(A/N: Wow. I am really, really sorry this took so long. I wish I could say something cool happened, like I was whisked away to the Elder Scrolls universe, and was forced to lay Alduin before being allowed to return to my own reality, but in the end I simply got too busy with school and such, and by the time I had free time, I had totally lost track of where I wanted to whole Sierra thing to go. As a result, while I am pleased to announce I have a new episode for you, it is rather short and has a rather abrupt challenge. But I figured it would be best to get this out of the way, and move on to the next couple of chapters- which, not to toot my own horn, I think are shaping up to be some of the best in the entire series. Anyway, I'll let you get to reading- but stick around, because at the end of the episode I have a few announcements regarding the future of CTV.)
Duncan whistled a tune to himself as he entered the boy's cabin. His spirits were high- it was a beautiful day out, there were plenty of food rations, ad his odds of making the finals seemed to increase every day"Hey guys," he called as he stepped inside, "what's up?"To his surprise, however, the cabin was empty."Huh," he frowned, "wonder where everyone got off to."Before he could turn and leave, Cody's head popped out from under his bed."Is she still there?" Cody whispered."W...what?" Duncan frowned."In the window!" Cody exclaimed before disappearing , Duncan made his way over to the window, and moved the blinds out of the way. He nearly jumped out of his skin when he aw Sierra staring into the window unblinking with a huge grin on her face."That's about the creepiest thing I've ever seen," Duncan said before closing the blinds, "where'd everyone else go?""No idea," Cody whimpered, "they got creeped out and left me here!""Can't say I blame them," Duncan muttered, "how long has she been there?""I don't know!" Cody exclaimed, "Eleven hours, at least!""What? You can't be serious!" Duncan said, jaw dropping."I wish I wasn't!" Cody moaned, "Things are screwed up! I've been seeing things, Sierra is stalking me, Gwen's giving me the cold shoulder- I have no idea what to do!""Hey, don't worry man, it'll be okay," Duncan said, "you just need to hang on until Chris gets back.""IF he gets back," Cody groaned."I'm sure he'll be here in no time," Duncan shrugged, "although hat does make me wonder what he could be doing.""What who could be doing: DJ asked entering the cabin.
"Oh, hey DJ," Duncan nodded, "we were just wondering where Chris went."
"Yeah, that makes three of us. I just hope he gets back soon, this Sierra thing is getting ridiculous," DJ said.
"Tell me about it!" Cody agreed, "It's- OH GOD THERE SHE IS!"
"Oh boys," Sierra called from the doorway, "challenge time!"
"I'll, uh, be out in a second," Cody stammered, "I need to... get changed."
"Well go ahead," Sierra grinned, "don't stop on my account!"
At this, Duncan slammed the door in Sierra's face.
"Man I really miss the first season," Cody grumbled, "At least then there wasn't an insane stalker to deal with."
"Yeah, but no million dollars either," Duncan shrugged, "now come on, we might as well get this over with."
~o.0.o~
Once Sierra had the nine contestants gathered, she began to explain teh day's events.
"Okay," Sierra started, since there's only nine of you left, we need to make sure to start preparing fir what will be known as the greatest finale in reaity show history! Only the best of the best can hope to stand a chance against Cody in the finals, so today's challenge is a test of strength and durability!"
"Great," Miri muttered, rolling her eyes.
"You'll be competing against each other in a tourney, with each round being a different extreme sports challenge," Sierra continued, "first will be extreme treadmill racing, than extreme wrestling, and finally, extreme fencing!"
"Extreme?" Duncan scoffed, "Those all sound a little lame to me."
"Oh, just wait," Sierra smiled, "now, if you'll kindly follow me..."
Sierra ed the contestants down the beach where the found three treadmills in front of a peculiar looking machine, as well as a wrestling ring.
"Okay, sine there are an uneven number of you, here's how we'll do this. three of you will get on teh treadmill first- the last person standing moves on to the next round. After the first three, we'll use groups of two," Sierra explained, "so first up, we'll have DJ, Johnny, and my Cody-bear!"
The three guy got on their treadmills, and Sierra took her place behind the machine.
"Get ready, get set... go!" Sierra cheered, hitting a button on the machine.
the treadmills all started up at one- however, while J and Johnny were immediately forced into a full sprint, Cody merely had to lightly jog to keep his place.
