"The Perfect Storm."
The episode opens with Chris standing on the dock of shame, holding his head wearily, and groaning painfully as he speaks. It's evident that he is still hung over from the previous episode's events. He mumbles his opening lines quickly in an attempt to get the routinely recap over with.
Chris: "Last time on: Total Drama Island….Insanity!"
A white flash overtakes the screen as the recap begins, revealing a clip of Noah and Nourhan making out.
Chris: "On the Killer Bass, Nourhan started out with the odds stacked against her…"
Multiple blindsides are shown to have shocked Nourhan, including that of Matt and Kelly.
Chris: "…And Steven quickly dismissed her as a strong contender, but Jonathon knew better."
A clip of Jonathon talking in the confessional booth, explaining how Nourhan is becoming stronger and stronger without the influence of Noah, is shown.
Chris: "Meanwhile on the Screaming Gophers, different rivalries were forming…"
A flash once again illuminates the screen, and when it fades Alex and Krystal are seen putting Doug's hand in warm water. This is followed by a clip of Doug causing Alex to cry in the confessional Booth after making fun of his poor athletic abilities.
Chris: "Since day one, Alex and Doug have been on different sides and until recently, things have been working in Alex's favor…"
Alex, Krystal, and Josh are shown creating their final three alliance as Doug is isolated by his entire team.
Chris: "But now the tables have turned and Doug is taking control.."
Doug is shown befriending Josh , worrying Alex greatly in the process.
Chris: "…But in the end, it was Sam's bond with Krystal that sent Eric packing!"
Krystal is seen arguing with Alex on whether to vote out Doug or Eric. Rhis is followed by a clip from the previous episode of Eric walking across the dock of shame, much to Sam's satisfaction.
Chris: "Will Alex come to regret his decision? Find out tonight when a storm hits camp Wawanakwa on…"
Chris is seen standing on the dock in present time when clouds begin to form overhead and thunder begins to roar in the grey sky.
Chris: "Total…Drama…Island…Insanity!"
The Cabin Porch: The Killer Bass.
When the recap fades out, the grey clouds have overtaken the entire sky and not a bit of blue can be seen. Rain is pouring down harshly upon the camp, and it looks as if it will not be stopping anytime soon. The Killer Bass are all huddled tightly together with Jonathon in the middle, and Sarah and Nourhan on opposite sides of the group.
Confessional Booth: Sarah.
Sarah is crying in the confessional booth as she makes out little words to describe how she is feeling in this moment.
Sarah: "It's been raining all morning, and there's leaks all over these crappy cabins so it's not like it really matters where we go, we can't escape this storm! This whether is just really sucking right now and I don't know when it's going to let up…"
Sarah wipes tears from her face as thunder fills her ears.
The Cabin Porch: The Killer Bass.
Jonathon looks to his left and witnesses a shivering, and crying Sarah. She is soaking wet and her tears seem to be falling as fast the rain drops above them. Jonathon than gazes to his right and see's Nourhan simply staring off in the distance. She is not visibly bothered nor shivering. The rain is not affecting her emotions what so ever.
Confessional Booth: Jonathon.
Jonathon: "I think the rain is very telling as to who is a threat to be reckoned with in this game. It separates the weak from the strong. Sarah hasn't been, and still can't, get her emotions under control when facing a situation that's out of her comfort zone. Nourhan , on the other hand, has gone from this weeping, insecure follower; To someone who isn't fazed in the slightest by such circumstances. I'd be lying if I said this didn't worry me."
The Cabin Porch: The Screaming Gophers.
The Screaming Gophers are also huddled together, attempting to stay warm as the inside of their cabin is flooded. Hector is crying uncontrollably while hiding under his hoodie that is now completely zipped up, covering his face. Haley is burying her face in Henry's chest and sobbing quietly.
Haley: "I just hate the lightening so much…"
Henry rubs her back soothingly when she says this. After this, the camera pans over to Doug who is sitting by Josh. He glares over to Alex who is sitting next to Krystal and is looking up towards the dark sky. When Alex looks down, his eyes meet Doug's cold stare before Doug immediately looks away.
Confessional Booth: Doug.
Doug: "There's been a war brewing between Alex, Krystal and I for days now. I really think it's been the biggest power struggle since the beginning of the game. They made a mistake in not taking me out last night, because as far as I'm concerned, now that I have Josh on my side, neither of them stand a chance.
Doug gives a menacing smirk the camera's way before his confessional fades out.
Confessional Booth: Alex.
Alex: "I come from a place where it rains literally all the time, so the rain isn't bothering me in the slightest. While everyone lets it bring their spirits down, I'm actually drawing strength from it because it reminds me of what I'm here for. I've let people bully me since I was a little kid, and I'm sick of it. I'm not letting Doug walk all over me just like all those other jerks have all my life! So yea, I would say a storm is brewing, both literally and figuratively. It's symbolic really…So If you think about it, than in that sense I suppose this really could be considered the perfect storm…A storm is coming, and you best bet you don't want to be on my bad side when it hits!"
Total Drama Island: Insanity Intro.
As the Opening theme begins to play cameras begin to pop out of strange places, including an underground burrow and a tree. As the last camera comes out , a clapperboard is held in front of the camera and is slammed shut.
