Episode 09: Hurl and Go Seek
"Last time, on Total Drama Pahkitew Island!" Chris began along with the capstone theme, the opening shot of the island unusually showing it at night. The montage began with a flash, the first clip showing Cameron running into a tree while his team passed him by. "Alejandro established himself well with his new team," Alejandro was shown calming his baby in front of his team, "though Cameron bought none of it," Chris said over Cameron talking to Alejandro in the treehouse.
"My insane challenge-" Chef was shown blindly firing his pasta blaster- "put the teams in some crazy-" the Salmons paused in sudden fright as Cameron's baby started crying, waking up one of the nearby lions- "dangerous-" the Salmons, with the exception of Cameron, were catapulted backwards into the air by a large hidden panel- "situations," Chris explained, ending with a clip of both teams getting caught up in the short avalanche.
"Zoey managed to get along well with her new team," the host continued as Zoey was shown talking to Bridgette. "And the phone Alejandro stole from me decided to receive a phone call, courtesy of me," Chris said as Alejandro stopped running when he felt the phone ringing. "No honor among thieves," Chris laughed as the avalanche was shown again.
"Cameron wanted to get rid of Alejandro," Chris continued over a clip of Cameron talking to Jasmine during the third zone, "Alejandro wanted to get rid of Cameron," Alejandro confiding with Jasmine before the challenge was shown, "and Jasmine broke the tie by sending Cameron packing." Cameron was shown being launched out of the Cannon of Shame.
"We're halfway through the game," Chris said, the montage ending to show him standing at the elimination area, the starry night sky still behind him. "And only seven remain. Who's next to go? Just watch the show. It's time for Total! Drama! Paaaaaahkitew Island!"

A deep note played as the episode began, the music becoming low and trilling as the camera panned slowly and slightly to the right across the Bears' treefort. "Ssshhh, sleepyheads!" Chris said lightly over the camp loudspeakers, the camera moving to pan across the cave and move inside to show Tyler and Zoey sleeping on the floor and Bridgette and Leonard sleeping in rock pillars above. "I'm here to turn your dreams into nightmares!" The shot cut next to the Salmons' treehouse. "Picture yourself on a daaaaangerous island," he said, the music beginning to rise sharply as the camera cut into the house to show Alejandro and Sam sleeping soundly.
Chris blew his airhorn, shaking the barn and jolting the boys awake. "PSYCHE!" he said loudly as the shot cut to one of the loudspeakers.
"Aagh!" Jasmine yelled in pain as the shot cut to to show her sitting on her branch with her hands on her ears.
"You already are on a dangerous island!" Chris said with a laugh as the Bears were all woken up and frustrated with the loudspeaker. "Meeting area! NNNNOW!"
\
The scene flashed forward to a tired Bridgette walking up at the back of the pack of campers.
"What's so important you have to wake us up in the middle of the night?" Leonard asked.
"Is this supposed to be a night challenge?" Zoey griped.
"Can we go back to sleep now?" Sam asked sleepily.
The viewpoint shifted behind the cast to show Chris standing in the distance in front of a large red curtain. "The reason I called you here is because," the host began, "it's time to merge the teams. Consider yourself merged!" he said cheerily.
"And that couldn't have waited until the morning?" Jasmine asked.
"Hey," Chris shrugged impishly as the camera cut to his close-up, "if you guys don't want the Midnight Merger Meal, then fiiiiine. Just go back to bed!"
"You've never done anything nice for us!" Tyler shot back.
Chris shrugged angrily. "Fine. The lawyers called to say that feeding only one team every couple days is technically 'starvation'. So," the camera jumped back behind the campers, "this is a legally-enforced team merger celebration dinner." The curtain behind him rose to a grand theme, revealing a high-class dining area with a long covered table, high-backed red-and-gold chairs, as well as silver candelabras and chandeliers. The campers cheered in excitement.
The camera began a slow pan across the set-up. "It was gonna be gourmet pizzas, bison burgers, and sweet potato fries," Chris explained, the shot quickly reaching him at the far right end of the table – with Chef and a dining cart bearing a large covered dish. "But, the silk tablecloth and the silver candelabras put us waaaaay over budget. So, tonight, you'll be eating..."
