Author's Note
Here is the second part of the two-parter! This was also pretty easy to write, because it's like the story is already written for you. So, expect chapters to come out quicker. But don't worry, I've managed to make this chapter my own. Now, let's respond to some reviews…
Amazing Brayden: Thank you.
Jthm7izim: I can read and understand Spanish, but can't write it. (It makes more sense if you knew my context) So since you've read the chapter in English. I'll just respond to your reviews in English. That's the thing I like about shuffled stories. They really change the pace and feel of the story depending on the cast. And the more creative the author is, the better.
Critica7: I'll be addressing your response in the same way you've organized it.
Scott is most definitely a competent villain. And as of right now, the villain spot is still up-for-grabs. So we'll just have to see what happens. But just realize the fact that they're many other options for the main antagonist. They include, Scarlett, Sugar, Jo (I believe that they just never written Jo to her full potential) and Topher. (his obsessive personality may say otherwise)
Yeah, Courtney not being around Duncan really helps her character, especially in Island where she's not exactly shown her "true colors". The Scottney idea though… I won't say that it'll happen. I will say that it'll be explored…
Is that so, please elaborate on why in another review or PM when you have the chance.
Only time will tell.
Thank you.
Sonic155: Huh… you review has caught my eye.
Gucci Mane LaFlare: Yup, I was glad to realize that no one really has Courtney and Sammy interact in their fics. Shuffled or not, it hasn't really been done…
Phenomenal Excelsior: I can see where you're coming from when you talk about the predictable cast. Because Beth, Scott, the twins, Scarlett and Sugar seem to come up first in every Shuffled fic. But then there's people like Brick, Cameron, and the BFFFLs who you don't usually see till PI. Couples here will be both canon and fanon. Yup, the teams look both well-rounded. We'll see the drama that erupts on each side…
Stress2Impress: Thank you! The elimination order is really though because fodder isn't something that this cast has a lot of.
ShadowJcreed: Yup, but beware. In this story you're bound to be some of the more mean-spirited characters call her Samey. Yup, the main antagonist will probably a shock to some people. Seeing as a more logical choice is present. But, I'll discuss it later in the season.
Yolotsin Xochitl: Well, when she first came, Courtney was extremely nicer than in her other seasons. But I'll admit, that there were some moments in the chapter where she seemed more like Zoey than Courtney. So I'll attempt at fixing that in my writing. I didn't really understand what you said for your next statement though. So I'm gonna assume that you've been noticing that Cody has been in the first generation for a lot of Shuffled fics, and that you enjoy jock-type characters more. Personally, I prefer jock characters too but too much of everything gets annoying.
That One Guest: Hm, that's a good idea. I'll think about it.
Here are the teams that'll participate in today's cliff diving challenge.
Screaming Gophers: B, Courtney, Geoff, Harold, Izzy, Lightning, Sadie, Sammy, Scarlett, Scott, and Sugar.
Killer Bass: Amy, Beth, Brick, Cameron, Cody, Dakota, Jo, Katie, Sam, Topher, and Trent.
Now, let's get into some cliff-diving, hot tub building action!
Episode 2 – Not So Happy Campers, Part 2
"Last time on Total Drama Island!" the camera showed a long-distance shot of Chris standing on the dock, starting of the recap with a shot of all 22 campers at the campfire pit. "Twenty-two campers have signed up to spend eight weeks right here at this crummy old summer camp, then have to face the judgment of their fellow campers."
"It's our first challenge, comrade. The difficulty levels should be really low." Brick said as the clip of him talking to Katie was shown. The quick switch to cliff was also replayed as well.
"Oh, sh*t." Scott cursed.
(Transition to Theme Song)
[Many shots of the lights and hidden cameras popping out and turning on were shown. Mostly hurting the wildlife in the process. A cue card shifts the shot over to the dock. The camera immediately starts to fly by the 'Wawanakwa' sign, some buildings on the campgrounds, and Chris who's in a director's chair drinking coffee. The lyrics begin once the camera passes the host.]
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
[The camera zips past some trees, going up the cliff that left us on a cliffhanger last episode. Peeking over to see two rings made of buoys arranged in the water below.]
You guys are on my mind!
[The viewpoint changes as if someone jumped off the cliff and into the lake; Cameron is shown in his bubble, observing the area with glee. As a fish swims by him, a fishing hook pierces and makes a big hole in his bubble, leaving Cameron to get out of the bubble and flail his arms in despair.]
Ya asked me what I wanted to be,
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
[The camera surfaces, showing B and Scarlett in a canoe, B was shown controlling the motorized fishing rod. Cameron suddenly surfaces barely hanging on to the canoe. As B awkwardly glances at him. The contraption malfunctions and Cameron's bubble flies high into the air.]
I wanna be… famous!
[The bubble hangs in the air momentarily before coming back down. A pan down reveals Jo punching a tied-up punching with extreme passion. Brick promptly jogs past her. Jo gets angered by this and attempts to catch up to the cadet. Only for the pierced bubble to drape over Jo's head. The camera zooms out to show Courtney and Scott watching the scene unfold, Scott laughs at Jo's misfortune and Courtney rolls her eyes at his behavior.]
I wanna live close to the sun!
[The camera goes to another part of camp, Sam and Dakota were sitting on an inflatable raft. Both on their respective favorite devices. Too pre-occupied with their devices, they don't notice quick enough and go over the edge.]
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
[At the bottom of the waterfall, Lightning was striking several different poses on a broken log, suspended over two rocks. During the middle of that, he missed Izzy flying in on a vine from off-screen. She promptly crashes into Lightning, and they're both sent off-screen.]
Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;
[The camera barely keeps up with Lightning and Izzy, panning rapidly to do so. They crash into the outhouse confessional, causing Sugar to unceremoniously fall out with her pants fall the way down, with a pixilation over the part of her body that can't be shown on television. The camera begins to pan to the window in the Main Lodge, Chef could be seen through it.]
I'll get there one day.
[The camera moves past the window. Chef was shown stirring a pot of something, pukeworthy green directly with his arm. He looked behind himself to show Harold and Cody tied up in chairs, sharing the nervous at what's about to come.]
'Cause I wanna be… famous!
[A pan left shows Topher holding a picture of something admiring it happily. He flips the picture over, revealing it to be Chris when he was in a teenage boy band. Holding a guitar proudly alongside three other people. The camera goes past another window and to the stairs near the docks. Katie and Sadie were shown to be admiring Trent who was tuning his guitar just a couple feet away.]
(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
[Just down the docks, Sammy and Geoff were shown lounging on lounge chairs, chatting it up. Amy defiantly flips the chair Sammy was sitting down, laughing hysterically. Sammy turns red awkwardly as Geoff gives Sammy a concerning look.]
