Total Drama Viewers Decide – A New Beginning Chapter 9:
This episode of Total Drama contains scenes of extreme stunts performed by animated teens. Do not try ANY of what you see here at home. Seriously, you could get really messed up.
Chris stands at the camera, with the members of the Gaffers in the front row of the seats (Shawn, Cody, Sierra, Eva and Scarlett) "Last time on Total Drama Viewers Decide – A New Beginning," Chris beams "Amy got sent home, which sort of sucked due to her causing some Drama, but anyways. We decided to ironically use the challenge she got eliminated in as the official challenge. Eventually, the Gaffers ended up losing and Max of all people won the challenge for his team, however, one of the Gaffers will be sent home this episode... Will it be Dakota, who has basically no intelligence and was a massive target in the challenge? Will it be Cody, who put on a pitiful display in the challenge?"
"Hey! I'm allergic to Wolf Spiders and you know that!"
"Yeah, anyways, or will it be Scarlett, who managed to manipulate Max, but Rodney still took you out nonetheless. Well anyways, Gwen, Trent, Sam, Sierra, Shawn and Eva are all safe. That just leaves our bottom 3, Cody, Scarlett and Dakota.
Confessional:
Dakota is standing right outside the confessional due to her height as a camera focuses on her, "Me no care that much, me change back anyway, so me fine. Me still like being in show though" She shrugs.
"Really? I got votes! What the heck! It was an allergy!" Cody states, annoyed.
"So I'm in the bottom 3? Okay... I'm almost certain to stay though, I'm probably guessing Cody's gone, Dakota is a much stronger team member and I make up for the bits of brains he has."
Confessionals End:
"Alright, so the next camper safe is - Dakota."
"Yes!" Sam exclaims "Thanks guys!"
"Me Happy!" Dakota leaps up, which shakes the ground and Chris to fall over.
"Ow! Ugh, okay, so we are down to our bottom 2, Cody and Scarlett, only one of you will make it past this elimination and Scarlett..." Cody and Sierra both gasp while Scarlett smirks.

"You are out, Cody; you are the final one safe."
"Dude! Don't scare me like that!" Cody comments while Scarlett looks annoyed. Chris notices this and walks towards her, smirking before saying.
"If it makes you feel any better, literally nobody else got a vote; that's why I didn't say how many votes you guys got, so you get the first unanimous vote of the season." This unsurprisingly does not make Scarlett feel better, and it makes her look even more annoyed.
"I would have got us out of last place last episode if that stupid lovesick farmer didn't notice me, speaking of which, didn't he have a crush on me last season?"
"Yeah, what's up with that?" Sierra comments suddenly, before suddenly realising "oh, sorry, I'll be quiet now..."
"Honestly, I expected to stay in for a little while longer, my strategy was simple and could make me float far, but I guess the audience must have been scared of me doing what I did on Pakithew..."
"Speaking of what you did on Pakithew, you haven't finished serving your sentence, so when I saw the votes, I managed to get a few of the good friends you made in prison." Suddenly, a helicopter lands and several armed guards land which shocks all the campers there except Scarlett herself.
"Yeah, yeah, let's just get this over with." She says before getting on the ground with her hands behind her back.
"Thank you for letting us know about her elimination Mr McLean." A random soldier says to him.
"No worries, scum like her deserve to be locked away." Chris smirks.
Confessional:
Gwen sits there, thoroughly annoyed "Oh the irony..." She then quickly says "I know he already went to prison, but still..."
Confessionals End:
As Scarlett is dragged into the helicopter, Chris sighs and says "I wish I could send someone off though... Maybe one of the interns... Na, that's a bit boring."
Another, larger, non military helicopter lands on the ground with a different set of people walking out.
"Huh?" What's this?" Chris confusedly says.
"Dakota's temporarily leaving this episode; she will probably be back for the end of the episode. She says she wants to change back to normal..."
"What? I didn't hear about that?"
"It's true, she told me in the forest last episode." Sam brings up.
Chris sighs before saying "Fine..." Before muttering incoherently.
"Can I go as well?" Sam asks to Chris.
"No..." Chris quickly follows up with, which causes Sam to sigh and comment with a pinch of sadness and regret
"Well, bye Dakota!" Sam waves to his girlfriend; the helicopter then closes its door and then flies away
"Alright campers, you 8 are all safe... For now... Get some sleep and try harder next time."
The Gaffers, minus Sam, Sierra and Cody have made it back inside the cabins, however Cody and Sierra are chatting outside them.
"Ironic that one of the smarter contestants got eliminated just before the meaning of life..." Sierra chuckles.
"Yeah!" Cody replies.
Confessional:
Sierra sits there happily, "Okay, so Cody and I agreed to start over with our friendship after the stuff I told him a few episodes ago, honestly, I'm really happy! He's probably never going to love me, which is sad, but at least we can be friends."
Cody is looking at the camera with a smile, "Sierra's actually pretty cool when she isn't obsessively stalking me... I got a peek of it during World Tour's last couple episodes, but she's starting to let out another side of herself with our conversations."
Confessionals End:
Sam walks up the stairs, looking glum, which Sierra quickly notices and says "Give me a sec alright?"
"Alright," Cody comments as Sierra walks over to the solemn Gamer. Sierra taps Sam on the shoulder and says.
"Hey Sam, what's up?"
