(Production Offices)

"Aw c'mon dude,I can totally handle it myself!" Chris protested. Mr Coyle shook his head, "I'm sure you can,I just don't want you to". The two were sitting in Mr Coyle's office discussing the newest episode before filming. Having heard that someone else would be brought on to host on a trial,Chris wasn't exactly a happy camper. "Is there maybe something you aren't telling me dude? Like that maybe you're tryna,I dunno,REPLACE ME?!" Chris exclaimed. "Tch,yeah right. Look Chris,the guys have been outta work for a few years now and I'm working on a revival,figured that if we were gonna test things out by using the format for a new episode I might as well let them take the reigns. After all,they hosted every episode for their entire time on the air. Only makes sense that they'd know best" Mr Coyle explained, "Besides,I'm still paying you and Chef for the day off so it's not like you two are exactly losing anything of note besides camera time". Chris sighed heavily, "Ughhhhhhhhhh finnnnnnnnne". He turned and looked through the window to the office,seeing the cameracrew standing outside the door and gestured at them, "Well I'm not doing the recap,it ain't my episode remember?". "What the fu-" Mr Coyle began as the cameracrew barged in and pointed the cameras at the producer, "O-Oh,uhhhh r-right! Okay,previously on Total Drama Take 2!;

The teams were finally no longer a thing which resulted in the seven cast members being sent on an epic quest to do odd-jobs for a bunch of guys that I owed favours to. Max showed his skills at child discipline,Brick bonded with some Italian mechanics,Eva got the short side of the bread at a tow company,Dawn did all my chores,Noah got arrested for illegal parkour,Ella got ran over by moose and Harold proved to be quite the salesman at Rick Harrison's Pawn Shop but at the end of the day,it was Brick who was the first back to the film-lot to win immunity. During a discussion after the dinner the mighty dudes alliance wasn't quite sure who to vote for until a mysterious person,who turned out to be Eva,made a move to convince the dudes to follow her and vote for the knock-off Disney Princess herself. With five votes against her it was 'Bye Bye Ella' and 'Damn you're cold as fuck Eva'. Six remain but only five can stay. What will today's new challenge with some fresh host faces hold? And who will be riding in the Lame-O-Sine next? Find out here and now on another exciting episode of Total! Drama! Take 2!" Mr Coyle announced,trying to be dramatic the entire time. After he was finished he looked at Chris, "How was that? Good? Bad? Does it get the 'McLean Seal of Approval'?" he asked,scratching his chin. Chris grinned and nodded, "Indeed,not as fantastic as my recaps but it was a worthy attempt.


(Film Studio)

The room was dark as a studio audience murmured in anticipation,until suddenly the lights were switched on to reveal a game show set with a giant box-like structure in which the six contestants sat in. A microphone was switched on as a manly yet funky voice began to speak. "Welcome toooooo Skatoooooony! The hip n' righteous quiz show where usually toons n' teens compete for prizes! IIIIIII'M one of your handsome hosts..." the voice said excitedly as drums started to roll, "THE EARL!" he announced with enthusiasm,as a tall,older man clad in a 70's disco outfit with high hair emerged in a cloud of smoke onto a small stage next to the contestant booth,posing and waving at the audience. "Ahhh it's great to be back doin' this! Uh-huh!" Earl smiled, "But of course I'm not alone! Just like the good ol' days I'm joined by my pal,drum roll please!" he announced, "CHUDD CHUDDERS!" he cheered,pointing at a fancy set of stairs. The lights shone and the curtains pulled back to reveal a short man in a black suit, "Hey hey hey! Has anyone seen my glasses?" he squeaked before falling down the stairs and landing on his buck teeth. "Heh,hilarious" Noah snarked from his booth. "You okay there lil' buddy?" Earl asked,pointing at Chudd but not helping him up. "Yeah yeah yeah,juuust neato" Chudd muttered as he picked himself up off the ground and pulled his glasses out of his pocket. "Well then,how 'bout we get this show on the road and meet the contestants?" Earl asked,pointing his microphone towards the audience while posing. Of course those in audience seats had a metaphorical gun pointing at their heads which required them to do whatever the hosts asked them to do which resulted in everyone shouting "Let's meet them!". Chudd tapped his teeth to make sure they were still in place, "Alrighty! Let's say hello to Noah! Eva! Brick! Harold! Dawn! and Max!" he announced,as the camera switched between the different booths, "It's good to see you all again! Well,except for Max that is,I can't seem to remember meeting you before". Max scoffed, "Tch,as if I would wish to partake in such a ridiculous television broadcast". "And yet here you are for your third Total Drama season,hypocrite" Noah snarked.

CONFESSIONAL START

Dawn: I'm not really sure what's going on. I woke up this morning already sitting in the quiz booth and didn't get an opportunity to ask what were doing.

Eva: Yesterday my loss was a dumb fluke,but TODAY I'm gonna crush 'em all.

