~A/N~ Well folks, here it goes. The first challenge is underway, and it time to see just what the campers are willing to do to win. As promised, the first elimination will occur at the end of this chapter, as well as the "debut" of our "new" elimination device. Review if you have any recommendations and hit that follow button!

When the sixteen teens ran into the woods, they threw out any notion of teamwork. Most campers decided to work in pairs, but some of them became lone wolves. For those who worked alone, the urgency of their mission set in rather quickly, but anyone who was part of a group lost focus rather easily as they became more interested in each other than the challenge at hand.

Almost one hour had passed without anyone having a bit of luck.

"So, Dakota?" asked Brick. "How exactly did you get cured?

"Lets just say that Daddy has very fat wallet."

Confessional

Dakota: "After season four, I gave up the life in the ring. What was I thinking? Anyways, Daddy paid a handsome sum to the top doctors in Ontario. With some pills and radiation treatment, it was only a few months until I turned back."

Brick: *Inhales* "Smell that? That is the smell of teamwork. Teamwork and sweat. My sweat, her sweat, everyone's sweat!"

End Confessional

"Nice!" said a jovial Brick. "But do have any idea of where the pieces might be found?"

"Well, Chris would want us to get hurt before we found them, so I suggest we look in the most dangerous place possible."

"And that would be?"

"There!" said Dakota, pointing to a tree. "I see one!"

Dakota's sharp vision had caught a puzzle piece hanging from a tree at about twenty feet in the air.

"Nice eyes ma'am, but how do we get it down?"

"Well, you have military training. Don't you know how?"

"..."

Confessional

Brick: "Wow, and I thought that putting the puzzle together would be a mental challenge."

End Confessional

"Yes, but why does that matter?" the cadet asked in confusion.

"Did they ever teach you how to make a human ladder?" Dakota asked with a grin.

"Oh, and my uncle Sal invented desks. Yah, before him, people just had to put their stuff on the floor, and then it would get dirty."

"That's great Staci," said Dawn.

"But dirt wouldn't be around if my great, great, great, grandmother Mary hadn't invented it. Before her, there were rocks everywhere, and people just had to walk on them with bare feet."

"Once again, that's great," said Dawn reluctantly. She and B shared a nervous glance.

Confessional

B: *He holds up his blackboard. It has a thumbs down drawn on it*

Dawn: "Staci's aura shows that she means well, but I just can't take it. She never stops talking."

Staci: "It's so awesome to be able to tell everyone about my extensive family tree. Everyone at my school has already heard about each of my family members, and now that I'm back on the show, I finally have another chance to spread my knowledge. Oh, maybe I should write a book, yah."

End Confessional

"Staci, why don't you look for pieces for now. We can't afford to miss a single one."

"But, don't you want to hear about my uncle Rick. He invented the revolver?"

"Yes," said Dawn nervously. "But not now."

"Oh, alright...but what about my great-aunt Sandra? She invented knives."

Dawn and B shared a peeved glance as Staci followed behind them.

"Dude," exclaimed Noah. "Chris said that the pieces were in the woods, not under the cabin."

"Yeah," said Tyler, "but when was the last time he was honest with you."

"Never, but that doesn't mean that you should ignore the guidelines of the challenge."

"Well, when I find that piece of the puzzle, you'll be thanking me!" said the jock as he pulled himself under the cabin's porch.

Noah turned away and collided with another camper.

"Debbie! What are you doing?" asked the agitated brainiac. " I thought you were looking for pieces."

"I was," said the fan girl, "but then I got the idea that maybe it would be smarter to look for pieces together."

"What about covering more ground?"

"What about having an extra pair of eyes?"

"Touche, but how will I be able to focus when you'll be breathing down my neck?"

"Don't worry about it Noah. I'm serious about the game, even if it might not seem that way."

Noah glared at Debbie with disbelief and uncertainty.

Confessional

Debbie: "It's true. I'm very serious about winning. But that doesn't mean that I'm not willing to give it up for my friends, like Noah."

