Previously on Total Drama Island, our campers first came on the island. However, things didn`t go as planned as one of the boats arrived late, and also missing two of the campers who apparently jumped ship before the competition ever began! This lead to there only being 20 campers in the competition for $100,000. Our two teams the Screaming Gophers and the Killer Bass are about to start their first elimination challenge! So stay tuned for all the action, excitement, and heartbreak, on Total. Drama. Island!
(intro theme song)
After the intro we cut back to the girls of the Killer Bass unpacking. Ariel is chatting with her invisible friend at the door informing him that boys aren`t allowed in the girls dorm. Lisa is bouncing on the bed talking excitedly to Danielle. "Wow! This is so cool! I was hoping we`d be roomies, but I never thought we would actually be together!" Danielle responds in kind with her own smile. "I know right? I totally feel like the four of us girls here are like kindred spirits! The fact that we`re together is so so cool!" Thinking for a minute Alexa puts a finger to her lips. "Say, aren`t there supposed to be five of us here?" Meanwhile, Sarah is blatantly in the room, although no one seems to notice.
*Confessional*
Sarah: Yep.
*End Confessional*
The Killer Bass male dorm room is pretty active as well. Curtis is reading a monologue book aloud while Vincent is blathering on to Fox about Shania. Fox is doing his best to listen intently, but it`s apparent that he just doesn`t care. Meanwhile Slick is enjoying the nice comfy bed face down. He lets out a deep sigh which is muffled by the pillow. "Ahh…that feeths nithe " Harald uses this opportunity to glance over to Slick. "So, you doing time?" Slick raises his head slightly to answer. "I take it that was rhetorical." He says raising an eyebrow. Harald lets out a soft chuckle. "Yeah, it was. So tell me. What did you do?" Slick does his best to shrug. "Let`s see..would you buy spitting on the Queen of England?" Harald crosses his arms and laughs again. "Probably not." Slick shrugs again. "Sad, cause that`s all you`re getting today."
*Confessional*
Harald: Hm. It`s extremely obvious slick doesn`t want to go home, because…well, he wouldn`t be going home. If the girls are going to be as thick as thieves, I think perhaps I need to be thick WITH a thief. (he steeples his fingers at his own joke)
(a loud booooo! Can be heard offscreen)
(shocked that someone from the crew heard him, Harald`s expression turns to shock for a moment)
*End Confessional*
The Screaming Gopher females on the other hand aren`t having so swell of a time. In fact, the only one seemingly in any sort of complacency is Viola who is reading a book on her bed. It is hard to do so though as currently Valerie is in an argument with Gerdie. "And I`m telling you that I need the top bunk. I can`t sleep with someone above me!" "Well maybe you should have called dibs when you first got here!" Gerdie responds in an irritated fashion, Valerie rolls her eyes. "Dibs? What are we in middle school?" She takes a moment to look down at Gerdie`s torso, which is severely lacking in some areas. She smiles cruelly and crosses her arms raising an eyebrow at Gerdie. "Well, I guess for some of us this might be like middle school."
*Confessional*
Gerdie: (Gerdie is sitting there annoyed, but obviously covering herself with crossed arms with a slight tinge of pink on her cheeks.)… Bitch.
*End Confessional*
*Confessional*
Valerie: Oh my god. I am such a bitch! Rawr! Haha. (she makes a cat claw while making the noise)
*End Confessional*
Meanwhile Rebecca is completely ignoring the two as she is investigating the building. "I`m not certain this building is up to code." She says simply as she pokes one of the support beams as it makes a creaking noise. "No, definitely not up to code." Koh rolls her eyes at this. "Well then maybe you should stop poking it Sherlock." Rebecca stands up, rubbing her magnifying glass with a piece of cloth.
"While I thank you for the complemental name, I assure you I am more along the lines of Sam Spade than I am of Sherlock, although I do enjoy his novels now and again. Ah, I do apologize, I have not introduced myself. The name is Rebecca Bravo. A pleasure Ms. Lewandowski." Hearing her own name took Koh back for a moment.
