After the cast had gotten back to the house, Geoff was seen sulking as he sat on his bed. Ty came in to comfort him.
"What's up, my man? Still bummed about Bridgette?"
"She's my world, dude! I don't know if I can survive here without her."
"You have to! You're the only one left on our team that's been on a reality show before. We need you to survive."
"Easy for you to say! Your girlfriend's still here. Speaking of Kelly... you know how much of a witch she is, right?"
"Kel?" Ty shrugged. "I mean, sure, she's not the easiest person to get along with, but..."
"Bridge told me Kelly was trying to find a way to get rid of her. And, look, bro... it happened! You better be careful... or she may find a way to dump you too!"
Geoff got up and walked out of the room, leaving a befuddled Ty behind.
Confessional Cam - Ty
"I try to befriend the guy, and then he tells me that Kel can't be trusted? I'm starting to think Geoff is the one that can't be believed around here."
As Geoff stomped upstairs, he passed by Caitlin, who was coming down.
"Hey, Geoff! Sorry about Bridgette..."
"Whatever," he grumbled.
Caitlin gasped as Geoff kept going. Caitlin got to the bottom and met up with Jen, who was out in the backyard.
"There you are!" Jen sighed in relief, before noting the sad look on Caitlin's face. "Hey, what's wrong?"
"I ran into Geoff on the stairs. He wasn't exactly in the best of moods."
"Oh, he'll be fine. Bridgette meant a lot to him. How would you feel if the love of your life became lost at sea?"
"Good point."
Caitlin then thought about it.
"Good point."
"Uh huh, Cait. I get it."
Caitlin then ran back inside. Jen scratched her head in confusion.
"Wasn't she supposed to help me with something?"
Confessional Cam - Caitlin
"Jen's right! Without Bridgette around, Geoff's kind of out of it. I guess maybe it's time he went, too."
The next morning...
"Hi, peeps!" Blaineley greeted. "I'm still here in Key West, back and better than ever! Bridgette thought she could get rid of me, but now, I'm going to get rid of her!"
She showed that she was standing in front of the cast's house, and she proceeded to knock on the door. It was answered by Geoff, Julie, and Cody. Blaineley pushed her way past them and inside.
"Alright, you peons? Where's Bridgette? Thinks she can accuse ME of fixing the game? Thanks to her, the producers didn't pay me yesterday even though they said they would when I was off at my scheduled parole meeting!"
"Uh..." Geoff began to say.
"So, where is she? I wanna rub it in her face that I'm still here!"
"Nobody told you?" Cody finally asked her. "Bridgette's gone."
Blaineley froze.
"I'm sorry... what did you say?"
"Bridgette. She's gone."
Blaineley's left eye began to twitch.
"You should think about getting that checked," pointed out Julie.
"WHAT?" screamed Blaineley.
Everyone else popped their heads in, whether from a side room or peeking down from atop the stairs.
"No, seriously, you could have a medical condition..."
"YOU GUYS GOT RID OF BRIDGETTE AND I WASN'T HERE TO SEE IT?"
"To be fair," Caitlin answered, "it was Jen's fault."
"Caitlin!" Jen snapped at her.
"Sorry, but you were the one who took her on in the challenge."
"You don't have to tell her that!"
"THAT'S IT!" Blaineley yelled. "CHALLENGE! NOW!"
"But..." Geoff began to object.
"ANYONE WHO'S NOT ON THE BUS WHEN IT GETS HERE IN TEN MINUTES, YOU'RE OUT OF THE GAME! MOVE IT!"
With that, everyone rushed to get ready.
Some unknown amount of time later, the 11 remaining competitors were gathered at today's challenge location. On one side of the beach were two large ten-gallon tanks, each of which had a large hose attached to the top on one end and the other to a tanker truck. On the other side was two large grids covered by tarps. And in the middle were eight jugs - four for each team. There was a one-gallon container, two two-gallon ones, and a large, five-gallon one for each team. Blaineley began to explain the challenge.
"Today's challenge is called 'Tank to Tank.' On my cue, those large tanks over there will begin to fill with water. Your job is to take your jugs and fill them. You'll need all of that water to complete the puzzle hidden under that tarp. Which I'll explain later. If I feel like it."
