The camera shows the aerial view of the Forgotten Island in midday, before panning down until it showed the docks where the two hosts waited. Valnoir and Blaineley gave their smiles to the camera as they started off the show. "Welcome back to Total Drama Forgotten Island!" The male host started.
"Last episode, our twenty campers have been introduced." Blaineley said. "We've got a cast of diverse and very weird personalities." She rolled her eyes.
"But that's what will make this show a lively one," Valnoir interjected. "because the campers who were in the same yacht became instant teammates. The black yacht campers are known as the Black Knights while the ones in the white yacht are the White Stallions."
"And with that, the first challenge was given." Blaineley chimed in. "Find the cabin before the other team. Simple as that."
"But though it is simple, the stakes are high." Valnoir gave a sadistic grin. "Because the losing team will face elimination tonight!" He cackled.
"Jeez, you laugh like that?" Blaineley cringed.
"Get used to it." Valnoir chuckled.
"Whatever." Blaineley rolled her eyes. "Anyway, which team will win this challenge and which one will face elimination?"
"Will teamwork see them through or will individual skills do it for them?" Valnoir added.
"Find out now on Total..." Blaineley started.
"Drama..." Valnoir chimed in with a grin.
"Forgotten Island!" They finished together.
(White Stallions)
The team moved quickly through the woods with Quincey, Abby, and Gabriella in the lead. Everyone else trailed behind with Jeanette and Alysson bringing up the rear.
"We should find a clearing and scan the area from there." Jeanette called out to the front. "We do not know how far these woods go."
"By the looks of it, we are already at the thick of it." Quincey called out to her. "The cabin should be further ahead."
"So why did you wear a dress for this show?" Alysson asked Jeanette.
"It's to represent my high social status of course." Jeanette scoffed. "Not to mention my taste in fashion."
"Oh, really?" Alysson tilted his head.
"And as for you, are you supposed to be a cartoon character?" Jeanette looked him up and down. "However, those clothes do seem functional."
"I like wearing it." Alysson shrugged. "Pokemon is kinda my thing. Guys like girls who dress up as a character from their favorite game." He winked after saying that.
"The appeal is fine, but you do not look that physically fit." Jeanette said bluntly.
"I'll make it work." Alysson pouted.
"And I may find a use for you, yet." Jeanette said dismissively as she ran on ahead of him. Alysson glared after her but said nothing.
~Confessional~
Alysson: She thinks she can just size up my worth just like that? Is that how rich and snobby girls are like? Well, we'll see just how powerful and mighty she'll be after I woo all the guys in my team! *he smirks confidently*
Jeanette: Alysson is the kind of girl that wants to get the boys' attention so that she'll make it far. But as a challenge strategist, I refuse to allow such a freeloader on my team. If she cannot prove her worth in challenges then I have no use for her. And did I mention that pokemon fashion is so last year ago?
~End Confessional~
Daniel ran alongside Nymeria and Keith, with his crow soaring high above him to scout ahead. Nymeria curiously looked up at the black bird.
"So what's its name?" Nymeria asked Daniel while pointing up at the bird. The latter did not respond nor look her way. Keith noticed this and narrowed his eyes suspiciously.
"What if he's a government spy?" He suddenly blurted out so they can both hear him. This got Daniel's attention as he looked back with a raised eyebrow but still said nothing. Nymeria gasped.
"A teenage boy!? How can they do this!?" The girl frowned deeply.
"The government does a lot of inhumane acts." Keith shook his head solemnly. "They probably subjected him to an experiment where his soul is bind to that crow." He guessed.
Daniel looked at both of them as if they were crazy and ran ahead, his crow making a sound before dropping down to perch on his shoulder again.
"What should we do?" Nymeria whispered to Keith.
"Normally I'd subdue him and run like hell afterwards while wearing a tin foil hat, but the only way to get him off our case is to vote him out." Keith decided.
"Then we'll do that! For his sake too." Nymeria grinned.
"Not so loud! He might hear and call the CIA on us." Keith widened his eyes at her anxiously. Nymeria nodded quickly while making a zipped up lips motion.
~Confessional~
Keith: *is wearing a tin foil hat* I swear that Daniel is a government spy! He's here to spy on me because I'm close to uncovering their secrets and expose them for what they really are! But he won't get me, and hopefully Nymeria will be smart enough to vote him out at elimination too. Maybe I can try to throw this challenge so we can lose.
Nymeria: I wonder what it's like to be experimented upon by the government. I watch movies that show what they do to you but it's all from different perspectives. Maybe I could ask Daniel what it feels like.
~End Confessional~
Beatrice tried to keep up with Jackie, who ran ahead of her to see where they were headed.
"Jackie? Could you slow down?" Beatrice asked softly but the jester gave no response. Beatrice tried to see his face and she saw him being completely serious, a side she has not seen before. "Jackie?"
"Beatrice, hurry up." Jackie called out to her as he glanced back. "We must not lose on our first challenge." He urged.
"I'll try." She said as she ran a bit faster. Jackie sighed in annoyance and slowed down so she could catch up to him.
"Can't you run any faster? We're going to lose." The jester said. "Look, I'll just carry you." Without waiting for an answer, he swooped her off her feet and began running again with her in his arms.
"Waahh!" Beatrice exclaimed as she looked up and saw Jackie carrying her bridal style. "What are you doing!?"
"We need to hurry up." Jackie said simply and seriously, completely unlike his attitude back on the yacht. "If you fall behind, they'll blame you for it and vote you off."
"Well that's true." Beatrice conceded. "But only this one time." She stated.
"We'll see." Jackie answered before focusing on the path ahead.
Quincey stopped the moment he reached a clearing in the woods. Abby and Gabriella, the two close behind him, stopped as well and looked around.
"This is a problem." Gabriella frowned. "There's no sign of it anywhere."
"Do we risk splitting the team?" Abby asked. "It could help us cover more ground."
"I can agree to that." Quincey nodded. Soon, everyone on the team had caught up.
"Why did we stop?" Jackie asked. "The other team are still on the move!"
"I believe we need to come up with a strategy." Jeanette placed a hand on her chin in thought.
"We already did." Abby interjected. "We're going to split the team into smaller groups."
"Oh?" Jeanette narrowed her eyes at Abby, clearly irritated by her.
"I will go alone along this path." Quincey decided as he pointed down a path that looked jagged and unsafe.
"Really? Abby and I can accompany you." Gabriella offered.
"I prefer working alone." Quincey said firmly.
