We get to hear from original TDI cast members today (Geoff, Bridgette, Gwen, Trent, Heather, DJ, Izzy, Owen, Justin, Harold, Courtney, Duncan (kind of), Tyler, Sadie, and Noah). One of them appears, to Chris's surprise, in person. Yay!


They Couldn't Do It, So Why Should You?

"Hey, Walter, may I have a word?" Nessa questioned the next morning out of nowhere.

Confession Cam:

(Walter) "When Nessa wanted a word, I knew something couldn't be right… But, her proposition was actually quite interesting."

"Well, as you might have noticed, neither team has been getting along all that well," she said. "But, I say we get our team together and have a nice little peer mediation to work out all our problems."

"And…" Walter knew there had to be more.

"Well, for us, we don't have a single person causing all the tension, but the Toucans do, and his name is Rufus," Nessa said. "My idea is that we force them to keep him."

"He's a strong player," Walter said.

"True," Nessa said. "Except when he's fighting with Madison, flirting with Gail and Ashlynn, thus distracting them, and angering Alex. Or when he's being a jerk in general and fighting with Bex and Todd. In fact, the only one who can almost stand him on their team is Jamie, and that's just because Rufus is using him."

Confession Cam:

(Nessa) "You know, I'm sort of starting to understand the reasons Heather was the way she was. She wanted to win, and sometimes, being a complete bitch is the best way to accomplish that."

"And, of course, we have to make sure that people like Todd and Jamie and Ashlynn are the ones that they will want to vote off. Especially Todd and Ashlynn because they present a distraction for our team."

Confession Cam:

(Bex) "Lo and behold, I wake up and suddenly the Iggys are all best buds again." She sighs. "We're doomed again."

"Hey, Bex, how are you?" Jamie asked coming up next to her as she was approaching that morning's food delivery.

She smiled slightly at him. "I'm good. Yourself??

"Oh, fine," he said. He was fidgeting a bit, like he couldn't keep his hands still, drumming his legs, cracking his fingers. "I, uh, so there was something I wanted to ask you…"

Bex looked at him. He was almost a full foot taller than her, so looking up at him when he stood a bit too close was slightly a strain on her neck. But she couldn't help but notice that when his green eyes weren't bloodshot, and he spoke in full sentences that usually made sense, he was a bit cute. Granted, right now, she was sure he could use a mellow, as he was seemingly going through some bad withdrawal.

She had never been a big smoker of pot, granted she had tried it here or there. But Jamie, he was obviously addicted. He scratched the back of his neck, then turned to look at a tree, then was kicking the sand.

"Heads up, Jamie!" Ashlynn called out, just a minute too late before a Frisbee was lodged in his opened mouth. Bex couldn't help be break out laughing at how ridiculous he looked.

"Sit, boy," Rufus said lifting the tanning goggled off his eyes to see Jamie. "Roll over."

Confession Cam:

(Jamie) "Gee, Rufus, try to not make me feel like a dog…"

Bex reached up and removed Frisbee from his mouth throwing it back where it had come from.

"Fetch, boy," Rufus yelled laughing, before replacing his goggles and tanning again.

Todd caught the disk, the smirked throwing the Frisbee as hard as he could at Rufus, hitting his neck. He sat up, coughing and looked around wildly. "Who was that?" he managed to get out in a gravely voice as everyone else laughed.

"Who do you think it was, Sherlock?" Walter questioned, then he motioned toward Todd.

Rufus narrowed his eyes at Todd. "You're so dead," he croaked.

"Just try it," Todd said, still laughing. "Mr. Toad." Everyone began laughing harder.

Rufus stood up and started toward Todd, still holding his throat, when Chris's voice broke through the laughs.

"Would all campers please report to the Dock of Shame immediately."

"You are so damn lucky, Balgaire," Rufus said as he stomped toward the dock.

On the dock sat fifteen chairs, seven with an Iguana symbol, eight with a Toucan symbol. Chris between the two sets of chairs, and something large was hidden under a cloth next to him. The campers quickly divided into their teams and took a seat.

"I hope you all are having a good time, because now it's time for your next challenge. This one is called…" he pulled the sheet off the object revealing a large wheel with the pictures of the original cast members on it, "They Couldn't Do It, So Why Should You? One by one, each of you will come up and spin the wheel. We have several challenges that the original campers were unable to complete for each camper, and you have to do one of the challenges. The team that completes the most challenges, wins immunity for the night. So, Toucans, you have more members. Who wants to go first?"

Confession Cam:

(Alex) "He must get a lot of pleasure from this."

Alex stood up and approached the wheel, wanting to get it over with. He spun the wheel with all his might and it landed on Harold.

"Let's look to our television for a message from Harold," Chris said and turned on the small television. Harold, wherever he was, was smirking.

