Chris: Last time on Total Drama Action - The challenge was a mock trial, where both teams had to prove that the other one was more dysfunctional. Wayne, Millie and Axel were picked as representatives of Angry Directors, while MK, Nichelle and Bowie were picked by Tired Screenwriters.
The camera shows footage of the aforementioned contestants, taking their places as attorneys or prosecutors.
Chris: Everyone else took on the role of a witness and had to testify before the court and if they refused to answer any questions or worse - lied, a shocking surprise was awaiting them!
Footage of Raj and then Julia getting electrocuted was played next.
Chris: This caused some interesting secrets to be revealed as just a few minutes before the challenge Raj learned of the real reason why Chase acted "selflessly" in the last season and when the truth got revealed, Emma got to her senses and broke up with him, which resulted in her, Chase and then Caleb to leave the courtroom.
Next footage played is Raj telling Chase's secret, followed by Emma yelling at her ex-boyfriend and ending with the footage of her, Chase and Caleb leaving the court.
Chris: Despite this, MK's amazing final statement was enough to gain a 2nd victory in a row for Tired Screenwriters! Before the elimination ceremony a lot of scattering happened in the blue team, which resulted in Millie being the 2nd person eliminated!
The footage of Tired Screenwriters celebrating their win is played then Axel and Damien having a fall out and the montage is ended with the scene of everyone getting a golden Chris with the exception of Millie.
Chris: The fault for this elimination fell on Zee who admitted that he voted with his eyes closed, but in reality it was Wayne who betrayed Damien and Millie, by siding with the mean girls! Are we going to electroshock the truth out of him? Who is going to share Millie's fate and will be the 3rd person to walk the Red Carpet of Shame? Find out in today's episode of Total. Drama. ACTION!
…
Intro begins with the camera flying through the filming lot. It stops at a beach set, where shirtless Caleb is sunbathing. He gets a jealous look from Bowie who's making out with Raj, the hockey bro being too focused on his boyfriend to even pay attention to Caleb. The camera moves again to a set that looks like a very dark and creepy forest. Emma and Chase are sitting on a bench kissing, while a bush behind them starts moving. Suddenly a masked character with a chainsaw jumps out of it scaring the couple and causing Chase to push Emma, while he himself runs away. The masked character starts to giggle and takes off the mask revealing herself to be Lauren. The camera moves a bit to the side as Chase passes by Millie, Priya and Damien. Millie is holding her notebook and looks like she's about to write something there, but stops herself and puts it back. Meanwhile Priya and Damien are talking about something with Priya blushing. The nice conversation between the two stops when they see Millie running from something and they immediately start running after her, as Lauren starts chasing them with a chainsaw. When they disappear out of sight, Axel reveals herself, camouflaged to be almost completely unidentifiable from the trees. The camera moves again to the cafeteria where Nichelle vents about something to Zee and Ripper. While Zee seems to be amused, Ripper is visibly bored, so he farts to entertain himself. Nichelle immediately starts gagging and runs past MK who holds something in her hand, but hides it in her jacket as soon as she notices the actress. At last the camera shows the big theater where Chris and Chef are standing, both wearing matching, fancy suits. Then it pans to the audience, where Wayne and Julia, both wearing formal outfits, are sitting next to each other. The Hockey Bro is smiling at the girl, who's too busy using her phone, but after a few seconds she notices him smiling… Just to go back to her phone, causing Wayne's smile to disappear. The camera then shows the whole shot of the audience, showing that all of the contestants are there, wearing fancy suits or gowns. The intro ends with showing the logo of the season that is nearly identical to the original Total Drama Action.
…
While the elimination ceremony was happening, Nichelle, Emma and Priya were having a sleepover party at their cabin in an effort to help Emma get over her breakup.
Nichelle: Girl trust me, you got over him once, you can do it again!
Emma: No, no I didn't. After we broke up I was obsessed with hating him. It was basically my whole personality during the previous season. Was there even a confessional where I didn't mention Chase?
Priya and Nichelle exchanged looks and smiled awkwardly.
Priya: There definitely was!
Nichelle: Yeah, for sure!
Emma(confessional): It's really nice that Priya and Nichelle are trying to cheer me up, but I don't think it's working out. I… I miss Bowie. Whenever I felt down, he always knew what to say to make me feel better.
Suddenly, the girls turned their attention towards the entrance to the cabin, where MK walked in. The short girl was just as surprised seeing the three, as they were seeing her.
MK: Oh. You 3 are… Not sleeping?
Nichelle: Yeah, I told you about the sleepover! Where the heck were you?
MK: Ohhh, right the sleepover. I forgot about that.
MK just shrugged and walked over to her bed, leaving other girls suspicious.
MK(confessional): Dang it! I was searching for that stupid idol, but I couldn't find it anywhere. I was expecting them to be sleeping by now!
Nichelle: …Anyway, what were we talking about?
Before the trio could continue, the doors to the cabin opened once more, this time it was Julia, Lauren and Axel. The sight of only those 3 walking in, worried Priya.
Priya: Is… Millie in the bathroom changing into her pajamas?
Julia: No. She's out.
The blonde girl said nonchalantly, while getting into her bed. At first Priya just looked confused, but it quickly turned into anger.
Priya: Wh-What?! She-She didn't do anything wrong!
Julia just shrugged and turned her back on the girl, causing Priya to get even more upset. Nichelle stepped in and tried to comfort her teammate.
Nichelle: I know you're sad and angry, but you gotta let it go. It's a game, you and Millie will have a lot of time after the show to hang out.
Priya took a deep breath and nodded agreeing with the actress.
Priya(confessional): I can't believe that they got rid of Millie before Scary Girl or Julia! And how did it even happen?! She had an alliance with Axel, Damien and Wayne!
Axel(confessional): After Damien decided to ruin our majority alliance I had to turn to Julia. I wanted to get rid of Damien, but apparently Scary Girl was voting for Millie and my best shot at surviving was to also do it. Millie was doing a good job this season, but I'm fine with anyone going home as long as it's not me.
Meanwhile, Scary Girl was looking fascinated at the nail polish and make-up that the Screenwriter girls wanted to use for their sleepover.
Lauren: So pretty!
Emma: Uh, yeah, those are Nichelle's. We planned on doing a sleepover, but… - She looked at Priya who was still looking upset, Julia who was on her phone and then at MK and Axel who were trying to sleep - …I don't think it's going to work out.
Lauren wasn't listening, as she was too busy ramagin through the beauty products until she noticed a punk/emo themed eyeshadow color palette. She grabbed it and approached Nichelle.
Lauren: Would you mind if I borrowed this?
