The recap begins with a shot of Chris floating down the mountain on his fan propelled parachute, past the campers, then it skipped a bit ahead to Martha exclaiming, then the avalanche. "Germany, here our competitors encountered the glorious alps. As fun to go up as they are to go down." Jeremiah is shown pushing meat into a giant grinder, followed by Alejandro shoveling meat, then team Chris heading down the mountain on their sausage. "They also learned why Germany is world renown for the care they put into their sausages."

Veronica is shown sweeping the feet out from under Madison, then Alejandro is shown slapping Jeroboam off, followed by Amber slapping an off balance Kennedy off her platform. "From this day on however, Germany will only be known for one thing: It's traditional dance."

Amber is shown confronting Alejandro. "And Alejandro learned his charm won't work on everyone." The recap ends in the cockpit. "We have fourteen left, but not for long! On Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!"

Intro

A stage light pops up in front of the CN tower, we switch to the interior of the plane as another light pops out of the ceiling, outside the plane a camera pops out of the engine startling a raccoon, we see a suitcase pop open and a clap board is used. The camera moves through first class passing a drink cart on the way and causing Chris to jump out of the aisle.

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;

(Chef and Noah are in the cockpit, the cook gives the camera glare as it passes through. The camera moves past several bagages trucks.)

You guys are on my mind!(The camera moves past the CN tower and dives into the water.)

Ya asked me what I wanted to be,(Ed is swimming in the water, a smirk on his face..)

And now I think the answer is plain to see!

(Madison stands on a straw roof of a hunt on a woven boat. Ed pops out of the water, scaring her into falling.)

I wanna be...famous!

(Patricia is in the boat rowing while Jeremiah stares at Madison's fall, as crocodiles leap from the water snapping their jaws. The boat moves off screen and we see a crocodile wince on the word be. The camera moves back to the boat revealing it had run into an inflatable raft Leilani is sitting on. She stares calmly as she sinks while they try to pull her in.)

I wanna live close to the sun!

(The camera moves to the statue of liberty, we cut to the top where both Alejandro and Stefans are helping Veronica up.)

Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!

(Martha runs past the two, pushing a baby carriage holding Rhys. Helen is nearby and the clown trips over her, sending Rhys flying out of the carriage and into a sign.)

Everythin' to prove,

(Rhys falls off into Nathan's arms, the floater gives him a seductive smirk, and the brunette rolls his eyes)

Nothin' in my way;

I'll get there one day.

(We pan right where Georgia watches the scene in interest, she is scared to find a polar bear is behind her. After she runs off the polar bear removes its head, revealing a laughing Kennedy. The pranker notices a baby seal which attacks her,)

'Cause I wanna be...famous!

(Kennedy begins to run off with a seal attached to her, we zoom in to see Alister and Corbyn surfing a giant wave. It seems to be too much as they are swept up in the surf.)

Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa

(Amber and Jeroboam are walking across a new york city crosswalk. They are startled as the jet passes them sending leaves through the air. We switch to a scene of the contestants in a human pyramid atop the jet, wearing parachutes and kicking in beat. On the bottom row are Veronica, Alejandro, Stafans, Kennedy, Martha and Alister. On the first row up are Ed, Corbyn, Rhys, Nathan, and Madison. The middle row holds Georgia, Jeroboam, Amber, and Helen. Second from the top holds Jeremiah and Leilani, while Patrica sits up top.)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(The plane passes big ben,causing the clock face to pop out. It passes the arc de Triomphe causing a mime to drop his croissant. It flies past a rock balancing on.a stone pillar, knocking it off and causing it to fall in front of the camera kicking up dust)

I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)

(The dust clears to Jeremiah, Patrica and Leilani all smiling at one another, It pans to show Ed glaring, then down to Alister.)

(The lyric end and we see Chef Hatchet glare while Noah looks at him worriedly. He turns the plane, sending all the contestants falling through the air in parachutes. Everyone but Helen lands in front of a sigh with the show's name on it. As the song ends Helen lands face first in the middle of the group)

Intro end

The episode proper begins in economy class, Team Chris sit on the left bench, while Team Misfit sits on the right. Kennedy and Veronica are seated next to each other. The prankster is reading a book. "Oh that's so cool! I wonder if…" She takes out a notebook and begins writing. Veronica is not amused.

