Chapter 31: Muriel's Pecan Pie Eating Contest
Once again, it was Eustace's turn to give a recap to the audience.
Eustace's Commentary:
Last time on Camp Drama Showdown, it was an old fashion Texas style oil search! The contestants all they had to do was dig for oil! But somehow, the Racing Rangers and the Spinning Six came across sewage pipelines instead! Making me believe they were sabotage, don't know how, but they were.
Paco, who revealed himself to be a big faker after the other teams had voted for their own people to go took Ray Ray's place going along with Dale, Gaz, and Spud. So who'll be voted off next? Find out here on Camp Drama Showdown!
End of Commentary.
Poor Chris McLean was still sitting in jail along with Blaineley and the others. They were being watched by Alejandro and Heather who were put in charge. Outside the prison door, M. Bison was there for simple business reasons as he knocked on the door.
"Sorry, no visitors are allowed" said Alejandro.
"But I'm approved by the mayor to come to see Chris McLean" said M. Bison, "along with also Vicky and Eustace, they approved it as well."
"Fine" said Alejandro as he allowed M. Bison to step in.
Chris soon found himself what seemed like an interrogation room, where poor Chris was still in handcuffs as he was brought to the other side.
"You have only thirty minutes for this visit" said Heather.
As Heather and Alejandro left to watch the other prisoners, M. Bison took out from his pocket what seemed like a contract.
"What the heck is this all about?" asked Chris.
"A proposal" said M. Bison, "I can get you out of prison along with everyone else, and Vicky and Eustace will be soon gone as well."
"That sounds reasonable, but what about Alejandro and Heather, they'll have to go back into their cells" said Chris.
"That's why I have this contract that states otherwise, along with also forgiving a certain Edmund for any wrongdoing he may have committed during the Aftermath, upgrading him to be a co-host for the Aftermath show" continued M. Bison.
"That crazy vampire boy, you allowed this to happen over a crazy vampire boy?" asked Chris.
"Yes, we're indeed professionals when it comes to causing chaos, now I've asked Heather and Alejandro to allow you along with Blaineley and the others to vote on the contract" said M. Bison, "in a few days, I'll return with permission from the mayor, Vicky and Eustace."
After a few moments of reviewing the contract, Chris was led back into his cell by Alejandro and Heather.
"What do you have there Chris?" asked Beth.
"It's an ultimatum from this Edmund kid" said Chris.
"What, what does it say?" asked Blaineley.
"We have to place him as a co-host on the Aftermath show, if we want to get the heck out of here" said Chris.
Everyone except for Alejandro and Heather groaned.
"There's no way I'll support this!" said Blaineley.
"No other choice of us getting out of here" said Chris.
"So why not vote on it?" asked Hank.
"Good idea" said Chris, "we'll tally the votes and give it to M. Bison when he returns, hopefully."
As Chris and the others continued to debate on the ultimatum contract, a few hours later it was finally time for everyone to get up, Vicky was the one who was happily getting up as she kept on pouring buckets of icy cold water on everyone.
"Time to get up!" laughed Vicky.
"This can't get any worse" sighed Molly.
"I say it's a good idea we don't share any feelings for each other until the reign of Vicky and Eustace are over" said Sissy as she and the others got out of the cabins.
"Agreed" said Johnny.
Confessions in the Saloon:
"Even though I love Danielle, it'd sadly be off until these two tyrants are gone" said Hiro.
"Man this puts me in a rough edge" said Riley who wanted another shot with Megan.
"I can't spend time with Trixie" sighed Cleveland Jr.
"I hope this is over soon, even if one of us couples end up being voted off, we can always be together in the Aftermath" said Rose.
End of Confessions.
It seemed like it was going to be quite a typical horrible breakfast as poor Muriel was being forced to make them their food. Courage was on patrol trying to find out what might have sabotage the Spinning Six and the Racing Rangers. He noticed Young Blood who was rather unhappy that he didn't win the challenge.
"What are you looking at?" asked Young Blood to Courage.
Courage in his own language tried to understand Young Blood's plight.
"Bah, that Vicky, she said she was going to help me win the challenge" said Young Blood who began ranting to Courage, "I cannot believe she lied to me!"
Courage thought for a moment or two to which Young Blood handed Courage over the evidence he needed.
"Here, this is what Vicky gave to me during the last challenge" said Young Blood.
"You cheated?" cried June as she noticed Young Blood handing Courage the evidence.
"Listen, it's not like that!" cried Young Blood as June was approaching Young Blood.
"I do not care if you're a ghost or not, you're going to go down in the next challenge" said June.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Man, and I thought Paco was bad when he admitted an illegal alliance with Chef" said Jade who oversaw June's anger.
"Boy, Young Blood, you're really blowing this" said Ray Ray.
