"Welcome to Total Drama Switcheroo," Chef greeted from the Dock of Shame. "Last night we had some crazy business going on."
"That's right," Blaineley said. "The Manic Monkeys were once again at an extreme disadvantage, but Simone managed to pull through for her team. And then meant we were going to have one of the most unpredictable eliminations yet."
"It started off with the same old feud between Alison and Zola," Chef said. "Both girls were really getting crazy with each other."
"But there was more," Blaineley added. "Gene wanted Chance to arrange for Ken to leave, and Ken learned that Kitty was planning on backstabbing her friends, so he set out to get her out. And then Chance took a stand against Gene by telling Corrina and Kitty to vote for him."
"In the end the single most important vote went to Kitty," Chef said. "And even she couldn't make up her mind."
"In the end, it was a close call with almost everyone getting a vote," Blaineley said, "but thanks to Kitty's final decision, Zola went home."
"That girl was in the wrong season," Chef remarked. "The villains aren't stopping anytime soon."
"However, the drama didn't even stop there," Blaineley said. "Gene was so angry that his plan didn't work out the way he wanted, that he outed Chance to Corrina. Chance, humiliated, ran off into the woods and left both of them behind."
"And then Kitty and Ken got into a blowout," Chef said. "Turns out, Kitty left her phone in the confessional to record the votes, and learned that Ken voted for her. Well, there were sparks flying off of those two."
"Indeed, all nine remaining contestants are in a mess right now," Blaineley said. "Will today bring us another big elimination? Or will get a chance to breath with a reward challenge?"
"That's coming up right now," Chef said, "on Total Drama Switcheroo!"
(Theme Song Plays…)
(Losers' Cabin)
It was late at night when Ken was awoken by something. He quickly realized that it was someone at the door. He remembered hearing something going on last night, and suddenly felt guilty as he realized that neither Chance nor Corrina were in their beds. He rushed to the door and found Corrina, completely exhausted.
"I…He…" she breathed in desperation.
"Corrina, you need to get into a bed," Ken said as he picked her up. "You can explain in the morning."
He placed Corrina in an empty bed and she had soon fallen asleep. Ken sighed as he took one last look out the door to see if Chance was around. Then he closed the door and returned to his bed.
Confessional:
Ken-I have no idea what is going on, but whatever it is it's not good. I'm really worried about Chance, but Corrina seemed absolutely worn out. She'd better have a good explanation for what's going on.
Corrina-I spent hours searching for Chance, but he's disappeared. I have to find him, though, he needs someone. And I can't let the others know; if he's got a secret, then I want to keep it that way.
(Morning)
The Cash Cows gradually got out of their uncomfortable beds as the sunlight trickled in through the window. After yawning and stretching out, Ken quickly remembered the previous night. He instantly walked over to Corrina's bed and gave her a light shake. To his surprise, all that came out was a pile of pillows.
"Damn it, Corrina," he sighed.
"Hey, do you have something against my friend now?" Kitty accused as she leapt over to him. "Although, friendship doesn't mean much to you, does it?"
"Kitty, this is serious," Ken groaned. "Chance and Corrina are missing."
Kitty gasped, "You have no idea where they are?"
"I saw Corrina last night," Ken explained, "but she's disappeared again."
"I hope they're alright," Kitty said. "And by the way, I'm still mad at you!"
Ken just shook his head and groaned.
Confessional:
Kitty-I really am worried about those two. Corrina was my friend and I could never wish anything bad on her. Still, don't expect me to get all buddy-buddy with Ken anytime soon, he drew the lines and I'm sticking by it.
Ken-I really wish Kitty would calm down, but I can worry about her later. I feel pretty bad that I didn't try to find either of them earlier. I thought it was nothing, but clearly something troublesome is going on.
The other members of the team soon had all gotten out of bed. They left their cabin and headed to the Mess Hall.
"Well, everyone, keep a look out for any sign of our missing members," Ken said. "Chance and Corrina had got to be around somewhere."
"Although, if we switch teams again, I guess it would actually be a good thing," Alison said. "For me at least."
"Alison," Charlie said while glancing at her.
"I'm just looking for the silver lining," Alison replied. "When something bad happens, there's always something good that comes with it. For me, that is; I don't care about the rest of you."
"Uh, what she means is we'll be sure to tell you if we find anything," Charlie said.
By that time, the Manic Monkeys had arrived and were just stepping in the door. Missy was wearing a bright smile, but it immediately broke as soon as she spotted Alison.
"What. Is. She. Doing. Here!" Missy shouted as she marched towards the table in fury.
Everyone at the table glanced at Alison, and a few of them tried to say something, but Missy didn't let anyone finish.
"How could you not vote her out!?" Missy shouted as she punched the table. "I thought you were good people, but it seems I was wrong. There's no other explanation for keeping a slimy monster like this!"
"Missy," Charlie began, "I—"
"Oh, what am I doing?" Missy said as she immediately regained her composure.
However, as Missy smiled again, her eye twitched unnaturally.
"That…wasn't very nice…of me….was it?" Missy said through clenched teeth.
