Total Drama Action (Complicated Chaos)

Chapter 14: Ocean's Eight or Nine

Recap

Chis: "Last time on Total Drama Action… this might take a while. We learned that war movies are brutal! At first, our contestants were flying high except for Beth who on the fake plane decided to approach Jay and Lindsay about taking Sammy out which neither wanted while Jay keeping in mind Topher's words of encouragement spent part of the day trying to confess to Beth how he feels which Beth paid no attention to. Tensions soon rose within the Grips, when they couldn't capture the footlocker to win the challenge, despite the inspiring leadership of Admiral Lindsay, Her Hotness as the Gaffers won using Katie's gas and the trunk to win the challenge getting mementos from home stunning all of them. During the challenge Geoff revealed Beth also approached her about voting Sammy out giving Amy a glimmer of hope after Lightning was out the previous challenge. But while the Gaffers technically won that battle, you have to wonder if they lost the war because their biggest conflict is still with each other as Duncan and Courtney are still against Leshawna, while Harold tries in vain to keep the team together but he at least convinced Brick to stay and fight. In the end, Beth managed too, without the cameras even being able to capture it last second for Jay and Topher to burn votes on Geoff leaving to a plurality sending Sammy home in one of the most vicious blindsides Total Drama has seen. While Topher wasn't able to fully express his secret love for Sammy before she left, he gave Beth a piece of his mind ending their friendship on his end, and while Jay was annoyed that Sammy left when Beth still said she liked Topher after that Jay finally had enough and told Beth point blank that Topher didn't see her like that and revealed in confessional Beth actively lying to him is what hurt him the most. Was it time for Sammy to go? Uh, yeah! That girl wasn't giving much exciting television leading up to her leaving, but her elimination led to such an explosive aftermath! You keep coming back for the explosive drama, I keep coming back for the perks. Car chase this week! And with only thirteen contestants left, the engines are ready as another one will be eliminated tonight. It's time for some more Total. Drama. Action!"

[Whistling, end Theme Song]

Craft Services Tent

Duncan: (carving something on the table with his pet Scruffy next to him until Courtney glares at him) "What's your problem princess?"

Courtney: "You are acting like a total vandal not to mention that (points at Scruffy)

Duncan: "Well at least my gift wasn't just a simple picture."

Courtney: "Mine holds a lot of value for me."

Leshawna: "Guys, We have to all stop acting like babies or every one of us is going home."

Duncan: "Why, so you can fake cry and steal a reward from all of us."

Confessional: Harold

"Ever since the disaster challenge, when it was revealed that Brick tried to kiss Jen, and Leshawna fake cried to get the spa reward, it has caused this team to hate each other more than we already do. The gifts from home were nice and made things peaceful for a day but gosh. Not to mention Leshawna is still trying to appeal to Duncan and Courtney. If there is somehow a way I can get Leshawna and Jen back on board I am gonna try my best too as I doubt this winning streak we are on will last."

Back to Scene

Courtney: "Come on, Duncan. What Leshawna did is for the best. Nobody needs a day at the spa-like she does. In fact, you could write a tell-all book about her hairdo called "Weave Got Problems", a potential best seller."

Jen: "Low blow, really low blow."

Courtney: "Oh please you were also part of the spa reward and her best friend, of course you are gonna defend her."

Jen: "Whatever, you know you can target Leshawna without being mean about it."

Leshawna: "You know what I don't need this, I am gonna go back to the trailers." (stands up and walks away)

Duncan: "Try not to let the door hit your fat ass on the way out!"

Courtney: "Door? It's a tent, Duncan"

Duncan: "Uh, it's a figure of speech?"

Harold: "What you could've said was, "Don't let the flap fluttery–"

Courtney and Duncan: "Shut up, Harold."

Leshawna: "Brick is gonna pay, they just need to realize he is the bad apple on the team. Leshawna's revenge is gonna be (gets bag over head, knocked out and dragged off)"

Meanwhile at the Grips table

Beth: "I feel so lucky to still be here." (silence)

Lindsay: "Right, I do too."

Jay and Topher: (glares at Beth)

Confessional: Amy

"Ever since Beth got rid of Samey things have been so awkward for the Grips. Couldn't be happier about it myself. Keeps me and Geoff safe and puts me in the decision making role and with my sister gone I don't care who leaves next."

Confessional: Topher

(sighs) "I tried to be friends with Beth, I wanted to be friends with her. But she ruined it for me when she took Sammy out and lied to me to do so. I am not one to opt for revenge but being left out of the last vote does make me want to get even with Beth. Until then I am not speaking to her. On the bright side this has given a chance to bond with Jay, turns out he is a pretty cool guy."

Confessional: Jay

"It's not Beth voting out Sammy. It's her lying to me and actively doing so, that is why I won't talk to her right now. Maybe I will eventually but right now I am still taking Topher's advice and am trying to show more confidence overall with him helping me out on that front and knowing he doesn't like Beth helps me see him in a different light."

