"Last time on Total Drama Island: Our final 16 campers were tasked with rowing to Boney Island: a cursed island, not far from Camp Wawanakwa. Over the course of the challenge, the relationships between Gewn and Trent, and Bridgette and Geoff seemed to thrive, thanks to the efforts of Cody and DJ respectivley. In the challenge, the teams became so evenly match, that they tied! With no clear winner, the campers were let off, easy, and no eliminations were had. However, that won't be the case, tonight! Who will be eliminated? What will happen to the relationships on the island? And what's in store for the contestants in today's challenge? Stay tuned to find out the answers to all of these questions, right here on TOTAL...DRAMA...ISLAND!"

*** Opening Credits ***

The camera opens on a shot of Chris flying above the cabins in a helicopter, causing the campers to jolt up from their sleep. Duncan, in particular, looked freaked out by the sounds of a helicopter and dove under Geoff and DJ's bunk.

"They're coming for us! Hit the deck!"

DJ and Geoff fought the urge to laugh while over at the girls cabin, Leshawna hit her head on the bed as she woke up.

"Ow!" Leshawna rubbed her head in annoyance. "That dude is starting to get on my last nerve."

Meanwhile, Heather yawned and slowly made her way off of her bed.

"Whatever, he just loves to ruin our mornings. Lindsay and Beth, go draw me a shower."

Lindsay and Beth looked at Heather, perplexed.

"What?" Heather asked.

"That's kind of demanding, don't you think?" Beth responded.

"Aren't we your friends? You don't have to be mean to us," Lindsay added.

Just as Heather was about to give an angry response, she stopped and began to think about what Lindsay had said. Slowly, her eyes seemed to grow wide as a realization hit her.

*** Confessional: Heather ***

"You know, when I came into this competition, I had every intention of making my alliance wait on me hand and foot to give me an easy life here. However, to get that to happen, you need to make them fear you. And thanks to my more aggressive plans somehow always failing, I don't have that. They trust me and are on my side, but I'm not in a position to boss them around...yet. I need to change my strategy, at least for the time being. Time to start worrying about having it easy while I'm on this crappy island, and time to focus on dominating this game. Once I get into the swing of things, THEN, I'll make things more comfortable for me."

*** Back at girl's cabin ***

"You know what girls? You're right. That's way too demanding of me. Now what do you say we go get ready for breakfast?"

Beth and Lindsay both happily nodded in agreement and followed Heather outside. Eva, just waking up, rolled her eyes.

*** Confessional: Eva ***

"I can tell when a weasel like Heather is lying. She's taking those two for a ride, and it probably isn't going to end well for them. I feel bad for them, but right now, I have bigger fish to fry."

*** Outside the cabins ***

Following Eva's confessional, the camera switches to a shot of Duncan and zooms out to reveal DJ and Geoff with him.

"So how'd things go with you and your girl last night, Geoff?" DJ asked as they walked.

"Awesome, bro. I think she's already warming up to me. Your advice worked like a charm, dude."

DJ and Geoff exchanged a smile as Duncan rolled his eyes. Suddenly, Chris' voice was heard from the intercoms.

"Attention campers: I hope you're ready for the most challenging challenge, yet! Breakfast in three minutes at the campfire pit. See you there."

Not wasting time, all the campers quickly made their way to the bonfire, where they were greeted by Chris.

"Campers, are you ready for today's EXTREME, MAX IMPACT, CHALLENGE?"

"We. Are. Ready!" Owen pumped his arms in the air as Leshawna shook her head in disapproval of his over the top reaction.

"Incoming!" Chris tossed a can of beans at Gwen, which was caught by Trent before it could hit the goth's face. The two exchanged a smile while Chris passed out a can of beans to everyone.

"This is breakfast," Chris said as he tossed the final can of beans to Noah.

"A can of beans. Gee, you guys sure spared no expense in making sure we don't go hungry," Noah sarcastically commented.

"Beans, beans, they're good for your heart. The more you eat, the more you-"

"Shut up, Owen," Heather said, cutting Owen off.

"Today's challenge, campers, is about survival. We're going hunting." Chris held up a green paintball gun, causing Duncan to grin.

"Now THAT'S more like it," Duncan said.

"Is that a paintball gun?" Harold asked.

