Who Can You Team?
"Last time on Total Drama Island, the campers were put through a heat-endurance test! They were forced to spend the entire day in the un-air conditioned mess hall, where temperatures were quite high. Some cracked, some kicked, and some just fell asleep! In the end, Bridgette won, sending Trent and Beth off the island. It's time for the merge, people! Today, the producers thought that we should do some team-building activities, between the campers with the most random partners ever! Who will go next on Total. Drama. Island?!" Chris announces.
"Heather, who do you think's gonna win?" Bridgette asked the person in the bed next to hers. Heather had to think to answer this question, considering she thought that everyone was a threat, and had their own set of skills that could be used to win.
"Honestly, it's anyone's game. Like, Noah's really smart, and stuff, so he's probably strategizing right now. But also, everyone has flaws. Once again, Noah's really smart, but he's lacking on the physical side." Heather answered, with thought. Bridgette never thought about it this way, considering she had the mindset of believing that everyone could win.
In the morning, all of the campers were woken up by loud alarm clocks. Geoff and Duncan didn't have these alarm clocks however; considering they had immunity for the episode, they just slept in, and avoided the challenge.
"Oh my gosh, someone please turn off that racket!" Katie screamed at nobody in particular. All of the campers, one by one, were woken up by the alarm clocks, which they couldn't turn off. They all groaned in annoyance, before hustling outside, trying to escape the annoying ringing sound.
When the campers arrived outside, Chris and Chef were waiting for them, with evil smirks plastered on their faces. Suddenly, the campers glanced at one another, realizing that it was time for a challenge.
"Well! I'm certain that I told you a few days ago that the merge was here! All teams are officially dissolved!" Chris announced. All of the campers cheered due to the fact that they were close to the end, but then grunted when they realized they weren't on teams anymore.
"Today's challenge will be for team-building! Considering the merge is here, it might not be a bad idea for you guys to get acquainted with one another! Each of you will be assigned partners in the following order, which I will say!
Noah, you'll be with Katie!
Dawn, you'll be with Izzy!
Cody, you'll be with Heather!
Bridgette, you'll be with Harold!
DJ, you'll be with Eva!
Finally, B, you'll be with Lindsay!" Chris announced the partners and the challenges. The campers had mixed feelings on their partners. Noah had his guard up, knowing of Katie's previous orchestrated eliminations, while Lindsay was worried on what B might think of her intelligence. All in all, it was quite a random mix of campers, as Chris led each of them down to the docks.
The campers and their partners were now located in front of the same cliff they had to jump off of in the first episode. All of them had painful memories of them falling implanted into their brains, so they took a few steps away from the edge. Meanwhile, Chris was instructing them on the challenge itself.
"From the looks on your faces, I'm guessing you remembered your first challenge! Today's will be a bit different, though. Instead of jumping off of the cliff, you or your partner has to stand near the edge. Then, they have to guide the other person, who is blindfolded, down the hill safely, throughout the dangerous obstacle course Chef so kindly made. You have ten minutes to decide whose going to say, and whose going to move." Chris explained, leaving the campers to disperse into their partners. The obstacle course below was filled with spikes, barbed wire, and many other deadly instruments of torture.
"Noah, since you're clearly the smarter one out of both of us, I think you should tell me where to go. You'd beat me at that in a land slide!" Katie said sweetly. However, both of them knew that she was faking her kindness, and was probably just trying to get on Noah's good side.
"Fine. I agree, considering I don't have much physical ability." Noah replied, before setting on a position on the edge of the cliff.
"Heather, I'm not that good with directions. Once, I got lost in the mall, because I couldn't read the map the right way…" Cody said sheepishly. However, Heather nodded, before getting next to Noah at the teller position. Cody went next to Katie at the starting line for the movers.
"This is how it's gonna work, Bass. I'm gonna be the one whose going to run. You are going to tell me where to go. Got it?" Eva explained, with a fist near DJ's face up for emphasis. DJ retreated down to the ground, nodding in fierce agreement. Honestly, he was scared of Eva.
"Izzy, Mother Nature is telling me that you should be the one to move, and I should be the one to tell you where to go."
"Okay! Mother Nature knows all, right? I totally understand! Like, one time, I was skiing down a hill, but then there was this avalanche, oh gosh, that was so fun! So, Mother Nature made a tree fall down and told me where to go, and I got out without a single scratch! Isn't that cool?" Izzy answered Dawn with a story. Dawn nodded, before taking place at the teller line, while Izzy moved to the starting line.
"Harol-"
"Bridgette, you do the moving. Do you really think I can do anything with these flabby arms?" Harold cut her off, and then squished his arms, showing the lack of muscle. Bridgette nodded, before going to the starting position.
All of the movers put on their blindfolds, while all of the tellers got ready. Chris was ready to announce the start of the race.
"On your ready, get set, go!" Chris yelled on his megaphone. Soon, commands were being thrown out left and right, while the movers tried to keep up.
"Izzy, move five paces straight, and then move three paces to the left!" Dawn commanded. The blindfolded redhead obeyed, narrowly dodging some spikes, while Dawn saw the other campers going ahead.
"Bridgette. Go backwards until I tell you to stop." Harold instructed the odd commands. Bridgette obeyed however, going towards the tellers instead of moving ahead of the race. Harold smirked at this. Bridgette kept on going until she crossed the teller line, and fell off of the cliff!
"Ah" Bridgette screamed in horror as she felt herself falling. Then, her adrenaline kicked in, and she got into a diving position. There, she elegantly landed in the water, emerging as gracefully as a mermaid. However, due to her falling off of the cliff, her team consisting of her and Harold was now disqualified from the challenge.
"Harold! What was that for?!" Bridgette shouted up to the top of the cliff. Harold pretended not to hear her, however, and cackled to himself silently. He would throw the challenge for their team, and then get one of the most-liked contestants, Bridgette, off of the island. It was brilliant! Or, at least to Harold.
"Harold, why'd you do that?" Noah asked, angry at the fact that he just threw the challenge for himself and Bridgette. Soon, the rest of the tellers surrounded him, which was something Harold did not account for.
"That's not right, Harold. You're lucky this is the reward part of the challenge, otherwise you'd be screwed tonight." Heather stated the obvious. The rest of the tellers nodded in agreement, before picking the geek up. Then, they threw him off the cliff like he did with Bridgette.
However, since the tellers were busy, the movers were having trouble with the challenge! Cody ended up tripping onto a jellyfish pool, injuring him severely. Meanwhile, Lindsay tripped over her high heels into a tree, causing her to get knocked out. Eva tripped over some rocks, injuring her leg. Izzy, through some unknown means, was the only one to complete the obstacle course.
"And we have a winner! Dawn and Izzy win the advantage challenge!" Chris boomed over his megaphone. The tellers were shocked as they turned to see Izzy dancing in joy. Dawn was especially happy, proud that Izzy managed to make it through the course without getting her help.
After the reward challenge, the campers were now looking at three tables, comprised with trays of disgusting food on each of them. Noah and Katie looked at each other in disgust, but not just because of the food.
"You know, your actions aren't a secret. All of us know how many people you tried to get eliminated on this island. Let's see…Owen, which you did, Trent, you tried to, Ezekiel, you eliminated, and you tried to eliminate Gwen, but she lost the tiebreaker against Izzy." Noah smirked while he said this, seeing the look of shock on Katie's face. However, the evil girl kept her cool, before retaliating.
"Fine. That's still not as obvious as your alliance with Cody, Izzy, Eva, Dawn, and B. Let's see, you got rid of Justin, Tyler, Courtney, and you saved Izzy from elimination by getting rid of Gwen."
"We wouldn't have had to get rid of her had you not portrayed her as a vicious person! Either way, the score is still tied, but my alliance is 6 people. All 6 of us got rid of 4 people, while you did your four people all on your own. Seriously, do you honestly believe you can take on all six of us?" Noah retorted, leaving Katie and him in shock.
"It's time for the elimination part of the challenge! Each of you will have to decide on who will feed, and who will eat. Instead of just feeding normally, however, you have to feed them by using your mouths! No, you don't have to make any contact, you just have to grab the end of the spoon with your mouth, and move it towards the eater's mouth. For Dawn and Izzy, they can use their hands, due to them winning the reward challenge! Ready? Go!" Chris announced, before starting the challenge.
Noah immediately grabbed the spoon with his mouth, and began to feed Katie, who was unprepared for the sudden attack of food. Clumps of food were dropped on the floor, while Katie looked away, embarrassed.
"Uh, B, can you open up a bit more?" Lindsay asked B with muffled noises due to the spoon in her mouth. The silent genius opened a bit wider, as she twisted and maneuvered the spoon into B's mouth. Soon, Lindsay began to pick up the pace, increasing her and B's chances of winning the individual challenges.
Dawn and Izzy were having a lot of ease with the challenge. Dawn fed Izzy with the spoon, as the redhead ate it contentedly. One by one, scoops of mashed potatoes were fed to Izzy by Dawn holding the spoon, both neatly and quickly. The two figured that they had the challenge in the bag.
Bridgette, however, refused to feed Harold due to what he had done to her at the cliff challenge. Harold huffed in annoyance, before seeing Dawn and Izzy doing quite well with the challenge. Seeing this, he crawled quickly towards their table, before going under it. Dawn and Izzy didn't see him.
The next thing Harold did was he punched the table on its underside. This caused the table to shake, and the tray to drop on to the floor, shocking both Izzy and Dawn. The food splattered on the ground, spreading all over the floor, making it uneatable. Harold laughed to himself on the inside, realizing that he had just disqualified Dawn and Izzy from the challenge.
Bridgette was too busy waiting for Harold, who was coming back from Dawn and Izzy's table. Harold smirked to himself, before getting Bridgette to feed him the food. However, Cody and Heather were already done, working quickly despite the mouth spoon handicap.
