"Last time on Total Drama Island we had our teams do some trust exercises." "The Bass at first sucked (shows clips of the Bass losing the rock climbing challenge and of Alejandro being poisoned by Staci's cooking), but after wanting to entertain myself I had each team start doing blind trust exercises and the Bass eventually started to win. (shows clip of Sky getting the arrow through the apple and shows a clip of Bridgette catching Geoff.) In the end by strange twist of fate or by other forces the Bass ended up losing again (shows clip of Leshawna and Gwen being blasted to the finish line and a close up of the tiki totem that Staci took out of her pocket) and because of that little cursed totem and some influence by Heather Staci was the next to go down the dreaded Dock of Shame." "Who will get injured today and feel the pain and who will be humiliated check it right here on Total Drama Island?!"

Duncan is carving a skull into the side of the cabin when Sky comes out of the cabin "Oh Duncan I was just about to go look for you would mind going somewhere private to talk."

Sky confession "Okay so I totally don't trust Alejandro so I'm thinking I need allies who can help me take him down." "I was weighing my options Bridgette and Geoff are too much in love with each other to focus in the game sometimes, DJ is tough but he's also a bit of a coward sometimes, Carrie is one of my friends here on the island but Devin can distract her sometimes, so my only options left are Ellody and Duncan." "Ellody is smart so she's a perfect ally and Duncan is tough a perfect mix of brains and brawn."

Ellody comes back to the cabin and Sky sees her "Ellody could you come with me and Duncan to discuss some stuff."

Ellody follows her "Okay."

The three of them are in the woods. Duncan asks "Okay what do you want?"

Ellody says "Yes I am quite curious as well though with this setting of privacy I believe that you wish to propose an alliance."

Sky responds "Yes that's exactly what I wanna do I don't know about you guys, but Alejandro does feel like a good guy to me ever since Tyler was eliminated."

Ellody says "Now that you mention it Tyler didn't seem like such an intelligent guy who could try and turn against Alejandro and pin the oar burning on him."

Duncan says "So what you're saying is that Alejandro is some manipulative guy who likes to play dirty."

Sky shrugs "It's a hunch but I think so that's why I want to form an alliance with the two of you so when the merge comes we can help stop Alejandro before he can get too powerful." "So what do you guys say will you join forces with me against him?"

Ellody answers "I would love to join in an alliance if it helps dismantle a villain's game."

Duncan sighs "Fine I'll join, but only because I don't like competition I'm the only bad boy on this island."

The camera focuses on a tree nearby with Alejandro behind it he smiles evilly.

Alejandro confession "So they wish to band against me well I guess I know my new targets." "They will all fall in my grand scheme and I shall win this game they will not know what hit them."

Chef's voice comes on the intercom "LISTEN UP YOU LITTLE COCKROACHES I WANT ALL CAMPERS TO REPORT TO THE DOCK OF SHAME AT O'900 HOURS!" Everyone looks confused and then he yells "THAT MEANS NOW!" Everyone runs off in separate directions to the Dock of Shame.

Chef is wearing a military outfit and holds up a megaphone "LINE UP AND STAND AT ATTENTION!" "YOU CALL THIS PROPER FORMATION!" He starts to hit them with what looks like a pool que "FEET TOGETHER, ARMS DOWN, EYES FORWARD, HEAD UP."

Gwen whispers to Devin "This is gonna be a fun day."

Chef hears it and yells into the megaphone in her face "WHAT DID YOU SAY TO ME SOLDIER?!"

Gwen now slightly afraid "Um nothing."

Chef continues with the yelling in her face "AND YOU WILL CONTINUE TO SAY NOTHING UNTIL I TELL YOU THAT YOU CAN SAY SOMETHING!" He continues with his explanation "TODAY'S CHALLNEGE WILL NOT BE AN EASY ONE IN FACT I DO NOT EXPECT EVERYONE TO COME OUT ALIVE!"

