Episode 05- Not Quite Famous

"Last time on Total Drama Island." Chris recapped. "The Screaming Gophers were finally able to get a win in a close match against the Killer Bass. There were bruises, tears, risky moves, and dangerous alliances. But in the end, it was Tyler the sports jock, who didn't see it coming. This week another challenge will send one more camper off on a cruise to loserville, population 4. Who will sink and who will stay afloat? Find out right now on Total…Drama…Island."

(Opening Theme)

(The theme started with many cameras and lights shown all around the camp, with a few animals resting on the camera. A sudden cue card is made as the camera goes through the cabin showing the sign Wawanawkawa, the cabins, and the host drinking coffee on his chair.)

Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin fine

(The camera immediately flies up to the cliff and plummets down into the water. Two buoys can be seen, a small one and a big one.)

You guys are on my mind

(Zee is in the water swimming away from a shark who is chasing him. The shark manages to bite off his prosthetic leg. The shark immediately coughs and spits the prosthetic leg out and an already swallowed fish floats onto the surface.)

You asked what I want to be, and I think the answer is plain to see

(Damien and Topher peacefully paddling in their canoes smiling, until both of them saw the floating dead fish. An eagle ends up coming down and swooping the eaten dead fish.)

I wanna be famous

(The eagle flies away into the sunset and drops the fish. The scene pans to Dawn meditating with many animals surrounding her, when the dead fish drops on her. She and the animals scurry away in fear. The camera zooms out to show Duncan laughing at the scene and showing Courtney disapproving of his laughing, making him stop.)

I wanna live close to the sun

(The scene changes to a waterfall, where Leshawna and Heather are fighting with each other on their canoe. Both don't notice the incoming waterfall until it's too late and both girls fall over the edge.)

Well pack your bags, cause I already won

(The scene pans to Harold who is practicing his "mad skills" on a very unstable log a bit down the waterfall. Until Tyler, swinging on a vine accidentally collides with him, both flying off.)

Everything to prove, nothing in my way

(The camera follows Harold and Tyler as they slam into the outhouse. Lindsay, who was inside the outhouse, ends up in the collision forcing the door open.)

I'll get there one day

(The camera moves inside the Mess Hall where Chef has his arm in a pot that is a very weird, unnatural type of green as he smirks. He looks back to a terrified Cameron and Staci who are both tied up. They give each other a scared glance. On the other side of the table, Priya and Lightning are doing arm wrestling. Priya beats Lightning and cheers, while Lightning just looks in annoyance and frustration.)

Cause I wanna be famous

(The camera zooms outside to show Noah trying to read a book while Ella is trying to sing a song for him, greatly annoying him.)

Na nananana nanananana nananananana

(The camera pans to the dock where Alejandro is admiring himself with a mirror. On the other side you can see his reflection, he showed a very dark grin to the camera. Meanwhile in the water a seagull with a net wrapped around his neck floating around. A shark leaps up and eats a fish in midair, the seagull seems in the clear until a tentacle grabs it and takes it under the water.)

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

(The camera pans to Dakota who grabs the camera and gives it a kiss. An intern immediately wipes the mark off. She proceeds to type something into a phone, almost instantly a paparazzi appears and snaps photos of her while Dakota poses in all types of stances.)

I wanna be, I wanna be, I wanna be famous

(Suddenly an unknown man splashes a bucket of water and Dakota in midair, scaring away the paparazzi. Dakota looks up in frustration. The man is none other than Chris Mclean who smirks as the gleam of his smile turns into one of the stars in the night sky. The camera pans down to Brick and Sammy about to share a heartfelt kiss, until Amy interrupts, by glaring at Amy, making both Brick and Sammy embarrassed. The camera zooms out to show the other campers whistling awkwardly for the last few seconds of the song.)

The scene opened up to the Gopher girls cabin, where Amy was sleeping peacefully in her bed, until she heard the noise of a certain blonde.

