"In today's special episode of Total Drama Island," Chris narrated, "You've been watching Gwen, Heather, Shawn, Mike, Dave and Owen make their way to the Final Six." Shawn ran out of the cabin and puked over the rail while Heather was being chased by a bear. "It's been a long time," Chris continued. "So, we decided to give our weary finalists the day off to contemplate how far they've gotten and to enjoy all the campgrounds have to offer." Gwen and Heather were being chased by the bear. Mike and Dave were sitting on the dock as Owen was swimming in the water. The boys gagged as they saw him surface covered with leeches and his swimming trunks floating in the water. "But what happens to the campers after they walk the Dock of Shame, board the Boat of Losers, and leave the camp?" Chris asked the camera. "Where are these rejects living? How are they spending their time? And who do they think deserves to win the million? The losers are about to let it all hang out. And you won't want to miss a word, coming up on Total...Drama...Island!" He drove off on a speedboat.
(cue commercial)
Chris drove up to a huge resort. "Welcome to Playa de Losers!" he announced. "The all-inclusive resort where our campers are sent after being brutally voted out of the game to lick their wounds and accept their fate as reality-show has-beens." Anne-Maria was busy suntanning while DJ and Topher were relaxing in some lawn chairs, Eva and Jo were busy lifting some dumbbells and B was tinkering with some machinery. "When we are down to our two final competitors," Chris narrated as Justin dove into the pool as Katie, Sadie, Destiny, Greg and Noah looked on, "Their fate will be in the hands of these losers."
"He's so cute!" Sadie sighed before falling into the water and splashing water onto Noah and Greg.
"Get my shirt wet, why don't you?" Noah blandly asked her.
"Sorry, Noah. You guys should come in. It's so nice!" Something below the water crept behind Sadie. "OW!" she cried out. "Something bit me!"
"Was it a shark?" Katie gasped as she pulled up her legs.
"Sharks don't swim in chlorinated water," Greg pointed out as he wiped some water off his glasses.
"Besides," Destiny pointed out, "I saw them getting seaweed wraps with Beth and Dawn." Over by the outside of the pool, Beth, Dawn and two sharks were relaxed in some lawn chairs. "So serene," Dawn sighed.
"If it wasn't a shark," Katie wondered as Sadie climbed out of the pool, "What was it?" The group saw Izzy pop out of the water. "Sorry about that," she told them. "I just had the urge to bite something. Have you ever felt that? Like you just have to sink your teeth into something? Maybe that's how sharks feel, huh?" One of the sharks simply shrugged in response. "Okay, bye!" Izzy dove into the water again. "A bit crazy, or is it just me?" Greg quietly wondered to Destiny.
"Not just you, Greggy," Destiny replied. Over in the hot tub, Ezekiel was lounging on the edge while Rodney and Helga were relaxing together. "As you can see," Chris narrated, "Our losers have made themselves comfortable here." The trio went wide-eyed as they saw Bridgette and Geoff make out in the hot tub. "Looks like Geoff and Bridgette are happy to be reunited."
"Dude," Geoff commented between kisses, "This resort is off the charts!"
"Can you believe this place is right around the corner from that cruddy campground?" Anne-Maria asked. "Ugh, I need to get somewhere sunnier." She walked off. "Miss Vanity makes a valid point," Jo agreed. "This place ain't half-bad."
"Yeah," DJ sighed as Bunny hopped onto his chest. "I could hang here for a while." An eagle snatched the rabbit up. "Oh, no! Bunny!" Bunny fell into a grill before hopping out. "This place is truly wonderful," Leonard commented as he, Cody and Cameron walked over. "After I had healed from that bear attack, I truly began to relish in the nirvana that is this place."
"No kidding," Cody, now slightly pink, agreed. "This is pretty great!"
"Yo, Cody!" Sol shouted off-screen. "You're looking like a boiled lobster. Need some sunscreen?"
"No, thanks. I'm trying to get a tan. It attracts the ladies."
"They sure do," Sierra gushed as she walked over.
"Uh, thanks," Cody nervously replied. "Just don't forget our talk about personal space, okay?"
"Being kicked off wasn't as bad as I thought it would be," Leshawna admitted as she, Zoey, Samey and Sol sat at the edge of the pool. "I just wish those punks Heather and Shawn could've been kicked off before me."
...
The scene flashed back to the cooking challenge. "Miss Queenie thought she could boss us around," Leshawna recalled. The scene flashed back to the mountain race on Pahkitew Island. "And Shawn had the nerve to push a tree onto me!"
...
"Yeah," Zoey nodded in agreement. "Those two have done some mean stuff. But even that aside, I enjoyed my time on the island."
...
The scene flashed back to Zoey's moments on the island, including her interactions with Samey on Pahkitew Island, her competing in the trust challenges, and her time as Commando Zoey.
...
"And I made some great friends, too," she added. "Like Cam and Sammy."
"Despite everything my sister put me through," Samey recalled as the scene flashed back to Amy tormenting Samey during the grease race and Amy using Samey as a shield during the house-building challenge, "I enjoyed my time on the island, too."
"You didn't even deserve to be there!" Amy complained as she stormed over.
"How come?" Sol argued.
"How come?! That witch stole my place!"
...
The scene flashed back to Amy and Samey in the bottom two. "Amy, Samey," Chris had said, "One of you is going home tonight. Amy, you seem more concerned with bossing Samey around than with helping your team." Just then, Amy began to cough and hold her throat as Samey smiled. "And Samey," Chris continued, "It was your balloon that cost your team this challenge. The sister heading home is..." Amy continued to cough as her throat and cheeks swelled up. "Oh, ignore her," Samey told Chris as Amy waved her hand. "She's just trying to get sympathy. Aren't you, Samey?!" Amy tried to argue but couldn't speak. "Can't understand what you're saying, Samey," Chris told Amy, "And it really doesn't matter, cause YOU'VE been voted off!" Amy could only moan as Samey smiled in satisfaction.
...
"That brat didn't deserve to even BE here!" Amy shot back.
"Says you," Leshawna countered. "You kept pushing your own sister around. You're just as bad as Heather!"
"Not to mention you're really petty," Sol added. "You came back to the island twice just to get rid of Sammy."
"I thought she only came back once," Zoey pointed out.
"No, twice. The first time was during the horror-movie challenge, but Mike hurled her off before she could do anything."
"'Just figured it out', he said," Samey muttered under her breath. "Anyway, I made some great friends here such as Zoey and Cameron."
"As for me," Sol put in, "I can't say I did much. That blue-haired demon Echo got me out before I could do anything."
"By the way," Katie asked the group as she and Sadie looked on, "What happened to Echo? I don't see her here."
"She went to prison," Luna suddenly explained as she popped up from the water.
"Prison?" Katie and Sadie wondered in disbelief.
"Why not?" Luna pulled out a megaphone. "CUE THE FLASHBACK!" she yelled through it.
...
The scene flashed back to Echo and Mike in the bottom two and Echo receiving the last marshmallow. "Sorry, Mike," Echo told him. "But it seems like you lost."
"Mike, looks like you're-" Chris began.
"Oh, this little ceremony isn't over yet," Mike interrupted.
"Meaning?"
"You're not the only one with surprises, McLean."
"You lost, Mike," Echo told him as she stood up. "A sad fact. But it just can't be-" A loud siren noise cut her short. "What's that noise?"
