Total Drama Action (Complicated Chaos)
Chapter 12: Full Metal Drama
Recap
Chris:, "Last week on Total Drama Action, our competitors took it on the chin as they faced an all-you-can-eat buffet of deadly natural disasters. On the Grips Lightning faced a full on jaw hit when Chef broke his jaw with his manifesto. Elsewhere Topher and Sammy both confessed their feelings about the other in confessional but not yet to each other, but Sammy gave Topher the encouragement to tell Beth they would be just friends, while Amy admitted she found Lightning tolerable. On the Gaffers, both Brick and Leshawna both faced some hot water when Brick was outed for his trying to kiss Jen to everyone, while for Leshawna it was liar liar her pants were on fire, fortunately for her, Harold came to her rescue and helped secure everyone in the casts lives and the Gaffers immunity. While for the Grips they were spared an elimination ceremony when we deemed Lightning to be way too injured overall to continue thus sending him home. However the drama continued when Topher told Beth and Jay about his crush on Sammy separately. For Jay it was after he confirmed his crush on Beth to the cameras and both guys agreed to help each other out, with Topher wanting to boost Jay's confidence, while for Beth she began to think of how she can eliminate Sammy so Topher would be most loyal to her, even if she says it is not out of jealousy. Sounds tough? Get used to it! Because this week, it's all out war! It's a desperate battle for survival on Total. Drama. Action!

[Whistling, end Theme Song]
Right Outside Bathrooms
(Shows Gaffers sans Jen entering the bathroom area only to discover one toilet is available with Leshawna first in line followed by Duncan, Harold, Katie, and lastly Courtney)
Courtney: "Seriously, only one bathroom works? This show with the budget of a ham sandwich doesn't even have a plunger."
Leshawna: "I know and I would be crazy myself to give up this primo spot. Crazy with niceness! Duncan, honey, you take it."
Duncan: "Yeah no, I see right through your little act. As far as I am concerned you aren't even a teammate."
Leshawna: "As far as I am concerned you need a breath mint or some mouthwash."
Duncan: "Whatever, you still lied to us, using your fake tears."
Leshawna: "I don't see why everyone is pissed at me when Brick previously tried to kiss Jen even though she didn't want to."
Duncan: "Trust me, I am mad at him as well, but you played me, he didn't."
Leshawna: "I did no such thing. Look whatever, Harold, will you take my spot in line?"
Harold: "You don't need to tell me twice."
Duncan: "Suck up."
Harold: "Um no, first thing, Leshawna is my girlfriend, second of all I would do anything for her, and three quite frankly I need this stall to think." (slams door shut very loudly)
Duncan: "What's gotten into geekwad?"
Courtney: "Beats me."
Chef: (enters with weird green drink) "Make way coming through!"
Courtney: "Chef what's going on, why are you here?"
Chef: "Unfortunately due to my illegal alliance with DJ, I am on punishment, so part of that is giving you kids this drink, 1 part fruit, 9 parts bran. If anybody wants it, if not we give it to the interns"
Courtney: "That doesn't even sound like food. Sounds gross"
Katie: "Doesn't matter (grabs it from Chef) I have been starving half to death since DJ left." (gulps it)
Chef: "She is gonna feel that sooner than later."
(Leshawna nods)
Katie: "Oh my gosh! Who knew liquid bran could be so tasty? Even on the return trip."
Confessional: Harold
"Truth be told, I needed to be in the bathroom stall for some privacy first of all and second of all to re-examine what to do next. Leshawna is still not letting go of this Brick grudge she has, and I need to find a way to get them working together, or at least not voting each other out. Who knows how Jen feels? My game is falling apart. Yes I am safe, but I am not letting this second chance go to waste. Duncan and Courtney are very openly against Leshawna and I am so annoyed she can't see past personal grudges, when this doesn't even affect her it affects Jen. I will always love the lusciousness that is Leshawna but right now I just, gosh!"
Confessional: Courtney
"Look it's pretty simple, Leshawna screwed over the team for the reward so she should go next. Luckily I know that since she keeps dragging Brick's name out there so he will vote her out, and I know Duncan will do whatever I say. On the flipside I doubt Harold would ever consider voting her out, and as much as I hate that moron for costing my chances last season, trying to convince him to vote Leshawna out is a waste of time and space. Unfortunately I doubt Jen will vote for her either since she also took part in that spa reward and that would make her look like a hypocrite. Which leaves me with Katie. (Sarcastic) Yay."
Girls Trailer
(Jen was applying makeup while Beth was walking around nervously)
Jen: (to Beth) "Girl, are you okay?"
Beth: "Ugh, just nervous for this challenge. Horror, disaster, like I am shocked they are really making us go all out. Hey, I have a question."
Jen: "Sure, what's up?"
Beth: "Well because I am thinking of doing something game wise that may have repercussions but I am unsure of what to do?"
Jen: "Is it something you want to do, I've always said if I put my mind to something I can and will achieve it. Even though now I realize trying to achieve that goal was a huge mistake."
Beth: "Yeah you're right. I should totally go with my gut instinct and do it. Thanks Jen (runs out)
Jen: (to herself) "Why did I ever trust that camo wearing—- AAH! Makeup smudge."
