Chapter Thirteen: X-Treme Torture
Chris: [narrating] Last time on Total Drama Island, the twelve surviving campers were put through Master Chief Hatchet's brutal boot camp!
[as always, the stock shot of Chris on the docks switches to a series of clips from the previous episode, beginning with Chef explaining the challenge to the contestants, followed by skipping to the obstacle course and showing the campers trying to make their rounds about it]
Unsurprisingly, Wolf was the first one sent to the brig by Major Harshness for disorderly conduct and thinking that he could bad boy his way out of training.
[Wolf sitting alone in the dark is shown briefly, before he is visited by Fox]
Fox ended up joining him and then got him out of the fish cabin, seems to me like there might be more to it than that, wouldn't you agree? Meanwhile, Carmen, Ivy, and Katz teamed up to cross enemy lines and steal food for their teams, with Ivy finding out that sometimes being sneaky pays off.
[the next scene shown is of Carmen, Ivy, and Katz conversing at dinner, then sneaking up on the Craft Services tent, the red feline throwing a few smoke bombs, with the two women raiding the fridge while host and assistant are occupied, followed by Carmen and Ivy talking]
Anyway, Katz showed that he had what it took to pass Chef's boot camp and it was Ivy who got the boot, but not without learning that Carmen wasn't so bad after all, though just what is Katz up to you might ask?
[the scene changes to a brief shot of the red feline winning the challenge for his team before a few shots of the elimination are shown, followed by Katz standing before the campfire. It then cuts back to Chris standing on the docks]
Who knows, it's hard to tell with that guy, unless it involves torture. Speaking of which, this week, the campers are pushed to the extreme! Who will crack under the pressure? Find out right now, on Total…Drama…Island!
(Fade to Opening Theme)
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
You guys are on my mind!
Ya asked me what I wanted to be,
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
I wanna be...famous!
I wanna live close to the sun!
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;
I'll get there one day.
'Cause I wanna be...famous!
(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(Fade to Episode)
[the scene opens with Jasper out in the woods taking a walk]
Jasper: [sighs] Finally, some time to myself, maybe I can clear my head a little bit…[hears something chittering underneath her and looks down, a gopher next to her left foot]...do you mind? [the gopher shrugs and scampers off, having finished its curiosity] Pfft, whatever…
[Jasper walks over to a river and kneels down to take a drink, making a sound of approval as she slightly douses her face with the water, finding it refreshing]
That's more like it…[looks up at the moon, it's full tonight…something about it makes her pursue her lips, as if in rememberance]...I never did forget you, even if you never told me…[looks down at her reflection in the water]...all that time, kept in the dark, just to find out the truth…[looks back into the water and then another memory comes back to her, slipping into the river]...I never did make it to you, did I…not that you'd want me to, after…what happened…
[suddenly an arrow shoots over the orange gem's head and sticks onto a tree]
What the?!
Robin: [off-screen] Oh, my apologies, is someone there?
Jasper: [sighs] Of course…
Robin: [on-screen] Oh, I apologize for that, Jasper, I was doing a bit of target practice and I suppose my aim was a little off.
Jasper: Yeah, no kidding.
Robin: Although I couldn't help but overhear you talking to yourself, is everything alright?
Jasper: [blushes] Um, that was, I was just…[sighs]...yeah, everything's fine, just…thinking back is all…
Robin: Oh, not to worry, I do that sometimes as well, got a lot on my mind usually.
Jasper: Well, aren't you the lucky one?
Robin: Forgive me for asking, but what is it you were talking about?
Jasper: I'll just say that it's nothing that concerns you, it's my personal business.
Robin: Ah, right then, I won't press you on about it.
Jasper: Yeah…thanks…
Robin: No problem.
