Chapter Six: Jammin' Jamaica
Chris: [narrating] Previously on Total Drama Encore, the competitors were exposed to a little culture. As a field trip to the Lourve sent them scavenging through the world's most important works of art. Meanwhile, Huckleberry and Snagglepuss spend the majority of their time prancing around Paris, aka the city of love. Meanwhile, what seemed like a victory for Team Fantasy turned into a victory for Team Mink, which set Eva off on a massive tantrum! Scaring not only the other contestants but also her own teammates, including a certain songbird who she sent in tears. [chuckles] It looked like the writing was on the wall for the temperamental beast, but luckily she managed to stay in the game, and instead, it was time for Huckleberry Hound to say au revoir. [in the cockpit with Chef] But now it's time to dump the players into another mystery location. Will they survive? Will the world survive them? Find out right, right now, on Total...Drama...Encore!
[cue theme song, the episode continues]
[scene shows Team Mink inside the First Class section where Colleen and Minerva are seen relaxing on the seats]
Katie: Minerva, I'm back with your drink! [hands her a purple drink] They didn't have any fine wine, so I instead got you grape-
[the mink spits the drink into the human girl's face]
Katie: -juice…
Minerva: Ugh! Don't you know I don't drink that menial…[inhales and then exhales]...what I mean is, ask them to put some rum in it, okay, darling?
Katie: Sure…[walks away, scowling]
Colleen: Well, you can't blame her for having mush in her head.
Minerva: Well, I could have said worse, but it's best not to rattle her cage too much. But between you and me, I'm not particularly fond of her myself.
[static buzzing]
Katie: She spit her drink in my face! The drink I had to get for her! And then she tells me to go and see if they can add rum in it?! I'm not a servant, she should be able to walk a few steps to the bar that isn't even that far away! [sighs] I wish Sadie was still here, she was the only girl I could really talk to, Colleen and Minerva always seem to tune me out whenever I try to speak to them, almost as if I'm some sort of...pet...
[static buzzing]
Katie: [to Loopy] Ugh, can you believe those two? They are legit so nasty!
Loopy: Well, while 'zeir methods may be...unorthodox and 'zey tend to cut me off whenever I have anything to 'zay and…[sighs]...you're right. Even if I squint, I cannot find anything particularly nice to 'zay about 'zem. And I usually have it in me to 'zay something nice about almost everyone.
Katie: Well, maybe we can help each other out. What do you say to...[gets up close to Loopy's ear]...an alliance?
[static buzzing]
Loopy: I do not have a problem with Katie, nor do I particularly have an issue with joining in an alliance, it is 'ze people who she's rallying 'zat is 'ze problem. I don't know what it is, but 'zat Minerva has a rather...straightforward approach of getting people to listen to her. Being 'ze only male on 'ze team, 'zat kinda puts me in a rather tight position between doing what she says and doing what is right…[sighs]...I have never really done well under peer pressure, I just hope it does no come back to bite me later on. [sighs and looks up at the ceiling anxiously]
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to the economy section where Teams Ultimate and Fantasy are seen sitting on opposite sides of each other]
Snagglepuss: [sighs sadly as he reclines]
Ella: I'm very sorry about what happened to Huckleberry last night, but I'm sure he'd want to see you with a bright smile on your face.
Snagglepuss: I suppose you have a point...but it's just not the same without his company…
Eva: Um...speaking of last night...that was...something, wasn't it...hehe...yeah…
Ella: Um, yes...it was...something…
Eva: Yeah...um...listen about what happened yesterday, I just...I was...you see, the thing is that I...ARGH, WORDS!
Ella: Eva, if it makes you feel any better, I would just like to assure you that I don't hold any resentment against you.
Eva: You...you don't?
Ella: Of course I don't. I can tell that you were under a lot of stress from yesterday, even if you really let yourself get carried away, I know that you felt sorry for what you did, hence why I'm giving you a second chance.
[static buzzing]
Eva: [with her hands in a praying position] Oh, thank you! Thank you, thank you!
[static buzzing]
Eva: Well...I'm glad to hear it...still, I've really got some issues to sort out, I just can't help this explosive temper I've got. It's always been a plague I've had to carry for so long now.
Ella: Well, if you'd like, perhaps I can be of assistance in your endeavor. I'd be interested in helping you overcome your adversity. No one deserves to be unhappy, especially not someone as hardworking and as diligent as you. [places her hands on Eva's] Come on, give me a smile, teamie!
