Chris started things off with a recap "Last time on Total Drama World Tour, steeped in a tradition Japan's modern allure is as fascinating as its rich history. Here is where our competitors experienced Japan's innovated entertainment, and Harold celebrated Japan's role in the world of martial arts which resulted in one of the longest eliminations in Total Drama history. What a way to have the first elimination of the season, am I right people? Harold's sacrifice means that we're 2 warriors down with 16 to go and 1 million big ones for grabs right here on Total! Drama! World Tour!"

Nightfall came, and things were calm and peaceful in first class.
Bridgette sat staring out the window of the plane and she let out a sigh 'Great, another sleepless night.'
"You can't sleep?"
Bridgette looked back and saw DJ sit down next to her "Not really, I just have a lot on my mind is all. You?"
"I started thinking about my momma and got homesick, plus this whole thing with my curse is freaking me out. I don't wanna hurt anymore animals, I mean you saw what I did to that seagull in Egypt and to the panda back in Japan."
"DJ there's no such thing as curses, the only thing true about it is that the more you believe about that stuff the more power it's going to have over you in the long run."
"You think so?"
"I know so." she looked back out the window and let out a sigh "I've got a lot on my mind too you know."
"You're still taking the whole thing with Geoff pretty hard huh?"
"Well… no not really, at least not anymore. But then…"
"Adam?"
"Well…" she blushed slightly "Yeah, it's just that whenever I'm around him I just melt into this big pile of goo."
"I noticed. Maybe he's what you needed to help you move on."
"I guess but it's not like I wanna mess up my chances at winning. I mean you saw how that turned out last season."
"Oh believe me, we all did." then he let out a laugh "Sorry again about voting you off like that."
"Don't be, I brought it on myself. Where is Adam anyway?"
"He said he wanted to gather his thoughts in solitude."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Things were quiet in the dining hall.
Adam sat in the dining hall staring at the chessboard in front of him "Perfect, I think this will work."
"Planning for the next strategy are you mi amigo?"
Adam looked up and saw Alejandro sit down next to him "Yeah, I find that it's best to do these things at night when nobody is around to eavesdrop on you."
"Are you referring to me?"
"Should I be?"
"I suppose that answer will reveal itself in time."
"I guess so. You up for a game?"
"For old times sake I suppose it wouldn't hurt, you know I myself actuslly placed 4th in the national championships last year."
"Sounds to be like you've gotten better, not that you're a match for me though. I placed 3rd in it about 2 years ago."
"Oh believe me I am well aware." he made his move.
"This may come off as a little bit out of the blue, but what would you say to an alliance between our two teams?"
"...You've peaked my interest."
"I'm saying my Team Mystery and your Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot could team up in order to take down Team Victory, or more specifically the biggest threat: Heather."
"And thus that would make it anyone's game if she were out of the picture."
"Exactly. But it's not going to be easy, with Duncan gone Heather is probably the strongest player in the game and therefore she's a major threat to both of us."
"Yes, not that she isn't attractive though."
"I'm not going there."
"Well not everyone has the same taste I suppose." Alejandro moved his knight and put Adam into check "So what do you suggest then?"
"You see I was playing a game of chess with Noah last night around the time of the elimination ceremony and he explained something to me that I think makes a lot of sense. This entire season is like a gigantic chess board, if we combine our teams together into one side then we could consider Heather to be the king of the other side, with Courtney being the queen, which means that if we try to go after either of them at the moment then they'll be well guarded by the likes of Lindsay, Sierra and Leshawna, even if one of them is very very reluctant. This means that we'll only end up hurting our own chances in the long run." as he said this he took out Alejandro's knight with his bishop and put him into check at the same time.
Alejandro studied the board for a moment "It appears that the only move I can make at the moment is to move my king forward one space."
