Novanto - I never had Cody fall in the water, so he never became frozen. That's why he was singing in the song. Thanks for the compliment, I was worried people wouldn't like my change to that.

Author's Note: In case anyone is wondering about my personal opinions on all the characters, I'll be posting my character rankings on my profile after I finish this fanfic. Also, don't be afraid to ask questions, I'll be glad to answer anything. I should be able to keep my answers vague enough to avoid spoiling anything. Oh, and heads up: I went back and added recaps, as well as a special something at the bottom of the Japan and Yukon episodes.

Episode 5 - Broadway, Baby!

The Yukon! Canada's frozen gem. Here, our competitors discovered the thrill of ice flow jumping, the chill of dog sledding, and the buzzkill of frigid romance. In the end, Bridgette was saved from elimination when a depressed, grief stricken DJ voted himself out of the competition. The Yukon, live the adventure! Where will we dump our remaining competitors this time? Fine out right now, on Total, Drama, World Tour!

(Cue the theme song)

Today, first class was occupied by Team Chris is really really really really hot. Tyler and Alejandro were conversing while taking advantage of first class's actually edible meals.

"Oh man, first class rocks!"

"Amigo, today we eat the breakfast of champions."

Izzy was enjoying a massage, courtesy of one of Chris's interns. The intern himself was worried that any wrong move would set Izzy off like a bomb."Oh, yeah, that's the spot."

The sounds of her boyfriend snoring drew Izzy's attention. "Aww, look at big O!" Owen was tied up, fast asleep on the couch. His last fear-driven freak out had forced the team to take drastic measures. "His fear of flying is so adorable!"

The plane took a sudden bump, causing Owen to roll right onto the floor. This revealed a semi-crushed Noah, obviously in a lot of pain. "Finally! Thanks for not noticing I was missing all night! What am I, Tyler?"

Taking offense, Tyler immediately yelled back. "Hey!" Unfortunately, the food left in his mouth ended up splattered on Alejandro.

Down in loser class, Team Victory was starting to get used to the crappy room. Team Amazon however, had many complaints about the area.

Heather especially didn't like the room. "Stupid economy section! What is that horrible smell?"

Gwen had a simple answer. "Defeat?"

This only increased Heather's anger. "It's all your fault Courtney! If you had just moved faster, we would've won again!"

Duncan quickly moved in to defend Courtney. "Woah, woah, back up now Queenie. If it's any ones fault, it's Chris's. I don't remember him stopping any of the other teams to sing his stupid songs, the jack-"

Courtney quickly stopped him from going off on a rant. "Thank you Duncan, you made your point."

Gwen smiled at an idea forming in her head. "First chance we get, I'll totally help you vote her off."

"You've got my support too Princess." Duncan slyly added.

Courtney was happy with this. "Gladly, so long as I get to kick her off."

(Confession Cam)

Heather - "Kick me off? Ha! Not if I can prove my worth to the team. Or manipulate Sierra and Cody into slavishly obeying me. Whatever works!

Heather, having finally had enough of her other teammates, moved from her seat to sit with Sierra and Cody. Cody was trying his best to sleep, while Sierra was busy writing in her, "Journal of stuff to blog about when I find a computer."

Heather made her voice sound as nice as she could. "Hey buddies! Have I said enough how much I value your friendship?"

Cody was instantly suspicious of her. "You've only spoken to me, like, three times ever! Including this one!"

Sierra on the other hand, was happy to be liked. "Well, I value you too Heather. Hug?"

Heather quickly moved away, visibly disgusted with the idea. "I think just saying it is enough."

Team Victory was isolating themselves from the other team. They were all a bit disappointed to lose DJ, and were starting to worry about their chances of winning the future challenges.

Lindsay quickly became tired of the silence, and tried pumping her team up. "Enough downyness you guys! We aren't quitters, we're fighters, and we're winners!"

"Girl's got fire in her eyes, and now I do too! We are totally taking things today!" LeShawna cheered.

Bridgette was able to hold her head up high. "I'll do whatever I can to make up for last time!"

Ezekiel jumped up on his seat in excitement. "And I'll try not to make a fool of myself on a team of nearly all girls!" The awkward silence that followed made him slide back into his seat.

(Confession Cam)

Lindsay - "I packed a season's supply of lip gloss, and I've barely finished one tube! No way am I going home yet!"

Alejandro decided to take a trip to economy class, bringing with him an arm full of snacks. Team Victory's ladies became his first targets, being the closest to the entrance to first class. "Ladies, I took the liberty of smuggling a few things out of first class." Offering his stash to them, LeShawna took the offer quickly. Bridgette thought about it for a few moments, but ultimately decided to take a bag of chips.

Lindsay was the only one truly against it. "I better not, I might break out -" The sight of a candy bar immediately made her gasp. "Is that a Snuffers bar?" Without another thought, she took the candy and gobbled it down.

Alejandro's next and only other target was a single member of Team Amazon. "Sierra, my former teammate! I smuggled this one out just for you." Offering her a box of candy.

Heather immediately interfered with Alejandro's offer. "Well she doesn't want it! We never trust the enemy, especially the excessively disgustingly flirty ones!"

Sierra decided to go along with what Heather said for her. "No thanks, enemy!"

