Towering Terrors- Carter, Deon, Laurie, Margaret, Maria, Rival 6/10

Ballistic Bellhops- Andrew, Liz, Phoebe, Regina, Sunny, Qwynn 6/10

The scene opens up on Chris, who is sitting in his chair, drinking a cup of coffee with his back facing the camera. Where is Hayley? We don't know, but at any rate, Chris turns around and gives the intro.

"Last time on Total Drama Hotel Madness, I was back and here and here to stay. In other non me related news, it was high noon, and it was a showdown for the ages." He snickered for a few seconds before continuing. "I'm just kidding, it was a disaster. Margaret lost some of her cool while Liz gained some of hers back while the teams had to deal with some goons who I totally didn't just find on the side of the road. In the end, Elizabeth and Andrew lost their only two chances to win as the Terrors swooped in and stole the win away from them, and it was Elizabeth getting the boot this time. What will happen this time? Will any girl look as good as Lindsay in a bikini? Find out on this episode of TOTAL…DRAMA…HOTEL MADNESS!

*Theme song plays*

The scene opens up on Phoebe, who is with Regina in the latter's room getting her nails painted by Regina.

"Are you sure that this'll work?"

"Of course I am," Regina says in a caring and gentle tone, "when ya look good, ya feel good, and when ya feel good, ya play good."

"Okay, that makes sense I guess."

"Oh by the way, Phoebe?"

"Yes?"

"I was wondering, how was it going with um," Regina pauses as she tries to find the right words, "...your little problem?"

"Well actually, it's gotten better. Libby has been less aggressive towards me, which is sorta weird, but good, I guess."

"That's great to hear." Regina says as she finished painting Phoebe's left index finger. "Have you been listening to my advice about trying to be more assertive?"

"Well, I believe I have been to an extent, but honestly, I could do better in that department, last challenge I didn't even take charge."

"Well, you should change that." Regina looks up. "When the opportunity arises, just take charge. I'm sure that ya can't go wrong, sweetheart."

"Hmmmmmmmm…" Phoebe thinks about it for a second. "I don't know. Are you really sure that it'll work?"

"Of course I am!" Regina hugs Phoebe.

"But what if something goes wrong and I end up getting blamed for it, and they vote me out? I don't want to let down my teammates!" Phoebe panics.

Regina's eyes widened. She pulls out of the hug to say "I'm sure that it'll be fine." She smiles, but Phoebe isn't buying it, so she continues "...in that case, if anything happens, I'll help you."

Phoebe wipes the tears from her face. "Really? You'd do that for me?"

"Of course, you can guarantee it!"

Confessional: Regina

She sighs. "I just hope I'm right. I mean, this has to get better, right?"

Confessional: Qwynn

"Ugh man," he rubs his forehead, "things did not go well for me last outing. I lost my closest ally and I don't know what I'm going to do now. Maybe if I could get one of the girls to agree to an alliance I can stay afloat, except for Liz, gotta avoid her."

Confessional over

Confessional: Liz

She rubs her hands together. "Things could not be going better for me. I got a potential alliance with Andrew, I got rid of Qwynn's only ally. Things are really looking up for me right now, so I think I'll sit back this time and let the chaos happen. However if an opportunity arises, I'll jump all over it.

Maria is sitting on her bed in her room. She checks the time on her clock in her room.

"Ugh, it's fifteen minutes to challenge time. She said that she would be here by now." A few seconds later, Hayley appears in front of Maria.

"Finally, you're here!"

"Yes, I am." She sits down next to Maria. "Sorry I'm late, but I had some business to take care of."

"Right. You have a show to run, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised by that."

Hayley continues. "Yes. Anyway, today is pretty simple, I just need you to collect some items for me." Hayley hands Maria a list, which she reads over.

As she does, Maria sees the names of everyone who is still left in the game, except for her of course. "Hmmmm, let's see. Phoebe's hat, one of Qwynn's rings, one of Margaret's stuffed animals, a guitar pick from Rival and Sunny, Andrew's phone? Hey, these are all personal belongings!" Maria blinks twice. "What is this for?"

"That is none of your concern. Now, there's going to be an ocean in today's challenge. While you're doing the first challenge, there's going to be a whirlpool somewhere while you're up. It'll be pretty obvious, you won't be able to miss it. I want you to drop whatever you have at the time inside that whirlpool and it'll go straight to me. Just make sure that you don't fall inside the whirlpool, got it?"

Maria gulps. "I've got it, but, but some of these belong to my teammates, and they're going to miss them, right? A…and they'll find out that I took them eventually, and then I'm going to get out!" Maria begins to hyperventilate, putting her hands on her head.

"Nonsense," Hayley replies in a soft spoken tone. "Didn't you forget? I can create anything I want as long as it exists. As soon as I get my hands on the items, I'll just make new ones. That's called plausible deniability. There's absolutely no way they'll find out. It's foolproof!"

"That…That actually makes a whole lot of sense. I'm saved!" Maria calms down.

"So you'll do it?"

"Yes."

"Good. Now before I go, you don't need to find every single thing on that list today, because this is going to be a gradual process, but I'll be okay as long as you get at least two or three of those items for me today. Got it?"

"Uh huh," Maria nods her head, "but what about when someone gets eliminated, huh? I'm not psychic. I can't know who to start off with first based on an elimination that hasn't happened yet."

"Oh in that case, you can cross them off the list, I'll take care of it. Now if you'll excuse me, I've got to get going." Hayley vanished in thin air, leaving Maria alone to her own thoughts when suddenly, she got a knock on her door.

"Who is it?"

"It's me." Rival answered.

"Coming." She gets the door. "Just act natural" she whispers to herself before opening the door.

"H…Hey there Maria." Rival says nervously.

"Hey can I borrow a guitar pick?" Maria says just as nervously without even thinking.

"I…uh, sure. I guess." Rival awkwardly gets one out of his pocket. "But um, what do you need it for?"

Maria just takes it from his hand and says in a rapid fire pace "Thanks, I love you, good bye" before closing the door. She lets out a big sigh. "Well that was nerve racking, but at least I can cross the first item off my list." She gets out a pen to cross it out when suddenly she sticks her head up. "Wait, did I just say that I love him?"

Confessional: Rival

He stares at the confessional camera with a suspicious look on his face. "Okay, I know that Maria has been acting strange lately, but that takes the cake. I've got to get to the bottom of it." He starts to exit the confessional when… "Wait, did she just say that she loves me?" He sighs. "Here I go again." He gets out his guitar, then proceeds to play it as he sings "Though I keep searching for an answer, I never seem to find what I'm looking for…"

Confessional: Carter

"Thanks to Andrew's suggestion about using a VPN, I've been able to use my computer without any interference. I even got a detailed layout of the hotel and there's this one floor that looks suspicious. There's this one floor that we skipped earlier on in the season that I'm picking up some strange readings from, so I think I'm going to check it out."

Confessional over

Carter pressed the button to the elevator when suddenly, Chef could be heard from around the corner.

"Oh man." He cracked his back. "That Olga girl is strong."

Carter's eyes widened. "Come on! Come on!" Carter whispered just as the elevator door opened. He's able to get on it and close the door without incident.

"Phew." Carter breathed a sigh of relief as he pressed the button to the sixth floor. After a few minutes of boring elevator music, the door opens to his destination. He steps out onto a dimly lit hallway.

"Hmm, it's awfully dark in here." He said as he traversed the floor. He turned a corner to a hallway full of doors.

