Starting to write this now before the last episode goes up. I'm excited to do more of these episodes! Hope you like where this story goes from here.

It's Review responding time! (Done after the reviews come in obviously)

TurboTheRaichu: I'm really sorry for sending Richard home! When I saw that you liked him so much I felt really bad about his rank, but I needed everyone else for the plot. That's why I gave him the host position in the bonus clips. I hope you enjoy how the rest of the season goes though, and I hope you can find some more favourite characters.

Welcome-to-the-404 [Note, review for Chapter 1]: Thanks! Excited to see what you think of the new episodes!

Okay then! Let's begin this episode!

Chris stands at the dock, right near the fireworks of shame, before he stands and starts talking, "Last time on Total Drama Elemental Islands!"

Chris takes a few steps forward, pacing on the docks. "The 17 campers travelled to Water Island to complete the next challenge, traversing an underwater maze to search for a victory. The Electric Tigers lost the challenge and we saw an alliance form between Lauren and Susan. That led to them getting the votes from Morgan, Rory and Carol to save Morgan and send home Richard due to him not doing well enough in the challenges and not even trying in the social interactions. Honestly not gonna miss him," he shrugs at this.

"That's all you need to know," Chris states, smirking, "No stupid rival hosts were here at all. I digress though, who will be our third camper eliminated? And who will find the immunity idol?" With this he smiles at the people watching and says, "Oh yeah, that's here too,"

"Anyways, find out today on TOTAL! DRAMA! ELEMENTAL ISLANDS!" Each word is shown a slightly more panned view with the collection of islands before it fades into the intro.

Opening Guitar Riff:

The intro starts with the rock theme that is known so well to Total Drama fans, before a camera pops out from under some water, a microphone comes from the side towards some ground that hasn't been touched by raging fire around it. A light turns on from the side of a cave, illuminating it and a second camera pops from the bottom of a chunk of land floating, with a gopher holding on to it.

Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine,
The camera zooms past the dock speeding through the elimination area and the cabins before it goes towards one end of the island.

You guys are on my mind.
The camera goes past Chris arguing with Don before it zooms into the sky showing all five islands and zooms to Water Island.

You asked me what I wanted to be
On Water Island, Hannah and Tegan, both in Scuba gear, attack each other angrily. Meanwhile Jake and Nadia find a yellow rock before Nadia turns around and angrily yells at the two fighting above.

and now I think the answer is plain to see,
Inside a cave on Earth Island, Myron, Megan and Carol walk inside, with Carol holding up a comic book and excitedly commenting on it to a not interested Myron and Megan, who look at each other worried about the cave.

I wanna be famous.
Susan writes in a small notebook furiously while making a small smile before she looks at the camera and smiles and waves at the camera.

I wanna live close to the sun,
Inside the confessional, Lauren looks around excited before she looks at the camera and makes a determined smile to the camera.

Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
On Air Island, Bob punches a punching bag clean off what was being hanged, while Jemma watches and writes something on her notepad before a bear comes out of the bushes and prepares to attack them, which scares both of them.

Everything to prove, nothing in my way
Xavier is seen showing Gary a few costumes, first a cowboy costume where he's swinging his hat on his finger, then a 1930s mobster suit and making finger guns and finally a rapper costume where he pretends to rap. Gary isn't paying attention and instead makes a small smirk

I'll get there one day.
Fire Island appears with Richard standing there bored before he looks at the camera

Cause, I wanna be famous!
Morgan then runs over and pushes him over so he can appear in the camera lens. An angry Rory then runs over and helps up Richard, who just sighs and shrugs.

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
Back at the dock of Base camp, Alfred looks at the camera, a smug smile plastered on his face before he starts bossing around a couple of interns, including Katrina who was chatting with them before. Katrina and the interns get annoyed and push him into the water, the resulting splash of water covers the camera and the time changes to night.

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous (Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!)
[redacted] and [redacted] look at each other lovingly before they lean forwards, only for Chris to get up and blast his megaphone, making them jump back in surprise, [redacted] puts her hand on her heart in shock and [redacted] holds his head, as the camera zooms out to the rest of the campers whistling the closing notes of the song.

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

Gary is seen searching through a bush as the episode starts, an annoyed expression on his face.

Confessional

"That immunity Idol has to be somewhere," He states. "I just need to find where it is. And by using the process of elimination, I figured out it's either on the Air, Earth or Base camp Islands. Think about it, Chris wouldn't have put it in Water Island because it's too easily lost, and Fire Island's a no as well because it's on fire and the idol's probably still made out of wood. That's already about forty percent of the choices gone."

Confessional Ends

Bob sits in the bushes with Grover and a small plush dog before he spots the actor and quickly stuffs it into his backpack, pushes it forwards past a tree and pops his head out of the bush.

"Oh, how's it going Bob?" Gary asks, causing Bob to look with annoyance.

"You're free to look here, but I haven't found anything yet," He states, causing the actor to look at him and shrug before walking off.

Confessional

"I know he's hiding something, but I can't just let him know that I know," Gary shrugs before he smirks, "I WILL find out though."

Confessional Ends

Hannah steps out of the cabins, strutting down the steps before she is quickly followed by Tegan, who looks half awake. The former stops and breaths in the air, only for the latter to slam into her and knock both of them over.

"What the hell was that!?" Hannah yells,

"I was half-awake, dip, maybe you should have stepped out of the way," Tegan replies, still groggy.

Confessional

"Man, Hannah is getting on my LAST nerves." The complainer vents. "Can she get off my back for ONE moment?"

Confessional Ends

Seeing the breakfast, Megan walks over and pockets some bacon before she sits down to eat next to Jemma and Katrina. Katrina notices this out of the corner of her eye and narrows her eyes for a split second before going back to normal.

Over with the Tigers, the team is not talking with each other. Rory and Nadia have gone silent after what happened, mostly sticking to themselves, and Myron walks into the dining area with Chef's slop laid out in bowls. He walks over and sits down. With Myron sitting down, Carol quickly decides to ask, "So… Any of you read comics?"

"I do," Myron jumps in, noticing the silence. "The current run on the guardians is pretty good isn't it?"

"Yeah, it's awesome!"

Confessional

"I'm more of a person that joins in on conversations, not the one that starts them," Carol sighs, "But everyone's being awkwardly quiet since Morgan survived last elimination. I need to try something, ANYTHING to let the team rise from the loss of one of our own!"

Confessional Ends

Jake then walks in, feeling refreshed, causing Nadia to stand up and walk over and motions him to follow her. They both make it to a door before Nadia asks in a hushed whisper,

"So… Did you vote for yourself yesterday?" Jake nods, to which Nadia facepalms, "Great, just PEACHY," she says, spinning around and calling out before she looks back at Jake and says, "Come ON dude, WHY would you vote yourself off!?"

"I heard from Lauren that Rory and Susan were talking about how I was a weak leader," he admits.

"Should have seen that coming," Nadia admits, "Why didn't you tell us, we could have sent the votes after Susan."

"Because yesterday, I agreed with them," he admits, "I didn't come up with the strategy that gave us the win in the first episode and my plan made the team weaker yesterday, so I just decided to put myself out of my misery. As you can see, that didn't end up happening."

"Guess we'll have to target them soon, just in case they try to form a group." Nadia says, patting Jake on the shoulder.

"Can I… talk to you about something after the challenge?" Jake states to Nadia while she's about to spin around.

"Yeah, sure." she shrugs as she walks off.

Meanwhile, isolated from the rest of the team, Morgan sits while terrified,

"Oh crap," he says under his breath, as he sees Lauren walk in,

Confessional

"I heard Susan's confessional last night, and I heard something about her planning to betray Lauren… I can tell Lauren, but I can hold this over Susan's head. If I do blackmail Susan then I'll be risking the vote from Lauren if she finds out."

He then thinks, "If I play my immaculately perfect cards right, I'll have just jumped from the least powerful member of the team to most. And my victory can go all to plan." He then flashes a smile at the camera. "Guess thinking in here gave me the perfect strategy haha."

Confessional Ends

"What's up, Morgan?" Lauren asks, a concerned face showing, "You haven't left here since just after the last elimination.

