Chris: Last time on Total Drama Action - Chef pressured me and producers to make a Drag runway challenge. Nichelle and Raj were the models for Tired Screenwriters, while Axel and Wayne modeled for Angry Directors.
Footage of the aforementioned 4 walking down the runway is played.
Chris: The rest of their teammates were either diving to the pull full of clothes and a certain beast named Karen or they were dealing with costumes, hair and make-up.
Next footage played is Damien being thrashed around by the squid monster, followed by Julia making changes to Wayne's dress.
Chris: In the end, despite Zee not showing up for the challenge, Scary Girl's amazing make-up skills guaranteed her team their 1st victory. At the elimination ceremony we said goodbye to Chase and luckily for us, this time Emma didn't go back to him!
The scene of Angry Directors celebrating is played. Next is the footage of Chase's elimination, which ends with Emma slapping him after he thought she wanted to kiss him.
Chris: While everyone could expect this elimination, who expected Priya to find the hidden immunity idol? What is she going to do with it? Is she going to play it correctly? Is she going to play it at all? Find out in today's episode of Total. Drama. ACTION!
…
Intro begins with the camera flying through the filming lot. It stops at a beach set, where shirtless Caleb is sunbathing. He gets a jealous look from Bowie who's making out with Raj, the hockey bro being too focused on his boyfriend to even pay attention to Caleb. The camera moves again to a set that looks like a very dark and creepy forest. Emma and Chase are sitting on a bench kissing, while a bush behind them starts moving. Suddenly a masked character with a chainsaw jumps out of it scaring the couple and causing Chase to push Emma, while he himself runs away. The masked character starts to giggle and takes off the mask revealing herself to be Lauren. The camera moves a bit to the side as Chase passes by Millie, Priya and Damien. Millie is holding her notebook and looks like she's about to write something there, but stops herself and puts it back. Meanwhile Priya and Damien are talking about something with Priya blushing. The nice conversation between the two stops when they see Millie running from something and they immediately start running after her, as Lauren starts chasing them with a chainsaw. When they disappear out of sight, Axel reveals herself, camouflaged to be almost completely unidentifiable from the trees. The camera moves again to the cafeteria where Nichelle vents about something to Zee and Ripper. While Zee seems to be amused, Ripper is visibly bored, so he farts to entertain himself. Nichelle immediately starts gagging and runs past MK who holds something in her hand, but hides it in her jacket as soon as she notices the actress. At last the camera shows the big theater where Chris and Chef are standing, both wearing matching, fancy suits. Then it pans to the audience, where Wayne and Julia, both wearing formal outfits, are sitting next to each other. The Hockey Bro is smiling at the girl, who's too busy using her phone, but after a few seconds she notices him smiling… Just to go back to her phone, causing Wayne's smile to disappear. The camera then shows the whole shot of the audience, showing that all of the contestants are there, wearing fancy suits or gowns. The intro ends with showing the logo of the season that is nearly identical to the original Total Drama Action.
…
Priya was standing before the entrance of the bathhouse, waiting for something when Damien came out of it. He looked a bit embarrassed seeing his girlfriend.
Damien: Priya? You should have knocked, I wouldn't take such a long shower if I knew you were waiting to get in.
Priya: No, no, I was waiting, but for you. Listen, I have something to tell you.
Damien: Should I be worried or…
Priya: No, no, just… Look.
She looked around to make sure that no one was overhearing them, then she pulled the hidden immunity idol out of her pocket, while Damien just looked confused.
Damien: Why do you have a figure of Chris' head?
Priya: Ugh, this is not just a figure! It's the hidden immunity idol.
The boy gasped, surprised and after a moment hugged Priya with a big grin on his face.
Damien: This is amazing, honey! What are you planning on doing with it?
Priya: I… I wanted to give it to you.
Damien: Say sike right now.
Priya: It might be cockiness, but I feel safe on my team. I'm useful, nice and despite winning the previous season, I'm managing to stay under the radar, but you? Millie got eliminated, your alliance with Axel didn't work out and with Julia controlling your team, you might be the next target. I want you to take it and use it to eliminate either Julia, Scary Girl or Axel.
She put the idol in his hands and after a moment of hesitation the boy nodded and put it into the pocket of his jacket, then grabbed Priya by her waist and kissed her passionately, causing the girl to blush.
Damien: Thank you Priya. If me, Zee and Wayne would vote together it would still result in a tie and I don't think we could beat any of the girls, but now, we have a shot at getting one of them out!
Priya: Keep it a secret though. Zee and Wayne aren't the sharpest and could accidentally spill the beans. - Damien nodded and the girl smiled - Okay, now let's go to the cafeteria, I don't want others to get suspicious.
The couple started to make their way towards the cafeteria and as soon as they were gone, the camera panned to the roof of the bathhouse, where Lauren was laying, giggling and kicking her legs in excitement.
Lauren: Well, well, well, if this isn't useful info to know!
She jumped out of the building and giggled to herself as she happily started to skip towards the cafeteria.
…
At the cafeteria, most of the contestants were writing something on small paper cards, while Zee was standing next to something akin to an election box. Priya and Damien walked in and confused about the sight, they turned their attention towards MK who was the only one not writing.
Damien: Um, what's going on?
MK: Ugh, Raj mentioned to Zee how we played around the possibility of Chase having an idol, so Zee came up with an idea that we all make a prediction on what we think the next challenge theme is going to be. Whoever guesses it correctly will have a right to look for the immunity idol.
The couple quickly exchanged looks before checking their surroundings. They stared in confusion as even Julia and Bowie submitted their guesses.
Damien: Wow, even you 2 are taking part in this?
Julia: What? It's a good idea!
