WELCOME TO CHAPTER 9 OF TOTAL DRAMA MAYHEM. IT'S BEEN A REALLY LONG TIME SINCE I UPDATED. HUGE APOLOGIES FOR THAT. YET I'M GETTING A LOT OF VIEWS. THANKS A LOT FOR THAT.
I WOULD LIKE TO THANK Kitkatkatester FOR THE REVIEW. HUGE THANKS TO lordgemini FOR THE CHAPTERWISE ANALYSIS. IT REALLY MOTIVATES ME.
WITH THAT LET'S DIVE IN!
I DO NOT OWN TOTAL DRAMA OR ANY OF ITS CHARACTERS.
"Last time on Total Drama Mayhem...
We had the second VR challenge of this season. It was a concept on the 'Final Destination'. Campers had to survive in a virtual city where accidents frequently happen. Blood was flowing in the streets, bones were broken and lives were lost. May the VR souls rest in peace. We saw the sensitive side of Izzy when she opened up a bit when asked about Mal. That's something that you see once in a lifetime. Jo gave Chef a fiery good time, or should I say she gave his butt a good time, Haha! That was the best part of the day! The Bulls ended up winning the challenge thanks to Bridgette, Scott, Izzy and Justin and earned a luxury spa treatment. The tigers had the same elimination process that the bulls had last time - the most useless camper gets kicked outta the island. It turned out to be the manly woman jock Jo. We have days of drama coming up. A new challenge awaits the campers. Will they be able to tackle it? All questions answered in today's episode of TOTAL... DRAMA... MAYHEM!"
The camera showed a small pink bird chirping from the branches for it was 9 in the morning. Suddenly a drowsy squirrel came out the hole in the tree beside the bird and slapped it off the branch. The bird fell. But before hitting the ground, it flew up.
Katie returned to her cabin from the bathroom. As she opened the door, the first thing she saw was Dawn and surprisingly Eva sitting with their eyes closed, legs crossed and hands on their knees with the thumb holding their index finger.
"Yoga?" Katie asked.
The moonchild and the athlete opened one eye. Dawn nodded, "Would you like to join us?"
"No thanks. I'm good."
Dawn shrugged and instructed Eva to close her eyes.
"Eva… now take a deep breath and then let it go slowly…. Now repeat after me" she paused, "Om…."
Eva followed whatever Dawn said, "Om…."
"Good. Now repeat the same for two more minutes…"
Eva nodded and did as directed, her eyes still closed.
"Concentrate on every small sound…" Dawn said in a calming tone.
Suddenly they heard a low yawn. Eva quirked her eyebrow, opened her eyes and looked at the source at the top bunk.
Zoey rubbed her eyes, stretched and sat up - only to be welcomed by stares from her cabin mates.
"What's wrong?" she looked at each girl with a confused look.
"Oh nothing. You just ruined my concentration with that yawn of yours idiot" Eva shouted.
"I'm sorry! I didn't mean to" Zoey said, a worried look on her face. Katie and Dawn giggled.
Eva realized that she shouted then looked apologetically at Dawn, "I screwed up huh?"
"Well actually, you have some improvement. The last time someone interrupted, you threw the dumbbell at them right" Dawn said.
"Hey you're right" Eva smiled, "Looks like I am controlling my temper a bit. Thanks Dawn." Eva hugged the moonchild and she returned it.
"Aww… That's so sweet" Katie commented.
Confessional: Eva
"That girl Dawn, she's different. I like that. She's been helping me with my anger. Honestly it's been a few days since we started" she shrugged, "She's a good one. I didn't think anyone would wanna associate with me but apparently she read my aura and told me she wanted to help. So I guess that's great."
End Confessional: Eva
Scott, Owen and Cody were in their cabins while Alejandro and Justin were at the spa, enjoying their reward of the last challenge. Scott was still asleep while Owen was munching on some chips and Cody was in deep thought. On making up his mind he turned to face Owen.
"Hey where's Justin?" he asked.
Owen poured the rest of his chips and answered with his mouth full, "Still at the spa".
Though his reply wasn't clear, Cody understood what he said. "How long will he take?"
The big guy shrugged, "He needs his time so he can keep up that hot body of his" he replied absent mindedly.
Cody raised an eyebrow and cringed. It took awhile for Owen to process what he just said. Upon realizing his eyes went wide open and he faced Cody.
"Did I just say that out loud?"
Cody nodded, "A little."
Owen facepalmed and then chuckled, "Sorry. Why do you need Justin anyway?"
"You do remember we're in an alliance right?"
"Oh right" he snickered, "I kinda forgot"
Cody closed his eyes and let out a deep breath. "Anyway, we gotta plan something to find out what's going on with Dakota"
Owen nodded. "So you gonna use the recorder against her?"
"I'm thinking of" Cody started, "It's small enough to hide it so I guess we can record something whenever she looks suspicious. But how, I have no clue."
Owen thought for a few seconds until something struck, "Hey how about you give it to one of the girls? So if anything happens in the cabin, we'll know"
Cody thought over it before nodding, "True, bringing in one of the girls will be a good idea."
"Yeah, we could ask Sierra to do it," Owen said.
"Maybe" Cody replied, "Hmm, I think I know someone other than Sierra who might be able to help us."
"Who?" Owen asked.
"Let's find her first" Cody said, "Come on"
"But I just finished this bag of chips. I got one more left. Please let me have that" Owen pleaded. Cody rolled his eyes.
Confessional: Cody
"Well, I know Owen isn't the "alliance" type of guy" he airquoted, "Mainly cuz he never needed it being pretty likeable already. So having him in our alliance isn't the best as he doesn't do a lot of planning or work but on the plus side he's a good guy and is believable. And it's one vote less for us as well. So hey I can bear with him"
End Confessional: Cody
"Alright fine. Do what you wanna" The geek smiled as he tossed the recorder onto his top bunk and changed his clothes.
"By the way, who's alliance are you in Owen?" Cody asked once again to check the big guy.
"In your alliance with Justin" Owen replied confidently.
"Not in any another, correct?" Cody questioned.
"No sir!" Owen saluted, "I am part of the Cody alliance and not part of the Scott alliance!" Suddenly Owen realized about his alliance with Scott Oh crap!
"Good" Cody replied and exited the cabin.
Owen looked up at Scott's bunk and saw him sleeping. He sighed, relieved that the farm boy didn't hear him. He sat on his bed and took out another bag of chips from under his pillow.
Suddenly he heard a thud and saw Scott standing in front of him with his arms crossed.
"Can I have an explanation?"
Owen trembled and tried to deviate Scott, "Uhhh I stash food under my pillow, under my bed, in the bathroom, in the confessional, under th-"
"I don't wanna know about your food stash" Scott started, "When did you join another alliance?"
"Alliance? Pfft I don't know what you're talking about" Owen replied stammering in between.
Scott caught the blonde guy by his collar, "Listen up, I know you know very well what I'm talkin about. I heard everything, I was pretending to be asleep. You betrayed me and joined another one with the rest of the guys to vote me off."
