"Welcome back, to Total Drama Island Revived. Last time, we watched the eliminated contestants give it their all to make it back into the game. Ultimately, Jo would succeed and return to, not her original team, but rather the struggling Doves team, who have contributed to almost half of our eliminations. The game is heating up as more and more campers are eliminated! Will Jo be voted out just as quickly as she was originally, or will she stay for more than two episodes? Will she enact vengeance on those on her former team who got her eliminated? Find out on episode fourteen of Total Drama Island Revived!
The cameras around Camp Wawanakwa popped out of the ground, disturbing the natural wildlife, throwing trash away, and even scaring a couple of interns.
Dear Mom and Dad I'm doin' fine,
You guys are on my mind.
The cameras seemed to fly through the camp where Ryan, Cody, Beardo, Bridgette and Ezekiel were sitting on some rocks talking strategy, while Gwen watched them from a distance and not too far away Duncan, Cameron, Zoey, Dave, Sky and Mike were doing the same, but a silhouette of Anne Maria could be seen in the distance.
You asked me what I wanted to be
Amy and Sammy were battling it out on the row boat which then promptly fell over the waterfall, which showed a scared Cameron attempting to cross until the log plummeted below him.
And now I think the answer is plain to see,
Then the camera zoomed over to the beach to see the BFFL alliance hugging with an angry Jo and a disappointed Amy staring at them.
I wanna be famous.
Then the camera switched to Bridgette and Geoff having their backs turned with anger in their eyes with Topher egging them on, but Geoff then stares over to where Sammy is and his face turns from a bit of discomfort to a bit of happiness.
I wanna live close to the sun,
The scene then switched to Duncan and Courtney exchanging harsh words and waving their arms around, while Sky is trying to make up with Dave but Dave stops her and wraps his arms around her in a hug.
Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,
It was at this point the scene showed a shadowy character speaking to Chris.
Everything to prove, nothing in my way
Rodney was failing miserably to ask out Eva who promptly punched him.
I'll get there one day.
Sam was goofing off in the VR room while Dakota watched amicably.
Cause, I wanna be famous!
Then the scene switches to Dawn and Jasmine chasing down Scott by the cabins, before he falls into a trap set by B who was hiding behind some bushes, then the three give each other multiple high fives while Scarlett stared angrily in the distance.
Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!
Then it switches to the campfire where you can see everyone there and seeing Geoff and Ryan giving an awkward fist bump, while a wary Gwen watched the pair.
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous
It was at this point all of the eliminated campers were shown fading away from the campfire scene, resembling that they have been eliminated.
The saboteur and Chris met up in a non disclosable location.
"Well, it appears you're doing well," Chris greeted the saboteur.
"Get on with it, I personally enjoy my sleep thank you," The saboteur replied.
"Punctual as always. You can have the votes shown to the group, or you can have two pairs from two teams of your choice be swapped at random," Chris explained.
"I'll have the team swap," the saboteur decided.
"Hmm, interesting choice, what teams will swap?" Chris asked.
"I'll have the Rabbits and Giraffes swap players," The saboteur decided after contemplating for a moment.
"Good luck in today's challenge," Chris smiled as the saboteur walked away.
"Yeah, whatever," the saboteur replied.
Confessional, Jo
I'm back, bitches! It's time to enact revenge on those two idiots. Fucking tweedledumb and tweedledee eliminated me, how I don't know. They must have had help, but from who? However, it appears I'm with who is by far the worst team on the island. THEY ONLY HAVE FOUR PEOPLE LEFT! But knowing me, I'll whip this team back into shape.
Over on the girls side of the Doves cabin, Jo was giving Jasmine and Dawn what she would call an inspirational speech, however the other two would call it hell.
"Now listen here, I'll be taking over this team, and you will listen to what I have to say, and you will be following my orders. GOT IT?" Jo exclaimed as she pointed her finger directly at Jasmine's face and then returning to pacing back and forth across the Dove cabin.
"Now…" Jo was immediately stopped when Jasmine grabbed Jo by her sweatshirt and pinned her against the wall.
"Why don't you listen here?!" Jasmine said, snapping. "Our team has been doing just fine and we've been getting along better than a joey in his mama roo's pouch! We don't need a Drongo of a leader!"
"Well, why have you been losing?!"
"That's besides the point!"
Jo stood on her bed and stood eye to eye with the tall Aussie. "The entire point of this competition is to win a million big ones! I can't do it with this team of flabbies, or in Aussie speak, Flahbbiehs!"
"Please calm down," Dawn said just as Jasmine picked up Jo by the scruff of her hoodie. "We are a team, and if we fight then not one of us will get what we want. Is that not obvious?"
Jasmine and Jo looked at the diminutive pixie girl and their eyes slowly grew in fear. Jasmine released her tight grip on Jo and the jockette scurried out. "Our apologies Dawn, good on ya for breaking us up," Jasmine said, rubbing her head.
Confessional, Dawn
I know I said I would talk to Duncan about Courtney, but I haven't been given a chance. I think today is the best day to talk to him. Hopefully I get through to him.
The trio of Dove girls had entered the Mess Hall. Duncan and Brick were both sitting alone at their respective tables, Sadie, Katie, Sammy, and Ella were sitting at their table chatting amongst themselves, and Chef was behind the counter serving what looked to be some oatmeal. Dawn walked over, grabbed her food and took a seat across from Duncan in an attempt to talk to the delinquent.
"What do you want?" Duncan asked, looking up from his lumpy oatmeal.
"I want to talk to you," Dawn stated, picking up her spoon and sticking it inside of her oatmeal.
"About what?" Duncan asked, raising an eyebrow.
"Courtney," Dawn said simply.
"What about her?" Duncan asked, his knuckles turning a noticeable shade of white as he squeezed on his spoon handle.
"She still likes you, and I know you have feelings for her. There's a reason you broke up with Gwen, isn't there," Dawn mused.
"Well, yeah, but I don't have to tell you about it," Duncan said defiantly, crossing his arms.
"You don't need to tell me, it's written all over your aura. You broke up with her because you still had some feelings for Courtney," Dawn explained.
"No, I didn't break up with Gwen because of that," Duncan denied.
"Then why, Duncan? You loved Gwen on World Tour, why break up with her?" Dawn pressed Duncan, already knowing the answer.
"...Fine. I broke up with her because I still liked Courtney, happy," Duncan admitted, throwing his hands up in the air in defeat.
"No. I want you guys back together. Courtney may not admit it, but she still has some feelings for you as well," Dawn said. "She pushed you away and you rebelled. It doesn't excuse the fact that you cheated on her, but Courtney isn't totally innocent either," Dawn continued.
"I know, I messed up big time there. But how can you get us back together?" Duncan asked.
"I've already talked to Courtney and planted the seed, so to speak. DJ is friends with both of you and could help me play the middleman or wing man for you guys," Dawn offered.
"I trust DJ, and I'm willing to go through with this if it gets Courtney and I back together," Duncan smiled.
"You have my word that I will try and make this right between you two, and fix what should never have happened," Dawn smiled. "Now, if you'll excuse me, I feel a blond swimming presence driven by nothing but the pursuit of fleeting popularity." Duncan blinked, and in the time his eyes were closed, Dawn had already taken her seat next to Jasmine.
"What was that about, mate?" Jasmine asked.
"Fraternizing with the enemy, I see," Jo smirked, followed by a stare from Jasmine that shut her up.
"Just trying to fix something that shouldn't have happened, but did because of Chris and his game," Dawn explained.
Confessional, Duncan
If this chick does what I hope she does, well, I don't know what I'd do, but I'd be extremely happy to say the least.
Confessional, Dawn
Step two complete. On to step three.
Confessional, Scott
I'd like to eliminate Sugar in the near future. She's a major threat. Although easily manipulated by her stupidity, she could become extremely volatile if provoked by something like her "rivalry" with Ella last season. Lightning is even dumber, and isn't as volatile as Sugar, making him more valuable to me. And besides, Sugar finished third on her season, meaning she's at least competent enough and strong enough to make it that far. It's time for Sugar to join that stupid wizard at the playa.
Scott was walking to the Mess Hall, thinking about how he was going to eliminate Sugar with as little blood as possible. He knew he would most likely get Lightning to vote for her, but where was he going to get the other two votes needed? He may be able to fool Brick into it, but Leshawna probably wouldn't go for it. He didn't trust Noah at all, the guy was way too smart and would probably flip the vote if he could. That left Eva, and speaking of whom, the Iron Woman was just leaving her cabin for the Mess Hall.
"Hey Eva, could I ask a favor of you," Scott asked as he jogged towards the athlete.
"Depends on the favor, and what I get in return," Eva responded, crossing her arms and staring at the red headed farmer.
"If we by any chance lose, and no, I won't throw the challenge, will I be able to get your help in voting off Sugar?" Scott requested.
"Hmm, she hasn't helped us much. And she finished top three in her original season. Yeah, I'll vote with you," Eva agreed.
"Alright, cool. Thank you Eva," Scott said, jogging away again.
Confessional, Scott
Well, that was easier than expected. Now I need one more vote… Brick is probably my best shot, but even then, I don't know if he'll do it.
Confessional, Eva
I don't trust that rat one bit. If he wants Sugar gone, then that means I want her to stay instead. Scott, your tricks won't work on me. I guess it's time for me to work on my alliances with people. I didn't do so well when I alienated myself and voted out Izzy.
The campers were slowly gathering in the Mess Hall. At Chef's demand, everyone stayed in the Mess Hall until Chris arrived to fill the cast in on what the challenge was. Noah, the last camper to arrive, was quickly followed by Chris, who walked to the front of the Mess Hall to announce the challenge.
"Hello campers! As you all know, Jo has reentered the competition," Chris began. "Now for this challenge, it's a throwback to the talent show of season one. However... it's a singing contest rather than an actual talent contest," Chris continued, earning both cheers and moans from the campers.
"A few rules. At least one of your songs must be from Total Drama World Tour, however you can sing more than one. Three groups will take the stage for each team, and you must have a minimum of two people per performance. Everyone must perform at least once. For those of you who can't sing, you can either beatbox, sing backup, be some form of DJ or mixer, or lastly be a backup dancer along with one other person. Any questions?" Chris explained.
Ella, DJ and Dawn raised their hands, but Chris shot them down pretty quickly, "No, you cannot use animals during the performance. Any other questions?"
"Can we choose what songs we sing?" Courtney asked.
"Yes, although aside from the World Tour songs, we'll have to change the instruments used in the song if we can't legally use it, so we don't get sued. However, that shouldn't matter for the performance at all," Chris explained. "No more questions… good! Now, go to your cabins and decide who sings what."