"How in the hell do you know my last name?" Replacing the glass back in her pants, Rebecca looks back at Koh. "I take it upon myself to research all the contestants. To find out who would be a strong ally and who is likely to fall first. You my dear Ms. Lewandowski seem to be a strong contender in this competition and I would rather stay on your good side if I could."
Koh thinks for a moment before turning back to Rebecca. "Did you say EVERY contestant?" She nods in response. Koh smiles back at her. "Rebecca, can I call you Rebecca? I would LOVE for you to be on my good side. I think we have a lot to discuss."
*Confessional*
Koh: Not exactly the alliance I had in mind, but having a detective on your hands might not be the worst thing in the world.
*End Confessional*
*Confessional*
Rebecca: (This being her first time in the confessional, she looks around it with extreme scrutiny with her glass.) What can I say? Circumstance makes strange bedfellows.
*End Confessional
Finally we head over to the male Screaming Gophers` cabin. Alex is relaxing, free from the irritation that is Vincent. If he could sleep, this would be the time that he would. Unfortunately for Alex, although he is trying his best, that just isn`t happening. Meanwhile, Gran is offering Horus a deck of cards, telling him to pick one.
Horus thinks for a moment before picking one. "Okay. This one." Pulling the card out of the deck he looks at it. Smiling, Gran puts the deck down. "Fantastic. Now tear up the card." Horus looks at him quizzically. Are you sure? Gran simply flashes a white smile in response. "Of course I am!" Shrugging, Horus tears up the card.
Standing up straight, Gran puts out his hands and waggles his fingers. "Hocus pocus Kalamazoo!" There is a flash of light and a puff of smoke but when it clears, nothing has happened. Horus` eyes shift back and forth and then looks back to Gran. "Was…was something supposed to happen?"
Gran opens his mouth to speak, but only a hoarse "GWAHK" comes out. In a few moments, his face begins to turn blue as he tries hitting his chest, but to no avail. Seeing this, Horus stands up quickly. "Oh my gosh! Gran I`ll save you!" Leaping behind him he immediately begins to do the Heimlich on him, raising him off the ground to the best of his ability with his limited strength. In a few moments, something pops out of his mouth onto the ground. Color returns to Gran`s face as Horus bends down to pick up the item that popped out of his mouth. Unfurling the item he sees that it`s a playing card which he looks at. Within in a moment he`s smiling. "Hey! This was my card! That`s a pretty cool trick Gran!"
Woozily, Gran waggles his fingers. "Alaka-" But before he can finish, he falls face first onto the ground with a loud CRASH.
Christian merely rolls his eyes as he moves around the cabin with a handiman`s belt. "I swear, this place is going to fall apart. Do I have to do everything?" Nate sees this as he is relaxing on the bed. "You ever heard of relaxing dude?" Christian looks back at Nate with an irritated face. "If everyone relaxes then nothing gets done." Nate simply shrugs and goes back to relaxing, putting ear buds in his ears.
It is then that the campers hear an extremely loud air horn coming from outside. Some more excitedly than others make their way out front. Within a few minutes all twenty campers have made their way outside to a smiling Chris.
"Well hello there everyone. Are you ready for your first competition?" Members like Lisa are nodding eagerly while others like Alex are shrugging indifferently. "Well I hope you are. Follow me." Motioning with his hand he begins to lead everyone towards an open field where after about a minute of walking they line up with their respective teams.
"So, you have gotten to meet your fellow campers on your team and said maybe what? A few dozen words to them?" The campers shrug at this assessment. Chris smiles deviously at this. "That`s good. Because now, you`re going to put your fate in their hands." The campers all look at each other with a combination of confused and a tad frightened.