Owen looked scared, "Fine yeah I joined their alliance but I swear we weren't going to vote for you."
"You were gonna plan it though" Scott said leaving his collar and taking a handful of chips, "But beware. I'm coming for each and every one of you."
Confessional: Scott
He had a smirk pasted across his face as he ran a hand over his bald head, "I won't lie, having Owen in my alliance was only for the safe vote. No other reason. I know I said he was easy to manipulate but actually he gets manipulated too easily. So anyone could swing him in their direction and use him. I ain't mad at him for joining the other alliance, I mean honestly he's hard to hate. I just wanna mess around with him." he laughed before pausing and thinking about something. "But it gives me a plan" he pointed at the camera and smirked, "I was pretty quiet this season till yet, but it's time to change gears."
End Confessional: Scott
Owen gulped. He wanted to get out of the cabin, "I gotta have a tinkle."
"A tinkle?" Scott laughed then immediately changed into his rough tone, "How about your chips?"
"You can have it! I'm full anyways" Owen exclaimed, desperate for getting out. He ran out leaving the gingerhead behind who laughed.
He looked over at Cody's bunk and saw that he forgot to keep the recorder away. Scott climbed up to the geek's top bunk and pocketed the small recorder.
Tyler, DJ, Harold and Ezekiel were throwing a football around outside the cabin while Noah watched on sitting on the nearby bench with bunny on his lap.
"Yo Noah c'mon man let's get some throws done" DJ encouraged.
He shook his head, "I said it before, I say it again, sports is not my forte."
Confessional: Noah
"You might think that competing in two seasons of this show and in that ridiculous race, I might make an effort to be better at sports" he paused, "Well, no. I couldn't be bothered. I'm pretty lucky Emma doesn't try to make me get into it too."
End Confessional: Noah
"You could try, you know" Harold said, catching the ball, "Even Zeke's giving it a shot" he said as he threw it to the prairie boy.
Ezekiel started, "Yeah eh. Try-" but before he could finish, he got hit on the head, completely missing the catch.
"Now that's one of the reasons I don't wanna try it" Noah said.
DJ and Harold knelt down to check on Ezekiel, who almost immediately got up with full energy, "My first time getting hit by a football! YES!" he pumped his fists.
Harold and DJ were confused at first but smiled later.
"First time playing football?" DJ asked.
"Yeah, I've watched it but never played eh. So this felt great, kinda hurts, but it's great!" the homeschooler replied enthusiastically.
Harold patted him on the back, "Love that spirit."
"See Noah, he got hit and he's still fine" Tyler said trying to change the Indian-Canadian's mind.
"Whatever, still don't wanna play" he replied and petted bunny.
Tyler rolled his eyes as the rest of the guys continued throwing the ball around and talked about random things.
"Wow DJ you didn't even drop one catch" Harold commented, impressed.
DJ smiled, "I shouldn't be dropping them actually. I was a linebacker in our football team back in high school. So I had to be really good at it brother."
Tyler got excited, "WHOA! You were on your school football team too? EPIC!" He jumped and gave a high five to the brickhouse, "I was a quarterback. No one could beat me" he announced proudly.
Harold quickly cut in, "Oh really?" he asked mockingly, "Did you forget about the game against the Rapids and the one versus the Giants?"
Tyler tried to divert him, "I don't know what you're talking about" he crossed his arms and looked away.
"Alright. Guys listen, so the Eagles, that is Tyler's team, were playing the Rapids. We had a lead, a few seconds on the clock. So he got the ball and ran past everyone, crossed the line and scored a touchdown. No one came to tackle him-"
Tyler cut in, "No one could touch me" he said proudly trying to get Harold to stop.
But it didn't work as Harold continued, "He ran to his own team's endzone instead! His teammates didn't tackle him. He stood in front of the goal line and turned around. One of the opponents tackled him and claimed the touchdown and we lost."
"Dude what?!" DJ looked surprised at the jock. Even Ezekiel and Noah were shocked. Bunny also looked at Tyler and shook its head. Tyler looked down at the ground.
"Wait how do you know all this?" Noah asked curiously.
"We were in high school together" Harold clarified. That gave rise to some surprised faces from DJ, Noah and Ezekiel.
"But you guys didn't show a lotta recognition in the last two seasons" DJ stated.
"True at that time, I didn't know him and he didn't know me, so yeah" Harold replied.
The jock was angry. It was clear from his face and it was clear towards whom. "Did you have to say all that?!" he shouted pushing Harold.
Harold countered, "Dude, If you had played properly then I didn't have to tell them that" he justified, "I'm not gonna tell them about the Giants game."
"Shut up nerd! It's not like you know how to play" Tyler argued.
"I may not be the strongest but at least I know where my team's endzone is unlike you" Harold countered.
"Alright that's enough you two!" DJ announced, coming in between and separating them, "We don't want physical fights or fights in general."
Confessional: Tyler
He was fuming. He crossed his arms, "Harold! That idiot! How dare he?!" points at the camera, "You're gonna pay Harold. You've been mocking me a lot this time. I agree, whatever he said is true and all but he didn't see the whole picture. What actually happened was when I was playing quarterback, I almost scored a touchdown, then suddenly….."
*fast forward 5 minutes*
"….I went on a great run, then their defence line came…..."
*fast forward 5 more minutes*
"…. Tyson shoved me but I got up and passed it to Callum and he passed back and then I ran forward…."
*Confessional goes on and on for more than 15 minutes with anecdotes of fails, legs getting jacked up, banana peels, supernatural beings and a story of how he somehow met Jesus*
End Confessional: Tyler
They calmed down after DJ's interference.
"I'm going to the cabin" Tyler stormed off and shut the cabin door behind him.
Suddenly the host's voice blurted out of the loudspeaker.
"CAMPERS! REV UP YOUR ENGINES CUZ IT'S RACING TIME! MEET ME BESIDE THE SPA IN 10 MINUTES!"
"Tyler come on! It's time for our challenge brother" DJ called from outside the door.
Beside the Spa:
All of the Growling Tigers and 3 Raging Bulls assembled. In front of Chris and Chef.
Trent looked around, "Um where's everyone else?"
"Well some of them are still in the spa" Chris replied.
"Yeah, Justin and Alejandro didn't come back to the cabin after they went in there" Cody said pointing at the spa.
"They slept in there?" Ezekiel asked.
"Yeah"
"Wow"
"I don't get the hype around this thing" Scott said, "If we got that VR room instead of this load of crap, we would've had fun at least."
"You've never been in a spa have you?" Katie asked.
"Nope, and I don't plan to go in there at any time" the farm boy replied.
"Have you ever taken a shower at least?" Katie asked, pinching her nose. "I can get your smell here."
Scott rolled his eyes, "Of course I took a shower. Well before coming on the island I did." he smirked.
"What the hell?!" everyone except Owen exclaimed.
"Yes be proud of that Scott" Chris said and rolled his eyes.
