"Welcome back to Total Drama Island. Last time we watched an epic blindside as Leshawna puppeteered her way to get rid of the biggest threat in the game. Courtney. Heather and Leshawna are in the best position of the game right now, but will they be able to hold that position with a merge imminent. Meanwhile the Gophers are far from a happy family. Despite winning the last challenge there is still a lot of hate between Scarlett and her teammates. Will that ever resolve, and will it affect future votes? Find out in tonight's most exciting episode yet."
Theme Song
The sun was already high in the sky on Camp Wawanakwa by the time the episode started. Several interns ran out of the communal toilets, pursued by a bear. Dakota handed Chris his coffee before he spit it over her. Chef chopped away at what looked to be pineapples. All in all, a normal day.
The camera shifted to the main lodge where some members of the teams were finally finishing off their breakfast. "Hey Leshawna," Jackson called out to Leshawna, who had just finished eating.
"What's up sugar," Leshawna replied.
"I just want to say thanks for last night."
"Oh it was no problem sugar. Wanted to switch up the game for the betterment of the team."
"Saved us in the process too."
"It was the least I could do."
"As much as I don't trust Heather as far as I can throw her, she seems tamer now than she did day one."
"Yeah I knocked a little sense into her," Leshawna chuckled along with Jackson.
Confessional, Jackson
So… Leshawna didn't betray me. That's a first. Hopefully this is the start to a new alliance and Scott and Duncan go next.
"Hey Zoey can I sit here?" Marilyn asked the indie girl.
"Oh sure Marilyn," Zoey replied, setting her food down.
"After last night I feel like I have an actual chance at this thing now." Marilyn sat down next to Zoey and began to munch on an apple from her plate.
"I know… it felt so hopeless before, especially after they blindsided Cam."
"By they you mean…"
"Leshawna? Yeah. I don't think I can ever trust her again."
"But, she did save us last night."
"I get that, but even then she betrayed us before what's stopping her from doing that again."
"Fair, but I think right now we have to trust her. At least for one more vote then we can take charge again!"
"Hopefully you're right, this game is just so tough on the mind."
"Totally agree."
Confessional, Zoey
Marilyn ever since Cameron was voted out has really been a shoulder to lean on. And I seriously needed it. With Courtney now out of the game it feels like I have caught a new wind in this game and I feel like I can make the end
Confessional, Marilyn
I like Zoey… as a friend. And bonding with her can be nothing but good for me because she is such a loyal player that she'll never vote me out and if she's on the jury she'll give me her vote without question.
Across from Zoey and Marilyn, Jasmine and Sky were talking as well about their dire situation.
"You know today is win or go home for us tonight right? There's no one that will consider flipping in that core five I think, they're too tight," Jasmine mused.
"Yeah. We just have to hope we win out and get to the merge at this point. It's the best we can hope for," Sky replied as she examined a piece of burnt toast. "Do you even think we stand a chance at the merge?"
"Maybe if we flip to the Bass side we could survive long enough to regain our bearings and get a foothold on the game."
"It's possible, but Duncan, Scott, and Heather all seem really devious."
"Well they're our only shot right now at the merge. So we're going to have to put up with whatever hierarchy they have in the short term."
"Yeah I guess, hopefully Dave is having fun wherever he is."
"I'm sure he is sheila."
Confessional, Jasmine
It's do or die tonight. Either we lose and I go or we win and it buys myself just a little more time. Hopefully it's the latter.
Confessional, Sky
I know if we lose it's likely Jasmine is gone. Yeah it's not me but numbers going into a possible upcoming merge is huge and I need Jasmine and Shawn here if I want to do anything in this game.
"CAMPERS! Meet me at the dock in the next five minutes for today's challenge!" Chris yelled out through the loudspeakers.
"As the campers left the Mess Hall and arrived at the dock they could see seven different red and blue obstacles that looked like they were straight out of Wipeout. The biggest clue being the big red balls being smack dab in the middle of the course.
