A/N: Get ready to rock and roll! With hopefully a better elimination than the canon one.
With respect to the reviewers:
Crosshot: Yeah but he'll have his yet.
Gucci Mane LaFlare: I thought Topher overreacting would be a good replacement for Harold's gravitas.
The recap begins with the usual distance shot of the film lot. "Last time on Total Drama Action!" Gwen is shown taking a bite of a breakfast taco and getting a usb. Jo puts the USB in her PDA. Then Chris is shown giving everyone his message on Jo's PDA. Noah is shown trying to open the safe door, and being pushed out of the way by Jo who opened it herself. Finally Alejandro is getting Topher's handprint and hair. "Gwen took a big bite of who dunnit in our most mysterious episode yet. After the contestant cracked the code of Chris' mysterious message, They stealthily had to fetch prints and DNA from each other."
The contestants are shown on the train as Chef pushes in a trolley of sweets. Then every contestant except Alejandro is shown standing in the aisle as the lights go out. Then Topher is shown pulling out the magnifying glass from the black bag, and solving the murder. Noah's shown getting upset, then Topher is shown unlocking Alejandro's cuffs, and the two are shown at the movies with Alejandro looking into Topher's eyes. "A party reward on a train quickly turned into a hunt for my murderer. Somehow it was Topher who was declared the Sherlockiest of them all, upsetting Noah who had figured out he was the murderer and was trying to win the reward by getting away with it. In the end Topher took Alejandro to the movies where Alejandro pretended to make up with him as part of his ultimate plot."
The large projector screen at the amphitheater showed Alejandro's picture on it, then Topher's, then Noah's, after that Chris was shown with the rubber copy of himself watching the screen a bag of popcorn in hand. He accidentally knocked the dummy over and the scene flashed to Chris in front of trailers to end the recap. "Will Alejandro's plot for revenge work? Will Topher succeed in his quest to bring Alejandro to villainous glory? Will Noah ever manage to win a reward? Am I even cooler now that I'm alive again? Find out most of these things on this 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 proper begins with a flock of birds flying through the air, then the focus shifted down to show a deer eating grass and a pink bird on a tree branch. A cheerful hum went through the air, and the focus shifted to the communal restrooms. Topher exited in nothing but a towel humming to himself as he made his way to the boy's trailer.
"You're in a good mood. Did last night's 'date' go well?" Noah asked.
"It wasn't a date, but yeah, it did. Alejandro decided to give me a second chance." Topher explained as he began to brush his hair.
"Oh you must be thrilled." Noah muttered, looking out the window. "If you'll excuse me."
Outside the trailers Jo had just exited the girl's trailers holding a towel and walked off screen. Noah stepped out of the boys trailer and followed. The scene flashed to the showers inside the communal bathrooms. Noah tiptoed into the showers and swallowed. "If anyone catches me in here I'm gonna be dead." He moved towards Jo's clothing, which had been left on the floor, and very carefully removed Jo's PDA from her pocket. He swiftly placed it in the pocket of his khaki shorts and tip toed back out.
(confessional)
Noah: (Holding the PDA.) Okay I finally got my hands on it. I'm convinced Jo is hiding something on this thing. Considering how protective she is of it. I should be able to break in. I just have to hope I manage it before Jo kills me.
Static
Jo exited the shower in a towel. She reached in her hoodie pocket. Her eyes widened in shock and she began to look through her clothes hurriedly. "Where is it? Where is it?" determining it was gone Jo let out a roar.
/
At the trailers the roar echoed. The scene cut inside the girl's trailer, where both Sammy and Gwen were applying lipstick. This caused both girl to streak their lipstick off of their lips.
"Wow, Jo's really mad." Sammy said as she took a tissue in her hand and began to wipe the red lipstick off her cheek.
"So what else is new?" Gwen groaned, in the process of wiping teal lipstick off her own cheek.
"I don't know, this seems worse than normal." The twin said. At that moment Jo slammed the door of the trailer open, still in her towel, her clothes tucked under her arm.
"Where is it?" The jockette growled.
"Where is what?" Gwen asked.
"Don't mess with me, one of you must have taken it." Jo said.
"Taken what?" Sammy asked.
"My PDA! It's gone!" The jockette told them.
"Oh no, not the PDA you totally deserve to have considering you won a lawsuit." Gwen said sarcastically.
"Don't test me. Were you the one who took it? Out of jealousy?" Jo asked.