"Oh, uh hey Sierra," He says sadly "I really wish I could go with Dakota at the ceremony."
"Do you want to chat with me and Cody?"
"No thanks, I don't really want to talk to anyone right now." Sam commented before he entered the cabin and closes the door.
Confessional:
"I wasn't able to talk to Sam that much during All Stars because of well, you saw how I acted." Sierra scratches the back of her neck, embarrassed, "But I feel like I can make up for that," she confidently ends with.
Confessionals End:
"So... that worked..." Cody commented.
"He looks really upset; I want to make him feel better." Sierra responds.
"Yeah, and that's really great of you, but maybe we should give him a bit of space until the challenge." Cody says to her.
"Alright," Sierra thinks for a minute before saying "So should we go to bed now?"
"Yeah, it's pretty late, See you tomorrow." Cody replies as they go to their cabins.
The next day in the Spa Hotel, Rodney wakes up and sits up while rubbing his head.
Confessional:
"My head still feels fuzzy after I was hit by the balloon yesterday, though that, mixed with a good night sleep made me realise something, I've looked at Amy, Sammy, Jasmine and Scarlett since the competition started, and well, I didn't fall in love with them again..." Rodney takes a deep breath, "So... I can get advice from one of them. I wasn't really in love with Sammy, mainly Amy who is both out, and a jerk so it's ether Scarlett, who I'm definitely going to say no to, or Jasmine, who is probably my best bet to be honest."
Confessional Ends:
Bridgette wakes up, and rolls over to the digital clock next to her bed, as it shows 7:00, and while she does a quick stretch, she remembers what she and Katie discussed last night, and sighs, before muttering
"Alright then, let's go..." She gets up and starts to walk towards the door, before suddenly Max opens the door, hitting Bridgette with it, before gloating.
"MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! I won the challenge! YOU SHALL ALL SERVE ME!"
"Ow... Max... that hurt!" Bridgette complained.
"Quiet minion number 11," Max yells which makes Bridgette sigh before walking back out. He then turns to Katie before saying
"Minion numbers 14, carry me!" Max demands before falling over on the ground. Katie then proceeds to walk around him.
Confessional:
"It doesn't make sense, I won the challenge for my team, and the most I got were a few thank-yous!" He then looks stressed before saying "People were supposed to serve me!"
Confessionals End:
Harold, Cameron and B have met up to discuss the findings last episode.
"So... Are we going to confront Chris about this?" Harold asked the other two, which causes B to shake his head and type something on his text to speech system
'[1] no, we need to let the other campers know first,'
"Yeah, I agree with B," Cameron nods "If we tell him we know he could make our game life horrible or automatically eliminate us or something like that..."
"Good point... Speaking of which... Where's Sam? He saw it with us..." Harold says to the other two."
"He might have been sent home, his team lost overall." Cameron responds.
"I hope he's still in," Harold says. To which the other two nod. He then realises something, "How about we make a pact to help each other when merge hits? The four of us and LeShawna."
"Can we also put Mike, Zoey and Dakota as a part of that deal? For Sam and I, assuming Sam's still in of cause," Cameron states. B types something on his computer.
'Dawn and Beardo too, they're cool as well.'
"Oh, an uh," Harold quickly counts the people on his hands "10 Person deal!?"
"Yeah, with the amount of people in our alliance at merge, it should be easy to win the challenges." Cameron brings up.
"Alright…" Harold slowly decided, "We have to convince them to join the alliance though."
"All of us are friends, we can talk with them," Cameron responded, which makes B and Harold nod their heads.
Confessional:
Cameron is sitting there, thinking "Alliances work differently here, with the viewers deciding who goes home and all, so Alliances in this season would probably just try to have at least one of their members win immunity... It's not as good as other seasons, but it isn't awful, if we create a big alliance, one of us might have a chance at winning!"
"I'm not one hundred per cent sure on this alliance," Harold starts "but I'm still going to go with it, 10 people in an alliance seems a bit risky, especially in a season where the viewers vote us off, but I'm going to take that risk," he nods his head
Confessional Ends:
Over with Team Maskwak, Dave, Noah and Owen are sitting at a bench and talking about random things revolving around the game, until Noah asks
"What's your beef with that gymnast girl?" He stops for a second before saying "Sky isn't it?"
"Yes... That is her name..." He responds, annoyed "and I don't really want to talk about it..."
"O-kay then..." Noah answers, raising his eyebrow, Dave then says
"Are you with anyone?" To which Noah responds with,
"Yeah, her name's Emma, she great," He sighs happily before saying "We met on that Ridonculous Race show's 1st season a couple years ago. Neither of us won, but we're still going strong to this day."
Confessional:
"I still love Emma... and if anyone wants to know, she's doing really well in law school, it's her last year actually, she decided to have an extra year in the school to help her that little bit more. She's already eyeing a law firm in Toronto. We even competed on a few reality TV competitions together when she was on her holidays with Owen and Kitty."
Confessionals End:
"Yeah, I'm gonna go now," Dave then gets up and walks away, visibly annoyed, Owen looks at the scene before finally saying,
"O-kay then. He's still touchy at whatever happened."
"Meh, then we don't bring it up to him." Noah responds
Confessional:
"There are more reasons I'm mad at Sky than just," He rolls his eyes and makes air quotes while saying "Keith... But I'm going to get into that later, and I know where to say it, but hey... it's a secret," He smiles, determined.