A drumroll began as he motioned to the tray cover, the camera zooming in as Chef moved to lift it. "Juggy Chunks!" Chris announced, the drumroll ending in a short fanfare as the cover was lifted on a large glass pitcher of something...frothy, sickly green, and filled with what might have once been meatballs. It was bubbling rather like a swamp.
All seven campers gasped at once, recoiling in horror and disgust. "What is that stuff?" Bridgette asked.
"I've never heard of Juggy Chunks in my years of existing!" Alejandro chimed in.
"I have," Leonard spoke up. "They advertise this unusual product in commercials, and the Juggy Chunks make me want to vomit whenever I see them on my portable TV."
"Exactly, Leonard," Chris said as he walked over. "Not even animals would want to drink this stuff."
Confessional: Zoey
"Juggy Chunks is something I would never serve my pet hamster, Ms. Puffycheeks," Zoey said to the audience, "and she weighs more than Cameron."
Confessional Ends
"This fabulous dinner will be used as a pre-challenge," Chris explained, the campers now seated and Dakota handing out mugs of Juggy Chunks to each one – starting with Sam on the far right end, then Bridgette, then Alejandro. "The first player to finish their cup of Juggy Chunks will be safe from elimination." As he spoke, the shot cut to the far left end to show Jasmine and Leonard receiving their mugs, both looking warily at the bubbling substance. "Alright, everyone," they looked up and to the right and the focus moved back to Chris and Chef, "grab some chunks!"
Chef leaned in towards the host and whispered "This stuff expired in 1976!"
"Oh it'll be fine," Chris replied. "They're mostly meat, eggs, and mayonnaise, and I kept them somewhere very warm." He leaned back and smiled. "Ready? Set? Enjoy!" He took out his airhorn, and gave it a sharp blow.
The shot immediately cut to the mug of chunks in front of Jasmine, the camera panning up as she felt sick. "This is repulsive!" she criticized.
"I'd rather drink cabbage soup than this any day," Leonard remarked.
Tyler took one whiff of the 'dish' and immediately gagged.
Zoey gave him a worried glance. "Are you okay, Tyler?" she asked.
"I'm…I'm fine," Tyler gave a gulp and sickly nod in return.
Confessional: Tyler
"I'm not fine," Tyler moaned. "Drinking these Chunky Jugs is grosser than sleeping in a pile of dirty and smelly laundry," he said before getting determined. "That doesn't mean I'm giving up."
Confessional Ends
The static cut away to show Sam gulping, then taking a deep breath before taking a swig of the chunks. He put his mug down after a second and forced himself to swallow. "Not as bad as I thought it'd be," he remarked before taking another swig.
A couple deep notes played as the camera panned left onto Bridgette, who turned an uneasy look from the gamer to her 'meal'. She pinched her nose and took a swig of her own chunks, then belched wearily with slop still lining her mouth.
Confessional: Bridgette
"It's a good thing we weren't drinking the Juggy Chunks while upside down, otherwise I would've puked my guts out heavily with the Chunks making things worse," Bridgette shivered.
Confessional: Zoey
"I don't like eating strange food," Zoey griped, "but I reminded myself about who I was up against, so I decided to suck it up and… suck up the meal, I guess?"
Confessionals End
The challenge resumed with a shot of Zoey chugging her mug of chunks. After a few seconds, she lowered her cup and gasped for air. "This is horrible!" she exclaimed in disbelief.
"I'll say," Leonard replied, the camera panning over to show him finishing a chug of his own. "My LARP party friends would definitely use this as a punishment."
Confessional: Sam
"I don't know how Leonard's LARP parties go, but I'd be interested in attending one if we lived next door," Sam smiled.
Confessional Ends
The camera panned to Alejandro. He took a sip of his chunks, shuddered, then took another small sip.
"You're never gonna win immunity like that, Alejandro," Chris said as he walked by in the foreground. Alejandro sighed, then began to chug his mug of chunks.
He only lasted a couple seconds before his stomach rumbled ominously and Alejandro was forced to set his mug down, his slop-covered cheeks bulging. He looked to his left, and the shot cut to Sam taking another swig. "This stuff is pretty good!" he said brightly.
