"Last time on Total Drama: Diamond Lake... Due to some unforeseen circumstances me and the other responsible adults had to take a short leave, leaving Chef in charge of hosting the show. Master Chief didn't pull nay punches pitting the final four against each other in a series of trials, though one of the players was conspiring against her teammate.
Linka had a good plan, but it was outdone by Roman's cartoonish strength in the losers' tug of war. Even with the assistance of her friends and an revenge seeking intern, Roman was just too strong. Leaving Orion and Krystal at the mercy of a homeless teen father with a grudge against the latter.
Can the power of love finally out Roman down for good? Will Roman bulldoze his way into the finale? I triple dog dare you to watch the final stop before the season finale of...
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.
The episode starts right as the sun was coming up in the nearby woods, where we see a bunch of trees getting knocked over. Upon closer look we see Roman driving his right fist into a giant oak, cutting right through it and sending it toppling over the other trees he's murdered.
Upon much closer look we see Roman's eyes were dreary and had dark circles around them, he huffed before he picked up a log snapped it over his knee, tossing the two pieces aside before shattering a nearby giant rock with a running headbutt.
Katie then arrived at the scene, "Well I see you've been busy." she commented at the destruction Roman caused to the wilderness. "How long have you been up?"
Roman panted as a bunny came up to Roman and handed him his water bottle, which Roman drank from before facing the nurse " A few hours I guess." he said as he before got back to punching another tree, "Its the final three, and I've got an investigator and a rich girl to deal with. So I'm doing a little extra training, at this point you can't take anyone lightly." his punches seemed to be a little more sluggish than usual.
"You know there is such a thing as overtraining right?" Katie told him. Roman panted before giving one last punch, and the shockwaves ran back through his arm before fell back... and a bunch of leaves fell on him. "You okay?"
Roman popped out of the leaves before holding his right arm, groaning as he felt his crying "Damn, feels like my arms are about to fall off."
Katie came up and inspecting, Roman wincing as she poked at certain points of his arm. "Yep, just as I expected. Your arms are totes strained." she let his arm go.
"Just from some all night training?" Roman questioned.
"Roman, how long have your arms been hurting like this, and I want the truth." Katie demanded.
Roman looked down, "Well, to be honest I have felt my arms were a little tired for a while now." Katie gave him a look that said, 'Details'. "I'd say around since... the talent show... when I tipped the stage." she sighed.
"And you never came to me because..." she questioned.
"I don't know." he admitted.
Katie sighed, "Look Roman, I know that you want to focus on winning the prize money for your sons, that you want to be strong so you can protect them. But it won't even matter if you burn yourself out and you entire muscle system breaks down from over-exhaustion, if you keep pushing your body way beyond its natural limitations then it'll collapse and fall apart. I recommend giving your muscles a break and not lifting anything super heavy for at least 24 hours."
"Really?"
"If you don't want your arms to completely fall off, just please try to rest your arms. Not for me, but for your kids. I'm sure they don't want to see their dad hurt himself from overexertion." Katie begged.
Roman sighed, "Very well, nurse's orders." he said as he massaged his arms. Katie petted him on the head before leaving him, he sighed to himself.
(BZZT)
Roman: I know she's just looking out for me, but I got two little boys counting on me winning this thing. But maybe Katie's right, I have been overdoing lately. Hopefully the challenge isn't anything too intense.
(BZZT)
8:04
Orion and Krystal were looking through the buffet table for today's breakfast, searching through all the pancakes, waffles, cereals, eggs of all kinds, sausage links & patties, oatmeal, yogurt, fruit, etc. "Wow, this spread looks so much nicer than at the diner back home." Krystal commented.
"Which isn't really saying much, considering the consistently below average grades from the health inspector." Orion replied, he put 5 pancakes on his plate before scooping up some scrambled eggs. "Anyway, can you believe we are so close to the finale?"
"I kind of did, because Southeasts don't usually lose. But what's really surprising was the stuff that happened on the way, like making peace with you and Maybelle, meeting some new people, the stuff with Uma." Krystal listed off as she filled her plate with food made by DJ, the best chef from TD alumni, "But most of all just, having this special thing with you and getting my father's blessing. Believe me he doesn't impress easily." Orion blushed at her last thing.
