"Are you ready for drama? Betrayals and lies; heartbreaks and gorgeous hosts?" Chris McClean announced. "Last week on Total Drama Revenge of the Island we entered the final 10. Campers were free to leave their teams and form new alliances. Beth was eager to spend some time with her friend, Lindsay, but she might want to be careful since Lindsay didn't really take so well to her recently reformed boyfriend getting voted off. Bridgette and Geoff continued to fight; and Ezekiel ruined any chances of an alliance with the ladies. Nine remain, but soon it will be eight. Who's going home tonight; find out on Total Drama Revenge of the Island."
Leshawna was up before the any of the other girls. Normally she would take this chance to try to be a nice team leader, but the teams were gone now and she was on her own. Instead Leshawna glanced at the other girls in the room. She looked at Bridgette and Lindsay, but paused at Beth. She nodded to herself. Soon the other girls got up; Bridgette went through her yoga routine while Lindsay worked on her makeup.
Leshawna grabbed Beth and said, "Beth honey, I think we need to talk."
Beth looked up at her and nodded for her to proceed.
"We've reached a tight spot and things'll just get worse if we don't work together," Leshawna said. "I trust you, you're a nice girl, but the others I'm not so sure of."
"What about—" Beth glanced at Lindsay, but then didn't finish.
"I'm just trying to be careful," Leshawna explained. "We've got to stick together and watch out for each other if we're going to survive this."
Meanwhile in the western cabin, Duncan was also examining his roommates. Trent and Ezekiel were sleeping comfortable, but Geoff looked like he had had a rough sleep. When Duncan turned to glance at Noah he found that the boy was already up.
"Greetings, Duncan," Noah said icily.
"Hey, don't sneak up on me like that!" Duncan said still shocked by his sudden appearance.
"Oh, what are you going to do to me, ? Give me a wedgie?" Noah taunted.
"Hey, I could make sure that you get voted off tonight," Duncan threatened.
"And that's supposed to scare me how?" Noah shot back.
"But…" Duncan was annoyed at Noah's lack of reaction.
"The way I see it, if I stay I get a million dollars, if I go I can finally leave this dreadful island," Noah said.
As he walked away Duncan muttered, "You'd think someone with such an optimistic view wouldn't be see negative all the time."
The nine campers all got up and headed to Chef's for their usual breakfast. As the girls merged with the boys, Leshawna spotted Trent and pulled him to sit down with her and Beth.
"Trent, I think that you'd be a good asset to our alliance," Leshawna explained.
"Huh?" asked Trent.
Leshawna gestured at Beth and said, "The two of us are trying to make sure we don't get voted off. You've proven to be an overall trustworthy guy; are you willing to help us out?"
"Alright," Trent answered. "There are definitely some people here who would vote us off in a second."
"Really, who?" asked naïve Beth.
"I don't trust, Lindsay for one," Leshawna said. "She's been acting strange all season."
"Yeah I'll say," Trent agreed. "She was intent on kissing Duncan just because he was dating Courtney."
The two looked at Beth for her opinion; the girl said, "Well, Bridgette did tell me not to trust her. But I still think that she's my friend. It's Duncan who I'm more afraid of."
"True, Duncan is a bit of a jerk too," Leshawna said. "He hasn't done anything terrible yet; but we all know what he's like at times."
Trent nodded, but he didn't look like he completely agreed.
"What about Noah?" Trent suggested. "That guy hasn't really been friendly to anyone, yet he's managed to get this far."
"Hey, Noah's a good guy," Beth protested.
"He may have been on your team, honey, but do you really know anything about him?" Leshawna pointed out. "No one knows what he's thinking, and that's what scares me about him."
"What do you think of Geoff and Bridgette?" Trent continued. "They might make good allies."
"It's possible," Leshawna mused, "but they're so focused on each other that I'm not sure that they'd be any real help."
Ezekiel at another table had sat down next to Noah.
"'Morning," Ezekiel exclaimed.
"Hello," Noah replied as he poked at his slop.
"You know, I was just thinking, eh," Ezekiel said. "The two of us aren't really the top athletes, eh; so maybe we should, y'know, work together or something, eh."