The five teams had dispersed to their separate cabins to prepare. At the Giraffes cabin, things were relatively smooth sailing.
"Can Beardo and I do a song together eh?" Ezekiel asked the group.
"I don't see anything wrong with that, but what song would you guys do?" Ryan asked the two boys.
"We wanted to do a rap song of some kind," Beardo responded.
"It'll probably be Chris and Chef judging, so try something that appeals to their younger years," Bridgette suggested.
"Why not Gangsta's Paradise by Coolio?" offered Trent. "It's an older song but it's recognizable," Trent explained.
"That'd be cool eh. Beardo, you down for that," Ezekiel asked.
"Sounds good to me," Beardo replied.
"Well, since you guys have your song, you should go and practice. I doubt anyone is at the theater already, so you could probably use that," Cody suggested.
In most circumstances, Cody would be right, but the Rabbits also had a duo ready to go, like the Giraffes did.
"I'm singing Closer by Halsey and the Chainsmokers with Alejandro, and no one is going to stop me, GOT IT," Heather snarled at her team.
"No one is stopping you, Heather, just relax," Justin said, putting his hands up defensively.
"Excellente," Alejandro smirked, curling up behind his girlfriend closely. Heather turned indignantly, but she quickly softened and kissed Alejandro voraciously.
"Quick, go to the stage and practice, I think Ezekiel and Beardo left to go there a minute ago," Sadie hastily suggested.
"Oh, like I'm letting homeschool and boombox get that stage. Let's go, Al," Heather hissed, dragging Alejandro by the ear. He looked in pain, but a small smile on his lips said otherwise.
Confessional, Alejandro
For the record, I wanted to sing Despacito, but Heather wasn't having it… she looks cute when she's angry, doesn't she?
However, in the Birds camp, it wasn't going so smoothly.
"I'm telling you, I ain't singing," Eva complained, crossing her arms in defiance.
"Girl, I will make you sing, because we aren't losing another challenge. We aren't going to turn into the next Team Victory or Doves, got it," Leshawna growled, getting into the face of the Iron Woman.
"I don't give a fuck! I'd rather keep my dignity, thank you," Eva replied.
"Look, soldier. I understand you don't enjoy singing, but for the good of the platoon, please sing. We can't afford to lose another teammate," Brick pleaded.
Eva paused a moment before continuing, choosing her words carefully, "I will only sing backup. I will not be a lead singer, I won't dance, and I won't be doing anything that will embarrass me, GOT IT," Eva demanded.
"Yeah, we got it, muscle head," Noah sarcastically replied. "Anyone have any song ideas," he continued.
"Yeah, Scott, Lightning and I want to sing Meant to be by Florida Georgia Line and Bebe Rehxa," Sugar replied, volunteering her two alliance mates. This earned a smirk from Scott.
Confessional, Scott
If I'm on stage with her, I can sabotage her performance much more easily. And that'll make her the easy choice to go home.
Confessional, Sugar
Aw man, this is goin' to be just great! We'll definitely rock the house! Especially with me bein' the lead singer and all.
"You know Mike, I've heard you rap rather well," Cameron stated. "Do you maybe want to do some kind of rap song?"
"I don't really have one in mind," Mike admitted. "But if there's a good song with a duet and backing vocals, then it's possible."
Cameron and Mike looked towards the direction of the camera. "Do you have any ideas?" Cameron asked.
The camera cut to another feed that was directed to the actual recipient of the question, Zoey. The camera lingered for a bit as Zoey entered a pensive state. "Eminem had that one song, Love the Way You Lie? Didn't he have another one with the same artist?"
"Yeah, I think he did, what was it?" Mike responded.
They looked to Cameron, who shrugged quietly.
"Wait, I remember, it's Monster!" Zoey said excitedly.
"You'll have to fill me in on that," Cameron sheepishly admitted.
"I'm remembering it now, don't worry," Mike reassured him. "I think I know where Zoey's going with this, and we're going to need some props."
Confessional, Cameron
If I infer that Monster is a song about mental instability, I will additionally infer that Duncan, Mike, Zoey, and I will be having a long talk soon.
"I have the perfect idea for the Total Drama song we have to do," Jasmine said. "It can be done as a solo, but I'd rather have someone back me up."
"Well, what do you have in mind?" D.J. asked.
"Since we're allowed to do aftermath songs, I think we can do a song dissing Scott," Jasmine said with a big, beaming smile.
"Forget this!" Jo said frustratedly. "These songs don't mean anything! I'm not a fucking princess! I can't carry a tune for the fucking life of me!"
She stormed off, and B decided to chase after her, an idea surfacing in his mind.
"So, what was your idea, Jasmine?" Dawn asked.
Confessional, Dawn
Hehehehheheehehehehehehehehhe….. (echoes)
Anne Maria walked up to a practicing Sky and Dave with a confident stride. "So, I was thinking that the three of us could do the Total Drama song and leave Mister and Missus bicker bitch to their own awkward love song. What do you think?"
Sky and Dave looked to each other with a blank look on their faces. "Actually, Anne," Sky started. "Dave and I were planning to sing 'Don't Go Breaking My Heart' for the contest."
"That old song for every teenage romance?" Anne Maria asked with a wrinkled nose.
"I don't know many songs," Dave said sadly. "This is one that Sky and I both know. And I was a big fan of Ella Enchanted."
"Well, I guess I'll work with the bicker bastards then. Good luck, guys," Anne Maria said, spraying her hair again. Sky and Dave coughed as Anne Maria turned the corner.
"So, do you get the song now?" Justin asked.
"Now I do," Owen said. "It's not Mice Girls, it's My Girl!"
"How did you go most of your life thinking that?"
"Well, it started when I was six years old. I had a set of six blind mice and my father really didn't like them. He wanted me to get rid of them, so he made me a fine plate of nacho cheese…"
Confessional, Justin
How long does it take to GET TO THE POINT WITH OWEN?! I DID NOT NEED TO KNOW THE DETAILS OF WHY HIS DOG HUMPED THAT DIAPER! (Throws up)
"...so I'm going to take a break," Justin declared. "And wash out my ears," he added in a small voice. "I'll come back with some lozenges to help us loosen up."
While Justin turned the corner, Anne Maria was turning the same corner, hunting for the two bickering bastards. They bumped into each other and stabilized each other with a steady grip. "Sorry, beautiful," Justin said.
"Oh, pardon me, mister perfect," Anne Maria said with an uncharacteristic blush. "Where's a hot guy like you going?"
"Taking a break from Owen and his stories. If you can believe it, they reek worse than his farts," Justin said snidely. Anne Maria's surprisingly soft laughter caused the model to laugh a heavenly laugh. Then, the tension rose between them and Anne Maria steeled herself once more. "What are you up to?"
"I'm looking for Duncan and Courtney before Duncan loses his dick."
"Bold of you to assume that Courtney won't snap her own neck before she has to deal with Duncan," Justin replied.
"You and I both know that boy is pussy whipped. Well, it's been fun, but I really have to go. But don't think that we aren't talking after this challenge."
"Good luck on your hunt," Justin said with a wink.
Confessional, Anne Maria
All those bitches didn't think I could pull a hot guy like Justin to my side! I just know that the two of us will make a home run in record time. It's weird of me to say, but I want to take it slow this time, just enjoy all the time with Mister Perfect that I can...
BUT THIS IS CHALLENGE TIME, BITCH!
Ella dropped from a catwalk with a balloon on her back, singing Sierra's parts in the song. She held her arms out for Sammy and the cheerleader fell into her arms with a large smile. "Our fortune's waiting, they can kiss it all bye bye bye!" They both sang.
Katie and Sadie danced their parts of their tango, only getting to the lyric "You are the worst," before they both abruptly stopped. "I'm sorry, Katie! I don't mean it!" Sadie babbled.
"I didn't mean it either!" Katie apologized.
"Okay, cut," Sammy said, a little bit annoyed. "If we're going to do this, maybe Ella and I can be Alejandro and Heather."
"No way," Katie said. "You two are too nice! And it just takes a little bit more practice! I won't insult Sadie to the point of making her cry like usual!"
"You said that would be secret!"
Confessional, Sammy
Why did I agree to be in this alliance again?
"My momma loves this song! But I think you have a better voice that would fit this song more than mine," DJ explained. "I bet you've heard this one, haven't you?"
"Most modern music escapes me," Dawn said sadly.
"Well, this is pretty old, so if you're an old soul, then this would work. It's a calming, mellow song about optimism and the rain being gone."
"That sounds like my kind of song. Can I just see the lyrics?" Dawn asked. While she was looking at them, she called Jasmine over. "So, I take it that I'll have to dance, too? Where are we going to get the props?"
"I just figured I'd get some bits of food and paint them with something or other," Jasmine said dismissively.
"Why not use those?" Dawn pointed over to five hundred paintings of the campers. "From the Aftermath episodes," Dawn explained.
"Right, well, it'll work."
"Okay I guess I'll practice my dancing while I look at these lyrics," Dawn said.
As Jasmine walked away, the trees seemed to sway with every step she took, whilst the grass seemed to let out an ethereal hum. Out of the corner of her eye, she swore that she saw a little pink ball of fluff land on her shoulder. When she swatted it away, she turned to see Dawn apologizing profusely as she seemed to float some five feet above the ground. "I won't use that dance move, don't worry."
Confessional, Jasmine
(checks her pulse) Okay, I'm still alive.
(puts a hand on her forehead) Not a fever dream.
This island's weirder than Uluru...
"Now that Anne Maria is here, she can finally choose a side!" Courtney said irately. "Duncan thinks we can do Boyfriend Kisser and I think we can do I'm Winning This."
"...not the Amazon song?"
"NO!" Courtney and Duncan shouted.
"Okay, listen here, you annoying orange, we let you join us, not the other way around," Duncan sniped.
"Don't blame me for this!" Anne Maria said with a huff, punching Duncan square in his neck. "Anyway, I'll be willing to provide the backing track and effects, if I can do that."
Courtney, watching a hacking Duncan as he regained his breath, said with a smile, "I think that can be arranged."
Confessional, Courtney
Duncan looks cute when he's distressed…
I guess I just said that.
Confessional, Duncan
...whatever makes the princess happy, I guess. And hey, I'm feeling a little happier myself.
Bridgette and Cody sat on a large rock, playing with a deck of cards while waiting for Ryan and Geoff's discussion to end. "I wanted to do one of the Drama Brothers songs," Cody bemoaned. He pulled out his keyboard and activated a small backing track. "It looks like we'll probably be doing a tribute to someone."