Alejandro was annoyed with this for a moment, but then he changed his focus to Heather. "Well then Chica, perhaps you would want my smuggled gift. I'm just trying to give you poor souls, trapped in economy class, some release from the horrible meals you must partake in."

Heather, taken back by his words, simply grabs the box out of his hands. "Sure, thanks. Now, go away, back to your team!" Alejandro, feeling happy with himself, turned and walked away. As soon as he was back in first class, Heather angrily threw the box to Cody, who caught it with happiness. "Here."

(Confession Cam)

Alejandro - "Of course Heather's bonding with Sierra, she's Chris' favorite! And if that manipulative minx gets Sierra she'll have Chris, too! Oh, she's good, but I'm better. She'll be under my control soon enough."

Heather - "Alejandro is definitely the biggest threat, that much is obvious. I need to get some people to see him for what he really is, and fast. The longer I let him go around and trick people into thinking he's good, the harder it'll be to get rid of him in the long run!

Sierra- "Hey fellow total drama fans! Sierra here with an update for all you Cody fans. His toothpaste of choice, is bubble gum!" Pulling out proof of her statement, Sierra squeals in joy. Unfortunately, her excitement gets the better of her, and her tight grip on her proof causes the cap to pop off, toothpaste flying all around the room. "Oops."

Off screen, Chris managed to get all the contestants down to the cargo hold, and into a large boat that was just big enough for them all. "Take a seat, grab a handle, and I'll tell you where we're going."

Tyler took a seat right by Lindsay. "Sweet boat, guy. Right, Lindsay?"

Lindsay however was more focused on the hunk otherwise known as Alejandro sitting in front of her. "Um, sure. Uh, Dave, is it?" This disappointed the pretend jock.

On the other half of the boat, Noah asked the big question at the moment. "Why are you wearing a life jacket?"

Chris answered him with one of his best sly looks. "Because there's fifteen of you and only one valuable me." He then called out. "Hit it Chef!"

Up in the cockpit, Chef pulled a cord. This caused the floor to open in the cargo hold, sending the boat, fifteen contestants, and one host falling to the ground.

Screaming the entire way down, they quickly landed into a pool of water. Chris immediately started the boat and drove them to a nearby dock. "Welcome to, New York City!"

(Confession Cam)

Lindsay - "New York, New York! Do you know how many stores there are here? I'm gonna buy like 10 seasons worth of lip gloss without even trying!" Squealing to the level of dolphins, the camera cuts to static.

The contestants met at the base of the statue of liberty to hear Chris's challenge. "Your first challenge is a carriage race to Central Park, which I like to call: Liberty or Death!"

Owen was the only one to clap for the challenge, and visibly the only one excited. "I've always dreamed of riding a horse drawn carriage!"

Courtney was probably one of the most annoyed with the challenge. "Don't even think about making me the horse, Heather"

"Slow down conclusion jumpers. It's a baby carriage race." Chris explained.

Looking around, LeShawna couldn't find anything. "So, where are the carriages?"

Chris pointed straight up. Most of the contestants erupted in complaints and fear when they saw the tiny baby carriages dangling from Lady Liberties crown. "Yeah, hope you brought your climbing gloves."

Sierra was the only one excited at this point. "LOL Chris, I think your mischievous spirit makes the game!"

Her words delighted Chris. "Thank you, Sierra. It's nice to be appreciated."

"Appreciated? I love you. I always did, even way back when you were making those terrible movies about talking cats." This new information caused chuckles from the contestants, while Chris became speechless. "I was even going to call my first fan club "The Christians", but that name was already taken." Annoyed with Sierra, Chris pushed her out of the way, and continued with the challenge explanation. Alejandro smiled, finally knowing how to go against Sierra.

"OK, he he, less chatter, more splatter! Er, climbing, more climbing. We'll leave the splatter to fate. Anyhoo, once you reach lady liberties crown, pull up your rope to bring your team up faster. Once everybody's up, your team grabs the correct carriage off the spike, races back down to your boat, and follows the buoys to your next exciting destination, Central Park!"

Lindsay was the only one with a question. "Um... So when do we go shopping?"

Chris gave a short chuckle before answering. "You don't." The area was filled with Lindsay's immediate screams. "No!"

The contestants were now standing with their teams, at the base of three different ropes, getting ready to climb. Alejandro was busy trying to get the attention of a certain member of Team Amazon. "Hey, Sierra, I need to speak to you for a moment."

Against her better judgement, Sierra decided to hear him out. "What is it Alejandro?"

"I am worried about Chris. Do you ever get the feeling he misses his glory days? Back when he was a huge star? That he feels like nobody remembers, or cares?" A whistle sounding from Chris drew Alejandro's attention back to the game. "Crap, gotta go." Dashing off to his team, Sierra headed back to her team in her thoughts. "Poor Chris, I remember, I care!"

Back with the teams, team Chris is really really really really hot immediately started up the rope. Alejandro started up first, quickly followed by an excited Izzy. "Look! I'm a rabid monkey! Ay ya ya ya ya!" Izzy was soon following by Tyler, then Noah, with Owen starting up last.

