"Welcome back!" Sammy said. "We're coming off a variation of a speed week, and the Big House Swap!"
"Last time," Amy said, "Jessica had Emma and Kitty marked for ejection after a failed attempt to backdoor Eva, and in a 9-1 vote, Emma was sent out. Then, it was the Big House Swap, as Taylor entered the mansion, and Liam won immunity. In a 10-3 vote, Brady was voted out of the mansion, with 3 other votes going to Eva."
"Soon, it will be time for the MM battle," Vladimir said, "and we will crown a new Mansion Master. Jessica's out of it, but Taylor could come in and become MM!"
"The question is, will Mark or Eva keep the power in their corner? All the MM battles so far have been won my Mark, Eva, or Jessica."
"Plus," Sammy said, "Jose says he has a plan, but what is this plan? All this, and more, right now, on Big House!" The theme song played.
"So, I have a plan to turn Mark against Jessica once again," Jose said in the confessional. "Jessica's useless, and could feed Mark and Eva facts from our alliance."
In the tropical bedroom, with Mark and Eva…
Jose knocked on the door, and Mark let him in.
"Hey, Jose," Mark said. "What up?"
"Listen, we need to talk about Jessica," Jose replied.
"We're allied now, because of your moves," Eva replied.
"I wouldn't go saying that just yet. There were 3 votes for you, Eva, remember?"
"Hm, yeah…"
"Brady and DJ were in an alliance, and it makes sense that they voted for Eva. That begs the question: where did that 3rd vote come from? And I promise you: I voted for Brady."
"Are you saying…?"
"Jessica," Mark said, angrily.
"Jessica's been in an alliance with me," Jose said, "and a seperate alliance with DJ and Brady, ever since you ditched her after she tried to backdoor Eva. She's just trying to get your vote back, and lure you in so she can split up you and Eva."
"That bitch..."
"I know. But, I still want to play her for a vote. It's important, however, that DJ does not win MM at his next battle."
"She is not getting away with that shit!" Jessica knocked on the door. "Who is it?"
"It's Jessica," Jessica replied.
"YOU can go and fuck right off! We know what you did!"
"I thought we could trust you," Eva said. "I guess not."
"YOU ARE GOING DOWN, YOU BITCH!" Mark yelled.
"Chill, halfback!"
Jessica walked off, confused.
"What is Mark talking about?!" Jessica said in the confessional. "What did I do?!"
"That Jessica… thinkings she's so much better than me," Mark said in the confessional. "Well, I got news for you, lady: me and Eva are not going down that easy. You are a traitor. But I can thank you for giving me a conflict to work off of; if you weren't here, I'd have no allies. I guess I could have played them against Brady and Lindsay, but now that they're gone, I'd have to find a new enemy to gather allies against, since setting people up doesn't work now, since everyone's taken. Except Junior and Taylor."
In the red bedroom, with Dwayne, Junior, Kelly, and Taylor…
Mark knocked on the door, and Dwayne let him in. Mark looked angry.
"Something wrong, Mark?" Kelly asked.
"Well, Jessica just flipped sides on me AGAIN!" Mark replied. "She voted for Eva! What, did she think the vote numbers would not be read? Or does she just hate Eva THAT much?"
"Wow," Taylor said.
"And don't think I'm going to trust that bitch again. DO NOT TRUST JESSICA. She is pure evil, and I will be trying to get rid of her. Anyway, Dwayne, Kelly, you're going up as pawns. I'm going to pull a backdoor, alright?"
"Why not put up some Quad Alliance members?" Junior questioned.
"Quad Alliance?" Taylor asked.
"An alliance between Kitty, Liam, and Noah," Mark replied. "Emma was part of it, before she got ejected. They're aligned with us. Junior can tell you more. There's some stuff I don't want Dwayne or Kelly knowing, because I don't think they can keep a secret."
"I can keep a secret!" Dwayne said.
"Yeah," Junior said, "tell that to the ENTIRE BLACKSTONE MIDDLE SCHOOL!"
"What did he do?" Mark asked.
"You don't wanna know. Especially with Jessica having a knife fresh in your back."
"Good point. Anyway, Jose's playing Jessica, so he's going to throw the MM battle. If we don't do this, we're counting on you guys at least beating DJ. Jessica's out of this one. If me, Eva, or someone-"
"Wait, I thought you and Eva broke up!" Dwayne said.
"It was faked, so I could play in the Removal Battle. We were playing Jessica. Anyway, if me, Eva, or someone in the Quad Alliance wins, Dwayne and Kelly are going up as pawns. If one of you wins, we'll find someone else to go up as pawns, probably Junior and Taylor. If Jose is forced to win to stop DJ from winning, we'll figure something out, and if DJ wins, we have no idea whatsoever what will happen."
In the blue bedroom, with Kitty, Liam, and Emma…
Eva knocked on the door, and Liam let her in.
"Hey, guys," Eva said.
"What's up, Eva?"
"I got good news and bad news. Good news: me and Mark got back together!"
"Awesome!" Liam said.
"You two are so cute together!" Kitty said. "Worrying in game terms, yes, but cute nonetheless!"
"You and Mark are not far apart in that regard," Noah commented. "Anyway, what's the bad news?"
"Jessica's turned on us. We want to backdoor Jessica this week."
"Say what?" Kitty asked.
"We had an alliance with Jessica after me and Mark got back together, her agreeing not to interfere with me and Mark, in exchange for us rebuilding our bridge with her, and bring her to the end. But, it turns out Jessica voted for me!"
"Woah…" Liam said.
"We warned her to stay away, but no. Anyway, we have an alliance with Jose, so that's nice."
"Noah, please come to the confessional," Vladimir said over the PA.
"He keeps getting called there!" Kitty noted.
"Yeah, every week, 'Noah, please come to the confessional!'" Liam noted. "What's going on?"
"Don't worry your pretty little head about it," Noah said, as he walked off.
In the confessional…
Noah walked in. "Alright, Canada, let's see what you've got for me this week," Noah said. Noah picked up the letter. "Congratulations, Noah, you have succeeded in your first 2 tasks. Let's try to get you up to $30,000. Your next task is to create a game, and get another Mansion Dweller to play it. You can use any materials around the mansion to create your game. If you can at least start play by the end of the week, you will win $10,000. This oughta be fun. Maybe, by creating a game, I can also figure out where people stand, based on how they play the game. Why didn't I think of doing this in Total Drama? I've got some ideas."
Later…
"Hey, everyone," Jessica called, "it's time for the MM battle!"