All Alejandro could do was shudder in disgust.
Confessional: Alejandro
"I've been dreading the eating competition because my body is my temple," Alejandro explained sadly. "And what temple keeper would contaminate this?" He took off his shirt and proceeded to flex his chest for the viewers.
Confessional Ends
The challenge resumed on a shot of Chris by the far left end of the table. "You kids are so disappointing," he said. "Need I remind you that with the teams merged, any of you could be voted out tonight unless you win immunity? Cause it doesn't look like you care."
"Done!" came the voice of Sam, the camera following everyone's sudden looks back down to Sam, his mouth covered in chunks as he raised his largely-empty mug.
"Sam wins the pre-challenge," Chris announced, the camera cutting outward to show Tyler still drinking on obliviously, "and has immunity."
"I won!" Sam cheered, and the rest all groaned in disappointment.
Confessional: Sam
"Chalk one up for the game guy. Sure, it wasn't easy, but me and old Iron Tummy didn't get banned from all the Barney Buffets in the tri-county area for nothing!" Sam stated as he looked at his stomach.
Confessional Ends
"Tyler! You can stop now!" Chris said, the shot cut in close to Tyler as he continued to chug.
He finished his 'meal', then stuck out his mug and turned it upside down, uttering a weak "Done!"
Confessional: Zoey
"I'm just glad that part is over," Zoey said in relief, "even if I didn't win immunity."
Confessional: Tyler
"I drank all that junk and I didn't win?!" Tyler ranted. "This is not unfair!"
Confessionals End
Alejandro walked over to Tyler, both teens now in front of the table. "I can't believe I lost this portion!" Tyler said angrily.
"Hey," Chris said, the camera following their gaze to the right to show him and Sam standing at the right end of the table. "You kept eating even after Sam finished. That is not my fault," Chris finished with a mocking smile.
Tyler moved to lunge towards Chris only for Alejandro to hold him back.
"Hold on, Tyler!" Alejandro told his former teammate. "You don't really want to harm him, right? Take deep breaths."
Tyler did as instructed and managed to cool down. "Sorry," he said. "I just wanted that immunity."
"If it brightens your spirits," Alejandro said, the camera pulling back to show his arm around Tyler's shoulder, "you drank everything in your cup. Unlike me, you went all the way."
"That makes me happy again," Tyler admitted. "Thanks, Al." The two walked over to join the rest of the losing campers, Bridgette glaring at Alejandro.
Confessional: Bridgette
"Alejandro is going down. And no, it's not because I'm jealous of him and Tyler," Bridgette claimed boldly. "I-I just know he's using him and I need to protect Tyler is all."
Confessional: Alejandro
"I noticed Bridgette staring at me back there, and she didn't look happy," Alejandro mentioned. "If I'm not mistaken, she must be on to me. I should take care of that."
Confessionals End
"Okay, on that note," Chris spoke up, the camera cutting outward to include him and Sam in the shot, "it's time to introduce our nighttime challenge: Hide, and Group Seek." The focus moved to him and Sam alone, and the background music became tenser. "Sam won immunity, so, he will be 'it'."
Sam pumped his fist. "Awesome!"
"Everyone will be given a head start to go and hide," Chris continued, "then Sam will come and hunt you down. Each person Sam finds," he explained as the camera panned slowly across the other campers, "and tags, joins him to search for the others. You hunt together," he emphasized. "No splitting up." The shot cut back to him and Sam alone. "Anyone tagged before sunrise will be on the chopping block at elimination. Anyone not tagged by then will also have immunity."
"What happens if all of them avoid me until sunrise?" Sam asked.
"Hmm," Chris said, the camera cutting back to his close-up as he began to think, "a surprisingly good question. In the unlikely event that Sam fails to tag anyone before sunrise, I'm gonna say that nobody gets immunity, not even him."
Sam shrugged. "That's the motivation I need."
"I'm glad you think so. Because I wanna shoot one of you kids out of the cannon later," Chris countered.
Confessional: Sam
"Personally, I don't care how many people I find," Sam said. "I only need to locate at least one person, and I'll get to maintain my immunity."