Team Victory had a short discussion before climbing. Ezekiel, thinking it the polite thing to do, held out his hand to help his teammates start the climb. "Ladies first, eh."

Lindsay smiled at this, about to accept his help, when she was stopped by LeShawna. "Nice try Zeke, but you'll be going up first. Then Bridgette, Lindsay, and I'll climb up last." The team simply followed her orders and began their climb.

Team Amazon was the only team to argue right away. Everyone seemed to have their own idea of how to climb.

Cody's idea was mostly just flirting. "Why don't I go first and make sure it's safe for you ladies?" He moved to grab the rope, but was stopped by Courtney.

"I know exactly how we should climb!"

Gwen was concerned with the CIT's plan. "You're not gonna suggest we belay again are you? Cause that worked so well in Egypt."

"But...no...I...nevermind!" Courtney was defeated.

Duncan threw his arms around both Courtney and Gwen before voicing his own opinion. "I don't care how we do things, so long as I can keep my eyes on my two favorite ladies. Both of whom need to seriously try getting along some time." His comment was returned with

Now it was Heather's turn to speak. "I think Sierra should decide."

This statement shocked the fangirl. "OMG, I thought I knew everything about everyone on this show. You're really nice, Heather."

(Confession Cam)

Sierra - "Of course I know Heather's playing me! I've seen every episode like, fifteen times, hello! I'm playing Heather!"

Back with the challenge, Team Amazon were nearly all climbing the rope now. Duncan was chosen to climb first. His face made it obvious he was more then a little disappointed. "This isn't what I meant by "keep my eyes on my two favorite ladies."

Immediately below him was Gwen, followed by Courtney. "Stop complaining Duncan, it was obvious to everyone you were going first. You are the most...experienced at this type of thing."

Below Courtney was a frustrated Heather. "There is no way I am losing this challenge! Move faster!"

Down on the ground, Sierra was sending Cody up the rope. "After you, I insist!" Cody began his trip up the rope, soon followed by Sierra. "Best view in New York City!" Cody quickly realized what she was talking about, groaning in frustration. Unfortunately, all Cody could do was try and get to the top as fast as he could.

Some time later, the contestants still haven't reached the top, and Chris is getting tired of waiting. "It's been thirty-five blister-busting minutes, and nothing! Hurry up people! I'm officially bored!"

His wish was granted with Alejandro, exhausted and out of breath, arriving at the top. "You, are pure, evil!" Chris merely smiled at his complementing words.

Farther down the ropes, Owen was having troubles of his own. He somehow managed to get his team's rope wrapped around him, and he was currently trying to untangle himself. "Oh, making me sweat. OK, I got it, just...Oh come on!" His struggles only resulted in the ropes tightening around him, restricting his arms and overall movement.

Up closer to the top, Tyler had decided to stop for some sightseeing, "Woah, look at those!" pointing out Lady Liberty's giant, expertly crafted bosom.

Noah couldn't help but laugh. "I think you're better off sticking with the other female with a giant chest. The one that wishes you were still in the game."

"Hey, what's goin' on?" Shifting his head around, Cody became mesmerized by the sight. So mesmerized, that he fell from the rope, straight into lady liberty's chest.

Tyler gave Cody a cheer. "Woo hoo! Ten point landing dude!"

Noah just laughed at him. "Come on Cody! At least buy her a nice dinner first!"

Unfortunately for Cody, he started falling further into the hole. "Uh oh, I'm getting sucked in! Help!"

Sierra climbed onto the scene, as if she sensed Cody was in danger. "I'll save you Cody!" With expert skill, Sierra swings over to Cody, grabs onto his pant leg with her teeth, and yanks him out of the chest, safe and sound.

(Cockpit Confession Cam)

Cody - "I actually thought I was gonna die in there!" Chef chuckled at the boys fortune. "Be one heck of away to go." The realization immediately improved Cody's mood. "True that! Woo hoo hoo hoo!"

At this point, all but one member of each team had reached the top. The rest of the contestants were trying to help out by pulling up their ropes. Team Chris is really really really really hot was having the most trouble, as Owen was still tied up and unable to climb, forcing the team to pull him the entire way up.

Chris was losing his patience with the contestants. "Ugh! Let's go! I'm tired, I'm hungry... and I gotta pee!"

Sierra finally managed to reach the top. Team Amazon cheered for their current lead. "First!" "Yes!" "Woo hoo!" "Sweet!"

Heather surprisingly took it upon herself to get the next part of their challenge done. "I'll get the carriage! Which is only something a really valuable teammate would do!" Her teammates had to get a second look at the queen bee to confirm she was really Heather.

While Heather retrieved their carriage, Sierra ran over to talk with Chris. "Hey, Chris! Know what? I own every one of your TV show appearances on DVD, even your cooking show! "Keep it Plain With Chris McLean"! Your recipe for white rice is so great. It's totally unfair that you got canceled after only one episode!" Chris's annoyed look was ignored as the contestants erupted in laughter.

Embarrassment got the better of Chris as he defended himself. "I was... going... through a... phase!"

Heather quickly returned to her team, carriage in hand. "Tada! Like I said, valuable!"

Happy to change the topic, Chris returned to his host duties. "Team Amazon takes the lead!"

"How do we get back down?" Questioned Courtney.

