Last time on Total Drama Island; our competitors became the hunters and the hunted in an extreme paintball fight, bringing out the worst in our campers. Heather somehow got Justin to team up with her again, which caused her to believe that she suddenly had total domination of the game. Trent started going just a little bit insane; convinced that Noah was sabotaging their team. Things also got a little spicy between Eva and Sadie, as they once again failed to become friends. In the end, the Gophers got sent to the bonfire ceremony and it was looney old Trent that got that the boot. The Gophers are down two campers against the Bass. Can they come back and take over? This question and more will be answered tonight, right here on Total, Drama, Island!

Early that morning while most of the campers were asleep, the female members of the Killer Bass team were all busy showering doing their hair, as they always preferred to be the first ones awake and claim the washroom. Eva was trying to trim her armpit hair, which, honestly wasn't working out too well while Bridgette did her hair down into her usual long pony tail. Courtney straightened small chunks of her hair in sequence while Sadie and Katie were sharing their soap in adjoining showers while the whole group talked.

"So Courtney, I don't think you ever told us why your fear was love." Bridgette started, referring to one of their previous challenges, "Have some kind of bad experience or something?" Courtney puffed her cheeks and sighed.

"I don't want to get into it, it's pretty long."

"Tell us the short version then. We have time." Eva grunted, pulling off the loose hairs on her shaver and wondering if the blades just weren't sharp enough to cut through the thick jungle that was her arm hair.

"Eva, are you shaving your pits again? That's like so nasty, we asked you not to do that while were around!" Sadie called from the shower, making a gagging sound.

"Hey," She called back, "You're lucky I even let you keep your head after the stunts you pulled during the last challenge."

"I said I was sorry! I can't apologize anymore then I already have."

"Yeah Eva, relax. She can make up for it in today's challenge, right bestie?" Katie announced optimistically.

"Sure, I can totally prove I'm a great teammate!" Sadie beamed. Eva smirked,

"Fine, I look forward to it. Now Courtney, get on with the story." Courtney held her breath before releasing it and starting her story,

"Alright, here's the short version. My mom and dad got divorced when I was younger and I can remember all of the insults they used to sling at each other. 'I've never loved you, loving you was the worst decision of my life, etc.' I stopped seeing my dad because he moved as far away from me and my mom as possible. My mother would always say after the divorce that he never loved us and that he was no good. So she sort of implanted in my mind that love was stupid and mindless and that I shouldn't let those feelings overtake me." The group remained silent before Bridgette spoke up,

"Sounds rough Courtney, I'm sorry. That took guts Courtney, telling us that. Come here." Courtney stepped toward the blonde surfer girl, allowing herself to be embraced in a hug.

"Love isn't a bad thing, just like Gwen said. Love is something that, although your parents didn't have for each other, you'll have for someone. Just wait." She smiled at the CIT, who gave a soft smile back. Eva, who had remained quiet the whole time, walked up to Courtney and punched her arm playfully.

"Hey, I guess I won't have to pummel your face this challenge." She joked, something that was new for her, "Let's get ready for it."

Courtney Confessional

"I can't believe I just told the world one of my crippling secrets! This can so be used against me now, but, I mean, it felt kind of good to get something like that off of my chest. Should I start trusting my team or something? No, I have to focus on the game."

All of the campers stood on the beach as they waited for Chris to arrive. He had told the teenagers he would be waiting for them, although he was nowhere to be found.

"Maybe he died?" Beth interjected in all seriousness, but Geoff just groaned; interjecting his own thoughts,

"I doubt it." He said numbly, "Dude probably ran out of hairspray and had a panic attack or something, ha." DJ chuckled and gave Geoff a high-five while a voice behind them scoffed. Low and behold, it was Chris, who rapidly approached the teenagers.

