Chris: Last time on Total Drama Action, the contestants took part in a 2 part challenge based on teen dramas! The first part being truth or dare, revealed some very interesting things!
Footage of the aforementioned challenge is played, most notably Julia kissing Axel instead of Wayne and Nichelle laying on the ground, after doing mere pathetic 2 jumping jacks.
Chris: Nichelle's delusion and lack of any condition caused her team to lose the first part, but she had a chance to redeem herself in an acting challenge! Unfortunately for her, Screenwriters got too cocky after their winning streak, which resulted in only Nichelle having a good performance, therefore Directors finally won their 2nd challenge thanks to Wayne's and Julia's onscreen chemistry!
Tidbits of the acting challenge are shown: Nichelle slapping Priya and storming off the set, Axel accusing Wayne of being Go Piss Girl and lastly, Wayne's and Julia's kiss.
Chris: It seemed like Nichelle was a goner, until MK pulled out her stolen immunity idol and correctly played it on her only ally! The girls voted off Priya, just a few hours after she revealed how her parents took most of her winnings from the last season! But their evilness didn't end there - they also convinced the poor girl that Damien gave them the idol! What is he going to do in the game now that his girlfriend is gone? What's going to happen between Julia and Wayne? 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 and smiles back at him. 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.
…
At the girl's cabin, MK stretches in bed, just waking up. She opens her eyes just to see Nichelle standing in front of her, holding something behind her back. The actress smiles at her ally, who stares in confusion.
Nichelle: Oh hi! You're finally awake!
MK: And you've been standing there and just staring at me while I was sleeping. Not weird at all.
Nichelle rolled her eyes, while MK sat on her bed.
MK: So like, what do you want?
Nichelle: Oh, right! - The girl pulls out a gift box from behind her - That's as a thank you for saving me at the last elimination ceremony. I would go home if not for you,
MK: For the record, I didn't do that for you, I did that, cause I need allies.
Nichelle let out a sigh of annoyance.
Nichelle: Do you want the gift or not?
After a few seconds of looking at it, MK took the box and opened it. She was confused as she pulled out an oversized, brown cardigan, red tie, blue skirt and black shorts.
MK: Clothes? Do you think I care about fashion?
Nichelle: If you did you wouldn't wear that shirt. - She said while looking at MK's yellow shirt that the short girl also slept in - I just noticed that your formal outfit for the ceremony could use some… You know… Help. So I checked through my luggage and took a few things that I thought you may like.
MK: Well… Thanks… I guess.
Nichelle smiled at the girl, before walking away. As soon as Nichelle was out of sight, MK smiled slightly while looking at her gift, before putting it away.
MK(confessional): I'm not used to getting anything for free, so I guess that it was nice of Nichelle to give me those, but at the end of the day I know I'm just an ally to her and nothing more, and hey - same. We're not friends and we're never going to be. Obviously.
…
Meanwhile, at the boy's cabin, Damien was laying in his bed, covering himself with the blanket. The only other people at the cabin were Wayne and Raj who exchanged worried looks.
Raj: Damien, you've been lying like that for the past 3 days. You know you will see Priya once you're out of the game, right?
The boy didn't answer the boy's question. Wayne just put a hand on Raj's shoulder.
Wayne: Today should be the challenge, maybe it will finally get him out of bed. Let's just go to breakfast.
The other boy looked at Damien, before nodding, and the two hockey bros left the cabin.
Damien(confessional): I can't help, but feel guilty for Priya going home! I should have refused when she proposed to give me the idol, it was obvious she was going to be targeted! And as if things couldn't go worse, I also lost that stupid figure!
…
Hockey Bros walked through the entrance of the cafeteria and both of them sat with Bowie. While they were passing by, Julia was staring at Wayne, which was noticed by Lauren who laughed, causing Julia to look embarrassed.
Julia(confessional): I think I'm about to go crazy! I can't focus on the game, because Wayne keeps distracting me and Lauren is always there to make fun of it! Is Wayne cute? …I guess, but you know what's also cute? Clothes from the newest Chanelle collection, something that I will only be able to afford if I win the prize money!
Julia: Are you going to laugh every time I just happen to space out and look in Wayne's direction?
Lauren: No! I will laugh every time you feel the need to excuse why you were looking at him.
The blonde girl rolled her eyes.
Julia: Whatever. We need to talk about what to do in case we lose the challenge. I assume you're still adamant about keeping Damien?
Lauren: You know me so well! But, since you "don't" like Wayne, that means that you shouldn't mind if we voted him out, right?
The purple haired girl giggled once again, much to Julia's annoyance.
Julia: For the last time - I don't like him! He smells like a sausage that took a bath in a cologne, he has this thick annoying accent, reminding me of my uncle who was not allowed near kids and in general, he's just an idiot!
Lauren: And yet… You can't stop thinking about him.
Lauren smiled mischievously, while Julia was completely gagged, not knowing what to say to that.
Julia: I- Uh- Well- Ugh! Shut up!
The goth girl laughed to herself, once again, causing Julia to groan, before turning away and continuing to eat her food. Meanwhile, Emma and Caleb were also talking to each other.
Caleb: You looked pretty scared yesterday, did you think that the girls would vote you out?
Emma: I mean, no not really, but you can never know. Like, I didn't expect them to vote for Priya, I assumed that it's game over for Bowie, especially when Chris read the first vote for him. I still don't understand how he got it.
Caleb laughed awkwardly.
Caleb: Yeah, that was weird.
Caleb(confessional): Obviously, I voted for Bowie, but I didn't expect Chris to read out the votes! I just wanted to scare him a bit, cause I didn't think there's a chance of him going home, but now… Nichelle and MK are probably pretty desperate for someone to vote with them.
At the other end of the table, Bowie, Raj and Wayne were also discussing events of the last elimination ceremony.
Bowie: MK and Nichelle had to vote for Priya. and us two voted for Nichelle, which leaves Caleb or Priya as the person who voted for me.
Raj: What about Emma?
Bowie: No, she wouldn't do that.
Raj: Are we really sure?
Bowie hesitated with an answer, before just shaking his head.
Bowie: You know what, doesn't matter! MK now has a big target on her back, if we lose we will just vote her off. - He turned his head towards Wayne - And how are things looking in your team? You were kinda radio silent for the past couple days.
Wayne: Oh, I feel safe. I don't think I have much to worry about.
Raj: And What about your crush on Julia?!
The boy said it a bit louder than intended, causing a few people near them to hear most of what was said, including Julia, who just turned her head away from the boys. Raj immediately looked as if he felt guilty. Wayne got flustered and started silencing his buddy.
