A distance shot of the entire film is shown as the recap begins. "Last time on Total Drama Action!" The projection of Chris with the eyepatch and cat, as well as everyone's reaction to it was shown. Then Alejandro making his alliance with Amber, Sammy, and Topher, after this, Sammy flipping through lasers is shown, followed by Jo breaking the bell jar, and Gwen hugging Duncan as the fake countdown went on. "It was every dude and dudette for themselves, as the teams were busted up. But that didn't stop Alejandro from making an alliance from the four Gaffers. Sammy surprised everyone with her athleticism, but since Jo was the one to break the glass she won the challenge. Meanwhile Duncan and Gwen confessed their feelings for each other."
Alejandro is shown sliding down the zip line to escape the building. Then Chris sipping tea as an explosion went off in the distance is shown, Then everyone is shown in the tomato soup bath. "The cast made it out of a fake exploding building,but failed to defuse some serious stink bombs. Forcing them to de-stink in tomato juice baths!" The host let out a happy sigh. "I love my job!" Jo and Gwen are shown in the Lame-O-sine, both were glaring at each other. "In the end Jo and Gwen won the fabulous reward,a trip to the local stinky cheese factory!"
The four Gaffers are shown on screen, each in a separate segment. Alejandro in the upper left corner against a blue background, Sammy to his right against a gold background, Amber below Alejandro on a tan background, and Topher on a purple background. Then it shifted to Noah and Jo against a gray background on the left, with Gwen and Duncan against a green one on the right. And ending with Chris at the trailers to close out the usual segment."Will the Gaffer alliance hold together? What about our two duos? All this on today's episode of,Total. Drama. Action!"
(intro)
{A standing light pops up on a set with skyscrapers in the background. A hanging light swoops in front of a set with houses in the background, then a camera pops out of a sewer with a rat on it, and another camera pops out of a hole in a tree scaring the raccoon inside. A masculine hand raises up a clapboard and sets it off.}
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
{The camera's point of view shows a film lot with the two trailers, city background, water tower, and fake hill. Chris drives by in a golf cart, and the camera flies through to the warehouses as crew members push a couple backdrops through, follows by the costume rack. )
You guys are on my mind!
{The camera goes up the fake hill and down into a small pool where Jo is swimming, a shark is behind her. Jo notices it and turns around to punch it in the nose.)
Ya asked me what I wanted to be,
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
(The camera moves out of the water to show Scott on a surfboard held up by machinery. He desperately tries to dodge several seagulls being shot at him. One finally hits him and he falls over.)
I wanna be...famous!
(The camera moves left to show Duncan as the one shooting the gulls from a gull cannon with Gwen right beside, laughing along with him. Duncan turns and Gwen looks at her feet, rubbing her left arm nervously. The camera moves on to show the sastchwawanakwa in a pink dress, matching boa, and straw hat. The door slides open and the camera goes through)
I wanna live close to the sun!
(A beach set is shown with Alejandro and Amber lounging on a beach chair together, a shark sits in a beach chair to either side of them wearing sunglasses.)
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
(Topher is shown in the make-up confessional having it applied. A hand sprays something in his eye accidentally)
Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;
(Trent and Amy are standing on rock pillars with padded poles. Amy hits Trent several times before he hits her back sending some of her hair down.)
I'll get there one day.
(The hair lands in a pot of sludge Chef is cooking. He shrugs and turns to Sammy who looks nervous but determinedly back at him.)
'Cause I wanna be...famous!
(Harold and Ellody are shown standing in front of a set of screens in the security room. Harold presses a random button and causes an explosion. )
(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(We focus in on one screen where a grizzly bear is growling towards Ella. The princess wannabe smiles at him sweetly, the bear smiles back and the two dance. )
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(They dance their way past the lame-o-sine and the back window lowers to show Noah and Crimson inside. The camera continues through the window as camera flashes go off. Chris is shown standing at a podium in a powder blue tux. He opens an envelope.)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The scene moves out to show Chef is in a sparkly hot pink dress and matching Chef's hat, along with sliver earrings and necklace. Chris looks a little weirded out. The camera moves back through a large screen then pans down to Geoff and Kitty sitting on a couch about to make out.)
