Chris stood on the Dock of Shame as Today's episode began. "Last time on Total Drama Island, 26 campers arrived and learned that they'll be spending the next 8 weeks at a crusty old summer camp." There were various cuts of the campers shown like when the teams assembled, the roach incident, and there first gathering in the main lodge. "The campers were faced with their first challenge, jumping off a cliff into shark infested waters and while most campers took the plunge, a few were forced to wear the dreaded chicken hat. At the camp fire ceremony, it all came down to two campers. Dominic actually jumped off the cliff but couldn't commit and ended up injuring himself which took him out of the day's challenge while Ezekiel managed to tick off every female contestant at the camp with his sexist comments about women. In the end, the first camper voted off Total Drama Island was Ezekiel. Proving that homeschooling and reality TV don't really mix." The cameras cut back to Chris as he posed the question, "Who will be voted off this week in the most dramatic campfire ceremony yet? Find out tonight on Total. Drama. Island!"
(Go to the first part for the theme song)
Chris could be seen walking in the middle of camp with a megaphone in one hand and blow horn in the other. The show host promptly blew the blow horn through the megaphone, startling everyone at camp and causing Leshawna to slam her head against the top bunk. "Ow!" She cried before marching over to window and screaming, "It's 7 in the morning! Do I look like a farmer to you?!"
Soon after, everyone began waking up and commenced their morning rituals. Brushing their teeth, taking showers, getting dressed, most campers went about the morning minding their own business except for two in particular.
"Well maybe if you put away your sweaty clothes then you wouldn't have to hear from me all the time!" Heather's voice could be heard from the female cabin before Eva was seen storming out and stomping towards the male cabin. The athlete bursted inside before looking around for a certain mop of black hair. As soon as she spotted him, Eva grabbed Dominic by his arm and began dragging him out of the cabin and into the woods. "Wait, Eva! I'm not wearing a shirt!" She looked behind to see Dominic shirtless, revealing his chiseled chest and full sleeve tattoos. Eva blushed before she shouted, "It's fine! I just need to blow off some steam!"
"Hey! Hey! No sex while the show is being aired!," Chris said as he spotted the two sneaking off into the woods. Eva's blush that once just dusted across her cheeks now spread throughout her entire body as she stuttered, "W-we weren't going to-" Chris interrupted her as he said, "You campers can have your fun when the challenges are completed. We're on a tight schedule so get your butts back in the cabins and get dressed."
After about 10 minutes, the campers finally left their cabins and waited for Chris to tell them today's challenge. Eva was still fuming with anger and embarrassment at the back of crowd of campers while Dominic was trying his best to calm her down. The two had grown surprisingly close during the past week. Dominic seemed to be the only one able to keep up with her when it came to exercise and even gave her an MP3 player along with anger management lessons to help her control her anger. Apparently he used to get suspended from school every 4 weeks for getting into fights. She wouldn't admit it but Dominic was about the only person whose company she enjoyed. Especially with those cheesy jokes of his.
Chris smiled at all the exhausted faces within the teams as he said, "Morning! Hope you slept well! I hope you're all ready because your next challenge begins in exactly one minute." Owen eyes widened before he spoke, "Oh excuse me! I don't if that's enough time to eat breakfast." Chris could hardly contain his grin as he said, "Oh you'll get breakfast Owen. Right after you complete your 20 kilometer run around the lake!" The show host spotted Dominic trying to calm down Eva and quickly added, "That is if Eva and Dom can keep their hands off each other long enough." Eva eyes snapped open before she approached McLain with her fist raised. "Oh so you're funny now! You know what I think would be funny!" The athlete suddenly felt someone wrap their hand around her waist, restraining her from getting any closer to Chris. "Don't do it Eva, it's not worth it." When Eva saw that it was Dom holding her back, a certain fluttery feeling she'd never experienced before filled her stomach. The feeling was quickly crushed when she spotted Chris' smug face as she yelled, "Your'e enjoying this, aren't you?!" "A little," was the show host's only reply before he continued. "You have 30 seconds."