Julia(confessional): It's a thrash idea, but…
Bowie(confessional): …Everyone will have their eyes on the winners of it…
A split screen happened with footage of both of their confessionals being played simultaneously.
Bowie and Julia(confessional): …Which will allow me to look for it without any suspicion! I just need to look out for Julia/Bowie, cause she/he probably has the same idea.
Priya(confessional): It's hard to keep myself from laughing seeing everyone make a game out of who can search for the idol that was already found! Luckily, I went to a poker camp, so I know exactly how to keep a poker face!
Priya covers her mouth trying to keep herself from laughing, causing MK to raise her brow.
MK: Everything's alright?
Priya: Yes, of course! Just …Um… What is your guess?
MK: I'm not playing. Let's be honest, everyone with an iq above 80 will still be looking for that idol. That's everyone except hockey players, Nichelle, Zee and Scary Girl.
Lauren: Are you calling me dumb?
The trio jumped as a purple haired girl suddenly appeared behind MK with a sinister look on her face. The short girl immediately tried to laugh it all and try to not look intimidated.
MK: No, no, no! Me calling you dumb? Pfff, never!
The taller girl started to slowly approach MK, who was trying to back away, however Zee caught their attention when he suddenly called out in their direction.
Zee: Yo, Priya, Damien, SG! Wanna take part in the prediction game?
Lauren: Sure, sounds fun!
Lauren skipped her way towards Zee and snatched a card out of his hand, leaving relieved MK.
Damien: Nah, I think we're goo-
Priya: Yeah, sure! Give us a second!
Zee showed thumbs up and started drinking his soda, while the girl started whispering to, confused Damien.
Priya: We don't want anyone to get suspicious of us. Let's just take part in this, it's not like it matters.
Damien: Ohhh, gotcha!
They made their way towards Zee who handed them cards and pens. As they wrote their predictions, they split and went to sit with their teammates.
The blonde hockey bro was playing with his food, just looking down, when he noticed Damien sitting down.
Damien: Hi Wayne, you're sitting alone?
Wayne: Oh, yeah. Bowie didn't let me sit with him and Rajie.
He looked at the other side of the cafeteria where Bowie was telling something to the Raj, who was laughing.
Damien: Well, do you mind if I sit here?
Wayne: Not at all.
The science nerd sat down next to the blonde boy.
Damien: So… - The boy looked around and got closer to Wayne and started whispering - We have a problem.
Wayne gulped, scared of what Damien wanted to talk about.
Wayne: Uhhh, I don't know, what are you talking about?
Damien: The mean girls alliance. - The boy stared at the trio of Axel, Julia and Scary Girl sitting together - Because Zee is an idiot, they voted off Millie and one of us will be next if we don't do something.
Wayne silently let out a sigh of relief when the science nerd wasn't looking.
Wayne(confessional): For a moment there I was really worried that Damien figured out that I voted for Millie. I know that he and especially Priya will get really upset once they realize it and I would prefer it if it happens after the game ends.
Wayne: Okay, but there's 3 of them, so what do you want to do?
Damien: We vote together and I make sure that Zee doesn't commit clownery and votes with us.
Wayne: That's still 3 against 3 and a tie this early on would lead to a tie breaker challenge. I don't think any of us can beat either of the girls, all of them are comp beasts.
Damien: Don't worry, I will deal with it!
Wayne: …How?
Damien: Umm… I will tell Scary Girl that one of her allies was flirting with me and convince her to vote for them, while the 3 of us votes for her. She's obsessed with me, so it probably should work!
Wayne nodded when suddenly Julia came up to the 2 boys and looked at them suspicious.
Julia: What are the 2 of you buttknuckles talking about?
Damien: Nothing!
Julia, unconvinced, looked at Wayne who just nodded.
Julia: …I will keep an eye out for you.
The blonde girl walked away, while Damien rolled his eyes.
Damien: She is so…
Wayne: Strong.
Damien: …Annoying. Wait, what did you say?
Wayne: Uhhh… She's a strong competitor! Great at strategy, challenges. If she was a bit nicer, she could be unstoppable at this game.
Damien nodded and the two boys stared in Julia's direction. Damien with annoyance, while Wayne had a slight smile on his face. Camera then panned to Priya sitting down with Emma and Caleb.
Priya: Hi, do you mind if I sit here?
Emma: Go ahead! Me and Caleb were just talking about our predictions.
Priya: Wanna share them?
Caleb: I think it could be like a beach movie. How to raise the ratings if not by showing hot, young people in swimsuits?
Priya: Ohhh, I haven't even thought of it! I wrote horror movies, I can't imagine that we won't get a challenge based on them. What about you Emma?
Emma: Well, knowing my luck, it will be romance movies.
The girl chuckled akwardly as Caleb put his hand on her shoulder.
Caleb: Hey, don't worry about that jerk.
Priya: Caleb's right! You will find someone much better!
Emma: No, I don't think I will be looking for a relationship for a long time.
Priya: Oh, that's so understandable! It's not like you need one when you have friends like Caleb or Bowie.
The blonde girl looked down even more upset hearing this, while Caleb shook his head, causing Priya to look confused.
Priya: What?
Emma: Me and Bowie aren't really friends anymore.
The dark haired girl got red from embarrassment and immediately started apologizing.
Priya: Oh my, I'm so, so sorry Emma!
Emma: No, don't worry.
Emma(confessional): I wanna make up with Bowie, I really do, but if I apparently deserve a better boyfriend than Chase, Bowie definitely deserves a better friend than me.
At this moment Chris walked in and he looked just as confused as Priya and Damien when they showed up at the cafeteria.
Chris: Should I be worried about why Zee is conducting an election?
Zee: It's not an election! It's a prediction game, the winner or winners will be free to look for the immunity idol!
Chris: That's… Such a dumb idea, of course you would come up with it!
