It's time for another chapter to hit the Internet.

Ten competitors left. Soon to be nine.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Chris' recap: "Last time on Total Drama Everything, our unlucky competitors found themselves in the middle of our Maze of Mazes. Everyone found challenges to keep them on their toes, but it was eventually Snake who proved the victor. Even after a victor was decided, everyone found themselves in hot water after the entire maze system started caving in. And despite Snake's victory, props go to Deadpool, who risked his hide to save Julie's own hide, turning them into best buddies again. Alas, poor Deadpool was duped soon after by his former boss Nom Nom. With the Regenerating Degenerate gone and ten more competitors left to torture, who will wind up cracking under the pressure? Find out here! On Total. Drama. Everything!"

*theme song*

Ash and Sam stood in amazement as Julie concentrated. She was currently wearing boxing gloves and repeatedly punching a tree. And she looked more determined than she ever had. Heck, everyone that day was trying to steer clear for fear that she would punch them in the face. It was certainly a sight to see.

"I've never seen Julie so determined," Ash whispered to both Sam and Pikachu, who was standing in between the two.

"What do you expect?" Sam whispered back. "I would be like her too if I were out for revenge After two days of this, you would think she would have punched a hole through that tree by now. I almost feel bad for Nom Nom now. He doesn't know what he's dealing with."

"True. I mean, he did get her best friend on the island eliminated. And I thought Nom Nom was hated before."

Sam slightly nodded and said, "Thing is, Deadpool had gained the respect and admiration of all of us, even Chef, when he let himself get crushed by a stone pillar to save Julie. Nom Nom wasn't well liked before, but he has certainly made everyone enemies of himself."

In fact, in the two days since Deadpool's elimination, Nom Nom had been repeatedly pranked in more ways than one. When Nom Nom had gone to take a shower the morning after the bonfire ceremony, someone (Toph) had rigged the plumbing in just Nom Nom's stall so he got freezing cold water. Only a few hours after that, Julie and Bubblegum had thrown itching powder on him when his back was turned. Even Mandy joined in, dumping a jar of ants all over Nom Nom's dinner. And late into the night, Snake's entire crew had carried his mattress, with Nom Nom sleeping on it, all the way to the top of the cliff. The poor koala's screams the next morning were heard from a mile away.

"It was actually Yusei's idea," Sam told Ash. "He has a serious bone to pick with Nom Nom. Snake and I still feel it was a little cruel, but to tell you the truth, we also feel Nom Nom deserved it."

"Pika Pika!"

"You have an idea?" Ash responded to Pikachu. "It would be pretty cool to give the guy a Thunderbolt to the face. We'll keep that in mind, Pikachu." Then he said back to Sam, "Speaking of Yusei, does he still feel guilty about what happened. We all know it wasn't his fault."

"Actually," Sam added, laughing a little, "there's something else he's worrying about right now."

"Oh?"

(Meanwhile….)

Sam was right. Yusei was focusing on something else at the moment. And it involved a little talk with Snake on how to handle it.

"You've faced cards in that game you play that were fifty stories tall, been arrested for trespassing, survived massive beatings from other duelists, and saved the world numerous times," Snake mused, "and you are scared to talk to a girl you like. Why does all of this sound so wrong?"

"Hard to believe, I know," Yusei replied. "And yet it's the truth. Deadpool gave me some advice, but I also need help from someone who is in a relationship right now. How exactly did you and Sam fall for each other?"

Snake just raised his eyebrows. "You and I know very well that I'm not the most qualified person to give relationship advice," he said. "I've hardly been in any kind of relationship coming here, and Sam and I got to know each other quickly. I mean, we're secret agents. It wasn't that hard."

"I guess you're right."

"You're not still thinking about what happened with Deadpool, are you? You know it was not your fault. It was Nom Nom's fault."

"I know."

At that moment, Lammy walked in "Hi Snake," she said. "Hi Yusei."

"Hey Lammy," Yusei responded, slightly stammering.

Snake just rolled his eyes. "Well this is certainly going well," he thought.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"At least he's already friends with her," said Snake. "That should give him a shot."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Yusei is one of the most amazing guys I have ever met," Lammy sighed. "I really like him, but I don't know if I should admit it. Boys are complicated."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

At the dock, Nom Nom was scratching his back with a backscratcher (he was still suffering the effects of the itching powder) while Mandy watched in severe annoyance.

