Chris: Last time on Total Drama Island: the teams performed several trust related challenges for our viewing pleasure. Leslie was super bummed about Evander getting the boot and Annalise showed the world her bloomers. I know, weird, right? Wendell was poisoned by Veronica and Gene and Harriett's relationship was poisoned by awkwardness. Lyle didn't even really perform in his part of the challenge and Duke failed to wreak havoc for the millionth time. After Francis cheered up Leslie, the two won the challenge for the Gophers and the Bass ended up sending Lyle home for giving the other team a free win. Tonight, things are going to get really intense, and I mean intense. Who will survive? Who will end up losing a chance at tabloid fame? Find out on this episode of Total. Drama. ISLAND!
The camera opens up on Chris sitting on the beach in a chair. It cuts to the teams hearing about the trust challenge before showing Leslie crying her eyes out. Annalise is shown getting her dress caught on nails and it tearing. Wendell is then shown seizing and vomiting from the blowfish that he ate. Gene and Harriett are seen awkwardly walking away from each other after he asked her to go out with him. Lyle is shown taking forever to even shoot the slingshot and annoying Harriett. Duke is seen trying to trick Peggy into jumping in the jellyfish water before she perfectly grabbed his hands. Finally, Francis and Leslie are seen winning the tiebreaker toboggan race and Lyle is shown walking the dock of shame. The camera cuts back to Chris, finishing his introduction before the opening plays. The camera opens up on Gene and Harriett sitting on the steps to the Bass cabin.
Gene: So, what's it like in Hawaii?
Harriett: Hot, most of the time at least. But the water is nice.
Gene: Gotta beat being in the freezing cold all the time, right?
Harriett: Well, there's also volcanoes and other dangers like tsunamis, so if that's your thing.
Gene rubs the back of his head awkwardly and kind of looks away. She chuckles and puts her arm around his neck before giving him a noogie.
Gene (Confessional): Harriett and I have been dating for the past few days. It's cool and all, but she has a weird way of doing things. Or maybe that's just how girls are? I wouldn't really know. My own mom stopped talking to me when I turned 16.
Harriett: So what do you think the next challenge is going to be?
Gene: I'm not sure? Maybe something to do with swimming?
Harriett shrugs as an unusual voice comes booming over the speakers.
Chef: Attention, you good for nothing campers! All of you, report to the dock of shame! The next challenge begins at 0900 hours!
The campers stand in confusion, except for Wendell, who is already on his way.
Chef: That means now, privates!
The campers hurry and run to the dock, lining up before Chef, who is in military getup. He walks past each and every one of them several times. He adjusts the posture of several of the campers with a stick and Percival rolls his eyes before leaning over to Francis.
Percival: This is just like Colleen all over again.
Chef gets in his face, scaring him slightly.
Chef: What did you say about me, soldier?
Percival: Nothing, sir!
Chef: That's what I thought. You will not speak, unless spoken to, and you will not eat, until I tell you to. Today's challenge is going to be grueling and painful. In fact, I expect less than half of you will make it out alive. I've been ordered to put you all through boot camp until only one of you is left standing. That person will win immunity for their team. Rule number one! You will address me only as Master Chief! Do you copy?
Everyone: Yes, Master Chief!
Francis (Confessional): Haha, just like in-
Chef: Rule number two! When you have given up because you're all big babies, you will walk to the end of the dock and ring the bell. And finally, rule number three! Each part of the challenge won't end until there is at least one quitter! Now get your sorry butts down to the beach! Now, now!
The campers run off of the dock towards the beach as Chef stares at them intensely.
Peggy (Confessional): Come on...I honestly kind of miss Chris at this point.
The campers are shown standing in front of two canoes, color coded for their teams, and Chef is standing on the opposite side of the canoes.
Chef: Each team will hold up one canoe above their heads! You will not take your hands off the canoe or you will be eliminated from the challenge! We do not eat until somebody drops out from this challenge! Start lifting now!
The two teams pick up their canoes and hold them above their heads.
Elicia: This isn't that bad.
Hellen: You're telling me. I could do this all day.