"Morning campers," He greeted snidely, "I'm going to ignore that little comment Geoff made in order to explain today's challenge. It will test your mind, your teamwork, and your skills in the kitchen. You'll be cooking a three course meal and serving it to me for tasting. The winners get a reward while the losers will send somebody home. Each team needs to appoint a head chef to create a theme for the meal and oversee the cooking. To cook, you'll need ingredients. The truck that brings us food every morning just arrived, so pick out what you want and get cooking!" The Gophers headed over to the truck first and halted before entering; everyone staring expectantly at Heather.

"What?" She asked urgently, stomping her foot.

"Well, it's just that you're usually so eager to take the leadership role that we all thought you'd jump at the chance." Cody explained.

"Not today, I mean, it's cooking, how hard can it be? Find someone else to be in charge." Heather stated bluntly; taking a step to stand behind her rather small team.

"Why don't you do it Cody? You have great leadership skills!" Beth suggested, smiling.

"Really, are you dead serious?" He choked, "I'm not sure I cou-"

"Don't be silly Cody, you've got this!" Izzy encouraged, causing Cody to give in. He smiled at her and turned confidently to his team.

"Fine, I'll do it." With a few claps and a loud cheer from Izzy, Cody continued, "We should do a Mexican theme, with salsa and dip and stuff. Collect any kind of ingredient relating to Mexico and then meet me in the kitchen. Go!" He commanded and everyone dispersed, doing as they were told. Once the Gophers collected their food, the Bass stepped up to the truck.

"Who's gonna be in charge?" Courtney asked calmly which caused everyone to turn and stare at her awkwardly.

"What? The great and almighty Courtney doesn't want to be in charge of something for once?" Duncan sneered, continuing, "The last time I checked, you got Ezekiel eliminated for defying your leadership."

"Lay off of her Duncan." Katie defended, shooting daggers at the male, "You two can be jerks to each other some other time. Right now we need to focus on the challenge and we need a captain." She paused, taking a moment to breath. "I think DJ should do it."

"Me?" He questioned skeptically.

"Of course! I always hear you talking about different recipes you'd like to try. It'd be fun too, don't you think?" She asked as she smiled brightly at the boy.

"I cooked with mama all the time back home, so I guess I can handle overseeing everything. There are also some of mama's secrets I've been waiting to try out. Sure, I'd love to!" He agreed excitedly. DJ stopped for a minute to come up with a theme; giving his team an order after he thought of one, "We need to get the right ingredients for a tropical beach theme meal. Pineapples, coconuts, anything of the sort that might help us. Let's do this!"

DJ Confessional

"Being head chef is gonna be great! With all of my experience in the kitchen with baking, we're sure to win, just wait and see. I also owe Katie a thanks for speaking up for me; I probably wouldn't have on my own and then I wouldn't be in charge."

"Okay," DJ started, "We're making Twice-Cooked Coconut Shrimp as the main course, Pineapple Upside-Down cake as the dessert, and chicken stripes as a side dish."

"What do chicken stripes have to do with the whole tropical theme?" Geoff asked, carrying in his supplies and laying them on the counter with the rest of his team.

"I don't know, I just came up with it." DJ boldly confessed. Eva frowned in concern after hearing this, saying,

"I sure hope you don't plan on using that as a strategy for today's challenge. We can't afford to take stupid risks even if we are beating them."

"Well, uh, well as long as I'm in charge, what I say goes." He responded with a moderate amount of courage. Eva just scoffed and grabbed the ingredients for the dessert. "Sadie and I are gonna work on the Pineapple Upside-Cake." She demanded sternly, heading towards one of the "clones" as she liked to refer to them.

"Wait what? I'm too young to die!" Sadie snapped up into attention right before Eva gripped her arm and dragged her off to where she had placed the ingredients.

"Fine," Courtney sighed, "I guess I'll work on the Chicken wings with Katie and Duncan." The CIT made a slight gag noise after mentioning the male's name, but he ignored it and continued on to where the wings were.

"I guess that just leaves you and me on the main course." Geoff mentioned while scooting over next to Bridgette.

