Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island: the campers were tasked with jumping off of the one thousand foot cliff into shark infested waters. While most of the campers completed the challenge, some were too chicken, haha. The Killer Bass won the first part of the challenge and got a sweet lead for the second part, building a hot tub. Colleen showed that she's more of an angry troll than a leader, and doesn't really show interest in helping her team, while Rolf proved that he's just useless. In the end, Rolf was eliminated for totally blowing the challenge for his team. Who will be the next contestant to prove to their team that they aren't worth keeping around? Find out tonight on Total. Drama. ISLAND!
The camera opens up on the island as Chris recalls the events from the previous episode. Showing most of the campers jumping off the cliff, but Veronica, Rolf, and Annalise refusing to. Then showing the Killer Bass make there way to the campgrounds with ease, thanks to their advantage from the first part of the challenge. It cuts to shots of Colleen trying to boss everybody around, followed by Rolf trying to push the crate on the beach by himself. Lastly, it cuts to Rolf being eliminated and walking the dock of shame before returning to Chris on the dock. It is then followed by the opening theme. After it ends, Chris walks up to the cabins and blares an air horn into a megaphone, waking up all the campers abruptly. Annalise sticks her head out the window with dreadful bedhead.
Annalise: What gives? I need my beauty sleep so I can win the pageant...I mean contest.
The campers walk outside to meet Chris who is looking as smug as ever.
Chris: I hope you are all ready for today, because your next challenge is gonna start in one minute.
Harriett: One minute?! That's not nearly enough time to prepare! Oh gosh, oh gosh.
Harriett (Confessional): I may have a teensy weensy fear of being under-prepared. I mean, I'm ready for anything! If there's something that I'm not ready for, that's bad news!
Chris: The lot of you are going to have to do a 20 kilometre run around that lake right there.
Percival: Only 20 kilometres? That's but a stroll! Anyone can do that after a nice morning meal.
Chris: Ah, but you won't be getting your breakfast until after you've completed your run.
The campers look ticked off as they walk to the starting line. Chris stands there looking at his watch.
Chris: Aaaaaaand go!
Many of the campers start running, except for Annalise who is calmly walking as if she were on a catwalk. A couple of minutes pass, and most of the campers are exhausted. Duke, Percival, Evander, and Harriett are leading the group while Annalise remains in dead last. Gene collapses onto the ground and is crawling towards everyone else.
Gene: Go on...without me...
Bobby walks by leisurely and helps Gene off the ground and the two continue towards the rest of the group. Some more time passes and most of the campers have arrived at the dining hall where they are waiting for the rest of their teams. Then, Bobby and Gene walk in, followed by Francis, and finally, Annalise. Colleen is watching them enter as she realizes what has just happened.
Colleen: Aha! Their team finished getting here after us! We win.
The Gophers think about it for a second, and then begin to cheer before they are interrupted by Chris nodding his head.
Chris: You would have won, if that were the challenge. But unfortunately for you, it's not!
Francis: Awww, then what is?
Chris pulls a string, revealing a buffet that Rolf would've probably blogged had he not been eliminated. The campers gasp in excitement after eating nothing but garbage for the past week and run to the food and begin chowing down.
Bobby (Confessional): It's gorgeous, I can't believe we've had such good food here this whole time...haha.
Francis (Confessional): Nobody can take my lunch money or lunch now! This is awesome!
After everyone has eaten probably way too much food for their own good and are on the floor moaning and groaning, Chris shows up again with his megaphone.
Chris: Alright, now the real challenge is gonna begin.
Claudia: What more could you possibly want from us? I've already eaten like a piglet, my mother would be ashamed of me.
Claudia (Confessional): And I love it! This is exactly the kind of excitement I've been longing for.
Chris: You're now going to be competing in the Awake-a-Thon! This is gonna be one of the easiest, if not the easiest challenge ever. The team with the last camper still awake will win invincibility for the night, and the team that loses will be eliminating someone tonight. And the challenge starts...now!
The campers walk out onto the campgrounds and try to keep awake, already exhausted after all that has happened. Some time passes and all of the campers are still left standing.
Chris: We're just now reaching the 18 hour mark and still, nobody has fallen asleep.
Just as he says that, the camera cuts to Percival who falls face first into the dirt and snores at an incredible volume.
Colleen: You cannot just fall...asleep...like...