*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *
(They notice the camera and decide not to kiss, the scene moves back to show a small studio with two couches to either side of the one the couple is sitting at. The rest of the cast in sitting on them as the large screen above flashes to the Total Drama action logo. )
(end of intro)
The episode opened with the remaining four guys exiting the crafts and service tent. Duncan is chomping down on cheese, the crumbs of which are spraying towards Noah who's face remains neutral. "Enjoying the gift you got from your girlfriend?" He deadpanned.
"Oh Hell yes. This jalapeno cheddar is great." Duncan said, not bothering to stop eating.
"Will you at least chew with your mouth closed?" Alejandro tried not to gag.
"Yeah, I don't need your dribble all over me." Topher agreed.
"Lighten up you two." Duncan scoffed.
"Yeah, you can't expect a slovenly deadbeat to be polite." Noah added.
"I don't know what that means but I know it's an insult." The punk glared.
"Oh, so you do have a brain." The cynic smirked.
"You need some street smarts to survive in juvie. Which means you wouldn't last a day." Duncan retorted.
"Will you two cease this passive aggressive bickering?" Alejandro asked.
"Topher's more likely to stop being your fanboy before that happens." Noah chuckled.
"Yeah, that's not happening any time soon." Duncan agreed.
/
The girl's trailer is briefly shown before it cuts inside. Jo is happily eating a block of Pepper jack. The focus shifted to Amber as she groans. "I forgot Jo has all the manners of a pig."
"You're just jealous I got to go to a cheese factory." The jockette scoffed.
"I kinda am. I mean I was so close to the case! I thought that'd count for something." Sammy sighed.
"Personally I think it does, so I brought you guys some gouda." The goth said, taking a block of cheese from her pocket.
./
The boys are now in the bathroom brushing their teeth. "Seriously though, I'm surprised Topher hasn't burst into flames from how hot you make him." Duncan chuckled.
"There's nothing wrong with thinking another man is attractive!" Topher protested, then he gasped. "In a completely platonic way!"
Noah rolled his eyes. "We're not making fun of you liking men, we're making fun of your taste in men."
"And what is that supposed to mean?" Alejandro glared.
"I think you know full well how I mean it." Noah smirked.
/
The girls are now all sat at a table inside their trailer snacking. "Thanks for sharing your prize Gwen." Sammy said.
"No problem, I was bringing back cheese for Duncan anyway." The goth shrugged.
"Speaking of which, how does it feel to finally be past all the awkwardness?" Amber smirked.
Gwen sighed happily. "Amazing."
/
All of the boys are now in their beds. "So what? You think Duncan has better taste?"
"Gwen's got a decent personality." Noah replied.
"Implying that I do not?" Alejandro frowned
"Dude, with your ego I'm surprised you even care what Noah thinks." Duncan yawned.
/
The focus moved outside of the trailers and up to the full moon, the sky transitions to day time indicating a passage of time. A high pitched scream rang through the air, and a flash transition revealed it to be Chef hanging from a cord and wearing a pink dress with a floral collar and hem, as well as some pink flats. The focus moves out to show all eight contestants are there, still in their pajamas, with a half asleep Noah being dragged by Duncan.
"Umm, five more minutes…" The cynic moaned with a yawn.
"Where are we?" Sammy yawned as the focus moved out to show they were on a city set.
"And who thought that was a good look for Chef?" Gwen deadpanned.
The focus shifted up to a spotlight, silhouetting a figure with batlike ears atop a building. The figured jumped off and new lighting revealed it was Chris wearing a batman esque mask and a matching cape. He swung to catch Chef, but the newly added weight of the cook caused the cord he was attached to to snap, sending both to the ground.
Chris stood up his normally perfectly kept hair a mess as he complained. "I knew that bungee wouldn't hold! That's what happens when production cheaps out! And now my hair is all mussed up!" He pointed at his head as Chef dazedly stood up next to him.
"Are you planning to tell us why you've gathered us here with that pathetic display?" Alejandro scoffed.
"When I feel like it!" Chris snapped as he fixed his hair. Once it was back in place he resumed his host smile. "And now I feel like it. Today's challenges are inspired by the superhero flick!"
"What do you mean today's challenges? I haven't even had time to shower." Sammy complained.
"Or brush my hair." Topher added.
"I'm going back to bed. Well I will if Noah lets go of my arm." The punk glared, as the focus moved out to reveal Noah had grabbed Duncan's arm in an attempt to remain upright. The punk shook him off and Noah fell to the ground, still pretty much asleep.