"My point exactly." Adam grabbed his rook and placed Alejandro into check, resulting in the same pattern occurring "What I mean is that if we're going to kick Heather to the curb then we're going to have to lure her out of her comfort zone one step at a time and as soon as we've got her to the point where she's so far away from her comfort zone that there's no way she'll be able to go back… checkmate." he moved his queen and placed Alejandro into checkmate, thus ending the game.
Alejandro studied the board as well as Adam for a moment "No escape, an interesting approach to a situation such as this. How do you suggest we go about it?"
"Well first we're gonna have to whittle away at their numbers."
"Who should go first then?"
"Well keeping Lindsay around should secure Tyler's loyalty to this alliance, Noah already agreed to it when I suggested it to him last night and if he's in then that means that Owen should be in too."
"And by extension Izzy because Owen will agree to it as well, an interesting thought."
"Actually she'd join because of Zeke, I caught them making out in the luggage compartment after we left Egypt."
"...Oh. Well then I suppose it would be in the best interest of my team to agree to it."
"Good, that's settled then."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Alejandro pondered for a moment and smirked "A simple game of chess gave me a fair understanding of Adam's game plan, and I must say that from what I've observed so far he's grown into quite a sensible adversary since last we met. Should I eliminate him early on before he becomes a serious threat? No, he could be of some use to me in making it to the finals. I'll be sure to make him useful for the time being."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Morning came, and things were quiet in loser class.
Courtney noticed Leshawna holding something "Isn't that Harold's num yo? Where did you find that?"
Leshawna let out a sigh "The dang fool wanted me to have it so he left it with me right before he threw himself out of the plane."
"I'm really sorry he's gone, but I doubt he'd want you to mope around like this. He'd want you to win for him."
"Yeah I guess not, thanks girl."
"Anytime."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Courtney let out a sigh "Look I'm stuck on the same team as Heather, clearly I'm gonna need some allies. Lindsay is out of the question and Sierra is clearly unstable, lucily I should be able to use Leshawna's grudge against Heather to my advantage. Besides at least she's one of the nice ones, and Leshawna if you're watching this then you go girl!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Chris poked his head into loser class "And how is everyone doing back here? That is what I would ask if I cared." he received a number of glares "Coming through, make way."
"So where are you taking us next?" asked Leshawna "Please just let it be someplace where there's no pinball of any kind. Or pandas. Or candy fish tails that make even Latino the Wonder Boy over there puke his guts out." she gestured to Alejandro as she said this.
"Worry not Leshawna, our next destination is everything you've just asked for."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Sierra cringed involuntarily at what she heard "Thanks to my extensive viewings and reviewings and re-reviewings of Total Drama seasons 1 and 2, I can safely say with no uncertainty that when Chris says one thing he means another." she let out a sigh "Classic Chris."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Adam buckled himself into one of the seats in first class "Word of advice guys, you might wanna buckle yourself in."
"Why?" asked Zeke, only to be followed by some nasty turbulence that nearly threw everyone out of their seats.
"That's why."
Zeke needed no further coaxing or suggesting of any kind and quickly buckled himself in "You know, I realized something from not being eliminated first. Chris is a dick."
"Oh gee no kidding." this was followed by them hitting the runway and eventually skidding to a stop.
"Where are we now?"
Adam looked out the window "Looks like we're back in Canada, or the Yukon to be more specific."
"So snow?"
"And ice, freezing water and wild animals." he looked out the door of the plane from first class, only to see a drop to the ground, so he stopped everyone "Hold it guys, I've gotta hurry and get my bag." and he rushed back to first class.
Chris shoved them all out into the icy snow "Welcome to the Yukon."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
10 minutes passed, and everyone was gathered at the starting line for the challenge.
Adam made his way towards where his team was located, not even shivering or wearing any kind of jacket "Sorry, I had to get my bag."
"Whatever you think will nullify the torture." Chris grumbled dryly, clad in his own jacket.
Heather didn't take very kindly to freezing her butt off "Um hello, where the hell are our jackets?"
