Chapter 3: Riding Lessons
It was again time for Chris McLean to have his turn do commentary on what happen last time to the audience.
Chris McLean's Commentary:
Last time on Camp Drama Showdown, 80 contestants, eight teams, two sides to root for me or Blaineley. The challenge, a simple carnival-style shooting range game, that would have the shooter who sat too long become a sitting duck for my secret weapon. Oh indeed what a powerful secret weapon it was, especially if it were against Blaineley!
Yes indeed, poor Blaineley got all wet, but so did poor Karin and Squid of Teams Blazing Saddles and Blinding Bandits who both had to send the two home. Yet, that's right, it's a dual elimination that could happen in EVERY elimination round! So sit back and relax for some more Camp Drama Showdown, yee-ha!
End of Commentary.
It was quite early in the morning as, in spite of everyone being within the studios, the studios itself thanks to Johnny's sisters was designed to emulate the weather of the original Wild West. Indeed it was going to be quite a hot day, but the morning was quite cool compared to what the rest of the day would be. A certain Colonel Barnes who had a routine getting up around 3 A.M., wanted an early wake-up call, but old Chris McLean said no, and likewise even Blaienley didn't want a 3 A.M. wake up call either.
Confession in the Outhouse:
"Bah, what a bunch of sissies!" roared Colonel Barnes, "If we were in the middle of the war and the enemy struck at 3 A.M., they would be sitting ducks! And speaking of people who claim to be members of the military, last time I checked, Chef Hatchet's record wasn't a long one!"
End of Confession.
As the sun rose up, Sheriff Woody came onto the scene with Jesse and Buzz, as Chris greeted the trio.
"We need to have your deputies do a wake up call" said Chris, "old Colonel Barnes didn't want to go by the book to have them wake up at 3 A.M., that might have prompted angry phone calls from parents."
"Don't worry, I'll get my deputies and their helpers to get everyone up" said Woody.
"They can do all that?" asked Jesse.
"Hey, it's their job" added Buzz.
Woody indeed brought his deputies which were the Xiaolin monks from Season three who were hired to be Woody's posse, likewise, their helpers included Duncan, Eva and Gwen.
"Alright, the orders are to get everyone up and ready for the next challenge of the day" laughed Chris.
As they went to work in doing just that, Blaineley who finally woke up came into the scene and noticed the commotion.
"Did you just assign them to wake the others up before I could?" asked Blaineley.
"That sums it up pretty much" laughed Chris.
"Bah, I know you'd have preferred I'd have been punished for interfering with you" said Blaineley.
"Oh, you'll be punished alright, just in a slow way" laughed Chris.
Confession in the Saloon:
"I know Chris has a secret weapon up his sleeve, but I need to find out what it is" said Blaineley, "there must be some secret helpers of his who may have a grudge against yours truly, but who?"
End of Confession.
Eva was indeed making quick work in getting people up as she began to bang the doors of the cabins with her bear fist.
"Wakeup, wakeup!" roared Eva as she knocked away pretty hard.
"Not so loud!" cried Bloo who wanted to go back to sleep.
"So, you're trying to go back to sleep are you?" asked Eva to Bloo.
"Bloo, come on, I don't want any trouble, especially from her" said Mac to Bloo.
"Fine, fine" said Bloo as he was making his bed.
"I was still dreaming about my Ed" said May as she was getting up.
Hailey indeed felt it was quite disturbing that the Kanker sisters were attracted to the three Eds in an odd strange way.
Confession in the Outhouse:
"How can anyone especially the Kanker sisters be attracted to those three?" cried Hailey, "I mean really, let's be realistic about this, how can they? That May Kanker talked so much about that Ed in her sleep! Yuck!"
End of Confession.
As everyone got out of their cabins, thanks to Sheriff Woody Pride's forces, they headed for the open mess hall which the heat was becoming quite unbearable as the day went on.
"Boy, your sisters know how to really do their job well" said Molly to Johnny as they were waiting in line.
"They built this weather system meant for the Wild West" said Johnny, "it's literally going to end us all if Chris doesn't."
"I just hope I can last for the entire day yo" said Irwin.
As everyone ate breakfast, a certain Marc went off to meet up with John Redcorn, as off camera, Marc made a deal with John Redcorn to do certain tasks, but not as an alliance. John Redcorn was given what seemed like a special document of some sort by Marc. The Native American eventually went toward the table of the Chanting Cherokees and handed it to Libby.