Wayne: Maybe not so loud?!
Raj: Sorry. My bad.
The blonde boy let out a sigh and just shrugged.
Wayne: It's alright. I don't have much to say, that's why I've been silent.
Wayne(confessional): I started to think about what Damien said about Julia not liking me and just using me to get further into the game. I mean it does seem like a thing that she could do.
The camera panned away from the boys to Axel who also overheard what Raj said. The girl was clearly deeply thinking about it.
Axel(confessional): I hate to admit that, but Damien may be right. Julia and Wayne evidently are feeling something towards each other and Scary Girl is obsessed with Damien. I may not be as safe as I thought I was.
All the conversations at the cafeteria stopped when Chris walked in.
Chris: Hello actors! I thought that today may be a good time to celebrate how far all of you got into the competition, so we will be throwing a little party at my mansion! Wear something nice!
The contestants stared, confused at the man who immediately walked out after the announcement, none of them expecting that. The silence was disrupted by Emma gasping out of excitement.
Emma: Are we going to merge?
Julia: No way! We're not even at final 10!
Caleb: Also, every celebration from making merge usually boils down to 5 seconds of the contestants just screaming in excitement. Pretty far from a party.
Bowie: Actually, the original Total Drama Action had an actual celebration of making the merge. They filmed a parody sequence of an intro of some sitcom. This season is a reboot to that one, so we might also get to celebrate making the merge.
At this point Julia stood up and started walking away.
Julia: I don't know what y'all are getting excited for. It's probably just going to be another challenge and Chris is just setting you up for disappointment.
With that, the girl left the room and immediately Bowie rolled his eyes.
Bowie: Typical Julia, nothing makes her blood boil like seeing genuine happiness and excitement on other people's faces.
Wayne, hearing this, frowned and looked down at the floor, while Raj put a hand on his shoulder in a comforting fashion, causing Bowie to look the other way.
Bowie: Oh. Yeah. Sorry about that.
…
Chris and the girls were standing in front of a big, luxurious if old fashion manor, all of them wearing their formal outfits (although it's worth noting that Nichelle didn't wear a wig, while MK wore the clothes given to her by the actress). The estate looked somewhat similar to haunted mansions you would see in horror movies, but more well-kept and brighter.
Chirs looked at his watch with an annoyed expression.
Chris: Where the heck are the boys? I would expect you girls to be so late, but what would take them this long?
Julia: Wow. That's not stereotypical at all.
Chris: Oh excuse me Julia, just one look at you and I should know that you didn't spend more than 2 minutes getting ready.
Julia rolled her eyes, while the girls all laughed. Chris also chuckled at his joke, but his smile remained on his face when he noticed the male contestants approaching, although he was also slightly confused by the fact that Caleb, Wayne and Raj were dragging Damien who seemed like he was trying to escape them, while was also wearing his normal clothes.
Chris: What's up with him?
Caleb: He's kinda been like that since Priya got eliminated. - Camera quickly panned to MK and Nichelle who exchanged looks - He didn't wanna come here, so we had to drag him.
Chris: So his girlfriend that really needs financial support got eliminated and his response to that is to try and get himself eliminated instead of trying to win to help her? He's a keeper!
The guys dropped Damien who quickly stood up and looked down, feeling the man's words.
Damien(confessional): Who would guess that out of everyone here it would be Chris that would help me get the motivation to continue? He's right, I need to stop thinking about myself and focus on the game, so I can help Priya. That's the least I can do.
Chris: Since all of you are finally here, let's just get in!
The man clapped and in the instant, the doors to the mansion opened. He walked inside with the teens following closely behind. Wayne was walking right next to Julia.
Wayne: I think you look nice.
Julia: Huh?
Wayne: I mean, I overheard Chris joking that you look like if you got ready in 5 minutes, so I just wanted to-
Julia: Yeah, thanks.
She picked up a pace, leaving behind the confused boy.
…
The contestant looked surprised and impressed as they entered the living room. It was a huge room, lightened by dark-blue light, giving it a party atmosphere. Chris prepared a table with snacks, next to which were a big sofa that would easily fit most of the contestants and a few chairs. In the corner of the room a few interns were giving a life concert. The room had 2 open exits from it, one connected to the hallway, while the other one led to the kitchen.
Raj: I like it here! You have good taste, coach!
Axel: Yeah, surprised that you even invited us here.
Chris: That's, because everything here was bought by production. I would never let YOU inside my property, but since me and Chef are only staying here until the show ends, I couldn't care less.
Bowie: Well, since we're here, maybe you can tell us why you invited us?
Chris: Of course! It's, because we're… - The contestants looked with excitement awaiting for the man to finish the sentence - Doing a challenge based on detective fiction and what's better for that than a murder party?
Most of the contestants sighed, disappointed, except for Julia who had an "I told you so" look on her face.
Chris: Today's challenge is easy - Each team will choose 2 members who will play a card game. Each team will be given a set of 29 cards. 18 for characters, 6 for weapons and 5 for the place where the murder took place. One card from every category will be picked and turned upside down, so the players won't know what is chosen, while the rest of them will get shuffled between both players. A member of screenwriters will ask for 2 cards from a member of Directors. If the Director is in possession of the cards, they will have to show it, if not, then it moves to the other Director's member. This way, both teams will have to figure out which cards are missing from their rivals' decks, but nobody can say what was shown to them.
Damien: Wait, but that challenge only requires 4 players, what are the rest of us supposed to do? Are we going to wrestle sharks to get those cards? Will we be chased by Jack The Ripper's very distant cousin, until the game ends?
Chris: Nope! Everyone else gets to party and enjoy their time! The game will take place in the guest room. Whoever doesn't participate is free to go to the living room, kitchen, downstairs bathroom, upstairs bathroom and the masters bedroom. We prepared board games, an intern band and snacks for all of you to enjoy!
Chris smiled and seemingly most of the contestants have no questions about it, but not all of them.
Julia(confessional): Yeah, I don't think so. Sitting one person was unheard of on this show, but 7? And those 7 are supposed to have a good time?
…
The 5 Director members were sitting in the kitchen. It was pretty bland, but cute, although it felt like a kitchen you'd see in a family, suburban house and not in a mansion like this. Just white walls, wooden floor and cabinets, a normal fridge and kitchen island, with a few chairs around it.
Wayne: Who wants to do the challenge?
Damien was the first to raise his hand.
Damien: I'm not really in a celebratory mood, but this challenge is right up my alley.
Julia: Do you promise that you won't start crying halfway through it?
The boy rolled his eyes, before jumping in shock, where Scary Girl suddenly put her arm around him.
