A/N: Thanks everyone for your awesome reviews. I'm gonna try and write this before I go on vacation. My uncle's house doesn't have internet so I won't be able to update. But I'll work out some challenges while I'm gone in my notebook.
Chapter Two 'The Not So Great Film Lot'-Part Two
"Last time on Total Drama Action: Reader's Choice, we welcomed fourteen regular teenagers to the film lot. They were soon formed into two teams, The Screaming Gaffers and Killer Grips. Then we welcomed the co-host, Kathleen and met host Annie's boyfriend, Cory. Who will be the first to walk the walk of shame? Find out tonight on Total Drama Action!"
The fourteen 'cast mates' sat down in the dining hall for lunch. The two teams sat down at their marked tables. The dining hall was filled with a sweet smell of muffins and cookies.
"Awesome!" Alex exclaimed. "We get cookies for lunch!"
Annie walked out of the kitchen, biting into a cookie. "Don't get your hopes up Alex. Kathleen made these just for the crew." Cory walked out following Annie. In his hands was a big pot. He walked over to Alex and put a big pile of slop in his plate. "That's for you."
That got Annie many glares. Bella walked up to Annie. "Hey," She said trying to act real nice. "Can you hook me up with something?"
"Sorry Bella. But I can't do that." Annie and Cory walked out of the kitchen. Kathleen entered the dining hall with a fresh tray of cookies and sandwiches. "Hurry guys; get these before they come back."
She gave one of each to everyone. As Cameron munched down on his sandwich, he wondered. "Hey Kathleen, why are you being so nice to us?"
"Because I don't want you eating that horrible slop like Chef Hatchet made last season." Kathleen replied.
Chef Hatchet Sued the Total Drama Network
In the control room, Annie was writing up some paperwork. "If anyone says one more word about season 1, I'll have to eliminate them." She said to Cory, who was finishing up his cookie that Kathleen had made him.
"You're right. I say we eliminate all of them and you can have the ones you like the best to win." Cory replied. Annie rolled her eyes.
Confession Cam
Annie/"I mean, I like Cory, but sometimes he gets on my nerves. I would like to see Isabella win, but I can't say who will win."
Back in the kitchen, Annie walked back in followed by Cory. "Okay everyone. Ready for the first challenge?" Annie asked. Mostly everyone nodded. "Well, the first challenge today is based off the starter of all movies."
"What?" Milton said. Everyone gasped at Milton for him saying the first word ever since he got here.
"The Children's movie!" Annie exclaimed.
Confession Cam
Chloe/"A children's movie? Please." Chloe is filing her nails. "Just give me my money."
"Now if you follow me, I'll lead you to the area of your challenge." Annie said, waiting for everyone to get up.
Tiffany pushed her plate of slop away from her. "I'm glad to get away from this glop." She said.
Cory glared at her, and then turned around and walked beside Annie.
Confession Cam
Cory/"That brat is lucky enough that I even make food for them!"
Once at the area of the challenge, everyone saw a table filled with papers. Annie turned to face the fourteen teenagers. "Most children movies usually have some action scenes at the end with a villain."
"And they also have that in a book too." Jalyn interrupted.
"Excuse me," Annie said. "As I was saying, action scenes. But the movies do nothing harmless to the villains. For today's challenge, you must defeat your villain without doing anything harmless."
Yami looked at Annie. "Are you sure? Why can't I just bust the head off the villain?"
"You can do that," Annie explained. "But it will only get you eliminated. The team with the most success wins the challenge." She pointed at the papers. "These papers tell each and every one of you who you're facing and what the story is."
Everyone raced up and got their papers. "You'll be placed somewhere in the film lot where you will face your villain. If you do anything inappropriate for G-rated films, you're out." Annie said, just as a helicopter landed behind her and Cory. "Time to get going."
After a long ride, Nathaniel was placed in the jungle set. The helicopter took off, leaving him there by himself.
The trees that surrounded Nathaniel looked almost real, the trunks were just the right color and almost as solid. Bushes covered with blue berries were everyone. Roots sprouted out from under the trees, making Nathaniel nearly trip every time he walked. Suddenly, Nathaniel stepped into something sticky.
He let out a scream. "EW!" He screamed.
Confession Cam
Nathaniel/"I HATE this place. Why in the world did I ever sign up for this place when I could have been acting at the stage?" Nathaniel yelled.
Suddenly, Nathaniel heard footsteps behind him. He turned to see an intern dressed as a tiger. The costume opened at the interns head so Nathaniel could see his face.
"Hello young one." His voice was very quickly. Nathaniel couldn't understand what he said. "I have come to watch you lose."
Nathaniel rolled his eyes and said "I've seen uglier tigers than you before." He pretended that the intern was really a tiger. The intern rolled his eyes too.
Then he pulled out a water gun and squirted Nathaniel all around. Nathaniel looked straight at the tiger's eyes. "You jerk!" He yelled. Suddenly, a loud alarm blared in the jungle.
Annie appeared out of nowhere and walked over to Nathaniel. "Sorry Nathaniel, but I'm afraid you're out. No bad words in a children's movie."
Confession Cam
Annie/"I can't say I'm surprised that Nathaniel was the first out. He got mad just because he was wet!"
