Here's the last challenge for the Spring mini-season in China.
The Great Race Of China
"Wow." Colin said as the Autumn Leaves settled down after Janae's withdrawal. "This season has been pretty hectic for you three."
"Tell me about it." Maddie said. "It feels like we're sending someone home every single day."
"That's pretty much what has happened." Vincent said. "We suck." He groaned.
"You don't suck." Colin said. "We just have to work together as a team and we can get the job done. What the Summer Suns have on us is teamwork. But we can bite them right back."
"Bite them..?" Arin asked.
"Not literally." Colin said. "We can turn this unlucky streak right around."
Confession Cam:
(Colin) "It feels so weird wanting to beat my original team, but I'm on the Autumn Leaves now, and I don't want to face another chance of me going home."
(Maddie) "I'm so happy we kept Colin."
(Arin) "Okay... so... Janae left and, uh.. I don't know what to do now..."
Maddie walked up to Vincent.
"Can we talk about what I found?" She asked.
"Can we not?" Vincent asked, looking toward Arin, who was behind Maddie.
"Arin, what are you doing?" Maddie asked.
"I'm, uh, not sure what to do next." Arin said to Maddie. "Can I maybe, uh... Follow you around?"
Maddie sighed and turned toward Vincent. "We will talk about this eventually." She turned and walked away, with Arin close behind.
Confession Cam:
(Vincent) "I'm not sure if I'm ready to open up to Maddie about why I'm here in the first place." He says nervously. "Then again, everyone's here for their own personal reasons. Maybe Maddie has something to tell me too."
(Maddie) "I know there will be time to talk to Vincent. I just hope the challenge is one where we stay together."
(Arin) She smiles. "I'm with Maddie now."
The next morning, just as Chris had promised, the contestants were all on a tour bus on the road.
"WAKE UP!" He exclaimed through a megaphone. "It's time for your last challenge for Spring!"
The contestants all groaned.
"What time is it?" Nolan asked.
"I'm not a morning person." Arin whined.
"Ah sure am!" TJ smiled. "Ah'm so excited fer the next challenge! I hope it's another race! We haven't had one of those in a while!"
"It is another race, actually." Chris winked. "We're racing to the next helicopter... er, plane."
"Joy." Nolan said, uninterested.
"However, this race is different." Chris smirked. "You won't be racing as a team! You'll be racing in... PAIRS!"
"In pairs?" Gloria asked, disgusted.
"Ooh! It's like the Ridonculous Race!" Nick exclaimed.
Chris snapped his head at Nick and gave him the filthiest look. "No it's not and don't you dare mention that horrible show ever again!"
Nick timidly backed off. "Okay... sorry..."
Confession Cam:
(Chris McLean) He's rambling about how horrible that show is.
(Nick) He records himself with his own camera as well. "I think Chris is just a little mad cause he has to compete with Don for ratings." He sips on his imaginary tea.
"Okay." Chris said while separating pairs. He separated Nick and Eli. "This is how it works. It's gonna be a race down the Great Wall of China."
"Awesome!" TJ exclaimed as Chris separated her and Gloria.
Nolan and Kat looked at each other.
Chris looked at the Autumn Leaves. "Girls and boys. Done."
"Cool." Arin smiled at Maddie.
"Okay, so the first team to completely board the plane at the end of the race will win the challenge. The other team will have to face elimination!" Chris said.
"It's easier for them to win." Eli noted.
"You should have thought of that before you decided to win everything." Vincent said to Eli.
Eli just chuckled.
The tour bus finally arrived to the starting point of their race.
"You can go on and go." Chris said, allowing them all to rush out of the bus before telling the driver to drive him to the finishing point. He looked at the camera. "I probably should have warned them about the obstacles that will be in their way." He paused for a bit then ultimately shrugged and laughed.
Maddie led the way and Arin just followed everything she did.
"Okay." Maddie said. "Let's just get this challenge over with as soon as possible."
