"Don't worry you guys, we may have lost DJ last night but we can still do this!" said Geoff trying to cheer up his team.
"But we're the only team of 3 now! We're going to have such a disadvantage at the next challenge," said Bridgette clearly worried.
"Nah, if anything we'll be stronger now that we're less. Now, let's go kick some ass today!" said Duncan confidently as he, Geoff and Bridgette high-fived.
Everyone gathered into the mess hall as usual for breakfast when they all noticed a small table at the front filled with delicious breakfast foods.
"Woah! Who's that for?" Trent said as he and all the campers stared anxiously.
"Holy mama! Pancakes, eggs, french toast!" exclaimed Owen as he ran over to the small table.
"Hold it, Owen!" said Chris as he appeared in the room. "That table of delicacies belongs to the Purple team, hence their reward for winning yesterday's challenge. The rest of you can go see Chef over there and I'm sure he has something… um, edible, for you," said Chris with an uncertain look.
Leshawna, Noah, Harold and Gwen sat down and enjoyed their breakfast while everyone else stood in line to get their breakfast, which looked gross.
"Sadie, their food looks amazing, and ours looks well, not," said Katie sadly.
"Ugh, this is totally unfair! I deserve to be eating french toast!" said Courtney annoyed as she watched Gwen chowing down in disgust.
"Duncan! Come try some of this," Gwen said as she called over to her boyfriend.
"Sorry, hun, I'm not going to do that," replied Duncan. "It wouldn't be fair to my teammates."
"Suit yourself!" Gwen responded as she continued to devour her breakfast.
"Please, Harold! Just one strip of bacon! I beg of you!" pleaded Owen. Harold then took a strip of bacon and flung it in the air and Owen chased after it. Leshawna and Noah laughed at this.
(confessional)
Harold: Yes, I got Leshawna to laugh! Maybe being more of a 'bad boy' will get her to be like me more!
The teams finished breakfast then all gathered over to a field where they saw 19 booths set up forming a large circle. Each booth was painted a color (green, red, blue, purple and yellow) and had a buzzer on it. In the center of the circle was a miniature catapult and alongside it was a bucket filled with water balloons.
"Welcome teams to your next challenge!" announced Chris charismatically.
"What is all this for?" asked Tyler confused.
"Yeah, I don't get it," Lindsay added.
"Don't you see? It's a game show… of some kind," said Courtney as she inspected the catapult nervously.
"Yes, Courtney, you're somewhat correct," said Chris. "Today's challenge is called Trivia-thon. You will each be standing behind one of your team color booths. I will be asking trivia questions in which you will try to answer correctly using your buzzers." Instantly, Izzy ran over and pressed a buzzer.
"Yes, Izzy, like that," Chris muttered.
"If you are the first to answer the question correctly, you will be able to eliminate another contestant using this awesome catapult that shoots water balloons at your target. If you get hit, you're out of the game. The first team to have all their team members eliminated will be meeting tonight at the elimination area where one of you will be leaving the island. The rest of the teams will then continue to see which player is left standing and wins the reward for their team! Everyone got it? Good!"
Everyone went to their assigned booths and stood nervously as the saw the catapult in front of them.
"Good luck, yellow team!" said Sadie happily.
"Just leave it to me! I'm obviously the only one in this game with any brains!" said Courtney as she got many icy stares from every other team.
"Noah, I'm counting on you to win this for us!" said Gwen as she looked at Noah.
"Trust me, if anyone knows trivia, it's me," replied Noah with a determined look on his face.
"Alright, question #1! Name a fruit with the letter M!" said Chris.
"What kind of question is that?" asked Courtney angrily.
"Sorry Courtney, you need to buzz in to answer," replied Chris.
BUZZ. "Mango!" screamed Bridgette.
"Correctamundo!" said Chris. Alright Bridgette, who will your target be?"
"Yeah! Go Bridgey Bear!" screamed Geoff as he and Duncan cheered.
Bridgette stood in the center and looked around at everyone and shot straight for Alejandro.
"That's for making me kiss a pole last season!" exclaimed Bridgette as she returned to her seat.
"Alejandro, you're out," said Chris. "Next question, what is the capital of Egypt?"
BUZZ. "Cairo!" said Courtney just before Noah got to his buzzer. She walked up to the catapult, put in a balloon and hit Gwen.
"Ha! That's for pushing me into the lake, gothie!" exclaimed Courtney.
"Next question," said Chris, "name 3 oceans."
BUZZ. "Atlantic, Pacific and Indian," replied Noah quickly. He eliminated Courtney, his main competition.
"Way to go, Noah!" said Gwen as she watched Courtney get hit by the water balloon.
