Richard was standing in Iceland, looking around with a small frown "I know this island is a winter wasteland but I expected at least one nude beach…"
The host sighed before continuing "last time on Total Drama, our teams were down in Malta, and then had to get all the way up here, Iceland… in speed boats… yea I don't care how they got here either way. But, in the end, the Opposite Couple was sent packing thanks to their royal treatment. But now, here, in Iceland we're continuing the next phase off…"
The camera zoomed in to Richard "the Radickulous Race!"
Intro Plays
"Well, sadly. The Toxic Couple is up first" Richard sighed while standing near their team.
"You're just mad to see women winning" Hannah glared at him as Joshua and she walked forward.
"Yea, well, I like seeing attractive women do well" he frowned at her "but just run your butts to the closest bus stop. Your next leg of the race will be explained at the bus stop near a geyser field"
"Wanna mansplain geysers to me before we go? Because I'm starting to not like how you're talking to me" Hannah glared directly at him as she let Joshua start dragging her away to avoid them getting a disadvantage from the biased host.
Richard looked down at his watch before looking at the next six teams "well go on ahead you guys!" He smirked "I think they've had more than enough time"
The Psychics, Brains and Brawn, Psychic and Skeptic, Internet Losers, Polar Opposites, and Turtle School started running after Hanah and Joshua. Trying to keep their high rankings.
All of the groups ran into a nearby town, with Hannah and Joshua getting to a bus stop. Only for every other team to show up before they could even get on.
"What are you all doing here? Didn't we get a head start?" Hannah frowned.
"How do you know you didn't get a head start?" Arnold snobbily asked in turn.
"B-Because G-Guy is with you guys and h-he's not sweating" Joshua murmured with a frown.
"Richard let us go ahead" Dawn spoke softly "I'm sorry if that was likely unfair but it would be impossible to not take such an opportunity"
Hannah smiled softly at Dawn "don't worry. I know it wasn't your idea. Men just want to see us fail"
"H-hey I don't want to see girls specifically fa-" Jaime was cut off by Hannah's cold glare. He quickly shut himself up.
Soon enough, a bus came for the groups, with everyone pushing each other away to get in. Naturally, Hannah and her strong spirit managed to push through and get the front seats.
The rest of the teams quickly trickled in before the bus left the station.
Arnold and Aisling sat behind all the other teams, in part so Arnold wouldn't have people see Aisling smiling happily at him. However, the team in front of them slowly looked around at them.
"You two seem rather happy" Dawn smiled softly.
"Do they…?" Jaime whispered with a small frown.
"How could you not tell?" Dawn politely asked her friend "it's clear that these two have a loving aura between them"
Arnold was just slowly rubbing his temple "I seriously don't need your opinion on this whole situation. I've been hearing this from her since last night…"
"Come on Arnie! You saw the same card I saw!" Aisling smiled lovingly while trying to hold his hand, even as he kept moving his hands away from her.
Confessional: Aisling
Aisling was standing at the back of the bus while holding up a few tarot cards. She smiled while showing them off "there are many cards in a tarot set. And, last night I finally whittled Arnold down to trying to take one. And, when he did. He pulled out a one-of-a-kind card" Aisling showed a card with a heart on it "this means that Arnold and I are soulmates that are meant to be together!"
"I told you not to talk about me like that" Arnold called from ahead in the bus.
"It was loving I promise!" Aisling called with a smile.
"That's the problem" Arnold grumbled.

Not far from them Danny and Freddy were high-fiving each other "we're already in the top six of the race. I'm feeling good about this one!" Freddy smirked at his larger friend.
Danny smirked as well "oh you better believe it. This challenge is going to be so easy, I can almost taste victory"
"And I can taste your mom" Guy mocked while getting a high-five from his friend.
Danny and Freddy just rolled their eyes "good one dude"
After a slow but rather short trip, the bus slowly came to a stop. Every team on the bus started rushing off, wanting an early lead.
However, one team was left on the bus longer than the rest. In the back of the group like the Skeptic, the Polar Opposites were sitting together. Anne on the ride had gotten bored and passed out, so now she was resting her head on Hope's shoulder.
Hope had a small blush on her face as she twiddled her fingers. She slowly raised her head to look at the camera focusing on them "d-do… you think she'd be upset if we maybe waited on here until the second batch of contestants?"
Anne snored softly in her sleep, having a big goofy grin on her face as she started rubbing her head against the side of Hope's.
"Yea… I think she'd want us to stay in here for a while" Hope decided confidently. "She'd probably be mad if I got up and woke her up anyways"
The bus started leaving again as Hannah and Joshua got to their first destination. Somehow. With Hannah naturally being the first one to touch the dick tip. The area around them was a large open area with holes randomly lining the ground. She brought the tip to her face before reading it "oh… this is totally our challenge!"
Richard walked along the open wastelands, skipping over the geysers as they went off behind him. "She can sure say this is her challenge. But the first part of this challenge will be running through these geysers."
He then appeared standing next to a beautiful young woman with black hair "and once you're past the geysers you have to repeat a term in Icelandic. If it's good enough, she'll hand you your next tip"
Richard smirked a bit at the lady "hey when the race is over you wanna come by my place? I can get you a lot more of those weird bird things"
The lady just glared at him, obviously insulted by his words.
