Here we are again! Episode 2. I am really excited for you to read this one.

I am planning on releasing an episode every Sunday. Not sure yet, though.

Leave a review if you want!

Alright, let's get to this episode!

[The episode starts with Chris standing on the main dock, his signature smirk firmly in place. With an air of excitement and mischief, he starts recapping last episode's events.]

Chris: "Welcome back, campers! Last time on "Total Drama Wawanakwa," we met our fearless competitors and witnessed some intense cabin dynamics. From Danielle's annoyance to Blaise's obsession with working out, the Hazardous Bears were off to a rocky start. Meanwhile, the Swift Deers settled into their laid-back cabin, with Derek's horror enthusiasm to Emilia's reserved demeanor. Then came the infamous pasta lunch, leaving the contestants feeling drowsy and trapped in a sleep-inducing curse. As they fought to stay awake, Chef's wicked plan unfolded, and one by one, they all succumbed to the poison. Now, who knows what is coming for them now facing the unknown? Who will rise to the challenge and navigate this unexpected twist? Find out right here, on "Total Drama Wawanakwa!"

[The camera then fades to the intro]

Dear Mom and Dad I'm doing fine,

You guys are on my mind and now I think the answer is plain to see,

I wanna be famous.

I wanna live close to the sun,

Go pack your bags, 'cause I've already won,

Everything to prove, nothing in my way

I'll get there one day.

Cause, I wanna be famous!

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!

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

Na na na na na na na na na na na na na na na!

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

[Now it transitions to the contestants from the Swift Deers finding themselves adrift in a raft somewhere in the ocean, separated from the other team. Confusion and concern fill the air. Bri, the timid wallflower, clutches onto the raft's edge, her eyes wide with fear.]

Bri: "Oh no, what's happening? This isn't how the competition was supposed to go."

Dirk: [placing a reassuring hand on Bri's shoulder] "Hey, Bri, it's going to be alright. Just stay close to us."

Bri: [nervously] "Th-thanks, Dirk. I'm just... scared."

Derek: [grinning mischievously] "Well, this is certainly unexpected! A real horror movie scenario, wouldn't you say?"

Leon: [calmly] "Let's not panic, everyone. We need to stay calm and think logically. There must be a reason for all of this."

Zane: [nodding in agreement] "Leon's right. Panicking won't get us anywhere. We need to stay level-headed and work together to find a solution."

Emilia: [reserved, but slightly annoyed] "If my parents knew about this, they'd be furious. Being stranded like this? It's so... unpredictable."

Jackie: [scanning the scene, analyzing their surroundings] "We need to stay calm and observant. There might be clues or something that can help us navigate through this situation."

Tiko: [with a serene demeanor] "Let us embrace the present moment and find peace within ourselves. Panicking won't serve us. We must remain centered."

Kathy: [taking a deep breath] "Okay, let's all stay focused. We need to stick together and figure out our plan of action."

[As the Swift Deers continue to discuss their predicament, the scene transitions to the Hazardous Bears' raft, where Ana, Blaise, Carlos, Chad, Lucy, Danielle, Heidi, Iris, and Ramiro slowly regain consciousness. Confusion lingers in the air as they look around, realizing they are adrift in the vast ocean.]

Ana: [taking in their surroundings] "What... happened? Why are we floating in the middle of nowhere?"

Blaise: [frustrated] "This is ridiculous! I can't believe we're in this situation. I need my protein shakes!"

Carlos: [feeling overwhelmed] "Alright, everyone, let's not panic. I mean, seriously, I am not panicking. Look at me, calm and composed. It's all of you who are panicking."

Ramiro: [mockingly imitating Carlos] "I am not panicking, y'all are panicking." Carlos, buddy, you're not fooling anyone."

[He would now laugh, mockingly, at Carlos for panicking like that.]

Iris: [trying to calm Carlos down] "Carlos, it's okay. Take a deep breath. We'll figure this out together."

[Blaise, still frustrated about the situation, starts to put the pieces together. His eyes widen as a realization dawns upon him.]

Blaise: "Wait a minute... It's all the food's fault! Chris tricked us into some twisted challenge! That pasta we ate... it must have had something in it to knock us out!"

Ana: [curious] "You think Chris orchestrated this?"

Blaise: "It's the only explanation. He knew what he was doing when he served us that tainted meal. This whole raft thing is part of his sick plan."

Ana: "Of course! How come we just came to this conclusion now?"

Carlos: [angered] "That's messed up! How could he do this to us?"

Chad: [frustrated] "This is beyond unacceptable! My dad is going to hear about this!"

[Chad frantically searches his pockets, then realizes his phone is missing.]

Chad: "What? Where's my phone? I need to call my dad! This is a disaster!"

[The other contestants start searching their pockets, realizing that all their belongings are gone. Blaise, however, discovers something unexpected—a phone with a pre-recorded message.]

Blaise: [holding up the phone] "Hey, guys! I found a phone, but it's not mine. There's a message on it."

[Blaise plays the message, and Chris's voice fills the air, explaining the situation.]

Chris's voice: "Congratulations, contestants! You have been chosen to embark on an extraordinary adventure. Consider this a test of your survival skills and teamwork. Your belongings have been taken, and you must rely solely on your wits and resourcefulness. The first team to reach the beach will earn a significant advantage in the next challenge. Good luck!"

Ramiro: [smirking, trying to lighten the mood] "Well, at least we have each other, right? And a beautiful view... if you're into endless water."

Danielle: [sarcastically] "Oh, great. A scenic view of endless water. That's exactly what I signed up for."

Heidi: [looking at the bright side] "Well, we may not have our belongings, but we have our team. And together, we can overcome any challenge."

Lucy: [leaning closer to Chad] "No phone, huh? How are you supposed to update your followers now, Mr. Popular?"

Chad: [frustrated] "This is a nightmare! My dad needs to know about this. How am I going to survive without my luxuries?"

Blaise: [interrupting] "Alright, Chad, we get it. No need to remind us of your privileged lifestyle. We're all in the same boat now, quite literally."

Iris: [trying to bring the focus back] "We can't waste our time bickering. We need to come up with a plan. Chris said the first team to reach the beach will earn an advantage. We should figure out how we're supposed to go there."

Ana: "Agreed. Let's not forget the bigger picture here. We're in a competition, and we can't let Chris's tricks get the best of us. We need to stay focused and work together."

[The Swift Deers gather on their raft, still reeling from the shock of their belongings being taken and the challenge ahead. They begin discussing how they can navigate back to the beach, their first challenge in this extraordinary adventure.]

Dirk: "Hey, Leon, maybe we can swim all the way back to the beach. I bet I can do it faster than you!"

Leon: "Swim? Dirk, have you forgotten about the sharks lurking beneath these waters? I'm not about to become fish food!"

