"The Yukon!" Chris recapped. "Canada's frozen gem. Here, our competitors discovered the thrills of ice floe jumping, the chill of dog sledding, and the buzzkill of frigid romance. In the end, Helga said do svidniya, not that we could understand her. The Yukon! Live the adventure! Where will we dump our remaining competitors this time? Find out right now on Total...Drama...World Tour!"

Team Chris was staying in first class. "Man, first class is so awesome!" Sam exclaimed as he and Greg ate some fresh oatmeal.
"We're eating like kings today," Greg agreed between bites. "Some actual food instead of whatever Chef concocts."
"This is living," Topher sighed as an intern massaged his shoulders. He heard a loud snoring noise and looked to see Lucas bound up and fast asleep on a couch. "How did that-?" he began to ask.
"He moved too much when he was snoozing," Luna explained as she came back with a drink. "So I played Tie-Up with him. Even got him the perfect lumpy mattress, too."
"There aren't any mattresses here." Lucas then rolled off, showing a crushed Sol. "Finally!" he breathed out. "Thanks for not noticing I was missing all right! What am I, Sam?"
"Hey!" Sam cried out as he spewed some of his bite.
"Chew with your mouth closed, buddy," Greg told him as he tried to wipe the food off his face.
"Oops."
"Stupid economy section," Echo grumbled as Team Amazon sat in loser class, with Samey having a blanket around her. "What is that horrible smell?"
"Defeat?" Gwen offered.
"I could have pulled the sled faster if someone wasn't whipping me!" Courtney voiced out.
"We both know that's not true," Echo argued. Courtney just scoffed at this. "First chance we get," Gwen offered, "I'll totally help you vote her off. And I think Trent and Samey will help, too."
"Great!" Courtney cheered. "Can we whip her off?"
Confessional: Echo (Team Amazon)
"Whip me off? Ha! Not if I can turn that whip into a noose...or prove to the others that I'm too valuable to just toss away. Whatever works."
End Confessional
"Any idea where we're heading next?" Trent wondered.
"I hope it's somewhere warm," Samey shivered. "Like the Bahamas. Or Ecuador. I heard they've got cute animals like those birds with bright blue feet."
"Or perhaps Argentina?" Lucas offered as he popped into the loser class. "Once you see the wonders of Buenos Aires, you wouldn't want to leave. From La Boca to the plazas of San Telmo...and that's just the scenery. The meat there...sentiras que estas comiendo con los dioses."
"My knowledge of Spanish isn't that great," Trent said, "But you sound pretty excited."
"Why don't you get lost?" Echo barked out as she shoved Lucas away, making him crash into some crates. "It's bad enough I'm in loser class. I don't need one of Chris's lackeys pestering my team!"
"With Evil Encarne on our team," Gwen muttered, "I wish we had lost yesterday."
"I hear that," Jo agreed as she, Dakota and Phoebe sat on another bench in loser class.
"But how will we win with only three people?" Phoebe asked.
"Don't get so blue, Phoebe," Dakota encouraged. "We won't give up on victory. We are TEAM Victory. We'll keep fighting til the very end!"
"Yeah. Yeah! Thanks for the pep talk, Dakota."
Confessional: Dakota (Team Victory)
"Phoebe is someone that definitely deserves a chance to win. But she can't win if she's down in the dumps with that whole 'curse' thing. I should help her as much as I can."
End Confessional
"Hey, guys," Topher greeted as he joined Team Victory. "I felt a little bad for you guys after what happened in the Yukon, so I smuggled a few things from first class for you."
"I'm not sure we-" Phoebe began. She noticed the huge bar of chocolate that Topher passed to her. "Oh, if you insist!" she gushed. She was about to take a bite when Jo snatched it out of her hands. "I see what you're playing!" Jo accused as she pointed the chocolate at Topher's chest. "Bribe my teammates with candy, and then persuade them into an alliance."
"What?" Topher wondered. "No! I was just trying to be nice! Don't you believe in generosity?"
"I believe I'll throw you out of this plane if you don't start walking back to first class!"
"You are more than capable of accomplishing that. Well, may the best man win, Jo." Topher walked back to first class.
Confessional: Topher (Team Chris Is Really Really Ghost Pepper Hot)
"Jo may be more focused on her brawn, but she's certainly no fool. I'll have to take care of her soon."
End Confessional
"Take a seat," Chris instructed the teams as they sat in a huge lifeboat, "Grab a handle, and I'll tell you where we're going."
