---

"Last time on Total Drama Carnival Calamity," Chris said, narrating the previous episode as flashbacks occur. "The Ringleader, an escaped convict arrives at the carnival in search of his lab with the help of Lily, a previously eliminated contestant. I gave a task to the three teams to go on a search to turn the power back on."

"Each team however got busy dealing with the Ringleader wanting to put on a show. Except for Elsa and Boris, who were stuck in the arcade center. Ringleader's plan was almost completed until Lucy intervened. Also by the Sleek Slushies who turned the power back on. The Ringleader was then arrested for good."

The flashbacks end. Chris is shown at a beach, wearing khakis shorts and brown sandals with his regular upper clothing. "Which team will dive into the splash zone of elimination? Find out now on Total… Drama… Carnival Calamity!"

The episode starts in the morning with the Sleek Slushies eating breakfast. Banana pancakes with strawberries on top and syrup. Meredith as per usual is not with the group.

Axel groans at seeing her not with the group. He looks at Hilda who is sitting next to his left. "Remind me again why Meredith is not here again?"

"She told us that she likes to be alone during the mornings," Hilda answered.

Axel narrows his eyes as he looks at his meal. He grabs a fork with his right hand and sticks it into the pancake. Then he grabs a knife with his left hand. "I still have my doubts she is doing it just to be alone, but right now I have bigger fish to fry."

Tamera knows he is talking about her. She has not touched her breakfast at all. These past days have given her a lot to think about how she is going to stay in the game.

Caleb does not seem to care since he is watching Marty and Kylie. The two are giggling, looking at a photo in the photographer's camera.

"What you two looking at it?" Caleb asked politely. "May I see?" He gets up from his chair and approaches them. Marty shuts off his camera.

"Sorry dude, but this is kind of a thing between me and Kylie," Marty answered.

Caleb blinks before responding, having a blank expression. "Oh, no worries, dude. Even if you don't want to show me the picture, display me others whenever we have time."

"Sure thing," Marty agreed and the two share a fist bump. Caleb goes back to eat his breakfast while Marty and Kylie continue to giggle at the photo.

Garry is eating his breakfast peacefully, no one even noticing he is there.

Confessional – Axel – Sleek Slushies

"I know Meredith is hiding something." He sighs frustratingly. "But I cannot focus on her when Caleb and Tamera are still here. She is safe for now, but when those two leave, she is done in this competition."

Confessional – Marty and Kylie – Sleek Slushies

Both are standing inside the photo booth.

"We decided to keep Meredith's crush a secret for now," Marty said smiling.

"Yeah, we don't want Axel and the others wanting her out because she's trying to get with a man," Kylie added.

"She's totally going to thank us later for this," Marty told the cheerleader.

"Oh yeah, definitely," Kylie agreed.

Confessional – Caleb – Sleek Slushies

"Marty and Kylie are hiding something in that camera. It could be something really worth finding out or just something stupid like animals fighting each other. Either way, I'm discovering what that is."

End Confessionals

Hilda finishes her meal, stands up, and then walks out of the gold tent. Tamera, who has still not eaten her meal follows.

"Hey Hilda," Tamera called out to her teammate, running towards her. She stops to talk. "Can I ask you something?"

"Sure," Hilda spoke with a sincere smile. "Go right ahead."

"Well, it's obvious I'm not friends with anyone here," Tamera said, then chuckles sheepishly.

"True," Hilda agreed. It might sound harsh, but she is not friends with the vixen, but she does not dislike Tamera like others on their team.

"I was wondering if you can help me become ni… ni," Tamera tried to finish her sentence but is having a hard time saying the full word. "Ni… ni…"

"Nice?" Hilda pondered.

"Yes, that word," Tamera said excitedly. "I was wondering if you can help me become that."

Hilda's smile grows bigger. Excitement is getting into her. "Sure thing Tamera. I'll make sure you can grow into a blooming flower."

"I do like flowers," Tamera confessed. "They are pretty like me."

Confessional – Hilda – Sleek Slushies

"I know my teammates might not like me helping her out, but if she is willing to turn over a new leaf, I cannot just let the opportunity slip by. I take care of all of my teammates when they need help."

Confessional – Tamera – Sleek Slushies

"As if I want to become ni… that word," Tamera spoke truthfully. "I'm just doing this to get everyone off my back. Plus, I get to have some spotlight by Hilda 'helping me'. Is not much, but at least I'm not staying low."

End Confessional

At the brown tent, the Power Poppers and Fried Freaks are eating the typical breakfast meal Chef serves, which is gruel. Both teams are eating at separate tables.

Melissa notices Fenton is not eating his meal. Both are sitting next to each other. Boris, Elsa, and JJ are sitting on the opposite side of the two. "Something the wrong Fenton?" The athletic nerd asked.

"Well, I have not gotten that much sleep since the Ringleader attack," Fenton admitted. "I'm just afraid."

"What are you afraid of?" Melissa asked.

Boris decides to intervene in the conversation. "That is none of your business. Fenton will tell us what he is afraid of when he is ready, and right now he is not. Right, Fenton?"

Fenton frowns. "I guess so."

Melissa narrows her eyes at the rich kid. What is he trying to do? Elsa and JJ also look at Boris as well but with curiosity, not annoyance.

"He can tell us now," Melissa told Boris with a glare. "It's better to get it off his chest than stick with it."

"It's fine Melissa, really," Fenton said, forming a smile. "I'll be okay. Let's just win today's challenge."

Melissa looks at him skeptically but decides not to say anything else.

"What was that about?" Elsa whispered to Boris.

"I'll explain to you later," Boris answered with a whisper.

Confessional – Boris – Fried Freaks

"You might haven't seen it because we get days off, but Melissa has been getting awfully close to Fenton. This is why I had them partnered up in the cooking challenge to see if I was correct. If Fenton warms up to her, I won't have him under my control. So, he's going to be talking about his thoughts to me for a secure vote and not her. I'll just pretend to care about the utter nonsense coming from his mouth."

End Confessional

The Power Poppers are somewhat enjoying their breakfast together. Well, not Buford since he is shown walking out the tent with his gruel.

"He really doesn't like staying with us, doesn't he?" Lilith asked her teammates.

"I think he just likes being away from you," Jett told the goth with a shrug.

"But why though?" Lilith wondered. "I haven't been mean to him."

"It has to deal with the fact you give us morbid questions constantly," Lisa explained dryly.

"But all of you like to hear my questions," Lilith said. "For example, which surgery is most likely the one that can accidentally kill you the fastest?"

"And that's where the problem lies," Lisa stated.

"It should be a heart or brain surgery, right?" Maverick pondered as he rubbed his chin, ignoring what the poet said.

"It can also be cosmetic surgery," Sua chimed in.

Maverick is surprised to hear the idol enter into the conversation. "I guess you have a point there. Imagine all the restoration, reconstruction, or alteration one is put through."

"Maverick I believe as our leader you should step up for your teammates," Jett told the promoter. "Clearly we don't enjoy Lilith's conversations. Even Sua is starting to go crazy because of them."

Sua is shown eating her gruel like a slobbering dog at the table.

Maverick sees the trouble and sighs. "Maybe you should tone down the questions Lilith."

Lilith gasps and gets up from the chair she is sitting on. "I can't believe this." She leaves the tent gloomy.

Confessional – Maverick – Power Poppers

"That could have gone better. I like answering Lilith's questions but apparently, the rest of my team doesn't. She's a cool girl and I don't want her to get voted off because of that."

Confessional – Lilith – Power Poppers

"My questions are fun. They give hypothetical discussions to socialize with others. Who doesn't like socializing?"

Confessional – Sua – Power Poppers

She is tapping her index fingers together. "Honestly, Lilith's questions are starting to grow on me. I find them entertaining. I wonder if we can talk about dead bodies one day." She is thrilled with excitement about that topic.

End Confessionals

Meredith and Buford simultaneously arrive at the Bargaby Bludidle Hut. They both sit on a chair.

"I heard you got caught in those egg cloud stuff," Buford commented to the historian. "What did you see?"

"Um… clowns," Meredith answered. "Why do you want to know about this?"

"We can't have conversations because we're in different teams?" Buford asked then smirked. "Didn't take you for a competitive player."

Meredith slightly blushes. "No, I just came here to have fun. It's just well, it's weird talking to someone from the other team about me."

"Hey, I get ya," Buford understood. "It was kind of strange talking to you at first, but I don't mind."

"Me either," Meredith chuckled awkwardly, trying not to look at Bo.

"You two are going to embrace or procure something?" Scarlett stated emotionless.

Buford and Meredith are surprised that the brainiac is at the hut.

"Where's Lucy?" Meredith asked Scarlett.

"She is presently resting from her grievances thanks to the Ringleader happenstance," Scarlett answered her.

"Oh," Meredith spoke, being surprised. There goes her great breakfast. Sure, her team is at the gold tent, but Lucy has that special touch when it comes to making food. She gets up from her chair and proceeds to walk away.

"Where you're going?" Buford asked the historian.

Meredith turns around to answer him. "Oh, just need to grab my breakfast that I forgot. Be right back." She leaves the scene.

Buford watches her walk away.

"She won't be acquiring her breakfast freedoms for a while," Scarlett stated.

"Breakfast what?" Buford wondered as he turns around to look at the brainiac.

"Oh, that is precise, you don't identify that Meredith and Lucy are working collectively," Scarlett said.

"What?" Buford is baffled.

"Yes, in exchange for some data about this carnival, Lucy shares material about the rest of the cast to Meredith," Scarlett partially lied.

"Why are you telling me this?" Buford wondered, narrowing his eyes. "You have no reason to tell me what she is doing."

