Merge
Boys: Buford, Fenton, and Caleb
Girls: JJ, Tamera, Lilith, and Sua
Flashbacks begin to occur. Chris narrates events from the previous episode. "Last time on Total Drama Carnival Calamity, the remaining eight contestants were challenged to a fun time of fishing for you guessed it, fish. Once obtaining three fishes, a bluefish, and a redfish each player drove an airboat to the finishing line."
"JJ proved herself once again to be a strong player in the field, being the first to win the challenge. Axel decided to go all out against Caleb to take out the guy that tried to get rid of him before. However, Caleb was one step ahead and used Marty's camera to blind Axel, causing the gentleman to crash."
"Sua and Fenton teamed up for the first time while Lilith, Buford, and Tamera had to share an airboat thanks to Sua's sabotaging. In the end, Axel caused his own downfall and sent himself straight to the lame-o-sine."
The flashbacks end. Chris is shown at the carnival's camp amphitheater. "Seven players remain! We are near the end folks. Who will go home today? Find out now on Total… Drama… Carnival Calamity!"
The intro begins, with a camera popping out from a large pot containing Chef's revolting gruel, then from a bird's nest on a roller coaster sign entrance, and then from a carnival booth with pink stuff animals next to it. A smooth transition from a roller coaster descending to the three tents in the carnival is shown. A clapper pops up to commence the action.
Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine
A camera drone enters the blue tent showing Chris McLean taking a shower, his upper body exposed while the rest of him is covered with a towel. He notices the camera drone and hits it with a bar of soap.
You guys are on my mind
The camera drone gets out of the tent and shows Tamera and Caleb driving bumper cars in the bumper car attraction. They collide with each other. The impact causes an explosion.
You asked me what I wanted to be,
The camera drone shows Sua and Lily walking on the Penguin Emporium ice to catch some penguins.
and I think the answer is plain to see
Sua accidentally trips on the ice, slides into the cold pool, and gets frozen.
I wanna be famous!
Marty is swimming up from a different pool in his swimsuit, but the editing makes it look like it was in the cold one. Upon catching some air, he winks at Kylie and Meredith who are near the exit of the tall slide. Both are also wearing swimsuits.
I wanna live close to the sun
JJ is putting her clown makeup on in the confessional photo booth.
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won
Maverick and Fenton are inside a haunted house looking at a coffin. Maverick opens the coffin and Lilith pops out to reveal herself. This causes Fenton to scream and run away.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
Boris and Elsa are shown competing in an arcade fighting game machine in the arcade center. Both are smirking at each other. Garry waits patiently in a chair for his turn.
I'll get there one day
The lights suddenly turn off and a laser tag fight is shown between Melissa, Buford, and Edgar using laser guns. Melissa gets competitive and shoots at the two boys, causing them to get electrocuted. She looks at them with concern.
Cuz' I wanna be famous
Gabriel is near the carousal explaining politics on a chalkboard to Axel and Hilda who are interested in his talk.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na
Lucy, Duncan, Noah, Scarlett, and Chef are shown drinking Crowstillo wine and connecting their glass cups to celebrate their break. Lucy however maintains a sturdy look at Scarlett.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
Blue smoke appears engulfing the sight of the camera drone. The Ringleader shows himself with a rascally smirk before dropping a grenade that explodes green grass.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!
At the aftermath studio, Lisa and Jett are sitting on the center couch. Lisa goes for a kiss to her crush, but Jett is conflicted on whether to kiss her back or not. Before he can decide Georgia pushes the two off the couch so she can sit there. Christopher sits next to her co-host. The two of them whistle as the camera drone zooms out to show the Calamity Cast, the aftermath hosts, Chris, and Chef whistling as well. Above them is a sign that lights up with the words Total Drama Carnival Calamity.
The episode starts with the Ringleader shoving Scarlett onto a tile floor. Luckily for the brainiac, she hits her shoulder onto the ground before her head. The Ringleader then buts his left red boot on the brainiac's head, causing Scarlett to groan in pain.
"You have a lot of nerve crawling back here," Ringleader told Scarlett menacingly. "Give me a good reason why I shouldn't turn you a full grasshopper to squash on."
The organization Chaos X watches everything that is going on.
"Because I have intel about your lab," Scarlett told, feeling slightly nervous.
"And that is?" Ringleader requested to know.
"If you let me rejoin, I'll state my datum," Scarlett offered.
Ringleader shifts his head to the left, looking at Nathan/Boss.
"The more the merrier Doc," Nathan told the Ringleader.
Ringleader takes out his left foot from Scarlett's head and takes a few steps back for the brainiac to get up.
"There are individuals safeguarding your laboratory inside," Scarlett told Ringleader. "If you and Chaos X were to dose now, all would be ambuscaded."