Lauren: Owww, you're sure? A party like this is a perfect opportunity to spend more time together?
Damien: If I wasn't sure earlier, I definitely am now!
Lauren: Well… I guess that this challenge needs 2 people for it! I volunteer myself as a tribute!
The boy looked terrified as he looked at Julia as if awaiting for her to make the decision.
Julia: …No, I will do it. I don't want to brag, but we need smart people for this and there's no one smarter in this team than me.
Damien breathed out a sigh of relief, while Lauren smiled in a menacing way.
Lauren: Are you sure, there isn't something else you want to do? Or someone else?
She looked in Wayne's direction, who wasn't even paying attention to the discussion.
Julia: No and don't even try it Lauren. - She sent just as menacing glare towards the other girl before grabbing Damien - Come on Damien.
The 2 contestants left the kitchen, causing Lauren to roll her eyes.
Lauren(confessional): Since their kiss, Julia does everything she can to be far and away from Wayne, which is kinda cute, I have to admit, but to steal an opportunity of spending time with Damien, away from me? She is really brave! And I am really petty!
The goth girl approached Wayne, who looked cornered when he looked at her creepy smile.
Wayne: Uh, hi Scary Girl?
Lauren: Hi Wayne! Julia didn't want me to tell you that, but she liked when you kissed her.
The boy's eyes were wide open as he tried to comprehend what Scary Girl just told me. She just giggled at the sight, seeing that her job here is done and left, but not before getting a suspicious look from Axel.
Lauren(confessional): This will be either veeeery cute or veeeery funny!
Wayne(confessional): Is Scary Girl telling the truth or does she just want to piss off Julia as a revenge for taking Damien? …Oh whatever, I will give it a shot!
…
Julia and Damien entered the guest room. It was an empty, dark room with only a single light bulb, barely lighting up the place. The light was above a long dark table, where MK and Bowie were already waiting for them. The Directors took their seats, across from each other and looked at their competition.
MK: What, are you surprised to see us here? Did you expect Nichelle and Raj?
Neither Julia or Damien answered, since suddenly, from the shadows, emerged Chef who was shuffling two decks of cards at once.
Chef: Did Chris already explain the rules? - The 4 teenagers nodded - Ugh, bastard, he knew I wanted to do that.
The man rolled his eyes, before pulling 3 cards from each deck and putting them in front of Julia and Bowie. He quickly divided one deck to the blue team and the other to the yellow. Lastly he pulled 4 cards of paper and pens and gave each of them to every player.
Chef: Those are for the notes, so none of you will accidentally mess anything.
With that Chef was about to leave, causing the group to exchange confused looks.
MK: Wait, are you not going to supervise the game? How will we know when to end the game?
Chef chuckled to himself, furthering the confusion of the teenagers.
Chef: This is why Chris should have left the explaining to me. If you or your partner are confident that you know the killer, the murder weapon and the place of the crime, you wait for your turn, then loudly announce your picks and check the cards to see if you're right or not. If you are, congratulations - Your team won the challenge. If you don't… Welp, we will see each other at the elimination ceremony. - The contestants' jaws dropped at this revelation while the man once again laughed - Good luck with the game!
Chef left the room, closing the doors behind and the contestants immediately looked through their cards, which resulted in some confusion.
Bowie: If we go alphabetically, B is first, so I will start. Julia, do you have yourself or Priya?
Julia quickly scanned through her cards, before showing one of them to Bowie. It was a card with an image of Priya in her formal outfit.
Bowie(confessional): Each "murder suspect" is represented by a player from the game and since I have a card with Chris, I assume there's also a card with Chef, since there's supposed to be 18. There's more of those types of cards than weapons and places combined, so once I will know the "killer", the game will become so much easier.
Julia: MK, do you have… Yourself or Bowie.
She shook her head and Julia immediately noted it. She then looked at Bowie, who handed her the card with MK.
MK: My turn. Damien - Kitchen or knife?
As Damien handed one of his cards to the girl, Julia slightly smirked.
Julia(confessional): When Chris named all the rooms that the others can go to, I counted them and realized that it matches the number of cards where the murder could take place. This and the fact that the suspects are us, means that to know what murder weapons are in the game, you have to have a card with it. If Damien also sees it, Bowie and MK will win 1/3 of the challenge for us, if we just continue to ask them about the suspects and the rooms.
Damien: Bowie, do you have a baseball bat or a statue of a golden Chris?
Julia(confessional): Nope. He doesn't see it.
…
Meanwhile the others were just hanging out in the living room, just talking or eating snacks. Except for Wayne and Raj who were taking full use of the unused by the band microphones that were left there.
Raj: Gimme! Gimme! Gimme a man after midnight!
Wayne: Won't somebody help me, chase the shadows away!
Raj and Wayne: GImme! Gimme! Gimme a man after midnight! Take me through the darkness to the break of the day!
The duo started to do robot dance moves as the chorus ended, while the camera panned to Emma and Caleb. The girl was watching the two boys perform with a smile on her face, while helping herself with some gummy bears, while he looked completely indifferent.
Emma: Hey, maybe we can go next! What'd you say, Caleb?
Caleb: Yeah… Or maybe we could, you know, talk a bit about what we do if we lose this challenge?
Emma: We will vote for MK, right? I mean, she takes part in the challenge and she's such a huge threat, so…
Caleb: I mean, she's an option, but I thought…
Emma: Wait! This is my favorite part!
The blonde girl jumped from the sofa and slid on her knees, joining the boys in the singing.
Emma: MOVIE STARS!
Emma, Raj and Wayne: Find the end of the rainbow with a fortune to win!
The boy rolled his eyes, which was noticed by Nichelle who smirked slightly.
Nichelle(confessional): Lights, camera and… Nichelle goes into action!
The girl approached Caleb who looked at her with suspicion.
Nichelle: Hiii Caleb! How are you?
Caleb: What do you want?
Nichelle: I see you don't like beating around the bush, huh? - The girl sat next to the boy - I know that you voted for Bowie.
Caleb: …Yeah I did. And what?
The girl smiled from ear to ear.
Nichelle: Well, I assume that means you want to get rid of him, right?
Caleb: …I do. I was the first boot last season, because of him, I deserve some revenge.
Nichelle: You absolutely do! But to do that, you need at least 3 votes for tiebreaker! You will help me and MK get through this ceremony and we will help you eliminate Bowie. Deal?
She reached out her hand to him and the boy shook it with a smile on his face.
Caleb: Deal.
Caleb(confessional): I don't care about MK and Nichelle idoling out Priya, so if they want to work with me to get Bowie out, then it's completely fine with me, but I don't know how Emma will react to this. I like her, she's my friend, but no one comes between me and revenge.
