The episode opened with Chris on the Dock of Shame. "Last time, on Total Drama Island...The two teams participated in a trivial challenge that required them to use all their wit to save their team from a shocking fate. A lot of campers were shocked by this shocking challenge, and a lot of campers also had some shocking knowledge on a lot of shocking subjects regarding the shocking questions. Michelle proved that she had shockingly fast reflexes, and in the end, the Killer Bass finally managed to break their pathetic losing streak against the Screaming Gophers thanks to Kennedy's shocking knowledge on science, forcing the Screaming Gophers to attend their first campfire ceremony. After Oliver intimidated Sasha when she suggested that he was causing the Gophers too much trouble, Michelle stepped in to defend Sasha, cementing their friendship. Oliver's ego was getting in the way of the competition so much, that his team gave him the boot at the campfire ceremony, causing him to miss out on a sick party at a nightclub in Toronto, Ontario." Chris spoke as he gave a recap of last episode's events before the scene cut back to him on the Dock of Shame.
"Which team will be winning today's challenge and save their butts from elimination? Which team will win the sweet, sweet reward from the viewers back home? And which camper will set foot back on this crappy dock by the end of the episode? Find out on the most gruesome episode yet, on Total...Drama...Island!" Chris finished before the show's intro started to play.
Two spotlights rose into the air and were turned on. A camera rose from the ground where a groundhog was lying on while another camera came out of a tree.
Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine.
The camera zoomed across the camp before heading over the edge of the cliff and going underwater to show Kylie swimming there as a shark followed from behind. She then proceeded to bravely kick the shark in the face and swam away as the shark rubbed its snout in pain. The camera proceeded to rise to the surface of the water where Sasha was sitting in a motorboat that she had just fixed with a wrench and gave a small smile to the camera.
You guys are on my mind.
The camera then went into the forest to find Michelle playing a game on her handheld as Tessa was painting her doing this. However, she was soon disturbed by Regina sliding down a tree trunk on a skateboard and hopping over Michelle and Tessa, causing the trestle that Tessa's painting was standing on the collapse and the painting to fall onto her, covering her in paint before she looked at the camera in annoyance.
You asked me what I wanted to be,
The camera continued to follow Regina riding her skateboard through the forest as she passed by Miles, giving him a high five as she did so. Miles grinned as he gave Regina a thumbs up and then ran off into the forest.
And I think the answer is plain to see...
Hana was practicing her Judo moves in an open clearing in the forest. As she did so, she accidentally kicked against a wire which caused a platform in a tree above her to collapse and then a bucket of water fell onto her, soaking her judo gi. Hana was visibly upset as she looked around for any perpetrators before the camera zoomed out to reveal Kennedy and Mason hiding behind a rock, struggling to contain their laughter.
I wanna be famous.
The camera then began following Nathan and Melissa as they were jogging out of the forest and towards camp as they smiled at each other.
I wanna live close to the sun.
The camera then zoomed towards a waterfall where Valerie and Victoria were slap fighting with each other in a canoe which promptly fell off the waterfall with them inside. Socorro was standing on a wooden log and was horrified to see Valerie and Victoria fall down the waterfall, but then the log he was standing on collapsed underneath him as he fell as well.
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won.
The camera then turned to Zane leaning against the outhouse confessional as he was waiting for the person who occupied it to come out. Sybil then proceeded to come out of the outhouse as she and Zane looked at each other in awkward silence.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way.
The camera then went into the mess hall as Chef was preparing a meal in there. He smiled as he looked at Oliver and Aston, whom he had tied up with rope. Oliver and Aston nervously looked at each other before looking at Chef.
I'll get there one day.
The camera then turned to Dustin and Lester playing chess against each other, with Dustin winning the game as he raised his arms in victory as Lester just shrugged his shoulders, being indifferent to losing the game of chess.
'Cause I wanna be famous.
The scene then showed Cameron and Grayson at the beach, staring at Janson, who was lying on the beach before he splashed his bare torso with water, turning it to steam, causing Cameron to fan her face in admiration while Grayson shook his head in annoyance at his sister's reaction.
Na na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na.
The scene then then showed a seagull with plastic around its neck drifting on the water as a shark jumped over it before being pulled underwater by an octopus.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The camera then turned to Johan, who was sitting on a stool on the Dock of Shame with his guitar as he began to play it. He then proceeded to throw his baseball cap into the air as the camera began to follow it. The scene then turned to nighttime as Johan was sitting at the campfire and caught his baseball cap again before putting it back on his head. Chris and Chef then showed up with marshmallows.
[Whistling] I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
The camera then zoomed out to show all 24 campers sitting around the campfire, as well as a sign that read "Total Drama Island" on it.
The scene then cut to the Screaming Gophers and Chris arriving at the nightclub in Toronto, Ontario for their party on the night of Oliver's elimination. The helicopter carrying the Screaming Gophers and Chris landed on a helipad on the roof of the nightclub, and Chris and the Screaming Gophers proceeded to get out.
"Well, Screaming Gophers, enjoy tonight's party. You've earned it. Do as you like tonight, and if you feel like spending the night with me, I don't mind either." Chris chuckled a little at that as some of the Gophers rolled their eyes. The Gophers then split up as they each went their own way into the nightclub.
Janson and Cameron walked onto the dancefloor. Janson then smiled at Cameron as he held out his hand towards her. "May I have this dance with you, milady?" He asked the climber.
Cameron smiled as she took Janson's hand. "Of course, Janson." Her eyes glistened with excitement as the two of them began slow dancing on the dancefloor.
-Confessional: Cameron-
"I was really happy to have Janson all to myself that night without Grayson there to worry about me so much. Don't get me wrong, I appreciate that he worries about my safety, but Janson is someone he can trust me with. I'm certain of that." Cameron spoke as her eyes were still glistening with excitement.
-End Confessional-
Meanwhile, Zane was at the bar with Valerie and Victoria. "Well, I'm really glad that the viewers back home voted for us to win the reward tonight, because this nightclub is awesome." Zane told Valerie and Victoria as he took a sip of a mocktail he had ordered.