"Well, I enjoy what we have too." Orion said as he and Krystal sat down at the old Panther table, they then looked up as Roman entered. The father looking away from them as he went up to the buffet, stretching his arms along the way. "And there goes our one remaining obstacle. Okay, so our last plan didn't exactly work. But if we play out cards right we- wait Krystal!" he stopped when he saw Krystal walking up to Roman as he got his tray.
(BZZT)
Krystal: I'm done with the plans, even we do somehow eliminate Roman it won't change the fact that he hates me. I'm just gonna go up to him and do the one thing a Southeast rarely ever does... apologize.
(BZZT)
Roman just took a bowl of rice krisbees and skim milk, he felt someone tap his shoulder. He looked up and huffed at the sight of Krystal, "Look I just want to say... I'm s... sor..."
"Sorry?" he questioned.
"Yeah that." Krystal nodded, "Even if it was just a ploy to get rid of Uma, I shouldn't have treated you like a punching bag. I know this may be a few episodes late but I just wanted to say it now before we leave camp at the end of the season. I'm...(gulp) sorry."
Roman blinked at this, he sighed "Well I appreciate the apology." Krystal sighed in relief, "I'm still gonna crush you and your boyfriend and take that money."
"Yeah I figured... no hard feelings?" she asked.
"... nah." Roman said before going over to sit at the other table, moving his arms around to try and ease his muscles.
Krystal went back to sit with her boyfriend, who looked perplexed at what just transpired. "Well we're still probably toast, but at least he doesn't hate me anymore."
(BZZT)
Orion: Huh, guess sometimes the best solution is the easiest. I think Maybelle was right, I do tend to overthink things.
(BZZT)
Greg stands atop the giant stage from the talent show, "Well folks, its been a long 18 episodes. Lets hear what our final three players have to say about their journey up to this point, what they plan to spend the money on, and some other secrets that you don't even know about them."
(BZZT)
Orion: How would I explain my time here? Well aside from the ominous threat of a serial killer of legend, I actually had a really fun time here. I got to meet so many new new people, learn some new stories, and my relationship with Krystal is finally at a happy state. I'm pretty sure Deena stole my wallet, Andrius seems nice if not a little quiet, Brian looks like someone down to party, Rose is small but can crack my neck in 30 different ways, Grace reminds me of my ex crush, Roman seems scary but nice when you get to know him (as long as I stay on his good side), and I'm pretty sure Uma gave me a number of STDs. But I think the best new friend I made was Ryo, I may not know his real name but I think we're as close as brothers. He even offered me to join him and Linka in this secret society of crime solvers- I probably should change the subject. If I win the money, I'm gonna do the responsible thing and put half of it in bank, and the other half I'm using to buy stock in the Southeast Hot Sauce Corp. I'm sure Krystal's father will be impressed by my budgeting expertise.
Krystal: How would I describe my time here?... The worst! 2 months of no Wi-Fi, no ponies, no shopping! This dress has been through way too much dirt and filth, I had a horrible time here! But there were a few things that made my experience here somewhat tolerable. Like my new boyfriend, Oriiiiion~ I was gonna just use the prize money to buy my own salon, but now I'm thinking of something bigger. Like taking Orion and his family on a nice relaxing cruise, not often I spend money on something other than clothes and accessories.
Roman: Describe my time here, uh fine I guess. The people were... okay. Tho Andrius was super nice, Grace is pretty cool and is the only one to last more than 3 minutes against me in arm wrestling. And Rose... Rose... I haven't felt this way about anyone in a long time, she's so much like Lea. After I buy me and my sons' a house, I think I'll use whatever money I have left to make a living with her. I hope my boys like her.
(BZZT)
The three semi finalists were now on the stage as well, sitting on large thrones "Guys, the three of you are only one step away from a shot at Total Drama glory. So you're probably wondering what your challenge for today is."
"A mystery hunt?" Orion excitedly guessed.
"Fashion show?" Krystal guess with a hint of flair.
"Chess matches?" everyone looked to Roman like he just grew a second head. "What?"
"You're all wrong." Greg told them, "Since the producers have ran out of ideas that won't potentially put any of you in the hospital, we asked the outed campers if they had any challenge ideas. Turns out they had a lot, so what we did was take all the challenges given to us by the losers and recreated a classic Total Drama challenge." he snapped his fingers and two interns, Andre and Frank, brought out a wheel with pictures off all the eliminated contestants "I Triple Dog Dare You!"