Nichelle: It's a pleasure doing deals with you! Now, excuse me, but I'm going to powder my nose.
The girl stood up and walked away from her new found ally.
…
Back at the card game, Julia was just showing her card to MK who was smiling to herself.
MK(confessional): The murder place is the kitchen, the weapon is a knife and I confined the suspects to Wayne, Julia and Axek. I'm so close to closing it in!
Before the game could continue, the players heard a sudden, girly scream, causing them to turn their attention towards the door.
Damien: What was that?
MK: I don't know, but judging by the scream, Raj or Nichelle fall head first into the toilet or whatever. Let's just continue the game.
Once again they heard a scream coming from downstairs, this time it didn't leave anything up to interpretation.
Nichelle: Chef is dead!
The 4 exchanged looks.
Bowie: I mean, if we all go at the same time, they won't punish us for leaving this room
The other 3 nodded and the teenagers made their way out of the room, first MK, then the Directors and lastly Bowie.
…
A group of 8 teenagers stood in a tight, modern bathroom, in front of them a bathtub, inside of which was laying a cold, lifeless body of Chef Hatchet. Some of them looked skeptical, but a few remained suspicious. Nichelle had her make-up completely smeared, as a result of crying.
Nichelle: I wanted to use the toilet and when I walked over to the sink to wash my hands I saw him laying like that!
At this moment, hockey bros and Caleb barged into the bathroom as well.
Caleb: The main doors are closed.
Wayne: So are the ones leading to the backyard.
Raj: Windows are all barricaded and the interns suddenly went missing!
The bros were both panicking in contrast to the big guy, who was still as indifferent as always. This caused MK to lean over the bath and start checking the body.
Nichelle: I already checked the pulse, there's nothing there!
MK: Huh? Oh, I was looking for his wallet. - The others looked at the girl, completely flabbergasted - What? He's already dead, might as well rob him,
At this moment, the girl pulled out something from his pocket, but it wasn't a wallet. Instead it was just a small card of paper with something written on it.
MK: "Surprise! The cards were just a ploy to get you all distracted! The real challenge of today is "murder party". Each team has one murderer, who can kill any of you as long as you're the only ones in the room and if this happens to you, you have to pretend to be dead until the end of the challenge. Giving any hints towards the killer's identity will result in automatic loss of this challenge. The killer and their team wins, if they kill all members of the opposite, but there's another way to win this challenge. In the living room, there's a red button, if you're absolutely sure you know who the killer from the other team is, you can press it. If you guess correctly your team wins, but if you don't - your team loses."
Julia: Of course the cards weren't the real challenge! Doing a murder party themed challenge without doing an actual murder party? Not on this show.
Nichelle looked pissed off as she took the card right out MK's arms.
Nichelle: Wait, so you're telling me, that I went through trauma of thinking that I found an actual dead body, just for this to be a dumb challenge?!
MK: Yeah. I bet your therapist will love to hear about this.
Nichelle: I'm really not in a mood for jokes!
Damien: You know what? - The boy stood up in the entrance to the bathroom - Since the killer can't kill you if you're with at least one more person in the room, I'm going to just wait it all out in the living room. I invite everyone, but the killer screenwriter, to join me there!
The boy quickly walked out. He was followed by Axel, while most of the other contestants walked out in groups: Emma and Caleb; Bowie, Raj and Wayne. Seeing this MK quickly grabbed Nichelle.
Nichelle: Hey-
Before she could object, the short girl quickly pulled the actress out of the room leaving only Julia, who turned towards Lauren.
Julia: Okay, we gotta be quick, I have a theory that can easily win us this challenge, but I need to check something, alright?
Lauren nodded. After that, the mean girls alliance also left the bathroom, leaving only the Chef's, now confirmed to be fake, body behind.
…
Damien was sitting alone at the couch in the living room, when Axel walked in and approached the boy, causing him to back down a little.
Damien: You're not here to kill me, right?
Axel raised her brows.
Axel: We're on the same team?
Damien: Oh. - The boy relaxed - Right, I forgot.
The girl rolled her eyes, before sitting next to the nerd.
Axel: So… Did you got over-
Damien: Priya leaving? Not yet, but I realized that I have to try and win this for her.
The girl nodded and the two sat in silence for a moment.
Axel(confessional): Ugh, I hate admitting that I was in the wrong. It doesn't happen often, so I'm not used to it!
Axel: I was thinking about what you told me, that the girls may vote me out, since they like you and Wayne… - The boy slightly smiled hearing that, which caused Axel to frown - And let's say I believe you. How do we kick out either Julia or Scary Girl?
Damien: Well, I am very much glad to hear that! If we vote together we need one more vote and I think there's a chance that Wayne might agree to vote with us.
Axel: Really?
Damien: Yeah, I've been working on him for a few days, before Priya got eliminated. He's not sure if Julia really likes him or not.
Axel: You saw how she reacts every time he talks to her? Of course she likes him.
Damien: Yes, but luckily for us, Wayne is not the sharpest tool in the shed and Julia is a master in giving mixed messages!
The conversation between the two was interrupted by another scream coming from nearby…
…
Meanwhile, MK and Nichelle were in the kitchen, where the beanie girl was looking through every cabinet and checking every corner, while Nich just stood there, bored.
Nichelle: Why are we even here?
MK: I'm just looking for something and you're here for my protection.
The actress rolled her eyes.
Nichelle: Yeah, anyway… I'm happy to see that you liked my gift!
MK stopped for a second and looked at herself as if she forgot what clothes she was wearing.
MK: Uh, yeah. I guess. - She shrugged before continuing her search, causing an awkward silence for a few seconds - Um, so like, why are you here?
Nichelle: What?
MK: I mean, the show. Like I get that you're a fan, but is that all there is to it? Like you're rich and famous, so…
Nichelle: Oh! - The girl blinked in surprise, being caught off guard by the question - Well, Total Drama was my favorite show as a kid, so yeah. I remember crying the night when I saw Leshawna's elimination in TDI for the first time - She chuckled to herself - I was always so upset seeing how she and then Jasmine were so close to winning, but barely fell short, because of some bull. They were my childhood heroes and I hope that there will be little girls who will see me and will feel the same way I did when I watched them.
MK stopped to hear Nichelle's story and she seemed to be really surprised and somewhat touched by it.
MK: Wow, I… I didn't expect that.
Nichelle shrugged.
Nichelle: My agents also didn't expect it. I even have an old photo of me and Leshawna at a comic con together as my phone wallpaper. Wait, lemme show you. - The girl tried to search her nonexistent pockets before stopping - Oh. Right. Maybe after the show!