The Mansion Dwellers walked outside, with 12 tables, each having 5 stands and 6 balls, and a stick.
"Welcome to the MM battle!" Jessica said. "As outgoing MM, I won't be competing. In this battle, you'll have to stack balls and stands. Use the stick to pick up the balls and stands, stacking them. If the tower falls, you can start again. The first person to finish their tower and buzz in will become the new Mansion Master! Who's ready to play Domenick's Fall?" The Mansion Dwellers cheered.
A/N: WARNING: SURVIVOR: GHOST ISLAND FINALE SPOILERS AHEAD. Congratulations, Wendell! In the most epic Final Tribal Council ever, Wendell just won Survivor: Ghost Island in a 0-5-5 vote over Laurel and Domenick (Laurel got 0 votes from the jury, and had to cast the deciding vote)! Yeah, I'm a reality TV fan. I'm also hyped for when Big Brother 20 starts on June 27. No, I am not sponsored, I just love reality TV. Anyway, I was cheering for Domenick, but Wendell deserved it just as much as Domenick did, so I'm happy the FTC was that close. Did any of you see it? Anyway, this week's MM battle was the final immunity challenge from Survivor: Ghost Island, which Domenick won, so that's why it's called Domenick's Fall.
The Mansion Dwellers lined up. "Everyone ready?" Jessica asked. Everyone nodded. "Go!" Everyone began rushing, but Jose was going slower.
"I need to win," DJ said in the confessional, "because I feel like I'm the target this time." DJ was the first to put his first ball up.
"DJ gets his first ball!" Jessica announced.
DJ was quickly followed by Mark, then Kitty, then Taylor. Taylor picked up the pace, quickly getting her second stand, but being careful with it.
"You can just throw the balls on there," Taylor said in the confessional. "It's the stands you have to be careful of."
Junior was quick to follow Taylor. Quickly, everyone had their first stand, but first, Taylor was getting her second ball and stand ready. Taylor kept a good lead, being challenged only by Mark and DJ. Dwayne's tower fell. Eventually, Taylor grabbed her 6th ball, as Mark was letting go of his 5th stand. Taylor ran back, put the ball on the final stand, and sprinted for the buzzer, as the tower leaned. She was able to slam the buzzer just before her tower collapsed.
"Everyone keep going!" Jessica said. "The producers are looking at the replay." DJ was quickly able to put his ball up, as was Mark, and they charged for their buzzers. They both struck it at almost the same time. "Alright, it's over!" Jessica yelled. Everyone stopped. "Well, the computers have determined that Mark…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
...did NOT ring in before DJ. But, there is still no decision on Taylor. The new MM will either be Taylor or DJ."
"This is intense…" Eva said.
"I need Taylor to win this," Mark said in the confessional, "so I can go ahead with my plan of backdooring Jessica."
"If I win this," DJ said in the confessional, "I honestly have no idea who I'll mark."
"The results are in," Jessica said. "The new MM is…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…" Taylor had her fingers crossed and was biting her lip, and DJ looked a little worried.
"...
…
…
...
…
…
…
…
…
…
...Taylor! Congratulations, Taylor, you are the new Mansion Master!"
"Aw yeah!" Taylor said, high fiving everyone except Jessica, who she faked with a dab.
"OOOOOH!" Mark yelled, double high fiving Taylor as she duped Jessica. Taylor hugged Junior, and they jumped up and down a few times. Mark and Eva smirked at Jessica, nodding their heads.
"So, Mark's REALLY pissed off at me for some reason," Jessica said in the confessional, "and it seems like he's got Taylor on his side. I might be screwed this week."
"Jessica is going to pay for backstabbing Mark!" Taylor said in the confessional. "Yeah, it'll be hard putting my mom on the block, because she isn't an asshole, but it'll be worth it to see Jessica walk out that door."
"Taylor's MM," Kelly said in the confessional. "What really sucks about this is that I have to go up as a pawn at the hands of my own daughter. Well, I guess it's better than going up as a TARGET at the hands of my own son! I'm looking at you, Bryan and Jessica! I guess I'll pick Mark or Eva for the removal battle."
In the MM bedroom…
"I assume you still want to execute the same plan?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah," Mark said. "I'm gonna go talk to the Quad Alliance. Remember: Dwayne and Kelly go up as pawns, and Jessica gets backdoored."
"All the parents in the house seem to be getting marked," Junior noted. "Dad, Kelly, and soon, Jessica!"
"Of course, me and Kelly are just pawns," Dwayne said. "Right?"
"Don't worry!" Mark said. "I cannot think of one person who wants you out of this house, besides Jessica if she ends up marked next to you."
"Well, I guess it's good that I haven't pissed anyone off."
"Yeah, but you're a floater. Don't expect my jury vote, unless you make a big move."
"Why wouldn't you vote for dad?" Junior questioned. "He's not perfect, but he's pretty nice."
"My jury vote won't be for the nice guy, it'll be for the better strategist. If Dwayne pulls out some big move, he'll get my jury vote. Of course, I don't intend to get on the jury. I intend to be sitting in those seats everyone wants to avoid when everyone wants to sit in them; finale night. And I intend to sit next to Eva."
"You realize that once Jessica's gone, you're the target, right?" Kelly noted.
"Eh, I've gotten myself out of a hole more than once. If I can survive being the target, like, 6 times on 60 Club, I'm pretty sure I can survive being the target here."
"So, it occurs to me," Taylor said in the confessional, "maybe I should take out Mark or Eva. I mean, they are serious physical players."
"Anyway, Taylor, before you get any thoughts," Mark said, "remember that Jessica was MM TWICE, and I only won a popularity contest, thanks to my allies! And, setting you up is still on the table."
"Just to make sure Taylor doesn't do anything," Mark said in the confessional, "I'm not getting her set up until after the Removal Ceremony. I'm sure you understand, girl."
"Will all the Mansion Dwellers please come to the living room?" Sammy called over the PA.
In the living room…
"Hello, Mansion Dwellers," Sammy said.
"Hi, Sammy!" the Mansion Dwellers replied.
"Well, I'm sure this week has been getting a little turbulent. We've seen what this game can do, and how people change in the mansion. So, I figure, why not give you a break? And then, I decided against it, because SOMEONE hid a bunch of fake idols in 60 Club, costing me a billion dollars!"
"You're just looking for an excuse to unleash this twist!" Mark argued.