"Agreed." Arin nodded.
Maddie looked at Arin. "Any suggestions?"
"Uh...I just think we should, uh.. get this over with." Arin said slowly.
"I hope so." Maddie smiled.
Arin smiled back.
Confession Cam:
(Maddie) "It's kind of awkward being with Arin cause I voted her out last time... And she's like, extra lost without Janae."
(Arin) She scratches her head. "I hope summer brings, uh...bikini contests..."
Nick and Eli awkwardly walked together.
"So how can we make this as less awkward as possible?" Eli asked.
"Just don't speak." Nick said. He then sped up his steps a little. "And let's be quick so this can be over with."
Eli nodded. "Right."
Confession Cam:
(Eli) "I need to make things up to Nick fast. I know he has Kat on his side and I'm sure they could sway Nolan at any moment. Heck, Katherine's with the guy right now!" He groans. "I really don't want to have to be in a tiebreaker. I'll surely lose." He says sadly.
(Nick) "I'm just going to ignore Eli for the rest of the challenge. Otherwise I'd snap at him." He calms himself down.
Vincent and Colin walked together and were quickly starting to get to know each other better.
"So yeah." Colin said. "Drawing is one of my better skills. I have a knack for drawing anime. That means that I watch it too of course."
"Nice." Vincent said.
"Yeah, plus I love video games." Colin said. "I'm stronger at thinking than at doing physical activities so... You okay?" He asked Vincent, who seemed to be troubled with something.
"I'm just... Still a little confused about last night." Vincent said. "I can't stop thinking about Janae and Maddie. Why Janae quit and why Maddie reacted the way she did."
"Look," Colin said. "I'm no expert, but I'm pretty sure Janae and Maddie both have crushes on you."
Vincent looked at Colin. "Really?"
"Yeah, man." Colin said. "Janae literally admitted it when she said she can't let a boy, you, get in between her and her dignity."
"She did..." Vincent looked down.
"And Maddie looked at you with confusion when she said that, almost as if she was hurt by it." Colin said. "Did you have a crush on Janae?"
"No." Vincent said. "I mean, we were just friends right."
"Whatever you were, I could tell it hurt Maddie." Colin said. "She acted just like Colleen does when someone plays with her heart."
"That's not good." Vincent said. "I don't like hurting people... Unless it's during a play fight." He giggled.
"It wasn't your intention." Colin pointed out. "You just gotta talk it out with them when this is all over. You could even talk to Maddie while we're here."
Confession Cam:
(Vincent) "Colin is so right. I have to talk things out with Maddie before it's too late and our friendship is ruined... I have to be completely honest with her."
TJ and Gloria just walked without speaking.
Gloria was too busy counting her money.
TJ was thinking of what to say.
Confession Cam:
(TJ) She's frowning. "It's so hard bein' around Gloria right now... She's all in her money and it's purty awkwerd."
Kat uncomfortably walked with Nolan.
"...Hi.." She said.
"Hello." Nolan said.
"Sorry if I seem a bit standoffish." Katherine said. "It's just that... We've never really had a conversation before."
"That's true." Nolan said. "I believe the last time we were even close to interaction was during the last challenge of the winter season."
"That's right." Katherine nodded.
"Pretty ironic, actually." Nolan said. "Cause this is the last challenge of the spring season. And here we are."
"That is ironic." Katherine said. "Well maybe this time we can get to know each other."
Nolan stopped walking and rolled his die. Katherine looked on with him.
"Maybe we shall." Nolan nodded.
Katherine smiled.
Confession Cam:
(Katherine) "With Colin gone and Nick not always being with me, I could use another friend."
Eli and Nick quietly walked and they could both see something in the distance.
"Okay." Eli said. "We're going to have to talk cause I'm pretty sure-"
"Chris has obstacles throughout this challenge?" Nick turned to Eli. "I figured."
"Yeah." Eli said. "And we're going to have to work together cause we're a team... Remember?"
