"Last time on Total Drama 60 Club!" Heather said. "We had a billion dollar bike race! The cancellation idol was introduced, which works like the Chris head, but is played before the votes are read, yet after they are cast. In the bike race, Ezekiel, Chris, LeShawna, Eva, and Lindsay found themselves on the chopping block, as Lindsay created a quick alliance with Ezekiel. However, that alliance was quickly broken when Lindsay 'accidentally' crashed into Ezekiel in the second race, sending him and Bridgette home. Or was is accidental? Anyway, we quickly established the 2 teams for the 2 team stage: Blue Square and Orange Delta. They were then sent into their first challenge: a talent contest! Emma's rapping and Beth's baton twirling set Orange Delta well ahead, and after Mark failed at playing a drum solo and Sierra pissed off EVERYONE, Blue Square was sent to elimination. And Eva was PISSED. Well, not really. She freaked out as part of Bermuda Square's evil plan, after Mark found the cancellation idol! In the end, Eva got 5 votes, but Mark used the cancellation idol, and Kitty got blindsided with 4 votes in probably one of the most important eliminations this season! Bermuda Square is in power, and they are out for blood! Will Bermuda Square finish what they started? Will someone else get blindsided? And who will come one step closer to winning ONE! BILLION! DOLLARS?! Find out right here, right now, on Total! Drama! 60 Club!" The theme song played.

"Kitty got blindsided?!" Emma said in the confessional. "Watch out, Bermuda Square, this just got personal!"

"I feel a little bad about this," Eva said in the confessional. "A little. But hey, this is Total Drama! You had to see this coming! I'm not here to be nice, I'm here to win my cut of a billion dollars! We're all here for the money, to play the game! And that's what makes Total Drama both the best and worst show in the world. Buh-bye, Kitty!"

"Fuck you, Mark!" Liam said in the confessional. "Hook me up with the most fun-loving contestant in the game, and break my heart?! I'LL GET YOU, MATCHMAKER, AND YOUR NOT-SO-LITTLE GIRLFRIEND, TOO! Oh, and the rest of Bermuda Square. If I win, I'm going to build the stadium of Mark's dreams, and hire some people to kidnap Mark to force him to watch me burn it down!" He made the throat slash gesture, showing just how pissed at Mark he was.

"Mark is so dead," Chris said in the confessional. "Everyone on this team is going to vote for him!"

"I know I've got the target on my back," Mark said in the confessional. "No matter. Chris is spoiled rotten; I'll easily defeat him in the tiebreaker. As long as it's not a quiz about himself."

In the Blue Square cabin...

"What the fuck have you done?!" Liam said.

"Won a quarter of a billion dollars, that's what," Mark replied. "And now is the time to unleash the secrets I've been keeping from you. Be warned: the information I'm about to give you may shock you. You may not even believe it, or not want to, but it's what happening, and it's not worth trying to hide anymore; the cat's already out of the bag. Also, the Kitty is out of the game."

"So, what the fuck is going on?"

"Me, Cody, Mark, and Eva made a deal," Sierra said. "We agreed that, if any of us won, we'd split the money 4 ways,so we'd each get $250 million. That's when we decided to call ourselves Bermuda Square."

"As an expert strategist," Mark said, "I decided to create several smaller alliances with Bermuda Square, using my matchmaking ability to make friends, and make people not want to vote me out. I rode on their backs through to this point, trying to avoid elimination ceremonies, but showing my claws when I had to. As the 4 teams became 2, I realized that you could figure it out, and blindside one of us, which we could not possibly come back from, so I had the target put on Eva, allowing us to blindside Kitty. That's what's been going on all game. So, what do you all think?"

"Actually, that's really smart!" Sammy said.

"And don't think I only made friends to win. I want to hang out with you guys after the game! You're all such nice people, and it's sad that I have to lead with my worst self. If you want to call me evil, go ahead. But I'm not the only problem for you. On the other side of the game is the Tripartite Alliance. Lindsay, Tyler, and Beth. They're working together to win, and have been playing dumb and nice to gain popularity, and not be seen as threats. They have framed a few people already, getting them voted out. We've won the battle of this team."

"You realize you have 4 votes against you, right?" Chef said.

"We will NOT lose at a tiebreaker," Cody said. "I promise you that. If you really want to try, be my guest."

"Of course, none of you have to go home if we win every challenge," Eva said, "at least, not until the merge.

"True," Chef said. "And then, we've got enough votes to pick 'em off! Maybe through use of the Tripartite Alliance!"

"There's NO WAY this Tripartite Alliance exists," Sammy said.

"Don't believe me, then," Mark said. "I can't force you to think anything. But I promise you this: I am speaking the truth. And they're allied with Noah and Emma. That's FIVE votes. We only have 4. We've already decided who to vote off next, but we won't tell you. Have fun…"

"Wow…" Chef said, as Mark, Eva, Sierra, and Cody walked out.

"I see you found out the truth about Bermuda Square…" Heather said, walking in.

"Yeah, and I don't want to believe it!" Liam said.

"This is happening, Liam," Sammy said. "I don't like it, but it's happening. It's happening, and there's nothing we can do about it."

"Unless we vote them out!" Chris said. "We need to make an alliance, find the weakest of the four, and beat them at a tiebreaker!"

