as Lindsay felt very proud in that moment, "Yay!" Lindsay cheered.
"Yeah, it stood out for all the wrong reasons, for starters the sheep was confusing. Whatever design Bridgette and Shawn went for didn't look cohesive at all." Chris sternly said.
"That was expected." Bridgette said looking away in shame.
Chef spoke up next, "Whoever put Tyler's hair in a Mohawk never do that again, that is ugly. The crash at least got his hair back to normal"
"Oh." Lindsay said looking down at her idea for Tyler.
"Brody and Millie look like clowns, oh and it looks like Millie's fashion piece is already torn apart because it's too small." Blaineley accused.
"Finally, the dancing, float and singer performance. This will be TV ratings gold, but that being said, this was also a disaster for you guys. First of all, Lindsay picking Tyler as the lead singer was a disaster, he can't sing worth a shit." Chris accused.
"Hey!" Tyler said in protest.
"I'm just telling it how I see it. Tyler butchered the song and didn't make any sense the way he sung it, oh and besides Harold no one did much dancing, and whatever the move with Harold being used as a spinning frisbee and Cameron as a projectile ensured a loss even more, oh and now I have to pay for the damages caused. Team Victory, you lose, and are sending someone home, the good news is you are ripe for choice." Chris concluded.
"Team Amazon, you guys get first class for the challenge and due to the discrepancy between Team Style and Team Victory in this challenge I do think a tiny reward is due for Team Style, so you guys get extra pillows to sleep in Economy Class as we head to our next destination." Blaineley said.
"Okay, that's great." Justin said as he was happy the team came in second since he could have been in danger since he didn't help with the challenge.
The camera panned to Ezekiel who managed to get Cameron out of the destruction, "You okay, eh?" Ezekiel asked as Cameron began limping, as his leg didn't look good at all.
"So much pain." Cameron said sadly as he continued to limp with Ezekiel supporting him.
"It's okay buddy, eh." Ezekiel reassured.
Confessional- Leshawna
"I'm pissed. Straight up pissed. I don't know what the hell Geoff and Jasmine were thinking, dancing like Harold did was the best choice and they completely ignored it. Harold didn't get hurt but could have, and Cameron did get hurt."
Confessional- Cameron
Cameron was shown in a boot for his leg, and a sling for his arm, "Okay so my idea was a disaster, and I was in way over my head, if I survive tonight, I'll be stunned."
Confessional- Bridgette
"Today's challenge was a disaster for us, I'm safe, but what was Geoff thinking? Next challenge, if I get the chance, I'm going to lead us to victory. I can't chance it."
Confessional- Damien
"I am so nervous about tonight's elimination. Tyler and Lindsay are both options to get sent home, as both messed up, but they're both in my endgame plans. This is not good folks. Not good."
Cargo Hold
In the cargo hold, Damien was pacing back and forth, while Millie was trying to calm him down, "I'm telling you Damien. You're really overthinking this whole thing." Millie said.
"I'm not, it is going to be Tyler or Lindsay they screwed up the challenge. It's only logical that everyone would vote for one of them. Ugh, why didn't we say anything with what Lindsay was doing?" Damien wondered out loud.
"If we told Lindsay that her fashion choices were horrible, you and I both know she would have a meltdown about it and cry her eyes out." Millie explained. "She is a mess when she is crying."
"You're right Millie, but now both Tyler and Lindsay are both in danger." Damien explained even more frantically.
"You are really overthinking this, Damien. The obvious boot isn't them." Millie said, as she was trying to explain. "It's Cameron."
"How?" Damien asked.
"Cameron is seriously injured so the team is probably going to look at him as a liability and send him home for his own sake." Millie explained
"They won't, look I am going to vote for Leshawna and hope for the best. But I'm telling you, Tyler or Lindsay is going to somehow get eliminated tonight." Damien tried to reason.
Confessional- Millie
(Facepalm) "I get along with Damien, I really do. But he has this tendency to completely overthink things, and it's exhausting. I'm sure that Cameron is leaving. But I don't know what to do to quell Damien and his paranoia."
Elimination Ceremony
The elimination ceremony was underway as Chef was the one who was at the podium, "It's time to vote you maggots, someone is getting eliminated in the next 15 minutes."
Confessional- Damien
"I hope this gamble pays off." (stamps unknown passport)
Confessional- Leshawna
"I'm sorry. I am a woman of my word, but I don't think you're going home."
Confessional- Cameron
"If I somehow stay, that will be impossible. But all I have is hope. (Stamps passport) ow!"
Confessional- Millie
"This move should help my game, and this is for the best, sorry."
Back To Elimination Ceremony
Chef had just got done reading the votes, and had the marshmallow plate ready to go, "The following players are safe with zero votes and will get a marshmallow. Jasmine, Shawn, Harold, Brody, Millie, Ezekiel, Bridgette, Damien and Tyler. None of you got votes."
Tyler who was sitting next to Damien cheered out, "Isn't this awesome dude? We're both safe with no votes."
"I wouldn't be celebrating just yet, Tyler. As the remaining players of Lindsay, Geoff, Cameron, and Leshawna, all received votes."
"Good luck." Harold whispered in Leshawna's ears as Leshawna looked nervous as she was near the bottom.
"You each have your reasons for being down here, Lindsay your fashion choices and choice of singer were not smart at all. Geoff you spun a teammate in a circle like a frisbee, Leshawna you were the dance instructor, and you let the inmates run the asylum so to speak. Finally, Cameron, you are injured, and your teammates may see you as a liability in future challenges. All of you step down, NOW!" Chef yelled out.
"Good luck buddy." Ezekiel said as he whispered in Cameron's ears.
"Safe with two votes each are Geoff and Lindsay. Here are your marshmallows. Back to your seats"
"Oh, thank goodness, something about getting a marshmallow when you have to wait for it, makes it taste even better." Lindsay said.
"The final vote tonight was 6 to 3, the final player safe is…
…
…
…..
….
…. Leshawna." Chef called out.
"Thank goodness." Leshawna told herself.
"No." Ezekiel said sadly looking down, while Cameron sighed in acceptance, and Leshawna sighed in relief. While Harold was shown thinking about how the votes went down.
"Cameron, you've officially been eliminated from the Total Drama World Race. Any final words?" Chef asked.
"Good luck you guys, I mean it. No hard feelings. It was my idea to do the last second craziness with the dance. I have no one to blame but myself." Cameron stated as he noticed Ezekiel was sad. "Zeke, are you ok?"
"No. How can I be okay, eh? You're my best friend here, you gave me a chance, and now your gone. I'm going to miss you so much." Ezekiel said as he hugged Cameron which Cameron reciprocated even in pain.
"I will too. You are a good guy and don't let anyone tell you otherwise. Do your best. At least we got to be friends and not get pitted against each other oh and (whispers) find out more about Millie's journal." Cameron told Ezekiel as Chef handed him his parachute. "Bye everyone." Unfortunately for Cameron, the parachute was a mess as Cameron got tangled up in the parachute and fell out of the plane soon after.
"Guess we should have made that safer for him. Oh well. Team Victory head back to Economy Class." Chef instructed.
"I already miss him, eh." Ezekiel said, as Harold looked at Ezekiel weirdly.
Confessional- Harold
"I am thrilled that Leshawna is still here, but I am just confused about the votes. When I promised Leshawna that Ezekiel and I were going to make amends, Ezekiel and I promised we wouldn't vote each other out or our closest allies. So, for me, it was Leshawna, and for Ezekiel it was Cameron. Leshawna and I threw our votes onto Geoff to honor the deal. But Leshawna got 3 votes, and before Cameron left, he said he was the ringleader of what happened during the dance part, so maybe he and Ezekiel voted Leshawna out but who would be the third vote?"
Confessional- Ezekiel
"This is the first elimination I was a part of that actually hurt, going into this season, I wanted to win, and more importantly I didn't want to be the first person eliminated, that last one was easy once Laurie left. The eliminations until now didn't hurt, Laurie voted for me so why should I care, Beth and I weren't close, same with DJ. But Cameron and I instantly bonded, and now he's gone. He and I voted for Lindsay to honor Harold and mine's agreement. Hopefully Harold now knows I want to make things right with him. But Cameron, I will miss you buddy."
Confessional- Millie
"I did end up voting for Leshawna like Damien suggested, but his paranoia calmed down, after Lindsay and Tyler stopped by to talk to us."
Flashback
Damien and Millie were standing with Damien having his hands on hips "So you're telling me that people like Shawn, Jasmine, and Bridgette are all voting Cameron out no matter what?" Damien asked Tyler and Lindsay who both nodded. "Okay well I have a plan that should help us in the game. I've noticed something,"
"What?" Millie asked.
"Harold and Ezekiel have been getting closer and being friendly after that big blowup a couple weeks ago so I have an idea." Damien said as the camera went static to him in the confessional.
Confessional- Damien
"If there is anyone who is as paranoid or thinks about this game like I do, it would be Harold. He's as smart as me, and what would set Harold off is if someone voted out Leshawna. Millie told me during the first couple of seasons Harold was in love with Leshawna and would do anything for her, so as a gamble Millie, Tyler and I voted for Leshawna and the plan is to pin our votes on Ezekiel, Cameron, and Geoff. Tyler was hesitant to do this, but we needed to ensure Leshawna was in the bottom 3 and after explaining this keeps both him and Lindsay safe. I really hope this gamble pays off as I need anyone to be targeted that isn't me or my alliance."
First Class
In First Class it was nighttime as many of the team were getting ready to get some sleep, "I'm going to sleep." Katie said as she was smiling at how she did with the challenge today. "I am so proud."
"Same here, today was great for our team. Feeling motivated to keep playing for Sadie?" Ella asked.
"More than anything. She would be so proud of us." Katie said as both fell asleep.
The lights were now off, as the camera showed Scott and Gwen by the emergency exit with the meat grinder in hand "You have the meat grinder, right?" Scott asked.
"I do, but why? How is this supposed to get rid of Heather?" Gwen asked.
"Simple, throw it out and whenever that meat grinder is supposed to be used for a future challenge, we accuse Heather of throwing it out." Scott explained. "Now throw it out." Scott demanded.
Gwen did so, as Scott quickly shut the door, "I hope I don't regret this." Gwen said to herself.
"I promise you won't. It's Heather." Scott reassured.
The camera showed a confident Scott, and a guilt-ridden Gwen walked away after what they did, as the camera showed Mickey opening his eyes, indicating he heard what had just happened. "Why did they do that?" Mickey asked.
End Of Episode
The final scene was showing Chris and Blaineley in the pilot compartment "What will the fallout be from the Cameron vote, and how will Damien's plan shake out?" Chris asked.
"With the meat grinder gone, how will that affect Team Amazon, and finally what is wrong with Cody?" Blaineley asked next. "Find out next time on Total Drama World Race?"

Notes:
So, this chapter is probably the most different from Canon so far, as I watched the actual Ridonculous Race episode and I couldn't come up with a challenge between the bullet ants, coconuts or the costumes. However a line about the costumes being for Carnivale piqued my curiosity so I decided to look into it, and that's where the challenge idea came in. I did want to also still incorporate the milk run plane as well. Another thing to note is that this chapter was one where I had to introduce some new dynamics and bonds, and some more storylines that will emerge, as I wanted everyone to at least have some spotlight. Now for the song selection, I wanted Trent's to be unconventional but for it to somehow work, Ella's was supposed to fit perfectly, and Tyler's was meant to be a disaster. The song choices hopefully showed that.
Now time for the eliminated player, and that being Cameron. I want to say I like Cameron a lot. But with him being the only Revenge person on Team Victory it was so hard to come up with a storyline for him. I decided to have him pair up with Ezekiel and give Ezekiel some development with that friendship, but besides revealing his past to Millie, I was struggling with what to do with him, especially since I already had plenty of characters in the nerdy archetype, and also the facing adversity plotline with Mickey (not to mention a lot more with Mickey if that wasn't obvious). So I figured cutting him early was the best way to go. As for how to eliminate him, I kind of just decided to have him be a little in over his head this chapter and get mildly injured due to his own stupidity. A bit of an ironic elimination in a way I think. Sorry for all the Cameron fans.
Now in the next chapter, we head to Germany with stuffing sausages, mountain goats, dancing, and the fallout from the meat grinder will definitely be in the next chapter. Would love to hear feedback and reviews on how to improve, or what you are enjoying, and I am looking forward to the next one, it should be a treat for you guys. Until then, have a great day if you're reading this.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Slap Slap Revolution
Recap
The episode begins with Chris in his pilot outfit as he narrates the events of the previous episode, "Last time on Total Drama World Race we visited sunny Brazil as teams had to prepare for Carnivale and divide and conquer for the challenge."
Blaineley spoke up next, "That's right Chris, on Team Amazon, Katie had a crisis of confidence as she began to really miss Sadie but a pep talk, courtesy of Ella, Katie found her courage helped her team to a massive win, with an impressive showing herself."
"Speaking of Team Amazon, what cemented their dominant win was a very romantic dance between Kitty and Cody with Cody earlier in the day telling Gwen that he was developing a crush on Kitty. But while Team Amazon enjoyed the luxuries of first class, an act of sabotage from Scott and Gwen herself could destroy their team." Chris highlighted, with the screen showing each of these events.
"Over at Team Style, Julia got Brick to confess about the Eva vote and he even blamed Bowie, and Julia told Bowie without naming Brick, juicy. Owen and Noah agreed that for the time being they had to split apart as the last two of their alliance, with Owen working with Jo and Brick while Noah decided to work with Julia and Sky, it will be interesting to see if one regrets it." Blaineley explained.
"But the real loser of the challenge was Team Victory, with a mediocre animal design, horrific fashion choices by Lindsay, terrible singing from Tyler, and a hasty dance choice to throw Cameron in the air, landed Team Victory in the elimination and landed Cameron out of the game." Chris said as the camera showed each of these things.
"We are now down to 38 people in the competition, who will be the next person eliminated here on Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley announced as it panned out to show the jumbo jet in the sky.
Theme Song
Dear Mom and Dad I'm Doing Fine
The theme song immediately begins showing Owen underwater swimming while Noah and Cameron look on in disgust underwater pointing to Owen's lack of swimsuit which makes Owen instantly cover up
You Guys Are On My Mind
The camera pans up to show Harold showing off his moves on top of a weaved boat while Dave and Leshawna look confused until a paddle is shown hitting Dave and Harold knocking them into the water while Leshawna glares as the camera pans to Duncan who is laughing at the situation.
You Asked Me What I Wanted To Be
Brick, Eva, Jo, Sky, and Courtney are shown paddling the boat with Jo and Sky glaring at each other with Sky also glaring at Duncan for what he did to Dave, while Brick looks enthusiastic and Eva has a neutral expression.
Now I Think The Answer Is Plain To See
The boat crashes into a raft holding Gwen, Ella, Kitty, and Mickey with Gwen looking resigned to her fate, Ella not seeming to mind while Mickey looks freaked out until Kitty gives him a pat on the back to try and calm him down.
I Wanna Be Famous
Duncan quickly tries to pull Gwen off the raft but Courtney stops and glares at him as the camera flashes to the next scene.
I Wanna Live Close To The Sun
Alejandro and Bowie are shown helping Heather and Julia up the Statue of Liberty with Justin glaring at Alejandro while Bowie tries to push Julia back down but she moves out of the way as Justin helps Bowie from falling to the ground.
Well Pack Your Bags Cause I Already Won
Tyler and Chase are shown pushing carriages containing Cody and Emma respectively as the latter two look on in fear but Ezekiel trips Tyler and Shawn trips Chase causing both Emma and Cody to go freefalling out of the sky while Jasmine looks on in worry.
Everything To Prove Nothing In My Way
Cody and Emma land in Sierra's arms with Sierra tossing Emma to the snow on her head with ease and then giving Cody a huge hug much to his discomfort. Lindsay is then shown a picture of Tyler, confused about it as Beth, Sadie, and Katie try to explain who he is before a bear shows up scaring all of them and making them run away.
Cause I Wanna Be Famous
The person shown in the bear is Izzy who laughs, while Millie is shown writing in her notebook, Laurie winces at the sight, and Scott laughs as well about the whole thing until a seal comes and bites Izzy's hands making all of them run away.
Na Na Na Na Na
Geoff, Brody, and Bridgette are shown surfing really well, while Damien, DJ, and Lorenzo are shown struggling, causing all 6 to pile up soon after.
Na Na Na Na Na
On a street in presumably Europe, Trent and Jen are shown dancing on the road enjoying the moment, same with Zoey and Topher until Anne-Maria tries to grab on to Topher confusing him and making Zoey glare, however all 5 stop when the jumbo jet comes near the ground making all 5 duck for cover.
I Wanna Be I Wanna Be I Wanna Be Famous
All of the cast is shown falling out of the sky with parachutes with Sierra holding onto Cody as Cody looks worried and notices Mickey looking worried at the ground.

(Whistling)
Noah is shown looking worried at Ezekiel and Mickey's bad dismount before the theme song and intro cuts.
(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
The episode began showing both Team Style and Team Victory in Economy Class as Ezekiel sighed, which Millie took note of, "You okay, Ezekiel?" Millie asked.
"I'll be okay eh, I just really miss Cameron, he was my first true friend this season." Ezekiel explained as he looked at the ground in sadness, hoping that today was going to be a good day for him.
Millie put a hand on Ezekiel's leg, "I imagine voting out Cameron will be one of the hardest things any of us will do, but this place wasn't right for him, with him being injured, besides he would want you to do your best." Millie told Ezekiel.
Ezekiel did prop his head up a little, "You're right Millie, would it be okay if we got to know each other, eh?" Ezekiel asked as he remembered what Cameron said about Millie's journal right before he left.
"Oh, okay, that'd be…. great." Millie said, hesitant to some extent.
Confessional- Millie
"Gosh, it's so hard to lie about everything that went down with Cameron's elimination as I didn't even vote him off, but Damien and I agreed we can't have Harold and Ezekiel link up together so if that means I have to be Ezekiel's new best friend, that's how it will be." (sighs) "Am I doing the right thing?"
Back To Scene
Back in the present time, Owen was feeling extra chipper, "No elimination last time, in terms of steak, soon our team will be as powerful as a porterhouse steak, and they (points at Team Victory) will be a tiny slice of bologna."
Harold began speaking "A slice of bologna isn't even-" Harold began to say, until Ezekiel interrupted him.
"How dare you Owen eh, you have no idea what it's like to lose your best friend in the game, so shut it!" Ezekiel yelled out standing up as Owen looked slightly guilty.
"Sorry." Owen said looking down in shame.
Bridgette however, noticing the growing tension decided to step in, "Ezekiel!" Bridgette called out as Ezekiel turned his head, "Maybe you should take a walk in the cargo hold and calm down." Bridgette asked Ezekiel.
"Okay eh, sorry Owen." Ezekiel said.
As Ezekiel walked away to calm down, Millie looked down as she felt guilt seeing Ezekiel so hurt, as Alejandro spoke to Owen after what just happened, "Keep in mind Owen, we haven't been in First Class since the Yukon, so we have no reason to be cocky."
"But with you as our leader, Al. We have nothing to worry about and we'll be a strong team moving forward, look I even put Beary away." Owen said as Brick spoke up.
"I have him sir." Brick said as he showed the teddy bear that Owen got in the Yukon.
"See, and I am not even afraid of flying. Watch me dance." Owen said, getting out of his seat as he tried to tap dance. Unfortunately, the plane began to have turbulence as Economy Class was shaking.
Millie then looked and saw something that instantly scared her, "The hole is opening back up!"
As soon as Millie spoke, the hole in Economy Class reappeared as both Jen and Justin collided with each other knocking each other out cold, and Owen fell through the hole as he was holding on for dear life barely hanging onto the plane, "Help, somebody help, pretty please, Al! Give me an Al hand bro!" Owen pleaded out as Alejandro glared at him.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Ugh that stupid fat idiot, if it were up to me, he'd be falling out of the sky, he disgraced my name, Alejandro Burromuerto, and he is absolutely useless. Why no one else on the team will get rid of him, I don't know."
Back To Scene
Luckily for Owen, both Brick and Jo were pulling him back into the plane and managed to as Trent shoved a giant crate into the hole to keep it shut, and for everyone in that room's sake, for good. Owen, who was happy to be alive, cheered out, "I'm alive. Come on guys, group hug!"
Brick instantly joined the hug, while Jo was really hesitant, "No thanks, hugging isn't my thing."
"Oh, come on soldier, we saved a man's life today." Brick reasoned as Jo sighed and joined the hug reluctantly to some degree.
Confessional- Jo
"My closest ally is Brick, and it seems like lately Owen has been spending more time with both of us, or at least this morning. The problem is that they are both just so happy and positive, which isn't my style at all. But I can't be picky about my allies so if that means group hugs, that means group hugs."
Back To Scene
As the tension of the near-death experience was going away, Ezekiel walked back to see what happened, "I heard something going on up here, eh."
"Nothing major, dude." Brody explained, "Just a giant hole again in Economy Class." At that moment a bird appeared on top of Ezekiel's hat. "Aw dude, looks like someone has a friend."
"What are you talking about, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"You got a bird on your head." Damien explained, "Do you want me to shoo it away?"
"No, not at all, I always wanted a pet during the competition." Ezekiel happily said as Harold and Damien looked at each other in astonishment at Ezekiel too stunned to speak.
First Class
Meanwhile in First Class, Courtney, Gwen, and Scott were sitting together in the seats as Courtney grabbed a couple of chocolates provided by the stewardess "Winning has its advantages." Courtney said as she ate a couple of chocolates before noticing Gwen had a slight look of guilt from Gwen, "You okay, Gwen?"
"Fine, just fine." Gwen quickly said.
"Well, I'm going to take a nap before Chris and Blaineley torture us today," Courtney said as she briefly fell asleep.
Gwen was relieved that Courtney was asleep as she had a growing amount of guilt from the night before when she threw the meat grinder out of the plane. "Did we do the right thing?" Gwen asked Scott.
"What, throwing the meat grinder out?" Scott asked, "You want Heather out, right?"
"Of course I do, but what if we get caught." Gwen wondered in fear as the guilt was still high for her.
"Look, let me handle this from here, the moment the meat grinder is mentioned and gets brought up I'll blame it on Heather, and she will be eliminated soon after." Scott explained.
Luckily for Scott, his explanation seemed to relax Gwen enough, "I really hope so, I just don't know if I can ever do another act of sabotage even if it's against Heather."
The stewardess that gave Courtney a chocolate, was now walking by Cody, Mickey, and Kitty as they had designed a bell system to notify them of Sierra approaching Cody as the stewardess accidentally bumped one of the bells "Ah, no more foot rubs Sierra!" Cody called out.
Kitty and Mickey, who were both awake, anticipated this, as Kitty decided it was her turn to calm Cody down, "Calm down Cody, Sierra's not here, she is not here, Heather and Emma are talking to her." Kitty reassured.
Cody had calmed down from what Kitty said, "Thanks Kitty, and … Mickey." Cody said awkwardly towards the latter. As Cody was still trying to figure out his growing feelings for Kitty, not to mention how would his best friend Mickey respond, he knows that Mickey has expressed his lack of interest in others in a romantic sense, but Cody felt like Mickey was blind to not at least feel something romantic towards Kitty.
Speaking of Kitty, she could sense something was awkward between Cody and Mickey, "I'll leave for a bit and go see how Zoey is doing, let you guys have some guy talk." Kitty said as she stood up and walked away.
"Wait, but I.." Cody began to say until Kitty was well out of earshot.
"Is something wrong?" Mickey asked.
Cody didn't want to talk to Mickey about his feelings about Kitty and decided at that moment to try and get Mickey to leave him alone, "Nothing is wrong." Cody said bitterly.
"Obviously something is wrong, you haven't talked to me since the last challenge when you yelled at me in a bathroom in Brazil. Heh there's a sentence I never thought I would say. But seriously what's wrong?" Mickey asks.
"Look, I'm sorry for snapping at you yesterday, it's just I'm really confused, but this doesn't concern you." Cody said as Mickey walked away even more confused than ever.
"I hope he's okay." Mickey told himself.
Confessional- Mickey
"Something is obviously wrong with Cody, I don't know what it could possibly be, but I figured Cody would trust me enough to tell me. Did I do something wrong to make him confused or something?"
Confessional- Cody
"Look, I do like Kitty a lot. Heh, it's crazy, but besides Gwen no one else can know about this crush, and I can't tell Mickey, he obviously would like her too, and I don't want our friendship ruined because of this."
First Class
On the couches in First Class, Sierra was sitting on the couches with Emma and Heather by her side, as she was just finishing a statement "And that's how I became president of my 15th Total Drama fan club, and this one was an anti-Tyler one." Sierra said.
"Um, that was your fourth anti Tyler blog, and I'm confused about why you have something against him." Emma stated in confusion.
"Well Tyler's unpopular online to say the least, the online fans think he has no charisma, he's most remembered for Lindsay forgetting him and people find his whole nice and klutz act to be a total farce, and thinks he is a stereotypical high school jock, which I agree with." Sierra explained,
Emma gasped at that news, "I had no idea the online fanbase could be vicious, back when Chase and I were dating he always looked at the comments on our videos before letting me see them." Emma explained as Heather rolled her eyes in annoyance at Sierra's behavior.
Confessional- Heather
"I can't stand Sierra, like I said, making my friends is not my style. But I am trying to recruit her into an alliance or at least make sure she isn't targeting Emma or myself especially. But she is exhausting. "
Back To Scene
Heather decided to change the topic, "Great, so you must have some idea of who's going next."
Sierra pulled out a graph and began speaking some more, "Yep according to my stats no team avoids elimination 4 or more times in a row."
"What are you talking about?" Emma asked.
"I think our team is going on a losing streak sooner than later, especially if we get O.C.T.B.I syndrome," Sierra explained.
"What?!" Heather asked in pure confusion.
"Overconfident then blowing it syndrome, that is such an obvious saying." Sierra said confidently.
"I uh, don't think overconfident is two words." Emma said.
"So what you are saying Sierra is that our team will be on the chopping block soon." Heather said, ignoring Emma's statement.
"Duh, you know Heather for a person who has been on two seasons of reality TV, you're a total newbie when it comes to this knowledge." Sierra said in a mocking tone.
Heather, trying to contain her anger, decided to compliment Sierra, "Uh thanks. You're really smart Sierra."
Confessional- Sierra
"I'm already preparing souvenirs for my postseason online charity auction. Like every time Heather thinks she is playing me, I make a notch on my belt, and this is my third belt. Heather thinks she is playing me, but I am playing her."
Back To Scene
Back in First Class Cody was shown sleeping again, however he had something in his mouth as Sierra began speaking, "There, there, cutie pie." Sierra said.
"What the AAAHHHH!" Cody screamed out in terror at what Sierra did, and in Cody's eyes invading his personal space.
"Awe, you're so cute when you're terrified." Sierra said, grabbing Cody's cheek before walking away, oblivious to her own actions.
Both Kitty and Mickey overheard and ran over to Cody, as Mickey spoke up, "Sorry, we left you alone. This is on me; I shouldn't have left your sight."
Cody was growing angrier and more annoyed at his predicament, "It's fine. But can you guys make sure you're by my side at all times as it's getting to be a lot." Cody explained.
"How bad is it?" Kitty asked.
"Last night she took another one of my toothbrushes and took another pair of my underwear as I'm down to just a few of each as she has basket weave a second basket using my underwear." Cody explained as he shuddered in horror as Kitty looked at him sympathetically while Mickey had a look of pure horror and disgust.
"Uh Kitty." Mickey asked nervously, and trembling.
"Yeah, what's wrong?" Kitty asked back, having an idea of what Mickey was going to ask.
"Can you uh, watch over Cody. I have to go to the bathroom and hurl, because that's gross." Mickey explained and before Kitty could protest Mickey had taken off.
Confessional- Cody
"Bleh. Sierra is gross. I just hope her fingers weren't anywhere disgusting."
Confessional- Sierra
(Shows her fingers in her armpits) "Cody is so into me!"
Confessional- Kitty
"At this point Sierra is just way too much to deal with. Who steals another person's toothbrushes and underwear, that's just something else."
Confessional- Mickey
(Is shown hunched over at the confessional toilet and throwing up) "Sierra is appalling!"
Economy Class
The show showed a map with the plane swirling around, and then cut to Noah looking out the window, "Woah aren't those the German Alps, wow! It's even more amazing in person." Noah said, looking in astonishment and trying to get either Julia or Sky's attention.
Julia was the one who heard Noah and walked up to him, "I so agree. If I had my phone, I would pose a picture with them and say the hashtag "cold and beautiful."
Noah was cringing on the inside at what Julia just said but was trying to show genuine interest, "That sounds interesting." Noah said, trying to sound convincing.
Confessional- Noah
"Look okay, I am trying to sound invested in whatever Julia and Sky want to do. Owen and I agreed that for the time being we can't be seen together that much since everyone in my first alliance is gone, so Owen is spending more time with Brick and Jo, while I decided to spend more time with Sky and Julia. The problem? Sky fell asleep early last night so I spent the whole night with Julia, and she is so vain, and now I have to try avocado toast when I get out. Whatever that is. I'm not happy about this in case you can't tell."
Confessional- Julia
"I know that Noah is just trying to cozy up to me, but I will take any other allies I can get, and when the time is right, and I don't need him anymore, he'll be gone."
Back To Scene
As Ezekiel, Leshawna, and Harold were sitting on the bench, Blaineley's voice was heard on the speaker, "In preparation for the landing please unbuckle your seat belts and head for the cargo hold."
Ezekiel looked at the bird on his lap and grew a frown, "Aw am I going to have to leave this little guy?" Ezekiel asked.
"Do whatever you want, I imagine there's no rule saying you can't bring a bird to the challenge." Leshawna reasoned.
"I looked at the contract before the show. There's nothing against it." Millie said as she walked by the three of them.
"I really hope that girl is not a new version of Courtney." Harold grumbled to himself.
"I doubt it sweetie, let's see what sick twisted challenge they have for us today." Leshawna told Harold who felt reassured.
Pre-Challenge
As all 38 contestants walked over the cargo hold, Leshawna spoke up and asked, "Now what?"
At that moment, the cargo doors opened causing everyone to fall out of the plane screaming they fell a hundred feet down into the snow with Tyler and Lindsay falling first and on top of each other, Tyler giggled and joked "At least we're together right now." After that both Lindsay and Tyler began making out in the snow.
Damien popped out of the snow, looked at the couple making out in disbelief, "That's my allies." Damien said as he looked at the camera in disbelief.
Tyler took a second to stop making out with Lindsay to raise a fist and yelled out "Damn right!"
Right next to the three of them was Owen who just fell as Jo landed on Owen's stomach as Owen grunted in response, luckily for Jo she was appreciative, "Thanks Owen for breaking my fall."
Alejandro had also fallen in the snow and saw Leshawna falling right above him, and he decided at that moment to help Leshawna cushion her fall, unfortunately since Leshawna was on the heavier side she ended up crushing him, "Uh, thanks Alejandro." Leshawna said awkwardly.
"No problem!" Alejandro said in a muffled tone.
Confessional- Leshawna
"It's weird, I would normally be all over a guy like Alejandro. I mean look at him! That boy is fine. But with Harold and I being a couple, I just feel awkward around Alejandro. I'm just glad Harold didn't try to break my fall, I may have broken a few of that boy's bones."
Back To Scene
Tyler and Lindsay both emerged from the snow with ruffled hair that was wet as Millie walked up to them, as she asked, "What happened to you guys?"
Lindsay and Tyler had a look of guilt as Lindsay said, "Tyler just has a way with words I guess." The two kissed again, as Lindsay then said, "I am so glad to remember you." Millie gave the camera a flat look before it went static.
Confessional- Millie
"I've gotten to know Tyler the last couple of weeks and I'm pretty confident in saying that he doesn't have a way with words."
Back To Scene
Back in the present, Cody and Mickey were shown stuck in a giant snow pile as Kitty was trying to pull them out, "Ugh! I could use some help over here."
"I've got you." Zoey said, running over to the scene, as both girls were trying to pull them out now.
Unfortunately for Kitty she pulled too hard, and she fell in the snow with Cody landing right on top of her with both only being inches away from kissing each other as both blushed in embarrassment. "Heh, heh, thanks for helping me out." Cody nervously said while chuckling.
"Yeah, but get off of me, before Sierra sees." Kitty explained as Cody quickly picked himself off of Kitty.
The scene then showed the bird from the plane flying right into Ezekiel's lap, "Yes Mrs. Birdo is safe!" Ezekiel cheered out.
Harold overheard what Ezekiel just said, and decided in an attempt to further bond with him, askes him, "You named the bird Birdo, as in the Mario character?"
Ezekiel however was clueless at what Harold was alluding to "What's Mario? Is that a friend back home, eh."
Confessional- Harold
"Who doesn't know the Super Mario Brothers franchise, there's Mario, Luigi, Peach, Bowser, Daisy, Donkey Kong- [static]"
Musical Number
Chris and Blaineley were both shown riding separate parasails with each having large electrical fans as Chris spoke up in a whisper, "We're in Germany today folks. First things first, we're in Avalanche territory so you may want to keep it down."
Lindsay, who didn't get the memo yelled out, "What, there's a sale at the khaki bar! Aaaaaahhhhh!" Luckily for her both Tyler and Brody put a hand over her mouth to prevent a possible avalanche.
"Khaki bars aren't even that big of a deal, trust me." Jen whispered to Trent.
"Welcome to today's musical challenge, avoid the song avalanche, to avoid a potentially harmful tumble down the mountain and an awful climb back up, the singing nice and not loud." Blaineley instructed.
(Bold Means Singing)
"Keep it down so I can win the loot." Noah sang, trying to hush Owen up.
"Try I will. But I will have to toot." Owen sang, quietly except for the last part.
"That won't be a hoot." Bowie sang next, cringing at the thought of Owen farting.
"I think you ought to stay mute.". Julia threatened Bowie, annoyed at his presence, and once again letting the facade of her being nice, continue to slip away.
"Toot or mute on, you all suck, and are all still dumb as (censored)" Heather boasted walking away from Team Style.
"Wait till you are voted off for being such a lout." Gwen threatened Heather, in annoyance at the Queen Bee acting all high and mighty.
Record Scratch
The song came to a screeching halt as Katie spoke up, "What's a lout?
Scott decided to try and get the song back in line, "Don't you worry and don't you pout."
Ella grabs Katie's hand so she would stop asking questions and decided to try and dance with her so the song wouldn't end again, as Emma asked, "Where were we with the song?"
Courtney decided to sing, and this brought the song back fully to normal, "I'll dance a jig when Chris shoves Heather out the plane."
"That'll be the day." Gwen sang back as well.
The song then shifted to showing Alejandro with Leshawna as he was once again trying to manipulate her, "When you don't hold back and lead the pack, truly there is nothing stopping you."
Leshawna finally decided to let her guard down thinking Alejandro looked at her as a friend and was just trying to motivate her, "Swimming in your eyes, I know that I won't die, but I can't lie, while you're not the man of my eyes, but now I can do anything I set my mind to, and nothing will stop me from leaving so soon."
The song cut to Tyler and Lindsay who were cuddling closely together, as the music slowed down, Lindsay picked the song back up as she sang "Tyler you are the man of my dreams, I am so glad you came back to be with me, and today I know it's true, that I love you."
Tyler was almost too stunned to even speak, let alone sing as he asked Lindsay, "You, you love me?" Tyler asked as Lindsay nodded and kissed Tyler on the cheek. Tyler, forgetting he was supposed to keep quiet, shouted out, "She loves me, SHE LOVES ME!" Unfortunately, Tyler doing this caused an avalanche to start.
End Of Musical Number
Before the snow engulfed everyone in its path however, Owen had managed to be near a deer that was on the mountainside and grabbed both Jo and Brick to ride down the mountain, this didn't stop all 3 of them from screaming down the hill, nope what stopped the screaming was Jo smelling something, "Oh come on Brick, did you pee your pants, again!?"
Brick, who was still terrified, tried to deny, "No, I didn't." Brick said, but he knew that Jo was right, while the three of them were going down the mountain on the deer saw Shawn enjoy the rush of the avalanche while Damien was terrified, and Courtney was buried underneath the snow. Despite Brick wanting to help others, he decided to stay on the deer with Owen and Jo.
"Ha, ha, awesome!" Chris said, laughing at the contestant's condition.
Confessional- Heather
"Alejandro flirting with Leshawna, I would puke, but he is not even worth it. Did you hear him? Even his singing is up to something, at least Leshawna rejected his ass."
Confessional- Damien
"I guess being allied with Tyler and Lindsay means being threatened within an inch of my life, going through an avalanche. Note to self, make sure Tyler and Lindsay don't say or do anything too stupid. They are nice, but smarts aren't their strong suit (chuckles) that's for sure."
Walking Up The Mountain
On the walk up to the mountain Gwen and Zoey were shown talking "Gosh, this place is almost as cold as the Yukon. Hopefully this is the last challenge we have to deal with temperatures like this." Gwen complained.
"It's Chris, and we aren't even halfway done with the season, Chris probably has a lot of cold places planned." Zoey joked, as both girls laughed.
Further down the mountain Leshawna was shown walking as Harold called for her, "Leshawna, wait up!"
"What up string bean?" Leshawna asked.
"During the song I saw Alejandro talking with you and I was wondering what's going on, not that I am jealous. Gosh! I am not, I just was curious, and you are more than free to do what you want and-" Harold began rambling.
Luckily for Harold, Leshawna put her hands over his mouth to shut him up and then kissed his cheek, "Alejandro has been trying to flirt with me and before you go off and confront him, first of all don't. Second of all, he was giving me a massive confidence boost, but just remembered even though you are the man of my eyes, we can't let anyone know about us, can't have the target on our backs." Leshawna explained.
"Well then, after you milady." Harold gestured. Alejandro had however, appeared now behind them out of range, as he seemed to be close enough to hear them.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Now I know why Leshawna has been so flaky towards my advances. However, I now know what to do with this new revelation."
Back To Scene
Further down the mountain was Lindsay, Tyler, Damien and Millie as Lindsay and Tyler had a look of guilt "Did we embarrass you guys?" Tyler asked meekly.
"Of course not." Millie quickly said as Damien raised his eyebrows as Lindsay and Tyler walked away holding each other's hands. "What?"
"Shouldn't we have told them, that was embarrassing so they don't threaten our lives accidentally?" Damien asked.
"They are our allies and friends, and if we hurt their feelings, it'll be an even bigger mess." Millie explained as Damien shook his head in understanding, albeit reluctantly. As they continued walking through the snow the camera panned to Brody who had an unsure look on his face.
Confessional- Brody
"Dudes, I don't know if I am acting all crazy, but Damien dude just seems so paranoid, I think that's the word. Like he is nervous and just a bomb of nerves waiting to go off."
Start Of First Challenge
Owen was shown walking up the mountain as he smelled something "I smell…. food!" Owen cheered out and gasped as he began running the last part of the mountain.
However, Bowie also smelled what the food was and was trying to keep up with Owen, "Owen don't eat it!"
Owen didn't listen to Bowie though and saw the food, "It's beautiful."
Owen began eating said food when Chris walked up to him, "Easy tiger, the food is not for consuming. Does Blaineley care to explain?"
"Don't think of this as raw meat, think of it as raw building material." Blaineley stated.
"Does this mean we have to play with each other's meat?" Duncan asked as some people snickered and laughed at his joke whole Justin punched him in the arm for that joke.
"Dude, don't be inappropriate." Justin whispered aggressively.
Chris decided to ignore Duncan's joke as he continued "Over 15 hundred species of sausage call Germany home. Hence today's challenge aka shut it and stuff it."
"Here's how it works, each team must make 3 giant German sausages by shoveling meat into the grinder, push it down and mix the mixture out into an oversized sausage casing, do it 3 times and your team will be good to go. All without losing a finger or toe, trust me we don't want lawsuits." Blaineley explained.
"What about thumbs are they okay to lose?" Owen asked as Lindsay and Bridgette cringed at what Owen just said.
"No, now stop talking so much Owen." Chris impatiently snapped.
Heather however decided to speak up "I'm sorry but sausages? This is the most disgusting challenge yet. What the hell is wrong with you guys?" Heather asked.
Katie spoke up next as she was looking green, "I am going to need a moment." Katie ran off screen to puke soon after.
"Count yourself lucky, it's not hot dogs, no beaks, hooves, or busts in this meat pile." Chris joked.
Bridgette was the next one to not look well, "That's my cue." Bridgette said as she soon joined Katie in puking as the show also showed Ezekiel petting his pet bird as he was hoping it wouldn't get hurt.
"Once everyone is done puking, we can further explain this part of the challenge, nah we are on a time crunch." Blaineley stated. "You'll have to be fast and efficient or risk at least one incomplete sausage. Which will be hard to ride down the hill." The camera panned to a pretty looking hill with rainbows, "What the, yeah not that hill. That hill."
"If you guys had an electric meat grinder you could plant it in the portable generator and voila stuffed sausages in seconds." Chris explained.
"How far is the plane from here? We left the electric meat grinder in First Class last night; I can go get it." Topher said as he began to take off.
"Now is the time." Scott whispered over to Gwen, determined to send Heather home that night.
Gwen had a ton of conflicting emotions going through her head, but in that moment, she decided to make her choice, "I don't know why he is going back to look for it, I saw it last night where Heather sleeps but it wasn't there this morning."
"What happened to it?" Ella asked.
"I think Heather threw it out and saw it as useless." Gwen accused.
"That makes sense, since Heather didn't like the meat grinder at all." Sierra reasoned.
"I knew I should have tackled you last night Heather and kicked you out of First Class when you threw the grinder out, because you would do that to spite all of us." Courtney accused.
"I didn't throw it out, Gwen is making shit up." Heather said, defending herself, as she was confused why she was accused.
"I don't believe you, you selfish bitch." Courtney said angrily. "You are a self involved, lazy, useless, formerly bald dimwitted moron who doesn't have enough brain power to realize a reward may eventually come in handy." Courtney once again accused Heather, getting very angry at Heather at this point even more than normal.
"Once again I didn't throw it out, if I would have thrown it out, I would've done it the day we got it, not over a week afterwards. Gwen is lying." Heather defended herself.
"If we lose tonight, you are getting a freaking beatdown." Anne Maria threatened.
"Does anyone even believe me right now?" Heather asked.
"I do." Emma said, trying to defend her ally.
"Oh, piss off Emma. You only believe Heather since she helped you get rid of Chase, and you are either too stupid or naive to see the poisonous viper that Heather is. Honestly even if we win today, I suggest that Heather doesn't sleep in First Class." Courtney stated.
"Okay that's going too far." Cody said, getting himself involved in the conversation.
"Are you defending her?!" Courtney said yelling at Cody.
"I'm not defending Heather, but if we win today, we can all put this meat grinder stuff behind us." Cody said as Courtney huffed in annoyance.
Mickey, who knew the truth about what happened with the meat grinder could only look down, "I'm sorry." Mickey quietly said to himself as he felt nothing but guilt.
Confessional- Courtney
"I swear every day I have to spend with Heather just makes me want to throw her out the plane, I know she sabotaged the team and threw the meat grinder out. Scott wouldn't lie to me about this.
Confessional- Scott
"All according to plan. Man, Courtney she is so hot when she gets all angry. Wowza! (Pauses) Hopefully this confessional never airs."
Confessional- Mickey
"All I wanted to do at that moment was tell the truth and that it was Scott and Gwen who threw the meat grinder out last night, not Heather. But Courtney just went insane, and you had Anne Maria threatening violence, heck Emma barely defended Heather and Courtney called her naive or stupid, (sighs) I am such a coward."
Back To Scene
"Are we at least going to have a reward after this dumb salmonella challenge?" Leshawna asked.
"Mm salmonella that sounds so good." Owen said as his stomach grumbled.
"Is Owen going to get himself sick today?" Bowie asked Justin.
"Yep, just let it happen. No one comes in between Owen and his food." Justin responded back.
"Oh, there'll be prizes for the teams that make it down the hill alive, and the losing team will have a punishment for the second part of the challenge." Chris explained.
Chef displayed a small German outfit as Blaineley introduced it, "The penalty outfit everyone."
"Ooh that's a tight squeeze." Kitty said as she shuddered in disgust.
"This challenge is officially on!" Chris yelled out.
Beginning of The Challenge
"Since Bridgette is not feeling well, I'm taking the lead for this challenge, Lindsay you along with Damien and Millie are going to stuff the sausage." Leshawna instructed.
"Yes Leshawna, on it!" Lindsay cheered out.
"Tyler and I will do the grinding, Geoff, you Jasmine, Shawn and Brody grab a shovel, and Harold, you and Ezekiel are shoving it into the grinder for Tyler and me. Everyone understands their role?" Leshawna asked.
"What about Bridgette?" Geoff asked as he looked over to Bridgette.
"She'll be fine boy, we have more than enough people to get through all this raw meat. When we're all done go pick her up, I imagine she'll want to be left alone." Leshawna told Geoff who seemed reassured. "Now let's go and believe the impossible as pigs are going to fly today."
Over at Team Amazon, Heather and Emma are standing on top of the machine with meat piling up, "Forget it, I am not shoving meat into the grinder as it is unsafe."
"You threw the meat grinder out so you and your little lapdog Emma can do the grossest part or fuck off." Courtney threatened.
Ella had her hands over her ears "LA, la, lah!" Ella nervously said, trying to ignore all the arguing going on with her team. Katie decided to walk up to her best friend in the game.
"Are you okay? What's wrong?" Katie asked.
"I just don't want to hear all the arguing going on." Ella explained. "All the screaming, and yelling. It's just not nice to listen too It." Ella said as she and Katie walked off, while the rest of the team continued on.
With Team Style, Alejandro was instructing his team, "Jo and Brick we need your strength on the grinder, Owen, Bowie, Duncan, Justin you guys need to stuff that casing like your lives depend on it."
"Aye, aye Captain!" Owen said.
"Trent, I, and Sky are going to do the shoveling and Julia puts the meat into the grinder." Alejandro instructed.
However, Julia spoke up, "I can't, the challenge yesterday and walking up this hill makes me feel so weak. I can provide good moral support."
Alejandro winced in anger, "Ugh, fine. Sky you will put the meat in the grinder."
"Fine, I guess. Let's go!" Sky said.
Noah however noticed he wasn't put in any part of helping the team, "What about Jen and I?" Noah asked.
"Astute observation my friend. You and Jen are probably our weakest players physically and this is a very strenuous task so it's best you guys sit out entirely so you can help in the second part of the challenge." Alejandro explained.
"Whatever." Noah said as he and Jen walked away. Jen however sighed in sadness as Noah raised his eyebrows. As both of them walked away, Noah, noticing something was wrong with Jen decided to try and see what was off about her, mainly to potentially recruit another ally, but there was a small part of him that was intrigued by her in a platonic way. "What's wrong, you still seem moody."
Jen was admittedly thrown off by Noah's question and immediately felt defensive, "I'm fine."
"You're not, if it has to deal with Trent, I'll leave you alone as I am no expert in love." Noah explained.
Jen was still really apprehensive about opening up to Noah, as they never had talked much, but she also didn't want Noah to constantly speculate about what was bugging her, "It's not him. If you really have to know it's me underperforming in the challenges, I lost a fashion design challenge yesterday."
"But we didn't have to send anyone home and it wasn't like your fashion choices made us second place yesterday." Noah reasoned.
"Even with that said, I am a perfectionist, whenever I put my mind to something I accomplish it and do it absolutely flawlessly." Jen said, looking down.
"You can try and get over it." Noah bluntly said, not realizing what he was saying was the exact opposite of what Jen wanted to hear.
Jen took offense to Noah brushing aside how she felt and decided to insult him herself, "I guess that response explains to me why you have never been in love. Not to mention your sweater vest is tacky as can be. Ugh, I'm going to go see how the team is doing." Jen said as she stood up.
Noah, taking offense to what Jen said, tried to quickly stand up, but all of a sudden, he heard something snap, "Ow! Damn it!" Noah yelled out.
"What now?" Jen asked in annoyance.
"Oh nothing other than the fact I twisted my ankle, so I am going to need to be carried back." Noah asked.
"You can't be serious." Jen said in annoyance.
"You may impress Trent if you carry me over." Noah taunted as Jen looked unsure of what she was going to do.
Meanwhile
Back with Team Amazon Heather was very slowly pushing the meat grinder as Emma noticed, "Don't worry I got this."
"Hey Heather, less yacking and more packing the meat." Courtney demanded.
"At least I'm doing something unlike Sierra." Heather pointed out.
Sierra was sculpting a meat version of Cody and kissed it "Awe you are so beautiful meat Cody." Sierra gushed.
Mickey, Kitty, Zoey, and Gwen who were stuffing the sausage overheard what Sierra said and saw Cody and Courtney's faces, as Zoey asked, "Is meat Cody as disgusting as it sounds?"
"Yep, it is, someone swap with me, I don't want to look at a meat version of myself." Cody protested, Gwen volunteered to switch roles raising her hand as she and Cody swapped places.
"Is meat Cody really as gross as it sounds?" Mickey asked.
"She got my facial structure down perfectly." Cody told Mickey, which was enough to make Mickey take his word for it.
"That's something else." Mickey said.
Meanwhile
Back with Team Victory and their sausage Lindsay and Millie were stuffing the sausage as you could hear Shawn off screen "Guys we're almost done. We got this!" The camera then panned to him and Brody shoveling the sausage in the grinder.
"Dudes this is so awesome, yeah, awesome." Brody also cheered out however at that moment Ezekiel's bird had unknowingly landed in the meat pile at the same time Brody overshot his throw and it landed Ezekiel's bird into the grinder. "Oh no! Ezekiel I'm sorry dude."
"BIRDO!" Ezekiel cried out instantly knowing what happened as he jumped over to where Lindsay and Millie were, "No! Birdo!" As luck would have if the bird appeared however, it was completely skinned, and alive as Lindsay and Millie screamed out in disgust, Ezekiel who was next to the bird breathed a sigh of relief. "Birdo is alive!"
Brody ran over to see what happened, "Yay, I didn't kill an animal dude." However, the bird threw a handful of sausage and pecked his hand "Ow!" Brody complained as Ezekiel was shown glaring at him. "Sorry Zeke."
The camera flashed away to Team Amazon as it shows a pathetic sausage being shown with Zoey and Mickey doing their best to stuff it as Courtney yelled out in frustration "Ugh! Thanks to Sierra there's no more meat left. This is a disaster."
"We could use meat Cody." Heather said.
"I can't take her being so weird anymore, I'm taking it from her." Kitty yelled in annoyance. "Hey Sierra, I know you made meat Cody, but we could really use it for the team."
"But I want my meat Cody all for myself, especially since you and Mickey have to always be around the real Cody." Sierra said as she tightly hugged said sculpture of Cody until she lost her grip and meat Cody was sent spiraling down the cliff. "Meat Cody, no!"
"I guess we aren't using that, and we're left with one and a quarter sausage." Courtney observed.
"She used over half of our raw sausage?!" Mickey asked in bewilderment.
The camera flashed to show each of the teams working on their final sausages with the camera zooming in on Jasmine and Shawn shoveling the last part, "Hey thanks for doing my part of the challenge back in Iceland Jasmine, Bridgette told me yesterday about that."
"It's no big deal mate. I just wanted to make up for it after the whole zombie obsession and what I said." Jasmine stated, looking down in shame and embarrassment.
Team Style's Sausage
The camera zoomed out and it turns out Jen took Noah's offer and was carrying the snarky know it all, "Heh heh, look Cody's got a tiny sausage." Noah joked.
"At least my team hasn't eaten a sausage" Cody yelled out.
"What does that mean?" Jen asked in confusion. Everyone from Team Style looked at the end of the machine who wasn't stuffing the sausage and the sight shocked them. Owen had his mouth over where the sausage was supposed to keep be and had digested a whole one.
"So spicy, so good." Owen moaned.
Jo had stopped grinding the meat and made her way over "How the hell did this happen?" Jo asked as each of Bowie, Justin, and Duncan looked at each other nervously.
Confessional- Bowie, Justin, and Duncan
All 3 of them were in the confessional together with Bowie on the left, Justin in the middle and Duncan on the right, as Duncan spoke up, "Who wants to start?"
"Not me, it wasnt my idea." Bowie said.
"I'll do it, Owen was complaining about not having any food today, so Bowie and I decided to dare him to eat the raw sausage that was getting grinded in the meat grinder." Justin explained.
"I just want to defend myself and say that I didn't think Owen was going to do it." Bowie said.
"Of course, Owen was going to eat raw sausage, last season he ate plastic props during the first day, raw meat wasn't going to stop him!" Duncan protested.
"You could've stopped him." Justin said in response.
Back To Scene
"Dude, that was raw meat, not good." Chris said in amusement.
"If we somehow lose because of this, it's their fault for enabling Owen." Jo protested.
"No worries, I have an idea, we can have some of us ride Owen down the hill." Alejandro said as he walked up to Owen.
Courtney, who had overheard what was going on, immediately protested "No way, that's cheating, forget it!" Courtney said while unknowingly slapping Cody in the face and knocking him to the ground.
"Since Owen is full and stuffed with meat he fits the bill, oh and Courtney you may have other things to worry about." Chris said.
"What could I possibly-" Courtney asked before getting interrupted as Sierra pounced on her to beat her up.
"How dare you hurt my Cody!" Sierra yelled out.
Ride Down The Hill
Both Team Style and Team Victory were making their final preparations to go down the hill as the Owen sled had Owen himself, Alejandro, Justin, Duncan and Bowie as Alejandro volunteered to have himself 'deal' with the people who stuffed Owen full of sausage even if both Jo and Alejandro knew he was full of it, the second sausage had Jo, Trent, Brick, Jen, and Noah riding down and that left Julia and Sky with the final sausage.
On Team Victory Leshawna, Lindsay, Tyler, and Ezekiel were on the first sausage down the hill, with Bridgette, Geoff, Brody, Damien and Millie on the second one, and lastly Harold, Shawn, and Jasmine on the final one.
Chris yelled out "Forgot to mention watch out for the rabid mountain goats, they are super deadly, and we brought them in special."
"We, or did you bring them in behind Don's back?" Blaineley asked as Chris flinched indicating the latter was true.
The scene flashed to Chef standing on top of a container unveiling a small goat that had a meek cry, while a bigger goat in front of it started to growl only for the smaller one to unleash a blood curdling scream revealing itself to be very deadly, Chef could only look away as the sound of the large goat being eaten were heard off screen, and when it was all done the 'cute' little goat was all that was left. The goat was shown growling as it leaped in the air towards the teams as the camera went to commercial break, only for it to show the same scene.
"Everyone, duck!" Leshawna called out.
"No it's a goat, Leshawna." Lindsay corrected Leshawna, however both Leshawna and Tyler ignored Lindsay and brought her head down.
The goat instead landed in Ezekiel's arms "Take it easy buddy, I am not going to hurt you." Ezekiel said as the goat calmed down. Ezekiel, feeling very proud of himself decided to brag, "Guys the goat has calmed down."
"That's great Ezekiel, but I am going nowhere near that thing." Tyler yelled out in response.
Right behind them was Team Victory's second sausage which had Damien screaming despite the goat being nowhere in sight, "Dude is enjoying the ride so much." Geoff observed.
"Yeah he is living in the moment." Brody yelled out.
Jasmine was trying to help guide the final sausage for Team Victory "Watch out for those rocks. Steer, Harold! Steer!" Jasmine yelled at Harold as Shawn looked at Jasmine in admiration.
"She's so amazing." Shawn said.
Team Amazon's Sausages
Team Amazon was shown looking at their one and a quarter sausage, as Topher put it best, "This one is perfect." Topher said as the camera showed the completed sausage, "This one isn't." The camera showed a rather pathetic looking sausage. "What do we do now?"
"This is all your fault Heather, you bitch, you lost the challenge for us." Courtney accused.
""Once again, I did not throw the fucking meat grinder off the plane, someone else did, and regardless Sierra wasted over half of our meat." Heather said as she pointed a finger at Courtney before turning around to look at Sierra.
"I'm not getting blamed for this." Sierra argued which got people like Heather, Cody, Kitty, and Mickey even more annoyed at the crazed fan.
"I don't care what Sierra did, this all started because of you Heather, and I'm going to make sure to eliminate you Heather or make your life miserable." Courtney threatened.
"You sound crazy like Izzy, oh wait Izzy at least didn't threaten harm to people out of malice." Heather argued back.
"ENOUGH!" Zoey yelled out. "Everyone just needs to stop and please just shut up! I can't take this anymore." Zoey yelled out.
Courtney rolled her eyes at Zoey's outburst, "What are you going to do?"
"I'm taking charge of this team right now for the day, and if you don't like it, I don't care. I am done with this bickering today, so here's how it's going to go, the deformed sausage can fit six people on it so everyone who was involved with the fight involved with the sausage is riding that while the rest of us are riding the functioning sausage. Any objections?" Zoey asked as Courtney and Heather raised their hands. "Anyone who isn't Courtney or Heather?" They both put their hands down soon after.
"So who's riding this?" Katie asked, looking down at the pathetic sausage.
"Thanks for asking Katie, I think Courtney, Heather, Emma, Anne Maria, Sierra and Gwen can ride it," Zoey explained.
"What the hell? Why am I riding the crappy sausage?" Gwen asked.
"Gwen, you're my friend but you started the argument so it's only fair, sorry." Zoey said meekly at the end, seemingly to lose her anger from earlier.
Confessional- Zoey
"I never realized until that moment I had a voice that could rise. But something had to be done, the fighting between Courtney and Heather was getting to be too much. Hopefully this doesn't make the team hate me though."
Confessional- Anne Maria
"Ugh, stupid Zoey, I'm convinced she put me on the horrible sausage because she wants me away from Topher, but she isn't subtle, and I know that Topher would only date classy ladies like me." (burps)
Back To Scene
The functioning sausage from Team Amazon was reaching the cliff as Topher yelled out, "Good luck ladies." As Team Amazon's functioning sausage took off.
"So how do we fix this?" Emma asked.
"I have an idea, jump on it!" Heather said,
"Well we already lost today, so we might as well look like bigger idiots." Gwen reasoned as every one of the six people meant to ride on the deformed sausage jumped on it, and it soon was formed into a borderline snowboard.
"Perfect, it's more dangerous but we can snowboard. Here's where we make our descent." Heather yelled out. "Hold on!" The ride started off fine, and soon the group of six women made an awesome pose in the air, but that also led to a rough landing where besides Emma who was desperately holding onto the snowboard sausage everyone was sent down the hill roughly and Emma herself wasn't faring much better.
Meanwhile
Back with the functioning sausage, all eight of them were having a great time, as all of them cheered.
"Holy cow, this is so exciting!" Mickey said in pure adrenaline, unknowingly to him he was holding on tightly to Cody at the same time.
Zoey and Topher who were in the back of the sausage were also having a good time even if Zoey felt concerned, "Is it concerning in the slightest that we're in last?" Zoey asked.
"We're fine Zoey, and this is a once in a lifetime experience. Even if I never imagined I'd be riding a sausage." Topher commented. Zoey looked like she was about to say something, but due to the intense nature of the ride, she decided against it.
End Of First Challenge
With Team Styles's first sausage aka Owen, Alejandro had luckily brought a stick to help steer but due to Alejandro holding a grudge for Owen calling him Al, Alejandro had different ideas in mind, "Great steering Al. Ow!" Owen said as he hit a rock. "Be careful Al. Ow! Oh I'm okay. Ow!" Owen screamed out in pain.
Bowie however felt bad, "Dude stop it, there could be serious brain damage for Owen". Bowie reasoned.
"I don't think there's much up there anyway especially with all the sausage." Justin sarcastically said.
As luck would have it, each of Team Style's sleds consecutively made it down the hill, "I am never riding that type of sausage again, bleh." Bowie said as he dismounted off of Owen.
Soon after all 3 of Team Victory's sausage sleds and the functioning Team Amazon one were also across the finish line, as Ezekiel walked up to Harold, "Hey Harold, I got a new pet animal to replace Birdo. See, it's the mountain goat!"
"What'd you name this one? Goatee or something bud?" Harold asked with a tinge of annoyed anger at him.
"Nah, I will name him Groat the Goat clever huh?" Ezekiel asked.
"I should've seen that coming, good for you." Harold told Ezekiel wanting to be anywhere else.
Jasmine however heard a rumble and saw the deformed sausage board reach the finish line "Does anyone hear something mates?" Jasmine soon asked.
"Wasn't this Team Amazon's tiny sausage dudes?" Brody said as he turned around and saw a giant snowball containing everyone that was supposed to be on the small sausage, "It's a giant snowball!" Brody yelled out in pure fear.
The snowball was hurling down the hill at an insanely fast pace, and most people were frozen in fear, however before the snowball crashed into everyone Topher out of pure instinct pushed Zoey out of the way of the snowball as did Cody somehow with both Kitty and Mickey out of pure adrenaline . Trent had managed to get Jen out of the way as well. But only barely in the knick of time. The snowball then crashed into everyone who wasn't Zoey, Kitty, Mickey and Jen. For Zoey, Kitty and Jen they felt thankful they were pushed out of the way however for Mickey he was left confused even more with his best friend Cody.
Anne Maria had popped out of the snowball and could have sworn she saw Topher on the ground while Zoey didn't seem phased at all, she decided to ignore it however and walked up to Topher "Did you miss me, sweet cheeks?" Anne Maria flirted.
"Of course." Topher said, making sure that Zoey wasn't looking at him when he kissed Anne Maria on the cheek.
Start Of Final Challenge
As the contestants were getting reacquainted with where they were supposed to be, Chris, Chef, and Blaineley were all standing on a platform with what looked like 16 dance platforms on the stage, "Congrats on arriving first Team Style, and special shout out to Alejandro using Owen's face as a brake pad."
Owen popped out of the snow and asked while completely dazed "Did we win?"
"You haven't yet, it's time for the last part of the challenge. Competitors must learn and perform a traditional German dance on this very platform." Blaineley announced, as everyone looked annoyed.
"The mats are rigged to deliver a hilarious and painful shock if you misstep badly enough. Or if I need a laugh." Chris stated, laughing.
"You are sick and twisted." Damien said in disgust.
"Hey, other people's pain is how I enjoy my life." Chris defended himself.
"Is he always this psychotic?" Damien asked Tyler who just shrugged in response as he was confused on what Damien meant by psychotic.
"Last team left standing on the platform wins immunity and first class, second place gets immunity, and the lasers will send the 11th person out the door." Chris further told the contestants.
"Where is the reward you promised, you cheapskate, I have had enough of Germany." Leshawna complained.
"Patience my flower," Chris said hastily. "Since Team Style arrived first, they are going to get these traditional viking helmets." Chris announced as Chef threw a half dozen helmets over to Team Style landing in the hands of Noah, Alejandro, Owen, Justin, Jen, and Sky.
Noah however was too weak to even lift his helmet up at first "Dude these weigh a ton."
"Also this color is not flattering with what I'm wearing, I would look hideous." Jen shivered.
Chris however rolled his eyes, "I don't care. You both didn't help with the first part of the challenge so you must compete in this one." Chris demanded.
Noah was about to say something about Julia since she also didn't help with the sausage, but he took one look at Sky and mouthed for him to be quiet, which he did so reluctantly. Trent however decided to walk up to Jen and encourage her, "Come on Jen, you know you can pull any look as long as you believe in yourself." Trent encouraged Jen at that moment. Jen took one look at her helmet and decided it would be best to wear it.
"Team Victory, you guys get these hats." Blaineley announced as The hats landed in Leshawna, Shawn, Ezekiel, Damien, Bridgette, and Lindsay's hands and could be best described as sled hats.
"Ooh these are all the rage in Paris!" Lindsay noted looking at the design. "Oh and they fit just as well."
"I'm so jealous." Jen told herself quietly.
"Finally Team Amazon, here's your headwear." Blaineley said as Chef handed Team Amazon very light headwear, as it landed with Heather, Sierra, Cody, Ella and Mickey.
"Maybe it's reverse psychology, the losing team gets the best reward." Sierra tried to reason.
"Whatever helps you sleep at night, now Team Style everyone who has a helmet will compete." Chris announced as people like Jo frowned that she wasn't going to be able to show her physical strength in the challenge. "Team Victory you guys must pick one of the six of you to not compete."
"Ooh me! I just want to wear the hat, someone take a picture of me. Chris, are we allowed to keep these hats?" Lindsay asked.
"Sure thing, as for Team Amazon, it's punishment time two of the 5 of you must wear the penalty outfit." Chris announced as Cody had a look of pure fear on his face.
Confessional- Cody
"Look, I would give anything for Kitty and Mickey not to see me in the equivalent of a German bikini! I shudder at the thought of wearing that."
Back to Scene
Cody in pure desperation whispered in Sierra's ear "That outfit would look (gulps) really hot on you."
"Pick me! ME! Me! Me! Oh me!" Sierra cheered out.
"I also wouldn't mind wearing them." Ella said.
"Funny I was going to make both of you wear them, but now that you want too. Cody and Mickey you are wearing them instead!" Chris announced.
"No!" Cody yelled out as he was thrown the outfit.
"You both have 20 minutes to change in the loft just down the way, trust me, you'll need every minute." Chris said, pointing to a two story building near the challenge site.
Lodge's Bathroom
In the lodge's bathroom, Cody and Mickey entered as Cody sighed at the gross conditions, as the room was run down and only had one stall that looked like something out of a log cabin, "Of course the show has only one bathroom and one stall for privacy." Cody said in annoyance.
"What are we supposed to do then?" Mickey asked.
"Easy, you take the mirror, and I'll go to the stall." Cody said as he began to change into the lederhosen while Mickey just sighed in sadness and began changing himself.
Mickey however knew that now was probably his best and only shot getting down to why Cody had been acting so strange, not helping was Cody pushing him out of the way from the snowball earlier. "Cody, straight up, what's wrong?"
Cody was thrown off by Mickey wanting to talk while they were both changing, he figured pushing Mickey out of the way from the snowball would reassure Mickey they were fine and he wouldn't bug him about Kitty. "What are you talking about?" Cody said feigning ignorance.
"Please don't play dumb with me and treat me like a little kid, I'm weak, but I am not dumb. You keep sending me mixed signals with our friendship, first you lash out at me at the last challenge, and yet you now push me out of the way from a giant snowball." Mickey reasoned as he got the first part of the lederhosen on.
"It doesn't concern you Mickey." Cody said in a growingly irritated tone. He knew that Mickey was just going to keep prying at him.
"Then why are you so hot and cold with me, Cody? What did I do wrong Cody?" Mickey asked.
"You didn't do anything wrong, why are you so angry at me?" Cody asked back. "You're my best friend and I trust you the most out of everyone here."
Mickey had at this point turned around and asked Cody another question even if he was struggling for air on account of his rising blood pressure due to his anger, "Prove it. Open the stall door and look at me face to face and tell me what's wrong, otherwise I'll know this friendship was fake for you." Mickey said as he tried to catch his breath.
"Dude, I'm struggling with this lederhosen and I'm naked as this stuff is so tight. Besides, it's probably been 20 minutes and we are running late." Cody tried to reason, desperate to end the conversation.
"I promise I won't look anywhere but face to face, and we need to talk face to face right now. Besides, Sierra and Kitty would be the only ones to notice us missing." Mickey reasoned as he looked in the mirror and gasped at his outburst.
Cody was debating whether to open the door, he had forgotten his underwear on the plane so he went commando today, and that if he told Mickey about his crush on Kitty, it could ruin their friendship, but he also knew that Mickey was right that no one would notice they were missing out of a few people, and he didn't want to lose his closest friend, at that moment Cody made his decision and opened the stall door as the camera showed a censor bar at Cody's mid section and Mickey, luckily for him was still there. "Now what?"
"If you trust me like you said, tell me what's wrong." Mickey explained.
Cody briefly looked at the door, but then he remembered his situation with the lack of clothes and decided that he had to be honest with Mickey even if it risked their friendship. "Okay, over the last week or so, I've developed a crush on Kitty, it's just that we have similar interests, she is beautiful, always makes me feel heard, but also gives me my space . She's amazing." Cody explained. "But I'm also nervous about having this crush for many reasons, first of all is Sierra. I don't want her to know for my safety but also more importantly hers."
"Makes sense, Sierra is crazy." Mickey said as he chuckled.
"I also just assumed you had a crush on Kitty. I know you said that you don't feel feelings for others like that, but I just assumed you liked her." Cody explained.
"Are you done?" Mickey asked as Cody nodded, "Great. Look I could never hate you first of all, you're my best friend. I'm still trying to figure out romantic feelings especially after Zoey explained it yesterday. But I know I don't feel that way towards Kitty, she is like the cool sister I never had."
Cody felt relief at that moment, "That's a relief." Cody said as he put on the last of his lederhosen finally, "Why are you trying to figure out how romantic feelings work?"Cody asked. However he could tell Mickey was not exactly looking like he was wanting to talk about it, "Um, never mind. Thanks for being supportive of this thing with myself and Kitty, and remember I have your back." Cody said as both walked out.
Confessional- Mickey
"I'm glad that Cody and I got to the bottom of things. I trust Cody, but (long pause) I'm just not ready to talk all about myself yet."
Confessional- Cody
"I'm glad Mickey and I are cool. The dude is like the best best friend I could have and I didn't want our friendship destroyed. Also now once Sierra is gone, I can ask Kitty out. I will say even though Mickey is hiding something, when he wants to tell me I'll listen to him, but I don't want to pressure him after all this."
Dance Stage
The scene flashed to the challenge with Noah and a now lederhosen wearing Cody standing next to each other "How is the German bikini, treating you?" Noah asked, chuckling at Cody's situation.
"It feels like I have the ultimate wedgie. I hate it!" Cody bemoaned.
Unfortunately for both of them Chef blew a giant tuba in their faces, "That's German for shut up. Now be quiet and follow my instructions, and no one will get hurt, yet. Right knee up, left arm down and swings, stomp hop, snap your thighs, kick your butt jump and clap."
Confessional- Shawn
"That dance was one of the most complicated things I've ever done in my life. Pretty sure it wasn't an original German dance."
Off screen you could hear Chef, "Yes it was!"
Confessional- Sierra
"My grandparents are German. Schnitzel! So I'm like a 10th generation slap dancer. It's what kept me alive on the school playground. It's also why I don't have any friends. But who wants friends when I can have Cody. Especially when those homewreckers Kitty and Mickey are dealt with."
Back To Scene
Sierra was shown really getting into her dance "1,2,3,my husband will be Mr. Cody." As Sierra said this Cody looked mortified while both Mickey and Kitty who was off to the side raised their eyebrows dreading what Sierra had in mind. "4,5,6, kick up sticks my heart won't tick without my Cody fix, 7,8,9 I will straighten my spine while Cody looks so fine. 10, 11, 12 nothing rhymes with twelve, Kitty and Mickey may want Cody but his butt is mine!"
"You know words like shelve and delve rhyme with twelve." Harold said, pointing a finger up.
"Ugh, you are such a loser, just shut it!" Julia said standing next to him, even though no one heard her.
Kitty and Zoey who were standing next to each other also were stunned at what Sierra said, "I'm going to walk away before I yell at Sierra for bringing me up for no reason. Cody and I are just… friends." Kitty said trailing off as she walked away.
Mickey and Cody who were trying to dance while being very off focus, what was not helping was their conversation minutes ago and Sierra now making Cody visibly uncomfortable, and Mickey was not feeling much better. "She knows that you and I are just friends, right?"
Cody however was completely distracted and was out of mind, "Mickey, please be quiet, I am resisting the urge to throw up for a song I didn't ask for or wanted."
"Fair enough." Mickey stated, focusing back on the dancing.
Meanwhile
At the other end of the dance platform was Leshawna, Damien, Heather, and Alejandro dancing as Heather laughed at how Leshawna was dancing, something that Damien noticed "What's wrong?"
"It's just Heather being her normal pain in the ass self she always is." Leshawna told Damien.
Alejandro also saw the scene and saw it as his chance to begin Leshawna's downfall and get rid of her as a competitor. "Ignore Heather, she doesn't seem fabulous dancing right in front of our eyes right now, truly you are fabulous and any man would be lucky to have you. You can't hold back any longer" Alejandro stated.
"You're right, I am not going to hold back any longer, this dance train is leaving the station!" Leshawna cheered out.
"It's a shame Heather I thought you were above petty teasing." Alejandro told Heather, looking at her with a smug smile.
"Ugh, no I am not!" Heather yelled out in pure anger before getting shocked.
Confessional- Heather
"If it were up to me right now, I would hit that man upside his head. Where does he get the nerve to act all high and mighty"
Confessional- Leshawna
"Look, I was already confident in my dancing skills but with Alejandro's encouragement I feel like I have gone from Janet to a future Beyoncé (falls off the confessional and lands on the ground). I really hope Harold doesn't see this."
Back To Scene
As the camera showed Owen, Noah, Alejandro, and Sky dancing, Noah spoke up "What's with you and Leshawna? Giving the enemy a pep talk, not cool."
"I agree, we need to win today's challenge and we don't need Leshawna dominating this challenge." Sky added.
"Very perceptive, my brilliant teammates, I am working an angle that should ensure that Team Style stays safe tonight no matter what. Besides it doesn't concern you two, Noah you've never voted correctly." Alejandro gloated.
"You aren't as safe as you think you are." Noah stated.
"I'm at least making sure our whole team stays safe tonight, and you should be grateful I don't send you home." Alejandro said in a condescending tone. Noah was going to say something and retort but he looked over to Sky who was hinting at him to shut up and Noah once again obliged.
"I don't feel so hot guys." Owen said, weakly dancing
"Perfect time to test this baby out." Chris stated, as he excitedly pushed down on the button.
Owen got shocked which led to a burp soon after he smelt that followed "Mm it smells like cooked sausage, I'm delicious."
Confessional- Noah
"Alejandro is a pain in the ass straight up. I can see why Jo doesn't like him. He acts like he is the leader of the team, and that he is such a martyr. It's nauseating."
Back To Scene
Heather, Damien, and Leshawna were still dancing on the left side of the platform as Heather decided to whisper in Leshawna's ear, "One girl to another you shouldn't trust Alejandro, he is not who he seems and don't fall for someone like that."
"I'm not falling for him. I know not to get involved with another girl's man." Leshawna stated, "Besides you just wish he was paying attention to you and not me."
"What as if, I hate that guy." Heather quickly defended.
Confessional- Leshawna
"Anyone Heather can't stand must be good to align with. I know what others are thinking, (mocking voice) Leshawna didn't you and Heather bury the hatchet last season? (regular voice) We did but then she came after my girl Gwen with that blog war happened so Heather never changed. Shame I'm not on a team with Gwen. But I don't trust a word that comes out of Heather's mouth."
Back To Scene
The scene cut back to Chris hitting a button as everyone on the platforms got shocked, "It's challenge time." Chris announced.
"Here are the matchups, Heather vs Ezekiel, Owen vs Bridgette, Leshawna vs Noah, Sky vs Mickey, Alejandro vs Cody, Damien vs Justin, Sierra vs Shawn, and lastly Jen vs Ella." Blaineley announced. "The last person standing on the platform wins the challenge for their team. This is gonna be fun." Blaineley stated.
Everyone was soon raised up a platform with their respective opponents as everyone began slapping each other off the platform. The first matchup that was decided was Heather and Ezekiel as Heather slapped Ezekiel off the platform as he also got shocked. "Aah! Ow my head eh." Ezekiel said muffled in the snow. Ezekiel's pet goat saw the commotion and growled at Heather.
"Emma, get the goat away from me. I don't want a maimed face." Heather yelled out.
"I got you. I'm great with animals." Emma stated, "Aw who's a cute goat-!" Emma yelled out until the goat began attacking her as Chef had to pry it off of her, and send the animal away before Emmma could get seriously and legally hurt.
The next matchup that was decided was soon after as Owen burped and Bridgette caught a whiff of the smell "Oh that's disgusting. I'm out! I'm out!" Bridgette yelled out jumping off the platform into the snow.
"Should I get off as well?" Owen asked.
"No Owen, don't, stay on the platform and wait for the next round to be done." Brick ordered as Owen looked over to Jo who nodded agreeing with Brick.
The next matchup that was decided was Noah and Leshawna as Leshawna was getting shocked constantly by Chris which made him laugh, as Noah lightly slapped her as Leshawna wasn't happy with that, "Oh hell no!" Leshawna yelled out, before kicking Noah right off the platform into the snow.
"You okay?" Julia asked, looking at her reflection in the mirror. Noah gave a thumbs up soon after.
The next matchup that ended was Sky and Mickey, as Sky was clearly better than the smaller Mickey and had managed to smack Mickey hard enough to make him dizzy, "Where's my bottle?" Mickey asked, clearly confused as he fell off the platform and into the snow.
Sky, who while happy she won, leaned over the platform and asked, "Is he okay?"
"I'm okay. Ooh pretty unicorns!" Mickey yelled out, before laughing as he fell back into the snow face first.
"That's a concussion isn't it?" Kitty asked as Zoey nodded her head as both of them helped him out of the snow.
"Mickey! This is for friendship!" Cody confidently said as he slapped Alejandro, unaware he was still at a huge disadvantage.
"Heh, now it's my turn." Alejandro said in a sinister tone, as he cold smacked Cody off the platform face first into the snow.
"Cody!" Sierra yelled out as she turned around and gave Shawn a horrifying glare as Shawn could only scream as he was kicked right off the platform into the snow.
Ella and Jen had been evenly matched in their matchup, until Ella took one step too far and tripped on her dress which made her also fall in the snow. Jen was kind of annoyed as she looked over, "Are you okay?"
"She's good." Katie reassured Jen. "You did the best you could." Katie said as she and Ella went to sit on the sidelines. The final matchup that was still undecided was Damien and Justin both of whom were evenly matched.
Back with the non-participants, Zoey and Topher were both standing next to each other as they were rooting for Team Amazon, as Zoey noticed something, "Hey Topher, where's Anne Maria?" Zoey asked.
"Oh she went to the restroom, what about Kitty weren't you with her a couple minutes ago?" Topher asked back.
"She's making sure that Cody and Mickey didn't get concussions." Zoey explained. "Were you going to wait for Anne Maria?"
"Nah, she should be fine on her own. Besides, I like hanging out with you as a friend." Topher said.
Zoey admittedly blushed at the comment "Thanks"
Confessional- Zoey
"All I wanted to do in that moment was tell Topher that I do like him more as a friend, just so he has all the information, out in the open-"
Back To Scene
"Hey Topher, I need to say something about you and Anne Maria." Zoey asked.
"Yeah it's great." Topher stated happily, unaware of what Zoey was alluding to.
"Yeah it's great but-" Zoey began to say until Topher interrupted her, unknowingly for him.
"It's just that I never thought this would happen, I never expected it. Despite my looks, I was never the most popular kid back home in….. Dawson City. I dated girls in the past but they were never with me for the right reasons. I don't want to get into too much detail but even though it's been less than a week I am so excited to see where things go with Anne Maria. I feel like I am with someone who likes me for me, and I love it!" Topher explained happily, in what felt like a monologue to Zoey.
"That's great." Zoey stated, trying to sound happy, but she knew deep down she wasn't.
"Oh I am so sorry, what did you want to tell me?" Topher asked, feeling genuinely sad he interrupted Zoey.
Zoey was thinking for a second before she made her decision, "You know what, it's not important."
Off screen you could hear Justin scream out "My precious face!" Justin screamed out as he fell in the snow deciding the final round.
"We should probably just focus on watching the challenge, it's great being with you as a friend, Zoey." Topher said as Zoey looked down in sadness.
Confessional- Zoey
"But I decided against it. For over 2 weeks, Topher has been all that has been on my mind. I will still be friends with him, but I need to move on. I have a good friendship brewing with Mickey, and I can't spend every day thinking about Topher when he has someone else now."
Round 2 of The Challenge
The second round showed Heather against Owen, Leshawna was facing off against Sky, Alejandro and Damien were against each other which left Sierra to go against Jen. "Next round, let's go!" Chris announced.
Leshawna and Sky were evenly matched "You're good." Leshawna said in admiration and determination.
"Thanks you're not half bad yourself." Sky said.
"You've got this Leshawna! You're amazing!" Harold cheered off screen.
"My sugar bear is right!" Leshawna cheered out hitting Sky extra hard and catching the future Olympian off guard as Sky landed on the snow.
"No!" Sky yelled out.
Noah, who was starting to feel better walked up to Sky in concern "Are you okay? You took a hard fall."
"My pride is bruised but it'll heal. I should have beaten her." Sky said looking in the snow.
"What has gotten into her? She isn't acting like her normal self." Noah asked, "What did Alejandro do to Leshawna?" Noah wondered and thought to himself.
Damien, who was distracted, asked "Why would you ever call someone a sugar bear?" Damien asked but him being distracted led to Alejandro smacking him right off the platform.
Sierra, who was smacking Jen and was evenly matched, asked "Guys, how is Cody doing?"
Scott and Courtney who were watching the matchup, looked around as Scott came up with an idea and whispered into Courtney's ear, as Courtney spoke up, "He's still in the snow and in massive pain!" Courtney lied.
"What? Grr!" Sierra said as she straight up kicked Jen off the platform making her land in the snow extra hard as Trent went to make sure she didn't have a concussion.
Confessional- Scott
"As long as Cody is hurt, or Sierra thinks he is hurt. Sierra turns into a challenge beast. The thing is, due to Sierra's whole meat Cody incident I don't know if the votes are there to send Heather out the plane as people are pretty mad at both of them. Besides it's not like this is cheating."
Back To Scene
Owen got electrocuted again as he was facing off against Heather and this was enough to make him throw up sausage he previously digested which one look at it made him queasy. "Ohh. This is, ugh!" Owen said as he passed out into the snow.
Final Round
The next round was Heather against Leshawna with Alejandro facing off against Sierra. "Come on Sierra, don't burn out now!" Courtney yelled out.
"Stay on the platform no matter what, Leshawna!" Millie cheered out.
"I'm not going anywhere!" Leshawna proudly claimed.
"I think Leshawna's receptive to the crowd." Noah said to himself with Julia standing next to him as she raised her eyebrows.
"That's it Leshawna, seize the day!" Alejandro cheered out.
"She's not even on your team." Heather stated.
At that moment though, a voice that sounded just like Heather's spoke up, "That fat pig Leshawna doesn't deserve a boyfriend even someone like Harold!" the voice said, and many would assume it was Heather but her mouth had shut up since she said Leshawna wasn't on Alejandro's team and the camera even showed that.
Heather, unaware and too focused on the competition, smacked Leshawna in the face, which Leshawna didn't take lightly too, "Oh hell no. Not this time bitch, no one talks about me or my man that way! You've had this coming for 3 seasons! Ahh!" Leshawna roared out as she leaped off the platform and tackled Heather off the platform with her and began to slap her all over the face as people like Duncan, Courtney, and Lindsay cheered Leshawna on. Leshawna then slapped Heather's front tooth out.
Before things could get too physical Harold and Ezekiel together managed to pull off Leshawna, as Harold gave Leshawna a tight hug to calm her down "It's okay. It's okay." Harold stated.
Emma and Cody had also managed to pull Heather into safety as Heather was too stunned at what just happened, not to mention the pain she was feeling in her face. Alejandro looked over and whispered over to Sierra, "Slap me off the platform." Sierra didn't need to be told twice and smacked Alejandro off.
"That does it, Team Amazon wins, again!" Blaineley announced.
"We won? I won! I won! I won! I won….." Sierra stated excitedly before passing out as Chris tried to shock her to wake her up but it didn't work.
Noah and Sky walked up to Alejandro, curious what happened, "Dude what happened?" Noah asked.
"Heather sacrificed herself to distract me, and her plan worked, I am so ashamed." Alejandro said feigning ignorance.
"Oh yeah I totally planned that, ow, my cheek!" Heather said in pain.
Noah and Sky both looked at each other unconvinced about what Alejandro said, but decided to play along. "That's horrible Alejandro." Sky said.
Confessional- Gwen
"Heh, I guess Heather helped us win. Can't think of a better way for her to take one for the team. Thanks Leshawna. But now I'm back to square one in getting Heather out of here. I threw that meat grinder out for nothing! Worse yet is that Leshawna is in trouble now. She would be a good ally if the teams merge"
Confessional- Heather and Emma
Emma was sitting on the left side as Heather was crying on the right side, "Do I really look that bad?" Heather asked.
"I've seen worse, but aren't you at least happy that Leshawna got exposed as a liar?" Emma asked as Heather nodded.
Back To Scene
Alejandro had made his way out of the snow and stood up, "I guess Leshawna feels comfortable enough to throw the challenge."
Leshawna had finally calmed down from the adrenaline of hitting Heather and Harold calming her down. "Wait, I won my round with Heather so it should be myself and Sierra in the final round." Leshawna said.
"Not exactly, you had to stay on the platform regardless and since you Leshawna jumped off the platform into the snow while Alejandro and Sierra were still on theirs. Team Victory loses today and will send somebody home." Chris explained.
"Oops, my bad." Leshawna said as she nervously chuckled.
"Oh Leshawna, you shouldn't feign ignorance. On the climb up the mountain here I overheard Harold and Leshawna talking about how Leshawna is willing to lead me on as they want to keep their relationship a secret, Leshawna even went as far to say she would sacrifice her own teammates to keep her relationship with Harold a secret." Alejandro accused.
"Alejandro, you are a liar!" Harold accused. "Leshawna and I would never throw a challenge. That's ridiculous."
"Yeah, sabotage doesn't sound like either of them, eh." Ezekiel defended.
"I want to hear what Leshawna has to say as this mainly involves her, is it true?" Damien asked.
"Yes, it's true that Harold and I are together, and we were trying to keep our relationship a secret. We just didn't want to get targeted for being a power couple. But I would never throw a challenge." Leshawna defended herself.
Julia was the next to speak up, "Then why would you jump off the platform willingly?" Julia asked.
"I got the rules confused." Leshawna said as she tried to minimize the anger directed her way.
"Why did you jump off the platform in the first place?" Damien asked.
"I overheard Heather call me a fat pig who doesn't deserve Harold." Leshawna accused.
"Is that true Heather?" Katie asked.
Heather didn't have to think twice about what to say, what helped was that she was actually being truthful "No, I never said that. I was confused why Alejandro was supporting Leshawna despite being on separate teams, I slapped Leshawna, she tackled me and that was all I remember."
As many people looked at Leshawna with disapproving looks at best Leshawna could only plead "You guys have to believe me!"
Confessional- Leshawna
"What happened? I am so confused. I don't regret smacking Heather regardless. But now everyone is against me and Alejandro turned everyone against me?
Confessional- Alejandro
"I knew that Team Victory would send someone home, but I wanted to make sure it was Leshawna. I was never going to control her like I wanted too, so she had to go. So sad Leshawna, so tragic. But for who called her a fat pig, that I have no idea about."
End Of Challenge
"Team Amazon, fresh baked strudel awaits you in First Class, Team Style you will be back in Economy Class, but no one is going home tonight from your team. Which leaves Team Victory, an even dozen is going to turn into 11. You have 2 hours to decide who is going home." Blaineley announced.
Confessional- Heather
"Look, I am happy that Leshawna is probably out the door. But there is no way that Sierra could have knocked that rock hard walking prime rib of a (pause) jerk face off the platform. But why would Alejandro take a dive for me?"
Common Area
Heather was shown approaching Alejandro near the end of the common area section, "I think you threw the challenge as well and I wanna know why?" Heather demanded.
"I think you took one too many blows to the head from Leshawna's hands." Alejandro laughed back.
"I know you are up to something." Heather threatened.
"Do you know that your missing tooth, it really brings out the anger in your eyes, and it looks amazing." Alejandro flirted back.
"Your attempt at flirting and flattery is pathetic, ugh I am out of here!" Heather yelled in anger. As she was walking by, she had to prevent herself from puking as she smelled what Owen was eating as Noah watched by.
Both Owen and Noah knew they didn't have a ton of time to catch each other up, "Tell me those aren't the same sausages you threw up." Noah asked.
"I would rather not say." Owen said, looking at the sausage. "Okay they are, I am desperate!"
"Owen, you are disgusting! You're my best friend but you are disgusting. How are things going with Jo and Brick?" Noah asked.
"They are going great! Jo is like a much calmer version of Eva and Brick is so awesome!" Owen cheered out. "Hey, did you hear anyone call Leshawna a fat you know? Or do you think she made that up?" Owen asked.
"She had to have made it up, absolutely!" Noah quickly stated.
Confessional- Noah
"Okay the truth is, Julia perfectly mimicked Heather's voice, but during Heather and Leshawna's little fight she made Sky, and I promise not to tell anyone. (sighs) Lying to Owen just does not feel great at all."
Elimination Ceremony
Chef was standing over the podium, "It's time to vote maggots!" Chef yelled out.
Confessional- Lindsay
"I am sorry Lafonda, I mean Leshawna. But thanks for slapping Heather's face."
Confessional- Leshawna
"I doubt this works, but Tyler is my best shot of staying, so (stamps his passport and sighs) I am so eliminated, aren't I?"
Confessional- Ezekiel
(stamps unknown passport) "Sorry."
Back To Scene
"The following players are safe, Brody, Shawn, Ezekiel, Jasmine, Lindsay, Damien, Millie" Chef announced as Millie and Damien gave each other a high five. "Harold, Bridgette, and Geoff, you are also safe." Chef announced as Geoff was trying to show Bridgette his marshmallow, but Bridgette was shown comforting Harold as both knew what was about to happen in regard to Leshawna, and that she was spending her last moments in the game.
"Tyler and Leshawna step forward." Chef demanded.
Damien, forgetting that Tyler wasn't safe until now, whispered over to Millie "Should I have tried to save him?" Damien asked.
"He'll be fine." Millie reassured Damien.
"Let's start with Leshawna, you beat Heather up, cost your team the challenge by either throwing the challenge or not understanding the rules. Anything you wanna say for yourself?" Chef asked.
"I-" Leshawna began to say but instead decided to stay quiet.
"As for you Tyler, you caused an avalanche, people may be annoyed with you and Lindsay constantly making out, not to mention you are not popular with the fans." Chef explained.
"I still don't get that." Tyler said as he was reminded of his horrible popularity.
"Enough! The final marshmallow goes too
….
….
…. Tyler." Chef announced.
Damien breathed a sigh of relief while Harold was trying to prevent himself from crying "No." Harold could only say to himself.
"Leshawna, you have officially been eliminated from Total Drama World Race, any final words?" Chef asked.
"Good luck Harold, the rest of you don't trust what Alejandro said." Leshawna stated as she jumped out of the plane solemnly, still in shock she was eliminated and wondering where it all went wrong for her.
"Team Victory you guys need to get your act together. Two times in a row you have been down here. Good night!" Chef said as the camera cut.
Confessional- Ezekiel
"I ended up voting for Tyler eh. I did not want to, but I really want to show Harold, I am serious about us having a friendship eh. Hopefully Harold appreciates as we have now lost our closest allies, in a way we are all we have left. But not in the romantic sense. Gosh no, eh."
Confessional- Millie
"I told Damien to relax, Tyler was going to be fine, and it turns out he was. It was hard to vote for Leshawna, but it was the consensus."
Confessional- Tyler
"Being in the bottom 2 is nerve wracking dudes. Not to mention getting reminded today that you are the least talked about contestant is a major bummer. It's why besides getting back together with Lindsay, everything I have done this season is to gain more popularity."
Confessional- Harold
"I feel like I am at rock bottom right now. Losing Leshawna last season was hard, and it was by my own hands, yet this elimination stings more because we are finally together, and we didn't even get to spend that much time together. It was also my dumb idea to keep the relationship a secret that played a part. I don't know where my game will go after this, but I will get my revenge on Alejandro in some way."
Episode Closing
Chris and Blaineley were in the pilot compartment "Can Team Victory really call themselves that after the last two challenges." Chris asked.
"We will win the next challenge!" Harold called out from the confessional booth as he could overhear Chris, similar to Justin in Season 2 after the beach episode, as he turned that feed off.
"With love spreading, breaking apart and shifting loyalties, who will be the next person to take a dive?" Blaineley asked. "Find out next time on Total Drama World Race!"
"Okay who let the microphone from the cockpit be heard in the confessional, who made that mistake!?" Chris asked in anger as the episode faded to black.

Notes:
So, we visit the German Alps this chapter. First the challenge changes, I knew I had to have multiple sausages for the team since the teams are a lot bigger. Also, that meant more matchups in the slap part of the challenge. The matchups were fun to pair up, and still wind up with the same final 4.
Now for the storylines, for Team Style I wanted this chapter to show the dynamics of Owen and Noah interacting with Jo and Brick or Julia and Sky in Noah's case. For Team Amazon this was mainly the fallout of the meat grinder, the Cody, Mickey, and Kitty friendship plotline, and the Zoey, Topher, Anne Maria love triangle.
Now time for the eliminated contestant, Leshawna. I love Leshawna as a character; however it was always planned from the jump for her to leave in the Germany chapter. But due to the episode format I gave, this also allowed me to have an additional 5 episodes with her, and since Harold was going to outlast Leshawna, I figured I would get them together officially as a couple. This also meant re-writing Leshawna's elimination somewhat as I wanted Alejandro to play a role but for Leshawna to not fall for him romantically. Hence why I kind of had her listen to his words of advice to be a leader, but also have her not understand the rules of the final challenge and to have Alejandro turn against her immediately afterwards. (This will play a role in why I have Alejandro the way he is). Lastly, I needed Leshawna gone for the Harold and Ezekiel plot.
Next chapter is the Amazon jungle in which there will be Zing Zings, Mayan Ruins, and a twist that will send someone home in a unique way. Stay tuned.
I would love reviews and feedback, general thoughts on the story, predictions, what you like, and what you dislike. All feedback is welcomed. Until then, see you next time! Bye!
Chapter 13: The Am-AH-Zon Race

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- The Am-Ah-Zon Race
Recap
The episode begins with Chris narrating the events of the previous episode, as he seemed excited, "Last time on Total Drama World Race, Germany! Here our competitors encountered the glorious Alps. As fun to go up as they are to go down. They also learned why Germany is world renowned for the care they put in their sausages."
Blaineley spoke up next, "A declaration of love from Lindsay caused Tyler to start an avalanche that I imagine left a lot of people feeling cold towards him."
Chris ignored Blaineley's pun, "On Team Style, Noah and Owen began their plan of finding better allies, with Owen befriending Brick and a slightly reluctant Jo, while Noah was having mixed results with Julia and Sky. What didn't help was Owen eating the sausage for his team, even if Jo defended him." Chris narrated.
"On Team Amazon, Scott and Gwen's ploy to throw out the meat grinder and pin it on Heather at first was a success especially when Courtney let Heather have it. But when Sierra made a meat version of Cody and cost a fair amount of meat. Scott called an inaudible and helped his team win by challenging Sierra's challenge beast side, feeling like he wouldn't have the votes to send Heather home." Blaineley explained.
"Speaking of Cody, he let Mickey know about his crush on Kitty after a very emotional moment. Ew. Team Amazon ended up winning the challenge when Alejandro threw the challenge to Sierra in the final round."
"But Alejandro wasn't done, and neither was Julia. As the losing team had one person to blame, Leshawna. Her game was sent on a huge downward spiral all day, between her pushy behavior as boss, jumping off the platform to beat up Heather and accusations of her throwing said challenge. It was left as no surprise that Leshawna was voted out that night, in shame." Blaineley explained next.
"There's 37 players left in the game, but not for long, we have a twist that no one will see coming and another teenage freak show gets shoved out the plane right here on…."
"Total Drama World Race!" Chris and Blaineley announced together at the end.