"Like that song Harold sang to Leshawna? I think Geoff and Sammy are trying to get together," Bridgette suggested.
"I think that would have made more sense," Cody replied. "But I hear them talking about Oh My Izzy."
"Ryan has a crush on Izzy?"
The keyboard track stopped abruptly and Cody's face contorted into a look of bewilderment. "You know as well as I do that Izzy and Owen are on top of each other. Geoff wants to-" Cody yelped abruptly and tried to cower.
"Hey, it's fine. Geoff and I are friends, as I've said many times," Bridgette said bluntly. "And besides, I was the one who brought up that idea."
"How do you think we'll divide the song up?" Cody asked.
"I'm committed to singing Oh My Sammy if it comes to it, but it looks like Ryan is winning the argument, so we'd better help Geoff out."
Confessional, Cody
You know, I wonder if I stand a chance with Bridgette. Hey, she could be clumsy enough to fall in love with me. ...but Ryan and Izzy as a couple? (eyes grow wide) I should not have thought of that...
As Jo sulked on the pier and threw another stone, she reared back and threw a ball of seaweed behind her. She waited for the sound of the seaweed hitting the ground, only for it to never come. Alarmed, she turned around to see B walking up to her with seaweed on his head. "Sorry, silent bob."
The giant boy sat next to Jo with an aura of calmness. "I guess you and I are stuck performing with each other?"
B nodded.
"Well, I don't know what the fuck to do! I hate singing, I'm not any good at it, and if my stupid stage mom heard me sing, then she'd try to force me in that direction!"
B looked at her with a raised eyebrow.
"Don't tell me your parents didn't force a mechanical mind like you to make invention after invention and rake in a fuckton of cash."
B shook his head.
"...I guess it's just a me problem, then," Jo said quietly. "What are you here for, anyway?"
B put a finger to his ear and turned to the direction of the auditorium. Jo could faintly hear the sounds of practicing going on and sighed. "I'm not singing! Can't I just do a funky dance with you?"
The silent genius hung his head downward, and then raised it with a look of inspiration.
"Well then, Silent Bob, what are you gonna be up to?"
From his trenchcoat, B pulled out a machine that seemed to play a familiar tune.
"Isn't this that one song, Fuck You?" Jo asked. "If I can direct that to Chris and those stupid twins, then- YOU'RE A GENIUS! And that bit of friendship we may have had, it never happened. Ah, who am I kidding, you're mute!"
Confessional, B
There passes a minute of Beverly sitting in front of the camera with a thoughtful look on his face. He pulls out a whiteboard and scribbles something hastily.
She does know that she's on a television show, right?
Alejandro and Heather ended their first practice just as Justin returned from his minor break. "Right," Justin said with eyes narrowed. "Can Owen and I test out the acoustics now?"
"Yeah, hold your horses, you lesser pretty boy," Heather said with a bite.
"Heather, mi amor," Alejandro interrupted. "Somos un equipo."
"Oh, I know that," Heather said dismissively. "And maybe it'd do Justin good to practice being even half as strong and sexy as you."
"Ah, but then I might have competition," Alejandro said in false worry. "Oh wait, that is simply an unfounded, irrational nightmare of mine. Mattaku shinpai shimasen."
"Ā, shitte iru, kare ga nozomu mono o what i tsuitto o ataemashou," Heather snarked. The two laughed and went off prop hunting.
Justin turned to the camera and shrugged, before he called Owen over.
Confessional, Owen
I want sushi.
"Well, I think our vocals are pretty good, don't worry about that," Trent said. "Now… I wonder if there's something we can use for the boar bear."
Gwen dragged Trent to the prop pile and the two of them knocked over the top portion of the pile. At the sound of the top props falling down, Gwen instinctively dove to the side and found her hand hooked on a claw. She pulled the claw out after much struggle. To her shock, a real bear roared and leapt out of the pile, giving chase to the goth and musician.
Confessional, Gwen
...I stopped trying to make sense of this show years ago, but I'm still scared as fuck.
Confessional, Bear
The bear sniffs the camera. Looking at the camera for a bit, he breathes into his paw and smells his breath before spraying some cologne in his mouth. After coughing, the bear belts out a single sustained note that breaks when the bear burps.
Gwen and Trent hid behind a prop door and slumped down, as the bear continued to run around the set, interrupting a practicing Beardo and Ezekiel. "So, are we still going for Ryan?" Trent asked.
"Yeah," Gwen said.
"Cool," Trent said.
The two looked at each other before they heard a knock at the door. Trent hesitantly opened the door to see Sugar with her knuckles on the door. "Are you using this, hot stuff?" Sugar asked rudely.
"Not for the competition, but... is the bear gone?"
"What bear?" Sugar asked. Sugar soon felt a tapping on her shoulder and turned around to see the gaping maw of the well-known Wawanakwa brown bear. She screamed loudly and the bear fainted dead away. Turning to Trent, who was cowering behind Gwen, she bluntly explained, "I think the bear problem is done."
"Well, you can use the door then," Gwen said, getting a whiff of the stench that knocked out the bear. "I don't want to use the knocked out bear as a prop," Gwen said as Sugar left.
"I saw a boar's head. We can hang that off of a hook or something while we perform," Trent recommended. The bear rolled over, and the two darted off in fear.
"I would never let you go," Geoff finished.
"Let you go," Cody concluded.
"Wow, dude, that was great!" Geoff said. "I hope this doesn't get interpreted the wrong way."
Bridgette and Ryan looked at each other with a shrug, though both were shrugs of different emotions, and it was clear that Ryan had something on his mind. "Geoff, do you really think that such a grandiose gesture is good for our team?" Ryan asked.
"We all agreed that this song could work," Geoff said bluntly.
"But the lyrics aren't dividing between you in a fluid way," Ryan argued.
"It's okay, man," Cody spoke up. "Geoff can carry the lead vocals. And Bridgette has a great voice for it, too."
"You're not annoyed because you're not getting the limelight or singing with Bridgette, are you?" Geoff joked. "...right?"
"Oh, no," Ryan said, red flushing to his cheeks. "I just had that hang up about the division. Is it cool if we run through it once more?"
"Sure," Bridgette said eagerly. "And if that doesn't work, Ryan and I can try singing a duet together in the middle."
"...Well, I dragged you two into helping me get together with Sammy, so since you two want to get together, I'll give you the shot," Geoff said with a shrug and a beaming smile.
Confessional, Bridgette
...what?
Confessional, Ryan
Umm…
Confessional, Bridgette and Ryan (Split Screen)
Let's be clear here, I'm not looking for love just yet. I mean, I can't help it if Bridgette/Ryan is nice, but I need the money for surfing/football. How does Geoff even think that I like Bridgette/Ryan? He's obviously reading too far into it. I mean, we haven't even talked that much...though there's the fact that she/he is really, really cute…but whatever!
"YEAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHH!" Brick, Noah, and Leshawna belted out.
"Okay, I think that's good. We should get some rest before the next practice, which is Scott, Sugar, and Lightning," Brick said, a clipboard appearing in his hand out of nowhere. "Noah, Leshawna, do you want to collect props for Shearing Sheep?"
"Naw, I'm gonna talk to Eva for a moment," Leshawna said as she gestured to the muscle freak, who was lifting a set of weights on her own. "We still need another song down, I'm going to see what she wants to do."
"Good luck," Noah said cheerfully.
Confessional, Noah
(smiling brightly) I smelled something beautiful in the pile of props and I feel like flying!
Leshawna strode over as Brick reigned Noah in. "Come on, girl," Leshawna said confidently. "What song do you like?"
Eva looked at Leshawna with a blunt face. "Instrumental hard rock."
"Well, I was thinking we could do something more peppy," Leshawna said.
"Why are you helping me?" Eva asked bluntly.
"Listen, girl, you have it in your mojo, and you and I are the two toughest girls on the team, so we could knock them out of the park."
"Ugh," Eva groaned. "It's times like this I miss the psycho," she added, offering Leshawna a small glance. "Nothing too bubble gum like Carly Rae Jepsen, please?"
"Oh, heck no! I was thinking Sia and Cheap Thrills! You know how it goes, right?" The bodacious queen began singing the song as Eva looked on blankly.
"So, do you want me to dance?"
"I mean, if you want, because you know I'm le'shaking it back and forth, present and future! I can dance and sing!" Leshawna said, dancing.
Eyes wide, Eva frantically waved her arms to get Leshawna to stop, and hastily yelled. "No! No, I'll do the background vocals and dancing," Eva said.
"Oh, sure," Leshawna said. The two looked behind them to see Sugar twerking, Scott doing the sprinkler, and Lightning grinding. "I have a feeling that they don't know what they're missing!"
As Leshawna danced away, Eva turned to the camera and shuddered.
Confessional, Eva
...how is it that I'm one of the best dancers on the team?
"I'm winning this time, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah!" Anne Maria belted out.
"Come on, Anne Maria," Courtney said irately. "It's only three yeahs!"
"Hey, I didn't sing this one originally," Anne Maria defended. "It's only one extra yeah, but-"
"Cool it, nectarine," Duncan said bluntly. "It's better not to argue with Courtney the perfect. So let's just take it from the top...and go through a dweeby fucking me again."
Anne Maria looked at Duncan bewilderedly as Courtney started her part once again. She held the dolly that was supposed to represent Blaineley with one hand and twirled it around. "Hey, wait, where is that old broad?"
Confessional, Blaineley
I wasn't invited to come back!
Confessional, Chris
No one liked her when she joined the show, so we just replaced her with some fresh meat, and it's clear that that was the best decision.
(Blaineley butts in) SEE MY NEW SHOW ON THE CHRIS SUCKS NETWORK!
Chris: GET OUT OF HERE, YOU LUNATIC!
Chris, a little befuddled, called the contestants to the stage and continued with the next part of the challenge. "Righty-O challengers!"
"Who says righty-o anymore?" Noah asked.
"I do. Chef, do we have some more of that powder for Mister downer right there?"
"FRESH OUT!" Chef called.
"Drat," Chris snapped. "Okay, the judges for this challenge will include me and Chef as per usual, but we are opening up these performances to an audience of sixteen."
"But Chris, Total Drama is seen by-"
"SHUT UP, HAROLD! YOU RUINED THE SURPRISE!" Chris sniped. "Well, it's TIME to welcome back the eliminated contestants for this performance."
"They were just here for the redemption challenge yesterday," Dawn pointed out.
"Shut it, please," Chris said, annoyed. The eliminated contestants walked out onto the stage, waving and smiling at their remaining compatriots. "Anyways, we're going to pick five judges from this group, and we will all come up with an average out of eight."
