Disclaimer - I do not own Total Drama, Eurovision, or any good shit. Also, I have deleting reviews so that the author cannot read them :D
Really, that was you?
Disclaimer - Haha. No.
Well...for some reason, won't let me look at any reviews I have got since New Year's Eve. I have no idea why this is happening, but I hope it stops soon.
If it doesn't, a PM'd review would be nice. :)
With that, here is the final chapter before the merge! Enjoy!
Euro-Drama Farmyard - Episode 16 Part 2 - Well Played Cheating
Symon and Marios walked through the forest.
"So…this is…interesting," Symon said awkwardly.
"I dunno. It seems boring. I mean, it's a big forest. There's probably at least good 100 metres between each disc. We'll be here all night," Marios sighed.
"Well, all we can is make the best of it," Symon shrugged.
"Say, can we talk about…er…last night?" Marios asked.
"I'd rather not," Symon replied. "We're in the dark remember…people could be watching."
"I suppose," Marios responded.
"Why, what happened last night!?" said a loud voice who put his hands on their shoulders.
"GAAAAAAAH!" the two boys screamed.
"Relax, it's just me, Pavils," Pavils said.
"Pavils Pakalu is right…you're still an asshole I see," Marios replied.
"Calm yourselves, it was just a joke," Pavils groaned.
"It wasn't funny!" Marios yelled at him.
"Marios, get over it," Symon sighed.
"So…what did happen last night?" Pavils asked them.
"Er…nothing," Marios replied hesitantly.
"You're a terrible liar," Pavils said bluntly.
"Mind your own business!" Symon snapped.
"Symon, don't even try to sound intimidating," Pavils stated.
"Watch me," Symon replied in a demented tone.
"Woah, I'm sorry, okay? But what did happen? Did you do it or something?"
"PAVILS!" Marios and Symon yelled at him.
"Alright, no," Pavils said, rolling his eyes. "Wait a minute…I've got it! You sabotaged the vote!"
"What!?" Marios exclaimed in shock. "No we didn't…"
"Still a terrible liar," Pavils said. "But this makes a lot of sense. There's no other way Jessie could have gone home."
"Would you have preferred that? Just shut up about it," Symon hissed.
[Confessional: Will he be exposed? :O
Pavils (Latvia): So…Symon and Marios do have something to do with Jessie being eliminated…
It's obvious really. Without it, only Symon, Marios and Emilia would have voted her off.
Hmm…Finn and Sveda said that Jessie told them to vote for Lou, and Jessie didn't remember…hypnosis maybe?
Eh, whatever. I like surprises.
Symon (Ukraine): Damn you, Marios. Pavils too, but it was Marios' fault that he heard.]
"I think we should all stand back to back to each other," Stela suggested as she walked with Carolyn, Petros and Rikard. "Then we'll have better vision."
"That's not a bad idea," Carolyn commented. "Emilia did it last year to find the key in the Netherlands."
"It would be awkward though," Rikard complained. "It's dark, so we could bump into things easily."
"You know, maybe he has a point. Maybe we should split up," Carolyn suggested.
"I like my idea better," Stela insisted.
"I'm not doing it! Forget it!" Rikard whined.
"Rikard, we don't have time for this!" Stela snapped.
"Can you guys stop it? Let's settle it with a vote," Carolyn suggested.
"Okay, I vote for my idea," Stela shrugged.
"And I vote for mine," Rikard added. "Alright, what do you suggest?"
"Um…er…" Carolyn struggled to choose.
"I go with Rikard's idea. Let's split up!" Petros groaned.
"Works for me," Rikard replied. "I call Petros!"
"No! You can't have him," Carolyn protested. "Er…you and Stela are in the same alliance."
"Well, if you put it that way…" Rikard said thoughtfully.
"See ya," Stela said, waving them goodbye as she walked off with Petros.
Rikard and Carolyn both looked at each other and sighed.
[Confessional: Petros' hair colour looks like s**t
Petros (Armenia): [grins] Heh, looks I'm a popular guy.
[groans] Help me.
Carolyn (United Kingdom): It's nice that Petros has made other friends like Rikard but…he's kind of getting in the way.
Rikard (Finland): [sighs] I wanted Petros.
Hey, it could have been worse – we found the first disc!
Er…could I get a 'ding' or something?
Confessional: Ding!
Rikard: Thank you!]
Felines – 1

"You know, it sure is dark," Emilia commented as she and Lou held hands and walked through the forest. "Very dark."
"Yeah, I know. It feels like someone could jump out and scare us at any second," Lou replied.
Emilia groaned at this.
"Is everything alright?" Lou asked.
"Maybe it's just me, but…this darkness feels very romantic. I mean…very romantic," Emilia said in an alluring tone.
"Are you trying to tell me something?" Lou asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Yes! Let's make out!" Emilia exclaimed.
"But Emilia there's a ch…I mean, alright," Lou shrugged, and Emilia dived into a bush.
"Ack! Thorns!" Emilia screamed as she jumped back out.
"Snnrrrk…I'm sorry," Lou chuckled.
"Stop laughing," Emilia snapped as shook herself.
"I'm sorry," Lou replied as he clenched his stomach. "It's just…GAAAAAAAH!"
"Haha! I love karma," Emilia chuckled.
"What the heck just happened?" Lou asked as he got up off the ground. "Something just ran into me."
"Sorry about that," Sanna apologized.
"OMG! Sanna! Long time no see!" Emilia exclaimed as she gave the Danish girl a hug.
"Emilia! How has it been?" Sanna asked.
"Well, you know…stuff," Emilia shrugged. "Let's walk and talk!"
"Hey, I heard about the amnesia," Lou whispered to Sanna.
"It's okay," Tyge replied.
"Gah! Where did you come from!?" Lou exclaimed.
