Final Two: Lindsay and Shawn
Episode 25: Aftermath IV: Nooooooo-ah!
A cheesy guitar riff opened the episode to a group of purple circles flying to the top right of the screen with smaller blue ones flying in the same direction at a faster speed. A large and blocky red 'T' flashed onto the screen and descended through the circles. A 'D' and 'A' followed moments later, then the three letters slid from the left to spell 'TDA' and the word 'AFTERMATH' flew from the bottom of the screen and slammed into the acronym, bumping it up briefly and slamming back down.
The words gleamed and the 'D' quickly came forward and turned slightly to the left before returning to its original position.

Rodney glanced over at Chef. The man had hunched over, and was slapping a cat o' nine tails against his hand with a wild grin. He took a deep breath, put on the wizard's hat over his eyes and charged forward with a battle cry. Chef raised his eyebrows and rushed out to stop him, but he ran into him, knocking him over and kept running to get to the other side.
"Did I make it?" Rodney asked, having reached the other side.
XXX
The 'D' came forward again and more recap footage was shown.
"This isn't a real backstage pass," Noah told the confessional camera, the pass already around his neck. "It just looks like one." He looked down at it, and began to read. "All Access Membership, Buff and Tone Spa?"
XXX
The 'D' came forward again.
Courtney was in the suit, already looking nervous. "Let's get this over with," she said before the helmet swung down over her head.
Chris smiled and pressed the button on the remote control, and the camera switched over to the bird's-eye-view of the machine. The rotating arm rapidly built up speed, and unlike Lindsay before her, Courtney immediately screamed in terror. Another viewpoint change showed the panicking type-a through the helmet's viewing window, then back to the bird's-eye-view. The sound of vomiting was heard.
XXX
The 'D' came foward one last time.
Heather was now sitting inside the limo. "A long ride to court when I sue you for everything you've got!" Heather yelled back at the host. "You want drama? You'll be penniless! Jobless! Your name will be mud on every block from here to Cape Breton!"
Chris slammed the door shut, and it sped off in a cloud of dust.

The introduction rift played again and the audience cheered and applauded. Josh and Blaineley sat on the host's couch in the middle. The couch left of the hosts had Cody, Ezekiel, Eva, Lightning, Sky, Beth, and Jo on the top row and Owen, Ella, Sadie, Harold, Dawn, and Brick on the bottom row. The couch right of the hosts had Amy, Mike, and Duncan on the top row and Heather, Courtney, Noah, and Rodney on the bottom.
"We're here live for the final aftermath of the season!" Blaineley announced. "My name is Blaineley."
"And my name is Josh," Josh introduced.
"We know you want to watch the finale already, but we don't want to leave the four that recently got eliminated out," Blaineley said.
"That, and we want the last episode to be the 26th one," Josh added.
"I was in last season's finale, and it had twenty-six episodes," Brick recalled.
"Twenty-seven if you count that special," Josh said.
"Chris did want us to have the Aftermath be the 26th episode, but would that be exciting to our viewers? I'd say no," Blaineley claimed.
"That makes sense," Brick agreed.
"I'd rather see the finalists actually battle it out for the prize," Jo shrugged. "It's more fun."
"Let's go to the people we'll be interviewing today!" Josh announced. "Rigid Rodney, Narcissistic Noah, Cutthroat Courtney, and Horrid Heather!"
The audience cheered for the four, and they either waved or smiled for them.
"Not to be rude, but why did you bring all the interviewed contestants out at once?" Ezekiel asked.
"It's the penultimate episode," Blaineley answered. "We can't keep our favorites waiting inside a green room."
"Owen let out a lot of noxious fumes inside there," Dawn told everyone the truth. "The room needs to air out."
"Dawn!!!" Owen moaned.
"You did eat a bowl full of cheese balls," Dawn mentioned.
"Alright, I can admit to that," Owen said. "They were just so tasty and were a special edition shipped from France."
"Before we get to the interviews," Josh said, "me and Blaineley put together some footage of everybody from the whole season. Let's roll those clips!"
The camera cut to the monitor.
XXX
Various clips were shown in rapid succession as rocking tune played. First was Brick jumping off the plane in 'Full Metal Drama,' next was Dawn and Harold peeking out of surfboards in 'Monster Cash,' then a quick clip of Mike running from beavers during the caveman challenge in 'One Million Bucks B.C.' before going to Shawn getting a sample from Heather in 'Get a Clue,' Rodney in his superhero costume in 'Canada's Mightiest Heroes,' and showing Beth and Duncan entering the hospital in 'One Flu Over the Cuckoos.'
