"Last time on Total Drama Revenge of the Island," Chris recapped, "Our teams battled in the Smash, Splash, 1-2-3 X-Dash. We said hello to Fang again, and we also said hello to Samey, who was really Amy. Shawn helped win it for the Rats, but lost out in the game of love with Jasmine. Fortunately, Jasmine was saved at the elimination. And just to be on the safe side, we hurled off both Samey and Amy. Though Amy got a monster haircut before she left." He laughed at this memory, unaware Mike was behind him. "Monster!" Mike pushed him into the water. "Will you can that talk, McLean?" he told him before he walked off. Chris got up to the dock, though he was soaking wet. "We're down to our top ten," he continued, "but that won't last long. Who will fall next? Find out right here on Total...Drama...Revenge of the Island!"

It was early morning. Dave was setting up a picnic with lots of fresh fruits and vegetables. He was also holding a blue flower with a white swirl. He smelled it and sneezed.
Confessional: Dave (Toxic Rats)
"I thought a picnic would be the perfect way for Sky to tell me what she wanted to tell me last night. It's pretty romantic, too...if you can get past the fact that every bite of food might have bugs in it. But I'm not going to think about that."
End Confessional
Dave was setting the finishing touches when Shawn walked over and scowled. "Move it!" he told him as he pushed Dave aside. "This is mine now!"
"But I was..." Dave began.
"This little love scene is now for me to use." Jasmine came storming up to him. "Jasmine! I got this for you and-" She just grabbed Shawn and pulled him off the ground. "You know what?" she seethed.
"What?"
"I missed on purpose yesterday so your sorry butt wouldn't get kicked off." She dropped him. "And I nearly got the boot because of it!"
"And let me guess: you want me to return the favor? Sorry, Outback, that ain't happening." Dave could only wince as Shawn's sharp cry of pain was heard. Jasmine stormed off, leaving Shawn wincing as he held his crotch.
Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)
He was still holding his crotch. "She's got some kick. And it hurts! Eeee!"
Confessional: Jasmine (Mutant Maggots)
"How could I let my feelings for Shawn distract me yesterday?! Obviously, he doesn't care about me, so...it's time to get ruthless. No more thinking with my heart!"
End Confessionals
As soon as the duo left, Sky walked up to where Dave was brushing himself off. "I heard you wanted to hear what I had to say," she told him.
"Sit down," Dave told her. "Got some of your favorite foods here." Sky grabbed one of the tomatoes and bit into it, red juice flowing down her cheeks. "Thanks," she replied after swallowing her bite. "So, I have something very important to say, and I trust you more than anyone else on the island." She looked around to make sure no one heard her before leaning in to Dave's ear. "We have a werewolf problem," she whispered.
"Yes," Dave agreed, a little confused. "We should totally get on that. But first, I have to ask you something. If we lose again, can I trust you to boot Lightning next?"
"Why Lightning? We should go after Shawn, not Lightning!"
"Hear me out. The merge will be coming soon, and we need to take out the competition before it gets too hard to beat later."
"Like Lightning's a threat." Just then, Lightning did a somersault off the cliff and gave a mutant gull a high-five before landing perfectly in the water, all while Dave and Sky watched him. Dave gave Sky a 'I told you so' look.
Confessional: Sky (Toxic Rats)
"Ugh, sometimes I hate it when he's right!"
End Confessional
"I might," Sky decided, "but tell me you'll take care of you-know-what afterward."
"Sure," Dave replied. Unknown to the two of them, Mike had just hid behind a tree just as Sky left. "I'll take care of the 'werewolf problem' soon enough," Dave muttered to himself. Mike gasped at what he heard.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"Of all the people to find out, it had to be Dave! It could be worse, though. All I have to do is convince him to keep his mouth shut and things will smooth over." He gulped. "I hope."
Confessional: Sky (Toxic Rats)
"Vampires and werewolves have been at each other's throats for centuries! I don't why people think of them as good guys in all those movies. They're cocky, mean, ill-tempered, and just plain nasty! How Mike survived all those eliminations I don't get. Everyone knows what Mike is all about! Why isn't he gone already?!"
Confessional: Dave (Toxic Rats)
"Hmm...'werewolf' must be a code word for who Sky wants to boot next! Of course! She must meant Shawn, and she used the word 'werewolf' to cover it in case he overheard us. Pretty slick, if you ask me."
End Confessionals
Zoey was climbing a tree to meet up with Cameron, who was already sitting on a branch. "Sorry about the hassle," Cameron told her, "but this may be the only place with any privacy, aside from the cameras." He pointed at them before continuing. "We need to decide who to boot if we lose again. I feel so bad voting off Samey. I just don't want any more good people like you or Brick or Mike to get kicked off next!"
"Then we should convince Mike and Brick to vote off someone like Jasmine next," Zoey replied. "If that's okay with you." However, Shawn, who was down below with a noose, overheard the duo. "That's not okay," he muttered.
Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)
"I was resuming setting up snare traps to catch zombies or Fang when I overheard those losers' plan to boot Jasmine. If I warn her of that, maybe she'll drop that whole 'I'm mad at you' thing."
End Confessional
"Maybe we should make sure we have an ally on the other team," Cameron reasoned. As he talked, a rope was lasso'ed around the branch he sat on. "There's only ten people left. We have to merge soon." The branch broke, sending Cameron falling and Zoey hanging off the broken branch. Shawn pushed Cameron into a snare, which flung him away. "Today's forecast: geeky showers with a chance of nerd," Shawn joked. He moved to catch Zoey. "And girl."
"Shawn?" Zoey wondered as he held her.
"Hello, Zoey. Hey, I had a killer idea, totally up your ally, here goes: how about I help you take out the biggest threat to your team? Mike, mayhaps?" Zoey only laughed at this until she saw that his expression hasn't changed. "Oh, you're serious," she realized. Shawn just dropped her to the ground. "Think about it," he told her. "He's caused more eliminations than you can count. Besides, do you want to go up against a powerhouse like him? You're not exactly buff, you know."
"I am not voting off any of my friends! Sorry, Shawn." She walked off.
"Your call, Zoey."
Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)
"Getting to Zoey obviously isn't working, so I need a plan B. Hmm..."
End Confessional
Cameron landed near where Lightning was practicing with a basketball. "Two points!" Lightning shouted as he shot the ball into the net.
"Lightning?" Cameron groaned. "Will you be willing to join an alliance with me and Zoey?"
"Sha-yeah!" Lightning yelled out, ignoring him as he shot another basket.
"Really? Cool!" Cameron walked off, though he stepped into another snare. Shawn stepped up to where Lightning was. "Oh, Lightning?" he began. "Will you be ditching those losers and help me get rid of Mike?"
"Sha-yeah!" Lightning ignored him and shot another basket.
"Perfect! So long, runt!" Shawn walked off. Unknown to him, Mike was hiding in the branches of a nearby tree.
Confessional: Lightning (Toxic Rats)
"The guys on Team Lightning kept yapping in my ear, but I shut them out, 'cause I was in the zone!" He twirled the basketball on his finger. "Wonder what they said. Don't matter. Lightning's going long, all the way to the finals! Sha-bam!" He tossed the ball at the camera.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"I heard what Shawn was planning. As long as the Maggots win, I don't have anything to worry about. But I can't help but be concerned for Dave and Sky. If Bolt Breath and Crazy Zombie Guy team up, they could force a tiebreaker against Sky or Dave and win! I got to keep them from teaming up! Time for the underdog play."
End Confessionals
Mike walked up to Lightning. "Lightning?" he spoke up. "A word with you, please?"
"Yeah!" Lightning yelled out, ignoring him.
"Well, I think that- are you even listening?"
"Yeah!" Mike thought a moment before he got an idea. "Did I hear someone say that Jo was the best athlete ever?" he teased.
"What?!" This took Lightning off his guard. The ball slipped out of his hand and rolled over to Mike. "Lightning's the best! Whoever said that is gonna-"
"Wait. I just need your attention." Mike looked around. "Shawn, Sky and Dave are planning to vote you out."
"Sha-what?! No way! I bet that scrawny kid is behind this! He's going down!"
"But with all those votes against you...too bad you don't have that statue, you know? Kinda looks like this?" He held up a statue with Chris's head.
"Give me that!" Lightning snatched the statue from Mike. "I'll get rid of that weakling with this! Sha-bye-bye!" As Lightning ran off, Mike gave a little smirk.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
He was carving a piece of wood with his claws. "Please. I would never help that kind of guy. What he doesn't know is that the statue's a dud. Though it doesn't take much to trick someone like Lightning." He looked at the piece of wood in his hand. "With my claws, I can carve faster, but I'll admit Scott's got me beat when it comes to quality. Huh. Never thought I would give Shark Bait a compliment."
End Confessional
"Challenge time!" Chris announced as the final 10 stood in front of the cabins. "First bit of news, the teams are not merging." Shawn, Cameron and Zoey moaned as Sky, Dave and Mike breathed a sigh of relief. "But as a reward for reaching the top ten," Chris continued as an intern rolled out a TV, "I'll let one member from each team speak to a loved one from home. Maggots, you're up first." All the Maggots looked at each other. "I volunteer Cameron," Mike quickly said as he pushed Cameron forward.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"The only family I'm close to is my Uncle Manny and my Uncle Vito. My Aunt Svetlana's busy teaching gymnastics in Sweden, my Gramdpa Chester's busy doing ice-fishing in Alaska, and both my parents passed away when I was little. Besides, Cameron more than deserves a chance to talk to a loved one from home. Guy's the brains when it comes to the challenges."
Confessional: Cameron (Mutant Maggots)
"Wow. Never knew Mike can be so kind. He's actually a good friend once you get to know him."
End Confessionals
The screen then showed a woman with a brown afro and a purple dress. "Mom!" Cameron gasped in joy.
"Cammy-Bear," she told him, "you look so different! Is that muscle tone?"
"Indeed it is. I haven't puked due to exercise in weeks!"
"That's great, honey. But I have bad news. Purified air cost so much. If you don't win the million, we'll have to deflate your bubble!"
"Seriously?!"
"Bye, Cammy-Bear! Don't forget to floss!" The screen turned off, leaving Cameron worried. "Don't worry, Cammy-Bear," Lightning teased. "You can floss after I win!" He pushed him aside. "I volunteer for my team!"
"But-" Sky spoke up.
"If we're going to get Lightning out," Dave whispered to her, "it's the least we can do. Right?"
"I guess." The screen then showed a man with his back to the camera and surrounded by reporters. "It's Pops!" Lightning gasped.
"My boy's gonna win the whole million dollar sha-bang!" Lightning's dad said to the reporters, ignoring Lightning.
"I'll do you proud, Pops!"
"He's the best son an athlete could ever hope for!"
"You know it, Pops! Over here!"
"What if Lightning doesn't win?" a reporter asked.
"Impossible!" Lightning's dad declared. "I'll bet my championship rings on it!"
"What?" Lightning gasped. "You're kidding, right?"
"He'd better win, 'cause without these rings, I'm nothing. Nothing!" The screen switched off. "Pops? POPS?! NOOO!" His shout could be heard all across the island. "Thanks, Lightning," Mike said, annoyed. "Deaf in this ear now."
"He was kidding. He had to be!"
"He sounded pretty serious," Cameron spoke up. Lightning tried to tackle him but Mike kept the duo apart. "Save it for later," Mike told him.
"He's DONE!" Lightning shouted. Cameron ducked out of the way just as Lightning tackled Mike. The two fought a moment. Soon, the two were locked in a chokehold. "Let go!" Mike told Lightning.
"You let go!" he shot back.
"LET GO!" The two passed out from the chokehold. "Are they okay?" Zoey asked, worried.
"Those two are tough," Dave told her. "They'll bounce back."
"Anywho," Chris continued, "Since you've been abused so flagrantly, today's challenge is a super-safe fun challenge!" Everyone cheered at this, save for Mike and Lightning, who were still passed out. "Yep, get ready for bubbles, flowers, and cotton can- WAAAAAHHHHH!" Chris stepped in a snare that flung him right into the communal bathrooms. "Eww..." Zoey, Cameron, Sky and Dave winced.
"My snare-" Shawn began, "I mean, Mike's snare, through Chris into the outhouse!"
"My snare?!" Mike spoke up as he came to.
"Like I said," Dave muttered to Zoey. Chef opened the bathroom door and recoiled from the smell. "I need five interns and a firehose, A.S.A.P.!" he barked. "We'll get you out of there soon!"
"Those ungrateful puppets just crossed the line!" Chris angrily shouted. "Remember your nasty challenges, Chef? The ones that got the red light? Yeah, that light just turned green!" Chef gave an evil grin as he closed the door. "I'll bring the pain!" he said. He gave an evil cackle as thunder rolled. Everyone looked up to see that the sky was clear. They then saw that three interns were making the sound effects. "Okay, can it!"
Confessional: Topher (Mutant Maggots)
He was in a little ball. "I heard what Chef's challenges were when I was an intern, and they're horrifying!"
End Confessional
Everyone was behind four different stoves. "Listen up, dirt bags!" Chef barked. "I'm gonna push you till you break. Then, I'll take the filthy little broken bits and give them another good breaking! No wimps are gonna make it to my finale." He turned to the others. "Do you understand?!"
"Yes, sir!" Brick saluted.
"Alright. First challenge, the cook-off!" Shawn scoffed at this. "A cook-off?" he wondered. "What's next, lawn bowling?" A pan was tossed at him, hitting him in the head.
"Shut it or I'll shut it!" Chef warned him. "Bring in the TD Classic Competitor." A chubby intern rolled in DJ, who was blindfolded and strapped to a trolley. "Hey, it's DJ!" Cameron realized. Chef removed DJ's blindfold. "No," DJ begged, "Not here! I vowed to never be back as long as there was breath in my lungs!"
"Your contract disagrees, Dough Boy," Chef told him before turning to the others. "You slime buckets are gonna cook something tasty, and this bag of mush will be the judge. You've got twenty minutes to make a tasty lunch with whatever you find on the island. I believe in eating locally. Ready?"
"Um, question," Cameron spoke up. "What are our options in the way of seasonings?"
"Get cooking!" Chef slammed two skillets, and everyone ran into the woods. Lightning, Sky and Dave reached a tree. "Chef doesn't know what he's talking about," Lightning complained. "There's no food in this forest."
"Sure, there is," Sky told him. She picked up some blue flowers with white swirls. "These flowers here are edible. They're suppose to taste like sweet blueberry cream." She took a bite of the flower to prove her point.
"No way is Lightning using puny flowers! Now think: where does steak comes from?" He looked up. "Trees!"
"Is he serious?" Dave wondered. Lightning punched a tree, which had a beehive on it. It fell down on the trio, who all screamed as the bees stung them.
Cameron was trying to reach some glowing mushrooms. Shawn was hiding behind a tree, spying on him.
Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)
"Give Jasmine some help, win back her trust. Simple."
End Confessional
Shawn walked off to find Jasmine. Cameron was still struggling to get the mushrooms when Brick and Mike walked over. "Can we help you, Cam?" Brick asked.
"I'm fine," Cameron stubbornly replied. "I want to win this part on my own. I'm afraid you guys will vote me off if I blow it!"
"No, we won't!"
"What gave you that idea?" Mike asked.
"Sorry," Cameron sighed. "I guess the stress of winning to keep my bubble inflated is getting to me."
"You came so far," Brick assured him. "You have just as much a chance as anyone else! But we all need to win so we don't have to vote anyone off. That means working together, okay?"
"Yeah. You're right, Brick! Um, a little help with those-" Mike leapt up and grabbed the mushrooms, then handed them to Cameron. "Here, buddy," he told him.
"Thanks!" As Brick and Cameron walked off, Mike noticed that Shawn was dragging Jasmine over to where they were. Mike hid behind a tree to listen to them. "Here you are, Jasmine," Shawn told her. "Fresh mushrooms for you to- ah!" He saw that the tree was bare. "But-but I was sure...I mean, there was-"
"Listen to me and listen good," Jasmine angrily told him. "I want you to keep away from me, got it?!" Shawn only gulped in response.
Confessional: Jasmine (Mutant Maggots)
"I'm done with Zombie Boy's mixed messages. First he kisses Anne-Maria, then he dumps her, then he's all sweet to me, then he hits me with a dueling stick, then he tries to throw me a picnic?! If this is how Canadian boys flirt, I'd hate to see how they propose!"
End Confessional
As Jasmine stormed off, Shawn could only sigh. "I was sure there were mushrooms here," he muttered.
"Sounds like you blew it," Mike's voice told him. "Sorry, I couldn't help but overhear."
"Keep away from me and Jasmine, wimp!" Shawn lashed back.
"It's a shame you won't be able to patch things up in time."
This caught Shawn's attention. "What do you mean?" he inquired.
"Oh, you don't know, do you?" Mike asked.
"Know what?"
"I heard that Dave and Lightning were going to vote you out next."
"Vote me out?! No way is that going to-" A thought crossed Shawn's mind. "Wait a minute. I thought Dave and Lightning hated each other."
"I think Sky made them work together. If I was you, I'd vote out Sky. That way, Dave and Lightning's alliance will fall apart."
"But it'll just be one vote against three..." Shawn noticed Mike had a nervous look. "Alright, cough it up."
"What?" Mike asked. "I don't know what you're-" Shawn grabbed him and searched his pockets, until he found a little wooden statue. "Ha!" Shawn cried out in victory. "I knew it!" He ran off in joy, unaware Mike was smirking.
Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)
He cradled the statue in his hand. "Invincibility...Sky is now a goner!"
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"Ha! It was harder to trick Shawn, but it'll be worth it. I just know it! Kinda feel bad for him concerning him and Jasmine. I should be lucky that my, um, you-know-what, isn't messing things up with Zoey." He paused a moment. "Right?"
End Confessional
Over by the bathrooms, a female intern was sipping a coffee. "Hello?" Chris called out. "Someone give me a hand; I'm almost free! Uh-oh, WHOA!" A SPLASH was heard by the intern, who only ignored Chris's cries for help.
As Cameron, Brick and Topher were being chased by mutant squirrels; Shawn was being chased by a mutant beaver; and Sky and Lightning were being chased by a swarm of bees, Zoey noticed some vines hanging down. "Maybe I should make something safe," she thought, "like salad!"
"Hey, Zoey!" Dave called out as he ran up to her. "Um, maybe you can use these." He held up a bouquet of blue-and-white flowers.
"Thanks, Dave. But why aren't you using these?"
"Lightning wouldn't let me. I hope you get more use out of them."
"Thanks."
Confessional: Dave (Toxic Rats)
"If Zoey should thank anyone for those flowers, it should be Sky. She insisted if we couldn't use them, we should give them to Mike and Zoey. It's good to see that Sky cares about the other team a little."
End Confessional
Zoey was mixing the leaves of the vines and the petals of the flowers in a little ceramic bowl. "Need help?" Mike asked as he walked over to him.
"Um," she muttered but just then, the vines lashed out and grabbed the spoon she held, bashing her with it. "Let go!" Mike told the vines as he tried to pry them off Zoey.
Meanwhile, Lightning poured some liquid on a skillet. It suddenly burst into flames. Panicking, he put the skillet underneath some water, only for it to burn more fiercely. Lightning tossed the skillet away and it exploded on an intern.
Cameron looked at the mushrooms. "Got an idea, buddy?" Brick asked.
"I think..." Cameron thought, "that these mushrooms will make a delectable quiche."
"Good thinking!" As Brick stirred the mushrooms in a skillet, Shawn looked over his shoulder with a quizzical expression on his face.
Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)
"Quiche, huh? Two can play that game."
End Confessional
As Shawn tasted what he made, he decided to squirt some mutant frog in the skillet.
Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)
"What? It's not like I'm going to eat it. I hope DJ likes the taste of frog."
End Confessional
The vines around Zoey and Mike continued to bash them until Mike bashed the bowl with his fists. "Thanks," Zoey sighed. Mike gave a meek smile. The sound of a CRACK caught their attention. The bowl which held Zoey's salad shattered. "I'll get another bowl," Mike sighed. He ducked down and began to search for another bowl.
"Protein," Lightning said as he poured some liquid on a yellow blob. "Sha-licious!" The blob uncurled itself to reveal itself to be a mutant maggot, which spewed green gunk in Lightning's face. It gave a little giggle. "Gross," Sky gagged as she watched the scene.
"So," Shawn began as he went over to Zoey, "how are things coming along here?"
"Leave me alone, Shawn," Zoey shot back as she gathered all the plants together.
"What? I didn't- LOOK! Zombies puppies in that tree!"
"Huh? Where?" As Zoey turned her back, Shawn sneaked some leaves into Zoey's plant pile. "My mistake," he told her. "It was just a bunch of rocks."
"What are you doing here?" Mike said once he got another bowl out. "Shouldn't you be fixing something?"
"Right. Can't let it burn." Shawn dashed off, leaving Mike concerned.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"Shawn's not the 'small talk' kind of guy. Something's fishy, and I'm not talking flounders and perch."
Confessional: Shawn (Toxic Rats)
He held up a little baggie full of green leaves. "Poison ivy. Really adds that extra, tangy ZIP."
End Confessionals
Cameron pulled out his quiche from the oven, and it looked like it came straight out of a cookbook. Shawn pulled his out, and it had a green tint to it. It gave a weird bulge. Shawn gulped. "Good luck, Zomboy," Jasmine mocked. "And by the way, I didn't mean it!"
Lightning was adding some salt when he noticed the maggot on his head. He took the skillet and tried to bash it, only to miss and bash his head instead. "Tough luck," Zoey commented as she finished putting the salad into the bowl. "All done."
"Hmm..." Mike wondered as he sniffed the plants. "I'm not a cooking expert, but I don't think salad is supposed to smell sweet like meringue on a pie."
"It's probably nothing."
"You're right; it's probably nothing."
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"I hope I don't have to eat the salad, though. I know Zoey worked hard on it, but I can't stand sweet foods! The closest thing to a dessert I enjoy is lemon pie. And I only eat a slice, like, every other month!"
End Confessional
"Three, two, one," Chef told everyone. "Spatulas down. Well, dish it up, cupcakes! Move, move!" Everyone lined up to show their meals. "Today, I've made a delicious quiche," Cameron told DJ. He was impressed.
"Made with toxic mushrooms," Brick finished, making DJ scream. "Next!" Chef barked out. Zoey, Mike and Topher stepped up next. "We present the living salad!" Zoey told DJ. Spiders began to crawl up him, making him shudder. "Looks like another loss for Team Maggot," Topher narrated, making Mike glare at him.
"It's fine!" Mike lashed back. He took a handful of the salad and ate it. "Delicious!"
"Sure, it is."
"It is!" Mike swallowed his bite. "And you're just-" Lightning shoved the duo and Zoey away. "I went with an Italian theme," he explained to DJ. "Ginormous maggot cannelloni in a cream sauce." The maggot roared until Lightning bashed it with a pepper grinder. "What did I tell you?! Stay down! Uh, fresh pepper?" Sky only puked in response. "Next" Chef barked out.
"Please tell me you have something good, Shawn," Dave begged him.
"I've made my famous frog quiche surprise," Shawn replied. "If you can keep it down, surprise!" The tin bulged, and an eye popped out and blinked. DJ gasped and screamed, undoing the ropes binding him and ran off in a panicked frenzy. "Well," Chef decided, "Looks like we just lost our taste-tester. Rule change! You gotta eat all your own weird grub!" Everyone except Brick and Cameron groaned in disgust. "You hurl, you lose. Who's got guts of steel and who's gonna blast a barf bomb? It's a throw-up throw-down when we come back to Total...Drama...Revenge of the Island!"
(cue commercial)
"Alright, com-pest-tants," Chef ordered as he stood over them, "It's time to eat the disgusting grub you cooked up before the break. Whoever finishes their meal first without spewing wins an advantage for part two. Heh-heh, man, this is gonna be nasty!" Lightning poked at his maggot with his fork, and it roared back.
"I am not eating any disgusting excuse for food that these jokers came up with!" Topher protested. "You can win this without me!"
"Then get your sorry butt over to the medical tent with that vampire girl!" Chef yelled back. "Good luck surviving today, scrawny man."
"Sky? In the medical tent?" Mike asked as he scratched his throat.
"She wouldn't quit puking," Dave explained. Shawn gagged at his dish, then saw Cameron and Brick's dish. "Guess great minds think alike, huh?" Shawn asked Cameron. "Hey, is that a blogger from Bubble Boy online dot blog?"
"Really? Where?" Cameron asked as he looked away. Unknown to Cameron and Brick, Shawn swapped his dish with theirs. "Oh, never mind," he quickly told them. "It was just an odd tree stump. Sorry to get your hopes up."
"Three, two, one," Chef told them. He blew an air horn. "Eat it!" Lightning and Dave took a bite of the maggot, then they passed out.
Confessional: Dave (Toxic Rats)
He was holding a pail. "Remind me never to let Lightning near a kitchen again." He puked into the bucket.
End Confessional
Zoey had taken a bite of her salad. She suddenly clutched her throat. "Throat...so...itchy!" she screamed before scratching her tongue.
"Poor Zoey," Dave weakly said as he stood back up. "Right, Mike? Mike?" He saw that Mike was coughing real bad. His cheeks had swelled up like a balloon. "Throat...sore!" he weakly coughed out.
Cameron and Brick took a bite of quiche. Their cheeks bulged.
Confessional: Cameron (Mutant Maggots)
"It had a sharp, froggy note. But how?"
Confessional: Brick (Mutant Maggots)
"I don't remember adding any frog."
End Confessionals
Brick and Cameron puked, to Shawn's glee. Lightning and Zoey also puked. Shawn casually ate the quiche he had in front of him. "What delicious, mutant-frog quiche that was," he said when he finished.
"Perfect," Jasmine muttered, rolling her eyes.
"But how?" Cameron wondered. He noticed that Mike was sniffing at their quiche. "I wouldn't try that," Cameron warned but Mike had already took a bite. "Froggy," he rasped, "but it's helping my throat. Mind if I have some more of this?"
"Go right ahead," Brick sighed.
Confessional: Brick (Mutant Maggots)
"I don't get it. A little salad makes Mike's throat all swelled up, but he can eat that weird, froggy quiche without barfing? Guy's one-of-a-kind, that's all I can say."
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"My Uncle Manny had gotten a recipe for whenever I got a sore throat. It was some sort of frog soup, and it was pretty good. Mind you, he DID say the guy he learned it from also had a recipe for leech gumbo, so I'm not sure it would be good to recommend. But how did I get so sick from Zoey's salad? Did she accidentally get something like poison ivy or something like that?"
End Confessionals
"Challenge is over," Chef announced. "Shawn wins. That's why he doesn't have to wear one of these tracking collars." He placed one on everyone else. "Challenge, part two. I give you...Dork Hunter!" He held up a little tracker. "The challenge is simple. You're the dorks. I'm the hunter. You run off into the woods, I hunt you down. First dork to touch the flag pole wins immunity for their team. Pray that you make it, before the Dork Hunter blast you into a whole dimension of pain!" He held up a can. "Rocket-propelled spaghetti cannon, featuring my own special recipe. Chef Hatchet's in-your-face extra-spicy spaghetti. Dinner is served." Chef loaded it into his bazooka. "In your face!" He fired a shot of spaghetti. Everyone ducked at it, but one unlucky intern got hit. "Ah! Ah!" he cried out. "It burns!"
"Ha, ha, ha. Spicy. You've got twenty minutes to run, hide, and say your prayers. Now move out!" Chef fired another shot, making everyone run in different directions.
Over by the bathrooms, three interns were giggling and whispering. "What's taking those interns so long?!" Chris impatiently shouted. "There's no way they could have forgotten about me! I own them!" One of the interns plugged a hose up while another turned a knob. "MORE SEWAGE?! Heeeeeelp!" The interns all giggled at Chris's misfortune.
Back in the forest, Cameron puked on a plant. "Those mushrooms aren't sitting well," he moaned.
"Yeah," Brick agreed, holding back his puke. Lightning jogged past them. "Nobody tracks Lightning!" he said. "This collar's coming off!"
"Is that against the rules?" Brick wondered as he looked down at his collar. As soon as his hand touched it, a quick ZAP shocked him. "OW!"
"Puny maggot," Lightning mocked. He tried to get his collar off, but he was zapped, as well. He tried again, and again, and again, getting shocked each time. "Lightning, stop!" Cameron told him. "These collars must have an anti-removal feature, which sends a strong, electrical current to the central nervous system." Lightning gave him a look of confusion. "If you take it off," Cameron clarified, "it goes ZAP-ZAP and gives you an owie." Lightning still looked confused. "Never mind. If we could only short out the circuit..." Lightning tried, once again, to take off the collar but to no avail. "You get this thing off of me," he decided, "I'll get you to the finish."
"Same goes for me," Brick decided.
"It's a deal," Cameron said. "I know! I'll reconfigure my watch to send out a small electromagnetic pulse," He took out a small screwdriver and fixed something on his watch, all while Lightning stared at him, confused, "reroute the battery feed, and-" A green pulse came from Cameron's watch, and the boys' collars came right off.
"Good work, Cam!" Brick told him. "Let's hurry and toss these!" A roar from a mutant raccoon caught their attention. "I have a better idea," Cameron said. "All's fair in love and war. And Chef certainly loves warfare!"
"Ah...I see." Brick gave a small chuckle.
Confessional: Zoey (Mutant Maggots)
"Tracking collars? Seriously? Between this and Samey, er, Sammy, being voted off, I've just about had it with this show!" She was zapped by her collar.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"I can't believe Chef's hunting us down like rabbits! It's taking every ounce of willpower to keep me from wringing his puny, good-for-nothing neck!" His collar zapped him. "Stupid collar."

The duo were running from Chef, who was chasing them in his jeep. "No!" Zoey begged. "I'm allergic to pain! Chef, please!"
"Keep going!" Mike told her. "I'll handle Chef." He turned to face him. "You couldn't hit me if you tried!" Chef fired some shots at him, but Mike dodged them as he led him away from Zoey. Eventually, Chef managed to hit Mike in the chest, sending him down a hill into a puddle of mud. "Mike!" Zoey called out with worry. She soon reached the edge of a cliff. "Hunt's over, dorkette!" Chef told her.
"Okay, okay, I give up! You win!"
"Let's make it official." He fired at her, making her fall off the cliff."Maybe I'll come back for her," Chef thought, "If I remember." He backed his jeep away, smirking as he did. Down at the dark chasm, Zoey sobbed as thunder rumbled around her. She lifted her head up and saw that the medallion she carried with her had broken in two. She grasped the pieces in her hands. Her sadness had now changed to fury as she stood up. She let out a fierce cry as lightning crashed behind her. She tore off a piece of her shirt and tied it on her head like a bandana. She smeared war paint on her cheeks, then took a vine and broke with her teeth. She rolled out a log, shot an arrow with a bow, lifted a rock with only a stick, and tested a thin trip wire. "It's payback time," she growled, "and I don't care if that's okay with everyone!" She gave a maniacal laugh.
Shawn was walking at a casual stroll. "No tracker, no problem," he snickered. He saw Jasmine jogging up ahead. "Jasmine! Just the person I wanted to see!"
"Buzz off!" she told him. "I thought I told you to leave me alone!"
"But I have bad news. I heard that the others were going to vote for you next!" Unknown to them, they were standing close to the mud hole Mike fell in.
"So?"
"So, I was gonna convince everyone to vote off Mike instead. Isn't that what a good friend does for another?" Mike gasped at what he heard.
"Well..."
"I guess if you don't want or need my help, then I'll-"
"Wait!" Jasmine suddenly told Shawn. "Fine. Get rid of Mike, but don't think this means I've forgiven you. You're still in the dog house for what you did to me."