"Evil never sleeps," Chris retorted. "and neither will you! Besides, superheroes don't do the things of mere mortals! They have screaming ladies to rescue!" Chef is briefly shown fanning himself in mock excitement.
"Actually several heroes and villains are no more than mere mortals. You were just dressed as BatPerson. What's his superpower being rich?" Gwen scoffed.
"That does give you an advantage in life." Amber pointed out.
"You make a point.": Gwen nodded.
"Yeah? Well how would like to be on the receiving end of BatPerson's tech?" Chris asked. Gwen backed off. "Yeah, that's what I thought. Now shut it!"
"There are three things intrinsic to all good superhero movies," The host began. "One: superheroes have super powers. Two: superheroes save people. And my personal favorite, three: superheroes wear tights." Jo, Duncan, Sammy, Topher, and a just barely standing up Noah are shown. Which means, you will all be wearing teensy-tiny tights!" Sammy seemed okay with this while Jo, Duncan, and Topher protested. Noah just yawned.
"Why are you all in your PJs?" Chris scowled. "Get dressed and meet me back
on set at superhero speed. Which means, you should already be back here! And make sure to wear something that goes with brightly-hued spandex!"
/
The boys are shown walking back to the trailer, Noah's barely putting one foot in front of the other. "Okay, I know you're not a morning person, but why are you so tired?": Duncan asked.
"I don't wanna talk about it." Noah groaned.
(confessional)
Noah:So Chef made us burritos last night, and I made the mistake of eating one. Do you know how hard it is to sleep through bloating? Beans never sit well with me.
Static
/
The girls are shown walking towards their trailer as well. "So what's Jo's superpower, being obnoxious?" Amber scoffed.
"Better than yours which is being lame." Jo retorted.
"I wonder how Duncan's doing?" Gwen thought.
(Confessional)
Jo: Okay, so Stuncan is a good player, So's Gwen, a power couple could really be a problem. I need to talk with Scrawny about this.
Static
A distance shot of the film lot is briefly shown before the focus moved to the city portion and a flash transition takes us back to the city set. Chris stands before the contestants, who are now standing by eight sewing machines in a row. Several trash cans of fabric stand to Chris' right.
"For your first challenge," the host began, "each of you will create your own superhero identity."
"Nice." Gwen smirked.
"You'll make your own superhero costume using nothing but your fertile imagination," Chris continued "and tons of spandex!" The cans full of spandex are briefly shown before a beeping sound prompts the focus to out, revealing Chef has arrived with a dump truck, which dumped a pile of junk on to the ground. " And some other junk! You'll be judged on originality and style of costume,how rocking your superpower is, and how cool your superhero name is! Top score wins an advantage in the next round. Chef will, of course, play the supervillain. which let's face it, won't be much of a stretch."
A green circular insignia with a radioactive yellow ring around the edge and an snake head in the same color transitioned to show Chef in a green costume with the same insignia on the chest with darker green boots and a viperous hood in the same shade. To his left is an orange cat with a green mask on. "Meet, Pythonicus!" the host declared. "And his sidekick kitty, Dander Boy! They will sabotage you at every turn."
"Any questions?" Chris asked Everyone raised a hand. ""No? Perfect! Aaaannnd, action!"
"I want that black one!" Gwen called.
"No way! I wanna use black!" Jo argued grabbing the same roll.
(Confessional)
Gwen: Sometimes I swear Jo just wants to cause trouble.
Static
The Jockette stomped on Gwen's foot and ran off with the roll of spandex. "Later loser!" She called back.
/
The insignia of Pythonicus transitions to Sammy working on a pair of white leggings, The focus shifted left to where Pythocius is holding Dander Boy by the scruff of the neck. He throws the cat and the focus follows it to Sammy's leggings, whereupon the feline began to scratch the leggings apart.
The insignia of Pythonicus flashed on screen again. Gwen is at the pile of junk holding a faux fur boa made to look like a black cat. , green clad arm of the super villain reached down and grabbed it from her hands, the sounds of something being torn up can be heard.
The insignia of Pythonicus flashed on screen. Amber is working with green spandex on the sewing machine. The focus pulled back to shown Pythonicus dropping a scrap of red fabric on to it. It went through the sewing machine and Amber immediately noticed, frowning at the super villain.