"Calm down! When was the last time you had it?" Sammy asked.
"In my hoodie pocket just before I showered." The jockette answered.
"Then it couldn't have been Gwen or I! We've been in here getting ready the whole time! So I can confirm Gwen didn't do it, and Gwen can confirm I didn't do it." The cheerleader said.
"True, unless you're in this together." Jo thought.
"Well, assuming we're not, that leaves the boys to have taken it. " Gwen said.
"It could be any of them. They're all suspicious. Slowpher likes to cause drama, Al's always looking for an edge in the game, and Scrawny has been known to use information against people." Jo determined. "I'm going to find out, nothing will distract-"
The sound of drums playing interrupted the jockette. The focus shifted outside to show all of the contestants exiting the trailers. In between the trailers is Chef playing on a green drum set. Chris stood next to him. "Nice of you to join us, today's movie genre is," He turned to Chef. "Drumroll please." The cook eagerly obliged, a few moments later Chris opened his mouth to speak only to realize Chef was still going. After giving him some side eye the host snapped. "Okay, Ringo, the spotlight's not big enough for the both of us." Chef stopped giving him an annoyed look.
"Today's movie genre is-" Chris began, getting interrupted by Chef starting up another drum roll which was quickly stopped as Chris glared at him. "The rock and roll biopic!"
"Sweet! I love rock and roll!" Gwen cheered, pretending to play a guitar.
(confessional)
Jo: Normally I'd be stoked, but with my PDA stolen everyone is suspect. Everyone.
Static
"What's a Biopic?" Sammy asked.
"It's like a biography only it's a movie, and usually overly dramatic." Noah explained.
"Thank you Noah, now shut up!" Chris snapped. The cynic rolled his eyes. "And stop taking my lines!" His features smoothed out. "Now any good rock and roll biopic starts with a kid from humble beginnings drawn into the seemingly glam world of rock music. After overcoming enormous hardship, the kid gets a break and makes it ginormous! Bigger than me even." The host bragged, gesturing to himself smugly.
"The kid is then drawn into a scandalous world of stuff I'm not allowed to talk about with sixteen year olds." Chris continued. "Things that lead to dangerous addictions, multiple divorces, the occasional night in the joint and an untimely death, while sitting on a toilet."
/
Chris is sitting in the security room. "Please do not try any of the aforementioned at home, or I will be sued, and would be unable to afford the maintenance of this fabulous smile." The host flashed a gleaming grin.
/
"A few things any certifiable rock god needs to know that I can talk about?" Chris said. "You need to know how to rock out on the guitar," the host mimed playing a guitar. "How to work the paparazzi," He placed a pair of sunglasses on. "And trash a hotel room." He threw the glasses away. "Any questions?"
"Are we playing actual guitars?" Gwen asked.
"Can you tell us more about the scandalous stuff?" Topher asked.
"Are you actually paying attention to these questions?" Alejandro asked
"Kind of, no, and yes." Chris smirked. "Alright people, time for your next big gig. Meet me at the big stadium in ten minutes." The host continued as he walked past Sammy and Gwen. "You can't miss it." Chef walked past with the drum kit in hand.
/
The contestants are all shown walking down the sidewalk. "I'm beginning to think Chris was lying about the stadium to mess with us." Alejandro huffed.
"Wouldn't put it past him." Jo added.
"I hope he's not mad at us for being late." Sammy sighed.
Chris is shown in close up with bits of a purple background in view behind him. "I said ten minutes, not ten hours!" The host said, checking his watch.
"You said to meet at the big stadium." Noah said as the focus pulled back to show the full background previously seen behind Chris. It featured a skull with two lightning bolts and two guitars on fire.
"And this is just the stupid gilded Chris Award ceremony." Gwen finished as the focus moved even further back to show that the background was set up on the stage where eliminations were held, only taking up a portion of it.
Chris smirked. "Not bad. First step to becoming a rock legend is to show up late for your own show. For your first challenge you're going to be rocking out on the guitar!"
"Luckily I am capable of playing several instruments, including the guitar." Alejandro bragged.
"I know a little. Trent taught me some basic cords before he was voted out." Gwen smiled. "Of course that was an acoustic guitar…"
"Hold on conclusion jumpers. Since I'ms guessing most of you can't read, let alone read music, you'll be playing a guitar shaped peripheral. " Chris explained. The focus shifted over to a screen with a dark purple background with light blue stars surrounding a red guitar peripheral. "The notes will be represented by colored notes on screen which corresponds with your guitar. You will play simultaneously during which you'll be eliminated. Every time you play a wrong note," Chris pretended to be shocked.
