Total Drama Action (Complicated Chaos)
Chapter 6: 3:10 To Crazytown
Recap
Chris was standing at the ready to begin recapping the last episode.
"Last time on Total Drama Action… It was time for the beach themed challenge. Lindsay's luck for the day took a turn for the worst when her surfboard ride went trailer park twister, while her bestie Beth took an interest in Topher while seeking approval of dating him from her new friend Jay. Speaking of Topher he publicly broke up with Amy after she threw her sister Sammy at the last part of the surfboard challenge. In the second part of the challenge Trent's number 9 obsession drove everyone on his team crazy but luckily for him Beth bailed him out with her friendship castle. All tied up a dance off to determine the winner started fine enough but ended in disaster for Tom when Leshawna inadvertently injured him. Leshawna was all set to be eliminated when Tom felt since he could not compete at 100% it wasn't fair for him to stay sparing Leshawna. We are down to the Top 20, where one more gets cut tonight on Total Drama Action!"

[Whistling, end Theme Song]
Right Outside Trailer
The day was extra hot for the contestants as the camera showed the sun then went down to show Jen and Brick underneath an umbrella. Jen was not enjoying it at all. "Sweat is not a good look for me."
"I don't think sweat is a good look no matter who." Brick said back.
"True. Ugh." Jen said looking sad..
"What, is the heat still getting to you?"
"No it's not that. It's just still Tom, he's my best friend and it's just the guilt of me talking him into doing the dance only to have him break his leg and leave. It's just crushing." Jen said
"It'll be fine ma'am." Brick reassured her. "Besides you can win this game in his honor now, it is such an honorable thing to do."
"Yeah you're right." Jen sighed "Still doesn't make it any better that this top is not great in the heat."
Meanwhile
Lindsay and Beth were sitting in the slight shade underneath the girls' trailer. Both girls look exhausted from the heat with Lindsay's makeup slightly smearing while Beth sweated profusely.
"Did you not bring any shorts with you?" Lindsay asked.
"No, normally I have a pretty big heat resistance but this heat is unbearable. I hate looking all sweaty." Beth said. "How's Tyler doing?"
"I don't know, he's been super busy with the intern stuff."
"I still can't believe him and Cody agreed to split the money and they have to be interns for Chris." Beth said in annoyance. "What do you think they are doing?"
Wild West Set
Chris had an annoyed look on his face as his cowboy outfit was one size too small and he was addressing Cody and Tyler neither of which looked too perturbed "Since you two dipshits ordered the wrong size, you two can test the challenge for the day, jumping from up there." Chris said pointing up to a high point
Confessional: Tyler
Tyler had a pained look but was still smiling "This will be worth it tonight"
Back to Beth and Lindsay
"They're probably testing out the challenge, that would be my best guest." Lindsay said and soon after Jay showed up in his usual outfit.
"Woah, Jay it's like 90 degrees outside" Beth said worriedly "How are you not sweating like crazy in this heat?"
"Heh, funny thing my brother and I can't feel hot or cold. Got frostbite once and I did not feel a thing until my mother freaked out, drove me to the doctor and the whole time I told her I felt nothing." Jay told Beth and Lindsay.
"Are you part robot?" Lindsay asked.
Jay decided to try and be funny. "Yep, heh, it's all circuitry and wires in here." he said sarcastically
Lindsay did not take it as a joke "Aah! Robots are taking over the world" Lindsay yelled out before trying to run in the trailer only to hit her head.
"Oh no, I am so sorry." Jay said trying to make things better, however Lindsay was knocked out cold.
"Oh Lindsay will be fine, she's not the brightest but she is lovable." Beth said "Oh and I knew you were joking and that you aren't a robot."
Confessional: Jay
"That's why I don't try to be funny, it just backfires in my face."
Confessional: Lindsay
"Ow my head. How'd I get this bruise?" Lindsay asked, having a huge bruise on her face.
Confessional: Beth
Beth had a huge smile on her face "I love Linds but that was so funny" Beth then gasped "Note to self make sure Lindsay doesn't see this."