Missy then walked over to a different table and sat down. Simone shrugged as she sat down next to the others. DJ soon emerged from the kitchen and dumped so grey slop on everyone's plates. The campers groaned in disappointment.
"Don't worry, guys," DJ said. "I found some of my Momma's secret spices, and those can liven up any meal."
The campers found to their pleasant surprise that the meal did taste far better than the last few breakfasts. However, the feeling of unease still lingered above everyone.
Confessional:
Missy-I really do want to be nice to everyone, but it's just getting harder and harder when they're all acting so mean. I just don't get it…how could they save Alison?
Charlie-I don't think Missy or Alison really want to hurt anyone. They just get a little carried away.
(The Forest)
"Chance, Chance!" Corrina called desperately ran from tree to tree.
As she ran behind one tree, she came out wearing a hunter's outfit. She scanned the ground for any tracks, then ran behind another tree. She came out wearing a leopard print outfit as she swung along vine calling for Chance. She swung into a shrub and came out in a pirate's outfit; she used her telescope to look into the distance. She ran behind another tree and came out in her usual attire.
"Did anybody find anything?" she said out loud.
"Nope," she said as she put on her hunter's toque.
"Nope," she added as she tossed over her leopard outfit.
"Nothing," she said while switching to her pirate hat.
"Nada," she sighed while placing a stethoscope around her neck.
"Well, no one asked you, Dr. Corrina," she remarked as she returned to normal. "Chance, where are you!?"
Confessional:
Corrina-Where could he be!? He must of found some sort of shelter if he wanted to survive the night…he must have…
(Main Camp)
The campers had finished their breakfast and were dispersing around the campsite. Ken sighed as he sat down on a rock.
"Hey, Ken," Gene said as he approached him. "I didn't want to say anything in front of everyone, but I think I heard something about Chance last night."
"Really?" Ken asked.
"Just to warn you, it's a bit strange," Gene said before immediately continuing his story. "It seemed like Chance and Corrina were having an argument. I knew it was wrong, but I couldn't resist listening in on them. It seemed like they were arguing because Chance actually had a crush on someone else on the island."
"What?" Ken said in surprise.
"Wait, I haven't gotten to the kicker yet," Gene said. "This person…it was you. That's right, it turns out, Chance is actually gay."
Ken stuttered for words as his face turned somewhat red.
"I know, weird, right?" Gene remarked. "Who knew?"
"Are you sure?" Ken finally said.
"That's what I heard," Gene shrugged.
"Really?" Ken just gasped. "I just…I never thought…I don't…"
"Well, I'm sure the two of you will have lots to talk about when he gets back," Gene said as he left. "Or should I say, if he gets back."
Confessional:
Gene-I don't care if it is petty, I'm going to destroy Chance. And he's just making it easier by keeping himself hidden. That just means there's no way he can defend himself.
Ken-I'm really not sure if I believe Gene's story…but I don't think he's lying to me. I guess it sort of makes sense…but I'd really like to hear Chance's story first.
Charlie and Alison walked together along the beach.
"I sure hope those guys are okay," Charlie remarked.
"Eh, why?" Alison asked.
"Uh…" Charlie said caught off guard by the question.
"Exactly," Alison replied. "Let them worry for themselves, they're not your concern."
"But they're nice people," Charlie said. "I feel bad for them."
"If you felt nice for every bad person in the world, you'd never be happy," Alison replied. "But if you just worry about yourself, then you'll be happy."
"Sorry Alison," Charlie sighed. "I don't think I can do that."
Alison frowned. From a slight distance Missy glared at the two of them. She dragged a stick through the dirt murderously as she clenched her teeth.
Confessional:
Alison-I've been trying to see things Charlie's way, but I really think it would be easier if he just took my point of view. My only concern is myself and I'm happy. Uwee hee hee.
"Challenge time!" Blaineley blared through her megaphone. "Gather round everyone."
The seven campers quickly grouped around her.
"You know the drill," Chef said as he flipped the switch.
The flags emerged as red, green, and gold.
"We're back to Shooting Stars versus Fierce Fighters," Blaineley announced at the campers split into groups.
"Uh, we have a bit of a problem," Kitty exclaimed. "Too of our members are missing."
"So?" Chef shrugged. "We've still gotta do the show."
"And besides," Blaineley added, "you're already at a numbers advantage, this will even things out a little better."
"So, what is the challenge today?" Simone asked.
"Today's challenge will take place in reality," Blaineley said. "You're going to need some supplies…Chef!"
Chef grunted as he handed out jars and butterfly nets to each of the contestants.
"There are a lot of interesting bugs on this island," Blaineley explained. "We've got a list for you. The first team to bring us one of each will win reward…Chef!"
Chef grunted again as he brought out a large crate. He pried it open to reveal it was full of junk food.
"We've got chips, soda, candy, all the stuff you kids love," Blaineley announced.
Everyone eyed the crate longingly.
"Now, here is the list for what you'll be hunting," Blaineley said as she sprawled out a sheet of paper. "One butterfly, one spider, one bee, one grasshopper, and one mosquito."
"Sounds easy enough," Gene remarked.
"Well, you've got your goal," Chef said. "Get to it!"