The insignia of Pythonicus flashed on screen and Topher is shown affixing a large golden microphone pin on to his suit. He turns and Pythonicus takes the pin and replaces it with a gold pin shaped like a dollar sign instead. Topher looks at the pin and shrugs.
The insignia of Pythonicus flashed on screen. Duncan is leaning against the table with the sewing machines doing nothing but rubbing two fingers together. Pythonicus looked back and forth and walked away seeing nothing to do.
The insignia of Pythonicus flashed on screen. Noah is drawing some kind of plans. He turns and Pythonicus scribbled all over them in red crayon. When Noah turns back he rolls his eyes and flips the paper over.
The insignia of Pythonicus flashed on screen. Alejandro is feeding something made of red fabric through his sewing machine. Pythonicus ducked under it and pressed a wire against the plug sending electricity through the wire to electrocute the Spaniard.
The insignia of Pythonicus flashed on screen one final time and Pythonicus and Dander boy are shown in the same poses from earlier to end the montage.
/
A runway with a set of pink curtains leading backstage is shown. To it's direct right is a panel of Judges. Chris, Pythonicus and Dander boy. Various standing lights are about the area. "Now wearing a superhero costume of her own design," Chris dramatically introduced as the focus was on the pink curtains leading backstage, and a pair of stage lights turned on. " our first super-model!"
Amber stepped out from behind the curtain. She was dressed in a green spandex dress with green leggings that had a leaf design on them and green boots. Her braids had a green ribbon interwoven with them, and she held a long green rope made of fabric.
Chris sighed. "State your name and superpower,"
" I am Plantara, I have phytokinesis!" Amber declared.
"Phyto what now?" Chris asked.
"Phytokinesis." Amber repeated, Chris gave her a flat look. "I can control plants?"
"That's dumb power." Chris said. Amber threw the green rope she was holding out to wrap the host in it.
"I have captured you in my vine!" She declared.
"Yeah." Chris deadpanned. "Still not feeling it, that's worth a whole three points."
Amber stomped off. "Why does everyone diss phytokinesis?!"
Sammy walked to the end of the runway and posed. She was wearing her usual cheerleading outfit with white spandex leggings and matching go go boots. She was holding two red pom poms and her hair was in pigtails.
"Okay? What do you do?" Chris asked.
"I am Cheergirl! I can give people the ability to do anything with the power of cheering! I also have exploding Pom Poms!" Sammy explained, throwing the pom pom at Chris. Dander boy hissed and started to attack them.
"Lame powers, decent costume. Four points next." Chris decided writing it down.
/
Topher stopped in from of the judges panel wearing what looked like a normal business dark blue suit save for the fact it was made of spandex. He had a blue tie with the gold dollar pin on it. "Dude you look like a businessman not a superhero." Chris said.
"I am Hostpher! I have the ability to look sharp in any situation, make anyone my fan, and blind people with my smile." Topher declared. He finished by smiling, his teeth were so shiny Chef fell over. "I was inspired by you."
"Impressive, six points." Chris said.
/
Duncan stood on stage looking exactly the same, save for a large eye he placed in the center of his forehead. "Dude where are your tights?"
"I don't do spandex. I'm the all seeing eye and I've got physic powers. I can see into the future." Duncan said.
"Yeah right." Noah scoffed as he exited backstage. He had removed his red sweater vest and blue button up so only his white undershirt was on. A large pulsing brain insignia was taped to it at the center of his chest, and he was wearing gray spandex pants.
Duncan put his hand to his head. "Noah is about to experience a painful fall." As Noah reached the end of the runway Duncan tripped him.
"Even I saw that one coming. Two points. Chris scoffed. "Noah?"
The cynic had righted himself at this point he yawned, clearly still tired. "I'm brainiac and I have both telekinesis and telepathy." He deadpanned.
"Then what am I thinking right now?" Chris asked.
"You're thinking my costume is incredibly stupid." He smirked.
Chris looked like he wanted to protest but couldn't. "Fine, six points."
/
Jo was wearing a gray spandex suit, black gloves with spikes on the knuckles and black boots. She wore black jacket as well. "I'm Bruiser,!"
"Nice costume and what's your power?" Chris asked.
"I deal in vigilante justice. I can make anyone beg for mercy by threatening them." Jo smirked.