Suddenly the spa door opened and the female Bulls exited from one side and Alejandro and Justin exited from the other side.
"Finally. About time you all finished" Eva said.
"You're just jealous you didn't get this amazing place" Heather said.
Eva smirked, "I couldn't care less."
"That was the most relaxing day I've ever had" Courtney commented.
"That was wonderful." Bridgette said.
Alejandro and Justin walked up to their cabinmates.
"Mi amigos you really missed the most relaxing time you will ever have here"
"I don't care, amigo." Scott said. Alejandro shrugged.
"Bulls, change quickly and meet me here in five minutes" Chris announced.
"Five minutes?" Gwen exclaimed.
"Four minutes now" Chris said.
"Alright fine don't reduce it" Gwen said as the team went back to their cabins.
In a few minutes, all the campers assembled beside the spa in front of the host. He and Chef also changed his outfit. Chris was now wearing a red and white racing suit, holding a helmet of the same color scheme while Chef was wearing a black and white striped shirt, holding a chequered flag.
"Someone's a pro racer" Duncan commented sarcastically.
"You saw my movie?" Chris asked excitedly, "I wrecked everyone in that."
"Since you were starring, I don't think it even released" Duncan said, smirking. The campers laughed. Chris narrowed his eyes.
"Who said it didn't release? It was a hit! Chris was amazing in that movie" Sierra said.
"Why thank you Sierra. At least someone appreciates my acting" Chris said.
Sierra looked confused, "Wait, you were there in the movie?" she asked.
"I WAS THE LEAD ROLE!" Chris exclaimed, "Who were you talking about then?"
"I was talking about Chris Hewsworth in 'Rush'" Sierra replied. All the campers bursted out laughing, Chef as well. The host glared at him.
"I'm sorry Chris" Sierra apologized trying to contain her laughter.
The host sounded his airhorn "THAT'S ENOUGH!" he shouted, "Let's move onto the challenge for today. Follow me."
Kart Wawanakwa:
The host led them to a Go-Kart track, having multiple turns and hairpins. They marvelled at the sight. It looked near-professional.
"Welcome to 'Kart Wawanakwa'!" he announced, "One of the new additions on the island for this season. This is a one kilometre track, with hairpins and tough turns. We have some great Karts lined up. What do you think?"
"It's magnificent, it's beautiful, it's awesome, I need more words" Cody said, mesmerized by the whole setup.
"This is world class honestly" Trent commented, everyone nodded.
"Thank you. Alright, onto the challenge. Today there are two challenges, the first one is here at Kart Wawanakwa" Chris continued, "It's a simple one. 6 campers from each team will race 3 laps on this track. Whichever team has most points at the end of the race, wins an advantage in the second challenge today."
"Points?" Zoey asked.
"Yes points. According to which position the driver finishes, they will be assigned points" Chris explained, "Look at the screen behind you to see how it will be allotted."
The campers turned around to see a big screen displaying the point criteria.
POINTS CRITERIA:
1ST PLACE:- 10 POINTS
2ND PLACE:- 7 POINTS
3RD PLACE:- 4 POINTS
4TH PLACE AND BELOW: 1 POINT
"That should make any question about the points to be cleared" the host said.
"What if we don't complete the race?" Owen asked.
"Duh no points" Heather said.
"Oh right" Owen said in realization, "Thanks. Stupid!" he slapped himself.
"I thought that was clear enough but we move," Chris continued, "Alright, in a few minutes we'll know the campers who will be racing from each team today. Look at the screen!"
Instead of showing the teams, the screen went static for a few seconds before a video started playing on the screen. It showed a masked person with dirty blonde hair in the confessionals. The person was holding a white tray. They raised the tray showing its bottom. It had the words, 'I Will Get You CM' in dripping red paint.
"HEY! YOU PUNK! THAT'S MA FAVORITE TRAY! OH YOU'RE GONNA PAY FOR THAT" Chef shouted.
"Yeah Chef go punch him for ruining it" Chris encouraged.
"Punch him?" Chef asked, raising an eyebrow, "I meant actually pay. THAT WILL BE 25 DOLLARS PUNK!" he shouted and the person gave a thumbs up.
"SERIOUSLY?!" Chris shouted at Chef, who shrugged.
"He put his blood on ma tray, he gotta pay." Chef said.
Just then the masked person showed the tray again. Now it was written, 'It isn't blood. It's paint'
"Oh" Chef started, "But you still gotta give me 25 dollars."
The person shrugged and nodded.
"You're really doing this huh" Chris shook his head, "Kyle! Get the team maker back! Zack and Glenn! You two take down this son of a b-"
"McLean No!" Chef warned.
The host cleared his throat, "Thank you Chef."
The masked person disappeared and the team maker was back on the screen.
"What just happened?" Justin asked on behalf of everyone. The campers were surprised seeing all the drama.
"That was so cool" Duncan commented.
"Totally! It felt like one of those movies where the villain sabotages the system" Izzy said excitedly, "Then suddenly a bomb will explode and the whole place goes BOOM!" she cackled jumping on Noah.
"Someone put her on a leash" Noah said, "Get off me Crazy!"
"Well they will be explained later, now we continue with the challenge" Chris said, "Kyle! Roll the teams!" the intern gave a thumbs up. Chris nodded, "Campers, screen, now!"
In a few seconds the screen displayed the Team name and logo and the racers were named under it:
BULLS:
Cody
Justin
Izzy
Alejandro
Gwen
Heather
TIGERS:
Trent
Katie
Ezekiel
Dawn
Tyler
Duncan
"There are the racers! Time to rev your engines" Chris said, "But first, you need to put on these racer suits" the host pulled out two suits, one orange-black and the other purple-black. "The tigers will wear orange and the bulls will wear purple. So suit up! There are some changing rooms beside the supply shed next to the stands. The race will begin in 15 minutes!"
The racers were all suited up and they stood in front of Chris once again.
"So racers, are you ready to change gears and give the audience some adrenaline pumping racing entertainment?" Chris announced.
"YES!" the racers exclaimed excitedly.
"That's what I wanted to hear" the host replied, "Your Karts await on the starting grid. Your kart will be the one which has the same number as your racing suit."
The racers walked to the starting grid where there were 4 rows of 3 karts numbered from 1-12. Six orange and purple karts.
Heather got into her kart which was number 1, "First as always." she said to herself.
As the drivers got into their karts, The signal above them showed red. It counted down and in a few seconds the light turned green and Chef waved the green flag indicating to go.
The racers went in a flash as Alejandro took the lead after the first turn close behind him was Duncan, Tyler, Izzy, Cody and Heather. Katie, Trent, Gwen and Justin were slower.
But Ezekiel and Dawn didn't even move from their grid. Both of them didn't start their engines as both were confused how to.
Confessional: Ezekiel
"I'm driving this for the first time eh. I've never driven a car before, so I don't know how this works eh. The closest thing I've rode on is probably my bull, back at the farm"
End Confessional: Ezekiel
"Why won't this start?" he panicked.