"All right! The challenge is over. Cody and Heather win, meaning they have invincibility from voting today! Stop everything people! I'll see you all tonight at the campfire!"
The fourteen remaining campers were sitting on the log stumps, at the campfire ceremony. Duncan, Geoff, Cody, and Heather all had invincibility, and were relaxed, considering that they couldn't be voted for.
"All right campers. You all know the drill. Vote for the person you think should get kicked off of Total Drama. You can't vote off Duncan, Geoff, Cody, or Heather. Let's get to it, campers!" Chris announced, before all of the campers went to the confessionals to vote.
Confessional
Noah: Well, I really want to vote for you, but I can't, at least not yet. Don't worry, though, you're still high on my hit-list. I'm voting for the person I think is too kind right now…nothing personal, though.
Katie: You know what? I'm gonna jump the gun and vote for you. It won't make a difference though; everyone still likes you, at least somewhat.
B: -holds up a picture of Eva with a red X drawn on it, and then holds picture of DJ, signifying why-
DJ: Eva's scary. I don't wanna go up against that, nor do I wanna anger that. Sorry, girl.
Heather: That was a really bad move, Harold. I hope you get off tonight, you scoundrel.
Bridgette: Ugh! I vote off Harold! He's such a…
Harold: Time to go. Everyone likes you too much. I can't have that right now, and if it were a popularity contest, I'd lose in a heartbeat right now.
"Welcome campers, to the first campfire ceremony of the merge! I gotta say, not a lot of teambuilding out there! Harold…getting your partner to jump off a cliff? Not cool, man." Chris explained, while all of the campers groaned in annoyance. They just wanted to get the results.
"Anyways, you guys voted. The people who got invincibility will receive the first marshmallows. That means…
Duncan!
Geoff!
Cody!
Heather!
Now for the real results. The next people to be safe until next time are…
Bridgette!
Dawn!
B!
Katie!
DJ!" Chris announced, tossing marshmallows to all of the aforementioned people. They all took the delicious treat graciously, and proceeded to eat them, savoring the taste. Then, Chris turned to the four remaining campers; Noah, Eva, Lindsay, and Harold.
"Campers, all of you got at least 1 vote today, though some are more confusing than others. I mean, Lindsay? Really? Anyways, the next camper to get a marshmallow is safe. That would be…

Eva!" Chris said, tossing the marshmallow to the female bully. She took it with a smirk on her face, and then turned to her fellow cast-mates with a death glare to whoever voted for her.
"The next person not leaving tonight is…

Noah!" Chris announced, letting the High IQ release a sigh of relief. On his way to get his marshmallow, he glared at Katie, who was smirking at him. Noah walked to stand with the other safe campers, looking at the Final Two, which was Harold and Lindsay.
Lindsay crossed her fingers, while Harold was biting his nails nervously. Chris enjoyed the suspense the episode was giving off, before announcing the result.
"Harold, Lindsay. You two are in the bottom two for tonight. Harold, you caused Bridgette to fall off the cliff, and also caused Dawn and Izzy to lose the elimination challenge. Lindsay, you really didn't do anything, except help B. Weird, huh? Anyways, the final marshmallow of the night goes to…

Harold! Lindsay, you're eliminated from Total Drama Island!" Chris announced, while everyone gasped in shock. Harold went up to eat his marshmallow tauntingly at the other campers, knowing that he had just dodged a bullet.
Lindsay looked down in shame, looking sad, before walking to the Dock of Shame. However, before she left, B ran up to her suddenly, and hugged her. Lindsay returned the hug, happy that she made friends with one of the contestants.
"Well, bye everyone! I hope you all get good luck! That's you, Nora, Corie, Heatha, Brenda, Donna, B, Elva, Isaiah, CJ, Hirold, Kader, Darryl, and Gary!" Lindsay waved goodbye, saying everyone's name wrong except for B. The silent genius smiled at this, before joining the other campers in waving goodbye to Lindsay. All of them dispersed, sad that one of their friendliest contestants was voted off.

AN: Aww, poor Lindsay. At least she got to be friends with her intelligence opposite, B! This chapter was really hard to write about, which is why it took so long to come out.
Also, as I'm reading out my story from the beginning, I've realized something; I've written with too many villains. I mean, look, there's Katie, Heather, Tyler, Trent, and now Harold. This may seem lazy, but, in the sequel, yes you read that correctly, the sequel, Trent, Harold, and Heather will have turned good. This is due to the fact that I want to focus on two main villains, instead of just picking out villains willy-nilly.
Eliminated: Sadie, Owen, Justin, Tyler, Leshawna, Courtney, Gwen, Trent, Beth, Lindsay
Remaining:
Merge: Noah, Cody, Heather, Bridgette, Dawn, B, Eva, Izzy, DJ, Harold, Katie, Duncan, Geoff