"Are you sure you don't mean seven?" Dakota interjected.
"...shut up Dakota...just for that, we aren't picking you."
"How are you picking them?" Beth asked.
"...here's ten bucks, Beth, save some money for the other good question askers," Chris said, throwing a wadded ball of bills to the farm girl. "If you could divide into the teams you were voted out of, then we could randomly pick from this judging ball for selection."
Harold, Sierra, and Topher stood on an orange colored mat. Amy was the lone Rabbit on a periwinkle mat. Max, Izzy, Leonard, and Rodney stood on a red mat. Tyler and Lindsay locked lips on a maroon mat. Dakota, Shawn, Beth, Staci, Sam and Scarlett tried their best to fit on the teal colored mat. "Okay, Amy is obviously the judge representative from the Rabbits," Chris said before he stuck his hand into the ball of randomness.
"Hey Chris, isn't that a reaping ball?" Zoey asked.
"...What is it with these campers and all these questions?" Chris said bluntly. "So-"
"I VOLUNTEER AS JUDGE!" Sierra shrieked. Cody looked at the camera and hung his head downward.
"Okay moving on," Chris said, progressively more annoyed. "From the Birds the judge selected is Rodney. The Doves have their representative as…. Sam. And our final representative is Lind-Tyler! Tyler is the last judge representative."
The five stepped off of their mats and the other eliminated contestants piled their way into the bleachers. "Okay, and we have an audience of the animals of Wawanakwa!" Chris announced.
Fang and Chomper, cuddling on one row, were directly in front of the fish from the fish hauling challenge. They, in turn, were raised higher by Sasquatchanakwa. Tsing Tsing the panda, a baby seal, several bears, a goat, Irene the fish, DJ's pet alligator, and several piranhas were on the bleachers behind the first three rows. "They will vote on their favorite team for a special prize at the end."
Confessional, Chomper
Chomper apprehensively looked at the voting device and poked it once. An electric charge flowed through the shark and he angrily balled his fin in a fist. "Chomper, if you break that, then we're taking that out of your paycheck!" Chomper growled at Chris' voice and shoved the voting device in the toilet, walking off angrily.
"First things first, we'll kick off this talent- or 'untalent' showcase- with a couple that has been through two different islands. It's Sky and Dave with Elton John and Kiki Dee's Don't Go Breaking My Heart!"
A mellow but free flowing beat started to play as Sky and Dave started to move. "Don't go breaking my heart," Dave started, a bit pitchy but with 100% of his spirit.
"I couldn't if I tried," Sky replied, with a good voice but the hints of a burp on her mouth.
"Oh honey, if I get restless-"
"Baby, you're not that kind," Sky said, deflecting her burp.
The second verse got several of the couples in the audience swaying rhythmically to the beat. Dave and Sky exchanged genuine smiles as the music compelled the two into the chorus. "WOOOO-OOH!" Dave and Sky sang, the former's voice cracking. "Nobody knows it!"
"But when I was down,"
"I was your Clown." Behind them on the screen, images of the famous total drama couples, at least when they were still together, appeared in tune to the rhythm of their lyrics.
"Right from the start."
"I gave you my heart!" The rest of the song passed without incidence and Sky and Dave ended their song hand in hand as a swing lowered from the catwalks and both sat upon it.
To a respectable amount of applause, both stood up and took a bow. "Okay, that was cute," Tyler started off. "Amy says that she wants that song to sing at Sammy's wedding if Sammy wants to. Sam said that song was weird coming off of Pahkitew with you two, Rodney thinks that he and… some girl could be on that screen sometime, and Sierra says that was good...for a second rate Cody?"
"I STAND BY IT!" Sierra said when many heads turned to her.
"...okay, luckily Sierra isn't the only vote," Tyler lampshaded. "All of us thought it was a seven, so we're going to give you that."
Confessional, Sky
Yeesh, I guess I suffer from stage fright more than I thought. Dave and I passed though.
"Coming off of that respectable performance, we have Justin and Owen performing The Temptations' signature song 'My Girl'," Chef said.
A simple beat began above the sounds of the audience murmuring in excitement. Justin and Owen, in matching charcoal suits, started to snap to the tune of the music. When the more familiar guitar beat started, Justin turned around with his award winning smile fresh on display, causing many of the female and gay sharks to swoon. Owen was quick to follow, but he stayed to the back.
"I've got sunshine, On a cloudy day," Justin began, incorporating a little hawaiian twang to his voice. "When it's cold outside, I've got the month of May."
"I," Owen started to harmonize, stepping up with Justin. "Guess, you'd, say."
"What can make me feel this way? My girl," Justin sang.
"My girl," Owen continued.
"My girl!" the two said simultaneously.
"Talking about my girl," Owen sang gruffly.
"MY GIRL!" The two added with a flourish.
When the next verse began the two boys dropped from the stage and moved through the audience, Justin with the grace and majesty of a dolphin and Owen with the same properties provided by a blue whale in the ocean. "I don't need no money, fortune or fame," Justin stopped by Anne Maria, holding out his hand.
"I've got all the riches baby, one man can claim," Owen said, holding out his hand for Izzy.
Both girls took their love interest's hand and allowed them to be spun by the singers. "I guess you'd say…" Justin started.
"What can make me feel this way? My girl," Owen said as he dipped Izzy.
"My girl," Justin continued.
"My girl!" The two picked up the girls with their hands and set them down with a kiss.
The audience cheered politely, it seemed to be a hit, and Justin and Owen returned to the stage high fiving and hugging each other. "Okay," Amy started. "I would have rather you flirted with us beautiful ladies on the panel. Or at least gave Sammy a chance. Then again Sierra says that she wants Cody to sing that to her on her wedding night, Sam is jealous of how easily you can do that, Tyler says that he's jealous too, and Rodney just wants a girl to sing it to. It was simple, though, but with Justin's melodic voice and beefcake bod and Owen's surprisingly homely voice, we'll have to give you guys an eight!"
Confessional, Anne Maria
That boy over there, that Justin...
Those eyes, those pecs, his smile!
Why can't this game end soon, so I can stop seeing him as a competitor and see him as my perfect partner?!
"Great performance, guys. Can the next performance keep up the momentum? Let's find out when we have Dawn and Jasmine with their rendition of Sisters from Total Drama World Tour!" Chris announced.
The backing beat began as Jasmine danced on stage with the mic in her hand. It was clear that she was emulating Leshawna's dance moves but she was already doing much better than the booty-licious girl was. "You think you got us good, okay maybe you did. You think you rule the game we guess," she started.
Dropping a picture of Scott, specifically Scott being chased by Fang, was Dawn from the ceilings as she stifled a smile. "But you don't rule the game because you're nothing but a rat," Dawn said as she floated down. Scott looked above her, jaw agape, and very much offended.
"WHO'S GONE AND TIZZIED US ALL UP!" Jasmine and Dawn shouted.
"You lied to all our faces and ruined the fun. We know just how to do it, oh a bozo's going down, and won't be getting up again!" Jasmine sneered.
"Siblings come together now, take him down, siblings come together, sort them out, siblings come together now and make them see what we're all about, woah!" Dawn spun seven times in the air and landed in front of Scott with both middle fingers raised.
"Siblings come together now, show what's what, Siblings come together now, let's all strut! Siblings, come together now and make them see what we're all about, Vengeance!"
Dawn's elegant but hateful dance ended with the sounds of laughter and applause.
Confessional, Dawn
That was more vulgar than I wanted, but Scott is just the right amount of cute and repulsive to bring that out in me.
Confessional, Scott
I wonder how I can pin this stupid shit on that nature freak...
When Sam finished his applause, he sat down and flipped some papers over. "As someone who has been victimized by Scott, I one hundred percent approve. Amy argues that Scarlett was a bigger witch to make a song about, Tyler thinks Alejandro could have been better, and Sierra says that she likes how you innovated Leshawna's dance moves. Overall, the song was good but not great."
"Moving on to some more fun, we have Gwen and Trent with their rendition of the notorious Greek Mix from Total Drama World Tour," Chef said boredly.
Trent sat on a Greek pillar with a laurel crown over his head as he strummed a foreign guitar. A sign above him said that it was called a Bouzouki. "I know what you're thinking, I'm thinking it too," Trent said in a calmer voice than was expected for the song.
"I'm not sure what you're thinking, so maybe that's true!" Gwen said as she came out in an eerie black toga.
"I don't know what happened, but I have no regrets," Trent sang as he stood. He exchanged the foreign guitar with a smaller guitar that he was much more familiar with.
"For real?" Gwen asked, voice cracking to surprising effect. "Or because you-know-who doesn't know yet?"
Trent picked up the pace and ran with Gwen through their artistic mockup of the scene. The two stopped between an artistic representation of Duncan's mohawk, as a facsimile vaguely resembling Alejandro's head appeared periodically in the background. "Oh, it's just between us!"
"Not exactly, someone made a fuss," Gwen retorted, backing up against a bush shaped like Tyler's hair.
"They sure weren't meant to see, but that locked door, couldn't secure our privacy-y-y-y!" Trent belted. A giant door fell from the rafters and separated Gwen and Trent.
"FINE, LET'S DO IT! LET'S CLEAR THE AIR!" Trent sang as he pressed himself against the door.
"Save it later, WATCH OUT FOR THE BEAR!"
A roar came from the other side of the door and Trent let out an almost operatic scream. "THE PAIN, THE PAIN! IT'S TOO MUCH TO EXPLAIN!"
Gwen pounded on the door as it rotated, making it clear to the audience that Trent was slamming himself against the door to pantomime the boar-bear's attack. "WE'VE GOT TO STOP WHAT WE'RE DOING BECAUSE THIS IS JUST INSANE!"
Trent fell to the ground with his back to the door dramatically. "The boar bear's got me, and that's seriously lame!" he sang weakly.
"Thanks Mr. Boar Bear," Gwen said as a medal that was supposed to be lowered on a hook fell down abruptly. She momentarily recoiled before recovering and shrugging. "I guess I win this game."
Raucous applause rippled through the audience and Amy went down to business. "I've seen better artwork from Sammy when she was younger," she started. "But it was so totally fetch of you to make things that looked like those, like, characters. Sierra says she still hates you, Gwen, so she gives you a one. Sam, Tyler, and Rodney however give you a nine. I'm inclined to agree since Gwen's voice cracks were so totally not fetch."
Confessional, Gwen
Everyone's a critic, especially bitches like Amy. And she's one to talk about fetch, she's wearing her outfit like she's a washed up, peaked in high school, alpha bitch.