Confessional: Jen
"I imagine all Beth was talking about was either asking Jay out since all of us on the Gaffers assume she and him will be a couple someday or ask Lindsay something with makeup, also yay the smudge is gone."
Confessional: Beth
"Jen is right, I should go with my gut and my gut tells me I should get rid of Sammy."
Start of Challenge
Chris: "Today, we're all about war movies, so… look lively, you…"
Chef: Buckets of horse doo-doo!
Chris: "So, get ready for the first death-defying challenge, you…"
Chef: "Disgusting, slimy crustaceans!"
Chris: "Move it, privates! Fall in!"
Everyone: "Sir, yes, sir!"
Confessional: Duncan
"I've always wanted to be a Marine. They're rough, tough, they wear rad boots, and they say "Hoo-ah!" No clue what that means, but it just sounds so cool. Hoo-ah!"
Confessional: Brick
"It's nice to have a challenge I could be an asset in I guess. Gosh my mind is still focused on how I screwed up with Jen. I betrayed my code, I betrayed my best friend. It makes me wonder at times if it is even worth staying here."
Back to Scene
(Grips had left while Gaffers stayed behind)
Harold: "I'm so pumped! My squad in Battlefront has won ten online multiplayer gaming titles. The secret to our success? Teamwork."
Duncan: "This is the real world, virtual loser. You wanna win? Sit back and let me get my Marine on. I'm the main course, the rest of you are gravy. As in, on the side."
Katie: "What about Brick, he is training in the army, a cadet and all that?"
Duncan: "Fine he can be co-leader on this team with me, we are the two strongest guys on the team."
Harold: "You won't be saying that when I bust out my deadly numb-yo. No longer must we live in fear of ninja attacks. Not when I'm carrying this bad boy. I will defeat all enemies. And smite them with dishonor" (hits himself in the unmentionables) "Ow, son of a bitch!"
Courtney: (laughing) "Okay that was worth seeing today."
Duncan: "Harold just took a numb-yo in the numb-yos! What a loser!" (walks away along with the rest of the team sans Brick and Harold)
Brick: "You okay soldier?"
Harold (High pitched at first): "I'm fine. (Stands up) Shouldn't you be planning with Duncan on how to do this challenge?"
Brick: "Sir, first of all, we don't even know what the challenge is, and second of all my heart is just not in the game anymore."
Harold: "I assume this has to deal with the whole Jen situation?"
Brick: (sighs) "Yes, I don't know what to do."
Harold: "Look just tell me straight up what happened, unless it is so ridiculous that it is made up, I will believe you no matter what?"
Brick: "Wait seriously? You will believe in me?"
Harold: "Duh. ever since forming this alliance between us, Leshawna and Jen, you have been a really great friend for me to confide in."
Brick: (hugs Harold) "Thank you! (gets off of Harold) Look what happened was during the medical challenge when Chris went to get the reward I in the heat of the moment tried to kiss Jen twice, it's just I thought my life was in danger and one of my closest friends in Jen saved me and was such a hero. I wasn't in the right state of mind. But I never told anyone, so I do not know how in the hell Lindsay knew or how Tyler knew. I never talked to either of them. What is worse is that I knew she had a boyfriend and I still did it, betraying my code, betraying Jen. (sighs) I just want out of the game."
Harold: "No"
Brick: "What? What'd you say?"
Harold: "No, there is no way in hell I am letting you leave this game Brick."
Brick: "But Harold-"
Harold: "But nothing. Look, just talk to Jen and explain yourself."
Brick: "You and I both know she will never talk to me or at least not right now. Look if you can save me in this game I will be shocked, I am not gonna quit but good luck trying to save me, but if you do you have my undying loyalty."
Harold: "I'll talk to her sometime to make it better than, maybe not today but I promise I will make this right if I can."
Brick: "Thanks."
Confessional: Harold
"So yeah I believe Brick, I genuinely think Tyler just luckily guessed that he tried to kiss Jen because it doesn't make sense for Brick and Tyler to talk and Brick doesn't come across as the kind of guy to just spill stuff like that. It's just so annoying that my two closest allies in Leshawna and Brick made such huge errors."
Confessional: Brick
"Harold is right that I should stay in the game, but I just don't see how I can stay."
Jumping Out of Plane Part
Chris: "Okay, people! Remove your blindfolds! When it comes to making a war movie, jumping out of an airplane is the most dangerous stunt there is. So naturally, it's our first challenge"
Courtney: "This is crazy, are you insane!"
Chris: "Nope just love the ratings"
(meanwhile with Beth and Lindsay)
Lindsay: "If we live, I was thinking I should totally be our team's admiral!"
Beth: "Admirals are in charge of sailors! Generals are in charge of soldiers, generally!"
Lindsay: "But admiral sounds cuter! So now I'd like to be called "Admiral Lindsay, Her Hotness", okay?"
Beth: "Okay fine. (Jay walks over to sit next to them) Oh this is perfect, two of my closest friends here."
Jay: "Yeah Beth I was wondering-"
Beth: "Hold that thought Jay, now that you are both here, I would like to propose an idea here. Would you guys be down to get rid of Sammy?"
Lindsay: "Huh?"
Jay: "What? No. She's nice, and I mean is she really that much of a threat?"