[a shot of the camp from the beach is shown next, the background music beginning lightly as the camera flies up and over to the dining hall. The music deepens as a camera hidden within a dumpster catches the lid being raised and a bear grabbing several unopened packages of marshmallows from inside. It looks around as snoring starts to play over the scene, and the bear's closing of the dumpster lid transitions the footage into a quick shot of Usagi lightly snoring in her bed. Wolf and Carmen are also shown asleep, the lupine in a black tank top while his counterpart wearing clothes similar to her usual attire. Angelina is the fourth and final camper shown, sleeping in a light blue gown and peacefully breathing in and out]
[the sound of an airplane flying close by startles her awake with a gasp and a snort, and she shoots a look of annoyance above her. A small, battered, and rusty yellow plane flies by; one of its front wheels have been replaced by a ski, and Chris is just barely visible in the cockpit. The marshmallow-stealing bear is shown running away from the commotion, and as Wolf, Carmen, Usagi, and Angelina come out to check what is going on, Chris makes another pass]
Chris: Incoming!
Wolf: Scatter!
[this prompts the four who have been shown previously as well as Fox to take off running just before the plane flies through the common area]
Chris: Hah! Oh man, just wait until I get my Pilot's License!
[Chris' eyebrows raise in shock as he crashes right through the confessional outhouse, revealing the bear crouched on the ground behind it, paws over its eyes. It notices its lack of shelter and the camera and looks embarrassed, then quickly gathers the bags of marshmallows it had dropped and ran. The plane screeches to a halt, and the camera zooms in on the smiling host as the visor of his helmet retracts]
Chris: [through a megaphone] Just flexing your muscles for today's EXTREME SPORTS CHALLENGE!
[the final words reverberate loudly, causing Fox, Wolf, Carmen, Usagi, Angelina, and Katz to cringe nearby, with the others joining in]
Angelina: Did you have to do that?
Chris: This week, you'll participate in three challenges. First up; EXTREME SOFA-BED SKYDIVING! [the campers look confused as he continues his explanation] Contestants will plummet-uhhhh, skydive onto a waiting sofa-bed target below.
[the side door of the plane slides open and Chef, dressed in military skydiving gear, looks down upon an unfolded sofa bed on the ground. A few springs poke out of the mattress, and Chef makes the short hop onto it. He lands on the sofa part, causing the mattress to forcefully retract in on him; Fox and Wolf wince at Chef's muffled screams]
Of course, you'll be skydiving from 5000 feet! And using these! [lifts a pair of ratty old parachute packs up to his window and threw them at the campers' feet] Our lucky contestants are…[pulls up a piece of paper from his pocket]...Robin and Top Cat!
Top Cat: With these things, how much am I being reassured surviving?
Robin: I mean, they wouldn't really try to kill us…would they?
Chris: Moving on; the second challenge of the day is, EXTREME RODEO MOOSE RIDING!
[the camera pans over to a rather annoyed-looking bull moose in a small pen]
Contestants will rodeo-ride the Great Canadian Bucking Moose for eight seconds, or, get hoofed into a giant pile of socks from the Lost and Found!
Katz: If that pile is musky, I will kill you, make no mistake.
Chris: It's your lucky day, Katz! Because Usagi is riding for the Gophers! And Fox, you'll ride for the Bass!
Usagi: [sweatdrops] Geeeeeeeeeeeh, why do I always get the short end of the stick?
Fox: Tell me about it…
Chris: And the final challenge; EXTREME SEADOO WATER SKIING!
[the scene cut to a large pool of mud in a clearing of the woods; on the left end is a checkered banner indicating the start and finish, while a pair of ramps and several colored flags are scattered about the middle. On the far shore is the large totem pole with tape-mounted cameras that had been featured in the initial shots of the camp in the very first episode. A flash transitions back to the campers]
Wolf: Um, yeah, last I checked, you need water to seadoo, and I know my vision ain't poor enough not to see any water over there.
Chris: I'm glad you brought that up since this isn't your normal seadoo. Check it out!
[the camera pans over to Chef, who water skis into view over a small cliff and onto the dry dirt. He screams as he bounces along the ground, only stopping when he slams head-first into a large rock face]
Carmen: [winces] Oh, that had to hurt.