"Stay calm, we'll find a way," Dawn said.
"How come you haven't started?" he asked.
"Even I'm not sure how to. I haven't driven a Go Kart" Dawn replied.
"What are you two doing? Get going, you're way behind already" Chef said.
"Chef, how do we start this?" the prairie boy asked.
"Find it out yourself, touque boy. If I help you, Chris will make me do some random punishment cuz I helped a contestant" Chef replied and walked away from the track.
"He has a point."
Dawn nodded, "Indeed" she kept on searching, "I don't see any key or keyhole."
The other campers were watching the race from the stands.
"Oh no, they're not being able to start" Zoey said.
"Yeah I guess they don't know how to start it" DJ said, "Why is no one helping them?"
Scott who was sitting in the row below them turned towards them, "Nah, the engine probably started, midget can't reach the accelerator" Scott laughed mockingly at his own joke while the Tigers cringed.
Eva sitting next to DJ pulled him by the collar, lifting him up to her row, "You make fun of Dawn once more, I'll punch you so hard, you won't recognize yourself in the mirror. Heard that dirtbag." she put him down with a thud.
Scott gulped and sat back on his seat. Then he went a seat farther away from Eva.
"Lemme go try and help them" DJ said as he walked down the stands towards the starting grid.
"Hey guys what's the matter" he asked.
Dawn smiled seeing DJ, "We both don't know how to start this."
"Alright let me see" he said and asked for permission to check, "May I?"
"Of course" she smiled.
He checked around the little dashboard area, then beside the steering wheel and the far sides. He looked at the side of the accelerator and brake pedals but there was no other pedal apart from those two. Finally he checked under the steering wheel. There he found a very tiny flick switch. He flicked it on and all of a sudden the engine revved up.
"That is the worst place to keep a switch" DJ said smiling, "And it's the tiniest of switches. Anyway go ahead, you're lagging."
"Thank you so much DJ!" she hugged him and he returned it.
"Now Come on! Let's finish this race!" DJ encouraged and she was off.
"Zeke brother, there's a really small switch under the steering wheel. Flick and it will get on" DJ informed.
He did as directed and got his engine running.
"Thanks eh."
"No problem. Now GO!"
Katie maneuvered around the last tough turn and was somehow now in the lead as she entered into the second lap. Alejandro and Duncan were side by side, a second behind Katie.
As she took the next left turn, an explosion was heard and her kart was thrown off the track as a result of it. The crowd fell silent.
"What the hell?!" Alejandro and Duncan, who was behind her, exclaimed in chorus.
Confessional: Chris
"I might have put some mild explosives to make it interesting. Hehe"
End Confessional: Chris
"And Katie's gone!" Chris announced from the commentary box, "Don't worry everyone she's fine. Those are mild explosives. They only have enough power to throw the kart off track, nothing else. By the way there are more explosives around the track. They work like mines. So be agile."
Chris' phone rang. It was Kyle. He picked up, "Kyle did you fuel up the ATV?"
"I was going to but the gasoline in the supply shed is empty."
"How's that possible? It had enough to run for an hour. Where did that go?"
"No clue" the intern replied.
"I have a container stowed in the kitchen," Chef said.
"Alright, that will do. Kyle go to the kitchen you'll find it" Chris replied.
"Yeah ok" Kyle said and hung up.
"Wonder who took that," Chris said. Chef shrugged.
Confessional Katie
She was still in her racing suit which had some black marks on it. She was stoned by the sudden explosion, "That was so scary" her eye twitched, "Me and Sadie used to go Karting and I learned a lot. I had hope of coming first this time. Damn you Chris"
End Confessional: Katie
Duncan and Alejandro briefly looked at each other as they turned the hairpin. There was an explosive right down the middle at the end of the turn but both of them were able to get past it easily.
"We both know at the end I'll be taking 10 points, so why waste your energy bromigo," Alejandro said.
Duncan smirked under his helmet, "I need very less energy to beat you. So I'll still have a lot left in me."
The Spaniard smirked, "I like the confidence. But you don't have the skill."
"We'll see about that" Duncan said confidently, as they turned a tough right. Duncan was able to take the outside route forcing the Spaniard to the side of the track which allowed him to pass by. The ex-prisoner took a container from under his seat and as he pulled forward, poured the brown liquid from the side of his kart. It was oil.
Alejandro noticed but was too late to react as his kart slipped out of his control and hit the side wall, busting its engine. He got out but slipped and fell on the oil. He was now covered in the brown liquid.
Confessional: Alejandro
Wiping off oil off his face with a towel, "That was a cunning move. But I gotta say I'm impressed. Well played Duncan. Well played."
End Confessional: Alejandro
Confessional: Noah
"And that is why I called him 'an eel dipped in grease swimming in motor oil'"
End Confessional: Noah
"That's where the oil went" Chris said to Chef, "But hey I'll allow it. It's chaos. I love it!"
Duncan cackled after his successful move. He maneuvered two more turns and now entered the straight part of the track. But suddenly he was hit by a flurry of paintballs from either side of the track by Zack, Glenn and some other interns.
"Hey! OW STOP THA- OW"
The next shot hit him on the helmet. That made him lose control at the hairpin and instead of going around the explosive kept in the middle, he went straight onto it.
"Oh crap..." he cursed to himself.
BOOM!
That explosion ended the ex-prisoner's race as he and his kart were thrown off track.
Confessional: Chris
He was smiling, "He blows up my cottage, I blow up his kart."
End Confessional: Chris
Tyler passed by into first place and behind him was Izzy. She saw Duncan's kart getting thrown off and she felt the need to do the same.
She saw an explosive in the middle of the next turn. Excitement peaked inside her. She increased her speed, A determined smirk was pasted across her face as she cackled.
"She's gonna purposely blow herself up isn't she" Noah, who was on the stands, told Owen as he watched on.
BOOM!
"And she does" he facepalmed while Owen looked on in awe.
Izzy's kart flipped twice due to the speed she had earlier and was flown off the track. One of the wheels came off and smoke started coming out of the little engine. Everyone looked on to see how she was.
But all of a sudden, she jumped out the damaged kart, took off her helmet and shouted, "Explosivo KABOOM! That felt sooo good!"
Chris looked at Chef in the commentary box, "That's an interesting wreck by Izzy! I don't know why she did that, but it was great!"
Back at the stands, Dakota looked around to see if anyone was watching her. When she confirmed herself, she stood up and sneaked outside without anyone looking. But unfortunately Scott noticed her. He raised an eyebrow.
"I'll be back, I got to use the bathroom" Scott told Courtney who was sitting beside him. He went in the same direction the blonde went earlier.
Heather and Trent were vying for 3rd place behind Tyler and Cody. The jock had a comfortable lead as almost all the racers were now in the final lap.
As they went on to turn 3, tyres were thrown at the racers by Chef and the interns.
Tyler almost got hit by one. He somehow managed to drift away from the incoming tyre. Cody also was able to speed past the incoming black rubber tyres as he maintained his second position.