"Welcome to your challenge today campes. It is based on the former popular show Wipeout," Chris explained.
"It looks like more of a rip off if anything," Scott joked to Duncan which earned a glare from the host.
"Anyways…." Chris paused before reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone, looking at the screen for a short moment before answering it and putting it to his ear.
"Yes Mr. Milton."
"Seriously?!"
"But it's been dead for years now."
"Fine whatever. I'll take care of it."
"Yes ."
"Yes she's doing great ."
"Alright I'll be seeing you at next week's meeting." Chris hung up the phone and put it back into his pants pocket before turning back to the contestants.
"What was that about?" Trent asked.
"Dakota's father is a majority owner of the show and company now… so basically he's my boss," Chirs explained. "Anyways cut to my confessional."
Confessional, Chris
We at Total Drama and Fresh TV would like to thank Wipeout and ABC for sponsoring this episode of Total Drama Island. You can watch the reboot of Wipeout on ABC next month at 7 P.M. eastern time.
"Now to actually explain your guys' challenge today. It's a team vs team Wipeout race. Seven of you from each team will be competing in this challenge. Like a relay race you'll work to complete each obstacle. Once you complete each obstacle tag your next teammate so they can go. First team to finish wins. Gophers since I'm nice you guys can choose who sits out," Chris explained.
After a quick discussion Scarlett raised her hand. "I'll be sitting out Chris."
"Alright Scarlett will be sitting out, everyone take your positions."
Confessional, Scott
I used to watch Wipeout as a kid. It was so fun watching people… well wipeout and look like idiots.
Duncan and Ryan glared at each other as they lined up close to the starting line. On either side of them were identical sideways sweepers sure to knock them out. Duncan looked past the sweepers where Scott was waiting. "You're going down," Duncan glared at Ryan.
"This isn't a run from the cops," Ryan snarked. "I was on the football team, I know a thing or two about dodging sweepers."
"Hah, child's play," Duncan retorted.
Before Ryan could bite back Chris blew the airhorn and Duncan sprinted over the first sweeper. "Damnit," Ryan said as he jumped over the bar.
The two boys seemed neck and neck as they reached the first quarter checkpoint. Duncan stopped to catch a breath only to have his feet dragged from under him. Ryan hesitated before he too met the same fate.
"It's okay Ryan!" Trent called out.
"No it isn't Ryan!" Scott taunted.
Duncan and Ryan climbed up their ladder back to the first checkpoint before they took a mad sprint through the next half of the obstacle. Finally, they reached the fourth part, where the two paths seemed to converge in a single line. "Child's play," Duncan said cockily.
Duncan dashed ahead of Ryan to the middle of the track. As he called out to Scott to get ready, Ryan charged forward, jumping over the bar and tackling Duncan forward. Before either of the two boys hit the water, Duncan was able to barely graze Scott's hands. "THAT COUNTS AND SCOTT IS GOOD TO GO!" Chris called out. "RYAN STILL HAS TO GO BACK TO THE LAST CHECKPOINT!
Confessional, Duncan
Hah, screw you Ryan. You may be the athlete but I've got the experience. Hahahaha.
Scott dashed towards the obstacle dubbed the Sucker Punch. A wall filled with robotic arms covered with boxing gloves. Punching at alternating times, if you step at the wrong time you'll get a mean knuckle sandwich to the face.
Scott grabbing onto the handholds of the wall began to move sideways on the wall attempting to dodge, dip, duck, dive, and dodge the red glove cladded mechanical arms. At around halfway across the wall Rtan managed to tag Trent so he could go.
"TRENT IS CLEAR TO GO!" Chris shouted as Scott made his way across the last bit of the wall.
Scott looked behind him to see Trent starting his way on the sucker punch. His brief look back was enough to send a gloved piston into the back of his head and to send the farmboy spiraling into the mud. "Ooh," Trent winced as he avoided seven gloves in quick succession. Trent placed a foot on the first break platform before a boxing glove whacked him in the kiwis.
