EP 10: Chris's Day Off
Last time on Total Drama Danger Island...
The Final Seven spent the day cooking food for Chef and two guests. We learned Contessa can't cook to save her life. And Gary has absolutely no idea how to work a stove. Matthew did everything he could to sabotage the others, too bad he couldn't stop Natasha from winning. In the end a certain lavender haired rebel, who shall remain nameless, trashed my trailer and got herself disqualified. Today, I'm getting a day off from these teens. Watch what happens right here on Total... Drama... Danger Island!

The opening theme starts off similarly to season one's.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine.
You Guys are on my mind.
(When the camera dives into the water, Kitsune is seen swimming toward the surface. )
You asked me what I wanted to be and I think the answer is plain to see.
I wanna be famous.
(On the surface, Olivia is seen lounging on a pool raft and doesnt notice Kitsune. A bird flies down and grabs her headband. The camera follows the bird until it drops it and then follows the headband to a clearing where Angel is seen dancing around. The camera zooms out to show Terrance and Lily, the former about to say something until he sees the glare Lily is giving him.)
I wanna live close to the sun.
(The camera pans to a waterfall, where Mitch and Matthew are seen arguing in a canoe and don't notice that they are going over.)
Well pack your bags 'cuz I've already won.
(Pan to a log near the fall where Britney is sitting crossed-legged and eyes closed, meditating. She does not notice Mitch and Matthew nor does she notice Malcolm swinging on a vine past her.)
Everything I do, nothing in my way, I'll get there one day.
Cuz I wanna be famous
(The camera follows Malcolm as he swings through the camp. Then pans ahead to an outhouse where Rebecca is spray painting a target, she steps aside just as Malcolm crashes into it. Pan to the mess hall where chef is agrily stiring a pot. Pan left to see Gary rapping and Carly shaking in fear. A spoon flies from the right and hits Gary, knocking him over. Pan a little more to the left where Natasha has a turns a page in his book with a small smile.)
Na nananana nanananana nananananana
(Contessa is seen sitting near the door in the mess hall, she sees the camera and gives a small wave. The camera pans to the right to show Jaxon making a screen gesture as he looks around the island.)
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be famous
I wanna be I wanna be I wanna be famous
(The camera pans to the dock to show Victor giving an exagerrated wave and bow. Mid-bow water is dumped on him, he looks up horrified to see Chris flying above in a jetpack with a bucket. He gives an unapologetic shrug and flies off. The flame dies down and day tuns to night. When the camera pans back down, Angel and Contessa are gazing into each others eyes. Then Lily pops up between them with a knowing look. Causing the two to look away in embarassment. the camera zooms out to show the whole cast as they whistle the last notes of the theme song)

(UNKNOWKN BEACH)
The Final Six were asleep on a beach. Suddenly Britney shot up. "Where am I? Not again. Everyone wake up!" The others shot awake with various cries asking what happened and where they were.
"Chris dragged us off somewhere?" Matthew asked. "Again!"
Natasha grabbed Gary and pointed at a sheet of paper. "Check it. Nat's found a note," the rapper said.
"Don't just stand there," Contessa snapped. "Read it!"
"But he can't talk yo." Natasha face-palmed.
"I think she meant you Gary," Angel offered.
"Oh yeah." He cleared his throat before reading. "Good Morning campers. Congrats on making the Final Six. You may take a moment to reflect on this."

