"Last time on Total Drama Refresh," Chris announced. "To avoid legal difficulties, we brought back two ex-campers, Victoria and Eliot. The twelve were merged into one big team with every camper for his or her self in a challenge to test their endurance to pain. Rivalries came to head such as Bobby versus Lionel, and Beatrice versus Victoria. In a final three of Edward, Nicole, and Beatrice we had quite the crazy melee; however, it was Beatrice who managed to win the first single immunity of the season. Victoria realized that she had to make the first step in repairing her relationship with Beatrice and convinced Lionel and Eliot to give Bea another chance. While she had have helped her friendship, she was still given the old heave-ho, but not before Edward's scheming nature was revealed to everyone. Now we're down to eleven and anyone can go home, let's watch and see how it plays out."
(Theme Song Plays…)
(Girls' Cabin)
The girls were just finishing getting dressed as the sun shone through the windows.
"Alright, girls, we've all discussed looking out for each other," Nicole declared. "I think it's time we became a full-fledged alliance. We'll work together and pick off our enemies as a team."
"Alright," Annie exclaimed eagerly.
"Sounds like fun, right," Montana agreed.
"I'm all for it," Beatrice added. "That is, if you girls will have me."
"Don't worry, we can put our differences aside to accomplish this," Nicole declared.
"Can I just make a suggestion, though?" Montana asked. "I'd like to keep Parry safe for now. He's a nice guy, and I think getting eliminated would just make him even more depressed."
"Ooh, right, we shouldn't vote off Lionel or Eliot either," Beatrice added.
Nicole rolled her eyes as she sighed, "Ladies, this is the girls' alliance. Key word, girls. We can't protect every guy you like or have a crush on."
"But I think we can all agree on who we'll be voting off first," Annie declared. "Edward. You've all seen how horrible he is now."
"Right," Nicole said without much conviction.
"Nicole," Annie scolded angrily, "you can't still think that he'd make a good ally. You saw how he used Victoria."
"Right, right," Nicole just muttered absentmindedly. "Well, we can discuss more later tonight. I'm going to take a morning walk before Chris forces us into another challenge."
As Nicole left, she realized that Sooz hadn't gotten out of her bed. She was lying down with her eyes glued to her phone.
"Sooz, are you sure you don't want to be a part of our alliance?" Nicole asked.
"Huh?" Sooz mumbled as she reluctantly pulled away from her phone.
"Our alliance," Nicole repeated with frustration.
"Uh, nope," Sooz answered. "But have fun with that."
Nicole just shook her head as she departed.
Confessional:
Sooz-If I join an alliance that means that I'm against everyone not in that alliance. That's a real good way to make enemies; and I'd probably be the first one voted off if those girls somehow manage to make it to the end. Nope, I'll just stick with my phone and no one will have any reason to vote me off…Low battery! What is wrong with you, you piece of junk!
Nicole-Sooz is making a mistake, by being an outsider she'll become an easy target once things get intense. But it's Edward who's really on my mind. He's desperate now and I'm sure I can get him on my side; as nice as those girls are, none of them have the killer instinct that Edward does.
(The Beach)
Edward had gotten up early and left behind his cabin. The guys had been giving him dirty looks lately, even Ethan didn't want to be around him anymore. He remember how they had tormented Parry and he had a dreadful feeling that he would be next. But for now he could relax on the beach…or at least he thought.
"Good morning, Edward," Nicole exclaimed as she walked up behind him.
Edward mumbled a greeting in response.
"I figured you be out here," Nicole continued. "This seems to be your spot. It was where I first noticed you and Victoria hanging out. That was very clever, how you manipulated her."
"What do you want?" Edward snapped.
"There's no need to be angry, I want us to work together," Nicole explained. "I've got the girls following my lead, and you seem to be the best strategist out here. If we work together, we could be the final two."
"That's a nice offer, Nicole," Edward exclaimed regaining a bit of his poise. "But I'm not sure if I want to accept."
"You do," Nicole insisted. "You're not going to find any other allies after what we saw at the last elimination. And Annie has been eager to get you out for a long time, and now she has the chance."
"I'll think about it," Edward said with distaste.