"Hah," Scott chuckled as he climbed up the ladder of the second break point. Once he got up he calmed himself. "Okay, just like Pappy said." Scott took a deep breath before he ran across, screaming all the way as he avoided every single glove.
"AND ZOEY IS GOOD TO GO!" Chris called.
Confessional, Scott
They made it look so funny on the ol' television. Guess that's the magic of editing for you.
Zoey took her turn on the Tumbling Tables. This obstacle was on a timer that would make it switch from leaning left to right and vice versa every so often. On the table-like platform there were three sets of walls for the campers to hold onto and to get around. There were two of these said tables for Zoey to get past.
"To whoever is out there wish me luck," Zoey mumbled under her breath before jumping onto the obstacle and grasping the wall. The table would shift back and forth causing Zoey to lose her balance multiple times but she held onto the wall which kept her from falling off.
Trent eventually made his way past the Sucker Punch and tagged Jasmine so she could join Zoey on the third obstacle. "JASMINE IS CLEARED TO GO!" Chris yelled.
Jasmine jumped onto the table next to Zoey who had yet to move ever since she had been on the obstacle.
Confessional, Jasmine
I've said this before I'll say it again. I know my head is on the chopping block if we lose. So I knew I had to pull out all the stops to win today.
Jasmine managed to hop the first wall as if it were a criminal hopping a fence to escape the police. Jasmine now was ahead of Zoey and was developing a rhythm hopping the next two walls and then transitioning to the next table. Meanwhile Zoey had finally started to move, shifting herself around the first wall and throwing herself into the second wall and had begun shifting her feet around that.
Jasmine continued the same pattern through the second table eventually reaching the next platform and tagging Shawn so he could attempt the famous Big Red Balls. Four red rubber balls sitting on top of four posts that get progressively shorter as you progress through the obstacle.
"SHAWN CAN START ON THE BIG RED BALLS!" Chris shouted.
As Shawn jumped onto the first ball bouncing off and face planting into the second one landing into the clear water below, Zoey was shifting her way through the second table in an attempt to catch up to the Gophers and Shawn.
Shawn had managed to get back to the start again before Zoey could reach the end of her obstacle. Giving the balls another shot he began to take them slow. Landing on the first one and going on his hands and knees to stabilize himself. He managed to stand up just long enough to jump to the second ball and do the same thing as he did before on the first ball. It was at this point that Zoey managed to complete the Turning Tables and tagged Jackson.
"JACKSON IS GOOD TO TAKE ON THE BIG RED BALLS!" Chris yelled.
Confessional, Jackson
Why am I stuck with the dumbest obstacle?
Jackson stood at the start for a second wondering if he should try and knock Shawn off or wait for him. Eventually he made up his mind and went for it. He strided his way out and went to tackle Shawn off of his ball forcing both him and Shawn to swim back to the start taking away the Gopher's lead on the Bass. The pair swam back to the ladder and reached at the same time. Jackson shoved Shawn out of the way and managed to climb the latter first.
Confessional, Shawn
I'm starting to think Jackson dropping Scott into the piranhas during the trust challenge wasn't a mistake.
Jackson once again used his height to his advantage, striding out with his long legs to practically walk across the Big Red Balls to tag Heather so she could begin on the fifth obstacle on the course. Shawn seeing how speed worked for Jackson attempted to use his tactic but because of his shorter stature he once again face planted into the Big Red Balls.
"HEATHER IS GOOD TO GO!"
The queen bee dashed up to the start of the segmented walkway. There was only one this time, so a plan began brewing in her mind. Four large hoops rotated from the middle of the walkway and it seemed like she was going to have to time it just right. She took a step, a hesitant step, before backing away hesitantly. "Not the right time, I am so going to need a pedicure after this show."
Meanwhile, Shawn climbed up on the big red balls and prepared a second jump. THe zombie nut jumped on one of them just as it rose a little higher. Somehow, he flew high in the sky and landed in the mud, causing a splash that hit Heather.