"Chill out, I ordered jackets for everyone here." this was met with cheers "They won't be ready for weeks but as soon as they arrive I'll be sure to hand them out." this was met with a number of groans.
"M-M-Maybe we should huddle together for warmth." Courtney suggested, with everyone else agreeing, as shown with Izzy and Zeke cuddling together, Lindsay and Leshawna both grabbing onto Alejandro, Owen grabbing a hold of Gwen, Heather, Courtney, Tyler and Noah, and with DJ and Trent huddling together.
Bridgette looked around 'That leaves…'
"Here." Adam pulled a jacket and handed it to her "It probably won't be of much help in a place like this but I figured it's better than nothing."
"B-But what about y-you?"
"Oh it's fine, I spent like a month trapped in a meat locker so now I'm immune to temperatures down to 25 below."
"O-Okay…" so Bridgette somewhat reluctantly accepted and zipped on the jacket, but still freezing she unconsciously leaned into his chest.
Adam held her closer to him, though nobody could tell whether he was doing this unconsciously or not.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Bridgette let out a sigh "Wow, his body is so toned and muscular, his skin is so warm and… No come on Bridgette, focus on the game!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cody grinned "Looks like Adam and Bridgette are getting pretty close right now . DJ is so going down."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Chris watched them trying to huddle together and grinned "It's a little chilly without mittens huh?"
"Cocoa?" Chef held out a cup of hot chocolate to him.
"Don't mind if I do." Chris accepted it and chugged it down "Okay that's much better."
"Are you gonna finish that?" asked Owen.
"Uh-"
"Of course he is, it's Chris' favorite drink." Sierra answered for him.
"Wrong, my-"
"Second only to tomato juice."
"That's not on the fan sites, how do you-"
"I went to your high school and interviewed all of your old teachers for the unauthorized biography I'm writing, they said-"
"Okay okay, let's move on already!" Chris turned back to the contestants "Crossing the icy river of Canada's frozen tundra used to be easy back when the river was frozen solid, but thanks to global warming and a certain Owen the Earth is finally becoming a lot more interesting and when I say interesting I actually mean deadly. Today's challenge is something I like to call Total Drama the Icicle. Teams must make their way across this watery chasm by jumping from one ice flow to the next, the first team that makes it across must make their way to the dog sleds on the far shore and become the dog pulling their sled all the way to the finish line as you grab the rest of your teammates along the way at marked meeting points. The sleds are first come first serve so move fast if you wanna win. You don't have to worry if you fall into the water then we're legally required to save you guys, we've even got a couple of divers downstream ready to pull you out."
Tyler quickly turned to the others on his team "Are you guys ready for some mad ice flow jumping? This guy is gonna kick it into high gear! Whoo!"
Adam gathered Cody, DJ, Trent, Gwen, Zeke and Bridgette together in a circle "Okay listen up guys, whoever doesn't land near the sleds just head straight for the finish line so that we don't lose time stopping at every meeting point. And just to be safe stick with each other in teams of 2 just to be on the safe side, that way it'll be less likely for anyone to get lost if they go off on their own. Everybody cool with that game plan?"
"I think we should go for it." DJ told them, with everyone else, Cody and Bridgette in particular, nodding in agreement.
"Alright, thanks big guy." Adam turned to Chris "Hey McLean, is this a reward challenge or what?"
Chris smirked "Did I say this is a reward?"
"Well we already had an elimination last episode and it's not like there's enough players here for you to throw someone out of a plane in every episode."
"Yeah that's true but based on what we saw after reviewing the tapes of Total Drama Action we figured out that teams try a hell of a lot harder during elimination challenges so this year there's no set routine, every challenge could end in us having an elimination." he was met with a number of complaints "Now that's what I like to see! On your mark… get set… Move it!" he had Chef blow on a horn that sounded like the mating call for a moose, and everyone started running.