"Echo," an officer said as he walked up to her, "You are under arrest."
"Arrest?" Jasmine asked. "What for?"
"Parole violations. We've got an anonymous tip about her stealing some stuff around here, which makes her a parole violator."
"What?!" Echo exclaimed. "I did nothing of the sort!"
"Then explain this," Mike told her as he pulled out a book from his pocket. "A buddy of mine told me I'd find this in a pillowcase on your bed. And inside, it says to return to Luna Monique Beauregard. That proves it's stolen property."
"No!" Echo screamed. "You scribbled it in afterwards! It's mine!"
"So, you're saying this book on dark magic is yours?" Everyone gasped at this. "Looks like Miss Sunshine is more of a solar eclipse," Mike told her.
"You little BRAT!" Echo screamed as she tackled Mike to the ground. The officer pulled her away. "This is far from over!" Echo swore as she tossed her red hair clip at him. "When I'm out of prison, I'll make your life a living nightmare!" Soon, she was wrapped up in a straight-jacket and on a police boat. "Vengeance will be MINE!" Echo shouted. "Oh! And don't trust a word out that sorry son of a-"
...
"So that's what happened to my spell book," Luna realized. "I bet she had lots of FUN with it!"
"Better not let your imagination run wild with that comment," Sol warned the others. Meanwhile, Lindsay and Tyler were relaxing by another pool. "I love being a loser!" Lindsay gushed. "This is so much more my style. If I'd known how fab this place was, I would have gotten my butt kicked off in the first episode. Plus, now Tyler and I can hang out!" She gave Tyler a kiss on the lips. "Which one's Tyler?" she wondered.
"Ha!" Austin laughed as he and Sam walked over to the duo. "Ditzy and Klutzy really are made for each other, huh?"
"Don't mock them, man," Sam scolded. "The dude's patient with her, which is something you have to admire."
"Thanks, man," Tyler told him. "Speaking of relationships, how's things with you and Dakota?"
"They're great. I always stuck by her through thick and thin. She's just so awesome!"
"How's the whole 'mutation thing' going with her?"
"What?" Austin wondered with confusion.
"Didn't you see that?" Tyler asked him.
...
The scene flashed back to Dakota's transformation. Her shoulders grew spikes, she grew a tail, and her green hair grew longer. She growled as she grew in height and her skin turned bright orange, to the shock of her teammates. "SAM!" she bellowed, her transformation complete.
...
"Oh, that," Sam said. "Well, after we were eliminated, Dakota was concerned about her mutated form and wanted to return to normal. I told her she was great no matter what, but if she felt more comfortable like her old self, then I was going to stick by her. But we couldn't do much to fix anything until Sky came here. She used her knowledge of the supernatural to help Dakota out."
"Hey, Sam," Dakota greeted as she walked over, though Tyler, Lindsay and Austin could only gape at her appearance. Dakota looked similar to her normal look, but her blond hair had lime-green streaks in it, her lower arms were tinted a pale orange, she still retained her height and her orange tail, and she was now wearing a pale-pink latex suit and a lime-green necklace. "Hey, Dana," Lindsay said. "You look, uh, different."
"I know," Dakota shrugged. "I get that quite a bit."
"Why ain't ya a huge freak like your boy toy described?" Austin bluntly asked, making Sam nudge him in the stomach.
"It's because of this necklace I have on," Dakota explained as she shot a glare at Austin. "It didn't fix my mutation entirely, but at the very least, I have better control over it. And honestly, I'm happy with it. The main concern I had with my mutation is that I might hurt someone by accident, but thanks to Sky's help, I can let out a breath of relief."
"Where is Sky, anyway?" Tyler asked. Over by a secluded area, Trent was busy reading a book while he fiddled with the umbrella covering the lawn chair he was sitting in. "Hi, Trent," Sky greeted as she walked over. "You doing okay?"
"I don't wanna talk," Trent snapped as he pulled the book closer to his face.
"You're still sore about the whole...situation that happened down in the woods and what happened during the cave challenge and the camping challenge, aren't you?" Trent just glared at her with his red eyes. "Look, I explained the whole thing to my folks once I got my phone back. I told them about your blood substitutes getting stolen and how guilty you felt afterwards, and the Vampire Counsel decided to be lenient with you."
"Really?" Trent wondered in surprise. "From what you told me, they're pretty strict with this stuff."
"Yeah, I was just as surprised when I first heard the news. Anyway, do you want to join the others? They're getting a little concerned about you."
"Um..."
"Move over, Pasty!" Anne-Maria barked out as she shoved Trent from his lawn chair and sat in it. "I'm tanning here now."
"Hey!" Trent complained as he got to his feet. "That was my spot! Give it back!"
"There is no way I'm moving from the perfect spot to tan at, so forget it!" Trent gritted his teeth in anger until an idea came to his head. He quickly changed into a skunk, to Sky's confusion. "What's with the hollering?" Austin wondered as he walked over. "It's too-AGH! POLECAT!" He quickly dashed off, to Anne-Maria's confusion. "Polecat?" she asked. Trent soon sprayed her, making her shriek and run off. "That was a bit excessive, Trent," Sky nasally told him as he hopped into the lawn chair and curled up.
"It was the only thing I could think of," Trent replied as he changed back, though he still had the smell of skunk on him. "Now maybe I can get some peace and quiet." He pulled the umbrella over him, dousing his body in the shade.
"Yo, yo, dawg," Ezekiel announced from the hot tub, "Check it out! Being famous has totally changed my life! I'm just kicking it, yo. Got me some fly bling, too. You like?" He, Geoff and Bridgette heard Izzy cough. "Look!" Izzy exclaimed as she held up the bottom of a green bikini. "Someone's bikini bottom!"
"Don't you mean your bikini bottom?" Greg corrected as he diverted his eyes. Izzy looked down in the water. "Oh, no, it is!" she exclaimed. She dove down into the water, her bare butt exposed.
"This is nice place, no?" Helga asked Rodney as they relaxed in the hot tub.
"No kidding," Rodney agreed as the duo leaned in closer. "And I'm glad I met Helga."
...
The scene flashed back to Rodney and Helga's moments on the island, including them getting out during the balloon challenge and Helga fighting against the mutant beavers and accidentally kicking Rodney in the groin during the relay race. "I'll admit we had our rocky moments," Rodney admitted as the scene flashed back to Helga getting knocked out during the dueling challenge and her tossing the dueling stick at his face. "But we managed to patch things up in the end," he finished as the scene flashed back to Rodney and Helga's make-out during the castaway episode.
...
"Helga glad to meet you, too, teddy bear," Helga told Rodney before she gave him a kiss on the cheek, making him blush.
"Blech!" Max scoffed as he walked over to the duo. "Romance is too trivial for TRUE EVIL such as me!" Helga simply punched him away, knocking him back to the other side of the resort. "That's the tough icicle I fell in love with," Rodney gushed, making Helga smile.
Meanwhile, Courtney was busy skimming through a magazine before she tossed it away. "I don't care how nice this resort is," she declared, "I'm not supposed to be here! After I was kicked off, I found out exactly what went on the night I was eliminated."
...
The scene flashed back to Harold changing the votes in the confessional. "Let's see how you like it when someone messes with your love life," he declared as he swapped the votes with his own.
...