Nichelle: Um, I don't know. It was from a special collection that is no longer sold… - She looked Scary Girl in the eyes and immediately got intimidated by her soul-sucking gaze, causing the terrified actress to back down - …Actually. You can take it.
The excited goth girl clapped, happy with her new make-up palette .
Lauren(confessional): I love make-up! It's the only thing I might enjoy more than screams of agony and pain… Actually no, but it's still a close 2nd!
Nichelle was packing the rest of her make-up into her bag, with Emma helping her, when suddenly a high pitch noise was heard signaling an announcement.
Julia: Ugh, we just got back from the ceremony, what does he want?
Chris: Attention actors! Everyone, get dressed, we're going on a little trip!
The girls sighed in annoyance, while Chris could be heard laughing, happy that he ruined another thing for the contestants.
…
The 14 contestants were all sitting in a bus. All they could see were trees and the sun that had already risen. While a few of them are still sleeping, most have already woken up or haven't slept at all.
Julia: How long is it going to take? The sun is up already and I barely got any sleep, because Chase can't shut up even in his sleep!
She looked annoyed at Chase behind her, who was resting on Zee's shoulder.
Chase: No Emma. You're the 4th most important thing to me after pizza, money and fame.
Chris just laughed at the boy.
Chris: I will never understand how this dude even got a girlfriend in the first place. - He gave his attention back to Julia - To answer your question - we will be there pretty soon!
Julia: Can we at least know where we're going? - Chrish shakes his head, making Julia even more annoyed - Ugh! …Hey Priya, Nichelle, you 2 are superfans, do either of you have any idea where Chris might be taking us?
Priya: Wait, I thought you watched the show?
Julia: Only the episodes with Heather and Alejandro. - Priya looked at the blonde girl confused, causing Julia to roll her eyes - What's the point of watching if my crush wasn't in the competition?
The camera panned to Wayne, who was sitting in the back. The boy looked worried when he heard what the mean girl said, and started tapping Raj with his elbow, waking up his best friend.
Raj: Huh?
Wayne: Have you heard what Julia said? Was she talking about Heather or Alejandro?
Raj: Ummm… Bowie! - He turned towards his boyfriend who was sitting across them - Heather was the bald, mean girl? - Bowie nodded and Raj showed him thumbs up, before turning back to Wayne - So I guess Julia was talking about her, because she was longer on the show. Why ask?
Wayne: Oh, no reason.
Raj shrugged and went back to sleep, while the blonde boy looked down at the floor, visibly sad. Meanwhile Priya and Julia were still talking to each other.
Priya: Uhhh, I think, I might have an idea of where we're going.
Julia: Great! Please, share it with the class.
Priya: Welllll, the island used in the 1st season, during the competition, wasn't actually an island. The original competition actually took place on a set in the middle of the forest, because the show didn't have budget to film on the actual Wawanakwa Island that was used from season 4 onwards. In the original Total Drama Action, one of the challenges took place on that set, so I think that's where Chris is taking out.
Both of the girls looked at Chris for confirmation. The host just looked very annoyed as he nodded.
Chris: Thank you, captain killjoy for ruining the fun, especially since if you waited for one more minute, you wouldn't even have to.
As he says that, the bus stops and the doors open.
Chris: Now get off the bus and don't forget to wake up the sleeping princesses.
He points at Zee, Chase, Raj and Emma, after which, he gets off of the bus.
…
13 teenagers were standing before the wooden stage used in the 5th episode of the original Total Drama Island, this time updated with new, dark-purple curtains instead of the old salmon ones. Another thing that changed is that between the 2 audience benches, there's a judging table with 2 seats.
Priya: OH! Is today's theme a talent show?
Caleb: That would make sense, they have become very popular in recent years.
Chris just looked at them with disgust and shook his head.
Chris: Absolutely not! Not after Dakota Milton replaced me as the judge on "I can hear your face". Ugh, a wrestling star judging a talent show? What a joke… But, anyway, Chef pressured us into making this theme, so how about he's the one to announce it?
He looked at Chef who was closing the doors to the bus. The war vet immediately lightened up after hearing his name called out,
Chef: Actually, I would love to!
The man ran to where Chris stood, pushing the smaller man to the ground.
Chef: Today's theme of the challenge is… LGBT+ movies and shows!
The contestants exchanged confused looks, while Chris stood up from the ground and began brushing off his clothes from dirt and dust.
Chris: Yes, that was my reaction too, but Chef proved that there's in fact enough movies and tv series focusing on LGBT+ community to justify it as a theme. Most of them are romances or movies focusing on the struggles of this community, however neither would make for an interesting challenge, so we're going to base this challenge on a very important part of LGBT community - Drag. - Some of the contestants looked at the host with confusion, others with excitement - Behind the stage, there's one more place that some of you may recognize - A pool with a diving board. Once filled with green jelly, today it's filled with clothes and fabric. Just like the last time, you will have to divide roles between each other - 2 members of each team will be the models, 1 girl, 1 boy to show that… - Chris takes out a few notes from his pocket and starts reading it - …Everyone can do drag… Another member will be responsible for make-up and another one for making adjustments to the clothes, while everyone else will be diving into the pool and trying to gather as much clothes as possible while they're there.
Julia: Wait, hold on, they have an unfair advantage in numbers. 2 people from us will be diving, while 4 from there.
Chris: You're right, but that's only, because your team is terrible… Buuut since Priya annoyed me… Screenwriters pick 2 people that will sit this challenge.
Priya's teammates side eye the girl as she smiles awkwardly.
Priya(confessional): I didn't know that we were actually going here! It was just a wild guess! I shouldn't be punished for being good at guessing!
…
Blue team had their team meeting on the audience benches. All of them looked bored, while Axel stood in front of them talking.
Axel: Me and Wayne are jumping, Scary Girl and Zee will be the models, Damien, Julia you two decide who does make-up and who deals with clothes.
Damien: Yeah, sure, but one thing - who chose YOU as the leader?
Axel: Obviously, I'm self-elected, cause none of you would choose me as one.
Damien just stared in confusion at the cadet.
Damien(confessional): It's amazing when someone is so close to being self-aware, but they just barely miss the mark.
The boy stood up and turned towards his teammates.
Damien: Let's be honest - every time Axel is in charge, her team loses, so I'd say that we let Julia or Wayne be the leader.
The survivalist expert got into his face, but this time he didn't get intimidated this easily.
Axel: I'm a fantastic team leader! - She turned towards the rest of the Directors - Right, guys?!
Lauren: No.
Julia: Not at all.
Wayne: I think you can get a bit too harsh and cocky.
For a few seconds the girl was fuming, but after a deep breath she sat down at the bench next to Lauren.
Axel(confessional): Apparently no one wants me as the leader, because I can be too "harsh". The only reason I'm harsh is because all of them are doing everything wrong!