"Next question, name a french fashion designer," said Chris.
BUZZ. "Oh! Louis Vuitton!" exclaimed Lindsay. She then took out Heather. Everyone cheered.
"Next question, how many planets are there?"
BUZZ. "There are 8 planets!" said Trent who surprised everyone. Trent then eliminated Duncan.
"Next, what is the capital of New York?" said Chris.
BUZZ. "Oh um, I know this, it's that tall green statue, what's it called again?" said Tyler confused.
"Wrong, Tyler! It was Albany…" replied Chris. You're out.
"Aww, man!" groaned Tyler as he grabbed a water balloon and hit himself with it.
"Next question, who is the current President of the United States?" asked Chris.
BUZZ. "Barack Obama. Easy," said Noah. He then hit Justin who began to panic at the water that got in his hair.
"I need a straightener, now!" yelled Justin as he ran back to the cabins.
"Okay… next question! Name a volcano located in Italy."
BUZZ. BUZZ. BUZZ. "I KNOW, I KNOW!" exclaimed Izzy as she jumped around.
"What is it then, Izzy?" replied Chris impatiently.
"The deadly Mount Vesuvius!" said Izzy in a creepy tone.
"That's, actually correct! Who's your victim?" said Chris. Izzy took the catapult and fired at Eva who growled back at her.
"Eva you're out. So that means, the Red team has only member left. Next, we have the Yellow and Blue team with two each, and the Purple and Green teams are holding strong in first with three members each," Chris announced.
Trent began to feel tense as he was the sole member of the Red team in the challenge.
"You can do it, Trent!" screamed Heather.
"For the next question, there can be more than one winner, so think hard. Name a European country beginning with the letter S!" said Chris quickly.
A couple seconds went by before anyone could think of anything.
BUZZ. "Sweden!" said Noah.
BUZZ. "Oh my gosh, Spain!" said Katie happily. She then went to go hug Sadie.
"Anyone else?" asked Chris. "Few more seconds..."
BUZZ. "I got it! Switzerland!" said Trent just in time.
"Yes, way to go Trent!" screamed Heather as she jumped up and down.
"You know, you look really hot today, mamasita," said Alejandro as he checked Heather out.
"Thank you, but I don't need you distracting me right now, okay," replied Heather as she couldn't help but smile.
"Okay, so you three can eliminate three other players left in the game except for each other. Noah, you're up first. He went straight for Izzy. Then Katie took out Harold, and lastly Trent took out Bridgette.
"Looks like the Blue team also has only member left, Geoff. Let's keep going. The next question is: what color would you make if you mixed red with white?" said Chris.
BUZZ. "Got it! It's definitely pink," said Geoff. "I dye my own shirts back home!"
"Yay Geoff! Way to go!" said Bridgette as she cheered. Geoff saw his chance at taking out Trent who was all alone on the Red team and had just taken out Bridgette. Geoff aimed and got him.
"What! Me?" yelled Noah who was soaked.
"Sorry, man. You're just way too smart!" replied Geoff who got back to his seat.
"Looks like another team is down to one member, the Purple team!" said Chris as Leshawna looked extremely nervous.
"Next question, what is a polygon with 6 sides?" said Chris confused as he read his cue card.
No one buzzed in for nearly a minute. "Anyone?" asked Chris impatiently.
"Ugh, it's a hexagon! Idiots!" screamed Courtney.
"Courtney, you're already out! And you didn't buzz in! I'm giving your team a penalty for that so, Katie, you're out," said Chris. That means that the Yellow team also has only one member left, Sadie.
"That is so unfair, Chris! Nobody was going to get it!" said Courtney angrily.
"Shush! Next question! What worldwide event happens every four years and has tons of different events performed by professional athletes?" asked Chris who ran out of breath.
BUZZ. "The Olympics!" said Trent quickly.
"That's correct, Trent!" said Chris. "Who will your target be?"
"Trent! Eliminate a team now! It's our chance to be safe! Do it!" yelled Heather.
"Don't take Sadie out, Trent! Please don't eliminate us!" yelled Katie.
"Oh, and please don't get Geoff out! We've already been to the elimination area!" said Bridgette sadly.
Trent then looked extremely uncomfortable as he knew he would have to make the tough decision of sending one team to elimination. He thought it through and aimed the catapult at Leshawna and fired.
"Leshawna, you're out! Which means the Purple team will be meeting me at the elimination area tonight!" announced Chris.
(confessional)
Trent: Wow… that was insanely stressful. Everyone was watching me and I knew whatever I did I was going to hurt some people's feelings. In the end I chose to hit the Purple team only because they had already won yesterday.