"Nothing much," The perfect guy lies through his teeth. "I'm just annoyed I got votes."

"I get it, I really do," Lauren starts, exasperated. "But if you want me to be able to keep you in then you need to actually make an effort to be liked by them."

"I did," Morgan admits, "I talked to Rory and Susan yesterday,"

"And they were two of the people who voted for Richard, you can try that with the others, they're not completely focused on one thing." In hearing this, Morgan sighs.

"Alright, I'm gonna talk to them," He says while rolling his eyes and standing up. Lauren's eyes start to dart for a moment before she quickly grabs Morgan's shoulder and says,

"Uh… Actions speak louder than words, show them you're trying to improve in the challenge."

"Fine… I'm still going to have breakfast though," he quickly states, walking out.

Confessional

"He's an easy vote, but GEEZ is he obnoxious to deal with." Lauren then rubs her temple in annoyance before she continues. "Hmm, maybe I'll have to get rid of him earlier than I thought…"

Confessional Ends

Morgan steps out of his room and walks towards the team, and all eyes focus on him with his arrival. Lauren walks back to her seat quickly before people can notice her, but Morgan simply walks over with a sneer and not a single word is uttered before he grabs his breakfast and begins eating.

After Morgan finishes eating his breakfast, Chris alerts everyone over the loudspeaker before saying, "Campers! Come on over to Air Island for the bear-y exciting challenge," in which he chuckles. The campers look on in annoyance at this, except for one, Myron, whose face seems to have drained of all colour as he sits frozen with a fork halfway to his mouth with some gruel on it.

Confessional

"B-b-b-b-b-bears?" The Ungifted Nerd asks in a shaky voice. "I'm n-n-n-n-not scared of a bear or anything…" He then facepalms, "Oh who am I kidding, YEAH I AM!"

Next Confessional:

"I've been told about the 'bear incident' as Myron likes to put it," Megan admits, putting in air quotes. "I can see why he's terrified of them, even if I'm not myself."

Confessional Ends

Myron steps outside the victory cabin last with small, shaky steps before Megan walks over and says, "It's all right… You can do it!" and pats his shoulder.

"I saved you a bit of breakfast," she adds as she grabs the bacon and hands it to him to eat.

"B-b-b-b-b-b-bears…" he says before he eats the bacon, and Megan leads him towards the edge of the island.

Once the 16 campers arrive at the corner of Air Island, Chef stands there, holding a cue card, and reads out, "To visit the Air Island, a contestant must travel through this tube." He then rolls his eyes and throws the cue cards on the ground, instead deciding to just walk into the tube and be sent upwards. This causes everyone to nod in understanding before they follow Chef up.

As the last two, Myron and Megan, arrive at the top, Chris stands at the entrance to a large forest with a nostalgic smile on his face.

"We designed Air Island right here to look similar to the classic Camp Wawanakwa our campers have come to know and love so much!" Katrina looks around with a face of utter disgust and contempt.

"Ugh, Camp Wawanakwa…" she spits.

Confessional

"Bad… Memories," Katrina states. "Very… Bad… Memories."

Confessional Ends

"Today's challenge is sort of a flashback to the simplicity of the first season's challenges… No elements will be used today, you'll have to wait for the next Air Island challenge to find out the Island's twist!" The campers actually start cheering at this.

Confessional:

"Probably related to going up in the air." Susan states. "And I hate heights almost as much as needles, they're definitely the two worst things for me." She then realises what she said before she facepalms. "And Chris is going to watch this back… I think I just gave him inspiration for a challenge,"

Next Confessional:

"Oh, Susan… You have no idea what's coming up," Chris smirks, evilly. "And neither do the people watching at home. Not today, but soon…"

Confessional Ends:

"Today, you will simply be catching a bear!"

"That's it?" Nadia questions, to which Chris snickers,

"Suuuuuuure," the host replies, then he quickly says, "If you don't count the fact that we used some of the tech from Pahkitew to make an even more ferocious scuba bear… THAT is what you're capturing," The campers look worried before Xavier quickly says,

"Hey Chris, didn't you say you couldn't kill us back when Alfred went home?"

"Yeah, and the producers very nearly didn't accept this challenge, but we gave it a kill switch and they said yeah. We salvaged the 3.0 Model of Scuba Bear and took away the jetpack, though that WOULD have made sense considering the island… Ah well… We can add it back after you guys capture it. The first team to bring it back, barring anybody being eaten, will win immunity for their team. And loserville with be having an extra person staying there after tonight,"

Right after Chris finishes explaining, Myron falls into a Fetal position and starts rocking, causing Megan to look exasperated at Chris and then turn to the teams,

"Sorry guys," Megan says, "But I need to stay with Myron, I'll help out when I can." Katrina narrows her eyes for a split second before she walks off without a word, followed by the rest of the team, who flash Megan either neutral or sympathetic smiles.

Chris stands in front of the campers and says, "Before you go, you each need to grab something to help capture the bear. Lucky for you, we have a shed filled with useful items to capture an animal." As this is said, a helicopter flies overhead with a shed connected to a crane before it's dropped and the ground is full of splintered wood.

"Well," Chris begins. "We DID have a shed. Look through the wood, you should be able to find things to help catch it. I guess the Lions get a 30-second head start looking since they won the last challenge, though the Tigers can still run off and look early. Anyways… Let's begin the challenge!"

The campers prepare to run as Chris starts counting down, "THREE! TWO! ONE! GOOOOOOOOO!"

Nadia quickly runs away from everyone and into the forest, followed by Jake, as the eight campers in the Lions arrive at the pile and start sorting through. Xavier, Katrina and Jemma all manage to each pull out a tranquiliser gun, causing varying smiles from each of them as the three of them run into the forest. However, Katrina, after grabbing a duffel bag filled with a few pellets of extra ammo, decides to hide behind a tree,

Confessional

"I have a bad feeling about Megan," Katrina shrugs, "She's not even doing the challenge and she's helping someone on the OTHER TEAM!" She then sighs. "Look, I get they're besties and all that, but isn't that exactly the reason I SHOULD be worried? Katie and Sadie were annoying and on the same team and the team focused on sending them home as soon as they screwed up a challenge. Amy and Samey or Sammy or whatever she was called hated each other and Duncan was desperate to send Mike home after he remembered Mal. These two? They're fine with each other and on opposite teams. I need to be CERTAIN that they aren't forming a secret, cross-team alliance or something."

Confessional Ends

Bob grabs a large gun he recognizes as Chef's Meatball Bazooka from All Stars and says, "Wait, isn't this-"

"Not quite," Chris states. "We filled these bad boys with nets to help capture the bear. They only have a few shots though, so make them count."

The giant starts chuckling, "I'll take it anyways," and he jogs off. Hannah grabs a regular net and shrugs, running off, quickly followed by Gary, also holding one, as well as a rope. Megan walks Myron along the end of the forest to calm him down. Finally, Tegan grabs a rope with a smile on her face,

"Sweet," she says, "I can use this," then she runs off, causing Chris to say,

"Alright you five, grab your weapons." The group begins to run in.. Morgan and Rory both draw out separate net bazookas and Susan grabs two tranquilisers out and hands one to Carol.

"Na, I won't need this," Carol says, handing it back to her friend while pulling out the rope on her belt.

Susan simply says "You will," while continuing to hold onto both guns as Lauren grabs a net and puts it over her shoulder.

"Okay guys," Lauren states, "We should probably go into groups. A group of two and a group of three probably."

"I'll go with Susan," Morgan says, looking at her with a smirk, to which Rory then adds,

"I'll go with you guys too then," He shrugs, causing Morgan to look annoyed,

"Fine, I'll go with Lauren then," As Morgan states this, he walks over and pulls Lauren away, causing her to be surprised at the sudden movement, but accepts it.

Confessional

"I wonder why Morgan was going to go with me." Susan questions, "Eh, probably trying to make himself likeable to me again or something."

Confessional Ends

"Well alright, guess the three of us are teaming," Susan states, shrugging off Morgan's request.

"Awesome," Rory states. Making a clap of his hands, Carol also looks up with a smile on her face.

"Alright!" Susan says as the trio dashes off.