Zee: Thanks dude!
Chris: That was not a compliment. Anyway, you guys shouldn't even bother. The idol was already found, so all of this was just a waste of time.
Everyone stared at MK, who just looked confused.
MK: What?
Zee: Well, I can't talk for everyone, but to me it's really suspicious how you're the only one who didn't take part in my game. Kinda seems like you already knew that the idol was found!
The girl just looked dumbfounded being caught completely off-guard by the accusations.
MK: You're kidding, right?
The boy shook his head and took a sip from his soda can.
MK(confessional): Ugh, great! Now everyone thinks I have the idol! I wish I had it, but nope, I searched for it everywhere, including the theater, but it was all for nothing, cause someone lucked their way into finding it before me.
Chris: As much as I love the drama, we're on a very tight schedule, so go change into your swimsuits and when you're done, Chef will take you to the set where the next challenge will take place!
Emma and Priya looked impressed with Caleb.
Emma: Seems like it may be a beach challenge.
…
Lauren and Julia were waiting before the entrance of the bathhouse, when Nichelle came out of it. Julia stared annoyed at the actress.
Julia: Took you long enough.
Nichelle: Duuuh, you can't rush perfection!
Nichelle walked over as Julia rolled her eyes, but suddenly she was yanked by her ally, right into the small building.
Julia: What the heck you psycho?!
Scary Girl just laughed, causing blondie to grow more and more irritated.
Lauren: I think I have very useful info you may like!
Julia: Then what are you waiting for? Spill it then!
Lauren: Sure! Buuut… - Julia let out a sigh of annoyance while Lauren became even more excited - We're going to have a giiiirl night! Just the 2 of us!
Julia: Yeah, so you can chop off my head when everyone else is sleeping? No thanks, no info is worth it.
Julia started to walk away as Lauren looked at the floor with a face of a sad puppy.
Lauren: Ohhh. I thought that you would like to know who has the idol, but oh well.
Immediately Julia stopped in her tracks and turned to face her teammate.
Julia: You found it?!
Lauren: No. But! I do know who has it.
She smirked as her team clutched her head, defeated.
Julia: Fine! We will have a girl's night!
Scary Girl hugged the other girl who already looked like she regretted it.
Lauren: Friends! …Also, if I wanted to chop off your head, I would already do it.
…
The 13 contestants were standing at a "beach" in front of a huge lake. each of them wearing a swimsuit. Priya, Nichelle, Lauren, Axel and Caleb were all wearing the same swimsuits as in the intro from the 1st season. Julia wore a pink bikini with a light-blue beach skirt and had her hair tied up in a bun. Wayne and Raj were both wearing dark blue speedos. MK had a more modest red and black one-piece that ended right before her calves. Both Damien and Bowie were wearing green shorts, but with Bowie's being in much lighter shade. Emma had a white two piece with a blue polka dot print and lastly, Zee wore the same shorts as always, but instead of his usual yellow t-shirt, he had a white tank top on.
Priya: Wow, I didn't know there was such a big lake here.
Chris: Cause there wasn't one! It's a fake lake that we built for this show!
Julia: The budget really increased, huh.
Chris: It did, thanks for noticing! Today's theme is survival movies! - The contestants raised their eyebrows in confusion - You know, like the ones where a plane crashes and a group of survivors are left stranded on an island? - The teenagers now nodded understanding what is awaiting them - In this lake, there's 6 small islands, each with different resources. 4 of them will have 1 member from each team, one island will be occupied by 2 members of Screenwriters, and the last one will have 2 Directors on it.
Bowie: That still leaves 1 member of our team, do we have to sit someone out again?
Chris: Nope! The last person from your team will be giving instructions and communicating with the stranded contestants through walkie-talkie, BUT, only 3 islands will have one, leaving the other 3 completely cut from any plans you make, unless they figure out a different way to communicate.
MK: So… How do we win this challenge?
Chris: You have to swim back to me, duh. You can use any resources found on the islands or you can just swim here, doesn't matter. The 1st team that will get back, wins the challenge. Now, you guys are free to pair up and personally I advise you to first choose the same team pairs.
Both teams got together in their circles for a team meeting. In screenwriters it was Bowie who took on the leadership role.
Bowie: I'm fine with pairing up with Raj.
Caleb: I don't know, I think we should let Raj pair up with Wayne.
Raj: Yeah, sorry Bowie, but I also think that it's a good plan. How about we put Caleb and Emma on the same island?
Caleb shook his head.
Caleb: The other team is probably going to try and steal all resources for themselves, so if it comes down to this, me and Emma will be able to fight back for anything useful. With all respect, I think that Nichelle and MK should be paired up together as the weakest links.
The girls exchanged looks and shrugged.
MK: I'm fine with that.
Nichelle: We made a pretty decent team in the trial challenge, so maybe we can repeat our success.
Emma: Okay, but who stays here to give instructions?
Everyone looked at Bowie who just sighed.
Bowie: Fine, I will stay behind.
While Tired Screenwriters were already pretty much done, The Angry Directors didn't have this smooth of a meeting.
Lauren: I propose, me and Damien!
The boy immediately looked terrified.
Damien: No! I… Uh… I think you should be on an island with someone from the other team.
Lauren: And why is that?
She smiled at him in her usual creepy fashion.
Damien: Umm, they will probably try to take all the resources for themselves, but they won't dare to do that if they're on the same island as you.
Axel nodded.
Axel: He's right.
The goth girl looked down at the floor, upset, but she nodded her head, agreeing with the 2, causing Damien to let out a sigh of relief.
Wayne: Well then, I can be with Julia.
Julia: No, I think it's for the best if we pair you up with Raj. He won't try any dirty tricks against you.
