(Intro Plays)

The episode begins with a shot of a frisbee flying through the air. The camera pulls back to show Lamar, Garry, and Molly. Molly catched it with a smirk and throws it back. The other team is Brenda, Faith and Caleb. Brenda catches it easily and tosses it back.
XXXXXXX
Christian and Nick are sitting on the dock. Christian reads a book as Nick sits there quietly. He closed his book. "Is there something you wanna talk about man?" he asked him.
"Yeah," he replied. "We may have a problem." He raised an eyebrow. "I think Brenda has gone off the deep end." He paused for a moment before adding, "And I might be the reason for it."
Christian signed, "I knew this would happen," When Nick looked confused he explained, "You've focused too much on manipulating things when we already have a solid 6 to the end. I was with you at first, but you're starting to take it too far. Now you're endangering the entire alliance."
He agreed with him, "You're right, But how would you actually feel about getting rid of a threat like Lamar?"
"That would require him to lose immunity," He deadpanned.
"And we would still have a 5-3 advantage over the Gophers," Nick added as he walked off.
The shot went back to the frisbee game, which was interrupted by a walling cry from the outhouse.
"I guess Ramona's still upset over what happened with Erica," Caleb commented.
"Weak," Brenda scoffed.
XXXXXXX
Confessional
Ramona - The bass decided to vote off Erica, it's made me very upset ever since. But I know that I have to win, so I can avenge her elimination.
XXXXXXX
"Maybe someone should see how she's doing?" Garry suggested.
"Ugh! Her ugly best friend was voted off. She's obviously sad about it. How did someone so useless ever make it this far?" Brenda berated.
"I'll go check on her," Lamar said before leaving.
XXXXXXX
The camera flashed to the outhouse, where Ramona had just stepped out. Lamar walked up to her and said, "I'm sorry for what happened with Erica,"
"It's not your fault," Ramona said. "You're just playing the game."
Lamar paused for a moment, "We should team up together, to avoid our eliminations."
Ramona perked up, "You're right, They think they can just team up and vote off everyone here with no opposition? Well they just messed with the wrong sista!" She punched her hand open to emphasize this point. Lamar looked on with a smile as feedback for the loudspeaker.
"Mmmmmmoring campers!" Chris's voice announced. "Your next challenge awaits you at the arts and craft center."
XXXXXXX
The scene flashed to a tiny shack. The nine remaining campers stood outside. Chris walked over to them and said, "Welcome to the arts and craft center."
"Uh," Faith said nervously, "If you say so."
Chris shrugged, "Yeah, it used to be an outhouse, but now it's where Chef parks his road hog," He kicked the door in to show them an impressive red motorcycle with flame decals. The guys talked amongst themselves about how nice it looked.
"Which brings me to today's challenge," the host explained," building your own wheels."
"Motorcycles?" Caleb asked excitedly. "Awesome!"
"You'll find all the parts you need in your bike depot," the host gestured to a pile of bicycle parts.
Caleb deflated, "Right, another disappointment,"
Chris continued, "Once you finish with the basics, you can trick 'em out with props from the arts and craft center." He put on an army helmet, got on an ATV, and drove off. "Best design wins!" And," he stopped and looked back at the campers, "To prove I'm a nice guy, I'm even throwing in a bike manual." He tossed Nick an old crusted book with something green.
"How old is this thing?" Nick asked.
Faith looked over his shoulder and answered, "Pretty old considering all that mold." Nick dropped the book instantly, causing her to giggle. Neither noticed the galre Ramona sent her way.
Confessional
Ramona - Looks like the Gophers got rid of the wrong person, I was great with bikes back when i was a kid growing up.
XXXXXX
Caleb strolled to the bike depot and said, "I can't wait to build my first bike."
Molly looked at him, "You've never ridden a bike before?"
"No, I've ridden them," he explained. "I just never had one of my own. My parents wouldn't allow it. I'd ask for one every christmas, but never got it.
Faith and Lamar were watching with tears in their eyes. "Your parents never gave you your Christmas wish?" Faith asked with a broken voice.