Confessional, Heather
I am going to sue the pants off of that Zombie Freak!
Realizing that there was no way that her plan could get into motion, Heather stepped onto the platform with another shaky leg. Steadying herself with her arms outstretched, Heather ran through the first two hoops. "Hoop earrings are so ugly anyway," she retorted as she hit the midway checkpoint. Before she could run again the outside of the hoop whacked her on the back, sending her into the water.
Just as Heather hit the water, Shawn had finally tagged Sammy. "SAMMY IS GOOD TO GO!"
"Don't fail me now cheerleading," Sammy reassured herself. She practically pranced over the first two hoops, taking a quick breath in the middle before she prepared herself to jump through the next two. She took a leap in the air…
And fell face first. Heather had grabbed onto her ankles and ran over her. "I picked the wrong day to wear heels," Heather noted.
"Yeah I can tell," Sammy said, rolling out of Heather's way. Once Sammy finally got her bearings straight she saw Heather make it to the end.
"Go girl!" Heather pushed Leshawna. The powerful girl, not paying attention, lost her balance and landed face first in the water, sinking slowly. "Sorry," Heather genuinely winced.
Confessional, Leshawna
She's making it really hard not to pop her head like a pimple! Now that I'm allies with Jackson I hope he lets me use his machete…. Calm down Leshawna, you like Heather now… just relax. Breath in and out, in and out.
Just as Leshawna made it back onto the start platform, Sammy tagged Brick with equal force that Heather had. Surprised, the Cadet nearly fell over, only to be stopped when Sammy grabbed his hands tightly. The two pulled each other together and breathed tightly. "Thanks Sammy," Brick smiled.
"Anytime soldier," Sammy matched his smile.
"Make out later, get out the way," Heather snarled, pushing the two of them in the water as she made her way off the obstacle course.
Finally gathering her bearings Leshawna took her first real attempt at wrecking ball ally which was a long catwalk filled with four balls suspended by chains that swung back and forth. Leshawna slowly crawled her way across at an extremely slow pace attempting to evade each wrecking ball. She managed to get past the first few wrecking balls before Brick finally returned to the platform.
Confessional, Brick
I don't consider myself… athletically gifted. But when it's all on the line. Sometimes you do things you never thought possible.
Brick sprinted across the platform evading the wrecking balls and eventually actually leaping over a crawling Leshawna who had just passed the final wrecking ball meaning that the challenge would come down to the final runners, Maralyn and Sky.
The final obstacle. Formally known on the show as the "Pitch Fork" a shaky black polyester fabric that looked to be at most five feet wide stretched from platform to platform with two rotating objects in between. Each pitchfork had two red prongs, the first one was rotating clockwise while the second was rotating counter clockwise. Marilyn and Sky had arrived at said obstacle at the same time thanks to Leshawna's floundering in the previous obstacle. Marilyn went first on the obstacle and dove threw the first pitchfork with ease however she was immediately stuck on the second.
Sky like, Marilyn dove through the first obstacle with ease. However now she was stuck behind her fellow athlete. Sky knowing she needed to win in order to save her alliance attempted to dive over Marilyn but unluckily for her, she collided with one of the forks falling down as her ankle collided with the base of the machine as she fell. Sky floated to shore grasping her ankle in pain.
Meanwhile Marilyn had crawled under the fork, using the malleability of the fabric to lower herself below the obstacle and crawl under it allowing herself to complete the course giving the Bass the win.
"KILLER BASS WIN THE CHALLENGE!" Chris announced.
"Chris!" Sky shouted. "I need medical to look at me. I think I broke my ankle."
"Get Milton's staff over here and look at it!" Chris yelled.
Confessional, Chris
Originally our only somewhat medical savvy person was Chef. But after Dakota's father started investing in the show he gave us some snazzy medical teams for situations like this.
The staff placed Sky on a stretcher near the body of water and laid her out propping her right leg up in order to look at it.
