Chris stood at the Dock of Shame with Chef, ready to give the recap
"Last time on Total Drama Island, they campers participated in a little scavenger hunt to look for the other campers that were buried underground!" *Chris chuckles to himself* "There were many surprises to be had, including a new crush (Kristen to Michael), some manipulation (Lotte) and some of our interns even made up! In the end it was Bella, the shy, nature loving princess who was sent off! 17 campers remain and by the end of the day it'll be down to 16! Who will rise and who will sink! Find out right here, right now on Total Drama Island!
The Bass were still asleep in their beds, the sun was beginning to rise, all the bass were still asleep. Dominic is dreaming about a peaceful forest, birds are chirping, deer are running and everything seems peaceful. One of the birds gets ready to sing until... a large horn sound blares and Dominic wakes up. He looks groggy and tired, Dutch bumps his head on the bunk (Dutch sleeps on the bottom bunk) incredibly irritated
"Oh this day is gonna be greeeeat!" Dutch comments sarcastically
Outside, everyone has gotten dressed and was ready for Chris to explain the challenge to them
"Alright! Good to see everyone's smiling faces! As for your challenge you're starting with a run around the lake!" Chris began
"Chris we already did they Awake-a-thon, dont you dare make us do that again!" Dutch threatened
"Trust me, this is gonna be different!" Chris stated, blowing on his air horn signaling everyone to run
While the contestants were running Hayden ran up to Tamara
"Listen, we need to start picking up the pace with the alliance!" He whispered to her "I've been thinking of picking Ruby off first."
Tamara was unsure of his statement, as she thought of Ruby as a friend, or at least an ally
"I- I don't know..." he words trailed off
"You have one hour to decide, if I see you talking to her, the alliance is off and I will guarantee you will be sent home!" Threatened Hayden, Tamara flinched in fear
*confessionals*
Tamara: I dont want to vote off Ruby! Maybe if we win the challenge I dont have to! *she sighs* I thought this game would be a lot easier!
Hayden: Tamara will be a decent enough pawn, she should be able to perform menial tasks for me until the teams merge, I have this game in the palm of my hand!
*end confessionals
The campers had just finished their run and went to the mess hall where Chris, Chef, and the interns were waiting
"Everybody here? Good! Now who's hungr-" Chris begins before suddenly being interrupted
"Chris, I swear if we are re-doing the awake-a-thon then we're gonna have a problem!" Ruby threatened
"Trust me Ruby, we are not re-using old challenges!" Chris answered, some of the campers sighed in relief "Instead, the challenge will be totally different! Meet me at the amphitheater for more info!"
"Why are we going to the amphitheater if you told us to come here!?" Corlissa questioned
"No questions! Just meet me there!" Chris replied
At the amphitheater the contestants were all seated on the bleachers while Chris was on the stage with Chef, they had sly grins on their faces, there was something on the stage being covered by a cloth
"So why did you ask us to come here Chris?" Luis asked nervously
"One question?... Who's hungry!" Chris asked excitedly, he removed the cloth to reveal a spinning wheel with several symbols on it, one was a star, another was a tree, another was a fork and knife, a plant, a toilet, some other symbols, and a skull and crossbones, a few of the contestants grew nervous with the last symbol, which varied in size
"Welcome to the Chowdown Challenge! Your challenge is simple, you will spin the wheel and eat a type of food depending on symbol you land on. Screaming Gophers, since you won the last challenge, you'll go first!" Chris stated
*confessionals*
Luis: An eating challenge... I'm not much of an eater... this wont end well
Dutch: An eating challenge!? This'll be a snap!
Ruby: Oh joy! An eating challenge! *sarcastically*
Corlissa: I was expecting something... worse... I guess Chris is loosing his touch!
*end confessionals*
"Oh and I forgot to mention something. Most of these foods are prepared by Chef heh heh. The star symbol represents something reeeeeeeally special!"
