Chris grinned as Team Extraterrestrial sat at the campfire pit. Mickey and Jada sat together in their usual corner; Christy and Kylie sat together towards the middle, and Bliss and Eyrik individually sat alone.
Chris grinned. "Welcome back to elimination, kiddies! Third loss out of five. Ouch. Must sting."
"Not as much as it'll sting when I slug you," Jada muttered. Mickey rested a hand on her friend's arm, attempting to calm her down.
Confessions:
Annalisia: Things aren't looking so good. Bliss has got everyone convinced that she's so nice, and if they're not voting for her, odds are that they're voting for me and Jada.
"How are you guys feeling, though?" Chris asked with a sarcastic grin. "I mean, going into the final portion, you guys had a huge advantage. Three against one. And that one was D.P. How'd you manage to pull off a loss?"
"Danny was just too good," Kylie threw out. "There's nothing we could've done, even if we'd had the whole team supporting us."
Annalisia rolled her eyes. "Please! If just one more people had joined us, we would've stood a chance. But no. Any one of you!"
Christy blushed slightly, feeling responsible for their loss, but it was Bliss who came to their defense. "Right, sure. But even with someone else, Danny still would've won. It wouldn't have mattered."
"You're just saying that because you like him," Jada retorted.
"I do not, alright?" Bliss replied calmly and coldly. "And I bet you if I did, I wouldn't stab him in the back, like say… you did to Rain?"
"But maybe just one person could've tipped the scales," Chris interjected, trying to bring things back on topic. "One person could've outlasted Danny."
"Exactly!" Annalisia exclaimed. "Any one of you quitters…"
Jada turned her head slowly to face her friend. "Excuse me? Didn't you tell me to take the item?"
Mickey shook her head. "That's different!"
"No, it's not! You're blaming me for this loss! You're calling me a quitter!" Jada exclaimed, standing up in frustration.
"And things blow up now," Bliss snickered to Christy.
"I guess," Christy replied.
Confessions:
Christy: I know I'm working with Bliss now, but I still don't like my friends arguing…
Eyrik calmly got up from his stump and moved a fuming Jada away from Annalisia. Eyrik then pointed to Chris, indicating that he should get the ceremony started.
"Whatever," Chris replied with a wave of his hand. "Anyways, this season, if or when you're voted off, you must walk down the Dock of Shame, climb the Stairs of Loserdom, and board the Shuttle of Failures, where you will promptly be flown off of this island. As in forever." He let them sink it in for a few seconds.
"Now, first safe is…"
"C-H-R-I-S-ty!" he called out in a jingle. Christy nodded happily and got her marshmallow.
"And… Enigmatic Eyrik!" Eyrik calmly stood up and joined Christy.
"And… the man-slayer, Kylie!" Kylie agitatedly snapped at Chris, who rolled his eyes and threw the marshmallow at her.
This left Jada, Annalisia, and Bliss still sitting down. Chris shook his head. "The bottom three! Just one step away from being safe. And that one safe contestant is…"
"Annalisia!" Annalisia happily got up to get her marshmallow. She meant to high-five Jada, but she was glaring at her friend, so she decided against it.
"Jada. Bliss," Chris began, talking to the contestants in the bottom. "You're in the hotseat! Jada, today you disappointed your team by taking a bust, and your sarcasm combined with lack of friendships tips the scales against you, but you have been a good challenge performer in the past. Bliss, you disappointed as well by taking your high heels, and while your previous performances have been less than stellar, somehow you've managed to stir up allies with your kindness. Now remember, the safe contestant will be able to make a trade next time. The contestant who is going to be eliminated, however, is…"

"Neither one of you! It's a reward challenge!" Chris exclaimed gleefully.
Bliss sighed in relief and Jada was utterly shocked, her mouth open. Bliss snickered. "Careful, you'll catch bugs!"
Annalisia threw her hands up in consternation. "Last time there was a reward challenge, there was no reward! Is there something this time?"
"Last time," Chris interjected, "The reward actually was slightly better cafeteria food. In case you'd care to notice."
"So," Christy asked cautiously, "What's the reward this time?"
*Team StarKid, Boys' Cabin*
Maddie, Orion, and Troy had liberated a radio and some snacks, and were partying with Ren and Jason. Danny drifted in and out of consciousness from his concussion, occasionally saying things like, "THE JURY!" or "Potato socks."
"I'd like to make a toast," Troy called out, standing on top of the ping pong table they'd moved into the cabin, "To victory, friends, and an unconscious Danny!"
Everyone, including Ren, found themselves laughing and joining in on the toast. Suddenly, there was a knock at the door.
Ren, learning a complicated and strange dance from Madeleine, called out, "It's the other team!"
Jason, who was having a soda chugging competition with Troy, called out, "Yo, wanna get that, dude?"
Orion nodded, put down his drink, and opened the door.
Standing there was a girl with several bags and a suitcase with her. She smiled at Orion. "Hey."
Orion could only get out one word.
"Brooke."
Well! I bet that nobody saw that one coming! Thoughts? Opinions? Hopes? I sure hope this twist will please you all!
Votes:
Annalisia: Damn it! If I vote for Bliss, the numbers might not be in my favor. Kylie and Christy fell for her stupid fakey-niceness! UGH! I know Jada and Eyrik'll be on my side, but...is that enough? Lets hope so. Bliss.
Bliss: Danny said aim high? What's higher than a fourth place loser? Adios, Jadork!
Christy: I think the smartest thing for working with Bliss would be to vote off Jada. I'm sorry!
Eyrik: *Eyrik walks in the confessional, as stoic as usual. He sits down on the confessional and pulls a notepad from his back pocket. He silently writes the name of the person he's voting off on his piece of paper. As usual, he doesn't show the name, but 'Bliss' can be seen clearly enough. He gets up and walks out*
Jada: It's about damn time that we finally got rid of Bliss!
Kylie: What's best for the team… voting off Bliss. I know she's been so nice and everything, but in order to keep peace… she has to go.
=_= stupid me is stupid for waiting so long to put this up...sorry for the wait...