"You heard the man, move it!" Tyler burst forward and landed on an ice flow, but slipped and fell into the freezing water "Oh m-m-man…"
"Hi Noah!" Lindsay cheerfully rushed past him.
"I'm T-T-T-Tyler…"
"No I'm Lindsay!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tyler let out a groan of frustration "I don't get it, I'm the least talked about contestant on all of the Total Drama fanblogs. I mean even Zeke gets more play and he was the first one to get voted off back in season 1. And what's even worse is that on the flight here, Lindsay called me Noah. I mean, Noah?! I have to make her see me!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Zeke, along with Trent, watched as Izzy made her way across the frozen river "Now that's a woman."
"No biggie man, if she can do it then so can we! Come on!" Trent dragged Zeke onto an ice flow, only for them to slip and faceplant down onto it.
"If they can do it then so can we, come on!" Noah leapt onto another ice flow, but landed face first on it.
"Noah hang on buddy, I'm coming!" Owen leapt onto the ice flow, resulting in him accidentally catapulting Noah into a pile of snow back on dry land.
"Ow…"
"So… I'll just go on ahead okay?" he received a grunt "Okay cool." and so Owen went on his way.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Adam pondered this for a moment and smirked "Using the big guy to catapult someone across the river huh? That gives me an idea."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Adam pulled DJ aside before he could attempt to cross "I've got an idea but I'm gonna need your help okay?"
"What's the plan?" asked DJ.
"I need you to let me onto your shoulders." he got onto DJ's shoulders "Now I'm gonna jump as high as I can and try to land on that ice flow while you make sure Trent and Zeke stay on the side of that ice flow closest to the land."
"You really think that's gonna work?"
"Well it couldn't hurt to try, now wish me luck." he looked over at Trent and Zeke, still down on the ice flow "Sorry about this guys, but you've gotta take one for the team!" he leapt high into the air and landed on the far side of that ice flow which such momentum and force that he ended up catapulting Trent and Zeke far beyond the other side of the river, landing on the mountain where the finish line would be located with a loud thud "Oops, sorry guys!"
Chris checked it out with his telescope "Wow, it looks like the two of them already landed at the finish line. That is wicked!"
"So we just have to get the rest me, Bridgette, DJ and Gwen across the finish line and then we win?"
"That's how it works."
"Good to know."
"Alright, this is way too easy!" Leshawna casually hopped her way across towards the other side without much issue.
Gwen landed on an ice flow in the middle of the frozen river "Hey what do you know, so far so good-" she was cut off when the ice flow began to break apart beneath her "Oh crap, oh crap, oh crap!"
"Hang on Gwen, I've gotcha!" Cody rushed back from where he was to help her, only to collide with Owen and earn the ire of a polar bear from within the ice water, and it tipped the ice flow in an attempt to bring them into the water with it.
Lucky for them, or unlucky depending on the perspective, Sierra was there to save the day and hit it on the head with a chunk of ice "Bad polar bear, I'm not about to post an obituary on my blog about my Codykins! Got it?!" the only answer she received was the polar bear sliding back into the water, sending Owen and Cody into the icy waters regardless "Oh no, I'm coming my dear Codykins!" she picked up a fish from the water and used in an attempt to paddle over to him.
"Okay, here goes!" Bridgette leapt onto an ice flow in the middle of the river, only to nearly slide off it into the water.
"I've got you." Adam grabbed her by the arm and pulled her back "You alright?"
"Yeah, thanks."
"No problem, before she died my mother raised me as one of the few guys in the world who still believes that chivalry isn't dead. Plus I get to do this." he gently took her hands in his "It's too dangerous for anyone to go off on their own across a lake like this and frankly it goes against everything I stand for, so if you would be so kind to allow it milady I would be more than honored and privileged to escort you to victory along with the rest of your team."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Bridgette found herself awe struck "Wow, just… wow. When Geoff was around I was never tempted by any other guys. Then again that probably had something to do with the fact that we were always making out, but now that it's just me both inside and outside of the competition… I mean he's just… No Bridgette, focus!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Owen was shivering in the freeing water until she suddenly let out a sigh "Oh yeah, that's better."