"What are you hiding, Hayley?" He asks as he opens the first door to the left, where he finds…some boxes stacked on top of each other.

"Hmmm, let's see what's in here." He opens one of the boxes where he finds pieces of paper with notes on them about…himself?

"Huh, so it looks like she has been studying me." He reaches into the box where he finds some similar notes, only these ones are about Rival.

"Rival too?" He looks into the box again and finds notes about each one of the contestants plus the interns and Chris and Chef. Carter is dumbfounded at this finding.

"So she's taking notes on all of us? I wonder what they're for." Right after Carter says that, a shadowy figure closes in on him with the screen fading to black and the scene ending.

Confessional: Margaret

"Ugh, afta dat last challenge," she puts her hand on her forehead. "Let's just ferget dat last challenge. Anyways, taday I gotta reclaim my spot on da top. Can't let dese floosies walk all ova me. But at da same time if I get a chance ta impress ya know who den I might take it." She giggles, then slaps herself. "No, listen ya, ya've gotta stay focused, yagoddit?" She says to herself before pulling out her favorite blue walrus. "Sir Tuskerton is da only man I need in my life right now." She says before staring at the confessional camera. "What? Ya want a piece of me?" She says crazy eyed to the viewing audience. "Ya don't, don't ya? Yeah, ya can't handle me!" She says as she strokes Sir Tuskerton on the back.

Confessional: Laurie

She sits in the confessional with an excited but nervous look on her face. "Last challenge for me was great! I mean it sucks for Margaret, but…wait, why am I sad for her? I mean she's the one who's trying to steal my boyfriend! I don't need her…" She pauses before continuing "...but then again, I also don't need my head blown off, and Margaret, she still scares me." She starts panicking. "What if she sees these confessionals, huh? Sometimes she acts like some sort of criminal and she carries a gun around. Granted it's a fake gun but why would she feel the need to carry one unless…" she thinks for a second, then freaks the hell out. "That's it! She is a criminal!" Laurie takes some very heavy deep breaths. "I think…I need a minute…to process this." She says before finally falling over on her side, ending the confessional.

Confessional over

Confessional: Deon

"Hey, one more round or two and the perfect man may be out of the woods with this whole Margaret issue. I think her crush on me put her in a vulnerable position last time. Knowing her, she'll realize it and want to reclaim her position on top, right in time for the merge where it's everyone for themselves. Then she'll be so focused on winning that she won't have time to impress me. At least, that's what I…the perfect man is banking on. All I have to do is wait this out for the next few rounds then I'll be in the clear." He says confidently. "...at least I hope." He says not as confidently.

Sunny is laying down on her bed with her guitar trying to write a song. "Let's see here, what can I say?" She says before she hears a knock on her door. "Who is it?"

"It's me." Franchesco answers on the other side of the door.

"Franchesco?" Sunny puts down her guitar then excitedly goes to answer it. "It is you!" She hugs her. "So have you come back to stay here with me?"

He got down on one knee to meet her at face level. "No. Listen, about the last challenge. I was just a little nervous. I mean, this is the first time I've been without you since, well, since forever, and I guess I just, I don't know, I got a little aggressive, that's all."

"Really?" Sunny raises an eyebrow.

"Yes, and I promise I'll be on my best behavior today. Honestly."

"Hmmmmm…" a bead of sweat drips from Franchesco's forehead as Sunny rubs her chin. "...okay, I believe you."

"Good, now I gotta get going." Franchesco hugs Sunny. "Goodbye." He gets up and leaves, with Sunny watching him skeptically as he does so.

Confessional: Sunny

"I don't know if I can trust Franchesco. The way he just delivered his apology to me seemed kinda robotic, and that hug to me didn't feel sincere like it normally does when he usually apologizes to me. Something isn't quite right here but I can't quite put my finger on it just yet." As she says this, a hand reaches into her pocket from the closet next to her and pulls out a guitar pick then goes back into the closet.

Meanwhile, someone sneaks into Regina's room as Phoebe is leaving.

"Yeah well, thanks for the chat, and the new nails." As Phoebe says that, a hand tries to reach into Phoebe's hoodie pocket, but fails as she turns to open the door.

"You're welcome, and I promise to help in that challenge today."

"Yeah, thanks." Phoebe leaves the room.

"Okay now, let's see…" Maria surveys the room when she can't find what she's looking for "Hmmmmmm…maybe it's out of my viewing range" Maria looks at her list to make sure it says "Regina's sewing supplies" which it does. Maria waited patiently for Regina to get up and do something.

"Now, I'd better go freshen up for the challenge." Regina heads to the bathroom.

"Phew." Maria takes this opportunity to get out from under the table. She looks at the table that she was just under, and there she finds it, whispering "I think I'll just take a spool of thread" which she does, then she turns to see Phoebe's hat on top of Regina's dresser. "Ooh," she says quietly, "that's one of the items on the list. She then checks again to confirm it, then starts to go for it when…

"Challenge time!" Chef comes rambling through the hallway with his bullhorn.

Maria gasps, then immediately goes back under the table, but not before knocking the hat off the dresser and right next to Regina's purse, which was on the table to the left of the dresser.

"Coming!" Regina says as she gets out of the bathroom. She grabs her purse. She sees the hat that was next to her purse. "Hmmm, that wasn't there before." She gets suspicious. "Also, I could've sworn I heard something."

At this, Maria holds her breath.

"Maybe it would be a good idea to take it with me, just for safe keeping." She stashed it in her purse then left out the door. This prompts Maria to get out and look at where the hat was.

"Shoot, I almost had it!"

/

At the elevator, everyone is surprised to see someone already there.

"Carter?" Chris remarks, "what are you doing here?"

Carter rubs his head. "I'll be honest, I don't know. I'm not really sure how I got here."

"Well get up child, it's challenge time." Chef yells.

"Oh yeah, right." Carter grabbed his computer and got up, allowing everyone in.

"Now," Chris addresses the contestants, "you kiddos have been working hard, so today, why don't you take a little break."

"Seriously?" Qwynn raises an eyebrow.

"Yes, seriously. In fact, let's have a beach day!" The elevator door opens up to a beautiful beach.

This only causes even more eyebrows to be raised.

"I feel like there's an angle here." Liz says very skeptically.

"Yeah," Carter pokes the sand with his finger, "there's definitely something fishy going on here."

"There's nothing fishy," Chris holds back some laughter, "except for the ones in the ocean."

"Yeah, not buying it." Liz shakes her head, but just then…

"Cannonball!" Andrew is the first one to rush out onto the beach. When he makes it about halfway to the ocean, a mound of sand starts to form right in front of him, with it taking on the form of a monster with big eyes and scary fangs.

"Gwarrrrrrrrrrrr!" The beast made of sand growls at him.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Andrew turns around and runs back to the elevator.

When Andrew makes it back to the elevator, Chris and Chef can be seen laughing at him as most of the contestants are scared out of their minds.

Chris wipes some tears from his face, then announces "Contestants, get in your bathing suits and get ready for the next challenge."

After a quick transition, everyone is in their swimsuits and standing on the sand, next to the elevator.

"S…So like, how are we going to do this with that thing out there?" A shivering Laurie spoke up.

"Don't worry about it dudes and dudettes," the host answers her, "it listens to me so we're safe as long as I'm here, and I say no attacking the contestants, at least not right now."

"Yeah, that's really comforting." Carter says sarcastically.