"It was all Harold's fault!" Courtney complained as Phoebe watched the scene with some concern. "I should be in the Final Six right now!" Unknown to the girls, Harold was listening in from the bushes. "When I find the little twerp," Courtney declared, "I'm going to grab hold of him and wring his skinny, awkward little neck!"
"Courtney, please calm down," Phoebe calmly told her. "I know you don't like Harold, but there is no need to get violent."
"You hear me, Harold?!" Courtney shouted, Phoebe's advice falling on deaf ears. "I know you're hiding around here somewhere! He has to come out sometime, and when he does, he's going to get it!" Harold crawled out once Courtney and Phoebe left. "Okay, I guess what I did to Courtney was pretty heinous," he confessed. "It's just that Duncan wouldn't stop bugging me and stuff. But I'm so starving!" His stomach gave a gurgle. Harold looked up and saw Courtney ripping out a lamppost. "This bites!" he moaned.
Beardo was busy munching on some food as he fixed a loudspeaker. "Psst, Beardo," Harold whispered to him. "Slide me some bologna?"
"Meh...what the heck?" Beado decided as he tossed Harold a stack of bologna.
"Just why are you helping that weirdo?" Scott complained as he, Brick and Lightning sat on some chairs.
"Yeah," Lightning agreed, "He's a sha-traitor!"
"Traitor or not, he doesn't deserve to starve," Beardo pointed out.
"And he certainly can't come out here," Brick reminded them. Courtney soon passed them, with Phoebe on her tail. "Let's talk this out, Courtney!" Phoebe begged her.
"Talk about a wuss," Scott sneered.
"Phoebe is NOT a wuss!" Brick argued. "She is one of the most selfless people here. She even quit the competition just to end the Killer Bass's in-fighting."
...
The scene flashed back to the first elimination on Pahkitew Island, with the Killer Bass arguing among themselves. "ENOUGH!" she shouted over the argument. "I will end this here and now! The one going home tonight is ME!" Everyone gasped at this.
...
"I probably took Phoebe's elimination the hardest," Brick sighed. "But what ticked me off was when I discovered that a certain someone convinced her to quit."
"Don't look at me," Scott told him. "That ain't my scheme, though I wish it was." He saw a familiar shark walking towards him. "FANG!" he screamed out before running off. The shark giggled before pulling off its head, revealing itself to be Luna in a Fang costume. "Congrats, Luna," Brick scolded, "You just scarred Scott for the rest of his life."
"Yay!" Luna cheered.
"No, not yay. Scott may not have been the best person around, but he doesn't deserve to get tormented by Fang anymore. Heck, he was forced to ride with Fang on the Hurl of Shame!"
...
The scene flashed back to Scott's elimination. "You see, Scott," Chris told him, "The Hurl of Shame is both shameful and painful. So, I arranged for a friend to share your journey." Scott screamed as Fang hopped into the catapult and took his tooth back from him. "It's my way of saying thanks," Chris continued, "For flinging me into a pit of poo!" He pulled the lever, and Scott and Fang went sailing.
...
"You can't help but feel a little sorry for him," Brick admitted.
"Yeah," Beardo nodded in agreement. "For a little while, he had to be in a trauma chair to heal from what Fang did to him."
"Hey, Beardo, what are you fixing there?"
"Oh, it's just a mini-speaker. I was thinking of giving it to Destiny as thanks for all the help she did."
...
The scene flashed back to Destiny's moments on the island, including her playing her guitar to the squid tree to release her teammates, her soothing the greased pig, her helping Greg out during the runway challenge, and her comforting Dave after Sky was eliminated.
...
"That girl is truly a good friend," Beardo commented.
"Sha-please," Lightning spoke up, "She's a complete sha-pain!"
"She is not! She's one of the nicest people here!"
"While Destiny is no doubt a nice person," Brick cut in, "She's not exactly an angel. She pulled quite a few tricks on the others."
...
The scene flashed back to Destiny's hijinks, including helping Duncan, Scott, Geoff and Austin carry the asleep Harold outside; Destiny and Mike tossing the nightmare-inducing flowers into the bathrooms as Alejandro and Shawn showered; and her and Mike taping the pipe from the sewage tank to the showers while Heather showered.
...
"Okay, fair point," Beardo reluctantly admitted.
"I learned a lot during my experience on the island with Heather," Lindsay said. "If you're going to have a best friend who makes all your decisions for you, you should make sure they're not a total jerk!"
"Yeah, I was pretty shocked to be the third camper voted off," Noah blandly commented. "Apparently, I wasn't bossy, manipulative or dangerous enough to make it through. You can't say I wasn't a team player, though."
...
The scene flashed back to Noah during the dodgeball challenge. "Oh, sorry," he said as he put his book down. "Whoo-hoo, way to throw those murder balls. Go, team, go."
...
"I don't get all the fuss with those losers in the Final Six," Sugar complained. "I should be in the finals! But that fake goody-goody Ella got that scrappy runt Mike to eliminate me!"
...
The scene flashed back to Sugar defending herself against the Killer Bass. "Listen up, fishes!" she told her teammates. "I didn't steal nothing! Ella framed me!"
"Forget that!" Anne-Maria told her as she held up her hairbrush. "You're getting a beatdown!"
"Not before I do!" Destiny told her. Jo blew her whistle to stop them. "This one's mine!" she ordered them.
"Ladies, please!" Greg begged. "Since we found out who the thief is, the best course of action is to boot the thief tonight at the elimination ceremony. Everyone agree?"
"Are we sure Sugar's the thief?" Austin asked. "She seems so sweet."
"You may disagree, but the evidence doesn't lie."
"Obviously, this is a Bass problem," Mike told them, "So if you don't mind, I'll be leaving." Unknown to everyone, he was smirking as he left the cabin.
...
"Yeah, Sugar should be up with them finalists," Austin agreed as he joined Sugar's side. "I even told her to catch the next boat back to the island."
...
The scene flashed back to Sugar returning to the island on a yacht, with flames brewing in the background.
...
"But that idiot Chris booted me again before I could get my revenge!" Sugar complained.
"Oh, quit complaining already!" Jo shouted to her. "I got voted off, but you don't hear me complaining!"
"Who are you and what did you do to Jo?" Greg suspiciously asked her.
"Oh, my gosh!" Sadie squealed. "We have so much to tell you since we've been here!"
"Can I say hi to my peeps back home?" Katie asked. "What's up, Toronto!"
"We're having so much fun here. This resort rocks!"
"Yeah, Total Drama Island was really hard."
...
The scene flashed back to Katie and Sadie's fight during the camping challenge. "We even survived our first major fight," Katie recalled.
"That was so sad," Sadie remembered. "But we totally recovered."
...
"Totally," Katie agreed.
"That sounds majorly harsh," Destiny commented. "Honestly, the hardest thing for me to go through was when Greggy and I were split apart."
"Aw, Desi," Greg gushed.
...
The scene flashed back to Greg leaving the island on the Boat of Losers as Destiny tearfully watched on the Dock of Shame. "I miss you already!" she told him.
"I miss you more!" Greg shouted back.
"No, I miss you more!"
"No, I miss you more!"
"I miss you infinitely more! Bye!"
...
"I'm glad you managed to be strong without me, Desi," Greg told her. "I doubt I could accomplish the same."
"C'mon, Greggy," Destiny encouraged him. "I saw the way you were chatting with SamGuy earlier. You guys can be best buds!"
"The most we have in common is some video game titles, and that's not much."
