"Previously on Total Drama Refresh," Chris announced, "it was a hunt for treasure…well, for some it was treasure, for others it was just some uselessly crud. Nicole solidified her alliance with the girls, except for Sooz, but when has she ever done anything? Nicole also tried to make a side deal with Edward. Edward may have been in a bad situation, but he still wasn't ready to trust Nicole. After painful searching, the campers received their prizes, with Edward getting the grand prize of immunity. At elimination, Sooz was voted off for not joining Nicole's alliances…and for being an all-around prick. So, who's next to go? What rivalries will continue to escalate? And can Edward keep himself safe for another day? All that is coming up right now!"
(Theme Song Plays…)
(The Beach)
Edward was taking another walk along the beach. He quite enjoyed the splashing waves and melting sunrise, it gave him a calm time to think. Unfortunately, that was once again broken as Nicole showed up behind him.
"Well?" she stretched up expectantly.
"What?" Edward sighed with irritation.
"Have you decided that you need me?" Nicole asked.
"I didn't need you last time," Edward pointed out.
Nicole shook her head and sighed, "You won one immunity in a luck based challenge. Do you really think that you can pull through the more physical challenges? You'll be up against Lionel and Montana…not to mention Montana has been eager to take Parry and Annie under her wing."
"Nicole, don't underestimate me," Edward replied. "There are more than one ways to win this game. The longer I stay here, the better chance I have. I'm an influential kind of person, I've already got Ethan to forgive me. Soon I'll be in full power again."
"Assuming you're not voted off tonight," Nicole retorted.
Confessional:
Edward-Alright, I'm a little worried, but I can't let Nicole see that. If I reveal that I need help, she'll have me trapped.
Nicole-(smiling smugly) He needs me.
Nicole left Edward and headed back to the cabin. However, on the way there, she ran into someone else.
"Well, well, look who it," Lionel exclaimed smugly as he approached Nicole. "Morning, beautiful."
"Ugh, can you please leave me alone?" Nicole said in disgust.
"What's the matter? Only like me with my clothes off?" Lionel taunted.
Nicole looked at his shirtless body and short shorts and replied, "Something tells me that's not the case. Now would you please just let it go?"
"I saw your face, you want me," Lionel persisted.
"You must have mistaken my expression of pain from having a door slammed in my face," Nicole retorted angrily.
"You're getting pretty defensive…that's a good sign," Lionel declared.
Nicole kicked Lionel in the shin with fury before marching back to her cabin.
Confessional:
Lionel-Do I want Nicole? Meh, maybe, but there's just something hot about a girl who plays hard to get.
Nicole-Lionel is the most immature person I have ever met. Of course when you've got a body that gorgeous girls are going to blush and swoon! But…I'm not making a very good case for myself, am I?
(The Girls' Cabin)
"Wow, can you believe it?" Annie exclaimed. "There's only four girls left in the show, and it's all of us!"
"I think that we deserve it, right," Montana replied. "You've come a long way from the girl who was too nervous to jump in the water."
Annie shrugged with a smile as she said, "That girl would never have stood a chance at the million dollars. It's a good thing you helped me out when you did."
"You were both very impressive, I haven't really done anything too special," Beatrice said.
"Don't be modest," Montana argued. "You won the very first solo immunity challenge, right; that took some skill."
"If we all make it to the finals, I would have no problem losing to any of you," Annie exclaimed.
"You guys are too kind," Beatrice laughed.
Confessional:
Montana-Annie thanks me for helping her become a stronger competitor, right, but she should be thanking Edward. It was her rivalry with him that really turned her into the girl that she is today, right.
Beatrice-Going to the final four with my girls' alliance would be cool and all, but I may have to let them down eventually. Eliot has become a really good friend, and I could still never vote off Lionel.
(The Boys' Cabin)
Bobby had gathered the other three boys around him for a discussion.
"Alright guys, both of the blockheads are gone for now, we can finally talk some real strategy," Bobby declared. "Both of them are trouble, so I think that the next chance we get we should take one of them out. It'll help us all sleep easier at night."
"You shouldn't pick on Edward, man," Ethan defended. "He's actually a really nice guy."
"I wasn't planning on taking out Edward yet, it's Lionel I want gone," Bobby explained.
The boys nodded cautiously.