Back to Scene

Beth: "Come on guys, we need to be motivated. We are down to just six of us while the Gaffers are at 7 and we haven't won a challenge since the Western."

Topher: "Maybe if you didn't get rid of Sammy last time maybe we would feel more united."

Geoff: "Come on guys we don't need tension the day before a challenge."

Lindsay: "Right guys we are fighters and winners."

Jay: (half heartedly) "Yay!"

Amy: "Come on guys, let's not be mean to Beth she made an easy target for next time we lose."

Beth: "You know what Amy, I was willing to give you a break but you are a bitch like so many other people think."

Geoff: "Hey!"

Amy: "I mean you could have voted for me last time but instead you voted for my pathetic sister. Clearly you don't have a problem with me that much."

Beth: "Yeah I am going back to the trailers."

Amy: "Buh bye, don't let the door hit you back at the trailer."

Geoff: "Come on Amy, back off."

Amy: "She called me a bitch as far as I am concerned I can say what I want."

Beth: (to herself just outside the tent) "Stupid Amy, should have sent her packing hey (muffled grunt)"

Start of Challenge

Chris (enters on roof of the tent) "Hello contestants."

Katie: "Okay, that was a cool entrance."

Chris: "Consider it a hint as to this week's movie genre!"

Duncan: "Is it lame-o, rock-climbing, wannabe host movies?"

Chris: "No. First of all, do you see a rock wall?

Duncan: "Nope."

Chris: "I thought so, so shut up. This week, we're paying tribute to the action-packed bank heist gangster caper film!"

Confessional: Jen

"Okay the bank heist movies are one of my favorites. The fashion choices the bank heists make are usually really cool and the getaway cars are also very cool."

Back to Scene

Harold: "Chris we are missing a player."

Courtney: "Not that I care."

Harold: "Shove it."

Lindsay: "Oh right we are missing Beth?"

Amy: "Does anyone care though?"

Lindsay: "I do, she is my best friend."

Chris: "Leshawna and Beth are gone. Because rescuing them is the first part of your challenge."

Lindsay: (gasps) "I can't believe you guys would kidnap Beth. You are a monster."

Chris: "I know it's wonderful. Anyways back to my prisoners…"

Jen: "Okay can you not refer to Leshawna or Beth as that either?"

Chris: "Okay fine your teammates are in a safe set along with all the tools each team will need to commit a movie perfect bank robbery. Your job is to crack the safes, rescue your teammates, grab the equipment, and try to be the first ones to rob the First National Bank of Chris. Meet you at the set robbers."

Inside Gaffers Safe

Leshawna: "As bad as being in this safe is, it still beats being with my teammates. No one will listen to me about taking Brick out next mainly because Duncan and Courtney feel entitled to the spa day. Like they would have done anything different."

Inside Grips Safe

Beth: "Well at least being alone in this safe will give me time to truly process what I did a couple nights ago. Look, maybe I should have seen the ramifications of sending Sammy home. But how could I have known that Topher and Jay would hate that move so much."

First Part of Challenge

Harold: (tries to open safe) "Damn it. The numbers aren't speaking to me."

Courtney: "Let me do it!"

Harold: "Were you the captain of Picky Steve's Lock Picking Camp? Huh? No."

Courtney: "No but I am a CIT."

Harold; "Gosh! Being a counselor in training, which keep in mind you are in training so you aren't even a full blown counselor yet has nothing to do with picking a lock so back off."

(Harold and Courtney start slap fighting while Duncan and Katie look annoyed at them)

Duncan: "Ugh this challenge is so stupid."

Katie: "Yeah agreed, well Brick is at least giving a go at it." (shows Brick trying and failing to open the safe)

Duncan: "Katie now that it's just the two of us talking have you thought at all about who we should eliminate next if we lose a challenge as we are probably overdue at this point."

Katie: "Oh my gosh, I know. Well I have to assume it's between Brick and Leshawna for who to leave next, what are your thoughts?"

Duncan: "Well Brick seems to be feeling depressed ever since trying to kiss Jen so I was thinking maybe we get rid of Leshawna?"

Katie: "I would rather get rid of Brick, but if the votes are there to send Leshawna out I'd be willing. Who would be the votes anyway?"

Duncan: "You, me, Courtney, and Brick should do it. Leshawna has thrown Brick's name out the last week on who she wants to vote out so I have to think they would both go against each other. No splitting votes."

Katie: "Should we get Jen or Harold on our side to make it unanimous?"

Duncan: "Don't bother, last challenge Harold and I agreed to not be absolute asshats to each other but no way in hell he votes off Leshawna and Jen is practically Leshawna's best friend here."

Confessional: Duncan

"So while Harold and Courtney were fighting and Brick tried to open the safe I decided to approach Katie to vote Leshawna out. I am hoping she sees that taking Leshawna out is the move. Katie is shockingly smarter than I thought as I figured she was just a vapid idiot."

Confessional: Katie

"It stinks to potentially vote Leshawna out as I do really like her. But this is a game, and maybe taking Leshawna out is the move, the merge has to be coming soon and maybe losing Leshawna will leave the team more united."

