It was a beautiful morning as the two RV's drove to their next destination.

In the panther's RV, there was a long line for the bathroom. "Hey miss cranky pants! Some of us would like to use the bathroom." Jo yelled while banging on the door. "In a minute!" Courtney replied loudly. "Evil does not obey the lesser evil!" Max bellowed. Leshawna rolled her eyes.

~in the Panther confessional~

"Sheesh! Who picked the weirdos?! I guess the producers are really desperate for hugs ratings." Leshawna complained

~confessional ends~

Courtney finally steps out. "The bathroom is all yours." "Finally." Jo said but then Anne Maria rushes inside shutting the door. Everyone groaned. "I bet those wolves are having a bad morning too." Dave said with a smirk and his eyes closed. "Do you seriously believe that?" Cody said with an indifferent look. "No." He responded as slouched.

Meanwhile at the Wolves RV, Erin woke up slowly and starts getting out of bed. After she got ready, the shy contestant took a peek at where the others are. Everyone, except Jasmine who was in the girl's bathroom, sat down to breakfast. Erin sees Mike and Zoey sitting across from each other with lovey dovey expressions on their faces. Mike sees her peeking. "Hey Erin, why don't you sit down with us?" "Yeah, we don't bite." Sam commented. "Uh...sure thanks." She nervously walks up.

~in the wolf confessional~

"I can't believe I am on the same team with Mike and Zoey. This is so cool! All I need to do is be a team player and not blow it. Besides the last thing I want to be is accidentally labeled as the new Sierra." Erin said with excitement.

~confessional ends~

Without warning the RV went through a small pothole and made the vechile bounce. Erin fell to the floor. "Are you okay?" Zoey asked with concern as she was about to help her up. The new girl rose up quickly. "I'm fine." she said as Erin sits down next to Sam.

Jasmine stepped out of the bathroom and said, "Those bunk beds were surprisingly comfy and roomy.". "I know and the bathrooms are incredible and don't get me started on the food. It's like the McClain spa hotel on wheels." Mike said and Zoey nods in agreement. "I agree the amenities are pleasant and making this trip bearable but let's not forget why we are here. We're here to win, not on vacation." Sky said to everyone. Gwen rolled her eyes.

~in the wolf confessional~

"Look Sky is nice and all but if she starts barking orders at us, I am convincing the others to vote her off in we lose today's challenge. It's nothing personal, the last thing we need is another Courtney." Gwen said sounding slightly irritated.

...

"Okay so maybe I sounded a bit bossy, but I have to get this team focused. We were lucky last time, the outcome of today's challenge could be different. Anyway, just to be safe I should form an alliance with one of the players. Let's see, Mike and Zoey are a tight couple and so are Shawn and Jasmine. Dawn is okay but she freaks me out with all that aura reading stuff, Sam was somewhat helpful yesterday but I can't take my chances. Gwen has a lot of experience Being a contestant on Total Drama but she's friends with that indie girl and wouldn't join an alliance without her. Besides, Zoey wouldn't be interested anyway, a rookie mistake. I can't believe someone like her made it to the All Stars season finale. So the only possible players are Brick which makes sense; Brick is disciplined and good at following orders. As for Samey, she'll be Plan B incase my alliance with Brick goes South or he gets voted off." Sky suddenly feels the RV stopping. "Better see what's up." She said as Sky steps out of the confessional.

~confessional ends~

Chris was standing in front of a red curtain. "Morning everyone, how did everyone sleep? Well I know the Wolves look well rested." "So why bother asking?" "Sheesh, looks like a certain CIT didn't have her morning coffee. Anyway, time for today's challenge." Sky gasped when she saw Dave stepping out of the Panther RV. "Wait a minute! What's Dave doing here?!" "Oh yeah, Dave came back and is now on Team Panther." Sky groaned.

~in the wolf confessional~

"Like a Zombie Apocalypse, this is going to get ugly." Shawn commented on that particular situation.