As the rest of the team agreed with the blonde girl, Damien looked at Wayne, suspicious of the boy.
Damien(confessional): Wayne's first thought was to pair up with Julia and not his best friend? That's weird. That's suspicious.
Zee: Me and Damien can be together then.
Julia nodded as Lauren stared jealous at the soda guy.
Chris: You guys done? - He smiled as both teams nodded their heads - Great, what are the pairs?
From the yellow team, MK and Nichelle raised their hands, while in the blue team, Damien immediately raised his hand, but had to tap Zee with his elbow, as the taller boy wasn't listening.
Zee: What? Oh, yeah.
The amputee also raised his hand, causing Chris to smile in delight.
Chris: Great, now what are the other pairs? - His smile quickly turned into an expression of annoyance as nobody moved - You were supposed to pair up already! I only suggested that first, you should decide the same team pairs! Ugh! …What are you waiting for?! Pair up!
He stared, angry, as the teenagers quickly paired up. After a moment, the formed pairs were: Wayne and Raj, Emma and Lauren, Caleb and Axel, and Julia with Priya.
Chris: Finally. Now, everyone except Bowie, get on the boat, Chef will get everyone to their islands. - He pointed at Chef waiting for the teenagers on a large motorboat - Also, put these on.
He threw blindfolds towards the teenagers.
Priya: Why do you need us blindfolded?
Chris: So you don't peek where your teammates are and what resources they have on their islands. Now, get your butts in gear and. Get. On. The boat! - He stared at them as the teenagers started making their way towards the boat - And don't take off the blindfolds until I say so!
…
Julia and Priya were the last pair that arrived on their island. As Chef was leaving the 2 girls, everyone could hear a high-pitched noise signaling an announcement.
Chris: Alright actors, you can take off the blindfolds!
As Julia took off hers, she immediately started covering her eyes from the sun.
Julia: Freakin' finally! This took like an hour.
As the influencer was too busy complaining, Priya immediately took a closer look at their surroundings. Their small island only had one, big tree and a small, white luggage on it. The girl also noticed that "above" them, as well as on their left and right, there's other islands.
Priya: Seems like we're between 3 other islands.
As the previous winner of the show pointed at the other islands, Julia took a closer look.
Julia: Seems like the hockey players are above us and I think I see Nichelle on our right.
Meanwhile, the other girl opened the luggage and took out a walkie talkie.
Priya: Look, we can talk with Bowie!
Julia: Do you have any good news?
Priya rolled her eyes and after a second, connected the signal with her teammate.
Priya: Bowie, it's me, Priya! My…
Julia: Our!
Priya: …Our island has only a tree. Over!
…
At the beach, Bowie was standing before a map of the lake that clearly showed the position of each island. 3 of them were in a straight lane, and those were the closest islands to shore. Above the middle one, there were 3 more islands.
Bowie: Okay, can you tell me what you see? Over.
…
Back on their island, Julia took the walkie talkie from her "partner", who just looked annoyed with the blonde girl.
Julia: There's one island from every side, except beneath us. That's where the beach is.
Priya …Over.
Julia rolled her eyes.
Bowie: Okay, I see where the 2 of you are. You're kinda in the center between the others. Okay, girls, I have another signal, so speak to you in a minute. Ov-
Julia turned off the device and immediately, the girl took off her beach skirt and laid on the sand.
Priya: What are you doing?
Julia: Sunbathing, duh. It's not like there's much to do here.
Priya: Julia, come on! It's obvious that we gotta, somehow, cut this tree and use it to build a raft. It will be easier if we do this together.
The blonde girl didn't even bother with a response, as a frustrated Priya just walked away and started to push the tree in hopes of it breaking.
Julia(confessional): Obviously, I know that we gotta find a way to cut that tree. I'm not stupid. I just wanted the loser girl to do this by herself, so she gets tired and I will have an opportunity to steal it and use it as a raft, with her being too weak to follow me.
…
Raj and Wayne were on the island across from the girls and while their island didn't have a tree, in their luggage the boys found not only a walkie-talkie, but also some ropes.
Wayne: Seems like the island with Julia and Priya has a tree. We probably have to use those ropes to make a raft. - He looked at his buddy, who instead of listening to him tried to connect with Bowie - Wait, what are you doing?
Raj: I'm trying to get in contact with Bow.
Wayne frowned a little.
Wayne: Oh, right.
After a few seconds of messing with the device, Raj managed to get a signal.
Raj: Bowie, babe, do you hear me?
Bowie: Yes! I talked with Priya and Julia, so I know that you're directly across them. The islands are positioned like an upside down T. Above you there should be 2 more islands.
The hockey bros looked up at the sky.
Bowie: …Above you as in, the opposite direction to Priya's island.
Wayne and Raj: Ohhh!
The duo looked in that direction and they saw an island with Caleb and Axel on it.
Raj: Yeah, seems like Caleb and Axel are there, but we only see their island.
Bowie: Yeah, that checks out. I believe there's like 2 kilometers between each of the islands.
Wayne: Alright, Rajie, this is totally doable. We take the ropes and swim to Priya and Julia. Sounds good?
Raj: Well… Look behind you.
The blonde boy turned around and saw a shark's fin.
…
Bowie: Let me guess, sharks?
Chris, smiling from ear to ear, approached the boy.
Chris: Of course, they're basically a stable of every water related challenge! You guys should expect them by now. Hopefully everyone noticed them, before going into the water.
…
Currently, Emma was fighting against shark's jaws, as Lauren watched in amusement.
Emma: Help me! Help!
Scary girl just chuckled and clapped in excitement when she noticed a 2nd shark creeping behind Emma. Unluckily for the goth girl, the ex-streamer also noticed the other shark and as it emerged from the water, she quickly took a dive, as the 2 sharks collided. Emma took the opportunity and quickly swam back to her island.