"Ok, this is so way beyond bad." Lindsay complained. "I'm out of fake tanner already."

"Wow, I wish I cared enough about this." Amy rolled her eyes.

"Now I have to actually suntan, like in the sun." Lindsay told the girl. "Do you realize how shriveled and wrinkly it can make your skin." Lindsay lifted up Amy's arm and took a good glance at the mole on her cheek. "Oh, you totally do."

At this point Amy was annoyed and irritated with Lindsay but she wouldn't have time to react to Lindsay's comment.

The airhorn started, frightening a bird that had nested on top of it. "Alright campers, enough beauty sleep." Chris announced. "It's time to see what you're made of."

The remaining campers were all gathered up at the amphitheater, both teams were sitting on their respective teams' bench.

"Are we going to see a musical?" Lindsay asked her fellow Gopher girls. "I'd love musicals, especially the ones with singing and dancing."

"Hey Sammy, I saved you a seat." Brick called.

"Thanks." Sammy said with a faint blush; however, she noticed something wrong with his arm. "Brick? What happened to your arm?"

"Oh this, I fell out of bed this morning, ended up twisting my arm." Brick sheepishly responded. Sammy laughed in a good way, making Brick feel much better.

"Welcome to our brand new, state of the ark, amphitheater, ok this week's challenge is a summer camp favorite, a talent contest." Chris announced.

"Sweet!" Zee commented.

"Each team has eight hours to pick their three most talented campers. "The host continued, while Lightning and Harold fist bumped. "These three will represent them in the show tonight, sing, dance, juggle, anything goes. As long as its legal." Chris pointed to Duncan who snapped his fingers in disappointment. You'll be judged by our resident talent scout, former DJ, VJ, and rap legend, Grand Master Chef, who will show his approval via the Chef-O-Meter, the team that loses will send one camper home, tonight, good luck."

The Gophers were patiently relaxing, until Heather blew her whistle to get their attention. "Ok." She started. "I'm the team captain, so here's how it's gonna work."

"Hold on, who made you team captain girl?" Leshawna asked.

"She did just now." Lindsay replied.

"Lindsay, Ella, and I took a vote, and I won." Heather told Leshawna.

"Is it just me or threatening them to vote for you, doesn't seem all too democratic." Noah commented. He didn't look up from the book he was reading.

"Zee." Heather said, getting the stoner's attention. "You're cool with me leading this project, aren't you?"

"Yeah, I'm cool with it." Zee shrugged.

"Good, Ella, Lindsay, and I will be the judges." Heather said. Lindsay and Ella did a small cheer. Leshawna and Noah rolled their eyes.

Meanwhile the Bass weren't having much luck with their talents. For her talent Dawn was reading people's auras.

"Ooh, can I go next?" Dakota asked. Dawn silently nodded.

"Your aura is a very light pink, you seek to find fame, but underneath all you want to find is love, which you soon will." Dawn explained to a mind blown Dakota. The others glanced at each other, all creeped out.

On the Gophers side, Zee was getting ready to show his talent, by warming up, much to the annoyance of his team.

"Uh, hello, we don't have all day, Zee." A frustrated Heather told him.

"I call this the Z- Shuffle." Zee told the Gophers. He proceeded to do multiple dance moves, such as the robot, the worm, the shuffle, and more. Some of the Gophers cringed, others were impressed.

"That was very impressive." Alejandro said, giving him a fist bump.

"Well just doing random dance moves won't help us in the challenge." Heather defended.

"But-" Zee tried to reason.

"No, no she does have a point, we need something more unique, sorry amigo." Alejandro patted his back, Zee frowned.

On The Bass side meanwhile, things weren't looking good for them. Topher was the next one up on the team.

"Get ready for the Topher experience." Topher started, he proceeded to pose, specifically showing his butt to the camera. The Bass cringed.

"Man, that is weird." Chris commented.

