Total Drama Pahkitew's Next Step Original, going to remake Chapter 7&8 - The Lava-ble Race, a total drama series fanfic

I've decided to revert to the confessional style that most people use. It's less confusing and more efficient, at least in my opinion.

Warning: This episode of TDPNS has stunt performed by FICTIONAL teens. Please do not try anything you see here at home. Seriously, you could get really messed up.

"Last time on Total Drama Pahkitew's Next Step, it was laundry day. The teens had to get as messy as possible, than they had to clean two equally dirty confessionals, before doing a HUGE pile of laundry. Aaren won it for the Medvjeti by using his Dakota statue. Griff would have gotten the boot off the Svinja, if not winning immunity, which sent Lily to join her friend Luna. But first, she shared a kiss with Carly. The first relationship of the season. Blech. Anyways, in this episode, we're going on a field trip, where we'll see several familiar faces, and do two separate challenges, effectively having two more people leave the cast, to be replaced in the next episode. Find out who's getting the boot right here on Total. Drama. Paaaaaaaaaaaaahkitew's Next Step!"

In front of the new mess hall (with Andrew)

Andrew, like two episodes ago, is walking in front of the mess hall with his headphones in (on?) when he sees a piece of paper fall out of the trashcan. He picks it up and starts reading it. His eyes open.

Confessional – Andrew

He's holding an envelope in one hand and a letter in the other hand. "This must have been the letter Ronnie got from home. Griff DID share the prize with him, after all. But it gives me a lot of information. Um, sorry for reading this on air, but… 'Dear Ronnie, I'm unhappy to inform you that I may or may not have accidentally told mom and dad that we're both gay… the two of us have basically been disowned. I've notified the people at Total Drama to send you to our new house once you're done with the competition. It's'… hey, that's in the same city I live in! Anyways, ' – your favorite brother who deeply regrets it, Stevie.' So Ronnie's homosexual too… that means I actually have a chance!"

End Confessionals

Later on in the mess hall (with Andrew)

Andrew's eating a bowl of rice.

Ronnie comes in and sits down next to him, with a bowl of live grubs. He looks at Andrew's food and groans. "Rice? Lucky…"

Andrew shrugs. "It's because I'm a vegetarian. I guess Chris and Chef can actually be nice. I mean, rice isn't the best food ever… although I always have liked it… and I most definitely like it more than that." He points at the grubs. "You can have some if you want. I don't usually eat that much, and I almost never eat breakfast, so I'm not that hungry." He pushes the bowl over to Ronnie.

"I can tell." Ronnie replies, poking him in the ribs.

"Hey! Stop that!" Andrew says, swatting Ronnie's hand away.

"So anyway, you were going to tell me the inside joke about never eating bananas from Mars?" Ronnie asks, while pushing the bowl of grubs to the other side of the table.

"Oh yeah! Well, you see, when I was little my- " Andrew starts to reply.

[This is an inside joke at the author, Pokemon FTW's house. If you want to hear the whole story, I might add a short later on in the story, or just make a whole new fanfic about it. Anyways, back to the story!]

And that's when Griff sits down across from them.

Andrew immediately glares, before stating, "Well, if it isn't Mr. Traitor."

Griff looks at him questioningly.

"You voted for me to leave. Twice." Andrew clarifies, still glaring. "If you weren't safe last night, you totally would have gone home. And I still think that grass stains are the LEAST dirty out of all of the messes that our team made. I can't believe that YOU of all people turned out to be the evil one in this competition."

"There is nothing either good or bad, but thinking makes it so." The actor replied with a slightly smug look on his face.

Andrew exhales heavily before replying. "For once you're right. I might even forgive you after this competition, but during it… you better watch your back."

Ronnie starts looks incredibly uncomfortable.

Confessional – Ronnie

"Great, so my two best friends in this competition hate each other, the only other people I've talked to for an extended conversation is Aaren and he doesn't get along well with Andrew either. Carly seems nice and gets along with Andrew, but I don't really know her and she seems kinda shy. Indigo seems to get along with Griff, but he's on the other team, and he seems kinda soft spoken. Serena seems to have a temper, Graham seems like Andrew, only multiply the sarcasm by 20 and subtract the attraction by 100… not that I'm attracted to Andrew! And finally, Lauren… well, I don't know. She seems nice, I guess."