"Dear mom and dad I'm doing fine…."
The camera goes past the dock of shame revealing the Camp Wawanakwa sign. As the scenery continues to be shown , the camera rushes past Chris than continues up the ever so familiar mountain before going over the cliff and through the ring , venturing into the treacherous waters!
"….You guys are on my mind!"
Hector is shown happily swimming in the water before being frightened after seeing a shark and rushing towards the surface.
"You asked me what I wanted to be, and now I think the answer is plain to see…."
As Hector emerges from the surface, Wyatt and a crying Sarah are seen floating past him on an old , gray plank. From behind his back Wyatt pulls out Sarah's teddy bear and holds it towards her, much to her delight. However just as he does so a hawk sweeps down and snatches it, sending Sarah back into hysterics.
"I wanna be famous!"
The hawk flies above Steven, who is in the forest surrounded by pumpkins. As snakes begin to make there way out of the pumpkins Steven screams like the little girl he is deep down, and begins to run. As the camera zooms out Nathalie is seen holding a snake and smiling as Jonathon puts his hands on his hips and raises his left brow at her before the suns vibrant light overcomes this view.
"I wanna live close to the sun."
As the sunlight retracts and a new scene is revealed, Josh and Doug are seen bickering at each other on a raft before going over a waterfall.
"Well pack your bags cuz I've already won."
Matt is seen standing on a long and narrow log, with one hand in the air and one hand on his heart, reciting what looks to be a play in a rather over dramatic light.
"Everything to prove, nothing in my way."
Kelly swings by on a vine, grabbing Matt by the collar of his shirt and taking him along for the ride. As they rush past parts of the camp she drops Matt into the outhouse which falls over because of this. Courtney tumbles out of the outhouse and walks around slightly dazed before falling over, hitting the ground rather hard.
"I'll get there one day."
The camera pans through the cafeteria window, showing Chef making some kind of disgusting grub before going over to Sam and Eric who are looking at each other dreamily before a spoonful of Chef's food is shoved between them. Looks of disgust are shared between the two before Nourhan and Noah are seen laughing together at a nearby table.
"I wanna be famous!"
As the scene changes to the outdoors, both Kimi and Vittoria are seen admiring Alex who is in the water looking at himself in a small hand mirror.
"Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na…"
As Alex smiles at himself in the mirror it shatters into a dozen pieces, much to his dismay.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
The camera pans over to the Dock of Shame where the hawk drops Sarah's teddy bear into Krystal's arm. Krystal grins manically at this before pulling a lighter out of her pocket and setting the small girl's bear on fire. As laughter continues to erupt from her mouth, she throws the doll up into the air.
"I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous!"
As the burning stuffed animal falls from the sky, the daylight shifts to night. The bear falls down in between Haley and Henry, who are about to kiss when Brooke, who's hair is now on fire, pops up between them. As the camera begins to zoom out, the twenty-two campers are revealed to be sitting at the Bonfire Ceremony. All of them are whistling with the exception of Brooke who is screaming, Krystal who is laughing, and Sarah who is crying hysterically.
Total Drama Island: Insanity!
The Woods.
There is a wide, overhead shot of the woods. Small dots standing on the outliers of the woods can be seen from this view. There is still a treacherous downpour as the camera quickly rushes down through the tree's, revealing both teams to be standing in front of Chris. While all the campers are standing hunched over, several of which cross armed as they become drenched in water, Chris is standing under a large, black umbrella. It is apparent that while all the teens are suffering, not a drop of rain has fallen on his jet black hair.
Chris: "Is everyone pumped for today's challenge!?"
All the campers exchange looks of agitation when he says this. Chris simply laughs this off.
Chris: "For today's challenge, we'll be having a paintball deer hunt!"
Everyone becomes wide eyed when Chris says this, with the exception of Sam who erupts in cheers. Everyone looks at her horrifically, as if she's done something terribly wrong.
Chris: "Three people from each team will be selected to be the deer. Those three people will be given a five minute head start into the woods, and after that five minutes that's where the hunters come in."
Without warning Chris pulls out a paint gun from seemingly no where and shoots Steven in the face. After he does this, several of his team mates gasp. Chris lets out a small chuckle when he see's their reactions.
Chris: "Oh, that never gets old!"
Everyone exchanges looks of agitation and dismay when he says this.
Chris: "Anyways, as I was saying, the hunters will be given paintball guns and their job will be to find their target from the opposing team. This target will be selected at random. Your job as a hunter is to find your target and shoot them three times, which will result in their elimination from the challenge! Once all the "deer" from one team have been completely disposed of, the winning team will be declared! Any questions?"
Sarah: "Won't the rain just wash off the paint…?"
Chris: "Excuse you! Raise your hand if you have a question!"
Sarah's hand shoots to the sky and she begins to jump up and down, eager to be called on.
Chris: "Any questions? No? Okay, good!"
Sarah puts her hand down and rolls her eyes in annoyance.
Chris: "Let's get this challenge started!"
With a flash of the screen, a time jump commissions. When the flash fades out, the two teams are seen huddled together with about three yards separating them. The Screaming Gophers seem to be in a heated discussion on who's going to shoot.
