I have become aware that I do awful long author's notes. I'll try to keep my voice to a minimum from now on.
But first, I forgot to thank TaraFlan99 for helping me with Lexy's cheer in the last chapter.
Sorry the chapter's so short, there was really not much to do with it.
Disclaimer: If I owned the Total Drama Series Noah would have won all three seasons and would have been dating Izzy. But that hasn't happened… yet.
Episode 5- There's No Biz like Show Biz
"Last time on Total Drama Fans vs. Favorites." Chris McClain says as he lies in a beach chair on the Dock of Shame, Chef Hatchet fanning him with a palm leaf. "W.A.R was on as the campers participate in the most extreme version of capture the flag that was ever played. Tensions ran high, as they faced the forest stocked full of evil animals, paint ball bombs and much more. In a desperate move to capture the enemies' flag and free their fellow teammates, the Screaming Turtles sent most of their campers on the offensive, leaving their flag wide open for the taking. Fox almost saved the team, but Eddy managed to cross into the camp at the last second. So the Screaming Turtles went to the Campfire Ceremony where the guitar playing romantic, Trent was voted off. In other news at certain CHEF tried to trick me into buying him a new spatula which he is being SEVERLY PUNISHED FOR. Will the Screaming Turtles ever end their losing streak? Will the Killer Snails manage another victory? Will this heat wave ever end? Chef, fan harder!"
Chef rolls his eyes and groans.
"Stay tuned for the next episode including the most exciting Campfire Ceremony yet! On this extremely hot episode of Total Drama Fans vs. Favorites!"
Theme Song
Mess Hall (outside)
"It's. So. Freaking. Hot." Melinda moans fanning herself. She and Bridgette are sitting in the shade on the steps to the Mess Hall.
Bridgette nods wearily. "I don't I've been this hot since my vacation in Miami." She says. She takes Geoff's hat off and wipes the sweat off her forehead.
Joe and Fox walk up to them and collapse on the steps.
"I'm starting to hate the sun." Fox says, leaning back and closing his eyes.
"Yeah, I'm gonna get a major sunburn." Joe says rubbing his bald head.
"I burn so easily." Melinda says.
"I have some extra sunscreen if you want to borrow it." Joe tells her. Melinda shakes her head.
"I think you should just use it for yourself. Don't you have a hat or something?"
"No. I forgot it at home."
"You're going to get a really bad sunburn if you don't wear a hat Joe." Bridgette tells him. "Here you can wear Geoff's hat." She pushes the cowboy hat into his hands.
"Are you sure about this Bridge?"
"Yeah it's fine. You need it more than I do."
Joe grins. "Thanks." He puts the cowboy hat on. "How do I look?"
"Ridiculous." Fox says cracking a smile.
"I think he looks hot." Izabella says coming out from the Mess Hall and sitting down next to Joe. "Hey."
Joe blushes. "Hi Izi."
Izabella kisses his cheek. "You're so cute when you blush."
"Okay, I get enough PDA from Alejandro and Fiona." Melinda stands. "I'll see you guys later." She walks away toward her cabin.
Bridgette smiles. "Took you two long enough."
This makes both Joe and Izabella blush and smile.
Fox grins. "That means Eddy owes me ten bucks. He bet that you guys wouldn't get together until the merge."
"People were betting if Joe and I would get together?"
"Yup. Eddy's actually got a lot of underground bets going. I'm surprised you haven't heard of them." Fox tells them.
"Yeah, there's one based on when and if me and Fiona get into a cat fight." Bridgette says.
"I even bet on that." Gwen says walking out of the Mess Hall and sitting next to Fox. "You're normally a non-violent person, but I think that even you want to take a swing at her."
Bridgette shakes her head. "No it'll probably be Heather. She's getting so jealous of Fiona and Alejandro."
Mary skips out of the Mess Hall, the heat not dampening her mood.
"Why are you guys being so lazy?" She asks. She pulls Fox and Gwen up. "C'mon go for a swim with me. It'll be fun."
Fox shrugs. "Sounds good."
"I'm in." Bridgette says.
"Us, too." Joe says.
"Okay!" Mary skips to the cabin, the other alliance members and Bridgette all go to get their bathing suits. Joe gets up and looks to Izabella. "Coming?"
"In a minute." She says. Joe smiles at her then goes to the cabin. Izabella stands and walks into the Mess Hall. She spots Eddy with Theodore playing some kind of card game.
"Hey Eddy. What's up Theo?" She says sitting.
