Total Drama Action (Complicated Chaos)

Chapter 11: Masters of Disasters

Recap

Chris:, "Last time on Total Drama Action, it was horror movie challenge day, and there was plenty of scares and drama to go around. On the Gaffers, Courtney revealed her hesitations to get back with Duncan, Chef pressured DJ to be the killer to mix results. Elsewhere on the Gaffers, Brick and Jen both coped with their awkward moment during the medical challenge with Brick panicked about the challenge and the dark while Jen mainly kept to herself. Meanwhile the disaster that is the Grips continued to be a hot mess, Lindsay tried to assert herself as leader which got her and Amy at each other's throats, Lindsay assigned Beth as serial killer but besides Lindsay herself and Jay, Beth was very ineffective as the killer, Geoff revealed he is still harboring feelings for his ex Amy but does Amy feel the same way? In the final part of the challenge Lindsay's bossiness was too much for Amy and the two ladies fought which landed both in the bottom 2 after Brick came up with a plan to have his team win the challenge, and in an unexpected turn, both ladies got saved when DJ and Dawn quit the game after DJ and Chef outed their illegal alliance and both DJ and Dawn hopped in the Lame-O-Sine. Now we are down to 15 players in the game, can the Grips actually win a challenge after losing the past 3, will any of the potential couples just finally kiss and make it official, and will today's challenge be another disaster for the Grips. Find out right now on Total… Drama….. Action!"

[Whistling, end Theme Song]


Craft Services Tent

After Duncan and Harold try Chef's food. Harold chokes on it. "This is positively revolting." Harold yelled out.

Duncan: "You said it. This is gross, who actually enjoys this garbage?"

Courtney: "Convicts, cheaters, you Duncan."

Duncan: "Ha, ha very funny, how original."

Katie: 'It's not like Brick is struggling to eat the food."

Brick: (to himself eating wuickly) "Must eat feelings away."

Leshawna: "I don't know a ton but safe to say he's still not doing well. What's it about who knows but he should not be eating that much Chef's food.

Jen: "Poor guy. I can't eat this though. It's so gross."


Confessional: Brick

"I'm fine. I won my team the last challenge, why wouldn't I be fine? (sighs) What is wrong with me?"


Confessional: Jen

"Did I cause Brick's weird funk he is in? No he is probably homesick. Right?"


Meanwhile on One End of the Grips Table

Beth: "I wish my parents were here, they would be such excellent cooks."

Jay "That's odd, you don't talk about your folks often, why now?"

Beth: "Oh no reason…." (she was looking over at Topher hoping to get his attention but he was busy talking to Sammy)

Jay: "Well it's fun to hear about your folks. Have any siblings?"

Beth: (Focused back on Jay) "Nope, only child and this is actually kind of embarrassing. Before I got on the first season my best friend was a pig."

Jay "Were you homeschooled like that one guy, uh uh, what's his name?"

Katie (off screen): "Ezekiel!"

Jay: "That's it, anyway were you homeschooled like he was?"

Beth: "Nope public school and all, I had this guy I tried to impress because he was so hot, like hotter than Justin type, and what I did was make a poster sized valentine, it had unicorns on it and was a huge romantic gesture."

Lindsay: "Awe, that's so cute. Did he say yes?"

Beth "Heh no, he said he wasn't interested, and at first I thought he was playing hard to get and was gonna do a romantic gesture back for me as that's the quickest way to get my love if the guy isn't already drop dead gorgeous, but he eventually began dating this girl."

Jay "Are you still friends with him?

Beth: "I like to think so. He didn't talk to me after the gesture though."


Confessional: Beth

"Jay taking such an interest in my family and home life took me by surprise, he is such a good friend."


Confessional: Jay

"All I was doing this morning was helping a friend in need as Beth seemed sad with the food, I mean who could blame her." (looks to the side) "Stop looking at me like that."


On other end of Grips Table

Topher: "So let me get this straight, the reason why you had your head shaved was so people could tell the difference between the two of you?"

Sammy: "Yep, and Amy told me to do it. Luckily my mother grounded Amy for doing that."

Topher "Let me guess you are close with your mother unlike Amy."

Sammy "Well Amy thinks she is both of our parents' favorites. She's daddy's favorite but that's because he completely spoils her."

Topher: "At least you have both your parents in your life."

Sammy: "Oh, oh my gosh you never told me your parents are dead."

Topher: "Dead? No, just divorced. They are both technically in my life"

Sammy: "Oh okay, that's not too bad."

Topher "I mean I'm thankful they are both alive but it's not a great feeling when you have felt like an object in your parents life for many years. Wait, you never knew my parents were divorced despite me dating your sister?"

Sammy "Amy never told me much about you. She and I don't get along as I am sure you are very aware."

Topher: "Oh of course she always complained about her to you when we dated."


Back at The Gaffers Table

Harold: "Bendy straws! These are just like the ones they had at the hospital where I had my kidneys switched."

Katie: "You had your kidneys switched? Did I hear that right?"

Harold: "Yep. I was born with a rare kidney condition. My left kidney was where the right one should be."

Leshawna: You had a surgical kidney swap?

Harold: That's right. I'm a rare case and very special."

