"Hello and welcome to Total Drama Revenge of the Island," Chris greeted. "Five campers, that's all that remain now. Beth has been doing her best to be a do-gooder for everyone; while Lindsay is intent on revenge on everyone. Duncan's taken Lindsay's side and is helping her to eliminate his competition. Bridgette, with a little help from Beth, finally made up with Geoff, just before he was eliminated. And Trent…hasn't really done anything noteworthy. At the end of today only four will remain; who can take the heat, and who will crumble?"
The boys' quarters were awkwardly silent now. Trent refused to talk to Duncan; he simply looked at him with annoyance. Duncan scoffed and returned the look, then the two looked away from each other.
Trent's Confessional
I just don't get Duncan. I had some time to talk to him and he really seems like a nice guy on the inside. He made up with Courtney and really showed his sensitive side. But now he's been taking advantage of Lindsay and working against the rest of us. I don't know what his problem is, but the sooner he gets voted off the better.
Bridgette had left the girls' quarters and was sitting outside in deep thought. This left Beth and Lindsay alone in the room.
"Lindsay, are you feeling alright?" Beth asked.
Lindsay looked away and didn't say anything.
"You can talk to me," Beth said. "I'm still your friend."
"My friend wouldn't vote off my boyfriend," Lindsay sniffed.
"Is that what this is all about?" Beth asked. "Because you can't blame us for that. Somebody had to get eliminated; it could have been you, it could have been me, but it was Tyler."
Lindsay still didn't reply and kept her angry glance.
"I don't think Tyler would want this," Beth continued. "He probably wants to see his sweet girlfriend win, not the schemer you've become."
"Just leave me alone," Lindsay said as she stormed away.
Breakfast was silent, as had become normal lately. Bridgette sat down next to Beth and gave her an encouraging smile. Lindsay sat with Duncan, but didn't say anything to him. Trent sat alone and shot a look at each remaining camper.
"Hello, campers, are you ready to get jiggy?" Chris announced as he entered the building. "I've been studying what's hip lately and today's challenge will be totally…dope!"
Everybody groaned at the thought of this.
"Today's youth really loves video games," Chris continued. "I'm assuming that the top game is still Pac-Man."
He received various, "huh"s and "what"s. Only Lindsay seemed to know what he was talking about.
"Ooh, my daddy always hired packmen to help me pack before vacations," Lindsay exclaimed.
"No!" Chris scoffed. "What's wrong with you people, aren't you with it?"
"Just tell us what the challenge is," Duncan said.
"Fine, fine, if you could just put on these devices," Chris said as Chef handed out the electronics.
They worked like vest that displayed a screen over the wearers' chests.
"Pac-Man is all about the hunters becoming the hunted at any random time," Chris explained. "In this game you may be a Pac-Man or a Ghost."
He pushed a switch and the screens lit up. Bridgette and Trent's displayed a yellow crescent while the others' displayed a red blob creature.
"In this game the Pac-Men have to tag their victim, a Ghost," Chris explained. "If you are a Ghost and a Pac-Man gets you, you are eliminated. There will be no ceremony, no chance for you. You leave, end of story. However, there's a twist. Randomly I may flip this switch and you will all randomly change or remain the same. So be careful, you may be chasing your prey, only to become prey yourselves. Ghosts, I'm giving you a head start…Now!"
Beth, Lindsay, and Duncan all took off out of the cabin and into the woods. Beth ran alone, but Duncan and Lindsay stuck together.
"Dumbledore, I have to talk to you," Lindsay exclaimed.
"Are you trying to mess up my name as much as possible?" Duncan complained. "I mean, seriously, Dumbledore?"
"I know who we need to eliminate," Lindsay said ignoring his comment. "Beth; she's been bugging me lately."
"Whatever you say, princess," Duncan said.
Lindsay's Confessional
If Beth stays around she might make me lose focus on what's important, avenging Tyler and proving that I'm just as tough as them…Hey, did Donner call me "Princess?" Oh, I don't think Carol is going to like that.
Bridgette and Trent had left the cabin now and were searching for their targets. Bridgette could see Trent out of the corner of her eye, but she didn't speak to him. She sped up when she heard voices ahead. She hid behind the bushes as she spotted Lindsay and Duncan.
