Author's Note:
Well, I'm back again with another chapter. As usual, we got the review replies and credits to get through.
AnnoyingAlarmClock: Yeah, the whole mind control thing felt kind of a cheat, especially for a character like Yves.
Candela Monsoon: The Aftermath is definitely a chance to reveal some stuff about the characters that I couldn't show in the regular season. So you'll be seeing stuff revealed in the next Aftermath.
Fantasy Lord 77: Yves's elimination definitely throws a wrench into everyone's guesses I'm predicting. I don't think anyone saw her eliminated this early until I teased a major player was going home.
Tempokeep: I'm also really excited for the Kaia and Deedee alliance. It's probably going to be one of the most interesting character interactions that I'll write.
Squirtysong: Interesting predictions. Let's see if you're right.
xxPrincxssxx: Fang is also one of my favorite characters to write in these stories. If you're interested, I've got another Total Drama Fanfic that I work on occasionally that's inspired by Jaws and features Fang as the main antagonist. I don't have a lot of it done right now (only two chapters at the moment), but if you like Fang, I recommend you keep an eye on it for updates.

EPISODE TEN: PAINT THE TOWN
This episode of Total Drama contains scenes of extreme stunts performed by animated teens. Do not try anything you see here at home. Seriously, you could get really messed up.
Chris stood in front of Chef's Restaurant. "Last time on Total Drama," he began, "The teams had a ball in our water polo challenge (clip of Charlie throwing the ball at a goal), though some were 'shocked' at how hard the challenge would be (clip of Sarah getting shocked by the ball). Kaia and Deedee formed an alliance to take Rita down (clip of Kaia and Deedee forming their alliance), while Hunter fully convinced Sarah that Charlie and Alex were plotting to eliminate her (clip of Hunter talking to Sarah). The Rats did their best to try to win, but as usual failed (clip of the Rats getting eliminated from the challenge) due to a certain mutant shark continuously chasing Nicole (clip of Nicole getting chased by Fang). But, thanks to some inter team sabotaging from Rita (clips of Rita activating her traps and Yves getting blasted by a geyser), the Rats survived elimination, while the Slickers claimed victory (clip of the Slickers winning). The Pandas were sent to elimination, and thanks to her bossiness and her failed plan (clip of Yves lecturing her team), it was Yves who ended up getting the boot (clip of Yves's elimination)"
The scene returned to Chris. "We're down to twenty-two campers remaining," he said. "After tonight, that number will be twenty-one. Who will make the cut, and who will feel crushing defeat? Find out right here on Total! Drama! City!"
*Intro*
(As the intro music begins to play, cameras are seen popping out of a skyscraper window, a manhole, a streetlamp, and a trashcan. The clapper claps.)
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doing fine
(Chris is seen driving by in a sports car as the camera goes down a runway)
You guys are on my mind
(the camera pans into a building and off a diving board into an indoor swimming pool)
You asked me what I wanted to be, now I think the answer's plain to see
(In the water, Sarah is swimming gracefully as spikes are shooting past her. The camera pans to the surface, where Jared is sitting in a rubber raft with Maeve. The spikes puncture the raft and the two begin to sink. The camera quickly moves outside, where Otis and Tara are working on a generator together.)
I wanna be famous
(The camera pans over to the side, where Todd and Rita are working on an experiment. Todd pours a liquid into a beaker, which explodes and coats both him and Rita in ash, while Yves watches disapprovingly from a shadowy room in a nearby building)
I wanna live close to the sun
(Harmony is seen in a park meditating, unaware of Zander performing a magic trick right in front of her, though his trick is interrupted when a raccoon jumps out of his magic had and latches onto his face)
Well pack your bags cause I've already won
(Charlie and Lana are side by side practicing the same ninja fighting moves as William and Nicole kiss next to them)
Everything to prove nothing in my way
(Malik is running at top speed away from a flamethrower wielding Deedee. As he is running, he is caught in a trap that yanks him up to the top of a small building, where Hunter is waiting with a knife. Kaia stands disapprovingly behind him)
I'll get there one day
(The scene pans into a kitchen, where Logan is photographing a pot of mysterious food. Clover appears behind him, shocking him, but Chef then appears behind Clover and chases the two out of the kitchen)
Cause I wanna be famous
(At a table just outside the kitchen, Theresa is focused on her writing while Tim is next to her typing on a laptop. A spotlight drops on the table, causing both to jump in surprise)
Nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah nah
(In an alley, Hannah battles back against Sara, who is trying to pummel here with fists covered with boxing gloves)
I wanna be. I wanna be. I wanna be famous.