Back to Outside Trailers
The camera then panned away to show Harold struggling up the window of the boys trailer "Too hot… to do… anything! Ugh! My mad skills are falling right out of me. I can feel it. My mojo isn't sweat proof" Leshawna who was nearby looked annoyed.
"Look Harold I know things are hot but sugarbaby we need to talk." Leshawna said.
"Yes my luscious lady" Harold said, trying to flirt. Leshawna quickly pulled Harold behind the trailer, clearly ignoring his flirting.
"Okay first of all I know you are trying to impress me, just don't with this whole mojo, mad skills part. That's not the Harold I love, the Harold I love is more authentic and not trying to put up a front." Leshawna demanded.
"Yes Leshawna, what else?"
"Had Tom not quit the other day I think I would have been a goner. We need to be aware of everything and everyone. I know you're having fun and I am too but we both want this money." Leshawna stated.
"Right, how do we do that? We can't get Duncan out as he is a challenge asset to the team, unfortunately."
"Simple we just make sure it's not us that is all we have to do. I don't care if it's Sadie, Courtney, one of the newbies as long as we are here, that's all that matters." Leshawna told Harold.
"Okay." Harold said, cracking his hands and arms "Can I at least pretend with this whole mad skill bit to everyone else?"
"Why?" Leshawna asked.
''I think it can lower my threat level by acting all silly and goofy. No one will see it coming when I vote them out."
"I like the way you think honey. Out of everyone on the team, who should we try and pull to our side to work with? I was thinking Brick and Jen could be a good starting point"
"Agreed."
Confessional: Leshawna
"Ah, that Harold, he and I can just bounce ideas off of each other. He and I are just in sync with each other. Getting nearly eliminated from the last challenge has opened my eyes up to this game, and to be on high alert."
Confessional: Harold
"Ah Leshawna she is so amazing, she loves me despite my flaws. This season I want to actually show my intelligence off and win this game. Last season I got too in my head and had to play catch up for so long until I was taken out right when I thought I had traction. This season it is about never underestimating anyone, everyone has value and everyone is dangerous.
Meanwhile
Amy was sitting on a chair with a smug look while Sammy fanned her with a leaf, but Amy did not seem impressed. "Can't you fan any faster?" she asked her twin sister.
"I am going as fast as I can, it's not exactly easy since I am also suffering in the heat," Sammy said.
"Stop playing victim."
"Yes Amy." Sammy sighed dejectedly
Confessional: Sammy
"So yeah my sister and I don't see eye to eye at all. She is always the bossy and domineering one. I wish I knew how to stand up for myself and stop having her dictate me."
Confessional: Amy
"As long as I have Sammy as the obedient little dog she is, I can run my team from behind the scenes. Yeah I can be a bitch, but I will run this team and nothing will stop me."
Back to Scene
The camera panned out to show DJ and Geoff in a pool panting to try and stay cool while Duncan had his feet in a cold water bucket as Courtney walked up to him.
"Hey" Courtney said weakly.
"Hey princess, the heat is getting to you too?" Duncan asked.
"It's just I wanted to say let's kill it in today's challenge. I doubt Leshawna and Harold will flop so if we do lose we need to come up with an alternative target." Courtney suggested.
"Sounds good princess, any ideas?"
"I'll let you know. Just to have you know, just because I am talking game with you does not mean this is back on. Got it?" Courtney said sternly.
"Got it."
The camera then went to Katie who sneezed as she was with Trent nearby under a tree. "I can't get a cold in this heat."
Trent had a water bottle ready to go to help her " Water? You're the only girl I'd risk catching some heinous virus from Katie."
Katie looked uncomfortable "Heh, that's uh, sweet, Trent. Thanks. It's probably just allergies. Just don't lose your mind today. Okay?"
"I won't." Trent reassured her.
Chris then showed up in a cowboy outfit and fired his gun which got everyone to jump with Harold hitting his head and Beth covering her ears as everyone walked into scene.