"Besties don't have to have everything in common. Give him a chance." Destiny tugged Greg over to where Sam was. "Desi, please!" Greg protested.
"I loved my time on the island!" Ella squealed as she skipped over to the buffet table. "I met such wonderful people there and made plenty of friends!"
"Uh, Ella?" Samey pointed out as she and Sol joined her. "Your idea of 'friend' isn't exactly...the best."
...
The scene flashed back to Ella being harassed by Sugar. "Sugar constantly bullied you," Sol pointed out. The scene flashed back to Ella being shoved by Jasmine during the Truth or Scare challenge. "And after Echo's boot, everyone lost any trust they had in you."
...
"Too true," Samey agreed as she nodded her head. "But the biggest and most obvious point was with your disqualification."
...
The scene flashed back to Ella's elimination. "It has come to my attention that a certain singer has sung her swan song," Chris said as he walked over to the Gophers. "Sorry, Ella, but I received an anonymous note about it. Actually, it was an 'anonymouse' note, but whatever. You're going home."
"So I spelled 'anonymouse' wrong," Mike said in the confessional. "Does it matter? Ella is now out of my hair for good!"
...
"I'm not upset at Michael for eliminating me," Ella told Sol and Samey.
"Okay, no one can be that nice!" Sol exclaimed in shock. "Even Dawn lost her cool with Scott, and she's friends with all the mutated fauna!"
"And she had a good reason to get upset," Samey agreed. "Scott threw the challenge and tried to frame her for theft."
"But-" Ella spoke up.
"Forget it," Sol shrugged off as he began to walk off. "It's pointless getting into a fight with you, anyway."
"Hey, guys!" Destiny squealed as she skipped over to the group. "I'm planning to do a concert later, and everyone here is welcome! Even people like Scott!"
"That's wonderful!" Ella gushed. "Maybe Scarlett can enjoy it. Um, where is she? I haven't seen her in a while."
"Uh, Ella?" Samey explained to her. "Scarlett's in the same place as Echo: in prison."
"Yeah," Destiny agreed. "She went all kinds of disturbia on Pahkitew Island."
...
The scene flashed back to Scarlett getting into the main control room. "Welcome, Chris McLean," a voice said as the computer whirred to life.
"The island is mine!" Scarlett declared. "MINE!"
"Don't just sha-stand there, sidekick!" Lightning barked to her. "Step away so Lightning can win!"
"I...am...not...your...SIDEKICK!" Scarlett whipped around, her glasses removed and her hair all flung out. "Uh, you look different," Lightning noticed. Scarlett grabbed him by the cuff of his shirt. "This is the real me," she told him. "The Scarlett I've kept hidden until now. Biding my time, waiting to strike. I...AM...EVIL!" She gave an evil laugh, spookig Lightning.
...
"After she threatened to kill everyone left on the island," Sol explained, "The authorities picked her up and sent her to prison, pending a psychiatric screening. Hey, how come Luna didn't get that?"
"I'm too busy to fuss over something as silly as that," Luna muffled as she looked inside a trash can.
"What's Crazy Girl sha-doing?" Lightning wondered as he joined the group.
"I'm busy looking at alternate worlds," Luna casually explained. "Ooh, this one looks good! In this world, Lightning's the winner of the fourth season of Total Drama!"
"Move it! Lightning wants a piece of that action!" Lightning pushed Luna aside and stuck his head into the trash can. "You have absolutely no shame, Lightning," Samey told him.
"You're not serious, right?" Sol asked Lightning. "You can't be that stupid, right?"
"No, he might actually be that stupid." Samey went wide-eyed as she saw Luna put hot sauce on a hot dog before setting a match to it, making it burst into flames. "SUPER HOT DOG!" she squealed. "AND I'M TALKING IN ALL CAPS!"
"Just...don't ask," Sol breathed out to a confused Samey and Ella.
"Honestly, losing a shot at a million bucks stinks," Jasmine admitted as she, Staci, Alejandro and Topher relaxed in some lawn chairs. "I was planning to use that money to set up a flower shop slash cage-fighting school."
"Who would want to fight flowers?" Topher wondered in confusion.
"She meant that she'll open a place that sells flowers and teaches cage-fighting techniques," Alejandro clarified. "Who knows? Perhaps Shawn might split the winnings if he emerges victorious...though I highly doubt it."
"What's that suppose to mean?" Jasmine bitterly asked as she shoved Staci and Topher aside. "Are you saying Shawn's not loyal to me, because he definitely is!"
"Didn't he abandon you in the horror movie challenge?" Topher pointed out as he got to his feet.
...
The scene flashed back to Jasmine and Shawn being cornered by Chef in his psycho-killer attire. "I'm too young to die!" Shawn cried out. "Take her instead!" He pushed Jasmine at the psycho-killer as he made a break for it.
...
"So the guy's a bit of a coward," Jasmine scoffed. "Besides, I already forgave him for that."
"I did not mean to insult your friend," Alejandro clarified. "I meant that he won't win against my dark angel herself."
"You think Heather will win? Ha! The girl only got that far because of pure luck! At least Shawn has some skills to back him up, which is more than I can say about her."
"It's a known fact that the main antagonist always makes it to at least the Final Five," Topher boasted. "Although I did read a fanfic where the main villain only placed seventh."
"Yeah," Staci put in, "My great-great-great-"
"Nobody cares, you bald blabbermouth!"
"Hey! My hair is starting to grow back some."
"She complained about the bald part?" Jasmine muttered under her breath. She turned to Topher. "And why should you talk?" she scolded to him. "At least I wasn't humiliated before I got the boot."
...
The scene flashed back to Topher's elimination on Pahkitew Island. "Scarlett," Chris announced as he tossed a marshmallow to her. She just blew a raspberry at Topher. "Helga," Chris continued as he passed out the rest of the marshmallows, "Cameron, Heather, Cody, Leshawna, Gwen, Owen, Trent, Zoey, Lightning, Lindsay, Rodney, Jo and Mike, you're safe. And I'm ecstatic to announce that-"
"YOU'VE been eliminated, Chris!" Topher suddenly exclaimed as he went up to him. "Ha!"
"Who, me? Whatever do you mean?"
"Newsflash. Chris is going home, and I'M taking over the show!" Everyone gasped at this as they looked in shock. "I got the phone call from the producers during the challenge. THAT'S why I cheered, and THAT'S why I don't care that we lost, because I am now in charge! Ha! Yes!"
"Oh, Topher," the gruff voice said, to his shock, "Sorry to say, but there's been a change of plans." Topher turned to see Chris in a hat, sunglasses, and a fake beard and mustache. "Huh?" he stuttered. "No, it can't-can't be."
"Here's a lesson," Chris said in his normal voice, "When it comes to showbiz, never play a player." He yanked off his disguise as Chef walked over. "I knew he had my phone all along."
"How did you know he was calling the producers?" Chef asked.
"It's what I would've done."
"But why the sunglasses and fake mustache? He couldn't even see you."
"Dude, it's called 'getting into character'." Topher just stuttered in shock, even as he was in the Cannon of Shame. "You've got a lot to learn, kid!" Chris teased as everyone watched on. "Later!" He pressed a button, and Topher screamed as he was blasted off.
...
"No. Comment," Topher grumbled. Meanwhile, Courtney was poking a bush with her lamppost. "I'm in the middle of filing a lawsuit for wrongful termination of competition," she told the camera, "These people are witnesses! I was unfairly kicked off!"