"It is so much better now without that mercenary flapping his lips every moment of every day," Nom Nom said. "Losing him was a blow, no doubt. Soon, however, we will prove that we never needed him."

Mandy simply rolled her eyes. She was really starting to get sick of this guy.

"So what do we do now, Master?" Mandy asked, slightly mocking.

"Easy," Nom Nom stated, ignoring Mandy's tone. "I have made the perfect plan to eliminate Yusei. And that plan involves separating him from his lamb 'girlfriend'. We'll make it so they lose their feelings for each other, and that will make Yusei a sitting duck."

"Why not just eliminate Lammy? It would be practically foolproof."

"Have you not listened? I intend to break the duelist, not bend him. And breaking him is what I will do. Here's the plan-"

He was interrupted by the loudspeaker. "Attention competitors," Chris called out, "it's time to test your knowledge of previous events. Meet me at the amphitheatre in ten minutes for your next challenge."

"I'll explain on the way," Nom Nom finished.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I expect everyone to be confused as to why I haven't quit the alliance yet like Deadpool," Mandy explained. "Thing is, years of putting up with my idiot of a friend Billy have taught me to be quite patient and resilient. And truth is, while Nom Nom thinks he's using me, I'm really using him to get further in this game. I made him promise that after he takes out Yusei, I can go after the spies, because even I might not be able to eliminate them without Nom Nom

"Still, he becoming more unbearable than Billy ever was. Believe me, that is saying a lot."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Everyone arrived at the stage to find several rows of seats on top of the stage, with each seat having a desk of sorts. "Don't tell me he's doing that Spin the Bottle meets Truth or Dare thing on us again," said Bubblegum as everyone sat down on random seats.

Once everyone was seated, the seats started to wiggle a little. Suddenly, straps started to pop up out from the back of the seats and surround the competitors, leaving everyone stuck to their seats and only leaving their arms and heads free to move.

"I guess not," Bubblegum breathed out in shock. "This is a new one."

Everyone turned to see Chris and Chef coming in from backstage. "Welcome, final ten competitors," he announced. "You have all done well to make it this far in the game. But don't celebrate just yet. There are still plenty of tortures to endure before you make it to the end. Take this challenge for example."

"This can't be good," Ash said.

Chris continued with, "Welcome to the Total Drama Quiz Show! All you need to do here is know things about the show. I'm going to ask you all a total of fifty questions regarding this season as well as past seasons. So I hope you all have been paying attention and watching the show, or you may just suffer for it."

Just like that, several red buttons popped up if front of the competitors, making a few flinch.

"The rules are simple," Chris continued. "When I ask a question, all you have to do is press the button before anyone else does, and then answer the question correctly. Some have you saying multiple names. Others have you say only one thing. Either way, each question is worth one point. If you get it wrong, we will give everyone EXCEPT the person who got it wrong a chance to press their buttons again and answer the question. Oh, and here's a little surprise for those of you who get the questions wrong. Chef? If you please." Chef grinned and pressed a blinking button on a remote control he was holding.

ZAAAAPPP!

It was starting to sound like the host like it when people got hit with electricity, because everyone got hit with a low-voltage blast, not unlike the electricity from the secrets challenge.

"Why does this always happen to me?" Yusei asked himself while trying to straighten out his hair, which now looked wilder than ever thanks to the shock.

"Once all fifty questions have been answered, we will tally up the points. Whoever gets the most points wins invincibility for the next challenge. Whoever is in last place will be AUTOMATICALLY ELIMINATED."

The whole group gasped.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Another automatic elimination challenge?!" Snake asked in shock and disbelief.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"This is just perfect," Lammy said sarcastically.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Chris really loves messing with us," said Ash.

"Pika!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I'm toast," Toph sighed. "I actually have a secret to disclose. I've never really watched the previous seasons before."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Now that the explanation is over with," Chris finished, "is everyone ready?"

Crickets. Then Julie raised her hand.

"I would like to use my challenge freebie to avoid this challenge."

"Good call," Chris pointed out. "Normally, that thing isn't supposed to keep you safe from elimination. But since this is an automatic elimination challenge, you've guaranteed your safety. Nice move, Julie."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I don't want to take Nom Nom down in a simple quiz challenge," stated Julie. "I want to get him eliminated in a different way."

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Okay then. Let's get to it then. First question: Who was the first person kicked off Total Drama Island?"