(On a street, Desmond and Moira are both in go karts, trying to knock each other off the road. Alex skates in between them both while Lance tries to catch up to her on a motorcycle)
I wanna be. I wanna be. I wanna be famous.
(The scene pans to a stage, where Sonya is playing her electric guitar and singing along to the lyrics into a microphone. The scene pans back to show it was on a monitor)
*whistling the main theme*
(The scene pans down, where Nigel is seen showing a clearly impressed Erin a collection of watches under his jacket. The scene zooms out to show the rest of the cast, with Chris off to the side. Sonya plays the last guitar rift of the theme song on her electric guitar)
It was still night in the city. Over at the lab, Rita was busy working on something that was sparking with electricity. "And with a little bit more of Chemical X," she said, adding a mysterious liquid to a beaker. "Add 50,000 volts…" She grabbed two jumper cables and attached them to the beaker. She then walked to a switch and flipped it up.
There was a massive flash of electricity as the contents in the beaker sparked and sizzled, eventually turning into the mind control serum.
"Success!" Rita yelled, cackling.
Outside the lab, Kaia had her ear to the door. "What are you up to," she muttered.
CONFESSIONAL
"Rita needs to go," Kaia said. "She's totally stealing my thunder here. I can't do my thing of turning these people against one another while she's doing the same thing." She paused. "Plus, I'm suspicious of what she's actually doing with her experiments."
END CONFESSIONAL
Suddenly, Kaia saw a flash of movement in the shadows. Frowning, she looked over, but didn't see anything.
"It must have been my imagin—" she started to say. But then a shadowy figure hit her over the head, knocking her out.
When Kaia woke up, the sun was out.
"Fell asleep in an alley?" Rita said, standing over her with a sly smirk. "Not exactly professional of you."
"How-what—" Kaia jumped to her feet. "I know that was you!"
"What was me? I've been in the lab all night. You must be imagining things." Rita confidently walked away while Kaia fumed.
Elsewhere, Logan closed a camera that was hidden in a trash can. "And…done," he said. He turned around and screamed when he saw Clover standing behind him.
"You know, Chris probably won't be happy if he catches you messing with his cameras," he said.
"I-ah—stop stalking me!" Logan yelled.
"I'm not intentionally stalking you," Clover protested. "I just happened to see you messing with that camera and wondered what you're up to."
"And, like I told you before, it's none of your business," Logan snapped, walking away.
Clover frowned at him, and then looked at the camera in the trashcan.
CONFESSIONAL
"What is that detective up to?" Clover wondered. "This is the second time I've caught him messing with the cameras. What could he want from them?"
END CONFESSIONAL
CONFESSIONAL
"What, you think I'm going to tell you what I'm doing?" Logan asked. "Sorry. These confessionals may not be secure."
END CONFESSIONAL
"So they're seriously still trying to eliminate me," Sarah complained to Maeve as she stuffed a forkful of pancakes into her mouth. "I mean, who do they think they are?"
"Are you sure they're planning on eliminating you?" Maeve asked.
"Hunter said that they were."
"And is Hunter trustworthy?"
"Well…uh…"
Maeve sighed. "Look, unless you personally heard Charlie and Alex plotting to eliminate you, I wouldn't believe it. Remember, this is Total Drama. Everyone always wants to get ahead of everyone else."
"So, you're saying that Hunter's tricking me?"
"That's a distinct possibility."
Sarah clenched her fork in anger. "I can't believe I fell for that!" Then she frowned. "Say…don't I know you from somewhere, Maeve?"
