After nine days since my last update, the fifth chapter has arrived. Took me the longest to work on out of all the chapters so far, and the next couple will probably take even longer as I'll need to focus more on my life outside of fanfiction for much of September 2018. Now I'll respond to more reviews.
ShadowJcreed: There will be both canon and non-canon eliminations following our first two challenges, but I obviously can't go into much detail without giving away spoilers. Nice to know you also liked the chapter. Courtney isn't sure yet how to approach Mike about Mal without setting herself up for elimination like Alejandro did in canon. I have something for Duncan coming up this chapter, though not exactly a complaint on his hero team placement (which he knows is futile), so tell me what you think of it. He definitely wants to be a bad boy here just like he did in canon.
GlitchWarrior: Lightning sha-screwed up and there was no other logical choice given his actions. Mal is indeed quite dangerous, but hasn't done much just yet. Our CIT needs to really think before giving him any sign she knows of his antics. Of course Lindsay won't die in exile; I can't kill off characters like that, especially when the busty blonde is one of my favorites from the show! Glad you're also eager to read more, because it's now here!
Phenomenal Ultra Instinct: Nope, our time-traveler couldn't stop Lightning from his idiotic choices, and tie score indeed.
That British Guy: Sorry if you don't like Scottney (Scott x Courtney), but I've already decided in advance on much of what I'll do with them here.
CMR Rosa: Glad you like the CIT's maturity and reconciliation with Gwen here. If I'm being honest, she should've been on the Vultures right from the start in canon given her past evil actions (especially by serving as the TDA antagonist), and definitely deserved that team switch when showing such nature in canon. The ironic part is really how she sets out to be good now and unintentionally prevents her placement on the Hamsters when trying to get revenge on Al after unmasking him. While still wanting to improve herself, Courtney doesn't now mind so much being on the Vultures, especially with Gwen and Scott as teammates. I wouldn't say she made peace with EVERYBODY she had issues with; you've misinterpreted my words since the only ones I said she did so with are Harold and Justin prior to Gwen. The CIT can definitely prove more of her worth here, as can Lindsay (and I agree that the blonde deserved better than she got in TDAS). Not much will happen with Mal just yet.
That1guyeveryonehates: Lightning amuses me, but there wasn't much I could do with him here. I hate Sierra myself and it's nice to know you like her getting the first ax (which I feel should've been done in canon as she's my least favorite contestant of the season). Lindsay will have a mixture of both smart and air-headed moments here as she did in previous seasons (though largely the latter prior to All-Stars). Our CIT is still thinking of what to do with Mal, and you'll have to see about Scott. Regarding "meat" for challenges and dialogue, I tried to include some more of that here and am not sure how much it paid off, but please do let me know how this reads compared to past chapters. It's admittedly challenging to write as though people haven't seen the season when a contestant is re-living it plus I gave a notice in Chapter 1 urging people to watch that before they read due to spoilers. I'll let you be the judge of transitions, though would like specific examples of where to improve and how to do so if you feel they can be better.
Let's get going with the story.
Waking up in that cabin bed was awful. Having Gwen in the same bunk as me thankfully made things more pleasant. Heather on the other hand is someone I could easily do without (especially after she and Alejandro kept me up many nights with their noises). Jo overall isn't too bad so far when she doesn't go on too much about the mutual hatred between her and Lightning or how he needed to go out ASAP. That shouldn't be so bad now since the dumbass was voted off last night when his inflated ego got in the way of his counting. Her athleticism reminds me of Eva from season 1, but Eva was an angrier person and not as cunning or strategic.
Today's challenge is the one with leeches. It's where I used Sam as a human shield to protect myself from Jo blasting me with those creatures. This got me placed on the Villainous Vultures and Duncan on the Heroic Hamsters when he used his own body to protect Gwen from a leech. Since we're already on these teams without leech-related activity unlike my initial run-through, I'll have to prepare for further changes. Chris probably gets too much pleasure from torturing my ex like this to have us switch teams now and I'm personally content being on the same team as Gwen and Scott anyway. He also already told us that complaining about team arrangements won't change his mind.
Chef gives us a lousy excuse for breakfast (more slop) before the challenge because we lost yesterday. I may as well eat what I can before the challenge. The other girls also do so. We really need to win again to get back into the hotel for something more edible. Scott doesn't seem to mind such meal service so much (if his comments from last night and enjoying that gruel are any indication), but I know for sure that Alejandro wants to be fed better than this. The Hamsters must be in delight just like before, and maybe they'll save some food for Lindsay like they did with Sam. Wonder how she fared in exile.