Confessional Ends
"Well, now that everyone's clear on what they're doing, it's game time!" Chris said delightedly. "Everyone but Sam," he took out his airhorn, "go hide!" A close-up showed his horn being blown, and a tense bit of music played as Jasmine, Zoey, Tyler, and Alejandro all ran off into the woods.
The focus moved to Leonard as he turned around. "I wish you luck in finding me," he said. "I am an excellent hider back home." He ran off, and the shot cut to Sam waving at him.
"We'll see about that," Sam said good heartedly before noticing something back on the left. "Hey, Bridgette?" The shot cut to the girl in question looking forward thoughtfully. "Are you gonna go?" he asked.
Bridgette looked up in surprise. "Oh, yeah, sorry. I was just thinking about some things. I'll get going." She ran off, and the camera moved back to show Sam smiling competitively.
Confessional: Bridgette
"I wanted to hide with Tyler. That way, I would be able to warn him about Alejandro," Bridgette lamented. "Unfortunately, Alejandro nabbed him, and with Jasmine and Zoey going off alone, I knew I needed to be with Leonard since he's growing aware of Al's true nature, and to be honest, I'm scared of being in the woods alone, especially when it's dark."
Confessional Ends
A low, plodding tune played as the scene resumed on Sam at the dining area, Dakota walking up to him. "Hey Sam," Dakota began. "The way you managed to drink those Juggy Chunks before anybody else was really impressive."
"Thanks. People don't give us gamers much credit, but we have the underdog power to surprise them," Sam claimed.
"You have a point there," Dakota nodded.
"You know, you can help me find the other campers if you want to," Sam offered. "As a way to get your mind off working."
"Definitely!" Dakota immediately agreed. "I've been wanting to do something else other than washing clothes."
"Two tech teens on the hunt for six campers? I'll allow it," Chris shrugged, "but don't forget you're still an intern, Dakota."
"I don't want to be back in the game anyway," Dakota said. "I'm just helping a friend out."
"Cool. So how long is that head start anyway?" Sam wondered.
Chris checked his watch. "Not short enough," he muttered. He walked to the left, then cleared his throat before yelling "Here comes Sam, featuring Dakota!" and blowing his airhorn again.
"The Tech Teens are on the hunt!" Sam declared. He gave a high-five to Dakota before the duo ran off.
"So the hunt begins," Chris said over a shot of Dakota and Sam running into the forest. "Anyone these two find before sunrise is up for elimination," he told the camera as it moved back to him.
\
The music became fast and intense as the scene flashed to Alejandro and Tyler running through the forest together. "I must say, I am glad the teams merged so we can work together," Alejandro said.
"Me too," Tyler said, the camera cutting in close. "I thought I'd be eliminated super early and never make the merge, but I proved myself wrong."
"And I congratulate you on that!" Alejandro smiled before becoming serious. "On a serious note, we have to be careful from here on out. We need the numbers advantage if we're going to vote off who we want."
Tyler nodded as the camera moved back to him. "I know that. We already have Bridgette and Leonard on our side, and Zoey too since she moved to my team."
"And that leaves Sam and Jasmine as the outsiders," Alejandro said. "We will have to convince the others to vote for one of them."
The camera cut outward to show the two teens disappearing into a dark, dense part of the forest...
\
A flash, and the view moved to Jasmine as she crept along through the woods. "The premise seems simple," she told herself, eyes searching around. "All I need is to avoid Sam, and I have to keep moving if I want to do that." The camera cut in closer. "I should find a safe place to hide. He may have slow stamina and can get buggered easily, but that doesn't mean I should doubt him."
The shot zoomed back out as Jasmine slowed down, a solemn look on her face. "But I did doubt Cameron going through the competition just because of his physical flaws," she said to herself. "If Justin tried to tell me that, I wouldn't believe him, so why did I let Alejandro convince me otherwise?" Jasmine pondered as she began to walk again.
"Am I being a hypocrite, or am I just doing what's best for me?" she added, the camera cutting outward just as her stomach growled ominously and she stopped in her tracks again, her complexion ashy and her hands clutching her stomach.
\
The scene cut away to show Zoey leaning with her back against a tree. "I can do this," she told herself. "I just need to know how I'm gonna win this challenge."