"Yes, yes I am. Anyway, this week… is double ejection!" Everyone gasped. "Taylor, as MM, you must mark THREE Mansion Dwellers for ejection. Then, you will pick 2 other Mansion Dwellers to compete in the Removal Battle. Whoever ends up marked will face the vote, where the 2 marked Mansion Dwellers with the most votes to eject will be ejected. Also, you will not be competing for a regular Mark Remover. You'll be competing for a DIAMOND Mark Remover! The winner of the Diamond Mark Remover can remove one of Taylor's marks, AND name the person to have the mark transferred to!" Everyone gasped. "And, to give Taylor no time to think, she has to go up to the MM bedroom, and mark 3 Mansion Dwellers RIGHT NOW." Everyone gasped again.
"Well, this throws out the backdoor!" Taylor said.
"Backdoor?" Jessica questioned.
"We WERE going to backdoor you," Mark said, "but now it's double ejection, so that's not an option. Anyway, Taylor, DJ's allied to Jessica. The third person is up to you."
"Oh, one more thing," Sammy said. "Eva, please come to the confessional. We have something for you. The rest of you, head into the dining room for the marking ceremony." Eva kissed Mark on the cheek, as she walked to the confessional, Taylor headed upstairs, and everyone else went to the dining room.
In the dining room…
"This is the marking ceremony," Taylor said. "Normally, as Mansion Master, it is my responsibility to mark 2 Mansion Dwellers for ejection. In this case, however, I have to mark 3 Mansion Dwellers for ejection. The first Mansion Dweller I have marked is…
…
…
…
…
…
…" Taylor held up DJ's photo, which was marked with a circle. "The second Mansion Dweller I have marked is…
…
…
…
…" Taylor held up Jessica's photo, which was crossed out. "The third Mansion Dweller I have marked is…
…
…
...
...
…
…
…
…
…" Taylor held up Jose's photo, which had a zig-zag pattern through it. "I have marked you, DJ, you, Jessica, and you, Jose, for ejection." She circled their pictures on the wall. "DJ, you are an ally of Jessica, who is my target, so you're going up, so you can't avenge her WHEN she gets ejected. Jose, you are a wildcard, and I don't know where you're at, ane being the brother of Alejandro doesn't help. Jessica, you promised not to interfere with Mark and Eva, and it's come to our attention that you voted for Eva at the last ejection. It's one thing to break a promise, but it's another to break a promise to your own child. We were going to backdoor you, but it was double ejection. That concludes this marking ceremony."
"So that's why Mark's mad at me!" Jessica said in the confessional. "He thinks I voted for Eva! Would have been good to know before the marking ceremony."
"Well, I can't say this is a total surprise," Jose said in the confessional. "But, this works right with my plan. I'm going to get the Quad Alliance to get rid of Eva, by winning the Mark Remover, getting myself unmarked, and marking Eva in my place, allowing me to silently assassinate her."
"I guess it's not a massive surprise that I'm getting marked," DJ said in the confessional. "With what Jessica did, I guess I'd have to go up next to her. It's still scary, though, considering that it's double ejection, so hopefully, I can win the Mark Remover, and unmark myself. The question is, who takes my place?"
Jessica pulled Mark aside. "Can I talk to you for a second?" Jessica asked.
"No, Jess. You fucked up, and I'm not hearing it."
"But I-"
"Oh, lemme guess, you 'didn't vote for Eva,' huh?"
"I'm telling you, I didn-"
"SHUT IT! Jose told me himself. You're the only one that would do it, and Jose's looking out for me, that I know. I'll admit, it's not as low as Bryan went, but still."
"Why won't you give me a chance?"
"You know what? I DID. I GAVE YOU A GREAT CHANCE TO PROVE YOU WERE LEGIT. BUT YOU FUCKED IT UP, AND VOTED FOR EVA. NEWSFLASH: THEY READ THE VOTE NUMBERS! YOU THOUGHT I WOULDN'T FIND OUT? WELL,YOU CLEARLY HAVE NO CLUE WHO YOU'RE FUCKING WITH! FUCK YOU, YOU LITTLE BITCH!"
"I AM YOUR MOTHER! YOU UNGRATEFUL LITTLE PILL! I RAISE YOU FOR 18 YEARS OF YOUR LIFE, AND THIS IS HOW YOU REPAY ME?! YOU APOLOGIZE RIGHT NOW!" Mark's eye twitched, he picked up a plate, and smacked Jessica across the face!
"YOU LITTLE FUCKER!" At this point, Eva was trying to hold Mark back, as Jose tried to hold Jessica back. "YOU TRY TO DO THE ONE THING I TELL YOU NOT TO DO, AND YOU WANT AN APOLOGY FROM ME?!"
"Opposite sides of the mansion!" Vladimir yelled over the PA, not liking where it was going.
"ENJOY BEING EJECTED, JESS!" Mark screamed, before he and Eva walked off.
"Woah, that was intense," Liam said.
"It's working!" Jose said in the confessional. "The classic Eva on a stick trick! Hopefully, Mark won't be too bitter, because if he's not, he'll obviously vote for me at the finale for being the better game player."
"OK, she backstabs me TWICE?!" Mark said in the confessional. "That's it! It is no longer enough for me to win; HER BLOOD MUST BE ON MY HANDS! I WILL BE THE ONE TO SEND HER HOME, GOT IT?!"
"Wow, all I do is look out for him, and he's mad about it?!" Jessica said in the confessional. "Fine! Getting rid of Eva is your punishment for being so ungrateful! And I'm getting some sort of a restraining order or something! Look what she's done to you!"
"Mark clearly won't tolerate backstabbing," Eva said in the confessional. "That's both a good thing, and his greatest downfall. Still, it seems like his parents are able to push some sort of a bezerk button on him, that makes him pissed off, to say the least. Basically, he's usually good, but when he's betrayed or otherwise angered, we've got some WWIII shit on our hands, and it's worse than when I get mad…"
"I'm torn," DJ said in the confessional. "I don't like them arguing at all, and the mother is generally the authority figure, but if she made a promise to Mark to leave Eva alone, but voted for her anyway, that's something else entirely…"
In the rec room…
Noah was looking around for supplies for his game, when he accidentally crashed into a pool table, hearing a rattling.
"What's this?" Noah said. He dropped a ball down a hole, and the ball came out… with a blocker! "Hello, blocker!" He took the blocker.
In the MM bedroom, with Dwayne, Junior, Kelly, and Taylor…
"WOW," Junior said, regarding Mark and Jessica's argument. "That was bad."
"Mom has never gotten me even thinking about doing that!" Taylor said. "What the hell did she do to deserve that reaction?"
