The episode opened with Chris on the Dock of Shame. "Last time, on Total Drama Island...The teams were put through a series of extreme sports challenges to fight it out for the most amount of points. We saw how Regina was able to survive a fall into a sand pit without using a parachute, we saw Kylie and Miles rush down a mountain slope on bicycles with no brakes, we saw yours truly run down that same mountain slope after Chef tricked me into thinking we didn't have a safety mechanism waiting for Kylie and Miles at the bottom of the hill, we saw Janson getting his torso bared during a freak accident on a hovercraft, and we saw Sybil was able to keep herself from crumbling under pressure when she was able to carry home the win for the Screaming Gophers, forcing the Killer Bass to attend yet another humiliating elimination ceremony. In the end, the Killer Bass chose Mason to make his way down the Dock of Shame and onto the Boat of Losers to take his leave from the island." Chris gave a recap of last episode's events before the scene cut to him back on the Dock of Shame.
"With Mason's departure, we've reached the second half of the competition. What gruesome challenge could be waiting for our remaining 12 campers? What drama could we possibly squeeze out of this episode? Will Total Drama end up getting renewed for a second season? Find out tonight, on Total...Drama...Island!" Chris finished as the show's intro began to play.
Two spotlights rose into the air and were turned on. A camera rose from the ground where a groundhog was lying on while another camera came out of a tree.
Dear mom and dad, I'm doing fine.
The camera zoomed across the camp before heading over the edge of the cliff and going underwater to show Kylie swimming there as a shark followed from behind. She then proceeded to bravely kick the shark in the face and swam away as the shark rubbed its snout in pain. The camera proceeded to rise to the surface of the water where Sasha was sitting in a motorboat that she had just fixed with a wrench and gave a small smile to the camera.
You guys are on my mind.
The camera then went into the forest to find Michelle playing a game on her handheld as Tessa was painting her doing this. However, she was soon disturbed by Regina sliding down a tree trunk on a skateboard and hopping over Michelle and Tessa, causing the trestle that Tessa's painting was standing on the collapse and the painting to fall onto her, covering her in paint before she looked at the camera in annoyance.
You asked me what I wanted to be,
The camera continued to follow Regina riding her skateboard through the forest as she passed by Miles, giving him a high five as she did so. Miles grinned as he gave Regina a thumbs up and then ran off into the forest.
And I think the answer is plain to see...
Hana was practicing her Judo moves in an open clearing in the forest. As she did so, she accidentally kicked against a wire which caused a platform in a tree above her to collapse and then a bucket of water fell onto her, soaking her judo gi. Hana was visibly upset as she looked around for any perpetrators before the camera zoomed out to reveal Kennedy and Mason hiding behind a rock, struggling to contain their laughter.
I wanna be famous.
The camera then began following Nathan and Melissa as they were jogging out of the forest and towards camp as they smiled at each other.
I wanna live close to the sun.
The camera then zoomed towards a waterfall where Valerie and Victoria were slap fighting with each other in a canoe which promptly fell off the waterfall with them inside. Socorro was standing on a wooden log and was horrified to see Valerie and Victoria fall down the waterfall, but then the log he was standing on collapsed underneath him as he fell as well.
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won.
The camera then turned to Zane leaning against the outhouse confessional as he was waiting for the person who occupied it to come out. Sybil then proceeded to come out of the outhouse as she and Zane looked at each other in awkward silence.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way.
The camera then went into the mess hall as Chef was preparing a meal in there. He smiled as he looked at Oliver and Aston, whom he had tied up with rope. Oliver and Aston nervously looked at each other before looking at Chef.
I'll get there one day.
The camera then turned to Dustin and Lester playing chess against each other, with Dustin winning the game as he raised his arms in victory as Lester just shrugged his shoulders, being indifferent to losing the game of chess.
'Cause I wanna be famous.
The scene then showed Cameron and Grayson at the beach, staring at Janson, who was lying on the beach before he splashed his bare torso with water, turning it to steam, causing Cameron to fan her face in admiration while Grayson shook his head in annoyance at his sister's reaction.
Na na na na na na, na na na na, na na na na na na.