"If you feel... like it?" questioned Kelly.
"That's it! You're going in the tank!"
Kelly puts her hands on her hips. "What does THAT mean?"
"Oh. That's what THAT means."
Kelly, now wearing a life jacket, found herself standing inside one of the tanks.
"I get why she's in here..."
Pan over to Courtney, who was in the other tank.
"...but why am I in here?"
Blaineley glared at Courtney. "I just watched the footage from the last episode. You're the reason Bridgette's not here any more... and why Kelly's still here!"
"Hello!" interrupted Kelly. "I'm right here, y'know!"
"Is this safe?" Courtney asked. "I'm going to refuse to participate if this thing's not safe!"
"Oh, it's safe," Blaineley assured her.
She turned around and walked away, before adding, under her breath...
"...for about ten minutes."
She then walked over to the others.
"Okay, Groms, you guys need to sit one person out. Caitlin, it's you."
"But I actually don't wanna sit out today..."
"You're sitting out. The rest of you are doing the challenge! And for those of you at home, the challenge starts... right after these messages!"
[End Act One]
[Challenge 10: Tank to Tank]
With a snap of her fingers, the 10-gallon tanks that Courtney and Kelly were sitting in began to fill with water, coming down on each of their heads and soaking their hair instantly. Their teammates stood at the starting line, waiting for the signal to go. But Blaineley just stared at them, not in any rush to send them off.
"Um," Trent spoke up, "are we starting any time soon?"
"I'm sure those two will drown if we don't act quickly," Darth pointed out, before adding, "though in Kelly's case..."
"Just a little bit longer..." Blaineley told them, as she flashed a smile.
"I see water coming in, but none going out!" Courtney shouted. "If I drown, I swear I'm suing everyone on this show!"
"Good luck with that," grumbled Kelly, "especially when you find out you can't contact lawyers WHEN YOU'RE DEAD!"
Finally, when the tank read one gallon full...
"Okay, teams... GO!"
Both teams sprinted to their containers, picked them up, and headed over to the tanks. The Vets go to theirs first, followed by the Groms, and both teams opened their spouts to begin transferring water into their containers.
"Hurry up!" Courtney bellowed. "This thing is filling up fast!"
"Don't worry!" Trent assured her. "We've got it."
The Vets had decided to start with one of the two-gallon containers, while the Groms had picked the five-gallon one as the most important.
"Why does it feel like you're not doing anything?" scolded Kelly, as the water level continued to rise.
Blaineley came in to explain. "That's because the max rate of liquid exiting is a half-gallon per minute, while the rate coming in is a WHOLE gallon a minute!"
Kelly seethed at the hostess. "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"
"Pretty much."
The teams continued to work, going as fast as they could. The Vets stuck with filling the smaller containers first, while the Groms were still waiting for the five-gallon to fill completely. Suddenly, Kelly felt herself losing touch with the bottom, as her life vest was doing its job by keeping her floating at the surface.
"This isn't working!" Kelly cried.
Courtney was in a similar situation, but given she was a few inches taller than Kelly, she could still touch the bottom, even with the water now up to the top of her chest. Then, suddenly, water stopped coming into the tank.
"Thank goodness!" exclaimed Courtney. "I was getting worried for a second."
"Attention, everyone!" Blaineley shouted. "The initial ten gallons has been completely emptied into the tank!"
"What does she mean by initial?" Jen asked, fearful of the answer.
"The tanker operators have been instructed to restart the hoses and dump ANOTHER ten gallons in beginning in 15 minutes from now!"
[Time until tank starts filling again: 15:00 - 14:59]
"That's not good," Geoff stated matter-of-factly.
"Hurry up!" ordered Darth. "Fill that container!"
"This thing can't go any faster!" Ty shouted.
Shortly thereafter, the Groms' five-gallon container was finally completely full. Julie shut off the hose, Darth pulled it out of the container, leaving Geoff and Ty to pick it up and lug it out of the way. Darth then moved the first of the two two-gallon jugs under the spout and they began filling that one.
"At the current rate," Julie calculated, "I project by the time we empty Kelly's tank, we'll have roughly four minutes before it starts filling up again."
"Can we solve a puzzle in four minutes?" Ty wondered out loud.