Leshawna (lovingly) "Yes you are."

Courtney: You're a rare case, all right, a rare pain in the ass."

Harold: "Are you still angry about me voting you out last season? You and I were never close, you have another shot to win the game, get over it Courtney. Sorry I liked Tyler more than you."

Duncan: "Speaking of which, where is Tyler and all his 'interning'?"


Challenge Site

Tyler: "I still don't get why they want tomato soup or hail sized golf balls for the challenge?

Cody: "Beats me. Hey Tyler, have you gotten the chance to talk to Lindsay?"

Tyler: "No dude, I am so worried for her. I heard had DJ not quit along with that girl Dawn, my girl Lindsay would have been sent out. She is constantly on the bottom and man, every day I am worried for her. Well what about you have you talked to your friend Jay since your elimination."

Cody: "As a matter of a fact I have after the night Trent was eliminated Jay was sitting outside the guy trailer and he hinted to me he likes a girl in the game."

Tyler: "Ooh do tell Cody."

Cody: "Dude, no. One besides your sexuality you can't keep a secret to save your life. Second, that's Jay's information to share, I am only telling you because you are one of my best friends.

Tyler: "Can I at least tell Lindsay next time I see her"

Cody: "No."

Tyler: "What? Don't tell me Jay has eyes for my girl Lindsay?"

Cody: "Okay fine but you can't tell even Lindsay. No he doesn't like Lindsay like that. He has a very small crush on Beth aka Lindsay's best friend."

Tyler: "Beth? I never saw that coming."

Cody: "Just promise me you won't tell anyone this one time, about this crush. Not even Lindsay"

Tyler: "Fine, do you have the prank set up for Chris"

Cody: "Of course I do."


Craft Services Tent

(Chris walked in) Chris: "Hold your horses everyone, whatever food you have digested probably won't stay down long."

Duncan: "Really and what type of torture do you plan on us today?"

Chris: "Oh, nothing. Just that your day will be a total disaster. Get it? It's a disaster movie theme! You know? Like in disaster flicks? People running for their lives from volcanoes, earthquakes, asteroids, tidal waves. The more disastrous, the better"

Courtney "Are you insane, I checked our contracts and you can't legally kill any of us."

Chris: "Kill nope of course I wouldn't. However push you crazy kids to your physical limits? Fair game as far as I am concerned."


Confessional: Lindsay

"My hair is already a total disaster! It's been three weeks since I've had a trim as I got a slight one right before the new season! Split ends city! How much worse could it get? Not to mention I still haven't gotten the chance to talk to Tyler. Man this confessional is full of sad energy."


Confessional: Katie

"It's genuinely scary right now. Our team is down to just seven of us and there is no place to hide. I know that the other team is aware of Trent throwing challenges before he left. But I wanna prove you can play this game, hard and fair and that I don't need to be carried."


Start of First Challenge

Chris: Your first challenge is… the earthquake of inevitable pain! (Everyone looks on in fear besides Brick) Each team has to run the course, challenging your dexterity, maneuverability, and other mad monkey skills. First team to the top wins! Best out of two will earn today's reward and immunity. Losing team sends someone home."

Katie (to Brick): "How are you not freaking out?"

Brick: "The obstacle course looks like something I would do in the academy."

Jen: "I just hope there's no legit danger."

Chris: "Enough with the chitty chat. Take your marks…"


(scene flashes forward to everyone prepping for the challenge)

Leshawna: "Let's do this!"

Harold: "Love when you get hyped Leshawna."

Courtney: "This challenge will be easy."

Beth: "I can't wait to swing on the monkey bars."

Lindsay: "Hey Beth, you may wanna make sure Jay is okay. He's breathing pretty heavily and seems freaked out.

Jay: (Breathing out of paper bag)


Confessional: Lindsay

"So I decided that I want Beth and Jay to spend the day together during the challenge and same thing with Sammy and Topher. I don't necessarily want to lead my team after the disaster that was the last challenge, but playing cupid is a nice way to make the day go by faster."


Back To Challenge

Chris: "Action!"

[air horn blows]

Brick: "This is pretty easy"

Chris: "Are you ready to rock?!" (Challenge shakes and both Courtney and Duncan fall over each other)

Duncan: "Ah, stupid Chris."

Courtney: "Get off of me, please"

(the show then shows Beth falling over and tripping Lightning in front of her)

Lightning: "Chubby girl, if you break a bone in my body you will have to fix The Lightning up."

Beth: "Chubby? How dare you and get off of me.

Lightning; "I am just saying you aren't the most model perfect person out there."

Lindsay (who was holding Beth back): "Guys we have a challenge to win."


Confessional: Lightning

"Maybe I should have phrased that better but eh, I do not find Beth good looking at all. What's next, she talks about an imaginary boyfriend?"


Back to Challenge

Chef: "Perfect time to get rid of some old junk. Heh heh… (throws football hitting Harold and Leshawna off the monkey bars)

Harold: "Ow, my right kidney!"

Leshawna "Get up, Harold we have to win this challenge."

(challenge stops shaking)

Beth: "Finally a break, ooh monkey bars!"

Jay: "Where's Lightning?"