The camera jumped back and up several yards, looking down at her from the branch of a tall tree. She noticed it, and the shot cut back to her as she smiled. "I can hide in the trees?" A sudden gurgling from her stomach caused her to wince and double over. "Maybe I can't," she said weakly. "But I have to try!"
She grabbed the tree and began to slowly inch herself up its trunk and out of view. Only for the social seeker to fall out of the tree and onto her back with a groan.
\
The scene abruptly cut to Chris watching a live feed of Zoey on his widescreen TV. "Looks like Zoey just fell like a ton of 'em," he said as the capstone theme began. "Who'll successfully hide, and who'll take the cannon ride? Find out when we come back, to Total! Drama! Paaaaaahkitew Island!" A few storms clouds rumbled as the camera cut progressively outward.
\
(Commercial Break)
\
A deep note was struck as the episode resumed, the scene fading into a vacant stretch of forest. Leonard groaned as he and Bridgette walked on-screen from the right, both looking pale and sickly and ashy respectively. "Are you feeling as sickly as Gollum right now?" Leonard asked.
"I'm not going to lie, I am," Bridgette slowly nodded.
"We should find a place to hide so we can take a breather," Leonard said as the two came to a stop.
"Let's hide in that bush," Bridgette pointed off to the left; the shot quick-panned over to show a large bush.
The camera zoomed in slightly as Leonard and Bridgette walked up to it. "This should work," Leonard said weakly. "I think we moved fast enough before Sam started searching, so we should be safe for now," he said as he stepped into the bush.
"True," Bridgette nodded in agreement as she followed after Leonard, and the point-of-view promptly moved inside the bush to show the two together in the space between the branches.
"I know you and Tyler have an admiration for each other," Leonard pointed out. "When will you confess your feelings to him? Not to be creepy."
"Me and Tyler will have to get to know each other more," Bridgette replied. "It's all about taking things slow and not rushing to the finish line."
The two bumped fists...only for both of their stomachs to suddenly growl, causing them to groan in pain.
Confessional: Bridgette
"I've never felt any pain like this before, and it's not even a cramp from being in water before eating," Bridgette confessed, clutching her stomach painfully. "What was even inside that meal?"
Confessional Ends
The static cut away to show Jasmine sitting behind a bush, the background music low and slow and tense. A branch snapped somewhere in the distance, and the Australian girl started to gasp. She looked up at the top of the bush, and the camera moved over it to show Sam and Dakota standing several yards beyond it.
"Wherever you are, come out now!" Dakota called out. "You can't hide from us forever."
"We followed your footprints here," Sam cried out. "I don't want to take away your chance of immunity, but we can work something out."
The two walked along a path, and a sudden rustling to the side caught their attention, causing them to grin and silently creep over to a large bush. They paused when a pair of eyes looked out at them.
"Run, dude!" Tyler yelled, popping out of the bush with Alejandro. The two ran off, leaving the camera to linger on a grinning Sam and Dakota.
"There you are!" Sam said, the duo quickly chasing after their prey.
The camera pulled back and panned to the side to show Jasmine again, breathing a sigh of relief.
\
"Thanks for the info," Chris said, talking on his cellphone as the scene abruptly cut to him, Chef, and their television showing the challenge feed. The person Chris was talking to said something, and he replied "Very helpful." They said something else, and Chris ended the call. "Well, you were right," he told Chef. "According to the Juggy Chunks Poison Hotline, the kids should not have eaten expired Juggy Chunks. They might have severe nausea, vomiting, strange behavior, and, hallucinations!"
"And that makes you happy?" Chef asked in disbelief.
"I'm just impressed they have their own poison hotline," Chris replied. "That just shows you how much these Juggy people care," he added.
\
A deep, ominous tune played as the scene returned to a much paler Zoey, now sitting against a tree and clutching her stomach. "I feel so awful," she moaned before looking at her pale arm. "And look awful too."
"It's the drinks!" she continued as she laid on the ground. "They made my body weak, and that'll lead to Sam finding me quickly."
"I could give up here and then and call it a day, but if I do, I'll probably get voted off, and that won't avenge Gwen," Zoey said. "What would she do in a situation like this?"