Confessional:
Ken-I guess we might as well do what we can for this challenge. Maybe will find Chance or Corrina will we search.
(Fierce Fighters)
The three members grouped together before heading out.
"Well, hello again, guys," Simone said dryly. "Are you ready to win again?"
"Whatever you say, Simone," Gene replied. "Now, I suggest we stick together for this. It can't be too hard to find these five bugs if we keep our eyes open."
"Do they have to be alive?" Alison asked. "I'd really like to squish one in my hand. Uwee hee hee."
"Better not risk it," Gene replied.
"I promise nothing," Alison said.
The three grabbed their equipment and headed out into the forest. They began to search along the trees and through the grass.
"Come on, where are they all hiding?" Simone grumbled as she crawled through the grass.
"Come out, come out!" Alison exclaimed as she stomped on a bush.
"So, what do you guys think of Chance disappearing?" Gene asked.
"I don't know what's going on with that," Simone replied.
"It's not my problem," Alison pouted.
"Well, I heard that he got into an argument with Corrina," Gene said. "It turns out, he's actually gay, believe it or not."
"I believe it," Simone remarked. "He really wasn't that great at hiding it. Too bad for Corrina, though, she seemed so thrilled with him."
"Well, this whole thing is starting to sound deliciously painful," Alison exclaimed. "Uwee hee hee."
"But let's focus on the task at hand," Simone said.
"Right, of course," Gene replied.
Confessional:
Alison-I have been way too stressed lately. I'm just glad that other people are suffering now, that's the way it should be.
Gene-One by one I'll make sure everyone knows Chance's secret. If he's not voting out next time, maybe he'll just quit out of embarrassment.
(Shooting Stars)
There clearly tension among the team as they walked together in silence. Everyone seemed to be deep in thought…except Charlie who was trying to balance an acorn on his nose.
"Well, I guess we should split up," Ken said. "We can cover more ground and meet back together after a bit."
The others nodded silently. Kitty gave one bitter glare at Ken before heading off in the other direction. Missy just marched off on her own without saying anything. Charlie shrugged at Ken and also walked off. Ken sighed to himself.
Confessional:
Ken-I actually had another reason for splitting up the team. I'm afraid that with all the anger going on in everyone, things would get explosive pretty soon.
Charlie-I don't like all this fighting. It just makes people angry, and then they fight more, and then they get angrier…oh I made my head hurt.
(Main Camp)
A rock flipped over to reveal Corrina crawling out in all black. She rolled behind a tree and pulled out a tape record.
"Log #25," she whispered into it, "I think I'm onto the right track."
She slid to the back of the Mess Hall. She came to the backdoor and pulled out a lock pic.
"This is going to take all my focus," she whispered as she began fiddling with the lock.
However, as soon as she turned it, the door swung open.
"Hm, that was easy," she said. "Perhaps a little too easy…I'm on a hot trail here."
She crept into the kitchen she examined the dirty pots and pans. Then she rolled over to a storage door. She pried it open and peered inside. She gasped as she saw Chance sitting on the floor.
"Corrina," he gasped as he looked up.
"Chance!" Corrina exclaimed as she hugged him. "I found you!"
"Corrina…I'm really, really sorry," Chance sighed. "I'm sorry I spent all this time lying to you."
"Chance, I'm not angry," Corrina said. "Well…not at you. I was just worried; did you stay the whole night here?"
"Yes," Chance said glumly. "After running away, and quickly turned back and snuck into the kitchen. No one noticed me until now."
"Well, I want to help you," Corrina said as she took his hand.
"You don't have to do anything," Chance sighed. "I shouldn't have brought you into this mess. I shouldn't have come here in the first place."
"Don't say that," Corrina said. "You're a great person, and I'm really glad that I met you. I'm here for you, if you have anything you want to talk about."
"Well, I suppose I should tell my story," Chance said. "Now that my secret is out."
Confessional:
Corrina-Chance seems to have a lot weighing him down, despite his cheery outside. I think he's been keeping his pain to himself for too long. I really want to help him get this off his chest and get through his trouble.
(Charlie)
Charlie had his net firmly grasped in his hands. With every sound he heard, he would twirl in that direction and swing his net down.
"Dang," he sighed as he came up with nothing but dust for the sixth time.
Then his eyes caught something bouncing along the ground. He dropped down and spotted a grasshopper moving through the grass.
"Aha!" he exclaimed as he brought his net down.
The insect hopped out of the way just in time. Charlie glared at the bug and leapt after it, once again swinging his net. He continued to leap after the insect each time it evaded his net.
"Come on, cut it out," Charlie grumbled as he missed yet again.
Suddenly someone else's jar dropped down over the insect. Charlie looked up to see Ken.
"I saw you having some trouble and thought I'd help you out," Ken explain as he turned the jar upright and put a lid on top of it.
"Thanks," Charlie said with a small grin as he stood up.
"Well, I guess we can head out in other directions again," Ken said.
"Actually, would you mind if I hung out with you for a bit?" Charlie asked.
"Sure," Ken replied.
The two walked together. Ken kept his eyes peeled for any movement, but Charlie seemed to have something else on his mind.