Trent and Heather turned at the same time, side by side. The Queen Bee saw a tyre thrown her way by Glenn. She immediately slammed the brakes, making her stop abruptly. Trent passed her at that very moment but failed to see the tyre coming at him. It smashed into his kart and it had enough force to damage it. The kart was smashed at the front.
"Phew that would've been me if I hadn't seen that" Heather said.
Trent rolled his eyes, "You were lucky. Your kart was blocking my side view."
"Anyways now because of me, one more of you Tigers are gone" she laughed and hit the gas.
Gwen also fell prey to the barrage of tyres as it hit her and the kart smashed into Trent's. The musician looked over at Gwen as they took off their helmets.
"Looks like if we go down, then we go down together." Trent said smiling.
Gwen smiled on hearing that, "Always." she winked.
Justin passed by them easily as Chef told the interns to not throw and reasoned that if it hits him he'll lose his charm. Justin gave him a thumbs up as he raced away.
Next came Ezekiel's kart and almost immediately he was hit by three tyres, completely breaking his kart and throwing him on the track.
"That was wild eh!" he exclaimed as Trent helped him up.
"How does the kart break so easily?" Gwen asked.
Chef shrugged, "It isn't the best quality. You've been here for three to four seasons, you're bound to know most things here aren't the best."
The three racers nodded as Ezekiel spoke up, "He spitting facts eh"
Chris was standing next to the finish line with Kyle who was holding a chequered flag. The host had the announcement mic with him as he commented on the race.
"We will be knowing who will take first place in any second now."
Just then Tyler turned the final corner and quickly crossed the finish line as Kyle waved the flag.
"And Tyler takes first place bagging the 10 points for the Tigers!" Chris announced. The Tigers in the stands were going wild.
The jock jumped out of his kart, removed his helmet and jumped up and down pumping his fists in excitement, "EXTREME RACING! FIRST PLACE BABY!"
"Cody will take second place for the Bulls! Great racing"
"CODYY!" Sierra shouted and the Bulls applauded.
"Who will bag 3rd place?" suddenly Heather turned the last corner "Looks like it's gonna be Heather! And yes it is! She takes 3rd place."
Behind her finished Justin and a minute later Dawn finished in 5th place.
"All the remaining racers have finished" Chris started, "What an amazing race filled with exhilarating driving and drama. I love it! The standings are displayed on the big screen right now. Tyler finished first followed by Cody and Heather in second and third place. Justin bags fourth while Dawn gets fifth place."
"Just tell us what our advantage is for the next challenge" Tyler shouted, "I won for the team! Hell yeah!" he exclaimed happily.
"Not so fast Tyler" Chris said, "It doesn't matter if you finished first. Remember, total points is what matters. That is what will determine the winner. Since Tyler won, the Tigers get 10 points. Cody and Heather took 2nd and 3rd and so they'll get 7 and 4 points respectively. Justin and Dawn were able to finish the race hence both will get a point each" he paused, "So on tallying the scores, Tigers get 11 points whereas the Bulls… you get 12 points! They win the first challenge and the advantage for the next one!"
The members of the Bulls celebrated while the tigers groaned. Tyler's face showed utter disappointment.
"Even when you win we lose" Harold shook his head. Tyler glared at him.
"Hey what are you blaming him for?" Eva questioned sternly, "He was the best racer, he scored maximum points."
"Yeah I did what I can and won" Tyler argued but Harold didn't reply back.
"Anyway, the 12 campers who haven't raced will be participating in the next challenge. Follow me to the iconic 1000 foot high cliff!" the host gestured to the campers to follow.
"Hey where's Scott?" Courtney asked, scanning the area.
Bridgette shrugged, "And Dakota," she said, looking around suspiciously.
Cody walked up to the surfer, "Hey Bridgette, can we talk for a minute?"
"Yeah sure."
"I have a plan, if we can we gotta do it during the challenge." Cody said.
Atop the 1000 foot high cliff:
The 12 campers for the challenge lined up atop the cliff in front of Chris, who was floating around on his jetpack, wearing their swimsuits.
"Welcome once again to the cliff. The highest point in Wawanakwa," the host started, "This is gonna be a mix to 2 throwback challenges, with some minor tweaks. A maximum of 3 people may dive while the rest will be standing on the beach next to your team's corresponding podium," the camera showed two white circular podiums on the beach with a team flag on each, then cuts back to Chris, "The divers, whom you may choose, must jump off this cliff and retrieve a key which is underneath. On getting it, toss it to your teammate on the beach and they will try to open a crate kept half a mile away from the podium. You'll see the podium some metres in front of the peanut gallery where the rest of the campers are seated. There are two crates, one for each team. On opening them, you'll find wooden heads of the contestants of Total Drama Pahkitew Island."
"Pahak-what?" Noah asked, confused.
"What's that?" Mike asked.
"Total Drama Pahkitew Island; The season after All Stars? The one with a new cast?" Chris kept giving clues but most of them weren't showing any signs of recognition, "You all seriously don't know about it?"
"I couldn't bother. Waste of time" Noah said nonchalantly.
"I didn't even know it existed," Courtney said.
"I know it!" Sierra said, raising her hand.
"Yeah me too, I watched it fully." Harold said.
"That was the only thing on TV back at the farm" Scott said, "I gotta say, it's fun watching it when it's not yourself who's getting hurt."
"You all have offended me by not even acknowledging it" Chris said dramatically, "But anyway, we continue. You have to make a totem with the wooden heads according to the exact elimination order on the podium. From Beardo, all the way up to Shawn."
"Who is this Beardo person? He's got a nice name" Noah snickered.
"Onto the advantage for the Bulls, you get an ATV to help you go back and forth from the podium and the crate" Chris said as the camera showed a red ATV. "Tigers you'll have to use a bicycle."
"A bicycle on the sand? For real man?" DJ debated.
"I mean take it or leave it" Chris shrugged, "Time to pick your divers and beach staff."
The Tigers and Bulls huddled up. After a few minutes, Chris sounded his air horn thus ending the discussion.
"Alright tell me your picks, Tigers" Chris said.
Eva spoke up, "Me, Zoey and Mike will be diving. Harold, Noah and DJ will work on the totem."
"Alright. Bulls who have you lined up"
Courtney stepped up, "Bridgette, me and unfortunately, Owen will be diving. Scott, Dakota and Sierra on the totem."
"Why is Owen diving? He does have a little fear" Chris said.
"Yes but he was willing at least. Someone else was much more afraid than him" Courtney said, looking at Scott.
"Oh c'mon. Who knows what Chris might've hidden underwater. Fang will probably be there" Scott blabbered, fear evident in his eyes.
"They took care of Fang already, remember. I hit him with the dodgeball launcher?" Courtney said, trying to run his memory.
"I don't care, he'll somehow be there just waiting for me" Scott replied, his voice shivering. Courtney groaned.
"Don't worry. Fang isn't there" Chris assured, "So non-divers, you may take position at the beach."
