Challenge written by Zoryan El Muerto
"Last time on Total Drama Sakamannano Island!" Drew announced as the camera opened up on him, "Our Malihinis took a little trip out to see to go and fish the most dangerous aquatic game, that's right, a shark! Tensions on the Frogs between Timothy and Melissa worsened while the Chickens got along pretty well together, well, except for King, who peaced out to do whatever it is King does. Come the end of the challenge, Wane's attacking our interns while Melissa and Paige have a shoot off to see who can destroy our robot shark, with Melissa winning it for the Frogs... which would've been the case if King didn't fight off a real shark and get injured in the process. Oh well, that's long in the past, now we've gotta see who's gonna win this episode of Total... Drama... Sakamannano Island!"
Intro Start
Multiple cameras popped out from surfboards, tiki torches, statues of Drew, and other objects on the island. The camera then flew past Drew, Pamela, and Hack, with the former two arguing about something and the latter drinking from a barrel of rum.
"Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine, You guys are on my mind." The Camera went up the dead volcano, revealing Kaito setting up some of his stargazing equipment, and Vanessa helping him out.
"You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see." The camera jumped down into the volcano, where Timothy was listening in on Kaito and Van's conversation with a radio. In addition to Timothy being there, Wane was checking the cages of shame for any lost coins or valuables.
"I wanna be famous." Wane dusted off one of the cages, revealing that Alex somehow got trapped inside. Wane tipped the cage over and kicked Alex out, before hopping inside of it to search for valuables.
"I wanna live close to the sun." The camera then made a cut to inside the mess hall, where Kodi was teaching Will how to play Chambers and Beasts at a table, with Will shaking his head and pretending to understand how to play the game.
"So pack your bags, 'cause I've already won." The camera moved outside where Melissa and Beatrice were chatting together.
"Everything to prove, nothing in my way." To the left of Melissa and Beatrice, May was walking until Paige jumped out of the bushes, scaring the daydreamer.
"I'll get there one day." The camera moved towards the nearby Hilahala hut, where Wyatt and Flora were both petting Spirit's belly.
"Cause I wanna be famous." On the other side of the area where the Haaheo mansion was, Klaas and King were playing a match of poker, with almost all of the chips being on King's side.
"Na Na Na Na Na Na Na Na." Moving away from the hut and the mansion, Persephone and Sasha could be seen arguing about something.
"I wanna be, I wanna be famous." The camera jumped over to the beach of the island, where an oil-covered Brandon could be seen fixing up an old boat. Behind him, Elizabeth was pretending to be a scarecrow.
"I wanna be, I wanna be famous." Finally, the camera moved over to Becky, who was writing down song lyrics in a notepad. Becky turned around and noticed the camera, elbowing it to the ground for privacy. The shot was then cut to Buck, Mitch, Carlton, and Billy, who all set the camera down for the final shot, as they got the camera in position they ran behind Drew, causing the camera to flash and take a photo of all of everyone previously seen. The screen moved back to show the photo on a postcard that read 'Aloha from Hawaii!" with whistling accompanying it.
Intro End
The camera opened up on an unconscious King sitting in the island's medical tent, he had an IV tube connected to him to make sure he would be fine in his unconscious state. While the unconscious Prince laid in bed, Billy and Carlton watched over him silently to not disturb him.
"So... it's the next challenge, did we get a plan for him yet?" Carlton asked the others.
Billy shrugged, "Who knows, it doesn't seem like he's gonna wake up anytime soon, we're either gonna have to give him a free pass through this challenge and medivac him."
Carlton went over to King to check on him, "Yeah he does look pretty beat up, guess we're gonna have to send him aw-"
Carlton was cut off by King suddenly bursting to life and grabbing him by the throat, King rose up out of his bed and glared at the interns, completely ignoring the pain his body was in, "Perfection doesn't get cheated out."
Carlton wheezed as King let go of him, "Looks like he's fine guys... jeez.. dude take a chill pill or something!"
Becky sighed as she picked at the food Mitch and Buck had made for breakfast, she didn't feel like eating it, and she wasn't going to.
"Well, you seem down today." A voice called from behind Becky, causing her to groan in the annoyance of having to talk to someone.
Becky turned around, "Who is it?" Becky turned to see none other than Brandon going to sit down next to her.
"Sup?" Brandon greeted her.
"What do you want?" Becky rolled her eyes.
Brandon shrugged, "I just wanted to check up on a former teammate, I just felt like connecting with some of you guys, you know? Besides, you look miserable today, no offense."
"I'm fine." Becky got up and went over to a different table, only for Brandon to follow.
Brandon held his hand out, "Hey, don't be like that, I'm not trying to pry into your deepest feelings or anything, I just wanna talk."
"You get a minute" Becky crossed her arms.
"Good enough I suppose," Brandon chuckled, "So, how are you doing, is Timothy annoying you or something? I noticed you yelling at him... a lot, actually."
Becky groaned again, this time at the thought of Timothy, "Oh god where would I begin about that creep? He's a complete loser who gets off on digging into other people's belongings. I'm hoping you guys vote him out next to you lose."
Brandon nervously laughed, "I... uh... can't guarantee that for you, sorry. But I didn't think he'd be so bad that you be so angry looking like you are now, is something else the matter? Be-"
"Minutes up." Becky shooed Brandon away, "This conversation is over."
