Eva, Brick, Blaineley and Ezekiel tread through the radioactive forest. As they make their way deeper into the forest, they stumble upon a cave. Inside, sits the Gorilla Horse. The creature rests on the ground, in the middle of a deep sleep. Brick, Blaineley and Ezekiel all uneasily step away; while Eva cracks her knuckles. She marches into the cave, and a series of horrifying roars and whinnies echo from the cave. Eva comes out of the cave, dragging the unconscious creature behind her.
"Oh...wow." Blaineley mutters, genuinely impressed.
"So uh, you're gonna drag it back to camp, eh?" Ezekiel asks.
"Yes." Eva responds flatly.
"Would you like some help?" Brick offers.
"Sure." Eva obligies, trying not to let on she's extremely flattered by Brick's offer.
Brick comes over to the Gorilla Horse, and grabs onto the back of it. The team trudges all the way back through the forest, until they stumble upon the Frog Slug. They all stop, not wanting to scare the creature away.
"Ezekiel, go get it." Blaineley commands.
"It's all slimy though, don'tcha' know?" Ezekiel whines.
"Now!" Eva screams, making Ezekiel scamper over to the creature and pick it up.
"Perfect, now we'll have the creature we need to bring back." Blaineley says.
"How do you know that's the creature we have to report back to Chris with?" Brick asks.
"I just do, okay? Maybe I'm like Dawn, and have a sixth sense." Blaineley says, flipping her hair back. "Regardless, let's get a move on, now! We still have three more of these awful things to find, and the camera is back with the rest of our team."
They make their way out of the forest and down to the docks, where the rest of their team sits; enjoying the sunny day. Eva throws the Gorilla Horse down on the docks, while Ezekiel gently places to Frog Slug down next to it.
"Oh my god!" Bridgette screams. "You killed it?"
"No." Eva states. "It's unconscious, so shut up. Now take the pictures!"
"Fine." LeShawna reluctantly agrees, snapping shots of the two creatures. "So what, you gonna' just take them back to the woods?"
"The horse thing, yes. The slug however is staying with us." Blaineley says. "This is the monster Chris wants our team to bring back to him. We just have to go find the cat thing, fish whatever and cow animal."
"How do you know Chris wants the Frog Slug?" Beth asks.
"I just do. And you'll trust me if you want to win. If you don't want to win, then consider your fate sealed." Blaineley says, snatching the camera from LeShawna. "Since you all clearly don't want to participate, it'll be easier if I take the camera."
"The plan was for us to wait here though!" Sadie says.
"Change of plans!" Blaineley screams. She looks over to Eva, who shrugs in agreement. With that, the alliance members head back into the forest to find the remaining three creatures; Eva dragging the Gorilla Horse behind her.
"We're never gonna' get Eva or Blaineley out of here." LeShawna sighs.
"She has a whole plan. First she wanted to lose to get people voted off, now she wants to use her alliance to get past the second merge, then pick people off!" Harold explains.
"Who were the people she wanted voted off?" Bridgette asks hesitantly.
"I know Zoey was one of them, and she got it done." Harold begins. "She wanted to destroy the Maggots and Bass teams, but they don't exist anymore. One thing I do know is...she wanted to get rid of you." he reveals to Bridgette.
"Me!?" Bridgette cries.
"Eva's been planning to get rid of you since day one, I'm pretty sure. And she got Blaineley in on it too! No one on our team is safe." Harold says.
"What should we do?!" Sadie asks. "Do we lose the challenge and try to get one of them voted off, or do we win so we're all safe?"
"It doesn't matter, y'all." LeShawna groans. "Either way, we lose."
Bridgette:
"I'm...terrified! I didn't realize Eva still had this violent hatred for me! I've never known someone so angry. At least Alejandro pretended to be nice to me, despite him being a total psychopath! This is a nightmare, a literal nightmare. I'm not sure what we're going to do. LeShawna is right! If we keep winning, Blaineley and Eva have all the power, but if we lose, they'll still have the power!"