Chris: Awesome! Rarity, you'll ski for the Screaming Gophers!
Rarity: [gulps] Seadoo, in all that mud…[sighs]
Chris: And Jasper for the Killer Bass! [finally puts his megaphone down]
Jasper: If it gets you to stop blowing our eardrums out, then so be it.
Chris: [pulls up the megaphone again] Now for the cool swag!
Jasper: [facepalms] Oh, for crying out loud.
Chris: Whoever scores the most challenges gets bragging rights for the night, saves their butts from elimination, and wins a tricked-out multi-massage mobile shower!
[the shot quick-pans over to a truck, the trailer of which is partially opened to show the shower facilities within. Chef sits smiling in front of the truck, playing a harp as the sparkling insides of the shower room are shown in a close-up. The following contestants slide up like in a rather toony anime style]
Angelina: Hoooooooo, clean facilities, it's been so long!
Rarity: Oh, my darling, where have been all this time?!
Usagi: Finally, someplace that isn't gross to be in!
Charlotte: Yay, a shower!
Jasper: Is that it? Just some extra privacy in some gleaming trailer? We already have a shower.
Katz: Yes, we have one of those. Which is extremely disgusting I might add. Believe me, this will be a welcome reward for all of us…well, the ones that happen to win the challenge.
Carmen: Pretty bold to assume right out of the gate, wouldn't you say?
Top Cat: All I'm saying is that I can't wait to take a shower in that thing.
Angelina: Clean, sleek floors with no stains.
Rarity: Fresh curtains without wear and tear.
Usagi: No flies or bugs to creep into the stalls.
Charlotte: We'll be clean, too.
Katz: Are you all quite done with our little sideshow?
Wolf: No, no, no, let me keep it going; "total privacy where no one can see me."
Robin: "Adequate supplies to support my needs."
Carmen: "Something that doesn't look thirty years old."
Fox: "Whatever they were just saying."
Katz: "Wow, I wish you would all grow brain cells."
Top Cat: Ayyye, you just did it.
Katz: Shut up.
Jasper: Are all you done playing school theater?
[the scene cuts to the plane's propeller starting up, and the campers getting blown back by the resulting wind]
Chris: Okay, gang! Chow for brekkie, then report back in twenty minutes for the EXTREME SPORTS CHALLENGE!
[a large cloud of dirt and dust is blown up as the plane took off, leaving the campers with a hacking cough]
[scene cuts to Top Cat and Fox sitting underneath a tree]
Top Cat: Sooooooo, what's your story with tall, grey, and handsome?
Fox: I guess this is a running thing whenever I talk with someone.
Top Cat: Weeeeeell, can you blame me when you two are the talk of the camp? I've seen the way you look at each other.
Fox: Yeah, we look at each other as teammates, nothing more.
Top Cat: Okay, if you say so.
Fox: Besides, I'm sure you're one to talk with the way you look at every guy here, feeling a bit lonely?
Top Cat: [clears throat] I don't know what you mean by that.
Fox: Really, cuz that sounded a bit like hesitation.
Wolf: What's this then, are we roasting the Gopher here? Shoulda invited me to join in.
Fox: Honestly, I'll give you this one, he's implying things over here.
Wolf: Is that so? Could it be something I might be aware of?
Top Cat: I think you've got a good idea of what that is, patches.
Wolf: Oh, I'm sure I do. [winks at the yellow feline]
[static buzzing]
Top Cat: Am I a bit of a casual flirt? Probably, but hey, I take pride it in, especially if it might help someone in hindsight.
[static buzzing]
Fox: Okay, I might be letting my guard down a little more around Wolf, but that doesn't mean I'm going that far with him, I mean, just look at us, how casual could we be?
[static buzzing]
Wolf: You know, I think I might have a bit of interest in that Top Cat, he seems to have that certain speech that I can vibe with; unapologetic asshole.
