"Last time on Total Drama Island, our campers put their cooking skills to the test as they prepared a three-course meal for yours truly. Things really got cooking between the campers. Heather pushed her team too far and ended up one chili mama. Ezekiel and Harold had a hard day. The Gopher smelled something fishy when Beth was suddenly voted off. Confession cams revealed that it was Heather tampered with the votes. Will Heather survivor? Will Geoff and Duncan earn back their team trusted? Tune in right now on Total Drama Island."
*** Intro ***
The Bass team, minus Geoff and Duncan, were worriedly outside while Chef checked on Harold and Ezekiel.
Katie was sniffling and being consoloed by Courtney, and Bridgette was pacing back and forth. The last few minutes were filled with tense silence. The silence was broken when Courtney spoke up, a int of annoyance in her voice. "Bridgette, stop pacing. They're going to be fine."
Bridgette remained silent and continuing to pace. The silence continuing as Chef soon came out announcing, "They're fine, just a slight concussion."
Katie gulped "Are they going to be sent home."
Chef shook his head, "Nah, they be fine. The maggots are stronger then they look."
"Can we see them?" Bridgette asked.
"They're sleeping right now, but sure for a few minutes."
The Bass walked into the tent and were treated to the sight of Harold and Ezekiel with bandage around their heads and sleeping peacefully. Courtney shrugged, "see, told you they'll be alright."
Katie growled, "I can't believe those two."
Bridgette frowned also and looked to her teammates, "I'm not just going to forgive them. I'm pretty mad."
Courtney held up her hands, "Girls, Geoff and Duncan are strongest players."
Bridgette snarled, "So that gives them the right to do this?"
Courtney scoffed, "So the sexist pig deserve a second chance?"
Bridgette snarled and walked off with Katie.
*** Confessional Courtney ***
"Am I saying they deserve it? No,...when maybe the sexist pig those. But those two have no benefit for us. Geoff and Duncan are strong so they benefit us. Nerds do not."
*** Camp Grounds ***
Geoff and Duncan were sitting on the steps of their cabin, the party man sighed and smacked his forehead, "Oh man, we messed up. Oh God were f##k up on real bad!"
"Tell me something I don't know. S##t if we lose one of probably being going home."
"You got that right!"
The two guys blinked and turned to see Bridgette and Katie glaring at the two of them. Geoff gulped, "Look, we're really sorry."
Bridgette soon walked up to the two and snarled. "We're not ones you have to apologies to!"
The two boy's nodded rapidly while the girl's stormed off.
*** Confessional Geoff ***
"Great Bridgette hates me now."
*** Confessional Duncan ***
"Well, this sucks. Everyone but Courtney is giving me hell. Did I wants things to go this far? No I just wanted to teach those dorks a lesson."
*** Mess Hall ***
A few days latter there was still a great deal of tension at both tables. LeShawna and Gwen were glaring at Heather, as she was making plans with Izzy. Geoff and Duncan sat by themselves, cringing slightly at Bridgette and Katie glared. Courtney looked at the two angry girl's sighing to herself.
Ezekiel and Harold then walked into mess, with a bandages still wrapped around their forehead and sat down at their table to eat.
*** Confessional Ezekiel ***
"The past days have been nice. Strangely Chris was being extra nice to me and Harold. Extra deserts, this thing call a wifi password. I wonder why he is being so nice.
*** Confessional Harold ***
"Stupid Geoff, stupid Duncan. But hay, next time we lose one of them is as good as gone."
*** Mess Hall ***
"Good morning, campers," Chris entered the mess hall with a big grin. "Lately, I've noticed that there are certain tensions amongst you which are unresolved. Grudges that have not been settled."
Duncan jumped and snapped, "It wasn't our fault! When are you girl's going to let it go?!"
Katie snapped, "when you apologies!"
"Looks dudes I'm sorry," Geoff patted Ezekiel and Harold's shoulder.
"It's alright, eh." Ezekiel smiled, "turned the other cheek."
This confused the party animal but was please to have been forgiven.
Well I don't," Harold fold his arms. "I can tell you're not sad about what did...you're sad about what happened to you because of it."
Geoff was taken back up nodded, "I'll understand." He then glared at Duncan, "Come up dude, say your sorry."
Duncan growled and mumbled an apologies.