"I see," Ringleader stated. "Thank you for that desirable information." He turns around and gives a glance at the mutated cop.
The cop uses her pink eye to shoot a plasma beam at Scarlett's stomach. The brainiac clenches her stomach and gets on her knees.
"Well done, Iris," Ringleader told the cop. "The rest of you, sent her somewhere where the cops can find her. We don't want to be tracked down again."
"We agreed that I make commands around here," Nathan starkly told Ringleader. Then he points at himself. "I'm the Boss of this whole operation. Don't forget that."
Ringleader stops walking but does not turn around. "Very well… Boss, you decide what to do with Scarlett. Come, Iris."
Iris follows Ringleader, leaving Chaos X alone with the injured groaning brainiac.
"Should we keep her?" Bandages asked Nathan unsure.
Nathan sighs. "As much I dislike admitting it, keeping her will do us more harm than good in taking care of our friend."
"Where would you like me to drive?" Knives asked his boss.
"Someplace where she would not be a threat to us," Lily spoke.
"We know a place," Masky and Gazzer said at the same time.
"Very well," Nathan said and gives instructions. "Knives will drive while you two lead to the destination to drop Scarlett off. Bandages and I will tag along."
"What about me?" Lily asked, getting close to her boyfriend.
"You'll keep an eye on the Ringleader in case he tries to go solo to the carnival. The time is almost complete," Nathan told Lily.
"You got it Boss," Lily said then gives a quick kiss on Nathan's cheek. She watches her organization leave the scene. Bandages and Gazzer drag Scarlett away by her arms.
The pain Scarlett feels in her stomach is sickening. However, what is also sickening is her defeat. She did not anticipate any of this to happen to her.
Once Chaos X leaves, Lily frowns. "I hope your plan works Boss."
At the carnival where the show is filming, JJ is inside the gold tent by herself. She is shown making balloon animals. She has a large balloon spider on the table, a squirrel, and a penguin. Then there is an actual size balloon alligator and bear on the floor. Finishing what she is making is a balloon platypus.
She hears someone knocking on one of the holding pipes to the gold tent. She looks to her right and sees her friend Fenton. She waves at him.
"Hey JJ, can I bring the others in here?" Fenton asked the silent clown kindly.
JJ gives a thumbs up. Then she looks surprised to see Fenton bring everyone into the tent except for Caleb.
"Oh, you were expecting just one or two," Fenton said to JJ, noticing her astonished face. He chuckles sheepishly. "Should have been specific."
"Nice balloons," Lilith complimented JJ. She stares at the balloon spider. "Especially this one, can I keep it?"
JJ nods and Lilith starts squeezing the balloon spider.
"I will hug him and squeeze him and call him George," Lilith declared bubbly. She accidentally cuddles too much the spider and pops it.
"Sometimes I wonder what your level of smartness is because obviously doing that would make it pop," Buford told the gothic drummer.
Lilith narrows her eyes at Bo but smiles. "You're right, how silly of me."
JJ taps Fenton's shoulder and gives her friend a curious look at what is going on.
"Oh, Tamera can explain," Fenton told JJ.
All five teens in the tent look at Tamera.
"I know almost none of us are really connected," Tamera said. "But we all have a common enemy. Its…"
"Caleb!" Sua shouted maniacally. "What should we do first? Shave his head? Bury him alive? Or trap him in his own sleeping bag where he can…"
"And that's enough talk out of your mouth," Buford retorted, ignoring the glare Sua is giving him. "I still don't think we should not focus on one person. We all know what happened to Axel."
"Then we won't focus on him. Unless we can," Tamera suggested. "When the opportunity arises all of us can team up to take him down."
"You just want him gone since Caleb got rid of him," Buford spoke as he crosses his arms.
"I'm pretty sure Axel admitted it was his fault," Fenton recapped.
"I'm fine with taking him down," Lilith referred to the handsome genius. "Sua and I are pretending to stick by his side, so he won't see us doing a surprise attack."
Suddenly, the life-size bear balloon pops. This scares the contestants to look at what could have caused the burst. Sua and Lilith's eyes widen seeing Caleb holding a small needle thread in his right hand.
"Surprise attack huh?" Caleb said unamused. "I expected a betrayal from Sua but looks like I underestimated another opponent of mine."
"Caleb," Lilith said feeling guilty. "I was…"
"Don't lie Lilith, is not a good look on you," Caleb told the goth. Then he narrows his eyes at the teens in front of him. "Let's make one thing clear. I'm here to win the money. No matter how many team-ups you all do I will come out on top." He pops the balloon alligator. "That's a warning, don't mess with me."
Caleb starts walking out of the gold tent but turns around to say something. "Oh, and you all are stupid. Seriously, you all thought I wouldn't get suspicious of everyone suddenly walking to the gold tent." He scoffs and now leaves the gold tent.