"You're going down, Lindsay," she whispered.
Then she dove at her opponent. As she crashed into her she heard a high-pitched beep, but she ignored it. The two girls rolled to the ground and when they had stopped moving Bridgette was on top of Lindsay.
"Gotcha!" she exclaimed.
"Not so fast," Chris said over the loudspeaker. "Look down."
She looked at her chest and she realized that her screen now displayed a ghost. She gasped, but she sighed when she realized that Lindsay was still a Ghost.
"Alright," Duncan exclaimed as he saw that he had become a Pac-Man.
Bridgette realized this too and got up immediately. She took off swiftly. As Lindsay stood up she realized that Duncan was eying her.
"Dexter, you wouldn't tag me, would you?" Lindsay said as she backed up.
"Maybe," Duncan said as he continued to approach her.
"No, bad Dexter!" Lindsay exclaimed as she swung a tree branch at him. "Back off!"
"Okay, okay, I'm kidding," Duncan said with a smile.
Duncan's Confessional
It wouldn't be a good idea to eliminate my only ally. But if she doesn't get my name right soon…
Beth had reached the mountain when she heard her screen beep. She saw that she was a Pac-Man now. She shrugged and continued to climb.
"I'm not taking any risks," she said to herself.
Meanwhile Trent had seen that he was a Ghost now. He still carefully followed after Lindsay and Duncan. However, his cover was blown when he stepped on a twig. Duncan whirled around and charged after him. Trent ran back and managed to stay ahead of Duncan who had left Lindsay behind now.
Bridgette had gotten far from all of them now, and was approaching the area where Beth had just been. Beth heard the sound of someone approaching and prepared to jump. She leapt down from the slope and grabbed onto Bridgette's chest. However, just in time the screens beeped again. Now both of them were Ghosts.
"Oh, sorry," Beth exclaimed.
"No need to apologize," Bridgette. "We're both safe and that's a good thing."
"Yay, I'm a munchy thing now!" Lindsay cheered nearby.
The two other girls gasped. Beth began to climb back up to her hiding spot and Bridgette followed. The blond pulled ahead, and Beth felt her foot slip as the rock she was standing gave way.
"Aha, now I've got you, Beth!" Lindsay exclaimed as she sprinted after her.
Bridgette reached out and grabbed Beth. She pulled the small girl as Lindsay tried to climb after them. Meanwhile Trent was a Pac-Man now and had turned to chase the Ghost Duncan.
"You are going down," Trent exclaimed as he gained on his target.
Duncan decided to stop in his tracks. Before Trent could collide with him, he ducked and slid under Trent's legs. Trent spun around and continued to chase after Duncan. However he stopped when he heard the familiar beep. He was once again a victim and Duncan grinned as he displayed his Pac-Man symbol.
With the girls, Lindsay scowled as she realized that she was once again a ghost.
"Now you're the one going down," Bridgette declared as she stepped forward.
Lindsay let out a small squeak in fear as she jumped back down from the slope. Bridgette slid after her eagerly, while Ghost Beth followed nervously behind. Bridgette was easily gaining on Lindsay.
"Come on, change!" Lindsay ordered to the screen as she ran clumsily.
To her surprise is once again emitted a beep. But to her annoyance she was still a Ghost, and worse, Bridgette was still a Pac-Man.
"Oh…uh, lucky me, I'm a munchy again," Lindsay said unconvincingly.
However, Bridgette did pause cautiously. Then she saw Beth approaching with her own Pac-Man symbol.
"I don't think so," Bridgette said, but Lindsay had already taken off.
Trent had clambered up a ledge on another side of the mountain. Duncan managed to grab his ankle, but then noticed that they were both Ghosts now. This didn't stop the pursuit though. Trent kept climbing and Duncan kept following after him. Trent was beginning to get tired, but he sidled along the edge as quickly as he could. He was keeping his distance from Duncan has he slowly moved in the direction of the girls. After pulling himself up he had to pause to take a small breather. Then he heard the beep; and this was when Duncan charged. The two tumbled against the rock, but they realized that they were both Pac-Men now.
"Come on, give me a break," Duncan scoffed.
Bridgette was gaining on Lindsay again while Beth struggled to keep up.