Amy (Filing her nails) "He took off ahead of everyone else."

Topher: "This is a team challenge, and since when do you have time to file your nails?"

Amy: "Since when do you care?"

Topher: "I don't but maybe you should care about the challenge."

Chris "After shock time."

Brick: "Oh, that's smarts. Uh oh something's coming up (pukes)"

Jen "Ew! Oh my gosh! Ew! Get me on these monkey bars now!"


Confessional: Brick

"Note to self don't eat too much before a challenge. So embarrassing. I didn't mean to scare and gross Jen out"


Back to Challenge

Chris: "Oh, yeah. That reminds me. It's lava time!"

Chef: "Tomato soup?! That was supposed to be for supper."

Chris: "Yeah but I am not feeding those two interns Cody and Tyler, now get down here and help me with the hail storm."

Katie "Hail storm?"

Chris: "Yes Katie, to be exact, golf ball-sized hail is bad. But hail-sized golf balls are even worse!"

(contestants get hit and start moaning and groaning)

Amy: "Okay I told Lightning to go on ahead of us but where could he be, he should totally protect us from the golf balls."

Topher: "Why did you tell him to go on ahead of us?"

Amy: "Because he pissed people off calling Beth chubby so I figured I would avoid someone clobbering him."

Chris: "After-after shock!"

Lindsay: "Losing balance right now guys! Waah!" (falls in)

Geoff: "Got you Lindsay" (Grabs her but then both twins fall on top of him)

Samey: "Sorry Geoff, I am kind of stuck."

Geoff: "How are you stuck Amy"

Amy: "How dare you? I am Amy, that's Samey!"

Geoff: "Can you guys just get off of me."

Topher "Guys we have a challenge to win! Here I'll get you girls off of Geoff" (pulls Amy off with little regards) "Now Sammy" (pulls her off as well but the two fall on top of each other) "Oops, sorry about that."

Sammy: "No, no it's fine." (blushing and both get off each other)

Beth: (Walks over to the scene while Lindsay and Geoff are getting back out) "My parents wanted to rescue people growing up before settling on a farm, it's so cute."

Topher: "Beth, you're amazing but can you please talk about your family some other time, like not right now when we are in a challenge."


Final Part of Challenge

(Gaffers had a lead as Courtney and Duncan lead their team, unfortunately Harold fell in to one of the obstacles until Brick grabbed him)

Brick: "No soldier left behind."

Harold: "Thanks Brick, aren't you still not feeling well from the puking?"

Brick: "No I'm fine. On second thought, stand clear." (Brick runs off screen to puke which Jen screams again at the sight of)

Katie: "We should probably make sure on the next challenge day, he doesn't eat that much."

Harold "What even makes him crazy enough to eat a lot of Chef's food? Ever since the medical challenge he has been acting strange"

Katie "I know right? (gets hit with a golf ball) "Ow"

Harold: "Shouldn't someone yell fore?"

Chris: "Fore! (gun clicks) Damn thing is jammed. Chef! Do something!"

Chef: "Backing up! Backing up"

Chris: "Hit the brakes!"

Chef "They aren't working! Who cut the brakes?"

Chris: "Tyler! Cody!"

(Crashes)

Chris "Those two are such a pain in the ass!"

Chef: "Hold on! I can stop these little brats."

(Chef is shown throwing stuff with a plant hitting Leshawna in the head as Courtney and Duncan finish and Duncan hugs Courtney)

Courtney: (laughs) "Put me down! (serious tone) "Put me down, now!"

Duncan: "Sorry about that, adrenaline."


(meanwhile with Grips, Beth was in front when she saw Lightning still behind the big wall)

Beth: "Lightning? Guys I found him. What are you doing?"

Lightning: "Well you guys had such a problem with me pulling out in front I decided to wait for all of you guys."

Topher: "Guys we don't have time, Lightning just throw all of us over the wall."

Lightning "On it," (was shown that everyone sans Amy and Lightning had made it over the wall with Chef now carelessly throwing stuff.)

Lightning: "Ladies first."

Amy "Nah, you actually had enough smarts to help the team out, I will be nice and let you finish."

Topher: "Guys seriously we don't have time for this."

Lightning "Okay I'll go on ahead."

Chef "My unpublished manifesto, (throws)

Lightning: (head pops over wall until book hits him in the jaw) "Ah!" [groans] "Ouchie." [lipsy] "That'll hurt my football chances, sha-ow."

Amy: "Oh no! Lightning. Are you okay?!"

Chef: "My editor was right. My life really is dangerous. Heh heh"

Jay (looked in shock): "Wow! Bad luck usually happens to me. (turns to see Beth nearly paralyzed in fear) "Beth, Beth, are you okay?"


Confessional: Beth

"Did Lightning really break his jaw thanks to Chef? Oh my gosh I feel so guilty, I caused all of this. I made him go ahead after my reaction to him calling me chubby, he then tried to play hero only for this to happen. I feel so guilty, I doubt Lightning will ever forgive me and given Amy's reaction. I doubt she will ever forgive me."