Lilith still feels guilty about what she was planning to do. Caleb is a jerk, but would she not also be a jerk backstabbing him? Is just for the game. No hard feelings, right?
Buford shakes his head left to right disappointedly. "Telling you all, we shouldn't focus on him."
"And who would you like to focus on may I ask?" Tamera wondered.
Buford flinches. Telling anyone who wants out will paint an immediate target on his back.
"Come on everyone, we can't break this up already. We are here for one goal," Fenton said.
"Exactly Fenton, we must unite," Buford proclaimed, hoping people forget what Tamera told him to say.
"Stick to podcasting and not political speeches," Sua bitterly told Bo.
The speakers throughout the carnival turn on. "Attention final seven, meet me at the camp carnival amphitheater in less than twenty minutes to start today's challenge!" Chris announced through the speakers.
Confessional – Caleb
He is eager to start the challenge. "One against six? Pfft, I've heard stories where a man can defeat an entire army. I'm pulling out all the strategies my creative mind can come up with to ensure those five million dollars is mine."
Confessional – Tamera
She looks nervous. "I have no clue what to do. I like causing drama, but the slight tick can get everyone against me. I'm already struggling enough as it is." She breathes then gets a determined look. "But Axel and Hilda are counting on me."
Confessional – Buford
"Despite him being the reason Lisa rigged the votes against my girlfriend I feel like I need to keep Caleb in the game. Yeah, it sounds stupid, but every remaining dude and gal left wants him metaphorically dead. Might as well try to get rid of JJ when no one is watching."
Confessional – Lilith
She is frowning. "Is it really awful trying to backstab someone when they probably have done it their whole life?"
Confessional - Sua
"Wonder what I can break today."
Confessional – Fenton
"Why do I suddenly feel like I haven't done much to get so far in this game?"
Confessional – JJ
The clown makes a Chris balloon to give to the host.
End Confessionals
The seven contestants, Chef, and Chris are on the stage of the camp size amphitheater. The players notice several cages covered in a large yellowish-white cloth. The seven can hear animal noises coming from the cages. This frightens them a bit except for Lilith and Sua, both wanting to know what the challenge today is about.
"Welcome final seven to today's challenge," Chris told the contestants. "During the prime time of the circus, there will be animal acts to perform live at a viewing audience. People in charge of the circus would hire animal trainers or the employees themselves will do the task."
"Are we going to train animals today? Oh my gosh, can I get a lion?" Lilith excitedly spoke.
"No, for not letting me finish explaining the challenge you will not be training a lion," Chris told the drummer, ruining a bit her happiness. Lilith shrugs it off though.
"There's not even a lion in these cages. The producers didn't want to endanger you all," Chef told the contestants.
"I feel like that has more to deal with the animal activists," Fenton said.
"Pfft, who cares," Chris shrugged and rolled his eyes. "They only watch this show if it benefits them. Anyway, like Lilith said while interrupting me."
"Sorry," Lilith apologized.
"Today all of you will be training one animal to perform at least one trick to impress Chef and me. You all have until noon. So, about three hours. That is when each contestant with their animal will perform on stage one by one. The contestants that can successfully have their creature do a trick wins immunity and access to the gold tent. Those unable will be set up to be voted off," Chris explained the challenge.
All the contestants nod, understanding what they have to do.
"Will we be choosing our animal or is it by random?" Caleb asked the host.
"By random chance of course," Chris exclaimed contently with his dashing smile. "As if I'm going to let any of you take the easy way out. Chef, if you please."
Chef takes out his cooking hat from the top of his head with a grin. "You will be picking a card from my hat. Your options, these." The cook takes out the large yellowish-white cloth to reveal the seven animals, each in a different size cage. There are empty cages but those are not important.
The contestants see a dark green alligator, a spider, a grizzly bear, a blue squirrel with a white stomach, a penguin, a platypus, and a clownfish in a fishbowl.
"The producers didn't want to endanger us with a lion yet one of us has to train an alligator or a bear?" Buford exclaimed in shock.
"Why are you surprised? Didn't you watch the show?" Tamera taunted.
JJ runs up to pick a card from inside Chef's hat, but Sua pushes her to the stage floor.
"I'm picking first, me!" Sua exclaimed. She takes a card out of Chef's hat and gets a penguin symbol. "Yes!" The idol rushes up to the cage where the penguin is in.
The penguin looks frightened. The creature has a crest of yellow plumes that extend behind its eyes. It also has a bare pink patch of skin at the base of its bill.
"We are going to have so much fun together," Sua told the penguin maniacally and begins cackling.
Chris and Chef watch this and get a bit worried.
"Okay, now that Ms. Insane has her penguin. Who is next?" Chris asked the other six contestants.
