A/N: Now its time to get back to Total Drama Big Brother. It's been awhile, but don't think I've lost my touch. I've reviewed the other chapter and I'm all memorized with everything. Pierce is looking at eviction if he doesn't somehow win the Veto, but there's only time that can tell. Let's get right into the episode.

Previously On Big Brother: Tep and the rest of the Fighters were on the side of having Chowa leave next, but Sayde had other plans to save her friends. Sayde has the plan to volunteer herself for eviction along with Dottie in order to prevent Pierce from getting off the block. Joseph betrayed the Fighters and volunteered to be the second nominee for Derek. Everyone decided Cody was a valuable asset planning to use him to get far in the game, but Dottie warned him of Kimberly. At the sickest party of the summer, Pierce was on his own as Joseph was put out of commission. Sayde and Dottie found themselves saved for the week as well as their team. Tonight, the gamble of life is on as the Power Of Veto is up for grabs. Who will win the Power Of Veto and will it be used to save Pierce or Joseph from eviction? Also, the first luxury competition of the summer gets started. Stay tuned right now on Total Drama Big Brother!

Chapter 10-Bitter...Very Bitter

Everyone started coming into the house after the last Battle Of The Block competition. Ellie and Cody helped Joseph into the living room to lay on the couch. Ellie went to fetch him a glass of water.

Dottie: I felt bad for Joey, because he really tried out there. He's not fit for a competition like that and that really gave Pierce the disadvantage he needed. We just have to win the Veto and keep the nominations the same.

Chowa hugged Sayde whispering that she was proud of her.

Chowa: Hahahahahahahaha! Pierce is in trouble now and since he's lost the BoB, he's one step closer to being out the door. We just need the Veto and everything's set.

Pierce went to the bathroom where Conor hugged him.

Pierce(Nominee): I guess playing hard was not the best decision and Joey has decided where his true allegiance lays. I need Conor and possibly some other people on my team to help me out.

"This should've been an easy victory." Pierce stated as he wiped himself off with a towel.

"Don't worry, man. We can win the Veto and Chowa goes up." Conor promised.

"I know me, you and Tep would save me, but everyone else is a wild card." Pierce whispered.

Conor: There's only two people that would save Pierce and that's me and Tep. We have the numbers game if we both get in the Veto competition. It makes us big targets and I might have to evacuate over to Kimberly for protection.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The living room was Dottie watching over Joseph and Tep sitting on one of the couches.

"You did your best, man." Tep encouraged.

"I'm not as young as I used to be. I'm no party animal either." Joseph stated.

Joseph(Nominee): I'm still nominated for eviction, but this works out in my favor. Pierce is slated as the bad guy to go home and I feel safe knowing there are the votes. However, the Veto is another story.

"You think you'll be able to pull through in the Veto competition?" Dottie asked.

"That remains to be seen." Joseph replied.

"Ah, he can do it. I have faith in my team to get the job done when necessary." Tep stated.

Tep: Phase 1 worked like a charm, but I know Sayde and Dottie want Pierce out. Well, I'm not going to let them run how this team is supposed to go. I'll have to play second-in-command to get everyone to vote out Chowa. I have to get her on the block so that my main game problem is out.

"We need to talk." Dottie stated as she sat by Tep.

"What's there to talk about? I can't decide nothing since I'm not HOH." Tep explained.

"No, but you have your vote. I need you to help get Kimberly out of the game. She's a sneaky devil." Dottie whispered.

"Kimmy, huh? It's tempting." Tep stated.

Tep: As in tempting blackmail. See...this is why I'm smarter than most people think. Playing both sides of the house gets you far in this game. I have to play my cards right, but this will ensure the downfall of the Eagles next week.

Dottie: Meddling with the other team can seem distasteful, but I have priorities to set. Kimberly is not a person to trust and the more she stays, the more she can control. I know she's plotting something sinister as I speak.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dottie and Chasi were talking in the backyard on the couches.

"I need to rally some votes up to get rid of Kimberly. Are you in?" Dottie asked.

"What's wrong with her?" Chasi replied.

"She informed me she was in an alliance with Brady and she went behind his back to get rid of him." Dottie replied.

"That's sneaky even if he was an annoying person." Chasi stated.

"Now she's coming after me. I know I'm a threat already with my brain power, but I don't use underhanded tactics in order to win this game." Dottie explained.

Chasi: I have to say that Dottie makes a point. We already have Jela and Arnold as targets so what's one more in Kimberly. There are so many people to get out if we stand a chance in this house.

"There are so many threats in this house it's unreal how many people we need to get out." Chasi stated.