Some time passes and the sun is beating down on the campers. Chef and Chris are shown sitting on top of the canoes while the teams are weary and sweating like dogs.
Chef: Aw, can the babies not take a couple hours of labor?
Chris: I think they're starting to get hungry.
Chef: Well then, someone had better drop out quick!
Duke is about to take his hands off the canoe, but Harriett shoots a glare his way, and he grabs on tighter. The day fades to night and all the campers, hungry and exhausted are still holding their canoes. Elicia is humming a tune to herself while Annalise is growing more and more impatient with her.
Annalise (Confessional): The theater kid has got to go! I have had enough with the early morning wake-up calls, the dancing in the middle of the night, all of it! It's really killing my beauty sleep.
Annalise trips Elicia with her foot quickly, only being noticed by Wendell, who seems shocked.
Chef: Looks like someone is tapping out early! Better run over to that bell and ring it before your team wrings your-
Elicia: Ok, ok! You don't have to be so mean...
Peggy giggles a little before Harriett looks at her somewhat angrily, making her stop. She walks off to the dock, teary-eyed, and rings the bell.
Wendell (Confessional): Annalise is getting a lot more crafty than she used to be. I like it, but it's dangerous for me. I'll have to figure out how to get rid of her soon before she gets me booted off.
Chef: Alright maggots! You can head to the main lodge! Dinner is served.
The campers run to the main lodge and stand before all the garbage cans. Chef and Chris open the garbage cans and Leslie peeks inside, reeling back in disgust.
Leslie: This is just garbage, Master Chief.
Chef: That is correct, little one! When you're on the battlefield, you take what you can get! No picky eating! Better eat what you can now, night training starts in one hour!
The campers groan and some start to eat from the garbage cans, though Annalise and Percival refuse.
Chris: Looks pretty good here to me. I'm going over to craft services, you coming with?
Chef: Mm-hm.
The two walk out and the campers watch, wishing they could go to craft services. After some time, Chef is shown dancing on the beach to some banging music. The campers try their best to keep up with his moves, but they are just too funky to handle for some of them. Hellen and Peggy walk off to the dock and each ring the bell as Chef stares at them in disappointment. He stops the music and starts leading the other campers to the main lodge for the next part of the challenge, but Veronica seems to be in a trance, and continues to dance. Chef gets in her face and screams at her.
Chef: You are supposed to be following the leader! Now drop and give me twenty!
Veronica jumps in fear before starting to do push-ups really quickly.
Veronica (Confessional): I'm not scared of him anymore...at least not as much as I used to be. He still gives me the spooks sometimes, you know?
The camera cuts to the campers sitting at tables in the main lodge. Chef stands in between the tables and drops paper and pens in front of everyone.
Chef: For the next part of the challenge, you'll be completing a 300 word essay about how much you love me. If anybody falls asleep or falls short of 300 words, you will be eliminated! You have two hours, starting now!
The campers start to write words on their paper, but time flies very fast. The timer dings.
Chef: Pencils down! Let's see what you babies wrote!
Chef grabs the papers from everyone except for Percival and Duke, who are sound asleep. He starts to read them before he shakes his head, disappointed.
Chef: You two are eliminated! The rest of you suckups, go to bed and be up at 0500 hours! This challenge will continue then!
Gene groans loudly and Chef turns to him, furious.
Chef: Did you say something, boy?
Gene: No, Sir Master Chief Hatchet, Sir!
Chef nods and walks out of the building, causing Gene to sigh and wipe his brow in relief. The camera cuts to A dangerous looking obstacle course as Chef explains this part of the challenge to the remaining campers.
Chef: You will all run this obstacle course until one of you quits or all of you can complete it in under a minute! I want you all on your feet now! Go, go!
The campers start to go through the course. The Bass seemingly have no trouble with climbing the rock wall, but Francis can't seem to get over it until Wendell forces him over very roughly. Some are seen crawling in mud underneath swinging axes and Harriett gets stuck in the mud. Gene tugs her out and they keep going. Annalise jumps through the tire gracefully, but when Veronica tries to, she hits her head on it and falls backwards as the rest of her team advances. She twists her ankle in the process and sits in pain.