Dirk: "Aw, come on, man! You're just scared of a little shark snack."

Derek: [with an ominous tone] "You know, guys, while we stand here, we should keep an eye out for those sharks. Legend has it that they can smell fear from miles away. So, Leon and Dirk, I hope you've brushed up on your poker faces."

[Leon and Dirk exchange nervous glances.]

CONFESSIONAL - DEREK

Derek: [grinning mischievously] "So, guys, did you see Leon and Dirk's faces when I mentioned the sharks? Priceless! I mean, these guys are terrified of becoming shark bait, yet they call themselves fishermen. Talk about mixed signals, right? Maybe they should stick to catching goldfish in a kiddie pool."

[Derek chuckles to himself, clearly finding amusement in his own joke. The confession booth camera captures his lightheartedness as the confessional ends.]

[Back on the raft, the conversation continues, albeit with a newfound awareness of the potential dangers lurking beneath the water's surface.]

Emilia: [trying to ease the tension] "Well, I guess we can all agree that swimming is off the table. But how else are we going to reach the beach?"

Kathy: "We could paddle with our own hands and row our way there. It might take longer, but it's a safer option."

Zane: [nodding] "I agree with Kathy. It's the easiest option. We should paddle together. It's a team effort, after all."

Bri: [softly] "I think that's a good idea. We should stay united and work together. We'll reach the beach in no time."

[The team members nod in agreement, recognizing the importance of teamwork and unity in this situation. They position themselves strategically on the raft, ready to use their hands as makeshift paddles.]

Bri: [grinning] "Great job, everyone! We're making progress. Keep up the momentum!"

Leon: [breathing heavily] "This is tougher than I thought, but we've got this."

Emilia: [encouragingly] "Just imagine the advantage we'll have if we reach the beach first. Let's push a little harder!"

Dirk: [smirking] "I am not letting some puny bears get the best of us! Hazardous Bears? More like Cuddly Teddy Bears!"

[The team chuckles, finding humor in Dirk's playful taunting. However, a hint of curiosity lingers in his voice.]

Dirk: "But seriously, I wonder how they're doing."

[The camera cuts to the Hazardous Bears, who are facing a menacing encounter with the sharks. The contestants struggle to keep their composure as the sharks circle their raft, creating a tense atmosphere.]

Ana: [firmly] "Stay calm, everyone. We need to work together and stay still. The sharks are attracted to movement."

Blaise: [gritting his teeth] "Easy for you to say, Ana. These sharks look like they haven't missed a meal in a decade. And you're not quite a meal like me, you're more like a snack."

Carlos: [trying to lighten the mood] "Well, if it's a seafood dinner they're after, they're out of luck. We're not on the menu."

Danielle: [sarcastically] "Oh, lucky us. Sharks with culinary tastes. Just what we needed."

[As the tension rises, one of the sharks, displaying an eerily human-like behavior, puts on a bib and brandishes a knife and fork, eyeing the contestants with a menacing gaze.]

Heidi: [whispering in disbelief] "Did that shark just...?"

Ramiro: [deadpan] "Looks like he wants to add some flair to his meal. Maybe we should serve him dessert while we're at it."

[Iris and Carlos exchange nervous glances, while Lucy, true to her creepy nature, seems unfazed by the chilling spectacle.]

Lucy: [whispering to herself] "Bon appétit, my friends."

[Just as the tension reaches its peak, the sound of a helicopter can be heard in the distance. The contestants look up in surprise as a helicopter approaches, piloted by none other than Chris McLean himself, accompanied by Chef Hatchet.]

Chris: [through the helicopter's loudspeaker] "Hang on! We've got a rescue mission to execute!"

Chef: "That's right! No one messes with our contestants' safety, but us."

[The helicopter hovers above the sharks, and a large net is dropped, quickly trapping the menacing creatures. The contestants watch in awe as Chris and Chef expertly handle the situation.]

[However, as the helicopter lifts off and the contestants' safety is secured, Lucy's initial satisfaction gives way to a sense of discomfort. She shifts uncomfortably in her seat, her eerie demeanor momentarily unsettled.]

CONFESSIONAL - LUCY

[In the confessional, Lucy, known for her eerie demeanor, sits with a somber expression on her face. Her eyes gleam with a peculiar mix of disappointment and longing.]

Lucy: [in a soft, eerie voice] "Nobody got eaten by the sharks... It's such a shame. They were so hungry."

[Lucy's confession comes to an end, leaving a lingering sense of unease in the confessional booth as her strange desires and dark fantasies are laid bare.]

Chad: [in an annoying tone] "Oh, wow, what a thrilling rescue! I guess we're lucky to have our own personal heroes here. How convenient."

[The other contestants exchange annoyed glances, clearly unimpressed by Chad's sarcastic remark.]

Carlos: [trying to maintain peace] "Come on, Chad, let's just be grateful we're safe now."

Chad: [smirking] "Grateful? Please, my dad's the sponsor of this show. Safety is always guaranteed for me."

[Iris rolls her eyes while Ramiro can't help but chuckle at Chad's self-centered attitude.]

Ramiro: "Always the privileged one, aren't you, Chad?"

Chad: [shrugging] "Hey, I didn't choose to be born into greatness. It just happened."

[The rest of the contestants let out exasperated sighs, realizing that dealing with Chad's ego will be a challenge of its own throughout the competition.]

Blaise: [relieved] "But anyway, I guess we won't be on the menu today."

Ana: [grateful] "Yeah, thank you, Chris and Chef! You guys really came through for us.

Chef: "Hey, it's all part of the drama, right, Chris? Can't have our contestants becoming shark bait just yet."

Chris: [smirking] "Besides, you're far more entertaining when you're alive and competing."

[With the sharks safely captured, the helicopter lowers a ladder, allowing the Hazardous Bears to climb aboard.]

Chris: "Time for a new twist, folks! We'll airlift you to the next challenge. Hang tight!"

[As the helicopter lifts off, the Hazardous Bears leave the sharks behind, relieved and grateful for their unexpected rescue. Chris and Chef exchange a knowing glance before turning their attention to the next phase of the competition.]

[The helicopter carrying the Hazardous Bears soars through the air, eventually reaching the beautiful sandy beach where the next challenge awaits. As the contestants descend from the helicopter, they are greeted by Chris, who stands at the edge of the beach, microphone in hand.]

Chris: "Welcome to your next challenge, Hazardous Bears! You've survived the shark encounter, and now it's time to prove your skills on land."

[The Swift Deers, who have been paddling with all their might, arrive at the beach just in time to hear Chris's announcement.]

Bri: [panting] "We made it! We're here!"

Chris: [smirking] "Well, well, well, Swift Deers, you've certainly put up a good fight, but I'm afraid the Hazardous Bears have won the first part of this challenge."

Kathy: [disappointed] "What? How is that fair? While they got a helicopter ride, we had to paddle all the way."

Chris: [smirking] "Life's not fair. Welcome to Total Drama, where the rules are as unpredictable as the challenges."

Kathy: [gritting her teeth] "We'll get our chance, just you wait."

Chris: "Oh, don't worry. The competition is far from over. Get ready for the next challenge, and remember, anything can happen on this island."

[The contestants exchange determined glances, their competitive spirits reignited despite the unfair turn of events. The stage is set for the next exciting chapter in the Total Drama adventure.]

Chris: "Now that we've got both teams assembled on the beach, it's time for the next thrilling phase of this competition! It's time for a treasure hunt!"

[The contestants' eyes widen with anticipation as Chris reveals a map, showcasing various markings and a big "X" marking the spot.]

Chris: "Hidden somewhere on this beach is a golden sculpture of yours truly. The first team to find it and bring it back to me will be the winners of this challenge!"

Blaise: [smirking] "Sounds like a piece of cake. We'll find that sculpture in no time!"

Chris: "Ah, Blaise, always full of confidence. Well, to help you and your team with this treasure hunt even more, here's a little something special. As the winners of the first part of the challenge, this map is for you."

[Chris hands Blaise the map, which contains additional clues and hints.]

Chris: "Consider it a small advantage for your team. But don't get too comfortable."

[The contestants, including Blaise, glance at the map with excitement and determination, eager to unravel the clues and outsmart their opponents in the pursuit of the golden sculpture.]

Chris: "Remember, the clock is ticking, and the race is on. So, get going, find that golden sculpture, and show me what you're made of!"

[The contestants start dispersing, their eyes fixed on the map and their minds set on the treasure hunt. Chad, however, seems a bit distracted.]

Chad: [impatiently] "Hey, Chris, can I have my phone now? I've been waiting forever."

Chris: [raising an eyebrow] "Your phone? Seriously, Chad? We're in the middle of a challenge here."

Chad: [whining] "But my dad said I could have it if I asked nicely. And I've been really nice, haven't I?"

[The other contestants exchange annoyed glances, clearly fed up with Chad's entitled behavior.]

Blaise: [sighing] "Chad, can't you focus on the competition for once? The phone can wait."

Chris: [sighs] "Alright, Chad. Just this once, I'll make an exception. But remember, this is against the rules, and it better not affect your performance in the challenge."

[Chris reluctantly retrieves Chad's phone from his pocket and hands it over to him, hoping to avoid any further drama.]

Chad: [smirking] "Thanks, Chris. You made the right choice."

[Chad takes his phone with a self-satisfied grin.]

Chris: [trying to regain control] "Alright, everyone, let's get back to the treasure hunt. Remember, the clock is ticking, and the first team to find the golden sculpture wins."

Jackie: [raising her hand] "Um, Chris, what about the rest of our belongings? We still don't have them back."

Chris: [smirking] "Oh, right, your precious belongings. Don't worry, Jackie. I'll return them to you after the challenge is over."

[The contestants exchange frustrated glances, annoyed that Chad was able to retrieve his phone while they had to wait for their belongings.]

Blaise: [muttering] "Unbelievable. Rules don't seem to apply to Chad, huh?"

CONFESSIONAL - CHAD

[In the confessional booth, Chad is seen dialing his dad's number on his newly retrieved phone, ready to unleash his complaints about the conditions on the show.]

Chad: [whining] "Ugh, finally I got my phone back! I'm gonna give my dad a piece of my mind. This show is a total joke."

[As Chad starts speaking, the voicemail of his dad's phone picks up.]

Voicemail: "Sorry for not picking it up. Leave a message, and I may answer it later. But if you're my son, Chad..."

[Chad's face contorts with frustration upon hearing his father's message.]

Voicemail: "...then I'm probably busy with something more important and won't waste my time listening to your complaints. Try being less of a disappointment next time. Beep!"

[Chad is left stunned, his entitled expression crumbling as he processes his father's offensive words. He quickly ends the call, a mix of anger and hurt evident on his face and the confessional comes to an end.]

As the treasure hunt intensifies, the contestants split up, scouring the beach in search of the golden sculpture. Ana takes charge, holding the map and carefully examining it for clues.

Carlos: [walking alongside Ana, studying the map] "So, Ana, any clues on where we should start looking?"

Ana: [scrutinizing the map] "Well, based on these markings and the landscape, it seems like the sculpture might be on the west side of the beach. Let's head in that direction."

Carlos: "Sounds like a plan. Let's stick together and keep an eye out for any signs."

Iris: [smiling at Carlos and Ana] "You guys make a great team. We should split up and cover more ground. Heidi and I can head in the opposite direction and see if we find anything."

Ana: [shaking her head] "Iris, I think we should all stick together and focus our search on the west side. The clues on the map point in that direction, and it's our best lead."

Heidi: [supportively] "Ana's right. It's important to follow the clues and make the most of the information we have."

Iris: [hesitant but eventually agreeing] "Okay, if you both think it's the best approach, I trust your judgment. Let's stick together and head to the west side then."

[The team regroups, united in their decision to focus their search on the west side of the beach. Meanwhile, Chad, unable to resist intervening, approaches the group with an annoying grin.]

Chad: "Hey, guys! Did you know that the west side of the beach is, like, so last season? You should try searching the east side instead. Trust me."

[The team collectively rolls their eyes and ignores Chad's suggestion, knowing well that his self-proclaimed inside scoop is likely nothing more than a misguided attempt to gain attention.]

Chad: [interrupting] "Wait, wait, wait! Hold up, guys! I've got a brilliant idea. What if... and hear me out... what if we split up and cover both the east and west sides of the beach? Double the chances of finding the sculpture, am I right?"

[The team exchanges exasperated glances, clearly unimpressed by Chad's suggestion.]

Carlos: [sighing] "Chad, we've already discussed this. Ana's analysis points to the west side, and we agreed to stick together. It's better to concentrate our efforts instead of spreading ourselves thin."

Iris: [nodding] "Exactly, Chad. It's not about quantity; it's about efficiency and working as a team."

Chad: [stubbornly] "But guys, think about it! What if the map is misleading? What if the sculpture is hiding on the east side, just waiting for us to discover it?"

Heidi: [trying to reason] "Chad, we have to trust the clues we have. Ana's interpretation seems solid, and we should follow her lead."

Chad: [rolling his eyes] "Fine, ignore my genius idea. But when I find that sculpture on the east side, don't come crying to me."

[Chris watches the team's interaction from a distance, a mischievous grin forming on his face. He turns to Chef Hatchet, standing beside him, and chuckles.]