"You better!" griped Kelly. "Or else!"
The Vets had came to the same conclusion, just as they finally moved on to filling the five-gallon container.
"This puzzle better be easy," Cody gulped audibly. "Or else Courtney's gonna get a whole lot wetter!"
Limited by the speed of their hoses, the next few minutes were filled with anxiety for both teams. But eventually...
"That's it!" Jen shouted as water stopped coming out of the hose.
She pulled the hose out and tossed it on the ground.
"Vets are beginning the trek to the puzzle!" Blaineley announced.
Cody picked up the one-gallon jug, Jen and Trent each got a two-gallon one, leaving Jonesy with the large, five-gallon container.
"Drop a single drop, and you're FINISHED!" yelled Courtney.
"Not happenin', babe!" Jonesy told her. "I got this!"
Or so he thought... apparently, 40-plus pounds was difficult for one guy of his size to lift off the ground. So he had no choice but to starting dragging it.
[Time until tank starts filling again: 4:08 - 4:07]
As Jonesy struggled, the Groms were about to top off their last jug, the one-gallon one. Once it was filled...
"Done!" Ty said, shaking out the final few drops.
Darth turned off the dispenser.
"Go, go!" Kelly barked. "If I drown, it's on all of your heads!"
Blaineley was waiting for the Vets over the still-covered puzzles. Trent placed his container on the ground, then, aware Jonesy was in trouble, ran back to help him.
"Time to reveal your puzzle!" Blaineley told them.
She clapped her hands, and the tarps were pulled off to reveal two water transfer systems, made up of dispensers, pipes, closed tanks, open tanks, and a switch valve. Some of it was already in place, but most of it was scattered on the ground in front of them.
"To win the challenge, you must move the water in your containers to those dispensers. From those dispensers, you must set up your system in such a way that all six tanks are filled to the brim WITHOUT wasting a drop! Failure to do so means you must go get more water and try again."
"Wait a minute," Jen realized. "You mean we filled these containers, and then we have to dump them into dispensers that are the exact same size?"
"Yep!"
"Isn't that inefficient?"
"Ha ha!" laughed Blaineley. "Honey, nobody saying anything about efficiency!"
Blaineley then walked over to the other side to tell the same thing to the incoming Groms, which left Jen and Cody to begin figuring out what to do.
"We're not plumbers!" shouted Cody, as panic was already starting to set in. "Courtney's going to have a cow!"
"Forget Courtney!" Jen told him. "Figuring out this puzzle saves her, alright?"
Meanwhile, Julie reached her team's puzzle first, as she was carrying the one-gallon jug. Ty followed with both of the two-gallon ones, and last came Geoff and Darth, who worked together to bring in the five-gallon one. Blaineley explained the puzzle to them. After she was finished...
"That sounds highly complex," thought Ty out loud.
"So what?" hissed Blaineley. "Deal with it!"
[Time until tank starts filling again: 3:24 - 3:23]
Both teams were now in a race against the clock. Thankfully, they had been given instructions explaining the functions of all of the pieces, and no tools were required as pieces were to be snapped into the vertical grid via the pegs embedded in the back of them. Each of the dispensers had a cap on it, which had two red wires that came out of it, ran down the side, and into and out of one of the pegs.
"When attached to the control panel," Darth read aloud, "the caps will open, allowing all of the water inside out."
"I guess we start filling," hinted Geoff as he motioned for Ty to help him bring the five-gallon container over to the dispenser.
Over with the Vets, Jonesy and Trent had arrived as Cody sorted the pieces and Jen was checking over the instructions.
"Open tanks are equipped with a valve on the side that automatically opens when it reaches its maximum capacity. Having pipes and/or other tanks to funnel or catch the exiting water is recommended."
One of the open tanks was attached to the wall, and it had a '3' on the spout. The spout itself was already connected to a pipe that was pointing downward. It was just to the right of the center of the grid, and the bottom of it was two-and-a-half feet off the ground.
"You MUST use all of the pieces," Blaineley told them. "The good news is that although there are multiple possible solutions, you only have to find one!"
Jen and Darth, respectively, took it upon themselves to act as foremen, as they stepped back and instructed their teammates on where to snap pieces into place.
