Chapter 45: Big Chili Eating Contest

Once again it was time for Chris McLean to give a recap to the audience.

Chris McLean's commentary:

Last time on Camp Drama Showdown, yes another mine craft race, with additional explosive surprises provided thanks to the partnership of M. Bison and his organization. But before that, Wally nearly started to get himself in a brawl, and proved to be a faster runner than Dash or Troy in outrunning June after making some sexist comments toward her.

But that apparently didn't bring any sympathy toward Wally, when he fell off his mine cart and got himself injured for which Edmund nor Zak Monday turned away. Wally would then join Brad, Dexter and Rachel for which Brad gave the honorary wedgie toward Wally while riding on the Carriage of Shame home.

So who'll be voted off next? Find out here on Camp Drama Showdown!

End of commentary.

It was quite a relief for the girls, along with Owen and Cleveland Jr. now that Wally was gone for good. No more sexist or fat jokes would be floating around.

Confessions in the Outhouse:

"I'm so happy that I can be fat and free!" laughed Cleveland Jr.

"Yea, even though Wally was pretty nasty with those fat jokes, I wasn't as sensitive to them as Cleveland Jr. was" said Owen.

"So glad that Wally is gone, gone, gone" laughed June.

"Too bad Wally made those bad choices" said Abigail.

"I'd have given the guy a better wedgie than Brad" said Jenny.

"Even though one troublemaker is down, the arch troublemaker, a certain vampire boy I speculate is up to no good" said Huey referring to Edmund.

End of confessions.

But as everyone was relieved, Edmund was indeed stirring up trouble. It was rather hard for the vampire to find out what challenge would be coming next, and he couldn't guess what it'd be or know what it'd be.

"So who are we going to take down next?" asked Zak Monday to Edmund.

"I think I'd prefer to take on June and Jenny myself, we should take down some of the others" said Edmund.

"You sure about that?" asked Zak Monday.

"Ha, I'll be able to take down those two once I have taken out the others first" continued Edmund.

"Suit yourself, could try getting rid of those two now" sighed Zak Monday.

As day broke, Chef along with Colonel Barnes got them up from their cabins, and they headed for the mess hall. The remaining couples were still happy together as they sat together at the tables. Then it hit Edmund, he had to get anyone who is a couple with another contestant to have emotional pain to get them to be pretty weak.

"I think I might know just the few contestants I can pick on first" said Edmund.

"How much of those lovebirds are left?" asked Zak Monday.

"Probably six or so" continued Edmund, "but it'd be enough for them to go over the top."

"How about that Phineas kid?" asked Zak Monday, "Mr. Pencil-Face kid?"

"He sounds like a good target" continued Edmund, "but I'd rather weaken the other couples first before taking him and Isabella on."

"Sounds like a plan" laughed Zak Monday.

Indeed as Edmund was plotting to tear up a few remaining couples, Riley still wished he and Megan were couples as he sat lonely with Johnny and Cleveland Jr. who still felt sympathetic for his plight.

"Cheer up, you'll get Megan eventually" said Cleveland Jr.

"Yea, the odd thing between Sissy and I, is that we were somewhat enemies" continued Johnny.

"Look, it's not that, it's that she thinks our age differences are different" said Riley.

"Why? There's nothing wrong with a younger man dating an older woman" continued Cleveland Jr., "before my dad remarried, he tried that all the time, even visa versa with the ages."

"You'll get your chance soon enough" said Johnny.

"Well, I hope you're right" said Riley.

After the contestants finished their meals, they headed to the town square again where Chris and Blaineley were waiting.

"Today's challenge is an Chili Taste Test Competition!" laughed Chris.

"And what good is without a Western tradition than having the traditional chili try-outs?" asked Blaineley.

"We have all brands of chili that were brought in, Chef has made his own version of chili, so has Colonel Barnes, Mayor Vlad Masters, M. Bison, Seth, Juri along with Jessie and her four deputies who have their own versions of chili, well not Omi he doesn't know how to cook very well kind of like Chef" laughed Chris.

"We also brought back T. Hawk and El Fuerte to bring their own recipes of chili as well, and we received a late entry from Jade's uncle" said Blaineley.

"The first contestant who tries everyone of the chilies out there, and survives receives immunity" continued Chris.

"Oh boy, chili!" cried Owen as he ran off first with Cleveland Jr. not far behind.

Indeed, Owen and Cleveland Jr. were the first two in line for chili at Chef's table.

"Let's hope your heads won't explode because of it" laughed Chef.

"Don't worry, I can take whatever you cook up" laughed Owen.

Owen and Cleveland Jr. tried one sip of Chef's chili, and still nothing after ten seconds. They headed to the next table where Colonel Barnes was there to show off his chili with Hank Hill and John Redcorn helping him out.

"Come on, I want to try the chili!" said Cleveland Jr. quite impatiently.

"You'll all get your fair share" said Colonel Barnes.

While Owen and Cleveland Jr. continued to be in a tie testing chili out, Edmund could tolerate all brands of chili, except Juri's chili which had Korean garlic in it. The vampire did his best to hold in the smell of garlic, even passing the ten seconds mark in spite of himself being a vampire, before going around the corner and barfing out the chili Juri had made. Marc could handle most of the chilis, until he got to El Fuerte's chili, which was rather quite disgusting and spicy forcing Marc to run and find water.

Confessions in the Saloon:

"I don't understand, why does everyone hate my cooking?" cried El Fuerte.