"I guess so," She chuckled, "Let's get started." While the Bass dove into their meal, the Gophers were busy giving out orders.

"Noah and Heather on the cheese filled taquitos, Beth and Izzy, you guys need to prepare the Refried Black Beans, and-"

"Aw, but I wanted to be with Justin!" Beth whined, scowling.

"And I wanted to be with Izzy but it works out better this way." Cody retorted; blushing lightly after realizing his statement.

"Aha, it's not problem Cody, we got this. Come on Beth!" Izzy smiled and scuffled over to their table.

"Y-yeah, right," Cody stammered, recollecting himself, "And Justin, you and I will work on the Chocó flan, okay? Move guys, we need to get this prepared quickly!"

Cody Confessional

"I was doubting myself in the beginning with all of this leadership stuff, but now that I see what kind of control I have I know we can pull through this deficit and come back as a team! Yeah!" He squeaked excitedly, "Heh, I think Izzy's starting to rub off on me."

"You know how to start twice-cooked apple pimp?" Geoff asked, clueless as he eyed their ingredients.

"It's Twice-Cooked Coconut Shrimp," Bridgette corrected, "And sure. Haven't you ever cooked before? It's like the first recipe in any oversea cookbook which is actually required if you're taking a home economics class."

"Sure I took it. I skipped out on most of it to go skateboarding with my pal Tom though. It was a totally radical time, you know? First we-" Geoff droned on while Bridgette rolled her eyes and started on the shrimp.

"That's cool Geoff. That's awesome Geoff." She responded robotically every so often so she could focus on the meal as it seemed he wasn't going to stop any time soon.

Bridgette Confessional

"Sure I like Geoff. He's cute, funny, caring. Do I like the fact that he takes no interest in helping out at all and seems to only worry about parties and jokes? No, not really."

Sadie Confessional

"Well this is going well. As much fun as attempting to bond with big bold brash Eva is, I think I'd rather just be BFF's with Katie again…Eva isn't going to see this is she?"

"You're not stirring hard enough." Eva grunted as she watched Sadie lightly mix their bowl of batter.

"I'm trying," Sadie huffed defensively, her arm movement slowing, "It feels like the batter's hardening."

"That's what happens the more you stir it." She explained in a deep tone. Eva then proceeded to nudge Sadie out of the way and grab the wooden spoon. "Let me do it."

"Are you sure? Bec-"

"Yes!" Eva snapped; attempting to thrust the spoon upward out of the bowl. The only problem was the batter was now so hard the spoon had become stuck inside of it and was unmovable. The athletic female lifted the spoon as the bowl followed and let it hang upside down with no movement. The substance in the dish didn't even budge and Eva tossed it down on the table; frustrated. Sadie stared at the bowl for a few seconds before looking back at the jockette and stating,

"I think we should put it in the oven." Over on the Gopher side, things weren't going smooth per-say, but they were going.

"Hey, nerd face," Heather snarled, "You're tossing too much meat into the taquitos." Noah winced in the sheer agony of having to listen to Heather blabbering before speaking,

"Heather, if you have some kind of problem, why don't you come do it yourself?"

"And get grime under my nails? No thanks. Just keep working." Noah huffed at Heather's comment and continued stuffing their taquitos with a variety of cheese, meats, and vegetables. While he did that, Izzy and Beth were preparing the beans for cooking.

"Do these look black enough to you?" Beth asked as she measured the cup full of beans.

"How do you define the color black? Has someone written it down in a book that says it has to be that certain shade?"

"Uh, um, what- I don't…has it been?" Beth responded a bit confused.

"I don't know probably," She grinned dumbly, "Do what you want; you're making it after all." Truth rang in Izzy's words as they made their way to Beth's head. She received the message, although probably not how she should have.

"So you're saying that if I want Justin to like me, I should just do what I want to make him notice me?"