Eva: [blushes from the contact and cracks a small smile]
[static buzzing]
Eva: She actually forgave me...and she put her hands on mine…[gasps]...this might be my chance! I mean, she's not one to just turn down someone's affections like that...right? Well, if she's trying to be a princess, then she'll most likely try to find a...prince…[sighs]...what am I saying? She's not gonna go that way, she's probably just pitying me for being such a loser...
[static buzzing]
Sierra: Hehehe, ooooh, fans of Eva and Ella are gonna eat this up when I post it to the Total Drama fansite! I've already given it a ship name, Evella!
Bridgette: Um, not to crush your dreams, Sierra, but how do you know that they're gonna...well, end up like that?
Sierra: Oh, Bridgette, so naive. They're gonna be endgame just like Truster, I can feel it.
Bridgette: Truster? Is that the name for…[looks toward the male members of her team and blushes]...oh…
Tramp: Wait a minute, who says that we're going to be a thing to begin with?!
Buster: Probably when you stop being so damn secretive about whatever you're hiding.
Sierra: Yeah, c'mon, Trampy, you know you've got something you're not telling~
Tramp: [scoffs] What do you want me to say anyway? What, do you want me to say that I'm di-[covers his mouth with his hand]
Buster: What was that? C'mon, finish the sentence. Di...di...d word that rhymes with force? That thing that happens when two things separate? The-
Tramp: Stop it! What I was trying to say was that I'm diiiiiiiiiiiiiivine. Yeah, I feel divine today, absolutely nothing out of the ordinary, okay, we're done talking about this, end of discussion, period!
Buster: Okay, enough fooling around, lemme see what's in that-[reaches for Tramp's pocket, but the Schnauzer grabs his arm]
Tramp: Buster, you reach into my pocket and I will break your arm.
Buster: You let go of my arm before I break yours.
Bridgette: Oh, noooooo…
Buster: I'm tired of you with this secretive bulls**t, stop playin' around!
Tramp: GRRR, I said get your hands off me!
Buster: Tell me what you're hiding, damn it!
Tramp: I'm not telling you anything, bastard!
Buster: [pushes Tramp down to the ground and pins him] Are we gonna have to do this the hard way?!
Tramp: I can take you, no problem!
Buster: Not before I take you!
Intercom: Attention, passengers! As much as I'm sure we'd all love to see Tramp and Buster's wrestling match, we're about to land in Jamaica, mon! So strap yourselves in and prepare for landing!
Buster: This isn't over, ya' know…
[static buzzing]
Sierra: While it might not seem like it at current, I just know those two are gonna end up together by the end of the season, maybe even sooner! To all you Total Drama fans, let's get #Truster trending!
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to the contestants now in their swimwear standing on top of a cliff with waterfalls coming out of their respective tunnels]
Colleen: Hehehe, nice blouse.
Chris: It's a dashiki, mon.
Colleen: More like a woman's dashiki.
Chris: What?!
Buster: Ya' know, if you hadn't pissed me off earlier, I would have said you were packin' back there...ah, what the hell, you've been packin' back there, even after all this time~
Tramp: Ugh, you are so perverted!
Buster: Only for you, sweetcheeks~
Tramp: Stop!
Buster: Sweet-
Tramp: I mean it!
Buster: -cheeks~
Tramp: [blushes out of annoyance and...from admittedly feeling flustered] Hmph!
Chris: I like to call our first challenge...the Treasure Hunt of Death! Your challenge begins with a dive off beautiful "wherever we are" falls into the lagoon far below.
Bridgette: Which I can only presume is full of sharks?
Chris: Nope…
[the contestants sigh with relief]
Chris: ...electric eels and sharks! [off-screen] Players must tag-team dive into the infested waters for as long as you can hold your breath to search the lagoon for pirate treasure! [on-screen] Aka, the gold chains Chef always wears on karaoke night. First team to bring me Chef's treasure wins a major advantage in the next challenge. So...good luck...especially to Team Fantasy. With only three players, you're gonna have to work extra hard to make up for being down a player.
[static buzzing]
Bridgette: If I can handle a dive off the first day at Camp Wawanakwa, I'm pretty sure I can handle this. Plus, I tend to be a lot more flexible in the water.
[static buzzing]
[scene shows Bridgette, Snagglepuss, and Colleen about to jump for their respective teams]
Chris: Ready, steady, Freddy, go!
[Bridgette and Colleen dive off the cliff while Snagglepuss jumps]
Snagglepuss: Ooooooh, heavens to Murgat-[splashes into the water with the two girls]
[scene cuts to underwater where the three contestants are seen scouring through the lagoon floor, but can't seem to find the chains. Colleen is the first to remerge from the water]
Colleen: Oh, bollocks!
