Episode 21 Trial by Tri-Armed Triathlon
"Last time on Total Drama Island," Chris said on the dock as usual. "The campers got sent on a safari," The recap showed a clip of the seven trees in their traps. "They made like they were zookeepers" clips of Brenda and Christian successfully getting they're animals were shown. "Although," Molly was shown being tricked by the frog, "Some of them might wanna look at other careers," was said over a clip of Garry running from a bear. "Nick tried to form an alliance with Garry," a clip of Nick talking to Garry, "Then did a bunch of things that didn't really help his case," This was said over clips of him taking Garry's tranq gun and later shooting him with it. "In the end, Garry became the first person on Total Drama to be dq'd for bringing his game boy to the island," Garry was seen being shocked that he was dq'd. "This week our remaining six campers get wayyy too close for comfort," The recap ended and the shortcut back to Chris walking down the dock. "Will the Gopher alliance finally fall apart?" Will they make a comeback? And who will be voted off in the most dramatic bonfire ceremony yet? Find out tonight, on Total…Drama…island!"

The episode started with a shot of two cabins. The camera zoomed in on the girl's cabin and faded to a shot of Molly sleeping, and not very peacefully. She groaned and shook as the scene faded to the roof of a skyscraper at night.
"He's out there," she said via voice over. "I know it." an unknown male approached and caught her attention.
"Hello Molly," The man greeted in a very familiar and mocking tone.
"Nick!" Molly replied. "Your reign of terror ends here!" She yelled as she jumped forward to attack, Nick simply side-stepped to avoid her and she demolished a stone pillar that appeared seemingly out of nowhere.
"You'll have to do better than that." He mocked and she attacked again. He side stepped again and she demolished another stone pillar. This process repeated itself a few more times before she finally stopped. "Oh Molly," he said. "When will you learn? You'll never beat me. You can only become me."
"I wish I was you," she admitted. "You've been dominating this game."
He smirked, "You're right, But who survived this long with such a losing team?" he countered.
She looked around and to dismay, saw the pillars looked like several of the previously eliminated Gophers. The camera shifted to her viewpoint as she took in the crumbled remains of Stone Chelsea and Shawn. Jonathan, Donna and Louis. And finally, a destroyed stone of Garry. The Camera turned to it's side view as Molly fell to her knees with an anguished cry of "NOOOOOOOOO!" before a shout of "Shut up i'm trying to sleep!" snapped the shot back to her sleeping in the cabin, the sounds of a helicopter being heard. She shot up with a gasp and said, "Sorry Brenda."
Brenda replied, "Not you," rudely before pointing out the window "Him,"
The shot cut back to the Boy's cabin, where the three of them were all looking up with a mixture of confusion and annoyance. "Is it too much to ask that we get a normal wake-up?" Lamar asked.
"Yes," Christian said curly.
The camera cut to Chris in a helicopter. "Welcome back to Total Drama Island!" He announced over the blades. "Over the past six weeks, we've watched sixteen campers push themselves to the limit, only to get they're butts kicked off the island by their fellow campers. Sucks to be you," He began to list the campers kicked off and a short clip of them accompanied the names. "Wanda," she opened her mouth to Begin to talk, "Louis," He glared at other campers, "Donna" She threw a dodgeball, "Shawn," he read from Erica's diary, "Chelsea," she yelled at her teammates, "Annie" she arm wrestled Chef, "Jake," he threw the canoe oars in the fire, "Jasmine, she shot Christian with a paintball, "Evan," he tripped in the cooking challenge, "Jonathan," he wipes out at the Xtreme challenge, "Caroline," She argues with Brenda. "Allen" he played his guitar, "Erica" she kissed Allen on the cheek, "Faith," she yelled at Brenda, "Caleb," he was running back to Romona in the killer challenge, "Garry," he was laying out fish in a trail.
The shot skipped ahead to the host walking away from the copter. "Only six campers remain," he said. "And after six weeks of bugs, crappy camp food, and even nastier bathrooms, our six finalists are about this close to losing it" He held two fingers close together. "We found a bunch of ways to help the campers distress," he held up a pair of handcuffs, "But then decided it'd be way more fun to cuff em together and see if we couldn't punch,em over the edge,"
"Did Garry send Molly a gift from home?" Nick asked.