"That's a good idea!" Chef said.

"OK, let's do it!" Liam replied. "But what should we call ourselves?"

"How about Second Square?" Sammy suggested. "We are the second 4-person alliance, up against the first square: Bermuda Square!"

"That is genius!" Chris said. "Now, we've gotta get training for the tiebreaker. Wait, who should we go against?"

"Cody. He's the least athletic," Liam said.

"But he's super smart!" Sammy said. "What if the tiebreaker is mental?"

"Ugh, they've got every base covered," Chris said. "And for sure we don't want to send Mark up; he's the ultimate concoction of brains, brawn, agility, and basically everything!"

"Yeah, he's SUPER strong!" Chef replied. "I would not want to face him in a head-to-head!"

In the spa hotel, with Orange Delta…

"OK, we need to talk strategy," Noah said, with Emma, Lindsay, Tyler, and Beth in the room.

"Yes, we do," Lindsay said. "Namely, who do we take out first? We don't have to worry about that cancellation idol; Bermuda Square already used it."

"True," Emma replied. "Anyway, I think the biggest threat here is LeShawna. She's strong, she's popular, and she might be getting on to you!"

"LeShawna? Onto US?!" Beth replied, before laughing. "We have her wrapper around our fingers so much, she's a fucking ring to us! No, we need to vote out Izzy. She's athletic, and will vote randomly."

"Random vote?"

"It's IZZY," Noah said. "Of course she'll vote randomly! She is nuttier than-"

"A 10 ton bag of pecans, covered in peanut butted, encased in a cashew the size of China?"

"Wow, you got it word-for-word!" Beth said.

"Yeah, I watched World Tour over again while I was home," Emma replied. "After all, this show's only on once a day!"

"Couldn't get enough of me, huh?" Noah said, smirking.

"Oh, they are SO in love!" Lindsay said. "But focus! We need to stop an uprising! Who do we vote out?"

"Well, it seems the candidates are down to Izzy and LeShawna," Tyler said.

"Look, let's just decide when we get sent to elimination, OK?" Noah proposed. "It's down to two, we'll pick one later on."

"That sounds good to me!" Lindsay replied.

"Hey, guys!" Izzy said as she walked in. "So, FYI, little drama on Blue Square: Mark said he blindsided Kitty, and then there was something about a deal between him and Sierra, Cody, and Eva to split the money. Anyway, the other 4 made an alliance, and Mark said something about an alliance between Lindsay, Tyler, and Beth! See ya!" She jumped out the window, and ran off.

"Izzy?" Noah said.

"Totally," Tyler replied.

"For sure," Emma said.

"You know it!" Beth said.

"So, now, we've got a whole other alliance to deal with, huh?" Lindsay said in the confessional.

"Shit just got real," Noah said in the confessional. "Still, no wonder my cousins aren't allowed to watch this show! Kitty's elimination was definitely a reminder of that; heck, that sort of elimination is WHY they're not allowed!"

"This is insane!" Emma said in the confessional. She then threw her arms outwards. "Are you not entertained?!"

In the mess hall…

"Good morning, contestants!" Alejandro said. "I hope you've rested well, because it's time for our next challenge! After today, we will leave the island. For today's challenge, you'll be competing for immunity and a bunch of rewards! Welcome to the Total Drama auction! Each of you have 500 TD Currency to spend on various items I will auction off. Bidding will be in increments of 20. Sharing of money and items is totally permitted. Note that the auction will end without warning. Also, once again, the cancellation idol has been hidden somewhere in the forest. If it is not found by the end of the day, a Chris head will be hidden on the jet. After the auction is over, we will go to the immunity challenge. Let's begin."

"Damn, an auction?" Mark said in the confessional. "Didn't think they'd do that!"

"First item," Alejandro said, "is information related to the game. That is all I will tell you."

"It's probably a clue to the location of the cancellation idol," Sammy said in the confessional, "so I wasn't too concerned with Bermuda Square winning.

"500!" Sierra yelled.

"500 to Sierra! Going once, going twice… sold for 500 to Sierra! Come on up!" Sierra walked up, and Alejandro uncovered a piece of paper. "You've got 60 seconds to read and memorize this, starting now!" Sierra read the paper, which read "There is an alliance between Liam, Sammy, Chris, and Chef, known as Second Square." She then walked back.

"Your fear has come to pass," Sierra whispered to Mark. "The others made an alliance."

"Shit." Mark passed on the information to Eva, and Sierra informed Cody.

"Time for our next item!" Alejandro said. "It's a trip to Playa Des Losers for yourself and another contestant of your choice, where you'll enjoy pampering of a 5-star resort, gourmet food, and potentially some romance, too! Also, you will sit out of the challenge, and give your team an advantage to make up for your absence."

"320!" Mark yelled.

"I didn't want to wear myself out, in case of a tiebreaker," Mark said in the confessional.

"340!" Chris said.

"Help me out here," Mark whispered to Eva. She nodded, handing him all of her money.

"360!" Cody bid

"360 to Cody!" Alejandro said.

"380!" Liam bid.

"400!" Mark bid.

"420!"

"440!"

"Damn, they want it," Lindsay whispered to Tyler.

"FIVE HUNDRED TWENTY," Mark said. Liam looked at his other alliance members, none of which were willing to give up their money.

