Total Drama Chaotic Camp
Episode 19- Hang in there, hang in there, till you drop.
Chris: In the last episode of Total Drama.
Chris: The final 10 got the news that they were officially merged, so it was every man for himself.
Chris: Of course no one respected that. And we had alliances, companionship, and kissing. Ugh.
Chris: The challenge of the scrap metal bike race took them around all 4 sides of the camp, some crashed, some were confronted by the visiting radioactive wildlife, and some made a fuss.
Chris: In the end, Shane thought he was doing the greater good by taking Keith down. But that only caused Jane to lose by being the last camper left to cross the finish line. Proving that the hero is neither as heroic, nor as much of a savior.
Chris: Which alliance will stay together the longest, and which will last the shortest? Let's find out now, in Drama. Total. Camp Chaos.
-INTRO-
We see a camera coming out of the middle of a tree, a set of lights coming out of a garbage can, a second camera coming out of a burrow pulling out a Mole, a last camera came out of the water in front of a beaver, who showed his middle finger out to the camera.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine,
You guys are on my mind.
The camera passes across the road, along an old bus, and through the forest to the camp, where Chris was with his cellphone and a coffee, while Chef was chasing a raccoon that was taking an apple.
You asked me what I wanted to be
and now I think the answer is plain to see,
The camera enters another section of the forest where Rose is seen feeding a squirrel, when the branch they are on breaks and falls to the ground, next to Melody who was sitting on a nearby log petting a rattlesnake, which was wagging its tail like a dog. The camera panned a bit showing Sarah doing her tricks on her skateboard, until she hits a jump that sends her flying, fortunately, Lacey caught her, the skateboarder hugged her while the biker rolled her eyes.
I wanna be famous…
I wanna live close to the sun,
The camera pans to a section of the river where Corey and Laney were arguing in a canoe, which fell over the waterfall.
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
The two passed behind a log where Lucas and Damian were having a fight, until the log broke causing them both to fall. The camera moves to the confessional where Shane was trying to open the door, until Lara, dressed as Raven from the "Teen Titans" scares him, making him go through the door.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
I'll get there one day.
Cause, I wanna be famous!...
The camera moves to the base of the mountain, where Nikki was writing something in her notebook, while watching Helen playing a song on her guitar. Then the camera moved to the side showing Bryan smiling awkwardly for a selfie with Alan, when out of nowhere, Elias scares the influencer, causing the photo to go wrong.
na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na...
The camera pans over the lake, where Anthony was observing his surroundings with a spotting scope, while Keith and Jane were trying to knock each other off platforms with sticks.
I wanna be,
I wanna be,
I wanna be famous,
The camera moves to the dock where Ethan was sharpening his sword, being watched by Valerie, until a bucket of water falls on her, showing that Paul had thrown it. Valerie jumped on him and they began to fight.
I wanna be,
I wanna be,
I wanna be famous...
The camera goes up to focus on the sun, and it changes to the moon, then down to the bonfire, where Carly was looking at Deán blushing, he notices and approaches her, but Olivia comes out in the middle of them both and raises a sign with a heart and the letters CD, making them both blush even more.
-Whistling in tune-
The camera zooms out showing the 24 Campers around the campfire, and the season sign is shown.
-end of the intro-
The camera focuses on the production truck during the night, the inmates were asleep in a makeshift camp next to it, and did not see how a shadow entered the truck. The hooded man was none other than Bryan, who approached the main computer.
Bryan: All right, let's put ourselves in the anchorman's eyes.
The actor began reviewing clips from the last episode, and particularly focused on two, Helen and Nikki's kisses, and Carly and Dean's. He then went into a separate folder, filled with separate recordings by camper. He pulled a tape recorder out of his pocket and plugged it into the computer.
Bryan: Time to set up some doom tunes.
The camera cut away from the truck and to the moon, until it changed to the sun and down into the forest, where Fang, the diving bear, Croc-topus and the sasquatchanakwa were playing cards... best not to ask how, or where they got them. The missing link left his cards on the table and took the fruits, to the frustration of the other 3. With the mutant shark eating his cards.
The camera panned to the winners' mansion, where the trio of Carly, Dean and Paul were enjoying a full breakfast.
