The sun shined down brightly on the scrap island, and it especially beat down on Cali-Tokyo, where both Aaron and Dana found themselves holed up in their office with the air conditioner blasting. The girl was only wearing a purple tank top, white shorts, and her goggles, while her older counterpart was wearing a white tee with black shorts, though he kept his hat on. Probably not the best decision that one could've made, considering how hot it truly was.
"Last time on Total Drama: Scrap Island," Dana started, sounding as if she was exhausted, "Maggie and I got to hang out over at the dock, where we met up with the thirteen returnees from the previous season. Blaster, Brittany, Buck, Caleb, Calvin, Celeste, Daniel, Larida, Margaret, Mitchell, Theodore, Valerie, and Yves all came back, feeling a bit skeptical once they saw Maggie with me. After I assured all of them that we would be getting a new co-host, he arrived...with three other people that I didn't even know about! Maggie hired Sunny and Capone to be her co-hosts for the aftermath of our season, and Sunny's bodyguard, Franchesco, tagged along for some added security. Then, we got to meet the real co-host, Aaron! Say hi, Aaron!"
"Oh!" Aaron piped up, sounding as if he was caught off guard, "H-h-hello, everyone!"
"After he arrived, the nine new contestants showed up, those being Alice, Bunny, CJ, Fridge, Max, Mitzy, Ronnie, Vernon, and Zane, and got to meet the veterans! Some people, like Caleb, formulated plans to use some of the newbies, while others, like Margaret, tried to pummel one of them into the dirt. Unfortunately for us, Chris then showed up to try and get me to shake Aaron off and bring him back as my co-host, but I insisted that he could prove himself worthy of the position. Go ahead and tell them what we did next, Aaron."
"Ja! V-v-ve took zem to zeir lodgings, zough Zeodore and Alice vouldn't get on ze vehicle viz us. After zey all got to see zeir rooms, ve put zem in zeir first challenge of ze season: to find coins zat vould determine vat team zey vere placed on!"
"And once we finished forming our two teams, the Dustbowl Dingos and the Sandstorm Squirrels, Chris had no choice but to admit that Aaron would make for a fine co-host! And then...we got to send him home in our brand new Trampoline of Losers! It made for quite the funny exit. Now, the teams will face off in their first team challenge today! Who will take the first win? Who will be the first to leave? Find out now on Total Drama: Scrap Island!"
The camera suddenly flew into the sky, being struck by a massive chunk of debris and knocking it back to the ground, only to be picked up by a cute, blue and silver striped robot with one wheel that it used to move.
"Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine," the robot pointed the camera at Theodore at a cafeteria table, pounding down energy drinks like a champ, his eyes twitching from the caffeine while Larida looked concerned for his health.
"You guys are on my mind," at a nearby table, Ronnie was arm wrestling Mitchell, winning easily and slamming him straight through the table, causing Celeste to run over and start screaming at the powerhouse.
"You asked me what I wanted to be and I think the answer's plain to see," the robot wheeled its way out of the cafeteria, showing a junkyard with Vernon scribbling something down in silence, until Blaster popped out of one of the garbage piles, scaring him and making his papers fly off into the sky.
"I wanna be famous!" Vernon ran after his papers, eventually passing by Margaret and Daniel as they were making out while surrounded by four intense looking mafia thugs, one who spotted the camera and chased after it.
"I wanna live close to the sun," the robot wheeled away from the mafia goon, passing by Zane and Bunny, the latter who was bugging the boy by holding a mic up to his face, which he tried to shove away.
"So pack your bags, cause I've already won," Fridge carried Caleb on his shoulders across from Aaron, who had Dana on his own shoulders, the two up top slapping at each other as the robot passed by.
"Everything to prove, nothing in my way, I'll get there one day," as the robot continued to roll around, it finally made its way out of the junkyard and to the remnants of Cali-Tokyo, where Buck was attempting to profess his love to Yves, who was all flustered by the gesture.
"I wanna be famous!" nearby, atop a pile of rubble, Brittany was making fun of Valerie, who let out a sigh and pushed her off the pile and onto the ground.
"Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na," near the pile, there was some barrels of toxic waste, which inspired Mitzy, who scribbled something down on a blank sheet while Alice was absolutely appalled by the sight.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!" CJ was being chased by a massive and terrifying robot with six legs and two clawed arms, which then noticed the robot with the camera and chased after it, causing it to drop the camera.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!" the camera feed cut to the aftermath stage, showing an Calvin trying to kiss Max, who, out of embarrassment, belched right in his face.
The two were soon shoved aside by Capone, who rolled his eyes at them, while Sunny, next to him, waved happily to the camera with a huge smile on her face. Maggie popped up between the two of them, an acoustic guitar around her back, hugging them both tightly and snickering while the camera panned out to show the whole cast sitting in the risers, with the little robot sitting next to Caleb, and Franchesco standing off to the side with a glare fixed on Maggie.
As the heat continued to beat down on the island, Aaron and Dana remained holed up within the air conditioned office. It helped a little, but in the end, it was still incredibly hot. While they sat in the somewhat refreshing air, somebody suddenly barged right on into the room. She had tanned skin, and she was well toned, being the type that you would see in the great outdoors quite often. Her eyes, as well as her hair, were both a sharp green color that mesmerized people passing by. Her hair itself was quite long, and unlike it usually was, it did not have a hat on over it, so it dragged along the floor as she walked. She wore a light blue tank top, grey cargo shorts, and heavy duty, black sandals.
"Dana!" the girl cried out the hosts name, sounding as if she just saw her family getting kidnapped, "Help me!"
"Bella?" Dana replied, wondering why the girl was here.
Soon enough, the botanist tackled her boss to the floor, shocking Aaron, who had yet to meet her. Upon looking up at her, Dana noticed that her eyes were full of tears, and she looked like a general mess, which was unusual for her.
"Woah, Bella! What happened to you?"
"I lost him!"
"Lost what?"
"My Aporocactus flagelliformis!"
"Bella, what did I say about using scientific names that you know nobody else knows?"
"He's a cactus! Rat Tail Cactus!"
"Okay, where did you last see it?"
"In the city ruins!"
"In the- why were you bringing it to the city ruins!? You're not even supposed to be here right now!"
"But I got him and I thought he was really cool, so I wanted to come show you and then you would say, 'Oh, that's really cool!' And I would say, 'Yeah, he is really cool!' And then we would hang out and talk about plants, even though you never listen to me when I talk about them, but I got distracted by something I thought was a plant, but just turned out to be scrap metal, and now he's gone!"
