Chapter 36: Like the Pioneers
Once again, it was finally Chris McLean's turn to give a recap to the audience.
Chris McLean's commentary:
Last time on Camp Drama Showdown, a vampire boy named Edmund snuck onto the show, he was brought forth to me and Blaineley by Chef and Colonel Barnes, but before letting him ever become a member of any team, I dissolved the entire team system putting Edmund at the mercy of the contestants or whatever way the audience would see it.
Wally made an alliance with Edmund, after his mouth was washed out by soup by LeShawna after making fat jokes about her weight. Not a good idea, also not a good idea was not bargaining high enough to get a better piece of the pie from Edmund, but that indeed certainly changed during the challenge where contestants were going to surf a twister, Edmund showed everyone his skills. Only June remained, which I had Chef up the ante by firing various items from a catapult at the two.
June was close, but sadly she did not receive immunity, but for Nazz and Kuki, they had to take the Carriage of Shame home. So what kind of dastardly deeds will Edmund come up next? Find out here on Camp Drama Showdown!
End of commentary.
Indeed it was rather a quiet night as the remaining contestants stayed in their cabins. A certain Chef Hatchet was out and about doing some chores when Clay along with Raimundo, Kimiko and Omi were spying on him, Clay wanted to come up with a way to punish Chef for helping out Paco.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"I don't appreciate cheaters" said Clay.
"I hope we hit Chef good" laughed Raimundo.
"I expected this from Jack Spicer, but not Chef" said Kimiko.
"I am so disgusted with him, and not just his food" said Omi.
End of confessions.
Clay indeed walked up to Chef as he was moving some boxes for Chris and Blaineley.
"Need a helping hand there?" asked Clay.
"Sure thing" said Chef as he shook Clay's hand, Clay indeed had a joy buzzer on which gave Chef quite a shocking experience.
It was then that Chris and Blaineley came into the scene to notice Chef was in the middle of his shocking experience.
"Punishing Chef for siding with Paco?" asked Chris to Clay.
"Just doing my job" replied Clay.
About a few hours later, it was time for the contestants to get up, Clay, along with Raimundo, Kimiko and Omi were given instructions by Chris and Blaineley to wake everyone up while poor Chef recovered from Clay's revenge prank. As the contestants got out, a certain Edmund was indeed ready for anything.
Confessions in the Saloon:
"Man, last challenge was easy, that 25 million bucks is going to be mine!" laughed Edmund.
"I was so close, I could have beaten that vampire twerp" said June.
"Dracula boy is going down" said Riley.
End of confessions.
"Today there will be no breakfast at the mess hall like usual" said Chris, "instead, you'll have to find it yourselves when you're out and the open like the good old pioneers."
"The first contestant that comes back within at least two days will win the challenge" said Blaineley.
"Two days, we have to be out in the wildness for two days?" cried Sissy.
"Hey, that's what the pioneers did, so Chef and Colonel Barnes will show you out into the woods, oh beware, there are coyotes, bears, wolves and even old Ezekial is out there, somewhere" laughed Chris.
"I say we stick together on this one" said Danny.
"Hey, count me in" said Jazz.
"Yea, me too, I can't stand the wild" added Molly.
"With me having two geniuses as friends, we can win this" said Timmy as he was forming an alliance with Jimmy, Cindy, Abigail, Marc, Zim and Libby.
"Come on, we'll beat this like old school like if we were on the streets of some big city" said Huey who was forming an alliance obviously with his brother Riley, Jazmine, Megan, Owen and Joseph.
"We should beat that vampire boy together" said June as she was forming an anti-Edmund alliance with Jenny, Ray Ray, Brad, Tuck and Sheldon.
"We can do this" said Rachel as she was forming an alliance with Nick, Jade, Reggie, Baljeet, Dexter, Dee Dee and Chris Griffin.
"Let's kick it in gear" said Haley as she was using the remnants of Rose's alliance included Cleveland Jr., Trixie, Johnny, and Sissy.
"I guess that leaves me with you guys" said Bobby who was forming an alliance with Sally, Zak Saturday, Manny, Newton, Phineas, Ferb, Isabella and Frida.
"There's no way I'm going to help my good twin here" said Zak Monday.
"Oh come on, I'm open for you to be in it to win it with me" said Bobby.
As everyone headed off into their own directions, Edmund noticed Zak Monday was struggling to survive with his former teammate Ed being his sidekick.
"Hey big guy, why don't you grab me some wood for a fire" said Zak Monday.