Victoria smiled and nodded. "I know, right?! This nightclub is soooo cool! I wish I could go to a place like this every Saturday night!" She exclaimed in excitement as she also proceeded to take a sip of her own mocktail.
Valerie giggled a little bit. "Si, this nightclub is the place to be in Toronto. Next time I visit this city, I oughta come back here some time." The Latina agreed as she also took a sip of her mocktail.
"How do you think the Killer Bass are doing back at Camp Wawanakwa?" Zane then asked the girls.
Valerie shrugged. "Not sure. Maybe they're having a party of their own back at camp, or maybe that crazy hombre Chef Hatchet is forcing them to work tonight. I really feel bad for the Bass, having been left alone with Chef at Camp Wawanakwa though." She replied to him.
Victoria curiously tilted her head at Valerie. "How come?" She asked her.
"I'm not sure if I have told you this before, but my papi once beat that Chef Hatchet hombre in a cooking competition and won $25.000 in the process. So I'm a little afraid of him." Valerie admitted to the optimist.
Victoria and Zane were both surprised, to say the least. "Wow, I never knew you had history with Chef, Valerie! Guess we learn something new about each other every day we spend at Camp Wawanakwa!" Victoria blurted out.
"I guess we do." Zane nodded in agreement before taking another sip of his mocktail.
Meanwhile, Michelle was talking with Sasha, and they were looking at Miles and Dustin talking. "You know, I'm gonna try talking to Miles now. Can you handle yourself for a bit, Sasha?" The blond gamer asked her tech genius face.
"Y-Y-Yeah, I can, Michelle...G-Good luck with Miles..." Sasha told Michelle with a shy smile.
Michelle smiled back. "Alright, here goes nothing." She replied before she began to approach Miles and Dustin, which they proceeded to notice.
"Oh, gosh...Michelle is coming our way...What do I do, Dustin...?" Miles asked Dustin with a faux nervous look on his face.
"Don't worry, Miles. I'll help you out." Dustin told Miles with a reassuring smile.
Miles smiled back at Dustin and nodded. "Alright." He replied to him before turning to Michelle. "Hey, Michelle." He told the blond gamer with a kind smile.
Michelle smiled and waved. "Hi, Miles! You're looking just as good in that outfit as you did on the first day we arrived at Camp Wawanakwa!" She told the machiavellian.
Miles smiled at the compliment. "Thanks, Michelle. You look pretty good yourself." He told the blond gamer back before looking over at Dustin to get a visual clue he was doing good with Michelle. Dustin smiled and gave Miles a thumbs up to confirm he was doing good with Michelle.
Michelle blushed and smiled at that. "Thanks, Miles. Say, do you care to have a dance on the dancefloor like what Janson and Cameron are doing?" She then suggested to Miles.
Miles looked over to the dancefloor and then back at Michelle before blushing himself. "Sure, I wouldn't mind." He replied with a smile before taking Michelle's hand and walking over to the dancefloor with her. Dustin smiled as he watched the scene.
-Confessional: Dustin-
"Look at Miles, coming out of his shell and getting involved with girls! He's really on his way to becoming a social butterfly! I'm quite proud of him!"
-End Confessional-
-Confessional: Miles-
The brunette smirked at the camera. "Boy, did I have Dustin fooled by making him think that I'm socially awkward with girls. Now I have the opportunity to recruit Michelle into my alliance and grow in strength in the competition."
-End Confessional-
Miles and Michelle then began slow dancing on the dancefloor. As they were doing so, they were chatting about things. "So, Miles...What's your favorite Mimtemdo game?" Michelle curiously asked Miles.
Miles thought about it. "That would have to be F-Negative on the Super Mimtemdo. I love the visuals, music and gameplay of that game." He replied to her.
Michelle smiled widely at that. "Really?! F-Negative is my favorite too! I love the franchise so much, that I'm actually planning to donate $5000 from the prize money to Mimtemdo so they can make another F-Negative game if I win!" She beamed at the brunette.
Miles smiled at that. "Really?! Awesome! I do hope you end up winning then! I'd really love for Mimtemdo to make a new F-Negative game!" He beamed back at the blond.
"I hope so too! How about we try and reach the finale together so that we have a bigger chance of making that wish come true?" Michelle suggested to Miles.
Miles smiled at that. "It's a done deal, Michelle." He told her as the two of them continued slow dancing together.
-Confessional: Miles-
"Hello, ally number two."
-End Confessional-
-Confessional: Michelle-
"Who knew that Miles was into F-Negative as well?! We really are birds of a feather, and now I just have the feeling we GOT to be together!" The blond gamer beamed to the camera with a beaming smile.
-End Confessional-
Meanwhile, Dustin had decided to join Sasha so she wouldn't feel lonely. "Hey, Sasha. I got a question: What are you gonna do with the prize money if you win?" He asked the tech genius.
Sasha became a bit nervous at that. "I-I'd rather not tell...It's for a goal I'd rather not share right now..." She replied as she rubbed her left arm with her right hand in discomfort.
Dustin nodded at that. "Alright, that's fine. I respect that privacy." He replied to her with a reassuring smile.
Sasha nodded at that with a shy smile. "T-Thank you, Dustin...W-What are you planning to do with the p-prize money if you win...?" She then asked him curiously.
"I'm planning to use it to support me and my brothers. We're a bit short on cash back home, so I figured I'd use the prize money to support us for a bit." Dustin replied with a shrug of his shoulders.
"I see...B-But don't you think that $100.000 is a bit of a paltry sum to support you and your b-b-brothers in the long term...?" Sasha asked him.
"I suppose so, but every little bit helps, even if it's only temporary." Dustin replied with another shrug of his shoulders.
"I-I see...W-Well, I'm gonna see what Johan and S-S-Sybil are up to...C-Catch you later, D-Dustin..." Sasha told the mathematician with a shy smile before making her way towards Johan and Sybil, who were looking out over the Toronto night skyline from the edge of the roof terrace of the nightclub.
"Alright, later, Sasha." Dustin smiled and waved before he began thinking.