"And t-the skull and c-c-crossbones symbol?" Stammered Alyx in fear
"Oh yeah, that! You dont want to land on that! That meal is something out from the woods, freshly caught!" Answered Chris, the contestants gasped in horror at what they just heard, Luis even fainted! "Dont worry though it'll just be a fish or a honeybee hive or something." The campers were not fully convinced with Chris's statement
The campers were seated on the amphitheater, Luis volunteered to go first, he wanted to get done with this challenge A.S.A.P, he spun the wheel and it landed on a tree. Sapphire brought over a plate that was covered.
"Luis, to make It through this round all you need to do is take one bite of your dish and swallow it! Do I make myself clear?" Chris asked, Luis nodded, he hesitated in uncovering his dish, but he breathed a sigh of relief when he noticed it was just an apple.
Luis took his bite and easily swallowed it, moving on ti the next round
"That was just the easy part, Luis! Anyway, Bass, you're up!" Chris called out
Corlissa went up, she spun the wheel and it landed on a farm symbol, Briar gave her the dish, which was uncovered to be a literal fried chicken, Corlissa hesitated in taking her bite... but finished it quickly, thankfull that it wasnt an actual chicken, it was just the molding of one
"Gophers, it's back to you!" Chris said
Tamara went up and reluctantly spun the wheel, she crossed her fingers in the hopes of being as lucky as Luis, eventually it landed on an arm that was flexing, Johan handed her the dish which turned out to be a simple egg.
"This is it? Is it hard-boiled or...?" Tamara asked
"Nope!" Chris answered "Just a normal egg, if you can crack an egg then this'll be easy, unless you plan on eating the shell!"
Tamara quickly cracked the egg and swallowed it's contents, she looked a but disgusted afterwards
"And its back to the Bass, looks like you guys have been lucky so far!" Chris taunted
Dutch eagerly went up and forcefully spun the wheel, unfortunately (or fortunately if you don't like Dutch) the wheel landed on the toilet, Dutch looked genuinely worried and disgruntled. Mike brought him his dish, he looked concerned for Dutch. Dutch slowly uncovered his dish, it was revealed to be one of Chef's meals. It looked like a sloppy joe only it was reddish-green, the others looked sorry for Dutch.
"I think I saw it move!" Viola stated
"You're not helping!" Dutch snapped at her, he then reluctantly took a bite out of it, he looked like he was about to puke but he held it in
"Even I thought you couldn't do that!" Chris admitted
*confessionals*
Dutch: Chris can throw all he has at me, im not giving up!
Johan: Chris isn't pulling any punches with this challenge is he!
Sapphire: This might just be interesting, im glad I ain't doin' this!
Briar: *she is throwing up in a paper bag*
Ciana: As long as I get paid, I'm happy
Mike: I don't think I could have done that, Chester would've just complained, Vito only eats meat, Svetlana is on a special diet, Manitoba and Mal though... im not sure
Luis: This just proves that Dutch is a threat and it shows why I fear him so much!
*end confessionals*
Michael went up and spun the wheel, it landed on the fork and knife, Ciana handed Michael his dish, Michael opened it and was relieved to see that it was ice cream!
*confessional*
Viola: Lucky...
Kristen: Thank goodness!
Alyx: Aww, I want some!
*end confessional*
Michael ate the whole thing and sat back down, Michiko, she spun the wheel and it landed on the skull and crossbones, everyone except Chris and Chef either gasped or looked struck dumb
Mike had transformed into Mal while nobody was looking and he gave Michiko her meal, Mal winked at her, letting her know it was part of his plan, Johan and Briar saw Mal wink at her, they glared at him
Michiko slowly uncovered the dish revealing it to be a bee hive with bees still swarming it, Michiko just stared at the hive too scared to move
"So what's it gonna be Michiko? Take a bite and risk getting stung, or give up and be eliminated for the rest of the challenge?" Chris questioned, Michiko readied herself and grabbed a piece of the hive and ate it, she seemed happy with the taste but she soon ran away as some bees came out of the hive. The bees ignored Michiko and just flew away with the hive.