(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
The episode starts in the late afternoon or early evening as Owen was mumbling "Going down….. engine failure!" Owen said half asleep and a mouth full of drool.
"Will you just shut the hell up?" Alejandro said as he elbowed Owen.
"Woah, we're in a crash position!" Owen was suddenly awake, but he wasn't fully with his senses and began flailing his arms and while Brick was able to duck before getting punched, however Alejandro wasn't so lucky and got punched squarely in the face by Owen. "Oh my gosh Brick I had a terrible dream."
"It's okay sir, it's not real, but you may want to look behind you." Brick said as he pointed behind Owen towards Alejandro who was in pain.
"Oh my gosh, Al. What happened? Did I punch you? I am so sorry" Owen asked.
"Nothing, a little ice and revenge won't fix." Alejandro said hoping Owen would suffer for what he just did.
Jo who was sitting next to Brick and then Owen overheard exactly what Alejandro said, "You're not causing any revenge today, Alejandro." Jo said.
Alejandro however tried to feign ignorance, "Nonsense I didn't say revenge. Unrelated, but Owen do you have any serious allergies?"
"Um, let's see." Owen began to say until Jo interrupted him.
"Owen, don't answer that question."
Confessional- Owen
"You know, while my friends like Jo and Noah don't trust Alejandro, it doesn't mean I can't be nice to him. I don't trust him either. But punching him in the face certainly didn't help what he thinks of me. Unless Alejandro has a kink for that stuff. Fingers crossed."
Confessional- Brick
"You know despite our team bickering; I actually feel like finally our team is going in a great direction. Helps that being honest is the way to go."
Back To Scene
Back in Economy Class, Duncan and Bowie are sitting next to each other as Alejandro walks off screen to get an eye patch. Which Bowie chuckled at, "I find it so amusing that Owen is still trying to be Alejandro's friend, he's like a golden retriever."
"Hah agreed. It takes a while before Owen learns to not trust someone; he'll eventually learn." Duncan joked about Owen's situation.
Bowie however decided to change the subject, "If you don't mind me asking, have you thought of how to break up with Courtney, or do you want my advice?"
"Not yet, I need to make sure she and I have some alone time, before I break up with her." Duncan reasoned.
"Okay one other question, as this has been bugging me the last few days. Did you tell Julia about the Eva vote and me being responsible for her leaving. She somehow knows that I caused it. Did you tell her?" Bowie asked.
"Of course not. Only an idiot would tell Julia about that." Duncan said.
The scene cuts to Noah who was sleeping in a seat until the turbulence causes a rat to fall into his mouth, which he spits out in anger, "Agh, bleh. Stupid economy Class. This place is horrible."
Julia, who was filing her nails and not even looking at Noah, spoke up "Agreed. Just need to win the challenge." Julia stated unamused, before then looking at Noah, "I do want to know if you are actually going to vote with me?" Julia asked.
"It's not like I have many other allies." Noah remarked.
Confessional- Noah
"Look, while I still haven't fully trusted Julia yet, she and Sky are the ones most willing to work with me who aren't Owen."
Back To Scene
Noah was now by himself and was talking to himself, "I really hope I make the right decision working with Julia."
At that moment, Noah's other new ally Sky walked up to him, and was interested in getting to know him. "Hey, Noah. What's wrong? You look stressed."
Noah should have not been so trusting of Sky but something about her felt reassuring, "It's just Julia being vague. She wants me to vote with her but won't tell me who. It's annoying."
Sky chuckled at that, "Heh, that's Julia for us. I don't trust her like I used to. But I know she has my back and trust me; I think she wants to work with you as well."
Noah then looked over to the other end of Economy and looked over to Team Victory, "I wonder if Team Victory is just as frustrated being stuck here."
With Team Victory
Over at Team Victory, Tyler and Lindsay were shown cuddling right next to each other, "You know being back here has some perks." Tyler said as he and Lindsay began kissing again.
Bridgette however was annoyed at Tyler's lack of sympathy and spoke up, "Tyler, maybe be a little more sensitive."
Tyler overheard Bridgette and stopped kissing Lindsay, "What am I doing wrong?" Tyler asked, confused.
"Think about how Harold is feeling." Damien explained.
The camera shifted to the other end of Team Victory and showed Harold crying into his hands as Ezekiel was comforting him, "I can, I can still hear Leshawna dancing in the plane. Shake it, Harold baby." Harold said until he went into another crying fit. "She's the best thing I've ever had."
Ezekiel, who was finding the whole thing awkward, but wanted to be Harold's friend, was trying to still reassure him, "She's a great person. Trust me I'll miss her too."
The camera went back to Millie, Damien, Bridgette, and the no longer making out Tyler and Lindsay, as all of them were watching Harold's distraught state, "Yeah Harold just completely misses Leshawna, and it doesn't help that we've lost the last couple of challenges. That doesn't help anyone's mood on this team." Millie explained.
"Come on Millie! With Tyler and Damien around, anything is possible, and maybe today we'll be the best team ever." Lindsay told Millie which made Millie have a slight smile.
Chris announced as he walked by "I am going to see the best team ever!"
"He means us!" Lindsay cheered out.
"What? Of course not. Obviously, it's Team Amazon." Chris laughed as he walked by.
"Next time we are on the plane guys, let's aim for First Class. Let's win this challenge." Bridgette said as her teammates were inspired by her words.
First Class
Over in First Class, the scene showed Cody waking up as he looked around, and only saw Mickey and Kitty by him, "Oh thank goodness, Sierra is nowhere near me right now."
"Yeah, she's with Gwen, on what looks like a pizza laptop." Mickey explained as Kitty raised her eyebrows. "What?"
"You can't just say the phrase pizza laptop and not explain what that means." Kitty said.
"Just look over at Sierra with me, Gwen should be awake and react. It already makes Zoey and Topher uncomfortable, " Mickey explained.
As Mickey and Kitty stood up and looked over, Gwen was shown waking up and looking at Sierra who was on an old pizza box as Zoey and Topher sat with them as well. Gwen asked, "What are you doing?"
"You shouldn't have asked that." Zoey told Gwen.
"Why?"
"I'm checking my email. You can check yours when I'm done on the Internet." Sierra explained.
Gwen who was still not fully awake seemed interested "Great because I have to email my..." then Gwen had the realization that Sierra had a rat as a mouse, and it wasn't even a laptop and was instead a used pizza box. "Never mind, I'm good." Gwen stated as Sierra ate a slice of pizza.
"It's not shocking, given how crazy Sierra is." Zoey stated.
"I take offense to that, I'm not crazy, I'm just different. In a good way unlike someone like Mickey." Sierra stated as Zoey glared at her for insulting her friend.
Topher sensing the tension decided to change the subject matter, "Sierra where did you even get a pizza box? It's not like we've visited Italy. Or Chicago?" Topher asked.
"Oh, I've had this since Day 1." Sierra explained which made each of Gwen, Zoey, and Topher gag.
Zoey was able to get herself together and said, "The only thing all of us can agree on is that the winning streak is nice."
In another part of First Class, Heather was applying makeup trying to make her black eye not as ugly due to what Leshawna did the previous challenge, "At least Leshawna leaving is small karma for causing this." Heather said to Emma who was sitting next to her as Heather closed her makeup mirror.
"Looking good." Courtney sarcastically said.
"Piss off." Heather said sternly.
The overhead speaker turned on with Blaineley's voice, "Brace for landing. We have arrived in the Amazon however the runway is a little short so buckle up."
For the people in First Class that were in seats with seat belts they didn't need to be told twice as Heather, Courtney, Scott, Emma, Cody, Kitty, Mickey, Zoey and Gwen immediately put them on. Gwen however was feeling optimistic. "Amazon in the Amazon itself? That's got to be a lucky sign."
Zoey shared Gwen's optimism "It feels like the universe must want all of us to win." Zoey reasoned.
However, Sierra was not sharing that same optimism "Whenever a team predicts good luck they always lose."
Katie and Ella who were on the First-Class couches didn't seem convinced by Sierra's statement "Isn't this one of Sierra's crazy conspiracy theories? Like how according to her, lottery winners are time travelers." Katie asked.
"This isn't one of those things. I've seen enough television, especially reality shows. What Sierra is saying has merit." Topher explained as he had his hand over Zoey's mouth.
Gwen was quick to defend herself. "I didn't mean any harm. I just meant…" Gwen began saying until Sierra put her hand over Gwen's mouth.
Chris was now on the overhead speaker "Gosh, I hope none of Team Amazon said it would be lucky for them. That'd be disastrous."
Gwen groaned in embarrassment as Anne Maria walked back into First Class and saw the scene of Topher, Zoey, Sierra, and Gwen. "What I'd miss?" Anne Maria asked.
Confessional- Anne Maria
"I should find Topher covering Zoey's mouth suspicious since I know she likes my boyfriend. But then I remember oh right Anne Maria, Topher is your boyfriend not hers. As such I have nothing to worry about. Heh."
Confessional- Topher
"While Sierra is batshit insane with her theories. But for once she is right. I just didn't want Zoey to get in trouble for agreeing with Gwen. Not that Gwen is a bad person, I just don't want Zoey in danger if they do lose and considering what Gwen said it's not a matter of if but when."
Pre-Challenge
After the plane had a rough landing, Chris, Chef, and Blaineley were with the contestants, "Welcome to Peru, the birthplace of the Amazon River." Blaineley introduced.
"Today's challenge is called the Am-AH-Zon Race. Here's how it works, teams must hike along an ancient Inka trail through the Peruvian Jungle, all the way to Machu Picchu and then find a golden treasure hidden within Machu Picchu." Chris explained. Blaineley nudged Chris however to remind him of something, "What?" as Blaineley whispered in Chris's ear as his eyes widened. "That's right, I forgot about the big twist. First place does win immunity and first-class privileges, and also gets the golden treasure as well. However, the last two teams will go to elimination and one person will be sent home in general." Chris further explained as every contestant gasped.
"Are you going to explain the twist further?" Julia asked.
"What do you think?" Chris asked rhetorically.
Confessional- Heather
"I'm confused, so two teams go to elimination, maybe everyone votes as a group? I don't care that much as long as I'm safe along with Emma."
Confessional- Scott
"This is perfect. My team loses and whichever one of Team Victory or Style loses will probably join Courtney, Gwen and I to vote out Heather. I may not even need to sabotage the challenge."
Back To Scene
Chris continued on "Be warned, the jungle is full of many vicious insects." Chris told the contestants. Cody in fear raised his hand.
"The legal department made the production team well aware of your deadly allergies. They insisted we bring you an EpiPen." Blaineley told.
"Why are there multiple EpiPens, dudes?" Brody asked.
"Multiple people need EpiPens, those people being Cody, Mickey, Harold and Noah." Chris said as Cody tried to grab an EpiPen as Chris pulled it away. "Wouldn't make sense to give it to the person who has the allergies. What if any of you guys were unconscious?"
"Okay who's taking these?" Blaineley asked as many people looked uncertain about having such a huge responsibility.
"Oh me, me! I can take Cody's!" Sierra said, raising her hand as everyone ignored her.
Zoey was the next one to speak up, "(Sighs) I don't mind taking one for Mickey." Zoey said as she walked up.
"I'll do it for Harold, eh. I had to do this for my mother once as she relies on an EpiPen." Ezekiel said, as he took the second EpiPen.
"Do you mind if I take yours?" Sky asked Noah, who shrugged his shoulders indifferently. "I'll take silence as a yes, let's do this." Sky said hesitantly.
Cody was shown going up to Kitty with sad puppy dog eyes, "Please!? I don't want her to do it." Cody said.
Kitty groaned in embarrassment, "It's fine, don't worry so much. I'll take it." Kitty announced.
"What? No! I'm the only one who knows what sends Cody into anaphylactic shock, black ants, brown ants, red ants, forego beads, wolf spiders, crickets, the clear wings Perretta butterfly, and goat saliva!" Sierra said as she listed off Cody's allergies as everyone looked stunned at what she said.
"How... How do you know all about that with Cody? That feels like something only Cody himself, his family and medical professionals would know." Mickey asked, scared.
"I posed as a government agent over the phone and called Cody's doctor a few months ago to get that information." Sierra explained.
Scott, who was standing next to Courtney, decided to ask, "Quick question, is she violating any laws?"
"Since Sierra confessed to this on International television, she is probably liable." Courtney explained.
Kitty had now gotten Cody's EpiPen as Sierra glared at her, which Kitty quickly noticed "You're not getting this EpiPen unless I'm knocked out cold."
"That can be arranged." Sierra threatened as Cody tried to stand in between both of them.
Blaineley decided to ignore the growing anger within Team Amazon, "Also in the jungle are the Zing Zings. They are a native tribe who have never encountered modern man, and they have no intention to. So, if you see them don't make contact."
Damien cringed, "They seem scary."
"They… WILL YOU STOP THAT!" Chris yelled at Chef who was banging a drum until Chris yelling at him got him to stop.
"How far is it from Monkey pitching?" Owen asked.
"Machu Picchu is a hop and a skip that way, and an 18-hour hike." Chris explained as everyone groaned.
"Now Harold, you like to claim yourself as smart, so what time is it?" Blaineley asked,
Harold dejected, looked up sadly at the sky, "About 5pm."
"Exactly, and since the jungle is way too dangerous to travel at night, so each team will have to make camp. Oh and no camping material." Blaineley explained as everyone looked fearfully towards each other.
"Woo-hoo! We get to camp outdoors and be in the wilderness, this is awesome! This challenge was made for me!" Shawn cheered.
"One final thing, each team gets a walkie talkie since the playing field is so vast, one per team but it is only to be used for emergencies, we wish you all good luck, or at the very least a lack of death." Chris explained as the camera flashed away.
Crossroad Path
Team Victory was the first team to make it to a crossroads in the jungle "Eenie meenie, left?" Lindsay asked.
"Yep, let's go left!" Tyler excitedly said until Bridgette pulled him back, "Now what?"
"Let's see what the team says." Bridgette told Tyler, who shrank back in embarrassment.
"I don't mind. Best we stick together though." Damien said.
"Yeah, dudes let's go left, let's do what you want Bridgette." Geoff said in a not-so-subtle way to flirt with her.
Confessional- Bridgette
"It's odd that Geoff is still trying to impress me. If he just stays being a good teammate, I will be impressed but he is not subtle. Regardless, I decided to take leadership for this challenge."
Confessional- Geoff
"I'm confident, Bridgette will be impressed with me! If I agree with everything she does, she'll fall back in love with me, and then she and I can party! It is so simple."
Back To Crossroads
Team Style was the next one at the crossroads "I mean it only makes sense to follow Team Victory and go left. That way if we are both right, we can probably outrun them regardless." Jo reasoned.
"You won't hear any disagreements from me." Justin said as Team Style began walking again.
While some like Alejandro, Sky, Brick, and Jo didn't mind the wilderness, Jen was not one of those people, "Ew, these bugs are disgusting. I should have brought my disinfectant spray if I knew I would have to camp when I signed up for this show." Jen shrieked.
Trent was walking with her from behind and was about to comfort her, until Bowie tapped his shoulder, "What the? Oh Bowie, what's going on?" Trent asked.
"Hey, I just have a quick question, did you or Jen tell Julia about me wanting Eva eliminated back in Iceland." Bowie asked.
"Jen and I only talk to you and Justin on this team. I know the last challenge Jen talked with Noah, but it wasn't anything massive and we wouldn't throw you under the bus. Why is this bugging you so much dude?" Trent asked as he and Bowie had now stopped in place.
"It's just I don't want a target on my back, and being labeled a mastermind isn't a good thing." Bowie explained.
"If you don't mind, who else have you asked?" Trent asked.
However, before Bowie could reveal his source, Jo yelled off screen "Yo gossip guys, catch up with the rest of us."
Confessional- Bowie
"I am stumped on who could have sold me out, it wasn't Justin, it wasn't Duncan, and it also isn't Jen or Trent. I'm stumped."
Back To Crossroads
Team Amazon was the last ones at the crossroads as they were slowed down by the constant bickering between multiple members, whether it be Courtney and Heather, or Kitty and Sierra. Luckily things had calmed down enough as they reached the intersection,
"Maybe we should go right." Gwen stated, slightly nervous.
"I agree, it's what my gut is telling me. I think the other teams made a mistake." Katie said as Ella nodded her head agreeing with her.
"No left, that way even if we are wrong, everyone is wrong, and we are on an even playing field." Sierra protested.
"I agree…" Cody said until he saw Sierra looking at him in admiration, "Safety in numbers, just thinking about the team's safety and you ladies." Cody said nervously, almost trying to convince himself.
Confessional- Sierra
"I heard wedding bells when Cody agreed with me. Yay!"
Confessional- Cody
"I didn't even realize I agreed with Sierra until she looked at me that way. She is just so exhausting."
Back To Scene
Heather spoke out next, "Look let's let Gwen decide, she is the one who is feeling lucky."
"What about me, I mentioned good luck too?" Zoey asked, raising her hand in confusion.
"You agreed with her, you weren't the main one to do it." Heather explained which seemed to satisfy Zoey's confusion.
"Look I said I was sorry; I was just trying to put some good vibes and luck for our team." Gwen explained.
"Aw don't worry Gwen, if we win, you're a hero, if we lose you deserve to go home." Heather threatened, as Gwen glared at Heather now.
"Your parents must love this show because it gets you out of the house, so they don't have to see their walking disappointment, who was bald on international television." Gwen ranted.
"Oh, fuck off for that comment, I have a good enough relationship with my parents, Gothy. Low blow!" Heather yelled back as many team members began taking the right path, Heather was about to go until Emma walked up to her, "What?!"
"Why are you being extra volatile towards Gwen today?" Emma asked.
"I am just pissed about that meat grinder stuff last challenge, especially since she was the one to blame me for it. Hell, I wouldn't be shocked if she was the one who threw it out." Heather explained.
"Fair enough. That would be messed up to sabotage a whole team just to get one person out." Emma said until Heather raised her eyebrows, "Not that it was wrong when you did it during the First Season." Emma quickly defended herself as both caught up with their team.
T Bar Line Team Victory
The scene showed Chris and Blaineley with all of Team Victory "Welcome upward trajectory Team Victory. First is first so you guys get to go across this water hazard using the T Bar. Obviously not everyone here will be able to use the T Bar so it's up to you guys to figure it out." Blaineley explained.
"Harold, what say you, eh?" Ezekiel asked as Harold remained silent, "Harold?"
"Never mind him. We should probably have our physically weakest go down the line. Millie, do you mind being one of those people?" Bridgette asked.
"Not at all. But who else? We should get as many people on this thing as we can." Millie explained.
"I'll join." Bridgette said. "Any other takers?" Lindsay and Damien both raised their hands as Damien didn't want to get hurt and Lindsay didn't want her manicure to get ruined.
"Out of everyone left, I think we have room for one more, so how about Ezekiel?" Millie asked.
Ezekiel looked over to Harold, the person he assumed would have gotten it, but decided it was best to leave him alone, "Okay eh. Let's just get this over with."
As such Millie took the handlebar with Damien and Bridgette holding onto the end of it with one hand each, while Lindsay and Ezekiel held on tightly towards her legs, "First place!" Lindsay yelled out in excitement.
As each of them landed, Bridgette stood up and heard a faint cheering noise, as she looked up and saw Brody, Geoff and Harold each using their belts on the line, "Everyone keep your heads down." Bridgette said as she tackled Ezekiel to the ground as Geoff and Brody flew right past her head.
Brody landed and put his belt on as he looked around, "Wait, where's Harold? He was right behind us." he asked.
Harold was shown looking face down into the sand, "Of course." Harold said with a face full of sand.
Back at the top Shawn was putting his backpack he carried with him on the line, as he then offered his hand to Jasmine "Jasmine, want to go down the line?" Shawn said as Jasmine took position. Shawn then looked over to Tyler. "What about you, Tyler?"
"Nah dude. I've got my own idea." Tyler boasted as he took off his pants as Jasmine was going to say something, but Shawn nudged her to indicate they should just let this happen and as such took off, and while they had no issues on the line, Damien who was looking to see where Tyler was coming accidentally got hit in the head by Jasmine.
Chris and Blaineley looked over to what Tyler was going to do, and both were trying not to laugh "This should be interesting." Chris observed.
Rock music played as Tyler had his sweatpants over the line, "My turn! Extreme!" Tyler shouted out as he rode down the line, and things were fine until he saw above him that his pants caught fire and disintegrated "Oh no!" Tyler yelled out as he fell into the water. "Piranhas!"
"Heh, I forgot to tell them about the piranhas." Chris joked.
"You didn't even let our boss know. What's wrong with you?" Blaineley asked.
"I don't regret it; you like the catty smack talk and drama. I like making these challenges dangerous." Chris said, as Blaineley glared at him.
Back by the beach edge, Tyler had finally made his way out of the water and removed a piranha that was biting his tongue, only to stand up and see a piranha biting his underwear. "Oh, come on!" Tyler yelled out as he took the second piranha off and began walking towards his teammates, specifically Damien and Millie who covered their eyes.
"That's disgusting!" Damien shrieked.
"What, what's wrong?" Tyler asked.
"Tyler, mate look down." Jasmine explained. Tyler did so and realized the piranha had bitten his underwear and he threw the piranha so hard it ripped his underwear clean off. The show luckily had enough sense to pixelate Tyler's crotch, but it didn't make it any less traumatizing for everyone on the team who wasn't Tyler himself.
"Does anyone have any spare pants or underwear?" Tyler asked as everyone shook their heads no, "Guess I'm going commando today." Tyler reasoned.
Damien whispered to Millie "Going commando means he has pants, but he doesn't have those either. This shouldn't make the air. None of this is okay." Damien reasoned.
"Don't worry guys, I have an idea." Tyler said as the camera flashed away.
Amazon Path
Team Amazon was walking along another trail, none of them any wiser that they were actually going the wrong way as the camera zoomed in on Kitty and Cody "Have you ever used an EpiPen before?" Cody asked.
"No, I haven't. If you don't mind asking me, how does it work?" Kitty asked.
"Pretty much if I get bit by something I'm allergic to you have to stab me in the ass." Cody explained as Kitty's eyes widened.
"Oh, um if you don't mind can you hold onto this for a while? I just need to psyche myself up in order to do this." Kitty asked and immediately put the EpiPen in Cody's hand.
"I understand." Cody said until even more bugs surrounded him, "Ugh buzz off."
"Aaaaahhhhhh!" Mickey yelled off screen until it showed him getting carried away by a giant bug.
"I'm coming, Mickey. Wah!" Cody yelled out grabbing onto Mickey's leg but since Cody wasn't that strong, the bug was now carrying both of them. "Help us!"
As luck would have it, before the bug could get too far away it got hit by a rock that knocked it back and dropped both Cody and Mickey to the ground. With Cody falling into Sierra's arms unwillingly, while Mickey landed on her shoulder. "Ow my back!" Mickey said.
Sierra however wasn't excited to carry Mickey and threw him to the ground, "I wasn't saving you, you chicken." Sierra said as she looked back at Cody "I'm the only one who will always be there for you Cody! Always!" Sierra said as she threw Cody over her shoulder and walked off with him.
"I'm doomed." Cody lamented, before noticing that Mickey was still on the ground in pain as he mouthed for someone to get him back standing.
Kitty and Zoey, who were the nearest, helped Mickey back up off his feet. "Are you okay?" Zoey asked.
"I'm fine, minus some possible head trauma. Was I the only one weirded out by her calling me a chicken?" Mickey asked.
"She probably just meant it for you being a coward, which you aren't by the way." Kitty reassured Mickey.
Mickey however had a skeptical look on his face before his face fell, "Regardless she has to be the next one to go. I can't take her being so obsessed over Cody and treating both Kitty and I like crap since we both…. look at Cody as a friend." Mickey said.
"Agreed." Zoey and Kitty said at the same time as the camera panned to Scott who was smiling.
Confessional- Scott
"Hahaha! What happened with Cody and Mickey and that giant bug is hilarious. You can't buy that entertainment back home. Mainly back at the farm you get two animals fighting which can be fun, bloody or in one case horny. I am not elaborating any further."
T Bar Line Team Style
Chris and Blaineley were now with Team Style by the line as Justin noticed something was awry "Where's the hanging on thingy part?" Justin asked.
"Seriously? Hanging on thingy" Chris asked in amusement.
"You know the riding stick; look I didn't go to school for smarts like Noah did." Justin stated.
"Thanks." Noah chuckled at Justin's compliment towards him.
"Is it a zipper buckle handle?" Justin asked as he turned to Bowie, as Bowie shook his head no. "Damn it!"
"We need no T Bar; we are Team Style, and we are awesome, and we are never going out of style." Alejandro declared.
"Never going out of style." Jen hummed in a sing-songy tone to herself at Alejandro's phrase. "That phrase would make a good song."
"Really, Spanish boy. Bet I can make it down the line better than you can." Jo threatened.
"I'd like to see you try." Alejandro threatened. "Ariba!" Alejandro yelled out as soon enough each of Alejandro, Jo, and Brick were going down the line. For Alejandro and Jo, both enjoyed the thrill, as for Brick he was terrified and screamed the whole way down.
"Whatever you say Al! I got this. Ariba! Aaaahhhhh!" Owen screamed out as he went by hand, but his hands were nearly on fire and his large weight sent him into the water and when he came back up, he was covered in piranhas.
"Yeah, there may be piranhas in the pool, something someone didn't tell the higher ups about. We already have a case of missing underwear and Tyler exposed himself to our viewing audience." Blaineley ranted.
"We have censors, stop getting your panties in a bunch, Blaineley." Chris joked as Blaineley glared at him.
Duncan was the next one up to the line "No damn piranhas are going to scare me" as the camera flashed away.
Entrance to Zing Zings Camp
Team Amazon was walking in the wrong direction still, however at this point many of them were visibly uncomfortable, with Cody and Mickey walking out in front as both noticed the Zing Zings "Oh no. I'm scared." Mickey said as he grabbed onto Cody.
"Buddy shh. We're fine, we just can't, make eye contact and stay still." Cody began to say until he saw his teammates all look at him in fear. "What's wrong?"
"Look behind you." Emma said slowly.
Cody and Mickey did as such and saw a Zing Zing right in front of them holding a spear "Aahh!" Both Cody and Mickey screamed out and stumbled back to their team as both of them held onto each other in pure fear, as the Zing Zings showed Team Amazon the spears in general.
"I'm too young to die!" Katie said in fear as she was holding onto Ella.
"Yay, lucky us!", Heather sarcastically said as she glared at Gwen.
"If we survive today, Gwen, you are getting a beatdown from me toots." Anne Maria threatened, even if she was struggling to muster up the courage.
"Chris, Chris we're in trouble!" Gwen said as she talked into the walkie talkie as the bottom was expo. "No batteries!"
"How can a show not even afford any batteries for a walkie talkie?" Topher asked.
The scene quickly flashed to Chef in the premium part of the plane, specifically in the hot tub playing a handheld video game, "Eat it ghost! Eat it! Stupid Chris!" Chef yelled out.
T Bar Line Team Style
Back at the T Bar, guitar music was playing "This should be interesting." Chris stated as it showed Trent tying a t-shirt to the line.
"Or deadly." Blaineley said sarcastically off camera.
Trent was shown still having a shirt on, as Jen grabbed onto his shoulders tightly. "1,2,3!" Trent yelled out as he and Jen began their descent down. Jen screamed the whole way down as she and Trent landed on the ground soon after, as Trent could tell Jen was still freaked out "Just calm down Jen. It's over. We're safe." Trent reassured Jen, who blushed in pure embarrassment.
Bowie, who was back up at the top of the challenge, made a funny observation, "They have good aim, to say the least even if they are in denial."
"For two people who are in denial in love, I agree." Chris stated.
"Okay, who's next." Blaineley asked impatiently.
"I have a plan guys." Sky said as she emptied out her backpack she was carrying in preparation for this challenge, as she was handing Noah, Justin, Julia, and Bowie stuff to hold, whether it be stopwatches, granola bars, or energy drinks. "Put this stuff I'm your pockets guys."
"What are you doing?" Noah asked.
"Emptying my backpack to ride the zipline. Are you riding or not?" Sky asks.
"You don't have to tell me twice." Noah stated, grabbing onto one of the handles.
"I'm coming too. That's what friends are for, right?" Julia stated smugly as Sky and Noah looked away uncomfortably, both hoping Julia would have just let those two do it with each other.
Before Julia could get in position, Bowie spoke up next "Justin and I don't have anything planned so can we tag along on the bottom."
Julia glared at a smirking Bowie, as Sky decided since it wasn't just her and Noah, there was no harm in having Bowie and Justin with them, "Sure thing, tag along." Sky said as she put the backpack in position "Everyone in position?" Sky asked as everyone nodded. "1,2,3! Go!". The whole group went down the line but due to the speed they accidentally hit Alejandro and Owen in the head before they could properly dismount.
Zing Zings Camp
Back with Team Amazon, they were all tied up by a tree, with the front of the tree showing Sierra, Heather, Topher, Cody, Kitty, Mickey and Zoey all in that order, while the others were on the other side of the tree. To say the scene was tense was an understatement.
"The batteries in my flashlight should fit into the walkie talkie but I can't reach my back pockets." Cody stated, looking at his pants.
"I can do it, I can help." Sierra said as she bumped Heather.
The camera then panned over to the other end of the tree showing Katie, Anne Maria, and Ella on the other end. "Who's the closest to Cody?" Katie asked.
"I'm at his right side, and Kitty's at his left side" Topher yelled out.
"Cody! What pocket was the flashlight in?" Emma asked.
"I'm sure it was my back right pocket." Cody spoke up, "Which means…. Topher has to look." Cody realized and seemed like his face completely fell.
"Topher sweet cheeks, you boys aren't allowed to enjoy this." Anne Maria threatened.
"Trust me, Anne Maria, I wish it was the back left pocket." Cody said as Kitty thumped his head. "Ow!"
"Gross. You can be a total pervert." Kitty said in response to Cody's comment.
"Sorry, sometimes I don't think before I speak." Cody said in a meek tone, trying to make the situation better.
"Let's just get this over with." Topher began as he started getting stuff out of Cody's pocket, "Killer Casanova kissing mints? Ooh I might save that for later. Hair gel, saw body spray. Dude you are trying way too hard to impress people." Topher told Cody. "X Ray glasses. Huh, never tried these before."
"Ooh what color are Cody's underwear?" Heather asked.
Topher put on the X-ray glasses as Cody realized in that moment what that would entail "No don't!" Cody begged.
But it was too late as Topher put on the glasses and looked down only to see that Cody wasn't wearing underwear, and now Topher had to see Cody naked. Luckily the censors caught it, but this still traumatized Topher "Aah!" Topher screamed out.
"What's wrong?" Zoey asked.
"Uh guys, I didn't wear any underwear today. I tend to go commando, but I didn't expect Topher to look at me with X-ray glasses." Cody explained as many people were grossed out by the situation.
"Ooh can I borrow those glasses." Sierra said in eagerness.
"Absolutely not!" Kitty and Mickey said at the same time.
Confessional- Topher
Topher is shown breathing in a paper bag trying to get his breath under control. "Cody is a damn freak. Like whom goes commando in the Amazon. Like whom does that?"
Confessional- Cody
"It's not a big deal to go commando in the Amazon. It is kind of embarrassing to have Topher see me naked, I would have rather it been Kitty or heck even" Cody began saying before remembering the camera was in the confessional "Gwen, yeah it would be Gwen."
Confessional- Sierra
"If I win the money, I will win surgery to extend my arms, I want to be the one to see Cody like that." Sierra stated.
Back To Scene
Back in the present time, Topher had gotten his composure together and was looking in Cody's pocket, "I think I have it. Ow! Fuck!" Topher yelled out in pain.
"Oh my gosh, what happened my boo." Anne Maria asked, practically begging.
"Topher stabbed himself with Cody's EpiPen." Kitty told as she winced at the sight.
"I'm too young and beautiful to die." Topher screamed out crying.
"Dude relax, an EpiPen won't kill you. It's just a big shot of adrenaline, you'll be fine." Cody explained. Kitty decided to take action and looked in Cody's back pocket and instantly found the flashlight "Oh back left, heh I'm sorry." Cody said
"I'm not the one you should be apologizing to." Kitty said as she looked over to Topher as Cody saw that Topher was still freaked out.
Team Style's Camp
Alejandro was leading his team with him looking at an opening in the ground "Dusk. We can camp here." Alejandro declared.
Owen popped up slightly off screen and was crawling on both his arms and legs, "I need rest and water." Owen said.
"Sir, yes sir." Brick said, running off to a nearby river.
Jo just sighed at what transpired, "He's such a boy scout at heart." Jo said, trying to sound annoyed but it wasn't convincing.
Owen then fell completely on the ground in exhaustion, "Guys, nachos would be killer right now." Owen said as he passed out briefly.
"Sure Owen, all we're missing is some chips, beef, tomatoes, cheese, salsa-" Noah said until Julia smacked him in the back of the head "What the hell was that for?"
"Where the hell are we going to find all that junk, just to feed his ass." Julia said in anger. "We're in the middle of nowhere and the nearest city is probably over 10 miles away."
"Oh. Guys I made a list of food for the future for us at least." Jen said, as both Jo and Julia facepalmed at what Jen was thinking.
Team Victory Camp Spot
Everyone on Team Victory was running a little longer trying to make as much of a distance from Team Style who they were nervous was still right behind them. Tyler had opted to turn his sweatshirt as a makeshift shirt that would cover a fair amount of his upper region and more importantly cover his private area. "I should have thought of this weeks ago."
"No dude, you really shouldn't have. The moment we get back on the plane, I'm finding you the spares of your clothes." Damien said. "Wait guys. Everyone needs to stop moving, right now!"
"Why?" Millie asked.
"Chris is wielding a machete, and nothing good happens when someone has a machete." Damien reasoned.
Brody, who still found Damien's paranoid behavior suspicious, ignored his warning, "I don't care. Maybe Chris has some food and I'm starving."
Geoff and Brody then decided to take off as most of the team took off with them, all except Damien, "Why does no one listen to me?" Damien asked as he looked at the camera.
"Chris dude, we are all starving over here." Brody said.
"Team Comeback Victory, you all are still in first place, and you guys get a mini reward." Chris said as the machete cut a rope that was holding a crate, the crate crashed, and many bananas were shown. "All the bananas you can eat."
"Aw man, this is beautiful," Brody said, nearly crying. "Group hug." Bridy yelled out as he and Geoff joined Chris in a group hug who was shown looking uncomfortable.
Damien had finally made his way to his teammates as Jasmine teased him, "And you were worried about a little machete, mate?"
"It's a machete, it's not an unreasonable fear. Chris, why the heck did you have a machete?" Damien asked.
"I just like scaring you guys sometimes, but I would never actively harm anyone myself." Chris explained as his walkie talkie was soon ringing.
Topher's voice came through the walkie talkie, and he was talking a mile a minute, "It's Topher, my hands are tied up in the Zingys-" Topher said in the walkie talkie.
"Wow, this sounds serious, and he may be in trouble." Chris said.
Topher's voice was still ringing "Cody's pants, him and this trouble is big"
Cody's voice was also on the receiving end, "No I'm not! Wait no, forget I said that!"
"I'll take it after the break." Chris said as the camera faded away.
Commercial Break
After the break Chris was shown holding the walkie talkie, as members of Team Victory were shown looking scared, "Chris, Chris it's Topher, Topher!"
"Walkie talkies are for emergencies only." Chris stated, in a matter-of-fact tone.
Topher then appeared on screen with Cody and Heather within frame, "The Zingys tied my hands in Cody's pants and his trouble is big!" Topher yelled out.
Bowie, who was the one with Team Style's walkie talkie came on screen, and had a confused look on his face, "Wait, did Topher give Cody a hand job?"
Jasmine then appeared on the top left screen next to Chris, "Is that even allowed to be said on air?" she asked.
Back with Team Amazon, Cody wanted to diffuse the situation, "Topher didn't give me a hand job, He just felt my back pants pocket for a flashlight."
"He felt you up?" Bowie asked.
"No, we-" Cody said, just sounding exasperated as Topher took the walkie talkie from him. .
"This trouble is big, HELP US!" Topher yelled out.
"Topher stabbed himself with Cody's EpiPen in an accident." Kitty explained.
"Help us, I don't want to die!" Mickey said scared, holding on tightly to Kitty, but not explaining why he was so scared.
"E-merg-en-cies!" Chris once again emphasized.
"Give me that! We are being held at spearpoint by the Zing Zings, send ... help…... now!" Heather said in pure frustrated anger.
Lindsay showed up in the top right frame with Chris and Jasmine, "We're in First place! Team Victory will win, and you guys should see what Tyler's wearing today."
"I'm killing it!" Tyler said off screen as both Chris and Jasmine shook their heads in disagreement with what Tyler just said.
Chris had quickly gained his composure, "Okay Team Amazon remain calm and.." at that moment the musical bell dinged.
"You must be joking." Heather said in anger,
"Are we going to have to sing backup?" Owen asked as Bowie glared at him for saying that.
"Nope this is all Team Amazon today. Need as many of you guys to sing though and hit it!" Chris said as the camera zoomed back in solely on the Team Amazon camp.
Musical Number
The song started up with one of the Zing Zings playing guitar, as a second one also appeared with a guitar, "We should've just gone left." Heather sang as she glared at Topher.
"We wouldn't be in this mess." Emma sang looking down at the ground.
"I said so too but now Topher has used Cody's EpiPen." Sierra sang, looking at the Zing Zings in front of her before glaring at Topher.
"Now if he gets bitten." Scott spoke up next.
"My obituary is written." Cody said looking unsure, at both Kitty and Topher.
"Oh, what would I do then?" Sierra sang wistfully looking at the ground.
"You'd stay away from my friend." Mickey said looking bitterly over at Sierra.
The music took a quick pause and all of a sudden sped up, "Tied up rope is no joke." Topher quickly said.
"Spears mean we could all get poked." Anne Maria said protecting her hair
"It would probably be in the face." Courtney states as a matter of fact
"Please have us leave this place." Katie sang begging on her knees.
"This isn't the luck I would hope for to get a quick buck." Zoey said, pointing at herself.
"Someone from our team is probably out." Ella sang last as the camera cut towards Heather.
"Out, yeah, out. Ooh, yeah." Heather sang, closing out the song.
End of Musical Number
The Zing Zings saw Heather's missing tooth which cut the song entirely and they ran away from her to another part of their camp, "Is my missing tooth really that hideous?" Heather asked.
"I find it repulsive." Courtney stated off screen.
The Zing Zings then revealed a Statue with a golden tooth in it, "They might look at Heather as a God of some kind." Cody observed.
"Wouldn't that mean, the rest of us are expendable?!" Gwen asked as she grew in fear.
Team Victory Camp Spot
At Team Victory's camp spot, the camera showed Bridgette slumped on the ground with a heavier belly, before getting woken up "What the hell?" Bridgette said, grabbing the flashlight next to her. Before she could turn on the flashlight, a dark presence dragged her behind a bush and put a hand over her mouth, "Who's there." Bridgette said in a scared tone after what transpired.
"It's me, Harold." Harold stated, as the camera now showed him.
"Harold, what the heck? Why did you drag me into a bush?" Bridgette asked.
"Those bananas were a trap! They are all over our campsite and I'm trying to make sure nobody gets mauled." Harold explained.
"Do you have any ideas beyond getting us away from the monkeys? It's the middle of the night." Bridgette asked.
"Already covered, Ezekiel has been awake and is using the remaining bananas to get them away from us." Harold told Bridgette. The camera then panned to Ezekiel who was luring monkey away from Millie with a banana and treating it like a dog in a way.
"Okay, since I am going to be up for the rest of the night, I may as well ask you stuff Harold." Bridgette stated, as Harold nodded. "How are you holding up since Leshawna left yesterday?"
"I've been better. I just keep telling myself that if I can just get past day one, I will be fine. But right now, I feel alone." Harold said, looking at a nearby tree as he spoke.
"But you aren't alone Harold, you have the whole team to support you, and not to mention you have Ezekiel." Bridgette said, looking afar at the prairie boy.
Harold sighed in annoyance, "That's the other thing. I still don't trust Ezekiel. He will do anything to win this season, so what if he is playing me for a fool?"
"Didn't Leshawna want both of you guys to get along, and besides I can talk to Ezekiel. Maybe he'll be honest with me." Bridgette reasoned.
"Leshawna told me to, yeah. Ah Leshawna. The trust isn't there, but I do appreciate Ezekiel trying, it just feels disingenuous." Harold further said.
Damien, who had just woken up, didn't hear the conversation and walked up to both Harold and Bridgette, "What's wrong?" Damien asked, as Harold and Bridgette pointed to Ezekiel with a herd of monkeys and leading them away from the camp with a bundle of bananas.
Team Style Camp Site
Over at Team Style's camp spot, Noah and Owen were shown talking on the far end of the campsite "Finally some one-on-one time." Noah said. "How are things going with Jo and Brick?"
"It's great buddy. Jo can be a little intense but she's fine and seems misunderstood. As for Brick, he is a total goofball and awesome." Owen told Noah. "What about Julia and Sky?"
"They are uh, interesting. To say the least." Noah said, looking over to both of them.
"Awe, does someone have a crush on one of those girls?" Owen teased.
Noah blushed in embarrassment, but felt in that moment he didn't feel anything more than friendship for either girl, "No, not at all. They're fine. But I've only gotten to know them for a couple of days. Besides, my dream girl is someone who is headstrong, aspiring to have a good job, and can handle my sense of humor. Julia finds my sense of humor annoying, and Sky wants to be a future Olympian. Pass. But Sky is a lot more tolerable than I thought she would be."
The camera panned over to another edge of the campground with Jen, Trent, Bowie, and Justin all together talking. "The fashion choices by Nichelle La'Donna need to be studied. She is an action star with such impeccable taste. It's what Tom and I aspire too." Jen told the 3 guys, with Trent looking transfixed, and Justin somewhat paying attention.
Bowie however wasn't paying attention at all, "Yeah, that's great Jen."
Justin instantly turned his head and saw that Bowie had his hand on his chin and was deep in thought, ""What's wrong Bowie? I know for a fact that you love talking about Nichelle La'Donna and how she can do not do anything wrong and how if you were straight, you would date her."
"It's this whole Eva situation. I know none of us told Julia about me planning that vote. It's leaving me confused." Bowie explained.
"Maybe Julia came up with that on her own?" Justin suggested.
As fate would have it, Brick the person who told Julia before the Rio De Janeiro challenge came walking up to them, "Hey Brick how are you- Oh my gosh what is that horrible smell?" Trent asked.
Brick looked around with a guilty face, but didn't want to confess that he peed his pants, "I don't know. It's probably just the smell of the jungle." Brick said as he lied. "How are all of you guys doing, Bowie?"
Bowie was still completely silent as Justin spoke up, "Bowie is just trying to think of who told Julia about him getting Eva out a week ago."
Brick instantly perked up, not realizing the consequences of what he was about to say, "Oh I told her, she wanted to know about the Eva elimination the day after and who spearheaded it so I told it was Bowie since you are so smart. No big deal though. I should probably go tend to the fire." Brick said in a way that sounded guilty but also sincere.
What Brick said left all 4 of Bowie, Justin, Jen, and Trent in a stunned silence. "Wow, I feel even more confused." Trent said in shock.
"He's too honest for his own good. Heh." Jen chuckled.
Confessional- Bowie
"I can't trust Brick after that. I told him to vote out Eva and not even a challenge later he sold me out for the whole plan. If I trust someone, then they can believe everything I will say. But if I can't trust you. You can't believe a damn word I tell you."
Back To Scene
Sky, Julia, Owen, Jo, Duncan and Alejandro were all by the fire as there was all of a sudden, a growl noise and a large scream heard off screen, "What was that noise? Is that coming from the fire?" Owen asked.
"Fires don't make noises like that." Sky explained.
"Al made it. Maybe Spanish fires growl." Owen told, which made Jo laugh.
"That's offensive you fat oaf." Alejandro said before hearing another growl "What is that?" Alejandro asked as he blew on the fire to make it larger, unfortunately this made everyone see what was making the noise and it was large carnivorous giant caterpillars. One of which put the fire out and all of them began attacking Team Style.
Zing Zings Camp
Back at the Zing Zings Camp they had Heather in a chair that looked like a throne, and the Zing Zings were working on her face putting a gold tooth in her mouth "Aaahh! No! No! That's right back off. Back off!" Heather then gasped and realized she had an extra tooth in her mouth where the old one was. She still had the black eye, but she was feeling much happier.
Confessional- Heather
"Evan as a child, I knew that someday a large group of people would worship me. I knew."
Back To Scene
Topher, who was feeling the effects of the EpiPen, spoke up, "That's insane. The gold tooth is insane guys. Just absolutely fucking batshit insane, I can't insane. I can't fucking believe this." Topher was speaking and more so swearing.
Anne Maria wasn't the most thrilled about Topher's swearing and frantic speaking herself however, "Cody you caused my man to be like this. Get him to stop swearing so much."
"Better yet, get him to shut up all together, I can't take his constant talking." Gwen complained.
"Hey, I happen to like his voice, and you don't get to tell people what to do you schmuck." Anne Maria told Gwen in response.
As Anne Maria and Gwen were now arguing, the camera went right back to Cody and Topher, "Topher buddy just settle down, take it easy. It's just a gold tooth." Cody said, trying to calm him down.
"I don't fucking care! I'll take it easy when I'm dead!" Topher yelled out.
"Heh, I don't think Topher knows he just referenced SpongeBob." Mickey laughed. "Except this isn't mountain climbing or imaginary."
Team Victory Camp Spot
Back with Team Victory, all of them were now awake as Millie led a monkey with a banana, "That should be the last of them." Millie noted.
"It's almost dawn Team, best we get going." Bridgette told everyone "Be careful."
All 11 members of Team Victory were slowly walking, trying to avoid making any noises to startle the monkeys and this worked until Geoff stepped on a branch "Oh crap." Geoff muttered.
Soon all the monkeys jumped all over Geoff and Brody as both were getting mauled by the monkeys, and both ran screaming. Ezekiel chased after them yelling out "Calm down monkeys, they aren't the enemies, eh!"
The rest of Team Victory could only watch in fear and shock at what had transpired.
Team Style Camp Site
It was now officially morning as many members of Team Style were holding sticks to defend themselves while being covered in bug bites, "Day break. We have no time to lose, we have to make it to Machu Picchu if we want to get the golden treasure." Alejandro told the team as they woke up.
Brick looked around though and instantly noticed that Owen was missing "What about Owen?"
"We have no time." Alejandro said.
Brick looked to Jo as the rest of the team was taking off "What do you think?"
"We're probably behind Team Victory, let's get this challenge over with and find him on the way back." Jo said as she took off and a reluctant Brick agreed.
Machu Picchu
Most of Team Victory was shown crawling up the stairs to Machu Picchu after the monkey incident. "The victorious Team Victory, somehow you all are still in First place. Find the golden treasure and you will ride first class and no one from your team will be sent home tonight." Blaineley explained
"Yes! Yes! Yes! We got this!" Lindsay cheered out.
Chris had now walked into the scene and saw all the scratches on Geoff and Brody. "What happened to the party bros?"
"Our camp got invaded by miniature monkeys, due to the bananas. Ezekiel tried to calm them down, but Geoff startled them awake so he and Brody got mauled." Harold explained.
"I had to pry the monkeys off of them, eh." Ezekiel noted.
"I deserve it dudes, I woke them up. They had every right to attack us." Geoff said as he put his head in shame.
Jasmine who was next to Geoff however was annoyed and smacked him in the face "That's enough whining out of you. Get your head in the game mate. We have a lead, and we can't squander it."
"Yeah dudes, we got this! Ow!" Brody cheered until he felt his scratches in pain again.
"That's the spirit, but what's the plan?" Millie asked.
"Bridgette, you watch over Geoff and Brody. The rest of us will look over Machu Picchu and split up, that way we will cover more ground. 1, 2, 3, go!" Jasmine called out. Soon the team split up as Shawn sighed in admiration.
Confessional- Shawn
"Whenever Jasmine takes control of the team and instructs us, my gosh dudes, it's such a turn on (pauses) I mean I admire strong women. Heh, heh. This confessional can be edited, right?"
Back To Scene
The scene came back to show Team Style sans Owen running up the steps as Chris walked up to them "Not so fast, you guys can't search until the whole team is here."
"Owen's missing, isn't he?" Sky asked as she looked behind her.
"You never said the whole team had to be here. You're making up the rules as you go" Alejandro protested.
"I didn't think I had too, it was one of those unwritten rules." Chris explained.
"As much as I hate Chris, he does have a point." Duncan said, grossed out he was agreeing with Chris.
"Fine, allow me to search for our beloved teammate." Alejandro said as he began to take off until Jo stopped him in his tracks. "Now what?"
"Don't even bother, you deliberately left Owen behind on purpose. Brick and I will look for him, not you." Jo told Alejandro. "Also, because Owen needs to realize the absolute snake that you are!" Jo accused Alejandro.
Jo and Brick made their way down the stairs as everyone present looked at Alejandro "I did no such thing." while some believed him. Others like Noah raised their eyebrows at what Alejandro just said.
Confessional- Noah
"I would have gone to find Owen, but I need to make sure that Owen and I aren't associated with each other. But I suspect that rat Alejandro left Owen behind on purpose. I really hope Julia and Sky want him gone tonight. Just get rid of him, I'll do what they tell me to, but I hope it's Alejandro tonight if we lose."
Zing Zings Camp
Back with Team Amazon, Topher was shown to be completely asleep as Cody who was next to him observed "When an EpiPen wears off, it knocks you out good."
"Topher and his dumb snoring are driving me insane." Sierra said in anger.
"Are you sure Sierra? You're already crazy." Kitty told from the other side of the tree.
"That's not funny, you, homewrecker." Sierra accused,
"I wasn't joking."
"Heather, can't you just get the Zing Zings to untie us and set us free?" Courtney asked.
"What if I offer to set you guys free, and they get so angry they make one of you guys a sacrifice, we wouldn't want that now would we." Heather told Courtney, happy to have some power over her.
"She has a point." Mickey said.
"Oh, just shut up, you, stupid twig!" Courtney yelled in anger.
Confessional- Zoey
Being tied up by the Zing Zings wasn't ideal, but I didn't mind Topher's snoring. (Pauses) But I'm over him."
Team Style Camp
Brick and Jo were walking around the camp looking around for Owen, "Owen where are you buddy?" Brick asked before looking around before remembering it was just him and Jo. "Look now that it's just the two of us, can I ask you something Jo?"
"What Brick?!" Jo impatiently said.
Brick flinched and while he was going to ask Jo multiple questions, he decided to ask the less important question, "Why did you call out Alejandro in front of everyone? We don't have proof that Alejandro left Owen behind on purpose. I'd like to believe he's not that evil." Brick explained before backing into a hanging cocoon.
"What the heck is that thing?" Jo asked.
Both Jo and Brick heard mumbling sounds coming from the giant cocoon, Brick uncovered the bottom of it and saw Owen, "Owen, what are you doing in a giant cocoon!?" Brick asked in shock.
"Brick, Jo! I'm so glad you guys found me. The caterpillars took me away last night, and Al was the only one awake. He saw me get carried away and did nothing to stop them." Owen explained as Brick and Jo carefully got Owen out of the cocoon.
"That snake ass! Jo shouted in anger.
"Guys, this isn't my thing, but can we please send Al out next, he left me to die. I'm sorry, I thought Al was my friend. He was never my friend."
"Finally, someone who agrees with me." Jo exclaimed.
"Look guys, let's focus on the challenge, maybe we'll win today." Brick said, as he, Jo, and Owen took off.
Confessional- Jo
"I'm thrilled that Owen wants Alejandro gone, and maybe he will finally be out of here. Things are looking up for Jo. I hope."
Confessional- Brick
"Voting out Alejandro would be such a hard thing to do. He was my first ally and friend in this game, but if he is just going to cause trouble and hurt my friends Owen and Jo. I'll vote him out. Sorry soldier."
Machu Picchu
Back at Machu Picchu all of Team Style who weren't Jo, Brick, and Owen were sitting on a stump, well except for Alejandro who was pacing back and forth in anger, "Once again, I didn't leave Owen behind. Jo and Brick are probably just trying to save face."
At that moment Jo, Brick, and Owen showed up, "Okay guys. Let's find this treasure guys." Sky cheered out.
Chris and Blaineley had finally sat down on the stump that Team Style was sitting on and around it. However, it wasn't even 10 seconds before they had to stand up "We found it!" Justin yelled off screen.
"That's weird." Chris says as he walks up to Owen and Justin, "What are you doing?" Chris asked.
"We have it. The olden treasure. It's just impossible to get out." Owen explained as he and Justin kept moving an item back and forth as it was planted in the ground.
"That's great. Except we want the golden treasure." Blaineley reminded the two of them.
Lindsay and Millie ran onto the scene with Lindsay holding a tiny golden Statue, "I found it!"
"That has to be gold. Harold and Damien, both looked it over and confirmed it as gold." Millie explained.
"That's the treasure we are looking for! Which means Team Victory gets a victory today." Chris announced as everyone within Team Victory cheered out.
"Did he say golden?" Owen asked as he finally lifted up the artifact and the sun shined on it, causing Machu Picchu to start getting destroyed.
"Run for your lives!" Chris yelled out as everyone made a quick escape over the collapsing ruins. After everyone was safely away from the ruins. Chris dusted off the rubble off him, "Owen you're getting a penalty vote tonight for destruction of property as the show can't afford you guys can't break so much shit."
Confessional- Owen
"I'm scared tonight, our team is going to the elimination, and I could be going home. I got left behind and I destroyed parts of Machu Picchu. But I can tell everyone about Al if I feel threatened."
Confessional- Bridgette
"It's a relief that my team can't send anyone home. It's just annoying that Geoff isn't taking the game seriously right now. But for now, I can relax."
Zing Zings Camp
At the Zing Zings camp, Chef appeared with a butcher knife "Chef!" Sierra, Cody, Courtney, Kitty, and Mickey all called out.
At the same time one of the Zing Zings ran up and pointed a spear in Chef's face. "Back off, he means no harm. If you want to get on their good side, you'll kneel Chef. Besides, I don't want a duel to happen. I'm kind of a goddess for the Zing Zings." Heather bragged.
"Those aren't Zing Zings; they look like local Peruvian teenagers and probably some form of actors." Chef explained as he cut the rope that tied up all of Team Amazon as Topher fell to the ground still asleep.
"I don't care, I'm just happy to be set free!" Courtney said as she saw Scott nearby and gave him a hug out of fear. Scott was shown smiling at having Courtney hug him, however.
"Wait, how can they not be Zing Zings?" Gwen asked before seeing Anne Maria stand right next to her, "What's your problem?"
"You cost us the challenge. You're going down!" Anne Maria threatened as she chased Gwen off screen and Gwen screamed in fear.
Back with Chef and the rest of Team Amazon, "I agree with Gwen. The spears and masks are the exact same as the outfits Chris showed in the picture yesterday." Cody reasoned.
"Yeah, I memorized the picture. Those have to be Zing Zings" Mickey said, vouching for Cody.
"I did too." Kitty chimed in.
Chef broke his stern look and began laughing and pulled out a walkie talkie "Chris dude, this prank of yours was genius. They all fell for it, hook line and sinker."
"What's going on?" Zoey asked as she handed Mickey his EpiPen, assuming that there was nothing to worry about.
One of the Zing Zings took off his mask and revealed a paper he had on file, "We're unpaid actors and the show contacted our school and told us we would get good publicity for our jungle production of MacBeth."
"Then what about the golden tooth?" Emma asked.
The other supposed Zing Zing took off his mask, "We had a spare gold tooth from our prop department and saw how hideous she was, so we gave it to her. We had no use for it." the other teen explained as both walked away.
"I let teenage bit actors put a prop golden tooth in my mouth, what? Ew!" Heather said in disgust.
"I guess you weren't that much of a goddess after all." Katie sarcastically said.
"Lastly you guys obviously lost so you'll be sending someone home along with Team Style."
All of a sudden in the blink of an eye, Cody got bit and yelled out in the pain, "Ow! Ow! What the fuck?" Cody screamed out before looking down and realized what happened, "I got bit by a red ant!"
"Do we have a second EpiPen?" Ella asked, looking around. "Who has Mickey's EpiPen?"
"I have the EpiPen." Mickey said, "Zoey gave it to me when Chef freed us. Wait what's going on?" Mickey asked in confusion as he was too stunned from all the recent events to even think coherently.
Cody looked over to his best friend and realized what this entailed, but then also realized that he could be dead within the next 15 minutes, so Cody quickly had his mind made up, "Stab me in the ass with that epipen Mickey before I end up dead!" Cody yelled out as he dropped his pants, and once again a censor blur had to be shown for Cody's crotch.
"Are you sure?" Mickey asked, freaked out at the severity of what was going on.
"I can do it. I don't mind." Sierra begged, "I can even suck the poison out." Sierra said as she tried to grab Cody's hand, however Ella and Katie quickly restrained her.
Mickey decided it was better he do it as he knew Cody would rather have him do it than Sierra get anywhere near him, so Mickey stabbed Cody with his own EpiPen. "Ow, fuck that hurts so much, damn it feels good though!" Cody yelled out in pain. Scott however found the situation funny and began laughing quietly while he was still holding Courtney.
At that same moment, Topher woke up right above where Cody and Mickey were standing, "Did we win?" Topher then looked up and saw that Cody was standing over him, "Why do I have to see Cody's dick again?"
Everyone who was there, who wasn't a stabbed a Cody, or Anne Maria who was beating Gwen up, and lastly Zoey herself glared at Topher, as Zoey simply said to Topher, "Please be quiet."
Confessional- Scott
"Ha, Ha, Ha! Seriously I thought the dramatics with the bug yesterday were funny enough. But then Cody gets bit by a red ant, and the EpiPen? Peak comedy. As for the vote. It's pretty simple, Heather is gone, and she has no idea I'm sending her home."
Confessional- Gwen
(Gwen was now showing a black eye on account of Anne Maria) "I'm kind of nervous. It was my choice to go right that led all of us to lose the challenge. Hopefully I can get rid of Heather and then I never have to sabotage again. It still doesn't feel right."
First Class
In First Class, Team Victory was enjoying what they viewed as a long overdue win, "Freshly baked cookies? Don't mind if I do. We've earned this win. To Team Victory!" Damien cheered out as everyone cheered out.
Lindsay and Tyler were shown making out in celebration by one of the seats, "I'm so proud of you." Tyler told Lindsay who blushed in pure happiness.
"Aw thanks babe." Lindsay said as she and Tyler went right back to making out.
Bridgette sighs as she looks out the window in First Class, Jasmine then walks up to her. "What's wrong mate? I figured you would be thrilled to be safe tonight?"
"I am, I am. I just wish everyone on the team took this challenge seriously. We could have easily been sent to elimination and it feels like I am one of the only ones who is focused on winning the challenges. At least we don't have to worry about sending anyone home." Bridgette explained.
Right next to Bridgette and Jasmine was Shawn and Harold. "Harold, are you doing any better?" Shawn asked.
"I am, I'm glad we are safe, and I at least made it past Day 1 of Leshawna being eliminated. Statistically speaking, the first day is the hardest after you say goodbye to someone. But this elimination twist is something I think we can all agree on that we don't want anything to do with." Harold explained.
Cargo Hold
In the cargo hold, Bowie, Trent, and Justin were all shown talking, with Jen keeping watch. "Tonight, we have to cut Brick loose." Bowie explained.
"Isn't this kind of risky?" Trent asked.
"Don't worry. With all 4 of us, and Duncan we'll be fine. Besides boys, think about it, do you guys really think people like Sky, Julia, Jo, and Alejandro will ever be able to get along?" Bowie explained.
Duncan walked down the steps, "Yo. Food is ready, or what can be considered edible mush. Whatever fits." Duncan said as he walked past Jen to the other 3 guys.
"It's great you showed up." Bowie said.
"It is?" Justin and Trent asked at the same time in shock.
"Of course, Duncan is the last vote we need for this plan. Do either of you two listen to me, at all?" Bowie asked indignantly.
"Okay, what's the plan? I assume we are either voting out Alejandro or the cockroach Jo?" Duncan asked.
"Not exactly, we were thinking about taking out Brick." Bowie explained.
"Why? The dude is a workhorse in the challenges and is valuable to have even if his soldier and honor shit is annoying and is stuff, I don't care about." Duncan said. "This isn't a good idea at all."
"Look, Brick can't be trusted. He blamed Bowie for the Eva elimination." Justin explained.
"Not to mention, he is the link between Alejandro and Jo. Get rid of him and there's no way those 2 ever work together." Bowie further explained.
"It's not like any of us trust Alejandro either." Duncan explained.
"Do any of us trust him? No, but with Alejandro we know what to expect with him. With Brick he can leak stuff to other people unknowingly and our team still has plenty of physically strong players." Bowie further said.
Duncan turned to Trent, "You've been quiet John Mayer. What are you thinking?" Duncan asked.
"I mean I agree that it is a huge risk to send Brick home, but Bowie and Justin both bring up good points." Trent explained.
"I'll do whatever you guys want, but this feels like a pointless move to make and I'm worried that this is a pointless move to make and something bigger is at play." Duncan said as the camera flashed away.
Economy Class Section
Meanwhile back in the economy class section benches, Cody, Kitty, and Mickey were sitting on the bench as Cody looked disheveled. "I should probably be by myself, the effects of the EpiPen are going to kick in soon." Cody said as he walked off.
After Cody left, Kitty turned towards Mickey, "How awkward was it to stab Cody in the butt with an EpiPen?" Kitty asked.
"I didn't mind, since he insisted, and it was a matter of life and death. Besides, Cody means a lot to me as a friend." Mickey explained, trying to emphasize that there was nothing weird or awkward with his and Cody's interaction, even if Mickey himself felt odd about the whole thing, but didn't want anyone to know.
"Same with me. Hopefully Sierra leaves tonight. I can't take her being here anymore. I'm exhausted." Kitty said. "Can you keep a secret?" she asked.
"Of course. I'm a gentleman and a gentleman never will tell." Mickey explained.
"Look, I have a feeling that someone on this team likes me and not as a friend, but more than that." Kitty explained.
"I'm flattered, I really am Kitty. But I don't look at you that way." Mickey said, sounding sincere to some extent.
"Oh of course not, Mickey I look at you like a little brother type. It's why I trust you." Kitty explained as Mickey looked reassured.
"Okay, then who is it?" Mickey asked, but already having an idea about who it was.
"It's Cody, he has to like me, he acts like a total gentleman to me, we always talk about video games when you aren't around. I just want to believe something can happen between us." Kitty explained.
Mickey inside felt a slight tinge of sadness, but quickly pushed it aside and ignored that feeling as quickly as it came, "That's great. I do want to say that Cody told me he feels that way towards you. He wants to go out with you, but he thought I would be jealous."
"Oh, that's great. I should probably tell him; I am willing to date him." Kitty said and stood up, before Mickey grabbed her hand. "What's wrong?"
"Until Sierra's gone, we shouldn't say it, so she doesn't find out and wants to kill us. Think about how crazy she is. She gets annoyed hat us for so much as talking with Cody. For our own safety, she has to go before she hurts us." Mickey explained.
Kitty's face fell "Mickey you're right. I just hate it as I want to tell Cody."
Common Area Table
At the common area table, Courtney, Scott, Gwen and Sierra, "I will agree to vote Heather out with you guys, on one condition. Gwen, you have to stop being so nice to Cody, he's mine. Eventually Kitty and Mickey will also learn." Sierra explained.
"As long as it means Heather is out, you have a deal." Gwen told Sierra.
Soon Sierra left to go to the elimination as the 3-remaining sat at the table, "Do we really have enough people to eliminate Heather tonight?" Courtney asked.
"Of course we do, we have us 3, Sierra, Katie and Ella are mindless followers, and I imagine I can even get Topher on board." Scott explained.
"What if there's another twist and the gold tooth gives Heather immunity for tonight? What if Sierra is lying?" Courtney asked in a panicked tone.
"Courtney, calm down, do you trust me?" Scott said.
Courtney had calmed down and looked at Scott, "What kind of question is that? I trust you more than anyone here besides Duncan."
Scott's heart sank at the Duncan mention, but he kept his composure and continued on, "If that's the case you have to act like it. Heather is gone tonight."
Gwen giggled at the exchange as Courtney looked over to Gwen, "What's so funny?" Courtney asked.
Gwen quickly lied and said, "I'm thinking about when we get to watch Heather's face when she realizes she is going home."
Elimination Ceremony
At the elimination ceremony, two concessions were shown as both Team Style and Amazon were sitting down as Alejandro sat next to Emma and Heather "Great, it's pirate Pablo. What do you want?"
"Oh Heather, if you go home tonight, your departure will make this game so easy for me." Alejandro boasted.
"I wouldn't be so confident, and I know you played a role in Leshawna's elimination, Sadie too probably." Heather accused.
"You can't prove that, and besides with the temptation of a kiss, you would have never resisted me forever." Alejandro bragged.
"I would have crushed you!" Heather told Alejandro.
"Attention everyone. It's time to see who goes home tonight, so first we will see how Team Amazon voted." Blaineley announced.
Confessional- Gwen
"I vote for Heather, and Chris or Blaineley. I have 10 dollars ready if either of you forget to give her a parachute."
Confessional- Katie
"I vote for Heather. She is just still not nice to be around."
Confessional- Ella
"I vote for Heather, no hard feelings."
Confessional- Topher
"I guess I'll vote for Heather. (Yawns) Sorry. Today has been a blur"
Confessional- Courtney
"Goodbye Heather, this feels too good to be true."
Confessional- Mickey
"I am voting for Sierra, she needs to back off on being so attached to Cody, he's my best friend. Sorry if that sounds mean. I just can't take her constant anger at me anymore."
Confessional- Scott
"This vote has been a long time coming, you should have never trusted me. I vote for Heather. Heh sucker."
Back To Scene
"He is dead." Heather told herself as she glared at Scott, mad that he voted her out, while Scott had a confident smirk.
Confessional- Heather
"I vote for Gwen."
Confessional- Emma
"I am voting for Gwen. Sorry I can't vote out Heather, and she did cost us the challenge."
Confessional- Sierra
"I vote for Heather. I always dreamed about voting her out and now it's a reality. Yay!"
Confessional- Kitty
"For my sake, and Cody's, I vote for Sierra."
Confessional- Zoey
"No one deserves a stalker that is obsessed as Sierra. I voted for her."
Confessional- Cody
"Well, the EpiPen might be kicking in soon, so I will make this quick. I am voting for Sierra for the third time. I thought she was the obsessive girlfriend I wanted, until I met the new people this season and realized that was wrong to ever think. Sierra has to go."
Back To Scene
"Let's just get this over with." Heather said as Emma and Alejandro looked worried for her.
"This would be a good time to see the fallout from Heather leaving, but now is the time for the big twist." Chris said.
"That's right Chris. Each team voted separately and could only vote for people from their own team. But it will be the person with the biggest total votes across both teams that leaves tonight, and in order for Heather to stay, you need 8 people to vote for someone on Team Style as you have 7 votes." Blaineley explained.
Most of Team Style cheered sans Julia who had a confident smirk, while on Team Amazon, Courtney, Scott, and Gwen cheered out thinking that Heather was leaving.
"Now it is time for Team Style, and to see where they all voted tonight." Chris said as the TV screen turned back on.
Confessional- Brick
"Look, if both my friends want Alejandro gone, he has to go. Sorry buddy. Good luck soldier."
Confessional- Bowie
"If I can't trust you, you have to go. Bye Brick."
Confessional- Trent
"It was great getting to know you, but I am going with the majority. Brick."
Confessional- Duncan
"I still don't know if this is the right move. But if this is the majority I will go with it. Brick, sorry dude. You are not cut out for this game."
Confessional- Jen
"I will vote for Brick tonight. That being said, OMG I cannot wait to see what fashion choices you make once you are gone. I'll miss you."
Back To Scene
Brick had a nervous look on his face, "Jo, what's happening?" Brick asked terrified.
"Wet pants, you are fine, you are at 4 and you have to have 8. You'll be fine." Jo reassured Brick, who calmed down for a moment.
"I hope so." Brick told himself as he held both Owen and Jo's hands for comfort and shockingly Jo didn't pull away.
Confessional- Alejandro
"I vote for Jo, you are a certifiable pain in the ass and Owen it's Alejandro not Al, oh and he is next, I swear it."
Confessional- Justin
"You can't be trusted, Brick, loose lips sink ships, and it sunk yours."
Confessional- Jo
"I am voting for Alejandro, you are the king cobra, and black mamba wrapped up into one disgusting man. Even if you don't go home tonight the battle lines have been drawn."
Confessional- Owen
"I am voting for Al. I didn't think I would be doing this. But he left me for dead for some giant caterpillars. I wonder if that sentence has ever been said."
Back To Scene
As Alejandro glared at Owen and Jo and Jo did the same to him, Chris spoke up. "Here is where we stand. Brick has 5 votes and Heather has 7, they are the only two eligible for elimination. If the next 3 votes are for Brick he is out, if not Heather is gone."
"Fight like hell when I leave." Heather told Emma.
"I will." Emma and Alejandro both said as Heather glared at Alejandro.
Confessional- Noah
"Everything in me wants to make the move I personally want to make. But I have to put emotions aside. Brick, you are my vote tonight."
Confessional- Sky
"I am sorry, Brick. This is for the best. It was an honor to know you. I don't agree with this, but it's what has to be done."
Back To Scene
Owen was still in a state of shock that Noah voted out Brick, as Noah looked away in shame as did Sky. Brick and Heather were both shown being scared at their wits end knowing this last vote would decide their fate, "Julia is the last vote tonight. Let's see what she said. If she votes for Brick he is out, if she votes for anyone else, Heather is gone." Blaineley announced.
Confessional- Julia
"This is a risk tonight, but I have to take it as I don't know when I will get rid of you again, tonight I vote for.
…

Brick."
Back To Scene
The tension in the elimination room was thick as could be, almost no one could have foreseen that Brick would be the one eliminated, as Chris made it official "It is official. Brick, you have been eliminated from Total Drama World Race, any final words?"
Brick held his head in shame before looking back at his team, he felt hurt, sad, betrayed, but most of all he worried for his teammates. "Good luck guys."
Brick so much as saying that caused Owen to run up to Brick and give him a huge bear hug, "I am going to miss you so much. It should have been Al." Owen cried out.
Alejandro stood up and took immediate offense to that comment "Excuse me, I didn't fall behind in the challenge, and get my name right idiot." Alejandro said in anger.
"How dare you, you left me for dead! I got taken by those monsters." Owen yelled back.
"I did no such thing." Alejandro defended.
"Both of you calm down, and get over here now. We can't have this team anymore divided." Sky yelled out as both Owen and Alejandro took their seats.
Jo was the other person who wanted to say goodbye to Brick, "You know I'll uh, I'll be fine. I will." Jo said trying to have a tough exterior. "It's time for you to go."
"Are you sure you'll be okay?" Brick asked.
Jo was caught off guard by Brick calling her bluff and even though she didn't want to, she began to tear up, "Yes, I will be fine. I am strong."
"I need you to stay strong without me, like I know you will, and win for us but most importantly you. You can do anything you set your mind to." Brick confidently said as he grabbed his parachute bag. "I wish we had more time." Brick said as he gave Jo a kiss on the cheek revealing that Brick felt something for Jo beyond friendship. "Good luck." Brick said as he jumped out of the plane, oddly satisfied with how everything ended up.
"Well that was certainly an elimination, Team Style, and Team Amazon head on back to Economy Class." Blaineley said as she dismissed both teams as Jo was left sad, Owen confused and angry at Noah and Alejandro respectively, while Julia was proud of herself. While for Team Amazon, Sierra was in tears, and Gwen was pissed that Heather somehow managed to avoid elimination.
Confessional- Gwen
"Ugh! Great, now Heather is staying and all that hard work to send her home means nothing, she has the biggest luck ever. I can't even focus on that as I wonder what's going on with the other team especially with Duncan and even Trent after that little fight with Owen and Alejandro."
Confessional- Sierra
"He voted for me for the third time now? I mean, I'm the president of his fan club. I know him better than either Kitty or Mickey. I give him foot rubs, and took some of his hair for a secret collection. It's just so…. Cody!"
Confessional- Cody
"Well today just got worse, now Sierra is a crying mess instead of an obsessed mess. Why can't she just go away?"
Confessional- Noah
"I knew I couldn't trust Alejandro at all. I should have just gone with my gut and send Alejandro home, but instead I listed to Julia as she insisted it had to be Brick tonight."
Confessional- Heather
(Sigh of relief) "I can't take this second chance for granted, everyone who voted me out will pay as I know they fear me, and they should. Then I'll crush Alejandro for dessert."
Confessional- Julia
"Tonight's vote went perfectly as this is what I've been working towards. I knew Brick was involved with Eva's elimination and would squeal. Eventually his own honesty and Bowie's paranoia would be his downfall. Now Duncan is unsure about that group, Alejandro will realize he is nowhere near as powerful as he thinks he is, and while volatile I know what to say to ruin Bowie's game. Bowie better watch his back, because while he may think he is a king with an empire. It's about to collapse and he has no idea."
Confessional- Jo
"I feel, I feel just empty. Brick was my one true ally and now he is gone and I am back to the drawing board. All I have left is Owen. What's frustrating is that it's not like Owen and I are best buddies. Brick was the person we both got along with, but I'll make it work, and one thing everyone should know about me is that I will never give up.
Closing Of Episode
Chris and Blaineley were shown in the cockpit with Chef. "Ooh boy, Jo is pissed. Stay tuned for the fallout next time on Total Drama World Race!" Chris closed out the episode.

Notes:
Thus, the Amazon chapter ends. This chapter was a lot of fun. First of all, adding the twist was to add suspense and had to play in with the elimination. Which I hope it did cause suspense. For the Cody EpiPen situation, I wanted it to be as awkward as possible, so I had Topher be stuck in the Gwen position in that regards instead of one of Kitty or Mickey, also have it be ironic that while Topher didn't want Zoey to experience any bad luck, he was the one who got the bad luck. I also knew heading into this chapter that Heather was staying so I had to think of a way to do so, hence the twist.
Other things, with Team Victory, I kept them canon winning but I wanted to keep the main plot lines alive from that team (Harold and Ezekiel, Bridgette taking the game seriously, Brody being suspicious of Damien). But in general, they were kind of comic relief, especially with Tyler losing his underwear part, which I don't regret at all. (Remember every contestant is 18 during this Fanfic).
Now for the eliminated contestant and this chapter it was Brick. Early on in the story I was having no plot lines beyond being aligned with Alejandro but that was getting real boring. Then the Dave vote happened, and I realized with what I had planned for Jo I could add Brick with that and finally give him some plot. I did like their dynamic, but I knew that with all the other stuff happening within Team Style, I knew I had to cut one of Jo and Brick as their plot line together wasn't a massive one. Ultimately, I had more planned with Jo than Brick, so I decided that Brick would leave in the Amazon chapter.
Then came how to eliminate Brick? He was in a solid spot within Team Style at first. Once the Eva vote happened and how I had it distributed vote wise, I realized how that could lead to Brick's elimination, by having Julia getting Brick to confess since he is honest overall, and have that mess with Bowie's mind and once Bowie finds out the truth from Brick, he turns on Brick for being too honest, and Julia seizes the chance. This elimination will have ramifications for Team Style before they head to elimination again though.
I also didn't really allude to Brick x Jo, but at the last second, I decided to include it this chapter. It wasn't a lot, but I hope you guys like it as I wanted Brick to open up a somewhat softer side to Jo.
Next chapter we are back to Paris, specifically the Louvre, and despite no animal curse I still have the yeti, bear, and baby seal, like canon, the Egypt exhibit, a crazy plane landing and a couple of shocking confessions that turns the game upside down for one team. Stay tuned. Hope you all enjoyed this chapter.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Can't Help Falling In Louvre
Recap
"Previously on Total Drama World Race, the teams got to experience every pitfall Peru could offer in the Amazon jungle. We visited some ancient landmarks, met the wildlife and some locals." Chris explained.
"Team Victory actually scored another victory due to the combined team effort even if Tyler showed his ass, literally." Blaineley jokes.
"Which due to the twist of both teams going to elimination meant Team Style and Team Amazon were vulnerable. On Team Style, Alejandro and Jo's rivalry reached a high when Alejandro left her new ally Owen for carnivorous giant caterpillars. Elsewhere Bowie was still trying to figure out who was putting a bigger target on his back. He was left shocked when Brick confessed to it." Chris said.
"Team Amazon had the worst luck as Gwen lead them down the wrong path, a pair of 'Zing Zings' captured them, and Topher had his own misfortune of seeing too much of Cody and getting stabbed by his EpiPen, while Gwen got a black eye from Anne Maria and Heather got a makeover. Cody ended up with a red ant bite and had to have his best friend Mickey stab him with Mickey's EpiPen." Blaineley laughed.
"At elimination, it was the most total votes for who was to be eliminated, and it seemed like Scott's plan to fool and backstab Heather was going to work, but Bowie decided to cut Brick loose due to Brick's mistake and Julia seized the opportunity to add enough votes to send Brick home. But the cadet did leave Jo with a parting gift." Chris said.
"But most of all Sierra realized Cody had been voting her out for a while, leaving the superfan a mess."
"36 contestants remain, time to drop them in another exotic place and wonder if anything gets destroyed. Another contestant bites the dust. Right here on Total Drama World Race." Chris cheered out.

(End Of Intro)
First Class
The episode started off properly with Team Victory in First Class as Ezekiel was shown sitting at a table with Jasmine on the other end as Ezekiel was trying to eat eggs and bacon, unfortunately for him. He was still a bit clumsy and sent the eggs flying and it landed right in Tyler's eye "Ow!". Tyler cried out in pain.
"Oops sorry." Ezekiel meekly said.
"Guys I am so relaxed right now, so relaxed my brain has to be asleep right now." Lindsay said as she then tried to drink some tea only for it to spill on her, "Yep my brain is asleep. The best thing about First Class is being here with Tyler. Where is Tyler, guys?"
"Right next to you babe." Tyler said as Lindsay removed the cucumbers off her eyes, and saw Tyler had a black eye.
"Oh my gosh Tyler, what happened? Also, what is that smell?" Lindsay asked.
"Ezekiel is trying out a meatless bacon and egg breakfast." Bridgette explained.
"Why? He's going megan?" Lindsay asked.
"It's vegan eh. I want to be more in touch with animals since they apparently like me so maybe going vegan will make them like me more, eh." Ezekiel explained.
"Are you being serious right now?" Damien asked from one of the couches.
"Yep. My parents may not approve, as they think vegans are a bunch of stoner weirdos, eh. But I want to do something different, eh." Ezekiel explained as he began eating his bacon.
Harold and Damien were sitting on the couches as Harold comprehended what Lindsay said earlier "I'm going to have to explain to Lindsay that brains can't actually fall asleep." Harold then looked around and also remembered that Shawn was nowhere to be seen in First Class. "Everyone needs to strap in. Shawn's getting in position!"
Damien looked exasperated at what was about to happen, wishing he was anywhere else. "This whole thing is insane, what Shawn's about to do."
"It does make that boy happy though." Jasmine said as she fastened her seat belt.
"Yeah, but it is going to make me nauseous!" Damien exclaimed.
Economy Class
In Economy Class, Jo is sitting by herself in the corner by the end of the bench looking out the window "(sighs) I miss him." Jo told herself as she thought about Brick.
Owen walked up to her, "Hey Jo. What's wrong buddy?" Owen asked.
"Brick leaving is still leaving me feeling down. He was one of the only people who believed her when the whole Dave situation happened back in Morocco."
"Is there anything I can do for you?" Owen asked.
"The best thing you can do is leave me alone today. I'll be fine soon, but just not right now." Jo explained.
"Wait, are you mad at me? I understand if you are, I'm sorry-" Owen began to say fearing he messed up.
"No, I'm not mad at you. I mean, you actually check to see how I'm doing. Jen did earlier but that's it. I promise I'm not mad. Don't you remember when Izzy left and you were feeling down about it for a few days, that's how I am right now." Jo told Owen.
"Okay, I understand, but if you need someone to talk to, I'm here for you. That's what friends are for." Owen explained. "I miss him a lot too."
The camera then panned over to Duncan and Bowie sitting a little further away, "I've decided that today is the day that I break up with Courtney." Duncan explained.
"Ooh, are you going to want my advice or not?" Bowie asked.
"Nah I think I got it." Duncan confidently said.
"Wish I could watch it." Bowie said.
"Why wouldn't you be able to watch it?" Duncan asked.
"I have some answers I need to figure out, I don't know how Julia figured out we were voting out Brick as I know no one told her that plan." Bowie told Duncan. "Also I know that Sky and Noah didn't come up with that idea."
"How do you figure that? Noah is one of the smartest people in the game." Duncan told Bowie.
"He's smart but he is desperate for allies and would do whatever someone told him to do. Sky is just focused on athletics." Bowie told Duncan.
"Yeah, but Julia is just a vapid party girl who acts all peaceful and mother earth." Duncan told Julia as Duncan didn't see Julia as a threat in the game.
"You haven't seen Julia's nasty side." Bowie told Duncan, with Bowie remembering Julia confronting him in Rio De Janeiro, as Duncan looked unconvinced.
In another part of Economy Class, Noah was with Julia strategizing, or for Noah trying to figure his new ally out. "What was the point of voting Brick out? You just keep telling me, I've got this. What is it that you got?" Noah asked.
"Ugh, don't worry, I have this under control. Stop worrying so much and actually celebrate the fact you were actually on the right side of a vote for once." Julia said as she stood up and walked away leaving Noah confused.
Confessional- Noah
(Groans) "Maybe I could have gotten rid of Alejandro, but I decided not to and trust Julia. What's so frustrating is that she is so vague."
Back To Scene
Noah was still left confused as his other closest ally that wasn't Owen walked up in Sky. "What's wrong Noah?" Sky asked.
"It's just that I wonder if we made the right decision in voting out Brick. I am worried Julia is setting up for failure." Noah explained to Sky his reservations.
"Maybe she is, but remember I have your back. The group is truthfully us two and then Julia. Julia has been acting shady. But for now, I don't think she's after us." Sky explained to Noah who seemed to have calmed down.
The plane all of a sudden shook a little, "What was that?" Trent asked.
"It may have been what I heard last night from Shawn; he wanted to go in the pilot compartment." Alejandro said as everyone sans him gasped in shock.
The plane then experienced hard turbulence "What's happening?" Jen asked in fear as she hit the ground.
"We're going down!" Topher yelled out in fear holding onto himself.
Pilot's Compartment
In the pilot's compartment Shawn and Chef were shown in the main seats, "Ooh a red button." Shawn said as the plane flipped around.
"Boy knock it off." Chef said in annoyance.
"Ooh blue button, though." Shawn said ignoring Chef as he pressed a blue button that made the plane go crazy in the air, "I need this to decompress. Flying a plane is cool and keeps me safe from the zombies."
"Zombies?" Chef asked.
Confessional- Heather
"I have this second chance after somehow surviving the last elimination, so I can't waste it. However, I'm still going to taunt Alejandro and get under his skin as he is a massive hot jerk."
Economy Class
Heather was shown getting up after the turbulence, and stared confidently at Alejandro, "Having trouble controlling your team, Alejandro?" Heather asked.
As it turned out, Heather was right. Owen was shown sucking his thumb in fear, "Come on Owen get down, the plane is under control again!" Jo called out.
Noah and Trent were also shown in disarray as Sky and Jen were getting both of them out of the overhead compartment, "It's okay guys." Sky said.
"Your attempts to make fun of my team are cute." Alejandro retorted.
"Whatever, my girl power team is going to kick your butt today, we don't get distracted by anything, especially boys." Heather confidently said as Alejandro pointed towards Duncan and Gwen who in the plane turbulence, had Duncan land on top of Gwen.
Gwen luckily managed to break the awkwardness "Uh Duncan, what about Courtney?"
"Oh right, yeah." Duncan said getting off of Gwen and brushing himself off.
The camera did however pan to Courtney as she was in Scott's lap out of fear as she had landed in his lap during the turbulence, Courtney didn't notice Duncan and Gwen as she was too scared to even move, until Scott sighed in bliss "Ahh perfect." He spoke.
Courtney was broken out of her fear and got herself off of Scott and then she noticed Duncan and Gwen standing next to each other, but instead of being angry she just rolled her eyes. "Whatever." Courtney told herself.
"Have any other examples, Alejandro?" Heather asked smugly.
Alejandro then pointed towards Sierra who was crying a ton as she was eating ice cream with her hands. Next to her was Topher and Anne Maria trying to enjoy the moment by cuddling but Anne Maria was growing impatient "Can't this girl stop crying!?"
"Get it together!' Heather called out as Sierra ignored her and kept crying.
Heather was going to drag Sierra by her ponytail into the common area, when Anne Maria stood up, "I can't take it anymore, that bitch is getting a beatdown." Anne Maria stated, as due to her rage, had enough anger to lift Sierra up and drag her off screen. You soon heard Anne Maria off screen say, "Stop crying so damn much."
As that was happening Heather sighed in annoyance and sat down with her closest ally Emma. "What's wrong?" Emma asked.
"Nothing it's just, the next time we lose, we can't do any funny business. We're voting Sierra out. She is driving everyone on the team crazy," Heather told Emma as the latter nodded.
"Agreed, we really shouldn't have wasted our votes on Gwen. It was short sighted. Like me dating Chase." Emma said looking down.
"What other horrible things did he do?" Heather asked as the camera moved onto a different scene.
Alejandro looked around and realized Sierra was nowhere in sight, "Coast is clear." Alejandro said as Cody was shown popping out of the luggage compartment and jumped down to the ground.
"Thanks Alejandro. I have to uh go to the uh bathroom, if someone can watch over me." Cody said as he looked around.
"Fine, I'll do it." Mickey said as he volunteered.
Confessional- Cody and Mickey
Mickey was shown facing the camera as Cody was talking behind him, "Chris and Blaineley were the ones that played the clip of me voting her out. Which I had to do. You understand why I voted out Sierra?" Cody asked.
Mickey decided to be sarcastic at that, "No it wasn't like I didn't also vote with you. Oh wait, I did vote with you."
"Have you been talking to Noah? That was dripping in sarcasm."
"No, I haven't. Are you almost done?" Mickey asked, getting his composure back. "There's not a lot of room in here."
"I am, do you know Mickey, I just noticed you have a tear in the back pocket of your jeans." Cody noted as he was now shown on screen.
"Dude, are you checking me out?" Mickey asked as he covered the hole in his pants.
Cody was red from embarrassment "No of course not. You know me, I always check out the ladies. Besides you know I like Kitty." Cody said before seeing Mickey give him a look. "What?"
"When are you going to tell her?" Mickey asked.
"I don't know when, how about when Sierra leaves, okay. Like we agreed. That way I don't have to worry about her getting mauled." Cody noted. "We should probably get back with the rest of the team."
Mickey however was blocking the door, "Nope. This place is probably the safest since Shawn is probably still co-piloting the plane."
At that moment the plane shook, "Agreed, hold on tight." Cody yelled out, as he and Mickey grabbed each other in fear.
Economy Class
Back in Economy Class, Shawn's voice was heard on one speaker "Hey guys. It's time for the somersault."
"Did I hear that right?" Trent asked.
"Give me the mic boy." Chef said as he struggled getting the microphone. "You guys may want to hold onto something heavy." The camera showed Jo, Justin, Bowie, Trent, and Duncan all holding onto Owen. The plane missed the Eiffel Tower barely and spun around in circles in the water. As Shawn was shown getting ejected from the plane into the water, cheering out at what he accomplished.
Confessional- Shawn
"Flying the plane was amazing. Great way to relieve some stress, and Jasmine dared me last night to do that."
Pilot Compartment
In the pilot compartment Chef was shown distressed as both Blaineley and Chris entered the compartment. "What the hell is going on?" Blaineley asked.
"Look, I let Shawn into the compartment as you two ignore everything I say or suggest." Chef angrily said. "I told you two that we should have a door and not a curtain. We deserved this."
"Well, we were supposed to land by the Eiffel Tower." Chris angrily said.
"Don't care. Also, you two need to get your hair together since you guys are the main hosts." Chef sarcastically said.
Outside of The Louvre
All 36 contestants were shown outside the Louvre with Chris and Blaineley holding note cards. "We're just going to give the highlights."
"We're seriously back here in Paris? I find it so funny that the show is already using the same location again." Heather mocked Chris and Blaineley.
"It's kind of annoying as well. Is the show lacking a budget Sheila?" Jasmine asked.
"This is the city of love, France, priceless art, Yada. Gosh why is this place so boring?" Chris asked out loud.
Jen rolled her eyes at Chris for what he was saying, "I can't believe you aren't talking about how beautiful this place is, the fashion, the art design they put into their buildings. I love that we get to visit this place again." Jen said.
Lindsay, who was attached to Tyler, was also excited, "I'm so excited. I get to spend this awesome, amazing, day with Tyler, I never want to be apart, and I hope we can go shopping!"
Chris put a hand on Lindsay's lip to shush her, "We can't do shopping. That's not the challenge."
"Awe man, this place is too great to not shop." Jen complained.
"Suck it up Jen. You already had a shopping challenge in New York." Blaineley told Jen.
Jen just sighed, resigned to her fate, "Fine. I'll just wear these sunglasses I bought from Germany." Jen said as she put them on and they were a brighter version of her sunglasses from before.
"How did you get those sunglasses? They look so cute." Katie said, smiling.
"I bought it during the dance challenge after I lost. It was on the other end of the building we were by." Jen said as she then put the sunglasses on.
At that moment Trent, who was next to Jen saw her with the sunglasses and looked as infatuated as can be. He didn't know what made this switch, but he viewed Jen in a different light. "Has Jen always looked that beautiful?" Trent asked Justin.
"I don't know. I've never noticed." Justin said as he shrugged his shoulders.
"Listen kiddos, the challenge starts in five minutes in the Love." Chris said, as he misspoke the location.
"Chris it's the Louvre." Courtney said fact checking Chris.
"Ha, Chris is an absolute idiot and an illiterate buffoon." Scott said pointing at Chris,
"Whatever, just get in the building already!" Chris impatiently said.
The Louvre Entrance
Now all of the contestants were inside The Louvre as Chef was lugging around a giant box. "Okay, it's time for the challenge to begin. Each team gets their very own famous sculpture. Team Victory you guys get the 'Thinker'. Chris said as he handed Harold a picture of the Thinker.
"Oh boy, the thinker! This is perfect guys, it represents me, and I know how this was built. I can even do the pose." Harold said, trying to do the same pose as The Thinker only to fall on the ground. "Gosh!"
"Yeah, how pathetic. Team Style, you get the Venus De Milo." Blaineley said, handing the picture over to Alejandro.
"Ah Venus, such beauty. I mean that has nothing on me." Alejandro gloated.
"Oh, just shut up already." Jo said in annoyance.
"Calm down lover boy. Team Amazon you guys get the Statue of David." Chris said as he handed out the last picture to Scott and Courtney.
Scott however instantly recoiled in disgust, "Ew. Do we really have to get a statue of a naked man? You can see the man's you know." Scott said, looking away.
"Oh my gosh, you are such a baby. Toughen up, it's not even a big penis." Courtney said.
"It's still a penis, and I am not touching that thing." Scott protested.
"Is Courtney allowed to say that on air?" Topher asked.
"Show will bleep the word out if need be." Blaineley explained, "Anyways. Here's how this works, it's up to each team to find the pieces of their statue scattered all around The Louvre."
"Oh, that shouldn't be a challenge. As I am great at reading brochure maps, I think I will lead the team today." Courtney boasted.
"Did you not even hear Blaineley you nitwit. The statues are in pieces. First team to find their pieces, race to the Pyramid court and reassemble their statue wins First Class, last place sends another person home" Chris further explained.
"Wait, this challenge makes no logistical sense now that I think about it. The Thinker isn't in The Louvre and The Statue of David isn't even in France entirely." Harold explained.
"Ha, as if we would actually use the actual statues, those are priceless, and we already have Lindsay who was arrested here so we are on extra high watch." Blaineley explained, as Lindsay rolled her eyes at being remembered for that embarrassing moment.
"Makes sense, those statues are absolutely timeless." Topher exclaimed.
Anne Maria, who was right next to him, put herself closer to Topher to flirt with him after what he just said, "Like me, Tophy?"
"Of course." Topher said haphazardly.
"Chef made some fake ones, right?" Chris asked, as Chef had a sudden realization and ran off screen. "That's coming out of your paycheck! Ooh I forgot the other big twist!"
"Is it another double elimination or teams voting one person out bullshit?" Duncan asked.
"Nah, nothing to do with eliminations. Instead, here's some motivation." Chris explained as he pressed a button revealing Sasquatch, a bear with a chainsaw, and a baby seal.
"Awe, that baby seal is so adorable." Lindsay said.
"Why the baby seal? I get the bear, and yeti, but the baby seal seems out of place." Damien asked.
"Wait, isn't that the baby seal, that Chase bleh, and Courtney almost ran over in the Yukon?" Emma asked.
"Oh dudes, that is awesome." Brody said walking up to the seal, only for it to growl as the seal saw Chase's face on Brody. Brody immediately ran back to his team.
Tyler and Lindsay were shown holding each other in fear. "I'd start running if I were you guys." Chris said. As such each team took off in fear as the yeti was chasing Team Style, the bear was on Team Amazon, and the baby seal was chasing Team Victory.
Animal Chase Team Victory
As each of the animals were chasing the teams, Geoff was next to Brody running from the baby seal, "Wait dudes, it's a baby seal chasing us. That is smaller than all of us." Geoff said.
Jasmine all of a sudden had an idea pop in her head, "Ezekiel, you and Bridgette are the best with animals. Calm that psycho seal down mates. We'll handle the rest of the challenge."
"On it!" Bridgette called back as the rest of the team took off even as Geoff wanted to spend more time with Bridgette.
"Hey there, little buddy." Ezekiel said, trying to calm the seal down. "Brody isn't here eh." Ezekiel said.
"Heh, this is actually kind of funny." Bridgette said as the baby seal was now on Ezekiel's shoulder purring like a cat.
"Come on eh. Let's keep this seal occupied." Ezekiel said as he and Bridgette walked in a different direction from their team.
"Yep, we don't want Brody near that thing." Bridgette joked.
Animal Chase Team Style
Team Style was however not immediately having the same luck as Team Victory, "I don't want to be turned into Yeti food." Owen called out in fear.
"I've got an idea guys, this totally works on my dog." Noah said as he looked like he was pulling something out of his pocket, only for there to be nothing, "Who wants the ball? Who wants it, you want it don't you. Well go get it." Noah called out playing fetch with the yeti and getting it chased off.
"Okay, that's impressive." Julia said.
"Agreed we have to head onwards. But we should split into groups. Owen, Jo, Noah, Sky and I are a group. Bowie, Justin and Julia you guys are a group, which leaves Trent, Jen, and Duncan as a group." Alejandro declared.
"But wait shouldn't we have a-" Julia began to say.
"I don't care now let's move." Alejandro told Julia as his group took off, even if none of them were excited to be with Alejandro.
"Wait, who was I left with?" Julia asked as she turned and saw Bowie and Justin glare at her. "Oh great." Julia sarcastically said.
"Trust me, neither of us are thrilled either." Bowie stated.
Team Amazon Animal Chase
"Come on guys, there is no way we are losing this challenge. I want to beat both teams." Heather called out with a handful of pieces in her hands.
"I think we would be better off splitting up in groups." Courtney suggested.
"Fine, but none of you, Scott, or Gwen are in a group together." Heather demanded.
Courtney was going to protest, before looking over at Sierra, and an idea popped up in her mind, "Fine but you are with Sierra." Courtney said.
Heather winced at the sight of Sierra, but decided this was not worth arguing. "Fine, my group is myself, Emma, Scott, Cody, Kitty, and Sierra. Fine with you?" Heather asked.
"That is fine with me." Courtney said.
"Wait since I am involved with this, I should have a say and my group is me, Mickey, Zoey, Ella, and Katie." Gwen said as everyone mentioned walked over to her.
"Wait, then who am I left with?" Courtney asked. The camera panned over to Topher and Anne Maria walking hand in hand as Courtney's face fell, "Great." she sarcastically said.
As both Courtney and Gwen's group went their separate ways, Heather's group was left as Sierra was shown crying on the floor. "I hate this, I hate this!" Sierra screamed out.
Cody and Kitty both approached her awkwardly, "You, okay?" Kitty asked. But before Sierra could respond the bear was shown with his chainsaw making both Cody and Kitty scream in fear.
Majority of Team Victory
As most of Team Victory sans Bridgette and Ezekiel were walking, Lindsay, Brody, and Geoff had the majority of the pieces "Hey guys. Can someone help me?" Lindsay asked.
"Got it babe." Tyler said, taking some of the pieces off of Lindsay.
"I am so excited after the challenge, as I hope we go shopping afterwards. I love the exclusive striped boxes that only come from Paris." Lindsay giggled. "Maybe Jen and I can have a shop off again."
As the team was walking, Geoff noticed something that caught his eye, "Ooh, an Egypt exhibit. Are you thinking what I'm thinking, Brody?"
"Yeah dude, we'll be right back guys." Brody said as he and Geoff took off throwing their pieces into the air.
"Oh no!" Damien, Millie, and Jasmine yelled out, as all three of them were now frantically grabbing all the pieces. Luckily for them, they managed to grab every piece. However, all of them were pretty angry.
"They are being absolute idiots right now, mates." Jasmine said.
"Let them be idiots." Millie sighed.
Seal Duo of Team Victory
In another part of the Louvre Bridgette and Ezekiel were walking around as the seal was still acting like a cat and purred. "Awe, that is just so adorable." Bridgette said.
"Hey since it's the two of us, can I talk to you about something that's bugging me, eh." Ezekiel asked.
"Um sure, hope you remember that I don't look at you romantically at all. Even if getting a vicious baby seal to calm down is neat. I plan on staying with Geoff once this crazy season is done." Bridgette told Ezekiel.
Ezekiel however didn't flinch or look disappointed, he still had a stoic face, "That's it actually. I want to apologize, eh. I kind of look back at how I acted during Season 1 and I don't like it that much, eh. I kind of am trying to correct my past mistakes eh. I think that's the phrase I'm looking for."
"Wait, is this a ploy for you to get with me?" Bridgette asked as she saw Ezekiel's face fall in disappointment. "Oh, you are being genuine?"
"Yes. I am. I just want to be Harold's friend. I want him to see I'm a good enough person to be his friend, and that I am not the same sexist pig during Season 1?" Ezekiel explained.
"Why do you care so much about being Harold's friend?" Bridgette asked.
"I don't know. I don't know." Ezekiel said as the camera flashed away.
Team Style Group #1
Justin, Bowie, and Julia were shown holding a few pieces each as Julia rolled her eyes.
Confessional- Julia
"Look, my plan since getting rid of Brick, was to get myself, Sky, Noah, Owen, Jo, and Alejandro all together and to take out at least one of Justin or Trent. Heck maybe even Duncan, either way. Why not Bowie? Well, I want him to suffer before I take him out. But Alejandro for some dumbass reason put me with Justin and Bowie. Two people I can't stand. I was going to tell Sky and Noah about this plan, but I couldn't. Good news is that I can still torment Justin and Bowie."
Back To Present
As Justin, Bowie, and Julia were walking. Julia decided to act a little more fake, "Oh my gosh. The Louvre is so beautiful. Like oh my gosh. The Moana Lisa." Julia said. "I meant Mona."
"Yeah Julia, cut the crap, we both know you are faking trying to be interested in the place." Bowie said.
"Whatever could you be talking about?" Julia said, faking ignorance.
"Julia, all 3 of us know that no one told you about targeting Brick. So how in the world did you, Sky, and Noah, all vote him out?" Justin asked.
"Oh, come on, we know that Brick was the weakest link on the team." Julia said, as she was lying through her teeth.
"Oh, that's bullshit." Bowie said, instantly telling she was lying. "We all know that Noah is the weakest link."
"I agree with Bowie. Come on Julia, we both know that you're smarter and more conniving than that." Justin said.
"Aw thank you Justin, you finally have a brain beyond your mirror. It's just focused on spending time with your boyfriend. I'm smart, but I am not as vicious as you think I am." Julia stated.
"You're nasty. Trust me, Justin and I have you pegged down to a tee. Right, Justin?" Bowie asked as he saw Justin was in a silent trance. "What's wrong?"
"I think my overall point has been proven." Julia confidently said as she picked up another piece of the Statue and Bowie decided to drag Justin who was still stunned silent.
Confessional- Justin
"I don't look at Bowie as my boyfriend. We would not be compatible at all. But to have both Duncan and now Julia questions my sexuality, it just…. it makes me think, and I don't know what to think."
Heather's Group
Back over with Heather, and her group of Scott, Emma, Kitty, Cody and Sierra. They all were fearful of the bear, as it still had its chainsaw. This had now caused Scott to pass out, as both Kitty and Cody held each other in fear, same with Emma and Heather. However the bear's chainsaw stopped, and it saw Sierra crying.
Heather immediately let go of Emma and turned her head to Cody, "Cody, you got her into this mess. So, you have to get her out of this. Everyone agrees?"
"Yep." Emma quickly said.
"I guess, maybe it'll calm her down." Kitty reasoned, albeit reluctantly.
Cody, seeing Emma and Kitty immediately agree, once again reinforced in his head that they were sisters, but he also had much bigger things to deal with, "There, there." Cody said, trying to reassure Sierra.
"Wah! Wahh! I hate him!" Sierra cried out.
"I just can't take anymore crying, we're doing this challenge without you. Deal with Sierra." Emma sternly said as she and Heather walked away with a passed-out Scott.
"Come on Kitty, leave him behind for now." Heather called out. Kitty didn't want to but decided to listen to Heather and mouthed to Cody that she was sorry.
The bear is shown right over Cody and Sierra, "Sierra snap out of it! We're going to get mauled by a bear, and for me the second time!" Cody yelled out in fear. Luckily for Cody the bear started crying, and in the awkwardness, Cody began to drag Sierra away. The bear pulled a photo booth type picture of it and a previous bear and began crying.
Venus Head
The group of Alejandro, Jo, Sky, Noah, and Owen. Saw the last piece of their statue, but it was behind a security laser wall. "How are we supposed to get the last piece?" Sky asked.
"Is it really the last piece?" Owen asked as everyone nodded in response sans Owen.
"Noah will have to be the one to do it. Owen's girth and my muscled chest won't fit, and I don't feel comfortable letting a lady like Sky get hurt. As for Jo, I don't want you to show off." Alejandro explained.
"I'm more than capable." Sky and Jo said at the same time, before looking at each other weirdly.
"As Team captain. My decision is final." Alejandro said.
Jo was about to say how Alejandro is the team leader in his own head, but before she could say anything, Noah spoke up. "Whatever, I don't care. Let's just get this over with. I know my fake out ball trick won't work on that yeti a second time. So, let's see, maybe if I approach it this way." Noah said until his finger touched a laser. "Ow! Fuck!" Noah yelled out.
In a nearby camera room, Chris, Blaineley, and Chef, as Chris laughed at Noah's predicament "Things have taken a shocking turn." Chris said. "Perhaps even electrifying."
Blaineley and Chef both just groaned at Chris's pun, "That was bad." Blaineley said with her head in her face.
"Was that cheesy?" Chris asked.
"Yep." Chef stated, looking away.
"We'll be right back." Chris said facing the camera.
Commercial Break
Right Before Musical Number
After the commercial break, the show picked up on Sierra and Cody as Cody was trying to talk to Sierra while Sierra was covering her ears. "Look Sierra, I voted for you because I couldn't keep pretending to be okay with how you obsess over me, or how you treat Mickey and Kitty. They are my best friends. Wait, that came out wrong. Okay forget it. Forget the apology. Yes, I am friends with Kitty and Mickey, but it shouldn't matter, and you shouldn't be jealous." Cody then had his eyes widened in horror "Oh that's worse. What do you want, Sierra?!" Cody yelled out.
"Lah Lah Lah, is some jerk talking. Lah lah." Sierra said as she continued to frustrate Cody.
Chris and Blaineley walked up to Cody and Sierra, as Chris decided to be in a fake happy tone, "Hi my name is Chris, and that's Blaineley we're the hosts of Total Drama World Race."
"Did you know that you're on it right now and are supposed to be doing the challenge right now." Blaineley further mocked.
"Sierra's mad at me." Cody said, looking down.
"I don't give a damn." Chris said.
"For my mental health, I have to get Sierra to stop crying." Cody explained.
"You are so pathetic." Blaineley stated.
All of a sudden, the musical bell dinged, as the camera panned out to show that Heather, Emma, Kitty, and a still passed out Scott were still relatively close to where Cody and Sierra were. "You have got to be kidding me." Heather complained.
"Time to sing! But we want this to be mainly about Sierra and Cody." Chris announced.
"This has been Good TV, so what better way than having a song for it." Blaineley explained.
"No please. I have enough crap to deal with." Cody begged.
"I'll sing for Chris." Sierra stated.
Musical Number
"I love Paris in the springtime." Sierra sang as she appeared in a picture.
"I would spend more than a dime." Topher sang with his group of himself, Courtney and Anne Maria offering support as he looked at a picture.
"Je t'aime Paris in the fall." Sierra sang in another painting
"That's great, Sierra, keep going!" Cody said looking at the pictures.
"It's the city of love in the summer, but now it's just a bummer because Cody broke my heart, chewed it up, spit it out, stepped on it, and called it names and laughed." Sierra sang as she tore parts of a painting of Cody off the wall.
"Was that a painting of me?" Cody asked, walking up to it.
"Oui my friends, you must never trust a boy, oui my friends they will treat you like a toy, they will Oh, break your heart, chew it up, spit it out, throw it down the sewers, call it names and then laugh." Sierra sang as she took a hammer to a statue of Cody's face, removed the face and threw it like a shot put across the building.
"I never did those things." Cody said, trying to catch up to Sierra.
"Cody, duck!" Kitty called out.
Cody does so as Mickey and Zoey who saw the scene from afar with their group cringe, "Sierra just sucks." Zoey sang. Mickey then got hit by the piece and knocked out cold.
"Why is there a bunch of stuff that looks like Cody here in this museum." Gwen asked.
Over with Team Style and Alejandro's group specifically a few of them decided to partake in the musical number. "Oui my friend, you are going to make it through." Sky sang.
"No, my friend, that thing had already burned off my shoe." Noah sang as the laser went through his pants right underneath his crotch. Sky and Owen winced at the sight.
"All I did was love him true and better than two fools." Sierra sang sadly as Cody approached her.
"Oh, that is not cool." Kitty sang, rolling her eyes.
"Cody what are you doing?!" Heather yelled out.
"I'm trying to get this situation under control!" Cody yelled back.
"Oui my friends, now I am stuck telling you. If you fall in love with a boy on TV. Then audition to get on his show, and then audition again, and then finally get on his show, and be nothing but nice to him you will still-" Sierra sang as she held a picture of Cody.
"She has to be kidding me." Kitty angrily said.
"Oui, we end up in Paris! Oui le feeling disparaît! And this boy won't even take you outside." Sierra sang as she closed out the number, angrily at Cody.
"All she wants to do Cody is to go outside?" Heather asked in disbelief, "Do it now!" Heather yelled.
"Okay, she didn't tell me about it, let's go Sierra." Cody said, offering his hand which Sierra rejected as Sierra walked away, Cody sighed in annoyance just wanting to get this done as soon as possible.
Smaller Groups of Team Amazon and Team Style
After the song, the show flashed over to Duncan, Trent, and Jen with Trent and Jen looking at the Wedding of Cane artwork, "This is so beautiful." Jen awed,
Duncan however wasn't having as great of a time, "How did I end up with a group like this with no pieces?" Duncan wondered out loud.
All of a sudden, Courtney walked up to him, but without her group "Hey Dunkey." Courtney said,
"What's up princess, weren't you with that big tan girl, and the pretty boy on your team earlier?" Duncan asked.
"I was, but they spend so much time flirting and kissing, or rather her trying to kiss him, I had to get away from them." Courtney explained.
The scene quickly flashed over to Topher and Anne Maria with Anne Maria on Topher, "The Louvre is like the pinnacle of Paris, besides the Eiffel Tower."
Anne Maria was trying to sound interested but failed to sound convincing, "Fascinating. Look Tophey, do you want to make out?" Anne Maria asked.
"Not now. I am loving this place!" Topher said not catching Anne Maria's drift.
Back with Duncan and Courtney, Courtney enjoyed the moment, "It's nice to just have it be the two of us." Courtney stated.
"Yeah, it's nice, even if this isn't my preferred place to be, look Courtney we need to talk." Duncan said as he looked right into Courtney's eyes.
"Sure, what's wrong Duncan?" Courtney asked.
"I just think we should take a break. You know, continue to not really talk much, keep things the way there are, maybe even after the show." Duncan asked.
Courtney who was listening to Duncan until the last part, "Of course. Once the teams merge, we can spend more time together, regardless." Courtney then saw from afar the pyramid court, "Ooh there's the pyramid court. I'll talk to you later Duncan. My team probably has all their pieces anyway." Courtney said as she took off, leaving Duncan confused.
"That was a disaster" Trent said as the camera panned to him and Jen as she nodded in agreement.
Confessional- Duncan
"That worked out right, she understands?" Duncan said confidently until his eye twitched.
Pyramid Court
At the Pyramid court, everyone on Team Style had made it to the court with all their pieces in hand, with only the group of Jen, Trent, and Duncan not getting anything. "We have all the pieces, and we need to take advantage of this lead we have." Alejandro said.
Team Amazon also had a fair amount of pieces courtesy of Heather, Kitty, and Emma and a passed-out Scott who was still hanging over Heather's shoulders. "Come on ladies, uhh, we don't have all the pieces, but we can at least get some of these pieces together." Heather said.
Courtney walked up to her team, "Wait a minute, we don't have all our pieces?" Courtney then noticed Scott. "Scott! Heather, give him to me. I'll make sure he's okay." Courtney said as in that moment her focus on the challenge went away.
"Should we send one of us back to look around for the last few pieces? Wait, where is Gwen and Zoey's group? Please tell me they didn't have Katie do the directions again." Kitty asked.
"They probably did." Emma sighed in annoyance.
Gwen and Zoey's Group
With Gwen, Katie, Ella, Zoey, and Mickey, they were hopelessly lost still, "That's the third dead end we've reached." Zoey said as she was standing next to Mickey who had the penis piece of the Statue of David
"Katie, do you think it'd be best for someone else to lead us?" Mickey asked as he kept holding the piece up, and unlike Scott, it didn't bug him.
"I just wanted redemption from the last time I was in Paris." Katie explained. "Here, I'll have Ella lead." Katie said, admitting to herself she shouldn't have cost the team valuable time.
"Thanks Katie. You are the best, best friend I could ask for." Ella said.
Katie however also had a small catch with this, "Hey Gwen. Do you have any advantages in the game since you almost won the first season?" Katie asked.
Gwen however quickly picked up on what Katie was implying, "Ella, you told her didn't you?"
"Wait, I'm confused. What's going on?" Mickey asked.
Ella sighed in sadness and felt like at that moment she messed up, "Can everyone keep a secret here?" Ella asked as everyone nodded. "Okay, Gwen and I are actually cousins, on my mom's side of the family."
"Oh my gosh, that is so cool. I am actually jealous. I'm an only child, and neither of my parents ever had any brothers or sisters, so it's a small family for me. Not to mention back in High school I struggled to make any friends. Hence why I signed up for this show." Zoey explained.
"I do want to say, Gwen and I aren't that close, right Gwen?" Ella asked.
"No, we aren't, the most we interacted was you wanting to take my summer job at the petting zoo. Even though all I had to do was clean up crap. Literally!" Gwen explained.
"What?! I love animals." Ella said, defending herself.
"Heh, that's funny. I guess Team Amazon is full of people who know each other and families." Mickey laughed as he then said something that he himself would regret, "I mean someone else on the team told me that Emma and Kitty are sisters."
"Who said that?" Katie asked.
Mickey however quickly realized what he said, and was now frozen in fear, trying to think about how to not reveal that this was Cody's theory, "Oh Chase said it before he left. Told Cody and I during one of his dude talks, about how Emma hated having a sister." Mickey explained.
"That makes sense, but I don't think they are related, and Chase was just an idiot, per usual." Zoey said as she noticed the group was once again lost, "Another dead end? Are you kidding me?"
Confessional- Gwen
"Okay so obviously Mickey is lying and Cody told him the theory, as Emma must have been who he was alluding to back in Brazil about Kitty being related to someone. I don't really care that Mickey lied, but all this could be useful down the road."
Confessional- Mickey
"Dang it, that was a close one. I wasn't supposed to let Cody's theory about Kitty and Emma being related slip out. Now this theory is spreading and it's all my fault. Who even knows if it's true. Hope Cody can forgive me for this one. Sorry buddy."
Pyramid Court
Back at the Pyramid court Team Victory were shown with all their pieces as Sky turned around and noticed that not everyone was with them, "Aren't you guys' missing Bridgette, Ezekiel, Brody and Geoff?"
"Brady and George are in Egypt." Lindsay explained.
"Uh, what?" Sky asked.
"Brody and Geoff are in an Egypt Exhibit." Damien said. "Oh, and Bridgette along with Ezekiel are calming the baby seal down."
"Awe, that's neat." Sky said.
Egypt Exhibit
Geoff and Brody saw at the Egypt exhibit a mummified dog, "Dude this is so cool. I'm keeping this as a souvenir dude." Geoff said as he took it off the stand.
"Totally dude, and once we lose eventually and get rid of Damien, this team will be at peak happy vibes bro." Brody explained, as he still wanted to target Damien as soon as possible.
"Dude, I agree, let's get this to the team and show this." Geoff said as he and Brody got on a golf cart to get back to their team. The cart was driving through the museum as Geoff and Brody passed by Bridgette and Ezekiel "Love ya babe." Geoff called out.
However, the seal who was calmed down, instantly grew irate and leapt off of Ezekiel's shoulder and landed on Brody's head thinking he was Chase, "Ow dudes. Ow this hurts. I can't see." Brody yelled out.
"Sealo! Come back!" Ezekiel yelled out as he and Bridgette began chasing after Geoff and Brody.
"What did Geoff get himself into?" Bridgette asked, as she ran.
Meanwhile the yeti who was looking at a painting of sunflowers and flowers when all of a sudden, "Look out dudes!" Geoff called out as the Yeti didn't see it coming when Geoff and Brody ran the Yeti over with the cart, causing his head to get stuck in a vase.
"We have to keep up with them, they're going to head straight for the pyramid court." Bridgette yelled as she and Ezekiel tried to keep up with both the cart and now the yeti.
"This is bad, eh." Ezekiel said.
Pyramid Court
Back at the Pyramid court Tyler, Harold, Lindsay and Damien were the ones primarily working on their statue even as Tyler's advice wasn't the best, ""Put the middle piece under the wide part, and then you should rotate it straight wise, and then go under." Tyler suggested as Harold was struggling with the piece he was lifting.
"Dude those aren't even words!" Harold yelled out in anger.
"I understand Tyler just fine." Lindsay stated.
"Ugh, let me help Harold." Damien said as he helped Harold put a piece in place. "Tyler, Lindsay just offers moral support." Damien asked.
"Ugh fine, I have the best finger strength here and yet I am just a cheerleader." Tyler complained.
"Aw but I like being a cheerleader, Tyler. I think I even packed my cheerleading outfit from back home." Lindsay said.
The scene then went to Team Style as Owen was shown walking around and noticed a painting with food on it, "Ooh that looks delicious." Owen said.
"Please tell me you aren't-" Jo said but didn't finish as Owen ate a part of the painting.
"It tastes like acrylic. Yummy." Owen said.
"We're going to a hospital since you just ate that stuff." Jo said as she and a guilty looking Owen walked away as they soon passed by Jen, Trent, and Duncan who were heading to the pyramid court.
"Owen ate a painting, didn't he?" Duncan asked.
"Yep. Can you guys let the team know that Owen and I will be at the hospital, making sure Owen doesn't get sick." Jo asked. "Also, that we don't get detained."
Right Outside The Louvre
Right out of The Louvre, Sierra and Cody were shown sitting on a table "date", however neither were happy. "Isn't this romantic? Great view, and I got all your favorite foods. I mean they were my favorite foods, but I saw you lick them off my plate. I still maintain that it's disgusting to lick another person's plate clean." Cody said before popping a cork and it hits Sierra in the head, while she doesn't flinch. "Oops sorry."
"I don't even know why you're trying to do this. This isn't fun because you are only doing this because you feel like you have too." Sierra told Cody.
Cody grew frustrated and at this point had finally snapped, "Of course I have to, I have voted for you time and time again and now you decided to act like a child? I'm just trying to make it, so you stop pouting." Cody said angrily back.
"I'm not acting like a child. It's just nice for you to finally give me some attention instead of having you all snuggled up with Kitty and Mickey. They don't know you like I do." Sierra said defensively. "Homewreckers."
"How dare you. It's none of your business who I do and don't hang out with. You want me to all yourself and only know me on a surface level. Kitty and Mickey at least know when to give me space." Cody yelled back.
Sierra sighed in annoyance, "Ugh you are so dramatic. Man playing hard to get is not working like I thought it would." Sierra said, as she was annoyed that instead of Cody actually falling for her, he was yelling at her.
"Wait, you are just playing hard to get and aren't genuinely upset?" Cody asked. "Come with me."
"Why?" Sierra asked, confused why Cody seemed to have a sinister angry side within him.
"We're telling the team and either you tell them you have been faking this whole thing today, or I tell them." Cody said as he grabbed Sierra.
"I don't want to." Sierra pleaded.
"You don't get a say with what I want to do, not this time." Cody said as he started dragging Sierra back into The Louvre as the Eiffel Tower backdrop, they were behind fell to the ground.
Pyramid Court
Back at the Pyramid court, Noah was building Team Style's statue, "Looking good." Noah said as he put an arm on the statue of Venus.
"Uh Noah, you have too many limbs and muscles." Alejandro said before laughing, "Are you trying to compensate for something?" Alejandro asked.
"Oh, piss off." Noah said.
Sky however stepped in between both of them, "I want to win this challenge without any drama. Please guys?" Sky asked. "Alejandro, can you and Julia build the statue? I need to talk to Noah." Sky asked as she dragged Noah by the ear.
"Ow, ow, what the hell. What was that for?" Noah asked.
"Okay, first of all calm down. Why do you let Alejandro get under your skin? You know he does that to get under your skin." Sky asked.
"I guess it's just an inferiority thing." Noah said.
"Inferiority? What do you mean?" Sky once again asked. She was more confused after what Noah said.
"I'm the smallest guy on the team, so at times it feels like I have to compensate for that with my smarts and I am smart. So, when I get the Statue wrong, and then you have Alejandro has to be an asshole about it. Yeah, I'm going to be pissed." Noah explained.
"Look everyone, has their strengths and weaknesses. Noah you will be just fine. Trust me." Sky said as Noah had a slight smile and blush on his face in embarrassment.
Confessional- Noah
"It's odd for a girl as pretty as Sky to defend someone like me and give me a pep talk." Noah then paused and realized what he said and decided to course correct. "I meant to say pretty boring."
Golf Cart
Unfortunately for Team Victory specifically Geoff and Brody as by this point Bigfoot was chasing them and the baby seal was still biting on Brody's head as Geoff was desperately trying to steer the cart, "You know for being called Bigfoot its big feet doesn't slow it down." Geoff said.
Brody had managed to get the baby seal off his head as it was growing and trying to bite him. "Heh yeah dude. Oh no, Geoff look out!" Brody yelled in fear as Geoff was driving erratically.
Unfortunately for Geoff, he didn't see the bear in front of them and ran over the bear's foot as the bear and Yeti collided with each other and chased after Geoff and Brody. "Sorry dudes!" Was all Geoff could call out as he was now fearful for his life in general.
Bridgette and Ezekiel were still also running after Geoff and Brody, "Geoff is in so much trouble for doing this." Bridgette yelled out as Ezekiel had a look of fear on his face.
Confessional- Ezekiel
"I've seen Bridgette get mad eh. Mainly with Geoff's whole ego trip. But this made her even more mad than that eh. Geoff messed up eh."
Pyramid Court/End of Challenge
Heather was shown putting the pieces, but it was shown to collapse, "Ugh you have got to be kidding me, we have every piece but the penis one." Heather yelled out in anger.
"Where is Gwen's group, they should be here by now?" Kitty said, looking around.
Over at Team Victory Lindsay's head popped up as all was missing for the statue of David was the head, "Guys isn't this awesome we are about to win another challenge?"
"Yep, here's the head." Millie said until she heard something behind her, "What is that sound?"
"LOOSE GOLF CART!" Damien yelled out in sheer terror.
"Take cover!" Millie yelled out.
The golf cart that Geoff and Brody were driving now was heading for the pyramid court as the baby seal was kicking Brody in the unmentionables, while the bear and yeti took turns punching both of them in the face, "Ow, dudes." Brody said in pain until he saw something from afar that terrified him and even the bear flinched when he saw what was up ahead.
Brody and indirectly the bear ended up steering the golf cart off center a bit, so luckily for Team Victory, their statue was going to remain intact, but instead it was heading for Team Amazon's instead. "Uh guys." Kitty said in fear.
"What, I am trying to cram this together, so we don't need the penis." Heather then turned and saw the golf cart heading straight for her "Oh shit. Take cover!" Heather yelled out as she, Kitty, and Emma ran away as the gold cart crashed into their statue destroying the fake pieces.
"No!" Emma and Kitty yelled out in agony seeing their progress destroyed.
Brody and Geoff were now in a pile of broken statue pieces, and three passed out and ticked off animals, "Did we win?" Brody asked as the dog statue fell and hit him on the head knocking him out cold.
Millie put the head on the Thinker at that same moment, "We sure did win." Millie cheered out. However, at the same time it showed Team Style with Venus De Milo and their statue was also done at the same time.
Chris and Blaineley knew what this meant, and both were excited, "It's a tie between Team Victory and Team Style." Blaineley called out.
"Does that mean both of us get First Class?" Bowie asked.
"Nope, only one team gets it and since this is the fashion capital of the world. It's time for a walk off." Blaineley announced.
"Well at least Owen's not here, he hates walking, and it shows." Alejandro said as Noah glared at him.
"One person per team will be the designer and they pick the model, for Team Victory the designer is Lindsay." Chris said.
"Ooh I pick Tyler; Tyler is my pick!" Lindsay said in excitement, holding tightly to Tyler.
"Shocker." Chris deadpanned.
"I really hope she learned her lesson from Rio." Damien said as he whispered into Millie's ear.
"For Team Style, the designer is Bowie. Who do you pick?" Chris asked.
"I will have Julia as the model." Bowie said as confidently glared at Julia.
"What?!" Julia asked in shock.
"Yeah, I second that, what?" Chris asked.
Confessional- Bowie
"This is payback for ruining Justin's mood. Yes, I am petty. Time for Julia to have a little humble pie."
Back To Scene
"Both designers have to come up with a design for their models to wear, then myself, Blaineley, and one person from the losing team in which case it will be Ella. As soon as she gets here, we will judge. Best design wins for their team." Chris announced.
Not too far from them was Bridgette who was helping Geoff out of the wreckage that was the golf cart. "It's great that we still have a chance to win right babe." Geoff said as he got out of the pile up.
"Yeah, but what the heck were you thinking?" Bridgette asked. "Had Brody not steered right into Team Amazon's statue we probably would have lost."
"But we didn't. That's what matters, right?" Geoff asked.
Bridgette however saw from afar what had made Brody crash right into the Statue, "Yeah Geoff. Turn around, Cody is pissed." Bridgette said.
Geoff however was stunned at what Bridgette said as Cody was one of the quieter members during the aftermath and when he did talk, he was a mediator for any drama, "Cody can't get pissed. He is a totally chill dude… and yeah he's pissed." Geoff said as he turned his head.
Cody had an absolute glare on his face as he was dragging Sierra back with Sierra trying to slow Cody down by dragging her feet onto the ground. "I thought you were trying to fix her?" Heather asked angrily. "Oh, and by the way, we lost."
"Oh, that's just great. Look, I don't care. Sierra, do you want to tell them what you said or am I?" Cody asked as he was met with pure silence. "Okay then, Sierra told me outside that this whole crying thing she was doing was playing hard to get."
At this point both Gwen's group, and Topher along with Anne Maria had finally made their way to the pyramid court. "What's going on, toothpick Cody looks angry." Anne Maria asked.
"He is angry, that's for sure." Topher noted.
"Oh no Cody." Mickey said, as he looked scared for his best friend.
"Furthermore, she is trying to do this whole hard to get stuff so she can date me." Cody further said as everyone on Team Amazon was shocked at this revelation.
Scott came to and walked up with Courtney to the scene, "Wait is this whole thing true, Sierra?"
"Yeah, it is, but I only had good intentions for this whole thing. Cody should know that I'm, I'm the one he should be with." Sierra said sadly.
"Oh my gosh Sierra, put a fucking sock in it already!" Cody said as he swore at Sierra. This made even Sierra stop crying. "Today has sucked, and do you wanna know why it sucked? It's because of you." Cody began to say until Sierra interrupted him.
"All I wanted to do was to have your attention and for you to date me, there's nothing wrong with that." Sierra defensively said.
"The way you do it is horrible though and makes me uncomfortable as you never take my feelings into account. You are never subtle about it, at least people like Kitty and Mickey get to know me without touching my hair, smelling my things, using my own toothbrushes without asking, ooh or how about wanting to see my dick in The Amazon. Oh, and there's also the foot rubs I never asked for." Cody said as was growing angrier.
Sierra however didn't seem to notice as she gave her thoughts on Kitty and Mickey in front of everyone, "Kitty is a homewrecking little slut who doesn't know the real you, and Mickey is a sinner, who is trying to force himself onto you Cody, with his lifestyle." Sierra yelled out in a fit of anger. However, this made everyone in The Louvre be in an absolute state of silence.
Cody however wasn't silent, and he then said something he was both proud of and regretted, "Fuck off Sierra. Fuck off for saying that about my two best friends. You assume the worst in people who want to know me, as if you own me. Newsflash I'm my own person. Also, you know nothing about Kitty and Mickey to be saying such things. As a matter of a fact, I love Kitty and I would date her over you Sierra any day of the week, and Mickey is the greatest best friend I could have ever wanted." Cody yelled, until he realized he confessed his feelings about Kitty out loud. "If anyone needs me, I'll be in the plane. Vote for her or me, I don't care." Cody finally said as he stormed off. "I am so fucking done with this show!" Cody yelled off screen.
"Okay." Chris said awkwardly at what just transpired. "Let's get the Tiebreaker started."
"I can't believe everything that was said." Zoey said as she looked at Mickey to see his reaction.
Mickey had a pure neutral face at what transpired, "Neither can I."
Confessional- Gwen
"Okay I knew that Cody had some built-up anger for Sierra and that it was bad. Didn't realize it was that bad though. Now I kind of regret not just sending Sierra home last time."
Confessional- Kitty
"I don't even know what to think. Yes, Cody likes me, but something feels off about this whole thing. That being said, Sierra can go to hell for all I care since she called me a slut."
Backstage Team Victory
Lindsay and Tyler were shown working on Tyler's design as Tyler was left less than impressed, "No. Just no" Tyler said as they went through two rather mediocre hair designs.
"Tyler, what's wrong, I could use some support." Lindsay asked.
"Look Linds, I am glad you are having fun, but I want to win this challenge for the team and turn this into a perfect day. But if the guys on my sports teams see this, oh my gosh I will be so embarrassed." Tyler said.
"Aren't there only like 10 other guys on your team, and one of them is missing a brain?" Lindsay asked.
"They're missing a tooth." Tyler flatly stated.
"Look, let's focus on hair later, next up is wardrobe. How is this for a design?" Lindsay asked as it showed a girl with a lollipop and balloons.
"We will need a miracle, won't we?" Tyler said annoyed.
Backstage Team Style
Meanwhile Bowie and Julia were also working on their design or more, so Bowie was. "What are you planning?" Julia asked.
"Don't worry about it." Bowie said as he kept drawing.
"I just don't want anything too girly and cute as that is so out of pocket nowadays." Julia stated before grabbing the sketchbook, "What the hell is this?"
"Just trust me with it. Especially the hair. You'll be amazing." Bowie said in a condescending tone. "Otherwise, don't mess with my friends."
Runway/Tiebreaker
"First on stage will be Tyler with the design courtesy of one Lindsay!" Chris announced as everyone was in the audience including Jo and Owen who had both made it back from the hospital.
Tyler had his head out the curtain but was clearly nervous "Oh boy. I can do this. I can do this." Tyler said as he stepped out on stage as his design was very uneven and confusing as he held a portrait over his head.
"Yeah, Tyler we got this!" Lindsay called out.
As Tyler kept walking Noah and Sky saw the design and both started laughing profusely, "Oh my gosh this is too funny." Noah said, trying to get a hold of himself.
Tyler glared at both of them, but unfortunately, he wasn't looking where he was going and walked right off the runway onto the ground. "Ow damn it that hurts." Tyler called out.
Damien helped Tyler get to his feet, "You okay buddy?" Damien asked.
"My ankle is screwed up and probably bruised." Tyler said as he touched his ankle and yelped out in pain. "Yep, definitely bruised, but Sierra is gone tonight so I am still happy even if we lose."
Damien and Tyler walked off to get Tyler some medical help, "What do you mean by that?" Damien asked.
"Sierra made many anti Tyler blogs in between the first two seasons. It's why out of the whole original cast I am apparently the least popular. Even people like Katie and Ezekiel get more attention than me. It's why everything I've done this season was to get more popular with the fans. Well, except for dating Lindsay." Tyler explained.
Back on the runway, "Next up is Julia with a design from Bowie and oh gosh!" Chris said before nearly gagging
"Can you guys even show that on air?" Katie asked in horror.
Julia walked up and revealed Bowie had designed her hair into a mullet as she quickly walked up and walked backstage, "Bowie you are so dead!" Julia yelled.
"I am pretty sure I am never going to recover from seeing such a fashion disaster." Jen said as she looked away and fell into Trent's arms "Cover my eyes please!"
"Payback is a bitch, Julia." Bowie said standing on the end of the runway as he and Julia glared at each other.
"Okay? I'll start. Bowies was basic but it at least didn't have water lilies. I mean I've worn them, but I don't like them." Chris said laughing near the end.
"Agreed my vote is for Team Style. Even if Julia should never try to make a mullet happen ever again." Blaineley added.
"I just can't in good faith vote for something with a mullet, I am voting for Lindsay and Tyler." Ella sadly said.
"That leaves it up to me, so I am going to go with Team Style as the mullet was at least creative. So, Team Style is back in First Class, their first time since the Yukon. Congratulations!" Chris announced.
"I lost, I couldn't have. No!" Lindsay yelled out.
"It's okay Lindsay." Millie said, comforting her.
"Why can't I get this right?! Tyler said he liked it." Lindsay reasoned, "What am I even good at?" Lindsay cried out.
Elimination Ceremony
Blaineley was standing at the podium. "Team Amazon, 14 of you will officially become 13. Although judging by the atmosphere, this elimination should be an obvious one."
Confessional- Cody
"Fourth time's the charm. I wouldn't mind if it was me leaving tonight though."
Confessional- Sierra
"I don't regret anything. This vote is just a final message to Cody."
Back To Scene
Team Amazon had voted and there were now only two marshmallows left on the plate with Kitty, Mickey, and Sierra looking at it. "In a not so shocking twist, the last two marshmallows go to Mickey and Kitty." Blaineley announced.
"Yes!" Mickey cheered out as Sierra glared at him.
"Sierra, you have been eliminated from Total Drama World Race. Any final words?" Blaineley asked.
"Cody all I wanted was to be your girlfriend. But deep down, I know I am not the one for you. But I also don't think you know." Sierra said, grabbing her parachute and jumped out of the plane screaming in fear as many people were left confused at what Sierra said at the end.
"What did Sierra mean by that?" Topher asked.
"I have no idea." Cody said in bewilderment. As Team Amazon was heading to Economy class, Cody also walked up to Kitty. "Hey Kitty, do you, uh want to talk about today?"
"Not now, Cody. Maybe in the morning." Kitty said, walking away with a frown on her face.
Cody then walked over to Mickey, and before Cody could say anything Mickey responded, "Maybe some other time." Cody was left stunned and alone in the elimination room and at that moment he wanted to stay there as he felt even more confused than ever.
Confessional- Scott
"Not going to lie, it would be tempting to vote out Heather, but Sierra wasn't worth saving at this point. But her final words were just odd."
Confessional- Mickey
"Today has been one of the worst days for me, even worse than when I fell down a flight of stairs going up. I exposed Cody's theory about Kitty and Emma being related. I should feel thrilled about Sierra leaving tonight. She was a pain in the butt, yet I just feel empty. I wonder if Sierra figured out one of my secrets I have been keeping under wraps since the beginning. Too bad I can't ask that, since we'll she's gone."
Confessional- Cody
"I am just exhausted today. Yes, Sierra's out, but at what cost. I outed my crush on Kitty due to my own stupidity. Worse yet both she and Mickey are now not really wanting to talk to me."
Episode Closing
"Chris' #1 fan takes the plunge leaving us with 35." Blaineley announced.
"Where will we go next time?" Chris asked.
"What will the aftermath be from Cody's revelation about him outing his crush on Kitty? What is Mickey hiding? Will Duncan figure out he is still together with Courtney from her side? Will Julia enact her revenge? Will Bridgette break away from Geoff? Will Lindsay get over her horrible sense in fashion? Most importantly, who is the next sucker falling out of this plane?" Blaineley stated.
"Find out next time on Total Drama World Race!" Chris and Blaineley said together.

