We're back on top of the cliff with the campers.
"Alrighty campers, this should be easy. All you have to do is jump off the cliff." The host said.
Jo didn't seem to have a problem with that. "Pfft, piece of cake."
"If you look closer down, you'll notice a small ring, inside a much larger area. The small area is the safe zone, the larger area we have packed with ravenous, hungry, man-eating sharks." Some of the campers looked fearful, some not so much.
"If you jump and make it to the safe zone, you earn your team a point. If you don't make it or refuse to jump, you earn squat. Alright, Killer Bass, you're first.
Mike looked over the edge of the cliff. "Sooo, who wants to go first?" Lightning was first to respond.
"If you scared cats won't go, Lightning will. Sha-bam!" Lightning jumped from the cliff doing a triple backflip before diving into the safe zone. The team cheered for him.
"Well done amigo! I'll jump next!" Alejandro shouted before jumping and also making the safe zone. Soon other team members followed.
"Woohoo mate!" Jasmine shouted
"Look out below!" Jo shouted.
Duncan fell silent arms crossed looking bored.
Dawn also followed silent eyes closed and fell a bit slower than the rest like she was floating.
Up at the top, Ellody was trying to calculate her percentage of survival.
"Weight times wind speed time velocity divided by height equals, I think I'll pass." She told Chris.
"You sure? Might cost your team the win."
"Yes, it's a calculated risk. I don't think I'd be able to come out of this unharmed." The genius told him.
"Alright, you'll have to where this chicken hat for the rest of the challenge." Chris said placing a chicken hat on her head as she walked off. "Alright, who's next?"
Mike looked over the edge again. "Um, I'm not sure about this." He said before gasping. "But I'm sure! It's time for Svetlana to break the world class diving record." Svetlana said making a tremendously awesome dive right in the middle of the safe zone.
"Woah, Mike reveals a secret skill and the Bass widen their lead. Mike surfaced the water gasping.
"Uhh how did I het down here?" Ellody watched with an interesting look.
Confessional: Ellody
"Hmm, that was odd. It looked like Mike transformed to a completely different person. I should keep tabs on him to learn more."
End of confessional
"Woah that was awesome, I'll go next. If that's ok with you two." Zoey said to Shawn and Max.
"Sure/whatever fool." Shawn and Max said respectfully. Zoey made a swan dive into the circle. Mike watched with aww as Zoey resurfaced next to him.
"Great dive Zoey." He said. Causing her to giggle.
"Thanks Mike." They were looking into each other's eyes until they heard a scream.
"Look out below!" Shawn called from above as he fell into the safe zone.
"So Max, will you be jumping?" Chris asked the evil pipsqueak.
"Evil will not be seen plummetting from a cliff and possibly to his death." Max said arms crossed.
"Whatever helps you sleep dude. Still gotta where the chicken hat." He said putting a hat on him. "Alright, that's nine jumpers and two chickens. Gophers, it's your turn. Who's going first?"
The Gophers stood silent for a few seconds. "I'm sorry, there's no way I'm doing this." Heather announced.
"Why not?" Scott asked lifting an eyebrow.
"Hello, international tv. I'll get my hair wet." Heather said matter-o-factly.
"You can't be serious." Gwen said
"Oh heck no ponytail punk! You're jumpin." Sugar told her.
"Says who?!"
"Says me. I'm a walking beauty too, but I also wanna win this here challenge. So get your skinny but down that cliff!" Sugar threatened.
"Make me!" Heather challenged.
"With pleasure!" Sugar picked Heather up and jumped with her.
"WOOHOO/AHHHHH!!!" Sugar and Heather shouted respectfully.
"Awesome, let's do this!" Lorenzo said as he jumped "Yaaaaaaaa!"
"Ahhhhhhhhh!" Gwen yelled
"Waaaaaahhhhhh! Izzy yelled.
"I... I can't do it. This can't be safe." Dave said as Chris put a chicken hat on him. Soon Scott made his jump.
"Ha! Piece of caAAAAAAAAAAKE!" Scott was saying before he hit a rock and was spinning out of control before hitting the water.