Zoey closed her eyes in thought as her stomach growled. After a while, Zoey started to stand up. "She definitely won't back down that easily. She'd stay confident and strong-willed, and that's what I need to win this season!"
The redhead tore off a piece of her shirt, and wrapped it around her head, creating a headband. She then used her two fingers to pick up a trail of dirt and wiped them on her cheeks to create war marks.
"This may be pointless, but if it makes me look serious, I won't stop myself," Zoey spoke before looking both ways and running inside a bush.
\
The music turned fast and tense as the scene flashed back to Tyler and Alejandro running through the forest, both looking pale and sickly. "Dude," Tyler panted, starting to feel delirious, "I don't feel so good."
"Just keep running," Alejandro replied with a pant of his own before looking back over his shoulder. "They're catching up!"
"What?" Tyler replied as he slowly looked over his own shoulder, and the camera promptly panned back to the right to show Sam and Dakota running towards them.
"Hold on," Sam called out as he started to look pale, though Dakota was still feeling normal. "I don't want to do this all night!"
The shot cut back to Tyler and Alejandro looking at each other. "I can't run any more," Tyler admitted.
"I don't understand how we're getting tired this fast!" Alejandro responded.
"Maybe it's those-" Tyler began to say before the camera jumped outward, and the klutz slammed straight into a tree. Alejandro skid to a stop. "Junky Chugs..." Tyler groaned in pain.
Moments later, Sam slammed into the boys. "Got you," he said after the others groaned in pain. All three stumbled back away from the tree, and the shot cut in closer as they fell to the ground.
"Yes!" Dakota cheered as she came over. "You two have to help us now!"
"Tyler, Sam," Alejandro said weakly, "we must talk about tonight's vote."
The shot cut back outward to show Sam clutching his stomach and groaning in pain.
\
The shot cut to Chris watching the scene on his monitor. "You know," he said to Chef, "considering Sam drank every bit of the Juggy Chunks, I'm not surprised he's beginning to act weird. If Sugar was still here, she wouldn't feel a thing."
"That boy's been trying harder ever since we took away his game consoles," Chef said, and the camera panned out to show him playing on Sam's GameGuy.
\
"Urgh," Jasmine groaned as the scene moved back to her holding her stomach. "This food poisoning is making me feel like a rat, but I can't stop now." She started running towards the right without paying attention to her direction, and her viewpoint showed a tree in front of her.
A metal clang resounded through the woods as a side shot showed Jasmine colliding with it. She stumbled back a few steps...and a strange panel of what looked like bark trembled, then dropped clear away. "What the...?" Jasmine mumbled as the camera zoomed in on the strange circuit board that was underneath.
"Cameron would be able to figure this out," Jasmine muttered as she looked up and down the strange portion of the 'tree'. "He's been researching this island, and this would definitely peak his interest."
A sharp note played as she stood straight up with a sudden jolt, a painful growl from her stomach quickly causing her to double over. "Oh no..." she began before her cheeks suddenly bulged, and she vomited onto the exposed circuitry causing it to spark and smoke. "I just chucked up on that...," the Outback girl finished, collapsing to her hands and knees.
Jasmine groaned in pain again, and rolled onto her other side. The music rose up ominously, the camera panning onto the sparking circuitry of the exposed 'tree', then outward and upward to show lightning flashing from the storm clouds that had been gathering, and rain beginning to fall...
\
The scene flashed to Bridgette and Leonard standing up out of the bush they'd hidden in, the music still tense and the rain now pouring. "I think we can find a better place to hide," Bridgette said in pain.
"We have to leave while we still can...," Leonard said, and the two started trudging off to the left.
\
Another flash took the scene back to Dakota, Sam, Alejandro, and Tyler. "You want Bridgette gone?" Sam asked weakly as he led the group through the rainy woods. "Why?"
"She's one of the biggest threats here," Alejandro responded. "And considering that Jasmine and Zoey have better chances of hiding from us, we can spot Bridgette easily."
"I see your point there," Sam admitted. "Tyler, how about you?"
All Tyler could do was laugh dopely. "London Bridge is falling down!"
"Is he okay?" Dakota questioned.
"He's suffering from the Juggy Chunks. He'll get better soon," Alejandro said. "But we've got his vote."