The scene then then showed a seagull with plastic around its neck drifting on the water as a shark jumped over it before being pulled underwater by an octopus.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
The camera then turned to Johan, who was sitting on a stool on the Dock of Shame with his guitar as he began to play it. He then proceeded to throw his baseball cap into the air as the camera began to follow it. The scene then turned to nighttime as Johan was sitting at the campfire and caught his baseball cap again before putting it back on his head. Chris and Chef then showed up with marshmallows.
[Whistling] I wanna be, I wanna be famous.
The camera then zoomed out to show all 24 campers sitting around the campfire, as well as a sign that read "Total Drama Island" on it.
The scene then cut to Chris and Chef waiting by the door of the mess hall as the remaining 12 campers proceeded to make their way into the mess hall. Regina raised an eyebrow upon noticing there was no slop to be served for breakfast this morning.
"Uhhhh, where's the breakfast?" Regina asked Chris and Chef.
"We'll get to that soon enough. For now, just have a seat and wait for everyone to arrive." Chris told the daredevil as she just shrugged and made her way over to the Killer Bass table while Chris and Chef struggled to contain their laughter.
"What's so funny, El Risitas?" Valerie asked Chris and Chef with a raised eyebrow as she entered the mess hall.
"Nothing. For now, just have a seat." Chris told the Mexican teen as she also shrugged and made her way over to the Screaming Gophers table. As soon as everyone had made their way into the mess hall and over to their team tables, Chris cleared his throat.
"Alright, I just want to congratulate the remaining 12 campers, which is you guys, for making it to the second phase of the competition! You've managed to outwit, outplay and outlast the other 12 campers and proven that you guys are worthy of still being in the race for the 100 grand!" Chris began to speak to the campers as they listened to him speak.
"Next week, the two teams will become one. But before we do that, we're going to play one last team challenge. One that's as old as time itself: A boys vs girls challenge!" Chris continued as the boys and girls glanced between each other, unsure what to think of the whole situation.
"Before we commence today's challenge, all the male campers will be moved to the Screaming Gophers' cabin, while all the female campers will be moved to the Killer Bass' cabin. I'll give you guys half an hour to move your stuff over to your new cabins, and then we'll give you a feast for making it this far into the competition." Chris explained before him and Chef struggled to contain their laughter. Some of the campers were a bit suspicious of the two co-hosts' laughter.
-Confessional: Zane-
"Judging by the laughter Chris and Chef struggled to contain back at the mess hall, today's challenge can't be a good one. But I like to earn that prize money through hard work, so I'm willing to do pretty much any challenge that Chris and Chef can throw at us, no matter how dangerous or disgusting a challenge may be."
-End Confessional-
The campers then proceeded to leave the mess hall to head back to their cabins to start unpacking their stuff. "So, Nathan, Lester. Looks like the two of you will soon be joining me, Janson and Zane as our roommates. How do you feel about that?" Miles asked the athlete and the schemer curiously, trying to strike up a conversation with his soon to be new roommates.
Lester shrugged. "If I gotta be honest? It probably won't make much of a difference. It'll probably be the same thing as when Nate and I were roommates with Aston, Grayson, Socorro and Mason." He replied to the brunette.
"Yeah, it probably will be the same thing, but I'm honestly excited about sharing a cabin with you, Janson and Zane. You all seem like cool guys to me, and I'm sure that until we're eliminated, we'll be able to make the most of our time sharing a cabin." Nathan chimed in with an optimistic smile.
Miles smiled back at that. "I'm glad to hear that. Well, I'll see you guys soon at our cabin." He waved at Nathan and Lester before walking away from the pair and making his way over to the Gopher cabin.
"Well, looks like we're going to be sharing a cabin with the Bass girls soon. How do you girls feel about it all?" Valerie asked the rest of the girls on her team.
"I'm sure it'll be fun to get to know those Bass girls better! I mean, now that the teams are going to be dissolved soon, we can finally see who the Bass girls really are!" Cameron beamed.
"If I gotta be honest? It stinks I won't be sharing a cabin with Miles anymore, but it'll be okay. Just because we're not sharing a cabin anymore doesn't mean we can't be boyfriend and girlfriend anymore." Michelle chimed in.
"In my eyes, it'll be the same thing as when we shared a cabin with Sasha and Victoria, so it's not gonna make much of a difference to me." Sybil said with an indifferent shrug.