CONFESSIONAL
ANGEL - "The Final Six! I think I might have a real shot at this. And, Rebecca's finally gone! Between that, all the friends I made, and Contessa maybe liking me back, I'd be happy no matter when I went home."
BRITNEY - "I'm feeling pretty good. I like pretty much everyone here, except Gary. I'm also sensing something weird from Natasha. But anyway, I'm now the strongest and fastest player in the game. And I'm like the third smartest and haven't made any enemies, but then again, no one else has either. If I had to guess, I'd say either Angel or Contessa are going home next. Being in a couple kinda puts a target on your back."
CONTESSA - "The Final Six? It's nice. But Angel liking me back is so much better. I just have to get rid of Natasha, and then explain how Lily was voted off, and then hope she still likes me... I'm doomed."
GARY - "Man, they just keep dropping! I ain't too sure about who to go after next, but these notes I'm getting will point me the way. All the way to the million baby!"
MATTHEW - "The Final Six. Whoop-dee-do. Call me when I'm in the Final Two."
NATASHA - "That moron still hasn't figured out I'm the one sending him the notes. Oh well, as long as he thinks my ideas are his, everyone will think so. It's all going according to plan."

"I'm still upset over You-Know-Who trashing my trailer," Gary continued reading, "so I'm taking the day off. In an homage to Season One's Castaway Disaster, your challenge is to survive on this deserted island until I feel like coming to get you. And I highly recomend working together for this one. You saw how the 'every camper for themselves' rule woked last time."
"That's great advice Chris," Matthew snarked. "But how do we win this stupid challenge?"
"I was getting to that yo!" Gary said. "There ain't no immnity this time."
"What? Give me that!" The hipster snatched the note and read. "There will be no immunity this challenge. Seriously?!"
XXXX
CONFESSIONAL
MATTHEW - "How am I supposed to make sure other people lose if no one can win?
XXXX
"Well, since we're stuck in this together, we might as well work together." Matthew said. "I'll be the leader, since I'm the smartest one here."
"Actually," Britney said. "Since I have a lot of experience with surviving things, I should be the leader."
"I second that," "Makes sense," Angel and Contessa agreed.
"Fine," Matthew conceded, "Whatever."
XXXX
CONFESSIONAL
MATTHEW - "When Britney first got here, she was a friendless jumble of nerves. And easy to manipulate. Now she's getting backbone. Time to change targets."
XXXX
"So what's the plan yo?" Gary asked.
"The two most important things are food and shelter, How about me, Contessa, and Angel go look for the food and the guys can look for somewhere to sleep." They all agreed. "Good."

(WOODS)
"So why'd you choose to go with us?" Contessa asked as they walked through the woods.
"I wanted to talk to you about tonight's vote," the globetrotter replied. "There's something about Natasha I just don't trust."
"You and me both," Contessa said nervously.
"How can you not trust him?" Angel asked. "He hasn't said anything to make you feel that way."
"He hasn't said anything at all," Britney retorted. "How can someone make it so far without interacting with anyone the whole game?"
"He's friends with Gary."
"That is true. Maybe Gary is the one not to trust."
"No, it's whoever's been sending him those notes," Contessa said.
"What if he's the one with the notes just to set us on a wild duck chase?" Britney asked.
"I think you mean 'a wild goose chase.'" Angel said.
"Yeah," Contessa said. "And I don't think Gary's smart enough fot that."
"Unless it's an act," Britney offered. "I don't think anyone is that dumb."
"Good point. What are we looking for anyway?"
"I'll let you know when we find it."

(BEACH)
Matthew waited until the girls were out of earshot before saying, "Hey Gary. How about you scout ahead? We'll catch up."
"Sure thing yo!" The rapper said as he ran off.
Natasha raised an eyebrow at the hipster.
"Look we're at the end game and I'm sure you need more allies than MC Bad Grammar. So how about you team up with me?"
The silent teen crossed his arms.
"You've barely acknowledged anyone's pressense since you got here. Do you really think you can make it any further without a decent ally?"
Natasha rubbed his chin in thought before shrugging and taking the hipster's hand.
"Pleasure doing business with you. Now about the next vote-"
"Check it y'all!" Gary called to them. "I found something!" The two ran over to where Gary had called them from and dropped their jaws at the sight. It was the same treehouse fond by the Final Four in Season One.

MATTHEW - "You. Have got. To be. KIDDING ME!"

"You mean we're on the same part of this crappy island they washed up on last time? When Chris gets back I am going to destroy him!"

NATASHA - "So Matthew has a temper when things don't go his way. This, I can use."

"Guess we gotta wait on the girls," Gary said. Natasha nodded.

(TREEHOUSE)
The six campers were all eating on the nuts and berries the girls brought back. "You couldn't find something a little more filling?" Matthew complained.
"I saw the castaway episode," Britney explained. "I wasn't taking any chances."
Natasha put a hand on her shoulder and offered her a kind smile.
"Thanks Natasha." Matthew looked confused before gasping in realization. Then he glared at the silent teen.
"It's still too early for sleep yo," Gary said. "What do y'all wanna do?"
"Let's try to get to know each other," Angel offered. "With such a short season, we've never really had time to do that."
"Why not," Britney agreed. "Who's up first?"
"I'm kinda curious about where you got your skills from," Contessa said.
"Nothing to tell really," the globetrotter said. "My parents film documentaries for a living, and everywhere they go, I go. Betwen seeing so much of the world and the occasional stupid mistake on my part, I learned a lot."
"Wow, that's actually kinda cool," the idealist said.
"Thanks Angel. But with me spending so much time abroad. I never really spent anytime here in Canada for more than a week or two at a time. That's why I signed up for the show."
"I did it so I could win the money to launch my rap career yo," Gary said.
"I thought it'd be a nice way to spend time with my sister," Angel said with a hint of sadness.
"I was trying to escape a crazy ex," Contessa explained. "She didn't handle our breakup well."
"Just plain greed," Matthew shared.
"What about you Nat?" No answer. "Nat?" He looked to see the silent boy hunched over in sleep. "I guess that's our cue to catch some Z's"
"It is getting late," Britney agreed. "I don't think Chris is coming for us tonight."
"In that case," Matthew said. "I'm getting some sleep. See you all in the morning."

A can was thrown into the house. A gas filled the room. Chef grabbed each of the campers and dragged them out one by one.

(GIRL'S CABIN)
Britney woke up in her bunk in the cabin. "Never thought I'd say this, but I'm really tired of being kidnapped."
"Good Morning campers!" Chris said over the loudspeaker. "I hope you enjoyed yesterday. I know I did. Now it's time to get your butts to the elimination ceremony and remember. Everyone's up for votes this time."
Contessa groaned. "I'll meet you guys there." Angel and Britney left the cabin. Contessa saw a note with her name on it and read it. "Aw man, seriously?"
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(ELIMINATION CEREMONY)
"Welcome Final Six. Time to see who make the Final Five. You know the deal, get a marshmallow and avoid the Trebu-Shame. First one goes to... Angel."
"Natasha."
"Contessa, aaaand Matthew. We're down to the final marshmallow. Britney, you're the last powerhouse in the game. And Gary, you're really annoying. But the final member of the Final Five. Is. Not... Britney! Gary's safe, and Britney's out." The rapper sighed in relief.
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
(TREBUSHAME)
"So Brit," Chirs asked the eliminated girl. "Any last words?"
"I can't think of any THIIIIIIIIIIINNNNNNNNGGGGGGGGGGGGGG!" She screamed as she was flung into the night.
"I'm really gonna miss that when the season's over. Who will be the next loser flung from a trebuchet? Find out next time on Total! Drama! Danger Island!
XXXX
CONFESSIONAL
CONTESSA - "That is it. I refuse to be Natasha's lackey any longer. Next time, he leaves."
MATTHEW - "So Natasha can play people without even speaking. Looks like he'll be the next loser I get rid of."
NATASHA - "I've always known Matthew was untrustworthy. But I also know he suspects the true depth of my abilities. As such, he must go home. And with two votes on my side, I know he will."
XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX
Author's Note Post Script: And thus ends Britney's chance at the million. She was the last powerhouse left in the game and had to go. Easy to arrange with two villains. But now Matthew and Natasha are partially aware of the other, the Final Five is gonna be good.
Fun Fact: Britney was supposed to have a love interest, but I couldn't swing it with a small cast or short season.