"Ed will go and do just that, Ed is a good camper" laughed Ed.
"I see you have made an alliance with Ed using him as a useful tool" said Edmund who approached Zak Monday.
"What do you want vampire kid?" asked Zak Monday.
"An alliance with you, me, Wally and Ed" continued Edmund.
"I'm listening, but how the heck are we going to tear up the other alliances apart?" asked Zak Monday.
"Leave everything to me, have Wally over here help out Ed get some resources for ourselves" continued Edmund.
"You heard him dumb, dumb" laughed Zak Monday referring to Wally.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Nobody gets away with calling me dumb!" said Wally who didn't like being allied with Zak Monday.
"Ed is a good servant" said Ed as he was carrying a lot of wood with him.
End of confessions.
As the first day was going quite well for the contestants, Timmy's team was in first as they pitched a tent, along with retrieving a meal or two. June and Jenny's alliance did the same, along with Huey and Riley's alliance. Danny's alliance was doing okay as well, but for Rachel she was struggling to even light a fire with some rocks.
"Blast, I thought this always would work!" cried Rachel.
"Sounds like you could have a helping hand" laughed Chris Griffin who just simply clapped his hands to Rachel as the so-called help.
"And sounds like you'd be a candidate to be voted off if you don't help me lit the fire!" roared Rachel.
"You mean like this?" asked Nick who managed to lit the flames by doing exactly what Rachel was trying to do all along.
"But, I was trying to do just that!" cried Rachel who was angry someone else did the work for her.
As for Bobby's alliance, Sally was having trouble simply trying to catch a fish from the lake.
"Stupid fish, why won't you bite!" cried Sally.
"Here, let me help out" said Bobby as he then gave the fishing pole a try.
Hank who was told not to interfere with any of the contestants watched Bobby from afar, he smiled at Bobby knowing very well what he had taught him how to fish after Bobby caught it for his alliance. But as Hank was quite pleased, Hank's ghost of a father Cotton was overseeing the challenge form afar. He didn't like the way Edmund nor Zak Monday were treating Ed. As Ed went to fish, Cotton decided to have a chat with Ed.
"Listen up boy" said Cotton.
"Evil spirit!" cried Ed.
"No, I'm not evil, I am just going to have a small chat with you, those two have been using you like a dumb tool" continued Cotton, "and that really is quite sad that you should be used in that manner. Haven't you already been used one too many times like this back at home?"
Ed thought for a moment or two as his small brain managed to turn a wheel in his head.
"You're right you crazy old spirit" said Ed as he then straighten himself up, "Ed will show those two who Ed really is."
As Ed marched over to where Edmund and Zak Monday were who were trying to come up with a strategy on trying to ruin the other alliances, they were unaware of Ed's shadow.
"Excuse me, but I think someone might be blocking our strategy blueprints" said Zak Monday as the two turned around it was none other than Ed himself who wasn't happy as he stood there.
"Come here to retrieve more chores for us?" laughed Edmund.
"No, Ed will NOT work for you two anymore" replied Ed, "Ed says a spirit told him about you two."
"Bah, it's that ghost Cotton!" cried Edmund who was quite upset that Cotton interfered.
"I know the perfect alliance we then can ruin first" laughed Zak Monday who thought about Bobby's alliance.
A few minutes later, as Bobby was getting the fish warmed up for his alliance, Zak Monday who was sneaking around with Wally spotted the fish.
"Ha, I got it!" laughed Wally.
"Wait, you'd get your hands burned!" cried Zak Monday to which Wally was dumb enough to follow it.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Man, I cannot believe it, but Wally is even dumber than Ed!" laughed Zak Monday who couldn't believe how humiliating Wally was.
"Hot, hot, hot!" cried Wally who got his hands burned from the fish.
End of confessions.
"Hey, you two!" cried Bobby as he noticed Wally with the burnt fish in his hand.
"I'll stop them!" cried Manny as he changed into his El Tigre suit.
As Manny gave chase to Wally and Zak Monday, the two thieves ran into the camp of Jenny and June's alliance where the two smashed into a tent that Sheldon had finished crafting.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"It took me hours, hours, hours!" cried Sheldon.
"Those fiends!" cried Brad.
"I'll give Wally and Zak Monday wedgies that'd make it worse and more embarrassing than Dash and Troy ever received" said June.
End of confessions.
But the two thieves managed to elude June, Jenny and the others and ran into the camp site of Danny's alliance, both thieves crashed right into Molly injuring her.