With Axel losing the election, the blonde duo exchanged looks.
Julia: You wanna-
Wayne: Nah, I think I'm out of my depth for this challenge. Go for it!
Julia shrugged and faced her teammates, taking a longer look at them. Lauren was staring creepily at Damien, who himself was too busy smirking at Axel after successfully causing her to get replaced as the leader. The brunette just looked mad, meanwhile the hockey bro just smiled clueless at how messy this team was. Julia sighed at this sight knowing that it's going to be a hard challenge.
Julia(confessional): My team sucks. You know, I know it, there's no need in hiding it, but it's not the end of the world. The first time we lose, we're going to eliminate Zee. We lose again, Scary Psycho won't let me vote off Damien, so she will be the one to go, then he goes. We lose again? Me and Wayne will vote off Axel and if we somehow manage to be as pathetic as Team Victory from the World Tour, me and Wayne will go to a tiebreaker, which I will easily win. This is the worst case scenario, but I feel confident that I can easily make the merge and then I will just continue to win immunities and make it to the finale.
Julia: …Okay, I will make adjustments to the clothes.
Axel: You can sew?
Julia: "You can sew?" Obviously! - She mocked her teammate - When half of your audience are anti-capitalist vegans, you have no choice, but to thrift in order to not piss them off.
Damien: Wait, that was only half of your audience? What was the other half?
Julia: Simps and losers. - She said it nonchalantly as if it was obvious and normal - Anyway, who will be doing make-up?
As soon as make-up was mentioned, Lauren jumped out of her seat, raised her hand and started jumping, causing others to look concerned.
Lauren: Me! Me!
Damien: Ummm, are we sure it's a good idea?
Scary Girl's head turned 180 degrees as she stared at the boy, causing him to scream in terror.
Lauren: It is.
Julia: Okay! Scary Girl does make-up, just… Never do that thing again. - The goth girl started to clap from excitement as Julia turned her attention to Axel - …This leaves you as one of the models.
Axel: What?! - The girl stood up angry at this news - I'm not a doll you can play dress up games with! Can't one of the boys deal with the clothes, so you will be the model?
Both Damien and Wayne shook their heads. Meanwhile, Lauren out of nowhere put her hand around Axel and just chuckled.
Lauren: Relax! We will make you into a drag king and put you in something masculine.
The other 4 looked at her, surprised. Axel blinked in confusion, but after a moment she nodded.
Axel: Yeah, that will work.
Julia: Wow, I'm surprised you knew about that.
Lauren: What, drag kings? My grandmother used to be one! She's the one who taught me everything I know about make-up. Trust me guys, you will be in good hands!
Damien(confessional): I would never expect Scary Girl to be passionate about something other than sounds of crying children, but I guess the world is full of surprises.
Julia: Okay then, with that decided, which one of you will be the second model?
Wayne immediately raised his hand.
Wayne: Bowie took Raj into a drag show and Raj took me. It looks really fun, so if Damien and Zee are fine with it, then I will do it.
Damien: Yeah, I'm fine with diving into the pool.
The blonde boy smiled.
Wayne(confessional): I lied. Raj didn't take me to that drag show, Bowie really wanted it to be only them two. I just said that, so I could get a chance to be one on one with Julia to talk about… stuff.
Julia: Huh, guess we're done then. - The girl looked around smiling, but suddenly it turned into a look of panic - Wait, where is Zee?!
The other 4 also started to look around, but the soda guy was nowhere to be found.
…
Back on the bus, the 6th member of Angry Directors has finally woken up.
Zee: Duuude, I had such a weird dream. I was on some weird reality show, competing in dangerous challenges to win some grand prize. It was named like Small Sister or something like that.
He looked around and after a moment, realization set in.
Zee: Uhhh, where is everyone? - He ran to the doors, but couldn't open them. After a few attempts he turned to the camera, terrified - The doors are locked! Miss Camerawoman do you know what that means?! The world has ended and we're the only people left on earth!
The boy curled up into a ball and started crying.
Zee: All of my friends are dead! And soon we're going to join them!
While he was having a mental breakdown, the camera panned to the window, where you could clearly see the Tired Screenwriters having a team meeting right next to the pool of clothes.
…
Priya: I'm telling you, something is there!
Caleb: I don't know, Priya. I mean what could be hiding under a pile of clothes? Sharks? Lions? Bombs?
Bowie: I mean, there was a time where challenges on Total Drama weren't dangerous. Maybe the show is just going back to its roots?
Emma stepped between her team and the pool.
Emma: It doesn't matter! 2 of us will be jumping into that pool either way, so what's the point of arguing if something is there or not. I'd say we just let the Directors go first, if Priya is right and something is there, we will know what to expect. If it's safe, we won't lose much.
The team nodded agreeing with her idea.
Emma: Okay, so - The ex-streamer pointed at Nichelle - Nich, congrats, it's your chance to prove yourself! You will do the make-up!
The actress looked to the side, embarrassed, causing the blonde girl to stare in shock.
Emma: You can't do make-up?!
Nichelle: I mean, it's not like I can't… I can do the basics like light eyeshadow or lips…
The shorter girl sighed, defeated, but luckily for her and the rest of Screenwriters, Bowie stepped in.
Bowie: It's fine, I can do it. Years of watching beauty influencers will finally pay off.
Caleb: In that case, I can deal with sewing.
Bowie: You can sew?
The muscular boy nodded.
Caleb(confessional): I'm a pretty big guy and there's not a lot of clothing that fit me, so I'm pretty decent at adjusting sizes. It's not much, but it's something.
Suddenly Nichelle gasped in excitement.
Nichelle: Oh, I know! I will be our model! I'm used to walking down the runway and I'm naturally gorgeous, so with no offense, but I'm the best choice.
Emma: Alright, that's something I can agree with. Raj, Chase, which one of you will be the model?
Chase took a step back.
Chase: Raj, I would say I'm sorry… But I'm not. Looks like you will be the one wearing the dress!
A few of his teammates rolled their eyes, but Raj just shrugged.
Raj: Uh, drag is not just about wearing dresses… But It's alright, I'm fine with being a model.
Chase looked with utter confusion at the hockey bro.
Chase(confessional): At first I was surprised that Raj didn't mind being our model, but… Yeah, it does make sense.
Emma: Okay, so with this sorted out, would you mind if I sat out this challenge? I'm on my period, so…
Priya: Oh yeah sure! We don't mind, right MK?
MK: Yeah, of course, but I also want to sit-
Chase: Wait, I gotta sit out! - All of Chase's team turned their attention towards the boy - I… I… - For a moment, he was thinking of something to come up with as an excuse to sit out and when he finally got it, he laid on the ground and started holding his leg while screaming in "pain" - Cramps! Cramps!