"Well I wasn't saying it like that, I'm pretty sure we're not cooking Justin." Izzy muttered but Beth ignored her; too eager to contain her emotions.

"Thanks Izzy, I'm gonna go talk with him! You can finish here right?" Before she had a chance to respond, Beth was off and speeding towards Justin.

"Justin." She squealed; popping up out of nowhere as he jumped back in surprise.

"Oh, uh, hey Beth." He greeted cautiously, remembering how Beth had acted the last time she was around him.

"I guess I should apologize for a while ago when I stalked like a crazy obsessed fan girl which I'm totally not by the way!" She blurted out excitedly.

"…You know what Beth? I think I hear Heather calling me." He lied quickly, taking one large step, "I'll just be over there, okay? Okay…" Justin trailed off, sprinting away once he did so.

"Okay!" She called, "Come back soon!" Back on the Bass side, Katie, Courtney, and Duncan were making the chicken wings. Courtney was tearing apart the meat and giving them to Duncan who was cooking them in the oven while Katie was seasoning the pieces once they were done.

"This is so lame." Duncan mumbled while handing Katie two more wings.

"Do you want to complain or do you want to win?" Courtney responded, keeping a calm composure.

"Listen little miss CIT, I still don't know what kind of problem you have with me but you need to back off before I mash your face in more than it already is, you got that?" Duncan threatened, but Courtney just frowned.

"I'm pretty sure it's the other way around, but I just don't want to lose this challenge. We've worked too hard to lose now; I don't want to get behind."

"Whatever." He muttered.

Duncan Confessional

Duncan cleared his throat and began speaking in a high pitched voice, "Courtney blah blah blah love this blah that blah I'm acting innocent now because I can't get over my own actions. Pfft, what a loser."

Bridgette Confessional

"I just don't know how much more of Geoff I can take. When I first met him I thought he was cute and all, but now he's just being a total frat boy. It's all about partying. Come on Geoff, we're trying to survive on a game show, it's not a joke!"

"…And then my cousin Skeeter jumped it, I mean he really did! Ha-ha, can you believe it?" Geoff explained extravagantly, but at this point Bridgette hadn't heard a word he had been saying for the past five minutes.

"Hey Geoff, do you think you could maybe help me with the shrimp? I appreciate the story telling and stuff, but we're behind the other campers." Bridgette observed, noticing they only had about three shrimps completely done.

"Relax, it'll all work out, I'm sure." Geoff passed off in his usual calm demeanor. Bridgette huffed in frustration and then turned to Eva behind her and whispered, "Change me partners?" She pleaded. Eva sighed in relief and whispered back,

"She's all yours. I can't take it anymore, we have nothing in common and I can't even get through a conversation without wanting to punch her throat out." Eva confessed truthfully; making Bridgette feel a bit uncomfortable.

"Why don't you just let this friendship happen naturally?" Bridgette asked, "If it's meant to happen, it will, right? Anyway, thanks. Geoff's not taking this seriously at all." The blonde surfer turned to Sadie and called to her,

"Hey Sadie, you're with me now. Come on over here!"

"Wait!" DJ screeched, rushing over to the scene, "What's going on here?"

"I'm just trading partners with Eva." Bridgette confessed, seeing no wrong in her action.

"Not while I'm in charge you're not." DJ stated sternly, not budging.

"What the heck Bridge? I thought we were tight!" Geoff scolded, now becoming aware of the current situation.

"Oh and who died and made you in charge" Eva chimed in rudely, face to face with DJ.

"Um, we did Eva, remember?" Sadie answered, although it wasn't very appreciated as Eva just turned to snarl at the girl.

"Listen, as long as I'm in charge, what I say goes, and I say you stick with your original partners, you got dat?" DJ said, adding in a ghetto part at the end for emphasis.

"Yeah, sure," Geoff obliged before moving to whisper to the larger boy, "Thanks for keeping me with Bridgette man, I appreciate it."