She forces a smile on her face. "Hey Kennedy I was just wondering what you're working on?"

"I can't tell you!" She giggled.

Veronica turned up the charm, "but we're friends aren't we."

"Well yes, but if I tell you they might hear." Kennedy told her.

"Who?" Veronica asked.

"You know…" The prankster looked left and right then whispered. "The gremlin."

"Really?" Veronica sighed.

"Well yeah, remember how Martha found her party horn in the cargo hold! That must be it's hideout!" Kennedy beamed.

"Right…" Veronica rolled her eyes.

(Confessional)

Kennedy: I've been trying to think of ways to capture a gremlin. My physics textbook is full of good ideas, but maybe I should read my chemistry book instead?"

Static

On the other side of the cockpit Patricia is sleeping, a rat falls out of the air vent above hitting her in the face. "Stupid ecconomy!"

"Things could be worse, things could always be worse." Leilani told her.

"Next time we get on this plane we better be back in first class." Alejandro complained.

"Then let us work together as a team! Let us put our differences aside in the name of victory!" Stafans declared

"Well said my friend." Alejandro complimented.

Back with the Misfits Amber is writing in a notebook fervently. "What's with the notebook?" Jeroboam asked.

"I'm trying to plan for as many scenarios as possible. I've been slipping the past couple challenges. I'm not planning to make it three." The assistant told him.

Jeroboam put a hand on her shoulder. "Just don't overwork yourself. That won't help the team either."

Amber sighed. "I'll try, but I have to prove myself. Besides aren't you still mad about Georgia?"

"I still don't believe she was trying to use me, but you've been trying too hard to be doing the same. I think Georgia just needed someone to put the blame on." Jeroboam explained.

"Well, that's progress at least." Amber said with a weak smile.

/

In first class Team Chris is enjoying themselves. Rhys, Corbyn, and Nathan are eating snacks. Rhys shoves a whole mini cupcake in his mouth. Nathan chuckles. "You know considering how serious you are it's nice to see a side of you that's less so."

Rhys swallowed his cupcake and shrugged. "I like sweets."

"I'll say, you ate at least half the strudel last night." Corbyn smirked. Rhys smiled sheepishly. From his place on a nearby couch Ed rolled his eyes. He turned to work on a small watch he was repairing then jumped out of his skin. Madison was glaring at him. Before She could say anything the intercom went off.

"Brace for landing we've arrived at our next destination: The Amazon, but the runway's a little short." Chris announced Rhys buckled himself in nervously. Nathan put and hand over his and gently squeezed it. Rhys gave him a grateful look.

"Ooh you're so cute together!" Madison squealed, ruining the moment. Rhys pulled his hand away. Nathan sighed.

/

The plane crashed down in the Amazon. Later we see Chris talking to the campers as they stand in a tropical rainforest. Noah stands nearby. "Welcome to Peru, birthplace of the mighty Amazon river. This challenge is called the Am-AH-zon race." He chuckled, seeming proud of the name.

"Team must hike along an ancient inca trail, through the Peruvian Jungle, all the way to Machu Picchu." As The host explained this, shots of the forest are shown, with a shot of Machu Picchu at the end. "Hidden somewhere among the ruins of Machu PIcchu a golden treasure awaits discovery."

The shots fade back to Chris. "Find the treasure to win first class passage to our next destination." Each of the teams are shown as Chris finished. "last Team to Machu Picchu, will have to send someone out the elimination door, and be warned the jungle contains many vicious insects. Luckily none of you are allergic which saves me the effort of getting an Epipen." Amber sneezed, then groaned. Chris smirked. "the worst we have is Amber's pollen allergy, but that isn't deadly, Just hilarious. "

"Amber sneezed again. "Glad this is funny to you." She deadpanned.

"Well I am allergic to cocoa seeds..." Jeremiah muttered.

"Are you planning to eat any cocoa seeds?" Chris asked.

"Well no." Jeremiah replied.

"The stop wasting my time." The host told him. He continued on. "Also in the jungle are the Zing Zings." He held up a picture of two people in tribal masks. "A native tribe who have never encountered modern man, and they're not about to. So if you spot a Zing Zing do not make contact. They-'' Chris is interrupted by the pounding of a drum. "Will you stop that?!" He told Chef who was revealed to be the one playing said drum. He crossed his arms.