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
[The camera quick-pans ahead stopping at a waving Beth. Beth backs up and begins to twirl her baton at a great rate speed. So much so, that it looks like it's about to catch on fire. She cluelessly throws the baton up into the air.]
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
[The time transitions from day to night as the baton stays in the air. As the baton comes down, the sparks from it turns into fireflies. The camera pans down to reveal Sam and Dakota sitting at the campfire, gazing in each other's eyes. They lean in for a kiss, only for it to be interrupted by a crazed Izzy popping up between them, wrapping her arms around them for a hug. The camera pulls out slowly revealing the rest of the cast, whistling the last few notes of the theme song with Chris watching by the side.]
(Transition to Episode)
The same shot of the whole cliff was used to start off today's episode. The shot switched over to a group of camper peering over the edge.
"Okay! Today's challenge is threefold." Chris began as the camera panned over to him. He stood beside a crate with its logo being a yellow chicken. "Your first task is to jump off this one thousand foot-high cliff, into the lake!"
The camera cut to Cody and Topher confidently looking at each other. "Easy." Cody said. Topher nodded in agreement.
"If you look down, you will see two target areas." Chris informed, the camera cut to show two rings made entirely of buoys. One ring was extremely bigger than the other. "The wider area represents the part of the lake, that we have stocked with,"
The camera cut down to an area in the wider area, three finned creatures were swimming in circles down in the water. One jumped out to snap its teeth at air, revealing its species.
"psychotic, man-eating sharks! Inside that area is a safe zone." the wary reactions of the campers were shown couple by couple. "That's your target area. Which, we're pretty sure is shark-free."
"Care to repeat that?" Courtney asked from well away from the edge of the cliff.
"For each member of your team that jumps and actually, survives." Chris put extra emphasis on 'survives'. "There will be a crate of supplies waiting below." the camera quick-panned to the shore below them where numerous crates waited for the campers.
"Inside each crate, are supplies you'll need for the second part of the challenge." Chris explained furthermore. "Building a hot tub!" a game show like tune played as a correctly built hot tub was shown against a radiant yellow and orange background.
"The team with the best one gets to have a wicked hot tub party tonight." the host pointed at the camera. The shot moved over to sunset, where two abandoned suitcases sat at the end of the dock. "The losers, will be sending someone home."
"Let's see, Killer Bass! You're up first!" Chris told them. Sam slowly peeked over the edge warily.
"Woah," he chuckled. "that sure is a long drop. Any volunteers." the camera cut to the rest of the Bass. Crickets could be heard as they stayed silent. The camera moved to the Gophers, who stayed silent as well, but for one.
"I ain't gotta clue why you guys ain't jumpin'." Sugar told the Bass. "This is TV y'all! They always make dem interns do everything first. That's why we're doin' it!"
A ripple effect transitioned the scene into a flashback of earlier events. Chris and Chef were now on the edge of the cliff. Chef wore no shirt, only purple swim trunks and an orange swim tube.
"We need to test the stunts first, you know that." Chris told the hulking man.
"Do I look like an intern?" Chef countered.
"No, but the ones we had are all in the hospital. Come on, just jump it you big chicken." Chris began to taunt his co-worker by imitating a chicken.
"I don't get paid enough for this man." Chef grunted as he put on his swimming goggles. He took a big leap off the mountain, screaming his lungs out. Down in the lake, the camera focused on the safe area, the camera panned away to where Chef landed. Which is where Chris claimed that there were sharks.
"Hey! I made it!" Chef grinned as he surfaced. "I made it man. I-" Chef's face went horrified, looking around for some unspecified thing. Coincidentally, a shark fin began to circle him. "Something just brushed by my foot! Ay Chris man! Somethin' ain't right down there!" promptly he was pulled down by something underwater.
As the chef jumped out of the water, legs running in place as he was in the air, as the shark jumped Chef vacated, yelling nonsense. A cut back up to Chris shows him with a clipboard and satisfied with the results.
"Well," he marked something on the clipboard and walked away. "that seems safe enough." Another ripple effect put the scene back into real time, focusing on Jo.
"If no one else is gonna step up to the plate, I'll go." Jo proceeded to walk past her teammates who cheered for her bravery.
"Atta girl!" Topher cheered.
"You got this Jo!" Trent said.
"Pretend you're the Level 10. Diver from Diver's Paradise 4! She has loads of accuracy!" Sam gave his own input. Earning weird looks from Topher and Trent. "What? It's a good game. Great graphics too."
"I don't care!" Jo yelled off-screen. The shot moved to her readying up to dive. "I already have loads of accuracy. This is child's play." she boasted, swan diving off the cliff. The camera followed her as she fell. The camera cut to the safe area right before she made it. Once she surfaced, she waved back up at her teammates and smiled. A boat promptly arrived to pick her up.
"She actually did it?" Topher pondered aloud, looking over the edge with Trent. "Huh, I'm impressed."
"I expected it." Cameron said, walking past the two to the front. Topher looked unimpressed as the bubble nerd passed while Trent looked unbothered. "Jo's physique suggests major athleticism in any physical activity."
"So, are you going to jump?" Topher asked.
Cameron gaped and shook his head. "No! This is way too high for me!"
"Then get out of the way." Topher shoved the nerd aside to make room for himself. "Chris needs to be impressed. Impressed, by someone like me."
"You know what impresses him?" Trent raises an eyebrow.
"Yes." Topher answered, Trent waited for an explanation. "Drama."
The camera cut to Cameron adjusting his glasses absentmindedly. Topher abruptly grabbed the boy, raising him in the air.
"I want my bubble! I want my bubble!" Cameron shrieked, not knowing what's going on.
"Hey, put him down!" Trent interjected, helping Cameron back to land. "If he doesn't want to jump, let him. It's just one person. I'm sure that the Gophers won't have anyone jump."
Topher crossed his arms. "Twerp." he insulted Cameron. Cameron didn't notice at the insult, continuing to walk to Chris.
"So, you're not jumping?" Chris asked the nerd. Cameron shook his head admittedly. "Thanks okay, lil' guy." a touching tune played in the background. "Unfortunately, that also makes you a chicken. So, you'll have to wear this for the rest of the day." Chris put a chicken hat on Cameron's head. The African-Canadian beamed with joy.
"Wonderful! My first hat!" he exclaimed.
"Um, glad you like it." Chris said, unsure of what to say. "That means, the chicken path down, is that-a-way." he pointed over to a down escalator. Cameron happily ran over to it.
"How do I ride this thing?" he asked incredulously.
"Just step on it dude." Chris told him, sick of answering all his questions. Cameron cautiously took one step on it and rambunctiously tumbled down it, shouting in terror. His teammates watched in remorse. Wincing with each thud.
