Happy new year readers. ...Kinda late saying this when its this far into the year and as much as it annoys me that school is the reason for me being this busy due to how inconsistently this story is updated, I don't want tl use it as an excuse. This story is still nearing the finale and I hope to have it done as soon as possible.
But enough rambling, enjoy the chapter.
"Y'know Chef. I know the season started earlier this summer but it feels like we've been on this plane for months." Chris said, unaware of the camera rolling.
"Maybe its the game getting to you. You spend too much time hosting this show that it's messing with your mind." Chef answered.
"I guess." Chris sighed. "We ought to go on a real vacation when this season is over. I still own that resort by Camp Wawanackwa. We could invite some friends and just chill out there."
"Sounds cool with me." Chef said with a smile. "By the way I think the camera's on."
"Oh, really?" Chris asked in surprise. "Ah, um, previously on Total Drama World Tour: we headed to the land of Romania where our final seven contestants explored the old castle of Vlad the Impaler to search for six keys that opened the way for six of them to stay in the game. We saw hurling, we saw brawling, and most importantly; drama!
But back to brawling, the biggest brawl was between Gary and Sylvain, with the two going to war with each other! After Gary nearly killed Sylvain, our French chef fought back with all he had to make sure Gary didn't win. But even putting his blood, sweat, and tears into his recipe for revenge, his dish best served cold ended up burning. But Hayden tried to help him burn out in a blaze of glory as he tried to dig up dirt on Gary. The two of them found something but couldn't get the chance to relay it to the rest of the final six before Sylvain took the jump."
"Shame he had to go too." Chef added. "Kid's got some talent in the kitchen."
"Yeah! Some of his cooking is top notch! If he apploes himself he might be as good as you are!" Chris chuckled.
"Hmph, we'll see about that!" Chef huffed.
"And we'll see tonight where our final six contestants are heading next! Can Viola and Ruby's friendship survive? Or is Ruby well and truly with Gary now? The answers to all of these questions can only be found here on Total Drama World Tour!"
Ciana had woken up surprisingly early. The sun was barely creeping up over the clouds, giving First Class a very dim glow of light.
Feeling that going back to sleep wasn't worth it, Ciana stretched and sat up. She looked out the window and began to contemplate her thoughts on the game, everything that had happened to this point and what she had to do next.
It was the morning after Sylvain was eliminated and now she was in the final six. At this point Gary had the biggest target on him, no doubt about that. But that didn't mean he was necessarily the biggest threat. Viola and Dutch were physically on par with her, if not around the same level. She also knew Hayden was conniving and would take any opportunity to get ahead, she saw it herself in the first season. Lastly there was Johan, she felt about him the same way she felt about Sylvain: not exactly the biggest threat but someone to keep an eye on.
To her though, she had her eyes on the prize and she'd share it with Garret, who she hoped was recovering well.
Gary had to go down first though, he was the person who put Garret in that situation to begin with.
*confessional*
Ciana: I still plan on winning, no matter what, and the others are all focused on Gary to worry about me so I think I'm good for right now. Gary himself is about to catch these hands though! I still gotta pay him back for Garret! Best way to do that right now is let him know that he can't beat me, it'll psych him out and get that smug look off his face!
*end confessional*
The sun continued to rise as Hayden was the first of those in the Economy Class to wake up. He was silently seething with rage at Gary and his plan not going the way he had wanted.
Sylvain was never given the opportunity to give Hayden the journal entry they had swiped. He had planned on showing it to the others so they would have the evidence they needed to shut Gary down.
What's worse, he didn't hear from Sanctus at all last night. He was in Hayden's dream last night though, and he did say something... Or at least he tried to, Hayden couldn't hear whatever he was trying to say. However he did hear the monster say something along the lines of "prevent contact" which was something that did not sound good.
At the moment though, the most he could do was make sure Gary did not advance. He could tell the others about his journal entry too, but considering he no longer had the entry and things were still rather frosty between him and Viola as well as Dutch, it may not be worth it anymore.
One by one the othee contestants woke up, with Gary heading to get breakfast and the inhabited teens staying in Economy Class.
*confessionals*
Dutch: I know I probably sound like a broken record at this point, and I know I keep flip-flopping on my position on this but I keep doubting whether or not staying in the game is worth it. I mean during challenges I'm focused on surviving but I guess that's just my mentality of keeping track of what's going on in front of me. I don't know, maybe it's just the fact that Viola is with me that's convincing me to stay. But say I do win, what then? I literally died this season! Is a million dollars worth it?