"Okay, okay...calm down...and get off of me."
"Okay!"
Bella hopped up from the floor, allowing Dana some room to breathe, although she herself was still pouring tears down her cheeks like no tomorrow. Aaron still felt a little out of the loop, and the host was just now noticing this.
"Oh, I almost forgot that you don't know most of the people from my company," Dana turned her attention to Aaron, "This is Belladonna, but we call her Bella. She's our environmentalist, so she makes sure we aren't doing too much harm to the planet with our projects."
"O-o-oh," Aaron glanced over at Belladonna, "Nice to meet you."
"Hi!" Belladonna greeted him, but immediately went back to crying to Dana, "What are we gonna do!? I won't be able to go on if I can't find him!"
"Okay!" Dana spoke out over her sadness, "What if...I don't know, I can make the contestants look for it-"
"Him!"
"Him, fine! I make the contestants look for him as a challenge. They'll definitely find him."
"Really!? Thank you, thank you!"
"It's fine...just go outside for now, please. I'll be with you in a moment to call everyone for their challenge, okay?"
"Okay!"
Wiping her tears from her face, Belladonna felt a lot more comfortable about her current predicament than she did before. She happily skipped out of the office, leaving Dana and Aaron alone once again.
"Ugh, we really should have some sort of assistant for things like this," the host said with a sigh, which caught Aaron's attention.
"Oh!" he piped up from his silence, "Vat if I hired one? I-I-I'm sure zat someone vill vant to be a part of ze show..."
"That's not a bad idea, Aaron. Just...try to get someone who won't cause any issues, okay? We don't wanna deal with some nutjob and have all the contestants leave."
"Okay, Miss Dana. I vill g-g-get right on it!"
"Thanks, Aaron. Now, I'll be dealing with my employee and her issue, so I'll catch you later. The sooner we get that assistant, the better."
"Yes ma'am!"
With that, Dana waved goodbye to her co-host, and left the room, shutting the door behind her. Aaron walked over to his computer, going to the show's website to put up an application for the assistant position.
Confessional
"I'm glad zat I can be of assistance to Miss Dana," Aaron said meekly, "Vater vas never zis nice to m-m-me...eep! Vater, if you're vatching zis...uh...I never said zat!"
Confessional End
Meanwhile, in the hotel that all the contestants were staying at, most of them were finding a similar issue with the heat, and were down at the pool. Yves sat in one of the chairs at the edge of the pool, wearing a white cover-up pool dress over a white string bikini, hiding her body from most onlookers, while Buck sat on the edge of the pool itself, dipping his legs in while wearing a red, plaid pair of swim trunks. Nearby him, CJ swam around in the pool, wearing black swim trunks.
"Guys, you gotta try out the pool, for real," the skater boy called out to the couple, "I mean, I can't even tell that it's like a bajillion degrees out right now."
"I think a bajillion is kind of an exaggeration," the tired Buck replied, "Maybe a million, but a bajillion? Nah."
"I'd rather not," Yves answered the suggestion with her usual aggression to new people, "I don't...know you well enough to trust being in a pool with you."
"Eh?" CJ looked as if someone just called him a murderer, "But I-"
"She's just like that with every new person she meets. Trust me, it'll be a lil' while before she warms up to ya or anything like that."
"Ah, no problem, B-Dog and Y-Dog. I can be chill and wait for that time."
"Well...thanks," Yves turned away from him and looked over at the other end of the pool.
Being the deep end, it was bound to have way more people at it, having Celeste, Mitchell, Ronnie, Vernon, Zane, Valerie, Bunny, Mitzy, Calvin, Blaster, and Max all over there. Max, of course, just had to show everyone how amazingly she could cannonball, leaping into the air and crashing down into the pool. When she popped up from underneath the water, she let out an obnoxious laugh.
"Now, that's what I call a cannonball!" she boasted, just now realizing that everyone was staring at her, except for some of the boys. "What's going on?"
"Shield your eyes, Mitchy!" Celeste screamed to her boyfriend, revealing herself to be in a yellow one piece bathing suit that seemed to have a skirt over legs.
"Relax, I'm not gonna look," Mitchell rolled his eyes as he turned the other way, showing that he was wearing a white tee shirt with a pair of black swim trunks.
"Seriously, what gives, people?" Max asked again, a little annoyed that nobody had answered her the first time.
"You blew your top off," Ronnie answered, also turning away from the sight, wearing a black tank top with black basketball shorts.
"Huh?"
Without allowing her to expose herself anymore, Calvin leapt into the water, also wearing a black pair of swim trunks, to turn his back to her and cover her so nobody could look.
"Agent Grayson!" he called to her, "Your bikini came off when you hit the water! I'll just block the view while you put it back on!"
"Ohhhhh, I get it now! You guys are silly, it's just a pair of boobs, is all."
She chuckled to herself while she dove back under the water to find her red bikini top, eventually popping back up with it on.
"You're good to turn around now, Agent Muscles."
"Muscles?" Calvin blushed a little as he turned to face the girl, looking down at himself for a moment, "I don't- I mean-"
"Ha! You know, you're kinda funny, guy!"
"I don't know if I'm funny or anything like that, but I'm...uh...glad you think so?"
"Oh, come on Mr. Agent Man! Those agent names? Hilarious!"
"Oh! Well..."
"And you're kinda cute when you're all flustered like that. What, do you think I'm a catch or something?"
Max seemed to lean closer to Calvin, her eyes glimmering like the ocean in the moon, which caught him off guard, and caused him to blush even more. The sight made her laugh to herself loudly, even slapping her own knee to represent how funny she thought it was. It wasn't long before Calvin rolled his eyes at her, feeling a little embarrassed. He went to say something about it, but as she wiped the laughter tears from her face, the water suddenly bubbled behind her. She was usually pretty sure of herself and found humor in her functions, but for some odd reason, this time, she gained a look of shock.
"Uh, no need to be embarrassed!" Calvin assured her, trying to put on a cheerful face, "It happens to all of us!"
"Yeah...uh...I gotta go."
"Uh...alright then."
Max quickly dove under the water, swimming far away from Calvin and heading to the other side of the pool, leaving him both confused and concerned.
