A/N: Hello again! This episode will give screen time to whoever didn't have it before. Also, here's how the voting's gonna work. The characters will narrow it down to the bottom two, and then you will vote on who you want gone out of those two.

"Hello, and welcome back to…

TOTAL!

DRAMA!

JUNGLE!"

"We get it!" shouted Bella angrily.

"Fine, fine. Excuse me for trying to make it dramatic! Sheesh." Chris snapped, rolling his eyes. "We are currently in the middle of the first challenge of the season, a scavenger hunt. Bella of the Parrots and Shawn of the Pythons have both won immunity for this challenge, and so far the Pythons are ahead by one point. It could change however. Now, let's get back to the action!"

Jenna, Juevo, December, and Seth F.

"Okay, that chick is freaking insane." December said, watching Jenna dart behind tree after tree, as she put it, "using her instinct."

Sure. Thought December.

As she saw Juevo's eyes turn red, which she took as a sign of angriness, she shut up about Jenna. December sighed. "Seth, since you're the only sane one here, let's have a conversation. How long have you been doing karate?"

"As long as I can remember. How long have you been shooting?" Seth F. replied.

"Ever since I was little. My dad was on the police force, and he taught me." She smiles.

"Sh! My instincts are telling me the flags are that way. Follow." Jenna said, pointing north. She darted off, with Juevo following her happily.

"Oh well. Where else is there to go?" December said to herself. "If Noah was here, it'd be easier…" She walked after Jenna, who was now making her "jungle calls."

Aidan and Katrina

"You can hack computers, huh?" Aidan said, grinning at Katrina. "That's really cool."

"Um, yeah…" Katrina mumbled back, blushing due to Aidan's grin.

Confessional Tree

Katrina: He's so hot…

Aidan: Katrina, Katrina, Katrina. You will be useful later on, with your "cool" hacking abilities.

End Confessional Tree

"So, you can take down, like, firewalls and stuff?" asked Aidan, interested.

"Yeah. Once I got past the government wall." She said, wanting to impress the hottie standing next to her.

"Really? Hey, I see the flag!" Aidan grabbed the yellow piece of cloth hanging in the tree above them, and gave it to Katrina. "Here, go back to camp. I'll keep looking. All right?"

"Okay, you don't need help?" Katrina asked, not wanting to leave Aidan by himself.

"Yeah. I don't want to see you eliminated." Aidan said, smiling.

Confessional Tree

Aidan: You let them win the first couple of challenges, let them trust you, and then you put their skills to work. You throw in a couple of lines like "I don't want to see you eliminated" and they're wrapped around your finger. *he grins evilly*

End Confessional Tree

"Katrina, you are the third Python to arrive, stand on my right side. That puts the Pythons ahead by two- oh wait, what's that?"

Jenna, Juevo, December, and Seth F. all ran in with their flags, waving them above their heads.

Confessional Tree

December: Jenna's instincts actually worked. Imagine that.

End Confessional Tree

"A huge upset! You are the second, third, fourth, and fifth Parrots to arrive! The Parrots are now ahead by two! Great job, Parrots!" said Chris. "You got that, Chef?"

Chef was marking down tallies on a chalkboard a few feet away. "I was hired to cook, not keep score!"

"Your contract." Chris held a piece of paper, grinned wickedly.

Chef muttered something inaudible under his breath as he counted the four new arrivals.

Tatiana, Marisa, and Seth J.

Seth J. walked in between the two girls in his group, completely oblivious to the fact that Tatiana and Marisa were about to kill each other. "So, where do you think the flag is?" he asked, focused on the competition.

"Maybe it's in a tree!" said Tatiana hastily, trying to impress Seth.

"Why would it be in a tree?" Marisa laughed, glaring at Tatiana. "It's probably in a bush."

"It would obviously be in a tree, a bush wouldn't be hidden enough." Tatiana spoke, glaring back.

"A tree would just be ridiculous, it's in a bush!" Marisa yelled.

"It's in a tree!"

"A bush!"

"TREE!"

"BUSH!"

"TREE!"

"BUSH!"

"GIRLS! I don't know what's gotten you so worked up, but we have to look for the flags. Tatiana, you can look in the trees, and Marisa, you can look in the bushes! Okay? Just stop yelling!" yelled Seth J., as a growling noise got louder.

"W-what's that s-sound?" asked Tatiana nervously.

Seth J. turned around… and came face to face with a leopard.

"Oh crap."

Without thinking, they ran back to camp, flags forgotten.

Anabella, Willow, Danny, and Jared

The four stood by a river, waiting for Jared to… finish whatever he was doing.

"Why do we have to be by a river?" asked Anabella curiously.

"My thinking will become more focused if I'm by water. We can find the flags a lot easier." Jared replied. "I don't mean to be rude, but stop talking. It'll distract me."

"Er… okay." Anabella said, crest-fallen.

Meanwhile, Danny was leaning against a tree, trying to impress Willow, who was watching Anabella and Jared carefully. "They'd make a cute couple, wouldn't they?" she said to no one, sighing.

Danny almost said something, then stopped.

"There!"

Jared's voice caught their attention. "Three are in the bushes, and it's pretty close by here. There's one in the trees nearby there, too. Come on!" he shouted, rushing off into the jungle, the rest of his group following him.

Zakk and Samantha

"You see anything yet?" Zakk called out.

"No… do you?" Samantha replied.

"No, let's go that way." He pointed to his right.

They walked in silence, until Zakk spoke.

"So, Sammy-" He started until she cut him off.

"Don't call me Sammy. My stepmom calls me that, and I hate it. I'm not a big fan of her either." Samantha spoke, annoyed with the name.

"Oh, gotcha. Can I call you Sam?"

"Sure. I guess." Said Samantha softly. "I-I think that's a flag. Over there." She said, quietly.

Zakk ran over to where she was pointing. Sure enough, there were two flags there. "How'd you spot them so fast?" he asked, as he gave her flag to her.

"It was easy to spot." She replied.

"Let's get back to camp now." Zakk said, and they jogged toward the finish line.

Once they arrived, they saw Chris and the other contestants that had arrived.

"Zakk, Samantha, you are the fourth and fifth contestants to arrive. The Pythons and the Parrots are now tied. This is gonna get so many ratings." Chris said gleefully.

Just then, Marisa, Tatiana, and Seth J. all ran in, minus the flags.

"So, by any chance, do you have your flags?" Chris asked.

"There was a leopard that chased us!" yelled Seth J.

"Well, you guys arrived without your flags, and the rules say that you can't go back out into the jungle once you cross the finish line, so you three are subject to elimination!"

"WHAT?" the three yelled together.

Confessional Tree

Zakk: Chris should have given them a break. I mean, they could have been killed, for God's sakes!

Tatiana: It's all Marisa's fault. If we had looked in the tree like I said, we would have found the flags! But no, she has to go and tick me off!

Marisa: It's obviously Tatiana's fault.

End Confessional Tree

Aidan, Teddy, and Scott then arrived, putting the score to 8-5, in favor of the Pythons.

"Pythons have all the points they can get, thanks to three people who had no flags." Chris smirked.

"WE WERE ALMOST KILLED!" yelled Tatiana angrily.

Anabella, Willow, Danny, and Jared

"I said there were three flags in the bush." Jared said calmly.

"You didn't say that two of them were the other team's!" yelled Danny angrily. "Great. We don't have time to look any longer." He said, getting impatient. "Give the girls the flags."

"Fine. Here." Said Jared, slightly annoyed. "Let's all get back to camp now."

They crossed the finish line at the same time as Deedee and Andy, both of which had their flags.

"All right, now that the last campers have arrived, we can see the final score." Chris said, pointing to Chef.

All the contestants held their breath as Chef put the last tally marks on the board.

"And the winner is…

…

…

…

The Parrots, with a score of 9-8! Pythons, meet me in the deepest part of the jungle for the elimination ceremony."

Tatiana, who had been talking with December, got up and hugged her, as they had become fast friends.

Confessional Tree

Tatiana: I know I'm going home tonight. It's all Marisa's fault!

Marisa: Goodbye TDJ.

Seth J.: NEVER get between two girls who hate each other.

End Confessional Tree

As the Pythons gathered in the deepest part of the jungle, Chris arrived by a small path off to the side.

"Good evening Pythons. Bet you didn't want to be here, huh? You will cast your votes by writing the name on the leaf beneath your seat. Chef will collect them. We will start voting… now."

The area was dead silent as the Pythons decided on who they wanted sent home.

Confessional Tree

Zakk: I voted for Tatiana, because Seth J. is both smart and strong, and Marisa is strong. They both are valuable competitors. Tatiana, however, her skills aren't going to be very useful in the competition.

Tatiana: I voted for Marisa. No explaination needed.

Seth J.: I have no idea who to choose. *he sighs*

End Confessional Tree

"Your votes are in. Take a pith helmet if I call your name. First, we have Shawn, who won immunity. Next we have…

Riley,

Aidan,

Scott,

Zakk,

Samantha,

Katrina,

And Teddy."

It was down to Seth J., Marisa, and Tatiana.

"And the next one to receive a pith helmet… Seth J., you're staying in the jungle!"

The two ladies glared at each other, knowing that one of them was going home.

"Finally, the last safe one is…."

A/N: make sure to vote! Sorry to the creators of Tatiana and Marisa, but this is how is worked out. Don't worry, somehow I will try to keep the love triangle going.