Soon afterwards, McLean announces through a speakerphone "Attention campers; forest recon in 5, over" and everybody walks to the woods to meet him once they finish eating.
This time Heather and Jo don't try to lure Gwen onto their sides by pretending to agree with her stance on teamwork. Alejandro also doesn't try to charm her into an alliance with him either. I guess me stopping that spat from last night made quite a difference. It overall is a pretty silent walk aside from footsteps. Duncan at some point glances back to wave towards Gwen, who waves back with a somewhat uncomfortable look on her face. I once again don't display emotion and try to show him as little acknowledgement as possible. Once we find Chris, he is seen wearing an army helmet.
"At ease, soldiers" he greets us with a salute. "Let's all welcome back exiled hamster Lindsay."
Chef then drives a cart towards us with the blonde girl sitting next to him. Not a scratch on her!
"Hey Lindsay, how was exile?" asks Zoey.
"Not too bad. I got to talk to my yeti friend again, and he even shared some of his food with me!" Lindsay replies with a smile, sounding very excited about the food. "Turns out he had lots of berries and fish stored in a cave. He's also overall harmless unless agitated, especially by others putting clothing on him or making fun of his appearance."
This prompts nervous chuckles from those who competed last season, especially Sam and Scott as they remembered trying to dress it for a fashion show. You can easily see the guilt on their faces. I bet Brick McArthur from season 4 would feel particularly bad about that ordeal if competing now when he was the one who got the clothing on that yeti. Not his fault, though, as nobody had any idea how the yeti would feel. The blonde then clutches her growling stomach and continues "I just feel really hungry now since Chef took me back before I could eat anything."
"Luckily we smuggled you breakfast in case!" Mike says as he, Zoey, Cameron, and Sam take eggs, toast, and bacon from earlier that morning out of their pockets to offer her.
Lindsay bites into the toast and tells them "Thank you so much!" with her mouth full before she swallows that and quickly gobbles the bacon and eggs.
"Huh, no wonder your food vanished from your plates so soon." an emptyhanded Duncan observes, evidently not realizing until now that they had planned to save food for the exile volunteer, which makes them raise their eyebrows at him.
"Welcome to today's experiment with your pain thresholds." our host then interjects while rubbing his hands together and chuckling evilly, which gives us all worried looks. "Get ready for an ingenious twist on the war movie challenge from season two."
"There are two weapon caches in the heart of this forest." he informs us while showing the woods on a TV screen. "The big one is filled with state-of-the-art paintball weaponry and the little one has a bunch of cruddy old paintball slingshots."
The screen shows a paintball gun above the big box and a slingshot nearby the little box as they are announced. It then turns off before he continues. "Whoever gets there first gets their pick and then you've gotta pick off the competition. You get one point for each opponent you splatter. First team to six points wins, and one of the losers will get a dishonorable discharge tonight, flush-o-shame styles."
"Paintball again? Oh original, what a twist." my ex sarcastically remarks, and he has a point when we already had a paintball deer hunting challenge in the first season.
McLean replies with "Oh yeah, that; one of the conditions of my parole is that I can't use or be around hard projectiles like paintballs, so instead you'll be using leeches!", grossing me and everyone else out as Chef holds a leech for all the contestants to see.
Did I mention how Chris was arrested after season 4 and spent a year in jail? He apparently got into legal troubles for Camp Wawanakwa being an environmental hazard with all the radioactive substance. Serves him right! The island got scrubbed clean of radioactivity before Chef paid his bail and the All-Stars season started up.
"As winners of yesterday's challenge, the heroes get a full one-minute head start!" our host continues, prompting cheers from the Hamsters and groans from us Vultures.
"Ready, set" McLean adds before Chef fires a leech gun to kick off the head start, and Scott yelps in pain after the fired leech attaches itself to him.
What a dick move that was! I pull the leech off him and toss it to the side. That thing is so disgusting, and I hate touching it at all, but he didn't need to go through such agony.
As the Hamsters take off with a nearby timer counting down the minute before we can go, Heather complains "Know who could outrace the Hamsters even with a head start? Lightning. Way to ruin everything, Jo!"
Oh great, you just HAD to mention his name now.
