Sorry for being a bit late with this chapter, I've been having some issues with my phone (I update the chapters using my phone, which explains why there are so many errors, anyway, other than my problems this chapter is up and ready for you to enjoy! Also 50 reviews! *does happy dance* ^_^
Chris was standing by the dock ready to give the recap, in the background Chef had just exited the mess hall and was talking to someone on the phone
"Last time on Total Drama Island, the remaining 13 campers had a chance to truly enjoy the wonders of nature, which included, fishing, foraging for food, and meeting the wildlife, hehe. Michael and Luis, seem to be getting along well, The Killer Bass seems to be all lovey-dovey, which made it all the more painful for Blake as she had to say goodbye to her crush, Dominic!"
Chef approaches Chris and hands him the phone
"... Mmm-hmm... alright, looks like our special guests are ready! 12 campers remain! We're almost at the halfway point! Who will be the next one to take a ride on the boat of losers? Find out right here, right now on Total Drama Island!"
It was just after Dominic's elimination, Blake was still at the dock, she was crying a little bit, Corlissa took her to the campfire pit where the other Bass were waiting.
"Well, it had to happen at some point." Dutch said, earning him a few glares from the others, they sat at the campfire quietly until the Gophers arrived with some snacks they got from the Tuck Shop.
"What do you guys want? Come to rub your victory in our faces?" Blake asked
"Actually we felt bad about you guys having to vote someone off since it would be a high chance that a relationship would have suffered!" Luis stated, the interns arrived soon afterwards
"Now what are you 6 doing here?" Damion asked
"Chris asked us to stay out of the intern's cabin while the wall is being repaired, I'm still shocked at how a cooked fish just flies in through the dining room window, it attracted a bear that just bursts through the wall, thankfully Ciana knocked it out with one punch!" Johan explained
"Well while were here, wanna just chat?" Tamara suggested, the others actually seemed ok with it
Unbeknownst to them all, the food they brought attracted rats
"AHHHH! Rats, get them out of here!" Johan screamed
"Oh calm down you big baby!" Ciana teased
"Its ok! You're gonna be fine!" Nikki reassured, she placed her hand on Johan's, they looked into each other's eyes and blushed
"Sorry about that, im just terrified of rats... and spiders!" Admitted Johan
"Ok, now spiders I agree with, they're just... ewwww! Really any bug is like that for me!" Viola said
*confessional*
Ruby: And then everybody started talking about their fears! Hayden was scared if clowns, Viola is scared of bugs, Charlotte is scared if being isolated in darkness, even Corlissa admitted she's scared if Makeovers! Blake said she was scared of her mom for whatever reason...
*end confessional*
"What about you Damion?" Luis asked
"Honestly, im scared of sadness, I just cant deal with people upset!" Damion admitted "What about you Dutch?"
Dutch took a few moments of silence before sighing in defeat and giving his answer
"Im scared of not having control alright!" Dutch said
"What about you Tamara?" Nikki asked
"Im claustrophobic! I can't deal with tight spaces!" Tamara said
"I agree!" Luis said
"Same here!" Astrid added, 3 campers were claustrophobic
"How about you Michael?" Luis asked
"Alright... I'm scared of cheerleaders!" Michael admitted, he blushed as he said this
There were a few laughs around the campfire, Michael blushed the in embarrassment
"What about Ruby?" Hayden questioned, all eyes went towards her
"Im scared of drowning..." she admitted
"Well it's getting late, you guys should get some rest!" Mike said
"Yeah, the hole should be done by now! If not it just shows how cheap Chris is!" Johan remarked, and everyone turned in for the night
The interns had all woken up and were eating breakfast, Nikki went into the dining room.