Valerie nodded at that. "Well, I sure hope those Bass girls will be hospitable during our stay in their cabin for the rest of the summer. I'd hate to spend the rest of the summer having to deal with their unwelcoming attitude towards us, if they have such an attitude, that is." She replied as the girls continued to walk towards their cabin.
"No worries, ladies. We'll be sure to give you a warm welcome as soon as you get to our cabin." Melissa assured the Gopher girls with a warm smile.
Kylie smiled and nodded. "Damn straight. We'll give you the best possible stay we can give you in our cabin for the rest of our summer." She chimed in.
"Yeah. It'll be a lot of fun." Regina grinned as the Gopher girls smiled at that.
The scene then cut to Nathan and Lester having packed up their stuff from their side of the Bass cabin. "Well, are you ready to leave the cabin we've spent the past few weeks in behind, Lester?" Nathan asked his teammate.
"I guess I am. Let's get going." Lester replied as him and Nathan walked out the door before heading over to the Gopher cabin. Melissa, Kylie and Regina waved them off as they left.
"Good luck in your new cabin, boys!" Regina called to the boys.
"Yeah, we'll miss you!" Kylie added.
"Hey, Nate! Just because we're not in the same cabin anymore, doesn't mean we're not dating anymore, right?" Melissa called to her boyfriend.
"Of course not, Mel! You're still my gal, and sleeping in different cabins doesn't change that!" Nathan called back.
"Okay, that's a relief!" Melissa called back.
Nathan and Lester then entered the boys' side of the Gopher cabin to find Miles, Janson and Zane conversing in there. "All I'm saying is that with this many ladies left in the game, us gentlemen are in a very dangerous spot. Ladies often tend to stick together, and with seven of them left, and five of us left, they'll most likely start picking us off one by one until there's only ladies left in the game." Janson explained to Miles and Zane.
"So you're afraid of the girls having a majority now that we're going into the second phase of the competition?" Zane asked the manipulative flirt as he raised a curious eyebrow at him.
"Pretty much. That's why I suggest that you, me, Miles, Nathan and Lester should stick together and form a men only alliance and start picking off the ladies one by one until the men to ladies ratio is evened out again." Janson explained to the strategist.
"I'm gonna have to agree with Janson on this one. If his suspicions are justified and the girls are indeed going to start picking off us guys one by one until there's none of us left in the game, we're going to have to act fast and prevent them from gaining the upper hand on us before they manage to do so." Miles agreed with Janson's plan.
"So, are you in on this, my friend?" Janson asked Zane curiously.
"...I'll think about it." Zane replied.
"Well, you don't have much time to think about it. The second phase of the competition is this close." Janson told him as he made a gesture with his thumb and index finger to put emphasis on the "close" part. Him, Miles and Zane then turned to see Nathan and Lester standing in the doorway.
"Oh, hi, guys! Glad to see you made it!" Miles told Nathan and Lester with a warm smile.
"Hi, Miles. Hi, Janson. Hi, Zane. Thanks for the warm welcome." Nathan smiled.
"...What was that about a guys only alliance?" Lester then asked.
"Oh, that. It's nothing of importance as of right now. We'll get into that as soon as you guys have settled into this cabin, alright?" Miles told him and Nathan, keeping the warm smile.
Lester blinked for a second but shrugged. "Fine by me." He replied.
-Confessional: Lester-
"I get the feeling that Janson and Miles have been quite the evil masterminds on the Gophers team during the time that the teams were around. And if that's the case, perhaps Janson and Miles could be quite useful to me. Together, we'll crush any threat in our path until the three of us are in the final three together, and then after that, it's every schemer for himself. Quite the simple plan, but I guarantee you it'll work like a charm." Lester told the camera with a sly look on his face.
-End Confessional-
Meanwhile, in the Bass cabin, the girls were having a discussion about their beds. "Alright, so there's seven of us left, but only six beds on one side of the cabin. Which means that one of us is going to have to sleep by themselves on the other side of the cabin." Michelle stated.
"How about we just move one of the bunk beds from the other side of the cabin to this side of the cabin? That way, one of us won't have to stay on one side of the cabin all by themselves." Melissa suggested, going for a more logical approach to the situation.
"You know, that's actually not a bad idea. Me, Valerie, Kylie and Melissa will move one of the bunk beds from the other side of the cabin to this side, and then we'll put it here by this side of the wall." Sybil suggested as she walked over to a part of the cabin where she wanted to place the fourth bunk bed.