Chris: [whispering to Chef] "You know what the funny part is, Chef? Chad's right! I gave them the wrong map on purpose."

Chef: [raising an eyebrow] "You did what? Are you serious?"

Chris: [laughing] "Oh, I'm dead serious, my friend. Gotta keep things interesting."

Chef: [shaking his head] "You're insane, Chris. These contestants are gonna go crazy trying to solve a puzzle that leads nowhere."

Chris: [grinning] "That's the whole point, Chef! It's all about the drama, the unexpected twists, and the chaos. And trust me, Chad discovering he was right, even with the wrong map, is going to be pure gold."

Chef: [smirking] "I can already imagine his gloating. He won't shut up about it for a long time."

Chris: [chuckling] "Exactly! Chad's ego is going to inflate to the size of the moon. It'll be a memorable moment for sure."

[Chris scans the beach, observing the contestants as they continue their search.]

Chris: "Let's sit back and enjoy the show, Chef. Total Drama never disappoints."

[Chris and Chef exchange amused glances, eagerly anticipating the upcoming chaos and the dramatic revelation that Chad's incorrect assumption was, ironically, correct.]

[The camera shifts to the Swift Deers, where Kathy and Zane are seen working closely together, digging in the sand with determination. Their synchronized efforts display a strong bond between them, leaving Emilia, who watches from a distance, feeling a pang of sadness and jealousy.]

[Jackie notices Emilia's despondent expression and nudges Bri, signaling her to join them. The two girls approach Emilia with concern, ready to offer their support.]

Jackie: [placing a hand on Emilia's shoulder] "Hey, Emilia, is everything okay? You seem a bit down."

Emilia: [forcing a smile] "Oh, it's nothing. Just a little tired, I guess."

Bri: [sincerely] "You know you can talk to us, right? We're here for you."

Emilia: [hesitant] "I... I can't help but notice how close Kathy and Zane are. It's like they have this unspoken connection, and I can't help but feel left out."

Jackie: [comforting] "I understand how that feels, Emilia. But remember, this is a competition, and sometimes alliances and friendships form naturally. It doesn't mean you're any less valuable or deserving."

Bri: [nodding] "Exactly. Your worth isn't defined by your connection to someone else. Focus on your own strengths and keep pushing forward."

Emilia: [grateful] "Thank you, girls. I needed to hear that. I'll try to focus on my own game and not let it affect me."

[Meanwhile, Derek is engrossed in his digging, determined to find the golden sculpture. Tiko approaches him, a thoughtful expression on his face.]

Derek: [digging alone, deep in concentration]

Tiko: [approaching Derek with a calm demeanor] "Hey, Derek. Mind if I join you for a moment?"

Derek: [looking up, slightly annoyed] "Oh, it's you, Tiko. What's up?"

Tiko: [smiling gently] "I've been observing the beach and listening to the sounds of the waves, and I have this feeling, you know? I think the sculpture might be on the east side of the beach. My instincts are rarely wrong."

Derek: [chuckling dismissively] "Tiko, my man, don't tell me you're relying on your vibes now."

Tiko: [unfazed] "Derek, the universe communicates with us in mysterious ways. It's important to stay open to all possibilities."

Derek: [mockingly] "Right, right. So the universe has whispered the location of the sculpture in your ear, huh? Maybe you should tweet about it."

Tiko: [maintaining his composure] "Derek, I understand you may not share my beliefs, but it doesn't hurt to consider different perspectives. The universe has its own way of guiding us if we're willing to listen."

Derek: [rolling his eyes] "Sure, Tiko. I'll keep that in mind while I rely on actual clues and logic to find the treasure. Good luck with your universe vibes."

[Ignoring Tiko's suggestion, Derek returns his attention to digging, determined to uncover the golden sculpture through more traditional means.]

[As Leon and Dirk continue digging together, their banter fills the air with laughter.]

Leon: [jokingly] "Hey, Dirk, at this rate, we'll reach the Earth's core before finding that sculpture."

Dirk: [playfully pretending to be exhausted] "I know, right? I didn't sign up for a treasure hunt and an archaeological excavation! But hey, at least we're getting a killer workout."

Leon: [grinning] "Yeah, who needs the gym when you can dig for buried treasure? We're killing two birds with one stone."

Dirk: [leaning on his shovel] "Speaking of birds, do you think seagulls ever find treasures while they're digging for snacks on the beach?"

Leon: [laughing] "If they do, they probably mistake them for french fries and fly away with them. Watch out for those crafty seagulls, Dirkie!"

[Their lighthearted banter continues as Leon and Dirk dig, enjoying each other's company and injecting some much-needed humor into the intense treasure hunt. Their jokes provide a brief respite from the competitive atmosphere, reminding them that they're not only teammates but also friends on this adventure.]

[Their lightheartedness brings a sense of joy and camaraderie to the task, turning the challenging treasure hunt into a fun-filled adventure for the duo.]

[The Swift Deers continue their search, each contestant facing their own emotions and distractions while striving to find the golden sculpture and make their mark in the competition.]

[Meanwhile, Chad, having overheard the conversation among the Swift Deers and witnessing the team's focus on the west side of the beach, can't resist his urge to intervene once again. With a mischievous grin, he heads towards the east side, eager to prove himself right.]

Chad: [muttering to himself] "They may not believe me, but I'll show them. Chad is always ahead of the game."

[Chad scours the east side of the beach, his eyes scanning the sand for any signs of the golden sculpture. As he meticulously investigates the area, his confidence begins to waver.]

Chad: [frustrated] "Come on, where is it? I can't let them think I'm wrong."

[Despite his determination, Chad's search proves fruitless. The realization that he may have been mistaken sinks in, but he refuses to admit defeat. He continues to comb through the east side, hoping for a lucky break.]

[As Chad continues his search on the east side of the beach, Ramiro, his teammate known for his sarcastic and snarky sense of humor, notices Chad's persistent efforts. Unable to resist the opportunity for a few jabs, Ramiro decides to join him, accompanied by his signature smirk.]

Ramiro: [walking up to Chad, feigning surprise] "Oh, Chad, fancy meeting you here! I see you've embarked on your own personal treasure hunt. How's that going for you?"

Chad: [defensively] "Oh, hey, Ramiro. Just exploring all possibilities."

Ramiro: [raising an eyebrow] "Right, right. Because the golden sculpture is obviously hiding in plain sight on the east side, away from the actual clues. Brilliant strategy, Chad."

Chad: [brushing off the sarcasm] "Hey, you never know. Stranger things have happened."

Ramiro: [playfully] "Yeah, like me finding you with a sense of direction."

[They share a sarcastic laugh, their banter echoing across the beach. Chad remains determined, albeit slightly frustrated and Ramiro just goes away, going for his own search.]