"Morning guys!" Nikki greeted, she sat down next to Johan, the others watched them expectantly
"Oh, m-morning Nikki!" Johan returned the greeting, he blushed a bit, Nikki then notices that the others are watching them
"What? Do I have something on my face?" She asks
"Will you two just kiss already!" Ciana exclaims, the two interns' eyes go wide in surprise, a blush going on their faces
"Why do you want us to kiss so badly?" Johan asked
"Oh come on, we're not the only ones waiting for you two to kiss!" Sapphire announced
*confessionals*
Nikki: They're right! They're not the only ones waiting for me and Johan to kiss, I've checked some Total Drama blogs and the official website. Apparently a lot of you guys want me and Johan to kiss... maybe you'll get your wish *she blushes*
Johan: Well, it's no secret that I like Nikki, but I don't think she'd want a guy like me...
Mike: All the couples on the show make me remember that I'm still single, and even Mal found someone!
Ciana: Hey, I just said what everyone was thinking!
Briar: Personally, I think that Nikki and Johan's relationship should just progress naturally, it may be slow but it'll happen!
Sapphire: Nikki better kiss Johan soon or else I will! Haha, I'm just joking!
*end confessionals*
Inside the Killer Bass' cabin, Corlissa was comforting Blake who was still upset over Dominic leaving
"Don't worry about Dominic leaving, just think of it as a reason to fight for the money!" Corlissa said, trying to cheer up her friend
"I know but I just miss him so much!" Blake said
"Well don't let him being gone stop you! Now you have nothing to hold back!" Corlissa proclaimed, that seemed to get Blake out of her doldrums
*confessional*
Blake: Corlissa's right! Now that BOTH Derek and Dominic are gone, now I can really go commando!
*end confessional*
in the Gopher cabin, Hayden was watching Luis and Michael talk
"So it looks like the teams may merge soon!" Luis began
"That's true, and I'm positive the girls are gonna make an alliance to boot us off! So we have to make a guys alliance to counteract it!" Hayden said, butting into their conversation
"Um... yeah, sure Hayden..." Michael said, agreeing to the alliance
"Sounds good!" Luis said, joining as well
"Great!" Hayden said, smirking
The girls were making their next move as well
"So we've been lucky for a while, but that doesn't mean we're invincible!" Viola said
"So are we still targeting Michael?" Ruby asked
"Yup! Luis will be bummed but it's for the best! Its either him or Hayden!" Viola replied, Tamara looked upset when Viola mentioned voting off Hayden
"Plus the merge is coming soon." Ruby added
"That's another thing, if we're going to make it we're going to have to make Corlissa, Charlotte and Blake join the alliance! It'll make us get 7 votes against the guys, we're set if that happens!" Astrid cheered
"Then once the 7 girls are left we'll just have to play for keeps..." Viola said, the others slowly nodded their heads
*confessionals*
Astrid: This girl's alliance is great! It just proves that girls are good at planning! Meanwhile the guys argue a lot! I mean Dutch and Michael fight a lot and Dutch bullies Luis, meanwhile Damion and Hayden are dating Corlissa and Tammy, im sure they'll be happy once the plan is a success!
Viola: Once the plan is put in action I can almost guarantee that either Michael or Dutch is getting booted off!
*end confessionals*
Chef turned on the intercom
"Attention maggots! Report to the Mess Hall for breakfast!" He shouted
The contestants and interns were all in the mess hall, Lotte and Dutch were talking to each other
"10 more suckers left and then the money is hours!" Lotte plotted, Dutch looked at her, clearly smitten
"Yeah..." Dutch answered, Lotte didn't really seem to notice Dutch
*confessionals*
Lotte: And by 'ours' I mean MINE! BWAHAHAHAHA!
Dutch: You know what! Fine! I'll say it, I like Charlotte! There, happy now!?