Sam: "I go to the shooting range all the time back home, I should be shooting!"
Henry: "You're the most athletic though, we're going to need you to run from the other team!"
Sam rolls her eyes and nods reluctantly.
Sam: "Fine!"
Henry smiles happily.
Henry: "Good, than it's decided. Sam, Haley, Hector, and I will be the deer!"
After Henry says this, thunder fills the sky which is followed by an illuminating flash. Haley gulps loudly.
Henry: "Everything okay?"
Haley bites her bottom lip and nods nervously.
Haley: "Mmhm…"
Confessional Booth: Haley.
Haley: "Okay so I lied…everything is defiantly not okay! I'm terrified of lightening! I have no idea how I'm going to get through this challenge…
Another round of thunder can be heard from outside of the booth, followed by a loud, snapping noise. Within in an instant, a tree comes crashing down into the booth and nearly hit's a terrified Haley. She begins to scream and cowers in the corner of the booth.
Outside of the Woods.
The Killer Bass are shown to be discussing their plan in today's challenge.
Steven: "So it's decided then; Vittoria, Jonathon, Kimi, and myself are the hunters!"
Nathalie looks up at Steven angrily.
Nathalie: "I don't remember agreeing to that!"
Steven shrugs , carelessly.
Steven: "And I don't remember validating your opinion important!"
Nathalie grinds her teeth angrily. When Steven begins to walk away to prepare for the challenge, Jonathon turns to Nathalie.
Jonathon: "Don't worry, this way I can protect you."
Jonathon smiles at an awe struck Nathalie before heading off. Nathalie's expression immediately backtracks to anger when she see's Nourhan making kissy faces at her.
Confessional Booth: Nathalie.
Nathalie: "Admittedly what Jonathon said was sweet and admiring….Also caring, sensitive, reassuring, an_"
Nathalie stops mid sentence when she realizes what she's saying.
Nathalie: "But that doesn't mean I like him!"
Outside of the Woods.
Hector, Sam, Henry, Haley, Nourhan, Nathalie, and Sarah are all dressed up as deer's. They have bright red noses moronically duct taped to their face and plastic antlers (Some of which are broken) on their head. All of them look very displeased at the situation they've been put in.
Nathalie: "I'd just like to say that I find this game highly offensive!"
Chris raises his hand, which is now holding a black and white checkered flag, up into the air.
Chris: "On your mark…"
Nathalie: "I actually protested against hunting outside Nature's Window like five months ago…"
Chris: "…Get set…"
Nathalie: "This completely goes against everything I believe in and I can't help but feel this is a personal attack against me!"
Chris: "GO!"
Chris's hand rushes down, signaling the beginning of the challenge as all the contenders, with the exception of a nagging Nathalie, rush off into the forest for their head start.
Nathalie: "Also Chris, this isn't fooling anybody!"
Nathalie is now shown grabbing a strand of Chris's hair before gasping loudly.
Nathalie: "Oh my god…is this made out of animal hair!"
Chris looks at Nathalie with disgust and anger.
Chris: "I SAID GO!"
Chris yells this loudly into her ear, startling the animal lover. She looks at him with confusement and rolls her eyes before beginning to walk into the forest.
Nathalie: "Damn dude, what's up your butt? There's no need to yell…"
Chris crosses his arms and rolls his eyes.
The Woods: Haley and Henry.
The couple is shown running through the woods vigorously when Haley comes to a sudden halt after a sudden strike of lightening.
Henry: "Haley, what're you doing!? We have to go!"
Haley is soaking wet and shivering loudly. The girl is visibly miserable and scared , making desperate attempts to suck it up and move on.
Haley: "Yea, sorry!"
She begins to run once again beside her boyfriend.
Confessional Booth: Haley.
Haley: "This storm is really getting to me. I've been afraid of lightening and thunder all my life! I just have to keep telling myself to suck it up though….I want to be strong for Henry. I don't want him to think I'm weak and defenseless, I don't want him to see this side of me!"
Outside of the Woods.
Chris is seen walking around to the hunters, ( Who are now fully equipped with both glasses and paintball guns) holding what looks to be a bowl with several papers in it. Each hunter takes one paper and reads it to themselves; On the paper is the name of their targets. Alex and Doug both receive Nathalie, which angers the two that they must team up for this challenge. Steven gets Haley, Jonathon gets Henry, Vittoria gets Hector, and Josh gets Nourhan. The last person to unfold their paper is Krystal, who is saddened when she reveals her own sisters name.
Chris: "Hunters, it's been five minutes! Let the hunt begin, and may the odds be ever in your favor!"
Chris chuckles to himself as everyone sets off into the woods.
Confessional Booth: Krystal.
Krystal: "Getting Sarah is probably the worst thing that could've happened to me. "
Krystal buries her face in her hands briefly before lifting it back up.
Krystal: "I don't know if I can take my sister out of this challenge without hesitation…If she loses it for her team she might appear weak and get voted off and I don't want to have a part in that….I don't know what I'm going to do."
The Woods: Alex and Doug.
Alex and Doug are walking through the forest in a long and awkward silence, which Alex reluctantly breaks.