"We ALL voted him off, remember?" Jo retorts with some irritation.
Alejandro smiles while interjecting with "We may not need to worry" and points towards a tired Sam and Lindsay struggling to catch up to their teammates, though the gamer isn't so drained of energy this time when he didn't spend the night in exile.
"That's true, and we'll be able to start soon anyway" I comment, noting that the timer has almost expired.
"Villains, you're up in 3, 2, 1! " Chris tells us as Chef fires another leech once the timer expires, again landing on Scott.
"Hey!" the ginger yells while McLean simply chuckles at his pain and gives Hatchet a high-five.
I pull this leech off as well and the team all starts running. Last time when competing as one of the Hamsters, I loved getting a head start, though was blindsided when the Vultures somehow got to the boxes first. Looks like I'm about to experience how that worked out (its footage was never shown on screen). We run some more before Gwen halts for a moment.
"OK, they're heading left." she tells us. "If we take another path, maybe we can cut them off."
"Great idea!" Heather states and gives a thumbs-up, which somehow seems sarcastic, but I don't think too much of it since we need to focus on reaching those boxes first.
The team then heads straight with Al exclaiming "Go Vultures!" and Jo adding "Yes we can!" as we run through the forest. I can then see the boxes up ahead! Gwen, while I obviously would've resented such knowledge when we competed on opposite teams, I must thank you now for this idea that got us ahead. Our team pulls up in front of the big box before the Hamsters can reach it.
"Whoa, where'd they come from?" a confused and surprised Mike asks.
Heather simply blows a raspberry as they turn around and run towards the small box instead. Us Vultures cheer for reaching the big box first. Jo then ruins our moment by adding "Who needs Lightning, am I right people, eh?", which makes us all roll our eyes over how fixated she is on outranking him.
Al opens our box to unveil big leech guns and a cannon. Wanting to use the latter, Jo, Scott, and Heather simultaneously proclaim, "I'll take the cannon!" and then "No; I'LL take the cannon!" before groaning in frustration once they hear one another try to call dibs on it.
"Do any of you even know how to properly aim it?" I ask them all.
"Yes; I'll show you now." Scott affirms, probably trying to impress me, and ends up hitting an intern as well as a microphone when he fires a leech cannonball from.
The ginger exclaims "See? I totally nailed the guy!" as the microphone falls, making a painful sound as it hits the ground.
We then holster our guns over our shoulders and start moving the cannon, or at least try to. That thing is fucking heavy! After a while of struggling to push, Gwen tells us "We're easy targets like this; maybe we should ditch the cannon."
"No way! I haven't even had a turn to fire it yet." Jo objects while she pats the cannon with one hand and then starts rubbing it with the other while leaning her cheek against the thing, asking it "Isn't that right, sweetheart?" as if the device were alive.
The goth gives her a weirded out look before replying with "OK, then we should split up."
"Agreed!" Alejandro adds, and before anybody can say anything else, I spot Zoey in the distance and announce, "Fire at will!" as I shoot leeches towards her.
The girl dodges my shots, grabs one of the leeches I fire, and places it in her own slingshot to use against us. What does Pigtails then do? Shoot it straight at Al's face!
"Ah! I'm hit!" he wails as Zoey semi-apologizes with "Sorry, but not totally" and then runs off as we fire more leeches at her, missing each time.
She really is agile! Her athletic abilities might not be the on same level as Lightning, Eva, or Jo, but still are quite impressive, and made me see her as a threat not long after we first began competing together. I remember even hoping to vote her off soon back when initially living through this challenge. Jo then walks back to the cannon to fire at Zoey. I hear a cannon shot, and then lots of sucking. It hit me!
"Thanks a lot, Jo!" I sarcastically spat at her and try to get the creatures off me.
Chris then chuckles at my pain and announces through the speakerphone "That's two points for the heroes, and ZILCH for the villains!"
"Why two if Zoey only hit Alejandro?" I ask and get "Friendly fire counts" in response, which makes us all glare at Jo.
Damn, I forgot about that part when the athlete hit Scott with her cannon ball last time around. Jo then tries to defend herself with "What? CIT got in the way!"
No, you just need to not be so trigger-happy. You have my vote tonight if we lose.
Heather snaps "You can take your excuses and stick them in your-" before getting cut off mid-sentence by one of Mike's leeches hitting her, which makes her yelp in agony.