"Really, you didn't expect him there?" Sanna asked, raising an eyebrow. "Why are you with Emilia?"
"Eh, good point," Lou shrugged. "Emilia! Tell 'em everything, cause God knows I don't remember!"
"Okay," Emilia nodded. "So much has happened in the last two weeks. I don't even know where to start.
You already know about Aleksander sabotaging the talent show, right?"
"Yeah," Sanna sighed. "I think Ilene told me."
"Oh my gosh! Ilene! I forgot all about her!" Emilia exclaimed. "How is she doing? I'll bet she's a huge socialite by now…"
"Yeah…she's getting better. She's good friends with Katerina, I've noticed," Sanna replied. "How's Marios?"
"He's…okay," Emilia replied. "He's a lot more quiet this time round."
"I suppose that's better than him getting all mad at Petros," Sanna shrugged. "That was crazy."
"It wasn't fair for him to take the heat," Emilia sighed. "After all, I had been there to see them do it as well."
"What!?" Tyge exclaimed. "You saw Adrijana and Marios have…er…you know…"
"Emilia! You don't just do that!" Sanna frowned at her.
"I know…I just wanted to know what she was up to and…well…I'm always one for yaoi," Emilia giggled.
"What's yoy?" Tyge asked.
"It's when men get together with men in anime," Lou explained. "Wait, Adrijana's not a man!"
"Hey, look, a disc!" Tyge exclaimed.
"Oh no you don't! That's mine!" Emilia screamed, and she threw her arms back before diving forward and grabbing the disc.
"Ouch," she groaned.
"Er…it's all yours," Sanna said awkwardly before she and Tyge walked off.
[Confessional: Wait…Sanna can't walk…
Tyge (Norway): [holds an ice pack to his eye] I know Emilia didn't mean it, but she gave me a bad blow!
Emilia (Netherlands): We did it! Yay! A disc for the Zebras! Eeeeiiiii!
[she continues squeeing before it gradually turns into a groan]
Ugh…a stone got wedged into my ankle. Ew…]
Pavils whistled to himself as he quickly walked across the path of the forest.
"Psh, I'm bored," Pavils sighed.
He walked for a bit more, only to bump into another figure.
"Pardon me," Pavils said to the figure. "I didn't see you."
"It doesn't matter anymore," the figure sulked. "It feels I've been crashed into a lot in the last few days."
"Hey, I know you! You're…ugh…I forget your name…you won the first challenge," Pavils sighed.
"It's Beni," Beni frowned.
"Beni – of course. You wanna talk?" Pavils asked.
"I'd rather not. I know your game," Beni snapped.
"Excuse me, then," Pavils replied irritably, before walking off.
[Confessional: That was brief.
Pavils (Latvia): Beni should try listening to himself!
I've never talked to the guy before, and he's already pointing a finger at me.
I say and do a lot of stupid s**t, but I take pride in my first impressions.
[he rests his arms behind his head and sighs]
Beni (Moldova): I just keep finding myself in the wrong hands don't I? It's like the game is against me!
[shakes his head]
I'm not okay right now. As if I'm ever, but I'm really, really not okay.]
"I wonder how our team is doing," Katerina pondered as she walked through the dark with Kelija and Ilene.
"We sure haven't found anything yet," Ilene sighed.
"I don't get it. Kelija's night vision should be working perfectly," Katerina complained.
"She has night vision?"
"She's a cat, duh," Katerina snorted, as if it was the most obvious thing in the world.
"Yes, of course," Ilene nodded, not wanting to argue any more.
"Neow!" Kelija exclaimed, running ahead.
"Where's she gone?" Ilene asked.
"She must have found the disc!" Katerina cheered. "Go Kelija!"
Berto jogged through the forest swiftly.
"Nothing yet?" he groaned. "I must have missed something."
He skidded to a stop and leaned against a nearby tree.
"Whew, I need a break. I'm not as agile as I thought," he said, panting a bit. "Where are those damn discs?"
He stood upright again and shook his head.
"Well, no point in stopping now," he sighed, and he started to walk again. "I should go slower. I need to be alert."
He glanced around for a second before noticing something ahead.
"Hey, a disc!" he exclaimed. "Wait…it's moving!"
"Neow!" Kelija, who was carrying the disc in her mouth, screamed. "Neow! Neow! Neow!"
"Get back here, cat!" Berto yelled as he chased after her. "I want that disc!"
"Nyahkk! Nyahkkk!" Kelija spat as she continued to run off, before Berto grabbed her tail and picked her up.
"Okay, cat! Give it here!" Berto yelled as he landed Kelija in his arms.
"Nyeeeh! Nyeeeh!" Kelija screamed. "Nyeeeehhh!"
"What the heck is going on?" Katerina called faintly from behind.
"Aw, [Italian swear word]!" Berto groaned. "Alright then, if you won't give me the disc, I suppose I'll take you with me!"
He clenched Kelija tightly in his arms before running off.
"Kelija? Kelija!" Katerina called out as she reached the path. "Where did she go?"
"I'm sure she's not far off," Ilene assured her.
"That can't be! I could hear her screaming just a few seconds ago! Kelija? Call if you can hear me!" Katerina exclaimed. "Come on!"
There was no response.
"What the heck happened to her? She must have been catnapped!" Katerina screamed.
"Er…don't you meant catnipped?" Ilene chuckled.
"JUST COME ON!" Katerina roared at her.
[Confessional: Adventures of One Direction reference!
Ilene (Belgium): Bad timing…heh-heh
Katerina (Macedonia): I can't believe someone would do that!
Okay, Anka I understand. She's braindead, but besides that, nobody would be so ridiculous!
Berto (San Marino): [is covered in cat scratches] That…could have gone better.
Credit to Kelija, she is a fighter!
But…she could not beat me!