Confessional:
Edward-Well, Nicole basically confirmed my fear that she'll unite the girls. And now she thinks that she has me in her palm. She's smart, I'll give her that, but she can't expect me to fully trust her, and she most certainly can't trust me. I suppose as a last resort she could be useful, but first I'd like to see what else I have to work with.
Nicole-Edward is smart to be cautious, but he's going to have to accept my offer soon if he wants to stay safe. I can't protect him after telling Montana and Beatrice that they couldn't protect any of the guys. Let's just hope he's smart enough to come around.
(Boys' Cabin)
The boys could not be more divided. In one corner Bobby was sitting and making new blueprints and designs, in another corner Parry was moping, and it a third corner Ethan was watching dust flutter in the light. The only two who could be considered somewhat close were Lionel and Eliot who were both standing in the middle of the room.
"Wake up, Eddie," Lionel exclaimed as he kicked Edward's bed.
However, the only things in the bed were pillows and blankets.
"Where is he?" Lionel said.
"I think he went for a walk earlier this morning," Eliot answered. "Why are you looking for him?"
"So, I can make him pay for what he did to Victoria," Lionel replied fierily. "He lied to her and hurt her; he deserves to suffer for that."
"You're fixation on Victoria, even after she made it clear that she isn't interested, is borderline disturbing," Eliot observed. "In fact, there is a breed of alien female that she incense males and keep them infatuated no matter what."
"Really?" Lionel asked.
"Yes, then they devour their bodies," Eliot concluded.
"Ew," Lionel exclaimed.
"That story actually bears a universal truth," Parry added. "Any feelings of love will only end up devouring your soul."
"Hey, can I say something?" Ethan asked wanting in on the conversation.
"No, Ethan, you cannot," Lionel declared. "I'm done talking about…I don't even know what."
From his corner Bobby grinned.
Confessional:
Bobby-This is great, the guys are at each other's throats and I don't even have to do anything. It should be easy enough to get Edward to vote for Lionel, and the other three are crazy and will be easily persuaded.
Lionel-I thought that when I got rid of Sophie, everything could go back to be mellow, but now I see that Edward might be just as bad. He's a lying sneak, and he clearly doesn't feel guilty about anything. I'll fix that.
Ethan-Gee, I don't like all the negative going on, man. I mean, Edward was pretty uncool with what he said about Victoria, but maybe it's time to forgive and forget, you know.
(Mess Hall)
The girls-minus Sooz-were happily talking together as they ate breakfast. Montana was telling a story of the time when she went to the Sydney Opera House (because she's Australian, right), while Beatrice and Annie listened and laughed. Nicole was also smiling and nodding, but seemed to have her mind elsewhere. Sooz, as usual, was avidly texting on her phone.
The guys, on the other hand, looked like they were ready to blow. Edward sat by himself and was constantly looking up nervously. He was right to be weary, as Lionel was getting ready to flick a pile of whatever breakfast was at him.
"You going to eat that?" Ethan exclaimed as Lionel aimed at Edward.
Before Lionel could reply, Ethan scooped up the sludge with his fork and swallowed it himself.
"Campers!" Chris bellowed as he entered the room. "Are you ready for another wonderful challenge?"
He was met with various unenthusiastic moans, except for Montana who cheered, "Yes!"
"Glad someone respects what I do," Chris mumbled to Chef. "Anyways, today's challenge is the treasure hunt. Throughout the island are eleven keys, one for each of you. They will open a chest which will give you a reward. They could be something luxurious such as dinner prepared by Momma DJ, or something mediocre like the kitchen sink. However, one chest contains immunity."
"Wait a minute," Nicole exclaimed. "That means that there's no skill involved in getting immunity, it's just luck."
"Of course, if all of our challenges were based on skill…well let's just say some of you would have left a long time ago," Chris replied while gesturing at Ethan. "Now, here is a set of instructions for each of you. Follow them and you should find your key, but be warned, there are many dangerous obstacles that you'll have to overcome."
The campers dispersed as they headed outside.
"Do you want us to stick together?" Annie asked Nicole.
"You don't have to," Nicole said. "This challenge seems straightforward enough and we can work faster if we split up. Also, I'm not stopping you from hanging out with your guy friends, just be ready to vote one of them off tonight."
Montana happily skipped over to Parry while Beatrice approached Eliot.