Nathaniel/"Great," Nathaniel lifts up his right arm. And with his other arm, he pointed at the wetness. "Now I'm soaked, and I'm out! Can this get any worse?"
Bella found herself in the western part of the film lot, reading the papers. "Okay," She said to herself. "So my villain is a bad cowboy?" Bella raised an eyebrow at the paper.
"You've got to be kidding me."
"No, you're not being kid." Said a voice. Bella looked up from her papers to see an intern wearing a cowboy suit. On his belt were two squirt guns.
The cowboy had a smile on his face as he threw off his hat. "Ready to lose?"
Bella threw her papers on the ground. "Ready," Bella said through her gritted teeth, ready for anything. Then she began to run toward the western town, trying to find something to help her win the challenge.
She looked over to see the cowboy riding a horse behind her. The horse moved closer to Bella as she ran.
Finally, the horse stopped right in front of Bella, causing her to slide on the ground. Bella looked up to see some rope on the cowboy's belt. She grabbed it and got up.
"Hey!" Bella yelled, even though the cowboy was really close to her. "Come and get me!" She took off running with the rope in till she found the train station. She looked back, the cowboy wasn't there.
Quickly, Bella tied the one end of the rope to a pole and hid on the other side of the pool just as the cowboy rode up.
The horse fell on the ground as soon as Bella tugged. The cowboy sat on the ground, still.
"Is he…dead?" She asked. Bella pressed her ear against the intern's chest. He was still breathing. "Good."
Confession Cam
Bella/"Close one." She said.
After that, Bella tied up the cowboy just as Annie arrived. "Congrats Bella." She said. "You have completed your task and are free to enjoy your rest of the day till the winning team is decided."
Bella smiled and walked back to her trailer.
Two hours later, ten more of the teens had done their challenge. Jasmine and Jared remained for their tasks. At the zoo set, Annie and Cory dropped the two off.
"Okay you two. The teams are tied right now. One of you will either win the challenge for your team for lose it. You're both trying to capture the same villain. The first one to keep the villain caught for three seconds wins the challenge. No pressure." Annie told when they landed.
Confession Cam
Annie/Grinning, she says, "Okay, there's pressure."
The two headed into the zoo just as a tiger much like the one Nathaniel faced back in the Jungle set jumped out in front of them.
The intern laughed. "Which one of you idiots are gonna fight me?"
In the screen room, Annie flipped through the pages of the challenge rule book. Then she popped on her cell phone.
"Hello, Chris. Just need a question answered. We're doing a children themed challenge. Are the interns allowed to swear?"
"Yes." Chris's voice replied.
"Thanks."
Jared ran around the tiger to the gift shop while Jasmine tried to lure the tiger into a cage.
Inside the gift shop, Jared looked around; trying to find some that would help him win. He passed t-shirts, cameras, and coloring books. Then he thought of it. Jalyn!
He pulled a walkie talkie out of his pocket and spoke into it. "Jalyn, are you there?"
A muffled voice came out on the other end. "Yea, how are you doing so far?"
"Not bad. But I need help. What would you do to tame a tiger, or in this case, an intern?"
"An intern? Hmm," Jalyn's voice screeched. "How about money?"
"Great idea. But I don't have any money!"
"Cool down. Where are you?"
"In the gift shop." Jared replied, his voice getting angry now. "Jasmine might be already winning! Hurry!"
"You know," Jalyn said over the talkie. "I'm not so sure about helping you. My team may not like me anymore."
"Just tell me. I'm your friend!"
"Fine. Try and see if you can find any plastic play money." Jalyn's voice faded out which meant he had shut off his talkie.
Confession Cam
Jared/"I kinda feel bad using Jalyn. If his team finds out about this, they may vote him off. Anyway, I gave him that walkie-talkie earlier today, so just in case I needed to call him."
Finally, in the toy's section, Jared found some plastic money. He grabbed it and ran out of the shop.
Meanwhile, Jasmine had lured the intern into a cage. She was about to close the cage in till Jared showed up.
"Hold it right there Jasmine." Jared said. "I've got a challenge to win."
"Sorry Jared. But I've already won." She replied.
Then she turned to close the cage

But then Jared flung a knife at the cage door, reopening it. Jasmine fell back, fainting. That knife came really close to her.
Jared waved the money in the air and waved it. "It's time for pay day!" He shouted, and the intern followed him as she walked over to the tiger's cage.
Once at the cage, Jared threw the plastic money in the cage and locked it. The intern picked up the money, and disappointed, he said "Hey! Where's my real money?"
Annie, Cory, and everyone else soon showed up with Jasmine. "Congrats Jared. You've won the challenge for your team. The Killer Grips win!"
Cameron, Nathaniel, Jared, Effie, Bella, Rosalin, and even Tiffany cheered. Then Annie turned to The Screaming Gaffers. "Sorry for you. Tonight you're gonna vote someone off!"
About a half-hour later, Jared walked over to Jalyn. "Thanks buddy for helping me win the challenge." He happened to say that just as Chloe passed by. She gasped once she was out of view from them.
Confession Cam
Chloe/"O my gosh. Jalyn was cheating! He's so gonna be leaving tonight."
And the first challenge is now over. And now for the explaining of the voting:
