Time to see what's cooking for the reading world today.
Get it? Cooking? Ha ha!

Chris' recap: "Last time on Total Drama Everything, the two teams had an all-out paint war with various weapons. And it was quality entertainment. Some competitors stole the show. Others just sucked. And a few just got really unlucky. At least the love bug passed around, and the spies Sam and Snake finally smooched and became a thing. However, it was Dante who owned pretty much everyone by taking out Nom Nom with his bottle of ketchup, much to poor Chef's chargin. As a last ditch effort to stay safe and keep hidden, Nom Nom pulled the strings on another elimination by taking out his ally and secret keeper Rarity. It wasn't the end though. The unicorn then blabbed out everything about Nom Nom and his crew. And Julie didn't take it well. Poor Deadpool. Will he find a way to fix his friendship? And what do we have cooked up this week? Find out here! On Total! Drama! Everything!
*theme song*
Goku was peering his head into the boys' side of the Koala cabin. For a second, he had his head turned to a certain spot in the room. Eventually, however, he sighed, shook his head, and pulled his head back through the door, where Double D was waiting.
"Anything?" Double D asked the Saiyan. Goku just shook his head.
Both looked through the window to where Deadpool was lying. And it wasn't an easy thing to look at. He obviously wasn't asleep, but he just stared up at the ceiling. He looked absolutely miserable. His spandex suit was ragged with neglect, and his mask looked wet with tears. Every once in awhile, he would sigh sadly, as though filled with regret. It was obvious that the crazy mercenary they all knew was gone. In his place was a sad looking man with just the same suit. Goku and Double D looked away from the window.
"He's been like that for days," said Double D. "Ever since Rarity's elimination."
"What was it about Rarity that he's sad about?" Goku asked.
Double D explained, "It wasn't Rarity herself. It was what she said. Apart from him being in Nom Nom's alliance, she also said something about Julie."
Flashback:
"There's more!" Rarity had said. "Julie, Deadpool has been deceiving you the whole time!"
Julie stared at her. "What do you mean?"
"He was ordered to fake his friendship with you to get closer to the Ogres. And he was eventually going to betray you….."
"From what I've heard," added Double D, "she didn't take it well."
And he wasn't wrong. Ever since the elimination, Julie has acted like Deadpool didn't even exist. Every time he had tried to get her attention, she had refused to acknowledge him in the slightest. Everyone had noticed this change. And Nom Nom and Mandy had so far shown no emotion toward Deadpool's misery. In fact, they really didn't care. Nom Nom simply laughed at Deadpool's "foolish" views.
"I hope he pulls himself together," said Goku. "Otherwise, he won't be much good to the team."
Double D took one last look through the window. "To think the same person who annoyed everyone and wouldn't be quiet is now right there."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I was right," Double D said. "He's not really a bad guy."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Meanwhile, in the girl side of the Ogre cabin, Julie had in her hands another one of those video devices. She was rewatching a message sent by her boyfriend over and over.
Julie's message (submitted by Makeover name)
"Er….ugh, hi Julie!" Ben said. "So yeah, I'm so proud of you of course. You have shown a LOT of talent."
He then looked down and sighed.
"And about Deadpool," he continued, "I was watching and it seems like he actually wants to be friends. Maybe you should give him a chance to say his defense, or something."
*end*
Julie sighed and put the device on the floor. "I don't think I can Ben," she muttered.
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
While those two were moping, Sam and Snake were laughing. Snake had gotten a hilarious good luck message. That is, if you want to call it that.
Snake's message *submitted by Vegetalucard*
It shows the inside of Snake's base (the camera because of safety reasons). The answering machine beeps.
"Hey Snake," Otacon said. "Just a quick message to tell you I'll be coming over. Later."
…..
"Ummm, Snake?" Otacon was heard to say next. "Your front door's locked. Heh, I guess I'll visit you later."
…..
The next message is, "Ok, what is going on? Are you not at home? I call you on the cell, but it won't answer. I call you here, and no answer. Where are you?!