Kylie nodded in agreement. "Alright, let's go grab that bunk bed then and put it in here." The cheerleader spoke as she, Valerie, Melissa and Sybil walked to the other side of the cabin, went inside, lifted one of the bunk beds off the ground, and moved it out the door to the other side of the cabin and put it down in the corner that Sybil had suggested.
"And there we go! That should work quite nicely!" Melissa said with a smile as the girls all high fived each other.
-Confessional: Sybil-
"You know, me and the other girls showed quite a good sense of teamwork by thinking of a solution for the bunk bed problem together and then working together to put a fourth bunk bed on our side of the cabin. If we can work together as a team that well during the actual challenge, I have a good feeling about our chances of winning this challenge." Sybil spoke with a smirk.
-End Confessional-
The scene then cut to the mess hall, where the girls were sitting at the Killer Bass' table and the guys were sitting at the Screaming Gophers' table. "Alright, campers! Now that you've all gotten settled into your new cabins, it's time to explain the challenge to you! As mentioned, this challenge will be a boys vs girls challenge, and one that is guaranteed to have your tastebuds begging for Chef's tasteless slop: The Brunch of Disgustingness!" Chris explained to the campers, some of which had a worried look on their face.
"Here's the deal: Chef is going to make you all a gross 9-course meal, and every single one of you will have to eat every single meal Chef is going to serve to you. You won't know if a meal is going to be more gross, less gross, or just as gross than the previous one. But it's definitely going to be gross alright!" Chris told the campers as him and Chef once again struggled to contain their laughter.
"Okay, seriously, guys. That laughter is starting to get annoying. Knock it off." Sybil told the two hosts with an annoyed look on her face.
"I also have some good news for you guys: No one is going home this episode!" Chris told the campers as they all had a delighted look on their face. "You're just going to be playing for the reward that the viewers back home have voted for either gender party to win, and believe me: This reward is a good one." Chris assured the campers.
"Tell 'em what the winner of this Viewer's Vote'll get, Chris." Chef told his raven haired co-host with a smile.
"The winner of the Viewer's Vote will get to join me on a weekend trip to a 5-star resort where you'll be able to get treated on any ailments you might have contracted from today's challenge, eat fancy food, get wellness treatments and anything else that you may like! The losing team...is going to spend the next weekend at Camp Wawanakwa with Chef." Chris explained to the campers.
Chef chuckled sadistically. "Don't worry yourselves none. I have a lot of fun activities planned for the losing team this weekend. It's gonna be the best weekend ever." He told the campers with a sadistic grin as the campers all shared a worried look.
-Confessional: Valerie-
"My papi raised me to be a strong young señorita, and I'm not only physically and mentally strong, but my stomach is also strong! It can take any disgusting thing that I eat! Except for mushrooms. That shit is bad for my digestive system." The blonde admitted as she rubbed her left arm with her right hand while having an awkward look on her face.
-End Confessional-
"Hey, boys! Are you ready for a battle of the genders? Me and my girls certainly are!" Valerie said to the guys with a prideful grin.
Zane gave his friend a smile. "Very well, Valerie. May the best gender win." He replied to her.
"Alright, are you guys ready for the first course? You should be! Chef, bring it in!" Chris told Chef as the muscular black man put down the first course on both tables, then removed the cover from the plate, revealing some pretty big meatballs.
"Ooh, meatballs! That doesn't seem so bad for a first course!" Nathan said with an optimistic smile.
"Well, you're not wrong, Nathan. They are meatballs, but a special kind of meatball." Chris told the fun loving athlete with a smile.
"They're beef meatballs bourguignon." Chef chimed in with a grin before the scene cut to a bull quivering on the ground in fear.
The scene then cut back to the mess hall, where all the guys had widened eyes in horror as they realized what they were about to eat. "Oh, gosh, no..." Janson muttered in horror.
Lester then held up one of the "meatballs", looking worried. "My marbles are gonna hurt when I chew this stuff..." He muttered before all the guys began to eat their "meatballs" with tears in their eyes.
"It's the hardest thing a man can do..." Chris quietly said while the girls looked on at the guys' reaction to their meal.
"I can't believe we're gonna be eating an animal's reproductive organs..." Sybil said as she looked at her meal in disgust.
