Chris: Previously on Total Drama Island, the contestants' nightmares were fueled as they were exposed to their worst fears. Most did their part, while others took the blame for risking a loss. Dave's crush on Sky was amplified much more from when he told her he liked her, and it was exposed to everyone. This basically left Sky confused as hell. Scott's alliance with Mike seems to be in shambles, with the only thing saving it being their winning streak. B overheard their conversation and Scott had to get him eliminated from the game due to being worried he'd spill the beans. Who'll be the next to go? Find out now on Total Drama Island!


The remaining 16 campers stand in front of Chris, eagerly waiting to hear about the next challenge.

Chris: Today, our challenge is like a real summer camp experience. You'll get in a canoe with someone else for a trip to...Boney Island!

Jo: Enough of the theatrics, Chris.

Chris: When you get to Boney Island, you must carry your canoes to the other side of the island...which is about a two hour hike through a treacherous jungle.

Dawn: But I'm little...I can't even-

Chris: Hush! When you arrive at the other end of the island, you'll build a rescue fire that will be judged by me. The first team to build their fire and return home to the beach is the winner of immunity. Now move campers, move!

Everyone starts running towards the canoes.

Chris: Wait! One more thing I should mention...legend has it, if you take anything off the island, you'll be cursed forever!

Dakota: That sounds like a movie I once starred in with Drake Bell and Oprah called-

Chris: Go!

The campers finally run to the beach.

(Conf) Mike: I am so excited for a romantic paddle across the lake with Zoey. This challenge actually sounds fun.

Scott: Hey, Mike! You're my partner!

Mike: But-

Scott: Oh Zoeyyy!

Mike: Fine.

Zoey walks over to them.

Zoey: Hey! What's up?

Scott: Oh nothing. I just thought you dropped something but it was Mike's.

Zoey: Hey Mike! Wanna ride with-

Scott: He can't, he's with me. See ya!

Brick and Jo are running to the canoes.

Brick: Bet I'll beat you to the canoe!

Jo: You're on!

Lightning: Hey, creepy girl! You can ride in my canoe! A little short one like you could use some LIGHTNING for this challenge.

Dawn: Oh, well...if you say so!

Dawn hops in the canoe.

(Conf) Dawn: I feel as if there is a growing evil presence on the island. I've decided to work with Lightning to see if his aura has any major changes.

Zoey: Cam?

She points to a canoe and signals him to hop in.

Cameron: Heck yea, Zoey!

The two get in the canoe.

Anne Maria and Dakota look at each other.

(Conf) Anne Maria: Dakota and I, we're like the odd ones out. We fight sometimes, but we're sorta like sisters. But not the Gopher sisters...know what I'm talkin' about?

Dakota: Come on. Let's prove we're not weak!

Anne Maria jumps in the canoe while Dakota pushes it.

Dakota: What did you eat for breakfast today? Jeez this is heavy…

Anne Maria: Ay, what?!

Dakota: Nevermind, got it!

Dakota pushes the canoe into the water.

Amy is already in her canoe.

Amy: Samey! Push my canoe into the water now!

Samey: But-

Amy: Hurry! Now!

Samey looks back and sees Shawn and Jasmine getting into a canoe. Sky awkwardly looks at Dave.

Samey sighs.

Samey: Fine.

(Conf) Samey: So far I haven't had to deal with Amy as much as I do at home, but I can already tell this'll be the worst challenge this season for me.

Jasmine: C'mon, zombie boy. I know you're a strong rower.

Shawn: Heh, smart assumption.

Sky: I guess that leaves us, Dave.

Dave: Uh...yeah.

(Conf) Dave: Being with Sky really messes with my emotions. She knows how I feel, but won't reciprocate the feelings. I really thought we had a connection. I feel like I let my heart get the best of me.

They get in and row in the water. All of the pairs are now rowing.

Jasmine: So what made you such a zombie fanatic?

Shawn: Zombies did. Duh.

Jasmine: But zombies aren't real...they're fictional creatures.

Shawn: That's what they want you to think.

Jasmine: So you genuinely believe there are zombies roaming the Earth right now despite never seeing one.

Shawn: Hm...yes.

Jasmine: Well I just don't see how you could base your entire life around that.

(Conf) Shawn: Just because I've never seen a zombie doesn't mean they don't exist. They hide among humans until it is time to strike. If Jasmine wants to be a victim, fine. Let her.

Shawn: Stop being so vindictive about zombies. They exist. End of story.