Mr. Multiple Personalities waves at us before we fire at him and he runs off unscathed before Heather groans "Ugh, In my hair! What is wrong with you?" while trying to pull the thing out only for our host to also laugh at her and tell us "Make that 3-0".
How can we already be losing by that much!? That must change.
"Come on" Gwen urges us, and I follow along with Scott even though I've already been hit as Jo goes off to find Zoey.
"Avenge me!" Heather calls out from a distance.
Don't flatter yourself; only Al would be willing to do that. Nobody seems to be in sight so far. That doesn't last for long. I hear Lindsay wondering aloud "How do you fire a slingshot again?", giving me enough time to turn around and target her.
The blonde then screams in terror and runs away after getting hit not by my leech, but her own! Lindsay accidentally misfired it towards her own face while trying to aim at me. I see her peel it off and toss the thing aside while running and screaming. Looks like she had another dim-witted moment.
"The villains lock into a point, but the heroes still lead by 3!" McLean informs us.
I can then see Cameron in the distance, trying to make some calculation on how to aim his shot. He takes too long for his own good as I take full advantage of the chance to shoot him.
"The villains score again, but the heroes still lead 3 points to 2." our host announces.
We've finally started to catch up! Unfortunately, Mike then shows up and pelts Gwen with a leech, who groans as it attaches to her.
"Sorry, couldn't resist taking a shot." Multiple Mike says before Scott hits him back in retaliation.
Chris then tells us "The heroes still lead with 4-3."
"Not for long." the ginger snickers, firing at Sam in the distance who also shoots his slingshot back at him.
Our gamer gets hit with several leeches and collapses while Scott remains unscathed. Maybe we can win at this rate?
"Tie score for the first time today; 4 all!" McLean states as if we couldn't already count.
Soon afterwards, a shot comes out from the distance. It then hits Scott. I turn to see it came from a smiling Duncan and pelt him in the face with a bunch of leeches. That grin on his face quickly turns into a frown. Doing that to him was very satisfying.
"The tie is now at 5 for each team! It ain't over yet. Who can win it now?" asks the host.
Good question, to be honest. We only have Jo unscathed while Zoey is the last remaining Hamster to not get hit. Are they in that cave now? I make my way over out of sheer curiosity. Right as I'm about to reach the cave entrance, some shots can faintly be heard from a distance. Turning to the side, I see Jo firing at Zoey in some far away field and then running out of ammo. My gun also unfortunately is out of leeches when I try to shoot it at her. This gives our pigtailed redhead the opportunity to fire and hit her, giving the Hamsters their second victory, and Jo grunts while getting hit as I vaguely hear Zoey telling her "Not sorry!"
"This just in: with a final score of 6 points to 5, the heroes win!" Chris tells us, with Zoey triumphantly raising her fist in the air and Jo slouching in defeat.
I can faintly hear Sam in some other direction groaning and saying "Yay, we won!" without much energy before collapsing again, still feeling drained from those leeches on him.
Losing again of course sucks badly. Jo's friendly fire was already enough reason for me to vote her off, and I now feel even more inclined to do so when she also just lost the challenge for us. I won't miss her in the slightest. Thankfully, some interns help us get the remaining leeches off and treat the areas where those creatures got attached.
Once we have healed enough, the interns let us go back to the main campsite. I then overhear Duncan talking to Gwen and Zoey on my way back. Is it about Mike/Mal? Curiosity gets the better of me, and I peer through a bush to listen in on the matter.
"I know this probably sounds crazy, but you need to watch out for Mike." he warns the girls and confirms my suspicions. "We were once in juvie together. He practically ran the place, but back then was known as Mal, and he is BAD NEWS. Totally dangerous to those around him. I somehow couldn't put my finger on exactly where we had previously known each other until today and would hate for Mal to hurt either of you."
"Don't be ridiculous; Mike is one of the kindest guys to ever compete on this show." Gwen scoffs.
"You know how he has multiple personalities? Well, I hope I'm wrong on this, but one theory I have is that maybe Mike is an alternate personality and Mal is the real deal." Duncan replies.
This unsurprisingly worries Zoey, who gasps in response before insisting "It can't be; I would've known by now if Mike wasn't the main thing!" and inquires "Do you think getting hit in the head somehow brought Mal out when he couldn't access his other personalities?"
