Chapter 4: Campaign Flyers
Once again it was Chris McLean's turn to give a recap to the audience.
Chris McLean's commentary:
Last time on Camp Drama Campaign Trial, a campaign always needs a good catch phrase to get the voters in. So we decided to invite the four campaigns to the studios owned by the Seven Dwarves.
Some of the campaigns came up with better catch phrases than others, like the Phantom Blot Quills ended up winning over the three judges, while Tak decided to launch a biased catch phrase about Oswald's days as a black and white cartoon character. That didn't go down with the rabbit, leaving Tak to be booted off and taken home on the Chopper of Shame. So who'll be voted off next? Find out here on Camp Drama Campaign Trial!
End of commentary.
It seemed quite silent as the night went by, the four buses had stopped for the night at local hotels but up in space, a certain Irken was stirring along with Gaz and Gir.
"Zim should be crushing them all right now!" roared Zim who was rather outraged that he didn't qualify for this season.
"But we can still make a lot of the contestants lose the competition and get voted off" said Gaz.
"How?" asked Zim.
"We can find out where Chris keeps the challenges he has in store and see which team we can destroy" continued Gaz.
"Zim likes this plan" laughed Zim.
The Irekn then steered his ship toward the main studios building where Chris had secretly kept his stash, he teleported Gaz down to where the safe was located to which she had no problems unlocking it to take the challenges that were in the safe. Gaz immediately was able to take the challenges back up to the ship as she was teleported. It was just then that Chef came in a few seconds to realize that the challenges for the season were missing.
"We've been robbed!" cried Chef as he noticed the safe empty.
"Robbed, how?" asked Chris as he came in with Wolf, Twitchy and Sagat.
"I'll get Nicky Flippers on the case" continued Wolf, "can we still do this season?"
"Yea, good thing we got copies of it" laughed Chris as he took out another large stack of papers.
As morning approached, the contestants and the four campaigns headed out ready for the next challenge, Jade who got onto the bus noticed that Nick and Reggie were doing hard labor as Chef was watching over them.
Confessions:
"That's what happens when you sneak onboard the show without permission" laughed Brad.
"That's not cool seeing poor Nick like that" sighed Jade.
"Man, Reggie must be doing some back breaking work" said Otto who also noticed his sister was out there too.
End of confessions.
The four buses continued their path heading to what seemed like an art studios owned by Princess Jasmine where Chris was waiting for the four campaigns to arrive.
"Glad you could all make it here" said Chris.
"Why the heck are we at an art studios?" asked Sissy.
"Duh, the next challenge will be making your campaign poster flyer" said Chris, "the best campaign flyer wins immunity."
"Sounds a bit easy" said Mandy, "just like the last two."
"Oh don't you worry, it'd get harder, I promise" laughed Chris.
Confessions:
"My members of my campaign better not screw up" said the Phantom Blot.
"I still feel like I should help my team, but I still feel bad that Jenny will reject me again" said Sheldon.
"That Sheldon, him being behind the Silver Shell!" roared Jenny who still wasn't happy.
"My dad better not help my team here" said Steve, "it's already bad enough the guy I'm working for doesn't have a good reputation."
End of confessions.
"Alright, listen up" said the Phantom Blot, "one of you should come up with a design for my campaign, the logo and the flyer should be one and the same, something very simple would be nice."
"We'll do it" said Jack who volunteered himself, Sheldon, and Owen.
"Oh boy, I got that catch phrase in that last challenge for ya, I won't fail you in this one" laughed Owen.
"Oh this is going to be a long season" sighed the Phantom Blot who had doubts about Owen.
Meanwhile for the Sqashbuckling Mouseketeers it was rather quite the obvious logo for Mickey Mouse on what the flyer for his campaign should be. Typically enough his trademark mouse ears for which Dexter and Otto were competing on who'd draw the better one.
"I say mine's the best" said Otto.
"Ha, Dexter has far more superior training in not just in science but also in the world of art" laughed Dexter.
"I made one too" laughed Dee Dee as she showed her mouse ears.
"That looks great, I'll take it" said Mickey who took Dee Dee's instead over the other two.
Oswald's campaign was no different from Mickey's in their choices of what his flyer/logo should be which would be similar except it was with rabbit ears. Poor Johnny tried to paint it, but all it turned out to be was Oswald's brother's ears instead.
Confessions:
"I don't know how to draw Oswald's ears like that, I'm too use to Mickey's" said Johnny.
"That Test kid doesn't seem to be doing well with Oswald" said Pete as he noticed Johnny's mishaps.
End of confessions.
Mandy ended up doing the flyer/logo for Oswald to which Oswald accepted it.
"Looks good enough for me" said Oswald.
As for the Phantom Blot Quills, the Phantom Blot himself was a bit concern that Owen wasn't going to go down that well as he had hoped. He noticed Owen along with Jack and Sheldon had purposely placed a big old blotch of black paint as the flyer/logo.
"Shouldn't it say something more than that?" asked the Phantom Blot.