Chef: Get on your feet and ring that bell, you're finished.
Veronica hops away shamefully as her team looks at her sympathetically. Gene then gets himself stuck in the tire and, unable to get out by himself, is shoved out by Harriett before he is sent to the dock of shame to ring the bell as well.
Chef: All of you are shameful examples of soldiers! I could not be more disappointed in you!
Wendell: Like we needed the approval of a camp cook anyway.
Chef: What did you say to me, boy?
Wendell: That you're a lowlife stuck here on this crappy island trying to make random teenagers miserable because you can't seem to find any happiness in what you do anymore. Did I hit the nail on that one?
Chef seethes with rage as the remaining campers gasp. Wendell smirks at his own insult.
Chef: 24 hour solitary confinement in the boathouse, now!
Wendell: Whoop-dee-do! I get to spend time alone! See you later, doofus.
The camera cuts to Wendell sitting alone in the dark boathouse, surrounded by fishing equipment. He shrugs and starts using a hook to whittle away at a piece of wood. The rest of the campers are shown sitting in the main lodge, eating. Annalise slowly sneaks out, unnoticed, and goes to the boathouse, where she finds Wendell, unbothered by what's happening.
Annalise: How are you supposed to go through with this big plan of yours to get use both to the finale if you're going to get yourself locked away for an entire day, huh?
Wendell: Oh, relax, would you? This gives me time to think about the bigger picture and figure out who I want out next. For example, I was thinking Harriett would be a good elimination, since she's so great at seemingly everything.
Annalise: Maybe next time my team loses, but tonight, I'm getting rid of the obnoxious Elicia. I can't take her dreadful singing anymore.
Wendell: I insist you listen to my plan. Elicia isn't anything special. Harriett is. We get rid of the better competitors to make things easier for us.
Annalise: Oh, whatever. I'm getting her eliminated and that's that!
Annalise storms off and Wendell looks extremely disappointed.
Wendell (Confessional): She's really throwing away her chance at the million. Whatever, see if I care. I don't even like her.
Annalise is then shown passing by the host tent and, out of curiosity, peers inside. She sees Chef and Chris with their backs turned, and a fridge. She sneakily walks to the fridge, and looks inside. She grabs all of the fancy cheeses she can find and runs out of the tent, snickering to herself.
Annalise (Confessional): This is amazing! Why would they hide such delicacies from us?
While Annalise sneaks behind her cabin and starts eating them alone. Elicia sees her from the window and calls Harriett and Peggy over. Harriett then opens the window.
Harriett: Hey, beauty queen. Whatcha got there?
Annalise jumps from the sudden interruption and hides the cheese behind her back.
Annalise: Oh, nothing! Haha! Don't mind me, just eating some of the leftover garbage from dinner!
She runs to the confessional, and is shown eating inside it. Harriett shrugs and closes the window.
Harriett: That girl sure is strange.
Elicia: You're telling me. I'm starting to think she doesn't even like my singing and dancing.
Peggy: Oh, no...who could ever think ill of your incessant routine.
Elicia: What's incessant mean?
Harriett: It means great! Right, Peggy?
Peggy: Sure, why not.
Elicia looks at the two suspicious of some tomfoolery, but then walks off forgetting about it. Harriett looks over at Peggy, sternly.
Harriett: What's your problem? I thought you two were friends.
Peggy: We are, but I can only take so much of it. It gets really annoying after a while.
Harriett: You still shouldn't say stuff like that to her face! Whatever, I'm going to bed.
Harriett jumps in her bunk and tucks herself in and Peggy sits on hers and rolls her eyes. The night fades to day and the remaining participants, Annalise, Harriett, Leslie, and Francis, appear before Chef who is standing in front of a large tree.
Chef: This is the last part of your training! You will all hang on these tree branches upside down until only one team remains! When one of you eventually loses the challenge, your team will eliminate someone! Do I make myself clear?
Annalise, Harriett, Francis, and Leslie: Yes, Master Chief!