The Screenwriters looked at him with sheer annoyance.
Bowie: Right. So MK, you were saying-
MK: Actually, let Chase sit it out. He's obviously in so much pain!
Bowie looked at her in confusion, but just shrugged. Chase smiled seeing that his plan worked.
MK(confessional): I don't like heights, but if I let Chase sit out, it will basically guarantee his elimination if we lose even, no matter how badly I will do in this challenge.
Right as they decided their roles, Chris and the Directors came over.
Chris: I hope you guys are ready, cause the time for deciding the roles is up! Now let's-
Julia: Wait! Zee disappeared somewhere. We only have one jumper, can't the other team sit out 1 more person?
The host pretended to be thinking about it for a second.
Chris: Mhmmm… No! I already made it fairer by punishing them for your team losing 2 challenges in a row. It's your fault that one of you got lost.
Julia rolled her eyes. Meanwhile, Chris threw safety helmets to Priya, MK and Damien.
Chris: Who's going first?
MK: Since the Directors are handicapped… Damien can be the first one to jump.
Damien: Really? I mean, alright, sure!
The boy walked past the 2 girls and started climbing the ladder. When he finally got there he stared down below him at the pool full of different fabrics and clothes.
Damien: Here goes nothing…
Damien jumped and safely landed in the pools, with the clothes making the landing quite soft and nice. He immediately started grabbing everything around him.
Damien: This is too easy!
The camera panned MK staring angrily at Priya who just looked embarrassed for her mess-up. Before the kleptomaniac could say anything, they turned their attention towards Damien who suddenly screamed in fear.
Damien: Something just touched my leg!
Julia: Ugh, it's probably just clothes! Stop being such a crybaby!
Damien: No, no! There's something in here!
He looked around and for a moment it appeared as if the boy just got a bit too paranoid. Everything seemed alright… Until a tentacle emerged from the pile of clothes and grabbed Damien by his leg. The boy was being thrashed around as he and everyone else screamed in terror… Except for Lauren, who seemed very amused by the situation.
Caleb: What is THAT?!
Chris: We named it Karen. We found her near the beach of Wawanakwa, it's probably a squid that mutated somewhere around season 4.
Damien was still being thrashed around by Karen, when suddenly he was thrown out of the pool, the only thing he took with himself being a white t-shirt.
Julia: You know, the more clothes you grab, the less times you will have to do this.
The science nerd just grumbled in pain. Meanwhile, MK was already standing at the top of the diving board and looked in terror at the sight below her.
MK(confessional): I'm starting to regret not sitting out this challenge.
MK: Alright Mary Kate, you've got this.
The girl whispered to herself, closed her eyes and jumped off. The contestants at the ground watched as the girl screamed as she just barely missed the pool and landed on the cold, hard ground instead. Nichelle and Caleb immediately run up to her.
Nichelle: Are you alright?!
MK: ... No.
The two looked at Chris, expecting some kind of response from him, but the man just shrugged.
Chris: Let her rest for like 5 minutes, she will be fine. Now, Priya, it's your turn!
The girl first looked at Damien, who was being held by Wayne, cause otherwise he would fall over, then she looked at MK who was still laying on the ground. She gulped, afraid of what's going to happen to her,
…
Other than Zee, Emma and Chase were the only contestants that weren't watching how Damien, MK and Priya are getting tortured. The ex-couple was sitting "together" on the audience bench. Together as in, Emma was sitting on one end of it, while Chase was sitting at the other end. The atmosphere was tense, with an awkward silence between the two, until Chase cleared his throat.
Chase: Soooo, since we're alone here, maybe we can talk about our relationship?
Emma: I thought you had cramps?
Chase: Oh! Yeah… I made it up, so I could be alone with you.
Emma: You don't say.
The girl said sarcastically and turned her gaze away from Chase. The boy, noticing that he lost her attention, moved closer to the girl.
Chase: Mind if I sit next to you?
Emma: It's a free country.
Her response, caused the boy to immediately lighten up, believing that he might have a chance.
Chase: Okay, babe-
Emma: Don't. Call me that.
Chase: …Emma, I know that right now you're mad at me, cause lately I wasn't the best boyfriend-
Emma: "Lately".
She grumbled to herself, but Chase didn't stop talking.
Chase: Think about all the good times! Like when you had to study, but instead you snuck out with me to watch fireworks for the New Years Eve! Or when you were stressed out about placing 2nd in that tennis competition, so we stayed up all night and watched movies! Don't you miss those times?
Emma looked down and took a moment to gather her thoughts.
Emma: …I do. I have to admit that thanks to you, I learned that sometimes I have to put my own happiness before others.
Chase: Then why don't you want to be with me?!
Emma: Because you always put your own happiness before EVERYTHING and EVERYONE else! We snuck out on that New Year's Eve, because your friends pranked you and your ticket to the party at Times Square was fake, so you had nothing better to do! And when I lost that competition, you only invited me, because you thought your parents wouldn't be at home! And you didn't stay up all night, we watched one movie and you went asleep halfway through it! - As she was talking, she grew more and more angry with the boy, causing him to slowly back away. By the time she was done, the bench ended and Chase accidentally fell off it. After that she took a deep breath and calmed herself - Do you know my favorite singer?
Chase: Ummm… Katie Perry?
Emma: Wrong! It's Taylor Smith! And to quote her: We are NEVER. EVER. getting back together!
With that Emma stormed off, although she herself probably didn't know where she was going. She walked past Chef, who was sitting at the judges' table, watching the ex-couple fight. He seemed impressed with the girl and as soon as she walked away, he looked at the camera as if it was a confessional.
Chef: Honestly, I thought she would forgive him by now, so color me surprised.
Meanwhile, Chase stood up from the ground, and shook off the dust from himself, looking sad that he failed.
Chase(confessional): Dang it! The question about her favorite singer was a test! If I got it right, she would see how much I know about her and would probably forgive me! Ugh, I'm so stupid! Nobody listens to Katie Perry anymore!
Suddenly he heard a scream and looked up, when Priya came flying right at the bench, completely shattering it.
Priya: …Ouch.
Chase: Wow, Priya you could seriously harm me or Emma if we were sitting there! Next time, watch out where you're falling!
As he looked annoyed at her, the girl fainted from the pain.
…
Back at the bus, Zee barricaded the doors with the luggage left by the other contestants. His hair was a mess, he was completely covered in dust and dirt and one of his shoes had a giant hole in it. The boy was still panicking about the "end of the world".
Zee: This is the end man! - He clutched his stomach as it started to grumble - I'm going to die of hunger! This is not a nice way to go out, dude!