"Take it easy. Guns are loaded with blanks." Chris said blowing the slight smoke off the gun right at Harold making him cough, "Least I'm pretty sure one of 'em is." Then Chris decided to try and have a southern accent. "Since there's no beatin' the heat, we're goin' west this week. There's a town meeting at high noon. Be there or I'll drive you deadbeats outta town!"
Lindsay did not get the memo "If we are going out of town can we go to the mall?"
"No Lindsay, we aren't going to the mall. You're still stuck here by contract." Chris said, dropping the southern accent. "But you get to see your boyfriend Tyler at the challenge, since he helped to test out our challenge."
"Ooh yay!" Lindsay excitedly said heading back in the trailer to get her makeup only to once again hit her head on the door making most people wince.
Confessional: Leshawna
Leshawna was still trying to beat the heat when her hair poofed up into a huge ball in the confessional. "Ugh. Darn humidity. The sooner this is over, the better. I can already see people laughing their ass off at me"
Start of Challenge
Sure enough the challenge was beginning when Leshawna walked in with her afro which got a lot of shocked looks and Jen to giggle. Leshawna however quickly heard this.
"I'm sorry, do you see something wrong with my hair?" Leshawna asked approaching Jen.
"No, no I actually think you pull the look off pretty well, most girls could not pull an afro look down but you pull it off pretty well." Jen told her complimenting her.
Duncan however wasn't as convinced "Not from where I'm standing. She doesn't pull it off."
Chris then showed up "Listen up, partners." he said in his southern accent. "In any good western, there are heroes, outlaws, horses, and pretty dames. The hero defeats the outlaw, then rides off into the sunset on the horse." Chris explained
Beth then interrupted, "What about the pretty dames?"
Chris jokingly got mad "None of your beeswax! Just messing with ya! They usually hang out in the saloon during the bar brawl."
Harold looked amazed "Bar brawl? Cool." He then tried to do some of his wicked moves until Duncan tripped him into a bunch of water.
"Awesome reenactment, Harold. Most brawls do end up with the loser in the water trough." Duncan said but his action got glares from people like Brick, Dawn, and Jen.
Confessional: Harold
"Was it annoying getting wet there? Oh definitely but it is all part of the plan, looking stupid like that lowers my threat level and raises Duncan's."
Confessional: Leshawna
"Now that I know Harold is doing it to lower his target level it makes it so much more amusing."
Back to Challenge
Chris went back to the camera on him "Time for your challenge. No cowboy worth spittin' at will go one day without saddle practice." Chris then broke into an accent. "Time to saddle up!" The camera then showed an old musty horse that looked like it could barely keep itself afloat and farted a ton. "That's the best steed we could afford?" Chris asked
Chef was elsewhere angrily typing on an old typewriter "You want a five-star hotel and champagne and caviar for breakfast? Hm. I gotta cut somewhere."
Chris did not seem to mind "It's perfect! Don't change a thing."
Confessional: Beth
"Ooh, I love horsies! Justin told me last season I looked like one. He's so… great. Remind me, what did I see in that guy again?" Beth said and if on cue a picture of Justin was given to her "Oh right good looks, ooh there's a note it reads Dear Beth, stop thirsting after me when I am not even on the damn season." Beth frowned at this.
Confessional: Trent
Who says a western has to end with a guy and his horse. This is the movies we are doing here. The guy always gets the girl. Meaning me. I can throw the challenge and make sure Katie stays safe. I just need to be subtle about things.
Back to Challenge
Duncan did not look impressed snickering, approaching the horse "You call this a challenge?"
Chris however interrupted "Not so fast. You cowboys and cowgirls are gonna have to mount the steed from up there. Since the Gaffers lost last week, they go first. Don't worry. Our unpaid intern Tyler have assured us it's safe."
Tyler was shown from afar in a sling for his arm for the day on account of the injury "Screw you Chris." Chris himself did not look pleased with Tyler's attitude
"Where's my latte Tyler, get it here quickly and be snappy." Chris demanded as Tyler ran off.
Lindsay per usual was not pleased "Wait Tyler, ugh. Why can't I get some alone time with him? It's just not fair."