"Interesting, care to demonstrate?" Chris asked.
"I was hoping you'd ask." Jo picked up Chris by the back of his collar and pulled back her fist. "Hope you've got a good plastic surgeon, your face will need it."
"You wouldn't?" Chris gasped.
"Try me." The jockette said. Silence for a few moments. Just as it looked like she was about to punch…
"Stop! Just leave my face alone!" Chris screamed. Jo put him back down. "That's a pretty effective superpower. Eight points."
/
Gwen was wearing a black spandex one piece, her normal boots, a short black cape, and a headband with the ears from the fake cat boa she'd been seen with in the montage glued to it. "I'm Jynx, and I cause bad luck."
"Seriously?" Chris went to mark something on his clipboard and Gwen stomped her foot, startling Chris and causing the tip of his pencil to break.
"Oops, bad luck." Gwen smirked.
"Fair enough. Seven points." The host decided.
/
Alejandro was dressed in a red spandex suit with a jacket, top hat and cape. A large swirl covered his chest. "I am HypJuilo!"
"And your powers?" Chris asked.
"Hypnosis. Allow me to demonstrate." He snapped his fingers and Topher flew to his side. "Topher? Dazzle them,"
Topher began to tap dance and sing in falsetto. "On the good ship lollipop! It's a sweet trip to a candy shop!"
Chris was laughing. "Okay you can stop."
"And you're back." Alejandro said, snapping his fingers again.
Topher blinked. "Alejandro? How'd I get here? What was I doing? "
"You were just helping me win the challenge." The Spaniard explained.
"Oh, good, why's Chris laughing?" Topher asked.
"That was hilarious. Ten points for sure." Chris said, ignoring Topher's question.
"What? Doesn't Hypnosis seem like a villain power?" Jo protested.
"And threatening to punch people isn't?" Alejandro asked pointedly. Jo looked like she wanted to protest, but kept her mouth shut. "I didn't think so."
"Alejandro wins the first challenge, which means he gets an advantage in the next one!" Chris declared.
(Confessional)
Alejandro: My uncle Juilo is a hypnotist, I drew inspiration from him. It's fortunate Topher was so willing to be hypnotized. I must admit, part of the reason I humiliated him is to make up for his confrontations with Sammy lately.
Static
Topher: Honestly, being hypnotized felt really nice. I wouldn't mind letting him do it again.

The scene faded back in to show several set pieces on the far left was a cut out of a burning house, then mattress in front of a backdrop of a forest at dusk. Then a large skyscraper building with a clock on it and on the far right a target trampoline in front of yet another dusk lit backdrop. The focus shifted right to show the host and contestants right next to a ladder with a diving board above the trampoline.
"For your second challenge, we will be testing your super prowess." Chris explained.
(Confessional)
Gwen: Chris doesn't actually expect us to use our powers right? I mean I'm pretty sure the only one who actually has their power is Alejandro. Speaking of how freaky is it that he can hypnotize people?
Static
"You'll have to leap over a building in a single bound," Chris explained."using this trampoline from the set of the movie 'Trampoline Thunder 2'! Awesome flick, You'll be judged on how far and how high you jump," The focus shifted up to the diving board. "And please, properly time your landing as we wouldn't want you to land anywhere other than on this soft, cushy mattress." The focus moved left to the mattress from earlier where Dander Boy is licking himself. The cat let out a startled meow as several springs popped out of it. Then to the contestants some of which were nervous.
"Our first and foremost priority at Total Drama Action is you safety and well-being," Chris said, before bursting into laughter. "Next, you'll have to save a woman falling from a building," The focus shifted over to the left where the cutout of the burning building stood. Pythonicous poked out of the cut out's window holding a sack of potatoes in a pink dress. "The woman will be played by a sack of potatoes in a dress. Which will be a real catch for you guys," The host quipped. Duncan and Noah exchanged flat looks.
(confessional)
Noah: (yawn) Please, Chris is getting less play than any of us
Static
Duncan: Like Chris is one to talk, he probably had dinner with that thing last night.
Static
A small table with a red cloth sits between two chairs, the left one holding Chris, and the right one holding the sack of potatoes in a dress. Upon it was a candle and a wine glass which Chris poured red wine into.