"520 to Mark!" Alejandro announced. "Going once, going twice… sold for 520!" Mark came up with all of his money, and 20 of Eva's.

"Throw it. Make sure the Second Square votes Cody," Mark whispered to Eva.

"Who's going with you?" Alejandro asked.

"Cody," Mark replied.

"OK. The Boat of Losers will take you over after the auction. Blue Square, you'll find out your advantage later on."

"Why didn't you take me?" Eva asked Mark.

"I can't say. Anyway, just do your thing in the challenge for me, alright?" He winked at Eva.

"Of course." Mark sat back down.

"First 100 will get a bag full of candy!" Alejandro said.

"Hundred!" Cody instantly yelled, jumping up and yelling so exciedly, he could be confused for a sports fan who had just seen Team Canada win the Olympics at Hockey.

"And Cody gets it! Don't get up. If you want, you can trade the candy for whatever is under this cover! Or, you can take what's in this bucket!"

"I'll keep the candy, thanks."

"OK, I have good news and bad news. The good news is, you did NOT buy…" Alejandro showed the bucket, which was full of sand. "A bucket of sand. However, you gave up…" Alejandro opened the cover, "3 large BBQ chicken pizzas and nachos."

"500 for the pizzas and nachos!" Owen yelled. Alejandro looked at him awkwardly for a few seconds. "What? BBQ chicken is awesome!"

"Sold! Pizzas and nachos to Owen for 500! This deal also includes 3 bottles of cream soda."

"Awesome!" Owen came up, and handed Alejandro the money. He and Izzy both dug in, and even Noah got a bit. Emma seemed disinterested, though.

"Next item," Alejandro said, "will remain covered."

"60," Lindsay bid.

"100," Eva bid

"120."

"140."

"180."

"200."

"220."

"240."

"260."

"Fine, it's yours."

"Going once… going twice…" Alejandro began

"280!" Izzy bid.

"300," Lindsay bid.

"320," Chef bid.

"340!" Izzy bid.

"360," Beth bid.

"Going once… going twice…" Alejandro said, "sold for 360 to Beth!" Beth came up. "You just bought… 20 TDCU."

"You're fucking me…"

"And you are down to 160."

"Well, at least they reduced your loss a bit," Mark remarked, before bursting into laughter. EVERYONE on Blue Square began laughing, and even Noah and Emma let out a bit of a chuckle.

"Oh, ha ha," Beth said.

"Well, let's continue," Alejandro said. "Next up, we have letters from home for 20 each for anyone who wants them!"

"Over here!" Cody said.

"Yo," Liam said.

"Might as well," Lindsay said. Tyler, Beth, LeShawna, Trent, Noah, and Emma all took letters as well.

"I'll take one," Eva said. "You want one, Mark, Sierra?"

"Sure!" Sierra said.

"Nah," Mark replied.

"Oh, you're getting one for free, Mark!" Heather said. She handed Mark a letter. Mark opened, and his eyes widened.

"YES YES YES YES YES!" Mark screamed.

"What's up?" Eva questioned. Mark showed the letter to her.

"I'M GONNA BE A HUSKY!" Mark began sobbing. The letter was a letter of intent for him to sign to get an athletic scholarship to UW.

"You're going to Washington!" Alejandro said.

"Congrats, dude!" Cody said.

"Looks like your plan worked," Chris said.

"I thought you wanted to sign with Michigan!" Noah said.

"Yeah, but that would separate me from Eva," Mark replied, kissing Eva on the freckle. "If we don't break up, I'll sign."

"I thought you two broke up last night!" Lindsay said.

"It was a fake breakup," Liam said, annoyed from the reminder of how his girlfriend got voted out. "They blindsided Kitty doing that. Seems they're playing dirty."

"Yes, we are," Cody replied. "But how long have we survive, you all knowing us to be manipulators?"

"Good point," Trent remarked.

"Blackmail, blindsiding, alliances," Sierra said, "and most of all, matchmaking."

"Blackmail?" Lindsay asked.

"She's talking about when they blackmailed me into voting Gwen off," Noah replied.

"You did what?!" Sammy said, shocked.

"To save you!" Mark replied. "You could have been voted out!"

"By who?"

"Gwen and Trent. They'd say anything to use your losing to Cody to their advantage, to keep Gwen in the game."

"That may be how you operate, but I have more class than that," Trent rebutted.

"So you wouldn't save Gwen from getting voted off?" Cody interrogated.

"Not using underhanded tactics! OK, I'm out of here. Lindsay, buy yourself something nice." Trent grabbed the letter, handed all his money to Lindsay, and left the mess hall.

"Well, that was interesting," Alejandro said. "Next item up for bid is the cancellation idol!" Everyone gasped as Alejandro held up the cancellation idol. "This item comes with a twist."

"OK, with that idol comes a massive target," Mark said in the confessional. "But a 1 out of 4 chance of instantly winning? I like that!"

Mark motioned for the rest of Bermuda Square to give him all of their money. They did so, giving him 940.

"He doesn't have enough to beat us!" Sammy said. "Chris! Give all your money to me!"

"Why should I?"

"500!" Mark bid.

"That's why!" Sammy said.

"Going once…" Alejandro said.

"Just do it!" Chef said.

"Going twice…"

"Fine!" Chris said, handing Sammy his money.