"Heh yeah no Lindsay. He's an intern and he is gonna earn every penny of that 50,000 dollars, so tough." Chris said, sounding annoyed. "Anyways, Katie and Sadie, our sick identical matching ladies, you're up first."
Katie and Sadie both simultaneously sneezed at the same time which Jen noticed "Aww you guys get sick at the same time. That's so cute."
"Guys I seriously think we're coming down with something" Katie said, sounding like she wanted out of jumping.
"Oh no" Courtney said angrily, "You are not costing us the challenge today. So you either jump or you are a target heading into tonight."
"Okay fine." Katie sighed exasperatedly. "Wish us luck."
"Break a leg Katie." Trent said as Katie and Sadie were climbing.
"Dude too soon," Cody whispered in his ear.
"What do you mean too soon? The saying ''break a leg'' is a fancy way of saying good luck I am sure." Trent told Cody
"Even if that's true, think of what happened in the last challenge." Cody reasoned with hm
"Oh right."
Meanwhile with Katie and Sadie
Katie and Sadie were climbing the ladder with each sneezing until they got up to the top. Katie looked uncertain looking down, "I can't do it." Katie said unfortunately she had such a powerful sneeze it knocked both her and Sadie off the platform and while Katie landed on the horse rather painfully scoring a point, Sadie landed on the ground injuring herself.
"Ooh. You okay girl" Leshawna asked both of them.
Trent didn't wait to see if his girlfriend Katie "Let me help you up." Trent tried to help her, but unfortunately hurt her left arm some more.
Confessional: Katie
"I know Trent meant well, and he is such a romantic. But I was not in the mood. I just hurt my former best friend and my body was aching."
Confessional: Trent
"I feel so stupid. What the hell was I thinking back there?!"
Back to Challenge
Harold was the next one up completely flapping his arms about until he landed on the horse somewhat painfully. He managed to recover but before he could get off Duncan also landed on him
"OW! Get off of me Duncan" Harold yelled out.
Chris was impressed about the whole thing though "Way to pad the saddle, Duncan!"
"Uh, Harold doesn't look good." Jen noted.
Sure enough Harold looked dizzy and fell on his face after he got off the horse with Leshawna walking him off to make sure he's okay.
Confessional: Leshawna
"I am fine with Harold lowering his threat level but I don't want to see him get so injured he leaves the game."
Back to Challenge
The show went back to the challenge showing a montage of some of the Gaffers jumps, Courtney did a perfect swan dive onto the horse which got Duncan googly eyed. Brick did not fare as well as he landed on the horse face first just missing the mark. Dawn landed on the horse no problem scoring the Gaffers their 5th point. The camera then went to DJ's descent which was unfortunate for him as he was using an item to help the descent but a huge gust of wind blew him away and DJ noticed it way too late
"Not the electrical wire!" DJ yelled out as he hit the wires stunning everyone as Courtney, Dawn, and Katie went to make sure he was okay.
Chris made a point to say "Okay Jen and Leshawna, you two ladies are the last ones up." Chris noted as both ladies began climbing the ladder.
Climbing the Ladder
Both Jen and Leshawna were climbing the ladder with Jen noting "Not only is your afro so fierce. I think you pull off the kumquats on the shirt you wear."
"Aw thanks girl." Leshawna said with both soon reaching the top. "Hey I know you're feeling down about the whole Tom thing, but would you be interested in working together? You are such a kind girl."
"It's something I'll consider. Let's focus on the challenge at hand" Jen said then realized how high she was above the ground. "Oh gosh."
"What's wrong?" Leshawna asked.
"Just, I didn't realize how high this was." Jen said, sounding scared. "I am so good at gymnastics but heights kind of freak me out a bit."
"It's okay girl, we'll do this jump together, okay?" Leshawna reassured.
"Okay. You can do this Jen, you can do this 1,2,3" Jen said and her and Leshawna landed on the horse.
"Alright the Gaffers have 7 which means Grips you are up next. Which means you need 8 of you to jump." Chris announced to the teams. "First up is Trent."