-Confessional: Dustin-
"I know I said I respect Sasha's privacy, but there's just something about her that seems a little...off. I'll have to discuss this with Miles later once he's done with Michelle."
-End Confessional-
Sasha had made her way over to Johan and Sybil and leaned on the railing of the roof terrace with them. "H-Hi, guys..." She told Johan and Sybil with a shy smile.
Johan smiled at Sasha while Sybil smirked at her. "Hey, Sasha. How are you doing on this party night?" Johan asked the tech genius as he kept the kind smile.
"I-I have to admit, I'm not too comfortable being at a party with this many people...I don't go out to parties much, nor do I go out much in general...This just isn't something for me..." Sasha admitted as she sighed a bit.
"Don't worry about it, Sasha. You're not weird for not being a social butterfly like most of us are. Socially awkward people are charming in their own way." Sybil assured her, but this did not put Sasha at ease, as it seemed to further discomfort her.
Johan noticed this. "I don't think that's really putting Sasha at ease, Sybil..." He told her with a frown.
Sybil proceeded to notice it as well. "Sorry if I made it worse, Sasha. I didn't mean to do so." She told the tech genius.
"I-It's fine, S-Sybil...L-Let's just enjoy the n-night skyline..." Sasha assured her before the three of them continued to watch over the night skyline of Toronto.
-Confessional: Chris-
"What a party we had that night! I spent the night with a bunch of people who recognized me from the various other reality shows I've hosted or participated on! They were begging for me to tell them something about the next challenge we're gonna be playing back at Camp Wawanakwa, but that'd ruin the surprise, so I just told them to have some patience and wait it out! And before we knew it, it was already time to head back to the island!"
-End Confessional-
The scene then cut to the next morning, back at Camp Wawanakwa. The Screaming Gophers were already at the mess hall having their breakfast, while the Killer Bass had yet to arrive. "Hey, where's the Killer Bass? Aren't they supposed to be having breakfast with us right now?" Victoria questioned.
"They'll be here soon, don't ya worry." Chef replied to her with a sadistic chuckle as the Killer Bass proceeded to enter the mess hall. They were all tired and had bags under their eyes as they went up to Chef's window to get their breakfast. The Screaming Gophers watched in surprise.
"Caramba, what happened to you muchahos and muchachas?" Valerie asked the Killer Bass.
"Chef threw us a consolation party here at the camp..." Tessa groaned.
"Correction: He made us clean his kitchen all night and every time we were close to being finished, he made another mess for us to clean up again...We ended up getting only an hour of sleep last night..." Lester groaned as well.
"Man, that really sucks, guys. Do you think you'll be able to play the challenge today?" Zane questioned.
"It's not like we have a choice...Chris is gonna make us play that challenge, whether we like it or not just to spite us..." Melissa then groaned.
"True...Well, if you'll excuse us, we're getting right back to breakfast." Zane nodded as he and the other Screaming Gophers turned their attention back to breakfast.
"Miladies, gents, are you pondering what I am pondering?" Janson then asked his team.
"I think so, Janson! Why do they make pizza round, cut it in triangles and put them in square boxes?" Victoria then asked out loud.
Janson chuckled a little at that. "No, milady, that's not what I am pondering. I was pondering that we could use the Killer Bass' lack of sleep to our advantage in the challenge today. Just think about it: They will probably collapse from their lack of sleep in the middle of the challenge, giving us an easy victory today." He explained to his team.
Sybil smirked at that. "I like your way of thinking, Janson. We should be able to pull that off. But first, we should await what the challenge is gonna be." She replied to him.
"Alright, then that's settled. Our game plan for today is: Try and win the challenge, and if the Killer Bass pass out from a lack of sleep, it will give us an even easier victory." Johan nodded.
"Yes, that's just about the game plan for today." Janson nodded back.
The Killer Bass overheard the conversation and turned their attention to each other. "You heard that, guys? They're hoping our lack of sleep will put us in a disadvantage for today's challenge. If that's the case, our game plan should be the complete opposite: We should do our very best to stay awake for the whole challenge and lead ourselves on to victory despite having barely slept last night. Does that work for everyone?" Kylie then questioned her teammates.
"I have no better ideas, so let's go with Kylie's idea." Lester then nodded.
"Yeah, it's worth a shot." Mason agreed.
"I agree." Socorro agreed as well.
"Let's give it a try!" Regina gave a tired grin. Both teams then proceeded to look towards the mess hall door as Chris proceeded to enter with a beaming smile and his eyes closed. He opened his eyes and looked at the teams.
"Good morning, campers! Did you sleep well?" Chris asked with a sadistic chuckle, knowing fully well that the Killer Bass had barely slept.
"We were trying to get some sleep after Chef made us clean his kitchen all night, but you felt the need to wake us up at 7 AM with an airhorn." Grayson replied in an irritated tone of voice as he looked cranky from the lack of sleep.
"Yeah, sorry about that. I didn't want you guys to miss out on breakfast. Besides, you're gonna need every little bit of energy you can get for today's challenge. Follow me, and I'll lay it all on you." Chris told the campers as they proceeded to get up from their seats and dropped their plates off at Chef's window before proceeding to leave the mess hall to follow Chris. As Miles was about to leave, Dustin stopped him.
"Hey, Miles. Can we talk for a sec?" Dustin asked Miles.
"Sure, Dustin. What's the matter?" The machiavellian asked the mathematician.
"It's about Sasha. I was talking to her last night, and when I asked her what she was planning to do with the prize money if she wins, she said she'd rather not tell. Of course I said I respected her privacy, but there's just something about her that seems...off." Dustin explained to him.
Miles nodded. "And you're planning on getting to the bottom of it, aren't you?" He asked Dustin.
"Maybe...sorta. I just want to know what's up with the thing that seems off about her. We should a little investigating once this challenge is over." Dustin suggested to him.
Miles nodded again. "Alright, then that's settled. But for now, we have a challenge to win, so let's get down to that business first before we can worry about Sasha's business." He suggested in return.