"Poor, poor Marc" sighed Libby, "not his fault El Fuerte made that chili."

"He's bad as a fighter as much as he's a cook" laughed T. Hawk who fought El Fuerte in matches before.

"The guy makes me sound like a better cook" said Chef.

End of confessions.

Reggie was able to ironically pass El Fuerte's chili, and move onto Clay's chili after passing Jessie's chili test.

"Let's hope you like it hot, hot, hot!" laughed Clay as he poured some in her cup.

As Reggie had a sip of the chili, she didn't even last for about ten seconds, more like three and ran to try to find water being quite hot. Nick too also managed to get up to Clay's chili, and had to run for it as well. Next was Jazz who was able to pass Clay's chili, but when she came across Uncle Chan's chili, it was too much, she had to head toward the restroom immediately as it seems Uncle had placed some ingredients that were not very digestible.

Confessions in the Outhouse:

"El Fuerte's not the worse cook ever, Jade's uncle is!" cried Jazz.

"How come no one likes Uncle's cooking?" cried Uncle.

"And here I thought my cooking was being labeled horrible" said El Fuerte who was rather surprised.

"I guess he's not so bad after all" said T. Hawk referring to El Fuerte, "there are others who are worse."

End of confessions.

Indeed, no one could pass Uncle Chan's chili but were able to mostly pass everyone else's chili in the taste testing competition. The only four who were able to pass it up were Edmund, Zak Monday, Owen and Cleveland Jr.

"Well, it seems like we have a four-way tie" laughed Chris to which he turned to Muriel who was with him, "you said you were not ready to bring out your brand of chili for this competition, were you not?"

"Oh my, I don't think anyone could stomach my chili" said Muriel.

"Well, we're going to need it to break the four-way tie" laughed Chris.

DJ along with Trent and Duncan brought out Muriel's chili which was in a big pot. As it was placed on a large fire place, she began to cook up the chili. As one fly landed on the chili and drank it, it then exploded into pieces scaring everyone along with making Courage faint. After a few minutes of heating her chili, she poured some in four cups for the four.

"Mmm, smells good" said Owen.

Owen immediately took the first shot and drank down the chili, to which as Courage was waking up, he then fainted again as he couldn't believe someone like Owen could stand Muriel's brand of cooking.

"Delicious, more please!" laughed Owen.

Next was Cleveland Jr., followed by Edmund and Zak Monday who drank their chili. Suddenly there was some rumbling in Owen's tummy, along with Cleveland Jr.'s.

"Oh uh, someone get me to the restroom, I think I had too much chili!" cried Owen who was about to have quite a dramatic problem in the restroom.

But it was sadly too late, Owen let out a large fart cloud which made poor Jimmy, Ray Ray, Joseph and Jade faint. Cleveland Jr. however was lucky to get to a restroom in time.

"Wow, sounds like even though you four all passed the final tie-breaker test, I guess it wouldn't hurt giving the four of you immunity" said Chris, "as for the others, time to vote off four more people."

After a few hours of rest, it was finally the camp fire ceremony, the contestants who did not receive immunity were once again called upon to vote off four contestants. Typically enough, Jimmy, Marc, Ray Ray, Nick, Jazz, Joseph, Jade and Reggie didn't get golden wrapped chocolate horseshoes for the night.

"If Owen didn't passed the ten second mark, he'd be rightfully here with the rest of you, but sadly he's not, Jimmy, Ray Ray you two fainted due to Owen's fart cloud, Marc, Nick you couldn't muster up in taking the chili tasting challenge" said Chris.

"Jazz, Reggie, I'm disappointed in your performances, Joseph, Jade, next time you're near Owen, wear a gas mask" said Blaineley.

"Last golden wrapped chocolate horseshoes for the night goes to" said both Chris and Blaineley as they were waiting for the dramatic pause, "Jimmy, Ray Ray, Joseph and Jade!"

"Don't worry Marc" said Libby as she gave him a hug and a kiss goodbye, "I'll do my best to win this."

"I wish we were like that" sighed Riley to Megan.

"Not going to happen for now" said Megan.

"Stay safe" said Nick who gave Jade a hug as the Carriage of Shame road up to the camp fire.

"Come on, time's a wasting" laughed Grim.

"Well, at least I get to join my brother" said Jazz as she got onto the Carriage of Shame.

"Yea, yea" said Grim, "just get on will ya?"

As those who were voted off got onto the Carriage of Shame, the Carriage of Shame road off into the sunset, but as the scene changes, a certain Cotton was stirring as he was meeting up with Riley, Huey and Jazmine.

"That vampire boy is going to pull something big, I can feel it" said Cotton.

"I say we take his second in command out, Zak Monday" said Huey, "we can nail in the coffin from there."

"That sounds like a perfect plan, however, I've been looking around and investigating his Saturday counterpart, even though they're supposedly the opposite, he helped get Tuck injured in a previous challenge" continued Cotton.

"Sounds like the Zaks need to go down" laughed Riley.

"We need to drum up support for this one" said Jazmine.

"You three go and do just that" laughed Cotton as he floated off.

Indeed they were being watched by Chris through a variety of private cameras he was controlling.

"Well, sounds like Riley is going to wail on the Zaks, will taking down Zak Monday injure Edmund's chances of winning the game and the 25 million dollar reward? Will Riley himself ever get a chance to be with Megan? And what other deeds does Edmund have in store? Find out next time here on Camp Drama Showdown!" laughed Chris.
