Contestants: Leshawna, Max, Dawn, Tyler, Courtney
Eliminated: Sam, Sadie, Rodney, Katie, Anne Maria, Leonard, Scott, Ezekiel, Eva, Staci, Dakota, Noah, Brick, Sugar, Beardo
"Last time, on Total Drama: Redemption...In a series of challenges, the contestants competed in teams of two. Max convinced Beardo to use his impressions for 'evil' which turned Courtney and Leshawna against each other. After Courtney and Tyler managed to pull off a win. Dawn filled them in on the truth and everyone turned on Beardo, getting him sent home again." Chris gives the camera his signature grin. "And starting today, each eliminated contestant will recieve a consolation prize! What will it be? And who will get the first one? Find out right now on Total, Drama, REDEMPTION!"
Max is sitting alone on a bench in the middle of camp. He is tightening a screw on a small remote control for the remote control car that has a small plastic tube on the top. With an evil grin he presses the red button on the remote and the tube splashes water in the dirt in front of the car.
"Excellent!" he yells to himself. "Now I can soak the socks of all who oppose me!" He pauses for a second and sighs.
CONFESSIONAL: MAX
"Last time I was on this show I was much more devious," the villain explains. "I created a helmet to turn animals evil! And now? I'm reduced to creating a remote control water gun! I hate to admit it, but I may owe some, only some, of my success to having a sidekick...Hm, I'll need one who won't try to kill me. Unfortunately, everyone left shows no potential!"
Out of frustration, Max throws the remote on the ground, smashing it. The RC car shakes a bit and speeds off erratically on its own. It zips between Courtney and Leshawna, firing water randomly and soaking Courtney's legs.
"Ew!" Courtney shouts. "Ugh, I'm going to give him a piece of my mind!"
"Don't do it, girl." Leshawna warns. "Remember, we're not talking to him." Courtney nods in response.
CONFESSIONAL: COURTNEY
"Ever since Max tricked everyone into hating that beatbox guy, whats-his-name, he's become public enemy number one!" She explains to the audience. "I'd rather be the one to cause his elimination, but if it gets me to the final four, I'll take it!"
Max prances up behind the girls after his car.
"Excuse me, Courtney. Did you see a car armed with hydro-powered weapons pass by here?" he says as politely as he can. She scoffs and turns her back on him. She and Leshawna walk away together. The car continues swerving through camp. It sprays water in a long line, turning the dirt into mud just as Tyler comes jogging up to it. He steps into the mud and slides straight into a tree. He sits up and holds his head in pain.
"Owwww," he groans as he gets back to his feet.
"Hmm," Max taps his chin, holding the car. "I guess making the ground slippery is sort of evil," he says to himself.
"Oh, Max!" Tyler says. "I'm glad I ran into you,"
"You ran into that tree, not into me." Max responds.
"I heard the girls talking," Tyler explains. "They're planning on getting rid of you next."
"They said that?"
"Well, sorta. Leshawna and Courtney did. Dawn just said something about your aura being pure or something. Anyway, if you get kicked off, I don't stand a chance of beating Courtney!"
"Very well." Max says. "All I need to do is win invincibility, vote out Courtney, and then you and I shall take out Dawn, as we previously agreed, yes?"
"Uh, sure." Tyler agrees.
"Attention final five!" Chris yells through the speakers. "Report to the mess hall for the first part of today's challenge!"
The remaining contestants all sit at one long table, facing their host on the other side.
"Meeting in the kitchen?" Courtney comments. "This can only mean..."
"That's right!" Chris finishes. "An eating challenge!" The five teenagers all groan together. "Don't worry, this is just part one!" Chris announces. Everyone groans again. "We talked to the eliminated contestants about their favourite recipes," he explains. "As it turns out, Katie and Sadie know a great recipe for peach cobbler, Dakota knows how to make a low-fat blueberry muffin, and the world's first brownie recipe was passed down through the generations of Staci's family." Everyone responds to the last factoid with a blank stare. "Yeah, we didn't fact check her, but who would lie about that?" The three meals mentioned are carried in the front door of the dining hall, each by an intern smiling for the first time since getting their jobs. The contestants all look on in excitement. "These meals will all be available to the staff!" Chris says, immediately taking the smiles from the contestants. "The paid staff," he adds, doing the same to the three interns as they carry the food to the kitchen. "For you guys, your first meal, recipe by Scott, preparation by Chef Hatchet, is called 'Worms in Dirt.' "
"Oh!" Tyler says. "Isn't that just gummy worms, Oreos and chocolate pudding?"