Chris helped them out by pointing to a pole sticking out of a hole in Lady Liberty's head. Fireman's pole, anyone? It's only a 30 story drop."

One look down the hole struck fear into most of the Amazons, especially Cody. "Ladies first."

The nervous babbling of his teammates annoyed Duncan. "What's wrong ladies? To afraid to take the plunge? I could do this in my sleep!" To prove his point, Duncan jumped down the hole, receiving gasps from his teammates. He quickly grabbed onto the poll and slid the rest of the way down, cheering the entire way.

His reckless action did nothing to encourage his teammates. Fortunately, Gwen was willing to take the next dive. "Well, someone's gotta do it! Here goes!" Grabbing onto the poll, Gwen took the plunge. She quickly picked up speed and started screaming until she hit the ground with a painful thud. She managed to relieve her teams worry with a shout up to them. "I'm okay!"

Down at the base of the pole, Gwen was lying on the ground, still stunned from her was standing by her, chuckling at the landing. "Nice to see somebody's not spineless after all, but you need to work on your dismount."

"We aren't all professionals at this type of stuff like you are Duncan, and personally, I'd rather not become accustomed to climbing ropes and sliding down poles in my life."

Duncan looked at her with fake pity. "It's a darn shame too. Now I suggest we go get the boat ready before Captain Spoilsport can take the wheel."

"Sure, why not? Just promise not to get us killed by your driving." Duncan helped Gwen up, and they ran out the door for the boats. Unknown to them, Courtney was coming down at this time. The screams from her teammates prevented her from hearing them, but she glared as they both ran out the doorway.

(Confession Cam)

Courtney - "Call it paranoia if you must, but something tells me Gwen and Duncan are up to something, and I'm going to figure out what. I've just gotta find a way to do it without suffocating Duncan. Don't want a repeat of last seasons embarrassing lose."

Back up at the top, Lindsay and Ezekiel were helping LeShawna up onto the crown. With their team all safely at the top, Bridgette decided to get the carriage. "I'll get the carriage." Her team's shocked faces confused her. "What?" Realization hit her face. "Oh come on guys! I'm not that clumsy."

"Oh really? Need I remind you of the talent show back in season one?"

"Or that hide and seek challenge." Added Ezekiel.

"Or just earlier today when you tripped on your way out of the confessional." Added Lindsay.

"That last one wasn't my fault! Someone left toothpaste all over the floor. Anyway, I've been practicing, just watch!" Bridgette sticks her hands out for balance, and walks straight up the spike. She easily got their carriage off the spike, causing cheers from her team.

Unfortunately, the cheering didn't last long. A strong blast of wind knocked her off balance, causing her to trip and fall into their carriage. The carriage rolled down the spike, all the way over to the pole. Bridgette just barely managed to get a grip on the pole before she started falling. "That wasn't my fault!" She managed to yell back at her team, while they rushed to catch up with her.

Over with Team Chris, Izzy had watched the entire scene. "Woah, that looked like fun! Owen! Hurry up and get up here so I can do that!"

Owen, in his helpless state, wasn't sure how she expected him to get to the top faster. But, ever the optimist, he yelled back in happiness. "Um, OK! I'll be up there before you know it!" Looking up, Owen realized he was on a direct path to hitting Lady Liberty's nose. He barely manages to swing his body to avoid making contact. "OK, I'm almost there guys! Just a little more!"

Down on the ground, Courtney and her team was running for their boat. The sight of Gwen waving at them, while Duncan was starting up the boat quickly became clear to them. Duncan's attention was finally drawn to his teammates as they jumped on their boat. "Nice to see you slowpokes joining us."

"Normally, I'd be against you driving any type of motorized vehicle, but right now I want to keep our lead, so drive!" Heeding Courtney's command, Duncan rocketed away from the dock at top speed.

Unfortunately, Cody fell right off the boat by the sudden speedy movement. Cody's fall sent Sierra into a panic. "Cody!" Gwen saw the event as well and attempted to get Duncan's attention. "Turn around!" Duncan was just barely able to make out what she said over the roar of their boat's engine. "What?"

Back at the statue, Owen was finally at the top. The work to pull the heavy teammate had seriously exhausted Alejandro, Noah, and Tyler.

Izzy was the only member of the team that still looked energized. "I get the spike! Called it!" Flipping from her hands to her feet, Izzy retrieved their carriage in no time flat. Her teammates cheered for speedy work. "All right Izzy!"

Previous excitement resurfaced in the girl, as she intentionally jumped into the carriage and duplicated Bridgette's earlier accident, cackling the entire way. Her carriage raced to the pole at greater speeds then the previous one, causing a loud crash when finally making contact with the pole. The carriage ended up bouncing back onto Lady Liberty's crown, while Izzy was left upside down, hugging the pole. Izzy just smiled and cheered as she started sliding to the bottom. "Look out below!"

She was soon followed by an excited Tyler, "Extreme!" and a screaming Noah.

Owen attempted to follow next, but his large size ended up getting him stuck in the opening. Owen laughed at his own misfortune, while Alejandro groaned. "Think you could give me a push Al?"