"Going behind Mark's back like that wasn't the best idea," Kelly noted. "But I have another theory, though, even I'll admit, it's a bit of a stretch."
"What's that?" Junior asked.
"Jessica and Bryan might have been pawns! Mark could have told them to act like that, so people would be distracted with Jessica and Bryan, allowing Mark to integrate himself as a normal player, allowing him to survive more ejections, with a 'backstabbing parents' lie!"
"WHAT." Everyone's jaw dropped.
"No, that… what?" Taylor said.
"I don't want it to be true, but it makes sense! But it IS a bit of a stretch."
"Did you see his freakout?" Junior asked. "He CAN'T be acting!"
"I dunno," Dwayne said, "some of these people can act really well. And remember: Mark's a manipulator!"
"Hm, that's true."
"We don't know Mark's full capabilities," Junior said in the confessional. "For all we know, he could be the lead actor at his school's drama club! After all, he can get anyone sent home with a smile on his face. Or, he could be playing it straight, and he really is mad at them. Regardless, he's a threat, but I'm keeping him around, since he's going to get me and Taylor set up."
Noah knocked on the door, and Mark let him in
"Hey, guys!" Noah said. "I made a game! You guys wanna try it?"
"You made a game?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah. Maybe, you can relieve some stress. Mark, Eva, Kitty, and Liam are already playing with me. You 4 wanna give it a whirl?"
"Sure!" they replied.
"Alright! Come on, I've set up in the backyard."
In the backyard…
Noah, Kitty, Liam, Mark, Eva, Junior, Taylor, Kelly, and Dwayne were at the table.
"Alright," Noah said, "the rules may seem complex, but once the ball starts rolling, it's pretty easy. You 9 are emperors of your own empires, but you want to unify the whole area under your control. The map is divided into 90 territories, and each of you start with 10. There are a series of rounds, divided up into naming a successor, open warfare, and an elimination. First, you'll receive a card, where you write your own name, and the name of your successor; they'll get all your territories if you get eliminated. Keep in mind that you can name an eliminated emperor as your successor, and if you are eliminated, they will rejoin the game. Then, we go into open warfare. At the start, roll a die to see who goes first; whoever gets the highest number goes first. In the inevitable result of a tie, seeing as though there's 10 of you, I go first!" There was a bit of laughter. "But really, we'll have a roll-off between the tied emperors, which will continue for as long as necessary. Play will continue clockwise. On your turn, you can attack up to 5 times, from one of your territories to an adjacent territory. Both you and the defender will roll a pair of dice. If you get the higher number, you get the territory you're attacking, but if you get a lower number, the defender gets the territory you attack from. If you tie, nothing happens, but you use up an attack. If you lose all your territories, you are conquered, and are eliminated, and if it's not the final 4 or 3, play continues. If it's the final 4, the round immediatley ends, and the final 3 round begins, and if it's final 3, the round ends, and we go to final 2 play. Finally, there's the elimination. Each of you will write your own name and the name of the person you want to kick out of the game on a card. There's no confidentiality in your votes, by the way. Each territory you control counts as 1 vote against the person you vote for, and whoever gets the most votes is eliminated. This continues until the final 3. At the final 3, no one picks a successor. At the end of open warfare, whoever has the most territory decides who is eliminated, and who goes to the final 2. Then, the 7 eliminated emperors decide who is the winner of the match! Got it?" The emperors gave approving looks. "Alright, one last thing; there's 5 matches. The winner of each match gets 5 points, second place gets 3 points, third gets 2 points, everyone that gets eliminated by being voted out gets 1 point, everyone that gets eliminated by getting conquered gets 0 points. If an emperor is eliminated more than once, their final elimination is what counts. After 5 matches, whoever has the most points wins, and if there's a tie, those not involved in the tie pick the winner. Let's play!"
A few shots were shown of them playing the game, including Junior smiling as he took one of Dwayne's territories, Eva playfully tossing Mark into the pool after he voted her out, Taylor celebrating after winning a match, Junior showing some playful rage after being conquered by Kitty, and a few others.
"Well," Noah said in the confessional, "it gave me a bit of insight into the current alliances. Clearly, Liam and Kitty and Mark and Eva are very different couples; Liam and Kitty seemed determined to make it to the final 2 together, not attacking each other unless they needed to get through each other to get someone else, while Mark and Eva were viciously trying to eliminate each other! At least, with 2 attacks. With the other 3, they attacked other people. My strategy was to keep voting for the person with the second most amount of territories, so the person with the most wouldn't see me as a threat. Anyway, Junior won. There's clearly a line between the alliances and Mark and Eva, and we saw it in this game; a lot of people wanted Mark and Eva out in the early rounds. Regardless, that'll be another $10,000 for me!"
In the blue bedroom, with Kitty, Liam, and Noah…
"It just occurred to me," Noah said, "maybe Mark and Eva are not our biggest problems."
"Well, who's more of a problem?" Liam questioned.
"The Famliance. Taylor could be a problem in comps, and they've got 4 votes, compared to Mark and Eva's 2! In the long run, we need to get rid of them, because, well, not even Eva or Mark can win MM 2 weeks in a row. You know the rules."
"True, but it could be, like," Kitty said, "Mark, Eva, Mark, Eva, for the WHOLE GAME. That's bad news, because they'd take each other to the final 2, no doubt!"
"That's true," Noah replied. "But since Taylor's in power, we've got a better shot at overthrowing Eva right now. And Eva's tougher in endurance comps than Mark. Mark's setting up Taylor and Junior, so it's probably in our best interests to leave them alone for now. Besides, Jessica's probably going home. Still, the Famliance is something to think about."
"But it's also in our best interests to not be the one to mark Eva!" Kitty said. "We need the throw the Removal Battle, at least, until Mark or Eva's about to win. Then, we can win it. This is probably our best shot at taking out Eva!"
"Perhaps we could get Jose on our side?" Liam suggested. "He's certain to play; no telling if Taylor will have any of us to play."
"That's true," Kitty said.
In the casino bedroom…
Kitty knocked on the door, and Jose let her in.
"Hey, Jose," Kitty said. "Can I talk to you for a second?"
"Sure!" Jose said. He and Kitty walked out.
"Listen, Jose," Kitty said, "our window of opportunity just opened."
"To do what?"
"Backdoor Eva. With this Diamond Mark Remover and double ejection, we have a real shot of getting Eva marked and voting her out! The rest of the house will be focused on voting out Jessica, so we can sneak in our votes!"
"But then I get blood on my hands, and look like a backstabber!"