After everyone had taken positions according to their role, Chris continued, "Alright divers. You can use the escalators to come back up. So who's going first?"
Eva volunteered, "Let's do this. Tigers, all together."
"What?" Zoey asked, surprised.
"What if we dive one by one?" Mike asked.
"Well, what if we get the key in the first dive, three of us dive, bigger the chances" Eva elaborated, "So on my count. 3,2,1-" All three tigers dived together as they splashed into the lake.
A few seconds later, Mike and Zoey came back to the surface while Eva took a few more and then resurfaced.
"Anyone?" the athlete asked, both of them shook their heads. Eva nodded as they swam back to the beach and ran to the escalators.
"Bulls, you're up" Chris said.
"Courtney go!" Bridgette instructed, the Type-A did as directed.
"Owen your turn" the surfer said.
Owen shivered, "I know I stepped up willingly, but I don't know if I can do this."
"I know you're a little scared but you can do this" Bridgette encouraged.
"I don't know, maybe someone else should do it" Owen said, looking down from the edge.
"You know what, let's dive together" Bridgette suggested, "It'll be fine. Okay?" Owen nodded slowly
"Good" she smiled.
Suddenly Courtney shouted from the lake. "CHRIS! You said there are no sharks in the lake. I dodged him barely."
"I said there's no Fang," the host justified, "Sharks are there. You're doing this challenge for the third time Courtney, you know what to expect. So deal with it."
Courtney groaned and swam to the beach.
"Ready Owen?" Bridgette asked. He nodded nervously, "Lets GOOO!"
They dived hand in hand together as they landed on a shark. Due to Owen's excess weight they went directly to the bottom. Bridgette was able to snatch a key. She pulled Owen and they swam up, still hand in hand. They swam to the beach and Bridgette tossed the key to Dakota.
"Give it to me," Scott said.
"And why should I give it to you?" Dakota questioned.
"I'm gonna ride the ATV." Scott replied.
"I'm gonna come with you," the blonde said.
Scott smirked, "Yeah sure, hop on in the back."
They revved up the ATV and were off to the crates.
In a few minutes, Dakota pointed out two crates from a distance. Scott went faster and stopped in front of the crate with their team flag on it. Dakota got off quickly while Scott stayed put on the ATV. She looked at the lock and instead of using the key Bridgette fished out, she sneakily took a key from her pocket without Scott noticing and unlocked the crate.
Confessional: Dakota
With her legs crossed and smirking, "Thank you Zack" she winked.
End Confessional: Dakota
The crate contained a lot of wooden heads of the TDPI cast. There were more than 2 heads of each camper in it.
Suddenly from behind her she heard her own voice talking to someone.
"...Nobody saw you right. What does the key do?"
"You need to open a crate. That's its key. All you have to do is opt not to dive" a male voice said.
"Alright then. All I got to make sure is no one sees me use it" *pause* "Okay. Thanks a lot Zack."
Dakota turned around quickly to see Scott, with an evil smirk pasted across his face, holding the recorder he had pocketed from the cabin earlier.
"Your entire convo with Zack" Scott started, "Safe in this recorder. I wonder what Chris will do if he finds out you're in an alliance with an intern. Kick you out of the game or make you the intern again or maybe something worse."
Her face showed fear. Scared of what the gingerhead might do, "How d-did you find out?"
"I saw you leaving the Go-Kart race much earlier, so I followed you and then this happened" he gestured at the recorder. She gulped, there was no escape now.
Confessional: Scott
Still smirking, "I could eliminate her straight away with I can use this. If I do tell Chris, only Dakota will be eliminated. When we lose next time, we vote someone else out and I'll still have this recording of her to get her kicked off whenever I want."
End Confessional: Scott
"I have second thoughts though" Scott started, "I won't give this to Chris. But on one condition. We form an alliance and you will do what I say. I won't vote for you, you won't vote for me. Deal?" he held out his hand.
Dakota nodded nervously, "Okay. Deal" she shook hands with him.
"Good." he smirked as he jumped off the ATV. "C'mon then, we'll take two heads each."
"How do we know what to take?"
"We're only gonna start the totem so just take 4 different heads" Scott said.
They picked two heads each. Dakota took Beardo's and Shawn's heads. Then she looked at the heads Scott took, "Those are the same heads."
"They're different. Amy and Samey, they're twins" Scott said. Dakota nodded in understanding.
They got onto the ATV and started their return trip.
The next round of diving continued as the Tigers dived all together once again, but just like their first attempt, none of them got the keys.
The divers of the Bulls plunged into the lake once more but didn't get any key.
As they reached back onshore, Scott and Dakota arrived on the ATV.
"That was the right key," Scott informed, getting off the ATV.
Courtney, Bridgette and Owen cheered.
Harold, DJ and Noah watched on.
"I hope they get it quickly" DJ said, looking at the top of the cliff.
Scott and Dakota kept the heads on the sands according to Sierra's instruction.
"Beardo's head on the left most side, Shawn's head on the right side." Sierra instructed, "Amy and Samey. Ooo remember to take two Amy heads. Not two Samey heads" she warned.
"Can the divers help too?" Dakota asked the host who was on his jetpack.
Chris thought about it, "I'll allow it. But you can choose only one diver. To take the wooden heads, they can't help you in building the totem." he elaborated. Dakota nodded in understanding.
"We pick Court-" the blonde started but was broken off by Owen.
"I'll do it!" Owen volunteered.
"But-"
"I wanna do something productive for the team for once and this is my chance" Owen said.
Dakota sighed, "Fine. C'mon."
Owen cheered, pumping his fists.
"Alright get on big guy" Scott said, jumping onto the ATV. Owen got onto the side seat.
"Remember, We need one more Amy. The one with the beauty mark" Sierra reminded.
When she said that, a plan formed in the gingerhead's mind.
Cody got off from the peanut gallery and walked to Bridgette.
"You can check it from the cabins now right?" he asked.
"Yeah I can. She's busy with the challenge. Now's the chance" Bridgette said.
"Be careful" Cody warned. Bridgette nodded and walked from the beach to the cabin area.
By this time the divers of the Tigers dropped into the lake together. Eva came up to the surface but with no key. Mike also had no luck. Zoey didn't resurface along with them. A few seconds later, she came back to the surface, gasping for air.
"Found one" she announced.
"Swim, Swim, Swim!" Eva pushed.
Once they reached the shore, the redhead tossed the key to DJ, "DJ catch!"
DJ caught it and before he left for the crates, he turned back, "Guys don't dive. I'll come back quickly and tell you. Then go okay."
"But we'll lose time" Eva debated.
"Don't worry I'll come in a flash" DJ assured. Eva reluctantly agreed.
He looked at the bicycle he was provided. He narrowed his eyes and shook his head.
"I ain't gonna ride this. The sand is pretty loose" he said and took off running leaving the two-wheeler behind. He was very quick indeed. The brickhouse ran, taking huge steps forward. Eva watched him run and was impressed.