"Parry, you of all people should want Lionel out of here," Bobby persuaded as he pulled Parry in closer. "He's been nothing but a bully to you. To both of us."
"I seriously don't care," Parry replied.
"How can you not care?" Bobby insisted with a hint of annoyance.
"Humans are selfish creatures," Parry explained solemnly. "The way Lionel is acting should not be surprising in the world we live in."
"You can't say all humans are selfish, man," Ethan pointed out. "What about Montana?"
Parry looked awkward at that comment but answered, "Perhaps there are…some exceptions…but the fact remains that the amount of negative souls far outweighs the positives."
Confessional:
Eliot-Hm, very interesting. I don't know if I should be trusting Bobby, he still has some very suspicious tendencies. But then again, if the guys are targeting themselves, that means that Beatrice is safe (sighs lovingly)…ahem, and that's good because…Beatrice is a nice person.
Bobby-It's time for Lionel to go. I don't care what Parry says, he has to hate him. Ethan will probably stick by me as long as I don't target his buddy, and Eliot…I have no idea what that guy is thinking.
Ethan-Edward is my friend, and friendship means a lot to me. He needs to rely on me to keep him safe for now.
(Dock of Shame)
"Campers, so glad you could make it," Chris greeted as the ten campers arrived at the dock. "Today's challenge will have you running and hiding for your lives as you are chased by the ultimate hunter."
"You brought a bloodhound to the island?" Ethan exclaimed. "That's so cool, they are one of the world's greatest miracles, they can—"
"No, Ethan, that's not what I meant," Chris snapped. "Behold, the ultimate hunter, Chef!"
Chef stepped forward carrying a water gun with a stern face.
"So, here's how it works," Chris explained. "Chef will do whatever it takes to get you soaked, it's up to you to hide and keep yourself out of Chef's target. Once the sunsets, all you have to do is make it back to the beach and you will have immunity. Also if you are out but you capture someone else for Chef, then you also get immunity. Anything you'd like to add, Chef?"
"You kiddies are going down," he boomed.
Annie and Beatrice glanced at each other nervously. Lionel and Montana, however, both looked confident.
"Bring it on," Lionel challenged.
"Yeah, we can take you!" Montana cheered.
Chef aimed his water gun them threateningly.
"Uh-uh, Chef," Chris chided. "You can drench them all you want after their head start. Oh, by the way, that starts right now, so you'd better find somewhere to hide."
The campers immediately dispersed. The girls stayed mostly together as they entered a part of the forest, while Edward and Ethan entered another part. Lionel went off alone on his own path, and Parry just trailed behind unenthusiastically. The only campers who weren't heading for the forest were Eliot, who hid in the mess hall, and Bobby who was busy fiddling with a remote.
"Alright, ready or not, here I come, maggots!" Chef barked.
Chef barely had to take a few steps forward before he spotted Bobby pressing buttons on a remote. Chef pointed his water gun outward and fired. Bobby was slammed against the cabin wall by the force and absolutely covered in water.
"Tag, you're out," Chef bellowed.
"Oh, what a shame," Bobby remarked smugly.
Confessional:
Bobby-I've been anticipating this challenge for quite some time now. I've already filled the woods with traps and all I had to do was activate them. Someone's bound to fall for one of them and then…hello immunity.
Annie-Gee, this challenge is going to be tough. It's time to put myself to the test, I guess.
Edward-I think that I have a good chance at winning immunity. Unlike last time, more than one person could be getting immunity today.
Chef barged into the mess hall where Eliot had entered not too long ago.
He sniffed the air and declared, "Someone's in my kitchen."
He moved onto the kitchen and swung his water gun in every direction. He didn't see anything. As he examined the shelves closely, Eliot's head poked up from a hatch in the floor. Chef immediately whirled with his gun pointed out. He saw nothing. He approached the hatch and opened it up, only to find a cellar full of sacks. As he investigated the cellar, the refrigerator opened and Eliot managed to creep out unnoticed.
(The Woods)
The girls were dispersed as they ran through the forest. Montana was swinging from the trees, while Beatrice was simply running frantically. Annie was trying to be stealthy by clinging to tree trunks, but her bright pink dress didn't make this easy.
Nicole, bringing out the rear, spotted a small cave and announced, "Girls, time for an alliance meeting."