Shots of Jela doing her makeup in the bathroom, Arnold sitting in the living room and Kimberly eating dinner in the kitchen are shown.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jela went up to the HOH Room to talk with Derek. She knocked on the door and he let her in.

Jela: I figured talking with Derek about who to put up would work and it isn't Cody unfortunately. However, since we are starting to cheery girls out of the house, the next best option is Chowa.

"So what do you need?" Derek asked.

"I need to talk about getting Chowa out. I can tell that there is a big following in this house of cheery girls. There's Chowa, Sayde, Dottie, Ellie and Chasi. That's five people that can become mere threats to us and can get to the Final 5 if we let them." Jela replied.

"That is a problem, but they don't really pose a threat to me right now." Derek stated.

"Tep has the right idea. If you know what's good for you, you boot one of them this week. Their numbers won't stand a chance against us." Jela suggested.

Derek(Head Of Household): I'm really not convinced on Jela's assumption of this cheery girl alliance, but that doesn't mean it's not something looking into to. However, four of all those girls is on my team so if need be, Chowa would be the only option from that alliance.

"We don't need a numbers advantage in this house. They will go after people like me, because I'm a very social player." Jela stated.

"I can look into it and see what I can come up with." Derek explained.

"Also, remember this. I've even heard them considering taking Cody with them. If his actions in World Tour are anything to go by, you'll consider him too." Jela stated.

"Why Cody?" Derek asked.

"If those girls can take him far, he'll use each one just like he used Sierra. Everyone on his team is distracted that he's the vet and he can get them far. However, they'll be in for a rude awakening once they're out there with Julie." Jela replied.

"That makes sense I suppose." Derek figured.

"Get rid of him and you have one problem gone." Jela suggested as she left the room.

Derek thought it over and maybe should follow Jela's advice.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Everyone started gathering in the kitchen as they saw three glasses of brown slop. They gasped at the sight of the glasses and knew what they were.

Ellie: It's Slop Smoothies! These were the second course of slop from last season.

Derek grabbed the card and began to read it aloud.

"There's nothing like a good smoothie to chug down after an awesome party. In addition to the slop, you will have complimentary slop smoothies. Three houseguests will be only allowed this and cold showers for the week." Derek read.

Three of them would get the punishment this time so Derek chose his three.

"I choose Jela, Conor and Chowa." Derek chose.

The three houseguests looked at each other as they were going to be stuck in the same living space.

Jela: Well, I didn't expect to get chosen, but it's nothing I can't handle. What I'll probably be enjoying the most is the bickering between Conor and Chowa.

Conor: Derek probably made the worst mistake of his life. Chowa is going to give it to me good.

Chowa: *holds up a pair of scissors and Conor's picture and proceeds to cut it in half*

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ellie came out dressed in her Sakura cosplay costume from Cardcaptor Sakura has Pierce squealed at how cute she looked.

"You look marvelous, Ellie!" Pierce exclaimed.

"Thanks! This is one of my favorite costumes ever!" Ellie stated.

Ellie: I figured I let the house see some of my cute cosplay costumes. Sakura is one I wear to a lot of conventions, because it makes me look adorable.

"So how many costumes do you have? I might want to try some on." Pierce stated.

"I have plenty from a lot of anime. They are all so cute." Ellie explained.

"This one makes you look like an adorable little girl. You look so cute that I want to pinch your cheeks!" Pierce complimented.

Ellie giggled at Pierce fanboying over her costume as Cody stared at Ellie. He blushed as he saw her turn around slowly to capture her beauty. Cody looked away as his face flushed red.

"Something wrong, Cody?" Ellie asked.

"Ah...no...I'm good, El. Just a little hot in here. I think I'll go take a shower...heh." Cody replied, nervously.

Cody got out of the living room as quick as possible as he hid in the Diary Room.

Cody: *starts to sweat profusely* I thought Gwen and Lindsay were hot, but Ellie…

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Derek came out of the Diary Room with a box of names.

"Hey everyone! It's time to pick players for the Veto competition!" Derek exclaimed.

Everyone cheered and clapped as they came out onto the couches. Pierce and Joseph sat down on the nomination chairs as Derek stood up front.

"Only six players will play in the Veto competition. The Head Of Household, the two nominees and three houseguests chosen at random draw. Will the two nominees please join me up here." Derek ordered.

Pierce and Joseph came up to the front as Derek continued.

"As Head Of Household, I'll choose first." Derek stated as he reached into the bag.

Chowa: I have to get picked for this competition so I can make sure Pierce stays on the block. We can't have him getting any chances at getting off the block.