Geoff chuckles and Chef hits him with the pool que "Ow okay dude I won't chuckle."

Chef continues with his explanation "MY ORDERS ARE TO MAKE SURE THAT ALL THE BABIES IN FRONT OF ME DROP OUT OF MY BOOT CAMP EXCEPT ONE THE LAST ONE STANDING WINS IMMUNITY FOR THEIR TEAM!"

Heather asks "What happened to Chris?"

Chef starts giving out the rules "RULE NUMBER ONE YOU WILL ADDRESS ME AS MASTER CHIEF HAVE YOU GOT THAT?!"

Everyone except Duncan says in unison "Yes master chief!"

Chef continues to yell at them "YOU WILL SLEEP WHEN I TELL YOU TO SLEEP AND YOU WILL EAT ONLY WHEN I TELL YOU EAT IS THAT CLEAR!?"

Geoff answers "Yes master chief."

Chef yells into the megaphone "WHEN YOU ARE READY TO GIVE UP YOU WALK TO THE END AND RING THE BELL!" "WHICH BRINGS ME FO RULE NUMBER THREE LET'S GET ONE QUITTER BEFORE THE END OF THE FIRST DAY AND THAT DAY WILL NOT END UNTIL SOMEONE DROPS OUT!" "GET YOUR BUTTS DOWN TO THE BEACH SOLDIERS NOW NOW NOW!"

Everyone begins to run to the beach.

Gwen confession "Okay whoever's sick twisted idea this was to put him in charge of this challenge I have to say I'm a little bit impressed."

Chef without his megaphone says "Each team must hold a canoe over their head I catch you take your hands off the canoe and you will be eliminated and no one eats lunch until someone drops out canoes up!"

Emma says annoyed "Great this is annoying, but let's just hope that this is over soon hopefully from someone on the Bass."

Brick says "I don't know why you're so ticked off this is my kind of challenge probably this whole day is filled with my kind of challenges."

Emma rolls her eyes "You only like this because you're a military freak just like Chef."

Chef heard that "What was that solider?"

Emma slightly scared "Nothing um master chief sir."

The scene advances for a few hours Leshawna's stomach growls.

Chef yells out "Come on you sisses it's only been three hours."

Chris now appears and says "Looks like they missed lunch today."

Chef nods his head "Mm-hmmm guess they just weren't hungry unless someone just wants to quit now."

The camera pans out showing that Chef is on top of the Bass canoe and Chris is on top of the Gopher canoe.

Brick's stomach growls now and he talks of himself "I've had worse I can go without eating longer test your boundaries solider."

Geoff is behind Bridgette and Geoff decides to do something big "Um hey Bridge I know that we've gotten to know each other for awhile and I was wondering that maybe after the show is over we could go out on a date?"

Bridgette chuckles "You asking me out here it's kinda cute, but sure I'd love to when the challenge is over I'll give you my number and we can talk more about that date."

Duncan behind both of them says annoyed at first and then sarcastic in the end "Okay enough with the lovey dovey stuff you're dating now that's so amazing."

Bridgette says "Oh please Duncan you may not be a lovey dovey kinda person but I know a certain person on the other team who I know you've been eyeing."

Duncan confession he scoffs "I am not in love with Gwen I mean she's cute and funny, but I think she's just a friend nothing more." He looks lovingly up for a second and then shakes his head "Again just a friend."

It cuts to the middle of the night Chef is sitting in a lounge chair and just finished a story "Twenty-five of us went in the jungle that night only five of us came back out."

Gwen yawns "What war were you in anyway?"

Chef yells "Did I ask you to speak because I don't remember asking you to speak?!"

Gwen rolls her eyes "Whatever he so wasn't in a war."

Lindsey now exhausted takes her hands off the canoe "Guy I can't do this anymore." "I have no more feeling in my arms."

She walks over to the Dock of Shame and Chef happy with himself "Looks like we got ourselves a quitter."