…..
"Snake, please answer me!" was Otacon's next message.
…..
Then the General gets on the line. "La lo lee la lo, la lo lee la lo."
…..
Otacon then yells, "Snake? Snake? SNAAAAAAAAAAKE!"
…..
Otacon then crashes into the base with an axe. "Alright Snake, *pant* *pant* where the *bleep* are you?"
He notices a note on the wall. He reads it.
"Total Drama Everything car to arrive at-oh, that's where he's been. Probably should fix that door now."
*end*
By the time it was over, both spies were on the floor, laughing. "That was the funniest thing I've seen on this island yet!" Sam cackled. "And we both saw Nom Nom claim he's a gummy bear!"
"Speaking of Nom Nom," Snake said when they calmed down, "shouldn't we be worried? We didn't exactly keep our kissing a secret. He has Mandy, who has been after us for awhile."
He had a point. "True," Sam responded, "but it's still us against her. Besides, they don't know about our own alliance. Nom Nom doesn't know that Yusei's on to him."
"Where is Yusei anyway?" Snake asked.
"With Lammy," Sam replied. "She also got a message from home. Besides, I think he likes hanging out with her."
Both laughed again.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I wonder what your friends are going to say," Yusei said to Lammy. She just shrugged and turned on the device.
Lammy's message (submitted by Trouble maker)
"Well done Lammy," said Chop Chop Master Onion. "You hav-"
He was interrupted by Kitty Kat. "OMG GIRL, THAT WAS SO EPIC HOW YOU CONQUERED YOUR FEARS!"
"Ahem," Chop Chop Master Onion stated. "I was trying to teach my student som-"
"I KNOW RIGHT?!" Ma-san yelled. "AND DURING THAT TALENT SHOW!"
CCMO sighed and cut off the video.
*end*
Yusei stared at the device for a while after that. "Did that one guy have an onion for a head?"
"You're talking with a lamb right now," Lammy pointed out. "Don't act so surprised."
The duelist nodded and said, "Good point. Is there anything else from Nom Nom and his alliance that I said last night?"
Lammy shook her head. "I wish you had told me earlier though."
"I'm sorry about that. I meant to tell you a few days ago, but-?"
The lamb just smiled and shushed him. "Don't worry about it," she said. "Unlike Julie, I'm very understanding. And as for that question you also asked me last night, yes, I will join you, Snake, Sam and Toph in your alliance."
"Fantastic," Yusei beamed. "Meet me at the edge of the forest tonight and we'll make it official."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I get to be in an alliance!" Lammy squealed. "And Yus-uh I mean really cool people are in it. Heh heh."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
As for Nom Nom and Mandy, they were currently meeting by themselves at the dock.
"I say we get rid of Shrek," said Mandy. "He doesn't have Goku's strength, but he's way smarter than him. Smarter than most of us, in fact. If he makes it to the merge, we could have a lot of trouble on our hands." Nom Nom nodded and grinned. It certainly was an idea.
"Where is that insane idiot?" Nom Nom asked, frustrated.
"Still moping in his cabin," Mandy replied.
Nom Nom sighed and said, "Well he had better get out of that massive nosedive. Honestly, who cares about Julie?"
"Apparently he does," Mandy added. "But we have other problems. That unicorn blabbermouth revealed us. Now the entire island is on our case. And those two lovebirds have been twittering together. Every. Single. Day."
The koala started to snicker. "Someone's jealous."
That got him a massive shiner on his left eye. He was fastening an eyepatch on it when the intercom turned on.
"Alrighty campers," Chris called. "Meet me in the kitchen in ten minutes. Time to see if you can take the heat."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Both teams slowly filled in the kitchen. "What happened to your eye?" Dante asked Nom Nom. He just gave a nasty glare.
Noticeably, Deadpool was the last to arrive. And he looked pretty much the same. He and Julie could barely look at each other. Even Dante couldn't help but feel sorry for the two. However, no one was able to stop and think about it, because Chris and Chef came in through the back door.