Meanwhile with the Grips

Lindsay: "Do you think it's like cracking an egg?"

Amy: "No Lindsay. Gosh, how dumb are you?"

Lindsay: "I am not dumb."

Amy: "Well you are certainly no Einstein that's for damn sure. It's an expression. "Crack open". As in, we need to find the combo."

Lindsay: "Oh. My junior high locker combination! It didn't change the whole three years I was in grade eight, so it must be standard! Oh, well, that's just bad school spirit!"

Amy: "You are completely useless."

Lindsay: "Beth's right you are a bitch."

Amy: "You take that back."

Topher: "Okay, that's it! if you two are just gonna keep on bickering then get away from the safe and let someone else take it because I am not dealing with you two bickering."

Confessional: Topher

"Amy and Lindsay's bickering and constant squabbles are genuinely exhausting. Seriously this whole team is enough to cause a migraine. Fucking hell. Seriously if I hadn't just found a friend in Jay I would possibly self evict or throw myself off the cliff, whichever is able to get me out of here faster."

Gaffers Safe

Jen: "Guys, shouldn't we be thinking of stuff Chris would have as the safe combination?"

Courtney: "Good idea Jen. Here let me try his birthday?" (fails)

Harold: "Wrong!"

Courtney: "Shut up Harold. I don't even get why we are even trying to rescue her, it's Leshawna as far as I am concerned she did the crime of stealing my spa day so she should do the time."

Duncan: "Yeah I don't need a bunch of stupid prop equipment to rob a bank.

Katie: "Then what exactly are we waiting for? Chris probably doesn't have the best bank robbing set anyway. Sorry Leshawna, it's for the good of the team." (Katie, Courtney, and Duncan run off)

Brick: "We can't just leave Leshawna, she is our teammate. No soldier left behind"

Harold: "Wait! Go on with them, I have an idea. Just trust me" (Brick nods his head and leaves)

Jen: (walks into shot) ""Ugh I'm back. (looks around) Wait, where's the rest of the team Harold?"

Harold: "They left us where were you?"

Jen: "Trying to find an alternative entrance into the safe across the set, no such luck? Wait (looks at the vent) there's an entrance!"

Harold: "That's great except I don't think either of us can comfortably fit in there and aren't you at least a little claustrophobic?"

Jen: "I am but I at least have an idea. If we can pry it open, maybe at best we can at least communicate with Leshawna.

Harold: "To be fair neither of us are that strong."

Jen: "True, but it's a start. (both her and Harold are shown holding one end of the vent) Okay on the count of 3. 1….2…..3!"

(vent opens)

Harold: "Hey Leshawna can you hear me?"

Leshawna (off screen): "Harold, Harold baby is that you?"

Harold: "Yes Leshawna, it's me."

Jen: "I'm here too."

Leshawna (off screen): "Aw great what about the rest of the team?"

Jen: "Uh, they left."

Leshawna: "Can either of you fit through the vents?"

Harold:: "Would be no good look hang tough Leshawna I am gonna keep trying different combinations. Jen keeps Leshawna company."

Confessional: Harold

"Once Courtney and Duncan admitted they wanted to leave Leshawna by herself I knew this would be the perfect opportunity to have just me, Jen, and Leshawna alone together to talk of course I had to wait for the other team to finish."

Grips Safe

Amy: "I am telling you Lindsay we should leave Beth behind."

Lindsay: "It's not like any one of us are good bank robbers, we can't make it on our own."

Topher: "Guys…."

Amy: "At least some of us are too stupid to realize their closest ally would sell you up the river."

Jay: "Guys."

Lindsay: "Oh please I would never sell Beth up the river the way you use Geoff."

Geoff: "Whoa back off Lindsay."

Lindsay: "No I am not gonna back off because Amy is still not to be trusted."

Amy: "Beth isn't either, she doesn't even realize part of the reason people are mad at her is because she actively lied last round."

Jay and Topher: "Guys!"

Amy, Lindsay, and Geoff: "What?!"

Jay: "Topher and I opened the safe like 2 minutes ago."

Beth: (dejectedly walks out) "Thanks, part of me wishes I was still in there."

Topher: "Look, everyone just shut up, here's the bank robbing kit. Geoff you hold onto it." (hands it to Geoff)

Jay:: "Also, I am sorry, but I don't want to hear another word until we get to the freakin' bank set and I imagine Topher doesn't either."

Topher: "Yeah, I don't want to hear you guys bicker."

Amy: "Since when did Mr. Pathetic over here grow a spine?"

Jay: (gets up in Amy's face) "Since this whole team disintegrated last elimination, now shut the fuck up and let's rob a bank. There's a sentence I never thought I would say."

Lindsay: "Jay, Topher, you are such good safe crackers."

Jay: "Thanks Lindsay."

