Well, I have my computer back, and I just spent three hours typing this up, despite my raging cold. So, you better appreciate this and leaving raving reviews! I'm just glad that I had a lot of the basic info written down in a notebook so I didn't lose my thoughts on what would happen.
Who You're Most Compatible With
Confession Cam:
(Walter) "You want the truth?"
(Jamie) "I'm so glad that Machete girl is gone."
(Rufus) "I like my body the way it is, and I don't need a crazed assassin lopping a piece of it off because she wants a piece of my perfection."
(Todd) "I don't know. Christie and me actually got along. I didn't piss her off, she didn't make death threats against me... it was all good."
(Rufus) "Granted, I would be much happier with Todd gone..."
(Nessa) "My hope is that I don't have to ever go to the Playa De Losers. If I do, well, I'm dead meat. And it took so long for me to get Vlad and Dmitri to understand me the other day that I hardly got more than a back massage."
The campers were once again woken by the sound of a helicopter and groaned climbing out of their tents.
"What could our challenge be that he actually needs a chopper?" Jamie asked.
"He'd use a chopper if our challenge was a balloon toss, you realize," Walter said.
"True."
Suddenly, from the helicopter, about twenty balloon were launched at the group of campers, getting them all soaked. "I hate that man," Nessa said through gritted teeth.
A rope fell from the helicopter, and Chris, all harnessed up, came sliding down.
"Glad to see you've all taken a swim this sunny morning," he said with a smile.
"Yeah," Brooke said ringing out some of her hair. "A swim."
"Well, I guess you're all ready to know all about today's challenge."
"It's like you can read minds," Walter said in a low voice.
"Well, today's challenge will be a six part challenge," he said. "Each challenge, the winner will get a small prize, and one of those prizes is immunity. However, once you win a challenge, you may no longer participate in any more challenges. Anyone not."
"And, let us guess, the only person not to win gets a one way ticket off this island?" Todd asked.
"Nope," Chris said. "Afterwards, there will be voting. But, it will be slightly different. Now, on to our first challenge, the balloon toss."
No one moved. "How are we supposed to do that?" Rufus asked. "If you haven't noticed, there's an odd number of us."
"Oh, I almost forgot," Chris said and laughed. "Your partners. Come on out, guys."
"Not until you land this thing!" a very recognizable voice yelled. "I am not jumping out of a helicopter with no landing pad."
"Bring it down, Chef," Chris yelled. The helicopter finally landed and the first out was the speaker moments earlier, LeShawna.
"You are some type of crazy, Chris," she said.
The next out was Duncan. "Hey, thanks for getting me out of juvie, if only for a few days."
"Anytime you want to be humiliated on international television."
"Seriously, Chris, I hate you," Heather said stomping out. Her hair resembled Katie Holmes, if it had been a blind hair dresser who had given her a cut.
"So this is Camp Wawanakwa Two?" Gwen asked. "Definitely not a good idea for me to wear my boots."
"You're gonna sweat off all that make-up Weird Goth Girl," Heather said.
"And I will still look better than you," Gwen said. "All thanks to hairdresser Chef."
"Oh, it's so great to be competing again!" Owen yelled jumping out of the plane. Him landing caused a slight tremble, causing the current campers to all fall.
"Just doing this one last challenge, and then I swear, that's it for me," DJ said climbing out of the plane.
"Hey, lighten up, man," Geoff said climbing out last before Chef. "Come on, it's just like old times."
"Which sucked," Duncan said.
"What do you mean?" Geoff said. "We rocked the camp last time."
"At the near cost of our lives," Gwen said.
"Yeah," LeShawna said. "And I still think I should have won, if it hadn't been for the Playa de Losers voting me off..."
"Sorry," DJ and Geoff said in unison.
"Wait, we're partnered with original campers," Nessa asked.
"Not just any originals," Todd said. "But the final seven... well, eight if you count DJ, seeing as Izzy did get voted off once, we think, but then came back."
"Point is that they were the best seven," Chris said.
"I call being partnered with Duncan," Jamie said.
"Sorry, but you don't get to pick your partners," Chris said. "We've arranged the pairings how we felt were most compatible. So, without further ado, your partners are... Rufus and DJ."
"How are we compatible?" Rufus asked.
Ignoring Rufus, Chris went on, "Nessa and LeShawna."
"White girl better put her all into this."
"Genevieve and Heather."
"Why do I have to get stuck with the biggest of these losers? I'll even take bookworm over her."
"Jamie and Gwen."
"Cool," Jamie said. "My second choice."
"I guess I could work with you. Don't try pulling any moves on me."
"That's quite alright," Jamie said. "I've got a girlfriend."
