"Alright you guys, this season each team will be sleeping in the same cabin, boy or girl. You're old enough now and frankly I like it better this way, causes more drama!" Chris snickered.
"Fine with me, no catty girls to deal with," said Gwen contently.
(confessional)
Duncan: We finally get to share a cabin with girls and my girlfriend isn't even on my team. Just great…
"Ah, a cabin with three beautiful ladies!" said Alejandro as he smiled at the girls on his team. "If you get lonely at night you can always cuddle with me, chickita." He looked at Courtney and gave her an irresistible wink as she rolled her eyes in disgust.
"As if! I'm not getting myself tangled in any relationships this time. Got it!" stammered Courtney as she looked away. Heather noticed this and her insides began to burn with fury.
"So, I'll give you about 10 minutes to get settled, mingle with each other and then meet me at the mess hall for your first challenge!" announced Chris.
Team Duncan
"Wow, you guys! I am so happy with our team! We are going to do so well, don't you think?" said Bridgette looking pretty pleased as she stepped into her new cabin.
"I know, right? We're all tight!" replied Geoff. "Every other team has people who can't stand each other, except ours!"
"Right you are. Wow, what a lucky break I don't have to deal with Courtney!" said Duncan as he jumped onto his bed.
"I don't know guys… I'm just afraid I might be cursed again. I don't want to hurt our team!" said DJ.
"It's nothing DJ, don't worry about it, man!" said Geoff as he helped bring in DJ's bags.
Team Owen
"What a great team we've got, eh!" said Tyler proudly. "Nothing can stop us!"
"For real, dude! I think our cabin will be the couple's cabin since we're two couples, eh," said Owen giving Tyler a wink.
"Woah, Owen. I like Lindsay! Not you." replied Tyler as he backed off.
"Noo! I meant you and Lindsay and then there's me and Izzy! Not you and me, haha!" said Owen laughing nervously.
"Ohh right! Sorry man, I get confused sometimes. Awesome, me and Lindsay on the same team again," said Tyler.
"Haha, I can't believe you thought I was with you, haha, it's funny, right? Well you're like smokin' hot obviously, but…I… I like girls! Yep, girls! Izzy's a girl, you know? I really like Izzy, haha!" stammered Owen as he stared at Tyler nervously.
"Are you okay, man?" asked Tyler suspiciously.
"Uhh, yeah! Of course, man. Hey where's the girls at?" said Owen quickly.
(confessional)
Owen: What? I'm not gay! And I'm definitely NOT Bi-sexual, for sure… I know it, I just love girls! Like Izzy! Of course Tyler's hot but like a manly kind of hot, you know! Like, I just wanna wrestle around with him in mud, kind-of manly!... Its normal, every guy thinks some guys are hot… right? Right?
Team Alejandro
"Oh my gosh, Katie! We're on a team with Alejandro! Yeeeee!" Sadie squealed in which Katie joined.
"He's like so gorgeous, Sadie! I hope he sleeps without a shirt!" said Katie excitedly.
"Uhh, he better not! It's bad enough I have to be on a team with you two," exclaimed Courtney as she barged in the room.
"Hello ladies! So where's my bed?" asked Alejandro as he walked in.
"Right there!" said Courtney as she motioned to the floor between the bunks.
"It's that one over there, Alejandro!" said Sadie as she pointed across from her bunk to the other top bunk. Courtney looked annoyed as Alejandro saw he was going to be sleeping on the bunk above Courtney.
"Why thank you, Katie! See, Courtney, someone here values me," said Alejandro as he leapt onto his bed.
"It's Sadie, actually," replied Sadie as she smiled at him. "Yeah, whatever, Katie is easier to remember" he replied.
(confessional)
Sadie: He just said whatever to me! That wasn't very nice of him... but I'm sure he's just tired or something…
Team Gwen
"I gotta say I'm glad I can tolerate everyone on my team for once!" said Gwen as she got into her cabin.