"960!" Sammy bid.

"Dammit…" Mark said. Noah smirked at Mark, and Lindsay seemed smug about Sammy getting the cancellation idol.

"YES! The Tripartite Alliance has finally won!" Lindsay said in the confessional.

"All we have to do is pull a blindside, and we win…" Mark said in the confessional. "And then win the tiebreaker… aw, who am I kidding, with my luck, we've fallen at the last second."

"Anyway, as for the twist I've just mentioned," Alejandro said. "You have the idol, but you will be headed to exile on Boney Island. You will not attend elimination tonight, meaning you are safe, but you cannot vote, or play any idols." Everyone instantly realized what that meant: it gave Bermuda Square control of the vote, 4 to 3.

"YES!" Sierra yelled.

"WE JUST FUCKING WON!" Mark yelled, jumping up, as Eva caught him in the air, twirling him around. Liam buried his head in his hands.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Chris yelled, falling to his knees. Sammy teared up a little, sad about the loss.

"I'm sorry, but it's just the game…" Mark said, patting Sammy on the back.

"You traitor!"

"I had to turn on you eventually. You know that, right? This day was inevitable. But such is the nature of the game."

"I realize that I basically sold elimination," Alejandro said in the confessional. "Wow, I love being the host of this show!"

"OK, time for another item!" Alejandro said. "This one will remain covered."

"20," Lindsay bid.

"40," Noah bid.

"How 'bout 60?" Mark bid.

"100," Emma bid.

"120!" Izzy bid.

"140," Mark bid.

"160!" Lindsay bid.

"180!"

"200!"

"260!"

"280!"

"375!"

"That's not a legal bid, Mark," Alejandro said.

"I have no clue where that number came from!" Mark replied, smiling. Everyone began laughing. "Anyway, 380."

"400," Tyler bid.

"420."

"440."

"500."

"Going once…" Alejandro said, "going twice… sold for 500 to Mark!"

"So, what'd I get?" Mark asked.

"This!" Alejandro uncovered the plate, making Mark gasp. It was milk and cookies! "Milk and cookies! Enjoy!"

"Awesome!" Mark replied, taking the milk and cookies.

"You realize we gave him the money to try to buy a cursed immunity idol, right?" Cody whispered to Sierra.

"True," Sierra replied.

"Next item!" Alejandro said. "How about meals prepared by James for the rest of the game for yourself and a person of your choice?"

"480!" Emma bid.

"Going once… going twice… sold for 480 to Emma! Who's getting the reward with you?"

"Noah, of course!"

"OK, Emma, Noah, all meals for you two will be prepared by James!" Heather said. "And Alejandro, honey, you need to go finish setting up the challenge!"

"There's still stuff left to sell!" Alejandro replied.

"Where is it?"

"Over there." Alejandro pointed to a hidden cabinet. "If nothing's in there after you auction something off, the auction's over."

"How many things do I have to sell?"

"Actually, I wasn't told. It'll have a note if you're supposed to leave it covered."

"OK then." Alejandro walked off, handing Heather the gavel.

"Alright, now that Ale-jerk-dro is gone," Heather said, "the auction is mine. Let's continue. Our next item is a…" Heather uncovered it. "...a… OK, I honestly have no idea what this is." It was a scroll of paper.

"440!" Mark yelled.

"500!" Chef bid. Lindsay nudged Tyler, who handed her 40.

"520!" Lindsay bid.

"Going once… going twice… sold to Lindsay for 520!" Heather announced.

"Shit…" Mark said, under his breath, as Lindsay took the paper.

"So, this is a royalty advantage," Lindsay said in the confessional, "which is like a cancellation idol, but I can only play it at the final 12. If I get voted out, I have to will it to someone else. Basically useless in stopping Bermuda Square, and with our alliance with Noah and Emma, useless regardless. Not to say I will not play it, though."

"Well, on that note," Heather said, "this auction is over. Cody, Mark, the boat of losers awaits."

"See y'all in a few!" Mark said, grabbing Cody's arm. They left.

"Rest of you, prepare for today's challenge."

"Throw it," Mark whispered to Eva. "Sabotage if you have to. This is our chance to have voting power forever!"

"Got it," Eva replied. Mark kissed Eva on the freckle, as he and Cody left.

"Alright, Blue Square, you wanna know what your advantage is?" Heather said.

"Sure!" Liam replied.

"You'll wear sticky suits for this next challenge!" Heather through unflattering sticky suits at them.

"I'm not putting this on," Chris said.

"What is with this?!" Chef added, throwing it back at Heather.

"I'll use it!" Liam said. Eva and Sierra threw their sticky suits at Heather.

"Fine, then," Heather said. "Follow me to your next challenge!

On the beach…

There was a blue pole and an orange pole in the middle of a large blue and orange striped square.

"Welcome to today's challenge!" Heather said. "In each round, one person will hold onto the pole, while two members of the opposing team will try to rip them off the pole, and get them out of bound. The first team to get the other team's player out of bounds scores a point. The first team to score 3 points wins immunity, and the other team will be sending someone home. All sabotage and tactics to remove the opposing player are fully allowed. Now do you see why you got the sticky suits, Blue Square?"

"You are harsh, Heather," Chris said.