Mandy buzzed in with her answer. "Ezekiel. Duh."

"Correct! One point for Mandy!"

Everyone groaned. "I was really hoping she would get it wrong," said Sam.

"Next question: Who was it that won the talent competition, also on Island? You must also state what talent that person did to win to get the point."

Toph, hoping she would be lucky, pressed her button. "Uh…...Heather?"

ZAAAAPPP!

"Sorry," Chris told the earthbender as she recovered from the shock. "If you really thought the winner that day was the one who used her talent to humiliate a teammate in front of the whole world, you're nuts. Anyone else?"

Ash buzzed in on that one. "It was Harold, who did his killer beatboxing."

"And one point goes to Ash."

Ash and Pikachu high fived at that.

"This next question is a little similar. Who won the talent competition THIS season, and with what talent?"

Yusei smiled and buzzed in. "Dante and I pulled off a wonderful bike show with my runner and his motorcycle."

"Correct! Point for Yusei!"

Nom Nom stared and seethed, banging his fist on his seat. "Of course the duelist remembers that," he muttered. "Why I oughtta!"

"Question four: What was Noah from the original cast's worst fear?"

This time, Nom Nom was ready and buzzed in. "It's a trick question. Noah was eliminated before the fear challenge that season. Thus, no one knows his worst fear."

"Not bad. You figured it out. Point for Nom Nom."

Everyone groaned once again. Now Nom Nom had less of a chance of being eliminated.

"Are you all jealous?" Nom Nom innocently asked everyone. "Or are you all as dumb as I believe? I got a trick question right, and I'm not stopping there. In fact, I predict that one of Snake's 'friends' is going to be the one eliminated today."

"Can we continue?" Chris asked the group. "Ok, next question. Who was it on Total Drama Action that lost much of her fanbase when she dumped her boyfriend and told his team to vote him off?"

Next to press their button and buzz in was Bubblegum. "Gwen."

"Ding ding ding! One point goes to Princess Bubblegum! Question six: Who won the singing challenge this season?"

Lammy buzzed in. "Yours truly."

"A point goes to Lammy. Next up. Who quit in Revenge of the Island after mistakenly believing a large fake diamond was real?

Snake buzzed in but was a little confused. "Was it….Dakota?"

ZAAAAAP!

"It was not," Chris told him. "Anyone else?"

Sam buzzed in with her answer. "Anna Maria."

"Absolutely. Point for Sam! Next question: Who on this season was afraid of being completely alone?"

Mandy buzzed in again. "Deadpool."

Chris nodded. "That makes two points for Mandy."

That made everyone except Nom Nom huff in annoyance. "This is going to be a long day," said Toph.

"Question nine: What was it that Alejandro hated being called?"

Mandy once again had the answer. "He hated to be called Al."

"Mandy now has three points. She is on fire!"

"Great," muttered Snake. "Yay for her."

"Can we continue?" Chris asked. "Good. Question number ten: Who was it that went crazy last season after finding out that his love interest already had a boyfriend?"

Nom Nom buzzed in. "Uh….wait, I know this…...Dave?"

"Good job. Guessing does pay. Nom Nom now has two points. You haven't beaten Mandy yet though. We are now a fifth of the way to the end. And here's the next question. During the bank heist challenge from Action, who were the two competitors that their teams had to rescue from the vaults?"

Yusei quickly pressed his button. "Owen and Leshawna."

"Nice one. Yusei now has two points. Moving on. During the Ridonculous Race, four former Total Drama contestants competed in it. List them all."

Toph tried again. "Uh….Owen,...Scott?"

ZAAAAAAAAP!

"Too bad," said Chris. "The earthbender isn't doing well, it seems. Does anyone else have the answer?"

Ash buzzed in. "Owen, Leonard, Noah, and Geoff."

"And another point for Ash. We're now onto number thirteen: What were the names used for the two teams on Island?"

Nom Nom stuck his tongue out at Yusei before pressing his button. "The Screaming Gophers and the Killer Bass!"

"Not bad. You are now tied with Mandy. Number fourteen: What were the names of the teams on Action?"

Snake buzzed in and said, "The Screaming Gaffers and the Killer Grips. You really need some name originality."

"Alright," Chris said with slight annoyance. "You get the point. Snake is finally on the board with one point. Another question about team names: tell me the names of the three teams from World Tour. And which one was the most ironic?"