"So…I noticed you seem kinda mad at Kitty," Charlie said.
"I am," Ken said sternly. "She betrayed my trust and acted like I was the one to blame."
"Well, is there any chance you'll make up with her?" Charlie asked.
"I'd like to," Ken sighed. "But I've done nothing wrong here. She was planning on backstabbing me, and I can't trust her so easily. But she's really not helping her case by making such a big fuss."
"I don't like fighting," Charlie sighed to himself.
"Me neither," Ken sighed. "But I guess that's the way this show plays out."
Confessional:
Charlie-It seems like lately there's been a lot more fights going on instead of friendships forming. It makes me sad that none of my friends are getting along.
Ken-I really would like to have a peaceful game, but that's not how things work. At this point, people are stressed and it's easy for conflicts to break through that.
(Fierce Fighters)
The team continued to search through the wilderness without much success. As Simone kicked aside long grass, she eventually spotted a grasshopper bouncing out.
"Finally!" she exclaimed as she swung her net.
But the insect dodged and landed in another bundle of grass.
"No!" Simone exclaimed. "Where'd you go?"
She searched through the grass without any luck. Gene, meanwhile, had lifted up a rock, and allowed a spider to crawl out.
"Perfect," he remarked as he readied his jar.
The spider, however, quickly scurried up a tree. Gene had just turned his head, when he looked back, the spider was gone.
"Hey!" he exclaimed. "He couldn't have gone too far."
He began to investigate around the tree. The spider, meanwhile, had climbed along a branch and was just creeping down onto the back of Alison's neck.
"Huh?" Alison exclaimed as she stood up.
She reached back onto her neck and the spider scurried onto her hand. She barely had time to react before it bit into her skin.
"Ah!" she screamed. "You little vermin!"
She slammed her hand against the tree and squished the spider. She then grabbed a rock and began grinding the spider into the ground.
"Well, there's no way we can use that now," Gene sighed.
"I feel…dizzy," Alison slurred as she stumbled over into Gene's arms.
"Oh, great," Gene groaned.
Simone, meanwhile, had spotted another spider trying to scurry away.
"Gotcha!" she exclaimed as she slammed her jar down on top of it.
She then sealed it shut with a lid and held it up victoriously.
"While you two were messing around, I actually got something down," she exclaimed.
"Great," Gene said. "Now do it four more times."
Confessional:
Gene-It's a good thing that this is only a reward challenge, because Alison does not seem like the best person for this kind of mission.
Simone-Not to sound mean, but it's nice to have someone else in the middle of a mess now. I've had to dodge bullet after bullet, now I can finally breathe a little easier.
(Kitchen)
"I guess I've known for a while now," Chance recounted his story. "At least since a few years ago, I found that boys were…well, hot."
He seemed to be blushing a bit now, but Corrina just nodded silently for him to continue.
"So yeah, I was aware of it, but I pretended it was nothing," Chance said. "I just acted like it meant nothing and continued to act to way I always had. I put it out of mind, and I don't think anyone noticed anything. I kept thinking it would disappear eventually…sometimes I felt like it had, but it would always come back."
"No one's going to treat you any differently, I promise," Corrina said.
"Thanks, but I don't think you can do anything," Chance sighed. "I know things are going to change for me when I get home."
"I'll tell you this, though, I'll always be your friend," Corrina promised as she held his hand again.
"Thanks, Corrina," Chance said as he smiled at her. "That really does mean a lot to me."
Confessional:
Chance-I really thought that I could keep this secret to the death, but it looks like it's all out now. I know what you're all thinking, you had no way of knowing, but it's true.
(Shooting Stars)
Charlie and Ken had once again split up. Charlie was walking through a muddy part of the island as he kept his feet on the ground for anything he was searching for. He was so focused on the ground that he didn't realize that he was walking right into Kitty.
"Oof sorry," he apologized.
"Don't worry about it," Kitty replied. "So, have you found anything yet?"
"No, but Ken got a grasshopper," Charlie replied.
"Oh, him," Kitty said resentfully.
"Ken really hasn't done anything wrong, has he?" Charlie pointed out.
"Oh, but he has," Kitty said bitterly. "He was out to get me since day one."
"Uh, really?" Charlie asked, confused.
"Yes," Kitty replied. "He's been trying to turn alliances against me, all while pretending to be my friend. How else can you explain why he was snooping through my notebook?"
"Um, I dunno," Charlie said.
"Precisely," Kitty replied. "So, are we agreement? Vote him off next time?"
"Wait, I never said that," Charlie exclaimed. "Did I?"
"So, are you saying you're taking Ken's side?" Kitty accused.
"Why can't we all be on the same side?" Charlie asked.
"Hm, a third option, eh?" Kitty replied. "I like your style…but it's still not gonna happen."
"Oh," Charlie sighed.
"Aha!" Kitty exclaimed as she swung her net into her jar. "Looky what I got!"
Charlie squinted and realized that there was something miniscule floating inside.
"One mosquito, check," Kitty declared.
Confessional:
Kitty-I like to keep things interesting, but Ken's out to ruin my fun. If I'm going to stay in this game, he has to go.
(Fierce Fighters)
The team had moved on together to another part of the forest. Alison was rubbing her bite with irritation.
"Feeling better?" Gene asked.
"It still hurts," Alison replied.
"Just don't go smashing anymore of our targets," Gene said.
"I told you, I'm not playing by your rules," Alison said haughtily.
"Fine, think about it this way," Gene said, "if we lose, then the other team gets to celebrate with the prize."
While the two of them were talking, Simone had spotted a butterfly. She chased after it with her net.
"I got you, I got you," she said as she circled around a tree.
The butterfly began to lift up out of her reach.
"No," Simone growled.
She then began to climb up on the tree's branches.
"Ha, ha, nowhere to run now," she chuckled.
She swung her net, but missed and stumbled forward. She landed right on top of Alison.
"Get off of me!" Alison snapped as she shoved Simone against a tree.
"Ladies, allow me," Gene said as he gently swung his net and caught the butterfly. "Who's winning points now, Simone?"
"Oh, you just got lucky," Simone scoffed.
Confessional:
Gene-Between these two girls, I definitely rather keep Alison around. She's a complete wreck and so easy to manipulate. Simone's also a wreck, but she's a threatening wreck.
(Kitchen)
Chance and Corrina had each found some seats and were sitting down on them now.
"Anyways, when I got here," Chance continued, "I realized that I…sort of…had a crush on Ken. Again, I feel guilty, especially after we got together."
"Please, it's just a crush," Corrina laughed. "If I counted all the boys I had a crush on, we'd be here all day. But how many boys have I kissed? Just you."
"Uh…yeah," Chance replied. "Anyways, even though I was doing a pretty good job at keeping the façade up, Gene somehow figured it out. I was so scared that everything would fall apart for me if he told anyone, so I promised to do whatever he said. But then I got careless and thought I could get him voted out…and that's where everything really got bad."
"I swear, Gene is so dead," Corrina said as she grabbed a knife. "He'd be lucky to run into Corrina the Ripper, because even she wouldn't be as brutal as I want to be."
"Whatever," Chance sighed. "There's nothing more he can do to me."
"But I'll tell you what we can do to him," Corrina said. "We can get him voted outta here."
Confessional:
Chance-Part of me is really humiliated to have all of this coming out on TV, but I'm also kind of relieved to get it all out and over with.
(Shooting Stars)
Once again, Charlie found himself alone. As he wandered through the forest, a butterfly fluttered past his nose.
"Aha," he exclaimed. "This time I'm not screw up."
He began swinging her net wildly from side to side. The butterfly always managed to flutter out of reach, though.
"Why is this so hard?" Charlie sighed.
As Charlie continued to chase after the butterfly, he eventually spotted someone else. It was Missy, sitting alone on a rock.
"Oh…hi, Missy," he said.
"Hi, Charlie," Missy replied oddly cold. "I've been waiting for you."
"Um, ah, you have?" Charlie asked. "Er…how come?"
"I think we need to have a talk," Missy declared.
"A talk?" Charlie echoed. "Okay, I can talk. What are we talking about?"
"Last night, did you vote for Alison?" Missy asked.
"Well…no," Charlie answered. "I'm sorry, but she's still my friend."
"Why is she still your friend?" Missy hissed. "Haven't you seen that she is evil?"
"She is not evil!" Charlie said angrily. "I know she's not the nicest person here, but she is trying to be nicer, I've seen it. You need to give her another chance."
Missy shook her head solemnly.
"It's clear to me now," Missy sighed. "You've taken your side, Charlie."
Missy revealed a sharp rock behind her back and used it to cut a vine behind her. Suddenly a trap made up of several logs came slamming down on Charlie's back. He was crushed down against the ground.
"Ow!" he exclaimed. "Missy, what are you doing?"
"I'm giving you the justice you deserve!" Missy said icily. "You're no better than Alison, you're pure evil. I liked you, and I tried to show you the right path. But you've made it clear where you stand."
"Missy, this is mean!" Charlie shouted.
"No, it's not," Missy said as she clutched Charlie's face in her hands. "You're the one who's been mean all this time. You never once thought about how much you were hurting. I'm sure if you asked anyone, they'd say this is exactly what you deserve."
Charlie tried to lift the burden off of him, but it wouldn't budge.
"You're stuck here," Missy declared. "And soon as everyone here's how you threw this challenge, they'll be sure to vote you out next elimination."
"What?" Charlie said. "That plan doesn't make any sense."
"Not to you, obviously," Missy scoffed as she turned around. "And that's because you're a complete idiot!"
With that she marched off and left Charlie behind.
Confessional:
Missy-Well, I'm sure all you wonderful viewers out there realized that he was a jerk long ago. I guess I was just blinded by love. But you can rejoice now because I'm through being so kind to people who don't deserve it.
Charlie-I take back what I said about Missy, she's not nice at all.
(Fierce Fighters)
"Okay, we've got the easy ones," Simone remarked to her group. "But I don't think we'll have as much success finding mosquitos, or grasshoppers or…bees? Seriously?"
"Well, how about there?" Gene said as he pointed to a tree.
The tree had a hole along the middle and several buzzing insects were flying around it.