"Why, yes. Yes it is." Chris pointed the gun at Harold's side and shot him with a paintball to demonstrate the gun. Harold let out a short grunt in pain.

"So we won't be killing anything, right?" Bridgette asked.

"Nope. This here, is the first ever Paintball Deer Hunt. I'll announce the teams once we get into the woods, so hurry up and finish breakfast."

Owen let out a loud burp, having already ate dozens of bean cans while Chris had been talking.

"Ahhh, that hit the spot. Got anymore?"

*** Outside the woods ***

Chris had a stand of paintball guns set up, holding 3 green paintball guns, and 4 red guns. Below the stand was a closed crate.

"Now then, the hunters for the Killer Bass will be: Harold, Geoff, and Bridgette," Chris said as he tossed a paintball gun to each of the aforementioned campers. "Your guns are locked and loaded with Bass blue paint."

"Aw, what? That's a bummer, I love to hunt, eh."

"Oh yeah, Zeke. Because you were such a great shot with your bow and arrows during the talent show," Duncan coldly replied.

"Screaming Gophers, your hunters, using orange paint, will be Leshawna, Beth, Lindsay, and Owen."

"Woooo! This is awesome, man. I'm pumped," Owen exclaimed.

"All hunters will be wearing these stylish paintball glasses, and wicked camo caps," Chris said, wearing them to show them off. "The rest of you are all now deer."

Chris opened the crate while the remaining contestants looked confused as to what being a deer meant.

"Here are your antlers, noses, and little white tail," Chris said, showing off each article of deer clothing.

"Yeah right. I'm not wearing that," Heath said.

"Oh, there is now way that you're getting me to wear that crap." Duncan folded his arms, not budging.

"I should also mention that is any deer removes their deer clothing, then their team automatically loses. So, you don't really have a choice." Chris placed all the articles of deer clothing on Duncan, causing Duncan to give the host a harsh glare. Chris chuckled in response. Owen also laughed, which annoyed Duncan.

"What are you laughing at?"

"Oh, nothing...Bambi." Owen flicked Duncan's deer tail, ticking Duncan off even more.

"You better be a good shot, tubby."

*** In the woods ***

Duncan, DJ, Ezekiel, and Eva were all walking through the forest, trying to find a good place to hide.

"Well, at least he gave us a head start, eh," Ezekiel commented as they walked along.

"I don't know about you guys, but I'm out of here." DJ then suddenly hunched down, like he was a deer, and quickly scampered off. The sight caused the other three to have perplexed looks before they continued on.

Meanwhile, Noah, Heather, Gwen, Trent, and Cody were also making their way through the forest. All of them, with the exception of Cody, looked annoyed by having to wear their outfits.

"This is, by far, the most humiliating thing I have ever had to do," Gwen commented.

"Aw, come on, guys. It could be fun."

Cody's 4 team mates glared at him in response. He gave them a sheepish grin.

"Right then. I'm just going to go." Cody ran off into the woods, leaving the other 4 to themselves.

"He's got the right idea. We need to spread out. It'll make it harder for the Bass hunters to find all of us," Noah commented. "I'm going to go find somewhere to hide."

Noah walked off, leaving Heather, Gwen, and Trent behind.

"Well, I think I'm going to go find Beth and Lindsay. It'll be easier to make a plan with them with me." Heather began to walk off, until Gwen spoke up.

"Isn't working with our hunters against the rules?" Gwen asked.

"I don't remember hearing Chris say anything against it, so I'm doing it. You two try your best to not get shot, so we can win this." Heather walked off, irritating Gwen.

"Look on the bright side," Trent said as he placed his hand on Gwen's shoulder. "At least we can get through this challenge together."

Gwen smiled.

"Guess it doesn't suck THAT bad, then." Trent smiled back at Gwen. "Come on, let's go find somewhere to hide from the hunters."

Trent nodded in agreement and the couple walked off into the woods.

*** Elsewhere ***

In a different area of the forest, Harold, Geoff, and Bridgette were preparing to go hunt for Gopher deer. Harold and Geoff looked excited for the hunt, while Bridgette looked hesitant to use her paintball gun. Harold, concerned by her look, tried to encourage here.

"You know, it's just pretend. We won't actually be hurting anyone. It's only paint. So, if you were to hit Heather-"

"Wait, Heather is a deer?" Bridgette smiled and quickly slid here paintball glasses. "Let's do this."