"Not much. Theo is actually pretty good at rummy." Eddy says looking at his cards.
"Yeah but somehow you beat me every time." Theodore says.
"I learned from the best."
"So Eddy I hear you've got a bet going on who's going to be the first to beat up Fiona." Eddy looks up from his card and grins at her.
"I might. You in?"
"Definitely." Eddy puts down his cards and turns to her.
"How much are you willing to lose?"
On the other side of the Mess Hall, Greg and Heather sit, each has a bad mood from the weather.
"Is Chris too cheap to get air conditioners?" Greg asks Heather. She rolls her eyes.
"Chris is too cheap to get paper fans." She tells him and looks out the window. She sits up. "Oh my God!"
"What is it now?"
Heather looks angrily out the window. "I can't believe it. They're tanning together!"
"Who?"
"Alejandro and that slut!" Heather shouts pointing at Alejandro and Fiona who are indeed, lying on blankets and soaking in the sun's rays.
"And this concerns me why?" Greg asks, annoyed.
"She cannot tan with him! It's like… wrong!"
"I bet they've done more than tan together." Greg looks out the window. "I can see why you're jealous. Fiona's looking really hot right now."
"I AM NOT JELOAUS!"
Greg smirks at Heather. "Whatever you say."
Heather continues to glare at Alejandro and Fiona as Greg stands and walks out of the Mess Hall, accidentally bumping into Fox on his way out.
"Watch it." Greg says, scowling at him. Fox looks at him curiously before walking past him.

Fox: Greg's never liked me very much. But when it was basically known that Trent was going home, he started being a real jerk to me. Does this always need an arch enemy or something?

Screaming Turtles Cabin (Girls)
Gwen and Mary walk out of the cabin in their bathing suits and find Duncan waiting on the steps.
"What do you want Duncan?" Gwen asks coldly.
"Gwen, please just hear me out." Duncan pleads with her. Then he sees Mary. "Scram." He tells her.
Mary starts to leave but Gwen grabs her arm.
"Mary, please stay I need a witness." Gwen says to her.
"All right Gwen." Mary says, going back to stand next to her.
Gwen looks at Duncan. "What do you want to say to me?"
Duncan sighs. "I'm sorry Gwen. I didn't mean to act like a jerk. I'll admit I was jealous of seeing you with Trent and Fox and even Cody. Any one of those guys could have gotten you."
"What do you mean by 'gotten me'?"
Duncan winces. Poor choice of words. "I didn't mean that."
"Duncan, for your information, it takes a lot to 'get me'."
"Oh please, all I had to do was walk into a bathroom and say 'hi'." Mary's eyes widen and she shakes her head at Duncan but it's too late.
"Excuse me! Are you saying I'm some kind of slut?"
"Well I don't know about slut, but you had barely broken up with Trent and you were all over me while I still was with Courtney."
"Duncan." Mary hisses in warning.
Gwen narrows her eyes at Duncan. "So according to you I am a slut. Is that what you think of me? That I'll just move onto another guy just because it's a new season?"
"No, no I don't think that! Well… maybe I-"
"Shut up Duncan!" Gwen yells at him. She stomps up to him and points her finger at his nose, "You are the most ungrateful, immature, asshole I have ever known!" Gwen walks away from him, her fists clenched.
"Well you're-you're- you're immature too!" Is the only response Duncan can come up with. He sees Mary. "What are you looking at?" He growls at her.
Mary gives him the finger then follows Gwen. Duncan stands there for a few seconds in shock.
"Hey, Duncan, are you okay?" Owen asks, poking him.
"No Owen! I am not okay!" Owen backs up a little frightened.
"Whoa calm down there Duncan." Noah tells him. Duncan turns away and storms back to his cabin, grumbling about how stupid girls were.

"What's he on about?" Noah asks. Owen shrugs.
"Izzy let him go!" The boys turn and watch as Izzy runs into camp carrying Balo. Static runs after her.
"Izzy put him down!" She shouts at the psycho. Izzy hides behind Owen.
"But Izzy must sacrifice the sheepy." Izzy says happily.
Balo's eyes widen. "BAAAAAAAAAAH!" He tries to escape, but Izzy's grip is vise like.
"Uh, why do you have to sacrifice the sheep?" Noah asks.
"To appease the volcano gods!"
"Izzy that was last season."
"Izzy please let Balo go." Static pleads.
Izzy thinks for a moment. "Well I guess I could sacrifice Noah instead. He's about as big as sheepy." Izzy tosses Balo to Static and turns to Noah, a grin on her face.