"Augh, my pelvis." Cameron groaned, reaching the end of the cliff.
"I kind of feel bad for the little man." Trent told Topher.
"I don't," Topher said nonchalantly. "as long as Chris sees why I'm more valuable. Maybe he'll just give me the hundred thousand." Trent rolled his eyes as Topher was out-of-view.
Confessional: Trent
"Yeah that Topher dude…" Trent started his video diary distracted. "not somebody I'd hang out with back home."
"Ya gonna jump dude?" Topher asked the guitarist.
"Yeah yeah, eventually." Trent waved him off, focusing on something else. Topher merely shrugged, jumping off the cliff without second guessing it.
Katie was focused on next, pouting sadly near the Gophers. Amy walked up to her in her usual attitude. "What're you moping around for?"
"Just look at Sadie." Katie moaned. The more logical BFFFL sadly waved at Katie with her team surrounded her. Katie waved back and sighed. "It's like we're in different worlds."
"Worlds- You just waved at her!" Amy insisted. "You know what, forget it. You're acting like a total Samey right now."
"I'm right here!" Sammy yelled off-screen.
"Samey's are like, totally useless. Like not important at all." Amy smiled devilishly. "So, if you wanna be a Samey for the rest of your life…" Katie promptly got up and walked over to the edge of the cliff.
"It's okay, I'll do the challenge on my own." Katie decided. "You bullying your sister isn't gonna be the reason I help us win today."
Amy began to splutter in bitterness. "B- Bullying? How dare you say that!"
"It's true." Katie crossed her arms defiantly. "Everybody thinks so."
"That is not true." Amy defended her own words.
"Yes, it is." Beth agrees with Katie, even siding right by her. "You're so totally mean to Sammy."
"Yuck, why are you calling her that?" Amy gags. "Only Mommy calls Samey Sammy."
"You should also be calling Samey Sammy because Sammy is Sammy's real name, not Samey Amy." Beth said.
"What?" Katie asked, noticing Beth over-complicating that sentence. "You said like seven different names."
"I did?' Beth asked herself, clueless to what she said herself.
"Yeah Daddy?" Dakota whispered off-screen. The camera panned to The Fame Monger, hunched over so she could shield her phone from view. "I'm on my first backup phone. We're doing some cliff-diving challenge." as footsteps were heard getting louder, Dakota wrapped up the call. "Hold on, I'll call you back."
Chris walked up to the phone user. Sternly noticing the hands behind her back. "Hey Dakota, who were you just talking to?"
"Oh nobody." she giggled awkwardly. "Just, minding my own business."
"Oh yeah? Then what's this?" Chris grabbed her backup phone from behind her. Dakota sulked in defeat. "You have a challenge going on. As if that even matters. Speaking of challenges…" Chris observed the amount of Bass that remained on the cliff. "They're still eight of you up here! You guys need to get jumping!"
"Um, not until you give me back my phone!" Dakota said, holding her palm out for Chris to comply. Instead, the host chucked the phone into the air. Dakota went running after it, pushing Trent over in the process.
"Woah." he said from the ground.
Just as the phone was about to go over, Dakota jumped the edge and caught it. She realized that she was off the ground and began to pierce the air with her shrieks.
"WOO!" Trent cheered as he started off what seemed to be a montage of everyone jumping. Once he fell below the camera, Katie took his spot.
"Sadie!" she shouted as she went down.
"I hate Samey!" Amy yelled, taking Katie's spot.
"Make room for me down there!" Cody said, calling out to all his teammates that fell before him. Brick simply stayed silent as he was shown falling through the sky.
The camera stayed on Brick as he fell through the sky. Looking at the camera blankly. Sam and Beth still remained on the cliff for the Bass, Sam still peered over the edge while Beth stayed as far from the edge as she could.
"My horror levels are through the roof!" Sam laughed, turning to Beth for a reaction.
"I don't think I'll be able to jump." she cowered, biting her nails in worry. "This is a really high cliff."
"But, you'll be a chicken." Sam told her, defiant at just the mention of a chicken. Beth made a noise of discomfort, burying her head in her hands.
"Hey dweebs!" Jo called from the shore. "Either you jump right now, or I'll climb back up here, and help you out!" Beth gulped in fear from Jo's threat.
"Well, guess I gotta do it." she mewled. She began to walk over to where Sam was standing, a tiny pebble caught her foot. Letting the farm girl tumble forward. Just her luck, she didn't touch land straight after. Plummeting down the cliff in straight confusion. Sam winced at beth's misfortune.
"Ouch." he said, clenching his teeth. "Just pretend you're a Level 16. Super Mega Intense Diver from Diver's Paradise 9. Hardcore Edition. He has mega confidence and a will to go on. Come on Samuel, you can do this." he told himself, raising his spirits. He calmly hopped off the ledge. The camera followed him until a metallic clang was heard. His teammates specifically Dakota, Cody and Katie winced at his louds bellows of pain. Sam was folded over one of the buoys. Groaning as he slid off of it slowly and painfully.
"Okay," Chris said atop of the cliff, looking ahead with amusement. "that's ten jumpers and one chicken." he turned to the opposing team and grinned. "Screaming Gophers, if you can get all 11 team members to jump we'll throw in a pull cart to put your crates on." the same jingle that was used earlier was played again, focusing on the wooden pull cart.
"Alright!" Geoff exclaimed. "So, who's up first?" more crickets played at the cause of another silent team. Much to Geoff's disappointment. "Come on, guys! You heard Chris, he said all of us need to jump in order for us to get the cart."
"Lightning for the win!" the uber-jock shouts , barging past Geoff as if he were a linebacker. Lightning swiftly dived off the cliff. His athleticism showing through his form. He splashed in the middle of the zone. Once he surfaced, he struck a celebratory pose. Grinning at the camera. "And that's how Lightning sha-does it!"
"Woah," Izzy murmured, covering her mouth before sporting a wacky grin. "that looked like fun! Okay me next!" she began to back up for a running start, worrying her teammates.
"You don't really need a running start Izzy." Sammy told her. Courtney huffed side-by-side.
"Let her,it's her problem." Courtney said.
"Better move back…" Izzy warns her teammates, smirking at her future actions. "'cause this is about to be big!" she lets out a war cry, sprinting down the ledge. She sprints with so much dedication that she doesn't even exactly jump off the ledge. More so, running off it. The view stays put as Izzy's screams occupy everyone. A solid splash followed by Izzy's long and distorted grunt clued her teammates in on her apparent belly flop.
"Urgh…" she groaned, her speech formed into bubbles as she sank underwater.
An upward shot showed Courtney, Scarlett and Harold looking down at Izzy's obvious failure. "Ow… that must've hurt."