Confessional: Eva
She had her arms crossed, "I always thought our team didn't have high athletic prowess apart from me, Jo and maybe Tyler but DJ surprised me. His sprint speed isn't that high for an athlete but with that build he is impressive."
End Confessional: Eva
He completed the half mile distance in 6-8 minutes. He checked his watch in which he had started the stopwatch and smiled.
"2:58. Damn! New record!" he exclaimed happily to himself.
He wiped the sweat off his forehead and took the key from his pocket and inserted the key into the lock. Luckily it clicked open.
"Hell yeah!" he exclaimed.
He opened the crate and picked up three heads, one of Leonard, Sky and Dave.
Beside him was Scott and Owen, going through their crate.
"Sup DJ!" Owen waved.
"Wassup brother. Later" he did a two finger salute and started running back to the podium.
Scott smacked Owen behind the neck. "Focus!"
"OW! That hurt"
"I know. That was the intention" Scott replied as they continued searching through the crate.
"Is this Amy?" Owen asked, holding the wooden head up. Scott looked at it and nodded.
"Take two more heads and we'll go," Scott said.
They picked up the heads of Amy, Leonard, Jasmine and Scarlett.
"Get on the ATV" Scott ordered. Owen saluted.
Without Owen noticing, Scott sneakily took a Samey head, tucked it under his shirt and smirked.
DJ reached back to the podium and gave the two heads to Harold.
"It's the right key guys" he said, panting in between.
"Sky, Dave and Leonard" Harold said, "Leonard was eliminated second, Sky was second and Dave was 7th. Put it in that order."
"Noah you do that and I'll go take the rest" DJ instructed, Noah nodded.
"Eva can you help in fetching the heads?" the brickhouse asked.
"Hey, anything to see how fast you are" Eva smirked. DJ smiled.
"Alright c'mon!" The brickhouse and the athlete ran to their crates.
At the same time Scott and Owen arrived with the ATV.
"I'll make the totem you guys arrange the heads in order"
Owen and Scott did as directed as Sierra supervised. As they arranged Dakota kept on making the totem from bottom to top.
Owen kept the Amy head beside Leonard's and arranged the Jasmine and Scarlett heads.
They passed the heads on from Owen to Scott to Sierra and on to Dakota who kept them on top of each other.
When Owen passed Amy's head to Scott, he quickly swapped it for the Samey head he had tucked under his shirt without any of them noticing and passed that to Sierra.
Luckily for the dirt farmer Sierra didn't notice the difference and gave it to Dakota and placed it above Leonard's wooden head. Scott smirked letting out a breath he was holding.
The next few minutes were tiring for the campers as they ran to and from their crates and kept on working hard on their totems. Dakota, Sierra and Scott stood on their shoulders with Owen at the base to reach higher. The Tigers as well followed the same procedure with DJ at the bottom followed by Eva, Harold and Noah.
The competition was fierce and down to the wire as the Bulls only had to place Shawn's head to win.
"The Bulls are closing in on victory" the host announced, still flying on his jetpack, "Tigers have two more heads to fix. They better change gears."
Owen somehow passed the last head upwards to the dirt farmer who in turn struggled to pass it on. They slowed down in the process as the Tigers started to catch up. DJ passed on the last head directly to Harold somehow who gave it to Noah after a few seconds of imbalance.
In the meantime Dakota also got Shawn's head and now it was a competition for keeping the last head in place.
Noah tried to place it but they wobbled.
"Hey! Hold still!" he shouted.
"It's Harold! DJ and I are solid down here" Eva shouted back in reply.
"Of course it's him! He's trying to make us lose!" Tyler shouted out of the blue.
"Oh shut up Tyler! GOSH!"
The Bulls weren't any better, Dakota argued about Scott's shivering making her lose control.
"Yeah fine! We'll see who'll be shivering when we lose today!" Scott shouted.
"What?" Sierra asked.
"Nothing!" Dakota quickly intervened. Scott smirked.
After a few more seconds of wobbling, Dakota somehow placed the head on top of Sky's a second before Noah could and both the team's campers toppled onto the sands of the beach. They all groaned in pain.
"And the Bulls take the win for the second time in a row!" Chris announced as the Bulls cheered, "Tigers time to gather around the campfire."
"Harold made us lose on purpose!" Tyler complained.
"No I didn't! That was a genuine loss of balance" Harold justified.
"Explain that in the elimination ceremony" Tyler argued.
Harold crossed his arms and looked away. He suddenly noticed something off about the Bulls' totem.
"Hey," Harold pointed at the Bulls' totem, "Chris, their totem is in the wrong order!"
"What are you talking about?" Sierra questioned.
"Chris, take a look" Harold walked to the totem and pointed to the head above Leonard, "Amy was eliminated after Leonard, not Samey. Their order is wrong!"
Chris examined it, "Well I'll be. He's right. Bulls, you guys screwed up. I might have to rename you the Blind Bulls now" he laughed, "The Tigers win! Bulls one of you is saying bye bye today."
"WHAT THE HELL?!" Sierra shouted, "I told you specifically about Amy and Samey!"
"They did bring the right ones" Dakota said.
"Yeah. Even I confirmed it with Scott" Owen said.
"Yeah he's right, he took Amy's head from the crate" Scott said. He paused before continuing "Unless you switched it without me looking" he said with a tone of fake suspicion.
"What? No! I didn't" Owen defended.
"Give us proof" Scott challenged.
"Uh I don't have any proof" Owen said.
"You won't cuz you did it" Scott said.
"Well then we'll see about that in the elimination ceremony. Bulls c'mon time to sit around the campfire" Chris announced.
Campfire Pit:
"Welcome back to the elimination ceremony again Bulls. You lost a challenge which you had won cuz some of you were blind. You could've avoided it," Chris said, holding the tray of marshmallows, "Anyway, it's time to vote one of you off. You may cast your votes now."
The campers voted one by one and sat back on their respective tree stumps.
"Alright. As you know, the one who doesn't receive a marshmallow, will walk the dock of shame, board the boat of losers and will leave the island to never come back. Ever."
Owen looked scared, Dakota also showed fear, the others were rather chill.
"So the first three marshmallows of today go to Cody, Heather and Justin," Chris announced and tossed a marshmallow each to the three campers.
"The next marshmallow goes to…

Dakota. Owen, big guy, it's time to leave." Chris said.
Owen was dejected. His shoulders slumped. He stood up and looked at everyone.
"I'm gonna miss you guys" he said and hugged Scott, "Thanks for being a good friend and helping me in the challenge."
"Yeah sure man" Scott said, his tone did have a tint of guilt in it.
The rest of his teammates also came in to hug the big guy.
Chef was ready with his bags at the dock of shame. He tossed his luggage into the boat.
"Bye Chef! Gonna miss your food" Owen hugged him.
Confessional: Chef
"He'll miss ma food?" an emotional Chef exclaimed, wiping a tear rolling down, "That's the nicest thing a camper's said to me" he tried to hold back the tears but failed and started crying.