[holds up the luminous disc]
I did it! I got one! That's a point for the Felines!]
Felines – 2
Zebras – 1
Mantises – 0
"There! Finally!" Emilia exclaimed as she dropped the disc in the slot.
"Huh? Who is that?" asked a voice from nearby.
"It's me, Emilia!" Emilia exclaimed. "Carolyn, is that you?"
"Yeah, it's me! Blimey, it's been a while," Carolyn replied. "How have you been?"
"Well, it's been quite a ride so far! I have so much to tell you!" Emilia exclaimed. "But…you know, I should probably keep it brief. See, I tried talking to Sanna and Tyge earlier, but then it kind of ended…anyways, what's been up with you?"
"A lot. I'm here with Rikard, as you can see," Carolyn replied. "Hey, did you know that Anton tried to kill himself?"
"What!?" Emilia and Lou exclaimed in shock.
"I thought everyone knew," Rikard said in defense. "He was in bandages for ages."
"What's happened on the Zebras since I left?" Carolyn asked.
"Well, you know, Jessie and Symon and Alma came in. Symon and Alma got together, Jessie was bitch; elimination came, Jessie acted like a bitch more. Yeah, a lot of Jessie," Emilia sighed in memory.
"She got eliminated last night I saw," Carolyn replied. "I say good riddance."
"What's weird is that we've no idea how it happened," Emilia stated. "Jessie blackmailed Pavils and Lou, so she should have got the majority."
"That is indeed a mystery," Carolyn commented. "Things have been really tough over here on the Felines. Everyone seems really obsessed with strategy – I swear, every couple days is running around camp having to convince people to vote with you."
"I'd imagine so," Emilia sighed. "That must suck. There's alliances over here too. Jessie had her own, and she somehow got Finn and Sveda."
"Sveda I can understand. How did she get Finn on her side?" Carolyn asked, raising her eyebrow.
"I dunno. Maybe she didn't. He might have changed his vote," Emilia shrugged.
While the two of them were talking, Lou and Rikard looked around in boredom.
That's when they both noticed in a disc in the distance.
They briefly looked at each other before they both dashed off.
"Lou? Where are you going?" Emilia asked, looking ahead.
"That disc is mine!" Lou exclaimed.
"Ma-NAAA-NAAAAAAHH!" Rikard screamed back
"Huh?" Carolyn said in confusion.
"It's best not to ask," Emilia assured her.
Rikard and Lou were still running as fast as they could. It was close call, but in the end…
…
…
…
…
…
…neither of them got it. It was actually Luko with a torch.
"Baaah!" he exclaimed, grabbing both of the boys by their shirt collars.
"Ahhh! Who is that!?" Rikard exclaimed.
"It's me, Luko! Long time no see!" Luko greeted. "Who do you we have here? Rikard…and Lou! Awesome!"
"What is wrong with you!? You almost gave me a heart attack!" Lou exclaimed as he took shallow breaths.
"You think that's scary? You should try watching 'A Serbian Film'," Luko told them.
"What's that?" Rikard asked as Luko let them go.
"It's a horror movie that they made in Serbia. It's so scary, it's banned in seven countries," Luko replied. "My friends and I watched it, and my friend, Milo, s**t his pants over it."
He looked at them once again before saying, "Alright. I've had my fun. I better go. Peace."
"Peace, my a**!" Rikard snapped, before sticking out his tongue.
"Let it go, Rikard," Lou sighed, before walking off.
[Confessional: It was good to see Luko again…also, A Serbian Film is very real
Rikard (Finland): Psh, hypocrite.]
"Ouch, ouch! I've a cold sore!" Sveda screamed. "Ouch!"
"Er…how do you randomly get a cold sore?" Finn asked in confusion.
"Okay, maybe it's some other lip thingy! But it hurts! What do I do!? I've no anusol!" Sveda screamed.
"Anusol!?" Finn repeated.
"Oh sorry, is that only for teeth? Whoops," Sveda sighed.
Finn just shook his head.
"Hey! I know something we could do!" Sveda suggested. "Oh, but it mightn't work. It's going to sound stupid…"
"It's okay, Sveda. It might work," Finn suggested.
"Maybe you could suck it out," Sveda suggested. "Okay…judge me."
"Oh no! It might work!" Finn told her. "Here, let me try!"
He grabbed Sveda and the two of them started making out.
"Mmm, I think it's working," Sveda stated in a muffle voice.
While they had their backs turned, Eloise and Vincenz came from around a bend.
Eloise tapped Vincenz's shoulder before pointing ahead at a luminous disc which was right by Finn and Sveda's side.
"Leave it to me," Vincenz whispered, and he quickly tip-toed across the path.
"You got it," Eloise squealed as she hid behind a bush. "You got it."
Just then, Sveda opened her eyes and immediately started screaming, before dropping Finn on the ground and diving for Vincenz.
"You can't do that!" Sveda screamed. "I want that disc."
Even though Vincenz was a lot stronger than Sveda, he seemed to be going easy on her.
"What are you doing!?" Eloise screamed. "Don't hold back!"
"She's a lady. What do you want me to do?" Vincenz responded in defense as he struggled against the Azeri girl.
"Zut," Eloise pouted, before she stomped over to them.
"Uh-uh! No you don't!" Sveda exclaimed.
She lunged for Eloise, but without even looking, Eloise threw a punch at her face.
"Ouch! You f*****g bitch!" Sveda screamed as she held her nose.
"I believe this is ours," Eloise beamed, before she walked off in a proud manner.
Vincenz quickly got up off the ground and followed her.
"Er…are you okay?" Finn asked in concern as he came over and bent on his knees.
"I think my nose is bleeding," Sveda groaned. "I need a bandage or something."
"Should we go to first aid?" Finn suggested.
