Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!
Episode 3: Capture The Headbands
Part 5: The First Eliminations
That's right, no more newcomers, no more arrivals, only elimination votes!
You know, the whole shebang and of course, the challenge and by extension, the episode finishes!
To be honest, while it may take a while for a chapter to come out...that doesn't mean some of the eliminations aren't going to be well thought-out.
"Welcome back to Total Drama, where the last place team has burnt a tree!" Chris announced with a ridiculous amount of glee, despite the obvious fact that Lord Hater didn't look too interested in dousing the tree.
To be fair, it was mostly a few bunch of leaves and some branches, but none of them were dumb enough to not realise the danger...though Papyrus had been in the underground for too long.
"Oh, why is there fire?!" Papyrus shouted. "It looks kind of very cool!"
"Is there anyone who can put this out?" Piccolo asked.
"Wait, is it bad if it goes on trees?" Papyrus asked, scared of the spreading fire. "Ow, hot!"
"I think you figured it out." Piccolo remarked.
Papyrus wasn't even sure what to do, pretty sure that he couldn't do that and Lord Hater didn't look too interested in stopping the fire...Sir Daniel was definitely trying his hardest to splash something on it.
Though he didn't even have that much water.
"Hahaha, watch this!" Lord Hater then just put them out, making the tree...still burnt, but not burning. "That's right."
"Wow...that is very stupid." Piccolo commented on the fire situation, as the other two were shocked. "Besides, you burnt a 50,000 point headband!"
"Oh no, you can't make a fool out of me, tree!" Lord Hater yelled, as his teammates were just trying to pull him away from the marked tree. "Wander made a fool out of me!"
"...Your shoes are good and so is your hood, but why are you so bad?" Papyrus asked, worried about his fellow skeleton.
"Because my villainy is going to win. It wins all of the time in these shows!" Lord Hater shouted, still being carried by Sir Daniel and Papyrus. "I came to win."
While the trio were leaving the location, Piccolo was joined by a familiar face and she was small and angry...being a Irish child and all.
"I found these things. Where are the dead ruining this forest?!" Aisling yelled, coming with 200,000 combined points to boot.
"Actually, it was one guy and the other two pulled him outta there. You know, nothing too serious." Piccolo answered.
"They're about to meet my three wolves!" Aisling proclaimed, before she looked at the Namekian. "Why is your skin so green?"
"Because it is." Piccolo answered, grabbing the headbands. "Go find some more in the forest, Aisling."
"Wait, those are..."
Piccolo just flew off, more into helping his teammates out.
"...mine."
*Sir Daniel's confessional*
He had subtitles.
"Though he was a friend, he was also a real knave. I told him this and he tried to burn my armour off, but it didn't work." Sir Daniel told the confessional...with a serious mumbled.
*Confessional cut*
"Five minutes left until the end! Whatever headbands you guys had, insert them now!" Chris announced, as the time for some serious action was needed and these three were trying their best to get back to the grounds.
"Ewww...why is there so much mud?" Chloe complained, as she managed to put some on her shoes.
"I don't really know the answer." Haida said. "Must have been an untouched island until now."
"Then get this thing off me!" Chloe shouted.
"With what?" Haida just showed his hands. "Sorry, I can't help you there."
"Fine...just so you know, I got the most points ahead of these three." Chloe easily managed to stoke a fire inside Gloria and Judy.
"Hold on, you were complaining the whole time about a small bug on your shoulder while you got the thing!" Gloria exclaimed.
"But she isn't wrong. Just kind of annoying." Judy said, trying to calm down the tension.
"Yeah and I still got more than you two combined!" Chloe shouted at the both of them. "What's your problem, I'm just too beautiful for you?"
"Your problem is that you're uncooperative with your own team." Judy just told her, not really angry. "What's your problem?"
"I'm here to tell that I'm a team player and you know, I came here to win as a team player. So, please...give it a rest already." Chloe said, getting really heated...as Judy was shaking her head. "My dad's the mayor of Paris."
"And I'm from the New York zoo, I don't care about your dad!" Gloria shouted back.
