Welcome back people! If you were as disappointed as I was with that last season, you'll be glad that I'm here to put those characters back to some good use. If you liked Pahkitew Island, you'll still be happy about this chapter because it pays homage to a location in the Total Drama world that, in my opinion, wasn't used to its potential. But before we get to that, let's respond to some comments:
Zxrian: Thanks! I'm glad you're satisfied with my elimination table thus far, but given your PM, I'm afraid you won't be happy with the next couple of eliminations. I came up with the elimination order long before I even started writing, so don't be mad…
Corbinace: Yes, Shawn needs some help.
Gonzo22: Ezekiel X Ella is something I'm working on. Glad you like!
Digimedias: Topher is too self-absorbed and cocky to learn from others' mistakes. He will pay. It's Chris, after all!
Seems that there were some mixed feelings about Shawn leaving. Cool. Anyways, it seems you guys have been interested in Samey X Dave and Ezekiel X Ella. Again, cool. I'll try to give them some more moments. I'll have a poll coming up about those couples sometime. Results of my previous poll: people really like Samey. Sky, Trent, Ezekiel and Ella were tied at the next spot. Enjoy the next chapter. I'm sorry if half of you want to murder me after this elimination…
Oh, and just so I don't get questions about it, 1 meter is a little longer than 1 yard. You'll see why that matters in a few moments.
Now for the fun stuff!
Last time on Total Drama:
The teams battled it out in a paintball tournament. Dave "accidentally" tripped Samey, and the two shared a moment and Ella hit it off with a home-schooled-kid-turned-feral-freakshow-turned-home-schooled-kid.
Overall, the Geeks and Freaks pulled off a pitiful performance, the highlight of which being Ezekiel's elimination at the hands of crazy Shawn. Long story short, Shawn came up short and didn't last long.
Who will be tonight's big looser? How much can we laugh at them before they go home? Find out right here on Total! Drama! HIGH SEAS!
Cue that theme song, Beardo!
Chapter 3: In it to Twin it
CARGO HOLD
Those sour cream and onion potato chips were looking pretty good to Amy. She hadn't seen Topher all day. She didn't even know if the fan boy was still on the ship.
"Boo!" Topher snuck up behind her.
"Topher, what the…"
"What's up, Amy?"
"Scrounging for food! How are you not hungry?"
"There are, like, four crates full of food in here!" Topher replied. "You didn't know that?"
"No! Why didn't you tell me?"
"Thought you knew. Sorry."
Topher led Amy to the crates of food and the evil twin ate like she'd never eaten before.
"Topher, what time is it?"
"3 o'clock, why?"
"Perfect!"
"Ok, why?"
"Because, you simpleton," Amy scolded, "we can now run around the ship! I know which room Chris and Chef write the challenges in! How would you like to write your own challenge, Topher?"
"Oh my God! It's always been my dream!"
"Good! Then let's go!"
The two snuck into the writing room. Amy jiggled the handle.
"Ugh! It's locked!" She quietly screamed.
"I think I've got this! You have a hairpin, right?"
Amy removed a bobby pin from her hair. "Yeah, why?"
Topher took the pin from her hand and stuck it in the keyhole. He wiggled it around a little bit and the door unlocked.
"Yes!" they both cheered in unison.
The writing room was quite bland. It was just two desks with various sheets of paper scattered on each.
"What's that?" Topher said, pointing to a pile of index cards. On one side of each card was the name of a remaining contestant. On the other side were two bullet points.
Amy took a card in her hand. On one side of the card was DAKOTA written in all capital letters. On the other side were two options: Car horn and Dentist's drill.
"I—I don't understand," Amy said, "What's this supposed to mean?"
"I don't know."
She shuffled through the cards and found one with SAMEY written on one side. She flipped the card. On the back there were two options. One read "Hand in box of scorpions" the other read, "box of spiders"
"Hmm…" Amy thought, "I'm sure that I can make this much, much worse."
She removed a pencil from the jar on the desk and erased the word "scorpions."
"What should I write?"
"Hmm…" Topher pondered, "Got it! Have a box of buzz saws!"
"Yes!" Amy cheered! "What about the other option?"