Confessional
"Gah, come on, Max!" she smacked herself in the forehead as she spoke, "You just met the guy, why are you getting all gushy about him already!? Stupid, stupid, stupid!"
"Agent Grayson is a pleasant change of pace around her," Calvin said, rubbing the back of his neck, "I mean, nothing against anyone else, but it's great to have someone who's really cheerful all the time around."
Confessional End
While the chaos in the pool was going on, Blaster sat off to the side, not wanting to get her arm and leg too wet and cause any damage to them. She wore a black swim shirt, with black swim trunks to match. Black seemed to be a popular color for everyone's swimwear. Ronnie approached her with that need for competition in his eyes, tapping her on the shoulder.
"Yo, Blaster," he greeted her as she turned to face him.
"Hey, Robot!" she waved to him with a sweet smile on her face.
"Gah, I told you! It's Ronnie!"
"Oh, sorry, Robert!"
"You- okay, nevermind that! You, me, that pool. A race from end to end. Winner gets to be crowned Supreme Winner of Everything."
"Oh...uh, okay! I just gotta...uh..."
Ronnie watched the girl sit down in one of the seats at the edge of the pool and start to take her leg off, causing his jaw to drop in astonishment.
"No! No, no!"
"Huh? But I thought we were-"
"It's not fair if you have a handicap, man! I need to find something we can both do without having to worry about something like...that."
"Er, alright?"
Ronnie walked away from the girl, grumbling to himself as he did, clearly annoyed by the predicament.
Confessional
"I want this competition between me and Blaster to be a fair one," Ronnie started, wearing an annoyed look on his face, "I'm not gonna challenge her to something I know I'll have the advantage in. That's just messed up."
"Rocky seems like a really cool guy!" Blaster chirped, "He always wants to hang out with me! What a pal!"
Confessional End
Also in the pool, Bunny back paddled around, enjoying the relief from the heat. She wore a black one piece bathing suit, one with no straps, and rather than having the iconic buns that she usually had, she had her hair in a ponytail. Near her, Mitzy leaned up against the ledge of the pool, wearing a pink, one piece swim dress with white accents on it. The two had found good friends in each other since their arrival on the island, and spent a lot of time together since that point.
"Hey, Mitzy," Bunny called over to her friend in her thick accent, "Whaddya think the next big challenge is?"
"Huh?" Mitzy thought about it for a second, tapping her finger against her chin, "Well, probably something to do with cooling off."
"You think so?"
"Yeah, I mean, it's been horrendously hot these past few days. I don't see why Dana wouldn't do something like that."
"I actually think the opposite."
"You think they're gonna make us warm up? That's crazy!"
"Maybe, but think about it. This is Total Drama we're talking about. The hosts aren't particularly nice to their contestants all the time. Plus, imagine the views they would get by watching us all deal with heat exhaustion."
"Ugh, I can't stand people like that. Taking advantage of others in a bad situation is the worst thing someone can do."
"Oh, me neither! I have a blog that exposes people who do that, it's just unforgivable."
"You do? That's neat! Most reporters would love to spin the truth to get themselves more attention, no offense."
"Oh, none taken! I seriously can't stand those types of reporters! That's why I try to be different and show everyone the truth!"
Confessional
"This was a lie," Bunny said with a smirk on her face, "What? Don't judge me!"
Confessional End
"Sweet!" Mitzy swam over to her friend, "I'm glad that someone like me is here! We would make for a pretty awesome duo, don't you think?"
"Heck yeah, we would! Oh! What would our team name be called?"
"Team name?"
"You know! Like in comic books! All superheroes have team names if they work together!"
"Oh! Well, I don't know, I haven't given it much thought. You...read comic books?"
"Yes, of course! I do all the time!"
"That's interesting! I never would've thought you to be a comic reader, again, no offense."
"I love them! I've seen yours before, too! Very interesting stuff."
"Oh, heheh! Thanks!"
"Of course, friend! Oh my gosh! We should give each other nicknames! You can be...Mitts!"
"Mitts? Like oven mitts?"
"Uh huh!"
"Um...why don't we just stick to our regular names, yeah?"
Mitzy laughed awkwardly while Bunny shrugged.
Confessional
"Again, a lie," Bunny noted, inspecting the lens of her camera, "Why would I spend my time reading comic books? There's a lot of interesting things happening in the real world that I could be paying attention to! Why am I lying to Mitzy? Hm...necessity!"
"Bunny is really cool!" Mitzy said with a proud smile on her face, "I was worried that I was gonna be taking on all the baddies by myself, but with her around, I've got at least one helper!"
Confessional End
While the group tried to enjoy their time at the pool, it was cut short by the inevitable ringing of the loud speakers turning on. The shrieking noise, of course, made Blaster's ears ring, and she covered them to block the noise. Seeing this made Zane think to himself, wondering why she was like that.
"Attention!" Dana called out to everyone through the speakers, "It's time for your first team challenge of the season! That's right! Meet me outside to find out what it is! Oh, and the loser of this challenge will have to send somebody home tonight!"
The speakers shut off, and Blaster stopped covering her ears, shaking her head off and starting towards the door with most of the other survivors in the group. Zane continued to think to himself, sticking behind while everyone else headed out, and pulled Valerie over to him as she tried to leave.
"Zane?" she looked up him in confusion, "We gotta go out there...what are you doing?"
"I need you to think about this for a second," he started, still glancing over at Blaster as she left the room, "How do you get far in a competition like this?"
"Me? I don't get far...I get voted out early for being an annoying bum..."
"Come on, Val! That's no way to think about this, you need to have a plan!"
"A plan...?"
"Yeah, some sort of strategy! Think about it this way: Blaster won last season, right?"
"Yes..."
"And that would make her an easy target for us, yeah?"
"I guess so...but why would we target her? Isn't that...kinda mean?"
"No, it's not mean. We don't go after people to be mean, or to be rude. We go after people to make sure we can go ahead. It's the principle of this competition."
"But...won't they be mad at us...?"
"No, they shouldn't. We aren't cheating in anyway by picking people off with our strengths against their weaknesses."
"I don't know..."
"Anyway! Blaster is too easy to target. Plus, Ronnie's already got his sights set on her, right?"
"I guess so...he does ask her to compete against him a lot."
"Right. So, using that knowledge, is going after Blaster worth our time?"
"...No?"
"Yes! Good job, you're a quick learner. These first few days, we lay low, and then, once we know our game plan, we strike. If you do it well enough, you won't have to worry about getting in any drama. It'll be a fair game."