"Anywho," Chris says as he walks everyone to the ocean, "your first challenge for today is a simple surf off!"

Confessional: Carter

"Greaaaaaaaaat, it's something I'm not good at, athletics. I've been dreading the athletic challenges. At least I've come prepared." He pulls some suction cuffs out of his trunks. "These are going on my feet, so that at least I won't fall off the board."

Confessional over

"First off, the rules. Each contestant must go over there and surf. No one has do overs and each team has a maximum score of one hundred and eighty."

"Wait," Liz does some quick math. "Doesn't that mean that there should be three judges?"

"Correctamundo my dear Liz, you will each be judged by mwah, Chef, and Franchesco!"

Franchesco walks into the frame as soon as his name is called. "Hi!" He says robotically as he waves to everyone.

"Hey Franny!" Sunny greets him with feigned enthusiasm. The bodyguard smiled and just waved back at her.

Confessional: Sunny

"Yeah I'm just not buying Franchesco's act here. He should've given me at least a "Hey Sunny" or something like that."

Confessional over

"Oh and," Chris continues, "Sunny and Andrew, your penalty for the day is…being handcuffed together!" Right after he says that, a pair of handcuffs appear on Sunny's left hand and Andrew's right.

Confessional: Sunny

The idol, who was wearing a full body, white and yellow swimsuit sighed. "Greaaaaaaat," she said as she exhaled, "and just when I thought that things couldn't get any more awkward between us!"

"You know I can hear you, right?" Andrew said, as he was standing right next to her.

Confessional over

Confessional: Andrew

Wearing black trunks and a plain white shirt, he said "Yeah, I've gotta agree with Sunny, this is going to be very awkward, but at least this is my last penalty, so let's just get this over with."

The three judges were now sitting at a table. Next to Chris and Chef were two hats, one blue and one red.

"Okay," Chris announced, "Chef and I will be picking out who goes next, and the first person to go for the Terrors is…" Chris says as he reaches into the blue hat. "...Rival!"

Rival, who was wearing black trunks with white gloves, sighs. "Of course it is."

Maria grabs his hand and says "Don't worry, you can do it. I believe in you!"

"Thanks, and I guess you're right." He goes to grab a board. "Whelp, time to make a fool of myself, I guess."

"Just get in the water already!" Chris shouts at him.

"Oh yeah, right." He gets in the water and waits for the first wave he sees.

"Alright, here goes nothing, except maybe my dignity."

Rival begins his attempt when suddenly a giant hand made of water reaches out and grabs him.

"What is happening?" Rival said as the hand dragged him down into the water. Cuts to the shore, where Rival crawled out of the water.

"That wave really rocked me all night long!" The guitarist says before collapsing.

"Is he alright?" Maria, who was wearing a two piece purple bikini, rushed over to check on him.

Chris turned to Chef and Franchesco. "So, what do you guys think?"

"Good start, but he wiped out." Chef responded. "I can't go higher than a two."

"Yeah, same for me." Chris held up his card, which was a two. Franhcesco gave Rival a one without saying anything.

Terrors: 5

Confessional: Carter

He has his hands on his forehead as he is visibly disappointed. "Of course it has to be a wave that fights you back, I mean this is Chris we're talking about. Oh well." He sighs. "I'll just observe the others and learn from their mistakes so that I don't do the same when it's my turn to go."

Confessional over

Meanwhile, Maria gave Rival mouth to mouth. "Come on, wake up!" She said in between giving him chest compressions.

Rival coughs, then sits up and takes a few deep breaths before saying "Who? What? Where am I?" Before his memory comes back. "Oh yeah, that's right, I'm on a reality show.

Maria giggles. "Glad to have you back!"

/

"Moving on," Chef says as he pulls a name out of the red hat. "Short girl with the black hair, you're up next!" Chef announced.

"Who, me?" Liz, who is wearing a blue and silver striped two piece bikini, points at herself.

"Yes!" Chef yells. "Now ten hut soldier, move move move!"

"Whatever." Liz just grabs a surfboard and gets in the water.

"Begin!" Right after Chris yelled that out, a wave started to form.

Liz approaches it confidently. She dodged the first hand that tried to stop her, but a second hand made of water came at her in full force. She jumped over that but a shark made of water came hurling towards her. She pulled out one of her bombs and threw it at it, but it has no effect, seeing as it is water, so Liz wiped out pretty easily, with her getting washed up on the shore, with Margaret chuckling at her.

"Well that was better," Chris admitted, "but I can't go higher than a four."

"I'll say three." Chef held up his card.

"I'll also say three." Franchesco holds up his card.

Bellhops: 10

"Haha," Margaret, who is wearing her same black two piece bikini from before laughs at Liz. "Ya wiped out!"

"Oh yeah?" Liz gets up and stomps over to Margaret. "Well I'd like to see you do better!"

"And the next unlucky victim is…Margaret!" Chris announced as he pulled her name out of the hat.

Margaret smirked at Liz confidently. "Oh yeah, well I will!" She says as she grabbed a surfboard and headed out onto the water.

Confessional: Margaret

"Am I worried about da ways? Of course I'm not, I'll swim through it if I have ta! I'll show dat girl from da otha team!"

Confessional over

"Begin!" Chris watches as the third wave starts to take shape.

Margaret swims up to the wave until she's able to get on her feet. She sees the first hand and jumps over it, then comes the second hand which she narrowly avoids. The shark dived at her to her right, she inhaled then swam right through it. She then took out three stuffed animals and started juggling them as she finished off her attempt. Margaret then stuck her tongue out at Liz as she went back to her team's side.

"Show off!" Liz yelled at her.

"Well," Chris stroked his chin, "that was the best attempt we've had so far. I say an eight."

"Seven." Chef grumbled.

Yeah, I'll say seven." Franchesco spoke. "She could've done more, but she was the first one to not get wiped out."

Terrors: 27

Confessional: Margaret

"Ha, I knew I'd show dat loser! Now…" she takes out the same three stuffed animals that she just juggled. "Are ya babies alright? Did momma hurt ya with dat dangerous stunt, huh?"

Confessional: Deon

The wrestler smiled confidently before saying "See, I…I mean the perfect man knew that Margaret would be more focused on the challenge. There's nothing to be afraid of because in the end, the perfect man always gets what he wants." His smile starts to sag a little bit. "... right? Deon slaps himself. "Stop that! Everything will be fine, just relax!" He yells at the camera.

"Next fool is…the girl that's handcuffed to the fat kid!" Chef pointed at Sunny.

"Seriously?"

"That's what this slip of paper says now move out!" Chef yelled at her.

Cuts to Sunny out on the surfboard with Andrew by her side.

"This probably isn't going to end well." Andrew said pessimistically.

"All I need you to do is work with me here." Sunny responded.

Andrew sighed. "Fine."

"Here comes the wave." Sunny said as they got closer.

"Oh crud." Andrew started to get nervous.

Sunny sighed, but she continued on with her attempt. This time, two tiger-like claws made of water swiped at them.

"Ah!" Andrew covered his face in fear.

"Okay, I will admit I wasn't prepared for that, but can I have my arm back?"

"Oh yeah, right." Andrew puts his arm down. "Sorry." He chuckled nervously, to which Sunny rolled her eyes.

"Just don't do that again."

"Watch out!" Andrew points in front of Sunny.

"Watch out for whaaaa…" Sunny watches in horror as a water sword easily wipes both of them out.