Amy: "Well Beth is still a liar" (bickering and exhaustion starts off screen)

Confessional: Amy

"I may take back what I said about it being great that this team is full of tension and chaos because who does Jay think he is? Getting in my face when he is a pathetic weakling. Seriously merge or something needs to come up because holy hell I hate everyone on my team sans Geoff."

Confessional: Jay

"Amy can shove it. I know my brother Mickey would be appalled at my behavior but to be blunt, I do not care anymore. Ever since Beth voted out Sammy it has been constant stress and migraines day in and day out on this team. Amy and Geoff are after Lindsay and Beth and all four just keep on bickering, if it wasn't for Topher I would probably swear a lot more and I don't want too"

Boys Trailer

(Duncan is shown working on a makeshift bank robbing set shown first cutting up a pair of socks with Katie and Courtney shown outside the trailer)

Brick: "Those are Harold's lucky socks! Or at least they were."

(Duncan makes a stick-up note)

Brick: You are seriously cutting up Harold's karate magazines for a stick-up note?

(Duncan has a thing of foot spray and deodorant)

Brick: "Not Harold's foot spray and deodorant! He needs those!"

Duncan: (sighs) "It's true. There are limits, look now that it's just the two of us here, you are still down to get rid of Leshawna next right?"

Brick: "Oh yeah definitely."

Duncan: "Good to hear, because I do think once she leaves this team can finally be united. Merge has to be coming sooner than later."

Courtney (off screen): "Are you guys done in there?"

Brick: "Almost ma'am. Look I agree, let's just talk after the challenge but you have my word I am keeping you safe and voting for Leshawna tonight. Also you are an evil genius."

Duncan: "Thank you."

Gaffers Safe

(Harold is shown trying to open the safe while Jen sits by the now open vent)

Leshawna: (off screen) "How's it coming Harold?"

Harold: "I've tried at least half the combinations, still nothing."

Jen: "I mean it wouldn't be the worst thing if we lost."

Leshawna: "I agree we can finally get rid of Brick."

Harold: (stops trying to unlock the safe) "Not this again."

Jen and Leshawna: "What?"

Harold: "Getting rid of Brick is a suicide mission for our games."

Leshawna: "How so Harold baby? He messed with our girl Jen."

Harold: "I talked to Brick and he-"

Jen: "You talked to him."

Harold: "Yes and he feels sorry about the whole trying to kiss you thing. Look what he told me was that he did try to kiss you twice but he never said a word about it to Lindsay or Tyler for that matter."

Leshawna: "Okay regardless, he still did it so Brick should pay and we have the numbers to vote him out."

Harold: "No we don't. Look when Courtney and I were fighting I overheard Duncan trying to persuade Katie to vote with him and Courtney to take you out Leshawna."

Jen: "Wait seriously, is it still over the spa reward stuff?"

Harold: "Probably, if all three of us vote for Brick and they get Katie on board to take you out Leshawna they have the numbers on the re-vote."

Jen: "Okay look, Leshawna let's just hear Brick out and go from there."

Harold: "Also to put it bluntly I am not voting Brick out tonight, we have all worked way too hard to have this group of four crumble. I do not trust Duncan and Courtney and yes Brick screwed up, but he is loyal to us, I promise you guys that."

Leshawna: "Okay fine I'll hear him out but I do think you are worrying over nothing here Harold."

Confessional: Jen

"Harold is right that if we vote off Brick we could be losing ourselves the game. But I just don't know how to feel about Brick."

Bank Set

(Katie, Duncan, Courtney, and Brick are shown walking up to the bank set)

Duncan: "Yoo-hoo? Anyone home? This is a robbery!"

Chris: "Welcome, Gaffers! You've beaten the Grips to the scene, so… you'll get first crack at the teller."

Katie: "How is that possible? They actually bothered with the bank robbing kit."

Courtney: "Not to mention Duncan and Brick took forever to get this equipment going."

Meanwhile with the Grips

(Topher and Jay were shown looking around feverishly while Amy, Beth and Lindsay argued)

Amy: "Another thing Lindsay, the way you dress is not some fashion statement."

Beth: "Lay off her."

Geoff: "Come on guys we should all get along. Besides, we do have a unanimous target regardless."

Beth: "Heh, funny Geoff."

Lindsay: "I never agreed to vote Beth off next." (camera pans over to Jay and Topher while the other 4 argue)

Jay: (to Topher) "This team is a mess. Where is the bank robbing kit?"

Topher: "I don't know. I swear we need a swap or merge or whatever."

Jay: "Agreed, Geoff had the bank robbing kit, should we ask him where he put it?"

Topher: "No, I don't trust him or really anybody on this team. That and all the bickering they are doing is gonna make me lose it again."

Jay: "Don't you trust me?"

Topher: "Yeah honestly at this point you are probably the most sane person on this team and I need to trust someone now that Sammy is gone."

Jay: "Great, look, I know we started the game pretty distant at first. But is there any way you and I can make a final 2 pact?"

Topher: "I'd be down, I just have one question where do things stand with you and Beth?"