Geoff and Harold smiled and joined Bridgette as they walked off into the forest, to hunt.

Meanwhile, the Gopher hunters were also preparing their guns for the hunt. Owen brandished a jar of yellow liquid and poured it over himself.

"Uh, Owen? What are you doing?" Beth asked.

"Masking my scent so that the others don't catch my scent." Owen chuckled to himself. "They'll never see me coming!"

"That wasn't pee, was it?" Lindsay asked.

"Of course. I have some more if you guys want some."

The other three girls gagged at Owen's offer.

"Boy, you DO know that we're just hunting other people, right? There's no use in masking your scent," Leshawna responded.

"You mean I gathered all this pee for nothing? Bummer," Owen tossed his jar of pee over his shoulder and walked into the woods. Leshawna, Beth, and Lindsay ran away to avoid the incoming bodily fluid.

*** Confessional: Leshawna ***

"Seriously, pee? That boy's got problems."

*** In the forest ***

"Where do you think they could be? We've been searching for, like, ever," Lindsay whined as her and Beth walked through the woods.

"We've been looking for five minutes," Beth responded. "Anyway, we should find someone, soon enough. They got to be around here some-"

"Psst. Girls, over here."

Lindsay and Beth turned around and saw that Heather was behind them.

"Heather? What are you doing here? Shouldn't you be hiding from the Bass hunters?" Beth asked.

"It's all part of the plan, Beth. If we stick together, things should work out perfectly. I can search for the Bass deer and let you know where they are, and you guys can be on the look out for the hunters so that I can hide from them."

"Sounds fun," Lindsay gleefully remarked.

"Just stick with me, and we'll make this challenge a breeze. Come on girls, let's get to searching."

Beth and Lindsay happily nodded in agreement and followed Heather through the woods.

*** Confessional: Beth ***

"You know, Heather may seem a bit abrasive at first, but she's actually becoming a really good alliance leader. With her coming up with great plans like this, what could possibly go wrong?"

*** In the forest ***

The camera shows what appears to be an empty area of the forest, with a pile of twigs and leaves being the only think on the ground. However, after zooming in, it is revealed that Noah is under the pile, keeping him out of sight from any hunters.

*** Confessional: Noah ***

"I'm very resourceful. Just a few leaves and branches, and I had my hiding spot made in no time at all. Good luck to the Bass hunters that are looking for me. Now all I have to do is hope my team pulls their weight, too."

*** Near the Mess Hall ***

The camera shows Cody as he walks through the woods and stumbles upon the Mess Hall.

"The Mess Hall? Nice! They'll never find me in there."

Cody happily jogged up to the building and closed the door behind him. He looked around and saw that the mess hall was, indeed, deserted. He smiled to himself due to how smart he thought his plan was.

"Awesome, now all I need to do is wait here till the challenge blows over."

Cody took a seat at one of the tables and relaxed. Just as he was about to get comfy, his stomach made a growl.

"Heh, guess those beans didn't fill me up, too much. After all, Owen DID take most of them." The Gopher member looked up at the kitchen and smirked. "Well, I AM in the Mess Hall. Ought as well eat some grub while I'm here."

Cody jumped up from his seat and walked into the kitchen area. After looking around, once more, to make sure that Chef wasn't around, Cody walked over to the fridge and opened it up. His eyes lit up when he saw all the food inside. Chicken, ham, and even a scrumptious looking cake. He picked a chicken leg up and quickly took a bite out of it. He smiled from how delicious it was.

"Aw, man. Chef has stuff this good in here, and they still have him serve crud to us for breakfast? What a ripoff."

After finishing his chicken leg, Cody eyed the other foods inside of the fridge and also looked around at the various snacks that were throughout the kitchen.

"This is the best challenge, ever. Time to dig in!"

*** In the woods ***

Owen is seen trying to stealthily sneak through the woods, keeping a lookout for any Bass deer.

"The hunter can sense that prey is nearby," Owen said, speaking in the third person. "The hunter stays focused, enjoying the thrill of the chase, and anticipating when he will find his target."

Owen sniffed the air and tiptoed around another tree, where he spotted DJ nearby, eating grass like a deer would.

