Chapter 26: Western Pet Search
It was once again Chris McLean's turn to give a recap to the audience.
Chris McLean's Commentary:
Last time on Camp Drama Showdown, a big announcement, I dissolved my Sabotage Team so that members of my former defunct Sabotage Team can become contestants! A bigger announcement, the challenge for the day was going to be split divide amongst T. Hawk and El Fuerte, two special guests who were going to lead the challenge.
T. Hawk led the traditional Native American rain dance with an added thunder and lightning effects for those who didn't get it right, and El Fuerte wanted to show off his cooking skills to our contestants. However, Troy wasn't interested in El Fuerte's cooking and spent more time teasing Hiro for liking Danielle getting himself into a food fight with a few others. Dukey from T. Hawk's challenge didn't seem to do so well with being struck by lightning a bit too much.
In the end, both of them had to say goodbye and say hello to the Carriage of Shame. So who'll be voted off today in the next exciting round of elimination? Find out here on Camp Drama Showdown!
End of Commentary.
It was rather late at night when a certain Max Tennyson arrived in town, Mayor Vlad Masters was there waiting for him.
"Here to pick up your grandchildren and their friend Kevin?" asked Vlad.
"Yea, I am, we got an important Plumber's mission" continued Max.
"Very well, I shall lead you to their cabin" said Vlad.
Suddenly on the door to the Blinding Bandits, a knock ended up waking up everyone inside.
"Who could it be at this hour?" asked Reggie who was quite tired.
"Who cares" said Zak Monday who went back to sleep.
Vlad opened up the door revealing Max Tennyson, the grandfather of Ben and Gwen Tennyson.
"We have to go now" said Max to Ben, Gwen and Kevin.
"But we're only about half way through the entire game!" cried Kevin.
"Come on, now" said Max as he was getting his grandchildren and their friend Kevin packing.
Confessions in the Saloon:
"Man, I am going to miss this game!" cried Kevin.
"No more dealing with Blaineley, that's the only plus side" said Gwen Tennyson.
"I think my Omnitrix does better not being restricted so much" said Ben.
"They cannot leave!" whined Blaineley as she was indeed sobbing over it.
End of Confessions.
Suddenly the other contestants woke up to a loud scream as it belonged to Blaineley as she was trying to prevent the Tennysons and their friend Kevin from leaving.
"You cannot leave!" cried Blaineley who was trying to hold Ben's bag back.
The other contestants looked out of the window and noticed Blaineley's obvious overreaction to the matter as she was desperately trying to block Max Tennyson's way.
"I forbid you with a lawsuit!" roared Blaineley.
"And the Plumbers are immune from lawsuits" laughed Max as he passed right by her.
Confessions in the Saloon:
"#*(%$*(%$, #%#%$#, #%$%^%, $%^#!" roared Blaineley as those were obvious words that were blocked from being heard on camera.
"Man, looks like Blaineley is in a meltdown!" laughed Chris.
End of Confessions.
"Oh that's just great, now it's just going to be us three!" cried Reggie referring to Zak Monday, her and Ed.
"Yeah, us three will go all the way!" cried Ed as he hugged the two with his arm pits.
"Get off of me!" cried Zak Monday to Ed.
"Yuck, gross!" cried Reggie who pulled away too.
After Blaineley was forced to calm down with the help of Colonel Barnes, John Redcorn and Hank Hill, the contestants went back to sleep only to wakeup about a few hours later. Indeed, Blaineley was there waiting for everyone as first thing she had to apologize to the contestants for her behavior.
"First announcement, I'd like to apologize last night for what happened" said Blaineley, "second announcement, Jenny, Brad and Tuck will be joining the Blinding Bandits, while Sheldon who has been bugging me to let him in off camera will be a member of the Spinning Six."
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Great, Dexter now only has those two ghosts as part of the idea team!" cried Dexter who wasn't happy with his position.
"Finally, I'm in the game!" laughed Jenny with joy.
"Oh boy, I get to show Jenny what I am made of!" said Sheldon, "Even though I am not on the same team, but you get the idea."
"About time they realize I had potential" said Brad.
"Yeah, me in the game!" laughed Tuck.
"Yes, fresh, fresh meat" said Dale, "but how to use them as bait is the question to get the prize."
End of Confessions.
After Blaineley was finished with her announcements, the contestants and the newcomers were led to the mess hall. Dale wanted to hatch his plan so that he could go after the reward for himself even if it means playing both sides with Ember, Young Blood and their mysterious ally.
"Well I be, you must be one amazing robot" said Dale who was buttering up to Jenny.
"Gee, er, thanks" said Jenny.
"If you or members of your team need me, let me know" said Dale.
"Ah Dale, could I have a word with you?" asked Buford.
"Yeah" said Dale.
"It would be unwise for us to make an alliance with anyone else from another team" said Buford, "the game is simple, we divide and conquer. Those who had made alliances too early will see theirs crumble. Take Rose for an example, when I was on Chris' Idea Team, I noticed that she made alliances with members of other teams."