MK: Yeah… maybe.
MK(confessional): As if she's even going to remember me after this ends.
Nichelle: Anyway, I will get a drink, you want something?
MK shook her head, without even turning towards Nichelle who just shrugged and opened the fridge. The girl let out a banshee scream, causing MK to turn around, confused, but she quickly let out a gasp of surprise as she noticed Chris' "dead" body that just fell out of the fridge.
MK: Yeah, so that's kinda… What I've been looking for.
…
Lauren and Julia were sneaking up the stairs, when they heard the scream, causing the goth girl to get excited.
Lauren: Let's check it out, sounds like they are having a lot of fun!
Julia: Not now. Come on.
The girls walked up to the first floor, where Julia looked around before opening the doors to the guest room where the card game took place.
Julia: You stay here and keep watch.
Lauren nodded while Julia walked towards the table. Immediately Lauren took a peek at the hallway and giggled to herself.
Lauren: Are you here to kill me?
In the meantime, Julia was looking around the table for something, but she clearly couldn't find it.
Julia(confessional): I had a theory that the card game revealed who the killer is, so I wanted to take Lauren and check it, but it seems like someone was quicker.
Julia: Ugh, what a waste of time!
She looked at the door frame where Lauren was supposed to keep watch, but the blonde girl quickly realized that she was alone in the room.
Julia: If I walk out of this room and you're waiting there to scare me, I am so voting your butt off.
She waited for an answer, but was only met with silence. The influencer rolled her eyes and walked out of the room, but she quickly let out a gasp upon noticing a "bloodied corpse" of her ally laying on the ground.
Julia: LAUREN?!
She kneeled down and was about to check the girl's pulse, before Scary Girl started to laugh.
Lauren: It's fake blood! I always carry it with me! But it's nice to see that you were so worried for me!
Julia: Ugh! You psycho!
Julia groaned and walked away, while Scary Girl continued to laugh.
Julia(confessional): I was not worried for Scary Girl, I just thought I lost a valuable ally!
Lauren(confessional): We all saw that. She was worried!
…
In the main hallway of the mansion, Julia walked past Bowie, who was filling his nails while leaning against a door to an unknown room. A few seconds later Raj walked in and smiled seeing his boyfriend.
Raj: Babe, I was looking for you! I started to think that they already killed you!
Bowie: Nah, when you and Wayne ran to check why Nichelle screamed, I got lost, BUT I found something!
The flamboyant moved a little and opened the doors he was previously leaning against. They were the same colors as the wall, so it would be very easy to miss them if not for the doorknob.
Bowie: It's a storage room and I don't think anyone else knows about it. There's not even a single camera in it, so I thought that maybe we could wait out this challenge there?
Raj: Ohhh, that's such a good idea! I will go get Wayn-
The boy was about to walk away before being grabbed by Bowie.
Bowie: No. Just us 2.
Bowie smiled in a flirty way, causing Raj to blush.
Raj: Haha, well…
Raj(confessional): Lately, me and Bowie were not spending as much time together as at the start of the game and an opportunity like that may not repeat itself!
Raj: …Yeah, sure!
The hockey player grabbed his boyfriend, pulled him into the storage room and quickly closed the doors behind them.
…
In the kitchen Julia was standing above the "body", she turned around, wanting to walk away from it, but instead she bumped straight into Wayne.
Wayne: Oh, hi Jules! I was looking for you!
Julia: Um, why?
Wayne: Well, I actually was looking for you, Lauren, MK, Rajie and Bowie. The rest of us are chilling in the living room, cause we're safe there!
Julia: Lauren is dead, so I wouldn't bother with looking for her. We went upstairs, because we thought we might be safe there, but I lost her for a minute and when I found her, she was "dead", so I came here.
Wayne: Uh, that's not good, but hey at least you're still in the game!
The girl just nodded, before walking past the boy right into the living room, with Wayne following behind.
Wayne(confessional): It's really hard to get a good read on Julia. Sometimes we talk and it's nice, but other times she just acts cold and distant for no seemingly no reason and it's just so confusing to me!
…
The duo walked right into the living room, where Axel was playing some melody on the guitar, Emma and Caleb were talking to each other, while Damien was getting some snacks. Nichelle, noticing the couple walked over to them with a worried expression.
Nichelle: Have you guys seen MK? She stayed behind, but she told me she will come here soon, but it's been like 10 minutes now.
Both blondes shook their heads.
Nichelle: Whatever, I'mma go look for her.
Wayne: If you see Raj or Bowie let them know we're here!
The girl nodded and walked out of the living room. Meanwhile Axel caught Julia's attention.
Julia: You can play the guitar? - Axel just nodded, causing Julia to look at her funny - How would that be useful in a zombie apocalypse?
Axel: Do you think that survival and zombie apocalypse is all that there is to me?
The blonde girl didn't answer that question; instead, she sat next to Caleb and Emma, with the girl being more giggly than usual, while the boy just looked annoyed and over this.
Emma: And then! - She giggled - And then, Chase missed the safety net and fell right onto the concrete! He couldn't walk for 2 weeks!
She started hysterically laughing, while her friend just sighed.
Julia: What's wrong with her?
Caleb: She kinda gets like this, when she has too much sugar.
Emma: Yeah! Sugar!
Emma(confessional): I used to be addicted to gummy bears. Every time I spent an entire night studying for a test and felt like I had no energy for school the next day, I ate like 5 packs of them. The next time I woke up, I didn't remember anything that happened after eating them.
Suddenly the girl gasped and grabbed Julia by her shoulders.
Emma: Oh my God, Julia! We neeeed to sing "Girlies just wanna have fun"! Come on!
Julia: You are so freakin' weird.
Emma stood up, before quickly getting pulled by Caleb.
Caleb: No. We all had enough of your karaoke for today. - He turned towards Julia - She sang through like an entire discography of Tyler Swift.
Emma: Buuut I wannnna sing moore!
Julia rolled her eyes, completely frustrated with the other blonde girl.
Julia: Oh my God, Caleb just take her to the master's bedroom Chris talked about.
The boy nodded and quickly grabbed the girl, holding her over his shoulder.
Emma: This almost feels like flying!
She raised her head and arms, resulting in her hitting the doorframe, when they were walking through it. Julia watched them with annoyance, when Wayne sat down next to her.
Wayne: Hey, smart idea to get rid of all the Screenwriters from here! Now all of them will be alone or at least in smaller groups, while all of us are here together!
Julia: What? Oh, yeah… I… Totally planned this.