Dean: Would you like some strawberries?
Carly: I'd love some.
The worker took one with a spoon and brought it to her, the millionaire turned the same shade as the fruit, but accepted the gesture.
Paul: Please. You two make me sick to my stomach.
Dean: Does it make you uncomfortable?
Paul: Nah. If Ethan were here, we'd probably be in a similar mood.
Carly: You miss him a lot don't you?
Paul: Yeah.
Dean: Don't worry man, I'm sure he's supporting you from home.
Paul: Yeah... hey, I was thinking, how about we form an alliance.
Carly: Really?
Paul: Yeah, really. We're so close to the finals, and we'd have to seriously consider teamwork, and if Dean trusts you, I trust you.
Carly thought about it for a moment, it's true that having an alliance now would be helpful, but she didn't have the greatest interest in winning, and then she remembered someone who did.
Carly: Okay. But I only have one condition. Lacey will also be part of the alliance.
Dean: I thought you two didn't get along.
Carly: we talked about it calmly, besides, and as self-centered as it sounds. I already have the money, you and Lacey deserve it more.
The two boys thought about it for a moment.
Paul: Okay, but you're in charge of inviting her.
Carly: Got it.
Dean: For the alliance.
Paul/Carly/Dean: To the alliance.
The 3 of them clinked their glasses.
-confessional-
Paul: It wasn't in my plans, but I guess having some extra muscle won't be a bad thing, especially if we want to get Keith out of the way.
Dean: Once Keith is out of the way, it will be a matter of one of us staying immune. That way, if it all goes wrong, at least we'll safely keep someone in the game.
Carly: with Dean and Paul on our side, that leaves the possible spoilers with very little chance, at best it will be a tie, and that's if the mystery man convinced the other 3 to vote with him... or her. It's still not clear to me who it could be between Helen and Bryan. But whatever, it's a much more even board.
-end of confessional-
Meanwhile, in the losers' cabin, Shane finally woke up, and put on his new clothes, which consisted of a gray t-shirt, black pants, gray sneakers, and then grabbed some glasses, but decided to leave them behind.
Shane: I don't even deserve the secret identity.
Keith: That's not even close to secret.
The black-haired man ignored him and sat back down on his bed.
Keith: Ignoring me won't erase your actions.
Shane growled and walked out of the room. I had neither the patience, nor the morals to respond to him at that moment.
Bryan: You don't think you're out of line.
Keith: No. That good-for-nothing got into business that wasn't his business, plus, for such a skinny guy, he's got tricks, which means he's a potential threat, so the quicker I got him out of here, the better.
Bryan: You are aware that the only way they will stay here, is to win the challenges. I'm sure most would prefer to keep Shane here.
Keith: that's possible, but that doesn't worry me, after all, I have two other people I can use, and those two people have a strong bond with two others, so I have 4 votes secured, plus yours and mine.
-confessional-
Bryan: Ha, thanks for all that additional information. Oh wait.
He pulls out a tape recorder.
Bryan: I already knew that. I have what it takes to fracture the assholes, as for Keith, that mastodon is no longer of any value to me. Shane on the other hand, oh, he'll still be very useful to me, I just have to focus his head on being a hero again. And he'll be my unsuspecting right hand man.
-end of confessional-
While on the girls' side, things were much more relaxed. Although that was because the musical girls were very focused on each other, leaving Lacey as an uncomfortable spectator.
Nikki: I can't tell you how happy I am that we worked everything out.
Helen: Me too. You're my perfect song, the kind I'd never forget the words to.
Nikki: "Love it's just a Word. But you bring it definition"
Helen: Eminem references. Where you been all my life.
The happy couple shared a kiss. Lacey decided to leave, and give them some privacy.
-confessional-
Lacey: Don't get me wrong. I'm happy for both of them... but there's only so much sweetness I can take in the morning. And those two exceeded it.
-end of confessional-
The Biker closed the door and started walking, until a voice caught her attention.
Carly: Pst. Lacey.
The blonde turned and found the millionaire tucked into a bush.
Lacey: Carly. There's no one here besides the two of us, no need for the hiding place.
Carly: You never know. But hey, I wanted to see if you were interested in an alliance.