"If we don't take advantage of this now, we probably won't have another chance for a while. You see how tough those two are! Even if doing this would make you go down, NOT doing this would also make you go down! Would you rather go down for doing nothing, or for doing something? ESPECIALLY against Bermuda Square. Look, it's the only way either of us have any shot at winning! The only way you'll go down is if Mark wins the next MM battle! ANYONE ELSE wins, we can just backdoor Mark! Do you really want to have Eva in that battle? Besides, what's your plan if you even win the Remover right now?"
"Mark Junior. Mark's trying to set him up with Taylor; that way, I can take out the bigger Famliance's best player, other than Taylor, who I can't mark."
"Going for the Famliance? Look, here's the deal; you mark Eva, if we win MM, we mark Taylor and Junior, with Mark as a backdoor."
"What if Mark gets a blocker?" Jose asked.
"I wouldn't worry about that. We have the blocker."
"Give it to Junior. Then, if any of us win the Remover, we remove me, try to mark Junior, he'll block, and we 'screw' Eva!"
"That is a great idea!" They shook hands.
"Kitty and the Quad Alliance thinks they can trust me," Jose said in the confessional. "When the time comes, I will make them pay dearly for that mistake. But getting rid of Eva helps me a lot. I'm not going to 'screw' Eva; I'm going to mark her directly, so the Quad Alliance doesn't have the blocker."
"Jose thinks we trust him," Kitty said in the confessional. "When the time comes, we will make him pay dearly for that mistake. But we need his help to get rid of Eva, and if we don't take advantage of this chance, we could be screwed later on. And this will be the perfect revenge against Mark for taking me down with a cancellation idol in 60 Club!"
Kitty snuck into the red bedroom, hiding the blocker under Junior's pillow, along with a note.
"You're not the only one, Mark," Kitty said in the confessional. "This should help soften up Junior for setting him up with Taylor! I love love as much as he does, so I might as well help him out."
Later…
Junior walked in, and began looking around.
"I want to find that blocker," Junior said in the confessional, "so that it's in our hands, and we get an extra element of control."
Junior lifted his pillow, finding the remover, and a note.
"Since I'm immune, you oughta have this!" Junior read. "Figure out something to do with this. -Taylor. Awe!" Taylor walked in.
"Hey, Junior," Taylor said. "I see you got the remover."
"Yeah, I did," Junior replied. "And thanks.'
"Oh, that wasn't me. It was Kitty. Noah found it, and Kitty hid it there. She MIGHT be trying to get us set up."
"Well, I don't care who really put this here," Junior said, "Mark hasn't been wrong so far. Besides, you're pretty cool by my standards; you're sassy, you're strong, but still can be nice and caring."
"You know, maybe we should give this relationship thing a shot…"
"Well, what's the worst that can happen? Sure, let's do it!"
"Alright. But this, as it currently stands, is strictly a showmance. That's not to say it can't evolve."
"Awesome! But, you think we should play it up for the cameras? You know, so the producers will give us some form of an advantage?"
"Congrats," Amy said over the PA, "you figured out the secret of reality TV."
"I'll take that as a yes," Taylor replied, kissing Junior on the cheek.
Later…
"Hey, everyone!" Taylor called. "It's time to pick players for the Removal Battle!"
In the living room…
"Only 6 people will compete in the removal battle," Taylor said. "Since this is double ejection, the nominees will not choose; instead, the MM, me, will pick both of the extra players." Taylor looked over her options. "Junior, do you want to play? If you don't, I'll pick Mark and Eva."
"Sure, I'll play!" Junior said.
"Awesome. I'll let you pick between Mark and Eva."
"Mark," Junior replied.
"Nice," Mark said. "I'll be happy to personally show down Jessica."
"The Removal Battle will come soon," Taylor said. "Good luck! Remember: this is for a Diamond Mark Remover!"
"With a Diamond Mark Remover on the line," Mark said in the confessional, "and everyone marked all but guaranteed to go home, the possibility for a big move is huge. Let's just hope I don't go down. Or worse yet, Eva!"
"Someone might decide to take a shot at Mark or Eva this week," Junior said in the confessional. "Our strategy is to stay with them to the final 6, then, we should outnumber them enough to win. I just hope me or Taylor can beat them in a battle. I'm not counting on Kelly or Dwayne for much."
Later…
"Hey, everyone!" Liam called. "It's time for the removal battle!"
In the backyard…
Everyone walked out, seeing a bunch of pits, and a water slide with 5 speakers at the top, with a large basketball above, with eyes and arms.
"Oh, look, you're here," the basketball said. "Now, get up here, so we can get this over with." The 6 players headed up to the top of the water slide. "I'm Revomer, the most Radical Rapper ever seen. Here's how this is going to work: in each round, I'm going to perform a rap about a battle earlier this season. Then, you'll need to look for the track named after the battle I'm rapping about, come back up the waterfall, and kneel before me with the track. But you'll have to move fast, because in each round, there'll be one less speaker to kneel on than there are players. If you're the last player to bring me the track I ask for, you'll be eliminated. We'll continue until there's only one person left. That person will not only win the honor of being the least trash of the bunch, but they'll also win the Diamond Mark Remover!" The players cheered. "Alright, round 1!
Boy you got roasted
Though I don't blame em
A football star went up in flames!
And the Bookworm's girlfriend couldn't catch a break!
Bring me the track!" An air horn sounded, as the players took off.
"I hear 'a football star went up in flames,'" Mark said in the confessional, "and I know: it's the Big House BBQ from week 1, because despite my theoretical battle beast status, I fell first."
"Mark's got no biceps," Jose said in the confessional. "That helps me get the clue, and one step closer to backdooring Eva."
The contestants began digging around, looking for the correct track. Jose was the first to find something, followed by Junior.
"Come on, Mark!" Eva yelled. "Jose's got it, let's keep our odds strong!"
"Jose would be GREAT for winning the Remover," Eva said in the confessional. "Then, our ally gets to pick another person to mark, and right now, I'm not liking the Quad Alliance. Though weakening the Famliance might also be a good idea."
Basically no one was cheering for Jessica.
"Revomer is like musical chairs," Jessica said in the confessional, "your main goal is to not be the last one back, or you'll be out of the battle. And in my case, out of the battle means out of the mansion; it's double ejection, and Mark wants me out of this mansion after I got framed by Jose, so hopefully, I can win, and Jose and someone else can go home. I really need to win this to prove to Mark that I'm not against him or Eva; I'll let them choose who goes up."