"I didn't do it for you; I did it for the team and our chances of winning. Now get back to work!"

Geoff Confessional

"What's up with the dude? I was just being friendly and he comes at me with that? Maybe he wasn't the best choice for this, man. Anyway, what am I going to do about Bridge? She wanted to drop me just like that?"

Katie Confessional

"I think, uh, that maybe this power has gone to DJ's head a little bit. Just a little tiny small bit?" Katie asked skeptically, hanging her head in disbelief. "I need to fix this."

"So little miss stalker won't leave you alone?" Heather questioned boringly as she watched Noah throw the tray of taquitos he had just created into the oven.

"Yeah, she's like some kind of weird obsessed fan-girl." Justin confessed, making a disgusted face as chills went up his spine, "I mean, I don't mind all the attention and I am the best looking male here, but, it's Beth."

"Listen, all-" Noah started before Heather put a hand up to his face and approached Justin herself.

"You want Beth to leave you alone? She just wants what she can't have, so all you to do is confess your feelings for her and she'll leave you alone. Easy as that, right Noah?"

"Well I-"

"You see?" Heather interrupted the smaller boy again and continued, "He agrees! Now go on back there and claim your freedom!"

Justin Confessional

"Advice from Heather? And it's actually not terrible? Maybe she's actually a kinder person than people give her credit for."

Heather Confessional

"Justin will believe anything. Just because he's my teammate doesn't mean I don't want to see him squirm. I can't wait to see this in action." Heather stared at the camera for a few seconds before speaking again, "What? You think just because my parents didn't pay any attention to me as a child I have some sort of needy attention problem? Because I don't. I'm perfectly fine without Justin; I just need him so I can win. That's all."

Cody, who had been on his own for a while as Justin had been gone forever in his mind, was busy finishing up the Chocó flan.

"Where is Justin? I could have used some help with this." He complained, looking around for the boy. "Being team captain is hard, geez. I can't even get my own teammate to listen to me." He sighed, putting the Chocó flan on the plate to present it to Chris. "Done!" He smiled. "Now I just need to find Justin, the little ditcher."

"If you're looking for your hot model friend," Heather commented, slyly moving over toward the smaller boy, "He's busy trying to win the heart of his lover. Don't interfere; you might ruin his one chance at true love." She persuaded so smoothly that Cody had to stop in his tracks and take a moment to think. When he curved his mouth to talk, Heather grinned evilly.

"I know I wouldn't want someone stopping me from talking to Izzy or messing up my relationship…" He trailed off; blushing once he realized he had just spoken that aloud. With Cody's attempt to approach Justin halted, the attractive looking male stepped up to Beth, tapping her on the shoulder to get her attention.

"Justin!" She beamed upon turning and seeing him.

"Yeah, uh, listen Beth, I just wanted you to, uh, know that I'm…" He paused to stare at her smiling mouth and shivered, noticing the piece of food stuck in her braces. Justin gulped before finishing,

"You're my one true love Beth!" He exclaimed dramatically, hoping the girl would buy his extravagant acting, "I know I was avoiding you during that whole psychopathic stage, but that's behind us now. We can start dating and then get married and live happily together in Sweden where there is no war and just peace and stuff! What do you say?" Beth stared at him with wide eyes for a moment before silently falling backwards to the floor; unconscious. "I can't believe that worked." Justin muttered as the Gopher team rushed around Beth while he just stood there with an exasperate expression plastered on his face.

"Beth? Beth!" Noah called as he stared down at the small female.

"Coming through!" Izzy yelled as she tossed a bucket of water straight down on the girl. What the water made contact, Beth instantly shot up in awareness.

"What happened? I was in so much shock from Justin I just…" She trailed off, allowing herself to be lifted up by Cody.

Beth Confessional

"Well I was pretty in to Justin and I didn't brag or flaunt my feelings about him and it's not like it showed, but now I don't know. If he likes me back, it's not as much fun trying to win his heart. Besides, a guy that good looking can go out with anyone! What if he dumped me as soon as we started dating and went after someone else? Yeah, we're definitely staying friends."