Jasmine: Fine. If you say so.

Lightning and Dawn are slowly falling behind.

Dawn: Are you sure you don't want me to row?

Lightning: Sha-yes, creepy girl! Lightning's got this.

Dawn: Lightning, we are starting to fall behind. We have to be able to get to the island quickly. I understand your energy in this world shows dominance but we cannot let that get to your head.

Lightning rolls his eyes.

Lightning: Fine. Just keep up.

Jo and Brick are currently in the lead.

Jo: Haha, look. We're completely decimating the others. Another win in the bag for us.

Brick: I do kinda feel bad. They must be losing a lot of friends over there.

Jo: Yet they keep the cheerleaders over that silent guy. I don't get that. He made a mistake.

Brick: If you were on that list, you'd be mad.

Jo: He wouldn't even have the votes to send any of them home. Nobody talked to him.

Brick: Obviously he thought he did.

Jo: Huh...wonder how Scott found that.

Mike and Scott are behind Jo and Brick, but still pretty far away from them.

Scott: Honestly, I think we should throw the challenge today.

Mike: To get rid of a strong member? You're nuts.

Scott: Come on, Mike. Don't say something you'll regret.

Mike: You know what, screw this alliance. I'm done being your dog, Scott. Tell Zoey. I don't care. This has completely ruined this experience for me and for some reason you continue to be rude and demeaning to me.

Scott: So that's how it's gonna be, huh...big mistake, Mike.

Mike: No, you made a big mistake by thinking you could blackmail me into doing anything. You're going down.

Scott: Zoey will certainly love this story when I tell her later.

Mike scoffs.

Amy and Samey are rowing silently.

Amy: Ugh, this silence is killing me.

Samey: Well what do you want me to do about it?

Amy: I don't know. Listen to me talk.

Samey: About what?

Amy: How much I hate Jasmine and Sky. And you better not tell them what I say. I just need to vent to a real person and not a toilet...although you kinda resemble a toilet.

Samey growls but holds herself back.

Sky and Dave are still the farthest behind.

Sky: Dave, we need to row faster. Come on!

Dave: Ugh, what's the point? We're just gonna lose anyways. Then I'm gonna get voted off for making things awkward.

Sky: You had no way of knowing Chris would humiliate you like that.

Dave: You literally told me you weren't interested and like a weirdo I kept pushing it into my brain that maybe we had a chance.

Sky: Under different circumstances, I would date you Dave. You're cute, you're funny...your eyes are gorgeous- BUT I can't because I need to win this game. I didn't come here for a relationship.

Dave: Well, at least you complimented me. Thanks.

Sky: Now come on! We have to row!

Dave begins rowing quickly.

Anne Maria and Dakota are passing several pairs.

Dakota: Look at us and our teamwork. We're unstoppable!

Anne Maria: We sure are! Woohoo!

Dakota: The pretty girls are truly unstoppable.

Zoey and Cameron are the third team behind.

Cameron: Zoey, I have a question.

Zoey: Sure, what is it?

Cameron: Do you have feelings for Mike?

Zoey: Oh, uh...why do you ask?

Cameron: Because you two are constantly hanging out, you snuggled when we went camping, and I don't know anyone who stares at Mike like you do.

Zoey: Can I be honest with you?

Cameron: Yes.

Zoey: I really like Mike. But there's no way he likes me.

Cameron: Why do you say that?

Zoey: It's just obvious. He snuggled me because it was the right thing to do to stay warm.

Cameron: I don't believe that one bit. I think he's got the hots for you. Big time.

Zoey blushes.

Cameron: It's the truth.

Zoey: Well, unless he tells me, I'm not telling him.

Cameron: If you say so.


Anne Maria and Dakota are now in front of everyone.

Dakota: Does it seem...foggy to you?

Anne Maria: Hey! I think I see the beach!

The other pairs quickly follow them as they pull up on the beach.

Jo: How'd they beat us?!

Brick: Must be good teamwork or something.

Scott and Mike arrive, followed by Zoey and Cameron.

Scott: Oh, Zoey! Great to see-

Zoey and Cameron zoom past Scott.

Zoey: Talk to you after we win this challenge, Scott!

Scott: Crap. Come on, Mike.

Mike: Whatever.

The pair starts running with their canoe over their head.

Finally, Dawn and Lightning arrive.

Lightning: Sha-yeah!

Dawn: We're late! We have to be there to support our team! Come on!

They run off.


While running, Dakota stops.