Mike yells out "No Lindsey we could win I see Carrie's arms starting to struggle."

Devin yells out "Dude!"

Mike defensively says "What I know she's your best friend or love interest whatever you guys are it's just that she's on the other team."

They look over to see Lindsey hit her head on the bell. The Gophers can't stand it anymore now that they have to carry Lindsey's weight and the canoe falls on their heads. The Bass happily take their canoe and throw it on the ground.

Some comfort music is played and Chef starts to comfort her "Listen you have nothing to be ashamed of (he gets out his megaphone out again and is less comforting) except being a little baby that let her team down!" He turns to the others "As for the rest of you head to the Mess Hall dinner is served!"

The camera goes to outside the Mess Hall Chef's voice is heard "Alright maggots open your ears you've got ten minutes to eat before night training begins so get to it."

Everyone begins to groan and complain about night training.

Gwen asks "Um excuse me Master Chief where's the food?"

Chef motions to some trash cans "You're looking at it."

Devin looks inside the trash can "Um Master Chief isn't this just the leftovers from this morning's breakfast with a little more disgustingness from the other garbage?"

Chef answers "Darn right while you're at war you take what you can get."

Brick takes some of the garbage in his hand and eats it "Now that is the stuff the chef back at my base gave me some of this for a week and I grew a more of liking to this stuff." He takes some more in his mouth and swallows.

Heather looks at him with disgust and gags "Ew that is awful you are so disgusting."

Brick holds some up to her "Come on Heather you haven't eaten since breakfast have some food."

Heather runs out to the porch and you hear her vomiting she comes back inside a little doozy. She walks back to her team still grossed out with what they have to eat.

Chris tells Chef "Well I can see you've got this under control I'm off to craft services coming."

Chef follows him "Serve me up some o' dat."

Alejandro picks something up "This is horrendous I refuse to eat this my body is a temple that will not be defiled by this filth."

Ellody tells him "Suck it up you already eat Chef's food in the morning you can stand eating this."

Alejandro glares at her "I said I refuse so I do I'll just go sit down."

He sits on the table next to Heather's table. Heather looks up in disgust "Ew gross first I have to look at that food and now I have to look at your hideous mug."

Alejandro flashes her a smile "Oh please I know you can't resist me."

Heather plants her face back on the table "If I don't look at you maybe I throw up again, also drop dead I'm still not interested in you."

Alejandro still smiling "And you still mistake my wordplay for flirting."

Carrie sits down to "Sorry guys, but I can't eat it either I don't think I have the stomach for it."

Duncan has a tray of trash and goes over to Gwen "Hey Pasty want to sit next to me I don't think you're team would mind?"

Gwen smiles "Sure let's go sit next to each other."

Gwen confession "Okay so I think me and Duncan are warming up to each other I still don't know if we can call each other a thing yet, but I'm hoping we do soon."

A beatbox goes off and Chef is dancing on the beach and everyone is copying his dance moves. They continues doing it for a few minutes until Duncan turns off the radio.

Ellody looks over to his teammate "Duncan what are you doing we're doing a challenge?"

Duncan ignores her and he tells Chef "One of us drops out for the day and we're done right?"

Chef yells back to him "We're done when I say you're done now drop and give me 20."

Duncan rolls his eyes and starts doing his push-ups.

Chef looks at everyone and yells back "Anyone else got anything they want to say?!"

Gwen asks "Um yeah could I go to the bathroom?"

The goes to Gwen in the bathroom with a mop and bucket "Not exactly what I had in mind."

Everyone is back in the Mess Hall Chef is in the middle explaining the challenge "For your next challenge you will complete a 300 word essay about how much you me, anyone who falls asleep or fails or complete the challenge will be eliminated."

The clock that no one has ever seen before goes a half and hour later and a buzzer goes off.

Heather has bags under her eyes while Brick doesn't look like he's lost a lot of energy. Chef then starts to take their essays he then reads one out "I love Master Chief because he is very very very very very very very very very very very very very (he gets quieter and quieter after each very) this is just one sentence with five pages of very in between."

