Evicted Contestants' Location

The evicted contestants gathered together to watch the latest episode of Total Drama Arts, which in their opinion would probably be the beginning of the most dramatic rounds of evictions leading up the finals. Shawn scooted himself up to the front of the TV, needing to see first hand if his best friend would get the boot.

"man, this is going to be BRUTAL." Shawn said, taking a sip of his red bull. He loved some good competition, but he was sad about his friend. He didn't want to see her going so soon.

"It's back on!" Nathan said, shushing everyone and turning the volume back up.

"Neveah, Brandon O, Zakk, and Analisia… You are all safe." The four of them sighed with relief, but worrying about their person who was at risk of going home.

"Dana and Ben are also safe, which only leads to one more person being safe…" Brandon O looked at them, confused.

"I thought we were getting Dana out." Brandon O whispered.

The ex-contestants gasped, not thinking that someone would screw this up.

"Now why the hell would they get Dana out? Brandon D, you idiot!" Shawn said, throwing his chips at the TV. A voice came behind them.

"Shawn, cut him some slack. His mom died." And that voice was Sami! Shawn went up to the girl and hugged her, picking her up and spinning her. The rest of the ex-contestants came up to her and gave condolences and congratulations for making it this far, and Sami batted her eyelashes, trying not to cry.

"Are you okay?" Piper said, putting her hand on her arm. Everyone was shocked, they thought Sami would win.

"I'm fine. It was my time to go." Sami stepped in with her suitcase, shedding a tear as she watched her final scene on the screen hugging Zakk goodbye.

"So, your first time, huh?" Piper said. Shawn gave her a look.

"Did you use protection?" Shawn asked hastily, not trusting Zakk still. Sami gave him a look.

"Do you know me at all?" Sami laughed, knowing that didn't need an answer, and looked over to Piper. "We have so much to catch up on, but can I catch you later? I really want some time with Shawn right now." Piper smiled. Now that she was evicted and enjoying her time off the screen, she had a better attitude, not having to impress anyone here.

"Girl, we have so much free time here. Take your time. I'll catch you tomorrow morning." Sami smiled and hugged Piper as Shawn grabbed her luggage, then looked down at her cell phone: 147 missed calls and texts – some from friends back home congratulating her, some from her parents asking her to call them, the rest from talent agencies across the country. Though she was sad to be gone from the show, she knew she had a bright future ahead of her.

Living Room

Zakk sat in a corner of the couch, away from everyone and alone, during breakfast today. Brandon O wanted to speak to him to see how he's doing, but didn't want a broken nose incident 2.0. Zakk looked down at his omelet and frowned, knowing Sami wasn't here – and that she didn't make this. No one makes omelets like Sami does.

Confession Cam

Zakk: *stands up and kicks his chair* What is wrong with me? Why am I like this? I'm such a sissy. *deep breaths* I just... I can't believe how fixated they were on getting her out, as if she were a bad person. She's the best person I've ever met. She's sweet, funny, smart… She's... she's all I want and more in this sick, twisted world. And I think I want to be with her for the rest of my life. She's my girl. *looks down, trying to hide the fact that he's shedding a tear* *after a few seconds of pausing, he looks up, looking fine again* Sami said I couldn't beat Brandon D up, but she said nothing about poking some fun at him. *winks*

Brandon O: *slaps self in the face, a red mark appears* Stupid, stupid, stupid... it's my fault she's gone. I just hope Zakk isn't mad at me. But, is it wrong that a part of me is glad she's gone? I wouldn't want to go against her in the final 2. Sami probably would have won the game.

The contestants, who were still in the middle of waking up, got startled and jumped in their seats as Chris came in with a bullhorn.

"Good morning, contestants!" Chris smiled as the contestants covered their ears, groaning. "We're having a surprise pop competition, today!" Courtney came up to Chris, taking away his bullhorn as the campers groaned and gasped, not being ready to endure a challenge at this moment.

"That's enough of the bullhorn, Chris. Who gave it back to him?" Courtney looked over at Lindsay, who was ducking her head. "I knew I should have thrown it out." Chris got in front of the two girls, putting the spotlight back on himself.