Cody noticed something off "Wait a second, why do I feel warmer- Oh come on man, you peed didn't you?!" he started swimming away from it "Oh man it's following me!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Adam leapt onto a new ice flow "Come milady, I have faith in you."
"I can't make it, it's too far!" Bridgette protested.
"Sometimes all you need is 20 seconds of courage to change everything."
"Are you sure?"
"Have I ever failed you before now?"
"Well if you're sure… I'll do it!" Bridgette leapt forward, only to trip and land on him, accidentally kissing him in the process, before she freed herself from it "Uh… thank you for catching me."
"Whatever you wish milady."
"That was an accident by the way, the kiss I mean."
"I figured as much, but you got across didn't you? And besides, a wise man once said that one man's accident is another man's treasure."
Her cheeks were turning deep red now "I… let's go."
"Oh yeah right, I'd rather not have Cody pull the dog sled." he suddenly took her into his arms bridal style "This will save time." and he continued leaping across.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I got flustered, that's all that happened!" Bridgette defended herself "Let me make this clear, I am NOT falling for him okay? Mark my words, I am not going to repeat the disaster that was my performance last season."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Cody was still freezing in the water "Can't… arms… f-f-freezing…" and he finally went under.
"CODYKINS!" a freaking out Sierra picked him up out of the water "Oh dear Cody, if one of us drowns then I hope it will be me!"
"Me… too…" he had icicles hanging from his nose.
"Oh no, you need to get to shore now!"
"Wait what are you-" he got picked up and thrown to shore, only to slam into the side of the mountain and fall to the ground slowly "Ow…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Adam carried Bridgette in his arms over to where the sleds were "Alright McLean we're tied but I'm pulling on my own, you got a problem with that?"
"Hold it big shot." Chris waved him off "In the event of a tie we go in alphabetical order so you're up."
"Good to know." Adam set Bridgette down in the sled and hooked himself up to the sled using the harness.
"Hey guys." DJ suddenly showed up and sat down in the sled, crying his eyes out.
"What the hell is the matter with you?"
"Sorry man, being back in Canada makes he miss my momma. All this ice man, it's just like the inside of her freezer."
"I feel you man, being like this makes me miss my best guy friend Devin back home."
"Why best guy friend?"
"Because his real best friend is this blonde chick named Carrie, they're known each other since they were 4 and I've only known Devin since 7th grade. Oh and she's in love with him but he's dating this high maintenance chick named Shellie. The point is, whenever think about how much I miss Devin and Carrie I just strengthen my resolve to win this thing."
"Yeah, yeah I guess you're right." he wiped the tears away "I really should stop crying at a time like this."
"That's what I've been saying, I mean it's so cold out here you could literally freeze your eyes shut if you cry too much. Alright enough talk, let's move."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Chris looked and noticed Courtney and Heather arrive at the same time "Courtney you're the first Victory to arrive, grab a sled and start pulling."
"But Heather got here at the exact same time, we should both pull the sled!" Courtney protested.
"Yeah no, in the event of a tie we go alphabetically."
"What? Come on Heather, help me out here!"
Heather just smugly sat down in the sled "Well what can I do Courtney? It's not like I'm the one who made the alphabet."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tyler made his way to the third and final sled, only to find it was the last one left "Oh crap, does this mean-?"
Chris nodded "I'm afraid so."
"Great, that's just great!"
That was when Izzy showed up and saw the radioactive symbol on the box on the sled "Hey cool look, a speaker! Our sled must play music!"
"Wait a second, is that box radioactive?"
Chris shrugged "What isn't radioactive these days?"
"A lot of stuff!"
Izzy poked her head out from within the box, only now she was glowing green "I can't find the radio anywhere, I think someone stole it."