Notes:
So, the second Paris Chapter. Also, probably the most controversial episode due to the whole Cody plot with Sierra. Now I did have to have elements of it incorporated. But I'll explain that more in a second.
For Team Victory, this episode was meant to really show how different Geoff and Bridgette view the game, and also continue the joke about Lindsay being bad in fashion. Lastly, I wanted Bridgette to get involved with the Harold and Ezekiel plot.
For Team Style, I wanted another showcase of Jo and Owen's friendship, and the awkward weirdness that is Noah and Sky. Also continue to have Alejandro and Jo bicker with each other. But the main thing was Julia and her plan. This was to show how dysfunctional it is. Also, a little bit more into Justin's character.
Finally, Team Amazon, the Kitty and Emma being related thread is back and that will be important soon. Also have Duncan trying to break up with Courtney and failing. That and Cody outed his crush about Kitty.
Now we move onto the main storyline of this chapter and that is the Sierra and Cody drama, and this also ties into why I decided to eliminate Sierra. So, first of all during the canon episode, I hate this plot since Cody is meant to feel horrible and Sierra is somehow in the right. Also, he gets no support from his team. However, I wanted Cody to push back and for Sierra to realize there is no future with them.
As for why I decided to eliminate Sierra. Straight up, I don't like her that much even in World Tour, as she just makes me feel uncomfortable with how she treats Cody as it feels possessive. When she acts like a superfan and not just obsessing over Cody she is better but that is not that common in World Tour looking back. So, I had Sierra as an earlier boot. I knew I couldn't get rid of her, right away but with what I have planned for Cody I knew she couldn't last too long. So, I still had her Cody obsession which would turn into jealousy towards both Kitty and Mickey. That was her main plot but with what I have with Kitty and Mickey as well, Sierra wouldn't serve much more of a purpose.
So, I wanted the second Paris episode aka one of her most infamous to be her boot. As for how, I just had her reveal to Cody she's playing hard to get and this leads to him exposing her and everyone on the team deciding she isn't worth keeping around, as she was always a target, and she was a consensus boot to keep whatever peace is left on Team Amazon.
Next chapter is Newfoundland where there will be a close vote, some kisses, a giant whale, and a reveal that threatens to ruin one of the duos in this season for good. I promise it will be a good one.
Hope you enjoyed the chapter and stay tuned for the next one.
Chapter 15: Newf Kids On The Block
Summary:
The Top 35 go to Newfoundland, otherwise known as the home country of the host Chris McLean, another unlikely duo is formed. Two headstrong people clash constantly in the challenge, a new romance happens on a different team. One person confesses their motivations for why they joined this season after a triumphant win, and it backfires badly on them. Another contestant is eliminated.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Newf Kids On The Rock
Recap
"Previously on Total Drama World Race, our competitors were exposed to a little culture as a field trip to the Louvre sent them all running around finding the world's most important works of art. While we also had them chased by a yeti, a bear and a pissed off seal." Chris announced.
"Over on Team Victory, Ezekiel and Bridgette helped to calm the baby seal down, only for Geoff and Brody to take an Egypt exhibit and get every animal in the building pissed off at them. Ouch!" Blaineley stated.
"On Team Style, Duncan tried his best to break up with Courtney, but I don't think she got the memo, while Julia revealed her plan after sending Brick home. Only to get stuck with her nemesis Bowie, but she did get in Justin's head. Elsewhere Noah got closer to his new ally Sky." Blaineley explained.
"After the challenge ended in a tie for 1st place. Lindsay and Bowie were forced into a fashion tie breaker, and despite Bowie giving Julia a temporary mullet, Team Style won the challenge." Chris announced.
"Tyler however didn't mind as Team Amazon was a disaster, Katie got her group hopelessly lost due to her as usual poor sense direction. Meanwhile Mickey revealed Cody's theory about Emma and Kitty being sisters, while Gwen told people about Ella being her cousin. Speaking of Cody, he had to spend the whole challenge trying to get Sierra's head back in the game. However, when Sierra accidentally let it slip in front of Cody that she was playing hard to get in order to date him, he snapped." Blaineley told as the show showed footage of all of this.
"That's right Blaineley, Cody told his whole team about this, leading to a huge argument between Sierra and Cody where Sierra called Kitty a slut and Mickey a sinner, which prompted Cody to reveal his crush on Kitty. Spicy! In the end though Sierra got the push off in a unanimous vote due to her actions." Chris stated.
"We are now down to 35 competitors. Another one gets eliminated today, as we dump them in another mystery location, find out right here on Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley said as the camera cut to the theme song.

(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
The episode starts in Economy Class showing each of Courtney, Scott, and Gwen. Gwen was reading a book while Courtney and Scott were wrapping up a conversation, until Courtney looked above as did Gwen. "What is she doing?" Gwen asked as the show panned out to show Heather climbing into the vent.
"Hell, if I know." Courtney stated.
"Maybe Heather has lost her mind, like that crazy girl, what was her name?" Scott asked.
"Izzy." Gwen stated, curious as to why Scott didn't remember Izzy's name at all. "I wouldn't be shocked if she is trying to sneak a peek at Alejandro." Gwen said, chuckling. "She's in love."
"Ew, gross, picturing her black hole of a heart falling in love. It's disgusting." Courtney stated, trying to distract Heather.
"Ouch!" Heather screamed in pain hitting her arm right in the vents entrance. "I am not falling in love. I am not any of you three." Heather defended herself.
Emma walked up to the scene at this point, "Heather is doing reconnaissance and trying to find out Team Style's dynamics." Emma explained.
"Exactly. Team Style is a much bigger threat than Team Victory." Heather explained. "I need to find what weaknesses we can exploit." Heather further said, before pulling out a toothbrush. "Okay, who the hell is missing a toothbrush."
Cody ran up at this point to the scene, "Thank you, thank you Heather! I have been looking for this as I didn't want Sierra to get it, but now I don't have to worry about it because Sierra is gone!" Cody cheered out.
Confessional- Heather
"I'm not in love with Alejandro. If anything, I finally feel some level of comfort within the team. At this point I think I finally have a majority group with myself, Emma, Cody, Mickey, Kitty, Zoey, and probably some form of Topher, Anne Maria, Katie or Ella. The point is that right now I need Courtney, Scott, and Gwen out. Hopefully today they screw up, and I can send any one of those three jerks home if we lose."
Back To Scene
After receiving his toothbrush, Cody walked over to Mickey and Zoey. Luckily for Cody, Mickey had decided to talk to him the next morning after the Paris challenge as he felt bad about not talking to Cody after the Sierra elimination, "How are you feeling Cody?" Mickey asked.
"Well Sierra is no longer here so that's a positive, but-" Cody began to say.
Mickey however interrupted him "But, Kitty still won't talk to you, which is driving you crazy since you like her." Mickey mocked.
"Geeze, you don't have to put it like that." Cody said, growing annoyed at his best friend.
Mickey however didn't pick up on Cody's annoyance, "I also know that you can't resist her forever." Mickey teased.
"Wow dude, blunt much. Look, I'll talk to you later. Right now, I have to see what else I still have of mine in the vents." Cody explained walking away.
"Did I do something wrong?" Mickey asked, turning to Zoey.
"Just a bit too straightforward. I wouldn't worry. I am pretty sure; Cody is still your friend. He just needs to sort everything out with Kitty." Zoey explained.
"Oh, okay." Mickey said, feeling a tinge of anxiety due to how blunt he came across just now.
Back over with Courtney, Scott, and Gwen, Courtney looked up "Heather, can you hear me?" Courtney asked before hearing complete silence. "Perfect."
"Why? What's wrong Courtney?" Scott asked.
"I think we made the wrong decision in voting out Sierra." Courtney said as she kept looking up at the vents, so Heather wasn't hearing her.
"Uh Courtney, the vote was unanimous." Gwen reminded her. "Besides, after everything Sierra said about Kitty and Mickey, I was always voting Sierra out last time."
"Besides, next time we can get rid of Heather or even her stupid lackey Emma." Scott reminded Courtney as Gwen raised her eyebrows at what Scott said, as she was starting to wonder if getting rid of Heather was even worth it.
Confessional- Scott
"I do agree with Courtney, we probably made a mistake in getting rid of Sierra. She was a great smokescreen for Cody and his crew. Now she's gone. Right now I need to think of how to keep both Gwen and especially Courtney. The problem is now that Heather knows I'm against her, my options are limited. Main thing is trying to send Heather or Emma home, another thing is to find a crack that we can exploit."
Back To Scene
On Team Victory's bench Lindsay was sitting with Bridgette and Millie as Lindsay was doing her nails, or rather Millie was as Lindsay was still upset about losing to Bowie in the last challenge. "I still don't know why I lost the last challenge. I put effort into my design."
Millie sighed in annoyance at her friend's outburst as since Tyler was still celebrating Sierra leaving, she was left consoling Lindsay the last few days, "I know Lindsay." Millie said.
"Millie, knock it off." Bridgette whispered aggressively in Millie's ear as she was the other one who had been comforting Lindsay.
Confessional- Millie
"The last 2 days, Lindsay has been nonstop complaining about losing the tiebreaker to Bowie's mullet design. I get she thought she had it but it's a lot. Not helping is that Tyler, her boyfriend, is smiling ear to ear and doesn't comfort her."
Back To Scene
"I just don't understand. Why can't Tyler at least comfort me or make me feel all happy like when I have my lip gloss." Lindsay said as she was now near crying.
"I agree." Bridgette said looking over to Tyler and Damien who were talking a little farther away.
"Is today the day you finally comfort Lindsay?" Damien asked, annoyed at Tyler's lack of infection.
"Of course, bro, but you know I can't help but be happy that Sierra is gone, she was the one that tarnished my reputation online and made me the least popular person online." Tyler explained. "But yeah, today is my last day of being extremely happy about that. Linds probably deserves better."
"Not probably, she does." Damien said as Tyler glared at him.
Confessional- Damien
"Tyler has been acting so happy since Sierra left, you would think he is Cody in disguise. Anyways, what Tyler is doing by being so happy is ignoring Lindsay's feelings about the last challenge. I just hope he doesn't ruin all of our games by doing this."
First Class
In First Class, the camera picked up on Alejandro laying in one of the reclining chairs with a cucumber facial, "Ah, this is life!" Alejandro said before taking off a cucumber and looking around to see that no one was anywhere near him. "Huh that's odd."
Meanwhile, Jen, Trent, Bowie, and Justin were shown in another section of chairs as Jen was showing a shirt that was like her original but was more red. "Found this in Paris right outside The Louvre, cleaned it up. Can't believe someone would throw something like this out. Do you guys think I should wear it?" Jen asked.
Trent immediately spoke up. "Yes, it would look amazing!" Trent said, which got Bowie to chuckle at how he was acting now in front of Jen.
After Jen stood up and decided to change her appearance for the day, Bowie looked over to Trent with an amused smirk, "Glad to see you finally realize that you like Jen as in like her like her."
"I uh, I have no idea what you're talking about." Trent nervously said, until Bowie raised his eyebrows and Trent decided to relent, "Okay fine. I do like her a lot. But as someone who fell in love with my closest friend and ally, I don't want the same heartbreak again."
"Justin, what do you think?" Bowie asked before seeing that Justin still had his cucumber facial on his face and was passed out. "That's odd."
"Maybe, but when Justin and I were in a band. Justin liked all the individual beauty time he could get." Trent explained.
"I guess so. But something seems off about him." Bowie explained.
The camera next panned over to Owen and Jo who were sitting on the couch, "You are still on board with getting rid of Alejandro, right?" Jo asked.
"Oh of course. Al left me for dead. He deserves to go!" Owen called out.
However, at that same moment Heather popped out of the vent "What!?" Heather called out before landing on the ground.
Duncan who was just done at the bar part of First Class walked up, "My, what is the spoiled pain in the ass doing spying on us?" Alejandro took the other cucumber off and saw Heather across the room, confused about what she was doing here.
"I wasn't spying… I wanted to unleash my…. inner Izzy." Heather said, defending herself.
"Oh, how I miss her." Owen said to himself.
"Also, Owen, I am issuing a fashion ticket against you since your socks reek." Heather said, as the show showed Jo giggling to herself, indicating she knew where Owen's socks were.
"Really. I can't even see my feet." Owen said as Heather walked away awkwardly, heading back to Economy Class.
Confessional- Heather
"I find it interesting that Alejandro is a target on his team. Maybe he's not as good as he thinks'' (Sighs romantically)
Static
"I want the tape back! Give me the tape! How do you open this damn thing!"
Pre-Challenge
After Heather's confessional the show showed a map with the plane going up and down, "Why are we landing in the middle of the ocean" Lindsay said before the plane lifted back off the ground, "I guess we're not. Wait, why are we landing in the ocean?" Lindsay said as the plane kept repeating the same thing again and again.
Courtney however didn't enjoy it however as she was holding onto Scott tightly so she wouldn't throw up, "I hate log flume rides. Come on BRAKE!" Courtney yelled out.
In the pilot's compartment Chef and Chris laughed about the whole thing, that was until Blaineley showed up, "What the hell was that?" Blaineley asked. "Never do that again."
"Ugh, you're no fun." Chris said as he grabbed the overhead speaker "We are in the water, and everyone will now be shown the nearest exit. The camera showed Chef shoving everyone into the water except for Jen who had just made her way out of the confessional.
"This top is perfect." Jen said to herself as she had her red colored top she found in Paris. Jen then saw Chef and made a run for the first-class seat cushion before Chef could grab her and throw her out.
"Heh, heh." Chef laughed to himself.
"I am not getting in that water." Jen said as she was sitting on the cushion in the water.
However, Mickey was shown struggling to stay afloat in the water, "Help I'm drowning! Ggglllh, I'm ah help me!" Mickey called out as despite Cody and Zoey trying to help him Mickey was in such a state of shock he was still drowning.
"Fine. The water won't be that bad." Jen told herself as she got off the seat cushion into the water and threw it towards Mickey, which Mickey gladly took.
"Thank you." Mickey yelled off screen.
Jen unfortunately however immediately went into the water and popped up, only to have a frog using her sunglasses like one did in Paris. "Not again!" Jen yelled out in fear.
Trent, who was right next to her, decided to be a gentleman and try and calm her down "Come on little froggy get back in the water." Trent said as he picked up the frog and set it in the water, "How a frog is in the middle of the ocean is beyond me. Are you okay Jen?" Trent asked.
"I-I think so?" Jen said, trying to get her breath together.
Confessional- Jen
"Trent is amazing. He is just so perfect. Aahh!"
Static
"Give me the tape, I can't have that air, my followers can't see this, how do you open this thing! No!" Jen cried out.
Back To Scene
Back in the present Chris, Chef, and Blaineley showed up with two boats with Chris and Blaineley on the first one, "Have any of you landlubbers been to sea." Chris called out.
"What the hell was that?" Zoey asked.
"We must be in Newfoundland. Chris is originally from Newfoundland." Topher explained.
"How do you know about that?" Ella asked.
Topher looked nervous before coming up with an idea, "I looked up Chris' IMDB page and it said he was born in Newfoundland." Topher explained as he wasn't sounding very convincing, but no one seemed to care that much.
"Yep, we are on the east coast of Canada's coast. Well, it's a hop and skip that away." Chris pointed eastward as the camera showed a bird flying until it had a heart attack and died in the water.
"Well, that's traumatizing." Damien said.
"Whatever, here's the first part of the challenge." Blaineley began to say. "5 or 6 members of your team will head for your team's boat and make their way to shore. Where the other 5 or 6 members will wait to do the second part." Blaineley said.
"Wait, what about Team Amazon?" Zoey said, raising her hand. "We're a team of 13."
"Two people will sit out from your team and be immune and since Zoey, you raised your hand you will sit out today and since Mickey can't swim well. He'll join you." Chris announced.
"Thanks, come on Mickey, let's head inside." Zoey said as she began dragging Mickey and the seat cushion back into the plane,
"Good luck guys." Mickey yelled out.
After Zoey and Mickey had left, Heather spoke up "Who's with each group?" Heather asked.
"That's easy. For Team Amazon the people on the boat are Gwen, Courtney, Emma, Scott, Cody and Kitty." Chris told.
"Fuck." Cody silently said to himself, cursing about the fact he was going to be with Kitty for this challenge.
"Which leaves Heather, Topher, Katie, Ella, and Anne Maria for the second part." Blaineley said.
"I don't know how to row a boat so I'm fine not doing this crap." Anne Maria said as she swam her way towards the boat that had Chef on it as did the rest of her teammates that didn't have to be in the boat.
"Team Style, the ones that have to do the boat are Alejandro, Sky, Jo, Julia, and Owen."
"Wait, so we only have 5 people for the boat? How is that fair?" Sky asked.
"Trust me with the second challenge you will want more people in the back half of the challenge," Blaineley explained.
"Get me out of the water, now!" Jen yelled out as Trent, Bowie, and a depressed Justin followed her as Noah looked at the camera.
Confessional- Noah
"I am annoyed that the group I am with has two people I can't stand, Duncan and Justin. The most tolerable is Jen. But no one ever takes her seriously. Why I couldn't be in a group with Owen or Sky just annoys me. At least I'm not with Alejandro."
Back To Scene
"Team Victory, your boat people are Bridgette, Geoff, Shawn, Brody, Jasmine, and Ezekiel." Chris said.
"Aw dudes. I get to row a boat! Awesome!" Geoff cheered.
After everyone who was meant for the second part and Chef left, the remaining 17 contestants huddled up for the challenge. "Guys listen up. If we swim in a v shape formation, like geese, we will be faster." Courtney said. "Any objections?"
"Yeah, no we should just swim to the boat." Emma said as she took off.
"Is anyone listening to me?" Courtney asked as Cody and Kitty soon took off for the boat as well.
"Maybe instead of a v, the 3 of us can form a triangle in the water." Scott joked.
"Fine. Whatever." Courtney said as she, Scott, and Gwen took off swimming and Gwen raised her eyebrows at Scott and Courtney's interaction.
Confessional- Gwen
"You know, Courtney shouldn't let her obvious crush on Scott and the need for power and control of this team dictate her whole game. My relationship with Duncan last season and the pressure of being a team captain last season ruined my game. I meant Trent. Trent, not Duncan. Just a slip of the tongue. Why would I even say Duncan's name."
Static
"Give me the tape! I want the tape back. How do you open this thing?"
Back To Scene
Back in the present, Courtney was swimming in the lead of her team, as she wanted to be the leader for this challenge, especially with Heather not there, "I got the main point."
"No, you don't. I will lead this team." Emma said in retaliation.
"I am a leader, an experienced swimmer, a synchronized captain, most importantly, a CIT!" Courtney said in protest.
"You are more like a crazy bitch!" Emma said as she rolled her eyes.
"Emma, back off! You are nothing more than Heather's lackey who has no identity beyond being the ex-girlfriend of a sexist in Chase." Scott said in anger.
"Well Courtney has no identity beyond being Duncan's girlfriend, and you have no identity beyond just liking Courtney." Emma accused back.
Gwen however had enough, "Okay all 3 of you shut the hell up and get in the boat!"
Confessional- Scott
"Emma is a pain. Besides Heather I wouldn't mind getting rid of her. Besides all Heather did for her was get her to break up with Chase. Big deal apparently. I could get Courtney to break up with Duncan. Not that I will."
Confessional- Emma
"Honestly even if I wasn't aligned with Heather, I would still find Courtney and Scott insufferable. Courtney has no social skills, and Scott is a dick. They would be perfect together."
Team Victory's Boat
Geoff and Brody were shown swimming fast in the water towards their boat, "Aw is that all you got dude?" Geoff said.
Jasmine, Shawn, and Bridgette were trailing the duo, with Ezekiel nowhere in sight. "Those two boys are like two golden retrievers, I swear, mates." Jasmine said in astonishment.
"Wait guys, where is Ezekiel?" Bridgette asked as Jasmine and Shawn looked behind her and decided to stay quiet on what they saw.
Team Style's Boat
Alejandro was the first of his team to make the boat, "Excellent work my little porpoises, may I be of assistance?" Alejandro offered as Sky and Julia both accepted his invitation as both got into the boat, with Julia wanting to recruit him as a temporary ally for them and Noah.
"Thanks." Julia said, doing her best infatuated tone, even if deep down she couldn't stand the guy at all.
Alejandro saw Jo next and even decided to ask her for help, "Jo may I also be of assistance."
"Back off Ale hand job." Jo said as the show editors made sure to censor that for future airings. "I can do it all by myself." Jo said as she saw that Owen was dog paddling to the boat, as Jo decided to look for the fish net.
"Why bother, we could just leave him." Alejandro said as he didn't want to deal with Owen.
"If this was before I got to know Owen, maybe I would. But he is my friend, and no man left behind even if they could be dead weight." Jo said as she threw the net.
"Psh! Whatever." Alejandro said in anger at Jo's actions.
"Oh, and by the way. Stop being the leader. You suck at it!" Jo said as she, Sky, and Julia kept pulling the net.
"Sorry guys for being a burden right now." Owen said from the fish net.
"You should be." Alejandro said as Jo shoved him to the ground. "Piss off Jo."
Confessional- Jo
"I am never ever working with that Latin charmer. He is an asshole."
Start of Boat Race
Everyone on Team Victory besides Ezekiel was on the boat, "Guys we can't leave without him." Bridgette said, looking around for Ezekiel.
"Hey Bridgette look, behind you?" Shawn said and Bridgette turned around to see Ezekiel was now riding a whale.
"How?" Bridgette asked in disbelief.
"This is awesome, dudes. I am on a whale, yo!" Ezekiel cheered out.
"Is it fair to Ezekiel to be on a whale and not with us, or does he have to be on the boat?" Geoff asked.
"Eh, it's fine, just get to the shore by any means necessary" Chris explained. "The rest of your team is waiting for you in some shacks by the shore. Oh and you should be inclined to get some extra seafood for an extra bonus." Chris further said. "Paddle!"
As the race started, Kitty asked what everyone was thinking. "I wonder how everyone is doing, that doesn't have to row a boat."
Challenge Shack
Meanwhile in the shack where the second challenge was to take place, everyone was shown waiting. "Ugh, the clams outside are gross." Heather complained.
"I don't mind her, but is she complaining to hear herself complain?" Ella asked Katie.
"Yep, she did that a fair amount last season. I actually like this shack; it reminds me of the beach house Sadie, and I would go to growing up." Katie said with a smile.
A little way away was Duncan, Trent, and Jen. "I just hope I don't do anything gross." Duncan said, looking around the building.
"Oh, just toughen up." Trent said in an irritated tone.
"I just hope it gets sunny as this weather is just depressing. I could totally use some rays." Jen complained. "Also, if I have to do something gross? Ew!"
"I am sure you will do amazing! I know you will." Trent complimented, which Jen enjoyed while Duncan noticed how Trent was with him in comparison to Jen.
Team Amazon's Boat
Back with the first challenge and race, Team Amazon was in a solid third place as they decided to have Cody and Kitty row the boat, but they hadn't officially started as Courtney decided to brag in that moment, "I am in charge, a very experienced rower, and a three-time swimmer. A CIT" Courtney said which was annoying everyone sans Scott in the boat.
"Just go already, I can't deal with this crap." Gwen yelled out loud.
Cody and Kitty had begun rowing, annoyed at Courtney's slowing the team down, while Scott said what they were all feeling, "I hope the other teams are also struggling or hit a roadblock."
"Stroke, go faster! Faster!" Courtney yelled out, as deep down she knew she slowed her team, so she wanted to compensate for it. "Stroke it harder!" Courtney said.
Scott giggled, finding it funny what Courtney said, "Aren't you going to say something?" Scott asked Cody.
"I am not a complete pervert." Cody said as he was trying to focus on rowing.
Meanwhile over at Team Style's boat Jo was fishing, while Owen was in the back as Julia and Sky paddled the boat while Alejandro was leading. "I got a crab." Jo said as Owen took it out of her hands.
"Awe this little fella is adorable. Do we have any butter?" Owen asked.
"You better not lick the crab." Alejandro said, before a devious smirk plastered his face and he said something he would regret, "You don't want to end up like Jo."
"I don't get it." Owen said.
However, Jo got the joke that Alejandro was implying at, and was immediately pissed off, "You're dead Alejandro! You're fucking dead!" Jo yelled in anger and tackled him to the ground.
Sky stopped rowing and set her paddle in the boat, "Break it up you two. Break it up!" Sky said as she picked up Jo off of Alejandro. "Calm down Jo, he is not worth it." Sky told Jo.
"How can I when this asshole implies that I have an STD? Hell until Brick I had never kissed a guy." Jo yelled in anger.
Sky took Jo to the other end of the boat to further calm her down as this wasn't what she wanted, "Look that was too far. Also, I want to say that I am sorry." Sky told Jo.
"You, why are you sorry?" Jo asked, now more confused.
"Look I am sorry about the whole Dave vote and thinking you caused it. He and I were friends, but we weren't that close. I don't care who caused it, but I was wrong to shun you completely. I wonder if there is any way we can work together?" Sky asked.
"Look, I appreciate it, I will at least think about it. But thanks for the apology, especially since I didn't do anything wrong." Jo explained.
Back on the main boat the camera showed Chris and Blaineley, "Tensions are high on the boats, and who will be on the chopping block tonight, find out after the break." Chris announced.
"I am on a whale yo! I'm the whale king." Ezekiel yelled off screen as the camera faded to black.
Commercial Break
Team Victory Boat
In Team Victory's boat Bridgette was fishing, same with Geoff while Shawn and Brody were rowing, and Jasmine was leading them. "Guys we have to have the lead right now." Shawn said out loud.
"Dudes, can we slow down for a second?" Brody asked as they did, which threw Jasmine off guard.
"Why have we stopped?" Jasmine asked.
"I just want to stop and suggest the 5 of us work together." Brody said. "All of us know how to have a good time. Is everyone cool with it dudes?" Brody asked.
"Sure, I think my birthday is today so that makes today even better." Shawn said. "This is perfect!"
"Happy birthday, mate." Jasmine said as Shawn blushed in embarrassment.
"Great I do wanna say dudes, in case we do lose I want Damien to go. He ruins the fun vibes. Dude screamed last night in his sleep and woke me up." Brody said.
"I am pretty sure we all agree but I think we should get going." Bridgette said, "I don't want to lose tonight." At that moment Team Style's boat passed as it showed Jo putting Alejandro in a headlock. "Let's go!" Bridgette yelled out.
Confessional- Bridgette
"It is nice to have a group of people to work together. But winning the challenges should be the top priority, first and foremost. Wish Geoff would take it more seriously."
Musical Number
All of a sudden, the musical number dinged, "Oh come on!" Jasmine said in anger. "While we are rowing?"
"What are the requirements?" Shawn asked, wanting to get the song over with.
"At least a dozen of you now hit it." Blaineley spoke up from the boat as her head popped up.
Sea Shanty
"We're heading down to Newfoundland, the rocky eastern shore..." Sky sang as she had an accordion in her hand, kicking the song off.
On Team Style's boat it also showed Jo and Alejandro going at it for another round, "What you said is war, you stupid man whore." Jo sang as she had Alejandro in a headlock
"I'll have the shrimps, mussels, cod, and the lobster thermidor." Owen sang in a scared tone, trying to dance to the music.
"I can't get a thing to bite so we better get there first." Gwen sang annoyed at her predicament with the lack of fish.
"So, row harder faster both of you for the nerve, work up the thirst." Courtney commanded.
"You sure are the damn worst." Emma sang, getting in Courtney's face.
"At least her dancing isn't unrehearsed." Scott was next and made Emma step back as he sang, before showing a little bit of tap dancing which shocked everyone present.
"It's a sea shanty and it's damn catchy." Bridgette sang next.
"My voice isn't patchy." Shawn sang as he was shown now with an eyepatch and did a pirate impression.
"Why did you change your look?" Jasmine sang as she was left confused about why Shawn did what he did.
"Aye mateys we never go by the book." Geoff and Brody sang together also showing off temporary eyepatches.
"Jo sure is a tough one but damn she can catch a fish." Julia sang, reluctant to admit that Jo did a good job in a challenge,
"Thanks, you snitch and this fish here is Irish. Okay who wants the next verse?" Jo sang and then said as she just didn't want to sing again and wanted to use said giant fish to smack Alejandro with.
"I am trying my best Courtney, but my arms are getting fried." Cody sang, as he complained
"We got to keep going for her pride." Kitty sang as she and Cody looked at each other awkwardly.
"Courtney, look ahead don't you see." Gwen sang as she pointed ahead of the route.
"Could it be? Steer hard to the starboard side." Courtney spoke up next, shocked at what she saw coming in the distance.
'Part of me feels like it has died." Scott told himself quietly to himself, annoyed that Courtney wasn't giving him attention.
"It's a sea shanty and it's damn catchy." Bridgette sang as she closed out the song.
"Babe, you always will have me with a sea shanty." Geoff sang the final part as he and Bridgette high fived, as the song closed.
End Of First Challenge
"Good job Team Victory. But best be careful, there is danger up ahead." Blaineley forewarned.
"Danger, what is dangerous?" Jasmine asked.
"Giant chunks of ice!" Geoff yelled out. Unfortunately, Team Victory couldn't move out of the way in time and hit the ice block and began to ping pong off of each of them until they landed on shore. "Aw dudes. Ow!" Geoff cried in pain.
"Okay we have everyone who isn't Ezekiel." Bridgette said.
"Where is the home-schooled sexist anyway?" Noah asked as he and everyone who was partaking in the second challenge walked onto the scene.
"What took you guys so long eh?" Ezekiel asked as he was shown on the roof of the shack.
"He was on the roof?" Katie asked in astonishment.
"That's right the whale blasted me into the sky, and I landed on the roof, somehow the material didn't break or collapse. It's impressive." Ezekiel said.
"And annoying," Harold told himself.
"Do you guys have room for one more team!" Sky called out off screen.
"Awesome, we are still in this! Good job Sky!" Noah said, also laughing to himself that Jo still had Alejandro in a headlock.
"Where the hell is our team?" Heather asked in anger, growing more impatient.
Rock Shore
As the six people in Team Amazon's boat hit the rock shore, Gwen tried to calm the people down that didn't like this idea "Guys don't worry about it, Courtney, Scott and I will only be gone for a few minutes. Besides this place is so dangerous, one of the other teams probably wiped out. Oh, and also thanks Kitty for letting us borrow your selfie camera for this."
"No problem." Kitty said, annoyed as she was one of the people that was against this detour, especially since Courtney slowed them down, but due to everything with Cody she decided maybe it would be for the best.
After Gwen, Courtney and Scott left, Emma could tell that she was probably out of place right now, "I assume you both want me to head out. I will give you guys a minute." Emma said as she walked away.
With Emma gone, Cody and Kitty were the only two still on the boat as both had an awkward air to them, neither wanted to speak as Cody still felt embarrassed that this was how Kitty found out, while Kitty didn't feel like Cody was genuine and that it was a heat of the moment type of thing. Cody decided to break the tension "I guess I'll start. Sorry about how Paris went."
"It's-it's fine. Did you mean it when you said that you actually like me like that." Kitty asked.
"What type of question is that? Of course I do. I like you Kitty a lot. I confessed this on International television." Cody explained. "Do you not believe me?"
"I want to, but I have a great love detector, where I go like this-" Kitty said as she began imitating a buzzer sound.
"Heh." Cody laughed at that. "That is one of the reasons why I like you, you are just so silly and it's endearing." Cody explained.
"Is it as a friend or more than that?" Kitty asked. "I am just wondering if you like someone else."
"I like you more than a friend. I want to go out with you so badly." Cody said, almost sounding desperate.
"That's great to hear. I do have one requirement. I want to take this slow if at all possible." Kitty asked Cody. "I have seen past relationships like with my sister, and they go horribly wrong."
Kitty then gave Cody a kiss on the cheek, as she signaled for Emma to come back. "So, what's the juicy gossip?" Emma asked as she saw them holding hands. "Aw I am glad you guys worked that out."
Cody, noticing both Emma and Kitty were there, decided to finally ask the thing that had been bugging him since Iceland, "I have a quick question for you guys?"
"Sure, what is it?" Emma asked.
"Kitty you uh, mentioned that uh, you had a sister named Emma and I was just wondering, are you guys related?" Cody asked.
Both Emma and Kitty looked at each other and then laughed, "Ha ha. Of course not. I actually don't have any sisters at home." Emma explained.
"Yeah, and here's a picture of my older sister Emma, just for confirmation." Kitty said as it showed a person slightly older than Emma, who was passed out drooling with many law books at her desk.
"Oh shoot, this is embarrassing. I mean I only told Mickey since he is my best friend, and he and I tell each other everything, I think. I hope he's doing okay." Cody said as the camera flashed away to the jumbo jet.
Economy Class
In Economy Class, the two people who didn't partake in the challenge Zoey and Mickey were on separate ends of the bench, both throwing a pair of socks owned by Topher back and forth with each other to pass the time. "Are you annoyed that you don't get to do the challenge today?" Mickey asked.
"It was upsetting at first, but I like spending this time with you, Mickey. You are a good friend." Zoey said.
"Oh, wow thanks, I didn't realize you consider me a friend. I am not used to having more than a couple of friends at most. I mean back in high school I got bullied." Mickey explained until his eyes widened as he didn't mean to reveal the last part.
"I am in the same boat, back home I had no friends. I came to this show to get out of my comfort zone. But I am so glad to be doing it, even despite Anne Maria and Topher." Zoey explained as her eyes lightened up. "Hey Mickey, I have an idea I want to run past you, if that's okay?"
"Sure, what's up. If you are going to ask me to read a tarot card again, that is a no go." Mickey said as he saw Zoey shake her head. "What?"
"No, it isn't that. I was wondering if you want to form a duo with me, as friends nothing more." Zoey asked.
"Just friends, right? What type of duo?" Mickey asked.
"A final 2 deal, I know that with Topher and Anne Maria dating I am probably the third wheel for them. So, I want to work with you accept, I hope I am not trying so hard?" Zoey asked in worry.
"I accept, don't worry. With today's challenge I imagine Kitty and Cody are going to be a couple today as they remind me of Kim and Ron," Mickey said.
"Kim and Ron? What are you talking about?" Zoey asked.
"Kim Possible and Ron Stoppable? You know the show on Disney." Mickey explained. "Cody acts just like Ron."
"Oh my gosh I love that show. Want to do a recreation of the theme song?" Zoey asked as Mickey nodded. "Should I keep the flower when we dance to it?" Zoey said as she looked at her flower in an unsure way.
"Keep it okay. On one condition, whenever we meet up either of us get to say, 'What's the sitch.' Deal?" Mickey asked.
"Deal, okay I want to say the theme song starts with-" Zoey began saying as the camera went static to confessional.
Confessional- Mickey
"Like I told Zoey, if Cody and Kitty will be a couple which I think they will, they have all the set up for. I need another person to work with and Zoey is that person, we have our own little greeting. The fact it is a Final 2 deal is even better. I just hope Cody understands, he will. I know he will. He's the best."
Rock Hill
Back with Courtney, Scott, and Gwen, all 3 were climbing the rocks, "This is too good to be true." Courtney said in astonishment.
"This is just so uncanny; do you have the camera, Scott?" Gwen asked as Scott appeared on screen.
"Yeah, I got it. Look I don't think the others can hear us, you wanted to talk about something, Gwen?" Scott asked.
"Right, last challenge, I heard a theory that Kitty and Emma are sisters?" Gwen said as Courtney and Scott laughed at that sentence.
"You can't be serious Gwen." Scott said, still trying to maintain his laughter.
"Do you think I believe it? I just think this is something we could use to send Emma home." Gwen said as she looked down to see Emma, Kitty and Cody all laughing and joking, "Doubt we could tell those two."
"Look I am down." Scott said as they all made their way to the top of the rock, "Again why am I taking this picture?"
"It looks like Duncan, and I think this is the universe telling me we should be together. Let's just take the picture and head back down." Courtney explained.
"Fine whatever, and smile!" Scott said, doing his best to sound enthusiastic but not showing it.
Confessional- Scott
"I swear by the end of the week if Duncan doesn't break up with Courtney, I will find a way to break those two up for good. Wouldn't be the first time I 'destroyed' a relationship. Did I just say that shit on air?!"
Static
"Give me the tape, give me the fucking tape? How the fuck do you open this thing? Fuck!" Scott cursed.
Beach Shore
"The next part of the challenge will begin soon. Since Team Amazon isn't here yet, the remaining 5 of you are going to clean all the fish that Team Victory and Team Style picked up along the way." Chris explained.
"Oh, and also shuck these giant clams!" Blaineley said as she pointed to a bucket of clams.
"This is so unfair." Anne Maria said in anger.
"Shouldn't it be the whole team?" Heather asked.
"No dice," Chris said, as he wanted to torment the contestants a little bit. "I have a special seafood event here and I need this seafood completely prepped."
"Wasn't the team that brought the most fish back get a special reward? What is it?" Alejandro asked.
"Yeah, your reward is watching Topher and the girls here clean and shuck," Chris explained.
"That's a fair trade off. I'll enjoy it." Alejandro said in a taunting tone towards Heather who just scowled at him.
Confessional- Heather
"If Chris wants to host some stupid event, he should have hired a catering company. I'm not free labor that can get bossed around. Ugh! The people on the boat that slowed us down are going to pay."
Rock Shore
Back with Team Amazon, Gwen, Courtney and Scott were coming down the rocks while it also showed Cody and Kitty holding hands, "About time you guys got back here. Why did you guys go up there anyway?" Cody asked.
"I saw a rock that looked like Duncan, and I thought it was a sign from the universe that we're meant to be together." Courtney explained.
"That can't be it, right? There has to be more to it than that," Kitty said, as she was trying to comprehend what Courtney said.
"Yep, it is, here's the photo for proof." Scott said showing the picture with both Courtney and Gwen along with the rock that looked like Duncan.
Kitty was growing in anger, but was trying to stay calm, "Courtney, did you want to do this because you haven't seen or talked to Duncan that much since the season started." Kitty asked.
"Yeah, I do. It's just annoying that Duncan doesn't spend any time with me, I know we kind of silently agreed to spend time apart. Heck, he reaffirmed it at the last challenge, but it still hurts. How can it not? I guess I did this to compensate for the fact he is barely here." Courtney explained. "But why did Gwen go with Scott and I?"
"I thought this would be funny and get a good laugh out of Duncan. Heh, ha." Gwen said, trying to sound convincing.
"Not to spoil the mood. BUT We should probably get going, as we are probably way behind the other teams." Emma said breaking the tension.
Fish Shack
In the shack for the second challenge, each team had their members face to face on the table with Team Style's Trent, Jen, Bowie, Noah, Justin, and Duncan on one side while Millie, Tyler, Lindsay, Damien and Harold were on the other end.
"It's time for the second part of the challenge. It's a traditional Newfoundland kitchen party of which I own, specifically a Screeching Inn relay." Chris announced.
"Oh gosh. This is perfect dude. I've read up on this stuff. Screeching Inn is a ceremony by the locals to welcome in the newcomers to the place" Harold said until he was interrupted by Chris.
"Shush, I'm not done talking. First thing is to take a swig of a fair amount of apple cider." Chris explained.
"That doesn't sound bad, I visit my hometown's apple orchard all the time." Trent said.
"Oops. I meant to say apple cider vinegar. That stuff will put hair on the chest."
"Not my thing." Bowie said to himself.
"Chris, that is scientifically impossible as apple cider vinegar is just-" Harold began to say until Millie put her fingers over his mouth.
"Please be quiet." Millie said, as she didn't want to face a penalty potentially if Harold kept talking.
"For Team Style your drinkers are Trent and Duncan while for Team Victory yours is Harold and Damien." Blaineley announced setting the vinegar down on the table.
"There is some nutritional value in apple cider vinegar, so this won't be the worst thing." Harold said, as he was trying to hype himself up.
"Just shut up." Damien told Harold as he wasn't doing much better before this challenge. ³
"Once either duo is done, they will tag in the next duo, in either Noah and Bowie or Lindsay and Millie, where they have to decipher a phrase from my cousin Jerd McClain." Chris announced.
A tune played as a man that was smaller than Chris in a yellow rain jacket and red beard showed up and put his arms around Bowie and Noah "Yer how is the cotton in yer ears?" Jerd asked as Noah and Bowie looked at each other weirdly as did Lindsay and Millie.
"Once those duos are done, they will tag in Tyler and either Justin or Jen and they have to kiss a cod like they mean it." Chris explained further as Tyler looked scared while Jen and Justin looked worried.
Confessional- Tyler
"Kiss a fish? That's just gross. I don't want to be known as the guy who kissed some cod.
Confessional- Jen
"No! I will never kiss a fish. I still feel like I have frogs in my hair. Ew gross! Gross! Gross!"
Start of Second Challenge
"Begin!" Chris yelled out as Trent, Damien, Harold, and Duncan were drinking the vinegar.
"Come on Damien you got this!" Millie cheered, hoping her best friend would do well.
"You got this Trent!" Bowie and Jen cheered for Trent, as Duncan was growing more impatient and angrier as he took this anger out on the vinegar.
Duncan ended up chugging the vinegar like a beer and finished first, "That's not as awful as I thought it was." Duncan said until his throat became dry and nearly swallowed up.
A minute later both Damien and Harold finish, however both also felt the effects, but for different reasons "I've got to go to the bathroom!" Harold screamed out in a hoarse voice.
"Right behind you!" Damien yelled out as both ran off screen.
Trent took the cider more slowly and finished with just a slightly dry throat, as Blaineley spoke up, "Lindsay and Millie are up. Take it away Jerd."
"Ring de bell at the pumphouse." Jerd said,
"Maybe it has something to do with a broken house?" Millie asked as Jerd shook his head in disagreement. "Come on Millie think this through."
"Wait what did Harry and Danny say about having to use the bathroom? I hope they're okay." Lindsay said, more focused on how Harold and Damien were doing then the challenge.
Jerd gave a thumbs up, "Correct Lindsay. You guys can now tag in Tyler."
"Yay! I got it Minnie, isn't that great?" Lindsay asked.
"It is, congrats." Millie said however she also flinched a little on the inside.
Confessional- Millie
"I swear at times Lindsay is the idiot savant. She has her moments of brilliance which just shock me. She can't get Harold or Damien's name right, but gets a Newfoundland phrase right? It's impressive."
Back To Scene
Right outside of the shack, Harold was heard in an outhouse with Damien right outside "I don't have chest hair, but my system is messed up." Harold yelled out.
"Dude, hurry up! Come on, I need to go to the bathroom." Damien yelled out in pain, "Forget it I am going in the water." Damien yelled.
As Damien took off, he passed right by Team Amazon who was still shucking clams. Topher and Ella were next to each other as both chuckled at what happened with Damien. Ella then noticed that Topher had a fish net on his head and disposable gloves, "Why all the protective gear?"
"I just want to protect my body from the clam juice, same with my hair." Topher explained.
"Awe, that is so nice how you take care of your body." Ella said as she complimented Topher who enjoyed it.
The camera panned over to Anne Maria who was glaring at Ella, "That bitch." Anne Maria said to herself.
Confessional- Anne Maria
"If that fairytale princess bimbo wannabe thinks she can flirt with my man. She has another thing coming."
Back To Scene
Back inside the shack, the challenge continued on, "It all comes down to Tyler. Chef, bring in that fish."
"Bring me that fish, pretty boy." Chef said as he shoved Alejandro aside.
"Is it too much to just say thank you?" Alejandro said in anger as he walked back outside.
"I don't know if I can do it, I mean this is gross. It's a fish." Tyler said looking in disgust, trying not to puke.
"At least it's not a chicken fish." Noah said, trying to joke around as no one laughed.
"I don't get it." Lindsay stated, looking at Millie who just shrugged her shoulders.
"Tyler, you have to smooch it and like you mean it, now Jerd, another saying." Chris said.
"Der worst thing you can have is no teeth in your head." Jerd said as Bowie and Noah looked unsure at each other.
"Maybe it has to do with Owen's butt." Noah guessed.
Jerd however looked offended and looked over at Chris and Blaineley, "This one here is a total dumbass." Jerd said, pointing at Noah.
"I understood that one and screw you." Noah said, offended.
"Knock it off Noah, we have a challenge to win. Is it that it's bad if you have no teeth?" Bowie asked as Jerd gave a thumbs up. "My boyfriend back home Raj, a hockey player from Alberta, has lost teeth before. Oh, how I miss him." Bowie said remembering his boyfriend.
"Okay Justin or Jen who is kissing the fish?" Chris asked as it only showed Justin.
"Of course." Justin said in anger and annoyance.
"I can't do this, guys. Come on seriously, it's a fish." Tyler said, still looking like he was going to gag.
"Same here, what if this fish has diseases, my future modeling career would be ruined." Justin complained.
Lindsay however walked up to her boyfriend, and feeling very happy from her fluke of guessing the correct saying, decided to encourage Tyler, "Babe think of me when you kiss that fish."
"Come on Justin, just get this over with. Picture yourself while kissing it." Bowie said. "The thing you love most is yourself."
Both Justin and Tyler had now decided to kiss the fish but due to Justin's lack of passion, the fish he was kissing pulled away and smacked him in the face, "Ow my cheek bone."
"Come on fishy bring it." Tyler said in mid make out with the fish.
"Should we stop this?" Blaineley asked, getting uncomfortable with the fish and Tyler kissing scene. "Do we think Tyler will talk dirty to the fish?"
"French and fuck me fishy baby." Tyler said in a seductive tone, lost in the moment with the fish as everyone in the room was jaw dropped at what Tyler had said.
"Did he just say that he wanted to have a fish bang him?" Noah asked Bowie who was also stunned at what Tyler said.
"That's enough Tyler!" Chris yelled out as Tyler opened his eyes and saw the fish who kissed Tyler on the cheek before Blaineley took the fish away.
Confessional- Noah
"Stuff like this is why my cousins are never allowed to watch this show. I mean Tyler wanted to fuck a fish, not cook this fish but kiss it and bang it. I was going to maybe donate my eyes to science one day but now they are ruined."
Back To Scene
"Congrats Team Victory, you guys have won the challenge!" Chris announced as Team Victory cheered, as everyone from that team ran into the cabin to celebrate.
Tyler was the most excited, and he let his glee and enthusiasm lead to a speech that would change his game, "Hell yeah babies, it's Tyler time now! Everyone is going to know who Tyler is now. I won this challenge for the team. The fans will now know who I am. Suck it Sierra, everything I have done this season was to prove you wrong and that I am popular. Everything I have done is to be more popular." Tyler said "Woo hoo!"
The room was now silent as no one wanted to speak, "He didn't just say that." Millie said to herself quietly.
"How dare you!" Lindsay said as her voice began to break.
Tyler's face fell as he turned to Lindsay as he was starting to finally calm down, "What, Linds? What's wrong babe?"
"You only dated me because you wanted to be more popular with fans, you never, you never loved me. How dare you!" Lindsay said as she ran out of the shack crying as Millie ran after her.
"Calm down, Lindsay! Calm down!" Millie said off screen trying to get her to calm down.
"What did I do wrong?" Tyler asked, looking around as everyone left in the shack looked at him with disgust or disappointment. "Did I make a mistake?" Tyler asked himself.
Confessional- Tyler
"Oh gosh, I let the adrenaline of being the one who would win the challenge for me take over me. All I remember is when I was about to kiss the fish after Lindsay gave me a pep talk, next thing I know, she is so mad at me and won't want to be anywhere near me. Worst thing is, I don't even know what I said."
Confessional- Damien
"Tyler has let wanting to be popular consume him, and once Sierra left, he has let that control him. I know he said that Lindsay was the exception, but he didn't specify that, and what's worse is that he doesn't remember anything he said apparently.
Confessional- Lindsay
(is shown crying) "That jerk. He told me he loves me and now it was a lie. All last season I wondered where Tyler was, as I wanted him back as I thought he was the best I ever had. I got to date him and now I don't even know him. He used me, and never loved me."
Back To Scene
Back in the present, everyone was in the shack sans Lindsay and Millie who were still dealing with Tyler's outburst, and everyone who was on the boat for Team Amazon. Luckily the latter came storming in, "Are we late?" Emma asked.
"Yeah, you guys are. You are the big-time losers. Since Heather, Ella, Katie, Topher, and Anne Maria didn't partake in the challenge at all. All 5 of you are safe." Chris announced.
Heather, who was pissed about losing, walked up to Gwen, Courtney, and Scott. "What the hell happened?"
"We got lost okay. I got us lost." Courtney said, defending herself.
"Oh, I cannot wait to vote you off, you wicked bitch." Heather said, pointing at Courtney.
Confessional- Courtney
"Okay fine, I had a moment of weakness. Not being around Duncan much and seeing a rock that looked like him made me desperate. I messed up. Wait, did I just say that on air?"
Static
"Give me the tape, give me the damn tape. Oh, how do you open this thing?!"
Back To Scene
"Well since I could go home tonight, here Duncan, here's a picture we took today." Courtney said as she walked up to Duncan and showed her the picture of herself, Gwen, and the rock that looked like Duncan. Duncan who still had his throat dry from the vinegar couldn't say anything as Courtney walked away, until Bowie slapped him in the back.
"Thanks." Duncan said. "I am taking your breakup advice." Duncan said.
"Ooh I almost forgot Team Victory, as an added bonus you get to enjoy a nice clam and fish chowder supper." Blaineley announced.
"Oh my gosh I've been craving that. Awesome eh!" Ezekiel cheered out loud.
The scene flashed forward about 10 minutes later, Bridgette, Harold, Damien, Jasmine, Ezekiel, Shawn, Geoff, and Brody were enjoying their clam chowder as Damien was outside the shack reading Tyler the riot act, and Millie was still in comfort Lindsay mode. "Gosh! I am just so full from this meal." Harold said as his chowder was still mostly the same.
"Uh Harold eh, you barely even touched your chowder." Ezekiel noticed.
"I just don't want to go to the bathroom again." Harold explained, "Gosh!"
Alejandro, who was packing up his stuff in the shack, walked up to Harold "Here sir Harold. Let me take it. I wouldn't want to see you in pain." Alejandro said as he took a bite of the chowder only to see a pair of socks in front of him "What the hell?"
Owen popped in within the shack, "Hey that's where my socks are. Thank you, Al, for finding it." Owen said as he put the sock on which made Alejandro gag, while the camera panned from afar to show that Jo and Julia both saw what happened. For Jo she was smiling, while Julia had an annoyed look on her face.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Malvada bruja! Malditos incompetentes" (spits out from brushing his teeth furiously) "Owen is so freaking dead!"
Confessional- Jo
"Ah hah! That was worth it. I took Owen's socks into one of the bowls of clams. (Pauses) Okay I paid Harold off 10 dollars to help get revenge on Alejandro since he is still mad at him about the Leshawna elimination."
Confessional- Harold
"Payback is a bitch, Alejandro. That is what he gets for letting my precious Leshawna get eliminated."
Pre-Elimination
On one end of the beach was Courtney, Scott, and Gwen as the mood felt somber, Courtney had cost them the challenge and even admitted to it. "I am so nervous tonight. I cost us the challenge." Courtney said. "You guys will be fine without me." Courtney said as though she was accepting her defeat.
"Don't say that at all." Scott said in fear and a sense of denial, he didn't want to see the girl he had a crush on leave so soon. "We just need 7 votes to send Emma home."
"How do we get those votes?" Gwen asked.
"Maybe get Topher, and Anne Maria on board?" Scott meekly suggested.
"Okay who else?" Courtney asked.
"Don't worry, I will think of something." Scott reassured, but he was trying to convince himself more than anything.
Confessional- Scott
"I am not losing Courtney after all this time. I just can't I love her too much. Did I say that on air? You know what I did. I love her, and I will no matter what."
Back To Present
Back in the present time Heather and Emma were on the other end of the beach, "Yep I was outvoted and those 3 absolutely threw the challenge." Emma told Heather.
"I would love so badly to blindside Gwen." Heather said as Emma shook her head, "Why not?"
"Next time. If we want Cody and his crew on our side, we need to keep Gwen for one more round. Besides, no one likes Courtney sans Scott on this team." Emma explained. "Who do we have for this vote?"
"We should theoretically have us two, Katie and Ella as they were not pleased about Courtney throwing the challenge and we should have all 3 of Cody, Kitty, and Mickey. That is seven and that would be enough, and we could even have Topher, and Anne Maria."
"I hope so. I know that they are going after me tonight, promise me that if I somehow get voted out tonight, you will fight even harder without me here?" Emma asked as her and Heather shook hands.
Confessional- Heather
"Sierra was an easy consensus boot, now lines will be drawn and hopefully Courtney is going down. I can't lose Emma."
Back To Present
Another group that was talking about this vote was Cody, Kitty, and Mickey. "Congrats guys on being a couple. Zoey and I actually called it today on the plane." Mickey told Cody and Kitty who blushed in embarrassment about being together now.
"Awe that's so cute, did you guys talk about the game at all?" Kitty asked.
"Nope, not at all. What is the game plan tonight?" Mickey asked as he lied about Zoey and his own final 2 deal. He didn't want them to find out so soon.
"I mean the plan was pretty obvious. It's Courtney tonight. She led us off course, and she has had a bad attitude for a while." Cody explained.
"I agree, she has such a bad attitude." Kitty noted. "What do you think Mickey?"
"I agree." Mickey said as the camera panned down to show his fingers were crossed behind his back.
Confessional- Mickey
"I feel bad lying to Cody and Kitty. Especially Cody, but this whole Kitty and Emma's sister nonsense needs to end, and I wouldn't mind sending Emma home. I let that whole thing out of the bag, and I just want to forget about this whole thing. But if I vote Emma out. I'm betraying my best friends, and I don't know if I can do that."
Back To Present
The next trio talking was Topher, Anne Maria, and Zoey. "I want to vote out, Emma tonight." Topher stated for reasons he wouldn't disclose.
"There is no way. Courtney probably cost that group the challenge, and she acts all high and mighty. Besides there's only room for one diva on this team, aka mwah!" Anne Maria said as she pointed to herself.
"She's more than a diva." Zoey told herself.
"Zoey, what do you think?" Topher asked.
"I mean, both Courtney and Emma have their pros and cons. But I want to do what's best for us." Zoey quickly said on the fly.
At that moment, Mickey walked up, and Zoey couldn't have been happier. "Hey Zoey, can we talk one on one?"
"Sure, I'll be back guys." Zoey said as she walked off screen with Mickey.
"Okay Anne Maria, does it really matter who goes?" Topher asked.
"It really doesn't, I just like getting my way. I just want to make sure we are safe, so I will relent, and we can vote out Emma tonight. But I do want a say next time." Anne Maria asked.
"Of course. Thank you, Anne Maria." Topher said as he hugged her.
"Do you want to make out?" Anne Maria asked in a seductive tone into Topher's ear.
Topher leaned in and kissed Anne Maria on the cheek, "Not right now. Maybe later. I need to tell Zoey where we are voting tonight." Topher said as he ran off screen.
"Are you kidding me?" Anne Maria said in annoyance.
Confessional- Anne Maria
"I'm sorry but am I wrong for finding it how annoying how little Topher wants to act romantically in public. For a guy as beautiful, gorgeous, and confident as he is. Topher doesn't act like it with me."
Edge of Water
At the edge of the water, Zoey and Mickey walked up as both sat on the beach and put their feet in the water, "Okay, what's the Sitch, Mickey?" Zoey asked.
Mickey at first smiled at that, "Aw yes, you remembered our phrase together. I just want to know where your head is at with this vote."
"Honestly I am still debating, both Emma and Courtney are headstrong, athletic, terrible taste in ex boyfriends." Zoey said until Mickey raised his eyebrows. "Okay that may be an Emma thing. Also, the merge is nowhere near."
"I know, this is tough. I kind of want to vote out Emma the problem is that Cody and Kitty are dead set on sending Courtney home. Heck I don't like her. But the whole sister theory about Emma and Kitty is all my fault. I just want to vote out Emma and forget that ever happened. I should have never said anything" Mickey said in sadness.
"This is rough." Zoey said as she saw Topher and he walked up to both of them. "Hey Topher, what's up?"
"Anne Maria and I talked, we are voting out Emma." Topher told both of them.
"Can I ask why?" Mickey asked.
Topher looked around and looked at the water trying to avoid eye contact, "I have my reasons, I would rather not discuss." Topher said as he walked away back to Anne Maria so she wouldn't be too mad at how long he was gone for.
"Great, now we are the swing votes no matter what." Zoey said in frustration. "Are you sure you can't change Cody and Kitty's minds?" Zoey asked.
"No, they assume it's a done deal." Mickey told Zoey. "So, if our math is correct, it's 5 votes on Emma, and 6 votes on Courtney which leaves us." Mickey said. "Do you have my back with this vote?"
"Absolutely it is us two until the end. I promise." Zoey said. "Have you made up your mind?" Zoey asked back.
"I think I have." Mickey said as the camera flashed away.
Elimination Ceremony
At the elimination ceremony, everyone on Team Amazon was sitting in stumps as the sky showed it was evening for the Newfoundland sky. "Marshmallows at the ready, it's time to vote." Blaineley announced.
Confessional- Heather
"Karma's a bitch and so are you. Bye Courtney!"
Confessional- Scott
"Since I can't get rid of Heather, her little lackey will do tonight."
Confessional- Topher
"This is the type of move that dad would want. Sorry Emma."
Confessional- Zoey
"This move is strictly strategic, nothing personal."
Confessional- Mickey
"I am sorry either way. But this is for me and myself." (stamps unknown passport)
Back To Scene
"Marshmallows go to Katie and Ella." Blaineley announced.
"Yay! We're safe." Katie cheered out.
"Heather, Mickey, and Topher are also safe." Blaineley said as Mickey held his head down in shame. "Zoey and Anne Maria are also safe. Now onto our vulnerable players. Kitty, and Cody you are also safe." Cody was happy for a second until he saw Mickey's face and how he couldn't even look at Cody. "Gwen and Scott are also safe. Emma and Courtney step down."
"Good luck." Scott told Courtney, fearing the worst. "I.." Scott began to say as Courtney had already walked up to the stand.
"Ladies, this is each of your first times in the bottom 2, let's see why Courtney you took full blame for the challenge lost, and still have a bad reputation from Season 2. Emma you are deemed a threat, and too close to Heather, I will say, tonight's vote was close." Blaineley announced. "The final marshmallow goes too…
….
….
….
….
….
….
….
…. Courtney!"
"Oh, thank goodness." Scott told himself
"(Sighs) I wish I could have stayed longer; I really hope this rumor about myself, and Kitty didn't cost me the game." Emma said sadly as she began to walk away.
"What?" Heather said, just hearing it for the first time. "What are you talking about?!" Heather asked.
"It's no big deal. Remember Heather, good luck and don't lose yourself in this game." Emma said, as she sadly walked away.
"Well Team Amazon it is back in the plane with you guys. You are down to an even dozen. We'll see how things shake out for your team. Good night." Blaineley said. She noticed from afar Chris talking with his cousin Jerd but decided not to investigate it at that moment.
Confessional- Zoey
"This vote was tough as Emma is a good person. But I can't bring it within myself to betray Topher. Heck with Emma gone, maybe Heather will look at me as a close ally."
Confessional- Heather
"I shouldn't care that Emma is gone, but I do. I worked so hard to have her as an ally and was willing to go far with her only for some dumb rumor to take her out? That is absolute crap. I have no clue where to go game wise. My best bet is to just stay calm, read the room and go from there."
Confessional- Mickey
"This vote was hard to do, but I need to have this Emma thing in the past, seeing her reminds me of my mistakes. I just hope Cody doesn't turn into what I dealt with in High School. I can't go through that again, but maybe for betraying him I would deserve it."
Episode Closer
"What is Mickey hiding, and will Tyler remember what he said and his massive screw up with Lindsay? What does Julia have brewing, and how violent and volatile will Alejandro and Jo be?" Chris asked.
"Most of all which unlucky 18-year-old is getting pushed out next time on Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley announced as the camera faded to black, but not before the audio picked up "Okay why were you talking to your cousin?"

Notes:
The Newfoundland chapter is all done, so the first thing I want to address is Courtney. Her seeing the Duncan rock, knowing that it's Duncan and still wanting to take a picture might seem out of character, but it was meant to show how bad her relationship with Duncan is at this point, hence why she may seem a touch out of character this chapter.
Now for the challenge I didn't want both teams to have all their members do both so I divided it up, for who I thought would work best for each challenge.
For Team Victory this chapter was mainly meant for two things, Brody's alliance, and the Lindsay and Tyler plot. There's a reason why I brought up the whole Tyler popularity thing last chapter. Oh, and trust me this plot is not done, not done at all.
For Team Style this was really meant to show the absolute chaos and impossible task Julia has of bringing Jo, Owen, and Alejandro together with a vote, and that will also have even more hardships soon. I also wanted to have Bowie be established with Raj in a relationship off screen.
Now for Team Amazon this chapter was meant for the Emma and Kitty sister storyline to pretty much end, while we also have the Mickey and Zoey friendship forming, along with Kitty and Cody being a couple.
Lastly it is now time to talk about our boot Emma from the reboot. I like her a fair amount. Heading into this season I initially had her and Chase as a bickering couple, but I wanted to make it clear with Emma she wanted out of the relationship. Now after I eliminated Chase, I linked her up gameplay wise with Heather, but there was no real plot that was coming together. Except for the Kitty and Emma's sister theory from Cody. I wanted that to play a small role in her vote out, and have it be kind of absurd. Hence why I eliminated her here in 35th place. But I do want to establish that she and Chase aren't getting back together.
Next chapter is Jamaica where we have a plane crash, hospital visit with multiple injuries, a medical evacuation, a full-on breakup with a relationship ending for good, and an elimination that will leave you stunned.
Chapter 16: Jamaica Me Sweat
Summary:
The Top 34 make a crash landing in Jamaica, due to a host cutting funds for their own self-interest. Two contestants end up injured due to the crash, one due to sacrifice, and the other due to sabotage, with one getting medically evaluated. More injuries happen on the first challenge, and the second challenge has an overdue breakup happen, and one couple fall apart costing the challenge for their team. A second player leaves the game in an elimination that leaves everyone, but one person stunned at the result. But the game goes on despite no jumbo jet.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Jamaica Me Sweat
Recap
"Previously on Total Drama World Race" Chris began. "Newfoundland showed members of Team Victory a smashing time." Chris said laughing,
"On Team Victory they managed to win the challenge, while a new alliance formed of Geoff, Brody, Bridgette, Jasmine, and Shawn. While Tyler misspoke and made Lindsay believe that he was only with Lindsay due to popularity. Looks like someone is in the dog house." Blaineley jokes.
"Elsewhere Team Style, Julia quickly realized that getting Jo, Alejandro and Owen to work with her was going to be an impossible task, as Alejandro joked that Jo had a certain type of 'disease', while Jo fed Alejandro Owen's socks. Nasty." Chris announced.
"Lastly Team Amazon was once again struggling despite the highs of having Kitty and Cody become an official couple, and Zoey made a Final 2 alliance with Mickey, but the disaster came when Courtney, feeling like Duncan was still acting cold to her, took her team to a rock that looked like him which doomed them for a last place finish." Blaineley said.
"At the elimination ceremony however, Courtney managed to barely avoid elimination when Emma was sent home with Topher implying this was something to deal with his father, and the new duo of Zoey and Mickey seized the opportunity to take out a threat, 34 players are still fighting for the million dollars. Who's leaving tonight out of the fold, and who is going to get some gold? Find out right here on Total Drama World Race."