Dustin nodded back. "Yeah, that's probably for the best." He agreed as the two boys proceeded to leave the mess hall as well.
-Confessional: Dustin-
"People are probably gonna think I'm a nosy bastard for trying to stick my nose where it doesn't belong, but sometimes I just have to know what's going on with some of the people on this island. And in Sasha's case, it is something I just have to know about. I just can't help it sometimes."
-End Confessional-
The scene then cut to the two teams standing at the start of a dangerous obstacle course with Chris standing in front of them. "Today's challenge is gonna be testing your physical fitness. You'll be competing in a relay race through this dangerous obstacle course. One by one, each member of your team will be running through one part of the obstacle course to the next, after which the next member of your team will run through the next part of the obstacle course. This will continue until the last member of both teams are reached. Those two campers will then run towards the finish line. The first camper to cross the finish line will win the challenge for their team, therefore saving their butts from the campfire ceremony." Chris explained to the campers.
"Alright! That sounds exciting!" Regina blurted out with another tired grin.
"S-S-Sounds rather dangerous to me..." Sasha muttered nervously.
"I will give you a few minutes to decide in which order you will be going through the obstacle course, starting...now!" Chris then told the campers. Both teams then huddled together to start discussing their team order.
"Alright, who wants to go first in this relay race?" Zane asked his team.
"I-I'll go first...I'm...not the strongest member...P-Plus, that'll give us a more likely ch-ch-chance of not screwing this up..." Sasha offered.
"Are you sure, Sasha?" Michelle then asked her friend.
"Y-Yes...I'm sure..." Sasha replied to her.
Zane nodded at that. "Alright, so Sasha's going first. Who's going after her?" The strategist then asked.
"I'll go after her, if you don't mind. I might be able to buy us a bigger lead." Sybil then offered.
"I'll go after Sybil then." Johan spoke.
"I'll go after Johan then." Michelle nodded.
"If it is alright with you all, I will be going after Michelle." Janson then offered.
"I'll go after Janson then!" Cameron then offered.
"Alrighty then. I'll be going up after you then." Zane nodded to her.
"I'll go after you then, amigo. I can take whatever obstacle is in my way." Valerie said with a confident grin.
"Oh, can I go after Valerie? I'm sure I can buy us a bigger lead on the Bass!" Victoria offered.
"Works for me." Miles nodded.
"Then I'll go after her." Dustin nodded.
"Guess that means I'll be going last then." Miles then spoke.
"Are you sure you can take that pressure, Miles?" Valerie then asked the machiavellian.
"Of course I can, Val. I have proven back home that I can work perfectly under pressure. No problem." Miles assured the Latina.
Valerie nodded. "Alright then." She replied.
-Confessional: Miles-
"People are probably gonna assume that because I'm going last, my team is going to be voting me off if we lose the challenge. But as far as I'm concerned, that won't be the case. I'm physically superior compared to some of the other people on my team, like Sasha, for instance. At this point in the competition, a physically superior contestant is very valuable if most of the team based challenges are gonna be physical based. And even if most of the team based challenges are going to be mentally based, then I should still be a valuable asset to my team. I've got quite some brainpower as well. You could say I have the strength of a lion, the brains of an elephant and the speed of a cheetah." Miles boasted a bit with a confident smirk.
-End Confessional-
Next, the Killer Bass were discussing in which order they should run the relay race. "Alright, who wants to go first in the race?" Kylie asked her teammates.
"I'll go first. I'm not the fastest nor the strongest member of the team, so if I go first, that should reduce our chance of screwing it up." Lester offered.
"Alright. Who's going after Lester?" Kylie then asked.
"I'll go after him. I should be able to get us a decent lead on the Screaming Gophers." Tessa then offered.
"I'll go after her then." Socorro offered.
"Can I go after Socorro? I should be able to get us a decent lead on the Screaming Gophers as well!" Mason then offered.
"Oh, can I go after Mason then? If I go after him, I should be able to get us an even bigger lead on the other team!" Kennedy gleefully giggled. Despite her lack of sleep, she was still as upbeat and hyperactive as ever. Her other team members took notice of this.
-Confessional: Socorro-
"That Kennedy girl is still as upbeat and hyperactive as ever, even though she barely got any sleep last night. She's just bursting with energy, no matter how tired she can get. That's what I like about her. As a friend, of course." Socorro made clear.
-End Confessional-
"I'll go after Kennedy then." Grayson then offered.
"Alright, I'm going after you then." Kylie nodded.
"Then I'm going after you." Regina chimed in.
"I'll be going after you then." Melissa offered.
"Guess I'll be going last then. Sweet!" Nathan grinned.
"With an athlete like you, I'm confident we'll cross that finish line first, Nathan." Kylie grinned back.
"Alright, time's up! Have you decided on your team orders for this challenge?" Chris then asked the campers.
"Yes. Our team order is: Sasha, Sybil, Johan, Michelle, Janson, Cameron, Zane, Valerie, Victoria, Dustin, Me." Miles told him.
"And our team order is Lester, Tessa, Socorro, Mason, Kennedy, Grayson, Kylie, Regina, Melissa, Me." Nathan added.
Chris nodded. "Alright, then that's settled! Get in your positions, and then we can get this challenge started!" He told the campers. The scene then cut to Sasha standing at the starting line for the Screaming Gophers, and Lester standing at the starting line for the Killer Bass.
"Alright, are you all ready?" Chris asked Sasha and Lester.
"Yes!" Lester replied.
"Y-Y-Yes..." Sasha replied.
"Alright! Ready, set, GO!" Chris exclaimed as he fired a pistol into the air as Sasha and Lester ran off. A dead bird then dropped from the sky in front of Chris' feet, having accidentally been shot by Chris. The raven haired host frowned at this. "That's gonna provoke some angry e-mails..." He awkwardly spoke.
Sasha and Lester soon came across their first obstacle: Swinging balls and chains that would knock them off the course if they made one false move. "O-Oh no...I hate obstacles like this...O-Okay, S-Sasha, timing is everything..." Sasha then told herself.