"Hey, this is still a team effort-" Abby tried to say but Quincey had already took off down the path on his own. "Fine. Whatever." She rolled her eyes. "Gabriella and Nymeria, you're both with me." She said as she pointed at the two girls before heading down another path.
"Yay! Adventure!" Nymeria cheered as she followed them.
"I cannot believe they just did that without my consent." Jeanette huffed.
"Beatrice and I will go down this path." Jackie said then started sprinting down a much clearer path, still carrying Beatrice in his arms.
"Then that leaves me with the rest of you." Jeanette turned around to see only Keith and Alysson there. "Hold on, where is Daniel?"
"I saw him sneak away deeper into the woods." Keith answered while giving an anxious glance at the trees. "Maybe to report in our situation to his superior."
"Can we just move on already?" Alysson sighed as he went down the last path away from the clearing.
"Yes but I'll be leading us through." Jeanette insisted as she hurriedly went in front of Alysson and took the lead.
~End Confessional~
Jackie: I really don't like losing. Not that I'm a bad loser or anything but I just get this urge that I have to try to win no matter what. I gotta push my body to its limits in order to win challenges, even though Beatrice's weight is starting to take a toll on me. *he sighs*
Jeanette: Did Abby just tell the team what to do without my consent? How dare she!? And to think that Quincey isn't willing to become a team player shows just how he acts in challenges. Although, I could still use that to my advantage someday. I just need to exert control over the team. I'll start by winning over Alysson and Keith, though by the looks of it it might take some work. Not to mention I'm not very fond of Alysson.
Abby: As the head team manager I'm used to barking out orders like that. That doesn't mean I'm lazy though so don't get the wrong idea! I just had to step in like that so we wouldn't fall behind. Oh shoot, I forgot to tell them what our signal will be when one group finds the cabin! Darn it!
~End Confessional~
(Black Knights)
The team were currently running through a rocky terrain that leads up to the tall hills on the island. Caitlyn and Jamie took the lead while Kazuo and Eliza brought up the rear, clearly still tipsy from the liquor they just drank.
"I still can't believe they drank alcohol back at the yacht." Jamie frowned as she glanced back at them. "They're making a bad example for the younger audience."
"I don't think morals amount to much in this show." Caitlyn shrugged as she paused for a bit to take pictures of the scenery. "Chris is pretty sadistic you know."
"Yeah but we have a new host." Jamie pointed out. "Sure Blaineley is still here but she isn't the main host of the season."
"You're talking about Valnoir, right?" Caitlyn clarified. "To be honest, there isn't much information about him. At least, nothing interesting shows up in the database."
"You have access to a database? I thought you were just a photographer." Jamie tilted her head. Caitlyn smiled innocently.
"I've got friends in the force." The journalist simply said.
"Well I'm from the force and we can be friends." Jamie giggled.
"That would be nice. Having allies is a good thing." Caitlyn smiled.
"I'm also friends with Tom and Silvia so we're a pretty big group now." Jamie added.
"Not bad. I think I'll stick with you guys." Caitlyn said as they heard the sounds of a riverbank. "Let's follow the river. Maybe the cabin is along the riverbank." She suggested. Jamie nodded and they started to go along the riverbank.
~Confessional~
Caitlyn: I can have as many allies as I want just so long as I don't get found out. If I can have multiple alliances, then I'm basically safe for the entire first half of the season. I think I can get the others to be in an alliance with me because of my great persuasion skills. *she smirks proudly*
~End Confessional~
Antoine ran faster to keep up with Gabriel who was running alongside Tom. Gabriel saw this and rolled his eyes.
"Trivia maniac incoming..." He sighed.
"Hey guys! Wanna know a cool fact about rivers?" Antoine smirked at them.
"No so go away..." Gabriel grumbled.
"I'm not really interested either." Tom answered. "I'm more interested in finding out why a newbie host is the main host and now the glorious Blaineley." He clenched his fist.
"Come on, someone has to inject knowledge into your dumb brains." Antoine insisted.
"Hey, I'm not dumb." Tom protested.
"Don't bother with him..." Gabriel told him. "Just ignore him and keep running..." He said as he ran ahead of them.
"You're just avoiding me because you're not as smart as I am!" Antoine called out arrogantly. "Can you believe that guy?" He turned towards Tom.
"I can't even believe you." Tom rolled his eyes as he ran ahead as well. Antoine grumbled in annoyance and just trailed behind them.
Silvia saw all this happen and thought to herself while holding her helmet in her hands. Her train of thought was interrupted when Winona came up to her with a smile.
"Hey there." The fashionista greeted.
"Oh, hi there." Silvia greeted back with a smile.
"I heard you made quite the entrance back there, huh?" Winona giggled as she held out her hand. "I'm Winona, but I think you already know that since I was introduced third to the last. I can tell we're gonna be fast friends!" Silvia reached out and shook her hand.
"I'm Silvia. I'm a cosplayer and resident nerd." The stormtrooper introduced. "And yeah, I can see us become friends. We did leave them breathless with our entrances."
"So what do you think of our teammates right now?" Winona asked her as she motioned towards their team.
"I can tell that those two back there don't care much about the challenge." Silvia glanced back at Eliza and Kazuo, who were struggling to keep up because of their tipsy state. "And nobody seems to like Antoine very much."
"I noticed that too." Winona chirped. "Do you think we should vote him out?"
"Well he may be annoying but he isn't a slouch." Silvia shrugged. "We'll just have to see."
~Confessional~
Silvia: Even though Antoine basically drew himself a big target on his back for his attitude, I don't like letting my emotions judge my decisions too much. I want to be the team player that will vote out the weakest links only. That way, our team can get stronger and stronger. Winona doesn't seem weak despite the fact she's wearing a cocktail dress outdoors so I believe she'll be a good investment.
Winona: It's only day one and I've made two friends already! This is so amazing! I was kinda hoping to befriend everyone on my team but some others may take a little more effort and understanding. I'm talking about Antoine, Kazuo, and Eliza of course.
~End Confessional~
Bringing up the rear were Kazuo, Eliza, and Caleb. Caleb was busy looking around the rocks for something, ignoring the other two.
"Hey Caleb!" Eliza called out to him a bit too loudly. "Eyes on the prize!"
"I'm looking for something here." Caleb grunted as he kept searching.
"Can't that wait? We have a challenge to do!" Eliza scoffed. "If we lose then we're voting you out."
"Don't be too harsh on him, we don't know his story." Kazuo said as he lightly shoved Eliza playfully. "What if we vote...vote out someone who is strong on our team? Isn't that much more fun?"