"Suddenly, the hunter spots a wild buck. A magnificent specimen, and ideal prey for the hunter. If he's to succeed, the hunter must demonstrate patience, control, and-"

Owen's monologue was suddenly cut short by himself, when he let out a loud fart. DJ heard the flatulence, spotted Owen, and quickly scampered off.

*** Confessional: Owen ***

"The hunter would also like to point out that beans make him fart...a lot. But never fear! The hunter will catch his prey no matter what!"

*** In the Mes Hall ***

Cody is shown at the kitchen table, chowing down on the cake that was in the fridge. He also had other snacks such as doughnuts and chips scattered throughout the table.

"Oh man, this cake is fantastic. Chef's been holding out on us, big time."

While enjoying his meal, Cody didn't notice the sound of footsteps behind him.

"Enjoying your little feast there, maggot?"

Cody froze and dropped the piece of cake that he had been eating on. Slowly, he turned his head around and looked up at the source of the voice. It was Chef, who was staring down at him with a very annoyed look in his eyes.

"H-hey there Chef. Fancy seeing you here. You see, I was looking for a place to hide from the hunters, and I just so happened to stumble upon here, so I just decided to come in and..."

Cody fell silent as Chef's glare intensify, making Cody increasingly nervous.

"Well, would you look at the time. Would love to stay and chat some more, Chef, but I really must be going."

Before Chef could react, Cody quickly swiped up a bag of chips and bolted out the door. Chef considered following him, knowing he could easily catch up to him, but decided against it and simply sat down at the table. He picked up a handful of cake and ate it.

"Dumb kid."

*** Back to the woods ***

Heather, Beth, and Lindsay are seen walking through the forest, looking for any members from the enemy team.

"It's been almost 30 minutes. How have we not found anyone, yet?" Heather asked.

"Someone should be around here, somewhere," Beth added.

As if on cue, the trio heard a twig snap nearby, signifying that someone else was nearby.

"I think someone's there," Lindsay whispered.

"Duh. I'm going to check it out, you two stay here." Heather quietly sneaked over to a bush where she could look to see who was there. After a short bit of searching, Heather spotted Harold, Geoff, and Bridgette nearby, guns at the ready. Heather's eyes grew wide and she quickly retreated back to Lindsay and Beth.

"Who was it?" Lindsay asked.

"It's the Killer Bass hunters. We need to go. Like now."

Heather's alliance members nodded and quickly took off with her in the opposite direction of the Bass members. As they ran, they saw Cody running towards the way they had come from. Seeing that he showed no signs of stopping, Heather grabbed him to make him stop.

"Let me go, Chef is going to kill me!"

The girls looked at the directions Cody had been coming from, puzzled.

"He isn't back there, Cody. If he was following you, then you lost him," Beth said.

"For real?" Cody looked up and saw that the girls were correct. "Phew. That's a relief."

"Cody, listen to me. The Killer Bass hunters are that way," Heather said, pointing to where the three of them has come from. "Don't go that way."

"Got it. Thanks for the tip." Cody hopped up, grabbing his bag of chips with him. "See you around, ladies," Cody said before taking off in another direction.

"Nice work, Heather. That could have ended badly for him," Beth said.

"Thanks. Now let's keep moving before-"

"Before we show up?"

Heather froze and looked up to see that Bridgette was the source of the voice, with Harold and Geoff beside her. They all had a grin on their face as they stared down Heather.

"Uh oh," Lindsay commented.

"Stop them," Heather yelled out as she took off in the opposite direction of the Bass. Thinking quickly, Beth dove at Geoff and Harold, knocking them over in the process. Lindsay followed by example, and dove at Bridgette, knocking her over as well. By the time the Bass hunters had picked themselves up, Heather was long gone.

"GOSH. We almost had her," Harold said, disappointed.

"Sorry, guys. Better luck next time," Beth said as her and Lindsay continued on into the forest. The Bass trio looked annoyed, but decided to go in the direction that Heather had gone, hopeful that they would find her.

*** At the hill ***

At the hill from the first challenge of the season, DJ is seen running up as fast as he can. Owen is behind him, trying his best to keep pace. He is shooting many paintballs at DJ, but all missed their mark. After a bit of chasing, DJ reaches the end of the cliff. Having DJ cornered, Owen gets a wide smile on his face.