"Oh, I have my reasons that you will not possibly comprehend," Scarlett retorted. "But to recapitulate it, I suppose it is unfair to the other participators that one gets to know everyone's private information, don't you?"

"That is a fair point," Buford admitted. He decides to stand up and look around the hut to see its many prizes. Sure, he gave all his tickets to Jett, but maybe he can convince him to purchase some items. After looking around every angle, he notices the McLean-Brand Chris Head (invincibility idol) is no longer on any counter of the hut.

"Hey," Buford said to Scarlett to get her attention. "What happened to the invincibility statue?"

"I cannot state what happened to Chris' butt chin idol, but I am willing to hypothesize what could have caused its disappearance," Scarlett stated.

"Do you have to speak big words to feel superior because of your insecurities or do you just do it for fun?" Buford wondered, putting his left arm on the hut's counter.

"Someone must have stolen it while the Ringleader was in the carnival," Scarlett stated, gritting her teeth.

Confessional – Buford – Power Poppers

"Got to remember those two things. First, someone took the idol during the night, and I need to find out who. Two, I need to have a chat with Meredith alone. I don't want to expose her in front of everyone because I want to hear her side of the story. Scarlett has proven to be untrustworthy thanks to Pahkitew, so I need more info before I come to conclusions."

End Confessional

Inside the security room, Lucy is sitting on a desk chair. She is looking at the footage from the night the Ringleader and Lily came. Upon observing one of the television screens, she notices the Ringleader rolling a pumpkin and taking out the vines under it to reveal a wooden door on the ground with a lock.

"So that's where your lab is," Lucy concluded. "Should have expected it to be in a maze where people can get lost. Is that how you trapped them?"

As she continues with her observation, the speakers outside from the building turn on off-screen.

"Attention teams, get in your swimsuits because today we are heading to the water attractions of the carnival in one hour," Chris exclaimed excitedly. The speakers turn off.

"Looks like I'm going to have more time on this investigation," Lucy smirked. Her satisfaction will go away once Chef opens the security door abruptly, making her flinch.

"You're supposed to be resting," Chef said coldly.

Lucy makes eye contact with him and gives a nervous smile. "Hey Chef, what brings you here?"

"To get you back into the nursing tent," Chef said. "Now stand up!"

Lucy gets up from the chair she was sitting on immediately. "I'm fine, I don't need to rest when there are still signs of danger." She walks towards Chef but slowly. She stops once she feels pain in her stomach and gets on her knees.

"The Ringleader has been arrested," Chef told the DIT. "Now quit being a baby and own that pain to the nursing tent."

Thanks to encouragement, Lucy gets up and follows the cook. He is right in one way; she needs to fully recuperate herself to keep her investigation going.

A scene emerges with Chris, Chef, and the three teams at the water attractions of the carnival. Chef is shirtless, wearing black shorts and a purple duck inflatable floatie. His black anchor tattoo is shown on his left shoulder.

The first attraction is called Rapid Downtown thanks to the entrance sign. The pool is a large circle with charming water, glistening from the sun. The pool can fit up to thirty people without it being crowded. Around the pool is sand to make it feel like you are at the beach. There are umbrellas around the sandy areas to provide shade from the hot sun and some beach chairs to sit on.

The second attraction has a pool smaller than the first attraction. While that is smaller, this attraction has a huge water slide about two hundred feet high. The slide ends with a curve at the bottom that sends you into the pool. There are of course stairs to get to the top. This ride is called the Whoopee Ride.

"Welcome to the water attraction folks," Chris told the teens. "You all are looking spectacular, ready to have fun under the sun?"

The camera shows every contestant wearing their swimsuit. For the Power Poppers, Lilith is wearing a dark purple bikini, Jett is wearing a pair of plaid boxers, Buford with grey swimming trunks, Sua has a magenta rash guard and matching shorts; Lisa is using a black swimsuit. Lastly, Maverick is wearing blue with black trim knee-length swim trunks plus blue and black swimming sandals.

For the Sleek Slushies, Garry is wearing a pair of black shorts, Tamera a black bikini, Meredith a green two-piece, Axel in red swimming trunks, Caleb wearing a navy-blue swim short with pale blue diamonds, Marty in lime and cyan stripe swim trunks while holding his camera, Hilda sporting a red bathing suit including red pants, and lastly Kylie wearing a white bikini top with red bikini bottoms.

Onto the Fried Freaks. Fenton is wearing a blue swim trunk with a singular white stripe in the center, JJ using a bright yellow one-piece bathing suit with a blue stripe going around the waist (She does not have her clown makeup on), Elsa a navy-blue one-piece, Melissa a black bodysuit, and Boris. He is wearing a royal blue swimsuit with a royal blue swimming cap and royal blue swimming goggles. All symbols from each team appear on the screen.

"You were prepared for this," Elsa complimented the rich kid.

Boris scoffs at her. "Of course I was, there's always a swimsuit episode on this show. This isn't even my best swimming outfit and is better than all of yours combined."

"All-Stars and Pahkitew Island didn't have a swimsuit episode," Melissa pointed out.

"And that's why those are horrible," Boris said as he crosses his arms.

"How many pools do you have?" Fenton asked genuinely.

"I can assure you that I have more than any of you on this team," Boris answered.

JJ narrows her eyes at the blonde, annoyed by his attitude.

Marty is doing his best to look respectfully at the females of his team. Tamera notices this and smirks.

"What's the matter, Marty? Like what you see?" Tamera asked the photographer. She makes sure he is looking at her and strikes a pose.

Marty blushes but remains levelheaded. "You're a nice piece of chocolate I'll tell you that." He ends his sentence with a satisfying smirk.

Kylie pushes Tamera onto the sand so the photographer can look at her. "What about me?" I'm way hotter than her, right?"

"Well, you are a cheerleader," Marty said happily.

"Is that a compliment or an insult?" Kylie asked unsurely.

"Tell her whichever pisses her off more," Tamera spoke as she stands up.

Hilda gasps at the vixen and walks to her to whisper in her ear. "Lesson one, compliment a person."

Tamera groans softly but nods slowly. She looks at Kylie with a smile. "You could have told Marty to check you out if you believe I'm stealing him instead of pushing me."

"That was not what I told you to do but I agree," Hilda sided with the beautiful vixen.

Kylie realizes her error and quickly decides to apologize. "Yeah, you're right. Guess I got jealous of your looks."

"Who wouldn't be? I'm fabulous," Tamera complimented herself. Kylie glares at her.

Caleb and Axel raise an eyebrow, curious about the display. Garry is too busy trying to think of a conversation for Meredith.

Confessional – Axel – Sleek Slushies

"What was that? It looked like Hilda was helping Tamera. Is she backstabbing me too?"

End Confessional

"Looking good everyone," Maverick complimented his teammates. His teammates smile at him as a thank you for the commendation. "With how gorgeous we look there is no way we can lose."

"당신은 너무 겸손," Sua told the promoter then giggles.

"Thank you for your gratitude, Sua," Maverick thanked, not knowing even a clue what she said.

"You people might not believe it, but I love going to the beach," Lilith chimed. "Though I always wonder which is more dreadful. Drowning in water or quicksand?"

"The merge can't get here any quicker," Buford told to himself, trying to keep his comments low.

Lisa approaches Jett. "You look strong as steel in that outfit. Better looking than our leader Maverick. What is the source of your magic?"

"Are you actually rhyming in a poem to me as a compliment?" Jett asked bewildered.

Lisa nods her head twice, signaling yes.

"That's… impressive," Jett admitted with his eyes widening.

Confessional – Jett – Power Powers

"Girl has skills that I can respect."

End Confessional

"Hey, can all of you stop talking and pay attention to me?" Chris asked not so kindly. Everyone looks at the host to hear what he has to say. "Today there will be two challenges. The first one I like to call, Volley Shock."

Chef walks to the large pool and sticks his left hand inside to grab what seems to be an ordinary volleyball.

"Here's how Volley Shock works," Chris spoke, ready to announce the instructions. "Each contestant will be standing on the sand around the pool playing a combination of volleyball and hot potato."

"Potato?" Sua wondered and looks around the area. "I don't see any hot potatoes here."

"It's a game Sua," Chris stated, not fond of being interrupted.

"Allow me to explain," Meredith said, wanting to help the idol. "First of all, the game hot potato wasn't used with a potato at first. In eighteen eighty-eight, where people played with a candle, sang…"

"No one cares about your history lessons Meredith," Chris told her bluntly. "And stop interrupting me."

"But…"

"Stop yapping, host talking," Chris said, shutting the historian up who frowns. "Good, now where was I?"

"You were talking about your stupid face," Jett smirked.

"Yes, I was talking about…" Chris stops talking and sneers at the runaway. "The challenge. Like I previously mentioned, each contestant will be standing on the sand playing a combination of volleyball and hot potato."

Chef passes the volleyball he took from the large pool to the host.

"All of you will be using volleyball tactics when hitting the ball," Chris instructed.

"When do we get to the part where the hot potato comes into play?" Boris insisted.

"I was getting to that. Let me finish," Chris said, narrowing his eyes. "The volleyball in my hands contains inside an electronic device that electrocutes randomly depending on how many times it gets hit."

"Okay, I wasn't going to say this before, but I'm pretty sure you're developing a fetish for people getting electrocuted," Kylie confessed.

"I was originally going to have the volleyball explode randomly but then I would have to purchase more volleyballs, which the budget doesn't have," Chris explained.

"Why didn't you just put a device inside that can turn the heat up of the volleyball?" Hilda asked the host.

"Because that will be boring," Chris answered happily.