(End Of Intro)
First Class
The episode begins in First Class as it shows Ezekiel, Brody, Shawn, and Geoff relaxing in First Class. "Winning really is everything, eh." Ezekiel said as he had a cucumber facial.
"Yep, this is life." Brody said as he was sounding like he was in a near sleep like trance.
Harold, who was walking by, offered his input "The person who won the challenge for us, should be the one most happy." Harold said.
Bridgette, who was also having a facial, took her cucumbers off her eyes, "Harold, that won't happen any time soon. Tyler wants to be left alone; the dude is pretty beat up." Bridgette observed.
"If that's even genuine after what he said." Harold said as Bridgette nodded. The sentiment around Tyler really changed in a negative light as while he wasn't anyone's main target, he was low on allies.
Tyler himself was shown looking out the window and was still in a state of sadness and near tears, "This will all work out. Lindsay needs to see that I love her." Tyler told himself as Damien was sitting by him, Damien being the only one still talking to him a fair amount.
Lindsay was shown with Millie and Jasmine as she was still processing Tyler's confession of doing everything for popularity, "I'm just so stupid, how could I fall for him?" Lindsay said.
"Lindsay someday you'll get over this, it will all be okay." Millie reassured her ally.
"Is it supposed to hurt this much? I don't trust him anymore. He wanted to be with me so he could be more popular." Lindsay said.
"Lindsay, let it all out crying wise and turn this into fuel to do well in the challenge. I know you have that fight in you." Jasmine stated.
Confessional- Millie
"Ever since Tyler revealed he has done everything for popularity this season, Lindsay has turned into a wreck who is always sad. Tyler is a loner who no one wants to talk to. Both are shutting down. They are both my allies but being seen with Tyler publicly is just going to cause more tension on the team."
Confessional- Lindsay
(Tearfully) "For now Tyler and I are on a break. I just don't want to see him unless I have to. He can enjoy his popularity without me. I don't care about being famous anymore. I just wanted him, but now I don't."
Back To Scene
Jasmine was shown standing and walking around First Class as she walked up to Shawn, "Is having multiple facials supposed to help you from the zombies?" Jasmine asked.
"Nah, I just enjoy it." Shawn said. "Besides this is only my third one."
"Heh, heh, that's cute." Jasmine said as she walked away, while Shawn blushed in embarrassment.
Economy Class
In Economy Class, Team Amazon was huddled closely together on one side, "Economy can kiss my ass." Heather scowled in anger, too cold to even to think about her next move after her closest ally was taken out last round.
"How have we managed to win 3 challenges in a row now, anyway?" Ella asked.
"Gwen cost us in The Amazon." Katie said, as Gwen glared at her. "We couldn't find the penis part of a statue and then Courtney got the boat group lost last time." Katie further said.
"Geeze, thanks Katie." Courtney sarcastically said.
"Okay for one day can this team please not fight." Topher asked, until a water dropped on his head. "I am going to go somewhere in Economy Class that's a little drier, so my hair doesn't get soaked in rainwater."
Mickey, Zoey and Cody were shown next in an area that didn't have leaks in it, however Mickey was sneezing at that point "Ah-choo! I swear when the weather is like this, I am sick." Mickey said as he sneezed, however the sneeze also showed a touch of blood on account of his bloody nose.
"Ew, gross." Zoey said, trying to stay calm, as she looked at Topher to make her calm down, even as said guy was not going to be next to Mickey since he didn't want to get sick.
"I don't feel extreme heat or cold, yet this weather is making me feel awful." Mickey complained before sneezing again. "I swear this is not fair."
"You got this under control?" Cody asked Zoey.
"Yep, go be with your new girlfriend Cody." Zoey told Cody who made a B-line straight for Kitty, but he still had some guilt in him leaving Mickey behind.
Meanwhile With Team Style
On the other bench was Team Style, showing Noah, Julia, and Sky together. "Glad we could have this alliance meeting." Julia said. "I would like to first apologize for being so vague with you guys."
"Thanks." Noah said as he was reading a book, uninterested in what Julia had to say.
"What's up Julia? You look like you need help?" Sky asked as she was more intrigued what Julia could be getting at.
"Well, the thing is that we need to take a shot at Bowie's alliance." Julia explained, "There are 4 to 5 of them and we can't let them overtake the team."
"Okay, who would you even want to target?" Noah asked as he put his book down. "I assume Bowie."
"Nah, I want him to suffer so I would want Trent or Justin to go first." Julia told Noah and Sky, who both looked confused.
"Question, who are we supposed to sway onto our side?" Noah asked.
"It has to be everyone who isn't aligned with Bowie, so we need Owen, Jo, and Alejandro to our side." Julia said as Noah and Sky looked bewildered. "What?"
"There is no way I am working with Alejandro, he's an asshole." Noah said.
"Also, there is no way Jo and Alejandro will work together, they hate each other, and I am pretty sure Owen does as well since the whole being left for dead accusation back in the Amazon." Sky explained.
"Those 3 will have to see that if we are targeted, they will be the next ones out on the team and given how often we are stuck here in stupid Economy Class. All of our time is limited here in First Class." Julia further said.
"I doubt this plan works." Noah said as he was back to reading a book.
"Come on Noah, have some faith." Julia said, trying to pep up her allies.
"Okay, I have faith this will fail." Noah further said as he went more into his book.
"Okay we can also see if there is a crack in Bowie's alliance, maybe one of Justin, Trent, or Duncan is on the bottom of that." Julia said.
"I can agree with that, if it means I don't work with Alejandro." Noah said, as both he and Julia were satisfied with the conversation for different reasons, as Julia was happy that she got Sky and Noah to agree to help her. While Noah was happy, he may not have to work with Alejandro.
First Class
Back in First Class, Shawn, Geoff, and Brody were all hanging out together, "Guys today is the day I am going to ask Jasmine out."
"That's awesome dude." Brody said as he cheered out, as he was happy for Shawn.
"Finally, you guys would make a sick couple." Geoff said happily as Brody nodded.
"Really, you guys also want us to get together?" Shawn asked, in astonishment .
"Of course dude, you guys like each other a lot, that and this team could use a couple in love since Bridgette and I are only okay, and Tyler with Lindsay right now is…. Yeah." Geoff said as his smile faded.
"Thanks guys, you are the best." Shawn said as he could barely contain his excitement.
Chris was shown walking in First Class, while Millie signaled to Jasmine to keep comforting Lindsay as she got up, "Hey Chris, have you guys seen my journal? I haven't had it since Newfoundland. I know I didn't-" Millie said until Chris handed it to her.
"FYI, you are not allowed to publish disparaging things about my family as I have my lawyers on standby, do I make myself clear, Millie?" Chris said in a threatening tone.
"I understand, and I am so sorry." Millie said sadly, with a lot of guilt.
Confessional- Millie
"In my journal, I wrote about Chris and his family back in Newfoundland and I guess Chris somehow found out. I don't know how. As for what this is, I am writing about the failure of my generation. Lindsay is a goldmine of info. I do feel bad writing about her, but she is so naive I think she'll understand, and she is still my friend regardless."
Plane Crash
The rain was still pouring as Chris, Chef, and Blaineley were in the pilot compartment, "Um are we out of gas?" Chris asked.
"Yes, because you spent all our gas money on your stupid cousin last episode." Chef said in anger.
"I knew there was something off about you talking to your cousin last time. Where's my phone?" Blaineley asked.
"Don Strauss can't find out about this." Chris said as he had Blaineley's phone in his hands.
"He's finding out one way or the other, Chris!" Blaineley said as she tackled Chris.
"Attention passengers, we are going down!" Chef yelled out as the sound of Chris and Blaineley fighting could be heard in the background.
As the plane was crashing, in Economy Class things were scary, "We're all going to die!" Owen yelled out in fear.
Due to the force of which the plane was falling, the hole in the wall was coming undone as Alejandro had an evil smirk on his face, "Perfect."
Confessional- Alejandro
"No one is going to force me to eat their own socks and not expect karma to hit them upside the head."
Back To Scene
"Oops." Alejandro said in a fake sad tone, as he let the rest of the Economy Class hole out.
Unfortunately for Owen, he hadn't grabbed onto someone or something and was quickly getting thrown out the plane "Oh no, oh biscuits." Owen said out loud as he got thrown out of the plane.
"Owen, NO!" Noah and Jo yelled out as their friend was thrown out.
"Get that crate, now!" Duncan said as he and Trent pushed the crate in Economy Class back into the hole so no one else can get sucked out.
Despite still crashing, Jo realized what Alejandro did and once again lost it, "Alejandro, you are a dead man!" Jo said as she tackled Alejandro, as Sky pulled Jo off of her.
Confessional- Noah and Sky
"Julia is insane if she thinks Owen, Jo, and Alejandro will work together." Noah said.
"If someone shoved me out of the plane while it was crashing or tackled me to the ground or fed me their socks. I would never talk to them again." Sky said as she looked at the camera.
"Okay so what else is a deal breaker in terms of being friends." Noah asked as Sky chuckled.
"I'll think of something later." Sky said.
First Class
Unfortunately for Team Victory the plane crash for them wasn't much better as Shawn was getting thrown around "Ow! Oof, I ow!" Shawn yelled out until he accidentally opened the emergency hatch.
"Shawn!" Jasmine yelled out as she saw Shawn was beginning to get sucked out of the plane.
"Help me, help me!" Shawn yelled out as he was holding onto the door, luckily for him Jasmine had grabbed ahold of him and thrown him right back into the First-Class compartment as Shawn landed safely inside. However, she threw Shawn in too hard and made herself lose balance as she fell out of the plane herself. Before Shawn could do anything, Brody and Geoff had luckily gotten ahold of the door and shut it tight unaware that Jasmine had fallen out of the plane, while Harold and Ezekiel were holding Shawn back, who was completely grief stricken fearing the worst about Jasmine.
"It's okay eh." Ezekiel tried to say.
"Jasmine, no!" Shawn cried out.
Jamaican Beach
Owen had fallen out of the plane and landed right on his butt, "Ahh! Ow! What happened? I'm, okay? I'm not dreaming? This is a miracle." Owen cheered out.
"Make way." Jasmine said as she was landing and landed right on Owen's kiwis unfortunately. "Sorry mate."
"Ow great gods of Pina coladas, that is the smarts." Owen cried out. "I'm okay."
"I'm sorry again Owen. I had to help my friend from getting sucked out. What happened to you?" Jasmine asked. "Never mind, take cover!" Jasmine said as the plane fell on top of both of them with Jasmine trying to shield Owen.
After the plane landed everyone had made their way out of the plane, "Two airports the size of post stamps on this island but somehow this is my fault."
"Give me my damn phone back!" Blaineley said as she was shown being scratched up.
"Over my dead body are you contacting Don Strauss." Chris said in anger.
"Don Strauss." Topher and Scott said at the same time, as both looked around thinking someone else said the same thing they said.
"You just had to spend your money on your family. How do you not expect to get in trouble?" Chef said.
Shawn, Bridgette, Courtney, and Jo were trying to get Jasmine and Owen out from under the plane, "Jasmine, you'll be okay, you'll be okay!" Shawn pleaded out.
"Chris, Blaineley!" Bridgette called out. "Jasmine and Owen need help."
"All hands-on deck!" Blaineley yelled out.
Confessional- Owen
"Oh no biggie, it's just a concussion. Can you parent my phone and tell them not to worry about Santa! Haha!" Owen said as he then crashed into the door.
Back To Scene
After an ambulance was shown leaving Chris went right back to hosting duties, "Owen and Jasmine are going to be fine, even if Shawn and Jo insist on being there for them." Chris said in an annoyed tone.
"Dude show some humility, Shawn was totally going to ask out Jasmine." Brody said as Geoff nodded.
"I do not care. They will be fine due to the travel insurance they have, which should officially help them in 6 to 38 hours." Chris explained.
"That insurance must suck then." Damien noted.
"What about the rest of us?" Gwen asked as she looked around.
"Well, the plane is busted, we are broke and out of gas. But the show must go on, we can't waste any footage, besides think of all the hits we will get on Clip Tube." Chris said in eagerness.
"Isn't it YouTube?" Trent asked.
"Make sure to censor that." Chris sternly told Chef who nodded his head.
"Where are we?" Tyler asked, as the subject matter changed.
"Yeah, because this place is beautiful like mwah." Anne Maria gloated as she tried to pose for the camera, before tripping on her own two feet.
"We have landed in Jamaica." Blaineley said.
"Aw man dudes, DJ would have loved this place, it was where he and his momma lived for so long, he told me." Geoff said, remembering one of his best friends.
"We were supposed to go to Ocho Rios but since Chef forgot to glide, the challenges will be done here instead." Chris said as he looked around a bit nervously.
"Aren't we going to have to be quick about this? You guys, had to have had location fees before doing the show ready to go." Harold asked.
"Yep, we did Harold, so we are going to have to improvise." Chris explained.
"Wait, didn't you guys budget for the whole season?" Noah asked. "We haven't even reached the Top 30."
"Some things are more expensive; airplane hot tubs don't come from nature and aren't cheap." Chris defended himself. "I also gave myself daily facials."
"What about the emergency fund, every show has to have that!?" Heather asked.
"I spent it on our last fuel up." Chris defended himself again.
"Also, he spent it on his family last episode." Chef said as everyone was protesting that decision.
"No, I didn't, I swear it was the last fuel up." Chris said in anger.
"Okay when was the last fuel up?" Sky asked.
"The Amazon." Chris meekly replied. "Anyways, we have a challenge to run and be snappy. Here is how it works, half of you are going to be in the first half of the challenge, and the other in the second half."
"The people in the first half for Team Amazon, we have Gwen, Heather, Katie, Ella, Zoey, and Mickey." Blaineley announced.
"Oh boy." Mickey said nervously looking around.
"For Team Victory, Geoff, Bridgette, Ezekiel, and Brody will be doing it." Chef announced.
"Woo dude!" Geoff and Brody cheered out.
"Lastly for Team Style we have Justin, Alejandro, Sky, Noah, and Julia." Chris stated. "The rest of you wait by the local pool. You guys will take part in the second challenge, and I promise, it's a doozy."
"Don't need to tell me twice." Duncan said as he walked away happy to not be in the first part of the challenge.
"Everyone in the first part, grab your swimsuits, and meet us in half an hour." Chris announced as he walked away.
Medical Ward
In the hospital it showed Owen waking up, "Am I dead?" Owen asked as his vision was starting to come too.
"No you're not, but Alejandro will be, when I get ahold of him." Jo said as she was now shown on the scene.
"What happened? Where am I?" Owen asked.
"You're in the infirmary. Alejandro pushed you out of the plane when it was crashing. You're lucky it was only a minor concussion and some bruises." Jo explained. "I swear when I get a hold of that Latin asshole!" Jo yelled in anger.
"Jo calm down. What about them?" Owen asked as the camera panned to Shawn and Jasmine, the latter of whom was unconscious in the hospital bed table.
"Oh Jasmine. Oh Jasmine!" Shawn yelled out in anguish, crying right next to Jasmine who while alive didn't look good,
'He's really going through it right now, and she doesn't look good." Jo noticed.
"Oh this is bad, bad!' Owen said in fear as the camera flashed away.
First Challenge
At the top of a large cliff, everyone who was in the first part of the challenge was shown, as the camera picked up on Noah laughing at Chris, "Heh, heh pretty blouse." Noah said.
"It's a dashikimon. You uncultured idiot." Chris said as he posed with the outfit on.
"Is it a woman's or unisex?" Mickey asked.
"What are you talking about?" Chris asked back, confused what Mickey was implying.
"Can we just get on with this challenge?" Julia asked, as she didn't care about what Chris was wearing, as she would never be caught wearing that.
"Gladly, today's challenge is the Treasure Hunt of Death!" Chris exclaimed.
"Seriously, are our lives in actual danger?" Noah asked, annoyed.
"Nope, we were supposed to do this at Dunns River Falls, but this place will have to do." Blaineley explained as she was still trying to think of how to get Chris' phone to tell their boss.
"So this is another water challenge, sick dude." Brody cheered out.
Confessional- Brody
"I was so jealous that my buddy Geoff got to do all these challenges, like the cliff dive during the first season. This is going to be such a blast!"
Back To Scene
"Here's how it works, one person per team will jump off the cliff wherever we are." Chris announced.
"What's in the water this time, sharks?" Noah asked in a smartass tone.
"Nope sharks and electric eels." Chris boasted.
"You just had to talk." Sky said as she glared at her friend, who blushed in embarrassment.
"Don't worry the sharks aren't lethal, same with the eels." Blaineley explained as Chris glared at her. "We are not putting the contestants' lives in actual danger when we have two in the hospital."
"Well that makes me feel better at least." Zoey said as she sighed a huge sigh of relief.
"Players can tag other teammates to go into the infested water, hold your breath underwater and try to find the pirate treasure. Aka the gold chains Chef wears on karaoke night." Chris explained. "Now for the twist, we threw in a few extra gold chains, they are fakes and if you return them, you can no longer dive, but if your team loses you get immunity tonight, so it's a gamble." Chris further said.
"That's concerning." Ella said, hoping that everyone on her team wouldn't just aim for the immunity tonight.
"Player who returns the gold chains wins an advantage for their team in the next challenge, good luck teams especially Victory and Style as you guys were supposed to have Owen, Jo, Shawn, and Jasmine do this. But with them out of commission you will have to pick up their slack." Chris explained as the camera panned to Team Style.
"No problem, Justin, it is your lucky day. You get to do all the dives." Noah explained as he didn't want to do the dives, and Alejandro was someone his allies needed to recruit.
"Whatever." Justin said as he rolled his eyes, while Alejandro was shown glaring at Noah.
Confessional- Alejandro
"If it were up to me I would shove Noah into the water. I swear Team Style is the worst team ever put together. I can't stand Noah, I hate Owen, I hate Justin, and I hate Jo even more. You know what no, I am not going to pick one above the other as I equally hate them all."
Confessional- Justin
"At least doing this challenge will give me some time to clear my head out." Justin explained as he still had a solemn look on his face.
First Challenge
The challenge begins as it shows Mickey, Bridgette, and Justin jumping for Amazon, Victory, and Style respectively. "Yay." Justin flatly said.
"I can do this; I can do this." Mickey told himself, trying to hype himself up.
"Wish me good luck guys." Bridgette called out.
"Good luck babe." Geoff yelled back as Bridgette blushed in embarrassment.
"Ready steady Freddy, go!" Chris announced as all 3 jumped.
"Not the face!" Justin screamed out finally showing some emotion for once since Paris.
"Shark!" Mickey yelled out in fear, while Bridgette looked to have a fearless look on her face.
"Come on Mickey you got this! We believe in you." Zoey cheered. Unfortunately for Mickey he was shown getting punched in the face by a shark, while Justin's legs showed, indicating he hadn't dived underground, and Bridgette was shown looking underwater.
Confessional- Mickey
"I now have a new fear of sharks, or even more than I did before." Mickey explained as the camera showed him in bandages.
Back To Scene
Bridgette popped out of the water, "I've got some chains." Bridgette said as she began running back to Chris.
"Ugh, whatever." Justin told himself.
"Come on, pretty boy, actually try the challenge for once." Alejandro called out to Justin.
"Here!" Bridgette said as she handed Chris the chains.
"That's….. NOT IT!" Chris dramatically said. "Bridgette can no longer dive in this challenge."
"Ugh! This stinks." Bridgette said in exhaustion, angry at her lack of doing better.
"I've got you babe." Geoff yelled out as he ran into the water and quickly picked something up, only to reveal that it's an electric eel. "Oh no!"
Justin was still shown relaxing in the water, "Come on Justin hurry up!" Sky yelled off screen.
Confessional- Justin
"I need this time to clear my head and myself. The sharks aren't scared of me, same with the eels so I wanted to clear my head after what Julia said in Paris. If they didn't want this to happen, Noah shouldn't have suggested it."
Back To Scene
Mickey was shown next getting out of the water however he had scratches all over his body and was nearly ready to pass out, "So much pain." Mickey said.
"Mickey! I'm coming!" Zoey called out as she dived into the water and quickly swam to Mickey, "Let's take you to the hospital buddy. The infirmary shouldn't be too far." Zoey said as she carried Mickey over her shoulder.
"I guess I'll go." Heather said as she readied her position.
"You have beautiful form." Alejandro told Heather, in an attempt to flirt with her.
"What?" Heather said as she fell and ended up belly flopping into the water.
"Nothing personal." Alejandro said, defending himself, weakly.
Geoff ran and tagged Brody into the challenge, "You've got this dude!" Geoff cheered out.
Brody jumped in and he thought he had the chains, "I've got it- oh come on!" Brody said in annoyance.
Heather had come back up by this point and tagged Ella, "I am not sure I can do this." Ella told herself, before she decided to tuck herself in.
This however caused a huge wave where an electric eel landed on Gwen's head and Team Amazon ended up soaked, "Watch it princess." Heather yelled out.
"I got it Gwen." Katie said as she tried to get the eel off of Gwen's head. "Ow!"
"That's it, I am getting Justin out of this water so we can actually win this challenge." Sky said as she took a running start into the water.
"As soon as they get back, I am going to get the chains, I know I can do it better than most." Alejandro boasted to Noah and Julia, with Noah's growing hatred of Alejandro continuing.
In the water Sky popped up and it showed Justin still hanging idly by in the water, "Get out of the water now, we have a challenge to win, Justin!" Sky yelled out.
"It's just for an advantage, so why does it matter?" Justin said in defense as Sky began dragging him back to shore.
"You aren't screwing the whole team over." Sky said as she dragged a reluctant Justin back.
As Sky was doing that Geoff was shown in the water, popping up, but instead of gold chains, it was a grandfather clock, "This is such crap." Geoff yelled out in anger.
Back at the top of the cliff, Gwen was shown standing "At least the eel is gone, but I think I am getting burnt." Gwen told herself.
Heather walked up and tagged her, growing impatient, "Get going, you are our only shot." Heather told Gwen.
Gwen easily jumped into the water and looked around only to see a shark, which made her quickly hide in fear, luckily it passed her by, afterwards she found the gold chains. "I've got the gold!" Gwen called out as Katie, Heather, and Ella cheered. Unfortunately for her a few electric eels also attached themself to her.
Sky was shown walking up the cliff with Justin hunched over and refusing to talk, before she noticed everything that Geoff and Brody brought up that wasn't the gold chains, "It's impressive they brought up a whole couch." Sky said.
"I don't want to talk about it." Bridgette said in annoyance, that Geoff and Brody kept messing up.
"I'm it, let's go!" Alejandro cheered out as he tagged Justin and ran right into the water and had Gwen in his hands and most importantly the gold chains.
"He's got the chains! Yes!" Julia cheered out.
Heather however, realizing what this meant, had an idea "I'll be right back!" Heather yelled out as she ran past everyone and up to Alejandro and snatched the gold chains.
"Hey, what was that for?!" Alejandro asked.
"Nothing personal, right?" Heather replied as she ran away.
"I guess I had that coming." Alejandro told himself out loud.
"We didn't!" Sky yelled out as she and Noah glared at Alejandro, "I am never working with that guy!" Sky told Julia who had a neutral expression.
"I can whip him into shape, trust me." Julia defended Alejandro.
"I doubt it." Noah and Sky said at the same time.
"Pirate booty check." Heather said as she ran up to Chris out of breath.
"Team Amazon wins the advantage!" Chris called out as Katie and Ella cheered.
"Never underestimate the girls." Katie said, "Great job Heather!" Katie told Heather as the two high fived.
"Will Mickey, Owen, Jasmine, and Gwen recover?" Blaineley asked as the commercial break setup began.
"Will the plane get fixed while I am still young?" Chris asked.
"I don't know, are we in the 70s." Noah sarcastically said, as Chris pushed him off the cliff. "Aahh!"
"Piss off Chris." Sky angrily said as she jumped into the water for her ally.
"Find out when we return to Total Drama World Race…. Hey, where's my musical accompaniment and my food!" Chris asked angrily.
"I've got a boombox knuckle sandwich for you. Jerk!" Chef said as he threw a boombox that hit Chris clean in the head and sent him falling into the cliff.
Commercial Break
Medical Ward
In the medical ward, Gwen and Mickey were shown being rolled in as Zoey was still supporting Mickey and decided to be with him, "Hey Owen." Gwen said until she was shocked again by the eels.
"Well at least you are out of the sun." Zoey reassured Gwen. "Owen, you're looking better."
"I am in so much pain." Mickey weakly said.
"What's wrong with the butter stick?" Jo asked as she was comforting Shawn, who was next to Jasmine.
"He got mauled by sharks." Zoey explained. "Scratches all over."
"Ooh, is he going to turn into part shark?" Owen asked as he was met with silence. "Anyways, the sand broke my fall, and I broke the plane's fall as did Jasmine, she took the plane head on. Ever since then she has been unconscious. It is kind of spooky." Owen explained.
"Ow!" Jasmine weakly said.
"She is speaking, come on Jasmine, come through!" Shawn pleaded. "I love you!"
However, Shawn's world came crashing down soon after, 3 army medics came in and pushed right past Shawn in an instant, "Why is the army here?" Zoey asked.
"Jasmine's condition is too serious for this place, we have to take her to the top of the art hospital so she can make a full recovery." one of the army medics explained.
"What?!" Everyone in the tent sans Jasmine and the medics said, even Mickey who wasn't feeling the best said it and was shocked.
"Jasmine's leaving the game, for good?" Shawn asked, "No, I love her so much she can't leave!" Shawn cried out.
"Maybe it is for the best." Owen said as the medics airlifted Jasmine out of the medical room, as Zoey and Jo were holding Shawn back.
Shawn however collapsed from sadness "No! Jasmine!" Shawn cried out as Zoey comforted him.
Pre-Challenge
Back in the second half of the challenge, the competitors were Lindsay, Tyler, Damien, Millie, and Harold for Team Victory while Team Style had Trent, Jen, Bowie, and Duncan. Lastly Team Amazon had Kitty, Cody, Courtney, Scott, Topher, and Anne Maria. Bowie noticed their situation, and was less than pleased "We only have 4 of us, how is this fair?"
"Yeah, we are only at 5." Harold said as he was also not happy.
"You guys would be even if Shawn, Jo, and Owen appeared as they were doing this section of the challenge, as we had Jo, Owen, and Shawn designated to do both." Chris explained.
"Anyways, here is the advantage, Chef display please." Blaineley called for Chef who was shown wearing a helmet.
"Helmets. Great." Anne Maria sarcastically said, "I am going to look so ugly with that junk on."
"This challenge is called the Bob Sled of Death. Look behind you for the course." Chris explained as everyone turned around and gasped.
"Wow, that's amazing." Topher said in astonishment.
"Oh, this one is going to hurt." Damien said in fear.
"Yeah, the intern who tested will be out for 10 months or possibly dead." Chris said without a care.
"You are a monster, McLean!" Damien said in anger at Chris' lack of care.
"One of the reasons why they are in the hospital is due to the fact the show couldn't afford bobsleds so instead it is longboards." Blaineley explained. "Two at a time will be on the track, 3 runs per team. Now since Team Victory is at 5, one of you will go solo, and if Jo and Owen don't show up, one of the duos will have to go twice from your team. Fastest time wins so who is up?"
"Ladies first." Scott said as he pointed at Cody and Kitty.
"Oh, come on dude, I am just as much of a man as anyone here." Cody said in defense which made everyone look at him weirdly. "I mean this will be fun and romantic, right Kitty?"
"Right." Kitty said, confused by her new boyfriend's outburst.
"I will go first so you guys figure it out." Harold said as he left the group of Millie, Damien, Tyler, and Lindsay in awkward silence.
While on Team Style, Trent spoke up, "Jen and I will do it. Longboards are enough like skateboards, and I know those pretty well, so maybe we'll be fine." Trent told himself.
Infirmary Tent
Back in the infirmary tent the mood was very somber to say the least, "Hey, Shawn, are you okay?" Gwen asked.
"No, I'm not. It's just hard for me to see the woman of my dreams leave and I can't even give a proper goodbye, it just sucks." Shawn tearfully said.
"Maybe fate had this as the plan, like Owen said." Zoey thought.
"Just please be quiet." Shawn said in a very emotional tone, as he kept crying in the medical bed Jasmine was at.
"Man, you never know what to expect with this crazy game." Jo said, unfortunately at that moment the familiar musical bell dinged.
"Not now, you can't be serious?" Zoey said as she now had a look of pure dread on her face.
"Oh yeah, right now! This emotionally demented moment sounds like a song." Chris said as he popped into frame.
"Mickey and I just got into the infirmary." Gwen protested.
"You guys could join Jasmine and be eliminated as well." Chris threatened.
Suddenly, without a moment to spare, Shawn spoke up, "I'll sing, but on my terms." Shawn said.
"Fair enough, hit the song." Chris yelled out.
Musical Number
(Melody is that of "Just A Dream" by Carrie Underwood)
The musical number begins as a piano is heard being played, as Shawn is shown in a black suit and pants playing up against the piano, "It was two days after the day I turned 19. I can't be dressed in the stuff I have to wear tonight. I still have all her memories, laughs and smiles, even though I still feel so blue." Shawn began the song until he started tearing up, his performance mesmerizing everyone else.
Zoey picked the song up next. "When the medics told us why she had to leave, Shawn put his head down trying to hide the tears. Oh, he just couldn't believe it."
Gwen was next to pick up the song "We heard the sirens from the medical van and Shawn's heart had fallen out of his hands."
As the chorus picked back up Shawn began singing again, "Oh Jasmine why'd you leave me, why did she have to go, I was counting on forever in this game, and now it's a darn shame."
Gwen and Zoey sang the next part together as their voices echoed, "He can't even breathe."
Jo was next up to sing the song, even if she couldn't believe she was doing this, "It's like he's looking from a distance standing in the background, and everyone's saying she's not coming back now."
"This can't be happening to me. This is just a dream." Shawn sang crying.
The song took an instrumental break as Mickey had come to full consciousness as Shawn said how he was feeling, "I'm just scared about the game and what it means without her here."
"Tomorrow's just another day, she'll be proud of you." Mickey said.
"The host we all hate said let's all sing and bow our heads and pay, while we feel so hurt." Gwen said as a picture of Chris was shown and burned.
"Then we all decided to sing the saddest song that we've ever heard." Owen sang next as he hugged himself in sadness.
Zoey was walking around and noticed Jasmine had left something behind, "Then I found her favorite hat and Shawn held on to all he had left of her today." Zoey sang as she incorporated that into the song as she was now near tears herself.
Mickey sang next, "And then the sirens screamed out one last time, and it felt like a bullet through his heart." Mickey sang weakly, and in a very sad tone.
Shawn had finally picked the song back up, "Jasmine, why'd you leave me, why did she have to go." Shawn sang until he began crying again.
"He was counting on forever and now he's here and may never know, he can't even breathe, it's like he's looking from a distance standing in the background everybody's saying she's not returning here now. This can't be happening to him…" Zoey said.
"This is just a dream." Owen, Zoey, Gwen, and Jo sang,
After another instrumental break where Shawn was still crying, and Owen along with the ladies in the infirmary were in a group hug, Mickey sang next to break the silence. "Oh, baby why'd you leave me, why'd you have to go and now I'll probably never know, oh I'll never know." Mickey sang with such conviction; everyone was stunned silent.
With Mickey's passionate part of the song everyone stood up and sang together, "It's like he's/I'm looking from a distance standing in the background everybody's saying she's not returning here now. This can't be happening to me/him, this is just a dream. Oh, this is just a dream!"
The song went into a sad fade, "This game is never what you think it is and trust me we all feel sad for you, Shawn." Jo said.
"Promise?" Shawn asked.
"Just a dream." Mickey and Shawn sang as they returned to the rest of the group in a huge hug of solidarity as the song ended.
Second Challenge/First Round
The scene flashed to the second challenge as the first round was about to begin, Harold, Trent, Jen, Cody, and Kitty were all getting ready for the bobsled. As Harold walked up to his former bandmate, "How have you been Trent?" Harold asked.
"I'm doing amazing." Trent said as he looked longingly at Jen in love, as she was posing to herself.
"Awe, someone is in love." Harold teased. "Like Cody is, I think?" Harold said as he looked over to Cody and Kitty who were laughing together, but Harold didn't look convinced.
"They are going out dude. Besides, I don't even know how to ask her out." Trent said, as he didn't want Harold to speculate about Cody, as that was a contentious topic.
"Just go in heart first, it's how it worked with Leshawna. Oh, how I miss her." Harold said as he lamented.
Jen walked up to both of them, unaware she was the main topic of discussion, "What are you guys talking about?" Jen asked.
"Sports." Trent and Harold said at the same time, to deflect the question.
Back down by the pool, Chef, Chris, and Blaineley were all relaxing by the pool in recliner seats, "Isn't this perfect? Sure, we have to wait for the cash influx, but make the interns fill the pool and we have a full-blown vacation."
"Yep, it's perfect." Blaineley said as the camera zoomed in and showed she now had Chris' phone, while he was unaware.
Duncan, Courtney, and Damien were glaring at Chris for his boastful nature, when at that moment Jo and Owen were heard, "Guys the doc cleared me." Owen yelled out.
"We're good to do the challenge." Jo said as she ran up to her team.
"Owen and Jo are back." Chris announced on his megaphone.
"Oh, that's a relief. I didn't want to do this twice." Trent said in relief, as Jen hugged him from behind which made the guitarist blush.
Back down at the pool, Duncan noticed that Jo and Owen didn't look the happiest, "Owen what's wrong?" Duncan asked. "You aren't your usual happy self."
"Jasmine left the game, as she needed to be in a bigger hospital, I think she'll be fine, but the mood in the medical ward is very somber." Jo explained.
"Yeah, Shawn's really going through it right now, at least he has Gwen, Zoey, and Mickey to comfort him." Owen explained.
Back at the top of the course, Cody and Kitty were in position, "I find this kind of romantic in a way." Cody said.
"Yeah, longboarding in Jamaica, is first date material." Kitty said in a bit of sarcasm.
"I mean it could be-" Cody began to say until he heard an airhorn. "Oh, we're up! Let's go!" Cody cheered out. For Cody and Kitty, they had a couple of rough moments but managed to finish pretty well.
"Oof" Cody and Kitty grunted as they landed at the edge of the pool.
"That has to hurt." Millie noted.
"Are they okay?" Courtney asked.
"The sea lion is going to bark." Cody said, indicating a concussion had happened to him.
"Well, they got a time of 47.63 seconds. Team Stye is up." Chris announced with the megaphone.
"Woo-hoo!" Trent said as he and Jen were going, and Trent said something he thought he was going to regret. "I love you, Jen!" Trent screamed out in pure adrenaline. "Oh crap, I didn't mean too-" Trent quickly backpedaled.
"I love Jamaica too." Jen said, not hearing what Trent said. "Brake!" Jen called out as she and Trent slowed on the last tube and landed softly.
"Well that slow down cost Team Style a few seconds as they are at 49.54 seconds." Chris announced.
"Worth it." Jen said as she climbed out of the empty pool.
Confessional- Jen
"If I have the choice between brain damage or not, I will go with not thank you. I have to imagine someone has a concussion."
Confessional- Cody and Kitty
"How many fingers am I holding up Cody?" Kitty asked as she had 3 fingers up.
"Pie! Yay!" Cody cheered out, still having a concussion and dizzy as he fell over.
"Yep, he is still not great." Kitty said as she looked at the camera.
Back To Scene
"Harold you're up." Chris announced.
"Awesome, I've got this!" Harold cheered out and went very fast, landing quickly and due to his background in figure skating dancing, Harold landed perfectly. "Booyah!"
"Impressive showing Harold, you have a time of 43 seconds flat. Second round is up!" Chris announced with the megaphone again.
"Um, we are all here. You don't have to yell into our ears" Courtney protested.
"Maybe I just feel like it." Chris defended himself, "So because of that you and Scott can go together, same with Duncan and Bowie, lastly Damien and Millie."
Confessional- Courtney
"Stupid Chris."
Back To Scene
At the top of the course, Courtney, Scott, Duncan and Bowie were shown up front, as Duncan whispered over to Bowie "When should I break up with Courtney?" Duncan asked,
"Now could be pretty good." Bowie reasoned.
Duncan took advice from Bowie and walked up to Courtney, "Courtney you and I need to talk."
"Sure, Duncan what's up." Courtney asked.
"Yeah, what's up, Duncan?" Scott said in a hostile tone.
"Scott! Go make sure your helmets are on tightly." Courtney said as Scott walked away, annoyed, "Never mind him, he is just a protective friend, okay, what's going on."
"I don't think we should be together, not right now, not after the show and not after all." Duncan explained.
"Oh dang. He's killing it." Bowie told himself.
"What, why are you saying this?" Courtney asked, confused.
"I've thought about this long and hard, and we aren't good for each other, you keep trying to fix me and I don't need fixing and I bring out the worst in you." Duncan further said,
"What, but I-" Courtney asked, before getting interrupted,
"So, here's how it's going to work with us, from here on out, we are broken up, I am not going to be saddled with being in a relationship and neither are you." Duncan said as he walked back to Bowie.
"What… just happened?" Courtney asked.
"How'd I do?" Duncan asked Bowie, hoping he didn't make a fool of himself.
Bowie felt like Duncan could have done better, but since he wanted to keep all his allies in check, he told Duncan what he wanted to hear, "You nailed it. Good job."
"Are you okay?" Scott asked as Courtney was still in a state of shock, until she tried to lunge towards Duncan, "Woah, woah, calm down Courtney!" Scott pleaded.
"I hate him!" Courtney yelled out.
"Use that anger for the challenge." Scott said as he set himself and Courtney down on the longboard. "I just hope we don't die."
"My contract ensures my safety that I can't die, but I don't know about the others. Hopefully Duncan's contract is not like mine." Courtney growled as she and Scott took off and Scott screamed.
Confessional- Scott
(Is shown in bandages) "Courtney is so hot when she's angry. But it's also scary. Ow! My arm."
Back To Scene
The scene showed that Courtney and Scott were now in the empty pool, as Kitty, Jen, and Cody cringed at the sight. "That has to hurt like an owie." Cody said as he was still somewhat feeling the effects of his concussion.
"Give it up for the helmets!" Chris announced.
"Where's my baby?" Scott said, sounding dizzy himself as he fell to the ground.
"That was a time of 52.34 seconds. Next up is Team Style." Blaineley announced,
At the top, Duncan had a look of resignation on his face, "I hope I did the right thing."
"You did, now let's focus, we have a challenge to win." Bowie called out as they go next and manage to come in a little faster than Scott and Courtney.
"51.75 seconds!" Chris calls out.
"Grr, that is so unfair!" Courtney yelled out as now Jen and Trent were holding her back from further attacking Duncan.
Team Victory's Damien and Millie were up next, "Let's do this." Millie said reluctantly.
"I should have brought a blindfold." Damien said in fear.
"Why a blindfold?" Millie asked.
"I have many fears, and the best way to face them is by not seeing them." Damien explained.
"Go!" Chris announced with the airhorn.
"Let's go." Millie said as her and Damien began going around, however right on the loop Millie got sucked, and made Damien hold onto the board.
"Wah! I am dangling for my life. Help!" Damien yelled out before looking up, and an idea came to his head. "Millie suck in a little. It'll be fine."
Millie did so, reluctantly, as her and Damien finished and flopped to the ground, "A time of 56.49 seconds. Final round, let's go! Here is where we stand, Team Amazon is at 99.97 seconds which is just under a minute 40 seconds, Team Style is at 101.29, which is 1 minute 41 seconds approximately, and Team Victory you guys are at 99.40 seconds, so less than a second separates first and second." Chris announced.
"No pressure." Topher told himself nervously.
"Final round is Anne Maria and Topher, Jo and Owen, and Tyler is with Lindsay. Here we go!" Chris announced.
Final Round/End of Challenge
At the start of the course was the final duos as Lindsay was shown glaring at Tyler, as everyone near them took a step back. "She is kind of scaring me." Topher said.
"I am so nervous about this challenge Jo; I saw what happened with Millie." Owen explained to Jo.
"Trust me Owen, I have a plan. When we get to the loop, I am going to tell you to suck it in, that way we don't slow down. When I say suck, you suck." Jo explained.
Tyler who overheard the conversation laughed, "Heh. Lindsay, don't you think that's funny?" Tyler asked.
"Maybe if you suck enough, you will get more popular." Lindsay told Tyler who was stunned silent.
Topher and Anne Maria were first up, "It's all up to us Topher, maybe this challenge is destiny." Anne Maria beamed in happiness.
"Heh, yeah. We are ready." Topher said uneasily, as he and Anne Maria took off, as Topher was holding on tightly to Anne Maria while she was going aggressively.
"Not so tight!" Anne Maria yelled out at Topher.
"Watch the hair, babe." Topher pleaded.
They ultimately landed as the score showed a time, "53.41 seconds, so you guys are at 153.58 seconds which translates to 2 minutes and 33.5 seconds." Chris said.
"Team Style you're up! Go Jo. Go Owen!" Blaineley called out.
"Jo, I am still so nervous." Owen fearfully said.
"Trust my gut, I won't let you down, I promise." Jo reassured Owen. Jo and Owen soon did the course, and, on the loop, Jo instantly called out, "Suck!" Owen listened and sucked his gut in which allowed for a very fast time.
"Best time of the day. Jo's gamble has given Team Style the lead as Owen and Jo only added 42.09 seconds, so it is a total of 143.38 seconds, so they are over 10 seconds ahead of Amazon." Chris announced.
"Thanks Jo." Owen said as he hugged Jo.
"Owen, I am lacking air." Jo said in a hoarse voice as Owen put her down.
"Team Victory you guys need just under 54 seconds to be safe, and under 44 seconds to get first in general." Chris announced.
Lindsay and Tyler went next, "Oh Tyler, did you pick this board because it would make you the most popular?" Lindsay asked.
"No Lindsay, it was just randomly assigned, and they are all the same." Tyler flatly said as he and Lindsay were going slower than everyone else.
"Why aren't they moving that fast?" Damien asked.
"They are just bickering." Millie noted.
Tyler then stopped the board right before the loop, "Look Lindsay we need to talk things out."
"Well what if I don't want to? Did you ever consider that, heck, you probably want to apologize so it is good for your image?" Lindsay asked. "Now launch us."
"Nope. I am not going too. You are not the Lindsay I love." Tyler said as he raised his voice.
"Well, I don't love someone who only uses me for popularity." Lindsay accused.
"I didn't use you for popularity." Tyler argued back.
"Liar!" Lindsay yelled back. At that moment the air horn went off, "What was that loud noise?" Lindsay asked.
"The timer is done, and that means Team Victory you guys lose, Team Amazon gets 2nd, and Team Style is in first. Team Victory, you have 2 hours to decide who is getting eliminated. You are ripe for choice." Chris announced.
"This isn't good." Harold told himself.
Medical Tent
Back in the medical tent, Shawn was still distressed about Jasmine's departure and was crying, "Jasmine. I miss you so much."
"It's okay Shawn." Gwen said before feeling another effect from the electric eels.
"Should I even stay in this game?" Shawn asked. "Without Jasmine, I have no motivation."
"Just follow your gut Shawn, don't do anything you'll regret. People will understand." Gwen told Shawn as he soon walked out of the medic tent.
Mickey, who was still feeling the effects of the shark attack, overheard the conversation, and was in his medical bed as he said "Oh boy. I hope Shawn is okay."
Cargo Hold
In the cargo hold Geoff, Bridgette, and Brody were shown together, "Dudes now is the time we get rid of Damien." Brody explained.
"I would rather target Millie. I think she's the weakest link." Geoff told his two closest friends.
"But Damien is such a mood killer, he is always scheming dudes, he also never seems like he is never having fun." Brody further said.
"Okay, Bridgette, break the tie, who are we getting rid of babe?" Geoff asked.
"Well, I think we should get rid of Damien. He is a great guy, but he is a huge threat." Bridgette explained.
"Fine, I guess. But next time if we lose, I want to be the one to decide who we get rid of. Also sorry for costing us the advantage." Geoff said.
Confessional- Bridgette
'The real reason why I decided for Damien and not Millie is that if Millie leaves, the only girls left on the team will be Lindsay and I. It would be nice to have a few of us on the team. Sorry Damien."
Jamaican Beach
By the beach shore, Tyler and Damien were shown together, "Wait run that by me again?" Damien asked.
"I am voting myself out, but I don't want to leave." Tyler explained, sounding serious with an unflinching face.
"That is just ridiculous, I get that you want Lindsay back but that isn't the way to do it. Just send Geoff home with Millie and I." Damien said.
"This is the way to do it, as I can't think of another solution." Tyler defended himself. "Also, why Geoff?"
"He is the glue between Bridgette and Brody; besides I am doing this to save you." Damien said.
"That's great buddy, if you get Geoff out. But I am voting myself out and I know Lindsay will do it, so if you want any shot of getting Geoff out, you should probably talk to Harold and Ezekiel." Tyler told Damien.
"Fine, but this conversation is not over." Damien said as he walked back into the plane.
Confessional- Damien
"Is Tyler insane? No, literally is he nuts? We have a chance at over a million dollars, and he wants to potentially give this up for Lindsay. I would only give up if my life is in constant danger. Now I have to work overtime to keep both Tyler and Lindsay safe. I wonder if I should just cut them loose. I like to think I am pretty safe since I didn't cost the team the challenge."
Back To Scene
Not too far from Tyler was Harold, as Damien ran up to him, "What's up Harold?" Damien asked.
"Nothing much. Is something wrong?" Harold asked.
"Just figuring out elimination. Who are you voting out?" Damien asked back, determined to make sure he had another vote against Geoff.
"I am voting Ezekiel out." Harold said as Damien facepalmed. "What?"
"You are wasting your vote on Ezekiel? Seriously." Damien asked.
"I assume Geoff and his group were voting him out as well, his attempts to befriend animals to be my friend are just annoying. Gosh!" Harold defended himself.
"Okay regardless-" Damien began to say until Harold interrupted him.
"That and I know he sent Leshawna home." Harold said, as the camera panned back to Damien who had his thinking face on.
Confessional- Damien
"This is ridiculous. But I have to tell him the truth about Leshawna's vote. I need his vote."
Back To Scene
"Look, you don't know the full truth about Leshawna's elimination, and more so when Cameron was sent home. Do you remember how the Cameron vote went down?" Damien asked.
"Yeah, it went 6-3-2-2. Cameron was sent home, and Leshawna was in the bottom 2 with him. Because Ezekiel, Cameron, and Tyler voted her out." Harold explained back as Damien shook his head. "No?"
"No, Tyler voted Leshawna out. But Millie and I burned our votes on her so you would be mad at Ezekiel." Damien explained.
After a long tension filled pause, Harold spoke up "I don't believe you." Harold said. "He at least sent Leshawna home and voted her out."
"No, I think he is the third vote to save her back in Germany. You know what, screw this. If you are going to burn your game by targeting Ezekiel, enjoy being out of the loop." Damien said.
Confessional- Harold
"Damien is only using me for a vote. He is probably making a bunch of stuff up, so I can help his agenda. There is no way Ezekiel didn't play a role with Leshawna home. He had too. If he leaves, maybe now my game can take off."
Common Area
In the common area, Ezekiel was eating by himself as he sat alone. "I feel bad for whoever leaves tonight eh." Ezekiel told himself as he looked up, "Hey Damien what's-" Ezekiel began to say until Damien interrupted him.
"Yeah, we don't have time. Elimination is in less than 30 minutes. Who are you voting out tonight?" Damien asked in a rush.
"I was tempted to vote off Tyler or Lindsay for costing the challenge, eh." Ezekiel explained.
Damien flinched, however, decided to keep talking, "Are you at least open to other ideas?" Damien asked.
"I am not voting out Harold, I feel like he and I have made great strides in being friends." Ezekiel told Damien with a smile.
"Would you want to target Geoff tonight; he is the biggest threat on the team." Damien explained as the camera flashed to the confessional.
Confessional- Damien
"I know that Geoff, Bridgette, Brody are together, and they probably have Shawn, so I have to strike at them now. I don't think they are targeting me, but they are probably after Lindsay or Tyler. But hopefully they are voting Millie or Lindsay, and I can at least tie the vote with Millie and Ezekiel."
Confessional- Ezekiel
"I don't think Harold is coming for me, but right before Damien talked to me Bridgette said she was voting out Damien, so do I join her and Geoff and send Damien home or do I vote Geoff out. As long as I keep playing this game, eh. I will be fine."
Elimination Ceremony
At the elimination ceremony Team Victory was in the stands as Chris and Chef were shown, with Blaineley nowhere in sight. "Team Victory will go from 11 to 9 in one day. Get to voting." Chris announced.
Confessional- Shawn
"This has to be done."
Confessional- Brody
"This is for the team; I am sorry dude."
Confessional- Tyler
"I want to somehow make this up to Lindsay. This is the first step for that."
Confessional- Damien
"Please have this miracle somehow work."
Confessional- Ezekiel
"Everyone has reasons for leaving eh. But tonight, my vote is for-"
Back To Scene
"This time we will reveal everyone's confessional for this elimination as I imagine you guys have plenty of dirt. However, before I do that, I want to confirm that Jasmine is in much better condition from the accident."
"Oh, thank goodness." Shawn told himself in relief.
Confessional- Geoff
"This isn't my vote, but tonight I am voting out Damien. Sorry dude."
Confessional- Lindsay
"Tyler can take his popularity and shove it back to New Work. I meant New York."
Confessional- Bridgette
"Sorry Damien, no hard feelings."
Confessional- Tyler
"I want to somehow make this up to Lindsay, this is the first step for that. I am voting for myself. Please somehow have me stay."
Confessional- Damien
"Please have this miracle somehow work. Geoff you are too dangerous to keep in this game."
Confessional- Harold
"You need to pay for sending Leshawna home, and enough with the animals. Bye Ezekiel!"
Confessional- Millie
"Sorry Geoff, I can't vote for my allies. But if you have an after-season party I hope to be invited."
Confessional- Brody
"This is for the team. I am sorry dude. Dude, you bring the whole mood of the team down, Damien it is time to go home."
Confessional- Ezekiel
"Everyone has reasons for leaving eh. But tonight, my vote is for Geoff. I hope somehow I can get to the end, and it would be awesome if it was with Harold as well."
Back To Scene
As the confessions settled in, Bridgette spoke up confused about something, "Where's Shawn's confessional?"
"Yeah, are we going to a tie?" Millie asked.
"Guys the TV is showing an image." Brody said.
Confessional- Shawn
"This has to be done; I am not voting anyone out. I am quitting the game."
Back To Scene
"What?!" Everyone on Team Victory sans Shawn said.
Shawn stood up, "Guys I am quitting, I love you all. But even though Jasmine is doing better and winning this game would be amazing. Being with her is more important than any amount of fame or money." Shawn explained.
"Chris dude, do you approve of this?" Brody asked.
"I don't mind, Jasmine is in good condition, but if this is what Shawn wants. I am not going to stop him. Any final words?" Chris asked.
"Guys, please don't lose each other. Have fun. I love you all." Shawn said, and then ran out of the plane. "I'm coming Jasmine!" Shawn yelled out.
Confessional- Damien
"I was inches from getting sent home, if Shawn didn't quit, I would probably be out. But now my game is a mess. But based on those confessionals, it's not Geoff I am after. It's Brody. But I need to survive first."
Confessional- Harold
"Ezekiel wanted to go to the end with me. Was he being genuine? Now I have to rethink everything."
Confessional- Brody
"This elimination was deep man, and everything was exposed, like I was the one time I went to the beach and forgot my swim trunks. Dudes, it was so embarrassing."
End of Episode
Chris was about to announce Team Victory back to Economy Class, when Blaineley showed up. "It's about time you showed up." Chris said.
"Our head boss now knows." Blaineley coldly said.
"Wait what?" Chris said, stunned silent.
"Mr. Strauss, has provided an emergency bus and plane for our next destination tonight, but Chris you are in massive trouble." Blaineley threatened.
"This can't be happening." Chris told himself.
"It is. Attention every Total Drama World Race passenger and contestant, pack your essentials, we have an hour to get to the local bus station, and to get to the airport. Or risk getting left behind." Blaineley said as the episode faded away.

Notes:
So, Jamaica comes and goes, with a double elimination, and like canon no one is voted out but two people are still eliminated and we do lose Jasmine and Shawn.
First off, I wanted to keep the plane crash canon and also have Owen be thrown out, but since there was no Izzy and Team Style was in Economy Class, I decided to have Alejandro force him out continuing their rivalry. Also, this meant having Jasmine out hence the freak accident.
The challenge had to be split up into two parts like canon, but I wanted everyone to have some time in the spotlight so around half and half were in each challenge. I ultimately decided who would fit better with each one, based on the episode for people like Heather, Gwen, and Alejandro. Or with where they were in their plots they needed to be in a certain challenge, with the biggest example being Justin, Tyler, and Lindsay. Now since Tyler was in the bobsled only, I decided that Geoff and Brody would play the role of Tyler in canon.
The musical number was something I wanted since I began this as this was another one of my childhood songs, and while I do love "Oh My Izzy" I wanted this song to be really depressing, hence the song selection.
Now the main plot points, Duncan breaking up with Courtney, this had been building subtly and slowly for a while, and I needed them broken up before the London episode for what I have planned for their plots soon.
This takes us to our boots this chapter, Jasmine and Shawn, and I will talk about them together. For Jasmine and Shawn, I love them in Pahkitew and they were one of the couples I wanted to get together with during the season. However, besides Shawn's role in the first Paris chapter and maybe the New York chapter, neither were emerging as main characters and I knew I needed a double elimination somewhere for a twist that will happen soon-ish. Their storyline was mainly Shawn's small friendship with DJ and Shawn loving how strong and independent Jasmine was. But I knew this couldn't go on too long, as everyone left in Team Victory still has plot left, so I decided that it was best to get rid of them both here, in an unconventional way as well.
Next chapter is Romania, specifically Transylvania as we move back to the Ridonculous Race route so that means Romania, Hawaii, Dubai, China, and Finland are next. Expect some fun challenges and a couple of challenges you may not see coming, with eliminations that may blindside you completely.
In Romania, a secret is revealed, allegiances shift, and a vote out sends another person packing. Stay tuned for that, but if you are reading this whether as a guest or have an account here, please leave review/feedback if you can. It is always appreciated. Until then, bye!
Chapter 17: A Ticket, A Casket, Gonna Blow A Gasket

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- A Ticket, A Casket, Gonna Blow A Gasket
Recap
The show showed only Blaineley sitting at an airplane terminal, "Oh it's me? Okay. Last time on Total Drama World Race." Blaineley began. "We had mechanical issues thanks to one Chris McLean wasting our money. Ending up in Jamaica. No problem except for Jasmine who had to be medically evacuated from the game. Leaving Shawn a mess. Shawn ultimately decided to leave the game, while every confessional exposed everything on Team Victory. Spicy!"
Chris finally spoke up, "We also had on Team Amazon and Team Style, Courtney and Duncan break-up or rather Duncan dumped Courtney. Nothing else interesting happened last time."
"Oh, Chris but it did, you have to meet with our boss in 48 hours. Anyways we have 32 people left in the game and one of these 32 will be eliminated" Blaineley announced as everyone was shown. "Who will it be, find out right here right now on Total Drama World Race."

(End Of Intro)
Bus Terminal
The episode began with everyone on the Jamaican beach with a bus in front of them as everyone was holding onto their luggage, with Chris, Blaineley, and Chef leading the way. Chef had a neutral expression, while Blaineley was smirking, "This is a load of bullshit." Chris said bitterly. "It's totally unfair."
"Unfair? You used company money on your brother. You are lucky you still have a job." Blaineley told Chris.
"Whatever, I have to talk to Don Strauss later this week." Chris said looking bitterly. "Where did he want us to go anyway without a jet?"
"Romania, specifically Transylvania." Blaineley explained as many contestants flinched.
One person however had a look of borderline excitement, and that was Gwen. "Ooh spooky. I am actually looking forward to a challenge for once."
"Fun fact. Romania and Transylvania are home of majestic mountains, old Saxon architecture, and is the birthplace of the heebie-jeebies." Harold explained.
"Um dude, that last one is just a feeling. Not an actual physical thing." Damien said as they stepped onto the bus.
Inside Bus
Inside the bus everyone was shown sitting in duos with the cameras showing Bridgette and Geoff in focus with Brody and Duncan behind them while Millie and Lindsay were in front of them. "Geoff, please take this challenge seriously. You could have been eliminated last time had Shawn not quit."
Geoff was looking out the window, and wasn't intently listening to Bridgette, "Sure babe. Don't worry." Geoff reassured Bridgette.
"Also don't goof off with Brody today. I know he is your best friend. But we need to keep our heads in the game today." Bridgette told Geoff.
"I will babe. Stop worrying so much babe." Geoff reassured Bridgette. "We've got this challenge in the bag today."
A couple of rows back was Harold and Ezekiel in a pair of seats, with a change of events of Ezekiel being annoyed that Harold was sitting next to him. Harold however was hoping that Ezekiel would forgive him for voting him out less than 24 hours ago. "Romania is one of the beautiful countries, Ezekiel." Harold told him.
"That's great eh." Ezekiel said looking out the window, not really paying attention to Harold.
Confessional- Ezekiel
"I never thought I would make it this far eh. I was first voted out. I somehow survived the first vote. But since I now know Harold is blaming me for sending Leshawna home. I don't think he and I should work together, unless we have too eh."
Confessional- Harold
"Chris exposing the confessionals has blown my game up. Ezekiel wanted to go to the end with me, and now the dude is blanking me. Gosh. What's frustrating is that I am stuck with him. Because Geoff and Brody are going after Damien and I would assume Millie. Which leaves me and Ezekiel right in the middle. Now that the confessionals exposed everything, I need to figure out who to side with, and how I have to incorporate Ezekiel into my game as he and I are stuck together. Wish me luck. Gosh."
Back To Scene
Back on the bus, a few rows behind Harold and Ezekiel was Cody and Kitty sitting together with Cody having his arm around Kitty as she took a selfie with them together. "Come on Cody, next time show the gap in your teeth. It's cute." Kitty whined.
"I will just not now." Cody pouted.
"Man, I wouldn't have minded just staying in Jamaica for a couple of days. Such a lovely place to vacation. I took pictures if you want to see them." Kitty told Cody who was looking at the other end of the bus and saw Mickey talking to Zoey. "What's wrong Cody?"
"Just worried for Mickey." Cody said.
"He'll be fine, we can trust Zoey. She has his best interest in mind, and their friendship is kind of cute." Kitty told Cody who looked reassured.
"Yeah, their friendship is kind of cute. I am happy he is branching out. I just don't want to lose him as a friend." Cody said sadly. "I still feel bad we didn't help him with the last challenge."
"You worry too much. Now can we get back to cuddling before we are inevitably on a plane to Romania in the next hour." Kitty asked and as such Cody obliged.
Airport
The next scene shows everyone in an airport lobby as Blaineley was once again shown upfront "Until the Total Drama Jumbo Jet gets fixed, we are going to be flying commercially for the time being." Blaineley explained. "First place will get upper class on the flights if possible. The other two get coach class on the plane."
"At least we aren't having to be in the cargo hold." Courtney said as she rolled her eyes.
"That could be arranged." Chris said as he laughed.
"You are already in enough trouble with our boss so you should just be quiet." Blaineley threatened.
Confessional- Courtney
"Chris is lucky that Scott was with me. Otherwise, I would have let him have it."
Luxury Class
Team Style was relaxing in luxury class on the way to Romania with some enjoying a jacuzzi, while others enjoyed the drink bar. For 2 people however they were sitting in the jacuzzi trying to strategize or rather talk about their ire, aka Alejandro. Those two being Jo and Owen. "I feel like I'm going to have to sleep with one eye open after Alejandro shoved me out of the plane yesterday."
"Trust me he will regret that and I will get payback against him." Jo said.
The camera panned over to Noah, Sky, and Julia who were actually strategizing as Julia still wanted to topple Bowie's alliance. "I still haven't made any progress with getting any of Alejandro, Jo, or Owen to our side." Julia complained.
"Well since Alejandro shoved Owen out of the plane, I doubt they are going to work together. I don't blame Owen." Noah said sarcastically.
"I'm going to make one more push to get Alejandro to our side for this one vote. If not we need to find the crack in that alliance," Julia explained.
"Let me guess you want us to still recruit Jo and Owen?" Sky asked.
"Of course I do." Julia confidently said as she stood up and walked away to apply makeup.
"This whole thing seems risky." Noah said as he looked at Sky for reassurance.
"Look Noah, I have my doubts but if there is a group of 4 or 5 on this team and there are only 11 of us, then we don't have much time." Sky explained. "Just promise me it's us two until the end?"
"I promise." Noah said as he had a slight smile on his face.
Confessional- Noah
"Julia's right and she has a point. But Owen and I agreed to vote separately but we may need to work together again. What's not helping is that while Owen's my best friend, I voted Brick out who Owen was just bonding with, so maybe he holds that against me. Here's hoping today I can get him to my side again."
Back To Scene
Jen, Bowie, and Justin were all shown sitting together in a trio of seats, with Jen and Bowie looking very excited, while Justin was looking at the ground solemnly. Jen was reading a fashion magazine, before pulling something out of her luggage, "What do you boys think about this dress, I got from Jamaica?" Jen asked as it showed a tropical dress with a bright green pattern.
"Oh girl, wear that next challenge. You could pull it off. You've got the body for it." Bowie said in an excited tone.
"It's fine, I guess." Justin said not looking at Jen, instead looking at the ground.
"Come on Justin, cheer up. This luxury class is even better than First Class. We have a jacuzzi for goodness sake." Jen said, trying to encourage Justin.
"Whatever. Leave me alone." Justin bitterly said.
"Fine, I will go see how Trent is doing." Jen said, as she stood up and walked away as she was left confused about Justin's state.
"Justin, whatever's bugging you. You can tell me. I have your back no matter what and look at you as a genuine friend." Bowie said, trying to comfort his closest ally.
"Damn it! Can everyone just leave me alone?! I am fine." Justin said as he punched the counter. "Ow my hand! There goes hand modeling. Thanks Bowie." Justin said sarcastically as he stood up and walked up to the wall where the pilots were on the other side.
Confessional- Bowie.
"I have to get Justin out of this funk he has been in since Paris. All my allies need to be in top shape and honestly, he is sounding kind of pathetic right now. It's embarrassing."
Passenger Class
In the passenger class, was all of Team Victory and Team Amazon as the camera zoomed in on Millie and Damien sitting together as Millie spoke up, "I really hope we win the challenge after we biffed it so badly in Jamaica. Damien, are you listening to me?"
Damien who was looking around trying to find where Tyler and Lindsay had just found them as Tyler was sitting a row over and in the middle with Harold and Ezekiel in between both of them, as all 3 were talking about their time on the Killer Bass while Lindsay was reluctantly sitting next to Courtney and Scott a couple rows behind where Tyler was. Damien sat back down and looked at Millie "Sorry Millie, just making sure neither Tyler or Lindsay can hear us."
"Why, they are our allies and friends?" Millie said in confusion at Damien's statement as she looked at Lindsay as her closest ally especially.
"I just think we need to aim for better allies." Damien explained. "I have had to be Damien's therapist since he screwed up with Lindsay back in Newfoundland. I can't do it anymore. We have to look elsewhere. He just cries and pouts the whole trip here with me about missing Lindsay, yet he does nothing about it." Damien ranted.
"Who would you even want to align with, you almost went home less than 24 hours ago?" Millie asked.
"Bridgette and Harold are pretty sane, and while I am not a huge fan of him. We could get Ezekiel as a fifth vote and form a new group." Damien said.
"First of all good luck prying Bridgette off of Geoff game wise. They took a break dating but she will never turn against him. Also I am not betraying Tyler and Lindsay after all we have done so far." Millie further stated.
Confessional- Damien
"Tyler whether intentional or not he has played Lindsay's heart, and I don't want to be aligned with someone who would be willing to play their girlfriend for a fool. Not to mention he cared about popularity and I am not a therapist. I am here to win a million dollars so if I have to cut Tyler loose. I have to. Millie will understand."
Confessional- Millie
"I am not ready to just leave Tyler and Lindsay behind. They do not deserve to go home. I just don't get what is going through Damien's head."
Back To Scene
Back in the regular class for the plane was Gwen, Ella, and Katie sitting together in the middle as the conversation picked up on Gwen, "Yep my little brother trapped me in a cedar chest when we were growing up on accident and that is what caused my claustrophobia. It's only in really tight spaces though."
"That's so unfortunate." Katie said as she looked in shock.
"I also got trapped in one of my family gatherings." Gwen said as she flinched at the ground looking down.
"That wasn't too bad. Besides I saved you." Ella said.
"You saved me because while your singing is good I wanted to get out of the tree and not deal with any more jolly singing." Gwen explained.
"Jolly? Was it a Christmas tree you were stuck in?" Katie asked.
"Yep, a really ugly one too." Gwen bitterly said.
"Come on, that Christmas tree was beautiful with the cute ornaments and the mini train set underneath." Ella explained as the camera panned to Gwen rolling her eyes.
Confessional- Gwen
"Playing with my cousin Ella is a blessing and a curse. On the one hand she will never betray me, but now that it's common knowledge, it has made me worried as I could be a target. It's not like I am in a position of power on this team as I am close to the bottom with Courtney, and Scott. But if I am in a known duo with Ella, I could take the hit if myself, Courtney, or Scott get targeted. I also want to somehow make sure us 3 stay safe, but I don't know how."
Pre-Challenge
The plane had now landed in Romania as everyone was making their way outside, "Ugh it's raining today, seriously?" Anne Maria asked as she complained wishing she was anywhere else.
As everyone walked outside in the rain, Blaineley had a smug grin on her face, "What does everyone think of Romania?"
"It's cold, wet and scary. How do you think we feel?" Heather said in anger.
"Yeah, this place is kind of scary. I would never revisit this place ever." Cody said, as he held onto Kitty tightly.
"I'm just scared of the werewolves. Vampires I can deal with. But werewolves make me scared, and I'm doused in fear." Mickey said as he was shaking, with Zoey comforting him, by rubbing his shoulder to calm him down.
"Yep, never coming back here ever again." Cody said blankly.
"Today's challenge is a race style. Here's how it works. Each team will have groups of 3 to 4. Mow Team Style has 2 groups of 4, and a group of 3. Team Amazon will have 4 groups of 3." Chris explained.
"Each of your groups will have two of you run towards Dracula's castle and find a coffin where one member will carry another one to the graveyard nearby." Blaineley said, trying to sound excited.
"Is someone going to die? We are going to a graveyard and that has dead people!" Damien asked in fear.
"Whoa, whoa. Of course not. After you get approved by a grave digger that we apparently decided to contact for the challenge. You both will ride horses to a local gymnasium where the final member will do a gymnastic exercise with a member from before encouraging them in the gymnasium. Now for the groups of 4, they will have a person at the graveyard that will have to ride the horses." Chris said.
"Once the gymnastic exercise is done. Race back here to the entrance to the airport, the last group that finishes loses it for your team." Blaineley finished.
"What are the groups?" Trent asked.
"For Team Victory it is Tyler, Lindsay, and Damien. Harold, Ezekiel, and Bridgette are a trio. Which leaves Geoff, Brody, and Millie as a trio." Chris said as Damien didn't want to be with Tyler and Lindsay. Harold was at least interested in having Bridgette in his trio, while Millie was nervous since she had just voted out Geoff.
"I am so excited to work with you, Millie!" Geoff told Millie in excitement. However, Millie still had a look of apprehension.
"Thank you." Millie said, in a quiet tone of voice.
"For Team Amazon, Heather, Courtney and Scott are a group." Chris announced.
"This is such bullshit. Why am I partnered with Heather?" Courtney asked.
"Do I look like I give a shit? Anyways, I have enough crap to deal with. Other groups are Gwen, Ella, and Katie." Chris stated in a tone that was growing more annoyed.
"Yay!" Katie and Ella cheered out.
"Next group is Topher, Zoey, and.." Chris said as many expected Anne Maria to be announced next, but instead it was "Mickey."
"What?" Mickey and Anne Maria said at the same time.
"Last group is Kitty, Cody, and Anne Maria." Blaineley announced as she enjoyed Anne Maria's anger at the situation.
"This won't be as scary since we are on a team together now." Mickey said as he walked up to Zoey.
Topher then walked up to both Zoey and Mickey while putting an arm around both of them, startling Mickey, "That's right we are the dream team of friendship. We got this!" Topher cheered until he looked away in fear.
"You're telling me, I get stuck with the couple that hasn't been together as long as me and my man have been? This is so unfair. My man is also so much better than her man," Anne Maria said in anger.
"Whatever Anne Maria." Cody said as he rolled his eyes.
"The feeling is mutual with both of us, Anne Maria." Kitty said as she gave Cody a kiss on the cheek, making the geek blush.
"Last up is Team Style. The first group is Owen, Noah, Jo, and Sky." Chris announced as Julia gave a silent cheer, happy that Noah and Sky could persuade Owen and Jo to their side. "Second group is Bowie, Trent, Justin, and Duncan, which leaves Alejandro, Julia and Jen as a group of 3. We will give you guys 2 minutes to decide who is doing what challenge." Chris concluded.
"I want to get out of the rain as soon as possible so I will do gymnastics." Jen quickly said.
"But I am more agile, so I should-" Alejandro began to say.
"It's fine, let Jen do it. She will be fine by herself." Julia said as she shoved Alejandro aside.
Confessional- Julia
"This could not have worked out better. Jen wanted to do gymnastics, so I can now get Alejandro to my side. Better yet, Jo and Owen are with Sky and Noah. This could not have worked out better!"
Confessional- Lindsay
Lindsay was shown with smeared makeup and eyeliner all over her face. "This place freaks me out. I probably already look ugly, and Tyler is probably going to not even talk to me like usual since all he cares about is popularity. With me looking like this, he will probably say I am ugly. Yeah, I am still upset at what Tyler did in Newfoundland. But Damien insisted he would do gymnastics"
Confessional- Zoey
"Topher and I agreed to have Mickey do the gymnastics as Transylvania is scaring him too much. I do get to spend more time with Topher, but as a friend, as I am so over him." Zoey said as her eye twitched at the end.
Confessional- Gwen
"My group decided to have myself do gymnastics as Katie and Ella wanted to spend more time together. Maybe if we do lose, I could save my own skin."
Beginning Of Challenge
In the pouring rain, stood each of the duos at the start line, for Team Amazon it was Courtney and Scott, Cody and Kitty, Ella, and Katie, along with Topher and Zoey. For Team Style the duos are Owen and Noah, Justin and Bowie, and Alejandro with Julia. Lastly for Team Victory the duos are Lindsay and Tyler, Geoff, and Brody, and lastly Harold and Ezekiel.
"Go!" Blaineley and Chris yelled out as each duo took off.
As each of the duos took off and began running uphill, Brody and Geoff took an early lead due to being in such physical shape "Dude you are doing amazing." Brody complimented his best friend.
"Thanks dude, you know it." Geoff happily said, still focusing on the challenge, taking Bridgette's words from earlier to heart.
In another part of the race was an angry Courtney and a lovestruck Scott, quickly gaining ground on a lot of teams. "Back off and move it, we are in it to win it!" Courtney yelled out. Courtney and Scott's burst of momentum worked until they were running up against Alejandro and Julia. "Move it!" Courtney yelled out.
Julia however decided that she was going to keep letting her nasty side show, "Oops, I didn't see you there." Julia sarcastically said as she shoved Scott aside down the hill.
"Ow, fuck my leg." Scott yelled out in pain as he came tumbling down the mountain.
Scott ended up crashing and knocking down Tyler and Lindsay as well, "Lindsay, no!" Tyler yelled out in pain himself and saw Lindsay hurt.
Courtney gasped and saw what Julia did, and immediately knew what she had to do, "No one messes with my best friend like that!" Courtney yelled as she tackled both Alejandro and Julia in another fit of anger.
Confessional- Julia
"Okay, note to self. If I ever get the chance to take out Courtney, I will. Look what she did to my hair, it's all muddy and gross now!"
Confessional- Courtney
"I don't know what got in me to attack Julia, and I guess Alejandro. I probably will apologize to him later. But seeing Scott hurt made my protective side come out as he has always been there for me so far."
Gymnasium
The scene shifts to the gymnasium where everyone who wasn't taking part in the first challenge was waiting for their teammates to show up. Millie and Bridgette were shown talking with Damien. "Am I being unreasonable for wanting Geoff to take the game seriously?" Bridgette asked.
"It's fine to think that we need everyone on the team focused during the challenges. But I wouldn't alienate Geoff either." Millie explained.
"Right. Oh, and Damien, I am uh, I am sorry for voting you out last time." Bridgette said as she looked down at the ground away from Damien.
"Oh, it's fine girl. I forgive you. As a matter of fact, I would like to work with you in the future." Damien explained.
"Wow I am shocked. Thanks Damien." Bridgette exclaimed in a shocked tone. "I will definitely consider it."
Confessional- Bridgette
"With everything that went down when Shawn quit, and the votes being revealed. Working with Millie and Damien might not be a bad thing. I am still most loyal to Geoff, but maybe I could bring both Geoff and Brody along with Millie and Damien together. Or maybe just Geoff."
Back To Scene
Another part of the gym was Team Style's 3 of Jo, Duncan, and Jen as Trent and Sky volunteered to stand in the graveyard. "Oh, I am going to destroy this challenge." Jo confidently said.
"Well of course you are, probably been mistaken for a guy before." Duncan said in a snarky tone.
"Piss off piercings. I know I can do this better than you." Jo said as she got in Duncan's face.
"I just don't want to break a nail. Romania has no nail salon places I can relax in. So, the pressure is on me." Jen said, with the camera panning to Jo's unphased face and Duncan rolling his eyes.
Confessional- Duncan
"So, one thing about our team overall is that no one takes Jen seriously. Even her closest friend and future boyfriend Trent probably sees her as an easy ticket to win and get his music career started. All Jen does is focus on her looks, and she is a total airhead. The thing is though, she is such a non-threat she isn't even worth taking out."
Confessional- Jen
"Okay so maybe there are no nail salons around here. But maybe I can sneak in a bit of shopping afterwards."
Back To Scene
Lastly in the gymnasium was Team Amazon with Anne Maria, Gwen, Mickey and Heather, none of them were the happiest at all, as Anne Maria was angry, she couldn't spend any time with Topher, Gwen wanted to enjoy Transylvania but decided to let Katie and Ella lead their trio, but since she was in the gymnasium with both Heather and Anne Maria. Heather was also just in a bad mood. Mickey wasn't happy, but instead of being angry, he was overall scared as he looked at the gymnastic equipment and all confidence, he could have had shattered.
"I can't believe that ass Chris thinks it's okay to separate me from Topher, while Kitty and Cody get to spend more time together." Anne Maria complained out loud.
Gwen had snapped at that moment as this was all Anne Maria was complaining about since they entered the gym. "Oh, just shut it up and shove it. Maybe Topher will hang out with you more if you lose some junk in the trunk." Gwen said as she yelled in Anne Maria's face.
Heather and Mickey both heard that as both backed up, "I can't believe she said that." Heather said in astonishment.
"You're getting a smackdown beatdown!' Anne Maria could be heard yelling off screen.
Confessional- Heather
"I can't believe Gwen used an insult I used back in Season 1. Maybe she will be the new me. Nah, she could never fall to my level. Nor would I want her too. But with Anne Maria and Gwen fighting each other, that left me talking with Mickey. The kid's a loser but talking to him was kind of interesting."
Back To Scene
"Okay Mickey, I heard you and Cody talking, and you are afraid of werewolves and that's why you are in the gymnasium with us?" Heather asked as she walked up to Mickey.
"That's right. It's no big deal." Mickey said, looking away trying to get the conversation over with and think about anything else.
Heather had a smirk on her face, and saw an opportunity arise. "If it's no big deal, do you mind telling me why you are so afraid of werewolves?" Heather asked, determined to find out more about Mickey.
"It's kind of embarrassing." Mickey shyly said.
"Oh, come on. I literally had my boobs exposed on international television." Heather said defensively.
"Ew gross. That sounds horrible." Mickey noted, feeling sympathy for Heather.
"Exactly, so it can't be that embarrassing so tell me." Heather demanded.
Mickey thought for a second, but knew deep down this information could be harmless. "When I was six my brother and I had a babysitter, and my brother took a nap along with the babysitter. She had an 80s film on, a werewolf called an "American Werewolf In London", I was actually fine with it until the transformation scene which traumatized me and made me feel very weird inside beyond the trauma. Ever since then werewolves and the mere thought of them scares me." Mickey explained.
"I assume the babysitter was fired?" Heather asked.
"Oh, in a heartbeat and after that we were sent to daycare. Still the mere thoughts of wolves scare me." Mickey explained as he shuddered in fear.
"Okay and not to change the topic but how are you feeling about doing gymnastics?" Heather asked.
"If I don't end up with bruises, I will be happy today." Mickey said as he had a slight smile on his face. "Thanks for not judging me by the way."
Confessional- Mickey
"At this point, talking about stuff that happened while growing up is getting easier. But like I always say, some things need to stay hidden."
Main Challenge
The scene cuts to Courtney who is still wrestling Julia to the ground, "Apologize for shoving Scott to the ground now!" Courtney demanded.
"Never. He is disgusting and probably enjoys the dirt." Julia yelled back.
"You aren't sunshine and rainbows either Julia!" Courtney yelled in even more anger.
"Come on, senoritas calm down." Alejandro said as he walked up to both of them, however Courtney smacked him in the face. "Ow!"
"Haha! Never mess with Courtney being scorned. Alejandro!" Scott laughed.
"Well, you should calm her down then, as she is your girl now that Duncan dumped her..." Alejandro said as he tried to shove Scott into the two girls wrestling only to miss and fall in the ground. "Ow my beautiful face."
"Karma." Scott sternly said.
Confessional- Scott
"Courtney is not my girl. I mean yes, I do like her, but she can't know that. Game first, then Courtney. I wouldn't mind throwing the challenge, but Courtney barely survived the last elimination, so I have to try my best. I will say Julia and Alejandro are both so annoying."
Top Of The Hill
At the top of the hill in Romania, Owen and Noah were shown together as there were 10 stickers that said, 'Pull Me!' "Ooh pull me! Like my finger." Owen said.
"Not now!" Noah yelled in fear as Owen pulled the sticker. Both Owen and Noah entered the castle, "It's nice to have both of us alone and able to talk strategy." Noah said as he entered,
"Yeah, I assume we can finally get rid of Al." Owen said, looking around.
Noah flinched and remembered that Alejandro wasn't a part of the alliance of 5 that Julia mentioned, "Yeah about that, what if we don't send Alejandro home?" Noah asked in a meek tone.
"Not send him home?! Noah, he shoved me out of a plane! How am I not supposed to vote him out?" Owen yelled out.
"We can get rid of Alejandro next time, but I've heard rumors about an alliance of 5 people that doesn't include either of us, and we have to strike before they pick either of us off." Noah explained.
"Noah, what about Brick?" Owen asked.
"What about Brick? What's your point?" Noah asked back.
"You sent him home; I was just making a new best friend, and you sent him home!" Owen said as he grew sadder, remembering that Brick was no longer in the game.
"Look, I am sorry. Julia told me that voting out Brick was the best thing for all of us." Noah explained back. "Okay what does the sticker say?" Noah asked, trying to change the conversation.
"Whoever holds the sticker has to enter the coffin." Owen said.
"Fuck my life." Noah bemoaned.
Confessional- Owen
"It's weird to have a strategy talk with Noah. He wants to keep Al, even though he torments me. Noah already voted out Brick, and if I hear that Jo is in danger. I will protect her, and maybe Julia or Sky will be fair game once Alejandro is gone. I don't want to hurt my little buddy, but he also hurt me."
Confessional- Noah
"Ugh! Even getting Owen onto my side for this vote is already challenging. I am doing this because Julia wants too, and I want to trust she knows what she's doing. But I am so over these schemes she comes up with. Aligning with Sky has been great. But I am just annoyed with Julia."
Dracula's Castle
Inside the castle was another duo shown, this being Tyler and Lindsay. "This place is just so creepy. The fact that Dracula is alive and owns this castle. I'm scared.
"Yeah." Tyler said in a monotone voice, trying to focus on ending this challenge. "What did you say?"
"Oh now you want to know more about me? Why did you vote yourself out last time?" Lindsay asked angrily.
"I voted myself out for you. I wanted you to know that I don't want to be more popular anymore and if that means sacrificing myself. I will. Just please know that I regret that Linds." Tyler pleaded.
"I…. I still don't believe you. When I voted myself out accidentally last season, it was humiliating, but it was also what I am most remembered for… so…" Lindsay said as her voice began to trail off.
"So what?" Tyler asked.
"So you're just voting for yourself for popularity. So don't bother doing that to appease me." Lindsay angrily said. "You never cared for me."
"Wait what? I never cared for you? Lindsay I love you. I-" Tyler began to say until he was interrupted.
"Don't even talk to me. Figure out why you messed up and maybe I will talk to you again." Lindsay said as she defiantly walked away.
Confessional- Tyler
Tyler is at first shown crying in the confessional, "How am I going to make this up to Lindsay? She sees me as a total asshole. I don't even know where to start, wish Damien would actually give me advice. Wait a minute…"
Back To Scene
In another part of Dracula's Castle was Julia and Alejandro recovering from the earlier scuffle, "Look Alejandro, I need to give you the rundown on the dynamics of our team." Julia explained, as she looked out the window of Dracula's Castle.
"Oh come on. We both know the dynamics." Alejandro confidently said.
"Really, so you know that Bowie is in a 5 person alliance that is going to dominate the game?" Julia asked.
Alejandro winced in his head as he felt like for a second he didn't know, but he then came up with who would be in Bowie's alliance of 5. "Yep I know."
"Well then we should work together to dismantle another group." Julia suggested with an evil smirk.
"I like the way you think. I'm pretty sure the people in the alliance are." Alejandro suggested,
"Oh really, who would they be?" Julia asked, expecting him to say all of Bowie's alliance and their names.
"Well it's Bowie, Justin, Noah, Jo, and Owen with Sky as their 6th vote to pull her along." Alejandro said, unaware his readings were so wrong as while he had Bowie and Justin pegged, the other 4 were people that Julia wanted Alejandro to work with. Julia facepalmed at what was said. Alejandro didn't see that however as he walked away smugly.
Confessional- Julia
"Alejandro is the most frustrating player. My whole plan hinges on him, and he doesn't think this through at all. Heck it would be tempting to just do an easy consensus and send his ass packing. But I need him as a distraction for others for now. But I need to find another person to flip. Maybe Noah is right that there's a crack in the alliance. That's the best shot I've got to get payback on Bowie."
Confessional- Alejandro
"Julia thinks she is so smart, but I know that people like Owen, Noah, and Jo aren't to be trusted and are the biggest liars on the team."
Back To Scene
Next duo was Harold and Ezekiel, as Harold was leaning against the wall when a secret door, "Oh this is awesome! A secret passageway. There's bound to be a coffin in here somewhere." Harold said as he walked in excitedly.
"Whatever." Ezekiel said as he walked in, looking around scared but also annoyed.
"Come on dude, what's your damage?" Harold asked.
"My damage is that I wanted to go to the end with you, and you voted me out. When I have made a conscious effort to build a bridge between us eh. But you don't trust me. Hell I was the one person who joined you and Leshawna to vote out Tyler. Tyler's one of the people I want to be friends with as well. But I chose you eh. This is how you repay me!" Ezekiel sternly said.
"I'm uh, I'm sorry." Harold sadly said.
"Look, I am not mad at you. Okay maybe I am mad eh. But I will not hold a grudge. We are teammates and nothing more, if we have to work together we will but for now. We are just teammates." Ezekiel explained.
"Okay, I guess." Harold said.
"Okay now get in the damn coffin, eh." Ezekiel said as Harold looked nervous and spoke up.
"Can we have a coffin that is better material?" Harold asked
"Fine, but we've got to be quick eh." Ezekiel said walking away.
Another Section Of The Castle
In another section was Geoff and Brody who were with Kitty and Cody, both duos enjoying their time together, "Congrats again on the happy couple, again." Geoff said, as Cody and Kitty continued holding hands.
"Ooh dudes, this looks like a moose. I wonder what'd be like to have a pet moose?" Brody said as he pet the moose head on the wall.
"Hey guys maybe, we should split up since we are on different teams. But it's great talking to you guys." Cody said as he and Kitty went another direction to talk alone.
"See ya later dudes!" Brody yelled out cheerfully.
As Cody and Kitty walked away, Cody looked out a window. "Do you think we can see the gymnasium from here?"
"Let me guess, you are still worried for Mickey?" Kitty asked.
"Yes." Cody said as he saw Kitty frown. "Oh come on don't give me that look. You know I care for you first and foremost. It's just that Mickey's like a little brother I never had. Since you know no siblings. So I'm always going to be protective of him."
"Fair enough, but you shouldn't be worried. He has Gwen, Heather, and Anne Maria with him." Kitty said.
"Is being with Anne Maria really a good thing?" Cody asked as he joked a bit.
"Fair enough. But as long as he has Gwen and maybe even Heather with him, he'll be fine, besides he doesn't want you to get distracted." Kitty explained.
Cemetery
At the challenge graveyard was Sky and Trent. For Trent he didn't have much going on in his mind. Sky was creeped out by the place but wanted to ask Trent something, "Man this place is scary. Hey Trent, are you in an alliance with Justin and Bowie? Feels like you guys all get along."
"Yeah I get along well with Justin and Bowie, but that doesn't mean we are in an alliance. Heck we could get along and work together." Trent said in an unconvincing tone.
"Okay that makes sense. Steer clear of the grave digger though." Sky said as Trent turned his back away from Sky as she mouthed no.
Confessional- Sky
"Well, that confirms that there's an alliance with those guys, and probably Jen. But Jen is a non threat so she is a non factor. I love Jen as a person, it's just that she isn't a threat in the game and if that alliance gets destroyed maybe she can be the extra vote Noah, and I need."
Castle
Back in the castle, Harold and Ezekiel had finally made their way to where the coffins were. "Oh my gosh. The material is amazing. Check this one out, it's oakwood with a corinthian interior. Amazing!" Harold awed.
Ezekiel however was less than impressed and pushed Harold into said coffin. "We have a challenge to win, eh. Let's go."
"Fine, take me to the grave digger then." Harold said in a confident tone which weirded Ezekiel out.
Ezekiel was carrying the coffin, and admittedly was impressed with the coffin, "Wow this coffin is impressive. Nowhere near as flimsy as the ones with some of my animals' back home."
"I'm telling you, the people who made these coffins knew how to make these coffins last. It probably helped that they were made during the bubonic plague." Harold explained.
Graveyard
Back at the graveyard a fair number of teams were finishing as the camera showed Courtney and Zoey pushing their partners into the coffins. "Wait Zoey, didn't you guys take longer to get up?" Courtney asked.
"Topher and I found a shortcut to the coffins. Provided he isn't doing the best." Zoey explained.
"Get me out of this thing! My hair is probably all messed up." Topher said as Zoey pushed his coffin in and Courtney did at the same time with Scott.
"Where's the grave digger?" Scott asked as he got out of his coffin, as Trent pointed to a very scary looking man. "Oh gosh that dude freaks me out."
"Yeah he is no ice cream man that's for sure." Topher said as he peaked out of the coffin. "Oh, Zoey, how's my hair?"
"Here, I have a makeup mirror." Zoey said as she handed it to Topher.
"Not a scratch or hair out of place. Thanks Zoey." Topher said as she hugged Zoey, "You're a great friend to have." Topher hugged Zoey as both then saw Noah pushing Owen with the coffin.
"I heard ice cream. Where is it?" Owen asked as Noah pushed him into the coffin next.
"I'll go with Sky for the horse's big guy. You did a great job in the coffin." Noah said as Owen gave him a bear hug. "Owen I can't breathe."
"Sorry buddy, have fun with your future girlfriend." Owen teased.
"Owen, her and I are just friends and allies." Noah said as he walked away, with Owen giving a knowing smirk, as he felt like Noah was lying and in denial.
Another duo that showed up was Alejandro and Julia, with Julia making quick work of the coffin and literally tossed Alejandro in the coffin, "Ow my face." Alejandro cried out.
"What he had it coming." Julia said as Trent flinched at how Julia treated Alejandro, before looking at the sky so Julia couldn't see him being annoyed.
Coffin Area
Back in the castle, Justin and Bowie arrived where there was only a couple or coffins left. "Ugh let's just get this over with." Justin grunted.
"Wait. Let's talk. What's wrong?" Bowie asked.
"Nothing is wrong. I don't get why you care so much for how I am doing, when I am doing fine overall." Justin snapped back, as he glared at Bowie,
"There is something wrong. Ever since Paris the second time in the Louvre. What's wrong?" Bowie asked.
Justin sighed in annoyance and defeat. "Okay look, what is about to be said, can't be repeated at all. I know this will air. But I want to tell you first."
"Okay."
"I mean it Bowie, this is something I've been fighting with for awhile and as my closest ally, you better respect it." Justin further explained.
"Justin, I trust you. What's going on?" Bowie said as he looked in concern.
"Okay, growing up, I always assumed I was straight. It's what my parents told me, and the same applies for the modeling world. I was told a male model liking guys would never sell well at all. But attracting the women would help and make me more famous. Hell, before the first season I dated Izzy.' Justin explained,
"Izzy? Wait, isn't she that crazy person who was always grossly making out with Owen?" Bowie asked.
"Yep she was the one. Trust me, I was dumb, horny and misguided at best." Justin explained. "Anyways, during the first two seasons everything was screaming inside that I wasn't straight, but I felt like if I ever showed anything outside of what my folks wanted. My career would be over. So I bottled it up, and kept to myself. Didn't talk to pretty much anyone." Justin further said as he looked out the window.
"That's why you didn't speak to anyone. Wow I had no idea. Please continue." Bowie asked.
"So when the million dollar briefcase was introduced at the end of the first season. I of course wanted to win it, but I also wanted this second chance for me to figure out more about myself. So I flirted with Sadie and Katie, then with Beth and Lindsay in the season, hell I tried to steal Courtney from Duncan, so I did realize I was attracted to women, but then The Drama Brothers came along and made me realize even more things that I wasn't ready to confront."
"Oh right, that boy band, what happened with that stuff?" Bowie asked back, as Justin was still walking around explaining everything in his life story.
"So yeah, we make the band, and those 3 guys, Cody, Harold, and Trent are amazing, but all I am comfortable saying is that two of us had an experience that I think both deep down confirmed some things. But they aren't ready to admit it, and a friendship with one of my guys in the band was ruined." Justin said as he had a tear in his eye as the camera zoomed in. "I'm not telling who, as it's their business to tell."
"Okay I won't ask who the other guy was. Do you mind continuing?"
"Right, so heading into this season, I wanted a redemption for my image. I fooled myself the previous season, and while the tabloid rumors had so many theories nothing was ever proven, but then Julia said what she said in Paris and called each of us boyfriends for each other. That made me shut down, as I realized that my attraction to males would be outed even if I feel absolutely no attraction to you. Trust me we are both too diabolical to ever date, but this last week I do think I have finally realized something, and I have realized what I want" Justin said as he looked Bowie dead in the face.
"What is it that you do want?" Bowie asked.
"I want to be happy, and me being happy is me admitting deep down, that I'm-" Justin said as he joked up. "I'm bisexual. Holy shit, that feels so weird to admit."
"Look, no matter what we are in this game together as close allies and friends, just know that I support you. Now I'll get in the coffin, let's win this challenge!"
As Justin began carrying the coffin he left the room saying, "I just hope the other one of my band members, eventually admit to themselves they aren't being honest."
Musical Number
Katie and Ella were shown reaching a dead end in the castle as Katie sighed in annoyance "It's okay Katie. We'll make it through this I promise, with positive attitudes." Ella said, trying to cheer her best friend up.
"I can't blame Sierra and I'll probably be eliminated as once again my sense of direction gets us lost again. I just need to let this out." Katie said as the bell dinged. "Oh no."
"Who's singing this time, Chris?" Ella asked.
"Actually it's Blaineley, and you two will be the leads of the song." Blaineley told.
"Oh boy/no!" Ella and Katie said at the same time.
(Bold means singing)
"Give me skies that are black and blue just like the way I feel tonight." Katie sang in a melancholy tone looking out the window.
"What about some green and some bright red to make us feel healed." Ella said as she held a rose in her hands.
"Maybe not, as the cold wind will only make it feel real." Katie sang as she solemnly looked down and away from Ella.
"A storm is brewing deep within our team, and we can't get hurt and lose our pride." Ella sang as she looked at her rose in concern.
"Seeing this place makes me feel good that when I look outside, that someone is hurt just like I." Katie sang as the camera panned out, to the rain outside of the castle.
"You can't feel pain." Ella said as she began to tear up at Katie's state.
"But when it rains, I don't mind feeling lonely." The camera zoomed back in on Katie and Ella's sad conversation as Katie kept singing.
"With you like this you just cry along with the sky? Because for me when it rains I don't pretend to be happy, I will just always be that way without a try." Ella sang as she was now crying.
"When it rains, some people get down and sport a frown so maybe today I'll fit right in. The Sun may brighten your day Ella. But today I'll take the rain." Katie closed out the chorus as the camera panned back out to show Geoff and Cody carrying their coffins.
"I don't care about the politics or hypocrites in this game." Cody sang next, looking around and looking over at the coffin that was carrying Kitty, and looked at Courtney and Scott passing by on the horses.
"I'm just sad about the girl who can't be with me" Geoff sang next, as he sighed in sadness as the camera zoomed out and back in the gymnasium showing Bridgette.
"The press will make up theories, scandals and lies about me." Bridgette sang next as she looked out the window as Millie comforted her.
"If you start out depressed, then everything may come as a pleasant surprise." Katie sang, next as the camera zoomed back in on her and Ella as Ella stood up, with a defiant smile on her face.
"But when it rains, Katie you don't have to be lonely, I'll cry right along with you and the sky." Ella sang as she comforted Katie.
"When it rains. I can't pretend to be happy, why should I even try?" Katie lamented as she looked down as Ella looked her in the face again.
"But when it rains, some people get down and are supporting a frown, so I won't fit right in, while I'm wearing a gown." Ella sang as she pointed at her outfit.
"But while the sun may brighten some people's days, I'd rather take the rain." Katie said as she entered the coffin room.
"Katie, I'm never leaving you as a friend. Yes, you messed up with directions many times now. I just don't want to see you so hurt." Ella tearfully said.
"When it rains, I don't mind being lonely, crying right along with the sky. When it rains, no one is ever happy, and they don't even have to try." Katie sang, slowly building confidence in her voice.
Now what?" Ella asked.
"But now when it rains, I won't be lonely, and I can't cry right along with the skies. So, when it rains, I need to stay happy and with you by my side I won't cry and not even have to try." Katie sang with a smile on her face.
"So, when it rains, and some people get down, we may not fit right in. Yeah, the sun may brighten some people's day but no matter what we can take the rain." Ella and Katie sang together as Ella got into the coffin so they could catch up.
End of Musical Number
Graveyard
The next duo shown at the graveyard was Harold and Ezekiel getting the approval from the grave digger. "Oh gosh, there's no team's left, we are in last place." Harold complained.
"No, we aren't eh. There are still a couple of empty coffins. Sorry for taking so long though, eh." Ezekiel apologized as he had a look of guilt, but still wanted to let Harold know they weren't friends.
"Look, we're fine if you are right. I'll support Bridgette in the gym, since you seem exhausted." Harold said as Ezekiel ran over to the horses "Maybe talking to her will help me with getting Ezekiel back to my side." Harold told himself, however he also decided to wait until they weren't in a challenge.
"Are you coming eh, or am I riding two horses at once, eh." Ezekiel called off screen.
Further along the horses were Sky and Noah, with Sky having an easy time, while Noah was struggling. "Woah, this is still not something I am used to."
"You just have to get used to it, little by little. Oh, and Julia was right, there is an alliance with all of them." Sky told Noah as they slowed down on the horses.
"What happened to Trent?" Noah asked.
"He was super cagey about him working with Justin and Bowie, he looked guilty." Sky explained.
"That's great, but we still don't have the numbers to do anything about it. Alejandro hates Jo and Owen, and the feeling is definitely mutual on Owen's side." Noah explained.
"What else? Something is bugging you." Sky said.
"Owen blames us for Brick going home." Noah said, looking away sadly at the ground. "I mean he's not wrong, but he is not happy about it at all. Let's just hope Alejandro has listened to Julia and maybe we can work this out."
At that moment Julia and Alejandro passed by with their horses as both were able to ride them just fine, even if Julia hated it and she didn't decide to mince words. "You pompous arrogant idiot." Julia yelled out loud.
As they passed by, Sky and Noah winced at what they just heard. "That's not a good sign." Sky said as she flinched. "I'll do my best with Jo at least."
"Oh, come on Sky, you can do anything you set your mind to. I know you can. I mean come on; aren't you miss future Olympian?" Noah reassured Sky.
"Thanks Noah. You're great." Sky said as Noah watched her in admiration as they reached the gym.
As Noah watched Sky enter the gym, Julia walked by her with a scowl on her face, "Alejandro is a freaking lost cause."
Gymnasium
A montage shows each of Cody, Tyler, Harold making their way into the gymnasium to support their final teammates. Inside the gymnasium Heather was hyping herself up, "One split jump, and a flip. I've got this." Heather told herself. Heather does both very easily soon afterwards.
"Impressive." Courtney told herself as Alejandro who had just walked in whistled at what he saw with Heather.
Confessional- Courtney
"Look. I do not like Heather, at all. She is an absolute bitch. However, she is one of our strongest teammates, and we need to keep winning immunity, so for now I need her on my side. To be fair without Emma in the game she pretty much has no power."
Graveyard
Back at the graveyard Justin and Bowie, along with Katie and Ella finish at the same time, with Trent walking up to Justin. "Someone seems to be a lot happier." Trent stated as he got on the horse.
"I am. Like I told Bowie. I am being honest with myself." Justin explained.
"That's great man, let's catch up." Trent said as he and Justin took off.
"I just wish someone would be honest with themselves from our band." Justin said as he and Trent went off screen as Katie and Ella got on their horse.
"Sorry for taking a break every ten feet, Ella. I'm not the most athletic. Hopefully Gwen won't be mad." Katie hoped.
"She won't be, she loves Romania." Ella said as the camera flashed away.
Gymnasium
In the gymnasium Gwen was growing impatient that she still couldn't start the final part of the challenge, "I love Romania, but where the hell are Katie and Ella." Gwen complained as Duncan walked up to her, making her blush. "What's up Duncan?"
"Nothing much, just that my teammates are also not here. Ugh, stupid alliance." Duncan complained.
"Alliance? What, is there a big alliance on your team that you're part of?" Gwen asked.
"Yep, it's with Bowie, Justin, Trent and Jen, but besides Bowie I'm not close to any of them." Duncan said.
"Shocker. The two non-Harold guys that you feuded with last season, you don't like, including my ex-boyfriend. Just abandon them at this point and play your own game." Gwen told Duncan as the camera shifted over to Jo and Sky as Jo was preparing for her turn at the gymnastics.
"Hey Jo, can we quickly talk?" Sky asked.
"Fine but make it quick." Jo impatiently said. "What do you want?"
"I meant what I said in Newfoundland that I still want to work together. I know we kind of lost touch for a while, but it may be in our best interest to work together for now." Sky proposed.
Confessional- Jo
"Do I trust Sky? Not fully. But working with her could be how I get back on top of this team, instead of just barely surviving. I just can't be rash about who I have as allies."
Back To Scene
After Sky and Jo were done with their talk, Jo quickly got done with the task. Jen was next up, and also finished soon after. "Oh my gosh I did it." Jen cheered out as Trent walked in and saw what Jen did.
"She's so amazing." Trent told himself.
"Yo, guitar man. Get your ass over here and cheer for me." Duncan barked out as Trent rolled his eyes in annoyance.
A montage was shown with Mickey struggling, as he fell off the balance beam, while Anne Maria walked right off as well. "Ow come on!" Anne Maria yelled out.
"Ow, darn it." Mickey yelled out as well.
"Come on Mickey you got this buddy!" Cody cheered out.
"Yo, stick man, I am the one you are supposed to cheer for. You idiot." Anne Maria harshly said as she was trying to finish the challenge.
Luckily at the same time both Mickey and Anne Maria finished as Mickey shocked himself with a huge rush of adrenaline and was proud of himself. Even as both Cody and Anne Maria glared at each other. The montage continued on as Damien, Bridgette finished next which leaves Team Victory with having Millie finish, while Team Amazon still had Gwen left to finish, and Team Style had Duncan left to finish.
Millie was the next one to try at the course, however she flopped at the finish line getting a thumbs down. "Aw man, this physical stuff is just not my thing.
"Oh, come on dudette. You can do it. You can do anything you set your mind to." Geoff reassured Millie.
"Thanks." Millie said as she was shaken up by losing again at the course.
"My turn!" Duncan called out as Duncan ran to the balance beam but crashed into the beam and got an immediate thumbs down from the judge. "Damn it."
"Come on Duncan, shake it off." Trent said in an annoyed tone, as he didn't have many nice things in his mind about Duncan.
"Geez thanks, dickhead." Duncan bitterly spats back.
"I'm just saying you could do better; I imagine even someone like Harold would do better." Trent said in a now sarcastic tone. "Oh, and just FYI neither Justin nor I wanted to cheer you on."
Back with Millie and Geoff, Millie was doing another try at the challenge along with Duncan at the same time. "You've got this Millie!" Geoff cheered out.
"Come on Duncan, you need to balance and not wobble." Trent said in anger.
"You're not the one doing the challenge, ah!" Duncan said as he walked off the balance beam. "Damn it!"
Gwen and Ella, who decided to cheer her cousin on, arrived. "We've got time to make up, Ella. I'm going in!" Gwen said as she ran up to the challenge as Duncan walked up to her.
"Hey pasty." Duncan said to Gwen, making her stop in her tracks, as Duncan and Gwen began talking, as the camera panned over to Millie.
"Wah!" Millie said as she landed on the mat on her legs, with the judge getting a thumbs up from the judge. "Awesome, I did it!"
"Oh, sweet Millie, we won the challenge. You know you'd be great as a party guest." Geoff reassured Millie as they ran out of the gym back to the airport and that they would finish first.
Confessional- Millie
"At times I wonder if writing everything I do is worth it, as Geoff is a really nice guy. But (Millie looks at her journal) this is my life calling I feel like."
Back To Scene
Duncan once again flopped and couldn't get the balance beam right, as Trent walked right up to him and grew even more annoyed at his supposed ally. "Dude, this is stuff that you would say." Trent complained, before doing an imitation of Duncan's voice, "12-year-old girls can do this shit." Trent mocked as Duncan flipped him off.
Gwen, who had also failed, walked back up to Duncan and decided to whisper something inaudible in his ears, as Duncan said "Really?" in astonishment, as Gwen nodded her head. "Thank you, pasty."
Ella walked up as Duncan walked away "What did you tell Duncan?"
"I just told him to back off Trent." Gwen said, however she was actually lying she actually told Duncan, that she was going to throw the challenge to Trent and Duncan as she was worried that Trent or Duncan would get eliminated if her team won. Gwen also knew the risk of putting herself in the line of fire, but she felt like she had to risk it for her ex-boyfriend and her crush.
However, Ella was none the wiser, "Okay that is so sweet of you to do that." Ella said.
Both Duncan and Gwen were taking one last chance at the course as both Ella and Trent cheered or rather their own versions of cheering "You've got this Gwen!"
"Come on Duncan, we should have been done an hour ago dude." Trent complained.
At that moment Gwen smirked and decided to launch herself a little higher and landing herself headfirst onto an overhead lamp, "Oh my gosh! Gwen!" Trent and Ella yelled at the same time as Duncan finished.
As soon as Duncan finished and got approval from the judge, and ran over to Gwen, "Pasty are you alright?
"I'm okay. (Coughs) A bit fried but I'll be okay." Gwen said.
As Duncan, Gwen, Ella and Trent left the gym. They saw everyone waiting outside as many looked on at Gwen in concern, but Blaineley focused on closing the challenge. "Congratulations to Team Victory and Team Style you are both safe tonight. Team Amazon you will be sending your fifth player home and will be down to just 11 of you. You will have 20 minutes to deliberate."
Mickey raised his eyebrows at Gwen's state, and a thought came to his mind that Gwen was not as honest as she portrayed herself to be. "That's just bizarre." Mickey said to himself.
Confessional- Heather
"I hate this. I am such an easy target, and I know I'm going home. I'm the biggest target on the team."
Confessional- Gwen
"Getting shocked by the lamp wasn't ideal. But I just couldn't risk leaving Duncan or Trent vulnerable tonight. I don't want to go home, so I guess that means throwing Ella or Katie under the bus, that's what needs to be done."
Romanian Airport
Most of the contestants had made their way back into the airport with everyone going into their cliques within Team Amazon with Cody talking to Kitty and Mickey. "Guys can we please just send Anne Maria home?"
"Of course." Mickey said.
"She is somehow jealous of Cody and me. I don't get why; I doubt Topher feels that way towards us." Kitty said as she turned towards Mickey who quickly regained his composure, "Hey Mickey, can you make sure Zoey is on board with us?"
"Sure thing, be right back." Mickey said as the camera showed his face fall when his back turned.
In another part of the airport was Courtney, Gwen and Scott as Gwen sighed "I'm feeling a lot better. I don't know what happened to me in the gym, and I am kind of freaked out." Gwen explained.
"We understand, but we need another target, Courtney and I talked, and we don't need to target Heather as we need to vote out our weakest links." Scott explained.
"I actually have an idea." Gwen said as the camera showed Courtney and Scott's jaw drop from what Gwen said inaudible.
Elimination Ceremony
Everyone from Team Amazon was sitting in a concession stand just outside the airport as Blaineley stood with a plate full of marshmallows. "It's time for elimination, get to voting."
Confessional- Cody
"Anne Maria has to go, she is annoying, and a total diva."
Confessional- Ella
"Sorry you just kind of scary, sorry Courtney."
Confessional- Heather
"I was told to do this last second by Courtney, no hard feelings."
Back To Elimination Ceremony
Back in the elimination Ceremony, Blaineley was ready to announce who was safe, "The following players are safe, Heather, Cody, Kitty, Katie, Scott, Gwen, Mickey, Zoey, and Topher are all safe with no votes. So, Anne Maria, Courtney, and Ella please step forward.
"Good luck." Scott told Courtney who smiled at Scott in reassurance but still felt nervous.
"Let's go over each of you, Courtney. Your anger can be a detriment for your teammates, Anne Maria, you complained so much about the challenge and not being with your boyfriend."
"When you are the best-looking couple in the game, do you blame me right Topher?" Anne Maria asked.
"Yeah. Babe." Topher said haphazardly, just wanting his girlfriend safe, while wanting to not be embarrassed.
"Lastly Ella, you were in the losing group so you could be the one with the blame. Tonight's vote is 6-4-2."
"How?" Katie asked off screen.
"The final 2 safe are….
…..
….
…
…
…
….
…
….
Courtney is safe with 2 votes and Anne Maria is safe with 4 votes which means Ella you are officially eliminated from Total Drama World Race."
"Wow!" Ella said in astonishment.
"No!" Katie yelled out in pure anguish. Katie ran up to Ella and hugged her desperately, "I can't lose you."
"I'll be fine. So will you. Good luck Katie, you're an amazing best friend. I hope you win, and it has been amazing to get to know all of you. " Ella began to say as she walked away, and Gwen walked up to her. "What is it Gwen?"
Gwen whispered "I'm sorry to do it. Please don't hold it against me."
"It's fine," Ella said as she walked away with a happy smile.
Confessional- Gwen
"So somehow I got no votes. Now why did I get rid of Ella? I needed to think for myself. Having Ella around as the weakest link on the team, and now that everyone on the team knew we were cousins, I just didn't want that target on my back. Just shocked this worked as I was never told we were going to have the majority."
Confessional- Mickey
"So, I imagine people are confused about how Ella left. When Zoey and I talked she told me that Topher and Anne Maria wanted to take out Ella. Zoey said Topher wanted to make it up to her, and after seeing how Gwen looked, I'm convinced she threw Ella under the bus and target her, and once Zoey told me what Topher and Anne Maria were doing, Zoey and I agreed to just vote with Cody and Kitty with the hopes that maybe Ella and Katie would tie the vote but they didn't, Ella and Katie decided to vote out Courtney, since no one approached them in the twenty minutes. If it were up to me, Gwen would be gone but everyone felt bad for her injury. She's good. Topher made it up to Anne Maria apparently, and I made it up for Cody and Kitty as their best friend though. It's weird though, I never thought I would make it this far. Poor Katie though, she is probably having it the roughest."
Confessional- Katie
"From now on in this game, I am playing for myself. It's so intimidating now losing Ella as she helped pick me up when Sadie left. But even though Ella is now gone, she has given me the drive and push to keep going in this game and has reignited my fire. I haven't talked about it, because I am trying to not be seen as a pure gossip, but I still know Alejandro sent Sadie home all the way back in the Yukon. Now I did get along with her, but I have to think Gwen threw the challenge, and if I find out she sent Ella home and backstabbed her cousin. I will make it my mission in this game to send her home. I miss you Ella, wish me the best luck."