"If our team won, we wouldn't be fighting like this!" cried Young Blood to which he heard a loud knock on the door.
"I'm coming in after you!" said June who was trying to scare him.
"That Vicky!" cried Rose who was quite upset that she also fell for the trick map.
"I thought Rose would be more honest than that" said Bobby.
End of Confessions.
Tensions between the Racing Rangers were brewing, along with Bobby having doubts of the Spinning Six being trustful. As for the Wild Stallions, Rachel was quite concern of Jake being in a relationship with Rose as Rachel could feel Rose thought she could cheat her way to victory.
"That girlfriend of yours Rose should come clean" said Rachel to Jake.
"What, what are you talking about?" asked Jake.
"Just listen, Young Blood admitted of having a fake cheat sheet map of all the oil spots in the last challenge, and you're not worried one ounce that Rose might have took a peak at that map?" continued Rachel.
"Look, just get over this already" said Jake who was defensive about Rose.
Suddenly as the contestants waited for their food, Cleveland Jr. could sense a strange but familiar smell.
"Doesn't anyone else smell that, it sounds like pie!" cried Cleveland Jr. with excitement.
Muriel indeed came into the scene with a crate load of pies being pulled in, it was a pecan pie.
Confessions in the Saloon:
"Something doesn't make sense, these two are so nasty to us, they wouldn't allow this kind of treatment" said Nick.
"I wonder if they put poison in those pies" said Zak Monday.
"Has to be a trick" said Reggie.
"Not touching those pies" said Riley who didn't trust Vicky nor Eustace.
End of Confessions.
"Alright twerps" said Vicky, "this is a simple challenge, an old fashion Western-southern style pie eating contest."
"You call that a challenge, I thought you were going to torture us like usual" said Molly.
"We're getting to that!" roared Eustace.
"There is a special ingredient we've added to spice things up" continued Vicky.
"The team that has the most pies finished wins" said Eustace.
But before the teams could begin, Vicky signaled Timmy to meet with her again.
"Just what the heck are you trying to pull here giving us these very sweet pies?" asked Timmy.
"Listen twerp, don't tell anyone, but we've asked Muriel to add several tons of vinegar, along with some other nasty spices" said Vicky.
"You're not putting poison in them are you?" asked Timmy.
"And risk us being arrested, no way" said Vicky to which she handed over Mama DJ's special spice, "this is what I swiped from DJ's inventory when he was placed in the big house with Chris, it'd wipe out the nasty taste everyone else is forced to eat."
As Timmy took Mama DJ's spice, he immediately headed back to his team, as the challenge began, Eustace himself had added several other spices that Muriel would not normally use to some of the pies. His main target were the Blazing Saddles, as he speculated that Vicky was playing favorites with Timmy, but also wanted to go after the Silver Spurs. As Cleveland Jr. took one bite of the pie, nothing seemed to happen, but as Megan took the pie she literally barfed it up along with Riley doing the same.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"Now that's some payback!" laughed Eustace.
"I don't understand why people don't like my pies" said Muriel.
"Yuck!" said Courage who had to taste some of the pies before the challenge.
End of Confessions.
Timmy secretly placed some of Mama DJ's spice onto his pie and ate it with no problem, a few minutes into the challenge and members of the Silver Spurs were not feeling so well. Joseph literally had to leave to head to the restroom; Zoe threw up on Eustace which he didn't like, but the prisoners in their cells who were watching the challenge laughed. Sally felt sick and laid down with Zak Saturday doing the same as well. Baljeet on the other hand seemed to oddly be immune from whatever spices Eustace had added, as he was the only team member standing.
Confessions in the Outhouse:
"I don't know what everyone seems to be complaining about these pies, they're okay I guess, but they shouldn't be making you get sick" said Baljeet.
"So sick" said Zak Saturday who wasn't feeling so well and was obviously turning green on the camera.
End of Confessions.
But the Silver Spurs were not the only ones getting sick, the Blinding Bandits had also eaten some of Eustace and Muriel's pies, poor Reggie was about to throw up as she did right on Vicky when she came into the scene.
Confessions in the Saloon:
"Oh man, that is too funny!" laughed Timmy.
"That twerp better watch it!" cried Vicky after she was likely cleaned up.
"Oh my" sighed Muriel as she couldn't understand this gross out behavior.
End of Confessions.
Jenny of the Blinding Bandits typically couldn't feel a thing as she tasted the pie, likewise with Ember and Young Blood. But as the others began to fall, the Silver Spurs fell first with Jimmy and Cindy giving up; next domino was the Chanting Cherokees; and then the Wild Stallions. Rose surprisingly had a strong enough stomach to take on the food, along with June who was helping Young Blood despite herself not liking him to cheat in the last challenge.
"It's come down to four teams" said Eustace as he noticed Cleveland Jr. along with Timmy were still standing in their team.