Nadia and Jake walk along tentatively.

"We should have just waited," Jake admits,

"Yeah…" Nadia sighs in response, "It was only thirty seconds really." She then groans in annoyance. "Maybe we can sneak up on it?"

"Well we can give it a go, I guess. "Jake mentions. "We just have to play sneaky and all that and then overwhelm it with sticks or something."

As he says this however, he promptly steps on a stick, which causes both of them to get surprised.

A couple seconds pass before the foliage shakes and the bear runs in, which causes the duo to clutch each other in fear, screaming before they separate and run in the same direction. They look behind to see the bear chasing them and yell in surprise. Jake quickly looks over and says, "Quick, up the tree!"

Both of them scramble and breathe a sigh of relief, relaxing, while Nadia says, "That was close," however, the bear goes on its back feet and starts climbing the tree, causing Nadia to let out a gasp, before she facepalms.

"Duh," she fearfully says as the duo start to go from tree to tree. The bear reaches the top and swipes at the duo, however, the branch the bear is on breaks causing it to fall back to the ground. Suddenly, a fan comes out of the tree and pushes Nadia and Jake off the tree. Another one then comes by and pushes the bear away.

"Okay…" Jake sighs with relief, "I need to thank Chris for lying to us about there being no elements involved.

Confessional

"Yeah, I lied." Chris chuckles. "Come on now, this is Total Drama ELEMENTAL Islands. We HAVE to use the elements at some point."

Confessional Ends

Hannah travels along, holding her net before she hears rustling in the bushes. With a smirk on her face, she throws her net at the figure, who yells out,

"What the hell is your issu-"

The figure reveals herself to be Tegan and notices Hannah straight away. "Oh, that answers my question I guess. I've gotta say though. Sabotaging the team is NOT a good look on you."

"Ah, shut up." Hannah replies, taking the net off her enemy. "You're just lucky we're on the same team." Tegan rolls her eyes before Hannah continues with. "I can throw the net on you again if you want,"

Confessional

"I… am going to HATE doing this…" Tegan sighs.

Confessional Ends

"Screw you," the Complainer starts., "But it would be better to have groups go after that stupid bear. Can we-" She then gags before continuing. "Should we truce for just the challenge?"

"PFFFFFFT AHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA," The hipster laughs. She wipes a tear from her eye before she blinks a couple times, "Wait, you're serious?"

"Ugh, like, yeah I am, keep the answer quick though."

"Hell nah," Hannah says as she walks off. Suddenly, the ground flips around behind them, revealing a large fan, which sends them both flying through the air, making them land and eat dirt. Hannah stands up and rubs some dirt off her, after a couple seconds Tegan starts getting back up.

"Fine. I guess I could use an extra body, but if we find another group then we separate and join them." Hannah says.

"Fine with me!" Tegan quickly states as the duo begrudgingly walks off.

Confessional

"This is ONLY because Chris lied to us about not using the air here. Stupid show… But I could use the extra meat shield."

Next Confessional:

"Alright, so I guess I'm teaming with her," Tegan states, annoyed. "Look, I know that it was my idea and we need teams, but could I have found ANYONE but her?"

Confessional Ends

"We don't speak unless we have to, though," Hannah states matter-of-factly, "Or at least, YOU don't talk."

"If you don't do anything stupid, I won't comment on it, so you'll probably hear more from me." The Complainer smirks, causing Hannah to roll her eyes.

"Alright, let's just go then." Hannah states, exasperated as the duo runs off.

Lauren and Morgan run along before the fangirl turns and says, "So… why did you want to go with Susan?"

"Well you said it yourself, I'm in a bad position right now. If I'm friends with her then I'm in a good spot. Since we were grouping up I was showing her that actions spoke louder than words."

"Alright, well why did you just want to do the challenge with only her then?"

"No real reason." Morgan says, sweat starting to form.

"Okay then…" Lauren says, matter of factly.

Confessional

"Okay, Morgan needs to go. He's probably working with Susan or something. Maybe Myron can be my lapdog. That'll give me Megan in the merge for a little bit."

Next Confessional:

"That was close," Morgan says, sighing in relief. "Still have Lauren, and soon enough, Susan and her crew will be with me. Then I have the votes that kept me in the last episode PERMANENTLY!" He sits back with a self-assured smirk, chuckling to himself.

Confessional Ends

After a rustle is heard in the bushes, Morgan quickly fires his net bazooka to catch whatever is in there. A scream of surprise being heard as the net hits.

"WHAT THE ACTUAL FU-" A person yells before it's revealed to be Jemma. Her tranquiliser gun being dropped. Lauren grabs it and shrugs.

"Yeah, I'm just gonna take this." she says.

"B-but you have one already." Jemma says.

"Yeah. But a few members of the team ran off before they could grab anything, so I may as well give it to them. Good luck, Jem."

"Ah… Can you at least like, tie me to a tree or something?"

"Na," Morgan says. "Let's not do that." As Morgan and Lauren walk off, the journalist hears,

"Wow, that was actually pretty smart, good job." Lauren speaks this, followed by Morgan saying,

"Uh, yeah… That was totally intended." Jemma groans from inside the net at the position she is now in.

Lauren and Morgan walk around and find Nadia and Jake walking around without any weapons.

"Hey," Lauren states, "Want a free tool to capture the bear?" Nadia accepts, extremely quickly. Lauren complies by throwing the gun at Nadia, who catches it and says,

"Where'd you get this from anyways?"

"Let's just say we won't have to worry about Jemma in the challenge for a bit." She points at Morgan's net bazooka.

"Hm, alright then." Nadia shrugs. "At least it was only a net."

"All thanks to yours truly," Morgan says quickly.

"Uh-huh, good going dude," Nadia says, still not overly impressed by how Morgan has been acting.

"S-so yeah, I did that," The perfect guy tries to keep up the conversation going, but Jake quickly shushes everyone.

"We'll meet up here later if neither duo has found the bear, that alright with everyone?" Jake asks.

"Eh, sure," Nadia shrugs, Lauren and Morgan also agreeing without any extra provocation.

"Good, let's grab that bear then!" Jake yells, causing everyone to run off determined. Jake and Nadia go one way, and Morgan and Lauren down the other.

Myron steps into the forest, with Megan looking sympathetic. "Come on, you can do it! You don't have to worry about it! You don't have to worry about the bear!"

"It'll come across us, and then it'll be another bear incident! I just know it,"

"Myron, come on, what are the chances the exact same situation in the bear incident will happen again?"

"Pretty likely with me since I started on this Island!" The nerd replies.

Confessional

"Myron's an awesome guy, and I get his issue with bears after the bear incident, but we both need to do the challenge, so I need to convince him to actually do the challenge. I'm sorry if that makes me sound like a bad friend or something, I'll still compete with him. We'll just be, y'know, competing." She sighs, "Man if I knew Myron was competing I would have probably brought my Didgeridoo or Harp in case this stuff happened, I know Total Drama always has bears."

Confessional Ends

"Please Myron, try to do the challenge at least," Megan sighs, to which Myron frowns, but still says

"Alright, fine, I'll go in."

"Awesome," Megan smiles before Myron slowly walks in with his eyes closed, and opens them and says, "No bear… Alright…"

"Let's go ahead a bit then." Megan says, causing Myron to sigh and nod in acceptance. Megan stands next to him the rest of the way off-screen.

Meanwhile… Katrina pops her head from behind the tree. A smirking glare forming.

Confessional

"Well, Megan's trying to help Myron in the challenge. That's good enough for me, but I need to actually prove this to everyone, so I guess I have to find a bit of proof that what I now know is true. Or at least find a way to get a majority of either mine or the other team on board with voting one of the besties."

Confessional Ends

With Carol, Rory and Susan, they travel ahead. The superhero holding her lasso while in a pose prepared to use it.

"Well," Rory starts, "We've been stuck at this for a bit and haven't seen anything, how 'bout you girls?"

"Nope," Carol starts, "But I'm ready to catch it if it sneaks up on us like some villain monster henchman."

"Is that all you talk about?" Susan says to Carol, who simply shrugs in response.