Wayne: By the way, I just wanted to once again apologize for that kiss. Sorry if it made you uncomfortable or something.
The boy backed down a little, expecting another slap, but the blonde girl just sighed.
Julia: Yeah, whatever. It was for a challenge and it worked, so, let's just forget that it ever happened. Neither of us liked it and neither of us wanted it.
The boy looked down at the floor, visibly upset.
Wayne: …Yeah. Neither of us.
The girl looked at him, knowing that she messed up, before quickly looking the other way.
Julia(confessional): What the heck is wrong with all the people that are open with their feelings? Imagine liking someone and just being open and honest about it?! I think that should be classified as some kind of a mental illness, because it's definitely not normal!
Julia: …Caleb mentioned something about karaoke.
Wayne: Yup, earlier, before Chef "died", me, Raj and Emma were singing songs that the band was playing, but since they disappeared, Axel was just playing some random melodies.
Axel: Hey, if you want to sing, then just tell me the song.
The survivalist said overhearing their conversation.
Wayne: Oh, you heard Axel. If somebody wants to sing, then…
Before he could finish, Julia stood up and walked over to Axel and whispered something to the girl who nodded. At this moment Damien walked over to Wayne with a plate full of some snacks and sat down next to him.
Damien: I wouldn't expect you to like singing!
The influencer grabbed a microphone and rolled her eyes at Damien's comment.
Julia: Because I don't.
The girl's blunt answer confused the boy's since based on Axel starting to play on her guitar, it was obvious that the blonde girl was about to start singing, with the survivalist opening the song with a slow, but catchy riff.
Julia: I don't know what to do without you.
I don't know where to put my hands.
I've been trying to lay my head down.
But I'm writing at 3 a.m!
The song sped up with Axel now playing powerful chords. The camera pans to Damien and Wayne sitting flabbergasted by the song, but definitely enjoying it.
Julia: And while the whole world may see
That I've been the worst I can be, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see me.
Axel starts playing even harder with the song becoming much more rock-like. The camera once again pans to the boys who have wide smiles on their faces.
Julia: And the autumn comes
When you're not yet done
With the summer
Passing by, but
I don't think I could stand to be
Where you don't see m-
The song was suddenly interrupted by Nichelle barging into the room, screaming.
Nichelle: They killed MK!
…
Meanwhile, Caleb was tucking Emma into the bed, like a little kid.
Emma: Buuut, I'm not sleepy!
Caleb: Come on, Em, you really should take some rest.
She groaned, while he sat on the corner of the bed with a heavy look on his face.
Emma: Is everything alright?
Caleb: …Might as well tell you. I talked with Nichelle. If we lose this challenge, me, her and MK are voting for Bowie.
The girl gasped in shock.
Emma: WHAT?! No! Bowie is my friend, he-
Caleb: You two don't even talk to each other, unless the challenge requires it. You had weeks to mend the relationship between you two, but you didn't.
Emma: Be-Because-
Caleb: I'm sorry Emma, but there's no changing my mind. I advise you against voting with him and Raj. - He said that in a mildly threatening voice, before standing up - …I will go to the bathroom, I will be back in a minute.
Emma: Go piss girl.
She giggled a little bit, before her expression turned back to being upset, while Caleb walked out of the room.
…
After a quick cut, Caleb opens the door, while holding a pack of gummy bears in his hand.
Caleb: Hey, I know you're still upset, so I grabbed-
He looked at the bed, with Emma being nowhere in sight. He groaned seeing this, which caused him to not realize that someone else walked into the room.
…
Damien and Wayne were still sitting in the main room, but Julia and Axel were nowhere to see. The 2 boys were talking to each other.
Wayne: I didn't know that Julia has such a nice voice! - Damien nodded, before turning his head in the other direction and rolling his eyes. - Do you think she had someone on her mind while singing that song?
Damien(confessional): Is singing a song for your crush incredibly cheesy? Yes. Does every guy dream about their crush singing a romantic song to them? Also yes.
Damien: For sure! I bet her guy at home will feel so happy seeing his girl singing a song about him on such a popular show!
Wayne: Guy at home?
Damien: Obviously! "Autumn comes, with the summer passing by"? The first season started in summer, so mentioning autumn makes no sense if she talked about someone here.
Wayne: Ummm… Don't you think that it just happened to be the lyric in the song and it's really not that deep?
Damien: Just trust me bro. If Julia had in mind someone from the cast, which she didn't, she would change the words to make it make more sense.
Wayne looked down, visibly thinking about what Damien told him. The other boy smirked seeing that he's getting into the blonde boy's head and stood up.
Wayne: Hey, where are you going?
Damien: To the bathroom, I will be back soon, don't worry.
Wayne: Oh! Go piss girl!
Wayne chuckled to himself, while Damien just rolled his eyes and walked away.
…
Emma was sneaking down the hallway, when she heard a weird sound coming seemingly from the walls. She looked around, when she noticed a doorknob on one of the "walls". She pulled the door, causing Raj and Bowie to fall out of the storage room, mid make-out session, with the hockey bro being shirtless. For a few seconds the girl stared in shock before laughing hysterically.
Emma: Oh my gosh! I'm sorry! Sorry!
The two boys stood up and brushed off the dust from their clothes.
Bowie: Thanks for ruining the moment.
He rolled his eyes, meanwhile Raj looked panicked as he noticed a red stain on his shorts.
Raj: I will be back in a sec, I think that I may be bleeding.
He quickly grabbed his shirt and ran upstairs to the bathroom, to check himself. With Bowie and Emma now being alone, he turned his attention towards her.
Bowie: So, is everyone still alive?
Emma: I dunno! I was too busy eating gummy bears!
The boy looked puzzled hearing her answer.
Bowie: Riiight… Well, since we're here, alone, would you mind finally having that talk?
Emma: But what's there to talk about?
Bowie: Huh?
Emma: I was such an awful friend to you, I don't understand why'd you want to make up with me! And also you're probably getting voted out tonight, so, it's not like it's going to affect the game!
The boy's jaw dropped to the floor as the girl just shrugged and walked out.
Emma(confessional): Okay, I lied, there is one thing I remember happening after becoming gummy bear-high. I always become too honest and blunt. Oops.
Bowie(confessional): They can't vote me out! I'm always giving 100% in every challenge, I'm a team player and I tried to keep a good social game with everyone! What reason do they ha- …Ohhhh, Caleb! Hot guys in Total Drama are always the sorest losers, I should have known!
Emma passed by Damien, who just looked wide eyed at her, then at Bowie.
Damien: Wow, seems like you're in a tough spot, huh?