"Hello there, competitors," Chris said in his usual cheery voice. "For starters, what the heck happened to your eye Nom Nom?"
Nom Nom just gave another nasty glare.
"Let's hope it doesn't impede your ability to do the challenge." Chris continued. "As for the challenge, we're going back to the torturous cooking challenge. Both teams will cook a three course meal. The winning team gets immunity, and like the original challenge, a five-star dinner under the stars. The losers send someone home. It seems like the original thing, but there are differences."
"Such as?" Toph asked.
Chris smiled and said, "You will not have just me as a judge this time. You will have four others besides me, for a total of five. Chef's the second judge."
"So where are the other three?" Goku queried.
The host responded by opening the door behind him. "Come on in, guys."
Three familiar figures walked through the door, and everyone stared in surprise. The first to enter was a tall girl with dark hair, a brown cropped shirt with olive green shorts, and eyes filled with disdain. The second was a really big guy with blond hair, a Canadian t-shirt, and shorts. He could barely get through the door. The third to enter was an exceptionally pretty girl with blonde hair, an orange/red outfit, cowgirl boots, and blue eyes. She gave off a rather ditzy expression.
"May I introduce Heather, Owen, and Lindsay from the original seasons," Chris announced. "They will be on the panel of judges for your challenge, as well as Chef and myself."
Heather rolled her eyes. "As long as this is over quickly McLean," she said. "Everyone, know that I'm not easy to please."
"I'm just here to try some awesome food," Owen stated. "Hit me with whatever you got."
"Hi everyone," Lindsay introduced herself. "It's so good to see you all. And I'm excited to meet Yugi."
Everyone turned to Yusei, who was now slightly embarrassed. "I think you have the wrong guy," he said.
"You're not him?" Lindsay asked. She was now confused.
Chris laughed and kept the ball rolling. "Here are the details for the challenge. Both teams will present their courses, and we will each take a vote on which dish we liked best. Whichever team gets more votes wins the course. And whoever gets two out of three wins the challenge. Your team captains will be your head chefs. You can go with a standard theme or mix it up. We don't care. Just impress us. Any questions?"
Everyone shook their heads. "Good, now divide the kitchen and get to it."
With that, the five judges retreated to the dining area of the mess hall.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Heather may be a problem," said Nom Nom. "However, we all know Owen will eat just about anything that qualifies as food. And I'm sure Lindsay's stupid enough to pick my team just because I'm the Cutest Bear on the Internet. I have no worries. And we'll use the challenge to take down Shrek."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I admit most of my cookin' is more suited to ogres," Shrek stated. "But I can do this. This challenge will be ours to win. We'll show Nom Nom."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Wasn't Yugi the one that met that spirit guy named Astral?" Lindsay asked. "No wait, Yugi was the one the went to that huge academy for learning to play card games."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Shrek had gotten his team gathered up in a huddle. "Wha' kind of cookin' ability do y'all have?"
"The woman who raised me-her name is Martha-taught me a few things about cooking," Yusei replied. "Especially stew. I can help with the appetizer."
Shrek nodded. "Anyone else?
"I'll handle the entree," said Dante. "I'm not too shabby a cook." Julie said, "I'll join in on the entree." Both hi-fived.
Mandy stated, "I may be able to get a dessert out to the judges that will surprise them all."
"I'll also do dessert," Shrek added. "Yusei, are ya ok with making the appetizer by yourself?" The duelist nodded.
"And let's do a Mexican theme," the ogre also added. "That should add up to a colorful beef stew from Yusei, some enchiladas from Julie and Dante, and sopapillas from myself and Mandy. Everybody ready?" The team nodded and got to their stations.
However, Mandy took a glance at Nom Nom. He made a slight nod to her, which she returned. They knew what to do.
Nom Nom turned to his own team and said, "Ok, so who's doing what?"
"Dessert," Sam and Snake said at the same time. "Called it."
Toph raised her hand. "I have super keen senses to make up for my lack of sight. If I can become your taste tester, I should be able to know what's wrong with the dish."