"You know it!" replied Leshawna. "Harold, honey, can you help carry my bags in here?"
"Anything for you, Leshawna!" said Harold as he ran to get Leshawna's leopard print luggage. He failed miserable trying to life them up. Noah tried to help as well but they couldn't get it to budge.
"Oh come on, string beans! Just put some muscle into it!" Leshawna said annoyed. She then picked up her suitcase and carried it inside as the two boys stood looking ashamed.
"Whatever, I'm more of a brains kind of guy, not braun," protested Noah.
"Leshawna will surely think less of me now that she has seen how weak I am," said Harold with his head down. "I need to prove to her that I am tough."
"Good luck with that…"replied Noah sarcastically.
Leshawna put down her luggage and told Gwen what just happened as they both started laughing. "Oh boy, we might not do as well as I initially thought" said Gwen humorously. "Whatever, we can drag those two to the finish every challenge if we have to. I am not going to lose this time," said Leshawna sternly.
Team Heather
"So, welcome to Team Heather! I think we can really do awesome if we work together and most importantly, listen to me!" said Heather rather nicely.
"We've got a really strong team so we can definitely crush the others," added Justin as he glanced at Heather trying to get on her good side.
"Well since there's no voting off I guess I can try and trust you guys, but if any of you try anything fishy I can easily kill you In your sleep, got that!" Eva declared as she scared Trent right back out the door.
"Trent! Don't be shy! Come on in! I'm sure Eva was just joking…weren't you!" said Heather as she glared at Eva angrily. "Don't worry; we're going to be a great team!"
"Wow, thanks a lot Heather!" said Trent as he made his way into the room and was about to put his bags on the bunk under Heather's when Justin stopped him.
"Sorry Trent, but that's mine. You're sleeping on that one, on top of Eva's," said Justin with a smirk on his face.
"Oh. That's alright," said Trent nervously.
(confessional)
Trent: So, I'm starting to get used to my team. They're all really great I'm sure; just need some getting used to. Heather seems to be acting way nice which is confusing but hey, I'll take it. Eva on the other hand, she scares the living daylights outta me. Would she really kill one of us in our sleep?
Chris waited at the mess hall as the teams trickled in soon after each other. Chef prepared lunch: spaghetti and meatballs, although there were green stuff that nobody could figure out what it was, just that it was not meant to be in spaghetti.
"Is everyone ready for your first challenge?" announced Chris. "In today's challenge we will see which team has the best leader. The captain will be the leader of their team. The rest of the team members will be blindfolded. Now meet me outside for your challenge."
Chris had all the captains lined up and the rest of their teammates were already blindfolded and stood still trying not to fall or trip. "Alright, first thing's first. We will be giving you each a team color that will represent your team for the rest of the competition. You can pick between green, blue, yellow, red and purple," Chris announced.
"I call purple!" said Gwen quickly.
"I want blue!" said Duncan right after Gwen.
"I pick red. It's a strong color!" said Heather confidently.
"I'll take green, Chris," said Owen.
"Yellow it is," said Alejandro.
"Seriously, yellow? That color sucks! Can we be gold or something?" yelled Courtney.
"Anyways," Chris disregarded Courtney, "the captains will have to guide their team member's one at a time to find their 3 team flags. The first team back here with all 3 flags will win the first challenge and the reward. The last team back here will be losing someone tonight. Got it? On your marks, get set, go!"
Immediately all team captains sprang into action. Heather took Eva and were practically running into the forest without any guidance. Alejandro and Katie went down to the beach, so did Owen and Izzy. Gwen and Leshawna went over to the elimination area and found a purple flag sitting on a stump. Duncan and Geoff made their way to the mess hall where Geoff tripped up the stairs and then smacked into the front door. "Duncan, man! Help!" yelled Geoff who was in pain.
"Yes, I see one! Okay Geoff, just go straight, good, now turn left and reach in front of you! Yes you got it!" said Duncan thrilled as they returned to the start.