"Crap...One false move and I'll probably find myself flung face first into a tree..." Lester told himself before him and Sasha began calculating the pattern the balls and chains swung in before jumping past each of them and running towards their teammates: Sybil for the Screaming Gophers and Tessa for the Killer Bass.
"Hey, you made it!" Sybil told Sasha with her usual smirk.
"Y-Yeah...Thank goodness I made it..." Sasha told her as she shivered at the horror of the obstacle she just had to pass.
"Well, gotta run. Hopefully I'll see you at the finish line." Sybil replied before running off.
"Ah, good. You're here. I'll head out now." Tessa told Lester before running off.
"Good luck, Tess!" Lester called after her.
Sybil and Tessa then began running towards the next obstacle: Monkey bars suspended over a pit of snakes. Sybil gulped at the sight of the pit.
-Confessional: Sybil-
"I wasn't neccessarily afraid of the snakes that were inside that pit. I was afraid of the pit itself. Y'see, I'm really afraid of holes. I just don't like the sight of them, and I would faint if I ever fell into one. So I was hoping and praying that I wouldn't fall into that damn pit."
-End Confessional-
"Well, here goes nothing." Tessa said before she jumped and grabbed onto the monkey bars, but found they were very slippery. "Whoa! Who made these things so slippery?" She then questioned before the camera turned over to Chef holding up a bucket filled with grease from his kitchen.
"I greased those monkey bars with grease from my kitchen." Chef replied with a grin.
Sybil shook her head at this. "No way. No god damn way. I'm not crossing that pit if the monkey bars are greased up. I'll fall into the pit and faint." She said as she crossed her arms.
Johan and Socorro were watching from the other side of the obstacle. "Come on, Sybil! You can do it!" Johan called to Sybil.
"I can't do it, Johan! I'll fall, and then I'll faint!" Sybil called back. Tessa then made it to the other side of the hole, allowing Socorro to leave for the next obstacle earlier.
"We're already falling behind, Sybil! You have to cross that pit!" Johan called back again.
Sybil squirmed a little before nodding. "Alright, here goes nothing then..." She took a deep breath before jumping and grabbing onto the greasy monkey bars, moving as fast as she could to reach the other side of the hole.
"Alright, you made it! Now I gotta run to close the gap in the Bass' lead!" Johan told Sybil before running off after Socorro.
"You can do it, Johan!" Sybil shouted to encourage Johan.
Johan and Socorro then made it to the next obstacle: A climbing wall with boxing gloves coming out of it. "Oh, man...This looks like it could be tough...Will we have to start over if we fall, Chris?" Socorro asked Chris.
"Yes, if you fall off that wall, you have to go back to the beginning of the wall to try again." Chris replied over the speakers.
"Noted..." Socorro nodded before he took a breath to calm his nerves and began climbing his side of the wall as Johan began doing the same thing. As Socorro was climbing his part of the wall, he was hit in the face with a boxing glove and knocked off the wall, falling into a pool of mud that was in front of the climbing wall.
"Ah! That smarts..." Socorro groaned as he got up from the mud and ran back to the beginning of the wall. Fortunately for Socorro, Johan was also promptly knocked off the wall and into the mud pool, forcing him to start over from the beginning of the wall as well.
"Ugh...Now I have to start over again..." Johan groaned as he ran back to the beginning of the wall as well and him and Socorro began climbing across the wall as well, with Socorro being faster than Johan, with the Type-A perfectionist raising his arms in victory as he ran towards Mason. He then tagged the party boy with a high five.
"Cool, you made it! Here I go!" Mason yelled happily as he ran towards the next obstacle. Johan arrived at Michelle soon after.
"Go! Close the lead the Bass have on us!" Johan told Michelle, who nodded and ran after Mason as fast as she could. She then began running next to Mason.
"We're so gonna get back at you for beating us last challenge!" Michelle told Mason confidently.
"Nuh-uh! We're gonna be winning this thing again! Just wait and see!" Mason replied to her, sounding equally confident. The two of them then made it to the next obstacle: A conveyor belt with wooden barrels rolling down it.
Michelle gasped happily. "Ooh! This reminds me of one of Mimtemdo's most popular arcade games, Monkey Goat!" She exclaimed with glee.
-Confessional: Mason-
"Nathan already lost to a gamer girl in a video game challenge, and I won't let that happen to me! I'm gonna be beating Michelle at her own game!"
-End Confessional-
Michelle and Mason then began running up the conveyor belts as hard as they could, with Michelle jumping over the barrels and Mason copying this, hoping to build up a lead on the gamer girl. Eventually though, Michelle managed to cross the obstacle first and arrived at Janson.
"Alright! I'm here! Now get going!" Michelle told Janson, who gave the gamer girl a nod and made a dash for it. Mason arrived at Kennedy soon after, giving the perfectionist prankster a high five and getting a shock from her joy buzzer in the process.
"Ah! That smarts!" Mason exclaimed as he waved his hand in the air.
Kennedy giggled a little bit. "You should know better than to high five me while I have a joy buzzer on me!" She replied with a cheeky grin. "Anyway, gotta run! See ya!" She added before running off after Janson, running up to the flirtatious deceiver and began running next to him.
"Greetings, Kennedy. How is this fine day treating you?" Janson asked the perfectionist prankster with a kind smile.
"It's treating me just fine, Janson! Thanks for asking! I'll see you at the finish though!" Kennedy replied cheerfully as she and Janson arrived at the next obstacle: A spinning tree trunk situated above a pit of tomato sauce.
"Ooh, this looks fun!" Kennedy giggled as she hopped onto the spinning tree trunk with Janson doing the same thing.
-Confessional: Kennedy-
"When I saw that spinning tree trunk, I knew there would be a more creative and innovative way to cross it and also avoid being thrown into that tomato sauce pit at the same time! Now it was hoping that Janson wouldn't catch wind of it..."