As she dropped to the ground she panted, "You've…almost…caught…Ugh, my breath."
However, before Bridgette could grab Lindsay, the screens switched again.
"Come on, this time," Lindsay exclaimed as she looked down at her chest. "Darn, Ghost again."
She covered her mouth as she looked back at Bridgette and Beth, but sighed when she saw that they were Ghosts as well.
"As soon as I turn Ghost again, you're dead," Bridgette threatened.
"Oh yeah, well as soon as I turn Ghost, you're dead," Lindsay retorted.
"Guys, since we're all Ghosts now can we have a timeout to talk?" Beth suggested.
"You guys can talk," Bridgette said. "I've got nothing to say."
"What do you want now?" Lindsay asked Beth.
"I am your friend, no matter what you say or do," Beth declared. "Best friends stick together and help each other out. I know that you're upset right now, but if you let me in I can be there for you. You want people to respect you, don't you?"
Lindsay gave a slow nod.
"Being mean won't get you respect," Beth said. "Being nice and sweet is what makes people like you. I don't know what you think, but people have always liked you just for you are; not how clever you are. You were a really good friend, Lindsay. You were a good friend to me, a good boyfriend to Tyler. That's all you need to be."
Lindsay stared at Beth, but she didn't look angry anymore. Instead her eyes showed a sort of confused sorrow. The screens sounded again. Beth and Bridgette remained Ghosts, but Lindsay was a Pac-Man now. Bridgette immediately backed away, but Beth remained. Lindsay didn't go after her, she stood her ground. Beth offered a small smile. Then she screamed in shock as someone behind her grabbed her.
"Got her!" Duncan exclaimed as he displayed his Pac-Man symbol. "That's what you wanted right, Lindsay."
Lindsay seemed to be still in a daze, but she shook out of it and said, "Yes, that's what I wanted. Thank you, Duncan."
Duncan smiled when she got his name right.
"Alright, Beth will be going home tonight," Chris announced. "So sad, too bad, blah blah blah. Oh, and the goodbye ceremony could all stop by the Confession Cam to talk about how you feel about your final five opponents?"
Beth's Confessional
I'm actually a little relieved to be going home now; those motivational speeches were really tiring. I hope that Lindsay comes around; I don't believe Duncan when he said that she wanted me eliminated. Trent and Bridgette are both really nice and I wish them the best of luck. I don't care who wins really, but I don't think Duncan deserves it.
Trent's Confessional
Ah man, I can't believe that Beth's leaving tonight; she was so nice. I'm definitely revaluating my view on Duncan. I don't care how he can act, right now he's acting like a jerk and I can't wait to send him home. Bridgette's okay, and I think that once Lindsay gets her head cleared she'll be good too.
Bridgette's Confessional
Oh, that Lindsay makes me so, so, so, mad! She wanted to get rid of Beth, her only friend? That tears it; I'm taking her down and Duncan too. I'm okay with Trent, but eventually I'll have to take him down too because I am winning this time.
Lindsay's Confessional
I felt a little bad about Beth, but now that she's gone I can focus…except that I can't stop thinking about what she said. What if everybody hates me and Tyler breaks up with me and I'm all alone and…and…sorry I lost my train of thought, what was I saying?
Duncan's Confessional
Well, I've made it this far, I think I can destroy the competition pretty easily. They all act tough, but really they're just a bunch of pushovers. Even if they all teamed up against me, they wouldn't stand a chance.
That night the campers said farewell to Beth. Chris had skipped over all the usual processes but still insisted that they gathered around to see her off.
"Bye everyone," Beth called. "Bye Lindsay, good luck."
Lindsay looked out at her without speaking, but then called, "Goodbye, Beth, thanks for being my friend."
"I'll still be your friend when this is all over," Beth called back.
"Cut it out," Duncan said to her. "You don't want people to think you're soft, this close to the finals."
"Sorry," she said emotionlessly.
"And that about does it for today's episode," Chris concluded. "Now it's only four left. Who will the winner be? Will Duncan's plan work out; or will Bridgette pull ahead? What decisions will Lindsay make in the future? Will Trent ever doing anything to make him worthy of being mentioned in these little recaps? Find out on the next Total Drama Revenge of the Island!"