"Alright, let's make this the final round, the last team that has the most pies eaten up wins the entire challenge" said Vicky.
As the teams geared up for the final round, Rose didn't look so good. Vicky then shot a gun filled with blanks starting the final round to which Cleveland Jr. ate away along with Timmy, Jenny was catching up, and Ember, Young Blood and June were too. Rose could hardly take a bite of the pie that was in front of her, and instead ended up barfing right on Vicky and Eustace making everyone laugh at them.
"I think I know who the winner is" said Vicky, "the Blazing Saddles!"
"And I suppose we should include the Raging Bulls and the Racing Rangers in that category too, with also the Blinding Bandits" said Eustace.
"Fine" said Vicky, "but it seems there'll be a few teams that'd vote someone off.
Indeed, there were quite some tensions, for the Silver Spurs, Huey was the only one who wasn't as sick as the others, but the one who was the sickest was Zoe; the Wild Stallions, Rachel and Jake had some pre-challenge tensions; the Chanting Cherokees couldn't decide on who to vote off; and the Spinning Six sadly had its eyes set on Rose.
"Okay, let's go to your confessions" laughed Vicky.
Silver Spurs confessions:
"Between you and me, I'd have to say that Zoe is the sickest one" said Huey.
"Zoe" said Zak Saturday who ended up having his face turn green.
"Zoe" said Sally.
"Zoe" said Joseph.
"I'd say Joseph" said Zoe, "since he went first."
"Zoe, I cannot believe someone like her cannot love those pies" said Baljeet.
End of confessions.
Chanting Cherokees:
"Wally should go" said Libby, "he's driving me crazy still being here."
"I cannot say, but it'd be Libby, I cannot vote down Wally, even if he is sexist" said Mushi as she was referring to Wally liking her older sister Kuki.
"Libby, she can't keep on being so bossy" said Danny.
"Libby" said Wally.
End of confessions.
Wild Stallions confessions:
"I'd say Jake has to go, he's been annoying me ever since he's protecting Rose from cheating in the last challenge" said Rachel.
"Rachel, she's going to slip up soon, and this is it for her" said Jake.
"Rachel, sorry, have to side with my brother" said Haley.
"Jake, sorry, your girl is a bad seed" said Nick.
"Jake, sorry man" said Chris Griffin.
End of confessions.
Spinning Six confessions:
"Rose, sorry I have to do this, but I need to stay honest" said Bobby.
"Rose, sorry to do this to you, but I felt Spud might have been sadly right" said Trixie.
"I'd choose-" said Rose but before she could say whoever she wanted to be voted off, her face indeed turned quite green.
"Sorry Rose, no cheaters allowed" said Sheldon.
End of confessions.
"Well, looks like we got a tie for the Chanting Cherokees, but since I'm in no mood for a tie breaker, you're votes are null and void" laughed Vicky, "looks like Zoe, Rose and Jake will take the Carriage of Shame home!"
Grim steered the Carriage of Shame to the camp fire to pick up the three.
"Come on, me shows are going to be on soon" said Grim.
"Coming" said Rose who was still quite sick.
As the trio got onto the Carriage of Shame and left heading to the sunset, the scene changes to Buford who was back at the hotel as he along with Marceline were trying to summon Cotton's spirit.
"Oh spirit of Cotton Hill, please show yourself" said Marceline.
"Alright, alright" said Cotton as he appeared, "listen, I had to travel some distance."
"I would like to redeem myself to apologize to my friends" said Buford, "we need to lead a revolt against Eustace and Vicky."
"Hmm, sounds risky knowing they got those two ghost allies of theirs too" said Cotton.
"Look, just find a way to get through to someone" said Buford, "tell them that I sent ya."
"Got it" said Cotton as he headed back.
But as Cotton was leaving, Chris was still reviewing M. Bison's contract with the others in prison, a vote was tallied, as Chef counted everyone, most of them had little choice but to support the ultimatum.
"Well, it's sadly official, Edmund will become a co-host for the Aftermath show" said Chris, "and whatever happens there can also be determined as well for the future."
"I'll take that" said Alejandro after Chris signed the contract, "I'll notify Mr. Bison immediately."
"Wow, what a season!" laughed Chris, "No one has ever pulled this on me before, will Edmund make it to become a co-host for the upcoming Aftermath after the next challenge? Will I and the others ever get free? And will Vicky and Eustace be joining those who'd be voted off onto the Carriage of Shame in the next challenge? Find out here more on Camp Drama Showdown!"
But as camera faded on Chris, it turned to Jade's two uncles, Tohru, Courtney and Zerg who came back with some important information.
"I was right!" laughed Zerg, "There is a big feud going on between Vicky and Eustace, but neither is budging!"
"So we need to even it out in the next challenge" said Jackie.
"I'll give you details on the next challenge when it develops" laughed Zerg.