Cody closely followed screaming like a girl the whole way down.
"Yes! Let's do this!" Sky said to Kitty and Noah before jumping and hitting the safe zone.
"Ok campers, these are our last two jumpers. If they both jump, the Gophers win." The Gophers were all cheering on Kitty and Noah.
Confessionals: Lightning
"I'm looking at that scrawny kid and thinking, no way is he gonna sha-make it."
Gwen
"I wasn't so worried about Kitty, but I actually thought if Noah jumped that, he's gonna die."
End of confessionals
"Uhh, I'm not sure about this." Noah said looking worried for the first time. Kitty put a hand on Noah's shoulder.
"It'll be fine. Let's jump together." Kitty told him.
Noah looked back down the cliff at the water, and then at his team cheering for them. "Ok, I'll do it."
"On three." Kitty said. "One... two... three!" Kitty and Noah jumped. Kitty seemed to be enjoying it, while Noah was repeatedly screaming he was gonna die. Soon they both fell into the safe zone.
"THE WINNERS! THE SCREAMING GOPHERS!" The Gophers started cheering as Noah and Kitty resurfaced.
"We... we did!" Noah cheered.
"Heck ya we did!" Kitty cheered
Confessional: Noah
"Wow, if you have told me yesterday I'd be jumping off a 1000ft cliff, I would have backhand you clean across the face."
End of confessional
Soon the Gophers were pulling carts with creates on them. Dave was with Sky, Sugar was with Scott, Lorenzo was with Heather, Noah was with Kitty with Izzy on top of their create pretend she was driving, and that left Gwen stuck with Cody.
"Hey Kitty, I don't normally say this a lot, but thanks for helping me jump. I don't do much at home so I was seriously surprised I did it."
"Aww no problem Noah." Kitty said pulling out her phone and pulling Noah in for a selfie.
"Weee! I'm a rapid racecar, vroom vrooooom!" Izzy said from on top of the creates. "Hey, why don't we sing 99 Bottles of Pop on the Wall?"
"Why would we want to do that?" Heather asked.
"Normally I'd reject that idea, but since the Bass are behind us in hearing range, it'll be like singing one big middle finger in their faces." Noah said, which got the others interested.
Back with the Bass, since they didn't have carts they had to push or life their creates. People like Jasmine, Jo, and Lightning didn't have a problem. Others like Ellody and Dawn had some trouble. And ones like Max didn't even try.
"Come on minions hurry! I command thee!" Max shouted at them.
"Shut it dork!" Duncan said tired and irritated.
"The other foul team is ahead of us! And they're singing! They will rue the day they cross me, the greatest villain of all time!"
"Will you shut gnome head! You're nothing but a Looney Tune villain!" Jo insulted to the wannabe villain.
"How dare you?!"
While they argued, Dawn was making slow work of her create and was exhausted. Suddenly a bear came out of the bushes and headed towards her. Duncan was nearby and saw this.
"Hey witchy look out!" Duncan warned her. Dawn turned and saw the bear, but instead of being scared, she simply smiled and climbed on the bear's shoulders as it started pushing the create for her.
"Thank you Mr. Bear, your help is most appreciated. And thanks for trying to warn me thinking I was in trouble Duncan." Dawn said as she and the bear walked by a dumbfounded Duncan.
Confessional: Duncan
"Man, that girl is weird." The punk commented.
End of confessional
Zoey was making decent effort with her create when Mike came by. "Hey, need some help?" He asked helping her push the create.
"Thanks Mike, you're so sweet." Zoey responded with a smile, making Mike blush.
Confessional: Mike
"Zoey, she's so nice and beautiful. I wanna get to know her to ask her out, but I'm afraid what she'd think of me if she found out about my, uhh quirt." Mike said sounding hesitant.
End of confessional
"42 bottles of pop on the wall 42 bottles of pop! If one of those bottles should happen to fall, 41 bottles of pop on the wall!" The Gophers sung before reaching the campgrounds.
"Hey, we made it! Dave exclaimed.
