"Collision Cour-tney" Total Drama All-Stars Improved episode 2
"Last time on Total Drama: All-Stars!" Chris narrated. "20 contestants across the previous seasons returned to Camp Wawanakwa for another shot at a million bucks, and were split into two new teams based on their past performance in other seasons, being the Heroic Hamsters and the Villainous Vultures! The first challenge was simple enough: Dive off a 2,000-foot cliff, snag a key in shark-infested waters, and then ride in a stroller to the new spa hotel; but in the end, Sierra's disturbing obsession with Cody gave the Villainous Vultures the upper hand in securing the first victory of the season, and the Heroic Hamsters had the Super-Fan be the first unfortunate individual to take the Sling Of Shame! Which team will win the challenge today? And which team will have someone sent away? Find out right here on Total! Drama! All-Stars!"
After the intro, we cut to inside the run-down cabin that the Heroic Hamsters had to sleep in due to losing the previous challenge. A mosquito flies from out of the open window and onto Owen's neck, where it begins draining his blood like a vampire. He starts tossing and turning.
"Meh… Mr. Donut, why does my neck feel so itchy?" Owen muttered. He then woke up to the mosquito, still sucking on his neck. He yelped and instantly smacked it off of him.
(Confessional: Owen)
(Compulsively itches his mosquito bite) "It's so annoying how bug bites are so itchy, yet you're not supposed to scratch them! At least it feels nice for a few seconds…" (stops itching and lets out a sigh of relief, only to return to itching soon after) "AAAHHH! ITCHYYY!"
(End confessional)
Brick is shown sleeping in the bunk above Owen, until his alarm clock starts up and he leaps out of his bed to set it off. Due to the alarm clock being so annoying to Mike, he gasped and soon changed into his grumpy old man persona, Chester.
"Ergh, would you darn kids keep the yammerin' down? I'm tryin' to sleep 'ere!" Chester scolded.
"Up and at 'em, soldiers!" Brick announced to his teammates. "We gotta be on our A-game if we want to win today's challenge!"
The rest of the Hamsters all woke up, feeling rather groggy due to being abruptly awoken by Brick's blaring alarm.
"Well, I will give credit where credit is due, that alarm is a rather effective way of awakening us!" Cameron complimented.
"It's effective at being loud…" a still tired Lindsay muttered.
"Seriously," Zoey added, "Couldn't you at least turn it so it can play something more endearing, like The Monkees?"
Nobody responded. Zoey looked around in astonishment. "The Monkees? You know, English rock band? Kinda like The Beatles, but… ah, never mind." She looked at the ground in disappointment.
"Anyways," Brick continued, "we lost the first challenge, and we don't want to lose another, so we'll have to be prepared for whatever Chris throws at us and do the best we can to insure our victory!"
"You can count on us!" said Zoey.
"Alright!" cheered Mike.
"I'm so in!" Tyler agreed.
Meanwhile, at the spa hotel, all the Villainous Vultures (Excluding Gwen) are sitting at a dining table eating food that's actually edible and tastes good for a change instead of the poor-quality meals Chef usually cooks.
"Man, being a villain is awesome!" said Duncan, his mouth full of pancakes.
"I know!" Scott replied. "And the best part, I actually got to sleep on an actual pillow last night! And let me tell you, that is way more comfortable than sleeping with a burlap sack that's usually full of animals like I have to back on the farm! Ever had a pillow bite your face? Ugh, it ain't pleasant."
Jo swallowed her French toast, then told her team, "Yeah, this is some good stuff we've got going on here, but we'll have to make sure that we keep winning if we want to keep getting this sort of treatment!"
"Well, I usually already get this sort of treatment given my social status!" Justin claimed.
"Whatevs." Anne Maria exuded. "Hey, anybody seen Gothball 'round here?"
"Actually," Courtney snidely answered, "no, I haven't. And I couldn't be happier!"
Duncan finished his food and said "Fine, I'll go look for her."
"Of course, you will…" Courtney groaned. Duncan just rolled his eyes.
Duncan then left the table and searched all around the spa resort for Gwen, but to no avail. He decided to check outside for good measure when he heard what sounded like sniffling. He looked down to discover Gwen sitting near the door, and crying into her arms.