Noah: "Yeah, right. She probably just wants to steal my briefs. Chris did compare her to Sierra."

End Confessional

"Fine, we can search together," said the reluctant bookworm, "but if you can't get your head out of the clouds and into the game, I'm ditching you."

"Oh, thank you!"

"Hey Sam, if found one!" yelled Ethan. "Hurry!"

Sammy rushed through the thick brush to the edge of the gorge where Ethan was peering over the side. She kneeled down and looked over the side of the cliff.

"Where?" she quickly asked.

Ethan pointed down to a small hole in the cliff face where a green puzzle piece rested. "There. But it's too far to reach by hand."

"Well, you're smart, right? What's the plan?"

"Do you have any rope?"

"What do you think?" she said sarcastically.

"It doesn't have to be a rope. We can find a vine."

"Well, how long does the vine have to be?"

"Under six seconds," laughed the nerd.

"Not...the time!"

"Alright, then we can hit it with a big stick," said an enthusiastic Brick. "Just like a pinata."

"Uh, hello. We need the puzzle piece intact," replied Dakota, waving her arms through the air impatiently.

"Well, why don't we just come back for it later."

"You're kidding, right?" Dakota frowned.

"What's the point of wasting our time. We could be finding some other pieces instead."

"But what if someone else finds the piece?"

"They won't."

"Why can't you go up and get it, again?"

"The last time I cut something down from a tree on this show, it didn't end well for me."

Confessional

Dakota: "I just had to team up with the bed wetter, didn't I. Normally I'm not this rude, but he's just so incompetent. I'm just stressed. Ever since I went on that treatment plan, my attitude has been off the charts, and this tail isn't helping."

Brick: "Guess there's just one last thing I can do, but I'm not excited about it."

End Confessional

Brick stood in silence with Dakota looking him in the eye.

"I'm climbing the tree!" exclaimed the cadet.

"Alright, just be careful," Dakota cautioned.

Brick grasped the side of the pine and slowly gained a foothold on a small branch. With every inch he progressed, his arms became more gelatinous until he could barely hold on much longer. Dakota watched from below, anxiously biting her nails as Brick grew closer to the limb from where the puzzle piece was hanging. Finally, Brick reached a knot hole where he was able to catch his breath.

Dakota breathed a sigh of relief. "Great job, Brick! Now just take it slowly. You're almost there."

Brick eased his body onto the short limb and grabbed the rope. With beads of sweat trickling down his face, he pulled up the piece and stood victorious.

"I got it!" yelled the cadet. "I'm coming down!"

Brick turned his body and took a single step towards the base of the branch and slipped. Thankfully, he caught himself just in time to avoid falling. However,he caught himself with his crotch. Brick gasped and slid sideways off of the limb, crashing through multiple branches and obstacles along the way.

When the cadet hit the ground, Dakota grabbed the puzzle piece from his hand and helped him up. Brick had no broken bones, but he could barely stand on his left foot.

"Ow!" screamed Brick.

"Sorry," said Dakota. "Try to take it easy."

"All in a day's work, ma'am."

"You were really brave. You deserve a long rest. Now let's get back to camp."

"Agreed."

"So, since we're alone together, would it be possible for me to pick your brain?" asked Debbie.

"If I let you, will you leave me alone. I have a date with George R. R. Martin, and I really don't want to be late."

"You smuggled in a book!"

"You sound surprised at the notion that a bookworm like me would bring a book to read."

"But the contracts said that-"

"I know. No smuggling in luxuries. But the truth is, and get ready for this, I don't care."

"So, why do you rebel so much? You know that it's good if the host likes you, right?

"I don't care what that insolent douche thinks about me, and neither should you. After three seasons of Chris, you would understand."

"But why make things harder for yourself?"

"Why not?"

"Answer me truthfully!" the fan girl begged.

"Look, I want to win as much as everyone else, but that doesn't mean that I have to follow the crowd."

"So, you're a revolutionary?"

"I suppose so, if going against the crowd is equal to the forced dethroning of a monarchy, of course."