It cuts back to Hannah and Joshua, who was standing at a small metal box before pressing a button. Soon from the box, a statement in Icelandic was played.
"S-should we listen again?" Joshua asked cautiously.
"I understand the language" Hannah waved her hand dismissively "I'm almost perfect when it comes to the Nordic languages" the duo ran off as the rest of the teams came in.
Confessional: Toxic Couple
Hannah has a small smirk "I learned all the Scandinavian languages when I heard in college that all of the countries are well known for their healthcare systems. In the case that America collapses, it's good to have a backup plan"
Joshua smiled softly "you're always so prepared" he gushed.
"Yea, us women have to play a bit harder in our male-dominated world"

While Hannah and Joshua were slowly running through the geyser field, however, considering Hannah's… lifestyle she was very much slowing down her team as Ninja and Shiro jumped from geyser to geyser, using their shot of steam to boost them ahead.
In fact, the only team running behind Hannah's was the Internet Losers, as Guy had gotten himself stuck in one of the geysers.
The first group to make it to the judge were the Brains and Brawn. Freddy was the one to step up "uhh…" Freddy slowly repeated the term with a small smile.
The local stared at him for a moment, before slowly shaking her head.
"Ah, nuts…" Freddy groaned before running back through the geyser field.
"Men just don't understand how rude it is to mispronounce another language" Hannah shook her head disapprovingly before saying the phrase with a confident look.
The local frowned slightly and shook her head. Hannah's confident expression slowly left her face "w-what?"
She shook her head again before pointing back. Hannah lowered her head "I'm so sorry for insulting your culture like that! I promise next time I'll get it!"
Hannah grabbed Joshua and started running back through the geysers while breaking out into a sweat.
"Pathetic" Arnold murmured before walking to the lady. He said the whole Icelandic statement practically perfectly. The local smiled and handed him the tip.
"Amazing as always" Aisling grinned, trying to hug Arnold before the rich kid started walking past her.
"Looks like it's an either-or" Arnold tapped his chin "well this may be annoying"
Richard was standing in another part of Iceland, between two different routes "in this either-or the teams have two choices for how they'll get to the chill zone."
Richard was then standing in front of a large bit of ice and lightly tapped it "down one route they can steal ancient fossils" behind him was a giant, fully intact wooly mammoth.
He then appeared in front of a large table "and if fossil hunting is just too hard for you, you can just go ahead and enjoy a nice little buffet" he raised one of the silver plates containers to find a head of a goat
"Eeesh. Now I'm really glad I get paid just to make other people do this"
"That's going to be a long walk" Arnold groaned slightly before he began his walk to their next route. Aisling just smiled as she followed directly behind him.
Soon after they had gotten their tip to the next activity Shiro and Ninja landed in front of the lady. With Shiro being the one to step up with a confident grin. He started saying something in Icelandic, only for him to get slapped across the face.
Ninja immediately stepped forward "don't harm my master!" Ninja threatened.
Shiro smirked slightly as he waved Ninja off "don't worry. This isn't my first time being slapped by such a beautiful woman"
Shiro grabbed Ninja before running off "what did you say?" Ninja asked.
"If I shared they'd have to cut this whole scene" he mused as he just kept going.
The group of failures made their way back the next 7 contestants came in. Along with the Polar Opposites.
The Circus Partners, La Familia, Hall of Famers, Wilderness girls, Simps, the Rivalry Twins, and the Bandmates were the new teams to run into the new challenge.
"Crap, we gotta hurry up" Guy panicked once they got back, quickly taking another listen of the foreign speaker.
However many of the other teams were listening in to the speaker. "Did you get that Tweedle Idiot?" Piccolo turned his head to ask.
"Yea, definitely!" Monstro smiled a bit as he started following behind his small friend.
Sophie looked at the box before pressing it again. After listening for a few moments she started writing it down on a piece of paper.
"Is that legal?" Deion asked the girl.
"Couldn't hurt" Sophie shrugged before following her grandma.
"Why didn't you think of grabbing a notebook?" Joe slapped the back of Deion's head.
Deion just grumbled in annoyance as he started running with Joe.
In the geysers, the teams continued through as they easily managed to avoid the large geysers. With the only exception being Rodney, who was stumbling through the geysers. He was about to trip into one when he could feel someone pull him back.
"What?" Rodney stood up and turned around to see Bea had saved him.
"Be careful kiddo. These geysers can be seriously dangerous" Bea chastised him before running ahead with Sophie in toe.
"I'm glad you're ok dude" Adam smiled at his larger friend. He pats Rodney on the back, however his partner was more focused on watching Bea running ahead.
"Woah…"
"Oh no," Adam groaned defeatedly.
Confessional: Rodney
"Bea really looks good for her age" he smiled with a small blush as he sat next to a geyser "I mean, there's an age gap yea… but love ignored age!" He clutched his heart before settling down "I just hope it doesn't make things awkward with me and Margaret. I hope she understands that what we had was nice… but I have to go for softer, older, greener pastures"
While Rodney was doing his spiel Adam was shaking his head disapprovingly.
XXX
Maya and Jeremy ran to the local, with Maya stepping forward and trying to give the Icelandic sentence. However, she got a thumbs down.