"What're we looking at here doc?" Chris asked a shorter hispanic woman with dark black hair that wore an army green collared shirt tucked into a pair of khaki pants with a brown leather belt holding them up.
"Her ankle is clearly broken… and we'll be forced to pull her from the game," The doctor replied.
"WAIT! Are you serious?!" Sky stated, completely in shock.
"Sadly I am. We'll have to get to a hospital as soon as possible."
"So she's out of the competition for good?" Chris asked the doctor.
"Correct. We'll give you a moment to say goodbye to your teammates," The doctor said.
As the Gophers walked up to their fallen teammate to say their goodbyes, Sky smiled as she waved to them.
"What's the matter sheila?" Jasmine asked her friend.
"I broke my ankle. They're pulling me from the competition."
"Seriously? No you don't deserve to go. Not like this," Sammy responded.
"Yeah. You should be eliminated in a more honorable way than this," Brick added.
"It's alright guys. That's the way life rolls. But kick butt for me. See you all on the other side."
The camera cut away from the touching scene to Chris's… nice face to him to announce the winner. "With that the Bass win the challenge, however since we had planned for a thirteen person merge we'll be sending the Gophers to elimination anyways. I don't care what you guys think but it's happening so get to scrambling."
"Seriously Chris!?" Ryan yelled.
"Yes Ryan. I'm serious."
Confessional, Jasmine
CHRIS-
Confessional, Shawn
-CAN-
Confessional, Ryan
-GO-
Confessional, Sammy
-SCREW-
Confessional, Trent
-HIMSELF!
Confessional, Scarlett
Everyone hates Chris. But everything is opportunity. So I'll be taking this opportunity to get myself one step closer to the million.
After Challenge
Confessional, Ryan
This was supposed to be an easy vote for Jasmine if we lost. However I want to put myself into a power position come the merge. I need to pull some strings. And by strings I need a lot of strings to pull this off.
"Hey Brick, you're good with voting Jasmine out tonight right?" Ryan asked walking up to Brick who was doing a set of pushups on the side of the cabin.
"I don't like it but I understand it's the game I signed up for," Brick stated pausing his pushups to stand up and face Ryan.
"Is that a yes?"
"Yeah."
"Alright. I'm trying to keep Scarlett from pulling any shenanigans tonight."
"Why would she? Chris said merge is tomorrow."
"She's smart. Arrogant but smart. I wouldn't put it past her to use Jasmine and Shawn this vote."
"Don't worry Sammy and I will stick with you."
"Thanks for the reassurance. I would be lying if I said I wasn't paranoid at all."
"Don't worry, this game is stressful. You're just having a natural reaction."
"Thanks man, I appreciate it."
"Hey that's what friends are for."
Confessional, Brick
Like my commander said, you have to keep faith with your crew and your platoon. It's hard when a game forces you to turn on your team everytime you lose but Trent and Ryan are my crew. And Sammy, she's definitely my Crew.
"Look Shawn it's you or me tonight and it's most likely me," Jasmine stated to the zombie nerd as they sat next to each other in the Mess Hall.
"Is there anyway at all we could flip any of them to our side? We only need two of them," Shawn mused.
"Well there's Ryan and Trent who openly don't like Scarlett. Especially Trent. And there's Brick and Sammy who are both too loyal for their own good."
"We've gone down the Sammy road before and it burned us. Maybe with the merge tomorrow Trent and Ryan will flip to our side."
"I think it's definitely possible. As a wise man once said, you miss all the shots you don't take."
"Ryan and I, I think have a better relationship than Trent and I do, so maybe I talk to Ryan and you talk to Trent."
"Yeah that could work. We both have a great disdain for our red headed foe so I could make that work."
"Sounds like a plan Jas."
Confessional, Shawn
Jasmine is going to work Trent, but if he doesn't flip we should try someone else. Ryan and I get along well so if I can get him to flip that'd be great.