The Gophers were having more luck with their talents. Heather was gracefully showing her ballet skills to her teams, when she finished an amazed and impressed Gophers clapped. "Thank you." She told her team. Her allies were clapping, until Heather coughed for their attention.

"Oh, I vote Heather to be in the contest." Lindsay replied.

"I agree." Ella added.

"Guys that's so sweet." Heather was faking to be sweet. "Ok, so I guess I'm in. Why doesn't everyone take five?"

On the Bass, Lightning was up. He was showing off his strength by lifting many things, such as heavy logs and branches with ease. Most of the Bass were impressed.

"Fine. Sign him out." Courtney gave in. "Next."

"Ooh, me." Priya volunteered. Priya began to do multiple somersaults and flips in the air, impressing the Bass. When she finished, she got multiple rounds of claps.

"I can do it sha better." Lightning mumbled.

"That was really good, sign her up, next." The next one up was Harold; he took a deep breath getting ready. "Next." He inhaled out, not being able to show his talent.

"So, Zee?" Brick started. He and Noah were sitting on the steps of the Gophers boys challenge alongside Zee. "Not trying to be disrespectful, but how did you lose your leg?"

"Never bungee jump from a helicopter, into a piranha pit, I learned my lesson the hard way man." Zee told them.

"Why would you do that?" Brick asked. "It's a dangerous stunt that could've killed you, soldier."

"Dude, what did you expect it's Zee." Noah told Brick.

" I guess you have a point." Brick agreed.

"Ok, so I guess we're doing Lightning's lifting, Priya's gymnastics, and your solo." Topher said, pointing to all 3 of them.

"Yes, Lightning's in. Sha Bam!" Lightning cheered, but accidentally punched Topher in the face, knocking him out. "Uh my bad bro." Topher just groaned.

The next talent on the Gophers were Sammy and Amy's cheerleading routine. At first it seemed to be going well, however Sammy tripped on one of the small pebbles, sending Amy and her to the ground.

"Thanks a lot for messing up, Samey." Amy told her. Sammy just sighed.

The next audition was Alejandro. He began his talent by doing a flip, he landed on his hands, with his legs in the air. The Gophers were shocked."

Confessional

Noah- "How can a man be that flexible?"

Alejandro proceeded to run backwards, doing multiple flips in the air, landing on his feet, his team immediately clapped for his performance. Leshawna walked over to the charmer and offered him a bottle of water. Alejandro gladly accepted taking off his shirt and taking a drink out of the bottle, leaving one drop to land on his chest.

"Ok." A stunned Heather said. "So, I think it's me, Ella, and Alejandro. Any objections." The stunned Gophers shook their heads.

Hey, Sammy?" Brick walked up to Sammy, who had just excited the Gopher girl's cabin.

"Hi, Brick." Sammy greeted.

"I was wondering?" Brick sheepishly asked. "If you would want to go for a swim?

"Oh sure, let me just get dressed." Sammy responded, seconds later she exited the cabin in her bathing suit. As Sammy and Brick walked away chatting, the camera zoomed into the background, showing Heather, Lindsay, and Ella talking about something.

"Ok, we need to discuss who we're voting for tonight." Heather told her alliance members. "And I know just who!" A curious Alejandro hid behind one of the Gopher cabins, overhearing everything they were saying.

"We should vote Alejandro!" Heather told her allies.

"But, why Alejandro, he's by far the sweetest person on the island." Ella said.

"I don't like him, he's too charming and suspicious, plus if we get rid of him now, we might be able to take control of the team." Heather argued.

"But." Lindsay tried saying.

"But I can just find another alliance to take to the final three." Heather threatened, as Ella and Lindsay had to nod in agreement, as they split up from one another.

"Ah, so that's how she wants to play it." Alejandro said. He seemed a bit frustrated.

Confessional

Alejandro- "I've learned a lot of information from that conversation. But for now I should keep this all to myself. I'm coming for you and your alliance Heather!"