"Today's challenge is all about trust, teamwork and team building. To avoid elimination, you better work through your issues."
*** Confessional Bridgette ***
"I did trust Geoff once."
*** Mess Hall ***
"To win, your team will have to complete five different trust challenges. Each task will take two campers to complete. Your first challenge is going to be an extreme freehand rock climbing adventure. Duncan and Harold will compete for the Bass; Heather and Gwen will compete for the Gophers." Chris tossed the equipment on the ground. Gwen eyeballed the gear curiously, while Duncan snatched it out of Harold's hand.
"Gosh really?"
"If you think I'm letting you hold me up, your nuts!"
"Whatever!"
"Do I really have too?" Gwen pointing at Heather. "I don't want to plummet to my death."
"Relax!" She smiled. "I'm not going to threw a challenge just to kill you.."
Noah scoffed, "That's reassuring."
"Same dork." Duncan smirk.
"Wouldn't it make sense for you to go? You're clearly stronger." Harold poined out.
"That actually make sense," Duncan replied.
"Well, you guys won't be holding each other up exactly," Chris explained. "One camper pulls the slack through the belay while the partner climbs. If the camper falls, the belay will stop them from falling." Chris said, sounding almost disappointed. "Whoever makes it to the top first wins, but watch out I've placed a few special surprises on the mountain along the rusty nails, slippery oil slick and some minor explosives."
"Is this even safe?" Gwen asked nervously while Heather smirked at her.
"I hope not," Chris responded with a laugh, "Now, the ground team, it's your job to hoist your partner up. If you let go of the roped, it could mean danger for your partner."
"There you go," Heather smiled and tugged on the rope to show Gwen that it was tight.
"Don't sweat it It'll be like climbing a tree." Geoff smiled.
"You know, just with added explosives," Noah pointed out, making Gwen gulp and Duncan just shrugged. Trent raised an eyebrow and Noah turned to him. "Oh right, sorry."
"Alright campers, it's show time."
Chris had Duncan and Gwen stand at the bottom of the cliff, and he signalled for them to start. They both scrambled with Duncan taking an early lead.
"You, got this, Gwen! Hustle!" Heather yelled from below.
Duncan climbed the rocky hill with relative ease, carefully avoiding the rusty nails sticking out of the side as he made his way up. Just as when she thought he had things in the bag, a sudden explosion caused her to fall, landing well below Gwen's position on the cliffside.
"I can't watch," Bridgette cried and closed her eyes as she held onto Ezekiel.
"Harold!" Duncan groaned in frustration, for once his voice tinged with fear.
"I got you, just keep climbing," Harold called out, giving him a thumbs-up and Duncan utilized his strength, making his way back up.
Gwen, who was obviously struggling was almost halfway up the mountain.
"Keep up the good work, Gwen, you're almost there!" Trent yelled.
"Or is she?" Chris smiled and pulled out a water gun and pointed it at Heather and Harold, but instead of squirting water, the gun squirted hot sauce, which caused the two of them to let go of the rope.
"The hell? Chris?" Heather tried to rub hot sauce out of her eyes, letting go of the rope that supported Gwen.
While Gwen was clung to a rock, Chris switched his focus to Harold, making him let go of his rope.
"Watch it, that burns!" Harold yelled.
"Dork if you let go one more time I'll throw you off the F###ING cliff!"
"I got you!" Harold gulped and grabbed the rope, and Duncan continued his climb with his team cheering, using all of his strength, he pushed through and reached the top. However, a smiling Chris revealed a large red button. Pushing it caused an explosion and Duncan let go of the rope. Harold was jerked forward by his sudden plummet, losing his footing. They both screamed as their bodies flailed uncontrollably through the air. Finally, the weight of both campers managed to balance out, and the two jocks were hanging helplessly in mid-air.
"This bites," Duncan groaned.
"And the Gophers takes round one!" Chris announced. Gwen cheered from above as the line snapped and sent Duncan and Harold to the ground. The two moaned in agony much to Chris amusement.
"Bridgette, their alright. You can open your eyes now, eh." Ezekiel said as he was comforting a scared Bridgette.
She opened her eyes and looked back at Ezekiel and smiled, "thanks, that was so scary," She blushed before letting go of him, and awkwardly rubbed her arms.
