"Last time on Total Drama: Diamond Lake. We had the most closest redemption challenge so far as Roman, Andrius, and Post took a jab at Mt. Insidious. The three boys fought hard, but sadly we had to say goodbye to our favorite rapper.
The campers were on a culinary investigation as they tried to recreate what dessert was baked in the Camp Kitchen. The Panthers had an easy win as their head chef was a literal detective in Ryo. Despite some shiftiness from Uma, the Panthers continued their second winning streak thanks to Ryo's back up plan.
At the elimination Uma managed to evade eviction thanks to the idol she stole from Orion, leaving Griff as the 7th person voted off camp. And turns out, he's invisible. That I didn't see coming.
What other secrets are these campers hiding? Will Uma keep avoiding the Loser Jeep? Will this story reach 2 digit follows? Stay tuned to find out 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.
Roman and Andrius were seen sitting at a fire in front of the shack, the small boy roasting a marshmallow and the male Eva roasting a hot dog. "You know, this is kind of nice." Andrius said.
"Agreed, being out here away from the drama and challenges is kind of relaxing." Roman replied.
"What do you think Chef's gonna make us do in the next redemption challenge?"
"Whatever he has planned, I'm sure the Tribal Chief and the scrappiest little man in this entire contest can handle themselves just fine." Roman insures.
"You really think I'll survive a third time? I barely got passed Mt. Insidious if not for my rock climbing experience." Andrius said.
"You do professional rock climbing?" Roman asked.
"Only for Special Olympics." the little guy clarified, "I also did basket ball, swimming, and soccer. You do any sports?" he asked as he pulled his roasted marshmallow out of the fire.
"I played in my high school football and wrestling team, that was until I was banned from athletic competition for causing too many injuries." Roman answered as he took a bite out of his cooked wienie.
Andrius looked to him, "Should I be worried?"
"If you can take getting tossed into a wooden table by a sleep deprived me, you can handle anything." Roman said.
"I'm... kind of surprised you think so highly of me." Andrius let out.
"Whoever can walk away after a fight with me earns my respect, same goes for Orion and Rose. Did she ever talk about me?" Roman asked.
"I don't know, I'm not very good at... social matters." Andrius shrugged, "Why do you ask?"
"No reason." he looked away with a faint hint of red on his cheeks.
"Speaking of, did Deena mention me at all while she was here?" Andrius asked.
"Not really, though she probably didn't even get the chance since she lost her first challenge." Roman said, making the tiny man whimper. He then chuckled "Didn't think you were into bad girls."
"I just... wanted some answers as to... why she kissed me before she left." he explained.
"I am not properly equipped to help you here." Roman told him.
"LOSERS ON DECK! TIME FOR YOUR NEXT CHANCE TO NOT BE A LOSER!" They heard Chef call out.
"Already?" Andrius raised an eyebrow. "But I thought we needed 3 people for a challenge here."
"Maybe there's been a rule change." Roman shrugged.
"I don't know, but we should prob-b-b-b-b-b-b-b-" Andrius started to stutter as he pointed to something behind Roman.
"What, what is it?" Roman asked, "Do I have something my face?" Not seeing what was coming up behind him.
"GHOST!" Andrius screamed as he ran down the pathway to the challenge.
"Ghost? What was he-" he then turned to where his friend pointed, and went wide eyed "Oh crud." he said before running after Andrius as the small kid's screams were still heard. "Wait for me!"
"The squirrels go gathering nuts in May, nuts in May, nuts in May~ The Squirrels go gathering nuts in May on a cold & frosty morning~ Yahoo!" The ghost sang as he skipped into a heel click, who turned out to be Griff who shed his orange suit, now only wearing his brown trench coat, pants, and loafers.
After some explaining from Griff, the boys all reached the challenge area.
"Alright maggots, tonight you miserable pieces of shit will be attempting to dig your way through 5 layers of drywall, using only the provided weapons." Chef explained as he showed the kids three rows of Styrofoam walls. "The first two to get through all 10 of their walls and hit the buzzer on the other side of the field."
"Easy." Roman rolled his eyes.