"You know what? I can go later. We have a challenge to do," Sveda stated.
"If you're sure," Finn sighed. "For now, hold the top of your nose, but whatever you do, don't tilt your head back. It'll make the blood rush to your brain."
"Thank you," Sveda smiled.
[Confessional: Finally – she says something genuine! I mean, she had to have…
Sveda (Azerbaijan): I knew all that stuff, obviously, but if Finn wants to act like the genius, so be it.
Finn (Ireland): I did surf instructing earlier this summer, and I had to do a course on First Aid.
Heh, good thing for Sveda.
Sveda (Azerbaijan): Also, Eloise is a f***ing bitch for punching me in the nose! Arrrgghh!
But, you know what, I shouldn't get too mad. She could be a good ally – I'd buy that she might be friends with Vincenz, but she still has some evil bones to spare. [she cackles]]
Berto had just slipped his disc into the slot when he heard yelling coming from outside the forest.
"Kelija!?" Katerina screamed. "KELIJA!?"
"Damn it," Berto groaned in panic, before gently placing Kelija on the ground. "Be free, cat."
With that, he ran back into the forest. A few seconds later, Katerina and Ilene came running out.
"Kelija?" Ilene called out.
"What are you doing? Cats can't understand their names," Katerina said, rolling her eyes.
"But you were just…" Ilene protested, but she was interrupted when she noticed something rubbing against her leg.
"Ah, what's that!?" she exclaimed.
"Kelija!" Katerina squealed. "I was worried sick! We need to start searching again!"
With that, they ran back into the forest.
After running for a bit, Katerina came running back out, squealing with excitement.
"Another disc!" she squealed as she held one in her hand. "Another disc!"
She quickly ran over to slot and placed the disc inside.
"Yes!" Ilene cheered, pumping her fist.
Felines – 2
Zebras – 1
Mantises – 2
In the midst of the forest, Petros and Stela were walking in complete darkness.
"It sure is…er…dark," Stela commented.
"It's a dense part of the forest," Petros stated. "What did you expect?"
"There's no need to be so snarky."
"Well, I'll do it anyway," Petros shrugged. "You chose to walk with me, so deal with it."
Stela sighed to herself, "We better find a disc soon."
They walked for a bit more, before Stela stopped in surprise.
"Damn it! There's a small tree in the way," she groaned.
"Who are you calling a 'small tree?" Agnessa asked angrily.
"Oh, excuse me," Stela giggled nervously. "I didn't see you there."
"And to think, you just said it was dark," Petros said sarcastically.
"Shut up," Stela snapped.
"Whatever you wish. In fact, I think I'll be off. I'd rather not stop and chat," Petros shrugged, before walking off.
"Wait…" Stela protested, but he was already gone.
"So…how have you been?" she asked Agnessa awkwardly.
"Okay…" Agnessa replied uncertainly, before walking off.
[Confessional: I can hear Meghan Trainor laughing right now. I f**king hate Meghan Trainor.
Stela (Romania): It was dark! How was I supposed to know!?
Agnessa (Belarus): A small tree? Stela has some nerve!
Correct me if I'm wrong, but wasn't she allies with Amanda last year?]
Petros continued to walk alone on the path, only to bump in to Marios and Symon.
"Why, hello," Petros greeted. "This feels like a bumper car amusement ride – you know, I keep bumping into so many people?"
Marios and Symon both looked at him weirdly.
"Yeah…er…Marios…long time no see…yes?" Petros said, starting to get very nervous.
"Well, I've obviously seen you around, but…yeah, never spoken," Marios stated.
"Look, do you wanna with us or what?" Symon asked rudely.
Marios glared at him, and he added, "What? There's still a challenge going on."
"I suppose we can walk for a bit," Petros shrugged. "So, what happened on the Mantises while I was gone?"
"Not much, really," Marios replied. "Ilene joined, but she was quiet, and then there was Agnessa and Hadi, who really just keep to themselves.
The Zebras were a whole other story, though."
"Agreed," Symon, of course, agreed. "You should try having Jessie on your team from the start. She's [Ukrainian swear word] sadistic! She tried blackmailing me and Alma by trying to beat me up, and then she blackmailed Pavils and Lou last night by keeping them in the cabin until elimination."
"Ah, I see," Petros nodded. "So…how did they leave?"
"Oh…um…" Marios said nervously, but Symon managed to catch him in time.
"It's a mystery," Symon shrugged.
"What about you?" Marios asked. "How are the Felines doing?"
"Not bad," Petros replied, before he spotted something over their shoulders. "There's all these…um…weird alliances that are being formed. But enough about me. Symon, I haven't talked to you much. What has…um…your journey been like?"
"Why are you hesi…" Symon asked, before pausing and clearing his throat. "I mean, well, I started off on the Shady Sharks, and there were nine of us. Me, Alma, Dani, Agnessa, Hadi, Shay, Jessie…"
Petros and Symon both dashed for the luminous disc which was on the ground nearby.
"Huh!?" Marios exclaimed as he witnessed Petros and Symon on the ground trying to wrestle each other away.
Marios sighed, "You two are so weak. Well, so am I, but I'm not your level."
He bent over and grabbed Petros' arm, pulling him away before dropping him into a mud.
"You f***ing kidding!?" Petros yelled. "Yes! Another disc!" Marios cheered.
"Let's get this back quick!"
With that, Marios and Symon ran off.
Petros yelled several Armenian swear words before flopping back down in the mud.
[Confessional: Mud – closer to actual Caucasian skin than white.
Petros (Armenia): [groans] That's the last time I make small talk during a challenge.
Symon (Ukraine): Heh, I sure am on a roll of craftiness for the last couple days. First getting rid of Jessie, now this.]
Symon and Marios had just walked off when Pavils came by, still whistling to himself.
