Episode 11: Jamaica Me Sweat
"Previously, on Total Drama!" Chris opened, the recap starting on the series' world map as the plane icon 'bounced' towards Canada's eastern coast. "Newfoundland showed us a whale of a time," he said over a shot of a killer whale swallowing the cushion, "as the cast was stranded in the open ocean." The contestants were shown getting forcibly pushed out of the jet, then shown lining up in their respective team boats. "They raced to shore and had some fun getting there." He chuckled over shots of the race beginning, and a few clips from the musical number.
"Topher realized that a statue of him was created out of rocks," the host continued over a shot of the statue shining in front of the sun, "and this pleased Mini-Me greatly." Topher was posing next to the statue.
"In the end, Team Victory and Power tied for first," Chris added as the clips flashed to Duncan and Eva sitting back-to-back kissing cod, "and Team Blizzard was spared because it was a reward challenge of the lobster kind." The losing team was shown running into the lobster shack after the final challenge had ended, then an earlier clip was shown of Izzy excitedly holding up a lobster in a trap. "Fiber!" he added with a chuckle as Owen was shown licking the lobster.
"Thirteen players are still fighting for a million clams," Chris said as the recap ended and the scene flashed to him leaning up against Chef in the plane's cockpit. "Who's gonna leave the fold? And who's reggae gold? Find out now," he spread his arms wide and accidentally smacked Chef upside the head, knocking his pilot's hat off. "On Total! Drama! Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!" A flock of geese flew by under the plane in the final zoomed-out shot.
XXXXX
The episode opened on a shot of the Total Drama Jumbo Jet flying through a heavy rainstorm, the camera lingering for a few seconds before cutting to Teams Power and Victory in first class.
\
The camera panned across the cabin; starting with Eva, Izzy, Noah, and Owen, and ending on Sadie and Ezekiel, all with cucumbers on their faces.
"Winning first class rules," Ezekiel said with a grin.
"This almost makes kissing a cod worth it," Eva said.
"I had to translate words in a confusing language, but I won't have to do that again," Noah added.
Confessional: Sadie
"Us teaming up with Team Power was a good move, and even if Team Blizzard didn't suffer elimination, that doesn't mean we're disbanding it," Sadie said. "At least until the merge hits," she added after a brief moment of thinking."
Confessional: Topher
"I caught a glimpse of Team Power and Team Victory enjoying first class together. Them being chummy means my team is in danger," Topher realized. "As long as Team Blizzard doesn't lose, the other teams won't eliminate us and their partnership will fall apart."
Confessionals End
The camera was focused on Owen. The big guy used his tongue to grab the cucumber slices in his eyes and chew them in his mouth. He burped afterwards, much to Noah's disgust. "Ugh, it's a facial, not a fruit plate," the schemer noted.
Owen laughed for a bit. "Noah, don't you see? It's both."
Confessional: Noah
"Owen's a good friend, even if he's rarely self-aware of what he's doing," Noah confessed. "He can also be gross, but compare him to my sixth brother and he's more tolerable."
Confessional Ends
The scene flashed to economy class, where the members of Team Blizzard sat in silence broken only by the steady dripping coming from the roof.
"Economy can kiss my aching butt," Heather grumbled as the members of the team were sitting down, Mal nowhere to be seen. "I bet they're in there right now making each other feel united."
"Does anyone know where Mike went?" Cody asked. "I haven't seen him all morning."
"He must be using the bathroom or something," Topher answered.
"If he is, then he's taking too long," Cody rolled his eyes.
\
The footage returned to Owen and Noah still on the recliner chairs. "I've made up my mind. I'm gonna ask Izzy once and for all if she'd want to be my girlfriend," Owen whispered over to Noah.
"Finally," Noah said.
"I like her, not life-like her, but I think she's totally amazing," Owen giggled. "Even if she can be-"
"Nutty? As a ten ton bag of pecans smothered in peanut butter encased in a cashew the size of China?" Noah summarized the wild child.
The scene panned out to show Eva sleeping and Izzy gnawing on her oxygen mask with rope tying her leg upside down. "Tastes like shoe polish." Izzy laughed and gnawed on her mask once again.
"Aw, she's happy," Owen cooed as he took one of Noah's cucumber slices and ate it. The camera moved up to the vents to reveal that Mal was eavesdropping on the first class.
Confessional: Mal
"So it seems to me that tubby is infuriated with that freaky girl," Mal sinisterly analyzed. "I could let them develop a relationship, or I could do the opposite. Definitely the opposite!"