Emma: WHY DID YOU NOT HELP ME?!
Lauren: You looked like you were having a lot of fun!
Emma just glared at the other girl in rage and annoyance.
Emma(confessional): I was not having fun.
Emma: Was there at least something in our baggage?
Lauren: Nope. Nothing.
She smiled as the camera panned behind her to reveal a machete and walkie talkie laying on the other side of the island.
…
Caleb and Axel stared at 6 paddles that were on their island.
Axel: So… You wanna fight over them?
Caleb: No thanks.
The cadet girl smirked.
Axel: Does that mean you wouldn't hit a girl?
Caleb: Depends. If I see a girl trying to steal something, I could hit her if there's no other option.
Axel: Well, those paddles aren't yours, so it wouldn't be stealing.
Caleb: Alright then. Take them.
The girl crossed her arms and looked the other way.
Axel: …I don't want to.
…
Meanwhile, MK's and Nichelle's island didn't even receive any luggage. All they had was a bunch of empty, glass bottles. The two girls were just sitting on the sand, bored out of their minds.
Nichelle: Ugh, we didn't even get a tree like the island next to us! They at least got some shadow over there!
MK looked at her teammate and smirked.
MK(confessional): I don't want nor need friends, but allies are a completely different thing. Especially now that everyone thinks I have the idol.
MK: So, Nichelle, I was thinking…
Nichelle: Alliance? Yeah, sure. - MK just blinked in surprise, as the movie star rolled her eyes - What? I know how this game works. As much as I hate to admit it, we're the weakest physical players on our team.
Nichelle(confessional): When I was watching the show, all you needed to do was be okay socially and don't suck at challenges, and the merge was basically guaranteed for you, but now? There's so much strategy going on and I'm just getting confused! MK is probably the best strategist in the cast, other than Julia and Bowie, so an alliance with her will be useful.
Nichelle: I do have one question though - Do you have the idol?
MK: I wish, but nope. I was looking for it everywhere, but someone snatched it, before I could.
Nichelle stared iMK right in the eyes, trying to read from her expression if the other girl was lying or not.
Nichelle: …Okay. I believe you, but now we gotta figure out what to do.
MK: Well, we could try to convince Caleb and Emma to-
Nichelle: No, not the voting. Let's first focus on the challenge. We only have glass bottles. How can we use them?
MK grabbed one and stared for it for a moment, before smiling.
MK: Chris mentioned that we're supposed to figure out a way to communicate without the walkie-talkies. What if we have the bottles, but another team has paper and a pen?
Nichelle: Ohhh, messages in the bottle! Alright, then, I will throw them as far as I can and hopefully they reach other teams.
The actress took one of the bottles, took a big swing and threw it with all of her strength. The bottle landed 2 feet away from the girl, causing MK to facepalm seeing this pathetic performance.
…
The last pair were the boys from the blue team and MK correctly predicted that they would have a luggage containing only a few cards of paper, and a pen, causing the boys to look confused as to what to do with it.
Damien: Any ideas on how to use it?
Zee: What if we have to stack those paper cards on top of each other and use it as a draft? I mean, paper is made out of trees!
Damien took a very deep breath.
Damien: Paper. Does not work. Like this. And even if it did, we only have… 5 cards of it!
Zee: Dang it, we need like 2 more for my plan to work! - Damien faceplamed, as Zee looked around - Oh, I see! The island next to us seems to have a tree, so we gotta cut it down and turn it into more paper! I figured it all out!
Damien(confessional): I don't want to sound mean, but how is Zee still alive? Like, someone this dumb should not survive for 16 years!
After another deep breath, Damien took the paper from his teammate's hands and put it back in the luggage.
Damien: Let's leave that for now and talk about something else. Okay, Zee you accidentally voted for Millie, which, fine, I forgive you, but you need to vote for Scary Girl if we lose again.
Zee: Okay!
Damien: …Cause she, Julia and Axel have an alliance and will probably vote for one of us.
Zee: Sure!
The smarter boy still looked unconvinced.
Damien: …Which means that they might vote you out.
Finally, Zee realized what the other boy meant.
Zee: Ohhh, yeah, that's not good. Yeah, I'mma vote with you.
Damien: Great!
Zee(confessional): Yeah, the strategy of voting with my eyes closed may not be working out. My bro Ripper went home, I accidentally caused Millie to get eliminated and now I can be next.
…
Back on the Hockey Island, Raj was talking with Bowie, while Wayne was just staring irritated.
Bowie: Let me repeat that again - Wayne swims towards Priya and Julia with the ropes, while you, babe swim towards Axel and Caleb with the walkie talkie. You also have to gain attention from the sharks and outswim them, cause Wayne otherwise won't manage to get to the girls. Over.
Raj: Yeah, sounds good, thanks Bowie! Love you! Over. - Raj was smiling until he noticed his friend's frown - Hey, Wayner, what's up bro?
Wayne: Nothing, don't worry about it.
Raj(confessional): I don't get it, why doesn't Wayne wanna talk with me? He's my best bro, he can always count on me and he should know.
Worried, Raj put his hand on Wayne's shoulder.
Raj: Hey, you know you can always talk to me, right?
Wayne: No, really, don't worry about-
Raj: It's about Bowie, isn't it?
The blonde boy just looked down, trying to avoid eye contact and the question.
Wayne: …I just miss the old times, when we always were together. I know that Bowie makes you happy, but… No, forget I said anything.
Raj: Wayner, come on! Why didn't you tell me sooner?
Wayne: Cause, I know I'm just being selfish and I feel bad, because of it. I'm jealous, because you found someone else who makes you happy, the way that I can't.
Raj hugged his best bro, catching the blonde boy by surprise.