"Gruh," Petros mumbled as he continued to mope in the puddle of mud.
"Um…who is that?" Pavils asked.
"Murrrr! Murrrr!" Petros started to growl as he quickly got up.
"Okay…er…you're not that scary. I'll be…um…walking away…" Pavils said nervously.
"GRAAAAAAAH! GRAAAAAAAAAHHHH!" Petros roared as he got up and started chasing after Pavils.
Pavils let out a high pitched scream before running off.
Petros chased after Pavils until he was out of earshot before he stopped and laughed to himself.
[Confessional: What in actual AWESOMENESS!
Petros (Armenia): [chuckles to himself] That, viewers, is a productive way to interact with the other teams
Pavils (Latvia): [stares at the camera blankly] What the f*** was that?]
Eloise and Vincenz had just walked away from their box.
(They were much farther away from the entrance than Katerina and Ilene, which is why they took longer to get to the box)
"We need to get more," Eloise said as they walked back to the entrance when Marios and Symon walked by.
"Hello," Marios greeted.
"Marios, how's it been since you left the Mantises?" Vincenz asked.
"Come on," Eloise groaned, tugging on his arm.
"We made it!" Marios exclaimed as he slipped their disc into the box. "And not a moment too soon."
"Yeah," Symon agreed as he pointed at the LED scoreboard above the boxes. "We were behind up until now."
Just then, they were interrupted by Pavils, who will was still screaming as he ran out of the forest.
"Huh?" Marios exclaimed.
"What the heck?" groaned Symon.
"Arrrrggggghhhhh!" Pavils screamed as he stopped running. "Arrrrrggggghhhh!"
"Pavils, what is wrong with you!?" Symon exclaimed angrily.
"Hmmm?" Pavils asked as he stopped screaming and looked up at them. "Oh, me? I wasn't screaming. Not at all..."
"You're a terrible liar, Pavils," Symon groaned.
"Never mind," Pavils groaned, giving Symon a light shove. "On my way over, I found a disc. Happy now?"
He handed it to Marios, who started cheering in excitement.
Symon cheered for a few seconds, before he started coughing hysterically.
"Into the box!" Marios exclaimed, before the box started dinging.
"Congratulations to the Zany Zebras!" Adrijana announced over the intercom. "They win first place!"
"Yes!" Marios cheered as he and Symon hugged each other. Pavils then came over and let them high five with him.
"Come to the mess hall after the challenge and I will reveal your reward!" Adrijana concluded. "Goodbye until then!"
"A surprise award," Symon commented.
"And from Adrijana too," Marios chuckled, wiggling his eyebrows. "I can't wait."
Pavils put a hand on Marios' shoulder and said, "Do you want to get the abortion knife on standby."
Marios raised an eyebrow, before quickly backing away.
Pavils turned around to find that Symon had also disappeared.
"[Latvian swear word]," he groaned.
[Confessional: That was…really dark…
Pavils (Latvia): [groans] Yep, still saying stupid s***.
Symon (Ukraine): What the...what in actual…f[holds the word for several seconds]ck!
Marios (Greece): I think I'm gonna be sick…]
Carolyn, Rikard, Emilia and Lou were still walking through the forest together when the announcement was made.
"Eeeeiiiiii!" Emilia squealed as Lou picked her up and swung her around in the air. "We did it! First place!"
Carolyn and Rikard groaned at this.
"Oh…er…sorry," Lou said nervously as he gently placed Emilia back on the ground.
"It's alright," Carolyn assured them. "We had a fun time walking with you."
"You can still win," Emilia told them. "Come on, if we're quick, we can find another one!"
"You'd do that for us?" Carolyn asked.
"Yeah, I love Felines!" Emilia squealed. "My friends Gemma and Gus have two cats and…ugh, f**** that, let's get you a disc!"
With that, she ran off hysterically.
"Um…where is she going?" Carolyn asked in confusion.
"This has to be timed well, Carolyn," Lou said, putting a hand on her shoulder.
"What?" Carolyn said, still baffled.
[Confessional: A disc is found every 500 words, in case you haven't already realized
Emilia (Netherlands): Yes! I can do this for Carolyn! Who cares about those Mantises?
Oh, then again, Sanna is on that team. And so is Ilene.
Ah, whatever, Carolyn didn't run off unlike Sanna.]
Sanna and Tyge had just met up with Hadi and Agnessa and they were walking together in a big cluster.
"Come on! We need to find one quick!" Hadi exclaimed in panic. "Alright, everyone, look in a different direction! With panoramic vision, we'll find in no time!"
"Got it!" Tyge exclaimed, and he quickly grabbed the handles of Sanna's wheelchair and put it back to back with Agnessa, before standing between them.
"All right! We got this!" Hadi exclaimed. "But be pati…"
"Hey, look, there's a disc over there!" Sanna exclaimed.
"Well, that's convenient," Hadi commented.
"I got it! I got it!" Tyge exclaimed as he quickly picked up the disc and flailed his arms about as he ran off.
"Go Tyge!" Sanna cheered, clapping and cheering. "You can do it!"
"Hmm-hmm-hmm-hmm," Emilia hummed to herself as they darted through the path. "Find a disc! Find a disc! Find a disc!"
[Confessional: You're Dutch! You're Dutch! You're Dutch!
Emilia (Netherlands): Damn it! I knew I should have timed it better.
Hadi (Israel): Wow, Tyge is a like a bullet.
[he sulks] Some people get the best of everything.]
Berto groaned as he slowly pulled his legs across the path.
"That cat…that cat…that cat needs to be put in a bag and tossed in a river," Berto growled to himself as he rubbed his face.
Just then, he looked up and heard roaring from nearby.
"What the…" he said, before he spotted Tyge running over. "I have an idea."