"Yeah, it doesn't really sit right with me, but we're going to have to if we want to have a shot at winning this." Melissa chimed in.
"Just pretend they're meatballs your parents make for you back home, and you should be fine." Michelle added before the girls started to eat their meatballs with little to no trouble as the guys looked on in horror.
-Confessional: Kylie-
"I don't know what guys have against eating another man's reproductive organs, but I'm sure it's some sort of moral code thing that guys have going on. I couldn't imagine what would happen if this first course was the other way around..." Kylie shivered in disgust at the thought.
-End Confessional-
The girls soon finished all of their "meatballs" while the guys hadn't even finished half of theirs. They were groaning as they struggled to finish the rest of their meatballs, eventually giving up after swallowing their fifth meatball.
"Chris, we're throwing the towel in the ring for this first course..." Nathan groaned in agony.
"Yeah, as much as we hate to do so, we just can't take another bite of this stuff..." Miles moaned as he rubbed his forehead.
"Very well. Looks like the first round goes to the girls!" Chris announced as the girls cheered and the guys sighed.
"Thanks for handing the first round win to us, guys. We appreciate it." Sybil smirked at the guys.
"Hey, not our fault that we have a moral code against eating gonads." Lester replied with an annoyed look on his face.
Zane gave Lester a pat on the back. "Don't get worked up about it, Lester. We still have eight courses to go, so this is still far from over." He told the short teen with a reassuring smile.
Lester smiled and nodded. "You're right, Zane. We still have a chance of winning this." He agreed.
-Confessional: Janson-
"Once this horrendous challenge is over, I certainly hope that the viewers back home have voted for me and the other gentlemen left in the game to win that reward, because I could certainly use a weekend of wellness treatments to recover from how horrendous this challenge is."
-End Confessional-
"Alright, time for the next course! Do you guys like French fries?" Chris asked the campers as Chef brought out the second course.
"Damn right I do! Someone once dared me to eat as many French fries as I could, so I did! I ended up getting wicked heartburn and had to spend a few nights in the hospital afterwards, but it was all worth it!" Regina said with a confident grin.
"Then I'm sure you'll really love these French fries: Fried fingers that humans lost in firework accidents!" Chris continued as Chef removed the cover from the plate, revealing the "French fries" and causing the campers to gasp.
"Deep fried human fingers?! Is that even legal?!" Melissa asked in shock.
"I know, I was horrified when I learned that our producers selected this as a meal for this challenge myself. I tried to protest against it, but unfortunately, I didn't have a say in it. So you have no choice but to eat this." Chris told the campers with a guilty frown.
Zane nodded at that. "Just remember, guys: Pretend these things are actual French fries, and we should be able to eat it." He told his fellow men, who proceeded to nod as they began to eat their meal, while the girls stared at their meal in utter horror.
"Can you believe that the producers are making us eat this shit?!" Michelle asked angrily.
"Yeah, this is so inhumane." Cameron nodded in agreement as she looked at her "French fries" in horror.
"Well, I say we're eating this! I'm not flushing my pride down the toilet just because of some moral conundrum we have with eating a human's body parts! If we can eat an animal's reproductive organs, then eating a human's body parts should be a walk in the park!" Valerie told her teammates with a determined look on her face as she began to eat her "French fries" without any issues, with Regina doing the same thing while the rest of the girls looked at them in utter horror.
"Man, you girls are insane..." Sybil muttered.
"Well, let's get to eating! I'm not losing to the guys this round!" Michelle said as she began to eat her "French fries" as well with the rest of the girls soon following.
The guys soon finished their meal and held up their empty plates. "Done!" The guys exclaimed in unison with grins on their face.
"Alright, that means the second round goes to the guys!" Chris announced as the guys cheered while the girls groaned.
"Ustedes, señoras, son jodidos pensamientos..." Valerie muttered under her breath in annoyance before Regina gave her a pat on the back.
"Don't worry about it, Val! There's seven courses left, so we still have time to show those guys who's boss!" The daredevil told the Mexican teen with a grin on her face.
"I have a bad feeling that this is gonna be a neck to neck race..." Valerie muttered once more.
"Alright, guys. We're getting on the right track towards winning this challenge. All we have to do is win the next seven rounds and then hope with all our might that we won that Viewer's Vote." Miles told the guys as he clapped his hands.
