Total Drama Fiji: Surviving the Drama
Chapter 8: Second Immunity Challenge
Between the end of the previous episode and the start of this one, it had started raining heavily on the island. All the fires had been extinguished and everyone was annoyed and upset although the rain had stopped by early morning.
Their mood was slightly brightened the next morning by the arrival of a new message in the treemail. It read:
Treemail!
Manumanu and Laga leaders, please choose FIVE people to play in today's immunity challenge. Ika, your five is pretty obvious.
The order in which people will go shall be alphabetical. Skipping people will be allowed after an hour of inactivity.
The challenge begins as soon as Alejandro and Bridgette choose their players for today.
Ika Tribe (Cody, Duncan, Gwen, Sierra and Tyler)
Cody looks at the treemail "OK, we have another challenge coming up" He told his tribe."We really need to win this challenge, or at least get second place, we can't afford to lose!" Cody told his tribe.
"I'll make sure to give it MY ALL" Tyler said. He then punched a tree to show his strength. After punching it, a bunch of fruits fell out and landed on him.
"Nice one Ty," Duncan grinned enjoying the pain and the fruits that came.
"Hey look!" Tyler yelled "We got fruit now! You can thank me later!"
Manumanu Tribe (Al, Beth, Eva, Zeke, Izzy, LeShawna, Noah, Owen)
Alejandro frowned as he read the tree mail, thinking carefully. The shelters still needed a little work, and if Izzy could get a fire going- WITHOUT nearly killing herself this time-
"alright," he announced, "I've made my selection."
Beth, Ezekiel, LeShawna, Noah, Owen.
Noah walked back to camp with even more fruits "Now we'll have more food" He said.
"I'm ready to go!" Beth announced out loud.
"Huh. Good job, Noah," Alejandro said reluctantly, a bit surprised, "the challenge just came in. I'm going to remain at camp and work on the shelters- and try to get a fire going without burning everything down."
"Thanks, now, I'm going to go back to reading" He replied, taking out his book and going to read while sitting against a tree.
All three tribes met up at the challenge beach carrying their tribe flags and what little they had on their backs.
The orders are:
Manumanu: Beth, Ezekiel, LeShawna, Noah, Owen
Laga:Bridgette, Courtney, DJ, Geoff, Heather
Ika: Cody, Duncan, Gwen, Sierra, Tyler
Blaineley took back both immunity idols and put them on a table. "Alright brats, challenge time. For today's challenge, you'll be digging for wooden Chris heads (not the idol kind) in the sand. Each tribe has a 5x5 grid to search and the first two tribes to find the three buried heads win immunity. The losers vote someone off".
"Duncan, Gwen, Sierra, Tyler, are you guys ready for when it happens?" Cody asked his tribe.
"Well, here we go!" Beth exclaimed.
"This reminds me a little of battleship, except 100% more lame because there's Chris involved" Noah said. He looked around, "Except he's not here right now".
Blaineley once again took out her trusty megaphone. "SURVIVORS READY... GO!"
Cody grabbed a shovel and went over to the grid. Cody dug in B4.
"Go Cody!" Tyler yelled.
Bridgette ran to D-2 in the grid and began digging.
Beth grabbed a shovel and ran towards C4, where she began to dig, praying mentally that Chris didn't actually booby-trap the grids.
"Would it be funny if there was C4 in square C4?" Noah asked.
Courtney began to dig in A-3.
"BETH FOUND A CHRIS HEAD for Manumanu!", announced Blaineley.
Ezekiel ran and dug in D-1.
"All right!" Beth cheered out loud, as she ran back to her team, and shared a high five with Owen.
"Shoot!" Bridgette shouted and began digging faster.
Duncan dug in A-1 after Cody finished.
"Wait!" Lindsay says to her team, "What are we doing?"
Noah ran over to C-2 after 10 minutes had passed and dug it.
After Noah finished, Owen ran and dug in E-3.
It was Beth's turn again. She ran to B-1, and began to dig.
Harold sniffed. "Theyare digging for Chris's head. Weare standing here."
Geoff dug in A-5 and dug as hard as he could.
Zeke ran for A-5 and started digging.
Gwen dug in E-4.
Tyler dug up D2
"TYLER FOUND A CHRIS HEAD!" announced Blaineley.