"You definitely have an electrocution fetish," Buford stated.

"Can we please just let me explain the challenge already?" Chris whined.

"Don't know, are you going to keep grumbling like a baby because you can't get your bottle?" Lisa asked snarky, getting chuckles from a few contestants, including Chef.

Chris is now tired of the interruptions. "I have you all know there are twenty-six episodes and I have full power to make double eliminations on the spot."

All the remaining contestants stay silent.

"Good, now continuing. Every single one of you will try passing the ball to your teammate or spiking your opponent. For a contestant to be out of the challenge, you either knock them into the pool or they get electrocuted by the volleyball," Chris explained. "Furthermore…"

"Wait, how can we knock them into the pool?" Elsa wondered. "If the ball hits their head, wouldn't they fall back?"

"That's for you all to figure out," Chris said dryly. He wants to finish elucidating the challenge. "Last one person standing wins it for their team and gives them an advantage in the second challenge. Also, to spice things up, your teammates cannot be standing next to you. We can do it by Freak, then Popper, then Slushie."

"But the Slushies have more players," Lilith reminded.

"Then only the Slushies can have a teammate together," Chris told. "Just do the pattern I mentioned until it doesn't work."

The scene changes to show every contestant in their positions around the pool, sand under their feet, or sandals for a few.

The circle goes as follows. At the bottom is Buford due to the camera shot. To his left are Tamera, Hilda, Caleb, Fenton, Lilith, Marty, Elsa, and Maverick. In front of him from the opposite side of the pool is Kylie. Kylie's left consists of Boris, Sua, Axel, JJ, Jett, Meredith, Melissa, Lisa, and Garry. A full circle.

Chris tosses the volleyball to Fenton who catches it. Chef now has a whistle necklace on him.

"Whenever one of you gets out of the challenge, Chef will blow his whistle," Chris told the contestants. "Now… begin!"

Fenton looks around to figure out what to do. Does he pass the ball to a teammate so they can spike? Will they pass it back to him? Someone else? Does he try to get an opponent out? His legs begin trembling and his head starts to sweat. Even his arms are having a hard time holding the volleyball.

Everyone looks at him to decide. He slowly moves his left foot back, holding the ball in his left hand. He raises his left arm to launch the volleyball into the air, but he gets electrocuted and falls into the swimming pool. Melissa with concern swims into the pool to make sure her teammate is okay. Chef blows his whistle to signal that the competent sidekick is out.

"That was lame," Chris said. "The rest of you better give me entertainment or I'll get bored. And trust me, you don't want me to get me bored."

Melissa takes Fenton out of the pool and drops him where he is standing on the sand. She has the volleyball in her left hand.

"Thanks," Fenton expressed gratitude to the athletic nerd with a smile.

Confessional – Melissa – Fried Freaks

"Don't worry Chris, I'll give you what you want," She spoke with her arms crossed and having a deadly smirk on her face.

End Confessional

Since Melissa took the volleyball, she goes back to stand next to Lisa and Meredith. She looks up to the sky but not towards the sun, calculating her move. She tosses the ball high into the sky. She takes a bunch of steps backward, then runs forward as the ball descends. She uses her right leg to make a jump and connects the ball with her right fist. This makes the ball spin and heads directly towards Sua's forehead.

WHAM!

The volleyball hits Sua in the forehead, knocking her to the ground. The ball ricochets and hits Garry's left cheek as the ball gives him a shock, then the back of Caleb's head. Also providing a shock. Chef blows on his whistle twice.

"Dairy and Caleb you're out," Chris told the two boys. Both decide to chill at the smaller pool where the slide is.

Sua gets up and has a small bruise on her forehead. "No worries, everyone I'm fine. By the way, are we at the concert yet?"

Buford groans and slaps his forehead, realizing that Sua is unable to concentrate now.

"Yeah, let's go!" Melissa exclaimed excitedly, her competitiveness flowing through her. "All of you are in my house now losers!"

Everybody looks at her. Some annoyed, afraid, and curious at the athletic nerd acting that way. Chef throws the volleyball at Kylie who catches it. She serves the ball to pass it to Marty.

Caleb notices this and takes a note into his brain.

Confessional – Caleb – Sleek Slushies

"Not only they're keeping a photo a secret, but they are also getting close. I don't care if they are friends or becoming lovers, those two can be deadly in the long wrong. Am I friends with Marty? Of course, but you know who he is going to keep in the long run instead of me? Kylie."

End Confessional

As the remaining contestants compete in the challenge, Caleb decides to talk with Garry in the small pool.

"Hey buddy, how's it going?" Caleb asked.

"I got hit by a volleyball in my face that shocked me," Garry answered, showing no signs of being angry despite what he told. "It could be better."

"I know how to make it better," Caleb said. "You and me in an alliance. Whenever we lose you will vote for who I want to go and in the next ceremony I vote for whoever you want out."

"I like the sound of that," Garry said happily, not thinking this arrangement can ever go wrong. "Just say my name and you got yourself a deal.

Caleb stops smiling. "Your name?"

"Yeah, just my name," Garry answered. "You do remember my name, right?" He eyes the handsome genius skeptically.

"Of course I remember your name," Caleb said then chuckles nervously. "What kind of teammate will I be if I didn't remember your name?"

"Then say my name," Garry stated.

"It's… um," Caleb spoke slowly. "Well, we don't need to discuss this now. Let's just enjoy watching our teammates."

"Cool," Garry said casually, and the two boys watch the challenge. "I think Tamera is the hottest girl on our team, what about you?"

"I'll go with Kylie," Caleb answered.

Back at the challenge, the volleyball is coming towards Jett. He jumps up using both of his legs and smacks the volleyball with his right palm. He sends the ball towards Elsa, who positions her arms into the platform maneuver. Which is placing your hands and arms together, extending them all the way. She bends a bit down and uses her forearms to bounce the ball at Boris.

She is expecting her teammate to pass the ball to Melissa or spike. However, Boris refuses to touch the ball and moves out of the way.

"What the heck Boris?" Elsa shouted. JJ and Melissa are also flabbergasted.

"Chef, go get the ball," Chris instructed. The cook, or in this case now referee goes to get the volleyball. The host uses a megaphone to talk to the rich kid. "Boris, if you're not going to try in this challenge then I suggest you get out of the circle."

"Fine by me, this sand is coarse, rough, and irritating," Boris complained. "And I refuse to sweat when I can save that for the next challenge." He leaves the circles and heads to the pool where Caleb and Garry are.

Confessional – Elsa – Fried Freaks

"That's low Boris, really low," She said discontentedly.

End Confessional

Chef tosses the volleyball to Elsa and then whistles to start the game again. Elsa throws the volleyball up high. She waits for it to come down and uses her hands to bounce it towards Axel. The gentleman immediately jumps to give the ball a spike with his left fist. The ball hits Lilith's face but it does not make her flinch, only ricocheting to Hilda.

"That tickled," Lilith admitted.

Hilda hits the volleyball with the platform maneuver to send it to Kylie, but upon touching the ball with her arms the ball unleashes its electricity to eliminate her.

"That is so bullshit," Buford said, even though his team has not had anyone out of the challenge yet.

Chef blows the whistle. Hilda gives the volleyball to Tamera.

"Be strong team, we can win this," Hilda encouraged. She heads to the small pool.

Tamera gets ready to serve. She uses her left hand to hold the ball and extends it forward from her shoulder. She tosses the ball up and contacts it with her right hand.

The volleyball heads Marty's way. The photographer uses his hands to pass it to Kylie. The cheerleader uses her left leg to make a leap and spike the ball with her left hand, hitting Lisa on her glasses.

"Sorry," Kylie apologized to the poet.

Lisa's glasses somehow bounce onto the pool. The brunette dives into the pool to retrieve her glasses. She swims back up to show her face now having her glasses on. There is a small crack on the right side of her glasses. Chef blows his whistle.

"What?" Lisa exclaimed dumbfounded.

"You know the rules, get into the pool and you're out of the challenge," Chris reminded.

"Ugh," Lisa groaned. She gets out of the pool and heads to the other losers.

Chef gives the volleyball to Sua who catches it. The idol holds the ball in her left hand and swings her right hand, starting from behind her waist. As soon as she contacts the ball it starts sparking electricity. Electricity flows through her as she makes funny faces until accidentally falling into the pool.

Chris, Chef, and Tamera laugh at her misfortune.

Confessional – Sua – Power Poppers

"I'm starting to think I might be prone to getting hurt a lot. I still don't believe it, but it is starting to feel like it."

End Confessional

Maverick serves up and passes the ball to Buford. Then the tall dude passes it to Lilith. The goth runs a bit and uses her right foot to step on the sand and make a leap. She spikes the ball with her right hand, sending it to Meredith. The historian leaps while using the platform maneuver, launching the volleyball upward. However, she jumped too far and ends up in the pool.

Jett waits for the ball to descend so he can spike it. He sends the ball to Marty who gets hit by it on his left cheek. Electricity also sparked to get him out of the challenge.

"Ow," Marty said, rubbing his left cheek.

"Be lucky it didn't hit your camera," Jett told the photographer. "Not like I have money to pay for it anyway," The runaway said quietly.

Confessional – Marty – Sleek Slushies

"Keeping my camera with me has its ups and downs." He turns on his camera to look at some photos while talking. "It helped me against the Ringleader and that target challenge, but it's also detrimental in other challenges like here and the alligator race." He turns off his camera. "I guess is not so bad. Not like it is going to cost me the prize money."

End Confessionals

As the volleyball goes passing left to right from the remaining contestants, Tamera decides to make things entertaining.

"Surprise that the gamer is still in the challenge considering how unfit she must be," Tamera said out loud.