"Hi, Eliot, I hope you're not still mad about…that incident," Beatrice said.
"No, there are more pressing matters," Eliot replied.
"Aliens?" Beatrice guessed.
"Yes, but also winning the challenge, so shall we work together?" Eliot said.
Meanwhile, Montana was trying to convince Parry to try.
"Come on, Parry, you have to give it a shot," Montana prodded.
"There's really no point," Parry insisted. "Why should I endanger myself to get a prize that only has a one in eleven chance of being immunity?
"For the thrill of the challenge, right," Montana laughed.
"Sorry, I didn't come out here for thrills," Parry replied.
Confessional:
Nicole-It's nice that the girls see me as a leader, but I don't want them to think of me as a dictator. I'm not going to control who they talk with, just so long as they're willing to vote when I tell them to.
Montana-Even if it only is a one in eleven chance, Parry needs to try or else he could end up a target our new alliance.
Parry-It's nice of Montana to once again try and help me out, but this challenge is just all around pointless. Someone random who managed to get a key will be getting immunity; even if I got a key, my luck wouldn't let me be the winner.
(The Kitchen)
Bobby's clue had directed him to Chef's kitchen.
"Um, I'm looking for a key," he told Chef.
"I got your key right here," Chef exclaimed as he heaved a large pot onto the counter.
The pot was full of swirling, bubbling brown gunk.
"What…is that?" Bobby said while gagging.
"To be honest, I don't really remember," Chef confessed. "I think it was supposed to be some sort of chili. Now reach in and grab your key."
"Actually, I think I've got just the thing for this," Bobby exclaimed as he pulled a thin, metal rod out of his coat.
He pressed a button and a pair of pinchers emerged from the rod. He dipped his gadget into the chili and moved it around the pot. Eventually he came in contact with something and pulled it.
"Too easy," he exclaimed as he pocketed his key.
(The Woods)
Many of the campers had spread out into the woods to search for their keys. Nicole followed the directions on her sheet of instruction and soon came to a tall tree. She looked up and saw that there was a copper key hanging from the highest branch.
"Alright, seems simple," she told herself as she started climbing up the branches.
Making sure she did not look down Nicole made quick progress as she scaled the tree. Soon the key was just in her reach. She stretched out her hand and grabbed it. Then she heard the ominous sound of a branch snapping. Before she could react she shot downward. She managed to grab onto another branch quickly, but she was not in a good position now.
"Hello! Someone…anyone?" she cried as she hung from the branch.
She didn't have the best grip, but she knew that if she let go she still had quite a way to fall. She closed her eyes and moaned to herself. Then she noticed Sooz walking by.
"Sooz!" she shouted.
"Uh-huh," Sooz muttered into her phone. "Right…well, if you ask me, that chemistry test was fixed…I don't care if you passed, Mr. Richter is still out to get me…"
"Sooz, help!" Nicole shouted louder.
"I'm on the phone," Sooz scoffed in exasperation. "This had better be an emergency."
"It is!" Nicole snapped. "My arms feel like they're going to snap off in second. Can you give me a hand?"
"Hm…uh, no," Sooz responded as she returned to her phone and left Nicole.
"Come back!" Nicole wailed.
Confessional:
Nicole-(she is covered in bruises) What is Sooz's problem? I mean, if she doesn't want to work with me, fine; but she could have at least tried to help.
Sooz-I know what you're thinking, 'How is ignoring Nicole staying under the radar?' well the way I see it, if I helped her then some of her enemies would see me as their enemy as well; so I might as well leave her there and not put myself in any physical risk.
"We've got to be getting close," Beatrice told Eliot as they walked through the forest.
"Perhaps we should split up for a bit," Eliot suggested.
Beatrice nodded and the two went in their separate directions. Eliot began exploring through some of the thick shrubbery. As he made his way through the bushes he accidentally bumped into someone. He leaped back in shock.
"Oops, sorry about that, man," Ethan apologized.
Eliot noticed that Ethan was holding a variety of colourful flowers in his hand.
"Does your clue have something to do with flowers?" Eliot asked.
"My what now?" Ethan asked.
"Uh, never mind," Eliot said. "So, what's with the flowers?"
"Oh, I was just working on a collection," Ethan explained. "This island has some of the most exotic types I've ever seen. Here, want a Twilight Lily, I already have one of those."
