Chapter 8B: Detroit Elimination
Everyone situated themselves in a seemingly crowded elimination area. Chris started to explain the ceremony. "Everyone here's voted, and tonight, someone else goes home. The decision tonight decides not only who goes home, but also who becomes the first jury member." Chris opened a shoebox filled with eight Detroit Lions shirts. "Detroit is known for its crappy football team, and with Xander gone, I don't have to worry about him throwing me off the plane. We're talking about a football team so bad, that Detroit refuses to air their games on TV."
"Can I check?" Leilene interrupted.
"No, I already have. Since we're still in Detroit airspace, the TV channels don't air Lions games. Anyway, Jake and Dakota get their shirts first since they're immune." Both guys receive their new shirts, and immediately throw them off the plane.
"Cool, guys. Who would want to support the Lions?" Logan jokingly asked.
"Next up is Josh, who didn't get any votes." Josh received his shirt, and tossed it aside. "Michelle, Samantha, and Holly, you three are also safe." It was down to Jasper, Leilene, and Logan. "Which one of you three is safe? Hard to tell isn't it?"
"Can you just get to the point?" Leilene was getting jittery.
"Fine. All three of you tied."
"What?" All three of them questioned in unison.
"Yeah. Each of you got two votes. That means all three of you tied. Now for a tiebreaker."
"What's he going to make us do?" Logan asked to Jasper.
"Dunno."
"Each of you has to hold on to a bag of Chris Money while the other contestants try and steal it. The first person to lose their Chris Money gets eliminated and sent to New York where the Aftermaths happen."
"Didn't you have that two years ago?" Holly asked.
"No, Holly. That was Chris Cash. Chris Money is worth even less. Well, three people on elimination probation, here's your bags!" Chris handed out three bags of Chris Money to each of the three contestants. "Everyone, start stealing that money!" Everyone else got up and the whole frenzy began. Logan, Leilene, and Jasper kept running away from the others while they kept chasing the money. Eventually, Leilene tripped, spilling the Chris Money all over the elimination area's floor.
***Confessional***
Leilene: If Chris Money was real, I'd be a millionaire already. I wouldn't have to play this game.
***Back to Game***
Leilene tried to scoop as much Chris Money as she could, but it was too late. Chris declared her eliminated. "I tried so hard, for me, my brother, everyone," She said, almost crying in tears. "Come on, tough girl."
"I'll win it for you." Jasper said to her in an attempt to comfort her.
"Come here, you." Leilene grabbed Jasper and gave him the biggest kiss she could. Everyone was shocked as to what happened, except for Chris who was ready to throw Leilene off his plane. In fact, everyone except Chris hugged Leilene goodbye as she prepared to jump off. "Goodbye, everyone. Jazz, win this for me, and learn to stand up for yourself." Leilene picked out a parachute and jumped off of the plane.
The entire plane was silent. Chris headed to the cockpit to sign off. "With our first member of the jury, and eight contestants left, will Jake pull off a diabolical plan? Will Jasper learn to fend for himself? Will Chef learn how to make my coffee correctly? And most importantly, will everyone prepare for the new challenge next week? All of these questions answered and more on Total Drama American Tour!"
AN: Aftermath in three episodes. That means two more, then the Aftermath. Leilene is part of the jury, so she votes for the winner when two contestants are left.