"Hello, new campers," Harold said. "Your challenge is one that I would have done, if not for a certain female revealing certain girl parts to me, thus distracting me."

"Ew, as if!" Heather's voice sounded. "It was one hundred percent an accident."

"You must water-ski through mud and collect five flags and make it past the finish line," Harold said. "And you were going to cut me loose anyway, gosh!"

Alex groaned and the whole group followed Chris to the mud course they had set up. "Now, who will drive?" Chris asked.

"I will," Erik said. "Will this, by any chance, count as me trying to complete Duncan's failed try at getting Lindsey to fail?"

"No," Chris said.

Erik started up the jet-ski and began through the course, pulling Alex along. It wasn't long before Alex tilted the ski the wrong way, and was getting pulled, face first, through the mud. Erik drove past a large rock, and Alex hit it, letting go.

"Okay, who's next?" Chris said, turning to the Iguanas.

"I'll go," Brooke said stepping up. She spun and landed on Courtney.

"Courtney, are you there?"

"You know, Chris, I'm really too busy for this right now," Courtney said appearing on the screen. Unlike Harold (and obviously Heather), she wasn't in a room for this, she was in an office building. "I have a job right now, because I was wrongfully eliminated." She narrowed her eyes. "Anyway, camper, you have to jump into a vat of green jelly from atop an atrociously dangerous height. Have fun trying not to break every limp on your delicate body."

They were led to the jelly vat, and Brooke climbed slowly. When she got to the top, she just stared down at the vat, which seemed miles away, rather than just one hundred feet down.

Confession Cam:

(Brooke) "I'm not afraid of jelly or anything stupid. But, Courtney was right. I probably would break in half if I jumped."

"While we wait to see if she jumps, Toucans, you're up again."

Gail spun this time and landed on Sadie.

"Hey, camper," Sadie said. Katie was right next to her. "In a certain challenge, I was to knock an arrow off Courtney's head with an apple. I kind of missed… a lot. It's your turn to see if you can do better."

Chris smiled and held up an apple, a slingshot, and an arrow. "Who wants to wear the arrow?"

Todd stepped forward. "I guess I will."

Gail was blindfolded and aimed toward Todd, who stood very still. "And, fire!" Chris yelled.

Gail shot once. Twice. Both whizzing past Todd's head. The third shot, it missed the arrow, but knocked Todd right off his feet.

"Oh too bad," Chris said. "Iguanas?"

"Todd, are you okay?" Ashlynn asked, bending near him and helping him up.

"I will," Todd said, talking to one of the several blurred Ashlynn's he saw. He took a step and fell.

"Maybe you should sit down for a while," Ashlynn said.

"I'm really sorry."

"It's okay, Gigi," Todd said.

"It's Gail," Gail said.

"Isn't that what I said?"

"Okay, you just sit there for a while, Todd," Ashlynn said.

Erik spun the wheel and landed on Justin. Justin appeared on camera. "Are you as talented as I am?"

"You must beat Justin's score from the talent contest," Chris said.

"Okay, that's easy," Erik said. "Toss me a basketball."

Chef stood as Erik climbed onto the stage on the boat. Erik bounced the basketball a few times before smirking. How about some music, okay?"

Nessa pressed play on a stereo from the karaoke challenge and a hip-hop song came on. Erik smirked and began bouncing the ball to the beat, then began a few tricks, bouncing it between his legs, fake passing, and pretty soon, he had to balls, spinning one on each hand, then alternating bouncing them, and ending on the last note, bouncing them both really high, so that the both went into "baskets:" a garbage can and one of Chef's pots.

"And, what's the score, Chef?" Chris asked.

"Eight points," Chef said.

"Which is one higher than Justin," Chris said. "So that's one point for the Iguanas. Toucans, who's up next?"

Todd fell forward from his chair and accidentally spun the wheel, landing on Tyler.

"Todd!" Ashlynn yelled. "You can't even see straight."

"What just happened?" he asked.

Confession Cam:

(Gail) "Great, not only did I lose my challenge, but I also screwed up by hitting Todd way too hard, but not hard enough to actually knock him out."

(Rufus) "Idiot."

"Hey, dudes!" Tyler was excited. "Your challenge is easy. Just do a simple yo-yo trick without getting knocked out or wrapped up in the strings."

Chris handed Todd a yo-yo, and then Ashlynn had to slip the string onto his finger. Still wobbling, Todd threw the yo-yo, which immediately flew back at him and hit him in the head, effectively knocking him out.

"And, the Iguanas hold their lead with one point. How about Nessa comes up this time."

Nessa sighed, but approached the wheel and spun, landing on Izzy.

The camera turned on and the seat was empty. "Dude, where is she?" Chris asked the camera guy. The camera moved up and down, as if the camera guy shrugged.

