Episode 10: The "Real" in Reality Shows

(Coyler's Note: Man this episode was really a struggle,it definitely isn't my greatest work,but sometimes you gotta have a few stinkers to allow the good episodes to be written,heh heh. But anyway,iiiiiiiit's that time again! Let's take a look at the elimination table;

Eliminated:

14th: Justin - Directing Dictators

13th: Dakota - Captivating CameraCrew

12th: Ezekiel - Directing Dictators

11th: Tyler - Directing Dictators

10th: Rodney - Captivating CameraCrew

9th: Trent - Captivating CameraCrew

8th: Bridgette - Directing Dictators

Still in the Running:

Brick - Merge (Formerly on Captivating CameraCrew)

Dawn - Merge (Formerly on Directing Dictators)

Eva - Merge (Formerly on Captivating CameraCrew)

Ella - Merge (Formerly on Captivating CameraCrew)

That's it for the current elimination table,crazy to think I'm only halfway done. Coyler,out!)

Chris sat in his trailer with his face in a moisture mask and hair being perfectly sculpted,waving at the camera crew, "Ah,you guys again...great. Least this time you jackasses didn't bust into my house for an episode recap" he sighed before smiling to get into presenter mode, "Anyway,let's take a quick look at the last episode on Total Drama;

Our two teams packed up their nightwear and headed out for a security job as apart of their next challenge inside a spooky nightclub and pizza shop. With creepy remote control animatronics on the run it was certainly a night of scares for all. Max's mind came in handy when he and Dawn went on an animatronic massacre spree by doing some serious collateral damage to the robotic property that wasn't insured. Lucky for Mr Coyle's wallet,Harold didn't do that much besides run for his life through the air vents the entire night like a sussy impostor. Sounds like fun to me. Eventually at the end of the night we ran into a little snafoo when things ended in a tie as both Dawn and Harold were the only ones left standing on their respective teams by the end of the night,so of course I just called it that they'd both get immunity while everyone else was sent to elimination. During the Gilded Chris Ceremony it came down to Noah and Bridgette,though thanks to his new 'Guys Alliance' it was Noah who received the final Gilded Chris leaving Bridgette to walk down the Carpet of Shame and leave the game for good,let's hope Zeke has been keeping track of things back home,heh heh. What will the next set of challenges hold? How will things go with the teams being no more? And who could possibly be eliminated next? Find out today on another gripping episode of Total! Drama! Take 2" Chris exclaimed,raising his arms, "Alrighty,we done here? Great! Grand! Wonderful! Get lost dudes,a man needs his beauty time y'know?".

CONFESSIONAL START

Brick: Y'know I feel like I've been fading into the background for the most part of this season. But now that the teams are gone that's about to change! I went home the day the teams merged last time,but there's no way I'll be going home today! Hooah!

Dawn: It was sad to see Bridgette go after all we've been through this season in dealing with Noah,but I suppose there's nothing really that can be done now. Oh well,at least the other contestant's auras have nice and cheery colours that signify potential friendship...well,except for Eva. She kind of scares me to an extent.

CONFESSIONAL END

The seven remaining contestants were eating their breakfast in the services tent when Chris sauntered in holding a small plastic box. "Morning campers,hope you all slept good last night,cuz today marks you're first day of solo merge challenges!" he grinned before turning to the camera, "For those who still aren't caught up,there's officially no more Team Directing Dictator or Team Captivating CameraCrew,meaning it's every cast member for themselves to win individual immunity during each day of competing!". Eva rolled her eyes, "This show has had multiple seasons over the last few years,we get it already". "Yeah,cool,didn't ask" Chris muttered, "ANYWAY! Who's ready for a day of challenges dudes?" he exclaimed. Brick hit his chest, "You can bet your rear end I'm ready for action!". "I too am prepared for whatever we might be facing today" added Dawn. "I'm totally ready to unleash my mad skills" smirked Harold,as he swung his num-yo around and hit himself in the stomach. Chris smiled, "Excellent to hear! Before we get the ball rolling,you're all gonna take turns reaching into this box". Noah raised an eyebrow, "There isn't something dangerous in there,right?". Chris shook his head, "Course not Noah buddy. Trust me,it's all vital to your challenges for today" he chuckled.

CONFESSIONAL START

Noah: C'mon,this is Chris we're talking about. Knowing him there could've easily been something like a mousetrap or scorpion or rusty heroin needle in there just waiting to strike.