It's tempting to burst into the conversation to affirm both her guess on Mal and how Mike is the real thing, but I can't say that without giving away my time travel plus my ex could still have something to say that I didn't already know. Better to just listen for now. Perhaps Duncan heard Mal whistle Edvard Grieg's "In the Hall of the Mountain King" at some point today and recognized him earlier this time around having now been on the same team from the start.
"Not sure, but I can't think of a good way to confront the guy, especially when I steered clear of Mal's path in juvie for my own sake." the delinquent says. "All I can say for now is watch for any unusual activity from him, especially when malicious, and I don't just mean from the other alters."
Duncan seems to have finished, so I guess I can say something without raising eyebrows. "I couldn't help but overhear your conversation, and it sounds quite wild. What gave you the idea that Mal was around?" I ask, genuinely wanting to know how he thought of this so soon in the game.
"There was a distinct tune he whistled" he confirmed my suspicions and then tried to replicate the "In the Hall of the Mountain King" whistling. "His whistle was something like that and I heard it earlier after today's challenge ended. While I know things ended badly between us, I don't want you harmed either. In the meantime, we can't let Mal know that anyone is onto him now, or it's guaranteed to lead to trouble."
Of course, I already knew that and how he wasn't entirely heartless. Duncan's not the type of person that would want innocent people in such danger. I will give him that even though he still is an asshole. The guy also had a point about not letting him know of suspicions as Mal orchestrated Alejandro's elimination after he tried to directly confront him about his actions during my initial run-through, though I was already quite willing to vote off Al anyway when asked to. "If nothing else, I appreciate the sentiment, though now have to get going for the elimination ceremony." I thank Duncan and walk away, quietly snickering when I subsequently overhear him getting frustrated over Zoey calling his warnings "heroic" if they turn out to be true.
Gwen later catches up to me and says "Courtney, I don't know whether you believe any of what Duncan was just saying, but you should know either way that I dumped him earlier after today's challenge ended." as we walk towards our cabin. "As ironic as it sounds, he seemed oddly eager to know whether you paid him any attention or mentioned him in our conversations. The guy did this after not only the most recent challenge once alone, but also following the finishes of first two, and I got fed up after he did that today. You probably didn't hear about our breakup as it happened since the interns treated you in a separate area than us."
I saw their split coming, but it happened sooner than expected. Last time around this took place after the fifth challenge. Looks like my earlier placement on the Vultures and his earlier placement on the Hamsters prompted not only that but a chance to reconcile with her sooner (which I was going to do regardless at first opportunity) plus the delinquent's realizations of Mal here as opposed to after the sixth challenge. Wonder what else will happen sooner as a result.
"That IS ironic, and you made a good call since he honestly never deserved either of us in the first place." I reply.
"Thanks. Things with him were also fading anyway as I felt fireworks when we first got together, but it just wasn't the same after a while. His focus on getting your attention while with me, even if not exactly making any advances, just made me lose interest faster. It's time I focused more on my friendships than dating." she states.
Later in the night, Chris calls everyone over for the elimination ceremony. Us Vultures prepare to vote one of our own off again as the Hamsters relax while watching the show.
"Welcome back, Villainous Vultures. Second elimination in a row." McLean greets us and chuckles a bit before continuing. "Way to lose! Now, get ready to cut someone loose. It's voting time!"
Behind us, I see Lindsay and Zoey trying to console a saddened Sam, asking why he feels that way.
"Someone trashed Sam's Game Guy earlier today" Cameron informs them, and both gasp "What!?" in shock as the gamer shows his destroyed console.
"He needs to focus more on the real-life game anyway." Duncan unsympathetically comments, and quickly adds "I wasn't the one who wrecked that, though, as badass as that would be." when his teammates glare at him with suspicion, and Mike reprimands him with "Have more heart!"
Wait, TODAY and not last night? I also notice scratches that look like they came from a knife on the console this time. Mal of course was the one who wrecked that last time. When re-watching this episode, I saw Mike state in the confessional that he only thought it was a dream that the console got destroyed. If only the guy didn't have to suffer such agony Mal brought upon him.
It's hard to say whether Mal or Duncan knifed the system and ripped it apart now, when Duncan is known to carry a knife with him and Mal could've easily taken that or some other knife to destroy Sam's game system. Interestingly, Mike now looks angry instead of some combination of nervous and guilty. Maybe his inner demon didn't do it this time and Duncan is lying after all unless this is some new cover-up from Mal. One thing that makes sense either way is that Sam would protectively guard his console while sleeping and it would be much harder to wreck the thing at night without him noticing when he was in the hotel with it as opposed to being exiled in Boney Island, so daytime would be an easier opportunity to do that undetected.