"So, I don't see the problem with that" said Dale.
"Exactly, Rose chosen so far wisely, in not allowing her alliance members create tensions with her" said Buford, "I propose we give that tension the extra push so that we can end up filling in the vacuum once she has been disgraced."
"Hmm, sounds interesting, but what about the execution of the process to do it?" continued Dale.
"Johnny and Sissy would be easy targets, they are members of the Raging Bulls, having a Raging Bull member turn on one another would be suitable for us" said Buford.
"And that Cleveland Jr. liking that Trixie girl?" asked Dale.
"I'm working on that" said Buford.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Divide and conquer" laughed Buford.
"I'm not so sure about this game" said Baljeet who still had second thoughts.
"Yes, divide then conquer" laughed Dale.
End of Confessions.
As the Silver Spurs sat at their table, Owen a member of the Raging Bulls soon found out that there wasn't enough room for him to sit at his own team's table.
"Oh no, what the heck am I going to do!" cried Owen.
"It's okay I guess" said Sissy, "you can sit somewhere else, but remember, since you're a veteran at this, I hope you know the rules of the game."
"Oh, you bet" said Owen.
"Quick, he's coming, make room for him!" ordered Buford.
"But I am not sure there'll be enough room for any of us" said Baljeet.
"Yeah, what the heck is going on here Buford in inviting someone else from another team over here?" asked Cindy who grew suspicious of Buford's motives.
"Don't worry" said Dale as he grabbed a large piece of wood and extended the Silver Spurs table as he also placed a platform for Owen to eat on, "there improvise!"
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Man, either my dad is following Buford or something is indeed going on here" said Joseph.
"Something's up and I do not like it one bit" said Huey.
"If that idiot wants to force me to move, I'll make him regret it" said Cindy.
End of Confessions.
"Gee, thanks" said Owen as he sat down.
"No problem, we'll do anything to help one another out, and I mean anything" said Buford.
"Yeah, could you pass the salt?" asked Owen to Buford.
"Sure buddy" said Buford as he signaled Owen was likely going to be in his alliance with Dale.
But as there was tension brewing within the Silver Spurs, with the Blazing Saddles, Megan felt very awkward being at the same table as Riley. Obvious age difference between the two made it impossible for Megan to like Riley more.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Riley's a bit too thuggish, sure he has improved, but not much" said Megan.
"Man, even though I'm younger than her, I wish she'd go with me" said Riley.
End of Confessions.
After everyone finished their meals they headed to open prairie where Chris and Blaineley were waiting.
"Today's challenge pays a typical homage to the first season of Total Drama, where you'll be capturing desert or Western critters and bring them back here" said Chris.
"Haven't they done this already before?" asked Blaineley.
"Ah, but a few of these animals have been modified" laughed Chris.
"Modified for what?" asked Jenny.
"You'll especially find out" laughed Chris.
"Alright" said Chef as he stepped in, "each team will be assigned to hunt down an animal and bring it back in this pen. Raging Bulls, you'll typically hunt down a live bull. Silver Spurs, you'll be chasing a roadrunner; Blazing Saddles, you'll be going after a wild horse; Chanting Cherokees, you'll be going after an el chupacabra; Blinding Bandits, you'll be going after the desert tick; Wild Stallions, you'll be going after an eagle; Spinning Six, bring back a vulture; and Racing Rangers bring back a rattlesnake which apparently some of you didn't get when they were released."
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Alright, we get to go after an el chupacabra again!" laughed Frida.
"Yea!" laughed Manny.
"I do not care if they exist, they better if we're going to win this challenge" said Mushi referring to the chupacabra.
End of Confessions.
As Chris signaled the teams to start their search, the Raging Bulls indeed found their bull, and it wasn't interested in noticing them as it was grazing eating some grass.
"Come on, move you stupid bull!" said Sissy as she and Molly were trying to push it.
"Oh, I exactly know to spark the bull's interest" said Owen.
"We're not going to risk you showing the color red" said Marc.
"Oh I am pretty fast" said Owen as he then grabbed Abigail's hat, "hey Mister Bull, look at me, I am wearing red!"
The bull simply ignored Owen and continued to graze.
"Either the bull is color blind or I do not know what else to do" said Owen.
"Give me that" said Abigail as she took her hat back.
The Silver Spurs found their roadrunner and it was pretty fast as he sped right up.
"Grab it!" roared Buford.
"I got it!" said Dale as he grabbed the tail of the roadrunner.
Poor Dale was tossed around as he hit the cactuses, but Dale was able to subdue the roadrunner with Joseph's and Huey's help.
"Not so fast now are you" laughed Dale as the roadrunner was being tied up.
For the Blazing Saddles, they finally came across their wild horse. Cleveland Jr. bravely stepped forth.
"I think I can tame her" said Cleveland Jr.
"How the heck do you know it's a her?" asked Danielle.