*** Confessional Geoff ***
"This doesn't look good dudes," Geoff sighed. "I'll screwed up really bad and it looks like Bridgette is fallen more for homeschool. I have to think of something to earn her trust back."
*** Mess Hall ***
Izzy and Noah were on one side of the mess hall, and Bridgette and Geoff were on the other side with Chris standing in the middle.
"And now for Round 2, Izzy and Bridgette are cooking; you'll be preparing fugu sashimi. These traditional Japenese fish have enough poison to kill 30 people. So, the dish must be prepared carefully," Chris chuckled. Noah gulped as he looked at Izzy, and Geoff was nervous, considered what he did to homeschool. Was Bridgette a revengeful type.
Chef smiled as he tapped on a fish tank, making them puff out. "Fishes, meet your makers," Chef said as he tossed a blowfish on to the plates for both teams. Noah began to sweat at the smirk on Izzy's face.
"You, uh, sure you know want you're doing?" Noah asked.
"Sure, Izzy has a Ph.D. in Biology," the crazy girl replied. "Izzy has been practicing on dead animals since Izzy was three." Noah raised an eyebrow hesitant to believe a word of Izzy's story. On, the other team, Geoff just sat back and watched Bridgette prepare the fish. When she finished, she passed the plate to him; the party boy looked at it a little unsure, he turned to Bridgette, and slowly he finally took a bite.
"Wow, that's really good." Geoff smiled and finished the rest of them, Bridgette just folded her arms and gave a blank expression.
Chris and everyone else turned to Noah, who poked the fish with his fork. The bookworm had to admit that it looked just as good as Bridgette's did, but, this was Izzy he was dealing with.
"Oh, don't be a baby!" She barked. "It's fine. Izzy had to eat hundreds of this while hiding from the RCMP. Not once did Izzy get sick."
Noah didn't get a chance to argue as Izzy shoved the entire plate of the blowfish into the bookworm's mouth.
"Not bad," Noah replied, suddenly his eye began twitching violently, and he gripped his chest. Groaning, Noah's skin turned blue, and he collapsed, twitching in agony and throwing up everywhere.
"Bass win!" Chris called, looking at Noah indifferently.
"Aren't you going to help him?" Geoff looked down at Noah.
The bookworm's shallow breathing was terribly thin. Bridgette, remembering back to her first-aid training, struck a finger down his throat. After puking hard, Noah breathing deepened and become more steady; however, he was still twitching and very pale.
Chris just glanced down and shrugged, "He looks great to me!" Noah grunted in agony as the camera cut to Chef preparing to give mouth-to-mouth, to Noah deafening screams.
"Izzy doesn't understand," Izzy replied, popping a piece of fish in her mouth, "It tastes great to Izzy." Everyone watched dumbfounded as nothing bad happened to Izzy while she finished off the plate of blowfish.
Geoff followed Bridgette out of mess hall. "Yeah, Bridgette that was very good. You're a great cook."
The surfer didn't response as they walked in silence for a few minutes. "Come up Bridgette say something.
Bridgette huffed a bit. "Are you really like that? Picking on people? Was this nice guy I thought you were an act?"
Geoff looked down ashamed, "No. I mean I like playing pranks. But I didn't mean for things to go this far. It just Harold was leaving his dirty underwear around the cabin. I just wanted to teach him a lesson. But things went to far."
"And Ezekiel?"
"Oh...he was also leaving his clothes lying around." Geoff replied rather quickly, he didn't want to admit he was a little jealous. It made him feel sick, he should be happy that Bridgette found a decent enough guy. ""I understand if you hate me. If you don't want to be friends with me anymore."
She then crossed her arms and examined the examined the party boy and took a real good look at him. He was drain of his joy. She was not genuinely a mean person by nature and would hardly hold a grudge against someone for very long. Taking a deep breath, she relaxed her shoulders and sighed.
"Look, I was upset with want you did," she finally said, "But I'm willing to give people second chances. Like with Ezekiel, he showed me that he's more then a sexist pig and is quite nice guy and I'm happy to get to know him better."
*** Confessional Bridgette ***
"I am still upset with what Geoff did. But I could tell he was ashamed for what he did."