"Ah nuts." Krystal sighed, having stunk at the games of Truth or Dare her future sister in law had the girls play.
"Whoever the wheel lands on, you can either take the dare and win one of our get out of dare freebies, which will be played by bottles of grape soda. Or you can dare one of your competitors, and get no freeby." Greg explained.
Krystal raised her hand, "What if we refuse to do the dare? Do we have to drink the soda or-"
"Refusing any dare will result in your instant termination from the competition, no vote, no marshmallow, no 5 million dollars." Greg said as he gestured to a canoe full of money being lowered on the stage, shutting Krystal up. "Lets get this game started, we're going in Alphabetical order. So Krystal, you're up first." The sole girl remaining went up to the wheel, sharing a kiss with Orion before approaching the wheel and taking a spin. Which spun around and around before landing on... "And the first dare of the challenge is from...
.
.
.
... Deena!" Greg stated, he read from a cue card with Deena's name on it "Her dare is... 'Lick Chef's armpit'"
The contestants' went wide eyed, Krystal quickly letting out "ROMAN!"
The brute blinked before Chef stepped up to him, "FYI, I just came back from an early morning marathon... and I haven't showered yet." he said before he lifted up his arm, moving his shirt sleeve to reveal a sweaty smelly hairy armpit. The stench reaching to Krystal, who fought back a barf.
"Roman, do you acc-"
Greg was interrupted when Roman quickly took a lick of Chef's armpit "Done." everyone, including Chef was stunned by how nonchalant he performed the dare. "You guys should know by now my sense of smell and taste died a long time ago."
"Ok... time for next dare, Orion you're up." Greg said, but before Orion can spin "I probably should have mentioned this at the start, but no person can do two or more dares in a row. Something the producers like to call: 'The Heather clause'." Orion and Krystal gave him looks, "Hey don't look at me, I don't make up the rules."
(BZZT)
Krystal: Well there goes the plan to double team Roman.
Greg: Okay, so Chef and I have a little bet between us. Whoever pukes first has to fork over 100 bucks, and to be honest I was pretty close to blowing chunks at Roman's lick of Chef's armpit.
(BZZT)
Orion took the spin, after a good few seconds the wheel landed on "... Johnny's dare..." Greg read one of the Johnny's cue cards, "'Drink a mixture of Griff's chemicals'. Since Roman performed a dare, someone else has to go next. Orion do you take the dare, dare your beau, or drop out of the game?"
Orion looked to Krystal, before turning to the host "Hand me the chemicals." Greg snapped his fingers, and out comes Landon to hand Orion the mixture. Orion held the beaker full of random chemicals "Hopefully this doesn't poison, though I wouldn't mind if it gave me super strength." Orion quickly downed the mixture, everyone waited for what will happen"... Huh, nothing." Orion said before tossing the beaker away.
"But you do get the first freeby!" Greg told him as he handed Orion a bottle of grape soda. "Now head back to your seat and we'll move onto our last competitor." Orion did so, Greg going wide as he saw a little wolf's tail coming from Orion's backside. Landon looking to the host, who tells him "Not one word."
Roman stepped up to the wheel, his arms were still pretty sore so he gave a lackadaisical spin of the wheel. "Paige... eat a durian!" Greg read.
"A what?" Roman asked.
"Its an edible fruit native to Borneo and Sumatra, and has the smell that comprises the combined scent of raw sewage. moldy pizza, and unwashed gym socks." Orion said as Ruth brought out the fruit, wearing a mask and holding it with a pair of tongs.
"You're so cute when you know things." Krystal cooed as she pinched Orion's cheek, causing him to blush at the attention.
Roman takes the durian, cracking it over his head and releasing the foul smelling stench that the fruit is known for, causing everyone in a ten foot radius get grossed out by the stench. Krystal ran off the stage to go barf somewhere offscreen. Roman meanwhile just started eating the fruit's softer inners, afterwards he tossed the pieces aside. "Done."
"And that's a freeby for Roman!" Greg said as he gave him the freeby, Roman then sat back down. "Krystal, your turn again." Krystal went up and spun the wheel, which then landed on... "Post... stuff ice cubes into your undies, and let them melt."
