"How could you do that to me! You're such an ogre!" Courtney was chasing a laughing Duncan across the campground. She hadn't forgotten that Duncan had tricked her in the last challenge."When I catch you, you're so going to get it!"

Duncan flashed her a cocky smile over his shoulder. "That's if you can catch me, Princess!"

The rest of the contestants were not quite as energetic as them. They were lounging around the campground, waiting for that night's ceremony.

"I'm kind of amazed that Chris let us take the rest of the day off, eh." Ezekiel told Sadie.

In fact, Chris had let them take the rest of the day off because he was talking to the producers about an idea he had that would cause the campers more pain and misery.

Justin, Katie, Sadie, and Ezekiel were sitting on the steps of the old Screaming Gophers cabin. Ezekiel was accumulating more and more bruises as Sadie dropped more unsubtle hints about Justin and Katie getting together. After Sadie elbowed him to shut him up for the tenth time, he decided to leave before he got hurt any more.

"I'm going to the bathroom, eh" he announced.

"I'll come with you!" Sadie stood up.

"To the bathroom?" he asked incredulously.

She rolled her eyes at his cluelessness and stalked off. Ezekiel chased after her.

After the two had left, Katie started to laugh. "She's so not subtle!"

Justin smiled and Katie fought the urge to drool. "Yep, that's not one of her strong points." Justin was suddenly distracted by his image in a puddle on the floor. "I'm so… so… beautiful!"

Katie sighed. "Earth to Justin! Come back to us, Justin!" Justin tore his gaze away from the puddle. "Did you say something, Katie?"

"Still a narcissist, I see."

"Well, it's not like I could get over it that fast. I'm trying!"

A few months ago, at the Playa de Losers

"Umm, Katie," Justin started to dig a hole in the beach sand with his foot. "I think I like you."

"That's nice," Katie's brain realized what he had said. "Wait, what? Like, like-like?"

"Yeah."

Katie looked at him skeptically. "I don't believe it."

Justin face showed his shock clearly. "Why?"

"You're such a narcissist! You only love yourself. Why do you think all those other girls you dated dumped you?"

Justin pleaded with her. "Is there any way you would date me?"

"Yeah. Prove you're not a narcissist anymore."

"Katie!" Sadie and Ezekiel ran towards them. Sadie glomped onto Katie. "I missed you so much!"

Katie laughed. "You only went to get a snack!"

Ezekiel noticed Justin's depressed face. "You okay, eh?"

Eva looked at the note in her hand.

Come meet me on top of the cliff at 8.

"Who is this from?" she wondered. "It better not be Ezekiel. Even if that twerp apologized for being sexist, he might have not actually changed!"

Eva walked on, oblivious to the fact that she was being watched. She arrived at the top of the cliff and saw Jacob sitting at the edge of it with his feet dangling over the edge. He turned.

"Hey, Eva!"

"Wh-why did you write this note?" she sputtered.

"Oh, I wanted to get to know you better. Want to sit?" He gestured next to him. Eva sat next to him hesitantly.

"How's Total Drama Virtual treating you?" he asked.

"Fine," she answered stonily.

"You like it here?"

"Yes."

"Afraid of anyone?" he said suggestively.

Eva face registered her shock. "How did you know about that?"

"I know a lot about you, Eva. Especially how you really like Ezekiel."

Eva gasped and blushed at the same time. "That's not true!" she claimed. "How could I like that sexist twerp!"

"Eva, you know he changed."

"Well, I don't have to admit it!" She noticed that Jacob was staring at her face. "What are you looking at?"

"Oh! I'm sorry I was staring. You're really pretty when you're angry."

Eva blushed again and raised her eyebrows skeptically. "You really think so?"

"Yeah." They sat in silence for a moment. "So who are you voting for?"

Eva snorted. "Courtney, of course! She was so bossy during the challenge but got herself killed because she trusted her stupid criminal boyfriend! That's why having a boyfriend in this competition is stupid. You get all mushy and weak."

"Having a boyfriend is not all bad, Eva."

Eva suddenly realized how close Jacob was sitting to her and blushed for the third time in the last few minutes.

Gwen passed Eva in the forest as she headed up to the cliff. She looked at the note that Jacob had given her and wondered why exactly Jacob wanted to talk to her. She was so oblivious to her surroundings that she missed a pair of eyes, watching her from the bushes.