Viola: Just four more contestants to go before Dutch and I make it to the finale. I've decided that he would be the best option to face in the finale since he wouldn't go easy on me while the end result still being beneficial for the both of us. I've noticed that he's been a bit distant emotionally though, the next chance I get, I need to make sure he's ok.
Hayden: I had a perfect plan set up! But no! Chris has to ruin it for what, ratings?! Ugh! I need another plan. Taking another journal entry won't work since Gary has either noticed a page missing from his journal or I'd get caught since I'm not as precise with my hands as Sylvain is and I'd get noticed. For now my only hope is making sure Gary gets last place in this next challenge. No doubt it's another sudden death challenge.
Gary: Hayden was acting strange khat the last elimination. He was trying to pass something to Sylvain or perhaps it was the other way around. I need to keep a very close eye on him today. If anything this will hopefully lead to him getting eliminated due to some form of cheating. Not that I haven't done anything like that, hehe...
Johan: Beul's hasn't said anything since last night. In fact, he pulled me into a dream and he looked really anxious. I couldn't hear what he was saying exactly but it ended with him kind of just... fading away... I haven't heard from him since but I'm sure he'll pop up again at some point. More importantly, Gary needs to be taken care of now. I've already accepted that I probably won't be winning in the end and I don't deserve to be in the final six, but he doesn't either and the most I can do right now for everyone Gary screwed over is take him down!
*end confessionals*
Of the four teens still in Economy Class, Dutch was the first to leave, as he silently headed into the direction of the cargo hold with Viola giving him a concerned look before she went to follow him.
Once the couple was gone, Hayden turned to Johan.
"Hey." Hayden began. Johan was about to respond before Hayden continued to speak. "I need your help."
"With what?" Johan asked hesitantly.
"We still have this Gary issue. We both want him gone, obviously. But while you've been trying tonget a grip on everything going on with these monsters, I've been trying to get rid of Gary. I can't keep doing this alone and Gary is guilty of everything! I know you may not believe me because of-"
"I believe you." Johan replied flatly. "Why would I not? We were still technically in an alliance together. You may not be a saint, Hayden, but Gary has played us both for fools and he almost killed my girlfriend!"
"Alright then, at least we're on the same page. But how can we go about this? My plan last night unfortunately didn't go so well."
"Plan?" Johan asked.
"Sylvain and I tried to take Gary down before Sylvain took the jump, let me explain the whole story..."
Meanwhile, Gary himself entered the airplane canteen, where Ciana was already eating. Ciana glared at Gary with pure malice while Gary looked indifferent, getting a plate for himself as he began to eat.
*confessionals*
Ciana: As much as I wanted to beat the absolute hell out of him, I had to hold back. Not because I couldn't beat him, but because I want to break him mentally first. I want him to know that he is absolutely screwed before I pound him!
Gary: If she knows what's good for her, she won't lay a finger on me. If Hayden somehow wins then I'm hoping to take out either Ciana or Dutch. Otherwise he's my next target.
*end confessionals*
Dutch sat on a crate in the cargo hold, looking into the mirror that he and the others used to communicate with the monsters. This time however, Dutch's reflection was the only thing staring back at him.
"Hey, are you alright?" Viola asked as she sat aside her boyfriend and held his hand.
"I've just been doing some thinking..." Dutch replied.
"About?"
"...About if staying in this game is worth it. When we started this game we were just playing the same way we always did. But we suddenly got pulled into a race against time where if we lose we're dead. We never asked for this!"
"I know..." Viola sighed before looking into Dutch's eyes. "But what else can we do now? Even if we didn't want this to happen, we have no other choice but to fight through this. Remember back in the first season, Hayden messed with your head and blackmailed you into working for him."
"Don't remind me, that was almost as bad as how I feel now."
"But Luis was there to talk to you, and things did eventually get sorted out."
"I think this is a bit different than back then." Dutch said flatly.
"You're right, things are different now. But what I'm getting at is the same; even when your back was against the wall you did everything you could to survive. The stakes may be higher now, but I want you to know that this time, you're not alone. You have more help now than you may think, and you have me."
Dutch smiled at his girlfriend's words. The couple shared a kiss and embraced as the intercom crackled to life.
"Attention final six, get ready for today's challenge."
Chef had landed the plane on a beach where it was very warm. The water was clear and a large coral reef was visible.