Colleen also collapses and snoozes off at this point while the rest of their team gives them a tired glance. At this point, Wendell walks up to Annalise, who is exhausted, and pulls her aside.
Annalise: Heyyyyyy, no touching the temple!
Wendell: Now, now. I'm aware that we are on opposite teams, but I have a proposition for you. The big guy there-
He gestures to Josef.
Wendell: -is rather worrying for me, and probably you as well. You will probably be the first to fall asleep on your team, in fact, I have no doubt about that. Unless, you give him this.
He hands her a bottle of water that has clearly been tampered with.
Annalise: What's in this?
Wendell: Hmmm, sleeping pills, high grade. If he takes one sip, he'll fall asleep immediately. Once he's out, you'll be able to return to your beauty sleep with no repercussions. Ideally, for me, I'd like the two of us make it to the final, so I can't be having you drop out now. What do you say?
He holds out his hand to her, and though she is hesitant at first, she smirks and shakes it, giving birth to the Wendell-Annalise alliance.
Wendell (Confessional): Oh, and I do mean that, by the way. If me and her make it to the finale, there is no way I'll lose. Just smooth sailing from here on out. I'm sure Josef will catch onto my plan sooner or later, so he has to go.
Annalise walks over to Josef, who doesn't look tired at all.
Annalise: Hey, big guy! I'm grabbing water for everyone, want some?
She holds out the bottle to him, trying to make it look somewhat normal. He takes it, not believing that anyone on his team would ever sabotage him.
Josef: Thank you, Miss Universe.
He takes a swig of the water and immediately falls forward and passes out after, shocking Annalise.
Annalise (Confessional): I know that guy said these were high-grade, but geez.
The camera cuts to Lukas and Peggy, who're sitting next to each other near the campfire area.
Peggy: So, uh, where are you from?
Lukas writes his hometown's name on the dry erase board, but it's written so sloppily from the lack of sleep. He then falls asleep face first in her lap.
Peggy: Oh no, Lukas...I'll...
She falls backwards and starts snoozing as well. At this point, 8 members of the Gophers and the Bass are still awake. Some more time passes and Chris is seen in the center of the campfire area.
Chris: Attention campers! We've officially hit the 24 hour mark, which means that the challenge is probably gonna be over with soon. But to speed up that process, we're gonna read you some bedtime stories!
Chef comes out dressed up as a sheep with a small harp, getting a slight chuckle from some of the campers that are still awake before he growls at them. Chris begins to slowly read one of the boring stories from the book and some campers start to hallucinate from their exhaustion. Gene and Bobby both pass out from hearing the story, and Annalise is revealed to be sleeping cozily inside of a deluxe sleeping bag, leaving the Bass with 5 campers still awake. As for the Gophers, Evander knocks out on the ground and Leslie's energy finally runs out, causing her to sleep all curled up like a cat. After some more time passes, the 26 hour mark hits.
Lyle (Confessional): You know, I have had to stay awake for long periods of time in the wilderness before, so this wasn't a big deal to me. At least, I thought it wouldn't be.
The camera cuts to Lyle who is staring off at the lake before he falls asleep. Hellen walks up and points at him.
Hellen: Did you know that...
She passes out from exhaustion, leaving the Gophers with Wendell, Veronica, Roxy, and Francis. At this point, Elicia dances by, trying her best to keep awake.
Elicia: Come on guys...there's only four of them left...
Duke: Singy lady...there's only four of us left, too...the king is tired...
Harriett is slowly digging through her bag, trying to find something to help keep her awake, but she falls asleep with her head in her bag. The camera pans up into the sky as another 4 hours pass. The sun is out again and the seven campers still awake are exhausted to no end. some of the others have woken up, and were ushered to go to their cabins for failing the challenge.
Roxy (Confessional): I used to stay up late when I was a kid but 30 hours? That's when I tap out.
Roxy falls asleep as her three remaining teammates yawn.
Veronica (Confessional): Um...I've learned that I'm scared of so many things that I should probably just never sleep. I only fall asleep when I'm eventually forced to due to me being awake for several tens of hours...
Duke grabs his turnbuckle again and sets it up in the middle of the campfire are. He climbs on top of it and strikes a pose.
Duke: Everybody look at the Dukester...