Confessional – Lauren

"So I'm not the only one who has a problem with my two best friends in the competition hating each other! I'm kinda glad that I'm not the only one stuck with this, but I also feel bad for him. Actually, he's probably in a worse place than I am, since he seems to like Andrew. And I'm glad that I seem nice to him. I mean, I guess I'm technically cheating by listening into the confessionals, and I'm forced to sabotage my own team, but that doesn't mean I'm mean… does it?"

End Confessionals

Carly sits down, and then notices Andrew glaring daggers at Griff. She looks at Ronnie questioningly.

Ronnie just shrugs helplessly.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the room, Aaren and Serena are glaring at each other, Indigo is sitting as far away from Serena as possible, Graham is shifting uncomfortably in his seat, and Lauren is staring at her grubs, playing with them (albeit looking a little repulsed while doing so).

Finally, Chris walks in.

"Hello, campers! While I'd normally LOVE animosity between campers – seriously, great for the ratings – we have somewhere to be. We're taking a fieldtrip, everyone!" He announces. "Oh, and to make the seating as awkward as possible… I chose it! Serena will be sitting in between Graham and Aaren, Ronnie'll be stuck between Andrew and Griff, and Carly, Indigo and Lauren, you got lucky. You guys are sitting together, but I'll allow you to choose who sits where. Besides, you guys barely know each other, so you don't hate each other! Yet."

Aaren, Serena, Graham, Andrew, Griff and Ronnie all groan because they know that the trip will be torture (because he's sitting next to a psychopath, she's sitting in between the two most annoying people on earth, he's stuck with a punk and a crazy woman, he gets to sit next to his crush but on the other side of his crush is his arch-nemesis which happens to be friends with his crush, same thing only change the whole crush thing into friend, and he's stuck in between his two best friends that hate each other, respectively. Or, I guess in this situation, not so respectively. [The author deeply apologizes for that pun. Please forgive him]).

2. Hours. Later.

"Alright, campers, we're here!" Chris announces.

Everyone celebrates and gets out to stretch their legs. On one side of them is a large metal wall. On all the other sides is a dense forest, which has a small dirt road (presumably what they were driving on).

"Now listen up, maggots!" Chef shouts. "There'll be a small passage way that will open up in this 'ere wall. Go through it one at a time in alphabetical order. There's several surprises on the other side. Some good, some bad, some neutral, some depending on who you are. This idea was mine, so you're 'elcome, maggots. Now get a move on, Andrew!"

Aaren had already started going through.

Andrew shrugs, and crawls through the small entrance that just opened up.

On the other side is something that they're both relatively happy about, although a few of the surprises they… aren't as happy about.

Carly goes in next. She is quickly smothered by two of the surprises, and gets knocked over.

Graham and Griff aren't really that excited about the surprises, although they figure it could be worse.

Indigo is fine with most of the surprises, but two in particular bug him.

Lauren, Ronnie and Serena finally go through.

On the other side of the wall is…

Joshua – "King!" – , Gareth, Olive, Rhonda, Luna, Lily and Evan.

Chris and Chef both somehow manage to fit through the hole.

"Welcome back your previous competition! As you can see, Evan's replacing Blaineley… but since he's coming back in the merge, as well as two of the other contestants here, I figured you guys might want to get to know him." Chris says. "Plus we didn't want Blaineley to return." He shudders.

"Now listen up, maggots! They'll go to their team that they were eliminated from. Evan will take Blaineley's place on the Medvjeti. And they'll help your team with the challenge. Their incentive is, they don't know which of them will be joining you, and if they don't help, they might get in and immediately be voted off by their old team – for the second time!" Chef says, crookedly smiling at the last part.

"Anyways, campers, we'll give you 30 minutes to reconcile with your old teammates and competitors." Chris says. He and Chef go back through the hole.

Andrew, instead of saying hi to the others, looks around at their surroundings first. They appear to be in a cube made out of the same material from the wall before. Before he can even try to go back out, the tunnel back outside shuts.

He sighs and turns back to everyone else.

Evan is hugging Lauren, shooting Indigo a triumphant look over her shoulder. Indigo sighs, dejectedly, before Joshua – "King!" – shows up and starts to torture him for apparently "being the reason that me, the all-powerful King – "King! Oh wait, you got it right this time." – was eliminated".

Rhonda, Carly, Lily and Luna are all discussing something together.

Olive was now arguing in a four way battle between Serena, Graham, Aaren and herself.

Finally, the one that really bothered him, was that Ronnie and Griff were talking.

Andrew sighed and sat down where the entrance into this cube thing was.