Confessional

"So…" Susan starts, "Carol and Rory. They're going to be the two I try to manipulate across the game. Carol is a big physical threat and Rory's both a physical AND social threat. Having both will probably be the easiest time I could have. At least in the pre-merge."

Confessional Ends

The trio suddenly hears a rustle in the bushes. Rory walks up closer to the bush and states, "It might not be a bear, and we can't just use up our stuff on other campers unless we know we have the bear."

Rory's question is quickly answered as the bear rises out of the bushes to Rory, who only has enough time to look up with a shocked expression and raises his net bazooka up before the bear swipes at him, sending him flying against a tree.

"Touchdooooooooown," The jock says, dazed before he falls unconscious and on his face. Rory's net bazooka hits the tree at a fast pace and malfunctions, shooting one of the three nets, which catches Carol, who is entangled and struggling to get out. The bear leers down at Susan, who quickly duel wields the two tranquiliser guns. The first gum jams and the other one is knocked out of Susan's hand when she is knocked to the ground by the bear.

Susan looks around and grabs a sharp stick from off the ground, stabbing the bear in the gut. The part stabbed starts sparking, but the bear still leans in more before the Robo Bear is sent stumbling away from Susan by a punch. Bob stands to the left of Susan with a fist outstretched, before he goes back to a normal position and looks at the situation with the campers.

The robot bear, possibly realising that four people might be a bit of a bad situation for it, runs off on all fours. This leaves Bob to see the trio worse for wear.

"How is he?" Bob asks, pointing to Rory, causing Susan to quickly stumble over and check his pulse.

"He is definitely still alive, he's just unconscious."

"Good," Bob comments, "I'm off to get that bear, you guys should probably rest." The giant then looks at Carol inside the net and chuckles, before he jokingly says, "Oh yeah, and Carol? Nice going there."

"Shaddap," Carol says, annoyed as Bob quickly grabs his net bazooka from behind a tree and runs off.

Susan looks out to where the bear ran off and then to her team members before she stands up determined,

Confessional

"That bear isn't hurting them while they're votes. Plus, if I catch the bear, that'll net me some popularity points. Ha, get it? Net me? Okay, I'll stop."

Confessional Ends

"Here, Carol," Susan says, throwing her stick and one of the guns to her. "Help Rory when he wakes up, I'll go after the bear!"

"O-Ok," Carol says, still somewhat shaken by the situation that happened. With that, Susan rushes ahead, chasing after the bear before Carol starts to cut herself out of the net.

Gary and Xavier finish building a classic net trap before they get into position.

"Bro, are you sure this is going to work?" Xavier asks. "Like, this is REALLY easy to fail on." as he says this he grabs the rope and prepares himself to pull. Gary lays on the top of the tree branch the second furthest of the right side, steadying so he doesn't fall and hurt himself,

"It's worth a try." The actor talks with his buddy, before he thinks for a second and says, "It's like with acting- if you can make your character, or trap in this case, simple but well performed, people will look past the simplicity."

"Well alright then," Xavier states, shrugging, "I guess," he finishes under his breath. Suddenly, the bear runs past, quickly followed by Bob, which startles the two boys and causes them to activate their trap late. Xavier tries shooting a shot from his tranquiliser at the bear, but he completely misses, hitting a squirrel in a tree and knocks it out in the process.

Xavier is pushed past by Susan, who says, "Coming through!" Gary drops from his position while Xavier quickly recovers. As both of them go off to chase after Susan and the bear. The ground in front of them flips around to reveal the fan which activates and sends them flying down a couple hills before they land in a pile.

"Woah, hey guys," the voice states. "You alright?" The voice is answered by Xavier standing up and dusting himself off. "Hey guys, up here," The method actor looks up and sees Jemma, still tangled in the net she was forced into earlier. "I could use just a LITTLE bit of help up here." Gary has also gotten up by this point and he groans before Xavier grabs a stick to help get Jemma out once she is dropped.

"We almost had that freaking bear too!" Gary yells in annoyance, still climbing the tree to help his team member.

Carol, who has untrapped herself out of the net by using the stick, now holds the tranquiliser gun given to her by Susan. She stands worried above Rory, who is finally waking up from the attack he received earlier.

"Ow…" The Jock complains, "That… really hurt." He then looks around and quickly says, "WHERE'S SUSAN?!"

"S-she went off after the bear." This causes Rory to quickly get up and grab his net bazooka.

Confessional

"Susan is a good friend, and she looks, well, kind of pretty if I'm being honest. I wouldn't want anything bad to happen to her by taking a bear on BY HERSELF! That's just asking for trouble."

Rory says, "Alright, let's go help Susan!"

"Yeah!" Carol calls out, relieved that Rory's alright. "Susan went this way!"

"OK!" Rory yells, determined as the now duo runs off in the direction Carol pointed to, quickly followed by Carol.

Katrina steps out from behind her tree. "Probably should actually do the challenge now, I guess. Haha, yikes." She ends with an awkward tone. Not hearing anything, she steps around quietly and grabs her bag alongside the gun.

"Okay, I need to shoot at least a little bit I guess." She looks around fearfully, hearing every small noise. As she hears something rustling in the tree, Katrina shoots a flurry of shots, knocking down a few birds and a squirrel.

"Oh…" Katrina chuckles, "Uh, yeah…" She quickly grabs another group of pellets from her duffel bag and jogs off.

Myron and Megan then choose at that point to walk in, Myron still looking worried and noticing all the birds and squirrels. He looks around with a pitying face and goes to help the birds, putting them upright at least.

"Tranquiliser darts," Myron says, an annoyed tone in his voice before he turns to Megan.

Confessional

"Mom works in Animal Rescue. I've picked up a couple things from her," Myron admits, "She's sort of given me advice on at least letting animals not be hurt. Nobody wants to see an animal in pain."

Jake and Nadia come back across Morgan and Lauren, with the latter shrugging, causing both groups to start talking.

"So I'm guessing no to you guys finding the bear?" Nadia asks, to which Lauren says,

"Yeah, same with you?"

"Yep," Jake jumps in, "Hopefully Carol, Rory and Susan are having more luck here."

The shot then cuts to show Susan, panting with her hands on her knees. She's tired, however this doesn't last long as she is quickly overtaken by Bob, who in a friendlier tone simply says, "Good luck at elimination."

"Oh no you don't," Susan says, annoyed before she gains a burst of energy and runs after Bob. Bob looks at Susan and chuckles at the gap he is widening between them before he runs into a low hanging branch, which makes him close his eyes in pain for just long enough to misstep and roll down a hill.

"Y-yep… I deserved that," the Giant groans before he starts to pick himself back up, still running alongside the bottom. However, once he tries to climb back up the hill, he realises how steep it is. "Okay, guess I'm finding another way up. She better not get that bear," he says to himself.

Susan manages to run into a heavily wooded area, so dark that she can't properly see the sky above her.

"Come on, I've been running for several minutes straight, and that bear has an injury, how have I not found it yet?" As if on cue, the genius hears a growl in the bushes, and aims her tranquiliser gun, shooting a couple shots at her target, and barely misses. Susan takes a couple steps back in worry while also keeping her gun outstretched.

"Bad idea, bad idea!" She says as the bear gets up with sparks flying out of it and walking towards her. This is compounded by a fan coming from the ground and sending her flying into a tree.

"AGH!" She grunts as she drops her gun and it goes out of her reach. She looks up and sees the bear start walking on all fours towards her. Due to the pain from being launched into a tree, she grunts in pain as she goes to lean forwards before leaning back and looking around worried.

Jake, Lauren, Morgan and Nadia hear the roaring that Susan witnessed as Jake quickly says,

"Okay, THIS WAY!" He points in the direction of the noise, causing the four to quickly dash there. However, they are a fair distance away and need time to get there.

While this happens, Rory and Carol venture through the forest, with both of them calling out for Susan before they hear the growl and walk closer towards it, though they aren't sure if they'll find the bear with or without Susan.

The bear sparks as it approaches Susan, speeding up. She becomes momentarily stunned by the impact of the tree and is unable to move out of the way. "Uhhhhhh." She says, her face going pale, "HEEEEEELLLLLLLLLP!" This startles the bear and causes it to start running towards her as she closes her eyes in fear.