Lammy said, "How hard can the entree be?" Double D smiled at her. "I'll join in too."
"That leaves Goku and Deadpool on the appetizer," Nom Nom told his team.
Goku nodded, but Deadpool simply said, "Got it." Everyone gasped.
"No quips?" Lammy asked. "No jokes at all?"
"Don't worry about that," Nom Nom said shortly. "I say we do a simple American theme. I want onion rings for the appetizers, burgers for the entree, and a chocolate lava cake for the dessert. I'll oversee everything to make sure it all goes how I want it to go."
The team nodded. Now both teams were cooking.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"I hope they all love burgers," said Goku.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Nom Nom looks like a pirate," said Sam. "It's pretty funny.
"I am so glad Snake and I are doing dessert together. It gives us a chance to work together again."
00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Fifteen minutes into the challenge, no one was having problems. On the Ogres' side, Dante was rolling cheese and meat into a corn tortilla, while Julie was rolling in just cheese. Yusei was cutting up vegetables and beef. Mandy was mixing up ingredients while Shrek shaped the dough. On the Koalas' side, Nom Nom was walking around and observing his team. Deadpool was making a breading and Goku coated the onions in the breading. Lammy and Double D were seasoning several hamburger patties and flipping them on the grill. And Sam and Snake smiled at each other as they mixed the ingredients for the cake. Eventually, problems started to arise.
"Those burgers look deformed," Nom Nom barked. "Double D, do you even know how to shape meat into patties."
Nervously, Double D said, "I'm sure they look fine. No one else said they had any problems."
Nom Nom looked in the poor kid's eye in a menacing way. "Are they captain of this team? Are they head chef? I don't think so. We do this my way. And my way is better-looking hamburger patties. Got that, sockhead?"
(Can you guys see the irony yet?)
"Alright then," Double D nervously breathed. "I'll see it gets done."
As he returned to his station, Toph walked over to Sam and Snake. "Looks like things aren't going too well for that guy."
"It's not just Nom Nom's captain status," Sam explained, "it's his alliance. People like Double D can easily crack under threat of elimination from Nom Nom. Especially now that he knows the jerk has people to back him up."
Double D looked back at Nom Nom and sighed. "Why is he like this?" Lammy shrugged and replied, "I have no idea."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Unlike the Koalas, the Ogres seemed to be doing great in moving his team along. "How are things comin' with the soup?" Shrek asked Yusei.
"It's almost done," Yusei responded. "All it needs is seasoning."
The ogre nodded. "Good. Get the finishing touches on it. Dante, how are the enchiladas?"
"We're halfway through," the demon hunter replied.
"And the sopapillas?"
Mandy simply gave a thumbs up.
Back at the Koala side, Toph was trying out the onion rings Deadpool and Goku made. "How is it?" Goku asked her. Toph smiled. "It's perfect."
After ten minutes, Chris walked into the kitchens. "I need whoever prepared the appetizers from both teams to come forth with your dish," he announced.
So Deadpool, Goku and Yusei walked into the main mess hall. Yusei was carrying a giant tray with five bowls of stew, and Goku was carrying five onion ring holders.
"We need both sides to explain their dish," Heather explained. "Blue jacket, you're up."
Yusei nodded and said, "I prepared a Mexican beef stew. Short and sweet. And I added a touch of salsa to bring out the flavors. I hope you enjoy."
"And you two?"
"We made some good ol' fashioned onion rings," said Deadpool. "You don't get tastier than those."
The judges nodded and start eating both dishes. "These are good," Chris stated. "But only one team can win the round. Each of us will now say who we vote for. For starters, while Yusei's stew was certainly flavorful, I've always been a sucker for onion rings. I give it to the Koalas."
"I'm not a fan of onion rings," Chef said next. "Besides, I love beef. Duelist takes it."
Heather was up next. "There are many things I'm not a fan of. They include cheap makeup, clothes that are out of dates, and idiots (she glares at Lindsay). I'm also not a fan of fatty fried foods like onion rings. And Yusei's stew was a more refined dish. I give it to the stew."