Confessionals End:
Dave walks over and sits across from Sammy, before talking.
"So... How was your sleep?" Sammy stops looking into space and smiles at Dave before saying
"Yeah, it was fine... It just feels a bit weird that I don't have to compete with or pretend to be my sister. It felt really cathartic when I yelled at her at the elimination ceremony
"Oh yeah, it must be great to yell at someone who deserved it," Dave comments, strangely friendly.
Sammy smiles back at Dave, before saying "Yeah…" absent minded
Confessional:
"After Pakithew, the only people who actually reached out to me and tried to help were Shawn, Jasmine, Sammy and Ella. Ella's also been a really good friend and I've even warmed up to her singing a little," He then comments "Not that much though," before continuing, "but she's on a different team and I haven't even been able to interact with any of them aside from Sammy really, not even Shawn."
Confessional Ends:
Suddenly, an all too familiar voice rings over the loudspeaker, calling out "Challenge time! Everyone Meet me at the beach in 20 minutes! You will NOT need your swimsuits however!"
Dave and Sammy shrug before they both get up and walk towards the beach. The scene then changes to the teams walking towards the beach, with Team Victory in front of the Killer Bass, Rodney is at the front of the Bass and Jasmine is at the end of Team Victory. Rodney realises his chance and taps Jasmine on the shoulder, she turns around and sees him looking awkward and she sighs.
Confessional:
"Alright… so I rewatched the last season specifically, not any of the other seasons though, and saw Rodney's obvious crush on me… So, I'm going to turn him down extremely nicely."
Confessional ends:
"Listen… I'm sorry, but I don't really want to be in a relationship with you…" Jasmine says, calmly, "I'm with Shawn remember?"
"I know, I'm not asking to be in a relationship with you…" That comment makes Jasmine's eyes go wide with shock.
"Wait... really?" Jasmine replies, Rodney nods and then gestures to a group of trees, to which Jasmine walks over.
"Okay... So you've seen reruns of Pakithew Island judging by your reaction."
"Yeah... what's wrong?" Jasmine responds apprehensively,
"Well... I need advice, I want one specific person to fall in love with, rather than falling in love with every girl I see... The only girls I haven't fallen in love with are Sugar and my female family members."
"Okay… so what's the matter?"
"Well, I need help. I don't want to fall in love with absolutely every girl I see. I kind of just want to find one girl. Weirdly I haven't fallen back in love with you three, no offence. And since you are the only one of my three crushes from Pakithew that is still in, judging by the fact that I can't see Scarlett with the Gaffers, and you are the sanest one of the three, I decided to ask you for help. Can you please help me?"
Jasmine starts thinking as she looks at Rodney and sees a pitiful look in his eyes. Jasmine sighs "Alright fine… I'll give you advice, but you're sure you aren't just going to fall back in love with me?"
"I'm sure I won't," Rodney nods, with a determined look in his eyes.
"We'll meet up after the challenge and you will tell me the girls you've fallen in love with so far this season." Jasmine reaffirms.
"Alright then," Rodney responds as he and Jasmine walk off towards the beach.
At the challenge site, the teams look to see a pentagon shape around them, with arrows pointing each team towards each team's location, the two closest ones are the Killer Bass and Team Victory, with the Toxic Rats and Team Maskwak next to them and the Gaffers at the other side. The Gaffers start their long trek around.
Max walks up the stairs to the team's section as DJ says "Hey isn't one of us missing?"
"Yes," Max then looks over everyone, "its minion number 51!" which earns confused looks from the people around him. Geoff then looks at the people there and notices the missing competitor.
"It's the farm dude, isn't his name Rodney?" Just at that moment, Rodney runs in.
"Sorry I'm late guys!" Rodney runs up the stairs
"What took you so long minion number 51?"
Confessional:
"I've come up with a new numbering system for my minions, [2] and it is devilishly EEEEEEVIL! MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA!"
Confessional Ends:
As Jasmine walks into the Team Victory area, the doors close and Chris's voice booms over the loudspeaker in each room. "Welcome to your next challenge campers! This challenge is the 3D sand puzzle from our All Star season. My new manager has told me that Mal was caused by a bout of cheating in this challenge," It then cuts to Mike, who looks at the ground, embarrassed. "So this challenge specifically will have an anti cheating measure. Once the challenge starts, you will be able to look into the other team's progress, however, we have massive glass walls blocking each team, and if you break it down on purpose, then your team is disqualified. Chris then realises something before saying "Oh yeah, one more thing..." before pressing a button he has on him which causes the moats around each platform to appear.
Chris continues "Old rules still apply, there are 7 pieces based on locations we have visited in our World Tour, two of you will be reusing the ones from the original episode, but I won't tell which teams they are, even if I could if I wanted to. A couple of these puzzles might not have been straight up visited, but they are major locations in countries we visited. Finally, every team except the Gaffers get shovels, due to them losing last challenge." Chris sits back on a chair and calls out "3! 2! 1! START!"
As everyone starts digging, Brick says to his team "First of all," before he turns to Lightning "Will you actually do alright in the challenge? Or will this be a repeat of the original episode?"
"Na dude, Lightning's actually focused this time! Lightning's actually eaten!" was the response.
