A voice pops up, very different from that of Chris McClain: "Last time on Total Drama: Action! Our final eight finally hit the big leagues when they got to star in a musical of their very own!" Chef explains. "Despite Chris's attempts to KILL the contestants with a dragon, that was actually a raptor with a flamethrower, the contestants survived! Wayne and Damien were taken out by the dragon, as well as Axel in the musical chairs challenge: who was distracted by the sudden revelation that Nichelle voted for Damien. Bowie's balloon got taken out when Julia tackled him, and MK didn't have much luck crossing the drawbridge once Caleb pushed her over the edge. With a suggestion by Caleb, Nichelle was able to take Julia out in the challenge in a subtle way so she wouldn't come under fire. Caleb was originally planning to let Nichelle take the immunity, but his plans changed once Julia got him enraged. In the end, Caleb was able to win the challenge, at the cost of his reputation." Chef explains as clips of Caleb's persona reveal play on screen.

"Who will be betrayed next? Who will shove everyone out of the way for my delicious meals?! Find out on TOTAL. DRAMA: ACTION!"

The theme song plays and ends.

The camera shows Chris in the control room. His messed-up hair shakes in the draft as he shivers.

He suddenly comes toward the camera, "Guys! You've got to help me! Chef locked me in here because he said I 'put the contestants in too much danger.' PFFT, who cares? It's all about the ratings! No contestants have died on the show… yet. So please, get. Me. OUT!"

Chef bangs on the door and his voice can be heard outside, "Chris! You can come out once you promise to axe your challenge idea."

"What's so wrong about the jousting over lava on a tightrope challenge? It's completely safe!"

"Did you have to add the bears too?"

"YES!"

Chef can be heard grumbling and walking away.

"No… don't leave me here! NOOOOO!"

The camera swaps to the girls trailer in the morning. Axel is doing push-ups as Nichelle looks out the window. MK is lying down in her bunk above the covers.

Nichelle giggles to herself as she looks out the window, "Oh my GASH, he is SO cute!"

Axel walks over, "Uh, who are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about Wayne, look!" Nichelle points to him as he picks his nose and wipes it on Damien's hoodie when he isn't looking.

Axel makes a disgusted face as her and Nichelle look on. MK can be seen further back, also looking through the window as she pipes up: "Gross… looks like Julia was right all along, huh?"

Axel turns around and raises an eyebrow.

MK looks a bit awkward, "Uuuuh, I'm just gonna go over there now!" She manages to squeeze out as she walks to the trailer bathroom.

Nichelle grabs Axel's shoulder and speaks with her face-to-face, "Axel! You have got to get me a date with that fine specimen!"

"What's so special about him?" Axel asks forcefully with genuine curiosity.

Nichelle gasps, "Are you cereal right now? He is so dreamy looking and a total gentleman! He helped me up yesterday when I almost fell on my face." She says, oddly gloating, "You don't think he's cute?"

"Naw, not really. I think relationships would just get in the way of the game anyway."

"Hmm, I guess you're right… So, do you think any guys in the cast are hot?"

"Not really." She says casually as she shrugs.

"Really? Not even Caleb?"

"Nope."

Nichelle thinks for a bit as she hums, "Girls in the cast?"

"Nope, not them either."

Nichelle looks a bit confused, like she doesn't know what to say: "So… you don't like anyone?"

"I guess not." She says before walking away from the window, continuing her morning workout routine, "It's just never something I really understood about people."

"Yeah, that makes sense." Nichelle replies with an honest smile.

Axel gets up from her workout and stands in front of Nichelle, "It's not that weird right?"

"Of course not! It gives you an advantage in the game since you can think critically about things... Instead of with your heart!" She swoons dramatically as she strikes a pose.

Axel chuckles a bit, "Thanks. You're not so bad."

Nichelle puts her hands on her hips and smiles, "You're not so bad either."

The camera pans to MK, who is watching this scene unfold from the bathroom with a comical shocked expression on her face.

MK in the confessional: "What the heck is Nichelle doing with MY friend!- Uh, I mean, ally..." She gets out before pausing for a bit, "I could probably find a way to erase this confessional."