"You, Delanie, Kat and I were a team." Nick said expressionless. "Remember?" He mocked.
Eli frowned. "How many times do I have to apologize for not telling you?"
"An apology isn't going to change the fact that Delanie Rios isn't here." Nick said.
"Is that what this is about?" Eli asked. "Her status? Look, anybody could have been famous and eliminated early. Her status isn't what's going to save her. Maybe in the real world. But not here. Not in a game like this."
Nick didn't even look at Eli. "It's just not fair... Why her? Why Delanie? She was our ally..."
Eli was about to speak, but a loud siren interrupted the pair's conversation.
"Oh my god!" Nick gasped and jumped up. "What is that? What's happening?"
A bunch of guards started approaching them.
"This doesn't look good..." Eli said.
"What should we do?!" Nick asked.
They looked at each other then both screamed. "RUN!"
Cut back to Nolan and Katherine, who are now talking.
"Gambling is very important hobby of mine." Nolan said the Katherine. "I enjoy taking risks and sticking to them no matter what. That's why I have my die here."
"I admire you for that." Katherine said. "I wish I was a risk taker like you are."
"You can be." Nolan said. "It only took me seconds to decide that this was going to be my strategy. You can take a risk at any time."
"I know." Katherine said. "But, for me it's so much more complicated because it just feels like everyone is watching me. I took a risk a while ago by kissing Colin on the cheek, but that's when I thought it was going to be him leaving.. Now he's not here and I feel like it's going to be pretty awkward when we're together again. I may seem like I'm over reacting... But that's how my life is..."
"Colin was my one true ally." Nolan said. "And he does care about you. It won't be awkward unless you make it awkward."
"I care about Colin..." Katherine said. "But I don't think I can.. I can't help but feel like Delanie was right. Everyone I work with would say the same thing she's said."
"Do you care what people think?" Nolan asked.
Katherine sadly looked down. "Look at me.. I'm an actress, a singer, a celebrity... I have to care what people think."
"You don't care what I think." Nolan said.
Katherine sighed. "I don't even know why I'm even opening up to you right now.."
Nolan rolled his die in his hand. "It's okay." He rolled it again. "I will keep everything you tell me between us."
"Is that a promise?" Katherine half-smiled.
"Promise." Nolan nodded.
"I'm honestly so appreciative of that." Katherine said. "I feel like I can't even tell Nick things anymore."
"Not a problem." Nolan said.
Confession Cam:
(Katherine) "I hope that by the end of this experience I learn to not care... I hope that happens so badly."
Arin and Maddie slowly walked.
"You're already tired?" Maddie asked.
Arin nodded. "I, uh... Am not used to this."
"Arin... You've been super quiet lately." Maddie said. "Like super quiet. Everything okay?"
Arin shrugged. "I don't know."
"What do you mean?" Maddie asked.
"I just don't know..." Arin said.
"It's Janae, isn't it?" Maddie looked at her. "You don't know what to do now that she's gone...?"
Arin sadly nodded. "I feel, uh, lost... without her."
"You don't have to feel that way." Maddie said. "You know that, right?"
"She was, uh, like, the person I followed." Arin said. "Now I'm, lost."
"No you aren't." Maddie said. "You're fine. You're still here and she isn't. Do you know what that means?"
"I should quit too?" Arin asked.
"No." Maddie said. "It's now time for you to become your own person. You don't need anyone to take you far." Maddie smiled. "You're Arin, not Janae's follower."
"I'm Arin." Arin smiled and nodded.
"You are!" Maddie smiled. "You don't have to follow anyone, not me or anyone."
Arin nodded. "Look!" She pointed at a cart that was up ahead.
"Nice!" Maddie smiled and brought up her hand. "High five!"
Arin slowly gave her one and then they rushed up to it.
"Great idea Arin! We can drive this to the end!" Maddie smiled. She then turned to Arin. "You can drive it!"