Lacey: I thought we already had one.
Carly: I meant an extra one, with Paul and Dean.
Lacey: Hmm, that would be nice, but do you trust them?
Carly: Of course I trust them, Paul is nice once he leaves his cool side, and Dean is the most wonderful guy I've ever met.
Lacey: I see you've already gotten closer to him.
Carly whispered something in his ear, causing him to open his eyes wide.
Lacey: Lucky little cat. How long were you going to keep that to yourself?
Carly: Until we could talk again.
Lacey: I'm happy for you, but don't let it absorb all your attention.
Carly: none of that, I'll keep an eye on the spoiler, and once this is over, we could find you a date and go on a triple date with Paul and Ethan.
Lacey: Emmm. Let's leave the future for the future.
Carly: Heh. Lacey: I'm sorry. I get a little emotional when it comes to these things.
Lacey: Really? You can't tell.
Shane on the other hand was in the woods, doing pull-ups with a tree branch, to try to clear his head. It was of little use though, as he was still thinking about his actions, and especially, how these ended up causing the eliminations of Lucas and Jane.
Shane: And Keith is still here, all that and I just saved that bastard's ass from the ceremony. I wish there was a surefire way to eliminate him.
Bryan: Maybe there is.
The black-haired man let go of his fright.
Shane: Don't do that.
Bryan: I'm sorry, it's just that, like you, I can't stand Keith. He's been trying to get me to help him with votes for days now, and I don't agree with his actions at all. And I don't think the vast majority do either.
Shane: I don't know. The last time I tried to take him out of the game, I just took out the person he was trying to help.
Bryan: Because the conditions of the challenge played against you, we just have to outsmart Chris, and Keith will be one ceremony away from getting on the bus.
The black-haired man gave it some thought.
Chris(loud speaker): Good morning Campers, report to the mess hall for your special breakfast, believe me, it will be needed.
The 9 campers gathered at the location, where the presenter was waiting for them in front of a red curtain.
Chris: First of all. I want to congratulate you, after 2 long weeks, many obstacles, some scratches, romance and betrayals, you are the top 9, and you are getting closer and closer to being a million dollars richer. But, you still have to outdo each other.
Keith: Yes, if we understand that. We can move on to that "special breakfast."
Chris smiled and snapped his fingers, the curtain fell, revealing a table with a full banquet.
Chris: Enjoy it, because for some it might be the best meal you have until the end.
The 9 Campers set out to enjoy, until they were quite full.
-confessional-
Bryan: Normally I'm usually polite at the table, but a single day tasting the chef's food was able to whet an immense appetite. Almost as if his food was made to make us inhumanly crave something of our own.
Chef: Thank Chris, he made me put an experimental product in the losers' food.
Chris (from outside): And totally legal, so you can't sue me for possible side effects.
Chef: Wait. Wasn't it approved by the army medical service?
Chris(from outside): Yes. Or at least that's what it said on the sheet I submitted to production.
Chef: ...At this point I shouldn't be surprised.
-end of confessional-
About 20 minutes later, all 9 Campers were satisfied with their food.
Chris: Did you enjoy the food?
Keith: You bet your mansions they did.
Lacey: If I eat anything else, I'll explode.
Chris: I'm glad, because that means the challenge will be tougher for them now that they're fuller than Owen after eating that feast of prop food.
Carly: I should have known. It was too good to be true.
Chris: Some things never change, now, my stuffed contestants, if you could be so kind and direct your attention to this screen.
Stan and Helga walked in with a TV.
Chris: Your challenge today is an obstacle course that mixes tests from multiple ones we've seen in previous seasons.
Paul: Another one.
Chris: Yes. Another one, budget, cuts, blah, blah, blah. Don't get me sidetracked. Their first test is the ball dodger race, a mix of our season 1 challenge, with the season 4 cannons.
The camera shows a wooden hallway, with cannons on the sides, which fired the same balls that the Killer Bars and Screaming Moles used in that challenge.
Chris: Next, the Pahkitew Island Tubercular will follow, grease and all.
The camera shows the set of pipes with that restaurant grease.
Chris: To continue with his old friend, the knockout-splat wall, this time on the mud.