Lindsay: "Yeah, and I figured the whole team sans Geoff wanted Amy out, I know I do. She has had it out for me since we have been on this team together."
Beth: "Right, but Sammy is our weakest link."
Jay: "Is she? I mean her and Amy are identical twins so I imagine their strengths are similar and I much prefer her company over Amy's"
Lindsay: "Look let's just all talk after the challenge, but at the end of the day I like and trust Sammy more than Amy" (Beth gets up and leaves)
Jay: "I don't know what has gotten into her today to want Sammy out? Doesn't make any sense."
Lindsay: "I know. I was thinking maybe we get rid of Sammy after Amy and maybe Geoff but Amy has to go next for all our sake."
Jay: "Agreed."
Confessional: Jay
"I have to think me and Lindsay telling Beth we aren't voting Sammy out next will make her back off this crazy idea. Seriously, I watched last season when Beth unnecessarily tried to make a huge move to take Heather out of the game and it backfired big time. But more importantly maybe today is the day I ask Beth out"
Back to Scene
Chris:" Drop zone approaching! Form a line, it's time to party! Stunt people undergo weeks of training before they parachute! Luckily, we're gonna skip all that and get to the good part! Jumping!"
Harold: "Are you sure that's a good idea?!"
Chris: "What's the worst that could happen?!"
Sammy: "We die!"
Chris "Don't worry, you guys won't die. Trust me we don't wanna risk any lawsuits, my massage budget won't allow it."
Topher: "Shallow but respectable."
Chris: "I know speaking of which, Topher you can go first."
Topher: "Should have kept my mouth shut. Wish me luck (Jumps out and off screen) oh my hair!"
Sammy and Beth: "Coming Topher!" (both jump out at the same time causing a huge imbalance leading the plane off center)
(everyone falls out of the plane and it is revealed to be a set as Beth is shown smiling while everyone else looks frazzled and annoyed.)
Beth: "We're alive! Yay! So glad you are safe Topher."
Topher: (half heartedly) "Yeah, great."
Chris: "Let's roll, soldiers! Because the first part of this challenge is gonna blow your minds! And everything else within a fifty foot radius!"
First Part of The Challenge
Lindsay: "Are those… paint bombs?"
Amy: "No it's lip gloss."
Lindsay "Oh come on Amy, you and I both know that's not lip gloss."
Chris: We've divided the camp into two halves. Most creative and controlled splatter wins.
Duncan: "Talk about a challenge custom-made for me! I'm all over this!"
Courtney: "Shouldn't we also have Brick help out?"
Duncan: "Nah princess, watch and learn." (everyone on the team sans Harold and Leshawna leaves)
Leshawna: "I am shocked baby, I figured you would have given some big chemical reason for why you should do this challenge?"
Harold: "Believe me, I wanted to so badly. But I would rather just let Duncan take control, and if he crashes and burns we get rid of him and if he succeeds we win the challenge."
Leshawna: "Or we get rid of Brick for messing with our girl Jen!"
Harold: "(sighs)"
Leshawna: "You still don't want to, do you baby?"
Harold: "Truth be told, I don't and I do not get why you are letting Duncan and Courtney be spared when they made it abundantly clear they are never working with us and at the next chance they get they are sending you home, not Brick, you Leshawna."
Leshawna: "I am sure I can convince them that Brick is the bigger liability for the team."
Harold: "Gosh! That's not gonna work, look, talk to you later, let's just focus on this challenge."
Confessional: Leshawna
"I really don't get Harold's frustration about me trying to get rid of Brick. We will still have the numbers with Jen and I presume Katie, and no one messes with Jen, besides Harold she is my closest ally here."
Confessional: Harold
(frustrated sigh)
With Grips
Lindsay (in her admiral uniform): "Okay, minions! Admiral Lindsay, Her Hotness is about to tell you how this is going to work. [aside, to Beth] How is this going to work?"
Beth: "What we need to do is lay the explosives in a wide, interlocking pattern to ensure maximum paint coverage!"
Lindsay: "What an excellent plan I came up with!"
Jay: "Actually Beth came up with it."
Beth: "Thanks Jay! Let's get started. (looks around) Where is the rest of the team?"
Jay: "Topher went to make sure his hair was okay, and (looks around) Oh! Amy and Geoff are on the hammock there" (Lindsay walks over to them while Jay and Beth begin to talk) "Actually Beth I really appreciate you being out here and helping me make it this far in the game, Beth there is no easy way to say this-"
Beth: "Hold that thought" (runs off)
Lindsay: "Admiral Lindsay decrees that you will both get up and work on this challenge!"
Amy: "Yeah and sailor Amy declares she is gonna sit by and let the rest of you do this challenge."
Geoff: "Not to mention I am so exhausted from the warmup challenge" (Lindsay and Beth flips both off the hammock) "What the hell was that for?"
Beth: "Come on guys we need to win this challenge, the last challenge we won was what, the western challenge? Seriously, we need to win something for once."
Amy: "Maybe if you didn't flip us over and treat us like servants maybe we would try a bit more."
Geoff: "Okay guys, this is getting way too heated. Let's all just calm down."
Chris: "Time's up! Uh-oh, looks like you didn't even get started."