End Confessional: Chef
Chef hugged him back, "You're welcome to meet me anytime, fatboy."
Owen jumped on the boat and waved goodbye. "Guys I don't know why but I feel someone's trying to lose on purpose. I don't know who it is but-" the boat started up and disappeared into the darkness.
"Well that was a rather emotional elimination ceremony. Now everyone, get back to your cabins. You survive to compete in another challenge" Chris said.
"You could've let him finish" Courtney said.
"Meh" Chris shrugged, "He was taking too much time. Head back to your cabins everyone."
Tigers Male Cabin:
DJ, Noah and Ezekiel were playing with bunny. Trent was experimenting on different chords on his guitar. Mike was lying down. Tyler and Harold were arguing.
"Why are you blaming me on everything?" Harold argued.
"You've been making fun of me so much this season" Tyler debated.
"So you gotta blame me one everything for that?" Harold questioned.
"I was just telling the truth, you were trying to make us lose," Tyler said.
"I was not trying to lose on purpose" Harold justified.
"You complain about me blaming you, you legit blamed me after I won first place in the race" Tyler pointed out.
"I wasn't tryin-"
"Oh shut up you two!" Noah exclaimed.
"Yeah man, just stop it" Trent said.
"You guys need a break" DJ added.
They turned away from each other and lied down on their beds.
Duncan was walking back to the cabin from the bathroom. As he climbed up the cabin steps, a voice called from behind.
"Hey punk!"
Duncan turned back to see Eva standing arms crossed just in front of the steps.
"What do you want?" Duncan asked.
"I need some help catching someone. I would've used Jo's help but with her gone I need someone else's."
"And why me?" he asked, slightly confused at the offer.
"You're the only one who's a little tough and has some kind of physical capability" she elaborated.
Duncan smirked, "Agreed. Who's this 'someone'?"
Eva briefed him about her and Jo's encounters with the mysterious person during the midnight hours.
"Alright. I'm in. But what do I get?" Duncan asked, trying to cut a deal.
Eva shrugged with her arms crossed, "One less vote good for you?"
Duncan thought about the offer, then shrugged, "Meh, I'll take it."
"Alright. Meet here 2am sharp" Eva instructed, shaking hands with the ex-prisoner.
With that she left for her cabin without saying another word.
Duncan watched her go, then turned back and just when he was going to open the door, another voice called. He looked behind to see the source. It was Gwen.
"Gwen?"
"You have a minute?" she asked.
"Yeah. What's the matter?" he asked, awkwardly scratching the back of his head.
"Can we talk?" she asked. Duncan nodded and they walked behind the cabin.
Outside the Bulls' cabin:
Cody was waiting outside the cabin for someone. Out came Bridgette from the female side which ended his wait.
"Did you search her E-pad?" Cody asked curiously.
When Bridgette's part of the challenge was over she had gone back to the cabin to search Dakota's E-pad with some kind of unlocking method the geek instructed her to use to unlock the device.
"I did and somehow it unlocked" Bridgette started but her shoulders slumped, "But there's nothing in it."
"What?!" He exclaimed, "How's that possible?"
"I don't know. I've seen her typing and saving things on it so there has to be something somewhere in it" Bridgette said, "There's only some selfies and some other pictures, nothing useful."
"Oh man" Cody sighed, "Well it has to be saved somewhere else then. We might have to do some more searching."
Bridgette nodded, "Alright, Goodnight. Really sleepy after all that diving."
"Yeah goodnight." Cody said as they went inside their respective cabins.
Confessional: Dakota
"There's a reason why memory cards exist. I removed it yesterday itself." she pointed to the camera, "Thanks for the warning. I owe you big time my friend."
End Confessional: Dakota
Bulls' Male Cabin:
All the guys were resting on their beds. Scott and Justin on the bottom bunks while Alejandro was on the top one.
"With Owen gone, the cabin is a lot less stinkier" he took a deep breath, then immediately started coughing when he caught a stench.
He started panting, "He's not even here, how's his smell not gone?"
"Probably cuz of that" Justin said pointing to the ceiling. They looked up and saw Owen's underwear still hanging on the ceiling.
"I'm not gonna touch that" Alejandro said.
"How did it reach there?" Justin asked.
"It's Owen, anything can happen" Scott replied.
"True" Justin and Alejandro nodded.
Cody entered the cabin and climbed to his bunk at the top.
"Apart from his stink, there's no other problems with him. Kinda surprised he got the boot" Justin stated, continuing their discussion on Owen.
"He switched the heads and made us lose" Scott debated, "It would've been surprising if he didn't get the boot."
"Did you see him switching the heads?" Alejandro asked in a slightly challenging tone.
Scott looked up from his bed raising an eyebrow, "No, but he was the one one who took the heads."
"Well then you can't confirm he did it" Alejandro smirked.
"What are you tryna say burro" Scott challenged.
"I'm not trying to imply anything amigo," Alejandro smirked.
Confessional: Alejandro
"Owen doesn't have the, let's say intellect, to try and sabotage the team. And Scott himself said that Owen picked the correct head during the challenge. So there really is only one person to look out for here, Scott."
End Confessional: Alejandro
"Alright quit it you two" Cody said.
"Yeah. Just go to sleep" Justin added.
The camera panned across the island, through the woods and towards the lake. Then it cut to Chris standing in the dock of shame lit by the light of the fire torches surrounding it.
"That's the end of another great episode. We saw racing, diving, running, and screaming. But most importantly, a lot of drama, Haha! More of it coming up in the next episode. Will Scott continue his sabotages? What are Cody and Bridgette planning? How will I catch that masked *bleep*? Sorry about that. Stay tuned for the next cracking episode of TOTAL... DRAMA... MAYHEM!"
Voting Confessionals:
Alejandro: I don't think Owen can switch the heads like some say. But I'll vote for him anyway because Dakota said to.
Bridgette: I know something's up with Dakota. Better kick her out before she does anything. So yeah Dakota.
Cody: Dakota. She's hiding something for sure. Getting her out should be key
Justin: I like the big guy but I have to listen to my alliance. So Owen.
Courtney: Owen I guess. I didn't have anyone in particular to vote. Scott told me so yeah.
Owen: I don't know how the heads got switched. It's weird. I'll vote for Dakota. We've been going behind her for some time now.
Heather: Owen. Just listening to the alliance.
Izzy: Izzy don't know who screwed up and she isn't gonna vote for Big O. So random Izzy votes for…. Scott!
Sierra: My teammates were so blind! How could they not see the beauty mark! Wait, how did I not see the beauty mark? OH NO! I hope I don't get voted off. I'll vote for Owen, sorry.
Dakota: I have to get Owen voted off. Scott's threatening to get me out. So Owen.
Gwen: Owen can't even think of sabotaging his enemies, if he has any enemies that is. I'll vote Dakota.
Scott: Owen. The guy isn't a bad one. But anyone can use him easily. So If I can't use him, no one else is gonna use him either.
Votes:
Owen - 7 votes
Dakota - 4 votes
Scott - 1 vote