Rory and Carol run through the forest and Rory yells, "Hey, Susan, where are you?" Suddenly, they hear her cries for help right near them and run over, seeing the situation and acting fast.

Susan opens her eyes, confused about not being eaten yet, but the only thing she sees is the bear's mouth muzzled by a rope before Susan is quickly pulled away from the bear and into a net by a bazooka.

"I've got it!" a voice calls out before Susan opens her eyes. From inside the net, The voice Susan hears is Carol, and she's holding the bear's mouth closed with her rope. Looking upwards, she sees Rory pulling her away by the net with a determined look on his face.

"Don't worry, you'll be alright," the jock adds. causing Susan to look with relief on her face before he puts her up against the tree and goes back out to help Carol. Seeing how things are going, the bear flees, Carol's rope still stuck around his muzzle, pulling Carol along until her head hits a tree and the Superhero nerd lets go.

"Don't worry Mister Cage, I'll be your nanny for ya," Carol says while dazed before she falls unconscious.

The bear manages to escape before Rory can help out, but he quickly turns back around to help Susan, grabbing a sharp stick to cut her out of the net. Both then turn their attention to Carol, who is still knocked out on the ground.

"Carol!" Susan calls out, "Can you hear me?" as she taps the side of her face softly, trying to wake her up before Rory quickly grabs the water bottle on her belt.

"That'll wake her up!", he comments before he quickly sprays some of the water in Carol's face, making her jolt up in surprise.

"I'm up Mister President!" Carol quickly yells before she notices Susan and Rory staring down at her, concerned. "I'm all good!"

As this is happening, Tegan and Hannah walk with each other, the former saying, "Ugh, can we actually just team up for a challenge without you turning this into a fight,"

"I'm brutally honest, you're just fake," Hannah says, "At least I admit I'm a jerk,"

"You… You absolute-" Tegan cuts herself off before she rolls her eyes and says, "Let's do the freaking challenge and then we can have this fight."

"Don't talk to me then, you normie POS." Hannah laughs,

"Wait a sec, I have a decent-sized Twitter following, I've seen Normie used before, doesn't that make it a normie word?" Tegan says before she laughs and starts to walk off,

The camera flashes to Hannah, whose face is darkening with metaphorical lightning and thunder striking and booming behind her for dramatic effect. With a furious face, Hannah leaps on Tegan, screaming in anger.

Confessional

"She can mock me all she wants. She can even play the victim card. BUT SHE DOES NOT GET TO CLAIM I'M THE BLEEPING NORMIE HERE!"

Confessional Ends

"WHEN I'M DONE WITH YOU PICASSO'S GONNA BE THE ONE THAT GIVES YOU A SELF PORTRAIT! AND HE'S DEAD!" Hannah yells.

"WELL YOU'RE UH, GONNA BE WORKING AT ONE OF THOSE CARNIVAL FREAKSHOWS!" Tegan fires back, attempting to trade blows. Megan and Myron walk by, with Myron actually looking up with a surprised expression replacing his fear.

"Geez, are they that loud all the time?" Myron asks, to which Megan replies,

"Yep," an annoyed expression on her face. "This way?" she says, with Myron nodding in agreement.

Carol, Rory and Susan stand by, with the latter still having her hand on her heart, letting it calm down.

"Thank you for saving me guys!" Susan says.

"Of course! That's what a hero does." The Superhero Nerd notices the lack of her rope and looks with a glum expression for a moment before she goes back to normal.

Rory then adds, "I'll always help a friend in need!"

Confessional

"Carol and Rory just saved my life!" Susan says, genuine surprise in her voice. "And… and I'm going to be spending the game manipulating them…" She looks downwards, conflicted. "Man, this is a major bummer…"

Confessional Ends

Susan gives Rory and Carol each a small hug in response before she pulls out her net bazooka, determined and says, "Let's catch that bear… as a group this time."

"Hell yeah!" Carol calls out, clapping her hands together.

"Alright!" Rory adds on, as the three of them go ahead.

Myron and Megan walk along, the former shaking in fear.

"It'll be alright," Megan says as she tries to calm down her friend. "It'll probably be caught by someone in either team."

"But, what if it comes along and… It happens again?" Myron hyperventilates to the band girl.

"Then there's more than one of us this time," Megan quickly continues, "It'll be FINE."

"M-maybe," Myron says. Then suddenly, the bear runs in with the rope still around its mouth. Myron screams in fear for a moment before he stops at the bear and sees Carol's rope. "Wait… Poor thing." He takes a slow step towards it, much to Megan's worrisome look.

"Should you go that close to a bear?" she asks.

"I may hate doing it, but a rope around the mouth is a rope around the mouth." Myron says. Determined, he steps over and quickly unties the rope, taking a step back as he says to Megan, "See, rope around the mouth is one of the worst things that can be done to an animal without physically hurting them. They'll easily starve, and it's uncomfortable for them." Megan however, quickly raises her finger tentatively at the bear. "What's up?" Myron says as he turns around.

The bear is standing right over him and growls, causing Myron's face to sink and for him to start taking several steps away. Ashe does so, the bear speeds towards the duo, causing both of them to grab each other and start screaming in fear.

"HEY!" A voice yells from the trees, distracting the bear, before it looks to see Katrina holding a tranquiliser, "EAT TRANKS!" She hits a few rocks as she shoots, only hitting the bear once, and Megan a few times.

"And the crowd goes wiiiiillllld," Megan deliriously states as she falls over unconscious, putting her hand up like a conductor. Myron, somehow not having been hit by a single dart, watches with wide eyes as his friend falls unconscious. A wave of adrenaline seems to hit him."Not Megan… Not her!" He starts to notice his best friend asleep on the ground, and an angry face forms. Katrina's eyes dart around before she ducks back into the bush.

Confessional

"Sorry mom, but it IS a robot? And I can't just let it and the other campers take out my friends!" Myron states this with a determined expression. "Bear incident or not, I can take this thing down!"

Confessional Ends

"ALRIGHT! THAT'S IT! COME AND GET ME YOU OVERGROWN TEDDY!" Yells the voice of a determined Myron before he speeds right at the tired bear, leaping on its back and knocking it over.

Hearing the yelling, Susan, Rory, and Carol run in and see the situation that just played out before they blink several times over at the strange sight. Carol also notices her discarded rope and picks it up quickly, putting it back on her belt

"Myron, what's happened here?" Rory asks

"I GOT THE BEAR! SOMEONE NET BOTH OF US!"

"What if it wakes up!?" Susan questions, to which Myron replies,

"I DON'T CARE! JUST USE ANOTHER TRANK ON IT!"

"A-Alright?" Carol says as Susan watches and shoots at the bear, Katrina steps in.

"Uh, so I managed to temporarily distract the bear." The former intern states quietly. "I think that means I deserve the win?"

"Really?" Susan asks, "It's one against three,"

"It was worth a try. I have this at least," she states as she goes to shoot more tranquiliser shots, only for a simple click to play, "Out of them…" She sighs, before she continues, "Can you just give me a moment?" before she can reach down and grab more tranquiliser pellets, Rory quickly shoots with the last net in his launcher, getting her stuck on a tree branch

Confessional

"Well, I can say I tried to stop them getting the bear," Katrina admits, before she sarcastically states, "Yay for me…"

Confessional Ends

Pushing the bear and Myron is an extremely hard task for the trio and they struggle before they are stopped.

"OH NO YOU DON'T!" Bob yells as he runs in. Carol, noticing this, runs around and gets ready to fight him, meeting him halfway as they push against each other.

"Q-QUICK! GO! I CAN'T HOLD HIM OFF FOR TOO LONG!" Carol yells to the duo, who keep pushing, now without Carol.

A tiny bit further, the duo come across Morgan, Lauren, Jake and Nadia's group, who all join in to push and drag along the net,

"Where's Carol?" Nadia asks,

"Holding off the other team," Rory adds quickly,

"Cool," She ends her worrying. As do the tripled amount of people helping to take them. Myron and the bear are somewhat easily carried to the end and placed in front of Chris. Bob then runs in, quickly tailed by Carol, who is yelling with a battle cry as Chris holds out his hands.

