"Last time, on Total Drama: Diamond Lake. We found out what happens to the eliminated campers, as Johnny, Roman, and Paige fought for two redemption necklaces, which will allow 2 ex campers to return the play. After a tough battle, Roman and Paige live to fight another day as Johnny became our official first loser. During all this we've got our first couple of the season, as party dude Brian and chillaxer Grace made things official during a marathon of terrible horror flicks.

It all came to ahead during Ultima Dodgeball Extreme, where after Uma's poisoned words and impromptu flashing of Panther boys, the Grizzlies finally snagged their first win. Much to some of their members dismay, specifically Post and Grace. The Panthers were forced into an elimination challenge cause they didn't want to vote anyone off, and Deena was the unlucky soul. So she left, without ever developing her character, but leaving a little something for Andrius.

Is this the start of a much needed comeback for the Grizzlies? Will Uma lead her team to another dirty win? And who's gonna be the next victim of the Dark Forest? Find out now on...

Total.

Drama.

Diamond Lake!"

The camera opened up with a shot of the southern part of the island. The camera flew past Greg and went straight up into the sky and started to drop into the lake. "Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, you guys are on my mind." The camera dropped down into the lake revealing Orion, who seemed to be looking for something.

"You asked me what I wanted to be and now I think the answer is plain to see." Orion rises up to get a breath of air, only to knock Brian off of his surfboard.

"I wanna be famous." The camera moved over to the eastern side of the Island, where Rose and Krystal were glaring at each other.

"I wanna live close to the sun." The camera then cut to the activity center behind the mess hall, where Grace was listening to Post play music.

"So pack your bags cause I've already won." The camera moved over to a different part of the Activity Center where it revealed Deena and Roman engaging in an intense arm-wrestling match.

"Everything to prove nothing in my way." The camera turned around and headed over to the mess hall while passing Paige, who seemed to be trying to talk to Andrius.

"I'll get there one day" The camera then went to the kitchen, where counselors DJ and Katie were fighting a slop monster.

Cause I wanna be famous." Inside the mess hall, Linka was trying not to gag at the food and Ryo was staring at it with no emotion in his eyes.

"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na." The camera headed off to the western side of the island, and quickly showed off Johnny and Uma having a contest to see who the better eye candy is.

"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous. I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous." The camera stopped at Griff, who was giving Maybelle a piggyback ride, only for him to trip and fall into the water. The water cleared from the camera to show all of the campers around a bonfire whistling the tune.


At the Losers' Shack, Roman was seen punching the same tree as before. His ex teammate Paige walked over with a tray of burgers, "Hey, the interns brought us our dinner."

Roman then finished his flurry with a roundhouse punch that finally knocked the tree over, Paige nearly jumped at the loud thud it made. The brute shook his head before grabbing one of the burgers and started to head back to the shack, Paige followed suit.

"You know a simple thanks wouldn't hurt." Paige said, but Roman continued to ignore him. "Are you still upset about us voting for you? Well what else do you expect us to do after you nearly killed half of Team Panthers? I mean-" Roman growled at her, "shutting up now."

Roman sat down on one of the beds, silently munching on his burger.

Paige watched him as she took a bite of her own burger, she swore she saw him pull out a small photo. "Uh-"

"None of your business." Roman grouched as he turned away from her, knowing she what she was probably gonna ask about.

"You know, maybe talking about it could help ease some of whatever stress you're clearly bottling up." Paige told him.

"Like you know anything about stress." he retorted.

"I'm a lawyer in training, you know how hard it is for us to make cases and arguments for whoever you trying to keep out of trouble? Let me tell you, it ain't easy. Trust me I didn't want to vote you out because you were our most physically gifted teammate and-"

"And you'll drop me the first chance you get?" Roman challenged, "Teams only last for so long, at the end its every person for themselves. Only a matter of time before they decide to drop you out of fear."

"We didn't-" Roman gave her a look, Paige sighed "Okay I'll admit your strength was a little intimidating, but that's not the main reason we voted for you."

"Regardless, I'm here now fighting for my survival just like back home."

Paige raised an eyebrow at his statement, "What do you-"

Just then the door burst opened, "What up fellow losers, ooo burgers." Deena arrived and instantly went towards the tray of food, tossing a couple burgers down her gullet.

"Deena?"

"Paige?"

"What are you doing here?" Paige asked.

"Got eliminated, like you did." Deena told her before biting into another burger.