Sam smiled, buzzed in, and stated, "Team Victory, Team Amazon, and Team Chris is Really Really Really Really Hot. And Team Victory was the most ironic, as they were picked off one by one, although Team CiRRRRH is a little ironic. Sorry, but you're not that hot."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Darn right he's not," said Snake.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Shocked by this open show of rebellion, Chris huffed and continued. "Alright, you get the point. And if I ever catch anyone saying I'm not super hot, I will personally make them wish they were eliminated. Got that?

"Now let's move on to question sixteen: Team names from Revenge of the Island. List them." He was still clearly annoyed.

Bubblegum looked a little nervous about Chris' attitude, but buzzed in anyway. "The Toxic Rats and the Mutant Maggots."

"Good. Point for Bubblegum. Next question: I need the team names from All-Stars."

Mandy was just too quick for the rest. "The Heroic Hamsters and the Villainous Vultures."

"Mandy now has four points. And that's it for team name questions since I can't really spell the names from Pahkitew. Let's just get to question eighteen: How many contestants were there Island?"

Mandy once again had the answer. "Twenty-two."

"That makes five points. Mandy, you may be looking at invincibility next time if this keeps going. Question nineteen: Who was mauled by a bear during the Paintball Deer Hunt during Island?"

Nom Nom hammered multiple times on his button. "Cody! It was Cody!"

"Ok then," Chris mused. "Someone seems enthusiastic. Nom Nom has another point. Question twenty: Who was the first one out during the paintball challenge this season?"

"Can't believe I'm answering this," Yusei muttered as he buzzed in. "I'm only answering because I need the point. I was the first one out of the challenge. Blame Nom Nom forcing Rarity to sabotage my weapon."

Chris was now laughing. "I remember that! You wound up with a massive paint job because of it! That was hilarious! And didn't you have to take five showers afterwards to get it all off?"

"Shut. Up. Ok?"

"I'll be cool about it," Chris reassured the duelist. "You get the point. Next question: What's seven times three?"

Mandy buzzed in again, this time a little confused. "Twenty one, but that's not even related to the show. Why ask us such a mundane question?"

"Because that was the twenty-first question, and seven times three is twenty one. Duh!"

Mandy just gave him a death stare for a long time.

"Well Mandy now has six points," Chris announced, a little afraid. "We're moving on to the next question: What was the reason for Harold's elimination after the Extreme Sports Challenge in Island?"

Lammy giggled as she buzzed in her button. "During the waterskiing challenge, he caught sight of Heather with her shirt ripped off, and poor Harold wiped out."

"That was an awesome moment, I agree. That gives Lammy her second point. Next up: What prize did Lindsay receive from the Pirate Key Hunt?"

Sam knew the answer instantly. "An accordion."

"Exactly right. Sam has received her third point. Question twenty four: What was Coco's talent during the talent show?"

Toph gave it another go. "Uh….."

"Time's up!"

ZAAAAAAAP!

"Anyone else?" Chris asked the group.

Bubblegum pressed her button. "Laying eggs filled with various prizes."

"And Bubblegum has three points now. Question twenty five: Who was eliminated during World Tour for blowing up my plane?"

"Sierra!" Ash yelled, pressing his button.

"Good," said Chris. "Ash has his third point. We are now at the halfway point. We'll let you all take an hour long break before we continue. And in case you lost track of the current points, here's a refresher: Mandy is in the lead with six points; Nom Nom has four; Sam, Ash, and Bubblegum, and Yusei each have three points. Snake and Lammy both have two; and Toph has zero. In other words, Mandy is well on her way to first place, and Toph may start to get a little scared right now."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Got that right," said Toph.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Billy would drag me to the TV whenever a new episode aired," Mandy explained. "As much as I hated that, it has proven quite useful now. These people don't stand a chance."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Nom Nom was grinning that familiar grin. "It is time to break up the dynamic duo of Yusei and Lammy," he said.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

As everyone waited, a few were passing the time. Bubblegum and Sam were reading some books, Yusei and Lammy were having a card duel, Ash was relaxing with Pikachu, and Nom Nom and Mandy were talking.

"You know what to do," Nom Nom whispered. Mandy nodded as she walked over to where Yusei and Lammy were sitting.

She arrived just as Yusei played a trap card, robbing Lammy of one of her monsters. "Dang it," Lammy said in frustration, then she saw Mandy standing in front of them.

"I would like a word with Yusei," Mandy told the duo. "A private word, if you please."