"That was surprisingly easy." Lorenzo spoke.
"I'm pleasantly surprised." Cody agreed.
With the Bass, Alejandro offered Ellody help with her create.
"Perhaps I can be of assistance." He said as he helps push it.
"Thanks Alejandro." Ellody sighs.
"You seem upset, mind if I ask what's wrong?"
"I just feel like I'm not in too good with the team. I didn't jump off the cliff, and I wouldn't be much help in physical challenges." The genius explains.
"Nobody is perfect, and not everyone has physical capabilities. But what you do have are great academic skills. Your brain can prove to be most helpful in future challenges. And besides, atleast you try." Latin says pointing to a bored looking Max, still not pushing a create.
"I see your point. Thank you Alejandro, I needed that."
"It is my pleasure to help a teammate in need." Alejandro said, with a hidden smirk.
The Gophers were trying to open the creates with their teeth.
"Remember you can only use your teeth, no hands." The host reminded them.
"Hey, I think I got it open." Izzy said the rope still in her mouth. When she got it open she got rope burn on her tongue.
"I got some tarps in mine." Scott announced. Lorenzo who was near him also got his open.
"I got some tools, and what looks like a pool liner."
Soon the Bass team finally arrived. Heather waved tauntingly at them, while Alejandro winked at her causing her to turn away.
"Alright amigos, we may be behind, but we can still win if we work together." Alejandro said trying to encourage his team.
One long and one-sided good teamwork montage later.
Chris came by and inspected the hot tubes. The Gophers' hot tub looked very well built, while the Bass's looked like crap. It even fell apart.
"Ok, I think we have our winners. The Screaming Gophers! You'll be rocking this hot tub all summer. Bass, I'll be seeing you at our first bonfire ceremony." The Gophers were cheering, while the Bass looked defeated. One of them had something to say.
"Unacceptable! You morons can't build one simple hot tub?! I shall have you all executed when I become ruler!" Max ranted before walking off. Unaware of the glares he got from his team.
Cut to the bon fire ceremony.
"Alright Bass, not a lot of teamwork today. You have all cast your vote you're votes and made your decisions. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately return to the dock of shame, catch the boat of losers and leave. And you can't come back, EVER!" The Bass looked a bit nervous at that last part.
"Marshmallows go to-
Alejandro
Mike
Zoey
Shawn
Jasmine
Dawn
Duncan
Lightning
Jo. Campers, this is the last and final marshmallow." Ellody looked nervous, while Max looked annoyed.
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
... "Ok I'm not gonna drag this out any longer. Doesn't take a genius to know who's leaving. Ellody, you live another day." Chris said giving Ellody the last marshmallow.
"WHAT?! Are you fools dumb? You just kicked off your supreme emperor!" Max ranted.
"No, we kicked off a nuisance. Bye bye Wile. E." Jo snarked.
"You will all rue the day!" Max shouted before stomping off to the boat of losers.
"The rest of you are safe, for now." Chris told them.
The Gophers were having their hot tub party.
"To the Screaming Gophers." Cody said making a toast.
"Whoo! Go gophers go gophers!" Kitty started chanting and dancing, soon followed by Izzy.
"Come on Noah dance with us!" Kitty called out to the bookworm who was unsurprisingly reading a book.
"Hmm no thanks." He said not looking up. Kitty walked to him and yanked the book away.
"Come on dude, this is summer camp. Live a little." Noah reluctantly got up and walked out. The music started and he started dancing. It looked lazy at first, but then started to get into it and dancing much better.
"Whoo hoo go Noah, go Noah. Go Noah!" Kitty chanted, soon followed by the rest of the team. The Bass team were walking by when Alejandro saw a camera man.
"Are you recording this?" The cameraman nodded and closed in on him. "Nobody knows a thing about me, and I intend to keep it that way. One by one, they'll all go down." Alejandro said smirking evilly before the screen went black.
Reason for elimination
Max- Believe it or not, I kinda like Max. He's funny to me, but he's also not an easy character to write a plot on and was an easy choice for a first boot.