/
"And finally, you'll walk across a power line during a meteor shower!" Chris declared as the focus moved right past the burning building cut out to a series out power lines over several mattresses. The focus shifted in on Pythonicus tossing a bowling ball up and down, he threw it through a water tower which began to burst. "The person to finish the course with the best time wins invincibility!" Chris finished as the contestants turned their incredulous faces towards him. "Alejandro, you're up first. Ten seconds will be shaved off your time for winning the first round." Alejandro walked by Jo with a smug smirk on his face. She rolled her eyes.
(Confessional)
Jo: Al might have won the first part of the challenge, but in the end I will win the million. I mean sure he has more allies, but when you're as awesome as me you don't need allies.
Static
Chris is now holding a stopwatch. "And Action!"
Alejandro leapt from the diving board in a perfect dive, easily jumped over the building and rolled to his feet on the mattress. He ran towards the cut out of the burning building and caught the sack of potatoes in his hands, then tossed it aside. As the sack hit the ground Chris chuckled. "Looks like we're having real mashed potatoes tonight huh Chef? None of that powdered stuff."
"Oh yeah, letting the damsel hit the ground is real heroic." Jo scoffed.
He ran to the power lines and swiftly climbed to the top. He quickly dodged a bowling ball headed for him, and the focus briefly shifted to pythonicus throwing a second bowling ball. Up on the wires Alejandro flipped, ducked, and sidled across the powerlines until he reached the end then jumped to the ground and landed easily on his feet.
"And time!. Nice job HypJuilo with your ten second deduction that's twenty-eight seconds." Chris said.
Alejandro smugly walked past Jo. "I'd like to see you top that."
"I will, easily!" Jo retorted.
/
"Noah you're up." Chris said.
Noah was yawning yet again. "Fine. Let's get this over with."
A flash transition shows Noah at the top of the diving board. He jumped off and landed in the center of the trampoline. Noah's light weight caused him to shoot up higher than expected. Noah let out a high pitched scream as he flew over the cut out of a tall building completely over the mattress and directly towards the cut out of the burning building. Pythonicus poked his head out ot drop the bag of potatoes but ducked back in as Noah slammed through the window.
We hear him groan and then Pythonicus picks him up by the collar of his shirt and drops him out of the building. Noah landed on the ground, and before he could get up the bag of potatoes in a dress landed directly on him. Noah groaned yet again.
"Ooh. Now that's gotta hurt." Chris chuckled.
Noah slowly got up and walked over to the power lines where he dragged himself to the top. He attempted to walk across the powerline when a bowling ball flew towards him. Noah gave the camera a resigned look as it slammed into him, sending him on to one of the mattresses below. Despite how clearly uncomfortable, dirty, and springy the mattress was he instantly fell asleep.
"Looks like you didn't make it." Chris said from off screen.
(confessional)
Noah: (Is scratching his head.) I knew those disgusting mattresses were infested with roaches. (He pulls the insect out of his hair and crushes it.) I need a long shower.
Static
A montage of the final six contestants doing the course is shown. Duncan is shown climbing up the diving board. Then Sammy is shown crawling onto it. Gwen is shown Jumping, followed by Jo, and Amber hitting the trampoline. She bounced up and hit into the back of the cut out tall building.
Sammy flew over the building her foot catching on the roof of the cut out causing her to fall. Jo easily soared over it, as did Topher. Duncan lands on the mattress and ran to the cut out of the burning building. Pythonicus dropped the bag of potatoes out the window, where Gwen easily caught the sack of potatoes in a dress. Sbe threw it aside and Sammy nearly ran into it, just managing to flip over it at the last second.
Jo is easily rolling across the powerlines. Pythonicus is shown throwing a bowling ball, then the focus shifted back to Duncan who was hit by the bowling ball, but as he fell he managed to catch the power line with his hand and pull himself back up to ran across the lines again. Then Gwen manages to dodge a few bowling balls. Pythonicus is shown throwing yet another bowling ball, up on the powerline the ball hit Amber, who fell off the lines and on to the mattresses below. Topher was shocked as he ran across the powerlines and ended up falling on top of Amber.
The montage ended with Chris stopping the stopwatch. "Now this is unexpected. Bruiser got twenty eight seconds, and as you know HypJulio got twenty eight seconds thanks to his advantage from the first challenge. So I guess that means you both get immunity, which means you can't vote each other out!" The host laughed. "I love this show! Now, you guys may be superheroes but you also smell super gross. Time to hit the showers, and decide who's gonna get kicked to the curb."