LeShawna:
"Girl, I don't know what on earth we are gonna' do about this mess. This alliance is the worst out of all the seasons! And as the show starts to wind down, they're gonna' have even more power! We gotta' make sure everyone on our team is on the same page. I know Bridgette and Beth are with me, but Sadie and Harold? I know Sadie was workin' with Blaineley, so who knows if we can trust her. And Harold baby, oh Lord, I wanna' trust that fool but it's too hard."
Harold:
"How can I ever escape this nightmare! Maybe if I just vote for myself next time we don't win, I can escape it all! But ten million dollars is so sweet. Do you know how many camps I'd be able to go to for the rest of my life?! A lot!"
The Mutant Gophers wander through the woods, in search for their remaining creatures. They managed to not only snap a picture of the Frog Slug, but also the Horse Gorilla and Fish Dog. Having found three of their creatures compared to the Rats only finding two; it's still a close call to who might win. Izzy hopelessly leads her team through the woods, sending them in circles. Instead of focusing on the challenge, Lindsay and Tyler just reminisce over the good old days; playfully flirting with each other. Staci rambles on, and on, and on...and on about all of her impossible family members; driving her entire team insane! Dawn walks peacefully by her team, lamenting the destruction of the once beautiful woods. Sam mindlessly follows his team, while Anne Maria and Duncan nonstop bicker at each other. With all the confusion and lack of order, the team accidentally splits up. Tyler, Duncan, Anne Maria and Staci go off one way, while Sam, Izzy, Dawn and Lindsay go another way.
"This challenge is so stupid." Duncan mutters. "Let's just look for that spider cat thing and we'll be done in no time."
"We also gotta' find the Cow Bird, dude." Tyler says.
"Oh great! This bites. The sooner we're done, the sooner I can get back to the cabin and light up." Duncan whines.
"Hey, I don't need ya' stinky attitude ruinin' everything! M'kay?" Anne Maria snaps, literally snapping her fingers in Duncan's face.
"Literally, shut the hell up!" Duncan groans, giving Anne Maria the most threatening middle finger he can muster.
"Yah, my second grandmother's cousin's father's sister invented smoking." Staci lies. "Before - "
"Can it!" Anne Maria shouts, pulling a can of hairspray from her pouffe and spraying it Staci's face.
Staci holds her throat, gasping for air. Anne Maria rolls her eyes, strutting ahead of her; while Duncan and Tyler fall behind the two girls.
"Bro..." Tyler begins, whispering to Duncan. "...by light up, do you mean - "
"Pot? Yeah." Duncan responds. "It's the one thing keeping me from flipping out while in this dump. You ever smoke?"
"Me? Nah, man. I'm an athlete. You do that stuff, and you're off the team! Not only that, but your future is done for!" Tyler explains.
"Lame." Duncan chuckles. "Lucky for you, we aren't at school or anything, so if you wanna' cut loose then let me know."
"Really?" Tyler asks, taken aback but Duncan's genuine display of kindness.
"Ain't a big deal. We can do it by the docks later tonight." Duncan says, making a shaka with his hand.
"Wait, guys look!" Anne Maria calls out, pointing up ahead.
The four of them stop, all looking over to see the Spider Cat. The creature lets out a disturbing 'meow', as it scales up and down a tree. There's a loud 'click', and the four Gophers look over to see Blaineley hiding behind a nearby tree with her alliance...and a camera.
"That's four down, one to go!" Blaineley brags. "We just found the Fish Dog. Only the Cow Bird left!"
"Quick, take a picture!" Duncan shouts.
"We don't have the camera you dumb ass, Lindsay does!" Anne Maria shouts. "Great! We're gonna lose this challenge, cause the Killer Rats found four of their creatures in five freakin' seconds! How are we gonna' find any of these monsters?!"
"Actually..." Brick begins, stepping out from behind a tree. "If you look at the paper that lists all the creatures, there's a map of where each one is located." he tells the Gophers, showing them the piece of paper.
"Don't help them!" Eva screams, dragging Brick away from the Gophers.
"Obviously your team is too stupid to figure out simple tasks." Blaineley laughs. "It's not hard to look at a map!"