Chris picks up a box and opens it. Inside is a stack of black blindfolds. He begins explaining as he passes them around. "Here`s how this is going to work. Everyone put your blindfolds on." They dutifully do so. "I will ask you a simple question. Do you want immunity from this challenge? If you raise your hand, then you want immunity and you cannot be voted off tonight. The team with the most raised hands will lose a member at the bonfire ceremony. "
Hearing this, Gerdie scoffs. "Raise our hands? We in preschool?" Even though she can`t see it, Chris` smile is dripping with pleasure at what he`s going to say next. "Oh trust me Gerdie. You`re going to want to be very very nice to me. You`ll find out soon enough why."
Regaining his composure he stood back up straight. "As I was saying there are a few catches. First of all, if everyone raises their hands, then nobody is safe and both teams will vote off a member. Same if no one does. If you choose to raise your hand however, you will have to wear a chicken hat until the end of the next elimination challenge."
Chris looks over at the contestants who are now all standing there blindfolded. "Everyone understand the rules?" After a few moments of comprehending what he is saying, everyone shrugs and nods with no verbal disagreement or confusion. Chris smiles. "Very good. Time to find out which of your teammates is a big fat chicken and who actually has some guts. Some guts that might be spilled tonight."
*Confessional*
Harald: I see what the guy`s doing. Those of us that don`t raise their hands are going to be pissed off at the ones that do because then we lose the challenge. So right off the bat, even though we barely know the people we`re already going to be pissed at some of them causing discord in our ranks. (he puts a finger to his lips) Not bad. A little weak, but not bad.
*End Confessional*
Chris smiles looking over the campers. "All right. Begin."
The challenge ends in a few moments as there are only a few hesitations. Out of the 20 members only a paltry 7 hands go up.
Chris nods and speaks up "All right, very good. You may put your hands down now."
There`s a collective groan from the crowd as what he said just signified that quite a few people raised their hands. Chris continued. "You are also free to take off your blindfolds." They all take them off, but Danielle does so a little quicker, having been breathing rather deeply throughout her whole ordeal with the blindfold on.
Looking between each other, the campers began to guess who could have possibly raised their hands. They don`t have to wait long as Chris begins to speak again. "It was pretty close, we actually had less hands up than I thought we would. But in the end, 7 of you decided to chicken out. So we have a winner. With 4 hands to 3. The team sending somebody home tonight will be…."
He drags out the pause at length in an obvious attempt for dramatic tension.
"The Screaming Gophers"
A cheer rises from the Killer Bass as the Screaming Gophers let out an audible groan. Seeming like music to his ears, Chris takes in the groans and smiles widely at their obvious pain. "Now will our chickens please come forward?" Everyone on both teams but especially the Gophers glare at each other waiting to see who will take a hat.
Chris breaks the tension by speaking up. "Rebecca, Christian, Danielle, Koh, Alex, Lisa, and Sarah, please come get your hats."
After hearing the seven names, Gerdie turns to Valerie. "YOU didn`t raise your hand?" She raises an eyebrow in response. "What? I`m not THAT much of a bitch."
The seven dutifully come forward and bend over to wear their chicken hat of shame. After a moment however, Christian starts to sniff the air. "Hey uh, Chris. Is it just me or do our hats stink?"
Chris laughs in response. "No, you`re not imagining it. Those chicken hats you`re wearing are actually raw chicken."
Alex moves his hand away from his hat and wipes it on his shirt. "You gave us RAW chickens to wear on our head until the next elimination?" In response Chris raises an eyebrow. "Well I said you`d get the chicken hat. What did you THINK I meant?" Alex would have put his finger to his chin, but it was covered in chicken juice now, so he didn`t. "I…don`t know exactly."
As if to cut off his train of thought, a loud whirring noise started overhead which began to blow strong gusts of wind at the campers, causing Horus to gasp in surprise. "What in the world is that?"
Not even bothering to look up, Chris continus to smile as he begins to yell over the gale force winds. "Remember when I said you had to wear those until the next elimination challenge?"