"I don't know…anything she's allergic to or afraid of?"
"Yeah! She's terrified of snakes!"
"How about a box of rattlesnakes then! It's painful and scary!"
"You are pure evil."
"I try!" Topher thumped his chest.
DINING HALL
"Hey, Dave, What's up? Can I sit with you?" Samey asked herself, "No, no, no, not going to work. How about…"
"Hey, Samey, when you're done talking to yourself, you want to sit with me?" Dave asked.
Samey blushed, "Uh…yeah…that sounds nice." Samey took a seat next to Dave.
"So…Samey," Dave engaged, "How've you been?"
"Oh…you know, same as always, hehe."
"Um…it must be pretty nice not being around your sister for once."
Dakota's words rang in Samey's ears. Perhaps Dave really did think Samey was Amy. She decided to make sure.
"You have no idea! It's so nice not having to deal with Amy for once."
Dave was alarmed by the emphasis on Amy's name, "Yeah, of course Amy, do you have another sister I should know about?"
"Hehe…no," Samey said.
"Good! Your life would be a living hell, wouldn't it?"
"Not exactly. I've always imagined having an older sister to tell Amy of and stick up for me," Samey confessed.
"You gotta learn to tell her off yourself, Samey."
Samey sighed. "I know," she realized.
Just then, Sky walked up to the two.
"Hey Dave, hey Samey," she said.
"Hello, Sky," Dave said with hatred.
"Um…I'm gonna go, now. See you later?"
"Yeah," Dave replied, "of course."
"Dave, I…"
Just then, the ship screeched to a halt and Chris's cheery voice rang over the intercom, "Contestants, we have reached land! Be ready for pain! Meet me outside in ten minutes or there will be penalties!"
Everybody got up from eating and rushed outside, eager to see the land they had hit. Some groaned, some gasped. All knew that whatever challenge Chris had thrown at them would be painful.
"Welcome, contestants, to the mechanical monster, Pahkitew Island, now relocated to somewhere in the Pacific!" Chris chimed, "This Island is newly renovated to be the single most excruciating experience you've had yet!"
Everybody looked scared.
"Today's challenge is twofold. The winner in part one wins a significant advantage in part two! Part one is a game I like to call Pick Your Poison!
"You're making us drink poison?" Lindsay gasped.
"No, but some of the things you'll be doing today will make you wish you were drinking poison!"
Everybody gasped.
"I have, in my hand, two decks of eleven cards: one deck for each team, one card for each player. On each card, you have a choice of two equally painful dares. If you perform either dare, your team gets a point. If you refuse, you don't get a point. The team with the most point gets an advantage in part 2."
"Wait a second," Noah interrupted, "There are eleven of them and nine of us! Even if we do all our dares, they get two freebies!"
"I was getting to that," Chris remarked, "Since the Geeks and Freaks are down two guys, two of their members will be performing two dares."
"I'll do it!" Scott and Eva called out in harmony.
"Alright then," Chris remarked, "First victim is Ezekiel!"
Ezekiel walked up to the host, stammering.
Chris pressed a button on his remote and two huge cliffs 50 feet across from each other emerged from the ground, with a thin girder connecting the two
"You have a choice: Walk from one cliff to the other in 20 kilometer-per-hour winds, OR, in heavy rainfall!"
"I'll take the rain," the prairie boy decided.
As soon as Ezekiel was on top of the first cliff, Chris pressed a button on his remote and the weather started pouring buckets on the cliffs.
"Don't look down," Ezekiel told himself, "Just don't look down and everything will be fine!" He started walking one-foot-in-front-of-the-other across the thin beam and realized he'd made a mistake in choosing the rain: it made the beam all slippery, but he eventually made his way from one cliff to the other.
"That's one point to the Geeks and Freaks! Next up, Alejandro!"
Alejandro walked up to the host, not looking nervous at all. Chris pressed a remote. To his left, a rapid stream, 30 meters long popped out with pointy rocks throughout it. The water must've been flowing at 40 kilometers per hour. To Chris's right, a 1000-meter cliff popped up with a half-meter ledge popping out
"Alejandro, you have a choice: row across these rapids blindfolded OR hike across this ledge blindfolded!"