"Usually, yes." Chris confirms. "But in Scott''s case, it's earthworms, dirt, and vinegar."
Five pie tins are placed in front of the contestants by the surly chef, each containing the blend of ingredients. They are each handed a spoon.
"When I say to, eat." Chris instructs. "Last one done is out. Ready? GO!" The final five reluctantly bury their spoons in the wet dirt. Each one takes a bite and they all gag.
"One...million...dollars..." Courtney says between each bite. Before long, they've all finished their 'meals' with the exception of Dawn, who refused to touch her plate.
"I'm bringing these poor defenseless worms outside," she explains on her way out the door.
"Uh, okay then..." Chris shrugs. "Next, a delicious and healthy protein shake, recipe by Eva." Four tall glasses of a questionable liquid are placed on the table. "Raw eggs, chopped beef, protein powder, and a handful of assorted nuts."
"Killer!" Tyler yells, swallowing the whole glass. Leshawna holds her nose, closes her eyes and takes a big sip. Courtney and Max do the same, but Max chokes and coughs up the substance.
"Max, you finished last, so you're out!"
"Curses!" he shouts. "Foiled again!"
"Next, from Leonard." Chris says to the nauseous trio. "His mana potion recipe contains..." Chris stares down at the sheet of paper. "Troll hair, eye of newt, fire salts...Nevermind," he tosses that paper aside and picks up another. "This one is from Sugar!"
"Oh no," Courtney says.
"Since we can't use Leonard's recipe, the first one to finish will be the winner of the first part of today's challenge."
"And what is this recipe?" Leshawna asks reluctantly. As she does, three plates of fresh looking ravioli are placed in front of them. "This doesn't look so bad." She stabs a piece with her fork and tastes it. As she does, Chris starts reading the recipe.
"Sugar calls it Roadkill Ravioli!"
"You said what now?" Leshawna asks, wide-eyed.
"Ravioli stuffed with a mixture of possom, raccoon, and some type of bird." Chris explains as Dawn walks back inside. She hears this and immediately faints. Leshawna, Tyler and Courtney all stare at their plates in disgust. Courtney suddenly takes a deep breath and starts shoveling the pasta into her mouth, clearing her plate almost instantly. While everyone except the unconscious Dawn stare in shock, she drops her fork dramatically.
"I am not losing this season." she says.
"Mhm..." Chris hums. "Okay, you win the advantage in part two. You also get to decide who will NOT be competing in part two! Pick one person to sit out and have no shot at immunity."
"Yes!" Courtney yells. "I choose Max!" she declares.
"What?!" he yells in response.
CONFESSIONAL: COURTNEY
"Perfect!" she shouts. "Now he can't win and we can all vote him out tonight! No matter who wins invincibility!"
The final five follow Chris along a trail towards part two. At the back of the pack are Tyler and Dawn.
"Hey, feeling better?" Tyler asks her.
"Yeah, I'll be okay. Thanks." she responds.
"Listen, we gotta talk about the vote tonight." He explains. "Max and I want to vote Courtney, and Courtney and Leshawna, I think they're voting for Max. I'm not sure what you're thinking."
"It's a tough vote." Dawn explains. "I'd hate to vote out Max before he realizes that he's not really evil..."
"Welcome to part two!" Chris yells. The contestants see a large, metal, cylinder-shaped pillar with a big disc shape on top. Hanging from the disk are four thick ropes with knots tied at the bottom. "All you have to do is stay on the rope longer than anyone else! Heh, saw it on some other show." he says.
"When do I get my advantage?" Courtney asks from her position.
"You'll find out." Chris says. He nods to Chef who, with a large remote control, starts the machine. The disc shape starts spinning, taking Tyler, Leshawna, Courtney, and Dawn with it. The quartet all cling to their ropes as tight as they can. Chef presses another button and, from a small hole above each rope, water pours down on everyone except Courtney.
After only about fifteen minutes, Chef splashes everyone but Courtney with water again. Max, bored from sitting on the sidelines, takes a look at the remote.
"Can that thing do anything else?" he asks the cook.
"Yeah," Chef responds bluntly. Max snatches the remote and starts messing with the controls. He turns a knob to its maximum setting, making the machine spin the contestants even faster. He presses a few buttons and ice cold water is dumped on all four contestants.
"Hey!" Courtney screams. "I'm not supposed to get wet!" Chef Hatchet grabs the remote back, but Max holds on and tries to pull it away. In their struggle, they accidentally hit another button, releasing Courtney's rope. She lands on the ground and the rope lands on top of her.