[static buzzing]
[the footage cuts back to a distance shot of the plane on the ground, with the two jumpers putting their gear on and the rest of their teams inspecting the sofa beds]
Chris: Now remember, ground teams can wheelie the sofa beds wherever they want in order to help their comrade with the landing.
Rarity: Don't worry, darling, I'm sure you'll be fine.
Angelina: Plus, with five of us, it shouldn't be too hard to push the couch.
Usagi: It's nice and soft for a bonus.
Charlotte: Yeah, so don't worry, kitty, we'll catch you on the way down!
Top Cat: I guess that's reassuring to an extent.
Katz: Additionally, if your chute doesn't open and you think you're gonna miss, try to roll as you land so you don't get hurt as badly.
Top Cat: Awww, you do care about me.
Katz: Do you want me to change my mind?
[the shot changes to a high-altitude view across what is implied to be the landscape surrounding the island, a mix of water and chunks of land. The sound of the engine heralds the plane's on-camera arrival, and the viewpoint shifts to get a head-on view of Robin and Top Cat as the side door of the plane slides open mid-flight]
Top Cat: Oooooooh my lord, that…that is high…
Robin: Cripes, this makes my escapades falling off castles look like child's play.
Chris: [leaning out of his seat and pointing to a stack of papers in his hand] If you could just sign these!
Top Cat: But we already signed insurance forms at the beginning of the show!
Chris: Yeah, but these are for organ donation! I have this cool cannibal challenge I wanna pitch to the producers, and this'll go a long way toward budgeting free props!
Robin: Okay, can I just say that's incredibly messed up?! Like, not even joking!
Chris: Suit yourself! By the way, the drop's coming up!
[Robin and Top cautiously look out over the island, and an aerial shot of Wawanakwa transitions the scene to down below. The camera pans down from the trees to reveal the four grounded members of the Killer Bass with Jasper pushing the couch with ease]
Carmen: I suppose it's lucky we had someone who knew their way around weight, otherwise this would have been merciless.
Jasper: Yeah, well, I've been doing this for ages now, this ain't nothing I couldn't handle, plus, it means I can move the couch wherever it needs to be.
[back in the air, the two guys are preparing to jump]
Robin: Well, I suppose it's now or never…[takes a deep breath and flings himself into the air]
Top Cat: Awww, man, I hope that was a good shot…
[the vulpine archer's descent is tracked by the camera, and with each passing moment his fear fades into adrenaline-based thrill]
Robin: Oh dear, fur on the fritz, spine tingling, endorphins rushing! I'm as free as a bird! [holds his arms out] Watch me fly!
Carmen: [looks up] He's coming in for a landing, get the couch into position!
[Jasper quickly extends the bed portion and pushes the couch right on the spot where her teammate appears to be falling. Robin lands squarely on the extended mattress with a sproing]
Robin: Phew, that was certainly an experience, mind you, I probably wouldn't try it again, to be on the safe side of things.
Wolf: I will say, you know how to fly with style and grace, aaaaaand a visible view of your undercarriage.
[scene cuts to back up in the air with Top Cat]
Top Cat: Okay, c'mon, TC, you and the gang have fallen from greata' heights than this, never came out with a scratch. [jumps out of the plane and does a few flips] Okay, pull the blue cord first, or maybe it's the red cord…[pulls on both cords one at a time to see the results…neither cord unveils the parachute]...or you'll just plummet to your doom…down there, HELP!
Usagi: GAH! Incoming this way! [pulls the couch in one direction]
Angelina: No, he's coming this way! [pushes the couch in another direction]
Katz: Excuse me, but would you two stop messing with the couch so the man above us doesn't land in the sand?
[the yellow feline is shown again, having somehow managed to deploy his parachute. With little control over his descent, he ends up nearly at the mercy of the wind as he sways back and forth]
Rarity: The trees! Watch out for the trees!
Katz: You're going to overshoot the couch, land on your side to reduce the impact!
Top Cat: I don't see how that's gonna work, but alright!