"Woah, what's going on with you?" Duncan asked.
Gwen wiped away her tears and said weakly, "Well, I just, *sniff*, still feel bad about what happened last season between you and I, and I, *sniff* I want to try and say sorry to Courtney, but it's too late at this point because everyone hates me for what I did!" Gwen sobbed a bit more and then shouted, "I'm such a bad person!"
Duncan, who usually didn't care for anything, sat down beside Gwen feeling both worried and sympathetic for her. "Yeah, sorry you feel that way," he said, curling his arm around her, "I've tried explaining everything to Courtney, but she just ends up screaming at me for kissing you, so I tend to just steer clear of her."
"Do you think she'll ever forgive me?" Gwen asked.
"I doubt it." Duncan shook his head.
"Whatever." said Gwen, who had now stopped crying. "By the way, Duncan, I wanted to tell you this earlier, but I didn't have the time, so I'll tell you now."
"Okay, what is it?" Duncan asked.
Gwen inhaled and told him, "I think we should just be friends."
Duncan blinked twice in response to this. "What?" he said, confused.
"Don't get me wrong, you're a great guy and all, but I think we'd be better off as just friends rather than being together. I-I hope you understand." Gwen explained.
Duncan sighed. "I get it. And I'm sorry I was likely the reason Courtney hates us."
"It's okay," said Gwen, and the two exchanged a hug. After their hug, Gwen asked "On another note, I wonder how Lightning's holding up on Boney Island…"
On Boney Island, Lightning seemed to have forgotten about the Invincibility Statue and was instead hunting for some food. He used a twig to spear a fish and shouted "Ha! Struck by Lightning! Sha-bam!"
Before he could eat the fish however, Chef pulled up on the shore of the island with a barge and shouted through a megaphone, "LIGHTNING! YOUR EXILE HAS ENDED!"
"Cool beans!" said Lightning as he headed over to the barge.
Back on the main island, the contestants were standing on the beach waiting for Lightning to return. Once Chef came back with him, he tossed Lightning onto the shore, who then proceeded to rejoin his team.
"So, how was it, Jockstrap?" Jo asked.
"It sucked!" Lightning griped, "I couldn't even get my hands on any sha-food!"
"Any luck finding the invincibility statue?" Scott asked.
"No need, Lightning IS an invincibility statue!" Lightning proclaimed.
(Confessional: Jo)
"Another reason why I want him gone. He thinks he's all that and a bag of chips!" (Simultaneously rolls her eyes and facepalms)
(End confessional)
"Bonjour, mes campers!" Chris announced in a thick French accent. "Some of you will recall our season 3 Parisian 'Find And Build a Sculpture' debacle. Well, this time, our interns have buried 3D puzzle pieces all over the beach, with seven pieces per team. Find all your pieces and assemble them on your platform to recreate one of the landmarks visited on our world tour. First team to finish their puzzle wins."
"Sounds easy enough!" said Owen. "We got this!"
"Oh yeah!" Tyler shouted. He and Owen high-fived.
"Since the Villainous Vultures won the last challenge, they all get shovels." Chris explained, as ten shovels were soon thrown towards the Vultures. Most of them caught theirs, except for Courtney, who dodged the shovel flying towards her, and Anne Maria, who had a shovel collide with her hair and simply bounce right off of it without doing any damage to it.
"Good thing I brought extra hairspray!" Anne Maria stated before she sprayed more hairspray into her hair.
One of the shovels was about to hit Gwen in the face, but Lightning caught it just in time. This left Heather as the only villain without a shovel. "Um, hello?" she quipped at Lightning, "Shovel, please?"
"No way!" Lightning answered. He held one shovel up, and then the other as he explained, "When this one gets tired, I'll use this one!" Gwen winced as Heather took one of Lightning's shovels and hit him with it. She walked away with the shovel, which Lightning's head had left an imprint on. The camera then pans to his welted, dazed face.
Owen, who was walking towards his team's platform, then asked "Hey, where are our shov-"but before he could complete his sentence, the ground beneath him gave way, as he fell into a pit filled with crabs.
"AAAHHHHHH! STUPID CRABS!" Owen screamed as the crabs started pinching all over his body.
"I don't know why, but it gets funnier every time!" Chris cackled.
"Owen! Are you okay?" Zoey asked as she rushed to his side to pull him out. She nearly strained herself as she tried hoisting him for a good 50 seconds until he started lifting slowly from the hole. The rest of their team cheered her on. "Huhhh, I think I've got him!" Zoey exclaimed.
But when she almost had him back to the surface, however, one of the crabs leapt off of Owen's foot and clamped down hard on Zoey's nose. She screamed as she started flailing her arms, dropping Owen right back into the pit.
"GETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFFGETITOFF!" She started running frantically back and forth until the rest of the Heroes ran to their aid.
Most of the other Heroes grabbed hold of Owen to pull him up, but they mostly struggled. All the while, crabs were flying out and snapping at everyone. One crab latched onto Mike's leg, a couple of others tangled themselves in Lindsay's hair, and one even clamped Tyler's crotch, causing him to whimper in great pain. Nevertheless, they persisted.
Cameron held onto Zoey and pried the crab right off of her nose. She responded with a quick, loud, "Yowch!" They then joined the others in lifting Owen out of the pit. It took a few tries, but they eventually managed to pull him all the way back up, and plucked all of the crabs off his big body and themselves.
Owen let out a big "HUFF!" in relief. "Gee, thanks, you guys!"
"Not a problem!" Cameron replied.
"Wow, nice work there, guys!" said Lindsay.
"Indeed!" Brick then commended everybody's teamwork. "Way to push through your conflicts and help out your teammates in need, comrades!"
"Thanks, Brick." said Zoey, rubbing her nose, "Just as long as everyone's alright." When Zoey took her hand off of her hurt nose, the rest of the Heroes turned to her and gasped. Zoey looked confused. "What?" She didn't realize that her nose was swollen and bright red, but she did feel a tiny drop of blood fall to the ground. She didn't think much of it, though.
(Confessional: Owen)
"I like Zoey. She seems really nice! The others on my team are pretty cool people, too! Man, I love this show."
(End confessional)
Lightning saw what had happened to the Heroes and shouted, "No big thing for the Lightning!" However, as he took a step forward, a board sprung up and launched him, sending him screaming into his team's platform's crab pit.
"Oh yeah, and watch out for the booby traps I hid around this place!" Chris explained
"Sha-CRAAAAAAP!" Lightning screamed as a cluster of crabs launched themselves up at him.
Gwen winced at this. "Uh, is anyone gonna help him?" she asked. Her entire team looked at one another and started laughing uncontrollably. Gwen just glared in disapproval.
Lightning then pulled himself out of the crab pit and shouted, "Not funny!"
(Confessional: Anne Maria)
"Heh heh! And the funniest part is, that bozo got to the finale last time! If only I didn't think that, uh, "diamond" was real… Ah well, that was then and this is now, and now, I'm gonna win!"
(End confessional)
"Um, hey Chris?" Beth asked. "Shouldn't we get shovels too?"
"Sorry Beth, but shovels are for the winners only. You're just gonna have to use your hands!" said Chris.
"Oh, okay…" Beth mewled.
"Aw, so the challenge will just be more difficult for us." Cameron sulked, until he heard another voice.
"Worry not, Cameron!" Dawn, who was standing right beside the former Bubble Boy, put her hand on his shoulder. "I'm sure that we can still succeed even without an advantage!"
"Heh heh, thanks for the moral support, Dawn!" said Cameron, who was slightly blushing.
Dawn blushed right back and gave him a jubilant smile. "Anytime Cameron! I'm sure with your intelligence, our team can have a higher chance of winning!"
(Confessional: Cameron)
"Well, I'm glad I can get to know Dawn a lot better since we're on the same team! I mean, her mystical abilities could be helpful in challenges, plus she's really sweet, (Blushes) her hair is beautiful, her voice is adorable, and… (Eyes widen) Oh no… I think I LIKE her!"
(Confessional: Dawn)
"Cameron seems to be a very kind person. (Blushes) Plus, he's pretty cute… (Eyes widen) Oh no… I think I LIKE him! Well, I did sense in his aura that he might like me as well, so that should make this a bit easier, but I want us to get to know each other a bit better in the meantime."
(End confessional)
"Alright, campers, let's get digging!" shouted Chris before blowing into his airhorn. The Villains knew that they had an upper hand since they were given actual shovels, but the Heroes were still determined to win.
"Alright, soldiers, we need to come up with a plan if we want to succeed!" Brick announced, turning to his team. "Do any of you have any ideas?"
Cameron looked at Dawn, and a lightbulb went off in his head. "I have an idea!" Cameron announced, raising his hand.
"Permission to speak granted!" said Brick, curious as to what Cameron's plan would be.
"So, I think Dawn should use her mystical abilities to read the sand for any possible statue pieces, and then Mike can transform into Manitoba Smith and dig them up!" Cameron explained.
"Do you think that'll work?" Zoey asked.
"I would have to agree," Dawn added. "Even I still don't know the full scope of my abilities…"
"Ok, but you should probably try to see if you can do it." assured Owen. "It's like how I always use the bathroom before going to a movie!" The rest of the Heroes gave him a weird look.
"Um, very well..." said Dawn, as she placed her hand above some sand.
"Go, Dawn!" Cameron and Zoey cheered.
"Anything happening?" Mike asked.
"Shhh! Don't distract her!" said Zoey.
"My bad." said Mike. However, Mike, who was getting a bit impatient, gasped and turned into his grumpy old man alter-ego, Chester.
"Meh, darn kids these days bein' way to slow at everythin'!" Chester complained. "In my day, we'd be done with whatever it is that we'd be doin' by supper!" Zoey looked at Mike/Chester with a confused expression.
(Confessional: Zoey)
"Chester can be a bit… Difficult… But I can manage it! He kinda reminds me of my own grandpa back home! Except that one's a lot more political..."
(End confessional)
Dawn eventually stood up and told her teammates, "There is in fact a statue below where I'm standing!"
"Finally!" whined Chester.
Cameron pulled out a fedora and placed it onto Mike's head, causing him to gasp and transform into Manitoba Smith.
"G'day, everyone!" greeted Manitoba.
Cameron walked over to Dawn's location and said, "Manitoba, can you start digging right over here?"
"Right away, guvnor!" proclaimed Manitoba. He then started swinging his arms in a circle, getting faster and faster until he leapt at the ground, drilling right through the sand. He excavated the piece of his team's statue from the sand and placed it on the ground next to his teammates.
"Impressive, I must say." complimented Dawn.
"Ah, don't mention it, Sheila!" said Manitoba. Zoey looked at her love interest and smiled dreamily.
"I'll get it to the platform!" Owen announced.
Owen then rushed over to his team's platform before accidentally stepping on a booby trap (In this case, a spring platform), causing him to fly into the air and fall into the crab pit again while the statue landed on the platform.
"OW OW OW! WHY AND HOW HAS THIS ALREADY HAPPENED TO ME AGAIN?" Owen screamed.
"Heh heh, never gets old!" said a nearby Chris.
(Confessional: Owen)
"If I had a nickel for every time I fell into a pit of angry crabs during this challenge, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice."
(End confessional)
Meanwhile, the Villains continued digging until noticing the other team's progress.
"Oh, would you look at that, the heroes are already ahead of us." Duncan growled.
"Well, we might as well figure out a strategy aside from aimlessly digging." said Justin. Being the womanizer he was in seasons 1 and 2, he leaned towards Jo and asked her "How about you give us your input? You seem like you're just full of good ideas!"
Jo ignored his attempts to charm her and just answered, "Well, I dunno, maybe we should try digging a bit faster?"
"My goodness, what an idea! Why didn't I think of that?" said Duncan sarcastically.
"Just get to work…" Jo groaned.
Soon enough, Lightning hit a piece of the Villains' monument and shouted, "I got something!", digging up a piece of the Villains' statue in the process. He then rushed over to his team's platform and threw the puzzle piece onto it.
Meanwhile, Jo, who was in the mood to manipulate someone, walked over to Gwen and gave her some advice.
"Hey Gwen, watcha doin?" Jo innocently conversed.
"What do you want?" snarled Gwen.
"Oh, it's just… that Courtney. She's been a real pain in the butt for you lately, hasn't she?" asked Jo.
"Well, yeah." said Gwen. "I mean, you'd probably know since you told me off for kissing Duncan in the last challenge, but- "
"Well, I've thought about it." Jo cut Gwen off, "And yeah, what you did was pretty dirty, but if you let Courtney stay and bully you even longer, you'll probably be a target for elimination AND Courtney could become an even bigger threat later on! I mean, did you SEE that performance in season 2? Sheesh."
"Oh yeah…" said Gwen, recalling watching most of the season from home after being eliminated.
"So here's an idea: Next time Courtney gets all up in your business, just be assertive. Tell her that you're tired of her crap and maybe do something to embarrass her while you're at it, then she probably won't stay much longer!" Jo explained.
"Huh, I never thought of that… Thanks, Jo!" said Gwen.
"Yeah, whatever." said Jo. "Just don't tell her I gave you this idea. She might take it the wrong way…"
Meanwhile, Duncan, who was still digging, hit something hard in the sand.
"I think I got a piece!" he announced.
"Well don't just stand there, boy! Dig it up!" barked Anne Maria.
"Need some help digging?" Gwen asked.
"Alright, why not?" said Duncan.
(Confessional: Duncan)
"Is Gwen trying to flirt with me? Nah, she broke up with me this morning, so is there some other ulterior motive behind this? Eh, I'm probably just overthinking things."
(End confessional)
Courtney instantly noticed Gwen interacting with Duncan and became furious. "There she goes," she sneered, "Thinking she can just take my boyfriend and show it off to me."
"Yes, it is unfortunate when love turns to poison…" said Alejandro.
"Okay, so she stole your boy toy, boo-hoo, are you gonna do anythin' about it?" asked Anne Maria, annoyed at Courtney's whining.
"Actually, yes! Observe…" said Courtney, shoving Anne Maria as she walked over to where her nemesis was standing.
"I don't like where this is going," said Anne Maria.
"Well, I do! This'll be interesting." Heather remarked.
At the spot where Duncan and Gwen were digging, they finally unearthed another piece of their statue and handed it to Justin, who in turn ran over to the Villains' platform to hand it to Lightning.
"Well, well, well, if it isn't the boyfriend kisser in the flesh!" Courtney mocked.
Gwen rolled her eyes and sighed. "Courtney, that was four years ago, just let it go."
"Time doesn't excuse you from taking Duncan from me!" Courtney hissed.
"Look, Courtney," said Gwen, "What I did was stupid, and I didn't know you and Duncan were still together at the time, so that's my bad on my part. But the way you've treated me, while understandable, has been absolutely disgusting, so I wouldn't say either of us are innocent here. Now can you please stop being a jerk to me for something we could've easily talked about?"
"I get it, you would've just rubbed it in my face that you kissed Duncan! None of what you'll try and do in a desperate attempt for forgiveness will work!" Courtney disparaged.
"I'm not ASKING for you to forgive me!" cried Gwen. "I'm just asking that you move on from this!"
"Move on? MOVE ON FROM BEING CHEATED ON?!" screamed Courtney.
"Ugh, this is clearly going nowhere…" Gwen moaned.
"Wrong. It's going in a direction of pain!" shouted Courtney, who then proceeded to shove Gwen.
"Oh, so that's how you wanna play it?" fumed Gwen, who shoved Courtney back in return.
"Oooh, I like where this is going!" said Heather.
"Of course, ya do…Drama Queen," Anne Maria groaned, raising an eyebrow.
"D-did you just… PUSH ME?" snapped Courtney.
"Hey, at least now we're even." Gwen remarked.
"Yeah, but YOU'RE gonna be in EVEN more pain!" Courtney, thundered, as she shoved Gwen to the ground. However, upon falling, Gwen sprained her left wrist.
"OWWWWWWW!" screamed Gwen. "WHAT IS YOUR PROBLEM?!"
Chris and Chef, who were both nearby, heard Gwen shrieking in pain. "What was that?" Chef asked.
"I dunno," said Chris, "But I'm gonna go over there and check out what's going on."
A single tear rolled from Gwen's eye. She gave a sort of war cry as she sprung right back up, claymore kicking Courtney in the chest. "OW!" Courtney stumbled back as she yelped in pain. She started growling, and then told Gwen, "Oh, you've really done it now, Pasteface!"