CONFESSIONAL END

Chris shook the box, "So...who's first?". Brick stood up from his chair and saluted, "I volunteer as tribute sir!". "Thank you Brick,much appreciated" Chris smiled as Brick marched to the front of the room. He stuck his hand inside the box and pulled out a piece of paper. Unfolding it,he titled his unibrow. "Hmm, 'Pimp my Ride'?" he said aloud. "ooh,great choice!" said Chris, "You'll definitely have fun with that one!" he added, "Who's next?". Eva was next to take a paper from the box. "What the hell does 'South Canadian Tow' mean?" she grunted. "Not a clue" replied Harold as he drew the next paper, "But I'm pretty sure it's got nothing to do with 'Best I can is $3' " he rasped. "Huh, 'Hardcore Parkour',weird" Noah muttered as he looked at his paper and scratched his head. Max grumbled reading his, "Ugh! 'Supernanny'? Disgraceful!" he spat. Ella clapped her hands as she looked at hers, "Oh yay! Mine says 'Animal Tamer'!" she exclaimed happily. Chris laughed to himself hearing Ella's excitement but then turned to Dawn, "Looks like you're the last one up Dawn,seems as if the final paper has been left specifically for you by fate,heh heh". Dawn nodded and retireved her paper from the box, " 'The Office',I'm pretty sure that's a TV show,right?" she asked. Chris nodded, "Indeed it is! Now that you've all claimed your papers I can now explain all!" he grinned, "Today's challenges will be based on Reality Shows! By choosing from a random selection inside this box you've each been assigned a reality show to work on for your challenges today to win immunity. Of course you'll all have completely different challenges,but only have two to complete. The first one to successfully complete their challenges and get back here with a stamp of approval from your employer wins immunity!" he explained while everyone scratched their heads in confusion. "Question" asked Harold raising a hand, "How do we know what show is which?". "Fear not!" said Chris raising his pointer finger, "You'll all be given the necessary information to get to where you've gotta be. Once set up it'll be up to your employers to handle barking out your orders for the day". Brick folded his arms, "Sounds like an interesting concept for a day of challenges,anything else we should know?". Chris nodded, "You'll also spend the day being followed by camera crews so that you can put in a good performance,Mr Coyle apparently needed a way to get back some cash after he blew his savings on robot insurance last night and figured helping out other shows he works on would be a good way to kill multiple birds with a single stone" he explained. He pulled out small cards and handed them out to the contestants,which informed them what show they'd be working for and where they needed to go. "Good luck dudes,you're gonna need it" Chris chuckled.

CONFESSIONAL START

Eva: Damn that Coyle guy,he's a total cheapskate! Y'know he'd probably even sell all our organs on the black market just to make a quick buck!

Harold: Something tells me the producers have seriously been running out of ideas as of late. I mean c'mon,how many challenges this season have been based on working for other places and disguising them as apart of the show.

Chris McLean: Hey! I was the one who came up with most of the challenges this season! Really hurts to hear people dunk on them,even if Mr Coyle took most of the credit.

Max: I must admit,these reality shows we're being sent to work on seem absolutely ridiculous! According to that buffoon Chris,Harold is going to work in a pawnshop,Noah is filming with parkour stunt performers and Brick gets to tinker with upgrading cars! Meanwhile what am I stuck with? Looking after and discplining wretched children all day!

CONFESSIONAL END

('The Office')

Dawn was slightly annoyed as she walked across the street to the large office block,handing her note of explanation for her business to the receptionist and being sent upstairs. "Please don't be who I think it is PLEASE DON'T BE WHO I THINK" she sighed as she climbed to the top of the stairs and was directed to walk into an office that was oddly...weeb-ish. A large leather chair was facing towards the window as she sat down in a small chair in front of the wooden desk. "Hello there,I'm here for some challenges for Total Drama" she explained,putting her fingers together. "Indeed! I was wondering who'd show up" said a voice in the giant leather chair as it dramatically spun around to reveal the occupant. "DUN DUN DUN! IT'S ME! MR COYLE-EEEEE!" Mr Coyle dramatically exclaimed. Dawn face palmed.

INTERVIEW START

Dawn: Why oh why do I keep having to put up with this imbecile. Sometimes I wonder how exactly he even managed to land the job he has.

INTERVIEW END

"Dawn Dwire! We meet again as I crash the party of my own show once more!" Mr Coyle announced as he leaned back in his chair. Dawn sighed in annoyance, "What do you want this time?". Mr Coyle put his hands up, "I'm sensing a little tension here? Don't worry about it,all you gotta do is get a few jobs done for me and The Bois and I'll give you the stuff to clock out and get back to Chris" he said. Dawn folded her arms, "What kind of jobs?". Mr Coyle reached into his desk and pulled out a piece of paper,handing it to Dawn. At the very top of the page it read "To-Do List". "Hmm" she murmured as she scanned the page, "Pick up Alex's dry cleaning,give Logan a massage,buy supplies for Elias' house party,take Coyle to the anime convention down the street". "I'd wanna do that last one first if I were you" Mr Coyle whispered,now standing next to Dawn and looking over her shoulder which caused her to jump. She rolled her eyes, "Is this really necessary at all? How exactly is doing chores for you guys a 'Reality Show' parody?". Mr Coyle shrugged, "It's kinda like mockumentary,a bit like the US version of 'The Office',just as an example" he explained, "Between you and me,I was sorta scraping the barrel for challenge ideas today. Got an important meeting about tomorrow's challenge but had nothing for today so I left it up to Chris and The Bois to sort things out". Dawn scratched the back of her head and nodded, "I see,I see...so,you wanted to go to a convention?". A smile came onto Mr Coyle's face as he nodded excitedly, "Yeah yeah yeah! It's gonna be deadly,I've had tickets for weeks! Patrick Seitz is even gonna be there!" he said in amazement,his usual business persona seemingly vanishing for that brief moment. Dawn checked her watch,it would probably be better to just get the largest job over and done with rather than put it off for last, "You promise you'll give me a pass for the day if I get all the work on this list done?". Mr Coyle saluted, "You have my word as a man Ma'am". The two began walking out of the office,putting on their jackets as Mr Coyle grabbed literally ALL of his JoJo merch for Patrick Seitz to sign. "Oh by the way did I mention we have to take the train because it's routine and I think buses are for poor people" he asked as they walked to the convention center.

INTERVIEW START

Dawn: It seems I have been assigned the role as a caretaker for the day *sigh* Oh well,I guess it isn't the worst in the world,at least Mr Coyle is somewhat sane even if he can be a tad much sometimes. It's not as if I'm looking after children,now THAT is a task that would geniunely make me lose my cool.