"Oh, how convenient," Simone said.
The trio approached the tree with their nets ready. However, as soon as they got close, the bees started to attack.
"Ow, ow!" Simone exclaimed as was stung on both of her arms.
"Retreat," Gene ordered as a bee stung him on the chin.
"Grr, stupid bees!" Alison exclaimed as she was stung repeatedly.
"Alison, don't do anything stupid," Gene said.
However, Alison was already swinging her jar furiously. Despite being attacked from all sides, she managed to catch one of the bees.
"Aha, now you're gonna pay!" she exclaimed. "Uwee hee hee."
"I'll take that," Gene said as he grabbed the jar. "Now, let's get out of here."
Confessional:
Alison-I've got a strong urge to torture something, so I sure hope Blaineley lets us keep the bugs afterwards. They're in for some fun, uwee hee hee.
(Kitchen)
"And that's my story," Chance finished with a final breath.
"I'm glad that you were able to share that," Corrina said. "I really mean it when I say I want to help you, and I think that taking this step is a good move for you."
"Thanks," Chance said. "It still feels really weird, but I'm glad that you're here. And once more, I hope you're not disappointed."
"Well, I did have fun when we were together," Corrina admitted. "I thought it was love—"
"But it was," Chance protested. "I did feel right with you."
"It's okay, I understand," Corrina said. "We can still share the love of friendship."
"I really did think…I felt that…" Chance stuttered for his words.
"What is it?" Corrina said.
"When I said you were beautiful," Chance finally said, "I meant every word of that."
"Well, that's really sweet," Corrina replied with a smile.
"Corrina…" Chance said. "Could you…I mean, would you mind…let me kiss you again."
"Chance," Corrina said softly.
"Please," Chance pleaded. "I want to do this without any more thoughts weighing me down."
Corrina nodded slightly. The two came closer and Chance closed his eyes. Their lips locked. The two stayed together lovingly with neither one of them wanting to pull back. Eventually, though, they broke apart.
"Corrina…" Chance breathed. "I love you."
Confessional:
Corrina-Okay…now I'm just confused.
(Shooting Stars)
Ken had yet to spot anything else since he caught his grasshopper. He was beginning to get frustrated now as he kicked aside vegetation.
"Come on, it should not be this hard to find some bugs," he remarked.
After another kick to the ground, he spotted a bee fluttering out of a flower.
"Finally," he exclaimed as he readied his equipment.
He followed after the bee and brought down his net. He quickly swung it into his jar.
"That's two down," he said. "Hopefully the others have some by now."
After walking a little farther, he ended up at a clearing. He then spotted someone else approaching from another part of the forest.
"Hello, Kitty," he sighed.
"Hmph," Kitty replied.
Then a butterfly flew between them.
"I got it, I got it!" Kitty exclaimed as she swung her net.
She missed several times and the butterfly was leaving her behind now.
"Better leave it to me," Ken said as he followed after the butterfly.
"No way!" Kitty exclaimed as she chased after both of them.
Ken was trying to get the butterfly into his net, but it was difficult with Kitty also swinging her net wildly.
"Kitty, seriously, that's not helping!" Ken snapped.
"Then just leave it to me," Kitty countered as she continued to swing.
The butterfly was getting out of reach now.
"I can do this," Ken said.
"How am I supposed to trust you?" Kitty scoffed.
"Seriously, can you just give that a rest already?" Ken replied.
The butterfly was about to disappear back into the forest by now. Both of them dived for it, and ended up colliding into each other.
"Well…way to go," Ken grumbled.
Confessional:
Ken-Kitty is getting really pathetic. She's letting this stupid grudge get in the way of winning the challenge. She must really want to leave, because I'm getting rid of her at the next chance I get.

"I don't understand" Corrina said as she paced the floor now. "What does this mean now?"
"I don't know, I really don't," Chance sighed. "But I just know that I'm sincere when I say I love you. I know what I'm feeling."
"I don't know, Chance," Corrina replied uneasily. "You might just be trying to deny yourself again. You might just be imagining feelings."
"I'm not, I swear," Chance said. "I'm not keeping any secrets anymore. But that doesn't change the fact my feelings for you are stronger than anything I've ever felt before."
"But why just now are you realizing this?" Corrina asked. "Were you living a lie before?"
"No…I just…I," Chance began to stuttered again. "I've always felt it for you. We had a connection, I know it. But I've always had this self-doubt just in the back of my mind that was holding me back. Now, I think I'm finally ready to move past that."
Corrina looked into his pleading eyes and held his hand again.
"I felt a connection with you too," she replied. "But doesn't this contradict what you've told me?"
Chance just shrugged helplessly.
"I've been very confused deep within myself for the past few years," Chance said. "I don't know what I am. But this is one thing that I'm sure of."
He smiled weakly at Corrina, and she couldn't help but return the smile.
Confessional:
Chance-I don't know what this makes me now? Bisexual? I don't know, but at this moment, I don't care. I just want to forget all that.
(Shooting Stars)
"Well, I'm willing to bet that the other team is already coming up to a finish," Ken sighed as he and Kitty walked back to the forest.