JJ gets up from the stage floor and picks a card from inside Chef's hat. She gets a card with a clownfish symbol. She looks at the clownfish inside the fishbowl and smiles. She can handle this.
"At least she got something difficult," Buford murmured before walking up to Chef. He takes a card and gets an alligator symbol. He looks at the scaly reptile. It is grinning at him.
"Figures," Buford said, disappointed he did not get something easy.
Lilith decides to pick a card next and squeals in excitement. "I get to have the spider, yeah!"
The dark brown goliath birdeater spider looks happy to be paired with Lilith. The drummer opens the spider's cage and lets the spider crawl onto the top of her head.
"Awe, he's friendly," Lilith said smiling.
Fenton shivers at the spider as he approaches Chef. He picks a card and gets frightened.
"The bear!?" Fenton exclaimed in horror.
"I was hoping Caleb would get that, but this should be entertaining to watch as well," Chris said.
Fenton approaches the grizzly bear in its cage.
"Hi there," Fenton greeted nervously.
The grizzly bear smiles at the short kid and uses its left paw to grab Fenton by the shirt.
"Help me," Fenton pleaded in a squeaky voice.
Chris and Chef watch the bear attack Fenton off-screen. They wince as they hear the teen's cries for help. The grizzly bear then throws Fenton out of the amphitheater stage. The sidekick is on the ground dirt with several scratches on him.
Fenton sobs in agony. JJ quickly goes to aid him.
While that is going on, Caleb and Tamera make eye contact with each other. They are only two animals left either can get. Which is a purple platypus with an orange bill, tail, and feet, or a blue squirrel with brown eyes, and a white stomach.
"Ladies first," Caleb taunted Tamera, knowing that is what Axel would say if he was here right now.
This does not bother Tamera though. "Shouldn't you be walking over there then?" The vixen retorted smirking.
Caleb narrows his eyes. "Just go, you're either getting a squirrel or a platypus that doesn't do much. No matter which one you get I still have an easy victory."
"Whatever," Tamera brushed off. She picks a card from Chef's hat and gets an acorn symbol. "I'm guessing the squirrel is mine."
"Correct," Chris confirmed. "Which means Caleb gets the platypus."
The platypus makes noise with its teeth.
"I don't think platypuses have teeth," Caleb pointed out.
"Don't question it. It's already weird enough having a duckbill, otter feet, and a beavertail," Chris told the handsome genius.
"Fair enough," Caleb said.
Confessional – Buford
"An alligator, of all the animals I could have gotten it had to be that." He shrugs. "Eh, I guess it is not so bad. Don't have to deal with a giant spider on me."
Confessional – Lilith
The goliath spider is still on the drummer's hair. "This is going to be great. I am a huge fan of spiders. Think I've mentioned before I had spiderwebs in my room when six. Though, we have to figure out a trick for you to do."
The goliath spider crawls around the goth's body. Lilith giggles.
"That tickles."
End Confessionals
Around the water slide attraction, Sua is with her penguin.
"Now, what shall we do?" Sua asked the penguin, having her left hand hold its right flipper.
The penguin is shivering in fear.
"Don't act like that, I was your queen during the catching challenge," Sua told. "Or are you a penguin Chris brought that was not with the flock?"
The penguin's answer is more shivering.
"Is there anything you do besides shiver?" Sua wondered.
The penguin stops shivering and begins squawking.
The idol ignores the squawking to come up with a trick she can teach the penguin. Everyone has technically teamed up to get rid of Caleb. But where is the fun in that? That is boring there is no chaos.
Sua shuts the penguin's beak with her left hand to stop its screeching. "I have a trick to teach. Let's see how you work well with sabotaging others. Let's prove to them which is the superior species."
At the storage place, Noah the intern is opening the door so Caleb can enter. The handsome genius looks at his platypus who continues to do nothing.
"Wow, you really barely do anything," Caleb told the platypus.
Noah opens the storage door. "You have ten minutes before I am obligated to close this again."
"Plenty of time for me to think of something," Caleb told the bookworm. Noah does not care and walks away.
The platypus makes noise.
"Yeah, yeah, don't be impatient," Caleb told the mammal. "Not like you have to confront some evil scientist or whatever."
Caleb heads inside the storage room and begins tossing out random items. "I just need to get out as many items before Noah closes this."
He finds a random brown fedora hat. "Funny this looks like a perfect fit for you." The handsome dude heads out of the storage room to meet up with his platypus. "This would look nice."
Caleb puts the fedora hat on the platypus. The platypus then stands up on its two bottom feet.
"Well, that's weird," Caleb admitted.
The platypus uses its tail to strike the teen's right cheek.
"That's even weirder," Caleb said, rubbing his sore cheek.
The platypus gets into a fighting stance and uses its tail again, transitioning to a new scene with JJ inside the gold tent looking at her clownfish.