"WHAT WAS THAT SOLDIER!" Chef bellowed in his face. "Since you think its not challenging enough for yah, you three can only use 1 weapon per wall, and you cannot pick your weapons!" a couple interns brought a spinning wheel with 20 choices of weapons. "Whatever your dart lands on, that's what you're using. Once you get your whole body through a wall, then you move onto the next. Still think its 'easy'?" he asked Roman.
(Weapons of choice:
1:boxing glvoes
2: 2x4
3: Chef's choice
4: build a weapon
5: brick
6: rock
7: ?
8: chair
9: hammer
10: pipe
11: intern's choice
12: pencil
13: tennis racket
14: spoon
15: bowling ball
16: football helmet
17: Gilded Chris
18: stick
19: player's choice
20: shoe
He shrugged "Kind of?"
"In that case, HERE'S YOUR FIRST WEAPON YOU SACK OF HORSE SHIT!" Chef belted out on his megaphone as he handed Roman a small plastic spoon.
Roman wiping some of the army vet's spit off his face as he looked at his 'weapon'.
"Midget, Invisible Man! Take your shots." Chef said as he handed them both a dart. "Shortest go first."
Andrius takes an aim as a male intern spun the wheel, 'Come on boxing gloves' he thought before throwing the dart. "SMALL BOI TAKES THE HELMET!" an intern tossed Andrius a football helmet.
"Um, okay?"
Griff then takes his aim as the wheel started spinning again, "Come on, give pappy something good!" he begged as he released the dart, and it struck ... chair.
"GRIFFON GETS A CHAIR!" Chef belted as Griff was handed a folding chair.
"This will suffice!"
"Now that each of you have your first weapons, GET TO POSITIONS!" Once all three boys were at their starting lines, from top to bottom its Andrius, Roman, and Griff. "On your marks, get set... GO!"
The boys went at their walls, Andrius banging his helmeted head against the drywall as Griff started hitting his wall with his chair. The former making some dents but giving himself a headache, he then took a different approach by taking off the helmet and using it to beat the wall.
Roman on the other hand was having a level of difficulty, his plastic spoon not doing him any favors.
Andrius's banging eventually made a small hole that he was able to get himself through, the intern watching over him gave him the thumbs up "You're good." sending him over to collect his second weapon.
Andrius: 4/5 walls remaining
"Chicken Little taking the early lead, his small stature proving majorly beneficial." Chef stated. Griff was so far had a similarly sized hole, but since he's the tallest one in the challenge he had to do some more work. Roman on the other was going three times as hard, trying to put in as much force he could with his spoon.
Andrius took his aim as the bigger boys were still working on their first walls. The dart landing on 'shoe', the small boy was then given a steel toe boot. He shook off the confusion before working on his second wall, digging the steel toe into the wall.
Roman's manic strikes finally paid off as he ripped out a huge piece of the Styrofoam before he leaped right through. His watcher giving the go ahead to get a weapon for the next wall. Meanwhile Griff finally took his wall down, stepping through the wreckage as he was told to draw his next weapon.
Roman: 4/5 remaining
Griff: 4/5 remaining
Roman went over to the spinning wheel before throwing his dart, landing on boxing gloves. Griff took his aim as Roman was handed his weapon, hitting 'rock' before being given a stone. Andrius was just about done digging his hole, he started to climb through it as Roman ran up to his second wall and punched it with enough force to ripped it clean off. Roman ran to collect his third weapon as Andrius slid out.
Andrius: 3/5 remaining
Roman: 3/5 remaining
Griff kept nailing his wall with the stone he drew as Roman and Andrius were setting up to throw for their next weapon, Roman's dart landed on player's choice as Andrius hit hammer. An intern handed the small boy a hammer as Roman walked up to the weapon's table, the intern asked "So, which one do you want? The pick axe, the sledge hammer, the chainsaw?"
Roman looked through all the weapons before setting his eyes on the intern, "Actually..."