"Next up is Leshawna, Brick, and Noah, singing Shearing Sheep from Total Drama World Tour. Let's hope it's just as good the original was," Chris stated, looking at his notecard before exiting stage left so the aforementioned three could take the stage.
A backdrop of Australia dropped into place and what appeared to be an arts and crafts version of a sheep was placed on stage as well. The three performers took the stage, Leshawna at point while the other two were on her left and right. Then the music started and Leshawna began to sing the lyrics.
"Shearing sheep, don't be a creep, it's the only way we'll fly first, peeps. Win the game, don't be so lame, try to lose this and your face I'll maim!" Leshawna sang perfectly. She then rotated with Brick making the army man the main focus of the group.
Brick sang decent enough, his voice was somewhat smooth but it was obviously a bit pitchy. "Shear the sheep, then, with a smile, make yourself a giant woolly, woolly, woolly pi-ile! You had your chance and you turned her down, So don't be giving me no cranky frowns!" Brick sang, changing the original him in the song to her, most likely to prevent another Cody and Noah fiasco.
Then the group of three harmonized. Leshawna's soulful voice alongside the two boy's wasn't a perfect match but it wasn't horrible to listen to. "We are shearing sheep! We are shearing sheep! We are shearing sheep! We are shearing sheeeeep!"
Then Noah came in with a more dull version of Cody's verse, "Woah-oo-oo!"
Leshawna then returned to the center of the stage and sang what was once Heather's lyrics, " Shearing sheep instead of you, only cause you don't have any, a-tattoos! I'll find a logo, we'll win again, And I'll be here, until the bitter end!"
Then the trio harmonized for the chorus one last time, "We are shearing sheep! We are shearing sheep! We are shearing… Yeaaaahhhh!" The song finished, and the performance was met with many claps from the audience, even from Heather and Courtney who felt the song was done well enough.
"The song was good but not great. I feel that your voices weren't anything great, however your performance was great. I give it a 7/10," Tyler stated. "I agree with Tyler here as well," Sam agreed along with Amy, "I thought Leshawna was great and beautiful, 10/10," Rodney swooned, "I think Cody did a lot better, 5/10" Sierra stated.
"Well, it appears that they got a solid 7/10," Chris stated, disregarding the final two votes.
Confessional, Leshawna
We tried our best. I just hope those fuckwits pull through, because if they don't, one of them is bound to go home.
Confessional, Harold
Leshawna did great, Noah and Brick just weighed her down. I bet if that was a solo performance she would have gotten a 10/10.
Confessional, Lightning
Don't they sha-worry! Lightning and his crew are gonna knock the future competition out of the park!
"Let's see if this next trio is able to continue the good mojo! We're going to see if this trio of Scott, Sugar, and Lightning will become the three musketeers or the three stooges with their rendition of Meant to Be by Bebe Rexha and Florida Georgia Line," Chef backed away with a bit of a worry in his step as Sugar, Lightning, and Scott took the stage.
Confessional, Shawn
A bunch of us eliminated contestants made bets on who was the worst. I put a hundred bucks on Sugar being involved with the trainwreck and scoring a one. Here's hoping that country girl pulls through for me.
Confessional, Scarlett
The odds of Sugar tanking the performance are unlikely. Possible but unlikely. I do not intend to pay that zombie freak any monetary amount from my purse. My currency is on that loon, B.
Confessional, Brick
Now we just need Scott, Lightning, and Sugar to pull through and we'll be safe!
...why do I suddenly feel sick to my stomach?
A country beat started to play as Scott appeared in the center of the group, in a toy car that was way too small for him. "Baby lay on back and relax. Kick your pretty feet up on my dash," at that moment he put his feet up on the car's dash, only to spin out of control. In regaining control, Scott forgot the next part of the first verse.
"WHO KNOWS WHERE THIS ROAD IS SUPPOSED TO LEAD? WE GOT NOTHING BUT TIME! AS LONG AS YOU'RE RIGHT HERE NEXT TO ME, EVERYTHING'S GONNA BE ALRIGHT!" Lightning shouted as he rolled up in a tinier truck that accelerated too quickly and crashed into Scott's car.
The two alliance members glared at each other as they both started the chorus.
"If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be!" The first chorus was cut off when Sugar's vehicle, a lifesize disco truck, crashed into the unfortunate duo way too early.
"SHA SHIT SUGAR!" Lightning shouted as he rolled to the side.
The ginger was not as lucky, for his car rolled over a set of nails and flipped Scott into Fang's lap. "SO WON'T YOU RIIIIIIIIIII-AAAH!" Chomper chased Scott around the auditorium as Lightning tried to recover the chorus.
"See where this thing goes. If it's meant to be, it'll be, it'll be, it'll be, it'll be, it'll be, it'll be SHA YEAH!" The football player struck a victory pose, grabbed the disco ball and threw it up in the air, where it exploded and rained over the judging panel.
"Oh, come on mister football, you're better than forgetting the lyrics!" Sugar said through a burp. The entire audience looked at her as the music stopped. "Oh goody my rap can go unfiltered!"
Starting to twerk, Sugar put on a giraffe's head and started to rap the entirety of Bebe Rexha's first verse, struggling to pick up Lightning. Sugar accidentally knocked Lightning into, ironically, a lamp, which knocked him out cold. "Oh consarn it," Sugar cursed.
"Whoa, hold up girl, don't you know you're beautiful, and it's easy to see," Sugar said as she opened Lightning's mouth to the tune of the music, unfortunately giving the illusion to the audience that Sugar was just a failing ventriloquist.
"Aww, thanks Lightning," Sugar said as she put a tiara atop her giraffe's hat, dropping Lightning through the floorboards...somehow.
"If it's meant to be, it'll be, we will win, we will win, this easy pageant! Won't you lose for me? Lose for me?" Sugar asked, shaking her hips much like Shakira. As the rap continued, the few watching saw everything go from bad to worse.
And it all started when she took her top off.
A massive scream went through the audience as Sugar paraded on stage, rapping about how her power trio would get her to the end, vaguely in tune to the original song. She stood next to the hole Lightning's body made and whipped her top around as though she was drying it off. Her song could not have ended sooner when Chris "accidentally" tripped and caused the curtains to fall, burying a still moving Sugar in a layer of garments.
Confessional, Dave
MY EYES!
Confessional, Trent
...they just...kept…
JIGGLING!
Confessional, Ezekiel
Is that what a strip club is like?
"OKAY! OKAY! OKAY!" Chris shouted, trying to catch his breath. The interns looked at each other with pale faces and shivering bodies. How did the three stooges go from practice to that? Many in the audience resisted the urge to throw up and Chef refused to open his eyes.
"Rodney, can you please give them judgement?" Amy asked, holding back vomit.
The audience looked to Rodney. The giant farm boy seemed to have a red ring of death plastered entirely on his face. Izzy, taking initiative, slapped Rodney across the face. When Rodney still didn't respond, Izzy turned to the audience with a shriek. "If a pair of boobs turned him into that, then a pair of boobs can get him out of that!"
"NO!" Everyone shouted just as Izzy undid her bra.
"Spoilsports," Izzy said, slapping Rodney one more time.
"...okay then…" Sierra said, recovering first. "Where...where do we even begin?"
"One," Sam said, blinking rapidly. "So many things went wrong. Lightning forgot his lyrics, Scott got chased by a shark, and Sugar…"
"Agreed," Amy, Tyler, and Sierra said wholeheartedly.
"Phooey," Sugar whined. "I can do better. Give me one more chance to strip properly!"
"NO!"
Confessional, Amy
I still think it's bull that we can't give negative points… and fucking Shawn won the bet and now I'm down twenty-five bucks.
Confessional, Chris
For those of you at home, be grateful that the camera couldn't catch...everything…
And here I thought I wanted to bribe the officials to get rid of the censorship.
Fang returned to his seat and coughed up a bit of Scott's hair. The redhead stumbled to his seat and sat, delirious but smiling as he rolled his head around and around. Not satisfied, Fang went up and punched the redneck in his neck. The weasel flew five feet away and Fang went to his seat, content.
"...okay," Chris said with a deep breath. "Coming off of that, it'll be easy to get a high score, so please be fair towards our next group, Duncan, Anne Maria, and Courtney, with their rendition of I'm Winning This."
A rocking beat started almost immediately after Chris left the stage and the curtains parted slowly to reveal the trio clad in swimsuits holding their props. As they bobbed their heads, it was apparent that a cord was holding them up. The lights hit the board to reveal that there was tape spaced out for their moves. "Rocking it Hawaiian Style! Surfing down this magic mile! Hoping I don't get burned by the Lava that's a-flyin!" Courtney sang.
As the music continued, the Lawyer stepped onto her board and was gradually raised upward, struggling to remain balance as she held a bouquet of flowers. "One last chance to prove my might," Duncan began in his best impression of Harold's voice. "That's what keeps me up at night! Why else would I volunteer, for something death defying?!" After swinging around Anne Maria for a bit, she too was raised in the air, uttering her best impression of Harold's 'GOSH' and striking a pose.
"I'm winning for real!" The screen behind Courtney changed to be a photo of a waterfall, one that very clearly had the watermark stuck in the middle. Duncan joined Courtney high above the stage floor and the two tipped their skateboards to emulate the race to the bottom.
The lights shone on Anne Maria as she sighed and stopped just short of spraying her hair. Already missing the first line of her verse, she continued the song with the next phrase. "So what if you can't such and such?" She asked while twirling the dummy in a bit of a salsa. "You're the Queen! Of Heather's team! So! Show them you're a winner!" Anne Maria stood on the dummy as she was raised higher and higher.
"Okay, I take offense to being portrayed by that unshapely figure!" Blaineley shouted from the audience. Chef turned around, looked at her, and chased her back onto the boat of losers.
The 'lava', in the form of red buckets of paint, fell down with force and actually hit the boards, prompting actual screams from the trio. Quick to recover, Anne Maria continued to sing "THIS IS MESSED UP! IT'S TRUE! SORRY BLAINELEY! DON'T SUE!"
Duncan steadied himself and faced Anne Maria with a steely glare. "Step aside, let me through!"
"I'M STILL COMING FOR YOU!" Courtney harmonized.
"OH-OH! I'M WINNING THIS TIME! YEAH, YEAH, YEAH!" the three sang as the song came to a close. Unfortunately, their balance went with it, and all three splashed into a big blue foam block. Blaineley ran across the stage, kicked Anne Maria, and ran off, chased by the hulking mass of cook that was Chef Hatchet.
Confessional, DJ
Could someone please let me know if I was the only one who saw that weird old lady? I thought she was a washout hosting Nineteen Bulldogs and Counting on-
(Blaineley barges in): I'M NOT A WASHOUT, YOU OAF!