"Okay. Let's keep moving then," Dakota replied.
\
"As morning grows closer," Chris said as the scene cut back to him and Chef watching the live feed, the long-banged intern holding an umbrella over him, "this challenge is getting reeeeally entertaining. I wonder if there's a way to accidentally poison these kids before every challenge?" he asked aloud.
Chef gave a light groan of disgust and disappointment.
"No?" Chris asked him. "Meh, you're probably right. It would lose its charm after a while."
\
The scene flashed to Leonard and Bridgette sitting on rocks in the mouth of a cave. The sound of splashing water and tired groans caught their attention, and Bridgette looked to the right. "Bad news," she said, standing up. "The others are coming!" The camera quick-panned to the right, showing Sam, Dakota, Tyler, and Alejandro trudging towards them through the rain. "We have to leave!" Bridgette told Leonard as the shot cut back to them.
"But of course," Leonard groaned and tried to stand up, but immediately sat back down. "I'm not feeling so good."
Bridgette grabbed Leonard by the arm. The camera pulled back as she tried to drag her friend out of the cave.
The camera cut back to the hunters. "We've almost got them..." Dakota said, and the boys grunted.
The camera panned back to Leonard and Bridgette, the music becoming tenser as the hunters arrived moments later, and Dakota touched both teens. "There," she panted. "We have Zoey and Jasmine left."
\
A grand and dramatic song began to play as the scene flashed to a foot splashing in a puddle, the camera pulling back to show Zoey running towards the right despite her sickness. "Okay," she panted, "Sam's probably tagged just about everyone by now. If they're all looking for me, then I just need to go back to camp so they won't expect me."
"Zoey..," came a familiar voice that made her freeze in mid-step. She turned around, and saw Jasmine walking up to her.
"Jasmine," Zoey said. "Are you here to tag me, because I will run away from you."
"I haven't been found yet," Jasmine said. "And why are you wearing a headband?"
"It's my new style as 'Commando Zoey'," Zoey told the tall girl.
"New style? Commando Zoey?" Jasmine raised her eyebrows in disbelief. "Did those drinks do something to you?"
"Of course not," Zoey said. "I just got motivated and didn't want to look weak."
"Where are you even going to hide?" Jasmine wondered.
"I'm not going to hide," Zoey claimed. "I'm going back to camp so the hunters won't find me until it's too late. You can come with me if you don't want to lose."
"Thanks for the offer, but I'll be fine on my own," Jasmine declined. "I'm going to find a tree that's difficult for the others to climb up."
"If you say so," Zoey shrugged. "Some of us are athletic enough to climb trees, so they might reach and tag you."
"I already know that, hence why I said "difficult"," Jasmine replied. "I'll just have to avoid them until it's dawn."
"Good luck with that," Zoey nodded. "I don't want to see a worthy girl like you get shot out of a cannon." She ran the opposite direction from Jasmine, who watched her with concern.
Confessional: Zoey
"I gave her a choice to stick with me, but she refused to," Zoey said. "I'm not going to be bitter towards Jasmine. She's a strong player, and I'd like to work with her in the future."
Confessional Ends
The static cut to Jasmine running through the woods...until her stomach grumbled painfully, causing her to stumble, trip over a rock, and fall face-first into the mud. "Gross, but I can't quit now." She stood up and wiped the mud off her face.
Moments later, Dakota and the poisoned campers arrived. "There she is!" Sam cried out.
"Oh no you don't!" Jasmine growled fiercely. Spotting a tree next to her, she used her long legs to boost herself up at the top of the tree. "Try catching up to me now!" she taunted.
"Where's Zoey then?" Sam asked. "We can go find her."
"I'm not telling you," Jasmine said. "It'll be too late anyway since it's almost..."
Chris stuck his hand in front of the camera and blew his airhorn.
"Dawn...," Jasmine finished as the others groaned.
"Game over!" Chris announced as a light but victorious tune played, stepping into view with a smile on his face. "Jasmine and Zoey have also gained immunity! Now, everyone back to the meeting area," he told the campers, the shot refocusing on them as he walked away. "We need to pump your stomachs..."