"Anyway, get dressed and meet in the basement pronto!"

Girls Room

Ben, dreading this day, not wanting to sit through who knows what kind of torturous music, knocked on the door of the girls room, hoping to get through to Scarletta. She answered the door, putting only her head into the door.

"What do you want?" She said, giving him a look.

"So does this mean you're still mad at me?"

"Are you still in Brandon D's alliance?" Ben looked away from her.

"...maybe."

"Then my answer is yes." Scarletta closed the door, but Ben put his hand between the door and the wall before it could close, opening the door further so he can see inside.

"Scar... you really can't still be mad at me for this. There's nothing else I can say to you! I never hated Sami – hell, I barely knew her. I just... she's a strong competitor and Brandon gave me a good deal to stay in this game long-term. Final 4 beats final 6, I'm sorry."

"Sami would-" Ben put his hands over his face, groaning.

"Understand why I'm doing this." There was a pause from Scarletta. She knew he was right, but she was just in such a shock that she couldn't comprehend it. She closed the door, letting what he said sink in. A few seconds went by until she opened the door and stood in front of the door, ready to listen to what he had to say.

"Look, I'm a musician. A depressed musician. I want this money. I want to do big things, both for my mental health and future as a musician. This money can guarantee that. I'm sure you feel the same way!" Ben took her hand, proving to her that what he was saying mattered, too. "I know you miss your friend but it was a good move for everyone. We can still be in final 2 together if you want-"

"If I want? If I want?! I don't think that as my boyfriend you should be saying if I want to be." Ben groaned, knowing that was the wrong word choice. "You should already want to compete against me. But no, you're on the other side now, and when my side says you're going down, you're going down." She stared at him, still feeling hurt, but also gave him a sad look as she turned around and slowly closed the door on him.

"I'm sorry." Scarletta whispered as she cradled the door handle.

Confession Cam

Scarletta: It's silly that I'm being like this. I know. But… I just... I can't control it! I have trust issues. I want to patch things up with Ben but it's just so hard knowing he's on the other side, and could be plotting to get me out. And I... I miss Sami. She understood me. I haven't slept thoroughly since she's been gone. I'm... I'm getting nightmares again. I think when I get out I need to see a therapist.

Ben: I feel bad about being on Brandon's side and not Scar's. But I was never even friends with her friends, I don't fit in with them. If I did hang out with Scar's friends, it was just to be with Scar. I can't believe Scarletta is being this way, and I can't believe I'm saying this, but... I'd rather be with Sabrina right now. *Ben looks at the camera, realizing how bad that sounded, and how he didn't mean that* oh god. I'm so sorry. *sighs, looking down, realizing that it's not worth it to fight for what he meant to say anymore* What's the point?

Basement

All of the contestants were in the basement, dreading what type of musical torture Chris would bring about. They all found a spot – in their respective sides, of course – getting comfortable; knowing each side and their motives, everyone knew that they'd all be here for a long time. Each side had four people, so winning this was crucial. Chris stood in the middle of the contestants, looking like he wanted to just get this over with.

"Welcome to the basement! We're hoping that the no AC thing will help with getting you all out of here quicker, because this is just as bad for us." Zakk rolled his eyes.

"Says the one who can leave the room and mute us on the security cameras." Chris ignored Zakk's comment and continued on.

"Now, the rules of the competition are to stay in this room. If you leave the room or try to silence the music, whether that means trying to turn the music off, lower the volume, or putting your hands over your ears, you're out. How will you know if you broke a rule? We'll announce it over the PA system and change the song to a new song. If you're the last one to stay here, you win immunity that you can put onto yourself or pass onto someone else. Not only that, but in the event of a tiebreaker, you'll get to break that tie!" The contestants looked at their respected sides – the game just changed. "Now, who's ready for some cringe?" The contestants groaned, not ready for what was about to happen. Chris, not batting an eyelash while doing so, took out a remote and pressed play, leaving the room. The first song played, and the contestants looked at each other with a blank stare – it was very obvious what the theme would be.

This mailbox is mine

And this triagonal sign!

The blue balloon, the month of June,

It's mine, mine, mine, mine, miiiiine.

