Episode 11 - Even The Number, You Break The Odds
...
It was late at night and the final 4 were having a dinner together with Chris and Chef. The butlers had served them turkey, chicken, vegetables, fruits, and nice drinks as well. Everyone seemed to be happy, laughing, smiling, and enjoying the fine dining.
"Guys...let's have a toast! A toast to making the final 4! We're all good!" Smith cheered, tapping her glass with Andy, Chris, and Chef, "I'm gonna make it all the way to the top!"
Elias chuckled and mumbled to himself, "Please..." Alexandra lightly punches his shoulder, making him laugh, "Come on Alexandra...take a laugh for once..."
Alexandra whispered back, "No...just...okay whatever...but we gotta talk later about alliances...alright?" Elias nodded at her request, and he left to put his food away.
Chris and Chef started signing Smith's piece of tissue as an autograph, "Always nice to know someone cares about me!"
Smith chuckled, "Really? What...everyone cares about you? You did make this show up, after all?!"
Chris sighs, "I know but...I just feel like going to jail for so long it's...hurt my mojo, you know? And I feel like I can't perform at the same level that I used to...being that awesome host everyone loves!"
"You can be awesome again,...and honestly," Smith says, whispering to Chris, "I like you better than Manny...you're way more cooler! You'll get this show back soon, I promise you that!" Smith leaves Chris, who seems happy at her encouragement.
The final 4 were now in either Alexandra or Andy's room, talking and preparing to go to bed for the next challenge. In Alexandra's room, Alexandra had just finished taking a shower, and was walking to her closet outside the bathroom. Elias had noticed, and they both laughed.
"Ew! Get that away from me, just change in the bathroom! I'm thinking here and I don't want distractions!" Elias, who was sitting on the floor, laid down on the floor, "I'm so tired."
"Then sleep!" Alexandra says, drying her hair and putting on clean underwear, "But at the same time...don't...I wanna talk to you about something..." She had finished dressing up after a bit and sat next to Elias, "Anyways...I was thinking of allying with Smith to get Andy out so we have less strong people in the final 3."
Elias nodded and said, "Smart...but...aren't you strong? Wouldn't make sense to ally with Smith, who doesn't seem to be doing anything interesting at all!"
"Yeah, but she seems more loyal. Haven't you heard what people said? She isn't really here for the money meaning she'll be an easy person to take to the final 3 with us and an easy person to eliminate at the end! Easy!" Alexandra lightly hit Elias in the head, "Don't you get it?"
"Um no...Andy is more athletic, so he could help us win the challenge, leaving Smith out, then together, we'll take out Andy!" Elias made a sarcastic face at Alexandra, "Come on girl, we're at the final 4, and we're really the only strategic alliance left! Go with my plan! My plans seem to work out better!"
Alexandra seemed offended, "Which plans?"
"When I hit Jerome and got him and Sera out! Maybe there were some others but I forgot...just listen to me! My plan is better! Smith will be an easy outer and Andy could be a one-challenge stand!" Elias got up and left, "Be real here, Alexandra!"
Alexandra: (CONF.) Now that almost all the evil is gone from the show, except from Chris and Chef, I have to focus on the game, but I just want to show that I'm being strategic! Yeah, Elias is the smarter one out of us two but...isn't having Smith on our side to eliminate bigger competition like Andy a good idea?
Elias: (CONF.) There are 4 people left with 2 alliances, so it's game time! And, I need to make sure that Alexandra understands what she's trying to do! Smith seems easy to eliminate! Andy is not! And it's better to take out Smith now then have her randomly win in the end!
...
It was the next morning now, and the final 4 were going about their day, preparing themselves for the challenge.
The first scene was of Andy and Smith, who were listening to rock music in a leisurely way.
"Ooh! I like that one! Pick that one!" Andy said.
Smith chuckled, "We'll do it after the song playing right now!" She started looking down her catalogue, "There's so much stuff on this...dang..."
Andy: (CONF.) It feels nice having a friend who shares interests with mine! Smith's cool...even though she doesn't do much to help our alliance but...we gotta stick together!
Eventually, Smith had left to go to the bathroom, leaving Andy on his own. But, he wasn't alone for too long because Elias came out of nowhere to talk to Andy, "What's up Andy! What's going on?"
Andy felt uncomfortable with someone new, but shrugged, "Good, I guess. You?"
"Pretty great, I've made it this far, right? So cool!" Elias looked out to the ocean, "You know who I don't like?"
"Who?"
"Smith," Elias looked to Andy, who seemed even more uncomfortable, "I don't know what it is with her she just...irks me, you know?! She's so...lazy, and she's made it this far! I mean...I'm not athletic, unlike you and Alexandra, but at least I'm keeping my alliances steady! Don't you agree?"