Alejandro promised to help out his teammate. Taking their discarded baby carriage, Alejandro lifted it over his head in a menacing, threatening fashion, terrifying Owen. "Oh, great big apple!" Owen was quickly smashed over the head by their carriage, knocking him loose while being sent hurtling towards the ground. Feeling greatly satisfied, Alejandro kept their carriage in hand, and followed Owen down the pole.

(Confession Cam)

Alejandro- "I couldn't help myself! That butterball put us behind the other teams. And then, when he almost delays us further, all he does is chuckle and smile! His chuckle is like nails on the chalkboard of my brain! If I hadn't gotten to smack him, I think I would've snapped before the challenge ended."

Down at the docks, Cody was trying to climb into another boat. Unfortunately for him, Team Victory hopped onto the boat, hopping to catch up with the Amazons. "Hit it!" LeShawna yelled to Ezekiel, who immediatly drove away from the docks, leaving Cody stranded again. "No! Wait!"

Team Chris is really really really really hot was trying to catch up too, with Alejandro driving off shortly after Team Victory. Cody tried to get their attention, hoping for rescue. "Hey!" His yell failed to reach anyone's attention. Alejandro ended up driving right over top of the boy, pushing him under the water. When he resurfaced, he yelled again in anger. "Hey!"

Team Amazon had finally turned around, and was heading back to retrieve Cody. Seeing their competition drive past them angered Heather. "Great! We've gone from first place to last! Nice work Duncan!" Duncan wasn't able to hear her words. "What?"

Finally reaching Cody, Duncan stopped the boat long enough for Sierra to pull him into the boat. Reeving the boat into a U-turn, the team tried to make up for their mistake.

Lindsay was happy with their current standing in the challenge. "We're totally in first place!" Her teammates were just as excited. "Yeah!" "Mhm!" "Woo!"

Although happy about being in first place, LeShawna was still concerned about the challenge. "But taking a boat to Central Park doesn't make a lick of sense. Park's in the middle of Manhattan!"

The confusion about the challenge was ended shortly after Lindsay saw the next marker. "Oh, there's the next buoy!"

Following the path, the team found themselves driving straight into the New York City sewer system. They were soon followed by the other teams. As each team entered the sewer, a new wave of moans, groans, and disgusted complaints erupted from the boats. Heather especially was disgusted at their location. "The sewer? Ugh! Sometimes I hate Chris! OK, all times!"

From atop the Statue of Liberty, Chris laughed as he used a telescope to watch the teams enter the sewer. "Who'll survive the disgusting, creepy, sliminess of the New York sewers? Better question: What creatures will try and eat them? Find out, when we return, on Total, Drama, World Tour!"

[Insert Commercials Here]

The horrible smells they were enduring were starting to get to LeShawna. "Ugh! There better be a reword at the end of this challenge! Like a long hot shower and disinfectant."

A large, roar like noise startles the team. "Was that an alligator?" Lindsay asked fearfully.

Ezekiel tried to reassure her. "There aren't any alligators in the sewers, eh. That's just a myth or something...right?" Unknown to the team, a bus sized alligator had just surfaced behind them. Rather then catch the team, the alligator changed its target to the larger teams.

Team Chris is really really really really hot had heard the roar too. "Did you hear that? It sounded like a-" Tyler didn't get to finish his sentence, as the giant alligator was currently jumping through the air, mouth open, ready to swallow the team whole. Screaming for their lives, Alejandro just barely managed to speed the boat ahead of the alligator's landing point.

Resurfacing, the alligator wasn't ready to give up yet. Unfortunately, before it could give chase, Team Amazon drove right over it's giant head, propelling them into the air for a short distance. Once again changing its target, the alligator raced after the boat. When he was right behind them, he started snapping at their boat. Duncan wasn't willing to just let them be eaten. "You want us? Well come and get us, lizard breath!" Duncan buried the needle, rocketing off at top speed for the nearest exit.

Up ahead, Team Victory had found the exit. Driving straight out of a pipe, they found themselves at Central Park.

They were quickly followed by Team Chris is really really really really hot. "Woo hoo! Yay! Let's go again!" Cheered Izzy.

Team Victory was filled with emotion over surviving. LeShawna and Bridgette were hugging and cheering. "We're alive!" Lindsay was hugging an embarrassed Ezekiel. "I love you guys."

Alejandro was more concerned with another matter then celebrating survival. "Where's Heather's boat?"

His question was answered, as Team Amazon flew from the escape pipe, their screams filling the air. The alligator attempted to follow, but ended up getting stuck in the pipe. The Amazons were moving so fast, they ended up crashing straight into a nearby dock. Chris and Chef barely managed to jump out of the way before the crash. Team Amazon ended up in pile, over on dry land, dazed and injured. The other teams drove up the wreckage and stopped their boats.

Chris looked at the wreckage, then at Team Amazon with a smile. "Oh, nasty! Hope you guys still have enough energy for the second part of today's challenge!" The team grumbled as they picked themselves up the ground. "Chef, you're gonna have to fix the dock while we move on with the challenge. I promised nothing would be damaged during the challenge today, and I'm not risking another lawsuit."

Chef grumbled as he got out the necessary tools to fix the dock. "Stupid TV show."