"Oh...I see..."
Confessional
"Valerie makes for a good ally," Zane noted, proud of himself to have picked her to join his venture, "She's a good listener, and she isn't completely against my plan. Plus, she needs someone she can confide in. Come on, she treats herself like garbage."
"Using people's weaknesses against them," Valerie mumbled to herself, looking down at the floor, "That still doesn't sit right in my mind...but if it means I won't lose first..."
Confessional End
The two teams made their way outside, each of them boiling in the heat, all except for Alice, who seemed to be perfectly fine, even wearing her usual clothing despite the temperature. Theodore glanced over at her from his own team, sighing as he looked down at himself and seeing that he put himself in his swim trunks to beat the heat. They were black as well, with "#TeddyOnTotalDrama" on the back of them.
"Ugh, it's too hot!" Larida complained, still wearing her regular clothing, like Alice, though knowing this was a bad decision.
"Why are you wearing a sweater in this heat?" Vernon asked shyly, revealing himself to be wearing a white undershirt and a pair of blue swim trunks, "That doesn't seem too good for this weather..."
"I didn't bring a bathing suit!"
"Why didn't you- what!?" Margaret facepalmed at Larida's dumbfoundedness, wearing a black bikini top and bottom, and shouting over from her own team.
"I just didn't know we would need one."
"We're on an island, lady!"
"Don't call me 'lady,' missy!"
"Don't call me 'missy!' Shouldn't an old coot like you be in a nursing home right now?"
"Why, I never!"
"Guys, chill with the fighting," Daniel interrupted the two, wearing a dark blue wetsuit with sunglasses, "We can all get along, right?"
"No!" the two yelled back at him, getting him to shut up instead.
Confessional
"I sure am glad I'm not on that criminal's team!" Larida said in an irritated tone, "How can anyone stand being around her when she's got an attitude like that?"
"Imagine having a handicap like Larida on your team," Margaret rolled her eyes, "Absolutely useless in a game like this!"
Confessional End
"Everyone!" Dana snapped as she called their attention, showing that Belladonna was next to her, but not Aaron. "Ahem, we have a challenge to get to, so if you could hold off on the arguing, that would be great."
Margaret and Larida rolled their eyes at each other, neither of them to pleased with the other.
"Now, you're probably wondering why we've brought you out here on this sweltering day. Well, my friend here, Bella, lost something very special to her, and we need your help getting it back."
"Yes!" Belladonna spoke up, still frightful of what may have become of her precious plant, "You see, he can take the heat for sometime, but with temperatures like this, he'll only be okay for so long!"
"Wait, he?" Alice asked, unsure of what the girl meant, "You mean you lost a person or an animal?"
"No, my precious Aporocactus flagelliformis!"
"Gah! We need to find him right away! This place is too hot and dangerous for a plant such as him!"
"Thank you for understanding!"
"It's the least I can do! Rest assured, I will bring him back to you! Safe and sound!"
"Oh, thank you!"
The two teams watched in amazement as the two girls bonded over the situation, Theodore finding himself even more attracted to Alice as she spoke. Watching someone being so passionate about something that another person may disregard as unimportant just came off as a redeeming quality to him.
Confessional
"I already knew that Alice was hot," Theodore started, fanning himself off, "But watching her talk about how much she wants to save that plant...she's a keeper! If only she liked me..."
"This is a dire situation!" Alice said with a glare on her face, "And the host is turning it into a game? That's just awful! I will save this cactus, no matter what!"
Confessional End
"Actually," Dana continued, "Finding...'him' is the challenge today! You'll have to search high and low through the scrap heap of Cali-Tokyo to search for the cactus! Whichever team brings 'him' back safe and sound will win the first challenge, and get to watch the other team eliminate someone in the Colosseum of Shame tonight! And your challenge starts-"
"Wait a minute," Fridge interrupted the host, he himself wearing blue swim trunks, "Where is that funny talking guy? Uh...Ron!"
"Ronnie's right there, you dim-" Caleb cut himself off, wearing a white tee with green swim trunks, "I mean...you good ol' pal of mine!"
"No, not Ronnie. UhRon!"
"UhRon?" Brittany giggled to herself in a leopard top bikini that caught some of the boys' attention, "You mean Aaron?"
"Oh, yeah! Him!"
"Actually, glad you all asked!" Dana smiled at the question, "We're having him hire an assistant for the show right now. He'll have one here by tonight, so everyone who is still in the game will get to meet them! They'll be here all season to help out, so I hope you get along with them, whoever they are. Now then, anymore questions?"
Dana looked at the twenty-two contestants before her, each of them standing still without a raised hand.
"No? Then, without further ado, your first challenge starts...now!"
Immediately after the host gave the signal, Alice burst off into the distance like a jet taking off of a runway, astounding the group that she had left behind.
Confessional
"How is that even humanly possible?" Vernon asked himself, shocked that someone could run that fast, "She must really care about her plants..."
"A girl that fast is sure to get attention from Mitch," Celeste hissed, her face red with anger, "I won't let that happen...I just won't!"
Confessional End
While the challenge had started outside, Aaron was still in the office, scanning through pages of applicants that he had called for an interview. There was three of them, each arriving by a jet that he himself had called in. He heard the first knocking at the door, and looked up from his desk.
"O-o-oh, come in!" he spoke slightly louder than usual, trying to appear confident for the applicants.
The door swung open, revealing a boy with chestnut skin behind it. His hair was black, and kept in a neat taper fade, and his eyes were brown. They seemed to pierce Aaron's very being, causing him to shudder upon making eye contact. The boy was of an average height, though not as tall as Aaron himself, and he had some muscle to him. He wore a red basketball jersey, one which had a white number one on the front and the back of it, tight fitting jeans that had some rips and tears around the knees and thighs, and red air force ones that didn't have a speck of dirt on them.
"Ah! You are Jacque, ja?"
"I am indeed," the boy spoke with a Southern accent, and a grin on his face that made him look...arrogant, to say the least. "You needed an assistant, and I can definitely be that guy."
"Ah, vell...have a seat at ze desk viz me and I'll ask you vat I need-"
"Ha, ya know, buddy, that's a funny accent you got going on! Where the heck did ya pick that one up?"
"Uh...I-I-I'm from Germany..."
"Do all German people talk that funny? Hot damn, that's really entertaining!"