CONFESSIONAL END

"So remind me again,who are you guys?" Eva asked,titling her unibrow. "We're old,washed up quiz show hosts looking for a revival!" Earl beamed, "Figured goin' to our buddy Coylemeister would be a great way to get our butts back in the spotlight!". "Well it's a bit more complicated then that,but you've got the basic jist of it" Chudd added, "Anyway,I think it's about time I explain the premise real quick!" he exclaimed, "We're gonna have three seperate rounds consisting of one game each. At the end of Round 1 we'll drop the two of you with the lowest scores,same goes for Round 2 which'll leave two contestants battling it out for today's grand prize!" he explained. "The glorious winner will win not only win immunity from your elimination voting thing later tonight BUT they also win a PSP! God knows we had a boatload of them in storage after getting cancelled all those years ago" Earl chuckled. "Great,I'd love nothing more than to spend the rest of the season with a serious contraction of 'PSP Leg' " Harold muttered. "Shut up Harold,just get on with it" Eva grunted, "Hey tiny host guy,what do we gotta do first?". Chudd adjusted his tie, "So you ask and so we reveal! Tell 'em what we're playing first Earl!".


"Bang On or Bogus!" - Earl

"Here's the quick rundown" Chudd began, "I'm gonna start listing random pieces of information,some of it is bang on correct but other stuff is gonna be bogusly false! If you think it's correct,hit your buzzer and say 'Bang On!',if you think it's a bunch of baloney then smack your buzzer and say 'Bogus!',got all that?" he asked after explaining the rules. "Seems simple enough" said Brick. "Indeed,nothing too complicated to begin with" agreed Dawn. Chudd rubbed his hands together, "Fantastic! For a timer,Earl went over to services tent and swiped your buddy Chef Hatchet's breakfast meatball sub. You've got until he finds out and gets in here looking for answers! Without further adue,let's get the ball rolling!".

CONFESSIONAL START

Noah: When it comes to crappy game shows like this I'm usually the only one at home who manages to get everything right. If they just let me go on 'Who wants to be a Millionaire?' then I guarentee that Lindsay and I would be living on our private island in France with a giant mansion and fleet of private jets and yachts. *sigh* The question is,do I go full tryhard mode to win immunity tonight OR do I just let myself get eliminated early and talk the guys into voting out Dawn. Hmm,tough call.

CONFESSIONAL END

"At the bottom of lake Loch Ness lives a giant sea monster called Nessie!" Chudd exclaimed as a buzzer was hit, "Dawn,lemme hear it!". "Obviously that's bang on,we just haven't proven it yet" Dawn smiled as a fart buzzer was heard. "Nope that's totally bogus!" Chudd replied. "What on earth was that noise?" Max asked,looking around and scratching his head. "It's just a little something we use to signal who's got something wrong" said Earl,striking a pose. "The grooming brand 'Lynx' only sells deodorant!" said Chudd, "Harold,whaddaya say?". Harold pushed up his glasses, "That's totally bogus,they also sell shower gel,shampoo and beard treatment kits. It's basically the only brand I use next to Old Spice". "Just needed to hear you say 'Bogus!' but thanks for the personal insight Harold,you're correct!" Chudd laughed, "The box art of the Nintendo game Contra depicts two men that resemble Arnold Schwarzenegger and Sylvester Stallone!" he yelled as a buzzer was hit, "Eva! Is that 'Bang On' or 'Bogus'?". Eva rolled her eyes, "Bang On.". "Sounding a tad serious but yep,that's correct!" Earl laughed.

"The third season of Total Drama took place all around the world!" said Chudd, "Noah?". Noah rolled his eyes, "Bang on,I was there after all. Even though sometimes I wish I hadn't". "The rock song 'Dirty Deeds Done Dirt Cheap' was written and performed by Twisted Sister!" exclaimed Chudd as a buzzer was quickly hit. "BO-GUS!" Brick declared, "It was written and sung by my favourite all-time band AC/DC of course!". "Excellent tastes man" nodded Harold, "I too consider myself an Avid AC/DC Enjoyer". "Respect soldier,respect" Brick grinned,reaching up and fist bumping the nerd. Chudd checked his watch, "How are we looking on time Earl?". "I'd say we still got a bit of time of kill" Earl chuckled,looking out a window up top and watching Chef get out of his car in the parking area and start walking towards the service tent. Chudd adjusted his tie once again, "Well in that case,shall we continue?" he asked, "The popular Japanese manga series 'JoJo's Bizarre Adventure' was originally based on 'Fist of the North Star'!". Harold and Noah both reached for their buzzers with them flashing at the same time. "OOH! Close call Harold,but Noah got there first" Chudd winced. "Darn,hard luck" Harold sighed. "That's bang on Chudd" Noah smirked as his booth dinged to show another point.

CONFESSIONAL START

Harold: Pfft,I bet Noah doesn't even know what 'Fist of the North Star' is,he probably just looked at my booth to find the answer by reading my face.