Haida and Judy were looking at each other with acceptance, as they couldn't calm down a proud hippo and a bratty teenager in the middle of the woods...but they did find something big.
Chloe and Gloria did notice what it was, a six-digit headband tripped in between a bunch of random ropes that made it tight.
"Anyways, you wanna get a hundred thousand? I was a superhero, so I know what to do." Chloe remarked with a smug smile.
"Lady, I'm twice your height. We all need to get over ourselves and to do the thang!" Gloria shouted, as Judy got right into action.
The three of them were actually untying ropes in weird ways, as Chloe was practically trying to keep her hands perfect, Haida and Judy were trying to tie against the time limit.
And Gloria looked at the ropes, not sure what she was going to do with her big hands and general size that made Chloe groan.
*Gloria's confessional*
The hippo looked determined to do something.
"I get the feeling that I haven't got any screen time last challenge, but this time, I ain't messing around and I still can't fit in these things! So, you know what I'm going to do?!"
*Confessional cut*
"One minute left, campers! Get your butts moving, dudes and dudettes!" Chris just added to the panic of Judy and Haida, who were messing up the untying.
"My butt's going to help us get ahead in the game!" Gloria shouted, as she went for the headband itself.
Though the thing was tied under a whole bunch of ropes, Gloria was an angry, angry hippo...putting her arm under the ropes to try and get it.
"...What are you doing?" Judy asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Making us not lose." Gloria said, finally getting the strand of a headband through. "Hold up, this thing is-"
The headband...barely slipped, as it now looked like it was pretty close to ripping, but these four were definitely booking.
"Finally! Now we can get outta here!" Haida shouted. "Wish we could get more, but I think we're good."
"Have you heard-" Judy told them.
Of course, the loudest horn that Chris could buy to be used in the mega speakers sounded its klaxxon and well...
"Guys, you can stop collecting headbands now!"
These two were near each other and going in completely different directions, but they were definitely carrying some headbands and were in a good mood...as they were near the camp.
"You know who else who can't stop collecting headbands?" Muscle Man asked. "My mom!"
"Ew, what kind of joke is that?" Clover asked.
"We won, can't we have a little joke?" Muscle Man remarked.
"Yeah, that's funny!" Clover yelled with sarcasm.
"Wait, did we win or something?" Fred Flintstone came from nowhere, as he slid from the forest. "Still fighting this ninja guy that doesn't speak."
"...Cool, that's like every ninja, though." Muscle Man said.
The three of them and the other 116 remaining contestants that carried their headbands that were there very much in their hands, heads or even legs were back and they were here to see what they've got for their teams.
"Okay, campers, you've put in so many headbands for your own teams and those headbands are the line between losing two people and not losing two people!" Chris announced. "And you've still got a ton more!"
The contestants that were separated into their teams were paying attention to their extra headbands.
"Will the winning team stay winning or are they going to go down to the bottom? Campers, our fastest intern is going to collect them."
In some of the contestants' hands, the headbands were being put in incredibly quickly by one of the interns and they had their brown hair cut like a bowl...and incredibly fast for no reason.
Their name? Mako Mankanshoku.
"Mako, how are you an intern?" Ryuko asked.
"I wanted to be an intern!" Mako yelled. "And I'm collecting headbands!"
"...Thanks, I guess." Ryuko wasn't sure what to say.
Of course, they were in the right baskets and then Mako just ran off, leading to the host looking at her weirdly.
"Okay, now we've got the real points and of course, the Crows are going first!"
Sandy looked worried, not being in this episode after putting it work in the last episode.
"You guys have got 1,300,600 points...which is pretty good for the winners!"
"It is?" Sandy asked.
"No interrupting, please! Rhinos, you've got second last time and it looks like you've stepped up a lot!"
"Wait..." Sandy realised the obvious.
"Dudes, you got 3,700,000. No matter how split, that's some insane collecting, Rhinos."
Sandy didn't look too happy, as Harley Quinn and Tifa did an high-five and then looked like they didn't want to do that again.
"What the heck did we do?" Hank Hill asked. "Probably some team work."