Bridgette: Nothing!
Snagglepuss: Not a sighting of anything golden I'm afraid!
[Bridgette runs back up the cliff to tag Sierra]
Sierra: Look out below! [jumps off the cliff and lands with a large splash]
[Colleen tags Katie and Snagglepuss tags Eva]
Minerva: [to Eva] Hmm, you don't exactly have the best form.
Eva: [as Katie jumps] What?! I'll-[trips off the cliff and belly-flops into the water]
Minerva: Nothing personal!
Eva: [growls as she submerges into the water]
Katie: [reemerges from the water] Nothing!
Eva: [reemerges from the water] Gah, stupid chains!
Sierra: No gold! [tags Buster]
Buster: Watch this, girls. [dives off the cliff with precision and splashes into the water]
Katie: [tags Loopy] You're up!
Loopy: Oh cher seigneur veille sur moi! [jumps off the cliff into the water]
Eva: [tags Ella] Be careful out there!
Ella: Not to worry, my dear.
Eva: [blushes as Ella dives daintily off the cliff and into the water]
Buster: [reemerges from the water] Got the chains!
Bridgette: Whoo-hoo!
Sierra: Yay!
Tramp: Um...good work...I suppose…
Chris: Team Ultimate wins round one!
Colleen: Hmph, showoff!
Buster: Not like you've got anything.
Colleen: [scoffs]
Chris: Who will triumph in the next part of the challenge and who's gonna be taking a different kind of fall later this evening? Find out after the break right here on Total...Drama...Encore!
[scene cuts to black, the episode continues]
[scene shows all three teams at the bottom of the cliff on the beach]
Chris: Team Ultimate, as winners of the first challenge, you've also won this advantage for challenge #2. [points to Chef wearing a helmet on his head]
Tramp: What exactly are we gonna need a helmet for?
Chris: Oh, just a little something I like to call...the Bobsled of Death! Ta-da!
[scene cuts to a large and rickety racecourse as the contestants gasp in shock]
Tramp: Are you serious?!
Bridgette: This is crazy!
Katie: It looks scary!
Snagglepuss: Heavens to Murgatroyd, tis a calling of the wooden beast!
Chris: We can't afford bobsleds, so you're gonna ride longboards in teams of two, bobsled style! Down Chef's track and into the pool!
Ella: But...there's no water in that pool.
Chris: Exactly.
Ella: [gulps]
Chris: Each team gets three runs. Fastest total time wins! Ready?
Eva: Hold it, they've got teams of four while we've got a team of only three!
Chris: Guess you'll have to compensate for that little detail.
Snagglepuss: Well, we would have an even number if...Huck was still here…[sighs]...
[Ding, Ding!]
Chris: Oop, you know what that means! And to build on top of this emotionally distressing moment, let's have a little solo from Snagglepuss.
[the music starts as the mountain lion clears his throat]
Snagglepuss: I miss the way, Huck would say hello!
By singing Oh Clementine!
I miss the daylight when Huck would move so slow.
But all the time, he'd make me feel fine!
Oh, Hucky! Oh, Hucky! I...I miss you so!
Oh, my Hucky, my little Hucky! Why'd I ever let you go?
I miss his smile and the way he liked to sing
out in the open when he wanted to-
Which was quite a lot. [laughs]
Oh, I miss the way, he'd always say oh my darling.
And then wrap his arms around me!
Oh, Hucky! Oh, Hucky! I...I miss you so.
Oh, my Hucky, my little Hucky!
Why'd I ever let you go?
Why'd I ever let you go?
[Snagglepuss sighs as Ella puts her hand on his shoulder out of comfort]
[scene cuts to the top of the racecourse where Tramp, Buster, Katie, Loopy, Ella, and Eva are seen about to race for their respective teams]
Buster: So, what say you take the front and I'll take the behind?
Tramp: Do not get any ideas!
Buster: Oh, I'll have as many as I like, just to let you know, you can't hide from me forever.
Tramp: I...you're just…[scoffs]
Chris: [sitting in a deck chair at the bottom] Round one, Team Ultimate! Ready?! [presses a button on the megaphone which causes a siren to sound]
[Buster pushes them off and the two canines race down the rickety racecourse, racing up and down the slopes and swirling around the loops before coming to an abrupt stop in the empty pool, Buster landing on top of Tramp]
Chris: 47.36 seconds is the time to beat! Team Mink!
Katie: Ooooh, I'm not so sure about this…
Loopy: I suppose we'll have to rely on luck. Ready!
[the siren sounds and Loopy pushes them off, down the racecourse and finally ending up in a pile in the empty pool]
Chris: 58.49 seconds! Team Ultimate still leads by a healthy margin! Team Fantasy!
Eva: You alright back there?
Ella: I'll be fine, I assure you.
[the siren sounds and Eva pushes them off, down the racecourse and finally ending up on the edge of the pool]
Eva: Hmph, not a scratch.
Chris: 45.01 seconds! We have a new leader! Team Fantasy takes round one!
Colleen: Oi, we're all here now! Ya' don't need to keep usin' that!
Chris: Maybe I just like it! Round two!
[scene cuts to Bridgette, Sierra, Colleen, Minerva, Ella, and Snagglepuss about to race for their respective teams]
Bridgette: This does not look safe! Like, this can't possibly be legal!
Sierra: You'd be surprised at the loopholes Chris manages to get through with his lawyers.
[Bridgette's face contorts into a look of disbelief as the siren sounds and Sierra pushes them off, sending the two girls screaming through the racecourse until they land in the pool with a hard thump]
Chris: Let's hear it for the helmets, people! Team Ultimate comes at 56.28, better than Mink's first run, but not by much. Team Mink!
[scene cuts to Colleen and Minerva screaming as they race through the obstacle course before ending up in a heap in the pool]
Chris: 55.16 for Mink. It'll take a miracle to get out of last place now. Team Fantasy, ready?
Ella: Ready!
[the siren sounds and Snagglepuss pushes them off, down the racecourse and finally ending up on the edge of the pool]
Snagglepuss: Haha, marvelous!
Chris: 44.37! Team Fantasy beats their own high score and widens their lead even further! Round three!
[scene cuts to Buster, Sierra, Katie, Minerva, Eva, and Snagglepuss about to race for their respective teams]
Chris: Team Ultimate, ready?!
Sierra: It all comes down to us! Team Ultimate for the win! Ready!
[the siren sounds and Sierra pushes them off, down the racecourse and finally ending up on the edge of the pool]
Chris: 53.41 for a three-run combined total of...two minutes and thirty-seven seconds! Good, but will it be good enough?
[scene cuts back to the top of the racecourse]
Katie: You know, I've been meaning to talk to you about something important.
Minerva: Whatever it is, it'll have to wait.
Katie: But you always say that!
Minerva: Ready!
Katie: What?!
[the siren sounds and Minerva pushes them off and down the racecourse. Halfway across the course, the mink punches down on one of the planks, causing it to spring up as she watches with satisfaction. The two girls finally end up on the base of the pool]
Chris: With 41.09, Team Mink is in first place with a total score of two minutes and thirty-five seconds! Team Fantasy!
Eva: This is it, we'd better not screw this up. Ready back there?
Snagglepuss: As ready as I'll ever be.
Eva: Ready!
[the siren sounds and Eva pushes them off and down the racecourse. Things go smoothly for a time until Eva notices the oncoming plank sticking upward]
Eva: Ooooooh, no!
Snagglepuss: Brace for impact, abandon ship, look out, even!
[the two Team Fantasy members run over the plank and soar through the sky, ending up in a bush]
Chris: Incomplete! Team Minks wins and Team Fantasy gets another trip to the elimination ceremony!
[the members of Team Mink cheer as the members of Team Ultimate sigh in disappointment while Ella watches her teammates return with concern]
[static buzzing]
Eva: Okay, that loose plank was not there before! I smell a rat and it's coming from Team Mink…
[static buzzing]
[scene cuts to black, as the Elimination Ceremony]
Chris: I have two bags filled with the finest peanuts never to be handed out on commercial planes due to allergy-induced lawsuits. Time to vote who gets 'em!
[static buzzing]
[scene shows a three-way split scene with Eva, Ella, and Snagglepuss stamping a passport]
[static buzzing]
Chris: Okay, the votes are in. Snagglepuss-
Snagglepuss: [gasps happily]
Chris: You may or not have get a bag after I give the first one to Ella!
Ella: Oh! [catches the bag]
Chris: So, the last bag goes to…

Eva: [catches the bag]
Snagglepuss: [catches the parachute and sighs sadly] I suppose if I must….I bid thee farewell and Huckleberry! [jumps out of the plane] I'm coming for yoooooooooooooooooou!
Chris: Looks like Team Fantasy is down to two! What will become of them next? Find out next time on Total...Drama...Encore!