Jo and Lightning are seen acting in 'Riot on Set,' then Amy is seen making a slam dunk in 'Million Dollar Babies.' Sky's dancing from 'Beach Blanket Bogus' is shown, then Noah and Courtney's kiss from 'The Sand Witch Project.' Chris is seen looking at a drumming Chef in Rock 'n' Rule,' then Lindsay is shown with her chameleon in 'Top Dog.' The final note is played as the final clip, a picture of the two cast trailers, is shown. The camera pulls back from the monitor as the audience cheers.

"I gotta say, Total Drama Action definitely lived up to its name," Blaineley quipped.
"And it's all because of you guys," Josh complimented the cast. "You bring the "in" into "insane."
"It's not our fault," Mike said. "Chris just brings out the worst in us."
"You know, I didn't realize this until now," Blaineley started, "but we're all probably going to never see each other again when the show ends."
"We did have an awesome time talking to all of you," Josh said. "I'm going to miss that."
"So am I," Amy replied. "Now get on with the show so we can leave."
"Starting off our interviews, we have the big guy, Rodney," Josh said as the monitor started to turn on.
"Rodney came into Total Drama Action with two things," Blaineley said over a clip of Rodney looking at his bomb in the spy movie challenge.
"A big heart and a boost in leadership," Josh replied as clips of Rodney helping his team over the wall and running from the monster played.
"He was finally starting to act like the powerhouse he was presented as," Blaineley said over Rodney running through the lasers.
"But when he broke his arm, Heather started to play mind games on him," Josh teased as clips of Rodney breaking his arm and Heather acting concerned were shown.
"He resisted at first, but he lowered his guard due to the false belief of her genuineness," Blaineley commented while Rodney was shown talking about Heather in the confessional.
"Once Rodney learned about Heather's deceptiveness, his feelings for her went down the drain and he told her off," Josh mentioned over a clip of Rodney scolding Heather about her actions.
"Unfortunately, Heather framed him for theft," Blaineley said over Rodney finding bras in his bed, "and once his name was cleared, he was already eliminated," he finished over Rodney's elimination.
"The first guest had a thing for athletes, slid an ice pack to his privates, and saved packs of ribs from being tarred," Josh noted. "Let's hear it for Rodney!"
The country boy went to sit on a red fancy chair while the audience cheered for him.
"Nice to see you two and thanks for introducing me," Rodney said.
"You're welcome," Blaineley said. "Love the advantages you got from just a broken arm."
"I had to share my own bathroom with my family for a week," Josh shuddered. "They are not clean."
"And gourmet meals? Double lucky," Blaineley smirked.
"I'll admit I love what I got, but my arm hurt me a lot," Rodney explained. "Thankfully, I was able to heal in a few days."
"You've been more mature and rational this season," Blaineley said. "It's a step up from the blubbering mess that you were before."
"I made some mistakes and I feel bad for them," Rodney said. "Sorry once again, Amy, Sky, and Eva."
"No need to apologize for thinking that I had a crush on you," Sky told him. "It was an honest mistake."
"I wanted to expand on my other attributes instead of romance," Rodney continued. "Leadership was one of them."
"Some people would call you boring," Josh said. "How do you respond to that?"
"I don't hold it against the critics," Rodney shrugged. "I was born on a farm, so I didn't get many opportunities to explore city life, but I'm fine with life on the farm and I won't trade it for the world."
"Full props to that, dude," Cody nodded.
"You got accused of stealing bras from girls," Josh said. "Even though your friends it wasn't you, they still voted you out. That must make you upset."
"It did, but once Heather exposed herself, it made me feel better," Rodney said. "And with her paying the price for everything, I can't hold any grudges towards anyone." The audience agreed with his statement and cheered, though Heather rolled her eyes and glared.
"Ain't that the truth," Blaineley chuckled.
"You can rejoin the others," Josh told the country boy as the monitor started to play. "Our resident snarker is up next."
"After failing to make it to the merge last season, Noah got a second chance to compete," Blaineley said during the clips of Noah in his superhero costume and him taking out a book during the heist challenge.