Cuts to the judges each holding up their cards, each bearing the number two.

"Seriously?" An annoyed and wet Sunny, who was dragging an equally wet Andrew said as she passed by Franchesco.

"What? I'm supposed to remain impartial" he responded to her.

Sunny growls at him, this causes Franchesco to jump and give her a three instead.

Bellhops: 17

Confessional: Sunny

She sits in there annoyed, with her arms folded as she says "Okay, that's the third weird thing that he's done today. The Franchesco I know would've at least given me a five."

"Are you sure it isn't because Hayley or somebody told him to be on good behavior?" Andrew said, as he was standing right next to her. "I mean, that seems like a pretty arbitrary thing to point out."

Sunny turned to him and said "You don't know him like I do. Franchesco is always there for me, and he supports me as much as my father does, so for him to not give me a higher score than I deserve is just plain off to me, you know?"

"Up next for the Terrors is…Laurie!" Chris said as he pulled her name out of the hat.

"Well, this should go well considering that I've never surfed a day in my life." Laurie said sarcastically.

"You'll do great." Deon encouraged her by whispering in her ear.

"But what if I mess up?"

"Look, if things go bad, just look at me." He told her.

"Alright." She took a few deep breaths before grabbing a surfboard.

Laurie got on her board and just started paddling until she saw the wave come up. "Okay, here goes nothing" she said as she got on her feet. Laurie closed her eyes as she made some quick acrobatic moves to avoid the tiger claws, with her doing a quick handstand after the first one then getting back on her feet after the second. "Huh?" She said after opening her eyes. She quickly glanced over at Deon, who gave her two thumbs up, before turning her attention back to the wave. However, the water sword slashed her board in half. "Whoa, whoa!" Laurie said as she lost her balance, but seeing that the other half of the board was still near her, she put her foot down on it. Laurie made it work as she did some flips and even a few wrestling moves as she finished off her attempt, although she did eventually lose her balance as she face planted on the shore. "I did it!" She celebrated as she got back up.

Chris turned to his counterparts and said "Well, that was easily the best one we've seen all day. I'll give Laurie a nine. How about you guys?"

"Eh, eight." Chef responded. "She didn't stick the landing, but otherwise she did alright."

"Yeah, I agree with what Chef said. I'll give it a nine." Franchesco said.

Terrors: 53

"Yes!" Laurie jumped in the air.

"Next up for the red team whose name I can't be bothered to remember is…you," Chef points at Regina, who was doing her makeup. "The rich girl who reminds me of Leshawa!"

Regina, who was wearing a pink two piece bikini stopped doing her makeup and looked up. "Oop, looks like I'm up!" Regina turns to Phoebe, who is wearing a white tee shirt with black trunks. "Here, hold my regular purse while I'm gone. Wouldn't want my stuff to get wet." She hands the purse to Phoebe and grabs the one that was full of rocks, which was on the ground right next to her.

"Okay, I'll make sure that nothing happens to it!" Phoebe waves at Regina as she leaves before sitting down with the purse. Looking down at the contents, she gasps.

Wearing neon purple and black swim trunks, Qwynn asks "What's wrong Phoebe?" As he was sitting right next to her.

"Oh, nothing." She said nervously, as she was sweating.

"Alright, fine."

Phoebe then scooted away from the writer.

Confessional: Qwynn

"Yeah, I'm not that stupid. I know that something is going on. I write out a lot of scenes where a character gets nervous, so trust me when I say that I know the signs. I'm definitely going to keep a close eye on Phoebe, knowing everything that I know about her now."

Confessional over

Qwynn pretended to write something down in his notebook while he discreetly watched the scene play out with Phoebe.

"Oh no. No no no no no no no." She whispered to herself. "It can't be." She looked down at the hat, which was right there for the taking. Suddenly, her left hand reached down into her hoodie pocket and pulled out a pack of gum. "No!" Phoebe whispered desperately.

"Yes!" Libby responds before forcing a piece of gum into her mouth, but before she can do anything, Qwynn steps in and wrestles the purse away from her.

"No, I'm not letting you go down that path again!" He yells at her.

"Give me that," Libby pulled back. "Regina trusted me with the purse!"

"Yes, but I don't trust you with the purse!" The two continue their tug of war battle until Libby gets an idea.

"Hey look, the sand monster is on the loose!"

"Huh?" Qwynn looks away, giving Libby enough time to wrestle it away and run off with the purse. Qwynn looks back, then sighs.

Confessional: Libby

She is standing up triumphantly in the confessional. "Reports of my demise have been greatly exaggerated." She chuckles. "Why do you think I was standing in the background and letting her get close to Regina? Because I was waiting for the right opportunity to get my control back, that's why! I saw the hat on top of her dresser earlier today and I was waiting for Regina to go to the bathroom, but she never did, but then she stupidly put it in her purse! I couldn't believe my luck, so of course I jumped on that opportunity!" She cackled evily.

Confessional over

Confessional: Qwynn

He had a rather serious look on his face as he said "Oh, it's on now!" He balled up his left fist. "I am going to do everything in my power to stop her, and get that hat back." He points at the camera. "Just you watch! I messed up before but I'm not doing it again. Not this time!" He huffed. "I may have made some mistakes in the past, but I'm going to do my best to make up for at least one of them. I may have lost Tyson but I am not losing Phoebe."

Meanwhile, Regina did her attempt. "Okay, you can do this!" She psyched herself up as she gets closer to the wave. This time, a set of five giant pendulums made of water come swinging at her, but she bats at them with her purse. "Uh uh, not today!" She says right before several crocodiles come at her, which she also beats with her purse. She then proceeds to spin her purse around on her arms. She threw it up mid air and caught it as she ended her turn.

"That was okay, but she could've done better." Chris said. I'll go with a seven."

Chef huffed. "Could've done better is right, I'll give her points for making it through, but that's a six in my book."

"I'll say si…" Franchesco glanced over at an annoyed Sunny, then changed his mind. "... seven." Sunny rolled her eyes.

Bellhops: 37

Libby sees Regina as she made it back to her team, so she took the hat off momentarily as Regina turned to her.

"Hey, can I have my purse back now?"

"Sure." Libby gives Regina her purse back, then turns to Qwynn and winks.

Confessional: Qwynn

"As much as I want to say something, I can't as long as there are others there, not without causing a scene, and I'm on thin ice as it is thanks to the Tyson incident. As much as I blame Regina for not destroying that hat in the first place, there's nothing I can do about it right now, not without putting a target on my back, and she knows that, and it just ugh, it really annoys me!"

"Our next victim is…" Chris reached into the hat. "Deon!"

"Looks like it's time for the perfect man to show off his perfect surfing skills." Wearing just a pair of red swimming trunks, he flexed, before looking over at Laurie, who gave him a look of disapproval, so he stopped immediately.

Cuts to Deon out on the waves where he is showing off already, doing some flexes and punching the air. He easily punched through the two water rhinoceroses that came barreling toward him. Then he kicked the two giant maces made of water out of the way. He then finished up by showing off by flexing, making Margaret swoon and Laurie facepalm herself.

Confessional: Laurie

She sighs. "If that doesn't get Margaret even more interested in him, I don't know what will! I love Deon, but he might as well have hung a sign around his neck that says that says "Hello, I'm a hunk!" I mean not that I don't like it or anything, but I just don't want Margaret to rip my head off!"