"I'll take the rapids," the charming Latino answered quickly.
CONFESSIONAL: ALEJANDRO
"I've been river rafting across the wildest rapids around. This was cake for me."
END CONFESSIONAL
Alejandro jumped into a flimsy-looking raft and paddled across the stream with no problems at all.
"Nice! Alejandro scores a point for the Cool Kids' Club! Score is now 1-1! Up next, it's Eva!"
Eva walked up to the host, confident. The host pressed a button on his remote and the cliff and the stream disappeared. To Chris's left, there was a kilometer-long track covered in molasses. On his right was a kilometer-long track with a meter of popcorn on it.
"Eva, you have a choice: Run from an angry bear on this track," he gestured to the molasses track, "or this track!" he pointed to the popcorn track.
"I'll take the molasses."
Eva ran easily across the sticky track even faster than the bear. She crossed the finish line without even breaking a sweat.
"Score's 2-1! Is anybody gonna chicken? I sure hope not! It's too much fun watching them get hurt!"
"Brick! You're next!"
Brick walked up to the host. He only had one fear. He hoped that Chris's dare wouldn't involve the dark.
"You have a choice, Brick. You can spend the rest of the challenge with syrup in your underwear, or gravel!"
"Gravel!" Brick chose.
Chris scooped up some gravel and placed it in the cadet's boxers. He sat down with the rest of the Cool Kids' Club.
"Ouch! This hurts!" Brick announced to his team.
"Hang in there," Sky pleaded, "it's only a couple of hours. You can do it!"
"Izzy, you're next!"
Izzy actually looked happy about this challenge. Chris pressed a button on his remote and an angry-looking elephant appeared.
"Izzy, you have a choice: Fight off this elephant armed with a bow and 20 arrows OR with 5 spears!'
"You're going to make Izzy kill an endangered animal?" Bridgette asked the host angrily.
"This is Pahkitew Island. The elephant is robotic."
This seemed to becalm the surfer girl.
"Anyway, Izzy choose your weapon!"
"Spears! This'll be fun!"
CONFESSIONAL: IZZY
"I'm really confident in my spear hunting ability. Once, I hid out in Africa while hiding from the RCMP! I was befriended by some nice Massai warriors who taught me how to hunt lions and stuff!
END CONFESSIONAL
Izzy aimed a single spear at the elephant as it began to charge. The crazy girl jumped out of the way of the charging beast and threw a spear at it. It nailed the behemoth right in the eye, making it short-circuit and start smoking.
"Duck!" Chris shouted as the mechanical monster was blown to bits, "Izzy wins the third point! The score is now 3-2, Geeks and Freaks! Tyler, your turn!"
Tyler was trembling as he approached the host.
"You have a choice: step, barefoot into this box filled with venomous tarantulas OR put a group of harvester ants up your nose!"
"I'll take the spiders, easy!"
Tyler removed his shoes and placed his bare feet in the box of large, hairy spiders. The spiders crawled up and down his legs, but they didn't bite, much to Chris's disappointment.
"And Tyler wins another point for his team, making the score an even 3-3," Chris moped. "The next card contains Sugar's dares. Eva, you are about to perform your second choice."
"Bring it on!" the tough girl bellowed.
"I have with me two boxes. In one box, it's too narrow for you to sit. In the other, it's too short for you to stand. You have a choice: spend the rest of this challenge without sitting OR spend the rest of the challenge without standing!"
"Without sitting, duh," Eva answered. Chris then locked her in the box in which she could not sit down.
"4-3 and nobody's chickened! Bridgette, you're up!" The host publicized.
Bridgette walked up to take her challenge, her face paper-white. Chris pressed a button on his remote. The ground to Chris's left opened up, revealing a100-meter span of water. The ground to Chris's right opened up and two humungous cliffs sprouted from the hole, connected by a rickety 200-meter bridge.
"Bridgette, you have a choice: swim across that lake filled with piranhas while wearing cowboy boots OR walk across that bridge in high heels! Which do you choose?"
"I—I'll swim," Bridgette stuttered, "C-can I at least change into my swimsuit?"