CONFESSIONAL - CHAD

[Camera transitions to a confessional booth where Chad sits, his hair disheveled and a hint of insecurity in his eyes.]

[Chad squirms uncomfortably in his seat, his insecurity starting to show.]

Chad: "Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing. But here's the thing: I can't let them know that. I can't back down now. I've gone too far and now I'm not leaving until I find that damn sculpture."

[Chad's confident facade crumbles, and he lets out a nervous chuckle right before the confessional ends.]

CONFESSIONAL - RAMIRO

[Immediately following Chad's confessional, the camera transitions to Ramiro in the confessional booth. He leans back in his seat, a sly grin spreading across his face.]

Ramiro: "Oh, Chad, you never fail to amuse me. Keep on exploring, buddy. Maybe one day you'll stumble upon a compass and figure out which way is up!"

[Ramiro's confessional ends with a mischievous glint in his eyes.]

[The camera transitions back to the Swift Deers, where Kathy and Zane are engrossed in a conversation about their favorite rock bands while diligently digging in the sand.]

Kathy: [excitedly] "And then their guitarist just shreds it on the solo! I can't get enough of their energy."

Zane: [nodding enthusiastically] "Oh, I totally agree. Their stage presence is incredible. They know how to rock the crowd."

[Just as their discussion reaches its peak, Emilia approaches, interrupting their conversation.]

Emilia: [smiling] "Hey, guys! Need any help with the digging? I could join in."

Kathy: [grateful] "That's really kind of you, Emilia, but we've got it under control. Thanks for offering, though."

Zane: [supportively] "Yeah, we appreciate the gesture, Emilia. But you don't have to worry. We'll find this sculpture together."

Emilia: [slightly disappointed but understanding] "Alright, if you're sure. Just wanted to lend a hand. Let me know if you change your mind."

[Emilia takes a step back, watching Kathy and Zane continue their digging with determination. Though she initially wanted to be more involved, she respects their decision and decides to find her own way to contribute to the team's success.]

[Meanwhile, Derek, intrigued by the banter and laughter coming from Leon and Dirk, decides to check on their progress. As he approaches them, his eyes widen in surprise at the sight before him.]

Derek: [astonished] "Whoa, what's going on here?"

[Leon and Dirk are waist-deep in a massive hole they've been digging, their competitive spirit driving them to push the limits.]

Leon: [grinning] "Derek! You won't believe it, we hit the mother lode! Or at least we hope so."

Dirk: [panting] "Yeah, dude, we decided to take digging to a whole new level. We're going deep for that treasure!"

Derek: [scratching his head, a hint of concern in his voice] "I can see that. But guys, did we really need to dig that deep? We should be covering more ground, exploring different areas. Remember, the beach is vast, and the sculpture could be anywhere."

Leon: [catching his breath] "You're right, Derek. We might have gotten a bit carried away with the digging. We were just so focused on finding the treasure that we didn't realize how deep we've gone."

Dirk: [nodding sheepishly] "Yeah, we might have let our enthusiasm get the better of us."

CONFESSIONAL - LEON AND DIRK

[The camera transitions to a confessional booth where Leon and Dirk sit side by side, their faces flushed from the exertion of digging.]

Dirk: [grinning mischievously] "Man, we really got caught up in the moment back there, didn't we?"

Leon: [laughing] "Yeah, no kidding! We started digging like there was no tomorrow. It's that competitive spirit, I tell you."

Dirk: [nodding knowingly] "You know what they say, enthusiasm can be a double-edged sword. Sometimes it gets the better of us."

Leon: [waving his hand dismissively] "But hey, it's all part of the adventure, right? We won't let our digging frenzy take over again."

Dirk: [smirking] "Exactly, my man. We're still us, and we're going to outsmart and out-dig our competition."

[The confession ends with a playful high-five between Leon and Dirk, reaffirming their determination to strike the right balance between enthusiasm and strategy in their quest for the golden sculpture.]

[As the camera shifts back to Chad, his persistence on the east side of the beach finally pays off. He spots a glimmer in the sand and kneels down to investigate.]

Chad: [in disbelief] "No way... is that... the golden sculpture?"

[Chad carefully brushes away the sand, revealing the unmistakable form of the golden sculpture, glistening under the sunlight.]

Chad: [excitedly] "I did it! I actually found it!"

[With a mix of joy and triumph, Chad holds the golden sculpture up high, relishing the moment of victory. He can't help but grin from ear to ear as he realizes he has proven himself right and silenced the doubts.]

[The camera captures the scene, showcasing Chad's excitement and the golden sculpture shining brightly in his hands. His determination and unwavering belief in the east side have paid off, earning him a moment of triumph in the competition.]

CONFESSIONAL - CHAD

[The camera transitions to a confessional booth where Chad, still exhilarated from finding the golden sculpture, can't contain his triumph.]

Chad: [grinning smugly] "Ha! In your face, idiots!"

[Chad's brief and straightforward confession reflects his overwhelming sense of victory, as he revels in proving his doubters wrong and asserting his superiority.]

[After finding the sculpture, Chad rushes back to his teammates, eager to share his discovery. He gathers them together, their faces filled with skepticism.]

Chad: [excitedly] "Guys, I found it! I actually found the sculpture!"

Ramiro: [sarcastically] "Oh, Chad, what wild story do you have for us this time? Did it magically appear before your eyes?"

Blaise: [aggressively] "Quit messing around, Chad! We have better things to do than listen to your lies."

Danielle: [mocking] "Yeah, Chad, stop being a drama queen. We don't have time for your attention-seeking antics."

[Chad's excitement fades, and he retreats to where he found the sculpture, his eyes fixed on it. As he stares, an idea begins to form in his mind.]

Chad: [whispering to himself] "They don't believe me, huh? Well, maybe I'll have a little fun with this."

[As Chad's teammates continue to dismiss his discovery, a mischievous grin spreads across his face. An evil idea starts to take shape in his mind, fueled by their lack of belief.]

Chad: [whispering to himself] "If they don't believe me the good way... maybe it's time to make them believe me the bad way."

[With a newfound determination, Chad sets his plan into motion, ready to show his teammates the consequences of doubting him.]

[Chad sneaks away from his team, holding the golden sculpture tightly in his hands. He looks around, searching for the perfect spot to hide it. A wicked smile plays on his lips as he spots a secluded area near the Swift Deers' digging site.]

Chad: [whispering to himself] "Time to teach them a lesson they won't forget."

[With careful precision, Chad digs a shallow hole in the sand and carefully buries the golden sculpture, ensuring it's hidden from plain sight but still discoverable if one were to closely examine the area. He takes a step back, admiring his handiwork, his plan unfolding before his eyes.]

Chad: [chuckling softly] "Let's see how confident they'll be when they realize they lost."