Noah: Heh,I totally just looked at his booth and found the answer by reading his face. As if I'd waste my time with that dumb Japanese stuff. I mean c'mon,was kung fu in 'Citizen Kane'?

CONFESSIONAL END

"The second World War began on September 1st 1939!" Chudd said,trying not to put much enthusiasm in for this one, "Lemme hear ya Max!". "Ahem,I do believe that to be 'Bang on' my good sir" Max replied,sounding posh. "Haha,love the accent Max,that's correct!" Chudd replied excitedly. "The Decepticon 'Soundwave' was originally voiced by Frank Welker!" exclaimed Chudd, "Harold,go!". "Bang on!" Harold rasped, "Soundwave will always be superior". "Correct!" Chudd beamed, "A Boeing 747 is a type of a car!". "Oh bogus! Bogus!" Eva yelled,smashing her buzzer over and over. Chudd stepped back, "U-Uh y-yes! Yes that's correct Eva! Love the enthusiasm though maybe you could be a little more careful with the equipment" he suggested nervously. Eva folded her arms, "Whatever buckeroo". "The shounen manga 'One Piece' is the longest in shonen history!" said Chudd. Brick hit his buzzer and scratched his chin, "Um,bang on?". "No that's totally bogus!" Chudd giggled. "Everybody knows the longest running shonen is 'KochiKame: Tokyo Beat Cops' at over 1,900 chapters" Harold rasped. "Well obviously not everyone if you were the only one to know" Noah snarked. "The character 'Joey Tribbiani' from the sitcom ' Friends' is Italian-American" said Chucd,trying to do Italian hand gestures. Dawn,who had been asleep since getting her first question wrong,landed on her buzzer by accident and caused her to wake up. "H-Huh? What?" she asked while yawning, "Um...uh...bang on maybe?". "That's correct!" Chudd nodded, "Might wanna try pick up the pace there Dawn,try and stay awake! How we lookin' for time Earl?". Shouting and cursing could be heard from the services tent as Chef charged out the door and began frantically looking around by flipping over cars. "WHERE'S MY SUB?!" he roared at the top of his lungs. "Our questions are numbered Chudd,better speed things up" Earl replied,looking at the carnage with giant binoculars. "Yikes! Okay gang,let's turn up the speed dial!" Chudd exclaimed, "The teen flick 'Mean Girls' stars Scarlett Johanson as the main protagonist!". "Bogus" Noah said,sounding bored as he scored another point, "I've had to watch that movie at least one hundred thousand times with Lindsay,at this point it's entirely engraved into my brain". "An aircraft carrier is a type of military vessel used to transport other sea vessels!" Chudd said as he read from his pocket cue cards, "Go for it Brick!". "That's a certified BOGUS!" Brick yelled. "That's Correct!" Chudd smiled, "Germany is most known for chocolate!". "Bang on of course!" Max cackled as he scored another point. "You sure about that? I'm pretty a little event called 'World War 2' might have been a tad more memorable" replied Dawn. "Probably not the time to get into that sorta thing,ya dig?" Earl asked,still sitting by the window to monitor Chef.

CONFESSIONAL START

Dawn: Hmph,I was only trying to add to the conversation.

Max: DOITSU NO KAGAKU WA SEKAIICHI!

CONFESSIONAL END

"Rutherford B. Hayes was the 19th President of the United States of America!" said Chudd,loosening his tie. Harold slapped his buzzer, "Bang on! He's my favourite 19th U.S President,no word of a lie" he explained. "You've got that right Harold!" said Chudd, "Trigonometry is a mathematical topic based around calculating angles and their functions!". "I think that's bang on?" Eva said,geniunely sounding unsure as she pressed her buzzer. "And I think you're correct!" Chucd replied, "I mean,I know you're correct. A-Anyway,The 'Game of Thrones' character 'Oberyn' was killed after his head was crushed by 'The Mountain'! Brick,is that 'Bang On!' or 'Bogus!'?". "I'm positive that the answer is BANG ON!" Brick grinned with pride as his booth pinged to signal a correct answer, "Heh,I totally guessed that one". A large bang was suddenly heard as Chef crashed through a wall like the Koolaid Man. "WHERE'S MY SUB?!" he yelled. "Gah! He has it!" Chudd yelped in fear as he dove behind the entrance stairs and pointed upwards. "Oh Cheffy boi! I do believe this here delicious meatball sub might be yours!" Earl mischeviously called down from above as he slid down the ladder and handed it to Chef. Chef snatched it back and took a bite,sighing at the taste in delight, "Thank you" he grunted as he turned around and walked through the wall by creating an entirely new hole right next to the one he had just made. "Is he gone?" Chudd asked nervously,still behind the stairs. "Yep,that big ol' bully is gone like the wind. Your good pal THE EARL sent him packin'!" Earl beamed,flashing his brilliantly white teeth and posing. "Well then,looks like with that taken care of the first round is finally over!" Chudd announced,emerging from the stairs again and onto the stage after composing himself, "Taking a look at the scores it seems that Dawn is leaving us with only one point!" he announced as everyone said things like "Aw" and "How sad". "Oh well,guess it's back to bed for me" Dawn yawned. "But who's gonna be joining her Chuddster?" Earl asked dramatically. "Well I can say with certainty thaaaaaaat it's not Brick! Or Harold! Not Eva! Nor Noah! Which means that unfortunately it's Max who'll be leaving us!" Chudd explained,trying to sound sad. "U- W-WHAAAAT?! REVEEEEEENGE!" Max shouted in a rage as he shook his fist in anger. "Sorry you two,but that's just how the course of the game works!" said Chudd as some jazz music began to play, "For those who know what comes next,feel free to join in! Take it away Earl!".