"Huh... so it is." Brandon shook his head at his failed attempt to socialize with his old teammate.
"Ok so Timothy, I know it's your hobby, and I shouldn't judge you... but maybe you should try toning down the cameras that you use? Melissa doesn't seem to appreciate it, and they do feel somewhat... invasive." Flora told Timothy who was cleaning the lens of a camera.
"No way!" Timothy cradled the camera, "These are the only advantages I got in this game! I can't just stop using them!"
Flora giggled at Timothy's overreaction, "Oh come on, it can't be that bad without them... besides, you said in the ATV challenge you were worried about getting eliminated right? What better way to get everyone on the team to appreciate you then you sacrificing something for them." Flora suggested, "You won't have to worry about being voted out then."
Timothy thought it over, he wanted to stay in, but getting rid of his hook to the truth would hurt him deep, "I will... think about it..."
"That's great to hear... I know it's gonna be hard for you, but I'm sure you'll-" Flora was cut off by Drew sounding off an airhorn and sliding into the mess hall.
"Malihinis! Guess what time it is?" Drew asked, "Challenge time! Get your sorry butts down to the beach in the next ten minutes or else!" Drew began to leave before he smacked himself on the head in realization, "Oh, and King has returned from his medical coma finally, I'm sure you're all happy to hear that! Carlton sure wasn't!" Drew laughed as King entered the hall.
While King was back from his injured state, it did have some lasting effects, for starters he was walking with a crutch and his arm was in a sling, but he also had bandages over his body and had a temporary eye patch on. None of that seemed to deter the Prince, however, as he looked as apathetic as ever. Behind that apathy was an air of confidence, however, as King was thinking one thing to himself, "Finally, I have a real challenge for once. Let's see if I can beat these pieces of trash with a severe handicap... this'll be fun..."
Confessional: Van
"I feel kinda bad for that guy, not gonna lie." Van shuddered at the thought of King's injuries, "Dude's a jerk but he didn't deserve that... now I feel really bad for not helping him out in that challenge."
Confessional Over
Both teams met up with Drew and the others at the beach, where they found the three standing in front of a mountain of building supplies, trash, and a few luxury items. "Come on in jabronis!" Drew called as the teams stepped on their respective mats. "Alright, for today's challenge, you guys will be using whatever you find in this pile," he gestured to the trash mountain "To build the best storm bunker and-"
Pamela then added, "You'll be judged on three factors. Style, creativity, and functionality."
"That is correct Pam." Drew said before looking at her, "Also please don't interrupt me again."
Pamela rolled her eyes, as Hack turned to her and told her "Arrr let him have it, he loves this job of his."
Drew continued "Anyway, you guys will have three hours to complete your bunkers, and our resident lifeguard-"
"In training." Pamela corrected.
"-will be our judge, but first." Drew snapped his fingers as Carlton took a big stick and dragged it down to the ocean through the sand, dividing the teams into two halves, "Frogs will build their bunker on the west side of the beach, Chickens will take the east. If anyone on the opposite team tries to cross the barrier, you and your entire team will be disqualified, so don't try anything.
Drew and most of the cast all looked to Timothy, who huffed and crossed his arms indignantly "Oh screw you guys!"
"Also, every hour you will hear this sound," Drew said as Carlton pressed a button on a keyboard, which was a thunder crash. "This means that each team will send one player to either answer a trivia question or complete a task before the other player, the losing team will have to work with a handicap, while the winning team gets... nothing!" Drew explained the final part of the challenge. "Now with that out of the way your challenge begins in 3..."
The frogs got into ready positions.
"2..."
The chickens get into ready positions, especially King, who seemed more determined than usual.
"1..."
Billy fired off a blanks gun.
"GO!"
Both teams started off collecting building supplies for their bunker, grabbing planks of wood, metal sheets, power tools, and other stuff that will be included later.
Sasha and Paige could be seen carrying a couple of steel beams together while Wane searched for anything he can sell on eBay or keep for himself. Becky found a large metal sheet which she tried to pick up but ended up falling over on her back with the sheet on top of her due to its heavy weight. Wane then took some golden vases as he walked over to the sheet that kept Becky down. Becky groaned from underneath the metal sheet, "What do you want?" Becky asked in annoyance.
"Nothing, just to ask how the weather is down there." Wane mocked the singer, getting an intense glare from her in response.
Elizabeth and Melissa brought some drills to their building station along with some screws, meanwhile, Timothy brought a bunch of... ramen packets. "Really?" Melissa questioned with a blank stare.
"Don't underestimate the structural integrity of ramen!" Timothy exclaimed before going back for more supplies, getting a sigh from Melissa in response.
Elizabeth and Melissa then go back to get more supplies, Kodi then passed by them while struggling to carry a statue of a dragon. Flora also brought some PVC pipes as do Brandon and Beatrice.
"I've got a pretty good idea on what I want to build!" Flora told the duo of Brandon and Beatrice as she set down the pipes she carried.
Brandon stretched his arms out as he and Beatrice also set down their pipes, "Oh yeah, me too, I'm actually really confident in winning this one!"
Sasha and Paige began discussing their bunker ideas, as Sasha suggested as she looked over at a shovel that Van had brought with them, "Alright since we're building storm bunkers our best bet is to dig a hole and build our bunker underground."