He is about to do some crazy wrestling move, grabbing everyone's attention, but he instead falls off the turnbuckle and falls into a deep sleep, leaving only Elicia, Desiree, Francis, Veronica, and Wendell awake. Another 24 hours passes and the five are still awake, though the sleeping campers have all headed back to their cabins. Wendell falls asleep peacefully, keeping his intense and scary smile on his face. He is soon followed by Desiree, who has been reading Peggy's diary and finding all sorts of juicy tidbits. The camera cuts to Francis, who has been secluded in a corner trying to read the scripts of different movies to himself word for word.
Francis (Confessional): Honestly, I probably would've been okay to fall asleep at that point. Percival fell asleep first, so they wouldn't have kicked me off anyways.
He slowly dozes off in the corner, leaving just Elicia, who is still singing and dancing, trying to excite herself enough to stay awake, and Veronica, who doesn't seem bothered by any of what's been going on in the slightest. After another 3 hours passes, Chris seems pretty annoyed.
Chris: It has been over 50 hours since we started this thing and you two are still going! I like the determination, but come one! Don't you want to get some sleep?
Elicia stops dancing to answer Chris.
Elicia: Of course I do, but as long as I stay dancing-
With those words, Elicia passes out and Veronica is the only camper to stay awake during the entire thing. Chris walks over to her and she huddles up in a ball, spooked by being approached.
Chris: Uh...yeah. So I guess with that, the winner of the Awake-a-Thon is Veronica! The Gophers win the challenge!
Veronica looks around, shocked to see everybody asleep.
Veronica: Oh...haha, that's kinda...
She immediately falls asleep and snores louder than any of the other campers have. The camera cuts to the Bass, who are all still exhausted.
Josef: Ugh, I desperately need a bathroom break. All of you, keep on the lookout for death while I am gone.
He walks off to the bathrooms as Annalise sparks a devilish plan.
Annalise: Oh, teammates! You know, Josef was the first to fall asleep in that challenge! Obviously we have to vote somebody off tonight, and I don't see any reason as to why it should be me...I mean, all of us who worked so hard to stay awake! I mean, doesn't he also give off a really creepy vibe?
The others murmur to themselves, but end up agreeing with Annalise, especially Duke, who seems all for the idea.
Josef (Confessional): It was very strange. One moment, I am wide awake and ready for anything to come my way. The next, I am dead asleep. Maybe it had something to do with that drink that the Model gave me?
He inspects the bottle of water to see that it has been tampered with and is shocked and angered. He runs back over to his team and points at Annalise in rage.
Josef: You sabotaged me! You knew you were going to fall asleep before everyone else so you made me fall asleep first with this!
He grabs for the water bottle, only to discover that it is missing and his teammates seem even more creeped out than before. The camera cuts to Wendell in the confessional who has the bottle with him once again.
Gene: Uh...dude, there's nothing there. I think you need to get some more sleep.
Josef: No, I...
His teammates go back into the cabins and the camera cuts to Chris at the campfire ceremony with all of them sitting down on the stumps.
Chris: Bass, first time here, right? Well it's pretty simple. All of you have cast your votes. One of you will be getting eliminated tonight. When I call your name, you will come receive your marshmallow, indicating that you are still safe for now. If you don't get a marshmallow, you will have to return to the dock of shame to catch the boat of losers and you can never come back to the island. EVER. The first marshmallow goes to...Elicia.
As he starts calling names, the campers tiredly go and grab their marshmallows.
Chris: Desiree...Duke...Harriett...Lyle...Gene...Bobby...Lukas...and Peggy...
Only one marshmallow remains on the plate while Annalise sits smiling, sure that she is safe and Josef sulks before the name is even called.
Chris: There is only one marshmallow left...and it goes to...Annalise.
She happily grabs her marshmallow and returns to her team.
Chris: Josef, you got just a little to paranoid today, don't you think? The dock of shame is waiting.
Duke cheers as his rival slowly walks over to the boat of losers.
Wendell (Confessional): See, Josef was just too ready for something evil to show up. Unfortunately, that something was about eight steps ahead of him.
Annalise (Confessional): I don't really feel bad, I mean, he was pretty creepy. And I'm sure my team will do better without him anyways.
Josef gets on the boat as his team waves to him before he is sent off. The Bass then head back to their cabins, still exhausted from the challenge. The screen fades out.