"You got it, Miles! Let's give the girls a run for their money!" Nathan cheered.
-Confessional: Nathan-
"I wonder if Melissa is enjoying this friendly competition between me and the guys and her and the girls. I certainly am, even if the challenge is a yucky one."
-End Confessional-
-Confessional: Melissa-
"As disgusting as this challenge may be, I'm actually really enjoying it. Especially the friendly competition between me and the girls and Nathan and the guys. After all, we're not playing for immunity today, which makes the mood during the challenge a lot less tense compared to other challenges. I like it."
-End Confessional-
-Confessional: Chef-
"This next meal is one of my specialties. I got an award for "Worst Meal In All Of Canada" during the Ontario Annual Cook-Off for this meal. I gave said award a special place above my fireplace back home." Chef chuckled as he scratched his buttocks.
-End Confessional-
"Everyone ready for course #3?" Chris asked the campers as Chef removed the cover from the plate once more to reveal the next disgusting meal. "Lasagna! Well, actually, it's cardboard boxes with sticky glue and expired peanut butter." The raven haired host admitted as the campers looked in horror at their next meal.
"O-Oh hell no! I'm not eating that shit!" Lester said in horror as he tried to get up and leave, but Zane grabbed him by the collar of his shirt.
"You have no choice but to eat it, Lester. Who knows what kind of punishment Chris could have in store if you refuse to eat a meal?" Zane asked the short teen with a neutral expression on his face.
"Zane's right, Lester: If you refuse to eat a meal in this challenge, you could face punishment from Chef." Chris told Lester with a smile as Chef grinned creepily at the short teen, unnerving him.
"Okay, fine. I'll eat it." Lester sighed as he grabbed a knife and fork, with the rest of the guys doing the same thing, and they began to eat.
The girls then grabbed their knives and forks as well and began to eat. "Ugh, this is bullshit...Whoever's in charge of coming up with these challenges is an asshole and deserves to be Pile-driven into oblivion like any of the bosses in the game Buiseppe World..." Michelle groaned in agony as she ate her "lasagna".
"Keep it together, Michelle. We'll get through it. And besides, there's a 50% chance that once this challenge is over, we'll be able to enjoy the weekend at a 5-star resort." Cameron told the gamer girl with a reassuring smile as she ate.
"I fucking hope so..." Michelle groaned once more as she continued to eat.
"As gross as this challenge may be, I actually find it a very fun idea. I wonder if more shows like this one have eating challenges like this one?" Nathan pondered out loud as he ate his "lasagna".
"I hope not. I would hate to see people suffer the same fate as us and eat muck like this..." Janson sighed as he ate.
Soon, the girls finished their "lasagna" and held up their empty plates. "Done!" The girls said in unison as Regina burped up a piece of cardboard.
"And the third round goes to the girls! The score is now 2-1 for the girls!" Chris announced as the girls cheered while the guys looked disappointed.
"Ugh, that lasagna was without a doubt the worst lasagna I've ever eaten. In fact, it's so bad, that you can't even call it lasagna." Lester groaned as he held his stomach before gagging and rushing out the door, towards the communal washrooms and rushing inside, slamming the door of a toilet before barfing everything he's eaten so far out, causing birds around the communal washrooms to fly away.
Chris, Chef and the other campers could hear the sound of Lester emptying his stomach in the toilet, and they cringed at the sound of it. "Yikes, that's gonna be quite the job for the cleanup crew..." Chris muttered with a concerned look on his face.
"Tell me 'bout it. Well, gotta get back into the kitchen to prepare the fourth course. Be right back." Chef added before disappearing into the kitchen again. Lester soon returned to the group and sat back down, his face looking a little pale.
"Dang, you okay, Lest?" Nathan asked Lester as he patted the short teen on the back.
"I think so...I just hope the next few courses won't be as bad..." Lester muttered.
"Well, whether the next few courses are gonna be worse than the last one, we have no choice but to get on with it. If we want to have a shot at winning the Viewer's Vote reward, we're gonna have to work hard to earn it." Miles then spoke up.
"I'm going to have to agree with Miles. A reward is only rewarding if you've worked hard to earn it." Janson chimed in.
"It's always been that way." Zane nodded.