"Cool boat," Sam chuckled. "Right, guys?"
"Uh, sure," Trent shrugged, "Um, Harold, right?"
"His name's Sam!" Dakota shouted as her teeth sharpened and her eyes turned red. "SAM!" She managed to knock Trent back. "Okay, okay!" he breathed out as he sat back up. "I won't forget again, trust me!"
"How come you're wearing a life jacket and not us?" Greg asked Chris.
"Cause there's thirteen of you," Chris replied, "But only one valuable me. Hit it, Chef!" Chef pulled a lever, and a hatch opened underneath the boat. Everyone but Chris screamed as the boat fell into the river below. "Welcome to New York City!" Chris announced as he drove the boat past the Statue of Liberty.
Confessional: Dakota (Team Victory)
"New York City! The stores here are legendary! Maybe there's enough time for me and Sam to go on a shopping spree! EEEE!"
End Confessional
"Your first challenge is a carriage race to Central Park," Chris told the teams, "Which I like to call 'Liberty Or Death'."
"Oh, a horse-drawn carriage!" Dakota gushed. "How sweet and romantic!"
"Don't even think of making ME the horse!" Courtney declared. "Echo."
"Slow down, conclusion jumpers," Chris informed them. "It's a baby carriage race."
"So where are they?" Phoebe wondered. "I don't see them."
"Yeah. Hope you brought your climbing gloves." Everyone groaned as Chris pointed to the Statue of Liberty's crown, which had three baby carriages dangling on the edges. "Oh, how FUN!" Luna giggled. "Your mischievious nature really makes the game!"
"Thank you, Luna," Chris replied. "It's nice to be appreciated."
"I'd be wary of her," Sol warned. "Luna doesn't praise people. Ever."
"Of course I would praise him," Luna argued. "Who else could have the brilliance of making those terrible movies about talking cats?" Most of the teams snickered at this. Chris patted Luna's head before pushing her aside. "Careful with the so-called compliments," Topher told her in a whisper, "You might make the same mistakes I did."
"Okay," Chris nervously continued, "Less chatter, more splatter...err, climbing. More climbing. We'll leave the splatter to fate. Anywho, once you reach Lady Liberty's crown, pull up your rope to bring your team up faster. Once everybody's up, your team grabs the correct carriage off the spike, races back down to your boat and follows the buoys to your next exciting destination: Central Park!"
"Is there gonna be time to go shopping?" Dakota asked.
"Or grab some pizza?" Sol added. "I heard the New York-style crust is epic! And the savory tomato sauce...the gooey cheese...the spicy pepperoni and sausage...a few black olives..."
"And a bit of pineapple," Greg cut in.
"Uh-uh! You don't disgrace a pizza with pineapple!"
"Like you should talk," Gwen muttered.
"Calm down," Chris told Sol. "There won't be time for pizza or shopping."
"NOOO!" Sol screamed as he fell to his knees.
"There's always a next time, I'm sure," Dakota assured him. Soon, Chris blew his whistle to start the challenge. "Whee!" Luna squealed as she started to climb. "I'm a rabid monkey!"
"Ow!" Phoebe cried out as she tried to grab another rope. "What are these things made out of?"
"Steel wool," Chris answered. "Strong and rough, just like the Big Apple."
"Are you sure this is somewhat safe?" Greg wondered. "You don't have any nasty surprises waiting for us, do you?"
"Our intern already tested this stunt out. Wonder where he is, though." The teens looked up to see Lucas tangled up on a rope. "HELP!" he screamed out. "This isn't how I wanna go out!"
"Oh, brother," Echo scoffed as she rolled her eyes. She yanked at the rope, which untangled Lucas and sent him falling. "Quick!" Phoebe shouted as she hopped down. "We have to catch him!" She readied her arms to catch him when Lucas hit a few tree branches. "I don't recall that many trees near the Statue of Liberty," Greg whispered to Sam. Lucas kept falling and soon landed with a split, making the others wince at the sight. "Por que tenian que ser los kiwis?" he moaned.
"What do you know?" Sol chuckled as he walked over. "Karma does exist here." Lucas grabbed Sol's leg, making him fall onto his stomach. "Ow," he groaned.
"I'll go first," Echo volunteered to Team Amazon. "A valuable teammate would make sure it's safe."
"I know exactly how we should climb," Courtney cut in as she held Echo back.