"The hunter has his prey in the perfect position to be taken down. Without hesitation, the hunter draws his gun," Owen said as he pointed his paintball gun at DJ, "and shoots!"

DJ braced himself as Owen pulled the trigger. However, nothing came out. Worried, Owen pulled the trigger over and over again, and yet still no paint came out. Realizing he was no longer in danger, DJ's mood went from scared to annoyed that Owen had cornered him at the cliff. Owen sheepishly smiled as DJ glared at him.

"Heh, heh. Hey, DJ. Sorry about that whole, 'Hunter' thing. Got kind of carried away. No hard feelings, right?"

DJ responded to Owen by promptly picking him up and chucking him off the cliff.

Meanwhile, Cody is walking along in the forest, elsewhere, enjoying his bag of chips.

"At least I got these before Chef chased me out. Not as good as the cake, but still good."

As Cody walked along, he suddenly bumped into Ezekiel.

"Whoa, sorry about that, eh." Ezekiel eyed Cody's chips. "Where'd you get those, eh?"

"The Mess Hall. Snagged them before Chef chased me out. Want some?"

"Sure!" Ezekiel grabbed a handful of chips and ate them. "Not bad, eh."

"You should have seen the cake that Chef has in the kitchen," Cody responded. "So how's things going for you as a deer?"

Ezekiel was unresponsive as he seemed to be looking around and sniffing the air.

"You ok, dude?" Cody asked.

"There's a bear, nearby," Ezekiel responded.

"What?"

"I can smell it, eh. My folks taught be how to identify all sorts of forest animals. And there's definitely a bear coming from the North, eh."

"Well what do we do?" Cody seemed to be freaking out. Ezekiel looked at his bag of chips and quickly hatched a plan.

"Quick, throw your chips that way," Ezekiel said pointing North. "It'll distract the bear. Then we'll take off in the opposite direction."

As soon as Ezekiel finished speaking, a loud roar came from nearby. Not needing to be told twice, Cody chucked his chips at the direction Ezekiel had pointed at, and the two turned and ran away from the beast.

*** Confessional: Ezekiel ***

"Being homeschooled your whole life can be kind of sucky, but it has SOME benefits, eh. Glad I could smell that bear coming before it could get to Cody. That could have been messy."

*** Confessional: Cody ***

"Good lord, in the course of one day, I've narrowly avoided Chef, being hunted by the Bass, AND getting mauled by a bear. Seriously, what is it with today?" Cody sighed. "Oh well, at least Zeke was there to help. Can you imagine if that bear would have got to me? That would have sucked, BIG TIME."

*** In the woods ***

As Duncan is walking through the forest, he turns a corner and suddenly bumps into Eva. After looking up, both looked annoyed to see each other.

"Of all the people I could have bumped into, it had to be you," Duncan commented. "That's just my luck."

"Oh, stick a sock in it you punk. Be glad it was me and not a Gopher hunter," Eva responded.

"I think I would rather have bumped into a Gopher hunter," Duncan retorted.

"Funny that y'all should say that..."

Eva and Duncan looked up to see Leshawna looking at them with a smirk on her face. In a flash, the two of them jumped up and took off as fast as they could, with Leshawna close behind, trying to shoot at them. Leshawna chased them a long distance, but the two deer were quicker and were decently out of sight, soon enough. As Eva looked up, she spotted the cliff from the first challenge.

"Up there! She'd never expect us to run up the cliff."

Duncan nodded in agreement and followed Eva up to the cliff, all the way up to the edge. They looked behind them and breathed a sigh of relief when Leshawna was not behind them.

"I'll give you this one, Eva, that was a good plan. It's going to be tough for the both of us to sneak around her when we go back down, though."

"True. So I'll just make things easier for myself."

"What the heck does that me-" Duncan was cut off when Eva suddenly yelled and swung a left hook at Duncan. Unable to respond in time, Eva's fist made contact with Duncan's face and sent him flying off the cliff, to the waters below.

"That's for trying to eliminate me, you jerk," Eva yelled down. Duncan quickly hit the water and howled in pain from the impact.

"OW! Eva, you no good bi-" Duncan feel silent as he looked over and saw Owen in the water next to him. "What the heck are you doing here?"

"Long story," Owen responded.

*** Confessional: Eva ***

Eva is seen laughing inside the confessional.