"Hey Sammy can I talk to you?" Ryan asked the cheerleader jogging up to her as she strolled through the forest.
"Yeah what's up Ryan?" Sammy asked pausing to lean against a tree, her arms crossed.
"I wanted to confirm that you were voting Jasmine tonight."
"Yeah, I don't like it, but I've been with you guys this long so I've got reason to go back on my word at this point."
"Sounds good. Just wanted to confirm. I don't know a wave of paranoia washed over me because of what happened at the challenge."
"What do you mean?"
"I mean I just think that Scarlett may try and pull something since we know when the merge is."
"I mean I think that's fair to say of everyone. We all made it this far for a reason."
"You're right. No one here is really slouch when it comes to the game." They stared at each other for a moment before Ryan waved goodbye to Sammy, as he left Sammy stood there pondering their conversation.
Confessional, Sammy
I'm not sure I'm buying everything Ryan is selling. But I've gone this long with them so one more vote should be good.
Confessional, Ryan
Two people down. Two people left. If I pull this off I'll be considered a great. If I fail I'll be the Erik or JT of Total Drama.
Confessional, Jasmine
I know Trent for a fact hates Scarlett. And merge is for sure around the corner. So my goal is to try and get Trent to flip and vote her out tonight. It's my only hope.
Jasmine walked around the campsite making sure no one would see her talking to Trent as she wanted to keep this conversation secret. As Trent left his cabin Jasmine grabbed his arm and dragged him behind the cabin to talk.
"Hey woah what're you doing?" Trent asked both dazed and confused.
"I wanted to talk to you without being seen," Jasmine replied.
"Without being seen? Why?"
"If Scarlett sees me talking to you she'll sense something is up and may try and pull a fast one on you.
"Pull a fast one on me? I know she's evil but why betray an alliance member over a conversation.?"
"Because that's who Scarlett is as a person. She runs off paranoia."
"How do you mean?"
"I mean she feeds off her own paranoia which is a blessing and a curse. If she suspects anything she'll flip all the votes on to that person whether they're guilty or not."
"You make some valid points. And I've been wanting her out for a while. If you guys get one more on board I'm in."
"Deal."
Confessional, Trent
I need to check in with Ryan on this move, but it's one I seriously want to make now rather than later.
Ryan had pulled Scarlett to the side of the cabin, a popular spot for conversations and Trent was walking out from behind the cabin pondering what he had just heard when seeing Ryan and Scarlett brought him to the present.
"Oh hey Trent, you need to hear this too," Ryan started.
"What were you doing behind the cabin?" Scarlett asked.
"I was on a walk," Trent lied. "Anyways, Ryan what were you saying,"
"I think we should flip the script."
"How do you mean?" Scarlett raised a brow and looked around the cabin for any potential eavesdroppers.
"I think we should target Sammy," said Ryan.
There was a pause before Trent spoke. "Do you think we can get a majority? Brick won't vote for her and I don't think Jasmine or Shawn will until Scarlett is gone."
"I don't think we need a true majority," Ryan replied.
Scarlett's mouth dropped open slightly as she nodded. "Brick and Sammy will vote Jasmine, Jasmine and Shawn will vote you me, and we vote Sammy. So Sammy goes three to two to two," Scarlett connected.
"That is both risky and brilliant," Trent said.
"Exactly what I was thinking," Ryan continued. "But we need to keep up the facade."
"Yeah… What about Brick? He'll surely be angry," Scarlett noted.
"I think we can lie and say Scarlett had us vote Shawn last minute and then Jasmine and Shawn likely voted for Sammy."
"The risk is extremely high. But the payoff could be even bigger if we manage to to bring in some disgruntled Bass members," Scarlett mused.
"That's my point. It's a huge move and could put us in a powerful position."
"Then let's do it," Trent agreed.
"She won't know what hit her," Scarlett chuckled.
Confessional, Scarlett
Cut Sammy? Hmm. It's intriguing. But as intriguing as it is Sammy is a number for me right now that I don't feel comfortable in getting rid of. It's an idea I'll have to ponder for the time being.