"It kinda is." Eliza laughed and so did Kazuo. Caleb frowned and tried to go on ahead but Kazuo wrapped one arm around his shoulder to make him stay.
"Don't leave us, Caleb. What if an alien abducts us?" Kazuo said as he looked up at the sky.
"Aliens aren't real." Caleb said bluntly.
"Maybe in another timeline, sure." Kazuo laughed.
"Can I go now?" Caleb sighed. "I'm trying to find more things I can use in the future. Both of you are distracting me."
"But you look like a hobo doing it." Eliza laughed as she also wrapped her arm around the boy's shoulder.
"But it's none of your business." Caleb rolled his eyes.
"Hey, hurry up!" Antoine called out to the three of them. "We found the cabin."
~Confessional~
Eliza: The cabin? Yeah right. Surely this won't be that easy. *she rolls her eyes*
Kazuo: So far the results are good. We brought up the rear and got to bond with Caleb. I wonder what would have happened if we didn't get tipsy and ran alongside those in front. I say that Caleb would be all alone and maybe even side track and go the wrong way. My choice made sure the team stayed together.
Caleb: I'm just here minding my own business and these two just had to ruin it like that? I'm seriously going to get bored in here if I don't find something to work on.
~End Confessional~
Jamie pointed down the riverbank where the cabin can be seen. It was located further down and across where they are, though the only means to get there is through hopping over the small rocks that formed a path towards it. The river current is especially strong in that area, making it dangerous to traverse.
"Only a little bit further, everyone!" Jamie exclaimed to her teammates.
"And if any of us falls in...back to square one..." Gabriel sighed with a shake of his head.
"Don't be so pessimistic." Winona frowned. "We can do it!"
"Says the person wearing stilettos..." Gabriel droned.
"Are you people that dumb to stall here or are we gonna do this?" Antoine crossed his arms impatiently.
"How about you go first then?" Caitlyn retorted. Antoine scoffed and went on ahead of them.
"I will." He said defiantly.
"Will this be alright?" Jamie asked. "Antoine isn't a very good leader by the looks of it."
"Just look at it this way." Eliza said in her tipsy state as she and Kazuo caught up. "If he fails then we can vote him off. Then everyone is happyyyy." She giggles.
"I can get behind that." Jamie shrugged and continued on walking. Silvia looked beside her and saw Tom muttering to himself.
"What's up?" The stormtrooper asked him.
"I'm seriously bothered that Blaineley isn't leading this season." Tom sighed. "How can I compete properly knowing that?"
"Hey, you need to get your game face on." Silvia urged. "Don't let the team see this or else they'll vote you out."
"That wouldn't be so bad. Lost motivation." Tom sighed. "Let's just get this over with." He went on ahead of her. Silvia frowned as she watched him go before Caleb went up to her.
"Did he break up with you? I'm so sorry." Caleb said to her solemnly.
"What? No!" Silvia protested. "I'm taken already. It's just that he's not trying hard to win like the rest of us."
"Well so am I." Caleb shrugged. "Without something to tinker, I get bored easily. Like right now, for instance."
"But we're in the middle of the challenge." Silvia reasoned. "We should be taking this seriously so we can win and not vote someone out."
"I don't know. I feel like voting out either Eliza or Kazuo tonight." Caleb shrugged.
"Why are you even thinking like this? Focus on the challenge!" Silvia encouraged. Kazuo heard their conversation and sped down a bit to match their pace.
"I know you don't like me but ever thought of what would happen if you voted off someone you like rather than someone you hate for a change?" Kazuo suggested.
"Look, if you need me, I'll be minding my own business. Don't worry, I'll cross the rocks too." Caleb said dismissively as he went away from the group and began searching around the rocks again. Silvia just shook her head in disappointment and wore her helmet again.
~Confessional~
Silvia: The team isn't banding together and it sucks! Don't they see that this has to be a team effort? Eliza and Kazuo are probably drunk, Tom is depressed because of the host thing, and Caleb is just minding his own business. And to think it's all happening on day one. *she sighs and taps her fake blaster gun* I can't wait to see what the coming days have for us.
Antoine: I'll show my team just how superior I am by being the first to cross those platform of rocks. You'll see, they'll be in shock and awe after this and maybe they'll even bow down. *he laughs loudly*

(White Stallions)
Abby, Nymeria, and Gabriella wandered down a path that had few trees. They could hear a few birds chirping around them which caught Gabriella's attention for the most part.
"I take it you like birds?" Abby asked her teammate.
"Only some kinds of birds." Gabriella answered. "Usually the ones only found in tropical rain forests."
"So you don't like Daniel's crow?" Nymeria tilted her head.
"Not one bit." Gabriella laughed. "What a weird choice for a pet."
"I wonder why he brought it though." Abby said as she looked down in thought.
"Keith said he might be a government spy." Nymeria said in almost a whisper.
"What was that? A government spy?" Gabriella gave an amused scoff. "I kinda suspected Keith to be a little nuts, but this takes it to a whole new level."
"Yeah, we shouldn't really judge him like that without talking to him first." Abby said. "I learned that when I was in charge of training new recruits for the soccer team. Appearances can be deceiving and so can their personality. You never know when they could be a beast when it comes to playing."
"You look like you're talking about a specific person." Gabriella smirked.
"Oooh, is it a boy? I bet it's a boy!" Nymeria exclaimed giddily. This made Abby blush a bit.
"Um, it's nothing! Can we change the topic now?" Abby said quickly.
"Aw, come on. Tell us." Gabriella insisted.
"Hey we still have a challenge to do." Abby said as she hurried down the path. Gabriella laughed more and Nymeria went to catch up.
~Confessional~
Abby: I didn't want to indulge them in my personal life that quickly. Trust is something that is earned after all. But otherwise, they're both really good people and I'm glad I got to be in the same team as them.
Gabriella: I like Abby and Nymeria. They both like outdoors and are fun to be with! I hope nobody in the team votes them off, or me for that matter. I don't know what Nymeria can do yet but if that little display of parkour back at the yacht proved anything, it's that she can probably do much more when it comes to physical challenges.
~End Confessional~
Jeanette, Keith, and Alysson all walked down the same path that led out of the woods. They could already see much more sunlight in the distance, making them increase their pace a bit.
"You think Daniel told them of my position?" Keith said a bit anxiously.
"I keep telling you that Daniel is not a spy." Jeanette sighed.
"You don't know that!" Keith insisted, looking around in a paranoid state.
"You're cute when you're paranoid." Alysson flirted.