"If you're trying to pin the blame onto me, it's not going to work," Kitty retorted.
Ken increased his pace.
"That's right, just walk away," Kitty scoffed as she followed behind him.
After walking deeper in the woods, Ken suddenly stopped.
"What is it!?" Kitty exclaimed as she caught up with him.
"Charlie!" Ken exclaimed as he found the boy trapped underneath the pile of logs.
"Hey guys!" Charlie exclaimed. "Glad you found me."
Ken bended over and began trying to lift the log. Kitty quickly got around to the other side and tried to help. Charlie slowly wormed his way out from under the trap.
"How did this happen?" Ken asked in surprise as Charlie brushed himself off.
"Oh…well, to tell you the truth, I'm not too sure," Charlie replied.
"What do you mean?" Kitty asked. "Just tell us what happened."
"Well…uh, I was walking," Charlie said. "And, uh…I tripped…and um, here I am."
Kitty and Ken glanced at each other.
"If you say so," Ken said.
Confessional:
Charlie-I could have told them that it was Missy…but then they'd just get mad at her, and then Missy would get mad, and it would be another fight. I just want all that to stop.
Ken-I'm pretty sure Charlie was lying. But why? And what really happened? Ugh, this time is just full of horrifying mysteries and secrets.
Kitty-Ooh, this sounds like a story. Be sure to stay tuned, followers, to see how I solve this mystery.
(Fierce Fighters)
The trio was once again spread out in a new area as they searched for their two remaining bugs.
"Are you sure you don't need to get those checked out?" Simone asked Alison who was now covered in stings.
"I said I'm fine," Alison said although her words were even more slurred together now that it was hardly comprehensible.
Gene was focusing on the grass with his net ready.
"Hey, what's so special?" Simone asked. "I don't see anything."
"Shh," Gene said as he continued to stare in the same position.
Simone just rolled her eyes as she searched in another part of the area. After a few more minutes of staring, Gene finally spotted a grasshopper leap out of the grass.
"Gotcha!" he exclaimed as he swung his net.
He quickly slipped the insect into the jar.
"That's four down," he announced.
"Great," Simone replied, "but now we've got to spot a mosquito. How are we supposed to do that?"
At that moment, however, a mosquito was creeping along Alison's arm. The mosquito pricked her skins, and her eyes darted towards it.
"Oh that is it!" Alison screamed. "I am going to—"
"Alison, stop!" Gene exclaimed.
Alison's fingers were just pinched around the bug. She seemed to using all of her inner strength to keep them from clamping down on the bug.
"Thank you," Gene said as he swatted the bug into the jar.
Alison's bite began to turn red.
"Hey, that doesn't look good," Simone said.
"I feel dizzy again," Alison slurred as she collapsed on the ground.
"Well, at least we're finished the challenge," Gene said. "Let's head back and get our reward."
The two of them lifted Alison up and began to carry her back to camp.
Confessional:
Gene-All in all, I'd say today was a success. It's good to get back into that after yesterday.
(Main Camp)
"Oh, here comes someone," Blaineley remarked to Chef. "Is this the winning team?"
The Fierce Fighters arrived with their five jars. Alison was waking up, but still seemed incredibly woozy.
"Fierce Fighters, you have completed the reward," Chef declared.
"And as an added bonus," Blaineley said, "you'll be getting the addition reward of an advantage token."
"However," Chef said, "we've noticed that there are still quite a few out in circulation, so only one of you will be getting one."
"How will we decide who gets it though?" Gene asked.
"Well, obviously it's me," Simone said. "You two both already have one."
"I suppose," Gene said. "Alison, what do you say?"
"Everyshing ish spinnink," Alison said.
"I don't hear a no," Simone said.
"Well, that was easy," Blaineley said as she handed the token to Simone.
"Attention, everyone!" Chef blared into the megaphone. "This challenge is now complete. Return to the camp."
Slowly, the four members of the Shooting Stars returned in defeat. Missy was glaring at Charlie, but he wasn't making eye contact with her.
"The Fierce Fighters have won this challenge," Blaineley announced. "And with that, the prize."
Chef dropped the crate in front of the three contestants.
"And now-," Blaineley began to say.
"May I have your attention, everyone," Corrina suddenly interrupted.
Everyone looked up to see that she was now in a business suit. As well, she had set up a podium and a microphone.
"Corrina!" Ken exclaimed in relief at seeing her again.
"As you may know, Chance has been going through a bit of a tough time," Corrina explained.
Gene grinned to himself.
"However, rest assured, he's feeling much better right now," Corrina said. "And he'd like to say a few words to all of you."
Chance walked up to the microphone.
"Uh, hi, everyone…sorry about worrying all of you," he said somewhat awkwardly. "Uh, anyways, yes I wanted to talk to you. I realize that there's probably a lot of rumors going out about me right now, and I want to explain."
"There's nothing to explain, Chance," Gene said darkly. "You're gay, that's all there is to it. Everyone knows already."
Chance glared at Gene for just a split-second before saying, "Actually, that's not exactly true. Yes, I will admit, I like boys…but I also know that I love Corrina. I don't think I can explain all of it here, but I wanted to clear all this up."