"No time! Here are your cowboy boots, now get swimming!"
Bridgette managed to execute a couple of decent breaststrokes before a piranha nipped her hand. She still managed to do a few decent crawl strokes before a piranha latched onto her ear. She then went into full-out panic mode, swimming with speed that not even she knew she had. She ended up winning her challenge.
"4-4 tie!" the host called, "Ella, do your best!"
Ella skipped to the host, not intimidated by the challenge. Chris pressed his remote. To his left, a 10-meter hole opened up with thorny briar patches at the very bottom. To his right emerged a 10-meter mountain with thorny vines snaking around it.
"Ella, you have a choice: jump into this hole full of briar patches OR climb up this mountain covered with thorny stems!"
Ella paled. Whichever option she picked, she knew that she'd get hurt.
"I'll jump," Ella stuttered.
Ella jumped into the hole full of thorny patches. It hurt every inch of her skin and tore her dress and messed up her hair.
"~At least the patches broke my fall~" Ella sung as she climbed out.
"5-4 and nobody's chickened! This is about to get good! Next contestant to go is Trent!"
Trent walked up to take his challenge, aware of his track record of getting injured in challenges like this. Chris pressed his button and the ground to Chris's left opened up to reveal a frozen over lake of flimsy ice. The ground to his right opened up and a large, sandy hill emerged.
"You have a choice: Pogo stick on this frozen lake OR skateboard down this sand hill!"
CONFESSIONAL: TRENT
"Where does Chris come up with these challenges?" [1]
END CONFESSIONAL
"I'll skateboard down the sand hill," Trent decided.
Long story short, Trent made it down the sand hill. He jumped on the skateboard and fell off immediately, with his legs broken, his hands skinned and a misplaced shoulder in the end.
"Yeah, while Trent moves off to the hospital wing, it's time for Samey to take her turn!" Chris told the teens.
Samey moved up to Chris. In his hands, he held two boxes.
"I have with me two boxes. In one box is a bunch of rattlesnakes. In the other, buzz saws. You have a choice: Stick your hand into the box full of rattlesnakes for 30 seconds OR a box full of working buzz saws for 30 seconds!"
CONFESSIONAL: SAMEY
"This is a loose-loose. I'm terrified of snakes and those buzz saws will surely slice my hand off!"
CONFESSIONAL: CHRIS
"That's really weird! I remember writing the challenge as a choice between tarantulas and scorpions, but I like this idea much better, anyways!"
END CONFESSIONALS
"I—I can't do either, Chris," Samey said, "Sorry, guys."
"Boo!" Scott yelled.
"Why couldn't we have gotten the useful twin?" Noah asked his team.
"You suck!" Eva yelled from inside her box.
"I know who we're sending home tonight! Yup, yup!" Izzy sang.
"Guys, stop being so rude to Samey," Ella pleaded.
"Oh, listen, guys!" Scott yelled to his team in mock surprise, "The meek, mild fairytale princess is speaking!"
"Hey, don't talk to Ella that way!" Ezekiel scolded Scott.
"Hey, don't talk to Scott that way!" Courtney chastised Ezekiel. The crowd turned to face her. Courtney blushed, "Which is what I'd say if I cared!"
"Wow, this is great! I love this conflict!" Chris smiled, "but, this is a half-hour show, so, Geeks and Freaks miss a point. Score remains 5-5. Can Dave make it 5-6?"
Dave walked up, hoping that Chris wouldn't come up with any dirty challenges. Chris pressed his button, making two 100-meter high cliffs 30 meters across from each other. Connecting the cliffs was a tightrope and a 10-centimeter wide board.
"Dave, you have a choice: cross the gap between cliffs hand-over-hand on the tightrope OR foot-over-foot on the plank!"
"Plank!" Dave said without even thinking, "Do you have any idea how dirty that tightrope is? I can't touch it with my hands!"
Dave safely balanced on the plank between the cliffs.
"I was hoping there would be more ouches on that dare. Anyways, 5-6, Cool Kids' Club! Noah, can you tie it up?"
Noah approached the host, smug as ever.