The next judge was Owen. "Onion rings are some of the best foods out there, and soup tasted awesome. So I'm just picking the onion rings for the heck of it."
"I forgot who's on what team," said Lindsay. "But I'll give it to the onion rings. Why? The onion rings just taste a whole lot better than the stew."
Chris nodded. "Then the round goes to the Cute Koalas," he said. "You three can return to your teams now."
Deadpool and Goku hi-fived as they reentered the kitchen. As Yusei tried to exit, Lindsay stopped him.
"I think I've got it now," she said. "Are you the guy with the red motorcycle?
Yusei sighed in relief. "Yes, you got it!"
"Yay," she cheered. "See you around, Jaden."
The poor duelist facepalmed.
"What?" Lindsay asked in confusion.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"He said I got the motorcycle thing right," Lindsay said. "Wait, is he the one with the Christmas hair?"
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"We won the round!" Deadpool cheered. The rest of the team also cheered.
And Nom Nom smiled. "Take that Yusei," he thought.
Then he turned to Lammy and Double D. "With that done, you two finish those burgers. Don't make us pick up the slack like you already have."
"Shut up, Gordon Ramsay," Dante yelled from across the room.
Meanwhile, Mandy was beginning to mold the dough into several pocket shapes. As she was working, she took a side glance at Shrek. It was interesting how well he could cook, considering who he was. He was known for terrorizing villages, scaring away angry mobs, and other stuff Mandy could only guess about. Yet he was married to a princess. And he had a lot of friends. What was it about that ogre that made him so likeable? What was his endgame? What was with that ogre…..ogre…
That's it! Just because Shrek was a really cool guy doesn't mean he wasn't still an ogre! And if there was one thing about ogres, it's that they were known for being incredibly bug infested. Mandy took a quick look at the cinnamon they were planning on using. They were to use it as a topping to the sopapillas. And she happened to have brought a collection of Billy's favorite snacks: maggots. She had an idea. Quickly, she ran out of the kitchen and to her cabin.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Looks like Mandy now knows what to do," Nom Nom said, smirking. "Shrek, it's time you realize there is only room for one captain."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
Later, Lammy and Double D from the Cute Koalas and Julie and Dante from the Green Ogres had brought their hamburgers and enchiladas and the judges were eating them.
"I'll go first," said Chris. "My hamburger had the right amount of seasoning, but it was a little dry. However, the enchiladas were perfect. Who knew you two could cook. My choice is the enchiladas."
"I second that," Chef added. "Mexican food is delicious."
Heather said, "For the same reason as last time, I will have to say the better dish was the enchiladas."
"Burgers are among the only things better than onion rings," Owen stated. "And my burger totally rocked!"
Lindsay giggled. "I like how pretty the enchiladas were. And how you added the jalapenos (how she pronounced it in Action) was stellar. I choose the enchiladas."
"Then the Ogres take the entree round," Chris said. "That means the dessert round will be what decides it."
The competitors nodded and walked back to the kitchen. By this time, Snake was adding the finishing touched to the lava cake and Shrek was pulling the sopapillas out of the oven. He smelled them, and it was clear by his face that they smelled amazing.
Mandy walked up to him and said, "I'll season them, but I'll say you did. I don't want to take the full credit for this stuff."
Though perplexed by this rare bit of kindness from Mandy, Shrek nodded. "Get the cinnamon on the sopapillas, then we present. This challenge is ours for sure. The judges will be surprised."
As Mandy walked to the flaky pastries, she held up the cinnamon cannister and said, "Surprised? You have no idea."
Finally, on the Koala side, Snake topped the five small lava cakes with some whipped cream and added a raspberry to each on. "They look beautiful," Sam said. Snake nodded and smiled. "We did a good job." Both sat down to relax, arm to arm.
After five minutes, every contestant filed into the dining area to witness the final round. Sam and Snake were anxious to know if they succeeded. Shrek looked entirely confident. And Mandy looked like she was expecting something.