Molly scoweld. "At least I have someone who would send me gifts," She shot back.
Chris ignored the exchange, "It's all in the name of today's challenge. The Tri-Armed Triathlon"
"Tri armed?" Ramona asked. "Like, three of them?"
"Yes," The host answered with a smile. "Three challenges, three teams of two, three arms per team."
"Perfect," Christian said sarcastically. "I've always wanted to be a part of a chain gang."
Chris ignored him and continued, "Winning team members both get invincibility from tonight's vote,"

Confessional
Ramona - It's been a long six weeks, I feel like I'm the only one here who's not completely obsessed with the game. Nick keeps trying to get me into an alliance, Molly has become obsessed with the Gopher alliance lately. Lamar seems to only wanna talk about the game, and all Christian does is make Rude comments. Not to mention the fact that I'm scared of Brenda right now. I mean I want to win as well, but I intend on keeping my values as I do.
Lamar - Making it this far is awesome! But I just can't stop thinking about Caleb's elimination, and whether now is the time to take out one of the bigger threats in my alliance. Ramona and Molly aren't a threat to me, so I feel it could be in my best interest to vote with them. If I get Christian to vote with me, that's a four to two majority.
Brenda - The final six? I don't care at all, the only milestone that matters is first place.
Molly - I'm not feeling the best about my chances, every elimination left is gonna be a huge uphill battle to stay in the game.
Christian - I'm actually a little upset over Garry's disqualification the other day. I always knew where he stood and he seemed to want to vote with my alliance. I think I'm doing a great job of staying under the radar right now, so I'm not gonna change that.

The shot cut to the main lodge, where Brenda and Lamar were cuffed together. The camera panned to the left to show the other two teams, Nick and Molly and Christian and Ramona, were glancing at their own cuffs with annoyance and warryness especially.
"First of our three challenges!" The host said as the host pulled back to include him, "Competitive chow down!"
"Oh, is that all?" Molly asked, the camera focusing on her and Nick.
"I wouldn't get confident if I were you," Her partner warned. "With Chris we can always expect some twist."
The shot focused on Chris "Each team will have a feeder, and an eater." The camera showed each team looking thoughtful as the roles were announced. "The eater must put both hands behind they're back making it even more difficult for the feeder. One last thing. "This," he held up a gold key with a decorative skull, "is the wimp key." The shot cut to a pair of handcuffs against a yellow and orange background as the host continued, "A skeleton key that will open any handcuffs." The key tapped the cuffs and they opened.
"You'll be offered a chance to take the key before any challenge," Nick and Molly were both shown looking at the cuffs with a smile as Chris explained. "But, if you accept it, you'll both be eliminated."
"Enough of that," Brenda spat. "How do we win this?"
"Chef's getting platters for each team," The host explained. "Title goes to whoever finishes they're platter of delicacies fastest."
The shot focused on Lamar and Brenda. "Don't worry," she said in a mocking tone. "I'll eat so you don't have to upset your weak little stomach, She continued in the voice one would use to talk to a baby. Lamar glared.
Further down Molly had overheard the exchange and looked at her partner. "She has a point," she said. "I should probably be the eater,"
"Alright, Nick replied, "No arguments here."
The camera cut to Christian and Ramona. "So…." Ramona said awkwardly.
"I think i should do this one" Christian finished for her.
"Sure…." was all Ramona could say.

The scene skipped ahead to Chef placing trays of food on the table in front of teams. Each with four items: a cake covered in red sauce, something topped with tiny fruits, a bowl of something orange, and a green roasted chicken.
"Why is it green?" Molly asked in a near panic.
"I don't know," Nick replied with barely contained amusement. "But I have a feeling that I will enjoy this." Molly pulled her hands behind her back with enough force to pull her partner off her feet.
"And I enjoyed that," She told him with a smirk.
XXXXXX
The scene skipped ahead to Lamar quickly shoveling food into Brenda's mouth. "Gimme me 'ime a you" She said through the food and spoon.
"Do you wanna win or what?" Lamar shot at her.