INTERVIEW END

(Meanwhile in a Suburban neighbourhood)

"GET THE FUCK DOWN FROM THERE!" Max yelled as he pointed a rage filled finger at the young child who was climbing on the fridge. The kid laughed and stuck his tongue out at Max,which only infuriated him more. "I'm terribly sorry for this Mr Von-Doom,he isn't normally like this" said Mr Dynamo,the father of the child. "Tch,are we really going to ignore such a blatant lie?" Mrs Dynamo scoffed as she turned to the camera, "Last week,you wanna know what Tommy did? Last week I was in Home Depot when Tommy took a shit in a display toilet,then ran around the store shouting 'I have a white slug',this kid is seriously driving me up the walls" she grumbled. "Ha! That's hilariously EEEEEVVVVVIIIIILLLLL!" Max cackled. "Thanks man,you're a real hero" Mr Dynamo replied sarcastically. Max,who didn't recognise the sarcasm,merely rolled up his sleeves and turned to the camera, "Viewers at home,watch good with your eyes and listen close with your ears. As I,MAX VON-DOOM,discipline this child with great prejudice!" he announced triumphantly. Dragging a stool over,Max would dig around inside a cupboard in order to find what he'd been told was Tommy's favourite snack. As Tommy continued dancing on top of the fridge,Max stood at the bottom and shouted, "HEY! HEY! LOOK AT ME! LOOK AT ME RIGHT!" to get Tommy's attention,looked him dead in the eyes and then took a bite of the snack. Tommy screamed in horror and began waving his hands all over the place. "Would you be interested in seeing me eat more?" Max asked with a grin as the box hung down in his fingers. "NUH-UH!" Tommy yelled as he rapidly shook his head back and forth. "Well then" Max grinned, "Get down from that fridge and GET YOUR BUTTOCKS ON THE NAUGHTY STOOL!".

INTERVIEW START

Max: When it comes to childcare,asserting your dominance is vital to ensure that you remain in control! Of course with my EEEEEVVVVVIIIIILLLLL ingenius mind I have no trouble showing lower ranked people who's really in charge.

INTERVIEW END

(Las Vegas,Nevada)

The hot sun was beating down as Harold wiped the sweat from his brow and climbed out of a taxi. He checked his notes to confirm that he was indeed in the right place,seeing that the coordinates matched up. After receiving his challenge briefing he'd been taken to the airport and flown out on a low budget RyanAir flight to Las Vegas in America,with it apparantely being the location of his set of tasks for the day. "Hmm,this has really got me scratching my noggin" Harold sighed as he fanned his face with his notes, "Wonder if anyone else had to go all this way just for their challenges too?". He walked into the building in front of him,finding himself in a fancy pawn shop. He looked around and was greeted by a large man with greasy hair,who took him to the backrooms of the shop. "You that Canadian dude for the show n' stuff?" the man asked as he lit up a cigarette. Harold nodded, "Ayup,for some reason coming here was vital to me winning Total Drama" he explained as he looked around, "Y'know I gotta say,this place looks really familiar". "Radical,you must've seen our show before" the man said as he extended a hand, "Names Chum Lee,call me Chum". Hearing this name,Harold froze before slowly shaking Chum's hand.

INTERVIEW START

Harold: Oh. My. God. My mind was literally blown that I was where I was. I-It's just...GOSH! WHO WOULD'VE THOUGHT I'D GET TO DO THIS MAN?!

INTERVIEW END

Suddenly the cargo bay doors opened up as light poured into the warehouse and a guitar began to shred as three incredibly large and muscular men rolled up on gigantic motorcycles. The one in the middle got off and took off his helmet to reveal his bald head, "Hey. I'm Rick Harrison,and THIS is MY Pawn Shop" he said in a serious voice, "I work here with my Old Man" he added while pointing at the Old Man on his left, "And my Son,Big Hoss" he continued as he pointed to the man on the right, "Everything in here has a story and a price. One thing I've learned in 23 years? You never know WHAT is gonna come through that door" he explained as he pointed through an open door towards the main entrance to the pawn shop. Rick looked back at Harold, "So...any questions?". There was a pause of silence,until Harold dropped to his knees and began repeatedly bowing while rasping "I'M NOT WORTHY! I'M NOT WORTHY!". Rick rolled his eyes as the Old Man lit up a cigarette next to Chum. "You sure this is a good idea Rick?". Rick shrugged, "Ah the kid seems alright. Besides,we owed that Coyle guy for him giving us some free marketing and halving our broadcast costs. What's the worst that could that happen?". "Hello Sir,I'd like to fulfill my Grandfather's dream and purchase the browns" said an elderly man at the front of the shop. "You bet your ass you came to the right place" smirked Big Hoss,as Chum busted out the 1971 Willy Wonka props. Old Man shook his head, "If he's as much of an idiot as those two we're certainly in luck Rick".