Confessional: Amy

"Okay truth be told. Lightning is one of the few people here who keeps me sane. Yes he is an egotistical ass, but he is fun to rip on and he takes it all in stride, mainly because he is an idiot, besides everyone else on the team drives me insane. Lindsay is a total bitch, Topher thinks he is so smart he isn't, Beth played a role in breaking Lightning's jaw, Jay is scared of his own shadow, and Samey is pathetic. Lightning and Geoff are two of the only people on this team that keep me sane. To lose Lightning would just suck."


Aftermath of Challenge

Leshawna: "Um, Chris? Why doesn't the crew go over and help him? He is in serious pain."

Chris: "Yeah, yeah. As soon as we're done getting every shot. The good news is, it looks like Lightning won the challenge for the Killer Grips. Specifically an advantage for the next part."

Leshawna: "Oh no, he didn't! This is bullshit."

Harold: "Yeah, we got our whole team across the finish line! We also did it before they did? What the hell!"

Chris: "Serious injury trumps all."

Courtney: "You just make up the rules as you go along, don't you?"

Chris: "I love my job."

Katie: "I mean I would have loved to have won the first part of the challenge but good TV trumps all with most people. Still so sad what is happening to Lightning"

Jen: "Oh totes agree. I feel bad for Lightning, but that was a TV moment if I ever saw it."

Chris "Okay, while Chef and I tend to Lightning along with the medic, you contestants head to the Craft Services Tent as I have sent our two "lovely" interns to cook you guys lunch while Chef and I are busy with Lightning."

Lindsay: "Eeh! I get to hang with Tyler"

Harold: "Oh no."


Confessional: Harold

"Tyler has a passion for cooking, doesn't mean he is automatically a good cook. Not to mention he is a total klutz."


Craft Services Tent

(Gaffers Table)

Duncan: "Stupid Chris costing us the first part of the challenge."

Katie: "It's just an advantage, maybe things will work out well for us."

Courtney: "It's not like the other team is that smart. They have Lindsay."

Jen: "Speaking of which, where is she?"

Katie: "She's in the kitchen talking and flirting with Tyler."

Duncan: (deadpan) "Shocker."


(Grips Table)

Jay: "How long have Linsay been in the kitchen with Tyler and Cody"

Beth: "Linds has been there for a half hour, I am sure she will be fine."

Jay: "Should we go check on them? I doubt Chris and Chef will be back."

Beth: "Her and Tyler are probably just flirting, I hope they don't let her cook. Noah got poisoned last season from her cooking."

Geoff: "Weren't you already eliminated when that challenge happened?"

Beth: "I was but remember Geoff we saw everything that happened after we left."

Geoff: "Oh right, anyways. Amy, how are you doing?"

Amy; "Fine, just concerned for Lightning is all. Our team finally got a number advantage even with Sammy as dead weight."

Sammy: "I'm right here you know?"

Amy: "I don't care. Anyways and to have that number advantage taken away especially with one of our most athletic members, is unsettling to say the least."

Topher: "Our team is plenty athletic enough?"

Amy: "Yeah because you and Jay can totally take Brick and Duncan on a physical challenge."

Topher: "I could totally take them on, what say you Jay?"

Jay: (not paying attention) "Uh yeah, totally."

Sammy: "Is something wrong Jay?"

Jay: "Nothing. Nope I am perfect."


Confessional: Jay

"Yeah, something is wrong. I just get this weird sense that Cody spilled to Tyler about me liking Beth just a touch. It's not a full blown romantic crush type thing. It's just a small one. Nothing wrong with that right? I have never liked a girl before, okay."


(Kitchen)

Lindsay: (after being done making out) "Come on Tyler, I can tell you have that look on your face you want to tell me something?"

Tyler (nervously): "Nope everything is fine."

Lindsay: "Tyler, we promised each other no more lies."

Tyler: "Well you see, I ah. The funny thing is..."


Confessional: Cody

"Can't believe I was able to sneak in here to do one. Anyway, Tyler stuttering is exactly why I didn't want to tell him about Jay liking Beth, luckily Tyler managed to come up with a good lie to cover my ass and to prevent Jay from being embarrassed. Unfortunately, if Tyler doesn't have a poker face, Lindsay will leak information even if she has no reason to do so and will do so without a second thought. Oh and it turns out Tyler didn't even lie."


(Back to Scene)

Tyler: "Okay, the secret I have to tell you is that uh, Brick totally has a thing for Jen and probably tried to kiss her. Yep that's it."

Lindsay "Oh that's so cute, I should totally go tell everyone about this."

Tyler: "Wait, I….. don't…. think you should, (Lindsay leaves kitchen)

Cody: (slow claps) "Way to go buddy. Wait for the fireworks to go off any minute."

Tyler "Hey it wasn't like I told what you actually said."

Lindsay: (off screen) "Tyler told me that Brick tried to kiss Jen."

Cody: "Well there goes the dynamite"

Tyler: "Should I leave?"

Cody: "Both of us should, let's go." (both head out the kitchen)


Main Hall

Everyone but Lindsay: "What?"

Katie: "Is this true Brick, did you try and kiss Jen?"

Brick: (stuttering) "Yes, yes I did (Jen slaps him on the face) Ow!"

Jen: "I can't believe you told Lindsay that."