Maeve's eyes shifted nervously. "Uh, no. No. You definitely don't."
Just then, the intercom squealed. "Challenge time!" Chris announced. "Everyone meet me at the Colorless District of the city. That is all."
The remaining contestants all arrived at the Colorless District to find a massive stretch of buildings and roads, all painted white.
"I guess we know why he calls this the Colorless District," Nicole commented.
"But where is he?" Todd asked.
Suddenly, from above, the cast heard the whirling of a helicopter. Everyone looked up to see a helicopter flying overhead. Suddenly, a bomb dropped from the vehicle.
"Hit the deck!" Charlie yelled as everyone dove for cover. The bomb hit the ground and exploded in a shower of red paint.
Erin first emerged from behind a crate. "Hey…I'm okay!" she yelled. Then she turned and saw Moira, who had hidden next to her, covered in red paint.
"Oh."
"Raspberries," Moira muttered.
The other cast members emerged from their hiding spots, some also covered in red paint.
The helicopter landed in the road and Chris jumped out. "Hello, campers," he said. "Or should I say, painters?"
"This does not bode well for today's challenge," Otis said, wiping a splatter of paint off him.
"Don't worry. This is an easy one," Chris said. "All you have to do work with your team to paint the entire Colorless District your team's assigned color. The team that has the most of their color painted on the city wins invincibility, while the team with the least amount of their color painted in the city sends someone home."
"Furthermore," Chris went on. "You will also get paintball guns to eliminate members of the other team. If you're hit by paint from another team, you're out."
CONFESSIONAL
"We have to keep our winning streak going," Charlie proclaimed. "The longer we win, the more competition gets eliminated. If we're lucky, the Pandas will lose, and they'll finally kick out Kaia. I'm almost certain she's behind Yves getting kicked off."
END CONFESSIONAL
"And now, for the team colors and supplies Chris said as Chef drove up on his jeep, a trailer filled with paint cans and boxes of painting equipment. "Bright orange and paint sprayers for the Slickers, Dark brown and paint rollers for the Rats, and black and paint brushes for the Pandas."
"Hey! Why don't we get better things to paint with?" William complained.
"Sorry. The better tools are for winners," Chris told him with a laugh. "However, all the teams will be getting the same paintball guns to shoot at each other with." Chef passed out all the tool and paintball guns to everyone.
"You all have two minutes to spread yourselves out around the district," Chris told them. "And then it's game on!"
"This is so bogus," Erin grumbled as she walked with his team through the area. "How are we supposed to win with paint brushes?"
"Don't think like that, lass," Moira told him. "We have as good of a shot as anyone."
CONFESSIONAL
"These new guys keep complaining when we get disadvantages," Moira said. "But this is Total Drama. If there's one thing I've learned on this show, it's that sometimes even the team that has the clear disadvantage can still come back and win the whole thing."
END CONFESSIONAL
"So, how are we going to win this?" Todd asked. "We've got paintbrushes up against everyone else's rollers and sprayers."
"I might have a solution," Rita spoke up.
"Then by all means, tell us what you have in mind," Hannah told her.
"If you guys can get started with the challenge, I could run back to my lab quickly and get some tools to make a super painter that will allow us to paint at a faster rate," Rita explained.
"Do it," Moira told her. "But can you also bring some sort of heat blaster?"
"What do we need that for?" Erin asked.
"Just playing a hunch," Moira told her. "Wet paint tends to mix, and I don't want to be the team that ends up with an area that's not our color."
"But if we dry the paint quickly with heat, then we can just paint over the other teams' colors without any chance of mixing," Rita realized. "Good thinking."
CONFESSIONAL
"Maybe a little too good thinking," Rita muttered.
END CONFESSIONAL
As Rita ran off towards her lab, the intercoms blared. "Time to start painting!" Chris announced. "You have one hour, or until there's only one team left standing."
"All right team!" Sara ordered, cocking her paintball gun. "Logan, Nicole, Lance, and Deedee; you guys work on painting. Clover, Desmond, and I will focus on eliminating the other teams."