"Regretting screwing up your alliance with Lindsay?" Noah remarked with a smirk.
"Well, it's just that I realized that I don't really have a lot of experience with this show, eh," Ezekiel said. "That redhead may have been crazy, eh, but at least she was keeping me from being eliminated, eh."
"But why me?" Noah asked.
"Well obviously you've gotten this far without even trying, eh," Ezekiel said. "Just tell me your secret, eh."
"My secret is to just not care," Noah sighed.
Bridgette and Geoff were sitting at different tables, glaring at each other angrily. But it Lindsay who had the most murderous stare. She just stared at everyone with hatred. Duncan decided to sit down next to her.
"'Morning, beautiful," he said.
Lindsay remained silent.
"Hello top nine!" Chris announced as he entered the cabin. "Are you ready to kill each other?"
"You still trying to get us to turn on one another?" Leshawna scoffed.
"Hey, it's my job," Chris replied. "Today's challenge will have you all at each other's throats. Scattered around the island are various tasks for you to complete. The tasks will involve you doing something, probably nasty, to another camper. Anyone who becomes a victim is out. No tasks can be repeated by anyone and one victim can only be targeted once. The last one remaining will get immunity for today's voting."
Chris gave the single and the campers took off. Bridgette and Geoff once again ended up together as they searched the edge of the eastern beach. Trent decided to stay behind and look around the central area. The rest all ran deep into forest. Leshawna spotted a note attached to a pump that was attached to a tree.
"The Sticky Sapper Task," she read. "For this task you need to blast some sap from this tree onto a fellow camper."
She glanced at the pump and scoffed, "Yeah right, I'd be lucky to get a dribble out of this thing."
She gave it small tap and a shot of amber sap shot at a nearby tree.
"I stand corrected," she remarked.
Lindsay had also found a note attached to a tree. The tree had a small rope tied around one of the branches. As Lindsay read the note she noticed Noah walking past.
"Oh, Norm, you're smart, right?" Lindsay called. "Could you help me read this big word?"
Noah rolled his eyes but approached her anyway.
"What word?" he asked as he grabbed the note.
Lindsay just smiled at pulled the rope. The branch snapped off the tree and smacked right into Noah's head.
"Ow!" cried the boy.
"You're out," Lindsay said with a deviously sweet smile.
Duncan had spotted a basket full of various balls and a note attached to it.
"The Sports Splatter Task," he read. "Pelt an opponent with a variety of sports balls."
He grinned and remarked, "This is my kind of task."
He then spotted Ezekiel walking by and shouted, "Hey, Zeke, catch!"
The boy only had time to turn his head and then had a football crunch into his nose. Then he had a baseball go to his stomach and a soccer ball go to his groin. He turned and ran deeper in the woods but Duncan pursued.
"Okay, Duncan, he's out," Chris announced.
"But this is so much fun," Duncan said as he tossed a golf ball.
Ezekiel dived against the mountain and hoped to find a place to hide. He noticed an opening in the edge of the mountain. It was boarded up and marked 'Danger.' He heard Duncan approaching and darted inside.
Trent, meanwhile, had also found his task hidden behind Chef's cabin.
"The Juicy Joke Task," he read. "Have another camper drink the juices left over from Chef's mystery meat."
He looked down and saw that there was a glass in front of him full of red juice and lumps.
"Gross, how am I ever going to get someone to drink this?" he complained.
Leshawna was still waiting by her pump for someone to show up. She spotted some movement in the bushes. She twisted the pump in the direction and slammed down the pump.
"Yikes!" exclaimed Beth as she ran out of the way.
"Oops, sorry Beth," Leshawna apologized.
"Huh, you're not going to get me?" Beth asked.
"Hey, we've got an alliance now," Leshawna explained. "We've gotta look out for each other."
"Oh, thanks Leshawna," Beth said as she walked away.
Bridgette was doing her best to ignore Geoff as he walked a few paces behind her.
Bridgette's Confessional
I've been thinking about what Tyler said. If he was the one behind Geoff breaking up with me, then now is Geoff's chance to put everything back together. I'm still angry, and Geoff has to take the first step to making this better.
Bridgette spotted a note on a rock and called out, "You can beat it, Geoff, I've already got dibs on this task."