Ethan handed the amber flower to Eliot who examined it suspiciously.
"Well, I'm off, those flowers won't collect themselves," Ethan exclaimed.
Eliot turned around, only to come face to face with Beatrice.
"Hey, I think I found—" she began before spotting the flower. "For me? You shouldn't have."
"Careful with that," Eliot cautioned as she took the flower from him, "many aliens use pretty items to lure their prey in close."
"I'll keep that in mind," Beatrice laughed, "but I think I found your key."
She guided him back the way she had come. She stopped at a tree that had a swarming bees' nest in it.
"Yeah, the bees might be a problem, but I'm certain I saw your key in there," Beatrice explained.
"Alright, let's just take baby steps," Eliot suggested as he carefully made his way forward.
Beatrice followed behind tentatively; however, once she got close enough, the bees immediately darted for her flower. Beatrice screamed and bolted in the other direction.
"Thanks, Beatrice," Eliot called as he reached into the tree and pulled out his key.
(Elsewhere)
Edward's clue told him that his key was in Molotov's cave. He took one look inside the dark, foreboding cavern and immediately recoiled. He could hear the bear's ferocious snoring and he knew that it wasn't worth it.
"I saw what happened to Owen when he tried this," Edward muttered to himself.
"Out of the way, cheater!" Annie snarled as she shoved him aside and rushed past him.
Instead of going inside of the cave, though, she started climbing up the mountain.
"And besides, Chris didn't say anything about stealing other keys," Edward declared deviously as he watched Annie climb.
"Explain to me why Malcolm can't just take a retest," Sooz muttered to her phone as she wandered into the vicinity. "Ugh, that's not a reason, it's an excuse."
"Sooz, so glad to see you," Edward exclaimed as he approached her.
"Hang on, Benny, I think some dork is trying to talk to me," Sooz said. "What?"
"Well, I was just noticing how you don't seem too close to the other girls," Edward said. "I figured you might need a friend."
"I prefer my friends to be heard and not seen," Sooz pointed out as she raised her phone.
Edward walked with Sooz as she continued to explore the forest.
"Well, we don't have to be friends then, but you might want to vote with me," Edward persisted. "Nicole is the ringleader of the girls and she could very easily take control of the whole game. You and me could work together and knock her out before that happens."
"Eh, maybe," Sooz shrugged. "Aha, there's my key."
Edward spotted something sparkling in a swampy part of the island. It was surrounded by muck.
"This'll just take a second," Sooz exclaimed as she took a step forward.
Immediately she was swallowed up by the bog. Edward looked out at the key, then back to the spot where Sooz had just been standing moments ago.
"Again, not worth it," he concluded.
Confessional:
Sooz-(she is covered in mud) The way I see it, I've already pissed off Nicole, so I might as well unite with Edward and vote her off. But this won't be a permanent thing, I don't need anyone to keep me safe.
Edward-Sooz is probably my best bet. She's so out of it, and she's the only girl that it isn't in Nicole's grip. I just might be able to catch Miss Smartypants off guard.
(The Beach)
Lionel's clue directed him to the water. He had spent the last bit of time swimming through the water trying to spot his key. He surfaced and took another deep breath. He submerged himself and floated through the water looking in all directions for something to catch his eye. Once more he surfaced.
"Come on, it's got to be somewhere," he moaned.
"Having troubles?" Bobby mocked from the beach.
"Beat it, nerd, I'm saving my strength for Edward," Lionel snapped.
"Oh well, I've got something that I wanted to show you," Bobby giggled sadistically as he pulled out a ringed orb.
"What're you going to do? Create an earthquake? A black hole?" Lionel retorted.
Bobby just shook his head and scoffed, "Poor typical jock, not brains to respect the genius of what I've done. Maybe you'll appreciate it more after a demonstration."
Bobby flicked a switch on the orb and it emitted a low hum. Lionel looked quizzical, but soon felt something different about the water. He realized that a swarm of all sorts of different fish were swimming towards him.
"What the—" he muttered as he saw what was happening.
However he soon yelped it pain as the aquatic creatures began biting as his feet and legs.
"It uses sound waves to infuriate the fish and convince them that you're the enemy," Bobby explained smugly.