Conor: Me or Tep need to be in this competition to get Pierce out of trouble and get Chowa on where she needs to be. We have the votes to get her out so we need to confirm it.

"Chasi." Derek chose.

Chasi came up with a bright smile as Pierce reached into the box crossing his fingers.

"Dottie." Pierce chose.

Dottie smiled as she joined the others up front. Joseph was hoping to seal the deal on Pierce.

"Kimberly." Joseph chose.

Kimberly joined the others up front as Pierce sighed with disappointment.

"Big Brother will announce when it's time for the competition to start. Good luck!" Derek announced.

Pierce(Nominee): Karma has brought her wrath upon me as Chasi and Dottie are playing, but Kimberly can be swayed as long as it helps her game. I'm still alive in this.

Sayde: We have some girls that can help get Pierce out of this game and that's fine with me and Chowa. This will teach him to not shoot himself in the foot.

Kimberly: I'm going to win this Veto, because I know Dottie wants me on the block. I'll win this to secure my safety, because I know I'm a choice going up if I don't win.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dottie saw Ellie near the pool as she sat down in the grass next to her.

"Hello Ellie." Dottie greeted.

"Hey there, Dottie." Ellie greeted.

"Listen, I may need your help in getting Kimberly out of the house." Dottie stated.

"Is this because of what she did to Brady?" Ellie asked.

"She's sneaky. She can say all she likes, but I'm not buying it. She's got a good social game going on." Dottie replied.

Ellie: Kim and Dottie have really been going at it ever since Brady was evicted. I honestly think that they should just stop and play the game. Kimberly obviously needed a way to get rid of an annoyance to her game. Doesn't mean she would do it to any of us.

"I think you guys should put your differences aside. We may be on different teams, but we are all still individuals." Ellie stated.

"I'm not working with her. It's too risky." Dottie retorted as she crossed her arms.

"Just don't obsess over getting her evicted. That's gonna happen to you." Ellie advised.

Dottie: I can convince Derek to put Kim up, but whoever isn't willing to get rid of her is stupid. Pierce doesn't go behind others back and Chowa did the same thing. While I don't like Pierce, Kimberly is too sneaky to keep around.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ellie was dressed in a casino worker's uniform.

"Hey everybody! It's time for the Veto competition! Meet me out in the backyard to test your luck!" Ellie exclaimed.

The backyard was decorated to be like Las Vegas. Dice, Poker Tables and a giant Roulette Wheel. The houseguests came out as they liked their surroundings. Ellie stood at the top of the Roulette Wheel.

"Welcome to the BB Casino where you will test your luck on the Roulette Wheel. Each contestant must push their ball into the Roulette Wheel watching it spin. If it stop on a number, you score that many points. The houseguest with the highest number of points will win the Power Of Veto! Let's play Las Veto!" Ellie explained.

Dottie: This is all about luck and if the BoB was anything to go by, I have an advantage to win this Veto and make sure Kim goes up. I can't let her get to the live eviction unscathed.

Kimberly: Dottie is eyeing me and I'm getting more determined to put her in her place. Just you wait, Four Eyes, I'll get you next week.

"We shall go in alphabetical order. This means Chasi will go first." Ellie announced.

Chasi stepped up as she pushed the ball into the Roulette Wheel. She crossed her fingers for a good score as the ball landed in the #6 slot.

"Chasi, you've scored a 6 so you're currently in the lead." Ellie announced.

Chasi stepped down as she stepped on the orange platform hoping for a miracle.

Chasi: A 6? Not my best chance.

"We have Derek going next. Come on up!" Ellie exclaimed.

Derek got up on the platform as he pushes the ball into the Wheel. He crossed his fingers as the ball landed in the #3 slot.

"Derek, you've scored a 3. I'm sorry, but that's not enough to take the lead. You've been eliminated." Ellie announced.

Derek stepped down as some houseguests snickered.

Derek(Head Of Household): I can't believe that actually happened. A 3? What's wrong with me?

"Dottie is going next." Ellie announced.

Dottie got on the Wheel and pushed her ball in. It started turning fast and it landed inside the #10 slot.

"Dottie, you've scored 10 points which means you take the lead. Chasi, I'm sorry, but you are eliminated." Ellie announced.

Chasi stepped down as Dottie took her place hoping to maintain her lead.

"Joey, you're up." Ellie announced.

Joseph helped himself up the stairs as he pushed the white ball into the Roulette Wheel. It rolled real fast and slowed down inside the #9 slot.

"Joey, you scored 9 points which isn't enough to take over the lead so you've been eliminated." Ellie announced.