Andy thought for a second and shrugged, "I guess...you have a point..."
Elias smiled, "Alright...then how about you ally with me and Alexandra...and take out Smith, someone who really has nothing going in for her right now...right? A'int that good?" Elias then walked off, "It'll be good for you Andy...don't you want to win?"
Andy: (CONF.) What was Elias trying to do to me?! I'm so confused because I don't want to betray Smith but at the same time Elias has a point and I'm just like what...even...ow!"
Now, everyone was seated on a bench, ready to watch something on the large TV that Chef pulled out.
"Today, to commemorate you guys making it this far, we've asked special people in your life to send a video message to you guys...and we're starting with Andy! Play it Chef!" Chris pointed to Chris, who turned the TV on.
"Crap..." Andy moaned top himself, making Smith laugh.
"Mom: Andrew, I am glad to see you made it far! But remember son, number 1 is the goal. And your father coul-
Father: YOU MADE AN ALLIANCE WITH A GIRL CADET? AND SHES MAKING YOU DO THINGS? I swear if you don't make it to the last round, you're not only gonna lose, but you'll lose my respect, boy.
Mom: Now honey, I understand you're mad but-
Father: Oh shut up, Elise. You're the only reason the boy is sentimental and crap. Just go do some more recruiting and leave the drill Sargeant to his work.
Mom: Ok we're done here.
Father: Remember Andy, anything but 2nd."
Andy sighed, "Wow..." Everyone seemed a bit uncomfortable at the message that Andy received.
"Okay," Chris said, "Now we'll go to Alexandra's parents!" Chef pressed a button, showing off a Russian dad and French mother on a couch.
Nikolai: (Russian accent) Hello my girl, I'm proud of how far you went into this season, although I hate that мудак, but still I'm happy you made this far. Я люблю тебя мой сладкий ангел.
Sherry: (French Accent) Hi my daughter, congratulations on being within the final 4. Je t'aime mon doux ange."
Alexandra smiled, "Yay...love you guys!" She waves at the screen, with Elias following her. Then, Chef turned to a message to Elias.
It was a boy named Jack, who was at a basketball court with his friends, "Sup bro! Good job for making it without me, considering the fact that you really can't do anything without me, just saying! Anyways...good luck!" Elias rolls his eyes at his brother, making Alexandra laugh at him.
"You had that kind of brother?!" she asks.
Elias nods and laughs, "Yeah..."
Then, Smith got her video. It was her parents, Vanessa and Liam, who were congratulating her on her achievements.
Liam, sporting a red flannel and jeans with his waist-length brown hair pulled back, smiles with a bigger woman with tan skin and shoulder length brown hair sitting next to him on their beat-up red couch, waving as well.
"'Ey, baby girl!" Liam exclaims, "Can't believe ya made it this far!" He smiles sheepishly, "No, really, I didn't think ya would. I bet Ken, 'ere, that ya wouldn't last two weeks, but look 'atcha now!"
Kendra good-naturedly rolls her eyes and swats Liam on the arm playfully. "Jeez, Li, they said words of encouragement, not betting confessions." She grins at the camera. "Though, I did win twenty bucks, Smith, so when ya come home, we're getting a whole buncha junk food!"
Liam smiles. "I'm proud of ya, baby, ya keep doin' you and have fun! Ya already made us proud."
Kendra grins. "And bring home a nice boy with ya, ya hear?"
They wave. "Bye, Smith!" Liam calls out. "We love ya!"
"And good luck!" Kendra adds.
Smith cheered, "Yay! Love you guys too!" She gave air-kisses to them.
Chris then started walking over to a canoe, "Okay, everyone head up onto a canoe to do our next challenge!" Then, everyone went off.
...
At the island called 'Tame The Animal Island' was where they were going to have their challenge. They eyed a pen filled with an assortment of animals, and Chris arrived with a sack of cards, "Okay, for today's challenge, everyone must put their hand into this bag and get a card of an animal...once you get your animal, you must train your animal in whatever talent it has, and then, show it off! Whoever has the animal with the worst talent will be instantly eliminated! So..pick in the bag!"
Smith put her hand in, "A pigeon! What..." she says, walking away. Andy picked out a picture of a dog, and was happy about the results. Alexandra took out a picture of a bear, and Elias took out a parrot. Now, they were ready to go into the pen to fetch and train their animals.
Chris held up his horn and blew it, "GO!" and they were off.
...
The final 4 went into the pen, and started going after their animals.
"Get here! Get here you cute little bird!" Smith said to the scared-looking bird. But, it started flying away, causing Smith to start chasing after it and jumping up and down to catch the bird, which was all over the place.