"Since they caught both the bear and one of their own, THE ELECTRIC TIGERS WIN THE CHALLENGE!" As the team cheers and Bob looks downwards, Chris says, "I guess the Frozen Lions will have to send someone home tonight."

As the net is cut open, Myron quickly pulls himself away from the bear as Chris presses the kill switch, shutting the robot bear off. Myron walks up to a tree and sits down against it, holding his head.

"I can't believe we won" he states, sighing in relief.

"Yep, and you were MVP," Rory says, giving him a fistbump. Morgan stands back and gives a small nod.

"Hey, I need to walk over and get Megan, I'll see you guys in a little bit."

Confessional

"I… I got called the MVP in a team challenge… I'm… I'm kinda floored, to be honest. Also, I TOOK ON A BEAR! Hopefully, that means my fear of them is out the window." A bears growl is then heard and he screams in fear. "Guess not..." as he says this the very distinct laughter of Chris is heard from outside the confessional.

Next Confessional

"Humph," Morgan grunts, "I'm shocked to admit it. But Myron has guts, both kinds I mean," He then chuckles. "It takes real nerves of steel to straight-up tackle a bear."

Confessional Ends

At this moment, Tegan and Hannah come rolling in a pile, fighting each other and pulling each other's hair. Bob looks at the two of them with a disapproving and annoyed expression before he walks over and pulls them apart, with both girls still swiping at each other.

"ALRIGHT!" Bob yells, "It is time to cool off," He then goes back to his normal tone. "We already LOST the challenge, partially due to you two," He sighs, places both girls down and enters back into the forest to find everyone else in the team, as Tegan and Hannah turn away from each other in annoyance.

Confessional

A split-screen is shown with Tegan on the left side and Hannah on the right as they both say, in a furious tone, "She's going DOOOOOOOOOOOWN tonight,"

Carol sits at the window of the spa hotel, resting after the team's victory before she starts thinking out loud.

"Wow… The team… Actually kind of likes me!" Her face then falls, "But what if they think I'm like that in their heads! I'm not like Professor Z, I can't read minds!" She then starts to hyperventilate, "Ohgodohgodohgod was all of this for nothing? "Am I just gonna be known as the new Leonard or something?" She then looks upwards, before she quickly closes and opens her eyes, "No, not again, I WILL make actual friends here."

Confessional

"I honestly expected to be out by this point," Carol admits. "But I survived an elimination ceremony and my team won twice! I just want to make sure I'm not treated like a baby by the rest of the team. I already get enough of that at home." She then facepalms, thinking of her siblings and classmate's reactions to what she's been like. "And you guys all probably watching this and laughing at me… aren't you?" She sighs. "The cycle continues."

Myron steps outside of his cabin before he walks over to the Lions cabin and knocks on the female side. A voice in a tired, flat tone says to come in before he opens the door. He sees Megan lying down in bed.

"How's it going?" Myron asks, which causes Megan to form a tired and small smile.

"It's strong. I can barely keep my eyes open," Myron smiles in response.

"Saw what the tranks look like. Mom told me these only last a few hours. Poachers like using them all the time. You'll be fine for tomorrow. Where was it anyway?"

"Three of 'em got me right on the shoulder," Megan adds, "Hopefully I'm fine for the next challenge."

"Got you a little something to make up for today," Myron admits before he grabs a tray and opens it to reveal some cooked chicken and chips. "Gotta up the ante from what you gave me this morning," he laughs and Megan chuckles as he hands her the plate. Megan quickly puts it on her lap,

Myron then sits and says, "Thanks for being by my side in the challenge. Even though I was… how I was."

"No worries," Megan states, grabbing a chicken leg, "What are friends for?"

"I hope they don't think we're in an alliance or something,"

"I mean, if we both make it to merge we sort of will be," Megan shrugs, to which Myron nods in agreement. She then takes a bite of the chicken, "Wow this tastes good!" As she says this, footsteps are heard as they both look surprised. Myron quickly climbs up a duo of bunk beds and opens a window, which he falls out of with a thud. Megan puts the lid on the food and puts it to her side, away from the door and quickly swallows what's left in her hand.

Jemma then walks in and quickly notices something is up.

"Hey," she says, "What's that smell?"

"Smell? I can't smell anything," Megan quickly says, "Though I might just be a bit tired still! I need a bit of tim-"

"Aha!" Jemma says, noticing the plate to Megan's right. "I'm guessing you didn't sneak into the Tiger's cabins and brought it in, so someone brought it in for you. Myron, I presume?"

"That… Was quick… yeah," Megan replies,

"I'm a sucker for figuring stuff out," Jemma says, "anyways, I'm fine with Myron. I think along with Bob, we'd be a good final four, so I'm not gonna get up you or anything,"

"Why Bob?" Megan asks,

"He's actually pretty cool if you get to know him, to be honest." Megan shrugs at this news, taking Jemma's words for it.

"Anyway, any ideas on who we're voting for?" the band girl asks her friend.

"I think Tegan's going to be the more useful team member going forward. Think about it, when she isn't annoyed she's the member that is more willing to work with the team. Hannah mostly does her own thing really."

"Good point. She did also just leave me and Katrina to get screwed over the last challenge."

"Exactly. Tegan, for all her flaws, is sort of helpful. She was the one that came to my aid at the last moment in the previous challenge for one."

"Alright, then," Megan shrugs, "I guess we'll go with that."

"Cool, see you soon when you're able to walk," Jemma states as she walks out.

Tegan stands, pacing outside the confessional before she steps inside,

Tegan sits down, quickly saying, "I need to get the votes, but I'm not sure how. I guess there's always plan B…"

Over with the Tigers, Susan is shown stepping out of the kitchen with a milkshake and a smile on her face, before she is quickly met by Morgan. "Hello Susan," the Perfect guy says, deathly serious,

"Oh, hey Morgan, what's up?" she answers, a smile on her face.

"I heard what you said in the confessional last elimination," This causes Susan's eyes to go wide and for her to start stuttering,

"I have no idea what you're- uh, did you know the interns make really high-quality milkshakes? That's what I've heard from them at le-" This is interrupted by Morgan, who quickly replies,

"Which one of the two of us has an IQ of 155? I can think of a way through this. We have five out of nine members of the team, and I'm 'friends' with three of them, I own this game now, hope you guys enjoy seeing more of me," He quotes verbatim. This causes Susan to go pale,

"Y-you made your point…" She starts, "What do you want me to do to make you not reveal it?"

"It's simple really…" He starts, "If I'm gone, the secret is leaked. I'm sure Lauren and the people you're 'friends' with would LOVE to know you're playing them like a cheap fiddle. Pretty much, keep me in, and your secret is safe. Don't, and I tell EVERYONE. Oh yeah, and if we make final 2… You let me win,"

Confessional

"Uh… It's not really like I have much of a choice…" Susan slowly says, "Craaaaaaaaap,"

Confessional Ends

After a couple moments of silence, she replies with, "Fine…"

"Cool, a pleasure doing business with you," Morgan replies with a smirk,

Confessional:

"From almost certainly next out to the best position in the team." Morgan then flexes his muscles, smirking, "MAN! Am I good, or what?"

Confessional Ends:

Hannah walks towards the cabins, angry, however, she is quickly pulled into a bush by a hand.

"Shhhhhh," Comes the voice of Gary, sitting in the bush. "I have a proposition for you,"

"Not on live TV, and definitely not with you," Hannah says quickly with a bewildered expression on her face,

"What?" Gary questions, before Xavier's voice also states,

"Dude, think about what you just did," Gary pinches the bridge of his nose in annoyance in response.

"Oh for fu-" he sighs, "Look, Xavier and I are in an alliance and we want you in too."

"OH, in that case, what do I get out of this, you two are really tight and all that," Hannah replies, to which Gary quickly states,

"You get free choice of who goes this elimination, and I can already guess who that'll be,"

"Yeah," Hannah starts, "Tegan's going to get out of here. But the question is, how are we going to get the votes? This is only three out of eight."