"You're not gonna suggest we belay again, are you?" Gwen wondered. "Cause that worked so well in Egypt."
"But...I...no...never mind."
"I think Echo should go last instead of first," Trent told the others. "She might try one of her tricks while up there."
"Tricks?" Echo feigned. "Me? Trent, surely you jest." Samey just gave a groan and started to climb.
Confessional: Samey (Team Amazon)
"It's times like this that I feel like the only mature one on Team Amazon. Between Japan and now New York City, I almost wish I was on Team Chris instead! Well, almost."
End Confessional
Trent, Gwen, Courtney and Echo soon followed Samey up the rope. "Hurry up!" Echo barked out. "No way am I losing this challenge!"
"It's been twenty-five blister-busting minutes and NOTHING!" Chris shouted from the top of the Statue of Liberty. "You guys are bumming me out!" Topher was inching up when Luna swung over to him. "Why didn't you want me telling Chrissy those nicey things?" she pouted.
"I just don't want you making the same mistakes I did back on the island," Topher replied. "What if Chris thinks you're just trying to upstage him? He might get you kicked off just like I was."
"Hold that thought. I think Solstice is calling me. Bye!" Luna swung away. "What were you and Topher talking about?" Sol asked as Luna kept swinging around on the rope.
"Oh, nothing," Luna giggled.
"Hurry it up, people!" Chris shouted as Topher and Samey reached the top. "I'm officially bored!"
"You..." Topher panted, "Are pure evil!"
"Would you look at that?" Sol whistled as he, Trent and Greg climbed past the Statue of Liberty's chest.
"What are you-?" Trent wondered as he turned his head. He suddenly lost his grip and fell in between the Statue of Liberty's breasts. "Ten-point landing, you lucky guy!" Sol cheered.
"You're not serious," Greg scoffed.
"Hey, men will be men, and men will gawk over a girl's girly parts."
"Men without any sense of dignity."
"Uh, guys?" Trent spoke up. "I'm getting sucked in!" Gwen climbed up to where the guys were. "Your boyfriend's a bit, um, stuck," Greg pointed out to her.
"Hang on, Trent!" Gwen told him. She tried to swing over and grab him with her arms. "Come...on!" she groaned. She managed to grab onto Trent's foot with her teeth and pull him out. "D-d-don't ask," Trent stammered with fright.
Cockpit Confessional: Trent (Team Amazon)
He was wrapping a bandage around his leg. "For a second, I actually thought I was gonna die in there."
"But what a way to go," Chef chuckled.
"No kidding."
End Confessional
"LET'S GO!" Chris shouted to the teams as most of them reached the top. "I'm tired, I'm hungry...and I gotta pee." Echo soon reached the top of the crown with her teammates. "I'll get the carriage!" she ordered as she ran off. "Which is something only a really valuable teammate would do!" She inched towards Team Amazon's pink carriage. "You know something, Chrissy?" Luna asked him as she skipped over. "I have your special cooking show on DVD. 'Keep It Plain With Chris McLean'. Solstice and I love your recipe for white rice. A shame it was cancelled after one episode." Chris had an annoyed look while most of the others laughed at this. Sol, however, had a confused expression. "I was going...through a phase," Chris stammered.
"Got it!" Echo announced as she rolled the carriage over. "Like I said, valuable!"
"Team Amazon takes the lead!"
"How do we get back down?" Courtney wondered.
"Fireman's pole, anyone? It's only a thirty-story drop." Team Amazon looked down the fire hatch. "Um, ladies first?" Trent nervously offered.
"Eh..." Samey stuttered.
"Well, someone's gotta do it," Gwen decided. "Here goes." She slid down the pole and crash at the bottom, making the others nervous. "I'm okay!" she squeaked out. The rest of Team Amazon screamed as they slid down the pole with their carriage.
"Made it!" Phoebe panted as she reached the top.
"I'll get the carriage!" Dakota offered. She swung over with her hands and grabbed Team Victory's yellow carriage with her tail.
Confessional: Dakota (Team Victory)
"My tail is kinda like a monkey's since I can use it to grab stuff with. It's perfect for climbing or carrying extra bags of new clothes."
End Confessional
Team Victory screamed as they slid down the pole with their carriage. "Come on, Sam!" Greg called out as he, Topher and Sol tugged on the rope. "We can't grab the carriage without you!"