"Well I have already embarrassed myself enough today not like it can get any worse." Trent said a bit dejectedly after accidentally hurting Katie. Unfortunately for Trent he missed the landing and landed right on the fence deliberately "Maybe it can!" he said in a high pitched voice
"Well while Trent walks off that injury Cody you're up."
For Cody's jump he screamed the whole way down but managed a perfect landing however certain teammates did not seem impressed particularly Amy.
Confessional: Cody
"The jump was scary but after Tyler got hurt I wanted to make sure the same didn't happen to me. Heh he and I have a little revenge on Chef later tonight as well."
Confessional: Amy
"Cody is a huge threat in this game. Hello the dude won last season, so I don't get why the team is cheering him on. As much as I would love to kick Samey off for shits and giggles, and dispose of Topher because he dumped me. Both could be useful. Cody? No way."
Back to Challenge
Another montage commenced with Geoff missing the mark with a disapproving look from Amy and Lightning. Both of which were shown landing on the horse just fine. Topher went next and for him he got his pants stuck on a weather vane.
"Ugh this is so humiliating" Topher cried out. However his pants then tore and he managed to with some quick thinking land on the horse.
"Ha, that will show Amy! Ha!" Topher said defiantly.
That was when Sammy spoke up, "Topher um you might wanna look behind you." Sure enough Topher did and saw both his pants and underwear ripped off so his ass was exposed.
"Well, I guess you showed her. And by her, I mean the entire viewing audience got to see your ass." Chris said laughing.
Topher walked away in shame and embarrassment after that display. Chris then looked over to Lindsay "Lindsay you're up, and since you can't see Tyler, you can pick someone to accompany you as a bit of a way to make it up to you."
"Ooh yay! I pick Beth" Lindsay said but Beth decided to shake her head no at that notion
"Um Linds, I am gonna make sure Jay's okay, take Sammy with you she seems a little shy" Beth told her BFF. The camera panned to Jay who was breathing heavily about the whole thing and Sammy who was shocked to be picked.
Confessional: Jay
"I am not as bad with heights as my brothers but it still freaks me out. I don't wanna get hurt and who knows if I am allergic to that horse."
Confessional: Sammy
"I was kind of shocked Beth told Lindsay to pick me. I guess it makes sense since I was the only one left but still shocking nonetheless. I have never been picked for anything!"
Back to Challenge
Sammy and Lindsay were shown at the top of the ladder with Lindsay looking out, "If I go to that big beauty parlor in the sky, can you make sure Tyler has my hair, 'kay?" Lindsay asked.
Sammy was shocked about the whole thing "Oh, no. Never. But uh, can I have a little bit of your hair if you die?
Lindsay looked slightly offended. "I don't think so." she said with a disapproving look which Sammy sighed. "Oh sorry, if you want a little I guess so."
Sammy quickly got defensive "No it's just not that. I haven't made many friends here and I have like no friends back home so I was just trying to bond with you."
"You have your sister and her ex boyfriend Amanda and Topper." Lindsay said
"It's Amy and Topher actually, that's the thing though. My sister treats me horribly like I am a servant and I don't know how to get out of her shadow. Back home she's the pretty one." Sammy explained
"Aren't you both identical, hence you're both the pretty one? She doesn't have that ugly mole on her face too." Lindsay told Sammy, making her smile. "Also what about Topher right?"
"Right, promise to keep a secret." Sammy asked Lindsay up there and Lindsay nodded. "I've always kind of had a thing for him, the thing is that with Amy breathing down my neck I know she would stop me from ever dating anyone. You won't tell anyone right?"
"My lips are sealed. But we should probably jump down" Lindsay noted and both jumped and landed on the horse..
Confessional: Sammy
"That felt so nice to just let someone know how I felt. Lindsay seems so nice."
Confessional: Lindsay
"Uh oh. This is bad. I am like 195 percent sure Beth likes Topper given the way she looks at him, it's how I look at Tyler after all. Now Sammy likes him as well and he just got out of a relationship. I am gonna keep my mouth shut, but I just don't want anyone to get hurt. Ugh, even when I am not getting into a relationship I am still involved in people's love lives"
Back to Challenge
Chris looked at Jay and Beth "Okay you two are up, Both of you need to score in order to secure the Grips their second straight victory. One of you does it we go to a tiebreaker and if neither do it your team loses. So no pressure."