"Yeah!" Desmond agreed, shooting a look at Sara. "What she said."
CONFESSIONAL
"Is it my imagination, or does it feel like Sara's taking more control of the team than I am?" Desmond asked.
END CONFESSIONAL
CONFESSIONAL
"I have to start getting more control," Sara explained. "It's only a matter of time before Desmond tries to double cross me and vote me off. So I have to make more friends than he does, or it'll be my butt going home."
END CONFESSIONAL
As Clover, Desmond, and Sara ran off, the other four Rats began dipping their rollers into their paint cans and started painting everything in sight.
"Something tells me that these clothes will never be clean again," Nicole commented, looking down at her pants, which were already stained with brown paint.
Over with the Slickers, the team was easily spraying the district at a much quicker pace with their paint sprayers.
"This is going to be easy," Sarah declared.
"Unless you jinx it by saying things like that," Maeve told her sternly. "Just be quiet and focus on the challenge."
CONFESSIONAL
"Okay, I could swear I've seen Maeve before," Sarah commented. "I just can't put my finger on it."
END CONFESSIONAL
"You guys keep at it," Charlie said, putting down his pain spraying and grabbing his paintball gun. "I'm going hunting."
"Oh no you're not," Hunter told him, doing the same. "I'm the best hunter in the world. I'll do the fighting."
"Do you think I'm going to let you go off alone?" Charlie asked him.
"I think I'll do whatever I please, and you can just deal with it, ninja boy."
Charlie clenched his fists in rage.
"Uh, how about we all just take a deep breath," Alex suggested. "You guys can both go whittle down the competition if you want."
The two boys stared daggers at each other, but eventually went off together.
CONFESSIONAL
"Charlie and Hunter are both trying to play the alpha male card here," Alex noted. "It's amusing but distracting from challenges. One of them needs to go. And that someone is Hunter."
END CONFESSIONAL
Meanwhile, the Pandas were all painting various things in their area with their tiny brushes.
Kaia sighed. "Rita better hurry up with her little science experiment, or we're going to lose again."
Suddenly, there came a loud mechanical clanking. The team all looked up to see a car sized mechanical spider bot, with Kaia sitting on top of it.
"Behold!" she yelled. "The Paint Bot 300. Just stick your brushes in the slots around the mech's body, load up all the paint in the tubes above the brushes, and I'll do the rest."
"Woah," Erin breathed.
CONFESSIONAL
"I have to admit, despite her being evil and potentially sadistic, Rita does have some style," Kaia commented. "She's still going down though."
END CONFESSIONAL
Everyone stuck their brushes in the holes running along the spider mech's body. William then filled tubes above the brushes with paint so the paint could drip down onto the brushes.
"What about the heat blasters?" Moira asked.
Rita tossed two metal tubes down to Moira and Todd. "Only use these on painted section from the enemy teams," she warned.
"Aye, lass," Moira replied.
"Now then," Rita said, cracking her knuckles and pulling a lever on her mech. "Let's get down to business."
Chris watched all this from a computer monitor. "Looks like the Pandas have found a mechanical way to do the job," he commented. "But will it be enough to take the victory? Stay tuned to find out right here on Total! Drama! City!"
Logan sighed as he rolled his paint roller over a street sign. "This is by far the lamest challenge yet," he said.
"Nay, my friend. Let us not focus on the means of the challenge and focus on winning," Lance suggested.
Logan grumbled as he dipped his paint roller into the paint. "I really hope that our attack group is doing what their supposed to do. I have a nasty feeling that we're about to be ambushed."
"Just keep painting," Nicole ordered as she stood guard with her paintball gun.
"Aren't you supposed to painting too?" Logan asked.
"Someone has to stand guard," Nicole replied, "We don't want to be taken by surprise."
As she spoke, several paintballs flew through the air, nearly hitting Logan and hitting the wall behind him.
Nicole instantly raised her paintball gun and pointed it at the attacker, who happened to be Erin. Before she could react, Nicole unloaded dozens of paintballs, splattering her with paint.