Confession Cam:
(Jamie) "Oh, Bex, I miss you!"
"Todd and Owen."
"Good to be working with you, Big Guy."
"Awesome!"
"Walter and Geoff."
"Alright, Man!" Geoff held up a hand for a high-five.
Confession Cam:
(Walter) "Oh, yeah, this is real exciting, Geoff. How about Genevieve and I trade partners. I'd rather work with Heather than this idiot. I'd probably do better too."
"Which leaves Brooke and Duncan."
"You've got to be kidding me, right?" Duncan asked. "I'm stuck with this string bean?"
"Hey," Brooke frowned. "I'm obviously not that bad if I've made it this far."
"Yeah, well, let's not forget who won last time," Duncan said. "That's because we kept overlooking him at a threat until he actually was a threat, seeing as he cannot be grossed out in any way possible."
"Anyway, on to the balloon toss," Chris said.
Each team stood four feet apart and each original camper was given a balloon, each in a different color. Red to Genevieve and Heather, orange to Todd and Owen, yellow to Brooke and Duncan, green to Nessa and LeShawna, blue to Jamie and Gwen, indigo to Walter and Geoff, and violet to Rufus and DJ.
Confession Cam:
(Rufus) "Does Chris do everything just to piss me off? It sure seems like it."
(Brooke) "Duncan's kind of scary, like Christie in a bad mood scary. I'm not sure if being his partner is good for my health."
(Todd) "Well, Owen did win the first TDI, but I think it was mostly by dumb luck."
"Okay, and toss," Chris said. All the Caribbean Summer campers successfully caught their balloon without it breaking. Each camper took a step back. "Toss."
This time, LeShawna got soaked as she caught it. "Sorry, my nails must be too long for it."
"Loser," Heather said.
"My nails are more than long enough to scratch your evil eyes out," LeShawna said.
On the third toss, Walter and Brooke both broke their balloons. On the fourth, DJ failed to catch his. The sixth throw soaked Gwen.
Confession Cam:
(Gwen) "The cool water actually felt kind of nice."
(Duncan) "She couldn't catch a balloon properly... okay, maybe I did throw it a little harder than needed."
"We're now down to two teams," Chris said. "Will Owen and Todd win the first challenge, or will Heather and Genevieve prove to be the balloon toss queens? Toss."
Owen and Heather both tossed their balloons to their partner. Todd and Genevieve both reached up, but Owen's toss proved to be just a bit too high and Todd's fingers only brushed against his balloon, and crashed on the ground behind him.
"And the winners are Heather and Genevieve! You each receive an ice cream cone."
Chef stepped off the boat and carried two cones. Genevieve quickly snatched the vanilla one and began licking it like a kid.
"Ew, I don't want this," Heather said. "I want a vacation package! That's the only reason I came, cause you said I could win one."
"But, you didn't now did you?" Chris said.
"If you don't want it, I'll take it," Owen said.
"Whatever," Heather said and walked to the shade. Owen quickly claimed her chocolate cone and tossed the whole thing in his mouth.
"Now, our second challenge is simple to explain," Chris said. "Each pair must catch a fish."
"Using what?" Gwen asked.
"Whatever you can find," Chris said. "But, most likely your bare hands."
Everyone still participating rushed into the water and began trying to grab a fish... all except DJ. He instead calmly walked into the water and held his cupped hands under water and waited. Finally, he stood up, his hands still cupped holding water, and a tiny fish swimming in circles.
"Hey, Chris, look what we got," Rufus yelled when he noticed DJ standing and looked into his hand.
"That was a lot quicker than I expected," Chris said. "Oh well, you each get this!"
Chef came out with two fishbowls, each with a gold fish.
"Awesome," DJ said putting the fish back in the water. "I'm gonna name you Goldie."
"And I'm going to name you shark bait," Rufus said dumping his fish into the ocean. "I'm on a Caribbean island, what use do I have for a fish, Chris?"
"No," DJ quickly caught 'Shark Bait' and put the fish in his bowl with Goldie. "Goldfish are fresh water fish, Rufus. They can't survive in the ocean. And look, they like one another."
"And our third challenge, build a fire."
Nine of the ten still competing ran into the wooded area searching for wood to burn. Duncan walked into the blue tent, and came back out with a pillow. He tossed a few twigs on the beach onto the pillow.
"I guess that a pillow will burn easily," Brooke said as she began searching in the sand for good flint rocks. She had tossed several more pieces of wood on the pillow.
"Hey, I got this covered," Duncan said. He pulled out his lighter, and a moment later, their pile was up in flames.
"And what a surprise," Chris said. "Brooke and Duncan win. And you each get this." He pulled out two envelopes and handed them out.