"...Don't comment Tyler, just get yourself ready and ride like the wind." Tyler strapped on the harness and took off as fast as he could.
Courtney suddenly found herself all alone at the starting line "Wait a second, how do I get this thing on?"
"Mush girl mush!" Heather started whipping Courtney with an actual whip.
"Hey, you can't just!-" she was silenced with another whip.
"I told you to mush!"
So Courtney did, albeit now she was foaming at the mouth with rage.
Chris turned to the camera "Will anyone survive the coldest challenge in the history of Total Drama? Place your bets and cross your fingers.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Now almost half frozen, Cody was slowly making his way across the icy path "H-Have to keep on m-moving…"
"CODYKINS!" Sierra popped up in front of Cody, startling him.
"How did you find me?"
"I followed your footprints, it was pretty easy really. You're a size 7 and your right foot really pronates."
"...I'm gonna go." and so he went faster.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"Come on, come on, come on!" Courtney continued pulling the speed up the slope as fast as she could.
That is, before Heather stopped her when she found Lindsay at a meeting point and whipped her to make her stop "Woah girl!"
"Yay!" Lindsay cheerfully hopped onto the sled.
"Mush girl mush!" Heather got back to whipping Courtney, sending her flying down the path again.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Pure, unyielding rage and frustration.
That was what Courtney was feeling at the moment "Whipping? With a real whip?! Okay that is so it, when the time comes she is so gonna get it where the sun doesn't shine!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tyler continued running across the Yukon and looked back at Izzy "Hey Izzy listen, if you see anybody then just call out alright?"
"I gotcha." Izzy suddenly pointed at him "There's Tyler!"
"I mean anybody other than me."
"Oh, okay."
"Guys wait up!" Noah came running up behind them and jumped onto the sled.
"Oh hey look there's Noah, hey Noah someone stole our radio!"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Lindsay looked and noticed Leshawna standing by a meeting point "Leshawna!" she pulled her onto the sled.
Courtney was relieved "Perfect, now all we need to do is pick up Sierra and we can head over to the finish line."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
By this point, Sierra was carrying a significantly more thawed out Cody on her back until she found a meeting point "Oh great, we can wait here for my team to pick us up and then we can travel to first class together."
"...I'm pretty sure that's not how it works." Cody pointed out "Anyway I should keep going to the finish line."
Sierra ignored him and began cuddling him closer against his will "Come on Codykins, give momma some sugar."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tyler continued pulling the sled until they found Owen at one of the waiting points "There he is guys!"
"Hey guys…" Owen made his way onto the sled.
"What's the matter buddy?"
"What do you think? I haven't eaten in hours. Man I wish we were in Russia right now, from what I hear they're building the world's cake."
"Oh cool, what flavor is it?"
"It's cake, does it matter?"
"I guess that's true." he started running.
"Okay Tyler, it's time for us to get moving for real." Noah told him.
"I am moving!"
"No you're not, you're miming."
"Oh crap, it's my court shoes! They're no good on ice you guys, I swear if the contest was pulling the sled across a volleyball court or something then we would've already won by this point!"
"Come mi amigos, vamonos!" Alejandro suddenly leapt into the sled, carrying Cody over his shoulder.
"Why'd you bring him with you?" asked Noah "I mean you do realize that he's on a different team right?"
"Of course I do but…"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
5 minutes ago…
"Let me go!" Cody found himself being held by Sierra against a pole at a waiting point against his will "I've gotta get a restraining order!"
"Come here Codykins, give me some sugar." Sierra leaned in to kiss him against his will.
"HELP!"