(DJ punches Blaineley, knocking her out): I feel like Chef wants this girl...I'll be back.
"Well," Tyler started. "It was better than Sugar's, but that was a low bar to reach anyways. Sierra says that Anne Maria should have done better because she was representing the best team. Rodney likes Anne Maria. Sam thought it was good, and Amy is wondering who that blond girl was. She isn't important but we think a seven is good."
Confessional, Courtney
Seven, good!? THAT'S JUST AVERAGE! WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK? WE WENT AFTER SUGAR, SO WE SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN A NINE!
"Well, okay then," Chef said with a smile. "Next up is…" Chef took an unnaturally long pause and held the card high in the air.
"GET ON WITH IT!" Chris shouted from Judge's row.
"I DON'T READ SLOPPY HANDWRITING!" Chef complained.
Annoyed, an intern stormed the stage and read aloud. "In Chef's defense, this is really bad handwriting. Without further ado we have DJ Z-ekky and Beardo on the block with their rendition of Gangster's Paradise."
Chef and the Intern ran off stage and ceded their positions to Beardo. The tall guy tapped the mic twice before a familiar beat came as he beatboxed. Ezekiel shambled on stage to the tune of the beats, with his Z medallion blinging wildly. "As I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I take a look at my life and realize there's nothing left," Ezekiel began.
Many audience members looked on respectfully as Ezekiel stumbled through the rest of the song without messing up the lyrics. With Beardo harmonizing for the later verses the two were able to get through their performance without much issue. Ezekiel dropped the mic and Beardo finished his beats with a little flourish.
A respectful round of applause went around the audience and the two stood on stage awkwardly. "Well," Sierra started. "It was… okay. Cody could have done a good amount of business with his keyboard if needed. Amy says that Ezekiel's fashion sense was horrible, Rodney doesn't get the context of being gangster, Sam says you all were pretty fly, and Tyler gives you guys an eight out of ten."
Zeke and Beardo looked to each other and high fived with big beaming smiles.
Confessional, Beardo
(Beatboxes in victory to the tune of the pokemon black and white hiker theme)
As the applause died down, Chris jumped on the stage with his award winning smile, wearing thin after so many different performances of varying quality. "Now we go to the Doves for one last performance, done by a duo so different they can't have been put together intentionally. Give it up for Jo and B with their performance of Fuck You!"
B set up his D.J. station on stage quickly and hit a button. A Rube Goldberg machine on stage rolled around and around before landing in front of B's D.J. set, starting the beginning of the beat as well as flashing different colors on stage, creating a real show for the audience. B then hit some buttons, adding in more drums and guitar. Then Jo entered and began singing the lyrics. A hint of autotune, probably from B's mechanical skills, was also found on her voice. Along with that, B was using a looper to loop Jo's voice for adlibs, backing vocals, and even making her voice into an instrument of its own.
"I see you driving 'round town with the guy I love and I'm like, fuck you! Oo, oo, ooo," Jo sang, the autotune aiding her voice. "I guess the change in my pocket wasnt enough, I'm like fuck you and fuck them too! I said if I was richer I'd still be with ya."
"Ha! Ain't that some shit?!" Jo shouted in tune with the music. A backing of Jo's voice provided the chorus of her song and the Rube Goldberg device continued, distracting much of the audience from her mediocre vocals.
"Although there's pain in my chest I still wish you the best with fuck you!" A miniature Ferrari created by the silent inventor rolled on stage automatically and Jo hopped in and continued the song, holding up assorted props at the song's insistence.
"I see you driving around town with the man I love, and I'm like Fuck you! I guess the change in my pocket wasn't enough, so I'm like FUCK YOU AND FUCK HIM TOO!"
The song ended and a polite smattering of applause rippled through the audience. Both Jo and B took a bow. "Alright," Sam started. "It seems like all of us liked that. Not much more to say really. I'd like to see Jo in a rock band game myself. That was fun to see, umm, not much to say, but we'll give you an average of six. Honestly, it was a lot of flair and Jo's singing was good but not great."
After Jo was restrained from punching the lights out of Sam, it was clear that the show would go on.
Confessional, Zoey
What's she complaining about? She's better than Sugar!
"After that interesting performance, we have Sadie, Katie, Ella, and Sammy performing their rendition of I'm Gonna Make It from World Tour," Chef stated before exiting the stage and being replaced by the four girls. A backdrop of a train was dropped into place. A tree the size of Chef was also placed on stage.
Sadie and Katie stood off to the right side of the stage while Sammy and Ella stood to the left. The music began and Katie began to sing with a more high pitched voice than most, "This show's a train, it's moving fast. You and I weren't meant to last. Voting for me just wasn't right, so look out now, you're in my sights."
Sadie then began her lyrics with almost the exact same voice as Katie, "Ms. Fair now, suddenly, I have to barf now, excuse me! Don't try to make me feel ashamed. I know you would've done the same."
The two BFFLs were definitely struggling to sing the song, as the original Heather and Alejandro were insulting each other because they "hated" each other, whereas Katie and Sadie really did like each other, but the duo would persevere. The two began to harmonize for the chorus of the song. "I'm gonna make it. You can't stop me now, just you try. Our fortune's waiting. It's time for you to say, bye-bye-bye."
Then the light shifted away from the duo and shifted over to another duo. Sammy and Ella were now under the spotlight. Sammy, replacing Cody in this song, began to sing in a nice mellow and smooth sounding voice. I never thought I'd get this far. Let's face it, I'm no TV star. But now I'm in the final three, unless we get caught in that tree," Sammy shouted, pointing at the Chef sized tree before making a dramatic showing of diving out of the way.
Then Ella's beautiful singing voice began which enraptured almost everyone, excluding Sugar who still held a grudge against the princess. "You're gonna make it. They can't stop you now, let them try. Our fortune's waiting And they can kiss it all bye-bye-bye."
The spotlight then returned back to Katie and Sadie, who began to sing once more, "You are the worst, why must you torment me? It's all a game to you, but not to me," They sang before Sadie shoved Katie aside like how Heather shoved Alejandro off of the train in the original show.
"Sadie!" Katie yelled.
The still standing trio then began to come together and harmonize over the chorus to finish the song, "I'm gonna make it. They can't stop me now, let them try. Our fortune's waiting, It's time for you to say, goodbye-bye-bye."
The song finished, with the performance being met with plenty of applause. Then Chris motioned for the judges to give their scores.
"Even though Cody wasn't in it I'll give it a 6/10, it was alright, all things considered," Sierra stated. "I felt that a-all of you were fantastic, 10/10," Rodney sighed dreamily. "I felt that it was good, Sadie and Katie singing was a little high pitched for my taste, however Ella's and Sammy's singing made up for it. I give it an 8/10," Sam stated. "Like Sam, I felt it was a good song, my one critique is that Sammy and Ella should have sang Heather's and Alejandro's part considering I think their voices are better suited for it, 7.5/10." Tyler stated. "I felt it was alright, I think Sammy should have taken the lead role in this song, but I still give it a 9/10," Amy stated.
"That's about a 7.5/10 so that's what you guys get, good job ladies," Chris exclaimed, ushering them off stage.
Confessional, Katie/Sadie
Katie: We dragged our team's score down, which is SO disappointing.
Sadie: I know right, but we still did fine, a seven and a half is good. I doubt our team is going to be on the bottom after Sugar's fiasco!
"Okay, next up we have Cheap Thrills as performed by Eva and Leshawna!" Chris announced.
The backing track began as Eva and Leshawna grabbed their mics. "Come on, come on turn the radio on," Leshawna began in a nice voice. She continued through the first two verses with her voice retaining the same quality, and the audience was well in tune.
"I LOVE CHEAP THRILLS!" Eva shouted gruffly, making no effort to be in tune. She winced as she heard her voice but recovered in time for the second "I LOVE CHEAP THRILLS!"
"Come on, come on, turn the radio on, it's Saturday and I won't be long. Gotta paint my nails, put my high heels on. It's Saturday and I won't be long, Until I hit the dance floor, hit the dance floor, I got all I need." As she moved through the next verse, her toes tapped, her hands swayed, and Le-shaking it took the dance floor.
Even though the audience collectively agreed that Leshawna had a pretty good voice, hardly anyone could keep their eyes on the stage as Leshawna continued to dance. Several cameras turned away from the action, all focusing on the stiff Eva as she shouted "I LOVE CHEAP THRILLS!"
As the reggae portion picked up, Leshawna dropped her mic and motioned for Eva to continue the song. "Me and You girl, you and me," Eva continued. "Drop it to the floor and make me see your energy because mi nah play nuh hide and seek, Wah fi see the ting you have a make me feel girl." To Eva's own surprise she was getting more comfortable with the lyrics.
Eventually, Eva powered through the rest of the song as Leshawna took a jump off of the stage and began dancing through the audience. The animals cleared a path as she joined Harold in dancing. "La...la la la la la laaa…. La lalalalalaaa…" Eva finished. Even with the song stopping, Leshawna kept dancing.
Eva looked at the audience, who had their eyes glued to the odd ritual Leshawna performed. Then she looked back at the judges, back at the cameras, and took a deep breath. "AH, FORGET THIS!" she shrieked, throwing her mic onto the ground. The mic bounced and hit an intern on the catwalks where the sun didn't shine.
Confessional, Intern
(close to tears) I thought her voice was beautiful, why me?!
As the audience recovered, Rodney cleared his throat and looked over their notes. "Ummm…. If this was a beauty contest then Leshawna and Eva get a 10 out of 10 but this is not," Rodney hesitated. "Amy said that she saw better dancing on a dying fish, Tyler said that it seemed clumsier than he was, Sam wondered if the game was glitching, but Sierra says 4/10, needs more Cody. And she says that Eva improved from her bit part in the aftermath."
"It's agreed," Rodney said. "Four."
Confessional, Harold
They just don't get the majesty that is Leshawna.
Confessional, Leshawna
I'm proud of Eva. I really am. I gotta wonder how bad we fucked up, but at least we won't be up for elimination because I can name three stooges who were worse than us!
[12]
"In what we hope to be a more smooth-moving performance, up next is everyone's favorite villainous couple, Aleheather with their rendition of Closer by Halsey and Chainsmokers," Chef announced.
He backed away from the stage and a massive bed wheeled into the center. Their discobeat began and Alejandro shot a perfect hand upright. "Hey," Alejandro said, sitting up. "I was doing just fine before I met you." The Spaniard was shirtless, exposing his chiseled body with a light flex as he helped Heather, wrapped in a blanket, sit up.
"I know it breaks your heart, moved to the city en un auto roto and four years no calls, now you're looking pretty in a hotel bar and I can't stop," Alejandro said as he danced around the bed.
"No I-I-I can't stop," Alejandro said as he swept Heather off the bed.
As the chorus began it was apparent that Heather was scantily clad, only in a bikini top and skimpy red panties that caused many nerds to feel a flush of red. The chorus ended and the two lovebirds wrapped themselves in blankets once more. The beat continued and Heather rose up with a flirtatious gesture.
"You, look as good as the day I met you, I forget just why I left you, I was insane," Heather started as she contorted in suggestive poses. "Stay, and play that blink-182 song that we beat to death in Tucson, okay."
The pre chorus began and she compelled Alejandro and many of the audience members to move forward to her. "So baby pull me Closer in the back seat of your rover, that I know you can't afford, Bite that tattoo on your shoulder, pull the sheets right off the corner of the mattress that you stole, From your roommate back in boulder we ain't ever getting older!"
The two villains danced in a tight, almost primal, quite feral embrace that caused many people in the audience to move forward in anticipation, feeling their own urges filled from watching the villains dance. "We ain't ever getting older," Heather and Alejandro finished.
The audience applauded vigorously, impressed and seduced by the choreography presented from the two villains. "Wow…..ummm…." Amy said, panting heavily. "The interns are describing that as Midcore rather than Softcore and Hardcore. Rodney wants to know if that's how you have sex all the time. Sam's currently-SAM, YOU GUYS HAVE THE FUCKING PLAYA TO FUCK AROUND IN TO PRACTICE! Sam and Tyler are both taking inspiration from you guys. And Sierra says 'no Cody, but 10/10'. We are all inclined to agree. 10/10."
Confessional, Heather
(smiling blissfully) ...I'm glad we could knock the socks off those fuckwits. We're going to be unstoppable! We played to our strengths the best we could, and you know, I'm feeling kind of short of breath myself.
When he finished dabbing a handkerchief to the beads of sweat appearing on his brow, Chris turned to the other audience members. "After that steaming rendition of a relatively tame song, let's see if the old classic, "I Can See Clearly Now" can get the same applause. Let's give it up for Dawn and DJ!"
The light strumming of a ukulele began as Dawn appeared, swinging from a hanging hammock, as DJ in a hula skirt started dancing slowly to the beat. "I can see clearly now, the rain is gone," DJ started, pulling out a pink ribbon of his own. "I can see all obstacles in my way, Gone are the dark clouds that had me blind."
The previously neutral grey screen of the wall disappeared in a ripple dissolve and Dawn jumped gracefully from the hammock. "It's gonna be a bright, bright, bright, bright, sun-shining day!" Dawn echoed every uttering of "bright" that DJ made.
DJ continued the song as a rainbow appeared between Dawn and DJ. As the audience, specifically Chomper and Fang, looked on in amazement, Dawn pointed upwards to the ceiling, from which a light sprinkling of water came. What couldn't be explained was how the rainbow seemed to follow the two of them as they gracefully skipped across the stage. "Look all around, there's nothing but blue skies," Dawn sang proudly. "Look straight ahead, there's nothing but blue skies!"
The song continued without incident and Dawn and DJ welcomed the round of applause with a bow.
"Good job, guys," Sam said over the applause. "That was a pleasant rendition of an old favorite. It was much better than some but not as good as others. Is that all we got?" Sam asked the other judges. "Amy says that it's pretty meh, and she wants DJ to stay away from Sammy because she already looks happy with Geoff. Tyler said it was good enough. Sierra wants to hear more. Rodney says...Dawn is to angel hair pasta as pasta hair is to dark winded blue bellies? Whatever, this is going to be good video game material. I can't wait to make this!"
Confessional, Sam
Upon further reading of the contract, I can't make this into a video game. Dammit.
"Okay, since Sam didn't say it, Dawn and DJ have earned an eight. One more round of applause!" Chris announced as Chef muscled his way on stage.
Confessional, Jasmine
It's safe to say that we're gonna be safe. All thanks to those deadheads on the Birds.
"After that solid performance from the nature lovers Dawn and DJ, we'll be having Geoff, Ryan, Bridgette, and Cody performing a redone version of Oh My Izzy. And, I'm told, this song is for a special someone in the audience," Chef smiled, leaving the four Giraffes to take the stage.
A backdrop dropped down on to the stage, displaying what looked to be the scene showing Izzy and Owen holding hands and skipping, but instead of Izzy and Owen, it was Geoff and Sammy instead. The backdrop, like it was in the actual T.V. show, appeared to be colored with Crayon and along the sides of the backdrop were pink and red balloons, to further emphasize the point of who this song was meant for.
Geoff walked on stage in his normal attire, grabbed the microphone and began to sing the song. "I love the way, Sammy says hello! By smiling at me, from afar! I love the daytime, when Sammy moves so slow," Geoff started with an almost country twang in his voice.
Bridgette then walked on stage and joined where Gwen sang in the original song, singing "Ooh, ooh," but the main attraction was Geoff singing the lyrics.
"Cause she's just so perfect!" Geoff sang.
Ryan and Cody entered the stage and joined Bridgette on either side of her, beginning to sing the chorus to Oh My Sammy. " Oh, Sammy! Oh, Sammy! I...I love you so! Oh, my Sammy, my little
Sammy. Why I love you so."
Cody then came in with his ad-lib, saying "But, her sister is kinda mean," earning a glare from Amy that made Cody shrink into the back of the stage.
"I don't care, cause I love her so, I love her smile, and I'd help in a time of need," Geoff sang, ignoring the slight glare from Amy, before Ryan joined in with his own ad-lib.
"Which, knowing Chris,"
"Is all the time, hahahaha," The pair laughed before Geoff took center stage again.
"Oh, I love the way she walks, and the way she talks." Geoff sang.
"Ooh, ooh," Bridgette sang, joining Geoff in singing.
"And smile at me, from afar." Geoff sang before the four of them finished with the chorus.
"Oh, Sammy! Oh, Sammy! I...I love you so. Oh, my Sammy, my little Sammy! Why I love you so. Why I love you so," they finished.
The group was met with a short pause, but then applause erupted from the crowd. Someone, presumably Sadie, pushed Sammy towards the stage. When she came face to face with Geoff, she blushed a bright tomato red.
"So, you wanna go out with me sometime?" Geoff asked smoothly.
"Yeah… yeah, I'd like that," She replied, and as she did so, she was met with a great bear hug from the party lover, which made her blush even harder.
"Alright, alright! It's a half hour show, people. Judges, what did you think," Chris asked, interrupting the moment between the pair.
"It was perfect because Cody was in it," Sierra drooled, "10/10."
"Hmm, you could have complimented Sammy more, but I give it a 10/10." Amy said.
"This was a great song and I wish I could do the same for Dakota, 10/10," Sam agreed, earning a blush from his own girlfriend.
"10/10, no question. Like Sam said, I wish I could sing that for my own girlfriend." Tyler agreed.
"Umm… I thought Bridgette was the best, but 10/10 overall," Rodney agreed, earning multiple cheers from the four on stage, along with many from the audience.
Confessional, Ryan
I will admit, I had my doubts. But it worked out great and I'm happy for Geoff. He needed something like this.
Confessional, Sammy
I loved that song, and I finally got a boyfriend that Amy can't steal or ruin! Today is the best day ever! I can't wait for the date with Geoff!
Confessional, Geoff
Sa-weet! The Geoffster is back in the game! You know it!
Confessional, Heather
...It looks like Sammy shot herself in the foot...
"Last, and quite possibly least after that loving gesture, we have Mike, Cameron, and Zoey performing Eminem and Rihanna's Monster," Chris announced.
The stage grew dark until the music started up. "I'm friends with the monster, that's under my bed, you're trying to change me, stop holding your breath," Zoey sang in tune with the music. "And you think I'm crazy, yeah, you think I'm crazy…."
Another light turned on, revealing Mike in a cage, or rather, Chester. "I wanted the fame but not the new fangled covers, oh well, guess beggars can't be choosers, wanted to receive attention for my being, wanted to be left alone in public, excuse me." Chester took a deep breath and Mike regained control.
"For wantin' my cake and eat it too, and wantin' it both ways, fame made me a balloon cause my ego inflated when I blew, see, but it was confusing, cause all I wanted to do was be the Bruce Lee of loose leaf." Mike's voice grew faster and faster, and many of the campers were left in awe as Mike slammed his head on the cell door, breaking the cage open and continuing the rap without hesitation. Cameron dropped from the ceiling, straitjacketed and squirming as it became apparent that he was the sound of the more human voices on the soundtrack.
"I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed," Zoey continued as Cameron called out from his position. "Get along with the voices inside my head."
As Cameron continued to echo in the background, Svetlana contorted around the stage in a deranged dance, flipping off of the sides and hanging off of the ceilings. She took a swan dive before appearing, shirtless, from a pile of discarded boxes. "Now, I ain't much of a poet, but I know somebody once told me to seize the moment and don't squander it," Vito swaggered with his shirt around his shoulders. "Cause you never know when it all could be over tomorrow, so I keep conjuring. Sometimes I wonder where these thoughts spawn Yeah ponderin' will do you wonders-"
"No wonder you're losing your mind, the way it wanders," Cameron interjected with a powerful voice from a voice modifier.
"Yodel-odel-ay-hee-hoo!" The three said in unison.
The performance continued, or rather, the spectacle continued, through the lyrics and the voices, punctuated with Vito changing into Manitoba Smith. "MY DID'S CONKING ME IN THE HEAD, KEEP KNOCKING! NOBODY'S HOME, WE'RE SLEEPWALKING! I'M JUST RELAYING WHAT THE VOICE IN MY HEAD'S SAYING! DON'T SHOOT THE MESSENGER, I'M JUST FRIENDS WITH THE-"
"I'm friends with the monster that's under my bed," Zoey continued in her eerily melodic voice. Thanks to Cameron's skills, the area behind her became enclosed in a harsh white light, which only accentuated her red hair. Cameron continued his echoing, even as he barely managed to fiddle with the control panel while in the straitjacket.
"I ain't out here to save the fucking children! I just want to win that one big million, but if there's one kid who relates, that's great! It's payback, fucking Christian and Chef did, Falling way back in the draft, turn nothing into something, still make that, straw into gold chump, I will spin Rumpelstiltskin in a haystack," Mike's face darkened and he backed into the cage intensely. "Maybe I need a straight jacket, face facts, I am nuts for real, but I'm okay with that, It's nothing, I'm still friends with the-"
"I'm friends with the monster, that's under my bed, get along with the voices inside of my head, y'all trying to save me, stop holding your breath, and you think I'm crazy, yeah you think I'm crazy."