Sierra was ecstatic to see Chris bossing Chef around. "Chris you are such a brilliant commander! That's why you always stood out in your boy band."

This interesting new fact greatly interested many of the contestants, such as Owen. "Woah, woah, woah, woah, woah! Chris was in boy band?"

Chris panicked. "Moving on!"

Sierra didn't want to move on yet. "Back in the 80's he was. ~Making trouble is easy to do, but making you love me is painful~. Their called themselves Fame Town!"

(Confession Cam)

The screen was divided into fifteen different windows. Chris and Sierra were the only two not seen, as every other contestant and Chef were laughing hysterically.

All the contestants were still laughing at Chris's past, greatly angering the host.

Unfortunately for him, Sierra still wasn't done talking. "I really admire the way you never let mockery get to you. I'll have to include that in your obituary. I already have a draft! Wanna hear?" Taking a deep breath, she continued without waiting for an answer. "Chris McLean was born in 1978."

Before she could continue, Chris finally snapped. "That is it! Zip it, permanently! Argh!" The outburst was exactly what Alejandro had been hoping for.

(Confession Cam)

Heather- "Sierra could've been Chris' pet all season but she threw it away! This makes her way less useful! How could this have happened?" She suddenly realizes. "Wait a minute. That smile, Alejandro! That sneaky jerk!" Laughing at her discovery. "It's really on now. Just you wait!"

All the contestants were standing in their teams now, waiting for Chris to continue the challenge. Chris was happy to have finally regained order. "Alright, focus people. Welcome to the second half of the challenge. Bobbing for big apples, NYC style. Here's how it's gonna go down. Teams must push their carriage along the path to Central Park's fabled turtle pond. There, one member of each team will bob for some very special apples, using only their mouths, no hands. Once they get it to shore, the rest of the team must load it into their carriages, and race to the finish line in the heart of Central Park. And what's a baby carriage without a baby?"

Owen was eager to answer. "Oh, oh! A shopping cart!"

Chris was annoyed by the interruption. "It was a rhetorical question."

Sierra was ecstatic again. "Oh, Chris. That is so-" She was again cut off by an angry Chris. "Zip it!" Alejandro secretly winked at Heather, who shot daggers back.

Chris continued his explanation. "One member of each team must ride in the carriage and stay there, all the way to the finish line."

Team Amazon instantly, in unison, came to a decision. The only one who didn't answer, was the team's choice. "Cody."

Noah eagerly volunteered for his team. "I'll do it."

Lindsay also volunteered quickly. "Ooh! I'll do it for Team Victory! I love it when people call me baby!"

Noah nudged Tyler. "Make a mental note of that, bro."

Tyler checked his pockets, but ended up failing to find anything. "I don't have a pen."

Chris was happy the decisions went by smoothly. The contestants didn't even complain as they climbed into their carriages. "Feel free to take whatever path you want, but no short cuts off the path. Oh, and a little traveling music please!" The music bell was sounded, causing the contestants to become either excited, or annoyed.

Courtney was probably the most excited. "It's always been a dream of mine to dance in New York City!"

LeShawna represented the other factor of opinion. "So we're really doing thing music part every single time?"

Chris happily answered her with a smile. "Fun huh?" Duncan answered him. "No, not fun." Chris ignored him. "Now move it! We only have permit to cordon off this section of the park for another hour."

The contestants took off running, or riding, as the music was started.

What's not to love

Courtney: What's not to love about New York City?
The taxis honk out a New York ditty!
The crime is high!
The pigeons fly!
What's not to love about New York~?

Owen: The lights are brighter!
The fun is funner!
The bagels are bageler,
And the bums are bummer!
The dirt and grime make every alley shine!
What's not to love about New York~?

Lindsay: The stores, and the fashion!
Big shows where stars cash in!
It's crazy, 'cause the city never sleeps~!

Ezekiel: Zeke time, eh! Check it! [1]
I'm outta my house, roaming the streets of NYC.
Lookin' 'round this place, I can tell it's where I need to be.
Struttin' down the streets, I'll be drinking some Snapple.
Wonderin' where I can find that big ol' apple.
I'll be cheerin' for fun, checkin' the b-ball games.
Wonderin' win the heck I'll have my fame.
I'll beat 'em all! I'll win this game!

The music was abruptly stopped by LeShawna. "Woah, woah, woah there Ezekiel. It's fine to be determined and all, but the season's barely the cockiness for later, a'ight?" A nod of the head from Ezekiel was all LeShawna needed to see. She waved her hand to something off screen, and the music started up again.

Team Amazon: Subway trains, and the hustle-bustle!

Team Amazon and Team Victory: Cappuccinos while the mobsters tussle

Owen: And pretzel stands for all us pretzel fans!

Owen drops an arm full of pretzels onto Noah. "Whoa, hot, hot, hot!"

Owen: What's not to love?

Owen and Lindsay: What's not to love?

Everyone: What's not to love~ about New York?

(Confession Cam)

Gwen- "You know what? I'm not really loving New York City."

Bridgette - "It's cities like these that ruin our environment!"

Noah - "Meh, not much of a fan."

Cody - Holding an empty tube of toothpaste. "oh, great! Somebody used all my toothpaste again!"