"Ow…" she groaned before collapsing.
"See?" Nicole told Logan and Lance. "Standing guard."
Hunter examined the recently painted black wall. "The Pandas were here," he said. "Not too long ago."
"Gee, how ever could I have guessed?" Charlie muttered sarcastically.
"If you had any sort of brain, you'd know that they've clearly got some faster way of painting," Hunter told him. "Look. The whole block is painted. No way they could've done this with just paint brushes."
"Yes, yes, they're clearly using some sort of mechanical device most likely created by Rita," Charlie replied. "Anyone can see that."
Hunter clenched his fists in annoyance. "What is your problem, ninja boy?"
"My problem is that I don't trust you," Charlie told him. "I know just what you're about. And you're going down."
Hunter growled softly. "Let's get one thing straight, Charles," he said slowly. "This is no longer your game. It's mine. I'm the greatest hunter in the world. And you all are the prey. You will all fall one by one, until the greatest prize in all reality shows is mine."
Charlie stood firm. "Not if I take you down first."
Hunter smirked. "Go ahead and try, you little—"
Suddenly, the two were pelted by paintballs shot by Desmond and Sara, who high fived after taking the two strong players down.
CONFESSIONAL
"I've been wanting to pelt Charlie with paintballs for so long," Desmond said with a triumphant grin on his face.
END CONFESSIONAL
Maeve groaned as she hefted her pain sprayer. "Who ever thought that these big paint sprayers weighed so much," she commented.
"Suck it up and keep spraying," Alex ordered.
Sarah was also struggling with her sprayer. "I'm with Maeve on this one. These things weigh a ton. There's got to be a better—"
She was so busy spraying the surrounding houses that she didn't see the open manhole in front of her until she was already stepping in it. She fell into the sewer with a scream.
Otis ran to the manhole. "You okay, Sarah?"
"Fine!" her voice echoed. "As long as there aren't any alligators down here."
"That's just an urban myth!" Nigel yelled down.
CONFESSIONAL
"Not on this show," Chris commented with a laugh.
END CONFESSIONAL
"Just find a way up in another part of the area!" Otis called down. "Continue painting!"
"Let's get back to work," Alex said. "We've got a lot of painting to do, and time's running out."
Suddenly, a paintball fired and hit Alex on the shoulder. "Gah!" she yelled, whirling around to see Clover swinging from a lamppost and up onto the roof of a small house.
"Get her!" Maeve yelled as she, Otis, Nigel, and Sonya fired on Clover, missing every time.
"I'll take her out!" Sonya declared, running after Clover and climbing up the house to pursue.
"Wait!" Alex yelled. "Focus on the challenge!"
But everyone was already following Sonya's lead as they ran after her and Clover on the streets.
Alex groaned before walking off, out of the competition.
"Hello?!" Sarah called, still down in the sewer below. "Guys?"
"Someone's coming," Nicole said, raising her paintball gun again and aiming it down the street, where Hannah was just appearing.
"That's far enough!" Nicole called to her, raising her rifle. "Turn around, and I might not take you out of the challenge."
Hannah simply raised her own rifle and fired it in the direction of Nicole's voice. Nicole dove to the side, but this allowed both Logan and Lance to be hit several times.
"Missed me!" Nicole yelled, firing back. But Hannah simply dodged out of the way of the paintballs and returned fire, forcing Nicole to roll for cover.
Hannah remained calm, taking her time to aim another shot. She pulled the trigger right as Nicole poked her head out to shoot at her, hitting Nicole right in the center of her forehead, knocking her flat on her back.
"Didn't miss that time," Hannah told her simply before turning around and walking away.
Nicole slammed her fist on the ground in frustration.
Rita guided her machine around the corner, flanked by Todd, William, Kaia, and Moira. "Check it out!" William yelled, pointing at the street and houses, which were all painted orange. "The Slickers were here."
"Not for long," Todd said, raising his heat blaster. "We'll dry the paint, and then paint over it, and their chances of winning go down."