As Tyge was about to go by, Berto stuck out his leg and made Tyge trip over and fall to the ground.
"Au!" Tyge exclaimed as he slowly got on one knee. He looked up and noticed Berto standing before him.
"Grazie," Berto beamed before swiping the disc from Tyge's hand.
"Get back here!" Tyge exclaimed just as Berto ran off, chasing after him.
[Confessional: That is dirtier than Petros – who is literally dirty at this point
Berto (San Marino): What? Like it's the worst thing I did this season!
Or last season for that matter.
Tyge (Norway): [chuckles] Wow…Berto is good
Hey, it's just a game, right?]
Berto was still running from Tyge as he exited the forest.
"Just give it up, Tyge!" Berto exclaimed. "You're never going to catch me!"
"Is that right?" Tyge smiled, before he grabbed Berto's collar, bringing him to the ground.
"Ah, get off me! Get off me!" Berto exclaimed. "You wouldn't seriously hurt someone."
"Oh, Berto, you would be surprised," Tyge chuckled as he lay on top of him. "Now c'mon. Give it to me."
"If you want it, go and get it!" Berto exclaimed as he weakly flung the disc away from them.
Tyge crawled off to try and get it, but Berto came prepared.
"Haha, you fell for it. You're so naïve," Berto snorted, before getting up and giving Tyge a punch in the chest.
He quickly bent over and grabbed the disc before running over to the box and slipping the disc in.
"With that, the Ferocious Felines win second place! They win immunity!" Adrijana announced over the intercom.
"Yes! Yes!" Berto cheered, jumping up and down in excitement, before he stopped and noticed Tyge again. "Er…"
Tyge reached out his hand. "Well played," he said.
"Er…thank you," Berto said, smiling a little, and he shook Tyge's hand.
"Yes!" Rikard squealed as he burst out of the forest with Carolyn. "Go, Emilia! Go, Emilia!"
"Er…guys?" Berto frowned, waving his hand.
"Oh," Carolyn and Rikard said in disappointment, but they shrugged it off and continued cheering. "Go Berto! Go Berto! Go Berto!"
Just then, they could hear grumbling coming from behind them.
They suddenly stopped and looked back nervously, before a muddy figure came up from behind them.
Rikard and Carolyn both screamed and ran over to the box, before the figure shook off some mud, and revealed who he was.
"Hello," Petros greeted cheerfully as he casually walked out.
Rikard groaned at this, while Carolyn couldn't help but smile a little.
[Confessional: And thus ends the final challenge of the merge. The Mantises have an 8 to 7 chance of making it!
Carolyn (United Kingdom): Heh, even when he's covered in mud, Petros is still cute.
Berto (San Marino): Wow, Tyge is very sportsmanlike.
See, he gets this game! Why can't everyone else!?
Also, he was smiling even when he beat me up. That's kind of creepy…
Rikard (Finland): Wait, what happened to Stela?]
The Zebras were all seated in the mess hall, eating their semi-edible dinner when Adrijana entered the room.
"Hello, everyone!" she greeted. "Enjoying your dinner?"
There was a chorus of 'meh's and 'eh's at that.
"Yeah, I thought so – that's why I ordered Chinese for all of you!" Adrijana exclaimed.
The seven of them all started cheering as Adrijana placed two paper bags on the table.
"Wait, but that's not even your reward. Your real reward is a special announcement – from here on, the teams are no more. From here on, it is officially the merge!"
The seven members of the Zebras all continued to cheer their heads off.
"And that's not all," Adrijana continued. "Tomorrow…there will be a get back in challenge! That's right! 3 of the 15 eliminated contestants will return for a second chance!"
More cheering ensued, before Marios said, "Wait? Only 15? But sixteen people didn't make the merge."
"Yeah, about that – I'm no longer eligible. I've seen some of the confessionals, so the producers didn't think it would be fair," Adrijana stated.
"Oh," Marios sighed, looking a little glum.
"I'm not even onto the best part," Adrijana concluded. "All seven of you will be watching it live tomorrow! Enjoy!"
Let's just say the cheering was so loud, one of the light-bulbs blew.
[Confessional: You already knew, but still, isn't this amazing!?
Emilia (Netherlands): Yes, we made the merge! Isn't this amazing?
Lou (Cyprus): Of course. It sure wasn't an easy journey, but I'm so glad we could make it together.
Emilia: Adrijana must be so proud of us! We need to follow in her footsteps! I'm sorry, Lou, but one of us has to win!
Lou: What about Marios?
Emilia: Screw Marios! It's you or me, baby!
Lou: Alright. And since I'm so generous, I'll give you 25% of the winnings.
Emilia: Does that include tax?
Lou: What?
Emilia: Well, if you give someone money, you have to pay tax on it.
Lou: How about I just buy you €250,000 worth of stuff? It's easier.
Emilia: And I'll do the same if I win – it's a deal!
[the two of them start making out]
Finn (Ireland): The merge! Savage!
I never I'd make it past the national selection, let alone the first half of episodes, but I did! I made it! This is kicka**!
Sveda (Azerbaijan): Should I be surprised? Honestly, I was never 100% sure.
I mean, last season the only villain who made the merge was Aleksander, who didn't even try.
I am going to pick up where Amanda left off…eventually.
Let's be honest, nobody sees me as a threat. Having Jessie do all the work was a big help. I need not worry that much until later on – if ever.
Symon (Ukraine): [coughs hysterically]
I'm sorry, but this is incredible! I never thought I'd make the merge – especially as myself. I thought having other characters was the way to go – but I was cut sixth last time, and I'm still here second time round.
Also, front seats to the second chance challenge! That's going to be cool. Here's hoping Alma comes back…and not Jessie.
Pavils (Latvia): This is amazing…really. I thought I'd screw up again, and, let's be honest, I have, but I'm still safe.