"But Dave tricked me into thinking that you were a zombie! After we get rid of Sky and Mike, Dave is next!" Mike growled at the duo.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"All this time, he was trying to kick me off?! Not to mention two of my friends?!" An animal-like growl came from his throat and his eyes flashed yellow. "That back-stabbing little toad's going to pay!"

Chef was looking for the others when a shadow darted from the treetops. "Who's there?" he barked out. A flurry of arrows was shot at his feet, making him back away right into a net that was hidden on the ground. "Whoever did this is gonna pay!" he yelled out. "Soon as I get down." The shadow only giggled as it darted away.
Chef continued to look for the others when he noticed Cameron, Brick and Lightning on his tracker. "This is too easy," he muttered. He fired into a moving bush, hitting an angry mutant raccoon with three tracking collars on its tail. "Tracking collars?" Chef realized. "I've been duped!" The raccoon snatched the bazooka out of his hands, put it on his head, and fired, making him pass out.
Cameron was starting to get worn down. "Come on, man," Lightning complained. "Put some stank on it!" He jogged back to where Brick and Cameron were. "Can't go on," Cameron moaned. "Lightning, you must take me to the finish! Fulfill your promise!"
"Um...nah!"
"But you promised!" Brick told him.
"Sorry, but Lightning's in it for one person: Lightning!" Unknown to him, Cameron hitched a ride on his back.
Confessional: Brick (Mutant Maggots)
"I was going to say something, but Lightning DID say he was taking Cameron to the finish. Like the little guy said, all's fair in love and war."
End Confessional
Dave soon jogged up to Brick. "Hey," Dave panted, "Have you seen Lightning or Shawn?"
"Lightning raced ahead," Brick told him, "and I haven't seen Shawn, so..."
"Found you dorks!" Chef suddenly shouted. Dave hid behind Brick. "And it looks like I found the dork that tried to pull a fast one!"
"It wasn't just my idea, Chef!" Brick protested.
"Don't bother! You're mine." Before he could fire, a rustling came from a nearby bush. "What the-" Chef began. Wolfie suddenly leapt from out of there and pounced on him, tearing him apart. "Get off me, you stupid dog!"
"Quick!" Brick whispered to Dave. "While he's distracted!" The two ran off. Chef managed to pry Wolfie off and toss him aside, only to notice the others were gone. "Good for nothing," Chef muttered. "And as for you-" He saw that Wolfie had vanished and stormed off. Behind a large boulder, Wolfie changed back into Mike.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"If I'm going to pummel and tear someone to oblivion, I want to do it for a good reason. Helping Dave and Brick counts as a good reason."

Chef was driving his jeep when he noticed Zoey on his tracker. "Zoey?" he wondered. "I thought I left her back at the cliff. " His jeep broke the trip wire. "That girl's a glutton for-AHH!" A huge log slammed into his jeep. Chef looked up to see Zoey giggling at him. "Yeah!" she cried out in victory. "Snack on that!" Chef fired at her, but she dodged every shot. She giggled as she leapt down to the ground. "I may have pushed her too far," Chef muttered.
"Finish line, dead ahead," Shawn commented as he and Jasmine saw the flag pole. "All that's left to do is touch it and I win!"
"Sorry, Shawn," Jasmine told him as he shoved him to the ground. "I need this win more than you." She ran to the flag pole but stopped when Fang jumped in front of her. "You again? Can't you leave us alone?" Fang gave his evil grin. The duo ran off, but Fang jumped in front of them. Shawn tripped on a rock. "Leave us alone!" he told Fang. "What do you want, anyway?!" Fang showed where his tooth was missing. "All this for a stupid tooth?! Forget it! You have dozens, anyway." Fang walked towards them, but fell in a pit that was covered. "Ha!" Jasmine mocked. "That shark got what was coming, huh?"
"Yeah," Shawn agreed, "He's...wait a minute. I didn't dig a pit trap." The duo turned to see Chef chasing after Zoey. "Get back here, girl!" he yelled out. Zoey leapt onto Shawn's head and shot an arrow towards Chef. He ducked at it. "Missed!" he told her.
"Wrong!" Zoey replied. Chef looked up to see the arrow hit a vine, breaking it and making it unwind. Soon, a large boulder swung at Shawn and Jasmine and barely missing Chef. The vine tied to the boulder snapped, sending the duo rolling.
Confessional: Zoey (Mutant Maggots)
"Ha! Better luck next life."

Lightning was jogging towards the finish. "Man," he breathed. "I must be gaining muscle mass. This running is making me almost kinda winded." He leapt over the pit and reached the flag pole. "First to the finish!" he bragged, to Brick and Mike's shock. "Aw, yeah." Lightning did a little victory dance. As he did, he backed into the pole, unaware that Cameron was on his back. "Ow," he moaned as he hit the flag pole.
"Huh?" The flag pole's siren lit up. "Game over!" Chef announced.
"You won it, Cam!" Mike told him as he gave him a hug.
"Good job, buddy!" Brick congratulated.
"Guess what?" Chef told them. "Thanks to a certain someone, both teams are booting someone as punishment!"
"WHAT?!" Brick, Cameron and Mike shouted.
"But Cameron won it for us!" Brick protested.
"Don't care. All your sorry butts are mine at the bonfire tonight." Back in the mess hall, Zoey, Cameron, Topher and Jasmine were discussing who to vote off. "We have to vote for Mike," Jasmine told them. "He's too big a menace."
"Are you sure?" Cameron asked, doubtful.