"..Me?" Arin asked.
"I have confidence in you!" Maddie said.
Arin slowly smiled. "Thanks... I have, uh... Confidence!"
They drove off.
Confession Cam:
(Maddie) "Thumbs up." She smiles.
Gloria was still counting her money.
TJ glanced over at her a few times...
"Gloria?"
"Hmm?" Gloria continued to count her money.
"Can I ask ya somethin'?" TJ asked.
"What?" Gloria looked at her.
"How much money have ya made?" TJ asked.
"Not enough." Gloria said annoyed.
"...And how many friends have ya made?" TJ asked.
Gloria thought about it but then got a bit annoyed.
"I hope you know that Ah consider ya a friend..." TJ said. "Ah'll always continue t'be your friend whether you're here fer the money or not."
Gloria frowned and looked down. "Ugh."
"What?" TJ asked.
"You're so annoying..." Gloria said. "But it's not the kind of annoying I hate. You care about me."
"Ah care for all mah friends." TJ smiled. "No matter what."
Gloria crossed her arms. "I care about money."
TJ frowned. "I get it." She stepped forward and there was a click. Gloria's eyes grew wide.
"Look out!" She jumped toward TJ and pushed her just in time as the ground blew up. They both fell safely a few feet away.
"What in the world was that?!" TJ gasped.
"A landmine." Gloria said, wide-eyed. "Why are there landmines on the great wall of China?!"
"It was probably that Chris' doin'..." TJ said. She then looked at Gloria. "Ya saved me."
"Yes, I did." Gloria said. "I'm from Portugal. I know a landmine when I see one."
"Ya stopped countin' money to save me." TJ said.
"You didn't let me finish." Gloria said. "I said I care about money... But I also care about you." Gloria stood up, took a deep breath, and took out a ware from her bag. She tossed it forward and let it get blown up by another mine.
"What are ya' doin' to yer wares?!" TJ gasped.
"Clearing the way." Gloria said. "I... I'm sorry for being a bad friend." She said looking down. "I just never really felt I had a friend here."
"You've got a friend in me." TJ smiled.
Gloria smiled.
"So can I hug it out with my bestest friend?" TJ giggled.
Gloria rolled her eyes, then grinned and hugged TJ.
Confession Cam:
(TJ) "Gloria may seem like someone that just cares 'bout money and money and money, but Ah know deep down she's a good person... The only reason she's doin' what she's doin' is cause that's how her parents raised her." She shrugs.
(Gloria) "TJ's not that bad."
There is the sound of a jail cell closing and Nick and Eli are revealed to be in it.
"This is all your fault." Nick groaned and sunk in the corner. "Oh no! What are my fans going to think?! I've been locked up... I'm in Chinese jail! AHHHH!" He screamed.
"Shhhhh!" Eli shushed him. "There has to be a way out of here."
"Do you speak Chinese?" Nick asked.
"...No." Eli said.
"It's no use." Nick cried. "There's no possible way that we'll get out..."
"We can do this. We just have to work together Nick!" Eli said. "Come on."
"I'd rather be teammates with a snail." Nick laughed.
"This isn't a time to be making jokes." Eli groaned. "I don't want to be in Chinese jail either."
"Help!" Nick ran up to the bars. "Help me!"
"Shush!" Eli said. "We just have to think of a way out..."
"You want me to break out of Chinese jail!?" Nick asked.
Eli nodded.
Nick freaked out even more. "OMG what if the punishment is like, death or something..."
Eli groaned and sunk his face in his hands. He looked around the small cell and noticed a vent on the ceiling. "I got it. Help me up?"
Nick crossed his arms.
Confession Cam:
(Eli) "I can't believe that Nick won't even work with me on a challenge. I get it. I blindsided you. But that was ages ago. And at least it wasn't you..."
(Nick) He is holding up a finger. "For the record, I was only put in Chinese jail because that was part of the challenge. My record is still completely clean!" He awkwardly laughs.