"No I'm not." Keith glared at her. "You're just trying to get close to me because you're in cahoots with Daniel too!" He accused.
"But I'm not!" Alysson said in shock.
"You're putting on this flirtatious facade so you can learn my secrets and then create an 'accident' afterwards. Too bad though because I know all your ways!" Keith exclaimed as he moved away from Alysson.
"Will you both please cease this nonsense this instant!?" Jeanette raised her voice angrily. "We are in the middle of a challenge. If we lose, I am blaming this on both of you." Jeanette sighed.
"I just want to vote out Daniel." Keith grumbled.
"No we're not doing that, because we're gonna win and I'll lead us to that victory." Jeanette said confidently. "So hurry up you two."
Alysson sighed to himself as he watched Keith continue to ignore him and move ahead.
~Confessional~
Alysson: Keith is going to be a but hard to win over. Should I just give up on him and move on to Daniel? Actually, the jester seems nice too. I'll go try my chances with him later on after this.
~End Confessional~
Jackie jogged alongside Beatrice now, panting a bit due to the pain he felt after carrying her that far.
"Are you alright? Sorry to be such a burden." Beatrice apologized shyly. "I'll try to run faster."
"Alright." Was all Jackie said as he stared ahead of him, searching for the cabin. "Just keep your eyes peeled and focus. We might overlook it." He ordered.
"Got it." Beatrice hastily said, still surprised about Jackie's change of behavior.
"It has to be around here somewhere. We're almost at the edge of the forest." Jackie muttered.
"Do you think the others found it already?" Beatrice asked.
"I'm not sure. We should find a way to contact them if we do find it." Jackie looked up at the sky. "Remember, everyone on the team must be present."
"Oh, right." Beatrice realized.
"That Abby thought too quickly. It's dangerous." Jackie shook his head. "But I'll deal with her later. For now, winning is our priority."
"Y-Yes." Beatrice stammered a bit.
After weaving through the forest a bit more, they found themselves at the end of the forest. It was a clear grassy meadow with a single large oak tree towering high. In its shade is a medium sized wooden cabin, and a sign beside it.
"We did it!" Jackie cheered as he rushed over to the cabin with a victorious smile. "This is really it."
"Hmm?" Beatrice went over to the sign and looked at the only symbol embedded on it. It is a men's sign. "But what does this mean?"
"A men's sign?" Jackie also looked confused. "I don't really know. But I do have one guess." Just then, Jeanette, Keith, and Alysson appear from another side of the forest exit.
"Looks like you guys found it first. Well done." Jeanette complimented.
"And no sign of Daniel anywhere." Keith looked around suspiciously. "I knew it." Alysson just rolled his eyes at that remark.
"Now how do we get the others' attentions?" Alysson asked his team.
"Maybe if someone screams loud enough." Beatrice suggested.
Jackie nodded and let out a loud ear splitting shriek that sounded all throughout the forest, causing all the birds to fly up and away in fright.
"AAAAAHHHHHHHH!" The jester yelled at the top of his lungs for a few seconds. The others with him covered their ears and closed their eyes, trying their best to resist the sound. When the was done, they tentatively took their hands off their ears.
"By the stars." Jeanette looked on in surprise. "That was terrifying."
"Maybe you're the government screamer!" Keith accused as his body shook in anxiety.
"Okay that's just weird." Alysson deadpanned.
"It's a thing! I swear!" Keith insisted.
"They better be here soon." Jackie mumbled. He looked towards Beatrice, who gasped and looked away. "What's wrong?"
"N-Nothing." Beatrice answered. Jackie just shrugged and continued looking at the forest, hoping their teammates make it there quickly.
~Confessional~
Beatrice: Jackie is scary when he's that serious. And that shriek, oh God I don't think I can talk to him normally after that. *she frowns*
~End Confessional~
(Black Knights)
The team reached the part of the river where the current was stronger and the platform of rocks can be seen.
"We're here." Caitlyn announced.
"Now we have to cross it." Silvia looked at the path. "Who wants to go first?"
"Me!" Kazuo volunteered.
"Are you sure? Maybe I should help you." Jamie offered.
"Why thank you. I do wanna find out what happens when such a pretty police officer like you helps me out." Kazuo winked at her, making Jamie blush a bit at the comment.
"L-Let's just go." The police officer said. Kazuo nodded and leaped over to the first rock. Everyone gasped as he did, but he surprisingly kept his balance. He leaped over the other one without breaking rhythm. "Hey you're not so bad at this." She leaped at the rock he was previously in and followed him, ready to help him out if ever.
"This is almost too easy." Kazuo thought aloud. "I wonder what would happen if I deliberately fell in."
"Wait, what?" Jamie blinked. She could only stare in shock as Kazuo purposely fell into the river. "Hey!" She leaped to another rock then reached out to grab his arm.
"What is that guy doing?" Caitlyn exclaimed. Luckily, Jamie was able to latched unto Kazuo's arm and used all her strength to make sure he didn't get carried away by the current.
"I'll help!" Eliza slurred a bit as she staggered towards the rocks.
"Why do the tipsy ones always go first?..." Gabriel sighed.
"Coming!" Eliza announced as she started leaping from rock to rock expertly despite her current condition. She grabbed on to Kazuo's other arm and helped Jamie pull him back up to the platform.
"Thanks guys. You're the best." Kazuo said gratefully as he continued on to the other side.
"But what was that all about?" Jamie wondered as she followed him. Eliza was the third person to make it through. "Alright, who's next?" She called out.
"Looks unsafe if Kazuo slipped in." Antoine remarked.
"It looked like he was deliberately doing it." Silvia noticed. "But we can question him later." She carefully made her way across, making sure her armor didn't make her slip.
"I should remove these first." Winona took off her stilettos and began crossing while barefoot.
"Let's get this over with..." Gabriel grunted as he followed suit. They both carefully crossed the path and managed to make it to the other side. They joined Jamie, Kazuo, Silvia, and Eliza there.
"I wonder if there are any interesting things in the water." Caleb said as he began to cross.
"Don't even think about it." Silvia called out. "Just cross and we can win this thing."
"Sheesh. Fine then." Caleb sighed as he kept his focus on where he was going.
~Confessional~
Caleb: Does anyone even care about what I want? I'm leaving them alone so it's only natural they do the same, right?
Jamie: That little stunt Kazuo pulled could have costed us the challenge and put him in danger! What was he thinking? Although, I admit he is kinda cute. *she giggles* But that's beside the point! I'll go confront him about this later. Maybe that will teach him to stray from the goal.