Sammy: (off screen) "Not so fast, Topher and I got a little thing going here."
Beth: "Ugh."
Confessional: Beth
"Great, how am I supposed to get rid of Sammy when she is actually doing decently in the challenge? I assure you it is just because she is a weak link, yeah that's it."
Confessional: Sammy
"I am not an explosive type of person but no one else on my team was doing anything so I decided to try and take some initiative once in this game, and it was nice to just hang out with Topher during a challenge."
Results of First Challenge
Chris: "Gaffers, are we ready?"
Duncan: "Time for a little punk rock!"
Chris: "Who says vandalism doesn't pay?"
Harold: "Much as it pains me to say so, you did well, Duncan."
Duncan: "Yeah, no kidding. This is my world you're living in, dork boy."
Harold: "You know Duncan, you could actually be a team player and show some damn respect."
Duncan: "Maybe you could shut your useless pie hole Harold! You got Courtney booted last season for freaking Tyler, so as far as I am concerned, I don't have to listen to anything you tell me.."
Harold: "Oh and like you are so innocent, you cheated on Courtney for freaking Sadie last season."
Duncan: "Yeah a decision I regret every day, because Courtney drives me crazy and I want her back more than anything, and I would do anything to prove that."
Courtney: (gasps quietly)
Harold; "You know what, I don't care. I am taking charge of the next part of this challenge."
Duncan: "Yeah Harold, I am the demolition expert, not you. So step off if you know what's good for you. Until then fuck off, go be with your liar of a girlfriend and stay away."
Chris: (awkwardly) "Okay, let's see how the Grips did. Are you guys ready to blow it up?
Sammy: "Best we can do, (shows a heart saying underneath love myself underneath) so what do you guys think?"
Amy: "If it didn't have you doing it, I would love it a bit more."
Lindsay: "Awe Sammy it is so cute I must say."
Jay: "Yeah that is so cool."
Beth: (half heartedly) "Yeah that is so great."
Chris: "Unfortunately you guys didn't have enough explosives detonated compared to the Gaffers so the Gaffers win the first part of the challenge."
Katie: "Yay!"
Chris: "It is my honor to present your prize. The big trunk of mind-blowing secrets! You'll be defending it with your very lives. We had one for each team but since the Grips lost the first part they won't get what's inside theirs until the end of the season."
Break in Challenge
(Geoff is sitting under a palm tree exhausted)
Katie (walks up): "Oh, you don't look so good."
Chef: I got what you need right here, Geoff. A tasty bran smoothie for your behind."
Geoff: "My system is not backed up, I am just exhausted is all."
Katie: "I'll take it, Chef." (stomach rumbles afterwards)
Geoff: "That sounds like when Owen tried 92 chili dogs at the losers lounge last season when Trent dared him, don't you remember Katie?"
Katie: "Yeah, it wasn't pretty, but I'll be fine (stomach rumbles) heh, I hope."
Start of Final Challenge
Chris: "Contestants, get ready to begin your next and final war challenge. It's a giant game of Capture the Flag! Except in this case, the flag is the Trunk of Mind-Blowing Secrets! There's only one way to learn what's in the trunk, and that's to win the challenge. As your reward, we'll give you immunity from tonight's vote and for the Gaffers each of you get a reward from said trunk."
Courtney: "Don't we at least get something to defend the trunk?"
Chris: "Well our set decoration team wanted to build you guys a towering castle full of defensive possibilities. But they went to see a movie instead, so… we're gonna give you this! I think it's a tool shed. (crashes) Was a tool shed. Good luck. (leaves)
Courtney: (sarcastically) "Great."
Leshawna: "How are we gonna defend this big ol' trunk with no fort?"
Harold: "We'll put our heads together and come up with a group plan."
Duncan: "You do whatever you want. I'm gonna go set some booby traps so the other team gets tripped up."
Harold: "Heh, Duncan said booby."
Courtney: "Grow up."
Jen: "I will go help Duncan." (leaves to help Duncan)
Harold: (shows back up with shovels) "In first World War movies, they always have underground hiding places. Foxholes."
Leshawna: "If I'm digging, we're gonna have to call it a foxy-hole."
Katie: "Nice touch Leshawna. (stomach rumbles again) hurry up, I think the bran shakes are coming back to bite me sooner than later."
(Brick, Katie, Leshawna, and Courtney start digging)
Harold: "Jen, Duncan, the rest of the team is digging, we could use everyone helping out."
Jen: "I am not talking with or being near Brick in the near future."
Harold: "But-"
Duncan: "Shut up Harold once and for all. I will do my own thing and I am helping the team out my own way so back off."
Confessional: Harold
"This is why I want Duncan out. I give my all in every challenge day in and day out. Yet Duncan will never have any respect for me. He and I will never ever get along. He has to go next time we lose. I will make damn sure of that."
Confessional: Duncan
"Even if Harold did not send Courtney out so early last season, I would still bicker with Harold. He and I just do not get along. Mainly because he is such a dork. He is not my main target but oh my gosh I want Harold to just shut the hell up."
With Grips
Beth: "What is going on Admiral Lindsay?"
Lindsay: "Well, Duncan and Jen sorta disappeared. And the rest of them are digging a hole for some weird reason."