"Now this... this don't seem fair," Johnny panted.
"Nope," Sierra grinned, hitting another button.
Objects began to fly out of the device, ranging from garden supplies to food- none of which, of course came anywhere close to hitting Cody. Despite this, DJ and Johnny actually managed to do quite well. Although they were pelted by a few minor projectiles, they were able to keep their balance. At least until Sierra did something so bizarre the contestants could scarcely believe seeing it. A living, breathing dog was launched out of the machine and towards DJ.
"What the-" DJ gasped.
The dog immediately knocked DJ off the treadmill and pinned him to the ground, growling and snapping at him.
:What in the hell?" Johnny frowned, turning to see what happened to DJ. In the split second his attention was diverted, the device launched a school desk at him, and Johnny was soon on the ground dazed and confused.
"Looks like Cody makes it to the next round," Sierra cheered, "and next up we'll have Lucky and Miri."
The two took their positions, and the challenge commenced. It was over rather quickly, however, since Miri was far from being the most athletic competitor She lost her breath ad was practically thrown off the treadmill. the next two to compete were Sunny and Quinn. Despite not being able to rig the game in any way, Quinn still managed t pull out the victory, leaving Duncan and Gwen left.
"your turn, Gwen," Sierra announced in an unnervingly chipper voice.
"Fine," Gwen sighed, "let's get this overwith."
wen and Duncan took their places, and the process began once more. Gwen's treadmill, of course, moved at a much faster rate- and more projectiles were launched in her direction. Upon seeing this Duncan felt a twang of pity, and allowed himself to fall off the treadmill. Upon doing so, he immediatley grabbed his ankle and began to writhe in pain.
"Ugh... I think I sprained my ankle," he groaned.
Sierra, scowling, turned to Gwen and said, "I guess you move on to round two. Everyone who's been eliminated so far can go wait by the cabins."
The five eliminated contestants turned and headed down the beach.
"I'm surprised, man," DJ said to Duncan, "I didn't think you'd get out so easy."
"Sierra was gunning for Gwen," Duncan said, "I don't think I'm in any daner of going home, so I threw the match. Gwen could use immunity more than me."
"Well that was nice of you," DJ smiled.
"Shut up. It's not that I wanted to do Gwen any favors,I just thought it would be funny o see Sierra's reaction if Gwen won tonight."
"Whatever you say."
Back over at the wrestling ring, Sierra was explaining the next part of the challenge.
"Okay, here's how the wrestling challenge works. Two of you will go up at a time You can beat your opponent by pinning them, knocking them out, or throwing them out of the ring. Of course, being the great hostess that I am, I have a few surprises lined up for you! The two winners will advance to the final round- first up, Cody and Lucky!"
Lucky smiled as the two entered the ring.
"Sorry kid," Lucky sighed, "but I do owe 'ya for when you almost got me killed by a bear."
"Oh come on!" Cody exclaimed, "I said I was sorry!"
"And... go!" Sierra called.
As soon as Lucky took a step forward, a giant rock landed in front of him, missing him by only a few inches.
"What the hell?" Lucky asked, looking up at the sky, "Where did that even-"
"Hiyahhhh!" Cody launched himself across the ring and attempted to tackle Lucky, who just shoved him backwards.'
"Gonna be like that, huh?" Lucky asked "Okay, let's go!"
Lucky pulled his arm back, and hit Cody in the stomach. Before he could strike agan, a volley of arrows whizzed by overhead, narrowly missing them both.
:Were those ARROWS?" Lucky demanded, "Like, actual- are you tryin' to do me in?"
"It's nothing against you," Sierra smiled, you're actual my second favorite new-competitor! That being said..."
At that instant, a log swung into the ring and hit Lucky square in the back, sending him flying over the ropes and into the ground.
"Cody wins!" Sierra cheered, "but, oh, before you go back to the cabins, can you answer a question, Lucky?"
Lucky, who was still lying face down in the dirt, mumbled a response.
"Who do oyu ship yourself with, Sunny or Quinn?" Sierra asked, "To be honest, I like you and Quinn a bit more, but I think you and Johnny make a MUCH better pair than either of the others."
Lucky lifted his head slightly, eyes wide.
"Wha... what?"