"Arbitrary." Scarlett took her glasses off and stuck them in her wet suit. "now I must learn from her miscalculation and correct it."
"That girl's got smarts, huh?" Geoff nudged Harold slyly.
"I have smarts too!" Harold told his fellow camper. "My squad in Battlefront, has own ten online player gaming titles. The secret to our success, teamwork."
"Nice bro." Geoff congratulated, fist bumping The Dweeb after a period of thought.
"Wow, virtual titles." Scott grunts. Disapproving of the two boys' interaction. "So cool."
"Yeah, thanks!" Harold said, oblivious to the sarcasm just bleeding out of Scott.
"What's got you creased?" Geoff asks genuinely. Hoping to lift to dirt farmer's mood.
"Right now? You." Scott goes on his way after his cold-hearted response. Geoff and Harold glance at each other before shrugging in unison. The camcorder moves back to Scarlett. She began to stretch as Sadie, Sammy and Courtney all watched. Scott walked up to them, still bitter from before.
"You haven't jumped already?" he shouted.
"Negative Scott," Scarlett turns to the boy in a dull manner. "I'm here attempting to become limber for my leap. Which'll help our team obtain the cart for an advantage to defeat the opposing team. Now let's observe you, you've done nothing but berate everyone on this team. Just like Sammy's sibling. Who I've happened to forget the name of."
"Amy." Sammy told her.
"Amy." Scarlett narrowed her eyes at Scott glaringly. "So, I'd advise you to stay clear of my actions, or make yourself useful and aid me in stretching." Scott scowled and walked back to his spot far from the edge. Scarlett grinned darkly. "That's what I had convicted."
Courtney sighed with a smile. "You tell 'em." she praised her intelligent teammate.
"Courtney…" Sammy muttered. "that was really harsh."
"It's what he deserves." Courtney told her, looking back at the farm boy.
Confessional: Scott
"This island is complete torture!" he began to rant, raising his arms in the air and bulging his eyes. "My teammates are actual morons, I mentioned killing rats to Sadie and she said, ew. Ew?"
Courtney focused her newfound attention onto Sadie, who wasn't fazed much by Katie's absence. "Hey, how come you aren't crying over Katie? Don't you miss her?"
"I do so miss her!" Sadie cried, going back to her calm state in a matter of seconds. "I'm just, over it? I guess?" Courtney and Sammy gaped, glancing at each other in the process.
"Over it? But you were just crying over it when Chris was announcing the teams." Sammy noted.
Sadie's lip began to quiver, bursting into tears not long after. Courtney and Sammy took a breath of relief. Yet siding the BFFFL to comfort her.
"Not gonna lie, I'm kinda relieved." Courtney told the two as she patted Sadie's semi-bare back. "I started to think that Katie was more sensitive than you. Not that it would be a bad thing, though."
"So why would you bring it up-" Sammy got cut off by a sudden smack to the gut by Courtney.
"No, Katie's still more sensitive than me." Sadie revealed. "But I still feel her pain. We haven't been apart of a while since like preschool!"
"Dang, me and Amy don't talk to each other at school at all." Sammy reports to everyone else. "Well, she bullies me, but I just ignore her."
"Okay, are you gonna be okay with Amy here?" Courtney asked. "I mean, she bullies you on the clock!"
"Meh, I've gotten used to it." Sammy admitted, sulking. "That's kind of sad."
"Have you told your mom?" Sadie interjected.
"Yep, but even she ignores it most of the time." Sammy said. Courtney and Sadie began to whimper in sympathy. "It's fine guys. I get way better grades than Amy. Plus, no one likes her beside the brats at school. I'm okay."
Sadie began to walk forward, still staring at Sammy understandingly. "Well okay, hey!" she began to cheer up quickly. "Wanna jump with me?"
"Nah, I'm good." Courtney declined quickly. "I'll jump soon."
"And I hafta talk to her." Sammy pointed towards Courtney, who raised an eyebrow in suspicion.
"You do?" Courtney said. Sadie waved goodbye at her female companions and leaped off the cliff. Wailing nonsense the whole way down. Once her splash was heard, the two continued to converse.
"Why'd you hit me earlier?" Sammy asked. "When you asked about Katie."
"Because in this game, you need to know anything and everything about your competition." Courtney explains with confidence, not letting her assertive attitude drift away. "Now that we know Katie is sensitive, we can do things with that!"
"So you want to help benefit this team by eliminating Sadie's best friend?" Sammy asks in shock.
"I didn't say that…" Courtney smirks.
Sammy began to twiddle with her fingers as she dived into her next subject. "Hey Courtney? Can I ask you something?"
"Shoot." Courtney replied.
"Are we like, friends now?" Sammy questioned, rarely looking up from her fidgeting fingers.
Courtney looks up at Sammy, smiling intently. "Yeah, why wouldn't we be?"
"Oh, no reason. I don't have many friends back at school so I wanted to make sure that-" Sammy began to ramble on until Courtney forcefully ceased her talking.
"Look, if Amy is the reason you're self-esteem is really low, maybe we should do something about Amy?" Courtney tried to persuade the shy twin.
"No it's fine. I'll deal." Sammy sulks. Courtney gives her a hug to comfort her.
"It's okay Sammy," Courtney reassured her. "but you need to know how to stand up for yourself. Because sooner or later, Amy's just gonna poke fun at you again."
"Probably once we get down there." Sammy groaned. But she gasped, smiled, and began to clap in front of her chest excitedly. "Can you teach me how to do that?"
Courtney chuckled and calmed the cheerleader down. "Down girl, heel! Sure, I guess I can mentor you for a while. But do gotta do what I say, when I say it. Deal?"
"Deal!" Sammy eagerly shook his with the Hispanic, startling Courtney a bit. Scott promptly walks past the two, sporting a snarky look.
"Tea party's over ladies." he commented. Courtney began to growl at Scott, he ran away in fright right off the cliff. He stood suspended in the air until he noticed so in real time.
"What's with that guy?" Sammy asks Courtney, referring awkwardly to Scott.
Courtney blanked out for a second before responding to Sammy's question. "Oh Scott? He's just stubborn. I don't like him."
"So, should I not like him too or…" Sammy blindly asks.
"No, I don't care who you wanna talk to here." Courtney remarked as politely as she could be. "I'd say to steer clear of him though. I don't trust him."
"Okay…" Sammy began to look dazed. "being strategically smart is hard. How are you so good at it?"
"Two words." Courtney held up two fingers. "Class. President."