"...Right. Vell, vy don't you just wait out in ze hall and I vill let you know if ve pick you, ja?"
"But I ain't even had a chance to-"
"It's quite alright, I'll make my decision later and keep you in mind."
"Oh...well, alright then."
Jacque turned back to the door and headed out through it, snapping his fingers in annoyance.
"Can't believe I done messed up my chances already! Come on, Jacque! You're smarter than this."
Confessional
"A big no-no on him," Aaron said, an irritated look on his face, "Hopefully zese next two vill prove to be better options."
Confessional End
While Aaron continued on with his interviews, the teams had already started their search for the cactus, with Alice being nowhere in sight. Buck, Yves, and CJ stood on top of the wreck of Dana's mech, where the skater boy himself had found his coin in the previous challenge. Upon scouring it, Yves noticed that Buck wasn't his usual self, and that he was moving around much slower than usual. She walked over to him, taking hold of his hand in hers, which grabbed his attention.
"Hey, you okay?" she asked, looking up at his face with the calm, sweet eyes that she had.
"Huh?" he shook his own head, a little disoriented, but otherwise fine. "Oh, yeah! Just...dandy!"
"Why does it sound like you aren't just dandy then?"
"I swear, I'm as pleasant as a plum. Just a little teensy weensy bit tired, is all."
"That's a lie. I hate it when you lie."
"Okay, okay! Ya know how I was tellin' ya 'bout how the whole...er...Jay thing's been on my mind, lately?"
"Yeah, I vaguely remember you mentioning that."
"Well, I ain't had a wink of sleep for the past...oh, I dunno...five days?"
"Five days!?"
"Gah!"
"Why didn't you tell me!?"
"I didn't want ya to worry 'bout me."
"Well, I'm really worried now! You need to relax off to the side, you shouldn't be worrying about a challenge right now!"
"But if we don't find that darn cactus and our other teammates find out 'bout me slacking off-"
"Don't you worry about a thing, B-Dog," CJ interrupted the worrying Buck by skating over to them, making skating on a bunch of scrap look way easier than it is. "I won't be voting you out if you need to catch some Z's."
"Ah! Ya heard all of that?"
"Yeah, bro. You talk waaaaaaaay louder than you think you do."
"Okay, well...that's still only three people. I could-"
"Oh, actually four!" Larida's voice called up from behind the group, somehow having heard the conversation as well.
"Larida? I really talk that loud? Ya weren't even up here with us!"
"Yeah...you kinda shout a lot, Buck."
Yves, CJ, and Larida started giggling about the boy's unintended loudness, which caused him to plant his head in his hands in shame. He let out a long, drawn out sigh before looking back up at the group.
"Y'all really are a bunch of knuckle heads, ya know that?"
"Hey, man," CJ went on with a goofy smile on his face, "If being a knuckle head helps keep some cool dude in the game, then I'm the knuckliest head there is!"
"I don't think 'knuckliest' is a really word, sweetie," Larida said sweetly, patting CJ on the back.
"Buck, please," Yves continued, "Just try and relax, we'll make sure to win this challenge so you won't have to worry about a thing."
"Alright...if ya say s-" Buck tried to finish his statement, but the relief he got from his friends being so eager to help him caused him to knock out on the mech.
Confessional
"Buck and Yves were both on my team last season," Larida started with a look of determination on her face, "Of course, I'll do my best to help them! It's my motherly duty!"
"Buck is pretty cool," CJ noted while also clipping his fingernails in the confessional, "Wouldn't wanna lose someone so chill in the first elimination."
"Let's face the facts here," Yves spoke in a very monotone voice, "We may not win this challenge. If that happens...Buck will be screwed. I don't want this, of course, so I will ensure that he doesn't get eliminated tonight. I will do anything...and I mean anything, to keep him in. His mental state shouldn't be what gets him out of this game, it isn't right."

Back in the office, Aaron's second guest was just arriving. This time, it was a girl, one that was about the same height as Jacque, with a thin, hourglass type body. Her skin was well tanned, and her eyes were blue, adding to her natural beauty. She had long, blonde hair that was straight and went down about half the length of her back. She wore a pink shirt, one with the words, 'Time to Go Shopping,' inscripted on the front, with white jeggings, and silver high heels that were quite glittery. She carried an all about me attitude, and her one hand had a blue diamond ring on it that shimmered in the light. She looked at Aaron as if he was a beach hottie, which confused him greatly.
"U-u-uh," Aaron stuttered, per usual, "You are Miss Maya, ja?"
"Oh, I totally am!" she replied, giving off a bimbo blonde type vibe. "You're that hunk who told me about this job-y thingy, Aaron, right?"
"Ja, zat vould be me. V-v-ve need someone who can handle a lot of computer vork and ozer zings like zis. Vould you be able to do so?"
"Oh, I dunno! Sounds kinda tricky! But I can be really pretty and boys like that! You like that, right, Mr. Aaron?"
"Um...zat isn't really vat ve need for z-z-zis position."
"Whaddya mean? Am I not hot enough for the job?"
"Zat...really is unimportant."
"No, you're unimportant!"
"Gah!"
"I'm over here, all dolled up and everything, and you're saying that my looks aren't important!? What a joke! You probably like girls based on their personality, don't you, you wimp?"
"I...um..."
"Well, whatever, Aa-runt! I don't need this dumb position, I can go somewhere else with my gorgeousness! Good day to you, wimp!"
The girl left the room in a huff, slamming the door behind her and causing Aaron to slink down in his chair, rubbing his brow in irritation.
"Oh dear," he mumbled to himself, feeling as if he had failed to do what Dana asked of him, "If I can't find someone good for zis position, Miss Dana won't be very happy..."
With that, another person knocked on the door, quite gently, in comparison to the other two interviewees that Aaron had dealt with. He sighed, knowing that this was the last option he had.
"Ja, come on in."
The door swung open, causing Aaron to perk up in his seat to appear more presentable. Meanwhile, out in the scrap heap, the groups were still looking for the cactus, without much luck. Daniel had stumbled around by himself, ending up near where Alice was. He was pretty sure that he wasn't being followed or watched by anyone, but little did he know that Yves was quite nearby, watching him as she hid behind small heaps of scrap here and there. Somewhere else on the field, Caleb was bossing Fridge around, forcing the giant to lift up huge pieces of rubble and look underneath them for the cactus.
"Come on, Fridge!" Caleb shouted at his partner, "I know you can do better than that! You just aren't trying hard enough."