Notes:
So we go to Romania, specifically Transylvania. Now some general notes. The song was based on one of my favorite songs growing up that never got much traction ("When It Rains" by Eli Young Band). The challenge was going to be another duo/group, using the challenge. Wanted to also subvert expectations with who was doing well and who didn't, hence why I had Mickey do shockingly well. Also, Chris will soon be talking to one of his bosses about what he did in Newfoundland.
Now for Team Victory and Team Style, both of their plot lines were about the ever-shifting dynamics of their team. For Team Victory it was more so the Aftermath of the Shawn quit. For Team Style it was about Julia's main quest to take down Bowie's alliance, the perception of Jen, and Duncan along with Trent actually not getting along, while Justin finally revealed why he had been in a slump since the second Paris chapter, also I imagine with what Justin said you can kind of figure out who he's talking about is not also being honest with themselves.
We move on to our boot this episode, in Ella. Which also marks the third Pahkitew character in a row. For me Ella was someone I wanted on this cast just due to the whole concept of this season. However, at first, I had no idea what to do with her beyond her taking part in the musical numbers if she was there. Then when I eliminated Sadie in the Yukon, I realized that I wanted Ella to essentially be the new Sadie for Katie and slowly build Katie's confidence back up. Now I did have a brief debate with myself to make Katie and Ella a couple, but I figured a close friendship was enough, and there are already a fair number of couples. That being said, I didn't have Ella in the game long term, as she was only meant to prop Katie up for so long. So, I kind of decided to makeshift her elimination, and have her elimination play a role in Gwen's story and Katie's. Pretty much Ella was a great supporting character, but I never had an individual story or arc for her, hence why Ella lands just outside the Top 30.
Next chapter we are heading to Hawaii, where the challenge will have a similar setup to the Romania one, with people diving for rings, hot coals, riding donkey carriages beforehand and another musical number inspired by a song I love and one that I imagine a lot of people have either heard of or are aware of. Also, another elimination sends another person home, which will leave us with the Top 30. But until then, stay tuned and thank you everyone for the support of this story.
Chapter 18: Hawaiian Honeyruin
Summary:
The Top 31 go from Romania to Hawaii, where everyone sans one is in a duo for the day and communication is key. While some duos work very well together, others bicker and fall behind. One team's romance situation begins to get really complicated, while an alliance begins to crumble. A huge argument happens that almost turns violent. The elimination sees another player eliminated, and a power shift in work.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Hawaiian Honeyruin
Recap
Blaineley's voice was heard as the episode recounted what happened in the previous episode, "Previously on Total Drama World Race, due to Chris' funding with the plane, we had to take an alternate route, as myself, Chris, and the contestants took a bus and plane from Jamaica to Transylvania." Blaineley said, as the camera showed footage of everyone making their way onto the bus and later plane.
"On Team Victory, Millie and Damien looked at Bridgette as a potential ally due to Tyler and Lindsay's rocky relationship, with Lindsay still leaving Tyler out in the cold. While in a role reversal Ezekiel was the one who was giving Harold the cold shoulder." Blaineley said as the show showed footage of Millie and Damien talking with Bridgette, Lindsay angrily yelling at Tyler, while Ezekiel ignoring Harold was also shown.
"On Team Style, Justin told Bowie about his conflicting sexuality, while Noah and Owen discussed whether to take the shot at Alejandro as Owen wanted to while Noah feared Bowie's alliance, which lead to tension between Noah and Owen's friendship." Blaineley further said.
"The big losers however were Team Amazon, despite a strong showing from Courtney, Scott, and Heather with Courtney even tackling Julia and Alejandro. The rest of the team was less than stellar with Katie and Ella once again blowing a challenge, which lead to Gwen turning on her cousin Ella and sending the princess singer out of the game." Blaineley said with footage showing each of these events.
"Tonight, we go to Hawaii where another player's dreams of the money are dashed. Who will it be, find out here on another juicy episode of Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley announced at the end, as the camera faded away.
Theme Song
Dear Mom and Dad I'm Doing Fine
The theme song immediately begins showing Owen underwater swimming while Noah and Cameron look on in disgust underwater pointing to Owen's lack of swimsuit which makes Owen instantly cover up
You Guys Are On My Mind
The camera pans up to show Harold showing off his moves on top of a weaved boat while Dave and Leshawna look confused until a paddle is shown hitting Dave and Harold knocking them into the water while Leshawna glares as the camera pans to Duncan who is laughing at the situation.
You Asked Me What I Wanted To Be
Brick, Eva, Jo, Sky, and Courtney are shown paddling the boat with Jo and Sky glaring at each other with Sky also glaring at Duncan for what he did to Dave, while Brick looks enthusiastic, and Eva has a neutral expression.
Now I Think The Answer Is Plain To See
The boat crashes into a raft holding Gwen, Ella, Kitty, and Mickey with Gwen looking resigned to her fate, Ella not seeming to mind while Mickey looks freaked out until Kitty gives him a pat on the back to try and calm him down.
I Wanna Be Famous
Duncan quickly tries to pull Gwen off the raft but Courtney stops and glares at him as the camera flashes to the next scene.
I Wanna Live Close To The Sun
Alejandro and Bowie are shown helping Heather and Julia up the Statue of Liberty with Justin glaring at Alejandro while Bowie tries to push Julia back down but she moves out of the way as Justin helps Bowie from falling to the ground.
Well Pack Your Bags Cause I Already Won
Tyler and Chase are shown pushing carriages containing Cody and Emma respectively as the latter two look on in fear but Ezekiel trips Tyler and Shawn trips Chase causing both Emma and Cody to go freefalling out of the sky while Jasmine looks on in worry.
Everything To Prove Nothing In My Way
Cody and Emma land in Sierra's arms with Sierra tossing Emma to the snow on her head with ease and then giving Cody a huge hug much to his discomfort. Lindsay is then shown a picture of Tyler, confused about it as Beth, Sadie, and Katie try to explain who he is before a bear shows up scaring all of them and making them run away.
Cause I Wanna Be Famous
The person shown in the bear is Izzy who laughs, while Millie is shown writing in her notebook, Laurie winces at the sight, and Scott laughs as well about the whole thing until a seal comes and bites Izzy's hands making all of them run away.
Na Na Na Na Na
Geoff, Brody, and Bridgette are shown surfing really well, while Damien, DJ, and Lorenzo are shown struggling, causing all 6 to pile up soon after.
Na Na Na Na Na
On a street in presumably Europe, Trent and Jen are shown dancing on the road enjoying the moment, same with Zoey and Topher until Anne-Maria tries to grab on to Topher confusing him and making Zoey glare, however all 5 stop when the jumbo jet comes near the ground making all 5 duck for cover.
I Wanna Be I Wanna Be I Wanna Be Famous
All of the cast is shown falling out of the sky with parachutes with Sierra holding onto Cody as Cody looks worried and notices Mickey looking worried at the ground.
I Wanna Be I Wanna Be I Wanna Be Famous
The cast begins hitting the ground with most doing well until Mickey does poorly on the landing and Ezekiel hits the ground hard.
(Whistling)
Noah is shown looking worried at Ezekiel and Mickey's bad dismount before the theme song and intro cuts.
(End Of Intro)
Transylvanian Field
After the intro, the episode showed everyone with their respective teams, all standing where the last challenge ended in the middle of Transylvania as it was now evening time, with Blaineley at the center of the camera with no Chris around, "Attention contestants, we are about to depart to our next place, and we are going to…. Hawaii!"
"Hawaii is a dream destination of mine, ugh the beaches." Anne Maria boasted, in confidence, thrilled to be heading to Hawaii, as she always wanted to go there growing up.
"The sun, and potential tan I could get." Lindsay also cheered, as this was the best piece of good news, she had gotten in quite some time.
"Hey Blaineley, not that we aren't all thrilled about the prospects of going to Hawaii, but where's Chris?" Topher asked in concern as he saw Blaineley was by herself.
"Chris is talking to the producers the next few days due to what happened in Newfoundland and using his own funds that were meant for the show." Blaineley explained before continuing on. "Now we aren't taking a bus to the airport, instead you guys will be taking donkey carriages to the airport." Blaineley said with a smirk on her face.
Duncan voiced what mostly everyone thought when Blaineley announced that it was donkeys, "Are you kidding me?"
"I am serious and let me explain. All of you guys will be put in groups of six and a final group of 7 as we have 5 carriages ready to go. In order to determine it, I have decided that it'll be organized by placement from the last challenge so that means Owen, Sky, Noah, Courtney, Heather, and Scott. You will all get on the first carriage that leaves 5 minutes before the next one."
Confessional- Bridgette
"Not going to lie, going to Hawaii is neat. But the way Blaineley is making this challenge sound, I doubt I will be able to lead my team. So maybe today I will try to enjoy myself."
Confessional- Julia
"It's only a matter of time before our team loses and I need to make sure I have Owen and Jo on lock that they will send one of Bowie's lackeys out the door or himself."
Confessional- Mickey
"Oh great, Hawaii. My brother is allergic to orchids, luckily, I am not." Mickey explained, about his brother before he looked down sadly. "But the last time I was in Hawaii my brother had such a severe allergic reaction we had to spend two days in the hospital." Mickey explained. "Maybe today will be redemption."
First Carriage
In the first carriage Courtney and Scott were in front making sure the donkey was moving while Heather, Owen, Noah, and Sky were in the back as Owen wanted to play charades as Sky was shown with her hands in front of her face and was clearly meant to be a camera. "Here's a clue Owen, click." Sky said.
"Ooh gummy bears, they click in my mouth." Owen guessed incorrectly as everyone looked at him weirdly. "What?"
"Owen, think of something that clicks." Sky asked.
"Click, click, ooh I really click with pizza." Owen proudly said.
"You've got to be kidding me. It's a camera!" Heather impatiently said ruining the game. "How the hell did you associate a camera with pizza?"
"Come on Heather, it's not that serious of a game." Sky joked, trying to bond with the queen bee and more importantly stay on her good side, as Sky deep down felt like the teams were ending sooner than later.
"Well would you rather discuss the game, even though I am not on the same team as you three?" Heather asked, hoping to find out some of the drama going on Team Style.
"I guess we can." Noah said in an uneasy tone. "Hey Owen, big guy, have you given any thought about sending Trent or Justin home?" Noah asked.
Owen was completely caught off guard by what Noah said, "I... I don't know. They are both my friends."
Heather had her eyebrows raised, shocked by how Noah and Owen were interacting, "Interesting. I figure you guys would target weak links like Jen."
Sky butted in at the mention of Jen, "Jen isn't physically strong, but no one takes her seriously as a threat, so she is easy to bring along in the game." Sky explains as Heather looks on in deep thought.
Confessional- Heather
"It's interesting to get some of these dynamics from Team Style." Heather said. "I am shocked that Noah wants to take out Trent or Justin since I figured he would go after someone like Alejandro. Yet Alejandro is an afterthought on his team." Heather said smiling at Alejandro's situation. "Also, I don't get why Jen is not taken seriously. After the first two seasons you never take anyone for granted, it's how Owen got so far, the first season and Beth did last season." Heather explained. "But Jen isn't my problem." Heather finished, feeding into the perception of Jen as a non threat.
Back To Scene
Back with the first carriage Scott rolled his eyes, "Ugh they are so annoying, doing charades? What are we 10 years old?" Scott complained. "I'm shocked Heather would swoop so low."
Courtney, however, wasn't listening to Scott and had a glare on her face. "Do we have a whip or something for this donkey?" Courtney asked.
"Why do you need a whip?" Scott asked back.
"To get this stupid ass moving faster!" Courtney barked angrily. "We need to expand this lead."
"This carriage is carrying Owen who makes this a 7-person carriage." Scott reasoned, as he was now finding Courtney's anger less attractive and more concerning. "What are you doing?" Scott asked as Courtney got off the carriage and moved in front of the donkey.
"Listen, stupid horse wannabe reject, move faster or I will make donkey stew." Courtney threatened.
The donkey heard and understood Courtney, but instead of taking Courtney's advice, the donkey rammed into Courtney and headbutted her in the gut. "Courtney!" Scott cried out as he got off the carriage. "Please just calm down, please." Scott begged.
Courtney who was on the ground, roughed up, noticed how Scott was looking at her. In that moment Courtney's anger was replaced with embarrassment and sadness, "I am such a freaking failure."
Heather who was done talking with Sky, Noah and Owen had noticed they had stopped moving, "What the hell is going on, why did we stop moving?" Heather asked in anger.
Confessional- Courtney and Scott
"I'm sorry for breaking down." Courtney said, looking down.
"It's okay, it's fine. Everyone has off days." Scott reassured Courtney, but his tone of voice wasn't convincing.
"It's not fine Scott, I got dumped on international television by Duncan. I'm probably…probably the laughingstock of my hometown." Courtney tearfully said as she collapsed into Scott's arms in tears. Scott was happy that the girl he liked was now with him a fair amount of time, but seeing her distraught left him feeling sad at the whole situation.
Second Carriage/Pre-Musical Number
The second carriage had Alejandro, Jen, Jo, Julia, Zoey, and Topher. Alejandro was by himself in the front of the carriage "Come on Mr. Donkey, you've got this." Alejandro said in a fake positive tone,
Jen who was sitting with Zoey and Topher on the back end of the carriage overheard Alejandro's tone and decided to mock him "He doesn't impress me much." Jen sarcastically said,
"Oh my gosh, are you referring to the Shania Twain song that sounds similar to it?" Topher asked. "I love that song!"
"Me too!" Zoey said, however at that moment the bell rang, "Oh no."
"Now? Of all times? We aren't even in Hawaii." Jo angrily said as she pulled up a walkie talkie.
"Well, we were going to have it be in Hawaii, but we want the musical number out of the way and since you mentioned that song it will be with that song's melody, so hit it!" Blaineley proudly says off screen on a walkie talkie that was provided for each carriage.
Musical Number
The musical number as such starts in tune with "That Don't Impress Me Much" as the second carriage is still shown as they hit a bump on the wheel "Ow!" Jen said as she fell out of her seat in the carriage and to the basket of the carriage.
As the song officially started, Jo was the first one to sing. "I've known some guys who thought they were pretty smart, but that man driving us, has got being right down to an art." Jo sang as she pointed at Alejandro in a sarcastic tone of voice.
Alejandro, obviously knowing that Jo's comments were directed at him, sang next, and gave her a taste of what she was saying, "Well you think you're a genius, you drive everyone in the game up the wall you're a regular original know it all."
Julia, who was sitting next to Zoey and Topher now, sang next "Oh whoa you both think you're special, oh whoa you both think you're something else."
Topher was the next one to sing, "Okay so he's the son of a scholar. That Don't Impress Me Much!" Topher sang in a lighthearted tone, as he wanted to sing the song but also wanted to keep things lighthearted.
Jen, had recovered from her clumsiness and sang looking at both Alejandro and Jo with a playful smirk, "So he's got the brains, she's got the brawn, but we don't think they've got the magic touch."
"Now don't get me wrong, yeah I think they're both all right, but will they keep the one they want warm in the middle of the night." Zoey sang sitting with everyone who wasn't Jo and Alejandro.
"That Don't Impress Me Much." Everyone in the second carriage sang sans Jo and Alejandro sang as they laughed shortly afterwards, even Julia was enjoying the lighthearted nature, even if she found the musical number stupid.
Topher while the song was going decided to speak normally, "Hope you both know that was an honest joke. You both seem pretty cool." Topher told both Jo and Alejandro with neither looking convinced as both glared at each other.
The song next moved over to the final carriage which contained Bowie, Duncan, Justin, Trent, Gwen, Katie, and Brody. The song started back up with Brody, "Dudes I've never known a guy who carried a mirror in his pocket." Brody sang as he pointed at Justin smiling.
"I also have all this comb up my sleeve just in case." Justin sang as he brought out a hair comb for his hair.
"Does all that hair gel hold that ego in check?" Duncan sarcastically said, in annoyance.
"Cause heaven forbid one hair falls out of place." Gwen sang next as she pointed at Justin's hair as both her and Duncan laughed about the whole thing after what she sang.
"Whoa, whoa, I think I'm special." Justin sang as he pulled out his mirror again.
"Dude you're something else." Duncan sang even in a more sarcastic tone.
"Okay so you're male model Justin from the Drama Brothers." Katie sang looking at Justin in admiration.
"That Don't Impress Me Much." Gwen sang in a flat tone, looking unimpressed with Justin. "So, you have the looks, but does he have the touch?"
"Now don't get me wrong he is my best friend, but can he keep them warm in the middle of the night, and not make it all end." Bowie sang as a halfway joke.
"That Don't Impress Me Much." Gwen closed out her carriages part of the song.
The next carriage shown was the one containing Kitty, Cody, Mickey, Anne Maria, Tyler, and Damien. With the camera first showing Kitty and Cody sitting next to each other dancing along with the song, "Yeah!" Kitty sang as she gave Cody a kiss on the cheek as Mickey was shown flinching at seeing them, something that Cody noticed and was confused why his best friend was flinching at that.
Mickey, who saw Cody looking at him weirdly, decided to pick the song back up so Cody wouldn't notice him, as he is shown walking up next to Anne Maria, "You're one of those girls who likes to shine her machine." Mickey jokingly said.
"She'd have her man take off his shoes as soon as he walks in." Tyler next jokingly said.
"What would you do if you could interact with your hair, kiss it goodnight?" Damien asked as Anne Maria showed a guilty look on her face. "You must be joking right?"
"Whoa, whoa you think you're something special." Mickey sang in a shockingly confident tone.
"Come on, look at me, I'm something else." Anne Maria defended herself.
"Okay so you've got a tan, that don't impress me much." Tyler sang.
The last carriage not shown during the musical number or before, consisting of Lindsay, Harold, Ezekiel, Bridgette, and Geoff were finally shown as Lindsay picked up the song. "Well, does Tyler have the moves or does he have the touch?"
"Now don't get me wrong Lindsay, I'm sure Tyler's alright." Bridgette said in defense of Tyler.
"But he won't keep me warm in the middle of the night." Lindsay said as she looked at the sky in wonder. "He don't impress me."
Back at the very first carriage Heather was singing finally, as she was looking at the carriage behind her showing Alejandro, as she was glaring at him "He thinks he's so cool, but he won't have the touch."
"Now, now, Heather, am I wrong but don't you think he's alright now?" Owen sang, playfully joking.
"But he won't keep a girl warm in the middle of the night, so he don't impress me much." Heather sang, still glaring at Alejandro who was closing the gap between the two carriages.
Sky offered some backing vocals "That don't impress me." Sky then decided to have a Crack at the song herself. "Oh no, do you think you're cool, while you don't have the touch." Sky jokingly said jabbing at Noah.
"But come on now, I think I'm alright, and I will keep my future girl warm on a cold, sad lonely night. I can impress you very much." Noah sang back as he and Sky looked at each other awkwardly after what Noah just said.
The final part of the song went over to Cody and Kitty still in the carriage dancing along, as Kitty noticed Cody had changed his hair to very highly slicked back, "Okay so what are you doing? Some sort of Elvis impression?" Kitty asked, as Cody gave a sheepish grin. "Eh, whatever."
The song concluded with Cody singing out loud "I think I impressed her." Cody said as he almost kissing Kitty before looking over to Mickey and stopping, stunning both as Cody felt so much passion and confusion at that moment despite embarrassing himself. The song afterwards ended.
Third Carriage
As the song ended, Mickey walked back up to the happy couple, "Congrats guys. Glad you could both end Transylvania on a high note." Mickey told Cody and Kitty trying to sound convincing, but deep down he knew he was not sounding sincere.
"Oh dude, you never told me why you are so scared of this place, Heather told me last night it was due to werewolves?" Cody asked, wanting to avoid why Mickey was acting so weird earlier when he and Kitty kissed, and instead decided to change the topic entirely.
Mickey felt awkward in that moment, "Yep scared of werewolves. It came from watching a werewolf movie, 'American Werewolf In London'. Specifically, the werewolf transformation scene. It made me scared of wolves and made me feel weird." Mickey explained.
"Weird how?" Kitty asked, genuinely curious and intrigued.
Mickey however, realized he shouldn't have phrased it that way, "It just felt weird…." Mickey began to say as he drifted off trying to gain his thought process, "Weird due to how painful it looked. I could feel the pain through my screen."
"That makes sense, could you imagine if that stuff was real, having to lose all your clothes due to being this animal. That's just sick." Cody said, as he thought in disgust.
Tyler and Damien also shared Mickey's sentiment about Transylvania at the very least, "The sooner we get out of here. This place is so freaky, and I have to think Hawaii will be much better." Damien reasoned.
"Yeah, maybe Lindsay and I can make up in Hawaii." Tyler cheerfully said as Damien looked at Tyler with a disapproving look. "What?"
"She is still furious with you, so just give up for now." Damien told Tyler. "Or just figure out on your own time I am your best friend not your therapist dude." Damien told Tyler, which left the carriage in an awkward silence.
Last Carriage
Back in the final carriage containing Trent, Gwen, Duncan, Katie, Justin, Bowie, and Brody. Most of the people were keeping quiet, due to everyone being on different teams and besides Bowie, Justin and Trent no one else was really aligned. However, Trent did decide to talk to his ex-girlfriend Gwen, "Hey Gwen can I ask you something as your now ex."
"Sure, Trent, what's going on? You are looking kind of uneasy." Gwen noticed.
"It's just, Jen." Trent weakly said
"Oh, the girl you clearly have a crush on." Gwen sarcastically said back, before continuing. "I would just say tell her before it's too late since no one is guaranteed to stay every round, I mean who could have seen Ella leaving." Gwen explained, lying about Ella as Gwen was the main catalyst of Ella leaving, but her elimination was still on Gwen's mind as she felt a level of guilt.
Katie overheard what Gwen said and told herself "She is such a liar." Katie luckily said this in a quiet enough tone for no one to hear her.
Duncan angrily walked up to the two exes, "Stupid Justin." Duncan spat in anger looking at the end of the carriage.
"What have you all bothered, cyclops?" Gwen asked, trying to lighten the mood.
"Justin and Bowie completely ignored me, they act like they are the ones in control of the team, and I suggested who to eliminate, in this case Julia, and they completely dismissed me right now." Duncan said, as he then walked over to the end of the carriage to be left alone.
"What a prima donna." Trent said as he was obviously agreeing with his allies.
Airplane
In the airplane everyone was shown sitting in their seats as Blaineley was standing in front, "Seriously we all end up on the same plane, what was the point of the carriages?" Heather asked.
"For you guys to bond, now it's a one-way ticket to Hawaii." Blaineley announced.
Jen who was sitting next to Trent, was now nervous about Hawaii. "I am looking forward to Hawaii but." Jen began to say as Trent interrupted her.
"Hey Jen, I just want to say that I…" Trent began to say until Jen kept talking.
"It's those dang shirts they wear in Hawaii. I don't even know who would wear those with full conviction. Maybe someone with a horrible fashion sense. Like Jo." Jen said, as Trent decided to just be quiet as Jen spent the plane ride talking about Jo's fashion, her love for Drama Brothers. Also, how much she missed Tom, while her talking left Trent completely transfixed.
"Attention everyone, today is another duo day." Blaineley announced with a smirk.
"Wait Blaineley, there are 31 of us so how can there be duos?" Damien asked.
"Well, the duos are determined by your carriages, so the last one will have one person immune. From the first carriage by random draw, Owen and Scott, next up is…" Blaineley announced.
However, the fact that Scott wasn't her duo partner made Courtney speak up, "This is so unfair."
"Okay, the next person who speaks out of turn gets a penalty vote. Gwen you are not the one immune on the last carriage and your partner will be Katie."
"Oh great." Katie said under her breath.
"Heather and Courtney are a duo which means Noah and Sky will also be a duo. Duncan, you are with Brody. Geoff and Bridgette are a duo today. Lindsay, you get Millie." Blaineley further said as Heather and Courtney were not thrilled at all, Noah and Sky felt awkward about being a duo after what Noah said during the song. Duncan was more intrigued to work with Brody, while both Geoff and Bridgette, along with Millie and Lindsay were excited.
"Isn't this exciting Millie?" Lindsay asked looking over her to her best friend left in the competition since Beth left.
"Yep, and oh my gosh you got my name right." Millie cheered, happy Lindsay got her name right, which was something that bugged her.
"Thanks Minnie." Lindsay said which made Millie's face fall back down.
"Other duos are Trent and Justin, Harold and Ezekiel, Cody you are with… Anne Maria." Blaineley further said.
While Trent and Justin were excited and both Harold and Ezekiel felt indifferent since they saw this coming, Anne Maria and Cody were both less than thrilled. "What, why them?" both Cody and Anne Maria said before both glared at each other across the aisle.
"This should provide some good TV. Zoey and Topher are both partnered." Blaineley told which made both Topher and Zoey both beam with excitement.
But since Topher was with Zoey and not her, Anne Maria was even more angry. "Ugh I hate this stupid show." Anne Maria complained.
"Oh, just suck it up, it's not like I enjoy this." Cody told Anne Maria in annoyance.
"Our last duos are Jo and Julia, Kitty and Mickey, Alejandro is with Jen for this challenge and lastly Damien is with Tyler which means congrats Bowie, you don't have a partner, and you are immune tonight." Blaineley said as she finished pairing the duos. "Oh, and the duo that finishes last today loses it for their team so if you have a cross-team duo and finish last both teams go to elimination.
"Yes, this is perfect." Bowie said confidently, "A free vacation day in Hawaii, today could not be going any better." Bowie boasted, while Julia glared at him, hoping that maybe he could get eliminated tonight.
Confessional- Katie
"So, in case anyone is wondering. I am still against Gwen and of course I am still stuck with her." Katie said annoyed. "Can't throw the challenge but maybe I can get on her good side. It's weird for me to maybe lie in this game, but losing Ella makes me want to play so much harder."
Confessional- Millie
"I'm so happy to be partnered with Lindsay as she is great for the research I'm doing in my journal. But she is also still my friend and closest ally, especially since Damien is just playing too hard now."
Confessional- Cody
(Sarcastic tone) "Oh I love being partnered with Anne Maria. (Normal tone) "You know I was going to maybe ask Mickey why he flinched when he saw me earlier, as I saw his reaction. But instead, I'm stuck with Anne Maria." Cody complained. "Ever since Sierra left, Anne Maria has quickly become my least favorite person on the team. She complains, acts like she and Topher are such a better couple than Kitty and I, when in my opinion I think Topher can do so much better than that witch."
Confessional- Alejandro
"There's a common sentiment about Jen that she is so easily swayed, yet no matter how many times I try she is not swayed to my side." Alejandro complained, "I want to drag her to the end as all she talks about is fashion, styles, and her best friend Tom back home. Her mind is never on the game. But she's not charmed by me at all, and I don't get it."
In Hawaii
The plane then landed in Hawaii at the airport, as the scene showed Harold, Ezekiel, Cody, Anne Maria, Kitty, and Mickey. "If I remember correctly, it's a tradition for us to be greeted with local flowers." Harold said as he had a necklace full of orchids given to him by a local, with a local giving them to Anne Maria, Kitty, Cody, and Mickey.
Much to Cody's shock however, Mickey didn't sneeze when the necklace put on him, "Wouldn't you be allergic to this stuff."
"Didn't you hear me on the carriage ride here? My brother was allergic to stuff in Hawaii, not me. I am allergic to roses though, but orchids, I am fine with." Mickey explained.
"Achoo!" Ezekiel said as the necklace landed on him "Darn it eh. These flowers are making me sneeze." Ezekiel said as he sneezed again.
"Looks like he's allergic." Cody said in a slight chuckle, while Mickey felt uncomfortable being near Cody and Ezekiel's allergy reminding him of his brother.
"Yo, geekwad Cody, you're my partner so get over here now!" Anne Maria barked out in anger, annoyed she was forced to spend so much time with him.
"Wish me luck, dealing with her. Have fun Kitty. Also, Mickey, don't do anything stupid or something that will get yourself hurt." Cody said before quickly running off screen to Anne Maria.
"I am usually very careful with stuff. He's going to have a miserable day, poor thing." Mickey said as he looked at Cody wistfully, something Kitty picked up on as well.
"Could he…... No." Kitty told herself, before quickly snapping out of that train of thought, luckily for her no one heard what she said, but Mickey's bond with Cody was now starting to bug her.
Confessional- Kitty
"Maybe it is just my paranoia getting to me, but the way Mickey looked at Cody, threw me off." Kitty explained. "Mickey has always insisted he has never had a crush on me, but there's no way he would like my boyfriend, right? They are just best friends." Kitty reasoned.
First Challenge Site
Every duo was standing at the dock, as Blaineley and Chef stood in front of them. "Here's how this works, each duo has to have one of their own and has to dive into the water here for wedding rings."
"Ooh wedding ring, it is a girl's dream." Anne Maria said as she looked at Topher, who didn't notice her.
"The water will contain sharks and electric eels. Nonlethal of course. Now the second part will contain this." Blaineley said as Chef pulled out a grass skirt and a wreath.
"What the heck are those two things?" Jo asked.
"Glad you could ask Jo; this one will have both members of the duo putting on the grass skirt or the wreath and walk across hot coals." Chef explained.
"Hot coals, well there goes a future in foot modeling." Justin told himself.
"Grooms carry brides across the hot coals, but if any part catches on fire, you must go back to the starting line and get another part you burned." Blaineley further said. "Now every duo person who is jumping you are free to jump whenever."
"I'm jumping!" Scott told Owen right away.
Confessional- Scott
"Look it is tempting to throw the challenge but with Courtney now breaking down and crying, I fear she will be the person who leaves if our team loses so I have to give it my all this challenge."
Back To Scene
Back in the present time, Courtney, Geoff, and Lindsay agreed to jump "Promise me you aren't going to focus on Tyler today?" Millie asked.
"I promise Millie." Lindsay said as she jumped.
Others like Tyler, Trent, Harold, Noah, and Alejandro jumped for their duos as Alejandro took his shirt off as Anne Maria gawked at him "Hubba hubba." Anne Maria said in lust.
"What do you think, miss Jen?" Alejandro flirtingly said.
"Probably get going, good luck though. I'll see you by the coals." Jen said as she showed no interest in Alejandro, leaving Alejandro frustrated again as he jumped in.
"Well, my orchid allergy should be gone, who's jumping, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"Zeke, you're already allergic to orchids, I'm jumping. Gosh!" Harold said as he managed to enter the water in a graceful pose due to his figure skating background.
"Pushy much eh." Ezekiel said as he stayed on the dock as it showed Zoey also jumping into the water.
Meanwhile the bickering duo of Cody and Anne Maria were undecided on who they were going to have to do the challenge "Come on just do it already." Anne Maria angrily said as she shoved Cody into the water.
"Cody!" Kitty called out as she jumped into the water for her boyfriend.
"Anne Maria, you and I need to talk when this challenge is over." Topher said as he glared at her.
"What I was giving a push of encouragement. It wasn't like I pushed glass bones over there." Anne Maria said as she pointed at Mickey.
"Maybe, but you can't just push teammates willingly. Look, I wanna talk once the challenge is over. Just please, please don't get yourself in trouble sweetie." Topher explained as he walked over to Mickey. "Sorry you had to see that."
"It's... it's okay. This game stresses us all out. I am glad Kitty jumped instead of me; I would be weak." Mickey told Topher.
"Well, I didn't want to go in as I am scared shitless of sharks, I don't want my face or body ruined." Topher explained to Mickey with a confident smile.
"Are you really obsessed with your looks or something?" Mickey asked, "I mean I am not shocked if you are."
Topher flinched at what Mickey said, "I am to some degree. It's just something for me to always focus on, I guess."
Confessional- Topher
"I don't know what it was, but Mickey is a unique guy. I feel like there's a lot to him beyond what meets the eye." (sighs) "Similarly to me." Topher said looking down briefly before getting his composure back. "But I am not going to say it here, at least not yet." Topher said looking back down sadly, his confidence waning. "As for Anne Maria. I still care for her so much, but she is obsessed with just being with me and now is being rude since she is with Cody for the challenge. Luckily, I know there's no attraction between those two. If anything, they are repulsed by each other."
Back To Scene
As everyone that wasn't looking for rings waited for their partners to pop up, the first one to show up with a ring was Courtney. "Got it!" Courtney yelled out.
"I'm impressed, see you on the beach!" Heather called out running towards the beach and the second challenge site.
"How did she find it so fast; she was crying on the plane ride here?" Trent asked everyone as Millie was shown shrugging her shoulders.
Confessional- Courtney
"How did I find it first? Dumb luck, I guess. (crying) That stupid ring, it just reminds me of Duncan. Aahh!" Courtney cried out angrily.
Back To Scene
Julia and Owen were standing next to each other, and Julia initiated a conversation as she was still gunning for Bowie's alliance. "We need to talk while Jo and Scott are looking for rings, as I imagine both will be back out of the water soon."
"Why do we need to talk? We have probably had maybe a dozen words to speak to each other since today." Owen told Julia, not engaging with the conversation. "We've never worked together on a vote besides all of us sending Lorenzo home."
"We did work together when Dave was eliminated." Julia said, as she was lying through her teeth.
"Except you didn't. I voted Alejandro out that night and you voted Dave out." Owen told Julia back.
"Regardless. We need to work together and take out people like Justin and Trent." Julia told Owen, while keeping a mental note that Owen didn't trust her.
"Why would I take out Justin and Trent, what's in it for me as Noah's also been approaching me." Owen explained. "What, it's obvious you and Noah are working together."
"Okay look, Trent and Justin can only offer you at best 6th on this team, as they are closer with Bowie, Duncan, and Jen then you." Julia explained. "I will promise you that I can keep you and Jo safe until the bitter end." Julia said; however the latter part of the statement was a blatant lie.
At that moment Jo popped out of the water, "Come on Julia get to the beach!" Jo yelled out.
"Just please give my deal some thought, as I am not as mean as you think I am." Julia pleaded before making her way to the dock.
Before Owen could ponder what, Julia told him, Scott popped out of the water "Get going, we have to avoid last place." Scott yelled out as he started swimming.
Confessional- Owen
"I mean Julia brought some good points, I just naturally assumed Justin and Trent would keep me around, but I haven't talked to them that much. It's just that I don't trust Julia." Owen explained. "She can deny it, but I know she is not to be trusted."
Confessional- Julia
"Look, would I keep Owen or Jo until the bitter end?" Julia asked rhetorically. "Pfww oh hell no. Owen is right to be suspicious of me, while Jo and I have not worked well together since the first week. But I need their votes."
Back To Scene
Back in the water, Blaineley's voice was heard narrating "More duos continue to find the rings to advance to the second part of the challenge."
At that moment Katie, Geoff, Noah, and Brody were all shown simultaneously popping out of the water with a ring, "Great job Noah, you're doing amazing!" Sky called out.
"Oh my gosh." Noah told himself in happiness.
However, Katie, who was right next to Noah, overheard him "No way. Noah is in love." Katie beamed.
"Dude no way." Geoff said in shock.
"No, I'm not." Noah tried to deny, but the camera panned to Katie who looked unconvinced.
Confessional- Katie
"I have spent a fair amount of time with Noah, we were both eliminated real early on in Season 1, and didn't make Season 2. So, I know when he is his normal cynical crabby self. That wasn't him when he saw Sky compliment him." Katie observed. "It's kind of adorable." Katie awed.
Back To Scene
"Okay look, yes I do like her but please don't tell anyone Katie? Please!" Noah pleaded in desperation.
"Look okay, I promise I won't, but you should also do what makes you happy." Katie said as she swam away, and Noah was left confused more than anything.
Confessional- Noah
"Look I've not gotten soft around Sky, she makes me happy, and I like her company…." Noah said as his eyes widened. "Fuck. Am I in love with her?" Noah asked himself.
Back To Scene
The next person that popped out of the water was Cody, "Short stuff, where's the ring? Do you, have it?" Anne Maria barked.
"No, I don't." Cody said, pissed off.
"What a shocker, Cody sucking at a challenge, maybe I should have done it." Anne Maria said,
Before Cody and Anne Maria could continue arguing, Kitty popped out of the water "Kabling, got the ring Mickey!" Kitty called out.
Alejandro also popped out of the water, "Finally, got the rings, am I intruding on something here?" Alejandro asked Cody and Kitty.
"Nope, good luck Cody, see you soon." Kitty said as she swam away.
"Yeah, I have to deal with the biggest pain in the ass on the team." Cody said under his breath before diving back underwater.
Kitty and Alejandro were swimming to shore when Zoey popped up "Found it Topher!" Zoey called out.
"Zoey you're doing amazing, I'm so proud of you." Topher called out as Jen was standing behind him with a knowing smirk on her face, while Mickey was shown getting ready to run to shore.
"Great job Zoey!" Mickey also called out.
Back in the water Zoey, loved what Topher had to say squealed in delight, "He's so amazing."
"Someone is in love." Kitty told Zoey who looked flushed with embarrassment.
"No, it was a dolphin, yep." Zoey said lying as she was swimming away.
"Oh my gosh, you're in love with him." Kitty said before noticing Alejandro was still with them, "Hey Alejandro, if you don't mind Zoey and I were going to have some girl talk."
"Um, okay, I'll leave you to it." Alejandro noted awkwardly as he swam away.
Zoey looked around and now saw no one was within earshot. "Okay, look, yes I do like Topher still, but he is dating Anne Maria, as for Mickey a relationship with him I feel like wouldn't be genuine, even if dating Mickey wouldn't be the worst thing. I just don't think he likes me like that, and I don't either really." Zoey explained as Kitty looked like she was thinking.
Confessional- Kitty
"What I did is something I don't think was my proudest moment. But I have a good love detector, and I feel like this is to keep Cody and I together, not that he would leave me. I just also want Zoey and Mickey happy as well. Yep, that's it." Kitty explained, trying to convince herself at the very least.
Back To Scene
"Look I promise I won't say anything about Topher. But as someone who is close with Mickey, he may feel the same way and it would be genuine." Kitty said as she swam away and Zoey had a confused look on her face, contemplating what Kitty told her.
Coal Walkway
"With more teams finishing" Blaineley said as the episode showed Lindsay and Harold pulling out rings. "Our frontrunner duo makes it to the second challenge." Blaineley said as Heather and Courtney approached the coals.
"Oh boy, hot coals." Heather said as she looked nervous.
"Well, you're doing it." Courtney said in a nonchalant voice.
"What, why me?" Heather asked back.
"I already got the freaking ring." Courtney said in an annoyed tone and then sighed, "Look just do it. Scott and I will keep you safe. Just go!" Courtney impatiently barked out.
As Heather walks on the coals, the next duo that showed up was Jo and Julia. "Okay first of all I am not walking on coals." Julia sternly said.
"Trust me, I knew you wouldn't, what else do you want?" Jo asked.
"I know you've been talking with Sky about working together, and she and I want to work with you and take out someone in Bowie's alliance." Julia said. "I made a deal with Owen and that extends with you. I know we haven't seen eye to eye."
"That's an understatement." Jo said as she was now carrying Julia across the coals.
"Look we don't like each other but if either of us want to have a shot at the game, we need to take a shot at Bowie's group. Since we can't target him, we need to take one of them out. I am willing to keep you around until at least Top 20." Julia asked as Jo got off the coals.
Confessional- Jo
"Look, I don't trust Julia. I will gladly betray her or Alehandro the jerk. But this game is a numbers game, and Bowie has Trent and Justin while I only have Owen. So do I go with Sky, Julia, and Noah, or do I go with Bowie, Trent, Justin, and presumably Jen since she is so linked with Trent?" Jo asked herself.
Finish Line
At the finish line, there was a mat in a circle with Blaineley, in the shade in a chair with a coconut, as both of the duos of Heather/Courtney, and Jo/Julia "Congrats to both of you, both of you finish in 1st and 2nd. Also shocked you guys finished in one try."
"Please, I could handle that any day." Jo boasted. "Actually, get my feet in the water now!" Jo called out.
"Right behind you." Heather also said, running off screen.
Coal Walk
Back at the field of coals Owen and Scott had shown up and were getting ready with Owen being the groom and Scott being the bride, as Owen saw Scott look at Courtney in admiration, "She is so amazing and hot!" Scott told himself.
Owen found it amusing however and teased Scott, "Aw someone's in love. Just like Izzy and I maybe this place could be her and I's wedding-" Owen said until Scott interrupted.
"Say one more damn word, and I will make sure you sleep with your eyes open, and you will be more afraid of me than the plane." Scott threatened.
"Sir yes sir." Owen gulped in fear.
A little way away was another couple of duos in both Topher and Zoey along with Kitty and Mickey. Zoey and Mickey were grooms along with Topher and Mickey being brides. Zoey and Kitty however were still talking about both guys, "Hey Kitty, can you help me put this on properly?" Zoey asked as Kitty obliged. "So, you really think Mickey likes me and I should move on from Topher."
"Of course, I absolutely think he feels the same way." Kitty said, "I'll even ask for you."
Zoey was left confused, her and Mickey had really started to bond, but Topher was her best friend in the game, and deep-down part of her was hoping that Topher would eventually leave Anne Maria for her, but all of this felt off for Zoey and she couldn't figure out why she was feeling this way. Her thoughts however were interrupted by Topher, "Do I look embarrassing in what is supposed to be a skirt? I mean, I don't mind but it looks off. You don't mind carrying me, right?" Topher asked.
"No problem, I understand why you don't want to and besides maybe I will get stronger carrying you. Not that your fat, I just-" Zoey said, as Topher put his finger on her mouth.
"Just be quiet and carry me. You are doing perfectly." Topher told Zoey which did calm her down for the time being. "I do wonder where Anne Maria is, I know that she and Cody don't get along, but I figured they'd be here now." Topher said as the camera flashed away.
Ring Challenge
Back at the rings, each of the last 3 duos were waiting to finish, as Anne Maria, Damien, and Trent looked restless. At the same time, all 3 of Cody, Tyler, and Justin popped out of the water, "I got the ring." Tyler called out.
"Tyler, that's an electric eel!" Damien called out.
"What, oh shit!" Tyler said as he looked at the eel before getting shocked. "Ow, well I still have the ring, see?" Tyler said as he swam away.
"What about you Justin, we can't lose the challenge?" Trent asked as Justin showed a ring, "Awesome."
"Let me guess tiny, you don't have a ring?" Anne Maria asked impatiently at Cody. "I swear to god if there are no more rings you are getting an absolute beat down."
"You know what Anne Maria, your rage is out of control, when you're not even doing the freaking challenge." Cody yelled back.
"What did you say pipsqueak?" Anne Maria asked back in growing anger.
"You are a raging psychotic faker!" Cody called back, "Oh and here's the ring bitch." Cody said as he showed a ring and flipped Anne Maria off. "Meet me on the damn beach." Cody yelled in anger as he flipped her off again as he swam away.
"What a loser." Anne Maria told herself.
Coal Walk
Back at the coals a montage of people shown finishing.
"Owen and Scott get 3rd."
Owen responded by giving Scott a bear hug, "Gah! Can't breathe!" Scott complained.
"Zoey and Topher get 4th."
"Thank you, thank you so much." Topher said giving Zoey a hug, "You are such a great best friend." Topher said as Zoey blushed again, but was now wondering where she should go between Topher and Mickey.
"Geoff and Bridgette, you both finish in 5th."
"Thanks, Blaineley. Bridge, this place is so romantic." Geoff awed.
"Yeah, but where's the rest of our team? We can't lose another person." Bridgette worried.
"Come on babe, just relax while we are here in Hawaii." Geoff told Bridgette, and Bridgette reluctantly agreed.
"I'll go look at the sunset I guess." Bridgette said as she walked away to relax by herself.
Back at the beginning of the coal walk Gwen and Katie had arrived with Gwen looking nervous. "This is not a challenge I am too sure of." Gwen said as she held the groom part.
Katie decided at that moment to change positions and be the groom. "Here I'll take the coals, Gwen. It's what friends are for."
"Oh wow, thanks." Gwen said unaware that Katie was just doing this to make sure that Gwen wasn't going to target her like she did with Ella.
Soon afterwards both duos of Gwen and Katie along with Duncan and Brody finish in 6th and 7th as Brody went to look for his best friend Geoff while Katie decided to be by herself, "Pasty you look confused, what's going on?" Duncan asked once he and Gwen were alone.
"Oh um, it's nothing. Aren't you still annoyed with your team?" Gwen asked back, trying to avoid her guilt about targeting Ella the last round.
"Just the stupid alliance of myself, Trent, Justin, Bowie and Jen. Jen, I don't mind, but the other 3 never let my voice be heard." Duncan explained.
"Why are you even aligned with them? You hate Trent and I know for a fact that Justin and you don't get along at all." Gwen explained.
"Bowie is the reason, he and I get along and he is like the first friend I had on this team, as he encouraged me to break up with Courtney." Duncan told Gwen, as he explained his situation on his team.
"Why not get rid of Justin in order to get closer to Bowie?" Gwen suggested as the camera flashed away.
At the start of the coals was Sky and Noah, "You're wearing the skirt." Sky told Noah.
"Seriously? I can lift you across coals." Noah said in an offended tone.
"Really? Here arm wrestle Ezekiel right now." Sky asked.
Noah walked up to Ezekiel to prove Sky wrong, "Hey, Ezekiel, can you quickly arm wrestle me?"
"Why would I do that?" Ezekiel asked.
"I'm trying to impress Sky." Noah whispered in Ezekiel's ear.
"I understand." Ezekiel said, and quickly defeated Noah in arm wrestling as Noah glared at him. "What did I do wrong?"
"You were supposed to let me win, idiot!" Noah yelled as he walked back to Sky. "Fine, I'll wear the skirt."
"That's what I thought." Sky said as she handed Noah the skirt.
Back with Harold and now Ezekiel, "Arm wrestling comes in the family, my dad arm wrestled me for fun growing up. What more can I say." Ezekiel gloated.
"Wow." Harold said in shock.
"Wow good or wow bad?" Ezekiel asked back.
"Bad, I am sure Noah was trying to impress Sky, and you just embarrassed him. You should have thrown it for him to make him look like the good guy." Harold explained.
"Oh, I am sorry." Ezekiel said looking in shame. "Who's doing what with this challenge?"
"I am not wearing a skirt." Harold quickly stated.
"Why not, you're stronger than me." Ezekiel told back.
"In my middle school back home there is a guy named Jerry Finkel who got bullied and is now homeschooled since his last name rhymed with Tinkle. I am not wearing a skirt." Harold defiantly said.
"Are you sure you're up to this though?" Ezekiel asked.
"Game on!" Harold said.
End Of Challenge
A montage of people finishing was shown next, "Alejandro and Jen finish 8th, Sky and Noah finish 9th."
Mickey is shown struggling as he carries Kitty, "I got this. I got this!" Mickey told himself.
"Thanks, it means a lot." Kitty said as Mickey shook his head. "What, is something wrong?"
"Just a lot on my mind. Besides I am carrying you since that skirt I am allergic to, Ahchoo!" Mickey said as he sneezed.
"I know this must be tough, but still, it's the thoughts. I know you would do the same for Zoey." Kitty told Mickey who was caught off guard by what Kitty said. "You would, right?"
"Of course, she and I have gotten close as friends. Are you getting at something though, Ahchoo!" Mickey said before sneezing again.
"I was just talking to her, and she seems interested in you." Kitty said.
"What- ah choo! She said that? I mean she's nice, but she is just a friend." Mickey explained.
"Yeah, and so is Cody. But I feel like you and Zoey would make a cute couple." Kitty said as Mickey got off the coals, "Do you want me to carry you the rest of the way?" Kitty asked.
"Sure, I will also take what you said about Zoey in consideration." Mickey said.
"Kitty and Mickey, you finish in 10th."
"Yay" Mickey and Kitty cheered out.
"I hope Cody's okay." Kitty said as Mickey nodded his head.
"Damien and Tyler finish in 11th, while Harold and Ezekiel finish in 12th." Blaineley announced as both duos ran up to Kitty and Mickey. "Which leaves one duo left per team."
Confessional- Mickey
"I have never seen Zoey in a romantic light. Like at all." Mickey said. "Her and I are just friends, and I thought she was interested in Topher despite her dating Anne Maria. But I don't think I would ever see her in a romantic light at all." Mickey said before he started to smile. "There is someone else though I am realizing, but they would never date me."
Back To Scene
Each of the duos left were shown running on the coals as Millie was carrying Lindsay, Cody was carrying Anne Maria, and Trent was carrying Justin. However, while both the duos of Team Victory and Style were running, the duo of Anne Maria and Cody was walking. Luckily for them Trent ran back to the start when the grass skirt caught on fire.
"Ah fire!" Justin yelled in fear.
Due to Millie and Lindsay running they finished next in 13th place, "Yes, it's all mild over motor Millie." Lindsay said as Millie flinched.
"It's mind over matter. Lindsay, if there is another physical task can you please do it, as I can't feel my feet." Millie said as she collapsed on the ground.
"Oh, okay Millie. Let's go, we need to tell the others that we are all safe tonight." Lindsay said as she physically dragged Millie away.
Justin and Trent were in the water cooling off "That was the 4th skirt we have gone through. We should just throw the challenge." Justin said as Trent turned around shocked.
"Dude, what are you talking about? I don't want to throw a challenge after last season." Trent quickly said.
"Look between us two, Bowie, Jen, Duncan unfortunately, and Alejandro we'll be safe tonight. Besides I don't want to be near those coals one last time."
Luckily for Cody and Anne Maria, they were well on their way to finishing 14th for the challenge. However, neither of them was happy about it. "You better not get any fake tanner on my hands with me carrying your fat ass." Cody said in a snarky tone as Anne Maria smacked him in the face.
"You smell like smoked meat that is wimpy like a slice of bologna." Anne Maria insulted back.
"You know you shouldn't insult someone who can drop you on hot coals." Cody told Anne Maria as he continued to slowly make his way across.
"If you do that, I will make sure you and Kitty break up, as I know you well enough. You don't love her. I saw the Drama Brothers documentary. Does the name Jacque Flores sound familiar?" Anne Maria said as Cody stopped dead in his tracks.
"You wouldn't! I love Kitty no matter what you say." Cody said as he was now near yelling.
Cody and Anne Maria had finally made it to the finish line, "Let go of me runt." Anne Maria demanded.
"Gladly."
"You are the biggest dork and loser this show has ever seen." Anne Maria accused Cody and now the two were in a full formed argument.
"Oh please, I am repulsed by your presence. You are a total diva, with no ounce of dignity and humility. Not that you could understand those words. You are about as classy as your helmet head of hair if you even want to call it that, as that was probably an implant." Cody said as he decided that he was going to eviscerate Anne Maria with words.
"Ooh feisty, Cody. Way to show your true self." Anne Maria said as now everyone sans Trent and Justin was watching this argument.
"Uh Zoey." Topher asked.
"Yeah Topher." Zoey said in a meek tone.
"I'm scared. I didn't think Anne Maria was going to be this mad at Cody." Topher explained.
"I'm enjoying this so much." Scott said as he laughed as he also enjoyed this, as the argument was taking a target off of his back and Courtney's.
"I am so embarrassed right now." Topher said as he looked anywhere but the two arguing.
"Okay Cody, where do you get off on acting like such a tough guy, when you are as tough as butter being melted, it is a shame such a sissy like you has to fake so much about yourself." Anne Maria yelled back.
When Anne Maria called Cody fake, it unleashed a verbal monster within him, "I'm not physically tough, but mentally tough. Besides I know a good person when I see one and that is not you, you are the fake one. Your hair is a lie, your boobs are a lie, and your tan is a lie. In fact, the only honest thing about you are those little pimples on your forehead." Cody said.
The whole mood was silent, until Anne Maria began to lunge at Cody without a word, "Anne Maria, NO!" Topher called out as he grabbed Anne Maria completely and prevented her from beating Cody to a pulp.
"Go be in his arms. He deserves better than human trash like you!" Cody yelled back as Anne Maria kept swinging her arms around flailing.
"ENOUGH!" Blaineley yelled out as everyone including Cody, Anne Maria, and Topher were silent. "We have a little more class than this. From now on Cody and Anne Maria, you are not allowed to be within 30 feet of each other. If either of you two break this rule, I will personally send you out of the game. Do I make myself clear?"
"Yes." both Cody and Anne Maria said as both walked away in opposite directions before either did something they could regret.
"Great! Team Amazon, you get 2nd, Victory is in first and Team Style is sending someone home tonight."
Confessional- Topher
"Wow, that was probably one of the most intense moments ever. Cody was out of line to talk about my girlfriend that way, but she was wrong to let it get that angry and violent in general."
Confessional- Scott
"Ha, ha. I was thinking of how to keep myself, Courtney and Gwen safe had Team Amazon lost but with Cody and Anne Maria at each other's heads. I don't think I need to worry about that."
Confessional- Cody
"I don't care. I don't regret anything I said. Why should I?" Cody asked rhetorically. "She is a bitch. Also how does she know about the Drama Brothers documentary? That was something all of us pledged to never see the light of day for my sake." Cody explained, "Idon't care. What was shown wasn't me, I like Kitty, and girls in general. That documentary is a lie and could ruin my whole life" Cody ranted before catching his breath. "What was I saying?"
Pre-Elimination
After the challenge both Duncan and Bowie walked up to Trent and Justin, "You guys cost us the challenge." Duncan said.
"What happened over there, we heard yelling?" Justin asked.
"Cody and Anne Maria got in a huge fight. It was intense until Anne Maria called Cody fake, is there a reason why he would be offended by that?" Bowie asked.
"Nope, no reason." Trent quickly said as Justin looked at Bowie and hinted to him, they would talk later. "Look, we threw the coal challenge. We burned 4 skirts, and my feet are still killing me."
"Besides we have the votes." Justin said.
"Okay who are we targeting? Also, where is Jen?" Duncan asked.
"I think we should target Noah." Bowie said, as Bowie wanted Noah gone due to recognizing him as a smart mental player. "Also, Jen was talking with Sky about the fight."
"Shouldn't we get rid of Julia; we know she's targeting us." Duncan said in defense of Noah. "We know she's onto you, Bowie."
"So is Noah, and besides she is more useful in challenges. Noah lost an arm-wrestling contest to Ezekiel. Ezekiel!" Bowie said back.
"What do you two boy band members think, you have both been quiet." Duncan asked as he turned to both Trent and Justin who were still in the water.
"Look, I know that Julia is coming after us, but we all know Noah is smarter than Julia. We can get rid of Julia next. But Noah is the weakest link on the team and without him there is no way people like Owen and Julia work together." Justin explained.
"Okay, fine. I am going to go take a leak." Duncan said as he turned and walked away, and it was shown he had his fingers crossed.
Confessional- Duncan
"At this point, I am flipping on that group. Gwen's right, why don't I take out one of Justin or Trent. At the very least I need to find better allies. Because they suck and never listen to me."
Back To Scene
Duncan walked away and noticed Sky and Jen talking, before deciding to ignore them and began to walk over to Owen and Jo. "Please don't make me regret this." Duncan told himself.
"So, Julia also offered you a deal too, Jo?" Owen said as Jo nodded. "Wish there was a way we could send Alejandro home, but it feels like no one wants to take him out."
"Trust me I want that jerk gone." Jo said as she then saw Duncan approach. "What do you want piercings?"
"I want to talk to both of you. I know that both of you are in the middle, and I just want to let you know that Noah is the target." Duncan began to say.
"What Noah is the target? My little buddy?" Owen cried out.
"Owen, Owen, calm down!" Duncan said as he smacked Owen in the face. "Look Jo, who do you want to go home tonight?"
"Honestly both Justin and Noah could go. Sorry Owen, I know that you and Noah are close, but Noah is weak physically and strong mentally which we don't need. Also, he voted out Brick." Jo said before turning to Duncan. "Do you know why Noah, Sky, and Julia sent Brick home, Duncan."
"No clue. I didn't even think it was a good idea. I am ready to ditch Bowie's group, but that doesn't mean I want to vote them out tonight." Duncan said.
"Look, does anyone have a coin?" Jo asked. Duncan handed one in his pocket. "Here let's flip a coin, heads we vote out Noah, tails we vote out Justin. Fair?"
"I don't care." Duncan said as Owen solemnly nodded. Jo soon after flipped the coin as all 3 looked at the coin.
Confessional- Jo
"This coin flip means nothing, because at the end of the day….
Confessional- Duncan
"I will always do what's best for me.
Elimination Ceremony
The elimination ceremony started as everyone in Team Style was sitting on a bench. "Tonight, Team Style. 11 of you will become 10 and will be eliminated here in Hawaii. Head on to the small voting booth and stamp the passport you want. Let's get voting!"
Confessional- Bowie
"Absolutely nothing personal, but you are the weakest link."
Confessional- Sky
"I am sorry, but you don't serve any more purpose for my game."
Confessional- Julia
"This vote is what it is. Since I can't go for Bowie, his second in command will have to do."
Confessional- Owen
"I'm sorry, this vote is so hard. Jo, Duncan I am not honoring the coin flip. I vote for…."
Back To Scene
"The following players are safe with no votes….
Bowie" Bowie caught his marshmallow as he had a confident smirk on his face.
"Duncan" Duncan caught his and looked confident as well.
"Jen" Jen looked uneasy even after catching her marshmallow, she was happy that she was safe but felt nervous about the vote.
"Jo" Jo caught her marshmallow and ate hers glaring confidently at Duncan.
"Owen" Owen couldn't even eat his marshmallow as he looked down in guilt and shame.
"Sky" Sky caught hers and gave Noah a pat on the back.
"Julia, Alejandro and Trent"
Sky hugged Noah realizing he was in the bottom 2. "Good luck Noah, I will miss you if you leave."
"Geeze hopefully that's not the case." Noah sarcastically said as Sky chuckled
"Bottom 2 please step forward." Blaineley called as both Justin and Noah stepped forward. "You both have reasons for leaving tonight. Noah you are one of the physically weakest on your team and have never found much footing in the game. Justin you barely tried in today's challenge and instead you and Trent opted to lose the challenge entirely."
"You what? Are you two idiots kidding me?" Jo barked out in anger.
Jo's outburst however made Sky lose all confidence. "Oh no she didn't flip with us." Sky told Julia in a whisper. "Noah's gone!"
"Wait, hold out hope." Julia said even if her tone of voice didn't indicate she cared at all.
"The final marshmallow goes too." Blaineley said.
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
….. Noah, it's you!" Blaineley said after a dramatic pause and threw a marshmallow to the shocked Noah.
"Oh, thank god. Thank God!" Noah said in relief.
"Justin, that means you have been officially eliminated from Total Drama World Race, any final words?" Blaineley asked.
"This team is probably going to fail without me. Trent and Bowie good luck. Everyone who did vote for me, hope you can live with that decision. Peace out." Justin concluded as he walked away.
"I'll miss you." Trent and Bowie said at the same time as they looked at Justin and then each other sadly.
"Well Team Style, after that dramatic elimination, you are down to 10, get some shut eye, and I will see you tomorrow for our next destination. Good night!
Confessional- Owen
"I could never send my little buddy Noah home." Owen explained. "I am just sad to lose Justin. But I have Noah, Jo and now Duncan with me. Things are looking up. But Noah owes me, I kept him and Sky safe, so he needs to send Alejandro home next. I can only hope."
Confessional- Noah
"Holy smokes, I thought I was done for. But somehow, someway we got the votes to keep me. Serves Justin right for throwing the challenge. Seeing Sky, so hurt by the thought of me leaving, makes me realize I need her in this game, and she is amazing. Okay fine, I am in love with her."
Confessional- Sky
"Look, it was so scary that Noah was almost eliminated, as a…. friend. Yep, a friend. I have a boyfriend back home, Keith, I can't break up with him. At least not until it's in person. Noah understands, also I am glad that I told Jen what was going on and that happened, and she can trust me."
Confessional- Jen
"Hey everyone, I just wanted to say to all my followers that I'm doing well, and hopefully wherever we go next I can find something amazing to wear." Jen greeted the camera. "I know that everyone on my team underestimates me, but I will lean in on that. Justin was taken out due to being too big of a threat. Did I vote for him? Nope I voted for Noah. But Sky told me in advance that Justin was leaving, which while I do feel bad for Trent, that means he has more time for me. My main goal is keeping myself safe, and Trent."
Confessional- Alejandro
"How was I left out of the vote? I voted out Noah because he is a pain, but I was left out. I need to evaluate my game again. Something is not right."
Confessional- Julia
"Oh, getting rid of Justin, was only due to Bowie being immune but it is nice to see Bowie squirm, but I have one more target before I aim at Bowie. But I will still antagonize him and when he leaves, I will gladly kick him out the plane, door, or whatever it is."
Confessional- Bowie
"I see what Julia's doing and if she wants to get rid of my best friend. I will not hesitate and go for the jugular and get rid of her. When you mess with me, I don't get even, I get revenge."

Notes:
So, we visit Hawaii, and we have our Top 30. This was another challenge I decided to split into duos, due to the odd number I decided Bowie for immunity, just so it made sense when Julia targeted Bowie's group she couldn't target Bowie. This was also a challenge. I really wanted to focus on the couples given the Hawaii nature.
The song selection was due to the fact it is one of my favorite songs, and I wanted a more lighthearted playful song, even if some in this cast took it too seriously.
So, for the teams, first Team Victory. I will admit this team was one that I just couldn't think of much to give as all of the plots weren't needed to resolve yet, and couple wise Bridgette and Geoff are still in a similar spot relationship wise to what I alluded to last chapter. The biggest thing for Victory is Harold and Ezekiel's continued odd ball dynamic and Millie looking at Lindsay as her closest ally and the frustrations that come with it.
Now for Team Amazon, I knew I needed someone to be the Ryan and Stephanie of this chapter, but since neither Kitty and Cody nor Topher and Anne Maria were on the rocks like they were, I decided to have Cody and Anne Maria be at odds. With me using a reality TV fight for Cody's insults against Anne Maria.
Now let's talk about this chapter's eliminated contestant, and this time it's Justin. Early on in the story I thought of maybe making him a rivalry with Alejandro, but with how many people on the team unimpressed with Alejandro I decided against that. I knew Justin was going to be here for a while with the failed Noah alliance arc. So, I partnered him up with Bowie in the game. With Justin and Bowie, I didn't want anything romantic at all, but I wanted Bowie to help Justin come out and be his true self and have Julia kind of force that out in a way.
Once Justin came out as bi to Bowie, however, I had no more plots left for Justin, as his story arc was complete. So, getting rid of him in Hawaii when he is Hawaiian was a nice ironic twist I came up with. Also wanted his elimination and this episode be the turning part for more plots I have moving forward.
Next chapter is Dubai, specifically the Burj Al Arab, and this will be like the Brazil chapter where it won't be like the canon chapter, and the challenge will be an OG idea for this location. All I can say is that some truths are revealed, more arguments happen, and a kiss that two people are going to want to desperately keep secret at all costs happen. Until then see you next time! Please Review and leave feedback.
Chapter 19: Hello and Dubai
Summary:
The Top 30 spend an overnight trip to Dubai at the Burj Al Arab, but it is not a trip of luxury for them, instead they are put to work to serve some familiar faces. While some get to show their skills on display, others struggle. The past rears its head, ruining and altering future plans. Two people have a tense and rather romantic moment, shocking both. The challenge ends in a twist that no one sees coming at all.
Notes:
The longest chapter of the story so far in terms of words, as this clocked in at over 20,000 words. Enjoy!

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Hello and Dubai
Recap
"Previously on Total Drama World Race, our teams went to Hawaii for another duo challenge. as we had many interesting pairings." Blaineley said as footage of the cast landing in Hawaii, Ezekiel's allergic reaction to the orchids, and footage of Anne Maria and Cody arguing was shown, "No duo was more interesting than the explosive pairing of Anne Maria and Cody in the challenge."
"Kitty meanwhile tried to play matchmaker with Zoey and Mickey, as she felt nervous about how close Cody and Mickey were getting." Blaineley said as the footage showed Zoey swimming with Kitty.
"The losers for this challenge however was Team Style, as Justin and Trent threw the challenge at the last round, and Julia seized the opportunity enough to vote out Justin. With Bowie promising Julia was the next one to leave, while Jen revealed her strategy of being underestimated was on purpose."
"Tonight, we go to Dubai, where our final 30 get a taste of the service industry, and more drama, deals, and backstabbing happens. Find out what happens on Total Drama World Race!" Blaineley closed the recap, as the intro began.

You Guys Are On My Mind

You Asked Me What I Wanted To Be

Lindsay is then shown a picture of Tyler, confused about it as Beth, Sadie, and Katie try to explain who he is before a bear shows up scaring all of them and making them run away.
Cause I Wanna Be Famous
The person shown in the bear is Izzy who laughs, while Millie is shown writing in her notebook, Laurie winces at the sight, and Scott laughs as well about the whole thing until a seal comes and bites Izzy's hands making all of them run away.