JJ is pondering what kind of trick to teach the fish. It is small and aquatic. Swimming is not going to cut if for Chris and Chef. She looks at the many toy animal balloons she made in her free time to see if she can get any inspiration by looking at them. Upon observing, she gazes at a balloon seal.
This is when her idea comes in. She takes out a small purple ball from her wig and places it next to the fishbowl. The clownfish is wondering what the silent clown wants it to do. JJ then takes out a small replica of a different fish and puts it next to the purple ball. Finally, a small can of fish food.
JJ puts the small ball on the fish replica, instructing the clownfish to do the same. JJ puts the purple ball into the fishbowl. The clownfish stares at her as the ball slowly drops. The clownfish then does a bubble fart.
JJ scratches a bit of her wig. This is going to be more difficult than she thought.
Fenton is still at the amphitheater stage. He has not released the grizzly bear from its cage. He also has the key in his right hand to open the cage.
The grizzly bear seems to be enjoying Fenton being nervous and concerned.
"Okay, um, let's see," Fenton ponders. He needs to release the bear and think of a trick for it to learn. But there are so many tricks to teach. How is he going to pick one for the bear? Speaking of the bear it is growling.
"Oh right, you want to be out of this cage," Fenton remembered. "Sure, but please don't attack me again."
Fenton opens the cage with his key, and the grizzly bear immediately grabs him by his shirt again. The bear then throws the short boy into the cage. Lastly, the bear grabs the key from Fenton and locks the cage.
Fenton notices himself being trapped with the bear. He chuckles worryingly. "Okay, you had your fun big guy, but I think we should really focus on… ah!"
The grizzly bear goes for a tackle.
Scene changes to show Tamera looking at the blue squirrel she was given sitting on a tree.
"I hope you are not expecting me to climb up there," Tamera told the squirrel. "Get down here now."
The squirrel mocks Tamera by making faces. Then it proceeds to throw acorns at the vixen's face.
"Hey, watch this luscious body," Tamera exclaimed.
The squirrel tries to throw more acorns but notices the acorns from the tree are gone. It threw all of them already. Tamera notices this and grabs all the acorns.
"Sucker! Looks like you have to come down after all. You won't be getting your nuts until I teach you a trick," Tamera spoke confidently. "Now be a good little squirrel and do as I say."
The squirrel raises its right fist at the vixen then climbs down the tree. The squirrel then screeches and dives into the pile of acorns Tamera has. The squirrel decides to be mischievous and head into Tamera's pants.
Tamera screams in horror. "Get off of me! Get out of my pants!"
The squirrel leaves once it takes a nut out of the vixen's pants.
"Grr!" Tamera scowled at the squirrel but then gets an idea. She smirks sinisterly. "I believe I have a wonderful trick up my sleeve."
A new scene emerges with Lilith and the goliath spider outside the haunted house attraction. "Ok George, burrow!" Lilith happily instructed the spider.
George begins burrowing into the ground. After a few seconds, it comes back with a human-size bone in its mouth.
"Awesome!" Lilith exclaimed. "Good boy." She takes a few dead bugs she placed on the ground and feeds them to the spider. "Now try to use your sticky web to get some more stuff."
George nods and burrows back down. Upon arriving on to surface again, the spider retrieves a human skeleton body. Complete with a skull.
Lilith is surprised that George salvaged a skeleton body. Are there more dead bodies lying under the carnival? Nevertheless, who cares. She and her spider friend discovered a skeleton. How great is that?
"Oh, who's a good giant spider?" Lilith said as she bends down and extends her left arm so George can crawl onto her. Lilith starts petting the arachnid. "You are, yes you are, you precious beautiful creature."
At the Gator Swamp Chomp attraction, Buford and his alligator are walking on the dock.
"I brought you here to be in your element," Buford told the alligator. "And to let you know I care about you."
The alligator smiles and dives into the river.
"Don't go swimming away," Buford told the reptile. "I allow you to be here so now you have to return the favor."
The alligator lifts its head out of the water to look at the tall dude.
"Much appreciated," Buford thanked. "Now, what can I possibly train you to do?"
A frog is shown hopping lily pad to lily pad until the alligator goes to eat it in one chomp. This gets Buford an idea.
"Perfect," Buford stated.
Chris and Chef are shown inside the security footage building, watching all the contestants doing the challenge. Each is sitting on a comfortable black chair with wheels.
"So, you think the producers will extend the show's contract to have more seasons?" Chris asked Chef.
"Unlikely, one of them is insisting on having it over after the next season," Chef answered. He looks at the footage. "Want to bet?"
"Picks for final four?" Chris suggested.
"Deal," Chef grinned, confident he will guess the most right.