Jay: "Look there's a small part of me that hopes things will work out. But she lied to me actively and played me, maybe there is something there. Look for now I wanna focus on the game, if feelings resurface for Beth I will let you know but right now I wanna focus on the challenge."

Topher: "Fair enough. Without Sammy here, I am most loyal to you. Do you think she also liked me back?"

Jay: "Maybe, where is the damn bag?"

Geoff: (snickers looking at Topher and Jay)

Confessional: Geoff

"So the fact of the matter is dudes Amy and I decided to try and sabotage our team and make us lose this challenge so I tossed the bank robbing kit in the trash while Amy, Beth, and Lindsay were arguing and Jay along with Topher were annoyed. Duncan and Courtney are both my friends on the other team and I want to bring all my allies together whenever there is a possible merge which has to be soon."

End of First Part of Challenge

Brick: "Afternoon, sir. That's a great outfit you got there. But right now, I'd like to focus on those hands of yours. I need them to start filling this pillowcase with cash. (aside) Why am I doing this and not Duncan?"

Tyler: "Anything else I can do for you today… Brick?"

Brick: "Wait what, what (passes out)"

Chris: "Looks like Brick's gone from cool as a cucumber to in a pickle. He can run — well, in this case, pass out — but he can't hide. Be right back folks."

After commercial break

(Both Grips and Gaffers are shown in the bank set with Amy glaring at Beth and Lindsay while Katie helps Brick to his feet)

Chris: "You okay Brick?"

Brick: "Sir yes sir."

Katie: "Wait, why'd you faint?"

Duncan: "Probably has to do with the fact the teller is Tyler, please tell me Tyler is not back in the game?"

Courtney: "Yeah that would be completely unfair."

Chris: "Don't worry. Tyler is just the teller for this challenge but Tyler insisted on being the teller. Mainly because he had something he wanted to say."

Tyler: "Thanks Chris, I just want to apologize to Brick. I love you Lindsay but she said I had a secret to hold which I didn't but I didn't want to let her down so I came up with something on the spot just heh turns out it was true which I had no idea about. I'm sorry."

Chris: "Okay now thanks Tyler. So, Tyler, since you were our bank teller in the challenge — great job, by the way — you get to decide which team deserves to win first prize. The bag of loot."

Tyler: "I was gonna have the Gaffers get it since they made it here first and as a way to pay Brick back for ruining his game accidentally, congratulations."

Brick: "Thank you so much."

Chris: "So, Grips, Gaffers, your getaway cars are waiting. Better get a move on before the cops arrive. That means go!"

Confessional: Brick

"It felt kind of nice to have my name cleared of what happened in a sense, I just wish that Harold, Jen or Leshawna were there to hear that as well."

Confessional: Topher

"Brick and I haven't talked for a while mainly because my team's a mess and I felt like being associated with him after the whole Jen thing happened would be bad. But now that Brick has been proven innocent, I might as well try and clear his name with Jen. That and to get my mind off this fragmented fucked up team other wise known as the Grips."

Before Second Part of Challenge

Harold: "Getaway cars are always cool! That's the rule of heist movies!"

Katie: "Aston Martins maybe?"

Lindsay: "Or those groovy Mini Coopers!"

Beth: "I'm hoping for a Porsche"

Topher: "Guys it's Chris he probably made it a go kart."

Amy: "Don't put that out in the universe."

Jay: "He already did."

(Most of the Grips and Gaffers are ahead while it shows Topher and Brick talking from behind)

Topher: "Well at least now I can talk to you since you are cleared in a way."

Brick: "In a way, it doesn't change the fact that I did try to kiss Jen."

Topher: "Look I will help you out in this mess as you are still my friend. Sorry for not talking to you lately,"

Brick: "It's fine, I assume a lot of this has to do with Sammy?"

Topher: (chuckles) "Yeah, get my mind off of her a bit by doing this, as well look I will tell you all that has gone down on my teams now that we are almost to the top of the hill."

Brick: (approaches his teammates) "What's all this stuff?"

Chris: "These are your getaway cars, just waiting to be assembled!"

Courtney: "That is so not hot. So annoying"

Chris: "If the vehicles were ready to go, it wouldn't be much of a challenge now, would it?"

Topher: "Chris has a point."

Chris: "See you crazy competitors at the finish line" (drives off screen and crashes car "Oh crap. Damn it Cody!"

Gaffers Safe

(Harold is trying to open the safe still while Jen sits by and Leshawna is pacing around the safe)

Jen: "How are you holding up in there Leshawna?"

Leshawna: "Did they leave me here on purpose all because of one teeny tiny mistake?"

Jen: "Yeah they did but Harold and I are still here."

Leshawna: "Right, but just okay, fine. Maybe it was a big mistake because here I am being left to rot until I'm nothing but a lifeless pile of bodacious beauty. What do these people want from me?!"

Jen: "Leshawna get a hold of yourself everything is fine!"

Leshawna: "Okay, so lying to win a reward is evil, my bad! There, I admit it! I did a lousy thing! Now how 'bout a little forgiveness? Guys? What do you say?"

Harold: (stops trying to open the safe) "That's it. Leshawna, why do you care so much about Duncan or Courtney forgiving you? Quite frankly I don't care about the spa reward or anything that you two did that day, you guys could have talked massive shit about me and I still won't care. I am dedicated to this four we made a couple weeks ago and why does it matter what those two think? Leshawna?"

Leshawna: "Yes baby?"

Harold: "Do you remember the promise we made to each other heading into this season?"

Leshawna: "That we were going to make sure we got our revenge on Duncan for taking us out last season, yeah I remember?"

Harold: "Yep. I am voting Duncan out tonight if we lose. If you guys want to keep letting Duncan have a second chance because he is a good guy overall then fine but I know Duncan and Courtney are after us."

Go-Kart Assembling

(Gaffers kart was almost all the way assembled)

Courtney: "I am not even that impressed. They're not even getaway cars! They're go-karts!"

Duncan: "Stop whining princess, and gimme the lugnuts."

Katie: "You're not bad at this."

Duncan: "It's just like stripping a car, except in reverse. (accidentally jams his hand in the vehicle) OW! Fuck!"

Brick: "Here Katie, make sure Duncan's hand is okay, I will help finish up."

Meanwhile with the Grips

(Amy was sorting stuff out while Geoff had an amused look on his face)

Amy: "Come on Geoff, we have a challenge to win."

Geoff: "Do we, I mean as long as Jay and Topher want Beth out, do we really need to try and win today, besides look!"

Amy: "Wait how in the hell?"

(scene transitions to Topher and Jay riding the set of wheels out of control while Beth and Lindsay run away)

Beth: "Guys just stop moving!"

Topher: "We can't!"

Jay: "We're out of control."

(Amy and Geoff look in shock while Topher and Jay both crash into Beth and Lindsay soon after destroying the wheels)

Amy: "Well there goes our tires."

Geoff: "Why and how were they riding the wheels?"

Confessional: Jay and Topher (split screen)

"I don't want to talk about it."

Back to Scene

Amy: "I mean the go karts are cheap enough we can do a makeshift one without tires and have us all carry it."

Geoff: "True. Here's hoping we (air quotes) win"

End of Challenge

(Gaffers kart shows Duncan driving with Brick next to him with Courtney on the end with Katie in the back)

Duncan: "Come on guys we have a challenge to win"

Courtney: "Hit the accelerator"

(The Gaffers soon hit a rack of clothes with Duncan weaning a baby top, Courtney wearing a clown nose, Katie wearing a top hat while Brick had a bra on)

Duncan and Courtney: "(Laughing)"

Brick: "Meh."

Confessional: Brick

"What? It is just a bra, and the support was nice. I have no shame."

Back to Scene

(soon a montage of Duncan hitting various movie backgrounds was shown with him, Courtney, Katie, and Brick screaming until an old man was shown)

All Gaffers: (Screaming and soon after the cart then stops hard when they crash into an old man)

Courtney: "Duncan why aren't we moving"

Duncan: "That old man damaged the engine."

Brick: (looks over) "That and we are all out of gas."

Duncan: "Great now how can it get any worse."

Katie: "Oh and my top hat is too big for my head."

Duncan: "Oh and Katie's hat is too big oh how can it get any worse?" (Duncan kicks the kart and it starts full of gas but goes in reverse and crashes off screen)

Courtney: "We can always push it, we won't be second place."

Meanwhile with the Grips (same as Canon with the improvised kart)

Amy: "Come on guys the teams aren't the Gaffers and the Slackers now mush! Mush!"

Beth: "Mush? We aren't sled dogs Amy!"

Amy: "Of course not, if you were Owen would probably try to eat you. Now let's hurry."

Topher: "No wait if we hurry up this whole thing is gonna fall apart we can't go any faster."

Jay: "Yeah I can barely keep up."

Amy: "Fine but if we lose it's you two on the chopping block."

Back with the Gaffers who are losing their lead

Brick: "This is hard!"

Courtney: "Try standing downwind of you without deodorant"

(Grips however past them and cross the finish line)

Chris: "That's the challenge for you. First off, I'd like to congratulate both teams for choosing to go green. But in the end, the Grips are the winners! That means I'll be seeing the Gaffers at tonight's Gilded Chris ceremony. Grips even though you committed the anything but perfect crime, you get to enjoy victory. However…"

Topher: "Huh"

Chris: "I still need the Grips at the elimination ceremony tonight as we have a little twist after the elimination ceremony. See everyone in a couple hours."

Confessional: Lindsay

"Could mean the merge. It'd be nice to be out of this team."

Right After The Challenge

Topher: (approaches Brick and Lindsay) "Brick come with me, Lindsay you too."

Lindsay: "Okay what's going on?"

Topher: "We need to get Brick's teammates since his team is going to the elimination ceremony and you are gonna help clear Brick's name with Jen after Tyler admitted he wasn't told anything by Brick here."

Lindsay: "Oh okay, do you want to Brick?"

Brick: "Of course."

Gaffers Safe

(Jen is still shown sitting by the safe while Harold keeps trying to open the safe)

Harold: "Seriously millions of combos to try and break a teammate out? Who thought this was a good idea?"

Jen: "I don't know, but I am so tired."

Topher: (comes on screen) "Well it's worse luck for you guys as you guys lost the challenge"

Harold: "Oh that's just great, what was the combination 1,2,3" (tries it and opens the safe) are you kidding me?"

Brick: (comes on screen with Lindsay) "Yeah we lost."

Jen: (shocked) "What are you doing here Brick?"

Topher: "Look Brick and Lindsay just want to talk to both of you, Leshawna and Jen if you'll let them"

Lindsay: "Yeah, what Tyler told me about Brick trying to kiss you he said to everyone today he made it up on the spot and he felt bad for how he made Brick look like the bad guy."

Topher: "Does anyone else have something to say?"

Jen: "Okay, look can everyone leave here except me and Brick he and I need to talk one on one. (everyone leaves) Hey."

Brick: "Hey."

Jen: "Do you wanna start?"

Brick: "(sighs) Look, yes I did try to kiss you, yes I do kind of have some type of crush on you because you are the first person I can be honest about my want to go to fashion school, it's impossible to explain, if you don't feel the same way I won't be hurt. I just want you to still be my friend, I know you have someone back at home. I did a stupid thing a week or so ago. It was a heat of the moment type of thing and it made things awkward between us and that was never my intention I promise. I was just an idiot, and please don't hate me."

Jen: "Are you done?"

Brick: "Yeah I think I said everything that was on my mind."

Jen: "Look, first of all I don't hate you, that's the first thing I wanna do. I also wanna apologize for not returning those feelings you share. I have a boyfriend at home. Second of all I have handled this whole thing really poorly as I have been avoiding you for the past week. Brick, I should have been upfront and honest once it happened. Brick, we are still friends as I trust you the most out of everyone here. We both need each other to stay sane here. We protect each other in this game."

Brick: "So everything is good between us?"

Jen: "Well it's gonna take a moment for me to get used to your attraction towards me."

Brick: "Thanks. Can I at least get a hug?"

Jen: "Of course but just a friendship hug." (both hug each other)

Brick: "See you at the vote tonight."

Jen: "See you. (walks up to Leshawna who doesn't look impressed) What?"

Leshawna: "Girl, you like him too."

Jen: "What, what are you talking about? I have a boyfriend back home."

Leshawna: "You do, but I see the way you look at Brick."

Jen: "Look, he and I are just friends, have you at least forgiven Brick after the whole thing."

Leshawna: "(hesitantly) Yes I have, I just don't want him to ever hurt your feelings girl."

Jen: "He won't I promise."

Leshawna: "I hope so."

Confessional: Jen

"I really don't feel that way towards Brick. He and I are just friends, it's just something I have to adjust to since I now know he likes me."

Right before Ceremony

(Brick walks out of Boys Trailer with Duncan waiting nearby)

Duncan: "Yo Brick!"

Brick: "Sir yes sir!"

Duncan: "You are still down to vote Leshawna out tonight, right?"

Brick: "Of course, she is leaving tonight. I promise on everything"

Duncan: "Great to hear." (leaves)

Brick: (sighs)

Confessional: Brick

"... I am sorry I am still thinking, is Leshawna going to vote me out tonight? If so I need to take her out, but. Ugh! I don't know. I don't know!"

Gilded Chris Ceremony

Chris: "Like always, Screaming Gaffers, one member of your team will not be receiving a coveted Gilded Chris made of the finest Belgian not like always, the Killer Grips are also here as well, why they are here is gonna be explained in due time. So now it's time to vote."

(montage of Gaffers voting)

Duncan: "Time for your lying behind to go home."

Courtney: "See you later you traitor."

Harold: "This should work, time for some long awaited revenge."

Jen: "Sorry, I can't send Leshawna home."

Katie: "This is for the good of the team."

Leshawna: "Please don't have me regret this decision."

Brick: "...I'm sorry."

Chris: "All right the results are in, safe with zero votes… Harold….Jen…Courtney…Katie

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

Brick"

Duncan: "Wait what?"

Courtney: "Don't worry we got both Brick and Katie to vote her out."

Chris: "The final award and the person who still has a shot at the million is

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

…

… Leshawna!"

Harold: "Yes!"

Duncan: "What! I'm out."

Courtney: "This is outrageous, (turns to Brick and Katie) WHO FLIPPED!?"

Katie: "I voted Leshawna out. I promise, it was for team unity"

Leshawna: "Wait you did? You seriously listened to Duncan."

Katie: (meekly) "Yes."

Duncan: "Okay, then Brick why did you flip on me, I had your back. You swore on everything that you were voting to keep me, you are a total snake."