Confessional Ends
The footage returned to Duncan and Sky sitting at the mini-bar away from everybody else.
"You want to know more about Mal, right?" Duncan asked the gymnast.
"Of course I do," Sky nodded. "You're one of my closest friends, so I can trust what you're going to say."
"Like I said to you in Paris, Mal enjoyed causing mayhem. Heck, the reason he was even in juvie was because he burned down a high school," Duncan said. "Some students were inside that building!"
"That is so cruel!" Sky said in shock. "What was he even thinking?"
"Thanks to Mal, Mike got his life taken away for a long time," Duncan said lowly. "Mal is not troublemaking like me or Mike's other personalities. He's pure evil. Mal resorted to violence to get his way and he's purely sadistic whenever he deals with people. I made sure to steer clear of him so he wouldn't cross paths with me."
"So Sadie and Ezekiel's things?" Sky asked. "Do you think Mal had something to do with them?"
"Mal broke them to torture them," Duncan said simply.
"Poor Mike," Sky looked down sadly. "He's been dealing with a personality that got him into so much turmoil."
"Mike probably forgot about Mal, which could explain why Mike never mentioned him to us once," Duncan guessed. "Either way, we have to get him off the plane! Not just for our sake, but for Mike's too."
"You're right," Sky agreed. "Mike will lose the game, but it's all about protecting lives here."
"Thanks for listening to me about Mal," Duncan said. "I thought no one would ever do so."
"No biggie. You can be nice sometimes, you know that, right?" Sky nudged Duncan's shoulder affectionately.
Confessional: Duncan
"I'm not nice, okay? I don't want Mal to put anyone in danger," Duncan fiercely reminded the viewers. "Got that?"
Confessional Ends
The scene cut to the world map as the plane icon flew down the North American Coast from Newfoundland to the Caribbean, then cut again to a head-on shot of the actual jet. It was still raining, however one of the engines on the left wing suddenly sputtered and let out a burst of smoke. The plane tilted and shook, and the camera moved to the cockpit.
"Umm, are we out of gas?" Chris asked Chef.
"Yes," Chef answered, "'cause you spent all our gas money."
Chris picked up the transmitter for the intercom, cleared his throat, and said "Attention, passengers!" One of the speakers was shown, followed by all three teams looking up to pay attention. "AAAAAAAAHAHAHAAAAA!" Chris screamed, the shot cutting outside to show the plane out of the rain but in a nosedive and trailing smoke. The scream continued over shaking shots of the teams panicking, first in economy and then in first class.
"We're all gonna die!" Owen exclaimed in panic before he went tumbling.
"Tell my dad I love him!" Ezekiel shouted.
Owen tumbled over to the emergency exit door and unintentionally got it open, causing the wind to come sucking into the plane. In an attempt to not fly away, Owen hung on to the door with a tight grip.
"Somebody help me!" the funniest guy around wailed, and was soon greeted by Mal sliding out of a yellow couch near the door. "Mike? Don't know why you're here, but you have to help me!!"
"Help you? Now why would I ever do that?" Mal smirked sadistically.
"I'm about to die!" Owen panicked as his grip started to loosen."
Mal let his hair cover his eye and spoke in his real voice. "You, your team, and Team Victory need to pay for your coop against my team. Someone needs to be made an example of after all." Mal lifted his arm and flicked Owen on the forehead, distracting the big guy enough to let go of the plane.
Owen screamed as the scene cut outside to a picturesque sandy beach. Owen landed on the ground with a hard thud.
"I'm okay?" he asked before laughing in victory. "I'm okay!" He was interrupted by the plane dropping onto the shore, kicking up a cloud of sand and crushing him.
Confessional: Mal
"Technically all I did was flick Owen on the head, I didn't directly cause his injury." Mal smirked to himself before snickering evilly, "It's just too easy."

\
The footage skipped forward, showing the contestants, host, and pilot gathered on the beach with an inflatable slide leading out of the rear door of the plane.
"Two airports on an island the size of a postage stamp," Chris said, "and he misses both." He gave Chef an annoyed look. "But somehow, it's my fault."
"You blew our money for the season on Chris work!" Chef shot back.
"I hate to cut you guys off, but Owen needs help!" Topher cried as the camera cut to him frantically trying to pull Owen out from under the plane.
Confessional: Izzy
"I know someone pushed Owen out of the plane, but I can't pinpoint who it could be," Izzy claimed.
Confessional Ends
The footage returned to a shot of an ambulance door slamming before the vehicle drove off. "Owen is gonna be fine," Chris said with a jovial tone. "Thanks to travel insurance, help is on the way, in six to thirty-eight hours."