('Bitchin' Bumper Bodyworks')

"And then I says to 'er,if you gots a better way to make that moola 'en I wanna hear it!" a Italian-American man laughed inside a garage surrounded by his coworkers while Brick serviced the underneath of an old junker. "Ayo what say you Bricky boy? You blow up any shit in the army?" another man asked. Brick rolled out from underneath the car and wiped oil from his face, "Course I have! There's nothing better than the smell of burning alloys in the morning" he laughed. "Damn fuckin' straight man!" Tony the manager laughed as he walked over and slapped Brick on the back, "Y'know I once was in the army? Yessir I was doin' donuts n' shit in tanks like fuckin' Gandhi!". "Ayo,wasn't Gandhi that guy who was all about peace Tony?" a man asked. Tony shrugged, "The fuck should I know? If it ain't Jesus it ain't worth my time y'know?". One of the men popped the hood on Brick's car to begin servicing the engine, "What say you on Religion Bricky boy?". "Not much of an opinion,I consider myself a relatively calm Christian" Brick replied. "Oh yeah see I was just wondering 'cuz what I'm about to say might contract God's teachins' y'know?". "Go for it Bobby,what's on your mind eh?" Tony asked. "Well see the thing is I got this girl knocked up,it was a big accident though y'know?" Bobby began, "But see I was thinking about like,getting it aborted or somethin' y'know? But that kinda thing ain't really a good thing y'know? Like my Ma's sayin' I gotta marry this chick and fuggetabout my dream of becomin' one of them fancy pilot guys y'know?" he explained, "So like...what should I do eh?".

INTERVIEW START

Brick: Gotta admit,working here has been really interesting so far. It's just men being men,although I think the Italian genes might be rubbing off onto me. Earlier I got sent out on a supply run and found myself constantly saying "Ayo I'm walkin' here!" everytime something like a person or car cut me off.

Tony (The Boss): Bobby's a good guy. He's like family y'know? But when it comes to the cheekers he ain't exactly picky y'know? Hasn't found his dream girl yet but we all know this broad Stacey definitely ain't it y'know?

INTERVIEW END

(A Random Parking Area)

"Woo! You get 'em Eva! Show 'em who's boss!" a woman cheered as Eva picked up a small car with her bare hands to prevent it from driving away. "WHAT THE FUCK ARE YOU DOING? LET GO OF MY CAR!" the man inside cried,his voice sounding terrified. "YOU PARKED ON THE LINES,NOW PAY YOUR FUCKING $20 TICKET!" Eva screamed as she shook the car back and forth.

INTERVIEW START

Eva: What? Sometimes you gotta get rough to get results.

INTERVIEW END

(In the Middle of the Woods)

"Don't worry little moose,I'll rescue you!" Ella called out into the bushes. She turned to the camera and smiled, "As you can viewers at home,we're going to perform a very careful rescue to save this moose! Fingers crossed it goes well!" she explained. She took a few steps forward and made a shush motion to the camera crew,pulling back some branches as a group of moose came charging out of the brambles.

*The following program has been paused due to undisclosed circumstances. Thank you.*

(On a shopping complex roof)

"C'MON MAN,KEEP UP!" Chet yelled as he jumped over a small vent shaft. "YEAH DUDE,THE COPS ARE ON OUR ASSES,PICK UP THE PACE!" Lorenzo chortled as he flipped over a fence. "YEAH! *cough* I NOTICED! *wheeze*" spluttered Noah as he lumbered behind the two men. Noah removed the Go-Pro from his head to address the audience, "Hey all,Noah here! And this is bad,real bad" he wheezed as he tripped over his own feet and nearly fell over, "As you can see *wheeze* we're running away *cough* from Mall Security who found us doing parkour and *wheeze* climbing" he explained as he carefully jumped over a guard rail, "I'm not sure how much longer I can hold out". "HERE COME THE NINJAS!" Chet and Lorenzo both laughed simultaneously,one leaping out from a grate on the ground with a kick towards Noah,knocking the camera out of his hand. All that could be seen on the screen was Noah running away with his hands up screamig like a girl as a group of ninjas did an unnecessary amount of flips after him.

INTERVIEW START

Chet: Me and my totally awesome stepbrother Lorenzo have wanted to do our own cool reality show with parkour,kung fu,ninjas and stuff since we got cheated outta the Ridonculous Race. It took us a while to get off our feet,but with our awesome parkour and our buddies Rock and Spud doing the music and helping us break into places for overnight challenges we managed to build a huge audience! HIYAH! *he knocks over the camera by doing kung fu*

Lorenzo: Yeppppp,the idea to do all this was totally my idea. Chet wanted to do an all-nighter in a Chuck E. Cheese that Rock was working at,but he got fired when the company went bankrupt so instead we went with climbing the massive mall near our Parent's house. And dudes,the view from the top of that thing and the thrill of the chase AND awesome parkour! Dudes...it. is. CRAZ-YYYYY! *does a bunch of flips,knocking over trashcans and falling over a fence*

Noah: *he's covered in plasters with his clothes seeped in sweat* Man,I feel like an old man with arthritis trying to keep up with those guys,it's like they constantly take shots of Heisenberg blue crystal meth every five seconds!

Inside Chris' house,he and Chef laughed as Chris turned off the TV which was showing Noah on "Stepbrothaaaaa's Sigma Parkour n' Stuff". "Heh,seems like everyone's having fun" Chris chortled. "Yussir,certainly havin' a ball" agreed Chef. Chris turned to the cameras that,this time,were in his house with permission and didn't have to break in to get footage, "With our contestants all having an absolute ball it's really anyone's game! Who will win immunity? Who will nearly die? Find out after the break!" he smiled,kicking up his feet and sipping his drink. "Nicely done man" replied Chef.

COMMERCIAL BREAK

Narrator: "Tonight on a special Mr Beast video".

Jimmy: "I JUST BOUGHT THE BOIS THESE SUPER EXPENSIVE PRIVATE JETS!".

Chandler: *in the cockpit of his jet* "Woo!".

Chris: "What are we doin' with these jets Jimmy?".