Jay: "They are probably making a hole for the trunk."
Amy: "Thank you, captain obvious."
Beth: "I recommend we attack immediately."
Lindsay: "Team, Admiral Lindsay, Her Hotness says it's time we attack!"
Jay: (looks over to Topher who mouths 'make her feel heard') "Great idea Beth and Lindsay!"
Lindsay: "Alright team time to attack!" (everyone sans Lindsay heads down there.) "I'll be waiting when you're done."
Battlefield
(everyone rushes down until they don't see anyone there)
Sammy: "Wait, that's odd."
Beth: "Yeah I just saw them."
Jay: "They couldn't have gotten far."
(meanwhile underneath ground for the Gaffers)
Katie: (stomach rumbles) "Oh no."
Leshawna: [hushed] "Katie is bloating up like a pufferfish and when it blows."
Courtney: [hushed] "Leshawna, Katie is not, absolutely not farting in here! Not only will it be disgusting, the sound will give us away."
Katie: [hushed] "Oh, but there's an air baby in there and it wants to be born! (stomach rumbles again)"
Brick: "Get a chair stat!"
Courtney: "Hush little baby, don't you cry, if you do we will die."
Katie: "Guys, I am sorry for having the shakes, I didn't know having that much in fruit and bran would make all this happen."
Harold: "It's fine, as long as you keep it in." (A huge fart causes Harold to cough.)
Courtney: "Shit."
Sammy: (looks over to see Harold reaching out for air) "There they are."
Geoff: "Attack." (all the Grips get trapped in a net as Duncan and Jen come down to surprise them with Jen showing her gymnastic skills which also show Brick looking in awe)
Jen: "1,2,3!"
Duncan" "Now!" (cuts the rope and sends the Grips back to their home base) "Great job Jen."
Jen: "Thanks Duncan, let's check on the rest of the team."
Grips Base
Lindsay: (walks up to her teammates in pain) "What happened here? How are you guys back already?"
Jay: "Duncan and Jen set up a trap and we ran right into it. I am gonna need a second to decompress."
Sammy: "Same here, can we take 5 minutes before we attack again, I am still in a state of shock?"
Lindsay: (sighs) "Fine, 10 minutes then we will try another attack."
Topher: "Good, because my hair is all screwed up." (soon everyone sans Amy and Geoff remain as everyone else walk away)
Amy: "Great, we're probably gonna lose and I still haven't come up with a way to make sure we both stay safe. The five of them are tight and there is no way to crack that."
Confessional: Amy
"Ever since Trent left, I have been trying to figure out how to break apart that group of Samey, Jay, Beth, Topher, and Lindsay. I thought maybe laying low would help me out but I am pretty sure I am still. They still look at me as a target and it's all because Lindsay has made sure to stay leader of the team."
Back to Scene
Geoff: "We actually have one shot at this where we can both stay safe Amy."
Amy: "Are you delusional? We need two people to overthrow and those 5 are tight."
Geoff: "Not necessarily. Do you remember earlier today during the plane challenge before we all 'jumped' out?"
Amy: "Yeah what about it? I saw you talking with Beth."
Geoff: "She'd be willing to flip to get rid of your sister Sammy."
(flashback to the plane)
Beth: "Hey Geoff."
Geoff: "Hey Beth, how's it going?"
Beth: "Good, a little freaked out about the challenge."
Geoff: "Understandable, I have never jumped out of a plane but it seems exciting."
Beth: "Okay, I do have a question, if we lose, who would you want to see go home?"
Geoff: "I mean, I haven't thought that far ahead. But I would keep you safe if I could."
Beth: "Would you be okay with eliminating Sammy?"
Geoff: "I wow, I never thought to target her."
Beth: "Well I know most of the team is after you and Amy next but I think you are much stronger to keep around then Sammy."
Confessional: Geoff
"I have been trying to lay low and just have a good time with this game. I just wanted to chill on this second chance. But the realization that me or Amy could be the next to leave is making me want to play this game hard. I will still have a good time, but if there's an opportunity to keep Amy and I around I will not hesitate to take it."
Gaffers Underground Shelter
(Duncan and Jen run in) Duncan: "What's going on here?"
Jen: "You guys look sick."
Courtney: "I'm trying not to puke is all."
Leshawna: Y'all, I really think it might be over now. Katie is looking much–
[Katie farts]
Courtney: "Ugh! I am out!"
Leshawna: "Ugh! Same here. If anyone needs me I am gonna be in the girls trailer trying not to puke" (both leave)
Duncan: (smells in disgust) [hushed] "It smells like blue cheese in here!"
Katie: "I'm so sorry. I feel like I really let the team down."
Duncan: [hushed] "You think? Harold, what have you been doing all this time?"
Harold: [hushed] "Trying to keep the team together, no thanks to you. Or Miss Toxic Emissions here."
Katie: [hushed] "Be mad at Chef, he made the stupid smoothies."
Jen: [hushed] "To be fair you chose to have them."
Duncan: [hushed] "Ugh, you can't do anything right! You're an idiot! Everyone on this team is a moron!"
Harold: [hushed] "At least I'm here. At least I'm trying. What kind of lousy Marine leaves his squad all alone?"
Brick: [hushed] "Dude, we gotta get out of here."