"So, you're not that much of a cynic. You just want to live your own life, but no one will let you."

"Exactly."

Confessional

Noah: "Alright, Debbie's not that bad. But that doesn't mean that I won't think about giving her the boot if we lose. I'm not going to be another Cody."

Debbie: "Noah might be rude at times... okay, all the time. But, that doesn't mean that he's heartless. I bet that under that cynical shell is the soul of a sweetheart."

End Confessional

"So, what is life around your house like?" asked Debbie.

Noah didn't want to answer. "I really don't feel like talking about that right now. Maybe later we can-"

Suddenly, Noah's foot caught on a root and he fell flat on the ground, right in front of a tree. The bookworm opened his eyes and something caught his sharp attention. In a small hole at the base of the tree was a red piece of wood. Noah reached inside the hole and pulled it out.

"Noah, what's wrong?" asked Debbie with concern.

"Nothing, because I'm the luckiest person on the island."

Debbie, seeing the puzzle piece in Noah 's hands, said, "You found one! Group hug!"

"No!" panicked the bookworm with his hands held out, hoping to block what he knew was coming.

"There, that one should be long enough. What do you think Sam?" asked Ethan with enthusiasm.

"Well, I'm not the one being lowered into a fifty foot deep chasm, so I think you should make that decision," replied the female athlete.

Ethan grasped the vine with his hands and pulled it out of the tree. "Well, it's strong enough to hold me, but it might not reach the piece. However, this is the only sizable one we've seen so far."

"It's your choice."

"I know, but we're a group, so we have to work together."

Confessional

Sammy: "Ethan is smart, but he's just so unsure about everything. How can I make an alliance with a guy who thinks twice about every decision he makes?"

Ethan: "Sam is nice, but I wish she would pay more attention to me. I know that we're in a group, but she completely ignores personal discussions. It feels like she hates me, but I really need someone to trust, and she and I are in the same boat. The truth is, I'm not really great at making friends."

End Confessional

"Well, let's get this over with," said Sammy.

Back at the cabin, Tyler was still searching under the structure, and Brick was resting on the porch with his only piece of the puzzle. All of the sudden, Brick heard a faint noise coming from behind the cabin. Using all of his remaining strength, he pulled himself up and slowly made his way to the source of the mysterious sound.

When Brick rounded the corner of the cabin, he screamed at the couple. "Justin, Anne Maria! What are you doing! You're supposed to be looking for puzzle pieces, not each other's lips."

"We did look," said the Jersey girl, "We looked behind the cabin."

"And since we didn't find anything," said Justin, "we decided to rest. And correction, we weren't making out. We were merely exploring each other's facial structures."

"I don't care," said the cadet. "You're not abiding by the code of teamwork. You are slackers."

"And proud of it," Anne Maria replied. "What ya' gonna' do, huh?"

"Ma'am, I highly recommend that you and Justin try to help our team. It's my job to keep everyone in line!"

Justin stood up. "You can't tell us how to play the game. This isn't the Soviet Union, it's Total Drama." The model paused. "That wasn't an insult, was it?"

"Forget him baby," snapped Anne Maria, "let's go find another place to lay back!"

"Fine!" shouted the angry cadet. "But don't think that you can escape your commitment."

"Whatevah' ya' say!" said the Jersey chick as she walked into the woods with Justin.

Confessional

Brick: "They think they can just give up like that, huh? Well, it looks like Sargent MacAurthur needs to take to control of this team immediately. It's getting way out of control!"

End Confessional

Brick stood at the edge of the clearing, watching the pair of lovers disappear further into the forest.

"I'll show them," said the frustrated cadet.

"No, it's mine!" screamed Eva. "It has my color on it! Now hand it over, mouthbreather!"

"Well," snorted Jordan in contempt, "I found it first. Therefore, it belongs to me!"

"It isn't even for your puzzle!"

"Chris said nothing about stealing pieces from the other team!"

"Yeah, but it's our piece!"

"You want it?"

"You want your manhood?!" the bully growled.