"He had the knowledge of Mike's DID and helped him control it," Josh mentioned over Noah and Mike conversing after episode three's challenge.
"Even with a sprained ankle, Noah had the ability to work it in his favor and get out of challenges," Blaineley remarked as Noah was seen hurting his ankle and talking himself out of jumping on the horse.
"He had Mike on his side and used a favor to gain his vote, but once he got eliminated, he had to turn to Shawn and Courtney," Josh said over clips of Mike and Noah in the confessional and Noah teaming up with the duo.
"Despite his laziness, he still posed a threat and managed to get Jo eliminated," Blaineley said as a clip of him bantering with Jo played.
"This quickly became his downfall as Heather used her sole vote to eliminate him before he could get her out," Josh finished over Noah's elimination.
"The second guest has an IQ of 180, tried to sneak himself ribs, and hacked into Kosmic Kaos for his own benefit," Blaineley introduced. "Here's Noah!"
Noah showed a lack of interest and sat on the chair, but that didn't stop the audience from sending out support and applause towards him.
"You're being interviewed," Josh noticed his expression. "I thought you would be more comfortable."
"I just don't care about occasions like this," Noah said.
"So you're eager to go home?" Josh asked.
"I am, but I have to stay for the final episode," Noah responded.
"Since you're here, we're going to ask you questions," Blaineley said to the schemer.
"Your elimination was brutal," Josh said. "Getting booted out by an unexpected voting style? Didn't see that coming."
"I would've preferred if I got eliminated by the contestants actually casting their votes instead of just giving Heather power and robbing me out of the game," Noah explained.
"Most of us wouldn't even see you as a powerhouse," Blaineley smirked. "You're unathletic, uncooperative, unsupportive, unkind, need I go on?"
"I get it," Noah rolled his eyes. "I'm not strong, but I've got smarts, and that's what wins in the end."
"You've been teamed up with Mike for the first parts of the season," Blaineley said. "Some see it as you showing a soft side, but others think that you're just helping him for self-benefits."
"Mike does owe me some favors for all the times I've covered for him," Noah nodded, "but that's not why I did it."
"I can vouch for him," Mike stood up. "He's not the nicest, but he did want me to not act upon my emotions just in case my characters act up. I can consider him a friend after how much he's helped me." The audience clapped for this, and even the Peanut Gallery showed their support.
"Thanks, Mike, but I don't want my entire interview to be based around you," Noah said.
"Moving on, you didn't get along with most of your teammates this time around," Josh claimed.
"Josh is right," Blaineley agreed. "You got into arguments with Jo and Courtney and you enjoy ticking people off for no reason."
"When you're surrounded by those that don't have any sign of common sense or consideration, you can tend to retort back as a tool to keep your self-esteem strong," Noah explained. "My brothers pull pranks on me and tease me, and they wonder why I'm a jerk to them."
"Makes me glad I'm an only child," Blaineley delighted.
"Not now, Blaineley," Josh scolded her.
"Once Mike got eliminated, I knew I would be targeted, so I joined Courtney's alliance," Noah went on. "She's still a cynical egoist, but she's not that bad once you get to know her."
"Is there anything you'd like to change about your performance?" Blaineley wondered.
"I could've at least put effort in the surf boarding challenge," Noah replied. "If I had, I wouldn't have been forced to dance and I wouldn't have broken my ankle."
"And with that, your time is up," Blaineley told the schemer.
"We'll talk to Courtney and Heather and uncover more stuff you didn't even know about," Josh told the audience.
"But that'll be right after the break!" Blaineley finished.

The episode returned with another flash of the Aftermath logo, and the scene cut back to the hosts and the Peanut Gallery eating fries and burgers.
"Not that I'm complaining, but how did you manage to get like a hundred of this stuff for us?" Jo questioned the hosts.
"I used some of my money to buy them," Josh said. "I come from a rich family, so I can sometimes rely on my savings."
"Sometimes?" Dawn raised an eyebrow.
"Okay, all the time," Josh admitted. "Consider this as an apology for me going overboard last time."
"Apology accepted," Owen said before swallowing his burger whole.
"And we're back on air," Blaineley told the audience.
"We've just talked with Rodney and Noah, and will do the same with Courtney and Heather," Josh said.
"But first, we play our most painful ever season finale all-star version of 'That's Gonna Leave a Mark!'" Blaineley declared.