"Uh-Huh! Thanks for playin' but YOU'RE OUTTA HERE! You gave it a go but YOU'RE OUTTA HERE! Don't hang around, YOU'RE OUTTA HERE! It's time to go, 'cuz that's the show! YOU'RE OUTTA HERE!" - Earl.

As Earl hit that final note,Chudd pulled out a small device and pressed a button. The second his finger made contact,Max and Dawn were both violently ejected from their seats through the roof of the building and crashing through the roof of a building a construction site directly across from the film-lot. Obviously Max was screaming the entire time while in the air while Dawn just said nothing and basically flew off into the sun. The four contestants left were quite surprised to say the least. "Jesus Christ,that was a dignified end for them" Noah sarcastically quipped. "I thought Chris was insane by sending us away on a giant rocket last season" Brick replied, "Guess there's a new King of Crazy Eliminations". "Only the best for you guys!" Earl laughed, "Alrighty,what say we hit the pause button and take five real quick?". Chudd clicked his fingers, "Excellent idea! Don't go nowhere folks 'cuz there's gonna be a whole lot more quizzing coming your way after the break!".


COMMERCIAL BREAK

[Tonight on an all new episode of 'Better Call Bart'!]

Elias - "Look your honour,I'm spitting facts plain and simple. Just look at the bigger picture! How can this have possibly been a hate crime when my client loved doing it?"

Alex - "You really can't argue with that logic"

Logan - "Bruh I wrote that shit down on a napkin last night"

Judge Jerome - "So Mr Bartlett,killing twenty-seven children and crippling five at the local elementary school is not a hate crime? Even with your logic,he still committed this crime.

Coyle - "Allegedly committed this crime"

Elias - "I'll have you know that you cannot convinct this man! As a wise Coyle once said: 'Just because you're guilty doesn't mean you did it'.

['Better Call Bart'. Tonight at 9pm on the Coyle Broadcast Network]

COMMERCIAL BREAK END


(Film Studio)

"Welcome back studio audience and at-home viewers! Our break has finished so now it's time to get back to quizzing!" Chudd excitedly announced. "What'd you have in mind Chudd?" Harold asked. "Hopefully something more challenging than the last challenge" added Noah. Earl rubbed his hands together, "Well well well,if it's something with a little more challenge then how about we give this a go?".


"Draw What You Hear, and Shout Out When You Know What You've Drawn!" - Earl.

"The aim of this game is real simple but tough to master!" Chudd exclaimed as the contestants were given pads of paper and a pencil, "I'm gonna give some basic instructions that you'll have to follow by drawing along. If you think you know what it is,just hit your buzzer and call out your answer!" he explained. "For our next timer,we brought over one of Mr Coyle's buddies to play some 'Mario Rage'. You guys draw it up real good until ol' Alex McKay can't handle the heat and cracks under the pressure to release his rage! Oh yeah!" Earl explained,striking his fourtieth pose of the day, "You good to go Alex?" he called across the room to where Alex had a folding table with a laptop setup. "Yussir,ready whenever you guys are" Alex replied,giving a thumbsup and putting on his headphones. "Hey Chudd,why don't you handle the timer watch this time,I can handle this baby just fine!" Earl suggested. Chudd shrugged, "Sure sure,whatever you say buddy".

CONFESSIONAL START

Harold: A drawing challenge? Sweet! I was the top student at Artist Steve's Artist Camp,so this should be no problem at all.

Eva: Drawing? Ugh,was never exactly something I was good at. Really the only good things I can do is pumping iron and giving Tyler nosebleeds anytime I wear a bikini.