~Confessional~
Meanwhile, over at the cabin where some of the White Stallion members are gathered, they all saw Daniel emerge from the forest.
"There he is! The spy!" Keith exclaimed.
"Can you give it a rest already?" Jeanette sighed. "Come on over and join us." She called out to Daniel. The boy nodded and walked over to where they are, his crow looking at each and every one of them.
"So, what's the crow's name?" Alysson asked as he approached him. "Maybe it's a cool name too, like yours." He added with a wink. Daniel didn't answer him, just stared at him. "Maybe it's personal. I'll just forget about it then." Alysson chuckled awkwardly after a moment of pure silence then walked away.
"I wonder why he won't talk." Beatrice wondered out loud.
"Maybe he's shy too." Jackie guessed.
"Then why don't you go talk to him? You know, like how you did when you saw me at the theater." Beatrice looked at the jester.
"We are in the middle of the challenge. It's time to put on game faces not make jokes and be happy." Jackie said evenly as he looked back at the forest exit.
"Oh, okay." Beatrice frowned a bit. She glanced towards Daniel who seemed to be patting his crow's head. "But that's weird. I don't sense anything at all from him." She muttered to herself. By this time, Abby, Gabriella, and Nymeria arrived.
"Sorry for the wait you guys!" Gabriella waved to the team.
"Did someone bring a megaphone? That was one loud shriek." Abby asked.
"Nope. Just me." Jackie told her simply. Abby blinked at the jester in utter shock.
"Hey look, crow guy is here already." Nymeria was about to go over to Daniel but Keith stopped her.
"Don't go close to him. He might suddenly brainwash you and get all the information I just told you." Keith warned.
"Oh no! That's gonna end up badly." Nymeria covered her mouth.
"Exactly, so just stay away from him until we can find a proper countermeasure." Keith told her. Nymeria nodded with conviction. Jeanette saw all this and just rolled her eyes.
"All that's left is to wait for Quincey." Jeanette said as she looked up at the sky.
~Confessional~
Beatrice: This might come off as weird or something but I have to tell you guys that I can sense people's futures. Like a foresight or something like that. It's faint, but I know it's real and some of my predictions actually happen. Like there was this one guy I sensed was having a rough day and I felt that the despair got stronger. Turns out, a few days afterward I heard that he failed most of his exams and his parents grounded him. Poor guy. But anyway, I sense nothing from Daniel. It's weird. Then again, so is this foresight thing.
Abby: Wait, are you serious? Jackie screamed that loudly? Like for real? That's amazing! He could totally be a cheerleader for our soccer team! I gotta go ask him that later.
~End Confessional~
More than half of the Black Knights had crossed the river. Caleb was halfway across and Caitlyn was right behind him.
"Can you hurry up?" Caitlyn urged the boy.
"Don't rush me. I might fall." Caleb said as he carefully went on to the next rock.
"But you're taking forever." Caitlyn groaned as she went to the rock he was previously in.
"Antoine, Tom, get a move on!" Eliza slurred a bit as she saw the last two of their teammates still standing there on the other side.
"You go first." Antoine insisted. "The smartest people are always last."
"I don't wanna go first." Tom grumbled. "I wanna see that newbie host appear here and tell me to do that. And then I still won't obey." He huffed.
"What?" Antoine looked dumbfounded by that statement.
"You heard me." Tom grumbled again.
"Hey everyone! Tom doesn't wanna do the challenge!" Antoine called out to the rest of the team. By this time, both Caleb and Caitlyn made it across.
"Don't be ridiculous. Tom is determined to win, right?" Jamie looked at the chubby boy.
"I wanna see the newbie host come after me first." Tom said adamantly.
"We don't have time for that! Just get moving! You too, Antoine!" Silvia said in an angry tone. "You guys are going to cost us the challenge."
"Fine. I'll go first. Smart people always go first." Antoine said haughtily as he started going on the platform.
Silvia rolled her eyes at that remark. Caitlyn just sighed to herself. The moment Antoine got on the next platform, his foot slipped and fell off it.
"Ahh! Help me!" He screamed as most of his body was in the water, his hands barely holding on to the rocks. "Someone! Please!" He pleaded.
"How pathetic." Eliza commented before turning away.
"We should help him." Winona frowned. Caitlyn sighed to herself.
"I got it." The journalist said as she went back to go help Antoine.
~Confessional~
Caitlyn: Can we please just vote out these two people? Is that possible? I heard double elimination is a thing.
~End Confessional~
Quincey was weaving through the forest, trying to reach the source of the shriek he heard earlier.
"Perhaps it was not a good idea to stray too far from the others." The man thought aloud. "I wonder where that sound came from." He stopped as he found two paths before him. Both looked clear and lead to a place where they is sunshine. "And the guessing game commences." He said to himself.
The other members of the White Stallions were still waiting for Quincey, some of them getting a bit anxious already.
"What if the government got him!?" Keith panicked, pacing around the edge of the forest clearing.
"Relax, he probably just strayed too far." Abby told him.
"Plus he looks physically capable. I'm sure he's fine." Gabriella added with a shrug.
"But maybe Keith is right, you know." Nymeria thought aloud.
"Not you too." Alysson sighed.
"Maybe I should go search for him." Jackie suggested as he began walking back towards the forest.
"I don't think so." Jeanette shook her head. "If he comes back and you aren't here, then we'll have to wait for you too. Like Gabriella said, he's physically adept. He'll be fine." She stated confidently.
"If he didn't go alone, he wouldn't have taken this long to get here." Abby sighed.
"Daniel went alone and he was here before us." Nymeria pointed out.
"Because the government helped him!" Keith insisted.
"Or maybe it's because his crow was there to guide him." Jeanette pointed out to him. Keith just glared at her then grumbled to himself while walking away from the group to inspect the cabin.
~Confessional~
Keith: They don't understand! The government probably made this reality tv show to see if the winners of the show could potentially be their elite lapdogs or something! And maybe Daniel is trained to especially compete in this show, like those Careers in the Hunger Games you know. *he wears his tin foil hat again* Wait, what if the government kidnapped Quincey and the Quincey that will come back is a robot!? *he wears another tin foil hat on top of the other one*
Quincey: It might seem that I will make a rather bad impression on my team. No matter, winning this will mean that I will get another chance to prove myself to them.
~End Confessional~
Over at the Black Knight's side, Caitlyn had already helped up Antoine and both of them are making their way back to where most of the others are.
"That costed us some time..." Gabriel grumbled.