"Excuse me?" Elsa exclaimed, glaring at the vixen. "Unlike other gamers who don't know what deodorant is, I make sure to stay in tip-top shape playing exercising games. So how about…"

Axel spikes the volleyball so it can hit Elsa in her left cheek. The impact makes her stumble until she accidentally goes into the swimming pool. Chef blows his whistle.

"Sometimes people make it too easy," Tamera told herself proudly. She does not see the vicious glare Melissa is giving her.

Elsa gives the volleyball to JJ then heads to the smaller pool. JJ serves as the camera pans to the gamer girl entering the pool to talk with Boris privately.

"Final ten? Not bad," Boris said, impressed by his teammate.

"You need to do the second challenge or you're out of the team if we lose," Elsa said with a stone-cold expression.

Boris laughs at her demand. "As if I'm in a position to be eliminated from our team. As long as Fenton sides with me Melissa is gone."

"Oh, you think Fenton is the wild card?" Elsa said, forming a smirk. "In case you have forgotten, I have a brain. You did nothing in this challenge. If you don't the next one, I'm making sure your butt is in the limousine."

Boris gasps in despair. "But I thought…"

"Thought what? That blonde hair and gorgeous body will get me to automatically vote for who you want gone?" Elsa teased.

"I was going to say that you dislike Melissa and want her gone as much as I do," Boris stated, annoyed by the interruption.

"Oh," Elsa said then blinks. "Yeah, that too." She turns around to not face the rich kid.

"Were you talking about Jett when you mentioned blonde hair and gorgeous body?" Boris asked.

"Not important Boris," Elsa answered, still not looking at him.

Every loser at the smaller pool watches someone get shocked by a volleyball off-screen. The camera reveals who was shocked. It was Jett, giving the ball to Buford and looking rather upset.

"Stupid randomness," Jett complained.

Buford serves up the volleyball to pass it to Lilith, who then passes it to Maverick. The promoter jumps and spikes the ball with his right hand, aiming towards Melissa.

Melissa counters this by using her head to whack the ball towards Axel, who did does anticipate this action. The volleyball hits the gentleman's left ear.

"Ow!" Axel exclaimed as the ball bounces to JJ, who passes it to Melissa.

The athletic girl then does a spike back at Maverick. The volleyball directly hits the promoter's coconuts.

"Oooooo," All the males winced in the area.

"Mommy?" Maverick winced, holding his crotch. He falls. The volleyball produces electricity to shock him.

"Good luck on having kids anytime soon," Melissa taunted. "Why don't you ball your way to where the rest of the losers are?"

Chef carries Maverick to take him to the smaller pool. Kylie takes the volleyball into her hands.

Confessional – JJ – Fried Freaks

JJ uses sign language as subtitles are shown around her knees. She is utterly shocked at what is going on.

'I did not think Melissa could ever get this competitive.'

End Confessional

Kylie passes the volleyball to Axel, who then passes it to Tamera. The vixen is about to go for a spike until she notices the ball starting to spark electricity.

"Shit," Tamera cursed and gets electrocuted by the ball once it hits her left shoulder. Chef blows the whistle. Tamera leaves the circle. "I wanted to stay until the top three."

Buford grabs the volleyball and serves it to Lilith who spikes it towards Melissa. The athletic nerd once again uses her head to whack the ball towards Axel, who still does not anticipate this action. The volleyball hits the gentleman's left ear once more.

"Can you stop?" Axel tried to ask calmly.

"When you leave the circle, I will," Melissa told him and blows him a raspberry.

Axel clenches his fists and watches the ball go to Kylie since JJ hit towards there. "Pass the ball to me so I can get her!" The gentleman exclaimed. The cheerleader does as she is told. She gets into a medium position by bending a bit, balancing her feet and shoulder in the form of an invisible triangle. Knees and toes locked symmetrically. Shoulders are in front of her knees while her knees are in front of her feet. She does the platform technic to give a great pass.

Axel jumps and extends his arm so the ball can touch his right palm. Then sends the volleyball down spinning towards the athletic nerd. Melissa pounds the ball with her right knuckle so it can ricochet onto Axel's stomach.

The direct hit causes Axel to fall into the sand, getting a rough landing. He groans in pain. The volleyball is still on his stomach and electrocutes him.

"Next time don't tell your opponent who you're going to attack," Melissa advised, looking disappointed.

Axel can only wince and screech. JJ grabs the volleyball and gets electrocuted. Funny how randomness works. Chef blows the whistle to let the silent clown know she is out.

"Only four players remain in the Volley Shock challenge," Chris announced. These four players are Lilith, Melissa, Buford, and Kylie.

Melissa now has the volleyball in her hands. Who can see spike to get rid of quickly? Not Lilith because of her endurance. She has witnessed that twice already. She will have to rely on luck from the ball shocking the drummer. She has to go for either Buford or Kylie.

She throws the ball into the air and takes a bunch of steps backward. Buford and Kylie get into medium positions to prepare themselves. Melissa runs and leaps with her left leg. She looks at the ball descending then at Buford.

Buford prepares himself to deflect the volleyball. However, Melissa swiftly uses her right fist to hit the volleyball towards Kylie. The cheerleader does not anticipate this, so the ball hits her left leg.

"My leg!" Kylie exclaimed. She is still able to stand, but the ball bounces into the pool. The four contestants look at Chris and Chef.

"Hey, someone has to get the volleyball," Chris said smiling. "If this stays as a tie there will be no advantage."

"I'll go then," Lilith said and dives into the pool to get the ball. She swims up to show her face and tosses the ball to Buford. "Win it for the team Bo."

A white transition fades in and out to show the last remaining players in the first challenge getting in their positions. Everyone is anticipating how it is going to go down.

"You know Melissa, can you explain to me how to serve in a volleyball game?" Buford asked.

"Of course," Melissa said happily. "I suggest doing the overhand serve. It's pretty easy to use. First, you need..."

Melissa is hit by the volleyball to her stomach thanks to Buford spiking it off-screen. Electricity sparks the athletic nerd as she holds the ball. Eliminating her from the competition.

"No!" Melissa exclaimed furiously. "I was supposed to win."

"You're not the only one who plays sports here," Buford said to her with a victorious smile.

Chef whistles to indicate that the last remaining Fried Freak is out.

"Melissa, to the losers pool," Chris said joyfully.

Melissa, still angry with her loss pops the volleyball with her hands. The electricity does not faze her.

"Wow she is mad," Kylie said, a bit scared.

"Um Chris, what happens now?" Buford asked the host.

Chris ponders for a moment. "Well, since that was the only volleyball we have, I'll just give the advantage to the Sleek Slushies and Power Poppers. Thanks for finishing the challenge, Melissa."

What Chris said immediately makes Melissa stop breathing in and out angrily. She realizes what she did and frowns.

Confessional – Kylie – Sleek Slushies

"Kind of anti-climactic there but I'm not complaining."

End Confessional

A new scene emerges with the contestants out of the small swimming pool and standing between it and the huge water slide. Each team symbol appears on screen as Chris and Chef approach the cast.

"Teams, today's second challenge is called Slip Trick Splash," Chris announced. "Before I explain the rules, everyone has their tickets at the tents, correct?"

"Yeah, you gave the last set to us this morning since you keep forgetting to hand them out," Elsa answered sincerely.

"Us too," Hilda added.

"Well hopefully none of you spend it already because the tickets will be one of the key factors winning this challenge," Chris said. He is met with silence by the cast. "Um, this is the part where all of you gasp and say oh no, we blew all our tickets."

"Actually Chris, we haven't used our tickets yet," Maverick admitted. "At least from my team."

"Same here," Hilda said, her team also has not spent any of their tickets.

JJ with a smile uses her clown horn to let everybody know that the Fried Freaks also have not spent any either.

"Wow," Chris said astonished. "I really thought… never mind."

"Thought what? That we will just blow all our tickets in useless objects, toys, or drinks?" Lisa wondered.

"Those prizes are abysmal compared to ones I get from my parents," Boris stated.

"These teens are becoming too smart nowadays," Chris whispered to Chef. The cook nods, remembering the strategies the previous casts made. He looks back at the competitors. "Anyway, here's how the rules work. Each team will send a teammate back to the tents to grab as many tickets as instructed by whoever calls it. Those three selected will rush to the Bargaby Bludidle Hut to purchase as many materials as they can. Then they will come back here with the items."

Chef is shown drawing what the host is instructing very poorly on a chalkboard with chalk. He is enjoying himself. What cute little stickmen figures.

"While the three selected contestants grab items, the teams here will decide three teens to go through the enormous slide that is about two hundred feet tall. The three doing the slide cannot switch out once their teammate arrives back with their objects," Chris continued explaining.

"What are the items for?" Fenton asked kindly.

"I was getting to that," Chris answered him. What is it with all these interruptions today? "This is where the Trick in Slip Trick Splash comes into play. Each team that selected their three sliders will use any items that their runner teammate bought to perform tricks as you dive into the pool and impress the judges."

"I'm guessing the judges are you, Chef, and a cameo?" Axel wondered.

"The judges are I, Chef, and a cam… wait you already said that," Chris realized.

Several contestants giggle and chuckle.

Chris narrows his eyes at every teen. "Just tell me who your runner is in less than one minute. Also, the Slushies and Poppers have a head start while the Freak gets a one-minute disadvantage."

Each team huddles to discuss their runner. The Fried Freaks are the first to be shown.

"I'm in a track team at my high school. I'm one of the fastest runners there. Which means I'm being the runner, no further suggestions," Melissa told her team confidently with a secure look.