CONFESSIONAL END

"Alright you cool cats,let's get the ball rolling!" Earl cheered, "Start by drawing a medium sized rectangle. Next,draw a longer n' thinner rectangle coming outta the top!". A buzzer suddenly went off, "IT'S A LIGHTSABER!" Harold yelled,revealing his drawing as the incorrect sound effect played. "No siree Harold buddy,it ain't a lightsaber" Earl sighed, "At the top of your thinnest rectangle,draw a wavy line with a hook shape at the very end!". Brick hit his buzzer, "Is it a fishing rod?". "Ding ding ding! 100 points to Gryffindor and 1 point to Brick!" Earl laughed with his manly tone, "Okay guys n' gal,new page! Draw a small oval at the bottom of your page. Inside the oval,draw three small circles. On the top of the oval,draw a large box with a rectangle coming out of the side". Brick's eyes lit up as he went for the buzzer,however Noah got there quicker. "Tank" he yawned,flipping over his page. "Damn,that sure was quick" Earl joked, "Onward! Start with a large box,then draw two more smaller boxes on top! At the top of each box,draw a small wavy pattern that connects to the sides. Finally draw a few rectangles at the top of the highest box!". Eva scratched her head, "It's a cake,right?". Earl made a gunshot noise with his mouth, "Correctamundo!".

CONFESSIONAL START

Eva: Huh,well look at that. Maybe I'm good at drawing after all.

CONFESSIONAL END

"Onto the next picture!" Earl announced, "Draw a C shape,pretty simple. Then draw two circles connecting at either end!". "Oh headphones! Headphones!" Harold rasped,hitting his buzzer multiple times. Earl covered his ears, "Finally got one right,nice going H-Bomb!". "Next drawing! Draw a large semicircle! Then draw a small rectangle directly underneath". Noah hit his buzzer, "Obviously it's a wine glass" he snarked while rolling his eyes. "OOH! That's wrong buddy boy!" Earl chortled. "Wha- seriously?" Noah snapped. "At the bottom of your rectangle,draw a curved line that goes down but flattens out,then connect the two horizontally! On the large semicircle,draw a hashtag symbol and the number one!". Brick smacked his buzzer, "A first place trophy!" he declared,not noticing Noah giving him an annoyed face. "C to Orrect my good sir!" Earl grinned, "Next up! Start off with a circle and draw a couple of sharp triangles! Then draw four thin lines coming out of each side of the circle!". Eva thunked her fist onto the buzzer, "A dumb spider?". "That's correct! Not sure about the dumb part though" Earl chuckled. "Yep,this is definitely a test of raw skill and calamity avoidance" Alex said to himself in his chair while gritting through his teeth. "Heya Earl! We've been through a few controllers now! Might wanna speed things up before we gotta use the keyboard!" Chudd stammered. Earl clicked his fingers, "Right away Chuddster!" he smiled,turning back to the contestants, "Start off with a square that has a triangle on top! The add a small rectangle inside the square,as well as some mini squares! Finally,add a small rectangle on top of the triangle!". "A house!" Harold rasped,hitting his buzzer with his face. "You got it man!" Earl smiled. "Up next start with half a circle! Then connect the edges by drawing some sharp spikes! Draw some little circles on the bottom as well as two circles towards the rounded edge of the main shape!". Eva pressed down on her buzzer, "Has to be a fire,right?". "Nope,it has to be something that isn't that I'm afraid" Earl said nervously while still keeping his smile,a hard task when Eva was giving him a furious death glare. "U-Uh right,back to your shape thing that isn't fire! Next to your small circles on the inside,draw a thin line underneath them,then give it a C shape with half being coloured in!". "A hedgehog?" asked Noah,with a yawn. "Absolutely correct!" Earl announced. A crack could be heard as Alex fired another controller across the room while screaming "WHAT THE FUCK?!". "Earl! We're down to just the keyboard now!" Chudd yelled in fright. "Oh shoot,better pick up the pace!" Earl exclaimed.

CONFESSIONAL START

Alex McKay: Just for the record I was NOT losing my temper and being bested by a dumb flash game. I was just trying to be self conscious of time and make a memorable moment for the cameras,that's all it was.

CONFESSIONAL END

"Draw a real long semicircle with the round sound facing down! After that,draw a small thin line sticking up on one side and connecting to the opposite side of the semicircle!". A buzzer was sounded pretty quickly. "Lemme hear you Harold!" Earl smiled. "It's a spaceship!" Harold exclaimed,proudly showing his drawing. "Ten points for effort! Zero points for guessing incorrectly!" Earl laughed as Harold frowned, "Draw a long thin rectangle in the middle of your main shape sticking up to the top of the page! Then add in a big triangle to the side of it!". "That's gotta be a sailboat!" Brick declared,pushing his buzzer down with his pen. "You got it baby!" Earl beamed, "Draw a large square! Then draw a slightly smaller rectangle underneath! Next add two long rectangles side by side with two circles at the bottom of each!" he explained as the contestants carefully drew their pictures. Unfortunately something went wrong,as Eva accidentally broke her pencil but didn't have a sharpener. "Hey! I need a new pencil over here!" she yelled,repeatedly hitting her buzzer. "Sorry kid,ain't got the time!" Earl frowned, "Anyway! On top of the box on top,draw two small lines upwards and parallel to each other!" he explained,as the contestants drew and Eva seethed in rage being unable to continue, "Draw small downward angles on each side going inwards that eventually go up to connect in the middle!" he instructed. Harold suddenly had a lightbulb moment,scribbling some extra details and pressing his buzzer, "Optimus Prime!...right?" he asked as his booth dinged. "Hey hey hey! Nicely done!" Earl grinned, "Didn't think anyone would get that one!". "MAN FUCK THIS SHIT!" Alex shouted,picking up the laptop,closing it and then smashing it over his face before throwing it out the window, "Actual FUCKING bullshit!" he yelled in anger,storming out. "H-Huh" Earl stammered,as he,Chudd and the other contestants watched in surprise. "So...is the game over?" Brick asked,poking his head out. "Yep,looks like it" said Earl. "With Alex finished,time is unfortunately up guys!" Chudd announced,walking over to rejoin Earl.