"Alright then..." Brick sighs before he and Lightning jump down with the shovels.
As we cut to each team, panning across every camper, we see several campers digging while other campers are delegating, Brick for the Bass, Jasmine for Team Victory, Shawn trying for the Gaffer's and Noah for Team Maskwak. However, there is trouble brewing over with the Toxic Rats.
"Okay team do what the hamsters did in the actual episode," Heather and Jo both called at the same time. "I'm the captain this time around!" They both call out, before they both look at each other annoyed.
"Do we want to lose again?" Jo demands to Heather.
"No, which is why I should be captain!" was the response.
"Stop fighting and start digging!" LeShawna yelled out, startling the other two.
"You do know that is one of the main reasons why you lost the challenge last time?" Zoey pokes her head out of the hole she is digging to say to the two girls. There is a several second silence before the quarrelling girls go.
"Fine," before both of them grab a shovel and start digging.
Confessional:
"I mean, yes, Lightning did screw up, but they should have dug instead of fight, they had more team members AND shovels." Zoey then shrugs "But I think we're going to do well, most of us already did the challenge."
Confessional Ends:
Zoey and Mike are digging a hole, however Mike's going slightly faster, however not at the speeds Manitoba Smith once would.
In Confessional:
"The weird thing is, over these last couple years, I'm slowly losing the abilities of my old alts, they're my only remaining connection to them…" Mike then looks down, sadly, before continuing, "For example, I was basically a human metal detector for a while with Manitoba's abilities, I mean, I didn't need it, Zoey and I were already rich from All Stars, but still… It's gotten a lot weaker though." Mike sighs.
Confessional Ends:
"Y'know, I wish we found another way," Mike says to Zoey
"Huh? What's wrong?"
"Sorry Zoey, I'm just thinking out loud. I just wish the Alts and I had found another way to beat Mal."
"Mike… Remember a week ago when you told me about Chester talking with you in your head?" Zoey asks
"Yeah? Why?"
"Well that could mean that the others are back, you even told me that." Zoey softly states to her boyfriend.
"Yeah, I'm probably just feeling sad and all that because of this being the challenge Mal was released, I dunno."
We then cut to a panning image, going across everyone in Team Victory digging, until Lindsay's shovel hits something. "Everyone! I think I found a piece!" she yells, however suddenly the item starts ticking, "Wait..." She then realises, and as her eyes go wide, the bomb goes off sending Lindsay flying out of the hole screaming before falling into the moat, where the crabs start attacking her and she climbs out. Jasmine looks on in sadness.
"Poor girl," the Aussie states as she hits something else. Luckily for her, it's actually a piece of their puzzle, which makes her call out "found one!" she climbs out and throws it onto the platform, revealing it to be a flat piece, most likely the bottom portion of the puzzle.
"Good, that's our first piece, and by the looks of things, the others don't have anything yet!" Beardo excited states to her
"Yeah! We're in the lead!" Jasmine fist bumps, getting even more excited when Dawn yells out, "B's found another piece!" as B pulls another piece out from the hole he is digging. Anne Maria then pops her head out of her hole, annoyed before saying.
"Hey, can't you use that weird magic power you have?"
"No, it doesn't work like that..." Dawn sighs "I'll be glad to explain how it works after the challenge though," she then adds on.
"Yeah, nah." The Jersey Shore Reject replies, before she starts digging again and we swap over to the Gaffers, digging with their hands, and we see Sam standing there, trying, but not putting his all into it. Sierra and Cody notice this and walk over to the gamer, striking up a conversation.
"Hey Sam, how's it going?" Cody asks.
"Oh, uh, hi Cody, hi Sierra," a quiet Sam asks.
"Sam, you can talk to us if you want to, we'll be friends if you want." Sierra sympathetically says.
"Thanks…" Sam comments as they all dig near each other.
"Look Sam, if you want to talk to us about Dakota, then we will listen.
"Maybe in a bit, but not right now…" Sam states, melancholy. All three continue digging. Then, over with Shawn, he ends up hitting a piece of the puzzle.
"Guys! I have a piece!"
Confessional:
"This massive glass dome will protect me from zombies… Unless the infection's in the air or it's already spread. Both are less likely, but still have a chance so I wasn't as worried in this challenge as I was in others. I still am worried though."
Confessional Ends
Shawn climbs up easily with his piece, which appears to be a torch of some kind, and throws it to Eva who puts it up on the platform, as we see Team Maskwak digging with Blaineley looking into the Gaffer's area, before pondering
Confessional:
"So Shawn's that idiot that's scared of zombies," Blaineley comments. "So if I somehow find ways to look like a zombie to him, then I can get him out of the way, the Gaffers can lose again."
Confessional Ends
Shawn walks over towards the dome and continues digging, before he looks up for a split second and sees something that makes his blood run cold. He looks back up, and sees Blaineley, walking over to the glass, arms stretched out, with half opened eyes, while groaning (even if Shawn couldn't hear it). Shawn mouth drops open and his eyes go wide, his eye twitches as he yells "AGHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! ZOMBIE!" Which gains all the Gaffer's attention, before he runs across the sand and leaps onto the platform, grabbing the torch-like object and waving it, to attack anybody going after him.