Chef blows a whistle and the four climb into the tree. Francis and Leslie hang right next to each other while Annalise and Harriett are on separate branches. Francis looks over to see Annalise already woozy, but Harriett seemingly fine.
Francis (Confessional): Harriett is honestly some serious competition! She's been winning challenges for her team since the first time! I don't know if we'll be able to make it through this one.
Leslie: Hey, Francis! Watch this!
Leslie stops using her arms to hold on and instead puts them beside her head, still managing to stay on the branch. Francis looks shocked.
Francis: Woah! That's neat, how can you do that?
While the two chat, Annalise's stomach rumbles violently, gaining everyone's attention.
Annalise (Confessional): I think I had too much cheese...
She gags and then vomits all over the ground before falling into a puddle of her own puke and then vomiting on the other campers, who are watching from the sidelines. Percival then vomits and the others struggle to hold it together. Francis cringes at this and unintentionally loses his grip before falling onto his rear on the ground.
Leslie: Oh, no! Don't worry, I got this!
Harriett is still not showing any sign of letting go as some more time passes while her competition is growing tired. Wendell sneaks out from behind a bush and sets a firecracker off right behind Chef's head, causing him to squeal like a girl and run into the tree before knocking himself out. Him doing this shakes the tree and Harriett loses her grip and falls on top of Chef, waking him up. He pushes her off and looks up to see a tired Leslie finally jump out of the tree.
Chef: That's it! Challenge over! The Gopher's win!
The other Gopher's cheer for her as Chef salutes her and she salutes back.
Chef: Make me proud out there soldier, make me proud.
Leslie: Will do, Master Chief!
She joins the others as Chef's eyes well up with tears of joy from Leslie's accomplishments. Wendell snickers as Harriett notices him and glares intensely, causing him to back away and hide behind his team.
Harriett (Confessional): That little weasel, I oughtta...
Wendell (Confessional): Scared of Harriett? Don't make me laugh! ...She's not around here, is she?
The camera cuts to the campfire where the remaining Killer Bass are seated. Chef stands behind them as Chris approaches with 5 marshmallows.
Chris: Alright folks, you know the dealio! Here, I have 5 marshmallows, one for each of you who will continue to compete in the contest! The one of you who doesn't get one of these sweet treats will have to walk the dock of shame, catch the boat of losers, and never return to the island. Ever! The first one goes to...Harriett!
Harriett runs to get her marshmallow before putting it in her pack, causing some confusion from the other campers.
Chris: Gene...Duke...and Annalise!
Peggy and Elicia look between each other, realizing that one of the two of them is going to lose. Peggy gulps and Elicia bites her fingernails.
Chris: The last marshmallow goes to...
The music starts to get really intense as Annalise grins smugly at Elicia and Harriett looks disapprovingly at Peggy.
Chris: ...Peggy.
Peggy sighs in relief and goes to get her marshmallow as Elicia's jaw drops. Harriett and Gene appear confused as well.
Gene: Chris, that doesn't make sense, man! You gotta recount it.
Chris: No can do, besides, we saw the votes. It was a pretty clear outcome.
Elicia sadly gets up and cries all the way to the boat of losers.
Elicia: Vote me off, why don't ya! See if I care, I don't need this show anyways!
The boat takes her off to the dock of shame and Duke approaches Harriett and Gene.
Harriett: Duke, you were supposed to vote for Peggy tonight, what happened?
Duke: I did vote for her, way to assume the champ would go back on his word like that.
Gene: But that doesn't make any sense! How could she make it if the four of us voted her off?
The camera cuts to Annalise breaking into the vote box inside the confessional, and switching the votes.
Annalise: Take that, you drama freak!
Annalise smugly walks back to the cabins as Wendell, who watched the entire ceremony, watches her from afar.
Wendell (Confessional): Yeah, really clever. Even I wouldn't think to mess with the votes like that...I'll have to be extra careful around her.
The camera fades to black.
Votes:
Elicia - Annalise, Annalise, Annalise, Annalise, Annalise, Peggy
Peggy (Removed) - Harriett, Duke, Gene, Elicia