Raj: Bowie is my boyfriend, but you're always going to be my best friend. You both make me happy, just in a different way.
Wayne smiled a little, hearing that
Wayne: Thanks bro.
The two separated from the embrace and looked at each other with a smile… Until Raj hit Wayne in the shoulder.
Wayne: Ouch! What's that for?
Raj: That's for not talking to me sooner! Are you sure that's everything you wanted to tell me?
Wayne just smiled awkwardly, getting a suspicious look from his buddy.
Wayne: Wellll, since Bowie made me jealous, I figured that if I started hanging out with Jules, maybe it would make you jealous…
Raj: Oh, so that's why you told Bowie that you liked her!
Wayne: Yeah, but… I actually did start to like her. Just don't tell Bowie, he's probably gonna get angry.
Raj: Hey, if Julia makes you happy, then I'm happy, just… Be careful with her. I won't say a thing to Bowie.
Bowie: You don't have to.
Hockey bros jumped in fear, startled by Bowie suddenly speaking up.
Bowie: Raj didn't end the talk, so I heard everything. I guess that I'm also sorry Wayne for excluding you so much, whenever I spent time with Raj, but on the topic of Julia - Go for her.
Wayne just stared confused at the device.
Wayne: Wait, really?
Bowie: Yeah, what's important is your happiness!
Bowie(confessional): Keep your friends close and your enemies even closer. If Wayne and Julia get together, befriend each other or will just stay as allies, Julia will be voting with him, which means that she won't go against me. If we make the merge, I will keep her for the early part of it and kick her out when she's no longer going to be useful.
After Bowie's confessional, both boys were standing at the opposite sides of their island, getting ready to swim. Raj was holding the walkie talkie, while Wayne held the ropes.
Raj: One…
Wayne: Two…
Raj and Wayne: Three!
The boys jumped into the water and quickly began to swim towards other islands, not aware of sharks' fins following them.
Wayne(confessional): We forgot that Raj was supposed to go a few minutes before me.
…
Priya continued smashing into the tree at full force in an attempt of making it fall down, while Julia was texting on her phone.
Priya: Hey, Julia, would you… mind helping me.
Julia: I would, but I don't wanna end up looking like you.
Priya rolled her eyes, as she continued her futile efforts.
Priya: So… Have you heard about the possibility of MK having an idol?
Julia just smirked.
Julia: Oh really?
Priya: Yeah, but it makes lots of sense though. She often came to the cabin very late, she's got sticky hands. Who if not her would find it?
Julia: Yeah, I guess it does make sense.
Priya(confessional): I want to convince as many people as possible that MK has the idol. If everyone believes that she has it, no one will suspect that I gave it to Damien!
Julia(confessional): I really don't appreciate being lied to, but maybe… This lie will become a self-fulfilled prophecy?
The conversation between the 2 girls died down as Priya continued to tackle the tree, causing Julia to grow more and more annoyed with sounds of struggle that the other girl kept on making.
Julia: Can you like, shut up for a minute?
The shorter girl just looked completely exhausted after failing to make any progress with breaking the tree.
Priya: Please… Help me.
The dark haired girl fainted, but Julia just shrugged and went back to her phone, until she heard more calls for help.
Julia: I told you already, I'm not going to-
She gasped as she realized that this time it was Wayne screaming, as a shark was swimming after him.
Julia: Uhhh… Priya! Quickly, jump into the water and get the shark's attention, so Wayne can get here!
She poked the fainted girl with her leg and then let out a sight of frustration when she didn't move.
Julia: You are literally so useless.
She looked concerned for the boy when she heard another scream. She stared as the shake got closer to the boy and took a big bite, but luckily, in that exact moment, Wayne picked up the pace and barely escaped the shark, who stopped in its tracks, confused about how it didn't eat the boy. Meanwhile Wayne managed to get to the island and accidentally run over Priya, as she was just getting back on her feet.
Wayne: It was so close to getting me!
He put his hands on his knees in an attempt to catch his breath. Julia looked at him, when she suddenly started to smile. The girl pulled out her phone and started recording.
Julia: Oh, I am so saving that.
The camera panned to show what the girl was recording - turns out that the shark managed to take a bite out of the boy's speedo. As Priya got back on her knees, she immediately looked the other way, causing her to notice Julia's recording.
Priya: Why are you recording Wayne's butt?
Julia: …No, I'm not.
The blonde girl immediately got red in her face as she tossed her phone to the ground and stepped on it a few times for good measure.
Priya: …So you destroyed the only phone you took with yourself, because you weren't recording that?
Julia immediately realized what she had done, took the destroyed phone, but it was too late as it was completely destroyed by her. She just looked at Priya with anger, before walking over to the exposed boy, whispering something to him, and as he turned his back away from Priya, she gave him her beach skirt to cover himself up all while Priya watched in awe.
Priya(confessional): Julia has a crush on Wayne? I should be more surprised, but ever since Duncan from the original cast and Ellody from Ridonculous Race got together back in 2015, I started to believe that love can be found between even the most different people! …Even if it's such a nice guy as Wayne and… Julia.
The two girls stared at what the boy had brought with himself - A rope and a glass bottle.
Priya: No idea what the bottle is for, but we definitely need to use the rope, so once we chop down the tree, we can tie it into a raft.
While Priya was talking, Julia leaned against the tree, which started to move. She backed away as the tree fell down, while Wayne looked impressed, Priya just stared in a mix of confusion and anger.
Wayne: Great job Jules! We can use this similarly to Millie in the finale of the last season! Then if one of the other pairs has something to cut it into smaller parts, then we will be able to make a raft using the rope!
Julia: Good idea. - She smirked as she looked at Priya - See? Not hard at all.