Heather and Eva were the first ones back with their first red flag. Heather then took Trent onto the beach where Alejandro and Katie were returning from.
"Izzy, it's right there on the dock, I see it! Just walk straight," said Owen. Instead Izzy ran forward but fell right off the dock and into the lake. "Oh, sorry Izzy!"
"Hahahah! I didn't see that coming!" said Izzy laughing.
Gwen and Leshawna were currently in second place as they returned with their first flag and Gwen now guided Noah towards the mess hall where they saw Geoff and Duncan coming back with their first flag in third place. Duncan then took Bridgette into the forest where their team wasn't hitting into anything now that Duncan was putting more effort into guiding.
Izzy soon got out of the water, onto the dock and grabbed their first green flag and got back to the start. Owen then took Lindsay and made their way to the elimination area where they found their next flag on a stump as well. Lindsay fell many times but got back up quickly each time.
Alejandro and Sadie found their second yellow flag on the dock easily but she was accidentally pushed into the water by Trent who got their second flag. "Uh oh, sorry whoever that was!" said Trent. "Trent, forward now!" yelled Heather who kept Trent going while Alejandro was distracted by Heather as she ran off. "Um, Alejandro! What do I do?" screamed Sadie in a panic. "Ugh, get up you!" he grabbed Sadie's hands and pulled her up onto the dock in annoyance. Sadie coughed up water then got up and continued back with Alejandro.
Soon Trent, Noah, Lindsay and Bridgette were all back around the same time and it was dead even in a four-way tie for first place! Sadie and Alejandro had just arrived and were currently in last place.
"Come on Alejandro, we gotta win this now!" demanded Courtney as they ran into the forest.
As Heather and Justin got their last flag, Justin began asking Heather about her strategy and that he'd love to form an alliance with her. "That's great Justin, but now is not the time! So shut up and let's get moving!" barked Heather.
Duncan and DJ searched on the beach and on the dock and could not find a blue flag anywhere. "Man we're screwed!" said Duncan as he caught his breath. "What about the elimination area, we haven't been there?" asked DJ. "Oh yeah, that's right! I saw Lindsay walking down there before!" said Duncan as the two made their way in that direction.
Owen and Tyler were now on the beach but could not find their last flag. Owen's stomach was growling and so he decided to leave Tyler to go get some food quickly.
"Owen! Where should we go now? Hello? Owen?" said Tyler in confusion as he stood alone.
Gwen had managed to notice their purple flag on the beach and Harold quickly retrieved it. Gwen noticed Heather and Justin just in front of them when she quickly took a rock and shot it at Justin's leg.
"Oww! My leg! I've been bit! Ahh!" screamed Justin in agony as he fell on the sand.
Heather hadn't noticed what had happened and was extremely confused. "Justin, it's probably nothing you big drama queen! There are no crabs on this beach," said Heather as she started pushing Justin.
"Mhm, I hope Chef has those yummy muffins from this morning!" said Owen as he entered the mess hall. "Oh snap! That's our flag!" yelled Owen as he ran out of the mess hall to a lost Tyler. "Tyler, come to my voice, fast!" Tyler heard Owen and immediately ran towards him; he smashed into a garbage can on the way and also into Justin.
"Ow! These crabs must be ginormous!" screamed Justin once again. "It was just Tyler, Justin! Now, move it!" demanded Heather.
Tyler eventually got to Owen rather quickly, grabbed the flag and raced towards the finish line. However, one other team reached it just before they did.
"Congratulations to the Purple team! Gwen, Harold, Noah and Leshawna, you are all safe and will be getting a reward," said Chris as the purple team cheered. "And a close second goes to the Green team!"
"Yay Tyler! You were amazing!" said Lindsay as she embraced her boyfriend and the four of them had a big group hug. This was followed by Izzy doing a King Kong impersonation.