"Everyone else is safe, but we will continue the game to see which team will get reward. Next question, name a Michael Jackson song!"
BUZZ. "THRILLER!" screamed Owen wildly.
"Nice job, Owen!" said Chris. Owen then shot at Trent which eliminated the Red team.
"Next question: which animal kills more people in the wild than any other?"
BUZZ. "It's gotta be the lion!" said Geoff.
"Wrong, Geoff! You're out and that means the Blue team is gone," exclaimed Chris. "Any other answers?"
BUZZ. "It's the gorilla!" said Owen enthusiastically. "Nope Owen, you're wrong. So you're out too. Any of you ladies have an idea?" asked Chris.
Lindsay and Sadie just stared without an answer.
"Fine, I'll give you a new question. The answer was hippopotamus by the way. This is for the win! Good luck, ladies," announced Chris.
"Aww, hippos are so cute!" squealed Lindsay.
"You can do it, Sadie!" screamed Courtney and Katie.
"Go babe!" yelled Tyler.
"The final question is: Name your best friend!" said Chris.
BUZZ!
The two girls buzzed at the exact same time as Chris finished the question and yelled simultaneously, "KATIE!" from Sadie and "BETH!" from Lindsay.
Everyone cheered as Chris stood confused at how fast the two girls responded. He could not tell who was quicker, nor could Chef.
"I guess we have a tie for first place then! Congratulations to the Yellow team and the Green team! Both of you will be receiving a reward!" announced Chris.
Alejandro, Courtney and Katie ran to Sadie and hugged her multiple times while Tyler ran to Lindsay and kissed her passionately while everyone stood and smiled.
(confessional)
Gwen: Man, this sucks! I can't believe one of us is leaving! I really hope it isn't me or Leshawna though.
Leshawna: I feel bad and all that I didn't contribute to this challenge, it's just that I'm not the trivia kind of girl. It doesn't matter because I will do whatever it takes to come back from the elimination challenge.
Noah: I obviously deserve to stay here the most since I got a lot of questions right in this challenge. Seriously, the other three got a grand total of zero. If I leave tonight, they're screwed.
Harold: I want to stay so I can prove to Leshawna that I am tough! I love my Leshawna, but I don't think she loves me, yet that is.
The Purple team made their way down to the elimination area where Chris was anxiously waiting.
"Welcome Purple team, or shall I say, the losers of today!" giggled Chris. "So, ready for your elimination challenge? Here it is!"
Chef walked up to each of the four teens and handed each of them a live worm.
"Yuck!" screamed Leshawna as she threw it on the ground.
"All you have to do is eat you worm. The last person left who hasn't swallowed down their worm will be leaving Total Drama Island 2, tonight," announced Chris. "You may begin, now!"
Gwen looked at her worm and started to shake. Noah decided to give it a shot and threw the worm in his mouth but quickly spat it back out in his hands. He turned around and puked onto the floor. As Harold saw this he began to feel sick and ran to the lake where he threw up in the water. Leshawna had to grab her worm from the ground and stuck it in her mouth and began to chew aggressively. Gwen began to feel nauseous at the sight of this.
"I'm done!" yelled Leshawna.
"Congratulations, Leshawna, you'll be moving on! Who wants to join her?" Chris said laughing.
Gwen decided to run to the lake, swallowed some water and got the worm down as well. "Done!"
"Nice job, ladies! Gwen, you're safe."
It was down to Harold and Noah, not surprisingly. Noah was having trouble swallowing the worm and Harold continued to barf every time he put it in his mouth.
"Come on, Harold! It's easy! Let's go!" yelled Leshawna.
Harold tried one more time as he heard Leshawna's encouragement but spat the worm back out and spit flowed onto his shirt and face. He sat in disappointment.
"I'm….finished," said Noah quietly as he got up from the floor and ran to the kitchen to get something to drink.
"That's the end of the elimination challenge! Sorry Harold, but you couldn't man up and that means you'll be leaving the island tonight," said Chris.
"I'm sorry I couldn't prove myself to you, Leshawna. I guess that means we'll never be together then," said Harold sadly.
"Prove yourself? Harold, I like you the way you are. You don't need to prove yourself to me. Now come here and give Leshawna a big hug!" said Leshawna sweetly as she and Harold hugged.
Harold let out a tear, as did Leshawna.
"I'll miss you, my dear," he said as he got onto the Boat of Losers and left.
Leshawna and Gwen waved goodbye until he could no longer be seen.
"Wow, what a touching conclusion!" laughed Chris. "What will tomorrow bring us? Who will win and who will lose? Stay tuned next time for an all new Total Drama Island 2!"