/
Gwen and Duncan are on one of the benches between the two trailers. The goth has her head on his shoulder and sighs happily. "So who should we vote out? I mean we can't vote for Jo or Alejandro, so…"
"I say we vote for Topher. That guy's one of Al's biggest allies. It'd hurt him." Duncan said.
"True. but the two of us won't be enough." The goth pointed out.
"I'll talk to Noah, you talk to Jo." Duncan said, kissing Gwen.
The goth smirked. "This is nice. Being with you is nice…"
"You getting sentimental on me Pasty?" The punk smirked.
"Maybe a little, but you can't tell me you hate it." Gwen smiled, pressing her lips to Duncan.
Unbeknownst to the two, someone is watching in the shadows.
/
In the bathroom Sammy and Amber are in front of the mirrors wearing towels as they talk. "So who should we vote out?" Sammy asked.
"Well since Jo is out of the question and Topher is in our alliance that leaves Noah, Gwen, and Duncan." Amber said.
"I say we vote out Gwen or Stuncan." Jo said, exiting the bathroom stall. "Scrawny's smart but he's pretty weak."
Amber pursed her lips. "Duncan and Gwen are both good players…"
Sammy gasped. "But Duncan and Gwen just barely got together!"
"Exactly, which makes them a threat!" Jo pointed out.
Sammy and Amber exchanged looks. "I might be willing to vote out Duncan." Amber said.
"But it seems so mean." Sammy frowned.
"Mean Schean, you wanna make it far you gotta make sacrifices." Jo said.
Sammy swallowed. "Okay, I'll consider it."
/
Jo is exiting the bathroom and comes across Gwen. "Hey, so I was thinking. Alejandro's got a pretty big alliance. We need to spilt them up. Duncan and I are thinking of voting out Topher."
"Why him? Tweedle Dumb's more psychically intimidating." Jo said.
"Sure, but Topher's a host's pet. Who knows what advantages he could get?" Gwen pointed out.
"True… I'll think about it." The jockette said.
/
Jo is outside the boy's trailer. "Hey, Scrawny?" Noah groaned as he came to the window.
"The film lot had better be on fire." He yawned.
"So I'm thinking we vote out Stuncan. He and Gwen are tight, and that's dangerous." Jo said.
"True, but so's Alejandro's alliance." Noah said.
"Yeah, but come on Braids and Slowpher are constantly fighting. That alliance is a ticking bomb." Jo replied.
"You make a point." The cynic said. "If I say yes will you let me sleep?"
"Absolutely." The jockette smirked.
"Then fine." Noah said.
"Pleasure working with you." Jo said.
(Confessional)
Jo: I'd say I'm doing pretty good at shaking things up.
Static
Noah turned around and the focus shifted inside to show him moving towards his bed. The trailer door slammed open. "Noah?" Duncan asked.
"Why can't anyone let me sleep?!" Noah moaned.
"You can sleep in a minute. Pasty and I are voting for Topher, you in?" Duncan asked.
Noah nodded sleepily. Duncan smirked and exited. Topher and Alejandro came in. "Noah would you consider-" The Spaniard began.
"The next person to keep me awake will find crushed up roaches in their facial cream, and after today I know where to find them!" the cynic snapped, before rolling over to try and sleep.
"Touchy." Topher scoffed.

The stage with the two giant Chris statues is shown as spotlights wave in front of it. A series of clips featuring Chris from last season ,several of them just him talking, roll over the screen in two parallel lines, a vertical line of clips include one where Chris is dress as a pirate rolls down between them, as two more clips, one of Chris in a helicopter and one of him with a clapboard, move out to either side, the focus zooms out to show a giant gilded Chris as fireworks go for in the background.
The amphitheater is shown, with the contestants sitting on their wooden benches with the voting devices in hand. Chris walked to the podium clad in his usual blue tux for the ceremony. "And now we vote." The contestants are shown putting in their votes. Then the focus shifted back to Chris. "And the gilded Chris goes to..." Pythonicus lowered himself upside down from the ceiling to give Chris the results. "And the gilded Chris goes to, Alejandro, and Jo." The two rivals glared at each other as they caught their awards. The focus shifted to each contestant as Chris listed them off. "Sammy," The twin looked relieved. "Noah," The cynic had fallen asleep against Topher this time. The blonde didn't seem to mind. "And Amber." The bookworm smirked. "It's down to the final three." Chris said. "Gwen."