Anyway, time to vote. I promptly grab a portrait of Jo and draw an X over her face before signing my name on the back of the picture once my turn comes up. Goodbye and good riddance! Our host then informs us "The votes are in, but before I announce our loser de jour, I need a Hamster to volunteer for exile."
"Me; I need less time around the goody-goody heroness." Duncan says while raising his hand and gets a "Suit yourself" response from Chef, who takes him away.
"Alrighty then; onwards and flush-wards. The following villains are safe: Gwen, Alejandro, Courtney, and Scott." Chris announces and gives marshmallows to each player as he calls their name.
Another survival! Heather and Jo are now in the bottom two, which is fine with me. Both are quite expendable.
"Heather and Jo, you're on the edge" our host continues as both girls look worried. "Heather for being a pain-in-the-keister and Jo for being a pain-in-the-keister who also took out her own teammate in today's challenge."
"She should've ducked!" Jo gestures towards me and tries to defend herself.
"You were just too trigger-happy with that cannon and you know it!" I snap while turning towards her.
"And tonight's flushee is…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Jo!"
"What!? Are you all nuts!?" an exasperated Jo questions while Heather gets the last marshmallow.
"No; friendly fire during the game is just inexcusable." I angrily retort and grab a nearby bucket full of leeches to dump over her head as revenge, making the athlete scream in agony as I smugly smile.
"Pure evil payback, Courtney; I love it!" McLean remarks.
Oh right; people still see me as evil to at least some extent. I need to take better control of my impulses. Chris and all us Vultures then walk down to the giant toilet and Jo is placed inside. He asks her "Any final words?"
Jo simply tells him "Just flush it already!" with a scowl on her face, and our host complies.
She can be heard gurgling in the water while being flushed as Chris signs off the episode with "I will not miss her. Tune in next time for more sweet, sweet, mayhem right here on Total. Drama. All-Stars!"
I certainly won't miss Jo either, McLean. She simply had to go after today's events. It's also nice not to be splashed by toilet water tonight. There's no doubt Heather and Scott also share these sentiments. When back on the main camp ground, he stops me before I can go into the girls' cabin.
"I don't blame you for being mad at Jo and would've felt the same way if that was me." He says. "She fully deserved to get that bucket dumped on her head AND voted off tonight. Sorry you had to get cannon-balled earlier."
If only you knew how things went in the original timeline, Scott. You're also obviously saying that in part because you have the hots for me, which I don't mind in the slightest. I smile and respond with "Thanks for that, and it really was satisfying to dump that bucket as revenge."
"Think we can win for a change tomorrow?" he then asks.
"I hope so, and good luck." I reply and give him a hug that lasts longer than the one from last night as he tells me "You too".
The two of us then walk into our respective cabins where Chef has already set up plates with slimy-looking goop. They remind me of the leeches! Probably something he chose to fit with the challenge's theme. I take a bite of whatever this is supposed to be, and it's even worse than the slop from last night (which is saying quite a lot). Having no other choice aside from starvation, I reluctantly eat it along with Gwen and Heather, who are equally disgusted by the dish. We also hear Alejandro loudly gagging from the boys' cabin, undoubtedly from our so-called meal. I don't know whether to be shocked if Scott somehow enjoys this too. Anyway, I brush my teeth twice tonight just to get that disgusting taste out, and then go to bed once it gets late. We really need to win the next challenge for the sake of my stomach!
Three challenges down. Be sure to stay tuned for whether the Villains can win another round!
Reason for elimination: Courtney didn't properly take into account Jo's eagerness for the cannon (largely since she was originally on the Hamsters and hiding out in a cave) and couldn't stop her from misfiring it, plus neither of them could pelt Zoey before running out of ammo and friendly fire is asking for trouble. The team then collectively felt she needed out.
Elimination Order:
Sierra (14th place), Lightning (13th place), Jo (12th place)
Remaining Players:
Heroic Hamsters: Cameron, Duncan, Lindsay, Mike, Sam, Zoey
Villainous Vultures: Alejandro, Courtney, Gwen, Heather, Scott