"Who has the map then?!" Anne Maria cries.
"Lindsay..." Tyler mumbles.
Duncan:
"This whole team is chapping my ass, I swear. I had a better time in juvie! Tyler is pretty cool, I guess. I wasn't really a big fan of him during World Tour, he pissed me off big time. But hey, I guess everyone gets a second chance...or something. We also kinda' have similar situations or whatever, both dealing with dudes. I don't know man, it wouldn't suck to have some actual friends on my team."
Anne Maria:
"Duncan needs to calm the hell down. When we or if we lose this damn challenge I'll be sure his aggravating ass is gettin' the boot! He thinks he's some hot shot cause' he got them piercings and mohawk, Just stop honey. You don't know fashion. I do!"
"Let's head back to camp!" Izzy says, leading Lindsay, Dawn and Sam around in confusing zig zags through the forest.
"But Izzy, we still haven't found the Cow Bird or Spider Dog." Sam says.
"If we make our way back now, we'll find them, and we'll end up being that much closer to Chris!" Izzy cheers. "Then we'll get back quicker and then we win the challenge!"
"While I understand your strategy, this plan is based entirely on luck." Dawn points out.
"No it's not." Izzy remarks.
"How do I use this thing again?" Lindsay asks, fiddling with the camera. Just then, she accidentally snaps two pictures.
"Oh great! Now we only have two pieces of film left!" Sam groans. "Maybe I'll hold onto the camera."
"No, I'm like, a model. I know all about cameras!" Lindsay says, trotting away from Sam.
"Holy crap, look!" Izzy screams, pointing straight ahead. Everyone turns to see the magnificent Cow Bird.
"It's so pretty!" Lindsay squeals. "Let me take the picture!" Lindsay says, holding up the camera backwards.
"You must be quiet, though. We can't disurb this poor animal." Dawn says.
The four of them slowly edge closer to the Cow Bird, whose perched atop a fallen tree. Everyone slowly stepped forward, doing their best to be quiet. Sure enough, the dreaded 'ding-ding' chimes. The four of them stare at each other, unsure of what they'll be singing about. A fast breakbeat kicks in, with long-pitch-shifted snare rolls and reggae baselines accompanying the jungle inspired track. Izzy throws herself to the ground, and begins crawling towards the Cow Bird.
Izzy:
"I'm gonna' get you, my sneaky little beast."
Dawn:
"Please don't fly away, we all have come in peace."
Lindsay:
"We want to snap a shot, or a selfie at least."
Sam:
"Everyone keep your voice down, we can't be loud."
Izzy/Dawn/Lindsay:
"Through the woods we went, sent by Chris."
"We're here for a pic, please don't dip!"
"One is all we need, don't you flee."
Sam:
"Once get we all get this done, we have to move on."
Izzy springs forward, grasping onto the Cow Bird's leg. The creature roars, and begins flapping its wings wildly.
Izzy:
"Take the picture! Take the picture!"
Lindsay:
"Which button is it again? Do I use both of my hands?
Dawn/Sam:
"Take the picture! Take the picture!"
The Cow Bird roars at Izzy, and starts to fly away. Izzy clutches onto the creature's leg, its talons scratching her forehead. Lindsay snaps a picture in the midst of all the chaos! Izzy loses her grip, and falls as the Cow Bird flies away!
Dawn/Sam:
"There goes our win."
Lindsay:
"I got the picture, got the picture!"
"Ow..." Izzy whines, as the jungle influenced music fades out. "That was crazy. How was the picture?!" Izzy bolts over to Lindsay, observing the poor quality of the picture. "Eh, my mugshot was way worse than this!
"Lindsay...I think you're bleeding." Sam says. Lindsay looks down at her arm to see it covered in blood. She screams and begins running around in circles.
"Sorry Lindsay, that's me!" Izzy apologies as she wipes the blood off a huge gash in her forehead. "Gosh, you grab onto a Cow Bird and this is what you get! Anyway, let's keep on movin' guys! We got a Spider Dog to find and then we'll be D-O-N-E!"