"Sure, why not?" the camo-clad golfer joked.

"Then give me the damn piece!"

"Well then, you'll have to catch me to get it!"

Jordan dashed into the bushes with Eva closing in fast. The young athlete saw a low hanging branch and pulled it down towards his chest. When Eva reached the base of the tree, Jordan let it go. The branch swung with lightning-fast speed towards Eva, but it was too slow. The iron woman caught the limb in her right hand and snapped it off of the tree.

Jordan gasped. "Alright lady, you can have it back!" He threw the piece at Eva, who dodged it matrix-style. She slowly walked towards Jordan with her branch held high.

"So, now that you, uh, have your piece, you should probably take it back to the cabin," said Jordan with a nervous chuckle.

Confessional

Jordan: *He has a black eye* "Yeah, I probably should've thought twice about ruffling her feathers."

End Confessional

Jordan was left groaning on the ground. He stood up and reached into his pocket. He pulled out a pair of red puzzle pieces and grinned, despite the pain.

"Yeah, who's the best now!" said the athlete to himself.

When Noah and Debbie returned to camp, Jordan had already put his pieces on the porch of the cabin and sat down to guard the puzzle.

"I found one!" said Debbie.

"Don't you mean I found one," quipped Noah. "You didn't actually help me find it."

Jordan stood up. "Does it matter?"

"Not really, no!" replied the bookworm.

"Then forget it," said Jordan calmly. "What really matters is that we have a three to one lead on the Llamas!"

"Make that a tie!" came a feminine voice from behind Noah and Debbie.

The pair turned to see Eva, Sammy, and a bruised Ethan. In Eva's hands were two green puzzle pieces.

Sammy snickered, "So, Jordan, what happened to your face."

"You know what happened, so stop with the jokes."

"Wow, I thought we were friends?" said Sammy with a playful laugh.

"We are, well we're on good terms. We're just on different teams."

Brick suddenly approached the group with a limp. "Great job teammates! You three deserve medals."

"Thanks, Brick," said Sammy.

"Great," replied the cadet, "Now get back out there and find some more. That's an order."

"What!?" asked Ethan in shock. "You expect us to work our butts off again. Do you know how hard it was to get just one piece?"

"Judging by your injuries, It must have been rather difficult. What happened anyway?"

"He hit a few rocks on the way back up," added Sammy. "We found this one on the side of a cliff and I had to lower him down to get it."

Brick continued, "And that's great work. But we can't lose anymore teammates. Justin and Anne Maria are on a make out spree, and Sadie hasn't come back yet. As it stands, Dakota is the only one who is actually trying."

"Hold it!" asserted Eva. "Are you saying that I didn't work to get this piece!" She pointed to Jordan. "I had to chase this tool forever just to get this thing back. Don't say that I didn't carry my own weight!"

"Tool?!" Jordan said. "How am I a tool? Noah, do you think that I'm a-"

Jordan turned to ask Noah, but saw that both Noah and Debbie were gone.

"I'm not a tool!"

Brick added to his previous statement. "I'm not saying that you didn't try. I'm just saying that you can still work harder."

"Whatever!" screamed Eva in a rage. "Just stay out of my way, all of you!" Then the iron woman stormed off into the forest again.

"Touchy," commented Ethan.

"Yah, my great, great, great, great, great, great aunt Bertha invented puzzles," explained Staci, "If she were here, it would be so easy to win."

Dawn and B looked back at Staci, who was following about fifty feet behind, and groaned to themselves.

"You know B, Staci helped us find these three pieces, in a way," said Dawn. "If she wasn't here, you would had never went into the bushes to get away from her and found this one."

B gave Dawn a thumbs up.

"And she did see this other one that was stuck in that tree."

B nodded.

"It might be hard to tolerate her...quirks, but she's a nice person, and she can be pretty useful. Just try to be nice. I can sense that her day's been hard. Not everyone has been polite today."

B looked down in shame.

Confessional

B: *Holds up his portable blackboard* "Fine."