"What about the rest of us?" Ella asked.
"Well, we're out of gas, plane's busted, aaand we're broke." Chris shrugged, then grinned again. "But, the show must go on! We can't waste any of this footage. Think of the hits we'll get on ClipTube!"
"Where are we?" Eva asked with a look around.
"Jamaica, mon!" Chris answered in an attempted Jamaican accent. "We were supposed to land in Ochos Rios, but, since somebody forgot how to fly," he shot a pointed look at Chef who just glared back, "we'll have to do the challenges here instead. And fast," he added as the camera moved back to him, "before whoever owns this dump shows up and asks for a location fee."
"Didn't you guys budget for the whole season?" Noah asked.
"Some things cost more than expected," Chris explained defensively. "Airplane-ready hot tubs don't grow on trees, y'know."
"You must have an emergency fund?" Heather asked.
"Spent it on our last fuel-up," Chris told her.
"Which went so well," Noah said dryly.
"Grab your board shorts and meet me at the waterfall," Chris told the group as he and Chef walked off.
\
The scene flashed to an infirmary which looked surprisingly well-stocked. Owen, who had bandages wrapped around his head, was lying on a hospital bed in a deep sleep before waking up in a jiffy, though he was looking rather perplexed and uncharacteristically serious.
"I believe I have devised a plan for proper medical service building and a way to cure sickness all over the world." The big boy was talking oddly and not behaving as himself.
\
The camera flashed to a series of waterfalls flowing out from the side of a cliff and into a rocky lagoon far below. The host and swimsuit-wearing contestants could just be made out standing at the top of it, and Noah could be heard laughing at something.
"Pretty blouse," Noah taunted before the camera cut to a close-up of the host.
"It's a dashiki, mon," Chris corrected, motioning to the green, black, and red garment; a large rasta cap completed his appropriated attempt at a stereotypical Jamaican outfit.
"A woman's dashiki," Ezekiel told the host.
"What?!" Chris said in shock.
"Can we get to the challenge?" Sadie asked in annoyance, the shot cutting to Team Victory in their swimsuits.
"I like to call our first challenge," Chris said as the shot pulled back to show the full cast, "'The Treasure Hunt of Death'! We were supposed to do this at Dunn's River Falls, but, this far more dangerous waterfall will have to do!"
"Sooo...it's another water challenge?" Duncan asked.
"'Fraid so," Chris told him. "Wanna say a few prayers?"
"No. I'm just wondering how original you are," Duncan replied.
"Your challenge begins with a dive off beautiful 'Wherever-we-are Falls'," Chris explained in a long-distance shot of the waterfall, "into the lagoon far below."
"Which is full of what? Sharks?" Noah asked.
"Nope!" Chris answered with a smile, the contestants all sighing in relief off-screen. "Electric eels and sharks!" the host corrected.
"Players must tag-team dive into the infested waters for as long as you can hold your breath," he explained as the camera cut to the surface of the lagoon while a shark fin moved across it, "to search the lagoon floor for pirate treasure!" The camera cut into the water, showing a shark and several eels swimming around; it panned down to the bottom, where something golden laid in the open maw of a ferocious-looking skeleton.
"Aka, the gold chains Chef always wears on karaoke night," Chris clarified as the shot cut back to him. "First team to bring me Chef's treasure wins a major advantage in the next challenge. So, good luck! Especially to Team Power. With Owen out of commish, you'll have to work extra hard to make up for his absence."
"No problem," Noah smirked as the shot cut to Team Power. "Eva, it's your time to shine. You can do all the dives."
"I am the most suitable for it," Eva said. "Good plan you have there."
Confessional: Eva
"If you're a bodybuilder like me, would you want anybody else diving for your team?" Eva explained. "Izzy's unpredictable, and Noah's a wimp."
Confessional Ends
"Let's do this!" Eva said determinedly as the scene cut to her, Cody, and Ezekiel lined up at the top of the cliff.
"I've got it in the bag!" Cody said confidently.
"Wish me luck," Ezekiel told his team.
"Ready, steady, freddy," Chris said behind them as they prepared to jump, "go!" At his hand signal, the three dived off.
Eva did a head-first dive without screaming.
Ezekiel was hollering as he fell bottom-first.
Cody seemed to have executed a perfect swan dive, but gasped at the last second. The camera panned down to show a shark circling the area he was about to land in.
"Alright, Cody. Show that shark you're the boss!" Topher called out encouragingly from the top of the cliff.