"I'm uh not sure I can do this. Oh gosh." Jay said scared.
"Look, just climb first and I'll be right behind you if you slip, I promise" Beth reassured.
"Um, uh okay." Jay said and sure enough the next scene showed both of them at the top. Beth then giggled looking out at the whole thing. "What's so funny?" Jay asked.
"It's just, I don't know if you saw the first season but the first challenge involved jumping off a cliff and I was freaked out about the whole thing. But your friend Cody, he helped me jump and now I am not scared. Maybe I should be but I am not." Beth explained with a huge smile
Jay still looked uncertain "It's just I don't if I can do this. I could also be allergic to the horse down there."
"But if you don't do it you could be voted out and I overheard you and Cody talking the other day and I know you're enjoying your time here, and I enjoy having you here Jay"
"I enjoy being here too, it's just, I…" Jay said, beginning to trail off.
"I'll go on ahead." Beth said, jumping off the platform landing on the horse screaming the whole way down.
Jay still looked uncertain standing on top and kept pacing back and forth "If I jump, I could get seriously hurt not to mention who knows if I am allergic to that horse. But if I don't jump I would let everyone down especially my family and my friends like Cody and Beth." Jay took a huge deep breath "Well I lived a good life." Sure enough Jay screamed going all the way down and landed on the horse, opening his eyes in shock "Awesome!" he yelled out in disbelief
"Jay scores the 8th point which means congratulations Killer Grips you guys have won your second challenge in a row which means Screaming Gaffers one of the 10 of you is about to be the 6th person eliminated from Total Drama Action. Now go shower everyone stinks!" Chris instructed as everyone began to walk off.
Jay however then ran straight for the bathrooms once Chris was done.
Confessional: Jay
"Wow I did not think I had it in me to do it. That was really sweet of Beth to give me that motivation. She's such a good friend to me"
Confessional: Leshawna
"Drat we lost. Homegirl is not ready to leave. I think Harold and I have Jen and Brick on our side. But I know that's not enough and yes I scored for the team but it might not be enough long-term"
Barrel Tub
Harold was taking a his time in the barrel with Duncan right by, along with Courtney, Leshawna, Jay, Lightning, Lindsay, Topher, and DJ in line as well
Lindsay spoke up in anger "Hurry up, Harold! My hair is sweaty due to all the heat!"
Lightning also spoke up "Yeah, the Lightning have to go pee real bad! Uh, of course, I'd never go in the barrel. That is just inhumane, Okay, I would if it was a last resort" which got Courtney and Topher to glare at him.
Duncan had enough and decided to shake Harold out of the tub where Harold got soap in his eyes and was embarrassed.
Confessional: Leshawna
"I know Harold wants to be underestimated but I'd like one good reason why that punk haired skull shirted wannabe keeps picking on poor Harold! I wanna knock him senseless."
Confessional: Duncan
"You wanna know why I pick on Harold? Here's a hint. She's about yee tall, has beautiful brown hair, and could tear you limb from limb. No it's not a bear. It's Courtney. Harold got Courtney booted last season. He ruined my game to keep freaking Tyler around and got rid of Courtney, he and Leshawna both. Yep. Payback's a bitch."
Real Time
Courtney overheard that from the confessional and gasped at what she overheard from Duncan
Confessional: Courtney
"He really feels that way for me. I don't know, it's just. He broke my heart once, who's to say he won't do it again. I could test him tonight with a certain target."
Outside Bathrooms
Katie was walking up to a wet Trent "Why didn't you wash in a barrel like the rest of us?"
"I already made a fool of myself today by hurting you accidentally."
"Trent, can we talk?" Katie asked
"About?"
"Did you want to throw the challenge today? Something seemed off with you." Katie said, looking down.