Dawn: "I feel awful about robbing her of an opportunity to prove herself in season four, but I was robbed as well. So I suppose I got what I deserved."

End Confessional

"Guys!" screamed Staci, "Wait for me!"

Dawn and B faintly groaned as the liar tried to keep up.

Back at the cabin, Jordan was trying to assemble that puzzle pieces that he had already. He had taken off his camouflage jacket to reveal a well built upper body, but a very noticeable belly. Samantha couldn't help but stare.

"Wow, I thought you would be ripped," said Sammy.

"I know. Golf doesn't really require lots of work outs to play."

Meanwhile, Ethan was speaking with Brick about the puzzle. Brick wasn't in the mood to put the puzzle together with just three pieces, but Ethan wanted to get a head start.

Then the group heard the unmistakable squealing of Katie and Sadie. The BFFF's ran out of the woods and up to the cabin. In Sadie's hands were three green puzzle pieces, all belonging to her team.

"Oh my God, Katie!" squeaked the larger BFFF. "I don't know what I would do without your help!"

Jordan gasped and stood up, gaining the attention of both girls. "Katie! Did you help her find those pieces!"

"Yeah," replied Katie. "She said that she was having a really hard time finding any, so I gave her the ones that I found."

Confessional

Jordan: "She can't be that stupid!"

End Confessional

"Why did you do that! Sadie isn't even on your team!" screamed the jock.

"She was struggling. Our friendship transcends the teams."

"Well, you might have just cost us the game!"

"How did I cost our team the game, I-"

"She was just helping me. I'm sorry!" pleaded Sadie. "I can go put these back if you want."

"Dont you dare!" screamed Sammy. "Hand them over!"

Sadie handed Sammy the pieces. The athletic girl gave them to Ethan and Brick.

"But I-" continued Katie.

"No, you dont get to finish your thought!" snarled Jordan.

"I found one of our pieces!" the small BFFF yelled.

Jordan perked his eyes. "What?"

Katie reached into her shorts nd pulled out a red piece of the Foxes' puzzle. Have glared at the smart jock.

"Oh," said Jordan with a faint laugh. "Sorry 'bout that."

"Apology, not accepted," growled Katie, tears forming in her eyes.

Confessional

Katie: "That new guy is such a meanie. If we lose, I'm voting for him."

Sadie: "I sure wish Katie and I were on the same team. If we were, I would punch that mega jerk in the chops."

End Confessional

Noah and Debbie, having heard the screaming, came rushing back to the cabin. "What happened?" asked the brainiac.

Jordan spoke up. "Katie found one of our pieces."

"Awesome!" exclaimed Debbie.

"She also found three of Sadie's too."

Katie and Sadie gave Jordan dirty looks.

"Ok," said Noah, ignoring the bad news, "How many pieces do we have now?"

"Four," said Jordan. "We need three more, but the Llamas only need one."

"Well, what do we do?" asked Debbie. "They're already putting their puzzle together."

"You better hurry!" came a familiar voice.

Chris landed mere feet behind the three Foxes with his McLean Jetpack. "I heard that we had some arguing here, heh he!"

"I know!" screamed Jordan. The athlete turned to the other members of his team. "Noah, Debbie, it's up to you. Katie's out of commission, Dawn, B, and Staci haven't come back, and I'm pretty sure Tyler's stuck under the cabin."

"We've searched everywhere," answered Noah. "There are no more pieces! Just ask Chris."

"Sorry," the host replied, "the cameras still show that your team has three pieces left. Looks like you guys might be sleeping in the rain tonight."

"I don't think so!" came a voice from behind.

Chris and the others turned around.

"Yes!" squealed Jordan in joy.

Dawn, B, and Staci had just made it back with the last three pieces of the Foxes' puzzle. B handed them to Jordan who ran over to the rest of the pieces and called over his team. Meanwhile, Sammy and Ethan had finished putting together half of the pieces they had,leaving room for three more pieces.

"Just one left!" Sammy told Brick.

"Not for long!" exclaimed Ethan. "Look!"