Alex: "So…Where do you think we'll find Nathalie?"
Doug laughs mockingly and rolls his eyes.
Doug: "Cut the crap! I know you don't want to work with me, and I sure as hell don't want to work with you!"
Alex laughs when Doug says this.
Alex: "We don't really have a choice, do we?"
Doug rolls his eyes and smirks.
Doug: "You can find her on your own because I'm not helping you!"
Alex watches Doug walk off arrogantly.
Confessional Booth: Alex.
Alex: "Doug's arrogance is out of hand."
Alex rolls his eyes and smiles.
Alex: "The fact that he told me straight up he has no intention of helping me just makes me more adamant about taking him out the first chance I get. I have Hector, I have Krystal, and Krystal has Sam. All we need now is one more vote, and it's looking like Josh will end up being that vote. At this point I don't care if they're friends or not, I'm not gonna lounge around like a sitting duck! Doug needs to go and that's all there is to it.
The Woods: Steven and Jonathon.
The two friends are walking cautiously through the woods, guns in their hands. They are discussing their personal lives until conversation gradually transitions to strategy.
Jonathon: "So, who do you think should be next on our hit list?"
The two come to a stop and face each other.
Steven: "Honestly, I'm still worried about Sarah. I don't care if she won yesterday's challenge or not. In my eyes that makes her more of a threat because now people will be more likely to side with her in the future out of gratitude!"
Jonathon nods , somewhat agreeing with what Steven is saying but there's a hint of hesitation in this gesture.
Jonathon: "I see what you're saying but I just don't think she's going to be someone who will be hard to pick off later on."
Steven: "If you're not thinking Sarah, than who're you thinking?"
Jonathon: "Nourhan."
Steven's eyes light up with excitement when Jonathon says this.
Steven: "Why, Nourhan?"
Jonathon: "Just looking at her and how much she's grown in these last few weeks scares the crap out of me. She's gone from a weak, dependant player to an individual in this game."
Steven nods in agreement as Jonathon continues to explain his reasoning for targeting Nourhan.
Confessional Booth: Jonathon.
Jonathon: "I've been so adamant for so long about taking Nourhan out, and now that I've run it by Steven and he agrees…It seems as though my plan might finally be set into motion. Things for me couldn't be running any smoother."
The Woods: Hector.
Music that resembles a ballet orchestra is playing in the background while Hector is shown frolicking through the flowers on all fours. He prances about, sniffing several flowers while he moves forward. He stops for a second and lifts up his leg, looking as though he is doing something that is too crude for television.
Confessional Booth: Hector.
Hector: "Considering my mother was part dear, this challenge was made for me….yeaaa…"
Hector's eyes look glazed over and a grim smile spreads across his face.
The Woods: Hector.
There is a wide grin that spreads from ear to ear as he continues to "mark his territory." This smile immediately fades , however, when the sound of a twig snapping reaches his ears. He sticks his nose up in the air and begins sniffing.
Hector: "Is that…"
Hector huffs twice.
Hector: "Vittoria I smell…?"
The camera pans out to reveal Vittoria hiding in the bushes. Right after Hector says this, her eyes widen in fear.
Confessional Booth: Vittoria.
Vittoria: "Oh, he's good…"
The Woods: Hector and Vittoria.
Vittoria slows her breathing in an effort to not be noticed by Hector, but this is to no avail. Hector's arm reaches into the bushes, snatches Vittoria's gun, and smacks her across the face with it. He smiles satisfactorily and than prances away with the contraption between his teeth.
The Woods: Josh.
The scene transitions to Teen Jesus who has Nourhan in his sights, ready to shoot her when…
Alex: "Hey there buddy!"
Josh is startled by Alex and screams, accidentally shooting the side of a tree beside Nourhan and Nathalie. The two girls run off.
Josh: "Seriously!? We could've gotten them both in one go!"
Alex dismisses this with a wave of his hand.
Alex: "Forget that, there's more important things going on right now!"
Josh: "Like?"
Alex: "It's Doug, I think he's gunning for me."
Josh's eyes widen when Alex says this.
Confessional Booth: Josh.
Josh: "I've been very aware of the rivalry between Alex and Doug, but I didn't realize it was this bad. Alex is completely paranoid. I have to do damage control and make sure that neither of them target each other. As far as I'm concerned, they're both good allies of mine and it's vital for my game that we all move past our differences and work together."
The Woods: Alex and Josh.
When the confessional fades out, Alex finishes telling Josh what happened between himself and Doug earlier in the day.
Josh: " You're thinking way too much into what he said. I think you need to take a breather and re consider what you're telling me."
Alex rolls his eyes and shakes his head.
Alex: "No Josh, he wants me out. I know he does. As soon as I'm gone he's one notch higher on the totem pole in your eyes!"
Josh lets out a small laugh.
Josh: "Don't worry so much! Doug isn't coming after you, and even if he does he'd need my vote to seal the deal. If there's any move being made against you, I'll know about it."
Alex runs his hands through his hair in a frustrated notion.
Alex: "I don't want to risk it by keeping him around."
Josh pats Alex's shoulder before beginning to walk off.
Josh: "Don't sweat it! I'll go talk to him right now and make sure everything is fine. If I find out he has any animosity towards you, you'll be the first to know!"