Confessional: Margaret

She takes a few deep breaths. "Oh my, he looked so dreamy out there!" She then stared at the camera with a serious look on her face. "What? My part of da challenge is done, so I can swoon if I want. Shaddup!"

Confessional: Deon

"Maybe I overdid it just a tiny bit."

"Now that was the best one yet. I'm gonna say nine."

"Eh, eight." Chef said.

"I'll go with a ni…eight. I'll go with an eight." Franchesco said as a suspicious Sunny watched him.

Terrors: 78

Chef reached into the red hat. "Next up is…the blue haired girl." He pointed at Phoebe, who is currently not wearing her hat.

Confessional: Phoebe

"Oh this oughtta be fun." She said sarcastically, with a hint of dread. "Considering I haven't ever surfed before in my entire life." She gulps, then starts coughing before beating on her chest a couple of times, at which point, she stops. "Whoops, almost went down the wrong pipe." She hacks one more time before the confessional ends.

Cuts to Phoebe on her surfboard. "Whelp, here goes nothing." She blows a bubble as she prepares for her ascent.

"Oh come on, let me do it!" Libby shouts.

"No." Phoebe tried to fight back.

"Fine." Libby takes control and grabs the hat anyway then puts it on her head.

As a whale made of water got in front of her, Libby did something that Phoebe would never do. She jumped into its mouth, then came flying out of the blowhole before landing back on her surfboard. She then dodged repeatedly as two water ninjas attacked her. She then finished up by doing some backflips, making sure she didn't fall off the board. As to make sure that Regina didn't catch her with the hat, she took it off before she made it back to shore, where the judges each clapped for her.

"Well," Chris turned to the other two. "That was quite the acrobatic finish. I think we've got our first perfect score of the day. What do you dudes think?"

"I'll give her a ten." Chef said before turning to Franchesco. "How about you?"

Franchesco smiled, seeing this as the perfect opportunity to try to get Sunny off his tracks, he obviously said "I agree, that's a ten!"

Bellhops: 67

Confessional: Qwynn

He sits, arms folded in the confessional. "Okay, there's no doubt in my mind that it was Libby. Phoebe has never shown me that she's athletic enough to pull off something like that. Color me skeptical."

Confessional: Carter

"As much as I'm dreading this challenge, I don't want to go last. Imagine if I blow it for my team? So far, the only one on my team that's gotten a bad score was Rival, and that was because he wasn't prepared for the water to attack him. It would be easier for me to get Maria out if she gets a bad score and we lose, because the last is always the most memorable for everyone else and the one with the most pressure.

Confessional over

"And the second to last person for the Terrors is…" Chris reached into the blue hat for the final time. "...Carter!"

"Phew." Carter breathed a sigh of great relief.

Cuts to Carter on his surfboard, suction cuffs on.

"I know that others have swam and jumped through the obstacles, but there's no way I could ever pull something like that off, so I'd rather insure that I stay on the board, and try for a score of about twenty" he explained to the camera as he got closer to the wave.

Carter made it to the top of the wave, where he was met by a giant water golem.

"Need to time this just right…" Carter goes right through the golem's legs.

"Phew," he wiped the sweat off his forehead. "Now for round two." Round two swiftly came, as some water torpedoes wiped him out. However, thanks to his suction cuffs, he resurfaces.

"Wait, what?" He looks down. "Oh I see, the board can't sink, and since I'm connected to the board, I can't sink." He then looks out at the crowd in front of him, and realizes "Oh yeah, I need to do something flashy to finish it off. Well, here goes nothing." Carter tried to do his best dance moves, but that was about it as he finished off his turn.

Chris blinked twice. "Well, that was unorthodox. I don't know what to think, but I can't go higher than a six."

"Yeah, I'm surprised he got back up after that wipeout. I'll give it a five."

Franchesco scratched his head. "I don't know what to think of it, but five." He said as Sunny was still watching him like a hawk.

Terrors: 94

Confessional: Carter

"Eh, that's not quite what I was hoping for, but at least I still didn't get the lowest score of my team, so I'm not going to complain about it."

Confessional: Andrew

He looks rather nervous as he says "I really hope I'm not last, I don't think I could handle that type of pressure. Hold me!" He grabs onto Sunny, who's still right next to him.

She sighs, and tells him "there there," and pats him on the back, "it'll be okay." She says as she looks bored, as if she'd rather be somewhere else.

Confessional over

"Next for the red team is…the writer kid, or whatever." Chef announced without a care in the world. This made Andrew want to bury his head in the sand, so he did as he pulled Sunny's arm down with him.

"Ugh," Qwynn put his hand over his forehead as he really did not want to do this. "Well, it was going to be my turn eventually."

Cuts to Qwynn on the surfboard. "Okay, you can do this, despite the fact that you have the strength of a couch potato, and the surfing skills of a farmer from the midwest." Qwynn gulps as he gets closer to the wave.

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" Qwynn screams as he gets attacked by the water golem. It just barely misses him with its club, but this causes Qwynn's surfboard to skip up and down in the air. This also causes him to dodge the torpedoes that come his way. Still screaming, his board does a few 360 flips then starts spinning counter clockwise all the way to the shore.

"Wait, I survived?" Qwynn asks, as he's paralyzed in fear.

"Wow, I don't know what to say, it was that amazing. Do I hear a second consecutive perfect score for the Bellhops?" Chris spoke.

"Sure, let's pretend he did that on purpose." Chef sneered.

"I um, Yes." Franchesco just said.

"Then it's official, the Bellhops have stormed back to take the lead!"

Bellhops: 97

Confessional: Qwynn

"I don't know how I did that, but thank goodness I'm okay!" Qwynn then proceeds to kiss the ground.

"Everyone else for the Terrors has gone already," Chris states, "so that means Maria, you're up!"

Cuts to Maria on a surfboard. She has the items that she stole earlier hidden away in her bikini top. "Okay, now I just need to find that whirlpool that Hayley told me about" she says, not being concerned with the challenge one bit.

She gets up on the wave. As she reaches the top, a gigantic water cerberus attacks her. She goes underneath its legs. As she does, she sees the whirlpool that Hayley talked about, right there, behind the wave and out of view of everyone else.

"There it is, now I just need to drop these in there." She reaches for the items in her bikini top, but thread from Regina's spool gets tangled in one of the guitar picks, which catches on her swimsuit. "Ah!" She tries to unhook the pick, but she falls into the whirlpool instead. She screams until she reaches a secret room where Hayley is conducting some business with some test tubes.

"What are you doing here?" Hayley asked without turning around. "I told you to not fall in!"

"I'm sorry, but some of the things got stuck." Maria tells Hayley the truth.

Hayley sighs. "Well, humans are humans, and they make mistakes. Good thing I planned for this eventuality."

Just then, a bright light appears. After this, we find Maria back on her surfboard, now with the items missing. That is assured after Maria looks into her bikini top.

"Well, now that I don't have that to worry about anymore, I'd better finish out this challenge."

This time, Maria pretended she had a ball in her hand.

"You want it?" She says as she gets its attention. "Go get it!" She throws it for the cerberus, and it promptly runs away. After that, a water airplane comes barreling toward her, the resulting crash sends her up in the air. She then does some skips like Qwynn did, only hers were intentional. She finished by flipping up into the air.

"Well, I can see someone was inspired by our last challenger. I've got to knock a few points off for creativity, so I'll go with a seven. What do you guys think?"

"Eh, six."

"Ei…Seven."