"Thanks for stating the obvious, science boy," Kaia said. "Let's just get this over with."
Rita pulled some levers and the paint bot starting marching down the street. As Moira and Todd used their heat blasters to quickly dry the wet paint from the Slickers, the paint bot, with its rotating paint brushes, painted over it, making it seem like they had never been there.
"We've got this in the bag," Todd said as they turned the corner. As they left, Sarah appeared, having finally been able to climb out of the sewer. As she pulled herself out, an alligator head poked out after her, which she failed to notice as she pulled the nearby manhole cover over the hole.
"Finally," she said. Then she realized what the area looked like.
"Oh, that's not good," she said, pulling out her paintball rifle and running off.
As Clover leaped from the rooftops, several paintball shots landing at her feet.
"Sorry about this, but I have to take you down," Sonya said behind her.
"Not if I take you down first." Clover swung around and fired a shot right as Sonya did the same. Unfortunately, the two were both hit at the same time.
Both girls paused, looking at their splattered clothes.
"Yeah…probably should've ducked," Clover commented.
Otis, Nigel, and Maeve ran down the street, trying to find where Clover and Sonya went.
"Where the heck did she go?" Maeve asked.
Nigel held up his hand for silence. "Someone's coming," he said. "Get to cover."
The three ran and hid behind a dumpster as Deedee ran by, running her paint roller down the sides of buildings and cackling.
Nigel raised his rifle and, with pinpoint accuracy, shot Deedee in the back, knocking her out of the competition.
"Not bad, con man," Maeve told him as they continued.
"I know my way around firearms," Nigel replied.
"I hate to interrupt, but does anyone else notice that loud clanking noise coming towards us?" Otis asked.
The other two stopped, also hearing the sound of metal gears grinding. They all turned around to see Rita's painting mech round the corner, followed by the rest of the Pandas.
"Uh oh," Maeve said. She turned around to see Hannah blocking the other way, with her paintball rifle raised.
"Trapped like rats," Nigel muttered under his breath.
The first paintball fired, though it wasn't from any of the Slickers or the Pandas. This shot came from behind Hannah, hitting her in the back.
"If you want rats," Sara said as she and Desmond appeared. "Here we are."
As Hannah calmly walked out of the way, now eliminated from the challenge, the remaining Pandas all raised their weapons.
"We should probably get out of the way," Otis suggested.
"Good idea," Nigel said. But as the three tried to get out of the way of the imminent crossfire, Sara and Desmond began firing. The three Slickers were hit within seconds.
The Pandas returned fire, forcing Desmond and Sara to duck for cover. The battle continued, with paintballs flying everywhere. Todd was hit directly in the head, knocking him to the ground, followed swiftly by Kaia.
"Keep on them!" Sara called to Desmond. "We can win this!" No sooner had she said this than she was struck on the shoulder by a paintball, eliminating her.
Desmond groaned. "Seriously? You couldn't have lasted another few seconds?"
Sara glared at him.
"I've got him!" Moira yelled, rushing in and shooting paintballs at Desmond. But he easily rolled aside and shot her several times in the face with paintballs.
"Ha!" he cheered as Moira, blinded, fell to the ground. "That's what you get, you little—"
William and Rita, the last two Pandas standing, fired continuously at Desmond, practically covering him in paint until he finally fell to the ground.
An uneasy silence fell upon them.
"Well then," William said. "That's that."
"Indeed," Rita agreed, adjusting the levers on her painting mech. "Now, let's get back to work. The challenge isn't over yet."
Suddenly, both Rita and William were hit with paintballs from behind. They both turned around to see Sarah behind them, rifle raised.
"Sorry, but my team has a challenge to win," she declared.
Chris's airhorn suddenly sounded. "Game over!" he announced. "Via an epic shootout that ended with the elimination of both the Pandas and the Rats. Report back to the starting line for the final paint tally to determine the winner."
Chris met everyone back at the starting point. "I have to say, I was expecting a little more painting," he said. "Instead, what I got was several firefights and ambushes. Which, I have to say…were totally awesome!"