"You're not really gonna electrocute us? Are you?" Sammy gulped.
"Me? Electrocute you? Of course not! " The host reassured ." The guitar will electrocute you!" He laughed. "But don't worry you'll live though you may never be able to play the piano again."
"I can't play the piano anyway." Jo scoffed.
"Or play sports." Chris smirked.
"Are you kidding me?!" The jockette said.
(confessional)
Noah: Okay, I can't play an actual guitar, but a peripheral? I can play a peripheral. I have the highest score on the Guitar Zero online leaderboard, and I haven't been dethroned yet. Or at least I wasn't before this season started.
Static
Chris is sitting in his director chair. "Are you ready to rock?!"
All of the contestants are now on stage. Sammy on the far left with a banjo peripheral, followed by Gwen on a black Y shaped peripheral, Jo on a guitar with a union jack on it, Alejandro on a skull guitar peripheral, Noah on an acoustic guitar peripheral, and finally Topher on a red and white guitar. .
"Time to shred it like it's hot!" Gwen declared.
"Whatever that means." Noah added.
"And Rock on!" Chris declared.
The music began and the focus shifted to Topher playing his guitar as fast as he could. The focus shifted back to Chris. "Look Topher's on fire!" The host said. "Seriously, his guitar is on fire."
Chef approached the stage as the focus shifted back to Topher. His guitar finally caught fire. The blonde threw the guitar off him. "My hair! Is my hair on fire?!" Chef threw a bucket of water on the guitar which was unfortunately close enough to Topher to electrocute him anyway. "My hair!"
Gwen got excited and did a power slide… right off the stage. "Ouch!" Chris said as the focus shifted to him. "Well that's two down, three to go."
The screen with the guitar peripheral on it was shown briefly before the focus shifted down to the stage where Jo is only hitting a note every so often. Sammy hit so many wrong notes her guitar exploded. The focus shifted to Alejandro who was playing his guitar peripheral with great ease. Next to him Noah is also playing perfectly. The Spainard's eyes narrowed, Noah smirked back.
"Take him down Alejandro!" Topher cheered.
"Please, I bet five bucks Noah wins this." Gwen smirked.
The focus shifted back to Jo who was still only playing the occasional note. Then the focus moved out to show all three of the remaining contestants on stage. Alejandro and Noah were both hitting every note still, and they were giving each other intense stares. The focus shifted rapidly from Alejandro to Noah three or four times. Then Chris was shown watching in awe, and the three losers were shown cheering.
The focus shifted to all three contestants again, with Noah and Alejandro completely invested in their rock off. Jo meanwhile was still hitting the occasional note. Then she smashed her guitar into the stage, breaking it.
"Nice one Jo, you broke it." Chris said.
"Yeah and it was awesome." Jo smirked.
"Impressive, all of you, but the winner is," Chris said. Chef started a drumroll, the focus briefly shifted to Alejandro and Noah both looking expectant. "Jo!"
"What?" Noah complained.
"Que?" Alejandro said.
"Yes!" Jo cheered.
"But we hit every note." Alejandro glared.
"Yes, but you tried way too hard, and if there's one thing rock stars don't do, it's try. Even a little. You saw Jo." Chris said.
"Yeah, she hit every tenth note and broke her guitar." Noah complained.
"Exactly." Chris said.
"So what you're saying is if I was a lazy as I tend to be I'd have one?" Noah groaned. "I hate this game."
"I still beat you." Alejandro claimed.
"Please." Noah scoffed.
"Watch and learn scrubs." Jo said. "I'm certainly keeping my eye on both of you. Taken any electronics recently?" She glared.
"We'll be right back, as soon as Jo chills and both Noah and Alejandro get over their humiliating defeat." Chris smirked.

Several camera flashes go off, courtesy of three people whose hands are the only thing visible. One of which is clearly the Sasquatchwanakwa. Flashes continue to go off as the Lame-o-sine pulls up to the red carpet where Chef awaits wearing his black tail coat and purple tie.
