The cameras zoomed in on Julie as the monitor showed Conor, Cody, Ellie and Dana together in the living room.

"We are at the peak of the finals as these four houseguests remain in the game. They have battled through thick and thin this summer and it will all come to an end on Thursday as the Jury decides who shall win the second season of Total Drama Big Brother." Julie explained.

Julie walks across the stage towards the center as the monitor showed the Power of Veto.

"Tonight, the last Power of Veto will be on the line and could be used one last time to save one of the two initial nominees. Whoever is not nominated tonight, they shall cast the sole vote to evict." Julie continued.

Julie then walks to the door of the house as she turns back to the crowd.

"It's been one drama-filled summer, but it will be coming to a screeching halt. Tonight, will Conor finally be evicted after all the bad things he has done or will she slide into the eviction with one more shot at the money? Find out right now on…Total…Drama…" Chris began.

"Big Brother!" Julie finished as the crowd cheered very loud.

Previously on Big Brother: Conor's crusade against Cody continued as he nominated him and Sayde for eviction. Dana and Cody tried striking an alliance for the finale, but he wondered if Ellie would be able to gain safety for herself in this alliance which annoyed Dana. At the Power of Veto competition, Conor won his third Veto which guaranteed him all the power. Cody and Sayde tried to convince him to take Sayde off and put Dana up, but Conor was convinced it was a trap set by Cody. At the live eviction, Ellie and Dana set Sayde up for failure as he was the next houseguest evicted. At the Head of Household competition, Cody won back the power struggle as he and Ellie seemed to be heading for the final three. Tonight, Conor's life in the house hangs in the balance as he fights for the final Veto. Will Conor manage to survive and who will be the next houseguest evicted from Big Brother? Find out right now on Total Drama Big Brother!

Chapter 38- The Road to Finale Night Part 3

Julie came back onscreen as the crowd was very vocal in their cheers.

"Welcome to Big Brother. One episode away from finale night as Cody and Conor fight to pave the way. Tonight, Conor's life in the house hangs in the balance as he is set up as the target for the week. Will he succeed in claiming the Veto or is his time up?" Julie asked as the camera zoomed in on the monitor.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Cody and Ellie came in celebrating and hugging each other.

"We are safe, babe. We just need that Veto and he's gone." Cody stated as he kisses Ellie.

Cody(Head of Household): I have the power this week and it's really great. I can plan ahead on what I want to do and get Conor out of the house. We only need to win the Veto and he'll be the next one out.

Ellie: Ahhhhhh! I'm going to the final three with Cody! I never really thought I would get this far! I really hope me and Cody can make the final two!

Conor came in and looked a bit disappointed.

Conor: So Cody wins and I'm the target for the week. This is just great, because I thought I was gonna make the finale. That final Veto is what I need to beat Cody out and cripple him. There's no way I'm giving up.

Dana came in as she smirked. She had a lot of thoughts in her head.

Dana: I didn't win, but did I really need to? Cody and Ellie will be too focused on Conor and I can slide by with a spot in the final three. It's really easy laying low and getting what you want.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Dana, Ellie and Conor came and sat down at the dining table as Cody came in with his nomination box. He sat it down on the table as he stepped back.

"This is the nomination ceremony. As Head of Household, I must nominate two houseguests for eviction. I will turn the keys to lock in my nominations and their faces will appear on the Memory Wall. The first houseguest I've nominated for eviction is…" Cody began as he to turn the first key.

Conor's face appeared on the Memory Wall as he sighed.

"The second houseguest I've nominated for eviction is…" Cody continued as he turned the second key.

Dana's face appeared on the Memory Wall as she smirked.

"I've obviously nominated you, Conor, and you, Dana, for eviction. You two are the big threats in this house and I have no other choices. Conor, you and me have had our differences and you are the target for me. Dana, I suppose I can take you to the final, but I won't do anything to jeopardize Ellie's safety in this game. This nomination ceremony is adjourned." Cody concluded.