"Why should we let you do it?" Boris questioned her decision. "You're the one who gave our team the disadvantage."

"One, I want to make it up to you four for my mistake. Two, besides maybe JJ I'm the most athletic on the team. Do any of you three see yourselves running so much distance?" Melissa responded.

Elsa, Boris, and Fenton look at each other with blank expressions. She has a point.

"Fair," Elsa told Melissa. "You can be the runner."

The Sleek Slushies are next to show who will be the runner.

"Kylie should do the running," Caleb told his teammates. "She's fast enough I believe."

"Wouldn't it make more sense to have her going on the slide to perform tricks?" Marty gave a suggestion.

"She's doing neither," Axel told the two boys. "Kylie has already done her part today by ensuring us a run advantage."

Kylie smiles cheerfully at the gentleman. "Thank you, Axel."

"Is not an issue madam, like I said you did your part," Axel told her, then looks at his teammates. "The runner will not be Caleb or Tamera."

"But I want screentime," Tamera whined.

"I could be the runner," Garry volunteered.

"Oh, great idea Fairy," Meredith said joyfully.

"That's not even close to my real name," Garry said, disappointed and flabbergasted.

"Maybe you should go Axel," Hilda suggested. "You're bound to find good items that can be useful."

"Or you can screw up," Caleb smirked at the gentleman. "But something tells me you rather do it yourself than allow anybody else."

Axel knows that the handsome genius is right. He keeps his composure calm and proper. "Very well, I shall be the runner for us."

Lastly are the Power Poppers to decide.

"I'm sitting this one out," Lisa told bluntly. "I'm not a runner, so the rest of you decide."

"I already got you all the advantage," Buford told his team. "Someone needs to step up to the plate."

"Oh, I can be the runner," Sua offered.

Everyone looks at her with doubt.

"What did I say?" Sua asked kindly.

"Don't worry, we rather have you perform on the slide than run," Lilith told the idol.

Sua claps joyfully. "Sweet, I'm going to practice right now." She leaves the team and swims into the small pool.

"You know by promising her that we have a chance of losing now, right?" Buford told Lilith.

"Eh, makes it easier for me to stay in the game," Jett added.

"Well, I believe she deserves her time to shine," Lilith responded to Buford.

"Yeah, in the lame-o-sine," Lisa said with snark. This makes Jett chuckle.

"Hey, where's Maverick?" Buford wondered.

The team looks around and notices Maverick is standing next to Chris, Chef, and Axel.

"Sorry, but we took too long to decide so I volunteered," Maverick apologized.

"Alright Maverick and Axel, on your marks. Get set…" Chris told the boys.

Chef blows his whistle, indicating that the race has started.

Maverick and Axel sprint on and run to the tents. Melissa is waiting for her minute to end. She starts to get into a crouch position by placing her two hands and left knee on the floor.

"On your mark," Chris stated.

"Wait, I thought I was supposed to wait a minute?" Melissa asked the host while keeping his position steady.

"Nah, it's actually five seconds," Chris told her. "I said minute to throw off everyone's game. Get set…"

Melissa moves her hips upwards so that the legs are extended into a straighter position. She also straightens her arms in the process.

Chef blows on his whistle again. Melissa lifts her arms together and begins to swing as the rest of her body straightens, beginning to raise itself. Her legs then drive forward momentum. Now that her body is raised, she accelerates to catch up with her competition.

Axel and Maverick are shown running around the carnival while making sure they look at the directory boards to find the tents. Melissa with her great speed approaches the two and gains a short lead.

"Wow," Axle said, impressed by the Fried Freak. "She's…"

"Hot?" Maverick interrupted to see if he got the answer correct.

"I was going to say fast," Axel stated.

"Oh yeah, me too," Maverick lied.

Confessional – Maverick – Power Poppers

"As I was running, I realized that I left my team alone without their leader," He chuckles sheepishly. "Oops."

End Confessional

Speaking of Maverick's team, they are currently deciding on the other two sliders since Lilith allowed Sua to be part of the second challenge. The Power Poppers symbol appears on the screen.

"Okay, we have Sua performing. Any of you three wants to give it a go?" Lilith asked Buford, Jett, and Lisa.

The three looks at each other then back at the goth. None of them wants to participate.

"Why don't you go?" Lisa asked Lilith.

Lilith shrugs with a smile. "Sure, I don't think I'll perform well but this can be fun. Maybe if I splash down deep enough, I might pass out."

Lisa, Buford, and Jett are creeped out by her.

"Anyway, who's also sliding?" Lilith wondered.

"I'll go ahead," Buford finally volunteered.

"Didn't you say you wanted someone else to step up to the plate?" Jett questioned the tall dude.

"Yes, but I now figured that we're going to lose if I don't compete in this challenge," Buford answered the runaway.

"So much for confidence in us," Lisa said as she rolls her eyes.

"Well, my confidence is at a low for all of you so is not like I have high hopes in the first place," Buford commentated. He gets glares from his teammates.

Since Melissa is being the runner, Elsa decides to lead their team on who goes through the slide. The Fried Freaks symbol appears on the screen.

"JJ, Fenton, and Boris you three do the challenge," Elsa told her three teammates.

JJ gives a thumbs up to the gamer girl.

"Um, can I back out of this one?" Fenton asked kindly.

"No, not changing my mind. You three are doing it," Elsa spoke firmly.

"Relax Fenton, I'm sure you'll ace this challenge," Boris assured the sidekick to give him a confidence boost. "Besides, if we lose…" He walks to Elsa to whisper in her right ear. "We know who to vote off."

Elsa gasps in dismay.

Confessional – Elsa – Fried Freaks

"Boris wouldn't vote for me if my team loses, right?" Elsa asked herself, unsure if the rich kid has the capability to do so.

Confessional – Boris – Fried Freaks

"Having to slide and perform a trick to my possible doom? Eh, after bailing out the first challenge for a legit reason, I need to make sure I'm not useless."

End Confessionals

Melissa, Maverick, and Axel arrive at the Bargaby Bludidle Hut almost at the same time. Scarlett notices them and adjusts her glasses.

"Congrats on arriving first Maverick," Scarlett commended the promoter.

"What? But we all got here at the same time," Melissa complained.

"Correction, Maverick arrived approximately one point four seconds faster than you or Axel," Scarlett stated.

"Then I got second," Melissa declared.

"Contrary, Axel made it hear zero point six seconds faster. So, he takes second picks," Scarlett the athletic nerd.

"Sweet," Axel said happily.

"Ugh, how can you see so well with those stupid big glasses?" Melissa insulted. "I bet you're just making up numbers to make you feel all sophisticated."

Scarlett growls lowly, trying her best not to snap. Axel notices Melissa's frustration and his eyes widen.

Confessional – Axel – Sleek Slushies

"Have I been that livid since I got almost eliminated?"

End Confessional

While the three runners purchase items with their teammates' tickets, the Sleek Slushies are shown chilling, waiting for anyone to volunteer in the second challenge. Hilda approaches Tamera to talk with her.

"You'll do great in this second challenge," Hilda told the vixen with a jolly smile.

"Obviously I'll do great," Tamera told her. "I'm sexy, athletic, and took modeling. As if the rest of my team can execute as great as I can."

Hilda frowns at the vixen. Tamera notices this and sighs.

"Thank you for believing in. My team is great, and they'll help us win," Tamera stated in an emotionless tone.

"That's better," Hilda happily said.

"I feel like barfing," Tamera admitted.

Close by, Caleb approaches Marty to chat with him.

"Hey buddy, can you keep a secret between us?" The handsome genius asked the photographer, using a genuine smile.

"Sure dude, what is it?" Marty wondered. He bets the secret is juicy.

"I notice you and Kylie hanging out pretty close these days," Caleb said, his voice a bit low so no one can hear the conversation. "I've dated a bunch of girls before and if you want to get to first base you need to impress her."

"Honestly, I kind of just want to stick as friends, but I wouldn't mind getting to at least second base with her," Marty admitted then chuckles.

Friends with benefits? Caleb did not expect that but hey, that just makes his plan easier.

"Well, I suggest you do the sliding challenge and perform some wicked tricks to get her interested," Caleb suggested.

Marty is unsure of that idea. "I don't know man. I'm more of a behind-the-scenes kind of guy that takes pictures of performers." He points to his camera with the strap around his neck. "Photographer, remember?"

"Dude, you aren't even going to swing that if you can't amaze her," Caleb said, trying to convince his teammate. "Just imagine how many people will be so jealous of you making out with a cheerleader as hot as Kylie. You'll be going places, bragging rights, more ladies will want you to take photos of them, more clients for the career you're invested in."

The thought of having more clients and bragging rights gives Marty a self-confidence boost. He smiles smoothly and adjusts his hair.

"You are right dude, I totally got this," Marty assuredly said. "Thanks for helping me realize that."

"What are buddies for?" Caleb asked rhetorically. He looks at the photographer's camera. "Though, I will have to hold onto your camera. We do not want it to get wet."

Marty gives his strapped camera to Caleb who puts it over his head so the strap can be on his neck that holds the camera.

"Thanks again dude," Marty expressed gratitude once more. He looks at the rest of his teammates and walks away from the handsome genius. "Hey Hilda, I'm taking on the challenge."

Caleb makes sure to look around to see if anyone is watching him. The coast is clear. He turns on Marty's camera and presses the playback button to see photos. The first one he gazes at immediately catches his eyes. Meredith and Buford talking at the Bargaby Bludiddle Hut.

"Well, well, well, no wonder you are keeping this a secret," Caleb said to himself. He then chuckles mischievously.

He hears the Sleek Slushies having a conversation.

