Chapter 6 is finally up. Please enjoy.

Episode 3: Blood Orange, Sweat, and Tears

"Previously, on Total Drama Royale: the remaining campers went for a quick morning challenge to Boney Island while I handled some...business arrangements. The Tigers managed to come back from their loss by fighting their way to victory using natural gas, natural tracking skills, and Eva, who finally put her anger aside to win the challenge!"

"Jo found herself in the bottom two for talking a big game, yet losing to Tyler in a thumb war! Yeah, you heard me right. Tyler. Meanwhile, Heather still held a grudge against Duncan for what happened earlier, and blackmailed Courtney, Gwen, and Geoff into voting against him. In the end, Geoff stuck with his friend and cast the deciding vote, sending Jo home! Fortunately for Geoff, but not for the ratings, Heather decided to give him a second chance,"

"Will Geoff blow his second chance, or his friendship with Duncan first? Who else will Heather recruit in her scheme? Who is the best game show host in the world? The last question I can certainly answer!"

"Steve Harvey,"

"Shut up, Chef. The drama continues, right here, and right now, on Total. Drama. Royale!"

(cue theme song)

Most of the campers were fast asleep, but Bridgette was still wide awake, sitting on her surfboard with her legs in the water as she looked out into the night sky, obviously deep in thought. Eventually, she went back onto shore and walked back to the Tigers' cabin.

As she got back into her bunk, she noticed something out of the corner of her eye. She turned her head, but all she saw was Anne Maria snoring like a bear. Bridgette rolled her eyes and went back to sleep.

Chris decided to wake the campers 45 minutes earlier than usual, so the most of the thirty four arrived at the flagpole still in their pajamas.

"Attention campers! For this challenge, we're doing something a little different! Because your last challenge was a bit underwhelming, this one is sure to be a challenge!"

Confessional:

Katie: Underwhelming? UNDERWHELMING?! I nearly got killed by beaver dinosaurs, how is that underwhelming?

"Right now, we're experiencing some delays, so you guys have some extra time to kill before the challenge starts. Now get ready, you guys look like crap!"

(9:00 am)

Scott stepped out of the communal bathroom with wet hair. "Aaaaah! That should last me for the month!" Most of the girls looked at him in disgust. "What?"

Bridgette tied her hair back into a ponytail and walked back to the cabin. She was about to walk inside when she noticed Dawn on the porch. After standing in the doorway for a few seconds, she closed the door.

"Hey Dawn. Mind if I join you?"

"Go ahead," the Aura Whisperer replied. Bridgette smiled and sat on the other chair. "Hey, Dawn? Remember how you said you'd be willing to listen if I needed anything?" Dawn put her tea down. "Absolutely,"

"For me, it's just...I kinda feel like if things are going like they went last time, I'll be gone pretty soon," Bridgette admitted. Dawn nodded. "It seems like we're both looking for redemption,"

"Yeah, we both got tricked by weasels," the surfer muttered. "Don't worry. We'll be fine. Redemption is never an easy road, but the same mistakes don't happen again," Dawn reassured her.

"Thanks. Hey, one question. What's-" Bridgette was interrupted by a horrible screech. "What the heck was that?" The two silently agreed to finish their conversation later and ran to figure out the problem. They found it when they noticed that almost all of the campers were at the door to the communal bathroom. B noticed Dawn and helped her and Bridgette get a good look at the situation.

The scene was mostly over, but the two were able to get a glimpse of what happened. Anne Maria was rinsing her poof in the sink, although it was still a bright green color. Duncan was holding a spray can, and judging by how hard he was holding it, he was pretty angry.

"I'm tellin ya, I don' kno how I-"

"Well, I sure as hell didn't put this on your dresser. Keep your hands off my stuff," Duncan grumbled as he stormed back to his cabin. The other 33 campers stood in awkward silence.

"Man, that boy is touchy," said Leshawna.

"Oh, he's not being tubby! I get like that all the time when somebody uses my mascara!" Lindsay insisted.

