Disclaimer- I do not own any of the Total Drama characters that I choose to torture—I mean put in the story! They are merely here for mine, and your amusement. No profit is being made off of this (No one would would stoop as low as to pay me for this anyway) I give all credit to the creators of Total Drama, as well as Johnny Depp, because...well, he's Johnny Depp!
Notes From The Depths of Sarcasm- I have big news! *is so giddy I'm practically bouncing off the walls* So, if most of you didn't know since I'm pretty sure none of you are stalkers (At least I'm banking on that) I want to let you know that hurray! Today is my birthday, the fabulous day of which I was born! Thank you, thank you, hold the applause until after the Author's Note.
Now then, the super special thing, is that I will be updating both of my stories today—That's Total Drama Unfinished Business and The Ridonculous Reboot, as well adding A NEW STORY for you guys to read! And for once, it's not a Total Drama story... Since I know a lot of you are interested in Steven Universe and Gravity Falls, I have finally come up with a Crossover between the two and will be uploading it later today in honor of my special day :) It's kind of like a reverse birthday present! :D
Exciting news aside, I've put a poll up on my profile that pertains to Survivor/Total Drama. Essentially, I wanted to know who you guys would pick for Brains vs Brawn vs Beauty in honor of the new Survivor season that is currently airing. Right now I have the poll for the Brains team up, so be sure to head over to my profile and check that out and vote for six people that you think would make the Brainiest team! In a few weeks time I will change the poll to voting for Brawn, and then later Beauty.
Now to the reviews! And boy do we have a lot of them...(That's still good!)
DSX62415: Yeah, I figured some people would be sad to see him go but I feel like he's one of those characters who can't win when put up against the other campers. A box set of Gravity Falls would be awesome and I hope they make it where the box is like one of the journals XD I can't say I watch Power Rangers much anymore and I've never taken a look at Miraculous: Tales of Lady Bug and Cat Noir. TMNT is still pretty good though and there are always the Spongebob Seasons 1-3 reruns, but other than that nickelodeon is essentially trash XD They should just link with Cartoon Network and become Teletoon or whatever, and then give their bad sitcoms to Disney Channel!
FOWLKON: Okay I might be stupid for not getting that pun XD but I put in anyway because it still seemed to work. Yeah...I don't think Izzy has an identified brain problem but if it means we get to watch a whole island explode, so be it, right? Yes, now that Samey has revealed that she likes Cody, things are about to get steamy (Hence the chapter, perhaps?) So yes, couples are definitely taking off with their plots here. Dawn's raptor thing was written by Creaturemaster but I think it works, so I'm glad you liked it! As for Dave and Sky...they're both crazy in their own right. Let's just put it at that and see where this is going.
Zachsaur94: Yup, pretty much the entire challenge was a ripoff of Jurassic Park and much more Jurassic World. You probably didn't even list half of the references! I'm glad you liked the Dawn scene, it was actually written by Creaturemaster, so if you like stuff like that, you should check out his stuff! It's actually pretty good! I'll be sure to let you guys know when the next chapter comes out over Forums, so if you're not on that yet, you should check it out. Just PM me if you have any questions ;)
PhenomsServant: Yeah, I hated Scott in Revenge of the Island, but somehow I feel like he was done better in All-Stars, despite not being Villainous at all. I have a better plot for him here that doesn't involve him getting rid of Dawn, so that's good. And yes, I agree with you 100% that Dawn/Scott pairing needs to die.
Guest #1: Yeah, I was hoping you wouldn't think that! I had to think a lot for this one! I'm glad you liked the two big surprises this episode because I think it sort of makes up for the absence, that and the length of the chapter (100 pages, holy cow!) I'm glad you respect my decision to have Brick 'quit' but my reasoning is that it actually makes a bit of sense. While you might think he didn't owe them anything, Brick is a loyal, trustworthy guy, and when he broke that with Heather and Jo, the guilt ripped him apart. Can't give anything away with where Samey/Cody is going, but it sure will be one wild ride!
Joel Connell: Thanks! I'm glad it was worth the wait! Read the reply above yours (Guest #1) and that's the reason why Brick 'quit'. As for Samey and Cody, well, just keep reading the one above XD I kind of like that idea with Cody asking Gwen for advice, I'll think about that ;) And yeah, I noticed the trend of eliminations as well, but I can safely say Cody will not be the one going next. That's all you're gonna get out of me! XD
Glittercorn101: Well, I guess you'll just have to read this chapter to see where things are going with Cody and Samey ;)
NerdyNightStocker: Thanks! I planned to have someone get squished under the foot of the T-Rex during the battle but it didn't make it in there. That probably would have been pretty gruesome too! XD I'm glad you liked all the twists and turns this episode, it took a heck of a long time to write them! XD You could be right about your hunch for this episode, but I guess you'll just have to keep reading ;)
Guest #2: Thanks! And of course I'll answer your questions, that's what this whole thing is about! Now for your first one...I hadn't actually thought of doing that, but I'm thinking it would make sense, so I'm gonna say yes, but I don't quite know when. Oh yeah...that part was a bit inconsistent. The only two times it was mentioned was the time you said, and when Noah saw the castle I'm pretty sure. I don't really plan a love interest for Noah, so I'm gonna say that TDUB does take place after TDRR. However, Noah doesn't mention anything about Emma, or at least not right now. To answer your last one...I'm gonna say that he hasn't had a real steady relationship since Gwen. You're right, he did ask Justin to break up with his girl, so I guess that's what he meant XD I didn't really think of that when I wrote it. Wow, half a million words?! That would be awesome!
Codammy Forever: Glad to see I have a supporter for the new couple (Not that you're the only one)! I'm not sure how I'll do that, but I might have Cody give Samey a nickname, but the thing is is that Samey's had way too many nicknames (Samey, Sammy, her real name is actually Samantha) So, possibly. I can say that there will be a Pirate VR, although I'm not sure if it's the next one or not. As for the TV Tropes page, I've never actually taken a real look at it. You could start it if you want, I'll check it out too and maybe start a page ;)
A quick thing I want to mention is that I want to get a TV Tropes Page for this fic. I've checked out the website and because I'm stupid, I have no idea how to start one or how they even work. So, if anyone wants to start one, be sure to PM me and we'll talk ;)
And now that that stuff is out of the way (You may skip to the story from here) Happy birthday to me, happy birthday to me, happy birthday dear unnamed-writer-that-will-not-share-his-real-name-to-the-general-public-in-fear-of-stalkers, happy birthday to me! You may now read if you're still here for some reason.
Chapter 18 (Day 13)- Eat it and Weep
"Last time on Total Drama Unfinished Business..." Chris opened up the recap on a shot of the island, "We threw our contestants into the VR once again for a bombardment of hilarious hurts, and dinosaurs!" He grinned as clips of the previous episode were shown.
Katie was shown being carried off by a Ludodactylus followed by a clip of Max getting snapped up by the T-Rex. Compsognathuses were also shown taking Scott down. "Dakota turned Dakotazoid and tore through a bunch of raptors," Chris continued as Dakota was shown fending off the Velociraptors, "While Sky and Dave had a run in with some angry Ankylosauruses and one really angry Giganotosaurus!" The two were then shown being smashed around in the Gyrosphere.