Duncan ripped his open. "An immunity ticket?"
"Oops," Chris said and swapped their envelopes.
"Wait, I have immunity?" Brooke asked.
"Boo," Rufus growled.
"Which means I probably get..." Duncan opened his envelope and pulled out two cruise tickets. "Vacation, here I come!"
"Hey, there are two tickets there," Heather said. "You don't need both."
"Yeah I do," Duncan said. "Good thing I've got Court's number."
"Thata man," Geoff said and high-fived with Duncan.
"Next, we have the archery contest! First pair with two bulls eye wins."
Through the shooting, Owen managed to shoot his own foot, Jamie hit a bird-camera, Todd shot several arrows that ended up behind him, and both Nessa and LeShawna managed to his bulls eyes, granted, they hit the wrong targets.
"We still both got bulls eyes, Chris!" LeShawna threaten when he didn't declare them to have won the challenge.
"Yeah, I want my crummy prize and out of this challenge for the day."
"Okay!" Chris said. "A lunch for two," he gestured to where Chef had placed out a delectable meal. The two quickly dug in.
Confession Cam:
(Nessa) "Chef actually cooked something good!"
In the two person kayak race around the island, Gwen and Jamie killed so badly that the other two teams seemed to think that it was just them and both came in exhausted, only to find that everyone else had eaten lunch while they were gone and were laughing. Jamie and Gwen each won a gift card to a book store. Jamie gave his to Gwen after deciding he didn't really like book stores.
The final challenge was a tug-o-war contest. Todd and Owen had the strong advantage against Walter and Geoff with Owen's weight and Todd's strength. So, knowing me, you probably think that Walter and Geoff are going to obviously win...
They didn't. The two began the tug-o-war, and then Chris seemed to remember that the two teams hadn't eaten lunch yet.
"Oh, and once one of you wins, you can go eat," Chris called out.
"I'm starved," Owen said and began toward the boat where he could get lunch dragging Walter and Geoff along. Todd didn't even have to hold on. The challenge was over moments later.
"And, as a prize, you also get desert," Chris announced.
"It is now time for voting," Chris said.
"Wait," Brooke called out. "I'm using my ticket from the laser tag challenge, and giving immunity to Todd."
Todd smiled. "Thanks, Brookworm."
Confession Cam:
(Brooke) "I did promise I would use it on him if I felt he was threatened, and with Rufus still on the island, well, he'll get Jamie to vote for him. That would be two against Todd. Plus Nessa and Walter might be swayed by Rufus as well, so I don't want him to go. And now we both have immunity."
"Actually, your immunity goes to Duncan and Owen," Chris said. "Because, today, the original campers get to do the voting. So, guys, for old time's sake, go and vote, then all meet by the campfire in one hour."
Confession Cam:
(Todd) "Well, I doubt they would vote off Owen, so I kind of feel that Brooke wasted her ticket."
(Duncan) "So, we're voting one last time, eh? I gotta say what I think at least two other votes will be."
(LeShawna) "It's time Heather really gets voted off, and not get off by a technicality."
(Gwen) "I never tire of saying I vote Heather off. It's almost a night-time ritual after trying it so many times while on the island."
(Geoff) "Well, it was Heather's idea to vote me off on the island..."
(DJ) "If it hadn't been for green-faced, hairy-legged Heather, I wouldn't have been taken off the island when I was."
(Owen) "Well, she did give me ice cream, but Heather's still mean and scary."
(Heather) "They'll all vote off Owen because he won last time, and about time he gets the boot. He should never have won in the first place. Oh, wait, I can't... damn. Well, LeShawna then."
"Welcome to the dramatic campfire ceremony," Chris said. "Today, seven pairs sit before me, but only six will continue on... well, six newbies will continue on while the rest of you get to go home again."
"Next time do us a favor and warn us before you kidnap us," Gwen said.
"Anyway, marshmallows go to Todd and Brooke," Chris said tossing out four marshmallows to Todd, Brooke, Owen, and Duncan. "Next, Jamie and Rufus." Four more marshmallows went out. "Nessa..." Chris said. Nessa and LeShawna both got their marshmallows.
"Two of you remain," Chris said.
"I know you didn't vote me off," Heather said. "Time and again, you failed to."
"The last marshmallows go to... Walter and Geoff," Chris said.
"What!" Heather shrieked.
"Well, I'll see you all later, I guess," Genevieve said. "It was great being here all this time."
"No, you're supposed to complain," Heather said.
"Let's go for our boat ride," Genevieve said dragging Heather to the Dock of Shame and Boat of Losers.
"No, let me go! I don't get voted off! This isn't supposed to happen!"