"Alright, I'll start digging." Paige took the shovel before she started to dig, Sasha meanwhile used a long PVC pile to trace the dimensions of their bunker.
"Huh..." Paige already began to tire out from digging, "Digging a hole is a lot harder than I thought it'd be."
"Yeah, once you get past the surface the rock below becomes much more stu-" Sasha turned around to see Paige had barely broken the soil on the ground, "...maybe we should leave you with grabbing materials."
On the other side, Brandon had already made the outline for the frogs' bunker in the sand, "Alright, got the dimensions, I've never thought about building a... building before, but I just treated it like an advanced car." Brandon joked as the other team members planted three wooden beams in the corners and the dragon statue that Kodi brought.
Elizabeth then told them, "Alright, Melissa and I will work on the northern wall, Brandon and Beatrice you guys can work on the south wall, Kodi and Flora west wall, and Timothy you take the east."
"Why am I the only one not getting a partner?" Timothy complained.
"Just get to building you brat." Melissa snapped as she and Elizabeth were propping up a metal sheet for their wall, just then Melissa noticed Flora's deadpanned expression out of the corner of her eye, "I mean... uh... because with how you've done you don't need a partner." Melissa twitched her eye in annoyance at saying this to Timothy.
Timothy blinked at hearing this too, "Huh? I mean... uh. Whatever." Timothy just got to work as he pulled over a bag of ramen packets and a wagon full of cameras.
Confessional: Timothy
"What was that about?" Timothy scratched his head, "What did Elizabeth tell her to cool it down or something?"
Confessional Over
"Why?" Melissa questioned the cameras that Timothy was taking with him.
"Duh, so that it can catch the chickens trying to sabotage us." Elizabeth theorized.
Timothy looked to the captain, "Um, sure that's totally what I was going for." Timothy nervously chuckled as he turned the camera away from the inside of the perimeter, so it faced the chickens. He then tried to turn one of the cameras in the direction of Melissa, but Flora stopped him and turned it back to the chickens.
"Wrong way silly!" Flora chuckled as she stopped Timothy's snooping.
"Yeah..." Timothy nervously chuckled, not wanting to turn his only 'friend' against him.
Confessional: Timothy
"Flora said something like I need to take it down a notch when it comes to my truth-seeking, says I'm being 'too invasive'." Timothy put up air quotes, "I've already removed all the cameras in the confessional... for now... isn't that taking it down a notch?" Timothy groaned, "But if I have to keep the good graces I have with my team, and not give Melissa any reason to vote me off then fine."
Confessional Over
Confessional: Brandon
"I've noticed that there's not enough wood or metal in the pile so the rest of us had to improvise with whatever we found, like these old 1965 Corvette hoods." Brandon groaned as he struggled to lift a few of them up, "You know I could actually use one for my carrier." Brandon strained as he fell to the floor of the confessional.
Confessional Over
Brandon planted one of the car hoods he found on the border between his and Beatrice's part of the bunker, while Beatrice wore a pair of gloves as she lined up giant plastic fish between the car hood and wooden beams.
"How are you doing?" Brandon asked as he dusted his hands off.
Beatrice looked around at all the sea-themed decorations she could find, "Good for now, I'm really hoping I can turn this into an underwater paradise though... that would... perfect." Beatrice smiled at the thought.
Brandon shrugged as he headed off to the pile, "I'm sure you'll be able to do it, you did pretty good whenever you helped me and Wane with building that ATV, speaking of which, we should go back to that sometime soon."
"Oh anytime!" Beatrice gave a thumbs up, "I'm always glad to help!"
Confessional: Beatrice
"It's nice having a friend like Brandon here on the island." Beatrice smiled, "He's just a pretty cool guy to hang around. Plus I don't have to deal with..." Beatrice let out an annoyed sigh, "Melissa and Timothy. I'm fine with them both, but man does their arguing get annoying, sometimes, I'm just waiting for one of them to ask us to vote the other out."
Confessional Over
Meanwhile, Kodi and Flora propped up their wall which they connected to the beam and dragon statue Kodi had grabbed.
"So what do you plan on decorating the wall with?" Kodi asked Flora.
"Oh, I was actually thinking of adding some of these pretty flowers I found that were still intact around the dump." Flora held up a pot with a healthy-looking tiger lily and other beautiful flowers. "Aren't they pretty?"
"Why yes, they really do look pretty." Kodi nodded as he stuck old dragon plushies on the wall with hot glue, "Your name really fits you."
"Why thanks," Flora smiled as she attached a brick basket and filled it with dirt before placing the lily and a few rose bushes into the plantar, "Uhm Kodi?" Flora grew look of concern.
"What?" Kodi tilted his head in confusion."
Flora pointed at Kodi's hand, which was now hot glued to a dragon plush, "I think you should pay attention to what you're gluing."
Kodi turned around and looked at his hand, "Oh, whoopsie..." The pain then suddenly set in, "AH GET IT OF GET IT OFF GET IT OFF!" Kodi waved his hand around as he ran to the nearest source of water to wash the glue off.
BOOOOOOOM
Drew suddenly announced on a megaphone, "That sound means it's time for the first mini-game of the challenge, both teams better send one person to the center of the field!"