"Nice trick," Lionel said with a cocky grin, "but it'll take more than some feisty fish to get me scared."
As soon as he spoke he realized that there was a much large shadow moving towards him. He remembered the first challenge when Chris had explained that the water was full of ferocious creatures. He quickly swam back to shore. A second later a shark surface and chomped down where Lionel had just been.
"That's it, I'm gonna kill you!" Lionel exclaimed as he charged at Bobby.
Bobby just remained still and smiled challengingly. Lionel grabbed him by the jacket, then immediately recoiled.
"So predictable," Bobby cackled. "In case your inferior brain is having difficulty processing what happened: I added a shock feature to the inside of my jacket; you touch me, you get zapped."
"Well, I'm betting you don't have any tricks to keep me from punching your face in," Lionel challenged.
"Oh, really?" Bobby exclaimed as he raised his watch.
"What's that? Your forcefield projector?" Lionel asked.
"It's a watch, you dummy," Bobby scoffed. "And judging by it, you're running out of time to find your key."
Lionel growled and shoved Bobby to the ground before returning to the sea.
Confessional:
Lionel-(He is covered in bites and shock marks) Bobby is dead. He can't really expect to stay after the way he acts.
Bobby-I broke Sophie, I think I can break Lionel; with his brain capacity he shouldn't half as hard as Sophie was.
(The Woods)
"Hellooo!" Nicole moaned. "My arms are killing me! Help!"
A small distance away, Montana was rushing through the woods eagerly. She stopped at a large dead tree and looked down. She could see the edge of her key. She happily reached down, but cried out in pain when she did. She winced and tried to ignore the pain as she pulled up the key. When she did, she saw that her arm was covered in ants swarming on her.
"Ack!" she cried. "Get off, get off, get off!"
She shook her arm back and forth frantically as the ants continued to bite her. After a painful process of flinging her arm in all directions, she recovered her arm. Although, it was very red and very swollen.
"Well, that's pleasant," she scoffed sarcastically. "Now, to find a key for Parry."
In another part of the woods, Beatrice and Eliot had reunited. Beatrice had a few stings from the bees, but had got off mostly unharmed.
"Thanks for sticking with me, Eliot," Beatrice said, "even after finding your key."
"Being alone in the woods is a very bad idea," Eliot insisted. "If you were abducted, no one would know."
"Nice to know that someone cares," Beatrice giggled. "Oh, I think my key is just right through here."
The two passed through some bushes and came about a very thick bramble of thorns.
"It's in there?" Eliot asked uncertainly.
"I guess so," Beatrice replied. "So…is there anything alien about thorns?"
"Not to my knowledge," Eliot replied.
"Well then, I guess we have nothing to worry about," Beatrice laughed as she dived into the brambles.
Eliot smiled and followed after her.
Confessional:
Beatrice-(She is covered in thorns) Eliot is a really good friend, when I'm with him, it's like, I forget about worrying if I'd make a good friend. Isn't that weird?
Eliot-(He is also covered in thorns) While I'm always thinking about aliens-doing otherwise would be a huge risk-being with Beatrice does help to relieve some of my apprehension.
(The Mountain)
Annie pulled herself up the rocky surface. Her dress was getting further ripped and dirtied, but she had long stopped worrying about it. A cold gust of wind blew through her hair and dress. She clenched her teeth and continued to climb with determination. Eventually she spotted something sparkling in a crevice. She grinned and reached out to grab it. Sure enough, she had found her key.
"Yes!" she cheered as she started to climb back down the mountain.
The descent was much easier than the way up. Soon she had landed back on the ground.
"Victory for Annie!" she cheered.
"Yoink!" someone exclaimed as he key was swiped from her grip.
"What?" she twirled around to see Edward holding her key smugly. "Hand it over!"
"Now why would I do that?" Edward taunted.
"It's mine," Annie snapped. "Go find your own."
"I'd rather not," Edward replied as he headed back toward camp.
"Get back here you!" Annie shouted as she charged after him.
As Edward ran he soon passed Nicole.
"Oh, Edward," Nicole called, "I could use a—"
Edward kept moving as if he hadn't heard her. Annie followed after him.
"Annie, I'm so glad you're here," Nicole exclaimed. "Could you—"
Annie didn't break her pursuit.