The focus briefly shifted to the six contestants watching. Then back to the Lame-O-sine where Chef opens the door to reveal Chris in his powder blue tux, a microphone in hand. "Welcome back to the rock and roll Biopic Edition of Total Drama Action!" The host declared as he stepped on to the red carpet to face the contestants. "Now in order to become a true rock immortal you must know how to work the paparazzi. "
A large silhouetted crowd is shown along the red carpet of shame which now lead to a red door with a star on it. Several cutouts pop out of the floor to slide forward. The first is a white woman with a short bob of ginger hair in a striped teal tube top and khaki culottes holding a camera. The second is an overweight white man in a fedora with a pink jacket with white polka dots over a white shirt, Jean shorts and sneakers. He is also holding a camera. Third, another white woman with long brown hair wearing a pink sweatband with matching gloves, some sort of tube top hidden behind her arms, a jean mini skirt, long pink stockings and black boots. She looked like she was fangirling. Finally a white woman with short brown bob, wearing a red shirt with a very low dollar and off the cuff sleeves, jean shorts and brown sandals. She had a pencil in one hand and a pad of paper in the other.
"The first part of your second challenge is a an obstacle course of fans, photohogs, groupies, and autograph hounds." Chris explained. "The challenges starts at the Lame-o-sine, up the red carpet, past the obstacles and finally backstage." As the host spoke the focus moved up the red carpet, past the four cutouts to the star door and behind to show a small room with green walls, a green couch, a green chair and a large flatscreen Tv at the head.
"The contestants are shown as Chris continued. "One of you will win. The rest will be celebrity roadkill. Jo for winning the first challenge, you get our backstage pass," The host handed a card on a lanyard to Jo. So you'll start halfway."
(confessional)
Jo: How sweet would it be if this was real! (She looks at the card.) All access membership buff and tone spa?! (Chris popped his head in, his chest bare a towel draped over his shoulders.)
Chris: Yeah, I'm gonna be needing that!
Static
"Okay Gwen you're up first." Chris said. He held up a finger and declared, "Action!"
Gwen stepped out of the Lame-o-sine and began down the carpet. "And Gwen's on the move." Chris began, The fat man cutout popped up. "Paparazzi!" Gwen gave the camera some side eyes and walked past.
She walked on and the cutout of the woman with the paper pad popped out. "Autograph hound! Will she sign?" Gwen just walked past. "She won't! Ouch!"
. Both cutouts with camera's popped up ahead. "The tricky-pop-cam-fan attack. Will she make it?" Two flashes went off in Gwen's face and she used an arm to shield her eyes. "Ooh, and Gwen executes a face shield!"
Gwen continued onward to the Groupie who screamed. Gwen rolled her eyes and continued on. "Followed by a complete dismissal of the groupie." A new cut out of a male with a blonde mullet, wearing a green beanie and a long sleeved white shirt holding a blue bag. Gwen took the bag from it. "And a clean swag bag grab!" The host continued as the cutout retreated. 'Nice!"
Next was yet another new cut out, this one was a waiter with a pencil thin mustache holding a tray of sandwiches. Gwen grabbed one of those too. "And she takes the snack!"
Gwen reached the door and a cutout of a large bald bulky white man wearing sunglasses and a black shirt popped up. He stood with his arms crossed. "Final Obstacle: The Vet!"
Gwen glared. "Excuse me? I don't have time for this! I'm due on stage in five minutes!" The cutout retreated into the ground. Gwen walked into the green room.
"Spoke like a true rockstar!" Chris said as he approached. "You screwed up a couple times but you did grab the swag, and luckily for you you get to keep what's inside!" Gwen reached into the bag and pulled out a red book with Chris' face on the cover. "My autobiography, volume one."
(confessional)
Gwen: Of course all the swag was Chris themed. I'm surprised there isn't Chris themed toilet paper! (A hand threw a roll of Toilet paper into the room. Gwen unraveled it to reveal each square had Chris' face on it. She gave the Camera a flat look.) Really?
Static
"Jo you're up!" Chris said as the two stood a bit down the carpet. "Remember you get to skip the Lame-o-sine and half the red carpet." The lame-o-sine saw shown along with all of the contestants who hadn't gone yet." And action!"
Jo ran forward and the two cutouts with cameras popped up. "The tricky pap-fan-cam attack!" The jockette punched out the cutouts' faces. "Ooh. Punching fans isn't a good look."
Jo continued to run forward and the autograph hound popped up. Jo threw the pad out of her hand, and ran on. The groupie popped up next and Jo shoulder slammed into it. Breaking the whole thing in half. "Tough luck for the groupie."
The waiter popped up and Jo threw the tray away, then kicked the cutout of the bouncer in half. Before walking inside. "Ooh, girl, that's a lawsuit waiting to happen. Massive injury claims from the fans, groupie, and the bouncer."
"Who cares? I got here in record time." Jo glared storming off.
"Someone's in a bad mood. What a rockstar!" Chris said.
(confessional)
Jo: I'm still furious about my PDA being stolen, I had to take out that aggression on something,
Static
Noah stepped out of the Lame-o-sine. Every single cutout, several of which had been patched up with duct tape, was met with exactly the same thing. Absolutely nothing, Noah merely walked past the paparazzi, the autograph hound, the fans, the groupie, the swag, and the canapes. The sole expectation was the security guard. "Dude either you let me in there, or you deal with the army of angry fans made by my absence. No skin off my nose either way." Noah said. The cutout withdrew and Noah walked in.
"Okay, there's such a thing as being too distant. Even for rockstars." Chris told him. Noah didn't even answer.
/
Next to exit the Lame-o-sine was Sammy. She nervously waved to the crowd and headed down the carpet. She tripped on a snag in the carpet and fell to her knees. Tears in her eyes Sammy stood back up and continued, only to be blinded by the paparazzi. She rubbed her eyes and continued walking forward, clearly still stunned by the flash. She ran right into the autograph hound. "Oh my gosh I am so sorry!" Sammy gasped, backing away.
Right into the groupie who fell apart despite the duct tape. "I'm so,so, sorry! The cheerleader said, running the rest of the way to the door in an attempt to avoid breaking anything else. She ran right into the bouncer, making him fall apart as well. Sammy sighed and walked into the green room where Chris gave her a disappointed shake of the head. Sammy slumped over.
/
Alejandro exited the Lame-o-sine and walked confidently to the paparazzi. He flexed for the camera, making his eyebrows wiggle suggestively. The autograph hound popped up and Alejandro signed it with ease. He blew a kiss at the female cut out with the camera and gave the male cutout a wave.
When the groupie popped out smirked and threw his shirt at her. He walked past the swag and turned down the sandwich. Leaving only the bouncer. "Do you know who I am? I'm the one in charge of your payment, which could be severely cut if you cause me trouble." The cut out retreated, and Alejandro entered the green room.
"Nice." Chris nodded.
/
Topher exited the Lame-O-sine with a sparkling smile. The paparazzi took their shots and Topher leaned forward and blew a kiss at the camera, an eyebrow raised seductively. Next was the autograph hound, Topher happily signed.
Next was the Groupie. Topher pulled out a pen and signed her stomach. He took the swag and pulled out a blue shirt with Chris' face on it. He put it on, then continued to the waiter where he accepted a canape. Then he walked to the bouncer.
"Hey, handsome." Topher smirked, running a finger over one of his arms. "You're so burly, I like that in a man." The cut out retreated and Topher entered the green room. Chris gave him a thumbs up.
/
Once again the three photographers, one clearly the sasquatchnakwa, flashing their cameras. Chef handed a large brown envelope to Chris. "And now the moment you've all been waiting for! The photographic evidence! Let's see your best shots shall we?"
The focus shifted to an over the shoulder shot to show Chris picking up a stack of photos. "Gwen blocked," The first picture was Gwen using her arm to shield her face. "Jo socked." The next photo was Jo moving to punch the paparazzi. "Noah snubbed." Noah walking past, not even looking at the camera. "Sammy tripped," Sammy fell forward. "Alejandro posed," Alejandro flexing his bicep and wiggling his eyebrows. "But Topher posed better" Topher leaning forward, blowing a kiss at the camera with a seductive brow raised.
"Which means we have a winner!' Chris declared, dropping the photos back into the envelope. Alejandro, Topher, and Jo looked expectant. "Topher!"
The focus shifted to Topher smirking. "Yes! Do I know how to interact with fans or what?!"
"What?! But I had the fastest time!" Jo complained.
"Who said this was a race? The paparazzi means exposure, and Topher not only showed his best side, but affection towards his fans in the photo. So despite Alejandro's good attempt,. Topher wins an advantage in the next part of the challenge where you'll compete for invincibility,"
(Confessional)
Jo: Between my PDA being stolen and losing this challenge. I'm in more than a bad mood. Hopefully this last challenge plays to my strengths.