Anne Maria: What is it?!

Dakota: Did you hear something?

The bushes begin to rattle.

Anne Maria: Uh...what is that?

Dakota: I don't know!

Suddenly, a giant beaver jumps out in front of the pairs.

Jasmine: GIANT MONSTER BEAVERS! RUUUUUN!

Everyone screams and runs away. As Dawn and Lightning walk towards them, they run past them.

Lightning: Hey! That ain't cool!

Dawn: UH...Hello little beavers…

She nervously sees them sprinting at her.

Dawn: They're not stopping! RUN!

Lightning and Dawn run with their team. The Gophers and Bass split up onto different sides of the island.

While they're still being chased, Anne Maria drops her hairspray.

Anne Maria: AY! WAIT!

She turns around to grab it and sees the beavers coming.

Anne Maria: No one...messes with my hairspray...NO ONE!

She begins pummeling the beavers and attacking them. The rest of the pack squeal and turn away. Finally, they're gone.

Jo: Not gonna lie, but that was totally cool.

Anne Maria: Ay, you gotta do whatcha gotta do right?

Jo: Definitely.

They fist bump.

Scott: Now can we focus on the challenge?

Dawn: We have to go to the other side of the island.

Zoey: Ugh...perfect.

Brick: Well come on then!

They all run together back to where they came from.


The Screaming Gophers are walking and see a split in the path.

Samey: Oh no...which way do we go?!

Amy: Relax, Lamey. Obviously we go right.

Jasmine: No, we should take the left path.

Amy: Why?

(Conf) Jasmine: Honestly, I don't know why. I just wanted to do the opposite of Amy.

Jasmine: Because...uh...the beach is along that way. After we finish our fire we can just leave from that way.

Amy: Hm...fine.

They take the left trail.


As the Bass are walking, Jo suddenly starts sinking.

Jo: What the-

Brick: It's quicksand!

Everyone yells and backs up.

Jo: Well help me!

Lightning: I got you, bro!

Jo: No wait!

Lightning jumps in and gets stuck in the quicksand as well.

Lightning: Yeah...that maybe wasn't the best idea…

Dawn: Quick! Swing that rope over to them!

She points to a rope hanging from a tree branch.

Mike: Got it!

He runs over and swings the rope over to Lightning and Jo. They grab it and climb up.

Dakota: Nice!


The two teams are now at the beach building their fires.

Jasmine: Give me more wood! I think I got a flame!

The Bass stare worriedly at the Gophers.

Brick: I can start a fire!

Jo: Then do it!

Brick grabs two rocks and hits them together. There are tiny sparks, but nothing big.

Brick: It takes a while...hehe…

Jo: Hurry it up-

Brick accidentally hits a piece of wood that scrapes another, starting a small fire.

Brick: QUICKLY! Get me more wood!

At this point, the Gophers' fire is huge.

Scott looks around for wood and sees a huge shed. He walks to it and opens it to find a small bottle of gasoline.

Scott: Hm...this oughta rev things up.

He walks back and pretends to trip, throwing the bottle of gasoline into the fire. The fire becomes much larger than the Gophers'.

Chris: And we have our fire winners! The Bass!

Jasmine: Great. Another loss.

Amy: No time! Come on, this next part of the challenge is the most crucial.

Sky: Let's go!

Jo: C'mon!

Both teams start getting into their boats to row.

Jasmine: ROW! ROW! ROW!

The Gophers seem to be lagging behind slightly.

Sky: No...not this time.

Sky starts rowing way faster than she was early.

Jasmine: Nice, Sky!

It's looking like it's neck and neck.

Chris: And the winners are…

Finally, the Gophers' boats pull up before the Bass'.

Chris: THE SCREAMING GOPHERS!

Jasmine: YES! WE DID IT!

The team has a group hug.

The Bass finally arrive.

Dakota: No! We lost!

Anne Maria: Aw, man.

Jo: Crap!

Chris: Bass, I'll see you tonight at the campfire ceremony.


Brick and Jo are looking at the water.

Jo: Listen, I don't plan on voting you out, even if you did kind of mess up on the fire part.

Brick: Okay well...that's good...I guess.

Jo: But we should vote in numbers. And we need the numbers to send someone else home.

Scott: I could help with that.

Jo and Brick turn around from the dock and see Scott.

Jo: When did you get here?

Scott: About a minute ago. Listen, Mike has been throwing YOUR name around, Jo.

Jo: Seriously? I've never even spoken with him…

Scott: He's just a miserable person. It's all because he has a crush on Zoey.