"We just need to get two people to flip," Gary states, "I'll convince Bob, you convince one of the girls,"

"Fine," She states, "I guess we have a deal. We'll be the final three I guess,"

Confessional

"Alliances are mainstream," Hannah admits with a shrug, "but knowing full well that someone is a villain and teaming up with them anyway? Not so much. Well, he's either a villain or one of those strategic heroes that toe the line, which is close enough for me!."

Next Confessional

"With seven people left in our team after this episode, having three of them will be one of the best choices possible. We just need to get one more vote and we have either a permanent majority or a voting block."

Jake waits in the victory cabin before Nadia walks up,

"So… What's the issue?" The hot-blooded asks,

"Okay… I want to talk to you about the last challenge," Jake replies, causing Nadia to raise an eyebrow,

"Sure…" She states, in minor confusion.

"I almost had the case at one point, but then two of the guys from the Lions came in. Xavier and Gary, I'm pretty sure. And… I'm not sure what happened, but I just froze when it happened. Something stopped me from grabbing the case. I'm not sure what it was, it was just a… a feeling,"

"So a feeling as in?" Nadia questions,

"I… I don't know," He shrugs, "It's weird, I guess it was sort of a shock to the system or something. Like I want to sort of give him some kind of a hand even though he's on the other team. I've felt it before, but probably only like, once,"

"Okay…" Nadia says, "Are there any similarities between those two times?"

"Well, none that I can really think of… I mean it happened with the other guy years ago when I was 13,"

"Wait a moment, repeat what you just said," Nadia mentions,

"It was when I was 13," Jake shrugs,

"No, the other part," she clarifies,

"It happened with the other guy?" Jake questions,

"Are you meaning, a guy, or another person?"

"I… I'm not homosexual," he says, slowly growing an annoyed face, "If that's what you were getting at,"

"Hey, I'm just saying ideas here," Nadia states with her hands up defensively, "Anyways, what's so wrong with being gay?"

"Obviously nothing," Jake comments, "I just know I'm straight."

"Ok," she shrugs,

"Ah forget this," Jake says annoyedly before he walks out,

"Wait, what's wrong?" Nadia calls out in annoyance before she follows Jake, who is not answering simply rolls his eyes as they walk out to the members of the team staring at them,

"So the lovebirds finally decided to stop making out," Lauren jokingly mentions after both of them reveal themselves.

"Great theory," Nadia mentions, "but there's just one flaw with that. I like girls," causing Jake to walk off, a dejected look on his face

Confessional

"Not really what I'm mainly defined by, to be honest," Nadia says, "Never felt the need to say it. Anyways, none of the girls are my type." she proceeds to shrug. "Jake looked kind of peeved, could be denial, but I'm going to give him his space anyways,"

Next Confessional

"So, I'm guessing Nadia's just imprinting stuff from her life onto mine. Damn it, why can't I just play the role of the team leader. This game is so much harder and more annoying than I was thinking," Jake sighs in annoyance

Katrina steps into the female cabin right after Megan has finished eating and walks up to her,

"Admit it," she states,

"W-what do you mean?" Megan asks, confused,

"You and Myron. You're in a cross-team alliance," she crosses her arms in annoyance.

"Well… We're uh, we're friends, but we're not an alliance or anything," She states,

"Cut the crap. You're the only duo across all of Total Drama to actually be not annoying, like each other and be on opposite teams." She starts stomping her feet in annoyance before she says, "Just admit it!"

"I uh… I don't know what you're talking about," Megan replies, causing Katrina to yell out angrily and walk towards the door. However, Hannah is standing at the door in response.

"What do you want?" Katrina calls out in an annoyed tone, to which Hannah quickly says,

"I'm telling you to vote with me against Tegan. She is SO much more useless than me. That goes for you too Megan. I'll take you two to the final three if you vote with me today."

"I'll think about it," Katrina says before she pushes past Hannah and continues on outward. Hannah turns to Megan and says, "And how about you?"

"Possibly," Megan replies as Hannah shrugs and walks out,

Confessional

"And with that, we have two votes on our side," Hannah smirks before she specifies, "five, possibly six overall,"

Confessional Ends

"… and that's why we should keep Tegan around over Hannah," Jemma explains to Bob who nods in agreement before she turns around and sees Hannah walking away from the cabins with a smirk on her face and Katrina stomping off. However, she also sees Tegan on her way to intercept her and relaxes, before she turns to Bob and says. "You agree?"

"You'll see at elimination. I've already been asked by Gary to vote Tegan off and both of you raised good points." Jemma raises an eyebrow at this,

"Gary wants Tegan gone?" Jemma asks, "Interesting,"

"Yeah, it's weird," Bob replies. "Anyways, see ya at elimination," he says as he turns back around.

Confessional

"Look, the sooner I can get Gary out the better." Bob quickly states, "He did come by and ask me to vote Tegan, and he did give me reasons, but I'm going to make sure he goes sooner rather than later,"

Confessional Ends

Tegan runs up to Katrina and quickly says, "Look, vote against Hannah! Please!"

"Tell me how you're better than Hannah?" Katrina states,

"I've done so much more; I was a big part of the reason we WON the last challenge." Tegan says the reason quickly before she gets more serious and says, "I STOPPED JEMMA FROM BEING TAKEN OUT!"

"Alrighty, I'll rephrase what I asked. What do I get from you, that I don't get from Hannah?"

"I, uh… Well,"

"Thank you. You just made the vote so much easier," Katrina says as she goes to walk off, however, Tegan quickly calls out,

"WAIT! Look, I'll… I'll give you a free vote to spend whenever. You have to admit, having two votes for an elimination ceremony later on can be a massive help,"

After a couple seconds of silence, where the former intern was frozen in her tracks, Katrina, looking happy, turns around and says, "If you're still in, then I have voted Hannah and the deal is on." Katrina states, causing Tegan to nod.

Confessional

"Well, this is a nice change of fates. I can use this vote WHENEVER I want if I go through with the deal, meaning I have a safety net. Even if I just make it past the first third of eliminations, I'll probably be popular enough to interview and all that, so at this point, I'm in the clear. Chris, count your days hosting, you're going DOWN!"

Elimination Ceremony 3 – Frozen Lions (8 members)

"Well, well, well," Chris says, a smirk on his face, "Looks like you guys aren't kings of the jungle this time," he stands up and grabs the plate of hotdogs, "Hey, at least you get these hotdogs. Well, all except for one of you,"

"Yeah, this is going to be fun," Hannah states, smirking at Tegan, who glares back determined.

"Alright campers, you know the deal, tell us your votes in the confessional, I'll quickly watch them, and then you'll be sending one of your own out on our fireworks." Tegan is the first to go, followed by Hannah, Gary, Bob, Jemma, Xavier, Megan and finally Katrina and, as Katrina returns, Chris walks out of a tent having written the votes down, and prepares to provide safety.

"On this plate, seven hotdogs sit. The player who doesn't receive one of these will have to take a ride on the fireworks of shame and will lose out on their chance to win the million bucks. The first camper safe is…

Megan,"

"That's a relief," the band girl states as she stumbles up to get her hotdog, still tired by her previous tranquilizing shot, but at least able to move. "Sorry, feet are still waking up,"

"Jemma, Xavier, you're both safe too." Chris states, throwing hotdogs at each.

"Awesome," Xavier replies, happily, as both catch theirs and start eating.

"The academy hot dog goes to Gary," The actor walks up smugly before Chris continues., "Bob, Katrina, you're both also safe," the giant walks up happily, but Katrina walks up with an eyebrow raised.

"Bottom three eh?" That's a bit convenient…" Katrina states, slowly.

"And we have come to the main event!" Chris states, "Could have gone on longer, but ah well. Bottom 2! Tegan! Hannah! Your constant fighting is annoying the members of the team, and you both have sour attitudes that also turn people away, but the question is, who is the worst offender according to the team in these regards? That person is…

Hannah!"

"Yes!" Hannah calls out, "IN YOUR FACE TEGAN!"

"WHAT THE HECK GUYS!?" Tegan yells out to the members of her team,

"Hang on a second," Jemma says, bewildered "There must have been a miscount in votes, we had five people voting Hannah?"