"That has to be near the ground!" Jen told Jonesy, who was holding up a clear tank with a '2' on it.
"You sure?"
"Yes! Don't question me!"
Each team also had the use of a hydraulic lift that could raise people and cargo up off the ground. Ty and Geoff were on it, along with two open tanks, each with a '1' on them, two straight pipes, and two L-shaped pipes. As Darth watched them rise, Julie came over with the switch valve. Like the caps on the dispensers, it also had wires sticking out of the center of the peg.
"According to the instructions," Julie told Darth, "this valve controls which end water is allowed to exit it. A sensor inside closes one valve and opens the other automatically once a gallon of liquid has passed through it."
"What's with the arrow?" Darth asked, noting that it was pointing to his left.
"The arrow designates which valve is currently open."
"I see. We must be very careful about where we place that."
On the other side, Jen was holding her switch valve in her hand, but was still trying to discern where to place it. Work continued for several minutes, and it looks like both teams were making progress...
[Time until tank starts filling again: 0:01 - 0:00]
Both teams started to hear the sound of gushing water, and it was getting louder. A few of them turned around and saw the tanks that Courtney and Kelly were in begin to fill with water once again.
"The girls' tanks are being filled again!" Blaineley told them. "In ten minutes, those tanks will be at capacity! Better hustle!"
Both sides continued without missing a beat, but that only lasted until the hostess noticed water coming out of Courtney's tank. The Vets had not closed the valve connected to the dispenser, and thus, water was now coming out of the hose.
"STOP! STOP!"
Pretty much everyone on both sides halted, and they turned to face Blaineley.
"Wasting water? Apparently, one team is in the mood to get disqualified!"
"WHAT?" screamed the four Team Vets' members.
[End Act Two]
The water had just been turned back on, and Courtney and Kelly were being drenched once again. Courtney was getting sort of a reprieve, though, as her team had forgotten to close the valve at the dispenser, thus allowing water to flow out of the hose connected to it. That, however, did not please Blaineley.
"Wasting water? Apparently, one team is in the mood to get disqualified!"
"WHAT?" screamed the four Team Vets' members.
"Someone go turn off that water this instant, or you're forfeiting the challenge!"
"Oh, come on!" whined Jen.
"NOW!"
"GOT IT!" Jonesy called out.
"No, I need you right now! Cody, you go do it!"
Cody nodded.
Confessional Cam - Cody
"Jen needs Jonesy more than me? Dang... I guess that makes me the dead weight on this team. Sigh... as usual."
Cody ran back to the tank as Jen ordered Jonesy and Trent to start putting stuff on the hydraulic lift.
"What are you doing?" Courtney asked Cody as he reached for the valve.
"Blaineley's threatening to DQ us unless I turn this off!" Cody replied as he did just that.
A few minutes later, both teams' water systems were starting to come together. On the Groms' side, they were already beginning to put the dispensers in place. The Vets still had to finish filling theirs before they could put them on the lift.
"Heads up," Blaineley reminded them, "if you value your teammate's lives, I suggest you pick up the pace!"
[Approximate amount of water in tanks: 5 gallons]
Kelly was floating once again, while Courtney was getting awfully close to doing the same. But her team's unplanned leak had the benefit of leaving her water level a few inches below Kelly's.
"What's taking so long?" screeched Kelly.
"Eew!" Courtney cried out as she looked at her fingers. "I'm pruning!"
Kelly gasped in horror when she realized the same was happening to her.
"I demand to be let out of here this instant!"
Back over with their teammates, Jonesy and Cody were emptying the contents of the five-gallon container into the five-gallon dispenser. Unfortunately, their aim was not the best, and a good amount of water was landing on the ground. As a result, when they finished filling it, there was still room at the top.
"We have to get more water!" Cody instantly decided.
"Chill," Jonesy calmed him down. "I'm sure Jen's not gonna notice!"
"AHHHH!"
"Then again..."
Jen had ran over, noticing the not-quite-full dispenser and the small puddle that had formed under it thanks to all the spilled water.
"We need every drop! Can't you guys do ANYTHING right?"
She snatched the container from her stepbrother and shoved it into Cody's chest.
"Go get some more! NOW!"
"Why me?"
Jen growled at him. That scared Cody into following orders.