"Each team will choose their own attackers, but those holding the pole will be determined by random draw. No one will be on the pole twice. To determine who's on the pole, you'll draw seashells I found. One of them has been painted. If you draw the painted seashell, you're on the pole. Blue Square, you're first. Grab a seashell out of the bag from behind you, and don't look at it." Everyone on Bermuda Square grabbed a seashell. "OK, on the count of 3, reveal your seashell. 1…

2…

3!" The seashells were revealed, and Liam's was painted. "Liam is on the pole for Blue Square! Give me back my seashells."

"It's SUPER important for the Second Square for us to win this challenge," Liam said in the confessional. "Then, Sammy returns, and we have a 1 in 4 chance of taking down Bermuda Square instantly! I bet Bermuda Square will be doing whatever it takes to lose the challenge, so they can vote one of us out."

"If we win, Sammy lets Second Square back into the game!" Eva said in the confessional. "So, we're not even going to hide it; we are trying to throw the challenge. Simple. As. That. Ultimately, this is going to be up to chance, to quite an extent."

"Orange Delta, pick a seashell!" Heather said. Everyone on Orange Delta picked a seashell. "On the count of 3 reveal! 1…

2…

3!" The seashells were revealed, and Owen's was painted. "Owen is on the pole for Orange Delta! Give me back my seashells."

"YES!" Sierra let out, causing Eva to give her a dirty look. "Sorry…"

"OK, that confirms it," Sammy said, "they're trying to lose. Me and Chef."

"But Eva's the only one strong enough to move Owen!" Chris said.

"You think she'll be of any help?!" Liam replied.

"Of course I'll be of help!" Eva said.

"I'll help them see their families again!" Eva said in the confessional.

"Fine, she can go!" Sammy said.

"Good," Eva replied.

"But Chef is going with you," Liam said. "She tries anything, take her down."

With Orange Delta…

"I'll go," LeShawna said.

"Me too!" Izzy said. No one seemed to have any objections.

"So," Heather said, "it's Eva and Chef attacking for Blue Square, with Owen on the pole, and LeShawna and Izzy attacking for Orange Delta, with Liam on the pole. Ready?"

"Ready!" everyone replied.

"OK, 3… 2… 1… go!" Eva let Chef get ahead, while LeShawna and Izzy basted in front. Eva then took Chef down from behind, and picked him up, throwing him into the water. She then ran over to Liam, where LeShawna and Izzy were working on getting him off.

"Girl, what are you doing?" LeShawna asked.

"Trying to sabotage us? I'll fend her off!" Izzy jumped in front of Eva, who proceeded to blast her with her arm, right into the cliff. LeSahwna and Eva worked together to remove Liam.

"What the fuck, Eva?!" Liam questioned.

"This is the rising of Bermuda Square…" Eva replied. Eva grabbed Liam's hair, ripped him off the pole, and threw him into the cliff.

"And Orange Delta scores a point!" Heather announced. Orange Delta celebrated, while Blue Square, except for Sierra and Eva, seemed crushed, while Sierra and Eva were smirking.

"This is the most flagrant challenge throwing in the history of Total Drama!" Heather said in the confessional. "I have never, and I mean NEVER, seen a strategy that calls for obvious challenge throwing! Scott threw challenges, but it wasn't obvious!"

Liam was taken away by medics, as he hit the cliff especially hard. "Blue Square, pick a seashell, and pray you don't get Eva'd!" Heather said. There was some laughter, but mostly from Orange Delta. Everyone on Blue Square knew the gravity of the situation. Everyone on Blue Square picked a seashell. "On the count of 3 reveal! 1…

2…

3!" The seashells were revealed, and Chef's was painted. "Chef is on the pole for Blue Square! Give me back my seashells."

"You got this," Sammy said, patting Chef on the back.

"Orange Delta, pick a seashell!" Heather said. Everyone on Orange Delta picked a seashell. "On the count of 3 reveal! 1…

2…

3!" The seashells were revealed, and Beth's was painted. "Beth is on the pole for Orange Delta! Give me back my seashells."

"We'll take it," Trent said, shrugging.

With Blue Square...

"OK, Eva is NOT going back out there," Chris said.

"Agreed," Sammy said. "But Liam's out, so who goes?"

"I guess by default, it's me and you, Sammy," Chris said.

"You're calling me Sammy?"

"Yes I am. Mark made me, and besides, I wanted to anyway. You know season 6 me was a forced persona! That's why I was so cold; the network forced me to!"

"I heard your conversation with Mark," Sierra said. "Not fair, what the network did."

"Nor is what you're doing."

"If the tables were turned, you'd be trying to throw the challenge, too."

"True," Sammy noted.

"Well, this only ups the ante," Chris noted. "We're fighting for our lives in the game! Anyway, if we're not sending out Eva or Sierra, Chef's on the pole, and Liam's hurt, it's me and Sammy by default."

"True," Eva noted.

With Orange Delta…

"We need the two strongest people out there," LeShawna said. "Owen, can you pull a load?"

"Sure thing!" Owen replied.

"OK, go get 'em!"