XXX
The fist clip was the horse hitting Rodney in the nuts in 'The Princess Pride'. Next was Rodney getting hit with golf balls in 'Masters of Disasters', followed by Heather getting shot by Chef in 'Alien Resurr-eggtion."
Lindsay was shown being thrown against the farm backdrop in 'Beach Blanket Bogus', then Sky was shown landing harshly on the horse in '3:10 To LoserTown'. After that, Lindsay was shown knocking Noah out in the boxing match during 'Million Dollar Babies'.
After that, Rodney fell on Duncan's back in 'Masters of Disasters', followed by Harold getting shot in the stomach during 'Alien Resurr-eggtion'. Shawn was slapped by his bear in 'Top Dog', then Noah twisting his ankle and Jo getting hit in the stomach by a seagull in 'Beach Blanket Bogus'.
Rodney was shown breaking her arm in 'Masters of Disasters', then Courtney was shown getting attacked by an octopus in 'Crouching Courtney, Hidden Heather'.
"It's a bird," Blaineley said as Noah was shown inching his way across the power lines in 'Super Zeroes', "It's a plane," Chef was shown readying a bowling ball. "It's," he threw it and hit the boy in the groin, "incredibly painful!" Blaineley laughed and paused the footage.
XXX
"For those of you that have been injured, just be glad that you'll be able to get over your pain in a few seconds," Blaineley commented.
"That's unless you're me or Rodney," Noah snarked.
"I nearly broke my butt landing on that horse," Sky said. "I don't want to relieve it again."
"We can talk about pain later," Blaineley smirked. "We're going to move on to Courtney."
"Courtney is a girl that plays to win!" Josh said over a clip of Courtney training Lindsay.
"This is more apparent in this season since she's not in just two episodes," Blaineley quipped as clips of Courtney fighting Heather and moving through the lasers played.
"She didn't want to repeat the same mistakes from last time," Josh reminded over Courtney talking about Brick in the confessional, "so she played buddy buddy with Shawn and even Noah," Courtney talking to the boys was shown.
"However, she still couldn't let up on her egocentric and selfish behavior during her last episodes just because of her drive to win," Blaineley said while Courtney was seen yelling at Courtney, kicking the Chris dummy on the train, and whining in the rock and roll challenge.
"This left her on bad terms with her alliance," Josh said as a scene of Courtney and Shawn arguing played, "and as soon as they got back to each other's good graces, Courtney took the heave ho," Courtney's reconciliation with Shawn and her entering the limo were shown.
"The third guest hates doctors, broke up with her band before their first performance, and has been put through two tiebreakers," Blaineley introduced. "Ladies and gentlemen, Courtney!"
Courtney waved and winked at the cheering audience before taking her seat in the chair.
"I didn't even know there would be an interview at first," Courtney said, "but I'm not going to complain."
"There's a first in everything, I guess," Blaineley chuckled.
"Can we not talk about me being eliminated first last season?" Courtney begged. "I want to let that go and not let it define me."
"We were gonna ask you about that, but what the heck. We have other things we can talk with you about," Josh said.
"Where did your ambition come from?" Blaineley asked. "You took two samples in the mystery challenge even though you had to take one."
Courtney was embarrassed to hear that, but still answered. "I'll admit, I did go overboard there, but I expected to get something out of it. I always get rewarded with trophies and ribbons whenever I win a contest."
"Sadly, Chris doesn't work like that," Josh mentioned. "What do you think is your worst quality other than your uptightness?"
"Uptight? I'm like the most easy going person I know," Courtney said, causing most of the audience to laugh.
"Right, you're so collected. Here are some clips of that," Josh announced before the TV turned on.
\
"HAROLD AND DAWN! GET BACK HERE NOW!"
"If I was a lawyer, I'd be suing Chris for one million dollars."
"These producers should not be caging underage teenagers!"
"We're not doing that unless we want to look like morons."
"We have two minutes left. Don't rush to a dumb decision."
"They were in your bed, and Noah and Shawn aren't the type to pull a stunt like you just did. That's my proof."
"Go figure. I've got a brain."
"Did you see that swag? Only thing missing was a barf bag with Chris' face on it."
"I don't want to talk to a deadbeat survivor who can't act normal for more than a minute!"
\
The monitor turned off, and Courtney was surprised at how she acted. "Oops."