"Anyone!" Nicole shrieked.
Finally her arms gave way. She soared down towards the ground. However, her fall was cushioned as she landed on Ethan.
"Oh, thank you!" she exclaimed with extreme relief, then realizing that she had crushed Ethan, "Oh, sorry about that. Are you okay?"
"I feel a little dizzy," Ethan mumbled as he rubbed his head.
(The Beach)
The sun was getting ready to set as Eliot and Beatrice returned to the beach. Both of them had thorns sticking out all over them, but they held their keys triumphantly.
"We did it!" Beatrice exclaimed. "Just think, tonight I could finally get a chance to try Momma DJ's famous cuisine."
Over in the water, Lionel was still searching for his key. Bobby was taking much amusement in doing whatever he could to torment his nemesis. He grinned maliciously as he dropped another one of his inventions in the water.
"Hey, loser, I think I see it over there," Bobby shouted.
Lionel turned to the direction to where he had pointed and cried out in pain again.
"Oops, my bad, that was my jellyfish simulator," Bobby laughed.
"It won't be so funny when I attach it to your face," Lionel threatened.
"Tick tock, tick tock," Bobby taunted.
Beatrice saw this and scowled as she exclaimed, "How dare he do that to my 'just friend?'"
She marched towards Bobby menacingly.
"Actually, I think we're going to have to fight brains with brains if we're going to have a chance and helping out Lionel," Eliot said. "And I think I have an idea."
Eliot guided Beatrice off to the cabins, while Bobby readied another attack. He pulled out a pistol, similar to the one that Beatrice had frozen Victoria with. He grinned again and fired a beam at Lionel. Another shock when through Lionel's back as he groaned.
"Hm, that wasn't quite what I wanted," Bobby muttered to himself. "I'll have to see if I can rebuild this one."
"I was saving this in case robotic aliens attacked," Eliot explained as he handed something to Beatrice, "but it should help disrupt his devices."
"Let's see what else I have in my bag of tricks," Bobby cackled.
"You leave him alone!" Beatrice cried as she wielded a massive magnet threateningly.
She swung the magnet back and forth wildly.
"What are you doing?" Bobby snapped as he heard the crackling sound of his gadgets breaking down.
Suddenly several devices flung out of his pockets and attached themselves to the magnet. It didn't stop there, though, several robotics shot out of the water and were pulled towards the magnet.
"Wow, I didn't realize how strong it was," Eliot exclaimed.
The final object to be pulled in by the magnet was a small copper key.
"Lionel, we have your key!" Beatrice called out.
Lionel happily left behind the water and grabbed the key from Beatrice.
"Awesome work," he laughed.
"Hey, what's a 'just friend' for?" Beatrice replied.
"Now, I've got a nerd to pummel," Lionel declared murderously.
"Well…you could do that," Beatrice said mischievously. "But wouldn't you rather use one of these?"
She held up the pile of contraptions that the magnet had pulled in.
"I'm outta here," Bobby exclaimed frantically as he ran in the opposite direction.
(The Woods)
Montana climbed up another tree. The sun was beginning to set, but she was refusing to give up. Once she reached the top, she found herself in a large bird's nest. The key was wedged between two eggs.
"Gotcha!" she exclaimed as she reached out to grab it.
However she was interrupted by an angry hawk pecking at her violently. Montana growled and swiped up the key as the hawk charged at her again. Montana backed up along the branch and jumped down. She gripped onto the branch and managed to weight it down. Once she started to let go, she was launched forward like a slingshot.
"Bye-bye, birdie," she laughed as she soared over the woods.
She then came crashing down into the water with a massive splash.
"Alright, campers, time's up!" Chris exclaimed. "If you did not obtain a key, then no treasure for you."
Montana smiled and tossed a key to Parry, "Here you go."
"Uh…thanks," Parry said with a faint smile.
"Chris!" Annie exclaimed as she ran onto beach. "Edward stole my key."
"He did? Good for him," Chris replied.
"You're just going to let him get away with this?" Annie asked in disgust. "But I'm the one that got the key."
"And you're the one who lost the key," Chris pointed out. "Now, let's see what treasures we have in store for you."