"Courtney! You're out!" Chris announces.
"What?! That is NOT fair!" Courtney cries.
"Life's not fair," Chris shrugs.
"No, she is correct." Max says, surprising everyone. The machine slows to a stop and Dawn lets go of her rope.
"Are you arguing for fairness?" Dawn asks.
"My elimination from Pahkitew Island was the most unfair in Total Drama." He explains.
"That's debatable." Leshawna huffs from her rope.
"My goal is to prove that evil can win without cheating." He grumbles. "Give Courtney another chance."
"She can have my spot." Dawn says. "I'm still recovering from fainting earlier anyway."
"Fine." Chris groans.
"Wow." Courtney says, surprised. "Thanks guys." She pulls herself onto the rope where Dawn was hanging before.
"Don't get the wrong idea." Max warns. "I still want you to lose. I just want you to lose fairly."
CONFESSIONAL: COURTNEY
"I'm actually really surprised that Max did that for me." she admits. "It almost makes me feel bad about voting him out tonight. Almost."
CONFESSIONAL: MAX
"It does seem that I'm on the chopping block tonight." Max confesses. "But evil and dishonour do not have to go hand in hand."
The machine starts up again, with Max and Dawn watching from the sidelines. After a while, the three remaining players are getting tired and cold from the water. A sudden gush of water causes Tyler's headband to slide over his eyes. He reaches up to lift it, but another shot of water surprises him and causes him to lose his grip.
"It's down to just Courtney and Leshawna!" Chris announces. Both girls make brief eye contact. Leshawna's hands are cramping and she's starting to shake from the could. Courtney's wrists and ankles ache, but because she hadn't been hit with as much water, the cold doesn't bother her as much. Suddenly, she drops. Courtney lands on her feet, but Leshawna swings around and knocks her over.
"Ooh! Sorry!" she says as she drops down from her own rope. Leshawna helps Courtney to her feet as Chris announces the winner.
"Why'd you let go?" Leshawna asks.
"I...I don't know." Courtney says back.
"Maybe you saw how much she wanted it?" Dawn suggests as she approaches the other girls. "Maybe you felt like you owe her for saving you with her invincibility statue?"
"Yeah right!" Courtney shouts. "My arms were just tired."
VOTING CONFESSIONALS:
Leshawna, Tyler, Courtney and Max are all seen drawing an X across an unknown portrait.
Dawn looks nervously between two. She sighs and puts one aside, keeping it face down, and draws an X across the other. "I can tell that you've changed." she says to herself.
"Before we start the ceremony," Chris begins. "I'd like to remind everyone that whoever gets eliminated tonight does get a consolation prize." Chris holds up the four marshmallows. "The first one goes to Leshawna." he tosses her the first safety symbol. "Also safe tonight..."

Courtney and Max both glare at each other. Chris holds yp the final marshmallow and both of them eye it eagerly. "And, the final marshmallow goes to..."

"Max."
Everyone gasps and flinches. Courtney, surprisingly, just stands up calmly. She takes a deep breath before anyone looks up.
"Well, at least it was fair this time." she shrugs.
"You okay girl?" Leshawna asks, standing up and putting her hand on Courtney's shoulder.
"Yeah. I know this sounds crazy but...Friendship might be more important than winning." Everyone gasps at this statement.
"Well, that was unexpected." Chris says. "Here's your consolation prize." Chris hands her a CD playing boombox and three CDs to go with it. Courtney glances down at the CDs and reads the titles aloud.
" 'The Total Drama World Tour Soundtrack', 'Beardo's Beatboxing Greatest Hits,' and 'Ella's Sounds of the Springtime.' Who's Ella?"
"You also get this!" Chris hands her a T-shirt with the series' logo, the red TD, with the word Redemption printed underneath.
"This prize sucks. But there's always next time." Courtney says, smiling back at her friends.
"Who says we'll bring you back again?" Chris asks. "I think fans are getting sick of you."
"You don't have a choice!" Courtney mocks him.
"She's right." Chef Hatchet says, showing Chris a contract. "When they changed her contract in season two, they said we can't feature the original cast unless we include Courtney." Chris takes the contract and tries to tear it in half before Courtney snatches it from him.
"Nice try!" she yells. "It's laminated!" She and her consolation prizes make their way into the ball of shame. Chris quickly flips the lever and sends her off the island.
"Well, we all wanted a meltdown. Sorry to disappoint." Chris says. "Tune in next time for more shocking developments on Total. Drama. REDEMPTION!"