Mark was the next to get a track, and DJ quickly followed. It was a footrace between Taylor and Jessica. They got to the waterfall at the same time, as Taylor completely jarred Jessica, blasting her into the waterfall, but on her way down, Jessica grabbed Taylor's leg, dragging her down, and Jessica and Taylor fought in the water for a bit.
"Come on, Taylor!" Mark yelled. Everyone began cheering for Taylor.
"I didn't really care about this," DJ said in the confessional, "but since Taylor's got a good shot at winning this, I want to get her to use the remover on me. So, yeah, I'm cheering for her."
"Revomer isn't supposed to be a physical battle like this," Jose said in the confessional. "But I'm not complaining; this is working great to wear down Jessica and Taylor, the two biggest physical threats in the game behind Mark and Eva!"
Taylor was eventually able to throw Jessica away, causing her to crash into a pool, and allowing Taylor to make it to the top. Jessica followed, with an awkward silence as she headed up. She stood to the side, looking down, knowing she had been eliminated.
"Jose, what track have you brought me?" Revomer asked.
"I brought you The Big BBQ!" Jose said.
"The Big BBQ!" Junior said.
"Big BBQ," Mark said.
"Big BBQ," DJ said.
"Big BBQ!" Taylor said.
"The correct track was," Revomer said, "Big BBQ! Sorry, Jessica, you have been eliminated."
"Eliminated from the battle, and eliminated from the game, sucker!" Mark taunted, excited. "Who gonna save you now?"
"That's cold, dude," Revomer said.
"Like I give a fuck. Just get the second round going."
"As you wish!"
Jessica was in the confessional, crying. "With that goes my last shot of patching things up. Now, Mark's going to get me ejected, and I've got no way to prove I haven't turned on me. I've lost my own son, because I couldn't keep my goddamn mouth shut!" She cried harder.
"Round 2!" Revomer said.
"Someone got hitched
With her geek of an idol
While you trash jewelers
Were getting stuck on a puzzle
Bring me that track!" The air horn sounded, beginning the round.
"I hear 'geek of an idol,'" Junior said in the confessional, "and I know that it was the day Mark's most famous creation came to the house: Cody and Sierra, married, to host a Removal Battle."
"That was the week Bryan pulled a blow WAY below the belt," Taylor said in the confessional. "It was The BacheloRemover!"
The contestants began digging around. Mark found two.
"Catch!" Mark yelled to Jose, tossing Jose a track.
"If I win, my alliance gets control of the Remover," Mark said in the confessional. "If Jose wins, my alliance gets control of the remover. I'm a little suspicious of Taylor and Junior, since Taylor marked Jose. I just hope DJ doesn't win, because if he does, I'm probably going home."
DJ found a track, and he, Mark, and Jose quickly made their way back up. Junior and Taylor found a track at the same time, and ran for it.
"Alright, he's cute," Taylor said in the confessional, "but what I did next was purely to make sure I stayed in it, and to secure his loyalty."
Taylor grabbed Junior's hand, and kissed him on the cheek!
"WOW," Mark said. Junior was distracted for just a second, but it allowed Taylor to bolt up, beating Junior. It took a while after Taylor made it to the top for Junior to realize he lost.
"Mark, what track have you brought me?" Revomer asked.
"I have brought you The BacheloRemover!"
"BacheloRemover!" Jose said.
"BacheloRemover!" DJ said.
"Theeee BacheloRemover!" Taylor said.
"The correct track was," Revomer said, "The BacheloRemover! Junior, you've been eliminated."
"Dammit, Taylor!" Junior said, with some playful rage.
"Taylor distracted me!" Junior said in the confessional. "Good news is, there's nothing I really could have done with the remover. Unless Taylor or DJ wins, Jose's probably getting unmarked. If DJ wins, obviously, he gets unmarked. Question is, who goes up in his place? If Taylor wins, it's a huge toss-up with Jose."
"Round 3!" Revomer said.
"Woah, I never meant to brag
But I got it right in the box
Woah, it was always my intention to backdoor
To rip your girl out of your hands!
Bring me that track!" The air horn sounded, starting the round. Mark growled a bit, remembering the competition.
"I remember it all too well," Mark said in the confessional. "It was the start of the war between me and Eva and Bryan and Jessica. Perfect Shot; I'll never quite forget it."
Mark was angrily throwing the thick water everywhere, digging for the track, hitting Jose, Taylor, and DJ. He quickly found a track, and ran back. Jose was next, and Taylor was easily able to beat DJ.
"I'm looking everywhere," DJ said in the confessional, "but luck is blasting me; there's so many tracks, but they're all wrong!"
Taylor made it back, and DJ just grabbed a random track, to end the round.
"Mark," Revomer said, "what track have you brought me?"
"Perfect Shot!" Mark said.
"Perfect Shot!" Jose said.
"Perfect Shot!" Taylor said.
"The correct track is Perfect Shot!" Revomer said. "DJ, you've been eliminated."
"Whatevs," DJ replied.
"I'm out," DJ said in the confessional, "but I know that I'm pretty safe this week. I may be Jessica's ally, but I feel like Jose will be voted out over me. Mark gets ticked, but he doesn't do guilt by association personally; only strategically. And Jessica is a personal target, not a strategic target."
"Round 4!" Revomer said.
"You're guilty of everything
Why'd I ever trust you?
Vladimir held this one
As the wrong girl got backdoored!
Bring me that track!" The air horn sounded, beginning the round.
"As soon as I hear 'guilty of everything,'" Taylor said in the confessional, "I know, it's I Plead The Remover from episode 4, when everyone went on trial. Now, I just gotta win this, so I can keep these marks the same. We all know Mark or Jose would remove Jose's mark, it's just a question of who would get marked instead."
Taylor quickly found the track, and Jose did in rapid succession, with Mark still searching by the time Taylor and Jose made it up. Eventually, Mark found the track, and came up.
"Taylor," Revomer said, "what track have you brought me?"
"I have brought you I Plead The Remover!" Taylor said.
"I Plead The Remover," Jose said.
"The correct track was," Revomer said, "I Plead The Remover. Mark, you've been eliminated."
"Meh," Mark said.
"This wasn't really all that important," Mark said in the confessional. "If we lose Jose, that'll suck, but he wasn't a huge part of our game, and he's the brother of Alejandro, so that boy is slippery. Then, we'll just have to use the Quad Alliance and Famliance to help us. The good news: Jessica is gone for sure."
"And now it's time for the final round!" Revomer said.
"I bust your damn plate
I got balls, motherfucker!
Been losing your immunity
Since we brought in Taylor!