He looked around searching for something to eat, when he looked at his fake leg.
Zee(confessional): I was thinking that magnets are good for your health. What are magnets made out of? Steel! What is a prosthetic made out of? You guessed it - also steel, therefore it's full of magnets, which is good for health!
The boy started to chomp down on his prosthetic when he suddenly had a gag reflex.
Zee: Magnets may be healthy, but they definitely are not tasty! But I will do whatever it takes to survive this! - He looked at the camera and pointed the leg at it - Since we're stuck here, do you want a bite?
The camera moved right and left, which the boy correctly understood as a no.
…
Back to the other contestants, Damien was just thrown by the tentacle right under the legs of his teammates. In his hands was a blue dress, with a big skirt and puffy sleeves and a pair of brown pants.
Julia: Damien, the next time you dive, try taking more things with you. Alright? Great!
Damien: Is this not enough for 2 outfits?
Julia: Yeah, but it's just a dress for one and basic tee, and pants for the other one. That's pretty bas-
Lauren: 50's! - Scary Girl said excitedly, confusing the rest of her teammates - The dress has a typical 1950's housewife silhouette and with some adjustments to the t-shirt, we can make Axel into a greaser. We just need some accessories, make-up and good wigs.
Julia looked impressed.
Julia: That's… Not a terrible idea. It's also going to make them look cohesive and we could gain some extra points for that. Alright then. Scary Girl, you take Axel into the make-up chair and I will do the fitting of Wayne's outfit.
Lauren happily grabbed Axel and the two ran towards the backstage, where there were 2 sections - one was for make-up with chairs, mirrors and a table with some cosmetics. The other section was for the fittings, there were 2 small changing rooms, a big table and racks with wigs, underneath which were the shoes. Nex to the rack, there was just a bit of extra material in very limited colors.
Wayne and Julia quickly followed the girls, leaving Damien alone.
Damien: …I'm just… I'm just going to sit on the bench… And cry from pain where no one can see.
The boy slowly started to walk away from the pool. The disappearance of Angry Directors was noticed by Bowie.
Bowie: What?! They're starting the dress up part? - He turned towards Raj and Nichelle - What do we have? Anything wearable?
Nichelle and Raj assessed the little pile of clothes MK and Priya gathered for them. Mostly just some ugly fabrics, but the girl noticed a plain, but pretty white dress, while the boy grabbed a black tuxedo top and a red tie.
Bowie: …Okay, I think I got it. Angel and Devil. Sounds good?
His teammates nodded, except for Caleb.
Caleb: I think that the devil is missing pants.
The four screenwriters looked at their divers who were exhausted and in pain. Noticing their looks MK sighed and climbed the ladder. Despite the fear, she quickly jumped and landed safely in the pool. She looked around and noticed a pair of formal, black pants, but before she could celebrate, she noticed the shadow of a tentacle slowly creeping behind her. The girl started to "swim" through the clothes as the tentacle got closer and closer, but she barely managed to grab the pants, as the monster grabbed the girl and hoisted her up, before quickly throwing her away right above her teammates' heads. Bowie ran up to the kleptomaniac, grabbed the pants and left her, laying on the ground in a lot of pain.
Bowie: Great, I think we can start!
The flamboyant, his boyfriend, Nichelle and Caleb all ran towards the backstage, leaving Priya and MK alone to their own devices.
MK(confessional): Not one "thank you MK for going through so much pain and for beating your fear of heights, so we could have a chance at winning this challenge" was said to me. None. 0!
…
At the backstage, Julia was sitting on her phone, waiting for something. After a moment, Wayne poked out his head out of the changing room.
Wayne: Hey Julia, the dress is a little too big.
Julia: Yeah, I told you. That's why I have to make adjustments to it. Come out, I will fix it.
The boy looked hesitant, but after a moment, he walked out of the fitting room. The dress was just hanging on him, the big skirt, falling a few inches below the waist, and giving him a shape of a square.
Julia: Okay, it's not bad actually. I can either cut some fabric in the middle and then sew the top and bottom together, or we can tie some of the materials given by Chris and use it as a kind of a belt, to keep it from falling down.
Wayne: Uhhh, what's a better option?
Julia: If I mess up with cutting it, we might as well get a new dress. The "belt" might look slightly less aesthetically pleasing, but it's a safe option.
The boy nodded and Julia grabbed a dark blue fabric, scissors and a measuring tape. She cut some of the fabric and walked to the boy to measure his waist, causing him to blush a little.
Wayne: Hey, Julia.
Julia: What?
Wayne: Um, I was just thinking… You mentioned something about how either Alejandro or Heather from the original cast was your crush, but which one.
The girl looked at him confused, but she continued doing her task, with tying the fabric around his waist.
Julia: …Both of them. Why are you asking that?
The blonde boy smiled a little bit.
Wayne: Oh, nothing really! Just wanted to say that… Umm… You have good taste… In both man and woman.
Julia: Uh… Thanks I guess. Alejadro was just charming and hot, but with Heather, I guess I just found her attractive in a relatable way. Like, a lot of things she said and did were just something I could- - The girl stopped talking halfway through the sentence, surprising herself with her honesty - Wait, why am I telling you this? Oh whatever, forget it. We're done anyways.
She stepped away, the blue fabric matched the dress pretty well and thanks to an addition of a bow at the back of it, it made the outfit more interesting and drag-y. The extra fabric was still visible with the folds above the "belt", but it was still a massive improvement.
Wayne looked at himself in the mirror and smiled.
Wayne: Hey! I look pretty good in a dress!
Chase: Yeah, you look sooo hot and manly in it!
Chase, who suddenly appeared, laughed at the hockey bro, causing Wayne to get flustered, which annoyed Julia.
Julia: What happened to your cramps? I thought it was the only reason why right now you're not wearing a party city cosplay of a devil.
The girl pointed at the Screenwriters' station, where Raj was standing, wearing his tuxedo jacket and black pants. Chase just snorted.
Chase: Whatever.
The streamer walked away, leaving the two blondes alone. Wayne smiled at Julia who just rolled her eyes.
Julia: For the record, I wasn't defending you, I just really dislike Chase.
Wayne: Still, it was nice of you. Thanks Jules.
Wayne(confessional): I wanted to… um, befriend Julia just to annoy Bowie and cause Raj to get jealous, but, I'm starting to think that she's really not that bad.
The boy walked away, heading towards the make-up section, while Scary Girl approached Julia with a huge grin on her face.
Julia: Why are you so happy?
Lauren: You and Wayne! Yooou like each otheeer!
At first Julia blushed a bit, but after that her expression turned into anger.