"If Beth's okay, we need to focus back on our task at hand." Cody announced, gathering his teams' attention, "Is everyone almost done with their meal?"

"Taquitos are-" Noah started before being yet again cut off by Heather,

"They're perfectly prepared and are ready to be eaten. You can thank me, I made them all myself." She sneered, turning to Noah and laughing at the frustration he was showing.

"The Refried Black Beans are ready too." Izzy added. Cody nodded,

"Right, and I finished the Chocó flan so it looks like we're all done."

"Teams!" Chris called seemingly right on schedule, "5 minutes until it's time to present your meal. Set the stoves on fry and let's get grilling!"

"You guys almost done over here?" DJ nagged as he approached Duncan, Katie, and Courtney who were just finishing up the Chicken Wings. "I don't want this team to lose because of you slowpokes!"

"DJ, you need to calm down." Katie said, trying to coax him off of his high horse but it didn't seem to do much as he gave the girl an idiotic face before stomping off.

"What's his deal?" Courtney asked, setting the last cooked chicken wing on the plate.

"Maybe we'll find out as soon as we figure out what's up your butt first." Duncan scowled and crossed his arms. Courtney huffed before letting out all of her thoughts,

"Listen here Duncan, I've tried to be nice to you ever since I was all stuck up in your face earlier and I've even apologized, so you need to stop!" Her voice rose but she didn't stop there, "I can't deal with everything you're pushing on me and frankly, you're just acting like a huge douche bag. Leave me alone!"She screamed a little louder than she should have but her message still went across. Katie just stood behind her, astonished, while Duncan's eye twitched.

Duncan Confessional

"So the grimy CIT does have some balls. I have to hand it to her, she got me good. I think I'll cut her a break for a while, maybe even get to know her." Duncan was about to walk out until he realized how un-cool his previous statement had sounded, "Ah, I mean, if she wants to even get close to me, I'll pound her face in!" He corrected himself quickly even though it was a bit too late.

Just as Chris had said, DJ and Cody were now standing outside of the kitchen in the dining area; Chris sitting in front of them at a large table.

"We'll get you your food in a second sir; I hope you don't mind the wait." Cody mentioned to the host, shuffling back to the kitchen to call out their first dish.

"Yeah, if my team didn't totally screw anything up, your food's also arriving in a minute." DJ commented, also moving back to the kitchen.

"Yo, get on out here with the main course, Chris is waiting." DJ ordered, receiving angry glances from both Geoff and Bridgette as they grabbed their plate of shrimp and brought it out him.

"Without further ado dude, I present to you our Twice-Cooked Coconut Shrimp!" Geoff introduced as Bridgette laid the plate in front of the host.

"Simple to make, but creative intro. Let's see how it tastes." Chris pulled out his fork and picked up one of the little barbequed shrimps in it. After tossing it in his mouth, he licked his lips. "Delectable, I'll give it a six." Bridgette turned to smile at Geoff but he just turned away, frowning. "Next!" Chris called; cueing Noah and Heather to exit out of the kitchen and place their meal in front of him.

"I hope you'll find everything to your liking sir." Noah presented, stepping backwards. Chris did the same as he had done with the shrimp; making sure he examined every aspect of the meal.

"Eh, props for an original idea but the taste of it is empty and dull. I'll give it a five." Heather stared menacingly at Noah, muttering,

"Little twerp can't even make a taquito right." Which he overheard and returned the glare, mouthing,

"You wanted the credit for making them."
"Well, with the Bass leading, it's time to bring out the side dishes. Teams, go ahead and grab them." DJ and Cody skipped back into the kitchen again to gather their team; emerging a few seconds later. This time, the Gophers presented their side dish first, the Refried Black Beans. Izzy, who was holding the plate, handed it to Chris who promptly began eating it.