The Bass were getting their team members prepared for their performances on the stage, already planning ahead for the challenge.

"So, you're a famous poser?" Topher asked. He noticed the girl had posed many times across the last few challenges.

"Oh. Y-yes I am" Dakota lied.

"For a famous model, I've never heard of you before. Topher told the girl.

"I can show you some of my poses, I do for the paparazzi." Dakota said, as she started posing in different ways, smiling at the camera. This got the attention of some of the Bass, however by accident, Dakota tripped on one of the wires, loosening it for a camera to fall on Courtney who was peacefully playing her violin. "Oh no."

After some minutes, Courtney had recovered, with only a small concussion to the head, she was being comforted by Priya and Dawn. However, her violin had broken into pieces. Dakota walked to Courtney to apologize.

"You-You killed my violin. Courtney said, trying to hide the tears.

"I'm sorry, I was trying to pose." Dakota reasoned. "Maybe there is a way we can fix it." Dakota tried to fix Courtney's violin; however, it only made it worse, making the broken pieces even smaller. Courtney wailed at this.

"Sometimes I just wanna get away from everyone, especially Amy." Sammy and Brick were both sitting on the dock.

"Everyone?" Brick questioned.

"Maybe not everyone." Sammy responded. She and Brick both blushed at the response.

"Hey, my hose works finally worked." Zee pointed out, ruining the moment, he had sprayed Brick with the hose on accident. "Oh, sorry dude .I didn't see you there. I can go get some toilet paper."

"Thanks, but I'll just go dry off at the washrooms." Brick told him

"Nice, thanks." Zee said patting Brick's arm. He would accidentally pat Brick's twisted arm. He screamed in pain.

Confessional

Brick- "Sammy's a really sweet and cool girl. Me and her can talk to each other about our personal lives, without making it awkward, and that makes me feel…good." Brick scratched the back of his head.

All the contestants, competing in the talent show, were practicing their talents backstage. The Bass had to decide, who they were choosing for their third member, after Dakota broke Courtney's violin.

"How are we going to find a third member now?" Dakota asked Courtney. "We don't have enough time."

"I'll do it." Damien walked up to the two.

"But Damien, you don't have enough time to practice." Courtney told him.

"Yo relax, I've done this multiple times, what's the worst that can happen." Courtney and Dakota gave each other a hopeful glance.

"It's the TDI challenge, extravaganza." Chris announced. "Welcome to the very first, Camp Wawanakwa, talent contest, where six campers will showcase their mad skills and desperately, try not to humiliate themselves, first up from the Screaming Gophers is Alejandro."

To start off his talent, Alejandro took off his shirt, stunning the girls.

"Woah." Zee commented, he noticed the girls, staring at Alejandro's chest. "Al's got, game."

"It's the power of charming, never ceases to impress me." Noah told him. He noticed Alejandro's eye twitched, he questioned this.

Back on stage, Alejandro proceeded to do a flip, landing on his hands, similarly to his talent. He jumped back into the air, doing one last backflip, as he landed on his feet. He got multiple cheers and claps for his performance.

"I don't know how you did that." Chris started. "But dang, you've got some moves dude." The Chef-o-meter, on the screen, showed that Alejandro's score was a 7/9. "First up for the Killer Bass, make some noise for our competition trainee, Priya."

Priya walked on stage, ready for her gymnastics talent. She started doing multiple flips in the air, impressing her fellow competitors. However, while she was performing her talent, Priya tripped on a loose wire that had somehow been left on stage., causing her to fall. The others cringed at this.

Skillful, yet clumsy, lets see what Grand Master Chef thinks." The Chef-O-Meter, gave her a 4/9. "Not much."

Confessional

Priya- "I can't believe I messed up my talent. Mom, Dad, I know you covered this in my training, but I don't think you trained me to avoid loose wires.