Dana and Conor got up as Ellie sat there waiting for this to boil down.

Ellie: I'm glad to be the one safe from eviction as I haven't been nominated since pre-Jury. I have probably have a good shot at making the final two.

Conor held his head as he sighed and hoped for the best.

Conor(Nominee): The Veto can help me off the block and I really need it the most. This will help me have one last chance to dethrone Cody.

Ellie and Cody hug as Dana just goes into the Nature Room.

Dana(Nominee): I was the only other choice, but I'm a pawn. I know Cody doesn't particularly trust me and there could that scary chance of me going home. Fingers crossed for that Veto.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Ellie was in the kitchen cooking lunch as Conor came in and sat down.

"Are you gonna start mocking me?" Conor asked.

"Why are you so hostile? I'm just cooking." Ellie replied.

"Look, I'm sorry for what I'm doing, but this is the game where we play for half a mil. I can do a lot with that and I want to win." Conor replied.

"You've hurts a lot of people, though." Ellie reminded.

"Well, we can't all be winners. Heather, Alejandro, Scott, Sky, Sugar, Justin, Duncan, Harold, Courtney, they never played nice to win." Conor explained.

"Why would you want to be nasty towards Cody? He's done nothing to you." Ellie wondered.

"He's running the game. He's the big vet who's the most likely to win. You, me and Dana don't stand a chance." Conor stated.

"He may be a veteran, but he's played fair." Ellie explained.

"How can you be so sure? You put so much trust in him." Conor stated.

"I can admit I'm pretty gullible, but this game experience gave me some perspective that not everyone is going to nice and not Everton is going to be my friend. However, Cody is just as much Cody as he was before." Ellie explained.

"I just have trouble trusting him. He tried breaking me and Tep apart." Conor retorted.

"Maybe because Tep made that big move to get Sayde out and caused you to have trust issues to the point where you figured you could only trust yourself." Ellie explained.

"Do you maybe think I've been wrong in my judgement this whole time?" Conor asked.

"Well, it's a game and you're just playing it, but your actions were questionable." Ellie replied.

"Aw man, I didn't realize it got that bad. I just wanted to avoid another Chowa, but I guess I became that Chowa." Conor explained as he looked at his hands.

"It's okay. We all go crazy sometimes, but we learn to catch ourselves." Ellie lectured.

Conor(Nominee): I didn't mean to hurt anyone. I just got trust issues when Tep decided to go after Sayde. Aw man, I can't believe I decided to be this big of a jerk.

Ellie: I forgive him. I just think he was misguided in his thinking and I'm willing to let him off the hook for it. He's still a threat, but I don't believe he should take too much blame.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Cody invites Ellie up to his HOH Room as they are shrouded by a gift basket of candy from his parents and they sit down on the bed.

"This is so great going into the final three with you, babe." Ellie stated.

"I wouldn't get comfortable yet. We need to win the Veto and make sure you don't go up." Cody reminded.

"Are you still set on Conor going?" Ellie asked.

"I wish I could say yes. I just don't think Conor will be hard to deal with in the finale." Cody replied.

"Why the sudden change of heart?" Ellie asked.

"Is revenge really worth it? I mean, we get rid of Conor and look who we take with us. Dana." Cody replied.

"Yeah, she's really sneaky." Ellie added.

"She tried forming a final two alliance with me. I wanted to get you in on it, but she was hesitant to include you." Cody explained.

"What?!" Ellie recoiled in anger.

Cody was taken back by Ellie's sudden outburst as he never expected that.

"That little she-devil! She dares tries to take my boyfriend and expect me to sit by. No way that's happening!" Ellie exclaimed.

Cody(Head of Household): Okay, Gwen, I expect that from, but totally not Ellie. Why am I still sacred?

Ellie calmed down and sat back down to enjoy some Skittles.

"Sorry, I got a little carried away." Ellie apologized.

"It's not a problem. I understand the concern." Cody stated.