"By far the funniest moment went to our favorite fart-machine when a Tyrannosaurus Rex got the business end of Owen's flatulence!" Chris chuckled, trying not to burst out laughing as the T-Rex was shown coughing, hacking, and spitting Owen from its mouth. "And the most dramatic moment went to the final showdown on Main Street with Indominus Rex fighting the T-Rex!" Chris declared. The clip of the T-Rex pushing the Indominus towards the waters edge to ultimately being devoured by the Mosasaur was shown.
"At the elimination ceremony, everyone was sure Izzy would be going home after costing her team the win when she full-on blew up the virtual island!" Chris exclaimed. "But Brick surprised everyone by volunteering for the Boot after the guilt of his past misdeeds ate away at him!" Chris said as Brick was shown giving a salute to his team.
"We have and even 26 left! Who will burn, who will simmer, and who will go up in flames?!" Chris cried, getting way too into it. "Find out on this sizzling episode of Total...Drama...Unfinished Business!" He finished, the camera zooming out with each pause.
~Theme Song (I Wanna Be Famous)~
The scene opened on the misty lake near the shores of Pahkitew Island. An ominous bellowing could be heard as the music took a dramatic spike. Where one would expect, say, the Loch Ness Monster to rise its head from the surface, came something entirely different.
The creature coming toward the island was identified by a single coil of braided purple that arched out of the water and then just as soon as it came out, it sunk back in.
The mysterious figure got closer to the shore where a squirrel was happily washing one of its acorns. It saw the approaching pony-tail and let out a squeaky gasp. It bounded closer a bit, wading into the water.
Suddenly, a deeply tanned fist sprouted from the water and quickly punched the critter away. The fist retracted into the water as the waves lapped against the shore, and just as soon as it was there, it was gone.
"Eat! Eat! Eat! Eat!" Several contestants cheered, many of them guys.
The camera zoomed in on Owen at one of the old wooden tables in the Mess Hall. A large crowd of teens had surrounded him, several trays of dumpling-like food sitting in front of him. "It is today that I, Owen /Middle and Last Name Withheld!/ will stuff a total of fifty, count 'em fifty dumpling-like things into my mouth!" The loveable lug declared. [1]
"Seriously? You're wasting your time and energy on a senseless eating competition to see how many dumplings you can stuff into your mouth?" Courtney asked incredulously.
"Of course!" Owen smiled.
"And for the record, it's not dumplings. It's dumpling things." Noah corrected with a sly smirk on his face.
"Whatever, you people are disgusting." Courtney rolled her eyes. The CIT picked up her tray and walked over to another table to eat somewhere else.
"Don't listen to her buddy, she doesn't know anything!" Izzy cackled. "I'm ready to see dumpling, lots of dumplings!" She grinned.
"Dumpling things." Owen corrected again.
"WHATEVER!" Izzy and Courtney who was seated far away shouted in unison, causing Owen to yelp in fear and crouch low.
"Just start-" Before Izzy could finish, Owen was already stuffing dumpling after dumpling in his mouth, starting to fill up his cheeks.
Noah surveyed the amount of dumplings left on the trays. "Wow, only down to thirty-one dumplings left!" He exclaimed. "Keep going and you might set a record!"
"A ehor?" Owen asked through a mouthful of dumplings, bits of the food-like substance flying out of his mouth.
Noah shushed him. "No talking, you might loose some dumplings." He said. Owen shoveled several more dumplings into his mouth as Izzy bit her lip giddily, barely containing her excitement.
"Dude! That is so awesome!" Geoff exclaimed, running over to watch Owen, looking just as excited as Izzy. Duncan noticed what was going and waltzed over as well.
"Dang man, that's the most of anything I've seen you fit into your mouth!" Duncan exclaimed, stopping by to watch as well.
"Twenty dumplings left...thirteen left!" Noah continued counting. "Almost to fifty!"
Jasmine walked by with her tray of breakfast and glanced at the group. She waved it off until she suddenly jerked her head back after noticing the amount of dumplings in Owen's mouth. "Crikey! You're gonna kill yourself!" She exclaimed. "Be careful there mate!"
"Don't worry, he's been training." Noah assured her.
Jasmine knit her eyebrows. "You'd certainly be able to survive in the Outback for a number of days." She deduced from his girth. "You probably wouldn't have to eat for days!"
Owen tried to say something, but it was muffled. He stopped as soon as one of the dumplings began slipping from its place in his mouth. He took a finger and quickly pushed the saliva-slicked dumpling back into place before it fell out, taking the rest of the stack with it.
"He says thank you." Izzy translated. "I speak full mouth, Swedish, Japanese, Mandarin, Old English, Yiddish, and Australian!" She grinned ear to ear.
Jasmine raised an eyebrow. "What's that supposed to mean?" She asked, slightly irritated.
"Well everybody knows that Aurstralia's weird!" Izzy began. "They've got weird animals, weird slang, and their toilets flush backwards!" Jasmine just looked at her with a slight glare.
(Outhouse Confessional- Amazon vs. Psycho-Hose Beast)
Jasmine- "Alright, not to be rude or anything, but I don't think Izzy should still be here. She clearly lost the challenge through careless acts and ended up costing us the win. She surely would have been voted out had Brick not volunteered for the Boot of Shame." She said. "I don't think he should have done that, he's a good guy and certainly could have lasted much longer. Izzy's also quite insensitive. I believe her days here are numbered." She said with a tone of authority.
"Fifty!" Noah exclaimed, causing a rousing applause from Geoff, Izzy, Duncan, and a few others that were gathered around. "He's done it! He's gotten all fifty in his mouth!" He exclaimed.
To everyone's surprise and shock, Owen took one big, huge gulp and swallowed all fifty dumplings at once. Noah stared, eyes wide at him, looking very unnerved. "Okay lunchbox, don't hurt yourself."
Suddenly there was a gurgle from Owen's stomach. Duncan's eyes widened. "TAKE COVER!" he cried, diving to the ground and hiding under a table. Noah, Izzy, and Geoff did the same.
Others throughout the cafeteria noticed this and screamed, launching into a huge panic as they ran around trying to find a safe place to hide. Chef quickly slammed a retractable metal covering over the kitchen serving window and hid in the kitchen.
Chris walked into the Mess Hall and noticed everyone ducked under tables. "Uh...what's going on?" He wondered, looking around and seeing Owen as the only one sitting on a table.
"Run McLean, run while you still can!" Noah exclaimed. "Or not and stay to see what happens. I vote you do the second option."
Chris screamed and bolted back out of the cafeteria just in time as Owen let out the single loudest burp of all time, one that could be heard from space by two particular other-worldly beings, one of which was singing the Doom Song. [2]
The earsplitting vibrations coming from Owen's stomach juices caused everyone within its radius to cover their ears as the shaking of the Mess Hall caused them to fall all over the place, even after having been crouching or laying down.
Suddenly all of the windows in the cafeteria shattered in one loud mess of broken glass which littered the floor with even more cracks. When it was all said and done, the Mess Hall looked like a Twister hit it.
Chef slowly rolled up part of the metal covering and peeked out from a small crack beneath it. "Dang boy." Was all he could say.
A moment later, Chris slowly tip-toed into the cafeteria as others were getting up."Dangit! We just got new windows!" Chris complained, stepping over the broken glass that littered the floor.
"This just in, earthquake triggered by teen on reality show!" Noah said, imitating a news anchor. "Hundreds flee from the resulting Tsunami. Residents are warned to get to higher ground, I repeat, get to higher ground."
Owen let out a chuckle. "Wow, that sure was a sonic blast!" He observed sheepishly.