Christian and Ramona were having a much easier time, but we're going considerably closer.
"I don't think we're gonna win this one," Ramona commented.
"Nope," Christian seconded.
"Speed up," Molly said as the camera cut to them.
"The goal is to get food in your mouth, not on the floor."
XXXXX
The shot cut back to Lamar and Brenda, Both covered with stains that for some reason didn't match the color of the food. "Woah, dow!" Brenda yelled with her mouth full of food.
It cut to Ramona and Christian, simply going at they're glacial pace.
The camera panned to Nick and Molly "This is getting tiresome," he said. "Take a deep breath,"
"Wait," Molly said. "What?" He grabbed her head and shoved her face into the tray of food, Ignoring her grunts of protest.
(Fade to Commercial)
The episode resumed with a shot of the main lodge. "The winners are," Chris said as the camera cut to him inside, "Nick and Molly!"
The camera focused on the two teens, Molly covered in stains glaring at her partner. "Don't be like that," he told her. "We won." She just scoffed.
Confessional
Molly - Do you know how long it's gonna take to clean my ears?
Nick - I would like to thank every camper for getting me to this point, I hope that we can let bygones be Bygones and vote for the best player to win at the end.
XXXXX
The scene cut to Christian and Ramona, Christian looking extremely queasy. "Well," Ramoa started. "At least we can still win the other two."
Christian's cheek's bulged and he promptly threw up on the floor, to Ramona's disgust. "It's in my shoes," Ramona said, annoyed.
XXXXXXX
Confessional
Christian and Ramona
"Hey, I'm really sorry about that," Christian told her.
"'It's cool," she said, seemingly recovered. "I use to live on a farm, so that's not the worst thing i've ever had in my shoes,"
"Do I wanna ask?"
"Please don't"" She said with a laugh
XXXXX
The static transitioned to the wimp key being waved around by Chris. The camera zoomed out and he said, "Last chance for the wimp key before part 2 two.
Lamar and Brenda looked at each other. "Nope," Both said.
Confessional
Lamar - There's no chance i'm giving up
XXXXXXX
"And the challenge is…." Christian asked.
"On the beach you will find three canoes," The camera panned to the boat's in question then back to Chris. "One for each team. Your challenge is to paddle each canoe, while wearing handcuffs," He paused to chuckle, "All the way to Boney Island." The camera panned to a shot of the skull cliffed island and back to the host." Once there you will open a package that is waiting for you. Go!"
It was at that moment he realized he should've gotten out of the way, as the six teens ran him over.
"I'm riding up front!" Brenda called as the two made the canoe.
"Not if you paddle like you eat," Lamar countered.
"Well if you paddle like you feed we'll lose for sure!"
Christian and Ramona were shown pushing they're canone into the water. Christian boarded it first and Ramona got in a moment later.
The scene cut to Molly and Nick. "Are you strong enough to be able to do this?"
Nick let out a bitter laugh, "If that's how you ask a question, then it will get you nowhere,"
The shot panned out to show Molly already in the canoe. "Yeah whatever," she said, "Hop in."
The shot skipped ahead to show Christian and Ramona in their canoe. "Out of curiosity," Christian said, "What exactly would you do with the money if you won?"
Ramona blinked in surprise. "I don't really know," she said honestly. "I don't think i will win,"
"It's the final six," Christian stated. "It's anyone's game at this point."
"I guess you're right," She said in realization. "Although some have a lesser chance then others,"
"True, but people who seem to be front runners today could easily be eliminated next," he told her. "Like Brenda or Lamar."
"That makes sense," she said, then added under her breath, "I guess,"
XXXXXX
The shot cut to Lamar and Brenda, who were arguing.
"I never realized it but you're actually freakin insane," Lamar told his partner.
"Well, atleast i do what needs to be done," She shot back.
"Sure!" He said sarcastically. "That's why you're boyfriend has been carrying you in the game,"
"What a good comeback," She mocked. "There's the beach."
XXXXX
The scene skipped to the six teens on a beach, each team with a backpack. Brenda and Lamar opened their pack and gasped in shock when Lamar pulled out a piece of the cursed idol.