Jen: [hushed] "Please we need to leave now before things get deadly here."
Harold: [hushed] "Not until Duncan says we're a team."
Duncan: [hushed] "Who cares when we're gonna die of toxic butt poisoning?"
Harold: "Also say you value my contributions."
[Katie's stomach rumbles]
Harold: "That ominous warning usually means a really bad one is coming."
Jen: "Wait, there are worse ones?"
Duncan: [hushed] "Okay fine. You're not a complete loser, okay? I value the small portion of you that isn't a loser. Can we go now?"
Harold: [hushed] "Anything you want teammate, Brick, Jen, get the trunk."
Brick: [hushed] "Sir yes sir."
Final Part of Challenge
(Brick and Jen carry Katie along with the trunk out with Harold and Duncan leading the group while the Grips sans Lindsay charge down the hill again) Duncan: Six of them, five of us.
Katie: "Ow, my stomach."
Duncan: "Okay, make that four of us. I don't like these odds."
Harold: "Well, we do have a secret weapon.
Duncan: "Your numb-yo?" (Brick is shown thinking)
Brick: "Wait soldiers I have an idea. Everyone help me turn Katie around."
Jen: "Oh no she isn't."
Duncan: "Oh she is about to blow."
Brick: "3,2,1. Fire!" (Brick turns Katie and the trunk around as a weapon)
[punches landing in huge fart cloud]
(Grips are shown passed out)
Duncan: "What can I say, we did a good job, teammates we all did a great job."
Harold: The team did good. We won!"
Jen: "Honestly great idea Brick!"
Brick: (blushing) "Thanks Jen."
Chris: "Time's up! The Gaffers have defended the chest, putting them in the winner's circle. That means the Grips will be sending home one of their own tonight. Now, it's time to reveal to the winners what is inside this trunk! Here's what you were fighting for, team."
Harold: (opens up) "No way."
(in the trunk was Harold's nunchucks, a letter addressed to Brick, Duncan's pet tarantula Scruffy, a yellow top in Jen's size, a picture of Leshawna's family, a picture of Courtney, and a picture of Katie and Sadie from childhood)
Chris: "That's right, in the trunk is a memento from home for each of you. Meant to help you as we near the halfway point."
Brick: "Oh my gosh!"
Jen: "Duncan, Harold, go get Courtney and Leshawna this is amazing."
Duncan: "Fine but no one better touch my pet Scruffy."
Harold: "Or my nunchucks."
(with Duncan and Harold)
Duncan: "Look, I just want to say sorry."
Harold: "Are you being genuine or just trying to cut the awkward tension?"
Duncan: "A bit of both?"
Harold: "Fair, look it's clear our personalities will never mesh well together at all."
Duncan: "That's an understatement if I ever heard it. Look I expect you to still target me given our conflict."
Harold; "I'd be shocked if you weren't after me as well, look can we agree that whichever of us leaves first the other person won't be a complete dick on the way out."
Duncan: "I can agree to that."
Harold: "Make no mistake, I am still after you."
Duncan: "Same here."
Leshawna: (walks out of the bathroom): "Harold, Duncan what's up?"
Harold: "We won the challenge and we got a sick reward."
Leshawna: "What is it?"
Duncan: "Come along, it is amazing and get Courtney."
Leshawna: "Yo Courtney, Duncan is saying we got a legit reward for this challenge, get out here."
Confessional: Courtney
(shows picture) "When I was head of the school debating team, my partner walked out on me during the biggest debate of the year because she felt I wasn't being a 'team player.' I went on to win it without her. Take that, Britney Reed! This photo is a reminder: If you want something done right, you do it yourself!"
Confessional: Duncan
"This is Scruffy, my pet tarantula. That does remind me I need to get my baseball bat for when I sleep. As for my talk with Harold, look I don't like the nerd at all. But I have some level of begrudging respect for him. The dude gives his all in the challenges. Even if him thinking the num yo would do anything was stupid. The plan is still Leshawna, but Harold has my respect."
Confessional: Katie
"I guess I helped the team win. Does feel like the smoothies are starting to not take effect anymore and look I got a picture from my childhood. (shows the picture of a 4 year old Katie and Sadie) "This was Sadie and I's first day of preschool when our friendship formed. I really don't know if we will stay friends after all that went down and how Sadie acted last season, but this picture is a good motivator for me to keep going in this game."
Confessional: Leshawna
"This picture of my family is what I need. Having my game fall apart due to that spa reward hasn't put me in the best place mentally but this will help."
Confessional: Jen
"This yellow top is one of my most prized possessions. I always wear it when I am shopping online, or for very special events. As for today, it was nice to win the challenge since tensions are so high on this team. As for Brick, look it's just, I thought I could trust him. Besides Rock my boyfriend, he is one of the first people I have ever trusted and now it feels like that trust was misplaced."
Confessional: Brick
"What I got was a letter from home from my mom. She and I are very close as I always write home to her back at the academy. She wrote, (tears up) she wrote that her and my Dad are proud of me. That I should follow my heart and my gut, and do whatever makes me happy. (takes a deep breath) It's weird between Harold's pep talk and helping my team win the challenge. Today has given me a pep I needed to keep fighting in this game. Look, I still regret trying to kiss Jen and I will regret that forever. But I still have a chance at a million dollars and no matter how this show goes, I do want Jen in my life. I just don't think she will ever feel the same way."