*end confessionals*
Chris entered the mess hall and began to speak "Attention campers! Today's challenge is all about fear!" As Chris said this, a spider landed in front of Viola, causing her to scream and flick the spider away, it landed on Johan who began screaming as well, Ciana smacked him with her tray, flinging the spider off of him. The spider landed on the floor of the mess hall, Briar decided to take action
"Oh for Pete's sake, stop it! You're frightening the poor thing!" She said, she picked the spider up and let it go outside of the mess hall
"Hehe, that was awesome! Anyway let's see who's going first!" Chris said, he took out a hat with paper inside, the papers had the names of all the remaining contestants on it "And it looks like Ruby is going first! Well Ruby, I hope you're ready for a swim!" Ruby's eyes went wide with surprise
The group stood at a beach, Ruby was wearing her bathing suit
Flashback:
"I'm scared of drowning..." ~Ruby
"Ruby, to score a point for your team all you need to do is stay underwater for 1 minute!" Chris announces
"Hey, wait a sec, if they have more team members than us how can we win?" Dutch protests
"Dutch there is a chance that they make back out of the challenge, if 4 of the Bass do their challenge and only 3 of the Bass complete theirs then the Bass win! But that's just an example!" Chris says
Ruby takes a deep breath and goes underwater, Chris turns on a counter to tell how long Ruby is underwater, everyone remains silent until Chris speaks up
"Ruby, you've completed your minute, you can come up now!" Chris announces, from down below Ruby only heard Chris mumble something, she assumed that Chris would leave her there so she went back up to the surface
"Please tell me I got it!" Ruby pleads, Chris nods his head in approval, letting Ruby know she successfully completed her challenge
"Alright, next is..." Chris began picking a name again, he picked a paper out and read it "Damion!"
Damion followed Chris to the mess hall, he set up a presentation and Damion had to watch it
Flashback:
"Honestly im scared of sadness, I just cant deal with people upset" ~Damion
"Damion, for your challenge, you need to watch this hour long presentation!" Chris said l
"...That's it?" Damion asked
"Yup that's it! Think you can handle it!" Chris asked, Damion confidently nodded his head "Great, then this shouldn't be too difficult for ya'!" Chris remarked with a sly grin
Corlissa noticed Chris' grin and became a bit worried for Damion
"Alright, I'll see you in an hour Damion!" Chris said before getting everyone outside, everyone left the mess hall, the interns and Corlissa looked inside the mess hall through the window, the presentation Damion needed to watch started playing.
It was a presentation about animal abuse, it looked like anybody watching it could start crying! Damion lasted about 5 minutes before he started crying, he couldn't stand to see the animals hurt and upset, the sad music that played along with it was not helping
Chris gathered everyone (minus Damion) to the amphitheater, and he was about to chose the next camper
"And the next challenge is for... Charlotte!"
Flashback:
"Charlotte is afraid of being isolated in darkness" ~Ruby
Charlotte was lead to a small cabin, it had no windows at all
"Charlotte all you need to do is to stay in this dark cabin for an hour!" Chris said, Charlotte was visibly shaken but she swallowed her pride and entered the darkness
*confessional*
Charlotte: Me and Lotte actually have different fears, I'm scared of isolation, and Lotte is afraid of the dark, being isolated in the dark would bring us both down! But I need to be strong!
*end confessional*
Dutch watched Charlotte enter the cabin, he looked visibly worried. Chris locked the door to the cabin, leaving Charlotte inside
Next was Viola, a large tub of bugs or of varying varieties swarmed inside
"...ewwww! Really any bug is like that for me!" ~Viola"
"Well Viola, if you can sit in this tub of bugs for 10 full seconds, you score a point for your team!" Chris said, Viola stood frozen in fear before slowly getting into the tub of bugs, the timer began to count down from 10
*confessionals*
Viola: GROSS! GROSS! GROSS!
Johan: I've, never felt such a strange combination of pity... and indigestion!
Nikki: Ewwwww
*end confessionals*
Viola had just climbed out of the tub of bugs, her 10 seconds were finished scoring a point for her team
"And that's 2 points for the Gophers, and I think Damion and Charlotte's hour is up!
Chris went to the dark cabin and let Charlotte out, by that point she was Lotte however, Lotte ran out of the dark cabin and into the daylight. She ran into Dutch's arms.
Chris opened the door to the mess hall to check on Damion, the presentation had finished, Damion was sobbing, Corlissa went over to comfort him
"Damion, its ok, you made it!" Corlissa said, kissing her boyfriend on the cheek, he smiled at her
"Now that both Bass are finished, the score is even at 2 for each team!" Chris announced "Up next is Dutch!"
Chris brought Dutch to an empty field, Dutch was wearing a sort of green screen outfit, Chef wore a similar one as well, there were several tables with food on them laid out across several parts of the field
"Dutch, for your challenge, you'll have no control over your actions, Chef will be controlling your every move!" Chris stated, Dutch became nervous
"I'm scared of not being in control." ~Dutch
Chef made Dutch walk over to one of the tables, he grabbed a cooked fish and began hitting himself with it. Some of the others laughed at Dutch's misfortune, others just watched
Chef made Dutch slap himself, hit himself with a pie and made him dunk his head in ice water!
Chef finally gave Dutch one last punishment, he forced his face into a cake! Once the challenge was over, Dutch was bruised, covered in frosting, and soaking wet, but he still scored a point for his team!
*confessionals*
Michael: Ha! Karma's a bitch isn't it!
Luis: Seeing Dutch get what was coming to him felt great!
*end confessional*
"That's 3 points for the Gophers and 2 for the Bass, the next one up is... Hayden!
The group was back at the amphitheater, everyone was sitting down at the bleachers except for Hayden who was waiting on stage
"Hayden was scared of clowns..." ~Ruby
Mike walked up in stage wearing clown make up and a clown outfit. Hayden was not creeped out at all, Mike began making balloon animals and honking a horn but Hayden looked more annoyed than scared, Chris whispered something in Johan's ear, Johan understood and went back stage. Mike continued acting like a clown, he even told a few jokes! The others laughed a bit but Hayden still looked bored. That was when Johan opened up a floorboard below the stage behind Hayden. Johan also had clown makeup on, he looked like Pennywise the Clown from the Stephen King novel/movie "It"!
Johan spoke to Hayden in a creepy voice "Hello Hayden..." Hayden turned around and screamed at Johan's appearance, he tried to stomp on Johan, but Johan avoided Hayden's attack. He went back to Chris, removing his clown makeup, Chris began to speak
*confessionals*
Mike: Thank goodness I don't have to act like a clown anymore, it was embarrassing!
Hayden: Argh! I hate hate hate hate hate clowns!
Johan: Honestly, im not surprised dressing up as Pennywise scared Hayden! I mean have you SEEN the movie!?
*end confessionals*
"Since Hayden tried to fight back against the clowns, he earned a point for his team! Its still tied at 3 each!" He announced "Next up is... Corlissa!"
Corlissa was in the mess hall, Briar and Sapphire were with her, they had an array of makeup with them
"Even Corlissa admitted she was afraid of makeovers!" ~Ruby
"Corlissa, to earn the point for your team you have to let Briar and Sapphire give you a makeover and you have to keep it on for the rest of the challenge!" Chris explained, Corlissa gulped in fear
"Whenever you're ready girls!" Chris said, the two interns kicked everyone out of the mess hall, they wanted the makeover result to be a surprise. They began applying the makeup, Briar was putting on some blush while Sapphire worked on her nails.
About 15 minutes later, the door to the mess hall opened Briar and Sapphire stepped outside with Corlissa right behind them, they had a tablecloth in front of Corlissa, shielding her from the others. Everyone watched in suspence, especially Damion who looked worried. The interns removed the tablecloth and showed everyone Corlissa's new look. Corlissa's had her nails painted ruby red, her eyelashes had been done, she was wearing lipstick that matched her nails. Everyone looked shocked, the guys looked like they just saw a model, Nikki, Tamara, and Astrid looked a bit jealous. Corlissa looked upset about her new look.