The camera cut to Chris in a helicopter in the sky. "Welcome to the second part of the second challenge!" He announced in a megaphone. The shot flashed back to the previous boney island challenge as he continued, "Back in episode eight, Faith stole the boney island tiki doll."
The flashback ended and the scene cut to Christian. "Then how do you have it?" he asked.
"We took it," Chris said, and the camera came back to him. "We needed something to make the challenge more fun for us. The pieces in those bags have to be put back in the Cave," The shot cut to the entrance of a dark cave, "Of Treacherous Terror" it flashed back to Chris. "And you'll wanna make it quick, because the longer you have the doll, the worse your luck."
The camera cut back to the beach. "Oh yeah!" the host added. "One of you has to piggyback the other. Enjoy!" He said as he flew off.
"Hop on M'lady," Nick said to his partner with a wink. Molly smirked, then jumped on his back with more force needed, knocking him to the ground.
"Giddy up horsey," she giggled. He groaned in frustration and started off
Brenda looked at her partner expectedly. "What?" he asked.
"I did the work last challenge," she said bitterly. "It's your turn."
"You were the one who lost for us," he countered. "So you do it."
The shot cut to Christan and Ramona as the others continued to argue. "So, how do you wanna play this?" he asked.
"My dad used to be a farmer," she told him with a smile as she lowered herself for him to get on. "We're good."
Christian smiled. "Sweet."
XXXXXXXXX
The scene skipped ahead to Lamar and Brenda in the woods. He dumped her on the forest floor and turned around. "What is your problem?" she asked bitterly.
"You're a bully," he told her. "That's my problem. All you do is make everyone miserable. Not to mention what you did to Allen and Erica."
"You mean what Nick did?" She snarked. "Listen, I'm here to win, and I need a partner that won't throw a challenge.
"Too bad," he replied smugly. "I need a partner that isn't completely heartless."
"So you're just gonna sit there and lose to vote me out?" She asked with her hands on her hip.
"Nope," he said simply. Brenda growled in frustration. "I just wanted you to know why I don't like you."
XXXXXXXX
The scene cut to the edge of the cave. Nick and Molly trudged to the cave, only to chased by a group of wooly Beavers.
The next team to show up was Brenda picking up Lamar to the cave. She was about to walk in when a piece of the idol flew over her head into the cave. "Where did that come from?" Lamar asked.
"Oh, now you care?" Brenda spat.
The camera panned back to Chistian and Ramona, both smiling at each other.
XXXXXXXXX
Confessional
Ramona - Christian's actually pretty cool, we talked a lot, and i'm gonna vote with him at the next ceremony.
Christian - That was easy.
XXXXXXX
The static transitioned to a shot of Chris. "And that's a point for the Christian and Ramona dream team!" he announced. The shot briefly cut to them as they shared a high five behind a table of something under a purple sheet. It cut back to the host as he talked. "Been a heck of a day: moldy food fights, cornivarious beavers. But, it's time for someone to win this thing." he walked over to Nick and Molly behind a similar table. "Point each to everyone but Lamar and Brenda who, could still pull out a win." The camera panned to the 2 in question as they glared at each other. "Today's final challenge is," he pulled the sheet to reveal a bunch of familiar heads.
Molly gasped in surprise and Nick chuckled. "No need for that. It's just Chelsea." he looked again, "Although it is a freighting image."
"The totem pole of Shame and Humiliation," Chris announced as the shot cut to a finished totem pole with Garry on top and Wanda on the bottom. "Your task? Assemble the heads in the order your comrades were voted out," The shot cut back to him. "Unless," He held up the key, "You want the wimp key! Time for heads to roll." He blew a whistle to start the challenge.
XXXXXXX
The scene skipped ahead to Nick and Molly. They had only done up to the fourth elimination. "Shawn's next," Molly said. "He read Erica's diary and got voted off."
"Ah shawn," Nick said looking at his carving. "You were a good looking guy, but very stupid."
"Wait," she said. "How do-"
"I talked with him during the awake a thon," he admitted. "Not the sharpest tool in the shed."
"Yeah, but at least he has time to look at himself now," She said.