~confessional ends~

Dave noticed Erin. "Um...who's that?" "That's Erin and she is on Team Wolf. Everyone caught up? Good." "Sir! Permission to ask for our current location?" "Permission granted Brick." "Where are we?" "Welcome to Parc de la Jacques Cartier, outside of Quebec." "Wait a minute our challenge is at a park? Outside of civilization? Is this a physical challenge? Why don't we have it there? You know where the hospitals are?" "Shut it Dave, even Cameron has more guts than you." "Thank you Jo. Now since we had two crazy challenges yesterday I thought it might be fun to play a game I like to call..." The curtain pulls revealing a game show set on top of a steep hill. "...Name that Knick Knack! Now get to your seats; wolves on the left and panthers on the right." Everyone sat down as Chris instructed. "Okay, here are the rules; I will describe a certain Knick knack by it's features, first one to hit the buzzer must say the name of this item, get it right and you earn a point for your team." "What happens if we get it wrong?" "I'm glad you asked Sam. Anyone familiar with that old nursery rhyme?" "Yeah?" Dave asked sounding unsure.

~in the Panther confessional~

"Honestly I have no clue, when I was a kid I had this incident at the lake with some geese and it turned ugly. Long story short it's the reason why I'm afraid of Mother Goose." Dave said looking nervous and confused.

~confessional ends~

"If you get it wrong, you have to roll down this hill and fall into one of those mystery vats we have lined up. Each vat contains either something pleasant or really nasty. Everyone ready? Good, time to start the game. This item can be seen during the holidays, they say you can make a wish on it, and you can shake it up as much as you want." Samey immediately hits the buzzer first. "Samey?" "Snow globe!" "Correct. Wolves get a point." The wolves cheered and congratulated Samey. "Pfft. Big deal, that question was easy." Courtney said in a mean and sarcastic tone.

~in the wolf confessional~

"Courtney reminds me so much of Amy; bossy and mean." Samey said as she shivers at that creepy thought.

~confessional ends~

"Okay, next question; This Knick knack can be hung on a wall, and has been seen in movies and TV shows..." Sugar hit the buzzer before Chris can finish his question. "A moose head!" "No, it's a cat kitchen clock." "What?!" The obsessed beauty pageant queen yelled out. "If you'd let me finish the question you would've gotten it right. Now get rolling." Sugar get out of her seat and starts rolling down the hill landing in a vat filled with cream of toe jam. Everyone was grossed out while Chris laughed. Sugar returned to her seat pouting. "Ew! Don't come near me toe girl!" "Shut it spray can chick!" Chris used his airhorn to break up the fight between Sugar and Anne Maria. "Moving on, this Knick knack can look like a living being and can also be made of wood, ceramic, or porcelain." Zoey hits the buzzer. "Zoey? Your answer?" "A figurine." "Correct! Wolves 2, Panthers 0." Courtney gave her teammates a glare and yelled, "Come on! Get your heads in the game!" Leshawna, Jo, Anne Maria and Sugar glared back. Rodney became concerned and spoke up. "Courtney is smart like...a scientist...and...ugh."

~in the Panther confessional~

"I had to save my Courtney from being voted off." Rodney said heroically with a slight tone of affection.

~confessional ends~

"If you Panthers are done chit chatting I'd like to move on with this game. "The sooner the better." Jo remarked. "Now next question, this Knick knack has a good beat when around music..." Anne Maria hits the buzzer and yelled out, "Dancing flower!" "Correct, the score is now 2 to 1." Chris announced. "Finally, we have a point." Courtney said with a sigh of relief.

And so the game show montage begins; Sam got one right about the action figurines, Sierra got one wrong and rolls into a vat of mud, Jo crawled returned after rolling into a vat full of worms, Zoey got one right and so did Dave, Sky rolls into a vat of oysters, Rodney rolls into honey, Cody gets one right, Dave gets one wrong and rolls into a vat of feathers, Max rolls into a vat of dirty diapers, Anne Maria rolls into fruit punch, Samey climbs out a vat full of guacamole, and so on.