"Get off of me!" cried Molly to which she felt pain in one of her joints, "I think I broke something!"
"Give her first aid" said Danny as Sam along with Tucker rushed to Molly's aid.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Nothing like collateral damage" laughed Zak Monday referring to Molly's injury.
"Stupid girl, you were in the way!" cried Wally who was still making sexiest jokes of Molly behind her back.
End of confessions.
The two thieves continued to run, trying to find their way back to their camp site, when they ran into Huey and Riley's alliance site.
"Oh boy, is this a fish from heaven?" laughed Owen who then just grabbed the fish and ate it.
"All that for nothing!" cried Zak Monday as he then kicked some dirt into Owen's eyes.
"Ouch, my eyes!" cried Owen who then stumbled around knocking over his alliance's tent.
"Well, I guess we're going to have to just take your alliance's food then" laughed Zak Monday as he then stole another fish.
It was quite a win-win for Edmund as the second day approached, he and his alliance moved out with Ed refusing to budge at first.
"Ed will not help you win it for you" said Ed.
"Not unless if I give you some of the money to buy some of those comic books you say in your sleep?" asked Edmund.
Ed's experience with Cotton was soon erased when Ed decided that comic books were more important than doing the right thing.
"Ed wants comic books!" said Ed as he then grabbed and picked up Edmund, Zak Monday and Wally as they began to race ahead.
Bobby and his alliance then soon followed suit with Newton picking up everyone in Bobby's alliance including Bobby himself.
"Wow, for a genius like you, I never thought you were that strong" said Bobby to Newton.
"There are a lot of things you don't know about me" replied Newton.
But as the two alliances continued on their race, they ran into a pack of coyotes along with Ezekial who was trying to do his best to fit into the pack.
"Run faster!" cried Edmund to Ed.
Danny's alliance along with Jenny and June's were coming up, but because of Molly's injury, Danny had to stay behind to make sure she was safe. Timmy and his alliance made it in second place with Edmund and Bobby tying in first, June and Jenny's alliance got in third, Haley's alliance in fourth, while Danny and Rachel's alliance never got passed 100 percent the finish line. A certain Chris Griffin was indeed sleeping in late which Rachel was having trouble trying to get him up.
"How lazy can he really be!" cried Rachel who was trying everything to get Chris Griffin up.
"The challenge is over" said Chef who went to alert them, "Chris says to vote someone off."
"Going to vote for little old me, or are you going to vote for someone who is lazy?" asked Rachel to Nick.
"Going with you" said Nick.
"Same here" said Reggie.
About a few hours later, it was finally time for the camp fire ceremony, although Edmund and Bobby's alliances won immunity, the alliance members were still at the camp fire, since it was only technical win for Edmund and Bobby. Typically enough, as everyone else received their golden wrapped chocolate horseshoes, the only contestants who didn't receive one were Rachel, Chris Griffin, Ed and Molly.
"Rachel, Rachel, Rachel, you've been causing some trouble for your team" said Chris, "Mr. Griffin, you have been quite the lazy one."
"Ed, you caused tensions between you, Edmund and Zak Monday, Molly, you got yourself injured" said Blaineley.
"It's not my fault, Wally and his stupid friend Zak Monday ran into me!" cried Molly.
"Last golden wrapped chocolate horseshoes for the night goes to" said both Chris and Blaineley as the four were waiting for their dramatic pause, "Rachel and Ed."
"Bah, I knew it!" cried Molly as she struggled to get up, "Listen pal, you think you've one this, but mark my words, you'll be going down, that Edmund isn't someone you should be trusting right now."
"Too bad you won't have a second chance" laughed Zak Monday as Molly along with Chris Griffin were being escorted to the Carriage of Shame by Chef and Colonel Barnes.
As the two were taken away on the Carriage of Shame, the scene switches to Edmund who was in a alleyway as Cotton showed up.
"You interfered with my alliance old man" said Edmund.
"Cheating and bullying others to do your will isn't the way to go boy" continued Cotton.
"Fine, if you're going to interfere with me, the deal is off" said Edmund, "I'm taking your grandson down in the next challenge."
Edmund laughed as he left the scene to which Cotton felt he better find a way to coach Bobby. The scene then switches to Chris.
"Well now, isn't that an exciting elimination, tune in next time for more exciting eliminations here on Camp Drama Showdown, and let's hope something happens between Edmund and his alliance" laughed Chris.