"Why do you act like this?" Blaineley questioned the type-a. "It's really grating."
"Growing up, my parents raised me to be successful and to achieve greatness," Courtney shared her story. "Instead of reading comics, I read encyclopedias. Almost every day, I had to participate in spelling bees or debate team competitions. Heck, the one and only time I got a C on an assignment, I was grounded for a month and had to spend that time studying."
"Are you serious?!" Heather asked, shocked to hear such an overreaction.
"It's not your turn yet!" Josh told her. "Please continue, Courtney."
"My parents are not abusive if you're wondering that," Courtney went on. "They just want the best for me, even if they can be pushy and demanding."
"So you don't want to come off as mean," Brick realized. "You were just acting like how you believed your parents would want you to."
"That is a true statement, Brick," Courtney said. "Even my dad and mom can get annoyed with me because of how overly competitive I can be, but I just wanted to impress them."
"You guys have problems you seriously need to talk to each other about," Josh claimed. "When the show is over."
"Trust me, I know," Courtney nodded.
"Are you proud of your gameplay so far?" Blaineley asked the girl.
"You did act more of a team player, but you did do questionable things like not listening to Rodney when he was framed, looking down on Lindsay, and even berated Shawn and Noah," Josh said.
"I did improve, but looking back, I could've handled some situations much better," Courtney said. "I now see Lindsay as almost an equal, and Rodney, I do apologize for not believing you about the bra incident."
"You were rude about it, but at least you saw the truth," Rodney smiled.
"Are we going to get to my interview or what?" Heather interrupted.
Josh glared in annoyance, but returned to his calm demeanor. "As a matter of fact, we were just getting to you, and it's going to be a treat," he said mischievously.
"Our queen bee, Heather, was known for three things," Blaineley started while Heather was shown stealing three bras. "Her ruthlessness, her self-servingness, and more importantly, her meanness!" Clips of Heather breaking the glass in the spy challenge, overhearing Amy's conversation with Lindsay, and being picked last for Sky's team were shown.
"She broke Noah's ankle, increased Sky's newfound ego, took advantage of the Beth, Amy, and Lindsay fiasco, used Rodney's feelings for her and later pinned the blame on him for the bras, made a deal just to save her butt, and temporarily ended Courtney and Shawn's cooperation," Josh recapped over all of Heather's bad deeds.
"And what was her karma? She got maimed by raccoons, lost her hair in the scuffle, and got disqualified for not following the challenge rules entirely," Blaineley said over the raccoons hurting Heather and her elimination.
"The fourth and final guest burnt off her eyebrows, hates barbecue chips, and is all around, a terrible person," Josh teased. "The one, the only, Heather!"
Everyone let out loud boos and jeers at the queen bee. Some of the audience members even took the liberty of flinging tomatoes at her.
"Just as we expected," Blaineley smirked. "The most hated contestant will obviously get no love from our caring audience."
"It's not like I care about what they think," Heather huffed. "I shouldn't even be here with these freaks!" She was met with a tomato to the eye.
"Can someone hand me a tomato just in case?" Amy asked the audience, and in return, one was handed to her. "Thank you!"
"At first, you seemed to be the big bad of the first season," Josh said. "You had Ella and Sadie in your grasp and did some pretty heinous things."
"I would've gone further if it wasn't for Jo-ke over there," Heather motioned to Jo, who shot daggers back at her enemy.
"What made you change your strategy this season?" Blaineley questioned. "It definitely wasn't because you had a change of heart."
"I decided to play smarter and work harder," Heather spit out. "If I was openly hostile, I would have been out before the first five episodes. I just had to inform people of my ability to be more cooperative. I did that to Rodney and Amy."
"You're like the boy who cried wolf," Blaineley said. "You lied to people a lot."
"I knew it would be hard to get any of these fools to even listen to me," Heather replied. "I always had to back up what I was saying in order to make myself look valid."
"That's still messed up to do, and I don't know you that much," Ezekiel commented.
"Keep out of this, you hoser," Heather told him off, causing Amy to throw a tomato at her head.
"It must be tough not to have any hair at all," Josh teased. "I can almost see my reflection on it."
"Laugh all you want, but I can hide my baldness with this!" Heather sneered before taking out a wig and putting it on her head. The wig resembled the one Sadie wore last season, only it was longer, has no highlights, and is a darker color of gray.