Cameron's eerie voice carried through the stage as Mike seemed to darken, chuckling maliciously. The stage lights turned off and left the audience in darkness, processing the spectacle in front of them. When the lights turned on, Cameron was down, Mike was hugging Zoey tightly, and Zoey was smiling brightly.
It was then that the thunderous applause began. Mike and Jasmine locked eyes and Jasmine smiled largely, a look of realization dawning on Mike's face.
Confessional, Mike
I can't believe it… I can't believe it…
That was...that was such a relief…
But why do I feel like crying? And laughing?
Tyler sat down after the applause died down, and the judges handed him the notes for him to read out. "Wow! We're all in shock. Amy says that she's both scared and turned on by Mike. Rodney says that Zoey was like an angel. I'm personally shocked with Cameron's demonic voice in the middle. Sierra says 10/10, needs more Cody. And Sam says that could be the soundtrack of a battle. Well, I agree with Sierra. 10/10!"
The cheers echoed through the auditorium and Mike smiled before he ran off stage, breathing heavily as he dove behind a crate. Zoey was quick to find him, and all she could do was hug him tightly.
Confessional, Zoey
I've never done any stage performance like that in my life! I want to do it again, only if Mike… oh, Mike… he has anxiety in addition to DID. I think his backstory is best told by him.
"Wow, that was a high energy, high fun, and more importantly, highly dramatic challenge today! We probably won't do another performance challenge for a while, so we hope you enjoyed it while it lasted. In first place we have ...THE RABBITS!" Clips of the successful performances played in the background as the audience applauded. "But, the best performance of the night, as determined by the audience members, goes to…"
Confessional, Lindsay
I think that I put a bet on Marco for having the best performance. If he wins, then I win ten bucks from everyone! Poor Andrea put a bet on Samara and I don't think she had the best, so she's going to lose sixty nine dollars, and I think Tyler put a bet on Duncan.
Who's Duncan?
"Mike, Cameron, and Zoey for their rendition of Monster! They'll be getting fifty dollars each and a new microfridge from our sponsor! It'll be heading straight to their home." Zoey squeezed Mike's hand tightly and the lanky teen smiled. "As for the losers…"
As Chris paused for effect, Beardo looked at the screen, alerting Zeke, who alerted Bridgette, who tripped and fell on her back, pointing at the screen.
"WHY ARE YOU PLAYING THAT AGAIN?!" Brick shouted. Chris looked to the intern, who panicked and turned off the screen before Sugar stripped again.
"...Yeah," Chris said slowly. "It should be obvious at this point that it was the Birds who lost. I'll see you guys in thirty! WITH YOUR TOP ON, SUGAR!"
"And before the Rabbits celebrate their night in the luxury cabin, the saboteur has decreed!" Chris said as he stood higher and higher. "Two members of the winning team will swap with two random members on a non-losing team!"
Chris looked around at the Rabbits as they looked on in fear. After two long minutes of suspense, the host waved a single finger at Beardo and a single finger at Sadie. "Sadie, Beardo, you are the first swap. The next swap…"
The two chosen held onto their friends tightly as if they were life vests. For what it was worth, they were social preservers. "Ezekiel and Katie, join Beardo and Sadie."
Four people breathed in relief as another two sucked in air sharply. "Katie and Sadie will still get the reward of a new kitchen appliance set and a hundred dollars!" Chris added.
Confessional, Sammy/Ryan
...Well, fuck, there goes my alliance.
Confessional, Ella
Though I may be down one member, I will be up two new friends! Two new musical friends! And it helps that one of them is an orchestra onto his own voice!
Elimination Ceremony
"Welcome, Birds, to your fifth elimination ceremony. The last time you were here, Izzy was voted off by nomination rather by choice, so perhaps the saboteur made the correct decision, as you guys have now returned. Let's hope you make the right choice this time. The votes have been tallied and one of you will not be getting a marshmallow tonight. With that, let's get to the vote, shall we," Chris rambled on as he stared at the campers.
"Now, it's clear Leshawna carried you guys' group today, which is why she gets a marshmallow. Along with that, Eva and Noah weren't bad enough to receive any votes, so they will live to fight another day," Chris announced, tossing the aforementioned three their marshmallows.
"Now, out of the remaining four of you, only one of you did not receive a vote. That person being Lightning. Surprisingly, considering the performance," Chris announced, earning a sigh of relief from the jock.
"Now Brick, I'm surprised that you're here, because you performed fine as a backup singer. Which is why you are safe, soldier," Chris smiled at the soldier, tossing him his safety.
"Scott and Sugar, what a surprise that the two country folk who blew it big are here! Scott, you're a confirmed rat, Jasmine is literally hunting for your head after the stunt you pulled on Shawn and you've been public enemy number one since. On the other hand, Sugar, you blew it big in your song and cost your team the challenge. And besides that, you haven't done much for your team all season and you finished third the season before. Both of you would be welcome benefits to your team to send home, however, only one of you can go," Chris explained, pausing for effect. Sugar was nervously biting her nails as she stared at Chris, while Scott was smirking with his arms crossed.
"The next person voted off Total Drama Island Revived is…. Sugar," Chris explained as Sugar gasped in shock. Sugar stared over to Scott in hopes of him using his "idol," but he smirked and shook his head no.
Sugar's eyes narrowed in response and, like many times before, a shouting match ensued. "You SNAKE, you said you'd use the stinkin' idol on me if I was voted out! You lied, you snake, you played both Lightning and I," Sugar yelled.
"I would think a third place finisher would see this coming but, I mean, you two are both idiots. You actually thought I'd use this fake idol? Did you not watch my first season where I pulled the same shit on Dawn," Scott laughed, as he had once again played his team and allies.
"Lightning, please tell me you didn't vote for me," Sugar pleaded.
"Of course not. Sha 'Lightning considers you a friend, he would never do that," Lightning exclaimed. Scott's eyes widened at this, but he remained calm.
"Chef, I need a clean up at the bonfire pit," Chris yelled to the burly man. Chef walked over to the pit, picked up the angry pageant queen and walked her to the boat of losers. However her elimination was not in vain, as once again Scott's trickery had been revealed, and he had once again become public enemy number one.
"Well Scott, I can assure you that you'll be the next one gone after that stunt," Leshawna said, glaring at the farmer.
"We'll see about that, because you said that to Heather in season one, didn't you? And then she made it farther than you did," Scott smirked.
"That's it, buddy, you're going to wish you weren't born after this," Leshawna growled, rolling up her sleeves as she began to chase down the farm boy who quickly sped off.
Brick made a move to stop her but Eva grabbed his shoulder and shook her head saying, "He's earned this, just let it be."
Confessional, Lightning
I know one hundred percent that Scott will see his sha-doom. Lightning is gonna be a team of one from now on!
"Well this was an eventful episode, wasn't it? We got to revisit World Tour's glory as more drama ensued. Will Scott survive to the next episode? Will The Birds bounce back after losing two members in a row? Has Jo turned the Doves around after not losing today's challenge? And who will win Total Drama Island Revived?
Votes
Leshawna: As much as I hate Scott for what he did, he's been helping us in challenges and at least he didn't blow the challenge for us, unlike Sugar.
Brick: I don't like voting people off, but I'm going to have to vote Sugar off today.
Noah: Sugar, need I say more?
Sugar: I vote for Brick, as it appears it's my best shot at staying without having to use the idol. I just hope Eva votes our way like Scott says.
Scott: Bye bye Sugar, you served my purpose and now your usefulness has run out. And besides, you have made my life an absolute living hell since I got here. Good riddance.
Lightning: I vote for the two timer Scott. The guy seriously expects me to vote for my sha-friend Sugar?
Eva: I don't trust that weasel Scott, he needs to go. Especially if he's pulling the same kinda shit on Sugar that he pulled on Shawn.
And that's the chapter I hope you all enjoyed, and as I said I would do another team swap to justify Scott switching teams. I'm curious as to who you guys think will win let alone finish top three and who the saboteur is. And also I have made a Discord, here's the invite link for it if you want to join https(colon)(backslash)(backslash)discord(period)gg(backslash)rrEANE7
everything you need to know will be in the "rules" section of it. Please leave your reviews down below otherwise I don't have too much else to say.
RawrsumKris: the challenge wasn't really designed for interactions as it was mainly the eliminated campes trying to get back. As for betrayals I really don't see how that would have worked as it was a solo challenge so no one could betray each other. However if we ever decide to add interns in the story as a more constant character then we will CONSIDER putting your characters in.
Hopps Note: I see what you mean but maybe you should try finding actual SYOCs
Dice Twenty: I'm glad you enjoyed the latest chapter, and you're right Jo is going to be causing some drama, and we'll see if your saboteur guesses will be right or not. As for cameos those will lessen up however they will appear sometimes.
Hopps Note: Hey Dice, I'm glad you liked the appearance of the caleb
Parafin: I'm glad that you are happy with Jo coming back, and don't worry Jo will be causing some problems we didn't bring her back for no reason.
Hopps Note: Thanks for joining us Para. Hope you enjoy what we can do for Jo.
Nobody245: I'm glad you are enjoying this story. I agree Shawn was a favorite of mine as well however I felt Jo would bring more to the table in a return and sadly drew the short end of the stick early on being a fan favorite going out early. As for your guess I'll say that Trent is a solid guess and Noah is almost always being brought up however never the direct selection as the saboteur which I find interesting and Ryan as an OC would make sense however you'll just have to wait and see.
Hopps Note: Wow, thanks for looking at this. I'm glad that you're enjoying it. Trent is a good guess and the logic right now is sound. Noah is a good guess and so is Ryan.
Bridgekiel: I'm glad you're enjoying the story and that you like Ryan as an OC and I hope you keep reading.
Hopps Note: Thanks for reading and we hope to see you more.
Corn: I'm glad you reviewed my friend. I didn't foreshadow the returns too much because I wanted it to be a total shock, like I didn't want it to be expected at all. I apologize for the clunkiness but it wasn't really a story development chapter so that probably led to some clunkiness. As for the Blended Series nothing is final and we don't plan on starting that for a while. More info on it will have to be gathered from the Discord. Sierra still likes Cody but she's realized that he doesn't reciprocate those same feelings. Lastly the fact that you got Two things right, Sugar going and the BFFLs being in the team swap warrants a reward. If you get an account PM me a question I'll answer honestly, or you can ask it if you join the Discord.
Hopps Note: Seriously dude, you're such a great reviewer and we'd love for you to join the discord so get an account man!