Ethan pointed to the treeline, where Dakota, Justin, and Anne Maria were running with the last puzzle piece.

"Hurry," rushed Noah. "They have the last piece!"

"I'm trying," replied Jordan. "These things have two sides to them."

"It's game on!" announced Chris. "The Foxes of Failure and the Llamas of Loserdom have all their pieces. It's anyone's game!"

"No," panicked Noah. "That piece goes on the middle row."

"I know, just give me some room!"

Samantha was sweating. "Ethan, grab that piece with the rim on it."

"Here!"

As soon as it began, the puzzle assembly for both teams was already over.

"Done!" screamed Jordan, Noah, Sammy, and Ethan simultaneously.

"It's a tie!" said Chris with a wide grin. The host walked over to the two teams and their shabby puzzles. He looked over the puzzles for a few nail-biting seconds and made his decision.

"Here's the good news," said Chris. "There's no need for a tiebreaker."

Both teams cheered in hope.

"However, the bad news is that the losing team lost because of one incorrectly placed piece."

The campers' eyes widened in suspense.

"Our winning team today is..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"The Llamas of Loserdom!"

Sammy, Brick, Dakota, and Ethan jumped in support of victory, Justin and Anne Maria kissed, and Sadie hugged a shocked Katie.

"As your reward," added Chris, "you get the cabin until the next challenge. As for the Foxes, you'll vote off one of your losers tonight. See you at the bonfire at eight o'clock, heh he."

"Great. Just, great," groaned Noah.

"Don't worry Noah," said Debbie. "I won't vote for you tonight."

Noah raised an eyebrow.

"I'll vote with you no matter what."

Noah turned away and joined the rest of his team.

Dawn approached the know-it-all and spoke in her calm and collected voice. "Don't worry. I completely understand how your life at home makes you feel. You don't have to let your desire for love get in the way of the game."

Noah stood in shock and confusion. "How did you know that?"

"It's in your aura."

"Aura?"

"It's the-"

"I know what it is. But how did you know that stuff about me. Did Chris tell you?"

"You'll see the light eventually, Noah."

As Dawn moved on ahead Noah asked, "Hey, what is that supposed to mean?!"

As the entire team of the Llamas of Loserdom, sans Eva, who was still out in the woods, went inside their newly earned residence, Jordan was trying to pull Tyler out of the crawlspace under the cabin. Once Tyler, covered in mud and rat feces, was pulled out, Jordan sent him to clean up before the elimination ceremony.

Meanwhile, Noah was reading his book under a tree with Debbie eagerly awaiting the turning every page. Dawn was meditating on a nearby stump with B and Staci talking, or in B's case, listening, nearby. Katie was sitting with Sadie on the porch of the cabin.

"So, B. Who do think you'll vote for tonight?" asked Dawn to the silent genius.

"B pointed towards Staci, now occupied with annoying Tyler and Jordan.

"I know you don't like her all that much, but we should give her a chance. She helped us find two pieces today."

B raised his shoulders in confusion. The genius pulled his portable blackboard out of his trench-coat and scribbled down a pair of words. "Then who?"

With all eight members of the Foxes sitting on fallen logs around the campfire, Chris started the ceremony.

"If sleeping outside like dogs wasn't tough enough, now you losers have to vote off a player," snarked the host.

Katie spoke up. "Well, after tonight, I know I'll be sleeping very well."

Jordan hung his head in shame after giving the small BFFF a glare.

"In all honesty," continued the host, "I can't say that anyone's safe tonight."

The campers exchanged nervous glances.

"Noah and Jordan. You guys messed up the puzzle after you got the luckiest break in Total Drama history."

"Tyler, you spent four hours crawling in crap. Not much else to say about your position."

"Katie, you gave a huge advantage to the other team in the name of friendship."

"Debbie, you won't leave anyone alone."

"Staci, you won't shut up."

"Dawn and B, I actually can't say anything bad about you two."

"Now, before we get started, I have a small announcement to make. No more marshmallows."

"Ok, why does that matter?" asked Tyler.