Brick: "I never told anyone that I tried to kiss you! That's not even true"

Lindsay: "Tyler told me. He is such an amazing boyfriend and he would never lie to me after last season."

Jen: "Wait you told Tyler, you tried to kiss me? I made it very clear I did not like it when you did that and I didn't want that, I just see you as a friend and since you blabber to Tyler I don't even see you as that."

Brick: "No, like I said I never told anyone anything and we are friends."

Courtney: "Then how would Tyler know about you trying to kiss her, he's not the brightest crayon in the box but he's not stupid. He outlasted me last season."

Brick: "He must have just luckily guessed it."

Duncan: (laughs) "Yeah right, there is no way someone can just guess something like that. That's way too specific"

Jen: "I am so pissed right now, I can't even see straight, I need some water."

Chris: (Comes in) "Then I got just the challenge for you."

Amy: "Seriously of all times you show up, you choose now."

Chris: "Aw did I intrude on some drama. Anyways, meet me outside for the second part of the challenge."


Confessional: Brick

"I don't know how Tyler, Lindsay, or whoever found out that I tried to kiss Jen. I never said a word to anyone about that. It's been on my mind since it happened and how much I screwed up. Now Jen is pissed at me, and I am probably public enemy number one. What to do?"


Confessional: Jen

"I am so pissed right now at Brick. Like I am more mad now than I was when one of my shirts got soaked in hot water as it is cold wash only. I don't even know what to think. Either Tyler made it up in his head that Brick tried to kiss me, which while I know Tyler, I would like to think he's not that stupid or Brick bragged about tryiing to kiss me, which is such a scummy move after Brick goes on to me about how he is about honor, loyalty, what a load of crap."


Confessional: Harold

"Truth be told, I honestly believe Brick that he did not say anything, he doesn't seem like the deceptive type of person. The problem is, I didn't want to defend him in front of anyone. What's worse is that now this alliance that I am trying to build of me, my girlfriend Leshawna, Brick, and Jen is now starting to fall apart. Gosh!"


Beginning of Second Challenge

Amy: "How's Lightning doing?"

Sammy: "Why do you keep worrying about him?"

Amy: "Shut it Samey!"

Chris: "Oh, Lightning's fine. A little broken jaw, but it's all wired shut now. Shouldn't take more than four to six weeks to heal."

Beth: "Oh no! Is it that bad? That's horrible"

Chris: "Which brings me to my next point, Lightning's fate in the game is unknown as of right now, we normally would let him keep competing for ratings and what not."

Jay: "You are a monster!"

Chris: "That I am. But due to the fact that Lightning's dad has a lot of money he could sue us with, we are trying to determine whether he will sue us."

Amy: "He should."

Chris: "Okay, the next person that interrupts me is getting automatically eliminated because now you guys are annoying me. All right. Now it's time for the second disaster-themed challenge. Who's excited? (no one responds) Because of Lightning's win, the Grips have the advantage of getting this handy dandy piece of paper for the second disaster challenge."

Lindsay: "What good is this? It just has some dumb numbers on it."

Beth: "Ooh! I think it's a lock combination!"

Jay: "Could be used for opening a safe."

Chris: "Okay, time to get inside."

Leshawna: "Are you crazy? I'm not getting in that tin can! Besides, we already have a consensus target on our team."

Duncan: "You are not costing us this challenge!"

Katie: "Come on Leshawna we are all in this together as a team, remember a million dollars is at stake."

Leshawna: "Better be carpeted in there."

Chris: "It's not"

Leshawna: (growls in anger)


Gaffers Area

Leshawna: "I do not like this, not one little bit."

Courtney: "You don't have to like it, but suck it up and stop complaining already."

Duncan: "There's, the Courtney that I love.'

Courtney: "Don't push it."

Duncan: "Noted."


Grips Area

(Alarms Blaring)

Topher: "Gah! What is that sound."

Beth: (snuggled against Topher) "Who cares? I can stay like this all day."

Topher: (Backs away) "Yeah, I am gonna go talk to Sammy, on the other side."

Beth (sighs and walks over to Lindsay) "Am I doing something wrong Lindsay? No matter how much I tried to flirt with Topher he has never reciprocated my feelings yet. Maybe he is playing hard to get"

Lindsay: "Well, um, maybe talk to Jay he doesn't seem well?"

Beth: "Maybe later, Linds, is there something wrong?"

Lindsay: "No just nerves of the challenge is all."

Beth: "Uh huh? Yeah, let's talk after the challenge."

(meanwhile with Topher and Sammy)

Sammy: "Hey congrats on the girlfriend."

Topher: "Girlfriend? I am single."

Sammy: "Beth, I am happy you moved on from Amy and found someone better."

Topher: "Oh yeah, Beth. I am not interested in her like that."

Sammy: "But the way she was cuddling with you just now-"

Topher: "I am pretty sure she feels some sort of attraction to me, but I haven't broken the news to her yet, I don't feel the same way."

Sammy: "Topher, why haven't you told her?"

Topher: (sighs) "I do look at her as a friend and I do care for her, but she is so enamored with me, that if I do tell her I don't look at her that way, it could ruin a good friendship that I do want to keep."