"You and Johnny," Sierra said again, "you'd be a great couple! Just imagine: the stoic cowboy with all of his pent up angst, and the hoodlum with a tough attitude but a sensitive and scared-"
"lalalala," Lucky sang, covering his ears, "I'm not listening. I'm not listening."
CONFESSIONAL: Lucky
I... what? Just, what? Me and JOHNNY? I haven't even dated another guy in years, and Johnny's just- this can't seriously be something people... what the FUCK?"
CONFESSIONAL: Johnny
*johnny stares at the camera for a minute. He opens his mouth to say something, then shakes his head, gets up, and leaves.*
END CONFESSIONALS
After Lucky got up and wandered back to the cabin, Sierra announced the second round.
"Okay, next up, we'll have Gwen and Quinn," Sierra said.
As the two girls headed to the ring Sierra pulled Quinn aside.
"I've got lot riding on you," the hostess spat, "make sure Gwen doesn't make it to the finale round, and 'll make it worth your while."
"I like the sound of that," Quinn smirked.
"Oh, you'll like it even better in second," Sierra nodded, "just remember, don't touch the ropes."
Quinn nodded, and got into the ring.
"Ladies and gentlemen, time for match #2- Gwen vs. Quinn!" Sierra announced, "Girls, get into your positions!"
Gwen and Quinn each climbed into the ring, and stared each other down.
" Brace yourself, honey. This is going to hurt," Quinn smiled.
"And... fight!" Sierra shouted.
As Gwen and Quinn began their showdown, Sierra pulled a remote out of her pocket.
"Goodbye Gwen," Sierra hissed. The hostess gave a quick nod to Quinn, who smiled and nodded back.
"Ropes," Sierra mouthed, and then hit a button on her remote.
Quinn gave Gwen a rough shove, sending her stumbling back into the ropes. As soon as she made impact, a volt of electricity shot through Gwen, and teh girl fell to the ground. Quinn walked over, whistling as she did so, and put a boot on Gwen's chest.
"1...2...3!" Sierra cheered, "Quinn wins the match, and progresses to round 3! Okay Cody, time to-"
Cody paid her no attention, and instead rushed into the ring and over to Gwen.
"Gwen! Gwen? Are you alright?" he asked, "Come on, please say you're alright!"
"I doubt it," Quinn smirked, "I try to be thorough."
"Quinn, this is serious! She could be hurt!" Cody snapped, "Gwen? Gwen, please!"
"What's the matter, Cody?" Sierra asked, "You and Quinn are n the last round together! Or if you don't want to keep going I can just give you immunity and-"
"This isn't about the game!" Cody shouted, "Do you have any idea what you just did? Gwen could be seriously injured, I don't care about immunity!"
"...But, she lost," Sierra pointed out, "so you can just vote her out and-"
"Are you INSANE?" Cody shouted, "You electrocuted her just to... to vote her out?"
"Well, yeah!" Sierra nodded, "Otherwise we'd never be together-"
"We never WILL be together, don't you get it?" Cody demanded, "I'm NOT interested in you, why won't you just accept that and move on? I'm in love with Gwen, okay?"
there was a moment of silence after Cody was done speaking. Cody was still concerned with Gwen, while Sierra stood there looking dumbfounded.
"Crap," Cody muttered, "I've got to get you back to camp, maybe-"
"But... we're meant to be together," Sierra whimpered.
"No. We aren't," Cody sighed, "Sierra, have you ever stopped to THINK about what you're doing? You've stalked me, kidnapped me, nearly killed Gwen, and somehow at the end of the day find a way to morally justify it to yourself! Do you realize how insane you are?"
"...But..." Sierra stammered.
Cody lifted Gwen up, and carried her out of the ring.
"Just hang in there," he said, "everything is gonna be okay."
Sierra watched as Cody headed towards the cabin,gradually fading into the distance before disappearing from view altogether.
"Hey, crazy. I still get my reward, or what?" Quinn asked.
Sierra said nothing, still staring off into the distance.
"Fine," the hostess said after a while, "if I can't have you, no one can."
~o.0.o~
When Gwen finally came to, she was shocked t see she was in her bed and surrounded by the other campers.
"ugh... what happened?" she groaned.
"Sierra's gone off the handle," Cody explained, "she actually electrocuted and almost killed you just to get you out of the challenge!"
"What?" Gen gasped, "She actually- ow!"