"To beat the Rhinos and to be confirmed safe, you have to get more than that! Deers, you had lost the last challenge and it could turn into a losing streak!"
Snufkin looked confident in his fellow teammate, Sonja, who had a serious face.
"Deers, you guys have got 2,350,000 points...meaning that the Crows are confirmed losers and you guys are potentially safe!"
Yuri and Ram were eagerly anticipating the results of the final team to be revealed, as they weren't about to lose someone.
"Though, last but not least, The Striking Swordfish, the team that got third and lost two people...but it ain't impossible to beat the Deers here!"
Sokka and Oikawa were looking at each other like they were about to deal with the elimination.
"Unfortunately, though the team struck a lot, they've only got 1,600,000 points. Though the Crows are the biggest losers, this team's on a third place streak!"
The Water Tribe swordsman and the high-school volleyball setter were both shocked at how the contest ended up again and Reigen looked frustrated.
"This means that the Daring Deer and Rugged Rhinos are safe! And of course, the Striking Swordfish and Crafty Crows will have to vote off two people...each!"
"Damn, what else is there?" Noah asked.
"The safe teams also get decent food, by the way."
The Crows definitely had a fallout.
"Oh no, it's really bad, guys! We went from first to last in one day!" Owen complained.
"Calm down, Owen, it's not like we can't reverse that in the next challenge." Noah said, trying to stop people from looking at Owen.
"And what the hell is he going to do, then?" Nobara asked. "I don't think he brought a lot of points here."
"Noah!" Owen shouted defensively.
The big fun guy just wanted Noah to reassure him, but...
"...She's got a point there." Noah said that. "Though it's not like we're short of useless people."
"Yeah!" Nobara pointed at Chloe. "What the hell were you doing?"
"Guys, I ain't interested in what y'all are arguing about! We've got to vote off some people and some of them are absolutely hiding their business!" Sandy Cheeks exclaimed. "Besides, what are we doing here arguing?"
"I think we're wasting time standing here...because we need to eat." Mikasa stated, as the black-haired slayer didn't look scared. "And some of us need more food than others."
*Kageyama's confessional*
The black-haired volleyball player was very angry and unsure about what to do.
"I dunno who sucked hard enough to not get enough points, but I'm going to help vote them out and then I'm going to improve...my skills!" He exclaimed. "You moron!"
*Confessional cut*
Two different teams that were not having a good time also had a hard time picking a person to vote for, as they were sitting in the cafeteria having a good talk.
Or a talk that involved a whole lot of shouting.
"Hey, you're not exactly the best of the best yourself!" Sokka yelled. "You basically dipped for the whole challenge and contributed nothing!"
"What do you mean, you messed up hard enough to lose us a hundred thousand points or something!" Arle shouted.
"You weren't even in the episode. You probably got a few thousand points or something!" Sokka shouted back.
"I have, but you suck at getting them!" Arle yelled.
"Guys, seriously, Johnny Bravo messed up harder than you two would have ever done." Bayonetta remarked, not really surprised. "He went chasing after a lady on another team...after giving them a headband."
"How is that not a lie?!" Arle said, a lot too loudly.
The Umbra Witch just groaned, seeing a lack of logic on display.
"Can you two wait for a second? There's an obvious vote here." Reigen said, as Johnny Bravo looked confident. "Because I witnessed some questionable stuff."
"I guess you have." Bayonetta said, nonchalantly...as Johnny Bravo was slowly going up to her seat. "I was wondering when you'd scoot up."
"You know, I have a thing for tall ladies and you look like a tall drink of water!" Johnny Bravo said with a flirty tone..
"That's funny, because I'm sure that you lost the challenge because of Mai." Bayonetta remarked back. "I don't even know why you were chasing her, though."
"Seriously, what did you do?" Cassie Cage had an eyebrow raised.
"That's funny, because I'm sure that you lost the challenge because of Mai." Bayonetta remarked back. "I don't even know why you were chasing her, though."
"Seriously, what did you do?" Cassie Cage had an eyebrow raised.