"I am not a woman, you bimbo!" Duncan yelled from the distance. DJ and Geoff looked at each other nervously before running after their friend.

Confessional:

Bridgette: I knew I saw something last night! Somebody snuck into the cabin and switched Anne Maria's hairspray with Duncan's mohawk dye! I wonder who…

(static)

Duncan: Well, this is just (bleep) great! Just mother (bleep) great! First I nearly get voted off, then I figure out both of my ex girlfriends want me gone, then that hobbit has to go take myself and become a (bleep)ing Oompa Loompa! What's next, Chris makes everybody give me nut-shots for today's challenge?

(static)

Anne Maria: Mista Hot-Shot ova here needs to respect da poof! I work hard keeping that thing in shape! Somebody took my hairspray, and when I find out who, they are so dead!

(static)

(10:45 am)

The campers stood in front of Chris. "Well, I guess everybody enjoyed their extra time, with the exception of the Oompa-Loompa incident."

"What you just say to me?!" Anne Maria squawked as some of the other campers snickered. Leshawna noticed the Jersey Reject's temper rising. "Easy girl, he ain't worth it," Chris ignored that last comment.

"Anywho, we finally got the engine working on the bus, so we can take you to your next challenge! I can guarantee, this one is unlike anything you've ever had here on this show! It will teamwork, tenacity, and cooperation!" Chris shuddered at the last words that he just mentioned. "Alright, we're on a tight schedule, so I need everybody in the bus pronto! Come on, chop chop!"

For everybody's sake, Owen got on first, and took up one entire seat, leaving the other thirty-three campers to find spots in the relatively small bus.

Justin motioned to one of his teammates "Hey, Katie! Want to join me?"

Confessional:

Katie: EEEEEEEE…

(static)

Justin: Now that I'm sure that Katie's on my side, my plan is ready to begin…

(static)

"It's been awhile since I've gotten a chance to talk with you, how have you been?" Justin began. Katie blushed. "I've been doing okay. You know, college and stuff,"

"That's nice." Justin chatted away, with Katie listening to his every word with keen interest. Noah was observing this keenly.

"Why are you watching those two?" Eva asked. Noah snapped out of it and noticed Eva standing over him. "I need a spot,"

"I noticed. There's room here," The Bookworm replied. Eva sat down next to him.

Zoey sat herself down, and Duncan came up. "Hey Red, I kinda needed to ask you something…"

"Go ahead," she answered. Duncan smiled and whispered something in her ear. She raised an eyebrow, causing him to whisper a bit more frantically. "Oh ok. Yeah, Geoff's right. Just try with Gwen for now," the delinquent smiled and walked over a bit. Gwen happened to sit right in front of Zoey, and Duncan plopped himself down to her. Trent looked more than a bit annoyed at this scenario, but Zoey quickly beckoned him to sit by her. The guitarist sat down, albeit a bit reluctantly.

"It's okay, Trent. Duncan just wants to tie up some loose ends." Zoey assured him. Trent looked at her. "Are you sure?"

"I just talked with him, he's not interested in that," Trent looked a bit more calm now. "Okay. Thanks,"

Confessional:

DJ: We talked to Duncan, and I figured out that he was bummed that both his ex-girlfriends voted for him. Geoff gave him some advice, Duncan gave him some ad...well, he agreed to try talking to Gwen, and we'll see what happens from there.

(static)

Geoff: I really want to tell Duncan that Heather's up to no good, but it's too risky, bro. I gotta try and be discrete. But come on, how could he think Courtney hates him?

(static)

Leshawna found herself next to Brick, who seemed a bit bummed out.

"What's wrong, honey? You're lookin like Christmas was cancelled."

"I'm Jewish," Brick responded.

"You know what I mean. What's botherin you? I can help," she offered. "Don't worry Harold," she called, causing the dweeb to sigh in relief.