Back with Sua and her penguin at the water slide area. The idol is wearing square glasses and a black-tie while writing instructions on how to sabotage on a chalkboard with white chalk.
The penguin is still shivering.
"Okay, let's recap what we have learned," Sua told the penguin, looking at it. "We lure the alligator with a scent." The idol shows her writing and terrible drawings on the chalkboard while giving instructions. "Then we put the scent on the other creatures. I don't need to explain any further details."
The penguin squawks at Sua.
"Where are we going to get the scent to make our sabotage work? I already know," Sua grinned.
The penguin looks at a camera and shrugs. It has no idea what this psycho is capable of.
Caleb is shown running across the empty carnival booths. He is trying to escape the platypus wearing the fedora.
"It is just a platypus. Why is it kicking my butt?" Caleb wondered.
The handsome genius enters the brown tent and quickly heads to his sleeping bag to grab Marty's camera. He turns on the camera and uses its flash to blind the platypus that is going for a jump kick. The platypus lands on the ground with its back feet then rubs its eyes.
Caleb takes the opportunity to take the fedora out of the mammal's head. The platypus gets on all fours and makes its sound.
"Well, I know what kind of trick to show Chris and Chef," Caleb admitted.
Inside the gold tent, the clownish JJ is training is finally balancing the purple ball on its lips. JJ claps happily for the clownfish doing a great job.
Tamera is walking around the Bargaby Bludiddle Hut and notices Duncan cleaning it. When the delinquent is not looking Tamera takes an acorn out of her left blue jeans pocket. Then she uses a cricket bat she took out of nowhere. She lowers the bat and drops the acorn. Then hits the acorn with the bat, sending the acorn into Duncan's pants.
Duncan feels something entering his pants and turns around to notice Tamera waving innocently at him.
"Alright, what did you do?" Duncan exclaimed, having a clear idea Tamera did something.
Tamera simply snaps her fingers, and the blue squirrel appears, attacking Duncan. Tamera cannot help but laugh as the delinquent runs around trying to get the squirrel off him.
In front of the haunted house, George the spider continues retrieving stuff from the ground. There is a treasure chest near Lilith, as well as a mini helicopter, a toy train, a kayak, and a mummy crab costume.
"George!" Lilith called out to her friendly spider who dug in one of the holes. "Come on George, we can't let you overwork yourself. We have to perform soon."
George gets out of a hole and crawls onto Lilith. The two start to hear grunting from a male voice.
The guy getting out of a hole has medium length, down to neck straight black hair. He has blue eyes and has a thin face, with some scratches around his cheeks. He has a nose with a small mouth plus a small beard that is beginning to show. He is thin wearing an orange jail uniform. Lastly, he is wearing a red bandana on the top of his head.
"I'm free, free!" The convict exclaims happily.
Lilith puts her left boot down on the convict's head to stomp him. Screams of the convict can be heard as he descends throughout the tunnel George burrowed.
Buford is shown painting the number one thousand in white on a small dumbbell at the docks. Then he paints the rest of the dumbbell in yellow. "Alright gator, bite," Bo commanded as soon he finishes painting.
The alligator growls.
"Oh right, the paint hasn't dried yet," Buford realized.
Confessional – Buford
Some time has passed since he is holding the painted dumbbell. "This only weighs ten pounds," the tall dude referred to the dumbbell. "But I'm giving it the one thousand number to trick everyone into thinking the alligator can break that with its jaw and teeth. I mean, it obviously can since it's ten pounds, but you get the point."
He puts the dumbbell on the ground. "Is it wrong? No, it's pretty obvious is not a thousand-pound dumbbell. But I'm banking on Chris and Chef's stupidity to get me the win."
End Confessional
At the amphitheater, Fenton is shown cuddling himself in a fetal position as the grizzly bear licks its left paw. Fenton has part of his clothing ripped while also having claw marks all over his body.
"So, this is how it ends," Fenton told himself quietly, so the bear does not hear him. "Me being useless at helping myself. Even if today, I lose, someone else is probably getting voted off. The others deserve the win more than me."
Flashback #1
Melisssa turns around to not face Fenton. "The only way I see you getting over this is becoming leader of the team, but I've worked too hard to make sure I stay in this position."
Flashback #2
Fenton, JJ, and Kylie are talking next to the brown tent at night. "But I don't know how to lead," Fenton exclaimed. "I jumped into the pool before resting my meal. How do I know when I'm ready to lead?"
Once the second flashback ends Fenton whimpers before putting on a determined look. He begins to stand.
"I don't know how to lead others, but that doesn't mean I can't lead on what I want to do," Fenton proclaimed as he narrows his eyes at the grizzly bear.
The bear yawns out of boredom and begins stretching to get ready for another pounding on his prey. However, Fenton does quick thinking and grabs the key inside the cage while the bear stretches. Surprised by this maneuver, the bear gets up quickly and roars.