Jo: Shocker…

Scott: I say we vote him out.

Jo: Do we even have the votes?

Scott: I can try to convince Dakota and Anne Maria, but it'll take some lying.

Jo: Fine, I'm good with that.

Brick looks back at the water, disappointed that he's voting his friend off.

Jo: Brick, don't be sad. Only one person can win. It's now or later.

Brick nods in agreement.

Dakota and Anne Maria are at the communal bathrooms getting ready for the elimination ceremony.

Scott: Ladies? Can I come in?

Dakota: Yeah, we're dressed.

Scott walks in.

Anne Maria: What's goin' awn?

Scott: There's a proposal for you. You two are very strong, and we have to keep the team strong.

Anne Maria: I agree.

Scott: So me, you two, Jo, and Brick should work together to take the other 5 out.

Dakota: Who do we vote tonight though?

Scott: Mike.

Anne Maria: That tease? Done.

Dakota: I'm definitely down.

Scott: Sounds good. See ya later.


Zoey, Cameron, Mike, and Dawn are finishing dinner in the mess hall.

Dawn: This vote is going to be scary...I don't know who's leaving tonight but the energy I'm getting from the world isn't promising.

Cameron: Well right here we have 4 votes. I'm sure we can easily get Brick.

As he says that, Brick walks in to get his food.

Cameron: Hey, Brick! Come over here.

Brick goes and sits with his friends, obviously distraught.

Zoey: So we wanna vote Scott out tonight.

Mike: Yeah, dude is a major jerk and cheated in the challenge. Imagine what he'll do come the merge.

Brick: You make some pretty good points, actually.

Dawn: Hey, which way is Lightning voting?

Zoey: He'll probably vote Scott too. No one likes him.

Brick: Alright, sounds good guys.

(Conf) Brick: I'm in the worst position possible. Two alliances want my vote...it's Brick or Mike tonight.


Chris: Welcome to the campfire ceremony. If you don't receive a marshmallow, you will leave on the dock of shame to the boat of losers and never return. Got it?

Jo: Yes, we know.

Chris: Good. Tonight, the vote was 5-4-1. Juicy. Let's get into it. The first people safe are...Zoey, Dawn, Lightning, and Anne Maria,

They catch their marshmallows.

Chris: Dakota, Brick, and Cameron.

They catch theirs as well.

Chris: Jo, Scott, and Mike...you all got votes. Jo is safe with one vote.

Jo eyes her team but is hit with a marshmallow.

Chris: Scott...Mike...the person leaving tonight is…

Zoey looks extremely worried. Dakota files her nails.

Chris: …

Cameron: Get on with it!

Chris: ...Mike.

Scott chuckles and grabs his marshmallow.

Mike: But...but…

Zoey: No!

Scott: Oh, and by the way Zoey...Mike's got the hots for you.

Zoey: ...Huh?

Mike: Ugh, listen Zoey. I really like you, okay? And now that the game is over for me, I guess I'm fine with just coming out and saying it.

Zoey: Aw, I really like you too Mike. You're my favorite person out here.

Chris: Aw, how sweet. Now move it along.

Mike: I'm sorry we couldn't have enjoyed our time here as a relationship.

Zoey: We'll figure something out after the show.

Mike: Do me a favor and don't trust Scott. He's evil.

Zoey: Trust me, I can tell.

Mike hugs Zoey and walks on the dock of shame to the boat of losers. He waves goodbye.


The Bass females are in their cabin. Zoey walks over to her bed and sees a small tiki idol with a note on it. "For being one of my best friends ever. - Mike"

She chuckles.

Zoey: Where did he even get this from?

Evidently happy, she stands it on the dresser next to her bunk.

Dawn: I think it looks cute.

Zoey: Same.


Chris: We'll, we're down to 15. It seems as if the Bass finally cracked tonight. This may be the start of a new beginning for the Gophers. What'll happen next? Find out next time on Total Drama Island!

Bye bye Mike. Okay, so this is the first episode with a boot that's not a real fodder character. Mike had potential to go very far and had a lot of plot to live out with Scott and Zoey. But in this version, Mike is Scott's second victim, but his true first victim in a vote. I also didn't want that plot to drag out all season. This establishes Scott as basically the main villain regarding strategy at this point. Whether this will continue is up to the future.

I really do love writing this cast. So many more relationships and rivalries that I can write that I think would have been great in canon. Anyways, see you next time!