"I didn't see a thing," Jo shrugged.
"You got me," Sam said.
"Must've missed that episode," Noah blandly commented.
"What's she talking about?" Katie asked Sadie, who only shrugged her shoulders.
"Didn't see it," Eva said as she walked past Courtney with her weights, "Don't care."
"You all know what happened!" Courtney argued.
"Why should you complain?!" Amy angrily scolded. "Spareamy over there cheated me out of-" She was cut off when one of Sol's shoes hit her in the head, knocking her over. "Do't fret, Courtney," Phoebe assured her. "I believe you."
"She should just give it a rest, eh?" Ezekiel suggested as he walked over. "I got kicked off on the first-" Courtney whacked him with the lamppost. "You would've gotten kicked off in a few episodes," Greg pointed out as he and Lindsay joined the group. "Even people like Jo are more well-liked."
"That is so not true!" Courtney argued. "Everyone likes me! I used to be a C.I.T.!" A coconut hit her on the head, which Greg caught. "A coconut?" Greg wondered. "This is Canada, not Guam! If you're going to hit the aspiring lawyer with props, at least have the decency to make them geographically correct!" A mound of snow covered the duo, along with a sled with a small person on it sliding off of the mound of snow. "Are you Tyler?" she asked him.
"This isn't funny anymore," Greg muffled under the snow as Phoebe started to dig them out.
"How would I characterize my experience?" Eva commented as she plated some steak. "Easy. It sucked."
...
The scene flashed back to Eva chomping at Greg and Destiny as they tried to go near her MP3 player, and Eva trying to sabotage Heather, Mike, Alejandro and Destiny during the foot race on Pahkitew Island.
...
"My anger management issues improved a bit," Eva said.
"Are you Tyler?" Lindsay asked her. Eva just slapped her face with a steak.
"Did I get anything out of this experience?" Noah wondered as he looked up from his book. "No. It was completely and totally uneventful."
"He kissed a guy," Izzy commented as she rose out of the water with a harpoon.
"No, I didn't."
"Yes, you did."
"Didn't!"
"Did."
"Did. Not!"
"Did, did, did-did-did-did-did..."
"Fret not," Leonard interrupted. "I shall break this tie. He totally did."
...
The scene flashed back to the Awake-a-Thon. Noah was still asleep but he was kissing Cody's ear. The duo woke up and screamed before running off in opposite directions.
...
"I have no comment," Noah decided.
"Oh, my gosh!" Lindsay exclaimed as she ran over. "Oh, my gosh! I got a letter from my sister that says there's a picture of me in Star Stalker Magazine! EEE!" Katie, Sadie and Leonard squealed with her. "Eee," Noah sarcastically joined in, "Congratulations. You just peaked. It's all downhill from here, honey."
"Maybe if I get my nails, hair and boobs done," Lindsay added, "I'll get on the cover!"
"Thou shall not attempt that," Leonard countered. "You are oozing beauty, like Freya, the Norse goddess of love!"
"Hey, guys?" Sky asked as she and Destiny walked over to the group. "Can I ask one of you to convince Trent to join us? I tried, but it didn't work."
"Relax," Leonard assured her, "For I have already sent a strong warrior to aid your quest. I am convinced Duncan shall sway Trent to our side."
"Jidiot," Destiny scolded him. "Sending Duncan to talk to Trent is like allying with Bill Cipher. Bawful idea." Over by the shaded area, Trent noticed Duncan walking towards him. "Oh, great," Trent grumbled. "Just who I wanted to see."
"If it isn't Mister Cheerful himself," Duncan teased. "Why aren't you hanging out with the others?" He took a whiff. "And why do you smell like Owen's butt?"
"Careful of that feller!" Austin shouted off-screen. "He can turn into a polecat!"
"Did you understand any of that?"
"Could you please just buzz off?" Trent bitterly asked Duncan.
"I'll get you out of that spot even if I have to drag you out," Duncan countered.
"Forget it, Mister Macho! You can't make me."
"Oh, yes, I can, Skunky!"
"AHEM!" The boys turned to see Destiny staring at them, her arms crossed.
"Those two boys have been at each other's throats for a while," Sky noted to the others. "It even got physical once or twice."
"Will they be okay?" Sadie asked with concern. The group watched with surprise as Destiny dragged Duncan and Trent over by their arms. "You two better behave," she scolded. "Or there will be trouble. Got that?"
"Yes, mom," the boys replied with annoyance. Destiny just tossed the duo into the water. "It's for your own good," she told them. "Especially you, Trent. At least the water washed the scent of War off of you. You got them under control, Firefly? I have to prep for my concert this evening."
"I'm good," Sky replied as Trent and Duncan pulled themselves out of the water. Destiny then skipped off. "Thine maiden certainly has power to rival that of Sir Galahad," Leonard pointed out.
"She's no damsel-in-distress," Noah commented.
"So Sky," Chris began, "If you can say something to one of the six remaining campers, what would it be?" Sky got a nervous look before answering. "I guess I would tell Dave I was rooting for him," she said, "And...I miss him."
...
The scene flashed back to Sky's elimination. "I want you to be tough and fight til the end," she told the saddened Dave. "For both of us. I'll be watching and cheering for you back home."
"I guess Dave is okay," Sky commented in the confessional. "Okay, he's more than okay, he's incredible!"
"Sky," Dave asked in a romantic tone. Sky opened her eyes to see Dave without a shirt and with abs. "Will you be my vampire queen?" He held out a diamond ring.
...
"He's special," Sky admitted, "And...I love him."
"Aw..." Katie and Sadie gushed.
"Honestly, I'm relieved that he didn't hold a grudge against me with the whole Alejandro thing."
"I would be," Sugar interrupted as she swam by. "If he were me and you was you, you'd be dead!"
"Uh, don't you think that's a bit much?" Trent wondered.
"She smooched that scrap's mortal enemy!"
"Scrap?!" Sky angrily scolded.
"It wasn't her fault," Trent argued, "She was tricked!"
"Yeah, yeah," Sugar scoffed. "That's what they all say. My lips did what they wanted. My lips have a mind of their own. Blah, blah, blah, blah, fishcakes, blah, blah, blah, I'm a liar, blah, blah, blah!" The others stared at her in confusion. "Okay," Trent slowly said.
"Now if you'll excuse me," Sugar told them, "I have to go to the bathroom." She stood in place for a moment. The others looked at her, puzzled. Sugar then sighed in relief. Everyone else quickly pulled their feet out of the water in disgust. "Ew, Sugar!" Trent cried out.
"Could you get any more gross?" Duncan gagged.
"It's chloronated water," Sugar told them. "You guys would never win an Easter egg hunt on my farm." She dove back into the water.
"And there you have it," Chris narrated. "Stay tuned to hear the answer to the questions everone want to know: what do the losers think of the Final Six and who will they vote to win? These answers and more coming up."
(cue commercial)
"Okay," Chris narrated, "You've seen how the losers are spending their time. Now it's time to find out what they think of the Final Six."
"Heather can kiss my butt," Eva told the camera. "It's all her fault I'm stuck in this place. She's a scum-sucking, backstabbing witch and I'm gonna enjoy watching her go down!"
"Wow. Tell us how you really feel."
"I just did." Meanwhile, Izzy was putting a few coconuts on the grill. "Just putting a few shrimps on the barbie," she teased. "Hey, Noah, that means you. Just kidding, okay. Well, I think Heather is a total psycho."