"That was perfect. Definitely worth the wait. Never has a punch felt so good."

*** Confessional: Duncan ***

Duncan is seen with a large black eye and a very frustrated look on his face.

"This...means war."

*** In the woods ***

The camera shows Lindsay and Beth looking through the forest.

"The challenge should be over soon. We better find a deer, and fast," Beth said.

"I hope Heather's ok," Lindsay added.

"She'll be fine. She's tough. We just need to come through for the team," Beth responded.

"Wait, look over there! It's a deer!" Lindsay took off before Beth could respond. Beth ran to catch up to Lindsay, and spotted the deer that Lindsay had seen. Beth's eyes quickly grew wide as she saw it.

"Lindsay, wait!"

Beth was too late, as Lindsay had already fired at the deer. There was a yell of pain when Lindsay's eyes also grew wide as she realized who she had just shot. It was Heather. Heather, infuriated, looked back and gave Lindsay a death glare.

"Lindsay, you idiot," Heather yelled at the top of her lungs. "I'm on YOUR team!"

"Sorry, Heather. I thought you were from the other team."

"Of course I'm not, you dolt! Did you not see my clothes? Are you really that empty-minded?"

Unbeknownst to Heather, her yelling had caught the attention of three other nearby campers: Harold, Geoff, and Bridgette. The trio looked around a tree and saw Heather giving Lindsay the verbal abuse, unaware of their presence. Wasting no time, the three opened fire on Heather, covering her in the Killer Bass' blue paint. Once again, Heather yelled in both pain and annoyance.

"What the crap?" Heather looked up and saw the giggling members of the Killer Bass. "Oh, that's just perfect. Of course they found us. Of all the stupid luck." Heather was still loudly yelling as she grew more and more frustrated.

"What's going on over here?"

Heather looked up and saw Trent and Gwen approaching her, apparently also being alerted by her yelling.

"Guys, wait!"

Heather's warning was too late, as the Bass hunters had fired paintballs at both Trent and Gwen, covering both of them in paint.

"Oh, come on." Heather was about to lose it from how badly things were going. "How could this get any worse?"

"Attention campers." Everyone looked up, hearing Chris' voice from the intercom. "The challenge is now over! Please return to camp so we can decide which team has won."

The three Killer Bass hunters grinned and waved goodbye to the Gophers. Gwen and Trent were still shocked by the sudden paint onslaught, while Heather continued to be frustrated.

"I. Hate. Chris."

*** At the challenge site ***

All the campers had returned to Chris, where the challenge had began. Owen and Duncan were soaking wet, with Duncan having a huge black eye to compliment it, Cody and Ezekiel still looked exhausted from escaping the bear, and Heather, Gwen, and Trent were all coated in paint.

"Looks like you all have had quite the day," Chris mused, causing many of the campers to glare at him. "Well, unless you count Duncan's shiner, the Killer Bass are unmarked. The Screaming Gophers, however, have three painted members. One of them even has paint from their own team!"

Noah looked at Heather, curiously.

"How DID you get some of our team's paint on you?"

"Ask Lindsay," Heather said through gritted teeth.

"My bad," Lindsay sheepishly responded.

"Not really much to think about here. The winners are clearly the Killer Bass!"

The Bass members collectively cheered, while the Screaming Gophers all looked distraught.

"See you at the bonfire tonight, Gophers."

*** Outside the Girl's Cabin ***

"Well then, Lindsay. What have we learned today?"

"Pay more attention before doing something bad?" Lindsay asked in response to Heather.

"Before you do something STUPID," Heather snapped back.

"Right. Sorry."

"Ugh. It's fine. So, anyway, we'll vote Gwen off tonight. Won't be losing much there," Heather said.

"And we'll do better next time?" Beth added.

"Right. We can't let today's screw up get to us. We'll recover from this and get back on track after the bonfire. Agreed?"

"Agreed," Beth and Lindsay both said in unison.

*** Confessional: Heather ***

"Am I still ticked off at Lindsay's mistake today? Off course I am. She shot me! But I can't let this get in the way of me dominating the game, and if I'm going to do that, I'll want to keep Lindsay and Beth. Since goth girl got hit today, too, we'll vote her off. I don't know how my plans have continued to be foiled up to this point, but it's only uphill from here. Things are going to change for me starting with tonight's elimination ceremony. I guarantee it."