Suddenly, a loud laugh could be heard as a plane passed overhead. The crazy redhead from the first season was flying down, laughing insanely. It wasn't until the last second that she pulled the parachute string open. "I see I arrived just on time. Your challenge is to catch an animal, only, instead of hunting a deer, you'll be after a sting ray!"

Nessa groaned. "Why do I have to get this one?"

"Just get out there," Walter said.

Nessa geared up and dove into the water. A few minutes later, she returned, shivering and sputtering. "I can't," she said. "The ocean's too big and I don't want to end up like Erwin."

"Who's Erwin?" Genevieve asked.

"Steve Erwin," Phoebe said. "The Crocodile Hunter."

"Oh."

"Too bad!" Izzy said loudly. "I'm due back at the main land soon." She dove into the water and began swimming out to sea.

"Do you think she knows she's headed toward Cuba?" Chris asked.

"I don't really think she cares," Chef said.

"Okay," Chris said. "Toucans, your next one is Bex!"

Bex sighed and spun the wheel. It landed on Geoff.

"Sup bros and bras!" Geoff said from the camera scene. Bridgette was cuddled into his chest. "So, your challenge from me is to spend ten seconds in a barrel of leeches!"

Bex frowned.

"You, uh, want me to go for you?" Jamie asked.

Confession Cam:

(Jamie) "Well, Geoff went in for Bridgette, and look at them now."

Bex laughed. "I've got this, Jamie." She was led to the barrel and hopped in. The seconds passed by slowly and she began to sweat. Finally, the last second went by and the Toucans cheered as she climbed out of the barrel, several leeches sticking to her skin. "That was too… why is everyone spinning?"

"That's one point for the Toucans," Chris said. "Walter, you're up for the Iguanas."

Walter spun and landed on Bridgette. The television screen sprang back to life, on Bridgette and Geoff again. They were heavily making out again. "Pst," DJ's voice sounded. He tapped them on the shoulders. "You two are back up. Bridgette, your turn."

They broke apart. "Sorry about that," she said. "Okay, camper, your challenge is to hide form Chef for half an hour, and not get hit by him water gun."

Chef smiled. "This time it's stocked with tomato juice," he said.

"You have a one minute head start," Chris said.

"See ya," Walter said and ran off into the woods. A few seconds later, he say Brooke, still atop the diving board. He smirked and climbed it quickly.

"What are you—" Brooke began, but Walter slipped his hand over her mouth.

"Just be quiet, and don't bring attention to yourself," he said. He then lied down on the board, making sure that no parts of him were hanging over the edge.

"Okay, while we wait, Toucans, it's Rufus's turn!"

Rufus smirked. "I can do anything those campers did or didn't do," he said as he spun the wheel. It landed on Heather.

The screen appeared and Heather was frowning, wearing the ugly mullet wig. "I don't care who you are, but you need to let them do this!" She pulled off the wig, revealing her bald head.

Rufus's blue eyes widened. "Did I say anything…?"

The Toucans all smiled. "Come on, Ruffie," Madison said. "Ya'll can pull us ahead."

Chris started up the power razor.

"Oh, hell no, don't get near me with that!" Rufus yelled. He would have done any other challenge, but he would not risk his hair.

"Too bad, Toucans," Chris said throwing the razor overboard. "Genevieve, your turn."

She spun and landed on Noah. "Hello, insignificant camper who is likely to not win in the end," Noah said. "Your job is to dodge some balls."

Chris tossed up a ball. "Genevieve, you against the Toucans, Madison, Ashlynn, Rufus, Gail, and Jamie. You have to get one of them out before they get you out." He tossed her the ball.

The Toucans all smirked. This would be more than easy.

Confession Cam:

(Nessa) "Now, that's just totally unfair!"

All five Toucans threw their balls at her and the same time. Genevieve, surprising, dodged three of the balls, knocked one away with the ball in her hand, and then, caught the one headed at her head. Everyone just stared.

"I don't know whose ball you caught," Chris said. "But one of the Toucans would be out. Another point to the Iguanas. Next up, Ashlynn!"

Ashlynn spun, landing on Trent.

"Hey, you get to go mattress diving!"

Ashlynn frowned. A few minutes later, she was falling from the sky toward a mattress. She pulled her cord, and a bunch of clothes came out instead of a parachute.

"Oops, I think we gave her the wrong bag," Chris said. Ashlynn hit the ground, causing a crater shaped much like her, as Trent had.

"That sucks for you Toucans. Four campers left. Zak, your turn!"

Zak spun the wheel and it landed on Owen. "Wait, he won!"

"But he didn't win every challenge," Chris said. "Owen, big guy, what have you got for us."

"Two words," Owen said laughing. "Brain freeze!"

An intern pulled out a huge tub of ice cream.

Confession Cam:

(Zak) "I just need to take it slow. I only need to last ten seconds."