"Mhm, great taste you guys, I give it an eight. Nice presentation too, I like the little decorated carrot bits on top."

"I didn't put any carrot bits on top, did you?" Beth whispered to Izzy with wide, concerned eyes.

"I was just pulling off loose bits of my hair earlier, I don't think they fell in the food." Izzy confessed without any concern, "Do you think he noticed?" The two turned back to the host who gave them a thumbs up and continued eating their food. Beth felt a little sick upon seeing it, but Izzy pushed her along, letting the Bass present their meal. Courtney and Katie both brought the plate up to Chris and laid it in front of the man who then proceeded to chow down on it.

"These…are the best wings I've ever had!" Chris claimed as Courtney and Katie exclaimed excited shrieks and Duncan smiled. "You guys get a nine, I mean, great job. My applause to whoever's idea it was to create these."

DJ Confessional

"And my team doubted me when I said I wanted them to make chicken wings. Please, I've been cooking with my mama since I was three. It was at that age when she told me how to make her special spice that could spice up any meal. Anyway, this just goes to show that my team should watch what they say, because without the secret spice I sprinkled on it when no one was looking, we probably would have lost. No, this power hasn't gone to my head. Katie's full of crap if you ask me. I mean, have you seen her outfit?"

"The Bass are ahead by two and if things continue the way they are, the Bass are sure to win. Will they? We're about to find out! Bring out the desert!" After hearing Chris, Heather went into bitch mode,

"We're behind right now and I swear if any of you screw this up I'll-"

"Relax Heather." Cody coaxed, defusing her rage, "I'm gonna go get Justin." As Cody went into the kitchen, DJ followed behind him; heading to their teams side and heading toward Sadie and Eva.

"Is that thing still not out of the oven?" DJ asked, eyeing the two girls strangely.

"It won't cook!" Sadie huffed, "It's been in the bowl for over an hour and it won't even get warm!"

"Just have it out there in a minute, I'll tell Chris it's coming, and for your sake I hope it's edible." He commented, stepping out of the kitchen with a glare at the two.

"What are we going to do! We have no food to present!" Sadie panicked as she searched around the room.

"Just pull the batter out of the oven, it can't be that bad." Eva stated, surprisingly calm. Sadie did as the tough girl said and yanked the bowl out; the spoon from earlier still sticking straight out it.

"Isn't this just the batter? Isn't that really unhealthy to eat?" Sadie nagged to Eva who just took the bowl and began moving toward the door to the dining room. Before she did that, she stopped and turned, saying,

"If he can annoy and humiliate twenty two teenagers in front of the whole world, he can survive some undercooked pastry batter. Now let's go." She voiced sternly, kicking the door to the dining room wide open.

Sadie Confessional

"Even though I don't really agree with half of the things Eva says, I didn't really have an argument against her logic. Weird isn't it?"

"Eat this." Eva scoffed, sliding the bowl across the table at Chris.

"There's a spoon in it." He observed, staring down at the solid batter.

"It'll be up your ass in a second if you don't start eating." She warned, causing the host to smile.

"Alright, relax. I'll give it a try." Chris lifted his spoon and tried to stick it in the bowl; only to have it dent upon touching the solid mix in it.
"Er, yeah. I can't eat this. You guys get a one, this was terrible." Chris decided, still trying to stick his metal spoon in the bowl while the wooden one still stuck straight out of it.

"Great job you guys, way to blow this challenge." DJ scolded harsly; something completely out of character for him.

"We're still ahead guys," Katie announced optimistically, hoping to calm DJ, "Maybe the Gophers screwed up too!" Just as she finished, Justin walked dramatically out of the kitchen and presented Chris with his desert.

"Chocó flan? Interesting." Chris inquired, grabbing his fork and shoving the piece into his mouth. "Oh, good gravy, we have a winner! The Gophers win with this knockout of a desert! A solid ten, delicious! Bass, I'll see you at the elimination ceremony."