*** Bonfire Ceremony: Screaming Gophers ***

The 9 remaining Screaming Gophers are gathered around the bonfire and are greeted by Chris.

"Gophers, welcome back to the bonfire ceremony. Today's challenge was a lot of fun, but now it's time to get serious. You have all placed your votes and made your decision. When I call your name, come up and get a marshmallow. The camper that does not receive a marshmallow will be eliminated. And they can never come back...ever."

All the contestants nervously eyed the platter of marshmallows that Chris was holding.

"The first person safe is...Heather."

Heather smirked and got up to receive her symbol of immunity.

"Also safe is Noah, Owen, Cody, Leshawna, Trent, and Beth."

Each camper took their marshmallow as their name was called, leaving only Lindsay and Gwen left without one.

"Gwen and Lindsay. This is the final marshmallow of the evening. One of you is going to receive it. The other will have to walk the dock of shame, leave on the boat of losers, and leave."

Both girls' eyes grew wide as they looked at the final marshmallow, obviously nervous about who would get it.

"The final marshmallow of the evening goes to...

Gwen!"

Gwen breathed a sigh of relief and jumped up to receive her marshmallow. Lindsay, Beth, and especially Heather all looked stunned.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa. Lindsay is eliminated?"

"That's right Heather. She racked up the most votes, ergo, she's outta here," Chris said.

Heather's jaw dropped as she turned around to face her team mates.

"Why the heck did you guys vote for her?"

"Well, she kind of lost us the challenge. She shot you and started the chain reaction that led to you, Gwen, and Trent getting shot by the Bass. It was kind of a no-brainer," Noah responded.

"This can't be happening. This isn't a part of the plan."

"It's ok, Heather. It IS my fault that we lost. I'll be ok," Lindsay commented.

"But my alliance won't be," Heather thought to herself.

"Aw, I'm going to miss you. We'll win for you, BFF," Beth said, giving Lindsay a hug.

"Yeah, definitely," Heather weakly added, also giving Lindsay a hug.

"Thanks, girls." Lindsay smiled and went over to say goodbye to the remainder of her team. Heather tried her best to hide her frustration, but Beth was able to notice it.

"You going to be ok?" Beth asked.

"...I'm going to need to do A LOT of planning. This ruins everything I had planned for the game. We're going to have to work twice as hard if we're going to dominate the game like I wanted us too." Heather sighed as she watched Lindsay give one final wave goodbye. The blonde made her way down the docks of shame and was taken away from the island on the boat of losers.

"We can still do it," Beth said to encourage her. "This may be a big setback, but we can still make it to the final two."

Seeing that Heather still seemed to be distraught by the elimination, so Beth decided to give her some time to herself. Once she was alone, Heather sighed once again.

"Why can't I catch a break in this stupid game?"

*** Later ***

"And so concludes another episode of Total Drama Island. Bet you didn't see that elimination coming, did ya? Heather sure didn't, hehe. What could I have in store for the campers next? How will Heather's plan work now that Lindsay is gone? And who will be the next one to walk the dock of shame. Tune in next time, right here on TOTAL...DRAMA...ISLAND!"

Author's Note: Finally and update! Sorry that this one took a bit. It was for a couple of reasons. First is school. Second is because I was working on other fan fics. Third, and most important, is because I've been thinking over the storyline for this fic for a while. I didn't like the original path I had planned, and now have one that I much prefer. This chapter was the first in what I hope to have represent how the story becomes drastically different from canon TDI. Hope everyone enjoyed it. Also, if you haven't already, check out my other Total Drama fan fiction: Total Drama Survival. It has, what I believe to be, a great storyline, and is one of my favorite stories to work on. I enjoy writing this story too, but because the entire storyline of TDS is original(Challenges, relationships, etc), I'm a bit more proud of it. Give it a read if you get the chance.

Also, here's something new: Polls! If you go to my profile, you'll see a poll question at the top that you can answer to voice your feedback. This week's question is: Which underdog on Total Drama Underdogs is your favorite/has had the best storyline so far? Your options are Ezekiel, Eva, Harold, Noah, Cody, and Beth. Feel free to go to the profile and vote.

Until next time, hope you guys enjoyed the chapter.