"You have a choice:"
"Yes, I know I have a choice, Chris," Noah responded, "You don't have to announce it every time somebody goes to take a dare!"
"Yeah, but saying 'you have a choice' is fun, soooo….you have a choice: run underneath an angry elephant or jump over an angry alligator!"
"Yeah, I don't think so," Noah responded.
"Ugh! Come on, man! We're loosing" Scott pleaded
"This is why you never get to the merge, Noah," Eva chastised.
"Take one for the team, Noah!" Dakota told off.
"One what?" Noah asked his teammate, "One hand? One leg? One head?"
"Oh, don't try to play the sympathy card!" Scott yelled, "I lost my head once and I'm mostly ok! Do it!"
"No amount of persuasion will make me do it! Unlike you, Scott, I actually need my head."
CONFESSIONAL: NOAH
"No way was I gonna perform one of those death dares! I have backup. If we win, great. If we loose, Samey goes home. She refused her dare, too and she doesn't have my superior intellect," He chuckles, "Or my persuasion skills."
END CONFESSIONAL
"Score remains 5-6! What will Courtney do?"
Courtney was nervous, but not visibly so. She conducted herself in a confident and professional manner.
"You have a choice: put a single hungry vampire bat in your pants OR a nest of angry hornets!"
"Do you have anything that doesn't involve me putting stuff in my pants?"
"Nope! You need to pick one of those two!"
"No, I'll refuse," Courtney responded
"No, you won't" Heather yelled at her teammate.
"Yes I will! Someday, I'll be running for office and my opponent will show a video of me putting a wasp nest in my pants and I won't stand a chance!"
"I don't care!" Heather yelled, "You do this, or I guarantee you'll be the next one swimming!"
"We're not going to loose. We're still ahead!"
"I don't care! I'm not going to allow my team to loose just because Princess Courtney didn't want her pants to get a little messy!"
"I told you, we're not going to loose!"
"Heather, if she doesn't want to do it, don't make her!" Sky pleaded, "We are still ahead!"
"Sky, shouldn't you be crying about being so unappealing that not even the nerdling germaphobe wants to be with you!"
"Hey, I'm right here, you know!" Dave told Heather.
"I'm not like you, Heather!" Sky countered, "I believe in fair competition! I don't use people like you do!"
"Well, maybe you should start! Haven't seen you winning anything lately!"
"I got second place in the Manitoba gymnastic heptathlon!"
"Yeah! You were the first person to loose!"
"Selfish ox!"
"Little pig!"
"Girls, girls, break it up, you're both pretty!" Chris told the dueling girls, "This is a half-hour show! We need to hurry it up!" He nagged.
Sky glared at Heather. Heather smirked at Sky.
"Scott, can you tie it up?"
Scott strutted up to the host.
"You have a choice: Spend 30 seconds in a box full of bees OR a box full of rattlesnakes!"
"I'll take the snakes, thank you!"
Scott spent a full 30 seconds in the box without even disturbing one of the snakes. Scott strutted out as arrogantly as he strutted in.
"Scott gets a point! The score is an even 6-6! Sky, you're up!"
Sky walked up to the host.
"You have a choice: disturb a hive of killer bees OR poke a stick at a sleeping bear!" [2]
"Bees. I'll take the bees."
"Alright. Just throw this rock at that beehive and try not to get stung! Or do! That would be hilarious!"
Sky took the rock in her hand and tossed it at the hive. The bees soon came out and dispersed around the gymnast's head. Sky screamed and ran toward the water, scattering the bees.
"Sky wins a point! Score's 6-7, Cool Kids' Club! Next up, Scott will take Shawn's dare!"
Scott strutted back up to the host.
"Scott, you have a choice: Get a wasp stuck in your shirt OR get a mouse stuck in your pants.
"The mouse, easily!"
CONFESSIONAL: SCOTT
"Hehe! Back on the farm, mice would crawl into my pants all the time! This challenge was easy!"
END CONFESSIONAL
Chris took a mouse in his hand and placed it on Scott's shoe. The mouse crawled up his pant leg.
"Ahaha! It tickles!" The farm boy laughed.
"Ahaha! Hahaha! OUCH! It bit me! OUCH! AAAGGHHH! IT'S BITING ME!"