He chuckled to himself, gaining an angry look from Bowie.
Damien: Just joking, I'm just joking, man!
Bowie just rolled his eyes and sighed.
…
After a quick cut, the flamboyant walked to the living room, but there wasn't anyone else there. He sat down on the couch, looking defeated, when he suddenly heard laughter.
Julia: I loooove seeing you like that! What happened? Raj broke up with you? Emma told you she doesn't want to be friends anymore?
The boy rolled his eyes.
Bowie: And what's with you being so sunshine and rainbows? Is Wayne still blind to your awfulness?
He giggled to himself, causing Julia to get angry.
Julia: I don't understand why all of you are so obsessed with talking about me and Wayne. Get a hobby or something.
Bowie stood up from the couch and got right into Julia's face with the two of them having a stare-down.
Julia and Bowie: …I'm the killer, you're dead.
The 2 of them gasped in shock hearing this and groaned as they laid down on the floor.
Julia: Of course it's you! You were the last one to walk out of the card game, you saw the occasion and you took the cards incriminating you!
Bowie: Apparently spending so much time with you in the same room lowered my IQ, cause I didn't think about checking the cards of your team. I could have won this challenge, before it even began!
Julia: Can't blame me for YOUR stupidity!
The two heard footsteps and stopped arguing, not wanting to risk a disqualification. At this moment Emma walked in, coming from the kitchen.
Emma: Nichelle and MK are laying dead in the kitchen!
The girl looked around the room and gasped seeing the "dead" bodies of Julia and Bowie. Coincidentally, at this exact moment, Wayne barged in, coming from the hallway.
Wayne: Tons of dead bodies upstairs! Caleb, Raj, Lauren and Damien!
He also gasped seeing the bodies of Julia and Bowie. The 2 blondes looked at the bodies in front of them, then at each other, then at the buzzer.
Julia(confessional): This is so good! Wayne has to realize that me and Bowie killed each other at the same time and he will easily outspeed Emma and be the first to click the buzzer!
Bowie(confessional): This couldn't be better! Wayne is… dumb, so even if he will be the first to click the button, he won't guess it correctly, but Emma is one smart cookie, so she will definitely get it right!
The screen split to show closeups to determined expressions on faces of Wayne and Emma, the duo sprinted towards the button. The boy however, slipped over Bowie's body, causing Emma to laugh and lose her focus, resulting in her hitting the table with her stomach. Both of them took a moment to compose themselves, with Wayne being the first to do so. In the end…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
They clicked the button at the same time!
Emma and Wayne: The killer is Wayne/Emma!
Bowie and Julia stared at the 2 survivors of the murder party. Both of the killers were completely flabbergasted, their jaws on the floor, in contrast to Wayne and Emma, who both looked confident that they just won the challenge for their teams.
…
After a cut, all 11 teenagers were standing in front of Chris. Bowie and Julia were still the only ones who knew what happened, while Emma and Wayne continued to be unwarrantably proud of themselves.
Chris: I would never expect this to happen, but my congratulations to…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
No one!
Emma and Wayne gasped in shock, while Bowie and Julia rolled their eyes.
Emma and Wayne: WHAT?!
Chris: Yes, both of you are wrong! The killers were Bowie and Julia! And since both of you pressed the button at the same time… First, Screenwriters, we will be seeing each other tonight. After I'm done with you, I will be seeing Directors!
Everyone looked surprised and/or scared, no one expecting the double elimination. The most upset one was Wayne.
Wayne: I'm sorry team.
Julia: You should be! Thanks to you idiot, we're going to lose another member! Congrats.
Wayne: I'm really sorry, Julia.
Julia: As I said - You should be! I got almost everyone from the other team, except one dumb blondie and almost won us the challenge, but you had to fumble the bag.
Damien put his hand on Wayne's shoulder in a comforting way.
Damien: Julia, you're being unfair. Everyone could make that mistake.
Julia: Ugh, whatever.
The girl stormed off. The rest of her teammates looked at Scary Girl who just shrugged and followed her ally. When the two of them were far enough, Julia grabbed Lauren by her shoulders.
Julia: Why am I like this?!
Lauren: You grew up with parents that never showed love to one another or to you, so you don't know how to handle it?
Julia: I'm never asking you a rhetorical question, ever again - The influencer clutched her head - Now, I just feel…
Lauren: Bad about screaming at Wayne?
Julia: …How to not feel this?
Lauren: Apologize to him?
The girl took a moment to think about it, while Scary Girl walked away.
Lauren(confessional): The best thing about being friends with Julia is that I look normal in comparison to her! I can admit to sneaking into the boys' cabin at midnight just to watch Damien sleep and I still look more socially aware than her!
…
At the theater, Tired Screenwriters were all sitting, awaiting the voting. Nichelle, like usual, had a different wig on this, time half-up, half-down.
Chris:It's good to see you again!
MK: The pleasure is all on your side.
Chris: It is! Chef, if you may…
The war vet nodded and looked at the teenagers in front of him.
Chef: Let's start with the obvious - Emma, you're the reason, your team is here.
Emma looked down at the floor, clearly upset with herself.
Emma(confessional): I blame the gummy bears! I couldn't think clearly, all because of them! And now, Bowie or I may leave the game.
Chef: Bowie, you were the killer, but you spent most of the challenge by making out with Raj.
The 2 boys looked at each other and slightly smiled, with the hockey bros blushing a lot.
Bowie(confessional): If I leave the game today at least, I spent most of my last day with my super hot boyfriend.
Chef: MK, you were close to winning the card game, even limiting your pool of suspects to just Wayne, Axel and Julia, yet you didn't mention it to anybody.
The rest of her team turned towards the short girl, who chuckled nervously.
Chef: Lastly, Nichelle… Your scream started to become really annoying. - The actress just rolled her eyes - That's all. You're free to vote.
The first to vote was Raj, who then turned towards Bowie, looking saddened by his boyfriend being in danger of going home. The flamboyant was the next to vote and after he was done, he grabbed Rajie's hand in a comforting way. The camera then panned to MK, Caleb and Nichelle who all voted without hesitation. The last to vote was Emma who looked at Bowie, before casting her vote.
Chris: The results are in! Today safe are…
…
…
…
Emma!
…
Aaaand Nichelle!
He threw the golden Chris towards the 2 blonde girls. Nichelle looked happy, while Emma still was upset with the ongoing ceremony.
Chris: Next golden Chris goes to…
…
…
…
Raj!
The boy smiled slightly as he caught his statue.
Chris: …
…
…
…
MK, you're still staying with us!
MK: Sweet!