As if on cue, a large crate drops from the helicopter, landing on the ground. It shakes in response to the impact. Dropping off its cargo, the chopper flies away.
"Well don`t worry. Because that elimination challenge. Is right now." Everyone gasps, and a moment later, Alex speaks up. "I thought you said we were safe from elimination tonight!" In response to this, Chris smiles back. "I did, and you are. But this isn`t for the vote tonight. This is a different challenge. No votes, no bonfire. You lose this, you go home right now."
After finishing his sentence, the crate opens, to reveal a jaguar in a cage. A rather hungry looking jaguar.
This time it was Curtis` turn to speak up. "You`re going to release a Jaguar? Are you crazy?!"
Chris`s smile never left his face. "Don't worry. This is a very special Jaguar. His name is Scratchy. He is very very picky about what he eats. He only eats" he raises an eyebrow before finishing his sentence,. "Chicken."
*Confessional*
Koh: (crosses her legs and arms) Not bad Mclean. Not bad.
*End Confessional*
Chris looks at the campers not wearing hats. "Needless to say, those of you not wearing chicken hats are relatively safe. Those of you that are. HA! Not so much."
Out of the seven wearing the hats a few of them look downright terrified while Koh continues to look determined, Sarah hasn`t changed her expression, and Lisa is busy playing with her sweater.
"If you are the first one whose hat he eats, you`re out. If you lose your hat. You`re out. If you throw your hat away. Well…you`re out."
Christian looks back at Chris with a rather worried look. "Well whats to stop him from going after the rest of us or attacking the one he catches?" To this, Chris smirks at Christian. "Not to worry my man, each of these chickens have enough tranquilizers to knock out a bull elephant. It should kick in before he does any lasting damage to any of you. But now, I`d start running." Reaching into his pocket he takes out a key.
As if the key were a gun, the campers are off like a shot, except for Lisa who Danielle has to physically begin to drag away before she gets the idea.
After giving them what he thinks is a decent head start, Chris looks to the camera. "Now this is what I call television." And proceeds to unlock the cage. In an instant the jaguar springs out and begins to chase the campers. At first it looks like he might attack the campers standing on the sidelines, but in a moment, it`s clear he has no interest in them.
The last of the pack was easily Christian who was lagging far behind everyone due to his being incredibly out of shape as he began to chastise himself. "Why. Did. I. Raise. My. Stupid. HAAAAAAaaaaaannnnddd?" But luckily or unluckily as it might be, Christian proceeded to make a grave misstep and trip, rolling down the hill past everyone who had previously been ahead of him. Unfortunately for Christian, he kept rolling, all the way off the edge of the cliff. "Dammnnnn itttt!" He screams as he falls what seems like an eternity into the water below. Still though, during this fall, he has the mental fortitude to hang onto his hat for dear life and sure enough, after crashing into the water, he floats up a few moments later, chicken still on his head.
Looking over the edge Chris puts his finger to his lips. "Well then. I guess Christian is going to be safe then." He looks to the cameraman. "I am so going to watch that on repeat later."
Meanwhile the Jaguar, having lost its plump target now heads towards its next victim, Lisa who had been lagging behind from the start. Looking behind herself, it appears that Lisa finally is beginning to understand the situation she`s in as she begins to run faster, but unable to lose the beast. It rears back, ready to pounce when a different motion catches its eyes. It looks over to see Danielle waving her arms back and forth in a broad motion. Looking back at its now getting away prey, the jaguar gives up on Lisa and heads towards Danielle, which, in a flash, immediately pounces on her, pinning her to the ground.
It looks down on her, licking its lips, eyes her chicken hat. Gathering every bit of courage she has, as the jaguar opens its mouth, Danielle does the same, only in her case, a series of growls come out. Hearing its native tongue. The jaguar pauses and tilts its head sideways. Continuing her verbal barrage of the great cat, it slowly backs off of her and puts its ears down backing away.