Everyone looks over to where Shawn was to see Blaineley doubled over, laughing at the conspiracy theorists fear, which earns several glares from the other campers. Blaineley's laughing is stopped when a hand suddenly comes down and slaps the lady, as we see Sammy standing there, incredibly annoyed
Confessional:
"What Blaineley did reminded me of all the crap Amy's pulled in my life," Sammy says annoyed, before continuing sympathetically "and anyways, that was just cruel to Shawn."
Confessional Ends:
It then swaps to the Killer Bass, digging, when Bridgette walks over to Geoff, shovel in hand before saying
"Hey Geoff! How's it going?" Geoff looks up and smiles to his girlfriend, before happily commenting
"Hey Bridge, I'm doing fine, how 'bout you?"
"Yeah, I'm good, how about we dig together? There's probably a piece down here." Geoff smiles and says
"Sure!" Both start digging before suddenly, another explosion happens. However, instead of a regular bomb, it's something much worse. A stink bomb, possibly from a skunk, both lovers recoil from the shock and then smell the air around them and recoil
Confessional:
"COME ON!" Geoff yells. "This was the perfect moment to start talking with her again." He then pulls his hat over his eyes in annoyance [3]
Confessional Ends:
Geoff and Bridgette climb out of the hole in disgust before Lightning pokes his head down and spots a piece right below the stink bomb.
"SHA LIGHTNING HAS FOUND ONE!" However, Rodney disturbs a Wasp's nest that had been hidden and ducks, making the wasps buzz over and attack the Uber Jock, making him run away screaming. Before Max runs over and sees the hole with the piece and says
"MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! The EEEEEEVIL overlord has found a piece, bow before me! However, everyone ignores him. He frowns and walks over to DJ before saying
"M-minion number 2, why aren't you bowing before me?"
DJ sighs and says to him, "Look, I have nothing against you and I'm trying to be as nice as possible, but you're annoying. Also, we need to do the challenge." [4]
"F-fine," Max stutters before he runs away. It then cuts back to Team Victory. In the meantime, they have gotten up to 5 pieces, and Ella had just pulled up a 6th piece, handing it to Jasmine who threw it to the platform.
"Alright guys, just one more piece, we're doing grea-"Jasmine starts before she is interrupted,
"Got it!" it focuses on Beardo, holding the piece up,
"Great Job! Alright guys, we're almost there, come up here and help me put the pieces together. Jasmine, Dawn, B and Beardo Anne Maria are seen running and jumping up. Anne Maria runs over, but accidently sets off a landmine trap which goes off and sends her flying, however she ends up fine because she lands on her hair. The group on the platform, now joined by Lindsay and Beth, start looking at the pieces and thinking about the combinations, before Jasmine looks and tilts her head, before muttering.
"They wouldn't… would they?" She then says "Give me a sec guys. She then gets to work and starts putting the pieces together. She eventually makes a massive rock with the seven pieces. Everyone looks on before B realises and nudges Dawn who realises what it is
"Isn't that Uluru from Australia?" This earns a confused look from a dimwitted princess
"What's that?" Lindsay asks
"You might know it as Ayres Rock." Dawn responds
"Ahhh," Lindsay realises.
"One team has a complete puzzle, but they have to get their entire team up to the top of the platform." Chris announces over the loudspeaker.
"Everyone, quickly!" Jasmine yells as Ella runs over and B helps her on the platform. Izzy runs over and leaps up and lands.
"Anne Maria! Hurry up!" several members of Team Victory call out (Jasmine, Ella, Beardo and Beth).
"Eh, we have time; the other teams barely have any pieces." Anne Maria responds as she shrugs and walks along slowly.
Jasmine turns to Beardo and whispers "Good job on talking more by the way." Which makes Beardo smile.
Confessional:
Beardo sits smiling at the camera, "I've been more comfortable around my team, so I've been talking with them more often. I should also start talking to other people outside of my team though, that'll be hard... But I'll try it."
Confessional Ends:
Anne Maria gets over to the platform and Beardo and Beth help her up. Chris looks at team Victory and smirks before announcing
"And Team Victory wins the challenge and a stay at the spa hotel… That was really quick… y'know what, just wait at the campfire pit, Chef will let you know when it's ready"
Confessional:
"The only thing I wanna know," Jasmine asks "Is why did Chris pick the Australian location, for the team with the Australian girl?" She looks on with a face of confusion.
"We dug all the pieces a couple episodes ago and the teams got sent in based on last episode's performance…" Chris explains… "No problem with being prepared."
Confessional Ends:
Over with Team Maskwak, Owen is digging when he digs up a boxing glove which punches him in the stomach. However, he does not feel a thing and laughs it off, a thud is then heard, as Owen pokes his head out and sees Noah crumpled up on the ground, groaning. Owen quickly gets up and carries him to the platform and puts it on before saying
"Here buddy, rest a little."
"Ok…" was the weak response. Owen turns around and sees a boxing glove out from the pit, which makes Owen say.
"Oooh, that's what happened." Before he goes a small distance away from Noah, and starts digging from there so he can watch him.
"I've got one!" Sammy calls out, before Blaineley goes to grab it.
"It's mine!" Blaineley yells.
"You haven't even dug yet." Sammy indignantly yells.
"Fine..." Blaineley then puts her shovel on the sand and shovels one bit of sand before saying "There, I'm done... Let me take the piece up now." Blaineley turns to see Sammy pulling the piece across the ground. To which Blaineley responds with "How did I fall for that!?" before going after the Good Twin as she throws that part of the puzzle onto the platform.