Alex lets out a loud sigh and nods.
Alex: "Fine…"
Confessional Booth: Josh.
Josh: "The way that things are going right now, we have the numbers. There's the core alliance of Krystal, Alex , and I, and then there's Doug, Sam, and Hector who are being stringed along. That six could go all the way , and shaking things up now could ruin everything, which is why I have to mend things between Doug and Alex. They're two of my closest friends out here, and I need to keep both of them safe. There's no point in running around like a bunch of chickens with our heads cut off, we have to play it smart."
The Woods: Sam.
After the confessional fuzzes out, Sam is shown walking angrily through the woods, muttering about how she should've been chosen to participate in the challenge as a hunter. She angrily sits down on a log, crossing her arms and legs when she does so.
Sam: "This stinks!"
The camera zooms in on a crevasse in the log to reveal that Kimi is inside. Without warning, her arm makes it's way out of the log and shoots Sam in the face three times. Sam topples over on the ground, groaning in pain as the Screaming Gopher symbol appears at the top of the screen. The number four next to their name decreases to three.
Kimi: "YES!"
The Woods: Josh and Doug.
Doug is sitting on a tree stump, eating black berries off the bush next to him, when Josh approaches him.
Josh: "What's going on with you and Alex?"
Doug forces a smile on his face and shakes his head.
Doug: "Nothing? Why?"
Josh smiles and shakes his head.
Josh: "It's nothing, he's just paranoid after something you said to him."
Doug laughs.
Doug: " All I told him was that we shouldn't work together but I didn't mean anything by it! I just thought it'd be easier if we split up…Why, what did he tell you?"
Josh laughs and shakes his head.
Josh: "I told you he's just paranoid."
Doug gives him a look of disbelief and stands up.
Doug: " Is he trying to make a move against me?"
Josh's smile fades and he gives a large gulp.
Josh: "No, he's just worried. There's nothing else to it."
Josh forces a grim smile on his face in an attempt to hide the truth.
Doug: "Would you tell me if he was?"
Josh: "Yes."
Beads of sweat form on Josh's forehead when he says this, he is visibly nervous. Doug curls his bottom lip and nods.
Doug: "Huh…"
Doug raises both his eyebrows in annoyance and begins to walk away.
Josh: "Doug wait! Doug!"
Josh yells after him, but Doug ignores him and continues walking. Josh sighs heavily and wipes the sweat off of his forehead.
Confessional Booth: Josh.
Josh: "So I originally went to Doug to try and get reassurance that he wasn't gunning for Alex, but in the end I only made things worst. If he wasn't campaigning against him before, he sure as hell is now…"
Josh sighs loudly and puts his face in his hands.
Josh: "I think I really messed up on this one."
The Woods: Haley and Henry.
Haley and Henry are still running from their pursuers , until a thunder is once again heard over head and Haley comes to a sudden halt. Henry turns around frantically and throws his arms in the air.
Henry: "What're you doing!? We have to go, our hunters could be right behind us!"
Haley nods and begins to cry.
Haley: "I know, just give me a second."
Haley begins walking around in circles and wiping tears from her eyes.
Henry: "Haley…"
Henry opens up his arms and walks towards her. When she see's this, she immediately falls into them in tears.
Haley: "I'm so embarrassed."
Henry looks at her with pity and kisses her forehead gently.
Henry: "Why babe, what's going on?"
Haley: "I'm absolutely terrified of lightening."
Haley laughs rhetorically.
Haley: "It's really embarrassing and I didn't want you to see this side of me."
Haley continues to cry into Henry's chest as he shakes his head at what she just said.
Henry: "You never have to be afraid of showing me a different side to you."
Henry lifts up her face, and wipes her tears away with his thumbs.
Henry: "When you're in a relationship with someone, they're supposed to accept your vulnerabilities and flaws. It's what strengthens your bond with them, but you have to open up to me and trust that I'm going to be there to catch you when you fall."
Haley takes a large gulp and nods.
Henry: "I'm always going to protect you Haley….I'll never let anything or anyone hurt you."
Henry presses Haley's face to his chest in a protective manner. She smiles up at him through her tears.
Haley: "Thank you Henry…"
This touching moment is ruined when Haley and Henry begin to scream in agony as they are pelted with paintballs by a snickering Steven and Jonathon.
Confessional Booth: Haley.
A paint covered Haley is seen sitting in the confessional booth with a grin that spreads from ear to ear.
Haley: "What Henry said to me today was really sweet. He's constantly helping me face my fears and challenges me in ways that help me grow as a person. I can't think of anybody better to share this amazing experience with!"
Confessional Booth: Henry.
Henry: "I think that Haley and I took our relationship a step further today. I've seen a side to her that I've never seen before and I accepted that part of her with ease.
Henry smiles happily and rubs the back of his head nervously, his cheeks turning red in the process.
Henry: "I think I really like this girl…"
The Woods: Vittoria.
Vittoria is seen walking very cautiously towards her gun, which is laying in the middle of the forest. It looks untouched and she does not see anyone around to attack her. Without warning, she darts forward and leaps towards her stolen weapon.
Vittoria: "Yes! Got it!"
Vittoria laughs cockily and picks up the paintball gun. As soon as she retrieves it, however, a trap is set into motion and a net sprawls up from under the dirt and raises Vittoria into the air. She begins to scream at first before realizing that this is the work of Hector, angering her further.
Vittoria: "Oh c'mon! You've got to be kidding me!"
Hector leaps down from a nearby tree and begins to laugh hysterically.
Hector: "Take that, you stupid Italian!"
Hector continues to laugh and than begins to make strange warrior like cries. He wobbles his legs back and forth and moves his tongue in every which direction, horrendous sounds emitting from his mouth. Vittoria looks at him with a blank expression before pointing the gun towards him, through the net. She shoots at him but he dodges in a matrix like fashion before landing safely on the solid ground.
Hector: "So you want to dance?"
Vittoria raises her brow at him.
Vittoria: "What?"
Hector pulls out a knife from seemingly no where and cuts the net down. Vittoria hit's the ground hardly and protests in pain.
Vittoria: "Ow!"
Hector: "Let's dance!"
Vittoria stares at him for a second before speaking.
Vittoria: "You're really weird…"
Hector gasps loudly.
Hector: "Did you just speak English!?"
Vittoria's eyes widen when she realizes what she's just done.
Vittoria: "Uh…I learn little English…yea!"
An awkward moment is shared between the two. She laughs nervously and he simply stares at her. Vittoria's expression changes to anger as she stands up and begins to shoot at him. Hector continues to dodge before prancing off once again, followed closely by Vittoria.
Outside of the Woods.
Haley and Henry are sitting on a log. The storm has taken a brief hiatus from it's relentless behavior. They are talking and laughing while small rain drops slowly fall onto them. The camera than pans over to Doug, who is walking very quickly through the woods and towards the two.
Confessional Booth: Doug.
Doug: "For days now I've been considering going after Alex. It's a move I've been wanting to make this entire game. Originally I was going to wait until Josh and I were closer and there were less people in the game, but I don't think that's an option anymore. What Josh told me was enough to let me know that it's coming down to the wire and I need to cut him loose before he does the same to me.
Outside of the Woods.
Haley and Henry stop talking to each other and look up to see Doug, who has an urgency to him.
Doug: "Who are you guys thinking for the vote tonight?"
Haley and Henry look at each other, than look back at Doug precariously.
The Woods: Sarah.
Sarah is walking leisurely through the woods, not even worried in the slightest that she will be shot at, when Krystal jumps out from a nearby bush and scares the young girl. Sarah lets out a high pitched squeal and jumps back a bit.
Krystal: "Shh! Be quiet! I need to talk to you!"
Krystal reaches her arm around her sister's head and clasps her mouth shut. Sarah's yells are muffled out and slowly fade away.
Krystal: "Do you think you can be quiet if I let go?"
Sarah nods and than Krystal removes her hand from in front of Sarah's face.
Sarah: "You scared the crap out of me! I thought you were Sharkeisha, coming to finish me off!"
Krystal rolls her eyes.
Sarah: "What did you want to talk about?"
Krystal: "I need to talk to you about how things are going over on your side."
While Krystal is saying this, the camera pans over to Jonathon and Steven who are walking alongside a trail. The two are chattering and laughing when they notice Sarah and Krystal talking.
Jonathon: "Is that…?"
The two come to a sudden halt.
Steven: "Follow me!"
Steven grabs Jonathon's wrist and the two quietly make their way to a nearby bush.
Sarah: "Things are fine, I think I finally redeemed myself in yesterday's challenge!"
Krystal: "Good! Do you think you can survive to the merge?"
Sarah nods happily at her sister.
Sarah: "You?"
Krystal nods.
Krystal: "Yea, I'm in a really good spot right now!"
Krystal looks around as if someone is watching the two before looking back at Sarah.
Krystal: "You should get out of here before anyone see's us talking!"
Sarah nods once again.
Sarah: "Okay! I love you!"
Krystal hugs Sarah.
Krystal: "I love you too, now go!"
Krystal shoos Sarah away. From the bush, Steven and Jonathon are looking at each in shock. They can't believe what they've just heard.
Jonathon: "Are they working together?"
Steven shrugs and than signals for Jonathon to look back up at Krystal with him. When they do, Krystal is revealed to slowly be raising her gun from behind her back and aiming it at Krystal. Jonathon gasps loudly when he see's this.
Jonathon: "Oh my god, quick! We have to help her!"
Jonathon attempts to leave the bush but is held back by Steven.
Steven: "No, don't! Just wait…"
A climatic montage is shown shown between two different scenes: Vittoria's hunt for Hector and Krystal's decision on wheather to shoot at her own sister out or not. Krystal is seen aiming the gun hesitantly at Sarah, shaking in the process. Hector is than seen prancing away from Vittoria who is shooting rapidly and relentlessly as if she is in a scarface movie. Vittoria stops to shoot endless paintballs Hector's way hitting him…Once…Twice…and….
Chris: "Congratulations Killer Bass, you've once again won the challenge!"
Chris's voice can be heard over the camp itercome , much to Vittoria's delight who is jumping up and down in fits of cheering. Krystal is than once again shown, lowering her gun sadly and sighing loudly.