-End Confessional-
Once Kennedy reached the end of the spinning tree trunk, she laid herself down on it and clamped her arms and legs around it. Janson didn't notice this and continued to cross the tree trunk as it continued spinning around. Noticing this, Kennedy grinned and used the momentum of the tree trunk's spinning to launch herself into the air, allowing her to reach Grayson faster. Janson was startled by Kennedy suddenly launching herself into the air and fell over backwards into the tomato sauce.
"Oh, no! My beautiful clothes!" Janson exclaimed in dismay.
Kennedy then landed next to Grayson. "Whoa! That's one way to cross to the other side of that pit! Well done!" Grayson grinned as him and Kennedy gave each other a thumbs up. Grayson then turned to Cameron.
"Hey, Cammie. Good luck. I'll see you at the finish line." The motocross rider smirked at his sister before running off.
"Oh, you're on, Gray!" Cameron called after him before Janson arrived at her location, covered in tomato sauce. "Whoa! Janson, your beautiful clothes are covered in tomato sauce!" The climber exclaimed in shock.
"Indeed they are, Cameron...But do not worry about that, as I will wash them once this challenge is over. Now go, close the lead on your twin brother!" Janson told Cameron.
Cameron smiled. "I will, Janson! Love you!" She gave Janson a quick kiss on the cheek and ran after Grayson.
Janson smiled at that. Kennedy giggled a little bit. Meanwhile, Cameron and Grayson were running next to each other on their way to the next obstacle. "Be careful around that Janson, guy, Cammie. I get the feeling he has evil plans with you." Grayson warned his sister.
"Oh, hush, Gray. You're imagining things. Janson is too kind to be the villainous type." Cameron assured her brother.
"Alright, Cammie. But don't say I didn't warn you when, surprise, surprise, the inevitable happens." Grayson replied back as he continued running faster to build up a lead on his sister. The twins then arrived at the next obstacle: A mountain of unwashed socks shooting batches of dirty laundry.
"A mountain of socks that shoots laundry? What?" Grayson asked in confusion as he looked at the obstacle before him. He decided not to question it and began climbing the mountain with Cameron following right behind.
"I'm gonna beat you this time, Gray! Just you wait!" Cameron told Grayson with a confident smirk.
"Not in your wildest dreams, Cammie!" Grayson replied with an equally confident smirk. Unfortunately, he wasn't paying attention and got blasted by a batch of dirty laundry and was knocked off the mountain.
"You okay, Gray?!" Cameron called down.
"Don't worry about me, Cammie, I'm fine!" Grayson called back up.
"Okay, Gray!" Cameron called back down as she continued climbing the mountain, doing her best to avoid being blasted by a batch of dirty laundry along the way. Grayson quickly made his way back up the mountain to regain his lost lead. Cameron then made it to the other side of the mountain and quickly ran towards Zane.
"There you are! My turn!" Zane said as he quickly ran off.
"Get to Valerie as quick as you can, Zane!" Cameron called to the strategist as he took off.
Grayson arrived at Kylie's location shortly afterwards. "There you are! What took you so long?" Kylie asked Grayson.
"Well, you see..." Grayson tried to explain before being cut off by Kylie.
"No matter. I gotta regain our lost lead on the Gophers. We can't let them win." Kylie replied as she quickly took off.
-Confessional: Kylie-
"I don't know what happened to Grayson back there that caused him to lose the lead, but it's now up to me to regain that lost lead. I might be dead tired, but I sure as hell wasn't gonna let that affect my game today. It's a good thing I'm an athletic gal in situations like this." Kylie remarked as she had her hands in her lap.
-End Confessional-
Zane then began running towards the next obstacle as Kylie quickly passed by him. "Damn it! Run faster, Zane! You can't let the Bass win today!" The strategist told himself as he began running as fast as he could to catch up to Kylie.
The two of them then got to their next obstacle: A circus trapeze course filled with clowns. Zane was horrified as he saw the clowns. "Are those clowns over there...?" The strategist gulped, looking quite pale.
"Sure looks like it. Well, good luck, Zane! You'll need it!" Kylie replied as she quickly began to swing on the trapezes to get to the other side.
"Oh, man..." Zane whimpered as he jumped into the air and grabbed onto one of the trapezes on his side as the clowns tried to snatch him out of the air. "I'm a big boy now, you can't hurt me anymore!" He told the clowns as he flew through the air, grabbing onto the other trapezes and tried to stay as high in the air as possible to prevent the clowns from grabbing onto him.
Kylie quickly made it to the other side of the course and made her way over to Regina. "Alright, we got a lead again! Now go, before we lose the lead again!" Kylie told Regina, who nodded and made a dash for it.
"For the Killer Bass!" Regina exclaimed as she ran off towards the next part of the obstacle course.
Zane arrived at Valerie's location shortly afterwards, shivering in fear. Valerie noticed this and looked concerned. "Ooh, what's up with you, muchacho?" She asked Zane.
"No time to explain...Go..." Zane replied as he continued to shiver in fear. Valerie nodded and ran off after Regina.
"Para las Gritonas Gophers!" Valerie yelled as she charged after Regina. The two ladies soon made it to the next part of the obstacle course: A diving board with a pool filled freezing cold water that had a killer whale swimming in it. The two ladies quickly climbed up the diving board and jumped down, landing on the rafts that were below them. They grabbed their paddles and quickly began to paddle to the other side of the pool. As they were doing so, however, they were knocked off their rafts by the killer whale that was swimming in the water.
"Whoa! What a capsize!" Chris laughed over the speakers. Valerie and Regina then surfaced, shivering like crazy.
"Brrrr! This water is cold!" Valerie exclaimed.
"It is! But I'm not gonna let it stop me!" Regina replied as she quickly began swimming towards the other side of the pool and hopped out, running towards Melissa. Valerie also quickly swam to the other side of the pool before hopping out and running towards Victoria.
Regina arrived at Melissa's location first. "Get to Nathan as quick as you can! We're this close to winning!" She told Melissa.
"Got it. Here I go!" Melissa exclaimed as she ran off.
Valerie then arrived at Victoria's location, shivering from the cold. "Are you alright, Val?" Victoria asked with a look of concern on her face.
"Don't worry about me, muchacha...Just go...Get to Dustin as quick as you can..." Valerie replied as she continued to shiver.