"Oh man, so close" she bonked her own noggin while sticking her tongue out. Jeremy could only let out a small, annoyed groan.
"Let's just give it another go around then…" Jeremy murmured dejectedly as they started running back. He was already starting to break a sweat.
Margaret and Maria were the next two to run up, with Margaret being the one to repeat the term, only for another turndown. "Ugh, of course," Margaret groaned.
La Familia turned around to run back, only for Margaret to run face-first into Rodney, knocking herself back onto her ass "watch where you're going asshole, or I'll make sure you can't look where you're going again"
Rodney lowered his hand with a small blush "look I-I uh, well, the sun lowers on everything and I-I'm so sorry!" Rodney lowered his head in shame.
Margaret ignored his hand as she got back up before slowly walking around him "yea… totally" the mafia boss murmured awkwardly before running off. Maria started chasing after her, after getting a wink from Adam.
Adam pat Rodney on the back "hey, you did what you had to do big guy, now how about you give this lady a repeat of what we heard earlier?"
Rodney slowly looked up at her, before trying to suppress his sadness "I, uh, Borkety bork bork?"
Adam slapped his own forehead "that's the Swedish chef Rodney, that's not even close to Icelandic"
"S-sorry, a breakup is always hard on the soul Adam…"
Adam sighed softly "I get it bud, I get it" Adam patted his friend's back before they started making their way back like most of the teams.
Before the duo could even make it all the way back, the Bandmates, Last Resort, Disaster Situation, and the Unbalanced Friendship finally came in.
"Freaking finally we're back in" Kylie groaned as she ran off the bus. Laurie meekly followed her before tapping the box and reading the tip to her partner.
"Great… this isn't going to go easy for either of us is it?" Kylie grumbled, just getting a small meek nod from Laurie.
"Oh come on Laurie, have some confidence!" Kylie reprimanded.
Laurie frowned slightly, trying to get what Kylie actually wanted her to say "s…sorry?"
Behind them came the other two teams, with Ben already listening to the Icelandic statement, once it was over and the other three teams from behind were already moving ahead Ben just listened to it again.
"Shouldn't we be going?" Desmond frowned slightly "the other teams are already running ahead"
Ben shook his head "we'll save time by memorizing the term, rather than running back and forth"
"Well… as long as we don't take too long memorizing it" Desmond smiled softly before standing uncomfortably close to his friend.
Soon after the group of newcomers came, Anne and Hope were running to the lady, with Anne rubbing her head "man, I can't believe I was just sleeping so long. I'd make a joke about it but I think most of my jokes are getting tired."
Hope giggled softly "g-good one. I-I'm sure you falling asleep won't be a problem. It doesn't seem like anyone could get the transl-" before Hope could finish her thought she stumbled face-first onto the group, lodging her head right into a geyser before it started shooting out hot air.
"Hope!" Anne yelled nervously before running over to help her get up "are you ok?"
Hope slowly raised her head up, her hair was pushed backward as she just sat there. Her eyes were wide open and she looked like she was on the verge of dying from a heart attack.
"H-Hope? How are you doing?" Anne smiled softly, hoping Hope was ok. However, she never got a response from her.
"Oh boy that's not good…" Anne gulped.
While some teams like the Polar Opposites were having trouble, more teams were beginning to move ahead in the challenge. Bea and Sophie ran up to the lady, with Sophie looking down at her notecard while repeating the term with a small smile, getting a thumbs up from the lady.
Dawn and Jaime were soon to follow them, with Jaime repeating the term at a snail's pace, but the lady didn't mind as she let them go ahead.
This was then followed up by Anne just guessing as well as she could while carrying Hope.
Bonnie and Tamera were the next groups to come up, Tamera sighed "ok, let's just do this…" she began retelling the term before Bonnie put a finger in her mouth to stop her from talking.
"Before she does that, I gotta say, you look amazing in that dress" Bonnie smiled with her least pervy smile she could share "I mean I never considered wearing a goose like that but if you look that good I would absolutely try that!"
The lady blushed slightly before handing them a tip to the next stage.
Bonnie smiled and took it, smirking a bit at Tamera, who was trying to say something before Bonnie started moving her finger around in her mouth "don't speak, I can tell from your body that you appreciate my efforts" Bonnie whispered softly before running off to keep moving.
Tamera spat on the ground with a purely disgusted expression "what a disgusting pig"
Arnold and Aisling had managed to get a decent head start on this challenge, however, it wasn't going as well as one would hope. They were both sitting at the table, with Arnold begrudgingly eating part of it.
"I would be able to make something better than this with both of my arms broken" the rich kid grumbled in annoyance.
"I'm sure you could" Aisling happily agreed while eating one of the eyes "but I'm so very happy you agreed it would be bad luck to break the fossils out of their ice cages"
Arnold rolled his eyes "I thought this one would go along faster that's all. But if you really want to thank me you could just start eating faster"
Aisling just smiled and started eating faster "of course I'll eat as fast as you want"
Arnold looked disgusted as she stuffed parts of the pig into her mouth, speaking as chunks of the meat came out.
"Say it, don't spray it" Arnold murmured in annoyance.
Aisling just gave him a small thumbs-up, but he was quick to notice that behind them multiple other teams were coming in.