The same wall that was previously used in the Wipeout challenge was now over a mud puddle.
Chris: the fourth test will force you to overcome the bouncing balls.
Those spheres/fists that were used in both Island Revenge and All-Stars were once again making their presence known.
Chris: Followed by the kickoff, or in this case, pain kick.
The giant boot was on a platform by the lake.
Chris: Which in theory and if all goes well, will send them directly to the inclined platforms.
Those platforms in opposite directions from the Wipeout challenge were over the water again.
Chris: If they make it over them, they'll get to their transport to shore, the slippery zip line.
A zip line leading from a platform in the water up to a tree was shown.
Chris: Once you get your feet on the ground, you'll face the grueling climb.
A wall full of ropes was the next test.
Chris: And finally, they'll have to get a turn at my new favorite. The salad shaker.
That G-spinning device was ready to cause nausea again.
Dean: Damn, I think you've lost it.
Chris: Oh, and you don't even know the best part yet, this challenge can't be won by completing the course in less time, or coming in first.
Nikki: So how do you win this?
Chris: Very easy my dear rapper, the only way to win the challenge, is to outlast everyone else. In other words, you will have to run the whole circuit, again, and again, and again, and again, and again, until only one of you is left standing.
The final 9 groaned, that was insane, even without the food handicap and the fatigue they already had as it was.
Chris: I knew that would be their reaction, so, I'm going to be fair and offer a special reward.
Helen: Kick you where it hurts?
Chris: No. The camper who is the last one standing will not only get the night in the winning cabin with two companions. But he or she will get the one and only vote in tonight's ceremony.
Everyone was surprised.
Chris: That's right. The winner gets to choose which of the other campers will pack up their stuff tonight.
Keith: I like that prize.
Chris: I'm glad, because the challenge starts right now.
Chris blew his classic horn, the 9 tried to rejoin as best they could, and one by one they set off in the direction of the first test, although they were all moving slowly because of the food they had eaten earlier.
Chris: I give them an hour before we have a winner. Will it be less time? Find out, after the break.
-commercial break-
Keith, Lacey, Paul and Shane were the ones who took the biggest lead, and therefore, were the first to get to the ball dodger's court, with the roar of the cannons greeting them within seconds.
Shane: You can smell the gunpowder from here.
Keith: You want to quit already? Better, less work for me.
The athlete started to cross the course, Shane grunted and went after him.
Paul: He's letting it get into his head.
Lacey: And if that happens, he can write himself off. Okay, since no one's around, Carly told me about your alliance. I'm in, and I think we agree that Keith has to go, so either you or I have to win this.
Paul: What about Carly and Dean?
Lacey: Do you really think they'll outlast us?
The mechanic was going to answer, but I analyze it. While they both proved to be stronger than they looked, they were still slightly behind the Biker or himself. Not to mention, they would most likely be helping each other, so they would have a little less focus on the challenge.
Paul: Very good. You have to do your best to get through everything the first time, and with as little effort as possible.
Lacey: Well, may the best survive.
The two shook hands and started across the court, with the balls passing very close, as they moved toward the tubercular, the other Campers came up to the court, a ball was headed for Carly, but Dean knocked it to the ground so it wouldn't hit them.
Carly: Thank you.
Dean: For whatever you want.
Nikki and Helen let out an aww at the sight, while Bryan kept his snort to himself, before being impacted by a ball to the face. The musicians took advantage and passed the track, heading for the tubercular, where the others were already halfway through.
Keith: This is worse than a locker room after a championship game. Where the hell did they get this grease?
Chris: Donations from restaurants, including the chef.
The jock came out the other side, before being followed by Lacey, Paul, and Shane, only to be followed by Nikki and Helen sliding out.
Nikki: That was crazy.
Helen: Yeah... just a minute.
The rocker went into some bushes to throw up. Bryan was next out of the tunnel and started running towards the next test, and was greeted with a gauntlet to the stomach.
Bryan: How I hate this thing.
They all crossed the wall, and went to the bouncy balls, Shane was unlucky and ended up bouncing back and forth again, and again, until he fell into the mud below.
Shane: Is that all you've got?
The ball above him crushed him.
Chris: It never fails.