"Okay!" Victoria replied as she quickly ran off.
-Confessional: Melissa-
"It was a good idea to let the more athletic people go last. That way, we have a bigger chance of winning this thing, and now that we're this close to winning, I'm confident we can win this. I guess that having one person less than the Gophers really paid off in the end." Melissa spoke with a smile on her face and her hands on her hips like a big cheese.
-End Confessional-
Victoria was doing her best to keep up with Melissa, being able to run decently fast. Melissa was still faster though, and the two ladies quickly made their way towards the next obstacle: A zip line suspended over a pit of alligators. Once Victoria and Melissa had made their way up the ladder to the zip line, they looked down and gulped.
"Oh, boy...I better not fall into that alligator pit...I don't want to become their lunch..." Victoria said, looking quite pale.
"Neither do I...Well, see you on the other side, hopefully." Melissa replied as she grabbed onto the zip line and began to cable down it. Victoria took a deep breath to calm her nerves and began to cable down the zip line as well. As they were cabling down the zip line, Chef showed up piloting a helicopter with a large pair of scissors underneath.
"Sorry, kiddies, but y'all won't be makin' the cut." Chef laughed sadistically at his cheesy one-liner before using the large scissors to cut the zip line, causing Victoria and Melissa to plummet down towards the pit of alligators, screaming as they did so.
"Alright, I gotta think of a plan before I become alligator food..." Melissa told as she began to quickly think of a plan before looking at the other end of the zip line that hadn't been cut. "I got it! I'll just swing like the other side like Tarzan the Ape Man!" She snapped her finger before letting out a loud Tarzan call and landed on the mats on the other side of the zip line. She then got off and ran towards Nathan.
Victoria proceeded to do the same thing as Melissa: She let out a loud Tarzan yell and swung to the other side of the alligator pit. She landed on the mats and hopped off, running towards Dustin. "Woohoo!" She yelled cheerfully as she raised her arms in victory while she ran.
Melissa then arrived at Nathan's location. "Go! Win this for us!" She told him.
"You got it!" Nathan replied as he ran off.
Victoria then arrived at Dustin's location. "Go! Don't let Nathan defeat you!" She told him.
Dustin nodded. "I'll take care of this!" He said as he ran off.
"Now, Killer Bass, since you have one person less, Nathan is gonna have to go through two obstacles, rather than one like the rest of you." Chris then spoke over the speakers.
"No problem, I can handle this!" Nathan replied as he ran towards the next obstacle with Dustin following behind.
"I'm gonna be the first to get past this obstacle and reach Miles so he can win this for us!" Dustin told Nathan as the two boys ran towards the next obstacle: A skateboard course with loopings and flamethrowers.
"Aw, man! Why'd they have to put a skateboard course in here?! I suck at all sports, except for chess and soccer!" Dustin exclaimed in dismay.
"I don't know about you, but this looks so cool! Geronimo!" Nathan exclaimed as he hopped onto his skateboard and took off.
"Well, looks like I'll have to get through this...I can't let my team down..." Dustin sighed as he also hopped onto his skateboard and took off after Nathan.
"Woohoo!" Nathan exclaimed in excitement as he rode his skateboard through the course, speeding through the loopings and dodging the flamethrowers along the way. Then, once he had reached the end of the skateboard course, he did a somersault of his skateboard and landed on the ground before running off towards the next obstacle, passing Miles as he did so.
"Come on, Dustin! Get through that skateboard course!" Miles called out to his buddy.
"Alright, here I come!" Dustin exclaimed before crashing his skateboard into the end of the course as he fell off, yelling and landed in front of Miles. "Go! The victory of this challenge is on the line!" He then told Miles.
Miles nodded and ran off after Nathan. The two boys then got to the final obstacle: A tightrope suspended over a pit with two hungry tigers inside. Nathan looked horrified at this. "Oh, hell no! I hate tigers! I'm not doing this!" The fun loving athlete spoke.
"You could drop out of the challenge if you want, but that will cost your team the challenge, and that might cost you your place in the game." Chris laughed over the speakers.
Nathan gave it great thought before looking determined. "You're right, Chris. I can't let my team down like this." He said before he began to cross the tightrope as quickly as he could.
-Confessional: Miles-
"So I could notice that Nathan didn't find tigers all that pleasant, and I thought I could use that in my favor so that we could win the challenge. Time to put that plan into motion."
-End Confessional-
As Miles was crossing the tightrope himself, he tried to stay as close to Nathan as possible. "Hey, Nathan. Are you afraid of tigers?" The machiavellian asked the fun-loving athlete in the kindest voice he could put up.
"Yeah, I am..." Nathan admitted as he continued to cross the tightrope, a very uncomfortable feeling slipping into his mind as Miles talked to him.
"Are you afraid you might fall into the pit and get eaten by the tigers?" Miles asked him again, keeping up the kind voice.
"Yeah..." Nathan replied, becoming even more uncomfortable now.
"And you love life way too much to die at the claws of those tigers, do you?" Miles asked once again, doing his very best to keep up the kind voice.
"Yeah! I do! I gotta get over this pit before I become tiger food!" Nathan shrieked before he rushed across the tightrope and crossed the finish line first, causing the Killer Bass, who were all at the finish line along with the Screaming Gophers and Chris to cheer happily.
"And the Killer Bass win their second challenge! Congratulations!" Chris told the Killer Bass as they picked up Nathan and tossed him up and down in the air, celebrating their second victory. Miles was shocked that his plan had backfired on him.
-Confessional: Miles-
"Okay, I have to admit, I didn't see that coming. I just know that the rest of my team is gonna be mad at me now."
-End Confessional-
Miles then walked up to the rest of the Screaming Gophers, most of which were staring at him angrily. "I'm sorry, guys. I really screwed up, I admit that." Miles calmly told his team.
"Damn right you did, Señor Prosthetic! ¡Lo jodiste a lo grande!" Valerie told him as she crossed her arms.