"She kinda reminds me of Hiyoko Saionji," Destiny noted as she tuned her guitar, "Except a bit taller."
"She seems like your typical high-school mean girl," Beardo pointed out as he fixed a speaker.
"Only the lowest snakes from the Underworld would root for her," Greg commented as he connected some wires.
"They might as well hand that check over to Heather now," Alejandro declared. "She can easily crush the remaining competitors."
"The prosecution rests."
"You have to admit that Heather is a formidable competitor," Courtney noted as she and Phoebe walked around.
"Formidable or not, I don't approve of her tactics," Phoebe commented.
...
The scene flashed back to Heather reading Gwen's diary. "I mean, reading Gwen's diary on national television?" Phoebe wondered.
...
"That is just uncalled for," Phoebe said. A nearby bush rustled as she and Courtney walked off. "Heather was definitely one of the scariest female on the island," Harold whispered, "But I can handle her." A branch creaked close by. "Did you hear something?"
"There you are, you little traitor!" Courtney scolded as she whacked Harold with her lamppost.
"Poor guy," Sam commented as he and Dakota looked on.
"Glad she wasn't my C.I.T., " Dakota said.
"So, Sam, Dakota," Chris told them, "Give us your take on Heather."
"I hope I never see anyone like her ever again," Sam noted.
"That girl is the definition of the word 'mean'," Dakota agreed.
...
The scene flashed back to Heather's moments on the island. "I'm calling my parents," she decided on the first day of camp. "You can not make me stay here."
"Great," she scolded to her team during the cooking challenge. "That's just great! Why do we keep losing, people?!"
"And here I thought some of you geeks had some class," she scoffed at the Bass as she saw their costumes.
"Why don't you dodge this?!" she replied as she tossed a kayak at Tyler.
"I had to take the leadership role," Heather said in the confessional. "Hello! We're on a losing streak! And really, everyone else on the team is pretty useless."
...
"She was a bit bossy," Sierra noted as she, Cody, B and Leshawna sat around the pool.
"A bit?!" Leshawna scolded. "She was completely bossy!"
...
The scene switched to more of Heather's moments. "Beth, Lindsay," she told the girls, "Go warm up the shower for me. Now!"
"Go get me some chips," she ordered to Beth.
"In the forest?" Beth wondered.
"In the dining hall. Now."
"Go get my make-up bag from the cabin!" Heather screamed at Owen.
"But...the bees..." Owen gulped.
"Now!"
...
"Telling her off," Beth recalled as the scene flashed back to Beth and Heather's argument in the forest, "Was the best moment in my life!"
"The only moment I enjoyed with that cow was locking her in the fridge," Leshawna told the others.
...
The scene flashed back to Heather getting locked in the fridge after Echo tossed her make-up bag in there.
...
"Heather's conniving," Jo listed off, "Mean, deceitful...my kind of competitor. Except for those girly short-shorts."
"I don't think she's that bad," Ella defended. "She was able to find true love with Alejandro."
"And I will give her credit for one thing," Brick noted, "She doesn't make things personal with the people she eliminated. Unlike some people." He glared at Alejandro as he said this. "You're just upset that he got your girlfriend voted off," Jo teased.
"Phoebe isn't my girlfriend," Brick argued.
"Is."
"Not."
"Is."
"Not!"
"How long will they keep that up?" Samey asked Sol.
"A few hours, at least," Sol shrugged.
"Anyway, how did Heather get into the Final Six if very few people liked her?"
"Because she's a conniving, backstabbing little witch, that's what!" Eva shouted off-screen.
"While Heather is mean," Cameron noted, "She has a few morals. But you can't argue that for Shawn."
...
The scene flashed back to Shawn's moments on the island. "He purposely blurted Sky's secret to the whole team," Cameron recalled, "He shoved Jasmine into the hands of that psycho-killer..."
"I said I forgave that already!" Jasmine shouted off-screen.
The scene shifted to Shawn and Alejandro chatting during the key hunt. "He and Alejandro were the ones to orchestrate Sky's elimination," Cameron noted. The scene then shifted to Shawn pulling Mike over. "But the worst thing he did was blackmailing Mike into helping him win immunity," Cameron finished.
...
"I still think Shawn will win it," Jasmine defended.
"If it comes down to a vote," Zoey countered as she, Samey and Sol walked up to her, "Then he'll be in the bottom two with Heather. What do you even like in him?"
"There comes a time in every girl's life where she has to stop whining about her boyfriend's monster obsession and realize she has odd taste in men. Guess that applies to you, too since you decided to hook up with that runty mutt." Zoey went wide-eyed before she tried to go after Jasmine, with Sol and Samey holding her back. "Calm down, Zoey," Samey warned her. "She's trying to get under your skin." The duo had to carry her off.
"Shawn?" Sky wondered as she and Trent sat at the tiki bar. "He's a complete bully! And he only got as far as he did due to circumstance."
"I didn't have as bad of a conflict as Sky, Dave and Destiny did," Trent noted, "But the guy sure knows how to rub you the wrong way."
"You and him made it to the finale," Luna suddenly told Sky.
"What?! I'm here! The finale hasn't happen yet!"
"Not here, of course. In an alternate universe. You and Dave split apart, and Shawn ended up winning a million bucks!"
"Remind me to never visit that universe." Meanwhile, Harold was up in a tree, with the lamppost around his body. "Shawn's a jerk," he commented, "But Duncan's a bigger jerk."
...
The scene flashed back to Duncan's pranks on Harold. "He made me pee my pants. He drew on my face with a marker. He strung my underwear up a flagpole, put hot sauce in them, and fed them to me for lunch in an underwear sandwich!"
...
"He's beyond annoying," Harold scolded. "Idiot!" He soon fell out of the tree.
"If I had a dollar for every time Destiny hit Shawn," Greg noted, "I wouldn't need the prize money."
"No kidding," Beardo agreed. "She was pretty irm on her views on Shawn. Though all those hits to the groin must've hurt. Ouch."
"Who would I pick to win?" Zoey wondered.
...
The scene flashed back to Zoey and Mike's moments. "I know I sound cheesy," Zoey commented as the scene flashed back to her kissing Mike on the cheek during the go-kart race, "But I would have to pick...Mike."
...
"Don't go and make a big deal out of it, though," Zoey whispered to the camera.
"Oh, we already know," Izzy cut in as almost everyone listened in. "You were all over him."
"My golden lab drools less over a ribeye steak," Noah put in.
"And...we eavesdropped again," Lindsay said, making Zoey face-palm.
"You have to admit that Mike's a tough dude," DJ said as he stroked the bandaged Bunny. "Cody told me he and the other Gophers saw him wrestle a grizzly bear to the ground!" He slammed his fist on the table that Bunny was on, sending him flying. "Oh, no!" Dawn managed to catch the rabbit in her hands. "Easy," she assured him, "It was an accident. Well, I believe he does deserve a chance to win, but his mind may be too clouded for him to get any farther."
"What do you mean?" Samey wondered as she walked over.
"Don't you know already?" Destiny asked her. Samey shook her head. "Gurgling Gill Grunt, how did you get out of the loop?" Destiny wondered. "Anyway, Mike hasn't been thinking straight since Zoey's elimination, if you can call it that. Someone tampered with the votes to get rid of her."