"OW!" Sam cried out as his head hit the Statue of Liberty's nose. "Might help if you-OW! Quit pulling me up. OW!" He was soon stuck up a nostril. "Uh, I'm stuck."
"There's the boats!" Courtney exclaimed as she and Team Amazon ran over with their carriage. Courtney started the engine, though Trent was knocked off. "Trent!" Gwen cried out. "Turn around!"
"What?!" Courtney shouted over the boat engine. Meanwhile, Sam had managed to reach the top. "Spike duty's mine!" Luna exclaimed. "Called it!" She hopped over to Team Chris's blue carriage. She rode it down and crashed into the pole, making her slide down. "Let's go!" Topher yelled out as he slid down the pole while Greg could only scream. Sam hopped into the hatch but got stuck. "Uh, a little help?" he asked.
"Fine," Sol shrugged, "But it'll hurt."
"It can't be-GREAT BIG APPLE!" Sol slammed the carriage on Sam's head, making him slide down. "Don't say I didn't warn you," he told him before sliding down with the carriage.
Trent tried to climb onto Team Victory's boat when Team Victory arrived. "Hey!" he cried out as Jo revved the boat up. "Wait!" Sol drove Team Chris's boat past him, covering Trent in water. He noticed a frog croaking on the top of his head. "Lovely," he muttered.
"From first place to last!" Echo complained as Team Amazon's boat went back to Trent. "Nice work, Courtney!"
"What?!" Courtney shouted, unable to hear her.
"Come on, Frog Boy," Gwen told Trent as she and Samey scooped him up into the boat.
"We're in first place!" Phoebe cheered.
"But taking a boat to Central Park makes no sense," Jo reasoned. "It's in the middle of Manhattan!"
"There's the next buoy!" Dakota pointed out. The three of them groaned as they drove through the sewers. Team Chris shared the same thoughts as they followed Team Victory. "The sewer?" Echo gagged. "Sometimes I hate Chris. Okay, all times."
"Who will survive and who's taking a dive?" Chris narrated. "Find out when we return on Total...Drama...World Tour!"
(cue commercial)
Dakota had to plug her nose due to the smell. "I really hope there's a reward at the end of this challenge," she moaned, "Like a long hot shower and plenty of perfume." She and Phoebe froze up when they heard a loud roar. "Do you think that was an alligator?" Phoebe gulped.
"There aren't any alligators in the sewers, you scaredy-cats," Jo told them. "That's just a myth." Unknown to them, a huge alligator rose up from the water. "Anybody else hearing that?" Greg gulped. "It sounds like-" The alligator lunged at their boat but barely missed. "Yay!" Luna squealed as she jumped onto its back. Team Amazon's boat revved over them. Luna grinned like the Cheshire Cat. "Let's do some chomping, Mister Big Teeths!" she squealed. The alligator tried to chomp Team Amazon's boat. Team Victory and Team Chris popped out of the sewers. "We're alive!" Sam cheered.
"Where's Sammy's boat?" Sol gasped. The alligator got stuck in the pipe and spat both Team Amazon and Luna out. "Whoo!" Luna cheered. "Let's do that again!"
"Whoa, nasty!" Chris exclaimed as he wore a gas mask. "That's the kind of stink that never comes out." He turned to Lucas. "Make the gator sign a waiver so we can show it on TV." Lucas grumbled as he dove into the water and swam over to the alligator. "Here," he told it as he held up a clipboard, which the gator signed.
"You're such a brilliant commander," Luna told Chris. "I guess that's why you always stood out in your boy band."
"Whoa, whoa, whoa," Greg cut in, "Chris was in a boy band? Like 5 Seconds of Summer boy band?"
"Moving on!" Chris demanded.
"Back in the eighties, he was," Luna informed him. "Making trouble is easy to do, but making you love me is painful." Chris's eye twitched a bit. "You were in Fame Town?" Gwen and Trent asked him.
Confessional: Jo (Team Victory)
She laughed.

Everyone laughed at Chris, who had an annoyed look. "It's nice how you don't let mockery get to you," Luna continued. "I'll put that in your obituary. Already got a draft along with Solstice's. 'Chris McLean was born in 1978...'"
"THAT IS IT!" Chris snapped. "Zip it! PERMANENTLY!"
"What?" Luna innocently wondered. "But Solstice told me you liked being complimented like that."
"WHAT?!" Sol shouted, completely bewildered. "I didn't-" He noticed Topher giving him a glare.