"Is that it? That doesn't seem to hard." Chef came up with an ice bucket, and scooped a pile of ice cubes into her hands. Krystal looked down at her dress, "Can you guys just look away please?" Everybody, even the camera man looked away as Krystal had to lift up her dress to put the ice in her bra and panties. "EEEEEEEE!" she squeaked at the sudden coldness on her person.
Greg looked back and saw Krystal shaking, "You feeling okay there Krys?"
"Just... give me the freeby!" she demanded as she can feel herself starting to get frostbite in a very uncomfortable place. Greg did so and Krystal went back to her throne as Orion went up to spin, the wheel landing on Rose.
"Wrestle a mountain lion."
Orion saw said mountain lion who was rattling a box, an intern Roy, who was a little dark skin dude, tossed a ham in the cage and in two seconds the lion spit out the bone. He gulped before running behind Roman, "Uh you know Roman maybe you can take this one, you'll tear that thing up in 5 seconds flat." he said before pushing the brute towards the cage.
He saw the mountain lion glare at him, normally he'd be so down for turning an oversized kitty into a Gordian Knot. However with the strain his arms were under, he decided to play it safe "I'll actually use my freeby." he said.
"What?" Orion questioned.
"What?" Krystal repeated.
The mountain lion purred sadly at this, a white skinned intern with long black hair named Banner said to the lion "Sorry Pharaoh."
(BZZT)
Orion: I've never seen Roman back down from a fight before, I mean he wrestled a god damn bear!
Krystal: Why would he use his lifeline on something like this? He'd make mincemeat out of that lion.
Orion: It's probably nothing babe, lets just see what happens from here.
Pharaoh the Mountain lion: Awe man, I was hoping to rip someone's arms off. Why do I never get to have any fun? Meow.
(BZZT)
"Well Roman, you're up next." Greg said as Roman handed in his freeby before spinning the wheel, the result being a dare from "Maybelle... drink a gallon of Maybelle Juice." the interns brought out a thing of the juice, "She gave DJ the recipe if he wants to try it."
DJ shivered, "Tasted like coffee and nightmares had a baby."
Roman shoved the gallon in Orion's hands, who sighed before he started to drink it. Taking a few stops to gag and cough up some legos that got stuck in his throat, but he managed to down the whole thing. "Uuuuuh, (barf) ugh I just threw up in my mouth."
"How you holding up Chef?" Greg asked.
"All good here."
"Well Orion finished his dare, so Krystal time to start the process all over again." Greg called, the rich girl petted Orion on the back as he went back to his seat. Krystal then took her third spin of the wheel, she was still lightly shivering from the ice that was still in her pants. "Linka's dare... listen to the gummy bear song... in full." Everybody gasped, Krystal clenched her fists before holding out her hand, which Landon gave her the headphones and an MP3 player set to the Gummy Bear Song. "Girl, you got a freebies to use. Or maybe you can dare someone else... like maybe one without a freeby." he whispered to her, Roman glared daggers at him because he knows he was talking about him.
"I'll be fine." Krystal told him before putting on the headphones, taking a breath before hitting play.
"Oh I'm a gummy bear, yes I'm a gummy bear~"
(2 minutes later)
Krystal sat in a fetal position on her throne, "gummy bear... I'm a... gummy... bear..." Orion gave her a reassuring hug, Roman gave her a semi sympathetic look as an intern brought over her second freeby.
(BZZT)
Roman: I wouldn't even make my worst enemy do that.
(BZZT)
Orion got up to spin the wheel, landing on Ryo. His dare was, "Carry a 900lb piano up a flight of spiral stars."
"Roman!" Orion quickly said, making Roman look to his arms.
(BZZT)
Orion: Its the only one that makes sense, Krystal has about as much upper body strength as I do. Look at these noodle arms! (he holds his arms out, which wiggle in the air like flowing ribbons in the air) Besides, I'm sure Roman can handle a 900lb piano no problem.
Roman: Crud. I'm supposed to take it easy with the heavy lifting, I can't back out of the dare less I get sent home.
(BZZT)
The crew were now in a nearby warehouse close to the camp. Roman stood at the foot of the stairs, sat right next to him. Greg telling him, "Roman, just gotta move this piano up to the second floor to complete your dare, if any part of the piano is damaged that's an incomplete and you're out of the running."