"Alright," Heather announced, "attacking for Blue Square, it's Chris and Sammy, with Beth on the pole, and attacking for Orange Delta, Owen and LeShawna, with Chef on the pole. Go!" The attackers charged forward, and Sammy and Chris made it first. Sammy got behind Beth, grabbed her body from behind, and began pulling, while Chris tried to loosen her hands. LeShawna and Owen were trying to removed Chef's hands from the pole, but not making much progress. Eventually, Beth's hands were loose, and Sammy was easily able to remove her from the pole. She got up, carrying Beth over her head, and ran. LeShawna noticed, and took off after her, blasting Chris out of her way, and throwing sand at Sammy to slow her down, before tackling her.

"The only reason I'd do that is if we were all going after a billion dollars," LeShawna said in the confessional.

Beth got up, and her and Chris fought to get up, with LeShawna and Sammy also getting in on the action, with Owen still having a hard time removing Chef from the pole. Eventually, Beth was ejected from the pile, courtesy of a kick from Sammy, and landed out of bounds.

"And the point goes to Blue Square!" Heather announced.

"Don't worry, it's first to 3," Sierra whispered to Eva.

At Playa Des Losers…

"So, why'd you bring me?" Cody asked.

"Well, I didn't know about the idol," Mark replied. "I figured that they'd try to send you up against whoever we voted out in the tiebreaker, so I needed you in tip-top shape. No way they'd take their chances against me or Eva! Out of us 4, you're the least athletic, but also probably the smartest."

"Good idea. So, who do we boot when we get back?"

"I dunno." Mark was handed another sandwich, and bit into it. "Hey, where's the mayo?"

"That's Cody's sandwich, dude," an intern replied.

"Oh."

"Then I'm getting a bite of yours!" Cody replied.

"Trust me, you won't like it. It's, like, 90 percent mayo. I'm the only one who can handle it. Get Cody some BBQ chips, will ya?"

"Of course," the intern replied, handing Mark his sandwich.

"Well, that works," Cody replied.

"Care for a foot rub, either of you?" another intern asked.

"Naw, fam," Mark replied.

"No, only Sierra's allowed to touch my feet!" Cody replied.

"Damn, didn't know you took it that seriously!" Mark exclaimed.

"It was one of the first signs of affection Sierra gave to me. In direct competition with a LOT of other things. Though in the initial one, she did tarsal bone me. Anyway, that's why I'll only let Sierra do it; it's quite special to me."

"Huh. Well, love does what love does. No reason to fight it, though, don't you agree?"

"Mmm-hmm. But still, we gotta pick someone to vote out!"

"We need to have those discussions with Eva and Sierra, you know? After all, who knows what we're missing right now? Someone could have fucked up and Second Square fallen, and we don't know that!"

"Well, hopefully, we still lose. Otherwise, Sammy's idol can come back and bite us in the ass!"

"It could regardless. But it would have much less deadly results for the collective if it is played later."

"True. They can't fuck us over so bad if there's only one of them left!"

"So true, man. So true."

"Blue Square, pick a seashell!" Heather said. Everyone on Blue Square picked a seashell. "On the count of 3 reveal! 1…

2…

3!" The seashells were revealed, and Sierra's was painted. "Sierra is on the pole for Blue Square! Give me back my seashells."

"I knew, in that instant," Chef said in the confessional, "we were doomed."
"Easiest throw ever!" Sierra said in the confessional.

"Orange Delta, pick a seashell!" Heather said. Everyone on Orange Delta picked a seashell. "On the count of 3 reveal! 1…

2…

3!" The seashells were revealed, and Noah's was painted. "Noah is on the pole for Orange Delta! Give me back my seashells."

With Blue Square…

"It doesn't really matter who we send out there," Chris said, "Sierra will just run out of bounds anyway."

"True," Sierra replied.

"Let's just send out Eva and Chef, so it looks like we're trying," Chris said. "They're the two scariest people in the game?"

"Yeah, but it's debatable who's scarier!" Sammy remarked.

"Uh, little update on Liam," Alejandro said, "his concussion does put him out of the challenge."

"Dammit…" Chef said.

"Wait, if we stop Sierra from putting herself out of bounds, we could still get the point!" Chris said. "Chef and Sammy!"

"Dammit, they figured it out!" Eva said.

With Orange Delta…

"Me and LeShawna!" Emma said.

"Sure," LeShawna replied. No one else objected.

"OK," Heather said, "it's Emma and LeShawna attacking for Orange Delta, with Sierra on the pole, not even getting a grip, and Eva and Chef attacking for Blue Square, with Noah on the pole. This should be a curbstomp."

"You're goddamn right," Sierra replied.

"Go!" The attackers took off, but so did Sierra, running directly out of bounds. Chef threw some sand at LeShawna, causing her to fall, taking her and Emma down. Chef took off after Sierra, and blasted her to the ground just before she reached the line.

"This is turning into a challenge to keep Sierra in bounds!" Alejandro announced. "Battle of the alliances here!" Sammy wasn't having much trouble getting Noah off the pole. Sierra rolled to the bottom between her and Chef, and began slapping her hand, trying to touch out of bounds. Emma and Leshawna arrived, and were able to shove the pile out of bounds, also taking out Sierra.

"Orange Delta gets the point!" Heather announced. "It's Orange Delta: 2, Blue Square: 1! If Orange Delta scores one more point, they win!"