Bring me that track!" The air horn began, beginning the round.
"I know this is the Balls To The Plate immunity battle from the Big House Swap," Jose said in the confessional, "and I know right where it is in my pile."
Taylor and Jose charged for the same pile, and Jose threw Taylor off of him. He quickly grabbed the track, and brought it to Revomer.
"Jose," Revomer said, "What track have you brought me?"
"I have brought you Balls To The Plate!" Jose replied.
"The correct track is," Revomer said, "Balls To The Plate, which means, Jose, you win the Diamond Mark Remover!"
"YEAH!" Jose yelled. He high fived everyone but Jessica.
"So, Jose wins," Taylor said in the confessional, "which means, something's going down in the next 24 hours, and lemme tell ya, it's gonna be big."
"I've won the Remover," Jose said in the confessional, "which means, I can execute my plan to backdoor Eva. But now I'm thinking: maybe it's Mark I should go after. He's got brains AND brawn. Eva just has a lot more brawn, and probably can't play this game very well, so I've gotta consider the possibility of marking Mark instead of Eva."
In the backyard…
Jose and Kitty were in the pool.
"Hey, Kitty," Jose said.
"Yeah?" Kitty replied.
"I'm thinking: maybe I should backdoor Mark instead of Eva. I mean, while Eva can win battles, she's not a very good game player."
"Yeah, Mark WAS the mastermind behind me getting voted off," Kitty said. "And now we have a term called 'Kittying' in TD!"
"Yeah, well, you're not gonna get Kittyed this time. Mainly because you cannot get Kittyed, seeing as though this is Big House, not Total Drama."
"Anyway, going after Mark could be a good idea, but you risk being marked if Eva wins the MM battle."
"You realize that if it's knowledge-based, Mark will win anyway. And we're overdue for a knowledge based MM battle. Eva won Big House BBQ, Jessica won Perfect Shot, Mark won Wheel of Labels, and Jessica won Stop Drop and Hold On! This next battle is going to be knowledge, I know it!"
"Well, ultimately, it's up to you," Kitty said. "I hope you'll make the right call."
Later…
"Hey, everyone," Jose called, "it's time for the Removal Ceremony."
In the dining room…
"This is the Removal Ceremony," Jose said. "Taylor has marked me, DJ, and Jessica for ejection, but I have won the Diamond Mark Remover, which allows me to remove my, DJ's, or Jessica's marks, and since this is the Diamond Mark Remover, I will decide who the mark is transferred to. This choice should surprise no one, but I'm using the remover on myself." Jose wiped his mark off the wall. "Since I have used the Diamond Mark Remover, I must now decide who my mark gets transferred to. Since day 1, one person in this house has been labeled a threat, by everyone. And while I've been acting friendly to that person, doing this is necessary for my long-term game, as is it for everyone else in the mansion. The person I am marking is…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
...Mark." Everyone's jaw dropped.
"WHAT," Mark said.
"Mmm-hmm," Jose replied, smirking.
"YOU DID WHAT?!" Eva yelled.
"Wow," Jessica said.
"So, I'm guessing YOU FRAMED MY MOM?!" Mark yelled.
"Yes I did," Jose replied. "Right now, no one has a chance if you stay in this house, so I'm sorry, but this is how it went down." Mark looked angry for a second, then his face changed to amazed shock.
"OK, I'm actually a little impressed!" Mark said.
"This concludes this marking ceremony," Jose said.
"Well, I'm doomed," Mark said in the confessional. "I gotta say, though: well done, Jose. I didn't see that coming, not even out of the corner of my eye."
"Good game, dude," Mark said, shaking Jose's hand.
"GG," Jose replied.
"So, now will you believe me?" Jessica asked.
"Yeah," Mark replied. "Though, it's really not going to make much of a difference at this point. You, me, we're probably going down."
"Yeah. Well, Eva's still here."
"With a target the size of Jupiter on my back!" Eva replied.
"Well, that's true," Mark said. "But hey, you got $250 million waiting for you back home! Well, actually, somewhere around $150 million after tax. Same applies to me."
"True," Eva replied.
"Well, might as well finish what I started," Mark said, looking at Junior and Taylor.
"You already did," Junior said, kissing Taylor on the hand. "Or, at least, we did it for you."
"Nice," Mark said.
On the stage…
"With Double Ejection looming," Amy said, "Mark, DJ, and Jessica are marked. Now, it's time to decide which two will be going home. Let's go to the living room, where the Mansion Dwellers are getting ready to vote."
In the living room…
"Hello, Mansion Dwellers!" Amy said.
"Hi, Amy!" the Mansion Dwellers replied.
"Alright, in just a few moments, you will be voting to eject the 3 people marked for ejection: Mark, DJ, and Jessica. Mark, DJ, Jessica, since you've been marked for ejection, you do not vote, and Taylor, as Mansion Master, you will only vote in the event of a tie. For the rest of you, you will vote to eject Mark, DJ, or Jessica in the confessional. Eva, you're up first." Eva walked to the confessional. "Eva is Mark's girlfriend, and will either vote for Jessica or DJ. She is a major hinge vote." Eva walked in. "Hello, Eva."
"Hi, Amy," Eva said, looking sad.
"Don't be too sad, Eva; remember what we gave you."
"Oh, right." Eva smirked.
"Please cast your vote to eject."
"Well, with Jessica being framed, and Mark being my boyfriend, that leaves DJ."
"Thank you." Eva walked out. "Noah was with Jose in the plan to originally take out Eva, but the target has shifted to Mark. Let's see how he votes." Noah walked in. "Hello, Noah."
"Hello, Amy."
"Please cast your vote to eject."
"I vote to eject Mark."
"Thank you." Noah walked out. "Liam is also probably on board with voting out Mark. Let's find out." Liam walked in. "Hello, Liam."
"Hey, Amy!" Liam said.
"Please cast your vote to eject."
"I vote to eject Mark."
"Thank you." Liam walked out. "Kitty will almost certainly vote for Mark, after colluding with Jose to get him out." Kitty walked in. "Hello, Kitty."
"Hi, Amy!"
"Please cast your vote to eject."
"I vote to eject Mark."
"Thank you." Kitty walked out. "It's official; with 3 votes to eject, Mark will be leaving the mansion, but we have another Mansion Dweller to eject. Kelly's Famliance is probably targeting Jessica this week, but will the fact that Jessica was framed change that?" Kelly walked in. "Hello, Kelly."
"Hey there, Amy!"
"Please cast your vote to eject."