Confessional:
"Okay, seriously, Blaineley's actually starting to annoy me a lot... She's literally, an older Amy... Like, seriously?" Sammy complains. "I've grown to defend myself a lot over these last couple years, but it still makes me really mad when I've got New Amy's to deal with.
Confessionals End:
Lightning is now digging, but he looks around and sees Max digging slowly and says.
"Alright little dude let Lightning borrow this for a sec!" Before he digs down and throws out 2 pieces. "Sweet that I found 2 Puzzle thingies, SHA BAM!" As Lightning says Bam, a spring platform shoots up and sends him onto sand, making him do the ostrich. Rodney goes to pull Lightning out of the ground while Max and DJ take the pieces up.
Over with the Rats, Heather and Jo are both digging but taking periodic moments to complain to each other.
"We'd be done much faster if you just MADE ME THE LEADER!" Heather yelled as Jo yelled back.
"Right back at you, Old Heather." LeShawna keeps digging, but she looks mad and is shooting daggers at the two quarrelling girls.
Confessional:
"Oh, I am this close to snappin' at them. Heather's not been that annoying this season, and she's probably been trying to lay low or something. But this challenge she's been horrible!"
Confessional:
"Found one!" Harold calls out, "Can someone help me?" To which LeShawna runs over and says,
"Sure thing short stuff!" Before she jumps down and helps Harold to get the piece out, throwing it onto the platform.
"Alright, that's 3 pieces!" Zoey comments, which earns at the very least smaller frowns, more about the amount of pieces rather than Zoey's comment.
Alejandro is digging, before he hits a trap, which releases a large group of crabs, which swarm him, snapping at the Spaniard, making him run off before falling over as several snap at his legs, knocking it over.
Confessional:
"Not again! Me estás tomando el pelo?" [5] Alejandro complains to the camera, with bruises all over him on him, before he face palms.
Confessional Ends
Heather looks over at Alejandro and laughs
"You never told us what happened between you and Al after All Stars," Cameron asks.
"Shut up pointdexter!" Heather snaps.
Meanwhile, with Team Victory, Dawn and Beardo are sitting at the campfire pit before B taps them on the shoulder and points back with his thumb towards a corner that nobody is standing at. The trio walk over and grabs his laptop out, writing on it
'A group of us are forming an Alliance for after the merge; do you two want to join?'
"How many people?" Beardo asks
'If everyone joins, then 10, but if it's just you two, then 6."
"Who's in the alliance?" Beardo continues
'Sam, Harold, Cameron and I are definite. And we're going to ask You two, Dakota, Mike, Zoey and LeShawna.'
"Why that group of campers?" Dawn asked to the silent genius.
'We'll tell you later' he types, looking at the other members of Team Victory. Dawn closes her eyes for 5 seconds before opening them.
"From reading your aura, I can sense that this is in no way malicious. Not that I didn't believe that you would be malicious in the first place. So I shall join this alliance," Dawn then smiles as they look over at Beardo, who thinks for a moment, before saying
"Alright, I'm in..." Before he makes a quiet digging bell sound effect. "To this new alliance?" He then puts his hand in. B shrugs and puts his hand in. Dawn smiles and puts her hand in, before they lift their hands up in excitement.
Chris sits at the camera and says, "Alright, this is going on for too long," before he turns to Chef and says "montage?"
"Yeah, why not?"
So the montage begins, and we see Heather find a piece for the rats. Then we see Owen, Dave, Sky and Tyler find pieces for team Maskwak, even if Tyler gets hit by a mine. Killer Bass get 4 pieces courtesy of Katie, Brick, Rodney and DJ. The gaffers finally get 3 pieces from Sierra, Eva and Gwen. The montage ends when a voice calls out
"Got one!" The voice is from Topher, who pulls it towards the platform as Noah gets up and looks at the current 5 pieces. As he looks on, he sees an easy pattern with the pieces; the first 3 pieces can fit on top of each other. He then looks over to the piece Topher is bringing over and sees that it fits perfectly between the 3 pieces already put together, and 2 smaller pieces that fit. He then realises
"Guys! This is one of the Pyramids from Egypt! We only need 1 more after Topher brings this up, and it's the top one."
Over with the Gaffers, Sam, Cody and Sierra are digging when Sierra says to the gamer
"Sam, do you want to tell us what's up?"
"Alright, fine..." Sam says. "I just feel worried for Dakota, I hope she'll be fine, I'm worried it'll hurt with whatever they do to her. It's just the stress of me worrying about her. She doesn't want to be a mutant, and I'm fine with that, but if she's hurt, then it'll be horrifying that I won't even be there to comfort her." He explains, which makes Cody and Sierra look at each other before Cody says
"Dude, you don't need to worry about her, she'll be fine. She would probably want you to continue through the game. If we lose, she could be sent home. And wouldn't that be unfair, she wasn't even in the challenge. We need to win for her."
"I guess... Okay... Let's do this," Sam states with newfound determination in his eyes, before he digs extremely fast, before he says "Got one!" Cody whispers to Sierra.
"How'd that work so fast?"