Confessional: Sammy
"I really admire Courtney. She's the first person that I'm warming up to here." Sammy compliments her teammate. "She's got a good head on her shoulders. So having her be my temporary mentor is kind of… exhilarating. But what makes Courtney being my mentor confusing is that while I look up to her, Courtney looks up to Scarlett. Scarlett's kinda rude to some people. So if Courtney gets what she's teaching me from Scarlett. I'm better off just getting bullied by Amy."
As the camera returned to the scene, B and Sugar were shown standing near a th edge. B looking more confident than Sugar.
"Man, this challenge gon' get my hair wet!" Sugar complained. "Well, I ain't gon' have Chris put no dang chicken hat on me!" B just looked at her and nodded. "How come you haven't talked yet? What're you hidin'?"
B just shrugged uncomfortably. Sugar remained skeptical until she gasped in realization. "Are you one of those movin' statue thingies?" B shrugged once more, cannonballing off the cliff. Sugar returned skeptical without an answer. "Hmmph, I don't trust that barnyard fowl." Sugar jumped with all her might off the cliff, cackling as she plummeted into the lake.
"It's my turn!" Harold shouted, he fist-pumped Geoff and began to run to the ledge. He jumped, but unlike the other contestants who jumped forward. Harold had jumped straight up, so when he came back down, a loud wail proved that he hurt a part of his body that shouldn't be hurt.
"AAAAGH!" the redhead cried, various shots of people wincing at the dweeb's misfortune was shown. First Geoff and Sammy, then the Bass on the shore and even the sharks waiting below to digest one of them.
"Awww!" Harold groaned as he clutched his groin, a slight lean forward sent the injured boy down the cliff silently. But although his current injury, Harold still managed to land in the safe zone.
"Ay! You got it dude!" Geoff cheered. Harold didn't even surface before raising a thumbs-up. He turned polite, focusing his attention on the two girls before him. "Ladies first."
"Um, I'm not jumping." Courtney remarked, backing up behind Geoff.
"What? Why?" Sammy cried in shock. "But we won't get the pull cart."
"I am a C-I-T." Courtney stated. "Not a daredevil. This is a daredevil stunt."
"Courtney, " Geoff wrapped his arm around the Hispanic, whose eyes bulged in uncomfort. "there's a reason we're all on this show."
"To win a hundred grand?" she asked dully.
"No, to participate in adrenaline-pumping stunts that we haven't done before!" Geoff explained.
"That's not why I'm here Geoff." Courtney, took Geoff's arm off of her and began to walk over to Chris.
"Well, it is now!" Geoff promptly pulled back the Hispanic where Sammy and himself stood. "Like, why don't you wanna jump."
"Because this is stupid and I'm better than that." Courtney told him.
"Are you?" Geoff chuckled. Courtney gasped and swiftly hit Geoff in the arm. "Oww," Geoff rubbed his arm. "all I'm trying to say is that, when you go back to school. Wouldn't you wanna brag about jumping off a cliff?" Courtney stayed put in thought, smiling slyly.
"Well…" she began. "I've always had trouble gaining the surfer dudes votes in the campaign..." she shrugged it off and grinned. "Alright sure."
"Eee!" Sammy squealed as Geoff gave her a thumbs-up.
Confessional: Courtney
"Mental note: Geoff is a really good motivator." Courtney noted, mildly envious that her teammate is capable of doing so.
"Cowabunga dude!" Geoff did a full frontflip as he jumped off the cliff. "WOO!" he screamed, Sammy sighed dreamily at the party boy. Courtney grabbed her hand, startling her out of her enticed state.
"Let's go." Courtney said. "Together." Sammy smiled back as they both ran off the cliff yelling - Sammy in excitement, Courtney in horror. The camera cut to the safe zone as they dropped inside of it. Geoff treading water there for moral support.
"Wow, they actually did it." Chris remarked from the cliff. "The winners, The Screaming Gophers!"
"That was awesome, brah'." Geoff exclaimed. He noticed Courtney's frightened expression. "What's wrong?"
"I'm never cliff diving ever again." Courtney said, clearly traumatized from the experience. Sounds of disapproval were heard from Geoff and Sammy as the scene zoomed outward slowly at a long-distance angle.
The camera faded out and back in to The Screaming Gophers pulling the four carts in several pairs. B and Harold, Courtney and Sammy, Sugar and Sadie, and Scarlett and Geoff. Scott, Izzy and Lightning were scattered around beside them. All 11 were singing a song joyfully to pass the time.
"Forty-nine bottles of pop on the wall! Forty-nine bottles of pop! If one of those bottles should happen to fall, forty-eight bottles of pop on the wall!" they sang, different shots of people singing showed.
/
The camera promptly moved to the Bass, struggling heavily to transfer the crates over to the campgrounds. "Come on, 'Prairie Girl'. Use your strength." Jo told a struggling Beth as she walked by.
"I'm, trying!" Beth replied, attempting to use her body strength to move the crate. Beth quit speedily and leaned against the crate tiredly.
"Oh, I'm sorry." Jo continued. "Looks like you need strength to use it." Jo snickered mean-spiritedly as beth sulked in disappointment.
"Dude, she's trying her best." Trent interjected, ditching his crate to join the conversation. "Not everyone is athletic like you."
"They should at least be able to push a small crate!" Jo argued, putting down her crate to face the guitarist.
"Well not everyone is capable of that Jo." Trent responded.
"Oh whatever," Jo blew him off, picking her crate again and walking forward. "we'll see who's the one going home early." Beth gulped in fear, Trent sided by her.
"Don't worry," he calmed her down gently. "as long as we win tonight, no one from our team goes home. Let's just head to the campgrounds. Ignore Jo."
"Thanks Trent." Beth grinned, giving the musician a bear hug. Trent's eyes darted around in fear of someone witnessing this happen.
Confessional: Beth
"Jo's really mean." Beth stated with her arms crossed. "She's always picking on me just because I'm not athletic like her. Wow," she said in wonder, "it's only been the first day here and things have got off to a really shaky start." she began to suck her thumb obliviously.
"So I gotta ask," Topher started, running up to Amy as if he was some news reporter. "what's with you and Samey?"
"She's just bad." Amy responded certainly. "At everything she does. So it's bad enough that people say I look like her, because just look at me. I, am a goddess. And Samey is just a pig who smells."
"Right, gotcha." Topher nods, smirking intensely. "If only she was on this team, the drama would be impeccable!"
"Sure, whatever." Amy said, not knowing nor caring about a word Topher had just said. "If Samey was on this team, I'd make sure that she was like, the first one voted off."
"Cool." Topher remarked. "Okay, I'm gonna catch up with everyone else. Bye!" Amy stood still with confusion as the fanboy departed.
/
Brick was shown easily carrying the crate, until he dropped it in pain. "Ack! This cadet's just gotten a splinter."
"Deal with it, 'Brick-for-Brains." Jo commented as she walked by.