"Man," Lamar added with his own broken voice, "that just ain't right."
"Oh suck it up!" Brenda yelled at the two. "Figures the dummy and the cybaby would care about a delinquent," All three teens, and Nick glared at her.
XXXXXX
Confessional
Nick - I think Brenda would be easy to beat at the end, but if she continues being a liability like this then it's gonna be me who's voted off. More importantly, I can't keep up with the facade that I actually like her.
Brenda - Now that I think about it, there's no way my alliance will betray me. Nick is in love with me and the rest of the losers will follow him.
XXXXXX
Faith grabbed Nick and pulled him aside, "Can you help build my bike with me?" she asked.
Nick's eyes twitched several times before saying, "Anything for you. Partner." Well, not so much saying it as it is spitting it out. He walked off while gritting his teeth.
XXXXXX
Confessional
Nick - I have decided to move Faith's elimination up. To Right now.
XXXXXXXX
The scene cut to the Bass alliance all glaring at each other. The camera focused on each one as they built they're bike. Brenda, who was wearing thick gloves, was wrapping barbed wire around a small log. Christian was drawing a design for a bike on an easel, and Caleb was trying to bowl up a tire by mouth. He strained himself trying to do so and wound up passing out.
XXXXXXX
Molly was seen with a roll of duct tape in one hand and a bottle of glue in the other, trying to decide which one to use.
XXXXXX
The camera cut to Garry as he dug through a pile of tires. He smiled and held up and held up one with nine spoked. "Awesome!"
XXXXXX
Confessional
Garry - Nine's my lucky number, so I guarantee a win here.
XXXXXXX
His smile widened ever further when he found a second wheel with nine spokes.
XXXXXXX
The scene flashed to Ramona and Lamar. The latter of the two seemed to be focusing more on protective gear then building a bike, while the former was duct taping various metal pieces together. "Hey Lamar?" Ramona asked.
"What's up," he answered.
"Have you ever felt like there's more going on then you can see?"
He gave her a confused look. "What do you mean?"
"Well," she started, "i'm pretty sure no one here likes Brenda, but she still manages to stay in the game. Obviously i know it's because of an alliance, but-"
He cut her off, "It's okay, i get what you mean,"
She signed, "Good, sometimes I feel like you're the only one left who gets me, you know" the two smiled.
XXXXXX
The camera flashed to the Bass alliance, but Caleb was still passed out. Suddenly Christian asked, "So….what happened on your first bike ride?"
Brenda answered first, "my dad did the "pretend not to let you go" thing, but he forgot to teach me how to stop. I hit my face head first into the sidewalk and lost like 3 teeth. They were baby teeth, but still it hurt.
Molly walked up and scoffed, "I got you beat. I hit a rock at the perfect speed and angle and was sent flying off over the handlebars and into a thorn bush. It took 4 hours to get them out.
The two girls looked at each other and said, "Good times," No one noticed Lamar listening in with a nervous expression.
The camera cut to a loudspeaker. "Campers!" Chris's voice sounded. "Time to judge your bikes. Put your pedal to the medal and meet me at the crafts center."
XXXXXX
"Well campers," Chris said. "Time to see what you could come up with." He walked through to judge the bikes. "Excellent aerodynamics Christian." Christian's bike was built from what looked like branch-sized twigs with a lone pillow where the driver would sit.
"It's simple," Christian replied, "But effective."
The host walked over to Garry, his bike or motorcycle, was made from chunky planks of wood with some imitation bat wings coming from under it. "Sweet motorbike dude!" Chris commented.
"Thanks man," Gary replied as he high fived the host.
The next bike was Brenda's. Hers was made of average sized pieces of wood, several of which where wrapped in a barbed wire, and painted a dark green. "This is unexpectedly hardcore," Chris commented. Brenda said nothing in response.
Chris checked out Lamar and Ramona's bike next. Both were very simple designs made from various pipes and had wooden wheels. Lamar's even had training wheels. "Seriously," the host said, "these are lame."
He judged Molly next, like all others it was made from wood. However, she spent more time on decorating it with a large fox tail and ears with an orange paint job. "Way to stick to a theme Molly," Chris said.
The next bike was Nick's. While his was made from the same twig-branches as Christian's, they were put together in a way that made it look like Chef's bike. "Now this is a hot ride!" Chris commented. "Nice!"
XXXXXX
Confessional
Nick - It wasn't up to my usual standards due to time constraints, but I feel confident in this challenge.
XXXXXX
Faith drove her bike to Chris, It looked the most like something you would buy from a store, minus some pieces of tape here and there. "Eh," Chris shrugged. "Anyone seen Caleb?"
The camera flashed back to Caleb, who groaned a bit but still did not wake up.
The host shrugged. "Oh well, his loss. Cause this is where it gets good. We're gonna race these babies hard! However, you won't be riding your own bikes. You'll be switching them!" The camera panned and showed the shock faces of Ramona, Brenda, and Lamar. "Cruel twist, huh?" he asked mockingly. "Alright then, see you at the beach!"
(Fade to Commercial))
The camera came back to the beach. The eight campers in the challenge stood in front of a white line, Chef stood behind it reading a book and holding a flag. Chris sat on an ATV as he explained the next part of the challenge. "Ok, here's how it works." he held up a bike helmet, "Everyone picks a name out of the helmet to see who's bike you're riding. If your bike makes it across the finish line, then you get to ride in the final race for invincibility." He shot a look to Nick and Molly, "And if i think you're purposely throwing this challenge, you will be disqualified from the immunity race. Even if your bike makes it across. Got it?" Everyone grumbled they're acceptance as they picked names. "Now before we start, has anyone seen Caleb?"
XXXXXXXXX
The camera flash back to the start of the race and showed who was on which bikes: Nick on Lamar's, Ramona on Christian's, Faith on Nick's, Brenda on Faith's, Lamar on Garry's, Christian on Brenda's, Molly on Ramona's and Garry on Molly's.
"Ok Racers!" Chris announced. "On your marks," Brenda was seen with a determined scowl. "Get set!" Nick had a confident smirk. "Paramedics on standby," he muttered under his breath. "Aaaand drag!" They all started except for Nick and Lamar.
Lamar looked around. "Where are the pedals?" he asked.
Nick tried to drive Lamar's bike, but it was too heavy. He looked toward Lamar and said, "I would recommend squeezing that lever on the handlebar." Lamar scratched his head and tried it, The resulting burst of speed sent him down the course with a scream.
Faith had made it to the front of the path, having just passed Garry. She looked behind her and smiled, "Catch me if you can!"
Further back, Ramona was doing pretty well in the race. Christian called out to her, "Impressive! I thought that bike would buckle under someone else's weight!"
XXXXXXX
Confessional
Nick - I may have taken some precautions to ensure that certain people don't win immunity.
XXXXXXXXXX
The bike, to its credit, didn't buckle. It instead fell apart as if someone removed all the bolts. Ramona fell into the pile of parts. Christian saw this, but was too close to do anything and he crashed into the pile.
At the front of the pack, Faith and Molly were trying to ram each other off track. Neither had much success. Suddenly, Lamar flew through. They both swerved to avoid him and Faith ended up crashing. Lamar and Molly made it out unscathed and crossed the finish line. Chef waved the flag as Garry and Brenda finished the course.
"Yes!" Chris said as he drove up in the ATV. "We have three awesome wipeouts by Faith, Ramona and Christian." The camera showed the pile of parts that Ramona and Christian were tangled in. "And four invinsibilty race winners: Molly's foxmobile, Ramona's safemobile, Garry's bike, and Faith's store bought beauty. Now it's time to head to the TDI motocross" He drove off.
Nick walked over to Faith and told her, "Congratulations on making the finals."
"Thanks!" she replied.
"If you recall," he warned her, "I built that bike that made it across so you owe me."
"Okay….I'll be sure to make it up to you!" Nick walked away to avoid saying anything.