Sammy: "She doesn't deserve to live a lie, and if it does ruin the friendship, was it really a friendship worth keeping?"

Topher: "I'll talk to her tonight."


Confessional: Sammy

"I could have at that moment asked Topher out, like I have been wanting to for a long time now, but I just didn't have the courage to. One of the reasons why I assumed he would never go out with me is that he is always with Beth so I just assumed they were a couple. That and I doubt he ever thinks of me the same way."


Confessional: Topher

"Okay the truth is, I kind of do like Sammy in a romantic sense for a while now, even when I was dating her sister. I just promised myself I wouldn't fall in love when I did this show. I at first wanted to replace Chris by showing how awesome of a player I am, and I didn't want to get emotionally attached to. I do know that I need to let Beth know how I feel on both ends. I owe her that much, please don't have this blow up in my face"


Start of Challenge/Control Room

Chris: [over P.A.] "For this challenge, you've gotta get out of your area. Cold water will rise higher and higher making it more dangerous. Find the exit and both places will drain of water, the winning team earns reward and immunity for the night. Losing team may send someone home, oh and if Lightning is still in the game and the Grips lose, he gets immunity since he did not partake in the second part of the challenge.

Chef: "Pick up two."

Chris: "You mind cranking that lever?"


Grips Room

Geoff: "Oh this water is really cold, wait I can't see a thing."

Amy: "Stop complaining, we have a challenge to win, besides (goes to box with flashlights) here"

Beth: "I really wish my parents were here. They once saved me when I was drowning."

Amy: "Uh-huh. Yeah. It would be great if they were here, you're right. You know what would be better?"

Beth:" What?"

Amy: "If they existed in the first place! Now let's get out of this death trap!"

(everyone sans Amy gasps at her statement)

Amy: "What?"

Jay: "Low blow, very low blow."

Beth: "My family exists, loves me, and cares for me! How dare you!"

Topher: "Okay guys, calm down, look (shines flashlight at top) this might be an exit."

Jay: "This could be the exit too. (shines flashlight on bottom)"

Beth: (tries to open it) "Oh no! It's a combination lock!"

Amy: "Doesn't that sound familiar? Lindsay?"

Lindsay (still looking clueless): "How are we ever going to open it?"

Amy: "You are completely hopeless!"

Beth: "Guys, we better get to it quick before the water gets too high!"

Topher:" I'll do it."

Lindsay: "No, I wanna do it."

Topher: "Just give it to me. Lindsay. Lindsay. Lindsay."

Lindsay: "Look, I just– But I wanna do it! Come on!"

(paper falls in the water)

Jay: (picks up paper) "Well this is useless, so let's try the top one. Ugh!"

Lindsay: "Sorry."

Amy: "You're sorry, you and Topher may have just cost us the challenge."

Topher: "At least I didn't say that Beth's family doesn't exist"

Jay: "Okay guys calm down. We can just float up to the top and open the hatch."


Gaffers Area

Harold: (tries to open the bottom part but needs to breathe air) "Aah! If I was part fish this would be a steal."

Leshawna: "What does it matter, we have an easy target tonight?" (glares at Brick)

Confessional: Leshawna

"No one messes with my girl Jen. Brick is a total player and I will gladly vote him out."


Confessional: Harold

"Man it would be great if I had been part fish. Anyways, I had to win this challenge for my team, the moment I saw Leshawna glare at Brick I realized she was repeating the same mistakes last season. She thought last time she was completely safe with everyone and dictate who could go. Duncan and Courtney are never working with us. I don't know why she keeps letting Duncan try to slip on by. Give Duncan an inch in this game and he will get rid of anyone who isn't Courtney in a heartbeat."


(Back to Scene)

Leshawna:" Maybe we could boost each other up."

(Duncan boosts Leshawna up who then boosts Courtney up)

Courtney: "Can't reach, losing balance."

(all 3 fall into the water)

Leshawna: (appears out of the wate with her hair changed to what it was during the western challenger) "Did I say I hate water, because I do."

Jen: (walks up to her): "You pull it off really well, like I said before."

Brick: "Yep, it looks nice Leshawna."

Leshawna: "Can it Brick!"

Courtney: "I mean you do look like a floater."

Leshawna: "Is that another big girl joke?" (her and Courtney start slapping each other until Katie gets in between them)

Katie: "Guys stop! Fighting will get us nowhere."

Duncan: "Yeah you guys fight like girls, we will just float to the top and open the top hatch."

Harold: "Funny you don't look like a thinker Duncan"

Duncan: "Do you wanna get waterboarded Harold?"

Harold" "No"

Duncan: "Then shut it!"

Courtney "Hold on I think I got the hatch open (fire shows up) nope never mind, any other ideas (unknowingly walks right into Duncan)"

Duncan: "Princess."

Courtney: "Not now!"'


Grips Area

Geoff: "I got it!" (opens hatch only for a shark to show up) Nope, any other ideas."


Control Room

Chris: "Fire and sharks, huh? Don't you think that's a bit much?"


Confessional: Chef

"Seriously! I'm just not in the mood! Busting my hump for a bunch of snot-nosed little– Don't I deserve a little me-time?!"