CONFESSIONAL START

Eva: That Alex guy is such a hothead,losing his cool over a stupid game. Pfft,I'd never do something like that.

CONFESSIONAL END

"Well well well,that was definitely exciting to say the least" Earl laughed. "You can say that again!" Chudd exclaimed. "Well well well,that was definitely exciting to say the least" Earl replied,as Chudd rolled his eyes. "Anyway,after that latest round and looking at the points,I can reveal that the next two that will be leaving us are Noah and Brick!" Chudd announced. "What,are you kidding me?" Noah scoffed in annoyance. Eva didn't say anything,she just made angry noises and repeatedly smashed her already broken buzzer. "Talk about a close one" Brick sighed,wiping his brow, "I was certain it would've been me getting kicked in something to do with drawing". "Hey Chudd,is it cool if I keep this Optimus Prime drawing?" Harold asked, "I wanna put it up on my fridge when I get home". Chudd chuckled, "That's okay with me Harold,go right ahead!" he smiled, "Now as for you two,I say it's about time to give you both the old heave-ho!". Noah folded his arms, "Fine,whatever". "YOU'RE! OUTTA! HERE!" Earl sang,as Eva and Noah were ejected from their seats and through the ceiling and sent crashing through a window into the production office across the road. All that could be heard was Elias complaining that they had destroyed his Lego Death Star. "Whew,sucks to be them right?" Harold asked. "You bet" Brick agreed. Chudd rubbed his hands, "With only two of you left,I think it's time we move onto the final challenge of the day!". "All right all right all right!" agreed Earl,striking a pose, "I say we play a round of...".


"Wear in the World?" - Earl.

Harold and Brick sat in their booths with three hats sitting in front of them next to their buzzers. One was a tall,green top hat with a black leather belt wrapped around it. The second was a straw kasa hat and the third was a black beret. "Welcome to the final two guys! Lemme give you the rundown!" Chudd announced, "On your booths are three different hats from three different countries. I'm gonna list a bunch of random facts,all you have to do is select the right hat and hit your buzzer to tell me which country I'm yammering about! Since we couldn't find anything funny to use as a timer,we'll just go with a basic two minute timer!". Brick nodded, "Sounds good to me,ready whenever you are" he saluted. Harold nodded too, "I'm a Geography Pro,let's do this thing!".

"Leprechauns are an infamous creature known to be in what country?" asked Chudd. Brick hit his buzzer putting the beret, "SCOTLAND!". "Wrong!" Chudd replied. "DAMN IT!" Brick yelled,slamming his fist down. "The Eifel Tower is located where?". "Paris in France!" said Harold,putting on the beret and hitting the buzzer. "Correct!" Chudd anounced, "Emperor Hirohito was in power of this country during World War 2!". Brick hit his buzzer for another attempt while putting on the kasa, "Japan!" he yelled,scoring a point.

CONFESSIONAL START

Brick: Okay,so maybe I'm not the best at Geography. But wars and history on the other hand? Oh yeah,now THAT'S stuff I know.

CONFESSIONAL END

"The consumption of alcohol is typically associated with this country!". "Uhhh France?" Harold asked,putting on the beret. "Surprisingly nope!" Earl replied from his own mini stage. "The 'Yamato' was a battleship built for which country?". "Japan!" Brick declared,slapping the kasa onto his head as his booth dinged. "'The Young Offenders' is a sitcom from this country!" said Chudd as a buzzer was hit, "Whaddaya say Harold?". Harold put on the top hat, "It's obviously Ireland,duh". "That's correct!" Chudd exclaimed, "The Sega Game Corporation is located in what country?". "Oh! Japan! Japan!" Harold shouted,putting on the kasa and hitting his buzzer. "Correct!" said Chudd, "What country was the location of the D-Day Landings?". Brick put on his beret, "That would be France!" he smiled as his booth dinged. "Only one minute left guys!" Earl chortled,tapping his watch. "Yikes! Time to turn the speed up a bit for the final stretch boys!" Chudd exclaimed, "This country is infamous for underage drinking and teenage pregnancy!". "Is it Ireland?" Harold asked as he put on the top hat, "My only other guess was England but that wasn't an option". "Right you are Harold,nice one!" Chudd smiled, "Escargot is a popular food,but where?". Harold hit his buzzer again and put on the beret, "France of course". "You got it!" replied Chudd, "The Samurai are ancient soldiers from this country!". Brick put on the kasa, "That's Japan,right?". "B-I-N-G-O!" Earl cheered. "The fictional country 'Westeros' is actually which country turned upside down?". Brick tapped his chin and hovered his hand over the hats,unsure of which one to pick. Unfortunately he wasn't quick enough as Harold selected the top hat and donned it, "I'm positive it's Ireland Chudd" he rasped. "And I'm positive that you're correct Harold!" replied Chudd as a loud alarm suddenly sounded, "OH NO! With that it looks like it's the end of the round!" he exclaimed.