"So, with two down, and four acts to go, it's the Killer Bass, swimming ahead." Chris announced. "Next on deck, Ella"

Ella walked on stage, with nothing but her voice "This song is for my dear competitors." She started singing.

"They say we're enemies, rivals even"

"But we say, we're a family"

"So, although, we have our differences"

"And we have our different challenges"

"At the end of the day"

"We have each other's backs, to the very end"

Both teams respectfully clapped at her performance, appreciating the meaningful song that she played for them.

"Nice work." Chris commented to Ella. "I really liked that style, and by the looks of it, so does Grand Master Chef." Grand Master Chef rated the performance a 5/9. "Three down, and three to go, and the Killer Bass are totally losing right now, let's hear it for Damien."

Damien walked onto stage. He was pushing a heavy table, with many different chemicals, and ingredients, on top of it. "Today, I'm gonna show you all how to make a special chemical formula that is one hundred percent safe." Damien started putting in different tubes of ingredients, in a special cup, he held it up when he finished.

"And voila, I call this-" Before he could finish, his cup caught on fire. "FIRE!" The fire caught on Damien, who dropped the cup, setting the whole stage on fire. The campers freaked out.

"My stage!" Chris exclaimed. "Chef, quick get the fire extinguisher." Chef obeyed his orders, and quickly ran to grab it.

"No, no, no, no ,no, this wasn't supposed to happen." A worried Damien said.

Confessional

Damien- "From trying to jump off a 1,000 ft cliff, to almost burning someone's stage, I'm done with this show. So the next time we lose, I'm voting myself out."

"In the meantime, while me and Chef try to extinguish the fire" Chris started. We'll take a short break to calm the chaos."

The camera changed to a short little commercial break, showing a happy, and pipe smoking man, ironing his clothes.

"Welcome back to the TDI extravaganza." Chris resumed. The stage had recovered greatly, but there was still some burnt part of the curtains that could be seen. "Okay, so in a strange turn of events, Damien's science fail act, registered four thumbs up, from Grand Master Chef, but its not enough to pull ahead of the Screaming Gophers, who hold the lead with Alejandro's talent. So without further delay, here she is for the leaders...Heather!"

Heather walked onto the stage and started performing ballet, for her talent she did many twirls, and leaps, in the air, showing her skill. She finished with a round of applause, and a total of a 5/9 by Grand Master Chef.

"Well, then it's down to the final act of the night. Can Lightning and his lifting turn it around? I seriously doubt it. Let's find out."

Back stage, Lightning was practicing lifting the logs, until he dropped them, the logs split apart ruining his talent. "Sha dang, my muscles are so strong, they were able to break the logs." The others rolled their eyes.

"What do we do now?" A panicked Dakota asked. "If we can't send someone out there, we'll lose the challenge."

"Let's see." Courtney started. "Topher and Dawn's talents would weird the judges out."

"Well, that leaves only Duncan and Harold, and what can Duncan do again?" Dakota asked.

"Carve a picture of his own skull, into a tree, what are we going to do?" At this point there was only one option left. The two girls peeked their heads from out of the curtains to see Harold, who was pulling at his underwear.

"Just go for it Harold." Courtney said, to a confused Harold, who was blankly standing on stage.

"There's no pressure Harold, don't worry." Dakota said, lying. " Just imagine the paparazzi watching you."

Harold stood by the mic, and started beatboxing, adding different sounds and words to his beatbox verse, ending with a simple "booyah". Compared to the others, Harold had the loudest cheers and claps from the audience for his talent.

"Wicked beatboxing, dude." Chris told him. Grand Master Chef rated his performance a 9/9. "Check it out, Grand Master Chef, has declared his winner. Even though they held the lead, the Screaming Gophers have been trampled by the Killer Bass. Dakota and Courtney ran over to Harold, giving him a hug and cheers, for redeeming himself, and winning for his team. "And as for the Screaming Gophers, pick your favorite loser, and I'll see you at the Bonfire."