"But it represents what you are" said Owen.
"Look, I want to find a way to somehow beat my arch nemesis Mickey Mouse here" continued the Phantom Blot.
Indeed the Phantom Blot's concerns were overheard by Stan Smith who just so happen to be on his break. Stan who had some art skills though not that very good felt he should help out.
"Anything wrong here?" asked Stan as he leaned over to the Phantom Blot.
"Yea, this just sounds like the original logo I typically have" continued the Phantom Blot.
"What's wrong with the original?" asked Stan.
"That's the problem, no one's going to take me serious because of my reputation" continued the Phantom Blot, "so I need a new logo to be presentable."
Stan then decided to pour more black paint to form a star as he then used a brush spread out the paint.
"Dad, what are you doing!" cried Steve as he noticed his dad was helping the Phantom Blot, "This is cheating!"
"Cheating, more like helpful creativity" laughed Stan.
"Hmm, that doesn't look that bad at all" said the Phantom Blot.
Meanwhile for the Bunny Brigade, Hoogie had made the perfect logo/flyer for Bugs Bunny. Even Bugs was impressed himself as he noticed the logo/flyer which was an obvious picture of a carrot.
"Sounds appropriate, hope that Oswald didn't steal it since he's also a rabbit" laughed Bugs.
"Don't worry, I'm sure this logo would do fine, we should let it dry" added Hoogie.
As the flyers for the campaign sat to dry along with everyone leaving to have some break time, Gaz was teleported down to where the flyers were located.
"Now let's see which flyer should I ruin?" asked Gaz to herself.
She noticed the flyer that was meant for the Bunny Brigade to which she took out a soda that she had, shook it up and then sprayed the liquid right out on the flyer itself which ended up running the paint that was supposed to dry up. She then was teleported back to Zim's ship where the two would be watching what'd happen next on the television.
"Yea, this is my favorite show!" laughed Gir.
Indeed after the contestants had their break, it was time to unveil the flyers/logos for the campaigns. Everyone was stunned with the Phantom Blot's new logo, but that couldn't beat the Sqashbuckling Mouseketeers who used the obvious classic Mickey Mouse logo.
"Bah, I feel so stupid with not going with my usual logo!" cried the Phantom Blot who whined that he didn't win.
The Rabbit's Feet ended up getting in third place, but everyone couldn't believe what kind of logo that the Bunny Brigade decided to do.
"What the heck is this?" cried Chris as it was unveiled by Princess Jasmine.
"Yea, what is it?" added Princess Jasmine.
"I don't understand, it was supposed to be a carrot!" cried Hoogie in disbelief, "You can back me up on this one Bugs, can you, you saw it yourself!"
"I sadly did, but I don't know what happened thereafter" sighed Bugs.
"Too bad, looks like your team will have to vote off someone" laughed Chris.
Indeed in the confession in the back of the bus of the Bunny Brigade, the contestants typically voted using an electronic voter machine to show the audience who they voted for. Even Donald ended up getting to vote typically for Danny for making fun of the way he talked earlier. Danny and Hoogie were the only members of the Bunny Brigade who didn't receive the last cookie with the frosting of the shape of the American flag on it.
"Danny, looks like Donald's not that happy you made fun of the way he talks" said Chris to which he threw the cookie over to Danny, "but that won't be the reason why you'll be voted off this season, hopefully. Hoogie, looks like you'll have to take the Chopper of Shame home."
"But I swear, it was a carrot that was there I tell you!" cried Hoogie as he was being forcibly escorted by Yun, Yang and Cammy to the Copper of Shame.
"That's right get onboard" laughed Skarr.
As Hoogie got onto the Chopper of Shame, it took off, meanwhile, members of the Happily Ever After agency were indeed on the case whether or not to rule out the Phantom Blot as a possible suspect. Red was indeed already trying to find a way to infiltrate his main headquarters, which she had to bring along Edmund, Wally, Ed, Zak Monday, along with Bessie, Gwen Wu and Portia.
"This better be worth my time" said Portia who didn't enjoy being there.
"Look, we need evidence whether or not the Phantom Blot could have ruin one of the team's flyers" continued Red.
"If they were only Uno soldiers, Ed wouldn't mind" laughed Ed as he noticed the number of Card soldiers on patrol.
"I think I'll be able to scout ahead, since I am a vampire and I can move faster than anyone else here" said Edmund.
"Fine" sighed Red as she allowed him to do so.
"Hey, I'm a Kids Next Door!" cried Wally.
"You're also dumber than Ed" laughed Zak Monday.
As the operation continued with Nicky Flippers and the HEA agency watching over a few blocks away in several secured vans, Chris was indeed trying to get security footage from the art studios of possibly Gaz being involved in sabotaging the Bunny Brigade's flyer.
"Hmm, yes it's going to be rather an interesting season where someone that would have been the bad guy may not be so bad after all, let's hope for more of this here on Camp Drama Campaign Trial!" laughed Chris.