From here, my biggest problem is saying stupid stuff and doing stupid actions.
I should just stay low…hopefully that will help.
Marios (Greece): Here's to winning second time round, but I don't have high hopes.
Of the twelve people who made the merge last time, only four are left, and the rest of us are probably going to be seen as threats.
Oh well…I can still hope for the best.]
Eloise and Vincenz were still walking through the forest.
"Hey, look, there's over there," Vincenz commented, pointing to the left.
Eloise narrowed her eyes at him, and he sighed, "I'm just saying. I know it doesn't matter."
"Did you tell Ilene the plan?" Eloise asked.
"Yeah. We discuss who to vote off, Ilene and Katerina discuss who to vote off, me and Ilene share ideas, and we have a vote," Vincenz replied.
"Yeah, that's right," Eloise confirmed, nodding.
"Are you sure this is necessary? It's rather complicated," Vincenz stated.
"I think it's worth it. The others will get suspicious if they see us all together," Eloise replied. "With that said, there are four choices to vote off…"
"Let's discuss them one by one," Vincenz suggested. "So…Agnessa first?"
"She's staying, of course," Eloise stated. "She's the least problematic to be honest."
"Yeah, she wouldn't have been a choice of mine either," Vincenz replied. "Hadi?"
"I think he would be a good choice. He's not the strongest of players, so he's a possibility…but I'd rather go with Sanna," Eloise replied. "I think she gets in the way the most, and she's not as strong a player as the others. Even Hadi won the tree-house challenge."
"Do their strengths matter at this point?" Vincenz asked. "I mean, the merge is coming soon."
"Yes, but once we get to the merge, everyone is going to be targeting the threats – if we can keep them around, we have a better chance of slipping through," Eloise stated.
"Hmm…I never thought of it that way. It's actually kind of clever," Vincenz commented. "Okay, we save Tyge as well, but…I'm still leaning towards Hadi."
"If we get rid of Sanna, Tyge won't have a voice of reason – he's a naïve guy," Eloise explained. "If we get rid of Sanna, we can get Tyge's vote more easily."
"Hmm…it's kind of a long shot though," Vincenz commented. "Still, we save Tyge and Agnessa – we'll see what Ilene and Katerina think."
"Alright," Eloise said.
[Confessional: Hmm...what will happen?
Vincenz (Switzerland): There's a lot of good energy in Eloise, but she's still her crafty self.
But that's not a problem. Nobody is 100% good. I believe that is called grey morality.
Eloise (France): I'd like things to go my way, but…ugh…I can't believe I'm doing this, but I think Ilene and Katerina should have a say as well.]
Tyge and Sanna were hanging outside the cabin.
"So…who to vote for," Sanna sighed. "We really need to be careful. None of us are safe this time. We have six choices."
"Well, I really don't have any preference. To be honest, I don't really want to get rid of anyone," Tyge sighed. "But we must."
"I was thinking…Eloise or Hadi," Sanna replied. "Do you still want to keep Eloise?"
"I don't really care at this point. She's had a good run – but we can't get rid of her just because you think she's a villain," Tyge stated. "And Hadi did win the treehouse challenge for us."
"Those are good points," Sanna stated. "What about the others? Ilene blends in too much – she doesn't really stand out. Then there's Katerina – she's strong, but let's face it…she can be a little nuts…"
"Should we really be talking about them behind their backs?" Tyge asked, raising an eyebrow. "I think we should see who the others are voting for. It worked last time."
"Yeah. Poor Tia," Sanna sighed, before putting a hand on Tyge's arm. "But you have a point. Let's go see what the others are thinking. You ask the guys, and I'll ask the girls."
"Okay," Tyge nodded. "Well meet back here later."
[Confessional: Another power erupts!
Sanna (Denmark): Things are very tight at the moment! There's no clear loser, and no real alliances, so I really need to fight.]
Sanna came inside the cabin. Katerina was sitting on a top bunk and holding Kelija like she was Rafiki holding Simba, and Agnessa was doing heads-over-heels on one of the lower bunks.
"Hello," Sanna greeted.
"Hi," Katerina and Agnessa greeted, sounding rather bored.
"Where's Ilene and Eloise?" Sanna asked.
"Ilene went to talk to Vincenz. We don't know what happened to Eloise," Katerina sighed as she placed Kelija back on the bed. "How are you?"
"I'm fine. I was just wondering who you were voting for," Sanna said.
"Me and Hadi were just talking about it," Agnessa stated. "We…uh…had a couple of ideas."
"I have no clue," Katerina stated as she lay down on the bunk.
"So, who were you thinking?" Sanna asked Agnessa as she came towards her.
"I dunno. We were thinking…maybe Eloise…but…maybe not. Also, Hadi considered Vincenz. Apparently Vincenz is being really annoying," Agnessa stated.
"Hmm…maybe he's not a bad choice," Sanna stated. "I'll see what Tyge thinks."
She looked at Katerina and said, "Katerina, do you want to join us and go with Vincenz?"
Katerina had to do her best not to look alarmed.
"I dunno," she grumbled as she buried her face into the bed.
"Well, I'll let you think about it," Sanna stated, before heading for the door.
"I'll go tell Hadi," Agnessa added, also leaving the room.
As she opened the door, Ilene came in.
"Hello," Agnessa agreed, to which Ilene nodded politely, before shutting the door behind her.
"So, who do they want to vote for?" Katerina asked Ilene.
"Vincenz said Eloise wants to go with Sanna, but she's fine with Hadi," Ilene replied.
"Yeah, speaking of which, Sanna was in here just now. She convinced Agnessa to vote for Vincenz," Katerina said in a panicking tone.
"Okay, that is not good," Ilene sighed. "That means we'll probably have a tie."
Just then, Eloise came inside.