The shorter girl, who spent hours trying to get the tree to fall, took the glass bottle and threw it at the blonde girl, who managed to duck it, while the bottle flew away.
…
Zee was just chilling on his island, drinking his soda, when he suddenly got smacked in the head by the glass bottle thrown by Priya.
Zee: Hey! - He looked around and noticed the bottle - A flying glass bottle? As cool as it is, this is so not cool for the environment. Do they not think of the turtles?
Damien looked annoyed for a second, before getting an idea.
Damien: Wait hold on, this is exactly what we needed.
Damien quickly took one of the paper cards and wrote something on it, then he took the glass bottle, opened it and put the card in it, before throwing the bottle, causing Zee to get sad.
Zee(confessional): I can't believe that Damien just casually littered like that. I am very disappointed in him, like what did all those poor fishes do to him? Remember kids - Don't litter as it harms the environment!
…
Axel and Caleb were both holding 3 paddles each, staring at each other, while Raj just looked uncomfortable.
Raj: You guys have been standing like that for half an hour or so.
Caleb: Axel is a survivalist expert, if we let our guard down she could easily grab the paddles and swim to the other island with them.
Axel: Says the guy who lives at the gym.
The two continue their staring contest as Raj just sighed, when he noticed in the corner of his eye Priya pushing the tree that Julia and Wayne were sitting on.
Priya: Why won't you guys help me?!
Julia: Because you're the only one who went to a camp on how to deal with a shark attack? Also Wayne has his butt exposed and I'm sore after single handedly getting us the raft.
Priya just sighed in anger as she managed to push the raft onto the island with Axel, Caleb and Raj.
Julia: Priya look, they have paddles! You won't have to push us to the next island.
Priya just fell to the ground exhausted, not even having enough energy to argue with the blonde girl.
Raj: Wow, you guys have been working together?
He looked with irritation at Caleb and Axel who just crossed their arms.
Wayne: Yeah, seems like this challenge is only possible to finish if we work together at least until we manage to chop the tree into 2 rafts.
Julia: Or… - Julia quickly jumped onto the tree - Axel, Wayne get the paddles, let's leave while the Screenwriters are distracted!
Wayne and Axel just stared at the girl, being caught completely off-guard, while Caleb managed to also jump onto the raft and side-eyed the girl.
Caleb: And what are you going to do now?
Julia: Kindly ask you to get out of our raft? - Caleb shook his head and the girl let out a frustrated sigh - Fine! We can work together until we get Lauren and Emma.
…
Emma was just sitting, completely bored, when she suddenly noticed the walkie talkie, mostly covered by sand. She stared at Lauren in confusion.
Emma: You said that there was nothing in our luggage?
Lauren: Oh, I think I accidentally dropped it and didn't notice.
The blonde girl just rolled her eyes, while Lauren was staring at the machete laying just a few meters from the other girl who was trying to connect to Bowie. The goth girl quietly sneaked around, as Emma made the connection.
Emma: Bowie? I'm sorry it took so long, we didn't realize that we had the walkie talkie until now. Over.
Bowie: It's alright, Priya, Julia, Wayne, Raj, Calen and Axel are all together. They should be going in your direction…
Emma: Oh, that's grea-
Bowie: I didn't say "over". Emma, we need to talk... Over.
The girl just looked down, while in the background, Lauren grabbed the machete from the ground.
Emma: I… Bowie, maybe not now? Over.
Bowie: We had a lot of time to talk before, but you never took the occasion. Emma, I really miss you. Over.
While Emma thought about how to respond, Lauren was standing right behind her, slowly raising the machete above her head, but when it looked like she was about to swing it, both girls turned their attention as they heard their castmates, being very close.
Emma: …Others will be here in a few minutes. We will talk later.
The girl turned off the device and sighed. She turned around, just to notice Lauren holding the machete.
Lauren: Look what I found!
A quick montage is played, that begins with the footage of Julia, Priya, Wayne, Raj, Axel and Caleb arriving with on their log to the island occupied by the two girls. Next, Lauren is chopping the tree into smaller logs, looking a bit too happy while doing it, causing Priya and Raj to exchange worried looks. Next, Caleb, Emma and Axel are working on building one raft, while Julia and Wayne are building another one and the montage ends with both teams standing next to their raft.
Emma: Okay this is nice and all, but we still gotta figure out which of the remaining islands has Nichelle and MK, and which one has Damien and Zee.
Julia showed her the glass bottle with a paper card inside out of it.
Julia: We found this. It's just Damien basically asking for help, but it's safe to assume that they're on the island on this side - The girl pointed on her left - Which means that the last buttknuchles from your team are there.
The girl pointed towards her right
Emma: So, we're just going to have a nice and fair race, to see who can first get their teammates and get to Chris?
She was answered by Julia and Axel immediately starting to paddle, then Wayne joined them, when he realized what the girls were doing. Emma just looked in anger, as she took a paddle from Priya, and she alongside Caleb and Raj, also started paddling away.
Another montage is played, this time it's a tense race between the two teams, as they try to be the first ones to get their teammates. Angry Directors were the first to get their last teammates.
Damien: Finally!
Julia: Shut up and get on the raft!
The 2 boys quickly listened and got in, meanwhile Tired Screenwriters also got MK and Nichelle. The 2 teams started to head towards the beach, where Chris, Chef and Bowie were awaiting them. Both teams picked up their pace, when they noticed sharks following them. The hungry animals smashed into The screenwriters' raft, almost causing the teenagers to lose their balance.
Caleb: Emma, hit the shark with your paddle!
Emma: I can't, if I stop, we're going to slow down and lose!
The sharks continue to ram into their draft and after one particular, strong smash, the raft broke up and the teenagers flew away straight onto the beach, right before Chris' feet, while just a few seconds later the Angry Directors arrived.