"No pressure or anything." he grumbled, he looked to Katie who gave him a worried face before he took hold of the piano. He took a deep breath, "This for you boys." he whispered before starting to lift the piano up off the ground. Though his arms were shaking he was able to lift the piano over his head, he slowly took his first step up the long journey. His face says it all as he was putting a lot of weight on himself. Katie looking on in worry as he slowly but surely made his way up, all his exertions of strength this whole season were finally catching up to him.
Off on the side, Krystal nudged Orion "Babe are you seeing this?"
"Yeah, normally by now he'd complete this dare 5 times over." Orion said, "He's tossed trees and giant boulders around without breaking much of a sweat, so something like this should be easy." In all his time he here he's never once seen Roman struggle like this.
Roman's muscles bulged and popped as he made the final step on the spiral staircase, setting it down on the floor. "And Roman completes the dare with the piano fully intact." Greg called from downstairs as Roman falls on the ground, Katie rushed up the stairs and kneeled beside him.
"Roman, how are your arms?" Katie asked.
Roman panted, "Fi-fine." he let out as he clenched and unclenched his fists. "Just a little sore."
"Maybe its best that-"
"No." Roman groaned as he pushed himself up, "I can still compete, I'll be fine."
Katie sighed, "Just please, no more heavy lifting for today. I don't think you arms can take much more."
Roman replied, "Don't worry, I think there won't be anymore dares that require physical strength."
(BZZT)
Katie: I really hope for Roman's sake there are any more strength dares.
Roman: (slowly makes an arm circle with his right arm before he hears a pop, he holds it and groans) Oooow.
(BZZT)
"Roman, you're up." Greg says as Roman walks up to the wheel, holding his arm before spinning the wheel. Landing on Deena, "... Eat dog food!" Orion and Krystal gagged, "Roman, who you gonna dare?" Greg questioned.
"I triple dog dare Krystal." Roman stated, Krystal's pupils dilated. "Nothing personal." he told her as he sat back down.
She got up and treaded over to the wheel, where Greg held up a plate of wet dog food. Krystal grabbed the plate, "Krys, you can use your freebies."
"Yeah babe, you don't have to do this." Orion petted her shoulder.
"No way, my mom is already giving me flak from from my poor performance in Truth or Dare from episode 12." Krystal told him.
"I don't see how-" Orion says before Krystal takes a big scoop of dog food and starts to eat it. Holding in the biggest scream of her life as she continues to eat the dog food.
Seeing this Greg starts to throw up behind the wheel, handing Chef 100 dollars before who then followed up by throwing up himself. Krystal picked her head up and handed the empty plate to an Andre, who then went to a nearby trash can and threw up in it. "Ory..." she goes to try and kiss Orion, who when he smelled the dog food on her mouth ran offstage and threw up in a bush. Roman seeing all this threw up behind his throne, Katie and DJ off to the side threw up.
(BZZT)
Greg: Ok... that was soooooo gross! (he then throws up for a good 6 seconds before questioning) Is there NOTHING these freaks will do?!
(BZZT)
After that barf fest, we get a montage of the final three performing a number of dares. Like Roman pulling a tractor trailer, Orion tight-roping over a pool of piranhas, Roman getting beaten by a group of interns with large tubes of salami, Krystal wearing a skimpy Dark Magician Girl cosplay (which she blushes in embarrassment and Orion has a total nosebleed), Roman eating a tub of spicy peppers, Orion playing Juliet in a sock puppet rendition of Romeo and Juliet (with the sock Romeo played by a sock that was on Chef's feet), Roman laying in a bed of live snakes, Krystal having to kiss a pig, Orion wrestling a lamp post... and losing, Roman walking on hot coals, Krystal eating worm dip on toast points, Orion lifting up a fridge and getting flattened like a Steve-cake, Krystal taking a centipede bath, Roman having eggs thrown at him, and many more dares that left the contestants gagging or strained in the muscles.