Heather finally got Justin to walk and barely made it to the finish. "Congrats Red team! You're the third team to arrive, and you're all safe," said Chris.
"Only two teams are still searching! Who will make it back first?" said Chris to the camera.
Duncan and DJ had made it to the elimination ceremony where Duncan found the flag on a stump. DJ tried to grab it but tripped over the stump and fell on his face. "Ow! My face! Duncan, the pain is too much!" DJ cried. "There's nothing there, not even a scratch!" yelled Duncan. "I told you all, my curse is real! Nature is against me! First animals, now tree stumps!" exclaimed DJ. "Oh you've got to be kidding me, dude! Get a grip!" said Duncan as he took DJ's hand and placed it over the flag. "Let's go! I heard some teams are already finished!" Then a loud siren was heard.
"Game's over!" said Chris as he brought the siren down. Courtney and Alejandro were already back with their last yellow flag. "Sorry Blue Team, but looks like one of you four will be the first sent off the island. I'll see you tonight at the elimination area," said Chris with a devilish smile.
(confessional)
Geoff: Aw man, this sucks! Our team rocks and now one of is going to get the boot. I just hope it won't be Bridge or I.
Duncan: Man, we totally had that challenge! DJ screwed it up for us big time so he deserves to go home, but now that we aren't voting anymore, it could be anyone.
Bridgette: I really liked our team, it's sad that one of us will be leaving. I would have voted for Duncan since he was the leader and all, I really hope Geoff and I can win the elimination challenge!
DJ: I really screwed up today and I feel bad for letting my team down. It should be me tonight but with this new twist anyone could be going home. I'm going to try my best to stay, though.
"Welcome Blue team to the elimination area!" announced Chris as he stood in front of Geoff, Bridgette, DJ and Duncan. "So a new change this season will be that the voting off a teammate thing is over and done, now you will each have to prove why you deserve to stay here and not come in last in the elimination challenge. You will each be standing on these four tiny pedestals over there in the lake," Chris motioned over to the lake. "…and you will have to stay on as long as you can. The first person to fall into the water will be eliminated and out of the game."
The four members of the blue team swam to their pedestals and got comfortable although the pedestals were extremely small so any sudden movements could have them lose their balance.
"The game has begun!" exclaimed Chris, "Oh also, the other campers are coming now to watch you guys. Good luck!"
The other teams got onto the dock to watch the battle. Most of them cheered the Blue team on while others tried to make certain people fall.
"Duncan, you suck! Just quit now and fall off!" screamed Courtney. Gwen and Leshawna then shoved Courtney off the dock and into the freezing, cold water. "Ah! You two! I will get you for this!" said Courtney as she got out, shivering and ran back to the Yellow team cabin to get a towel.
After 20 minutes all four members of the Blue team were still standing but a couple were having difficulty balancing on the tiny platform. Geoff was wobbling and so was DJ. Duncan and Bridgette seemed the most comfortable and were barely ever uncomfortable.
"You know what guys, I think I'm out. I'm the one that lost the challenge for us today and I would hate to see any of you leave because of me," DJ said as he waved to everyone on the dock and jumped off his pedestal.
"And that's it, DJ loses. The rest of you are safe and can head back to your cabins," said Chris as he got the Boat of Losers to pick up DJ out of the water and away from Camp Wawanakwa.
"Bye DJ! We'll miss you!" said Bridgette teary-eyed as she, Geoff and Duncan waved good-bye.
"Well, there we have it. Our first victim! Come back next time for our next awesome challenge and see which team will lose and who will be the next camper sent off on the Boat of Losers on Total Drama Island 2!" exclaimed Chris.
Who will be the next camper eliminated? How will the Blue team fair with one player short? Can Harold show he is tougher than he looks? Will Courtney get revenge on Gwen and Leshawna for pushing her into the lake? Will Eva really kill someone in their sleep? And can Trent sleep at night knowing this? Find out next time!