In return, Gwen shouted, "YOU'RE CRAZY!"
Courtney then glanced down at Gwen's arm and saw that her wrist was bent in a way that it wasn't supposed to, making her shocked and also a bit worried.
Chris headed towards the digging area to see that Courtney was still beating up Gwen, with the other Villains watching but not intervening so as to not face Courtney's wrath.
"Ok, what's going on here?" asked Chris.
"I'll tell you what's happening! This (censored) is beating me up just for doing the challenge!" cried Gwen.
"She did it with the boyfriend she stole from me!" whined Courtney.
"I thought Gwen and I broke up though…" stated Duncan.
"And now I think I sprained my wrist because of her!" said Gwen, showing her arm to Chris.
Chris examined her arm, with a few "Hmmm"s and "Uh-huh"s every now and again.
"Yep, looks like you messed it up pretty good!" Chris determined.
"Me? THIS WAS COURTNEY'S DOING!" shouted Gwen.
"I don't care who started it!" snapped Chris. "Gwen, Chef will take you over to the medical tent to get your wrist checked out."
"Ah, well hopefully it isn't TOO serious." said Gwen.
Before she left, however, she turned to her nemesis and said "And Courtney…"
"What?" asked Courtney.
"Have fun being eliminated tonight!" Gwen mocked.
"Wait, but we haven't lost yet!" said Heather. "At least I don't think we've lost…"
"Au contraire mon frère!" said Gwen, pointing at Owen, Brick, Tyler, and Zoey carrying their remaining statue pieces to their team's platform. Brick pulled himself up onto it and his teammates handed their pieces to him, allowing him to fully complete the team's statue.
"AND THE HEROIC HAMSTERS WIN!" Chris announced. The Hamsters cheered, and the Vultures groaned.
Meanwhile, Zoey walked up to Chris. The host jumped back in surprise from her puffed-up nose.
"What? What's everybody looking at? Is something wrong?" Zoey's voice sounded stuffy when she said this. Chris held up a mirror to her, and she went, "Huh?" before putting her hand over her mouth. The swelling in her nose became even worse than it was before. A little bit of blood was even trailing down her lip. "Oh, man!" she cried, "Nobody told me it was this bad!"
As Zoey wiped the blood from her nose, Duncan took notice of her injury. He couldn't help himself and instantly bursted out laughing. "Oh, huh huh ho! Did Christmas come early this year, Rudolph?" Not amused by Duncan's remarks, Zoey clenched her teeth as she slapped him hard on the back of his head. She then angrily walked away, with Duncan saying, "Okay, okay, sorry. Geez."
"Yeah…" said Chris, "so I guess I'll have to send you to the medical tent as well for that scarlet sniffer. CHEF!"
"Thank you…" Zoey uttered in response.
He then continued, "Anyways, Villainous Vultures, I'll be seeing you tonight for one of you to be sent packing!"
"Gee, I wonder who that'll be…" Duncan remarked, with him, Anne Maria, Justin, and Jo all staring at Courtney, who looked down at the ground remorsefully while rubbing her left arm.
That night, at the elimination, the Heroic Hamsters sat in the peanut gallery while the Villainous Vultures sat in the usual elimination area, which was a sharp contrast from their victory in the previous episode.
"These seats are really comfy!" Lindsay pointed out.
"Thanks, that came directly out of our merchandise sales!" said Chef.
"Merchandise?" asked Beth, confused.
"Before the Vultures go and vote, we have two things to do first." Chris explained. "First and foremost, who among the Heroic Hamsters will be exiled to Boney Island for the night?"
Beth raised her hand and exclaimed, "I will!"
Lindsay was shocked. "What?"
"I didn't do too much in the challenge today, so I guess this is my way of making it up to you guys." said Beth.
"Hey, it's ok, Beth!" assured Zoey. She had already arrived back from the medical tent. Her voice was still stuffy, but her nose was now wrapped in a hefty amount of gauze (which she still bled through). "I'm sure there'll be plenty for you to do in the next challenge!"
This made Beth feel a bit better. "Thanks, Zoey. Besides, I've been there before, so I might have an easier time finding the invincibility statue there!"