CONFESSIONAL START

Harold: Y'know that really wasn't as bad as I thought it would be. Then again,the second I heard we were doing a quiz show I lost all fear that I'd perform poorly today.

Brick: I'm not entirely sure who won between me and Harold since I didn't look at the scores. Didn't wanna spoil the surprise,y'know?

CONFESSIONAL END

Chudd put his hands together, "This has been a lot of fun guys,it really has been nice to play Skatoony again after all these years". "You said it lil' buddy! I enjoyed myself big time!" agreed Earl as he did a pose. "I have to be honest,it brings a tear to my eye that the day must now end,but I think it's about time that we announce the results" Chudd explained. "Lay it on us man" Harold rasped. "Yussir,I'm prepared" Brick nodded,folding his arms. "After that exciting round,I can happily announce that the winner of both your Total Drama elimination immunity thing AND the PSP is...Harold!" Chudd announced with a big smile as the audience clapped and cheered. Harold fist pumped the air, "ALL RIGHT!". Brick was dissapointed that he had lost,but he took it like a man by extending a hand up towards Harold's booth, "Good game soldier,you were a great opponent". Harold shook his hand firmly, "As were you Brick,as were you". Earl smirked, "With the lucky winner finally decided,I think it's about time we send the unlucky loser away!". Brick frowned, "Do I really have to be ejected from the studio?" he asked. "Yep,that's just the name of the game I'm afraid" Earl replied. "I thought the name of the game was 'Skatoony',no?" Harold asked,confused. Chudd rolled his eyes, "I think the point pf the phrase was missed. Now without further adue,take it away Earl!". "YOU'RE! OUTTA! HERE!" Earl sang with glee,as Brick was ejected from his seat and landed in the back of a garbage truck outside. "Aw man,it stinks!" he yelled. Chudd turned to the cameras, "And with that it's the end of the show! It's been an absolute pleasure to return to TV for some more quizzing good fun! Like always,I'm Chudd Chudders!". "And I'm THE EARL!" Earl added,throwing an arm around his small companion. "Thank you so much for tuning back into...SKATOONY!" they both announced joyfully and simultaneously as the audience cheered,clapped and whistled.


(Services Tent)

It was the end of the day as the six cast members silently ate their dinner. Dawn,Max,Noah and Eva were covered in plasters and bandages due to their crash landings upon being eliminated while Brick was eminating a foul smell due to landing in the garbage truck. "Whew,who stinks?" Chris joked as he walked in holding his nose. "It's coming from me,I had an unfortunate method of elimination during the challenge earlier" Brick explained from the table he was sitting at by himself. "Ah I see,I see" said Chris, "So,how'd it go? I hear ginger boy Harold ended up being victorious in the end,eh?". Harold smiled and puffed out his chest, "You'd be correct Chris,lucky for me I have superior game show skills that I use all the time at home". "I thought it sucked major ass" Eva grunted. "Why? Because you broke your pencil which basically disqualified you?" sniggered Max. "You're one to talk,getting booted in the first round" Noah retorted. "I don't believe it matters where or when we were kicked off as long as we had fun" replied Dawn. "Well of course you'd say that when you got kicked off in the first round too by falling asleep" Eva snapped. Chris was enjoying the arguing and couldn't wipe the smile off his face, "Well anywho,I'll let you guys eat up and talk strategy. I'll see you cool cats later at the award ceremony" he grinned before walking out.

CONFESSIONAL START

Max: While it is a shame that I was unable to win immunity,I do believe I know who myself and the other members of the Men Alliance will vote for.

Dawn: Hmm,it's certainly pointless to try and discuss votes with anyone since I'm basically on my own and outnumbered no matter what I do. At this point my chances for winning the season are practically null.

Noah: I'm still gunning for Dawn to get the boot. She seems to have been keeping quiet to the others,meaning either she's trying to bide her time before telling the guys about my ulterior motives or she just doesn't know about of the stuff I did during the team phase. Then again she teamed up with Bridgette for a while and seemed desperate to give me the boot,if I hadn't have been getting help from Max then I could've easily been sent packing.