"Sign up for Total Drama, they said. It'll be fun, they said. You'll meet new friends, they said." He mutters sarcastically to himself.

Lauren sits next to him. Olive had broken off from the argument and was now talking to Evan, leaving Lauren free to talk to others.

"I see what you mean… no one on my team can really stand each other, and Griff's friendship with Ronnie keeps on getting in the way of your guys' love." She says, having overheard what he said.

"Yeah… wait what? How did you-" Andrew starts to ask.

Lauren rolls her eyes. "It's pretty obvious that you like him, and it's also fairly obvious that the feeling is mutual. I'm pretty sure the only people who don't realize it are Graham and Serena who are wrapped up in their own love problems."

"Geez, it's that obvious? And do you really think he likes me as well? … And I'm pretty sure Aaren has no clue either. He wouldn't notice love if Aphrodite herself was at his door with a box of chocolates, a card, a balloon, a bouquet of flowers AND a teddy bear."

Lauren chuckles at this a bit. "Isn't Aphrodite the Greek god of love or something?" She asks.

"Yup! Born of seafoam along with her brother or son, depending on the myths, Eros, or Cupid, in most myths she changes into someone that you find beautiful. So in your case… Evan?" He responds.

"Evan? Nah, we're just friends. I have my eyes set on someone else." She responds.

"… AAREN?! … Nah. Griff? For the love of Arceus, I hope not. And out of the remaining contestants that aren't taken or in love – at least to my knowledge – that leaves… Indigo?" He questions.

Confessional – Lauren

"THEY'RE ON TO ME!"

End Confessionals

"Nope! I never said it was someone still in the competition, let alone someone in it." She lies.

Nearby, Indigo (having finally gotten away from Joshua – "King!" – ) was listening in.

Confessional – Indigo

"A-at least I know she doesn't like A-Aaren, either…" He sighs. "Not… not like I thought I stood a chance, anyways… I just realized that my mom's probably watching this. And now she's going to know who I like." He buries his head in his hands. "I'm DOOMED. Mom, please, PLEASE just leave it alone. You know what happened LAST time you got involved…"

He pauses.

"Wait a minute, how did I even get in the confessional? We're in a metal cube with no exits or entrances. How do we even get into the confessional during challenges, anyways? Weird… am I the first person to notice this? I guess I'll have to ask Luna, the Brainiac that was on the other team later. Um, if I can get out that is… HELP!"

End Confessionals

Chris and Chef re-enter.

"Okay, contestants, I hope you had a good time reuniting with those who were voted off! So, would the Medvjeti and the Svinja please separate into groups? Oh, and for those of you who were voted off and didn't know, Aaren and Griff swapped teams."

Challenge Explanation

Everyone squeezes out of the metal cube. The bus drives all the way around the metal wall (there's more inside it than just the small metal cube. A lot more, as you'll see in the second part of this chapter).

There's a large river where there are four canoes waiting. On the other bank is an expansive forest. In the distance you can see a large volcano towering above everything else. The volcano is smoking.

"Okay, everyone," Chris announces. "Your challenge will be the most difficult – and life threatening – challenge yet. First off, you will have to canoe across this river. Than you will have to portage through the woods – who can tell me what portage means?"

Andrew and Luna both raise their hands right away.

"Andrew?" Chris calls on.

"If you aren't a boy scout, didn't see the Bony Island episode of the first season, or just have never been canoeing in general, to portage means to carry your canoe across the land." Andrew says.

"Very good. Now, after you're done portaging, there will be another river on the other side of the forest. After cleaning off your canoe, you will canoe to the other side, where you will portage your canoe all the way up the volcano. At the top is several helicopters. They'll be picking up the already-eliminated contestants, and Evan, as well as the canoes. Then, the teams will race down the volcano. There are two rafts in the river. Your team will row across on the rafts, portage the rafts to THIS river, row across, and hopefully not die by the lava. The lava won't be able to reach you at all once you get two thirds of the way over this river, but you have to row your raft ALL THE WAY ACROSS and carry it to me to win invincibility. Have the utmost caution in this challenge. Does anyone have ANY questions?" He asks.

Lauren raises her hand. "Isn't this against our contracts?"

"Eh, this is a fanfiction. But no, it's only against your contracts if you die. So try not to do that. Ehem, Chef will be deciding the canoeing and portaging groups." Chris responds.