"I feel the same about Annie with her weightlifting,"
XXXXXXX
The shot cut to Christian and Ramona having an easier time of things. "Chelsea was next," Ramona said, putting her former rival's head on the totem pole. "Then Annie."
Christian added, "Then Jake, Jasmine and Evan."
"Then Jonathan," Ramona finished. "Are we at the merge already?"
"Let's see what the loser team is up to" Chris said walking to Lamar and Brenda. He saw them standing without looking at each other. "What happened here?"
Lamar turned around, "Nothing interesting."
Chris just started laughing. "Man, this is one of the saddest fights i've seen all season." I guess Mr never gives up ain't so-" he was interrupted by a Chelsea head hitting him in the face.
Lamar looked up to his partner with a blank expression. "He's right, I'm not even the one who planned the Erica and Allen thing, Brenda admitted, sounding more like her normal self.
Lamar was shocked. "Who planned it then?" He asked.
The camera panned to Nick and Molly. "Ah Garry," he said Condescindely. "One of my prouder achievements"
"We're not there yet," Molly said irately.
"Sure, but I must admire another competitor, flipping on your alliance and then getting Dqed?
"Yeah and you're just perfect," Moly added sarcastically. "Stop with the ego."
"He was gonna go home anyway, He was too good of a player to keep around. Nothing personal."
"Except it is personal," she shot back. "Because these are people you are messing with."
"And is it any different when you do it?" He asked smugly. "Like with Jonathan?"
"I voted for him cause he stole from us, it doesn't mean that i messed with him,"
"All the better when your boyfriend Garry is the one that messes with him. You get to keep your hands clean.
"You know what? I want the wimp key Chris!" She yelled as she started pulling Nick.
"Hold up!" he protested. "Wait!"
"We have a winner!" Chris announced, grabbing they're attention. "Christian and Ramona take it." The camera cut to the host holding up the hands of both winners. "They've got invincibility tonight so you can't vote for them,"
"We make a great team," Ramona said.
"Yeah," he agreed. "I guess we do,"
XXXXXXX
Confessional
Molly - I hate Nick so much! If anyone but him wins then it'll feel just as good as winning.
Nick - As I said, nothing personal.
XXXXXXX
The scene skipped ahead to the elimination ceremony. "You've all cast your votes and made your decisions," Chris said to the campers. "Whoever doesn't receive a marshmallow must walk the dock of shame to catch the boat of losers. That means you are out of the contest. And you can't come back. Ever. The first marshmallow goes to…Ramona"
"Christian,"
"Three marshmallows but only 4 campers. The next one goes to…Molly.
"Brenda."
Both of them looked confident that they weren't leaving. "Wow both of you seem confident, let's see who's right."
XXXXXX
Nick - You can't go any further, you are the biggest threat to me.
XXXXXXX
Molly - I've waited for this moment for a long time, finally you will be gone.
XXXXXX
Ramona - I'm sorry, but this is what Christian wants and I agree with him.
XXXXXXXX
Christian - This is the hardest vote I've had to cast in the competition. It kills me to do this.
XXXXXXXX
Lamar - You are the smartest person here, also you are a heartless manipulator, that's why you have to go.
XXXXXXXXX
Brenda - My plans haven't changed.
XXXXXX
"We're left with just one marshmello," Chris said to the campers. "And either Nick or Lamar is about to go home."
"Just get it over with," Nick said, with an irritated tone
"Fine, spoil the moment," Chris said. "The last marshmallow to….Nick. Lamar, time for you to go bro.
"What?" Lamar said in shock. He turned to the others and added, "But how?"
Nick shrugged. "It appears that Molly wanted you gone," he said.
"Don't play that (Beep) with me," Molly shouted. "I didn't vote for him!"
"So that mea-" Lamar said. "Christian betrayed me?!
"I'm sorry man" Christian said sadly, barely able to look at Lamar.
"What about you Ramona?"
"It was nothing personal, I just had to do it if I wanted to win."
Lamar sighed and stood up. He walked to the dock of shame without saying goodbye to anyone.
"Well," Molly said with a matter of fact tone. "Now I know where I stand."
Author's Note: Lamar was very fun to write for, as was his friendship with Christian. I always planned for Christan to vote him out and I feel I handled the "Betrayal" well.