The contestants all ended up at the turtle pond at the same time. Chris and Chef were standing on a large rock in the center of the pond, making sure nobody would cheat during the challenge. On the far side of the pond, there were three, huge apples, each easily being the size of Owen. The size amazed everyone, except Noah, who had fallen asleep in his baby carriage at some point. Ezekiel was especially amazed. "Woah, those apples are huge, eh!"

Chris felt the need to remind the contestants of the rules. "Remember, no hands!"

Tyler was pumped, and ready to do the challenge. "I've totally got this, guys!" Tyler didn't wait for any advice, running for the pond and jumping straight in. Unfortunately his dive ended up being a painful belly flop. He sank straight under the surface in pain, as the contestants flinched at his misfortune.

Bridgette was the one to volunteer for Team Victory. "Don't worry guys, I'll get it." She too jumped straight into the water, but unlike Tyler, she accomplished a real dive. She quickly swam for the apples, while her team shouted encouragements. "Thanks Bridgette!" "Go show that apple who's boss!" "Awesome dive, eh!"

Courtney was panicked by Tyler and Bridgette's quick actions. "OK, someone needs to dive in fast before we get behind!"

Sierra apparently had a plan of some sorts. "Oh! Last year, I broke my leg in the egg and spoon race at the Chris McLean fan club picnic!

Gwen had to stop her and ask a question. "Hold up, there's a Chris McLean fan club picnic?"

Sierra continued. "It's awesome! There were like six of us. Anyway, I had to stay off it for over a month, and I took this seal training course online." Mimicking a seal for unknown reasons, Sierra laughed. "Handy huh?"

This unnecessary explanation only annoyed Courtney. "I repeat, dive in!" Sierra did as she was told and ran right into the pond.

Finding nothing today, Alejandro decided to flirt with Heather. "Central Park is so romantic, don't you find?"

Heather only grew annoyed with him. "Whatever, I know you've been playing with Sierra's head, so back off, or you'll wish you had!"

Alejandro just continued his flirting. "My wish doesn't involve backin' off."

"Ugh! Just go play with your stupid team, and leave us alone!"

"You're beautiful when you play hard to get." A growl from Heather finally gave him the hint. "I'm going!" He walked away to join his team in cheering on Tyler, leaving a sleeping Noah unguarded.

"You bet you are! Right out of the game!" Seeing the sleeping Noah gave Heather an idea. Grabbing the carriage, she ran him over to a nearby women. The women was too busy talking on her cell phone to notice Heather swap Noah's carriage, for her own blue baby carriage. She then moved the new carriage back, while Team Chris is really really really really hot was too busy cheering for Tyler to notice.

In the water, Tyler managed to be the first one to an apple. Unfortunately, the apple he choose was being guarded by a group of angry looking snapping turtles. All the turtles started attacking a screaming Tyler, while Chris laughed at the boy's misfortune. "It's called turtle pond for a reason bro!"

Over on shore, Duncan shuddered at Tyler's situation. "That brings back some bad memories of Camp Wawanakwa."

"You have goodmemories from Camp Wawanakwa?" Gwen joked.

Duncan thought about it for a moment, then came up with an answer. "Hm...well, meeting you, Courtney, and some of the other competition wasn't a bad thing."

Courtney found the statement to be sweet. "Aww, Duncan. I knew you could be sorta sweet sometimes." She pulled him into a hug, which Duncan quickly enjoyed.

Gwen on the other hand, had a different opinion. "Ack! Corny alert, corny alert!"

Duncan pulled away from Courtney to defend himself. "Hey! If memory serves, you pulled the same line to Trent one time."

Gwen put her hands up to defend herself now. "Guilty as charged, but it's still a corny line." She playfully punched him in the arm while Duncan smiled in triumph. Courtney on the other hand, glared at the two, although her glare went unnoticed.

Back in the water, Tyler was finally ridding himself of the turtles while Bridgette had reached another apple. Alejandro, worried about Tyler's slow progress, yelled some advice. "Use your head Tyler! Hurry!"

Tyler took his advice, and went to hitting an apple with his head to make it move. Bridgette's apple was sideways, she was able to grab the stem with her teeth and drag it back to shore. Sierra reached the final remaining apple, and choose to amazingly balance it on her head.

Cody was very weirded out by Sierra method. "You are so weird!"

Alejandro quickly grabbed Tyler's apple as he reached shore first. "Quick! We're barely in the lead!" Tyler almost fell unconscious from the constant head blows, but Owen managed to help him out of the water, choosing to carry him the rest of the way. Alejandro rallied his team as he dropped their apple into their empty carriage, failing to notice the absent Noah. "To the finish line!" And off they ran.

Bridgette made it to shore right after they had run off. Ezekiel and LeShawna grabbed the apple from her teeth, and gave it to Lindsay to carry. LeShawna then grabbed the carriage and rallied the already rallied team. "Let's go! We can still beat them, they aren't that far ahead!" And they gave chase.

Sierra choose to carry the apple on her head the entire way to their carriage. Her slow pace panicked Heather. "Hurry!" She dropped the apple onto Cody, and they took off after the other teams.

Chris and Chef somehow managed to beat all the contestants to the finish line. They were even deep in an unknown conversation already. "She's got a sister, you know."