The screen transitioned to Courtney inside the outhouse. "Okay that girl Eva has got to get a handle on her temper. She's only been here for one week and she's already thrown her suitcase out of a window and broken the lock on one of the bathroom doors. Who knows what else she would have done if that Dominic guy wasn't here."
As all the campers lined up for the run, Eva and Dom got in a quick stretch before getting in their starting positions. "Looks like we'll be able to get that morning jog in after all," Dominic said with a small grin. "Okay Runners!" Chris shouted from atop his dirt bike. "Ready to eat my dust pretty boy?" Eva responded to Dom as she gave a grin of her own. "On your marks!" Chris continued as he started up his bike. "In your dreams," Dominic said as he turned toward the path. Overhearing their conversation, Timothy began singing, "Eva and Dominic sittin' in a tree~". Eva was about to snap at the blonde but was quickly interrupted by Chris. "Go!" The show host shouted and Eva suddenly found herself scrambling to catch up with everyone else.
30 minutes later the campers were fairly spread out, some sprinting ahead while others were walking to catch their breaths. Gwen stared at Dominic and Eva as they raced ahead of the pack. Since their little 'date' or whatever it was, Gwen hadn't really had time to really talk with Dom. They did get the occasional wave and 'hey' in but they just couldn't find the time to sit down and really enjoy each other's company. Now he seemed to be spending all his time with that Eva girl. She shouldn't be surprised since from the moment she met him she could tell the guy was a big flirt but she couldn't help but be annoyed with Dom and envious of the athlete. "Do you know how much longer?" Harold snapped Gwen out of her thoughts as he panted through his mouth. Annoyed, Gwen said, "Don't walk beside me." Further behind, a couple of campers struggled to keep up while one simply couldn't care less wether she was dead last or not. "Do you mind?" Heather snapped as Noah shoved passed her while she took her sweet time walking through the path. A couple campers had tried to persuade her to at least jog but were sourly disappointed.
The screen transitioned to Heather sitting at the outhouse recording an entry of her own. "I don't run and I definitely don't run in high heel wedges."
Eventually Heather came upon Owen who was on all fours and drinking from a stream. "Can't... Catch... Breath... Must... Have... condition," Owen wheezed out between slurps before finally collapsing face first into the water. "Yeah, it's called overeating. Look into it," Heather spoke as she looked down in disgust at the camper. Leshawna leaned up against a tree as she said, "and what's your excuse? You skinny...annoying..." The line of insults eventually took too much breath as Leshawna just waved her away. "Whoo, too tired for insults."
Chris suddenly sped passed the group on his bike while shouting through his megaphone, "Pick it up, people! If you're not back by dinner time, you don't eat!" "Ugh, I hate him so much..." Heather muttered before stepping all over Owen to get passed the stream.
After hours passed, most of the contestants had finished their run and were simply waiting for the others. Everyone was tired but no one looked more miserable than Kevin who seemed to have grown pale over the past week and had deep bags under his eyes. Home sickness had hit him faster and harder then he thought it would and all the tunes he could muster did nothing to cheer him up. His brother Dominic knew that it was best to leave him be at times like this as talking would only worsen his mood.
Suddenly Owen bursted in through the door with Noah on his shoulder and the remaining contestants behind him. "Clear a table, stat!" Owen shouted before throwing Noah on the wooden surface and pumping the camper's chest while others worriedly watched. Harold stumbled in while holding his chest and barely wheezing out a couple of breaths. However this didn't stop Courtney from berating the camper as she yelled, "What took you so long?! We just lost the challenge!" Seeing Harold as the last to step in through the door, the entire gopher cheered, including the supposedly unconscious Noah, all the while Harold collapsed to the ground still wheezing.
"Woah, there. Hold your horses guys!" Chris yelled over the loud the cheering. "That wasn't the challenge." Gwen jaw dropped as she asked, "What did he just say?" McLain ignored the goth as he walked over to a set of curtains and wrapped his hand around a small string. "Whose hungry?!" Chris asked as he unveiled a buffet of succulent food, ranging from an entire turkey roast topped with all manner of spices to a chocolate fountain with marshmallows and strawberries lining its edge.