Terrors: 114

/

"And that means that the Bellhops need a score of at least eighteen to beat the Terrors. Andrew, you're up!"

Andrew fainted, taking Sunny down with him.

"Hey!"

Confessional: Sunny

She is visibly angry, with her arms folded as she yells "You didn't have to do that" at Andrew.

"Look, I'm sorry, okay. Let's just get this over with."

"Agreed. Let's go."

Confessional over

This time, Andrew is leading the way on the surfboard with Sunny standing behind him.

"I don't know if I can do this!" Andrew panicked to Sunny.

"All you have to do is believe in yourself" she replied back.

"Easy for you to say, I've never surfed a day in my life!" Andrew said as they started to get closer to the wave.

"Look, just calm down."

"Calm down? But I'm the last person to do this run, imagine the obstacles that I get!" He starts to hyperventilate.

Sunny slaps him on the left cheek. "Snap out of it! This is just like Sailor America episode 118 where Kira Queen Daizan no Bakudan Bait Za Dasto Frieza no broda Ochako Kazuma Boku Tohru Chisa Haru Momiji Nakamura Shigure Hanzo Hatori Sayori Misaka Miku learned how to surf. You can do this, just like they did."

Andrew takes a few deep breaths before saying "Oh you're right, I totally forgot about that episode."

"And you call yourself a Sailor America fan!" Says the biggest Sailor America fan ever to the other anime fan.

Andrew just ignores her comment and continues on to the wave where he is met by a gigantic water kraken.

"Oh crap." Andrew wets himself as one of the tentacles attacks him.

"Just glide off the tentacles." Sunny guides him.

"And how am I supposed to do that?"

Sunny sighed, then kissed him.

"Wait, did you just kiss me?"

"Yes, just hurry up!" She says in a rushed tone.

This causes Andrew to get the strength of ten men, and he easily avoids the tentacles. Water tanks attack him, but he jumped, and runs on top of it, taking Sunny with him before he gets back onto the board. He then picked her up and tosses her up into the air before catching her, posing as he finishes up his turn.

"Tada!" He says as he reaches the shore.

"Well, that was pretty good. I'll give it an eight." Chris said.

"Eh, seven." Chef shrugged.

Franchesco held his thumbs up. "I'll give it a ten!"

Bellhops: 122

Confessional: Andrew

"As great as it felt to get my first kiss, things still feel kinda awkward when I'm around you."

"Agreed. I only did it to help you in the challenge. Things are still a little…blurry between you and I."

"What is it this time?" Laurie asks.

"Yeah, and what do we get for winning the first challenge?" Liz asked Chris before turning to Margaret. "Oh yeah, by the way, we won and you lost!" Liz taunts her.

"Yeah, and it was no thanks ta ya!" Margaret fires back at Liz.

"Why you…"

"Girls, girls, please." Chris stepped in to break up the fight. "You'll be needing these."

On a forklift, Chef supplies the Bellhops with dozens upon dozens of plastic cups.

"What are these for?" Qwynn scratches his head.

"You'll figure it out soon enough. Terrors, you guys only get one each."

Franchesco handed out one plastic solo cup to each member of the Terrors.

"Now as for your challenge, you remember that giant sand monster from the beginning?"

"How could I forget?" Andrew spouted out. "That thing scared the crap out of me!"

"Whelp, your challenge is to defeat it, right after we get out of the way." Chris, Chef, and Franchesco all run offscreen.

"Good luck Sunny!" Franchesco says as he passed by her.

After the co hosts and the one intern are a good distance away, the towering sand monster re-emerges.

"Roooooooooooaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrrrrrrr!" The beast howls at them.

"Run!" Andrew shouts as everyone does in deed run away.

A montage of the monster chasing everyone down insues.

Montage

Andrew tried to hide himself and Sunny under a beach towel, but the monster popped its head out just under the towel, where it then growled, scaring the living daylights out of Andrew, causing him to run down the beast's body, taking Sunny along with him.

Margaret tried to scare it away with her gun, but this had no effect, so she just runs away.

Deon and Laurie try to throw umbrellas, beach balls, and whatever else they can find at it, but everything just gets absorbed into its body. After a few seconds, the creature just gets bored and goes back to chasing them.

Regina tries hitting it with her purse, but again this has no effect.

Qwynn climbs up on to its face and attempts to knock it out with the knock out gas from one of his rings, but this just makes the monster sneeze.

Maria plays against the monster in a game of cards. She wins, causing the monster to get upset and chase her.

Rival tries telling it a joke, but this just infuriates the monster, who then growls at him.

Liz tries throwing her bombs at it, but again, this has no effect, as they just get absorbed.

Phoebe gets in front of the monster but doesn't know what to do, so she put on her hat. Libby insults the beast, causing it to get angry and chase after her.

Carter tried hacking into the beast, but he just turns it blue, then red, then technicolor, then orange with purple stripes, then yellow with pink polkadots, before turning it back to its original sandy brown color. It then roars at him, causing Carter to get up and leave.

After a while, the Bellhops found refuge in a cave.

"Okay, is everyone here?" Liz asks the group.

Andrew and Sunny both raised their hands.

"Here." As does Qwynn.

"Present." Phoebe says.

"I'm…here…too." Regina says in between pants.

"Okay, good. Does anyone have any ideas to beat Mar…I mean get rid of that thing?"

Qwynn rolls his eyes as he says "It's nice to know that you're focused" to Liz, who just ignores his comment.

"Yeah, I've got nothing." Andrew sighs. "That thing is unbeatable."

Regina taps Phoebe on the shoulder. "Here's your chance" she whispers in her ear.

"But I don't know what to say or do." Phoebe whispered back.

"Just remember what I said, just take charge and you can't go wrong."

"Um, okay." Phoebe steps up and awkwardly clears her throat before saying "Um, I have an idea."

"Go on." Andrew tells her amid the awkward silence.

Phoebe just stood there for a second before she finally just says "What if we hit it with a rock?"

"It'll just get absorbed into its body." Liz answered. "Trust me, I know."

"Um…I meant like a big rock." She looks around. "I mean, we are in a cave after all."

"Hmmm," Qwynn thinks. "That could actually work."

"Yeah, but we'd need to find a big enough rock." Sunny chimes in.

"Well, I haven't got anything better." Liz admits.

"You mean, you actually…" Phoebe pauses, "like my idea?"

"Sure." Andrew says. "I mean, we don't have any other ideas."

Regina gives Phoebe a thumbs up, who smiles as the rest of the team talks.

Meanwhile, the Terrors were discussing things in a boat house.

"Did we lose dat thing?" Margaret asks Deon, who is closest to the door.

Deon opens the door and glances outside, then reports back to Margaret "I think so. I don't see it out there."

"Good. Now, we need ta get dat thing in some concrete shoes. Does anyone have any ideas?"

"We can't throw anything at it," Laurie informed the group, "because it'll just get absorbed into its body."

"Hmmmmm…" Rival thinks. "What if we threw something that it couldn't absorb at it?"

Margaret gives him a strange look. "Like what?"

"Like sound. I mean, I have my guitar."

"That's a great idea." Maria says.

"Yeah, but we'd need a big enough amp fer it ta hear."

Deon spoke up. "Actually, I brought some amps with me. I…The perfect man needs something for his dramatic entrances."

"Good, go get dem." Margaret tells Deon.

Confessional: Deon

Deon seems to be in high spirits as he says "She hasn't tried to flirt with me once." He smiles. "I think this plan is actually working."