"I beg your pardon?" Brick asked. "The welfare of your fellow teammates is a serious thing to be addressed."
"I long as we win, I don't care." Jo said. Brick frowned in displeasure.
"You most certainly should care!" Brick yelled. Amy walked past him sporting a TO'd look.
"Get over it." she told him.
"Hey! I'm the only one with true military cadet experience." Brick informed the girls. "I'm needed in this platoon!" Amy and Jo shared an equally interested look. The camera returned to the Gophers effortlessly pulling their carts around.
"Thirty-two bottles of pop on the wall! Thirty-two bottles of pop!" Sugar was shown bending over to pick up a shell. She put it to her ear like a phone, dropping it once her teammates left her. "If one of those bottles should happen to fall…"
A cut back to the Bass showed Cody smoothly fixing his posture from pushing the crate forward to inform his team. "I gotta take a leak." he said, pointing back where they came from, passing Cameron.
"Yes, I too must urinate." Cameron giggled, jogging over to Cody. 'The Ladies' Man' entered the forest coolly. Cameron had just stared at the boy blankly before going off into a different part of said forest.
As Dakota continued to walk forward, not pushing any crate. A fly began to buzz around her. Pestering the city girl. "Ew! Get away from me, you stupid fly!" as she flailed her arms in an attempt at killing the creature, she whacked herself dead in the forehead. "Ow!"
/
"...should happen to fall. Twenty-eight bottles of pop on the wall." the Gophers recited, they promptly stopped and looked ahead in excitement.
"Guys! I see the campgrounds!" Izzy yelled from atop B and Harold's crate. Pointing eagerly at the cabins.
"That was quick." Geoff smiled at Sammy.
"I know right." Sammy said, returning Geoff's smile.
/
Katie and Jo were waiting beside a crate, Cody returned to his crate followed by Cameron. "Are you finished?"
"Yeah." Cody told Jo, he pointed finger guns and clicked his tongue at katie, who giggled in a middle-school fashion.
"Yes, Jo." Cameron started. "My bladder is emptied." Jo and Katie shot disgusted looks at the bubble boy as went on his way.
"Can we go already?" Dakota complained from up ahead, still trying to banish the fly. "The fly is really bugging me."
Sam chuckled lightheartedly. "I get it. Bugging you. And the fly's a bug." he chuckled some more, with noticing Dakota's lost expression the gamer ceased his laughter.
"Huh?" Dakota asked.
"Never mind." Sam sighed, blushing fiercely as he went back to pushing his crate.
/
The Gophers appeared to be trying to open their crate. What was questionable was the method they were using to open the crates. But Chris had arrived to explain to the audience.
"Remember, you guys can only use your teeth to open the crates. I came up with that one." he added to the camera. Izzy was clearly trying her best to pull the rope with her teeth, grunting and all. It finally paid off though, as the crate began to creak and twitch.
"Hey, I think I got it open." Izzy shouted, the box had creaked some more before it fully broke apart, causing Harold to flinch. Izzy promptly recoiled in pain.
"Ow ow!" she screamed, sticking her tongue out for all to see. "Rope burn on my tongue!"
/
"Okay, this fly is getting on my like, last nerve!" Dakota complained irately. "Can someone kill it for me!" the fly began to toy with the girl, landing onto her head 'on cue'. Dakota shrieked loudly, and began to ruffle up her hair. By now, Chris had pulled up in his ATV.
"You guys, are way behind the other team." Chris emphasized. "Like, way behind. What's the problem."
"Some fly was bugging me." Dakota said off-screen. When the camera returned to Dakota, her hair looked like it was badly unkempt. Earning a huge flinch from the host.
"Gah! Oh my boxers, that's bad." Chris told Dakota, as if she didn't already know.
"Did ya get that fly?" Sam asked out of curiosity.
"Yeah, I think so." Dakota began to touch her hair and started to panic. "Oh no, I'm hideous aren't I?"
"Oh, no no!" Sam said, attempting to calm the girl's nerves down. "You look," Sam took in a nervous gulp before fully answering. "beautiful just the way you are."
Dakota paused for a moment before saying something. "Aww thanks!" a light tune played as Sam blushed wildly at his obvious crush's reaction.
/
The scene focused back onto the Gophers, now all of the searched through the crates expectedly.
"Hey y'all!" Sugar gained attention, holding up a few pieces of wood. "I found sum' wood!"
"I got hammers, and I think a pool liner." Scott spoke up, holding up what he found. Meanwhile, Sammy began to approach Geoff, who was still searching his crate.
"Hey, I just wanted to thank you for earlier." Sammy meekly started. "Y'know, with the cliff and helping Courtney dive."
"No problemo, amiga." Geoff coolly said. "It's just what I do." Sammy began to giggle and blush, looking into the party boy's eyes. Geoff did the same for Sammy. As they looked into each other's eyes, Courtney interrupted the two by jumping in the middle of them.
"Hey, Sammy." Courtney greeted, clearly attempting to break up their bond. "I need some help opening my crate. Can you help me?"
"Uh, sure." Sammy agreed, giving Courtney a look of uncertainty. She turned to Geoff and smiled again. "Bye Geoff."
"Later, Sammy." Geoff said. Sammy waved back at him as she followed Courtney away from the team. A different angle of the two switched as one of them began to talk.
"So, where's your crate?" Sammy dumbfoundedly asked.
"There is none." Courtney told her plainly. Sammy raised an eyebrow.
"Then why did you-"
"Because you can't be too nice to anyone." Courtney said. "Ever."
"Why?" Sammy asked. "He's really nice."
"You can never know though," Courtney remarked. "have you never seen these type of shows?"
"I have. Me and Amy would place bets on them all the time." Sammy faltered after a brief pause. "She still owes me $25."
"The overly-nice people never win." Courtney tried to teach Sammy. "We have to stay clear of everybody."
"But, he seems really cool." Sammy said, pointing back at Geoff. "I wanna get to know him better."
"Okay…" Courtney finally turned to the cheerleader. "but please be careful with him. I don't want you to get voted off."
"Don't worry, I never talk to people for a while." Sammy began to overthink it, talking faster and faster. "I usually embarrass myself in front of them. And then they never talk to me ever again. And then Amy makes fun of me for like, forever. And then-"
"Sammy!" Courtney grabbed her by the shoulders, shaking her out of her current state.
"Oh right." she muttered. "I rambled again."
"You're thinking too deep into this. Just act casual. Not too overbearing. Not too meek. Just be, you. The real Sammy." Courtney told her. Sammy smiled.
"Thanks Courtney." Sammy thanked, it was awkward after that sentence as they didn't do what to do. "Should we hug, or…"
"Yeah maybe we should-" Courtney began.