Lucky for him, Captain Jalapeno- I mean Alejandro, was there to save the day "Come mi amigo, run like your life depends on it because at this point it might!" he continued running along and dragging Cody with him, leaving a heartbroken Sierra behind with her tongue stuck to the pole.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"And I continued dragging him until I found the rest of my team." Alejandro finished "I must make good on my alliance with Adam at least until Heather is no longer a threat. Besides, I know what it's like to be hounded by loco senoritas who potentially have rabies. Thank you again for the birthday gift Jose!" he gave the middle finger to the camera, thought it was pixelated "Is this going to be pixelated? What is this show rated anyway?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Chris made his way on a snowmobile and found Sierra still stuck to the pole "Oh dear, how ever did this happen?"
Sierra gave a response muffled by her tongue being stuck to the pole.
"This all sounds very heartfelt, too bad I can't understand a single word of it. Speaking of not being able to understand things, I bet this would be an amazing song." and cue the ding.
"Mush girl mush!" this was when Heather, Courtney, Lindsay and Leshawna came rushing towards them, with Heather still whipping Courtney.
"Hold it ladies, or should I say backup singers." he received a number of groans.
"Dammit, I thought that you forgot about the damn music challenge this time!"
"Like heck I did, that's my favorite part of this thing. Alright, get to it."
"Oh for- fine!"
So a rock guitar beat started playing, and Sierra started with a solo, though it was butchered by her tongue being stuck to the pole "The strings of my heart are a tangled mess!"
"Oooh, mess!" Heather and the girls came in with a chorus.
"It's beating so hard, it's jumping out of my chest!"
"Oooh, chest!"
"I tried to fit my main man in my soul!"
"Oooh, soul!"
"I ended up getting stuck to a pole!"
"She got stuck! She should've ducked! Worst of luck! Stuck, stuck to a pole!"
"I loved everything that he had to say!"
"Oooh, say!"
"And when I closed my eyes he got dragged away!"
"Oooh, away!"
"He's moving on and I'm still stuck in this place!"
"Oooh, place!"
"Would someone please pour warm water down my face!"
"She got stuck! She should've ducked! Worst of luck! Stuck, stuck to a pole! Stuck, stuck, stuck to a pole!"
Chris gave a small applause once the song was over "Very nicely done, now Team Victory get going."
"What about Sierra?" asked Courtney.
"Oh yeah, I've got that covered." he handed them a chainsaw "Good luck with that." and he took off on his snowmobile, leaving them to free Sierra by themselves.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Tyler struggled to pull his team across the icy bridge, his sneakers fighting against him "Come on, come on…"
"Tyler get moving already!" Owen pleaded "I need to hit a john or another river and I need to hit it fast!" unfortunately, his stomping caused the bridge to give out from underneath them, and they nearly fell off.
Lucky for them, Tyler gripped onto the ledge with all of his strength "It's alright guys, I'll pull us up!"
"How are you holding all of us?" Cody called.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
"I've got wicked strong fingers." explained Tyler "The docs can't explain it, when I had my first piano lesson I broke the piano and I got into sports after that."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Adam continued looking around as he led the group across the Yukon "Hey ladies, DJ, any sign of Cody or the others yet?"
"Nope, nothing on my end." Gwen told him.
"Bridgette you see anything?"
"Yeah…" Bridgette found herself staring dreamily at Adam.
"Bridgette. Bridgette! Bridgette!"
She snapped out of it "Sorry what?"
"Do you see Cody, Zeke or Trent anywhere?"
"Uh… no, sorry."
"Okay, DJ what about you?"
"I can't see anything." DJ told him "My tears froze my eyes shut about a half hour ago!"
"Why didn't you say anything?" asked Bridgette.
"I tried but you were too busy swooning over Adam to notice!"
"...Oops." her cheeks were burning red from this.
"Nevermind that guys, look!" Adam pointed to where the finish line could be seen not very far away "The finish line is right over there!"
"Man we really took the long way around." Gwen commented "How come we didn't just use that bridge? I mean it would've been a lot faster."
"And risk it collapsing beneath us? Yeah right, who in their right mind would be stupid enough to go over that thing?"