"What is with you people and getting all the easy stuff?!" Chris questioned, he was getting impatient and wanted people to give up
Viola went up next, the wheel landed on the star this time
"Alright! Now things are gonna get interesting! This is how the star works Viola, you can either A. Have one of the interns eat the meal for you!" Chris began, the interns looked wide-eyed "Or, you can make one of your teammates spin for you, either way you're safe!" Viola smiled at this
"I pick... the interns!" She replied
"Alright, which one is gonna spin?" Chris asked
"Johan why don't you have a go at it?" Viola said, smirking at him, Johan smugly got up and spun the wheel landing on a flag symbol
"The flag symbol means-" Chris began before being interrupted again
"A food from a different country? Tamara asked
"Yes! And please Let Me Finish!" Chris shouted, Tamara blushed in embarrassment
Nikki handed Johan his dish
"Good luck!" She said to him, she smiled at him and he nervously smiled back
Johan uncovered the dish, which was revealed to be a green apple of some kind, Johan was confused but quickly took a bite and swallowed it, Briar was shocked that he ate it
*confessional*
Briar: I can't believe he actually ate it, that apple is supposed to cause horrible swelling and a rash to any part of the body it touches, but what was it called?!
*end confessional*
Some time later more people had spun the wheel, the foods began to get more and more disgusting but nobody was giving up, eventually Johan began choking
"Hey, Johan... you ok?" Chris asked, Johan continued choking, Nikki noticed his hand had a rash on it
"Chef!" Chris called out, Chef immediately rushed Johan to the infirmary tent
"Chris this is all because of that apple, it's dangerous!" Briar shouted
"I didn't know that! How was I supposed to know that the apple would make Johan sick?" Chris remarked, he was telling the truth when he said he didn't know about the apple's side effects
"Well I hope Chef can help him!" Briar replied, Nikki went off to check on Johan
"Anyway... Gophers, you're up!" Chris said, trying to lighten the mood at least a little bit
"Luis went up again and spun the wheel, he had been surprisingly lucky in this challenge, he only had to eat fruits and real food like steak, even on this spin he was lucky enough to get the fork and knife symbol, he revealed his dish to be grilled tuna, however Luis was too full to take a bite
"I- I can't eat any more..." Luis said sadly
"You have to either take a bite or give up and if you spew, you lose!" Chris stated
Luis reluctantly took a bite and swallowed, but he soon threw up afterwards
"Finally someone goes down!" Chris said happily "Bass you're up!"
Nikki and Johan
Nikki walked into the Infirmary tent where Johan was taken to, he was throwing up into a bag, Chef was preparing some medicine for him
"Hey Johan, how ya' feeling?" She asked with a sympathetic smile
"A little better, the swelling and rash is gone but-" Johan says before vomiting again, Nikki turns away, not wanting to see her friend in pain
Chef then gives Johan the medicine
"Here kid, you should be feelin' good in about an hour." Chef tells him
"Thanks Chef..." Johan answers, Chef takes his leave and returns to help in the challenge, Nikki and Johan watch the challenge through a TV in the infirmary
The challenge
Several hours later, more contestants had either been eliminated due to either getting sick or backing down, the only contestants who managed to make it through to the last round were Dutch, Tamara, Viola, Ruby, Corlissa, and Charlie. Johan and Nikki returned to help out in the challenge with Johan fully recovered
"Finally, this is it campers! The last round and that means no more wheel!" Chris announced, the remaining campers were not too happy about it
"Bass, its your turn!" Chris said, Mike handed Corlissa her dish, it was a smoothie it looked like it was made of fruit. Before Corlissa could even take a sip she threw up, the 5 remaining contestants could not bear to watch Corlissa be sick, Damion quickly rushed to her aide, and escorted her to the infirmary tent.
"Well that just leaves 5 of you left!" Chris said, Sapphire handed Viola her dish
"Nope, that's it! Im done!" She proclaimed
"Alrighty then! To make this last round interesting we're going to have one last change." Chris said, he brought out a table that could fit 4 people and had the remaining 4 sit there, he personally brought out a tray with 4 dishes and laid it down on the table, he spun the tray to shuffle the dishes around
"One last round campers, this free-for-all will decide the winner!" He said smirking, once he finished shuffling them the campers opened the dishes. Dutch, Tamara, Ruby, and Charlie revealed their dishes, Dutch had a sandwich, Charlie had a Jalapeño Pepper, Ruby had a chocolate bar, and Tamara had Ginger Ale.