"Took them all long enough, I'm halfway through this" Arnold rolled his eyes.
The other teams seemed to prefer the idea of going into the large cave. Dawn and Jaime walked up to a large shell frozen in the ice.
"Do you suppose you have a way to break through the ice?" Dawn politely asked her psychic friend.
Jaime scratched his chin "I-I suppose I could try using my… powers" Jaime murmured nervously.
Dawn smiled softly at him "if you don't feel ready yet you don't have to" she picked up the pick-ax and started slowly picking a hole into the ice "do not worry ancient one when we free you we promise to return you swiftly!"
Jaime smiled softly before helping her start picking at it.
Not far from them Tamera was letting Bonnie pick at the ice, as she leaned against the wall while looking at her nails.
"So why aren't you helping this part?" Bonnie innocently asked.
"If I were to use that ax it could break a nail, and we wouldn't want that while I'm on national tv right?"
Bonnie quickly nodded "of course! It would be a travesty if the world didn't see the total model I'm seeing in front of me!"
"You're really scoring up simp points" Tamera grumbled quietly before just walking away from the ginger.
Near the mouth of the cave, Bea and Sophie were slowly walking closer "well this challenge looks like it could be a fun one" Bea smiled at Sophie "but let's make sure we use our wilderness girl spirit and get ourselves a good ranking"
Sophie nodded with a smile before walking into the cave. Bea was about to follow her in when she felt a small tap on her shoulder "yes?"
Rodney was now standing behind her, he seemingly had gotten through the first phase. Adam however just walked right past him, knowing exactly where this one was going.
Rodney tapped his fingers together bashfully "I, uh, well see… I-I was hoping to, uh, chat" he smiled.
Bea raised an eyebrow at him "uh, if you want sure… you seem like a nice boy" the old lady started walking down to catch up with Sophie.
Rodney smiled happily to himself as he followed behind her, looking downwards as he kept close behind.
When Bea and Rodney got down to Sophie the small girl smiled at her grandma, before looking weirdly at Rodney. "Why's one of the simps helping us?"
Bea shrugged slightly "he just wanted to chat with the competition. Not sure why"
Sophie perked up slightly "is this one of those alliance things?" She whispered so the other teams wouldn't hear.
Bea looked a little surprised before looking at Rodney "is that what you meant? I don't know how much I want to be in something like that. No offense"
Rodney quickly shook his head "No! Or, well, I mean uh… w-we can just be, like, close?" He smiled nervously.
Bea and Sophie looked at him funny before just going back to the actual challenge at hand.
Back at the geysers, more of the teams were seemingly getting ready to move onto the next phase. There was basically a line of people trying to move on to the next phase. From front to back was the Polar Opposites, La Familia, and then the Unbalanced Friendship.
In the front were the Brains and Brawn. Freddy had a confident smirk on his face as he pushed up his glasses and repeated the term. The lady smiled and handed them the tip.
"Thanks love" Freddy smiled proudly before moving along with Danny.
Kylie and Laurie were about to move forward when Guy and Blake just shoved right past all the girls, specifically pushing Laurie down face first on the ground.
"Hey watch it!" Margaret and Kylie both yelled at them at the same time.
"Who do you think you are trying to cut in line fatass?" Margaret threatened angrily.
"Oh, is a girl talking to me?" Guy smirked back at them "just let the guys handle this one, trust me you won't regret it when we show you how it's done"
Blake walked forward, cracking his fingers with a confident look on his face before barely repeating the Icelandic term at all. The lady already looked annoyed with them before that but was quick to give a thumbs down.
"Ugh, women are always so specific" Guy groaned as Blake and he started running back. Well, more like briskly walked back.
Kylie glared at the back of their heads as she helped Laurie up "I really want to just break a few of his bones…"
Margaret nodded slightly "he'd get lucky just losing a leg"
Kylie and Margaret slowly looked at each other, with Kylie slowly smirking "wanna team up?"
Margaret thought before eventually shrugging "eh, sure. As long as I am in charge that sounds fine to me"
Kylie shrugged "as long as I finally get rid of that dweeb I'm game. Laurie isn't going to get anywhere if that guy keeps her thinking she has to be a baby"
Laurie frowned at her "I-I don't act like a b-baby. He just w-wanted further in line faster…"
Kylie rolled her eyes at her friend "right. You love getting stepped over I know that much. Just start repeating the term so we can move on and I will have to carry us again"
Laurie raised her finger to say something, before shutting up and walking forward with her head down.
Margaret smirked slightly at Kylie "she knows how to lead, obviously not as well as me but I guess she's ok" Maria just nodded her head, not feeling like she could argue with that for obvious reasons.
Anne looked at the group's funny while holding Hope up by her arm.
Confessional: Polar Opposites
Anne looked a little confused as she stood by the lady with the goose. She was still holding Hope up while holding her close "I just don't get it. Why would you partner up with someone when you find them Anne-nnoying?" Anne giggled slightly before shaking her head "no, no. I'm sure I've done that one before. I need something better. If Hope was here she'd have something. She's always so clever" Anne smiled with a faint blush.
Anne stopped to think up a good pun for the audience. While she was looking away Hope looked towards the camera with a small smile as she moved her body a little closer to her partner.