"Yeah we should." Sammy said, they promptly gave each other a heartwarming hug, both girls smiling.
/
Izzy, along with Lightning and Sugar were shown crowding around a crate. They looked to their side as a few member of the Killer Bass (Brick, Katie and Trent) arrived with the crates, panting in exhaustion. "Finally." Trent remarked.
"Hey what took you guys so long?" Harold questioned, abruptly popping out of the crate, mildly alerting the trio surrounding him.
The trio of Bass just glanced at each other secretly. "I'm afraid that's none of your concern." Brick told them decisively.
"Sure…" Lightning crossed his arms. "Lightning knows you guys are sha-trash."
"Yeah, you guys would never win one of my pageants." Sugar added, Brick and Trent quickly glanced at each other in the process of hearing Sugar.
Katie walked over to Izzy, who was mindlessly banging a hammer on the edge of the crate. "Have to seen Sadie anywhere?" the BFFFL asked the redhead.
"Who's Sadie." Izzy responded, who's genuinely forgotten who her fair-skinned teammate was.
"I think she's in the washrooms." Harold spoke up, putting one leg after the other in attempt to get out of the wooden crate. Katie began to clap and squeal eagerly once Harold finished his sentence.
"Thanks you guys!" she ran off in the direction of the washrooms. Izzy and Harold shared a shrug in unison, wand respectively went back to minding their business.
/
A time skip forward brought Brick standing atop one of the crates, standing firmly as if he was about to address something.
"Okay team, sure we've just got to the campgrounds, and maybe we're a tad behind the Gophers, but don't give up hope. We can still claim victory! But first, I elect myself as 'Project Manager'. Seeing as no one here has true military experience." he declared, his smile growing widely as he spoke with confidence.
His teammates didn't show as much positivity as Brick though. Trent was shown to be utterly nonchalant, tuning his guitar. Beside him was Dakota, filing her nails with the same amount of energy Trent displayed. Jo sat in between them, observing their actions.
"Hey! How come you're 'Team Manager'?" Jo barked.
Brick's smile faded into an annoyed expression. "If you would listen, you'd know that I said 'Project Manager', not 'Team Manager'." Brick said in air-quotes. "Which means I'll be instructing everyone during the challenge."
"Humph." Jo huffed, rolling her eyes. "Fine."
/
The next scene was a montage of the two teams assembling their hot tubs. Even though the montage exhibited the teams doing the same thing, their actions were completely different from each other. To start it off, Geoff and Scarlett were shown hammering their hot tub. Accompanied with their team logo spinning into view on the top-left corner. While their hammering was clueless and pointless. They had teamwork in doing so. As the clip played, a triumphant tune played in the background.
A quick-pan to the Bass showed Cody and Dakota trying to assemble their own hot tub, which noticeably looked worse than the Gopher's tub. The tune immediately turned boring and slow. As they began to touch it lightly to steady it carefully, it creaked and broke apart quickly. Starling the two.
The next clip was a short and sweet one. Scott held a hammer in his hands, and as Courtney stood in front of him. She noticed that Scott wasn't planning on giving up the tool anytime soon. Courtney put her hand out of Scott to place the hammer in it. Scott sniffed and rolled his eyes. In doing that, Courtney swiped the hammer from the farmer and began to hammer the nail inserted in the tub.
Another quick-pan revealed Amy and Jo tugging at the hammer that they both held onto. After a short period of time, they both let go. Jo stayed upright while Amy fell backwards. The impact caused her to let go of the hammer, Topher easily caught the tool as it flew towards him. He also dodged the wood swinging at him from Katie. Who did so obliviously. Once Katie walked away, Topher struck a pose at the camera.
A small bucket brigade formed by the Gophers played on-screen. Starting from Sammy who bent over to collect water from the lake. Followed by B, Sugar and ending with Scarlett, dumping the water into the hot tub.
The last clip in this montage showed water spurting out of a hole in the Bass's hot tub. A light-skinned hand blocked the hole with gray duct tape. The camera pulled out to reveal Beth beside her team's tub, she wiped her brow tiredly, sighing in relief that the hot tub was odne, despite its lackluster state.
/
A flash moved the shot over to the two teams standing beside Chris with their hot tubs. A shot of the Killer Bass's nervous faces were shown as Chris began to inspect the Gopher's hot tub. The Gopher's look slightly bored as Chris inspected their tub. Chris gave the tub one more look before he turned to the Gophers.
"This, is an awesome hot tub!" Chris exclaimed, his exclamation allowing the Gophers to cheer in excitement. Harold even surfaced from inside said tub, smiling in joy.
"Wicked!" he shouted.
The Bass promptly gasped as Chris started his inspection of their tub. He tapped it lightly in suspicion, only for the hole that Beth had 'patched' to begin spurting at the adult. He wiped his face awkwardly and just stared at the tub. The corner of the tub began to creak and ker awkwardly, eventually breaking apart. Chris looked at his shoes angrily, presumably because his feet became wet.
"Well," the host regained positivity quickly. "I think we have a winner here. The Screaming Gophers!" another burst of cheers from the Gopher team erupted while the Bass sulked in defeat and humiliation.
"Gophers!" Chris continued, "You're safe from elimination and, you get to rock this awesome hot tub for the rest of the summer! Bonus!" he pointed at the camera, the last Gopher cheers were heard once the host focused on the losing team. "Killer Bass, what can I say, it stinks to be you right now. I'll see your sorry butts at the bonfire tonight."
"We actually won!" Sammy celebrated with Courtney. "We get to stay here for another three days!"
"Yeah!" Courtney fist-pumped the air. "That's how we roll!"
A couple hours later showed the two teams digesting diner in the mess hall. The camera focused on the Bass as they looked at each other sheepishly.
"So…" Dakota murmured, "what are we going to do?"
"Decide who to vote off." Topher informed the city girl. "Duh."
"Well any suggestions?" Cody spoke up from beside him.
"I say…" he tapped his chin in thought before coming to a decision. "him." he pointed over to Cameron, who was just sticking a spoonful of gruel in his mouth. He quickly swallowed and cried.
"What? Me?" he yelled. "But why?"
"You were the only one to become a chicken." Beth agreed, pointing at his chicken hat.
"Plus, you could barely move the crates dude." Cody told him, waving his spoon around as he spoke.
"Ay, don't gang up on the guy." Trent defended Cameron. "Not everyone is athletic."
"Then how do you think we should vote off." Topher asked uninterestedly, like Trent's input wasn't important.
"Uh," Trent looked at his teammates confusedly before coming to a conclusion. "Brick?"
Brick pointed at himself, and calmly, put down his spoon. "May I ask why?"
Trent rubbed the back of his neck. "Well, you did say that you were 'Project Manager'. And we lost so..."