Jimmy: "HERE'S THE DEAL! WE GOT THESE JETS HERE IN A HANGER,AND OVER THERE ACROSS THAT FIELD IS KARL WHO IS IN AN EXACT REPLICA OF THE NORTH TOWER! WE'RE GONNA TAKE TURNS THROWING THESE PLANES AT THE TOWER WITH THIS DUMMY THICC SLINGSHOT TO PLAY REAL LIFE 'ANGRY PLANES'! THE WINNER GETS 50 GRAND AND CAN KEEP THEIR JET!".

Chris: "Man that sounds sweet as heck Jim,ya boi do be only driving a Buick at the moment to do the grocery run".

Karl: *shouting through a megaphone* "Hey Jimmy,you sure this is safe? I mean,one of us could get seriously hurt dude!".

Jimmy: "Have no fear Karl,for every one of you that dies we'll plant 2 trees in your honour AND donate Mr Beast Burger coupons to the local children's hospital to thank them for being fans! But will any of The Bois die? Find out tonight in a HYPE AS FRICK MR BEAST VIDEO,FIRST VIEWER AND COMMENTOR GETS A TESLA!".

COMMERICAL BREAK END

(Anime Convention)

"YOOOOOOOOO! LOOOOOOOOK!" Mr Coyle gasped. "What is it?" Dawn asked as the two walked into the convention center. Mr Coyle posed dramatically, "They have a manga stall! That's fucking POG!" he exclaimed as he darted over and scanned the shelves for new volumes for his collection. "Just a quick question,we're not going to be here for long,right?". "I dunno" Mr Coyle replied,sticking his head out from behind a shelf, "I wanna try scope out this entire place". Dawn was annoyed but tried not to show it in case she seemed rude, "But what about the time limit? By the time we leave,the others might have already finished". Mr Coyle tapped his chin, "I see your point,believe me I do. Hmmmmmmm" he thought, "Aight. If you WANT,you can leave and do all the stuff on the chore list,show proof to Aramis back at the office and you'll get your clock out to finish the challenge" he explained, "That's Option 1 alright. Option 2! You stay here the whole day with me and we do nerd stuff" he smiled as he turned around and began looking around the shelves again, "You may take as much time as you need,I imagine such a difficult decision will take you months,YEARS EVEN! But fear not for I KNOW you'll make the right cho-...oh she's gone" he sighed. He clicked his tongue, "Well...that is certainly upsetting".

INTERVIEW START

Dawn: I do feel a little bad,but I have a challenge to win! Maybe if I get some free time I can make it up to him,no promises though.

Mr Coyle: Meh,I'm not too upset about her just bailing on me. I normally have a better time doing this kinda stuff by myself anyway,mainly because everyone is so incredibly fucking slow and can't keep up the pace with me when walking around.

INTERVIEW END

(Rick Harrison's Pawn Shop)

INTERVIEW START

Rick: Lately business has been a little slow,not as much people looking to pawn and sell stuff. But this morning something big came in that I handed off to the newbie,I can only hope things went well.

INTERVIEW END

Wearing the uniform shirt and standing behind the counter,Harold watched as an old man came in with cart that held piles of metals. "Afternoon sir,what can I do for you?" he rasped. "Well see I'm looking to sell my collection of gold and silver,if you're interested of course" the man replied. Harold was surprised, "Wow,seriously? That's all authentic gold and silver?". The man nodded, "Yes sir,I made an investment in some old mining stocks a few decades ago. After keeping track of the interest values for the last few years I figured that now was as good a time as ever to finally cash out and sell" he explained. Harold held his chin, "Very cool man,very cool indeed. You want some help getting this all up on the counter?". The old man smiled and nodded, "That would be greatly appreciated,these old bones aren't as strong as they used to be" he chuckled,as both he and Harold lifted the bars and bags onto the large counter. Eventually everything was neatly stacked,there was a lot of metal,especially in the bags which contained silver and gold coins. Harold rubbed his hands together to get rid of the dust, "Y'know there's definitely a lotta stock here,but before we start talking prices and cutting deals I just wanna have this authenticated first,if you don't mind". The old man laughed, "Of course,of course! Take all the time you need,I have alllll day".

INTERVIEW START

Harold: If I've learned one thing from Salesman Steve's Sales Camp,it's that you always gotta be careful when making big purchases,especially with something that demands a hefty price like gold and silver. Taking into account all he's got,this dude is potentially sitting on an absolute gold mine of profits...heh,see what I did there? Ah,comedy gold...heh heh.

INTERVIEW END

Pulling out some lense pieces,microscopes and rubber gloves,Harold adjusted his glasses, "Alright,let's get to work. Just gonna be looking for things like serial numbers,dates,any ownership initials,that sorta thing. Since you said you got all this stuff from mining stock there should be a few signs that say where each piece came from" he explained as he examined a gold bar, "Got any papers for proof of ownership?". "Yes,yes,of course!" said the old man as he ruffled around inside a small briefcase,pulling out a sealed envelope, "There should be contracts and ownership papers in here". Harold smirked, "Awesome! Now,let us begin". Harold soon got to work,Chum and Big Hoss watching in amazement as he blew through each individual piece of metal.

INTERVIEW START

Big Hoss: My Dad and the Old Man are experts when it comes to the metal industry,usually they can authenticate something just by looking at it or feeling the texture,no matter what it is. So to see this younger guy who seemingly has less experience in the business field come in and manage to have all these expertise and skills at identifying all that stuff,man I gotta be honest,it's pretty cool.