Duncan still looks tired, but answers smugly "It's 300 words exactly you can count them if you want."

Devin and DJ are revealed to have fallen asleep Chef slams his hand on the table waking them both up "You two slackers are out." "The rest of you get to bed and report to the playing field at o'500 hours!"

Duncan holds up a washcloth "Uh-huh you missed a spot there general."

Chef gets in his face "Boy do you want to run 50 laps around this camp right now?"

Ellody grabs him by his shoulders "No he doesn't he'll just go to bed." She whispers to his ear "Duncan if we want to go after Alejandro later we can't have you mess things up so just stay quiet and think of Gwen so she can motivate you not to eliminate yourself."

Chef explains the next challenge "You will all run this course until you all completed it in under one minute am I making myself clear."

Duncan sighs "Crystal."

Chef yells to all of them "Go maggots go!"

They all then start run the course Leshawna gets stuck on the wall and then through the tires Heather and Sky jump straight through them.

Geoff crawls on the mud to avoid three swinging battle axes above him Leshawna crawls right behind him looking completely scared for her life.

Gwen and Sky grab a rope and swing off of it to an adjacent platform.

Mike falls off a ramp and it looks like he starts to throw up mud Emma gets Chef's attention "Hey Master Chief we got a little bit of a gross situation here."

Chef tells him "Report to the infirmary your tour of duty is finished."

Mike crawls away looking sick Emma says with concern "Well that was unfortunate."

Chef yells at her "Get back on the course maggot one false move and I behold you like a stick on a poop wagon."

Emma says with disgust "Gross." He glares at her and she runs off.

Leshawna is sinking in the mud and Duncan says "I salute you fallen solider."

He moves in front of Chef's boot he yells to him "You just bought yourself 20 more push-ups!"

Duncan says "Thank you."

He then kisses Chef's nose and Chef starts to look extremely angry Geoff says to him "Um I think you kinda pushed him over the edge bro."

Duncan now actually looking afraid "I think you're right."

Chef says with deep anger in his voice "One night solitary confinement in the Boathouse."

Everyone gasps hearing that.

Duncan slightly less afraid "Big deal how scary can it be?"

It cuts to the boathouse showing a big hook and a shark head with its mouth open and I think a I think it's a piranha in a barrel. Duncan is sitting on a crate and sighs "Should have kept my big mouth shut." A wolf's howl is heard as the camera goes to black.

Gwen is sitting at the Gopher table with Chef's normal cooking. Gwen gets up "I'm gonna go check up on Duncan."

Zoey asks her "Gwen you like Duncan don't you?"

Gwen tries to brush it off while trying to hide a blush "What no I don't like him I mean I like him, but I don't like like him like that."

Zoey says "Since you said like so much in that sentence I'm pretty sure you do like him." "Go ahead though I'm sure he'd be happy to see a friendly face."

Gwen approaches the boathouse with her bowl still in hand and a flashlight in her other hand. "Hello Duncan you still in here?"

Duncan has a broom in hand and throws it when he sees her "Pasty glad you could join me here."

Gwen chuckles "Whatever you say Punk Rock."

Duncan asks her "So what are you doing here?"

Gwen holds out the bowl to him "I got you some dinner."

Duncan says "No thanks I'll stick with the bait."

Gwen sits down on the crate "Sorry Chef wouldn't give us anything more after our pathetic performance on the obstacle course." Duncan holds up the food by the spoon with no falling and Gwen asks him "Hey Duncan what was that whole thing about with Chef I mean I know punk rock bad boys like you like to challenge authority, but even I can say you went a little too far?"

Duncan shrugs "Eh I just like to mess with people, hey Pasty how about we ditch this place for some peanut butter and jelly?"

Gwen gets up "Sure I'd love to after a long time of eating Chef's cooking all summer I think some real food would be perfect." "The only question is though where would we get the reps food?"