Fenton opens the cage thanks to the key, gets out, and locks it to keep the bear inside. The bear roars once again angry.
Once the bear finishes Fenton speaks. "Look, I already know you don't care about helping me in this challenge. You're big animal times I don't know how much my weight. But I need to win. Not because I might get voted off, but because I need to stand up for myself for once in my life. So, you perform a trick at the stage later on and I'll take some food from Chef's fridge to give to you."
The mention of food gets the bear's attention. The creature nods in agreement and extends its right paw to do a handshake.
"Keep your part of the pact," Fenton glared at the grizzly. "I don't need to shake your hand. Just do it the act."
The speakers throughout the carnival turn.
"Attention final seven, everyone better be here in ten minutes to continue onto the second phase of today's challenge," Chris announced.
Confessional – Fenton
"Was I harsh, yes. So what? Some people or I guess bear in this instance can't treat me like I'm trash. I already got beaten up by that beast three times today. At one point it felt like it was messing with me."
End Confessional
Everyone is now at the amphitheater. The seven contestants with their animal performers are behind the stage waiting to be called. Chris and Chef are sitting on chairs at a table viewing the stage, waiting to judge.
"Welcome everyone to Total Drama's annual animal circus view," Chris told the audience.
"This isn't annual. In fact, this is the first time we're doing this," Chef pointed out.
"Don't ruin the moment," Chris told the cook. "Anyway, first up will be Caleb since he didn't pick a card."
Caleb curses off-screen but it is censored.
"Follow by Tamera and her squirrel. Basically, last to first from the card selection earlier today," Chris continued.
As Caleb and his platypus get on stage, Sua and her penguin look at each other to activate their plan. The psycho has a small bucket next to her with a closed lid. The penguin puts on a plastic flipper glove, walks to the bucket, and opens the lid. There is red liquid inside the bucket. The penguin covers its flipper glove in red. Sua closes the lid.
The penguin then goes and puts red liquid on the squirrel, spider, and clownfish.
The contestants notice this action and look at Sua.
"Sua, what's going on?" Lilith asked with concern.
"Let the show commence," Sua grinned wickedly.
The alligator starts sniffing the red substance and becomes attracted to its scent.
Buford notices the look on the gator's hungry face and gets worried. He looks at the animals that got a spot painted red. He realizes what Sua is doing. Before he can tell everyone to run the alligator goes for the blue squirrel and puts the rodent in its jaw.
Everyone gasps in horror. The alligator then chews on the goliath spider.
"George, no!" Lilith cried dreadfully.
JJ tries to save her clownfish, but the alligator uses its tail to break the glass bowl. The reptile then eats the fish.
The penguin, not wanting to become a meal throws its red-covered glove onto the bear's face. The alligator then wrestles the bear.
"What is going on here!?" Chris wondered annoyed, arriving backstage with Chef, Caleb, and the platypus after hearing all the noise. All four notice the bear and alligator fighting each other. "Somebody, stop this!" The host shouted.
Quick thinking, Caleb puts on the fedora hat from earlier on the platypus. The platypus gets into a battle stance. Then the mammal uses its tail to slap the bear and alligator so both of them can stop. The two beasts glare at the platypus.
The platypus shows the red tainted glove it took from the bear and throws it far away so the alligator can follow it. Once the chaos finishes Caleb takes off the fedora hat from the platypus. The bear does not know what to do so it accidentally sits on Sua. The idol yelps in pain.
"What just happened? Why have half the animals disappeared?" Chris demanded answers. He then gets a whiff of some smell coming from the bucket of red liquid. He opens the lid of the bucket and almost hurls. "And what is this doing here? I have to deal with a lot of potential lawsuits if I believe what that is."
All the contestants stare at Sua under the grizzly bear. Buford and Caleb look disappointed. Tamera, Fenton, and JJ are still caught off guard by the idol's action. Lilith is the most hurt out of all of them.
Chris and Chef notice this, so they look at the idol.
"Sua, explain," Chris demanded sternly.
The bear stands up and leaves the scene. Sua rapidly goes to put her penguin in her arms.
"I wanted to teach my penguin how to sabotage as a trick for the show," Sua elucidated to the host.
"Sua, as much as that would have been awesome to see, you were supposed to save the trick when you are on stage," Chris informed.
"Oh," Sua realized but still keeps a bright smile. "But I still win since I showed a trick, correct?"
"No, you didn't win," Chris informed. "You are also in a lot of trouble for these actions," the host told Sua seriously. "Is one thing to sabotage, but I can tell a rule was broken with what's in the bucket. Everyone, meet me tonight at the calamity ceremony. There will be no voting today, but someone is going home tonight."
Chris and Chef leave the amphitheater.