INTERVIEW END

(Tow Yard & Impound Lot)

Back at Eva's job,she was going around the Impound Lot making sure the steel boots and chains were correctly attached to all of the cars. This was a security measure to ensure that nobody climbed the fence to steal their car back after being impounded. "This is so fucking boring!" she grumbled to herself,as she checked each individual chain and boot. "Why'd I have to get this dumb job instead of something a bit more exciting. I heard Noah got to do some rooftop parkour show,that sounds way better than this. I'm not even getting to do stuff in front of the cameras! The camera guys went off with the others and left me here to do this shit!" she yelled as she kicked a bumper in annoyance. The job was done a few hours later,so Eva headed back inside the main building and waited for the lads in charge to return. "Man,if those jackasses could just hurry up I could be on my way already!" she muttered,kicking her feet up on a desk.

INTERVIEW START

Eva: I've done so much pointless shit today! Waxed the trucks,handed out tickets,ran into Dawn while picking up dry cleaning,changed some tires,fixed a lightbulb AND then checked all the boots on the impounded cars. WHY THE FUCK CAN'T I JUST LEAVE ALREADY?! *she has a bit of a rage moment and begins throwing stuff around,knocking out the camera*

INTERVIEW END

('Bitchin' Bumper Bodyworks')

"Have a good day Ma'am,be sure to come back whenever you need a tune up or oil change!" Brick called out as another happy customer drove off. Tony threw an arm around the cadet, "Brick my guy,you're a fuckin' legend man! You've sorted out more people in one day then we fix up in a fuckin' week!" he cheered. "What can I say? Just making sure the job is done as efficientely and as high quality as possible Sir!" Brick saluted. "Y'know I recon we treat this guy to a few slices from Rey's,eh?" asked Bobby, "I think the man's earned it,y'know?". "You bet your ass we're taking this fuckin' guy to Rey's!" Tony laughed. Brick was puzzled, "Who's Rey? I don't believe I know of him". Tony laughed again, "Rey's Pizza is just down the block,my buddy Rey runs the joint,does fuckin' beautiful New York style pizza,top of the line man,TOP. OF. THE. LINE!" he explained. Brick checked his watch, "Hmm,I'm not sure guys. Gotta be conscious of time for Total Drama" he replied,which resulted in sounds of dissapointment from the others. Brick smirked, "Ah who am I kidding? I can't just ditch you fellas now,c'mon! Let's chow down!" he cheered,as the men all left the garage and locked up. "Oh by the way" Tony began as they all walked to the pizza shop, "Here's a little somethin' for yourself for doin' such a good job man" he smiled,shaking Brick's hand and leaving a $50 note behind. Brick was surprised, "Wow,that's certainly one hell of a tip. Thank you Sir,greatly appreciated".

INTERVIEW START

Brick: I geniuely had fun today with these guys. Suffice to say,I at least made a few good friends and found my new main place for car tune-ups today.

INTERVIEW END

(Back in the Woods)

Now patched up after the moose attack earlier that day,Ella weakly smiled at the camera, "Hello again viewers! We had a teensy bit of trouble earlier,but now I'm ready to save some animal lives! To start,some of our team came across a wild bear caught in a trap that we're going to set free!". Stepping over some rocks,Ella showed the large black bear that was caught in a spiked trap,blood soaking it's fur and the shiny metal. "There there Mr or Mrs Bear,you'll be alright" Ella whispered,stroking her hand across it's fur, "Excuse me Miles? Could you hand me the pliers and buzzsaw?". Staying behind the camera,Miles handed her the tools needed to free the bear. Within a few minutes the first part of the rescue was completed,as the spikes were prissed from the bloodied flesh. Now free,the bear slumped onto it's side and began weakily groaning. "Now we begin the second part of the rescue" said Ella,addressing the camera and picking up a medkit, "First we take out some water and spray to clean the wound! Take caution though,as sometimes it can sting a bit for the animal you want to help" she explained while cleaning the wound, "Next,wrap the wound in gauze and bandages in order to stop any bleeding!" she continued,wrapping the bandages, "Finally,you must ensure the animal in question is safe! Luckily for us,we have some men pulling up in a truck to transport Mr or Mrs Bear here to a shelter to watch over it during the healing process!" she smiled as a small team of vets and park rangers climbed out of their truck to load the bear onto the back.

INTERVIEW START

Ella: Phew,all in a day's work for helping nature.

INTERVIEW END

(Dynamo Household)

"You see it's all about showing the child who the Alpha of the home is" Max gloated as he lounged on a recliner drinking wine while Mr and Mrs Dynamo sat on the couch enjoying their wine too. "I just can't believe you managed to pull all this off! Tommy cleaning his room without being asked fifty times as well as cleaning up after dinner is just mind blowing!". Max sipped his wine, "I believe your biggest problem is the fear of confrontation,you don't want to argue with the child and so bend to his every will" he explained, "That just cannot stand,truly a man should be able to live carefree in his own home while asserting his dominance!". "You know what? I completely agree,if there were awards for not having the balls to stand up for yourself then Michael would instantly win without even having to open his mouth" Mrs Dynamo scoffed. "H-Hey! I can stand up for myself just fine!" Mr Dynamo exclaimed, "Just last week somebody cut in front of me while at the store,so I calmly informed him that I was ahead of him line". "And tell me,did he return to his previous position in line or did he just stay there?" Max asked. Mr Dynamo raised his pointer,thought for a second and then lowered it, "That parts not important". "Yeah,that's what I thought" Mrs Dynamo snarked.