"Shut up. I'm still far more superior than you." Antoine huffed as he went over to inspect the cabin. To his surprise, it had the women's sign on it. "Wait, why does this have the women's sign on it?"
"My bet is that only women can sleep here." Jamie deduced.
"So what...the guys sleep outside?" Gabriel sighed and glared at the sign. "How sexist..."
"Then what if the cabin the White Stallions are finding is the men's cabin?" Winona asked.
"Then I'm moving over there, no questions asked." Antoine declared.
"Are we even allowed to do that?" Kazuo wondered as he rocked his head back and forth.
"I can answer that question for you later." Blaineley suddenly appeared from the side. She went over to the team. "The challenge is over, losers. You lose...um, losers." She said.
"What do you mean?" Eliza asked while blinking in a tipsy way.
"The White Stallions win." Blaineley said simply as she showed them a small monitor. It showed the White Stallions gathered around the cabin with Valnoir there with them. "You know what that means, right? Elimination ceremony tonight." She laughed. The collective members of the Black Knights groaned, except for Tom who was still on the other side and now looking mesmerized.
"Blaineley? Is that you? I'm coming, Blaineley!" He exclaimed as he started to leap from platform to platform just to reach the other side.
"Wow, and that got him going?" Caitlyn sighed.
"Anyways, let me tell you what you have to do next before the elimination ceremony happens in two hours." Blaineley said, awkwardly ignoring the fan boy stare Tom has on his face.
"Is it to make a campfire and sing kumbaya?..." Gabriel rolled his eyes and looked away.
"Hardly." Blaineley responded dryly. "You're wondering why this cabin has the women's sign right? Well here's your answer: it's for women." She said plainly.
"Just as I thought." Jamie exclaimed proudly.
"But where will the guys sleep then?" Caleb inquired.
"And can you please sign my belly?" Tom inquired as well as he shown them his round belly. Everyone cringe at the sight and Blaineley's eye twitched.
"Okay I'll answer the second question first. The answer is no and if you don't cover that right away I'll eliminate you on the spot!" She glared at Tom. The chubby boy immediately pulled down and adjusted his shirt in fear.
"I'm sorry, oh so glorious Ms. O'Halloran!" He bowed deeply. "I won't anger you again! I promise!" He vowed.
"Whatever." Blaineley sighed. She then turned her attention to Caleb. "And to answer your question, you boys need to go further that way in order to reach the cabin the White Stallions found. That's for men." She pointed into the distance and they all saw where she was pointing. It was in the direction of the forest.
"It's a bit of a long walk I see." Kazuo remarked.
"Then you better get walking if you wanna rest early." Blaineley stated. "Just remember that we have an elimination tonight."
"But wait, since it's a long walk, that means the guys won't see the girls in order to discuss strategy in time." Kazuo realized. "What about potential alliances and all that?"
"That's a bold way to put it." Silvia blinked in surprise. "But he makes a good point."
"Don't tell me the alliances will be limited to boys only and girls only." Caitlyn frowned. Blaineley shook her head.
"Not really. You can still talk to each other even before elimination. Basically you're risking an extra mile and limited time to plan before your elimination ceremony. Not to mention someone might overhear you. It's a new thing we came up with." She said with a giggle.
"That's too bad. I wanted to get to know my team better too." Winona frowned. "I suppose that means we can't build a campfire and sing kumbaya after all." She gave a sympathetic look towards Gabriel, who looked at her awkwardly.
"Can I ask a question?" Eliza raised her hand. "What are we going to do about food?"
"Go hunt or something. I don't care." Blaineley shrugged as she began walking off. "We'll hold the elimination ceremony at the docks. Don't be late or I'll eliminate you right there and then." She threatened.
"Well, that's our cue to go." Kazuo said as he began walking towards the forest area.
"I'll lead us there!" Antoine insisted as he overtook Kazuo and went ahead. "A genius like me knows the way through a forest at dusk." He bragged.
"That is interesting." Kazuo smiled. "But will it be enough?" he said the last part in a whisper.
"What? Did you say something?" Antoine glanced towards him. Kazuo shook his head and so the trivia master just shrugged and continued on walking. Unbeknownst to Kazuo, Gabriel was walking right behind him and heard what he said. The other boy narrowed his eyes but said nothing. Caleb and Tom trailed behind, the former looking for something while the latter bemoaned about how Blaineley didn't notice him much.
"I suppose that's that." Jamie said after the guys had left. "Wanna talk about the vote?" She turned to the girls.
"Not really." Silvia sighed. "I think I'll get a power nap." She went inside the cabin.
~Confessional~
Kazuo: Antoine can be a good candidate for this butterfly effect experiment I have going on. I just need to find out how to make it worthwhile. But first, the votes. I wonder how I should tonight. Against a weak link? Against a strong asset? Ah, the options are limitless!
Gabriel: That Kazuo may be onto something...I just can't quite put my finger to it. He strikes me as a carefree and reckless person...yet he doesn't seem that much of a liability. The tone he used on Antoine actually got me thinking whether he has a personal plan for himself in terms of strategy...Does he?
~End Confessional~
The scene changed to a few minutes in the past at the time when the White Stallions were declared the winners. They were gathered around Valnoir to wait for what he has to say. Quincey had joined them just after Antoine and Caitlyn crossed the river.
"White Stallions." Valnoir addressed them. "You have won the first team challenge. Not bad at all." He cackled.
"Is there a reward for it?" Jackie asked.
"Is there?" Valnoir repeated. "Did I mention any reward when I explained the challenge?"
"No, not really." The jester answered.
"Then you have your answer. You all don't have to face elimination. That's reward enough." Valnoir smirked.
"At least it's something." Jeanette sighed. "Let's all just accept it."
"Yeah and we can get to know each other better!" Nymeria exclaimed.
"Oh yeah, we never really did get to sit down and talk about one another." Abby realized. "How can we work as a team without knowing things about each other first?"
"Save the campfire gimmicks for later." Valnoir rolled his eyes. "It's time I explain what the cabin signs are for."
"I think we all know why these signs exist." Quincey interrupted.
"Yeah, it's so the government knows which experiments go on which cabin. Take this men's cabin, for example. I bet it's here to experiment on guys' small di-" Keith tried to say.
"These cabins cater to the sex indicated to the sign." Valnoir interjected before Keith finished his sentence. "In this case, it's the men's cabin so all girls here, get the hell out!" He cackled at the end as he pointed at the forest again, which is starting to get dark as sunset passed. "Your cabin is by the river where the Black Knights are."