"Alright Corlissa, you can NOT remove any of your makeup or you don't get the point!" Chris said "Alright, Michael, you're up!" Everyone left with Chris except for Damion who stopped Corlissa
"Corlissa..." Damion said, Corlissa tried to get away from Damion, she didn't want him to see her this way
"Corlissa, I think you look beautiful!" He said, the couple hugged and followed the others
Everyone stood at the dock, they were waiting for Michael's fear to arrive
"Alright... I'm scared of cheerleaders." ~Michael
Everyone was waiting for something to happen, a boat soon arrived with two girls on it, they looked very nearly identical, the only difference was that one of the girls had a beauty mark under her right eye, they wore red cheerleading uniforms and had pom-poms with them. They stepped off of the dock and Michael looked incredibly nervous when he saw them. Chris greeted the twins with his signature smile
"Amy and Sammy!" Tamara greeted cheerfully
"Hey Tammy!" The twins answered
"Amy and Samey, thanks for coming!" Chris said
"Um... my name is Sammy, not Samey!" The twin without the beauty mark said
"Amy says everyone calls you Samey!" Chris responded
"B-but-" Sammy stuttered before being interrupted
"Ugh! Can please stop talking you're wasting Chris' time!" Amy said, Sammy looked down in disappointment
*confessionals*
Michael: Argh! Whenever I get scared I tend to get really pissed and hit someone! And I can't just hit girls! *he punches a hole in the confessional wall* I friggin' hate cheerleaders, they're the devil in disguise, and honestly, I feel bad for Samey, she has to deal with her sister putting her down! But hey it ain't my business!
Johan: I don't know those twins but I already know I don't like Amy, Sammy seems nice though, she should stand up for herself!
Briar: Amy and Sammy obviously have a conflict between them, perhaps it has something to do with jealousy between the sisters?
*end confessionals*
"Michael, you have to help the twins practice their cheer!" Chris said
"All you need to do is catch us! Don't screw up!" Amy threatened, earning her a few glares
The twins began their cheer which consisted of various flips and cartwheels, to finish their cheer the twins did a high jump towards Michael, he was supposed to catch them, they got closer and closer until...
Michael safely caught them! He out them down gently...
"And that's another point for the Gophers!" Chris announced "Blake, you're the only Bass left!" He turned to the twins "As for you two, you're free to stay and watch the rest of the challenge or you can head off, its your choice!"
" I think I want to leave..." Sammy said
"You think or you know?" Amy responded, they didn't have time to argue as Chef put them in the boat and sent them off
Chris gathered everyone in front of the cabins, they were waiting for Lake's fear to arrive. Corlissa was giving Blake a pep talk
"C'mon Blake, you can do this!" She said to her nervous friend. Blake was taking deep breaths. Everyone else was just sitting around waiting
Eventually a woman arrived, she gave Blake an angry glare
"Blake..." she scowled
"Mom..." Blake glared at her mother
Things were extremely tense, not even Chris was sure what would happen, but he kept a straight face. The tension grew once the two began to yell and scream at each other
"Don't even bother coming home!" Blake's mom shouted
"Good I don't want to!" Blake retaliated
"That Dominic boy must be CRAZY if he's dating a girl like YOU!" Blake's mom yelled, Blake was shocked, she wanted to fight back but she was held back by Corlissa and Dutch, and even they had trouble holding Blake back. Blake's mom was ready to fight as well, but Ciana and Chef managed to get her onto the boat at the dock and send her off
"Well that was... awkward... but because Blake stood her ground I'm giving her team the point!" Chris announced, giving the Bass a final score of 5! "Since the last 3 campers all have the same fear, I'm having all 3 of you do it at once! Tamara, Luis, and Astrid, get ready!"
The 3 remaining campers gulped in fear
Everyone was by the cabin Charlotte was in earlier, the lights to the cabin were turned on this time however. Chris lead everyone to one of the rooms in the cabin, this room had no windows and it was dimly lit.
"Alright, if at least 2 of you can complete this challenge the Gophers take the win!" Explained Chris, he handed the 3 of them buttons "Pressing these buttons means you with drawl from the challenge!" Everyone stepped out of the room except the 3 facing their fears. Chris locked the door behind him.
"So... how has the day been for you, ladies?" Luis asked, the girls gave him an annoyed look, all 3 looked shocked when the walls of the room began to close in on them!
*confessionals*
Luis: *Luis is hyperventilating into a paper bag*
Tamara: *Tamara is shaking uncontrollably*
Astrid: Is this even legal?!
*end confessionals*
The walls had forced the 3 of them to be pushed together, they couldn't even move!
"AHHHHHHH!" They all SCREAMED, from outside, the others watched the drama unfold
"I can't look! Oh wait, yes I can!" Lotte said, Dutch smiled at her. The others looked scared for the 3 inside. The 3 doing the challenge were squeezed together, their faces pressed against each other's (except for Luis who was shorter than them). Eventually Luis broke down and pressed his panic button. The walls retracted to their original position. Chris reentered the room.
"Well it looks like Luis pressed his button! But since the girls didn't, the Gophers get 2 points making the final score 5 for the Bass and 6 for the Gophers! Killer Bass, looks like it's your third loss in a row!" Chris proclaimed
Later, the interns had returned to their cabin, Sapphire and Ciana had entered their room, but they were met with powder puffs to the face! From the hall Johan and Mike high - fived. Johan spoke to Mike...
"So Mike, have your personalities been keeping calm?" He asked
"Yeah, ever since Mal was released, the others have been taking things easy, they still come out sometimes but it's not too bad!" Mike answered, he had a smile on his face
Meanwhile, Damion was in front of the bathroom, Corlissa was inside taking off the makeup she had to wear. Lotte approached him...
"Hey Damion!" She said cheerfully
"Oh, hey Charlotte, looks like we're voting someone off again..." Damion replied
"Yeah, about that, I've been thinking, maybe we should vote Blake off, she's still upset over having both her brother and her boyfriend voted off! So maybe if she's voted off then she can see them again!" Lotte persuaded, Damion looked conflicted...
At the Elimination Ceremony, the 5 campers looked nervous, Amy and Sammy were invited back to watch the elimination. Sammy was going to hand Chris the marshmallows but Amy pushed her down and handed Chris the tray, causing the interns to glare at Amy
"You ok?" Johan asked, helping Sammy up
"Yeah, I'm fine..." Sammy replied without much enthusiasm
"Why don't you stand up to your sister?" Briar asked
"It's... complicated" She responded, the 3 of them began talking before Chris spoke up
"Alright, Killer Bass, 3 losses in a row. That must suck!" Chris teased, the Bass glared at him
"I'm only joking! Sheesh! Anyway you know the drill so I'll cut to the chase, the following campers are safe... Corlissa"

"Damion"

"And Charlotte!"
"Dutch and Blake... Dutch how many times have you been in the bottom 2? Like 5 times already?" Chris taunted, Dutch gave him a nasty glare "Hehe, anyway the final marshmallow goes to..."

"Dutch! Sorry Blake but you're out!" Chris said, Blake sighed and went to the Dock of Shame without any argument, however she had a pleasant surprise when she say Derek and Dominic waiting for her on the Boat of Losers. She ran up to Dominic and kissed him, she hugged her brother too!
Chris watched the 3 ride off into the moonlight "And with the couple reuniting, 11 campers remain! Things will only get more interesting from here! Find out what happens next time, on Total Drama Island!
And so 12 becomes 11. As for Blake, I enjoyed playing with her relationship with Dominic. The next chapter will be my personal favorite from season 1 so stay tuned! Hope you enjoyed the longest chapter yet!