"Going! Going!"
Cody ran off, leaving Jen to lash into Jonesy. But that did not let Cody completely off the hook, as he now had to answer to Courtney.
"What happened? Are you guys seriously trying to drown me?"
Cody ignored her as he started to put water in the container.
"Are you even listening to me?"
Meanwhile, with the Groms, Darth let Julie direct as he had gone up on the lift with Geoff and Ty to install the dispensers. They had gotten the smaller ones, leaving only the five-gallon one to install. Darth was making sure the wires were getting through the wall.
"Okay, clear! Do it, guys!"
He stepped to the side to allow the guys to snap it in place.
"Hey, Blaineley!" Geoff called down to the hostess. "Let's light this sucker!"
Seeing the Groms' completed system, she signaled to the electricians to begin hooking up the wiring to the control panel.
"Groms, double-check your design while the wiring's being done. Vets, keep working! You may still be in this if their design's faulty!"
Trent and Jonesy were on the lift, going up to install the smaller dispensers, while Jen went over to the closed tanks and started to insert them in the lower right part of the grid.
"Are we all set, my love?" Darth asked Julie as he in the boys had been lowered to ground level.
"We're ready."
Ty then looked back at the tank, and at his girlfriend...
[Approximate amount of water in Kelly's tank: 7.5 gallons]
"What's going on?" Kelly asked. "WHY ARE YOU ALL JUST STANDING AROUND?"
She was too far away to hear what was going on. As she continued to scream, Cody had gotten about a gallon of water into his container and was on his way back to his team. By the time he got back, though, the wiring had been completed on the Groms' side, and Blaineley was ready to flip the on switch on the control panel.
"Last chance," Blaineley looked at the Groms. "If you're wrong, it may cost you the challenge!"
"I AM NEVER WRONG!" Darth boldly declared. "Flip it!"
Blaineley shrugged, then flipped the switch. Instantly, the caps on all four dispensers popped open, and water started to flow out of them. As the Groms watched the first few tanks begin to fill, the Vets were still rushing to get their design done.
"Come on, come on!" Jen said as she helped Cody top off the five-gallon dispenser.
They finished as Trent and Jonesy put in the last of the smaller dispensers. Jen motioned them to hurry back down. Meanwhile, Blaineley and the Groms were watching the excess water flow out of the open tanks, through the pipes and towards the switch valve. The latter worked as programmed, flipping the direction of water flow for every gallon that passed through. The Groms watched excitedly as the two closed tanks began to fill...
"AAAAHHHHHH!" Kelly screamed, as she began running out of empty space.
...and be done so to capacity, two gallons in the two-gallon tank, and one gallon in the single-gallon one.
"The Groms win!"
[Team Vets $150,000 - Team Groms $100,000]
The Groms high-fived each other with glee, while the Vets, particularly Jen, were not pleased as they all stood gathered by the lift. Back over at the tanks, water had stopped coming in. Just in time, too, as Kelly had to bend her head backwards and stare straight up into the sky just to keep it above water.
"What's going on?" she asked, unaware of what was going on. "Did we win?"
"Yes," grumbled Courtney, who still had about six inches between the top of the tank and her hair. "You guys won. Stupid team."
At Castoff Beach deliberations, Kelly was still furiously trying to dry off and fix her hair as she watched Ty count the votes out loud. For some reason, they had decided to go straight to a secret ballot vote...
"Geoff. Darth. Me. Geoff. Me. Darth. Hmmm... that's not good."
"A three-way tie?" Kelly argued. "Impossible! That WASN'T the plan!"
She started eying a few people, wondering who changed their vote.
"There must be a mistake! Everyone, vote again! And this time, get it right!"
They all went through a second round of voting, and again, Ty publicly tallied the votes.
"Geoff. Darth. Me. Darth. Geoff. Me. Three-way tie again."
"OOOH!" Kelly hissed. "This is unacceptable!"
She looked around the tent again, but no one seemed in any rush to admit who voted for whom.
"Somebody's gotta go into the challenge," Ty admitted.
"Well," Darth spoke up, "if you're expecting me to sacrifice myself, then you're a few galaxies short of a milky way, padawan!"
"I don't wanna go either," argued Geoff, "even if to avenge Bridge. No way!"