"Wait, do we really have to go right now?" Beatrice frowned. "It looks scary out there."
"I got you so don't worry. I go night strolling all the time." Gabriella bragged. "Mountaintops, forests, even a desert once. We'll be fine."
"Can't the guys accompany us at least?" Abby raised her hand. Quincey stepped forward.
"I would like to accompany them. This is to make up for the hindrance I caused my team in the challenge." Quincey said. Valnoir shook his head with a malicious grin.
"Nope. None of you are accompanying them. Those who dare try it will be eliminated right on the spot." The host declared. The other boys didn't speak up after that. Quincey still looked a bit conflicted before Gabriella gave him and assuring smile.
"Like I said, I got this." She gave a thumbs up. "You go on ahead with your beauty sleep."
"I'm not sleeping with this spy!" Keith pointed a finger at Daniel, who simply ignored him and looked at the girls who were about to leave.
"You don't have a choice." Valnoir smirked.
"It was a good challenge, nice effort you guys!" Jackie exclaimed, using his cheery tone again. "Let's win again tomorrow!"
"Heck yeah!" Abby cheered. Jeanette saw that Alysson has yet to move and decided to grab his wrist.
"What are you still doing? We have to get to our cabin." Jeanette said as she began taking him away with them.
"What but I'm-" Alysson soon caught himself before he said anything else. "-just looking at the clearing one last time before we go. It is a nice place after all."
"But I have a feeling the cabin by the river will be nice too." Beatrice smiled as they began walking.
"Stay safe, girls!" Jackie waved to them. "See you tomorrow!"
"Are you guys sure you don't want to watch the elimination ceremony tonight? It might be dramatic." Valnoir encouraged with a sadistic grin.
"I think I'll pass." Keith yawned. "I'm beat. And I need to sleep with one eye open in case this spy decides to kidnap me." He glared at Daniel, who was already going inside the cabin. His crow decided to perch on the roof and sleep there.
After some time of walking, the girls of the White Stallions crossed paths with the boys of the Black Knights. They stopped walking and looked at each other.
"Hello girls. Good evening." Kazuo greeted with a smile.
"Good evening as well, good sir." Jeanette greeted back with a slight smile.
"Congrats on winning the challenge I guess..." Gabriel said as he scratched his head.
"Don't congratulate them! Taunt them!" Antoine urged. "Hey, girls! Enjoy your victory while it lasts because the Black Knights will steamroll over you in the next challenge!"
"Look, we're all tired so can we please just skip this?" Abby asked as she yawned.
"Yeah since it's a long walk ahead." Gabriella added.
"Good point." Tom nodded. "We still have to talk strategy."
"What strategy?" Antoine scoffed. "It's obvious we're voting for you." He accused.
"What? Why? Because I didn't win the challenge for us?" Tom rolled his eyes. "There were other factors too."
"But you were the most stubborn!" Antoine insisted.
"Maybe we should go." Beatrice suggested uncomfortably.
"Good idea." Nymeria said to her and they both went ahead. Jeanette saw them go and decided to follow.
"Nice team you guys got here." Gabriella smirked to Gabriel.
"Shut up..." Gabriel grunted before brushing past her. Caleb followed close behind while looking at some sort of old clockwork gear.
"I guess we'll see you tomorrow then, ladies." Kazuo winked at the remaining girls of the White Stallions before following his teammates.
"He's pretty cute." Gabriella commented. She looked at Alysson, whose eyes stared after Kazuo a he left. "Don't you think so?"
"Oh! Um, yeah he is." Alysson immediately said as he snapped back to reality.
~Confessional~
Antoine: Seriously, is Tom that stupid and inferior? He's the weak link in our team and he clearly has to go!
Tom: Antoine is so toxic. The team will see that and vote him off tonight, I'm sure of it. The dude's too arrogant too.
Alysson: There is something, well, unique about Kazuo. Maybe I should try my luck at seducing him. He didn't seem to realize that I'm a guy after all. *he giggles* This should be fun. Really fun.
Jeanette: As I walked, I realized something important. Considering the distance between the two cabins, it will be very difficult for us to create alliances with the opposite sex. There might not even be enough time to plan the votes or who their potentials targets may be. I hope I'm wrong here.
~End Confessional~
(Elimination Ceremony)
The Black Knights met up in the dock area where they had initially started from. A single small yacht lay parked beside it, and the two hosts stood before the docks with grins on their faces. The losing team sat at tree stumps that were laid out before them and a large campfire lit up the place as well as gave them warmth.
"Welcome Black Knights, to your first elimination ceremony." Valnoir greeted as he spread out his arms dramatically. "This is also the first elimination in the game, so the person going home tonight has the highest shame!" He cackled like a madman and in that moment, lightning crackled and thunder roared above.
"Something tells me those aren't special effects." Winona winced.
"They aren't. It was just a coincidence." Valnoir shrugged.
"Let's just get on with it already." Blaineley rolled her eyes. "I still have a massage to get to."
"Can I be the one to massage you, Blaineley?" Tom offered with a toothy grin and a giddy laugh.
"No." The co-host bluntly stated.
"Aw." Tom sighed dejectedly.
"I want to go sleep..." Gabriel grunted.
"Same here." Jamie yawned.
"Then let's not waste time anymore." Valnoir interjected. "There are pieces of paper on the stump where you are sitting on. Write the name of the person you want gone and give the papers to me." He explained. "You cannot show your paper to each other. If we catch you doing so then we'll eliminate the offenders on the spot. Afterwards, you can go to the confessional area to tell the audience about your votes."
Everyone did as they were told and began writing the name of who they're voting for on the paper they were given. THey all made sure nobody was looking at their votes as they did so. One by one, they gave it to Valnoir. He looked at each of the votes then handed it to Blaineley.
"This is how it's going to work." Blaineley got everyone's attention. "I'll read out the votes one by one. If you got the most votes then that means your team eliminated you. Got that?" Everyone nodded. "Then let's get this over with." She giggled. "First vote goes to Kazuo."
"Oh?" Kazuo tilted his head with a smile.
"Second vote goes to Tom."
"Really?" Tom glared at Antoine, who met it with his own.
"The third vote goes to Antoine."
"I won't go home today." Antoine said defiantly.
"Fourth vote...Caleb." Blaineley read.
"What?" Caleb reacted disinterestedly as he played with two cogs now.
"Fifth and sixth votes go to Tom." Tom looked nervous now. "Seventh and eighth votes go to Antoine." This time, Antoine looked nervous.