The losers groaned again, and the camera cut to Jasmine as her mouth burged, and afterwards, she puked below her, covering the teenagers with her vomit and grossing them out.
\
The usual elimination theme began to play as the scene moved ahead a little while, the rain long gone and the sun just peaking above the horizon. "Jasmine, Zoey, and Sam won their immunity," Chris said before the shot cut to the firepit, all seven campers waiting on the seats. "And, after the voting, Leonard and Tyler are safe," Chris continued, the two in question catching the marshmallows tossed their way. "That leaves Bridgette and Alejandro," he said, the shot briefly cutting to him and Chef before returning to the campers.
Confessional: Bridgette
"If everything goes as planned, it'll be a 4-3 vote and Alejandro will be gone," Bridgette declared.
Confessional: Sam
"Sorry Bridgette, but I have no other choice left," Sam confessed.
Confessional Ends
"It was close," Chris said as he held up the marshmallow and the shot cut to Alejandro and Bridgette watching nervously. "But tonight's loser is… Bridgette!"
"Gracias!" Alejandro cheered, catching the final marshmallow.
"How did I get the most votes? I didn't vote for myself," Bridgette said in shock.
"It was a 4-to-3 vote, and you were the majority," Chris claimed.
"I didn't vote for Bridgette," Leonard said.
"Me neither," Zoey added.
After hearing those words, Tyler groaned heavily. "Bridgette, I'm so sorry. I must've said your name by accident when I was voting."
"What's that supposed to mean?" Bridgette felt confused.
"Tyler was feeling delirious from the meal and couldn't think straight," Alejandro confirmed. "That's what resulted in his error."
"He's right," Tyler said sadly, tears coming out of his eyes. "I didn't mean to vote you out, but if you want to hate me, then I don't blame you for it."
Bridgette saw the sadness coming out of her crush, and without hesitation, she hugged Tyler.
"I forgive you, and don't worry. We'll see each other again. Don't let this get you down," Bridgette comforted the weeping jock.
Tyler wiped away his tears. "I won't, and I'll make up for my mistake," he promised.

The static cut to the Cannon of Shame, the somber farewell theme starting up in the background.
Bridgette settled herself as the focus was on her. "I did the best I could on this island, and even if I didn't win, I'm proud of myself for making it to this point."
"Aaaand," Chris said as the focus moved to him and his remote, "that's enough of that." He pressed the button, and Bridgette was shot into the night.
The camera panned back onto Chris as he watched her go, then turned to face the camera as the capstone theme began to play. "Well, Bridgette is gone," he said, "and it might seem wrong, but it is what it-" the camera abruptly cut to the fake tree with the exposed circuitry that Jasmine had vomited on during the challenge; it was still sparking, and the host paused as the background music started to warp, and the circuitry burst into flames. "...is?" he finished as snow began to fall.
A cold, snowy wind blew past him as the shot cut back to Chris, and the background music continued to warp and distort. "Who's next, to-" Chris tired to continue, pausing when a rock, a stump, and a bush nearby suddenly lowered into the ground and were replaced by a small shrub, a tall pine tree, and a greener bush. "To...to...," he watched in utter bewilderment as the snow stopped and a small tornado passed by in the background, "cannon?" he said with a wide smile and an almost helpless shrug. Several small rocks suddenly jutted out of the ground around his feet.
"Um, yeah," he said quickly. "Here, on Total!" The camera jumped backward to show him standing by the Cannon of Shame. "Drama!" The shot jumped outward again to show more of the island...including the offshore rocks which were now jerking up and down on pistons, one of the high curved hills being suddenly replaced by a tall craggy mountain, and a few large spires of what looked like ice abruptly jutting out from the sides of the island at odd angles. "Paaaahkit..." Another jump-cut showed the entire island, numerous mountains and spires and other rock formation popping up and disappearing at random, the music now so loud and distorted that it was completely unrecognizable.
"WHAT THE HECK IS GOING ON?!" Chris yelled.

Merge: Alejandro, Jasmine, Leonard, Sam, Tyler, Zoey
Author's Note: Originally, someone else was to be eliminated here, but Bridgette took their spot since a certain plot needed to happen and Bridgette generally makes it far in other shuffled stories.