The camera swaps to Wayne and Damien, who are hanging outside their trailer.

"Bees do NOT make syrup!" Damien argues with him light-heartedly.

"Oh Damien, always trying to play pranks on me!"

"Uh… no, I'm serious." Damien asks with an eyebrow raised.

Wayne asks back with a smug expression, "Then what's that syrupy stuff they leave behind?"

Before Damien can respond, he and Wayne are dragged by shadowy arms into their trailer.

"OOF!" Damien grunts before looking up, "Caleb?"

"That's right, it's me!" He gloats as he strikes a pose.

Wayne nods his head with his eyes closed, "You just interrupted a very important conversation."

"I heard it. Bees make honey by the way." Caleb replies monotonously, "But more importantly, we have got to form an alliance, guys!"

"Why would we do that?" Damien asks, a bit offended at his audacity.

"Because the girls are probably in there doing some maaajor bonding! We've got to make sure they don't get the upper hand."

Wayne brushes his offer off, "But, Axel and MK are like a crazed hockey fan and a ref!"

Caleb gives him a confused stare.

"Oh, sorry," He responds with embarrassment as he rubs his neck, "MK and Axel just don't seem to like each other very much."

Caleb responds quickly, "But what about Nichelle? She's very social, and she could probably have those two make-up in a matter of seconds."

"Not sure about that one," Wayne replies, "Nichelle isn't really that… uh, likable?"

Wayne in the confessional: "I hope she didn't hear that… I'm kind of scared of her ever since I found out she wasn't actually an action star… I can never trust movies again!"

Caleb shrugs, "It's just a suggestion, and a good one at that: the others are probably already planning on voting one of you two out since you're so close."

Damien looks a bit nervous before collecting himself, "I guess that's true… but why would we trust someone who was lying about their entire personality? It's just creepy!"

"I did what I had to so I could stay in the game!" Caleb replies with an airy and desperate tone, "It's not like I'm evil or something."

Wayne replies with suspicion, "But Bowie said you cut the ropes when he and Raji were on them."

"I knew there was a net down there." He retorts with confidence, "I just needed to make sure my team won. That's all!"

Caleb in the confessional: "I'm starting to think this whole 'dumb hot guy' persona was a mistake. I'm not a bad guy, I just needed to not get booted right away again! And I'll do anything to get the million at this point."

Damien and Wayne glance at each other from the side of their eyes before Damien replies, "Yeah… We'll think about it."

Caleb in the confessional: He shrugs and laughs a little, "Hey, I'll take what I can get!"

The camera swaps to the craft services tent, where everyone except Nichelle is present. Axel, Wayne and Damien are sitting at the left table while MK sits alone on the right.

Caleb takes a bowl of mush from the counter and walks off, "Looks like Chef didn't spend much time on breakfast today. Where is he?"

"Dunno." Wayne replies innocently as Damien and Axel stay awkwardly silent.

Caleb is taken aback, "I'm just gonna sit over there…"

He sits down at the same table as MK, still trying to keep his distance.

"Welcome to the losers club!"

Caleb looks fed up before he slams his head down on the table.

Nichelle walks in, "Good morning everyoooone!"

Nobody responds, which makes the sound of eating and utensils more noticeable.

Nichelle in the confessional: "When did everyone get so drab? I knew I had to do something!"

The movie star sits next to Axel, "Hey bestie! Guess who's gonna win today's challenge? ME!" She exclaims in a light-hearted way.

Wayne replies with a competitive spirit, "Oh yeah, you think you're gonna win?"

"You bet I am! Just watch this!" She then gets up and begins whipping out her favorite action moves. "Ah yeah!"

Damien responds with a slight smirk, "Careful now."

"WoOah!" She says wobbly before falling off the bench.

All four of the contestants laugh together before the camera pans to an angry MK.

MK in the confessional: She plays Nichelle's last confessional, "… I'm gonna have to get miss happiness and rainbows out of here!"

MK sits closer to Caleb, "Ugh… I don't want to do this. But we should form an alliance or something."

"Why would we do that?"