INTERVIEW START

Max: Something tells me these two are in dire need of councelling,not the child.

INTERVIEW END

The day continued on and on as time kept ticking,while some were working as hard as possible there was a few who were merely awaiting the opportunity to clock out and return. However as the sun began to set,Chris finally met the first contestant to return inside the services tent. "Brick my man! Didn't expect to see you back first!" Chris grinned. "Glad to be the winner of the day Sir,I really tried my hardest and got along swimmingly with my comrades at the garage" Brick responded with a hearty salute, "Must admit,I'm surprised to be the first one back. I would've thought someone like Eva or Harold would be back by now". Chris chuckled, "Believe me,it's certainly a surprise. Though speaking of Eva,here she is now" he chortled as Eva stomped into the tent. She was fuming to see Brick had barely beaten her back,and as such fittingly blew up in a rage which resulted in Brick and Chris running outside to wait it out. One by one the others all arrived back,though oddly enough Harold and Noah were still yet to appear. "Hmm,wonder what's keeping those two" Chris murmured to himself as he pulled out his phone. Before he could dial a number however,it began to ring. He hit answer and got quite a shock.

"Hello? Chris?" said the voice on the other side. "Uhhhhhh,yeah dude?" Chris asked,with slight suspicision, "Who's this?". "It's me! Noah! You know,from Total Drama? That Noah!" Noah exclaimed sarcastically. Chris titled an eyebrow, "Yo Noah,what's up man? You're taking an awful long time to get back to the film-lot". "Heh,see that's the thing,a real funny story! I'm in jail" Noah replied. Chris laughed and took the phone away from his ear, "Hey guys! Noah got arrested!". Ella,Eva and Brick spat out their drinks and laughed with a mixture of surprise and bewilderment. "Are you serious? What happened?" Dawn asked. "Apparently Chet and Lorenzo don't tell the cops when they wanna film and illegally climb on stuff while recording it and publishing it to the masses on international television" Noah explained. "How long are you gonna be there for man?" Chris asked, "We got a schedule to keep y'know". "I really can't say for sure,do me a favour and ring up that producer guy we always see hanging around to bail me out of here". Chris rolled his eyes, "Alright alright,I'll get onto him now and see if he can pull a few strings to pay your bail. Chances are though that he'll use it as an opportunity to put you in his debt for dumb favours". "Whatever,I can handle it just get me out of here already!" Noah yelled. With that,Chris hung up the phone and sighed, "Man,sometimes that guy can be a bit of a dick". Suddenly beeping could be heard outside as a taxi pulled up,with Harold clambering out and running into the area, "I'M HERE I'M HERE I'M HERE! DON'T DO ANYTHING I'M RIGHT HERE!" he shouted. "Harold my man! Good to see you got back from Vegas safely" Chris smiled, "Would've been nice if you were faster though". "I'm really sorry" Harold wheezed, "There was some bad weather so my flight got delayed,I probably would have been the first back had that not happened".

CONFESSIONAL START

Brick: Ah,what did I say? I knew I'd be able to come out on top and win today. Yep,I'll be sleeping soundly tonight!

Noah: I was in that police station handcuffed to Chet and Lorenzo for six HOURS. How I didn't end up killing myself is still a mystery.

Dawn: *sigh* All that work for nothing. Words cannot describe my disappointment.

Harold: I may not have won the day,but at least I got to examine some cool stuff,like a collection of gold and silver,some old World War 2 rifles and even an old Transformers G1 collection.

Ella: I'm quite sad that I wasn't able to win the challenge today,and it's a shame I got run over by a family of moose this morning,but at least I did some good by saving other animal lives!

Eva: *destroying the confessional*

CONFESSIONAL END

With Noah eventually being released from the local jail,the seven contestants were now all back at the film-lot so Chris decided to address them while they ate dinner. "Alrighty dudes and dudettes,hope you all had a blast working for those other shows. Not that it really matters since most of you probably won't do anything with your lives after your run on this show ends,but still" he chuckled, "It was a tight race but in the end it was Brick who managed to bring it home first and win immunity!" he announced, "For now eat up and then head over to the Award Stage for the Gilded Chris Ceremony,I'll see you guys soon" he explained as he left the tent,a form of silence hanging over the contestants as nobody spoke and instead kept eating. The girls eventually left the tent,leaving the guys by themselves. "So" Harold began, "How'd things go for you lads?". "About as well as expected,I handled the task with extreme ease" Max smirked,folding his arms. "Pfft,I highly doubt that" scoffed Noah, "If it were the case you would've won instead of Brick". "Blasphemy!" Max yelled. Brick shook his head, "He might actually have a point,I even went out for pizza with my coworkers and still won" he chuckled, "But enough about that,I wanna get straight to business and know who we're gonna send packing tonight". Noah scratched the back of his neck, "I was thinking Dawn. She's the last person who would've originally been on my team besides Max". "Hmmmmm" mused Max, "I was considering Eva,due to her physical advantages in the strength category". Harold nodded, "Seems like a good idea,if we risk things she could potentially rack up immunity wins and send us all home". Max raised a hand, "All in favour of voting for Eva?". "Might wanna hold off for a second" came a voice from the doorway of the tent. "Hmm? Who goes there?" Max asked,turning around in shock and throwing a spoon as a reflex. There was a grumble as the voice was hit in the nose by the spoon, "Listen,listen,before you go and do anything drastic. I've a proposition".

