Anyways, review!
...
Last night was a good night for the final 3. They had taken Brendan off the island, and had slept very well that night.
Chris had called the finalists to the cafeteria, where they were served a buffet of food-not even food for breakfast. They all sat together, despite the hate Ben had for both of them.
Cane was hugging Rayleen tightly, "It's nice to know me and my girlfriend have made it all the way to the finals...now we just have one more day to go and we're competing for a million dollars!" Rayleen smiles and kisses Cane's cheek, "That's right!" They continued to talk while Ben watched them, awkwardly.
Ben (CONF.) I'm happy I'm in the final 3...and that Brendan isn't here anymore...but, what now? Cane and Rayleen are a couple...and obviously Cane is faking his relationship with her...so what could I do? The only hope I've got is if I win the challenge, but with my cast...can I?
Ben asks Rayleen, "Hey...how long have you known Cane?"
"Since like...the beginning of the season!" Rayleen happily says.
"But...that's been like...8-9 days...and you're dating? You barely know each other!" Ben yells, "How are you dating now?" Ben looks at Cane, who's simply staring at his plate of chicken, stirring it with a fork.
Rayleen interjects, "Um, actually, things happen! At first, it was awkward...but we soon bonded with a goal...eliminate Brendan for what he's made us do...like forcing Cane into an alliance with him...making me chop off your hands...it's crazy! And we're together still...and in the final 3...so you need to watch out lobster boy!"
Cane (CONF.) Should I just...tell Rayleen that the relationship we have isn't real...that it was all made up by Brendan to get her to ally with us...well then...Brendan's got me stuck in a sticky situation!
Cane goes off to throw his food away, and kisses Rayleen's cheek, "I need to meditate, wanna come? It might relax you for the challenge!" Rayleen smiles, "Of course!" They head out of the cafeteria, leaving Ben behind, still eating.
Outside, the couple is meditating under a tree, and there is a good breeze coming in, "Great time to meditate, huh?"
Rayleen smiles, "It is nice..."
Rayleen (CONF.) Ben's on to me now...trying to break my relationship with Cane! Does he really think he can face off against two athletes with NO casts?!
Ben suddenly arrives to the two meditating finalists and asks, "I need to talk to Cane...like right now."
Rayleen opens her eyes and glares at Ben, "No...I'm not letting you!"
But, Cane still stands up, "It's okay Rayleen...he'll probably just talk about useless stuff I won't listen to..." He follows Ben over to a bench in front of Team Onaka's cabin, "What do you want?" Cane firmly asks.
"What's going on with you?" Ben asks, "What are you doing to me...to Rayleen? Trying to kill me with a knife! Trying to get into this relationship with Rayleen just to get back at Brendan? Now look...you're stuck with a girl who hates me and doesn't even know that you don't like her!"
Cane slaps Ben across the face, "Shut up! You don't know me!" He gets up, and points at Ben, "I get that what I'm doing is against my morals...but I have to! People do things against their will so they can win! I have drive to win! Rayleen has drive to win! You...you don't! And I don't even care about the relationship anymore! All I got to do is eliminate you today, then if I beat Rayleen at the finale, I'll take the money and disappear off the face of this Earth!"
"And if she beats you?" Ben asks, not budging.
"Then I'll take the money and leave her heartbroken..." Cane begins to walk back to Rayleen, who seems to be watching the boys fight.
Ben yells to Cane as he's walking, "Think about what could happen!" Cane puts his middle finger to the sky, then sits back with Rayleen under the tree.
...
Chris appears and prepares his monologue, "Well...let's congratulate our finalists! Which of these 2 lucky campers will make the final 2 and earn a spot in getting that $500,000 prize! So...ready for the challenge?!" Everyone nods and cheers, "Well..." Chris cheers, "It's a 3-part obstacle course! First, you must pass through a mud bog...there isn't much to that one, but it's the only way to keep going through the challenge! Second, you will traverse through a pool of infested sharks and fish! You must dig deep into there, and find a gold medal! Grab one, get out, and show it to Chef! If he clears you, you will head right over to the final part of the course! A bunch of rocks jumbled together! Get through there, be one of the first two to pass the finish line, and you're in the finale! Simple!"
"Whoah...pretty athletic, huh?" Cane happily tells to Rayleen.