"Here!" Paige appeared beside Drew, causing him to leap into Pam's arms as Elizabeth went up to the plate.
"Alrighty, now." Drew then held up a flash card, "Pam will ask you both the same question, and whoever gives me the most right answers will not receive a handicap." both girls got ready to answer.
Pamela was handed the flashcard to read "Name five exotic vegetables."
Paige tapped her chin, "Huh, that's a hard one-"
Elizabeth quickly answered as Paige spoke, "Kohlrabi, romanesco, oca, sunchokes, and celeriac."
"Correct," Pamela said. The Frogs, minus Kodi, cheered as Paige snapped her fingers "Now Paige has to use only her non-dominant hand." Billy and Carlton then tied Paige's right arm behind her back.
"Actually, I'm ambidextrous," Paige grinned cockily only for Carlton to tie her left hand behind her back as well, "Oh."
While Paige was dealing with her handicap, Elizabeth returned to her team, "How did you know those?" Beatrice asked.
"I tried some of those at the International Farmer's Convention," Elizabeth shrugged before she went back to her team, as did Paige who grabbed a hammer with her mouth and tries to bang in a couple of nails.
"Need some help, Paige?" Van went over to the archer.
"(I'm good)" Paige said as she finally hit the nail on the head. "(Just dig the hole for me, please)"
"Well alright." Van shrugged before she went to the small hole in the ground Paige left and began to dig the hole their bunker will occupy.
Meanwhile, Becky was now struggling to pull over a large wooden beam, she tried to lift it over her shoulder before she falls down with the beam on top of her. Sasha goes over to help Becky before Becky slapped the brainy bombshell's hand away "Hands off weak blood, I don't need your help!" Becky flailed her legs as she tried to lift the heavy wooden beam.
"Are you sure?" Sasha asks as she heared Becky's stomach rumbling before the screaming metal musician punched her stomach to shut it up.
"Just get back to working on your side of the bunker!" Becky crowed before she finally managed to slip out of the wooden beam by kicking it with her metal-toed boot and going back into the junk pile for something else. After that, Becky managed to get a good grip on the beam and began to set up her part of the bunker.
Sasha groaned as she pinched the bridge of her nose.
Confessional: Sasha
"From what I gathered; Becky is raising up to rank three on who to send home before the merge, I was thinking of doing Paige over her due to her unpredictability, but her rage seems to have gotten worse, plus with how little she ate during lunch today. The evidence leaves no other conclusion for what ails her." Sasha sighed, "Luckily for her, however, Wane is the worst of us all, say what you want about King, but at least he's mostly quiet."
Confessional Over
Confessional: Becky
"Augh! When will Sasha just leave me be?!" Becky crossed her arms.
Confessional Over
Confessional: Timothy
"I think I figured out the secret that Becky's trying to hide from us... she's allergic to wood!" Timothy was then hit in the head by a brick that Becky tossed through the window of the confessional. "OW!"
Confessional Over
Around the hour and 20-minute mark, the sunny skies on the island were slowly replaced by a swarm of dark grey clouds, a storm was starting to brew on the island. Both teams heard thunder crashes as Kodi, Flora, and Timothy all flinched at the loud booming sound effect, on the other hand, the Chicken's mostly ignored the storm except for Becky, who seemed to be pretty happy about the gloomy weather. The hosts and interns looked up as water begin to fall in little droplets at a rapid rate. In layman's terms, it started to rain.
"Arr, looks like a storm's brewing." Hack stated as he took off his hook and replaced it with an umbrella that barely covered his head.
"Why did no one told me it would rain?" Drew questioned.
"I tried telling you multiple times," Pamela told him, "I left like you a dozen emails too."
"Who reads emails anymore?" Carlton questioned, "Why didn't you just text him?"
Pamela grinned as she responded, "Because he's old."
Drew gasped at Pamela, "I am not old!"
"Should we call off the challenge?" Billy asked Drew.
"Eh, it's just a little drizzle. Nothing to be worried about." Drew waved off, "Besides, what better way to test out these storm bunkers than with a real storm?"
"I don't know, the weather channel said it's gonna get worse as the day goes on." Pamela added in.
As they were discussing the ramifications of having the challenge finish in stormy weather, Brandon found a large tarp, "Hey guys, I think I found something to keep us dry!" he pulled the tarp, but it just so happened to stay on the line that seperates the two teams' sides and Wane grabbed the other end of the tarp.
"Not so fast! I claim this tarp in the name of Team Wane!" Wane proclaimed as he and Brandon pull on both ends of the tarp in a game of tug of war.
Watching this Drew interrupted them through his megaphone, "Boys, whoever gets that tarp fully into their zone claims it for their team. Try not to cross the border, or you will suffer a handicap! Oh yeah, that's right, surprise mini-game!"
BOOOOOOOM
Brandon tried to pull on the tarp, but Wane planted his feet and leaned back. "HAHA! Just give up Brandy Boy, I have the strength of a hundred men!" Wane bragged
Brandon knew his adversary and mechanic 'buddy' had him beat in strength and viciousness; he knew to win this battle he needs to use his wits and clever thinking. Brandon looked to the side, "Hey is that penny?"