"Dough knee?" Lindsay asks, genuinely confused.
"I think she spelled 'done' Lindsay." Sam whispers to Lindsay. "Right...?" Sam asks Izzy, unsure of himself. Izzy sighs, slapping her bloody forehead.
Lindsay:
"I am literally so smart. I've helped my team so much! Izzy is a little crazy. A little too crazy actually. Maybe she does drugs? Oh my gosh, do you think she drinks PCP?"
Izzy:
"Don't wanna brag...well yeah I do! I'm the only reason my team knows what they're doing when they're not knowing what they're doing! I'm literally too smart for everyone! I've helped the team so much! Lindsay is so dumb sometimes, but I love her! I bet she's done a ton of drugs, like smoking vodka or something! True story!"
Dawn:
"A challenge based off harassing poor creatures, who are all deformed by toxic waste? What a despicable waste of resources. For all those at home watching, I do not condone this type of evil! Let the animals be free in the wild, don't torture them!"
Chris waits at the bonfire for the two teams to return. He sits, overwhelmed with boredom. He hears a rustling from the forest, and out steps Blaineley. She crosses over to him, and slowly begins to circle around him.
"Blaineley...where's the rest of your team?" Chris asks nervously.
"They went to go get their animal...the one they're supposed to bring back." Blaineley replies.
"How do they know what it is? I never told them. The teams are supposed to find out after the show me their five pictures." Chris says.
"I looked at the challenge plans when I was in your trailer this morning." Blaineley answered. "Rats have to get a Frog Slug, Gophers have to get a Spider Cat."
"What more do you want from me?!" Chris cries, standing up in rage.
"You know exactly what I want!" Blaineley snaps.
"What's that?" Izzy asks.
Chris and Blaineley spin around to see Izzy, Dawn, Lindsay and Sam standing behind them. Izzy holds up the Frog Slug proudly, and tosses it over to Chris; who narrowly dodges the creature.
"Watch the face, dude!" Chris shouts.
"Oh no, you poor baby." Dawn cries, rushing over to check on the Frog Slug.
"There's your animal." Izzy cheers. Just then, the rest of Blaineley's alliance, and the rest of the Gophers emerge from the forest. Izzy gasps as she sees the alliance members carrying the Frog Slug with them. "They copied our animals! No fair!" Izzy pouts.
Eva marches over to Chris, handing them their team's camera. Lindsay also hands Chris her team's camera. He looks at all the film, and nods.
"Well, it seems the Rats are the winners. They delivered five clear pictures, and managed to bring back their animal before you all." Chris announces.
"What?! That's bogus." Duncan shouts. "We all got here at the same time, how did they already find their animal?"
"I don't usually agree with faux-hawk ova' here, but he got a point." Anne Maria adds.
"Enough!" Chris shouts, shutting everyone up. "The Rats win! Blaineley and her team are safe. Gophers, you're going to have a date me with me at the amphitheater tonight for elimination!"
Dawn:
"I'm curious how the Killer Rats knew which creature to bring back. I feel as if Blaineley may be the reason that her team an advantage over us. I feel a great disturbance on their team, helmed by division. Our team isn't doing much better. It seems as if everyone on this show is plagued with a hidden agenda!"
Blaineley:
"'Blaineley's team'? I love the sound of that. It's pretty clear I own this show, and I'll be riding it all the way to the top!"
Duncan:
"Blaineley is a cheater, dude. If she were on my team, she'd be out of here in a second! I can't wait for the next merge. I'm taking her down!"
Eva:
"Is Chris serious? 'Blaineley's team'? What a joke! I need to step up and regain control of this alliance. Blaineley is getting too out of hand."
The Mutant Gophers sit at the amphitheatre, all distraught at their loss; which easily could have been avoided. After tonight, only seven of them would remain, giving the Rats a numbers advantage over them. Tonight would be one of the closest calls ever - but the one to be eliminated would only be because of someone else's mistake.