"Love is a very powerful thing." Sierra whispers back. Sam pulls the piece up and drags it over to the platform before putting it on
Confessional:
"I'm not trying to manipulate Sam or anything," Cody starts, "But if we lose it is probably him or Dakota going. I feel sorry for Sam, I feel sympathy for what he's saying, but yeah." He sits there awkwardly at the camera.
Confessional Ends:
Cody looks over at the pieces of the puzzle and makes a small smirk before he says "Guys! We have the stature of liberty."
"We haven't even put it back together, what makes you so sure?" Sierra asks.
"You know why..." Cody smirks to Sierra
"No I don't think s-oooh." Sierra responds. [6] "Yeah guys, Cody's telling the truth.
The footage then cuts back to Team Maskwak, who has just found their last piece, courtesy of Sammy, who hands it to Noah, who puts it on the top and ushers everyone over, to which they all oblige, even Blaineley, who climbs up last as Chris calls out "Team Maskwak comes 2nd place. The Battle for not last continues! You may go to your cabin now." This makes the 8 team members walk out towards the cabins.
It then cuts to the Bass who have just found their second last piece because of Lightning. Katie and Brick look onto the pieces while wondering what it could be. Several of the pieces could fit on others and Lightning quickly runs over with his piece, which happens to be a clock
"Wait... a clock?" Katie states before seeing the pieces and realising, "Is this Big Ben!?"
"I think so!" Brick replies, after he turns to his team and says "Alright, Katie and I will build this, bring the last piece up as soon as you find it." Both get up and start building the clock.
The scene swaps to the Rats, who got a 5th piece from Alejandro, and as he is taking it up, he looks over and sees the pieces, before he turns around and states
"Eifel Tower everyone, let's go!" He climbs up and starts to build some of it
"We should probably get a few more people to help Al out." Mike says
"Let's go then," Zoey states to her boyfriend as they run up to help out. The three campers then start the building process.
Jo looks over to the Gaffers who has Eva carrying one of the remaining two pieces before she yells
"Everyone! Hurry up!"
"We're going as fast as we can!" Heather yells.
"Then go faster!" Jo replies
"That literally makes no sense!" Cameron yells
Over with the Bass, Max yells out "I have the last one minion's!" So Lightning and DJ come over to help him, they make it up and put it on the platform.
"Perfect!" Katie yells "Alright, let's just put that piece there, and it's done, YES!" she yells before she high fives Brick and beacons everyone up, to which they all run up, except for one.
"Why aren't you all praising me?" Max asks "I helped us to do well in the last two challenges, so why are you not serving me? Minion number 14?"
"Alright uh... master, why don't you come up and help us to finish the challenge so you don't go home," she makes sure to emphasise the you. Lightning and Brick chat at the back of the platform.
"Dude, good job on the challenge."
"Well, I wouldn't quite say it was all me," he says while smiling to the Athletic Overachiever.
"Yeah, skinny girl was much better," He smirks.
"Yes... Yes she was." He smiles back, distantly.
Confessional:
"So... does Army dude have a crush on skinny girl or something?" He confusedly states.
"I feel like I am extremely good friends with Katie," Brick explains, "Katie is such a sweet girl, and I feel as if we have been hitting it off as good friends for a while."
Confessional Ends:
"Fine, I shall climb up," Max states "But only for my position in the game, MWUHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHA!" He then climbs up, making Chris call out over the loudspeaker
"The Killer Bass have come in 3rd place! It is now down to ether the Screaming Gaffers or the Toxic Rats to decide who goes to elimination.
Shawn and Jo both look at each other with determination in their eyes, before Jo grabs her shovel and Shawn cracks his hands and they start digging as if their lives depended on it. Both go furiously, until a rock is hit.
"I have the head!" Shawn yells as he starts running over, with the other Gaffers running up as well. This happens right as Jo finds the last piece for the rats. She throws the piece to Courtney as everyone runs. Jo grabs Cameron who is lagging behind and ran. The screen spits, showing Jo with Cameron on the top, and Shawn with the head at the bottom.
Shawn makes it up and hands the head to Sierra as Courtney hands the Rat's to Alejandro.

Sierra is able to put the piece on and Shawn climbs up before Jo and Cameron make it over.
"The Gaffers come 4th!" Chris yells "I'll see the Rat's at elimination later tonight."

Cameron sighs as he sits down in disappointment
"Hey, don't expect to be around for much longer after that pitiful performance string bean." Jo angrily yells. Jo leaves angrily followed by Courtney, Alejandro and Heather
"Don't worry Cam, you weren't that bad" Harold comforts Cameron, who grimaces
After the challenge, Geoff and Bridgette are relaxing, having finally at least lowered the amount of stink from the stink bombs. Geoff turns to Bridgette and says
"Hey Bridge, uh, I just want to say... I'm sorry for going a bit distant for a while... I hope you can forgive me and we can move on and stay together." Bridgette smiles and says
"Yeah, obviously I'll forgive you," Bridgette says, "I don't want to ever break up with you," she continues, "but I just want to know, why were you distant with me in the first place?"
"I-uh... well, no reason."
Confessional:
"I'm not ready yet okay?" Geoff says before he bites his lip. "I don't know when I will be, but I will be ready at some point, okay?"
Confessional Ends:
"Alright then, look, lets kiss and act like this thing never happened."
"Okay," Geoff states before they embrace and kiss passionately.
"We should do this more often." Bridgette says to Geoff.