"Cody, you did it!" Izzy cheered and jumped onto the boy in a type of hug. He embraced her back and when she let go, they both took a moment to smile at each other, eyes locked.

Izzy Confessional

"I'm really happy Cody led us in the challenge. He was, um, really great. He even cooked the Chocó flan himself. I like him, a lot." Izzy, who was usually full of energy was relatively silent and still as a red blush spread across her face.

Justin Confessional

"I can't believe it! Beth just came up to me and told me we had no future together and that we were through! I mean, we weren't even dating but still. Maybe now she'll finally leave me alone. Oh, and I have Heather to thank for the great advice. I thought she was just messing with me, but I guess she really cares about me. Ha, that's cool."

Heather Confessional

"I was kidding!"The female screeched, "When I trick someone, I want it to actually affect them. Ugh, this is such bull. Beth and Justin just like, need to go fall off of a cliff or something."

Katie and Sadie Confessional

"We've really been spending a lot of time apart and trying to make friends but we're still bffs right?" Katie asked, turning to Sadie.

"Oh of course!" Sadie nodded, smiling, "I just wish Eva wasn't so angry all the time, she's really scaring me. After we lost the challenge, she went over to the communal washroom and punched in all of the mirrors. I think her hand started bleeding."

"I know! DJ was really strict and mean today. I think I need to go talk with him, right?"
"Duh! I think I'll stay away from Eva for a while until her rage wears off though…"

Eva Confessional

Eva huffed heavily and in long intervals, probably trying to regain her control. When she spoke, it was in between breaths "Team…challenge…kill…mirror." She help up her bloody, glass filled hand and then kicked the confessional door open; storming out.

"DJ!" Katie called to the large boy as he approached the Bass cabin. "I wanted to talk to you about earlier you big jerk!" She said in a not so sensitive tone.

"Yeah, uh, listen Katie, I'm sorry about that. I've never been given dat much control before and when I finally got it, it felt great. I guess I kind of made a fool of myself huh?"

"Yeah!" She scolded, "Now you should go apologize to our team okay? I'm sure they'd appreciate. I would too." She grinned at the male happily and he returned it, raising his hand for a high-five that she gave him.

"I will, I promise."

Geoff Confessional

"Well I was gonna vote for DJ until he became a man and apologized for earlier. Dude did good doing that. As much as I'd like to eliminate Bridge, I can't stay mad at her for too long. Don't tell her though, I'm gonna keep playing it while I can."

"Bass. There are eight of you in front of me and only seven fluffy bits of safety on this plate. When I call your name, I'll toss you your marshmallow." Chris paused to cough and clear his throat before resuming, "Katie." He flung the girl a treat which she happily caught. "Duncan, Geoff." Chris said; flicking two more marshmallows off the tray at the two males. "Sadie, Eva, Bridgette." He said in a line, all three girls eagerly catching their marshmallows. "DJ, Courtney, this is the final marshmallow of the night.

"Come on, come on; give me the treat." Courtney mumbled as she anxiously sat on the hot seat. Chris did one of his usual dramatic pauses, allowing the camera angle to swap between the two teens before he finally announced, "It goes to DJ. Sorry Courtney, say goodbye to the island."

"What? But I didn't even get my million dollars!" She ran up to the host and whined; Chef stepping over and hoisting the girl over his shoulder, uttering,

"I don't get paid enough for this." The Bass waved a goodbye to Courtney as she was literally being brutally dragged off the island. She was throwing a huge tantrum; trying to claw her way out of the boat back on to the dock. When the boat pulled away, her team sighed.

Duncan Confessional

It's kind of a shame. Just as she was starting to become less irritable she gets herself kicked off. I might have had something to do with it, but I can't spoil anything yet. Not yet anyway."

"Oh, sneaky huh? For more surprising and backstabbing eliminations like this, tune in next week right here on Total, Drama, Island!"