Confessional Booth: Krystal.
Krystal: "Coming out here I thought it'd be way easier than it is to separate myself from Sarah. All my life I've wanted to make myself heard on my own pondium, but now that the time has come for me to do so, it's a lot harder than I expected…I've always protected Sarah…"
Krystal shurgs.
Krystal: "I can't just turn my back on her now."
The Bushes: Steven and Jonathon.
Steven and Jonathon looks at each other, both wide eyed.
Steven: "You still think Nourhan is the one to watch out for?"
Confessional Booth: Jonathon.
Jonathon: "Up until now I've been so dead set on Nourhan that I think I've missed the real threat that's been in front of me all along. Sarah has connections on the other side, and if we merge with her in the game….We would all be screwed."
The Beach.
Alex is sitting beside Krystal on the sand, both of their feet rest in the water. They close their eyes and lift their heads to the sky, the rain finally ceasing to downpour. The sun has finally brocken through the clouds and shines down on them for the first time that day. Everything about this moment gives a feeling of ease and relaxtion…Everything about this moment is a facade, because even though the sun now shines, busy minds are still at work.
Alex: "So, I think our vote tonight goes without saying."
Krystal nods at him.
Krystal: "Doug."
Alex nods to confirm this.
Alex: "You tell Sam and I'll tell Hector."
Krystal bites her bottom lip as she falls into deep thought.
Krystal: "If Josh isn't in with us, it'll be a tie…..Are you sure he's all for this plan?"
Before Alex can answer Krystal's question, Josh can be heard screaming from behind them.
Josh: "Doug, wait! Don't!"
The two friends turn around to see Doug pacing quickly towards them, followed by Josh. Alex immediately stands to face Doug.
Doug: "Did you really think you could throw my name around and I wouldn't hear about it!?"
Alex looks at him angrily and than looks at Josh.
Alex: "What did you tell him!?"
Josh looks speechless and unsure of what to say.
Doug: "He told me everything, so when you're the one walking down the dock of shame tonight, you'll have him to thank for being the one to give me the heads up!"
Alex laughs and rolls his eyes.
Alex: "Is that a threat?"
Doug: "No, it's a promise?"
Alex laughs again and begins posturing at Doug.
Alex: "I'm not afraid of you Doug! You're an insecure little bitch who's volatile attitude has resulted in you making no friends on this island! Who's going to back you up!? Nobody!"
Doug looks at him with pure hatred when he says this.
Alex: "So I think it's time you shut the f**k up!"
Krystal's eyes widen as she witnesses the fight taking place in front of her.
Doug: "And I think it's time you get the hell off my island! People may not like me here, but at least I have friends outside of this game! Once this is all said and done, who's going to be your friend, Alex? Is Krystal going to let you cry all over her every time you can't throw a dodge ball in gym class?"
Doug laughs menacingly.
Doug: "I'm very aware of my standing in this game, you're the one that needs to wake up!"
Alex stands there and shakes his head.
Alex: "That's not true."
Doug smiles and shakes his head.
Doug: "Yes, it is! The best friend you've made out here is being taken by someone else!"
Doug signals towards a still speechless Josh.
Doug: "You've been there for him since the beginning and after everything you've done for him, you're still so repulsive that he can't stand being by your side!"
Tears begin to form in Alex's eyes when Doug says this.
Doug: "So instead of doing the rational thing and talking to him about it, you start a pissing match with me and try to get me voted out so Josh will have no one else to be friends with but you!"
Alex stands there silently, on the verge of crying when Doug begins to walk away.
Doug: "You're not as secure as you thought you were. You better watch your back tonight."
Confessional Booth: Doug.
Doug: "My goal in antagonizing Alex after the challenge today was to cause a rift between him and Josh. If I want the vote to go my way tonight , my best shot is to separate those two."
Doug smiles arrogantly.
Doug: "And I think my plan is working…"
The Beach.
As soon as Doug leaves, Josh begins to speak.
Josh: "Alex, I didn_"
Alex interupts him before he can finish.
Alex: "Why didn't you stick up for me!?"
Josh: "I_"
Alex: "Just go away, both of you…"
Alex plops back down on the sand.
Alex: "I want to be alone…"
Confessional Booth: Alex.
Alex is shown crying in the confessional booth, wiping at his face vigorously.
Alex: "I'm just really upset right now…"
Alex buries his face in his hands. When he re lifts it, he begins wiping at his eyes once again.
Alex: "I'm just trying to think where I went wrong and…."
Alex pauses for a second and sighs heavily before continuing.
Alex: "I'm really not ready to go…"
The Beach.
A close up of Alex is shown sitting alone on the beach, wiping the tears from his face.
The Cabins.
As the sun begins to set, and the campfire ceremony is rapidly approaching, Doug joins Josh in the cabins.
Doug: "So, Can I count on you tonight?"
Josh stays silent for a second before sitting down on his bed.
Josh: "I just think it's in all of our best interests if we moved past our differences and worked together…I don't see why we can't vote Haley out tonight."
Doug shakes his head and rolls his eyes.
Doug: "We're literally five minutes away from the campfire ceremony and you're telling me you want to change the vote?"