The camera cut underwater, showing Cody getting punched by the shark; Ezekiel sinking in the background; and Eva holding her breath and trying to look around in the foreground. With a curious look on her face, she dove down and out of sight.
Confessional: Eva
"I'm not the best when it comes to seeing underwater," Eva admitted. "H2O can blind my vision sometimes."
Confessional Ends
Cody crawled back onto shore before looking back over his shoulder at Eva, who had just surfaced.
"Why did I get an electric eel?" The camera cut in close to Eva holding an electric eel before getting shocked.
Ezekiel surfaced back afterwards. "I didn't see any chains, but I did see some eels," he said. "The electrical ones."
The scene cut to the top of the cliff as Cody reached it and tagged Heather on her back, but he tagged too hard, causing Heather to fall off the cliff and belly flop into the water.
"This is my second try!" Eva told her team as she ran up to them on the cliff, then passed them by. She dived into the lagoon, and almost immediately surfaced holding a tire. "A tire?!" the female bully sputtered. "Why isn't it chains?"
Heather tagged Topher and the Chris wannabe launched himself into a cannonball; the shot pulled back to show the whole cliff as Topher's splash reached all the way to the top. "Watch it, Chestnut!" Heather scolded as a wave washed over her, Mal, and Ella, depositing an eel on the villain's head.
Ella reached up to grab the eel and both got shocked the moment she laid hands on it.
The focus moved to Sadie as Ezekiel ran up. "It's your turn," Ezekiel said as he tagged his teammate. "Good luck!"
"I'm going to need it!" Sadie replied before jumping off the cliff and sinking into the lagoon.
The camera lingered there, zooming out just a little as Eva dived in again nearby. She surfaced almost immediately holding a large and broken grandfather clock over her head. "Finally! I got i-" she looked up as the clock donged. "Seriously?"
The camera cut to the blazing sun before panning down Ella, who was inspecting her arm. "I think I'm starting to burn up."
Mal walked up behind her and slapped her on the shoulder, causing her to wince.
"It's my turn," Ella said as she rubbed her tender shoulder. The footage cut to her diving into the water, then looking around within the lagoon. A shark was seen swimming close towards her; she quickly looked around, then saw it coming straight at her. She swam away as fast as he could, narrowly dodging a bite and losing the shark behind some large rocks. She looked around and spotted the gold chains lying in the skeletal jaw nearby, and quickly swam towards them.
The scene moved back to the water's surface as Ella emerged holding out the gold chain and shouting "I found the gold!", causing her team to cheer. Ella's happiness went away when she got shocked by the eels.
The shot cut to the top of the cliff where Izzy was frowning. She dashed away from the cliff's edge and ran over to Eva, who had just added a couch to the pile of useless objects she'd pulled out of the water, then tagged the jock and said "Tag! I'm it!"
Izzy ran past Team Victory and Team Blizzard before jumping off the cliff and executing a cannonball into the water, preventing the eels from electrocuting Ella more as a splash from Izzy sent them away.
Ella was passed out while Izzy carried her out of the water in her hands, the fairytale princess jolting once in a while thanks to the eels.
"She's got the chains!" Noah pointed out the chains around Izzy's neck.
Heather ran to the wild child's direction and snagged the chains away. "Thanks for the delivery!" the queen bee taunted Izzy.
"Hey, those chains are mine!" Izzy snapped back, but once Ella jolted again, she focused her attention back on carrying her.
The camera cut to the cliff where Heather ran over to Chris and handed him the chains. "Pirate booty, check," Heather said.
"Team Blizzard wins round one!" Chris announced to the camera.
"Yes!" Mal grinned.
"Will Owen recover? Will Chef fix the plane so we can leave here while I'm still young?" Chris narrated.
"I don't know. Did we land in the seventies?" Noah joked. Chris pushed the high IQ off the cliff and smiled at his scream of terror.
"Find out after the break right here," Chris said as he turned back and pointed the camera after a splash was heard.. "On Total! Drama!" he switched to a Jamaican accent "World Tour!" He turned to the side. "Hey, where's my musical accompaniment?"
A boombox was thrown on screen and hit him on the head and knocked him out. The camera cut to Chef giving the camera a smug look.
\
(Commercial Break)
\
The episode resumed in the infirmary where a doctor was wheeling Ella on a stretcher. Ella had woken up, though she was still jittering. "Hello there," Ella greeted Owen.
"Are you feeling okay, Ella?" Izzy asked. She was already inside the infirmary watching Owen write equations on the wall.