All 4 campers took a bite of their meal (or in Tamara's case, a sip of her drink). Ruby threw up almost immediately, Hayden was glaring at Tamara to throw the challenge so they could eliminate Ruby, Charlie looked like he was about to throw up, Dutch was pounding on the table trying to keep his food down, Tamara's cheeks bulged. Eventually Dutch threw up.
"It all comes down to this! Who can keep it down the longest!" Chris proclaimed
Tamara couldn't hold it in anymore, but she didn't throw up, she let out an extremely loud belch that even disturbed some of the wildlife, once she finished she blushed as red as her hair and covered her face in her hands, she felt horrified and she knew she would be laughed at, to her surprise,, some of them applauded her, or they were laughing WITH her. While everyone was laughing or applauding Charlie finally vomited, giving the Gophers the victory!
"Well, it looks like Charlie finally let it go! The Gophers win!" Chris stated, the Gophers cheered and lifted Tamara up
"Um... guys, I dont think you want to be under me right now!" She warned
"Bass, looks like I'll be seeing you at the campfire ceremony again!" Chris taunted, the Bass groaned
At the Intern's cabin Joham and Briar pulled Mike aside, they still needed to talk to him
"Mike, what's going on, you've been acting pretty strange, even with your Multiple Personality Disorder!" Briar begins before stopping herself, as she never told Johan about Mike's condition, Johan however didn't seem surprised, Briar notices this...
"Y-You knew?!" She asks Johan
"Nope, but I had a feeling he did, besides ive seen a lot of crazy stuff on this island already this is the least of my problems." He responds "Anyway Mike, what was with you and Michiko, we saw you wink at her earlier, or was it a personality..."
"Yeah... its one of my personalities, his name is Mal, and hes pure evil, I've been sent to juvie because of him, I managed to keep him sealed off for a while but ever since I saw Michiko in the maze, he just came back out, Briar said she'll help me with my disorder but I dont know how I can suppress Mal again, I was lucky before!" Mike admitted
"Well we'll do whatever we can to help Mike, we promise!' Briar stated, Johan nodded his head in agreement, Mike smiled at the two. In the other room Sapphire opened the fridge and was met with a pie being flung into her face!
"Very funny guys!" She called out before grabbing a soda and taking a seat, but she found that her seat was wet . When she stood up she found that someone wet the seat on purpose, as a result Sapphire looked like she wet herself.
"Dammit guys! Ugh!" She whined before storming off to her room Johan and Nikki high-five and laugh as they had planned the prank together
Elimination ceremony
"Alright, you all know the drill by now! The following campers are safe!"
"Blake!"
"Corlissa!"
"Damion!"
"Dominic!"
"Charlotte!"
"And Michiko!"
"Dutch, back at the bottom 2 again?" Chris chuckled
"Bite me McLean!" Dutch retaliated
"And Charlie, not really much to say about you, you dont say much!" Chris said, Charlie just shrugged at his statement
"And the final marshmallow goes too..."

"Dutch!"
"Sorry Charlie, the Boat of Losers is that way!"
*confessionals*
Blake: There weren't any hard feelings in voting Charlie off, but he didn't say much...
Damion: Charlie was an ok guy, but voting him off may have been the right choice, I just hope keeping Dutch around wont come back to bite us later!
Charlotte: Well, I guess this means everyone can call me Charlie... maybe
*end confrssionals*
"So 6 are gone and 16 remain, who will be the next camper booted off? Find out next time on Total Drama Island!" Chris announced
So Charlie is gone, I apologize to his creator, and to the creators of Bella and Derek, I know you all expected your characters to go farther but someone has to go. Plus it was very difficult to write for Charlie, he and Dominic are meant to be characters that are quiet, not shy but quiet, so writing for them isn't easy. But I hope you all enjoyed the chapter! ^_^