Right Outside Craft Services Tent
(Amy and Beth were talking)
Amy: "So you are truthfully willing to cut Samey tonight?"
Beth: "Yes, she is the weakest on the team and I feel like if she doesn't leave now, she can win this whole thing."
Amy: "That's fine and dandy and all that but there is a slight problem."
Beth: "What?"
Amy: "There are only three of us if we include Geoff."
Beth: "Don't worry, I got a plan. She is leaving tonight. Everyone has to take risks tonight, and tonight I am going too" (Beth walks away)
Confessional: Amy
"Beth is making this way more complicated than I would like it to be. But it does sound like none of Topher, Jay, or Lindsay are willing to send Samey home tonight. I have no choice but to go along with it as it otherwise means I am out the door. I really hope Beth saves me here, because if not I am out. Make no mistake though I will sell Beth out in a heartbeat if I deem it so after tonight. Beth may save me tonight, but she also gave me the rope to turn people against her."
Gilded Chris Ceremony
Chris: "This one's a nail biter. I'd say no one's safe tonight. Lindsay. How do you feel about your chances?"
Lindsay: "Let's face it, Chris. It was my lousy Admiraling that cost us the challenge. If I go home tonight, I won't blame anyone. Except Beth.
Beth: "Why me?!"
Lindsay: "I have to blame someone. Also I am just kidding Beth, you are my best friend"
Chris: "Then there is Amy, you were left outside of the vote last time when your team sent Trent home behind your back then Lightning was pulled from the game, do you feel like it is your turn to be eliminated given your downward momentum."
Amy: "Trust me Chris, I think I will be staying tonight. That and I will be here for a long time."
Lindsay: "Yeah we'll see about that."
Chris; "All right votes have been tabulated, safe with zero votes Lindsay, Jay, Beth, and Topher."
Sammy: "I got votes tonight?"
Chris: "Yes you did Sammy. Safe with 2 votes is Geoff."
Geoff: "Woohoo! Yeah!"
Jay: (whispering over to Topher) "You voted for him right?"
Topher: "Yeah I did, I thought the rest of the team did too? What's going on?"
Chris: "The final Gilded Chris goes too
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
…..
….. Amy!"
Topher: "What? No."
Lindsay: "This can't be possible, Sammy, Jay, Beth, Topher and I all voted for Amy."
Jay: "Wait, that's not true Beth told Topher and I five minutes ago, that you and Sammy were voting for Geoff, and that even Amy would vote Geoff off, it should have been a unanimous Geoff boot."
Sammy: "Then how did I get the boot?"
Amy: "Do you wanna explain yourself, ….. Beth!"
Beth: "Uh, um."
Jay: [to Beth] "Wait you seriously wanted Sammy out then why did you tell Topher and I that the vote was for Geoff if you vote for Sammy anyway? I am so confused."
Beth: "Well, I uh….."
Amy: "Here let me explain this from what I know and Geoff please correct me if I am wrong."
Geoff: "Will do."
Beth: "….. Do we have to?"
Topher: "Honestly, yes because this is making no sense."
Amy: "Okay so from what I understand earlier today Beth here approached you Lindsay and you Jay about taking Sammy out, am I right?"
Lindsay: "Yes."
Jay: "Yeah Beth approached Lindsay and I during the plane challenge about voting Sammy out, but both of us told her no and then Beth talked to Geoff but we thought nothing of it."
Amy: "Okay and Geoff can concur that Beth proposed getting rid of Samey to him."
Geoff: "Yep and Beth told me the reason why she wanted to get rid of Sammy was because Beth is jealous of Sammy's friendship with Topher."
Jay, Lindsay, Sammy, and Topher: "What?"
Chris: "Wow what a way to close tonight off, but we are running short on time so Sammy time to go as you have been officially eliminated from Total Drama Action."
Sammy: (sighs) "Yep. Good luck guys. It was nice getting to know all of you guys. Beth, if my friendship with Topher made you vote me out, then I am sorry for being friends with Topher."
Topher: (walks over to Sammy) "You have nothing to be sorry for, You did nothing wrong. I consider you a friend, a really good one at that. Damn it, I wish we had more time. (kisses Sammy on the cheek) Bye Sammy."
Sammy: "Bye, well still sorry Beth. See you later." (Walks off into Lame-O-Sine)
Chris; "What an elimination, clearly there is stuff that needs to be talked out so I will head out." (leaves scene)
Confessional: Geoff
"So yeah dudes. I wanted to wait around to drop this little bomb on everyone. Did Beth tell me she is jealous of Samey? Nope. But anybody can tell that Beth likes Topher and that Sammy probably does as well so might as well cause a bit more chaos so Amy and I can skate by. But what happened next even shocked me.
Back to Scene
Topher: (turns to Beth) "You know if you had such a problem with Sammy you should have told me. Because I told you how I felt about her in confidence because I thought I could trust you."
Beth: "But…..but you can trust me."
Topher: "How, how can I trust you when you get rid of the girl I liked before I could ever tell her how I feel? I thought that maybe Beth you would be okay with the two of us just being friends, but it is bluntly clear that after this little stunt you pulled tonight, we aren't even friends. Because a true friend would never pull something like that. Just leave me alone" (walks to trailers)
Beth: "Topher…..wait." (tries to approach him but is stopped by Amy)
Amy: "You know Beth playing with boys' emotions is such a Heather or Sadie thing to do. Didn't think you had it in you. You made this bed now you have to lie in it. Hope this confirms to you that Topher doesn't like you like that and it was worth it. Well I am going to bed."
Geoff: "Same here" (both leave)
Beth: "…..Topher, I, (notices Jay walking up to her) Oh hey Jay sorry about this whole thing. I just feel so bad I hurt Topher most of all as I do like him, what do-"
Jay: (sighs) "I can't believe I didn't see this from the beginning, I denied it, I should have just gone with my gut. You never had my best interest in mind or wanted to get to know me or cared for me did you Beth. It was all about Topher. Let me tell you something right now Beth, Sammy and Topher both like each other romantically and Topher doesn't look at you that way and that's how their story ends. Why does everyone else see it but you? I am going into the trailer to get some sleep, good night." (leaves scene)
Beth: "Lindsay, I …..….. I am so sorry." (Lindsay hugs her)
Lindsay: "We'll make it through this, I promise. I'm here for you."
Confessional: Lindsay
"Beth is my best friend and watching all that go down just felt mean. I don't know what the future holds in this game, but I do want Beth to still be here with me."
Confessional: Amy
"Wow, that went better than I expected. Geoff and I talked about revealing Beth's jealousy since she didn't have to say anything for us to both know she was doing this move out of jealousy. Now Sammy is gone, Jay and Topher are against Beth, and for the first time in a long time, I am back in a good position. All it took was Beth sabotaging her own game for a pointless big move. Again."
Confessional: Topher
"I knew that Beth had some sort of crush on me. But for her to team up with Amy to take out Sammy, the girl I liked and told Beth I liked in confidence thinking Beth would be a good friend to support me is just the worst. I never expected her to act out of jealousy. At this point in the game with Sammy gone, I don't care. My loyalty is to me and one million dollars. Beth you may not know it but you unleashed a killer in terms of this game and I will not hesitate to betray anyone anymore, including you if need be."
Confessional: Jay
"Fuck! Okay wow I did not expect to swear there (chuckles) no, I am so pissed right now. Nine times out of ten I am a complete and total gentleman. But right now I am so angry. I knew I should have seen the signs that Beth only liked Topher, I never had a chance. Beth lied to me about Geoff being the vote. That's what hurts the most. I didn't know Sammy that well so her getting eliminated is pretty much whatever. No, what hurts is that Beth actively lied to me tonight literally minutes before the vote saying to send Geoff out. (turns to the side) Did you guys even get Beth asking me and Topher about the vote? Oh wow you guys didn't. Wow! (turns back to camera) No it just hurts that Beth asked me to vote Sammy off, I told her no and instead of listening to me she went behind my back and then lied to me, then went after Topher. I guess on the bright side I did find my voice a little bit standing up to Beth. But at what cost?"
Confessional: Beth
…..….. I regret it so much. Voting Sammy out led to this. But what's really bugging me is what Jay said. He said that he should have gone with his gut and that I didn't care for him. It just hurts to see him and Topher so hurt by what I did. But it hurts to hear that Jay felt I played him. I don't know how to make this right. But I will try.….. If given another chance that is."
Final Words: Sammy
(sighs) "I don't even know how to process what went down. I feel partly guilty if Beth felt threatened or jealous of me as that was never my intention with her at all. In a weird way I am honored that someone felt threatened by me because I never saw that happening ever in my life. Judging by Topher kissing me on the cheek it's clear he at least liked me a little so there's that which is so cool. As for my sister Amy, maybe I should have spoken up more but I figured I would just lay low and no one would notice me but I figured she would always have me in her sights to take out, although I voted for her so she did what was best for her so I can't be too mad. Topher noticed me and I can't wait to see where things go with him after this. Good luck to all my teammates and thank you Total Drama Action for giving me a chance when most others wouldn't."
Author Notes:
So I don't know how controversial it is to eliminate Sammy as I never had her in the merge as her storyline was her and Topher getting together-ish and nothing else (her and Amy's dynamic will be explored in World Tour). Her elimination was meant to kind of mark the end of the first half of the game and a big controversial elimination as well. But I never had a ton planned for Sammy. But I definitely wanted to hint towards Beth being jealous as a storypoint (Lindsay not telling Beth about Sammy liking Topher, Beth focusing so much attention on Topher) which ultimately leads to Sammy's elimination as she is kind of just caught in the crossfire.
Next chapter is the Aftermath where I will add my own twist on stuff and where we get to hear from Noah and Gwen as hosts along with Trent, DJ, Dawn, Lightning and Sammy. Obviously it will be a lot different from canon but it should be a nice breather.
After that we get the Final 13 episode where I will delve more into the aftermath of the Sammy vote as this elimination really marks the end of the first half of the story in a way and the ramifications of this vote are huge, we will also have the heist movie challenge and another shocking elimination.
Until next time, please leave a review, favorite, follow this story it means a lot to me.