"I dunno, Friendleb," Fridge replied, struggling to pick up a chunk of some building in front of him, "This might be too heavy for me."
"Too heavy for you!? No way!"
"What do you mean, no way?"
"You're the Fridge! You can lift anything if we chant your name in unison!"
"What? I've never heard of that before..."
"Well, it's true! Vernon, come here!"
"Huh?" Vernon looked up from where he was searching, and slowly approached the two, immediately feeling quite awkward. "Y-yeah?"
"I need you to help me with something! We need to chant Fridge's name in unison so he can lift this big piece of building!"
"Um...that'll work?"
"Sure it will! He is the Fridge, after all!"
"Okay...I guess..."
The two boys who stood near the giant both cleared their throats together, getting ready to chant his name, when suddenly, Blaster lifted the piece of the building on her own, causing all three of them to gasp in utter shock.
"Hm...not under here," she mumbled to herself before dropping the rubble back onto the ground and pinching Fridge's fingers.
"Yap!" the football player yelped, pulling his now swollen fingers out from under the rubble.
"Oh, I'm so sorry! Are you hurt bad? I can get Dana and she'll let you got to the nurse-bot!"
"Har har har, no need for that! I'll be just fine if Friendleb and Bernie chant my name in unison! They said I'm the Fridge! Right, guys?"
Fridge turned to look back at his two teammates, though they were both sharing a glance that said, "I'm not sure what to do in this situation."
"Uh...maybe," Caleb mumbled, "It can't hurt the Fridge to go back to the nurse for now...but once you get back, we can try this again!"
"Oh...okay!"
With that, Blaster grabbed Fridge by the arm, ignoring the fact that she was being kind to someone on the other team, and led him away from the other two, taking him in the direction of Dana.
Confessional
"Fridge really is some sort of superhero," Vernon mumbled to himself, "I'd be screaming in pain if that happened to me...though maybe not. I'd try to hold it in so people wouldn't have to worry about me..."
"I picked a good sidekick," Caleb said, completely sure of himself, "But there are way too many crazies roaming around this island to get things done the right way! Like, come on! Blaster lifting that rubble? How does that even work!?"
"Heehee," Blaster giggled, "That was super fun! You know, except for the part where Fridge hurt his fingies. But otherwise, it was awesome!"
"My thumbs look like tomato carrots now!" Fridge said, proudly holding up his thumbs to show how red and swollen they were.
Confessional End
Elsewhere, Brittany and Theodore were searching for the cactus, seeming to be a lot closer to the hotel itself than the rest of the group, though Celeste and Mitchell weren't very far off. The two who had a distaste for each other, despite being on the same team, could barely stand to look at each other, or work together at the least. The dug through some rubble, but it was really all Theodore. Brittany stood off to the side, watching him do all the work.
"You know, it wouldn't kill you to help a little," he commented, which caused her to throw a rock at his head. "Hey!"
"It actually totally would kill me to do it," Brittany replied in her snobby tone, "That is peasant work, and I'm no peasant. You can keep digging around while I stand guard."
"Are you actually gonna stand guard, or are you just gonna keep throwing things at me when I-"
He was cut off by another rock, this one hitting him in the rear and causing him to leap up from the ground, jumping facefirst into the side of the hotel before falling back down to the ground and landing on a bunch of rocks. This caused him to leap up again, slamming himself back into that wall before falling again, and the vicious cycle continued while Brittany watched and laughed at him.
Confessional
"Great, now my butt hurts!" Theodore complained as he held an ice pack against his rear, "Brittany is such a...such a...ugh, a butthead! Curse me for having a family friendly channel!"
"Theodore is a whiney little baby," Brittany commented, clearly unphased by him yelling at her earlier, "I mean, it's just a little rock. It can't hurt that bad."
Confessional End
The couple nearby was searching more near the front of the hotel, thinking that Belladonna may have dropped it as she was going inside, assuming she even went inside to begin with. Mitchell scanned the ground while Celeste climbed the wall of the building, which he hadn't even noticed. He turned around to see if she was nearby, unable to find her and causing him to wonder where she went off to.
"Celeste?" he called her name, looking around some more, "Where'd you go?"
"I'm up here!" she shouted down from the wall, causing him to look up and his eyes to widen.
"What the hell are you doing up there!?"
"I'm looking for the cactus!"
"But you're gonna fall if you aren't careful!"
"You'll catch me, though!"
"I don't think you should place your bets on that!"
"Okay, fine! I'll come down, just give me a second."
"Okay, just be care-"
Mitchell cut himself off, finding that, while she shifted spots to climb down, she was now directly above him...wearing her skirt. He felt his face growing red like a tomato, and he immediately turned the other way. Margaret noticed this, having come closer to the area they were in, and walked over to him, nudging him in the side.
"Yo, you perving on your own girl over here?" she asked, clearly being sarcastic, but he had a hard time realizing it.
"I'm not! I just happened to- it wasn't on purpose! She was just-"
"Step away from the boy!" Celeste shouted as she suddenly came crashing down in front of Margaret, landing like a superhero before a villain.
"What's your deal?" Margaret crossed her arms, annoyed by Celeste's overprotectiveness. "I'm just talking to him."
"Yeah, well...you don't need to! The only person Mitchy needs to talk to is me!"
"That's kind of crazy, don't you think?"
"You're kind of crazy! You're a mob boss!"
"And...? I mean, last time I checked, I at least let my boyfriend have some room to breathe."
"Ooooh! Are you saying that I'm clingy!?"
"Uh...yeah?"
"Well, I'll show you clingy! I'll...cling onto your stupid hat!"
Celeste quickly snatched the hat from Margaret's head, causing the mobster's eye to twitch in anger as Mitchell had no choice but to watch as the two girls bickered with each other.
"You give that back, you psycho!"
"Why should I? Mafias steal things all the time, I'm just doing something that you do!"
"We don't steal, we claim what's rightfully ours."
"That sounds like fancy talk for stealing!"
"Oh, you're really testing my patience, lady!"
Mitchell sighed, backing away from the two as they went on and continuing his search elsewhere.
Confessional
"Note to self," Mitchell started, an annoyed look on his face, "Don't let Celeste see me talking to other women."