(End Of Intro)
Hawaiian Beach
It was the morning after Justin's elimination with the sun just barely in the sky, as everyone was gathered, to where the last challenge ended and waited for the instructions from Blaineley and Chef. "Attention contestants, Chris is still going to be missing in action." Blaineley announced, gleefully.
"Where is Chris?" Topher asked in concern for the host at this point.
"He is still in talks with the producers after what happened in Newfoundland." Blaineley explained.
Total Drama Headquarters
The scene shifted to a business room, with many plaques as Chris was sitting in a chair, with a nervous expression "I'm telling you sir, this will never happen." Chris begged.
"You put this show's integrity on the line." A man's voice was heard. "I have vested interest in this season, as you and I both know."
"Yes sir. You know one of the contestants, and they came here of their own volition." Chris said. "Is there any way for me to retain hosting duties?" Chris asked, hoping to keep his job.
"I've been talking with the showrunners behind the scenes, and there is one scenario where you are still hosting when the jumbo jet is fixed. However you may not like it" the man's voice said off screen as he handed Chris a piece of paper.
"What, that is absolutely not fair at all! This is not right Mr. Strauss." Chris said, as he was shown angry and throwing his hands up in the air.
"It's either this or you are fired from hosting and Miss Blaineley has full control. Your choice." the aforementioned Mr. Strauss threatened as the camera flashed away.
Back To The Hawaiian Beach
Blaineley is back explaining the challenge, "We are going to say aloha to Hawaii as our next destination is Dubai."
"Oh my gosh, I love this." Jen said in excitement "It's an oasis of luxury."
"Maybe we'll get to visit the man made islands." Damien stated as everyone looked at him weirdly, "What? I want to see those in person."
"If I go shopping there, I know I'll get lost but the clothes and fashions they have there are to die for." Jen further said.
"Well there won't be much shopping as we will be going to Burj Al Arab for today's challenge entirely." Blaineley explained.
"Oh this is a luxury challenge, The Burj Al Arab is the only 7 star hotel in the world." Courtney explained as she was starting to feel some semblance of happiness ever since Duncan broke up with her in Jamaica.
"Victory you guys will be in First Class, Amazon and Style will be in second. Oh and the flight is going to be 17 hours, so rest, enjoy each other's company. Flight leaves at 6:30 and it's 6:15 so let's move everyone." Chef explained. "We are expected to land just before midnight."
"Oh my gosh we get luxury class Millie!" Lindsay cheered to her best friend. "I hope I get a full manicure as I could use it, and oh my gosh you could too." Lindsay said as she inspected Millie's hands.
"Uh, thanks Lindsay." Millie said awkwardly, wanting to just get on the plane regardless.
Confessional- Lindsay
"Ever since Beth left, I have been looking for a new best friend and Millie has really become that for me. Sure, she is a bit of a nerd, but so is Beth, and nerdy girls I always gravitate towards as best friends, when I am not at cheerleading practice. Millie is amazing!"
Confessional- Millie
"If someone would have told me that Lindsay and I would be close friends, I would have thought you were crazy. She does provide great research to say the least (pulls out journal) but regardless I do consider her a friend."
Economy Class
In the Economy class section, the seat belt button was shown flashing as Jo and Owen were shown sitting together with Owen sitting on top of Jo. "I know I'm supposed to have a seat belt on, but Owen is scared of flying and we don't know where Beary is, so I have to comfort Owen." Jo explained.
"Thanks Jo, you're the best, I hope you don't mind." Owen said with a huge chuckle.
"No problem, but we'll need to find Beary." Jo said as she struggled to move, and was annoyed but also knew Owen was her closest ally so she didn't want to upset him.
"You can handle this for 17 hours though, right?" Owen further asked, afraid he was rubbing Jo the wrong way.
"I'll tell you when I need to go to the bathroom, but other than that I should be fine. I'm the toughest person on our whole team." Jo explained with a huge confident smirk on her face.
Jen and Trent were seated together right next to Jo and Owen, with Trent looking worried. "Hey Trent what's wrong?" Jen asked at Trent, noticing his paranoid look.
"Ever since Justin left last night, I've just been panicking that I'm next after him." Trent said as he looked at the ground, with a frown on his face.
"I wouldn't worry, besides maybe we could align with another duo, like maybe Jo and Owen?" Jen suggested.
"That's not a bad idea, but I don't want to keep track of Owen again like I did the first season. I had to find out all the food that made him sleepwalk." Trent explained.
Jen raised her eyebrows at that, "Sleepwalking? What's so bad about that?" Jen asked, confused.
"He sleepwalks naked." Trent said as Jen looked grossed out.
"Okay, well we can still work with them vote wise, Owen has made it to the final 3 twice so he obviously has some smarts." Jen reasoned.
"Come on Owen put on the seatbelt." Owen told himself until he farted so badly the oxygen masks came down in Economy Class.
"Owen, I'll be back. I'm going to the bathroom where it smells better." Jo said as she and Jen were seen face to face, "Do you wanna talk?" Jo asked.
"Maybe when it airs a little better, but yes Jo. If that's okay with you?" Jen asked as Jo nodded.
On the other end of the plane was Zoey and Mickey sitting together with Mickey hunched down with his hands over his head, and two things of toilet paper where his nose is for his bloody nose, "Ow, oh my gosh, I can't feel my head, how much longer."
Heather popped up from behind, "It's only been 30 minutes you wimp." Heather sternly told Mickey.
Cody and Kitty who were sitting across from Mickey and Zoey watched Mickey in fear. "Come on Mickey, calm down buddy." Kitty said, as she held Cody's arm.
"It's okay babe I know Mickey's fine. He is my best friend on the team after all." Cody explained. "Zoey's got this."
"Then explain what he is doing now?" Kitty asked, looking scared and pointing back towards Mickey and Zoey.
Mickey was shown clawing and banging on the window, "Come on get me out of this death trap!" Mickey screamed as Zoey kept trying to grab his hand to calm him down even a little bit but it wasn't working at all, and Zoey could feel her fear going up.
"Look I'm going to go talk with Gwen for a bit, go help Mickey out Cody, please, for me? He tends to listen to you" Kitty pleaded as she saw Cody hang his head in agreement.
"Fine, babe." Cody said as he kissed Kitty's cheek, as Mickey was shown still screaming.
"I want out!" Mickey pleaded. However at that moment it wasn't Zoey holding Mickey's hand and it was now Cody.
"Come on buddy, please calm down, this isn't like you." Cody said as he pleaded back to Mickey, trying to calm him down, not wanting to see his best friend so worried. This had worked as Mickey's breathing began to get better.
Kitty, who was now sitting next to Gwen who had a solo seat, was sighing at the interaction between Cody and Mickey, "What's wrong?" Gwen asked.
Kitty was unsure whether to tell Gwen what she was thinking, but decided it was best to be honest since Gwen showed interest. "I just wish that Cody gave me the attention he gives Mickey."
"I wouldn't worry about Cody and his friendship with Mickey, he talked with me back in Brazil about how much he loves you before he even asked you out." Gwen explained as she wanted Kitty and Cody to stay together, as there was part of Gwen that would always worry about Cody crushing on her.
"That's a relief." Kitty said as she sighed into her seat next to Gwen.
"I mean Cody is just a really friendly guy, he gets along great with anyone. During Season 1, Cody was probably the most liked person on the Gophers, he and Owen were pretty much the only ones who talked to Noah, besides Leshawna, Trent and I considered Cody our closest ally. That and during Season 2, Heather told me that Cody was a loser but he was one of the more tolerable people in Season 1. I've always said that if Cody wasn't mauled by a bear, he was likely to win the whole thing." Gwen explained as Kitty, had an unsure look the more Gwen went into detail.
The camera pulled back and showed a now calm Mickey, with Cody and Zoey. "Should I leave you two guys alone for some guy time." Zoey asked.
"No, I want you here with us!" Mickey and Cody said at the same time, before awkwardly looking at each other.
"Um, uh okay. I'll stay with you guys." Zoey awkwardly said, wishing she was anywhere else.
Confessional- Zoey
"After Cody calmed Mickey down, and I asked if the two guys wanted to be left alone, it was like something changed with Cody and Mickey and both desperately wanted me there so both wouldn't be alone together, and I honestly don't get it."
Start of Challenge
All 30 contestants, along with Blaineley and Chef stepped off the bus, and got a look at the hotel at night, with almost everyone being in awe, "This looks amazing!" Topher said in astonishment.
As everyone entered the hotel, the astonishment continued, "This place is just amazing. The richest of the rich probably reside here." Mickey stated, looking in awe at his surroundings.
"Agreed, don't you think so, Kitty?" Cody asked as Kitty kissed his cheek as reaffirmation
"Can you two please stop being so affectionate?" Heather asked, annoyed at the two of them.
As everyone continued in the lobby, many people noticed that something was off. The lobby was completely empty, something that Sky voiced, "Where is everybody?" Sky asked.
Blaineley chuckled at what Sky said, "The staff has the night off. Because you will be filling in for their roles."
"Nuh uh. No way. We aren't hired to help." Heather protested.
"Besides we know nothing of how this place is runned." Noah also said in protest. "This feels like we are being set up to fail."
"Not exactly, we are going to have 5 stations per team, two of you will be on the service desk, two of you will be bellhops, two of you will be window washers, two will be waiters, and one person will be a Chef. So nothing too difficult, as the menu for the chef is also very basic as well." Blaineley explained.
"Well then, who gets what position then?" Duncan asked.
"For Team Victory, we will start with you, the service desk workers will be Lindsay and Millie."
"Ooh yay, what is that?" Lindsay asked.
"We get to deal with the customers walking in, let me handle it." Millie explained to Lindsay, nervous about being partnered with Lindsay for the challenge.
"The bellhops are Harold and Ezekiel"
"Seriously, I have to carry people's luggage?" Harold asked in anger, "I have no upper body strength at all."
"I could do all the heavy lifting, as I did that a lot back on the family farm. Once I carried a pig that went loose." Ezekiel said, as he and Harold had an awkward silence after that comment.
"Geoff and Brody are window washers, while Damien and Tyler are waiters, which leaves Bridgette as the chef.."
"Oh dude, Damien this is perfect. Leshawna and I participated in a show called Restaurant Ravage, I took orders in a race and got to roller skate on set." Tyler explained, in pure glee thinking he was going to do great at the challenge.
"Um, okay. Tyler, I trust you know what you are doing." Damien said, as he gulped in fear, nervous that Tyler's clumsiness was going to get the better of him.
Confessional- Brody
"Me and my bro Geoff get to window wash today? Awesome, it sucks the sun is sleeping dudes, as I would love to get a tan. But at least I am not Damien who is stressing. It's like my momma always said, stressing and obsessing about someone or something else is no fun."
Back To Scene
"Team Style, the service desk is Jen and Bowie, bellhops are Duncan and Trent."
"I have to dress like that?" Duncan asked, as the camera panned to a red trench coat with buttons, as that was the bellhop's outfit along with tight black dress pants.
"Yep, now shut it sissy." Chef barked. "Blaineley continue, please."
"Gladly, Noah and Owen are the window washers, waiters are Julia and Sky, and that means Alejandro you are the chef."
"Oh great, more physical labor." Noah sarcastically said, annoyed at being a window washer for the day.
"Last up is Team Amazon. First up is the service desk, which will be Courtney and Scott."
"Courtney's not in the right headspace to interact with people, she's going to be a disaster." Katie worried.
"Bellhops are Gwen and Kitty."
"Well this sucks." Gwen complained at the thought of her having to carry people's stuff for hours constantly.
"Oh it could be fun, we just need to find something to carry the luggage." Kitty explained, as she was trying to lift Gwen's spirits.
"Topher is the head chef."
"Yes, oh my gosh yes!" Topher cheered out.
Mickey however, was shocked by Topher's excitement. "Why are you so happy? You don't seem like the culinary type."
"Growing up, my mom and I always cooked, provided I was doing the stuff that wouldn't hurt my face." Topher explained, as he sighed at the end thinking of his mother.
"Waiters are going to be Zoey and Anne Maria."
"Ugh! I hate this, people serve me, I don't serve people." Anne Maria complained, as almost everyone on the team looked at her with an egregious look, at her complaining.
The camera showed each of Katie, Heather, Cody, and Mickey, two of them knowing they would sit out of the challenge today, while two of them knowing they would be window washers, something that Mickey dreaded. "The window washers are… Cody and Mickey!"
Mickey's world felt like it stopped to a halt when his name was announced, as he had a huge fear of window washing, specifically the squeegees. "No, nope, no way. I can't wash windows, the squeegee noises are enough for me to have a panic attack. I can't do it."
Blaineley had a mockingly unsure look on her face, "Hmm let me think about it? Nope. Toughen up Mickey. The decision is final. Now for our sitouts, Katie, Heather, and Jo, you three get a midnight spa reward tonight and are safe tonight, and as an added bonus since this is such a luxurious challenge, this safety extends until you go to an elimination ceremony. Congratulations ladies." Jo, Heather and Katie cheered at the news of the safety, while many people glared at the situation.
Mickey however was still panicking, "I can't do it, I can't do it! I am going to die, I am going to freaking die!" Mickey said as he was now visibly shaking.
"Stop being so overdramatic." Blaineley complained. "Anyways, the challenge starts now, so everyone needs to get in position."
Confessional- Cody
"Look, things have gotten somewhat awkward between Mickey and I lately. I don't know why, as I thought we were best friends. But seeing him so freaked out, I am going to make sure he is okay and can hopefully calm down. Since apparently I am the only one who can calm him down. Heh, maybe I am just gifted and should be a therapist? Nah."
Confessional- Mickey
(Mickey is shown breathing into a paper bag) "Squeegees, heights, Cody, I can't do it. This can't be happening. I could die today, I may die today!" Mickey screamed out as he began breathing back into the bag before it exploded in his face.
Outside The Hotel
Blaineley came on the screen, and began talking solo to the camera people, "What these contestants don't know however is that the guests they will be serving are all of the past eliminated contestants. Okay well not all of them, each team's first 5 members who were eliminated, so Team Victory has to serve…" Blaineley began saying as the camera flashed showing icons of each person, "Laurie, Beth, DJ, Cameron, and Leshawna. Team Style has Lorenzo, Izzy, Dave, Eva, and Brick. Lastly Team Amazon has to serve Sadie, Chase, Sierra, Emma, and Ella. This challenge will go in the elimination order of the past 15 contestants, so first up will be Lorenzo." Blaineley said as the camera cut back to the lobby.
Hotel Lobby
In the hotel lobby, everyone that was a front desk worker for the night was sitting at their desk, the camera zooming in on Jen who was reading a fashion magazine, "Dubai fashion is great!" Jen told herself.
"Girl you could rock anything. You're almost as fashionable as me." Bowie told Jen, with a humble brag about himself. He was drinking some coffee as he didn't get much sleep on the plane ride to the hotel so he was trying to make sure he was wired to stay awake. Unfortunately for Bowie, he was stunned at seeing Lorenzo in front of him and spit his coffee out with it landing on Lorenzo.
"Dude gross." Lorenzo said as he began wiping himself clean. "What was that for?"
"I just didn't expect to see you until the season finale, or whenever I am eliminated." Bowie said defensively.
"Well regardless, I have a room to book. What's my room?" Lorenzo asked.
"Your room is Room 514, for yourself. Anything else?" Jen asked, in a positive tone, that could easily fool anyone into thinking she actually liked them.
Said nice voice did fool Lorenzo however, "Maybe when the challenge is over sweet cheeks we can hang out together alone." Lorenzo suggested in a flirty tone, that would make any sane person gag.
"Ew gross." Bowie, Lindsay, Millie, Courtney, and Scott all said at the exchange as Lorenzo made each cringe so much on the inside.
Jen was also grossed out, but while she cringed, she realized how to make Lorenzo leave her sight, "You need to get over yourself. I remember you saying you had a stepbrother?"
"Yeah what about it, hot stuff." Lorenzo said, still flirting.
"Well maybe you have an inferiority complex, because he would never be the first boot." Jen said as Lorenzo was left stunned and grabbed his hotel key without saying a word.
Bowie, realizing that this twist potentially was wanted to talk to Lorenzo, in order to eliminate Julia, but he left before he could even think of saying anything. "First of all girl, thank you for reading his filthy ass. But if we see another teammate I need to talk to them, as I want to get rid of Julia."
"I'll try to remind you." Jen said as she reread her fashion magazine.
Team Style Bellhops
Lorenzo was shown with a scowl as Trent and Duncan were carrying his luggage, with neither of Duncan and Trent happy at all, as both did not care for Lorenzo, and both hated being partnered next to each other. "Come on dudes hurry up. I want to get to my room already." Lorenzo complained.
"Dude shut up already. Your negative attitude, and overconfidence is why we all got rid of you first." Trent said as he snapped at Lorenzo.
"What's your problem John Mayer?" Duncan sarcastically said.
"Well let's see here Duncan, you and I have never gotten along, and oh you also voted out my best friend." Trent accused Duncan, and soon after threw Lorenzo's items into his room. "Go ahead and enjoy Lorenzo!"
Squeegee Portion
Lorenzo entered his room and noticed his windows were dirty "Looks like I will have to mark them down."
The camera panned over to Owen and Noah outside still working on the window, "Come on little buddy this could be fun." Owen stated.
"Yes, because standing outside on a cool summer night washing windows in Dubai is going to be amazing." Noah sarcastically stated, as he just wanted to be with Sky.
"I am happy to be with my little buddy." Owen said, giving Noah a small hug. "But we should discuss some strategy, is that what you call it Noah?"
"Yep, what do you want to talk about Owen, we probably have a few hours?" Noah asked.
"Well I just wanted to make sure we are getting rid of Al, I want him gone so badly." Owen pleaded, knowing that Alejandro still hated him.
"I promise next time, I will vote out Alejandro, next time. I promise buddy." Noah reassured.
"You promise?"
"Yes, why? What would happen if I spared him again." Noah asked, confused at what Owen was alluding to.
"Well if Alejandro stays again, I may want to take out Julia or even Sky buddy." Owen explained, as Noah jaw dropped as the scene cut away,
Restaurant
Lorenzo headed down to the restaurant area by this point, "Who's next of my former teammates?" He got his answer when he saw Julia and Sky in the waitress uniform, which was just a basic cooking apron with the total drama logo on them.
"Hello, welcome to the Total Drama Restaurant, where reality show rejects dine and get served by potential future rejects, how may I help you?" Julia said in a fake happy tone.
"You can help me, by meeting me after this night in my room." Lorenzo said as he tried to flirt with Julia, only for Julia to grab him by the throat, "What's what's your damage?" Lorenzo choked out.
"Julia, back down!" Sky said, as Julia set Lorenzo free, and walked away in disgust while Sky looked in concern. "Sorry about that."
"Man that is so hot." Lorenzo said, as he now disgusted Sky as well.
"You are absolutely disgusting." Sky said in disgust, and hating Lorenzo more.
Alejandro, who was the head chef for the challenge, popped his head out of the window, "Amiga what is the order, Julia is nowhere to be seen. I need to know what he wants."
"Duh I want a hamburger, I am a man who likes his meat." Lorenzo proudly claimed.
Tyler and Damien, who were the waiters for Team Victory, saw the exchange and both were left stunned that Lorenzo was so casually cruel and sexist. "That dude is gross. Thank goodness I am not like that." Damien said.
"Right, I would never ever treat my Lindsay that way." Tyler said defiantly.
"Well first of all, Lindsay is no longer yours. Ever since Newfouldland, and why the heck won't you show her that you do care about her?" Damien asked.
"Because she never believes me anymore. I could tell her she is my everything, and I don't know if she'll believe me." Tyler explained back.
Challenge Voting Booth
Lorenzo had finished his meal and was escorted to a room at the center of the hotel, "What's this, oh give scores 1 out of 10. Service, well Jen was kind of hot, and Bowie didn't bug me. I will go with a 7. Duncan and Trent get a 5 as bellhops, Owen and Noah get a 1 as the window was disgusting, like Owen is. Sky and Julia get a 4, and Alejandro's burger was perfect, so a 10." Lorenzo said which gave Team Style 27 points.
Hotel Lobby
The second person to show up was the vegan Laurie, and she had to go to Millie and Lindsay. "Hi Laura." Lindsay greeted.
Laurie, flinched hating that her name was misremembered, with Millie quickly trying to make the situation less awkward. "Lindsay always forgets names Laurie. How have you been?"
"Oh I have been great, happy to be away from the show. Also made a great best friend out of DJ." Laurie explained. "He and I have many similar interests. He is great"
"Awe, I am so happy for you. Looks like you are staying in room 506. Here are the keys to your room! Harold, Ezekiel carry her stuff!" Millie called out but saw that no one was coming.
"Where are they? Please don't tell me I have to carry this all by myself." Laurie complained.
Hotel Basement
The scene showed a dark room, with a dingy light that barely kept the room bright, as Harold and Ezekiel were barely visible. Both were trying to find something easier to make carrying the suitcases. "This basement is straight out of a horror movie. It's like I am in a Scream movie, and I am waiting for Ghostface." Harold noticed freaked out about the room.
"I still think this is unnecessary Harold, eh." Ezekiel said as he was looking through stuff.
"Dude, this is for both of us." Harold said as he saw a large contraption that could easily hold a lot of weight and be pushed around. ""This is perfect for us. Oh my gosh!" Harold cheered out.
"Fine eh. I will do it on one condition." Ezekiel said.
"What's that condition?" Harold asked, confused.
"I ride this up the stairs as you push it and me up the steps Eh.' Ezekiel asked, in a sincere tone. Wanting Harold to earn the friendship between them.
Harold briefly looked like he was considering it but decided against protesting "Fine."
Hotel Room
Laurie had dragged her stuff by herself into the room, as she saw Geoff and Brody, "Aw those guys Geoff and Brody, they are so nice."
Geoff and Brody however didn't recognize Laurie. "Oh who's that girl? She looks kind of neat." Brody stated as he waved at her.
"I don't know, but she seems cool." Geoff said as he and Brody kept on working.
Restaurant
Laurie, disappointed that neither Geoff or Brody recognized her, and barely acknowledged her when she made it to the room, went into the total drama restaurant, and saw Damien and Tyler. "Hello, I would like to order."
"Yes, what would that be Laurie?" Damien asked.
"Just a simple salad." Laurie meekly said.
"Right away, Tyler's got this!" Tyler called out before crashing into a wall. "Ow!"
"Tyler, you write the orders down, I will hand them to Bridgette." Damien explained to Tyler who was still in pain and now crestfallen.
"Don't worry guys, I already got it." Bridgette said as she was shown handing them a basic salad. Damien handed it over to Tyler, before walking back up to the injured Tyler.
"This isn't the challenge to impress Lindsay, when she isn't even here." Damien whispered to Tyler, who got up off the ground, distraught at what Damien told him.
Voting Booth
"So my scores are Lindsay and Millie get 8 points, Harold and Ezekiel get 0 by default. Sorry guys. Geoff and Brody get 7 for being on time for my window, Tyler and Damien get a 6 for providing a few laughs, and Bridgette gets a 10, as the salad was amazing, and Bridgette even showed me the recipe." Laurie told the cameras as the score showed Team Victory with 31 points.
Hotel Lounge
Back in the hotel lounge, and while the group figured out who the guests were, no one could be prepared for who came next. Aka Izzy. Izzy came sprinting into the lobby "It's Izzy time!" Izzy yelled out, as she crashed into the service desk of Jen and Bowie.
"Oh my gosh!" Jen yelled out, setting her magazine down, and ran right up to Izzy. "Oh my, are you okay?" Jen asked, helping Izzy up to her feet.
"I'm fine, just wanted the headrush." Izzy explained, clearly unaffected by the damage she did to her head.
Jen internally flinched, but noticed what Izzy was wearing and was transfixed, "I never noticed this before, but what you're wearing is truly amazing. How'd it come to be?" Jen asked.
"Oh this thing?" Izzy asked nervously. "I made it by myself and my family when we camped in a jungle for a month." Izzy said before she paused. "Wait if you two are here, that means Owen is here. Where's my sugarboo?" Izzy demanded.
"Here's your key, Room 211. Second floor." Bowie said, as he walked up to Izzy and Jen handing her the key. "Trent and Duncan! Take care of her stuff."
Jen and Bowie went to sit back at their desk, with Jen looking over to Bowie, "Why didn't you ask her about taking Julia out of the game?"
"It's Izzy, she's fucking nuts." Bowie explained, shuddering at having to even interact with her, which Jen agreed with even if she was able to be nice and cordial towards Izzy.
At the desk for Team Amazon, Courtney and Scott were shown sitting together, as Scott looked at the Izzy interactions nearly bug-eyed, "Wasn't that the girl you almost got into a physical fight with over a million dollar case in the first season?" Scott asked.
"Yep, she was. I just want to get this challenge over with as I don't want to see any of my former teammates." Courtney said, complaining.
Hotel Room
Izzy had now made her way into her hotel room, with Duncan and Trent setting her stuff down without a word, as neither wanted to speak to Izzy or each other. Izzy walked into her room, and noticed on the desk of her hotel room a picture of her family "Oh my gosh, so cute." Izzy awed before looking up and seeing Owen, "Oh My gosh! Owen"
"Izzy!" Owen also called out as despite their being a glass window between them, the two were practically making out again.
"Ew gross. Can't you guys do this some other time?" Noah asked.
"But we may never get to again." Owen pleaded, before turning around to face Noah, "Unless you want to talk about sending Sky home if Alejandro stays any longer."
"Okay, look I will vote out Alejandro with you. I just don't get why you think threatening Sky's spot in the game is the way." Noah said as Izzy could tell her almost makeout session with Owen wasn't going to happen.
"Because you sent my second best friend home in Brick, Noah." Owen said going back to scrubbing windows as Izzy had left by that point, leaving Noah still stunned that Owen had grown a spine and was now in Noah's eyes guilt tripping him.
Hotel Restaurant
Izzy had made her way to the restaurant by this point, and was sitting at her table, "I will take the explosive burrito, with extra hot sauce." Izzy ordered.
"How fitting." Julia said as she rolled her eyes.
Julia and Sky were walking to the kitchen window to inform Alejandro about the order, with Sky wanting to talk some game while she could "While we have some alone time, who's the next target on the team?" Sky asked.
"Heck if I know. I haven't completely decided but I will let you know." Julia said. "But we are definitely going to keep Alejandro." Julia also said as she noticed Alejandro showing up.
"I assume the explosive burrito for the orange haired senorita?" Alejandro asked, showing the plate of food.
"Of course, it's Izzy." Sky noted, as she picked up the plate. "Thanks Alejandro." Sky and Julia walked back over to Izzy's table and handed the food to her. "Here you go."
"Ooh boy. Meh, I don't need the silverware." Izzy said as she began eating the burrito sloppily with no silverware and even face first.
"Ew you animal. Here's some napkins." Julia said as she handed napkins to Izzy before turning around disgusted.
Voting Booth
"Okay, so I give Bowie and Jen an 8 as Jen is so nice, Duncan and Trent get a 5 as they didn't talk to me, but they weren't rude. Owen and Noah get a 10 as I love my big O. Even though there was a window between us, Owen was still with me and we got to make out. Oh right scoring, Sky and Julia get an 8, and Alejandro gets a 9. Good luck Team Style, love you Owen!" Izzy called out as she gave Team Style 40 more points boosting their total up to 67 points."
Hotel Lobby
Sadie made her way to the lobby as the fourth guest, "Oh my gosh this building is so beautiful." Sadie said in admiration at her surroundings. Sadie walked up to the desk and wasn't pleased at all seeing Courtney.
"Welcome to the hotel, Sadie, how are you?" Courtney asked in an annoyed tone.
"Yeah hi, whatever." Sadie said wanting to end the conversation.
"What's your problem?" Courtney asked Sadie, irritably.
"You cost me twice now in this game, so why should I pretend to be nice to you anymore? Just give me my key." Sadie demanded. "Do you have anything to say Scott?"
Scott was silent for a few seconds before speaking up and saying something that would destroy Sadie, "Yep, you should be the one to carry your own luggage as you can afford to shed a few pounds so the guys stop only focusing on just Katie when you are out together in public." Scott sneered at Sadie.
"You…. You ASSHOLE!" Sadie yelled out, crying with her luggage and running away distraught.
"Wow. Thanks Scott." Courtney said, appreciative of Scott defending her.
"No problem." Scott said, with a proud smile on his face.
Confessional Scott
"What, if someone is going to be awful to my best friend and future girlfriend, I will bite back. Sadie had it coming."
Hotel Hallway
Sadie had made her way over to Gwen and Kitty, happy to see people that weren't Scott or Courtney, but still annoyed she didn't see Katie. Luckily since Sadie only had one large duffle bag, that wasn't heavy, it was an easy lift. "Thank you Sadie for not having a heavy bag. I dread what someone like Chase has since he is all about stunts." Gwen said, happy with Sadie.
"You know what this reminds me of?" Kitty asked. "My sister Emma, when she moved into her college dorm for law school."
"That's cool. My goal would be more of an art school type. When the challenge is done Kitty, I can show you and Cody some of my artwork." Gwen told Kitty.
"What about you Sadie, do you know what you want to pursue?" Kitty asked, as she took her turn holding Sadie's bag.
"I don't know actually. Oh gosh, I've never thought that far ahead. I know that Katie is interested in an arts and craft style of school and job. But I don't think that's for me." Sadie said, as she looked sad. "I didn't get to ask earlier but is Katie part of the challenge today so I can see her?" Sadie asked.
"She's a sitout today actually, her, Heather, and Jo. I fear for Katie since Heather and Jo just seem like two that will clash." Gwen said, shuddering at the thought of Jo and Heather interacting together.
Spa Hotel
The show flashed to the spa at the hotel, with each of Jo, Heather, and Katie sitting together on comforting chairs getting their feet taken care of, "I'm just going to say one more time, that this isn't my thing, and I would've rather been at the gym."
"But Chef and Blaineley said all 3 of us have to be together at all times." Katie explained.
"That and I would rather be at a spa than at the gym." Heather further said.
"Agreed. Hey, since we are going to be here for a few hours more than likely given the nature of this challenge. Is there any way the 3 of us could work together?" Katie asked, as she was desperate for allies.
"Wait really Katie? You'd actually work with me?" Heather asked in astonishment, "You voted me out." Heather noted. "What's the reason?"
"I'm desperate for allies, and I think all of us are in the same boat." Katie explained, "Heather, now that Emma's gone, who do you have on the team as a number?" Katie asked as Heather was left silent.
"What about me?" Jo asked. "You're not even on my team so you don't know my situation."
"I can figure that one out." Heather said, turning to face Jo. "You're only aligned with Owen on your team, and I know you hate Alejandro." Heather bloated.
"Well he's an ass. He is selfish, and a jerk." Jo said growing more angry.
Katie, who had focused on her spa treatment, looked over to Jo ranting, ""What's she going on about?"
"She's ranting about Alejandro." Heather explained.
"Oh him, I feel nervous saying this as I didn't even tell Ella this, but I think he was responsible for when Sadie left." Katie explained as Heather grinned. Pleased with both Jo's ranting and Katie's suspicions of Alejandro as she finally had common ground with both of them.
Hotel Room
Sadie had made her way into her hotel room, only to look out and see the windows in her room were left untouched, "Aw what a shame. Where is Cody and Mickey?" Sadie asked herself.
The screen zoomed out to show Cody and Mickey at the top of the building, with Cody on the platform, "Come on Mickey, it's just washing windows."
"I'm not doing it, no! I can't! I can't handle the sound of windows getting washed." Mickey pleaded, in fear.
"Okay." Cody told himself. "Let's just do this step by step. Just step onto the platform with me Mickey. Can you at least do that?" Cody asked.
"I… I can do that." Mickey said as he stepped onto the platform, that would be used to clean windows.
"Now we lower it." Cody said as he went to one end of the platform, unfortunately before Cody could call out for them to drop the platform down lower, the sound of squeegee was heard and Mickey panicked.
"Aah! That noise! Get me off of this thing!" Mickey said as he hit his lever on his end as hard as possible. Cody barely had enough time to react before he and Mickey were freefalling on the edge of the building both screaming in fear of their lives.
Hotel Restaurant
Back at the hotel, and specifically the restaurant, Sadie had sat down and had taken Scott's words to heart, "I'll take a salad." Sadie sadly said looking down.
"I'll take care of it." Anne Maria said walking away, still annoyed she was partnered with Zoey for the challenge.
"Ew, oh my gosh is that her fake tanner on one of our menus?" Zoey asked, picking it up from Sadie's hands.
"Yep it is, gross." Sadie said, trying her best to not gag if the salad ends up with fake tanner. "How much of that stuff does she use?"
"At least 3 cans a day." Zoey said, looking grossed out still.
"Sadie wants a salad, Topher!" Anne Maria called out. "You know I figured she would opt for a steak instead." Anne Maria said, chuckling at her joke.
"Anne Maria, stop that! Otherwise, you're no better than people like Courtney, Heather, and Scott." Topher said, annoyed with his back turned to Anne Maria while making the salad. "Here you go." Topher said sternly, handing the plate to her.
"Geeze, what's his problem?" Anne Maria asked herself incredulously. "Here's the salad."
Anne Maria walked away for a tanner break as she dubbed it in her head while Zoey sat down with Sadie to enjoy her meal. "Don't worry, I'm not mad at you. It's Anne Maria, if I mark you down it's not because of you, it's all because of her."
"Thanks Sadie. I'll make sure to tell Katie you said hi. It's great to be reunited." Zoey excitedly said. "Oh and I will say you do a great job with your makeup. I don't know if you have thought of it, but I can absolutely see you join cosmetology school."
"Wait, oh my gosh you are right, thank you Zoey. Oh and tell Topher he did a perfect job with the salad. I hope you guys can end up together." Sadie said, catching Zoey off guard completely. But the two enjoyed talking beyond the topic of Topher for the next 10 minutes while Topher was in the kitchen and Anne Maria took a break.
Voting Booth
Sadie found the voting booth soon afterwards, "I'm giving Courtney and Scott a 4, just because while harsh Scott didn't say anything false. But still they are both so mean. Gwen and Kitty get a 9, they are both so awesome. I'll give Mickey and Cody a 1, as I want to assume they are doing the best they can, Anne Maria and Zoey get a 3 and that is solely due to Zoey. Topher gets a 10 as he can cook so well. Sadly, I couldn't see Katie and talk to her, but she'll be okay without me. Good luck everyone." Sadie called out.
Hotel Lobby
Back in the hotel lobby the next person up was Beth. She was most excited to be reunited with her best friend Lindsay, and as soon as she made her way into the lobby, she saw her best friend. "Oh my gosh, Lindsay!" Beth yelled out running straight towards Lindsay.
"Beth, oh my gosh, oh my gosh!" Lindsay said as Beth almost tackled her to the ground in the lobby.
Millie awkwardly walked up to the BFF's "Am I intruding on anything here?" Millie asked.
Lindsay and Beth stopped hugging, as Lindsay still beamed with excitement while Beth had a neutral expression on her face. "Oh my gosh Beth. This is my other best friend, Millie."
"I'm familiar with her." Beth said, as Millie felt now both nervous and awkward with Beth now.
Lindsay had luckily managed to steer the conversation, "Hey Beth you've seen the show so far. What are Tyler's intentions overall?" Lindsay asked, wondering what to do with her relationship with Tyler.
"I can't explicitly say anything. But I do think Tyler always has love for you." Beth said as she turned her head towards Millie, "and doesn't have bad intentions." Beth said, clearly implying something towards Millie.
All of a sudden however Lindsay had a look of worry and her lips made an o shape, "Oh, I have to go to the bathroom break." Lindsay said. "Millie watch the desk, I'll be right back."
As Lindsay left, Millie however was immediately sensing the animosity that Beth had for her, "Hey Beth, now that it's just us, do you wanna talk?"
"Not really, no. All I really wanna say is that Cameron told me about your journal." Beth said, matter of factly.
Millie was now fearful that Beth knew what she wrote, "What did he say?"
"He just said you write in it." Beth calmly said, before stepping closer to Millie, "But this whole journal thing, if you in any way use it against Lindsay, just know that I will be there to make sure karma comes back to bite you. Because Lindsay has been through enough crap. She doesn't need any fake friends. Now can you hand me the key?" Beth said, as her demeanor went from threatening to calm.
Hotel Hallway
Beth had looked in the hallway for Ezekiel and Harold, for upwards of 10 minutes before noticing both of them standing behind an item that looked like a cart of sorts. "What the heck is that?" Beth asked.
"It's a luggage cart we found in the basement, Ezekiel doesn't think this is a good idea." Harold boasted.
"I just think I have enough physical strength to carry people's stuff by myself." Ezekiel defended.
"That's fine, let's put my stuff on here and see how it goes." Beth said as she put her stuff on the cart, and Harold easily pushed the cart with Ezekiel. "Looks like Harold's right Ezekiel." Beth gloated.
"Ok eh." Ezekiel said weakly.
"Oh and Harold I wanted to tell you that Leshawna misses you so much. She talks about you everyday." Beth gleamed, smiling about Leshawna and Harold's relationship.
"She's my queen. GOSH! I can't wait to see her, I can hardly wait." Harold said, giddy with excitement.
"Promise me you won't be like Geoff and Bridgette last season and make out with her the whole time, eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"Fine." Harold said annoyed, at Ezekiel's demands.
"Heh, it's funny you guys bicker like 2 brothers." Beth said laughing, as Harold and Ezekiel glared at each other, before a slight smile was shown on both of their faces.
Hotel Room
Beth set her stuff down in her room and waved hi to Geoff and Brody with the camera panning out to them. "Is there any way we can do this faster, dude?" Brody asked.
"Maybe, but we also need to talk a little game, as Bridge wants my head in the game." Geoff said.
"Dude, I just want to keep having fun. But what do you think dude?" Brody asked.
"Well, if we do manage to get rid of Millie or Damien," Geoff began suggesting.
"Preferably Damien dude. You know he and I don't mesh well at all." Brody explained as he kept scrubbing.
"Regardless, I was thinking of roping in Tyler and Lindsay with us afterwards. Help fix their relationship, make them feel happy like we are at a party and we need to pick them up." Geoff further explained as the camera panned back to Beth inside.
"Those guys are busy, so I'll just leave them be." Beth told herself as she decided to get ready for her restaurant date with herself.
The camera panned back outside to the window washers, as the sound of squeegee was heard as Cody and Mickey were back to the top of the building, with Cody covering Mickey's ears "This is all my fault, I am going to die today. I deserve it!" Mickey said as he was clearly losing it mentally.
"Mickey, please buddy please calm down. I am here for you, Mickey. I am not gonna leave you." Cody said, doing his best to comfort Mickey and to calm him down, but now it wasn't working.
Hotel Restaurant
Beth had made her way to the restaurant by now, as she was sitting in her chair with a menu, "Yes Tyler, I would like a basic cheeseburger." Beth asked.
"Right away, Damien, go get the order!" Tyler yelled out.
Damien took the order, and ran back to the question just as quickly, while being very precise, as Beth's eyebrows raised "Why is he getting the order?"
"Damien says I am too clumsy. Oh, but while it is just the two of us can we talk?" Tyler said as he sat opposite of Beth.
"I, uh guess so. What do you want to talk about?" Beth asked, in a nervous tone.
"Well first of all I want to apologize for voting you out back in New York. Also I wanna talk about Lindsay." Tyler proposed.
"She's still angry with you by the way. Look, Lindsay just wants you to be honest, and to shed this whole confident act and want to be famous. I know her, she likes honest, good people. You chasing popularity shattered that perception of you." Beth explained. "You have to prove her wrong."
Damien had made it back to the table by now, "This is what the chef Bridgette provided." Damien said.
"Oh Bridgette cooked it? She's vegetarian though." Beth said as she soon took a bite. "Holy crap this is so good."
Confessional- Bridgette
"Look, I refuse to eat meat. But I can cook, and in between Season 2 and 3, I took some online cooking classes, so even though I don't eat meat. I can cook it. That being said, heh, I wish it wasn't meat I had to cook."
Voting Booth
"Lindsay and Millie get a 10, since Lindsay is my best friend. Harold and Ezekiel get a 9, Brody and Geoff get a 6, Tyler and Damien get a 5 since Damien didn't even talk to me. Bridgette gets a 10. Ooh any final words? Just that I wish Lindsay well and I do hope she and Tyler get back together." Beth said.
Hotel Lobby
The next person to the lobby was Dave, he showed up with gloves on his hands and had a mask on as well, "Please no germs. Please no germs." Dave told himself as he approached the front desk.
Jen and Bowie had noticed the gloves, with Jen in particular being interested, "Why are you wearing gloves and a mask?" Jen asked.
"Protecting myself from all the germs." Dave calmly explained.
"Oh, that makes sense, Izzy did try to drool over the table as she left about an hour ago." Bowie said.
"Of course she did, look, can I just get my hotel room for the challenge." Dave said as Bowie handed the key.
However Bowie instantly remembered what he needed to ask Dave, "Look Dave, do you have any idea how to get rid of Julia? She is a poisonous little viper who needs to leave this team."
Dave looked at Bowie, dead in the eyes, and saw how genuine Bowie was being and decided in that moment to help Bowie as much as he could, "I am going to put a good word with Sky and tell her that Julia sent me home. That should help you a lot, at least I think?"
"Thank you, anything to get rid of her, is so welcomed." Bowie said in a rare gracious tone.
"Oh Dave, one last thing before you go." Jen said as Dave turned to her. "I wanna say your sweater vest is really fashionable for your body type." Jen complimented.
Dave was completely caught off guard, and blushed at Jen's compliment before awkwardly speaking "Thank you."
Hotel Room
Dave set his stuff down in his room, as he talked to himself "If I have to hear about how Duncan screws everyone over or how Trent is a sissy boy, I will personally be on pain medicine for the rest of my life." Dave said, annoyed about how Trent and Duncan spent the whole time bickering while carrying his stuff. Dave then noticed the window and saw Owen and Noah. "Well at least my allies are together."
Dave waved to Owen and Noah as he noticed a little opening for one of the windows and opened it, "Dave! It's so great to see you buddy." Owen cheered.
"Yeah, yeah, it's great, why aren't you guys going faster?" Dave asked.
"Anytime someone uses the squeegee, Mickey on Team Amazon has a freak out." Owen said, looking down sadly, feeling bad for Mickey.
"If you guys want to win the challenge, you guys still need to wash the windows though?" Dave asked.
"Anything else?" Noah asked.
"I talked to Bowie, and apparently he has it out for Julia, maybe you guys can get rid of her?" Dave suggested.
Owen instantly beamed at the idea, "Yeah Julia can't be trusted and I know Jo would want her out, or we can still default to get rid of Alejandro."
"Yeah we can." Noah said half haphazardly as he started scrubbing the windows again, as Mickey was heard screaming off screen again.
"Let's not do that. I have an idea, but I may wanna do this new idea once Eva is done." Owen suggested, as both Noah and Dave looked at him confused, by Owen's suggestion.
Hotel Restaurant
Dave had made his way to the restaurant by this point "I just want some water. No food, I am not that hungry." Dave suggested as Julia walked away, leaving Dave alone with Sky.
Julia approached Alejandro "The little twerp just wants water." Julia said as she rolled her eyes. "What a baby. Wait, what is that?" Julia asked as Alejandro showed a red burrito."
"That dumb twink, needs some food and for me more payback for him trying to eliminate me in Morocco. Give it to his scrawny ass." Alejandro said, clearly holding resentment for Dave.
"Fine, but I don't think twink means what you think here." Julia said as she grabbed the burrito.
Meanwhile Dave and Sky were talking at one of the tables face to face, "It's so great to see you again." Sky beamed.
"Yeah. yeah it's great. Look, we don't have much time to talk." Dave said in a hushed and discreet tone, looking around nervously.
"Sure, what's up." Sky responded back.
"Julia is not to be trusted, she was the one that sent me home back in Morocco, not Jo. Trust me, Brick can vouch for this." Dave said, still trying to sound quiet, unfortunately at that moment, Julia arrived.
"Oh hey guys. Alejandro insisted on giving Dave some amount of food, and as a matter of fact. Here you go buddy." Julia said as she picked up the burrito and shoved it into Dave's mouth.
"Dave!" Sky cried out.
"How is it?" Julia sarcastically asked, as Dave was shown screaming and crying to the bathroom to cool his mouth down, or to throw up the burrito. "Awe, poor boy can't handle his spices. How tragic." Julia sarcastically said.
Confessional- Julia
"Damn it. I don't think I forced the burrito down Dave's throat fast enough before he outed me to Sky that I sent his sorry ass home. I have to do damage control with Sky, as this can't be good."
Confessional- Sky
"What the hell was that?" Sky asked. "The trust between Julia and I is dying out. But Dave telling me that has made me reconsider everything. I need to get confirmation from Brick of this challenge, more importantly I need to talk with Noah and see where he feels about this."
Voting Booth
"I can't feel my face, Jen and Bowie? They ge guess. Duncan and Trent get a 3, Owen and Noah get a 5 because they were my allies. Sky and freaking Julia get a 4 and that is only due to Sky. Alejandro gets a zero though. Screw that guy." Dave proudly said. "Any final words for your team? I wish Owen and Noah good luck, and I wish Noah good luck with Sky, and may karma bite Julia and Alejandro in the ass."
Hotel Lobby
The next person to enter was the 7th person eliminated in DJ. He was carrying a duffle bag, while also having a huge smile on his face. "This place is amazing!" DJ said in awe and astonishment. "Why couldn't we have a season here?"
"Hi DJ" Lindsay said as she hugged him. "I miss you so much. Really sad you and Millie were the bottom 2 that day." Lindsay quickly stated, remembering the first Paris elimination, and how awful she felt for voting DJ out.
"You don't hold it against some of us that we voted you out?" Millie asked, nervously.
"No, of course not. I don't want to hold grudges." DJ explained, as he hugged Lindsay and Millie at the same time.
"Oh that's great. Also how is Shawn doing? Have you talked to him since he left Jamaica?" Millie asked, as her nerves were starting to settle down.
"He's doing great, he was so thrilled when Jasmine returned last night to the place where the eliminated people normally are, and now both of them are a couple." DJ explained.
"Oh my gosh, that is so cute." Lindsay said. "Looks like your room is 119." Lindsay noticed, as she handed DJ the keys.
Hotel Hallway
"Oh, sick dudes, you got a cart to pull for the challenge, awesome!" DJ cheered, as Harold and Ezekiel noticed and appreciated having DJ with them, as both of them liked DJ so much on a personal level.
"I told you getting the cart was a great idea." Harold, said in a snarky tone.
"Okay fine eh. You are right, I was wrong eh. Anything else?" Ezekiel asked, as he rolled his eyes.
"Nope, just happy to be right. Gosh!" Harold said back in annoyance. DJ then set his stuff on the cart, however as soon as Harold pushed it he struggled, "Oh man this bag is heavier than Beth's. Zeke help me out!" Harold called out as Ezekiel pushed as well.
"Oops sorry, is my bag heavy?" DJ asked.
"Not heavy, but certainly not light eh. Did you take some of Eva's workout gear eh?" Ezekiel asked as DJ shook his head no as the camera flashed forward to later on.
Hotel Room
"Man, this place is even better than the loser resort!" DJ said as he set his stuff down in his room and saw it was Geoff and Brody, but both were going slow in terms of cleaning and opened one of the spare windows. "Yo Geoff. The window isn't clean, not that I am complaining, but what's taking so long?"
"Mickey on Team Amazon keeps panicking and freaking out dude whenever anyone uses one of these squeegee things, so Geoff and I decided not to use it." Brody explained.
"I can't argue with not wanting to hurt someone." DJ said. "But maybe come up with an alternative plan." DJ said, as he saw a T-shirt that looked like Owen's fall on Geoff.
Geoff picked the shirt off of his face and looked at it, "Is that Owen's shirt, what does he have planned?" Geoff wondered, while being grossed out that he had Owen's shirt now.
Hotel Restaurant
DJ showed up to the restaurant as he sat in his seat, and noticed. "What… what would you like, DJ?" Damien asked nervously.
"Just a regular salad." DJ said as he handed the menu to Damien before noticing how nervous Damien was. "What's wrong dude?"
"I mean…. I was just the one who did vote you out, all those weeks ago? I am shocked you aren't furious with me," Damien said, as his shoulders dropped and he sounded confused.
"Heh, you must know nothing about me. I am not a bitter person at all, and it was all just a game. Yes, I would have loved to win so I could get my momma a replacement bus after her previous one got destroyed right before the season. But I didn't." DJ explained.
"Oh, that's sweet." Damien said, still sounding shameful.
"Damien, you're a smart guy I can tell. But a word of advice, you are never going to get far in this game, if you don't actually get to know people and how they will react to what you say and do." DJ said, before looking around, "Hey where's Tyler?"
"Oh no! I left him for the order!" Damien yelled out, before Damien could do something a salad came falling right in DJ's face, making a mess everywhere with food all over the ground.
"Oh gosh! I am so sorry DJ!" Tyler said as he ran up to the scene.
"It's fine, I will just head on out. Damien, please take my advice." DJ said as he walked away.
"What advice?" Tyler asked, confused about what Damien and DJ could have discussed.
"It's, it's nothing. I will do the last two orders all by myself. You just relax okay." Damien told Tyler, yet Tyler internally was annoyed at Damien's rather coy response.
Confessional- Damien
"DJ is right, I need to get to know people. I also need to make sure I keep an eye on Tyler no matter what. Also get to really know the dude. Maybe we can hit it off."
Voting Booth
DJ looked at the camera with a sheepish grin, "Sorry guys no suspense, everyone is getting an 8 from me. I wanna be fair and help my former team a lot." DJ said, as he saw the next part of the question, "Any final words for your team to see? I wish them all nothing but the best."
Outside The Hotel
Blaineley and Chef were shown in a tent outside the hotel, with a desk, and a bunch of cameras. "Gosh! That segment was so boring! Who's next?" Blaineley asked.
"Chase." Chef said. "He knows he is not allowed to film any stunts or anything in this hotel?" Chef asked.
"I would like to think he is smart enough not to do it, but what if he does?" Blaineley jokingly asked.
"Then we end up in the hot seat with the government of this country, and the producers." Chef flatly said.
Hotel Lobby
The 8th person to show up was Chase, he still had his trademark red sweatshirt, and was now having a camera in his hands, "Yo, yo it's your boy Chase at the Burj Al Arab. I brought my stuff, and I will pull a wicked stunt here in the hotel lobby."
"Like hell you are." Courtney protested immediately. "No way, you are not damaging this hotel."
"Oh hi Courtney." Chase flatly said. "Don't worry yourself. I am a professional."
"No you are not doing anything. This place is way too prestigious for you to damage." Courtney argued back at Chase.
"I don't even know what that word means. So I won't listen to it." Chase said in annoyance.
"Shocker. Look here's your key, don't do anything stupid." Courtney said aggressively, handling his key.
"You know I am shocked that you always talked about wanting to go to law school, since at least for me, you are not qualified at all due to how emotional you and people like you tend to be." Chase boldly claimed.
Courtney was in a state of shock as Scott spoke up, "What do you mean people like her?"
"Women in general tend to be emotional, Emma went on and on crying and yelling about how badly I treated her when she was eliminated and.. Why is Courtney breathing out her nose?" Chase said, before noticing the glare Courtney was giving.
"I would get out of here now, Chase if I were you." Scott said, and Chase didn't need to be told twice, as he packed up his camera, grabbed his duffle bag and booked it to his hotel room which was 202. Scott turned back over to Courtney, and asked her "Are you doing better now?"
"Yes. Now that the sexist prick with a crummy clip tube channel is not being a dick. I can calm down. He is lucky that I did not lunge across the table to strangle his ass." Courtney angrily said.
Bowie, who watched the whole ordeal, whispered to Jen "She has every right to be pissed off. I kind of like it though."
Hotel Hallway
Gwen and Kitty were carrying Chase's luggage, but both were getting increasingly more annoyed by the influencer and in their eyes, his delusional arrogance, "That teammate, well you know, former teammate for me. Courtney is so emotional and pushy. I swear, she is just like Emma was at her worst. Chase don't do a stunt that could kill you, Chase hear me out more, please. Chase, maybe our channel should also have dance videos. Yeah right, I always know best."
As Kitty and Gwen made their way closer to Chase's room, an idea popped in Kitty's head as she whispered something inaudibly into Gwen's ear. Gwen then spoke up with a smirk. "Hey Chase, you do crazy stunts, and like good film locations, right?" Gwen asked.
"You know it. What's the suggestion?" Chase asked.
"The bathrooms are great to film here, for like a proper intro." Gwen explained.
"Totally, this place is rich, and fancy. I will head to the bathrooms, can you both watch my stuff?" Chase asked back as both of them nodded. Chase then immediately took off for the bathroom and left Kitty and Gwen alone.
"Gosh, I thought he would never shut up. Could you imagine if Cody ended up like him?" Kitty said, remembering her boyfriend. "Gosh I hope he's okay."
"I am sure he is, now where can we hide Chase's shit." Gwen asked herself. "He is so annoying. There has to be a janitor closet nearby somewhere." Gwen said, scanning the halls. "Oh right there. Come on, that prick deserves it."
"Dude is a total jerk. I still feel bad for Emma, she dated someone like that." Kitty said, still thinking of her current boyfriend Cody and in her mind how awesome he is, while still having a weird feeling that something was awry.
Duncan and Trent walked up to the two girls throwing Chase's stuff into a janitor closet, with Trent not being enthused about it, while Duncan had a smirk on his face, "What's shaking pasty?" Duncan asked.
"Just throwing Chase's shit into this closet here. Challenge be damned." Gwen explained.
"Let me guess no one on the team liked him?" Trent asked.
"I would rather be with Heather during the trust challenge in Season 1 when she exposed my underwear on international TV. Then spend another day with his ass." Gwen explained.
"Wait Heather did what?" Kitty asked in astonishment, as Gwen began explaining and the show went on to later that night with Chase.
Hotel Room/Window Washing
Chase had finally made it to his hotel room with only his key, and now the dude was soaking wet as he had fallen in the toilet, trying to prep an intro for his channel. With no bags, Chase was pissed, "Stupid ex teammates of mine. Act all emotional, throw my bags away somewhere else in this hotel, and now I am left with nothing. I am treated so unfairly." Chase then looked outside and saw the window was untouched. "Where the hell are Cody and Mickey anyway?" Chase asked.
The camera zoomed out, and back to Mickey and Cody, with Mickey still shaking and nervous beyond belief, "The team is going to hate me, I can't do this. I can't do this!" Mickey once again told himself.
"Mickey, please calm down. It's going to be okay, I will take the fall for us if we do lose today." Cody said as he kept trying to calm Mickey down to no avail.
Mickey however stood up, freaked out, eyes wide open and looked over the ledge, "Maybe.. Maybe I could.." Mickey began to say as he looked over the ledge some more, "It's… it's what I wanted to do in high school." Mickey said.
Cody, quickly picking up on what Mickey was implying however, lunged for Mickey and tackled him to the ground, before he did anything rash in his mine. "Mickey, stay with me, just hold my hand. Hold my hand!" Cody yelled out.
"What, what are you doing?" Mickey asked scared out of his mind as he was pinned to the ground underneath Cody.
"Preventing you from doing something, that you would regret, and that I could never live with myself. Now take my hand and please just try to breathe steadily." Cody asked as Mickey looked at Cody's hands and nervously held onto them, "Breathe, just please breathe."
Hotel Restaurant
Chase had finally made his way to the restaurant after cleaning himself up, so far this trip had sucked for him, and he wished he could have ended up on Team Style or Victory looking back. As Chase sat there, Anne Maria and Zoey approached him, with Anne Maria speaking up, "What would you like to order?"
"A steak. A man's dish so to speak." Chase confidently said.
As Zoey went to inform Topher about the order, Anne Maria decided to stay behind and talk with Chase. "You know I do love a guy who likes his steak." Anne Maria informed Chase in a flirty tone.
"Thanks, but aren't you with Topher?" Chase asked, confused.
"Yeah, but I am just harmlessly flirting with you. Besides, Topher back there needs to show more assertiveness, and stop being a wuss. I swear if he wasn't so drop dead gorgeous I would never go out with him." Anne Maria said, complaining about her current boyfriend.
Said boyfriend, Topher, was busy cooking a steak and was talking to himself, "Chase probably would want a well done steak, and there we go!" Topher said as the show flashed quickly to about 20 minutes later, as Zoey watched in awe. "Order up!"
"Coming! Thanks Topher. You know, I don't think anyone here has you pegged as a good cook." Zoey said, admiring Topher.
"Well back home, my mom and I are close and I took cooking classes. You know I am more than a pretty face." Topher said, as he struck a pose in his cooking outfit.
Zoey, flustered by Topher's actions, immediately left and headed over to the table, where she saw Anne Maria and Chase talking. "What's going on?" Zoey asked herself.
Zoey handed the steak over, as Anne Maria stood up, "We'll keep in touch Chase, I would love to be a model for your stunts." Anne Maria said. "What do you want red?"
Zoey grabbed Anne Maria aside, "What were you and Chase talking about?"
"Nothing important toots. Back off." Anne Maria defensively said, as she walked away as Zoey glared at the jersey girl from behind.
Confessional- Zoey
"What could Anne Maria have told Chase? I am still nervous about that chick, I do not trust her at all!"
Voting Booth
"Well let's see here, my former teammates sucked, Courtney and Scott got a zero, Gwen and Kitty a zero, Cody and Mickey got a 1 out of 10 since they weren't rude to me today. Anne Maria and Zoey get a 7, and Topher gets a 9 for an excellent steak. Topher, Anne Maria you guys are cool, the rest of the team kiss my ass." Chase said defiantly, before slipping on the ground and falling onto his butt. "Ow that smarts."
Hotel Lobby
Back in the lobby, the challenge that had started at midnight, was now at 4am. Jen was on her third fashion magazine in terms of reading, "I could read these magazines forever."
The next person that showed up was Eva, she set her bag to the ground, as she glared at Jen and Bowie, as she demanded, "I want the keys to my hotel room, now!" Eva demanded.
"Geeze, I can see that the anger management classes never worked." Bowie said, rolling his eyes.
"What did you say, Bowie?" Eva asked as she slammed her fist onto the table.
"Nothing, here's your key." Bowie said, scared as he quickly handed the key. "This is for Room 115."
"Thanks." Eva sternly said, picking up her bag.
Jen however wanted to lighten the mood up, "Oh before you go I wanna say that your athletic gear is amazing. Maybe you could show me your workout routine. It works really well for you."
"Oh, uh thanks Jen." Eva awkwardly stated, lost, that Jen was being nice to her. "I will definitely keep that in mind." Eva then went away with her bags, while Bowie was left dumbfounded.
"Wow, how did you get roid rage to be cool with you that quickly?" Bowie asked.
"The gift of gab I guess. I don't know." Jen shrugged, unsure of why she was not intimidated by Eva.
Hotel Hallway
Eva had made her way to the bellhops Duncan and Trent, both of which were still angry with each other. "Just so you both know, there is absolutely no love loss since both of you voted me out." Eva stated as she dropped her bags on Duncan and Trent's shoulders, and while Duncan was able to hold Eva's bag. Trent was caught completely off guard, and fell right to the ground.
"Ow! Did you pack extra dumbbells?" Trent asked, with the bag on top of him.
"Ha, that is so funny you couldn't even hold her bags." Duncan said, taunting Trent.
"Oh piss off, Duncan!" Trent said off screen.
"What's gotten into the guitar boy down here? I don't care that much, but isn't he more level headed than this?" Eva asked.
"He usually is. But he has a lot of hate for me, when he is over Gwen, so I don't get the anger, he has for me." Duncan explained.
Confessional- Trent
"Wanna know why I hate Duncan? The dude and I have nothing in common. He betrayed the alliance to get rid of Justin, and because of that I feel like I am the next boot. Because Duncan would for sure vote me off in a heartbeat."
Hotel Room/ Squeegees
Eva had made her way to her hotel room, glad to be away from the awkward tension from Duncan and Trent, however she saw Noah and Owen outside. She wasn't happy to see Owen, but decided maybe she should take the high road. But Owen's appearance is what threw Eva off, as Owen was only in his underwear. Eva opened the window, to talk to them "What the hell are you two doing?" Eva asked.
"We're going to use Owen as the squeegee." Noah explained.
"Use Owen, as the wait what?" Eva asked in confusion. "Why?"
"One of the people with the squeegees can't stand the sound of squeegees at all." Noah explained.
"Is Owen at least going to look decent?" Eva asked. Noah and Owen however stayed silent, "Duly noted. I'll give you guys a good score in hopes this works. Also to make it up to Owen since, well I destroyed the alliance."
"Aw thanks Eva." Owen said happily.
"This doesn't mean we are friends. I'm just doing this so there's no more hard feelings with each other." Eva explained, as she soon walked away to the restaurant.
"Look, do you know who you want to get rid of if we do lose." Owen asked. "I still want Alejandro out even after what Dave said."
"I'm fine with him leaving, Julia can go if what he said was true. But we need to make sure we are on the same page." Noah stated, feeling very unsure of his position in the game.
Voting Booth
In the voting booth, Eva showed up, "Well this has been fun. Bowie and Jen get a 5 from me since Jen seems kind of cool. Trent and Duncan get a 6. Owen and Noah get a 9, but this is only because I am hoping their plan works, Sky and Julia get a 5 and Alejandro gets a 3 because he is a dick."
Hotel Lobby
The next person up is Cameron, where he only had a very small bag of basic items with him. Lindsay instantly greeted him "Hi Carmen." Lindsay greeted.
"My name is Cameron." Cameron said, "Lindsay, can you look up my room number, I need to talk to Millie?"
"What do you want to talk about?" Millie asked, unsure of what Cameron was alluding to.
"IIt's about your journal. I know that your journal has a deeper meaning, I don't know what it's about. But after our conversation in Iceland I'm just hoping you don't talk bad about others in your journal." Cameron explained.
Millie had a look of pure guilt, she knew her journal was going to be a point of contention, but she also knew that writing about her generation was her life calling. Above all else though, she knew she needed to tell Cameron what he wanted to hear "I promise this journal isn't malicious. I would never hurt anyone here emotionally." Millie claimed.
Lindsay, who was not listening to Millie and Cameron's conversation did speak up "Carl, your room is 708." Lindsay spoke up.
"Thanks, Lindsay. Millie, just please take my advice." Cameron said, trying to reassure Milie as he left.
"What were you guys talking about?" Lindsay asked.
"Nothing important, just random stuff in general." Millie said, as she didn't want Lindsay to lose trust in her.
Hotel Hallway
Cameron noticed the bellhops were Ezekiel and Harold, and he instantly felt a sense of relief and ran up to Ezekiel to hug him, "Hey Zeke, I've missed you buddy." Cameron said in the hug.
"Me too eh. Me too." Ezekiel said.
Harold awkwardly walked up, "Am I intruding on something here?"
"Not really, as if you wouldn't be all over Leshawna in about 20 minutes." Cameron stated with a sly grin.
"Wait, I get to see Leshawna in 20 minutes, oh hell yeah!" Harold gushed.
"Oh Ezekiel, why haven't you pressed Millie about her notebook?" Cameron asked, as he was now walking with Ezekiel and Harold.
"Journal?" Harold asked. This was the first time he had heard about any sort of journal.
"Yeah. A journal eh. Look Cameron, I just didn't want to expose Millie's notebook, journal or whatever eh. I don't want to be the bad guy." Ezekiel explained.
"I'll be the bad guy." Harold proudly claimed as Ezekiel looked at him with worry plastered all over his face. "I can read it since Millie and I have no affiliation with each other. Besides, it's probably harmless." Harold explained. "She's probably just crushing on some other guy here."
"All of that, eh, is not the point. Moron. I'm not stealing someone's stuff and I don't think you should either." Ezekiel explained his concerns.
"It's not that big of a deal Zeke. Besides I can read it while someone watches guard, return it to where Millie hadn't, and nothing more. It would be just like a spy movie." Harold explained, as he was growing more excited by potentially showing a sneakier side to him.
Hotel Room/ Squeegees
Cameron had now entered his hotel room and saw Geoff and Brody, however both of them were in their underwear, which confused Cameron. "What are you two even doing?" Cameron asked.
"We uh we dropped our squeegee, and we kind of decided we're going to use each other as the squeegee." Brody explained.
"That and Owen suggested it, when we saw what he and Noah were doing and they said it will calm Mickey down who hates the sound of squeegees dude." Geoff further explained.
"Are you guys going to at least be decent and keep at least the underwear on?" Cameron asked.
Neither Geoff nor Brody however answered that, which told Cameron what the answer was, as Geoff spoke up as he saw Cameron begin to leave the hotel room, "Oh and Cameron, I am sorry for injuring you back in Brazil."
"It's fine, Geoff. I am healed, but I am gonna head out, just so I don't have to see what you guys are going to do." Cameron awkwardly said as he shut the door, "My appetite is gone, so I will just head straight to the voting booth."
Voting Booth
"Since I didn't go to the restaurant, I can only vote for what I did. So I guess I will make it up to my team and just give each of the service desk, bellhop, and window washers a 9 out of 10 to make it up for the team." Cameron said giving his team 27 out of 50, as he saw something at the bottom, "Any final words for your team? I would just say good luck to all of them. Hopefully Millie isn't the evil type, and I look forward to seeing how all of them do."
Hotel Lobby
The 11th guest who came was Leshawna, with Lindsay in particular being excited, "Oh my gosh, Leshawna it is so amazing to see you."
"You too girl."
"Wait, you're able to remember Leshawna's name just fine. But you constantly struggle with mine?" Millie asked, in a mix of confusion and annoyance.
"Well Leshawna is a distinct name to remember, and she and I have been together for 3 seasons now. Sorry." Lindsay meekly said.
"It's okay. Oh and Leshawna your room is Room 217." Millie said as she handed her keys. "Oh, Lindsay, you wanted to talk to Leshawna, right?"
"Oh right. Leshawna, you and Tyler spent a lot of time together in between seasons, right?" Lindsay asked.
"Yep, what about that clumsy buffoon?" Leshawna asked.
"Well did he talk about me more, or the whole popularity thing?" Lindsay asked.
"That's complicated honey, at first when Tyler and I were together he talked about you so much. All about how much he loved and missed you, but then something changed." Leshawna explained.
"What changed?" Millie and Lindsay asked at the same time.
"Well we were on the "So you think you could eat that? Let's just say we bombed it. It was around that time, all these anti Tyler blogs and social media posts came, about how I had a shitty partner, how Lindsay deserved better. Tyler was a bigger loser for not doing great on these shows. It got kind of ugly." Leshawna said, shuddering at the past.
"Oh gosh. How did Tyler respond to that stuff?" Millie asked in concern.
"He just kind of shut down, when the cameras were on for the shows we did. He would just fake it for the cameras. But he was hurting. I wanted him to tell me but he never did."
"Wasn't most of the anti Tyler stuff online due to Sierra?" Millie asked.
"It was babe, but it was just some of them. Sierra confirmed when she was eliminated at the loser lounge she only wrote half of them. She doesn't know who did it though." Leshawna said, as she put her head down. "May I have my key?" Leshawna asked and walked away with her stuff, just waiting to see Harold, and wanting to focus on something happier..
"How are you feeling Lindsay?" Millie asked.
"I don't know." Lindsay said, as she attempted to play with her hair to distract her mind.
Hotel Hallway
Leshawna had made her way to the hallways, as her heart fluttered seeing her boyfriend Harold, as both immediately embraced and started kissing passionately. Ezekiel awkwardly walked up to the couple, "Am I intruding on something here, and leave you two alone. Eh".
"Nonsense, besides Harold, I was thinking we could spend some alone time together in our hotel room." Leshawna flirted with Harold.
"Oh, I like the sound of that." Harold said, unable to contain his excitement.
"Here's the key, Harold baby. I need to talk with Ezekiel one on one. I'll be in the room in a few minutes." Leshawna said as she handed the key to Harold who was more than happy to get away from the challenge.
"Why did you have Harold leave eh." Ezekiel asked, confused about what was going on.
"Look homeschool, wanna make it up to Harold?" Leshawna asked as Ezekiel nodded. "Well I wanna spend some alone time with Harold, so I want you to take my place for this challenge."
"Is that cheating?"
"It might be, but I know Harold will appreciate it, and I will make sure he comes to his senses." Leshawna said, as she went inside her hotel room, leaving Ezekiel to finish the challenge.
Hotel Room
Leshawna opened the door to her hotel room, and while she was happy to see Harold, she also saw Geoff and Brody, and was stunned at what she saw as Harold was talking to them, "Why are Geoff and Brody naked? What the hell?" Leshawna asked, confused.
"We lost our bucket so we are going to both be the squeegees and use every ounce of our bodies, dudes." Brody excitedly said.
"That's great, I will let you uh, I will be out of your hair." Leshawna said awkwardly as Geoff and Brody lowered the platform to a lower level as Leshawna laid down on the hotel bed. "Oh this bed is amazing. Even better than the loser resort, even if it is only for a few days."
Harold instinctively jumped on the bed to the other end, and was mesmerized by Leshawna, "I love this day now so much!"
"Sweetie, do you love it due to being reunited with me, or also being with Zeke." Leshawna asked.
"Mostly you, but I actually think I am doing a great job with Ezekiel. With the way the team is set up, he and I are in the middle so I am most loyal to him." Harold said.
"That's great, baby. But are you actually trying to be his friend, or is it just for the game?" Leshawna asked as the two of them
"That's what I'm debating. There's part of me that wants to become his friend. But I just don't know how he feels, and after voting him out in Jamaica, we don't try to talk about any game at all." Harold explained. "Look, I will try to make things better with Ezekiel. But can we just make out already?" Harold asked as Leshawna happily obliged.
Geoff and Brody who were working on the window right below Harold and Leshawna could hear the make out session, and both instantly felt uncomfortable, "Bro, that's our cue to leave." Geoff said.
"Totally." Brody said as he and Geoff pulled the levers at the same time, to go down to the hotel lower floors. "Wahoo!" Brody cheered out.
Unfortunately all the noise that Geoff and Brody were causing, made Mickey feel noxious, "That noise! Aagh!" Mickey screamed off screen, as the viewers watching this episode could also hear the platform begin shaking as well.
Hotel Restaurant
Ezekiel showed up to the restaurant as Damien and Tyler looked confused, "What are you doing here?" Damien asked.
"Leshawna told me to fill in for her in this part of the challenge as she and Harold wanted some alone time, eh." Ezekiel explained.
"Ooh I get what you are getting at, Zeke. Man Harold is one lucky dog." Tyler said with a chuckle.
"I don't get it." Damien flatly said.
"It doesn't matter, just get me a soup eh, I want this challenge to be over with." Ezekiel explained as Damien left to take the order over to Bridgette.
Tyler and Ezekiel decided to talk with each other, while they waited for the order. "Man Harold is lucky that he has a girlfriend and no relationship problems."
"Weren't you a big part of why you and Lindsay aren't doing well eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"I know it's my fault, I just don't find it fair, how this whole game has gone for me. Honestly, I should have never aligned with Damien at this point. I'm worried he is ruining this whole thing for me." Tyler stated. Shortly afterwards Damien brought the soup over, while Ezekiel noticed there was a lot of tension between Tyler and Damien.
Voting Booth
Leshawna had made her way to the voting booth, and was informed of how Tyler, Damien and Bridgette did, as Ezekiel was forbidden from entering the voting booth. "Millie and Lindsay get a 6, Harold and Ezekiel get a 10, Harold deserves that. Geoff and Brody get a 7 since the window was clean. Tyler, Damien, and Bridgette get 15 out of 20." Leshawna stated.
With Leshawna this left the score at 176 for Team Victory for their final score, Team Style had 114 points and since they only had Brick left, Team Victory was lock safe, while Team Amazon had 44 points, with 3 people left to go in Emma, Sierra, and Ella.
Hotel Lobby
Brick was the 12th person to enter the lobby and the final one for Team Style to show up and was in a really chipper mood. "He seems happy, so happy." Bowie observed.
"Hello Bowie, Miss Jen." Brick said in a polite tone as he bowed. "It's great to be reunited together."
"Why are you acting so nice? Jen and I both voted you out." Bowie asked, confused.
"If you hold grudges in this game, you will never win, and I don't hold them regardless." Brick explained.
"Awe, that is so inspiring." Jen said in awe. "Your room is 207. Also I wanted to tell you Brick I love your suit today." Jen explained, as Brick was wearing a camouflage suit, with a blue tie and black dress pants, as he decided to dress up for the occasion.
"Thanks Jen. Can you guys make sure to tell Jo that I miss her if I don't see her." Brick explained.
"I really hope all the compliments you gave to our former teammates, helps us win." Bowie said.
"Oh, I just did that because that's how I felt about them." Jen said, as Bowie was truly stunned Jen was being genuine.
Squeegees
"Are you sure you want to do this?" Noah asked, as he was standing by a lever to send him and Owen down the hotel.
"You only live once, 3, 2, 1, hit it!" Owen said as he was pressed against the window and hit his lever at the same time as Noah as both went free falling to the bottom while Owen as a squeegee was cleaning window after window. Brick came into his hotel room and only heard the dismount but saw his window was cleaned and was satisfied.
However between both Team Victory and Style, doing similar quick loud squeegee sounds, this left Mickey in an absolute panic, as he started shaking and made him and Cody's platform. "I am going to die!" Mickey yelled in fear. Before Cody could react however, Mickey bumped one of the levers making the platform slant to a 90 degree angle while Mickey was able to lock his body in on the high railing. Cody didn't have the same luck, and tumbled to the edge and was now dangling on the platform with him and was left 40 stories up in the air, dangling for his life.
"Uh, Mickey, Mickey!" Cody screamed out, scared he was near death. But he didn't have any luck right away as Mickey was still paralyzed with fear.
Control Room
By this point in the challenge, it was around 5:30 am, and the sun was soon going to rise, however the situation with Cody and Mickey had made Blaineley spit out her coffee, "Fascinating!" was all she could say as her phone rang."Yes Mr. Strauss. Right away." Blaineley said as she turned to Chef, "Get the giant pillow mattress we carry on for emergencies." Blaineley demanded.
"What about Sierra, Ella, and Emma's visits to the hotel?" Chef asked.
"We'll just montage them. Besides, Cody is in a life or death scenario, so Sierra's trip won't be relevant, and Katie along with Heather are at the spa, so does it really matter with Emma or Ella since they were only relevant with those two?" Blaineley asked. "Look, we'll tell the editors to montage those 3. We just need to make sure Cody is safe and see where things go with Cody and Mickey. Besides those two and their story has been bringing in the ratings for the TV show." Blaineley said, as Chef looked like he understood but he wasn't happy about the situation at all, especially since Cody was someone he could tolerate of the contestants.
End Of Challenge Montage
The montage started with Sierra, as she walked up to the desk and all that could be heard was Sierra saying, "Courtney you are an uptight shrew." Sierra said.
Courtney was shown leaping across the service desk, tackling Sierra "You bitch!" Courtney yelled out as Soctt watched in concern, as security was shown arriving on scene.
Sierra's montage continued with Gwen and Kitty throwing her stuff in her room, with neither showing much care as both hated Sierra, Gwen hated Sierra for being weird while Kitty hated Sierra due to the whole Cody situation, "Oops." Both said without a care in the world.
"My self made Cody action figure, no!" Sierra cried out, as her montage ended.
Emma's montage had her show up to the service desk with now no Courtney in sight, and then the camera faded to her talking with Gwen and Kitty, "Chase is so awful, if I have to be forever single I will do it if it means I never end up with him. Thanks for hiding his stuff." Emma said as all 3 were laughing.
The montage continued to the restaurant, as Zoey walked up to Emma, "Hey, sorry for voting you out in Newfoundland. I will let Heather know, you came."
"It's okay. Also thank Topher for cooking. He has a future in culinary arts, if this food is any indication." Emma explained, as her montage ended.
Ellla's montage showed her singing in the lobby as Scott covered his ears "I don't need to be hearing this." Scott grumbled.
Ella was shown hugging Gwen, "I am telling you, Gwen. There's no hard feelings. Can you just please protect Katie. She genuinely loves you as a friend." Ella said, as Gwen nodded.
In the restaurant Ella was shown talking with Zoey inaudibly while Anne Maria slammed the plate full of salad in front of her. "Annoying!" Anne Maria huffed in anger as she went outside for her last tanning break with her fake tanner.
Control Room
Blaineley was shown back in the control room, "Okay now let's see how things go with Cody and Mickey. This should be good!"
Outside Hotel Windows
Back outside, it was dawn, but the sun rising was the last thing on Cody's mind as he was dangling off of the platform 40 stories up in the air. "Mickey? Mickey! Mickey?!" Cody continued to shout out.
Mickey, who had been screaming due to the squeegee sounds, and windows being washed, had begun to calm down as both Team Victory and Style were done washing windows, "Cody, Cody, where are you?" Mickey asked.
"I am holding on for dear life!" Cody screamed out. "My grip is slipping!"
"Oh my god." Mickey said as he lunged across the platform for Cody, as Cody's grip slipped. "I've got you dude. I'm never letting go!" Mickey said. In a moment of pure adrenaline, Mickey who had tied his legs to the platform, managed to throw Cody back on and luckily the platform evened out as well. However when Mickey dragged Cody onto the platform, the two fell on top of each other, faces inches apart, and while now, they were both off of each other. The tension in the air was thick.
"Ugh, my hands are so numb right now." Cody complained, looking at how red his hands had gotten. "Today might have been one of the worst nights of my life."
"At least there's a nice sunrise this morning." Mickey said, trying to break as much tension as possible.
"Yeah but we got the worst assignment we could have. Look at this point if we lose I will take the fall for you." Cody said, as he looked away, but his tone was that of someone who was really annoyed.
"No you're not. You're not taking the fall for me. I could tell by your tone there. You're annoyed with me." Mickey accused.
"Excuse me?" Cody asked, in an incredulous tone.
"You just said we got the worst assignment and are blaming me for this whole situation. It's like you don't even want to be my friend anymore." Mickey said.
"It's not like that. Not at all." Cody said, trying to defend himself.
"It's not? Ever since Germany and the Amazon challenge, you and I don't spend any more time together. In Paris, you were stuck with Sierra, in Newfoundland you never asked me, how was it to hang out with Zoey? In Jamaica, you just wanted to spend all your time with Kitty. Heck when we were leaving Romania, you acted weird with me during the musical number!" Mickey accused.
"What are you talking about?" Cody asked, trying to make sense of Mickey's ramblings.
"I get that you and Kitty are dating, and I am, I'm happy for you. But I thought I was still your best friend." Mickey demanded.
"Mickey just stop buddy, I have always cared for you. You and I both know that." Cody said, trying to calm the situation down.
However Mickey ignored what Cody said, "I feel like I am losing my fucking mind!" Mickey said, almost screaming out.
Cody at this point had grabbed onto Mickey's shoulders and brought both of them to sit on the ground, while the sun continued to rise, "It's not like you to swear." Cody tried to say until Mickey all of a sudden flinched.
"Don't fucking touch me!" Mickey yelled out as he backed away from Cody, as if he was a monster now. Mickey took a deep breath before looking all around, "What the hell is wrong with me?" Mickey asked himself. "What did I do to you Cody so you now ignore me?" Mickey asked as he turned his whole body away from Cody.
Cody however, was now just fed up at this point. "What are you going on about right now? You are just freaking out even though we are safely up here. What's going on?"
"I can't do this anymore Cody." Mickey said, as he was still looking away from the person he thought was his best friend. "Sorry I am such a freak to you."
"You aren't a freak, but this panic attack and screaming is making me feel like I am just your babysitter. Especially since I am apparently the only one who can calm you down before any flight, so you're not screaming your head off. If it wasn't for me, you would have been kicked out of this team a long time ago." Cody said, as his anger was now growing too.
"Oh I am so sorry, that I am a burden to you, and so weak." Mickey yelled, still turned away.
"That's not what I said. I am just exhausted from today." Cody said, trying to calm himself down. "I haven't gotten to spend any time with my girlfriend today. Do you know how that feels?" Cody asked. "Wait no you don't because you've never had a girlfriend, yet probably want mine!" Cody yelled, rhetorically.
"Do you really want to know how I feel, about this, about you?" Mickey asked back, as he still looked out at the morning sky
Cody rolled his eyes, "Let me guess, you hate my fucking guts now. Because I never give you attention, and I told you something hurtful." Cody said sarcastically.
"No, this is how I feel." Mickey said, as he turned his whole body around to face Cody, and in one motion he kissed Cody on the lips, catching Cody off guard. Mickey had at that moment changed their friendship and dynamic forever. For Mickey this crush had been harboring since around the time in New York City. Mickey didn't ever want to admit it publicly, but the stress of today's challenge, and the fight he and Cody were having had finally broken him. He couldn't believe he was finally doing something he always wanted too, and in that moment, he was at his happiest, even despite the huge heights that should have kept him freaked out.
Cody was still caught off guard, but for him, he reciprocated the kiss, something he didn't understand why he was. The camera caught the kiss under the backdrop of the bright pink sky in the Dubai morning sky as both were lost in the moment. Cody however after 30 seconds had come to what he thought was his senses and pulled away after what felt like eternity. "I uh, I, you. I uh." Cody stuttered.
"I am sorry. I don't know what came over me." Mickey said, trying to make this situation better, as he felt like Cody was confused, and didn't want to make things worse.
"It's fine. It's fine. Well it isn't. But it can be. No one, and I mean no one, ever finds out about this kiss. Not Kitty, not Zoey, no one. I'm with Kitty, and you're close with Zoey." Cody tried to explain, but inside he felt like he wasn't convincing anyone including himself. "But we can still be friends, right?" Cody suggested
"Right?" Mickey awkwardly stated. "I am just so sorry. Must have been emotions. Where do we go from here?" Mickey asked.
"For now, can we just not talk? I have a lot to think about, and I am with Kitty. Not you. Is there any way at all we can try to be friends? Like we were before this kiss and awkwardness happened." Cody asked, back.
Mickey internally felt devastated, but he decided to please Cody and make him happy. "Yep we can be friends. This never happened. I won't tell anyone, and no one will have any idea since we did it so far up in the sky." Mickey awkwardly said. "Wanna head on down, I am sure we lost." Mickey said as he stood up and went to one of the levers.
"Yep, let's head down. We'll go at your pace." Cody said. Neither of them spoke a word the rest of the way down, as both knew their dynamic had forever changed, and wanting their bond to be a friendship like before was going to be impossible.
Confessional- Mickey
"Yep, I am gay. It's one of my biggest secrets I had coming into this game. Happy viewing world. I have known since I was about 10. But meeting Cody here kind of confirmed it. Not even my twin brother Jay knows about it, and he tells me everything. But I never had the guts to tell anyone. Now I fear the friendship between Cody and I could be done. I also probably look like the biggest idiot on television ever. The thing is, that's not the only secret I am still keeping from Cody."
Confessional- Cody
"This can't be happening. He liked me, as in wanted to kiss me? No Cody, he made an honest mistake. Besides I am straight, and like my parents say most guys are like me when it comes to dating. So Mickey probably is straight and just panicked. Yep that's it. There is no way that kiss meant something. It can't. Besides I will forget about that kiss and Mickey, him and his stupidly cute face." Cody said, unaware of what came out of his mouth at the last moment.
End Of Challenge
It was now the end of the challenge, as it was now 8am in the morning, as everyone was gathered outside the hotel who was still competing. "Congratulations to all 30 of you for the successful service, while the staff was out. Now is the time for the final scores, Team Victory you got 176 points out of a potential 250."
"Aw awesome dudes, we did great, I think." Geoff cheered.
"Team Style you guys got 155 points for your grand total, as Brick gave 41 total points."
"Oh Brick, I miss him so much." Jo stated, thinking of her closest ally.
"He misses you too." Jen said, as Jo smiled back at Jen for giving her the reassurance.
"Team Victory is safe tonight. Now Team Amazon Sadie and Chase gave you 44 points between both of them, so you need 111 between the last 3 people."
"That's 37 points per person." Harold said.
"Well ultimately you guys came up short. Sierra gave 17 points, Emma gave 30 points, and Ella gave 28 points. So Team Amazon you end the challenge at 119 points. You lost this morning."
Cody without even thinking stood up, and stepped forward, "I ruined the challenge for this team."
"What the hell is he doing?" Mickey asked himself in pure panic.
"If you are looking for someone to eliminate, eliminate me. I deserve it." Cody stated, as he turned back to his team.
"I am shocked he is doing this." Zoey said, as Topher nodded.
"He shouldn't give up so easily." Topher added.
"Hold on Cody, I am not done yet." Blaineley said, stepping back into the camera frame.
"What's going on?" Heather asked.
"Well due to Jasmine's medical evacuation back in Jamaica, we've been ahead of schedule for a couple rounds now, so we have been trying to decide when to implement a non-elimination, and with the amount of content with today's challenge. You guys provided enough for us today. So today is a reward challenge only!" Blaineley announced.
Everyone on all the teams cheered at this, as many felt relief, especially Team Amazon. On Team Victory Geoff immediately went to hug Bridgette "I am so happy, ow!" Geoff said before setting Bridgette back down.
"Uh Geoff, why is your chest completely red as a lobster?" Bridgette asked. Geoff had a sheepish grin on his face and whispered in her ear why. "What? You know, I'm proud of you for thinking outside the box today."
On Team Style, Jo was less enthusiastic than many others, "It would have been nice to lose another competitor." Jo told Owen. "But hey, we didn't lose or win. Do you want to see a doctor about your skin right now, by the way."
Lastly on Team Amazon, Cody looked at his teammates awkwardly as he walked back to them. "I promise to bring my all for the next challenge guys. Today was a fluke, in a way."
"You better, you deserve to go home." Anne Maria rudely stated, taking pleasure that Cody messed up for the day in her mind.
"Anne Maria, back off." Topher said as he and Anne Maria walked away, while Zoey looked at him.
Cody however nudged Mickey closer to Zoey as Mickey fell in front of Zoey's feet, "Oh my gosh are you okay? Mickey? You okay? You look like you've been crying today, your face is redder than a tomato."
Mickey, who thought he saw Cody nudged him, was still in a whirlwind of emotions but decided to try and show a brave face for Zoey. "I'm fine, I promise."
Confessional- Owen
"Today was great. I mean I do have a giant bandage on my chest. But Noah and I are on the same page I think to get rid of Alejandro. Also Jo had a great day today. How can I not be happy?"
Confessional- Harold
"Now that I know of Millie's journal. I am so interested in finding out about it. But I need someone to help me take it, since Ezekiel isn't willing, and I am trying to make sure he is still on my good side."
Confessional- Zoey
"What is going on with Mickey? He looked more nervous than normal. The dude is always scared, but it wasn't fear this time he was feeling. It just felt like sadness. But what happened?"
Confessional- Topher
"I don't like this aggressive side Anne Maria is showing. She is painting such a target on her back, and it doesn't help either of us at all."
Confessional- Julia
"Well now Sky is suspicious of me. So, I am going to play even dirtier and leave this team in disarray. I have an idea that if I can manage, I should easily cruise into the Top 20 in this game, and no one will stop me, not even Sky. But the thing is, she isn't the target of my sabotage."
Confessional- Mickey
"I don't understand Cody. He doesn't want to talk to me after he kisses me back. but then he tries to sacrifice himself in the game for my mess up. So many mixed messages. I don't know." Mickey then began to cry in the confessional with his hands in his face.
End of Episode
Blaineley was shown standing outside the hotel with Chef, and just the camera crew "Next time someone will be sent packing. What will the fallout be from each team? Will Harold find Millie's journal, what is Julia planning? Lastly, what will become of Cody and Mickey. Find out next time on Total Drama World Race?" Blaineley said as the episode closed.

Notes:
So thus ends the Dubai episode in what is probably going to be one of the biggest chapters of the whole story, which is ironic since no one has been eliminated.
This chapter was one that I knew was going to have to be very different and creative, as this episode in canon only has the tennis match, and window washing. Which neither were going to be able to be a full challenge with 30 people still in the game and 3 teams left. So I decided to look into the Burj Al Arab, and decided to have it be hotel work as the challenge.
Now instead of talking about the eliminated contestant. This time I will talk about why this was a non elim. With the twist I have planned for when the jumbo jet returns, I needed one of the chapters to just be a non-elim and set up future storylines. Because everyone left of the Final 30 still has some level of story left with them.
Having the eliminated contestants be the people judging, was for me such an obvious answer. However I could only do 5 since Team Amazon had 11 people still in.
This chapter was meant to start new plots (Harold's intrigue in the journal, Sky not trusting Julia, Heather maybe working with Katie and Jo, Tyler and Damien falling out) and continue other stories (Cody and Mickey's dynamic with Mickey now kissing Cody, Bowie's rivalry with Julia, Lindsay and Tyler's relationship with Millie trying to figure it out).
Next chapter we take our first visit to China, where the rules are thrown out for the challenge, as many unexpected duos have to work together, and the target is constantly shifting on the losing team, landing on a blindside that no one will see coming.
Until then, hope you enjoyed reading this. Please review/comment on this chapter, and story in general. So, the first China chapter will be a little delayed, but the goal is to have it out by Thanksgiving at the latest (aka late November). But regardless, thank you if you have read it this far.
Chapter 20: New Beijing Part 1
Summary:
The first part of the China chapter takes place, as new deals and friendships form, and a twist leaves some contemplating what to do next.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- New Beijing Part 1
Recap
Blaineley began the recap, "Previously on Total Drama World Race, it was time for the contestants to experience the real world in the service industry as they were to work the night at the Burj Al Arab in Dubai. With the guests being the past contestants who were eliminated, and while some reunions were happy." Footage of Beth being reunited with Lindsay, and Izzy seeing Owen outside, "Other reunions were more hostile to say the least." Sierra and Courtney nearly fighting in the lobby, as is Gwen and Kitty hiding Chase's stuff.
"On Team Victory, Harold and Ezekiel found a tool that helped with the challenge, while Ezekiel gave Harold a solid when he was reunited with Leshawna. Harold also discovered the existence of Millie's journal and was interested in finding out more about it. Elsewhere Lindsay found out about how Tyler was feeling before the season started."
"Team Style, had Owen and Noah agree to finally take out Alejandro once and for all. Bowie was trying to find the angle to send Julia home, and Sky found out from an eliminated Dave that he was sent home due to Julia. Julia however promised the show she was far from dead in this game
"Finally, Team Amazon, Anne Maria and Zoey were at odds as waitresses, with Zoey being thrown off by Anne Maria talking with Chase when she thought Anne Maria hated her. Courtney was off the whole day still feeling the effects of her breakup with Duncan." Footage of both events were shown with Blaineley's voiceover.
"But the biggest drama was with the once best friends Cody and Mickey. Mickey was forced to face his fears of squeegees and made him and Cody face life threatening danger. When the dust settled, Mickey finally acted on his feelings for Cody and the two shared both of their first kisses. But things were more awkward than anything." Footage of Mickey freaking out, Cody hanging on for dear life and the two of them kissing was shown.
"In the end no one was sent home and 30 still remain. Who will go home tonight? Your guess is as good as mine, but mine matters more as I am on TV, and this is Total Drama World Race!"

(End Of Intro)
Outside of Burj Al Arab
It was now a full 24 hours since the last challenge ended, as everyone left in the game stood outside the hotel with their teammates, as Blaineley began the episode, "Alright Final 30, today's challenge is taking place in China today. Specifically, Beijing China."
A fair amount of the contestants were now excited such as Kitty, Owen, Lindsay, but none were as excited as Harold was. "This is perfect for us. I am so well versed in Chinese culture. This is my challenge."
Team Victory felt optimistic with Harold's optimistic attitude as Millie walked up to him, "This is great for the team!" Millie said, as she made a mental note to write down for Harold's section of her journal.
Confessional- Harold
"Ever since Cameron told me and Ezekiel about Millie's journal, it is what he was interested in and now what I am focused on. The problem with trying to read that journal is that Millie keeps a hold on that journal at all times. But I have an eye on her now."
Confessional- Millie
Millie is shown writing in the journal, before looking up at the camera, "I think Team Victory finally has some momentum. We have won the last couple of challenges and in a way, we haven't truly voted anyone off since Leshawna." Millie then picked up her journal, "As for this thing, this is still for me to study the epic failure that is my generation, and a lot of people provide good research. Especially Lindsay."
First Class Commercial Airplane
In the first-class section of the plane was Team Victory as the camera first showed Lindsay getting a cucumber facial, "This is probably the best flight I have ever been on." Lindsay cheerfully said, as she took the cucumbers off her eyes. "What do you think, Millie?" Lindsay asked before realizing that Millie didn't have any of that stuff on. "Why aren't you doing this Millie?"
"This beauty stuff just isn't for me." Millie explained, before realizing no one on the team was within hearing range for them "Lindsay, you trust me, right?" Millie asked.
"Of course, Millie, you've pretty much been my new best friend since Beth left, and everything that went down with Tyler." Lindsay explained. "Is something wrong?"
"Nothing massive. I just wanted to form a Final 2 deal together between both of us." Millie explained as Lindsay looked confused. "What's wrong, you look puzzled?
"I don't get what a Final 2 deal is?" Lindsay asked.
"Okay, during Season 2 out of everyone who competed with you that season, you were the most loyal to Beth, right?" Millie asked as she was also trying to explain to Lindsay what a Final 2 deal was.
"Yeah, she was my first bestie as you know before you came along." Lindsay said, as she was now missing Beth again.
"Exactly, I will be the most loyal to you and want us to be the last 2 standing." Millie further explained. "Are you in?"
"I am, but what about Danny and Tyler?" Lindsay asked, curious as to why Millie wanted to leave Damien out.
Millie knew she had to be honest, as she was officially leaving Damien out of her plans, "Damien. Not Danny, he is just exhausting and stressful as an ally. He is always scheming, plotting in the game and he is exhausting. As for Tyler, well Tyler is Tyler, and I imagine you don't want him to know about this." Millie explained.
"That's great!" Lindsay said, in an excited tone, as she changed the subject, "If we get any free time in China, I have a makeover plan for you as I want you to embrace your outer beauty."
Confessional- Millie
"Ever since Shawn quit back in Jamaica, I have been reanalyzing my whole game, and I have to at this point cut Damien out of my game. He is so paranoid, I can't take it anymore. But I don't want to lose Lindsay, hence why I made this Final 2. She trusts me, and I trust her." Millie said as she pulled out her journal "Also she provides great research. Lindsay told me the other day that she thinks the shampoo fairy will hunt her down. Whatever that means."
First Class Jacuzzi
Back with Team Victory, the commercial flight had a jacuzzi area that was being occupied by Tyler and Damien, but the tension was thick with both of them as the last challenge, Damien had grown frustrated with Tyler, while Tyler felt like Damien didn't value him as an ally or more importantly in Tyler's eyes, a friend. "Tyler, today is the day I need your head in the game all day today." Damien tried to remind Tyler.
"You know Damien, you are never supportive of me trying to get back together with Lindsay." Tyler said irritated at Damien.
"I do support you. I am the only person on this team who talks to you?" Damien retorted back. "But you still plated with Lindsay's heart which is wrong." Tyler scowled at that, as Damien continued on even more, "Also I didn't come in this game for love or in your case popularity."
"Dude screw off for saying that junk. You and I both know that I'm genuine with Lindsay. Beyond popularity." Tyler angrily said back, offended that Damien was trying to imply he was a fake.
"You're more genuine with chasing fame and popularity and we both know I'm right." Damien once again said, as he felt like Damien wanted the best of both worlds and to have Lindsay while also getting popularity this season.
Tyler however was now livid, and he knew that he had to get out of Damien's sight, or he would do something he would regret. "I'm going to go to the bathroom. Damien, you're a massive jerk." Tyler coldly stated as he then walked away.
Confessional- Tyler
"If it wasn't for the fact that I didn't want to embarrass myself in front of Lindsay. I probably would have given Damien a punch in the face. I don't get why Damien is now trying to provoke me. But he and I have always had a rocky friendship here. Let's see here, Damien convinced me to vote out Beth behind Lindsay's back." (Footage of Damien whispering to Tyler before the Beth elimination was shown). "What else? He was one of the only people who had a problem with my wardrobe choice for the Amazon." (Footage of Tyler wearing his tracksuit as a singular object for his whole body during the Amazon challenge was shown) "The worst thing is the fact that he knows I told him in Paris the second time, that besides Lindsay everything I did this season was for popularity. But he just forgets that and now he decided to treat me like dirt, like seriously dude? All Damien cares about is the game, and at times I wonder if I am better off leaving him as an ally."
First Class Seats
In another part of First Class with Team Victory was Ezekiel and Harold relaxing in two of the chairs, and after the last challenge, both were starting to finally come together as allies and friends. But neither were ready to admit it. "I'm sorry for voting you out in Jamaica. That was wrong of me." Harold apologized, "I do think we should work together in this game though."
Ezekiel was admittedly caught off guard however by the latter statement, "Why do you say that eh?" Ezekiel asked. "Last time we tried to work together, we ended up having both Cameron and Leshawna leave the game, eh." Ezekiel explained as he sighed soon after thinking of how much he missed Cameron.
"True, but here is how the team is set up." Harold said as he pulled out a piece of paper.
"What is that eh?" Ezekiel asked.
"It's a sheet of paper I made last night of where I see the team." Harold explained as it showed the letters BGB on one side, along with LTDM on the other side. "The way I see it, Bridgette, Geoff, and Brody are a tight trio, and then you have Millie, Lindsay, Tyler, and Damien all working together." Harold said as Ezekiel raised his eyebrows. "What?"
"Tyler and Damien constantly argue. Are they really working together?" Ezekiel asked.
"Regardless, they still have never turned against each other." Harold said. "We need each other. Also, I just want to thank you for the last challenge."
"Thank me? For what eh." Ezekiel asked.
"For taking Leshawna's spot in the back half of the Dubai challenge." Harold explained ,"Leshawna and I had a great time in the hotel room."
"Thanks, but I don't need specifics." Ezekiel said, as he didn't need to hear if Harold and Leshawna did more than making out.
"All we did was make out in the hotel bed for an hour." Harold said, "Gosh! I am not a complete pervert." Harold said, before wanting to change the topic, "Now about Millie's journal."
"Look Harold, eh. I am willing to vote with you and work together. But I already told you I am not standing guard eh." Ezekiel explained. "This is all on you to figure out."
'Fine. Honestly, there are 27 people in this game who aren't us or Millie so one of them has to be willing to stand guard while I read it." Harold reasoned.
First Class Bar
A little way away from Harold and Ezekiel, was Geoff and Brody who were sitting at a table in first class, drinking soda. As they too actually decided to talk a little strategy. Mainly Geoff, so Bridgette would be happy with him. "Dude, we need to get more people with us. Like a peak bro."
"Who is the peak bro, bro?" Brody asked.
"I am thinking Tyler should be who we approach dude." Geoff stated. "He and Lindsay have always been a sick couple, and if we get them together." Geoff said until Brody interrupted him.
"They would work with us." Brody exclaimed. "Dude why do I never think of these things?" Brody asked.
"I don't know, but if we get Lindsay and Tyler together, we have the majority with 5 of us." Geoff explained.
"That is so deep dude." Brody said. "I hope this works out."
A little farther away, by herself was the last member of Team Victory still not to be featured in the episode, Bridgette. She was sitting by herself, trying to think of what was best for her game, "Please have today be a challenge I can lead for once."
Confessional- Bridgette
"I don't even know what to do with my game. I know Geoff is loyal, and I am hoping his head is in the game." (Sighs) "It doesn't help that I feel like I am getting pulled in so many different directions, I have the trio with myself, Geoff, and Brody. Both Damien and Millie have expressed interest in working with me. I get along really well with Ezekiel, Harold, and Lindsay. I have no clue what to do."
Economy Section
In coach class, the camera showed Jo and Owen sitting next to each other with Owen excited about visiting China, "I've always wanted to visit China and eat fortune cookies. Whenever I eat them, they taste like cookies to me to some level." Owen exclaimed. "What about you Jo?"
"I just don't want culture shock." Jo said as she looked out the window.
"What's culture shock, Jo?" Owen asked, as he now looked at Jo with confusion.
"Culture shock from what I remember is the feeling of disorientation experienced by someone who is suddenly subjected to an unfamiliar culture, way of life, or set of attitudes." Jo then had a thousand yard stare on her face. "Holy shit, I just sounded like Harold or Noah." Jo said as she shuddered in disgust.
Alejandro, who was sitting in front of them popped his head over, was irritated and spoke up, "Both of you just shut up already." Alejandro barked out. "Fortune cookies originated from Japan not China, dumbass." Alejandro said as Owen glared at Alejandro after the insult. "As for you Jo, if you have culture shock, maybe you should go back to the gym and not be ignorant. Now both of you shut up, I want to sleep for this flight."
Alejandro's outburst as expected rubbed both Owen and Jo the wrong way, "What an asshole!" Jo called out.
"Next time we lose, he is gone. I don't care what anyone else says or does, I am voting Alejandro next off unless he is immune." Owen proudly announced.
Confessional- Jo
"I truly hate Alejandro. He is just a huge jerk. The good news is that since I sat out of the last challenge, I'm immune the next time Team Style loses. Hopefully Owen and I can finally get rid of Alejandro for good."
Back in Economy Section
Back in the coach class, Jen and Trent were also sitting at the window seats of the plane, as Trent was shown nervously twiddling his fingers, "What's wrong Trent?" Jen asked.
"I'm just very nervous now." Trent said. "Justin leaving has me so worried that I'm the next one out. We only have Bowie as an ally and that's it." Trent explained.
"As long as we win the challenges we'll be fine." Jen reassures Trent, before continuing on, "If we put our mind to something we can achieve anything."
"Even Iceland and the fossils." Trent teased Jen, his spirits lifted after what Jen said.
"Hey, what happens in Iceland stays in Iceland." Jen said back. "Regardless, we need each other in this game. You're a great support system for me in this game." Jen told Trent. However before Trent could tell Jen how he really felt about Jen. Jen kept on talking. "I really wish I had packed my camera as China is a beautiful country. The country has over 20 million people so the fashion there has to be good." Jen explained as Trent remained transfixed on what Jen was saying.
Confessional- Trent
"It's nerve wracking, genuinely terrifying." Trent said before calming down. "I feel like my game is on a timer. On the plane ride to China, I wanted to ask Jen out, but she just went on about fashion, not that I mind. She is reassuring me. But I am just nervous. With Justin gone, I am a sitting duck."
Back To Scene
The next group shown was Sky, Noah, and Julia, with Julia painting her nails, while Noah read a book. Sky noticed this and decided to give both of them alone time, as she was curious of what Julia was going to tell Noah. "I am going to go to the bathroom." Sky announced as she left Noah and Julia by themself.
Julia was happy Sky left, as she knew Sky was now potentially against her after what Dave said in Dubai, but since Noah was obviously most loyal to Sky, getting rid of her wasn't an option, but Julia realized that while Sky leaving wasn't an option in this conversation, the threat of it could be. "I have an idea of who we should target next but I need your help." Julia told Noah.
"I'm all ears." Noah explained not exactly listening to Julia. "What did you have in mind?"
"We need to do a sabotage." Julia said, hoping this would get Noah's attention.
As it turned out it did. Noah instantly turned to Julia in shock, "Absolutely not. Vote someone out of this game? Yes I will do it in a heartbeat, but sabotaging someone and being a complete dick to them on the way out the door, nope not a chance." Noah explained.
Julia knew she had the upper hand, but was annoyed that Noah was apprehensive, "Okay look. I will try to get someone else to do what I want, but if not you're going to have to do this sabotage." Julia threatened, as Noah raised his eyebrows in confusion, and bafflement, "Otherwise, I am going to turn the team against you and Sky."
Before Noah could say anything, Julia stood up and walked away to the restroom, Noah was left dumbstruck as he was wondering how would Julia have the numbers to send either him or Sky home. "What the hell?" Noah asked himself.
Luckily for Noah, Sky sat down, and now Noah had time with his closest ally and crush, "What's wrong?" Sky asked, confused of Noah frowning.
"Julia wants to plan a sabotage against someone else within the team." Noah explained as Sky now raised her eyebrows and her mouth opened in disbelief, "I know, it's ridiculous."
"It's not only ridiculous, but dangerous. Did Julia at least specify who was the target?" Sky asked, as Noah shook his head no. "Of course not." Sky said, as she looked around to make sure Julia was not back to overhear what she was about to say. Luckily for her, Julia wasn't. "What I am about to say can't be repeated."
"Okay, what's up? You were looking paranoid just now." Noah observed.
"Last challenge, Dave told me that Julia was that 8th vote to send him out back in the Morocco challenge, now she's threatening you to sabotage? We have to keep an eye on her at all times." Sky explained, unfortunately for Sky the conversation couldn't continue on as Julia arrived back to sit with them.
Meanwhile
While things were awkward and tense with Julia, Noah, and Sky things were much more lighthearted for Duncan and Gwen as they had spent the last 10 minutes throwing pretzels onto a sleeping Heather, both waiting for the right moment to truly mess with her. "Shoot and score!" Duncan exclaimed. "This is probably the happiest moment so far in this game for me." Duncan said he then saw a flight attendant walk by, "Excuse me ma'am the lady in front of us, has been a real sloppy eater, and snorer." Duncan said.
"This bitch." the flight attendant said before noticing that Heather was sleeping, "Wake up you ungrateful twit." the flight attendant called out as Heather came too. "Clean yourself up!"
As the flight attendant stormed off, Heather had woken up and brushed off all the pretzels on her. She was doing her best to stay calm, as Katie noticed she was angry and was sitting next to her, "Are you okay?"
"I've gotten food thrown on me and cussed out today so far. Yeah I am doing great." Heather sarcastically said. "Regardless, it is nice of you to be concerned." Heather said, before her mind realized something, "Why are you talking with me? You and I, until a week ago, probably spoke no more than 10 words to each other."
"I know. But we need each other in this game." Katie explained.
Heather laughed at that sentiment. "Need each other? Are you serious right now?" Heather asked in disbelief.
"Yeah I am completely serious. We both are suspicious of Alejandro, and I don't have anyone on this team, and I think you don't either." Katie said.
Heather didn't want to admit it, but Katie was right, ever since Emma's elimination, Heather relied solely on being good at challenges. But her position on the team was tenuous. "You bring up some good points." Heather said, but her mind was curious, "Who would you even want to take out from this team that isn't us?"
Katie knew the answer, and hoped Heather would agree but decided to just mouth the words "Gwen" to Heather so Gwen didn't overhear that part of the conversation they were having. "I would absolutely get rid of Anne Maria." Katie said, indicating to Heather she was being facetious, Heather took the cue and nodded her head.
Confessional- Katie
"I do stand by what I said when I voted for Heather in the Amazon. She is not a nice person." Katie said, before taking a deep breath. "But looking at Team Amazon, she is one of my only shots in this game. Ella leaving has made me want to play this game so much harder. What better way to do that, than go with the biggest liar in the game."
Confessional- Heather
"I have to admit, I am shocked Katie is willing to align with me. But she's right I need my own ally. Ever since Emma left, I have been looking for anyone to pick me up as an ally. Besides it is working with Katie, and she and I have two targets in mind, Gwen and Alejandro."
Back To Scene
In a row farther up from Heather and Katie, was Courtney and Scott. Courtney was feeling down, the breakup with Duncan, still weighed heavy on her mind. That breakup back in Jamaica had turned her more emotional and volatile, with her reaching her worst when she was rude to her former teammates during the Dubai challenge. Courtney was thankful it was a reward challenge, as she knew she was a target. "I can't mess up today." Courtney told herself, trying to put the last challenge behind her. "I have to do great today."
Scott was in a pickle himself, ever since Duncan broke up with Courtney, it was a blessing for him, Courtney was now officially single. So he could eventually ask her out. But due to the breakup, she wasn't in the right state of mind. Scott only barely got the votes to keep Courtney in Romania, and he knew time was limited on Courtney's life in the game if things kept going the way they were going. "You will do great today." Scott told Courtney, who gasped as Scott looked confused. "What? Was it something I said?"
"You heard me?" Courtney said, completely embarrassed. "How long have you been listening to me?"
"We've been on this flight for an hour." Scott said in a deadpan tone. "What's wrong?" Scott asked.
"I am just annoyed." Courtney sighed. "Duncan is having the time of his life, and meanwhile I am a mess. It's like I meant nothing to him."
Scott could only feel sympathy for Scott "I'm sorry about all that." Scott told Courtney.
Confessional- Scott
"I have to find some way to keep Courtney. Because even if she has a good challenge performance, I feel like it is a coin toss if her or Anne Maria leave if the team loses next. So I need to find a way to help Courtney in any way. Whether that means sabotaging another team, throwing a challenge, or whatever I will do." Scott said before looking down at the ground. "Courtney deserves to be here so much."
Back To Scene
The next people shown were Kitty and Cody, as both were cuddling each other. For both of them however, there was a sense of uneasiness. Kitty was happy she was in a relationship, but something felt wrong for her. As long as Kitty was growing up, she had a great love detector, it was how she was able to tell when all of her relationships with her older sister were going to fall apart. The thing was, deep down, Kitty felt like her relationship with Cody was more like her sister's relationships, than her own fairytale.
As for Cody, he was in a whirlwind. He finally had a girlfriend, something he thought he desired. Yet the last challenge ended with him and his best friend in the game Mickey, kissing across a Dubai morning sky. That kiss had frazzled him but it mostly made him feel all sorts of emotions, he felt guilt in regards to Kitty, he felt ashamed of himself for having that happen in the first place, but also confusion with himself. But it was something he just wanted to bury deep down. For now he was going to enjoy this plane ride with Kitty. "Did I ever tell you of some of the video games I used to play growing up?" Cody asked.
"No you haven't." Kitty said, as she looked at Cody. "What were some of them?"
"Sly Cooper was my jam growing up." Cody explained before kissing Kitty on the cheek. Cody then noticed that Kitty looked confused. "What's wrong?"
"I'm just shocked you're acting so affectionate with me today." Kitty explained before asking a question that threw Cody completely off guard. "Why are you acting so passionate, and flirting with me?"
Cody was thrown off by Kitty's questioning of him. He knew the reason why he was being extra affectionate was due to the kiss with Mickey, as he just wanted to suppress it and make it clear he was with Kitty. However, Cody said something that at the time seemed innocuous but would have repercussions down the road, "I just want you to know how much I care for you. Heck I am looking forward to our first kiss as it would be my first kiss in general." Cody explained, even though he was lying about the fact Kitty would be his first kiss. "I've got a good feeling about today."
Meanwhile
The person that was Cody's first kiss Mickey was breathing heavily into a bag, trying to make sure he was okay on the flight. However he stopped when he heard what Cody said about Kitty being his first kiss. Mickey rolled his eyes in disgust, "Unbelievable." Mickey told himself. "He is so annoying."
Mickey was sitting next to Zoey, someone who Mickey had formed a solid friendship around since Newfoundland, the two agreed to a final 2 deal. Zoey noticed her friend's rather frustrated state, and was concerned. "Who's annoying you?" Zoey asked.
"Cody." Mickey flatly said. "He is annoying me right now."
"Why?" Zoey asked. Zoey was thrown off entirely by Mickey saying that it's been long established within Team Amazon, that Cody and Mickey, the two physically weakest members of the team, were best friends. "Isn't Cody your best friend here?"
"He was my best friend. But the last challenge was a disaster for us, and he doesn't want to talk to me." Mickey explained. "I don't know what I did wrong." Mickey said, lying about the kiss.
"What happened in Dubai." Zoey asked bluntly. Zoey felt like Mickey was extra off since the Dubai challenge ended, and it had to do with Cody.
Mickey however was now nervous, as he didn't expect Zoey to push the issue further. "Cody and I, we just, we just had a huge argument at the last challenge, and it was really personal." Mickey said.
Luckily for him, Zoey decided not to push the issue any further. "That sounds awful." Zoey said, patting Mickey on the back. "Whatever it is, you know you can talk to me about. Whenever you are ready."
"Thanks Zoey." Mickey said, as he pulled out the tissue that had his bloody nose. "Oh gross. I need another tissue. You have them right?"
"Right here." Zoey told Mickey. pulling tissues out for her friend.
Confessional- Mickey
"I am just not ready to tell Zoey everything." Mickey sighed. "This stupid kiss is just absolutely crazy, and I should have never done it." Mickey lamented, before he looked around. "Yet, why did Cody kiss me back, as I know he did."
Shuttle Bus
All the contestants along with Blaineley and Chef had made it to China and were now in a shuttle bus heading to the first challenge site. Geoff and Tyler were seated together, on the behalf of Geoff, "Dude, when we get a chance I would love to talk today." Geoff told Tyler.
Tyler, was admittedly thrown off, "Uh thanks." Tyler told Geoff. Before speaking again, "But today I just want to focus on the challenge."
A couple rows back was Sky and Noah, with Noah looking stressed. Something Sky quickly noticed, "Don't worry about Julia. We have each other as close friends in this game." Sky told Noah, as his face fell. "I have your back Noah."
Confessional- Noah
"Ugh, I wish it was more than friends." Noah complained. "But I can't complain, she has my back, and I have hers."
Bird's Nest Stadium
Everyone had made their way off the bus, as Blainely announced the challenge, "Today's first challenge is really team has a plane, and every person has to jump out of the plane and land inside the bird's nest stadium." Blaineley explained. "Land in the donut hole and you earn a point for your team."
"Ooh boy donuts!" Owen cheered out.
Team Style Plane
"That's the donut?!" Owen exclaimed. "Disappointed. When are we getting a food challenge? I always excel at those."
"You are an absolute dumbass." Alejandro told Owen, in disgust. Alejandro then turned to his teammates, "Well I'm going to lead today's challenge. Any objections?" Alejandro asked.
"No, when do we start your majesty?" Noah asked sarcastically.
Alejandro was reminded in that moment of how much he hated the smarmy know it all, and decided he wanted to repeat his actions in Jamaica, "Let's have you start pipsqueak." Alejandro said as he grabbed Noah out of the plane and threw him out. "What, I am not having someone back talk to me today?" Alejandro said as he saw his team's disapproving looks.
"I'm coming, Noah!" Sky yelled out as she jumped out of the plane to retrieve her closest ally. Soon after everyone would jump out of Team Style's plane.
Team Victory Plane
The next plane shown was Team Victory, and one person in particular was excited about this challenge, Bridgette. Mainly due to the prospect of her leading the team, "Okay guys, I wanna lead this challenge, so what I am thinking…." Bridgette said until Brody interrupted her.
"I've got this girl!" Brody yelled out, "Cowabunga!" Brody said as he threw himself off the plane.
Bridgette was annoyed that she was being ignored again for trying to be a leader, "Are you kidding me?"
Geoff looked at his girlfriend with reassurance, "It's okay babe. Dude is just excited." Geoff explained, before looking out at the exit, "Coming dude!" Geoff screamed out as he jumped out of the exit.
Bridgette was now borderline besides herself, "Is anyone willing to listen to me?"
"It's just jumping out of the plane, we probably don't need a leader." Harold explained. "Sorry."
"Thanks, everyone jump now!" Bridgette ordered, as everyone on Team Victory that wasn't Tyler or Damien jumped out of the plane.
Damien was shown looking nervously outside. "I am not sure I can do this." Damien said to himself, until Tyler grabbed him and pulled both off of the plane.
"It's now or never dude!" Tyler cheered out.
"I prefer never, never!" Damien cried out.
Confessional- Damien
"Parachuting in Beijing, China, is probably one of the most terrifying things I have ever done." Damien said, before he smiled. "But Tyler did help me conquer my fear of heights."
Jumping Out of Plane
At this point every person on every team had jumped out of their planes, with the camera showing first Owen, and Noah as Noah landed face first onto the cement. With Owen falling next to him. "Are you okay buddy?" Owen asked.
"I can't feel my face." Noah said muffled into the ground. "Alejandro is a dead man."
Another 4 people were shown failing with Ezekiel and Tyler getting their parachutes mixed up, and both sent falling into a gong "No, no dude!" Tyler cried out, but he and Ezekiel ended up face first into said gong.
The other 2 that failed were Zoey and Topher as a huge gust of wind sent them both drifting off center, "Come on Topher, we got this!" Zoey pleaded out. Unfortunately for her and Topher they landed right on a Billboard with Topher going face first.
Confessional- Zoey and Topher
Zoey and Topher were shown together with Topher still having the remnants of the billboard on his head. "Is my hair, okay?" Topher asked in a nervous tone.
"It's fine, I mean a comb over should fix it." Zoey said. "Is that what it's called?" Zoey asked as Topher nodded. "Regardless, you'll be fine. Just a freak accident."
Topher finally smiled at that notion, "Thank you, even if this is embarrassing." Topher said blushing.
"Why is it embarrassing?" Zoey asked. "You're still an asset to the team."
Topher then took off the billboard and realized Zoey's joke. "Okay that was a good one."
Back To Scene
The last people that were shown failing were Cody and Mickey as Cody didn't land in the hole but landed on the outside of the ring but was now trying to hold on desperately. "Come on Cody, you've got this." Cody told himself trying to climb up the structure.
Unfortunately for Cody, Mickey's parachute went wild, and before Cody could react Mickey's parachute ended up tangled in Cody's dragging both to the ground almost instantly. "Ow!" Mickey cried out. Mickey then noticed that he was on the ground with Cody on top of him, and he decided to try to make light of the situation "Now I know how Cameron and Ezekiel feel." Mickey joked, before looking around and asking, "What do you think, Cody?"
Cody was so annoyed at that moment, he failed the first part of the challenge, after promising his teammates he would do better. Worse yet, he was in a compromising position with Mickey, one that if anyone saw, it would make it look like they were a couple. "At least they didn't kiss each other against the other one's will." Cody said, however the latter part was something he didn't mean to add.
"You kissed me back, you liar." Mickey said in the parachute. Mickey didn't expect Cody to like him back, but to deny the kiss in general had pissed him off. "I know you kissed me, or are you just going to deny that, like other things." Mickey said in anger, the latter part stunning both Cody and Mickey that he would be willing to say that.
Before Cody could probably start beating Mickey up and vice versa, Topher and Zoey had walked up to both of them. "What's up?" Topher asked before noticing the compromising position. "Are we intruding on something?" Topher further asked, confused of what happened with Cody and Mickey.
Mickey had luckily gotten himself out of the wreckage "I'm fine, I'm fine." Mickey said as he and Zoey walked away, as Zoey wanted to make sure Mickey was okay. "Cody is such a liar."
"What happened to you guys?" Zoey asked. "Are you okay?"
Mickey still felt bad he was lying to Zoey about the kiss with Cody, but he decided to hold off on telling her, but he also knew there was no point in faking it that there wasn't something wrong with him and Cody. "I wanna talk about it later."
Inside Donut Hole Stadium
At the same time, some people failed, there were others that succeeded as Trent and Jen landed in the stadium, giving each other a smile, only for Brody and Geoff to land on top of them, "Dudes this awesome!" Brody cheered. Then Gwen landed on top of them with Duncan right next to her, but both were silent.
Despite landing in the stadium, however, Anne Maria had an awkward landing as she landed on her ankle, spraining it. "Ow, damn it." Anne Maria cried out, before looking around "Where is Topher?" Anne Maria asked, confused about where her boyfriend was.
Another set of people that landed were Harold and Bridgette with Harold looking freaked out, while Bridgette cheered out. "That was awesome!" Harold then fell to the ground paralyzed with fear. "Oh my gosh, Harold, what's wrong?"
"This jump freaked me out. I am not scared of heights like Mickey is, or planes like Owen is. But still this freaked me out." Harold said.
"But you did it Harold, and I imagine everyone, especially Leshawna will be proud of you." Bridgette reassured Harold, happy to have someone to talk to.
Second Challenge Setup
Everyone was shown gathered outside of the stadium, with Kitty noticing her boyfriend Cody's rough state, "What happened to you?" Kitty asked.
"I missed the donut, nothing else." Cody quickly stated.
"Here is where we stand after the first challenge, Team Amazon and Team Victory are at 7 points, while Team Style is at 8 points." Blaineley explained with members of Team Style cheering. "Now here is our second challenge, we are going back to duos."
"Of course we are." Noah said.
"Well with these duos, not a lot of them are people on the same team, for example, Owen and Ezekiel are a duo." Blaineley explained as both cheered. "Next duo is Gwen and Bridgette."
"It's great to be reunited, Gwen." Bridgette told Gwen walking up to her. Both happy to be reunited with each other, "Sorry for last season by the way." Bridgette told Gwen.
"It's fine, I voted you out. You judged me for a breakup. I would say we're even." Gwen joked before getting her composure back, "But seriously, we are fine."
"Next duo is Heather and Katie."
"I'm taking the lead on this challenge." Heather claimed, to Katie whispering in her ear with Katie agreeing by nodding her head.
"Next up is Geoff and Duncan."
Duncan and Geoff walked up to each other and gave each other a high five in excitement, "It's funny we are partnered together. As are our girlfriends."
Duncan however was completely thrown off by what Geoff said, "What are you talking about?" Duncan asked, as Geoff stayed silent, to further mess with Duncan.
"Next duo is Lindsay and Tyler."
"I hate this!" Lindsay yelled out as she glared at her ex-boyfriend. "Don't say a word, Tyler."
Confessional- Tyler
"I still do want Lindsay and I back together." Tyler said snickering. "But today, I need to get some anger out. Would have been better if it was Damien I was partnered with." Tyler said bitterly thinking of Damien, the guy who was supposed to be his best friend. "But maybe this will show Lindsay I don't care about popularity." Tyler explained, unaware that while what he had planned wouldn't make him popular it would make the audience also hate him.
Back To Scene
"Next duo is Trent and Sky"
"Oh, this is cool." Sky said as she walked up to Trent and fist bumped him, before seeing him frown, "Why are you so glum?"
"I'm just nervous. I feel like I am the next one to leave." Trent explained, as Sky patted him on the back. "Promise me you'll keep me tonight if we do lose?" Trent asked.
"Well we aren't going to lose." Sky confidently said, before looking at Trent again, "But if we do somehow lose I will not vote you out." Sky said, before whispering to Trent's ears. "I will also keep Jen as well."
"The next duo is Alejandro and Harold."
Alejandro walked up to Harold, and bowed his head to the nerd, "It's an honor."
Harold however rolled his eyes at what Alejandro was doing. "Oh quit the gentleman act." Harold sternly said.
"Whatever do you mean?" Alejandro said feigning ignorance, as Alejandro of course knew why Harold was pissed at him.
"Do not talk to me like I am some idiot. Gosh!" Harold said, raising his voice. "You and I both know that you played a huge role in sending Leshawna home." Harold accused, before his tone turned from accusatory to sinister, "I can't get my revenge right now, but you and I are not, nor will I ever be your friend."
"Touche." Alejandro said, dropping his nice facade that continued to be ineffective for a while now.
"Next duo is Courtney and Bowie."
Bowie was actually excited for this partnership, due to one reason "Ooh exciting! I wanna see your feisty side." Bowie told Courtney.
"My what?" Courtney asked. "Whatever, let's just get this challenge over with." Courtney sternly said.
"Next duo is Cody and Noah." Blaineley exclaimed, "I know some online fans who will be excited."
"Hey?" Cody and Noah awkwardly said to each other, before the camera cut away to the confessional.
Confessional- Noah
"People like to think that Cody and I are really close, trust me I have seen the ship art. It's gross. I don't swing that way. But one thing Cody and I do have, is that both of us are experts when telling when the other one is lying. If I want, I could ask him about some of his teammates beyond his (air quote) girlfriend."
Confessional- Cody
"I had 3 worst case scenarios. 1. I get partnered with Anne Maria and we get into another verbal argument and fight." Cody explained, before pulling his second finger up. "Number 2. I end up getting partnered with Mickey, and it is peak awkwardness." Cody said before pulling his third finger up. "Or my worst-case scenario, being partnered with Noah, I can only hope he doesn't ask any leading questions, as I am a horrible liar around him."
Back To Scene
"Next duo is Zoey and Jen,"
"Hi, Jen." Zoey said shyly until Jen shook her hand aggressively. "Woah did I do something wrong?"
"No, absolutely no. I've just always wanted to talk with you, as I have loved your fashion sense." Jen explained. "The flower in your hair is fierce."
"Next up is Body and Scott."
Brody excitedly approached Scott, "Bro we got this, isn't this exciting."
"(sarcastically) Great." Scott said, wishing he was anywhere else.
Confessional- Scott
"I have decided to throw today's challenge." Scott declared, before looking around the room. "I have to make sure Courtney is safe at all costs, and Brody is annoying." Scott then sighed in sadness. "Worst case scenario, I go home, and Courtney at least gets another chance to keep fighting in this game."
Back To Scene
"The next duo is Jo and Julia."
Jo was annoyed, as despite voting together to send Justin home, Jo still hated Julia. "Seriously, I have to work with the fakest girl in the game?"
"Trust me I am not thrilled, let's just prove the boys wrong." Julia told Jo.
"Anne Maria and Mickey are a duo."
"Are you freaking kidding me?" Anne Maria complained. "Once again, I get stuck with a total nerd for a challenge, instead of my boyfriend." Anne Maria said before turning to Mickey. "I'm taking the lead on this challenge. So keep gawking at Cody like the twink you are."
Mickey was annoyed he was partnered with Anne Maria, since they didn't really get along, but when Anne Maria called Mickey a twink, that had struck a nerve. "Excuse me? What did you just call me?" Mickey asked.
"I am not repeating it, but just stay out of my way, got it?" Anne Maria sternly told Mickey.
Confessional- Mickey
"Anne Maria is a pain, and I could have sworn she called me a twink." Mickey explained. "Twink is a term used with gay people, describes someone slim and not much muscle, which does kind of describe me to a tease." Mickey bragged before his face fell again. "But that's not the point. Anne Maria may know I am gay. Am I not subtle about this at all?" Mickey worried.
Back To Scene
"The final duos are Topher and Kitty, along with Millie and Damien."
Kitty admittedly was nervous about working with Topher, he presented himself as this nice guy, who was down to earth. Yet she had a bad feeling about him. Kitty wanted to keep her relationship with Cody, hence why she recommended Zoey date Mickey, fearing slightly that Mickey had a thing for Cody, but even if she didn't have the suspicions of Mickey. She still didn't think Zoey should date Topher, as she had a gut feeling Topher was hiding something. "Hi Topher." Kitty shyly said. "I guess, we are working together."
"Yeah, isn't this so exciting Kitty?" Topher asked in an eager tone. "Oh I remember you had your selfie camera, right?" Kitty nodded at Topher's question, "Great, can we take a selfie?" Topher asked.
"Sure." Kitty nonchalantly said. The two took a pose of a serious face, and then a silly pose.
The last duo was Millie and Damien, with Damien telling Millie "Let's do this." Damien cheered out.
Street Food Vendor/End of Part 1 of the Episode
Everyone had made their way to the second challenge site, as there was a single food stand and many boxes around it. However Gwen and Scott who were standing next to each other, weren't interested in that. "You have that look in your eye Scott. The one where you have something devious planned." Gwen told Scott. "What do you have planned?"
"A sabotage." Scott flatly said, "Do you want part of it?"
"No. But I also wouldn't tell Courtney about it." Gwen told Scott, as he nodded. "You know she doesn't like the whole sabotage thing at all."
"I understand, but I need to protect her so if we do lose the attention is off of her at the very least." Scott explained, but not revealing that he himself would throw the challenge. "It's a risk. But she's worth it."
"Sure she is. But don't have this backfire on your face." Gwen told Scott.
Blaineley then got everyone's attention. "Attention everyone it is time for the second challenge, one member of each duo has to skewer and deep fry Beijing street food. While the person who doesn't fry it, has to chop it down." Blaineley explained as many people cringed. "You must get a spider, bat, worm, crab, and a scorpion in that order, eat the food. Now it is time for the twist."
"Of course, there is a twist, there's always a twist." Bowie sarcastically said.
"The twist is for this challenge and the final one today. I will only say this once, so listen up. Here's how this works: 1st place gets 15 points, 2nd place gets 14 and so on and so forth with 15th getting 1 measly point and that will go for both people in the duos. The team with the lowest amount of points is sending someone home tonight. No matter what." Blaineley explained as many people gasped, many rethinking everything about these next two parts of the challenge.
Confessional- Cody
"This changes a lot. If someone wanted too, they could throw the challenge and drag another team down if they are partnered with someone else that is not on their original team." Cody said, before looking around. "Not that I would."
Confessional- Bowie
"Do I throw Courtney to the wolves, but risk myself if it backfires? I don't know." Bowie told himself. "Both are feasible."
Confessional- Scott
"If I throw this challenge I could send Brody out the door, but Bowie could do the same to Courtney if he throws the challenge, and notices that I am doing that." Scott wondered. "Do I trust that Topher, the nerds, and all the girls on the team can keep Team Amazon afloat so I can throw this challenge without any problem, and both Courtney and I stay." Scott further pondered as the episode closed out for the first part was done.