*Award Stage - Gilded Chris Ceremony*

The orchestral music began playing as Chris walked on stage in his classic blue tuxedo as always while the seven contestants sat on the bleachers. "Good evening amigos! Welcome back to the long awaited Gilded Chris Ceremony! It's been a long day for all and you all seem real tired so I'll try breeze through this at a brisk pace. Before we continue remember that Brick is off the table for votes due to his immunity win,but everybody else is fair game!" he chortled while the beeps were heard from the voting devices. A few seconds later,Chris was handed a piece of paper with the results, "Okay dudes and dudettes,let's get the ball rolling. The following players are safe;

Brick obviously,

Harold my man,

Dawn,

Noah

and Dr Evil,heh heh" he chuckled as the Gilded Chris Awards were handed out,although Max wasn't too happy about being referred to as Dr Evil. "Eva and Ella,seems like you two are the final two left without an award,yet only one Gilded Chris remains in my hand. Thoughts?" he asked. "Tch,I'm not scared" Eva grunted. "I am a tad nervous but I'm sure things will be okay" Ella smiled. "Kinda boring but whatever" muttered Chris,rolling his eyes, "Tonight,the final Gilded Chris Award to allow someone to remain in the competition and not walk down the Carpet of Shame to Lame-O-Sine and out of the game for good goes to...

...

Eva!" Chris announced, "Heads up Iron Woman!". "Nice" Eva muttered. "W-What?" Ella stammered,her voice breaking a little. "Ah poor Ella,quite a shame but that's just how the cookie crumbles" Chris replied,pretending to wipe away a tear while smirking. "B-But why? I didn't do anything wrong,did I?" she asked sadly while looking back up at the others. Harold,Max and Brick all looked away and awkwardly whistled while Dawn was just scratching her head in confusion. "U-Uhm,Eva?" she asked,looking at the Iron Woman next to her. Eva folded her arms and rolled her eyes, "Yeah,what? You aren't gonna cry because I got the guys to all vote for you,right?". Ella now looked even sadder,a little tear forming in her eye, "B-But why? Did I do something mean to you without realising?". "Nope,I just don't like you all that much" Eva scoffed coldly.

CONFESSIONAL START

Chris: Woah! Talk about harsh,am I right? Heh heh.

CONFESSIONAL END

"Look I'm sort of sorry,but the guys were all gonna send me home tonight. I'd much rather keep myself in the game then you,simple" Eva explained. Ella was starting to get quite upset at Eva's harshness,but wiped her eyes and kept it together. "O-Oh...w-well...I'm sorry if I did something wrong" she sniffed. Chris yawned, "I feel like there's some deep emotional backstory that's been happening offscreen and hasn't been known up until now,but at the same time that it's also as simple as one person just not having any care for someone else. Anywho I recon it's about time we wrap this send-off up" he monologued out loud before clicking his fingers, "Chef!". Climbing off the stage,Chef picked Ella up and flung her over his shoulder,walking down the Carpet of Shame and dumping her into the Lame-O-Sine,with it clanking away and off the film-lot before she could even roll down the window. She did however open the skylight and call out "G-GOODBYE MY FRIENDS! I HAD FUN THROUGHOUT THESE LAST FEW WEEKS!". Chef brushed himself down, "We really need to up the security round here man" he grumbled.

CONFESSIONAL START

Noah: Huh,I feel kind of...sad? Despite not having any real connection to Ella at all. Hmm,something must be wrong with me.

Harold: That was really harsh,sure there's people that I'm not the biggest fan of,but I at least have the manners to show some decency towards them for the most part.

Eva:...What? I did what I had to in order to stay in the game! The guys were all gonna give me the boot so I convinced them to vote off someone who'd probably just slip by everyone with her happy-go-lucky attitude that would never put a target on her back,SO WHAT?!

CONFESSIONAL END

(Monitor Room)

"Ooooooh,tension-y" Chris chortled as he switched off a monitor that was showing Eva in the confessional, "I wonder what it was that made the guys listen to Eva and follow her in their vote?". "Maybe she threatened to cut their wangs off in their sleep" Chef laughed as he cracked open an ice cold cider. "Heh,whatever it was I'm sure that it'll be sorted out" replied Chris,as he turned to the camera, "Our first merger has been sent packing! We're now eight down and six to go! Will Eva face any repercussions for being a bitch to Ella tonight? Will Noah be forced to do something stupid for Mr Coyle to pay off his bail? What will our next challenge hold? And who's gonna be getting the boot next? Find out next time,on Total! Drama! Take 2!" he cheered, "Yo Chef,throw me a drink!".

(Coyler's note: Damn,at the time of writing this it's around 10:40pm on December 31st,I've seriously been sleeping on my writing for a good few months,terribly sorry for the long wait as always. Writer's Block is such a bastard,it geniunely beats me to high heavens sometimes,no joke. Sorry to the Ella Fans too,but she's done like dinner,I guess I just wasn't really sure what to do. I'll be honest,this entire chapter I wasn't sure who to boot,I was legit spending a good while deciding between Ella,Eva and Max but eventually landed on Ella since I feel there's more for Eva and Max to do. But how much exactly won't be revealed yet,so you'll just have to follow,favourite and wait for the next episode of Total Drama Take 2! Hopefully it won't take half a year this time,though if it does at least Total Despair Academy is being worked on for YouTube on the "Coyler Productions" channel,because I'm seriously lost on where to go with the fanfic,no joke. Anyway,hope you all enjoyed this chapter,have a great night and Happy New Year to you all. Let's hope 2023 will be a better year than this one. Coyler,out!)