Though hesitant and wary, Yusei obliged and got up out of his seat. "What is this about?"

"Nothing," she said. "I just wanted to have a little talk."

"Ok."

As they walked backstage, where no one could hear them, Nom Nom saw the signal and made his way towards Lammy. He sat down right next to her.

(Author's Note: This is one of those situations you see on TV where two groups, though unaware, are almost having the same conversation at the same time, with both groups finishing each other's sentences. I hope this isn't too confusing.)

"You and Yusei seem to be really good friends," the koala told the lamb. "Better friends than even I have ever seen."

Lammy slowly nodded. "You are right," she said, a little shyly. "After all, Yusei is….."

"...one of the most amazing girls I have ever met," Yusei told Mandy. "She's smart, she's funny, I can duel against her now, and I think I have…."

"...fallen in love with him," Lammy continued.

Nom Nom nodded somewhat. "I see," he said. "Then won't Yusei be scared?"

"What do you mean by that?" Yusei asked Mandy.

"I mean that Lammy won't like the idea of you guys as a couple," Mandy stated. "After all, she's one of those girls that doesn't want to be a….."

"...burden on him," Nom Nom said. "He joined the competition this season to win, and not to fall in love. You could be a burden on him in the long run if you continue down this path, and he wants you and him to focus on the game."

Yusei was shaking his head in disbelief. "Lammy would never think she was a burden on me," he stated. "We've been friends for most of the season. If she was really scared, she would have said something to me."

"Think about Lammy's personality," Mandy explained. "She's incredibly shy, especially around you. Why would she say anything about her issues? She'd too scared to do so. And you know it."

"Besides," Nom Nom added, "he has devoted much of his time here to getting you on the right track instead of thinking up ways to win the money. He cares about you, sure, but if you continue to stay glued to his heels, you're just hurting Yusei. Heck, you're just hurting yourself. I hope you'll think about that."

Mandy stepped back from Yusei, who was stunned. "Lammy doesn't want to cause you any more pain," she said. "If you ask me, you should let her."

Both Nom Nom and Mandy left their stunned targets sitting there in disbelief.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I don't know why," Lammy sighed, "but I think Nom Nom's right."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Mandy may truly be telling the truth," Yusei said. "Lammy, a burden?"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I hope you all enjoyed our little period of relaxation," Chris told the group, now once again strapped to their seats. "We still have several questions to ask, so let's get to it with question twenty six: True or false, Justin competed in Action."

Bubblegum buzzed in. "True."

"That was a good answer. Bubblegum now has four points. Twenty seven: out of everyone that competed this season, how many came from animes, and who were they?"

Ash was excited about this one, as he buzzed in before Chris was even done asking the question. "Three," Ash said. "Myself, Yusei, and Goku."

"You got them all spot on!" Chris exclaimed. "Ash also has four points now. Twenty eight: At one point during Island, Beth took something from Boney Island that cursed her team for the next couple of episodes. What was that item?"

Mandy kept on dominating the competition. "This creepy tiki doll."

"Correct! Mandy is still in the lead with seven! Question twenty nine: what was the finale challenge from Island?"

Starting to panic, Toph pressed her button before she even knew it. "Uh…"

"You didn't watch the show, did you?" Nom Nom asked, laughing.

ZAAAAAAP!

Toph shook her head as she tried to get the static out of her hair. "No I didn't," she sighed. "For starters, I can't exactly 'watch' TV, since I can't see. Second, I never really liked this show to begin with. Happy?"

"Doesn't matter," said Chris. "You still got it wrong. Can someone else answer it?"

Nom Nom buzzed in. "The Rejected Olympics. It's nice to know this question was answered by someone who actually has a brain."

That got a huge rock launched at his head. "OW!"

"Well, Nom Nom now has five points. And maybe a concussion. Let's move on. Who had the bottle of ketchup from the paintball challenge?"

Snake pressed his button. "Dante!"

"Good one, secret agent. You now have three points. Question thirty one: Who was disqualified from the Awakeathon this season after we decided he was too hard to beat during the challenge AND couldn't be easily knocked out?"

Yusei was next to give out an answer. "Mega Man."

That's when Snake noticed something. Whenever Yusei had gotten one right before, Lammy would cheer with glee. Now, there was silence coming from the lamb.

"Good job. Yusei now has four
points. Question thirty two: who was disqualified from the Awakeathon during Island for cheating?"