CONFESSIONAL END


*Award Stage - Gilded Chris Ceremony*

The bright lights shone and danced in the sky as Chris walked onto the stage, "Alrighty gang,welcome back to the Gilded Chris Award Ceremony,where tonight six shall become five as we bid farewell to another cast member. Place your votes!" he announced as everyone picked up their voting devices and made their choice. A small envelope attached to a parachute was dropped from the top of the stage which Chris caught in a single hand,opening it up to read the results. "And now it's time to reveal your choice! Remember,if you don't receive one of this fabulous Gilded Chris Awards then you must head down the Carpet of Shame,clamber into the Lame-O-Sine and get the hell outta here!" he explained, "Alrighty! The following players are safe to play another day;

Harold,who was the lucky immunity winner today,

Brick,

Dawn

and Max" he announced as Chef tossed the awards to the contestants. "Noah and Eva,looks like your peers have decided it's down to you two" said Chris, "Thoughts?". Noah and Eva both just raised their eyebrows and didn't say anything. "Good times" Chris said sarcastically, "Anyway the FINAL Gilded Chris Award tonight shall go to...

Noah! Shockingly!" Chris announced sarcastically, "Heads up dude!". "Thank God" Noah muttered as he caught his award. WHAAAAAAT?!" Eva screamed, "ARE YOU FUCKING SERIOUS?!". "Yes yes,it's always a shock" Chris snarked. Eva was furious and practically foaming at the mouth as Chef grabbed her before things got out of hand. "GET YOUR HANDS OFFA ME! I'M GONNA FUCKING KILL 'EM!" Eva yelled in anger as she shook her fists and tried to break free while the five remaining contestants just sat and watched it all unfold. "YOU CAN'T DO THIS! I'M NOT DONE YET!" she screeched. "CALM THE FUCK DOWN GIRL,YOU LOST! GET OVER IT!" Chef shouted back as he roughly dumped her in the Lame-O-Sine and smacked the roof to signal the driver to leave quickly. Eva punched the sunroof off and stuck her out as the Lame-O-Sine drove away. "YOU'VE NOT HEARD THE LAST OF ME YOU BASTARDS! I'LL BE BACK!" she roared. "Heh,fat chance" Chris smirked as he shook his head. He walked over to the cast members, "So gimme the scoop,why'd you vote for Eva dudes?". "Mainly for strategic reasons due to her physical strength and for what she did to Ella yesterday" said Brick. "Same for me" added Harold. "I also had the same logic" replied Max. "Um,what they said" nodded Dawn. "Noah,what about you?" Chris asked,smirking. Noah scratched the back of his neck, "Oh y'know,I-I was gonna vote for Eva too but my finger slipped and I hit Dawn by mistake,my bad" he laughed awkwardly. "Huh,well whaddaya know! Good to know we all had the same mindset when voting tonight" Brick smiled. The others laughed it off too,though there was one person who wasn't authentically laughing.

CONFESSIONAL START

Max: Hmm,it seems Noah is speaking lies. Dawn's voting choice is at the very bottom of the screen meaning you'd have to scroll away from Eva to the point where it wouldn't be on the screen. I saw with my own two eyes that he purposely voted for Dawn instead of Eva,going against our alliance's group decision. Suffice to say,it would seem that Tyler was right about his treacherous villainy. I can't believe I allowed him to deceive me like that! REVENGE!

Noah: I was sitting outside the confessional and just heard what Max said. Looks like it's finally time to give him the boot. Tomorrow. He goes tomorrow,mark my words.

CONFESSIONAL END


(Monitor Room)

The monitor showing Noah's most recent confessional turned to static as Chris kicked back in an office chair, "Woah! Tension-y! Seems like we could be getting some Max and Noah verbal confrontation,heh heh. But just how exactly will that go down? What will our next challenge hold now that those dumb quiz show hosts are gone? And WHO will be taking the Walk of Shame down the Carpet of Shame to the Lame-O-Sine next? Find out next time! On Total! Drama! Take 2!" he beamed,doing his classic arm gestures.


(Coyler's note: Another episode finished,yay. Eva being kicked out was something I'd been considering for a while,I knew when originally making the elimination order that I wanted her to merge and have more of a presence since she kinda got shafted in Not-Stars and didn't really do anything so I hope she managed to be somewhat entertaining this time around. I also enjoyed writing this episode! It's a bit on the shorter side and more simple but I think it was pretty fun to bring in Chudd and Earl from Skatoony for a bit of variety instead of just using Chris and Chef or the "Self Insert Gang" of Mr Coyle,Elias,Alex and Logan,even though Alex did get that notable cameo during the second challenge. Anyway! As always I hope you all enjoyed this chapter,be sure to follow and favourite to keep up with the series,especially now that there's only five contestants left meaning the end is approaching us. Also remember to follow my Instagram coyler_productions and my YouTube 'Coyler Productions'! Alrighty,that's it for me! Coyler,out!)