"You got that right." Courtney muttered, climbing back up from the ground, grasping the table. Her usual neat brown hair was now frazzled from the shock of the belch.
"Um, could you let go of me?" Bridgette asked Katie. The BFFFL noticed that she was grasping the surfer like she usually did with Sadie when they were scared.
Katie let out a quick yelp and let go. "Sorry, I miss Sadie." She frowned. "We were always together when things went wrong." The sweet girl began sniffling, a few tears streaming down her face at the thought of her best friend without her.
"Excellent work, you sent her into another state of sobbing." Scarlett said sarcastically, a dry expression on her face as she got up from the floor.
"Well, seeing as today's challenge starts in the kitchen, why don't we all head in there so I can explain it while the interns clean up the kitchen." Chris suggested, heading through the saloon-style doors that led into the kitchen. The rest of the teens got up from their hiding places and followed Chris into the kitchen.
"Challenge time!" Chris declared with a sinister grin on his face. "Some of you may remember our very first cooking challenge from long ago back in season one! Well, we're bringin' it back!"
The crowd of contestants was awkwardly silent. "Ahem, you're supposed to be cheering." Chris reminded them. It was still silent with a tinge of cricket chirping for good measure. Chris sighed. "Fine. There's no pain." He added.
The contestants quickly erupted into cheers, voicing their joy. "Well, unless you accidentally keep your hand on the burner for too long." Chris recalled. "Now then, let's get you two into teams and I'll explain the challenge to those of you who don't know it or may have forgotten."
Chef walked up to the host and handed him two note-cards. "Ah yes, thank you Chef." The narcissistic host praised. "Team 1: Amy, Samey, Owen, Dave, Noah, Jasmine, Gwen, B, Cody, Izzy, Trent, Duncan and Leshawna!" he proclaimed.
"Alright!" Noah and Owen high-fived.
"Alright white-boy, there ain't no way I'm gonna let you eat our main course this time!" Leshawna swore, pointing a finger in the fat boy's face. "There's no curses, no leaving you alone, no nothing!"
"Alright, alright, I already ate fifty dumpling-things, I'm pretty full." Owen told her, patting his oversized belly with a grin and giggle.
"Being full never stopped you from eating, how is this different?" Noah remarked.
"I'm keepin' my eye on you." Leshawna hissed, narrowing her eyes and making the 'I'm watching you' gesture.
"And Team 2: Geoff, Harold, Eva, Katie, Courtney, Scarlett, Dakota, Bridgette, Dawn, Sky, Max, Rodney, and Scott!" The host finished reading.
"There better be no underwear-sandwiches this time." Harold snapped, narrowing his eyes at Geoff.
"Huh?" The party boy turned around. "Oh, yeah, sorry about that man. I tend to get caught up in crazy stunts!" He chuckled. "But it was Duncan who thought of it, and he's on the other team so you're all good!" He grinned.
Courtney rolled her eyes. "Ugh, so immature." She mumbled under her breath while Scott silently cheered behind her.
"Yay Sadie! We're on the same team!" Katie cheered, running over and hugging a surprised and confused Bridgette.
"Uh...I'm Bridgette. Ya know, surfer girl, big blonde pony-tail, Geoff's girlfriend?" The surfer reminded her. "Sadie left the game, remember?" She frowned.
"Oh, uh...yeah. I knew that." Katie said quietly. "Sorry, about that." She chuckled timidly, backing away with a big sheepish grin on her face. Bridgette just raised an eyebrow with concern.
(Outhouse Confessional- She's about yay-tall, and wearing the exact same thing as your friend there)
Bridgette- "I'm kind of worried about Katie, she's not acting like her self." She bit her lip. "I think she might be hallucinating after being away from Katie? If that makes any sense..."
Katie- "SADIE! I MISS YOU!" She sobbed, reaching for the camera as if Sadie might be on the other side. All of a sudden she actually did grab the camera and it went to static.
"Alright, for today's challenge, you'll be creating a three-course meal for Chef, a mystery taste-tester, and myself. You'll need to grab what you think will be suitable for the theme of your dish from the food truck out back. You'll have five minutes to gather what you need and then you'll have to bring it back to your side of the kitchen and prepare a meal fit for a king!"
"Or at the very least you, royal jester." Noah remarked with a witty grin.
"Shut it royal egghead!" Chris snapped, silencing the cynic.
"Just like last time, you'll have to appoint a Head-Chef to oversee the cooking and pick the theme." Chris continued. "And with that, I bid you good cooking, or at the very least, try not to burn down the kitchen."
The two teams raced for the back door and burst through it, headed for the food truck that was still being driven by a dolphin for unexplained reasons. There were shouts of, "Me first!" and "Get out of my way!" but soon enough each contestant left the truck with a handful of food.
"Oh yeah, and don't add any Chilli Powder!" He quickly added, causing the contestants to stop what they were doing. "I'm deathly allergic to that stuff. If anyone feeds me that stuff, your team will be disqualified. And then they'll hate you." He added ominously with a serious glare on his face. The contestants gave him blank stares and then got back to fighting over ingredients, not paying much mind to Chris's warning.
Team 1
"So, who's gonna be team leader?" Jasmine asked, looking around at her team. "Normally I'm team leader so I thought I'd give someone else a shot? Anyone?"
"As a food connoisseur and expert of the likes, I find myself to be the most qualified to be Head-Chef." Owen said with a fancy accent.
"Oh no, I'm not lettin' you taste-test nothin'! One lick and you'll be eaten up the whole plate!" Leshawna predicted, crossing her arms defiantly.
"Then who do you think should be Head-Chef?" Owen demanded.
"How about the other big guy, the one who actually has a brain." Leshawna countered, jabbing a thumb at B who was standing behind her.
B looked shocked and pointed a finger at himself with a confused look. "You heard me." Leshawna nodded.
"Anyone opposed?" Jasmine asked, looking around. No one said anything although Amy rolled her eyes. "Alright then, big fella, what's the theme gonna be?"
B stroked his chin in thought, so much so that he was practically asking the editors to place a big light bulb above his head when an idea suddenly popped into his head, as evident by the flush of emotion in the silent teen's face.
"I think he's got something." Samey exclaimed.
The inventor looked around for something and finally dug into his coat and pulled out a yellow notepad and a pencil. B began scribbling something down on the sheet and when he was done, he held it up for all to see.
"Chinese food?" Jasmine wondered. "Hmm...can't say I've had too much of that, but hey, I'll be willing to try anything!" She grinned, playfully slugging the large boy in the shoulder.
"Yes! Finally! Some actual Chinese food that isn't gross!" Cody exclaimed. "Wantons, here I come!" He grinned happily. Across from him, Samey giggled quietly.
"Chinese food?" Owen asked. "Can it be true?!" The boy's eyes had gone sparkly as his mind was lost in a world of greasy, chicken-y delights, sprinkled with rice and various sauces. "This is the greatest moment of my life." He whispered to himself.
"That's what you told me yesterday when I gave you my desert. And it wasn't even that edible." Noah reminded him. "Besides, Chinese food is full of greasy, unhealthy ingredients that will harm your intestines. Come to think of it, we're feeding it to Chris, so I'm in!" He grinned.
"I agree with Noah, well, the first part anyway." Dave chimed in. "Chinese food is greasy, and germy, and unhealthy, and Auuuugh!" He whimpered, chills shivering down his body.
"Hurray for greasy!" Izzy cheered. "I love me some fried scorpion with grasshopper hard-candy!" She grinned wickedly, licking her lips even more so.