Joseph sighed as he stepped down from the Wheel.

Joseph(Nominee): I'm sad to not win the Veto, but I'm sure I'm safe for the week. I don't know who to really trust though.

"Kimberly, you're up next." Ellie announced.

Kimberly got up as she pushed the ball into the Wheel as it rolled and stopped into the #3. She was shocked as Dottie laughed.

"Kimberly, you've scored a 3 which is not enough to take the lead so you've been eliminated." Ellie announced.

Kimberly: Argh! Ugh! No!

Pierce came up as he prayed he could win this Veto and pushed the ball into the Wheel. The ball rolled as everyone was on edge to see what Peirce would get. The ball continued to roll until it stopped in the #6 slot.

"Pierce, you've scored a 6, but that's not enough to take the lead. Congratulations, Dottie, you've won the Power Of Veto!" Ellie announced.

Dottie clapped her hands together as she ran over to Ellie. She was crowned with the Veto as a Sayde ran up to hug her best friend.

Dottie(Veto Holder): I have the power and this means Kimberly is going up. I can't believe I actually won this.

Kimberly: This can't be happening! Four Eyes won't the Veto and now I have the best possible chance of going up. I need to do some convincing or I could be the next one out. Brady wouldn't let me live it down.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

In the HOH Room, Dottie, Derek and Arnold were in there. Derek and Dottie laying on the bed while Arnold was reading a book on the couch.

"I need you to put Kimberly up." Dottie whispered.

"Why so?" Derek asked.

"She's sneaky and manipulative. She got Brady out after serving her word to him in a secret alliance." Dottie replied.

"Here I thought she just didn't like the guy." Derek stated.

"She doesn't care about anyone else in this house, but herself." Dottie added.

Arnold lowered his book to stare at the scientist.

Arnold: Dottie wishes to see Kimberly out the door and she possibly wants me as well. It would be wise to dispatch of her early so I won't need to deal with her in the finale.

Conor came in as he sat down on the couch far away from Arnold. He had his thought about the group.

Conor: Dottie, Arnold and Derek in the same room. That's weird beyond certain standards. I just came up here for a little detective work and I think I already made a big discovery.

"What's up, guys?" Conor asked.

"There's not much up here. Just talking about the game." Derek replied.

Derek(Head Of Household): Conor just walked right in here like he owned the place and that's suspicious to me. He must've came up, because of something concerning Dottie. I know he's willing to campaign for Pierce which might lead to him going up.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dottie and Sayde were out in the hammock together as they were rocking back and forth.

"You gonna use the Veto?" Sayde asked.

"I'm using it on Joseph. He deserves it after helping us win." Dottie replied.

"I just hope you remember we want Pierce out this week." Sayde stated.

"I told Derek to put Kimberly up. That should show her who she's messing with." Dottie added.

Sayde: There is hostility between Dottie and Kimberly, but the main person is Pierce. I just hope that Dottie doesn't go into eviction night focusing on the wrong person.

"You think he'll go against it?" Dottie asked.

"He can put up anyone, but the main target needs to be Pierce." Sayde replied.

Dottie(Head Of Household): We have a chance to get rid of Kim this week and I need to take that chance. I started thinking about this ever since the first time me and Kimberly squared. I'm definitely in her sights if she stays.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Arnold and Joseph were relaxing in the Nature Room. Arnold enjoyed Joseph's presence as he continued to blossom a friendship with the inventor.

"I really enjoy spending time together, youngin." Joseph stated.

"I enjoy you too." Arnold added.

"So make any advances with Jela yet?" Joseph asked.

"No. We are merely individuals in this game." Arnold replied.

"There has to be some sort of sparks. You two like talking with each other." Joseph stated.

Arnold: Talking strategy doesn't equate as flirting. I'm just setting the record straight for Joey. I like the man and respect him, but teasing me over my cru-I mean Jela is annoying.

"She's a friend. That's it." Arnold promised.

"Sure she is. I see you lovebirds making faces at each other." Joseph stated with a chuckle.

Joseph(Nominee): Arnold and Jela sure do fit well together. I don't trust Jela, but she's coming around in my books. Maybe I can even give Arnold some advice for dating.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Jose was walking through the living room when the TV changed displayed 'LUXURY COMPETITION'. He saw this as he smirked.

"Hey guys! Come look at this!" Jose called to the others in the kitchen.

Everyone spiraled down to the living room as they saw the TV nervous as to what this competition could be.

Pierce(Nominee): Luxury competitions are a rare entity in Big Brother so this could be for anything. A new truck? A possible trip to France?