The camera went over to Alexandra, who realized that the bear she was supposed to catch was the bear that she had thrown into the sky in the last challenge. The bear seemed extremely mad at her, and started chasing her, "AHH! HELP! FUCK, what do I do?! Elias!" She went over to Elias, who had caught his parrot already., "Help!"
Elias screamed and started running off, "Not my problem! I got a parrot to care for!" Alexandra groaned and caught the bear, trying her best to calm the bear. Using her smartness, she simply looks at the bear's eyes, trying to calm down with it. A few seconds later, Alexandra had calmed the bear down, and the bear seemed extremely happy with her. When she was done, she went over to Chris, and showed off her bear and realizing that everyone else had found their animals without hurting themselves.
"Well, good job! Now...let's get real...you all have 30 minutes to find a talent that your animal possess and showcase it off in front of everyone! Y'all know the drill, GO!" Then, the final 4 go off to start working on their animals.
The scene goes off to Alexandra and Elias, who are working together with their animals. Alexandra seemed to be doing well with her bear, teaching it to catch fish she found by the ocean, but Elias was having trouble.
"Come on parrot...say...'hello!'" Elias yelled.
"NO!" the parrot answered, making Elias groan and Alexandra laugh out loudly.
"That parrot sure is a nice one..." Alexandra says, patting the bear.
Elias smiles, "Yeah, tell me about it." He turns to the parrot to work with it, but notices Andy caring for his dog, but Andy was looking back at Elias as well. Elias made a face telling Andy to know whether he was going to do anything or not, but Andy shrugged and looked away.
Andy: (CONF.) What is Elias...urrg...I...I...I really don't know what to do right now...uh...um...
A whole montage was shown, where Alexandra, Elias, Smith, and Andy were practicing with their animals. Some funny clips, such as the dog attacking Andy, the parrot trying to fly away from Elias, the pigeon not focusing on Smith's demands, and Alexandra boxing with the bear, then, it was time to present it in front of Chris and Chef with an amphitheater set for them.
"Okay, time to show it off! Let's see what you guys did for your animals!" Chris yelled, "Let's start with Alexandra!"
Alexandra came up on stage with her bear, looking happy, "Okay bear...catch the fish!" She started throwing the fish in the air, and the bear jumped into the air, catching them all successfully. Then, the bear starts running around and jumping through hoops that Alexandra had laid out. Soon, glitter fell from the sky, giving off a cool, pretty finish to Alexandra's show. Everyone clapped, and Alexandra and her bear left the stage.
Next up was Andy, who started doing cool tricks with his dog. He fetched a stick, he jumped through hoops, and started following Andy's directions such as sitting, rolling over, and much much more.
Then, Elias came up to the stage with his parrot. At first, Elias started asking the parrot some jokes that he had come up with, but the parrot continued to not follow Elias's directions, and kept saying mean things to Elias, making him even more annoyed. After many failed attempts, Elias walked off the stage in anger, and then Smith came out to perform her act.
The pigeon she had began by eating some food that Smith was throwing in the air. Then Smith, out of nowhere, got large sticks and started tricks with them. She pulled out a lighter, and lit the sticks on fire, shocking everyone. Then, she threw them in the air, and made the pigeon dance around it, making everyone fearful of whether or not the pigeon would get killed. But, it didn't, and Smith caught the flaming sticks with ease, only to let go of them when she felt the heat on her hands, "Ow... well... there ya go!"
Chris started cheering, along with everyone else, "Thanks Smith...well, now that we're done...time to see who won!...

Elias! Yep, let's head back to the island to send you home!"
Elias gasped in horror, looking to Alexandra, who was shocked and upset at his elimination.
...
(Elimination Ceremony)
Everyone had made it back to the island, and Chris had finally finished up the canoe, "Alright Elias...you and your...dumb parrot can make on its way now!" Chris walked backwards and pointed at the canoe, "Looks comfy!"
Elias sighed and gave Alexandra a hug, "Good luck. I'm rooting for ya." He then started going off to the canoe, leaving Alexandra in almost tears. Then, Elias went up to Andy's ears and whispered something to him, making him blush in embarrassment. Elias jumped into the canoe, and sailed away.
"What was Elias saying to ya?" Smith asked to Andy, curious.
Andy shook his head, "Nothing... just a good luck..."
Smith was surprised, "Really? And he didn't say it to me?" she walked away.
Chris turned to the camera, "Well, only 3 remain, and things could not get any fierce! How will things go down in the penultimate episode of this season? Find out next time on Total...Drama...Melanesia!"
...
That was a rushed challenge...
Anyways, Elias had received the least amount of votes, and was therefore eliminated (he got only 2). Now, there is a new poll that shows the final 3. There, you need to pick who YOU want to have in the final 2, so vote!