"For you" said John Redcorn, "the author wishes to be anonymous."
"Oh, what's that you got?" cried Chum Chum as he grabbed the piece of paper from Libby quite rudely.
"Hey, that's not yours!" cried Libby.
"Yuck, who'd write this stuff!" cried Chum Chum.
"Let me see!" said Fanboy as he took a gander at the paper which had a poem on it.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Whoever wrote this really makes me want to barf and laugh at the same time!" laughed Fanboy.
"I can't believe that I am still laughing at what a ridiculous poem this is!" laughed Chum Chum as he obviously had little taste to what Marc really wrote.
End of Conessions.
"Give me that!" roared Fanny as she then handed it back to Libby.
"Thanks" said Libby.
"That was nice of you" said Sakura.
"Hey, the only reason I did that is so that these two stupid boys don't ruin the moment for her!" continued Fanny.
Confession in the Outhouse:
"I can't believe it, what immature stupid brats Fanboy and Chum Chum are, if we lose, the next challenge, I know who to vote for, I'd just wish I could vote for both of them off!" roared Fanny.
End of Conession.
As everyone finished their breakfast, Chris was heading over to where his Sabotage Team was located, Chris was impressed with the way Riley and Huey wasted Blaineley's side and Blaineley herself.
"Nice going taking Blaineley down in that first challenge" laughed Chris as he gave both Riley and Huey high fives.
"It was worth it, especially after she used Courtney to fire Granddad out of the Cannon of Shame last season" said Riley.
"Yeah, she's going down, even if we get in the game later on, we'll make her pay dearly" added Huey.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Yeah, it's payback time, time to destroy Blaineley again!" laughed Riley.
"I'm not sure if it's a good idea that I am doing this behind somebody's back, I feel so dirty" said Bobby.
End of Confessions.
As Chris was getting his Sabotage Team ready for the challenge, a certain Rose wasn't happy with the way Blaineley ran things last challenge, as Blaineley came to visit her Idea Team.
"What's up with you falling in the first challenge?" asked Rose.
"Yeah, you need to get your act together" added Trixie.
"Well, you're supposed to be my Idea Team, and I do not see any ideas forming!" roared Blaineley as she fired back.
Confessions in the Saloon:
"What a grouch" said Jake referring to Blaineley.
"It's no wonder she didn't pull through in her teams' first challenge" said Jenny.
"Let's see, the next challenge will be with robotic horses, what a second, I got an idea I can help Blaineley with" said Sheldon.
"I'm not sure best thing to do is help someone as crazy as her" said Tuck.
End of Cofessions.
"Yes Sheldon?" asked Blaineley.
"We could make it tougher by putting toy cars within the barrels that the riders are supposed to race around with in the next challenge" said Sheldon.
"Hmm, that might work, put a few of them at the end before they reach the finish line, that way, I'd have my own little secret weapon against Chris" laughed Blaineley.
"I'll get to work right away in helping with you with that" said Dexter to Sheldon.
As Blaineley and Chris returned, the others were waiting for them in the hot sun. About 78 robotic horses were brought out by Sheriff Woody, Jesse, Buzz, Zerg and also Woody's four main deputies.
"Today's challenge is quite simple, it'll be a horse race around a race course that we have setup obstacles at" said Chris.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"A horse race, that's it, this should be easy" said Dash.
"At least a mechanical horse won't spit on you" said Jack.
"I could go for riding a mechanical horse" said Roger.
"I could have built them" said Hiro.
End of Confessions.
"We wanted to avoid lawsuits from animal rights activists, so by not having real horses was the obvious deal that came through" said Chris.
"You'll each have three laps, the members of the teams either on my side or Chris' that makes it across in the first three laps with the most team members wins immunity" said Blaineley.
As everyone was getting onto their robotic horses, it was a bit difficult for Sissy to get on a robotic horse, she could have gotten on the horse if it was a real one.
"Need help?" asked Johnny as he helped her up.
As Sissy sat on the saddle of the robotic horse, the sun was quite right of shining a perfect glow around Sissy which made Johnny blush a bit.
"You look great" said Johnny.
"Thanks" said Sissy as she blushed back a bit.
Chris typically enough fired the gun filled with blanks in his hand that started the race. It seemed the Raging Bulls were in the lead, but apparently Kuki was having trouble with her mechanical horse.