Chris cackled. "Hahaha! You can't write this stuff!" [3]
"OUCH! AAHHHH! GET IT OUT!" The mouse eventually crawled out of Scott's pant leg.
"Yes! That's awesome! Hahaha!" Chris snickered, "Hahaha! Anyways, haha, Lindsay, you're next!"
As the buxom blonde walked up to Chris, Chris brought back his remote and pressed another button on it. To Chris's left, a long, swiftly flowing stream appeared. To his right, a tall hedge that was about a meter across.
"You have a choice: run from a hungry mountain lion through that stream or that hedge!"
"Hedge"! Lindsay replied.
Chris released the mountain lion, which chased the blonde. The blonde panicked. She ran away from her feline assailant. Then she accidentally ran around the hedge as Chris pressed a button and the robotic mountain lion powered down.
"That was weak! The goal was to run through the hedge, not sidestep around it like a buffoon! No point"
"Way to go, Lindsiot!" Courtney scolded the blonde
"Yeah," Heather chastised, "Nicely done, Blondie!"
"Will you stop being so mean?" Sky reprimanded her teammate, "We're still tied! Show some sportsmanship or our team will loose! Be supportive!"
"As much as I love the fighting," Chris explained, "Believe me, I do, but we're past the time limit for this challenge, so can we hurry it up? Rodney, go!"
"You have a choice: defend yourself against this angry scuba bear with only a good sword OR a blowtorch!"
"Blowtorch!" Rodney decided.
Chris handed Rodney a blowtorch and released the angry semi-aquatic bear-bot. Rodney tried using his blowtorch, but it failed. The bear's artificial hide was too tough, so Rodney threw his fiery weapon to his side and used his big hands to try and take the bear head on. He punched the bear in the face and knocked out a few of its teeth, scaring it off.
As Scuba Bear scampered off into the woods, Chris looked dissatisfied.
"The goal is to defend yourself with your weapon. No point!"
A few of the Geeks and Freaks tried to protest, but Chris quickly shut them out.
"Heather, go! Quick!"
Heather strutted up to the host with a sinister smile. Chris pressed a button on his remote and two tall trees rose from the ground.
"Heather, you have a choice: climb a tree covered with tiny ants OR climb a tree covered with really sticky sap!"
"Ants! I can't get sap in my hair!" Heather whined.
Heather climbed the tree getting numerous rashes and bites from the tiny ants, much to everyone's delight, especially Chris's.
CONFESSIONAL: HEATHER
"That was the single most traumatic experience I've had since I got Harold's red ants dumped on me in the first season!"
END CONFESSIONAL
"The Geeks and Freaks are two points behind the Cool Kids' Club, meaning that even if Dakota performs the next challenge, the Geeks and Freaks still loose. The Cool Kids' Club wins!"
"At least we still have a shot in the follow-up challenge," Samey told her team optimistically.
"Yeah, about that," Chris interrupted, "We had a designated amount of time for this challenge, but you people exceeded the time limit by bickering so much, sooo…no follow-up challenge. The Geeks and Freaks are sending somebody home tonight!"
CONFESSIONAL: SAMEY
"I know, not my best performance ever, but I'm sure I can convince my teammates to keep me on!"
CONFESSIONAL: NOAH
"No way Samey is staying on!"
END CONFESSIONALS
DINING HALL
Noah approached the table at which Scott and Rodney were eating.
"Noah, you better have a good reason why we shouldn't vote you out!" Scott told the bookworm.
"I agree. My performance today was substandard, but I have a better idea."
"Oh?" Rodney asked, "Do tell."
"I was thinking we vote off Samey. She didn't perform her dare either, plus she's dead weight on the team. I'm the brains, you need me."
"You're right, Samey's useless. Why'd they let her on over her more useful sister?" Scott remarked.
"Exactly!" Noah agreed, "If we vote Samey off, we'd be doing the team a service!"
"Time to vote!" Chris's voice rang over the intercom, "Oh, and I need both teams present at today's ceremony!"