Tyler, the person stupid enough to go over the bridge, held himself and the sled in place while everyone else climbed back up to safety "Come on, come on…" once they were all back up he pulled the sled back up with him.
"Sorry about this you guys, and thanks again for the save." Cody ricocheted off of Owen, only to leave himself to tumble down the mountain and stop just short of the finish line.
"After him, follow him to the finish line and overtake him!" Alejandro pushed Owen forward, increasing their speed to the point where they overtook Cody on the race down the hill, dragging Tyler behind them, and they managed to cross the finish line first, only a few mere seconds before Cody did "At last, victory has reached our grasp!"
Team Victory crossed the finish line not long after, and Heather was far from satisfied with the results "Last place?! I can't believe I did all that work for nothing!"
"You did all that work?!" Courtney rounded on her "I'm the one who did all the work, you just whipped me and made me do all the work for you like the lazy evil little cow that you are!" she received a number of voices of approval.
Cody poked his head up "Should we try and stop them?"
Chris shared a glance with the members of Team Mystery and shrugged "Nah."
"So what then, is this an elimination challenge or not?" asked Adam.
"Nope, I figured I would make this challenge neither so that I could make the next challenge a double, meaning that next time the losers will face elimination but the winners will also receive a reward as a result. Anyway, Team Mystery came in second place for once and Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Crazy Hot takes first and they'll be travelling to our next destination in first class."
Owen found himself being left hanging by Alejandro when he just walked away "Al, Al, Al, hey Al! Come on buddy don't leave me hanging! Al! Al! Al! Al! Al! Al! Al!"
Adam looked around and noticed something "Hey what happened to Trent and Zeke? DJ and I hurled them up here hours ago."
"Over there." Chris pointed to where they were stuck in a gigantic pile of snow "They tumbled down from the top of the mountain inside a gigantic snowball and crashing into like a dozen interns. It was awesome."
"Yeah I bet it was." he grabbed DJ by the arm "Hold still, this might hurt." he ripped off his shirt and began using it to chip away at the ice that kept DJ's eyes frozen shut.
Bridgette was actually rather pleased by what she saw 'Woah…' and she quickly became lost in her fantasies as she gazed upon his muscular chest.
"Bridgette you know you're staring." Cody pointed out with a smug grin.
"What- Oh sorry." she blushed slightly "It's just that… well… you know… Adam…"
"Has the physique of a god amongst Canadian teenagers but you're still worried about him freezing to death out here?" he received only a dripping nosebleed as a response "Don't worry about it, he broke up with this red head awhile back and she locked him in a meat locker for like a week."
"I thought he was in there for a month."
"Oh he was, we found him after a week but he stayed in there for another month and a half or so."

Alejandro shrugged "Adam may be useful for the time being but that doesn't change the fact that he's expendable, just like the rest of them. Granted some of them like Heather or Courtney may prove to be more challenging than the rest of them, but one by one they'll all go down and in order to further establish my dominance I'll make sure to take Adam to the finals so that I can eat him alive!"

"Well I totally rocked it today!" Tyler pumped a fist in triumph "I saved the lives of Cody and everyone on my team with just my bare fingers, I doubt there's a single person out there who knows who Tyler is now! Mission accomplished!"
Then Lindsay suddenly poked her head in "Oh sorry Noah, my bad!" and she left.
"Oh son of a-"
Chris poked his head in to sign off "Will Noah ever get Lindsay remember him?"
"It's Tyler!"
"Will the alliance between Team Mystery and Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot hold out for more than a single episode? Find out next time on Total! Drama! World Tour!"
A/N:
I made this a reward challenge so that the next challenge in New York could be an elimination, especially because of who I plan to have go home next. And for the record, she has to go for the sake of the plot.
I figured that since most of Team Victory gets eliminated early on anyway, it would make more sense for the other teams to have an alliance and gang up on them in order to take out one of the strongest players: Heather.