"The lady gave me her headband and she got mine. And then I realised it wasn't that big, so I wanted to get her number...because baby, she's got some good tricks." Johnny Bravo explained with confidence. "And ninja skills, almost forgot that."
"Damn. I can't believe that I'm not surprised." Cassie just sighed.
"I mean, she was a real looker, couldn't say no to her!" Johnny Bravo tried to justify himself.
"I'm going to be real with you, you're probably going to be eliminated tonight." Sokka told the big buff guy, who was just going to the confessional.
"Dang, I've gotta try something! Where's the other guy?!" Johnny tried to justify himself, as he got a few headshakes. "Man, I guess it wasn't meant to be."
"Wait, who else contributed nothing of value to the team?" Eva asked, flexing her arms. "Because I want to get this elimination over and to lift some weights."
"That's...actually a pretty question. We'll figure it out later, but first...we're thinking about it." Cassie stated, as Amelia was struggling to eat the food that was in front of her.
*Amelia's confessional*
The ship captain didn't look too impressed.
"I've already figured out who to send home...but the better question is how did the food get worse? It's like the ingredients are left out in the sunshine!" Amelia, still having the taste.
*Chef's confessional*
And Chef Hatchet himself had a response.
"It was only the vegetables, that's it." Chef said, not missing a beat.
*Confessional cut*
Speaking of, The Crows were having their own moments with each other, as the good majority weren't sure and others were very sure of who they were going to pick.
"Uh, you know who I'm going to vote for?" Sakura asked. "...I guess the guy who caused that forest fire."
"It was a tree fire and it was awesome to do some villainy!" Lord Hater shouted.
"But it had a bunch of headbands on it, so we could've had the chance for everyone to be safe." Sakura said.
"I bet it you thought it was very cool." Mikasa told Lord Hater, who just laughed at her.
"It was!" Lord Hater justified himself. "I collected some headbands too!"
"Well, it looks like we've found our first vote! I guess then we're picking Judy then!" Chloe was practically relaxing in her seat. "You know, because she think she's all of that."
"You know you're pretty much that and not so good too." Gloria told her, not looking too surprised.
"Besides..."
Chloe was very smug when Mikasa asked her this question, as the blonde Parisian girl was very sure of the vote.
"...what skills do you bring to the team?"
"Looking beautiful first of all...and secondly, I don't know why you're asking this question. You didn't even put in that much effort." Chloe fired back, as Haida just looked confused at what she was saying.
"Okay, okay, what are you doing? You know, you don't have to say everything." Haida asked, getting a little bit panicky for a good reason.
"Why not? I did some work!" Chloe exclaimed, as the whole rest of the team weren't in a good mood.
*Tobio Kageyama's confessional*
The black-haired setter didn't look too impressed.
"I can't believe we have so many dumb people on the team! Well, two of them, really, but they're not smart!" Kageyama said. "I think this vote's going to be easy."
*Confessional cut*
The Swordfishes didn't really have anyone else to eliminate aside from the not-so-smart womanizer and a good majority of them were stumped on who to pick...besides a few people.
Askeladd, Bayonetta, Sokka and Khun were hanging out together, somehow not out of place despite the former being two very tall adults and the other two being teens.
"Listen, I'm not really interested in voting for anyone other than that Casanova wannabe." Bayonetta said.
"Yeah, I don't want to vote for anyone, but that card game boy seems...really weak." Askeladd remarked, as Bayonetta raised an eyebrow.
"Let's be honest, despite having a niche skill...I doubt that he's going to be much more useful than even the low tiers of the team." Khun told Bayonetta.
"Why? It's not like he's hurting anyone by existing, besides there's the redhead that let some coachman take her headband." Bayonetta remarked. "Still not changing my vote."
"Yeah, we're still voting for Joey, sorry." Sokka said, doing the decisions. "Me and the boys here."
"You? You're definitely the big boy." Askeladd remarked, ready to get some votes on.
"Okay, okay, call me when you saved the world." Sokka looked up to the tall Viking.
"I killed the king, what have you got?" Askeladd grinned.