"Okay, after about 20 rounds of dares it still looks like anyone's game." Greg said as the montage ended, "How are you guys holding up." he looked to the final three, who looked worse for wear as they either had either injuries, odd smells, or both. They each gave some sign that they were okay to continue, "Okay, since this has gone on way too long. We're gonna have the three of you do one last dare, no freebies can be used to save you and you cannot dare anyone else. If all three of you complete your final dares, you will be judged on how well you completed it, how willing you were to do it, and overall how badly you want to make the finale."
(BZZT)
Orion: This is it, it all hinges on how this last round goes.
Krystal: I've fought hard to get here, and I proved that rich girls can do things themselves.
Roman: I don't know how much my body can take, I can't let my sons down.
(BZZT)
"Krystal, please spin for your final dare." Greg called up, Krystal got up to the wheel. She was still smelling funky from the stinky dares and was pulling a centipede from her bra, but she managed to spin the wheel as this will dictate what she has to do in order to stay in the running. She spun the wheel, "Your final dare comes from...
.
.
.
... Uma!" Greg exclaimed as the wheel landed on her picture, "I'm surprised we haven't had one dare from her all day, now lets see what she has on deck." Greg takes a card with Uma's name on it, "Krystal your final dare is...
.
.
.
...do a sensual pole dance... in front of everyone?" Greg questioned as he read the card, Krystal's eyes dilating as he face turned bright red. Orion from his seat broke out in a sweat. Greg looked to DJ, "Dude, I thought you made sure she didn't make any dares like this!"
"I did!" DJ replied, "How did-" DJ then thought back to when he went to pick up the dares.
DJ was heading out the door, just then Uma popped up "Hey Mr. DJ, before you leave tell me how long are you supposed to leave a casserole in the oven? Say, 30 minutes?"
DJ freaked, "GAH! That's too long, hold onto these while I take care of this culinary emergency!" DJ handed her the dare boxes as he ran to the kitchen. Uma snickered before taking her box and dumping out all the boring dares DJ approved of, and replaced them with her specialty dares.
DJ groaned, "Why am I not surprised?"
Greg shook his head, "Well Krystal... what do you want to do?"
Krystal glared at the picture of Uma on the wheel, even in elimination she was still fucking with her. She imagined the pictured Uma giving her a wink and flashing of her boobs. She growled before facing Greg, "Get me a pole."
We now see Krystal leaning against a pole, wearing only a sparkling pink bikini before she spun around on the pole making some saucy poses. She didn't have the same technique the girl who made this dare, but she saw it still has an effect on Orion. Who gave her a goofy smile and blush, this gave Krystal more confidence to finish the dare in style.
Everyone clapped at her performance as Katie came up to her and put a robe on her, "And Krystal has finished her dare, now lets see how her boyfriend fairs in his last dare." Orion and Krystal passed each other, sharing a peck as Orion went up to the wheel. He spun the wheel, biting his lip as he waited to see what demeaning or nauseating dare he has to complete. He landed on... Ryo.
"Phew, at least I'll have it easy." Orion sighed in relief.
"I wouldn't be so sure Orion," Greg told him, "Ryo's dare is... make out with Priscilla Harvees disembodied head."
"... what?" Orion said, before Landon came up holding the head with a long stick and string. "Thanks a lot man, I thought we were friends." he said to the Ryo picture.
"Somehow we forgot to burn that along with Jaxon's remains. Orion... what do you choose? Accept and risk losing, or decline and take a ride on the Jeep of Losers?" Greg questioned.
Orion looked at the head, all old and decomposed. Orion gulped before he slowly approached the head, Landon looked at the scene as he held the head up "I've seen some gross dares in the challenge, but this takes the cake." he commented. Orion took a big gulp of air before putting his lips on the head- oh god!
"5, 4, 3... 2... 1... and stop!" Greg said before Orion ran off to the washrooms to brush his teeth, and wipe his mouth off. "And Orion has finished his dare, Landon go dispose of that head!" he ordered, "Its creeping me out." Landon did so as he ran to the bonfire, lit it and tossed the head in the flames. "Okay, Roman. Finish us off with the final spin of the wheel."
Roman got up, his arms were still a little sore from some of the dares that required strength like lifting a couch and carrying of the producers Gary to the bathroom. Who was a 400lb man covered in sweat, that was an unpleasant experience. "Lets just get this over with." he spun the wheel.
"Please no lifting, please no lifting." Katie begged.