Josh closes his eyes and takes a deep breath in an effort to gather his thoughts.
Confessional Booth: Doug.
Doug: "I thought that Josh was dead set on voting Alex out after their little tiff, but something in him just doesn't want to do it. The campfire ceremony is right around the corner, and I know I'm on the chopping block tonight , so Josh's indecisiveness defiantly has me worried…If he doesn't make up his mind soon , it could be me going home tonight.
Doug laughs in disbelief and rubs his forehead stressfully.
Doug: "And I've worked way too hard to go home now."
The Cabins.
Josh is still sitting on the bed in silence, lost in deep thought.
Josh: "What if the tie doesn't go our way?"
Doug: "I'm way more athletic than Alex is. Whatever challenge they throw at us, the tie's going to be in my favor
Josh cups his hands over his mouth and than begins to rub them together.
Doug: "Josh, Can I count on you or am I going to be riding the boat of losers within the hour?"
Josh rubs his eyes wearily before looking back at Doug. Josh than, in an unexpected turn of events, outstretches his arm towards Doug.
Josh: "Yea…You can count on me."
Doug smiles victoriously before shaking Josh's hand.
Confessional Booth: Josh.
Josh: "This morning it seemed like everything was running smoothly. I had Doug, Krystal had Sam, and Alex had Hector, but now….Now everything has fallen apart in what feels like a matter of seconds. The way I see it is that I'm at a cross roads. I can either keep Alex, or keep Doug. On one hand I've been with Alex and Krystal since the beginning of this game, but on the other I can't help but feel like I might benefit more by going with Doug. Alex's distrust towards me speaks volumes, and I don't know if I want to stick with someone who doesn't trust me. No matter what happens tonight, the move I make will decide the future of everyone on this team…."
Josh buries his head in his hands, smiles and groans loudly.
Josh: "We're literally leaving for the ceremony right now, and I have no idea what I'm going to do!"
The Campfire Ceremony.
When Josh's confessional comes to an end, a close up of the burning fire is shown. Dramatic music is playing as the camera pans over to Chris walking up to the eight remaining Gophers with a tray of seven marshmallows.
Chris: "Hello, Gophers! It seems as though you were all too busy stirring the pot to even attempt the challenge today…In fact, none of you managed to score a single point for your team!"
Everyone looks at one another anxiously, in anticipation for the reveal of the vote.
Chris: "Would anyone care to explain what happened today?"
Alex is shown looking sadly into the campfire, his chin resting on his palm.
Doug: "I think tonight's elimination should explain it all.."
Doug grins evilly in Alex's direction. Chris laughs at this gesture.
Chris: "How dramatic…I love it! Since you're all so anxious tonight, I'll get right to it! The first marshmallow goes to…"
The background music becomes more intense as everyone looks from one another nervously.
Chris: "Josh!"
Josh's face doesn't light up when his safety is declared, for he knows what he's just done…
Chris: "Haley and Henry, you're also safe!"
Haley and Henry smile happily at each other when they receive their marshmallows. Both are incredibly confident that they are in the majority tonight.
Chris: "The next marshmallows go to….Sam….Hector….and…..Krystal!"
The trio receives their marshmallows , and at first all of them are happy but Krystal's smile quickly fades when she looks down at a worried Alex.
Chris: "This campers, is the final marshmallow!"
Doug is still smiling cockily and Alex is still looking down sadly.
Chris: "The final marshmallow goes to…"
Doug looks extremely comfortable at what is about to happen while Alex's face is a dead give a way that he is very worried about the name Chris is about to call. Haley and Henry look incredibly comfortable without a worry in the world. Josh is, however, showing more emotion than everyone. He looks unsure about the decision he has made. When Chris announces the receiver of the final marshmallow, all sense of comfort and certainty flees every single person at the ceremony.
Chris: "Alex!"
As soon as his name is called, Alex lets out a loud sigh of relief and begins thanking Josh. Josh nods humbly in return. Henry's jaw has dropped to the ground while his girlfriend has gasped loudly, covering her mouth in shock at what had just happened. Doug raises his eye brows in disapproval and looks at Josh, who avoids eye contact by looking over to his right.
Doug: "Unbelievable."
Without another word , Doug makes his way down the dock of shame. While Josh watches him leave, he runs his hands through his hair in a stressful notion.
Haley: "Who voted for him?"
Haley turns to look at the other five, none of them are brave enough to look her in the eyes. Haley looks away after a few seconds, her eyes filling with tears.
Henry: "What just happened…?"
Chris is the only one smiling at this dramatic unfolding of events.
Chris: "Well campers, based on your reactions, nobody was expecting that!"
A tear stricken Haley turns to Henry and whispers to him.
Haley: "That's it…It's over."
Henry shakes his head and rubs his entire face with his palms.
Chris: "Goodnight campers. Rest up and I'll see you in tomorrow's challenge!"
Confessional Booth: Henry.
Henry: "I have no idea what happened tonight…I think more than anyone, Haley and I were blindsided…"
Henry sighs stressfully and rests his face in his palms.
Henry: "All I know is that I promised Haley I'd protect her….and no matter what it takes, I'm going to keep that promise!"
To Be Continued…