The intern gained a scared look, "What are you-" he was then grabbed by Roman before being tossed right through the drywall. Roman stepped through, his watcher giving him a shaking thumbs up. Roman went to get his next weapon as his onlooker kneeled down next to the intern that was used as a weapon. "You okay, Frank?"
"Ugh, I'm fine Rachel. We probably should have been more specific with player's choice."
Roman: 2/5 remaining
"Roman taking an unconventional method to the lead as Griff finally gets through his second wall." Chef commentated as Griff stepped through his second wall, given the go to get a new weapon.
Griff: 3/5 remaining
Roman takes his shot as Griff got in line, Roman took aim at the spinning wheel. The dart hitting 'Chef's choice', making the vet chuckle as Roman groaned. "Alright, what are you making me use?" he asked.
Chef snickered before tossing Roman a pen, making the Tribal Chief frown. He then went over and started puncturing his wall with the pen. Griff then hit 'build a weapon', he let out a "HUZZAH!" before going over to the weapon's section. Taking a boxing glove and duck taping several nails to it.
Andrius kept swinging his hammer at his wall, he then shimmied through the small hole.
"The Shortstack once again squeezing his way through yet again." Chef called as Griff was punching his wall with his makeshift weapon.
Andrius: 2/5 remaining
Roman kept puncturing his wall before his pen finally broke, "Damn it!" he then tossed the broken pieces away before he just starting tearing at the foam with his bare hands. Griff on the other hand kept at it before stepping out from the wreckage of his 3rd wall.
He and Andrius ran past each other, the latter had drawn football helmet again.
Griff: 2/5 remaining
Roman finally broke through his penultimate wall, panting from exhaustion before going to draw for his final weapon.
Roman: 1/5 remaining
Andrius also feeling it as his pounding with the helmet had less power in them, Griff came up to his second wall with a tennis racket as he too tiredly hit his wall. Roman tossed his dart for the final time...
.
.
.
.
... boxing gloves.
Roman sighed in relief as he was handed the gloves, he slowly walked towards his final wall as he strapped them on. Andrius and Griff both broke through their walls, trudging over to get their final weapon.
Andrius: 1/5 remaining
Griff: 1/5 remaining
Roman stepped up to his wall, he shook his head. Thinking about Jimmy and Jey, this gave him the motivation to start punching at his final wall, Andrius and Griff taking their final cracks with their final weapons. Andrius using a hammer and Griff using a bowling ball.
It was now a 3 way race, each one trying to break through the last level of drywall.
Just then Roman burst his way through before crawling over to the buzzer and hitting it, he then collapsed.
"ROMAN'S STILL IN IT! WHO WILL JOIN HIM?" Chef called out.
Griff kept tiredly lunging the ball at the wall, while Andrius tore another hole in the final wall which he pulled himself through. Andrius then pushed himself up and went over to the buzzer and hit it.
"GAME OVER! GRIFF LOSES!"
Griff stopped and sat down, panting after the battle. "Well... can't win them all."
(10 minutes later)
Roman and Andrius each took their necklaces, "Guess this is it Griff." Roman told the invisible teen.
"Indeed it is," Griff nodded, "But it was a good show while it lasted, you two are tougher than uranium nails." he and Roman shared a bro shake, "Good luck out there Sir, Roman."
Roman chuckled, "Same."
Andrius then chanted as he joined in "Grizzlies for life! Even though I'm not a grizzly!" Roman smiled before shuffling the tiny boy's hair. Griff took his leave.
The two then faced Chef, "Andrius, you're the shortest kid in the contest. Yet you've just beaten your 4th redemption challenge, proving that you can hang with the big dogs. Roman, you've been here since the first Dark Forest challenge. How do you feel about that?"
Roman combed a hand through his hair, "Unbelievable."
"Well good news for you two, you're hard work will soon be worth it. Cause tomorrow you guys will defend your necklaces for one last time, make it through and you're back in the game." Chef told them.
"Just one more time." Andrius told Roman.
"One more time." Roman nodded.
"With that out of the way, YOU'RE DISMISSED!" Chef belted before the two boys walked back to the shack, Chef watched them go "There go the bravest men I've ever seen." he saluted them.
