This is it everyone! The halfway point and one of my personal favorite episodes! I want to take this time to thank you guys for sticking with me this far! But we're not done yet, we've still got a while to got before we reach the finale! But enough waiting, enjoy! ^_^
Chris was in the mess hall giving the recap, Chef was cooking something in the kitchen, both were wearing gas masks for some reason
"Last time on Total Drama Island, the remaining 12 campers faced their greatest fears, some were at the very least, reasonable (Astrid, Tamara, Luis, and Hayden)! While others were a bit strange (Dutch and Michael)! Corlissa and Damion are still going strong as a couple, but a couple of interns Really Need To Hook Up Already (I think you know who I'm referring to)! We're at the halfway mark and things are gonna get more dramatic from here! What surprises are in store for our campers this time on Total. Drama. Island!"
It was morning and Briar had just woken up, she was going to go to the bathroom, but when she stepped out of the room she was met with a shower of flour (see what I did there)
"Ugh! Seriously, you guys are starting THIS early!?" Briar shouted, from the boys' room Johan and Mike high - fived
Later, during breakfast, Sapphire took an apple from the counter and bit into it. But she quickly spit it out in disgust when she found out it was plastic
"Gross! Oh you guys are so dead!" She pouted, Ciana smirked devious while nobody was looking
*confessionals*
Nikki: This prank war is getting REALLY intense, 2 days ago Ciana and Sapphire soaked me and Briar while we were sleeping!
Johan: Looks like nobody's holding back anymore... I'll try to avoid pranking Nikki, it just doesn't seem right...
*end confessionals*
Meanwhile, in the Gopher boys, Hayden and the other boys were discussing the situation with the teams
"Look, all I'm saying is that if we're going to survive in this game we're going to have to make allies! If we ally ourselves with Dutch we can have enough muscle to push the girls back!" Hayden stated, Michael and Luis looked very skeptical
"If we expand the guy's alliance we'll have Dutch's brawns, Luis' brains, and with my strategies, we can make the final 4 and just get rid of Dutch, if push comes to shove, we vote off Damion!" He finished
*confessionals*
Michael: An alliance with Dutch!? I don't like it, but Hayden has a point...
Luis: Why Dutch!? *he sighs* Hopefully Hayden sees the error of his ways and gets rid of Dutch A.S.A.P
Hayden: Now I have 3 suckers in the palm of my hand! Chris will undoubtedly merge the teams very soon, and once that happens I'll dump Tamara and be one step closer to the money!
*end confessionals*
"Attention campers! Head over to the mess hall for a special meeting!" Chris announced over the intercom
The 11 campers were at the mess hall, Chris, Chef, and the interns were waiting for them, once they all got settled Chris began to speak
"Congrats campers for making it to the halfway point! As a reward there will be no elimination tonight!"
The contestants cheered at the good news
"But we will still have a challenge, but before we start I'm making a little change with the teams
*confessional*
Hayden: Finally! It's about time Chris merged the teams!
*end confessional*
"Today's challenge will be a classic Battle of the Sexes!" Chris stated "The guys will sit at the Gophers table while the girls take the Bass'!"
"Hold on, the girls outnumber us though!" Luis argued, Chris wasted no time in answering
"Which is why the interns will also be competing!" He said, the interns all gasped at this revelation
"But the girls still outnumber us! If anything it widened their strength in numbers!" Luis noted
"Meh! Anyway the reward itself is a relaxing stay at a spa hotel away from the island for a few days! And the challenge... hehehehe!" Chris explained, he began laughing maniacally before he could explain the challenge, Chef was laughing with him. Nikki and Johan looked at each other with worry.
"What's the challenge McLean!?" Ruby asked impatiently, Chris stopped laughing
"Remember the Wheel of Food!" He asked, the campers groaned
"A little too well..." Johan said, he had an annoyed look on his face
"Hey! I didn't know that fruit was poisonous!" Chris responded "Anyway, this challenge isn't the Wheel of Food! Chef will serve you a 5 course meal made up entirely of disgusting foods! The first team to finish the meal gets a point! Best of 5 wins!" The campers and interns all looked very unsettled...
"As for right now, from now on the boys will all stay in the Bass cabin and the girls will stay in the Gophers! Once you're all settled, meet me back here!" Chris said, the campers all went to move their things, Mike and Johan kept an eye on Michael and Dutch just to make sure no fights broke out
Michael, Luis, and Hayden moved their things over to the boys' cabin, Michael and Dutch glared at each other, Luis was scared for his friend and himself. Damion welcomed the group with open arms and Hayden was focused on his plan.
"So... Welcome to the cabin guys!" Damion greeted, the Gopher boys laid out their things, Hayden began to speak
"Well... gentlemen... The girls outnumber us, so the smartest thing we can do is team up and take them out before they can get to us! I know tensions are high between a few of us but we have to work past that, once the 5 of us are left then it's every man for himself!" He proclaimed, Dutch glanced at him silently before glaring at Michael again
"...Fine..." He said
"Sounds good!" Damion agreed, he tried to sound cheery to lighten the mood a bit. They continued to get settled, Damion began talking with Luis, the two seemed to get along fairly well, Hayden joined the two, trying to get on their good sides. Meanwhile, the girls all seemed to get along well, Astrid was persuading them to join the girls' alliance
"If we work together we can take out the boys fast! Think about it, the faster the stronger guys like Michael and Dutch are gone the easier it'll be for us to take out the other boys!" Astrid said, Charlotte seemed interested but Corlissa was a bit unsure, she didn't want to vote Damion off
"I don't know..." Corlissa said
"I'm in!" Charlotte exclaimed
"We'll give you some time Corlissa, Tamara was unsure at first since she IS dating Hayden, but she's all for the idea now!" Viola explained
"Alright..." Corlissa gave in
"Don't worry, we'll promise to have Hayden and Damion be the last two boys gone!" Ruby added, Corlissa was going to respond but Chris turned on the intercom before she could
"Campers! Return to the mess hall! Now!"