[after a few sways, Top Cat's path seems to stabilize and he manages to touch down. Too shaken to keep on his feet, he inadvertently follows Katz's advice by collapsing onto his side as the parachute drags him a few more feet]
Rarity: Oh, dear, is he alright?
Top Cat: [groans] At least I'm not a splotch on the pavement…
[Chris' plane flies over a few trees before circling around past the campers]
Chris: Gophers lose, Bass win! 1-0!
Top Cat: [dusts himself off] Okay, that sucked, but at least I'm still in one piece.
Charlotte: Oh, did it feel like when we were jumping off that high cliff?
Top Cat: I guess you could say something like that.
[static buzzing]
Top Cat: I ain't gonna kid, that was actually pretty tense up there.
[static buzzing]
[the footage skips ahead]
Chris: Okay cowpokes! Let's start the rodeo moose challenge!
Usagi: [gulps] Is it possible for someone else to take my place on that moose?
Chris: Nope, all selections are final.
Usagi: [sweatdrops] Aaaaaaaah, dang it.
Fox: Oh, this is not gonna be easy…
Wolf: Try not to think about it too much, just grip that sum bitch as tight as you can, then you should be able to hold on.
Fox: I suppose I'll have to take your word for it…oh, God…
Robin: I'm sure you'll do fine, ma' dear.
[Fox carefully lowers himself onto the large moose's back, and grabs a few tufts of hair around its neck]
Fox: Okay, I just sit here and-
[as he speaks, the moose's eyes are shown becoming narrow and angry. Chef reaches a trembling hand toward the latch on the pen gate, and as soon as it's lifted,the moose charges forward, rider in mid-sentence. Chef falls with a pained scream, and Fox clings to the animal's back as best he can while crying in alarm. The moose bucks once and fails to shake its rider, but loosened his grip enough for the second to send him flying; straight into the host, who has his eyes firmly on a stopwatch. The other Bass members cringe at the display]
Fox: [groans] That hurt…
Chris: Hey! You could've at least landed in the sock pile like you were supposed to!
[Wolf and Robin pick Fox up from the ground]
Robin: Are you alright, that was a nasty fall.
Fox: I think so…ooh, never doing that again.
Wolf: C'mon, that's enough rodeo for one day.
[the three pass Usagi who looks on with apprehension]
Chris: Usagi, you're up, let's see if you can do better than the trainwreck that just happened.
Usagi: Hehehe, I just remembered, I left the dryer on, maybe some other day will do fine.
Chris: Fine, but you do know that if you don't do it, you'll forfeit the point for your team, and then they might hate you.
Usagi: [groans] Okay, I'll do it, mmmmmmmmm, no fair at all.
[static buzzing]
Usagi: Gooooooh, I hate it when he uses blackmail, it always gets under my skin.
[static buzzing]
[a lilting tune plays behind a shot of a pink bird singing on a branch next to a very tired-looking squirrel. The squirrel looks over and goes to slap the bird, but it dodges and pecks the rodent off of the branch and resumes singing. Transition over, the camera pans down to show Usagi trembling on top of the moose, Chef standing ready at the gate]
Usagi: Oooooh, why does this always happen to me? Uhhhhh, nice moose, you'll be good for me, right? [pats the large animal's back]
[the moose does the opposite of what the girl says, his eyes going red and nostrils flaring]
Chef: Sweet mother of-[gets left in the dirt as the bull moose busts straight through the gate]
Usagi: YAAAAAAAAAAAAAH! SOMEONE STOP THIS CRAZY MOOSE!
Rarity: Usagi, just hang on, dear, if only for your safety!
Usagi: I'M NO SAFER ON THIS THING, NOW AM I?!
Charlotte: Here, moose! [whistles] Nice moose, over here! [whistles]
Angelina: What, don't direct it over here!
Charlotte: Maybe he'll calm down at the sight of a friendly face.
Rarity: Yeeeeeeeeah, I don't think that's going to work.