"So how far is it to Machu Pikachu?" Jeroboam asked.

"Machu Picchu is a hop skip and a jump from here...plus eighteen hours." Everyone groaned. "The jungle is too dangerous to travel at night, so teams will have to break at dusk and camp along the trail til sunrise."

"And I assume there are no tents?" Alejandro asked.

"Correctamundo, Now because the playing area is so vast and dangerous each will have a walkie talkie in case of emergency.' Chris takes out a box of walkie talkies. Noah handed them out along with a spare set of batteries. Amber took them for Misfit, Rhys for Chris, and Kennedy grabbed them before anyone else could. Noah walked back. "I don't remember asking you to hand out spare batteries?" He said with a look.

"You want more lawsuits? They were cheaper than that epipen would have been anyway." The cynic shrugged.

Chris smiled. "Fair enough. Teams I wish you good luck or at least a lack of death."

/

We see team Chris and Team Victory at a crossroads. "Should we go left? The trail is wider." Rhys asked his team.

"Why not? It's not like we know which way is right anyway." Corbyn shrugged, The rest of the team nodded. So they went left.

"They went left so let's go right!" Martha cheered.

"Why? Shouldn't we stay in a larger group?" Stafans asked.

"But what if the other path is faster? We won't know unless we try." Kennedy shrugged. The others weren't sure but they agreed.

/

"Two trails… What do you think team?" Amber asked.

"What if we split up? That way if one of the trails is wrong they can run to the others and warn them?" Jeremiah suggested.

"I'd rather we all stayed together." Amber frowned.

"But if we all go down the wrong trail and we all get captured or whatever then who will save us?" Jeroboam asked.

"Look we don't all have to go down a different trail, I could just go." Jeremiah said.

"I don't think it's a good idea." The assistant said, with that the team headed left but Jeremiah secretly went right.

/

Chris is standing on a platform over a large body of water. Team Chris arrives behind him. "Welcome team Chris. You're in the lead so you get to cross this water hazard using these T-bars. Everyone else will have to take the line hand over hand."

"Awesome!" Corbyn cried.

"But there's only two T-bars." Rhys noted.

"No sweat! I can take you and one other person down with him cutie." Nathan told him.

"Make the other Madison. I don't think she and Edward should be on the same T-bar." The goodie two shoes told him.

"Will do." Nathan had the other two grab onto one of his broad shoulders and took them down. Ed and Corbyn followed after.

/

We see Team Victory walking through the forest. The sound of footsteps runs past them. "Did you hear something?" Stefans asked.

"Probably just an animal." Alejandro said. We move ahead to see Jeremiah has managed to get ahead of Team Victory. He walked forward only to freeze as a member of the Zing-Zings approached. When we next see him he's tied to a tree.

The theater nerd looked the Zing Zing up and down, then frowned. "Your hands are way too smooth to actually be a native tribe. Whoever did your make up sucked." The Zing Zing said nothing. "You know if you let me go I could give you some tips on how to do better make up."

The Zing Zing did not respond. "Won't break character huh? I respect that."

/

Back with Chris and the zipline Team Misfit stares at the missing T-bar. "Where's the T-bar?" Jeroboam asked.

"What T-bar?" Chris smirked.

"The T-bar, you know the thing you hold on to in order to go across the zipline?" Leilani deadpanned.

"Oh that T-bar." He chuckled. "Yeah team Chris already used them, so you'll be taking the line hand over hand."

Everyone groaned. Amber turned to the group. "Okay if the five of us…" Her eyes widened in realization. "Where's Jeremiah?"

"He's been missing." Patricia whispered.

"Since when?!" Amber asked.

"Since the paths split." The photographer admitted.

"And you didn't bring this up because?" The assistant asked.

Patricia blushed. "Distracted taking pictures." She held up her camera to show several pictures of animals and plantlife.

Amber sighed. "Okay so one of us needs to go back and get him."

Jeroboam shook his head. "He said he just wanted to scout out the right path. I say we keep going til nightfall, then you can look for him if he still isn't back."