"Where?!" Wane exclaimed as he let go of the tarp, letting Brandon fall back with the tarp on his face as Wane picked up a penny, "Nope, just a bottle cap." Wane then realized that he was tricked. "Damn it!" Wane saw Brandon taking the tarp back to his team, "Well played young old friend." he smiles proudly. Wane then turned to the camera, "What? I can like people."
"Wane, you're no longer allowed to use proper materials anymore, and have to use anything that isn't made out of wood or metal." Drew announced.
Wane laughed, "Oh I thought I was getting a handicap not some encouragement!"
"Man, we're not doing good on these minigames." Van rubbed her head as she finished digging the hole for the team, "We'd best step it up before we lose more than we can handle."
"(Yeah)" Paige was still trying to hit nails with a hammer in her mouth, "(Working without hands is very hard)"
King rolled his eyes as he carried a fancy-looking rug with one arm, "Failures." King mumbled to himself as he set the rug down in his section of the bunker.
Closing in on the halfway point in the building time, the Frogs were laying down the tarp over their bunker, hammering in the corners to each of the four posts. Luckily the tarp was big enough to cover the whole thing and the dragon statue. Brandon began cutting a slit down one side for Beatrice to add in a Velcro strap so they could go in and out of the tarp, "There we go, all set." Brandon told the frogs.
"You heard him guys, now let's go get back to building." Elizabeth told her team as they entered the tarp opening, with Elizabeth carrying the power tools, Melissa carrying the screws and nails, Flora pulling a wagon full of flowers, Timothy with more cameras, Kodi with some broken action figures, Beatrice a ukelele and a bunch of tall grass she picked, and Brandon with some hammers and screwdrivers.
As for the Chickens they had just finished putting up two walls as King propped up a rusted sword on the wall for decoration, before going back to the pile of trash to find anything else that would look good for his standards.
Becky finally joined them with a bucket of stock records, which Sasha saw, "Um, Becky are you sure-"
"Don't talk to me." The rocker just exclaimed as she started to line the north side with records.
"But-" Sasha began but was cut off.
BOOOOOOM
"And that sound means it's the halfway point of this challenge, which means its another mini-game for an advantage!" Drew announced on his megaphone, "Can I get both teams to come to the border?" Both teams arrived as the wind started and the rain picked up. "Alright, first, Carlton, untie Paige."
Carlton freed Paige's arms, "Thank you." The archer stretched her arms out.
"Now, for this part. Both teams will be pulling each end of this Texas bull rope." Drew announced as the interns brought a bull rope with a red flag that hung from the center. "And you will all pull until all the members of the opposing team are over the line, and yes I mean all members, if one of you gets pulled off the line, you can still be saved."
"But won't be suffering a penalty for that?" Elizabeth questioned.
"Exactly, that being that for the rest of the challenge your team is not allowed to use any of your tools for the rest of the building process." Drew told them, he then snapped his fingers which ordered the interns to gather up all the tools they grabbed. "Alright, you have thirty seconds to get yourselves a strategy for this must-win mini-game."
The Frogs then huddled up, Melissa spoke "Okay guys, I have a plan that can get us the win here."
"What does Little Miss Not Trustful suggest?" Timothy mocked before he was given a soft elbow in the gut by Flora, "I mean... go on." Timothy sighed as he held his rib.
Melissa sighed at Timothy's insult, "Okay look, at every pep rally my school has had, I would lead my class to victory in tug of war. By following this procedure."
Her voiceover took place as both teams grabbed the rope and were strapped to the rope by the interns, "The order is everything, so we need a strong leader to take the front." Elizabeth was at the front for the frogs and Wane was at the front for the chickens.
"Hehe, you should have stayed on your post little scarecrow." Wane cackled.
"Meanwhile at the back, we placed our strongest member, like the anchor of a ship." Brandon was in the back for the Frogs, as was King for the chickens. He held the very end of the rope. "Everyone behind the leader must keep their eyes on the back of the front person's head. Each person must alternate between being on the left and the right side of the rope, keep the rope clenched into your armpit, and both feet spread apart." The frogs order went Elizabeth, Melissa, Flora, Timothy, Kodi, Beatrice, and Brandon, while the Chickens were Wane, Sasha, Becky, Van, Paige, and King.
Drew held the rope at the center, "Alright, when I say go you all let... GO!" Drew released the rope as both teams started to pull. The chickens pulled with Wane pulling over his shoulder.
Despite that, the Frogs weren't budging as they leaned themselves back, "Immediately at the start, you must lean back as far as you can. Until you're looking up at the sky, with your head near the crotch of the person behind you. No matter what you must stand your ground."
The chickens keep pulling and pulling, but the frogs still remain in their position. "COME ON!" Wane exclaims as he heaves the rope with the other chickens pulling as hard as they could. "PUT YOUR BACKS INTO IT!" Wane ordered the other Chickens, but it was pretty clear Becky and Paige were struggling the most.
"We are!" Becky replied as she tried to pull the rope back too.
"Then pull harder!" Wane demanded.
"I'm pulling as hard as I can you idiot!" Becky complained.
"I don't know how much longer I can keep this up!" Flora exclaimed as she felt herself go forward a bit.
"Just a little longer." Melissa told her, "When they start to tire out, we can make our move."