"Shawn probably did it," Samey decided. "He has the most to gain with them split apart."
"That jidiot is actually innocent in this. Just before the challenge that got me eliminated, I figured out exactly who caused Zoey's elimination."
...
The scene flashed back to Destiny watching the monitors and gasping in shock as she watched Bryan's deeds, from stealing the bolts from her bike to tampering with the votes.
...
"That wevil intern Bryan got sweet Zoey kicked off!" Destiny complained.
"Didn't you tell Mike about this?" Samey asked her.
"Unfortunately, Bryan got to his head first. I found that out after I got the boot. It's like Mike's the puppet on Bryan's strings."
"Man, the irony hurts."
"Oh, come ON!" Sugar complained. "That Ella-loving rat had that coming and more!"
"That is SO not true!" Samey argued. "Mike may not be Mister Perfect, but he's certainly nicer than people like you!"
"Yeah," Destiny agreed. "He doesn't deserve that."
"Like Lamey Samey and the Ditsy Diva should talk!" Sugar spat back. Samey tried to go near her but Destiny stopped her. "Let me take care of this," she assured her. Destiny screamed as she tackled Sugar and began to fight with her.
"Mike's not all that bad," Bridgette said as she, Geoff, Rodney and Helga relaxed in the hot tub. "Zoey told me he has a sweet side to him." Ezekiel tried to slide near them but a look from the girls made him back away.
"If I had to sum him up," Sky commented, "I'd say he's like a pickle: once you get past the tough outside and bitter taste, you really enjoy the soft center and sweet aftertaste."
"Wow, how creative," Duncan teased as he rolled his eyes.
"Lay off of her, man," Trent scolded.
"Oh, listen to Mister Social now."
"Don't make me call Destiny over," Sky warned the boys, ceasing any fighting. "Then again, that probably wasn't the best analogy. Trent, what's your thoughts on Mike?"
"I was honestly confused on why he suddenly became hostile with me," Trent admitted, "But I soon found out that he was just trying to be protective of the people he cared about. As Helga would put it, 'Skinny Man like polar bear protecting cub'." The trio gasped as one of Helga's boots smashed through the glass Trent was holding. "Okay," Trent gulped, "Don't imitate Helga ever again. Got it."
"You have to admit that Mike's a pretty brave man," Brick acknowledged.
"Ha!" Jo scoffed. "Did you see him during the Phobia Factor challenge? He's a wuss."
"I'd say that ws more of a reaction to pain than an actual fear," Cameron defended as he walked over. "It's a known fact that silver burns a lycanthrophe's skin."
"Lick-a-rope?"
"He's a werewolf, Man Lady," Greg said with annoyance. Jo threw her glass at his head, knocking him over. "Quiet, wise guy!" she scolded.
"Technicalities aside," Cameron cut in, "That wasn't his worst fear. His worst fear is seeing the people he cares about get hurt because of him."
"I saw that," Brick told him.
...
The scene shifted to the gladiator battle. Mike was fighting the onslaughter of robots, unaware that Cameron was rushing towards him. As Mike sliced through Android Ezekiel, he accidentally sliced through Cameron's armor and cut his skin. Time seemed to slow down as Mike could only watch in horror as Cameron collapsed.
...
"It was just so heartbreaking to see," Brick gulped as he wiped away a tear.
"Owen was so much fun!" Katie squealed.
"He was kinda mean during the dodgeball game," Sadie pointed out.
"Oh, I know."
...
The scene shifted to the dodgeball game. "Game on!" Owen shouted as he grabbed a ball from Staci and threw it at Katie and Sadie.
...
"He's not so bad," Trent agreed.
"But we already know who Leech wants to win," Duncan teased.
"Yeah, Gwen's definitely my choice."
"Okay, but come on!" Courtney complained. "She's smart, but she's not exactly a team player. I was a team player. It should be me!"
"You're here," Noah told her, "You lost. Get over it!" Courtney and Duncan tossed their glasses at him, making him fall into the water. "She let herself get buried alive for her team," Trent told Courtney.
...
The scene shifted to Gwen's part of the Phobia challenge. "Goodbye, cruel world," she said as the box was closed and she started to get covered with sand.
...
"She was kinda harsh sometimes," Lindsay admitted as she rubbed some sunscreen on her legs.
"Gwen just follows her own path," Samey replied as she and Leshawna joined her.
"True that," Leshawna agreed. "And she and Mike played the best prank on those witches Heather and Echo!"
...
The scene shifted to after the talent contest. Gwen and Mike knocked on the door of the boys' side of the Killer Bass cabin. Harold and Brick opened it up. "Hi, Mike," Brick greeted. "Uh, are you still ticked about...you know?"
"Harold," Gwen asked, ignoring him, "Did you say you brought a red ant farm with you?"
"Yes," Harold replied.
"Yep, you two are mad," Brick muttered as he backed away. A few minutes later, Heather and Echo, in their pajamas, were running out of the cabin, screaming as red ants crawled over them.
...
"Well, I think Gwen's really cool," Bridgette said. "She's my choice to win."
"I think that Big Guy and Wolf Boy are my choices," Helga decided. "They are both fierce competitors and strong fighters. Either of them deserve to win." She heard Max snickering and saw his purple hair sticking out of the water and inching closer. Helga slammed her fist onto his head, making him sink down.
"Okay, let's talk about Dan," Lindsay said.
"DAVE!" everybody else corrected.
"Dave was certainly one of the more 'normal' people on the island," Sol commented. "And I'll be honest: normal people don't usually last long on shows like this. Granted, the guy certainly proved me wrong."
"The author obviously favored people like him," Luna suddenly spoke up as she carried an alligator on her shoulders. "And completely despises people like Sugar and Max and Staci and-"
"Luna! How many times must I say it?! Respect the fourth wall! It's there for a reason!"
"Ignore him," Luna whispered to the camera. "He's loony."
"Like you're one to talk!" Luna swung the alligator at Sol, knocking him away. "Good job, Mister Big Teeths!" she squealed as she hugged it tightly.
"I am so glad that Dave and Sky were able to reunite," Dawn said. "I just knew that the duo were destined to be together."
"I can relate," Harold groaned, catching Dawn's attention. She noticed him lying on the ground. "I felt the same about Leshawna," Harold continued. "At first, I thought she was real loud, but then, I realized she's my soul mate."
"Come on, Harold," Dawn told him as she struggled to help him up. "Let's get you all healed. Um, a little help, please?"
"I can't really say anything bad about Dave," Jo admitted, "And I excel at saying bad things about people."
"I can," Austin put in. "He's such a whiner!"
...
"Butt germs!" Dave shouted as he waved his arms around and ran around the room.
"No, not swiller!" Dave complained after Destiny pulled out a bucket of glitter.
"I can taste your burp in my eyes," Dave squeaked out as Sky covered her mouth.
"Very funny," Dave told everyone as DJ and Shawn held him. "Ha ha. If you do this, I'll sue!"
"Stop!" Dave cut in as he covered his ears. "I don't want another Rodney-and-Helga-like scene in my head!"
...
"The shrimp's pretty flakey," Duncan commented.
"That only happened once!" Sky retaliated. "Dave is more than capable of holding his ground."
"Whatever floats your boat, Vampirella."
"Knock it off, you punk!" Trent scolded as he slapped Duncan away.