Sam smiled as she buzzed in. "Justin. He painted his eyelids to make him look like he was awake."

"Very nice. Sam also has four points now. Thirty three: Double D and Rarity shared a fear. What was it?"

Mandy, looking bored, pressed her button casually. "Getting dirty. Total neat freaks."

"With eight points, Mandy continues to dominate. But we still have plenty of questions to ask. Question thirty four: Fang the shark got his butt kicked twice during the riddle race. Describe both instances."

Despite not being there when they happened, Bubblegum pressed her button and had the answer. "Julie stabbed Fang with Snake's knife and electrocuted him in order to rescue Deadpool. Then Fang tried to attack Mandy, but got scared and ran off, sobbing. I wasn't there to see it that day, but I have caught up since my elimination."

"And so you have. Bubblegum now has five points. Question thirty five: Who was kicked off after the mine challenge from this season after scorching a teammate to a crisp and sending his team flying off the minecart track?"

Mandy looked straight at Ash and buzzed in. "That's easy. Ash was the one."

"Pikachu and I were only trying to help," Ash pointed out. "You don't have to be so negative."

"Pika Pika!"

"Whatever," Chris stated. "Mandy now has nine points. Let's get to question thirty six: Who had the multiple-personality disorder?"

Toph wouldn't give up. "Was it…..Scott?"

ZAAAAAAP!

"This is just sad," Chris said in disappointment. "Anyone who actually knows these?"

Ash did. "Mike."

"And Ash has raised his score to five! Fourteen questions left. And here's the next one: True of false, Harold switched the votes during Island to get Duncan kicked off."

Next to get it right was Lammy. "False, he switched the votes to eliminate Courtney."

Snake noticed another strange occurrence. Yusei wasn't cheering Lammy on either. What was going on with those two? Did something happen?

"Lammy adds a third point to her score, and we move to question thirty eight: Who was granted invincibility from the riddle race since there was an odd number?"

Sam remembered that as clear as day. "Superman."

"Good one. Sam has received her fifth point."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Looks like Nom Nom's prediction may actually come to pass," said Sam. "By the looks of it, Toph's in trouble."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"Question thirty nine: Who was the first person kicked off this season?"

Of course Ash knew that. After all, he was on the bottom two that day. "Fred."

"The Pokemon trainer now has five points," Chris announced. "Question forty: During the first challenge in Egypt during World tour, what was it that DJ accidentally destroyed that cursed him to harm innocent animals?"

Mandy was on fire at this point. "A mummified dog."

"Ten points. This challenge is pretty much Mandy's to win. Question forty one: Who was stuck in quicksand during the Boney Island challenge in the first season?"

Nom Nom buzzed in. "Trent and Lindsay."

"Six points Nom Nom! Question forty two: what's seven times six?"

"Really?" Sam asked, pressing her button. "You really need better questions. And it's forty two, just like this was question forty two."

Chris just rolled his eyes. "Give me a break," he said. "I'm running out of ideas. Fine, you get the point. You have six now. Next question: Who was eliminated by bad luck when everyone at Playa de Losers during Island just couldn't keep their mouths shut?"

Bubblegum knew this one exactly, smirking as she buzzed in. "Leshawna."

"Correct! Bubblegum has six points now. On to the next question: out of everyone who has been on the bottom two at bonfire ceremonies so far this season, who has been up there the most, and how many times?"

This was a question Yusei relished. "Easy," he answered. "Nom Nom has been in the bottom exactly five times."

"And Yusei has five points now!"

Once again, Lammy kept quiet. Snake couldn't believe it. Something was clearly wrong.

"Question forty five: List the order in which each team placed during the riddle race."

Snake was the next to answer. "First place was myself and Sam, second place was Deadpool and Julie, third place was Double D and Goku, fourth place was Dante and Lammy, fifth place was Rarity and Shrek, sixth place was Yusei and Toph, seventh place was Mandy and Coco, and Nom Nom and Zelda didn't even finish."

"All of that was right off the bat. Snake has four points now. Question forty six: what happened to Alejandro at the end of World Tour?"

Toph buzzed in. "Uh…"

ZAAAAAAAP!

"Looks like Toph shouldn't have even been on this show!" Nom Nom cackled, buzzing in. "I have the answer. He was burnt up in lava and put inside a robot suit."

"Nom Nom has his seventh point now!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"I have already accepted defeat," Toph sighed.