"I started thinking you were smarter than I gave credit for, but turns out I was right all along," Caleb told Sua and walks away.
Tamera and Buford do not say a word and walk away as well. JJ, Fenton, and Lilith stay. The penguin Sua has in her arms breaks free and waddles away.
Fenton is about to speak until the grizzly bear appears again and growls at him. "Fine, come with me." The bear follows the short kid, both leaving the area.
Sua notices the sadness in Lilith and JJ and frowns. "I got carried away, didn't I?"
"Sua, was it necessary to do all this?" Lilith wondered, trying not to cry because of what happened to George.
"Yes, I was getting bored and…" The idol stops talking to think. She feels remorse for her actions. "I'm sorry, I… all this pain I've been going through throughout the game turned me into this. I tried to control it, but it came out. And it felt so good once it came out. I did not want to stop. Guess I am like my father."
Lilith and JJ look at each other then at the dejected Sua. The gothic drummer approaches Sua and hugs the idol.
"I don't know what you went through in your life, but I know you are nothing like your father," Lilith told. "Because you're stopping to think about your actions. I bet he would have continued and worse, wouldn't he?"
"That's true," Sua muttered out.
"You're a good person Sua. But you need help. I wish would go back in time and never be a part of helping you into madness. But what's done is done. All I can say is thanks for being awesome. Look for a therapist when you can," Lilith said. She stops hugging the psycho.
Sua smiles again. "Thanks Lilith."
JJ approaches Sua and takes out a snow globe from her wig. She gives it to Sua as a gift.
It is night, and the seven remaining competitors arrive at the calamity ceremony. The girls are in the bottom row and the boys are in the top row of the two-level bleacher.
From left to right for the girls are Tamera, Lilith, Sua, and JJ. From right to left for the boys is Fenton, Caleb, and Buford.
Chris and Chef are standing next to two lamp posts illuminating them.
"Where are the popcorn bags?" Tamera asked the host.
"There will be no need for those," Chef answered.
"That's right because tonight I am disqualifying Sua from the game," Chris announced. "You brought the entertainment girl, but you crossed the line this challenge."
Sua sighs in sadness but understands. She stands up, her smile not leaving her face. "I expected this outcome. Maybe now I can take the opportunity to seek help."
"If it's any consolation prize, you're the first insane person in this show to realize the consequences of your actions," Chris told. "Take her to the lame-o-sine Chef."
Chef does as told then escorts Sua away.
"안녕히 계세요!" Sua waved to the remaining players before leaving.
Chris looks at the final six and regains his smile. You all are safe for another day. "If I were any of you, I would be relieved there was no voting tonight."
Confessional – Buford
"Honestly, I'm just glad that girl didn't try to murder anyone. Not going to miss her either."
Confessional – Tamera
"Final six, victory is so close. I can tell when I'm not having much spotlight, but I'm kind of okay with it for at least today. Really not much I can entertain when I'm with a squirrel unless I get into wacky hijinks." She smiles contently. "Besides, the further I'm in the game the better acknowledgment."
Confessional – Caleb
"I must thank Sua for ruining her run. Don't know if that platypus would have listened to me even with the fedora. Now I just need to defeat five more idiots to win."
Confessional – JJ
She blows out candles from a birthday cake. There are six candles on the cake which means she is celebrating for making it this far.
Confessional – Fenton
The short kid eats a slice of birthday cake. After swallowing a bite, he speaks. "What are my chances of making it to the finale. Probably low, but hey I made it this far. Might as well go through until the end."
Confessional – Lilith
"I hope Sua can get help. Sure, she's accident-prone but she has a good heart to perform. As someone who's in a band, I can get that. Though, it's going to take some to heal after George's passing."
End Confessionals
Chris is shown at the entrance to the carnival's roller coaster. He looks at a camera to end the episode. "Final six folks! Things are about to get more intense. Will Caleb and Buford continue to slither by another elimination? Can the others stay strong to keep their sights on the five million dollars? Find out next time on Total… Drama… Carnival Calamity!"
Inside the lame-o-scene, Sua has her hands cuffed behind her back.
"Is this necessary?" Sua asked Rosalina, the limo driver.
"Yes, for the safety of both of us," Rosalina stated while driving. She steps on the brakes since she was about to pass a red light.
This action causes Sua to fall out of her seat.
"Sorry, forgot to put on your seatbelt," Rosalina apologized.

Author's Note: There goes the pain magnet of the season, Choi Sua! What a fun character to write. Hope you all enjoyed her run in the competition. She did not get too much comeuppance besides getting sit on a bear at the end, but she is the pain magnet, so I think the other instances where she gets hurt are justifiable. Maybe I am wrong, who knows. I would read your thoughts on that in the reviews.
Only six players remain. Who do you think is leaving next?