Confession Cam

Neveah: Sami liked memes. She probably would have won it for our side.

About two hours have gone on, and they've gotten through countless renditions of We Are Number One, the Mine song, The Lorax soundtrack songs, and "Bee Movie but every time…" audio. The current song wasn't really a song, but has a music remix of Barry Benson from Bee Movie saying ya like jazz? for about thirty minutes. The contestants were ready to drop, but this week's winner could determine which side of the house continued to be victorious. Over on Brandon D's side, they were strategizing, figuring out who to get out this week.

"Ugh, this isn't even music!" Brandon D waited until Zakk and his side wasn't paying attention to him, and then diverted the topic to this week's elimination. "So I'm thinking we should get Zakk out this week, and knowing them they're going to try to get me out, so any one of us can win this and be the tiebreaker." The gang looked over to Analisia, who was silent over most of the talk about how great it was to get Sami out. Analisia got out of her funk, realizing the three were staring at her.

"I'm sorry... I wasn't paying attention. What did you say?" She knew it was wrong in a game move way, but she was upset that Sami was out. Dana was a great friend to her since they started being on the same side, but Dana isn't Sami. Sami was so great to her ever since she lost Lissie and Charlie, but she can't help but feel guilty about helping get her out. Brandon D was getting upset at her at this point.

Confession Cam

Brandon D: I've tried to be understanding. Analisia is a warrior. A lot has happened in her personal and game life in this game. But I can't take it anymore! She should be celebrating, not weeping… Charlie, man, I don't know how you do it. She's being just as annoying as these memes.

Brandon D looked at the girl. He knew he might say something out of anger that he'd regret, but he couldn't stop himself from saying it – it came out like word vomit.

"You know, Analisia, if you miss Sami so much, why don't you go join the other alliance?" Ben, Dana, and Ben looked at him, shocked at his stupidity. They were all thinking the same thing: No, she should not go over there. That would ruin their numbers. But Brandon D was so angry and just wanted to talk game without Analisia feeling guilty every minute, and said something he didn't mean. Now he just hoped he didn't take her advice. Analisia stood quiet for a few minutes, as did the rest of them, before speaking up.

"I don't even know if I want to be with you guys anymore… I'm sorry. It's just… I think I did it for protection at first, and because the idea sounded so great, but… you guys are great. I just don't belong here. I know this will probably get me out this week but… I'm sorry. I have to do this for my own game, and for myself." Analisia moved over to the other side, trying not to sob, hearing Ben get mad at Brandon D for starting this.

She was torn. She didn't know whose side to be on, so she thought, maybe the side of Sami's friends since she cared about Sami so much. But would they be accepting of her? She didn't really know them much. Zakk, Brandon O, Neveah and Scarletta stopped talking when they saw the girl go up to her, thinking she was the stereotypically quiet, innocent girl sent to be a spy.

"What do you want?" Zakk said defensively.

"I'm not here to cause any harm. I… I left their alliance." Everyone looked at her, shocked since she's not known for bold and daring moves. Zakk started feeling sorry he snapped at her. Analisia looked down, struggling for the right words and saying whatever came out at this point. "I don't… I just… I don't want to be with them when I feel this guilty about Sami. All they care about is picking people off. And yeah, ultimately that's what we're all doing no matter what side we're all on. I just thought, maybe I would enjoy being with you guys more? I don't know… I don't even know what I want. Maybe I should be a lone wolf? I.. I totally get it if you don't want me, I get it if you think I'm lying, but I—" Scarletta put a hand on her shoulder, stopping the girl from talking.

"Of course you're welcome with us. Now come on. You've got a lot to catch up on." Analisia smiled, sitting next to them, glad she got away from the other group. She felt a lot better on this side of the house, where it wasn't as pressuring.

Confession Cam

Zakk: This is great! We have an inside source, we're no longer even in numbers with them! Brandon D is definitely out! Now the only thing I wish could be here is Sami.

Brandon D: I can't believe I did that! Who am I becoming? I'm becoming this self-absorbed jerk who just wants to pick people off one by one to get myself further through the game! *slouches down, putting his elbows on his knees and his hands on his forehead, cursing to himself* I should start packing now.