Julia: What?! Uh, no! Wayne is just so easy to read, it's obvious he just wants to use me to make Bowie mad, because he's jealous that Raj is spending less time with him. That's why I am going to use him. Where's Wayne, there's Raj and where's Raj, there's Bowie. I'm going to guarantee myself that Bowie won't target me at merge, while also having 3 extra votes. It's called strategy.
Scary Girl chuckled.
Lauren: Yeah, yeah! After the show ends, you and wayne, and me and Damien have to go for a double date!
Julia: 1st of all, Damien is dating Priya…
Lauren: Who says he will have a choice?
Julia just stared in confusion, between finally gathering herself and finishing her sentence.
Julia: Um… 2nd of all, I DON'T LIKE WAYNE!
Lauren: But you did call him cute during the trial.
Julia: Yes, but you missed the part where I called him STUPID!
Scary Girl once again chuckled to herself, causing Julia to grow even more annoyed
Lauren: Julia, I told you - We're friends, you can be honest with me!
Julia: Allies! We're allies! I don't need friends, they disappoint me.
Lauren: Does that mean you used to have friends, but they betrayed your trust in a way that now causes you to push everyone away?
The blonde girl looked incredibly flustered, but after taking a very deep breath, she started walking away.
Julia: You know what, I don't need to be psychoanalyzed by mentally unstable goth girl.
She heard Lauren walking behind her, and turned towards her ally, furious with her,
Julia: Lauren, stop following me!
Lauren: Oh, I'm not. I'm just going in the same direction. Nichelle gave me a make-up palette where some shades really match Axel's skin tone and Chef gave me the keys to the bus, so I can take it.
Julia stopped in her tracks and walked in the other direction, while Lauren skipped her way towards the bus.
Julia(confessional): I. Don't. Like. Wayne! He's dumb. He talks too much about some stupid hockey, he's gross and he's like… a golden retriever puppy, like he's cute and… I… I don't like dogs.
…
Once again, back to Zee, who at this point completely lost his mind. He "grew" a beard, his eyes were reddened as if he didn't sleep for days and his stomach was still growling from hunger as his prosthetic was laying next to him.
Zee(confessional): Turns out that magnets are very hard to eat. Can't believe that our bodies need them to function properly!
Zee: I… I think this is my final goodbye, Miss camerawoman. I feel weak and I think I'm starting to hallucinate!
Lauren: Oh, hi Zee!
The girl opened the doors to the bus, with all the luggage that Zee used to block them, immediately falling out of it. Zee gasped out of fear after seeing her.
Zee: Oh no! I'm hallucinating visions of my friends! As if they're here to remind me of the old, good times!
The purple haired girl just started to laugh as she searched through her bag.
Lauren: Oh, how I wish I could watch your death, but I have something more important to deal with! Nice beard though!
Zee: Oh thanks, but it's not real. I took it from Raj's bag.
Lauren laughed as she found the make-up palette. With her goal achieved she skipped away happily. After she left, the boy started to cry.
Zee: I can't believe this is how it ends for me. I'm a starving teenager, starving to death and a hallucination of Scary Girl is the last thing I have ever seen. Goodbye cruel world!
…
Meanwhile Caleb was making adjustments to Nichelle's outfit, cutting off the fabric at the bottom of the dress, so it ended right above her knees. The girl was wearing a short white dress, with a golden material strapped around her waist and wrists.
Caleb: K, you're done. Bowie said he wasn't going to do much to Raj, so just go to them, they will be finished in a moment.
The girl listened to him and walked away. He turned around and was about to leave, but accidentally bumped into Chase.
Caleb: Oh? Why are you not sitting on the bench?
Chase: I'm looking for Emma. I listened to your advice and talked with her when she seemed calmed, but she completely lost it on me… Do you think it might have something to do with this being her time of the month?
Caleb looked at the shorter boy, completely dumbfounded.
Caleb(confessional): After episode 7 aired, where Emma and Chase briefly got back together, I saw Emma being called many things online. Clueless, dumb, naive, you name it. Surprisingly, one thing that I didn't see was people calling her patient, cause wow. You have to have the patience of a saint to date this guy for more than a few weeks.
Caleb: Maybe this time it's really over for the 2 of you? Maybe this time she won't come back to you?
Chase: Nah, she always says that and she always comes back, but with the exception of our break before the 1st season, I never had to wait this long!
Caleb: Approximately, how many times did you guys broke up?
Chase: Ummm… Like… 12?
Caleb: …Wow.
…
Raj was sitting on a comfortable, leather chair, while Bowie was doing his make-up. Since other than Scary Girl and Wayne, who were busy doing their own thing, no one else was there, Bowie used this as an opportunity to vent his frustrations.
Bowie: It's not like I expect much, right? A simple "Sorry Bowie, you were right" would be enough! I love Emma, platonically of course, but I'm just so upset that she really chose that boy over our friendship! And now she's not even going to apologize?!
Raj: Maybe, it's a pride thing? Like, she just feels embarrass-
Bowie: Babe, I told you not to talk, when I'm applying eyeliner! It messes me up.
Raj smiled embarrassed, while Bowie continued applying make-up to his boyfriend. Meanwhile at the other side of the room, Wayne just sat down in the make-up chair.
Wayne: Hey, Raj, looking good!
His best friend smiled at the boy.
Raj: Than-
Bowie: Raj, what did I tell you? - The flamboyant stared first at his boyfriend, then at the blonde boy - Wayne, you and Raj can talk later, we're busy right now.
Bowie went back to doing Raj's make-up while Wayne just looked down.
Lauren: Not to interrupt your pity party, but we gotta cut it.
The goth girl pointed at his facial hair, as the boy covered it in fear.
Wayne: I don't know, it took a long time for me to grow this facial hair.
The camera first took a close up shot to his barely existing facial hair then to Lauren's unconvinced face.
Lauren: Right. If you're so adamant about not shaving, we can go a different route. Do you have that fake beard?
She looked surprised as immediately as she said that Wayne was already wearing his lucky beard.
Wayne: Of course, I always carry one with me!
Lauren smiled and started applying the make-up.
…
A quick montage is played of the 4 models getting ready for the runway. First Bowie looks at the wigs that they were supplied with, until picking a blonde bob, then Julia walks over to the pool with clothes and after making sure that no one is looking, she grabs a leather jacket that falls to the ground. Next, while Wayne has his back turned to the camera, Scary Girl shows him how his make-up turned out and the boy grabs his face in surprise.
After the montage ends, the camera shows the audience bench, where the non-models are sitting, including Emma who finally came back from wherever she went. The camera then pans to the stage as Chef walks out, dressed in his pink dress that he wore during the original Total Drama Action, causing most of the contestants to laugh, although he looks more excited than angry/embarrassed.