Elizabeth kept her eyes on the Chickens, her team depending on her for the signal, and that comes when Wane bends a knee, and the other chickens that were struggling dropped to a knee. "NOW'S OUR CHANCE!" Melissa shouted.
The frogs then immediately began to pull on the ropes, dragging the chickens towards the line. The chickens in a panic tried to pull back, back their energies were considerably drained from the frogs' strategy. Timothy commented to Melissa as they pulled Wane toward the line, "Wow one of your ideas was actually useful!"
"Just shut up and pull!" Melissa struggled with the rope
"Outstanding, the Frogs seem to have the superior strategy and muscle in this bout." Drew announced.
"Arr.. I feel like Melissa took this plan from somewhere... a T.V. show of some kind." Hack replied, "Though I forgot what it was called." [1]
Pamela then added, "I wouldn't count the chickens out yet, though they're down a man they still could make a comeback, with heavy lifters like Wane and King they could pull off a win."
Speaking of King he saw the rope was right at the end before he sighed, "Of course I have to do everything for them." King then dug his crutch into the ground, pulling the rope over his shoulder as his initiative turned the tables and now the Frogs were being pulled towards the line.
"NO!" Kodi plants his feet and tries to pull with more force.
Confessional: Kodi
"Curse my weak nerd arms!" Kodi cried.
Confessional Over
"YES!" Wane cackled, "This is power! Now you little froggies stand no chance against the might of Wane and his chickies!"
"None of us agreed to that name." Van deadpanned.
"And the chickens recovered from the early game hiccup, now they have the frogs on the ropes!" Drew laughed.
"Even so, it's never over when you think it is," Pamela tells him.
"What do we do what do we do what do we do!" Flora repeatedly questioned.
"I have an idea!" Timothy proclaimed.
Melissa groaned, "How will your cameras help us here!"
Timothy shook his head, "No, I mean we move forward!"
"Are you nuts!? That will bring us to the line!" Melissa shot down that plan.
"Just three steps! It's gonna knock them off balance!" Timothy adds.
"Guys we're getting closer!" Kodi warned them.
"Let's just try it Mel!" Elizabeth told her second in command.
"Ok fine, only because it's our last chance!" Melissa struggled with the rope.
"Yes!" Timothy fist-pumped causing the rope to go forward, "Alright... One..
"two..." Flora continues the count.
"three!" The frogs all let out a battle cry as they ran three steps to the line, with Elizabeth almost going over if not for Melissa pulling on the back of her collar.
This sudden movement caused all of the chickens, including King, to fall onto the backs and fronts.
"NOW! PULL BACK!" Timothy called as the froggies began to backtrack and pull on the ropes, bringing the chickens back to the line.
The fall left the chickens totally unable to get enough time to get back to their feet as they were pulled by the rope. "Nooooooo!" Wane cried as he was dragged over the line.
"Nuts." Sasha grumbled as she was pulled over.
"Grrrrrr," Becky growled as she too crossed the line.
"Dang it!" Van said as she went over the line.
"Well, good night everyone," Paige told the others as she almost went over they were all pulling with as much force as they could muster, but it was clear they're were going to lose.
King said nothing as he and the rest of the team tried to stop him and Paige from going over. King's foot was sliding forward as his hip was sharp with pain when something rang through his head, "Trash like usual." King groaned in anger as he kept his ground.
"I don't know how much longer we can hold out!" Sasha shouted out in a fake panic, "I'd hate to do this, but sometimes you gotta play dirty and make it look accidental." Sasha began kicking the sand ferociously, making her seem more panicked than she actually was.
"We got them!" Timothy shouted in joy.
But the Frogs joy would soon be crushed as Sasha kicked a bit of sand at just the right moment, her fake panic was just a ruse so she could kick the sand straight forward... and right into Elizabeth's eyes.
"Ah!" Elizabeth let go of the rope and grabbed her eyes, giving the rest of the Chickens the chance to get a good hold on the rope.
"She let go! Now's our chance!" Wane shouted out and pulled the rope backward, with one of the strongest Frogs now off the rope, it was a much easier time for the Chickens to win, especially with Kodi, Flora, and Timothy already ready to drop due to their physically weaker bodies. The Chickens took the rope back over to their side and and pulled all the Frogs with them, giving them victory for this game.
Carlton played a gong sound as Drew announced, "And the Chickens take the win, they get to keep their tools!" The interns gave the Chickens their tools back, "Frogs, good luck."
Time passed by with 5 minutes left for both teams; the Chickens got most of theirs done as it was a nice underground bunker with multiple different rooms to show off the personalities, Becky had her vinyl record-covered walls that had red paint covering them to look like blood, Sasha had a room that looked like a study, with an old bedside table next to a desk with a lamp on it and a chair pushed into it, as well as a dull color scheme to match her more intelligence-focused personality, Paige had a room covered with plants ripped from the island to mimic a jungle, King had a room that looked rather regal, with the fanciest items he could find neatly organized in the room, Van had a room with an old disco ball in it and neon furniture, and Wane... had a golden room... who'd figure?