"I know these things" said Cleveland Jr.
It went without a hitch as Cleveland Jr. managed to rid the wild horse. For the Chanting Cherokees, it was a wild goose chase so far, no el chupacabra showed up.
"Man, there is no el chupacabra!" cried Manny.
"I knew it, we got the joke animal!" cried Mushi, "We're going to lose for sure!"
"Chupacabras like to eat goats, right?" asked Danny.
"Yea, but we do not see one" said Gaz.
"So why not get some goat meat back in town?" asked Danny.
"Fine" sighed Tak, "I'll volunteer to go."
For the Blinding Bandits, they found their desert tick.
"Hey, that little fella doesn't seem so bad" said Tuck as it hopped on him.
"Careful Tuck, it may suck your blood" said Brad.
"It's not sucking me at all" said Tuck.
"Let me see this so-called tick" said Jenny.
The tick looked hungry, but not for human flesh, instead it began to literally eat Jenny's metal!
Confessions in the Saloon:
"Oh man, I could not believe her face!" laughed Chris, "Oh, thanks to the Test sisters for creating that metal eating desert tick!"
"Mom's going to kill me!" cried Jenny as she showed the parts that were eaten by the tick.
End of Confessions.
Jenny ran for her life as the metal eating tick ran after her. It just so happened that the Wild Stallions along with the Spinning Six's animals were just in the same area. Nick was trying to approach the eagle with caution, while Marceline just grabbed the vulture from its nest, accidently stepping on its eggs.
"Oh, now you've done it" said Rose.
The vulture then began to peck at Spinning Six members, to which they ended up crashing into the Wild Stallions whom also had Chris Griffin crush the eagle's eggs to which the eagle then began to peck at everyone as well. As for the Racing Bulls, Chef pretended there were rattlesnakes still on the lose, so that it'd be an easy win for Paco and his team.
"Here kid" said Chef as Paco met with him secretly, "a rattlesnake already in its trap."
"Gee thanks" said Paco.
"Remember, pretend like you've struggled to get this critter back" said Chef.
"You got it" said Paco.
Paco then came back to his team as he had found the rattlesnake.
"Hey, I found the snake!" said Paco.
"Great, we can finally win this one!" said June as she took the cage and ran heading to the pen.
The Racing Rangers made it first, with the Wild Stallions and Spinning Six tying in second. The Blinding Bandits ended up coming in forth with the Blazing Saddles in fifth. As for the Raging Bulls, Owen had finally managed to get the bull's attention as he poked it with a sharp object which the bull was running right after him.
"Gang way!" cried Owen as the pen opened up with Owen nearly entering the pen not to do the same mistake like before.
The Silver Spurs came in seventh, in spite of Buford's efforts to get his team to apprehend the roadrunner first, but the only team that ended up empty handed were the Chanting Cherokees.
"Wow, Chanting Cherokees it seems you're sadly the only team that did NOT make it" said Chris, "sadly, I wish this was a dual elimination."
"And sadly it isn't for you" laughed Blaineley.
Indeed Blaineley was happy none of her teams were going to have someone be voted off, only two members of the Chanting Cherokees didn't receive a golden wrapped chocolate horseshoe as the camp fire ceremony began after Chris had passed it out to those whom were going to stay which Danny along with Mushi were obviously going to stay. Tak along with Manny were the ones who didn't receive one.
"Tak, you were kind of being rather lazy in not even bothering to get the goat meat that Danny had suggested to lure the el chupacabra out from its hiding" said Chris.
"They do not exist!" roared Tak.
"Colonel Barnes" said Chris as he snapped his fingers, the Colonel brought the cage of the el chupacabra they were supposed to have caught, "and Manny, you said you were also an expert with these critters too."
Chris then waited for the long dramatic pause.
"Last golden wrapped chocolate horseshoe for the night goes to" said Chris as the camera then focused on the two contestants, "Manny. Sorry Tak, you could have done more for your team."
The Carriage of Shame indeed steered up to the camp fire.
"Looks like I'm only going to pick up one at least for now" said Grim as Tak got on where the Carriage of Shame took off.
But as the scene fades, Huey who was using the restroom ran into Cotton's ghost who was wondering about.
"Don't do that!" cried Huey to Cotton.
"Well, sorry" said Cotton, "I know you and your brother Riley have been spying on Ember and Young Blood. I speculate they are working for someone higher up."
"But who?" asked Huey.
"You know that Buford?" asked Cotton.
"Yeah, what about him?" asked Huey.
"Get your team gathered up to go against him in the next challenge" said Cotton, "he's been in an alliance with those two and might be used as a useful pawn."
"Don't worry, you can count on me" said Huey.
Indeed, the meeting with Cotton's ghost was caught on a private camera by Chris.
"Very interesting" said Chris, "will Huey be able to stop Buford and his alliance with Ember and Young Blood? And just who are they really working for? Find out here more on Camp Drama Showdown!"