[the hectic background music is temporarily broken by a light classical piece as the marshmallow-loving bear from earlier in the episode is shown again, preparing to eat the food it has gathered]
Usagi: WAAAAAAAAH, CLEAR THE WAY, RUNAWAY MOOSE!
[the bear looks ahead and winces at the oncoming moose with Usagi still screaming in terror. The pigtailed girl is finally bucked off the furious animal and flings through the arm]
Carmen: Yep, she's coming in for a crash landing…
[Angelina, Rarity, and Charlotte look up and try to catch Usagi who falls on all of them, causing them to flop to the ground, the former two groan while the blue girl's eyes spin around]
Usagi: Gooooooooooh, I feel dizzy…
Chris: Huh, in spite of still being bucked off, Usagi lasted longer on the moose compared to Fox, so the Gophers win this round!
Angelina, Rarity, and Usagi: [half-heartedly] Hooray…
Charlotte: YIPPEE!
Carmen: Seems like there's a lot of falling involved today, is that part of the theme, Chris?
Chris: Unless it's on me, you could consider that.
Carmen: I only dread what's coming next…
[the footage skips ahead to a shot of a red all-terrain vehicle skidding to a halt]
Chris: Well, with that taken care, it looks like the teams are tied up! Whoever wins the EXTREME SEADOO WATER SKI CHALLENGE wins invincibility!
[the shot zooms out to show him and the campers around the predesignated mud pit]
Katz: Since the last few attempts haven't gone without a hitch, I will assume responsibility of driving for our team, unless there's any objections.
Angelina: I don't see why not, so you can do it.
Rarity: You know, I may not enjoy wallowing in the mud, but if it's for the team, I'll put up with it. Plus, who says I can't still look fabulous at the same time? [strikes a pose]
Wolf: I'll drive for the team, Jasper, we're counting on you for this one.
Jasper: Yeah, don't sweat it, I've been building up for this part all day. I imagine I should have it in the bag.
[the next scene shows Jasper on the skis and holding the tow rope. The camera pans over to Katz on the ramshackle seadoo]
Katz: Just to let you know, I won't be holding back on this journey.
Jasper: Hmph, bring it on, pussycat, I can take anything you throw.
Katz: We'll just see about that, won't we…?
Chris: Here's the road rules. Oh wait! There are no rules! Which means, this is gonna be awesome!
[the footage flashes ahead to the start of the challenge]
Chris: [with a wave of the flag] Aaaaand…GO!
[Katz narrows his eyes. He reves the engine and accelerates, try to make Jasper fall over; much to his irritation, the big gem is able to stay balanced with ease, though her legs get splattered with mud. The driver briefly looks back at his opponent before taking the seadoo over the first ramp; Jasper quickly bends down and picks up the flag standing at the end]
Loudspeaker: Flag One for the Bass!
[the Bass cheer on from the sidelines]
Katz: Can you handle some of this?!
[Katz swerves the vehicle to trip Jasper up, but it doesn't work as the gem holds on tightly and snags another flag from the mud]
Jasper: Is that the best you've got?!
[the footage skips ahead to show Jasper having caught more flags in her hand]
Loudspeaker: Four flags and counting! Katz will be disqualified if he doesn't cross the finish line, but when he does, Jasper will score all the flags she's gathered home for the Killer Bass!
[Katz grimaced, and the camera pans ahead first to one final flag, and then to the finish line]
[static buzzing]
Katz: I wasn't about to let that orange puff snag the win from my team, so I did what needed to be done.
[static buzzing]
Katz: [swings himself around to face backwards] Oh, Jasper, I believe this is the point where we depart! [extends out his nail to the rope]
Jasper: [gasps] Don't you dare, you little shit!
Katz: Oh, I would dare.
[the rope snaps and with nothing to keep her in place, Jasper skids across the mud, trying to stop before falling on her side on shore]
Jasper: OOF! Damn stupid cat!
Katz: Who says crime doesn't p-YAH!