[Feeling a sense of triumph, Chad returns to his team, his heart pounding with anticipation of the upcoming reveal. He waits for the moment when the Swift Deers stumble upon his hidden treasure, fully aware of the chaos it will cause within his own team.]

[Meanwhile, the Swift Deers continue their diligent search, unaware of Chad's cunning plot. Their determination fuels their efforts as they dig through the sand, hoping to find the elusive golden sculpture that could secure their victory.]

[As everyone continue their search, Chris observes the unfolding events from a distance. He watches the drama unfold with a mix of amusement and surprise.]

Chris: [smirking] "Well, well, well, Chef. Looks like our dear Chad has quite the wicked streak. I didn't expect him to pull off something like this. But you know what? It's good for ratings!"

Chef: [raising an eyebrow] "You're enjoying this, aren't you?"

Chris: [grinning] "Oh, absolutely! The drama, the tension, the unexpected twists... it's like reality TV gold. Our viewers won't be able to resist."

[The camera transitions to a different part of the beach, where Bri and Jackie are working together, their shovels digging into the sand with determination. As they continue their search, a conversation unfolds between them.]

Bri: [digging] "You know, Jackie, I've always wondered what it's like to have all that wealth. Being born into a rich family must have its perks."

Jackie: [sighing] "Yeah, it definitely has its advantages, but it's not all glamorous. Sometimes, it feels like people only see me for my money and assume I'm just another preppy rich kid."

Bri: [sympathetic] "I can imagine that gets tiring. It's not fair for people to judge you based on your family's wealth. You're more than just a label, Jackie."

Jackie: [grateful] "Thanks, Bri. I appreciate that. It's refreshing to have someone see beyond the surface and recognize who I really am."

[As Bri and Jackie continue digging, a sympathetic understanding passes between them. They share a moment of connection, appreciating the support and understanding they find in each other.]

[The camera transitions to another part of the beach where Leon, Dirk, and Derek are huddled together, taking a break from their intense digging.]

Leon: [catching his breath] "Man, I didn't expect this treasure hunt to be such a workout."

Dirk: [laughing] "Tell me about it! My arms feel like jelly, but we're not giving up."

Derek: [grinning] "You guys really went all out with that hole. I thought you were trying to reach the center of the Earth or something."

Leon: [playfully punching Derek's arm] "Hey! Come on. It was all in the name of finding that sculpture."

Dirk: [nodding] "Exactly! We're not leaving any stone unturned. Or in this case, any grain of sand unturned."

Derek: [teasingly] "Well, just make sure you leave some sand for the rest of us. You two are creating a bottomless pit over here."

[The trio shares a lighthearted laugh, their camaraderie evident as they exchange banter and support each other in their quest to find the golden sculpture.]

Leon: "Alright, break time is over. Let's get back to digging. The sculpture won't find itself, right?"

Dirk: "You got it, Le. We'll keep digging until we strike gold."

Derek: "Count me in! I can't wait to see the looks on their faces when we bring that sculpture back triumphantly."

[With renewed energy, Leon, Dirk, and Derek return to their digging, their teamwork and determination stronger than ever as they continue their search for the elusive treasure.]

CONFESSIONAL - DEREK

[The camera transitions to a confessional booth where Derek sits, his hair slightly disheveled and a hint of amusement in his eyes.]

Derek: "You know, working with Dirk and Leon is pretty fun. They're great guys, always up for a laugh. But here's the thing, they're scaredy cats when it comes to horror movies. I mean, seriously, they jump at the slightest jump scare. It's a shame but hey, more popcorn for me, right?"

[Derek chuckles to himself before the confessional ends.]

[The camera transitions to the Hazardous Bears' area of the beach, where Blaise and Ana are seen working together, their competitive spirits evident.]

Blaise: [digging vigorously] "Ana, we need to step up our game if we want to win this challenge. We can't afford to waste any time."

Ana: [matching Blaise's pace] "I agree, Blaise. We have to be efficient and thorough. Every second counts."

[As they continue digging, it becomes clear that both Blaise and Ana have strong leadership qualities and a desire to take charge.]

Blaise: [assertively] "I've got an idea. Let's split the area and search separately. We'll cover more ground that way."

Ana: [nodding] "Sounds good to me. I'll take the left side, and you take the right. We'll meet back here in 15 minutes and share what we've found."

[Despite their shared goal, there's a subtle underlying tension between Blaise and Ana, each wanting to assert their dominance as the team leader. However, they both recognize the importance of cooperation and putting their differences aside for the sake of the challenge.]

[Ana sets out to cover the left side of the beach, determined to find the sculpture and contribute to her team's success. As she walks along the shore, her gaze falls upon Chad, who is sitting idly on the sand, scrolling through his phone.]

Ana: [exasperated] "Chad! What are you doing? We're in the middle of a challenge, and you're just sitting there wasting time?"

Chad: [nonchalantly] "Oh, hey, Ana. Just taking a little break, you know? Can't be digging all day."

Ana: [frustrated] "We're here to find the sculpture, Chad! It's not time to relax and check your social media. Get off your phone and start contributing!"

Chad: [whining] "Geez, Ana, don't be such a buzzkill. I'm sure someone else will find it. Besides, I'm tired. Digging is hard work, you know?"

[Ana's frustration reaches its peak as Chad continues to dismiss her concerns and whine about the task at hand. Without a second thought, she snatches Chad's phone out of his hands, her anger fueling her actions. In one swift motion, she hurls the phone into the sea.]

Chad: [shocked] "Hey, what did you do? That's my phone!"

Ana: [furious] "You want to waste time and act like a spoiled brat? Fine, then you don't get to have distractions. This challenge is important, Chad, and your laziness is dragging us down."

Chad: [protesting] "You can't do that! My phone... it's ruined!"

Ana: [firmly] "Maybe now you'll realize the importance of teamwork and dedication. Get off your butt and start helping, or else you're just dead weight."

[Ana walks away, leaving Chad seething with anger and frustration. With his phone now lost in the sea, he's forced to face the reality of his actions and decide whether to step up and contribute to the team or continue down the path of selfishness.]

CONFESSIONAL - ANA

[The camera cuts to a confessional booth where Ana sits, her expression a mix of determination and frustration.]

Ana: "I couldn't take it anymore. Chad's lack of commitment was getting on my last nerve. I hope this wake-up call helps him realize the importance of being a team player. We're in this together, and there's no room for slackers."

[Ana takes a deep breath, her eyes filled with determination, before the camera fades out.]

[The scene transitions to Danielle, digging alone in a secluded area of the beach. She's determined to find the sculpture and prove her worth to the team. As she focuses on her task, a chilling presence approaches from behind.]

Lucy: [in a soft, eerie voice] "Hello, Danielle."