(Back to Control Room)

Chris: "Really, it might be time to end the challenge. The water's getting pretty high. And uh, those kids are terrible swimmers."

Chef: "Focus! I want my chips back. I'm starving."

Chris: "This is getting serious. Turn off the water!" (Chef breaks the lever) "We've gotta get the cast out of there! Simple formula! No more contestants equals no more episodes equals no paycheck and the end of my luxurious lifestyle!"

Chef: "Texas Hold 'Em?"

Chris: "You're not hearing me!"

Chef: "I am, I just don't give a shit about you and your paycheck and lifestyle since you and the producers don't pay me crap.

Chris: "Bite me. I happen to like my job, and I didn't help a contestant out in the game."


Gaffers Area

Leshawna: "T-This could be it. The end. Like, the end. A-And I wanna live!" (tears up)

Harold: "I know you're scared. But you don't have to cry. I'll save you. You are my whole world"

Leshawna: "Who said anything about crying? Leshawna never cries!"

Duncan: "You sure blubbered enough when a reward was on the line!"

Katie: "Yeah Leshawna you kind of were a mess during the medical challenge."

Leshawna: "Yeah about that, I may have exaggerated my emotions a bit to get the spa reward day."

Duncan: "You are a total sham!"

Courtney: "You fake cried to get the reward with Leshaniqua? I am voting you off the next chance I get!"

Leshawna: "What? Why? I busted my ass during that medical challenge to make sure we won, I earned that spa reward."

Jen: "Yeah I agree with Leshawna here, she and I carried the team to win the medical challenge, remember we were the only ones who didn't eat the laxative pizza."

Duncan: "Doesn't matter, Leshawna bullshitted her way into a reward and tried to guilt all of us into doing so.

Harold: "Hey, wait a second. Let's not forget who's always there listening to everyone's problems."

Courtney: "You're gonna pay for this, Big Loud and Proud!"

Harold: "Wait! I just remembered something! Bendy straws! Quick, Leshawna! Help me make a snorkel!"

(Mission Impossible theme song plays as Chris looks on nervously until Harold opens the hatch draining both things of water winning the challenge for his team)


Confessional: Katie

"Yeah, there's a huge rift in the Gaffers team right now and most of us hate each other now. Let's see here Duncan and Courtney hate Harold and Leshawna really badly right now, Leshawna is furious with Brick, Jen is mad at Brick as well. We are just a damn mess."


Confessional: Courtney

"If that overweight, loud mouth Leshawna thinks she can take away my spa reward that I earned then she has another thing coming! When I say someone goes down, they go down."


Results of Challenge

(everyone was in towels after the previous challenge as Chris began announcing the results)

Chris: "Well, that was a pretty exciting day, huh? Looks like another reward and immunity win for the Gaffers. Seems like the Grips are a tad overdue. But good news for the Grips you don't have to vote anyone off."

Topher: "You don't mean."

Chris: "Yep Topher I do, we have deemed Lightning's injury too severe to continue, he is by the red carpet if anyone wants to say goodbye to him."

Amy: "I am gonna go, if anyone wants to join me or whatever."

Geoff: "I'll go." (both leave)

Chris: "As for the Gaffers we were gonna send you on a trip to British Columbia in an inn by a volcano, but I am assuming you guys would rather not?

Duncan: "Yeah, no thank you Chris."

Leshawna: "We'll take some chips and soda and that's it."

Chris: "Okay fair trade. Means more money for me."


Confessional: Duncan

I can't believe we were actually gonna drown. Did the producers lose their minds?! But, it would've been a pretty cool way to go, on national TV and all."


Confessional: Harold

"I had it all under control. I work best under pressure. Pressure? Get it? Water pressure? I'm hilarious. Even when my life is in danger. I know Leshawna messed up but I still have faith in her and I hope we can get back in a good spot, and I hope she can let go of this vendetta she has against Brick because today's challenge proved that Duncan and Courtney are never working with us."


Walk of Shame

(Right Outside Lame-O-Sine)

Amy: "Hey Lightning"

Geoff: "Feeling any better?"

Lightning "Sha-ow, no not really, I am hopped up on my pain meds from the incident, so I probably won't remember much of this, but I do know Lightning is out."

Amy: "You seem pretty beat up about the whole thing."

Lightning: "I am not used to losing is the thing, I have never lost anything in my life and to not even make it in the upper half of competitors is pretty sad."

Geoff: "Dude, it was an accident. Besides you have been a bro for me and good friend. Get better."

Lightning: "Sure thing, (Geoff leaves) hey Amy, I am sorry."

Amy: "What for?"

Lightning: "Always annoying you."

Amy: "It's fine, you were one of the few people who kept me sane on this lot. Geoff, and I will try and win this for you. Bye Lightning."

Lightning: "Bye." (enters Lame-o-Sine)

Amy: (sighs) "Bye."


Confessional: Amy

"Up until now I really have not cared who has left, even when I was out of the loop on the Trent vote off, it was Trent. I didn't care for him that much. But losing Lightning was definitely the first time I genuinely felt bad. Had I not lifted him up that wall he would still be here. Now I know I am on the bottom of the team with Geoff, who I still haven't decided how I feel about him. But if there is one thing I have learned is to never give up. Sammy, Beth, and Lindsay are going down, then I will crush Topher for dessert.