"Um...we're going for non-authentic Chinese food. That's just gross." Noah pointed out, cringing upon hearing Izzy's favorite foods from China.
"Chinese food it is then, excellent idea, B!" Jasmine grinned. "Now let's sort through our ingredients and find the right stuff!" She instructed.
Team 2
"I call head Chef!" Courtney shouted before anyone else could as her team carried handfuls of food with them into their side of the kitchen.
"But wouldn't Geoff make a better Head-Chef? He was Head-Chef last time so he has expertise." Bridgette pointed out.
"Exactly, he was Head-Chef last time. It's someone else's turn." Courtney simply shrugged.
"Personally, I find myself to be more of a logical choice considering I know the various spices and foods that would make a proper three-course meal." Scarlett offered.
"Fine then. We'll take a vote." Courtney said. "Me, or psychopathic brainiac that tried to kill six people last season." Listed, possibly being a little bit biased. Just a little bit.
"Yes, voting would be the best option." Scarlett nodded. "A pushy, bossy, control freak, or myself. Who by the way, has been reformed into a much less murderous being."
"Sweet, voting it is!" Geoff grinned. "Who votes for Courtney?" he asked, looking around, raising his own hand. Harold, Katie, Bridgette, Scott, Dakota, Dawn, Sky and Rodney all raised their hands. "Okay, who votes for Scarlett?" Max and Eva were the only one who raised his hand.
Everyone looked at Eva with raised eyebrows. "What? I'm not gonna vote for a bossy CIT wannabe. By the way, when are you ever going to be an actual counselor?" She spat, narrowing her eyes at Courtney.
"Between my Class Presidential campaign, this stupid show, and my violin lessons, becoming a counselor is the least of my priorities. But I'm practically a real counselor anyway." She bragged.
"See what I mean!" Eva shouted.
"Doesn't matter bra, Courtney wins by a landslide!" Geoff declared with a cheer.
"So be it." Scarlett shrugged without a care.
"Sweet, so what's the theme gonna be?" Geoff asked Courtney.
Courtney tapped her chin in thought. "I was thinking along the lines of a French theme..." She suggested.
"How about Mexican?" Rodney suggested. "I love me some Chimichangas!" Rodney grinned, licking his lips.
"Contrary to popular belief, Chimichangas are actually not real Mexican Cuisine. They're actually part of a similar style of food often referred to as Tex-Mex Cuisine due to the fact that it is made in the Southwest United States, primarily Texas. Not Mexico." Scarlett informed the farm boy.
"I've been lied to!" Rodney cried.
"I like the idea of Mexican, or Tex-Mex, I suppose." Sky agreed.
"Personally, I agree with Courtney. French Cuisine seems appropriate and more sophisticated." Scarlett said.
"Evil prefers the spicy malevolence of Mexican goodness. However he is not opposed to croissants and crapes." Max chimed in.
Suddenly, everyone began voicing their opinions, some even getting into fights (Cough, cough, Eva) and arguments about which cuisine was better. "ENOUGH!" Courtney suddenly shouted. "I am Head-Chef and I am not going to loose because all of you were arguing!" She snapped.
"I believe I have a solution." Dawn offered. "Our first two dishes can be Mexican, and our desert can be French. That way everyone wins!" She chirped.
Courtney thought this over. "Hmm...French and Mexican...it could be a cultural combination!" She exclaimed. "Excellent idea Dawn!" The CIT smiled.
"I assumed it would be." Dawn nodded with a smile.
Team 1
"Alright, I'm not Head-Chef, but I don't think it takes that to know that we've got twelve people and three dishes. So, Four people can work on one dish at a time!" Jasmine instructed. B nodded in agreement, and scratched his chin in thought.
He then pointed at Dave, Leshawna, Trent, and Gwen, and made a motion with his hands that looked like he was trying to squish them together. "I'm guessing he wants Leshawna, Trent, Dave, and Gwen to be a group." Jasmine said. "I haven't got a problem with it." She shrugged.
"Yeah, well I do." Leshawna grumbled.
"Too bad." Jasmine shook her head, you elected B as Head-Chef and so he has made his decision."
Leshawna sighed and glared at Owen. "Don't think I won't be watching you!" She hissed, narrowing her eyes at Owen.
"Man! You eat an entire plate of ribs once and no one trusts you again! What's with that?" Owen wondered, looking very confused despite it being a simple concept.
B then pointed at Cody, Izzy, Amy, and Samey. "I believe he means you four." Jasmine said, trying hard not grin for unexplained reasons. Her grin then dropped upon seeing Amy. "You better be working and not scheming." She hissed.
"Sheesh! I wanna win as much as you guys do. Who knows what the reward is? Maybe it's an actual working shower!" Amy grinned, seeming much more cheery than usual.
"Excellent then. I suppose that leaves, Noah, Owen, Duncan, and I." Jasmine sum
med up. B nodded and walked off to look at their list of ingredients for the Chinese dishes.
(Outhouse Confessional- The Silent Chef is at work)
Amy- "Something tells me B picked these teams just to cause drama. I mean, Samey and her lame boyfriend with me in one group? That's just asking for it! And I sure will deliver." She grinned wickedly.
B- The silent inventor just grinned smugly and shrugged, winking at the camera before it turned to static.
B walked around and stuck a piece of notebook paper by each group. Dave sighed and begrudgingly picked the paper off of the counter top and looked at it. "Gong Bao Chicken?" He asked. "What the heck is that?"
"Clearly it's chicken of the Gong Bao variety!" Leshawna said, ripping the piece of paper out of Dave's hands. She looked at the recipe. "Oh please, this doesn't look that hard." She rolled her eyes. "Let's get right on this!"
As Leshawna, Gwen, Trent, and a very reluctant Dave walked over to the pile of various food items, B headed over to Cody, Izzy, Amy, and Samey and slapped another piece of paper down on their counter. Samey went to pick it up but Amy ripped it from her hands with a glare before the meek twin could read it.
"Spring Rolls?" Amy wondered. "Yuck!"
"Are you kidding, those are delicious! Last year my school had a Cultural Week and all of the lunches were from different countries," Samey told Cody and Izzy, "The Chinese day was my favorite." She admitted.
"Guess who doesn't care." Amy said harshly, glaring at her younger twin.
B then handed the last piece of paper to Jasmine with a smile and then walked off. Jasmine read through the paper. "Sweet and Sour Pork. Hmm, never had it before." She said, inspecting the list of ingredients.
"Pork? Did I hear that correctly?" Owen asked, taking a delightful interest. The fat boy licked his lips with a giddy giggle.
"Well you don't get to have any." Noah snapped. "The food is for Chris, Chef, and whoever this Mystery Guest Taste-Tester is."
Team 2
"Alright, as Head-Chef, I'm gonna split you guys up into groups. We've got twelve people besides myself and three meals so that'll be four per group." Courtney said. "Now I know some of you might not like who you're being paired up with, but trust me, it's for the best." She told them.
"Just get on with it!" Eva snarled.
"As I was saying," Courtney continued, clearing her throat, "Geoff, Harold, Eva, and Rodney, you guys will work on making some Chimichangas since you like them so much." Courtney rolled her eyes, referring to Rodney who gave a sheepish grin.
"Scarlett, Max, Sky, and Scott, you will work on some Tortillas with egg and Potatoes in them." Courtney told them, looking down at her list of meals.