Notes:
So, this episode is another long one, and because of how long Dubai was I decided to change the story a bit structure wise, so from now on I have decided to split every episode from here on out into 2 parts, as these episodes are going to keep being long, as the game continues on, and I decided this may make it easier to read.
First thing, I wanted to establish what most characters were feeling and thinking on the plane, heading into this challenge. This will happen more and more, especially the deeper into the story we get.
Now since this isn't the end of the episode, I don't have a ton of author notes. Beyond the donut hole challenge. For that the only change was just having everyone do solo jumps.
Lastly the duos, here is a reminder of who will be partnered together for the street food challenge, and race to the Great Wall of China.
Duos: Owen/Ezekiel, Gwen/Bridgette, Heather/Katie, Duncan/Geoff, Lindsay/Tyler, Trent/Sky, Harold/Alejandro, Courtney/Bowie, Cody/Noah, Zoey/Jen, Scott/Brody, Jo/Julia, Anne-Maria/Mickey, Topher/Kitty, and Millie/Damien.
So will the duos with not much trust self-destruct (Lindsay and Tyler, Harold and Alejandro, Jo and Julia), or will the duos with some level of trust overthink it (Gwen and Bridgette, Duncan and Geoff), and will Scott and Bowie sabotage Brody and Courtney respectively.
Most importantly, who will be eliminated and place 30th for the competition?
Chapter 21: New Beijing Part 2
Summary:
The second and third parts of the Beijing challenge take place with the duos set, some duos thrive, and some fall apart. A gamble to protect another player pays off, and another player is sent home in 30th place, in a confusing blindside that will leave viewers/readers blindsided.
Notes:
(See the end of the chapter for notes.)
Chapter Text
Street Food Site
The episode picks up immediately after the commercial break, with the challenge now started as everyone had to decide who was eating the food, and who was going to prep it. For some duos the decision was unexpected, "I'm eating the food, I need to show my team I am in it to win it eh!" Ezekiel cheered out, determined to show his team how strong he was.
Owen, who was partnered with Ezekiel, couldn't hide his disappointment, "I wonder if I can make a separate skewer for myself." Owen wondered, looking at the greaser with a smile.
Ezekiel shrugged his shoulders and said, "I don't think that's smart eh. But I can see what the vendor will say."
The duo of Heather and Katie next approached the challenge, "I am going to eat it!" Heather proudly declared. "Need to show the team we are both worth keeping."
"Thanks, Heather." Katie said, and for herself she was actually starting to warm up to the idea of working together with Heather, something she never thought.
The next duo was Geoff, and Duncan, "You eat, I am going to skewer it." Geoff declared. "I know you have a tough stomach dude."
"Damn right I do." Duncan said, as he also wanted to eat the food to impress Gwen. "Hey Geoff, can I just say I'm sorry."
Geoff who had begun skewering had let go of the first stick. "Damn it!" Geoff yelled out. "What was that, Duncan?"
Duncan noticed Geoff didn't hear him, but decided to repeat himself, "I'm just sorry. I assume you hold it against me that I voted you out the first 2 seasons." Duncan asked, as Geoff shook his head. "You're not mad?"
"No, why would I? There are so many things to be mad about in this game. I am just happy we are bros again." Geoff said, focusing back on his skewers. "Hopefully both our teams win, and Team Amazon loses." Geoff said as Duncan raised his eyebrows at that notion, since Gwen was on that team, something that Geoff quickly took note of, "Also Gwen stays safe for your sake."
"Exactly." Duncan said as he was glad Geoff picked up on his drift. "She is so amazing." Duncan said in awe.
"When are you going to go out with her then?" Geoff asked, "It's not like you have to worry about Courtney retaliating." Geoff said, before looking wide-eyed. "There's a word I never thought I would say. But dude, seriously just go out with her."
"It's just that I crumble around her, and you saw what happened the last time I asked a girl out on this show. It turned her into a monster, and that monster being Courtney." Duncan explained. "I don't want the same thing to happen with Gwen."
"Maybe it will, maybe it won't, you won't know until you try though dude." Geoff explained.
The next ones up were Tyler and Lindsay, "I eat, you prep, Tyler." Lindsay barked out. "Not that you can handle this."
"Oh, I am going to enjoy this." Tyler said with a chuckle as Harold and Alejandro walked up next.
"I'm eating this, but you aren't leaving my eyesight." Harold told Alejandro. "I know you would poison me in a heartbeat."
"Oh, come on, you're being ridiculous." Alejandro stated, as the camera shows Alejandro crossing his fingers behind his back. The next duos shown were Cody and Noah along with Trent and Sky.
Noah had a look of pure determination, as he wanted to prove to Sky, they could be a great couple together, "I eat, you prep." Noah demanded.
Sky at the same time decided she wanted to relax Trent as he still had a lot of nerves that he was going to be the next person eliminated from Team Style, "I am going to eat, you just prep Trent."
For both Cody and Trent, neither of them minded being the ones to skewer. Cody found Noah's whole display of confidence kind of funny, "Noah is in love." Cody told Trent.
Trent chuckled at Cody's statement, "It's funny that someone so miserable could feel love." Trent joked with his bandmate.
Noah however overheard both of them, and he wasn't amused. "Oh, both of you just shut up." Noah bitterly said. "I am not doing this for love and as if you two have any room to talk. One of you is chasing a girl who is out of your league, while the other one of you is in complete denial about who you actually like." Noah told both Cody and Trent.
For Trent, he instantly shut up, as he knew that Noah was implying that Jen was out of his league, however Cody misinterpreted Noah's insult. "Kitty is not out of my league, dude."
The last duos shown before the challenge was officially underway were Anne Maria and Mickey, along with Kitty and Topher. "I'm skewering, and you're eating this twerp." Anne Maria barked out. "No questions!"
"Fine whatever." Mickey sarcastically stated. "Sorry that the diva can't handle this."
Anne Maria was immediately offended by Mickey's statement, "Oh fuck off. You need to get tougher anyway."
Kitty and Topher flinched at the tough exchange, neither enjoying this at all, "Are you going to talk to her about this change in attitude?" Kitty asked.
"I've definitely considered it." Topher said, before looking at the challenge, and getting a bit queasy. "Oh god. Can I skewer it, and you eat it?" Topher asked.
"Of course, I assume you don't want to get food on your shirt." Kitty asked, already knowing the answer.
"Yep, back home my folks have always told me that appearances were the most important thing." Topher said, before he paused, "Even if I don't fully believe that."
"Well, it's on the inside that matters most, not the outside." Kitty told Topher.
"I agree." Topher said, as he began to smile, "Getting to know everyone here has been amazing. Mickey and Zoey are people I don't know if I ever would have gotten to know back home." Topher said, before his smile faltered. "But I also know that I need to make my family proud of how I behave." Topher said, as he went to skewer, leaving Kitty in a stunned state of silence.
Confessional- Kitty
"Topher is an absolute enigma of a person, I tell you. I assumed heading into this game, he was going to be this guy who is focused solely on his looks and nothing more." Kitty said before chuckling and continuing on. "But there is more to him than that. Which is insane. He's hiding something. But it's not my business to ask."
Challenge
As the challenge was now fully underway, Gwen opened one of the crates, and saw it was bats, something she personally liked, but instantly freaked out her partner Bridgette. "Sorry about that Bridgette. I know you have a bad history with bats after Season 1." Gwen told Bridgette.
"It's fine, gah!" Bridgette said before a bat attacked her face, "Get it off me!" Bridgette yelled out in fear as she began running around while Gwen had to try and get a wild bat off her partner's face.
Confessional- Gwen
"Bats are creatures, I have always found them strangely beautiful. I know I am weird for that one. But them attacking Bridgette was probably something I should have seen coming."
Back To Scene
Alejandro and Harold weren't having an easy time with this challenge either, as while Alejandro managed to quickly skewer the food, Harold was already gagging after only a couple of bites. Alejandro however wasn't amused. "Quit being such a baby and man up, what would Leshawna think about you acting like this." Alejandro told Harold, however before Alejandro could continue to taunt Harold he was met with a fist to the face from Harold and a black eye in return. "Asshole." Alejandro said as he hit the ground from Harold's punch,
Others were shown struggling, whether it be Tyler opening a box only for a snake to pop up and start choking him "Help me, Lindsay!" Tyler weakly called out.
"Maybe you two should be in a popularity club together." Lindsay sarcastically said, before noticing "Tyler you look blue."
Anne Maria was shown trying to stab one of the containers for the worms, however the worms had managed to drag her into the box covering her in junk. "My body!" Anne Maria cried out.
"Oh, that's too funny." Mickey said, until he saw Anne Maria's harsh glare. "What are you doing, gah!" Mickey asked, before he got dragged into the same box and ended up screaming bloody murder at what he was covered in.
Geoff tried for the third time this challenge to get a skewer to work only for this one to drop into the fryer. "Damn it not again."
Duncan however didn't mind how the challenge was going, "Dude it's fine, just relax."
"Where is this nice side coming from, have you gone soft Duncan?" Geoff asked.
"I am not soft. I just have decided that I am not going to be a dick to someone unless they absolutely deserve it." Duncan explained.
One of those people who Duncan wouldn't mind being a dick to, was Scott who had decided he still needed to throw the challenge to protect Courtney. Even if Bowie did sabotage Courtney and made her look bad, Scott would just ask the team to vote him out over her regardless, "Ugh I can't get these bugs at all."
Scott's partner in this was Brody, who was completely unaware that his partner was sabotaging him and was just enjoying the challenge, "Aw dude you got this." Brody told Scott, "You're probably a natural at this stuff. Brody's positive words of affirmation had thrown Scott off, and he was shown looking unsure.
Confessional- Scott
"There's like a miniature part of me that feels bad that I am sabotaging Brody. The dude is a nice guy, and it isn't exactly fair to him that he got caught up in this." Scott said as he looked down at the ground. "But I have to protect Courtney at all costs."
Back To Scene
The scene continued on as Ezekiel and Owen were getting chased by bats, "This is terrifying!" Owen yelled out.
"This wasn't part of the challenge eh!" Ezekiel said, as he was also freaked out.
One duo however hadn't even started the challenge, and that was Millie and Damien, as both looked queasy at the challenge as a whole. "I am not sure I can do the eating part." Millie weakly said.
"Oh, come on Millie, it's just worms." Damien said, as a way to also psyche himself out, however the mention of worms made Millie run off screen and puke. "I can't even say the word worms?" Damien asked and was met with Millie puking again.
Confessional- Millie
"Growing up in my small town, I was never well liked, and I was dared by this girl to eat a worm in elementary school and when I did, I puked for a week straight. I have been scared of them ever since." Millie said before she puked again. "What sucks is that Damien, no matter what, refused to eat the bugs. At times Damien sucks as an ally."
Challenge Site
Topher is shown trying to get the scorpions out with the skewer, "Come on you little creatures, get on the stick." Topher said, as he was still failing.
"Come on Topher, maybe be careful." Kitty suggested.
"Caution is getting me nowhere, maybe I need to be a little dangerous for once in my life." Topher said as he tried to use only his hands only for the vendor to slap his hand away, "Oh come on ma'am I got this, don't worry, AAHH!" Topher said until his hand got bitten by at least a dozen scorpions, "Ow!" Topher yelled out as he began flailing scorpions around.
One of these scorpions had landed right on Julia's face. "Aah! Jo, get this bug off of me! Get it off me!" Julia asked.
"Stand back." Jo said as she started punching Julia in the face to get it off, and also to get some revenge on Julia for being the vote that sent Brick home back in the Amazon. "This is so much fun!" Jo said as she continued to punch Julia in the face.
"Not like this bitch!" Julia said as Jo kept on punching her face.
For Cody and Noah, Cody had managed to get all of the animals except for the scorpions and bats, however his progress was destroyed when the scorpion he was trying to get destroyed the stick, "No, come on!" Cody cried out before noticing Noah laughing. "What are you all smiling about? Is it Sky?" Cody asked.
Noah kept smiling and decided that he was going to let Cody know how he saw things, "No not Sky. I just realized you are just as pathetic as your boyfriend is." Noah told Cody, as Cody stopped dead in his tracks.
Cody was stunned silent for a quick second, there was no way Noah could have known about himself and Mickey kissing in Dubai, yet Cody knew Noah was implying Mickey. However, Cody decided to play dumb. "I don't have a boyfriend. Since last time I checked Kitty is not a guy."
"I wasn't talking about Kitty, I am talking about Mickey, you know the guy who you spend so much time with until I guess today." Noah said. "I never imagined you as the type to go for someone even smaller than you."
"I am dating Kitty you asshole." Cody bitterly said, trying to make it clear to Noah he didn't want to talk about Mickey at all. "Besides, Mickey and I are friends, or at least were." Cody said
"Fascinating, who are you trying to convince? Me or yourself? We both know you can't hold a grudge long and will probably be talking with Mickey within the next week." Noah told Cody who was now silent. "Just get skewering, but deep down, you and I both know I am right."
"Whatever." Cody bitterly said as he went to get another skewer. "I am straight…. Right?" Cody asked himself with no one hearing him, as he grabbed his second skewer for the challenge.
Confessional- Tyler
"Like I said earlier, today I am going to be a bad cop, so skewering something for Lindsay today when she is taunting me. Makes the challenge easier. After today though I will be better."
Back To Scene
The aftermath of Topher's scorpion incident was shown as he now had a huge goofy grin on his face, and in general seemed out of it. "Are you okay?" Kitty asked Topher. "You don't look so good."
Topher said in a goofy tone, "Mother and father will never know my true happiness. I'm a goofy goober!" Topher said as he began mimicking the SpongeBob song of the same name.
"He will heal, just give it time, here's hoping he can focus." Kitty said before looking around, "Where is he?"
Back over with Jo and Julia, Jo was feigning concern for her partner, "How are you feeling?" Jo asked.
Julia was not pleased, her nose was broken, she had scratch marks all over her face, and a scorpion in her hair. "I can't feel my face." Julia weakly said. "You are in a world of hurt when this challenge is done Jo."
"Toughen up barbie doll." Jo said and then shoved the skewered food down Julia's throat and forced her to chew it. "Done we're in first place." Jo called out as she and Julia both earned 15 points for Team Style.
"Done!" Duncan announced a few seconds later showing his mouth was empty.
"Great to see competitors. Oh, and another team is done!" Blaineley said turning to show Trent and Sky. "3rd place for you guys!"
Millie and Damien however had still not even started the challenge however, as neither wanted to do it. "Millie, you have to eat this, or we'll lose the challenge for the team. I will just skewer up the worms-" Damien began to say as Millie ran off screen again to puke.
Tyler, who had taken a break since Lindsay took a bathroom break, walked up to Damien. "Dude, what the hell is wrong with you?" Tyler asked Damien. "What type of teammate tells a teammate to pretty much just suck it up, when she is clearly uncomfortable."
"You really want to play this game, Tyler?" Damien asked, turning around to face Tyler, the person at one point he thought was his ally, and who was now the last person Damien wanted to see. "What type of ex-boyfriend gives his ex-girlfriend disgusting street food and not just take it like a man?" Damien asked Tyler.
"I at least have a girlfriend. All you focus on is the game, numbers, and scheming. You're no better than people like Heather." Tyler coldly told Damien.
At that point, Tyler comparing Damien to Heather was the straw that broke the camel's back, "How dare you. You know what Tyler?"
"What?!" Tyler yelled out.
"I am done with you Tyler." Damien yelled back. "I am done working with you, and you are no gentleman like you claim you are, I can't believe I ever aligned with someone as stupid as you." Damien told Tyler.
"Well, I am done too, you don't know how to talk to people at all, and if we lose tonight, I guarantee you will be going home!" Tyler yelled out as he stormed off.
"I can say the same to you, jerk!" Damien yelled back, before noticing Millie returned. "What?!"
Millie was beside herself at this point, "I am gone for maybe 2 minutes, and now you're yelling." Millie asked. "What the heck happened with you and Tyler just now."
"We're done working with him, once that pain in the ass Brody is gone, I want Tyler gone." Damien demanded. "I don't care. Tyler is a total player, and a scumbag. Now I am gonna skewer this food." Damien said sternly before he finally dropped his anger, noticing Millie looking queasy. "Sorry Millie. I didn't mean to take my anger out on you."
"It's…. It's fine." Millie quietly said, as Damien went to skewer.
Confessional- Millie
"I know what I have to do the next time Team Victory loses." Millie sadly said looking down. "I hope he understands."
Back To Scene
"4th" Harold and Alejandro are shown glaring at each other with Blaineley telling the placements, "5th." Bridgette and Gwen are shown high fiving each other, even as Bridgette had scratches on her face. At this point Team Style had amassed 82 points for the first challenge while Team Victory had only 37, and Team Amazon had only 11 since Gwen was the only one on the board.
Back over at the fryer, Cody and Owen had both managed to get their complete skewer, Cody however was still bugged about Noah's implications of him and Mickey. But at first he wanted to just establish some comradery with Owen. "Hey Owen, just so you know, I know that Noah is crushing on Sky."
"It's adorable Cody." Owen gushed, before his face fell, "But I don't want to lose my little buddy."
"I wouldn't worry about that Owen." Cody stated, before now wanting to approach the subject he actually wanted to talk about. "Owen, do you know why people think I am dating Mickey?" Cody asked. "I am obviously with Kitty."
Owen was thrown off by Cody's question but decided it was best to not cause any trouble, "I have no idea buddy."
Confessional- Owen
"I know why people may think that about Cody, but out of respect to him, I am not going to say anything." Owen stated. "That's for him to figure out, as he is an adult like the rest of us."
Back To Scene
Noah was then shown eating his food, but to say he was regretting his decision was an understatement. "Hot, ow! Hot!" Noah yelled out.
"Noah, I know it's a race but stop being gross." Sky yelled out as she walked up to him,
While this was going on, Topher was still wandering around aimlessly, "I am a fun inferno." Topher said, still feeling the effects of the scorpions, which made Kitty, Cody, Owen, Ezekiel and Sky cringed at how he was. But no one could be prepared for Noah accidentally spitting some of the grease in Topher's face and shirt.
"Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" Noah said with his mouth still full of food, but this in turn only added more grease to Topher's shirt.
"Ahh it burns, I have been hit by the sun!" Topher said, before running off screen to puke.
"That was my bucket." Millie weakly said off screen.
"Dude you are so bad at this." Kitty told Noah, as Noah held his head in shame. "I know Topher won't hold a grudge, but maybe apologize to him when he fully comes too." Kitty said as Topher soon came on screen.
"Sorry Topher." Noah said, looking down in shame, even if he and Topher had never interacted.
"It's okay Mr. Strauss." Topher said, before passing out on the ground.
Noah was still feeling down, and noticed Sky looking at him with a disapproving look, "Why did you eat the food if you knew it was hot?" Sky asked, unaware that Noah was doing this to impress her.
"I don't know. I really don't." Noah said, as he finished his food.
Another montage was shown of teams finishing, "6th!" Cody and Noah were shown with Noah holding his stomach still feeling the effects of the food. "7th!" Heather and Katie were next shown, as both high fived each other, neither was thrilled about how they did challenge wise, but both were fine with the finish. "8th!", lastly Courtney and Bowie were shown with Courtney not feeling well.
"You were throwing the challenge, weren't you?" Courtney asked Bowie.
"I was. I want to see the fighter side when you come out." Bowie said as he crossed his arms defiantly, "Did it come out?"
"It did and thank you." Courtney said, "It's helped me get out of this funk." Courtney told Bowie, as Bowie managed to get Courtney out of her funk she had been in since Duncan broke up.
"9th!" Ezekiel and Owen were shown next cheering.
"I am never coming back for Beijing street food, eh." Ezekiel said before his stomach rumbled, "Make way!"
"10th place, Jen and Zoey!" Jen and Zoey were then shown smiling even as Zoey didn't feel great stomach wise.
"Thanks Jen." Zoey told Jen, "Also if you want to work together and talk more in the future I would love that."
Jen was immediately filled with joy as Zoey was someone she was drawn too and wanted to work with, "I would love that so much, let's rock this next challenge."
"11th!" The 11th place duo was Anne Maria, and a sick looking Mickey.
"I can't feel my stomach at all." Mickey weakly said, as he fell over. "Ow!"
"Get up." Anne Maria said as she kicked Mickey to get him to stand up. "Stand up!"
Lindsay was shown eating the food, and threw the skewer at Tyler's face, as it hit him in the head, before Tyler could say anything, she opened her mouth and showed Tyler the disgusting concoction he made, "Your gross cooking didn't slow me down!" Lindsay boasted.
"Your breath smells like a cockroach." Tyler said, holding his nose.
"How dare you, pig!" Lindsay yelled out crying as she went up to Blaineley to show she was done.
"I'm sorry Lindsay." Tyler yelled back running up to her, "Sorry for being a jerk. Damien just-" Tyler said until Lindsay interrupted him.
"No, don't blame him. Go talk to someone who might listen." Lindsay said as her and Tyler were confirmed to finish in 12th.
Meanwhile with both of them done, Duncan and Gwen noticed a box with a snake that had made a heart shape. "Aw pasty, maybe that's a sign-" Duncan said before catching himself, "For our partners." Duncan said, unfortunately the snake leapt out of the box and began attacking Duncan as Gwen had to pull it off of him.
Scott at this point was still trying to throw the challenge as much as he could, which Brody didn't notice, "Aw sick dude, you are doing amazing. Just bam that scorpion in the face."
"I have to do this." Scott told himself, as Brody overheard him.
"You have to do it, and you can. I know you can!" Brody said cheering, unaware that Scott was actually throwing the challenge.
"13th place" Blaineley called out, as the camera showed a delirious Topher with scorpion bites, and his pants pulled down swaying back and forth.
"I feel like a hot summer day." Topher weakly said, as he collapsed again on the ground.
Kitty then looked at the camera awkwardly, "At least he won't remember this."
The last two duos were shown struggling or in Scott's case throwing a challenge, as Millie walked up to Damien, with a determined glare on her face "I am eating this but you are covering my ears and eyes." Millie demanded, as Damien nodded his head. "Okay let's just get this over with." Millie said as she quickly ate the food. "Done!"
"Millie and Damien get 14th, which means Scott and Brody get stuck with 15th place."
"Aw man dude, that sucks." Brody said, as he put a hand on Scott's shoulders. "You did your best dude."
Before Scott could deal with a nagging sense of guilt, Blaineley continued on hosting, so including the points from the first challenge, here is where we stand, Team Style has a commanding lead over the other two with 121 points, Team Amazon is in second with 70, while Team Victory is in last with 64 points." Blaineley announced. Team Style were thrilled, while most people on Team Amazon and Team Style were nervous. "Anyways, we now move on to the second part and the duos are still the same."
Mickey, who was still feeling the effects of the street food, couldn't keep it down anymore, as being stuck with Anne Maria any longer was going to drive him insane, so he ended up puking on the ground, "I hate this!" Mickey cried out.
"Ew twerp, not on the shoes." Anne Maria said grossed out.
"The person pulling the rickshaw was determined by random draw, and the destination is from here to the Great Wall of China, point system still stands. Here are the people pulling the rickshaws, Owen, Gwen, Heather, Geoff, Tyler, Sky, Alejandro, Courtney, Cody, Zoey, Scott, Jo, Mickey, Kitty, and Millie." Blaineley called out, for some they were eager such as Tyler and Alejandro, while people like Mickey and Cody had dread since they weren't physically strong.
Confessional- Tyler
"I at least get to have more fun with Lindsay." Tyler said before his face widened. "Not like that. I just really need to get some anger out on Lindsay after what Damien did." Tyler said again, before his face once again looked shocked, "No not like that either. I mean I need to get some anger, and there is no way I can phrase this." Tyler said, as he looked guilty. "Look, Damien pissed me off, so I need to let some steam out. I won't hurt Lindsay though. I promise."
Confessional- Kitty
"Thank you universe, that I am pulling the rickshaw and not Topher." Kitty said. "I know that sounds mean, but Topher still isn't there. On the way to the rickshaw he said he has a problem with love. A guy like that having trouble keeping relationships?" Kitty rhetorically asked before chuckling, "Yeah right."
Confessional- Topher
"Baba booty!" Topher said, chuckling, before he fell down to the ground.
Confessional- Mickey
"This challenge no matter what was going to suck. But at least I don't run the risk of Anne Maria running over every rock." Mickey said smiling. That smile however quickly faltered. "Unfortunately, I have to carry her, and she has a fair amount of junk in the trunk."
Race To Great Wall Of China
"Go!" Blaineley called out for the race to start.
Almost immediately Alejandro took off to an early lead, he didn't have to eat in the last challenge, Harold was one of the lightest contestants in the game. "You are so skinny in this game, I could pull you in my sleep."
However in a rare act of clumsiness, and unintentional completely on Alejandro's side, Alejandro slipped on a banana peel. Which sent Harold flying and landed at the great wall of China, but not without injury. "My ankle!" Harold cried out.
Confessional- Alejandro
"Contrary to what the viewers may think, I didn't do that on purpose. Stupid banana peel. Now I have to look for him, great."
Back To Scene
At another part of the rickshaw race was Geoff and Duncan, still talking about Gwen, or at least Geoff was. "Why not make things official with Gwen, you guys are made for each other."
"Dude I told you, I don't want this competition to turn her into a monster like it did Courtney." Duncan explained as he was riding the rickshaw. "That and getting together with someone in this game, puts a huge target on their backs."
Geoff was now more confused, "What are you talking about?"
"Well, when Courtney and I got together within a day we were separated-" Duncan began to say until Geoff interrupted him.
"You guys would have been together had Harold not rigged Courtney out." Geoff told Duncan, as Geoff remembered that night, as one of the only times he saw Duncan cry as he was distraught as could be the night Courtney was eliminated. "What other examples do you have?"
"Well let's see half the reason why you, Bridgette, and DJ kept Courtney safe after the fear challenge, was due to Tyler and Lindsay getting together." Duncan explained.
"The other half was the suspicion that Tyler had an alliance with Sadie and Harold." Geoff said, trying to diffuse the Lindsay and Tyler connection for Tyler's season 1 elimination. "Which they did."
"Okay, what about you and Bridgette, or Trent last season, heck Gwen got voted out last season due to the whole Trent situation." Duncan explained, with that Geoff was left silent.
Geoff wasn't silent for long however, "Well I am pretty sure you both want it so you should just go for it." Unfortunately, Geoff wasn't paying attention and tripped and caused the wheel to fall off his rickshaw.
"Ow! Fuck!" Duncan yelled out in pain, and soon saw the wheel, but it was too late as Gwen ran right over it.
"What did we hit Gwen?" Bridgette asked from her rickshaw, as Gwen came to a stop.
"Act normal, Duncan, you got this." Duncan told himself, as he walked up to Gwen, "Hey pasty. You accidentally destroyed our wheel."
"Sorry." Gwen said, before looking around, "Does anyone have any ideas?"
"I have one, but it will be painful for someone here." Geoff said, as he looked over to Duncan.
Great Wall Entrance
Jo and Julia, as both were very strong, had taken the lead for the challenge, "Where is that blonde bimbo?" Julia asked as they climbed the stairs to the wall. "Maybe we should go left?"
"Hell no, you are a proven liar, so we should do the opposite of what you say." Jo yelled at Julia.
"Well fine, maybe I should let you live." Julia accused. "Maybe that will make everyone happy."
"You are a sick, twisted, spoiled little bitch." Jo snapped back. "We are going right!"
"You don't tell me what to do-" Julia began to say, until Jo picked Julia off her feet onto her shoulders and went right instead of left.
Jo was making great pace, but she noticed that a duo was still in front of them, this duo being Harold and Alejandro, "See you later Al the asshole!" Jo called out, taunting Alejandro.
"She is so dead." Alejandro told himself, "Come on chicken legs, let's catch up with them."
"I have a sprained ankle Alejandro, no thanks to you, WHOA!" Harold told Alejandro until Alejandro began carrying Harold over his back.
"I want that first place finish, so badly!" Alejandro yelled out as he was carrying Harold, "I am not losing this damn challenge."
Other End of The Great Wall
At the other end of the wall, was Trent and Sky, along with Bowie and Courtney, since Courtney's competitive spirit was re-emerging, she made quick work of the course, as did Sky. However both duos were shown running the wrong way, "We might need to turn around, as we have been running for a while, and there is no sign of Blaineley." Courtney said, looking around.
Trent finally was starting to feel better about his position in the game, "Yeah at this point we need to do a 180 turn." Trent proudly said before turning to Bowie, "Since someone gave all of us bad directions."
"What? Our team already had a commanding lead, and I thought it was left." Bowie defended himself as both duos turned around.
Race Course
Back on the racecourse, Tyler was pulling the rickshaw but was deliberately going over as many bumps as he could. "Having fun, babe?" Tyler asked.
"Stop… going… over every bump!" Lindsay said getting sicker. "Pull over!" Lindsay yelled out as Tyler obliged.
Confessional- Tyler
Tyler was shown on the course smiling, "This is my last act of revenge and acting like a jerk. Besides, Lindsay should see that me acting this way means, I don't care about popularity anymore." Tyler stated until his face fell, "I do feel bad though."
Lindsay was shown in the background, hunched over and puked onto the ground. "I hate you." Lindsay yelled.
"She'll come around. I hope so." Tyler said, as he started feeling guilty about his actions.
Back To Scene
Back on the course, Geoff and Gwen were pulling their rickshaws, "Is this too fast Duncan?" Gwen asked, looking back at her crush.
Duncan was shown leaning over on Gwen's rickshaw holding his own up using only his hands, "Nope, it's good." Duncan tried to confidently say. "Just keep going!"
Bridgette looked on in concern, at Duncan's situation, "Doesn't that hurt?" Bridgette asked, as Duncan shook his head no. "Do you at least want us to take you to the medic?"
"Nope, I'll be fine. No pain no game like they say right." Duncan said trying to diffuse the situation and not think about the pain, "Besides, Gwen is really pretty." Duncan said until his eyes widened. "I said that out loud, didn't I?"
"Yep, you did." Bridgette said, finding Duncan to be kind of pathetic and adorable with his love for Gwen.
"I feel more awkward than people like Harold or Cody, this is embarrassing." Duncan said, unaware that Gwen actually didn't mind the whole ordeal.
Finish Line
At the finish line was Chef and Blaineley, "Here they come." Chef announced.
"That's right and first place goes to, Jo and Julia. Hope this doesn't affect how you feel about each other." Blaineley sarcastically said,
"Woo hoo! Aaahhhh!" Julia said until Jo threw her overboard.
"Yes alright!" Jo cheered, as she looked back and saw Alejandro, "Take that Alejandro, you ass!"
"Pshh, whatever. You're twisted ankle cost us first place Harold." Alejandro said as he and Harold reached the finish line.
"I would have never gotten a twisted ankle if someone didn't send me flying into the wall." Harold said, bitterly "Karma will get you one day Al." Harold said walking off.
"Right 2nd place for them, and it looks like we have some other duos finishing." Chef stated awkwardly.
"3rd Place! 4th Place, 5th Place!" Blaineley called out as Sky and Trent finish 3rd with giving each other high fives, Courtney and Bowie finished 4th as both glared at each other, and Heather and Katie ended up in 5th place.
The next duo that was getting close to finishing was Zoey and Jen, "You know I've been thinking of asking a guy out." Jen said running with Zoey.
"Same here." Zoey said, as Jen raised her eyebrows and Zoey noticed, "What, what's wrong?"
"Well, everyone knows you have eyes for Topher, and he's already with Anne Maria." Jen began to explain, until Zoey spoke up.
"No, Kitty suggested that I ask out Mickey." Zoey explained. "Apparently he also likes me back."
Jen was completely thrown off by Zoey's statement, as in addition to her having a great fashion sense, Jen could usually tell whenever a guy was straight , gay, bi, or anything else. You name it, Jen could figure out a guy's dating preference, the only person she had trouble with was her fashion blog partner Tom, but even then she wasn't shocked that he was straight but just very feminine. "He does, Mickey doesn't give off those vibes that he is into girls." Jen stated. "If you know what I mean."
"You don't think Mickey is gay, do you?" Zoey asked before realizing how that came across, "Not that there's anything wrong with that."
"Zoey, you should ask him. He probably trusts you enough to tell him." Jen explained back to Zoey. "He trusts you right?"
"He trusts me, but he has also been acting kind of weird lately." Zoey explained, as she remembered how weird Mickey was acting about Cody. "I think it has something to do with Cody."
"Not shocking, not at all." Jen said as her and Zoey crossed the finish line.
"6th place!" Jen and Zoey high fived for their high placement, "Looks like 7th place is here as well." Millie and Damien finished next.
However, Millie was absolutely exhausted and out of breath, "I gave it everything I have." Millie said before she passed out on the floor.
"Medical!" Blaineley called out.
Nearby, Kitty was pulling Topher by the hand to make sure he didn't get lost as he was still delirious, or at least Kitty thought so, "Today's a carnival ride, I never got to experience as a kid." Topher said until he covered his mouth. "Did I just say that outloud? Sorry Kit-" Topher began to say freaked out, until Kitty interrupted him,
"Yeah. That's great Topher, we have a race to finish." Kitty told Topher dismissing what he was saying as nonsense.
Another montage was shown of finishers, "8th place for Kitty and Topher, 9th place for Duncan and Geoff." Duncan and Geoff cheered even with Duncan's swollen hand. "10th is for Bridgette and Gwen, and 11th is for Owen and Ezekiel."
End of Challenge
"Our final teams are making a mad dash to the great wall of China." Blaineley narrated as Cody and Noah, Anne Maria and Mickey, and Tyler and Lindsay were shown getting out of their rickshaws and climbing the stairs of the great wall.
Lindsay however took another moment to puke, "I hate this, Tyler." Lindsay whined, "I hate you."
A little farther up, Cody looked behind as he and Noah were running, and saw that Mickey didn't look good, so he decided to try and encourage his friend, "Good luck Mickey!"
"He is so confusing." Mickey told himself, until he saw Anne Maria running off without him, "Wait up!"
"12th place." Blaineley announced for Cody and Noah as they finished.
Noah decided to once again poke at Cody and his 'friendship' with Mickey. "You know for someone who claimed to not even care about him and said they were friends, its nauseating that you also give Mickey encouragement." Noan told Cody.
"It meant nothing, He and I are just friends." Cody stuttered out. "Don't you have enough drama on your own team to worry about."
As the scene flashed over a little way away, Mickey had luckily caught up with Anne Maria, and both were nearing the finish. "You know you really should be thanking me." Mickey told Anne Maria.
This notion made Anne Maria stop dead in her tracks, "Why you're absolutely useless for the challenge today." Anne Maria said. "You're a human being, but I did the heavy lifting today."
"Sure, you did." Mickey sarcastically stated before he decided to actively lie to Anne Maria, "No you should be thanking me, I am going to ask Zoey out, so that way you don't have to worry about Zoey stealing Topher from you or whatever."
"Thanks, I guess," Anne Maria said, as her and Mickey finished in 13th for the challenge.
Confessional- Anne Maria
"I don't believe him for a second. But if this means I don't have to worry about Zoey wanting Topher. I'm fine with that,"
Back To Scene
"14th place goes to Lindsay and Tyler." Blaineley announced as Lindsay puked again.
"I hate you, Tyler." Lindsay said again, as this was the worst she ever felt in the competition.
"You'll love me again from here on out." Tyler said until Lindsay kicked his manhood. "Mommy!" Tyler weakly said.
It wouldn't be until 20 minutes later for Brody and Scott to show up, "What happened to guys?" Courtney asked, mainly asking Scott.
"Scott and I got hopelessly lost." Brody explained, Scott almost explained that he purposely sabotaged Brody, but Brody continued on, "We lost as a team, and I take full response for today's loss." Brody said with his head down. "I should have done better."
Challenge Results
Blaineley had gathered everyone around, as she was ready to announce the challenge results, "Attention everyone, here is the results of today's challenge, in first place with a demanding 229 points. Team Style!" Blaineley announced as everyone on Team Style cheered, "Shoutout to Julia and Jo as you both finished 1st as a duo and earned your team 60 of the points alone." Jo and Julia confidently glared at Blaineley before outright glaring at each other.
"Now it's time for second place, and third place. It was a total of 149 points to 130 points, and second place goes too….. Team Amazon!"
Many people on Team Amazon were relieved to be safe for another day, but most of all was Scott. "Thank god I am still safe." Scott said as he looked up at the sky.
"Team Victory, the 9 of you will decide who will be the last 8 on this team. But I do have good news for one of you."
"Good news, yay!" Lindsay cheered out, as she had finally recovered from feeling sick. "Who gets the good news?"
"That would be Harold. He earned the most points for your team today." Blaineley said as Harold received a round of applause and cheers. "You guys have an hour and a half to decide who is going home. I will see you at elimination."
Confessional- Bridgette
"Going to elimination just sucks, no matter what way you look at it." Bridgette than sighed. "The worst thing is that I don't even know who to send out. I am still really close to Geoff and by extension Brody. I get along well with Lindsay and Tyler even if they are fighting, Harold and Ezekiel get along with me, and both Millie and Damien want to work with me. What do I do?"
Confessional- Geoff
"Brody looked absolutely devastated when he found out that he lost the challenge. I feel bad for my best friend." Geoff said before looking up. "I have to keep him here no matter what."
Great Wall of China Entrance
The elimination was in an hour, and Bridgette, Geoff, and Brody were shown together, as Geoff decided to lead the conversation. "I think tonight we should get rid of Millie."
Brody however wasn't thrilled about the idea, as he still thought that Damien was targeting him "I don't know dudes, shouldn't we target Damien since we all know he is going after us?" Brody asked.
"We targeted him last time and he stayed." Geoff explained "Besides, after Tyler and Damien's little fight, there's no way those guys work together." Geoff said. "Of everyone on the team Millie is the weakest. Brody I wouldn't make this move, if I knew you were in danger."
Bridgette, who was quiet and was still pondering what to do, decided at the very least to end the conversation, "Look, Brody and I will talk to Harold and Ezekiel and see where they stand." Bridgette suggested, "Is everyone okay with that?"
Geoff nodded, as Brody spoke up "I agree, but Bridgette maybe we should do it separately so as to not raise suspicions dudes." Brody explained as the screen went static.
Confessional- Bridgette
"In person I agreed with Geoff to get rid of Millie, but whether that's getting rid of Damien, Tyler, I don't know yet." Bridgette then sighed. "I really don't know what to do."
Confessional- Brody
"Maybe I should just vote out Damien regardless of what Geoff thinks." Brody then sighed in disappointment. "But if I betray Geoff, I know he will forgive me, but can I forgive myself?" Brody then looked at the camera, "I don't know what to do dudes. When I talk to Harold and Ezekiel that's when I'll make up my mind."
Vendor Site
At the vendor place, Millie and Lindsay were shown looking at the sunset, both admiring the view, but annoyed that another teammate would be sent home, but Millie had an idea for who to target. Lindsay however was ranting about Tyler and his actions at the challenge, "Tyler crossed the line for the last time today! Even looking at him makes me sick." Lindsay told Millie. "The guy I thought was this kind and caring soul. He is a monster." Lindsay continued on.
However, Millie said something that stunned Lindsay, and was the last thing she wanted to hear "I know you are going to hate this, but I think we should keep Tyler and-" Millie began to say until Lindsay interrupted her.
"There is no way I can keep Tyler after what he did to me today." Lindsay explained. "I'm still feeling the effects of the street food."
"Look I know you're mad at Tyler and so am I." Millie said offering sympathy before refocusing on the game, "But I have an idea for who is making Tyler act this way." Millie said.
Lindsay was still angry, but now she was intrigued of what Millie was alluding to, "You do?" Lindsay asked.
"Yeah, I do. It's Damien." Millie said.
Confessional- Millie
"I don't actually know if Damien is causing Tyler to act this way." Millie then sighed, "But this game has just destroyed Damien mentally. It was one thing when Damien plotted how to keep me over DJ but now, he is willing to betray our allies and not talk things out." Millie was now in near tears talking about her once closest ally. "Maybe when Damien leaves, Tyler and Lindsay will get back together, I've seen them together when they were in love, and they belong together."
Back To Scene
"Damien has been dragging this whole team down, with his constant scheming and if we get rid of Brody like Damien wants us too, then he is going to get rid of Tyler." Millie explained.
"What's so bad about that?" Lindsay asked. "You know that I also want Tyler out." Lindsay explained back.
"Well then what's stopping Damien from immediately trying to take us out next?" Millie explained as Lindsay was now silent.
Lindsay however decided that she still wanted Tyler out, "Tyler made me puke, it was gross, and I never want to experience that ever again. It was worse than the prison day last season." Lindsay explained.
"If Tyler steps out of line again, he is gone. But l need to see how Tyler is without Damien here." Millie said. "I just feel like this is the best for both of us." Millie explained, before she decided to try and seal the deal, "That and deep down, I think you still like him."
Lindsay was outwardly offended by what Millie was implying, but internally her feelings for Tyler were complicated, something that Lindsay would never admit to Millie. At least not yet. "I don't, and the only reason why I am voting out Danny is because we have a Final 2 deal as you call it." Lindsay explained to Millie.
The camera panned out however and revealed that Harold had overheard Millie and Lindsay's whole conversation as he had a look of shock on his face, "This information changes everything." Harold told himself.
Race Course
On the racecourse for the second challenge, Tyler was running back and forth between two trees and was caught off guard by Millie walking up to him and tripped and fell, "Ow!" Tyler yelled out as he was now tripped in front of Millie. "What do you want, Millie?"
Millie flinched at Tyler's clumsiness, but knew with less than an hour to go, she had to be all business, "I am sure I don't need to convince you of this, but Lindsay and I talked, and I got her to vote out Damien with me." Millie explained. "I assume you are on board."
"Of course, I am, after the crap he said to me today, I want him gone. He is a jerk with a capital G. Glad you see things my way." Tyler boasted.
"That's the other thing, I've been meaning to do this for a while now." Millie said as she then smacked Tyler in the face, "That's what you get for causing so much drama and treating Lindsay like crap today."
Tyler was at first in pain and shock that Millie would smack him in the face, but it was Millie's words that hurt more than anything. "I didn't mean to hurt her feelings, I just wanted to take out some frustrations about how my game has gone." Tyler explained.
Millie was shocked at what she was hearing, "Then that makes you an awful ex boyfriend, or boyfriend. I assume you and Lindsay are broken up."
"We are, I mean I want to get back together with Lindsay, you know that." Tyler said.
"I know, but it took a lot of convincing of Lindsay to keep you." Millie explained, "You have to make it up to her."
Finish Line
Blaineley's voice, was heard off screen, "We have 20 minutes before the elimination starts."
The camera then showed Harold who was running, and hobbling trying to find Ezekiel who was sitting along the fence of the great wall of China. "I'm so glad I found you." Harold said.
"You okay eh. You look out of breath." Ezekiel noticed. "What's going on?"
"I was walking around trying to make my ankle feel better when I overheard Millie and Lindsay talking over at the first challenge site." Harold explained.
"What about it, eh? Those two are always talking." Ezekiel said, "Was there more to it?" Ezekiel asked.
"You know how on the plane ride here, I explained that I saw the game as Lindsay, Millie, Tyler, and Damien working together, we need to throw that junk out the window."
"Come again, eh?" Ezekiel said in disbelief.
"Yep, Millie told Lindsay that they need to get rid of Damien." Harold explained.
Ezekiel was in utter shock, "Hold up, Millie wants Damien out? That doesn't even make sense eh. Did you hear why?"
"She's convinced that the moment Brody and Tyler go back-to-back that Damien would send her and Lindsay home. Which given Tyler and Damien's fight, could easily happen." Harold further explained.
"So, we keep Tyler and Damien at odds eh." Ezekiel suggested.
"Agreed but we are only 2 of 9 voters, Millie and Lindsay are with Tyler and voting Damien out, and I feel like that Geoff, Brody, and Bridgette are voting out Damien too, so it feels there is nothing we can do." Harold said, "Heck even if Geoff and his crew aim for Millie, the best we do is cause a three-way tie if we vote with Damien." Harold explained the math to Ezekiel.
"What do we do?" Ezekiel said, before him and Harold saw someone offscreen approaching them, "What do you want eh?"
Confessional- Ezekiel
"Harold was talking about all these numbers, and all of a sudden the person we least expected to approach us and changed everything again."
Blaineley's voice was heard off screen, "All members of Team Victory report to the elimination ceremony right away."
"I have to go, bye eh." Ezekiel said as he ran off screen.
Elimination Ceremony
Everyone on Team Victory was sitting in a pair of concession stands, "Time to vote for another person to leave your team today, we have a confessional voting booth ready to go." Blaineley explained.
Confessional- Geoff
"Millie, you are awesome, but I have to protect Brody in this game, so you have to go."
Confessional- Millie
"This is by far the hardest vote I have done in this game, but I am voting for Damien to leave." Millie then sighed in sadness. "I just hope he forgives me."
Confessional- Damien
"I haven't missed yet on who leaves, and I won't today. So, Brody, it's time to go. Tyler's next. Nothing personal."
Confessional- Harold
"After crunching all the numbers, time and time again. I assume Ezekiel is doing the same thing as me tonight, so tonight my vote is for…"
Back To Scene
Blaineley had a plate of 8 marshmallows "The players with zero votes are, Bridgette, Lindsay, Harold, Ezekiel, Geoff, and I imagine much to his shock, Tyler."
"Good luck dude." Geoff told Brody.
"Chef care to explain why these three are down here?"
"Gladly, Brody, you placed last in both challenges, Damien you were not a supportive teammate, and Millie you are weak physically and were useless in the eating challenge."
"Enough chatter, time to find out who's dream ends here in China." Blaineley announced, "Safe with 2 votes, Millie."
"Thank you." Millie said as she watched her marshmallow.
"This rivalry comes to an end tonight, the final vote was 4 to 3, the final marshmallow goes too…" Blaineley began, as Geoff now could only hope now that Brody was safe, Millie was hoping her strike against Damien landed, and for Damien and Brody, they could only hope that they were safe,
….
…..
…
….
….. Damien, you are safe."
The mood was somber on the team, for Geoff he was confused, and for Millie she was annoyed her plan failed and was also now worried about the repercussions her failed move faced. "Brody, you have been officially eliminated from Total Drama World Race, any final words?"
"Geoff, thanks for showing me the ropes of this game, and to whoever voted me out dudes, no hard feelings at all." Brody said as he began to walk away. "Damn." Brody told himself as he was now out of the game.
"This team has been cut in half, from where it stood Day 1. Good luck next challenge, as Chris will be back, and there will be some twists in store. Get a good night's sleep." Blwineley said sarcastically at the end.
Confessional- Damien
"My shot against Brody worked, and I have to thank Millie. With the vote being 4 to 3 to 2, the vote obviously meant that Geoff, Brody, and Bridgette voted me out. Harold and Ezekiel must have voted out Millie."
Confessional- Millie
"This Is bad, very bad, I thought I had him, I genuinely thought I had him." Millie whined. "The good news is that with the way votes are, I can at least pretend to still be his ally." Millie then looked like she was thinking, "How did those other 6 votes go?"
Confessional- Geoff
"I'm confused how Brody is out." Geoff then teared up, "What hurts most, is that if I didn't decide to vote out Millie and instead voted out Damien like Brody suggested I'm pretty sure he'd still be here."
Confessional- Bridgette
"This decision was so hard to make. But I had to put my own game first. Cutting Brody was due to the fact that Brody is only close to me due to Geoff. When I suggested getting rid of Brody it was like a light bulb popped in Harold's mind."
Confessional- Harold
"Ezekiel and I were struggling trying to figure out a way to keep Damien and Millie, Damien for his conflict with Tyler, and Millie for the journal." Harold explained before smiling. "Then Bridgette explained that Geoff was targeting Millie and it was like the skies parted, as I presumed that Damien was voting Brody home, and I saw the opening." Harold said. "The next thing I need to do is expose Millie to Damien, and maybe he can help me with this journal."
Final Words- Brody
"Awe man, it sucks to be out. What stinks is that if I would have just voted Damien out like my little thing in here was telling me to do, I would still be here." Brody said before smiling, "Regardless, this has been amazing, getting to see the world dudes, I wouldn't trade that for nothing."

Notes:
That's going to wrap up part two of the Beijing chapter. So now first of all, the street food challenge was actually kind of fun, but also not to some degree. So let me start off the fun parts, writing Jo beating up Julia. I always found that scene hilarious in Canon when Josee did it to Jacques, and given Jo's competitive nature, she fit the scene perfectly.
Now the team scores were taken the individual points from the donut jump, and the duo challenge with for example Jo and Julia each earning 30 points for finishing 1st in both parts, now obviously some duos got the shaft (Katie and Heather, Trent and Sky, Courtney and Bowie) but each duo has its reasons even beyond this chapter.
Now onto the stuff I didn't like but I did decide to still write, Tyler and Lindsay. I wanted someone to be the Ryan and Stephanie of the challenge, but it wasn't funny writing Tyler as a jerk, so I decided to try and have him be a jerk to Lindsay, but at least have him explain his reasoning, now without saying how the plot ends, this will be the worst Tyler ever is.
Speaking of Tyler, let's move on to Team Victory and specifically the player eliminated, Brody. I knew heading into this I wanted Brody on the cast, as I wanted him to give Geoff some plot and relevancy. But I was struggling what to do with Brody, until about the Germany chapter, and I realized that with how I was writing Damien, he was acting the exact opposite of Brody so I decided why not have a rivalry. That's why starting in Germany you start to see Brody wanting to target Damien, and Damien be annoyed with Brody going headfirst into wanting bananas in the Amazon.
Now for why I decided to eliminate Brody. With the twist that Blaineley is alluding to at the end it is going to change the game in more ways than one, but also came the decision of who makes it to the twist and who doesn't, and with what I have planned Brody wasn't fitting in anywhere, so I knew he had to go before the twist. Then came the next problem, how to eliminate him. I quickly arrived at Scott throwing the challenge for why Brody gets eliminated, but then I realized that I could make it seem that while Brody was eliminated due to a bad challenge performance, there were so many other factors at play (Damien and Tyler fighting, Bridgette having way too many deals, and allegiances). Trust me, not right now but the Brody elimination and everything at play there, will have ramification down the road.
I also decided that since we are in the Top 30, every player left gets to say some final words. Brody's was simple, but some are going to be a lot more passionate, whether it is sadness, shock from a blindside, or pure anger at someone betraying them.
Next chapter is in Finland, and in the first part of the episode, players are tempted with the first twist of the episode, and many people reveal their true feelings for their competitors.
Chapter 22: I Love The World Of Ridonc and Roll Part 1
Summary:
The Final 29 go to Finland where the first challenge takes place. Plans are made, and a twist for extended immunity entices the contestants.

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- I Love The World of Ridonc and Roll Part 1
Recap
Chris and Blaineley are shown sitting in lawn chairs at the start of the episode, "Welcome back to Total Drama World Race." Chris announced, excited to be back on his show. "Last time, the contestants had to dive and get skewered here in China. They say love conquers all, but the hatred that Alejandro and Harold had for each other, along with Jo and Julia lead to both duos doing great for the challenge. With Team Style in particular dominating."
"Ultimately Team Amazon and especially Team Victory completely crashed as the latter lost. Harold and Ezekiel were caught in between two groups, and vowed to work together, despite their history." Blaineley further said. "However, when Harold overheard Millie willing to send Damien home, a close vote sent Brody packing to keep Millie at odds with Damien, with Bridgette leaving her boyfriend Geoff out too cold." Blaineley narrated.
"New deals are being formed, and tonight the game will be shaken up by the end of this episode. Twists no one will see coming. We have 29 contestants still vying for 1 million dollars, and another one will be sent home tonight. Find out who leaves tonight on Total Drama World Race!" Chris excitedly announced. "Cue the NEW INTRO!"

The episode starts with everyone in their respective teams, even as everyone within each team was growing tired of these teams, since these teams had been here since Day 1, and it had been well over a month being on the same team. The biggest shock for the contestants was Chris being back, "Attention contestants, after today we have a couple of twists that will change the game." Chris announced.
For people who felt they were on the bottom of their teams and were the next ones out, like Geoff, and Trent were excited. But for Heather, she had her suspicions and didn't take Chris' statement seriously. "It's probably just Chris getting reunited with that stupid plane." Heather told Katie, who agreed with her in her head but not publicly.
The camera next panned over to Courtney, she was finally in higher spirits after her breakup with Duncan, but was growing impatient, "Where are we even going today?" Courtney asked.
"Be patient." Blaineley stated. "If you must know it's Finland. Now does anyone have any fun facts about Finland?"
Damien was excited about the prospect of going to Finland and spoke up. "This place is considered one of the happiest places in the world and it has many coffee drinkers." Damien exclaimed. "My type of people."
"I remember they do many weird competitions for fun, including air guitar." Jo explained, as everyone looked at her weirdly. "What? I have a brain, and Finland was the country I had to do a book report on in school. Got a C." Jo explained.
"When Beth and I were traveling Europe, we wanted to go to Finland, as Beth said it had the most phone users." Lindsay told everyone present. Now Lindsay sighed as she remembered her best friend, and wished she was still in the competition.
Gwen was the next one to speak up about Finland, "They have almost 4 months of total darkness." Gwen explained, as she turned to Duncan, "Goth is also mainstream there, so I will fit right in. There was a punk goth who ran for office and won."
"While all fascinating, there is one more thing. Come on, what is it?" Chris asked.
Many people looked at each other, unsure of what Chris was alluding to, "I have no idea." Zoey stated.
"Wait a minute, I remember when Tom and I looked at Finland fashion." Jen said, "They have the most saunas per capita." Jen explained.
"Bingo! Which is where we will have the first part of today's challenge." Chris explained as many people cheered."However we are a little short on taxis, so we are going to have 8 people in each cab."
"Oh, that is going to be a tight squeeze." Mickey said flinching in worry, but at least happy that he and Cody wouldn't awkwardly be in a cab together by themselves.
Cab Rides [2]
One of the taxis had Owen, Alejandro, Jo, Noah, Sky, Heather, Julia, Katie, and Geoff as due to Noah's smaller frame they were able to fit a 9th person in this case Katie in. However this was a group of people with so much tension between them, Owen hated Alejandro, and that feeling was very mutual. Alejandro had no respect for Owen, hated Jo, felt Noah was beneath him, and while he deep down felt something for Heather, he would never admit it to anyone. Jo and Sky had a complicated dynamic, and it wasn't like Julia was friends with either of them. Lastly Katie knew in her mind that Alejandro had sent her best friend Sadie back home in the Yukon all those weeks ago. The one person who didn't hold any contempt was ironically Geoff, the person who lost his best friend Brody in the game less than 24 hours ago. But even he could feel the tension in the car and decided to stay quiet.
The second cab had Duncan, Gwen, Harold, Scott, Courtney, Bridgette, and Ezekiel. This was another cab that was full of awkward energy. Duncan and Gwen wanted to talk about Gwen's love of Finland, but since Courtney was there, both had to stay quiet. Duncan due to the whole ex situation, and Gwen as she didn't want to lose Courtney as an ally, as she was unsure of how hurt Courtney was after the breakup. Not helping Duncan, was the fact that of all people, Harold was in this cab, another person who Duncan couldn't stand. Then there was Scott and Courtney, Scott was madly in love with her, which was a distraction for him in the game, one he didn't mind. While for Courtney she was glad that Scott was still by her side, but didn't enjoy having to be in the same vicinity as Duncan, her ex-boyfriend, Harold the guy who cheated her out of the competition season 1, and Ezekiel, the guy who almost survived the vote after the first episode. Not one person spoke a word the trip to the airport, as whether it be out of fear like Harold and Ezekiel, or not wanting to cause any drama in Bridgette. No one wanted to speak at all.
The third taxi contained Kitty, Mickey, Cody, Damien, Zoey, Topher, and Anne Maria. Aka Team Amazon's love conundrum with Damien attached to it. Kitty and Cody were dating, but Kitty had no idea that Cody kissed Mickey behind Kitty's back, during the Dubai Challenge. Mickey felt an attraction to Cody but was pretending to everyone that he was interested in Zoey, who still harbored feelings for Topher, yet he was dating her nemesis, Anne Maria. It did help Zoey though that both Cody and Mickey hated Anne Maria's guts like her, so she didn't feel alone. Damien however was completely oblivious to all these dynamics, and simply asked the taxi driver, "Yo, taxi man, do you have any music?" This however caused an argument with everyone wanting different songs to be played, and the taxi driver using an air horn to quiet everyone down.
The last taxi contained Trent, Jen, Bowie, Lindsay, Tyler, and Millie. This one was a little livelier than the other 3. Trent and Jen spent the whole-time flirting, with Bowie chuckling in amusement that his two closest allies in his eyes, were THIS close to making it official. The Team Victory side of the cab however in Lindsay, Tyler and Millie were silent, as Millie wrote down what Jen and Trent were saying, while Lindsay was jealous of what Trent and Jen had. While Tyler wondered how he would be like Trent and get Lindsay back with him.
Apena Pele Spa
Everyone had made it to Finland, and it was fairly cold, as there was snow on the ground, but luckily it wasn't as cold as say the Yukon was, so no one was shivering. Bridgette looked around and was confused. "Where are we?"
"The Apena Pele Spa, with the saunas of course." Blaineley announced. "Here is how today's challenge works. Every team is going to have 8 people enter individual saunas." Blaineley stated.
Chris then immediately spoke up, "Fully clothed Owen! Fully clothed!" Chris said as everyone recoiled at Owen who had already taken his pants off.
Jo, wanting to attract the tension off of Owen and what he almost did, decided to change the conversation. "How long are we supposed to stay in the saunas?"
"As long as you want. The Top 4 per team advance to the second part of the challenge." Blaineley said. "Now for some of you that may hate saunas may leave the saunas right away. So, we decided to incentivize each of you. If you are one of the last 4 left in the sauna you advance to the second part of the challenge. But if you win or finish 2nd, you and the 3 teammates who earned the win are safe." Blaineley continued as the camera flashed in on her "Until the Top 25." At that notion, the mood shifted as the prospect of being safe for 4 rounds of gameplay.
"That's almost the halfway point of the game." Harold said in excitement. "That's amazing."
"But it's not that easy. If you advance to the second part of the challenge and lose, there is no immunity for you and the 4 of you are the only one's vulnerable tonight for elimination." Chris explained, as he continued on. "Now Jo, Heather, and Katie, your immunity from Dubai does not apply here. You are all vulnerable right now. Now since there are only 4 people per team vulnerable, I think we are due to explain the tie vote rule."
"What is that?" Damien asked, curiously.
"Well since tonight 4 people are vulnerable, if the vote ends up in a tie, there will be a revote and if the tie isn't broken the two remaining people who aren't in the tie would draw rocks, the purple one we have means you are safe, red means you are out." Chris explained.
With the rules of the tiebreaker explained, everyone was nervous. This challenge would be a huge risk and reward, but it could also backfire in someone's face just as fast.
"Now it is time for the challenge proper, everyone on Team Victory is competing." Blaineley announced.
"That's to be expected, eh." Ezekiel said, as he was debating in his head whether to go for the second part of the challenge.
"Team Style, the two members sitting out and moving into the Top 28 are Noah and Julia." Chris announced, as the show and producers enjoyed Julia's villainous gameplay, as for Noah, he had been a fan favorite for the test audiences for the early part of the season.
"Oh no." Noah said sarcastically. "I don't have to sweat and make my body feel gross. How tragic."
Chris and Blaineley moved on from Noah's sarcastic quip, both shocked viewers loved him. "Anyways, Team Amazon, the people who are sitting out and are safe are Heather, Zoey, and Topher." Chris announced. The producers wanted Heather safe as she was a production favorite, and knew with what was in store, she would bring even more good ratings for the show. Topher was chosen, for reasons that would remain disclosed for now, [2] and picking Zoey was due to the show producers wanting to mess with Anne Maria.
"What about the rest of us?" Gwen asked. "What are we even going to be doing in a sauna?"
"Not much." Blaineley said. "Everyone has their own individual sauna, where there is a place to sit, a camera to film, and a spreadsheet for you guys to answer. But beyond that, you are alone in the sauna, with only you and your thoughts."
Confessional- Owen
"I at least wish that I could have taken some of my clothes off as I am going to be a sweat volcano in there."
Confessional- Heather
"I can't believe my luck. First, I have my immunity still from Dubai, and now I am immune tonight. I'm untouchable." Heather bloated before catching her breath, "But just because I'm safe doesn't mean I am going to sit around and do nothing today. Someone is bound to spill, and I need to find out more information."
Confessional- Lindsay
"This challenge is perfect for me. Saunas are really good for the skin. I don't want it to be too warm though."
Confessional- Harold
"This first challenge is essentially a gamble. You either drop out early and are safe tonight. Or you win today and get to advance for the Top 25. With the fact that Chris was talking about multiple twists, I am going for it and ensuring my own safety."
Confessional- Alejandro
"With me being left out of the last vote, and then I was left out for the Brick vote. Then I didn't even know Eva left." Alejandro said as his eyes widened. "Wow my game is not what I thought it would be, but anyways, if I get a chance to launch myself into the Top 25, it might be what I finally need."
Start of Challenge
The first person shown entering the sauna was Damien, he wanted to be in the sauna long enough to warm his body up, but not long enough to put himself in future danger. Damien looks around and notices the questionnaire. "In order to prepare for the twists that lie ahead. Total Drama producers want to know how the contestants feel about their fellow competitors. We asked the following questions. 'Who do you trust the most on your team? Who do you not trust on your team? Lastly, who are people you do and don't want to work with that are not on your team?" Damien read. "Well for who do I trust the most, it's obviously Millie. Her and I have made every decision together and I have no doubt she would never betray me and Millie is probably toughing it out in the sauna."
Outside of The Saunas
Damien however was wrong on both accounts, Millie had fully turned against him, with Damien being none the wiser. He was also dead wrong that Millie was still in the sauna as she had only lasted maybe 15 seconds at best in the sauna room. The camera showed Millie, and she had a weak smile. "Saunas are not really my thing at all." Millie explained. Before Millie could further tell, a blood curdling scream was heard around the area. "What the hell was that?" Millie asked.
The camera immediately went to the source of the scream. The source being Jen, as she had a slight amount of sweat on her top, but one would think she had just witnessed a murder. "STAY AWAY FROM ME!" Jen yelled out. "I look hideous. What will my fans think?"
Millie walked closer to the scene but knew to give Jen her space. "That's not good." Millie observed, when Anne Maria came on screen. "Aren't you supposed to still be in the sauna?" Millie asked.
"As if I am spending any more time potentially ruining my perfect tan. Some things are worth more than money. My tan being one of them." Anne Madia stated.
"That's interesting." Millie said with a nervous chuckle. "Very interesting."
"I'm not a drama queen about it like others." Anne Maria said, pointing at Jen, who was now hunched over in a corner crying about her top in her eyes being ruined.
Meanwhile
At another part outside of the saunas, were the Team Amazon sit-outs Zoey, Topher, and Heather. Heather didn't exactly like that she was stuck with both of them. Zoey and Topher on their own were fine but putting them together was like watching two dorks who won't leave each other. Heather understood it with Zoey, as she had always let her nerdier side come out. Heather however didn't understand it with Topher, here is a guy with absolute model looks, dressed like Chris McLean, and is dating Anne Maria. Yet oftentimes, when his personality came out, you would think he was the third musketeer with Cody and Mickey.
Speaking of Topher, he was talking about Finland openly "Finland has it so each kid gets two birthday parties regardless of their parents' married status." Topher explained.
"That would be amazing." Zoey exclaimed, before noticing Heather was signaling for both Zoey and Topher to be quiet. "What's going on, Heather?"
The camera zoomed out from the crouching trio of Zoey, Topher, and Heather. What Heather noticed was that Noah and Julia were having a tense conversation. "Today is the day we have to do a sabotage." Julia told Noah. With both of them immune tonight, Julia didn't see any downside towards putting her plan in motion.
Noah however remained completely against this idea. "I'm not doing it. It's not my style, besides why should I trust you when Sky told me that Dave told her that you were the one that sent him home back in Morocco." Noah explained.
"Because with the exception of Bowie and Sky, I can turn the whole team against you." Julia threatened Noah. "Let's see, Jen and Trent will save themselves to stay another day. Duncan is the most selfish player outside of myself and Alejandro. Which of course means Alejandro will take you out. Lastly, do you really think that Jo would go to a tiebreaker rock draw for you." Julia explained before saying what made Noah's mind begin to swirl. "Everything I just said also applies to Sky if you don't do this."
"So, you're essentially blackmailing me." Noah said. "This is freaking blackmail."
"Don't look at it as blackmail. Look at it as Noah finally making a move." Julia explained, as Noah had a now quizzical look on his face. "What?"
"Who would we even target if this goes through?" Noah asked, hoping it wasn't Sky or Owen.
"Trent." Julia coldly stated. "With him gone, Jen will be a total mess and someone no one will have to worry about at all. Also, with the exception of Duncan. Everyone on the team likes him." Julia further said. "If we don't take Trent out now, he may never get taken out." Julia then looked around. "Let's leave here, I feel like I'm being watched."
Julia and Noah left, unaware that Heather, Zoey, and Topher all heard everything they discussed. "That was interesting." Heather said.
"Should we say anything?" Zoey asked. "That's just wrong, what Julia is doing."
"For now, we need to keep quiet. Information is the most powerful when dropped at the right time." Heather explained. "Besides, I want to see if they are dumb enough to actively get rid of one of their own teammates."
"What's most shocking for me is that Julia is not who she pretends to be." Topher explained. "I figured she'd be like Lindsay and not be the smartest."
Sauna Questionnaire
The show editors decided to show a montage of everyone who was left in the saunas, starting with Owen. "Who do I trust the most?" Owen read. "Well, I trust Jo as she is my scary buddy, and then there's Noah. He is my best buddy. Jo and I became friends due to Brick, and she is a good friend." Owen then read the next question of who he doesn't trust on his team. "Alejandro is still scary, and I don't trust Julia at all."
The second sauna showed Jo. "Alejandro is someone on the team I don't trust at all. He has to be the next one to go." Jo said. "As for who on the other team I would want to work with, I want to work with Heather and Katie to send Alejandro home if he does somehow keep staying."
The next sauna was Katie, "I am going for immediate safety tonight, so I won't be here long." Katie said as she looked at the questions. "I am starting to trust Heather, that she will take out Alejandro and Gwen with her." Katie then sighed, "I just don't know if I trust her beyond that." Katie read further along. "I would like to work with Jo or Lindsay even, as I know Jo and I share a common sentiment of getting rid of Alejandro out as she has made it clear that is where she stands. Lindsay and I are also friends, and I love listening to her as I feel like I am talking to a mirror."
The camera flashed over to Courtney next, "I am going to be in here a while. Trust me." Courtney boasted. "On my team I trust Scott and Gwen since we've been aligned since the Yukon. Also, I do want to say that while I do not trust this person, I would want to drag Mickey to the end as he is easy to sway, and weak in challenges." Courtney said, before rolling her eyes. "That and as much as I hate to admit it, I do respect his heart. Also, if somehow Scott and Gwen get taken out, it's good to have a backup. I even have backups for the backups." Courtney then continued on. "Now if I were to work with someone on the opposing team, it'd be Bridgette. She is one of the few friends I maintained from the first couple of seasons, and any extra numbers I need, I will take."
Next one shown was Bridgette, who looked right at home in the sauna. "Who do I want to work with on the opposing teams? Probably Gwen and Courtney." Bridgette said as she looked around. "But I wonder why of all people did they choose to work with Scott? I mean, I am glad he is not Heather, and both of them went crazy and worked with her. But something about that dude I do not trust."
The aforementioned Scott was next shown, looking very relaxed. "Oh please, saunas are just a hot day's work, without the work. So, I could be here for at least an hour." Scott said as he turned his head to the questions. "Who do I trust? Well obviously, Courtney. She is cute, hot, and finally seems like she is over Duncan. I may have a shot." Scott said before looking back at the questions. "Who do I not trust on this team? Well Heather is still a royal pain in the ass. But it isn't her. It's Kitty I don't trust, she is an absolute wildcard on this team, and she has both Mickey and especially Cody wrapped around her finger." Scott declared, unaware about Cody and Mickey's kiss, and the fact that Mickey was more interested in Cody and had nothing romantic for Kitty at all.
Kitty was the next one shown in the saunas. "Oh gosh, this is so gross." Kitty said, as she then answered the questions. "I trust Cody the most since he is my boyfriend, and Mickey as well, since he has been with Cody and I since the beginning." Kitty said smiling, but then her face fell. "But at times I am paranoid about their friendship, as I have a great love detector, and it's never been off. Yet Cody keeps reassuring me that there's nothing going on with him and Mickey." Kitty said before sighing in sadness. "Why couldn't I have a simple love like Harold and Leshawna have." Kitty said as she began to tear up, thinking about Cody.
Since he was mentioned, Harold was next up. He was sweating like crazy, but Harold knew he had to get this immunity "I need to have immunity until Top 25. Something doesn't feel right." Harold said. "Who do I want to work with that's on the other teams? Probably my bandmates Trent and Cody." Harold said, as he felt like he was in pain in the sauna.
Trent was next shown, "Hope Jen is okay." Trent told himself. "But I can't leave this sauna at all right now. I need that safety after losing Justin." Trent then looked down at the ground. "I wonder how Jen handled this challenge?" Trent asked himself, unaware that Jen was in the middle of a meltdown.
The next individual sauna person was Gwen. "Chris and Blaineley are cruel for doing this. Sick, twisted, stupid game." Gwen mumbled. Then Gwen looked at the questions. "Ugh fine, I guess I will answer. I trust Courtney and Scott even if those two being a couple is inevitable. So, I need other allies and friends." Gwen said as she shuddered at that thought. "But with the exception of Cody, Kitty, and Zoey. I hate the team I am currently on. Topher is fake. Anne Maria is a bully, and Heather is Heather, I don't need to justify why I don't like her" Gwen said, as she didn't mention Katie, the person who wanted her out the most on her team and Mickey the person who was suspicious of her after the meat grinder incident, and what happened with Ella in Romania. "Now for who I want to work with on the other team, obviously Duncan, I mean hello. He is hot!" Gwen said as her eyes widened. "I meant it's hot, and he's nice. Heh." Gwen said as she nervously chuckled.
Duncan was next "I don't exactly trust anyone but if I had to. I guess I trust Jo and Owen since we worked together on the last vote, and I have to think Bowie and I are on good terms."
Since he was mentioned, Bowie was shown next. "I am going for the immediate immunity so Julia can't take me out if she wants too. Sucks that she is immune. But if I am as well, it gives me more time to send her packing." Bowie stated. "What? She sent my best friend home, so now I want to get even, and as long as someone is willing to target her with me. They are an ally of mine."
The next person was Ezekiel. "After last night's vote, eh. I trust Harold and Bridgette, and I do want to trust Millie. It's just that this whole journal thing is complicated. First Cameron was interested, told me about it eh. Then he told Harold and now Harold wants to find out." Ezekiel said. "He is obsessed with it eh."
Sky was next, "I trust Noah and Jen the most. Noah is my best friend on the team. We have each other's back, and I know he looks at me as just a friend. Besides, we could never work as a couple, and I have a boyfriend back home named Keith." Sky said remembering her boyfriend. "As for Jen she is a great person, and I know that besides Trent she is the most loyal to me. As for the people on my team I don't trust. Julia and Alejandro. Julia has been very manipulative, and Alejandro has had it out for Noah for a while now. The problem is that Alejandro keeps evading elimination. While Julia is safe tonight." Sky said, as she had a weird gut feeling that something wasn't right.
Alejandro was the third to last one shown, as he looked completely relaxed. "I have done this before, so I should easily move onto the next round." Alejandro then frowned. "Oh and I don't trust anyone on my team. Owen and Noah are annoying. Jo is a pain in the ass, Duncan is a punk. Julia is fake, Bowie is arrogant, Sky is a huge threat, and Trent is pathetic." Alejandro explained. "If I am lucky this twist is some sort of team switch, and I ditch my former teammates. Get people I could actually manipulate and rebuild this game. I thought this would be so easy, but this has been much harder than it could have ever been." Alejandro then looked on in thought, "For who I think I could manipulate, Mickey seems pathetic, and both Lindsay and Tyler are dumb. Those 3, along with Jen and Heather would be who I would want to be at the end with. I would obviously win." Alejandro boasted as he ended his sauna talk.
The second to last one was Cody, as he was shown stressed out, "Who do I trust? Well Kitty obviously. She is my girlfriend after all. No matter what anyone says." Cody said, trying to sound confident, before his face fell back down. "Look, I trust Mickey and want to be best friends with him. But that kiss in Dubai is just leaving me confused, about him, about myself. For all I know Mickey has already told people about the kiss." Cody wondered. "What if he told Kitty? No, Cody, don't think about that." Cody then looked at the question of who he would want to work with on the other team. "Someone confident who is completely sure who they are, so Harold or Bowie. Harold is so sure of himself, and Bowie is as well and he is gay, which can help me." After saying that, Cody had a look of horror on his face at how that came across. "Not that there's anything wrong with that, not at all. I just think maybe he can help me figure out how I feel and who I am." Cody told himself, before his body gave out and he looked like he was about to collapse to the ground. "What the hell is wrong with me?"
The last person shown was Mickey, yet if one looked at him, they would think he was perfectly fine, as he hadn't even sweat an ounce. "Finally, a challenge I can excel in. Never thought I would thank my temperature dyslexia, but it makes me not feel hot or cold." Mickey then looked over at the questions, "I will answer this again I guess in case the show hadn't gotten it yet. I trust Zoey the most. But I think I have to tell her I'm not interested in her in that way. I know Kitty wants her and I together." Mickey said as his eyes widened in horror. "Wait, does Kitty know how I feel about Cody? I mean yeah he's great, amazing, hot, awesome, and hot." Mickey gushed before composing himself. "But I am not a homewrecker. Heck, I have never even had a boyfriend. This whole love conundrum has left me confused. It's a mess." Mickey lamented, before hearing knocking noises. "Gah! What was that? Who's there?" Mickey asked.
Chris' voice was heard off screen "Mickey are you done yet? You've been in the sauna for over an hour. Last person finished over 20 minutes ago." Chris explained as Mickey felt embarrassed.
First Challenge Results
Everyone was gathered outside the saunas now, the challenge over with Chris looking excited. "All I can say is that the dirt was dished out in the saunas."
Duncan however, looked less than pleased. "What? Are you going to reveal what everyone said like at the Brick elimination?" Duncan asked.
Chris shook his head no, "Unfortunately no. That would be an invasion of privacy, that I would intrude on, but I am under watch and key with the bosses after Newfoundland." Chris explained. "But hopefully some of your guys' consciences are cleared."
"Can we just get on with it?" Heather asked impatiently, knowing she could act out a little since she was safe tonight.
"Here are our people advancing to the second part of the challenge. Mickey, Scott, Courtney and Kitty for Team Amazon." Blaineley announced. Mickey was obvious since he had to be told to leave the sauna. But the shocker was Kitty and Courtney making the Top 4.
"I didn't have you pegged as someone who could last in a sauna?" Scott asked Courtney. "Is the competitive Courtney back?" Scott further asked.
"I just felt really determined today." Courtney said, thrown off by Scott's question.
"Team Style the Top 4 are Alejandro, Jo, Sky and Trent." Blaineley announced, as Alejandro and Jo expected themselves to advance, while Sky was proud of herself. Trent felt nervous he was advancing but felt like he had to take the risk. "Now for Team Victory, your 4 are Tyler, Geoff, Bridgette, and Harold."
"Which means everyone else who is not one of these 12 are now safe for tonight, and tonight only." Chris announced, as everyone who wasn't in the Top 12 felt relief. "The 12 of you left are vulnerable tonight for elimination. But just a reminder, if your team wins today, 8 of you will book your spot in the Top 25 and guarantee yourself a few rounds of safety." Chris stated.
Damien however felt there was something wrong with Chris' statement, "Isn't it supposed to be 4 rounds of safety, this one and the 3 that will take us down to 25?" Damien asked.
"It is when 4 people leave, but another twist will have a say in that. But that won't be revealed until later." Chris said. "Now for the remaining 12 of you. We have a special challenge for you guys."
"Ooh what is it!?" Lindsay asked excitedly, despite not competing.
"We've rented out a stadium in downtown Oulu, Finland. As each of you four have been put into a singing performance." Chris said.
"A singing performance? Are you kidding me?" Jo asked in anger. "This dumb singing part of the show is never going away is it."
"No, it's not." Chris said with a huge grin. "Now if it makes you feel better. It will be determined in 2 solo acts and 1 duet. Blaineley and I will be judging on a scale of 1 to 10. Two teams with the highest points out of 60 wins, same with second, while last place will send one of the four of you home."
"Lastly for the 17 of you not competing, you are free to do whatever you want legally, Duncan!" Blaineley said, turning towards the delinquent. "Whether that's watching the show, getting some food, or helping a teammate out with their performance that doesn't involve you singing. Fine with us."
Confessional- Heather
"Well, this is perfect. Julia is going to get Noah to sabotage Trent and would probably get him to tamper with his guitar. If I can catch the sabotage happening, I can finally have dirt and valuable information in this game."
Confessional- Trent
"A singing performance in Finland is perfect for me!" Trent said before he looked down at the ground sadly. "But I can't even focus on that. When Chris gathered all of us around, I noticed that Jen looked absolutely distraught. I need to make sure she's okay."
Team Meetings
Each team had to have a meeting to determine who was doing the solo songs and who was the two that were doing the duet. For Team Victory, the decision was easy, "Bridgette and I are doing the duet."
"Shocker." Millie said sarcastically, before composing herself. "What's the song?"
Bridgette had no clue, But Geoff had an idea. "I want it to be a surprise for you guys." Geoff explained.
"I don't get it. How can you do a duet as a surprise?" Damien asked, bewildered by Geoff's line of thinking. "That doesn't make any sense at all."
"Dude, don't worry about this at all." Geoff told Damien. "I'm the one in danger, not you. So why do you care, Damien?" Geoff asked which made Damien stay quiet. Damien knew Geoff was right, and in Damien's eyes he would get to choose whether it was Geoff or Tyler leaving tonight. Geoff then continued on. "Okay Tyler and Harold dudes, good luck. If you don't mind me asking, what are the song titles for your song?"
Both Tyler and Harold had looks of pure excitement on their faces. Tyler was the first to speak up "I have an idea, and I think I will call the song 'Delicate'. It sounds neat, and nothing like me." Tyler boasted.
As Team Victory was discussing Tyler's unique song title, the scene shifted to Team Style, well everyone on Team Style who wasn't Trent or Jen. "Okay who is doing what of the three of us, as I think I can speak for both Jo and Alejandro when I say none of us really like each other." Sky said as Alejandro and Jo glared at her. "Oh come on you two both know I am right."
"If we want the best results for the challenge, I think we need the two people who hate each other the most." Julia began to explain. "Which is why I think Jo and Alejandro should do the duet."
Jo however was jaw dropped, and had a look of murder in her eyes, "This is absolute bullshit."
"I don't care." Julia defiantly declared. "Trent and Sky are better off as solo acts and both of you know I'm right." Julia stated, as Alejandro and Jo knew deep down, she was right. "Any other questions?"
"Do you have an ulterior motive here?" Sky asked.
"Of course not." Julia lied, her motive was to make sure to eliminate Trent and him having a duet partner would complicate things. She also wanted to make sure Sky was by herself so more of a spotlight would be put on her singing.
The last team meeting was Team Amazon, "Courtney and I are doing the duet." Scott claimed. "If that's okay with you Courtney?" Scott asked, hoping to get her approval.
"That's fine." Courtney said. "Does anyone else have anything else they need to say or do before we all practice?"
Mickey then raised his hand, "Can I borrow Topher and Zoey before the challenge?" Mickey asked shyly. "I need them to help me with something important." Mickey continued, however the way he phrased the last statement, made people confused, and in Cody's case concerned.
"I'm confused why, but I don't mind." Topher said as Zoey nodded. "Okay is anyone else doing anything else, while the four of them sing, and Zoey and I help Mickey?" Topher asked.
"Katie and I have some reconnaissance we need to do on the other teams." Heather declared, hoping to see if Noah would go through with the sabotage.
"We are?" Katie asked, bewildered by Heather roping her in. "I mean yes we are!" Katie said.
Gwen however was freaked out by this. "Why, so you can spy on Alejandro, Heather?" Gwen asked.
"As if. I will just say, if my suspicions are true, one of the teams will self-destruct." Heather alluded. Which was another confusing statement, that everyone sans Heather, Topher, and Zoey understood.

Author Notes
[1] The new intro was due to the fact that a fair amount of the old intro was outdated, and to hint at and show the next destinations that are coming up.
[2] Cab Rides were meant to show how awkward a lot of the dynamics in the game are, and to explain a lot of the headspaces everyone was in.
The sauna challenge was meant to further show how most people were feeling and set up future storylines.
One last thing, this chapter is split into 3 parts as it is massive. Next chapter has the singing challenge, and some performances shocking the audience, while a cameo I am proud of.
Chapter 23: I Love The World of Ridonc and Roll Part 2
Summary:
The 12 that advance to the second challenge must perform in Finland, with a chance to make the Top 25 on the line, who will soar, who will fall, and what will happen backstage that will change the game forever.

(End Of Intro)
Finland Stadium
The music stadium had many people in it, locals from Finland, Total Drama fans, and producers, tourists, and most importantly the Total Drama contestants that weren't competing, as the screen focused on Lindsay, Millie, and Damien. Millie decided it was best to just placate Damien, as he still believed Millie kept him. Luckily the only person who could tell Damien the truth would be Ezekiel, but he was too amazed by the stadium. "This place is so loud." Millie observed as she debated whether she should see the place had earplugs.
"Oh my gosh Millie! This place is so cool. I always go to concerts with my sisters back home." Lindsay said as she looked as comfortable as could be in the crowd. "What about you Millie? Have you ever seen a singer live before the show?" Lindsay asked.
"No, my scene is much quieter, like a library." Millie explained.
Lindsay however didn't listen to Millie and ignored her. "I will say my favorite singer is Britney Spears. I absolutely love her." Lindsay gushed. "I love her song 'If U Seek Amy', it's so great." Lindsay said.
Millie, who was drinking some soda, did a spit take and spat her drink out as it landed on Damien. "Gross, Millie. Why?" Damien said as he was covered in soda.
Millie was still stunned, but got her composure back, "Lindsay. Please repeat the song title."
"Oh okay, it's called if you seek Amy." Lindsay explained.
Damien had finally heard what Lindsay said and was gob smacked. "No, no, no, you can't say that on television Lindsay. You are asking people to screw you." Damien explained.
Lindsay however was completely confused about Damien's freaked out behavior, "No I'm not. The song is about Britney Spears seeking out a woman named Amy." Lindsay said, unaware of the song's true meaning.
Before the conversation could go on ahead, Chris' voice was heard as he stood on stage with a microphone, "Tonight is the Total Drama Song Showdown. The order is as follows, Harold, Kitty, Jo with Alejandro, Tyler, Courtney and Scott, Sky, Bridgette is with Geoff, Mickey and lastly Trent. So first up will be Harold shortly."
Holding Room
Everyone who was scheduled to perform was shown in a small room, for some like Mickey and Sky, it was pure nerves. However, for Harold, the person first up. He was excited. "I've got this! You guys are going to see a whole new side to the H-bomb!" Harold declared as he left the room.
"You got this dude." Tyler called out. "I guarantee his love song to Leshawna will be amazing."
"Since I'm not going to perform for a while. I'm going to go see where Topher and Zoey are." Mickey explained to Kitty. "Good luck out there. I know Cody will like whatever you do." Mickey said as he left.
"What's wrong with Mickey?" Kitty asked. "He's always stressed out, and this feels different." Kitty said having some suspicions about Mickey and what he was planning.
Sky then noticed that Trent was nowhere to be seen since the second challenge started. "Where's Trent?"
Jo and Alejandro however, couldn't care less "Who knows? Who cares?" Both Jo and Alejandro said, before glaring at each other. "Stop that!"
Front Entrance
Meanwhile at the front entrance of the stadium, Heather had managed to pull Katie aside to explain what happened while Katie was in the sauna. "If we want to work together, there's something I need to tell you." Heather said. "During the challenge, Zoey, Topher, and I overheard Julia trying to get Noah to sabotage Trent out of the game." Heather explained.
Katie looked skeptical, "Is that why you said before the challenge, that one team was going to self-destruct?" Katie asked as Heather nodded her head. "What do you suppose we do? I really don't want to see Trent eliminated tonight."
"Well because you like him. I don't care for him like that, I just want to see if Julia and Noah are dumb enough to send one of their team members home." Heather explained.
"How are we going to see the sabotage without anyone catching us though?" Katie asked.
"It's gross, but the vents are the only way." Heather said. "I'll go in first."
"I could lead us." Katie said before Heather narrowed her eyes. "Never mind. I do want to see if this actually happens. This doesn't sound anything like Noah."
Back on-stage Harold had appeared as you could hear Ezekiel cheer for Harold "You got this Harold! Whoo!" Ezekiel cheered.
"Okay Harold, what is the song you'll be performing for us?" Chris asked. "Also, is anyone else on stage with you?"
"Nope just me." Harold said. "This song is dedicated to the best girlfriend in the world, Leshawna."
As Harold began to sing, Heather and Katie didn't look very impressed. "His singing isn't bad, but can we go to the vents instead?" Katie asked.
"I thought you would never ask." Heather said, as both ladies made their way to the vents, "If you don't mind me asking. Why out of all the drama brothers is Sadie closest to Harold?" Heather asked. "Justin and Trent have good looks, and Cody has a decent enough personality. So why Harold?"
"The two bonded during Season 1, as both were outcasted after the fear challenge." Katie said.
Meanwhile
At a concession stand, Owen was shown with some spare change, "I should have the money for the pretzel." Owen said.
However much to Owen and the viewers watching the episode at home's confusion, a female voice that didn't belong to anyone competing spoke up. "Oh my gosh, are you Owen from Total Drama?" The assumed superfan asked. "I'm such a fan; can I have an autograph?"
"Actually, I was just needing money for the pretzel I wanted." Owen explained. "Do you have any money?"
"Of course I do." The superfan said as she took money for Owen to pay. "Oh, and by the way, my name is Priya." Priya said. "You're my inspiration as I applied for the show and got cut for this season."
"Awe, I'm so happy that I got to be an inspiration to someone." Owen said as he and Priya took their seats.
Back on-stage Harold was just finishing his song "Must be doing something right" Harold sang as the song came to a close. "What'd you think?"
"I hate to admit it, but solid job Harold. It's kind of shocking that you're able to turn a song meant to be sexy and was at least somewhat convincing. It's an 8 from me. What does Blaineley think?"
"It was good. Nothing amazing. But good. Maybe stay away from that genre of music though. It's a 7" Blaineley explained.
"Okay, next up is Kitty" Chris announced.
Holding Room
Back in the holding room, Kitty took a deep breath. "This is probably the most nervous I have felt." Kitty said to everyone, as she stood up, "But I know Cody will like this." Kitty further said as she revealed that she decided to dress herself up with lipstick, and a dress version of her shirt color. "Hey Bridgette, can you help me zip this up, as I have to hurry?"
As Bridgette and Kitty temporarily left the room. Geoff beamed up, "Okay I need to get someone to help me with my Hawaiian."
Everyone who was left in the room, in this case Sky, Tyler, Courtney, and Scott were dumbfounded by what Geoff just said. "Hawaiian?" Sky asked. "Why, if you don't mind?"
"No, I don't mind, the song Bridgette and I are going to perform has it, and I know she especially has it memorized. But I want to shock her." Geoff explained.
Scott whispered over to Courtney, "Is he going to embarrass Bridgette? You've known him longer."
"I don't know Scott." Courtney said. "He just lost his best friend so who knows how he is feeling."
Backstage/Vents
Heather and Katie had made solid inroads within the vents, "Then Sadie said that Harold had a nice…" Katie said before trailing off. "What is it?"
"Be quiet!" Heather whispered, "I have eyes on Noah and Julia."
The camera shifted from the vents to backstage, "Once again, I'm not sabotaging Trent out." Noah declared.
"With today's challenge, Sky is out if we lose. Trent can out-sing her, and both Jo and Alejandro hate each other and will provide good television for Chris." Julia stated as Noah knew deep down that Julia was right and that if they did lose, Sky would be in way too much danger.
"Okay so what are we sabotaging together then?" Noah asked as Julia shook her head no. "What do you mean no?"
"You're the only one sabotaging, give Trent's guitar a good tune up, and this secret is safe with me." Julia claimed. "Otherwise, Sky is gone tonight."
"You're insane." Noah protested, as Julia walked away. Both however were unaware of the fact that Heather and a now shocked Katie overheard the whole conversation. "Should I go through with this?" Noah asked as he walked off.
Katie was almost too stunned to even talk. Before an idea came to her mind. "I remember seeing a room backstage, that was a spare. If Trent left his guitar there, that would be the most likely." Katie explained. "Look, I know my sense of direction is horrible. But trust me. If I make us land in the wrong room, you don't even have to work with me anymore." Katie offered.
Heather wasn't thrilled about the idea of having Katie lead, but they needed to see if Noah would actually go through with it. "Lead the way, Katie."
On Stage
Back on the stage, Kitty had made her way to perform. "Today I will do a cover of Taylor Swift's "Our Song". Kitty said as she began looking in the audience for her boyfriend Cody. "This is dedicated to my boyfriend, Cody."
Lindsay had a look of pure glee, "Oh my gosh this song is one I absolutely love." Lindsay said. As the song began to sing, Lindsay turned to Millie, "Come on Millie. Sing along with me."
Damien however, looked confused. "What even is this song? I've never heard of this at all."
However, at that point Millie and Lindsay were singing together, "Our song is the slamming screen door, sneaking out late tapping on your window." Lindsay and Millie sang in the crowd.
Damien, still didn't know the lyrics, decided to look on stage, and noticed something. "Kitty's losing confidence." Damien observed.
Damien was right, Kitty was still singing the song, but instead of a joyful exterior, Kitty was looking sad. "Got to the hallway, well on my way to my loving bed." Kitty sang, but the passion was diminishing.
Confessional- Kitty
"When I was performing this song, I was looking for Cody." Kitty said, before tearing up, "But no matter where I looked, I couldn't find him no matter how hard I tried." Kitty said as she sobbed for a second. "Where was he?"
Backstage
The scene went backstage, as Cody was shown with a bouquet of flowers, looking around urgently, "Where the heck are Mickey and Kitty?" Cody asked himself. Cody didn't know that Kitty was performing as he immediately left the stadium to buy a bouquet of flowers. However, at that moment he had another issue, "Oh no! Bathroom!" Cody said in a panic. "But I can't risk these getting stolen." Cody told himself as he was now running around for a bathroom.
As luck would have it though, he ran into his teammate, "Hey Cody. Oh, you don't look good. What's wrong?" Zoey said, noticing Cody's worried look.
"I have to go to the bathroom. Look, have you seen Kitty or Mickey?" Cody asked, unaware he mentioned Mickey as the flowers he bought were meant for Kitty.
"Yeah, I can bring the flowers to them, if that is what you're hinting at?" Zoey asked as Cody nodded his head.
"Thank you, Zoey, there for Kitty or Mickey." Cody said, as he once again said Mickey's name not realizing what he was going to cause down the road. "You're the best." Cody said as he handed the flowers to Zoey and took off like a rocket.
Makeup Room
Zoey had made her way back to a makeup room, the room was nothing special, as it had a single mirror, scissors, and the basic makeup supplies. This room was the one however Mickey wanted to talk with Topher and Zoey in. "I hope Cody is doing okay." Zoey told herself, as she looked back at Mickey and Topher. "Did you guys find what you needed to?" Zoey asked both of them.
"Yep, I found the razor." Topher said as he showed an electric razor in his hand. "Are you sure you want to do this Mickey?" Topher asked Mickey, looking unsure.
Mickey was nervous but took a huge deep breath. "I can't live my life with regrets." Mickey told Topher and Zoey.
Topher however still looked unsure and decided to speak up. "If I am going to give you this 'makeover transformation' as you have dubbed it. Zoey and I deserve to know the truth on why you're doing this." Topher demanded.
Mickey now was very unsure, as this would be the first time admitting to others that weren't a camera or himself about his attraction to Cody, and his sexuality at large. But with Zoey and even Topher, Mickey felt like he could trust them "Fine, but what I am about to say, cannot leave this room, unless I approve of it."
Both Topher and Zoey nodded their heads, both thrown off by Mickey's serious demeanor, "Mickey, what's wrong?" Zoey asked. "Is everything okay?"
"Okay, the first thing is. I am gay. I've known it my whole life deep down. But I never told anyone until now." Mickey explained. Mickey expected, hate, ridicule, or for one of Zoey or Topher to shame him right then and there. But neither looked shocked at all. "What? Isn't this shocking?"
"No, not really." Topher said flatly. "I remember back in Hawaii you were checking me out."
Mickey blushed red immediately, "I never did that." Mickey denied.
Hawaiian Beach
Flashback
The episode showed a flashback, the screen beginning to show an evening Hawaiian sky, as Mickey and Topher narrated over the scene, "When was this?" Mickey asked.
"It was after the Anne Maria and Cody fight. Anne Maria wanted time by herself to cool down." Topher explained, as the scene picked up the audio from the actual scene.
Mickey and Topher had both decided to leave Cody and Anne Maria time to cool down. Both were thrilled to win, but with their closest allies, wanting to rip the other's head off. Mickey and Topher could only be so happy. "That was so awkward." Mickey said.
"Agreed, I had to let Anne Maria calm down by herself. She is scary when she is angry, and I am dating her." Topher halfway joked and laughed.
"I am doing the same with Cody." Mickey said, before realizing how that came across. "Not that Cody and I are dating like you are with Anne Maria. He's with Kitty, and I am looking elsewhere." Mickey lied, as at this point his crush for Cody had begun reaching a boiling point for himself.
"I understand." Topher said, as he looked out at the red sunset. "I am going to see if I can work on my tan, even if the sun is probably around for maybe another hour at most." Topher told Mickey, as he took off his shirt, and Topher was in Mickey's eyes good looking, even if not his type as much as Cody was. As Topher laid down looking against the beach, he noticed Mickey looking frozen as a statue. "What's wrong?"
"N-nothing. Can I uh join you?" Mickey asked meekly as Topher nodded.
The voiceover from the present came back with Topher's voice being heard "I saw you stuttering when I took my shirt off. So, I knew something was different about him, as I do think I know when someone checks me out."
Back in Hawaii, as both Topher and Mickey were tanning shirtless, Topher looked over to Mickey "Hey Mickey, are you okay? Are you hiding something?" Topher asked Mickey.
Mickey provided the next voiceover "I was freaked out and just wanted to stay quiet. I was already nervous, tanning and being shirtless since I never had a high opinion of my outer beauty, and I thought if I said nothing, you wouldn't think of anything regarding me."
End of Flashback
Makeup Room
The scene went back to the present, Mickey looked down in the mirror and continued, as Zoey spoke up. "Why were you so freaked out? Topher is a nice guy, and doesn't judge, right Topher?" Zoey asked.
"I don't judge Mickey. It's been great getting to know you." Topher said, as he wanted to uplift Mickey's spirits.
Mickey wanted to appreciate Topher's words, but he just sighed in sadness. "I just have a lot of shame about myself. My family doesn't know I am gay, not even my twin brother, Jay and he tells me everything. But the saddest thing is that I already outed myself as gay before this." Mickey said near tears.
"How did you out yourself?" Topher asked Mickey in concern.
"This is the thing that can't leave this room. Topher and I heard the vents move earlier, so.." Mickey said as he picked up a broomstick, "If anyone is there, get the hell out!" Mickey yelled out. Luckily for them, the people in the vents Katie and Heather were long gone. "Okay no one is here except us. In Dubai, when Cody and I were supposed to wash the windows, I had a panic attack. Cody eventually calmed me down. We had an argument, and then in absolute haste, I kissed him." Mickey confessed.
Zoey looked excited at the news, "Oh, that's great!" Zoey said before looking over to Topher. "Oh." Zoey said as she realized what this actually meant.
"Yeah, Mickey kissed a guy, who is dating a girl and is probably straight." Topher explained to Zoey. "This is bad for Mickey."
"Yeah." Mickey said, as he then remembered a detail he left out of the incident. "The thing that is the most bizarre is that he kissed me back in Dubai, and I thought he enjoyed it." Mickey explained. "Now I am left just confused."
Topher then noticed something, "Okay this has been bugging me since you came back Zoey. What are the flowers for?" Topher asked. "They can't be for Courtney and Scott's performance."
"They aren't." Zoey told both of them. "Cody bought them, and he said they were for Kitty or Mickey, and since Kitty is still performing, they are probably meant for Mickey." Zoey said.
"Could be a sign buddy, he may like you back but not ready to admit it." Topher told Mickey.
"Maybe." Mickey said as he sighed. "Okay now that I have told you both everything. Can we get this makeover started with?" Mickey asked.
"No problems. No regrets Mickey, right?" Topher asked back. "You ready?"
"No regrets. Let's do this!" Mickey said as the scene blacked out and away, as Mickey's physical appearance would change to what he wanted it to be.
On Stage
Back on the stage of the actual challenge, was Kitty as she was wrapping up the song "I was riding shotgun, with my hair undone in the front seat of his car. I grabbed a pen; an old napkin and I wrote down our song." Kitty sang as she sighed. "Where are you, Cody?"
Neither Chris nor Blaineley looked impressed. "Kitty you can sing pretty well, but that song needs a fun passion, and by the end it felt like you were remembering a past love, and not a current one. As such, you get a 6 from me." Blaineley said.
"Look I am not going to beat around the bush, it was lazy and uninspired. Kitty, it's a 5 from me." Chris bluntly said.
Confessional- Kitty
"Ugh! I could have done so much better. But when Cody is nowhere to be seen, it is very discouraging. My new boyfriend can't even be there to support me." Kitty then shuddered in disgust. "I hope I don't sound like Anne Maria, but my point stands"
Back To Scene
"Next up is Jo and Alejandro." Chris announced. "This should be some good tv."
Holding Room
"Don't step in my way, Latin lover boy." Jo told Alejandro as they were leaving.
"Right back at you." Alejandro threatened back.
Bridgette was now looking nervous as Geoff was nowhere to be seen after she returned, "Where's Geoff?" Bridgette asked, as she turned to Courtney "Did Geoff at least say what he was doing?" Bridgette asked.
"He said he had to practice something by himself." Courtney told Bridgette, not revealing the Hawaiian aspect.
"I wonder if he is mad at me and figured out, I voted Brody out last night." Bridgette asked out loud, "He may be doing this as payback." Bridgette worried.
On Stage
Jo and Alejandro had taken the stage, both glaring at each other, "What is the song you two besties will be singing?" Blaineley asked.
"We are singing a cover of Johnny Cash's "God's Gonna Cut You Down" sung as a duet as a twist as it is against each other, and god is not mentioned." Jo explained.
"Oh, this should be fun. Try not to kill each other and hit it!" Chris demanded.
As the song began to play, Jo and Alejandro marched towards opposite ends of the stage, as the song picked up with Jo singing in a dark and sinister tone, "You can run on for a long time, run on for a long time, run on for a long time, but sooner or later I will cut you down. Sooner or later, I will cut you down." Jo sang as she began stepping towards Alejandro.
Alejandro was the next one to sing, "Jo you're a long tongue liar."
Jo retorted back instantly, "You're like the midnight rider, so tell the rambler, the gambler, and the backstabber, that sooner or later I am going to cut you out. Sooner or later, I am going to cut you out." Jo sang as the lines rambler went to Lindsay for her talking, the gambler line went to Ezekiel in the crowd, and the backstabber line went to Millie for betraying Damien during the last elimination. All three however were completely transfixed by the performance.
Alejandro's part was next as he sang. "Well, my good gracious let me tell you all the news. My head has been set with the lies that she (Jo) spews." Alejandro sang, "I've been down on bended knee, yet no one on our team will talk to me. Yet my voice weeps. Maybe this game will shuffle on its feet, and someone will call my name, as long as they will do my will." Alejandro coldly continued.
"Go on, be a long tongue liar, the midnight rider, maybe you can take the rambler, gambler, and backstabber with you, as sooner than later I will cut you out." Jo sang, back to Alejandro, not feeling an ounce of sympathy.
Crowd
In the crowd was Duncan and Gwen, both finally enjoying a song "Best song by far. I still maintain my scene is more of a punk rock scene." Duncan said. Duncan then got hit by a wad of paper, Gah! When I find who did this, they're dead." Duncan threatened.
Gwen rolled her eyes, "Duncan just read the note. It is probably a prank." Gwen said.
Duncan obliged, "Okay it says, 'meet me backstage, I need your help, Geoff". Duncan read out. "What would Geoff need my help with?" Duncan asked.
"Don't know, but I am coming with you." Gwen said. "Geoff has been acting weird today. I am shocked he didn't say anything on the taxi ride to the airport."
Vents
Back in the vents, Heather and Katie were leaning over an air duct looking down, and had been there for 10 minutes, "That has to be his guitar. I can recognize it anywhere." Katie said as the camera showed a guitar sitting there.
"We've been here for 10 minutes, Noah backed out." Heather whispered over to Katie. "I'm out of here." Heather said, but at that moment a door down below the vent opened and two shadows appeared.
"What are they doing here?" Katie very quietly whispered over to Heather.
Heather also was shocked, and also whispered quietly, "I don't know. This doesn't make any sense." Heather quietly said.
On Stage
Back on stage, Jo and Alejandro had just finished the song and were glaring daggers at each other. "Really good performance I will say. It's an 8 from me." Blaineley declared.
"I love the anger and hate you both have for each other." Chris beamed. "It's a 9 from me." Chris announced. "Next up is Tyler!"
"Scores are the following, Team Style is at 17, Amazon is at 11, and Victory is at 15." Blaineley announced. "Can Team Amazon make a comeback?"
Confessional- Alejandro and Jo
Both were standing and still giving angry looks to each other, "I guess we work best when we absolutely hate each other." Jo said.
"Yep, I still hate you, and if we lose tonight, I still may vote you out Jo." Alejandro told Jo.
"Likewise, I know I am voting you out." Jo threatened back.
Control Room
Back in the control room Tyler cheered out, "I've got this." Tyler however was still his clumsy self and tripped and crashed out of the room.
Everyone who was left in the room, that being Sky, Bridgette, Courtney, and Scott cringed at the sight. As Bridgette spoke up, "Okay I am not going to ask about Geoff, but is anyone else wondering where Trent is? He hasn't even appeared once with us here."
"He's probably with Jen in the crowd, gossiping about her future wedding dress. Hoping he is the groom." Scott said, not really caring about Trent, but also reading Trent for what he was actually doing.
Streets of Oulu, Finland
In downtown Oulu, Finland, Trent was shown speed walking through the sidewalk, "Jen? Jen?! Where are you?" Trent pleaded out loud. "Where could she be? I have checked every boutique store in the area." Trent asked himself, before an idea popped in his head. "Wait a minute, Jen said if she ever feels down or uninspired she goes towards more dark fashion stores like gothic wear." Trent told himself, and as such, he rushed over to a store that had more gothic, and edgy clothes on display. As soon as he saw that store, he also saw Jen. "Jen, oh my gosh, it is so great to see you." Trent beamed.
Jen, however, didn't even turn to face Trent, "Leave me alone Trent." Jen said coldly.
"No." Trent instantly said back. "You're my best friend here. Something's bugging you. What's wrong?" Trent asked.
Jen then sighed, "Well my top is now all sweaty." Jen complained. "Nothing more than that." Jen said.
"Oh, come on Jen, you and I both know that's not true." Trent said, as he was now gravely concerned for Jen and her wellbeing.
"I'm just worried." Jen told Trent, as she finally faced Trent. "When I found out you were going to be one of the four people competing today. I just worry, we'll be separated." Jen said, as a tear formed in her eye.
"Well now you know how I felt when Justin left." Trent joked, before getting his composure back. "I get it, but I'll be fine no matter what. You always do great in the challenges."
Jen rolled her eyes, "I suck at these challenges. Let's see I failed in New York. I was awful in Morocco. A frog got my hair wet in Paris the first time and ruined it as a result."
"Your hair is perfect." Trent said, trying to uplift Jen's spirits.
Trent's complement however failed to make Jen happy. "The Iceland challenge is one I cost. Heck my best performance was in Brazil, and I couldn't get our team into first class." Jen continued.
"You were the best part of that challenge." Trent said.
"In Germany, I sat out of the first part of the challenge, and I didn't do anything special in the slap fight. The one challenge I did well in, Dubai. I did well, because talking to people comes naturally to me." Jen finished off. "If you leave tonight. I'm going to have no allies and will be the obvious weak link."
"Jen, you're acting like I am already out. I'm still here." Trent reassured Jen. "I get that you're worried about the future. But I have seen great things out of you." Trent said. "You're amazing, determined, beautiful, and, oops!" Trent said, realizing that he finally spilled the beans on how he actually felt about Jen.
Jen was also stunned, "Trent did you just call me beautiful?" Jen asked. "Because there is something I would like to say."
"I mean, you're absolutely gorgeous. I just don't want the target of a showmance on our backs. But Jen you've made me feel genuine happiness. I also know that you're out of my league as a guy like me-" Trent said, babbling on and on until Jen kissed him. "Wha, what?" Trent stammered.
"I like you too. Trent, you have been my rock since the game started. I definitely didn't expect to fall in love. But I did." Jen told Trent.
"If you like me, why didn't you tell me earlier?" Trent asked.
Jen chuckled at Trent's perplexed state of mind. "For the same reasons as you, silly. I didn't know if you felt the same way." Jen explained. "That and I don't have the best dating history at all. So many of my relationships were based around how I looked but would end as the guys were dumb as rocks." Jen said, chuckling again. "But with you. Trent you are good looking, and unlike those guys. You're a lot smarter and more sophisticated than those guys back home."
"Thanks." Trent shyly said. "Look, our team is probably wondering where we are, so we should head back." Trent said. "But if you don't mind, can I ask, you've never said anything about your family." Trent said.
"Well, my mom is a fashion model, or a former one. She is the inspiration for why fashion is my life." Jen said. "Okay Mr. Boyfriend. Gosh I could get used to saying that. What's your plan after the show whether you win or lose?" Jen asked.
"First thing I want to do is get myself a sick tattoo. Permanent too." Trent exclaimed. "I don't know the style, though."
"Ooh I know. Tom raves back home about New School style." Jen exclaimed as the camera ended the scene with the now happy couple, walking back to the stadium.
On Stage
Back on-stage Tyler was still singing, the performance was intriguing as Tyler despite his clumsy nature, had managed to keep his balance, and while he was singing, his voice had improved. "Delicate, because I like you. Yeah, I want you. Isn't it delicate?" Tyler closed the song. [1]
"Tyler you're singing has improved, and I felt the passion. Blaineley and I agree. It's a 7 from both of us. Team Victory is at 29. So next up is Courtney and Scott."
Holding Room
Back in the holding room, Courtney and Scott were getting ready. "Good luck." Sky told the duo.
"Geez thanks." Scott sarcastically stated, "Already enough nerves."
After the duo left, the only ones left were Bridgette and Sky in terms of people waiting in the holding room. "He's rude." Sky said, as Bridgette was reaffirmed in her suspicions about Scott,
"Where the heck is Trent, or Mickey or for my sake Geoff." Bridgette wondered out loud.
"I'm nervous." Sky told herself. "I need Noah here for a pep talk."
"Noah? He is not the singing type at all, and he can't help you." Bridgette said.
"I just need him on stage for a confidence boost. Nothing more." Sky explained.
On Stage
Courtney and Scott had made their way to the stage, "Scott and I will be singing a duet of 'Born To Fly' by Sara Evans." Courtney explained. "Hit it!"
"I can do this." Scott told himself. "I can do this,"
Courtney began singing, "I've been telling my dreams to the people, of all the places that I'd like to see." Courtney sang the opening verse. "I say, do you think I'll ever get there."
Scott then sang the next part, "Oh but they just stand by and give her nothing but false entities." Scott sang. "I've got this." Scott told himself, as his confidence kept on being shaky.
"So I confessed my sins to the sky, and wondered about the love I've been praying to find. Is there a blue eyed boy in my future?" Courtney sang and asked Scott rhetorically.
"Yet all we're left with is all this future time." Scott sang.
Holding Room
While the country-bluegrass song continued on, Sky was shown pacing back and forth, "I'm not the singing type at all."
"Well, I'm not either." a voice said, as Sky turned to see it was Noah. "I assume you needed my help."
Sky was elated with joy, "Oh thank goodness you're here." Sky said as she hugged Noah. "I have the song in mind, but I need your help, not that you can sing." Sky said. "I just need you to react to the lyrics, accordingly, should help my performance stand out."
"Of course, Sky." Noah said, before he slouched over. "Just want to get today over with." Noah said, which caught both Sky and Bridgette off guard.
On-Stage
Back on the main stage, Scott was taking the second verse of the song "My papa he is grounded like an oak tree, while my mamaw is steady as the sun." Scott sang, before he began tearing up. "Oh, you know I love my folks, but I keep staring down the road, looking for my one chance to run." Scott sang in near tears, as he had his homelife in the back of his mind.
Courtney immediately picked the song back up, "I will fly away like the blackbird, I will fly in the wind like a seed, I am going to plant my heart in the garden of my dreams." Courtney sang.
Scott was next, "I will grow up and will wander wild and free." Scott sang, as both began to sing the chorus.
In the audience, Ezekiel and Harold noticed Scott's demeanor, and while neither had ever been on a team with him, it caught both off guard "Why is Scott so emotional eh?" Ezekiel asked. "This guy has never shown a soft side at all."
"Probably has something to do with his family, as the song has mentioned." Harold observed, as Harold was right but not in the way he thought.
Right next to Harold and Ezekiel were their teammates Millie and Lindsay, "This performance is so cute." Lindsay said. "As much as I hate to admit this as I can't stand Courtney, her and Scott would make a cute couple."
"After getting broken up on public television in Jamaica, by Duncan. She probably deserves it." Millie said, as she took a mental note of the performance to write about in her journal.
The song soon wrapped up, as Courtney took a deep breath "How was it?"
"Cute, fun, and strangely romantic. I will give it a 9." Blaineley stated.
"Look as much as I can't stand you Courtney, objectively it was solid. You and Scott get an 8." Chris said.
"Yes, this is great Scott!" Courtney said, before realizing that Scott was nowhere in sight. "Scott? Where are you?" Courtney asked as she walked off stage.
"Okay that leaves the scores as Team Amazon at 28, Team Victory is at 29, and Team Style is up and are at 17. So, they need a 13 to overtake the lead." Blaineley announced.
Holding Room
Noah and Sky were looking at each other, with Noah trying to encourage Sky,"Are you ready for this, Sky?" Noah asked.
"As ready as I can be. I am glad you wanted to also help me out." Sky said. "Your friendship means a lot to me." Sky said, making Noah heartbroken, she still looks at him as a friend.
Crowd
Back in the stands, Owen was getting to know the superfan Priya, he had found out how her parents are reality television junkies, and how if she were to date a Total Drama contestant, it would be a bigger version of Justin. Before Owen could reply, the superfan noticed Sky on stage, "She's one of the new contestants, right?" Priya asked as Owen nodded his head. "Anything interesting about her?"
"Well, she's my teammate and outside of that one girl earlier Jo, she is probably the strongest woman in the game." Owen explained. "Also, she is very close to my little buddy Noah." Owen said, before noticing Noah on stage with Sky. "Speaking of which, there's my little buddy." Owen said. "Go Team Style!" Owen cheered out.
"Noah is in the cast?" Priya asked. "He is a huge fan favorite online, and on the discussion forums."
"Yeah, and Noah is my best friend. We've been through a lot together." Owen said, before looking and noticed that Noah didn't look happy at all. "Noah doesn't look happy, and he looks kind of guilty. What's wrong little buddy?" Owen asked himself.
Priya, who wasn't listening to Owen's worries, was instead geeking out. "This is the greatest day of my life!" she said enthusiastically.
On Stage
"I am going to sing a song titled 'Girls Lie Too'." Sky explained to the judges."Noah here is not going to sing, but will react to the lines said, and add some humor to the performance."
"I will allow it." Blaineley said. "Begin!"
Backstage
Meanwhile backstage, Heather and Katie had just made their way out of the vents, "That might be the grossest thing I have ever done." Heather said.
"Worse than licking jelly out of Owen's belly button?" Katie asked.
"Let me rephrase that. Grossest thing that doesn't involve Owen." Heather responded back.
At that moment, Duncan and Gwen walked in on the duo, with both of them wearing swimwear, "What are you two doing?" Katie asked.
"I could ask the same for you two." Duncan retorted. "We just saw both of you leave the air vents here, so why were you two in those?"
Before Heather could respond, Katie spoke up "I was looking for a tube of lipstick that fell in the vents, and Heather decided to help instead of watching the performances." Katie said, lying through her teeth. Duncan and Gwen left, and Katie turned her head to a shocked Heather. "What, did I do something wrong?"
"I am just shocked that you stone cold lied to both of them. Why?" Heather asked.
"Well Duncan doesn't need to know what we are up to, and I don't trust Gwen at all." Katie explained. "I just have a bad feeling she was the one who screwed Ella over and sent her home when we were in Romania." Katie further said.
On Stage
Back on the stage, Sky was singing the chorus, as Noah had responded to the lyrics so far accordingly, "Girls lie too. I don't care how much money you'll make." Sky sang.
"I'm broke, so it's nothing." Noah quipped back.
"I don't care what you drive or what you weigh. Size doesn't matter anyway." Sky sang back, laughing internally at Noah's humor.
"Oh no." Noah said covering himself up as a joke. "My ego is destroyed." Noah sarcastically said.
Confessional- Noah
"Whenever I am with either Sky or Owen, it's the best. Sky especially helps me bring out a more fun side." Noah said as he sighed in happiness. "I know she sees me as nothing more than a friend, but I know there's more to us. I just need to figure out how to show that to Sky."
Crowd
Back in the crowd Lindsay and Millie were enjoying the show, but the sentiment of lying was now on Lindsay's mind. "Hey Millie?" Lindsay asked.
"Yeah, what's up Lindsay?" Millie asked, before noticing Lindsay's distressed face. "You look like you're thinking."
"Millie, you're always honest, and honest with me, right?" Lindsay asked. "It's just after everything with Tyler, it's hard to, what's the word I'm looking for?"
"Trust." Millie responded.
"Yeah, trust anyone here. You aren't lying to me, right?" Lindsay asked back.
Millie was stunned that Lindsay asked her, "Lindsay, we just made this Final 2 deal. I am not going to betray you. You're a great friend to me, I promise."
Confessional- Millie
"Lindsay is my best friend, but-" Millie said before pulling out her journal, "Writing is my passion. But I've decided to stop writing about Lindsay. I still have her section here." Millie said, showing a section of journal that had Lindsay's name on the front. "Ever since Jamaica, I've only written positive stuff about Lindsay."
On Stage
On stage the song had ended as Sky and Noah hugged. However, before Sky could properly thank him, Julia could be heard offscreen, "Noah, we need to talk. Now!" Julia told Noah, as the sarcastic bookworm, reluctantly went to talk to her.
"Strange." Sky told herself. "What'd you think of my performance?"
"I appreciate the passion, and the choice to have Noah with you was really cute, but let's be blunt. We both know singing isn't in your future." Blaineley explained "It's a six from both of us which brings your total up to 29. Here's where we stand: Team Amazon you are at 28, while Style and Victory each have 29."
Confessional- Noah
"Sky and Owen bring out my fun side. Julia however makes this game so much more stressful." Noah lamented. "At times I wonder if Owen got the better deal since he only has Jo who is pretty straightforward."
Back On Stage
"Okay it's the final round of performers. First up is Bridgette and Geoff." Blaineley announced, however only Bridgette was shown on stage. "What the heck are you doing?"
Bridgette looked lost in space, and internally she felt the same. Geoff had left the holding room, real early in the challenge, and now Bridgette was panicking. Was Geoff about to publicly embarrass her? All Bridgette could mutter was "I don't know."
As luck would have it, Geoff came running on stage. Yet what he was holding, absolutely stunned Bridgette, as he had her (Bridgette) surfboard. "Nope I'm here dudes, I have a duet in mind, trust me."
Bridgette however was stunned beyond belief. Geoff didn't even seem mad at her. In fact, he seemed happy. "Geoff, what's going on?" Bridgette asked. "Is this some trick to humiliate me?"
"No babe, of course not." Geoff reassured Bridgette. "You're my girlfriend. Judges, the song we'll be singing is Hawaiian Rollercoaster Ride from Lilo and Stitch."
"Well Disney is going to sue our ass." Chris said to himself. "When you're ready you can begin."
Geoff leaned over to Bridgette, "Do you remember this song?"
All of Bridgette's anxiety and nervous feelings dissipated in an instant. "I remember Geoff. I can't believe you did this."
The song then began ad Geoff sang with a pure smile of joy on his face "Aloha e aloha e 'Ano 'ai ke aloha e Aloha ae aloha e A nu ay ki aloha e" Geoff sang in perfect Hawaiian, stunning the audience.
Crowd
Back in the audience, Ezekiel and Harold were standing together, and both absolutely loved the performance. "This is so cool to watch." Harold gushed. "I love Lilo and Stitch."
"Oh my gosh, me too." Ezekiel said smiling from ear to ear. "Could you imagine, if Stitch was real? Dangerous but, eh. I'd want him."
"Me too. But Leshawna would be so freaked out. She resonated more with Lilo's sister Nani." Harold explained. "I hated Myrtle. Has hair color as me, yet acted worse than Heather."
"Ooh remember eh, in the second one when Lilo beat her up. I watch that scene on replay as much as I can, eh." Ezekiel said as he and Harold bonded over the show and movies, with both letting their guard down with the other.
On Stage
Back on the main stage, Geoff had taken the male vocal leads, while Bridgette took the children part of the song, both enjoying themselves, with Duncan and Gwen now appearing on stage mimicking surfers. "There's no place I'd rather be." Geoff sang.
"Then with my surfboard out at sea." Bridgette sang back.
Bridgette and Geoff continued singing, but the show editors had to cut the rest of the song out, so the Disney producers didn't contact their lawyers and file a lawsuit. During one of the instrumental breaks however, Geoff noticed Bridgette still had a look of sadness all over her face. "Babe, what's wrong?" Geoff asked.
"I just don't think I deserve this. Geoff, I voted Brody out." Bridgette confessed as she felt very guilty and couldn't keep it in anymore. "I figured you were going to humiliate me."
"Bridgette, I don't care. Here's a secret that Brody told me after the first challenge. He only applied for me. It was amazing having him here. But we both knew eventually we'd get split up." Geoff said.
"Thanks babe. Geoff, I know I haven't been the best girlfriend. But I want to say that I do genuinely love you." Bridgette said. "I also want to be back together if that's okay."
Geoff was over the moon excited, "That's all I ever wanted to hear babe. I love you." Geoff said as they soon finished the song inaudible for the TV viewers due to Disney.
Backstage
While Geoff and Bridgette were finishing their performance, the camera picked up backstage, and showed Topher and Zoey carrying a curtain, with Mickey walking right behind it and obstructing his face. "Are you happier Mickey after the makeover Topher gave you?" Zoey asked.
"Yep, when I am introduced, drop the curtain so I can show everyone the new me." Mickey confidently said, even if one couldn't see he had a confidence boost.
Topher was also gleaming with confidence and happiness, "This is probably the favorite thing I have done this whole entire game." Topher said happily. "Also, Mickey, I just want to say, it's great to get to know the real you."
"Thanks Topher. Thank you both so much." Mickey said as he was preparing himself mentally for his performance and could also tell that they would make a much better couple than Anne Maria and Topher.
On Stage/Audience
"Okay that was really cool." Blaineley gushed. "19 points for you guys between Chris and I."
Meanwhile back in the audience, Julia was with many of her teammates, mainly Jo, Alejandro, and Bowie. "I really hope Trent's gonna show up." Julia said, faking concern.
"What are you talking about?" Bowie said, not exactly listening to Julia.
"I was backstage with Noah, after Sky's performance and he and I searched." Julia continued on. "We couldn't find him at all, and Jo he wasn't with you guys in the holding room, right?"
"No, he wasn't, why would he be gone for so long." Jo wondered, as she, Alejandro, Bowie, and Julia left the stands.
The camera then shifted over to Kitty who was sitting by herself, until her boyfriend Cody showed up. "Hey Kitty."
"Hey Cody." Kitty responded dejectedly. "What's up?"
"I…. wait, why are you acting so mopey?" Cody asked.
Kitty looked shocked that Cody was stunned right now. "Why am I upset?" Kitty asked, almost offended. "Cody when I performed earlier tonight, you were nowhere in the audience. Where were you, if you don't mind?" Kitty asked.
Cody was completely thrown off by Kitty's behavior in his eyes. "I went to get you flowers before the challenge started." Cody explained. "Just a big romantic gesture."
Kitty was instantly relieved, "Aw Cody, that's so sweet. So where are the flowers?" Kitty asked.
"Heh heh, you're joking right?" Cody asked back. "You should have them."
"No, I don't." Kitty said. "Are you joking about this flower thing?"
Cody was now stunned, "I handed them to Zoey about an hour ago and told her they were for you." Cody explained.
Before Cody and Kitty could continue, both were stunned and confused, as was the audience. Instead of Mickey, Topher and Zoey were shown carrying the curtain. Chris however was not amused. "Is this some kind of sick joke and mockery of the show?"
"No, of course not Mr. McLean." Topher explained. "We just are here to unveil the new Mickey."
"The new Mickey?" Cody asked, confused.
"I'm ready to show the new Mickey. Drop the curtain!" Mickey yelled out. The curtain dropped, and everyone was stunned at how Mickey looked. His helmet he had worn since the beginning of the competition was gone. Mickey knew his parents weren't going to be pleased he took off his helmet out in public. The next noticeable thing about Mickey was his hair, as Topher had trimmed Mickey's hair down. Not enough for a buzz cut, but just more than that, and Topher had decided to. Mickey had also opted for Topher's fashion suggestions and was wearing one of Topher shirts. As Mickey was wearing a dark navy long sleeve polo shirt, and a slightly lighter vest that Topher offered to give him. While it was a size too big, Mickey didn't mind. Mickey's makeover was complete with a pair of dark dress pants.
In the audience, no one was more stunned than Cody, he couldn't believe how Mickey looked and had a sense of pride as he was happy that Mickey was happy. But once again, without even thinking, Cody said something that part of him didn't intend to "Oh gosh he's hot." Cody said to himself. "Oh no. Hey Kitty, I-" Cody said, trying to backtrack from his first statement.
The good news for Cody was that Kitty didn't hear him. "What was that, Cody?" Kitty asked. However, she noticed Mickey had a bouquet of flowers in his hands. "Um, Cody? What type of flowers did you buy for me?"
"I bought you a dozen red roses, why?" Cody asked before looking on stage. "Uh oh. Kitty it's not what it looks like." Cody tried to say.
"You gave the flowers to Mickey!?" Kitty almost screeched out. "Are you kidding me? I need some time to myself, if you want to talk to me, I'll be outside the stadium." Kitty said standing up and practically running outside to calm herself down. Cody was left dumbstruck and looked back on stage at Mickey.
Back on stage, Chris spoke up "What is the song you will be singing Mickey?"
"I will be doing a cover of Kelly Clarkson's "Breakaway"." Mickey said. "Hit it!" Mickey confidently said.
"He's got this right?" Topher asked Zoey, as Zoey nodded. "I hope so, I really hope so."
Mickey began singing, and much to everyone's shock his voice was near flawless. He had a wide range of vocals, as the song began "Grew up in a small town, and when the rain would fall down, I'd just stare out my window. Dreaming of what could be, and if I'd end up happy, I will pray." Mickey sang, near flawlessly.
Topher and Zoey were watching backstage and while Zoey was in awe and was happy for her friend. Topher was shown near crying already from the performance, something Zoey noticed. "Topher are you okay?" Zoey asked.
Topher was still in tears, but got his composure back, "I'm fine. I'm fine." Topher said, lying to Zoey, but he was nowhere near ready to explain to anyone why he was crying with Mickey's performance.
In the crowd Lindsay was in awe like Zoey was, "I love this song." Lindsay cheered out.
Millie agreed, "Yeah I remember this from Princess Diaries, I loved that movie." Millie said.
Back on stage, Mickey had made it to the chorus, and sang it in his own way, but for the people watching in person and later on the audience back home, it was a sight to behold in the best ways, I'll spread my wings, and I'll learn how to fly. I'll do what it takes until I touch the sky. Make a wish, be the change, and Breakaway. I'm out of the darkness and into the sun, but I won't forget everyone that I love. I'll take a rush, make the change and break away." Mickey sang in a perfect tone, as despite not having all the lyrics right, Mickey was still stunning the audience.
Back in the audience, Cody was shown looking completely transfixed by the performance, "Amazing." Cody said, as he remained seated, unaware that he was hurting Kitty emotionally for not checking up on her.
Outside of The Stadium
Speaking of Kitty, she had made her way outside of the stadium, "I can't believe this is happening." Kitty said as she sat on the edge of the sidewalk and began crying "I probably look like the biggest idiot in the world. I finally got a boyfriend. Only for him to be more interested in another guy." Kitty told herself. "The warning signs were there. Heck, I thought by now he'd be out here."
At the same time as Kitty was crying, Ezekiel of all people walked out of the stadium to get some fresh air. "What a beautiful night eh." Ezekiel told himself. However, he all of a sudden heard crying "What's that sound, eh?"
Back with Kitty, she was still ranting to herself about her boyfriend, or at least now it was the other guy in Mickey. "I'm happy that Mickey is doing great on stage. But what do I do?" Kitty asked herself. "I guess I could confront Cody about why he has been acting weird, as it feels like ever since Dubai, something is wrong." Kitty continued on, before hearing a noise. "Hello? Who's there? Cody, is it you?" Kitty asked.
Ezekiel showed up and realized the noise was Kitty, "It's not Cody, just me eh. Is everything okay?"
"I'm fine, Ezekiel. Shouldn't you head back to your team?" Kitty asked.
"It's okay. I heard you crying. What's wrong?" Ezekiel asked back.
Kitty was unsure of whether to trust Ezekiel but given the fact that she was already in a bad mood and Ezekiel went out of his way to talk to her, Kitty decided to open up to him, "It's just Cody. You saw my performance earlier, right?" Kitty asked.
"Yeah, it was really good, eh. I like that song, eh." Ezekiel said. "But you didn't look happy while performing, what happened eh?"
"It was dedicated to Cody, but he was nowhere in sight." Kitty explained. "He told me that he went to get flowers, but the flowers he got were intended for Mickey and me. I just wonder if he is playing me." Kitty said, close to breaking down again.
"Here's what I think. My parents always told me growing up that whenever I have a bad day, just focus on tomorrow eh." Ezekiel explained. "Maybe today is a bad day but take it day by day with Cody."
"Thanks Ezekiel." Kitty said, before noticing Ezekiel starting to stand up, "Wait! If you don't mind, can we just be out here for the rest of the challenge." Kitty asked. Ezekiel looked down at Kitty and sat next to her. Both not saying anything, but both enjoying each other's company platonically.
Stage
Back on the stage, Mickey was performing, and it was electrifying as everyone watching could see the passion he had. Mickey looked like he was a rock star up there singing a power ballad. "Buildings with a hundred floors, swinging around revolving doors, maybe I don't know where this game will take me but, I've got to keep moving on, moving on, and fly away. As I break away." Mickey sang out.
Even the more cynical, and cruel contestants were impressed, "Little man has some serious skills. I'm impressed." Duncan said.
Mickey continued on as the final chorus kicked in, "I'll spread my wings and I will learn how to fly, though it's not easy to tell you goodbye."
However, Mickey saying it's not easy to tell someone goodbye resonated with Cody. "Please don't say goodbye Mickey." Cody told himself.
Confessional- Cody
"Look. I don't know what to think anymore. I don't know how Mickey got the flowers when I told her to give them to Kitty" Cody said before looking down. "But I also know that I want Mickey in my life as he is my best. I mean did you see his performance? It was amazing like he is." Cody gushed. "I just need to find a way to make sure Kitty's not mad at me about the flowers, while making sure Mickey doesn't leave me as a friend. Also make sure the kiss between Mickey and I never come out." Cody explained. "It's a lot but I can do it."
Back To Scene
Mickey was now finishing up the song on the "Breakaway!" Mickey closed. He then caught his breath. "Oh my gosh. Um what did you guys think?" Mickey asked meekly. What happened next absolutely stunned Mickey, everyone who watched the performance stood up, and gave Mickey a roaring applause and a standing ovation. "Wait what, really? Everyone liked it?" Mickey asked.
"Like it? Dude, I loved it." Chris exclaimed. "I am normally cynical, and don't give a fuck about the competitors but Mickey that was amazing. It's a 10 from me. Blaineley what say you?" Chris asked.
"Flawless, Mickey you need to not doubt yourself. The passion, the vocals, the stage presence, all of it was perfect." Blaineley exclaimed. "It's a 10 from me, and I wish I could go higher, as this was on par when I saw Michael Jackson in concert."
"Okay here's where we stand: Victory and Amazon are tied at 48 a piece, Team Style is at 29, so they need a perfect 20 to win the challenge." Chris announced, "Last up will be Trent."
Confessional- Mickey
"Wow, I mean wow. That performance was amazing, I did that performance to show the world that the true Mickey is here." Mickey chuckled. "I will say that I still have my sweatshirt, pants, and undies. The last of which I did change, but the cameras didn't show. Which is embarrassing that I am confessing to, but I don't care." Mickey said, pulling each out. "But I wanted to make sure Topher and Zoey gave me the makeover I wanted." Mickey explained. "This look is the new me. I'm leaving the helmet behind on the jumbo jet whenever it returns." Mickey then pulled out the helmet, "You represent the past me. I'm keeping you for mom's sake. But this is the past, and the future is me and…. Cody, with Kitty as our friend."
Audience
Back in the audience Owen and Priya had stood back down, with Owen feeling confident "If anyone could nail a singing challenge it would be Trent." Owen said. "The dude is very talented."
"I know. I am a huge fan of the Drama Brothers. I even watched their documentary." Priya gushed.
"Documentary?" Owen asked. "I never heard of a documentary."
"You should ask the Drama Brothers about it, I assume they are all still here." Priya assumed, before seeing Owen twiddling his fingers.
"Um, Justin was one of the last people eliminated. I actually voted him out." Owen said with a tinge of regret.
"You feel bad about voting Justin out, don't you?" Priya asked as Owen nodded his head. "You shouldn't, Justin will be your friend regardless, and I assume you want to win the money again?" Priya asked.
"More than anything, after the whole cheese cellar, mole debacle last season I want to win this season and money fair and square." Owen said. "It's just that betraying friends always hurts."
"It may hurt Owen, but a true friend would understand it is a game, and you had to advance yourself. You are a good guy. I assume that's why you won season one." Priya reassured Owen. "I know we just met, but promise me when this season is over, we will stay in touch? Here's my number." Priya said, handing Owen a small piece of paper.
"Thanks Priya, hug?" Owen asked, as he and Priya gave each other a hug, and unlike Noah's bear hugs he was gentle. Happy that he found a friend outside of the game.
Backstage
The people who were looking for Trent, were still looking, in Jo, Bowie, Alejandro, and a pretending Julia. Trent luckily showed up exhausted, "I'm here guys." Trent said.
"Dude where were you?" Jo asked. "We've been looking for you since Mickey performed."
"It's no big deal. I had to take care of something." Trent said, as he ran to where he left his guitar. "Okay guys I got this."
"I really hope he knows what he is doing." Jo said, unaware that Julia was smirking behind her.
On Stage/End of Challenge
Trent arrived on stage, with his guitar in hand and a confident smile, "Okay Trent. In order to win the challenge you need a perfect 20, and a 19 to tie with the other teams." Chris announced.
"Okay dudes, I got this." Trent declared, strumming his guitar, but something felt wrong. "What the hell?"
Confessional- Trent
"Never leave a guitar unattended."