The TV changed displays as it said 'HEAD TO THE BACKYARD'. As if on cue, every houseguest headed for the backyard as four podiums were there. Derek headed for the podiums before reaching for the card.

"Hello houseguests, welcome to the first luxury competition of the summer. The only participants will be the houseguests to have won competitions for this week. Derek, Tep, Sayde and Dottie will be competing for a grand prize called a Norwegian Cruise for three to the Bahamas." Derek announced.

The other three houseguests cheered that they were competing for the luxury.

Tep: Heh, this is going to be a sweet prize for me and my wife when I not only win this cruise, but the money at the end. She'll be shutting that mouth of hers from now on.

Sayde: OMG! A cruise for me three! Dakota will be so excited when I win it for us and whoever else wants to come!

"The objective of this competition is simple. We each pull a name out of the bucket in front of us. The houseguest's name that is pulled out the most will be eliminated. Last houseguest standing wins the cruise." Derek stated.

Sayde, Dottie, Tep and Derek all nodded as took their places at the podiums. In Round 1, they reached into the bucket and showed the cameras their picks.

Derek-Derek

Tep-Tep

Sayde-Dottie

Dottie-Tep

Yep saw that he was eliminated as he stepped down from his podium. The three remaining houseguests reached back inside the bucket to grab different names. They got them out and revealed them to the audience.

Derek-Derek

Sayde-Sayde

Dottie-Sayde

Sayde saw she was eliminated which bummed her leaving the HOH and Veto Holder. Derek and Dottie reached into the bucket to pull out the last names.

Derek-Derek

Dottie-Derek

Derek saw his name as he laughed and hugged Dottie.

"Congratulations, Dottie, you have won this luxury competition." Derek congratulated.

Dottie(Veto Holder): So I win the Golden Veto and this cruise for after the show. This has to be the best day of my life and all that left is for Kimberly to head on the block then out the door.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dottie opened the Diary Room as she walked across the living room. She walked over to the Memory Wall and grabbed the Veto putting it around her neck. She looked at the pictures as the camera zoomed in on Pierce's picture.

Pierce(Nominee): Dottie must have some kind of fan club for being the hero in this little tale. I'm going to fight hard to keep myself here and I will exterminate Chowa, Sayde, Dottie and anyone else that dares to cross me.

The camera zoomed in on Kimberly's face.

Kimberly: Dottie sure has some nerve to try and get me on the block. I have no purpose going home and Pierce is basically the sitting duck. Nice try, but you can't fool everyone.

The camera zoomed in on Conor's face.

Conor: Dottie, Derek and Arnold must be in a secret alliance. I've reported them to Pierce and Tep so we have to make sure we are golden for the week before cracking at that trio.

Dottie opened the backdoor to the backyard as she stuck her head out.

"Everyone, it's time for the Veto meeting." Dottie announced.

Everyone came inside as they look their seats on the couches. Pierce and Joseph sat down in the nomination chairs.

"This is the Veto meeting. Pierce and Joseph have been nominated for eviction. However, I have the power to Veto one of the nominations. I'll give you both a chance to explain why I should use the Veto on you." Dottie explained.

Pierce got up as he looked at Dottie with an innocent look.

"Sweet Dottie, I know you will make the right decision and make sure the right person goes home. You have this Veto and I know you will want whoever you want gone." Pierce stated as he sat down.

Joseph got up as he rubbed his hands together.

"Dottie, I don't expect anything from you and you need to use the Veto on me. Just do whatever you need to do to make sure that Pierce stays here on the block where he belongs." Joseph stated as he sat down.

Conor and Tep glared at Joseph as he clearly switched sides.

"Well, thank you both. I have decided to….not use the Power Of Veto." Dottie decided.

Dottie took the Veto and put it in the box. Pierce and Joseph were stunned at her decision while Kimberly raised an eyebrow.

"This Veto meeting is adjourned." Dottie finished as she closed the box.

Pierce and Joseph got up hugging everyone that they could.

Pierce(Nominee): I'm surprised that Dottie didn't use the Veto as she had the chance to get someone she hated on the block. Looks like I'm going on as one of the nominees, but don't think I'm going out just yet.

Joseph(Nominee): Very surprising, but she's doing what she needs to for her game. I should be safe this week, but anything could happen from here to Thursday.

Kimberly: Not using the Veto is probably Dottie's biggest mistake. She is going to pay for everything when I win HOH and put her butt up on the block where it should be.

Dottie: I didn't use the Veto, because it wouldn't even matter. Pierce is the bigger threat so I don't think I would get enough votes against Kimberly. I just hope this doesn't come back to haunt me.