"That leaves Dawn, Katie, Bridgette, and Dakota working on some Chocolate Mousse with a side of Escargot." Courtney said. "I know it sounds gross but it's edible, and apparently fancy." She shrugged.
"Mmm, chocolate." Katie grinned, licking her lips. "Sadie and I used to eat chocolate together for hours when one of us was going through a break-up." She smiled sadly.
"Forgive me my friends, but I cannot allow myself to prepare animals to be eaten, no matter how small. I shall prefer to work on the Mousse." Dawn said.
"That's fine!" Katie shrugged. "You and Dakota can work on the Mousse and Sadie and I will work on the Es-Escar-Escar-got?" She asked, not quite sure how to pronounce it.
"Um...sorry I'm kind of a Vegetarian too..." Bridgette reminded the sweet girl, "And my name is Bridgette."
"Oh yeah...sorry!" She apologized, smacking her forehead. "I keep getting confused! I must be seeing things, man is this kitchen hot already?" She asked with a nervous chuckle, tugging on the neck of her top.
"No problem." Bridgette gave a meek smile. "I'll just work on the Mousse with Dawn and you and Dakota can work on the Escargot."
(Outhouse Confessional- But the oven's not even on...)
Bridgette- "Yeah, I think something's definitely wrong. I'm not medical expert, but I think Katie's been with Sadie for so long, that if she gets separated for too long, she starts to hallucinate. Maybe it's kind of like what Sierra went through with Cameron back during the All-Star season. I watched that season, I do not want to go through that!" She gulped, hugging herself in fear.
Katie- "Okay, okay, I miss Sadie." She sighed. "Bridgette's really nice for putting up with all of this. Sadie if you watching, I miss you!" She cried, getting teary-eyed.
Katie rummaged around the pile of foods. "Hmm...where is it?" She wondered, digging through some fruit, and throwing it aside. Finally, she came upon a large wooden crate. There was a big red label on the side. "Es-car-got." She read aloud, mispronouncing it. "Huh, this must be it." She shrugged.
The BFFFL picked up the large crate and hauled it over to the counter near some cabinets as well as an old wooden door that lead outside behind the kitchen where the food truck had been. Katie opened up the crate and held up the top, only to find hundreds of slimy green snails resting on the underside. Katie screamed and quickly kicked open the door, slamming the top of the crate against a metal railing, knocking all of the snails off. "Get off of here you stupid snails!" She shouted. [3]
"Um...Katie." Bridgette said, walking over to the BFFFL. "Those snails were the Escargot. That's what it is. Escargot is snails." She told her.
"Oh...wait, ew! That's so gross!" Katie winced. "Um...oops. I kinda dumped all of the snails out." She admitted, jabbing a thumb behind her where several of the snails were slowly inching away.
"Um...maybe we can swap the escargot out for some other French dessert." Bridgette suggested. "Hey Courtney, we kind of lost the snails..." She told the Head-Chef.
Courtney walked over looking quite annoyed. "What?! How? They're stupid snails! They couldn't have gone far!" She rolled her eyes.
"Um...well they're not here. They weren't working out anyway. Maybe we could try another desert?" Bridgette tried, wincing at what Courtney's reaction might be.
The CIT sighed. "Fine. We'll do a Souffle." She instructed. "And don't mess this one up!" she snapped, and with that, she walked off.
"Thanks for covering for me." Katie smiled, blushing slightly from embarrassment.
"No problem. You and Dakota have fun with it." She smiled, walking off to go help Dawn who had all of their ingredients laid out in front of her on the counter.
"So what's a soofle?" Dakota asked, once again mispronouncing the dish. She flipped through a cook book looking very confused.
"Isn't it some kind of ball?" Katie asked. "Wait, I'm thinking of wiffle." She recalled, tapping her chin in thought. Bridgette watched from afar with Dawn and just face-palmed with a sigh of defeat.
Team 1
"Alright, if we're gonna make some Sweet and Sour Pork, we're gonna have to figure out how it's made." Jasmine told Noah, Owen, and Duncan.
"Gee, what tipped you off?" Noah asked sarcastically, raising an eyebrow.
Jasmine narrowed her eyes at him for a moment and then pulled out a cook book. "Here are some directions," She tossed the book to Owen and Noah, "You two read it, Duncan and I will find the ingredients she said."
Owen flipped through the pages until he came to one with a picture of Sweet and Sour Pork on it. "Let's see...um, 廁所在哪，我有不好的氣問題. 另外，我跑過去的雞." Owen read, looking very confused. "Hey, this is all in funny-talk!" He exclaimed with realization. [4]
"That's Chinese you dolt." Noah muttered. "Give me that!" He ripped the book from Owen's hand and looked at it. "Here, there's an English version of the recipe." He said, flipping to the next page. "We need a large saucepan, some apple-cider vinegar, ketchup, and some soy sauce to start off." Noah read.
Jasmine and Duncan began rummaging through the pile of assorted foods and cooking supplies, randomly tossing junk behind them. "Here we go!" Jasmine spoke up, grabbing a saucepan from the stack. "That should do the trick!" She set the pot on the stove as Duncan walked up and put some bottles on the adjacent burner that wasn't being used.
"Alright, now get one cup water, three-fourths cup of sugar, and a fourth of a teaspoon of salt." Noah continued.
"Can I get the sugar?" Owen asked, licking his lips.
"Judging by the look on your face and the fact that you're licking your lips, I'm gonna say no." Noah said, turning back around as Owen pouted.
"But I'm really hungry!" He complained.
"Look, after the game is over, I'll buy you all the Chinese Food you can eat." Noah promised him.
Owen suddenly sprang up in delight. "You'd do that for me?" He exclaimed. "Your such a good little buddy!" He smiled, grabbing Noah into one of his infamous bear-hugs.
Noah shoved him away before he could really get into it. "I'm glad you feel that way," Noah smiled, "Now get in the freezer." He snapped.
"What?!" Owen cried. "But why!"
"We can't risk you eating any of the food again." Noah said.
"I won't, I promise!" Owen whined.
"Alright then." Noah shrugged. "But I'm sure you'd want some Chinese food!" He said, getting Owen's attention. "I put a big plate of take-out in the freezer, just go and get it!"
Owen's face lit up like a Christmas tree as he began panting eagerly like a giddy puppy. He bounded through the kitchen and ran right into the freezer that was being held open by Leshawna. When Owen went through, Leshawna slammed the door shut and tilted the bar to lock it.
"Hey! There's no Chinese food in here!" Owen whined. "I've been bamboozled!"
"Don't worry, we'll let your out when the food is done and ready for serving." Leshawna told him, grinning with a snicker.
A flash cut to Samey and Cody at one of the counters, the latter mixing some chicken together while Samey looked through several sauce-bottles, looking for the right one. On the other side of the counter, Amy and Izzy were cutting some vegetables.
"So, what other plays have you been Tech for?" Samey asked, not looking off from the many bottles of various sauces in front of her.
"We did East-Side Story, The Tiny Siren, and The Orchestra Woman." Cody recalled.
"Wow! Those are some of my favorites! I especially like The Tiny Siren." Samey smiled. "It was my favorite movie as a little girl!"
"So it must still be your favorite, because you're still a little girl!" Amy taunted from down the counter.
Izzy grabbed a wooden spoon and conked Amy on the head. "Ow! Hey, what was that for?" Amy snapped, glaring at the red-head.
"Cody and Samey pairing must prevail, so shush!" She hissed at the mean twin. Amy narrowed her eyes at Izzy but continued to chop some cabbage angrily, slicing a bit more forcefully than needed.