"One last vote," Kelly suggested. "But girls only! That way, we're sure to break the tie!"
Julie and Caitlin nodded in acceptance, but both were trying to hide any sign of nervousness. The trio voted rather quickly, and Ty went to tally it a third time.
"One vote for me. One vote for Darth. And the last vote... is for Geoff."
"A-ha! I KNEW IT!"
Kelly angrily turned her attention to Julie.
"Vote off Darth!"
"I'm not voting off my boyfriend! No matter what you say!"
The two of them growled at each other.
[Castoff Beach]
"Sorry," apologized Caitlin beforehand, "but we decided to put Jonesy in the challenge."
Jonesy stepped forward, but he did not seem afraid in the least.
"Do your worst, Cait! I can take on any guy on your team! Once that's done, I'll get some sugar from my girl!"
A quick glance over to Courtney saw that she was mad over losing the challenge... and water was still dripping out of her hair.
"Girls are much better when they're moist."
He began putting that image in his head, but it never completely formed as he saw both Blaineley and Caitlin glaring at him... and then getting kicked in the shins by Courtney.
"AAAHHH! I might need that leg!"
"You should've thought of that before you OPENED YOUR MOUTH, JONESY!"
"Please tell me you've picked someone good to go against him," Blaineley turned back to Caitlin.
Caitlin began to laugh nervously. "Well, um... about that..."
"YOU COULDN'T DECIDE?"
"Wow! How did you guess?"
Blaineley stomped past Caitlin and over to the Groms. Completely at random, she grabbed Darth and pushed him into Jonesy.
"Darth!" cried Julie.
"Darth?" questioned Caitlin.
"My princess!" wailed Darth.
"Since the cast of '6teen' can't seem to make decisions by themselves," explained Blaineley, "it's time one of you goes! Besides, it's the only way to guarantee one of you DOES leave!"
Blaineley pushed Caitlin back to her teammates, and then Darth over to the wheel.
"No need for all the pushing!" Caitlin shouted.
Darth spun the wheel to see what event he would be competing in against Jonesy for the right to stay in the game. It turned out to be...
[Hang for Your Life]
Jonesy and Darth stood on their platforms, ready to do battle on the ring course over the ocean.
"Take Jonesy down!" Julie shouted at Darth in encouragement.
"I will, my sweet! Weak-minded Jonesy is!"
"HEY! I can hear you, you know!"
"Jonesy!" Courtney shouted. "If you lose this, our alliance is over!"
"Yeah," Jen pointed out. "I think that goes without saying. Oh, and you and Jonesy? Eew?"
"IT'S A BUSINESS PARTNERSHIP!"
"Combatants, ready?" Blaineley counted them down. "3, 2, 1... GO!"
Both Jonesy and Darth reached out for the first ring and pulled themselves off of the platform. Jonesy did not take long to move on to the next one, then the third. Darth, though, was visibly straining almost immediately as he swung to the second ring and grabbed it with his free hand. Any momentum he had ceased instantly, and he found himself stretched too far.
"Hang in there, Darth!" Julie cheered him on.
But alas, the strain was too much. His arms gave out, and he went plummeting into the water. Trent and Cody applauded Jonesy for surviving yet another elimination challenge.
Confessional Cam - Jonesy
"They keep trying to take me out, but they keep failing! I'm the best!"
Darth was tossed on the raft and pushed out to sea before he knew it. Julie ran a few feet into the water, waving for Darth to come back.
"Darth!"
"Don't let the Dark Side envelope you, my princess!" he advised her as he floated farther off. "Beware the Dark Side!"
Speaking of which, Kelly came in and put a hand on Julie's shoulder.
"See, Julie? Even when things DON'T go exactly as planned, the outcome is always what I want. Keep that in mind before you even think about crossing me again!"
In the editing studio at some later date, with Blaineley pausing the ending footage to make a comment.
"And Darth makes ten! That leaves only two eliminations before the finale!"
Quick shot of each of the five remaining girls: Caitlin, Courtney, Jen, Julie, and Kelly.
"One of these girls MUST go before the final challenge! Find who the unluckiest of them all is, next time, on 'Fresh Challenge: Vets vs. Groms!'"
End Episode Ten