"We're voting for Joey, there's nothing you can really do about it." Khun said. "Bayonetta, make your own vote."
"I already made it, you three came up for no reason." Bayonetta told the trio...
As three people were leaving, Joey came up to her with some cool words.
"Er. What do I do about my girlfriend? You know, because she's mad that I went on without asking." Joey asked with some serious confidence.
"...Sorry, I can't help you there. You should've told her." Bayonetta walked away from the situation. "Also, I need to get into the bath."
"Damn...I've gotta do something." Joey said, not sure what he was going to do.
*Joey's confessional*
The blonde Duellist looked relaxed.
"I don't know what's everyone deal with Daphne is. She must have messed up hard in the challenge to get talked about a lot, but I'm super safe for now." He said.
*Confessional cut*
The 60 contestants that were just hanging out at the massive campfire that who two different sides for two teams to eliminated one or two different people.
"Alright, campers on The Crows and The Swordfishes, you guys may or may not have seen the famous Total Drama elimination ceremony!"
Chris showed the two massive plates that had marshmallows for all but two of the contestants on the two losing teams.
"Every single contestant here has one vote and those who not enough votes to be eliminated gets the good marshmallow. A survival of sweetness."
A good chunk of the contestants were just eye-ing Chris, as he was talking.
"There's 26 or 28 marshmellows for the Swordfishes and Crows, respectively and those who don't get the marshmellow will get sent home through the Sling-yacht Of Shame!"
"What's with you and weird elimination methods? Can't it just be a boat or something?" Noel asked.
"You ain't getting an answer outta him." Leshawna told her, having experience.
Chris finally turned towards the third place team, all of them feeling confident about something.
"Striking Swordfishes, you guys have gotten third place and you guys have two people to vote off, but the votes aren't as clear cut as you expected."
The 29 or so contestants that made up the team (that was named after a sharp fish) were really paying attention to the thing.
"Eva, Leshawna, Noel, Amelia, Tails, Reg, Sokka, Squigly, Khun, Kasumi, Connor, Askeladd, Oikawa, Ryuko, Heavy, Lowain, Cassie, Raven, Arle, Reigen, Min Min, Connor and Falco, all of you have got no votes to your name!"
All of them were just enjoying their tacos in completely different ways, as the no-vote crowd.
"Only five of you have any votes. Connor and Smee, you've got one vote each!"
"Wait, why? Is it because I am a robot?" Connor asked.
"Could be." Nicole answered.
Daphne, Johnny Bravo, Joey and Joseph were all looking at each other like they weren't sure what was about to happen next.
"Joseph, I don't know how you got two..but you've got two of the 26 votes!"
"I don't even know why I got them, but at least I'm staying on!" Joseph exclaimed...getting some Hamon to...blow up the marshmellow. "Oh no!"
And Chris got some of that marshmellow.
"Okay...only one of you will be staying on to do another challenge. Johnny Bravo, you blew the challenge because of Mai, my dude."
Johnny was just looking to the left and to the right.
"Daphne, you gave Barker your six-digit headband because his energy. Understable, but some people don't think so."
Daphne was just giving a look of what-the-hell towards several teammates, some of which were just giving a weird look.
"Joey...I guess people don't like playing card games, but you apparently didn't do enough in the challenge."
Joey just shrugged, as he just took it in his stride.
"Geez, what's with that strategy talk?" Joey asked.
"The last one safe is..."
Daphne was just shaking from the potential of being eliminated.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Johnny Bravo was just combing his blonde pompadour, taking a look at his team.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
Joey had a smile, sure that he'd get through this.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"...Daphne! Joey and Johnny, you've gotta go!"
"Thanks, you guys have listened to sense!" Daphne exclaimed.
"Man, this sucks." Joey said. "Imagine getting voted off for things that haven't happened yet."
"Hey...I don't even know what to say. I deserve to be voted off more than him and I don't really deserve it at all!" Daphne said.
"Yeah!" Joey shouted.
"You're just the card games guy. What are you going to bring to the team?" Sokka asked.
"Something to do? What's with that?" Oikawa answered, a little bit angry.