[Danielle freezes, her shovel still in her hand. She slowly turns around, her eyes widening as she sees Lucy standing there, a mysterious smile playing on her lips.]

Danielle: [nervously] "Uh, hey, Lucy. What's up?"

[Lucy takes a step closer, her presence sending shivers down Danielle's spine.]

Lucy: [gently] "I couldn't help but notice you digging all by yourself. Is there a reason for that?"

[Danielle's confidence wavers, a hint of fear creeping into her voice.]

Danielle: [stammering] "Well, I... I work better alone, you know? No distractions or anything."

[Lucy's smile widens, her eyes seemingly penetrating Danielle's thoughts.]

Lucy: [whispering] "Oh, I see. But you know, sometimes, it's good to have a little... company."

[Danielle's uneasiness grows, and she takes a step back.]

Danielle: [nervously] "I... I think I'll be fine on my own."

[Lucy watches Danielle intently for a moment before slowly turning away, disappearing into the shadows.]

Lucy: [softly] "As you wish. But remember, there's always more to fear than what meets the eye."

[Danielle's heart pounds in her chest as she watches Lucy fade into the distance. A sense of unease lingers, causing her to question her decision to be alone. She resumes her digging, glancing over her shoulder every now and then, unable to shake off the eerie encounter.]

CONFESSIONAL - DANIELLE

Danielle: [breathing heavily] "That girl...she scares the heck out of me. There's something about her that's just... off. I can't explain it, but every time she's around, I feel this unsettling presence. It's like she knows something, something dark."

[Just as Danielle finishes her statement, a sudden noise breaks the silence, causing her to scream in fright.]

Danielle: [screaming] "Aah! What was that?"

[Realizing that her fear got the best of her, Danielle takes a deep breath, trying to calm herself down.]

Danielle: [talking to herself] "Get it together, Danielle. It's just your imagination playing tricks on you. You can't let fear control you."

[Emilia takes a break from digging, finding a quiet spot away from the hustle and bustle of the competition. She sits alone, lost in her thoughts, contemplating the intense competition and the presence of Zane, along with his closeness to Kathy. As she tries to process her feelings, she becomes aware of Zane approaching her.]

Zane: [softly] "Hey, Emilia. Mind if I join you?"

[Emilia looks up, her expression guarded, but she nods silently, allowing Zane to sit beside her.]

Zane: [pausing for a moment] "You seem deep in thought. Mind sharing what's on your mind?"

[Emilia hesitates, uncertain whether to open up about her feelings toward Zane and Kathy. She decides to keep her thoughts to herself.]

Emilia: [murmuring] "It's nothing, really. Just the competition getting to me, I guess."

Zane: [nodding understandingly] "I get it. Sometimes, it's overwhelming, and you just need a moment to yourself. It's okay to keep your thoughts private if that's what you need."

[Emilia looks at Zane, a flicker of gratitude in her eyes, knowing that he understands the need for solitude.]

Emilia: [softly] "Thanks, Zane. It means a lot that you get it."

[They sit together in companionable silence, finding solace in each other's presence, appreciating the understanding that comes from shared moments of introspection. While Emilia remains guarded about her feelings, the bond between them strengthens, founded on their mutual respect for personal space and the unspoken understanding of the challenges they face.]

[Just as Emilia and Zane find a moment of peace in their quiet conversation, Kathy's voice breaks the tranquility, interrupting their connection.]

Kathy: [excitedly] "Guys! I found it! I found the sculpture!"

[The Swift Deers' spirits instantly lift, and a wave of joy washes over the team. They celebrate their victory, their cheers filling the air, as the realization sinks in that they have triumphed in the challenge.]

Chris: [announcing] "Well, well, well! Looks like the Swift Deers have found the golden sculpture of yours truly, Chris McLean! Congratulations, Swift Deers! You've won the challenge!"

[The Swift Deers erupt with even more enthusiasm, celebrating their victory with high-fives and hugs. Meanwhile, the Hazardous Bears look dejected, disappointment written on their faces.]

[Chad watches from a distance, a satisfied smile playing on his lips. He takes pleasure in seeing his plan come to fruition, his mischievous scheme successfully causing chaos within his own team. As the Swift Deers bask in their triumph, Chad revels in the outcome, enjoying the sight of his own team defeat.]

[The scene transitions to the dining hall, where the contestants from both teams gather for dinner. The atmosphere is tense, and a sense of apprehension lingers in the air, stemming from Chef and Chris's previous prank from earlier that day.]

Jackie: [cautiously] "I don't know about you guys, but after what happened earlier, I'm not sure I can trust anything they serve us."

Iris: [looking around suspiciously] "We need to be careful. They might try to pull something again, even if they say it's normal this time."

[Chef enters the dining hall, noticing the tension among the contestants. He clears his throat and addresses the group.]

Chef: "Alright, listen up, maggots! Tonight's dinner is perfectly normal, no surprises. Just good old-fashioned food. You can trust me on that."

[The contestants exchange cautious glances, still unsure whether to believe Chef's reassurance.]

[The Hazardous Bears gather around a table in a corner of the dining hall, their voices hushed as they engage in a heated discussion about who should be eliminated.]

Blaise: [leaning forward] "Look, guys, we need to think strategically here. We can't afford to carry dead weight on our team."

Ramiro: [nodding in agreement] "Exactly. We're here to win, and if someone isn't pulling their weight, they need to go."

Carlos: [softly] "I hate to say it, but Chad hasn't exactly been the most reliable team member."

Chad: [defensively] "Hey, hold on a second! I've been doing my best out there. Just because I have other interests doesn't mean I'm not committed to the team."

Danielle: [rolling her eyes] "Oh, please, Chad. We've all seen how you've been slacking off and causing drama. It's time to face the consequences."

Chad: [frustrated] "You don't understand! I have talents and skills that you're overlooking. I bring something unique to the team!"

Iris: [calmly] "Chad, it's not just about individual talents. We need cohesion and teamwork. If we can't rely on you, it puts the entire team at a disadvantage."

Chad: [angrily] "Well, maybe I don't want to be a part of this team if you all can't appreciate what I bring to the table!"

[As Chad's frustration boils over, he abruptly gets up from his seat and storms off, leaving the rest of the Hazardous Bears stunned and silent. The room is filled with a heavy tension, the consequences of their decision weighing on their minds.]

Blaise: [calmly] "Alright, now that he's gone... Does everyone agree that Chad should be the one eliminated?"

[One by one, the remaining members of the Hazardous Bears nod in agreement, their expressions a mix of determination and relief. They understand the difficult decision they've made, knowing that it's necessary for the sake of the team's unity and success.]

[Later that night, the scene transitions to the campfire ceremony, where the contestants gather anxiously around the flickering flames. Chris stands before them, a solemn expression on his face.]