*** Forest ***
Chris had bought all the campers, minus Noah, to an area in the forest to continue their challenge. This next challenge consists of three tasks; I call it the three blind challenges! It'll begin with Willam Tell, followed by the blind trapeze, and will end with the treacherous blind tobogganing. They'll each have two people per team, but one of them will be blindfolded.
"For the first task, you will be knocking arrows off your partner's head with applies like the legendary marksman William Tell," Chris explained. He tied a blindfold around his eyes, and then, wielding a slingshot he flung an apple hitting Ezekiel in his manhood, causing the boy to fall over, gripping himself in pain.
"Isn't it supposed to be the other way around?" Trent asked, "Knocking apples off with arrows?"
"Shush," Chris replied, "the team for the Bass is Courtney and Katie. The Gophers will be Heather and LeShawna. The first to knock the arrow off wins!"
"I'm doing it!" LeShawna glared, and Heather nodded hesitantly.
"I can do it," Katie reassured Courtney, she just shrugged and put on her safety goggles.
"Alright, lets rock and roll..." Just as Chris began the challenge
Heather and Courtney stood across from now blindfolded Katie and LeShawna with their safety goggles on and an arrow on their heads. Katie and LeShawna put an apple in their slingshot and began firing at their partners.
Katie and LeShawna began pelting their partners with apples, ignoring their screams, telling them where to aim. After what felt like ten minutes of the two getting pelted and bruises, LeShawna was able to knock the apple off.
The Gophers cheered and embraced in victory, LeShawna grinning at Heather seriously bruise face.
With the first of the blind challenges done, Chris brought the campers to a trapeze platform over a pond.
"Welcome to your second task, the blind trapeze," Chris said as the campers gathered around him. "To avoid serious injury, the trapeze has been set up over this pond, which is filled with jellyfish."
The teens gasped and stepped away, except Izzy who jumped in the water giggling wildly with a wide grin.
"Okay..." Chris replied as he returned back to the campers and tossed a blindfold to Bridgette and Izzy. "Two of you will be blindfolded on the platform and hope your partner catches you because that will be a painful fall. Ezekiel and Trent will be catching."
The Bass were up first. Bridgette stood upon the platform while Ezekiel swung on trapeze. Bridgette was visibly scared to jump.
"You trust me?" Ezekiel said as he swung back and forth.
"Of course I do," Bridgette weakly replied.
"Alright. I'm going to count to three and when I reach 3, I want you to jump." Bridgette nodded in response. "Okay. Get ready. One...two...three!"
On Ezekiel's mark, Bridgette jumped off the platform. He easily caught her and swung her to safety to the cheers of their team. "Well done, Bass," Chris commented. "Alright Gophers, you're up."
Trent began swinging on the trapeze, with Trent in position to jump. Izzy seemed much more confident than Bridgette.
"Alright, now!"
Izzy jumped off the platform and missed Trent and fell into the field of jellyfish; her screams that sounded like pleasure could be heard as the jellyfish stung her mercilessly. Chris chuckled while the remaining campers winced at Izzy.
*** Camp Grounds ***
While waiting for Chris to announce the next part of the challenge, campers were hanging out with each other. Gwen, Trent and LeShawna were sitting on the porch steps of the boy's cabin.
"Once Noah gets better, we should talk to him about voting off Heather."
"I'm fine with that." LeShawna smiled, "That girl has been pain in my but sinse day on."
"I'm fine with that," Trent replied, "But it be low to throw challenges."
Meanwhile, Geoff and Duncan, were walking around the camp grounds.
Bridgette and Ezekiel were taking a stroll around the camp.
"That was really brave of you, " Ezekiel smiled.
"I was nothing I knew you wouldn't let me drop." Bridgette replied.
"Don't cut yourself short. That took some serious gut eh. I probably wouldn't have been able to do it if I was you."
Bridgette giggled and blushed. The two locked eyes and smiled. They began to lean in when suddenly
"The last one there is a rotten egg!" Katie cried out as she, Courtney were running to the docks for a swim. A completely naked Izzy followed behind him; at the sight of Izzy's naked form, Ezekiel's nose began to bleed profusely.
The prairie boy reluctantly took off to clean himself off, leaving a confused Bridgette by herself.
Gwen and the others entered the infirmary where Noah was lying in bed, still blue and vomiting, Chef walking over to him with a giant needle.