The goth looked concerned as she wrapped her arms around Duncan. The Punk looked nervous. "And finally..." The focus shifted from a confident Topher, to a glaring Duncan, to Gwen biting her lip in nervousness. "...

Topher." Chris tossed the final award.
Gwen gasped, then her eyes narrowed and she turned towards the others. "Okay, I can see Jo, Alejandro and Topher voting for Duncan. Who else?"
Sammy stared at her feet as she raised a hand. Amber folded her arms. "Well we couldn't vote out Jo, and we're not voting against our own alliance. Since you and Duncan are together it was the most strategic choice."
"I thought we were friends!" Gwen glared. "At least Sammy feels bad." Amber said nothing.
Duncan took the goth's award and threw it at Noah's face. "What?" He yawned.
"Who'd you vote for?" The punk asked.
"I don't know, I was too asleep to pay attention." The cynic admitted.
Gwen turned to Duncan and hugged him tight. "I'm gonna miss you!"
The punk looked taken aback again but hugged her back with one arm. He used the other to cup her cheek and lift her head to look at him. "Hey, you're a strong girl Pasty. You take anything this game throws at you. " The two moved to kiss, and Chris popped up between them with an irate look on his face.
"Okay, okay enough with all the warmth and affection! Time for the walk of shame."

As Duncan moved to walk down the red carpet Gwen kissed him. "Chris isn't gonna stop me from getting one last kiss."
"And that's what I mean. You can handle yourself even without me alright? I'll be rooting for you the whole time." Duncan told her.
Duncan began to make his walk. "Duncan?" A tired voice asked. The punk looked back at Noah.
"I decided the best way to show Crimson how I feel is; to show her how I feel. If you run into her could you show her-" Noah asked.
Duncan smirked. "No problem." He turned and continued his walk.
The focus shifted to Chris as he smirked at the camera. "It's goodbye to Duncan, who despite his name couldn't 'duck' elimination!" He began to laugh and then yelped in pain. The focus moved out to show Gwen had kicked him in the shin. "I guess I should have seen that coming." A snore was followed by Noah falling to Chris' feet. "And that."
The focus moved in on Chris as he began his outro. "and you should see what's coming next time on Total Drama Action!" The focus moved out to show Noah is now snuggling Chris' leg. "Chef? A little help here?!"
(Bonus Clip)
Duncan is sitting in the Lame-O-Sine with his arms crossed. "I guess I should have figured they'd vote out one of us once both Alejandro and Jo got immunity. I'm kinda glad it's me and not Pasty. Besides this show sucks. Nice to be done with it all. Done with Chef's crappy food, and the lame challenges, and Chris' ego. I'm planning to watch the show when I get home just to support Pasty, but that's it. I'm done." Someone says something and Duncan's brow furrowed as he glared. "Aftermath? Fuck that!"
A/N: I know, I know I voted out Duncan early merge last season too. The thing is, either he or Gwen had to go here and since I know what Duncan does canonically I decided to make it him. Basically its the same as the Harold situation. Honestly even canonwise there seems to some rule that once a couple gets together in their debut season one of them will be eliminated. I knew I wanted Alejandro and Jo to tie so they both got immunity. Not only to get Duncan out, but because the irony of them not being able to vote the other out was too funny.
Coming up with everyone's costumes and superpowers was fun. Especially Alejandro's since he actually can hypnotize people. Gwen's is a reference to a couple of superheros/villains. Amber's is based around my own feelings on how underrated a power like phytokineis is. We know Topher wants to be a host. Jo seemed like she'd be all about that vigilante life.
I hope I'm not overdoing the AleTopher. I just think Topher's obvious crush is funny.
Noah's running gag was something I came up with after I saw in canon Lashawna dragging Courtney to the challenge with her face mask still on. It felt like an apportate role for Noah, and the gag just kept going. I think it's really funny, and it lines up with his canon gag of having unfortunate things happen to Noah when he's sleeping.
Next time Geoff and Kitty are struggling between being fired and their own morals, Amy gets electrocuted, and reveals some of her problems with Sammy., Ellody chats with an old friend, Duncan has to talk about his feelings for Gwen.