Chris: "Welcome, campers, to the first campfire ceremony of the season. Tonight, you've all made your decision, casting your votes to determine who will be the first one eliminated from this competition. And remember, once eliminated, there's no turning back."

[The tension in the air is palpable as the campers anxiously await the announcement of who will be safe and who will be in the bottom two.]

Chris: "The first marshmallow goes to... Blaise."

[Blaise breathes a sigh of relief as he catches his marshmallow, a confident smirk gracing his face.]

Chris: "Next, Iris."

[Iris smiles and exchanges a quick glance with Heidi, a silent acknowledgement of their safety.]

Chris: "Heidi, you're safe."

[Heidi's face lights up with a genuine smile, relieved to have avoided the chopping block.]

Chris: "Ramiro, you're also safe."

[Ramiro's laid-back demeanor remains intact as he collects his marshmallow, nodding to the others.]

Chris: "Danielle, you're safe."

[Danielle smirks, knowing she's managed to secure her spot for another day.]

Chris: "Carlos, you're safe."

[Carlos gives a thumbs-up to his fellow teammates, appreciating their support.]

Chris: "Lucy, you're safe."

[Lucy's unsettling smile widens as she accepts her marshmallow, her eyes darting around the circle.]

Chris: "That leaves us with Ana and Chad, the bottom two. The final marshmallow goes to..."

[The tension mounts as Chris dramatically pauses before revealing the name.]

Chris: "Ana."

[Ana's face displays a mix of relief and empathy, while Chad's disappointment and frustration become apparent.]

Chad: [raising his voice] "This is ridiculous! I demand a re-vote! This whole thing is unfair!"

Chris: [calmly] "Chad, the votes have been cast, and the decision has been made. There won't be a re-vote."

Chad: [getting increasingly agitated] "I don't care! I need to call my dad! I demand a phone!"

Chris: [firmly] "Chad, you knew the rules when you signed up for this competition."

Chad: [frustrated, pacing back and forth] "This is so unfair! You all just want me gone! I can't believe this!"

Ramiro: [mockingly] "Oh, poor Chad, can't handle the reality of the game."

Blaise: [chuckling] "Yeah, seems like his entitled attitude isn't getting him very far."

Danielle: [sarcastically] "I guess the world doesn't revolve around Chad after all."

[As the mocking remarks continue, Chad's anger reaches its peak. His face turns red with frustration, and he abruptly stops pacing, his eyes narrowing at his teammates.]

Chad: [angrily] "You all think you're so clever, don't you? Well, here's a little secret for you. I really did find the sculpture! I found it, and I gave it away to the opposing team!"

[The campers gasp in disbelief, their attention immediately captured by Chad's startling revelation. Ana's eyes widen, her empathy turning into a mix of shock and confusion.]

Ana: [stunned] "Chad, what are you talking about? Why would you do that?"

Chad: [bitterly] "Because I'm sick of this team! Sick of all of you! You don't appreciate anything I do, so I thought I'd give you all a taste of failure!"

Blaise: [angry] "You sabotaged our chances of winning just because you're bitter? That's low, even for you."

Ramiro: [sarcastically] "Well, look at Chad, the master of sabotage. Guess you really showed us how valuable you are to the team."

[The tension in the air is palpable as Ramiro's sarcastic remark hangs in the silence. Chad's face contorts with a mixture of anger, embarrassment, and hurt. Without a word, he turns on his heel and storms off towards the Dock of Shame, his footsteps heavy with frustration.]

[As Chad marches away, Chris watches with a raised eyebrow, a hint of amusement in his voice.]

Chris: "The Dock of Shame is that way, Chad. Don't keep it waiting."

[Chad doesn't respond, his focus solely on putting distance between himself and the campfire ceremony. The other campers exchange glances, a mix of relief and lingering disbelief at the revelation that Chad had deliberately sabotaged their chances.]

[Chad's footsteps echo loudly as he storms off towards the Dock of Shame, his frustration fueling his every step. The dim moonlight casts eerie shadows across the campgrounds, adding to the somber atmosphere. As he reaches the dock, the creaking wood beneath his feet seems to mock him, a haunting reminder of his actions.

[With a mixture of anger and resentment burning in his eyes, Chad grabs hold of the worn-out railing of the Boat of Shame. The boat itself appears weathered and worn, a symbol of failure and elimination. Its ominous presence seems to taunt Chad, reminding him of the consequences of his choices. Without a moment's hesitation, Chad pushes the boat away from the dock, his movements rough and determined.]

[The water ripples in response to the boat's departure, carrying Chad away. His expression is one of defiance, as if daring the world to prove him wrong.]

[As the boat glides farther into the darkness, Chad's figure becomes smaller, his silhouette framed against the moonlit horizon. The distant sound of crashing waves serves as a melancholic backdrop to his departure, a solemn farewell to a once-promising contestant.]

[The campers, still gathered around the campfire, toasting their marshmallows. The gravity of the situation begins to sink in, but it doesn't stop some of them from continuing to mock and taunt Chad.]

Ramiro: [smirking] "Well, looks like Chad's bitterness got the best of him. He wanted so badly to sabotage us that he ended up sabotaging himself."

Danielle: [sarcastically] "Oh, poor Chad. He thought he was so clever, but in the end, he just played himself."

Iris: [shaking her head] "It's a shame, really. He had potential, but his negative attitude got in the way."

Chris: [chuckling] "Well, well, in the end, it looks like Chad's grand plan backfired on him."

[The campers join in Chris's laughter, their voices mingling with the crackling of the campfire. It's a bittersweet moment, as they celebrate their own survival while acknowledging the consequences of Chad's actions.]

[As the campers continue to share their thoughts and laughter around the campfire, the camera slowly fades to black, marking the end of the episode. The crackling of the fire gradually diminishes, leaving behind a sense of anticipation for what's to come in the next chapter of their journey.]

Hazardous Bears: Ana, Blaise, Carlos, Chad (Eliminated), Lucy/Creepy Girl, Danielle, Heidi, Iris, Ramiro

Swift Deers: Bri, Derek, Dirk, Leon, Emilia, Jackie, Kathy, Tiko, Zane

So...about Chad going home...tragic.

To be honest, I made him to be the first boot since the start. I just needed someone hateable to go out first so I didn't have to vote anyone that was good, I wouldn't feel good with that. Can't say I loved him much, but I grew to not dislike him as much as I did before writing this episode. He's just so clueless and he did have his moments. About the sabotage he did, I wanted him to do something that would make him leave on a high note rather than just be voted off for being annoying (which was my original plan).

As for other things that I want to know, have you got any new favorites from this episode? Or anyone you've grown to dislike? And who do you think is getting eliminated next? Do you like how I wrote Chad?

Anyway, that was it for the episode! I hope y'all liked it.