"I will just have to be in a coma in order to heal," Ella said before jittering from the electricity. "What about Owen? How is he feeling?"
"He's gonna be fine," Izzy assured her. "The sand broke his fall. And he broke the plane's fall. And when the plane hit his head, the doctor said it fixed a blockage in his brain." Owen was shown finishing up with his writing. "Owen's like Einstein now."
"Synthesis equals teleportation. This'll render aeronautics obsolete!" Owen proudly said in his new vocabulary.
"What did he just say?" Ella asked, confused.
"Beats me," Izzy shrugged.
The camera cut to the ceiling getting a hole cut in by a chainsaw. The piece of wood was removed and a string of rope was dropped in. An army man came down using the rope while two others entered through the door.
"What is the Army doing here?" Ella said in surprise.
The man that slid down on the rope grabbed Owen's arm. "Say goodbye, Owen. We're air lifting you home for special treatment."
"Owen's leaving the competition?" Izzy gasped sadly. "To be fair, you are injured, but I never wanted you to leave this way."
"These gentlemen are simply going to execute tests on me. We will meet again," Owen said before he was taken away from the infirmary by the leader going up the roof. "Adieu."
The other two men departed the building, leaving Izzy and Ella alone. The shot lingered on Izzy's devastated face as she sat down and said "Goodbye, Owen."
\
The scene flashed to most of the cast lined up in their teams on the shore of the lagoon, standing before Chris and Chef; the latter wearing a helmet and carrying a longboard.
"Team Blizzard," Chris announced, "as winners of the first challenge, you've also won this advantage for challenge number two." He motioned to Chef, who grinned and pointed to his helmet.
The team sent fierce expressions at the host. "Helmets? Great, now what?" Heather wondered.
"Oh, just a little something I call...the 'Bobsled of Death'!" Chris declared. "Ta-da!" Team Blizzard turned around and gasped.
Behind them was a long, looping, and incredibly shoddy-looking wooden track. A large poster of the host's face had been put up inside a loop-the-loop, and a Jamaican flag was revealed to have been hung from the scaffolding holding up a hill.
"What? No way!" Eva exclaimed.
"This is gonna hurt!" Duncan added in fear.
"Yeah, the intern who tested it will be out of commish for...," Chris said thoughtfully before looking at Chef, "ten months was it?" Chef grinned and nodded as the scene briefly showed the body-casted intern in the infirmary.
"We can't afford bobsleds," Chris told the contestants, "so you're gonna ride longboards in teams of two bobsled-style! Down Chef's track and into the pool," he added as the hulking man held up his longboard and grinned. Chris pointed to the right, and the camera cut to the empty swimming pool where the track ended. "Each team gets three runs. Fastest total time wins!" He grinned at their shocked faces. "Ready?"
"Ladies first," Heather pointed to Mal and Cody.
"Hey," Cody said in offense.
\
The scene flashed to the infirmary where Izzy was sitting on Owen's bed and Ella stood next to her.
"How are you feeling, Izzy?" Ella checked up on the psycho.
"I am good, but I just miss Owen," Izzy said without her usual hyperactive energy.
"I still do not know how he got sucked out of the plane," Ella said. "Was he not hanging on to the door?"
"He probably was, but I'm betting that someone made him fall," Izzy claimed seriously.
The familiar music note logo appeared on-screen with its usual dings that caused the girls to freeze.
"The timing is poor," Ella exclaimed.
Chris poked his head in. "This emotionally demented moment sounds like a song for Izzy to sing."
"You know I enjoy singing, but now is not the time," Ella complained. "We are in an infirmary."
"Or don't do a song and take the chopper home with Owen," Chris warned.
/\/\/\
[A few metallic drum beats opened a reggae-like melody joined by a bass guitar, guitar, and organ. The camera focused on Izzy as she looked downward, then began to sing.]
"I miss the way Owen said hello, by being super duper cheesy!"
[Izzy sang sadly, the camera zoomed in on her before rippling to a flashback of Owen getting off the bus and panicking due to having to be on a plane.]
"I miss the daytime when Owen moved so slow, and even when he was freaky!"
[The scene changed to flashbacks of Owen swimming slowly in Newfoundland and Owen eating a painting in the Paris museum.]
"Oh Owen, oh Owen, I, I miss you so!"
[The scene changed to Izzy helping Owen out of the cocoon he got stuck in.]
"Oh my Owen, my silly Owen, why did you have to go?"
[The scene changed again, this time to Owen almost getting sucked out of the plane in the seventh episode.]
