I wanted this up sooner, but I needed to wait for votes. One more vote for each of you. Anyway, if it didn't go the way you wanted, especially someone out there that didn't vote, too bad for you. You should have voted.


Eighth Campfire Ceremony

Confession Cam:

(Walter) "You know, I think we just actually earned a victory for once. Amazing, isn't it?"

(Erik) "Watching the other team today was like watching a circus."

(Todd) He is holding ice to his head. "So, uh, I have to decide who to send home again… Thinking is hard…"

(Madison) "Ah'm sticking with what Ah said last time. Nice gal, but not so useful. We could have gotten at least one more point from Todd if he hadn't been a, well, practically knocked out in the first place."

(Gail) "Oh, I can't believe how I almost took his head off… with an apple. But, seeing as a direct hit to the head from an apple, followed by knocking himself out with a yo-yo, which, believe me, they are actually really hard, Todd probably has a concussion, so his usefulness probably just dropped… way down.

(Rufus) "Well, Todd's a good player, and today his sucking wasn't all his fault. Jamie, well, I can use him. Gail, she's hot and I can use her. So, this time, I gotta say goodbye to Ashlynn. Sorry, Sweetie, you stand up to me a bit too much."

"Welcome again, Howling Toucans, to the dreaded campfire elimination ceremony…" Chris said. "You know the procedure… but we never know if we have new viewers out there, watching their first episode of Total Drama Island, so, let's go through it one more time. You have lost… again! There are eight of you before me, but only seven marshmallows on this plate. The camper who does not receive a marshmallow must immediately pack your belongings, walk the Dock of Shame, board the Boat of Losers, and leave Camp Wawanakwa 2 forever. And our first marshmallow goes to… "

"Don't try the suspense," Ashlynn said. "We know it goes to Rufus."

"Alright then, Rufus," Chris said and Rufus walked up, receiving his marshmallow. "Next, Jamie."

"Nice!"

"Bex."

"Cool," Bex said. She smiled at Jamie and he smiled back.

"Madison."

"Yee haw!"

"It would be so much better for all of us if you sewed your mouth shut," Rufus said. Madison stuck her tongue out at him in retaliation and he just rolled his eyes.

"Alex," Chris tossed him his marshmallow. The sadistic host smiled, looking over the three left. "The next marshmallow goes to… Todd." Chris tossed the fluffy white treat to Todd, who missed catching it. Rufus laughed loudly when Todd then picked it up off the ground and ate it, while everyone else cringed.

Ashlynn and Gail looked at one another.

"There are two of you left, but only one marshmallow," Chris said. "Gail, today, you not only didn't score a point, but you also practically knocked Todd out, causing him to totally screw up as well. And Ashlynn, you didn't score either, partly because we game you the back pack with the new intern's clothing instead of a parachute. Anyway, the last marshmallow goes to… Gail."

"Wait, what?" Ashlynn yelled jumping to her feet. Gail pranced up and grabbed her marshmallow. "You guys voted me off?"

"Obviously," Rufus said.

"Well… Fine!" Ashlynn shouted and she stomped away to the Dock of Shame.

Confession Cam:

(Rufus) "So, I found out who everyone was voting for in one way or another. I could have easily gotten Todd kicked off, but I think I have a little more use for him. The other two top contenders were Gail and Ashlynn. Gail, she can be manipulated, so I convinced Alex, who was going to vote for Todd, that Gail was going to be going if he did that. So, he voted for Ashlynn. And Todd, well, he couldn't even take three steps without tripping, so all I needed to do was give him a name. I could have told him to say his own name if I wanted to."

(Nessa) "She's nice, alright, but I don't need them having a team mother who is distracting Erik all the time. He'll get over her."

(Erik) "Oohhh… I should have told you how I felt. I swear, I'm going to win this for you, Ashlynn. All you Toucans are going down!"

Rufus was by Misty, brushing the horses fur as he waited. He heard a snap of a twig and turned to see not only Nessa, but Walter too. He smirked. His alliance with Nessa was strategic. This was even more so. He had wondered why he had gotten immunity. Walter seemed more like the one to give it to someone that wouldn't be voted off, like Bex.

"So, who are we aiming for next?" Nessa asked, jumping onto a low branch in a tree. "Madison's getting more annoying by the day."

Rufus shot a look at her. He didn't know why. "No, next is Todd," he said. "He'll screw up again next challenge because he'll still be out of it. He'll be harder to get out once he's back to himself, and we don't want to have to worry about him when it's every camper for himself."

"Are you sure you don't want to keep your girlfriend around?" Walter asked. "Or are you really just that attached to her horse and not her ass?"

"You guys do your part to make Todd look bad, okay?" Rufus said.

"You really do like her, you know," Nessa said. "You say you like the horse, but we all know you're secretly hoping she'll want to go for a ride and thus have to face you alone."

"Misty is a majestic creature and deserves better company than that cowgirl," Rufus said.

Confession Cam:

(Walter) "Did he really just say majestic creature while talking about something other than himself?"

"Whatever, Rufus," Nessa said. She jumped to the ground again. "I'm off."

"Yeah, I can't be seen here either," Walter said, going in a slightly different direction than Nessa.

Rufus turned back to Misty. "You poor, poor girl, having a disaster like Madison for an owner. Crazy, psychopath… way too rough with you." He brushed her a few more times, non-stop complaining about the blonde haired cowgirl. Then he stopped, turned to a tree, and punched it hard. "Damn it… I do like her."