Brick smiled weakly. "Well, I guess, I guess I'm just bummed out that we lost...yesterday,"

"You hesitated,"

"Alright, alright. I miss Jo. Um, are you okay,"

"I'm fine," Leshawna replied, although her face was sweating. She mumbled under her breath "Must...not...judge…"

(11:45 am)

The bus finally stopped at the door of a nice-looking restaurant that said "Elliot Grillhouse" on the front. All of the campers got out, where Chris was waiting. Unlike his normal appearance, he had combed his hair back, and was wearing a casual suit. Chef stepped out, and the campers noticed that instead of his apron, he was wearing a professional chef uniform.

"Alright contestants. Welcome to the third challenge of this season. Now, like I said earlier, none of you have ever had a challenge like this! Before we begin, I'd like to introduce to you guys the man who will be watching over you this challenge! Ladies and gentlemen….Logan Gatsby!"

Some of the contestants had no idea what the heck he was talking about. Some of them were murmuring excitingly. DJ and Owen's eyes lit up like a Christmas tree. "No way," DJ mumbled. "The Logan Gatsby?"

"In the flesh," replied a voice with a heavy accent, as a man of about forty-five walked up to the right of Chris.

Confessional:

Owen: YES! YES! THIS IS AWESOME!

(static)

DJ: NO WAY, MAN! YES! HOLY (LONG BLEEP)! YES! YES, MON! LOGAN (bleep) GATSBY!

(static)

Duncan looked at DJ's face. "Wow, you're pretty hyped up,"

"Why wouldn't I be? This guy is my culinary idol!"

"I hate to buzz the moment, but we're on a schedule here! So, this is Logan Gatsby, here all the way from...where are you from...Australia?"

Gatsby looked offended. "New Zealand,"

"Yeah, whatever. Anyways, cooking shows are gaining popularity worldwide, so we decided to do a challenge like this. Since you guys are all at least eighteen, and therefore legal adults, we felt that this season, we're gonna make you guys work for the prize. Ha-ha!"

Chef started talking. "Logan Gatsby is a world renowned chef. He has written several cookbooks, and has a total of seventeen restaurants worldwide, located in New Zealand, London, New York, Las Vegas, and of course, here in Toronto. For your challenge, you little cupcakes will not be making cupcakes."

"You will be working in my restaurant this evening," Gatsby concluded. An air of panic entered the room.

"He said working, not cooking. However, since this is a cooking challenge, we have one set up that will determine immunity for some of you. Let me make this clear: in this first challenge, you will be cooking for individual immunity."

Some of the campers gasped.

"Wow. Some of us will be saved, some will not. How original," Noah remarked.

"Shut up, you little rat," Chris countered.

"Hey mates, would you like to hear the story of the first time Chris came here?" Logan Gatsby said. Chris immediately turned white. "Oh wow, looks like we're out of time!"

"This was back about 8 years ago. He came here to have a fling with a blonde named Mildred. Mildred O'Halloran, wasn't it?"

"Shut up," Chris hissed. Chris smirked. "Keep talking, I'm listening.

Bridgette's eyes widened "Wait. Mildred O'Halloran? As in, Blaineley?"

"You were dating Blaineley?!" The thirty-four campers started to chuckle. Chris glared at Gatsby. "How could you?"

"You called me Australian. Besides, I did ban you from here when you came for the seventh time. But who wants to hear about the first?"

Chris panicked. "Well, that's all the time we have for right now, but we'll return soon, to Total. Drama. Royale! DO NOT TELL THEM THAT STORY, LOGA-CHEF PUT AWAY THE POPCORN! Yeah, if this gets on the air, somebody's getting fired!"

Hey guys. Chapter 6 is out at last. I'm a huge fan of competitive cooking shows, so I just couldn't resist. If you didn't get it, Logan Gatsby is a spoof of Gordon Ramsay. This one is gonna be a bit shorter, because I've been pretty busy lately and I need to keep things quick. Tell me what you think, and leave some suggestions in the reviews. I can promise you that Chapter 7 will have some SERIOUS drama.