Confessional End
Mitzy, Calvin, Bunny, and Max all searched in one giant scrap heap, with Zane and Valerie watching closeby. Bunny and Mitzy floated around each other, each of them looking together near the base of the pile, while the ever-adventurous Max went up near the peak of the pile, with Calvin not too far behind her. As the two from the to her team watched them, Zane felt the need to point somethings out to his partner.
"See that, Val?" he gestured to Mitzy and Bunny as he spoke to her, "You can tell that those two are going to be working together for a great deal of these challenges. They'll likely make for a good duo when they're together, but if you let them bond for a good while, being separated from each other will make them feel like something is missing. They can try to do their best without each other, but it just won't feel right unless they're doing it together, you know?"
"But they're friends...is it right to get between friendship?" Valerie asked meekly.
"It isn't the nicest thing to do, no...but it helps improve the odds of you and I getting further. We don't want to sabotage our own team, that would get us an early disadvantage. We want to sabotage the enemy at whatever chance we can get. They'll lose more and more people, and we can easily secure a spot in the merge."
"I guess that makes sense...but it just doesn't feel right."
"I understand that thinking like this can take some time to get used to...but when you have something that pushes you to do everything you can to win...well, you can't just ignore it. Now, what about those two up there? What can you tell me about them?"
"Um...I think they might like each other a little bit. I mean...at least based on what happened at the pool earlier."
"Okay, okay, good start. What else? Think about them specifically."
"Okay...Max is kinda loud...she likes to go into things headfirst...she's something that I could never be: confident."
"There you go! You know exactly what you need to know to outwit her now!"
"I do...?"
"Yeah, think about what you said. Think about what could come of it."
"Well...if she's really confident...I don't know, she might be likely to want to do things her own way rather than her teams...maybe to prove herself? And then...if things went wrong...they would be more willing to vote her out..."
"Exactly! You're gonna get a lot better at this sort of thing soon enough, don't you worry! Good job for your first guess."
"...Thanks."
Confessional
"That's what I'm talking about!" Zane cheered, "She's doing so good as my partner! If I can have someone like this along with me for this competition, we'll be a shoe-in for the finale!"
Confessional End
While everyone else was still searching for the cactus on their own, Yves stayed watching Daniel while he looked for it. She knew that Alice, who was nearby, was hot on the trail of it, and as such, had to stick around to watch things go in the favor of either her team or theirs. Daniel himself tossed bits and pieces of rubble off to the side, looking underneath them and around them, but not having any luck. All the while, Alice was simply inhaling the air, trying to pick out the sweet scent that she knew the cactus would bear. Suddenly, her eyes twitched, and she burst off in a direction near Daniel, scooping something out from the rubble and holding it up high into the sky.
"Aha!" she cheered for herself, "I got it!"
"Ah, man," Daniel scuffed the ground with his shoes, "Gotta say, finding that with just your sense of smell was pretty cool."
"Huh? I don't care about being cool! I just want to make sure that no harm comes to this little guy!"
"Well, I still think its cool. I guess to the winner goes the spoils, go on back with the cactus."
"I will do that, but not because you told me to! Come on, fella, let's get you back to your mommy."
Alice started up her internal engine again, rushing back off towards where the hosts were while Daniel shrugged. He started to whistle a funky tune to himself as he made his way back, knowing that at least getting close to retrieving the cactus would earn him some points with the team.
Confessional
"Gotta say," Daniel started, "Some of these newbies are actually really neat people. I mean, Alice has got her nature sense thing, which is awesome, and Mitzy and her comics? Pretty unique, I'd say. I really wish I could be on a team with Margaret, but being able to meet the other newbies and hang out with some of the folks I didn't get to be on a team with last season is just as good."
Confessional End
The host and her environmentalist held the cactus in their hands together, with the green-haired girl tearing up in pure joy from it being found, while Alice stood nearby, looking pleasantly happy for a change.
"Yes, this is him alright!" Belladonna sniffled, "I was so worried about you, you rascal! Never leave mommy ever again!"
Belladonna happily took hold of the plant on her own, nuzzling up against it and allowing the prickles on it to stab her, causing some of the contestants, and Dana, to cringe at the sight. With that, she waltzed off, leaving only those who were residing on the island.
"Well, I guess that's all said and done then," Dana said with a sigh of relief, "Alice takes home the first win for the Dustbowl Dingos!"
"Woohoo!" Max cheered, patting Alice on the back, "Nice job, Alice!"
"Ah...well, thanks," Alice replied with a blush on her face, not sure how to accept the praise.
"Seriously, that was awesome how you just went like 'fwoosh,'" Mitzy added, "Like some sort of Earth-loving speedster...we could call you...the Whipvine!"
"Uh...okay?"
"Thanks to you, Agent Flores," Calvin butted in, "We all stay safe another day! Quite impeccable-"
"Okay, I get it! You're all overloading my brain!"
While the successful team cheered for their victory, Daniel was just returning to his own team, where he found pretty much everyone glaring at him, except for Theodore, who wasn't sure of what he should think.
"Uh...hey guys!" he greeted everyone with a smile, "What's up?"
"What's up?" Brittany scoffed at him, "How could you act so casual after what you did?"
"What I did?"
"Yeah," Ronnie growled, "How could you just hand that girl the win? Literally!"
"I'm not sure I know what you're talking about..."
"Oh yeah?" even Larida had lost her usual sweet tone, "Yves said she saw you hand the cactus to Alice!"
"What!? Yves, I never did that! Why would you say that!?"
"She wouldn't lie about something like that," Buck butted in, a glare shooting through Daniel's soul. "Why'd ya do it, man!?"
"I didn't...I...guys, come on! This is a joke, right? Haha, you got me good!"
"We aren't joking, bro," CJ said, his arms crossed all the while.
"Come on...someone tell me this isn't happening right now...Teddy! You know me, you'll vouch for me?"
"...I don't know...none of us really saw you for the entire challenge," Theodore mumbled, looking down at his own feet.
"Guys..."
"We'll see you at the colosseum," Zane said, surprisingly with no aggression in his voice.
Confessional
"I don't get it," Daniel started, his face still full of shock, "Why would she say something like that? I never did anything to her...I thought we were chill..."
"...I don't like this feeling," Yves mumbled, "But...I had to do it. The only other person who they could've voted for was Buck...right?"