By now, the Bellhops have found a big enough rock and gotten it on top of a hill.

"And there." Qwynn says as he gets it into position.

"Good." A sweaty Andrew sits down along with Sunny. "I'm glad that's over."

"Now," Liz addresses the group, "we need someone to be bait."

"I'm not doing it." Andrew pants.

"Me…neither." A sweaty Regina leans against the rock. "I'm tired, plus I broke a nail."

"Yeah, I'm out." Qwynn says as he sits down.

"Yeah, that was a lot of work." Phoebe says.

"What about you?" Liz points at Sunny.

"Aw come on!" Andrew groans.

Sunny pointed at Liz. "You're just saying that because you want me to get eaten, aren't you?"

Liz pauses. "...maybe, but we do need someone to lure that thing to the bottom of this hill."

Sunny rolled her eyes. "Fine, I'll do it, but only because everyone else is tired. Come on Andrew."

"But I don't want to."

"You don't have a choice. You're handcuffed to me."

Andrew looks down at his hand and cries. Cuts to the two of them out on the main beach area.

"Why did you do that?" Andrew asked Sunny.

"To get away from Liz. I don't like her." Sunny answers.

"Oh yeah that's right, you two have that rivalry."

"Anything else you want to get off your chest?"

"Nope, I just want to get this over with as soon as possible." Andrew bluntly states.

"Good. Now, we need to find this thing somehow."

"Are you trying to ask me for ideas? I don't know, it's sand. What am I supposed to do? Kick it?" Andrew kicks the sand beneath him. The monster promptly answers his question by appearing right in front of him and Sunny.

"Ouch." The annoyed monster says.

"Good job." Sunny said as she looked like she just saw a ghost.

"Run!" Andrew takes off with Sunny tagging along with him.

The not quite a couple keeps keeps running until they make it to the bottom of the hill.

"Now!" Sunny shouts.

Liz and the rest of the team push the rock off the cliff. The rock falls over, and hits the monster on the head, causing it to sink down into the ground.

"Did it work?" Liz shouts down to Sunny and Andrew.

"I don't see it yet." Andrew shouts back.

"Then where is Chris saying that we won?"

Just then, the monster appears next to the rock. It sucks in all of the sand in the nearby area to grow in size. It keeps going until it's a few feet taller than the cliff, where it then roared loudly at them, causing the entire team to run away screaming.

/

As that was going on, the Terrors were busy setting everything up.

"Okay, ya gotta dat thing plugged in?" Margaret asks Rival.

"Yes." Rival responded.

"Good, now we just need ta lure dat thing ova here."

"I don't think that will be necessary." Carter chimed in.

"Why?"

"Look." Carter points at the monster, who is still chasing after Andrew and Sunny from the Bellhops.

"Okay everyone, cover yer ears," Margaret says to her team, "and everyone except for Rival, get down!"

Everyone else takes cover as the monster gets closer. Rival readies himself as it draws closer. He pulls a pick out of the pocket in his trunks. When it finally gets in range, he begins playing his guitar. Andrew and Sunny put their hands over their ears. The monster meanwhile grows two hands so it can also cover its ears. The monster starts vibrating, and it eventually disintegrates.

"Did we win?" Rival asks.

"Probably not." Andrew tells him.

Andrew's prediction proves to be correct, as just like before, it just reassembles.

"Go!" Rival tells his team, who promptly gets up and runs away.

However, the monster stops chasing after Sunny and Andrew and goes after the Terrors. It chased them all the way to the docks, where there were many, many boats.

"It's made of sand." Laurie says. "I bet it can't follow us onto the docks.

The monster proves Laurie wrong by slinking onto the docks.

Margaret turns to Laurie and very bluntly says "Ya got any more predictions dat won't come true?"

"Well, there's only one more place we can go!" Deon hops onto one of the boats.

"Dat's betta dan any suggestion I can come up with." Margaret quickly follows Deon onto the boat, as do the rest of her teammates.

"Drive!" Margaret commands Deon, who undocks the boat and gets it out onto the sea. The monster attempted to follow them at first, but it looks down, then just headed back to the land.

"Did you see that?" Carter pointed out. "It couldn't follow us on the water.

"Hmmm…" Maria stared at her cup. "Maybe that's what these were for."

Margaret turns to Maria and she says "Dat's brilliant!"

"Now, if only we had enough water." Carter looks down at the ocean.

/

After running around for a while, Sunny and Andrew had finally caught up with their team.

"Let's never do that again!" Andrew pants as he falls to his knees.

"Well, that didn't work." An exhausted Qwynn says.

Phoebe frowns.

"Anyone else got any ideas?" Liz asks the group.

"I don't know," Qwynn sighs, "what if we blew it away? I don't know."

"Where are we going to get the wind?" Liz responds.

Qwynn gives Liz a tired look. "I don't know" he says as he throws his hands in the air.

"I'm too tired to think." Andrew states.

Just then, Phoebe gets an idea. "What if we froze it?"

"No," Liz disregards her, "that's not a reasonable idea."

Sunny puts her hand on Phoebe's shoulder. "It's not a terrible idea," she encourages her, "but we're not exactly in a position to get it cold enough."

At this, Regina has had enough, so she just takes charge. "Yes we are, because don't people usually bring coolers to a beach?"

"Well yes," Liz responds, "but this beast is bigger than one cooler."

"But what if we had a bunch of them," Regina suggests, "and what if we had a way to amplify their cooling power?"

"Well, I could build something like that." Liz says.

"Then it's settled." Regina says.

Time skip, the machine is already built and everyone is in position.

"We don't need any bait, do we?" A hopeful Andrew asks.

"Just kick the sand again." Sunny reminds him.

"Oh yeah, right." Andrew kicks the sand for a second time, and again the monster pops its head up.

"Now!" Regina shouted.

Liz turned on the machine and the coolers glued to the board turned on and blew at the monster. It shivers at first, but it then grows a hand which it uses to smack the board filled with coolers down.

"Oh crap!" Andrew takes off running, as does the rest of the team.

The beast goes after them when suddenly…

"Hey sand fer brains!"

The monster turned to see Margaret on a boat with a harpoon.

"Oh no." The monster tries slinking away, but Margaret fires the harpoon, and it lands in its mouth. Using the crank, Deon and Laurie pull the beast in by the tongue until it reaches the water, where it erodes.

"Nooooooooooooooooooooo!" The monster shouts until it shrinks down to nothing.

Just then, Chris, who was watching this on a TV while he was getting a tan, gets out a bullhorn and announces "And the Terrors win!"

/

Before the elimination ceremony, Qwynn and Regina were having a little spat.

"How could you let Phoebe get ahold of that hat?"

"Wait," Regina pauses. "Phoebe has the hat again? This is all my fault.

Qwynn points his finger at her. "Yes it is! You should've destroyed that thing while you had the chance! I would've burned it as soon as she gave it to me!"

"Oh come now, it obviously meant something to her. I'll admit, I don't know what schizophrenia is, but…" Regina wants to keep talking, but Qwynn puts a finger over her mouth.

"That's your problem, you're rich and you're too sheltered to know about these things. I'll admit, I don't know everything about schizophrenia either, but at least I know that hat just means trouble for her!"

"Then why did you want to use it for yourself earlier?"

"Because I didn't know she had it at first! I didn't know what was going on. Admittedly, I was being selfish, thinking that it could help in the game, but I was wrong, and I own up to that, but you should know better!"

"But I'm trying to help her. What are you doing?"

"When it comes to teaching, or helping out for that matter, I'm more of a hands off type of guy. When I see someone that needs help, of course I'll do it, but Phoebe hadn't been coming to me, she's been coming to you, and I didn't know that she gave you the hat until I saw her take it. She hadn't been showing me that she's been having any trouble with Libby, so I didn't step in."

"What about when she read your notebook thingee out loud?"

"Are you kidding me? I wasn't going to confront her then. That would've made me look like a jerk," Qwynn tugs on the neck of his sweater, "and besides, it would've probably guaranteed my elimination, but let's not talk about that." That last part he whispered to himself.

"Oh yeah, I guess that makes sense, but back to your other point, she hadn't been showing me any signs either." Regina admitted. "I thought this whole thing was behind us."

"Well then, I guess we both got fleeced, but still, it's your fault that we're in this situation."

"Okay, I'll admit it. I messed up, but I know how I can make this better!"

"How?"

"By owning up to my mistake."

"You mean telling the rest of the team? But you'll get eliminated!"

"I know that, but at least I'll be able to live with myself!"

Confessional: Qwynn

He sighs. "Seeing Regina do that," he sighs, "it makes me wonder if I should've done the same for Tyson." He hangs his head in shame.

Meanwhile, Phoebe was having a little conversation with Sunny.

"Hey Sunny!" Phoebe almost runs into Sunny.

"Phoebe" Sunny says in a surprised tone. "How are you doing?" She asked awkwardly.

"Look, I'm sorry about what happened today, but please don't vote for me, vote for Li…Regina, no no no no I mean Riz, no Lagina no I mean Vag…no, I mean, I mean…"

"Stop trying to interfere with my plans!" Libby slaps Phoebe on the cheek right in front of Sunny.

"Um, okaaaaaaay…" a weirded out Sunny scratches her head.

"No, don't listen to her, I mean me!"

"Alright." Sunny says as she wonders what is going on.

"I'm sorry, but it's a long story, but you've got to believe me, it wasn't me doing that stuff today."

"Of course not, because it was me!" Libby states, weirding out Sunny even more.

After this, Phoebe just spits out her gum. "There we go. Now…" Phoebe looks around to see that Sunny is already gone. She sighs. "Of course, that would happen to me."

He tears up. "Regina, I salute you," he salutes the camera, "but it was still your fault that Phoebe got the hat back."

"I'll be honest, I dunno who to vote for, so I'll just vote for someone at random."

Confessional: Phoebe

She is struggling in the confessional as Libby is trying to get her to put another piece of gum in her mouth.

"No, I won't do it!"

"Oh come on, you can't resist forever." Libby says. "You know that I'm stronger than you, so just take the gum and vote for Regina."

"No I won't do it, I refuse!"

"You know you can't do that, because I'm a part of you. I'm inside your head!"

"That may be, but there's one thing that you can't control, my heart!" With her other hand, Phoebe grabs the stamp and puts a big red X on Liz's picture.

"Why you little…"

At the elimination ceremony, a few folks were feeling a little nervous, namely Phoebe.

Regina, who is sitting right next to Phoebe, hugs her and says "It's going to be alright." Regina thinks about taking the hat, but she doesn't see a lump in Phoebe's hoodie pocket, so there's nothing she can do. Just then, Chris walked in and started the elimination ceremony.

"Good evening hotel guests!" He greets an unamused Bellhops team.

Some loud sighs are heard, but no one says anything back to the host.

"Tough crowd. Anyways, Qwynn, you got a perfect thirty on the surfing challenge today, so here's your card.

"Thanks" Qwynn says as he catches his room card from Chef, "but I still don't know how I did it."

"Sunny, you kissed a guy to help him win that same surfing challenge, so here you go."

Sunny just sighed as she caught her card.

Chris then turns his attention to the woman of the hour. "Now Phoebe, you had an idea that didn't work out today, but you also did well on the surfing challenge, so I guess you're off the hook."

"Thanks." Phoebe just says awkwardly as she catches her card.

Regina grabs Phoebe by the hand as Chris turns his attention to the other three.

"Now, Andrew, Liz, and Regina, you guys are in the bottom three tonight. Regina, like Phoebe, you had an idea that didn't work out, Liz, you're not making very many friends, and Andrew, you actually, I'm not sure what you did today, so here's your card."

"Yes, I survived two of these in a row!" Andrew celebrates by awkwardly playing an air guitar as Sunny can't help but laugh at this.

"Now as for you two," Chris turned to Liz and Regina. "I've already stated what you've done today, so here goes. The final card of the night goes to…

Liz gets her idol out of her pocket…

"...Liz!"

"Phew." Liz wiped the sweat from her forehead with her left hand as she caught the card with her right.

"What? I wasn't nervous back there, I totally knew I was safe." She sweats.

"I'm sorry." Regina says as she hugs Phoebe. She is also being fitted with the proper safety equipment by Chef. "I'm sorry I let you down."

Both girls started to cry. "I know you meant well," Phoebe says to Regina, "but I don't think I'll ever get rid of her."

"Don't give up hope. As I've learned through this experience, no one can have it all right away, but sometimes you just have to hang in there." After Regina says this, the two girls exchange phone numbers.

"I wish this wasn't goodbye." Phoebe says.

"Maybe it doesn't have to be." Regina turns to Chris. "Hey, could I be one of those interns or whatever it's called?"

"Okay," the host replies, "but you would have to work."

Regina backs off for a second, but after thinking about it, she says "Fine whatever, as long as I get a little more time with my friend here."

"Then it's settled." Chris says before turning to the camera and giving the outro. "Well, that was a rather sappy ending. Will Deon and Margaret kiss? Will Sunny and Andrew kiss again? Will anyone look hotter than Margaret in a bikini? For that last one, I don't think so, except for maybe Lindsay, but as for the other questions, find out next time on TOTAL…DRAMA…HOTEL MADNESS!"

AN: And we've officially reached the halfway point. Thank you to everyone who has supported me for this long. I know that I'm not the fastest at getting these episodes out, but it really does mean a lot to me. That being said, sorry Morbid, but this was always my intention. At some point, I was going to eliminate Regina to force Phoebe to deal with Libby on her own, and possibly open up the door for someone else, also I realized that she had to go before Qwynn because she wasn't really helping regarding the Phoebe situation, however well intentioned she may have been, whereas Qwynn could, and I really hope you like the next episode. ;) I will admit that I changed a lot about this elimination. Not necessarily the elimination itself but how it happened. It was tough for me to eliminate Regina here because I really liked her as a character, but I figured that a better sendoff for her would be something where she makes a mistake but learns from it and I hope I achieved that vision here. I've made some rearranging to my schedule recently so that hopefully I can get these episodes out quicker. Next up for me is the introduction chapter for Twilight Zone, as well as some applications that I need to finish. I hope to get the next episode done at or around Halloween because it's going to be a horror themed episode, but I make no promises. Honestly I hope to get episode 12 out by November. Lastly, I have one question to ask you guys. Do you remember the episode where Kira Queen Daizan no Bakudan Bait Za Dasto Frieza no broda Ochako Kazuma Boku Tohru Chisa Haru Momiji Nakamura Shigure Hanzo Hatori Sayori Misaka Miku learned how to surf? Lol Daring out!

Daring's tip: Oh Miwster Obawma, cowme owt and pway!