Confessional

Harold- "I guess I'm kind of a role model, now that I won the talent contest." He was eating a bag of chips. "People will probably all want my autograph, when this show is over and stuff."

At the campgrounds, both teams were getting settled back in after the talent contest. Noah was reading a book in the Gopher boys Cabin, when Alejandro walked in with an offer.

"Hola Noah, mi amigo." Alejandro greeted.

"What do you want Alejandro, or should I say Al." Noah's response made Alejandro's eye twitch.

"I need you to help me get rid of a certain person." Alejandro offered.

"And why should I trust you?" He asked.

"Because if you don't, you're gonna be the one, who the team sends home." Alejandro told him. "After what happened in the dodgeball challenge, no one trusts you, so are you in?'" Noah gave in to his offer.

"Fine, but this is the only time I'll help you Al." Noah replied. Alejandro remained calm, even with the mention of "Al" being used.

"That is perfectly fine with me, so there's this alliance-" Alejandro trailed off.

The camera changed to the elimination ceremony, where Brick, Sammy, Amy, Heather, Lindsay, Zee, Leshawna, and Noah had all received their marshmallows.

"Kudos to you all for an incredible night of entertainment." Chris announced. "Music, acrobatics, fires, there is only one marshmallow left on this plate" Ella and Alejandro both shared a glance at each other. "Alejandro, you reminded us that attractive people can be skillful, and Ella your beautiful song made all of us feel good, but we're gonna need to send one of you home." Ella looked nervous, while Alejandro had a tiny smirk on his face. "The last marshmallow goes to…..Alejandro." Alejandro nodded his head, while Ella looked down in shame. The alliance had been broken, much to the anger of Heather.

"Well, even if I have to go, I still have my music spirit." A cheerful Ella said. Suddenly a little music tone started to play, shocking her teammates.

"What the, I never ok'd a musical number." Chris was very confused, as Ella started singing.

"My time on the show is finished and done, but that's not to say, I didn't have fun" Some of the birds started surrounding Ella, interested in her song.

"I'll do my best not to cry, but now I have to say, goodbye" The birds

"I came on Total Drama, and survived it just fine"

"With only minor damage, to the base of my spin" The birds started surrounding Chris, as Ella walked towards the host.

"I gave it my best try, but now I have to say goodbye"

I've enjoyed my time, but now I'm heading home" The birds surrounding Ella carried her, to the Boat of Losers.

"Cause now I have to say goodbyeeeeeee" Ella kept singing as the Boat of Losers faded into the distance, the campers waved goodbye, hearing her final words, until it was too far to hear.

Confessional

Alejandro- Heather underestimated me, so in response, I got one of her allies out. I will expose Heather and her small alliance, it's just a matter of patience."

(End Credits)

Author's Note: Hi, It's been a while since you last saw me, and since I updated, I have a few topics I want to talk about.

So you might be asking, why did I eliminate Ella? Well, I never really wanted her to make it far, not to say she's a boring character, but I always wanted her to be a victim of Alejandro, but in an unexpected way. Her elimination also moves Heather's character, as she lost a valuable ally, and starts to show Alejandro's true colors. Sorry to anyone who wanted to make it far, but I can assure you that she will get more development in future seasons, it just wasn't her time to stay.

Aleheather is canon, I'm just gonna say this out of the gate, you knew it, I knew it. I can't really spoil anything about their relationship, but just expect to be built up a little different than canon.

So, I know I have been on a hiatus (It's been like a month since I last uploaded), and I wish I did have an excuse but, it's really just procrastination and vacation. I do want to say that I fully commit to this project, no matter if I go on another big hiatus (which I probably will), I love this project, and I'll try not give up on this project.

But, anyways, that's all I have to say. I promise the next episode won't take a month, so other than that, I'll see you all in the next chapter. Reviews and Feedback are highly appreciated.