"Greetings Gophers!" Chris greets everyone as he strolls onto the stage. "It seems even this team's second incarnation are still big time losers! You all should know the drill by now! Under your seat you will find either a slip of paper and a pen, a voting device or a passport. Write, click or stamp the team member you would like to eliminate. Once you are done, you will hand your slip, device and passport to me for reviewing!"
Sam scribbles down a name on his paper and hands it to Chris.
Tyler scrolls through the voting device and without hesitation, clicks on a teammate's icon.
Duncan opens his passport, stamps it, and tosses it up to Chris.
Dawn writes down a name, shaking her head in disappointment.
Staci clicks on her voting device, unable to get it to work. The device short circuits - discounting her vote.
Izzy stamps her passport over and over, and begins to stamp on her body.
Anne Maria writes down a name, glaring at the teammate whose name she had written.
Lindsay watches Izzy maniacally stamp her passport; and does the same on her voting device.
"Ahem! " Chris clears his throats. "The votes are in. If your name is called you will receive a Memory Book. I've said it many times, and I'll keep saying it; these represent safety from elimination. If you do not receive a memory book; you are eliminated and must report to the Stairs of Shame and ride the Lift of Losers. Once you are eliminated - you can never come back...ever!" Chris explains. "The following people are safe..."
"Dawn, Sam, Tyler and Lindsay!"
The four of them joyfully catch their Memory Books and begin to skim through them.
"Anne Maria."
Izzy, Duncan and Staci all look at each other nervously as Chris teasingly holds up the next Memory Book.
"Duncan."
Izzy bites down on her lips, causing them to bleed. Staci shakes with nerves, unable to compose herself.
"Izzy, you massively blew up your team's chance to win. Staci, you seem to have pushed the limit with all your teammates with all your lies. The final Memory Book goes to..."

"Izzy!"
"Oh no!" Staci cries. "I thought I was doing good so far."
"Guess not! Later loser!" Duncan laughs.
"Man, this is bogus. Izzy should have gone home." Tyler moans with frustration.
"Uh, okay! Do I have to remind you because of my incredible sneaking skills we were able to get to Frog Slug?" Izzy says. "Hello! I'm a skilled sneakster! I basically helped us win...well, almost."
"Your need to be impulsive led us to losing today's challenge." Dawn explains. "Nonetheless, you are not going home, so it doesn't seem to matter much anymore."
"Just don't screw anything else up, and you'll have yourself a spot on the team next challenge!" Anne Maria states.
"Woah, hostility central!" Izzy giggles. "I thought we were all friends, wasn't I wrong!" she says, hopping off her seat and flipping over the back of the bleachers.
"I love this kind of team bonding!" Chris says. "But, it's a half hour show. So Staci, it's time to go!"
With that, Staci sadly rises from the bleachers, and heads up the Stairs of Shame. She straps on her harness, and the Lift of Losers begins to rise. It rises only about half way before Staci slips through the harness, barely clutching on to it for dear life. Her former team watches in shock as she screams for help. The Lift disappears into night, Staci's screams slowly fading away into the sky. Chris bids the Gophers a farewell, and leaves the stage.
"Hey man, you ready to blaze it up?" Duncan whispers, leaning over to Tyler.
"Aw yeah, bro." Tyler excitedly agrees. The two hop off the bleachers and head towards the cabin. Lindsay gasps, shocked at the newly formed friendship.
"Oh, I knew somethin' was goin' on!" Anne Maria jeers. "I watched Earth Tour or whateva', and they totally flirted the entire season."
"But..." Lindsay begins, tearings welling in her eyes. She runs off, sobbing wildly. Dawn sighs, and chases after Lindsay.
The Compulsive Liar has officially exited the show. After staying around for who knows why - she's finally gotten the boot! Everyone can finally stop hearing about all these made up relatives. What will become of the Gophers as they lose members? Will they become the spiritual successors to the first Gophers team and lose big? Will Blainley's alliance and blackmail against Chris be successful? Are Lindsay's fears about Tyler and Duncan coming true? Will the Rats be able to overthrow Eva and her massive alliance? Is anyone going to ask about where DJ is?! All will be answered eventually, next time on...