"This won't hurt a bit, it will hurt a whole lot," Noah screamed in agony.
"Maybe we'll talk to him later?" Trent said.
*** Forest ***
"And now for the final challenge: Blind tobogganing. Each team will have a driver and a navigator. The driver will be blindfold, and the navigator gives directions," Chris smiled as the campers cringed at the thought of how dangerous it would be. "We're all tied up, 2 to 2, so whichever team wins this challenge, wins immunity for their entire team. For the Gophers it will be LeShawna blindfold and Gwen giving directions. For the Bass, Ezekiel will be blindfold and Courtney will give directions.
Courtney gave Ezekiel a look of unease, "Just listen to me and follow my directions." Ezekiel nodded in agreement. "That's if you think a girl can't do that."
"Let's go, girl," LeShawna smiled and patted Gwen back; Chef was painting lubricant on the toboggans rails, while the teens stood by anxiously.
While Chef chuckled and prepared the toboggans, the remaining campers waited down below. When the four campers were in position, Chef and Chris pushed the two teams down the hill; the toboggans picked up speed and rocketed down the slope.
"Left... Now right..." Gwen instructed LeShawna, who managed to avoid the obstacles.
"Left... you know what left is?" Courtney replied.
"Yes!" Ezekiel replied
"Shut up and focus!" a sudden explosion, beside them, the blast flung them in the air, and they landed in a tree getting stuck.
"What was that?" LeShawna asked, and the camera turned to show Chris holding a switch connected to various explosives with a big grin on his face. He gleefully pressed the switch again, sending off more explosions.
"Were, almost there just a little farther," Gwen smirked as they crossed the finished line.
"You did it!" Trent ran over and hug Gwen.
"The Gophers took it!" The Gophers team cheered as as the Bass hung their heads, disappointed.
*** Elimination Ceremony ***
When the Bass arrived at the bonfire.
"Alright, campers today was fun." Chris smiled.
"Okay, you know the drill: the first marshmallow goes to Bridgette."
The surfer smiled and collected her marshmallow.
"Harold and Katie!" The two smiled at each other before walking over to get their marshmallows.
"Ezekiel and Courtney!" The praise boy smiled and raised and hand to give her a high five, she snarled, and he lowered his hand.
"Duncan and Geoff, one of you are going home tonight."
The two nodded and smiled and each other.

"Geoff." The party animal exhaled, then smiled in relief before the marshmallow was flung to him. With a quick hand, he caught the marshmallow and popped it into his mouth. "Sorry, dude."
"Duncan," Chris said, "I'm afraid that is that.
The punk merely shrugged, though his body language told a different story, one of sadness. "It's fine, dude. I actually saw it coming, so no regret."
With his duffel bag in hand, Duncan headed for the Dock of Shame, Katie nodded towards him as a good-bye, Bridgette waved, and Geoff high-fived him. Ezekiel and Harold awkwardly shook his hands.
"Courtney?" Duncan said, before being glomped by a freckle-faced brunette. The CIT looked up at the criminal with misty eyes.
"What Princess? Wanna give your prince a kiss before he leaves?"
"You're an ogre, not a prince," she said, wiping the forming of tears from her eyes.
"Shrek was a prince?" Harold suggested.
Duncan laughed at this, then his lips were suddenly caught by Courtney's. They kissed, and most of the campers couldn't help but smile. Geoff gave him a thumbs-up, Bridgette and Katie smiled but had hint of guilt over voting Duncan out. Harold rolled his eyes and Ezekiel was confused.
"I don't get it, eh." Ezekiel nudged his best friend, "They always seem to hate each other."
"Love is confusing and people can never understand it." The ginger replied.
"The real world is confusing, eh." Harold and Bridgette patted his back with a smile.
"It sure is."
It was only when the kiss lasted over half a minute that they all began to look around awkwardly.
"Alright, that's enough," Chris snapped his fingers. Chef then separated the two. Courtney wiped a tears, Geoff bolted over to Duncan and almost crushed him in a bear hug. He then walked towards the Boat of Losers and boarded it. Waving good-bye to Courtney and the others, Duncan and the Boat of Losers eventually faded from sight. The CIT sighed.
"I'm really going to miss him, even though I shouldn't," Courtney said to Bridgette.