The ex-hero crawled to the ladder and began to climb back up to the platform, while the others were crossing the one with greater ease. To reach the platform of the pain kick.
Paul: I hate this parteeeeeeeeeeeeee.
The mechanic flew over the water to the next test, soon joined by Lacey and Bryan, as Keith continued to maintain a lead, which would only get bigger once he reached the zip line, and slid onto dry land.
Keith: Bite my useless dust.
Lacey: You're going to bite the bus seats.
Bryan smiled.
-confessional-
Bryan: Looks like Keith has everyone against him, better for me, that will give me a benefit going into my next move, I'll start the fire, and watch the cathedral get consumed in Hellfire... yeah, I like the Hunchback of Notre Dame.
-end of confessional-
Helen jumped from one of the inclined platforms, and caught Nikki coming right behind her.
Helen: I'll never let You fall.
Nikki (tired): I'll stand with You forever.
Helen: Are you sure you want to go on?
Nikki nodded, although it was more than evident the fatigue she was suffering.
Keith was climbing the wall, which was not only steep, but his "ropes" were another problem.
Keith: Gah. What the heck are they made of?
Chris: Old wire, irritating to the skin, I hope you have a tetanus shot.
Keith swallowed his anger, and finished climbing, to run down a wooden walkway, until he reached the platform in front of the salad mixer.
Keith: What now?
The platform shot up like a spring, sending the athlete into the apparatus.
Chris: That answers your question.
Keith: Eat my...
The machine started spinning at full speed. After about 10 seconds it dropped the athlete.
Chris: Are you giving up?
Keith: Yeah... you wish.
Keith started to crawl, while Lacey, Paul, Bryan and Shane all suffered from the platform trap at the same time. The mixer spun them around for the same amount of time as Keith, and dropped them.
Chris: On the menu today, heroic pity salad, mechanic's deodorant, motorcycle grease and whatever Bryan uses for his bad breath.
Bryan: It's called, having hygiene.
The 4 slowly rejoined and went to the start of the course again, Carly and Dean were next in the mixer, Carly didn't resist and went to regurgitate as soon as she was out, while Dean was recovering from the dizziness. The musics were the last to cross the course, and Nikki directly passed out as she hit the ground again.
Helen: Nikki. NIKKI.
Chris: Looks like we have the first knockout of the challenge. Helen, I'd run if I were you.
Helen: I'm not going to leave her here.
Chris: Chef will take her to the medical tent to rest, now go before he disqualifies you and puts your ass on the bus.
The rocker sighed, and went back to the race, but not before giving a kiss on the cheek to her unconscious partner.
Chris: One down, seven to go, let's see who's next.
It begins to show a cycle of the Campers crossing the challenges, over and over again, some with greater difficulty, Shane, Keith, Lacey and Paul were the furthest ahead, while the others were always at least one challenge behind.
On the third pass, Dean passed out on the zip line, and was pulled out of the water by Stan and Helga. To Carly's relief.
Helen followed soon after, attempting to climb the wall, as fatigue and irritation caused her to fall.
Carly was the next victim on the fourth pass, taking a hard right from the knockout-splat wall.
Chris: And that leaves 5, Keith, Paul, Lacey, Shane, and surprisingly, Bryan.
Bryan: shut up.
The 5 Campers were determined, each for their respective reasons, but after another 2 passes on the course, it was apparent how they were getting more and more tired. In fact, at the start of the 8th pass, Bryan ended up passed out in the tubercular, and they had to pull him out.
Keith: Come on...what's wrong...am I too fast...for you guys?
Shane: This... it's... not over yet.
The black-haired man fell to the ground and was passed by Paul and Lacey.
Shane: Who am I kidding? This is over.
Paul: I guess... it all comes down... to us.
Lacey: Yeah...hang on...it can't go on like this for long.
The last 3 still standing made it across the loop twice more, making it to the 10th pass. Paul and Lacey were climbing the wall, but the mechanic was on his last efforts and ended up passing out as soon as he climbed up.
Lacey: Shit.
The biker took a deep breath, it was the last chance they had, she had to beat Keith, who wasn't in the best shape either.
Keith: And in the end... there were two of them.