"I totally want to go on the slide," Meredith said to Hilda and her other teammates.

"You sure? Maybe we should have him do it," Hilda suggested, pointing two fingers at Garry, who is watching two squirrels fighting for a nut.

"Why don't you give it a try?" Kylie asked Hilda.

"Forgive me, but I know I won't be able to excel in this challenge. I've already had experience with water slides," Hilda apologized.

"Hey no sweat we understand," Marty told her.

"Then just have Meredith do it since she wants to," Tamera advised.

"Alright, then is settled. Our sliders will be Marty, Tamera, and Meredith," Hilda concluded.

Caleb gives out a big smirk. "Is like the universe wants me to succeed in my plan."

Chris and Chef arrive at the scene with a teenager beside them.

The teen has slightly wavy black hair. The sides of his hair are cut short while the top is kept longer. His eyes are hazel green with golden flecks towards the center of his irises. His skin has a slight tan. His body is lean and muscular but not too bulky, with broad shoulders and a trim waist. He is wearing a plain white shirt with the front slightly tucked into tan pants. He also has a dark wash jean jacket with the sleeves rolled up and white converse.

"Hey everyone," Chris called out to the contestants. They look at him. "Meet today's cameo, Raymundo!"

"Sup dudes and dudettes, looking forward to seeing some wicked tricks today," Raymundo told the contestants. He does a click sound twice with his voice, winking and giving two thumbs up all at the same time.

The teams look at each other perplex then back at three judges.

"Who?" Buford wondered.

"Was he a contestant on the show?" Elsa asked the host.

"Is he one of my people?" Garry asked the host as well.

"It is me Raymundo," Raymundo answered. "Remember? A contestant on Total Drama Back to the Islands?"

"That explains why we can't remember you at all," Caleb spoke.

"Hey, that season is good," Chris defended.

"The pre-merge that season is not so great honestly," Lilith spoke honestly.

"I agree, it doesn't get good until episode seven in my opinion," Kylie told the gothic drummer.

"I was in only four episodes so I guess not many will recall me anyway," Raymundo told Chris and Chef, trying not to frown.

"It felt like none," Jett said.

Chris looks around to try and change the conversation. He is not going to have them roast his show like that. The next thing they will talk about would be All-Stars or Pahkitew Island. Fans always complain about those. Even if it is true their quality is weaker than other seasons. Luckily for the host, the runners arrive on the scene.

Melissa, Maverick, and Axel drop their purchased items correspondingly near their teammates.

"Glad you three can make it," Chris said happily. "Teams who will be the sliders?"

Fenton, Boris, and JJ step forward to represent the Fried Freaks. Marty, Tamera, and Meredith do the same for the Sleek Slushies. As well as Sua, Lilith, and Buford for the Power Poppers.

"Alright then, grab one item of your choice and make it up to the two hundred feet slide by the stairs connected to it. Go inside the slide and perform a trick to impress the judges," Chris instructed.

The scene changes to the sliders and Caleb at the top platform to enter the slide. Each person except the handsome genius has an item in their hands.

Sua is holding a red strawberry pink swim ring. JJ is holding five ball pit balls of different colors. Tamera is waving a red ribbon wand to practice. Meredith has a circle shape medieval shield with a symbol on it that resembles the face of King Crowstillo. Lilith is holding a flamethrower gun. She is looking really excited to use it. How was Maverick able to purchase that? Furthermore, why is a flamethrower gun a ticket prize?

Boris is carrying a silver golf stick in his left hand. Buford is playing with a soccer ball, bouncing it carefully on his right knee. Marty is shaking a spray paint can. Lastly, Fenton is playing with a yo-yo. Simple, but can be effective for how many tricks it can provide.

Fenton looks down and notices how high they are.

"Probably shouldn't have looked down," Fenton admitted then stops looking down.

At the bottom Chris, Chef, Raymundo, and the rest of the cast are waiting for the splashes at a safe difference. The host turns on his megaphone to let the contestants on the top hear him.

"Alright teens, time to slide and dive!" Chris exclaimed through his megaphone. "Does not matter the order, but the ones who go last will have to impress us more."

Back at the platform, the sliders look at each other to see who volunteers first.

"Hey Caleb, why are you here with us?" Meredith asked the handsome genius.

"I'm proving the encouragement just in case you, Marty, or Tamera get nervous," Caleb answered her with a smile.

"Me? Nervous? That's not in my vocabulary," Tamera spoke.

"Then I guess you wouldn't mind going first," Buford commentated.

"And have less screentime than all of you? As if I will give up on that," Tamera boasted.

Boris rolls his eyes at the vixen then looks at his teammates. "Fenton or JJ, just go first. The sooner we finish this the better."

"You got it," Fenton told the rick kid and goes inside the slide with his yo-yo. He screams joyfully going through the water slide, feeling the rapid waters under him at high speeds. "This is quite amazing!"

He exits out the slide. Thanks to the ride's end curve, he raises into the air. He sees the people watching him. That is the moment he realizes, what yo-yo trick will he use to impress the judges. Sadly, he thinks too much and just descends into the pool, creating an underwhelming splash.

"That was lame," Chris said. Chef and Raymundo agree with him by nodding.

Fenton gets out of the pool with his yo-yo. He sees the judges showing their scores on a piece of white cardboard. Two, two, and one. Total points being five. The competent sidekick walks towards Elsa and Melissa feeling ashamed.

Confessional – Elsa – Fried Freaks

"Maybe I should have done the slide."

End Confessional

Back at the platform, Marty is preparing himself to go inside the slide. He shakes his spray paint can a bit more then remembers what his buddy Caleb told him. If he wants to impress Kylie, he needs to go all out. So, he shakes the can rapidly for two seconds.

"I don't think that was a good idea," Meredith told the photographer.

"Don't worry your pretty face. I got this," Marty replied confidently. He heads into the slide, unaware of the historian blushing a bit.

Marty cheers ecstatically taking the water slide. Once he reaches the end and is in the air, he starts spraying around him to create a tornado. However, the spray can explodes due to how much he shook it. The dark blue paint covers his face and some of his clothes. Like Fenton, he makes an underwhelming splash into the pool.

"I came here to see tricks," Raymundo told Chris and Chef. "Guess I was right since the tricks are on me."

Marty gets out of the pool, no longer his face covered in blue paint thanks to the water. He looks at the judges' scores. Two, two, and two. A total of six.

"Gave you an extra point since you actually tried to do something," Chris explained.

Marty sighs. So much for impressing Kylie.

At the platform, Sua decides to give it a go. She holds on tight to her swim ring and enters the slide.

"이것은 재미가 아닙니다!" Sua shouted in Korean. She exits out the slide and prepares to perform her trick. Sadly, she pinches the swim ring too hard and pops it. She hears the wind coming from the popped ring. "Oh no."

She screams and holds onto the deflating ring as it sends her flying not to the pool, but the entrance of the water slide. The idol crashes into the entrance, creating a hole. Now she is stuck in the hole. She squirms to get out, but she is stuck there tight.

"Can someone help me?" Sua exclaimed as loud as she could.

"Wow, you all so far are really blowing this challenge," Chris told the contestants. He writes a number on his white cardboard with a black marker. "Just for making me smile at her own misery, I'm giving Sua five points."

Raymundo and Chef still give two points. That is a total of nine for Sua.

Boris is the next to slide down. Upon exiting the slide and rising into the air, he begins twirling his golf stick like a twirling baton. He switches to his right hand to continue twirling. Then he dives into the pool.

Chris, Chef, and Raymundo clap for the blonde's delivery.

"Not bad Boris," Chris complimented. "Wanted more dazzle but compare to the others you certainly did the best. I'm giving you a six."

Chef and Raymundo right their answers on the cardboard. The cook shows the number six while the beach bro shows the number seven.

Confessional – Boris – Fried Freaks

"That increases my chances to stay in case my team loses."

End Confessional

"Woohoo!" Lilith exclaimed eagerly as she exits out of the slide with her flamethrower gun. She does a flip in the air while shooting fire out of the flamethrower. Then she tosses it to the side to dive into the pool.

"Wicked flames dudette," Raymundo told the goth. "Don't think I'll ever try to do that."

"Girl has guts for sure," Chef said impressed.

Chef and Chris give Lilith an eight while Raymundo a nine. The Power Poppers cheer for their teammate as she gets out of the pool.

At the platform, they can hear the cheers coming from below.

"Guess I was wrong about her doing a poor job," Buford admitted.

"Pfft, applauding for her," Tamera scoffed. "Watch how a pro does it." She goes into the water slide.

"How can we watch? We're up here," Caleb pointed out.

Tamera exits out of the slide and twirls the dancing ribbon wand around herself in the air. Then she twirls the ribbon above her head once she descends into the pool. She creates a rather big splash.

"Let's go Tamera!" Hilda cheered excitedly, confusing Axel.

Tamera gets out of the pool with her ribbon and takes a bow towards the judges.

Chris gives her an eight while Chef and Raymundo give a nine.

"That performance deserves a perfect score, but I'll take it," Tamera said. She walks to her teammates, blowing a raspberry at Kylie in the process.

"Only three more to slide," Chris exclaimed to the sliders by using his megaphone.

JJ takes the slide while holding her five ball pit balls in her arms. Buford and Meredith are alone at the top with Caleb.

"Good luck out there," Meredith told the Power Popper. "You're definitely going to perform better than me."

"Well, when you have these guns," Buford told her, flexing his bicep muscles. "You're going to perform well no matter what."

Meredith giggles sweetly and moves her right foot from left to right. "Yeah, those are some mighty guns."

Down below, JJ exits out of the slide and juggles the balls she took in the air, then descends into the pool to create a slightly bigger splash than Tamera.