The groups were given their first meal, it appeared to be meatballs of some kind
"Meatballs? This'll be easy!" Dutch said over confidently, he wasted no time in eating his meal, everyone else ate normally
"C'mon McLean, you're not going soft on us are ya'?!" Astrid questioned
"Glad you're all enjoying the meat balls, I feel sorry for the bulls those meatballs came from!" Chris taunted, everybody's eyes grew wide in shock
"Wait... so these are..." Damion stammered
"Yup! Those are Bull meatballs! Hehe!" Chris chuckled, the guys looked sick to their stomachs, the girls looked shocked as well but they continued eating
*confessionals*
Hayden: Yeesh! That's gotta hurt!
Damion: Oh God! *he is holding his crotch in pain and sympathy*
Johan: Un momente de silencio por nuestros hermanos por favor! [He is speaking in Spanish, what he's saying is... "A moment of silence for our fallen brothers please...]
*end confessionals*
The boys are having difficulty even eating the food, Johan and Luis already look sick. The girls however easily eat their meatballs
"What's wrong boys? Can't eat a few meatballs!?" Lotte taunts t
hem by eating another meatball, the guys look on in pain
"Looks like the girls take the first round! Two more wins and they get the reward!" Chris announced "Our next dish is!" Chris sets up 2 large plates on each table, he uncovers them and they are revealed to be pizza! However the toppings are live Grasshoppers, live Tuna, blades of grass, and spicy peppers!
About a half hour later, both sides have the pizza eaten except for one slice each, Viola and Luis have not finished their slice
"Grasshoppers!? Seriously!?" Viola shouted, Chris shrugged at her statement while Luis was gathering the courage to finished
"C'mon Squirt, eat it already!" Dutch threatened, Luis ate his pizza in fear, scoring a point for his team
"The score is at 1 each! Let's keep going!" Chris exclaimed cheerfully
*confessionals*
Tamara: This is not going to go well! I hope Hayden can take it... what am I saying!? Of course he'll make it!
Johan: *he looks incredibly sick to his stomach* I don't have a strong stomach to begin with, so this challenge will be torture!
Viola: Ok, I haven't really conquered my ear of bugs, and I WILL NOT eat any more! I only did it for my team!
*end confessionals*
The next two rounds got worse for the competitors, Round 3, they had to drink shredded leaves with Chef's mystery meat, the boys managed to take the win for that round, putting them in the lead by one point
Round 4 was a bowl of noodle soup, however the noodles were replaced with worms, Johan couldn't keep it together, he ran outside of the mess hall and threw up, Luis followed soon after. The girls however managed to keep it together, they all finished but they looked incredibly sick afterwards.
Round 5 eventually came, Chris looked very impressed with how some of the campers have been holding up
"I gotta admit, I'm surprised most of you haven't barfed yet! Anyway the score is tied at 2 each, this is the final round! Winner take all! Your last meal is..." Chris said, he and Chef handed the contestants their meals
"...Whale Burgers!" He said, Viola looked horrified, Tamara looked gobsmacked, Johan and Luis looked disgusted
"I am NOT eating this!" Viola proclaimed
"You can! You have to!" Ciana said
"I can't do this either! It's just too disgusting!" Briar added, Luis nodded in agreement
"Save the whales!" Damion and Johan said simultaneously. Tamara was sobbing, she couldn't bring herself to eat part of a whale
"Alright! I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this... Chef!" Chris called out for Chef, Chef nodded back at him, they both had a plan
Chef covered the intern's table in a special cloth, Chris began to speak
"I was hoping it wouldn't have to come to this. This is the sudden death round! There will be 30 shot glasses of Chef's mixture in the glasses, whoever drinks more for their team wins the prize of staying in the spa hotel!" Chris announced "But there's a catch, you don't pick a member from your team, you pick someone from the other team!" Everyone gasped in shock.
Several minutes passed
"Alright, Boys, who did you pick?" Chris asked them
"We chose... Viola!" Luis said
"How about you girls?" Chris questioned
"We chose Luis..." Ruby answered
*confessionals*
Viola: I think I can do this! As long as we don't have to eat bugs
Luis: Me!? Oh come on!
Dutch: Yup, we're boned!
*end confessionals*
The two campers took their place at the table, Chef brought out 30 shot glasses and a blender. The blender was filled with bugs of all kinds from roaches, to millipedes, to even flies. Viola went pale when she saw the bugs. Chef blended the bugs, making a disgusting reddish brown juice, he poured the concoction into the 30 shot glasses.
"Whenever you're ready!" Chris said "This is gonna be sick! Literally!"
"You better do this pipsqueak!" Dutch threatened, Luis gulped in fear
"You can do this Viola!" Nikki cheered, Viola still looked sick
The two began to drink the juice. Miraculously, Luis managed to beat Viola, but only barely Viola drank 14 glasses, Luis drank 16.
"And the guys take the win!" Chris announced
The guys cheered while the girls groaned, in about 5 seconds the cheers turned into disgust as Luis and Viola threw up almost simultaneously. This was followed by everyone else throwing up, even Chris and Chef looked sick though they kept it together
At sunset, the boys were about to head on their boat, the girls were watching enviously, Johan turned to Nikki. He smiled sweetly at her, she smiled back at him, and with that, the boys went off, though before the ship sailed, Luis ran over to the railing of the boat and threw up again.
And so that was my take on the 'Brunch of Disgustingness", I loved this episode! Hope you guys all enjoyed! Next time, the eliminations are back!