Chef: Jokes on you, I look amazing in this dress. - He walks over to the microphone at the end of the stage and clears his throne - Ladies and gentleman, the runway presentation is about to start, so get ready and may the best team win!
He then quickly runs from the stage to his seat at the judging table next to Chris who has a smirk on his face.
Chris: Nice dress, Chef.
The taller man doesn't respond as the first contestant walks out - Nichelle.
Nichelle(confessional): I was afraid of looking too basic when I saw this dress, but I think that Caleb and Bowie did a great job at making me look like the star that I am.
As previously described, the actress wore a short dress, with a golden fabric strapped around her waist, wrists and ankles. She had black heels and her wig was a shoulder-length, golden bob with the fringe covering her forehead. Her make-up consisted of golden eyeshadow, strong, white eyeliner and nude lip.
Chris: If The Devil Wears Prada, then what does the angel wear?
Chef: Apparently, a nude lip. Interesting choice.
As Nichelle steps out of the stage, Axel comes out. Her look gained stares from most of the girls in the audience.
Emma(confessional): Axel as a guy… Should I… Should I be questioning myself or is everything as it was, cause she's looking like a very hot guy?
Axel(confessional): Getting so much attention from the girls… It felt nice.
The survivalist's outfit is pretty basic, consisting only of a plain white t-shirt tucked into brown pants, that are tucked into combat boots. The outfit is completed by the leather jacket, but it's the make-up that really makes Axel gain so much attention from her competition - painted on, but very realistic looking facial hair, dark eyeshadow under her eyes, giving her a tired, mysterious look. Her wig was styled in a way reminiscent of a typical greaser hairstyle.
Chris: Looks like some members of our audience are questioning themselves.
Chef: One thing that doesn't need questioning is that the make-up and the wig are the only noteworthy things about this look.
Julia rolls her eyes at the judges' comment. Meanwhile Axel leaves the stage, and the next contestant walks in - Raj.
Raj(confessional): At first I liked my outfit, but after seeing Axel and Wayne, I'm no longer sure. Honestly, I'm scared that we might lose this challenge.
The boy walks without any confidence in himself nor in his look - black, formal pants with matching black, tuxedo top and completed by a red tie, which is the only pop of color in Raj's attire. The make-up is also pretty simple with just a dark eyeshadow and black eyeliner.
Chef: What were you saying about the Devil wearing Prada?
Chris: Yeah, I think this one went bankrupt and is now shopping at Godswill.
The last contestant to walk out is Wayne, however he doesn't immediately face the audience, leaving them only to see the back of his costume.
Wayne(confessional): Lauren advised me to start by hiding my face. She's the most knowledgeable about this, so I just listened to her advice and hope it works out!
When he finally arrives at the center of the stage, only then he turns. to face the audience and the judges. His dress has a typical 50's silhouette with a big, fluffy skirt and a top with puffy sleeves. The blue fabric around his waist with an added bow is a nice addition, but it does make the extra fabric quite visible if someone is to take a longer look at it. However, like with Axel the biggest standout is the make-up. His lips are painted cherry red, giving good contrast against pastel blue eye make-up Scary Girl went with. This alongside his wig, which is stylized, long waves, makes for a funny contrast to his fake beard.
Chris: Remember those Beth dolls that didn't sell well? Like at all? Maybe we resurrect the idea, but this time with toys of bearded, 50's housewife Wayne?
Chef: It's either going to kill this show for good or will make us enough money to keep going for at least 10 more seasons.
…
After a quick fade to black, the teams are standing together on the stage, with the models being at front. All the contestants are looking worried and uncertain.
Chris: Let's start the critiques, shall we? - He looked at Chef who nodded - First of, Tired Screenwriters. I will be honest, Nichelle's outfit is incredible, but what's with the nude lip and black heels?
Bowie, Caleb and Nich smiled at first, but their smiles quickly disappeared after hearing the 2nd part of the sentence
Chef: I agree with Chris. A sheer gloss or even white lipstick would look great, but nude? I don't think so, but other than that, her look is good, something I can't say about Raj's. You guys were going for the devil and angel, but instead we got an angel and a CEO of funeral services.
Chris: Lastly we gotta question your choices with the divers - Chase, the kid who in his introduction jumped off the plane sat down this challenge instead of MK who's scared of heights?
Screenwriters looked angrily at Chase.
Chase(confessional): That is so unfair! MK agreed to doing this challenge, why am I getting blamed for that?!
Chris: Now, let's talk about the Angry Directors. First of all, you lost 1 of your teammates.
Lauren: Oh, Zee? He's in the bus.
Julia: What?! Why didn't you tell us? Why didn't you bring him here?
Lauren: I found him, after our talk. it's not like he would be useful at this point.
Julia just facepalmed annoyed with the spooky gal, who just shrugged.
Chris: I think he actually would've been useful, cause then Julia wouldn't have to take the leather jacket off the ground. - He smirked as the rest of Directors stared annoyed at Julia, who was embarrassed for being caught in the act - You're lucky she took it off the ground and not from the pool, cause otherwise you guys would immediately be disqualified from this challenge.
Chef: Was the risk even worth it? Axel's outfit was still pretty boring even with the jacket. Luckily Scar Girl's make-up skills came in clutch and Axel looks like a completely different person.
Julia(confessional): Okay, so maybe I cheated a little bit, but Damien was barely walking and Zee completely bailed on us. I had to add something to Axel's outfit, cause if she walked in wearing only a white tee and pants, we would be toast!
Chris: I gotta congratulate you guys for Wayne's outfit, cause he looks fabulous! The dress is really pretty and suits him, the make-up looks professional and the beard? - He took out his notes and started reading them - The beard is… Camp? Camp! …Whatever it means.
Chef: Agreed, but my one complaint is the extra fabric in the middle. I get why you didn't cut it off, but I still gotta critique it.
Chris and Chef exchanged looks and nodded.
Chris: With this being said, I'm happy to say, Tried Screenwriters…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
You did not impress us today. We will be seeing each other at the elimination ceremony, which means, con-drag-ulations Angry Directors! You're the winner of this week's challenge!
The blue team immediately started to celebrate. Axel, Wayne and Damien took Lauren and Julia into a big group hug and while the influencer just looked unsure of how to react, the creepy girl was visibly happy to be so close to Damien. On another hand, the losing team stared at them with jealousy and sadness.
…
The contestants made their way into the bus with Priya being the 1st one to step inside, but she quickly stopped in her tracks, when she noticed Zee laying on the ground.
Priya: Um, Zee?
Zee: Oh no, first I was hallucinating Scary Girl now Priya! Not even Chase or Ripper? That's a bummer!
Priya was about to say something, until she was pushed aside by Julia, who grabbed Zee by his collar.