"Yep! Guess we know who's gonna be in that finale?" Rayleen cheerfully says, kissing Cane again.
Ben (CONF.) I have to win today...or I'm leaving! So...I gotta be violent today...but don't kill them, obviously!
Chris blows his horn, "Good luck y'all!" The final 3 begin running over to the first stage of the obstacle course.
Rayleen and Cane are running fast together, smiling at each other. Ben was running, but was very far behind. His cast seemed to putting some weight on his running.
Eventually, the couple reached the mud section of the obstacle course. "How are we supposed to get through this?" Rayleen asks, "We could get slowed down..."
Cane grabs Rayleen and puts her on his shoulders, "I've got it!" He jumps into the bog, and walks very slowly. Rayleen smiles, "Great! Just keep moving! Focus!"
Ben sees the couple that was ahead of him, and jumps in. Quickly, he pushes through the bog and ends up right next to Rayleen and Cane, "Hey y'all!" He grabs Rayleen, "Let's slow you down for a bit!"
Rayleen struggles to hold onto Cane's shoulders, but she ends up falling off into the bog. Eventually, Cane attacks Ben, and they fight in the mud. As the boys were fighting, Rayleen gets right out of the bog, and watches the boys continue fighting. She then runs off to the second part of the course.
Rayleen (CONF.) Sometimes...you need to sacrifice things to move forward...but Cane will be fine...he's strong enough...
Rayleen arrives at the large pool that stretched for quite a bit. She then looked at the other side, and saw Chef, waiting for someone to bring it to him. She dives in, opens her eyes, and begins searching for a medal.
Meanwhile, Ben has just arrived at the pool and jumps in. A second later Cane jumps in, landing on Ben.
Underwater, Rayleen is near the bottom, scanning for a medal. She sees Cane fighting Ben, and goes over to help. She grabs Ben and throws him onto the bottom of the pool. Cane quickly heads off with Rayleen to find medals.
Eventually, Ben picks himself out of the water with a medal. He hands it over to Chef, and begins rushing right towards to the final obstacle. Right after, Cane throws Rayleen up in the air, and she hands Chef 2 medals, showing how they both found one. Chef agrees to it and lets them through.
Now they were finally in the last part of the race-the jumbled-rock obstacle. Ben had already started, eyeing the finish line. But, he is hit by a rock and falls on top of some other rocks. Rayleen begins to rush past him, easily jumping over the rocks. Cane begins jumping over the rocks, but Ben stretches his hand out and traps Cane's foot in between some rocks. Ben is finally stand up and move on, but is grabbed by the back of his shirt by Cane.
"RAYLEEN HAS MADE THE FINALE!" Chris yells. The camera shows Rayleen jumping up and down, cheering and past the finish line.
Rayleen (CONF.) I'm SO HAPPY that I won! All I got to do now is just beat whoever's in the finale! Hopefully it's Cane...
Ben slaps Cane in the face, but Cane is able to get his foot out of the rocks and hits Ben right in the face with his foot, sending Ben to the floor of rocks.
Quickly, Cane jumps right into the finish line, and cheers with Rayleen, "Guess who's in the finale with my girlfriend?!" Rayleen cheers with him and both kiss.
Chris smiles, "Oh young love...anyways! Let's congratulate our finalists...Rayleen and Cane!" Chef presses a button showing fake clapping.
"Okay...since Ben didn't make it past the finish line...guess who's not getting a million dollars?!" Chris smiles, patting Ben's shoulder, and looks at Ben's face, with bruises.
(Elimination Ceremony)
Ben starts rolling his suitcases over to the Slide Of Shame, "I'm ready."
Chris smiles, "Been a good run...so...anything to say to our finalists?"
Ben turns to Rayleen and Cane, ad eyes their hands that are together, "Honestly, I don't care that I lost...I kinda thought I was leaving tonight...but...it doesn't matter...you guys don't want to listen to me...is it 'cause of my lobster hands? Probably not...but still...karma will bite both of you guys in the ass...so watch out!"
Annoyed, Cane shoves Ben into the Slide Of Shame, and the boat leaves the island.
Chris begins a recap, "Well...11 came...and 2 remain, so which one will win? Does it matter who wins since they're a couple?"
"Of course not!" Rayleen yells, and kisses Cane again.
"Well...see ya next time!" Chris screams, closing the camera.