"Well," said Chris, "Since our budget got cut to save up for our next season, we had to downgrade our symbol of safety."

Chris pulled out seven sticks. On each one was a roasted hotdog. "We have wienies, made with the cheapest pork in Canada. Pretty fitting for this season, don't you think?"

"Get on with it!" shouted Jordan.

"Whatever. Wienies go to..."

"Dawn." The moonchild got up and claimed her wienie with a smile.

"..."

"..."

"Tyler...and Noah." The pair high-fived and claimed their ticket stay in game.

"..."

"..."

"Beverly." The silent giant scowlled as he swiped his hotdog from the host's grip.

"..."

"..."

"Katie." The BFFF blew a raspberry in Jordan's direction and took her wienie.

"..."

"..."

"..."

"and Jordan!" Jordan sighed with relief and left two girls on the chopping block.

"Debbie, Staci, this is the final wienie. The camper who doesn't get this wienie... is going home, and can never come back."

Debbie had a desperate and concerned look on her pale face, while Staci cowered in fear.

"The final wienie..."

"..."

"..."

"Goes to..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"..."

"Staci."

Debbie quickly stood up in protest. "How did I get the most votes!?"

"I didn't vote for you," said Jordan, who was eating his symbol of safety.

Debbie desperately looked towards Noah. "Noah, do something!"

"What do want me to do, vote myself off!"

"No, but you can, uh..."

"Uh, Debbie," said Chris. "I believe that your time is done."

"Please, don't send me home! I can't leave yet. I have so many questions for everyone."

"My favorite color is beige," quipped Noah. "Are you done?"

"Noah... did you-"

Chef Hatchet suddenly popped up behind the confused teen and grabbed her shoulders. The burly cook proceeded to drag the fan down a small cliff side with the rest of the team following behind them. On the edge of the cliff was a massive boot, rooted to the ground by an axle, connected to a giant wooden pole.

"I give you," said a grinning Chris, "the Swift-kick-to-the-butt of Shame. May it haunt your every thought." Chris winked to the camera. "It used to be a part of our 'Food Fright' obstacle course. We found it after the island sank.

Chef dropped Debbie on a small red X, painted on the rocks that were under the contraption.

"So, any last words before you get the boot."

Yes, I do. I'm sorry if I held you guys back. All I ever wanted was to hang with-"

Chris pressed a small button on his handheld remote and the giant rubber boot swung through the air and launched Debbie across the sky until she was no longer visible.

Noah, who was standing in the back of the crowd, had second thoughts about his vote.

"And," finished Chris," that's our first episode. Just what's in store for our final fifteen? Who's getting booted next? And most importantly, can I get any hotter?"

The seven campers groaned.

"Tune in next time for answers to all these questions and more on, Total... Drama... Return of the Underdogs!"

The Votes

Dawn: "Staci really pulled her weight today, so I can't bring myself to vote for her. I guess I'll vote for the new girl. She barely tried."

B: *Holds up his blackboard* "Debbie"

Jordan: "With the way I acted, I wouldn't be surprised if I get some votes tonight. But if I have to save myself, then Katie is the one to go."

Noah: "Debbie. End of discussion."

Tyler: "I vote for Staci. The chick never stops talking."

Debbie: "I'm feeling really good about this. I really see myself as part of the team. I vote for Staci."

Katie: "Jordan is so mean. I vote for him."

Staci: "Did you know that my great, great, great, great, uncle Frank invented voting? Before him, people just stayed on islands forever. Wait, what did I come here to do again? Oh yeah, to vote! I vote for Katie. She really screwed us up. Speaking of screws..."

End Voting Confessional

The results:

Debbie: 3 votes

Staci: 2 votes

Katie: 2 votes

~A/N~ Sorry Staci-haters, but the chatterbox remains in the game. Hopefully you're entertained by the new contestants, and if you weren't, don't worry, they're not as big in the next episode.

Hopefully no one was upset by elimination. It's all part of the plot though;). Don't forget to review and fav if you liked the first episode, cause the next chapter will be up in the next week.