Chris, Chef, and Raymundo each give her a nine. The Fried Freaks except for Boris cheer for the silent clown as she reunites with the group.

"After JJ's stunning performance, the Fried Freaks end with a total of fifty-one points," Chris declared. "Above average score, not too shabby. Let's see how Buford and Meredith will perform."

At the platform, Buford and Meredith continue to conversate with each other, even throwing a joke or two.

"That's cool you know a lot about history," Buford told Meredith smiling. "I definitely need some help back in high school in those classes."

"It's been a while I have tutored someone," Meredith remembered. "I wouldn't mind repeating history again." She chuckles at her joke.

"That was a terrible joke," Buford admitted with a laugh.

Meredith frowns. "Oh, I didn't think…"

"No wait, it's so bad it is a good kind of deal. You feeling me?" Buford said quickly.

"Oh, then yeah I guess it was bad," Meredith said, trying to giggle.

"I hate to interrupt this lovely chat, but Meredith has the challenge to win," Caleb told Buford. "So go and slide down Bo."

Buford narrows his eyes at the handsome genius. He knows this guy is trouble, but he cannot let his team wait any longer. He looks at the historian with a smirk. "Talk with you later Merry." He goes inside the water slide.

"Wait, didn't he have a soccer ball with him?" Meredith asked Caleb. The handsome genius just shrugs.

Confessional – Caleb – Sleek Slushies

He is holding a soccer ball in his hands. "When Buford started talking with Meredith, he left his ball unattended. I just simply kicked the soccer ball away."

He hears a knock coming from the outside of the photo booth. "Yes?"

"It is football, not soccer," Boris said off-screen.

End Confessional

During the slide, Buford realizes he forgot about his soccer ball. Looks like he will have to improvise. A simple cannonball splash should do the trick. That is what he does. He holds himself together like a ball and does a spin as soon as he exits out of the slide. Since he does not have an item on him, he can do more spins. He splashes into the pool, making a tidal wave that almost catches everyone in the vicinity.

"Whoa, now that was a splash," Chris exclaimed. "Impressive skills Buford, but we're going to have to subtract points since you didn't use an item."

Bo gets out of the pool to join his team. "Eh, I can live with that." He looks at the score the judges give him. Six points from Chris and Chef. Raymundo gives him seven points.

"With Buford done, the Power Poppers get in total fifty-two points. Which means, they beat the Fried Freaks by one point!" Chris announced.

The Power Poppers cheer contently.

Chef passes the megaphone to the host.

"Attention Meredith, if you're able to impress all three judges I will automatically declare the Sleek Slushies the winners of the gold tent," Chris exclaimed at the historian while using the megaphone. "No pressure." He turns off the megaphone.

"How is that fair?" Boris complained.

"Even if Meredith gets a perfect score, she'll tie the Slushies with the Poppers and there is not enough space in the gold tent for two teams," Chris explained his reasoning. "So, she either wins or loses for her team."

At the platform, Meredith is preparing herself to take the slide.

"Oh, I almost forgot," Caleb said out loud to get his teammate's decision. He turns on Marty's camera. "I didn't know Buford and you are becoming a thing."

Meredith turns around to look at him. She begins to sweat out of nervousness. "I and Buford? That's ridiculous. We just talk with each other."

"That's not what I see in this picture," Caleb told her presenting the photo of her with Buford at the hut. "Marty has a nice eye on seeing things."

Meredith backs away from him, almost about to fall into the slide.

"Tell you what Merry, once you cost us the challenge you better vote for who I want gone," Caleb told as he approaches her closely. "Because if you don't, I'll tell everyone about your little secret."

With that blackmail activated, Meredith takes one more step back. She accidentally falls into the slide with her medieval shield. She screams as the water slide descends her. Could the scream be because of how fast the ride is or what Caleb told her? Perhaps it could be both.

Meredith comes out of the slide's exit still screaming. She splashes into the pool without doing any trick.

"That was lame," Chef admitted. Raymundo agrees with him doing a nod.

"Which means the Sleek Slushies will be sending someone home tonight while the Power Poppers take back the gold tent," Chris proclaimed.

The Power Poppers cheer and quickly head to the gold tent. The Fried Freaks walk back to the brown tent. A second-place once again. Meredith gets out of the pool without the shield. She squeezes her hair to let the water get out. She notices her team's expression. There is going to be quite the talk on who to vote for. Caleb walks down the stairs to meet up with his teammates.

The Power Poppers arrive at the gold tent. Their symbol appears on the screen. Buford touches Jett's right shoulder with his left hand before the two can enter.

"We need to talk," Buford told the runaway as the rest of the team enters the tent.

Buforlet'sts go so Jett can turn around.

"What is it?" Jett asked bluntly.

"Early this morning I saw the immunity idol gone. Scarlett told me someone must have stolen it," Buford said. "Since I've seen you pickpocket the wallet from that taxi driver without notice, I was wondering if you can sneak around tonight to find the idol if anyone has it and give it to me."

"What's the catch?" Jett wondered, his eyes looking at Buford suspiciously.

"It's quite a big catch," Buford joked. "You give me the immunity idol once you take it from someone and I'll make sure to help you stay in the game until the merge arrives. Unless we switch teams of course."

It is a pretty sweet deal. Jett can always use the protection, but something still lingers in his mind.

"I didn't take you to be the stealing type," Jett told.

"I'm not, you're the one who is stealing the idol from someone," Buford countered. He extends his left hand to shake hands.

Jett agrees by shaking his hand. "Deal."

Confessional – Buford – Power Poppers

"I'm at the top of the food chain for my team. So I need to make sure I have a safety net. I know I'm playing a bit dirty, but this guy is not going to get voted off the early game. Why did I choose Jett? Well, I doubt the rest of my team are clever enough to steal the idol. Much less search for it."

Confessional – Jett – Power Poppers

"Another deal with Bo. I will admit I'm skeptical of giving him the idol even if I find it. Yes, I have problem trusting my teammates, but this guy gives me backstabbing vibes. Which means this backstabber might have to backstab the other backstabber."

End Confessionals

Boris and Elsa are in front of the entrance to the arcade center. Both of them now are wearing their everyday clothing. The Fried Freaks symbol appears on the screen.

"Considering we haven't gone inside the arcade yet, you must want to tell me something important," Elsa stated.

"We need to make an alliance between us," Boris said, getting to the point.

Elsa sits down on the white entrance stairs. "Whoa, I'm not allying with you. No offense, but I don't want to become a target. Pretty sure I'm already one since I hang out with you."

"Think about it," Boris said as he sits down on the stairs to join the gamer. "If I get voted out at one point. Who do you think the team is going to vote off next?"

The question makes Elsa think.

"We just need to make sure Fenton is in our side or convince JJ that Melissa can be a threat in the future," Boris concluded.

"As if JJ will listen to you," Elsa countered. "You already blew your chance on that."

"She won't listen to me, but she will listen to you," Boris said smugly. "I make sure Fenton is in our side when it comes to elimination while you take care of JJ."

Elsa continues to think. Maybe this can work. She shrugs then stands up. "If you beat me in at least one arcade game we'll make the alliance."

"You make this too easy," Boris spoke honestly. "Is like you have a dumb crush on me." He stands up and enters the arcade center.

"Yeah, dumb crush," Elsa said to herself, rubbing her left arm with her right hand. "Totally stupid."

A new scene emerges with Caleb approaching Garry around the bumper car attraction. Sleek Slushies symbol appears on the screen.

"Ready to vote for who I want out tonight?" Caleb reminded his teammate.

"Sure, do you remember my name?" Garry asked politely. Finally, someone can reminisce him.

"Uh…" Caleb pauses to think. He was so focused on Marty and Meredith he forgot to figure out his name. "No, I haven't. I'll admit that's my fault."

Garry sighs. It was too good to be true.

"But please consider my deal. You vote for who I want to go tonight and the next time I'll vote for whoever you want," Caleb reminded him about the offer.

"Eh, I'll think about it," Garry said as he shrugged.

Inside the brown tent, the rest of the Sleek Slushies are talking about tonight's ceremony. Except for Tamera, who is not with the group. They are sitting at their table. The other Fried Freaks are pretending to not hear their conversation.

"Alright, who is going home tonight? Caleb or Tamera?" Axel asked his team.

"Tamera obviously," Kylie answered first. "We know she sabotaged us during the cooking challenge."

"Maybe… we should vote off Caleb," Marty suggested.

This gets the curiosity from his teammates.

"Why do you want Caleb gone?" Hilda asked the photographer.

"When he gave me back my camera," Marty answered a bit as he puts his camera on the table. "It was on. I had to shut it off after he gave it to me."

"So, you want him gone because he disrespected your privacy?" Axel asked.

"It's not that," Marty assured. "It's because of the photos I have…" He looks at Meredith who is frowning at him, looking sad. He pauses himself to think what he has to say. If he talks about the picture, he will expose the historian hanging out with Buford. However, if he does not say anything Caleb could get away with no votes.

"Okay, is not that either," Marty finished his sentence. "What about today during the second challenge?" He looks at the historian. "We saw you screaming when you got out of the slide. Did Caleb push you?"

All eyes are now on Meredith. What should she say? Even if they do get rid of Caleb, the handsome genius will no doubt expose her. Then Axel will be after her and maybe they will find out she is working with Lucy soon enough.

"No, I just panicked. I didn't think the water slide will turn out to be scary," Meredith lied with pain in her voice. What choice she had to make?

Marty sighs. Looks like he will have to find out another way to eliminate Caleb.

"Then it is settled. We will be voting off Tamera tonight," Axel concluded.