Rebecca slides down from her spot in a tree and Koh stops running, having gotten pretty far ahead. Scratchy then proceeds to back up further and further until it reaches the door of its cage. However, its hind legs hitting the cage, it lets out another roar.
Chris smirks with a half eye closed smile. "I don`t think he`s going to go in there unless he gets a chicken." Everyone begins to look at their hats and to the Jaguar. Danielle, who had basically saved everyone at this point, looks up at her own hat and reaches up for it. It almost leaves her head when all of sudden she is interrupted by Valerie`s voice. "Hey look! I found a free chicken!" Everyone`s eyes immediately turned to her as she proceeded to throw the chicken into the cage. The jaguar immediately lunges into the cage and starts to eat the chicken viciously as Chris closes the door behind it, locking it with the key.
Scratching his head he looks at the group. "That`s strange…we didn`t have any extra chickens. Weird." He shakes his head before looking back to the group. "Anyway, the Screaming Gophers still have to send someone home tonight. And Rebecca, Christian, Koh, and Alex are immune. Which means Valerie, Gran, Horus, Viola, Gerdie, and Nate. You are all on the chopping block."
He stops and looks back at them. "Oh. And one more thing. Remember when I said you all better realllly be nice to me?" The screaming gophers look at each other, not liking where this is going.
"Well every elimination ceremony there will be one special immunity. From yours truly. I will pick before the votes are made by you but after the challenge. As much as I want it to be on who is the biggest suckup, the producers said no." he says this frowning and furrowing his brow. "Instead it will be who either deserves it more or who the producers thinks needs to stay." He says smirking as he looks specifically at Gerdie folding up a piece of paper and placing it in a locked box.
*Confessional*
Harald: (smirks) and that`s why you don't piss off the host in the first 15 seconds.
*End Confessional*
*Confessional*
Gerdie: ….damn it.
*End Confessional*
*Confessional*
Christian: (dripping wet, chicken still on head) Did I not get eliminated? Am I still okay?
*End Confessional*
"If that person had the most votes, but get my immunity, they are fine, and the person with the SECOND most votes has to go home." He then turns to the Killer Bass. "That being said guys, enjoy the rest of your night. You are free to do whatever you want."
Hearing this, the Killer Bass high five each other and cheer. As they begin to walk away, Lisa makes her way over to Danielle. "Hey…uh.. I just wanted to say..you know, thanks for saving me back there." A bit shocked at first, Danielle smiles back at Lisa. "Hey, what are friends for?" Hearing this, Lisa stops cold. After a few moments, she gasps deeply. "Oh my gosh! We`re friends?! Then I have so much to tell you! Hey, did you know that I think Chris likes me and…" She continues ranting as they drift off back to their cabin.
The Gophers are a little less cheerful walking back to their cabin. Still, Gerdie, walking behind Valerie decides to say a few things. "You know, Valerie." The Valley girl stops, turning back and lowering her sunglasses. "You know, you didn`t have to save Danielle like that." She smirks slightly. "That was actually pretty cool of you." Valerie places the glasses back on her head. "Yeah well, don`t look too deeply into it." Letting her walk ahead Gerdie still continues to talk to her. "That was really lucky you found that chicken. I can`t believe it was Just sitting there with nobody wearing it." Valerie replies in kind. "I know, right, it was just like sitting there. Weird right? You`d think someone would have been wearing it or something."
We cut back to the location of the challenge. Sarah is standing there without a chicken hat on her head. She looks towards the camera and then back to where everyone else had been standing hours ago. "So uh.. I guess I`m eliminated? Hello? Is anyone there?" The camera zooms out. "Hello?"
Eliminated
20th: Sarah
Screaming Gophers: Valerie, Christian, Alex, Koh, Rebecca, Gran, Nate, Horus, Viola, Gerdie