"Just take it easy," DJ advised, "you took a pretty nasty shock, and that fall didn't help you none either. Rest up for a couple of days and you should be fine."
"Thanks, DJ," Gwen smiled.
"Don't mention it," DJ grinned, "so, uh, Cody. Isn't there something you wanted to tell Gwen?"
"W-what?" Cody blushed, "No, why would you say that?"
DJ elbowed Cody in the ribs.
"Ow! DJ!"
"Hey, the rest of y'all hear that?" Johnny interrupted.
"Heat what?" Duncan asked.
Everyone fell silent.
"I guess nothin'," Johnny shrugged, "I just thought I heard the sound of-"
"CODDDDDYYYYYY!" Sierra shrieked.
Everyone turned just n time to see the blade of an axe cut through the cabin door.
"REALLY?" Duncan demanded, "We're doing THIS now?"
Sierra pulled the axe out, and swung it again, and again, and again, and again until the door began to break apart.
"If I can't have you," Sierra wailed, "no one can!"
"This is gettin' ridiculous," Johnny sighed, "anyone have a cord or somethin' I can borrow to-"
"No," Gwen said, "I'll handle this."
"Gwen, wait!" Cody said, "you need to relax, let someone else-"
At that moment, Sierra kicked the door open, and marched inside.
"Cody," she hissed, "wait for me outside of the cabin. This could get REALLY messy."
Gwen got to her feet, and stared the insane fangirl down.
"Sierra, enough." Gwen snapped, "just leave already! Cody isn't yours, and you aren't going to attack anyone, okay? Just move on with your life and find a new celebrity to-"
Sierra let out a shriek, and charged across the room at Gwen. Just as she did so, Duncan stuck his foot out, causing Sierra to trip and face plant. Gwen immediately tried to snatch up Sierra's axe, but the stalker held on, refusing t give it up.
"Let- go!" Gwen shouted.
"NEVER!" Sierra shouted, "YOU TOOK HIM FROM ME!"
"WHAT IS GOING ON HERE?"
Everyone stopped and turned to see Chris standing in the doorway of the cabin, and annoyed look on his face.
"Chris!" Cody shouted, running over and hugging the host.
"okay, as amazing as I am, you need to quit with the touching," Chris snapped, shoving Cody away, "now, will somebody PLEASE tell me why Sierra is here wielding an axe?"
"Its a long story," Cody sighed, "but boy am I glad you're back-"
Sierra let out a bloodcurdling scream, and leapt to her feet.
"No! This is my show!" she shouted, "And my Cody and-"
BAM!
Gwen's fist hit Sierra straight in the jaw, causing the girl to collapse to the gorund.
"That," Gwen smirked, "was the highlight of my entire stay here."
"Okay seriously," Chris muttered, "what the hell is going on?"
~o.0.o~
About an hour later, and Chris was standing on the beach, talking to one of Milton's agents.
"Terribly sorry about the mix-u," the agent said, "now that you're back, we'll take Sierra back with us to the studio."
"Darn right you will," Chris snapped, "now get moving! you're stinking up my island!"
The contestants all cheered as Sierra, now bound in a straight jacket, was wheeled on to a nearby boat.
"well," Duncan smiled, "I guess you can say Sierra really got the AXE."
"Stick to your dayjob," Chris sighed, "anyway, I know Sierra's gone, but don't get too excited. We still have an elimination to get to!"
"What?" the contestants groaned.
"Yep!" Chris smiled, "And since Cody and Quinn sorta won the challenge today, they both have immunity! Now get to voting, and meet me in an our!"
After everyone had voted and met Chris over by the stage, Chris began to pass out marshmallows.
"first marshmallows go to Cody and Quinn, obviously," Chris announced, "also receiving marshmallows today are Gwen, Sunny, DJ, Lucky, and Duncan.
Miri and Johnny, its down to you. And the last marshmallow goes to...
.

"...Johnny!"
"Aww," Miri groaned, "dang it! I was doing pretty good, too!"
"Sorry, you were just too smart," Duncan explained,
"At least you can take comfort in knowing the rest of us had you pegged as one of our biggest threats, right?"
"I... guess I can," Miri nodded, "well, I better get going. Bye guys, I'll miss you."
Miri gave a quick wave before heading to the boat of losers.