End of Episode

(With Beth and Topher outside the Boys trailer)

Beth: "You wanted to talk to me?"

Topher: "Yeah, I, I can't keep doing this thing."

Beth: (Confused) "Thing, what thing?"

Topher: "You flirting with me. Beth I consider you a friend but I think you should know that while I do like someone, it's not you."

Beth: "So wait, we aren't even friends?"

Topher: "No we are friends, it was one of the reasons why I couldn't tell you about this at first, as I didn't want to ruin our friendship."

Beth: "Who do you have a crush on, if you don't mind me asking."

Topher: "Promise me, you won't be mad."

Beth: (eye twitches) "Promise."

Topher: "It's Sammy, she is just so sweet and kind and I don't know we just click and we have known each other for a long time."

Beth: (Not convincingly at all) "Oh I am so happy for you."

Topher: "Great, well I am gonna go to bed, talk to you tomorrow Beth."


Confessional: Topher

"I actually think that went pretty well. Beth seemed to take that really well. I still maintain her and Sammy working together. This should keep going well.


Confessional: Beth

"Okay it may just be me being paranoid. But I always thought I was Topher's closest ally and we would take each other to Final 2, but him saying how close he is to Sammy is making me reconsider everything. I don't want to do something I regret, and I am not jealous in any way but maybe there is a way I can take Sammy out and still maintain Topher's loyalty."


Inside Boys Trailer

Topher: (Yawns) "I am beat time for bed."

Jay: "Hey."

Topher: "Eep! Dude you scared me!"

Jay: "Sorry."

Topher "What are you still doing up this late?"

Jay: "Can't sleep. I saw you talking with Beth."

Topher: "Oh yeah, you don't have to worry about that, she and I are just friends and I told her just now that's all she and I will ever be and she took it really well"

Jay: (Stuttering) "Oh…. that's great."

Topher: "You like her don't you?"

Jay: "I….I,.. (Sighs) yep, yeah I do."

Topher: "Dude that's great why haven't you asked her out?"

Jay: "Because most times girls that interact with me it's why are you sobbing, how many fingers am I holding up, what is your emergency contact?"

Topher: "Wow, just wow!"

Jay: "But Beth is the first girl who talks to me and is my friend and doesn't look down at me for all my adversity and bad luck I face in life. Look you are not gonna use me confessing this against me right?"

Topher: "No dude, I promise. My lips are sealed. But if you want, I can help you boost your confidence to the point you can ask her out?"

Jay: "I am confident enough."

Topher: "Really, then why is the paper bag there?" (points to paper bag by his bed)

Jay: "I am pathetic. But hold up, what's in it for me?"

Topher: ''Nothing, I boost your confidence up and we both promise to not vote each other out, if you wanna vote me out over Beth, I understand, and I would do the same for the girl I am crushing on."

Jay: "You have a crush? Who?"

Topher: "Sammy. I don't know how to tell her but I think I will soon."

Jay: "That's great. Night Topher."

Topher: "Good night."


Confessional: Jay

"Kind of nuts, I am putting all this trust in Topher to help me build my confidence up. For a girl who revealed who lives on a farm with animals I am probably allergic too. But she is just so amazing and having my life flash before my eyes made me realize that this crush is a legit one. But I need to build my confidence up.


Final Words: Lightning

"This sucks for Lightning. I would have loved a sports theme challenge, I would have loved to keep going. But deep down, I know this is probably the right call. I had so much more to prove to everyone and to be sent home like this is so crushing. Good luck to Geoff who was the only other guy I could relate to since we were both athletic. Also good luck to Amy, a good friend, even if a bit controlling. Sha-ow! I just feel so beaten down.

Author Notes:

So I imagine it is a bit of a shock to have Lightning out already. I originally had him planned to go much further than this but around the medical challenge, I realized there was not much I was doing with him and what I had planned for him I could do so much better with Geoff. But I didn't know where to send him out as I needed Trent out in the medical challenge, same with Dawn and DJ in the horror challenge, then came the disaster challenge in which I watched in prep for this chapter, and then watching Owen's jaw get broke gave me the perfect way to send Lightning home, as I always thought Owen should have gone home at that point due to his injury. Wasn't the best executed but I do think it turned out alright.

Other Notes:

Brick and Jen. Yeah Brick trying to kiss Jen was always gonna get outed in some way, and having Lindsay spilling without realizing the ramifications of it, is hilarious and one of my favorite ideas.

Leshawna's fake crying. That was also gonna get revealed this chapter no matter what but I needed to make sure to have Harold still defend her and also have Jen defend her since both went on the trip.

Jay, Topher, Beth, and Sammy. This is such a simple but complex group to write for, and I wanted things to finally take a turn and things to heat up as things are gonna hit the fan next week.

Amy. This chapter was meant to humanize her a bit as I don't want her to just be a pure villain and pain in the butt.

Next chapter is the war challenge and things will continue to heat up, all leading up to a shocking blindside.

Until next time, if you are reading this and have the ability too, please like, favorite, or especially leave a review. See you next time.