Control Room

It has now been 8 hours, and Chris was getting mad. Nobody was stepping out of the room, no one has been backing down, no matter how high he put the music on, the contestants would just speak over it and try to ignore it. He turned off the music, watching the contestants get confused on the cameras. He turned on the microphone.

"That's it! You guys are too ruthless, and I'm not staying here for days… We're going to try one more thing. If you're all so confident on your sides, pick one person from your side. We're going to do a race. First one to run up the stairs, run around the yard, and come back, wins immunity and the power to break a tiebreaker. You've got thirty seconds!" Chris watched as the contestants tried to figure out who to pick, but after a few seconds, the sides brought their individual person out – Brandon O and Brandon D.

"All right, ready?" Chris looked at Ben.

"We're music people, why are we doing this? Why not something musical?" Ben yelled, looking at the camera.

"You just answered your own question. And GO!" Chris watched as the two ran – Brandon O being the lazy jock he was shaped up, nearly beating Brandon D, but each time he thought he'd win, Brandon D caught up to him. In the end, it was a close call, but Brandon O ended up taking the lead and beat Brandon D. His side cheered, while Brandon D gave his side a sorry but awkward look.

Confession Cam

Dana: What are we supposed to do? Obviously at this point we're so pissed at Brandon D that we want to get him out, but that would leave us at such a huge disadvantage for the rest of the game. It's going to be such a difficult decision!

Chris walked down to the basement to meet up with the contestants, glad to be walking down not hearing the meme reel, and handed out some papers and a pen for the elimination ceremony.

"Aren't we going to do this in the auditorium?" Dana asked, confused everything was going so quickly.

"Nope! Now let's get this episode over with." Chris turned around, letting the contestants talk everything over.

"So we're gonna vote for Zakk this week, right? The dude needs to go." Brandon D looked at his alliance members, not realizing they were all mad at him for everything that's happened to them.

"Oh yeah, definitely." Dana lied. While Brandon D was running, Dana and Ben agreed to get Brandon D out. He's caused so much drama today alone, just imagine what would happen if he continued to act out like this. They figured they would make this decision now, then deal with the aftermath later. Dana and Ben, being the last ones to fill out their form, ran to Chris, giving him their ballots. The contestants sat next to each other – next to each other, but still divided – and waited on Chris to count the ballots.

"So I'm just going to go ahead and say it… Almost everyone voted for the same person. There's no suspense, no tiebreakers... You guys are ruthless and I like it!" Brandon D looked over to Ben and Dana, confused. It's definitely not likely that they voted for Zakk. So if they didn't vote for Zakk, who did they vote for? He had a bad feeling about this. "So I'm just gonna go out and say it… Brandon D, you're out, dude. You've been eliminated." Defeated with himself, Brandon D looked at Dana and Ben.

"I'm sorry—" Dana started saying.

"I'm not." Ben interrupted.

"You've just messed up, and we can't risk that. It's strictly a game move." Dana hugged Brandon D. Brandon wasn't in the mood to say goodbyes, so he just looked at the two, understanding why they decided this, and left, just happy he'll at least be closer to seeing Mika. As he left, Zakk and the rest of them looked at Dana and Ben, shocked they would boot their leader.

"What can we say? He messed it up." Ben said, shrugging at them.

"I love these kids! Join us next time on Total Drama Arts!"

A/N: I kind of crammed so much into one chapter, but wow, this is getting harder and harder and harder! What is this now, final 7? Yeah, something like that. I can't believe I've taken this route. This is gonna be so hard to finish. I just wanted to say a huge thanks to the OC creators who are still around, Tyler and James. I really appreciate you both being here! I don't know what happened to everyone else, and I've tried looking to see if they have anymore active social medias, but there's nothing, so it's a little hard to continue this but I'm glad I have you two at least. As always, please review, let me know your thoughts as well as your character's! I always appreciate confessionals as you know. ALSO: If anyone is interested in adopting (which means you can give them confessionals, and change anything about them – at least for this story, and give me suggestions on who they'd vote for) anyone minus Brandon O and Zakk, let me know! Seeya guys soon! As always, PM me if you wanna chat or have some ideas/questions.