"Wait! Maybe he wants an answer to what he asked me before!"Gwen thought. "I don't know what I'll do? I'm not sure if I've broken up with Trent. That fight we had was pretty huge. He hasn't talked to me since. Maybe he's decided that we're broken up! Wait, I'm not actually considering going out with Jacob am I? I barely know the guy! No, Gwen, you just have to go up there and politely decline. Yep, just tell him no. All you have to say is 'I'm sorry, but no'."

Gwen's thoughts continued in this vein until she arrived at the top of the cliff. She saw Jacob sitting on the edge of the cliff. "Hey!" he called to her, "Want to sit?" He gestured next to him.

"Umm, no thanks," she answered. "About going out with you, I'm-"

Jacob cut her off. "I'm not asking for an answer to what I asked you at Trent's party yet. I want to give you some real time to think it over. I just wanted to spend some time with you."

"Oh. Well, then I'll take up your offer of a seat." Gwen sat next to him and the two started to chat.

Bridgette walked up the cliff slowly, considering what to say to Jacob. A pair of eyes followed her progress.

"Now, I have to tell him no. That's the only choice I have, right?" Bridgette thought, "I mean, I still love Geoff. Even though, I haven't been sure about anything concerning Geoff recently. But I'm still not going to accept Jacob. I'll just decline and leave quickly. That sounds good."

Bridgette saw Jacob sitting at the top of the cliff. "Hey, Bridge!"

Bridgette stiffened as he called her Geoff's pet name for her. "Please don't call me that."

"Sorry. Bridgette, then," he said. "Want to sit?"

"No, thanks. I just came to tell you that-"

Jacob interrupted her. "You don't have to answer me yet. I want to give you some real time to think it over. I just wanted to spend some time with you. "

"Oh."

Bridgette and Jacob sat there for a while, chatting.

Lindsay arrived on the cliff sooner than Jacob expected. The blonde joined Jacob, sitting on the cliff. She snuggled up to him, effectively hiding her face from the camera on the cliff. Her face lost the vapid look. Her eyes took up a cunning glint. "Look buddy," she whispered in his ear. "I know what you're doing and it sure as hell won't work on me." He gasped and pulled away from her. Her face resumed its empty expression as soon as his shoulder was no longer blocking the camera's view of her face.

"You're…. you're not-" Jacob stammered.

Lindsay smiled sweetly. "I'll talk to you sometime, okay?" She trotted off leaving Jacob to stare after her in amazement.

"Wow. That girl has everyone fooled," he thought, "And she almost fooled me!"

The Confessional: And the general consensus is?

Gwen: Jacob is such a nice guy!

Bridgette: Jacob is really nice!

Eva: Jacob is a really nice person.

Noah was sitting in the mess hall reading a book when Heather sat down next to him. When she didn't say anything, he decided to ignore her.

Heather cleared her throat. "Ahem. Aren't you going to talk to me?"

Noah didn't look up from his book. "No. But if you have something to say, then say it."

Heather sighed. "I'm sorry that you had to deal with me when I was drunk and that I slept on you," she said really quickly. "Thank you." She hurried out of the mess hall, leaving Noah wondering what had just happened.

"There was this one time that I had to wrestle an alligator because I angered a group of Indians and they left me out in the jungle to die. Did you know that I'm an honorary Seminole? Yeah! No joke! I get free drinks at the bar in the casino! (1) And there was this other time that I had to fight off a grizzly!" Izzy chattered on and on to DJ.

DJ frowned. He had been hoping to talk to her about what Izzy had said during the first challenge but Izzy wouldn't stop talking about her adventures. He couldn't bring himself to interrupt her because she looked so excited.

Izzy noticed his frown and abruptly stopped talking about her exploits. "Are you okay, DJ?"

"Izzy, remember when you said you loved me? Were you serious?" he asked her.

"Izzy said that? When?"

"During the first challenge. You really don't remember?" he asked her.

"I don't remember anything after I gave you a hug. Izzy really said that? She didn't have some spell on her?"

"Actually, it's entirely possible you had a spell on you. Jacob and Lindsay were hiding in the bushes next to us."

The two sat together in silence.

"Gwen, I've got a problem," Bridgette told the goth girl. Gwen looked at Bridgette expectantly, ready to listen. "I really need to talk to Geoff."

Gwen laughed. "Come to me with a harder one next time, okay?" Gwen leaned in towards Bridgette. "Here's what you do…."

The Confessional: The evil one is not who you think.