"I miss his smile and the way he'd like to hold, onto us when there was trouble!"
[Izzy sang over clips of Owen dressed up as the monster and him hugging Eva and Izzy. She added, "It happened a lot."]
"I miss the way he'd always say good night."
[The scene changed again, this time to Owen sleeping on the plane as a demonstration.]
"And eat up Chef's food on the double."
[Izzy sang as the scene changed to Owen shaped like a sausage. She said "Wow!" after singing the line.]
"Oh Owen, oh Owen, I, I miss you so!"
[The scene changed to Owen getting sucked into the Statue of Liberty's nose.]
"Oh my Owen, my silly Owen, why did you have to go?"
[The scene changed to Owen getting crushed by the plane. The scene changed back to her in the infirmary.]
"Why did you have to go?"
[She asked one last time.]
\/\/\/
Ella gave her a sympathetic pat on the shoulder after the song ended.
\
A flash took the scene to the start of the bobsled course, where a pair from each team had lined up with their longboards. In front were Eva and Noah wearing their helmets; behind them were Cody and Mal; and in the back was Duncan and Sky.
"I don't know about you guys, but it seems like you're gonna be a team of three if Owen doesn't come here soon. His accident was pretty brutal," Mal told Team Power, causing Duncan and Sky to shoot glares at him behind his back.
"We'll just have to wait and see about that," Noah firmly said back.
The shot cut down to the pool where Chris and Chef were now sitting in lounge chairs with glasses of ice water.
"Isn't this better than being mad?" Chris talked to his assistant. "So we have to wait for a cash influx before we can jet. Great. Make the interns fill the pool and it's a paid vacation, bro." They clicked their glasses together as Ezekiel, Heather, Izzy, Sadie, and Topher looked at them unimpressed.
Chris took out a red megaphone and called out "Round One, Team Power!"
The shot cut to Eva and Noah as the two mounted the longboard, the schemer kneeling down in back with the female bully folded over in the front. "Ready?" Chris asked.
"Ready!" Eva replied.
Chris pulled the trigger on the megaphone, and the two launched themselves forward at its high-pitched wail.
They launched off the starting hill, took the first curve, and started to climb the bigger hill. As they reached the peak, Noah squealed as the longboard started rapidly going down the hill.
"This is fun!" Eva steeled her expression into a confident grin and leaned forward, and the two rocketed through a pair of metal tubes and over a short gap and into the loop-the-loop.
"I better not barf!" Noah yelled as they rounded the loop almost effortlessly, then shot out through the final metal tube into the pool. They dropped unceremoniously to the bottom of the pool.
"Forty-seven point-thirty-six is the time to beat!" Chris announced as a timer reading [00:47:36] appeared on-screen. "Team Blizzard!" he said into his megaphone, and the shot cut to Cody and Mal seated on their board, Mal in front and Cody in back.
"Remember to trust your instincts," Mal told his teammate.
He called out "Ready!", receiving a wail from the megaphone in reply, and Cody launched them off like a shot. The pair immediately began to holler out in fear as they went over the starting hill and into the bigger one, their speed forcing them to lean back from their sitting-up positions. They continued to scream as they crested the big hill, went through the loop-the-loop, passed through the final tunnel, and smacked into the side of the pool with a thud that made Chris and Chef wince.
"Fifty-eight point-forty-nine seconds!" Chris announced as the on-screen timer read [00:58:49]. "Team Power still leads by a healthy margin! Team Victory!" he called through his megaphone, the camera cutting to Duncan and Sky on their longboard.
"Here we go," Sky said from the back.
"Ready!" Duncan called out, launching them forward at the signal.
The pair were leaning forward, and they began to scream in terror. They made short work of the starting hill and curve, and as they reached the top of the largest hill, they quickly started screaming again as they plummeted down the hill. They jumped the gap, rounded the loop, shot through the tunnel, and managed to land on the edge of the pool feeling victorious.
"Forty-five point-zero-one seconds!" Chris announced, the timer reading [00:45:01]. "We have a new leader! Team Victory takes round one!"
The shot cut to the edge of the pool as Sadie glared at the host. "We're all here," she said. "You don't need to use that right now." The camera pulled back to show the players separated into their teams.
"Maybe I just like it!" Chris said into the megaphone. "Round Two!" he declared as the shot cut to a close up of him.
\
The footage skipped forward to show the three pairs now at the start of the course. Ezekiel and Sadie were up for Team Victory; Heather and Topher were playing for Team Blizzard; and Izzy and Noah were present for Team Power.