"No of course not, I would never throw a challenge for you. Promise" Trent said knowing full well he was lying and with a hint of nerve
"Awe, that's great." Katie said hugging him while Trent looked at the camera trying to shush them in a motion.
Confessional: Trent
"Before you start glaring at me, Canada I want to clarify something….. I panicked okay she was just staring at me and if I would have let her know Katie would have been crushed. I could lose my girlfriend out here. Besides, as long as she believes me, I could keep doing it and be her prince charming."
Real Time
The camera panned to show Sadie overhearing the conversation and walking away. She was about to go into the girls trailer when Duncan caught up to her. "Yo, Sadie"
"Hey Duncan what's up? Where's the rest of the uh team?" Sadie asked, looking around.
"About that, there's no easy way to tell you this. You're going home." Duncan said, looking away.
"What? I know I felt sick earlier and missed a point but why me?"
"Look I don't want you to leave but my hands are tied in this."
"No they're not, we can flip the target to someone else."
"Sorry Sadie, I uh, this isn't my call, it's Courtney's"
Flashback
The flashback showed Duncan getting out of the makeup confessional and that was when Courtney approached him. "We need to talk."
"About what exactly?"
"I overheard you in the confessional just now asking why you pick on Harold?"
"You did? Oh boy" Duncan said nervously, backing away.
"Look I know you want to get rid of Harold or Leshawna tonight but I talked to the rest of the team and it sounds like the people that failed the jump are the ones on the chopping block." Courtney explained.
"So that leaves us with Sadie, DJ, and Brick in which case we get rid of Brick" Duncan said.
"No, we're getting rid of Sadie tonight."
"What? No we're not."
"Yes we are."
"No we aren't, she is loyal to us." Duncan tried to explain.
"No she's loyal to you, not me, I know she will get rid of me in a heartbeat it's why she did it in the first place last season, if you want to prove that Sadie means nothing to you in a romantic sense, you have to let her go and then maybe, MAYBE I will give you a second chance. But whether you like it or not she is leaving with or without your vote."
"What? The rest of the team is also voting her out?" Duncan asked.
"Well I am, I talked to Leshawna and her and Harold seem on board, as do Jen and Brick so best you can hope for is a tie but given how badly Sadie burned DJ last season he is probably voting her out in which case that's six Duncan and she is out."
Duncan looked around before realizing what that meant and ultimately sighed "Okay"
End Flashback
Duncan continued on "Unless there's something you know that can save you right now Sadie you're going home tonight."
Sadie looked around unsure completely.
Confessional: Sadie
"I could have exposed Katie in that moment that she has suspicions of Trent throwing challenges and that she could be in on it too, that would cause enough confusion and chaos and let me survive another week."
Present Time
"No, I don't have anything." Sadie said looking down.
Confessional: Sadie
"But I decided at that moment to keep my mouth shut. It's not fair to Katie for me to ruin her shot when she did nothing wrong today. Besides, look at me, I have no hair, and I look humiliating. It's not worth the stress of the game staying here scraping by when realistically I know I won't win until I change everything around.
Present Time
Sadie was looking down dejectedly when Duncan decided to go against his better judgment and gave Sadie a hug "It's okay Sadie, everything will work out."
"I hope so. I hope I can get this hair back, I am so ashamed of everything I did." Sadie said sobbing
Confessional: Duncan
"Look I love Courtney, but Sadie is someone who I went through hell and back with last season. I don't like her like that but seeing someone you consider a friend so broke did genuinely tear at me more than I want to admit. But make no mistake I am not soft"
Elimination Ceremony
The Gaffers were all seated on the booth voting when Chris walked up. The votes have been cast! If you get a Gilded Chris, it means you're safe. For now." Chris announced sternly
Chef then walked up in a huge old fashioned red dress, shocking everyone present. "Why are you wearing a dress?"
"Tyler and Cody told me I should wear it and to tell you your person who is supposed to give you caviar and your massages is no longer doing that."
"WHAT!?" Chris yelled out as the camera panned to Cody, Tyler, Lindsay and Jay over by the Craft Service tent hearing Chris yelling out with the former two laughing a lot at the prank they pulled off.