(Later)
Chris had pulled out the collection of treasure chests. All of the campers had gathered around, most of them were twirling keys proudly.
"Well, it was quite the challenge," Chris remarked. "Most of you did not escape unscathed."
He gestured at Nicole and Ethan who were both bruised, Lionel and Bobby were with covered with burns and bruise, Beatrice and Eliot who were afflicted with bee stings and brambles, Montana whose arm was scarlet and swollen, and lastly, Sooz who was covered from head to toe with mud.
"Annie, Ethan, and Sooz," Chris said. "The three of you did not find any keys. Therefore you do not get any treasure."
"Wait…was this a challenge?" Ethan asked cluelessly.
Chris just shook his head and said, "But the rest of you can help yourself to these chests."
The campers with keys started trying out different chests to find the one that matched their key.
"Aha!" Montana exclaimed. "What did I get, right?"
She held up and incredibly thick book marked, 'Dictionary of Total Drama Terms.'
"Ooh, that'll come in handy," Chris exclaimed. "Now you can understand all the terms like 'challenge' and 'immunity.'"
"Thanks, Chris," Montana said in an unamused tone.
"I got a ticket of some sort," Beatrice exclaimed. "It's got a picture of bread on it."
"I got one too," Parry added.
"Ah, those are two passes to Momma DJ's diner," Chris exclaimed. "It'll be here for one night only."
Beatrice grinned and clapped her hands giddily.
Parry glanced at her and remarked, "Could be worse."
"A toaster?" Eliot exclaimed quizzically.
"Well, it's not quite as glamorous as Momma DJ's cooking, but nothing beats toast in the morning," Chris exclaimed.
Eliot eyed his toasters as if it might attack him and put it off to the side.
"Chris, we have a problem," Bobby declared. "My key doesn't fit in any of the chest."
"Ah, looks like you got the dud key," Chris pointed out. "So no treasure for you."
"Ha, sucks to be you, chump," Lionel laughed as he opened his chest and revealed a ticket with a water drop on it.
"Hey, I got the same one," Nicole exclaimed.
"Yep, you two have one passes to the luxury showers for one night," Chris exclaimed.
"Yes," Lionel cheered. "After a decent shower I'll finally be gorgeous enough for all the ladies here."
He winked at Nicole who just rolled in her eyes.
"Well, would you look at that, immunity," Edward exclaimed smugly as he held up a golden Chris head idol.
"Congratulations, Edward, you are immune from votes tonight," Chris declared.
Annie's face turned deep red and she looked like she was ready to explode.
"That should be my immunity!" she barked.
"Well, it's not, now get voting," Chris ordered.
(Campfire Ceremony)
"Welcome to your second campfire ceremony as a merged team," Chris greeted. "We had a lot of laughs today, but in the end someone is going home. But it won't be today's winner, Edward."
Edward shot at smug grin at his opponents as he grabbed his marshmallow.
"And we've got a special marshmallow for…Montana," Chris continued, "Parry and…Annie."
They each smiled as they collected their marshmallows.
"Ethan…Eliot….and Beatrice," Chris announced.
That just left Sooz, Nicole, Lionel and Bobby. Bobby and Lionel were glaring at each other, Nicole was smiling confidently, and Sooz, of course, was tapping away on her phone.
"Lionel, you are also safe," Chris continued.
Bobby cursed to himself.
"So, that just leaves the three of you," Chris declared. "Our two techies, Sooz and Bobby, and powerhouse, Nicole. You must be doing something wrong since one of you is going home tonight."
Bobby and Nicole both showed signs of being nervous; Sooz remained oblivious.
"Not going home tonight is…Bobby!" Chris exclaimed.
Nicole showed utter surprise now. She looked around worriedly as the girls shrugged at her.
"The final marshmallow goes to," Chris concluded, "…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Nicole."
Nicole breathed a sigh of relief.
"Sooz, it's time for you to go," Chris declared.
Sooz showed no sign of acknowledgment.
"Sooz!" Chris bellowed.
"Huh, is elimination time over?" she exclaimed. "Who's going home?"
"You!" Chris declared.
"Oh," Sooz sighed. "That sucks."
No one seemed to disappointed to see Sooz walk down the Dock of Shame and board the Boat of Losers.