The girl caught her golden Chris. The screen split showing Caleb and Bowie, the first boy looked completely calm, while Bowie already accepted his fate.
Chris: The person going home today is…
…
…
…
…
…
Bowie!
Caleb smiled as he got his Chris. Bowie and Raj hugged each other for the last time, before Bowie stood up.
Bowie: Game respects game. Good luck guys.
He started walking towards the Red Carpet of Shame, before Emma stood up.
Emma: Wait!
The girl quickly walked over to him and hugged him.
Emma: Bowie, I voted for MK. I couldn't bring myself to vote for you. I'm sorry. For everything. For choosing Chase over us. For not apologizing earlier. For not noticing that Caleb was gunning at you. I really just felt like you deserve a better friend than me.
Bowie: I probably do, but I will take whatever I can.- He laughed at his joke - I just wish you said that earlier, so we could spend more time together.
Emma: I know. I'm sorry. Giving up on our friendship was my biggest mistake… Yes. Bigger than Chase.
The two shared a laugh, before Bowie reciprocated the hug. As he did it, he whispered.
Bowie: Ally yourself with the hockey bros. The merge is soon and you need more allies, while they need someone with above average IQ to lead them.
He let her out of the hug and the girl nodded, causing Bowie to smile.
Chris: That's sweet and all, but Emma, get going. Bowie, you don't need to take the walk now, you can wait until we're done with the 2nd ceremony.
The boy nodded, while Emma waved goodbye to her friend as she left the theater with the rest of the Screenwriters, passing by Directors who took their seats. Julia smirked seeing Bowie waiting in front of the red carpet and he just stuck out his tongue at her.
Chris: Time is running out, so no questions. Just get to the vote!
The 5 teenagers nodded. Damien and Axel exchanged looks, before voting. The next one to vote was Lauren, then Wayne who looked hesitant and lastly Julia. After she casted her vote she sighed and turned towards Wayne.
Julia: Hey, I… Listen, I'm not used to this, so just understand that I really mean what I'm about to say - I'm sorry. For how I've been treating you lately. The slap, calling you an idiot…
The blonde boy looked surprised, before quickly turning into regretful.
Wayne: I- Well-
Julia: Yeah, I also didn't know I'm capable of apologizing. - She chuckled to herself - I will try to… Get better. I guess.
The boy wanted to say something, but was interrupted by Chris.
Chris: And the results are in! The first golden Chris goes to…
…
…
…
Damien!
The boy grinned as he caught his golden Chris.
Chris: 2nd person safe is…
…
…
…
Wayne!
Being announced as safe didn't raise the boy's spirit, but it caused Lauren to lean towards Julia and whisper to her ally.
Lauren: Axel was supposed to vote for Wayne. Something is off.
Chris: Lauren, Axel, Julia. One of you girls will be going home today. That person is…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
…
Julia!
The blonde girl and her ally gasped as Axel and Lauren received their golden Chrises. She stood up, shocked to her core.
Julia: WHAT?! Lauren, what the heck?!
Lauren: Huh? I didn't vote for you!
The blonde girl stood completely still for a few seconds, before turning towards Wayne, who was hiding his face in his hands. The girl shook her head not believing it.
Julia: You?! I… I can't believe this! And to think I liked you!
Wayne: I didn't know you liked me!
Julia: I WISH I DIDN'T! Feeling angry is better than… Feeling whatever is this. - She clutched her head in disbelief - You know, honestly, my bad. I should have gotten used to the fact that every time I'm starting to let my guard down, I'm immediately getting stabbed in the back as a reward!
Damien and Axel looked at the situation, both visibly feeling guilty.
Damien: …You were a good player Julia.
Axel: If you made the merge, it would be hard to get you out.
Julia just rolled her eyes and started to make her way towards the Red Carpet, but not before being hugged by Lauren.
Julia: …Good luck Lauren… Or something.
The goth girl, let the influencer go. Bowie was laughing watching his rival leave the game.
Bowie: I may have lost the million, but at least I still have MY boyfriend!
The girl didn't answer him. Instead she just pushed him and walked all over him. Once she was walking down the carpet, someone threw a tomato at her, but she caught it with no problems and squashed it, while sending a death glare towards the intern who threw it.
Julia: Throw another one. I dare you.
No tomatoes were thrown, so the girl continued to make her exit. Bowie, still on the ground, looked at the situation, his eyes wide opened. He composed himself and quickly made a run for it, but the interns didn't go easy on him, resulting in some tomatoes hitting him. Lastly the camera panned to Wayne, who looked heartbroken as he watched it from his seat.
Chris: Chef's favorite and mine favorite going in the same episode, what a shame! They always made the show interesting! How are the hockey bros going to deal with the loss of their partners? Damien and Axel went from allies to enemies to allies again. Are they going to go back down to being enemies? Find out this and more in the next episode of Total. Drama. ACTION!

A day later than usual, but you guys have to forgive me, I was a little bit burned out. I literally wrote like around 20 google pages and proofread the episode today, I got so little work done on it this week. The next episode will also be late, cause I have an important test this week.
Let's get to the boots - One episode and my 2 favorite characters of the cast went home. Julia was the main character of the season up to this point. She has like 25 confessionals, which is a lot considering the fact that no one (except from the f5. All of them had 30+) last season had more than 20. She was my favorite character to write and my 2nd favorite character from the series (only after Heather), but I knew I couldn't let her win it. During the elimination ceremony, I wanted to bait you into thinking that it's Scary Girl going, so let me know if it worked! Bowie I loved on TDI, but I didn't enjoy writing him as much, idk why. I think it might, because he didn't have many interactions with Julia until this episode.
The song in the middle of the episode is "Francis Forever" by Mitski. I've kinda been obsessed with it lately and it kind of reminded me of Juliayne. I really wanted to have a musical challenge, but I had no ideas on how it could look, so I just put one song here, that would otherwise be in a musical episode.
The fake challenge was inspired by the card version of "Clue". I love that game. If somebody is confused about what happened during the challenge: The card game was rigged, so it would always lead to one of Screenwriters and one of the Directors playing the game, being the killers. Lauren was the first contestant to be killed, MK was killed right before Wayne found Julia in the kitchen, followed by Nichelle, Caleb, and Raj, and Damien were killed at roughly the same time. The "survivors" of the game were Wayne, Emma and Axel, she just wasn't with the "group" in the living room at the end.
Lastly, I would really appreciate feedback/reviews for this (and the last) chapter, cause I was really excited and hype to write them and so far, they are my favorites. Let me know who are you rooting for from the remaining players, if Julia's downfall was satisfying, if you guessed the killers and whatever are your overall thoughts on the chapter!