"G'day mates, and welcome to land down under! Or as its more formally known, Australia! This land is chock full of animals that could rip you to shreds in a matter of seconds, and originally I wanted our challenge to include some of them, but the network forced me to turn it down a bit, so we'll be doing the challenge I originally made." Chris explained. Chef and the interns pushed a large cart carrying a giant crate on it onto the beach, the three of them struggled to push it due to its weight.
Once the four of them brought the crate by Chris, the twins collapsed backwards into the sand from exhaustion while Chef and Ruby stood and panted.
"I don't... Get paid enough for this..." Chef wheezed as he handed Chris a crowbar, which Chris used to open the crate and reveal six miniature planes. The planes looked as though they were small enough to fly just one person, but large enough for them to have a fuel supply that was large enough to last.
"This challenge is rather straightforward, but by no means easy. Now aside from its deadly animals, another thing Australia is known for is the Great Barrier Reef, which is part of the challenge. Hidden in the coral are six keys which you'll have to find and bring back to the beach. The keys are for these miniature airplanes which you'll use to meet us at the finish line, which is located on Ayers Rock. Now don't worry, the planes may he small but these babies have enough gas to last for a good ten hours, more than enough time for you to reach the finish line. First one to make it to Ayers Rock in one piece wins immunity, last one there gets the boot. Now, there is one rule that I do want to mention. Throughout this season, we've been going to notable or national landmarks and you've done a wonderful job not damaging any of them, even if the majority of them are kinda hard to damage anyway. But the Great Barrier Reef is different. Because of the damage done to the ocean, coral reefs are beginning to die. I know I'm not one to really care about the environment, but please don't damage the coral reef!"
*confessionals*
Ruby: Alright, I do have to give Chris some points for asking to protect the coral reef, he even sounded genuine!
Amy: He probably only said that because the network told him to!
Sammy: I didn't think Chris would care about the environment like that.
Chef: I may think these kids are a bunch of sissies, but when it comes to hurting the planet, nuh-uh, that ain't something I like! Good to see Chris and the network cares!
Chris: The network did tell us prior to the season starting that we shouldn't damage any landmark we find, but I never mentioned it because it was a given and as much flak as I give these kids, they're smart enough to know not to do that. At least most of them are. Besides, I may be a proud jerk, but I'm not enough of a monster to actually want to damage the environment... Of course the network did sell Camp Wawanackwa after Total Drama Island ended amd we haven't heard much from the company we sold it too...
*end confessionals*
The teens changed into their bathing suits and readied themselves at the beach. Chef had prepared to fly the plane over to the finish line while Chris as ready to start the challenge, having handed the teens deep sea diving equipment and oxygen tanks.
"Alright, everyone ready?" Chris announced, with the sound of his air horn, the challenge had officially begun.
The six teens dove into the water, they couldn't help but look in awe at the coral reef and the multitude of colors and fish that surrounded it. After taking in the scenery, they swam towards the coral, finding holes that they could swim through to search within the coral.
Ciana tried moving as quickly as she could without damaging the ecosystem.
'How hard could it be to find a stupid key?!' She thought to herself. She saw Dutch swimming by with an indifferent expression on his face. Not wanting to give him an opportunity to find a key before she did, Ciana swam away, mentally urging herself to hurry.
Dutch himself didn't even seem to notice her, he looked around the coral and saw a small hole within it. He looked wifhin the hole and saw a sparkle from inside. Hesitantly, he reached in and felt something metallic. He then pulled out the object which was revealed to be a golden key. Dutch raised his eyebrows in surprise as he swam to the surface.
From another section of the reef, Johan swam around as he searched. If he wasn't competing in the challenge, he would have spent his time truly enjoying the scenery. He then noticed Hayden was swimming towards him.
"Johan, we have to hurry if we want to take down Gary!" He urged, however Johan simply stared back at him with a blank expression, tapping the part of his glass helmet where his ears were and shook his head as he shrugged. It took Hayden a moment to realize what was going on.
Hayden swam downward towarda the sand and used his finger to write out what he said, an annoyed look on his face. After reading the message, Johan nodded and gave Hayden a thumbs up.
The two boys swam away in search for a key, focusing on their rival, who had just gotten a key in a small alcove in the coral.
Gary grinned sinisterly as he swam upwards to the surface. Unaware of Viola watching him swim upwards.
The athlete hurried to find a key and came face to face with Ciana. The two slowly swam away from each other.