"Well, that about does it for today," Chris exclaimed. "You may head back to your cabins…unless, of course, you won an award for the night."
(Mess Hall)
Parry and Beatrice entered the mess hall to find that someone had done a complete renovation of it. Fancy curtain hung around the window, a chandelier with candles hung in the center of the room, fancy tables and chairs had been scattered throughout the room.
"Welcome to Momma DJ's diner," Greta exclaimed in a waitress outfit. "My name's Greta and I'll be your server tonight."
"Hi, Greta!" Beatrice exclaimed.
"Yeah, hi," Parry muttered.
"I've got two appetizers up," Momma DJ exclaimed from the back window.
"Oh, you're going to love these," Greta exclaimed as she grabbed the two platters and placed them in front of the two campers.
Beatrice eagerly dug into the bread and fruits that had been set up for her. Parry tried them tentatively, but once he got started he actually smiled.
(The Shower)
Nicole carried her towel over to the pristine white building off to the side of the campsite. Usually this bathroom was reserved for Chris, but tonight Nicole was going to get a chance to enjoy them. She groaned as she realized that it was still locked.
"Come on, you've been in there for hours," she complained as she slammed on the door.
Lionel, however, was just about to open the door and exit. This resulted in the door crashing into Nicole's face and knocking her against the wall. Lionel, who was wearing nothing more than a towel, gasped when he realized what had happened.
"Sorry, are you okay," he exclaimed nervously as he kneeled down.
Having let go of his towel he was very uncovered now.
"Ugh, my nose," Nicole moaned as she wiped as some blood from where her nose had been crushed.
She then realized that she was looking at a practically naked Lionel and blushed.
"Uh…maybe you should put a little more clothes on," she said.
Lionel looked down and pulled up his towel awkwardly.
"Sorry, sorry," he apologized as he went back into the bathroom.
Confessional:
Nicole-I am not in any way attracted to Lionel. And even if I was, I'm not going to let that get in my way. I am playing a logical, strategic game, I have no need for emotion and physical desires.
Votes:
Nicole-I've decided that Sooz needs to go. She really should have accepted my offer, but I see now that she's nothing by a nuisance.
Edward-Well, I've done all I can to get people to vote for Nicole. At least I don't have to worry about myself for once.
Bobby-I told some of the guys to vote off Lionel after how violent he was acting today. I may have stretched the truth a little, but they don't need to know that.
Lionel-Edward's lucky he's immune, but that's okay with me, it's time for Bobby to pay.
Annie-Oh, I hate that Edward so much. But since he's immune, Nicole suggests that we vote for Sooz. I have no problem with that.
Ethan-Edward says that I should vote for Nicole. I know that Edward isn't exactly trustworthy, but he's still my friend.
Parry-Montana told me that the girls are voting for Sooz, but Bobby told me that the guys are voting for Lionel. Personally I'd rather see Lionel gone, so I guess I'll side with the guys this time.
Eliot-It's pretty clear that Bobby is nothing but trouble after today; I always knew that he was bad news.
Sooz-Well, I'll go with Edward this time. If Nicole goes I don't have to worry about her targeting me.
Beatrice-I'd rather vote for Bobby after what he did to Lionel, but Nicole says were voting for Sooz and I guess it's my duty as an alliance-member to go along with the plan.
Montana-Sorry, Sooz, you're just not a team player, right.
(Conclusion)
"So we come to the end of another day," Chris announced. "Some, like Beatrice, got the reward they deserved; others, like Montana, did not. Alliances are forming with the girls, and vendettas are forming with the guys…and the girls. Who will be targeting next? Will we be seeing the end to major players like Edward and Nicole, or will it be another under the radar player like Ethan or Parry? Come back next week and find out on Total…Drama…Refresh!"
Voted Off List: Ezmyralda, Jasmine, Tony, Greta, Matthew, Michael, Brady, Dirk, Victoria, Momma DJ, Sophie, Victoria (again), Sooz
Author's Note: Once again, sorry for another wait, this'll probably be a recurring thing from now on so get used to it. Anyways, Sooz is gone now. Sooz was originally my favorite and I was going to have her win back in the planning stage, but I soon realized that she would become flat and a little repetitive so I decided to give her an early post-merge boot. Last, but not least, don't forget to vote for your prediction on my poll.