LeShawna dug in B-5
"LESHAWNA FOUND A CHRIS HEAD!" yelled Blaineley excitedly.
Cody dug up B-1.
After Cody dug, Duncan dug in D-2.
Noah dug E-1.
Owen charged and dug in A-3.
Heather growled, "Come on you idiots!" Courtney glared and started digging at C-5
Gwen dug up C-2.
Beth ran back in and started to dig in E5.
Sierra dug E-1 .
Bridgette ran over to C-1 and swam through the sand.
Tyler dug D-5.
Zeke looked around before digging in B-2.
"BRIDGETTE FOUND A CHRIS HEAD!"Courtney digs into A-3
Cody dug in A-4.
Leshawna dug in B-3.
Duncan dug in B-2.
Noah dug in B4.
Gwen dug in C-1.
Sierra dug in E-3.
Owen dug in B-3.
Tyler dug in B5.
Beth ran back in and dug in B3.
Cody dug in E2
Duncan dug in E-3. He hoped there was a Chris head in it.
After nearly an hour of even more digging, Geoff eventually found another Chris head in hole D-5. Which meant only one head left to play for.
Zeke immediately rushed and dug in hole D-4, but to no avail. LeShawna, who was next, went to hole A-1. At first she couldn't find anything but eventually her shovel hit something hard. A bell immediately sounded as she pulled the object out of the hole.
"LESHAWNA WINS IMMUNITY FOR MANUMANU!"
"Woohoo!" Owen cheered giving a high-five to Leshawna.
"I did?" LeShawna grinned. "I did!"
Heather snarled, "Get a move on people!" She jumped to E-2 and started digging.
"Way to go, LeShawna!" Beth cheered out loud, hugging Leshawna.
"WHOO! 2 and 0!" Zeke cheered.
LeShawna cheered for her tribe.
Tyler dug in C3.
Bridgette jumped in and went to D-3 and began digging.
Cody dug in A3.
Similar to what had happened with LeShawna nearly twenty minutes earlier, another bell went off and Blaineley spoke again.
"CODY FINDS THE LAST CHRIS HEAD, SENDING LAGA TO TRIBAL COUNCIL!"
Heather threw her shovel down. "UGH!"
"Woo! GO CODY-KINS!" Sierra screamed, hugging him way too tightly.
Gwen smiled, plainly, in relief.
"What? Ugh!" Harold groaned. "I could have won this Bridgette," he whined at the captain.
"YES!" Cody cheered
DJ was just about to start digging up some B-3 dirt before he heard the announcement. "Damg it man." DJ groaned, throwing his shovel into the sand.
Blaineley handed the winning tribes their idols. "Manumanu, Ika, good job. You guys sucked slightly less than I thought."
"Laga, you've got the evening and until we open Tribal Council to discuss your loss. See ya later, losers."
All tribes headed back to their beaches.
"What a bummer dude," Geoff sadly frowned.
Courtney hung her head down, "I could have won this if I thought of the right spots!" Heather piped in, "This is your fault then!"
"Chill," Geoff told Heather. "You can't blame her for the loss."
"Yes I can," retorted Heather, "She didn't find a head!"
"Aw don't feel so bad Courtney, if anything you should blame me for goofing up and digging in a spot we already dug up. Oh wait!" DJ said supportively before realizing that he was digging his own hole, and it didn't have to do with the challenge.
"Well some of us didn't either," Geoff replied, nervously.
Courtney gave a supportive smile back, "Don't worry DJ, I don't plan on voting for you." She gave a nasty look towards Heather's direction.
Back at Manumanu's beach, the returning contestants were pleased to find the shelters reinforced, and a fire burning brightly in the center.
"Well? How did it go?" asked Alejandro, who was sitting nearby, arms crossed.
"We got first, baby!" LeShawna shouted proudly.
"We WON!" OWEN said enthusiastically.
Alejandro smiled, eyes lighting up. "Excellent- well done, everyone! I'm pleased I made the right call."
"Wait!" Lindsay says, "We lost?!"
Bridgette nodded at Lindsay. "But don't worry. We can talk this through as a team."
"Yeah, what Bridge said," Geoff smiled.
Laga Tribe then made sure everyone was present and accounted for, before making the trip to Tribal Council.