Chris: Well, this settles then! Congratulations Tired Screenwriters on your 3rd win!
While everyone, except for Bowie, was sore from the fall, it didn't stop them to celebrate their victory, while the other team just looked in defeat.
…
Lauren, MK and Julia were waiting in front of the bathhouse. As Nichelle came out of it, wearing her pajamas, Lauren and Julia smirked at each other, before the goth girl walked in, leaving the two villainous girls alone.
Julia: Have you heard the rumors?
MK: What rumors?
Julia: People are saying that you're the one who found the idol. - The shorter girl just rolled her eyes not answering - Don't worry, I know who has it and it's not you.
MK looked at Julia, suspicious, but intrigued.
MK(confessionals): I don't know what games Julia is trying to play with me. Is she being genuine or does she just want to throw me under the bus?
MK: Did you-
Julia: No, it's not me, but I'm willing to tell you, but under 2 conditions: 1st, You're going to steal it immediately. There's 20 minutes before the elimination ceremony and I don't want the idol to be there. The 2nd condition is that you promise that you won't target me once the merge happens.
MK: Right, but… What do I need the idol for? If everybody thinks I got it, they won't vote for me, cause they will wait for me to play it incorrectly.
Julia: Sure! …But your plan falls apart if they decide to split the votes - MK just looked confused at the girl - You know, like 3 people vote for you and everyone else votes for someone else. You're going to be screwed in that scenario.
The kleptomaniac took a second to think about this.
MK: I don't understand. You don't like me, why are you telling me this?
Julia: Because I like 1.000.000$ more than I dislike you. Your team has bigger threats than mine, so no matter if you idol out Priya, Caleb or Emma, I will be happy.
MK: Not Bowie?
Julia: No. I would prefer it, if you left him for me.
Julia stuck out her hand and MK shook it, even if she still was suspicious of the influencer's intentions.
MK: Fine. Give me the name, 15 minutes and you won't have to worry about the idol being played today.
The blonde girl just smiled mischievously.
Julia(confessional): Last season, I burned many bridges, so now I gotta build them up… So I can burn them down again.
…
The Angry Directors were all sitting at the theater in their formal wear.
Chris: It's your 3rd time here! You guys kinda suck. - Julia rolled her eyes, Wayne looked down in shame, Zee… He took a sip out of his soda - Well, Chef, they're all yours!
Chef nodded and looked at the teenagers.
Chef: Julia, you continue on being yourself.
Damien and Zee laughed, while Julia just rolled her eyes.
Julia: Excuse me? What kind of a critique is this?
Chef: Scary Girl, you spend most of your time either harassing Damien or just being a general menace to society.
The girl chuckled as if she was proud of herself.
Chef: Zee. You're an idiot.
The boy just shrugged as he took another sip out of his soda.
Chef: Now, you're free to cast your votes.
Julia, Lauren and Axel quickly voted without any hesitation. Damien observed Zee to make sure that the taller boy wouldn't close his eyes and then he himself voted. Wayne sighed before casting his vote.
Chris: Now, if someone wants to play the hidden immunity idol, this would be the time to do so.
Damien checked his pockets, just to realize they're empty. He anxiously started to look around as Julia smirked.
Chris: …Since no one is speaking up, let's begin. The first golden Chris goes to… Wayne!
The boy looked up as he caught his symbol of safety.
Chris: Another one goes to…
…
…
…
Julia!
…
And Axel!
The two girls smiled as they caught their Chris.
Chris: The last person without a vote is…
…
…
…
…
…
Damien!
The science nerd was still looking around, so he didn't notice the golden statue being thrown at him, resulting in him getting hit in the face.
Damien: Scary Girl, Zee this leaves only the 2 of you. In case of a tie, we're going to do a tie breaker challenge that relates to the movie genre that the main challenge was based on. In survival movies, you often see the characters eating anything in order to survive, so today's tie breaker challenge will be an eating contest of the nastiest, grossest, sea food that we could find.
As Damien was massaging his face, he smiled from ear to ear hearing what the tie breaker challenge was going to be.
Damien(confessional): This couldn't be better! Zee will eat basically everything! Scary Girl is going home today and I will be free!
Chris: So, with that I am happy to announce that…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
We're not doing the tie breaker! Scary Girl, you're safe.
Damien and Zee gasped in shock as Lauren happily caught her golden Chris.
Julia(confessional): Obviously we voted for Zee. Even if Lauren wasn't so obsessed with Damien, Zee is by far the weakest link on our team. Honestly, he was more of a liability than help.
Damien continued to stare in surprise, confused about the voting results.
Damien: What?! But- But how?
He looked around, when he noticed Wayne who was looking the other way.
Damien: WAYNE?!
As the blonde boy just laughed nervously, Damien shook his head in disappointment, while Zee stood up from his seat.
Zee: Oh, duuude.
The tall boy started to walk towards the Red Carpet of Shame, before stopping in front of it. He started to quickly run through it, but not quickly enough to avoid all the tomatoes.
Zee: No cool man, not cool at all!
Chris smiled watching the boy.
Chris: Another annoying kid went home! Despite this, I do think that Damien may be having a worse day than Zee. His idol was stolen, Wayne betrayed him, again, and Priya is probably going to be really disappointed with her man! …Assuming that she's going to learn about any of this. How is Damien going to deal with all of this? Find out in the next episode of Total. Drama. Action!
I don't think I have much to say this time. I know Zee is a fan favorite and I surprisingly enjoyed writing him for the most part, but he was just an elimination fodder this season. However, now everyone still in the game has important plotlines and is impactful to this season, so I hope that the elimination order going forward will catch most of you by surprise! I would also really appreciate it if you left a review, so I can know what I can improve on and what I'm doing right!