"Alright, girls. We're getting there. Let's continue eating Chef's, um..."meals" and then hope to the divine beings above that we won the Viewer's Vote, shall we?" Melissa asked her teammates to motivate them.
Sybil nodded in agreement. "Yeah. I mean, what could be worse than bull balls, deep fried human fingers and cardboard lasagna?" The ingenue asked.
"I have no clue, and I don't wanna find out, in all honesty." Michelle pouted as she folded her arms in front of her chest.
"Oh, cheer up, Michelle! This challenge is one of the best ones I've experienced yet, and all you're gonna do is whine and complain about it?" Regina asked the gamer girl with a grin before giving her a pat on the back.
"If you think eating shitty food like this is fun, then be my guest, Regina. But I'd rather be stuck on Hairy Hamster in Tyke Myson's Sock 'Em for four years than have to eat Chef's crap any longer." Michelle continued to pout. Regina looked at the rest of the girls in the group as they shrugged, unsure about what to add to the conversation.
-Confessional: Regina-
"Okay, that Michelle girl has quite some attitude to her. And not a good one that I can relate to, but a really shitty attitude. I wonder how the girls on the Gophers were able to put up with her for the past few weeks."
-End Confessional-
"Alright, folks, Are you all ready? Here comes the fourth course!" Chris announced as Chef removed the covers from the next meal. "What's a 9-course meal without soup? That's why Chef has made you all soup made of sweat that Chef collected from his morning workout mixed with baby food and cat food!" Chris continued as some of the campers gagged at hearing what they were being served.
Valerie looked in disgust at her meal before a look of determination formed on her face. "Girls, watch me and follow my lead, okay? We're gonna give those boys a run for their money." The Latina told her teammates before picking up her bowl and drinking from it as the other girls looked at her in disgust. Valerie soon put down her bowl and looked at the girls. "Now you try." She said.
The other girls reluctantly nodded as they also picked up their bowls and proceeded to drink their soup before putting down their bowls and exhaling deeply.
"And the fourth round also goes to the girls!" Chris announced as the girls cheered and high fived each other while the guys looked at them in defeat. "The score is now 3-1 for the girls! With five courses left to go, will the guys be able to make a comeback? Let's find out as we continue with...The Brunch of Disgustingness." The raven haired host said as the camera zoomed in on his face.
A montage of four of the five remaining courses in the Brunch of Disgustingness was then shown. The campers had to eat expired meatloaf, ice cream made of toe cheese and mice poop, a stew made of ketchup, onions and armpit hair and a footlong sandwich with unwashed socks on it.
The scene then cut to the campers groaning from all the disgusting meals that they had to eat. "And to our great surprise, the score has been tied at 4-4, and we're currently at our last course! Once this final course has been eaten up, we're gonna find out which team won the Viewer's Vote and will get to enjoy a weekend trip on the S.S. La-Luxe!" Chris announced as the camera showed a luxury yacht docked at the Dock of Shame.
"Here's your final course, kiddos! Bon appetit!" Chef told the campers with a smile as he removed the covers from the final meal: A bowl of popcorn made from fried spiders.
"Uhhhh, what is this?" Kylie asked Chef.
"It's popcorn. Popcorn made from fried spiders." Chef replied with a smile.
A bunch of campers gagged from this. "Spiders? Ugh, I once had to watch people eat spiders for a survival documentary in biology class, and it made me vomit all over my desk..." Melissa groaned as her stomach began brewing. "I'll be right back..." She said before she rushed out the door of the mess hall and into the communal washroom before she began throwing up everything she had eaten up until that point as Chris, Chef and the other campers cringed at that.
"Yeah, I figured at least one of you guys would react that way to this last course...I almost threw up when I heard this was gonna be the final course myself." Chris admitted as he rubbed the back of his head.
"Well, we're gonna eat it, whether we like it or not! I want to be able to have won the Viewer's Vote reward by winning this challenge fair and square!" Valerie said as she slammed her right fist down on the table with a look of determination on her face.
"That's the spirit, Valerie. Once Melissa gets back, let's get this last course into your stomachs." Chris smiled.
"Okay, gentlemen. No matter how disgusting these fried spiders may be, we have to stomach them. Sure, the viewers back home may have decided who wins the reward, but winning that reward would be made even sweeter by winning the challenge itself as well, if you all know what I mean?" Janson told his teammates as the guys all formed a huddle.