Back with the groups in the lead, Arnold and Aisling looked disgusted but were finished with the meal. They walked towards Richard while holding the dinner plate "we're done with your stupid challenge" Arnold stated before throwing the plate on the ground.
Richard nods "yes, you two did win" he smiled "so congrats team lovers, you're first place!"
Aisling smiled happily, while Arnold just looked more annoyed than usual with the host "yea, great. Not like it's surprising or anything"
Richard smirked at his contestant "you're so right. In fact, I agree so much with your amazing synergy that I think this is grounds for a new team name"
Arnold slowly looked less annoyed and more nervous "I don't know if that's quite necessary. I think Psychic and Skeptic fits us just fine"
Richard wagged his finger "no, I got it. As host, I think I'll decree you two as team… Loving Couple" he grinned smugly.
Arnold quietly glared at him before walking away "I'm going to ruin this channel when I'm done here"
Once he was gone Aisling gave him a happy smile "that was a very good idea Richard. For that, I'll be nice and not tell you you'll end up loveless" she started walking away.
Richard rolled his eyes "she's hot and all but I can't say I'm too jealous of that uptight kid. Whatever his name was"
Before Richard could even walk off he could hear two footsteps come towards him "we've finished" Dawn called his attention.
The host jumped in surprise "oh, it's just you two. Right, great. Just move along Psychics you got second"
"Another wonderful lead" Dawn smiled at Jaime, who bashfully nodded his head with a small smile.
"You two are seriously starting to get boring" Richard deadpanned in response.
After those two groups had finished more and more teams were finally moving on to the next phases. The Internet Losers, Unbalanced Friendship, and Bandmates had moved onto the cave digging as fast as they could.
While on the other side, the Polar Opposites, Disorganized Disaster, and the Clown Posse
At the end of the table, Monstro and Piccolo were sat down and stared at the large pig head in front of them. Neither of them looked like they wanted anything to deal with this meal. Monstro slowly raised his hands to his lips to keep himself from throwing up.
Piccolo punched him in the side "throw that up and you're eating the rest of it got it?"
Monstro nodded nervously before gulping his vomit down "s-sorry Piccolo. I just haven't seen someone eat something as gross as that since the ringleader fired dumpster boy"
Piccolo groaned while looking down "that guy ate half of my good shoes for one of his acts"
Monstro chuckled slightly "yea, I wonder where he is now-" instead of getting a response Piccolo shoved some meat down his gullet.
"In a mental hospital if he's half as nuts as you. Just keep eating before we have to use a tube for it!" Piccolo then took a bite out of a piece, just quietly eating it "honestly this is easier to swallow than knowing there's a chance I wake up tomorrow"
The other two teams on the meal were just eating as fast as possible without much issue. Desmond and Ben were rapidly eating through their pig, eating through two ends of the meal. Desmond had his eyes open as he drove through it, seeing Ben's face also come closer.
Desmond and Ben ate through the pig and eventually meet at the end. Desmond smiled happily, while Ben quickly pulled back with a faint blush "right, let's get going since we're done" Ben murmured quietly as he started walking away with the plate. Desmond just smiled happily as he followed.
To their side Hope just stared with a small frown, wishing she thought of doing that with Anne.
"I really only thought that would work in movies" Anne joked, laughing at her own joke before trailing off as she took a bite out of the pig head.
Hope nods, leaning down to slowly eat one of the eyes. Anne's eyes bulged in surprise at how easily she gulped that down.
"How- how did you eat that without throwing up?" Anne had to ask.
Hope shrugged a little "I'm a disgusting piece of filth… something like this is honestly too good for me"
Anne frowned as she took a bite out of a piece "that's not funny"
"Most people would consider my life funny" she murmured sadly.
Confessional: Desmond
He had a small smile on his face "I know kissing isn't the first sign of a close friendship or anything but you have to think of it positively!" Desmond was standing in front of the chill zone, glancing around subtly to make sure Ben wasn't watching. For anyone near him he'd look seriously creepy "he didn't get upset when we kissed right? If we weren't friends he would've gotten upset about that. Hell, even normal friends would feel awkward after that, but no, Ben and I stayed normal and cool. Just a few legs into the race and I'd say we're already... so much more than normal friends!" He smiled happily "I knew Ben and I would get even closer than we already were before! I knew this race would be a great idea. For both of us!"

Meanwhile, on the other side of the challenge, many different teams were trying to break through the mining of the fossils. Cord and Makenna were both swinging at the same time as they tried breaking off a piece of ice, getting close to getting their fossil. However, the entire time they hadn't been talking.
Makenna glanced towards her friend with a small frown "are you ok?"
Cord nods, not looking at all towards her "just fine"
Makenna frowned "come on, you can talk to me. Are you upset about the last challenge? I am sorry, I just didn't want to waste my chance to ride a shark!"
Cord slowly turned to stare blankly at her "for the rest of the season you and I are going to be working together and avoiding your need to do something stupid"
Makenna frowned "that's not fair. I came here to do stupid stuff and work with you!"
Cord shook her head "until I know you won't almost endanger us in a challenge I will not allow you to waste our time on things. Understood?"