Static
"Finally, the ultimate rockstar challenge," Chris began, having changed back into his casual clothes. "Trashing a hotel room."
The hotel room set had beige walls; the back wall held two paintings, one of a forest and one of a sunset, a single window with a red curtain and a large mirror in front of which was a desk with an off orange rotary phone on it. The left wall contained a door, a chest of drawers with a table lamp, and a photo of Chris on top, and just above that a smaller mirror. The right wall had a large window, a brown couch, and a TV on a side table. To the left of the TV is a cloche on a serving trolley, and just to the left of that is a fake palm tree. In the center was a large maroon bed.
"You've got thirty seconds on the clock, with Topher getting an additional ten seconds for having won the first part of the challenge." The host continued. The blonde looked smug while Jo grit her teeth. "And action!"
The scene pulled out to show Chef in the security room watching the challenge on a monitor. He had also changed back into his normal clothes.
/
The contestants were shown one at the time trashing the place. Starting with Sammy, the cheerleader frowned in thought before knocking the off orange rotary phone off the desk and breaking the pencil in half.
The scene cut to Chef and Chris in the security room. Neither looked impressed as Chris wrote something on a clipboard.
Noah knocked the lamp off of the chest of drawers and picked up Chris' picture. He broke the glass front and pulled out the actual picture which he began to rip up.
In the security room Chris shed a tear as he noted down Noah's destruction.
Topher stood against the back wall and removed the sunset painting from it, then began to rip the middle out of it. Once finished he reached for the second one, presumably to do the same thing.
(Confessional)
Topher: Well I can't destroy anything too hard it might break my nails, and I just did my cuticles See? (Topher flashes his shiny perfectly manicured nails at the screen.) What kind of monster would I be if I ruined these? Immunity isn't worth it.
Static
Alejandro is pulling every drawer out of the chest of drawers and throws one into the larger mirror. He also breaks the small mirror above the chest of drawers and knocks the remaining frame over.
(confessional)
Alejandro: I must admit, I'm struggling with this challenge a bit. I have stayed in many hotels in the past and mi Mami taught me from an early age to treat the furniture with respect. It wouldn;t look good for a foreign diplomat's family to destroy the hotel room.
Static
Chris and Chef are shown in the security room. The host looks satisfied as he writes on his clipboard. The scene transitioned to Jo breaking a TV screen and throwing both it and the side table it's sitting on out the right window.
The focus shifted over to Gwen, who picked up the cloche from the severing tray revealing a tray of sandwiches. Both Cloche and a tray of sandwiches are thrown out the back window, breaking it with a loud sound.
Gwen smirks, but Jo steps behind her to throw the entire serving trolley out the right window, breaking even more of it. The jockette jumped up and tore down the boom mike. Some stuffing hit her and the focus shifted to Gwen ripping apart all the couch cushions sending stuffing flying everywhere.
Jo walked to the fake palm tree and broke it in half over her knee. The focus shifted to Gwen who had rolled up the maroon carpet and threw it against the left wall, knocking the entire thing over.
(confessional)
Jo: This challenge was really good for getting my aggression out. Not that it matters. I've been watching everyone all day, and none of them are acting nervous or giving any sign that they might have taken my PDA. I'm starting to think I need to take direct action.
Static
Jo has lifted up the bed and is about to throw it when Chris called time. Reluctantly. Jo put the bed down. Chris joined everyone on set with a stopwatch in hand. "Topher you now have an additional ten seconds. Go!"
Topher could do nothing but sit there looking around the room for something else to break. The back wall fell over of its own accord. "I see your predicament. Thanks to Jo and Gwen there's nothing left to destroy. Both of you girls did a great job, but there can be only one winner and that winner is…Gwen!"
"Yes!" The Goth cheered.
"What?! Why her?" Jo protested.
"You both did about the same amount of damage, but Gwen's the one who knocked a wall over. Which means Gwen wins invincibility!" Chris declared. "Now you gotta decide who gets booted from the band.
/
Noah is in the security room messing around with Jo's PDA. With a smirk he remarks. "Finally. Now what are you hiding.." Noah pressed a few buttons and began to look at something. His eyes widen in shock before narrowing.
/
The moon is high in the sky as the focus shifted down to a gazebo with two bridges. Alejandro, Topher, Gwen and Sammy are all there. "Did you get a note about meeting here too?" Gwen asked.
"Yes, so I assume you were not the one to send them?" Alejandro asked. Gwen shook her head.