Brick: "I…I…"

Chris: "Look, I would love for this drama to continue and blow up. But we have to get into why the Grips are here. Duncan as the person just eliminated we are giving you a special power to close things off before you leave."

Duncan: (Angrily) "Yeah what is it?"

Chris: "You get the opportunity to switch two people on their teams."

Everyone: (Gasps)

Duncan: "Wow!"

Chris: "Duncan, do you need a second to think this over?"

Duncan: "Nope I knew the moment you told me what it was what I was going to do."

Chris: "Okay do tell."

Duncan: "I have decided to have Amy and Courtney switch teams."

Courtney: "Wait what, Duncan I thought you cared for me."

Duncan: "I do, I do princess. Maybe you stand a better chance at the Grips, besides Brick, Harold, Leshawna, and Jen are all in an alliance they'll just take you out next. Yeah everyone here should know those four are most loyal to each other." (Harold and Leshawna look very nervous)

Brick: "We are not in an alliance, I promise."

Duncan: "Dude stop unnecessarily lying, you aren't good at it."

Chris: "Well Duncan you have been officially eliminated from Total Drama Action any final words?"

Duncan: "No, Courtney, can I talk to you before I have to leave."

Courtney: "Of course."

Confessional: Brick

"Voting Duncan out was hard as I never wanted to be put in the middle of a vote. I broke a promise and this was a very hard decision. I don't know if I trust Leshawna, but I trust Jen and Harold. They wouldn't play me for a fool if they weren't 100% committed to this group. I knew eventually I would have to side with Harold and Leshawna over Courtney and Duncan but it doesn't make the betrayal any easier, it also doesn't help that Courtney swapped teams so now she is gonna be here for a while."

Confessional: Katie

"Crap! I need to rethink everything. I was on the wrong side of the vote, and now I know that no matter what it's me or Amy leaving next as those four are tight as Duncan said. I can do this."

Confessional: Amy

"Honestly swapping teams isn't the worst thing ever. Duncan outing the four of those people as an alliance and being put on a team with them isn't ideal but I know I can make it through this."

Confessional: Jay

"Honestly not having Amy on the team might be what this team needs to get back to sanity. She was the center of a lot of drama, Gaffers you can have her I know I don't want her here anymore."

Walk of Shame

Duncan: "You're probably wondering why I sent you to the Grips as my last thing?"

Courtney: "Yeah, I don't get it."

Duncan: "Simple, the Grips were a mess and I know you can get them together before the merge because I want you to get revenge on all those people that voted me out. Specifically that liar Brick. Those four are working together."

Courtney: "Are you gonna say that you were right and that we should have kept Sadie all those weeks ago?"

Duncan: "Even if we should've done that. I don't regret it a lot because we didn't have any distractions these past few weeks together and I'll leave it up to you but if you want I am down to give this a shot. One more try, one last shot between us, maybe just as even friends. What do you say?"

Courtney: "I would like that (tightly hugs Duncan) I am gonna miss you so much. But rest assured I will get my revenge for you."

Duncan: "Promise?"

Courtney: "Of course. Bye Duncan!" (lets go of the hug as Duncan enters Lame-O-Sine) I'll miss you."

Confessional: Courtney

"With Duncan no longer here in this game, I feel really alone now. I feel back to square one. But I am not giving up as Duncan doesn't want that. Maybe being on the Grips will help. I have Geoff from last season as he did not vote me out and I can start from there. Don't count me out just yet, because Harold and Leshawna you may think you have me cornered in this game but I will not let Duncan down."

Final Words: Duncan

"I got to give Harold credit, I know he probably pulled this move off the most out of everyone. He told me he was after me and I paid the price. I hope switching Courtney off the Gaffers helps her out. There's no changing what I did last season, but hearing that she is giving me one last try made me feel a lot better. She will do well without me, I know it. As for Brick, he is total scum, Leshawna is a liar for the spa reward and I hope to see both of them sooner than later."

Author Notes:

So I imagine that me having Sammy leave last time was a shock. Having Duncan out here is probably jaw dropping since Duncan was one of the canon finalists on the actual show. But yeah Duncan was never meant to make the merge and was always going to be eliminated around here. His storylines were closing things with Sadie from what happened last season, his power struggle with Harold/Leshawna and finally his dynamic with Courtney. But it was always set up for Harold and Leshawna to get their revenge on Duncan for getting rid of them last season and having him leave first of Courtney, Harold, Duncan, and Leshawna. I also needed to make sure I had six on each team for the next challenge so it was always gonna be the Gaffers losing this chapter so all roads heading into this elimination lead to Duncan as I still have plot with all the Gaffers left (yes even Katie) and Duncan's was the one I could wrap up the most and logically eliminate.

As for the team swap, this will play a role in the last couple of eliminations before the merge as I wanted to put Courtney on the Grips near the tail end and I wanted Amy to swap teams given her dynamic from within the Grips was a bit stale as this elimination has massive ramifications as we near the merge.

Next chapter we see the fallout of the swap, Duncan outing the Gaffers main alliance, and another blindside is coming.