Courtney: I have to apologize to Harold for trying to hurt him so much at the Playa de Losers. My therapist said that it wasn't a good idea to hold onto so many grudges.

Harold: Courtney scares me. I've avoided her in this competition but I don't know how long it will be until she snaps and attempts to kill me again.

Pinkie: I'm starting to wonder if someone is purposefully trying to break up the couples! Trent, Geoff, and Cody were all voted off.

The campers woke up in the morning, and noticed that it was still dark outside. "Good night campers!" Chris Maclean's voice called over the loudspeaker. "Would the Fire Country army please assemble at the campfire for an elimination ceremony after voting."

The campers were finally all at sitting around the campfire.

"Now, as per usual, I have one less marshmallow than I do camper. Two of you will be walking the Dock of Shame, boarding the Boat of Losers and leaving the show forever!" Chris paused to build anticipation. All the campers rolled their eyes, the effect of his words lost on them. Chris grabbed three marshmallows. "And the first marshmallows go to……

…

…

…

…

…

Izzy, Ezekiel, and Eva!" The three breathed sighs of relief as they grabbed their puffs of sugar goodness. "The next contestants to be safe are…

…

…

…

…

…

Harold, Gwen, and Justin!" Gwen and Harold exchanged a high-five as they popped the marshmallows into their mouths.

"That leaves you three," Chris looked at DJ, Courtney, and Leshawna respectively. DJ started to chew his nails while Courtney looked unbothered. "The final marshmallow goes to…

…

…

…

…

…

DJ."

Courtney gasped. "How could you vote me off?" she yelled at her ex-teammates.

"Well, let's see," Gwen started to count reasons off on her fingers. "You were bossy-"

"And mean," interjected Ezekiel.

"And got yourself killed because you trusted your lying boyfriend," Eva offered.

Courtney considered their words. "Okay, I deserved it after I actually believed Duncan. I'd like to apologize to Harold for-." She was cut off as Chef grabbed her and hauled her away to the boat. The contestants all waved, as she and Leshawna got farther and farther away.

"Well, that sucked," Courtney said candidly. "I'm sorry I voted you off, Leshawna. I wanted to get rid of all the real competition."

Leshawna looked at her strangely. "I'm flattered, I guess."

A familiar blonde head poked out of hiding. "Hey guys!"

"Bridgette?"

The Confessional: Overprotective boyfriend? Wouldn't have pegged you for one.

Duncan: I'm kind of glad Courtney got voted off. She'll be safer that way.

Bridgette, Courtney, and Leshawna hopped off the Boat of Losers at the Playa de Losers. Geoff ran towards them, waving. "Hey guys! Welcome to the Playa de Losers!" He looked at the three in confusion. "Bridge, babe, why are you here? I was just watching the elimination ceremony, and you didn't get voted off!" His eyes narrowed. "Did Chris do something?"

Bridgette laughed. "No. I just needed to see you."

"Oh! WOOHOO! You'll make our party even better, Bridge!"

Later that night, after the party, Bridge finally got Geoff alone. "Geoff, I have something to tell you."

"Why so serious, babe?"

She took a deep breath to steady herself. "I want to break up."

Geoff was speechless. "I just can't go out with you any longer," she continued, "I'm sorry." Bridgette turned and walked away from a stunned Geoff.

Chris materialized in front of Bridgette. "You're not supposed to be here. Get on the Boat of Losers and go back. At least you did something good while you were here. Your breakup with Geoff will be great for ratings," he mused.

Bridgette slapped him and left to board the boat.

Like, like-like? Wow. Suddenly Katie reverts back to elementary school sayings. :)

(1) The casino joke is such a Florida thing. The Seminoles are a tribe of Indians in Florida. They run a casino called the Seminole Hard Rock Hotel and Casino.

Well, I finally got to partially reveal Lindsay and Jacob's secrets. Oh. By the way, send your brains back to Trent's party. Remember when Gwen and Trent had that argument? Well, Gwen had the totally wrong idea and thought he knew about Jacob confessing to her. She didn't even pull the plug, it was Jacob!

Well, I'm done with another challenge and elimination. This one was really easy to write after the parties. I'm excited to reveal what new torture Chris thought up for the campers.

A/N: Okay, I'd just like to ask everyone to read my other story, I'm Here for You. It's what is happening at the Playa de Losers after this. I know that at some point, I promised a Playa de Losers chapter, but I kind of lied. So now I have a new story. Check it out guys!