Julia: What are you doing here, you idiot! You are so lucky we didn't lose this challenge or I would personally pack your bags!
Zee: Wait, so me and Miss Camerawoman aren't the last people left on earth?
The girl was about to throw herself onto the soda guy, but luckily for the boy, she was held back by Caleb and the hockey bros.
…
The Screenwriters were all sitting in the theater in their formal wear. Bowie was in the same suit he won the title of both prom king and prom queen, next to him Raj was wearing blue formal pants, white shirt and a bow in the same color as his pants. Emma let her hair down and wore a glittered, pastel pink gown. Chase's outfit consisted of black jeans and a black t-shirt featuring a printed tie and white shirt design. Caleb had the same jeans as usual, but he replaced his pink t-shirt with a white one and a pastel yellow vest. Priya's hair was tied in a bun, while she herself wore an orange tube top and high waisted, floor-length, magenta skirt. MK's outfit, consisting of a black skirt and a white, oversized shirt, looked extremely simple in comparison to Nichelle's who was sitting right next to the short girl. The actress had a wig of long, golden locks, wore a short, dark-purple dress with a v-neck with golden accents, alongside matching, gold accessories like her necklace and earrings.
Chase was the first person to vote and as soon as he did that, he smirked towards Raj.
Chase(confessional): Raj is the one responsible for Emma breaking up with me, so I convinced MK, Nichelle, Priya and Caleb to vote for him. Serves him well for not minding his own business.
The next person to vote was the aforementioned hockey player alongside his partner.
Bowie(confessional): What's better than voting for Julia? Voting for Chase.
Next, the camera panned to Emma who looked at Chase with a pain behind her eyes. After wiping away a few tears, she also voted.
Emma(confessional): I thought I could fix him, but in reality he just made me worse.
Finally, the camera panned to MK, Nichelle, Caleb and Priya. The 1st 3 voted without any problems, but Priya accidentally dropped her device. When she looked down for it, she noticed something else, but she quickly put on her poker face, and after finding the phone, she also voted.
Chris: Alright then, first golden Chris goes to… Nichelle! And another one for MK!
The two girls happily caught their safety symbols and high-fived each other.
Chris: The next person safe is…
…
…
…
Caleb!
…
…
And Priya, you're also safe!
He threw the golden statues to the two teenagers, leaving only Emma, Bowie, Raj and Chase without one.
Chris: The last 2 people without any votes are…
…
…
…
Bowie!
…
…
…
And Emma!
As he caught his Chris, Bowie smiled at his ex best friend, who immediately looked the other way. Bowie looked down as Raj patted him on the back with an encouraging smile.
Chris: Chase, Raj, one of you will be going home today. That person is…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Chase!
The boy stood up, shocked as the hockey bro received his Chris.
Chase: What?! Caleb, MK, Nich, Priya! Y'all said you will vote with me for Raj?!
MK: Yeah, we said that just in case you had the idol.
The boy looked in disappointment and sadness as his former teammates.
Chase: Unbelievable. Voting off the 2nd strongest person on the team this early on?
The girls and gays of the team just rolled their eyes as Chase started to walk towards the Red Carpet of Shame. Before he could leave the show for good, Emma quickly stood up from her seat and ran after him, causing the rest of her team and the hosts to exchange worried looks.
Emma: Chase, wait! - Hearing her voice, he turned around, excited - Despite everything, I just wanted to wish you well. The only good thing that came out of our relationship is the person that I am today, so, I kinda wanted to at least thank you for tha- Wait, what are you doing?
She looked confused at Chase, who puckered his lips as in anticipation of a kiss.
Chase: Are we not about to make out?
Immediately, he screamed in pain as the girl slapped him. Emma just looked at him in complete disbelief.
Emma: …You're a real piece of work.
She threw her hands in defeat and went back to the rest of her teammates as the boy started to walk the Red Carpet. He was looking down at his feet, saddened by the loss of his girlfriend and his place in the show, until the tomatoes started to be thrown at him, only then he picked up the pace.
Chris: Emma really jumpscared me with that one! Luckily, it was just a false alert, cause otherwise we would have to thrash the horror challenge, cause nothing would top the scary prospect of these 2 getting back together! But with Chase gone, I wonder what Emma will do, now that the topic of all of her confessionals is now out of the game? If you're also wondering that, then don't forget to tune into the next episode of Total. Drama. Action!
…
Later that night, when The Screenwriters already went back to their cabins and the lights at the theater were already out, one of the contestants sneaked there. She looked down under the seats of the 1st row and let out a gasp of excitement.
Priya: Yes, yes, yes!
She reached down and scooped out a wooden figure of Chris' head. The girl was about to celebrate, but before she had a chance to, she heard the noise of someone else sneaking there, so she quickly hid the idol in her pocket and quietly left the theater.
Priya(confessional): I got the idol! I GOT THE IDOL! Oh my God, I'm so excited! It's been strongly nerfed since we last saw it on All Stars, BUT WHO CARES? It's still very strong and… I think I know what I will do with it.
Another episode is done! Just like the last, this challenge is an obvious reference, this time it's RuPaul's Drag Race. Some of you may know about this, but the original flyer that showed off the new designs and names, also mentioned a few challenges that didn't appear in the 1st season, including a drag challenge and as a big fan of RPDR, I had to use this idea.
Now let's talk about elimination, Chase is my least favorite character from the new gen, but he was so fun to write. I know there's people that want him to get redeemed, but I don't think this would make sense. Chase was a sexist asshole in the 1st season and I wanted to keep that, every time I was writing him I thought "what's the worst thing Chase can say right now?" and that made him so fun to write. I could keep him in the game for 1 or maybe 2 more episodes, but I didn't want to drag out his plotline with Emma.
Some of you may question Priya's comment about Wawanakwa Island being a set on the original TDI, but it's actually a reference to the special episode, where Courtney learned that it was a set. I wanted to reference it and explain the retcon of it becoming an island in later seasons.
I will talk a bit about Zee, cause the idea of him not being at the challenge came to me literally the moment I wrote Chef telling others to not forget to wake up Zee, Chase and someone else. I didn't have any plans on what to do with him in this episode, so this actually gave him something to do and honestly, it's pretty realistic for him to see that he was left alone and immediately go to the most crazy conclusion like the end of the world.
Now, I want to thank everyone who commented and to answer a few of you:
ChillBra19 - I actually wanted to draw Scary Girl's formal wear, but I can't draw at all :( Maybe one day.
- Actually, at first I wanted to include cameos in this and in the previous chapters, but I decided against them. However there will be plenty of references and mentions of the previous contestants, so I hope this will be enough.
Finally, I'm happy to say that this week I managed to write so much, that tommorow I will be releasing another chapter!