The Frogs on the other hand weren't doing too bad themselves, yeah, their bunker wasn't perfect, especially since it need so much more support due to the lack of proper support via tools, but it still was functional, albeit a lot less diverse than what they original planned. The tarp covered over a complete frame, with multiple rooms being made for each member, Timothy had... ramen noodles as extra supports for his walls for some reason, as well as cameras everywhere, and Elizabeth had an old-fashioned room kept up with multiple perches, Kodi had a room covered with dragon plushies and old action figures, and if one where to look close enough, you'd see a framed picture of Kodi with a drawing of Will next to him, Beatrice's was the most organized of all the rooms, with it being a beautiful aqua-blue color and with it giving off a lovely oceanic vibe, Brandon had his car hood walls as well as multiple car ornaments set up as trophies, Flora had a room that looked like a greenhouse, and Melissa had a room that was half covered with posters of old sci-fi movies and half a little basketball hoop.
Becky returned to her team with more records to help her walls, but as she did, she gasped as she fell straight to her knees. Clutching her stomach as she felt a series of jackhammers pounding away at her torso, "No, not now." She grinded her teeth.
Hearing this Sasha went over to Becky, "You okay?"
"Yeah, you good girl?" Van went over as well, "You've been doing this a lot lately."
"Nothing to see here, just get back to building." Becky winced as another sting came in.
Sasha then stopped and clicked everything together, "Wait, it all makes sense now."
Van raised an eyebrow, "What does?"
"Yeah?! What the hell are you talking about?" Becky exclaimed as she stood up, the wind picking up as well as the rain, with a flash of lightning hitting a far part of the island.
"The cramps, the barfing, the stereotypical rich person microscopic sized portions during meals!" Sasha listed off as the other Chickens around her began to hear her as she had to yell so that Becky could listen to her. "Why you don't eat much, and why you have that bottle I saw you with the other day! You have-"
Becky's eye twitched with anger, "Don't you say it!" Becky threatened.
"Hey Sash... maybe you should keep it to yourself." Van tried to defuse the situation.
"Becky... you have anorex-" Sasha started, but something happened that caught everyone off guard.
POW
Becky punched Sasha straight in the face and knocked her to the ground. Paige and Van gasped, Wane took his eyes off his money for once, King raised an eyebrow in curiousity. The frogs meanwhile gasped as they overhead Becky's outburst, Sasha groaned as she held her nose, "What the hell, Becky?!"
"I told you to stay out of it!" Becky screamed at Sasha.
"Wait!" Paige came up to them, "Becky it this true that you have an eating disorder?" she asked the rocker, "Is that what's bothering you?"
Becky gritted her teeth, "So what, it's not your problem anyway! Why can't you just leave me alone!"
"Because-" Paige started but was stopped by Becky.
"Oh forget it, I don't need your excuses!" Becky retorted.
"Please, we can figure this all out later, let's just get ready for our shelter to be judged," Van told them to stop the fight.
"Yeah can you two murder each other later? We got a challenge to win!" Wane added, but it was too late to continue as...
BRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRRR
"TIME'S UP!" Drew called after Carlton played a foghorn sound effect. "Now Pamela will inspect both teams' bunkers." Drew announced as he, his co-hosts, and the interns were under a giant umbrella hand attachment of Hacks.
The pirate handed Pamela an umbrella which she used to protect herself from the rain as she went over to inspect the frogs' bunker. "Great use of the tarp, resourceful means of nailing it down." She lifted up a flap of the tarp to reveal a wall of cameras, "Nice addition of surveillance to watch for unwanted intruders." Timothy smirked at Melissa, who rolled her eyes. "Oooooo, such lovely fauna to beautify this bunker." Pamela comments on the flowers she found planted by Flora, she takes a whiff. She then saw the dragon statue, "Splash of personality and a nice audible for a lack of support beams." She then went inside and opened a door to Elizabeth's wood and stone room. "Looks simple and cozy."
Pamela exited the bunker after a few minutes and looked to the frogs, "So?" Melissa wonders.
"I give you guys a B. While I do appreciate a lot of the rooms and personality, there still could be more left to be desired in other rooms, like Brandon's felt really plain." Pamela shrugged as Hack held up a giant stuffed 'bee' in the background.
"Oh I get it!" Kodi chuckled at the prop comedy.
Pamela then went over to the Chicken's bunker and went inside, "Going underground is certainly a creative idea, smart for tornadoes too, with a rather modest-looking pair of rooms right next to each other. Wane's room is pretty predictable for him, but it does show his personality well, as does Van's party room." Pamela went through the different rooms and judged them, making sure to be careful on her decision. Not too long after she got out of the underground bunker and grabbed a megaphone, "I've made my decision." Pamela announced, "And...

...While I think the Chickens had a far better shelter by characterization, mostly due to some rooms in the Frog's shelter being too cluttered or basic, The Frogs is definitely more structurally stable than the Chickens. The Frogs win!"
The Frogs cheered as they found out they won the challenge, while Wane threw his hat to the ground, "What do you mean it was structurally unstable!?" Wane raged.
"I mean, a wall was literally built out of records, and that's not going to-" Becky's room of records collapsed in on itself, causing most of the Chickens to jump in surprise, "We'll see you at the ceremony tonight."
Van, Paige, and Wane all glanced over at Becky and Sasha, it was pretty obvious that those two were going to be on the chopping block tonight...
Confessional: Sasha
"Look I didn't mean to reveal Becky's condition to the team, and I probably should have waited till after the challenge to talk to her about it, vut after thinking it over, she'd probably have the same reaction. Anyway, I slipped Becky a card for this therapist that specializes in eating disorders."