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"That was a little mean," Snake told Nom Nom.

"Who cares? If she didn't watch the show, why is she even on this show to begin with?"

"We still have four questions left, so let's get to them," said Chris. "Who was it that had an obsession over Cody?"

Mandy buzzed in once again. "Sierra."

"And Mandy scores her eleventh point and secures her spot as the winner of the challenge. Question forty eight: Who was kicked off after this season's talent contest?"

Ash hit his button as fast as he could. "Maya!"

"Good one! Ash has his sixth point. Question forty nine: Who sang 'Another One Bites the Dust' by Queen during the singing challenge?"

Bubblegum casually hit her button. "Snake."

"And a seventh point goes to Bubblegum. We are finally at the fiftieth and last question. Mandy is definitely winning invincibility for the next challenge, but now we have to get to the final question."

Everyone sat back, slightly anxious.

"Who is getting kicked off tonight?"

And that made Toph angry, embarrassed, and everything in between. With a sigh of defeat, she buzzed in.

"Me."

"Correct! And Toph finally has a point, but it is too little, too late. We have finally reached the end. And here's a nice little point refresher."

Mandy: 11

Nom Nom: 7

Bubblegum: 7

Sam: 6

Ash: 6

Yusei: 5

Snake: 4

Lammy: 3

Toph: 1

"It has been fun," Chris told Toph, "but maybe you should catch up on the rest of the show."

Nom Nom was cackling again. "Finally," he said, "one of Snake's seemingly unbeatable crew goes down! This is rich!"

And that got another huge rock thrown at him. Toph was grinning. "At least I won't have to deal with you anymore," she said. "And I'm glad to have lost this way instead of by your evil hands. Ha!"

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

"One down, four to go," Nom Nom sneered. "This is fun."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

With a final wave to everyone, Toph was blasted out of the cannon and out of sight.

Later that night, Nom Nom silently followed Yusei, who was hoping to talk to Lammy about what had happened earlier that afternoon. He knew he needed to talk to her or this would never make any sense. He had already decided that whatever Mandy had said had to be a total lie.

Finally, he saw Lammy standing on the porch outside the girls' cabin.

"Lammy," he said. "We need to talk."

Lammy simply raised an eyebrow. "What is it?"

"It has to do with us. I-"

He was interrupted by Lammy exclaiming, "Don't worry about it."

"Don't worry about what?"

"I mean that I completely understand," Lammy whispered, with a smile on her face. However, that smile looked almost laced with pain.

"Wait, you do?"

"Absolutely. You don't want either of us to be burdens on each other. You just want us to focus on the game, and not on each other. Why didn't you say so before? I could have spared us both a lot of embarrassment."

Yusei shook his head. "That wasn't what I was-"

"Save it," Lammy said, a slight sadness in her voice. "You don't need to say anything I don't already know about. I'll get over it eventually."

"But Lam-"

"Just stop, ok?" Lammy asked. Then she started to walk back inside the cabin. "I'm sorry I caused so much trouble to you throughout the game," she said, barely more than a whisper. "I'll stay out of your way from now on."

As she walked inside, a single tear ran down her cheek. She left Yusei standing there, stunned and amazed at what had just happened.

"Mandy was right," he whispered. And he walked away from the cabin.

Nom Nom watched Yusei walk back to the boys' cabin, looking absolutely destroyed. Nom Nom couldn't help but feel elated. He had actually done it. He had broken up Yusei and Lammy. And with that obstacle out of the way, Yusei was as good as gone.

"I always win, Yusei," Nom Nom whispered with wickedness and joy as he watched the duelist continue walking.

"Always."

0000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

And my most requested challenge idea is finally behind us.

Snake's alliance suffers its first casualty, and it was sadly Toph. Hey, she became the second person to burn Nom Nom, so that was good.

Speaking of Nom Nom, oh he's done it now. He has taken Yusei and Lammy's budding relationship and plucked it from its roots. Let me point out that Yusei and Lammy are now complete idiots, and Nom Nom is a complete scumbag.

And let me also point out that quiz challenges are tricky to pull off.

To tell you the truth, I'm excited about the next challenge. I've had the idea in my head for weeks. The only bad thing about it is that I already know who's going home.

Until then, make sure to read and review, fav and follow, send in challenge ideas, and I'm still open on good-luck messages.

See you next time! TheMasterKat out!