"After an amazing appetizer and an exceptional entree," Chris announced, "it's time to decide which team wins the challenge with their delicious desserts. Mandy and Shrek, explain your dish."
Shrek nodded and said, "We've prepared a batch of sopapillas. They have a sweet side to them, and are topped with cinnamon sugar for a little extra spice."
Mandy continued, "I did the baking, he mixed the ingredients and sprinkled the cinnamon. We were equal in this."
"Spies, what about you?"
"We have made a chocolate lava cake," Snake explained. "It's topped with fudge frosting, whipped cream, and a raspberry."
The judges ate the lava cake first. They all nodded in satisfaction, but the spies looked a little nervous. What they failed to notice was that Nom Nom was smiling behind them.
The five judges each grabbed a sopapilla. At first glance, the dessert seemed normal. However, when Lindsay was about to take a bite out of hers…..
….a speck of cinnamon crawled toward her face.
She screamed. "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!"
And she threw the plate and the sopapilla across the room, hitting Deadpool's face. "OW!" Nom Nom burst into laughter at what had just happened.
"Hey are you ok?" Owen asked Lindsay.
She shook her head. "The cinnamon crawled to me!"
"What are you talking about?" Chris asked before taking a quick look at his sopapilla. That's when he noticed it.
Instead of the cinnamon sugar that was supposed to be there, there were dozens of tiny maggots. All were moving across the surface of the pastry. The other judges looked down at their food, and they were immediately disgusted. Heather back away as far as possible from her sopapilla. Even Chef was looking a little pale.
"Shrek!" Mandy yelled. "You said that was cinnamon sugar you sprinkled on those things! Not bugs!"
"That was cinnamon sugar," Shrek responded. "I checked the cannister!"
Mandy just glared and said, "You obviously did NOT check it! That was the most disgusting thing I've seen so far this entire competition. Not cool."
The rest of the team stared at the ogre. "She's right," said Dante. "Not cool."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Look at the Ogres eating up my lies," said Mandy. "Nom Nom convinced me to find a way to eliminate Shrek by throwing the challenge. I admit that doing this was risky, and I kinda wanted to win this, but it all was easy as pie. Though I hope I finally have my chance to take out those spy lovebirds."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Now that I'm sure we have overcome the shock," Chris announced, "I pick Sam and Snake's lava cake, for obvious reasons."
The other four judges said in unison, "Agreed."
"Then the winners of this challenge are the Cute Koalas! They get the dinner and the invincibility!"
The Koalas cheered at the news. Double D and Lammy hi-fived, the spies kissed, and Nom Nom simply looked as though he had completed a mission.
Then Chris turned to the Ogres. "Ogres," he said, "you're lucky I'm not going to complain to anyone about this. Mostly because no one likes a dirty rat. But you are all still going to the elimination. So good luck with that."
Then Lindsay once again walked to Yusei. "I think I know which one you are now," she said.
"Really?" The girl nodded
"I've figured out that you're….."
Yusei was excited. Lindsay finally knew which protagonist from his franchise he was.
"Yuma!"
Or not.
"Not even close," Yusei muttered with clenched teeth.

"What am I doing?" Deadpool asked himself. "As much as losing a friend sucks right now, I know I have to keep playing this game. And I have to find a way to get her back. At least I still have you TheMasterKat.
"And poor Yusei. He's really ticked off about Lindsay mixing him up again."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"Shrek is so gone," said Nom Nom.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"The little furry jerk convinced Mandy to sabotage her own team," said Snake. "It must be to eliminate Shrek. No surprise, as he's kind of a threat."
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
At the bonfire ceremony, all three judges were also watching. "Amazing how fast this team is dwindling," Chris said. "Now it's about to shrink even further. When I call your name, come and claim your marshmallow.
"Julie."
"Dante."
"And Yusei."
That left Shrek and Mandy, both being up there for clear reasons.
"Both of you were in charge of the disastrous dessert round," Chris said. "However, evidence points to Shrek. Though Mandy has been known to trick others before.