"Where did you even get that wig?" Courtney wondered. "Did you order it from Krugslist?"
"I visit that website every once in a while, but I don't remember seeing wigs there," Dawn said.
"I ordered it from my mom's hair company," Heather responded. "She makes wigs, and I don't want to walk around as the girl who lost her hair on international TV."
"Speaking of your mom, how would you judge your relationship with your own family?" Blaineley brought up.
"Easy. My little brother, Damien, is a demon. My other siblings and cousins are annoying. And I know my dad and mom love and cherish me," Heather said with a full sense of superiority.
"Are you sure about that?" Josh asked with a devious smirk. "It didn't make the air, but there was a video message from home directed to you."
"And the stars? Mr and Mrs. Wilson," Blaineley said before aiming the remote at the TV and turning it on.
XXX
The clip opened up to Heather's mom and dad partying. They were wearing party hats, blowing on party blowers, and generally having fun.
"Oh, yeah!" Mr. Wilson cheered while a man was carrying a pile of shoes past them. He noticed the camera filming them. "What, we're rolling? Oops," he apologized before he and wife took off their hats and sat down. "Hi, Heather Feather. It's Mom and Dad. We miss you so much. My golf game has really been off since you've been gone."
A chair with Heather's photo on the top was carried away. "Pedicures seem less... spiritual now," Mrs. Wilson admitted.
"Right, right, right. There's that," Mr. Wilson said.
"Hey, where do you want me to put her bed?" a mover wondered as he and another man moved a bed belonging to Heather.
Mrs and Mr. Wilson was surprised to see it aired, but the latter ended the recording with an "Oops."
XXX
The clip ended, and everyone muttered to each other in surprise and confusion.
Heather stared at the scene with a lot of thoughts, but came to one. "I'm pretty sure they were just moving my stuff to another room."
"They were throwing a party, and they were surprised to see that it was recorded," Josh said. "They should have hidden their tracks better."
"To sum it up, even they don't like to put up with you sometimes and see the show as a vacation away from you," Blaineley said.
"They always try to change who I am," Heather defended herself. "They tried shock therapy on me as a child just to get me to be nicer."
"And considering how mean you still are, that didn't work," Blaineley said.
"I can tolerate my parents, but Damien is a brat," Heather complained. "He puts glue in my hair container, dyes my clothes in different colors, and is just a general nuisance."
"I can tell that he and my brothers will get along just great," Noah deadpanned.
"Before we can end your interview, we have a surprise for you," Josh told Heather.
"What else do you want to show me?" Heather grumbled.
"Today's very special guest will be a relative of Heather," Blaineley turned to the audience.
"He's 10 years old and has a lot to say," Josh amped up. "Damien!"
The Aftermath theme played as the young Asian boy walked out on stage. He had black spiky hair, an orange shirt, blue jeans, and yellow sneakers.
Damien smiled for the audience, but his attitude turned sour once he saw his sister. "Heather."
"Damien," Heather sniffed back.
"Is this why dad and mom dropped me off here?" Damien wondered. "So I can be interviewed with my sister?"
"Yep," Blaineley said. "Heather's complained about you a lot."
"You torment her with pranks and you mailed her a jawbreaker as a present," Josh quipped.
"I didn't want to give her anything, but mom and dad insisted I do so," Damien grumbled. "I found this once in a lifetime jawbreaker at our candy store and used half my allowance to buy it. Heather's got a sweet tooth, and I didn't want to buy anything expensive, so I picked the jawbreaker."
"That's surprisingly thoughtful of you," Heather commented.
"Why do you make Heather's life a misery then?" Blaineley asked the boy.
Damien stayed silent for a few seconds and rolled his eyes, but eventually caved in. "It's because she's made mine a misery as well."
Heather glared at his brother. "Explain."
"You're bossy, obnoxious, and cruel. You not only bully me and our siblings, but others as well," Damien explained. "Since everyone knows who you are, they not only hate you, but they hate me as well because I'm related to you."
"You say I don't have friends. It's hard to make them when my classmates avoid me and treat me like the plague. I'd even get bullied for being the brother of the most hated contestant on Total Drama."
"I know I have a gaming room and a movie theater styled TV to myself, but money can't bring me complete happiness. Maybe if you stop acting like a jerk 24/7 and consider people's feelings, I wouldn't have to act evil towards you out of retaliation or to make myself happy."