The scene was now awkward as Trent was still trying to fix the guitar as it was out of tune and sounded horrible, and even one of the strings was destroyed, "Why is this thing acting up."
Chris then loudly coughed, "Look it has been at least 3 minutes since your guitar and since there is nothing to judge Trent it's a zero from me."
"I agree Trent, better luck next time." Blaineley said as Trent walked off stage awkwardly. "Which means Team Style, 10 of you will become 9 and remember the only people you can vote off tonight are Trent, Jo, Alejandro or Sky. One of these 4 will be sent home tonight and miss out on the big twist." Blaineley announced.
"One last announcement, Bridgette, Geoff, Harold, Tyler, Mickey, Kitty, Courtney and Scott all 8 of you have secured a spot in the Top 25. Congrats!" Chris finished the announcements.

Notes:
[1] Tyler's song is a cover of Taylor Swift's "Delicate" but since it was not released until the late 2010s it has to be presented as an original in this universe.
So instead of the air guitar battle, I decided to do a pure singing challenge. Having the challenge in a stadium was also to make it feel atmospheric.
The Priya cameo was great to do as I wanted to give Owen something to do while the challenge was going on. I also wanted her to have Owen not regret his game moves.
Final part has the elimination, where it is the most dramatic one yet, with tears, betrayal, and accusations. All leading to a twist at the end of the episode that no one will see coming.

(End Of Intro)
Backstage
The challenge had ended, and Team Style had lost, and all eyes were on Trent and how his guitar was ruined and how he cost the challenge. Right back in the backstage, everyone on Team Style sans Trent and Jen were shown waiting for Trent to show up after his performance, the only reason why Jen wasn't there was that she was mesmerized by some of the photos in the lobby of the stadium, and she also didn't want to see the aftermath of what just happened with Trent.
Trent however walked right into a firing squad metaphorically, "Hey guys." Trent awkwardly said.
"Dude what happened?" Duncan asked. Duncan wasn't even mad; he was just confused.
"That's just it, I don't know." Trent explained. "I grabbed my guitar, and it is out of tune, a string is missing, and I can't perform if my guitar is ruined, it's my new fear since I conquered mimes back in Season 1."
"Mimes?" Jo asked Owen in a whisper.
"I'll explain later." Owen told Jo. "That does make sense for you Trent."
"Did you at least double check your guitar before you went out?" Sky asked.
"I didn't think I had too. The song I was going to perform 'She Would Be Loved' is one I have memorized." Trent said. "Also, I was busy."
"Busy with what exactly?" Jo asked as she raised her eyebrows in suspicion.
"Busy with stuff, look I am sorry it happened, and I promise this won't happen again." Trent pleaded.
"Eh what the heck, I forgive you Trent." Owen cheered out.
However, one person didn't forgive Trent, and wanted to paint a larger target on his back, and a viewer at home would assume Julia would be the one to speak up, but nope, instead it was Alejandro, "Hang on a second Trent. Do you know where Jen was at the time during the challenge?" Alejandro asked.
"Yeah, I was with Jen the whole time, but her and I are still just friends." Trent lied about the latter part to not increase the target on his back.
"Huh that's weird." Julia said, "When you came rushing in for your guitar, it looked like you had a hickey on your neck."
"That's not true." Trent immediately defended himself. Lying as Jen did give him a hickey.
"I think it is." Julia said back. "Also, wouldn't shock me if you, in a rush to get your guitar, sabotaged it yourself to lose the challenge." Julia accused.
"That is absolute bullshit. I would never throw a challenge." Trent said. "What makes you think I would be so stupid to do something like that?"
"Didn't you throw challenges last season for your girlfriend or rather ex in Gwen?" Alejandro accused. "The shoe would fit amigo?"
"First of all, I am not your amigo Alejandro." Trent said. "Second of all, yes, I threw challenges for Gwen last season, but that doesn't mean anything. Gwen and I were on separate teams. Jen and I are on the same team. Why the fuck would I throw challenges for Jen when we are on the same team." Trent asked angrily, as his blood was boiling at this point.
"Okay, no need for vulgar language, my friend." Alejandro taunted Trent. "I can think of one main reason. Make yourself look like the hero." Alejandro accused. "You can spin this however you want Trent, but you cost us the challenge, and you deserve to go home." Alejandro said. All Trent could do is groan in frustration and walk away before he and Alejandro got into physical blows.
Confessional- Trent
"What happened? I finally felt like I had some life in this game when Jen and I got together. Now my guitar is ruined, and Alejandro and Julia at the very least want me dead. What the actual hell?"
Confessional- Alejandro
"I did what I had to do. Only four of us are vulnerable tonight and since I don't think I can get the votes on Jo or Sky. Trent was all that was left. I don't know who ruined his guitar, and I don't care. Anything I can do to survive another day in this game I will do."
Confessional- Sky
"I don't even know what to think anymore. Trent almost skipped out of the challenge or the near fight that Alejandro almost had with Trent. What stinks is that I am still vulnerable tonight. But after that whole blow up, I feel better."
Confessional- Julia
"Another player going home due to Moi." Julia bragged. "This vote could still be close since I know Trent, Jen, Owen, and Jo will all vote Alejandro out, but I have some tricks up my sleeve to make sure Trent is out of here." Julia continued bragging. "But you want to know the absolute best part, I didn't even sabotage Trent's guitar."
Flashback
The scene flashed back to around the time that Katie and Heather were about to leave the extra spare room, when Noah walked up. "I shouldn't be doing this. I shouldn't be doing this." Noah told himself. "But desperate times call for desperate measures."
"He's actually doing it." Katie silently told herself. "I can't believe it."
Noah turned his head towards the door, "Shut the door so no one can hear or see me do this." Noah instructed someone off screen.
Confessional- Noah.
"What has happened to my game?" Noah asked himself. "On the bright side, or really the only good thing was that I had someone watching guard that wasn't Julia. Hope I can trust them."
End of Flashback
Stadium Entrance
In front of the stadium was Alejandro and Julia, with Alejandro having a confident smirk, but Julia was not impressed "Listen here Alejandro." Julia said. "What you just pulled today, has put you back in danger."
"What did I pull? Senorita, Trent is the one going." Alejandro said.
"Trent has himself, Jen, Owen, and Jo all voting your ass out tonight. That's 4 and they only need 2 more." Julia explained. "But I have an idea and a plan, but I need you to put your damn pride aside and listen to me."
"Oh, really and what if I don't." Alejandro asked.
"Then I will be their fifth vote, and I guarantee you Sky will flip on you if she doesn't vote you out initially, so she doesn't end up having to go to rocks in a 50/50 shot of staying or leaving." Julia coldly stated. "Look, right now I need you to throw me under the bus to Bowie, say you are targeting me. He is the 5th vote we need to make sure it can at least get to a tie as I don't trust Sky will vote with us."
Alejandro was now completely baffled at what Julia was saying, "Wait throw you under the bus. Why?"
"Um earth to Alejandro, have you not noticed at all that Bowie hates me, and if you say you will target me. That incentivizes Bowie to keep you." Julia explained. "Get Bowie, and we have the votes, if not your fate is sealed."
Backstage
Meanwhile backstage, the group of 4 that was locked in on sending Alejandro home were talking, that being Owen and Jo along with the new couple of Trent and Jen. "Okay all of us are on board to send Alejandro home, right?" Trent asked.
"John Mayer, needs to relax." Jo sarcastically said. "I have wanted Alejandro gone since Morocco."
"I wish I could find Sky or Noah just so we have the majority." Owen said, looking around for both of them. "Has anyone seen them?"
"No, after the team meeting you, guys had. I didn't see them at all." Jen said. "Thank you, guys, for keeping Trent." Jen thanked Owen and Jo. "Can I have another kiss?" Jen asked as she and Trent kissed again.
Owen just awed at the situation. "That is so adorable."
Jo looked indifferent, "Pish, whatever." Jo said annoyed.
"Oh, come on Jo, you would do the same with Brick if he was still here." Owen teased. "I know you still miss him."
Jo sighed sadly, "I do miss him. I really do. Kind of embarrassing but he was my first kiss." Jo confessed. After that, the camera flashed and went static, and the elimination ceremony began right away.
Elimination Ceremony
Confessional- Alejandro
"In order for me to stay tonight, Trent you have to go. So long."
Confessional- Trent
"It's either you or me tonight, Alejandro. Just glad that everyone has seen the scheming side I have seen since Japan."
Confessional- Julia
"This vote is strategic. Trent." Julia declared. "Please have Alejandro not mess this up."
Confessional- Owen
"This vote is personal for me." Owen said. "For Izzy and Brick, tonight I vote out Al."
Confessional- Bowie
"I don't trust Alejandro, Trent is in a public couple, but this vote is for me and me alone. So that is why I vote for.."
Back To Ceremony
Everyone in Team Style was sitting in the bleachers right outside of the second challenge site, as Chris had a plate of 9 marshmallows. "The ten of you will become 9 tonight. First people safe are the ones that didn't compete in the second challenge. So Bowie, Noah, Julia, Owen, Jen, and Duncan you are all safe." Chris announced. "Now of the 4 of you this vote came down to two people, so Sky and Jo you are both safe." Chris announced handing out the 7th and 8th marshmallows. "The last marshmallow goes too…
…..
…..
….
…..
….
… neither of you, we have a tie." Chris announced.
"What?" everyone on Team Style said. No one was hoping for a tie.
"Okay first, everyone who voted out Alejandro sit to the left, and everyone who voted out Trent, sit on the right." Chris asked. On the left side was Owen, Jo, Jen, and Sky. While on the right side was Noah, Duncan, Bowie, and Julia. Sky and Owen were in absolute disbelief that Noha voted out Trent instead of Alejandro, and neither could comprehend it at all. "I do want to ask if anyone who is already immune wants to change their vote?"
Bowie stood up, "I am still undecided, so I want to know from both of you if you would take out Julia in the future with me." Bowie asked.
"Geeze, thanks Bowie." Julia said sarcastically. "Great friend you are."
"Oh, shut up." Bowie snarled.
In an instant, Alejandro stood up, "I want Julia out like I told you earlier. I even told Owen and Jo that I wanted her out as soon as possible."
"Wait what?" Sky asked, stunned.
Flashback
Another flashback happened as it was about 15 minutes before elimination, Alejandro walked up to Owen and Jo as Owen was talking to Jo, "I met this girl at the stadium." Owen explained. "She's a huge Total Drama superfan."
Jo then noticed Alejandro approach them, "What the hell do you want Alejandro?" Jo asked.
"Look I know that you guys are probably dead set against me. But I just want to say something." Alejandro began to say. "If you guys keep me, I will take out Julia with you guys. I know you guys don't trust me, but I also know you guys don't trust her."
Jo decided to give Alejandro some false hope, "We'll consider it." Jo said lying as Alejandro left. "We're not keeping him." Jo said.
End Flashback.
Confessional- Alejandro
"I knew I needed to make sure Bowie was fully convinced that I am willing to take Julia out." Alejandro explained. "I'm not for now." Alejandro said to make sure people knew this was a farce in terms of targeting Julia. "But if I had other people confirm I said it to them, it would keep Bowie on my side this vote. What better people than Jo and Owen, my two sworn enemies on the team."
Back To Present
After Alejandro's confession, everyone present turned their face right to Jo and Owen. "Yeah, we told Al we should get rid of Julia. But Jo and I thought we were just telling him what he wanted to hear." Owen defended himself. "Al should still leave tonight though!"
"My mind is made up. I am sticking with my vote for Trent." Bowie said.
"Okay the main two I need to ask are Sky and Jo. If neither of you flip, you will enter a rock draw where you stand a 50/50 shot of going home." Chris explained. "Jo you are up first."
"Everything in me is telling me to flip and send Trent home." Jo said. "But I am staying true to my word. I am not changing my vote and will put my own game on the line tonight, since I don't lie." Jo snarled at Julia and Noah.
"You're up Sky. What is your choice?" Chris asked.
"I don't know." Sky said, looking at the ground. "This is the hardest decision ever, as I promised Trent, I wouldn't vote him out. Now it's either him, or I go home, or Jo does. I need some time to think."
"Actually, Sky we are on a time crunch as I have other stuff planned, so you have 1 minute to decide, or you and Jo are going into the rock draw." Chris explained.
"What? No!" Sky shrieked out. "I can't do this to myself." Sky told herself. Sky then looked up and looked at Jen. "Jen I am so sorry."
Jen instantly knew what Sky was about to do. "No Sky please don't. Please don't!" Jen pleaded. "There has to be another way."
"I am so sorry Jen. But I can't risk my game. So, I am changing my vote from Alejandro to Trent." Sky said as she went down to the ground crying at her situation. "I am sorry."
"This can't be happening." Trent told himself.
"Well let's make it official. With Sky's flipped vote on the revote, Trent you have officially been eliminated from Total Drama World Race." Chris announced. "Any final words?"
"Not much." Trent said. "All I have to say is Jen, good luck. You are my whole world, and I know you can do it. Stay strong and win for both of us. Sky I understand, whichever one of you sabotaged my guitar, I hope karma strikes down on you. Oh, and lastly Alejandro, fuck off." Trent said. Walking away in a huff of anger and acceptance.
After Trent had left, Sky stood up and walked over to Noah. "You and I need to talk in the morning." Sky said.
Chris spoke up, "Now it is time for tonight's big twist. So, we need every team to report to the elimination ceremony."
Big Twist
Every person on every team was shown, "As you guys can see Trent was just eliminated from Total Drama World Race." Chris announced.
Katie gave a gasp and a shocked face but was not actually shocked. "That is shocking." Katie said lying.
"Guess it's just the two of us left from the Drama Brothers." Cody observed.
"Why do you need all of us here?" Heather asked impatiently.
"So, first thing's first. The jumbo jet is back." Chris said as Chef landed right in front of everyone. "What, no one is happy or impressed?"
"That thing is a tub of junk. No thank you." Anne Maia said.
"Anyways, for the next challenge, tomorrow will change the whole game. Because as of right now there are no Team Amazon, no Team Victory, and no Team Style." Blaineley announced as everyone cheered. "However, tomorrow's challenge will determine the new teams, and since there are 28 of you left. It will be 4 teams of 7. Sleep tight contestants, it is a big day tomorrow."
Confessional- Heather
"A new team tomorrow. This is the chance I need to get in power. With how Katie acted today, I think she is loyal to me. If both of us are on a team of 7, we could be very powerful." Heather told herself. "Don't count me out yet."
Confessional- Alejandro
"After how close tonight's vote was, I needed this twist. Time to take control."
Confessional- Bridgette
"This was unexpected. Of course, right when everything is going right for my game this happens." Bridgette sighed. "I am just glad Geoff, and I are good."
Confessional- Tyler
"A team switch. Maybe for now Lindsay and I spend time apart. We both need it. I just don't want to be on a team with Damien." Tyler complained. "Maybe just maybe if Lindsay and I can survive these new teams, whatever they are. We can get back together."
Confessional- Noah
"This team swap isn't even on my mind. I voted Trent out to wash away the guilt of sabotaging his guitar. Yet I still feel like shit." Noah complained. "The only good thing is that I am not the only one culpable in sending Trent home. As Bowie stood guard when I did the sabotage."
Confessional- Bowie
"So, everyone is probably thinking that I only sent Trent home since Alejandro said he would take Julia out. More to it than that. So, I overheard in the stadium, Noah and Julia wanting to sabotage Trent out. However, Noah was reluctant. I told Noah his secret was safe with me. In exchange he and I vote Julia out the next time she is vulnerable." Bowie explained. "I stood guard while Noah ruined Trent's guitar." Bowie further explained his intentions. "Yes, it meant abandoning my alliance with Trent and Jen, but it needed to be done as they weren't going to help me in this game. I do need to do damage control with Jen though. Julia is still my personal number one target, but now I am building the army to take her out."
Confessional- Jen
(tearfully) "Trent's gone, and I am all alone. Bowie and Sky betrayed me. The team is gone, and now without Trent. I am terrified." Jen sobbed. "This will be the hardest thing I will ever do in my life." Jen told herself. "But I am not a quitter, and I will never give up. I will find a way, I promise."
Final Words- Trent
Trent was walking down the streets of Finland "Well that's it for me I guess." Trent said, sighing. "I don't know who I ticked off enough to target me of all people, and ruin this (pulls out his guitar)" Trent exclaimed. "But I must have done something wrong. Just glad that Jen and I are together." Trent said. "Jen, I know you can't see this, but you are amazing, and I wish you all the luck in the world. I just wish we would've had more time."

Author Notes
Thus ends the Finland chapter. Such a big chapter, I had to split this bad boy up into 3 parts. The teams are dissolved, and Trent is eliminated.
So, first thing's first, time to talk about our eliminated contestant, in Trent. I always had Trent eliminated in Finland since the fanfiction first came to mind over a year ago. Trent was someone who I was happy to have on the cast, but outside of his interactions and budding romance with Jen, I never had a ton planned for him.
First thing I wanna talk about is his dynamic with Justin and Duncan. With Justin, I wanted them to be aligned, and Trent saving Justin in Japan over Izzy was meant to cement it. But it was never a main duo. I did want to make sure to keep that friendship around, but I knew I wanted Justin leaving to make Trent feel like he was next to leave. As for Trent and Duncan, I wanted to show that things weren't good between them, regardless of Gwen, which played a role in Duncan defecting from Bowie's alliance. Now I do want to say Trent acting like a jerk to Duncan in Romania during the Gymnastics challenge, was meant to play a role in the defection.
But now I do wanna talk about him and Jen, and the first of a few truly crack/fanon pairings I have on this cast. I can't remember the artist, but I remember seeing on reddit a picture of them together, and it was adorable. So, when I put Jen on the cast, and she was on Team Style (what canonically would be Team Chris) I knew I wanted them together. For Trent, I wanted him and Jen to build a solid rapport with each other, Trent being hesitant to start a relationship after everything with Gwen in Season 2. But he sees how beautiful Jen is, and eventually they become a couple, with Jen revealing she liked him all along.
Now for why I had him eliminated, Trent was always going to be eliminated in Finland like mentioned earlier. There was nowhere for him to be in either Team wise with the swap. Once his storyline with Jen was done, I didn't really have any purpose for Trent to go any farther. Then came the vote breakdown, I knew I had to have Julia and Alejandro vote against him, and then Noah was going to due to the sabotage, he and Duncan still hated each other so that was the fourth vote. But I knew getting the 5th vote and tie was going to be tricky, so I decided Bowie to be the 5th vote. But I wanted to make sure Bowie had a reason since he and Trent were aligned. But that will be explained more when Bowie is either eliminated or wins the season.
Next up is the team's being dissolved. This should be seen coming for a while now. I won't say the new teams are, but there will be 4 of them, and this next chapter will be a much shorter one and will be one part, just the new teams being formed, and a couple of plotlines continuing/ending, I will say that no one will be eliminated in the next chapter. But it should be fun, even if it is going to be a shorter chapter. Would love to hear feedback on what the new teams will be.
Just as a reminder, here are the Final 28 left in the game in alphabetical order. Alejandro, Anne Maria, Bridgette, Bowie, Cody, Courtney, Damien, Duncan, Ezekiel, Geoff, Gwen, Harold, Heather, Jen, Jo, Julia, Katie, Kitty, Lindsay, Mickey, Millie, Noah, Owen, Scott, Sky, Topher, Tyler, and Zoey.
Thank you so much for reading this, and if you have any thoughts/feedback to give I would absolutely love to hear.
Chapter 25: Team Switch Up and Down

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- Team Switch Up and Down
Recap
The episode begins with Chris and Blaineley in the jumbo jet, in the pilot compartment, "Previously on Total Drama World Race." Chris announced as the screen flashed to Finland and the saunas, "Our contestants had to bake in saunas for a chance to advance. Where the dirt was dished out."
"That's right Chris, those that advanced to the second part of the challenge, had to perform on stage in front of their peers, and audience." Blaineley said, as the show displayed Harold, and Kitty singing. "While some excelled, others faltered."
"Owen met his biggest super fan, while Mickey stunned everyone with a new look, and blew the house down with his performance." Chris said.
"The biggest shock though was Trent, who had his guitar sabotaged, and was accused of throwing the challenge for Team Style, and it was later discovered that Noah tampered with the guitar, as Heather and Katie watched from the vents, and Bowie stood guard." Blaineley explained, as the show showed Trent's freakout, and Noah tampering the guitar.
"Despite having a sizable group behind him for elimination, Trent was sent home when Sky wouldn't risk a 50 percent shot of going home herself." Chris concluded. "Tonight, Team Style, Victory, and Amazon are no more. New teams will be formed, and it is guaranteed to be tension filled."

(End Of Intro)
Streets of Finland
The episode begins showing the jumbo jet, still docked in front of the stadium from the previous challenge. A little ways away, Alejandro is shown walking around "Stupid team." Alejandro muttered to himself. "They will see the true power of Alejandro." Alejandro continued to say to himself.
Confessional- Alejandro
"I'm done with my stupid old team. Most of them have voted me out. Whatever team I end up on, I will get control of, mark it."
Beachside
Elsewhere in Finland, was one of the couples of the show in Topher and Anne Maria, both admiring the rising sunrise, "I've always had heard that Finland sunrises were beautiful. But seeing this in person, priceless." Topher awed.
"I agree babe." Anne Maria said, as she looked at Topher. "It's beautiful, like what we have with each other." Anne Maria said. "Actually Topher, there's something I want to tell you."
Topher had taken his eyes off of the sunrise to look down at Anne Maria,"Sure Anne Maria, babe, what's up?" Topher asked, unsure of what his girlfriend was alluding to.
"I just wanted to say that despite everything, I am so happy to have you here." Anne Maria began to say, as she took a deep breath. "Topher, I don't know if you feel the same way, but I love you Topher. I love you so much." Anne Maria confessed.
Topher however was completely thrown off by what Anne Maria just told him, he could only say the first thing that came to mind. "Oh that's sweet, babe." Topher said.
Anne Maria however was left completely stunned, she just confessed to her boyfriend Topher that she loved him. But instead of Topher telling her that he feels the same way, he just said that's sweet. Anne Maria couldn't believe it, and was speechless, in fact all Anne Maria could say was "Wait what?"
Topher himself couldn't believe what he said, "I…. Anne Maria, you know, that I'm not the most forward person. But I still care and like you so much." Topher said, trying to defend himself. "You're still my girlfriend."
Anne Maria admittedly wasn't even fully thinking properly, "Yeah." Anne Maria said as she was trying to gather her thoughts. "I'm going to head back to the plane sweetie." Anne Maria told Topher still trying to think properly as she felt that maybe somehow time to herself.
Topher had looked back at the sky, he still enjoyed the view, but he also knew that he completely messed up. "What did I just do?" Topher asked himself. "Topher you are an absolute idiot." Topher told himself.
Confessional- Anne Maria
"I'm such an idiot." Anne Maria bemoaned in despair. "I just jumped the gun with Topher."
Confessional- Topher
"That was so awkward." Topher said as he nervously chuckled. "I've been dating Anne Maria for a month now, and she told me that she loves me." Topher explained. "Maybe I'm weird, but it feels way too soon to be saying that stuff." Topher further explained. "What was I supposed to do?"
Confessional- Anne Maria
"Goddamn it! You're a bigger idiot than Zoey!" Anne Maria yelled out.
Start of Challenge
At this point everyone who was in the game had gathered inside the Jumbo Jet, specifically the elimination ceremony room. Chris and Blaineley were standing at the podium, as the former began speaking. "As you all remember, last night you were told that you guys were told that there will be new teams, here's how the challenge works. Scattered around the plane is your Total Drama passports. Find your passport and you end up on the team."
"Now a couple of rules. Each team has 7 spots on them, you can find other people's passports if you want but the moment you are placed on a team, you can't look anymore. Now Team 1 has an automatic fill in as we have an automatic fill in spot. This passport belongs too Julia." Blaineley announced.
"Why of course." Julia bragged.
"Now the person who finishes last will receive a punishment for the next challenge. Good luck to everyone left, trust me you'll need it." Chris explained in a sinister tone.
Confessional- Heather
"I don't want that disadvantage. The way Chris was talking about this disadvantage sounds bad. I know everyone else is thinking the same thing."
Confessional- Jen
"I miss Trent so much." Jen said, sadly remembering her boyfriend. "But maybe with a new team, I can meet some new friends. Or at least not feel so upset. I would rather wear a trailer park outfit than be on this team." Jen said as she cringed thinking of the last item.
Challenge Start
As everyone began looking in the jumbo jet, the first scene went to Jo and Owen, as Owen walked up to her "Hey Jo, I was thinking we should aim to not be on the same team. Just so we can both merge together." Owen told Jo. Owen however was thrown off by Jo looking at him weirdly, "Is something wrong Jo?" Owen asked.
"It's just that I didn't think you would think so smart." Jo observed. "Did something happen in Finland to make you think of the game so much?" Jo asked.
"I met this girl during the concert, Priya. She just encouraged me to try and think smarter about the game. I hope you don't mind." Owen said.
Jo was frustrated but understood what Owen was alluding to. With every team only having 7 members, having a known duo on a team was something Jo worried about. "I don't mind. But just know that if you ever need to talk things out, my door is open." Jo told Owen.
"Thanks Jo." Owen said as the two friends departed for the time being.
Confessional- Jo
"I never thought during this game I would meet people who would make me soft." Jo said. "But both Brick and Owen were there for me after the whole Dave fiasco." Jo said remembering her game at her lowest. "I honestly never thought I'd make it that far. But Owen's right, we can't be on the same team. I just hope I can do this on my own now."
Cargo Hold
Deep inside of the cargo hold of the plane was Bowie looking for passports when Duncan walked up to him, "Hey Bowie want to work together for this challenge?" Duncan asked, hoping to rekindle working with Bowie.
Bowie however wasn't happy at all about seeing Duncan, "Nope." Bowie said in a noticeably bitter tone.
"Why?" Duncan asked. "What's got you all riled up?" Duncan asked.
"You ruined my game on Team Style, so why the hell would I want you on my team again?" Bowie asked.
Duncan was left stunned at what Bowie just told him, "When have I ever, and I mean ever ruined your game on our old team?" Duncan asked. "I've always had your back, and never once considered voting you out dude."
"You didn't have our alliance back when you voted Justin out in Hawaii." Bowie bitterly explained. "Then you also voted out Trent."
Duncan however was not pleased that Bowie brought up voting out Trent, and found it funny. "Wait, didn't you also vote Trent out?" Duncan asked. "You're an absolute hypocrite."
"Yeah I voted Trent out. Because at least Alejandro said he wanted to take out Julia." Bowie explained.
"You're obsessed with taking her out." Duncan said.
"Well wouldn't you want to take out someone like her?" Bowie asked back.
Before Duncan could respond however, Chris's voice on the intercom was heard. "Everyone stop! The next members of Team 1 are Duncan and Heather."
Bowie looked like he was about to laugh, "Ha, now you're on a team with Julia. You deserve her." Bowie said. "Oh and good luck with Gwen." Bowie said sarcastically.
Confessional- Duncan
"I'm so annoyed." Duncan complained. "I wanted to work with Bowie, but I got rid of Justin. So he wants nothing to do with me, which is fair." Duncan explained. "Now I'm on a team with Julia, who is Bowie's white whale, and Heather. Maybe I will be the one to get rid of Julia, just to shut Bowie up."
Confessional- Heather
"I was the only one smart enough to realize that there were probably other passports besides Julia's in the elimination room. Sure as shit, I saw my passport and Duncan's right behind the elimination booth." Heather explained. "I didn't want the penalty and besides, Duncan is a good distraction as he always causes drama no matter where he goes, and I have dirt on Julia so I put myself on this team."
Cargo Hold
Back down in the cargo hold, as an annoyed Duncan walked up to be on a team with Julia and Heather, the camera focused in on another group looking. This being Katie, Millie, and Lindsay. "Millie, we have to be on the same team." Lindsay told her best friend.
"I'm so scared about this disadvantage." Millie said as she kept looking.
"Totally." Lindsay and Katie said at the same time, freaking Millie out for a second since both sounded so similar.
Luckily at that moment all 3 of them saw their passports, "Yes. Our passports!" Millie cheered out, as she was about to take off before getting tapped on the shoulder by Lindsay. "What is it?" Millie asked.
"Shouldn't we wait, I don't want to be on the same team as Heather." Lindsay said uncertain about wanting to be on the first team.
Katie however spoke up, "Guys trust me. Heather would want Julia out before you guys, trust me this team will be great for all of us." Katie said as she took off, alluding too the fact she had information for both of them. "Come on girls!"
Lindsay sighed and looked at Millie, "What do you want to do Millie?" Lindsay asked.
"Let's just trust what Katie's saying." Millie explained. "I don't want us to get a disadvantage and the sooner we get this challenge done, the better."
Confessional- Millie
"It's not my first team choice, but I have Lindsay with me. That's what matters most." Millie stated. "I need Lindsay in this game, as she's my best friend."
First Class
In First Class, Gwen was shown looking "Damn passport, where are you?" Gwen asked herself. "I've seen most others but where the hell is mine?" Gwen further asked, as she looked at the door in between First Class, and Luxury Class. "Screw it." Gwen said as she entered and looked near the piano. "Perfect!" Gwen said.
Scott and Courtney both appeared with Courtney looking around nervously "Did you find any passports?" Courtney asked. "I'm pretty sure we can't even be in this room."
"Look at the piano." Gwen said, as it showed her passport, along with Scott and Courtney's,
Before anyone could say anything more, Blaineley's voice was on the intercom. "The final spot in Team 1 is Jo."
Courtney then gasped, "Wait Team 2 is wide open, grab the passports, if we are all on the same team, we can control the team!" Courtney said out loud, nabbing her passport.
Economy Class
In regular Economy Class, Alejandro was looking for his passport, but then he realized something as he looked at the camera, "Why bother to find my own passport when I can find others and cause chaos with the new teams?" Alejandro said.
The camera then panned over to Cody and Kitty, with Cody he was focused on finding his passport to avoid whatever punishment was in store. "I swear this is like finding a needle in a haystack." Cody said, as he turned to face Kitty. "What's wrong Kitty?" Cody asked as he noticed his girlfriend had a solemn look on her face. "You're not your normal happy self." Cody noticed with Kitty.
Kitty sighed in frustration, "Cody, why didn't you comfort me during Mickey's performance, and while I'm at it, why did the flowers end up with Mickey?" Kitty asked.
Cody was taken aback and didn't expect Kitty to confront him already. "I um, I was just uh…." Cody said, stuttering trying to get his words together.
"Well, what do you have to say for yourself?" Kitty asked.
"I was just transfixed with Mickey's performance. I should have comforted you, but I still care for you so much." Cody said. "As for the flowers, I already told you, I bought them for you, told Zoey they were for you. So talk to Zoey about why she gave my flowers to Mickey." Cody explained.
"It's just frustrating that you decided that you would rather watch Mickey sing then comfort me." Kitty explained. "Are you and Mickey closer than best friends?" Kitty asked, as she felt even more suspicious of their friendship.
Cody instantly froze in place, as his mind instantly went back to the kiss he had with Mickey back in Dubai. Did Mickey tell someone? All Cody could think to do was deny, as he already had enough problems and if Kitty knew the truth, things would get worse, "Mickey and I are just best friends." Cody said, "Mickey looks at me as a close friend, and he knows that is all we are and he likes that." Cody said as he was now actively lying to Kitty.
Before Kitty could continue to say what she thought, Chris's voice was heard on the intercom, "The next person on Team 2 joining Gwen, Courtney, and Scott is….. Kitty." Chris announced.
"Well good luck Cody." Kitty said, but her tone wasn't convincing.
Cody was now left alone, and all he could feel was confusion, "This is getting way out of control." Cody told himself. "What do I do with both of them, and why can't things be like how they used to be?" Cody asked himself.
Confessional- Kitty
"Is it wrong that I kind of hope that Cody and I aren't on the same team?" Kitty asked herself.
Confessional- Cody
"I've got to talk to Zoey and Mickey, and get this whole thing cleared." Cody then sighed in frustration. "Why is my life so frustrating?"
Back To Scene
The scene picked up, showing Tyler looking for his passport as Alejandro returned after assigning Kitty to the second team. Tyler however didn't even notice that Alejandro was with him. "Where's the damn passport?" Tyler asked himself, before noticing Alejandro. "Oh hi. Alejandro is it?" Tyler asked.
Alejandro nodded his head, "Hey amigo, what's troubling you?" Alejandro asked.
Tyler admittedly felt very guarded with Alejandro. The Latin's perception wasn't great with others. Most everyone had kind of known he was responsible for Sadie's elimination, played a role in Beth's elimination along with Dave's elimination, and also Leshawna's. The perception of Alejandro wasn't great, but Tyler also knew that with the new teams, he needed new allies, as he only had Lindsay on Team Victory, and with her now not being on the same team, Tyler felt he was starting from scratch. "I just wish I wasn't still at risk of getting a punishment." Tyler explained. The moment Tyler explained his thought process however, Alejandro saw Tyler's passport and decided to pocket it.
Confessional- Alejandro
"While it's great to split couples up. Hence why I put Kitty on the second team. I need allies myself." Alejandro explained as he pulled out Tyler's passport. "Tyler seems like he is vulnerable enough to be an ally of mine and I need one."
Back To Scene
Tyler was still looking in vain for his passport, "It's times like this I wish I was back home in Ottawa." Tyler told himself.
"Oh you're from Ottawa?" Alejandro asked. "You must be from a lot of money." Alejandro assumed.
Tyler chuckled, "You would think so dude. But no. We aren't poor, but not rich at all." Tyler said. "Getting the money so my parents wouldn't have to be so stressed out is a motivation for me personally. My parents are always so encouraging to me. Even if I wish we would have had the money to have a little brother or sister." Tyler said as he looked down explaining his situation.
Alejandro admittedly was almost left speechless by Tyler's speech. Alejandro had a brother back home Jose, but Alejandro always told himself he would never open up about his home life back home. "That is sad amigo. But I have your back." Alejandro reassured, "I promise I won't tell anyone about this."
Before Tyler and Alejandro could talk longer, Blaineley's voice spoke on the intercom. "Team 2 is filled up, Courtney, Scott, Gwen, Kitty, Geoff, Bridgette, and Ezekiel."
Common Area
Anne Maria, Topher, and Zoey were looking for their passports, when the intercom went off yet again, "The first member of Team 3 is Anne Maria."
"Ugh! Good luck Topher." Anne Maria said as she stormed off waiting for who her new teammates were.
Zoey immediately picked up on the awkward vibes between Anne Maria and Topher. Despite not wanting to meddle with their relationship, Zoey was curious. "Topher is everything okay with you and Anne Maria?" Zoey asked.
Topher's first instinct was to immediately say everything was okay, but he and Zoey were close friends, and Topher told himself that he would always be honest with Zoey and Anne Maria as they are his closest allies and friends. "No they aren't okay." Topher said. "This morning Anne Maria and I were watching the sunrise and she told me that she loves me." Topher explained. "And instead of saying it back I froze."
"Oh my gosh." Zoey said, as she was trying to gather her thoughts, "Do you want my thoughts?" Zoey asked.
"Yes please." Topher said practically begging.
"I think she jumped the gun by saying that." Zoey said. "How do you feel, Topher?" Zoey asked.
"I do still like Anne Maria, my mind just went blank when she said that. I feel like it's way too soon to say that." Topher reasoned. Topher then gave a huge sigh of relief. "Thanks Zoey."
Cargo Hold
Deep in the cargo hold was Owen, Noah, and Sky. "This is so much fun. It's like a scavenger hunt. Right, guys?" Owen asked.
However, neither Sky nor Noah was exactly in the mood for chit chat, as what happened with the Trent vote lingered over both of their heads. Sky felt guilty that she went back on her word so soon with Trent, and the worst thing was that Noah was quiet as could be. "That's great Owen." Sky said, not paying attention to Owen's ramblings.
Meanwhile Noah wasn't much better, ever since the moment he sabotaged Trent out of the game. Noah felt guilt. Trent had done nothing wrong and just got caught in the crossfire, as Noah felt guilt. What's worse is that Noah realized he blew another opportunity to send Alejandro home, but the fear of Julia exposing the sabotage made him play safe. "Yeah amazing Owen." Noah said. "Has anyone found a passport yet?" Noah asked.
Sky instantly noticed Noah's tone, and knew that the Trent elimination was still bugging him. Sky recognized the tone as one someone would use to hide a secret. "What's wrong Noah? You're acting weird."
Noah instantly perked his head up, as he felt in his gut that Sky was suspicious of him. But he was already in such a precarious position in the game, so he decided to stay quiet, as luck would have it, Owen spoke back up. "Oh my gosh guys look, it's all of our passports." Owen said. Sure enough each of the passports that said Sky, Noah, and Owen were bunched up together. "This must be what they call it? Late?" Owen asked.
"Fate." Noah and Sky said at the same time.
"Yeah fate." Owen said eagerly, while all three were running back to Chris, they hadn't overheard the speaker announce the other members of Team 3 that were joining them, with that being Damien, Tyler, and Alejandro. All three had made their way to the elimination room when Noah finally noticed.
"Oh no, we have to be on a team with him!?" Noah said, aimed right at Alejandro.
All of them were about to turn back, when Blaineley noticed the passports, "I assume these are for us." Blaineley said as she snatched each of the passports out of their hands.
First Class
The episode shifted to showing Bowie and Jen in First Class, as Chris made an announcement, "The final 7 are now a team, Jen, Mickey, Cody, Zoey, Topher, Bowie, and Harold. One of you though will be getting the punishment so find those passports."
Jen decided her best course of action was to make light of her situation "Well looks like we're teammates again."
"Yep." Bowie awkwardly said, feeling like Jen was mad at him and now that they were teammates, Bowie knew he needed to make sure Jen wasn't against him. "You're still not mad at me about last night, right?" Bowie asked.
Jen knew what Bowie was alluding to, but seeing how quickly Bowie turned on Trent, Jen figured her best course of action was to agree with Bowie, even if she didn't personally. "I'm not mad, I miss Trent so much. But everyone has their reasons for sending someone home. Besides, we're probably going to need each other on this new team." Jen reasoned.
"That's for sure." Bowie said. "Speaking of which, guess whose passport I got?" Bowie asked in a joking tone.
"Mine." Jen assumed. "Because I have your passport, Bowie." Jen said, pulling out Bowie's passport, stunning him. "Come on, let's find Chris and Blaineley."
Confessional- Jen
"The trust with Bowie is gone." Jen said, "But I will work with him for now, but I need other allies that aren't him. So, for now, he and I are besties. But I don't forget or forgive entirely."
Economy Class
Back in the regular Economy Class section, Cody was shown absolutely tearing up anything in sight for his passport "Where the hell is this stupid thing?" Cody asked himself, he was so focused on finding his passport, he didn't notice Mickey until he tapped Cody's shoulders. "Stay away from me." Cody said, at the same time he smacked Mickey right in the face. "Oh shit. Are you okay Mickey?" Cody asked, helping Mickey to his feet.
Mickey was stunned for a second that Cody did that, before getting his composure back. "I'm fine. Trust me bullies back home did worse to me. What's up?"
"What's up?" Cody asked back incredulously. "We don't have time, one of us could get the punishment. Kitty is no longer on my team and everything is falling apart." Cody said ranting,
Mickey was completely thrown off by Cody's freakout, as normally he'd be the one to be freaking out, yet now the roles were reversed and Mickey was the calm one. Mickey himself felt overwhelmed, but instantly realized that he had a way to calm Cody down. "Cody, relax. Calm down." Mickey said, holding onto Cody's shoulders and made him face him to calm him down. "I found both of our passports about 5 minutes ago, I specifically wanted to find you to tell you about this." Mickey explained.
Cody however was not fully believing what Mickey was telling him, and felt like Mickey was playing him. "You're lying." Cody said.
"No I'm not." Mickey said, upset internally that Cody didn't believe him, but quickly shook it off. "Here's the proof." Mickey said as he pulled the passports out of his pocket. "Believe me now?" Mickey asked.
Cody had finally calmed down, and thanked Mickey with a huge hug, however he quickly realized how that came across and perked back quickly. "Don't get any ideas, and when we get the chance, you and I need to talk."
Elimination Room/End Of Challenge
Everyone had gathered in the elimination room sans the final 3 for the challenge, however Zoey and Topher began walking up to the podium, with only one passport but Zoey had a look of guilt. "Are you sure you're okay taking the fall and the punishment?"
Topher looked at Zoey, and saw how she looked sad. "Zoey, it's okay. Worst case scenario I'm eliminated and even then I would be at peace, as it's been amazing getting to know you." Topher said as Harold ran right past them. "Damn I guess that's it then?" Topher said as he and Zoey ran up.
Harold looked confident as he handed a passport to Chris. "Sorry that this happened to you Topher." Harold said. "I would've loved to get to know you." Harold stated.
However Chris then announced some important things to clear up the results of the challenge, "Okay first of all, we need to clear some things up. The punishment wasn't an elimination. Trust me, if it were up to me it would be." Chris explained. "Also this passport is for Topher. Which with Zoey's passport means Harold gets the punishment which will be revealed at the next challenge." Chris said.
"Ugh." Harold groaned out.
"Now you guys need to get acquainted with your new teammates." Blaineley declared. "Next challenge is tomorrow night."
Everyone was now getting acquainted with their new team, with Owen eagerly walking up to Damien and Anne Maria. "Hi, I'm Owen. It's so great to meet you."
Damien was excited. "I'm Damien nice to meet you, woah." Damien said until Owen shook his hand too aggressively catching Damien completely off guard. "Thanks Owen. Maybe a little gentler next time."
Owen then went up to Anne Maria to greet her, but Anne Maria instantly recoiled back, "I'm good, big guy. Nice to meet you."
Millie and Lindsay were feeling relieved being on the same team, "At least we lucked out and ended up on the same team together." Millie explained.
However at that moment, Heather walked up and saw that Lindsay was on her team and both had the same reaction, "Oh hell no!" both Lindsay and Heather said at the same time.
Geoff and Bridgette were standing next to each other, when Gwen walked up to both of them, "It's so great to see you guys." Gwen noted.
"Same with you Gwen. We also finally get to be on a team together!" Bridgette cheered out. "We need to catch up soon since we are on the same team now."
"Definitely." Gwen said as she walked away to talk to Scott and Courtney.
"She's so great." Bridgette said smiling before she noticed Ezekiel tapping her shoulder. "Hey Ezekiel what's going on?" Bridgette asked.
"Am I screwed on this team eh?" Ezekiel asked.
That question completely threw Geoff and Bridgette off guard, "Why would you be screwed dude?" Geoff asked.
"Well because of the immunity thing eh." Ezekiel explained as Geoff and Bridgette looked like Ezekiel was talking gibberish. "Gwen and I are the only ones who can be eliminated until there's 25 of us left." Ezekiel explained.
Geoff and Bridgette finally understood why Ezekiel asked if he was screwed on this new team. "You'll be fine, we have a strong team on our hands." Bridgette explained, which for the time being calmed Ezekiel down.
Meanwhile Jen walked up to two of her new teammates, that being Harold and Cody, "Oh my gosh Harold and Cody. Trent told me all about you guys on our old team. It's such an honor." Jen greeted both of them.
"Heh, thanks." Cody awkwardly said.
At the same time Topher eagerly walked up to the three of them. "Hi Harold, I am such a fan of you and how you did the first couple of seasons." Topher told Harold, as Harold felt a sense of pride for that acknowledgement. "Oh and Jen, you need to give me some fashion tips."
"Oh absolutely, you have a very impressive style to you." Jen told Topher.
Before Topher and Jen could bond further Topher saw Bowie and also greeted him. "Hi Bowie is it? I'm Topher, and it looks like we are teammates." Topher said.
"Thanks." Bowie said somewhat awkwardly. "Do I know you from somewhere?" Bowie asked.
"You shouldn't. I have never seen you around before." Topher said, confused of Bowie's question.
Confessional- Alejandro
"This team draw wasn't perfect for me. Owen and Noah hate me, Sky doesn't like me." Alejandro explained. "But I know there's a way out of any bad situation and having Tyler on this new team is a good starting point, and if I can blow this game wide open, trust me I will."
Confessional- Duncan
"The good news is that I am the only guy on this team, so I am obviously the strongest." Duncan said before realizing how that came across. "Not that the girls on my team are weak." Duncan explained. "Where was I? Oh yeah. The bad news is that I know Lindsay and I don't like each other, same with Heather, I know Julia isn't trustworthy, and Katie probably dislikes me since I lead the charge to get rid of her in Season 1." Duncan listed out. "Which leaves Jo and Millie? Wish me luck."
Confessional- Millie
"I know that Lindsay isn't thrilled about being on the same team as Heather but between her, Duncan, Jo, and Julia, all of them are probably a wealth of information, and I can tell some of them have egos and will target each other before targeting me or Lindsay. I like this new team."
Confessional- Ezekiel
"I know that Geoff and Bridgette are reassuring me that I am safe, but until this immunity is up eh, I am in danger." Ezekiel explained. "My one chance is Kitty, as I bonded with her in Finland, so she is my one shot to stay in the game."
Confessional- Harold
"Whatever this punishment is I am taking head on. Booya!" Harold cheered out. "But before Jen came up to talk to Cody and I, I had noticed that Cody was acting kind of weird. Also I need to get someone to help me with Millie's journal."
Confessional- Cody
"Today is awful. Kitty and I are no longer on a team together. This Mickey situation has gotten so out of control, and I don't know. I am just so exhausted from this whole thing. Honestly at this point I am a terrible boyfriend, and best friend."

Author Notes
Another chapter complete, and this one was a pure Team Swap. If you need a refresher, here are the new teams.
Team 1: Julia, Heather, Duncan, Lindsay, Millie, Jo, and Katie
Team 2: Gwen, Courtney, Scott, Kitty, Ezekiel, Bridgette, and Geoff
Team 3: Owen, Sky, Damien, Noah, Alejandro, Tyler, and Anne Maria
Team 4: Mickey, Cody, Zoey, Topher, Bowie, Jen, and Harold
So now I will get into why I did the team swap. I didn't have the merge planned yet with this many people left. But I also didn't feel like having the 3 teams still around. But having only 2 teams felt too small as some of the upcoming challenges (Greece being the biggest example) would have people not even compete in the challenge if there was a team of 14. So I decided to have 4 teams of 7, which was also why the Dubai chapter was a reward challenge.
Now for each team set up, the first Team, I knew I wanted one of the teams to have almost all women, but I couldn't stick Cody on the team given his plot with Mickey. So looking at the men left in the game, I decided to have Duncan be on this team. As his plot I have for him worked best on this team. Now I wanted Heather, Jo, and Katie all on the same team after the interaction in Dubai. Millie and Lindsay were always going to be on the same team together, and with what I have planned with an upcoming twist and Julia, she was the perfect person to put on this team.
Team 2 here, I knew I needed Gwen, Courtney and Scott all on the same team, but their plot with Heather had come to a close so they weren't going to be on the same team. Kitty and Ezekiel were going to be on a team together after the interaction in Finland. Also wanted Bridgette on a team with Gwen, Courtney, and Ezekiel and with Bridgette obviously came Geoff.
Next up is Team 3, which is probably the closest to Team Chris of this group, Noah still has plot left with Sky and Owen so all of them were going to be together, and since this is as close to Team Chris as I could get, Alejandro was going to be on this team. Damien and Tyler had a fascinating dynamic in the first team phase, and I needed Tyler on the same team as Alejandro, then the last spot came to Anne Maria as I needed her and Topher in separate teams for their plots.
Lastly Team 4, Mickey and Cody were always going to be on the same team no matter what, especially since their plot is one of the main ones. As indicative of the intro, Bowie plays a role in the Millie journal which meant putting him and Harold on the same team. For Jen, I needed her on the same team as Bowie due to Bowie betraying Trent, and having both Drama Brothers made that work. Topher and Zoey were going to be on the same team to help progress their plot forward. Not to mention Zoey's dynamic with Mickey as well is going to be explored even more.
Trust me when I say there's a lot more planned and in store for a lot of these characters. This chapter marks the unofficial halfway point-ish. So, stay tuned. It is going to get crazy.
Next chapter we go officially from Finland to London, with multiple Jack The Rippers? Team names, new dynamics, and a voting twist that changes the strategy of the game. Lastly an elimination and fallout that changes the game.
Chapter 26
Summary:

Chapter Text
Total Drama World Race- I See London Part 1
Recap
"Previously on Total Drama World Race, the teams were officially disbanded and four new teams formed." Chris said as the camera showed each of the 4 teams formed.
"Before the challenge, Anne Maria and Topher's relationship hit a massive snafu when Anne Maria told Topher she loved him, and Topher couldn't say it back. Ooh spicy!" Blaineley exclaimed.
"While some friends stayed on the new teams together" Chris said as Lindsay and Millie gave each other a high five, "Others were torn apart." Kitty was shown walking away from Cody when it was announced they wouldn't be on the same team.
"But above all else we are still at 28 people left in the game, but not for long eh, a new destination, new teams, and another sorry sucker thrown out the plane like yesterday's news, get ready for more Total Drama World Race!"

(End Of Intro)
Economy Class
The episode starts in Economy Class. All 28 contestants were sitting in their respective teams, with no one speaking a word, as no one wanted to break the tension in the room.
Confessional- Julia
"So stupid Chris, told all of us we had to assign team names today, that needed to be approved." Julia explained as she rolled her eyes. "Whatever. My team which consists of myself, Duncan, Jo, Heather, Lindsay, Millie, and Katie came up with Team Princess. Which someone" Julia began to say before she did a mocking cough, "Duncan. Didn't approve of but whatever."
Confessional- Gwen
"My team? Well, we came up with Toxic Bears, mainly because it would be the one Chris would agree with that didn't involve sucking up to him."
Confessional- Alejandro
"Our team is called the Brawn Dunces. A strong team, but one that has Owen and Tyler who aren't exactly the smartest to say the least." Alejandro explained. "I think it works perfectly."
Confessional- Jen
"My team decided on Fashionably Dorky. Between myself, Topher, and Bowie our team has a great sense of fashion, but we also have Harold, Cody and Mickey who are geeky." Jen explained before her eyes widened. "Not that I am judging. Trust me, my best friend Tom as a side hustle is a total gamer. He is such an inner nerd."
Economy Class
In Economy Class the scene starts with Team Princess, specifically Heather and Millie. "I hate being in stupid Economy Class." Heather complained.
"I agree, First Class is such a great place to relax." Millie explained, before she turned her head and saw Lindsay tapping her shoulder. "Hey, Lindsay, what's up?" Millie asked her best friend.
"Don't talk with Heather. She will betray you in a heartbeat." Lindsay explained.
Heather rolled her eyes at Lindsay's disdain for her. "Thanks Lindsay." Heather sarcastically said. "Guess there's still some brain power left in your head after all." Heather snipped back before walking away from the best friends.
"What was that all about, Lindsay?" Millie asked.
Lindsay raised her eyebrows, and sighed. "Heather can't be trusted. She betrayed me in the first season and had no care that she did." Lindsay explained.
"But we need to keep our options open, Lindsay, if we want any chance to make it out of this team together." Millie retorted back. "We aren't the strongest players on this team so we can't make any enemies on this team."
Meanwhile, Heather walked up to her closest ally in Katie, a sentiment she never thought would happen early on in the game. "Lindsay is so frustrating. There's a reason why I call her Lindsiot." Heather complained, before catching her breath. "We need Millie on our side for an extra number, but I can't talk to Millie for more than 5 minutes before Lindsay comes up and ends the conversation."
Katie however looked like she was thinking, before she spoke up. "I have an idea."
"I am not going to play nice with Lindsay." Heather said. "She made me bald, that is a line you do not cross with me."
"No, maybe I could distract Lindsay during today's challenge so you and Millie can work together. You both are smart." Katie explained.
Heather however remained skeptical, "Would that actually work?"
"Please. I can talk to Lindsay about fashion, boys or the challenge itself." Katie said. "One time when Lindsay, Sadie and I were at Playa Des Losers, we did a ranking of every boy during Season 1 and it went on for 3 hours. Trust me she was insistent that Tyler was the best." Katie explained.
A little way away was Heather and Katie's teammate Duncan, and their former teammate and enemy, Gwen sitting together. Both could definitely feel the romantic tension and swell between them, but neither were ready to fully admit it. "You know I never thought I would miss this stupid plane, and yet I somehow do." Duncan said. Duncan then turned and saw Gwen's hand "Pasty, what happened to your hand today?"
Gwen was embarrassed, her left hand had been completely bruised, "I have no idea."
Flashback
Common Area
It was earlier in the day and Gwen was shown sleeping by one of the tables with her hand out. The scene panned out to show Harold and Ezekiel carrying a box. "I'm so glad to have my nunchucks back dude." Harold beamed.
"Sure eh. You can maybe play with them since you have the disadvantage today." Ezekiel told Harold. "Actually, eh. Let's play with them right now." Ezekiel suggested and without a second thought Harold dropped the box right on Gwen's hand bruising it for the day.
Back To Scene
Economy Class
"I really hope whatever Blaineley and Chris come up with today doesn't involve lifting." Gwen complained.
Bridgette, who overheard Gwen's statement, immediately spoke up. "I could lead the team." Bridgette said. "Especially with your injury."
Gwen instinctually raised her eyebrows. "Bridgette, you're probably going to have to be a co-leader at best because well Courtney." Gwen explained.
"Oh right." Bridgette realized that if she were to lead the team, she would have to contest with Courtney. "Speaking of Courtney. I am shocked you guys are such close friends."
"Her and I just have a fair amount of stuff in common." Gwen explained as she saw Duncan had stood up and walked away to talk to Jo. "It helps that she and Duncan are broken up."
Confessional- Gwen
"Right now, the only people that are vulnerable to be voted out are Ezekiel and I" Gwen explained. "Yes, Ezekiel is Ezekiel, and I have Scott, Courtney, and Kitty backing me, so I have the majority. But if I can get Bridgette and Geoff side with me. That will further seal the deal."
Back To Scene
Back in Economy Class, Ezekiel was feeling similar to Gwen as he was talking with Geoff. "I am scared dude eh." Ezekiel said.
Geoff was reassuring Ezekiel for at least the third time that day, "I am telling you bro, you have nothing to worry about." Geoff reassured Ezekiel. "We have a very strong team, and I will keep you safe, I promise." Geoff said. "Look I will go take a whiz, just take a deep breath and you'll be okay."
Geoff then walked away as the camera picked up on two of his new teammates, Courtney and Scott who were chatting with each other. "I think I am finally 100% focused on the game again."
"That's great Courtney." Scott awed before immediately getting his composure back. "It helps we are immune, but we have to make sure Gwen stays safe."
"I swear it is only the game and numbers with you." Courtney complained. "Look Scott, there's something I need to tell you." Courtney shyly said.
Before Scott could further ask, Courtney was interrupted by a mocking Noah, "Trying to find my rebound after Duncan dumped me in Jamaica, maybe Scott will be the improvement." Noah mocked.
Owen and Sky who were sitting with Noah, both couldn't stop laughing. "That is so mean." Sky said.
However Noah's luck wasn't great as Owen ended up snorting milk that landed on him and Sky, "Ew gross." Noah and Sky said at the same time.
"Sorry guys, I got some of my milk on you." Owen meekly apologized.
"Where did you get milk?" Sky asked. "You didn't have it for a while now."
"Well the night we left Jamaica for the bus and plane to go too…" Owen said before he trailed off.
"Transylvania." Noah piped in so Owen could continue explaining.
"Thanks buddy." Owen said, patting Noah on the back. "Anyways, I bought some milk in Jamaica, but I also bought these.." Owen said as he pulled out a crate full of peppers.
"What the heck are those?" Sky asked. "Peppers?"
"You know it. Milk is the only thing that keeps my mouth from breathing fire with these Jamaican peppers, but both expire today so I have to eat and drink this constantly." Owen explained. "I don't believe in wasting food."
Confessional- Sky
"This team swap has me feeling better about my game." Sky said confidently, puffing her chest out proudly. "I no longer have to worry about Julia. Also our team has strong people physically like myself and Tyler, and while I don't trust him. Alejandro. Not to mention smart people like Damien and Noah." Sky explained. "Heh, and Noah he is kind of funny, and if I wasn't already dating Keith, I could see myself dating someone like that. He is total boyfriend material for whoever ends up with him. They're a lucky girl."
Back To Scene
Noah continued his mocking of Courtney as it was no secret both didn't care for each other, as while the first season didn't show it, both thought the other was fake. "Would I ever swoop so low to date someone like Scott?" Noah sarcastically asked. "My standard of man is a guy in juvie." Noah mocked.
Owen once again snickered at that, but a pepper came flying out of his nose and landed right in Tyler's face. "Ah dude, weak." Tyler complained and then sighed. "Such a screw up." Tyler told himself.
Alejandro, who was sitting next to the jock, didn't want to show interest but knew with the new team layout he needed all the allies he could get. "Amigo, what's wrong?" Alejandro asked.
"I feel like a piranha on this team." Tyler explained.
"A pariah." Alejandro corrected. "Don't worry I have your back, and you shouldn't worry so much." Alejandro said as he stood up and walked away to go to the bathroom. "I need to be anywhere that isn't here."
Confessional- Alejandro
"Tyler seems to be someone I could easily manipulate, but with Noah on this team, I can't be completely fake, and try to be Tyler's friend." Alejandor then shuddered at that. "It's cold here." Alejandro said, in an unconvincing tone.
Back To Scene
The rest of Brawn Dunces were shown aka, Anne Maria and Damien. However, both were such polar opposites "Did you know I have the whole periodic table memorized?" Damien bragged.
"Really, that's what impresses your mother." Anne Maria said not paying attention to Damien.
Confessional- Anne Maria
"This new team of mine is weird. I am the only person from Team Amazon on it, and I feel like I got dropped off at the wrong club. Damien is a total nerd, Noah and Owen are weird, Tyler has a good body but is an idiot, Sky is stand offish, and Alejandro, well he's hot." Anne Maria then realized what she said and her eyes widened. "Anyways, Topher told me I will be fine on this team, but I just feel nervous. I don't like it."
Back To Scene
Speaking of Topher he was talking with Zoey, "I am relieved that Anne Maria is on a new team." Topher said. "She keeps insisting she was safe on the old team, but I feel like I couldn't protect her." Topher explained..
"And she told you that she loves you, which you didn't say back." Zoey pointed out.
Topher however tensed up, and decided to change the topic. "Aren't you also happy that Mickey is on our team, you know your best friend?" Topher asked.
"Of course." Zoey said as she moved closer to Topher to whisper to him, "I also want to help Mickey and Cody out."
"Woah wait, what? We are not getting them together, we don't even know which way Cody swings, and he has a girlfriend." Topher stated. "I want them to be friends though, as there is a tension between them, and it's a good idea to distract me from Anne Maria."
Speaking of Cody and Mickey, there is an awkward tension between them as Mickey decides to try and start a conversation with Cody, "I am happy we are on the same team again." Mickey said.
"Yeah." Cody flatly said. "At some point today.." Cody said before looking out the window and realizing it was completely dark outside. "Okay at some point tonight we need to talk."
"That's great." Mickey beamed in excitement.
"As friends, or whatever this is." Cody said.
Before Cody and Mickey could further discuss their let's say situation. Chris's voice was heard on the intercom "We'll be at our challenge site soon, but Blaineley has some announcements as we enter the next stage of the competition." Chris said.
"Attention contestants, with 4 teams the challenge results will be different. First place gets luxury class, aka Chris' old living quarters." Blaineley announced as everyone cheered. "Second place gets first class, and third class and the losers get Economy class. Now for the big twist."
"Big twist?" Damien asked. "What else is going on?"
"So even though every team has 7 members, there won't be seven people voting. The third place team will have two members selected by Chris and I to vote to add some extra spice. Now they are both safe and are just extra votes but those two votes can make all the difference." Blaineley explained. "Oh I forgot to mention if a team is down to six members it will only have one extra vote, and once a team is down to 5. The extra vote twist is gone for that team."
"Thanks Blaineley." Chris said. "Now is the time to jump as we reach the landing zone, however we may be short a parachute since Chef isn't known for his math skills."
"I'm a cook." Chef said, defending himself.
"Yeah and a piss poor one, so shut up." Chris said. "Anyways parachute's are first come, first serve."
As everyone made their way to the elimination exit for the jump, Bowie beamed with excitement. "This twist is perfect, as I would love to be the one to personally send Julia home, once and for all." Bowie bragged happily.
"She must have been unbearable on your team." Zoey said as she walked away. Bowie was gonna walk with her and his team, however a hooded figure came from behind and knocked him out cold before he could properly react.
Elimination Room
Everyone who was present was shown, as Brawn Dunces had everyone sans Alejandro, Princess had everyone sans Jo, Toxic Bears was missing Geoff, and Fashionably Dorky was missing both Harold and Bowie. Brawn Dunces were looking out the exit as Tyler looked excited. "Game on!" Tyler said as he jumped out of the plane.
"Wait for me." Sky said as she jumped out next.
Owen and Noah looked and saw everyone else had a parachute as Noah felt pure dread, "Oh life why do you hate me so?" Noah asked as he looked up in despair.
Team Fashionably Dorky were all standing next to each other, holding hands to calm each other down from the jump. "This jump is scary and heights still aren't my thing." Mickey said. "I can do this. I can do this. I am brave!" Mickey told himself.
Zoey who was holding onto Mickey and Topher looked over to Topher, "Are you okay with this after China?"
"I mean, jumping isn't my thing." Topher said nervously looking out the plane.
Zoey saw a chance to make Topher happy and less stressed out and instantly took advantage of it, "Here take my hand and we can jump out of this plane together, as friends." Zoey asked.
Topher looked at Zoey's hands and didn't need to be told twice "I would like that, as friends." Topher said.
Jump Out of Plane
Tyler was shown grinning from ear to ear as he was out of the plane with a parachute on, "Extreme!" Tyler cheered out, until he ended up getting stuck on a pole on the bridge. "Oh come on, help me."
Noah and Owen who had to share a parachute freefall out of the sky and landed on top of the double decker bus, "That wasn't so bad, right buddy."
Damien landed next to the buddies and cringed. "You're uh, sitting on Noah." Damien pointed out.
"Oh my gosh!" Owen yelled out. "Sorry buddy." Owen said as he got up.
"It's okay." Noah said half haphazardly, "Maybe tonight can get better, as I think I want to ask Sky out tonight." Noah explained.
"I knew you had a crush on her." Owen and Damien said at the same time. "Love must really be in the air."
Off screen you could hear Sky yell, "Guys move!" Sky yelled out.
"Move?" Damien and Noah asked as they looked up and saw that Sky had cut Tyler loose and he was back to falling.
"Ow. Damn it, that is smart." Tyler said as he landed on the bus, and Noah along with Owen helped him up.
London Bridge
Right outside a double decker bus stood Team Fashionably Dorky, with all of them putting their parachutes in a pile, as Mickey excitedly grabbed both Zoey and Cody's hands. "I am so excited to be here. My brother Jay has read up on this place. He told me that this place was considered a forest." Mickey said.
"That's fascinating." Cody sarcastically said. "Can I please have my arm back. I wanna talk with you later. But we aren't friends." Cody curtly said.
Topher however raised his eyebrows at Cody's cold statement. "Aren't you guys friends?" Topher asked. "On our old team you guys were inseparable," Topher said, fully knowing the truth.
"We were but things change." Cody said pointedly at Mickey. Cody however was unaware that both Topher and Zoey knew why things were tense between him and Mickey as he walked away to the double decker bus.
Mickey was left in a state of confusion, "What is wrong with him?" Mickey asked himself.
Zoey walked up to Mickey and patted his shoulder in solidarity to make sure he was feeling okay, "He will come around, I promise." Zoey told Mickey.
Topher could tell Mickey was feeling down and decided to at least try and lighten the mood, "I can't wait to meet your brother, as I want to hear all of what he knows about Europe." Topher told Mickey which made the latter smile.
Double Decker Bus
Everyone had now made their way to the bus sitting in their respective teams, with Heather sitting up front, she decided to turn back and looked behind her only to see that someone was missing, "Wait where's Alejandro?" Heather asked.
Julia, who was filing her nails wasn't amused with Heather's question, "Why does it matter? He is on a different team." Julia said before looking up and looking around, "Wait, where's our teammate Jo?"
"Good questions ladies." Chris mockingly said. "That will be revealed in a second, but first gun it Chef!" Chris called for Chef to drive the bus. "London England, does anyone have any historical facts?"
Damien instantly shot his hand up, "Ooh isn't this the home of Big Ben?"
"Also, London Eye." Noah flatly said. "Also, the sandwich that was stuffed with french fries and it was called the Chip Buddy."
"Mmm yes please!" Owen said. "I want that!"
Despite their tense interaction not even 5 minutes ago, Cody was sitting next to Mickey, "Don't you have any more fun facts your brother told you?" Cody asked.
Mickey looked like he was thinking, "I think I have a couple more." Mickey stated. "I remember Scotland Yard. Jay said it had over 150 rooms and they solved many cases." Mickey explained as he kept on thinking but then remembered something else. "But Jay said there was one case they never cracked."
"That's correct Mickey. It was Jack The Ripper." Chris said which made everyone gasp in fear. "Today's challenge is all about hunting Jack The Ripper." Chris then noticed Damien had his hand raised. "Yes Damien?"
"Sorry to ruin the fun, but that's historically illogical." Damien said. "Jack The Ripper's killings happened in the 1880s and 1890s so he can't be alive right now."
"Way to ruin all the fun." Chris angrily said as he walked over to Damien and backhanded him. "Of course we couldn't get the actual killer. So, everyone should notice a teammate is missing. Team Princess is missing Jo; Team Brawn Dunces are missing Alejandro."
"Oh, the killer got Al. What a shame." Owen said, trying to sound worried but clearly not caring for his teammate.
"Yeah we're missing Geoff right now." Bridgette said. "What happened to him?"
"Also we're missing Bowie and Harold." Jen pointed out.
"So Harold is missing because of the punishment for coming in last during the last challenge. The other 4 are the "killers" if you may." Chris said by putting quotation marks on the word killers. "Chef and Blaineley have assigned each of them a team to hunt down, their job is to nab their assigned team, if they nab everyone on their assigned team, they earn immunity for their team no matter what. Your job is to follow a series of clues and catch the killer if you can."
Back in the seats, Heather who was sitting next to Millie still looked concerned, "I wonder if Alejandro is our team's killer? He is really crafty." Heather stated.
"I am unsure, but I read up on Jack The Ripper and he only has a few confirmed kills so this challenge shouldn't be that scary." Millie said.
Heather was casually listening to Millie, but looked back to see that Lindsay was gonna try and talk to Millie again, so Heather mouthed to Katie, "Distract her."
Katie didn't need to be told twice what to do, "Hey Lindsay, what do you think of London?" Katie asked.
"This place is so romantic." Lindsay awed. "I want to revisit this place, when it is not under the weight of Chris and the show."
"Also be with Tyler." Katie teased as Lindsay shook her head. "Things still aren't good between you guys?" Katie asked, now concerned.
"It's just awkward. For now I am glad he and I aren't on the same team, spending time apart might help us." Lindsay reasoned. "Has spending so much time away from Sally helped you?" Lindsay asked.
"Sadie." Katie said before sighing in sadness. "I miss her so much. But I know I'm strong and she'll be proud of who she sees when either I get eliminated or hopefully I win." Katie explained.
A little ways away was Gwen sitting with Bridgette and both Scott and Courtney sitting together as Gwen was excited for the challenge, "This is perfect I know a ton about the Ripper. I gave a speech about him in sixth grade." Gwen explained.
"That's unexpectedly useful for the team, I'm shocked." Courtney said. "I did a speech on the Tower of London so that should help."
"All of us leading together, should have this challenge made." Bridgette said as she saw Courtney shook her head. "What?"
"I'm the leader of the team." Courtney defiantly said. "But I guess you could co-lead Bridgette, just don't get in my way." Courtney demanded as Bridgette meekly nodded.
"I'll help you out Bridgette, the librarian found my fascination with Jack The Ripper morbid and offensive." Gwen stated. "Trust me you're just as much a part of this team as any of us."
"Hmph." Courtney grunted in frustration. "I don't need any help, it's like I said last season, if you want something done you do it yourself." Courtney complained. "What do you think Scott?"
"I agree, you're a good leader." Scott said, still infatuated with Courtney.
'Thanks, you're the best." Courtney said without much thought. This made Scott extremely giddy, and he had a huge grin plastered on his face.
Confessional- Scott
"I'm the best according to the girl of my dreams. Ah!" Scott said, sounding lovestruck.
Tower of London
Everyone was standing outside the entrance of the Tower of London, with everyone with their teams, as Chris and Blaineley stood by four older men in British uniforms. "Your challenge is to follow a series of clues, through the tower complex." Chris explained.
"These clues will take you to your killer's secret lair, and hopefully you catch them. The clues won't be easy to find and you will have to keep an eye out to make sure you aren't nabbed by your team's killer." Blaineley further explained.
"Your first clue is gonna be found in the changing of the guards, and by changing the guards you have to strip the guard down to their boxers if it comes to it. Not anything more." Chris sternly said.
"Trust me, after the Amazon challenge where both Tyler and Cody showed their dicks to the entire viewing audience. We don't want any angry viewers." Blaineley further said.
"Wait, we have to strip a dude?" Tyler asked as Chris nodded. "No way dudes, I'm out. Someone else can but not me."
"Fine, suit yourself, that just incentivizes the killers to catch you, as you never know where they are." Chris told Tyler.
"Also for a little inspiration." Blainenely said as the musical note played and everyone groaned.
Musical Number
"It's creepy how they stand there and won't even blink." Owen said as he walked up to the guard, nervous.
"Well, what do you think, the guard isn't gonna let his pay shrink." Damien explained to Owen, annoyed at the first one's statement.
"I don't want to see his butt all naked and pink." Sky told everyone as she shuddered in disgust.
"Hey buddy can we bribe you to strip yourself down?" Noah asked.
"Yum yum Happy Go Time Fish?" Owen asked back.
"Don't kill him you clown." Sky and Noah scolded Owen before looking at each other awkwardly.
"There's no way I could strip him, what would Geoff think?" Bridgette asked, looking around.
"And I am allergic to uniforms." Heather tried to convince her teammates.
"Nah you're just weak." Julia rebuked Heather's attempt to not do the challenge.
"Only the strongest of us should do this and won't miss a beat." Katie sang before turning to look at Julia. "That's why you should do it as long as you don't cheat."
"Are you kidding me deadbeat?" Julia asked, offended as she walked up to the guard.
Back at Team Toxic Bears, Kitty picked the song back up, "I've made a vow that Cody's the only man for me." Kitty sang as she looked at Cody from afar.
"So, wait, that leaves me, and I have an injury." Gwen noticed. "Ow!"
"If we're going to find that clue." Courtney sang next.
"There's only one thing to do." Kitty added.
"Force someone to strip that man down and Gwen that's you." Bridgette said as she comforted Gwen, and Courtney shoved her to strip the guard. "Not necessary." Bridgette told Courtney.
Meanwhile on Fashionably Dorky, Topher and Mickey were doing rock paper scissors. "If we're gonna find that clue." Topher sang first.
"There's only one thing to do." Mickey sang back to Topher.
Both then looked over and pointed right at Cody, "Force a dude to strip him down, and Cody man that's you." Topher and Mickey sang as Cody looked annoyed and stunned. Both Topher and Mickey were smirking at Cody as Topher knew about Mickey and Cody's kiss while Mickey wanted payback for the tense interaction the last hour he has had with Cody.
"Hey Kitty look, it looks just like Cody, and you could make him strip." Gwen told Kitty as the guard had a mask that looked identical to Cody's face.
"Sure, that should help us win the challenge I bet." Kitty says as she quickly begins doing the challenge. "This is Cody. This is Cody." Kitty told herself.
"Yeah, we're gonna find that clue." Gwen sang as the hat was torn off and landed on Bridgette's head.
"She's doing what Chris proposed." Bridgette sang next, smiling at Gwen as the neck piece flew off behind him.
"We got someone to strip him down" Courtney told Scott who was wearing the neck piece.
"Cause if we don't, we're hosed." All 4 of Courtney, Scott, Bridgette, and Gwen sang together, even if Scott was kind of reluctant.
"Totally hosed." Courtney closed the song, singing the last word on a high note.
Back To Challenge
After the song ended, Scott took off the neck piece as Courtney looked at him, "Are you okay with the whole concept of stripping a dude?" Courtney asked.
Scott at first looked offended. "Of course why wouldn't I be?"
"One word. Paris." Courtney flatly said.
Scott then realized why Courtney asked him. "I'm just saying it's weird how anatomically correct." Scott explained."
"Found it!" Kitty said off screen as the camera focused on her, "PUll a top at Southern Spire?" Kitty read. "What does that mean?" Kitty asked.
Courtney gasped in shock, "I know exactly where that is, let's go."
Blaineley however walked up to the team, "Hold on, we need at least one of you to put the clothes back on the guard." Blaineley demanded.
Everyone on Toxic Bears, looked at Kitty as she sighed in annoyance, "Fine I will do it."
Team Princess had also heard Blaineley's instructions as Julia had just found the clue. "Hold up. None of us are going anywhere, we're going to save time and have all of us put the clothes on the guard, so none of us get captured." Julia demanded.
Heather rolled her eyes, "Fine whatever."
On Fashionably Dorky, Jen volunteered immediately to put the guard back together, "He needs to be in perfect fashion sense." Jen declared. "I'll be back with you guys soon."
"We should have had Mickey left behind." Cody told himself quietly.
"Cody did you say something buddy?" Mickey asked his crush and best friend, in confusion.
"Nope. I'm fine." Cody said gritting his teeth internally in pure anger.
Medieval Room
Both Toxic Bears and Fashionably Dorky had made it to the stretch room, as Courtney gasped, "This is where Evelyn was beheaded by King Henry the 8th." Courtney said.
"That's disturbing eh." Ezekiel said. "Beheading someone, treated like a wild animal." Ezekiel told himself.
"What's with the creepy bench?" Zoey asked. "It's freaking me out."
Chef had walked up to both teams in a medieval outfit, "It's a medieval torture rack. Each team has to put someone on the rack and stretch them out."
"I volunteer…. Ezekiel." Gwen said, trying to think of who would be the most expendable if something went wrong.
"I agree." Scott and Courtney said at the same time.
"Bridgette, what do you say?" Gwen asked.
Bridgette just sighed sadly, "Ezekiel should have a good pain tolerance I guess."
On Fashionably Dorky however tensions were higher. "I want Mickey on that rack." Cody quickly said.
"Excuse me?" Mickey asked, thinking his ears deceived him.
"I know I'm too weak to go through it, and Zoey and Topher shouldn't do it either." Cody explained. "Which leaves you."
Mickey was thrown off by Cody's cold attitude but decided enough was enough. "Then I volunteer you Cody. You're physically stronger than me."
"So I guess we are breaking the tie." Topher said, pointing to himself and Zoey. "I want Cody to do it." Topher said, as he then pointed towards Cody.
"Are you serious, why?" Cody asked incredulously.
Topher had to quickly think on his feet, "Look at as a redemption for being mauled by a bear in Season 1." Topher told Cody, as the latter just sighed in defeat and took his position.
"Jen, what do you think?" Zoey asked, before looking around and realizing the truth, "Oh right, she's still not here."
London Tower Hallway
Kitty and Jen had both managed to get their guards dressed and were trying to find their way through the castle. "That is another dead end." Jen flatly said.
"Yeah, my sense of direction isn't as great as I want it to be. Maybe I've been spending too much time with Katie." Kitty joked to Jen, before hearing something crash on the ground. "What was that?"
"I don't know." Jen said before she saw two killers, and both her and Kitty were too frozen in fear to move and were swiftly captured. "This is embarrassing for the first challenge since Trent left," Jen lamented. "Note to self, think things through."
"Speaking tangentially about Trent. I hope Cody's doing okay." Kitty told herself.
"I can keep an eye on him, since we are on the same team now." Jen explained.
London Tower
Back outside Team Princess, they had just finally put their guard's outfit back together, "We have so much ground to make up." Heather yelled out as they all took off, no doubt being slowed down by Julia throwing the guard's clothes all around when she stripped the man.
While Team Princess left, Team Brawn Dunces was in a definitive last now, "Tyler are you throwing us the competition?" Noah asked.
"I'm not." Tyler said, offended. "I have had to take a guy's clothes off with his teeth, you try it." Tyler barked back.
Noah however was confused now, "Chris and Blaineley said nothing about doing it with teeth." Noah told an embarrassed Tyler.
Owen however was living in his own world. "Look guys, I'm the queen." Owen said as everyone looked at him in weirdness as Owen did a British accent next, "I ate too many beans at the Royal Luncheon." Owen said as he was trying to do an easy fart joke which made Noah snicker and Sky laugh completely.
Damien however felt out of place, "I am taking a bathroom break. Can I have a buddy, so I am not easy bait?" Damien asked.
"Fine, nerdy boy." Anne Maria said, annoyed.
Bathroom
Right outside the bathroom nearby the location, Damien was freaked out. "This team is full of absolute freaks." Damien said.
"Agreed, especially Owen, he is so immature." Anne Maria said, until she heard a crash sounding. "Aah! Damien, is it? Are you okay?!" Anne Maria asked. "Or at least not be so disgusting." Anne Maria said.
"I didn't make that noise." Damien said off screen, before telling Anne Maria. "Run!"
However, it was too late for both of them, and both were in a bag together. Damien had done his bathroom duty, but was now screaming and didn't hear the killer talk behind the mask. "That was for Owen." the killer who was obviously Jo said to herself.
"Oh, shut up already!" Anne Maria told Damien while also in the sack.
Blaineley then popped out on screen. "19 people left for the challenge, who is getting captured next?" Blaineley asked rhetorically. "Find out after the break!" The screen then went black for the commercial break.

Author Notes
So sorry for the delay, and we haven't even gotten to who gets eliminated in this episode proper as this is only part 1. This chapter is meant to set up each of the team's early dynamics. For a refresher here are the teams.
Toxic Bears: Gwen, Courtney, Scott, Kitty, Bridgette, Geoff, and Ezekiel.
Brawn Dunces: Alejandro, Owen, Sky, Tyler, Noah, Damien, and Anne Maria.
Princess: Heather, Jo, Lindsay, Katie, Millie, Julia, and Duncan
Fashionably Dorky: Jen, Bowie, Harold, Mickey, Cody, Zoey, and Topher
So, the early dynamics are Toxic Bears having only Ezekiel and Gwen vulnerable for elimination, and what does Courtney want to confess to Scott? For Brawn Dunces it is the trio of Owen, Sky and Noah in which will be obviously further explored in the back half of the episode. Team Princess is Heather trying to get Millie as an ally while also having Lindsay to deal with. Lastly, Fashionably Dorky is obviously everything with Cody and Mickey, with Zoey and Topher trying to figure out how to help them, with Topher figuring stuff out with Anne Maria.
Now for the twists, the extra vote at elimination is meant to make the elimination unpredictable and have more cross team interactions. Also, I wanted Chris to face a punishment for having the whole fuel fiasco and him losing luxury and being forced to live in the cockpit seemed fitting.
Stay tuned for Part 2 which will hopefully not take as long as this did. Where we see the rest of the challenge, another side comes out in one of the contestants, and a fun cameo I have planned. Not to mention an elimination of an early front runner will take place as well. Stay tuned, and please review/leave feedback.