CONFESSIONAL: NOAH
"I've convinced Scott, Rodney and Eva to dump Samey, plus me equals 4 votes for Samey. I need 5 to guarantee that she goes home, but I couldn't get to anyone else. This vote will be a close one…"
CONFESSIONAL: SAMEY
She's crying.
"I heard all those nasty things my teammates said about me! If everybody's gonna be jerks, I'd rather be home with only one person treating me like that *sniff* I vote for myself!"
END CONFESSIONALS
DECK OF SHAME
"The votes are in," Chris declared, "If I call your name, you're safe! If I don't…well, you know what happens…"
Samey buried her head in her hands while Noah looked genuinely worried.
"The following Geeks and Freaks are safe: Rodney,"
…
"Ella,"
…
"Izzy,"
…
"Scott,"
…
"Eva,"
…
"Dakota,"
…
"Ezekiel!"
…
"Noah, Samey, you two might be going home because you outright refused to perform your dares! And the final safe spot goes to…"
Noah growled at Samey, Samey continued to cry and Dave looked nervous.

Samey sighed. Dave gasped.
"Alright, at least I don't have to deal with Scott and Eva anymore. Give me my lifeboat."
"What are you talking about?" The host asked the cheerleader, "I was just gonna make you switch teams!"
"YES!" Dave cheered, "If I cared…"
"Wait," Heather asked Chris, "Why are you punishing our team with the useless twin? We won!"
"You know, if everybody wants me gone, I'll go!" Samey protested.
"NO! Samey stays!" Chris announced, "That's final!"
"Come on, Samey," Courtney consoled, "You can share my room!"
"Yeah," Bridgette told Samey, "We're not like Scott and Noah."
"EEEE!" Lindsay squealed, "You can join our sleepover! You too, Courtney!"
"No! I lead a much more mature lifestyle than that!"
"Aw, come on!" Bridgette protested, "Lindsay's surprisingly fun!"
"Aw! Thanks! You're so sweet!" Lindsay cooed, oblivious to the word "surprisingly."
"Fine!" Courtney surrendered, "But just for tonight and just because it's Samey's first night."
STATEROOM 8 (BRIDGETTE & LINDSAY)
"So, Samey," Bridgette addressed, "Looks like Dave has the hots for you!"
"Yeah," Samey replied, "He's alright…Ok, he's more than alright! He's amazing! He's so sweet and cute! I'm even starting to like the cowlick!."
"Oooh!" Lindsay and Bridgette teased.
"Psh, whatever!" was Courtney's snotty reply.
"You gonna ask him out?" Bridgette enquired.
"Ummm…maybe! I've never asked a boy out. All the boys back home prefer my sister to me," Samey confessed.
"Just do it!" Bridgette encouraged, "He'll probably say yes and even if he doesn't, at least you asked!"
"You know what, you're right! I'll do it tomorrow."
"Good!" Courtney said, "Now I'm going to bed!"
STATEROOM 9 (SKY & HEATHER)
"So, Sky," Heather told her roommate, eager to stir up trouble, "Seems like Dave has the hots for that cheerleader girl. You jealous?"
"No, I screwed up," the gymnast responded.
"Really? You had him first! He liked you, now he wants some other girl! Aren't you a little upset?"
"Maybe a little, but your boyfriend isn't perfect either!"
"Really? He's handsome, charming and devious! What more could I ask for?"
"He tried to flirt with me during the paintball challenge!"
"WHAT!?" Heather bellowed, "THAT ARROGANT LITTLE WEASEL!"
CONFESSIONAL: SKY
"Sorry, Alejandro, I told you I'd tell!"
CONFESSIONAL: HEATHER
"Alejandro! We are so finished! You promised things would be different this season!"

CARGO HOLD
"Yes!" Amy cheered as she watched the footage of Samey being reprimanded by her team, "They hate her!"
Amy then continued to watch the recording of Samey crying on loop, laughing like the insensitive jerk she was.
"Success!" Topher celebrated. "Now that you've humiliated Samey, can we work on getting me in the hosting position!"
"Topher, this isn't over!"
"Come on! I only agreed to help you because you said you'd help me become host!"
"Oh, so you don't enjoy relishing in Samey's pain?"