"Only eight of you remain," Chris announced, "who's gonna be the net to get the boot? We won't know until the next episode of
CAMP TV:
SPECTER-"
"Why are you shouting?" Lucky asked "We're right here!"
"Because its my show," Chris muttered, "any you just ruined a perfectly good outro! You know what? Just get to bed! I have planning to do."
~o.0.o~
Cody was sitting on the beach, talking with Duncan and DJ.
"Man, am I glad that's over, " Cody sighed, "hopefully we won't see Sierra ever again."
"Yeah, but with the way things have been going, its only a matter of time before Blaineley or someone else shows up,"Duncan said, "I mean, first Sadie, then psycho fangirl? I'm grateful Chris showed up when he-"
"um, hey guys," a voice said from behind, "could I talk to Cody for a second?"
The three boys turned and saw Gwen, an embarrassed smile on her face.
"Oh, uh, sure," Duncan nodded, "come on DJ, lets go get some sleep.
The two guys got up and started heading towards the cabin. Right before going inside, DJ turned and flashed Cody the thumbs up.
"So," Gwen started, sitting own net to the geek, "what as it you wanted to tell me earlier?"
"Uh, nothing," Cody stammered, "I just, you. Hope you're feeling better and all that."
"Really? that's all?" Gwen asked.
"I... well... I mean there was other stuff, but it isn't stuff that you'd be interested in hearing," Cody gulped, "I mean, not to say it isn't something you'd want to know, but its the sort of something you probably wouldn't-"
"Cody," Gwen said gently, "just tell me."
"I.. okay," Cody sighed, "Gwen, the thing is... I like you, alright? like, a lot. And I was afraid to say anything because there's no way a girl like you would like me back and I just didn't want to make a fool of myself on TV again and-"
"Cody," Gwen interrupted.
"y-yeah?"
"I like you a lot too," Gwen smiled.
"I... wait, what?" Cody frowned.
Before he could say anything else, Gwen leaned in and kissed him. When she pulled away, his face was as red as a tomato.
"I take it back," Gwen smiled, "THAT was the highlight of my entire stay here."
(A/N: I'll just go ahead and say it- it's about damn time. Gwen and Cody were meant to form a couple much, much earlier, but because I was an idiot and eliminated Cody so early in season three, it didn't happen. Anyway, as promised, i have a few announcements regarding the future of Camp TV. First of all, there will be an all-star season. I'm currently working on a cast and episode list, and so far the only things I can tell you for certain is that there will be only 16 episodes, and 16 contestants. It will be heroes vs. villains, although there are still a few open slots in terms of who'll be competing. Which is why I'd like to ask you guys to tell me who you'd rather see compete out of the pairings below:
Would you rather see:
Miri or Veronica?
Cody or Noah?
Vevo or Ricardo?
Tyler or Duncan?
Anyway, you can either leave your choices as a review, or PM me, either is fine.
In addition to an all-star season, there is a spin-off story coming up called Camp TV: Stories. For those of you who don't know, initially season 4 was to involve the TDROTI teens, but after a while I decided against it. Of course, there are still several of you who are curious to know what happened to them between seasons- and with the release of this story, you'll know.
It's going to be a pretty short season, only 9-10 episodes, and it will also tie in to the events of an upcoming Specter Islands episode- but I'm not going to say anymore. I've planned it all out, and I'm telling you guys, despite its length I think it'll be one of the best seasons so far. Lots of twists and turns and I think you'll be surprised at who I picked as the antagonist.
After the CTV 5 and Stories, however, I am officially done with the series I have no intentions of doing another season- but, after talking to a friend on this site, I've decided to pass off Camp TV to him. After season 5, he will take control of the series. I will still work with him on it, providing input and possibly writing a guest episode here and there, but it will no longer be my series. There is a possibility the sixth season will be a roleplay or accept user-submitted OC's- more will be announced when the time comes.
Again, I'm sorry for how this episode turned out, as I know it's far from my best. But I do promise the next couple will be much better. There are six episodes left this season, and trust me when I say things really pick up next chapter.
Also, I feel kinda bad for eliminating Miri- I didn't realize you guys liked her so much until it was too late to change her fate. I did like her character, though, and if you guys do want to see her again I promise I'll do more with her. Anyway, I hope you enjoyed the episode- its good to be back!)