The wheel was slowing down, landing on "Andrius' dare... which is..." Greg looked at an Andrius card. "...
.
.
.
.
... lift 2 Bronson Clive dumbbells over you head!"
"... fuck." Roman let out.
(BZZT)
Katie: Oh dear.
(BZZT)
As 6 interns brought out the dumbbells, Greg explained "The Bronson Clive dumbbell, named after famous strong man Bronson Clive, who was the first person to successfully lift a 455lb dumbbell over his head with only one hand. Granted afterwards he was put in physical therapy for a month, but he did it. So to compete the dare Roman will have to lift two of them." Roman looked at the dumbells that the interns dropped them on the stage, which made two loud bangs as the stage was reinforced to handle the weight. "Roman, do you accept? Its okay if you don't want to." Greg told him.
Roman looked at his arms before turning to the dumbbells, his muscles are on the verge of collapse. All the rational reasoning in him is telling him to back down from this dare, live to lift another day. But, his pride as a father tells him to take it up. After a tense moment of thinking, Roman grabbed a hold of the dumbbells. They all waited with baited breath before he started to lift them, he bit his lip so hard it started to bleed. His arms aching as he slowly raised the two dumbbells.
"Oh man oh man oh man." Katie freaked as she paced back and forth.
"Katie what's wrong?" DJ asked the camp nurse.
"Ooooooh I know I'm breaking nurse patient confidentiality but..." Katie told DJ, "Roman's got strained muscles!" seh exclaimed.
"What?" DJ questioned.
"Come again?" Krystal asked as she came up to Roman, as did Orion who was chewing on several breath mints to get the taste of rotten flesh off his tongue.
Katie groaned before she explained, "All of Roman's all night training and heavy lifting has finally caught up to him, he's been pushing himself too hard and now I fear he's gonna lose all use of his arms!"
"Oh man, no wonder he didn't wrestle that mountain lion in round 2." Orion said.
"And why he looked in pain during his strength dares." Krystal added.
"I guess even the strongest of us can get pushed too hard." Orion said, he and the others looked to Roman. His arms were shaking as he held the dumbbells at his shoulders, just got to raise them over his head and he's done. But his tank is completely drained.
"Come on... come on..." Roman told himself.
Krystal and Orion went up to Roman, the boy exclaiming "Roman you have to stop!" Roman looked up at the boy, "This isn't about the money anymore, even if you finish you'll have no strength left to continue."
"Roman, think about your kids!" he turned to Krystal, "I know you want to protect them, but they also want you to be safe too. Think, what would they want?"
Katie's question made Roman introspective, he saw a little image of his boys "Dad, they're right."
Imaginary Jey told him.
"No money is worth you losing the use of arms." Imaginary Jimmy added.
Roman groaned before he sighed...

... and dropped the dumbbells with a loud clang.
"GASP!" everyone gasped at this development. Roman dropped to his knees, his arms limp on his sides.
Roman panted as Greg went up to him, "You did the right thing man, I'm sure your sons will be proud of you."
Later that night, we see the hosts, and the finalists seeing off Roman, who by now has his arms bandaged up. "Roman, you were a really tough opponent. Shame this is how you went out." Orion told him.
"Well, it is what it is." Roman said, "I can't feel my arms now, but its been an experience. Congrats, you guys beat me." Roman said.
"Get better soon." Krystal said.
"Yeah... but now comes a bigger question." Orion and Krystal looked at Roman, "Are you willing to take down the one person you love, in order to win?" he questioned before he was driven off into the sunset. Orion and Krystal looked to each other.
"Well, looks like this is it." Orion said.
"Yep, its just us." Krystal nodded, "There's nobody else left." it dawned on them that their gonna have to do battle in the final challenge. "Orion." the boy looked to his girlfriend, "Can you promise me that you will give it your all? I don't want to win because my boyfriend handed it to me, I want to earn it."
Orion nodded, "Only if you promise the same thing."
"Deal." the two of them shared a determine stare down.
Greg then tuned to the camera, "Well we said goodbye to the most physically gifted player in the game, and now we come down to our final two. Will it be Orion Palmers, the boy who was one of the leading investigators of the Camp Diamond Lake mystery? Or will it be Krystal, the girl from riches? Find out in the climactic finale of...
Total!
Drama!
Diamond Lake!"