"So are we changing our minds on the target?" Ellie asked.

"It just depends on who wins the Veto. If it's me and you, we won't use it. Then, we can decide who be a better fit in the finale with us." Cody replied.

Cody(Head of Household): I really need to think on who would be a better fit in the finale with me and Ellie. Conor's a physical threat, but Dana is a mental threat. They could easily swing by and win that final HOH.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Conor and Cody were in the HOH Room as they would have a one-on-one confrontation.

"So are we cool on everything?" Cody asked.

"Yes…" Conor replied.

"I was never trying to influence anyone's game. I was just in this to win it." Cody stated.

"I understand…" Conor realized.

"However, I'm not one to hold a grudge. I don't want to take it out on you." Cody explained.

"So I'm not your target anymore?" Conor asked.

"It's possible. 50-50. Depends on the Veto first of all." Cody replied.

Conor(Nominee): Cody tells me it depends on the Veto and that just motivates me to win this last Veto saving myself and possibly get rid of Dana.

"I want to have a good chance of winning this game. I promise no more funny business. I'll be Starter Pack til the final three." Conor promised.

Cody(Head of Household): I can only take so many promises, but what of those are actually genuine? I can't trust Conor too much unless this results in Ellie getting evicted. It's something I need proof of.

"So can we be cool?" Conor asked.

"Just depends on what happens after the Veto." Cody replied.

Conor sighed, but nodded reluctantly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

The four houseguests come out into the backyard with four makeshift karate opponents. There was a button on the right palm, left arm and right knee. Conor was definitely excited as he looked around.

Conor(Nominee): I think this Veto was calling my name. We have a martial arts competition finally!

Cody grabbed a card and started to read.

"Welcome to the B.B. Dojo. Here is where we will puts your fighting and smart skills to the test. In this competition, you will be given an event and you must display the correct day that it happened on. You must push the buttons on your opponent to build up to your day. The palm is 1, the arm is 5 and the knee is 10. If you display the wrong number, you'll start over at zero and if you're the last houseguest to display your number, you will be eliminated. The last houseguest standing will win the Golden Power of Veto. Let's play 'Martial Smarts!" Cody announced.

Dana(Nominee): This Veto needs to be mine so I can advance to the finale. I feel like Conor has been doing some sucking up and the three of them will plan for my eviction on Thursday.

Cody(Head of Household): I only trust me and Ellie to win this Veto. This will leave the entirety of the power with us and keeps Ellie off the block.

"Question #1: What day did the fight between Conor, Chasi and Chowa happen?" Cody asked.

The four houseguests started going at it with their opponents punching the buttons. Ellie, Conor and Dana got the correct number '34.'

"The correct answer was Day 34. I was the last houseguest remaining so I've been eliminated." Cody announced.

Cody(Head of Household): I lost a life in this, but I trust Ellie to win this for us so she doesn't have to go on the block.

"Question #2: What day did Jose's eviction happen on?" Cody asked.

The three remaining houseguests started punching and kicking the buttons. Ellie and Dana were able to get the right number which was '54.'

"The correct answer is Day 54. Conor, you were the last houseguest remaining. You've been eliminated." Cody announced.

Conor(Nominee): I tried my best in this, but math wasn't strong suit. I can only hope that Ellie wins this so I don't have to go home this week.

"Final question: What day did Kimberly re-enter the house in the Jury/Head of Household Competition?" Cody asked.

Ellie managed to get the right number which was '64'.

"The correct answer is Day 64. Congratulations, Ellie, you have won the final Power of Veto for the summer!" Cody announced.

Ellie jumped for joy at gaining her second Veto. Cody put it around her neck and kissed her.

Ellie(Veto Holder): Yes! Yes! Yes! I'm heading into the final three! With Cody! OMG! This is amazing!

Dana(Nominee): Ugh! The little twerp beat me and she has full control over who goes home. This really sucks. I guess I'm joining you soon Arnold.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Julie appeared back on screen with Ellie sitting near Cody with the Power of Veto around her neck.