Zak grabbed a spoon and shoveled a mouthful of ice cream into his mouth. Followed by another. He had scooped five scoops into his mouth when the ten seconds were up. "And that's three for the Iguanas. Can Madison and Jamie gain enough to tie? Let's see. Madison, you're up."

Madison spun and it landed of Geoff again. This time, Brigette and Geoff were missing from the screen, but the sounds of their making out wasn't gone.

"Geoff, you're up again," Duncan said.

"Huh?" Geoff's head popped up, his hat missing. "Oh, uh, I think I tried to ride a moose…"

"Ah have to ride a moose?" Madison asked.

"Um, we're in the Caribbean," Bex said. "There aren't any moose here."

"Which is why we brought one from Wawanakwa," Chris said. The intern pulled up a cage with a moose.

Madison took a breath. "Can't be any harder than riding a bull," she said. She jumped up, and immediately, the moose went on a rampage. "Yee-haw!" Madison yelled, holding onto the antler with one hand and holding her hat on her head with the other. "This is awesome!"

After a minute, Madison still clung. "Okay, Phoebe, your turn."

Madison rode past, still having a blast.

Confession Cam:

(Rufus) "That chick is crazy." He looks away.

(Moose) It's eyes are red and it huffs, steam coming from its nose.

(Nessa) "Seriously, something is wrong with that chick."

Phoebe spun and it landed on DJ. She sighed.

Confession Cam:

(Phoebe) "DJ was a total wimp. Anyone could complete what he couldn't."

"Hey there," DJ said. "Your challenge is to pick a partner and do the blind toboggan."

"Who's your partner, Phoebe?" Chris asked.

Phoebe looked at her team. Erik, Nessa, Genevieve, or Zak. Walter was still hiding, and Brooke was still contemplating jumping into jelly. Zak looked like he had a bit of a brain freeze, Nessa wasn't happy, Genevieve wasn't quick enough with things like that.

"Erik!" Phoebe said.

With a buttered up toboggan, Phoebe tied the blind fold and got onto the sled, Erik climbing on after her.

"And, go!"

"Left," Erik directed. "Go left!"

"I'm trying!" Phoebe said, but the toboggan wouldn't follow her directions. Suddenly, the slammed into a tree.

"What was that about?" Chris asked.

"The toboggan wouldn't follow the directions I tried to turn," Phoebe said.

"Oh… maybe we shouldn't have used that experimental butter… oh well, Jamie, you have a chance to tie it up!"

Jamie spun the wheel, landing on Gwen. A moment later, the moose finally threw Madison off and she crashed into the wheel, destroying it.

"Well, I guess this is the last challenge of the day," Chris said. "Gwen, what have you got for us?"

"New age music torture!" Gwen said. She then crossed her arms and smirked.

"Oh, Jamie, I'm so sorry for you," Bex said, then hugged him. Jamie just smiled and didn't notice as the earphones were slipped over his ears. Ten seconds later, they were taken off.

"And Jamie actually survived it," Chris said.

"Okay, I'm ready," Jamie finally said.

"Dud, you already got the point," Rufus said.

"What?" Jamie asked. Then he blushed and smiled.

"But, that leaves us with a tie…" Chris said.

"No it doesn't," Brooke yelled.

"What?" Chris asked. "Your time is up, Brooke."

"Yeah, but so is Chef's time to find Walter!" Nessa said.

"How do you know he hasn't?" Chris asked.

"I'm over here, Chris!" Walter called, sitting up so he could be seen.

"Wow," Chris said. "Well, the Striking Iguanas win again. And, Walter, for being the final point, you get to give immunity.

Nessa smirked. Walter and Brooke returned to the dock. "I think I'll give the immunity to…" he looked over the other team, "Rufus."

"What!" Bex yelled jumping to her feet, then wobbling as she was still dizzy from the leeches.

"You heard me," Walter said.

Rufus smirked. "You should be thanking him," he said as he walked off to vote.

Confession Cam:

(Ashlynn) "Something is up. Giving Rufus the immunity twice in a row? And when they knew he would be voted off…" She rubs her head, which is in a bandage. "I'm going to kill Chris."


Okay, Toucans, please vote a little faster this time, if you will. Just for your reminder. Can't vote for Rufus. Jamie, Bex, and Madison all completed their challenge. Gail, Jamie, and Rufus were the only three Toucans not injured. Todd is currently unconscious (but will be awake-ish by the campfire ceremony), Ashlynn has a few small bodily injuries from crashing into the ground. Alex was smashed into a rock. Madison crashed through the wheel, and Bex is dizzy from the leeches sucking her blood.

Hope you enjoyed.

Also, sign-up for TDW is up, and i need more males... hint, hint. Remember, they can be related or friends with your characters here, but not the same characters (as it will be more of a season three, and these characters are possibly appearing). Also, Wyote, do you mind if the character you sent in is the same one that was Walter's friend here?

Love you all!