"Listen up, maggots. Canoe 1 for the Svinja, the one to the far left, is the Svinja girls. Canoe 2 for the Svinja is the excuses for male Svinja. Canoe 1 for the Medvjeti, the one to the far right, is the Medvjeti girls, and Evan, as he is taking Blaineley's place in this challenge. Canoe 2 for the Medvjeti maggots is the maggoty males for the Medvjeti. Do I make myself clear, maggots?" Chef says, glaring at the campers.

"Yes sir!" Just about everyone responds. (Andrew does an over exaggerated salute, making Ronnie laugh. Chef glares at both of them and they instantly stand up straight as a board, trying not to do so much as breath, in case Chef decides that they would be good targets for his spaghetti launcher.)

"Then you may begin." Chris says.

The sixteen teens (I'm counting Evan as a teen, just for simplicities sake) rush to their respective canoes and quickly start paddling. The girl Svinja are lagging a little behind everyone else (seeing as they have Carly, Olive, Lily and Luna, none of which are very strong), but all in all it's pretty even.

The Medvjeti girls make it to shore first (seeing as they have Serena, Lauren, Evan and Rhonda, three out of four of which are pretty strong), but struggle picking up their canoe.

The male Svinja make it to shore next, and, with Andrew, directing them, quickly pick up their canoe.

The Medvjeti girls finally pick up their canoe, right as the Medvjeti guys get to shore. The guys pick it up at a medium speed.

The Svinja girls finally make it to shore, but manage to pick it up pretty quickly.

Up ahead with the Svinja guys, they're having a little bit of trouble getting around the trees, as well as height different, and both Medvjeti canoes quickly catch up to them. They all get to the next river at about the same time, although the Svinja get their canoe in the water pretty quickly while the other two have a bit more trouble.

Meanwhile, the Svinja girls are getting slightly sore arms, but they quickly forge ahead. They finally get to the second river, where both guys teams have almost gotten across, and the Medvjeti girls are about half way across, fighting a current.

The guy canoes are finally portaging through another small forest, and are almost to the base of the volcano.

Both girl canoes have finally made it to the other side, and quickly start portaging once again.

The guys are finally up at the top of the volcano, tying their canoes to a few helicopters that are waiting there. Aaren, Indigo, Graham, Andrew, Griff and Ronnie start heading down while Gareth and Joshua – "King!" – start climbing up the rope ladders.

On the way down, they pass the girls. Andrew, Griff and Ronnie decide to help their team out a bit, while Aaren, Indigo and Graham head down to prepare their team's raft.

The Svinja canoe quickly overtakes the Medvjeti canoe now that they have seven people (albeit none of them being that strong) compared to the Medvjeti's four.

Lily, Luna and Olive start heading up the ladder while Griff, Andrew, Ronnie and Carly start running back down the volcano, now that they have both of their canoes tied to the helicopter.

The Svinja reach the first river and start paddling their raft across as quick as they can.

Meanwhile, Serena and Lauren are finally coming down the volcano.

The Svinja are now carrying their raft to the second river, while the Medvjeti finally start paddling.

The Svinja aren't talking, just rowing (having gotten to the second river), while the Medvjeti are – like always – having a heated debate.

The Svinja make it across.

Back with the Medvjeti, they've finally made it to the second river. Serena loses her shoe in their panic (as there's a slight earthquake, meaning the volcano's probably going to go off soon).

The Medvjeti finally make it to the other side. Aaren, Serena, Lauren and Graham are all grumbling (about Serena being too bossy, about a wet foot and a missing shoe, about having to vote off another person, and about people grumbling, respectively), while Indigo is silent.

The two helicopters land next to them, a little ways away, letting Joshua – "King!" – , Gareth, Rhonda, Olive, Luna, Lily and Evan out.

"Okay, teens! Medvjeti, you're voting right now and right here who you want to vote off. This is the last challenge as a team, so you might want to think about this carefully. You can also vote off one of the contestants in hopes that you're preventing someone from re-entering the competition, but it might be better to not risk it. Choice is up to you! Today you'll be voting by tossing ONE PERSON'S picture into the lake, then handing the rest back to me." Chris announces, handing them each pictures of everyone on the team as well as the ex-contestants. "You may start whenever. Oh, and Svinja, feel free to watch."

Andrew sits down in front of a tree, watching the volcano behind the water and trees finally go off in front of the setting sun.

Ronnie sits next to him.

"Great view…" Andrew comments.

"Yeah…" Ronnie says. He's currently looking at Andrew. He snaps out of it for a minute, watching the eruption (and the sunset) before going back to looking at a certain someone.

"OKAY, campers!" Chris announces. "The votes are in! First off, if you wish to play an elimination statue, play it now, but you SHOULD ALREADY KNOW THAT, as it literally say it on the bottom of the statue. Anyways, since no one seems to want to play any statues… only two campers got votes. First vote goes to Aaren."

Aaren looks at everyone suspiciously.

"Second vote to Serena."

Serena looks slightly shocked, then mad, then guilty, then looks with acceptance, the slightly angry again.

"Third vote to Serena."

Serena starts to look slightly nervous now.

"Fourth vote, to… Aaren."

Serena mouths Lauren a quick thank you.

"Final vote is for… Serena. Sorry!" Chris announces.

He tosses everyone else a marshmallow.

Confessional – Serena

"I figured I had to go at some point… I'm just glad that Lauren voted with me, and kinda sad that Graham voted for me. He's an idiot. Of course, I am too, since I finally realized why I hated him so much. Oh well, maybe after he's eliminated I can tell him…"

End Confessionals

Votes:

Serena – Aaren

Aaren – Serena

Indigo – Serena

Graham – Aaren

Lauren – Serena

Serena – 3

Aaren – 2

Lauren, Graham, Indigo – 0

Serena – Aaren. Do I even need to say why? Besides, I finally understand and came to terms with why I hated Graham. If I'm not voted off, I'll tell him.

Aaren – Serena. Do I even need to say why? She's bossy, arrogant, and she'll be tough to beat in the merge.

Indigo – While I'd love for Aaren to go as well, I voted for Serena. She's a bit… stand-offish. And she had her chance. She blew it.

Graham – Aaren. Serena hates him more than me, and I'm assuming that Indigo and Lauren are both voting for him as well. Besides, Aaren's a huge threat while Serena's just a minor threat. And I think she likes me. But that's beside the point.

Lauren – Serena. I'm sorry, and if you forgive me I'd still like to be your friend after all this, but… being in an alliance with Graham and Indigo is more advantageous than just an alliance with you. Besides, I get along with almost everyone, and you kind of wreck that a little bit. … I'm sorry.

Reasons for Leaving

And Serena is off! Sorry RocketShark for not making them actually hook up, but honestly I think it turned out better that way. Not EVERYONE is going to officially hook up over the Summer just because they like each other (although they may officially hook up later).

Serena left because she wasn't friendly enough, and I think that's important. People like Heather, Courtney, Duncan (except in AS), Sugar, Max, Amy, Scott and Jo made it surprisingly far for playing such a poor social game. The only person I can think of that played a poor social game in the actual show and got eliminated for it right away was Eva (and technically Amy since she got poisoned and kicked off for playing a poor social game). Serena started off playing a pretty good social game, and it went downhill from there. As soon as she got overbearing (and they lost), they kicked her off. Social game is just important as your physical and mental game, and I think more people need to be reminded of that.

Also, this will definitely change how Graham interacts around both Lauren and Indigo, as they both voted for Serena.

Something important to mention, this entire part of the chapter came to me from a dream. I copied it down EXACTLY how I remembered it (and I have a pretty accurate memory when I do remember my dreams), other than the confessionals (which were nonexistent in the dream), so that's why it may feel a little OOC-ish. But hey, Chris needed to give out more dangerous challenges anyways, and I think this worked okay.

So, who will go next? Find out right here. Literally. This is a two-parter, and the first episode without teams, although I don't consider it to be the official merge. Kind of like the Brunch of Disgustingness in Season 1 where it was boys against girls, right before the merge but not actually part of it. Although it won't be boys vs. girls. It's an automatic elimination round!

The sun has finally set. The eliminated contestants have gone back into the helicopter to stay at their hotel for the night, and the 8 remaining campers are waiting to hear what their next challenge is.

"Alright, campers!" Chris says, grinning evilly. "Today's challenge will be in there." He points at the metal wall.

An archway (much bigger than the tunnel from earlier) opens up, revealing what's inside: a giant amusement park.

"This challenge will test out your speed, both mental and physical. Oh, also, it'll show us if you like roller coasters or not. This challenge is an automatic elimination round. The eight of you will be running in and trying out all nine rides and games: The Ferris Wheel, The Twirla-Whirl, The Egg Scrambler, The Fishbowl Toss, The Dart Game, and four different roller coasters called The Chris, The McLean, The Hatchet and The-Unsafe-Roller-Coaster-of-Shame-Simulation! After you complete each ride, you'll receive a riddle. The first letter of the answer of the riddle will be a letter to unlock this letter lock. Your goal is to make the correct word using those letters. Also, if you don't do all the rides and games before unlocking a letter lock, you will be automatically eliminated instead of the last place contestant. Did I make myself clear?" He says, still grinning evily.

Everyone nods.

"Good. Now go!" He says. The door to the park shuts behind the campers as they run off.

With Andrew

Andrew immediately goes to his favorite ride, The Twirla-Whirl. Upon the ride being over, the person managing the ride gives him a slip of paper.

He reads it out loud.

"It's a word in reverse, without one of the letters and two others switched. Think backpacks and maps. Okay, well, backpacks backwards is skcapkcab, skcapkcab doesn't spell anything even if you do take out a letter and maps… well, I doubt the word is 'map', as that's just a non-plural form of the original word… and why would they put backpacks in if it wasn't important? … Wait a minute, I got it! 'A word' in reverse is drowa, and that without a letter is droa. Switch the r and o and you get… Dora!"

With Aaren

Aaren just finished the fishbowl game.

"Shakespeare says that this is the food of love. Um… spaghetti? I don't know… I guess I'll solve it later…"

He sticks the piece of paper in his pocket.

With Lauren

She had gotten a piece of paper from the man running the darts game.

"Owen's mother had three children. The youngest was June, the middle child was July. What was the name of the eldest child? Easy. Owen. Heard that one a million times."

With Carly

She had just ridden The McLean.

"The first part is always in a disguise and very suspicious, the second part is what you say when you're thinking, and the third part is the first of reversed. Then you must turn it around. Well, um… the second part could be um? B-but… that'd be _um_. What words has um in the middle? Um… pumpkin… but p isn't always in disguise… and pkin isn't the first of reversed… uh… er… ER! And the first of reversed is r… so… Err? Um… ninjaerr? Spyerr? Wait… spider? The first of REVERSED would be the first letter of DESREVER, which is d! I think... so that means the letter I need from this riddle is… r, since I need the last letter, as it said it was reversed."

With Ronnie

"Still can't believe the answer to The Chris coaster is 'Ice'. I figured it'd be Chris, or McLean, or something that's just as pompous as he is. Oh well… let's see, the riddle on this one is… It's a word in reverse, without one of the letters and two others switched. Think backpacks and maps. It's 'a word' in reverse! Um… Dora? An I and a D? Interesting…

With Griff

"If music be the food of love, play on! That's two! Still, 'orange' and 'music'? O and M… mom? Nah, it's nine letters…"

With Graham

"Yellow and Orange? Can't Chris come up with anything better?"

With Carly

"Rents? That's two Rs…

With Aaren

"I have 6 riddles but zero answers…"

With Andrew

"The double letter in mittens would be a T! So that's a D, an O, an R, a Y and a T… Dora Orange Rents Yellow Mittens? Weird, it actually kind of makes a sentence so far."

With Griff

"Owl, Rents, Ice, Spider – only it's in reverse, so Redips, and Music… RIMORS? Closest thing I've gotten so far…"

With Aaren

"I have all nine, but I've only solved two! Ninjaermr? No, that doesn't make sense! Stupid… um… well it has to end in r, since that's the first of reverse, and that must be the correct letter! I hope…"

With Andrew

"D, O, R, Y, T, R, O, I, M… Morty? That leaves DOR though… Dor… dor… dorm… dorm! Dormitory!"

With Carly

"I think I found it in almost the exact order! If I put one R there and another there… Dormitory!"

With Ronnie

"D, A, R, Y, T, R, O, I, M… dairy romt? Uh… no… wait a minute, Owen! It's not an A, it's an O!"

With Griff

"Um… Yordtroim? I dunno…"

With Aaren

"Oh, it's Spider. That was actually pretty tricky! Okay, um… what on earth is the food of love? I have a D, A, R, Y, T, R, O and an I… heh, that almost spells dormitory… wait… music! Music is the food of love!"

He starts running. He sees Griff rushing ahead of him. All of the other contestants have already finished and are watching the race.

Andrew's muttering to himself. "As much as I hate Aaren… please eliminate Griff, please eliminated Griff, please eliminate Griff…"

The person to get to the letter locks first, and unlock it is…

Aaren.

Griff sighs.

"And now we're down to seven! Join us next time at the aftermath, where we'll also introduce who will be coming back to raise the numbers back up to ten!" Chris announces.