"Up next: Ellie has earned the right to cast the sole vote to evict. Who will she choose to keep in the house and who will be the next houseguest to join the Jury? Stay with us." Julie announced as the crowd was cheering very loudly.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Big Brother returned as the crowd cheered very loudly as the camera zoomed in on Julie.

"Welcome back. Let's head to the living room for the live vote and eviction." Julie announced.

Julie appeared on the TV grabbing the final four's attention.

"Houseguests, this is it. The live eviction is here. Conor, Dana, in just a few moments, Ellie will cast the sole vote to evict. One of you has spent your last day in the Big Brother House. You may both now have one final chance to convince Ellie with one brief statement. Dana, you may go first." Julie stated.

Dana got up and she stared ahead.

"I came into the game late and didn't think I would make it this far, but I've played a very fair game. I've gotten out who I saw as threats and hindrances and that does mean I have the highest chance of going home, but I'm not good at any competitions so we are going to take it for what it is. Ellie, you probably have the best chance of beating me in the final two, but it's up to you." Dana explained as she sat down.

Conor got up and sighed.

"I really hope you all can forgive me for my actions. I have been the biggest jerk and take this with any kind of sympathy you can. I played the best game I could and if given one more chance, it would be game on and fairness. Ellie, you are my dear friend and do what you think would be best for you and Cody. I won't take it hard." Conor explained as he sat back down.

"Ellie, you've heard both sides. Please stand at the front of the living room and cast your vote to evict." Julie requested.

Ellie nodded and kissed Cody before heading to the front facing Dana and Conor.

"Well, I do like both of you to some extent, but trust plays a big factor with me and you both have displayed untrustworthy characters. I have to think what would be best for me and Cody in the finale. With that being said, I have decided to vote out this person based on what I've seen over the course of the season. Dana, you came in late which made you a big threat in my opinion and you haven't been the most trustworthy person in this game thus far. You could possibly manipulate the Jury in giving you votes and that won't sit well. I choose to evict you." Ellie explained.

"It's official. Dana, you've been evicted from the Big Brother House." Julie stated.

Dana got up hugging Conor, Cody and then Ellie as she went to the lobby to grab her bag. She saluted the final three before heading out the door. The crowd cheered massively for Dana as she headed over to Chris and Julie hugging them both. Conor, Ellie and Cody gathered around the Memory Wall watching Dana's picture go black and white.

"So close for you. How are you feeling?" Julie asked.

"Pissed, Julie. A little pissed." Dana replied as she smiled.

"Man, that must burn to get so close to the half mil." Chris teased.

"Watch it, McClean." Dana warned.

"Do you think that Ellie made the right decision keeping Conor?" Julie asked.

"I guess we'll find out if she survives that finale." Dana replied.

"Well, Dana, in the event you were the one evicted, your housemates taped some goodbye messages for you. Let's listen." Julie stated as the three turned towards the monitor.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

Cody: It was better to send you home as you could manipulate the Jury to your liking. Arnold is in there and you could have the votes to win if enough people were convinced.

Ellie: This is merely, because you were responsible for Jose and Tep going out which means you are a force to be reckoned with. Conor is a lot more stable and I don't think he'll be too much of a problem.

Conor: Whew! I have made it at last to the finale and you are gone. This is the last chance for me so I hope there is no hard feelings between us. Who am I kidding? I'm glad you're gone.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX

"Thank you for playing, Dana. It's finale time as the final three have been determined. Find out Sunday 8/7c for the live one-hour season finale of Total Drama Big Brother. Will Conor, Cody or Ellie rise to the top. It's up to the eight jurors and the soon to be ninth juror. For right now, let's eavesdrop on the houseguests. From outside the Big Brother House, I'm Julie Chen saying goodnight." Julie announced.

The crowd cheered as Dana was escorted off the stage to a waiting limo. Conor, Cody and Ellie conversed in the living room as the final three was set.