"And we go to elimination," Eva added, "and rise the flag of Bermuda Square…"

"Blue Square, pick a seashell!" Heather said. Everyone on Blue Square picked a seashell. "On the count of 3 reveal! 1…

2…

3!" The seashells were revealed, and Sammy's was painted. "Sammy is on the pole for Blue Square! Give me back my seashells."

"This could be huge…" Chris said.

"Orange Delta, pick a seashell!" Heather said. Everyone on Orange Delta picked a seashell. "On the count of 3 reveal! 1…

2…

3!" The seashells were revealed, and LeShawna's was painted. "LeShawna is on the pole for Orange Delta! Give me back my seashells."

"Dammit…" Sammy said.

"Well, it's me and Chef by default," Chris said.

With Orange Delta…

"Alright, let's win this!" Emma said. "Me and Noah, how 'bout that?"

"Do you think Noah is strong enough?" Lindsay questioned.

"Trust me, Lindsay, I got this," Noah replied.

"Alright," Heather said, "it's Chris and Chef attacking for Blue Square, with LeShawna on the pole, and Noah and Emma attacking for Orange Delta, with Sammy on the pole. Go!" The attackers took off. LeShawna proved to be incredibly strong, as it took a good while for Chef to free her hands. Chris held her down with his shoulder, allowing Chef to get her legs. Sammy was struggling, but Emma had managed to free her legs, and her and Noah were pulling her via the body. LeShawna's legs were freed, but she was able to grab back onto the pole with her arms. Noah and Emma got Sammy off the pole, and dragged her away, but she was putting up one hell of a fight, even slipping one arm out of Noah's grasp, before he got it back. Eventually, she was pulled out of bounds.

"And Orange Delta wins!" Heather announced.

"YES!" Sierra yelled, as she jumped into a hug with Eva. Chris buried his head in his hands.

"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Chef yelled, falling to his knees.

"That's right, we've done it!" Eva yelled. As she said this, the boat of losers returned, with Mark and Cody.

"Why you two so happy?" Mark asked.

"We lost! We won!" Eva replied.

"Um, that contradicts itself…"

"We lost the challenge, so we can vote someone off!" Sierra replied.

"NICE!" Mark yelled He jumped into Eva's arms, and Eva lifted him to the sky, celebrating. Sierra clutched Cody to her chest, with Cody pumping his hand into the air, and quickly, Sierra dragged Cody's head up her torso, and began making out with him.

"BERMUDA SQUARE JUST WON!" Mark yelled.

"No…" Liam said, as he came back, with bandages around his head.

"It's over. We lost," Sammy said, patting Liam on the back. "I'm sorry I couldn't hold on."

"It's not your fault, Sammy. It's not your fault."

"Sammy, it's time to head to exile," Heather said.

"Of course," Sammy said. She grabbed her stuff, stepped on the boat of losers, and left.

"With her goes our last chance at being salvaged from the storm that is Bermuda Square," Chef said in the confessional. "Tonight, one of us will be voted out. And there's nothing we can do."

Sammy was in the confessional, crying heavily. "It's over! I lost a billion dollars for everyone! And I can't even vote myself off for it!" She slapped herself across the face. "No, you can't let Amy, let Mark, let Vladimir, see you like this! You're better than this! It's time to be strong, Sammy, not some crybaby wimp. You tried your hardest…

...and it just wasn't enough."

"It pains me to see Sammy like this," Mark said in the confessional. "Or the rest of Second Square. This is one of the hardest parts of being a manipulator; kicking the puppies. For me, it's probably the one thing I least like to do. Poor guys, after tonight, they'll just be dead people walking. It's like the closing seconds of a football game, where the score's already so bad, you know you're going to lose, and just want the clock to run out so you can go home, but this is worse, because there was a billion dollars on the line, and it'll be going on for several days, not just 15 minutes. I hate to do it, but this game is ruthless. And hey, unless you're a super low seed, you're gonna have to beat a lower seed to win the tournament. If you were looking for an underdog story, you came to the wrong place. I'd hate to be on the other end of this, in an unwinnable game. But you know what I'm always taught in football? It's not over until the quarter display shows 4 and the clock shows zero, and maybe not even then."

"This is agony at its worst," Liam said. "Yes, I've suffered injuries doing what I do, but never have things hurt this bad. I can't win, but I'm still here, and I will play this game until Alejandro or Heather reads my name one time too many, and tells me, 'the club has spoken.'"

"I can't believe it…" Chris said. "So this is how it feels to be doomed in the game. I don't like it. This is something, you just can't imagine. If you tell me you know how I feel, and you're not Sammy, Chef, or Liam, I will know you're lying. This team is split between Bermuda Square, with a billion reasons to celebrate, and us, the fallen. It's not just a lost immunity challenge. It's a lost opportunity, for all 4 of us, a broken heart, a fallen tear, Bermuda Square splitting us up, seeing us as nothing more than room to fail. I know Mark has a heart, but it won't change his vote. He has never let his heart hold the pen over the paper he votes on, unless it stops him from voting Eva. And he's even built her into his strategy." Chris had a few tears fall. "We've failed. It's over. Bermuda Square… has won. The Second Square can't do anything anymore. It's too little, too late. I've faded from the public eye, and when I hear the 4 words everyone dreads hearing, it'll be the end of my career, I bet. To all of those that have gotten lost in the Square, I'm sorry I couldn't do anything more. I've already crossed the line, it won't be long before I'm lost in the Square."