"Sorry, no time!"
Joey and Johnny were out of there, as the big Casanova was just getting a lot of waves.
"Well, cya, guys." Johnny Bravo stated. "Had a fun time and I saw a lot of beautiful babes! Stay beautiful!"
Joey didn't even take the words of the big guy seriously.
The 32 contestants that made up the massive team were just baring this elimination.
"Crows...there's clearly two people with way more votes than anyone else and I'm not joking!"
Chloe and Lord Hater were looking at each other, willing to do some mocking of their teammates.
"I'm going to throw to the people without any votes? You ready?!"
All of the contestants were actually putting their hand out and there was a lot of marshmallows to get...30 of them to be exact.
As Chris said the names of the many contestants, there were a lot of expected names in there, Mikasa, Shego, Giovanni and Terry Bogard being some of them.
Some of them were a little surprising, as Kageyama wasn't the most comfortable leader, Tomo looked surprise and Kyo just smugly got his.
All but Sir Daniel, Papyrus, Chloe, Lord Hater and Soma managed to get their marshmallows and these five weren't sure what they were going to do with each other.
"The 27 of you with no votes have got marshmallows..."
Soma looked confident.
"...so has Soma and Sir Daniel, with a single vote each!"
"Up top, Riku!" Soma exclaimed.
"Your marshmallow's..." Riku saw the cook's marshmallow land on the ground. "...dirty."
"Which of you three won't be slingshot out of the island?" Chris asked. "The votes say all..."
Papyrus was really sweating out of his bone pores, as Chloe looked angry and Lord Hater was very angry.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"...they say that Papyrus is the last one safe!"
"Thank you, humans and monsters! I'm so happy to be on this show!" Papyrus shouted. "I'm going to cook some spaghetti!"
"Me too!" Soma exclaimed, ready to cook it up.
"Why I do keep losing so much?!" Lord Hater shouted. "I will beat Wander!"
"Do it, then!" Soma cheered him on.
"Ew, I don't want to be this dirty island for any longer." Chloe complained.
Lord Hater and Chloe were sent to the Dock of Shame.
"You four have got words before you guys step onto the Slingyacht of Shame?" Chris announced. "Keep it short."
"Why am I among these three freaks? I'm beautiful!" Chloe yelled.
"Hey, just 'cause you're beautiful, doesn't mean your teammates like you." Joey remarked. "I respect the people who didn't vote for me."
"Same thing here! Respect for my villainy!" Lord Hater shouted. "Why won't you consider that?!"
"I got eliminated because I saw a ninja beauty and wanted to challenge her! We're kinda just challenging each other on this island!" Johnny Bravo exclaimed.
The four of them were stepping onto the yacht with their luggage already on the yacht itself with some good protection for said luggage...and then they got shot off with the slingshot itself.
"Okay, no-one has arrived and four people have left! Now, the show's really getting rolling! What's with Barker? What's with that Khun guy? And more importantly, where's the old challenges? Find out all of that more on..."
Of course, the zoom out happened quite slowly on every word.
"...Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!"
And the third episode and the first episode without any additions was over.
Let's be real, Johnny Bravo wasn't going to be in for a long time, but he had a good time in the two episodes that he had and plus, he ain't plot relevant to anything and plus, he'd probably get eliminated from something like that later on anyways.
Joey Wheeler...isn't exactly a character that I know super well and his skillset for this kind of show? Not great enough to survive the second challenge...for those votes anyways.
Lord Hater's a fitting early elimination, 'cause as much as he could make a great villain or a powerful ally, it'd be much funnier if he was an early elimination. Also, he's perfect cannon fodder material.
Chloe Bourgeois really has the potential to make it decently far and have some kind of redemption arc...but like it or not, she is very bratty in Miraculous Ladybug and that didn't change here.
The show's to be continued in the fourth episode, where the first of several throwback challenges appear and cause some problems for the water-avoidant contestants.
Not that they care that much, because that's just half the challenge and the other half is what they're going to shine at.
Next time, we're diving and doing something else on...
...Total Drama: Ultimate Islands!