She then read it, "The Rocky Romantic Challenge: Kiss another contestant."
She glanced back at Geoff and said, "Oh no, no way, not going to happen."
She wandered up into the forest where she soon ran into Duncan.
"Come here, you," she said as she slapped a kiss on the punk.
Once he had pulled away Duncan exclaimed, "Why can't you ladies stay off of me?"
"Oh, and you're out," Bridgette said to him.
Geoff, who had seen this, stormed off back the way he had come in frustration.
Lindsay found her second task outside of a cave; it was accompanied by a shirt and spray can.
"The Bear Baiter Task," she read, "have an opponent put on the shirt that has been sprayed with 'Bear Attract' outside the bear cave."
She looked around for a good victim; she found Beth.
"Beth, we're good friends, right?" Lindsay said.
"Oh, Absolutely," Beth exclaimed.
"Then I was wondering if you could do me a favor," Lindsay said. "I was thinking of giving this shirt to my sister, Paula, but I'm not sure if it's her style. Do you think you could model it for me?"
Beth looked a little nervously as Lindsay handed her the shirt.
"Oh, it's not a trap I promise," Lindsay said. "You can trust me, I'm your friend."
"Okay, Lindsay, if you say so," Beth said as she slipped on the shirt.
"Looks good from here," Lindsay said. "Why don't you go stand over there in the sunlight?"
Beth walked over to where Lindsay had pointed and stood directly outside the cave.
"How do I—" Beth began but stopped when she heard a loud roar.
Suddenly she was running for her life as a bear eagerly chased after her.
"I thought you said it wasn't a trap!" Beth yelled as she ran from the bear.
"I had my fingers crossed," Lindsay said.
Trent heard Geoff approaching; he seemed angry.
"Hey, what's up, bro?" Trent asked.
"Ack, it's Bridgette," Geoff explained. "She's doing everything she can just to make me mad. I really hate this, but I don't know what to do about it?"
"How about a drink to chill out?" Trent asked as he handed Geoff the glass.
The teen chugged it without even looking at it; he then gagged in disgust. Trent thought that he'd be furious now, but instead he smiled at Trent.
"Ah, good one," he exclaimed.
Then they both laughed.
"But seriously," Trent said, "you and Bridgette should probably talk. You've got to work something out."
"I've tried but she makes it so difficult," Geoff sighed.
"That doesn't sound like Bridgette," Trent replied. "I'm going to try to find her right now."
Trent walked down the beach and soon spotted Bridgette walking in his direction.
"Bridgette," he called.
She gave a small smile and waved.
"Hi Trent," she said. "How have you been doing so far?"
"I'm doing pretty good," Trent said, "but I think that Geoff could really use some time to talk with you."
"Yes, I've been thinking about Geoff, too," Bridgette said. "Why don't you take me to him?"
Trent and Bridgette returned to where Geoff was sitting against the wall.
"Geoff, Trent says that you want to talk to me," Bridgette said.
"Yeah," Geoff began.
"I think I know what you're going to say," Bridgette said. "It was all because of Tyler that you said those things that you didn't mean; but now that he's gone I'm ready to accept your apology."
"What?" Geoff gasped. "Tyler has nothing to do with this. I broke up with you because you had turned into an obsessive jerk. I can understand the pressure and stress getting to you; but I need my old Bridgette back."
"You still don't get it," Bridgette growled. "As soon as we let our guard down we'll be finding ourselves on the Dock of Shame."
"And you still don't get that there are some things more important than that stupid prize!" Geoff shouted as he stood up.
"Whoa, guys, let's just calm down," Trent said as he came between them.
"Stay out of this, Trent," Bridgette said as she shoved him aside.
Trent stumbled backwards and found himself tripping over a wire. He slipped and fell into a pit full of mud. A small note dropped onto his lap.
"The Pit Push Task," he read. "Shove an opponent into the pit of mud."
"Oh my gosh, I'm so sorry, Trent," Bridgette exclaimed.
"Don't be," Trent said. "It looks like you got me."
Geoff's Confessional
She said 'sorry' to Trent just like that. Why can't she do that for me? She's got to accept that I'm not the one that's wrong; she is.