"For real? Aw, give her my digits man-"

The sounds of the contestants drew Chris's attention back to the challenge. "oh, hold on, here they come!"

Team Chris is really really really really hot arrived on the scene. Owen and Izzy immediately celebrated. "We're awesome!" "First place!"

The sounds of a baby quickly alerted the team to their baby carriage. Alejandro removed their giant apple, and revealed a real baby. Izzy was shocked. "Noah regressed into a baby!"

Owen noticed something missing that made him panic. "And he ate all my pretzels!"

Tyler, hanging over Owen's shoulder, noticed something wrong. "Wait, this isn't our carriage!"

Chris calmly informed the team of the rules. "No Noah, means no first place."

This panicked Alejandro. "We have to go back!"

Back at the pond, Noah was still sound asleep in the carriage. The mother finally finished her cell phone conversation, and turned her attention to what she thought was her baby. "OK now, who gets a big kiss?" Noticing her baby missing, and Noah in its place, the mother screamed. This woke Noah up, who started screaming as well. Fortunately, Alejandro showed up and through their apple onto Noah. Giving the mother back her baby, he started running back to the finish line.

Unfortunately, they weren't able to make it in time. They moved fast enough just to see Team Victory arrive first, followed by Team Amazon, leaving them in last place. As they ran back into the finish line, Alejandro yelled, "What? We lost!"

Chris answered his question by announcing the placings. "And the winner of the New York challenge is, Team Victory! Finally!" Said team erupted in cheers. "Team Amazon, congrats on not coming in last." The team cheered, but some members were still annoyed that they'd have to sit in economy class again. "And, Team Chris is really really really really hot, you're facing elimination for the first time. But, you won't have to go through with it, cause this is really a reward challenge! Psych!"

Team Victory didn't care that they didn't cause another elimination, they were just happy to win and get a reward. Team Amazon, especially Heather, were all made and annoyed at the announcement. While Team Chris is really really really really hot erupted in cheers at their luck. Alejandro even blew a mock kiss to Heather, who returned it with a dagger filled glare.

"Team Victory, meet me in the elimination room for your price after we take off."

With the plane back up to the air, Team Victory found themselves in the elimination room, waiting for Chris to announce their rewards. Chris himself was once again standing behind his podium. "As the winners of this reward challenge, Team Victory gets to keep or dump the prizes contained in the apples. Have at it ladies."

Ezekiel felt insulted. "Hey!" Chris ignored his outburst, instead tossing him a large, wooden hammer. Ezekiel took one look at the hammer, then turned to his teammates. "Is it OK if I open one?"

LeShawna confirmed that it was fine. "Go ahead Home-school. You and Bridgette did a lot today. Just make sure you share if it's anything good." Lindsay nodded in agreement, while Bridgette stood up and walked with Ezekiel over to the apples.

Ezekiel went first. Swinging with all his might, he smashed an apple to pieces, revealing a pile of candy. "Sweet! This is awesome, eh!" He started filling his pockets with his own share of the challenge, even choosing to fill his hat with candy.

Bridgette picked up the discarded hammer and went next, breaking her apple just as much. Luckily, she didn't damage any of the pile of apples she found. "We're finally going to have something healthy to eat! So long as these aren't rotten." Chris assured her that they were perfectly fresh apples.

Lindsay turned to LeShawna. "You open the last one, I'll wait for next time."

LeShawna thanked the girl. "Thanks Lindsay. I'll have to make sure you stick around for next time now." Walking up to the final apple, LeShawna denied use of the hammer, instead choosing to use her own fists. The hole she made was soon filled with tiny statues of Chris McLean. Chris smiled proudly at the prize. "You're welcome! They're custom made, priceless renditions of yours truly." LeShawna took one look at her price, opened the door, and kicked the entire apple out into open air.

Chris ran to the door in shock. "How could you?" LeShawna just dusted off her hands, feeling the job was well done. "That felt extremely satisfying."

Chris, disappointed, went on to end the episode. "Will Heather ever manage to earn the respect of her teammates? Will I ever gain any respect for all the hard work I do on this show?" A "Not likely!" was yelled at Chris by LeShawna. Chris ignored her and continued. "Find out next time, on Total, Drama, World Tour!"

[1] - Visuals for Ezekiel's rap part of the song:

I'm outta my house, roaming the streets of NYC
Ezekiel struts down a street in New York

Lookin' 'round this place, I can tell it's where I need to be
Ezekiel at the top of the statue of liberty, looking at the entire city through binoculars

Struttin' down the streets, I be drinking some Snapple
Ezekiel struts the street again, with a drink in his hand

Wonderin' where I can find that big ol' apple
Ezekiel stops and looks around

I'll be cheering for fun, checkin' the b-ball games
Ezekiel sitting in the stands at a baseball game

Wonderin' when the heck, I'll have my fame
Ezekiel looks at a wall of golden stars, eyeing ones titled "Owen" "Gwen" "Duncan" and "Heather"

I'll beat 'em all! I'll win this game!
Ezekiel picks up a star with his name on it, lifting it above him in victory

There, the episode I've been dreading most is finally done. There's just something about the NYC episode that just made me not want to write it.

Next up, the aftermath of Harold and DJ.