"Well anyway, it was really cool because-" Cody stopped when he noticed that Samey was looking dreamily into his eyes. "Uh...Sammy, you might wanna look at how much sauce you're putting in the bowl!" He exclaimed, quickly grabbing the bottle of Oyster Sauce from Samey's hand so it didn't spill all of its contents into the mixing bowl.
"Oh my gosh! I'm so sorry!" Samey yelped, taking the bottle from Cody and putting the cap on it. "What are we gonna do? There's a bunch of sauce in there! You can barely see the chicken!" She cried.
Cody thought for a moment. "Try spooning some of it out, we'll just have to go with the rest. I'm sure it's not that big a deal." Cody shrugged with a smile. Samey blushed and quickly ran to one of the drawers and pulled out a spoon.
(Outhouse Confessional- Sweet and Sour Samey!)
Samey- "I hope it wasn't too obvious with me and Cody..." She worried. "Although Amy saw us, maybe she knows!" She cried, biting her nails. "I've gotta keep it on the low for a bit, otherwise people might start finding out! Dawn and Jasmine are the only ones here that are supposed to know." She bit her lip. "Well, them and the entire viewing audience." She gulped, blushing heavily now.
Team 2
Katie slowly mixed together some chocolate batter in a bowl while Dakota painted a baking dish with butter and some sugar to her left. Katie stared into the bowl of chocolate lovingly and smiled, tears in her eyes.
"SADIE! You loved chocolate and cakes, and I know this is a souffle and not a cake, but it's kind of like a cake!" She sobbed. "I wish I was with you!"
"Chill out, Sadie's like, a mile away on that Cruise Ship thingy out on the lake." Dakota reminded her. "She's probably thinking about you! I'm sure you'll see her again soon."
"You mean I'm gonna get eliminated?" Katie cried.
"No! That's not what I meant!" Dakota quickly took back.
"But you will be." Amy butted in from across the kitchen as she stirred some vegetables together.
Katie burst into tears and ran crying out of the kitchen. Bridgette gasped and watched the BFFFL run out of the Mess Hall and then turned to Amy. "What is wrong with you?" She snapped. "Your sister is so nice! Why can't you be kind?"
"Because kindness is stupid. It's a total form of weakness!" Amy rolled her eyes. "I'm done talking to you Malibu Barbie."
Bridgette glared at the mean twin and got back to helping Dawn with the Chocolate Mousse while Dakota ran out of the Mess Hall and after Katie.
"Do not fret Bridgette, Katie will be okay. She just misses Sadie and everything is starting to remind her of Sadie, including your kindness towards her." Dawn told her.
"Yeah, I figured that. It's just Amy that's bothering me. I can't wrap my head around why she's so mean to her sister!" She shook her head sadly.
"Amy's aura is very dark. It is filled with red and black with a small tinge of pink locked deep down inside. That pink does not have much time left." Dawn explained. "In the words of Buddha, Be kind to unkind people. They need it the most."
Bridgette tapped her chin in thought. "That's a...cool quote. Maybe kindness is what Amy needs." She thought.
"No it's not!" Amy shouted again. "I can hear everything you're saying and I don't believe one word about that aura crap." She spat.
"Attention Cooks! Your meals must be complete and ready to serve in twenty minutes!" Chris warned them through a megaphone as he walked into the kitchen. "So you might wanna cut the chatter and pick up the platter." He added, putting down the megaphone.
"Psst!" Harold whispered to Trent, opening up the oven and sliding in a metal tray with Chimichangas on it. "I've got an idea on how you can win back Gwen, or at least start." He said, closing the oven.
"How so?" Trent asked, keeping quiet as he chopped some onions. Gwen was a few feet away from him working on the chicken.
"The first thing to do to get a girl to like you is to give her a gift, but don't be too obvious. Make it look like an accident." He suggested.
Trent thought this over. "Hmm...but what to get her? I can't exactly buy her anything." He reminded him skeptically. "Besides, even if I did have a bag of chips or something, Gwen's not into that kind of stuff." He sighed.
"Then what is she into?" Harold asked. "I'm only an expert on my fair Leshawna, Courtney, and Heather." He said. "Don't tell them I said that!" He quickly added nervously, giving Trent a sheepish grin.
Trent ignored this slightly creepy detail and thought for a moment. "She's a Goth so she likes dark things...drawing, man, I don't know. I don't have an art kit or anything, that's her thing, my thing is music." He frowned.
"Everyone likes movies, what kind of movies does she like?" Harold asked.
"Well, she's into alien movies...hey, wait a second!" He grinned. The musician quickly felt his shirt and then moved down to his pockets until there was a quiet metallic clink. "Gwen's Blender Necklace!" He exclaimed, pulling it out of his pocket. "I can't believe I still have it!"
"Dude...have you been wearing the same pants since TDA?" Harold asked, slightly off-put.
"Of course not!" Trent snapped. "These must have just been the same pants I wore when she gave me her necklace. I guess I kind of forgot about it in my pants after she dumped me." He hung his head.
Harold shrugged. "Looks like a lucky break!"
"You got that right!" Trent chuckled, bringing his head back up. "Considering we're not dating anymore, she might want it back." He said.
"Good story! You can give it to her and say that!" Harold grinned. "Nice idea!"
"Uh...it wasn't really a-"
"HAROLD!" Courtney snapped, storming over to the two boys. "What do you think you're doing talking to the enemy?! Get back to work or we might lose! And if we do, guess who might be going home for treason?" She hissed.
Harold gulped. "Sorry dude, gotta go! Her majesty Courtney requests so." He whispered.
"I heard that!" Courtney shouted as she walked away, maintenance clipboard in hand.
Harold jumped a bit. "Good luck!" He added and scrambled back to work before Courtney snapped at him again.
Trent closed his eyes and took a deep breath. "Man, why is this so hard now?" He asked himself.
"Why's what so hard?" Gwen asked, suddenly coming up behind the musician, startling him. "Oops, didn't mean to startle you!" She snickered, putting a hand to her mouth.
"Oh...uh, I was just saying that cutting these onions is so hard!" He lied, hiding the necklace behind his back. "They always make me cry! I used to be so good at chopping onions when I was little, but look at these, they're totally uneven slices." He sighed.
Gwen shook her head with a playful roll of the eyes. "Mr. Sensitive." She teased. "Want me to cut them for you if you can't do it?"
"Uh...no I can handle it." Trent assured her. "I do want you to have this though." He held out the Blender Necklace. "Since we're uh...not dating anymore, I thought you'd want it back." He said. "Here."
Gwen stared at the necklace, the memories returning back to her. "Whoa...I can't believe you still have it!" Gwen exclaimed, taking the necklace from Trent's hand. "And to have it here and right now...man, that's coincidental!"
Trent chuckled nervously. "Yeah, I just remembered it." He admitted. "Hope you like it. Well, I guess you 'cause it is yours." He rubbed the back of his head sheepishly.
(Outhouse Confessional- One small step for Trent, one giant step for Gwent-kind)
Trent- "Wow, I don't know what happened! I think after losing Gwen, I just felt like I lost my mojo. I thought I was gonna explode into a giant ocean of sweat! Good thing I've got Harold to help me through this." He breathed a sigh of relief, wiping the copious amounts of sweat off of his forehead.
Gwen- "Wow, I can't believe Trent gave me my Blender Necklace back! I'd completely forgotten about it! I guess he really does care..." She bit her lip, her mind torn between her thoughts.