"Come on, will you hurry up?" asked Abigail.
"But the horse won't obey me!" cried Kuki.
"It's a machine!" replied Wally.
Suddenly as Kuki was coming across a barrel, the barrel in particular had a remote controlled toy car in it, for which Spud was controlling that moved the barrel that tripped the robotic horse, making poor Kuki fall right in the sand. Next came the fall of Flapjack and Zak Saturday who fell for the same gag done by Jake, a few feet away, members of the Racing Rangers ran into one of Chris' traps which was to literally trip the robotic horses, poor Princess Jillian fell down first, with Paco and Nazz following second and third. Dash, June and even Ray Ray managed to make it across along with Millie. Mostly around the second lap, members of every team began to fall like flies to the traps setup by Chris or Blaineley. It was down to the Blazing Saddles and to the Spinning Six.
"We're in the lead!" laughed Lee Kanker.
"Oh no you don't!" cried Janet who was an obvious expert at even riding a mechanical horse.
Both of the two teams were neck and neck as they were coming in the final lap. Lee Kanker, along with Double D and Eddy fell for a trap by Chris, Megan, Hiro and Zim fell for a trap by Blaineley. Soon the others began to fall, and it all came down to just Cleveland Jr., and Roger, which even surprised Marceline as she fell for one of Chris' traps.
"Just you and me partner" said Roger to Cleveland Jr.
"I'm in this to win this" said Cleveland Jr.
Neither of the two were good horse riders and were pretty slow, but that made it so that they'd avoid the traps quite easily. The two were neck and neck, until it was an obvious photo finish that Hank Hill took as they made the last lap.
"So, who won?" asked Blaineley to Hank.
"Well, it'd take a few seconds" said Hank as the photo revealed itself, "I can't believe it, it's a tie between the two!"
"Well, I guess we can celebrate it by having the Blazing Saddles and the Spinning Six have the rest of the day eat ice cream!" said Chris, "As for Teams Raging Bulls, and Racing Rangers, we'll see you at the camp fire ceremony."
As Chris and Blaineley were getting ready for a surprise treat for the campers who were going to stay for another day, meanwhile, back at the ice cream party at the Saloon, Harold, along with Justin, Trent, Cody, and even Muriel and Eustace were passing out ice cream to those who had one. Even though members of both Idea Teams didn't really participate, they helped organize the party. A certain Cleveland Jr., who was next in line to get his ice cream, he ran into Trixie.
"So, what kind of flavor would it be?" asked Trixie.
"Er, I don't know" said Cleveland Jr. who paused for a moment or two as he gazed at Trixie.
"Come on, choose" said Spud.
"Yeah, or as a deputy, deputy to a Sheriff's Deputy, I'll make you" said Duncan as he came over to Cleveland Jr.
But as the party was going on, it was time to bring out the new treat which was a golden-wrapped chocolate horseshoe for those who'd be staying for the next day.
"The marshmallows were just there for the premiere" said Chris, "but these tasty dark chocolate, golden-wrapped horseshoes should do nicely."
Chris and Blaineley handed out the golden-wrapped horses to those who'd be staying for another day, the only members of each team that didn't receive one were Kuki and Flapjack, and also Princess Jillian and Nazz.
"Kuki, you were a bit clueless in riding your mechanical horse, Flapjack, you didn't do so well riding either" said Chris as he then tossed the horseshoe to Flapjack, "but I guess since you didn't cause tensions with your teammates you'd get to stay for another day."
"Princess Jillian, you indeed were the one who fell for the trap first, Nazz, you didn't help, and the last golden-wrapped horseshoe goes to, Nazz" said Blaineley as she tossed it to her.
"Wait, that's not fair, why me?" cried Kuki as she was being escorted to the Carriage of Shame as it was being steered toward the camp fire by Grim.
"I'll feel sorry for you two if anything goes wrong with that Rose girl" said Princess Jillian who gave her final warning to Dukey and Mister Mittens as she was being escorted away by Colonel Barnes.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"I hate to have done it, but Kuki would have sadly held us back" sighed Abigail.
"I hope that Rose girl isn't up to any tricks" said Dukey as he was very much so worried about her.
End of Conessions.
"Tune in next time for even more exciting eliminations here on Camp Drama Showdown" said Chris as the camera closed up on him.