Confessional, Trent
I know Sammy is the target and we have a plan. But, I'm seriously considering voting out Scarlett tonight despite my best interest.
Confessional, Ryan
This move is extremely risky. If I pull this off I put myself and Trent in a power position to run the game. If this blows up in my face… we lose Brick and we get picked off one by one. And that is a reality I seriously don't want.
As Ryan was walking towards his cabin to relax, Shawn waved him down causing Ryan to stop and wait for him.
"Hey Ryan I wanted to talk to you about the vote tonight," Shawn said.
"What about it?" Ryan asked.
"Well how comfortable are you… getting rid of Scarlett?"
"If I'm being honest… very."
"Would you want to make that move tonight?"
"I'd definitely consider it, but as much as Scarlett's personality is as dry as a desert she does at least provide a shield going into the merger."
"I can't fault your logic there. But I think it'd be more rewarding to get rid of her one before the merge."
"True. But we're going into the merge down seven to six in numbers. If we can't flip anyone we at least buy ourselves sometime with Scarlett."
Shawn paused for a moment, "Be straight we me Ryan, is it me or Jasmine tonight?"
"If I get my way both of you stay tonight. With that being said I have no clue how the votes fall. Chris sending us to elimination sent us all in a panic."
"Can't say I disagree, but who are you voting for?"
"Between you and I… I'm voting Sammy, but don't tell Jasmine."
"Of course."
"If you two vote Scarlett it'll be either her or Sammy tonight but I don't know who."
"Ryan I'm not stupid I know Brick and Sammy aren't voting Sammy."
"I know that, but you have to see from my point of view that this is my best move."
"I know that and respect it. I'll be honest Ryan I'm willing to vote Sammy with you."
"But wouldn't you betray Jasmine's trust?"
"Jasmine likes Sammy, but she doesn't trust her. I know I'll be betraying Jasmine's wishes but I think your idea is more likely to work after all the times we've tried to out Scarlett."
"Shawn I know you're taking a big chance. If this all works out I'll take you as far as I can."
"It's a deal Ryan."
Confessional, Shawn
I'm taking a massive gamble here. But after the last fifty times I've tried voting Scarlett out, I think it's high time I make a switch.
Elimination Ceremony
"Well Gophers. To say this was a rough day for you guys is putting it lightly. You lose arguably your most athletic player to injury and you'll be voting yet another out tonight. On the bright side, the merge is tomorrow. So perhaps losing Sky isn't the worst thing in the world given her dominance in physical challenges. With that being said, once you are voted out you'll head to the boat of losers never to return to this island again," Chris explained.
"First safe… Ryan."
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Next safe is Trent."
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Shawn is also safe."
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"And Brick you are safe. The rest of you received some votes tonight. And it was an extremely close vote." Scarlett and Jasmine looked unsurprised but Sammy's eyes were as wide as saucers, knees weak, arms were heavy but there wasn't any vomit on her shirt yet. But she felt as though she could vomit.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"Scarlett... you are safe." No fewer than three jaws dropped as Scarlett smugly made her way up to the marshmallow, feeling the sweet in her hands before she bit down on it, smiling all the while. Jasmine and Sammy stared at each other, panic between them rising to a boiling point.
.
.
.
.
.
.
.
"And the fifteenth person eliminated from Total Drama Island and the final pre juror is… Sammy."
Jasmine looked at Sammy, looked at the fire, looked at Chris, and grabbed her marshmallow.
"Wow… just wow," Sammy stated, stunned. "I can't say I saw this coming. But I have to say you guys did a great job blinding me." Sammy then turned to Brick who appeared to have a tear in his eye as he stared at his crush. "Brick… I hate to have to leave you… and I truly enjoyed my time with you… but I guess it wasn't meant to be."
"But, what about outside the game?" Brick asked the blonde cheerleader.