"But," he continued. "The rules stated that the winner of today's challenge would be the team that painted the most. And that victory goes to Rita and the Trash Pandas."
The Pandas all cheered, high fiving each other.
"And, since all of their work was painted over by the Pandas, the Slickers now find themselves having to vote someone off tonight," Chris continued.
The Slickers groaned and glared at one another.
"Oh yeah…this is going to be awesome," Chris decided with a smirk.
Later, as everyone was heading back to the main part of the city, Hunter pulled Sarah aside. "You and me, we're voting off Charlie tonight," he declared.
"What? Are you sure?"
"Positive. Thanks to him, he and I were taken out without a fight. The others will see that and will vote him out."
Sarah frowned. "You're sure that you have the votes?"
"Oh, I'm sure." He paused. "Of course, if you say no, I won't be able to protect you from the votes tonight. I hear Charlie's gunning for you since you ended the challenge when we had nothing painted."
Sarah's face paled. "Okay, I'll vote with you."
Hunter grinned toothily. "I figured you would"
At the elimination, Chris stood with only two tickets left in his hand. "There are only two tickets left," he warned, facing the Slickers. Of the team, only Charlie, Hunter, and Sarah still had not received a ticket.
"The three of you seem to be the people your teammates blame the most for the loss today," he went on. "Let's see who will stay another day, and who's taking the last train out of the city."
"The next ticket goes to…Hunter."
Hunter smirked and walked up to receive his ticket, leaving only Charlie and Sarah left.
Chris held up the last ticket. "The Final Ticket goes to…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…Charlie."
"Huh?" Sarah asked in confusion as Charlie got his ticket. "I thought—" She turned to Hunter in surprise. "You said we had the votes."
Hunter shrugged. "Yeah…I lied."
CONFESSIONAL
"I knew Charlie and Alex were gunning for me," Hunter said. "And I also knew that the others wouldn't vote the ninja out. So, I had to let things play out, and that meant letting everyone else get rid of my pawn. Oh well. There are stronger pawns still in play. The hunt has only just begun."
END CONFESSIONAL
"Sarah, the Tram Car of Shame awaits," Chris told her, gesturing to the arriving Tram Car.
Sarah sighed, but got onto the car, which zoomed away seconds later.
CONFESSIONAL
"I thought about voting for Hunter," Maeve admitted. "But Sarah had to go. She was starting to recognize me, and that's something I can't let happen. No one can know who I am. No one."
END CONFESSIONAL
"Woah, talk about your cliffhanger secrets," Chris commented as the scene returned to him. "Will anyone figure out Maeve's secret and survive to reveal it? Will Hunter dominate the competition? And will the campers ever get all that paint out of their clothes before the next challenge? To find out the answers to these and more questions, come back next time for more Total! Drama! City!"
Bonus Clip
Sarah sighed as the tram car took her away. "Well, that didn't go well," she admitted. "But at least I lasted a decent amount of time. At least now I can get back to the pool and practice my laps."
"Not quite," Chef called from off screen, where he was presumably driving the tram car. "You got Aftermath to go through."
"Aftermath? Seriously?" Sarah sighed. "Wonderful."

This elimination hurt me. It really did. Tempokeep was the writer that inspired me to start writing fanfiction. But, after looking at the characters, I just didn't have enough ideas for Sarah to stay in. And so she had to go. But big shoutout to Tempokeep for submitting her and for inspiring me to start this series. You rock, dude!
So, yeah, a lot of things to talk about here. Hunter is beginning to make his plays and show his dominance, and he's clearly not afraid of Charlie. This will probably end badly.
Also, Sara is starting to try to take full control of the Rats away from Desmond. But how long will their alliance last?
And, of course, we have the thing with Kaia. What is she planning? Who is she going after next? And what happened in that alley? Only time will tell.
With Sarah's elimination, we are now down to 21 characters, and, finally, getting into the more manageable number stage. Expect one, maybe two more double eliminations in this season just to whittle numbers down more. Keep making those predictions on who's going all the way.
Anywho, that's all from me.