"Don't worry, Chance," Ken said. "We're just glad that you're alright. Everything else is your personal business."
Kitty, who had her notebook out, quickly hit it behind her back, "Uh, yes, that's right."
"We're all happy for you, Chance," Corrina said. "But you left out one little key detail. You know about how…Gene was blackmailing you!"
She jabbed an accusing finger at Gene as everyone turned to him.
"That's right everyone, this guy was taking advantage of Chance's insecurities to make him into his little slave," Corrina exclaimed.
"Gene!" Ken gasped.
"Oh, this is getting so good," Kitty exclaimed as she began taking notes again.
"You're exaggerating," Gene scoffed. "It was all for strategy. Nothing more."
"You can't lighten the blow," Corrina said angrily. "You were making Chance miserable with no thought whatsoever for the pain you were causing him."
"I gotta side with Corrina on this one," Simone said. "That was pretty wrong."
"Look, you people are overreacting her," Gene said. "This is a cutthroat game, and if Chance wasn't ready for that, then he never should have signed up."
"I always knew that you were nothing but a meanie inside," Missy declared.
"Even I'm enraged," Alison added, recovering from her dazed state.
"Hey, I came here to win!" Gene snapped. "All of you did! And that means doing whatever it takes. You're making far too big a deal out of a simple game move. I'm done talking about this."
Confessional:
Gene-(crumbling his hat) No, this wasn't supposed to happen! This is all wrong, wrong, wrong!
Alison-Okay, I totally would have done the same thing, but I just wanted to see Gene squirm.
Ken-I can't believe Gene would hurt Chance like that. Yes, this is a harsh game, but there are limits to this kind of thing.
Kitty-Be sure to check out my blog later tonight where you'll get a full coverage on these shocking events.
Missy-This island is just full of horrible people! It's like I'm the only nice one here.
Chance-Well…that was something. All I can say is that I truly feel free for the first time in a while.
(Later)
Gene had gotten into the luxury cabin and had locked the door to the second room. Alison and Simone were both sitting in the other room.
"Let him have his space for now, "Simone said. "He's so screwed next time we go to elimination."
Alison just nodded. She was now covered with white splotches as she tried to get rid of the many stings and bites.
Outside, the others were headed towards the loser cabin. Charlie brought up the rear. When he got to the door he found Missy waiting for him.
"Missy," he said sadly. "I—"
"Don't saying anything, I'm done listening to you," Missy said acidly. "I just wanted you to know that you have made me into an enemy."
"Missy, I didn't do anything!" Charlie exclaimed.
"That's a lie!" Missy shouted. "Stop lying Charlie! It's just proving my point."
"Hey, what's going on!?" Ken exclaimed as he came outside.
"It's nothing, Ken, "Charlie said.
"No, it's not," Ken said. "I already found out about one friend who was getting tormented without me even knowing. I'm not letting anything happen to you."
"Don't you side with him too," Missy spat. "He's horrible."
"Hey, listen!" Ken snapped. "This guy is my friend, and his a great guy. Nothing you say can change my mind about that. But you on the other hand have just been causing trouble. Charlie has only been trying to get along with everyone, and you are putting him through a lot of stress with the way you treat him."
"Fine, fine," Missy scoffed. "Turn against me too. I don't care. People like you always end up with what they deserve."
"Missy, what are you even talking about?" Ken scoffed.
"I tried to be nice, I really did," Missy growled. "But what's the point when everyone here is nothing but scum. Well, guess what every single one of you is going down. The hero always wins and I'm the hero!"
She turned to the cabin where several people were looking out the window.
"This is a battle of good and evil, people!" Missy shouted. "I strongly suggest that you take the side of good, because anyone who goes against me will regret it dearly."
With that she marched into the cabin and slammed the door.
Confessional:
Ken-I didn't know it was possible to feel so mad, but I've been pissed off by Kitty, Gene, and Missy all in the same day.
Missy-That's it, I'm done! I'm through being nice. It's time to put all these villains in their place.
Charlie-Oh no, this is exactly what I didn't want to happen!
(Conclusion)
"And that concludes another episode of Total Drama Switcheroo," Blaineley said. "Emphasise on drama."
"The question now is, who is in the most trouble?" Chef said. "I don't think there's anyone who's not angry or upset right now."
"Tomorrow could bring us a key elimination, or maybe it'll just stretch on with another reward," Blaineley said.
"How else will everything unfold?" Chef asked. "Can Chance and Corrina really work out together? Can Charlie survive the onslaught that's sure to come? Who will Missy take out first in her tirade against evil?"
"All these and more and just more reasons for you to tune in," Blaineley exclaimed, "next time on Total…Drama…Switcheroo!"
Author's Note: Hello, everyone. So, I just wanted to give a bit of explanation to Chance's story. I've seen so many times in stories where there's a gay character who falls in love with someone who just conveniently turns out to be Bi. The way I see it, it would make a lot more sense for the "gay" character to turn out to be Bi, a lot of social views only present a binary system where you're one or the other, which is why it's easy for someone like Chance to get confused. Although, in the end, the important thing is that he was still able to find love.