Confessional: Luna (Team Chris Is Really Really Ghost Pepper Hot)
"Yeah, that was a can of lies. But someone's gotta get Solstice and Tophy to start butting heads. Besides, that game wasn't any FUN anymore."
End Confessional
"Alright," Chris told the teams, "Focus, people! Welcome to the second half of the challenge: Bobbing for Big Apples NYC Style. Here's how it's gonna go down: teams must push their carriages along one of the three paths to Central Park's fabled Turtle Pond. There, one member of each team will bob for some very special apples using only their mouths. No hands. Once they get it to shore, the rest of the team must load it into their carriages and race to the finish line in the heart of Central Park. And what's a baby carriage without a baby?"
"Uh, a shopping cart?" Sam replied.
"It was a rhetorical question. One member of each team must ride in their carriage and stay there all the way to the finish line."
"Greg," Sol, Topher, Sam and Luna quickly decided.
"She'll do it," Jo declared as she shoved Dakota into Team Victory's carriage.
"I guess I'll do it for Team Amazon," Samey spoke up.
"You are as cute as a baby," Sol complimented. Samey pushed him away. "Nice effort, Romeo," Greg told him as he patted his back.
"Victory got here first," Chris continued as he pointed to a map, "So they get the shortest path to the pond. Team Chris Is Really Really Ghost Pepper Hot gets the longest path on the left, and Team Amazon gets the longest path on the right. Oh, and...a little traveling music, please."
"It's always been a dream of mine to dance in New York City!" Courtney gushed.
"We're really doing this music bit every single time?" Sol wondered.
"Fun, huh?" Sam replied as Greg nodded in agreement. Ding-ding! "Now move it!" Chris ordered. "We only have permits to cordon off this section of the park for another hour." Some upbeat music began to play as the teams raced off. "What's not to love about New York City?" Courtney began. "The taxis honk out a New York ditty. The crime is high! The pigeons fly! What's not to love about New York?"
"The lights are brighter," Sam sang, "The fun is funner."
"The bagels are bagel-er and the bums are bummer," Sol added.
"The grease and grime make every alley shine," Topher pitched in.
"What's not to love about New York?" the trio chorused as they danced on some piano keys, though Sam broke them. He was soon scooped up by Dakota, who was dressed like Holly Golightly. "The stores and the fashion," she vocalized as she put some sunglasses on Sam, "Big shows where stars cash in! It's crazy cause the city never sleeps!" A few flowers were tossed at the duo. "Dance break!" Phoebe and Greg announced. Phoebe, Dakota and Sam tried to tap dance together and ended up laughing. Jo shoved Phoebe aside and did a few dance moves, though they weren't good. "For the love of dance, will you STOP?!" Greg demanded, which made Jo toss a shoe at him.
"Subway trains and the hustle-bustle," Team Amazon chorused.
"Cappuccinos while the mobsters tussle," Team Victory added.
"And pretzel stands for us pretzel fans!" Sol sang as he tossed a heart-shaped pretzel into Samey's lap.
"Hot, hot, hot!" Samey cried out.
"What's not to love...?"
"What's not to love...?" Dakota added.
"What's not to love...about New York?" everybody else finished. All the teams reached the turtle pond at the same time. "The other teams are here?" Jo complained. "I thought we had the shortest path!"
"Dakota and Phoebe had to recover from your dancing," Greg informed her.
"Look at the size of those apples!" Phoebe gasped.
"Remember," Chris reminded them, "No hands!"
"You're up," Sol told Topher as he shoved him into the water.
"Hey!" Topher coughed out. "Watch it!"
"I hope this isn't an elimination episode," Luna pointed out to her brother, "Otherwise you're in trouble."
"Luna does make a valid point," Sam admitted. "You might get in the bottom two."
"Then let's not stand around," Sol declared. "Get that apple!" Topher started to swim towards the apples. "Well?" Phoebe asked her teammates.
"You're bobbing, Wonder Wuss," Jo ordered.
"Me? Dakota?"
"I have to stay in the carriage, remember," Dakota pointed out.
"Okay. But if we fall behind, don't blame me." Phoebe readied a life jacket before jumping into the water. "You go, Phoebe!" Dakota cheered.
"My perfect ballet leaps closed the gap," Courtney boasted. "Now someone dive in before we lose the advantage!"
"It has to someone with a good sense of balance," Trent thought. "Sammy could do it, but she has to stay in the carriage."