The four girls turned for the cave and entered.
"Alright, so we need to discuss who we'll be voting off tonight," Nicole said.
"I've said it before and I'll say it again, Edward," Annie insisted.
Nicole countered, "Actually—"
"Oh, come on, you can't keep defending him," Annie protested.
"Let me finish," Nicole said. "Edward's power comes from his influence, which is dwindling as it is. Which is why I suggest that we take out Ethan. He's Edward's only remaining friend and without him Edward won't stand a chance. We'll have the game in our hands."
"What? No!" Annie rejected.
"My plan is perfectly logical," Nicole declared. "What do you have against it?"
"Ethan is a nice guy," Annie said. "He doesn't deserve to be voted off just because he's aligned with Edward."
"Annie, don't you see? Nice guys always manage to get far in this game, Ethan is the biggest threat that there is," Nicole insisted. "Edward doesn't stand a chance, Ethan does."
"I don't care," Annie argued. "I'm not going to vote off a perfectly fine guy for being nice."
"We have an alliance!" Nicole pointed out.
"Really? Is that what this is?" Annie countered. "Because it seems like this is more of a safety net for Nicole to do whatever she wants."
"Um, guys," Beatrice interrupted. "I don't want to break up this confrontation but—Chef!"
Sure enough, the cook was standing at the entrance of the cave with his water gun ready for fire.
"Gotcha cornered now," he cackled.
As he fired, the four girls dived in different directions. Montana leapt over his back, Annie slinked under his arm, and Beatrice slid between his legs. Nicole wasn't as lucky and was drenched.
"You're out, girl!" Chef barked.
Confessional:
Nicole-Things aren't going so smooth today. I knew this alliance would be in trouble if I tried to take too much control, but sometimes you have to take risks for strategy. I may have to cut Annie loose if this keeps up.
Annie-Edward is a liar, a manipulator, he's basically a cheater. Ethan is a sweet guy who's a little clueless at times, but has his heart in the right place. I don't care what the best strategy is, Edward deserves to go.
Lionel rushed through the woods swiftly. He paused to take a quick glance at his surroundings. He could hear the sounds of other campers running in the area, but Chef was nowhere to be seen. Lionel breathed a sigh of relief as he leaned against a tree. The tree immediately let off a high pitched beeping.
"What the hell?" he exclaimed as he back off.
He managed to step out of the way just in time as a net burst of from the tree. Having failed to catch anything, it retracted into the tree. The tree closed up and once again looked perfectly normal. Lionel just stared at it in confusion. However, he glanced back when he heard Parry approaching.
"I dare you to touch that tree," Lionel exclaimed.
"I think I'll pass," Parry replied as he kept walking.
"Loser," Lionel called after him.
Meanwhile, not too far away, Ethan and Edward were walking on their own path.
"So, what would you spend the money on if you won?" Ethan asked.
"I don't know," Edward answered without looking back.
"If I won I think I might buy a hippopotamus," Ethan said. "I mean, I guess I'd also have to buy, like, a pool or something for him. And I don't really know what hippopotamuses eat…maybe I should just move to Africa."
"That's nice," Edward said without any hint of caring.
Ethan fell behind when he heard some rustling in the bushes next to him. He leaned over to investigate and came face to face with Eliot. Eliot made a shushing gesture and Ethan nodded in understanding. Eliot retracted back into the bush and disappeared. Ethan rushed to catch up with Edward who had gotten ahead.
"What kept you?" Edward asked.
"Sorry, I just ran into Eliot," Ethan explained.
"Eliot? I don't see him anywhere around here," Edward pointed out.
"Oh yeah…ugh, I guess you don't," Ethan replied.
Edward just shook his head in frustration. However, at that moment he spotted Montana urgently leaping from branch to branch. Following behind her was Annie was doing a much clumsier style of jumping. When she saw Edward, she stopped.
"Well, look who it is," she sneered. "I just want to say—"
"Annie, you can deal with your rivalry later," Montana urged. "Now we've got to escape, Chef."
"Oh, right," Annie exclaimed. "You're going down Edward!"
The two girls headed off deeper into the woods, leaving Edward and Ethan alone again.
"Hey, did she say that they were escaping Chef?" Edward pointed out.
"Yes, she did!" Chef barked as he stepped forward.
Edward eeped in terror and hid himself behind Ethan. Chef fired at them and hit Ethan straight in the chest. Both of the boys were launched into a nearby tree. Ethan fell forward dizzily, while Edward remained stuck in the tree.
"You're out, hippy boy," Chef declared, "And you—"
"Are perfectly dry," Edward pointed out as he broke free and took off running.
"I'll get you!" Chef exclaimed as he charged after Edward.
However he abruptly stopped as a painful charge was sent through his body. He pulled back and saw that some sort of electronic disc had been left hidden in the ground.
"What is this doing here?" he snapped.
(Later, The Beach)
Time passed and the campers that were still in managed to evade Chef. The three campers who were out had taken to sitting at the beach.
"So, Chef got you too?" Nicole asked Ethan.
"Yeah, but I'm glad that I got to keep Edward safe," Ethan said.
"How come you're not out there helping Chef?" Nicole asked.
"Meh, I don't want to ruin everyone else's chances," Ethan said. "How about you?"
"I'm not exactly the fittest person here," Nicole admitted. "I'd never be able to catch anyone."
"No, no, no!" Bobby pouted from the side.
"Something the matter?" Nicole asked.
"That trap was perfect," Bobby said more to himself than to Nicole. "Never mind, it's not important."
Just then, Beatrice scrambled out of the woods frantically. She spotted the soaked campers and immediately started backing up. She bumped into a canoe and gasped in shock and someone pulled her under. She wound up looking at Eliot.
"Eliot, what's going on?" she exclaimed.
"Shh," Eliot hushed. "Over the weeks I've developed a clandestine network around the island in case of emergency. It's proved to be quite helpful during this challenge, and I thought I'd share it with you."
"Aw, you're so sweet," Beatrice giggled.
Back outside, Chef were firing water and chasing angrily after Montana and Annie.
"Catch us if you can!" Montana laughed as she launched herself onto the roof of the cabin.
Chef bolted after them, kicking over several canoes on his way. The canoes flipped over to reveal nothing. Chef continued to fire at the pair of girls, but only managed to soak the roof as Montana flipped from side to side. Annie was having a harder time keeping her balance and eventually the she lost her footing on the slippery surface. She came tumbling down into the sand in front of Chef.
"Uh," she exclaimed nervously as she put on her best puppy-dog face, "Please don't hurt me, Mr. Chef."
"Sorry, you can either be the tough girl or the cute girl. Not both!" Chef declared as he sprayed her.
"You're defeat will not be in vain!" Montana exclaimed as she leapt back into the trees and returned to the forest.
(The Forest)
Chef and Annie had returned to the woods. Annie had run ahead, but Chef was taking his time as he marched through the forest. He heard a snap from a tree and immediately blasted it with water.
"Got you now, crazy girl!" he exclaimed.
He looked over to see that he had only sprayed an irritated racoon. He growled in frustration and carried on.
"Oh my gosh, look it's Chef!" Beatrice exclaimed from behind him.
Chef whirled around and fired at where the voice had spoken. Beatrice was pulled back down into the bushes.
"We're trying to keep a low profile, remember?" Eliot's voice chided.
Chef marched over to the bushes, but once again, found nothing.
"What is with these kids? They ain't normal," Chef scoffed.
Deeper in the woods, Lionel and Parry had still gone unspotted by Chef. Lionel brushed some branches up of his face, and allowed them to fling back and slap Parry in the face.
"Ow," Parry moaned as he rubbed his eyes.
"Oh, sorry, I forgot you existed for a minute," Lionel retorted mockingly.
"Whatever," Parry scoffed.
As Lionel moved forward, he paused when he noticed something looked unnatural about the clearing in front of him.
"Hey, can you do something useful?" Lionel asked Parry.
"Huh," Parry exclaimed.
"Good," Lionel said as he grabbed Parry and tossed him forward.
Right on a cue, they heard a high pitched beeping and cage launched down towards Parry. He was able to roll out of the way, but not without getting his foot slightly crushed.
"What was that for?" he snapped as he pulled his foot loose.
"You don't matter," Lionel shrugged. "You say so yourself."
"I'd still like a little more warning the next time you're about to throw me at a boobytrap," Parry replied.
"Lighten up," Lionel scoffed as he shoved Parry to the ground.
Parry was clearly annoyed, but he said nothing. The two continued with Parry keeping his distance behind Lionel.
"Aha!" Chef exclaimed as he jumped in front of them.
Lionel ducked just in time to avoid the blast of water. He immediately retreated back the way he came as Chef charged after him. Lionel ended up colliding with Parry suddenly.
"Here, take him instead," Lionel shouted as he grabbed Parry and tossed him towards Chef.
Lionel made his getaway, but Chef drenched Parry.
"Oh, I'm out, didn't see that coming," Parry exclaimed sarcastically.
"Now to get that pretty boy," Chef declared as he followed after Lionel.
"Well, looks like I won't be getting immunity this time," Parry sighed. "Not like I expected I would."
"Parry!" Montana exclaimed as she emerged from a tree.
She leapt down to Parry and pulled him up.
"I was trailing Chef, and I saw what happened, right," she explained. "I cannot believe that Lionel would treat you like that."
"Doesn't matter," Parry said with a shrug. "I expect everyone to treat me like Lionel does. It's in human nature."
"Well, you're not going to let it go, right," Montana said. "You're going to get revenge."
"Revenge is a pointless cycle," Parry retorted.
"What have I been telling you all this time?" Montana exclaimed. "You aren't worthless, you are good person."
"Not really," Parry sighed.
"Yes, you are," Montana insisted. "You never do anything to hurt anybody, right?"
"I guess so," Parry agreed.
"So you shouldn't deserve to be treated like dirt," Montana continued.
"That makes sense," Parry said, "but—"
"So you should go after Lionel and give him what he deserves," Montana concluded.
"Yeah, I should, shouldn't I," Parry agreed.
"Now get up, get out there, and show him what you're made of!" Montana ordered.
"Right!" Parry exclaimed.
Parry then scaled the nearest tree and took off after Lionel. Montana, meanwhile, decided to keep following after Chef.
Elsewhere, Edward had found himself at the base of the mountain. He looked left then right but saw no signs of Chef. The sun had already reached its peak and was now headed on its way down.
"Looks like I'm in the clear," he said to himself.
However, he noticed a blur of pink was approaching him from the woods.
"Or not," he muttered.
"Aha, I've got you now!" Annie exclaimed as she burst out of the bushes.
"You haven't got me yet," Edward corrected as he took off running again.
Annie bolted after him furiously. Edward knew that he had a slim chance of escaping her. Annie had become considerable more fit over her stay at Wawanakwa; Edward had not. As he ran he heard some sort of beeping, but he didn't have time to stop and investigate. As Annie followed over the spot he had just passed, she ended up tumbling down a deep hole.
"What the?" she exclaimed. "How did this get there?"
"Thank you," Edward breathed in relief as he slowed down to a brisk walk.
(The Beach)
"Where are those kids hiding?" Chef grumbled as he searched the beach again.
His ears perked up as he heard the sound of something clanking in his mess hall.
"I've got you this time," he declared as he returned to the kitchen.
Beatrice was just poking out of the hatch in the floor.
"Okay, Eliot, the coast is clear," she announced.
"Ahem," Chef said from behind her.
"Scratch that, the coast is not clear!" she exclaimed panicked.
She didn't have time to duck before Chef sprayed her and shot her to the wall.
"And now for your friend," Chef said as he pointed the water gun into the hatch.
However, all he saw were the same sacks from before.
"Where'd he go?" Chef exclaimed.
"Yeah, go Eliot!" Beatrice cheered.
"Lousy, freaky kids," Chef grumbled.
(The Forest)
It was starting to get dark now, and Lionel was already very deep in the forest. It was getting difficult to see more than just the trees around him. He slowed down to a walk, but did not stop moving. He could hear the faint sound of footsteps following him. He glanced around, but couldn't see anything. He sped up.
He heard the sound of something crackling and got the feeling he was being watched. A tingle went through his spine and his heartbeat quickened. He was expecting Chef to jump out at any minute, but the fact that he didn't was even more unnerving.
Lionel looked up and thought he saw a pair of eyes watching him. He shook his head and they were gone. However, they kept reappearing from bushes, behind trees, anywhere Lionel looked. They would disappear after a second, but only to reappear somewhere.