"Like you're Mister Perfect," Duncan whipped back as he slapped Trent back. He got a surprised look as Trent gritted his fangs and tackled him into the water. Sky had to fly away to avoid landing in the water with them. "Destiny!" she shouted. "A little help here!"
Later that evening, everyone was sitting around the pool. As Destiny strummed on her guitar, she noticed the sunburned Cody walking up. "Codemeister!" she gasped. "You got scurned!"
"No kidding," Greg agreed. "You got cooked today!"
"Who, me?" Cody wondered. As he sat down, he winced in pain. "Why should you complain?" Anne-Maria shot at him as she dried her hair with a towel. "I had to take three showers after what Stinkface did!"
"I asked you more than once to leave me alone," Trent defended.
"What's with the bruises?" Samey wondered as she saw the dark marks on Trent's face.
"The reason that we had to keep him separate from him," Sky answered as she pointed to Duncan, who also had some bruises.
"You two never learn, do you?" Leshawna asked the boys, making them turn away in embarrassment.
"So," DJ began, "Who do you guys want to win if you can vote right now?"
"Can I pick Sadie?" Katie asked.
"Aw," Sadie replied, "You'd pick me and not you?"
"Duh, you can't for yourself. That's tacky."
"Okay, I'll vote for you to win, and you vote for me to win!"
"That's a nice gesture," Greg pointed out, "But you have to be in the Final Six to qualify. Plus, knowing Chris, it might not come down to a vote."
"If it is," Cody put in, "I want Gwen to win."
"Really?" Austin wondered. "But ain't she the gal that rejected you on worldwide TV?"
"Thanks for pointing that out," Cody said. "Gwen is my dream girl. I'm just not her dream guy. But if she's happy, I'm happy."
"That's so noble of you, Cody-kins," Sierra gushed. She gave him a hug, but he screamed in pain from his sunburn. "Oops," Sierra meekly apologized. "I'll get some lotion for that."
"I can't decide between Dave and Gwen," Dakota admitted. "They're both pretty cool."
"I'm more on Dave's side than Gwen's, honestly," Sam nervously said.
"Dave," Harold nodded. "Definitely."
"But you'd vote for Shawn, right?" Jasmine asked him in a threatening tone.
"Why would I do that?"
"Because if you don't, I'm going to post all your little love letters to Leshawna on the internet." Harold's eyes shrank at these words. "Fine," he gave in, "I'll vote for Shawn." As Jasmine turned her head, he snickered, "Not!"
"I think Owen should win!" Beth declared.
"He's a ticking time bomb on noxious fumes," Noah said.
...
The scene flashed back to all the times Owen farted.
...
"Owen," Geoff agreed. "Definitely!"
...
The scene flashed back to Owen burping the alphabet. "Dude can chug three liters of pop in under a minute," Geoff recalled. "He deserves the mil."
...
"But you guys aren't giving Mike enough credit," Cameron acknowledged.
...
The scene flashed back to all of Mike's different plans, including tossing the Canis Bloom flower in the fire during the second camping challenge and the gladiator fight between him and Shawn. "Not only is he a powerhouse," Cameron recalled, "But he's also quite the strategist."
...
"In fact," Cameron added, "He had a part in eliminating most of the bad guys in one way or another. Echo, Scott, Scarlett, Alejandro, Jo..."
"Major skills in the strength department," Jo began, "But not afraid to be smart and crafty. He obviously got that from me."
"And she's back to her usual, prideful and bossy self," Greg grumbled.
"I think Davey should win," Destiny said. "Like to blalk more, but I have a show to do." Before she could play a single note, a puff of blue smoke suddenly appeared. "Okay, who sneaked in the pyrotechnics?" Destiny asked. "Luna, I'm looking at you."
"Hello, losers," Chris announced as the smoke cleared. "It is time for the most unexpected twist of all time! Tonight, you will be voting the next camper off Total Drama Island!"
"No way," Lindsay gasped.
"Oh, yes."
"This sounds too good to be true," Greg whispered to Destiny. "Expect some sort of catch."
"Here's how it's gonna work," Chris announced. "There are no marshmallows. I'm going to ask you one-by-one who'd you like to see join you here tonight at Playa de Losers. First name to eleven votes gets to join you. Lightning, since you were forced to share a loser transport with Scarlett, I'll compensate by letting you go first."
"Lightning's always first!" Lightning bragged.
"You didn't even get the top ten, Brightning," Greg pointed out.
"Lightning," Chris continued, "Who would you like to vote for?"
"It is no surprise to the Lightning that he votes for Owen," Lightning decided as a ding! sounded out. "I always had sha-fun with the big guy!"
"I think you misunderstood the question," Greg pointed out.
"I miss Owen the most!" Sadie exclaimed as another ding! sounded.
"He was so much fun," Katie agreed. "Definitely Owen!" Ding! Everyone gasped at their answers. "What are you guys doing?" Samey asked them. "If you like Owen-" Ding! "Then don't vote for him!"
"That's four votes for Owen," Chris announced.
"But I didn't vote yet!" Samey protested.
"Leave it to Spareamy to make things worse," Amy scolded. She shoved Samey, and the twins had a slap fight until they fell into the pool. "Good one, Sammy!" Sol cheered on.
"Okay," Chris continued, "Austin, you're up next."
"Don't fret," Austin assured them, "I ain't gonna vote for no Owen." Ding! "Austin!" DJ scolded.
"Not me," Austin shot back. "One of the Final Six, like Owen." Ding! "Come on, guys," Izzy encouraged, "NO ONE SAY OWEN!" Ding! Izzy covered her mouth. "Awk!" a parrot cawed. "Owen!" Ding! "No!" most of the campers exclaimed.
"Eight votes for Owen," Chris continued.
"That was a parrot," Sky corrected, "And I know it's not Trent over there, so its vote for Owen shouldn't count!" Ding! "Awk!" the parrot cawed again. "Polly want an Owen!" Ding! "Ten votes," Chris continued.
"Prep the Boat of Losers," Luna giggled. "For the sake of the plot of this story, the eliminated person here is Owen. DING!"
"LUNA!" everyone else protested.
"Too late to change it," Chris announced. "Owen now has the required eleven votes." Later, Chef pushed Owen down the Dock of Shame. "What are you doing?" Owen asked him.
"Losers decided to vote you off," Chef replied.
"Aw, man. Will there be food?"
"Why don't you find out?" Chef pushed him onto the Boat of Losers. Soon, Chris and Owen were standing on the dock of Playa de Losers. "And with that, we are down to five," Chris narrated. "Tune in next time to see the dramatic, almost-conclusion of Total...Drama...Island!"
"Awk!" the parrot repeated. "Owen!"
And here's the next chapter. And brace yourself, because this chapter has over 11,000 words to it. The first thing you'll notice is that I did an intro, which I usually don't do in the Island story. But like the pilot, it's kind of a necessity. The only other time I might do this is in the finale, so there's your heads-up.
Next, the elimination. People have asked in the reviews what Owen's role is after the merge, and I decided that he would be the best fit for the more infamous 'parrot plot'. He's okay as a finalist in canon, as I enjoyed a similar character getting to the finale in another fanfic, but I think other characters other than Owen that could fit the finalist tier better.
I kept most of the story similar to canon, but I added some of my twists to it, though I can't recall all of them here.
The next challenge will send the Final Five up, up and away into the maws of mutant mountain goats. Until next time, this is Dunsparce519 saying enjoy and have a happy and safe Fourth of July!