Makenna frowned but relented and nodded "yea, sure. But that means you and I are gonna have to talk a lot more to pass the time"
Cord shrugged "fine by me"
"Good"
"Good" Cord nods.
Makenna and Cord continued to pick at the fossil. Makenna slowly started picking at the ice slower and slower. "Ok. I give" Makenna sighed "I'm sorry and I'm sure you are too. So let's just forget that argument."
"no" was all her partner said.
She groaned softly before dropping down to her knees in defeat.
A black screen appears as Richard's voice speaks over it again "coming in third we have the Disorganized Disaster, followed closely by the Simps in 4th and the Wilderness Girls in 5th place! Places are starting to get filled up faster and faster here so the contestants better hurry up!"
While everyone was working on their fossils, Tamera was leaning against some ice, just waiting on someone else to finish their digging.
Tamera smirked, seeing Freddy and Danny pick through some ice as they finally got their fossil out of the wall. She started confidently walking towards them when Bonnie jumped right in front of her with a wide grin. "Hey, Tamera! I got our fossil, now we can actually finish ahead!"
Tamera frowned at her "do you expect us to get any attention when we're just finishing early in the challenge? There's barely been any drama yet"
Bonnie frowned back "but… don't you want to be safe from elimination for once? I don't want to go home early when we've barely spent time together!"
Tamera looked simply disgusted by her, but glanced away with a small nod "yea, sure. But I get to sabotage one team got it?"
Bonnie quickly nodded "sounds more than fair!"
Tamera smirked "good, because you're going to be doing most of the hard work"
Bonnie just continued to nod, even though she never once looked up and away from the other girl's chest. "Maybe we should stay warm until you decide who you wanna sabotage"
Tamera backed away from her "yea, no thanks. I'd literally rather freeze to death than even hug you"
Bonnie grinned more perversely as she drooled a little "well, we could do a lot more than hugging… I think some snuggling is more than fair for all my help"
Tamera tried pushing Bonnie back as she just kept coming closer and closer. The camera shifted away as Danny and Freddy picked up their fossil.
"Did you hear anything?" Danny asked his partner.
Freddy shrugged "if I did it's definitely not my problem"
Both boys started running off as the large spikes of ice hid Tamera and Bonnie's hiding spot.
From there more and more teams were still coming through. "6th is the Hall of Famers, followed up with La Familia, Bandmates, Big and Small, Unbalanced Friendship, the Clown Posse, and the Polar Opposites!"
"The only teams left to their own devices are the Rivalry Twins, Last Resort, Toxic Couple, Internet Losers, and Turtle School!" Richard sounded a little confused "wait, Turtle School is in the bottom two? I really expected them to have done better here"
Back in the challenge, Jeremy and Maya finally got past the first part of the challenge, Jeremy sighed in relief as they finally got to their next phase.
"Great, so, uh… w-what should we do?" Jeremy whispered as he saw Guy plowing through his meal while Turtle School was cutting through the ice just using their hands to chop through them.
Maya smiled and shrugged "that food looks delicious"
Jeremy frowned while looking at the food. He knew that Maya would end up making him eat most of that pig, so he just ignored what she had said and quickly started walking towards the ice cave.
Behind them, still having trouble even getting through the first phase was Hannah and Joshua. Hannah had gone back and forth from the local and Icelandic term at least five times now. Hannah slowly dragged herself towards the local, sweating profusely as she slowly raised herself up. She slowly repeated, coughing halfway through.
The local however had to give them both a thumbs down.
Hannah groaned weakly as she collapsed on the ground "Dick pant expected us pant to run way too much!"
Joshua was also sweating profusely as he landed down on his knees "M-Maybe this time I can run back by myself and get the term"
Hannah slowly looked at him, but eventually nodded "fine. Sure"
Joshua smiled down at her, before sprinting back to the start of the geysers. Just wanting to prove how helpful he can be to Hannah.
Back in the cave, Jeremy and Maya had only barely started digging up a fossil as Ninja sliced off a large chunk of ice, freeing the fossil.
Shiro gave Ninja a large thumbs up with a smile "well done Ninja-san. That was a truly impressive display of power!"
Ninja smiled before bowing at Shiro "thank you sensei"
Ninja raised herself back up and was about to start walking off before 'accidentally' bumping into Maya.
"Oh, pardon me" Maya smiled as she leaned down to help Ninja back up.
"T-thanks" Ninja smiled meekly, blushing slightly at Maya's beautiful appearance. Maya smiled a little wider at Ninja's expression as she moved a lock of hair.
"Hey, uh, do you know what we're supposed to be doing?" Maya asked innocently.
Ninja nods back, just as innocently "yea, you and your partner have to cut out a fossil from the ice"
Maya tilted her head before looking back at the block of ice, inside was a frozen mammoth tusk. "How do we do that?"
Shiro looked at her funny "with your pick-ax?"
Maya looked down to see she was holding hers by the ax and was hitting it with the stick "uh… could you two maybe help us?" She smiled sweetly.
Ninja blushed again at her smile "of course we would love t-" Ninja stopped herself before looking down at her master. She chuckled nervously "c-can me and my partner talk about this?"
Maya nodded with a small smile as Ninja and Shiro slowly walked away. Jeremy just continued to quietly pick at the ice without much issue.