The screen transitioned to Gwen in the confessional. "After a whole week of eating brown sludge, I almost cried when I saw that buffet."
Another transition showed Owen recording an entry of his own. "And then I saw it, the buffet table! There was Turkey and Nanaimo bars and baked beans in maple syrup! Can I have a minute..." Own turned from the camera and started cry tears of joy.
The final transition showed M sitting with his knees bent to his chest and his feet resting on the toilet lid. "While all of that food would have been useful at recharging my energy and quite enjoyable... it all seemed a little too convenient. Early start plus intense exercise plus heavy meal equals lights out."
The campers wasted no time tearing into the food, grabbing plates of their own and filling them to the brim with all manner of delicacies. Some didn't forget that there was a challenge to be won and ate as fast they could while others simply enjoyed the meal and laughed among their fellow campers. Dom and Eva were still inseparable as they ate, the musician was even getting bold in his jokes and flirts as he offered to feed her mouth to mouth and gave her knuckles a quick kiss whenever their hands met. The athlete, not used to this kind of attention, was powerless to deny him as she simply fumed in embarrassment and struggled to keep up with his jokes. M spent most of his time serving food and making especially hefty suggestions to the Killer Bass while 'accidentally' spilling the food of his own teammates. Timothy and Izzy had seated themselves at the end of the table, taken the carving knife, and were happily playing five finger filet while singing in unison, "I've got all my fingers~ and the knife goes chop chop chop~".
When the feast was finally complete, there were campers groaning on the floor, chairs, and tables. Their bellies bloated and their clothes stained with leftovers, the campers could already feel their eyelids getting heavier. Before anyone could fall asleep, Chris hopped onto a table and began yelling into his megaphone. "Okay campers! Time for part two of your challenge!" Owen spoke through a mouthful of fluffy bread, "I thought eating was the second part?" Gwen groaned out, "What more do you want from us?" Heather added, "Weird goth girl is right. Haven't we been through enough?" Chris said, "Lemme think about that" paused for a second, then shouted "No! It's time for the Awake-a-thon! The team with the last camper standing wins invincibility! Now get a move on! Move! Move! Move!"
As everyone trudged out of the dining hall, Trent noticed that Gwen was alone and wanted to try his chances. "Hey Gwen, wanna try to get through this thing together?" The goth was about to tell the teen off but then she noticed that Dominic was within ear shot. Deciding to see if she could give him a taste of his own medicine, Gwen put on her best fake smile and spoke louder then necessary. "Sure Trent, I'd love to! Two's better then one after all." Gwen silently cheered when she noticed that Dom's ears seemed to perk up before turning back to Trent who said, "Great, can't wait," before smacking her on the ass and walking out. Gwen's joy quickly turned to rage from Trent's actions as she was about to tear into her teammate but stopped herself when she noticed that Dominic was walking towards her. "Hey Gwen, how you been? We haven't really had the chance to really talk since the first challenge." Gwen contemplated ignoring Dom but eventually gave in as she answered, "Yeah, I guess it has been a while." The goth's eyes widened before she turned away and quickly added, "Though I hardly noticed..." Dominic grinned before turning towards the goth's teammate as he asked, "That guy's Trent, right? He seems pretty straightforward." Gwen just nervously laughed as she said, "Yeah, that's Trent. We like to mess around like that." Dominic just smiled as he said, "I bet you two won't last nearly as long as me and Eva." Gwen returned the smile as she said, "Oh trust me, anything you can do, I can do better." With that she walked away with a swing in her hips. Dominic's eyes couldn't help but follow along, swaying side to side like clockwork.
"Now that's a keeper. Think she'd be willing to having us both?" Kevin asked, suddenly appearing next to his brother and scaring Dominic out of his stupor. After getting over his surprise and registering exactly what Kevin was suggesting, Dominic playfully shoved his brother as he said, "Oh shut up..." The two shared a laugh for a bit before Dominic's face turned serious. "Homesickness is hitting you bad, man. Do you think you can make the whole 8 weeks?" Kevin just patted his brothers shoulder as he said, "I'm fine" before walking out of the dining hall. "We're going to win this and take the money home..."