"Wait, maybe we should vote off Caleb," Hilda interjected, getting perplexed looks from her team. "Tamera proved to be capable today during the second challenge."

"Why are you defending her?" Axel wondered, trying to control his emotions. "Are you plotting to backstab us in the future?"

The rest of his team notice the tension rising.

"I will never backstab any of you," Hilda told the gentleman. "But you have to remember this is a competition Axel. I just think we should give Tamera a chance."

"As if, that bitch is going home tonight," Kylie said, finalizing her decision.

Everyone gets up from their seats. Marty, Meredith, and Kylie leave the brown tent to head to the Calamity Ceremony. Axel is about to flee as well before turning around to look at Hilda.

"If you don't want to vote off Tamera, then that's fine madam," Axel told his friend. "But the rest of my team will have many thoughts about who you really are. Even I'm starting to have doubts."

With that being said, Axel leaves the tent.

Confessional – Marty – Sleek Slushies

"Man, I thought I and Caleb were true buddies. The dude went behind my back when I told him my photos are private and now I am sure he knows about Meredith with Buford. I'll just vote for Tamera and team up with Axel to get rid of Caleb."

End Confessional

The Sleek Slushies arrive at the small two-level bleacher to start the Carnival Ceremony. Like their last ceremony, the girls are in the bottom row and the boys are in the second row. Their team's symbol appears on the screen. It is now night.

Chris and Chef are standing next to two lamp posts illuminating them. Chef holds a plate with seven bags of popcorn.

"Welcome back Sleek Slushies," Chris told the team. "You all have cast your votes. But before I announce the contestant that will ride the lame-o-sine, a brief summary of who can potentially leave tonight." He enjoys watching the nervousness of the team. "Marty and Meredith, both of you didn't perform well during the second challenge. Neither scored ten points. Tamera, ever since the cooking challenge none of your teammates like you. Well, maybe one or two. The votes are in. A popcorn bag goes to…"

…

…

…

…

…

"Axel"

The gentleman catches his popcorn bag.

…

…

…

"Kylie"

The cheerleader catches her bag and begins eating some popcorn.

"Garry and Hilda"

"Oh, so that's his name," Caleb told himself quietly as the mentioned teens catch their popcorn.

"You actually know my name?" Garry asked the host.

"I do have your contract dude. I choose not to remember," Chris answered. "Anyway, Meredith and Caleb, you two are safe too."

Tamera and Marty's feet begin to tremble. The photographer has been in this position before while the vixen had a feeling, she will be in the bottom two.

"The final popcorn bag goes too…"

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

"No one, it's a tie again!" Chris exclaimed. This makes all the Sleek Slushies gasp. "Three out of five ceremonies end with a tie? You kids are truly bringing in the ratings."

Confessional – Hilda – Sleek Slushies

"I couldn't vote off Tamera. She came to me for help, and I cannot turn my back on her. Caleb approached me to vote for Marty, so I did vote blindly. I know it's a competition, but it still stings to see one of my teammates leave."

Confessional – Tamera – Sleek Slushies

"Caleb was right. The best he could do to try and save me was get myself into a tie. I told him to talk with Hilda to vote out Marty. Guess it worked." She puts on a face of conclusion. "Though, why would he want to keep me when he blew off the alliance and wants Marty gone?"

Confessional – Caleb – Sleek Slushies

"Why is there a tie? Marty is supposed to lose five votes to three. Hilda, Garry, or Meredith must have switched their vote to Tamera." He gives a serious look to the camera. "One of them is going to pay."

End Confessional

"Tamera and Marty, please stand up," Chris instructed as Chef is shown carrying two gallons of water. One in each hand.

The two teens get out of the bleachers and stay standing. Chef gives each of them a gallon in their hands.

"To win this tiebreaker, one of you needs to finish drinking a gallon of water first," Chris told them. "On your marks."

Both Tamera and Marty open the bottle screw of the gallon.

"Get set…"

Then the two carefully lift the gallon around the same height.

"Drink!"

The two put the gallon in their mouth and begin chugging. The Sleek Slushies except for Caleb and Hilda cheer for Marty. This lends a boost to the photographer to drink faster, gaining a lead. However, his fast consumption allows some water to get on his camera that is carried by the lace strap on his neck.

Both teens take a break from drinking to catch their breath. Marty is currently halfway done while Tamera needs to drink two pints more to catch up with him.

Looking down, Marty notices his camera being wet. "Oh crud," Marty said to himself and quickly removes his camera to put it on the ground.

Tamera takes this small opportunity to chug the gallon once again.

"Don't let her win Marty," Kylie worryingly exclaimed.

Marty gets back to chugging the water. It is a close match to the end. Everyone around the two teens anticipates the victor.

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

"Done!"

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

The person who said that word is Tamera, who demonstrates her victory by turning the gallon upside down. No water spills from it. Marty stops drinking his almost finished gallon, knowing he lost.

"And Tamera secures her stay in the game," Chris proclaimed.

"Yes!" Tamera cheered. Suddenly, she feels her stomach rumbling. "Oh no." She quickly leaves the ceremony to use the bathroom.

Chris and Chef approach Marty as he dries the camera with his light green sweatshirt.

"Marty, your time playing the game is up," Chris informed. "I'll let you have a minute with your teammates before Chef takes you to the lame-o-sine." The host steps back so Kylie, Hilda, Meredith, and Caleb can talk with the eliminated competitor.

"I'm sorry you have to leave," Hilda apologized.

"It's cool Hilda, it's a competition. Sometimes you win and sometimes you lose," Marty said joyfully, taking his elimination well.

"Can I give you a hug?" Hilda offered.

"Sure," Marty answered and the two give a hug. Hilda then leaves the ceremony. Marty looks at Meredith who is unsure what to say.

"They're going to find out eventually," Marty told Meredith. "I wish you the best of luck."

Meredith simply hugs him and walks away without saying a word.

"Hey," Kylie said to Marty. "It stings, doesn't it?"

"Totally, but there's really nothing I can do about it," Marty responded then chuckles.

Kylie's smile gets wider. "You know for a goofball you're pretty cool to hang out with."

"Thanks," Marty said. He looks at Caleb who gives him a thumbs up. He gazes back at Kylie. "I was wondering maybe we could go on a date after the show. Not to become a couple, just a moment to get to know each other better."

Kylie is at first surprised by this. Then again, the two have been kind of flirting from time to time. "I'll think about it. I still want to keep my head in the game."

"I'll take what I can get," Marty accepted her decision. The two hug each other and separate quickly.

"By the way, can I take your camera? I'm sure you would want more photos of this place," Kylie asked kindly. "I'm no picture-perfect person, but I want to help out."

"Sure," Marty agreed. He takes out the strapped camera from his neck and puts it on the cheerleader. "I'll just edit them in case they are awful."

"Ha, ha, very funny," Kylie said sarcastically with an amused smirk.

Marty quickly whispers into her left ear. "Be careful with Caleb. He is more than he leads on."

Kylie laughs. "Caleb is an okay dude who is terrible at flirting."

"I'm right here you know," Caleb spoke, being near the two.

"Take care Marty," Kylie said while waving goodbye. She leaves the ceremony.

Caleb and Marty stare at each other.

"Congrats on kind of getting the girl buddy," Caleb said happily.

"Buddy?" Marty questioned their friendship. "You're the reason I got into the bottom two. I know you did something to Meredith to have her vote for me."

"I don't even know if she did vote for you. I made sure not to have a tiebreaker this time," Caleb confessed.

"Huh?" Marty wondered. "Then how…"

"Look, I'm just playing the game. I'll already set you up with a hot chick," Caleb interrupted. "You're a key player and I needed you gone."

Marty listens to what the handsome genius said. He shakes his side to side. "I don't like that you backstabbed me, but thanks for helping me out with Kylie."

"No problem dude," Caleb said and leaves the ceremony.

Confessional – Caleb – Sleek Slushies

"I already know about Meredith and Buford, so his usefulness became obsolete. Plus, imagine him taking pictures when I'm trying to put my plans into action. The team will target me instead of Tamera. Speaking of her, she's actually useful. As long as everyone is busy with her I can sneak by and pick off the others likes apples in a pond. Wait that simile is stupid."

End Confessional

Chris is shown at the ceremony alone, ready to end the episode. "Another gone, seventeen to go. Who will Caleb strike next? How long Meredith can keep her secret from her teammates? Can Hilda turn Tamera into a good person? How will Axel feel about this? Will Jett find the stolen immunity idol? Can Maverick truly lead the Power Poppers? Can Boris and Elsa's alliance succeed? And what will happen to Melissa and Fenton? Find out next time on Total… Drama… Carnival Calamity!"

At the Lame-o-sine, Marty is inside sitting in the back.

"I feel mixed on going out like this. On one hand, the person I trusted backstabbed me. On the other hand, he set me up with Kylie," Marty said.

"You lost a chance at five million dollars," Rosalina said to him while driving the limousine.

"Oh right, then it was a loss," Marty realized.

There is an awkward silence.

"Are you single?" Marty asked Rosalina.

While driving, Rosaline uses her right hand to throw a plastic cup of water at the photographer. The cup opens on impact gets Marty wet.

"I get it, too soon to ask that," Marty admitted.

Author's Note: That was episode seven of Carnival Calamity. Not much to talk about except the elimination. I always planned Caleb being the one that partially causes Marty's downfall. Someone with a camera to take pictures would become a threat to many who do not want their plans revealed intentionally or by accident. I do believe I did a good job with him. A guy who likes to take pictures while trying to have fun.

As always, thanks to everyone who reviews my story, you are awesome.