"Good everyone's here." A droll voice remarked as Noah joined the four.
"What's this about Noah?" Sammy asked.
Noah pulled out Jo's PDA. "You're the one who took it!" Topher gasped.
"Dude, do you have a death wish?" Gwen asked.
"Look I know it was dangerous but I thought Jo was hiding something. And I was right!" Noah said.
"What's everyone gathered around for?" Jo asked, as she arrived. Her eyes landed on Noah holding her PDA. "I knew someone took it! Scrawny, you little thief!" She moved to take her PDA back, but Noah tossed it to Alejandro. "Read the E-mails!"
Jo turned to go after Alejandro, but the Spaniard had already begun reading. His eyes narrowed. "There's e-mails from Chris on here. You didn't win a lawsuit at all! You're a mole!" Everyone gasped.
Jo huffed. "For all you know Scrawny put those in there to frame me! He's had my PDA all day, who knows what he did to it."
"That's true." Topher smirked.
"Whatever. The votes will decide who's telling the truth." Noah noted.
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. "Now for Total Drama. Six left one must go, and it won't be Gwen." An over the shoulder view showed Jo voting for Noah, and Noah voting for Jo.
The focus shifted back to a normal view to show Topher making his vote, then Alejandro Sammy and Gwen all making theirs. On stage Chef, his his sparkly hot pink dress, approached Chris with five more gilded Chris awards. "Alright, gilded Chris awards go to, Gwen" The goth caught hers. "And Sammy." The twin caught hers. "Topher, and Alejandro." Both guys easily caught their reward.
Noah and Jo are shown glaring at each other. "Only one left," Chris said as the focus shifted to show the single remaining gilded Chris clutched in Chef's gloved hand. "And the gilded Chris goes to…" The focus shifted to Noah and Jo staring each other down. "...
…
…
…
…
… Noah." With a smug look on his face Noah caught his award.
"What?! You took the word of someone who would steal over mine?!" Jo complained.
"Well, those e-mails were pretty incriminating." Sammy whispered.
"And the way I figure it, we can't risk keeping you if it is true. Even if it isn't so what? We can vote Noah out next time." Gwen said.
"Besides, after all the unfair boons you've been getting I'm inclined to get rid of you anyway." Alejandro smirked.
"This isn't over, you hear me?!" Jo snapped. "I'm not done-"
"Chef, please escort Jo to the lame-o-sine." Chris smirked.
The hulking man picked Jo up over his shoulder. She began to beat on his back. "Let go of me! I've gotta kill Scrawny!" The jockette complained as the cook took her down the walk of shame.
"I don't get paid enough for this." Chef said as he tossed her into the Lame-o-sine.. It drove off.
"And on that note, TDA says goodbye to its mole. It was fun while it lasted. At least she caused a lot of Drama while she was here and the reveal of her true purpose was dramatic as heck! I can't wait to see the ratings!" Chris chuckled. "But tune in next time for another hot rocking episode of Total Drama Action!"
(Bonus Clip)
Jo is sitting in the Lame-o-sine with her arms crossed. "Stupid Scrawny. I guess I should have kept a better eye on my PDA. Whatever, eventually Scrawny will get voted out too, and then I can take revenge on him. And you know, It was a good move on Scrawny's part. I can admit that." She sighed. "So I guess I go on the aftermath now?"
A/N: And so Jo leaves. I didn't want the mole to end up being the main villain and personally I think Jo was around a lot longer and did a lot more than Owen managed. Besides the irony of Jo leaving the episode Owen came back is just too good. Extra irony in that Noah eliminating her kinda mirrors what Camron did in canon. Moreover, not to spoil too much but Jo has a major role to play in the next season. Let's just say one of the characters that were randomized for Season three Guaranteed that. But I've said too much already.
I enjoyed writing this episode. It's one of my favorites in canon. Alejandro and Noah both being good at guitar hero is something I totally see. Alejandro because its Alejandro, and Noah because he's a gamer. Noah's always struck me as the kind of person who is apathetic about most things, but the things he cares about he's super passionate. I see Noah as a very competitive gamer.
The obstacle course was really fun to write, as was the hotel room being destroyed. Since I didn't want the winner of that challenge to be too obvious I switched from Gwen to Jo rather than doing all of Gwen's destruction and then all of Jo's.
If you're wondering how I'm gonna execute the next episode without a mole, you'll see. I have a plan.