Noah starts to back. "Izzy you're not gonna-"
"SACRIFICE!" Noah yelps and runs. Owen grabs Izzy, preventing her from chasing after him.
"C'mon Iz. Leave the guy alone. He just healed from his injuries." Owen says to her.
"Izzy must sacrifice though. The hotness gods demand it."
"You are not sacrificing Balo!" Static says and runs away, carrying a very frightened Balo.
"Izzy maybe you can sacrifice something that's, I don't know, not living." Owen suggests.
Izzy thinks. "Okay, then I'll sacrifice Mr. Coconut."
"No! Not Mr. Coconut!" Owen screams and runs back to his cabin.
"Hmm, Izzy needs a sacrifice before the gods get angry." Izzy says to herself.
"Attention campers. Report to the Amphitheatre for your challenge immediately."
"THE GODS HAVE SPOKEN!" It appears the heat has caused Izzy to go even more insane.
Amphitheatre
Chris stands on the stage and watches as the campers trickle in. Gwen, Bridgette, Izabella, Joe, Fox and Mary are still in their bathing suits from swimming and Alejandro and Fiona bring their beach chairs so they can tan.
"Good you're all here. I got some good news for you." Chris says as soon as the campers are settled.
"Is it about food?" Owen asks.
"Is this a reward challenge?" Bridgette asks.
"Are you gonna finally shave your neck hair?" Duncan asks.
"Nope, no and NO! The good news is that both teams will be going to the Campfire Ceremony tonight and each voting a member out."
"WHAT?" The campers shout.
"How is that good news?" Izabella yells at him.
"It is! It increases the drama, which means more ratings. So it is good news, for me." Chris grins at the angry looks at the campers' faces. "The other news is your challenge will once again be renewing a favorite past challenge. The talent show!"
"Yes! I've got plenty of talent." Melinda brags.
"Does that include being a bitch?" Eddy asks. Alejandro and Theodore grab Melinda before she can do serious harm to Eddy.
"Yes, the talent show. Only this time each of you will be showcasing a talent in front of three judges. The judges will rate you each on a 1 to 10 scale. The two campers on each team who get the highest scores will receive immunity and be safe from elimination tonight. Also the team with the highest score total will receive a reward."
"Let me guess, more twine?" Noah rolls his eyes.
"Nope, the winning team will receive an all-out BBQ party after their elimination ceremony!"
The campers cheer at that. Good food not made by Chef? Hell yes!
"Wait." Gwen says. "You said three judges. Assuming you and Chef will be judging, who will be the third judge?"
"I was hoping you'd ask that Gwen." Chris says in a way that's makes her feel like she's going to regret her question. "Chef will be one of the judges. However I will be hosting."
"Darn, I was hoping for Ryan Seacrest." Fox says quietly causing his alliance to erupt in giggles.
"Then who will the other two judges be?" Theodore asks.
"Good question Theodore. Get your butts out here. The dude first!" Chris shouts off-stage.
The campers hold their breath and wait. Then DJ steps onto the stage.
"DJ!" The favorites cheer and all (with the exception Alejandro and Heather) run up to hug him.
"Hey guys." He says when the group hug is finished. "It's good to see you guys. I'm gonna try my best to be an impartial judge." DJ says smiling.
"Hey DJ how is Geoff doing?" Bridgette asks. DJ's smile fades.
"He'll have to tell you later Bridgette, because we have to introduce our other guest judge." Chris says.
Duncan and Gwen feel a chill run through them as the next judge steps onto the stage. They turn.
"Damn." They both say.
"Hello Duncan, Gwen." Courtney says grinning. "This is going to be a great challenge."
I know you guys hate me for the cliffy end.
So now I need you guys help. If you would please PM me or review what your OC's talent is going to be. It can be super descriptive or something simple like "So-and-so eats an apple." (though I doubt he'll win). I will be deciding who wins. At least three OC's will be picked fairly, but of course anything can happen. Also if you want to suggest talents for the favorites, I would appreciate it. But I have plenty of ideas.
You'll have two weeks to do this. If you do not send in a talent for your OC, then they have no chance at winning immunity. There will be an OC going to Playa Del Losers. So… :D
So, PM, review and vote!
Ex. Melinda will be dancing to "Born this way" by Lady Gaga (I didn't put it in the app? Well thank goodness the author is so flexible)
Note: Melinda WILL NOT win, and hope fully only 1 favorite will win immunity.