"This is gonna get good." Valnoir chuckled.
"Ninth and tenth votes go to..." Blaineley paused.

"...Both Antoine and Tom!" She announced.
"What? A tie?..." Gabriel blinked.
"This is unexpected." Winona added.
"I suppose the votes weren't unanimous then." Caitlyn realized.
"I expected as much." Eliza remarked. "Nobody had time to plan the votes properly. It's only natural that the first day ends up like this." She slurred a bit.
"Well what should we do about it now?" Jamie frowned.
"That's easy." Valnoir grinned. "We have a tiebreaker."
"Do you even have a tiebreaker planned?" Blaineley raised her eyebrow at him.
"Nope." Valnoir shook his head. "I always believed that the first eliminations are always unanimous. This means that our concept for the cabins is working." He cackled as he took out an unusual coin from his pocket.
"Hey, is that a doubloon?" Caleb asked.
"It sure is." Valnoir smirked. "I found this lying around on the beach earlier."
"Cool." Caleb nodded in awe.
"Now, Antoine, call it." The host turned to the trivia guru.
"Tails!" Antoine exclaimed.
"Then that leaves Tom with head." Valnoir smirked and winked. Eliza laughed loudly, the girls except for Winona blushed madly, and the guys looked weirded out.
"Grow up." Blaineley rolled her eyes.
"I can't help it." Valnoir shrugged innocently. He flipped the coin and everyone waited in anticipation for which side it will show. The coin fell into Valnoir's palm and he showed it to everyone.

"It's tails! Yes!" Antoine cheered.
"Aw come on!" Tom whined.
"Looks like Antoine won the tiebreaker." Blaineley said. "That means the first one eliminated off this island is Tom!"
"If you'll come this way." Valnoir motioned for Tom and the others to follow him as he made his way to the dock where the yacht was.
"We're gonna miss you, dude." Silvia said sadly as they walked.
"I'm not." Antoine laughed. "Good riddance."
"Although, the nervous look on your face was more priceless than Tom's." Caitlyn remarked as she showed a photo of it on her camera. "I wonder if I'll get more reviews if I post this on the media."
"Hey, give me that!" Antoine tried to grab her camera but she held him back and laughed.
"Quiet down!" Valnoir ordered as they made it to the yacht. "Tom, your team has voted you out and you are the first one eliminated in this season. Any last words?"
"Yeah." Tom said as he glared at the host. "Screw you! Blaineley should be the main host!" He demanded as he charged at Valnoir. The host just sighed as he dodged his attack and grabbed the other boy by the back of his collar.
"You may all leave now." Valnoir instructed. The rest of the team nodded and slowly headed back to their respective cabins just as Valnoir threw Tom unto the boat and the platform detached itself from the dock.
"I hope I become a returnee and overthrow you!" Tom threatened.
"We'll see." Valnoir chuckled as the yacht went away.
As the Black Knights were about to leave the elimination site, they heard an explosion in the distance. They turned back and saw that the yacht Tom was in was on fire and was sinking.
"What was that!?" Winona gasped.
"The yacht exploded!" Jamie exclaimed in shock. Valnoir went up to them with a sadistic.
"You guys like the fireworks show?" He cackled.
"What the hell!? Did you kill Tom!?" Silvia demanded angrily.
"Relax, he's in safe hands." Valnoir assured while still grinning.
"That's still blurry." Kazuo said skeptically.
"Just go to bed already." Valnoir deadpanned. "I'll say it again. He's in safe hands. And don't ever confront me about it again if you don't want to blow up too."
The team reluctantly turned their backs and walked away, murmuring to themselves. All save for Caitlyn, Jamie, and Kazuo, who seem to be deep in thought.
Valnoir and Blaineley stood at the docks with the burning yacht over at the distance acting as their background. They didn't seem bothered by it and were grinning.
"And our first elimination went down with a blast!" Valnoir cackled.
"This is sure to get the authorities' attentions." Blaineley smirked at him.
"Then it's a good thing this island isn't owned by any country." Valnoir smirked back.
"Anyway, with the first elimination all said and done, will the Black Knights make a comeback?" Blaineley asked.
"Will Keith find out if Daniel is really a government spy?" Valnoir rolled his eyes as he asked.
"Can Alysson successfully seduce a guy and keep his secret hidden from the girls?" Blaineley added.
"Find out next time on Total..." Valnoir started.
"Drama..." Blaineley chimed in.
"Forgotten Island!" They both finished.
~Votes~
Gabriel: Gonna vote for Antoine tonight...He won't stop bothering me during the challenge and it's getting on my nerves...Please make this work.
Kazuo: My vote goes to Tom. He cost us the challenge and based on my observations about him, he doesn't look like the physical type unless Blaineley comes into view, which is chancy.
Winona: I vote for Tom. Caitlyn and Jamie said to vote for Antoine but I think I can change him for the better. I do like giving support to others so I think I'll give him a chance over Tom.
Silvia: I've been thinking about who I should vote for and I decided to vote for Caleb. He's the one who really doesn't focus much on the challenge. Sometimes I wonder if he even cares at all. There's no room for attitude like that on this team.
Caleb: Okay so I'm going to vote for Kazuo. I actually had to decide between him and Eliza and voting for him is better because he's so weird. Voting for someone strong on our team? Voting for someone you like? What kind of personality is that?
Antoine: Tom should realize how weak and inferior he really is. Therefore, I vote for him and he better go home!
Tom: I can't stand Antoine. The dude is just so unbearable with his superiority complex. I just hope the others see this too and vote for him.
Caitlyn: I'm going to vote for Antoine. I hate his guts and he's so distracting, in a negative way.
Jamie: Antoine is so arrogant and full of himself it's getting annoying. I'm voting for him. Too bad I couldn't properly convince Winona and Silvia to do the same, but maybe they voted for him too. *she shrugs*
Eliza: I flipped a coin to see who I should vote for. Choosing between Antoine and Tom is such a hassle on my mind so I flipped a coin to save me the trouble. The coin has spoken, and Tom needs to go.
~Eliminated~
20th place: Tom - The Host's Pet
Tom didn't strike me as an interesting character to write as I planned out how this story will go. He seemed a bit plain for my tastes and didn't have much to offer to the table. Look at it this way, in a team full of people whose dots connect, he basically has a lot of broken lines. I decided that last place is where I will put him, and I hope nobody misses him. But hey, I can tell you for certain that he's a better person than Richard from my other story. I think...I don't know anymore. See you all next time! XBloodLegendX