After Damien was finished, everyone (from the Peanut Gallery to the hosts to even Heather) felt stunned and sorry for what he's had to go through.
"We can talk to each other after the show is over," Damien told his sister while leaving the room. "Our parents have to leave urgently and I don't want to spend another second with you, Heather."
Blaineley turned to the queen bee. "How are you taking all of this?"
"It's my own business for now," Heather replied as she got off the chair. "My interview is over, so let's move on to what's next."
"We all know we want to give Chris a taste of his own medicine, so we prepared some never-before-seen clips," Josh said.
"This will help our audience see the real Chris McLean," Blaineley stated.
"Here's the first bit we're going to present!" Josh announced, making the audience cheer as the camera panned up to the monitor.
XXX
The fist clip was a silhouette of Chris behind a shower curtain as he sang in a high pitch. "I stand against the wall! Waiting for you to ask me to dance! My heart is in your hands! Ooh, ooh, ooh!" A white hand opened the curtain and he covered himself with his arms and screamed in an even higher pitch.
XXX
The audience and Peanut Gallery laughed at Chris' singing.
"His singing is worse than mine," Brick laughed before singing out, "Gerrrroooonimmmooo!"
"You're right," Sky smiled. "Your voice is a bit broad."
"If you thought that was bad, here's some more embarrassing footage of our host!" Josh announced.
"Once you've seen this side of Chris, you'll never look at him the same way again!" Blaineley beamed and the scene went to the monitor.
XXX
Chris was seen with a sub sandwich. He took one bite and the entire bottom half of his face was shown to be covered in mustard. And after that, he was shown asleep while sucking his thumb and holding a teddy bear.
Another clip was played. In this one, Chris is shown to be bald while getting ready for filming in the confessional. A hand then sprays his bald head before putting his wig on. In the last clip, Chris comes out of his trailer in a robe and then stretches. A breeze then kicks up and his groin is unintentionally shown.
XXX
The camera cut back to the hosts as the audience laughed. "Was that comedy gold or what?" Blaineley asked with a smile.
"Who knew Chris was bald and had to wear a wig?" Mike laughed.
"Even I outgrew my tendency to sleep with a teddy bear," Cody said, "especially when I don't like bears."
"We might have our paychecks deducted, but a little humiliation never hurts anyone," Josh quoted.
"As we wrap up our episode, we'll be delving into our finalists for this season," Blaineley said. "Lindsay and Shawn."
"Lindsay's been a bit of a ditzy blonde early on," Josh said over Lindsay tying herself up with rope.
"And Shawn's been an over-prepared and antisocial survivor in the beginning," Blaineley said over Shawn trying to scare his team.
"Lindsay has been shown to step up and prove to everyone that she's not just a stereotype," Josh claimed while clips of Lindsay winning the superhero and mystery challenge played.
"And Shawn has learned to trust people more and to not be afraid of everything he sees," Blaineley noted while clips of Shawn fighting the Sasquatch and bonding with his alliance played.
"As a bonus, those two have managed to put Heather in her place," Josh confidently said as a scene of Shawn and Lindsay conversing during breakfast was shown.
"Shawn rigged the showers to make it rain gumbo on her, and who can forget Lindsay's unexpected profane tirade towards her?" Blaineley recapped during the scenes of Heather getting humiliated.
"But who's going to win?" Josh asked as the camera cut back to the hosts and the Aftermath music played. "Shawn's got the energy and persistence after years of training, but Lindsay's got heart and the power of friendship vested in her. Either way, they cannot tie."
"Next episode will be the big, bad finale between the loveable lamebrain and the scruffy survivalist," Blaineley said. "Stay tuned to find out the winner of Total! Drama! Action!"
The hosts and the Peanut Gallery clapped and/or cheered while the audience members gave out loud applause.

The show was over and everyone had left, with the exception of Courtney and Rodney, who were busy setting up the set with banners of the final two.
"So who are you going to support?" Rodney asked. "My pick is Lindsay."
"I stand by my alliance, so Shawn is who I'll be cheering for," Courtney said.
"If that's the case, then why am I making a banner for Shawn and you're making one for Lindsay?" Rodney pointed out as they revealed their banners.
"That I do not know," Courtney answered. "Regardless, the sooner we finish these banners, the quicker we can go and rest."