"So a military guy took Owen away?" Noah asked the girl kneeling behind him.
"You bet. He's so smart, he figured out time travel," Izzy replied. A screeching signal came, and Noah launched them forward. Some brief screaming was heard as the camera cut to Chris and Chef getting their drinks refilled by a red-haired white woman in khakis and a green tube top, and the host took a sip before casting his glance back to the pool.
Izzy and Noah shot out and hit the side of the pool. "Team Power comes in at fifty-six point-twenty-eight. Better than their first run!" Chris announced, the timer displaying [00:56:28]. "But not by much. Team Blizzard, you're up!"
"Welp, gotta blast," Topher told Heather. The queen bee was in the back, but they seemed to have taken a cue from the other teams and leaned forward as soon as the signal was sounded.
They flew around the course, with both screaming for their lives; they crested the large peak and looped the loop without issue. The shot cut to Chris, Chef and the poolside contestants watching expectantly as the longboard was heard approaching, then cringing at the sound of an impact and watching with shock as the two contestants tumbled past them followed by their board seconds later.
"Nice wipe-out!" Chris told them, the on-screen timer reading [00:55:16]. "With a time of fifty-five point-one-six seconds, it'll take a miracle to get out of last place now."
"Team Victory ready?" the host called through his megaphone, and the shot immediately cut to the last pair waiting at the start of the course.
"Ready!" Ezekiel and Sadie said before the megaphone sounded off. The two launched forward on their board, not quite leaning forward but going fairly fast nonetheless and screaming quite loudly. They hung for a second at the top of the hill, then finally fell forward with a scream and passed through the tunneled jump.
They entered the final tunnel with Sadie leaning forward and Ezekiel feeling relaxed on the back. They slowed down as they went through the narrowest part of the tunnel. Nevertheless, they exited with a decent amount of speed, just enough to collide them with the pool as they finished.
"Forty-four point-three-seven!" Chris declared when the camera panned to him, the timer reading [00:44:37]. "Victory beats their own high score and widens their lead even further! Round Three!"
\
The pairs for the final round were Eva and Izzy for Team Power, Cody and Mal again for Team Blizzard, and Duncan and Sky again for Team Victory.
Mal walked up to Team Victory and made sure the others could not see them. "Good luck on your run. I don't want you to end up like Owen after his little accident," he taunted them.
Sky shot a fierce glare at Mal as he walked back to Cody. "He was the one that got Owen evacuated, wasn't he?!" the athlete hissed at Duncan, "I can't believe him!"
"I can," Duncan glared as well. "This guy is beyond redemption."
"One by one, all of you will fall," Mal evilly whispered to himself before turning over to Cody.
Confessional: Sky
"Mike's personalities can be bothersome, but at least they never attempted to kill any of us," Sky ranted, "And yes, I know it was Mal now, Mike would never have done that of his own free will."

"Team Power," Chris called through his megaphone, "ready?"
"We may be behind," Izzy told Eva as the two mounted their longboard with the bodybuilder sitting in back, "but let's make our final trial count."
"Ready!" Eva called out, and was met with the shriek of the megaphone-airhorn in reply. They launched themselves forward, leaning down with their helmets in front as they quickly passed through the hills and gaps and loop-the loops.
They shot out of the course at high speed, but rather than rolling along the side of the pool they crashed headlong into it.
"Fifty-three point forty-one seconds," Chris announced as the timer read [00:53:41, "for a three-run combined total of," the timer rapidly counted up to [02:37:00, "two minutes and thirty-seven seconds! Good, but will it be good enough?"

The shot flashed back up to the start of the course where Cody and Mal got into position once again. "Do I trust your instincts this time?" the geek told his partner.
"I'm on the back, so yeah," Mal answered.
They got on their longboard, and at the signal Cody sent them flying down the track. They cheered as they rolled into the big hill, and in the process, Mal punched the board behind him, creating a wooden ramp. The troublemaker smirked at his dirty work as he and Cody moved forward.
The two drew closer, and finally shot out of the final tunnel and into the pool. "Blizzard is in first place with a total of two minutes, thirty-five seconds!" Chris announced, the timer changing from [00:41:09] to [02:35:00]. "Team Victory!" he called through his megaphone, and the camera cut to the final pair.
"We still have a lead over the other two teams. There's nothing to worry about," Duncan told Sky.
The shrieking signal from the host caught their attention, and the two rocketed themselves forward. Duncan and Sky went over the starting hill, around a curve and up the big hill.