"Yeah..." Was the response. They finish their kiss and Bridgette turns around and they walk back to the cabins
The scene then swaps to a group of trees at a clearing, where Rodney is sitting down, as Jasmine walks in
"Hey Rodney, what place did you guys come?"
"We finished 3rd, better than last I guess," he then chuckles
"Anyway, do you know who you've had a crush on so far?"
"Yeah, I fell in love with Sadie in the first episode... hmm," he thinks, after that then there was Bridgette, then Dawn. I haven't been able to interact with anyone else at this point so far, so I'm alright with the rest."
"Okay... Have there been any girls that you interacted with that you haven't had a crush on yet aside from Sugar?" Jasmine continues.
"No, Sugar was the only one I didn't fall for, but she's long gone, I doubt she'll return." Jasmine thinks before she says
"Alright, it's good to know, I'll think of something and I'll get back to you in a few days, if you fall in love with anyone else, tell me when we meet back up." Jasmine affirms
"Hmm, alright then." Rodney decides, "see you in a few days."
Confessional:
"Rodney's in a weird position right now," Jasmine starts "But I'm inclined to trust him surprisingly. I want to help him, I just want him to let me help him out." Jasmine sighs and then smiles
"Alright, I'm feeling good about this! I want help with this, but I just hope that I can find a way to not fall in love with absolutely every girl on earth.
The scenes swaps to the Toxic Rats boys cabin as Cameron grabs a pencil and starts writing on a piece of paper we don't see, Harold walks over and asks "Hey Cam, what's up?
"I'm doing something for just in case I get eliminated tomorrow, look," he then lets Harold look over and see what he's writing which Harold smiles at.
"You probably won't be eliminated, you did fine, Jo's just trying to stir up Drama to keep herself in. Keep it just in case, but you'll probably not need to use it."
The scene fades to Sam, who is sitting at a wooden table, bored when Cody walks up
"Hey dude, is Dakota back yet?" Cody asks
"Na, she'll probably be back soon though." The Gamer comments, with a little bit of hope in his eyes, when suddenly, a large, non-military helicopter flies in, and as everyone walks out, it lands.
"What's going on?"
"Huh?"
"What the?"
"Who?"
Several members of the Bass, Rats, Team Victory and Team Maskwak question, when the doors open, with several members of the military walk out, Sam gets up and walks over towards the helicopter. Suddenly, a tall figure walks out and Sam makes a small smile, before it talks.
"Uh... hey Sam... How's it going?" She is looking at the other campers
Dakota walked out of the helicopter, her eyes back to green and talking like she would if she wasn't a mutant, and however, the rest of her body looked as if she was still a mutant. She picks up the Gamer and they hug
"Look, let's talk about this somewhere where nobody's really looking." Dakota whispered
"Alright, let's go." Sam says as they walk off, with everyone looking on.
The scene changes to Chris, sitting at a group of monitors, before he begins the sign off "What's changed with Dakota? Which Rat will go next? Will Jasmine be able to help Rodney? Find out on the next episode of... TOTAL! DRAMA! VIEWERS DECIDE! A NEW BEGINNING!"

[1] Just in case it isn't known, one quotation mark means that it's a non-human talking post script form, e.g. B's text to speech program. They don't count towards characters overall lines imo, so B is still at 0 overall lines.
[2] If you are the first one to figure out what the numbering system is based around, then you get a shoutout next episode.
[3] As seen in Aftermath: Bridgette over Troubled Water.
[4] If that seemed out of character for DJ, keep in mind he has got a jerky side hidden under his soft shell (Prime example that comes to mind is when he threw Owen off the cliff in Paintball Deer Hunter).
[5] 'Are you kidding me' in Spanish. If I messed that up, then keep in mind that I used Google Translate.
[6] This is referencing the deleted scene in the American airing of Broadway Baby, where Cody falls into a certain part of the statue of liberty. Look it up on Youtube if you want to see the scene, it's easy to find online. It's also on Netflix airings.
How I feel about the eliminated camper:
Scarlett – Yeah, eliminating her is fine, I didn't really have that much of a plot for her. I made her lie low as both something she would probably do, and a way to have her not have to be written that much (:P). I don't really have that much to say about her tbh, I got lucky the last few had stuff I wanted to say.
Hope you guys like the labels I came up with for the campers, if you didn't, then let me know, there are a few I'm not sure on.
43rd Scarlett (The Homicidal Brainiac)
44th Amy (The Mean Twin)
45th Duncan (The Delinquent)
46th Scott (The Devious Farmer)
47th Sugar (The Pageant Queen)
48th Leonard (The LARPer)
49th Justin (The Eye Candy)
50th Sadie (The Dependent Best Female Friend for Life)
51st Staci (The Annoying Chatterbox)
52nd Ezekiel (The Home-Schooled Guy)
I have a poll on my profile, do you guys want to know how many campers will be left when merge hits this season or not? Vote on that poll and if more people vote yes, then I shall reveal the numbers at merge
I'm also just gonna remind you that the Aftermath episodes have questions asked to the eliminated campers, so you can ask questions now, or any other episode
I passed 8000 words! Hooray! Anyways, I wonder when I'll pass 10,000 words...
One last thing. Have I been writing the characters well? If there has been, what characters haven't I written well? And how can I improve?
Without further ado:
Xmon323 OUT!