Confessional End
The Squirrels found themselves on the benches of the Colosseum of Shame, with most eyes still glaring at Daniel, who sat down in shame by himself. Theodore felt uneasy at the thought that Daniel actually could've thrown the challenge, it just didn't sit right in his mind. At the podium, Dana stood with her shabby little robot buddy, who was now holding up a tray with ten small packages on them. The Dingos watched from above in the rows of seats, with Margaret being blissfully unaware of what was going on down there.
"Well, Squirrels," Dana started, speaking in a confident tone to try and match up to how confident Chris was, "You've lost the first challenge, and that, of course, is what made you end up down here today. Here's how this works. You all casted your votes in the ballot box when you entered the colosseum. I know who's still in, and which one of you is the loser. My little friend here, Brobot is his name, will be tossing these rations out to the survivors that actually survived this challenge. When I call your name, your safe, but if you don't hear your name, you'll have to walk your sorry butt on over to the Trampoline of Losers and bounce your way off of the island! The first survivor who's safe...is Buck."
"Oh, sweet molasses," Buck said in relief, catching his ration.
"Next...Larida...Blaster..."
"Yippee!" Blaster cheered, catching her ration happily.
"Alright!" Larida squealed in joy as she caught hers.
"Zane...Valerie..."
"Neat," Zane commented as he caught his, "Though I wouldn't have expected to place this low, anyway."
"Oh...cool," Valerie mumble, catching hers without any hint of joy on her face.
"Ronnie...Theodore..."
"Of course I'm still in," Ronnie said as he caught his, "The winner can't leave just yet."
"I didn't lose first?" Theodore looked shocked, allowing the bag to hit him in the face. "I-...I'm still in!"
"CJ...and Brittany."
"Oh, word?" CJ grinned as he caught his, and for some reason, he shoved it under his beanie. "Saving that for later!"
"Obviously," Brittany rolled her eyes as she caught hers.
Yves and Daniel glanced at each other, both with a look of pure sadness rather than anger.
"Yves...Daniel...you two are the first bottom two of this season, which is no bueno. Only one of you can stay here, unfortunately...and that person is..."
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"...Yves."
Yves sighed as the ration flew to her, but she didn't bother to catch it. She simply shift to the left a little, allowing it to pass her by. Daniel wasn't surprised by the outcome, but he was still in somewhat of a dismay about what was going on. Meanwhile, Margaret was astonished.
"What!?" the mobster shouted down from the seats above the losers. "Are you all out of your minds!? You just voted of one of your best teammates, you asshats!"
"Babe, it's okay!" Daniel yelled back up to her, "Look, I may be out now, but there's still a chance for you! I'm not sure what happened between me and my team, but it doesn't matter! You can make it all the way through to the end, I just know it! Do me proud!"
"I...I...yeah...I'll do ya proud."
The mobster crossed her arms, sitting back down in her seat and tipping her reclaimed hat over her face to hide her tear-filled eyes. Daniel rose from his own seat, turning to face his team before having to meet a bouncy fate with the trampoline that had just unveiled itself.
"Well, guys...sorry I let you down, I guess. Best of luck to you..."
"Yeah, whatever!" Brittany scoffed, "Just go bounce away or whatever."
Daniel sighed, turning away from his former team to get on the trampoline. He started to bounce on it, the look of sadness not leaving his face for a second. With that, Dana pressed the button on her remote, causing it to sink into the ground while he was in the air. He came back down, doing the mega bounce that Chris had before, and launching off into the distance, screaming all the way. Suddenly, as Dana was letting the ground cover the trampoline back up, Aaron burst into the colosseum, panting from the running that he had just done.
"Aaron?" Dana was a little shocked to see him like this, "What are you doing?"
"An assistant!" he blurted out, "I-I-I got an assistant!"
"Oh! That's wonderful! Are they on their way to the island now?"
"Actually, she's already viz us. Miss Ivy, please introduce yourself, ja?"
"Sure," a girl's voice came from where Aaron had entered.
The two teams watched as the assistant stepped forth, revealing herself to be...quite eccentric, to say the least. She was pretty short, though not as short as Dana and Caleb. She was closer to Blaster in height. Her skin was tanned, showing that she either spent a lot of time outside, or she lived somewhere very warm. Her eyes were a calm, brown color, but they were quite literally overshadowed by a lot of black eyeshadow. Her hair was dyed violet, and in a spunky hairdo with half of her head shaven. She had a silver bullring nose piercing, as well as several gold hoops and studs in her ears. She wore a black tank top, one with white scratch marks all over it, red skinny jeans with tears at the knees, and black, calf high platform boots. Aside from those, she also had red wristbands on both arms, and black biker gloves. She was intense looking, but she spoke very calmly.
"Sup, I'm Ivy. Nice to meet y'all- oops! Let my accent slip a little there."
"Wait a minute...I know you," Bunny spoke from her spot in the risers, "You're Ivy Harett! Lead screaming of that super crazy metal band...I forgot the name of it."
"Oh, it's Bloody Prom Queens. I'm shocked that someone knows us, we aren't very popular in my homestate."
"Ah, Texas! That's right, screamo is an odd genre for Texas."
"Wait a minute," Buck interrupted, grabbing everyone's attention. "Ivy...Harett?"
"Uh...yeah?" the punk-looking girl stifled a chuckled, "That's my name."
"From...Texas?"
"Yup."
"Brown eyes...Harett...Texas...agh!"
Buck suddenly stumbled out of his seat, getting up to point at her in horror. It seemed that Dana realized just what the boy was thinking, as she had a look of fear on her own face as well.
"Your father wouldn't happened to be named 'Jay,' would he?" the host asked, trembling behind the podium.
"Uh...yeah, I think so. Mom said so, anyhow."
Suddenly, a lot of the group gained similar looks on their faces, realizing exactly what this meant.
Author Notes:
*It took me along time to finish this episode because I knew I was going to have to eliminate one of last season's previous final four, but I wasn't sure who it should be. I eventually decided on Daniel, thinking that he wouldn't have much story potential for this specific season, but perhaps next season will be more fruitful for him.
*And then there's the assistant that Aaron hired: Ivy Harett! I wonder how the cast will react to her being around them, but I can't imagine most of them will be too thrilled! Only time will tell!
*Thanks to Mr. Ruff for letting me use Jacque and Musical-Total Drama Nerd for letting me use Maya in this episode!
*Votes: Daniel - Yves, Buck, Larida, Ronnie, Blaster, Brittany, CJ, Zane, Valerie; Yves - Daniel; Nobody - Theodore
*Placements: No Placement - Chris; 22nd - Daniel