[as a result of not paying attention, Katz hits the end of the line and flings off the seadoo, landing on his back]
Katz: OOF! Oooooooooooh…at least it's not too bad…
[Jasper punches into the mud hard enough to send a splatter in Katz's direction, causing the red feline to be sprayed]
Katz: BLEH! ACK! Disgusting! Mud, all over my fur! The absolute idiocy!
Carmen: What was the old saying; karma hits you when least expected?
[static buzzing]
Jasper: I know that little twig tried to trip me up, and cutting me off the rope, he'll be lucky if I spare his limbs.
[static buzzing]
[Some time later, Rarity and Wolf have taken their positions for the final challenge]
Wolf: Not afraid of getting your little dress dirty, are you, Miss High Maintenance?
Rarity: Flattery will get you nowhere with me.
Wolf: Lucky for you, I wasn't interested.
Chris: Ready! Set! Rrride it like it's sweeps week, Go!
[the engine reves, and the seadoo takes off. They quickly go over the first ramp, and Rarity snags the first flag, before splashing down into the mud]
Loudspeaker: Flag one!
[Rarity catches another flag]
Loudspeaker: Flag two!
[the footage skips ahead to show Rarity having caught most if not all the flags in her hand]
Rarity: What was that about worrying, Wolfie?
Wolf: Mmmm, you ain't seen nothin' yet, Rara.
[Wolf attempts to swerve around to knock Rarity off balance, but he miscalculates and ends up driving the seadoo on its side into the mud. Meanwhile, Rarity skids across the finish line]
Rarity: Finished in style, darlings!
Loudspeakers: Gophers win!
[the Gophers cheer at their victory and then look at their prize eagerly, the truck and trailer sparkling in the sunlight]
[static buzzing]
Rarity: And that, my dears, is how you finish a race in the mud.
[static buzzing]
Wolf: [as he picks himself up from the mud] Well, that sucked ass…
Fox: This whole day sucked ass…
Carmen: I suppose all that's left is elimination…oh, joy…
[the scene cuts back to outside the communal bathroom, the host walking into view from the right]
Chris: The Bass have been left out in the open, and must now decide who to leave behind, while the Gophers totally scored some much-needed showers.
[the camera pans left, showing Angelina, Rarity, Usagi, and Charlotte leaving the steaming shower truck in bathrobes and towels]
Top Cat: Looks like we're up, might wanna clean off that mud on you.
Katz: [sarcastically] Wow, thank you for reminding me…
[the Campfire Ceremony begins as it typically does, with the losing team seated on the stumps and the host in possession of a plate of marshmallows]
Chris: As you know, if you do not receive a marshmallow you will be forced to walk the Dock of Shame, and you can never, ever return to Camp.
[the camera passes over the largely tired Bass]
Chris: Robin and Fox, you're safe!
[the two vulpines smile at each other and go up to claim their prizes]
Carmen, same goes for you.
[the human woman grins as she walks up to collect her marshmallow]
Okay, that leaves Jasper who got tripped up by Katz…[Jasper scowls deeply]...and Wolf who failed to trip up Rarity.
Wolf: [pointedly] The girl was determined.
Chris: Which is why you're also safe.
Wolf: Ah, good. [walks up to collect his marshmallow]
Chris: Jasper, the vote has been decided, it's time for you to go.
Jasper: Yeah, yeah, whatever, I'm ready to get out of this dump.
[scene cuts to Jasper walking the Dock of Shame with Carmen accompanying her]
Carmen: You know, I'll give you this, you sure gave the stuck-up snob an opening he'll never forget.
Jasper: Hehe, yeah, I support that's something to leave off on…anyways, guess we'll be seeing each other on the flip side.
[the orange gem boards the boat and it sails off into the night, Carmen waving her off as she goes]
[static buzzing]
Carmen: Okay, so with Jasper gone, that leaves me as the only girl left on the team. But we'll just see how that works against or in my favor, now won't we?
[static buzzing]