The camera flashed to Caleb one last time. This time he did wake up, but only to see a bear walking through the campgrounds. He blinked once and laid back down.
XXXXXX
Flash back to the race. The camera showed Lamar, Nick, Christian and Brenda on a ledge watching the race, then panned down to the racers.
Chris drove up to explain the challenge. "Campers welcome to the: MOTO MOTO MOTO CROSS CROSS CROSS CHALLENGE CHALLENGE CHALLENGE!" The screen split into two, then three. "Using your own wheels, you'll race the course avoiding certain pitfalls." He looked off screen and yelled, "Cue the deathtraps! They're dodging the landmines," The camera panned to the first part of the course. Several landmines went off. "Maneuvering through the oil stick," The camera showed a large puddle of oil. "And finally jumping…the prinihas!" The camera flashed to a pool in the water. A ham was tied up in a rope over it. The ham was lowered into the pool and the pool bubbled. The rope was pulled to show the ham, and some of the rope was devoured. "Oh! And one more thing. First one to cross wins invincibility. Last one to cross gets voted off the island. No bonfire, do not pass go, do not collect a marshmallow. Annnnd race!"
The four racers took off. Ramona made it ahead of the pack and was in first for a while but was hit by a landmine and was blown off the track and into Chef, bike and all. The other three made it through the first part without hitting any mines and continued to the oil slick. Garry was in the lead there, but hit the stick too fast to control it and skidded off the course with a crash. It was down to Faith and Molly. They both made the piranha pit at the same time and jumped, but Molly timed her jump wrong and landed into the pool. She quickly jumped out and started pulling the fish off her. Faith crossed the finish line unopposed.
Chris drove up. "And we have our winner-" he started but was cut off by Faith.
"Yes!," Faith yelled. "I did it!"
"Not exactly true," Chris corrected. "You see when Ramona wiped out, she was thrown across the finish line, making her the first to cross." The camera showed Ramona's look of confusion. "And when Garry and Molly wiped out" The camera showed Garry trying to wipe all the oil off himself, then Molly trying to get rid of the piranhas, "They technically didn't cross the line at all. Which makes you the second out of two to cross, meaning: It's dock of shame time baby."
"Wait, what did you just say?" Faith asked with a panic.
"Let me break it down for you," Chris said with an impish grin, "You. Are. Out." He pointed at her to emphasize this point.
"No! I can't lose before brenda! I can't! This must be a mistake!"
Suddenly Brenda told her, "Just shut up and get over it!"
Faith eyes narrowed "What did you just say to me?" She asked directly to Brenda's face.
Brenda didn't back down. "You heard me. You lost and are a loser. Again. So get. Over. It."
"How dare you talk to me like that?" Faith said angrily, "You ugly parasite, you are nothing but a pain to everyone here, who only keeps you around because they feel sorry for your parents who have to deal with you. You are by far the nastiest and unpleasant person I've ever met in my life, and I'd be absolutely shocked if even 1 person cared about you."
"Wh-" Brenda started before getting interrupted.
"Shut up!" Faith yelled. Everyone was looking at the two, the camera slowly zoomed in on her as she continued her rant. "You are the last liked person on this island, You always have been, Even Wanda is more well liked then you! You're just a bossy bratty little-" There was more to what she was saying, a lot more, but it was censored. "And I put up with it this whole time on the Island thinking that I was the problem. But it was you being a little-" Whatever it was she said the last time, she repeated. "And I don't care anymore. I don't need your approval. And by the way, Nick likes me better!" The campers all laughed at the look of horror on Brenda's face.

Confessional
Faith - I can't believe I just did that! I mean, she had it coming, but still….
XXXXXXXX
The camera cut to the dock of shame, with Faith walking to the boat of losers. She turned to the others and said, "Make sure to kick Brenda's butt for me!" She boarded the boat of losers and was driven off into the sunset.
XXXXXXX
Author's Note - So faith's gone, she was fun to write for but i always intended for her to go the Lindsay route and be eliminated here, she had good plot with other characters and i enjoyed her this season. Not to mention she got to tell off Brenda.