Duncan smiles "Well I know where to find it if you don't mind stealing it from our egotistical host and his sidekick you in?"

Gwen smiles "Sure I'd love to just don't get us caught okay Punk Rock."

The scene goes to the craft service tent Gwen and Duncan are using two fake bushes as cover.

Inside the tent they crawl by the side Duncan whispers "Slowly slowly crawl."

You hear Chef telling that story from before "25 of us went inside only five of us made it out."

They find a nearby duffle bag Gwen holds it open while Duncan starts taking food from the fridge and puts it inside the bag. Gwen says "Remember don't get us caught okay."

They hear Chris's voice "I mean come on I am nothing without my stubble."

Chef says "Amen brother."

Duncan asks "Are you still sure you wanna go through with this?"

Gwen smiles at him "Of course I like hanging out with you and this is one of the most fun things I've done since I got here." She takes a fish out from the bag and puts it on Chris's dessert platter where his cookies and doughnuts "A present from all the campers who have ever stepped foot in here and had to deal with Chris and Chef."

Duncan takes a pan of brownies as the two make their escape.

In the Gophers cabin the Gophers and Bass are enjoying the stolen food Gwen with food in her mouth "What was with all those war stories he is so demented?"

Leshawna enjoying some potato chips "Girl these nails weren't meant for combat know what I'm saying."

Bridgette chimes in after taking a bite of an ice cream sandwich "Seriously if I wanted to join the army I would have."

Ellody takes another ice cream sandwich "Mmm I love these things they taste amazing and chocolatey."

Gwen and Duncan look at each other and go out to the patio. Gwen smiles at him "You know this great night wouldn't have been possible without you."

Duncan smiles back at her "Hey this was a two person job and you were amazing and I didn't get us caught and neither did you."

Gwen gets closer to Duncan "I'm glad that we could do this together I don't think I would've done something like that without you Punk Rock."

Duncan puts his hand on her cheek "I'm glad I could push you to do something outside your comfort zone Pasty."

The two stare at each looking into each other's eyes and then they embrace in a kiss.

When their lips separate Gwen asks "So um would you be open into making this a relationship more then friends?"

Duncan smiles "Yeah I'd like that."

She hugs him "Alright I'm gonna go back inside and enjoy some food."

When she's about to go back inside Chef comes on the intercoms "Attention remaining recruits the next evolution of your training begins tomorrow morning at o'700 hours." "If I catch the sucker who took my dessert your butt is mine!"

Everyone has their feet hanging from a tree branch Chef says "What you're experiencing is an ancient form of torture by now the blood has begun rushing to your head the next stage is nausea followed by dizziness and a flushed appearance the blood gets to pool your eyes you may experience fainting spells."

Sky falls out of the tree after that Bridgette goes and checks on him "It's okay she's alright."

Everyone starts using their hands to hold them up Leshawna tries reaching for hers and falls in the process "Ow sometimes I can't stand this show."

Heather chuckles "Bye Leshawna." Heather lets her hands go and loses her balance and falls on the ground.

Leshawna laughs at her "Now that is hilarious." She calls up to the tree "Gwen girl Brick win this for the Gophers okay."

Ellody and Geoff are trying to hold themselves up on the Bass side while Gwen and Brick are on the Gophers side.

Gwen boasts "Yeah I can hang here all day."

Brick boasts as well "I can to I mean I used to do this exercise when I played on the monkey bars back in elementary school."

Geoff says happily "Rock on dudes I live for the head rush it feels so good." The head rush was too much for him to handle and he falls out of the tree.

Alejandro looks at them from a distance and forms a plan for his team to win he smiles evilly imagining how it will succeed.

The scene goes to Alejandro stealing an intern's outfit and putting on a hat to cover his eyes he goes inside the crafts tent and takes a slingshot with Chris's name ingraved in it he takes a jar of peanut butter and takes them.