"That was a dumb move you made back there, Miles. If you're lucky at the campfire ceremony tonight, you might be able to redeem yourself during the next challenge. If you're lucky, that is." Sybil told Miles as she had an angry look on her face and her hands on her hips.
Chris whistled on his fingers to get the attention of both teams. "May I have your attention, please?" He asked the teams. "It's time to reveal who won the reward from the Viewer's Vote! Now, this time around, the Viewer's Vote tied, so we decided to give the reward from the Viewer's Vote to the team that won the challenge, and considering it was the Killer Bass who won the challenge, they get a workshop from a reality star on the wonders of being a reality star!" Chris announced as the Killer Bass once again cheered.
-Confessional: Socorro-
"A workshop from an actual reality star to learn how to be one yourself? I'm not sure if it'll help me in the long run, but I'll take the knowledge if I do end up becoming a well known reality star."
-End Confessional-
Chris then walked up to the Screaming Gophers. "Gophers, you lost again. Head back to camp and get ready to send another camper packing down the Dock of Shame and on the Boat of Losers back home." He told them.
-Confessional: Miles-
"So my team knows that I screwed up the challenge today, but they also know that I'm a valuable asset in both physical and mental strength, so they wouldn't risk booting me off this early in the game. Instead, they'll vote off someone who's not as physically strong, like Sasha. I already got Dustin to help me out with that plan, and I also managed to convince people such as Janson, Cameron and Victoria to also help me out with the plan. I know Michelle is close with Sasha, so she wouldn't vote for her, but once Sasha's out of the game, I can use Michelle's sorrow to my advantage and allow her to seek comfort with her so I can get her to do my bidding." Miles told the camera with an evil smirk on his face.
-End Confessional-
-Confessional: Janson-
"So Miles came to me and asked me for my help in voting off Sasha. When I asked him why, he explained his plans for the blond gamer girl, Michelle. Turns out Miles and I really think alike when it comes to the game plan, and that's just what I need to make it far into this game. Miles and I are the ideal pair, just like bread and butter. But the bread is dirty and moldy, and the butter is cold and hard in this case."
-End Confessional-
The scene then cut to the campfire ceremony at night. A wolf was standing on top of a cliff as it howled at the moon. Chris was standing at his podium with a plate of marshmallows resting on top of it.
"Who doesn't like a nice soft marshmallow to roast above a campfire? I bet you all do, but unfortunately, not everyone will get to enjoy the nice, gooey taste of a roasted marshmallow tonight, as I only have 10 marshmallows on this plate. When I call out your name, come up here and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight must immediately make their way back towards the Dock of Shame, board the Boat of Losers, and leave Total Drama Island. And you cannot come back. Ever." Chris monologued to the campers as they all looked at each other.
"The first marshmallow goes to...Zane." Chris continued as Zane got up from his seat and grabbed his marshmallow off the plate.
"Victoria." Victoria smiled as she got up to claim her marshmallow.
"Cameron...and Dustin." Chris continued as Cameron and Dustin grabbed their marshmallows from the plate.
"Janson, Sybil and Valerie, you're also safe." The three campers sighed in relief as they went to claim their marshmallows as well.
"Also safe is...Michelle." Michelle squealed happily and grabbed her marshmallow from the plate and kissed it happily.
Sasha, Johan and Miles remained as Chris looked towards them sternly. "The three of you all got votes, some more than others. Johan...You only got one vote, so you're safe." Chris said as Johan grinned and got up to claim his marshmallow.
"Sasha, Miles...This...is the final marshmallow of the evening. And that marshmallow goes to...

...Miles." Chris finished as Miles nodded and walked up to him to claim his marshmallow. Sasha looked sad as she realized she was now out of the game.
"Sasha, I'm sorry, but this is where your Total Drama adventure ends. The Dock of Shame awaits." Chris told the tech genius.
Sasha hung her head in sadness. "I-I-It was nice to meet all of you..." She sadly spoke before looking up. "M-Michelle...P-Please win this thing for me..." She then told the blond gamer as she walked up to her and gave her a goodbye hug.
"I will, Sasha...I hope we'll meet each other back in the civilized world..." Michelle told her friend with equal sadness.
"I-It's a promise..." Sasha smiled for a second before hanging her head again and walking down the Dock of Shame.
-Confessional: Sybil-
"I'm pretty sure Miles is behind this, and if he thinks he's gonna get away with this, he's got another thing coming." Sybil told the camera with a steely eyed look in her eyes and pointed towards the camera.
-End Confessional-
Sybil knocked on the door of the girls' side of the Killer Bass cabin, and Kennedy opened it. "Oh, hey, Sybil. Need something?" Kennedy asked her with a smile.
"Do you have itch powder that I can borrow?" Sybil asked her.
"Sure! But don't use too much of it! I still need to use it for the rest of the summer!" Kennedy beamed as she handed Sybil a bottle of itch powder.
Sometime later, Miles ran out of the boys' side of the Gopher cabin, scratching himself like crazy. "Ah! Ah! Ah! It itches! It itches! Make it stop!" The machiavellian yelled out as he ran towards the communal bathrooms to take a shower.
"Good night, everyone." Sybil said with a smirk as she closed her eyes and turned over in her bed to head off to sleep.

Elimination Tabel
#24: Aston
#23: Hana
#22: Oliver
#21: Sasha
Sorry for taking longer on this episode. Due to the ongoing COVID-19 pandemic, I've been feeling a little down lately and it honestly killed my mood to write, but in the end, I got this episode done. I also originally hadn't planned for Sasha to be eliminated in this episode, but given her nervous and meek personality, as well as her inability to swim, it'd make more sense for her to be an early boot. But at least she will still appear on the aftershows, if that's any consolation.
Time for some review questions!
#1: What did you think of the challenge?
#2: What was your favorite part of the episode?
#3: What was your favorite obstacle?
#4: Who do you think should have gone home?
#5: Do you have any questions for Sasha at the next aftershow? Again, you can also leave questions for Alexneushoorn and Blaineley, as they will answer those too.
And for anyone left reading, I'll see you next time on the aftershow! :D – Alexneushoorn