"We got him!" Cody said, barely containing his laughter.
"Is their caviar and massage person actually gone?" Jay asked.
"Nah, we just told Chef that, to get Chris rattled, he will probably find out the truth later tonight." Tyler explained.
"Ooh I could go for a massage right now" Lindsay said.
Back to Award Ceremony
"Anyways, Gilded Chris go to Jen, Duncan, Harold, Katie, Courtney, Dawn, DJ, and Leshawna all with zero votes."
"I got one?" Leshawna asked.
"Yes you did, now Sadie and Brick please step forward the vote tonight was pretty straightforward and was in fact unanimous. The Final Gilded Chris goes to…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
… Brick! Which means Sadie you have been officially eliminated from Total Drama Action, please pack up your bags and head out"
"Okay, fine. Good luck Gaffers, good luck Katie" Sadie yelled out walking away stunning Katie.
"The remaining 9 of you are safe for now but you may want to start winning challenges sooner than later as the Grips are so far kicking your butts.
Confessional: Katie
"Sadie called out to me. After everything that happened I figured she wouldn't. I know we talked the first night but we fell right back out of touch. Truth be told I don't know what to think"
Confessional: Duncan
"Something about Sadie saying she didn't have anything to tell me before she left feels off. Like she hid something from me and that there is something going on that I don't know about. I trusted my gut a lot of times last season and it got me far and my gut is telling me something is off."
Final Words: Sadie
"I should be sad to be out this early, but the truth is that I am just spent. I look ugly, the spark I had to play the game has died down so much and I need some "me" time to figure everything out. I just need to. I have been so focused on this game last season that coming back I had no fight left in me. Good luck to Katie and Duncan especially. Hopefully he's right and maybe there's someone out there for me. But for now I wanna focus on making sure I look pretty again on the inside and outside and getting away from society once this show is over might be the ticket.
Author Notes:
So Sadie is out in 20th place. I don't know how shocking this is, but the Heather wanting hair storyline in canon TDA felt tedious and imo Heather lasts way too long in Action since she is not that relevant plot wise that season. Since Sadie like Heather in canon, got her head shaved right at the end of last season that was at best gonna be her story and since I scrapped that I was left with the aftermath of her and Duncan's story last season which was never meant to carry a whole season especially with all these new storylines and characters so I decided that Duncan and Sadie storyline would be one of the first to end. Once that storyline was done in the last chapter I knew Sadie's time was up. Especially because her and Katie's storyline will reach its conclusion in Season 3. Whether that is as contestants or just in the aftermath I have not yet decided. But with that story not until Season 3 and the fact my Trent storyline isn't done and Katie is busy with that, it left no more room for Sadie to go. Also Duncan voting Sadie out was to help with his arc.
Other notes: Sammy liking Topher plot. This episode I wanted to finally give Sammy a focus as up until this point she has been very under the radar until now and start her storyline which is well this and start an unintentional love triangle with Beth with Lindsay aware of both of them.
Leshawna and Jen's friendship. This is gonna be important later on but I love their dynamic as well writing it. Also on that note Harold and his mad skills, I did not want to just have him doing stupid shit to keep impressing Leshawna since they are already together in this fic I was told, but I did want to keep him doing that stuff so I gave him some motivation and reasoning to his actions that could have him doing it.
Trent throwing storyline. So obviously in canon Trent leaves this episode but I am gonna do more with this story and hopefully not as critically panned as canon but stay tuned.
Next episode will be the first aftermath with Gwen and Noah hosting along with commentary from the people who did not make it to the first season in Owen, Heather, Justin, Eva, and Ezekiel. Also interviews with Staci, Bridgette, Izzy, Tom, and Sadie. Now the aftermath episodes will be in script format to make them go out quicker. That and Aftermath episodes won't have much if any impact on the season happening and is meant as more of a cool down chapter.
On that note look for this next chapter to be out probably after 4th of July. I hope to have it asap but it will be somewhat difficult to write I will say. Until next time, if you are reading this I hope you are having a good day, and please leave a review, fav and/or follow. Bye!