"Man, loads of humiliation and yet the score is 9 to 9. Which mean it's time for a tie breaker!" Chris announced again. Some of the contestants groaned. "Hey quit whining." Courtney said to her teammates when Dave remarked, "Hey, at least we faced the vats." "Seriously? You only rolled into a vat once and it was full of feathers." "Courtney! Dave! Zip it! In this lightening round, you but you must pick one person on your team who hasn't got a question wrong. Get it right your teams wins, get it wrong and you have to face the ultimate vat of mystery!" Chris points to the large vat that was just set up. "Evil chooses Courtney!" Max bellowed. "You know for once, I agree with this dude. I second that motion." Leshawna said. Courtney was shocked as the others, except Rodney, who raised their hands in agreement. "Cool, wolves have you decided yet? If you don't, I can pick for you." Chris looks at Zoey hoping she'll volunteer. "I'll do it." Erin said as she rose up from her seat and the others gasped. "What?!" Gwen's eyes widened with astonishment.

"Okay Erin the newbie versus CIT Courtney, this should be interesting. Now...for the bonus question..." Everyone waited with anticipation. "For one point, what is the North American name for Knick knack?" There was a moment of silence between the competitors until Courtney hits her buzzer. "Trinket!" "True, that is another word for Knick knack but I said this is a North American term." Chris explained and Erin hit the buzzer. "What's your answer Erin?" "Tchotchke!" "Correct! The Sapphire Wolves win!" The wolves cheered and lifted Erin in the air. Chris turned his head to the dumbstruck CIT. "Courtney, time to get rolling." She sign as Courtney rose from her seat and started rolling all the way into the vat but then screamed with horror. "Ahhhhhhhh! Green jelly!" She got out quickly and ran around screaming when Sugar stopped her. "Hoowee, you are lucky!" She licks the jelly off Courtney's face and the CIT was even more freaked out.

Later that afternoon, Courtney, Rodney, Dave, Justin, Anne Maria and Jo Are having a little pow wow discussing who is going home. "We have to get rid of Sugar, she is annoying and the reason why we lost since she got most of the questions wrong." "I agree with Courtney." Rodney spoke in a dreamily tone. "That girl is like platform shoes, totally out of style." Anne Maria commented. "Are you sure? Why don't we vote off Cody? He practically the weakest link." Dave suggested when Jo slapped him upside the head and said, "Normally I'd agree with you but if we vote him off Sierra will go ballistic and that's the last thing we need. The girl is already crazy." "Alright sheesh. Justin what do you think?" "I'm good with whatever." The super model said while looking at himself with a mirror. Dave raised an eyebrow questioning Justin being here.

~in the panther's confessional~

"Honestly I was going to suggest we vote of Justin since he didn't answer any questions and all he does is admiring himself but I've already got on Jo's bad side and I don't to make any enemies. Plus, Sugar is driving everyone crazy. I have to hang in there until Merge Day. This is going to be a long season."

~confessional ends~

At the panther's second elimination ceremony, everyone waited for the results of the voting process. "Alright, there are eleven of you and I have ten green hackie sacks. When I call your name I toss you one, the person who doesn't Get one will take a one way trip on the Hayride of Shame and never come back. The following players are safe; Anne Maria, Dave, Max, Cody, Leshawna, Rodney, Sierra, Jo, and Courtney. The last hackie sack goes to...Justin." "What?! No?! Why Panthers?!" "Because you are a pain in the neck and all that stuff you said about being talented? You are so not." Anne Maria smirked. Chef escorted Sugar to Hayride of Shame. She hopped on and the truck drove off. Jasmine and Shawn were watching everything from the Wolves RV. "Yes!" The zombie fighter yelled out enthusiastically. "It's about time that kooky koala hit the road." They went back to celebrating with the others.

Chris is outside doing his signoff. "Finally it's one down and twenty one to go. Who will be next to take the bumpy humiliating hayride? Find out next time on Total Drama Road Warriors!"