Courtney walked through her team's side of the kitchen, surveying the progress on the foods. She looked at Harold who was looking into the oven that was almost done cooking. Courtney opened up the door and took a whiff. "Wow, I'm not usually into unsophisticated foods such as Chimichangas, but those smell good! Just add some seasonings and maybe some spices when they're done and you can make 'em taste great!" She suggested, closing the oven door and moving on.
The CIT came to Scott and looked at his progress. "Hmm...they look okay but could use some work." Courtney said much to Scott's dismay.
"How dare you speak down on our food!" Max snapped. "Maybe you should try it just to be sure! Who knows, we might have poisoned it!" He shouted angrily.
"Cut it out Max." Scarlett hissed at the purple-haired evil scientist. "He, uh...means well." She said. Courtney raised an eyebrow and moved on.
"How's the souffle going, girls?" She asked, coming around to Katie and Dakota who were now back in the kitchen and putting the finishing touches on their souffle.
"Well, Katie had a bit of a break-down, but she's all better and ready to finish the souffle!" Dakota smiled. "That is how you pronounce it, right?" She asked for clarification.
Courtney observed the desert, tapping a pencil to her chin in thought. "Looks okay to me. We might have a winning desert right here!" She grinned.
"I knew you'd like it!" Katie smiled. "Sadie and I always loved to bake. We'd bake all day and then eat it all and give the leftovers to our parents!"
"Now, now, no reminiscing. Just focus on the souffle's cream topping." Dakota coached, motioning to the chocolate desert in front of them.
"How is the Chocolate Mousse coming?" Courtney asked Dawn and Bridgette.
"Most excellent! It just needs to be put into a proper glass and it will be ready for serving!" Dawn smiled, holding up a bowl of mousse.
"We might actually be able to win this!" Courtney grinned excitedly. "I'm gonna go out into the Mess Hall and prepare the table." She said quickly, running off to do just that.
"I'll help!" Harold offered. "Rodney, finish putting the spices and stuff on the Chimichangas while I'm gone."
"Will do!" Rodney said, giving an awkward salute, especially considering Brick had just been eliminated.
Team 1
"The Sweet and Sour Pork's almost done, just needs to be prepared." Jasmine said, jabbing a thumb behind her where Noah and Duncan were transferring the dish from the saucepan to the plate. "So how're the Spring rolls going?" She asked Samey.
"Oh, they're doing really good! They might be a bit spicy. I accidentally poured too much sauce into the mixing bowl." She admitted.
"Eh, no worries. Spicy's always better. I'm pretty sure Chris likes it that way anyway, and if not, then it's a treat for us!" She snickered.
"The Spring Rolls are done." Cody called out to Samey as he and Izzy pulled them out of the oven. He took a big whiff and exhaled in a relaxed fashion. "These smell delicious." He spun around and dumped the Spring Rolls onto a plate.
"You've got five more minutes!" Chris warned from in the Mess Hall.
"Crikey! We'd better get setting the table!" Jasmine exclaimed, running off towards the source of Chris's shouting, Samey and Cody right after her.
"That also means it's time to retrieve Owen from the depths of the freezer." Noah said. He walked over to the walk-in freezer and lifted the bar and opened the door to find an interesting scene.
Owen was practically naked other than a cave-man style loin-cloth made out of his ripped up clothes and the miraculously fast-growing beard that had sprouted from his chin. He was gnawing on a large, frozen chunk of ribs looking like he'd just been freed after thousands of years in a glacier.
Owen looked up and saw Noah. "Ugh!" He grunted. "Ooga-booga-booga!"
"C'mon Neanderthal, it's time to go." Noah said, ushering him out. "And what's with you and fake beards?" The bookworm tugged on Owen's beard, but it did not rip off, instead the fat boy let out a pained cry.
"Ow! What was that for?" He cried.
"Let's go." Noah said more forcefully, dragging Owen out by his beard, much to his displeasure.
The footage flashed ahead to the nicely-set table with a tablecloth, two candelabras and a centerpiece where Chris and Chef sat at. There was a space in between them big enough for another person. "Alright, before we begin the judging, let's bring in our mystery guest: The Culinary of Cooking himself, DJ!" Chris introduced as the brickhouse with heart walked onto the scene, waving at his fellow campers.
"He won't be returning to the game of course, right?" Scarlett made clear.
"Correct-a-mundo. He's only here for judging duty and then it's back to the Cruise of Lose for him!" Chris said, confusing several contestants.
"They didn't have to use stuff from the forest like last time, right?" DJ gulped, taking a seat in between the host and co-host.
"Nope, it's all regular ingredients just like season one!" Chris assured him as DJ gave a sigh of relief. "Okay Team 1, you guys can go first. I'll eat your main meal, DJ will have the side, and Chef is on desert-duty." Chris said, going in order of how they sat.
Leshawna came out and put a plate of Gong Bao Chicken out in front of Chris while Jasmine served DJ his Sweet and Sour Pork and Samey set down a plate of Spring Rolls for Chef. "Our theme is Chinese Food in case you hadn't guessed already." Jasmine told him. "And not the authentic Street-Food kind, the good kind."
"Thank goodness for that!" Chris exclaimed. "Yuck!" The host took a fork and stabbed it into his chicken. He took a bite and swallowed, looking satisfied. He continued to eat some more until there was only a bit left. "Tastes delish! I'd give it...an 8." He finally decided.
Leshawna, Dave, Gwen, and Trent all looked pleased with the result. "DJ, you're up." Chris told the brickhouse.
DJ took a forkful of the pork and stuffed it into his mouth, chewing with his mouth closed. "Mmm, tastes pretty good! Could use some mama spice though. I'll give it an 8 as well." He said as Jasmine grinned, Owen looking saddened that he didn't get to taste any of it.
Chef was up last and picked up one of the Spring Rolls with his hand and took a bite out of it. "I have to say, this is one of the best Spring Rolls I've ever head!" He grinned. "I give it a nine!" The cook handed DJ and Chris a Spring Roll as well.
"I agree, very well made!" Chris nodded after taking a bite. "Team 1 takes a final score of 25! Can Team 2 beat them out?" He asked.
Team 1 took their dishes from the table and let Team 2 place theirs. Scarlett placed the Tortillas in front of DJ while Dawn and Dakota brought out the deserts for Chef. "Um...where's my meal?" Chris asked impatiently, tapping the empty space on the table in front of him.
"Rodney! Get out here!" Courtney hollered into the kitchen before ducking back out and smiling sheepishly to the host. "Uh, he'll be out in a second."
Inside the kitchen, Rodney opened up the oven and quickly pulled out the Chimichangas, frantically bringing the tray over to the counter and leaving the oven door open. "Come on! Where is it!" He cried, looking around for the right spice before finally settling on a red bottle with a chilli-pepper on it. He opened the cap and tried to tap a little onto the Chimichangas, but the cap fell open dumped copious amounts of spice onto the plate; Rodney bit his lip in panic and blew some of the big piles of spice off, polluting the air and causing him to cough slightly.
"Here I come!" Rodney hollered with a raspy cough and hack, grabbing the tray and bringing it out. As he left, the camera focused on the stove top, dramatic music playing as an orange glowing button revealed that the oven had not been turned off.