"Tell me more." Nolan said to Katherine as they walked.
"To be honest..." Katherine started. "I love chaos."
"Interesting." Nolan said. "Care to elaborate?"
"I love excitement." Katherine said. "There was this one role I did where I had to bungee jump and I insisted that I do it instead of my stunt double and it felt so awesome." She smiled dreamily. "I love roller coasters too. I just love excitement and thrills! But I can't ever get that the way I'm living."
"You're insecure." Nolan stated.
"My team hates that word." Katherine said. "They push me to be confident, but how perfect can someone be, you know?"
Nolan nodded.
"Like.. I just... I just wanna break the rules!" Katherine said. "I don't like having to live such a black and white life. I need some color."
"Is that why you're here?" Nolan asked.
"Psh, no." Katherine said. "I'm here because my team wanted me to acquire more fans."
"Have you watched Total Drama?" Nolan asked with a raised eyebrow.
"I watched a few episodes here and there before coming on, just to familiarize myself." Katherine said.
"Well, you might not end up with much fans if you keep acting the way you are." Nolan said.
Katherine frowned. "I just don't know what to do." She stopped mid sentence and looked down. Her and Nolan appeared to be shrinking. "Wait a minute... Are we in quicksand?!"
"We are." Nolan grew wide-eyed.
Katherine breathed in and out and then screamed. "HELP!"
Cut to Vincent and Colin.
"Did you hear that?" Vincent asked.
"Hear what?" Colin asked.
"I heard a scream." Vincent said. "It came from over there. Let's go!" He ran towards the direction of the scream.
Confession Cam:
(Vincent) "I have a really good ear." He nods. "It comes in handy a lot more than I expect."
"We're here!" Vincent said as he and Colin stepped in the scene.
"Quicksand? Here?" Colin studied it, confused. "How?"
"That's what I said." Katherine said.
Colin tried to pull Katherine out. He pulled hard and she slowly rose up out of the quicksand.
Vincent went over to Nolan and pulled him out in one move.
"You're strong." Nolan said, looking at Vincent while he wiped himself down. Vincent shrugged.
Colin finally got Katherine out.
"Thanks." Katherine smiled.
"Pleasure." Colin nodded.
Confession Cam:
(Katherine) "This is like the first time I've spoken to Colin in ages."
(Colin) "It almost felt as if Katherine were out of the game but she's not..."
Eli tried really hard to jump up to the vent, but he wasn't going anywhere. "Nick, you have to help me. Please. I can't do this on my own."
Nick smiled deviously. "So now you need me. HA!" He laughed hysterically. "The tables have turned."
"Look." Eli said. "I don't know how many times you want me to say this, but I'm really sorry about taking out your ally. Can you at least give me a chance to explain why I did it?"
"Fine." Nick nodded.
"Do you like Kat?" Eli asked.
Nick nodded.
"Appreciate her?" Eli asked.
Nick nodded again.
"Don't you think the way Delanie was treating the people on our team wasn't right?" Eli asked.
Nick didn't say anything. "Um..."
"She refused to let Colin and Katherine interact." Eli said. "I didn't like that. She isn't anyone's boss here. That was just... Bullying."
Nick reluctantly nodded. "Yeah.."
"And if there's one thing I don't stand for... It's bullying." Eli said. "I find it so... Horrible. I'm really sorry, but that's just how I feel. I hope you can forgive me."
Nick was on the verge of tearing up. "Oh, I've been such a horrible person! Eli, I'm so sorry! I can no longer blame you for what you did."
"You were just hurt." Eli said. "I get it. But I'm glad you get me too. Now, we don't have to be best friends, but let's work together. At least until the merge."
"You're right." Nick smiled and nodded.
Eli smiled. "Great, now help me up."
Nick nodded and helped Eli reach the vent. Eli pulled off the lid and crawled in. He then caught Nick when he jumped up and they both crawled out together.
Confession Cam:
(Eli) "Now I can rest knowing that my move was completely justified to Nick."
(Nick) "Another FTR, me escaping this jail does not allude to any real criminal behavior. This was just a challenge, so once again, my record is completely clean."
Vincent and Colin were walking back together, alone.
"Yep, I can definitely see that you both like each other." Vincent said to Colin.
"Really?" Colin asked.
"It's so clear." Vincent chuckled. "The way you rushed to help her, how she thanked you, just the look you two gave each other."
Colin laughed. "Well it was kind of funny too, the way I struggled to pull her out while you just went and lifted Nolan out."
"Well, I do play hockey." Vincent said.
"I play hockey too!" Colin shot up.
"Really?" Vincent smiled.
"...In video games..." Colin said. There was a pause, then they both laughed.
"Wait." Vincent said. "I hear another noise. A lot of noises, actually."
"I see what you're hearing." Colin said, pointing to a large group of people up ahead.
"It's a tourist area." Vincent said, pointing to a sign. "The plane has to be behind there."
"We're going to lose each other..." Colin said.
"No we aren't." Vincent said and he picked Colin up and ran towards the crowd. "Ahhhh!"
Confession Cam:
(Vincent) "No way am I letting go of Colin until we're on the other side of this barricade."
(Colin) "That was kind of scary..."
Maddie and Arin were still driving.
"We're doing great!" Arin said.
"You're the one doing all the work!" Maddie exclaimed. "Keep it up!"
"I will!" Arin smiled and closed her eyes.
"Arin..." Maddie pointed. "Slow down..."
"Uh... What?" Arin looked over at Maddie, who looked up ahead. "Slow down!" She exclaimed.
Arin looked to see the large tourist area up ahead. She screamed as she didn't know how to slow down. Maddie screamed as well as they bashed into the crowd.
Confession Cam:
(Maddie) "That hurt."
Vincent tried to run as fast as he could through the tourist area.
"I hope we're almost out of here." Vincent said.
"Me too!" Colin said.
"I have a feeling we might be." Vincent said.
Just then, Maddie popped up in front of them, startling Vincent and Colin, who jumped out of Vincent's hands.
"Maddie!" Vincent exclaimed.
"Guys, this is a nightmare!" Maddie exclaimed. "I lost Arin!"
"No..." Colin gasped. "In here?!"
Maddie sadly nodded. "I can't believe it."
"We haven't lost her yet." Vincent said, picking up Colin so that he could see above the crowds. "Find her."
"Oh, please do." Maddie held her hands together and looked up and Colin.
Colin looked all around the area. "I can't see her."
"I'm here!" Said a voice from the distance. It was barely audible because of the tourists. "I'm here!" Arin said again as she rushed towards them.
"Arin!" Maddie exclaimed with relief. "You found us!"
"Uh... I did?" Arin smiled.
"Yes!" Maddie said. "You found us!"
"Yay!" Arin smiled.
"I see the way out!" Colin pointed. "That way! I see the plane!"
"And it looks like the Autumn Leaves win!" Chris said as they stepped out from the crowds and arrived at the plane. "Meaning, someone will finally be voted out of the Summer Suns!" He said this with so much happiness. "And it appears like we don't have much time to wait for them, so we'll be at the elimination ceremony after the break!"
Commercial Break
Static.
A skinny, light skinned girl with chocolate brown eyes appeared on the screen. She had long brown hair tied up in a pony tail with a neon blue bow, was skinny, and wore a black top with 'Crazy is my Left' written on it in neon blue, black skinny jeans, and white sneakers.
"I've said it before and I'll say it again." She said with her fast, yet soft voice. "I'm not crazy! I'm Sandy Vines!" She laughed hysterically then got all serious. "I can't wait to be in Total Drama again! It was totally awesome the first time... Maybe I'll get to wrestle another alligator! Or FINALLY get to show off my super awesome acting skills! It's going to be soooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo sweet! I won't mess things up this time, oh no no no... Just don't give me... SODA!" She does a creepy smile and tilts her head as static overwhelms the screen.
The words "Total Drama Underrated" are shown on the screen.
Static.
Chris, on the plane, waited impatiently for the Summer Suns to cast their votes for their elimination ceremony."Any day now..."
Eli was in the corner, mid-conversation with Nolan.
"So you don't want to work with me, but you aren't voting for me?" Eli asked. "...I'm so confused."
"According to my die, I can't vote against you until after the merge. But this does not mean we are ally's." Nolan said.
"Come on, Suns!" Chris said. "You do know you're voting someone out tonight, right?"
Eli quickly nodded. "Fair enough. If it means anything, I won't vote for you either."
Nolan nodded. "Understood."
"Okay, come out already!" Chris said. "I have to help Chef steer this thing!"
"Steer...?" Katherine looked at her teammates as everyone sat.
"I'd just ignore it." Eli said.
"Let's get this over with." Chris said. "Safety goes to... TJ. Gloria. Nolan."
Eli, Katherine, and Nick all got a bit nervous.
"Remember, this season is all about twists and blindsides." Chris said. "The person going home tonight is Nick."
"Whaaaaat?!" Nick gasped. "How?" He cried out.
"There were enough votes against you." Chris said.
Nick frowned... Then smiled. "But we're already in the air! How am I gonna go home?!" He smiled and crossed his arms. "It was a reward challenge!"
"Nice try." Chris said. He opened the side door. "Out."
Nick gasped.
"Here." Chris tossed him a pretty big parachute. "Out you go!" He gave Nick a kick that sent him screaming out the door.
"Will he be okay?" Katherine asked.
"Hopefully." Chris said while exiting. "I don't need another lawsuit."
"That was pretty easy." Eli smiled as he hi-fived Gloria and TJ. "Thanks guys."
"No problem." Gloria smirked as Eli reluctantly gave her a handful of bills.
Confession Cam:
(Eli) "Now that we have five people left on our team and I know for sure that Nolan isn't going to vote me out... I don't have to buy out Gloria's vote anymore... I can just let her decide whether to cut Kat or Nolan next."
(Gloria) She giggles and then grins. "It's funny how Eli believes he's at the top of our group when me and TJ are tighter than these bills." She winks.
The Summer Suns headed to their cabins but Katherine was stopped by Colin.
"Are you okay?" Colin asked.
"..Why are you asking?" Katherine asked him, taken by surprise.
"I watched the ceremony." Colin said. "You were almost the one out."
"I know." Katherine said.
"I'm worried." Colin said. "About your spot in the game. What if you lose next time? Eli is tight with those other girls. He's coming after you."
Katherine looked into Colin's eyes. "Colin, I appreciate your concerns, but I'll be okay. I got this. I'm not done fighting." She smiled.
Colin let out a deep breath. "Sorry."
"No, you're fine." Katherine said. "...I miss your company."
Colin smiled. "I miss your company as well. I hope we both make it to the merge."
Katherine slightly smiled. "Me too."
Cut to Chris, looking at the camera. "What will happen next? Well, we're currently on our way to the Sahara Desert for our summer season!" He winked. "I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when I tell them there's no shelter!" He deviously laughs and claps his hands. "What will the Sahara bring for our nine contestants? Or shall I say... Eleven! Find out next time on Total Drama SEASONS!" He smirks as the camera shuts off.
I'm so sorry it nearly took a month, but all of you should know that I'll get the job done and this season won't be over until a winner is crowned! Put on the notifications if you haven't already (wink) and as always I appreciate reviews!
By the way, wasn't Nick hilarious this episode? I couldn't stop laughing as I wrote his scenes.
NEXT TIME: Katherine, who seems to be at the bottom of her team, fights her way up with all her might. Things don't quite go Chris's way. Also, Vincent and Maddie FINALLY have their talk.