"I think or at least I hope we can make that work," Sammy said holding Brick's hand. "My sister… may try to prevent us…" Brick all of a sudden kissed Sammy square on the lips stopping her from talking. Sammy closed her eyes and leaned into the kiss. After a moment they separated.
"I don't care what your sister has to say," Brick stated. "It's your life. You do what you want to do, not what your sister wants to do."
"I-I… thank you Brick… I needed that. And I hope we can… maybe… you know, date outside the game?" Sammy wondered, causing Brick to turn as bright red.
"O-Of course Sammy, I'd want nothing more." Brick smiled.
"And to the rest of you, I can say I truly do like all of you. Shawn and Jasmine, I do truly love both of you as people and looking back I wish I did vote with you guys when Tem went, but hindsight is twenty twenty sadly. Ryan and Trent, you two guys are great and fun to be around and I hope you guys make a deep run in this game as well. But, Scarlett I stayed loyal to you through thick and thin and yet you still decided to blindside me just before a possible merge. You are the snake people claim you to be and I don't know who you convinced to vote with you but I hope they stab you in the back like you did me."
"Hey it's a half hour show Sammy, let's go!" Chris called out.
"Whatever Chris." Sammy brushed off the host's concerns. "I wish you all the best, and I hope a Gopher does win in the end. Good luck all."
"Wish you the best Sammy." Shawn waved.
"Love you Sammy mate," Jasmine added.
The Gophers sans Jasmine waved goodbye to the blonde cheerleader as she boarded the Boat of Losers.
Final Confessional, Sky
I like to win, I hate to lose, but I hate it even more going out like this. At the very least I don't have any votes against me, so that means they like me, right? Well, I'm going to need to talk to Keith very, very soon, but I'm glad that Dave and I are a thing. I enjoyed kicking sweet Bass Butt in challenges. I'd love for Jasmine or Shawn to win, but with how the cards have been lying, I'm not sure where they're going to lie. As much as I want to tell Scarlett and Heather to go suck a railroad spike, that's not good sportsmanship. I wish them and all the rest the best.
Final Confessional, Sammy
Well, I made it this far, I can't say I'm disappointed. If it weren't for Sky going out I'd be here, but it's not like I can blame her. She's a fighter, she'll heal up nicely. Things happen. Who do I want to win? Brick, duh! He's a pure soul with good connections and has the cutest butt there is! What would I do differently? Well, I'd save Tem over Scarlett, I need to apologize to her about that. She was a nice gal. Amy, if you're watching, let's see you do better. This game is harder than it looks, and now I can finally say
Fuck you Amy.
Votes
Ryan: Sammy you're a great person. But you are way too big of a threat to keep around
Jasmine: Please to the koalas of Australia send Scarlett out.
Shawn: Sammy I'm taking a gamble right now in trusting Ryan but I think this is my best bet to save Jasmine
Scarlett: Sammy I was going to take you to the end. But you got too close to Brick so I think it's time I cut you
Trent: Scarlett this vote isn't strategic it's strictly personal
Brick: Sorry Jasmine but you're not in my alliance and you're a big threat
Sammy: Sorry Jasmine but I guess I chose my side.
A/N Sorry for the delay in upload. We'll be taking a short break in uploading for the time being to prepare some more premade episodes so we can get back on schedule. Thank you all for the support.
Reviews
GucciManeLaflare: Yep I think most anything is better than what Courtney got, and we'll see what happens at the merge now.
LordGemini: I mean I'm a teenager and I'd do what Leshawna is doing haha, but technically Zoey voted Scott as she wants nothing to do with either side of Leshawna/Heather or Duncan/Scott.
TheHIddenAuthor5000: Hopefully this story becomes a 10/10 for you soon. We'll see if your dots connect
Nobody245: Courtney was also eliminated fairly here… not by Harold's BS. Leshawna I wouldn't call a total villain, in the terms of TD yes but she's more so her Action self where she played with more strategy than emotion. And to answer your question, merge is at 13 so there you go.