"What if I told you he was going to vote off Brick?" Shawn suddenly put in. He walked up to them. "He told me himself."
"Really?" Brick wondered. "Sorry, but he's not doing that! Good-bye, Mike!"
"Zoey?" Cameron piped up. She only gave him a glare.
Confessional: Cameron (Mutant Maggots)
"Mike saved me once before, and it's time I returned that favor."
End Confessional
At the bonfire, everyone was seated, with the Rats on the right and the Maggots on the left. Chef was in a hazmat suit and he held a box. "Elimination time, dorks!" he announced. "First, the Rats. One vote for Sky, one vote for Dave, one vote for Lightning. And the final vote is for..." Sky and Dave each had a nervous look while Lightning had a confident look. "..."
"..."
"..."
"...Lightning!"
"What?!" Lightning yelled out in frustration. The toxic marshmallow hit him on the head, turning his hair white. "Not so fast! I got this thing!" He held up the wooden statue. "So, bye-bye, wimpy little guy."
"You ain't fooling me with this fake!" Chef told him. "You lost, smart guy! Now, for the Maggots. And tonight's other loser is-"
"ME!" Cameron suddenly shouted. "I am taking the Hurl of Shame tonight!"
"But Cameron," Brick began, "What about needing the money for your bubble?"
"After all I've been through, I realized I don't need my bubble anymore. Personal win for me!"
"After stealing Lightning's win?!" Lightning shouted. "You little-" A swift WHACK soon made him pass out. Dave stood behind him with a shovel in his hand. "Sha-bam," he mocked. Soon, Cameron and the still-unconscious Lightning were seated in the Hurl of Shame. "I've been waiting to be the hurl master of this game," Chef told the duo as everyone else looked on.
"And you're going to keep waiting," Chris told him as he flew onto the dock with his jet pack.
"Chris!" Everyone cried out.
"Yep, I'm the hurl master around here."
"I'm still wondering how Lightning got that statue," Shawn muttered, making Mike nervous. "Hey, Lightning! Where did you get that statue?"
"Uh," Lightning groaned as he stirred awake. Mike motioned to Cameron to keep him quiet. "Careful," Cameron said as he covered Lightning's mouth. "Your concussion will worsen if you don't rest."
"Time to send two losers off the island!" He pulled the lever, sending the boys flying. "I DON'T LIKE THIS!" Cameron shouted. Chris turned to everyone else. "Now for some big news."
"Here comes the merge," Topher muttered.
"No, not the merge. I'm doing one last team swap. So pack your bags and swap teams...Jasmine and Sky!"
"What?! No!" Sky and Jasmine protested.
Confessional: Jasmine (Toxic Rats)
"Stuck on a team with my ex!" She sighed. "At least he's starting to get better, somewhat. Plus, Mike's little alliances are now broken now that Cameron's gone!"
Confessional: Sky (Mutant Maggots)
"Ooh! Dave alone on a team with Jasmine and Shawn means he'll go home next if they lose! Plus, now I'm stuck with that fish-breathed lupine!" She sighed. "But maybe this is for the best. Maybe this is a sign that Dave and I just aren't meant to be. I hope he isn't too upset."
Confessional: Dave (Toxic Rats)
He was holding back his tears. "It's not like we're on different islands. It'll be okay. It'll be..." He began to cry.
Confessional: Mike (Mutant Maggots)
"Man. I can't believe Cam's gone. But why did he vote himself off?"
End Confessionals
Jasmine walked over to Shawn and Dave, glaring as she did. Sky was going over to the Maggots when she turned to Dave. "I'll miss you," she told him. "But I'm not going easy on you, either. You know that, right?"
"Guess it's game on," Dave choked out, holding back tears.
"Don't worry," Mike assured him. "We'll take good care of Sky here." Sky just slapped him on the cheek. "Ow! Again?!"
"Chris, good to have you back," Chef said as he carried a plate. "I even saved you some quiche."
"Chef, you are the man!" Chris replied. He took a bite. His cheeks bulged before he puked on the dock. "You are the hurl master!" Chef teased.
"Who will be hurled next? How much are they gonna hurl before we hurl them? And when will I stop hurling?!" Chris puked again. "Find out next time on Total...Drama...Revenge of the Island!" He puked again.
Votes:
Lightning: Dave
Dave: Lightning
Shawn: Sky
Sky: Lightning
Maggots' votes: Unknown
Eliminated: Lightning (2-1-1), Cameron (quits)
Okay, this has got to be one of my longest chapters yet, and there is a lot to cover. First, I'll start with the elimination. I did say it was going to be a double elimination, but I bet none of you were expecting it to go down like this. Lightning was booted thanks to Dave wanting to get rid of the competition later. And why I decided to boot Cameron like I did? To be honest, I couldn't see any more plot for him in this story, sorry to say. But he left on his own accord, and it's a win for him since he no longer needs his bubble. But there may be another motive, as I've implied.Next is Commando Zoey. I wanted to introduce it here because it'll play part in the next chapter. It'll help build both her and another character a little more.The next bit is Sky and Dave's interactions. Sky told Dave about her suspicions but Dave misunderstood her. This'll be another plot point in the next chapter.Finally, the team swap. I know some of you may not like it, but this will build up both the Jasmine/Shawn relationship and Sky's one-sided rivalry against Mike.
I think I covered everything here, but let me know if I missed anything. Until then, this is Dunsparce519 saying enjoy and have a good day.