Rodney burst through the saloon-style doors and quickly set the tray out in front of Chris. "Hmm...these do look appetizing if I do say so myself. I hope they were worth the extra time!" He said, starting to cut one with his fork. "While we waited on Rodney, DJ gave the Tortillas a 7 and Chef gave the dessert a full on 10! Team 2 needs 8 points just to tie it up, 9 to win." He said.
Chris stuffed a bit of Chimichanga into his mouth and swallowed. "Hmm...not too bad, but there's an interesting spice too it..." He thought. Courtney was practically burning her eyes into the back of Rodney's skull, prepared to kill him if he used to wrong spice.
The host suddenly felt his stomach clench and gurgle loudly his hands instinctively going to his gut to try and ease the pain as his belly did a somersault and his cheeks puffed up with vomit before he finally let all out in a disgusting spray of puke that oozed and dripped over the table and floor; with trembling hands, Chris tried to hold himself steady while his skin began to bubble and boil, immediately swelling him up like a balloon until he fell flat on his backside with a horribly disfigured face that everyone cringed upon getting a good look while the camera zoomed in for a really good shot at the host's face.
"Whath wath in thagh!?" Chris gurgled through horribly itchy, rashy, and bloating skin.
Rodney bit his lip before he finally felt the guilt overcome him. "I used the red powder with the pepper on it, alright!? Did I do something wrong!?"
"Wrongh?! You useth ghe Cthilli Powder afta I sphegifigally warneth you not to!" Chris shouted angrily while struggling to even stand himself up as he wallowed around in a puddle of his own vomit.
"He's having an allergic reaction!" Chef cried. DJ screamed and jumped into the cook's arms. "Medical!" Chef hollered, dropping DJ onto the floor opposite of Chris. "Medical!"
Two interns dressed in paramedic garb came trotting in with a stretcher and quickly slipped on rubber gloves while grabbing hold of Chris' swelled arms and legs to haul him up onto the stretcher that sagged underneath his weight as they carried him off; Rodney gulped nervously as his team glared viciously at him like a pack of feral hyenas that wanted to tear him limb from limb.
"Uh . . . we'll be right back." Chef cut to commercial awkwardly.
(~Commercial Break ~)
"And we're back! Uh, Chris is still out for medical treatment." Chef explained to the contestants as well as the audience. "Thanks to farm boy over here, he's had an allergic reaction to the Chill Powder." He said. "Which is why Team 2 is being declared the ultimate losers! Now y'all gotta go and vote someone off! You guys are goin' down in flame." He declared.
As if on cue, the fire-alarm suddenly went off beeping, the sprinkler-system engaging, drenching the contestants in the Mess Hall. "Huh. Now that's a coincidence." Cody observed.
"I'm just surprised this Mess Hall actually has a smoke detector." Noah remarked with a sopping wet, deadpanned expression. "As if things around here could get any worse than they already are."
FWOOM!
"And once again, The Great Goddess of Karma smiles down upon us." Noah mumbled sarcastically as the kitchen belched out searing hot flames that evaporated the fire alarm's feeble attempts to kill it upon contact; the entire Mess Hall began to tremble and quake as everyone instinctively dove to the floor with hands over their heads as the kitchen gave a thunderous roar and finally let loose with a fiery explosion that blasted the roof clear off and sent it flying straight into the stratosphere where it may or may not have struck a flying saucer manned by two aliens of the names Zim and Gir, one of which may or may not have been singing the 'Doom Song'.
Chef uncovered his eyes and took a good, long look at the remains of what had once been his beautiful kitchen. "Alright, who left the dang oven on!?" he yelled angrily, snorting like an irritated bull as everyone's gaze turned to glare incredulously at Rodney.
"Team Two has five minutes to vote one sorry sucker home tonight." Chef growled as he went to go gather whatever interns were alive this week and get them to put out the scorching flames.
"Big guess at who's going home tonight." Noah muttered sarcastically as Rodney gulped and attempted to look small.
The footage showed a zoomed-out view of the island, far off to the left, the elimination area was lit up by torches and the bonfire which were visible from afar.
"Let's just get this over with!" Chef muttered. "When I call your name, come up and get a marshmallow." He said. "Geoff, Eva, Katie, Courtney, Bridgette, Scott, Dawn, Sky, Max, and Scarlett." He listed.
Each contestant walked up and plucked a marshmallow from the tray once their name was called. Harold and Rodney were both left without a fluffy treat as one sat alone on the tray, as if it were taunting them.
"Nerd-face! You're on the chopping block for possibly being a traitor to yer own team or whatever," Chef rolled his eyes before turning to scream at Rodney. "And you! Idiot Farm Boy! You're on the chopping block for losin' for yer whole team, giving Chris an allergic reaction, and burnin' down mah kitchen!" he roared.
"So . . . who's going home?" Rodney gulped softly.
Chef clenched his fists as the veins in his neck and face popped. "WHO DO YOU THINK!? GET SORRY YER BUTT OFF MY ISLAND BEFORE I SERVE IT UP FOR TOMORROW'S BRUNCH SPECIAL!" he roared in the Farm Boy's face
"Aw man! I thought I had this one." he sighed.
"NOW SOLDIER, NOW!" Chef roared like a pitbull on steroids, chasing Rodney all the way down the docks and onto an ever ominous red X painted crudely on the docks. "Any last words before I send your sorry keister over the horizon and out of my life and kitchen?"
"Yes. I just wanted to say that...I was the one who got Ezekiel vote off! I switched the votes!" He announced. Bridgette's eyes widened and she gasped. Some others looked shocked, some didn't.
"How could you?!" Bridgette cried. "WHY?!"
"Because-" Before he could finish his answer, Chef pressed the button on Chris's remote control, sending the boot swinging down and nailing Rodney in the chest, sending him flying out into the lake.
"We've got 25 campers left. Who will walk the dock of shame next? Find out on next week's allergic-reaction-free episode of Total...Drama...Unfinished Business!" Chef closed in a very awkward tone.

Reason: Alright, so first off, I decided to spare you the time of the voting confessionals because they were basically all of them just saying Rodney over and over again. From now on, I probably won't do the voting confessionals unless there's a dramatic moment involved.
Anyway, on to Rodney and the rest of this chapter in general. So, I wanted to give Rodney some character and figured he's be so caught up in his own love fantasies that he'd switch the votes on Ezekiel. Then, after the Zombie VR and the whole Bridgette fiasco went down, he was a mess (Or more of a mess than usual). And so, after a few chapters of babbling, it was time to get rid of the crazed farm boy. I don't think he's got too many fans so he probably won't be missed, but if you did like him, sorry, but he's out. At least he went out with poisoning Chris and burning down the Mess Hall, right?
~A/N~ The ending may have seemed a bit rushed and admittedly I was up late trying to get it done, so yes, I was tired. It's also a shorter chapter but that's because I was working on two other works to upload today, so keep an eye out for those as I mentioned them in the Author's Note at the beginning of this chapter.
Also, I have pretty much no experience with cooking, so if there was something wrong with they were doing stuff, I apologize, I literally used online recipes and directions and such.

[1]- A little nod to Christmas Who? From Spongebob where Patchy is opening fan mail and this whole censoring thing happens. I just figured it'd be funny to put in instead of coming up with a middle and last name for Owen :P

[3]- An old Nickelodeon 90's cartoon called Angry Beavers reserves a special place in my heart for whatever reason and one of my all-time favorite episodes was one called Dumb-Waiters. Essentially, the beavers are chefs and one of them does this exact same thing with the snails and then some.

Don't ask me why...just ask why not.