Amber frowned. "I don't know…"

"You have to put the safety of the team ahead of one member." Leilani agreed.

"Jeremy's smart." Patricia added.

Amber sighed. "Okay, but if he isn't back by dusk I'm searching until I find him."

/

Team Victory is walking through the forest when they see two Zing zings by a fire. Stafans gasps and turned towards his teammates. "Chris said not to disturb them so I think we-" He paused as he saw his teammates stare over his shoulder. He turned and screamed as he saw a Zing Zing right behind him. His friend joined him and they pointed their spears at the group.

"Gentleman, surely we can come to an agreement?" Alejandro asked.

Veronica hit the button on the walkie talkie. "Chris we're in danger!" Nothing happened. "It's dead. Quick Kennedy give me the-" Before she could finish the Zing Zing grabbed her.

/

Back at the zipline Team Misfit is shown in various states crossing the is reaching shore and has clearly taken the line hand over hand. Jeroboam is just behind her. Leilani is still on the platform and shrugged. She wrapped her hands around the zipline and slid down it normally.

"Doesn't that hurt?" Jeroboam asked.

"Not really." Leilani deadpanned.

Particia sighed and took off her cap. She wrapped it around the wire and used it to slide down, but three fourth of the way across the cap set alight. Patricia headed towards the water. She closed her eyes in fear.

Across the way Leilani saw this and dove to catch her. Patricia opened her eyes to see she'd been caught. She blushed, then noticed piranha leaping at them. Leilani ignored them and carried her friend to shore.

Amber smiled. "Nice catch."

/

Back with Team Victory they are all tied to a tree now. Veronica is right next to Kennedy. Martha is on the far left, with both Alejandro and Stafans on the far right. The Zing Zings sit in front of a fire guarding them.

"Kennedy Noah gave you the spare batteries. Which pocket are they in?" Veronica asked.

"My right." The prankster replied. Veronica groaned. She reached into Kennedy's pocket and yelped. She withdrew it to find a mousetrap on her hand.

"I was wondering where I put that!" Kennedy exclaimed.

Veronica rolled her eyes and kept searching. A shock went through her. She frowned and took out a joy buzzer. She took a breath and kept searching the prankster's pockets. "Glow in the dark gum, a pen with invisible ink, hair ties?"

"You can never be too prepared." Kennedy noted.

Finally she pulled out the batteries. She began reaching into her own pocket to get the walkie talkie. Meanwhile Martha had managed to slip from the rope she was tied up in, but the Zing Zings noticed. A flash later and Martha is shown tied to the tree again but this time with her arms, legs, ankles, and wrists also tied.

Another flash and we see that Jeremiah has managed to slip out of his own bonds. Seeing that the Zing Zings are distracted he begins to run ahead in hopes of running into the others.

/

We see a tropical bird. Below we see Team Misfit arriving in a clearing. Patricia takes a picture of said bird. Amber sighed. "Dusk and no sign of Jeremiah. You guys get some sleep, I'll search for him."

"You need help?" Partticia asked.

"No you guys stick together. Jero you're in charge while I'm gone. If I'm not back by sunrise, keeping going. Jeremiah and I will meet you at Machu Picchu." Amber instructed. The girly boy nodded and Amber left.

/

We finally return to Team Chris who have run ahead. They slide to a stop as we see Chris has shown up in front of them. "Dude you got any food!" Corbyn asked.

"Food would be appreciated right now." Rhys nodded.

"Team Chris! You're still in first and this is your reward." Chris announced he cut a rope tied to a tree behind him and a box of bananas fell to the ground. "All the bananas you can eat!"

"Thank goodness I'm starved." Madison said.

The walkie talkie went off. Chris took it out of his pocket. "Chris! We've been captured by the Zing Zings! Help!" Veronica's voice can be heard from the speaker.

"Wow they sound like they're in trouble. I should pick this up." Chris asked nonchalantly.

"Chris I know you're there!" Veronica yelled over the speaker.

Chris smirked at the camera. "After the break."

A/N: And so we've reached the midpoint of the Amazon. Jeremiah is lost in the forest. Team Chris is having no problems, and Team Victory has been captured. Question for next time: How good is your OC at finding things, and as always are they in character?