"Yep, we had a 5-3 vote split..." Chris admits before pausing, causing Jemma to look even more bewildered, "To send Hannah home! You guys didn't catch how I worded that."

Hannah's excitement and smugness evaporate immediately into shock and confusion, and Tegan grows a smirk,

"So, I'm safe?" Tegan asks,

"Yep!" Chris says as Tegan walks over and grabs the hot dog, with Gary looking shocked and Xavier having an eyebrow raised in surprise,

"B-b-b-b-b-b-b-but," Hannah sputters out, dropping all annoyance and jerkiness to confusedly and fearfully look at Chris.

"YEP!" Chris happily states, "That means we say goodbye to Hannah!"

"Bu-bu-bu-bu… I… I had the votes?" She questions,

"You very nearly did actually," Katrina admits, "But I had a better offer given to me,"

Confessional

"CRAP!" Gary yells in the confessional. "I'M GONNA BE ON THE BOTTOM NOW!"

Confessional Ends

A frozen look of confused horror appears on Hannah's face as Tegan walks up to her, "Looks like I win this one eh?" which snaps Hannah back to reality,

"You got lucky," she states, before she stomps off towards the dock, Chef following her with Chris and the rest of the team behind them,

A wipe transition shows Chef tying Hannah to the rocket, even with the glare she shows, as Chris walks up and says, "Any last words?"

"I could blow this game right open and reveal everything I know," Gary's eyes widen at this, "But eh, I'm kind of going for the person I would screw over, so, good luck to them," the hipster then makes sure to specify, "Though, make sure you take her out when you get a proper chance." Her eyes directly on Tegan, who smirks and blows a raspberry in response.

"Anything else?" Chris asks,

"At least this wasn't a normie way of leaving the game I guess? Like the limo, or the cannon, or even," before she starts laughing in disgust, "That boat of losers? You didn't pander to the crowd for this one, just like with the toilet," Chris is not impressed by this and presses the button, sending Hannah flying,

"SCREW YOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOU!" She yells at the top of her lungs as she's sent flying off, while simultaneously putting her middle fingers up for Chris to see for the split second she can still be seen. Chris rolls his eyes,

"Alright then! You guys have made the top seven for your team, congratulations on that!" Chris states, to which the team look with neutral expressions,

"Not really much of an accomplishment to be honest," Tegan shrugs, "But beating her is enough of one for me," She walks off with her head held high, quickly followed by the rest of her team.

"And thus, we are down to 15. Who will go home next? Who will find the immunity idol? And what drama will be spawned after this elimination? Find out in future episodes of TOTAL! DRAMA! ELEMENTAL ISLANDS!" He gives a big smile to the screen as it fades out.

The camera fades back into Gary, who's looking through the bushes that Bob hid in at the start of the episode, It's the dead of night, and he finds something that makes him smirk, leading him to grab it, and ending the episode.

Voting Confessionals

Bob: The giant sits back, smirking, "I vote Hannah. She's annoying, and I want to stay in, so I see better chances with the girls than the guys,"

Next Confessional

Gary: The theatre kid sits and comments, "With Hannah on my side I will have three out of eight votes, then I'll just need to flip one of the others over to my side after we take one of them out, and boom, I have more than half the votes against the girls. Tegan is purely collateral damage at this point, sorry not sorry,"

Next Confessional

Hannah: "See ya never Tegan," The hipster smirks in assured victory.

Next Confessional

Jemma: "Between Hannah and Tegan, Hannah is the more annoying, plus Tegan's actually kind of alright when you get to know her, so I kind of wanna be friends with her. Nothing personal,"

Next Confessional

Katrina: "For now I'll vote Hannah, that lets me have my deal with Tegan, but I've got my eye on Megan and Jemma," the intern stands back up without another word and walks out

Next Confessional

Megan: "Uh, so I vote for Hannah," Megan scratches the back of her neck, "Hopefully Jemma knows what she's talking about with Tegan."

Next Confessional

Tegan: "I swear, if I get out before that Hipster jerk, then I'm going to scream, just go home already Hannah you *Censor Bleep*" She stands up in exasperated anger, "Katrina better honour my deal,"

Next Confessional

Xavier: "Well I guess I vote for Tegan." Xavier shrugs but continues, "I don't really hold anything against her or anything, but it's what the alliance wants so sorry I guess,"

Bonus Clip:

Richard stands at the entrance to the rebuilt Playa Des Losers, with his trademark bored expression on his face. He turns to the camera and states, "Hello, here we are to meet the third camper eliminated from Total Drama Elemental Islands, hopefully, it's not someone loud, I already have to deal with Alfred,"

"I'm RIGHT here you know?" Alfred questions from the side, as the camera moves out to show both guys there, Alfred decides to continue, "I've been in all three of these so far, I love the camera time, but can I have a break?"

"This should be your last one," Richard replies, "If you appear in any more then it's your choice,"

"Sweet," Alfred replies as the firework lands on the ground, "I wonder who it is?" The rich kid questions as he walks over and sees Hannah before he quickly ducks backward behind Richard.

"Can someone untie me?" Hannah states, her annoyed tone returning,

"I'm not into you like that!" Alfred calls out from behind Richard before a couple second silence happens…

"What are you even on about?" Was the response Hannah gave as an intern begins to untie her.

"You didn't vote me, obviously that must mean you have a crush on me," in response, Hannah starts laughing,

"Really?" she says in between her fits of laughter, "You actually think I'd have a crush on YOU!?"

"W-well yes…" Alfred states, "It was quite apparent,"

"I'm a hipster, not insane," the Contrarian replies as she goes to walk away laughing before she is stopped by the hand of Richard,

"I require a question answered before you go,"

"Eh, sure, shoot," she states as Alfred walks away slouched over,

"How do you feel about your elimination?"

"Look, am I annoyed? Yeah, but at least I can do my own thing now, and that means at least a bit of time away from the idiots on my team,"

"Very fair," He admits, "It was the same deal with me until I landed this,"

"So can I go now?" Hannah asks,

"Yes," Richard drones on, causing Hannah to roll her eyes and walk off, He then turns to the camera, "And thus, my first bonus clip is done, come back to see what the next out thinks of their elimination, alongside a guest appearance from Hannah. Thank you," before the scene fades back out.

Electric Tigers: Carol, Jake, Lauren, Morgan, Myron, Nadia, Rory, Susan

Frozen Lions: Bob, Gary, Hannah(Eliminated), Jemma, Katrina, Megan, Tegan, Xavier

Not the best, not the worst amount of time between episodes. As I write this though, is screwing up and new chapters aren't displaying. Obviously, if you're reading this you can read this episode, but still.

Also, more than 13,000 words, wow… uh, I did not expect that. I was expecting around 10,000 again if I'm being honest. Imagine if the length of the chapters just get longer and longer each time lol. I really enjoy how this episode came across though, I needed a little bit of fiddling around to make some parts written earlier make sense with scenes that take place earlier in the challenge but later written

I hope people notice the hidden Squirrel Girl reference in the chapter, I am quite proud of that joke. Now that I referenced it here though, you can probably find it kind of easily. Still, it was a reference I enjoyed so ah well

And yeah, I didn't explain what the "Bear Incident" with Myron was. I will reveal it, just not right now, so sorry about that.

Katrina seems to have it out for Megan and Myron now, and she now has a good reason for it.

I realise at around 11,000 words in that the episode is VERY confessional heavy. I'm sorry about that, I'll try to limit it a bit in the following episodes. This episode just feels like a good time to focus on the character's thoughts, especially with the simpler challenge and so I think I went a bit overboard with this. I did delete a couple of confessionals that weren't as useful but there are still way more than other episodes, even episode 3.

For Hannah's elimination: I don't really think it's the most surprising elimination. Hannah's sort of not done too much aside from her rivalry with Tegan and interacting with Alfred in episode 2, but ah well. She was an alright character to write for

Fun fact though: originally her elimination was swapped with the next out and Hannah would be the fourth camper eliminated, but I feel the plot makes more sense for what I'm planning in the future. I won't go into any more details to avoid spoilers. Plus I preferred writing for the next out anyways.

1st - 15th: ?