"Hey, that's true!" Amy said, pointing an accusatory finger at Brick.
"A cadet isn't always right. I take full responsibility for today's loss." Brick still expressed calmly. "But I promise that the next challenge, I'll try my best to claim victory from The Screaming Gophers."
"Hey, don't sweat it." Jo patted his back, causing Brick to raise his eyebrow. "My vote's for Cameron."
"What?" Cameron almost choked on his gruel this time. "But Trent just revealed a valid reason for Brick to receive votes!"
"You are right. But Brick is clearly stronger than you. No need for keeping you around if you can't even push a crate." Jo explained. "Brawn over brains."
"But I have a lot of brains." Cameron added smugly.
"Cameron's right. We need a balance of both." Beth said.
"Okay then, vote for who you want. Let the chips, fall where they may." Jo began to walk out of the mess hall, leaving the Bass to just decide who their vote was going for silently.
/
The camera transitioned over to nighttime. All 11 Bass sat on the stumps at the bonfire. Everyone either stared at Brick or Cameron while Chris stood in front of the upright oil drum.
"Am I going home?" Cameron asked Trent in utter worry.
"I dunno dude." Trent answered in complete uncertainty. Chris held a plate of ten white fluffy marshmallows in one hand, addressing the team before him in another.
"Killer Bass, at camp marshmallows represent a tasty treat that you enjoy roasting by the fire. At this camp, marshmallows represent life." an odd tune played as Dakota mimed a yawn, causing Sam to chuckle.
"You've all cast your votes and made your decision." Chris continued with a serious look on his face. "There are only 10 marshmallows on this plate. When I call your name, come up, and claim your marshmallow. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow tonight, must immediately return to the Dock of Shame." the dock was briefly shown with a boat at the end of it. Waiting for the eliminated camper.
"To catch the Boat of Losers. That means," he pointed to the Bass. "you're out of the contest. And you can't come back. Ever." he emphasized on that word to make it clear to the campers. "The first marshmallow goes to…"
"Cody." Chris said, the tech geek promptly stood up and went over to Chris, allowing the host to put a marshmallow on the stick he held.
"Sam." the gamer, fist-pumped, walking over to Chris while noticeably staring at Dakota.
"Dakota." the fame monger squealed as she claimed her treat.
"Katie." Chris told her.
"Oh yay!" she cheered, making a gesture with her hands before she stood.
"Topher."
"Oh Chris," Topher said smoothly. "I love the way you've called my name."
"Beth." she grinned widely before going off-screen.
"Trent." the musician smiled before getting up.
"Cool." he said.
"Amy."
"How dare you not call me first!" Amy screamed, stomping their foot indignantly.
"Whatever." Chris rolled his eyes. "Jo."
Jo's blank expression turned dark as she smirked evilly, going up to Chris and eating her marshmallow. The camera zoomed in on Chris solemn face as drum beats intensified the situation.
"Campers," the shot moved to the lone marshmallow, "this is the final marshmallow of the evening." the shots alternated between people. First it was a shot of both Brick and Cameron waiting impatiently for a marshmallow, then Chris just blatantly staring at them. Then a close-up of each camper was shown. Cameron to bite his nails rapidly as Brick remained somewhat worried, but not nearly as much as Cameron.
Repeat the pattern of Brick, Cameron and the marshmallow a couple times and that's almost the whole scene. Chris promptly raises a finger and opens his mouth to speak. Earning even more worried gestures from the males. He begins to toy around with the campers, pointing from side-to-side like a gun. The music comes to a dramatic conclusion, with Chris revealing the last safe camper.
"Brick." Chris held up the marshmallow to Brick to retrieve. A loud sound of relief came from the cadet. But nonetheless, he humbly stood up, giving his ex-teammate a firm handshake.
"Pleasure doing business with you." Brick assertively said. Cameron doesn't even reply, just watching the cadet enjoy his treat.
"Can't say I'm shocked dude." Chris admitted. "You're the weakest one on the team. Not good." he shook his head before trotting over to the eliminated camper. "Dock of Shame is that way bro." Chris motions over to said dock. Cameron stands up and trudges past Chris in shame and defeat. The camera follows Cameron's journey down the dock with a flash, returning to the ten Killer Bass that stood near Chris.
"The rest of you, enjoy your marshmallows." Chris tells them, all just excited that they weren't the first one voted off. "You're all safe, for tonight." he sneaks in a sneaky smirk just to worry them. The viewpoint returns to the dock. Where Chef arrived with the Boat of Losers, ready to pick up a saddened Cameron.
Confessional: Jo
"Look," Jo started with a scowl. "I plan on winning this game. And the faster I get rid of all these weak links on this team, the challenges we win. And if we keep winning, I don't get sent home. But just in case that all backfires, I'll need some people to string me along to victory. G.I. Joke seems like a prime target right now, but only one person isn't enough. Hm…" she tapped her chin thoughtfully.
"The Screaming Gophers rule dudes!" Geoff cheered, raising a juice box as his teammates splashed around in the hot tub with him. His teammates gave their own chants consisting of their team name.
"Go Gophers! Go Gophers!" Topher repeated, making poses in front of the tub. Lightning and Harold followed suit. Harold following Topher's chant, while Lightning's chant merely praised himself, rather than the whole team.
The Bass began to file past that superior team, all giving them drained or annoyed looks due to the amount of energy they had. Once Dakota had passed she noticed the cameraman and addressed him.
"Hey you! Are you recording?" she asked impatiently, pointing at the camera. The cameraman presumably answered behind the camera as the shot mainly focused on her. "Good. Because I don't know if you know this, but after this show, I'll have my own spinoff show!" she explained. "So if you ever see me on the island, only focus on me, because at the end of the day. My beauty will get me famous." she walked off without missing a beat. The camera faded to black without following the fame monger. Ending the two parter episode.
Author's Note
Wow… this was a quick update. Probably one of the quickest ones I've had ever. Not much development happened here. Some more Courtney/Sammy interactions. And new Geoff/Sammy interactions. I've left no clues as to who will be the main villain of the season. I'm sure they'll be revealed either next chapter or in Dodgebrawl. So make your predictions in the comments on who it'll be. Also, make predictions on who'll the couples will be, because I have a few planned, not sure how to directly execute some of them though. I hope you guys like the theme song, it wasn't too hard to make but still fun. Cameron being the first boot was a hopefully believable since he's a bubble boy. Even though that it wasn't explored as much. And if you have a problem with everything kinda being the same, I promise that it'll change soon, it's only like that because it's the first few episodes.
Let me know if my writing has a characterization issue. I really wanna make them perfect.
And with that, I'm signing off.
See y'all next chapter!