"Hey, girls," she greeted. "I thought I'd just cool down for a bit before the elimination. Are you on board?"
"Yeah, we'll vote for Sanna," Katerina replied. "But there's something you should know."
"Oh, what?" Eloise asked.
"Well…Sanna has been going around convincing people to vote for Vincenz," Ilene stated.
"What!?" Eloise exclaimed.
"And she's got Tyge, Agnessa and Hadi on board," Katerina added.
"Okay…that's not good news," Eloise sighed. "If that's the case, maybe voting off Sanna wouldn't be such a good idea."
"Why's that?" Katerina asked.
"Well, she's a social girl. She has lots of friends on the other two teams, and, let's be honest, who would you go for? Sanna, the girl who came second last season and had lots of allies and friends, or Vincenz, that quiet new guy?" Eloise asked.
"She makes a good point," Ilene said to Katerina. "So who do we go with? I mean, the other three still have friends on the other teams – who do we choose?"
"I did think of that, but I have made my decision. If you don't agree, we can change it," Eloise stated. "But I think we should go with…"
[Confessional: Suspense! P.S. At this point I have no idea who the tiebreaker is – in fact, there is a virtual spinning wheel next to this document to eliminate each candidate one at a time.
Eloise (France): I think the alliance has made the best decision, and I hope it works out. Here are my votes…
Vincenz (Switzerland): I wasn't expecting Eloise to choose this person, but I do agree that it's the smartest move.
3 points go to…
[static cut]
I really hope I don't leave. I suppose trying to help Hadi wasn't such a good idea.]
The eight members of the Mantises sat before Adrijana, who had a plate of marshmallows on a podium nearby.
"Tonight was very suspenseful. And I mean very. Obviously there was no clear loser tonight, so the voting was very unpredictable.
With that, I will get on with it. Only one person did not receive any votes tonight…"
…
"…Agnessa."
"Phew," Agnessa said in delight, before getting up and collect the first marshmallow.
"Six left!" Adrijana continued. "Also safe…"
…
Ilene
…
Katerina
…
Hadi
…
Eloise
…
Sanna
…
Sanna looked satisfied as she wheeled herself towards the podium to collect her marshmallow, but had a look of concern as she gazed back at Tyge.
"Contestants, there is only one marshmallow remaining!" Adrijana announced. "Tonight, the eliminate could have been anyone, but due to unforeseen circumstances, it appears you two are the bottom two."
"I believe I know why I'm here," Vincenz sighed, before standing up. "I just want to say, if I leave tonight – Hadi, I am sorry that I pushed you around this morning. I didn't know it annoyed you."
"Don't worry about it," Hadi assured him. "Everyone makes mistakes."
"With that, I think I am ready to leave, if I do," Vincenz stated.
"And I was never going to win anyway, so I don't care either," Tyge added.
"With that, I can announce that the vote is a tie!" Adrijana announced, much to the surprise of Agnessa, Hadi and particularly Sanna.
"And I can reveal that the tiebreaker is…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"…Petros."
"Ooh…" Sanna said nervously. "Didn't he break up Symon and Alma?"
"I believe so," Agnessa replied.
Eloise's face had gone very pale.
"With that, the final marshmallow goes to…" Adrijana concluded.
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"…Tyge."
Tyge nodded at this, before getting up and taking the last piece of confectionery.
Eloise looked shocked at this.
"No…" she said blankly.
"Oh well," Vincenz sighed as he stood up once more. "My time has come. But I believe I have left on a high note."
He spotted the interns up ahead, and walked over.
As he did so, he stopped at Eloise, and gave her a tight hug, and a kiss on the cheek.
"Good luck," he said simply, before walking off.
"As for you seven, you're all safe," Adrijana stated. "Enjoy it while it lasts."
The seven of them walked off, though some slower than others…
[Confessional: Who saw that coming? Even the author didn't!
Eloise (France): [is sobbing quietly]
Petros (Armenia): I have to do this again? Really?
So - Tyge or Vincenz? To be honest, they're both pretty similar.
Still, like with Jessie, Tyge is probably going to be a bigger threat come the merge, so it's a good idea to keep him around.
Eloise (France): [looks up]
How did that plan fail!?]
"So…that was the final elimination before the merge. And boy was it an unexpected one," Adrijana stated as she faced the camera once more. "Tune in next time when the fifteen eliminated contestants compete in mini-challenges right here on Euro…Drama…Farmyard!"

Even I didn't expect that to happen. Really...
Honestly, that was another elimination where anyone could have left, but I had to go with what would have naturally happened, and not just gone with the person with the least relevance.
So...let's talk about Vincenz. Honestly, there's a lot to say.
Vincenz was the last character that I created out of the eight new characters - originally the Swiss contestant was supposed to be a girl called Viviana, but I decided to change that to balance out the genders.
As a result, I really didn't know what to do with him - I had plans for the other seven new contestants, and while they didn't all go to plan, at least I thought they had potential.
So at the beginning, he was basically a Tyge clone - with some added features such as being very religious and doing yoga.
He looked to be cannon fodder, and that's what he ended up being. He was almost the fourth person voted off, but he just lost out to Anka.
After that, I personally think he developed for the better. First he had that back story where he nearly killed someone, and then he had the plot with Eloise -
I really enjoyed writing for that plot. It started off as a fake relationship and turned into a genuine friendship (P.S. They are likely going to remain friends - I don't feel too strongly about them being a couple), until Eloise completely broke down in front of him - though she didn't completely change, of course.
I hate having to see him leave, but my writing can go very beyond my control.
Next time - It's the second chance challenge! 3 of the 15 eliminated contestants get back in the game! Who do you want it to be? (Including it in a review won't have any impact, but it would be good to know :D ).
Disclaimer - That is...if the reviews come through this time :)