In the Blue Square cabin…

"I know what this loss means," Liam said. "You don't have to say it."

"I don't need to remind you," Mark replied. "That would be unnecessarily cold. Tonight's vote is going to be painful for me, I just want you all to know that. You were all such awesome people, but this is the endgame. There's no room left for me to be that good, nice Mark that you all knew for so long, not anymore. Sometimes, you gotta do what you gotta do. Tonight will be no exception."

"I get it," Chef replied. "Sometime, you gotta leave your own behind. They still haunt me. Some of my closest friends, lost."

"Dude, you're getting voted off an island, not shot," Cody commented.

"Yeah, you're right. But losing a billion dollars isn't too far of a drop…"

"You didn't have the money in the first place, man!" Mark said.

"Still, it's strange," Sierra said. "On paper, we have the better chemistry, and are the strongest team, and yet, Orange Delta is so much more orderly!"

"Well, with the existence of Bermuda Square, unity on this team is not possible," Chris replied.

"Sadly, that's true," Cody noted.

"Well, it is what it is," Eva replied. "At least I'm on the right side of this."

"I'll see you later, then," Liam said, leaving. Chris and Chef followed, leaving Bermuda Square in the cabin.

"So, who should we vote off?" Mark asked.

"Probably Liam," Sierra said. "He's a liability, after he took that hit to the head. He was actually ruled out of the challenge for his concussion."

"He got a concussion?" Mark said.

"Long story short, I threw him into a cliff," Eva replied. "You'll hear the long story soon enough."

"Well, with that in mind, let's vote," Sierra said. "Sammy is immune, so the choices are Chris, Chef, and Liam. We all vote for the one we vote for as an alliance. Cody?"

"Chef," Cody voted.

"Liam," Eva voted.

"Liam," Mark voted.

"And I vote Liam too," Sierra said. "So, Cody, why did you vote for Chef?"

"He's the furthest from the alliance," Cody replied.

"Yes, but Liam's the most hurt by us," Mark argued. "He's out to get us way more than Chef is, because we didn't backstab Chef. Plus, Chef's strong, and Liam's injured. He needs to get attention, because I don't know how hard Eva threw him, but knowing what she could do, I'd be worried about that. We aren't trying to throw challenges anymore; at this point, it's pointless. We only threw the first 2 challenges to give ourselves security in the game."

"You've got a point. I change to Liam."

"OK, then," Eva said. "We'll vote out Liam tonight. Meeting adjourned."

At the campfire...

"OK, Blue Square, get voting!" Alejandro said.

"The Second Square casts its unified vote for Cody," Chris and Chef voted.

"The Second Square casts its unified vote for… oh, forget it. We're doomed anyway. At least I had some fun, and played clean. I wouldn't change a thing about this season."

"Bermuda Square, as a collective, hereby votes for Liam," Mark, Eva, Sierra, and Cody voted.

"The votes are in!" Alejandro said. "If anyone has the cancellation idol and would like to play it, now would be the time." No one did anything. "OK, I'll read the votes. The first vote is for…

...Cody." There was a frowny face next to his name. "The second vote is for...

...Cody." His name was written in ALL CAPS. "The third vote is for…

...Liam." A box was drawn around his name, showing who was responsible for the vote. "2 votes Cody, 1 vote Liam. The fourth vote is for…

...Liam." His name was struck through. "We're tied, 2 votes Cody, 2 votes Liam. The fifth vote is for…

…Cody." His name was circled. "The sixth vote is for...

...Liam." A heart was drawn next to his name. "3 votes Cody, 3 votes Liam, one vote left. The seventh vote is for…

...52nd person voted out of Total Drama 60 Club, Liam." liam's name was in all lowercase. "Liam, by a 4 to 3 vote, the club has spoken."

"Dammit…" Liam said, as he got up.

"The second square has fallen," Chris noted.

"Sammy won't be happy about this one," Chef added.

"I'm sorry, man," Mark said, giving Liam a hug. "Hey, if it makes you feel better, if you weren't hurt, we woulda kept you on."

"Thanks, man," Liam said. "I had the ride of my life, though. I wasn't here for the money, I was here to have some fun, meet some people, and become famous along the way!"

"Hey, you done good, man," Cody said.

"I actually liked you!" Eva added. "You were cool!"

"You know what you've gotta do next?" Sierra said. "Take your bungee cords, and jump off a bridge!" Liam looked back, and smiled at Sierra.

"I've jumped off several," Liam replied.

At the dock of shame…

"Are you sure you wanna do this?!" Alejandro said.

"FUCK YEAH!" Liam replied. "I'm Liam Miles! I gotta go out with a bang!" He was strapped to the boat of losers with parasailing equipment. "Oh, and make sure the guy doesn't take a direct route." The driver showed the thumbs up to Liam, who gave the same signal back, and just like that, they were off, with Liam screaming in excitement.

"Even in the face of elimination, Liam is Liam is Liam," Noah remarked.

"Well, that sure seems to ring true," Heather said. "And 16 remain! Can the Second Square somehow take out Bermuda Square? Will Orange Delta ever get any coverage? And who will come one step closer to winning ONE! BILLION! DOLLARS?! Find out next time, right here, on Total! Drama! 60 Club!"