They passed through the first tunnel and they were feeling confident, until they saw the wooden ramp in their path. The two members of Team Victory screamed as they rode through the ramp and soared through the sun.
Chris witnessed Duncan and Sky flying away and pulled up his megaphone. "Incomplete. Blizzard wins, Power is stuck in economy class, and Victory goes to the elimination room." Chris announced. "You know, if Duncan and Sky ever make it back."
Team Blizzard cheered at their win, Team Power slumped down in defeat, and Ezekiel and Sadie groaned.

The footage switched to the jet lying on the beach as the sun began to go down. Inside, Team Blizzard was enjoying their victory and drinking glasses of orange juice at their table. The camera panned right to show the three remaining members of Team Power watching with jealousy at their own table and Sadie and Ezekiel slouching on their table without Sky and Duncan around.
Mal came over to the two members of Team Victory. "I don't know about you, but you guys should vote Duncan out," he offered to them.
"I don't know. Duncan's probably one of the meanest competitors left in the game other than Heather of course. Plus, I feel like he's spreading rumors about me," Mal said in a falsely hurt tone.
Ezekiel frowned. "I don't think he's one to do that."
"Sky looked at me strangely today as if I did something wrong and offensive and I saw Team Power whispering whenever I'm around," Mal sighed.
"You did nothing bad," Sadie came to his defense. "Duncan's just trying to make you look bad."
"Anyway, who do you want to keep around? Duncan, the guy who likes making fun of everyone, or Sky, the girl who's nice to us and opened up to me?" Mal talked to them and went back to his team, leaving Ezekiel and Sadie to think about their options.
Confessional: Ezekiel
"Sky is Mike's best friend, and after what Mike just told us, I don't want to make things worse for him by eliminating her," Ezekiel confirmed his vote.

The camera went to the elimination room, showing Team Victory, Chef, and Chris inside. Sky and Duncan both had slings on their left and right arms respectively and both of their heads were bandaged.
"You've all cast your votes," Chris said from his center podium, holding up a tray of three peanut-filled barf bags. "And now to find out who is gonna stay. Sadie and Sky, you two are safe." He tossed barf bags to the two, and the girls caught them.
"And finally..." Ezekiel and Duncan leaned forward in anticipation. "Ezekiel!"
Ezekiel got his barf bag while Duncan appeared to be stunned.
"Mike told us about you spreading rumors about him," Sadie said. "That was not nice."
"I didn't spread any rumors about him," Duncan said. "That was a lie just to get me out."
"Drop of Shame's that-a-way. You can let yourself out," Chris informed the delinquent.
Duncan glared at him and grabbed the parachute from Chef's hands. "Sky, make sure these two know the truth about Mike. It's your job now." Sky nodded while waving goodbye to Duncan before he jumped off the plane.
The shot immediately cut outside to Duncan landing on the beach a couple feet below the doorway. "It's not the same without the scream," Chris said as he and Chef looked out from the elimination room.
"Like I'd want to please you any more," Duncan denied and walked away from the jet.
"You're welcome," Chris called out before focusing on the camera. "Will Team Power carry on without Owen there to lift up their spirits?" And will we ever get off this island? Find out next time, right here, on Total!" the first blaring note zoomed out the scene to show the whole elimination room. "Drama!" the second blaring note took the camera outside. "Woooorrrrlllddd~ Tooouuurrrr~!" The final note expanded the scene to show the entire beached jet, Duncan just visible walking away on the left.

(Bonus Clip)
The clip opened up to Duncan walking along the Jamaican beach at sunset, his parachute pack over his shoulder.
He looked at the camera and began to talk. "I could've taken down Mal, but he was the one to take me down," he said. "What's worse, he managed to cripple Owen out of the game and I couldn't do anything to stop it."
"I know Ezekiel and Sadie are gullible, and I'm not the nicest guy around, so obviously they'd vote for me," Duncan added and he stopped walking. "Right now, all I care about is what's going to happen next with Mal around to cause trouble. I never thought I would say this, but I really hope the others stay safe around this guy."
He stopped talking when he saw a family of red ants crawling on him. "Are those supposed to be… RED ANTS!!!" He jumped up in a panic and ran from the camera hollering in pain.
Author's Note: Yep, Mal actually caused an injury this season, I told you. I came to make Mal evil, and what better way to do that then by getting Owen off the plane. As for Duncan, Mal had to dispose of him sooner than later, why not do so now.
Originally I had Mal kick Owen off the plane himself but I figured him being responsible for Owen letting go, while not exactly forcing him off the plane felt more clever and vicious.