"So wait, the Panthers actually lost?" Paige questioned.

"ATTENTION LOSERS! REPORT FOR YOUR NEXT REDEMPTION CHALLENGE! NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOW!"

"Redemption?" Deena asked.

"Basically they're making us play for these." Paige shows her the necklace she won, "Whoever's wearing one gets to return." Paige explained.

"Ah... neat."


The three soon made their way to battlefield, meeting up with the master of the Dark Forest, Chef Hatchet. "Roman, Paige. Welcome back to the Dark Forest, NOW RETURN YOUR NECKLACES YOU MAGGOTS!"

Roman and Paige unhooked their necklaces before handing them off to two interns, whom gave them to Chef.

"Now, for your next immunity challenge..."

"You three will have 6 minutes to carry as many water glasses, across a 3 inch wide balance beam spanning 20 feet long. The two with the most glasses across remain in contention for a return, the one with the least is out for good."

"Is that it?" Deena questioned.

"Actually... IT ISN'T" he bellowed his megaphone in Deena's ear. The girl holding her ear in slight agony, "You will also be wearing these drunk goggles as you cross." he added as interns strapped on the goggles on the participants' head. "NOW GET INTO POSITIONS!"

Once the three were in their starting positions, Chef called "Alright, 2nd redemption challenge begins... NOW!"

6:00

5:59

At the start of the challenge, Paige and Deena slowly started their first runs. Their goggles making it hard to keep focus as they tried to keep their trays steady, Roman on the other hand made quick work of the beam before handing his tray to an intern.

"ANGRY KID WITH HIS FIRST ROUND OF GLASSES!" Chef announced as a scoreboard appeared. Roman: 6.

Roman ran back, he was allowed to remove the goggles for this portion, only needing the goggles to go across the beam. As Roman got his second tray, Deena and Paige were still trying to remain on their own balance beams. "Come on Deena." the juvie girl told herself, "You've down more difficult stuff wasted this should be no problem." the juvie inmate then made it across, though one of the glasses fell over.

Deena: 5

Deena handed her glasses to the intern in her lane before running back, just as Roman arrived with his second tray of glasses. Roman: 12.

Paige, has slowly and steadily made some progress, having made it just as Roman made his third trip.

Roman: 18

Paige: 6

Deena walked down her beam, spilling a few glasses but made it across. Deena: 8.

5:01

5:00

As the first minute passed, Roman quickly got his 4th tray across.

Roman: 24

"ANGRY TEEN WITH A CLEAR LEAD ON FIRST! NOW'S JUST A BATTLE OF NOT LAST!" Chef called out on his megaphone. Paige continued a slow pace, while Deena started to try and run it, resulting in a loud crash, which only left one glass at the end of the beam.

Deena: 9

Roman meanwhile decided to take two trays across, easily making it across and handing them to a couple interns. "ANGRY TEEN JUST SHOWING OFF NOW!"

Roman: 36

Deena made another dash, leaving only two glasses still standing. Meanwhile Paige got another full tray across.

Paige: 12

Deena: 11

(1 minute left)

:59

:58

In the last minute of the challenge, Roman got 96 glasses. Deena and Paige were tied at 24, since the boy was practically guaranteed retaining his necklace he decided to just watch the two girls fight for who's joining him. Paige kept making small steps, Deena kept trying to make fast runs and kept crashing with one or two glasses still intact.

Deena: 26

Paige inches more and more to the end as the seconds ticked by, Deena made another dash with 1 intact glass.

Deena: 27

"IN 5! 4!"

Paige makes a desperate leap.

"3! 2!"

And makes it, an intern taking her tray. "1!"

BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR

"TIMES UP!" Deena and Paige collapsed to the ground, panting after the challenge. "Alright maggots, after careful review from the judges, we've determined who remains to fight for a shot back. In first place, Roman!" the brute nodded before he was given his redemption necklace back.

"Paige, Deena. One of you is moving on, and that person is...

... Paige."

The lawyer sighed in relief, the juvie girl shook her head "Damn it."

"Deena, sorry to say but you're done." Chef said.

"Welp, not much I can do now." she shrugged before she was escorted away as Paige joined Roman with her retained necklace.

"Roman, Paige. You're two for two in the Dark Forest, I'll be honest I didn't expect that out of little Ms. Law & Order. Head on back to the shack and wait for your next challenger." The former Grizzlies retreated back to the Losers' Shack.