"I vote to eject Jessica, but strategically this time." There was some laughter.
"Thank you." Kelly walked out. "Dwayne is also probably on board with ejecting Mark. Let's find out." Dwayne walked in. "Hello, Dwayne."
"Well, hey, Amy!"
"Please cast your vote to eject."
"I vote to eject Jessica."
"Thank you." Dwayne walked out. "Junior is nearly certain to hammer the final nail in the coffin, and eject Jessica." Junior walked in. "Hello, Junior."
"Hi, Amy."
"Please cast your vote to eject."
"Almost hate to do this after what happened, but I vote to eject Jessica."
"Thank you." Junior walked out. "It's official; with 3 votes to eject, Jessica will be leaving the mansion with Mark, and DJ is safe. Our final vote of the night is Jose, who masterminded the plan to backdoor Mark." Jose walked in. "Hello, Jose."
"Hello, Amy."
"Please cast your vote to eject."
"I vote to eject Mark."
"Thank you." Jose walked out. "So, in a 4-3-1 vote, Mark and Jessica will leave the mansion. Let's tell the Mansion Dwellers."
In the living room…
"The votes are in!" Amy said. "When I announce the decision, the ejected mansion dweller will have only a few moments to say their goodbyes, gather their stuff, and exit the mansion. By a vote…
…
...of 4 to 3 to 1…
…
...the ejected mansion dwellers are…
…
…" Mark and Jessica simply nodded at each other.
"You're safe, dude," Mark said to DJ.
"...
…
...Mark and Jessica. Please leave the mansion!"
"WAIT!" Eva said. "Mark, come here for a second." Mark walked over, as Eva kneeled down. "Mark, if there's one thing I can say about us, it's that we've been through some rough waters, but also so many smooth waves. But no matter what, we've stayed together, stronger than our muscles combined. I've loved you for so long, I can't even remember what episode it turned from a showmance to love. Maybe it was seeing Cody and Sierra get engaged? No, it was probably earlier than that. Anyway, Mark, you've been there for me when no one else would, you kept me around even though your parents told you not to, and as we come out of this, I can say that our relationship has survived the toughest test I hope we'll ever face. But seeing this has made me want an extra sense of security in our relationship. I want you to never leave me, Mark. So…" Eva pulled a black box out of her pocket. Everyone gasped, realizing what it meant. Even Jose was smiling! She opened the box, revealing a black ring with a gold jewel on it. "Mark, I love you with all my heart, and this is what it's come to. Before you leave, I need to ask you: Mark Brucker, will you marry me?"
Everyone had a different reaction to Eva's proposal. Noah was smiling a little (he didn't really care), Kitty squealed a bit, Liam was beaming, Junior was smiling lightly, along with Dwayne, Kelly, and Taylor, DJ was tearing up, and Jose simply smiled. Jessica held her breath. Not a sound came after Kitty went silent. On the stage, Vladimir passed out from shock (again), Amy was smiling, holding her breath, and Sammy was in awe.
"Oh my gosh…" Mark said, trying to get a hold of himself. "I mean, so many emotions are running through me right now… YES YES YES!" Mark said, squealing a bit. He and Eva hugged, before Eva picked him up.
"My boy is growing up…" Jessica said, slightly jokingly. Everyone walked to the front door, as Eva carried Mark over to the door. Eva and Mark shared one final kiss, before Mark and Jessica walked out.
"Least make jury for me, baby!" Mark yelled to Eva, before the door closed.
The crowd cheered as Mark and Jessica walked out.
"Struck down by the double ejection!" Amy said. "Jessica, you had the target on you already, so does going home tonight surprise you?"
"Not really," Jessica said. "I'm ticked off at Jose for framing me like that, but hey, that's what you get when you deal with the brother of one of the most infamous manipulators in the game. Of course, another of those infamous manipulators is my son, so…"
"But hey, I won 60 Club!" Mark said. "Which probably has to do with how I got ejected."
"You both got backstabbed by Jose," Amy said. "Thoughts?"
"I gotta say," Mark said, "though most people would be pissed, I respect his gameplay. Even if it's at my expense, you can't say he wasn't a tough game player."
"That's true," Jessica said. "I am ticked off that he caused Mark to get mad at me, but still, he's just playing a game. Like Mark told me about Heather, Alejandro, Scott, Sugar, Lindsay, Kim, and himself. I don't fully agree with this, but, well, backstabbing is rewarded, though it does not go unnoticed."
"Even though it was a good move," Mark said, "it's probably going to screw him over later, because now, he doesn't have numbers. There isn't as much of a safety in numbers element here as in Total Drama, but there is one, and Jose threw it away by backstabbing me. In my opinion, if he wanted to do what was truly best for his game, he should have put up someone from the Quad Alliance."
"Well, Jose is making an alliance with the Famliance," Vladimir noted.
"That changes everything!" Mark said. "Wow, Jose, he might actually be really good at this game!"
"Well," Amy said, "in the event you were ejected, your fellow Mansion Dwellers taped some goodbye messages for you. Let's watch."
"Hey, Mark," Jose said in the confessional. "If you're watching this, then my plan worked perfectly. Originally, it was gonna be Eva, but I decided that she wasn't a threat at knowledge battles. We're overdue for one in the MM department, and I figure that, at least I can beat her with my brains. You, on the other hand…"
"Hello, Jessica," Eva said in the confessional. "If you're watching this, Jose has done something very very right for himself. I'll try to backdoor him next week, alright?"
"Jessica," Taylor said in the confessional, "if you're watching this, then I know you didn't backstab Mark. Sadly for you, you won two MM battles, and I just can't have that sort of a threat in this mansion with me."
"And so, you've been hit by Jose," Amy said. "What a ride for you two. Thanks for playing, and well see you, and the rest of the ejected Mansion Dwellers, back here for the finale." Mark and Jessica got up, and walked off.
"Only 10 remain!" Sammy said. "Will Jose finish off Bermuda Square and send Eva packing? Will the power fall into the hands of the Quad Alliance or Famliance? Or, will neutral DJ pick it up? Also, what will Noah's next task be? Your options are:
A. Vote against the majority of the mansion and accuse another Mansion Dweller during the eviction fallout.
B. Convince a Mansion Dweller to be marked as a pawn, and eject them.
C. Convince one Mansion Dweller to throw the Head Of Household or Veto competition and get everyone to target them for eviction.
Cast your votes, Canada, and check back next time, here, on Big House!"
A/N: Ugh, I'm finishing this at 11:17 at night… The next few episodes might be a bit slow, because I am running out of ideas.