*confessionals*
Johan: As much as I want Gary gone, I still think Hayden is focusing on him a bit too much. Then again we are in the final six so maybe I ought to play smart too. I could always let those two take each other out since Hayden may very well just act like he did in the first season and just use me as some kind of puppet until the finale. But if I do that then I'd just be an easy target for the others since I'm not as strong as they are. For now I guess continuing to target Gary is the best play.
Hayden: How did I forget we can't really talk underwater? Whatever, Johan is still my safest ally against Gary. We need to hurry!
Ciana: I ain't gonna let them get ahead of me, even if I want Gary gone, I'm still trying to win.
Viola: I still can't let Ciana out of my sight. Regardless of my situation, she's still a major threat!
*end confessionals*
Dutch quickly hopped into one of the six planes and started it up, thankfully the controls were simple enough for the teens to operate so Dutch was quickly up in the air. Gary surfaced not too long after, being able to watch Dutch ascend.
"Oh no you don't!" Gary said to himself as he hopped into another plane. His plane ascended to the same altitude as Dutch, however the latter was still much further ahead than he was. In an attempt to take the lead, Gary put his plane in a nose dive to speed up and then pull back upwards to gain altitude to do it over again.
Dutch himself just focused on keeping the plane steady, unaware that Hayden was behind him.
"Congrats on making it this far, but for the sake of my entertainment, I think its time for a song!" Chris announced. He watched Dutch using a GPS and spoke to him with a wireless radio.
Dutch rolled his eyes but began to sing.
Song #40
Dutch: The good life is what I need.
Too many people stepping over me.
The only thing that's been on my mind.
Is the one thing I need before I die!
All I want...
Is a little of the good life!
All I need...
Is to have a good time!
Ohhhhhh...
The good life!
All I want...
Is a little of the good life!
All I need...
Is to have a good time!
The good life!
The good life...
I don't really know who I am...
It's time for me to take a stand...
I need a change and I need it fast...
I know that any day could be the last!
All I want...
Is a little of the good life!
All I need...
Is to have a good time!
Ohhhhhh...
The good life!
All I want...
Is a little of the good life!
All I need...
Is to have a good time!
The good life!
As Dutch sang, Gary caught up with him to the point where their planes' audio systems connected with each other...
Dutch: Hold on, hold on
I always wanted it this way!
Gary: You never wanted it this way!
Hold on, hold on
I always wanted it this way!
Dutch: I never wanted it this way!
Gary then edged ahead of Dutch before using his plane to bash Dutch's! The teen tried to remain steady, but one good hit from Gary damaged his plane's wing, causing it to slowly descend just as Ayers Rock was visible...
Gary: All I want...
Is a little of the good life!
All I need...
Is to have a good time!
The good life!
All I want...
Is a little of the good life!
All I need...
Is to have a good time!
The good life!
The good life!
Dutch's plane was quickly falling towards the ground, he searched the controls for something he could use when he spotted a red button behind a panel of glass. Dutch slammed his fist down on the button, which activated an ejector seat with a built in parachute. The plane itself smashed into the ground, had Dutch not escaped, his life would have definitely ended.
Dutch himself was able to float down onto the ground at the base of the rock. Angry and frightened about what had just happened.
"Sh*t! Sh*t! Sh*t!" He cursed as he paced around a bit. Left with no other option, Dutch began to climb the rock...
At the top of the monolith, Chris and Chef waited with the interns, who were suntanning. The host and pilot were sitting on lounge chairs drinking lemonade with a radio on a table close to Chris.
Gary's plane zeroed in and landed atop the rock, stopping right in front of the host. Ruby looked up in anticipation and squeed a bit when Gary jumped out of his plane.
"Congrats on being the first to arrive! First Class is all yours, Gary." Chris proclaimed.
"You're not gonna give him some kinda penalty?" Chef asked.
"I never said there were any rules against what Gary did. Dutch used the eject button and he's hopefully still alright. If he can climb up to the top, then he's safe." Chris explained.
"Well, I'm safe so that's all that matters." Gary said confidently as he headed for the jumbo jet. Ruby smiled as she followed him inside, the twins watched them go with a bit of a judgemental look from behind the sunglasses they wore.
"That guy is totally shady!" They both said simultaneously. "Jinx!" The twins shared a laugh together as they continued sunbathing.
*confessional*
Gary: First place, just as I deserve! All I need to do now is hope a major threat comes in last.
*end confessional*
Johan was the next person to find a key, though he seemed to be in a rush as he jumped into one of the remaining planes. He looked back at the water and saw Ciana run to a plane with a key in her hand with Viola and Hayden close behind.