"Sounds good to us!" said Brick.
"Just try not to bring back any cursed stuff this time, okay?" Lindsay stated.
"Will do, Lindsay!" Beth affirmed. She then followed Chef to the dock, where the latter would take her to Boney Island.
"So, did you want to tell us something else?" asked Alejandro.
"Indeed!" said Chris. "Gwen has returned!"
Chris pointed to Gwen, who had just returned from the medical tent as if on cue. She was wearing a navy-blue elastic cloth around her wrist, and seemed more burned out than anything else.
"They said I should be okay to participate despite my injury." Gwen explained. "And it'll be worth it if I get to see Courtney in that slingshot!"
"Not like anyone'll be surprised." Courtney groaned.
"The following Vultures are safe for tonight: Alejandro, Justin, Scott, Anne Maria, Lightning, Heather, Jo, and Duncan." Chris threw each safe member of the team a marshmallow when he called their name.
Chris then explained to the remaining Vultures why they were in the bottom two. "Gwen and Courtney, you two are the only Vultures left. Gwen, you provoked Courtney into attacking you by working with her former partner. And Courtney, you assaulted Gwen for said actions despite her best efforts to explain herself, and now she has a sprained wrist! Apparently, the police department of your hometown has already sent out a warrant for your arrest due to your actions!"
"Say what now?" asked Courtney.
Chris then said, "Anyways, the last girl safe tonight is…" Gwen became worried at what might happen to her, while Courtney simply sat where she was with a solemn look on her face.

"…Gwen!"
"YES!" cried Gwen, catching her marshmallow, and eating it.
"Oh..." sighed Courtney.
"Courtney, the tribe has spoken!" said Chris.
"Wait, before I go, I need to say something to Gwen!" Courtney announced.
"Ok, just make it quick, we're on a tight schedule." Chris told her.
Courtney turned to Gwen, who stared at her angerly. "Gwen," Courtney explained, "I know this probably doesn't mean much by now, but I'm sorry for everything I've done to hurt you. You were right, we could've easily talked about this and sorted out our differences, but I just let my anger issues get the better of me and, well, look where we are know!"
"Listen, Courtney." Gwen responded. "When I came back onto this show, my second biggest goal outside of winning was to try and make things right with you. I really thought we could talk things through and maybe even become friends again, but I suppose I was naïve to think that, because all I learned from today is that you're exactly what you said I was: A new Heather." Courtney simply looked down at the ground and sighed.
Chris then dragged her over to the slingshot with Courtney not protesting or putting up a fight. "Any last words?" he asked.
"I guess I should've seen this coming." said Courtney in a grave, defeated tone.
"Alrighty then!" said Chris, as he released Courtney from the elastic part of the slingshot.
"NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!" Courtney screamed as she flew into the horizon. Gwen let out a sigh of relief as that happened.
"Well, it seems someone's pretty happy about this!" narrated Chris. "And now we've lost both a hero and a villain, whose obsession for another person got in the way of them winning. Plus they were both on the chopping block with a previous finalist! Heh heh, what are the chances? Who will join them next? Will Cameron try to interact with Dawn more? And can Beth return from Boney Island without cursing her team? Find out all of this and more next time on Total! Drama! All-Stars!"

NOTES FROM AUTHOR: Second episode complete! This was a bit easier to write than before, especially since Mal is not introduced here and the big bad will be someone else. Some of you might be catching on as to who it might be, but I'll give it a little more time before I confirm who it is.
Anyways, my reason for eliminating Courtney is simple: She got ANNOYING. Especially after the love triangle started in World Tour. As such, I originally wanted Courtney to stay for slightly longer, but that would've just started to drag, so I decided the best way to do her for this season is eliminating her very early on. Don't worry though, I'll try and have more of the eliminations after this be more meaningful for the story rather than for my own personal bias, such as for progressing character arcs or as a result of the main antagonist manipulating other players, but some of them will get out earlier simply due to me not seeing too much potential in them story wise.
Thanks again for reading, a huge thanks to my pals from the Nemma Nation on Reddit for helping me write this (Especially DrewBisc and You_2_Cool), and stay tuned for the next episode!
