"Welcome back." Brooke said. Then she added, "It's now time to find out who you voted for to take on the Vomit Comet. Mathew who did you vote for?"

"I chose Alex." I stated, as I crossed my arms. My handwriting of Alex's name appeared under my name.

"Hmm, Sam, who did you vote for?" Brooke asked.

"Pity, Alex." Sam said. Her handwriting of Alex's name appeared under her name.

"Yikes, Clover who did you vote for?" Brooke asked.

"I voted for Alex too." Clover said crossing her arms. Her handwriting of Alex's name appeared under her name.

"Alex, it doesn't matter, but who did you choose?" asked Brooke.

"I chose Clover." Alex stated. Her handwriting of Clover's name appeared under her name.

"3 votes for Alex. Let's find out why. Mathew, why Alex?" Brooke asked.

"Well, Brooke she literally vomits sometimes, and I just know this challenge is gonna test her. Plus I heard that hanging upside-down causes brain damage." I said.

"Alright. What about you, Sam?" Brooke asked, turning to Sam.

Sam thought about it for a minute, then pointed out, "Mathew's right, because I've seen her almost vomit before but she's not gonna in this challenge." (A/n: She almost vomited before. Remember season 2's "The Yuck Factor?")

"Well without further adieu, Alex, take a walk with me and we'll get you harnessed and onto the Vomit Comet." Brooke said.

Alex came out of where she stood next to Sam and Clover and took a walk with Brooke.

After that, her staff had gotten Alex into a harness, which was the same color as when Arnold went "out on a limb." It was on the outside of her clothes so her shirt wouldn't fall in her face.

"Okay, Alex, here's how it works, I'm gonna read to you famous people, titles, or phrases, and I'm gonna give you 2 minutes to guess how many vowels there are in the puzzle, but it will be spinning while you are thinking. You need to get 8 correct to stay out of the dog pound. If you do it in that amount of time, you're safe, if not, then you're off to join Mandy and Arnold in the dog pound." Brooke explained, then requested, "Let's spin the Vomit Comet."

The machine started spinning at a slow rate.

"I'm ready, Brooke." Alex said in confidence, as it started to get a little bit faster.

"Okay. Let's put 2 minutes on the NetZero countdown clock. Time will not start until I finish reading the first puzzle." Brooke explained. She picked up her "Dog Eat Dog" question card and started reading the 1st puzzle.

"Here we go, Alex. Your first puzzle is: The Price is Right." Brooke read.

Time started and Alex closed her eyes and started thinking right away.

After 10 seconds, Alex finally guessed, "5?"

"Correct," announced Brooke. She then read Alex the 2nd puzzle. "Stephen King." she read aloud.

It took Alex another 10 seconds. She had an answer, but she lost it in her thinking. After 5 more seconds of thinking, she guessed, "3?"

"Correct," announced Brooke. She then read Alex another puzzle. "Wheel of Fortune," she read aloud.

This time it took her 15 seconds to think. Then, Alex guessed, "6?"

"Correct," Brooke announced, then read Alex the next puzzle. "Crime and Punishment," Brooke read aloud.

Alex started thinking, but she interrupted her thinking by the "brain damage" thing I pointed out when Brooke asked me why I voted for Alex. She got back onto her thinking and finally, after another 15 seconds, she guessed, "5?"

"Incorrect," Brooke said, then read, "Pamela Anderson."

Alex started thinking as hard as she could. After 12 seconds, she guessed, "6?"

"Correct," Brooke announced, then read, "Sugar Ray."

Alex started her thinking once again. After a quick 8 seconds, she guessed, "3?"

"Correct." Brooke announced, then read, "Carlos Santana."

Alex started her thinking once again. She tried thinking as hard as she could. Finally, after a full 20 seconds, she guessed, "5?"

"Correct," Brooke announced, then read the next puzzle. "Peanuts," Brooke read aloud.

Alex's time was reduced to a mere 40 seconds and she had gotten 4 correct out of 5. She felt dizzy on her inside, but she continued on. "3?" She guessed.

"Correct." Brooke said, then read Alex the next puzzle. She was halfway there, but time was running out! Brooke said, "Family Feud."

Alex started thinking to herself again, then in a full 10 seconds, she guessed, "4?"

"Correct," announced Brooke, then read the next puzzle, "Christina Aguilara."

Alex began her thinking once again, but Christina's name was so long, she couldn't keep track. So, Alex took a wild guess and said, "8?"

"Incorrect," Brooke said, then after that, time had expired. Alex was off to the dog pound.

"Oh no. Alex you were so close." Brooke said in total surprise. "Alex, what happened?" She asked.

"Well, I started getting that brain damage that Mathew was talking about." Alex explained.

"Well, you got 6 right, but you were 2 away from staying in the game, so see ya, Alex." Brooke said.

Brooke's staff got Alex out of the harness, while she walked over to the dog pound.

Brooke walked back to Sam, Clover and me. She said, "Okay, you all voted wisely. Alex, Mandy and Arnold are in the dog pound and one more of you is going to join them. Our next challenge is a fun one. It's called 'Over and Under.' You're going to get in the tank and grab that paddle wheel and leap for the 5 'Dog Eat Dog' flags above the tank. Someone will take a plunge. It's time to choose the loser."

Sam, Clover, and I started writing down who was going to take on the next challenge.

"Someone will take a dive when we return." Brooke announced then they went to commercial.

(Will it be Sam, Clover, or me who will wind up taking on the next challenge? Leave some reviews and I'll continue. Please R&R.)