Johan manages to get his plane started and up in the air by the time the others reached the last planes.
Despite the lead, Johan was still in a panic and prayed that the others wouldn't catch up. Ciana was right behind him, but either her plane had an issue with its engine, or Viola's plane had a stronger one, as the latter was quickly catching up to the former.
Ciana noticed Viola and Hayden both very close behind her. Thinking quickly, she cut in front of their paths in an attempt to make sure neither could pass her.
Dutch slowly continued climbing the monolith, he was tempted to look down to see how far he had progressed, but without any sort of support to help him keep balance, he didn't dare risk it.
"Hey Gojen, can you give me a hand here?" Dutch asked out loud. He continued climbing but didn't receive an answer.
"Hello...?" He asked. "Is this some kinda test you're trying to give me? Because this ain't the time!"
Dutch continued to be answered with silence. The realization that he was completely alone hit him, but despite the frustration, he continued to climb.
Dutch eventually found a part of the rock that jutted out several meters that was also solid enough for him to stand on. After climbing for so long, he took the moment to rest and try massaging his exhausted arms. As he was taking his break, he saw another plane heading in to land.
Now knowing he had no time to rest, Dutch picked himself up and resumed climbing.
The plane landed a bit uneasily but was able to come to a complete stop. Johan stepped out of the plane, looking a bit calmer now that he knew he was safe for the moment.
"Congrats on getting here Johan, you've come in second place." Chris said.
"Second?"
"Yup, Gary made it here first."
"Of course he did..." Johan scowled. He noticed the twins still sunbathing and decided he would talk to them, he didn't want to set foot in the jumbo jet at the moment.
*confessionals*
Johan: Despite that burro winning invincibility, I'm surprised I got second place. If I can keep this momentum, maybe I can actually win!
Dutch: Again, I can't believe I'm somehow still alive. What's sad is that I have to say that pretty much every say. But I guess I can't complain, especially since I don't have any supernatural help anymore... Heh, I wonder what V would say if she heard me complaining this much.
*end confessionals*
Ciana blocked any and every attempt Viola and Hayden took to get ahead of her, causing the two to grow increasingly more frustrated. The plane's radio then cracked to life.
"Hi Ciana!" Chris greeted in a cheerful tone that Ciana knew had a masochistic smile to go along with it.
"What do you want McLean?" She asked.
"Since you're doing such a good job in this challenge, I figured it was only fair to give you a reward!"
The music alarm went off in Ciana's plane, which prompted her to react accordingly.
"Also, since you three are pretty close to each other, the plane's radio signals cross with each other, so Viola and Hayden can hear me too. But this song will be just from Ciana."
"I hate you." Ciana groaned.
"I know!" Chris responded cheerfully.
Song #41
Ciana: Gotta make it, give me the survival...
Fight the powers that be, gotta get this
Reckless, gotta checklist when I wreck it
Think before you get in the way

As Ciana finished rapping, she could hear Chris clapping on the other ened of the audio system.
"Not bad Ciana, no wonder you became a rapper after the second season!" Chris noted, Ciana kept quiet, Chris didn't sound sarcastic so she would just take the compliment and move on. However, she didn't realize that as she was singing, Hayden had flown upwards and out of Ciana's view. Viola had also not been aware that Hayden moved either, with her focus simply on passing Ciana.
Ciana continued to block Viola's path, only causing the teen more frustration.
"Gonna cry?" Ciana taunted.
"You should know by now that I can't stand complaining." Viola replied. "Hayden, are you going to give me a hand here? ... Hayden?"
"Did he give up?" Ciana asked. "Smart move."
"You wish!" Hayden said, he flew downwards and overtook Ciana. The three were quickly coming up to Ayers Rock, with the two girls quickly trying to overtake Hayden and each other to get there first.
Despite the setback of his plane crashing, Dutch was able to climb very close to the top of the rock, he could hear the three planes quickly closing in. One of which soon came in to land...
"Hayden, your quick thinking and impressive flying has landed you in third place." Chris announced. Hayden saw Johan and headed over to him, judging by the look on his face, he could tell that Gary had already arrived.
Ciana's plane landed about a minute later, a sour look on her face after Hayden slipped past her.
"Fourth place." Chris said.
"Whatever." Ciana growled.
Viola's plane landed immediately after Ciana's, the young woman solemnly stepped out of the plane, disappointment on her face that was directed more at herself than anyone else.
"Viola... I'm sorry." Chris began.