Lacey: You're not... going to win.
The two focused as much as possible, and crossed the entire circuit once more, until they reached the wall, which they both climbed extremely slowly. Until Keith couldn't take it anymore and let go.
Chris: AND LACEY IS THE WINNER OF THE CHALLENGE.
Dean and Carly, who had recovered, celebrated, as did Helen and Nikki, the others were still passed out on the stretchers.
Chris: Congratulations, tonight you get to choose who will join you in the winner's cabin and who will pack their bags next... Lacey?
The Biker had also passed out once she got to the top of the wall.
Chris: Oh well, she'll celebrate when she wakes up.
Later, Helen and Carly went to an area in the woods, where they met the actor.
Nikki: Bryan, are you the one who left us the note?
Bryan: Yes. I'm sorry for the mystery, but I had to make sure no one else came... You need to hear this.
The dark-haired man pulled out a tablet.
Bryan: This was dropped by the interns and... curiosity got the better of me. But I think they need to know before it's too late.
Carly: What are you talking about?
The actor hit the play button, and a recording of Dean in the woods came into view, though he never looked at the camera.
Dean (recording): Carly is an arrogant, spoiled brat, and once I get my hands on her, she'll be my pass out of misery, then it'll be a matter of taking it all and leaving her in her golden cradle, watching her world fall apart.
Carly was speechless at that, it was definitely the same boy, but she couldn't, nor did she want to believe what she had just heard, and just ran away.
Bryan: And Nikki...
The rapper's blood ran cold. If Carly had seen that recording of Dean, that could only imply something.
Nikki: No. Tell me she didn't say anything about me.
The actor grimaced and played another recording, this one of Helen in her room.
Helen: Oh Nikki, so innocent and loveless, you threw yourself into the arms of the first person who showed "romantic" interest in you. I just hope that when you see the truth, you see that you will be the same as you started out, alone.
The rapper almost fell backwards.
Bryan: Nikki...
Nikki: Let me go.
The actor took heed and walked away, once he got away from the rapper, he put on the biggest arrogant smile anyone could have.
-confessional-
Bryan: Step 1 ready, the two most sentimental links are broken, step number 2. Remove the ballast.
-end of confessional-
Lacey came out of the cabin to find Bryan looking around nervously.
Lacey: Bryan?
Bryan: Ah.
Lacey: Hey, take it easy.
Bryan: I'm sorry Lacey, I'm just tense about...
Lacey: About?
Bryan: No. I shouldn't tell you.
Lacey: Does it have to do with Keith?
Bryan: Yeah. He made me show some tapes to Nikki and Carly. With Dean and Helen talking bad about them.
Lacey: What?
Bryan: Yeah, Keith took them from the interns and forced me to show them to him. He told me that if I didn't, he'd make sure I'd be next on the bus, one way or another.
To confirm his story, Bryan lifted up his shirt, revealing a sizable bruise.
Lacey: He did this to you?
The actor nodded.
Lacey: Oh. That bastard's not going to get away with it. I think I know who's going with me tonight. But Helen and Dean... I don't believe those two would do something like that.
Bryan: I don't believe it either, that's why I wanted to recommend you something regarding the ceremony.
The actor whispered something in her ear.
The camera cut to the ceremony, Nikki and Carly had remained very distant from their partners, who didn't understand anything of what was happening.
Dean: Carly... it's all right.
Carly: ... Yes.
Helen: What's the matter Nikki? You're tighter than the strings of an orchestra violin.
Nikki didn't answer, and turned her head away, she didn't want to confront her, she still didn't know what to think. Carly did the same to avoid continuing the conversation.
Chris: Trouble in paradise? I like it. This ceremony is a special lake, since there is only one vote, there is only 1 marshmallow, which goes to our winner, Lacey.
The Biker caught her marshmallow.
Chris: Now, Lacey, you have the chance to choose the player who will be eliminated tonight, however, you must think about it very carefully, as there are no retries, it will be a final decision.
Lacey: You don't have to think about it, the person you chose to be eliminated is...

Bryan crossed his fingers "nervously"
Lacey: Keith.
Keith: What?
Chris: You heard the man.