"The final marshmallow goes to….."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"..."
"...Mandy."
Mandy simply shrugged. "No surprises there," she said as she picked up her tasty treat.
"Sorry Shrek," Chris continued. "By a vote of 3 to 2, you're out."
"Wait," Julie added. "3 to 2? Who didn't vote for him?"
In response, Yusei raised his hand. "There wasn't enough evidence behind the claim."
Shrek smiled. "Thanks, man." Yusei nodded in reply.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
The cannon was still bedazzled from Rarity's magic. "Unfortunately," Chris explained, "we couldn't remove her magic. That cannon will have to remain like that for the rest of the season. Consider it the other mark Rarity has left."
"Just fire me out already," Shrek called (he could barely fit in the cannon).
"Sheesh, fine," Chris said, pushing the button. However, the cannon blast only sent Shrek about a hundred feet from the island and into the water. "You'll have to swim!" Chris yelled.
You could also hear Shrek yelling, "Oh come on!"
Now it was the special judges' turn to be shot out (well, the girls; Owen simply got a boat ride).
"Bye everyone!" Lindsay called. "And by Jaden!"
"UGH!" Yusei seethed. "I give up!" And he stalked to the woods, only hearing the cannon being fired.
When he reached the edge of the woods, Lammy was already there, as were Sam, Snake, and Toph.
"Let me guess," said Snake. "Lindsay?"
Yusei sighed and said, "Yeah. So Lammy, how does it feel to be with us?"
"Amazing," she said. "Now we can take down Nom Nom and his motley crew."
Then Toph whispered in Yusei's ear, "So was there a good reason for inviting her here, or did you just want to spend time with her."
At that mention, the duelist suddenly took an interest in his boots.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
"And another poor competitor down," Nom Nom said. "And Mandy, you can start plotting to eliminate the spies. Knowing you, they will be gone in no time."
Mandy showed an almost-smile. "They'll never see it coming."
And Deadpool was there this time. "Um, Nom Nom?"
"Hmm?"
The mercenary said, "Don't you think it was kind of a mean thing to make Mandy sabotage her own team like that? And serve the judges bugs?"
After a moment of silence, Nom Nom just laughed. "I think the time with Julie has made you soft," he chuckled. "In order to win, you must do whatever it takes to eliminate anyone in your way. Nobody decent ever wins this show. Remember that."
"Ok then," Deadpool said defeatedly.
Nom Nom was right, of course. A lot of villains had won the show. Heck, two of the judges today had won the whole thing before, and one of them was the Queen of Mean. However, after all that's happened, Deadpool was sure Nom Nom didn't deserve that money.
And he didn't deserve a friend like Julie was.
Deadpool knew he couldn't leave the alliance right then. Although, joining it in the first place, was it worth it? At first, he thought it was.
Now, he wasn't so sure.
0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000
I can practically smell the food that was prepared in this chapter. Though I'm not a fan of bugs myself.
Nom Nom strikes again by taking out the threat known as Shrek. Mandy has turned into a formidable second-in-command. If only she could realize she was just a second-in-command.
Owen, Heather, and Lindsay came back as guest judges. And I absolutely loved writing Lindsay's moments. Poor Yusei.
And Lammy's now with alliance against Nom Nom (we should probably call it a super alliance). She's happy, and so is Yusei *wink wink*.
Now it's time I ask another favor of you all. I need embarrassing secrets about the remaining contestants. There should be one each for the Koalas, and two each for the Ogres. Give me ideas. Be creative. Chris will bring back a challenge he never completed. And I want the dirt for it.
And next chapter is the final one before the merge. Like I said before, Chris and Chef have a bet, and whoever wins chooses a second person to be eliminated, leaving ten people to fight for the money, as well as two returnees. The first one's decided already, and the second will be decided in a poll to be posted after the next chapter.
In the meantime, read and review, fav and follow, and send in challenge ideas. And I'll see you next time.
TheMasterKat out!