"Hold on," Gwen cut in as she turned to him, "You could do it. I've seen you turn into a seal. That would help us."
"Well...um..."
"Come on, please?"
"If you insist." Trent dove into the water but did a painful belly flop. "Trent, are you okay?" Gwen asked with concern.
"I've had worse," Trent groaned before sinking into the water.
Confessional: Gwen (Team Amazon)
"Trent is incredible to be around, whether it's his warm eyes, or the way he plays guitar, or his cute smile... But I am a little concerned I'm asking a lot from him. I don't want him thinking I'm taking advantage of him."
End Confessional
"A beautiful day in New York, don't you think?" Sol asked Samey as he inched near her.
"How many times do I have to say it?" Samey groaned. "Leave me alone! We're done! Through! Finito!"
"Sammy, please-"
"Don't 'Sammy, please' me. You burned your own bridge."
"Can't you let me explain?" Samey gave a growl, making Sol back away. "Blech!" Echo gagged as she watched the sight. "Romance!" She noticed Greg asleep in Team Chris's carriage. She quickly swapped it with another similar-colored carriage nearby. "Yeah!" Sam and Luna cheered as Topher nudged one of the apples with his head. Phoebe grabbed another apple with her teeth when a turtle hopped onto her back. "Seriously?!" she cried out.
"It's called Turtle Pond for a reason," Chris told her. More turtles went after Phoebe and started to bite her, making Chris and Chef wince at the sight. Trent, now as a seal, balanced the last apple with his nose. "Go Trent!" Gwen cheered as he carried the apple back.
"Hurry!" Courtney shouted.
"Come on, Weirdo!" Echo ordered.
"We're barely in the lead, Topher!" Sam told him. Topher pushed the apple to Team Chris. As Sol carried the apple, he took a closer look at the carriage. "Hang on..." he thought.
"No time!" Topher interrupted as he pushed him and the apple into the carriage. "To the finish line!" The rest of Team Chris followed him. Phoebe, her clothes all ragged from the turtle bites, dropped her apple into Team Victory's carriage. "Cute pet," Jo mocked as she pointed to the turtle still on Phoebe's pants.
"Easy, Mr. Nibbles," Phoebe coaxed as she pulled the turtle off, "Go back to your home." She gently tossed it into the water, but a larger turtle ate it. "Eep!" Phoebe squeaked as she looked on with horror. "Why?!"
"Because you're cursed, that's why!" Echo taunted.
"She's just trying to mess with your head," Dakota muffled underneath the apple.
"If you don't get moving," Jo told Phoebe as she pushed the carriage forward, "We'll lose again and YOU'll be going home!" However, Phoebe stood frozen in place. Trent changed back and tossed the apple in Team Amazon's carriage. "Hurry!" Echo cried out as Courtney pushed the carriage forward.
"Thanks for helping out," Gwen told Trent as she gave him a hug.
"It wasn't a big deal," Trent replied with a slight blush. "Hey, what's up with her?" He motioned to Phoebe, still frozen in place. "I know how to fix this," Gwen told Trent. She slapped Phoebe's face a few times, snapping her back to reality. "I think I needed that," Phoebe moaned, still dizzy. "Hey, where's Dakota and Jo?"
"Let's catch up with the others," Gwen told Trent as the duo ran off.
"Huh? Oh, the challenge!" Phoebe started to run after her team.
Meanwhile, Chris and Chef were sitting by the fountain in the heart of Central Park. "She's got a sister, you know," Chris informed Chef.
"For real?" Chef replied. "Alright, give her my digits, man."
"Oh, hold on. Here they come." Team Chris arrived first. "First place!" Sam cheered. The group suddenly heard a crying noise. Topher moved Sol and the apple over and was shocked to see a baby. "Ooh, Greg regressed into a baby!" Luna giggled.
"Greg?" Sam gasped. "Speak to us!"
"That's not Greg or our carriage!" Sol snapped as he got to his feet.
"No Greg means no first place," Chris informed them.
"We have to go back for him!" Sam exclaimed.
"I'll go," Sol grumbled as he jogged back with the carriage.
"Okay now," a woman said as she hung up her phone, "Who gets a big kiss?" She gave a cry of surprise as she turned and saw Greg. "Sorry about this, ma'am," Sol apologized as he pulled Team Chris's carriage back and gave the woman her carriage back.