Confessional Over
Confessional: Becky
"What a bitch." Becky crumpled up the card in anger and ripped it to shreds, "Reveal someone's inner secrets and then try to 'help'. She's no better than Timothy!"
Confessional Over
Confessional: Van
"Although Becky threw the first punch, I could tell that it wasn't an easy subject for her." Van winced, "I'm not sure what to do."
Confessional Over
Confessional: Timothy
"After hearing Becky's secret, now I kind of feel bad for trying to pry it out of her. I guess Flora was kinda right, there are some truths that are probably better off unsaid." Timothy chuckled nervously, "Maybe I should stop trying to pry secrets off of her in return... I kinda owe her."
Confessional Over
"Chickens... Chickens... Chickens..." Drew 'tssk tssk'd as he shook his head in disappointment, "I thought you guys were gonna stop losing, but two of you just had a little 'falling out' today, and that stopped you from getting any other work done on the shelter. Not that it would've mattered anyways, let's be real, the bottom tw are up here not for challenge reasons, but what you did today, so lemme get this over with... Paige."
Paige got up and gave a slight smile as she took the day's safety symbol, this one being a small house.
"Wane..."
"It's so nice not being on the bottom for once." Wane stretched his arms out as he greedily snatched the little house.
"Van..."
Van didn't say anything, she just gave a soft look to the person she sided with.
"King..."
King didn't say anything either, preferring to get up and walk away.
"Sasha... Becky... Sasha... Becky..." Drew taunted, "Violence or pulling a Timothy? Which is worse today? Either of you feeling nervous?"
Becky's eye twitched with rage as Sasha had her arms crossed.
"Well let's play this out for a bit, you guys really went and started a little fight together today, in front of everyone, no less, Becky you-"
"Get on with it!" The two shouted at Drew, causing him to jump back.
"Yeesh. Impatient much? Fine, the person who's safe is...
...
...
...
...
...
...

...Sasha, sorry Becky, you're out."
Sasha sighed in relief as she took her safety symbol as Becky got up.
"Oh that's just great. Go and villainize me more while your at it! Screw all of you, I'll see you in hell." Becky snapped.
Drew chuckled, "It's not that serious Becky."
"Shut it." Becky snarled.
Van looked at the ground, "Hey if it makes you feel better, I didn't vote ya..." Van's words caught the attention of her team, minus King because duh.
"You didn't? I thought you and Becky didn't like each other?" Paige questioned.
"I dunno... I felt bad." Van rubbed her arm.
Becky also seemed surprised at this revelation, but she didn't say anything, choosing to instead keep her arms crossed. Becky then went over to the floater and stayed silent as she floated away from the island.
"Well, looks like Timothy's second biggest fan has left us, I'd say biggest, but this one guy wouldn't stop obsessing over him in fan letters." Drew laughed, "Find out who's going next time, how the Chickens will function now that they're left with five, how will the Frogs most likely win the next challenge, and what our next challenge will be on the next episode of... [2]
Total...
Drama...
Sakamannano-" Drew was cut off by his phone ringing, "Hello? Drew 'The Stone' speaking... uh huh... HE WHAT!?" Drew yelled at his phone, "OH HE THINKS HE CAN TAKE MY CHAMPIONSHIP BELT BEHIND MY BACK!? THAT'S IT! PAMELA AND HACK COME WITH ME, WE'RE GOING TO BURY FROZEN ROCK!"
"Wait what!?" Pamela asked in confusion, "What about the next episode!?"
Hack blinked a few times in surprise, "Yeah what!?"
"INTERNS CAN DO IT, I DON'T CARE, I AM NOT LETTING STEWIE TAKE MY BELT!" Drew yelled as he ran off to the nearest mode of transportation, leaving all the Chickens in confusion.
"Hey Drew what was it you wanted me to build again?" Buck walked into frame only to notice Drew wasn't there, "Uh... did any of you see where Drew went?" Buck asked the contestants, looks like we're in for a wild ride next episode...

Reasoning For Elimination: Becky was a fun character to write, but we felt that her anorexia plotline was gonna cost her before she could make ti to the merge, she lacked physical strength too, so she had two heavy weaknesses hitting her, as well as the fact that she didn't have as much plot planned as the other remaining Chickens.

Freezing Chickens: King, Paige, Sasha, Van, Wane
Flaming 'Frogs': Beatrice, Brandon, Elizabeth, Flora, Kodi, Melissa, Timothy
Vote Tally:
Becky: Paige, Sasha, Wane

Voting Confessionals
"That bitch is going down." Becky snarled as she voted Sasha.
Ok you know the drill by now, King goes into the confessional and votes for himself.
Paige let out a long whistle, "Oh boy... there's no right answer here, huh... uh... sorry Becky... Sasha's just nicer more often." Paige nervously stated as she voted for Becky.
"I feel very guilty... but I can't let this be the moment where I lose." Sasha calmed herself as she voted Becky.
Van sighed, "Sorry Sash, but I'm gonna have to side with Becky on this... that's just.. very personal."
Wane laughed, "Oh, it's nice not being the target for once, anyways, voting Becky so Brandon doesn't kill me come merge for getting rid of his only friend.