Keith: Alright, you know what, do what you want, I'm over Jane anyway, and her pathetic little sister, not to mention how dark our "hero" turned out to be.
Shane was about to jump him, but was stopped by Paul.
Paul: Get out before he decides to let go.
Keith: Still, I don't understand why me. Are you afraid of the competition?
Lacey: That's what you get for being a lying cockroach and trying to ruin other people's relationships.
Keith: What the hell are you talking about?
Bryan finally spoke up.
Bryan: I'm talking about the recordings you made me show Nikki and Carly.
Helen/Dean: What?
Keith: Recordings? I don't know what they're talking about.
Bryan: Yes you do, the recordings that were on that tablet you took from the interns, and that you then forced me to show them under threat of beating me.
Bryan showed his "wound".
Keith: But, I never...
Bryan ("crying"): STOP TALKING, I only let you use me as a fucking puppet, nor as a punching bag.
Carly instinctively hugged him. Dean wanted to jump in too, but reserved himself to make room for his partner... or he hoped he was still his partner. Keith's eyes widened as he realized something.
Keith: You... YOU.
Shane: Leave him alone.
Keith: Don't be an idiot, I had nothing to do with it, I didn't hit him.
Lacey: Hard to believe you with your track record.
Keith prepared to respond again, but he knew it was useless, Bryan was very good at cheating.
Keith: Fine, but just know that the devil still walks among you worthless balls.
The athlete left resignedly for the bus. He had outmaneuvered Jane just as he wanted to, and ended up beaten by someone smarter than him.
Keith: You played well Bryan. But you're not going to save yourself the next time I see you.
Chris: Lacey, who will be the two people with you tonight?
Lacey: Nikki and Carly. I think they need a night away from the chaos.
Helen/Dean: What?
Chris: Alright, I guess the tension is still working.
The rocker and the worker wanted to claim, but the decision was final, Lacey and the other girls left on their way to the mansion.
Paul: Come on...surely they can get to the bottom of this tomorrow.
The two sighed resignedly and went with the others. Everyone was extremely tense about what had happened.
The camera showed a split image of Carly, Dean, Nikki, Helen, Shane, Paul and Lacey. The rapper and the millionaire had tears in their eyes, the worker, the rocker, the mechanic and the biker were worried, Shane was once again mired in his guilt, and the pressure of the previous moment didn't help things lighten up.
Finally the camera showed a smiling Bryan.
-confessional-
Bryan: Just a matter of making up a wound, and playing the battered puppy. Relationships are strained, and everyone focused on the cruel and ruthless Keith, not seeing that the real perpetrator was another victim.
The actor began to laugh maniacally. Worthy of Mark Hamill's Joker.
Chris: Oh man, where was this guy before? If I had met him, he would have been my professional relationship wrecker. Will the couples be able to recover from this blow? Will Bryan be able to keep slipping away? Find out in the next episode of Drama...Total...Camp Chaotic.

-Remaining Campers-
Bryan, Shane, Paul, Dean, Nikki, Carly, Lacey, Helen.
Lies are the most mortifying weapons, and Bryan used them to cause a stir without getting splashed. I'll talk a little more about his plan in the future.
The challenge itself wasn't the most relevant thing, so I gave it a bit of a bonus with the last camper standing stipulation, as well as the reward for choosing the one voted out.
I was really looking forward to getting to this part, because now is the closer we are to the final, the more tense things are, and now it will be a matter of who is the most cunning.
Keith was someone who didn't have much of a plot anymore, as with Jane and Lucas' chapter closed, his only reason for staying would be to annoy Shane. But Bryan saw him as a nuisance, and a physical threat, and got him out of the way "Whit a thousand líes, and a good disguise" (Go far kid, The offspring).
We're in the ante last stretch, with only 8 Campers, and 7 chapters, and things will be red hot.
But that will be in episode 21. Well, episode 20 will take us to the sequel studio, where one drama has already been resolved, but there is still a mystery, not to mention seeing the 4 new eliminated campers. How will Ethan and Melody react to seeing Valerie again? What will Lucas and Jane think of the Shane situation? How will things be now that Sky, Jane and Keith are going to be on the same set? And will the mysterious hooded woman still be around? Well, we'll find out in the next episode.