He goes all the way back to the tree and sees all three of them still holding their own he whispers to himself "Where there is trees there is bound to be squirrels?" He uses the slingshot to shoot the peanut butter on Gwen and Brick landing each hit. "Thank you childhood for my slingshot skills."

Gwen alarmed at what hit her "Ew what is this stuff?" She sniffs herself "Peanut butter where did this come form?"

Brick now has a tone of fear "Um I don't mean to alarm you Gwen, but I see squirrels that look hungry."

They both look up and see the squirrels they both fall out of the tree and run as a group of squirrels chase after them. Alejandro smirks.

Alejandro confession "I could have gotten rid of Ellody and possibly get her eliminated, but perhaps that would be too suspicious." "So instead I went after Gwen and Brick people of the opposing team also I hated losing so much anyway so I needed to do some well thought out sabotage and of course no one will suspect me because I wasn't supposed to be anywhere near the challenge zone." "Now I just need to return this intern outfit it really needs to be put in the in the wash though."

Heather yells out at Chef "Someone cheated for the Bass how else would honey get on them!"

Chef tells her "The Bass still win because in war all tactics that ensure victory can be used there are no rules to combat on a battlefield."

Ellody gets down from the tree and Chef salutes her "Ellody congratulations solider I'd go to war with you anytime."

Ellody says "I'll keep that in mind if I every chose to devote my brain to helping with wars."

Chef sounding teary-eyed "You do that solider you do that." Chef sheds a single tear as the Bass minus Alejandro,Sky, Geoff celebrate." (Sky and Geoff because they're still recovering from the head rush.)

Now at the elimination ceremony Chris is holding a plate of marshmallows "I only have 8 marshmallows on my plate and these marshmallows represent the campers who will continue to be campers here." "You've all cast your ballots in the confession if I do not call your name you must immediately go down to the Dock of Shame catch the Boat of Losers and go home and you can't come back ever."

"The people who receive a marshmallow today are Emma, Zoey, Mike, Devin, Heather, Leshawna, and Gwen."

"Lindsey you're on the chopping block for giving up first and Brick as for you well today you did not help your team win in the end and you ate garbage like it was nothing both impressive and gross dude." "However the last marshmallow goes to Lindsey." "Brick sorry dude, but your time here is up."

Brick turns to the others "Guy how could you vote me off I've been a team player since day 1?"

Gwen says "I voted for Lindsey I didn't vote for you."

Everyone else continues to mutters similar stuff about not voting for him.

Brick confused asks "If most of you didn't vote for me then how am I getting eliminated?"

Chris tries to hurry up the elimination "Yeah yeah it was always a shock to everyone now time to head out solider."

Chris snaps his fingers and Chef comes out from the crowd "Come on off to the Dock."

Brick holds his head down in sadness as he follows Chef and leaves the island.

Heather is roasting her marshmallow by the fire then the confession triggers. It shows her using a kitchen knife to pry open the ballot box "Let's see since my team was sabotaged I believe I should use my own brand of sabotage on my loser teammates." "I have so many options but who do I hate the most." She grabs the votes and switches them with her own "I warned Brick that if he opposed me he'd regret it besides out of everyone I hate here he's the biggest physical threat on the team I won't miss him at all."

Heather smirks at the camera holding up her burnt marshmallow "Everyone who crosses me will eventually get payback that they won't see coming first Staci and now Brick this was just the beginning of my revenge plan." "There are still so many more people who deserve payback here." She blows out the fire on her burnt marshmallow "I'm about to turn this game upside down." The camera turns to black with her evil smile being shown in the last shot.

Wow that took longer to write then I thought, but now I won't have to care about this episode anymore I was so busy with school, but hopefully I'll be uploading the next chapter quicker then it took to release this one. Brick is one of my favorites, but it was his time to go and what time to go would be more perfect then in a military themed challenge. I'll see you next time Drama Fans ten merge is getting closer and closer to happening.