"Ninja, I know as honorable warriors we must help others, but we're already near the very bottom of the race already. We should move along and just try to get a higher ranking in the next race" Shiro politely explained.
Ninja frowned sadly at her sensei "Shiro-sensei, we came to this competition to show our beautiful, honorable dojo! If we were to leave behind these two it would bring nothing but dishonor to us!"
Shiro sighed softly "you're right Ninja… maybe if we help them they might even try out our dojo" He smiled, trying to look more on the bright side.
Ninja grinned and pat his back "that's the spirit sensei!" The young weeb turned around and smiled at the Rival Twins "we're here to help!" She proudly declared before running at the fossil and repeatedly cutting into it with her bare hands.
Not far from them, Tamera groaned in annoyance as she leaned closer to the spikes to look at the two teams working together. On her back, Bonnie was latched onto her like a small child holding onto their mother. The redhead was slowly rubbing her head against her upper back "did you hear that you disgusting gremlin?" the HBIC asked.
Bonnie nodded with a wide grin "yes ma'am I heard!" She grinned wide "I'll distract them no problem"
Tamera just side-eyed her "good. If this goes well enough I will only put a restraining order on you when the season is over"
Bonnie grinned and slowly ran her finger along her back "think we can push that up to a kiss?"
Tamera grumbled angrily "let's make it an "I won't sue you for sexual assault if you take this seriously" deal"
Bonnie sighed "fine"
Meanwhile, outside of the large ice caves, Hannah and Joshua were slowly walking away from their last leg, with Joshua rubbing the back of his head bashfully.
"I-I'm sorry I got that one right…"
Hannah just sighed "I need to be less insensitive and make sure I understand other languages better. Just because I know English doesn't mean I should be ignorant of others" she then turned to him, looking around to make sure there were no cameras or people around before giving Joshua a small, quick hug.
"Thank you for being progressive enough to take other languages better than me" she whispered before pulling back before Joshua could even fully appreciate the hug.
Her boyfriend faintly blushed before smiling a little "Don't worry H-Hannah, I'm sure in our next location you'll impress everyone with how well you understand other cultures"
"These contestants haven't shown any appreciation for the countries they've visited so I'm sure the next locals will appreciate that" Hannah smiled a bit before looking at the two routes, smiling a bit "a traditional cuisine, sounds better than anything the Americans appropriate"
Joshua just smiled and nodded before following her down to a table. When they sat down, they became face to face with the pig head. Joshua couldn't help showing some disgust, while Hannah just smiled and clasped her hands together.
"The Icelandic truly have a wonderful taste of cuisine." she almost immediately grabbed one of the eyes and shoved it in her mouth, licking her lips a bit.
Joshua gulped nervously. He still didn't feel comfortable taking a bite out of the weird food before he suddenly heard Richard yelling out loud "Guy and Blake have made it to the chill zone! Only three more spots are left!"
Joshua's eyes bulged in fear before he started shoving some of the food in his mouth. Hannah looked at him and smacked him on the back "don't be so rude while eating this meal Joshua. If one of the locals saw you eating like that they'd be disgusted. When you eat that fast you can't even taste it!"
Joshua smiled meekly "r-right, m-my bad" he slowly popped the other eye in his mouth, slowly and carefully chewing on it as Hannah stared suspiciously at him.
Joshua eventually gulped it down, smiling sickly as he rubbed his stomach "d-delicious". Joshua's skin tone slowly began to turn to a green tone as Hannah slowly stopped staring at him. Causing him to faintly sigh in relief.
Back in the caves, Ninja had cut the ice with relative ease as the ice-coated tusk dropped on the ground.
"Thanks, Ninja" Maya smiled sweetly as she leaned down to start pushing the block "I, like, really really really hope we can work together again later"
Ninja blushed faintly as she played with her hair "oh, yeah, thanks" she smiled under her scarf.
Before Jeremy and Maya could drag their ice block far before they could hear someone call towards them "yoo hooooo~"
Maya and Jeremy turned around before both of their eyes bulged in shock as they see Bonnie entirely undressed while leaning against some ice. She looked like she was minutes away from freezing to death.
"Why are you- wha- where are your clothes?" Maya had trouble even understanding what she was doing.
Confessional: Bonnie
Bonnie grinned to herself, as the camera only showed the top of her head "so, Tamera never said how I could distract them…. So I thought why not? If things don't work out with me and Tammy then there's some guy out there who saw that and knew he'd have to hit up all this"

Ninja moved her scarf up above her head to cover her furiously blushing face while Shiro just stared with a little blood going down his nose.
Jeremy slowly dropped his surprise, just looking away out of embarrassment for her. Maya meanwhile was still just confused "what are you doing? Shouldn't you be doing the challenge instead of streaking?" Jeremy asked as politely as he could.
Bonnie smiled and shrugged "I don't know, Tamera said it would help if I left her alone and showed off. She's probably staring right at me!"
Ninja slowly lowered her scarf a little "d-d-do you mind if we move along?"
Bonnie frowned "oh, are you sure you don't want to stay and chat?" Bonnie asked casually, like she wasn't just showing off for anyone to see "I was actually hoping we could talk about working together"
Shiro smirked but still shook his head "sorry but we already spent a lot of time helping these two get their fossil out we should get going" Shiro continued to quietly stare at her as he started walking with his fossil. Soon being followed by Ninja who still looked flustered.