"Janson's right. Winning the reward would be satisfying, but winning both the challenge and the reward would be even more satisfying." Miles agreed.
"Well, what are waiting for then? Let's get this show on the road!" Nathan quietly cheered. The guys then all put their hands on top of each other.
"Guys rule!" The guys all quietly cheered in unison. Melissa soon returned from the bathroom and sat back down in her seat, groaning.
"Sorry about that...My stomach began acting up from the memory of watching people eat spiders in biology class..." Melissa sighed.
"No worries, Melissa. We don't blame you." Chris assured her. "Now, with that little wretchfest out of the way, on with the final course of this challenge!" He added. Both the guys and the girls began eating their "popcorn" like madmen, desperately trying to be the first to finish their meals. Eventually, the guys and the girls both finished their meals at the same time and held up their empty bowls.
"Done!" The campers all exclaimed in unison.
"Whoa-hoa-hoa! Both teams finished their meals at the same time! Impressive!" Chris beamed as the guys and girls' eyes widened in shock. "If the winner of the reward wasn't decided by the viewers back home, we would've had a tiebreaker challenge, but since the winner of the reward was decided by the viewers back home, there's no need for a tiebreaker challenge! So let's find out who won that reward!" The raven haired host continued.
-Confessional: Michelle-
Michelle had her fingers crossed. "Please, please, PLEASE let the winner of the reward be the girls..." The blond haired girl begged to no one in particular.
-End Confessional-
-Confessional: Miles-
"Okay, the moment of truth: Who won that Viewer's Vote reward?"
-End Confessional-
The scene then cut to Chris giving the teams a debrief. "Alright, campers! It's been a long and horrifying challenge, but at the end of the day, only one of you could win the Viewer's Vote reward. With a vote of 2-1, the winner of the Viewer's Vote who gets to enjoy a weekend resort trip on the S.S. La-Luxe are none other than...

...The girls!" Chris finished as the girls erupted in thunderous cheering while the guys sighed and hung their heads in defeat.
"Barnacles!" Lester growled in frustration.
"Ladies, get ready for departure! We're leaving immediately! Gentlemen, I'll leave you at the mercy of Chef for the rest of the weekend!" Chris told the campers before the scene cut to Chris and the girls walking up to the S.S. La-Luxe and getting on board.
"Today's big winners are the girls, while the guys are gonna start planning how they're gonna play their cards once we head into the big merge next week. "What kind of challenges will be waiting for our 12 remaining campers after the big merge? Which campers will be falling short of the 100 grand? And which campers will reach the finish line of the competition? Find out as we head into the merge, next week on Total...Drama...Island!" Chris monologued as the S.S. La-Luxe took off with him and the girls on board.

And with that, we've come to the end of Episode 14 of Total Drama Island: The First Showdown! Apologies once again for taking so long to release this episode! I've been dealing with writer's block and also wanted to focus on some of my other stories before getting started on the next episode of this story! But just like with Episode 13, once I finally got around to writing this episode, I was able to get it done rather quickly, so that's good, am I right?
As I mentioned in my Author's Notes for the previous Aftermath episode, this episode's challenge was the Brunch of Disgustingness, which was Episode 14 in the canon Total Drama Island season! As a result of this, there was no elimination in this episode, which means we'll be going into the merge with 12 campers, which is somewhat similar to what happened in canon Island, although in this story, we'll be going into the merge with 12 campers by default rather than having two previously eliminated campers return to the game like in canon!
One more thing, as a result of there not being an elimination in this episode, the next Aftermath episode obviously won't have an interview with the next eliminated camper! Instead, Alexneushoorn and Blaineley will be interviewing the previously eliminated 12 campers about their thoughts on the 12 campers who made the merge and which one of them they think deserves to win Total Drama Island, so I hope you're looking forward to that!
So with all the Author's Notes out of the way, time for some review questions!
#1: What did you think of the episode? Did I do a good job at adapting the Brunch of Disgustingness episode?
#2: What was your favorite part of the episode?
#3: Which meal did you think was the most disgusting?
#4: Who do you think should have won the Viewer's Vote?
#5: Do you have any questions for Alexneushoorn and Blaineley at the next aftershow? They'll answer pretty much anything.
Thanks for reading, and see you next time on the aftershow. :D - Alexneushoorn