"You don't have to say anything." Viola replied. "I know I lost."
"Fifth place."
"What?!" Viola asked in shock. "But who-"
"Hello?" Dutch asked as he finally managed to climb up to the top of Ayers Rock, collapsing from exhaustion and crawling over to Viola and Chris, with his girlfriend helping him up to his feet.
"That's why I said I was sorry. Dutch, as the last person to technically reach the finish line, you've officially lost."
"But why was he climbing in the first place?" Viola asked, her eyes beginning to tear up. She saw Gary out of the corner of her eye, leaning out if the door to the jet with a sly grin on his face. Her tears of sadness turned into tears of rage.
*confessionals*
Hayden: So Dutch is getting the boot, sad. But Gary is most likely the one who caused it. I don't think Johan has any grudge against Dutch.
Ciana: I'm cool with still being in the game but Hayden's going down for making me look bad! Once Gary is out of the way, he's next!
Viola: This should never have happened! Maybe if I had played harder I would have won! ... No, n-no I can't complain about this, it won't help with anything. I have a job to do, and I have to focus on it. Even if I am going to miss him a lot...
Dutch: I should be bummed out about losing but honestly, I'm kinda relieved too... Maybe this is for the best.
Gary: Another bug squashed. Now I think it's about time to cut off the last of the loose ends.
*end confessionals*
Gary and Ruby were snuggling in First Class, the jumbo jet now back in the air above Australia.
"So, where do you think the next challenge will be?" Ruby asked.
"Tough to say. We've practically been everywhere around the world at this point."
"Well wherever we go, I'm sure you'll win again!"
"Hopefully." Gary said as he rolled his eyes. "Hey, if it's not too much trouble, I think I left something in the cargo hold, do you think you could get it for me?"
"Oh, of course!" Ruby said as she got up with a smile.
Once Ruby was out of the room, Gary hurried over to the interns' room. He slowly opened the door just enough for him to see if it was empty and thankfully for him it was.
He entered the room, closing the door behind him, and began going through Ruby belongings. After about 2 minutes of searching, he found what he had been looking for: the same lipstick he had used on the bottle of Chris' alcohol...
That wasn't the only thing he took however, on one of the beds was a small pink object peeking out from under a pillow. Unable to resist, Gary rook the item which was revealed to be a diary.
Laughing to himself, Gary took the lipstick and diary and left the room, closing the door carefully behind him.
"Attention final six, its time for the elimination ceremony." Chris announced.
The six teens sat on the bleachers in the chamber while Chris had the parachute ready.
"Well, today was certainly an interesting day. But as they day ends, there is still business that must be addressed. Dutch, can you step forward please." Chris announced.
Dutch silently stepped forward, Viola held onto his hand with an upset look on her face.
"You played well Dutch, good enough to get to the final six at least. But it's time for you to go."
"Whatever." Dutch sighed. He and Viola turned to each other shared a kiss and a long embrace. "You can get everything done. I have faith in you."
Viola reluctantly let Dutch go, allowing him to jump out of the jet. Chris silently closed the door behind him.
"Now that that is said and done, you're free to leave."
The five remaining contestants exited the room, Gary kept a straight face but he couldn't be more happy on the inside. Viola began to weep but otherwise kept her composure. The other three teens glared at Gary as they went to their respective Classes, knowing that they still had to deal with this thorn in their sides.
"And so we're down to the final five! Can Viola keep herself together without her boyfriend? Will Johan be able to overcome the odds and win? Will Hayden ever be able to take Gary down? Find out on the next exciting episode of Total Drama World Tour!"
*confessionals*
Viola: I miss him already, but I owe it to him to see this through to the end and keep fighting. He trusts me and I trust him!
Hayden: Gary is still my main priority, no doubt he took out Dutch. Now Viola is emotionally messed up too! Ciana is my best bet at beating Gary in the next challenge and who knows if she'd be willing to work with me.
Gary: I think I'll make my next move in the morning, once this goes through the risk of the interns will be gone!
Johan: As messed up as this might sound, I'm a little relieved that Dutch is gone. Not just because he's a threat, this whole season has just been an insane mess and judging by his behavior the past few weeks, this may have been the best thing for him.
Ciana: I don't like Gary's attitude right now. He's too smug, and if I'm right then he's the one who made Dutch lose. Wiping that smug look off his face is gonna be so sweet!
*end confessionals*
And so we go down to the final five, who are you rooting for?:
Ciana, Gary, Hayden, Johan, or Viola?