"Yea, let's go Jermy" she smiled, turning around before immediately noticing that their fossil was gone "what the-"
Jeremy looked away from the wall and noticed Bonnie had already seemingly disappeared. "How is she that fast?"
"She took our fossil!" Maya yelled, sounding angrier than she ever had before on the show.
Ninja looked back at her with a small frown "we saw Bonnie the whole time how could she have stolen your fossil?"
Shiro slapped his forehead "that was a diversion wasn't it?"
Maya and Jeremy quickly started sprinting out of the cave, being followed behind by their new allies. However, once they escaped the cave all they saw was Tamera and Bonnie standing at the chill zone. Bonnie was currently just trying to get her shirt back on, but taking it as slowly as possible as she tried to stand right in front of Tamera to get her to look down at her chest.
"Well Team Last Resort, for once you're not getting a penalty. Gotta give you that I was surprised you could handle it" Richard mused "so you're 14th place"
Maya growled lowly as she ran up to the chill zone "hey, they stole our fossil!"
Richard silently glanced at her, before looking at Hannah still eating "yea…. But they're the ones who got the fossil over here so… first comes first serve"
"That's not fair!" Maya yelled loudly in anger "they totally cheated they should at least get a penalty!"
Richard just stared blankly at her, before slowly looking around "huh, weird, I don't think I see that annoying hippo around. I guess they're not disqualified" he grinned. Soon, Ninja and Shiro started walking closer "ah, yes, Turtle School, you two are 15th place. Leaving us with one spot left to stay in the game!"
Ninja smiled a little "oh, good… sorry they stole your fossil Maya" she bowed towards her "I'm sorry I could not have helped you more"
Maya just glared at her before pushing past her "come on Jeremy, we have to finish that meal before those other two do!" Jeremy let out a small whimper, knowing he didn't want to argue with her when she was like this as he just followed her as fast as he could.
Hannah and Joshua were almost already entirely done with their meal by the time the Rivalry Twins had made their way over to them. Maya didn't waste any time, sitting down at one of the tables while pulling Jeremy down, before shoving chunks of meat down her partner's throat to make him eat faster.
Joshua frowned over at them as he picked off the last piece of meat on the pig "s-she's really mean to him" he murmured quietly.
Hannah shrugged and got up quickly "he probably cost them the challenge by hitting on some woman when she didn't want it" she quickly grabbed her boyfriend by the arm and started running.
"Ugh, why can't you eat fast enough?" Maya hissed at her twin before shoving more down his throat faster.
Eventually, the entire pig head was shoved down his throat, making Jeremy himself look like a stuffed pig. Maya grabbed him by the arm while dragging him as fast as possible after Hannah and Joshua.
Hannah rushed head fist into the chill zone, stepping onto the red carpet with Joshua following right behind.
Richard sighed softly in annoyance "great. Toxic Couple, you guys got 16th, you're safe"
Hannah smiled proudly with herself "once again proving what a plus-sized woman could do more than you Mr. host" Hannah continued to smile to herself as she walked off with Joshua.
Eventually, after them, Maya and Jeremy walked forward. Well, Maya walked forward. Jeremy was hunched over a bush throwing up some of the pig he was force-fed.
Maya crossed her arms at the host as Richard just smiled at her "hey, you and your brother over there didn't do so bad. You almost reached a third of the competition" he joked "but yes, you two are out"
Maya growled at him "when I get home I'm going to make sure you never have the chance to get a girlfriend"
Richard chuckled "trust me I can do that on my own" his expression then became stern "now get going before we have to get security to get you off the premises"
Maya just rolled her eyes as she started walking away from him.
"So… that sucked" Jeremy spoke softly "I mean, we didn't go first… but I was at least hoping we could've gotten a little further"
"Yea, that host was just awful. I could do so much better than that guy" Maya continued on next with an obviously annoyed tone.
"Yea… his whole hitting on girls thing was always k-kind of creepy"
The two of them were now walking together towards an Icelandic motel. Maya just looked at him "you can call mom to pick you up, I'm staying here to try out some of those saunas"
Jeremy seemed actually a little happy hearing her say that "please, stay here as long as you could possibly need. A month sounds good to me"
Maya slapped the back of his head "just don't touch my stuff back home and I won't have to tell everyone about how you reacted to all the sharks" she smirked at him.
AN: and yea, this is back lol. I just needed a bit of a break on these because of school I guess. I also kind of realized that when it came to CC, I just didn't like how I was using most of the characters so just gave up on that. Even if I was also planning to get back into that one too. But, naturally, for this RR I will be changing some plots and arcs around to keep this season from being predictable now. After writing this one I decided, why not. I'm having fun with the cast I might as well give er another go.
This was also the Last Resort's big first antagonistic move. At least one that actually sabotaged a team and got them out anyways. Along with that, we lost our second set of Twins, I do like Jeremy (granted I like Maya way more) but I just didn't see much reason to take them much further. Thanks, Music Fan for handing him over to me though, even if I didn't even mention his classic catchphrase.
I'll see you all next time, as my next chap should be out sooner than later.