Lionel heard the sound of someone jumping down behind him. He froze, then turned around. No one was there. As he turned back the way he was heading, he thought he saw a blur run into the bushes. He kept moving, yet now he was haunted by some strange noise. It was like a blurry whisper mumbling incoherent words. He started seeing a shadowy figure in place of the pair of eyes. Someone would creep out from the sides and approach him. Only to disappear.
Eventually Lionel broke into a run. He just looked forward and ran without direction. Something tackled him and he was knocked to the ground. Someone grabbed him by the shoulders and held him up against a tree.
"Gotcha," Parry declared triumphantly.
Confessional:
Parry-Woo! I feel so alive. Suddenly the world doesn't seem so bleak.
Lionel-(curled up in a ball) I think I owe someone an apology.
(The Beach)
Nicole, Ethan, and Bobby watched as the other eliminated campers arrived. Beatrice came out of the mess hall dripping wet, Annie was covered in dirt, and Parry was carrying Lionel.
"Well, well, looks like we've got our first camper capture," Chris declared. "Congratulations, Parry, you've won immunity for yourself. And with the sun setting, it won't be long before others join him."
"Way to go, Parry!" Montana cheered.
"Aha!" Chef exclaimed as he fired at the tree where Montana was sitting.
Montana flipped forward and bounced off of Chef's back. Chef wasted no time in switching his position and firing after Montana.
"Can't hit me," Montana laughed. "Now I'm over here, now I'm over here."
"Go Montana!" cheered the various eliminated campers.
"No one makes a fool of Chef Hatchet!" Chef declared as he continued to fire after her.
Montana started getting more artistic with her dodging by adding backflips and cartwheels. Chef managed to herd her onto the Dock of Shame where she had less room to move. Yet Montana seemed no less confident.
"Woo, I'm invincible!" Montana laughed as she rolled out of the way of another blast.
"Ahem," Chef coughed.
Montana looked down and realized that she had nearly rolled off the edge of the dock.
"Oops!" she exclaimed as she slipped into the water with a splash.
Chef smiled victorious as he pulled her out.
"You're out," he declared.
"And not a moment too soon," Chris exclaimed. "The time is now up. If anyone can return to the beach without being caught by Chef now, they will also win immunity for tonight."
"Well, looks like I will be sticking around for another day," Edward exclaimed smugly as he stepped out of the forest.
However, before he reached the beach he heard another high pitched beeping.
"Ugh, where is that noise coming from?" he snapped.
In a blast, a sticky goo exploded from the ground. Edward's legs were covered and stuck in place.
"Hey, what is this?" he snapped.
"That would be one of my traps," Bobby exclaimed smugly. "I believe that means that I'll be getting immunity."
"Why, yes, yes it does," Chris exclaimed.
Edward narrowed his eyes angrily.
"Anyone else?" Chris asked.
Eliot emerged from the water and stepped onto the stand.
"Safe!" he exclaimed.
"Our third and final immunity winner for today is Eliot!" Chris exclaimed. "Anyone else is free to be voted off tonight. So get to it."
The campers began mingling with each other as they returned to their cabins. Nicole approached Edward.
"So close," she exclaimed, "but no immunity for you tonight."
"Fine, I'm in danger!" Edward snapped. "You happy?"
"I'm simply trying to be helpful," Nicole replied.
"Yeah, right. You're trying to help yourself," Edward countered.
"Do you want my help or not?" Nicole asked.
"I don't want your help, but I'll take it," Edward said. "Who are we voting off instead?"
"Ethan," Nicole answered matter-of-factly.
"What?" Edward exclaimed in shock. "Ethan is my strongest ally. The only ally that I can trust to not stab me in the back."
"He's a threat," Nicole said with the same matter-of-fact tone. "I want him gone. That's my only offer. Take it, or you're gone."
To emphasize her point, Nicole gestured over to Annie who was gathering as many boys as she could.
"People, we need to vote off Edward tonight," she exclaimed. "You all know that he's a lying snake, but some of the girls seem to think otherwise. But I know that you'll make the right decision."
"The choice is yours, Edward," Nicole concluded.
Confessional:
Edward-Damn, I knew something like this would happen. I was unable to stop Nicole, now she has the power.
Nicole-I have to play hardball now that we've hit the merge. That prize is in reach and I won't let anything stop me now.
(Campfire Ceremony)
The ten campers sat around the fire. Beatrice and Eliot were holding hands, Parry was actually smiling a genuine smile along with Montana. Lionel looked slightly annoyed, but that was nothing compared to Annie who was glaring at Edward.
"Welcome campers," Chris greeted. "As you see I have nine marshmallows for nine campers, whoever you like the least will be going home tonight."
"IE Edward," Annie exclaimed.
"Let's start by handing out marshmallows to our immunity winners," Chris declared. "Parry, Bobby, and Eliot good job, you can stay for another week."
Chris tossed the marshmallows out.
"Also safe tonight…Beatrice!" Chris announced. "Nicole and…Montana."
The girls smiled at each other as they caught their marshmallows.
"Now, you four all received at least one vote," Chris said to the remaining five. "Take a good look at each other, because one will be leaving. Forever."
Annie looked determined, Edward looked nervous, Lionel looked uncertain, Ethan looked how he always looked.
"Still safe…Annie!" Chris announced.
Annie collected her marshmallow happily.
"Now we're down to three," Chris declared. "But still safe tonight is…Edward!"
"What?" Annie gasped in horror.
Nicole just shook her head in annoyance.
"Now, Lionel and Ethan," Chris concluded, "one of you managed to collect enough votes for elimination. But the one who is safe is…"
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
"Lionel!"
"Aw, man," Ethan sighed. "Well, I guess like all good things in nature, it had to come to an end. Good luck, Edward."
That did it for Annie.
"What is wrong with you?" she screamed. "Edward isn't your friend, he's just using you! In fact, he betrayed you. He never liked you, he only liked your support, and then he stabbed you in the back."
"Edward is my friend," Ethan retorted, "and he wouldn't do that."
"No," Edward confessed, "it's true. I did betray you. I'm sorry, Ethan, I was not a very good friend. But you were. You always stuck with me, when no one else would. I truly do appreciate that."
Ethan just shrugged and said, "You were a good friend to me, man. And you did what you thought was best. I have no right to complain, you know, everything happens for a reason."
Edward smiled and shook his head as he said, "You are one of a kind, Ethan."
"Okay, can we get on with the whole heave-ho?" Chris exclaimed as he dragged Ethan onto the Boat of Losers.
The campers got up and returned to their cabins. Annie was fuming and refused to talk to anyone. Nicole lagged behind to talk with Edward.
"Very good performance," she exclaimed. "People are sure to feel at least a little more sympathetic for you now."
"I eliminated who you wanted," Edward said darkly. "Now I have a favour to ask of you. Next elimination, we get rid of Annie."
"That can be arranged," Nicole said with a grin. "Welcome to the alliance."
Votes:
Parry-This morning I didn't think I could make a difference, but now I'm not so sure. So I'm going with Bobby's plan and I'm voting for Lionel.
Nicole-My alliance is falling apart at the seams, but hopelessly I'll have enough votes to get out Ethan.
Lionel-Why not? I'll vote for Edward like Annie wants. Everyone I want gone is immune.
Beatrice-I'm sticking with the alliance and voting for Ethan.
Annie-Edward, Edward, Edward, Edward, Edward, Edward…
Ethan-That Annie doesn't seem very nice. I think things will be a little better off once she's gone.
Eliot-Beatrice said to vote for Ethan. He wouldn't be my first choice, but he does seem suspicious, so I'll give her the benefit of the doubt.
Bobby-With all these alliances going on, it's hard to know who'll vote for whom, but hopefully people will see that Lionel is no good.
Edward-(sighs)…Ethan.
Montana-Time to go, Lionel, you messed with the wrong Australian…or Australian's friend.
(Conclusion)
"And so, Ethan leave the island," Chris wrapped out. "Really, I don't know how he lasted as long as he did. But as the alliances grow, break, and switch, what will the result be next time?

Author's Note: I'm probably going to get a lot of hate for elimination Ethan like that, but hear me out please. Ethan was originally going to be a very early elimination, but when I saw how popular he was, I decided to make more of a role for him. I didn't give him any major plotlines, but I made him a bit of a supporting character throughout his time on the island. It was thanks to you, the readers, that he got as far as he did so you be grateful he got that far.
Plus, if you haven't voted your prediction on my poll yet be sure to do that as I'll be putting up a new one soon. Thanks ^_^