Leshawna was looking incredibly bored as she stood next to her pump.
"You know what, forget this," she exclaimed as she turned away.
However after she had walked a few paces away she heard Lindsay exclaim, "Ooh, another."
"Hey, that one's mine," Leshawna cried as she ran back.
The two girls grabbed onto the pump and pulled back and forth. Both were growling and staring fiercely at the other. Eventually it snapped and both of them were sprayed with sap.
"Well, I'd say that's a draw," Chris exclaimed. "And therefore, you both lose. Today's winner is Bridgette. I'll give the rest of you some time to pick who you're voting off."
Later that day, Leshawna, Trent, and Beth had regrouped.
"I think I'm pretty convinced that Lindsay can't be trusted," Leshawna declared.
"Wait!" Beth said. "I don't think we should vote her off."
"Beth, girl, how can you still trust her?" Leshawna asked. "She sent a bear after you."
"Good friends stick together even when they fight," Beth recited. "And beside she just lost Tyler; I bet that's making her a little angry. I think we should all stick with her and help her."
"Alright, Beth, if you say so," Leshawna said. "In that case, we'll go for choice number two: Duncan."
Trent didn't look happy about this, but he held his tongue.
Trent's Confessional
I'd really feel bad about voting off Duncan. I got to know him and found out that he's actually a pretty cool guy. I didn't say anything since I don't want to disrupt Leshawna's alliance, but I don't think I can vote for him. It's Noah who needs to leave, he's not a team player and he's just bound to get himself hurt.
Duncan sat down next to Lindsay again.
"Afternoon, gorgeous," he said.
"What do you want?" she asked coldly.
"Look, I know what you're up to," Duncan said. "And you're going to need help. I don't have anything for these chumps now that Courtney's gone; let me help you. Who do you want gone?"
"Well, I want Bridgette gone," Lindsay said, "but she has immunity."
"No, Bridgette is easy to deal with," Duncan said, "I know who your real threat is…"
Duncan's Confessional
I know that Leshawna doesn't trust me; so I've got to make my own alliance. Still there's someone who I need to get rid of first.
The eight campers arrived at sat down around the fire.
"Wait a minute, where's Ezekiel?" Trent asked.
"Do I look like I care about that little twerp?" Chris scoffed. "And now for the marshmallows. The first one goes to Bridgette who is immune today."
The blond girl caught her marshmallow.
"Also safe are Leshawna and…Geoff," Chris tossed two more marshmallows. "And another two marshmallows go to Beth and…Trent."
Duncan let a slight bit of nervousness show as he looked between Noah and Lindsay.
"And now the second to last marshmallow," Chris said, "it'll be going to…Lindsay."
She caught it with determination in her eyes. Duncan looked even more nervous now as he looked at the still stoic Noah.
"And this final very special, very desired marshmallow," Chris finished, "will be going to a camper who has displayed enough skill to survive being voted off. Someone most deserving. It's…Duncan!"
Noah just shrugged as he got up. Duncan shot him a victorious smile as he nodded at Lindsay. Leshawna sighed as she looked at Duncan in annoyance. Noah walked down the Dock of Shame and was ready to board the Boat of Losers. Beth ran up to him and gave him a tight hug.
"Don't worry, Noah, you'll find a boy who's right for you some day," Beth exclaimed.
Noah just sighed, "Whatever you say Beth."
The campers left the campfire and Chris turned to the camera.
"And then there were eight," he said. "We're closing in on that million dollar prize, but who will the victor be? Will Leshawna's alliance help her reach the top, or will Lindsay succeed in shutting everyone down? Find out on…Oh, hang on a minute Chef."
Chris stopped the big man before he could leave too.
"I almost forgot," he said. "Remember when we were planning on filling the island with nuclear waste for this season? Well, the industries have decided that since we're not doing that they want their toxic waste back. Where'd you leave it?"
"I dunno," Chef said, "some cave."
Meanwhile Ezekiel skulked out of the cave in the mountain. He had an unhealthy radioactive green glow around him and his eyes were piercing red. All of his hair had been reduced to a stringy mess. He walked on all fours and growled at his surroundings. Then he saw the moon and let out a bloodcurdling howl.