Back at the heart of Central Park, Courtney and Echo arrived with their carriage. "First place!" Gwen and Trent cheered as they arrived a few seconds later. Jo pushed her cart over right before Sol arrived with his cart. "We lost?!" Sol complained.
"Bye-bye, Sunshine!" Echo taunted.
"Where's Phoebe?" Dakota wondered as she lifted the apple up. Phoebe collapsed on the ground after she arrived. "And the winner of the New York challenge is...Team Amazon!" Team Amazon cheered again. "Team Chris, congrats on not coming in last." Sol let out a breath of relief, to Echo's displeasure. "And Team Victory, you're going to face elimination again."
"I know who's being shoved out of a plane this time!" Jo threatened as she glared at Phoebe.
"BUT...you won't have to go through with it because this is really a reward challenge! Psych!"
"I told you, buddy," Dakota assured Phoebe as she gave her a hug. "Our luck is changing!" Later, Team Amazon was sitting in the elimination area. "As the winners of this reward challenge," Chris began, "Team Amazon gets to keep or dunk the prizes contained in the apples. So, have at it, ladies."
"Hey!" Trent voiced out at being left out.
"Sorry. Have at it, ladies...and baby."
"Hey!" Trent and Samey complained. Chris tossed a mallet at Samey, which she caught. She walked over to one of the apples and hit it with the mallet, making many sweets fall out. "Look at all this!" Samey gushed as she grabbed a bag. "So many cakes and candy!" She scooped handful after handful into her bag. "Hey!" Courtney told her. "Save some for the rest of us!"
"Sure, sure," Samey assured her. "I will. So many goodies..." Trent walked over to the next apple and hit it with the mallet, revealing fresh fruit. "Nice!" he exclaimed. He passed a peach to Gwen. "Aw, thanks," she told him as she took the fruit.
"I think I'll pass on the barfaroni with cheese," Echo gagged as she walked over to the last apple. "And I deserve to open the last apple, all things considered."
"The carriage swap did help us win," Gwen pointed out.
"But we wouldn't have lost either way," Courtney argued, "So don't get all big-headed." Echo took out her hair clip and sliced the apple opened. "What the-?" she wondered in disbelief. "A meat grinder? This must be the booby prize. Forget it!" She walked over to the door. "Maybe we should keep it..." Courtney stammered, "Just in case." Echo ignored her and tossed the meat grinder out. "That really is satisfying," Echo sighed.
"Will Echo ever manage to earn the respect of her teammates?" Chris narrated.
"I'm right here!"
"Find out next time on Total...Drama...World Tour!"
Bonus clip:
In first class, Echo was busy watching a horror movie while Samey munched on some cupcakes. "Here he comes..." Echo gasped as her eyes were glued to the screen. "They solved the puzzle box..." She gave a little squeal of delight. "And here's Pinhead and his Cenobites!"
"You are a sick little girl," Samey muffled between bites.
"What's with the excitement?" Lucas asked as he brushed the floor near them with a broom.
"Echo's enjoying her movie a little too much," Courtney explained as she, Trent and Gwen munched on their fruit.
"I may be a fan of horror movies like Hellraiser," Gwen put in, "But I doubt even I'd be that excited."
"It's a bit suspicious," Trent added.
"Please," Echo scoffed. "Meeting a Cenobite would be a dream come true!"
"More like a nightmare," Lucas muttered as he walked over to a little closet. "Can you imagine seeing one of those-?" He opened the closet door and froze with fear as he saw a figure resembling Pinhead waving at him and giving him an eerie smile. Lucas quickly slammed the door shut before fainting. "Dude, you okay?" Trent wondered as he and Gwen went over to him. Gwen opened the closet door but only saw a mop and a bucket inside. She gave a shrug of confusion as Trent looked at her.
Another episode out just in time for the new year to come! So, this is a reward episode like canon, with a few tweaks. Instead of Team Chris losing, it was Team Victory yet again. Maybe their luck might pick up?
Topher now sees Jo as a threat, Echo keeps trying her tricks, Sol tries and fails to get closer to Samey, and Luna's...Luna. How might everything play out? Wait and see.
And what did you think of that bonus clip?
Next episode will be the first of the Aftermaths, where we'll check up on the eliminated cast and those that didn't qualify. Until next time, this is Dunsparce519 saying buon divertimento e buon anno nuovo! (Italian for enjoy and happy New Year! I looked it up, and New York City has the largest population of Italian Americans in North America. Learn something new every day.)