"We have a lot in common. I know hot people don't wear glasses, but you should be able to see we're both being outcast."

He shrugs before spitting venom, "I can win immunity now that I'm not holding back, and the second I convince the others I'm not a threat, we can all boot you off!"

MK snaps back, "Right, because the tall muscular supermodel with a passion to win and a master evil plan isn't a threat."

"I'm not evi-" He pauses and sighs, "I may have been a bit ruthless in some of my tactics, but it doesn't compare to how you've treated Axel."

"It's just a game! It's nothing personal…"

"I don't think she feels that way." He replies with surprising earnestness.

MK looks at the floor with an expression of guilt.

Chef walks into the mess hall and begins speaking joyfully, "Morning campers! I was running a little late because of some business, but I'm here now!"

Axel complains, "Good. Can we get some better food now?"

"No time for that! Chris told me I have to bring you to today's, uuh, challenge site since he's busy. So let's go!"

The contestants eye each other in concern.

The camera swaps to Chef and the contestants standing in the cleared out area of the forest.

"Good, you guys showed up!" Chef cheers as an intern wheels a TV in.

"Where is Chris?" Damien asks nervously, "Chris always has to be here for a challenge!"

"Pipe down Damien, it'll be fine. Chris is just… uh, gonna be out for today! He's sick!"

MK groans, "Ugh, just replace him with a clone or something. Don't hold out, I know you got some!"

Wayne lights up, "Guys, don't worry! If Chris isn't here then the challenge won't be so dangerous!"

Damien responds, Wayne's comment calming him: "Huh, yeah, that's true."

"Yes, exactly!" Chef cheers, "It's worth it to lock Chris away - uh…" He realizes what he just let out.

"Wait, wait, you did what now?" Nichelle interrogates as she points at him.

"Don't worry about that! Hehe… let's just introduce today's movie genre: the action movie!"

Nichelle begins vibrating.

"Um, what?" MK asks with genuine concern as she backs away.

"Oh no, it's a code blue!" Axel yells as she dives into a bush, "Everyone get down!"

Nichelle let's out an unholy and primordial scream, "YAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA-"

The camera zooms out to show the entire movie set. Birds are flying away as the sound of Nichelle can still be heard.

"YAAAAAaaaas! Awesome!" She finishes at a normal volume before smiling.

The camera pans to show all of the contestants meters away, peaking out of the bushes.

Chef in the confessional: "Phew, I think the demon that just broke out of Nichelle distracted everyone from the whole Chris thing!"

The contestants get out of the bush and walk towards Nichelle, where MK, Damien, and Wayne look quite concerned.

"Uh, you done?" Axel asks with a mix of irritation and concern.

Nichelle turns and looks puzzled, "Uh, yeah… what's wrong with you guys? I am gonna ROCK this challenge, and you'll all get a front row seat!"

"Why are we supposed to be happy about your victory?" Caleb questions.

"Are you kidding me? I am Nichelle Ladonna… and you are gonna get to see me do stunts IN PERSON! It's just a vibe. If you get it, you get it."

MK turns to look at the bush they previously hid behind, "Uh, Chef, it's safe to come out now!"

Chef peers above the bush to check the coast and then walks over like nothing happened.

He starts fiddling with the TV, "The wifi has been acting dodgy recently, so you guys can chat or whatever. Why is there no service in a forest in the middle of an abandoned film set?"

Caleb walks over to Axel, "Listen, the way MK treated you was unfair. But you seem upset recently so-" He tries to console her by putting his hand on her shoulder.

Axel grabs his wrist with an iron grip.

"OUCH! Okay, I get it…"

She let's go and looks weighed down, "I'm sorry…" She apologizes as she tries to avoid eye contact, "But from now on, I'm going alone. I can only trust myself."

Right after she says that, the camera swaps to an unimpressed Axel getting handcuffed to MK.

"There!" Chef exclaims as he fastens the last lock, "For this challenge, it will build your trust if you can get through it while attached to one of your fellow competitors! First pair to win the challenge will have both contestants win immunity!"

Damien eyes the partner he's attached to, which happens to be Caleb.

"Looks like I have to carry dead weight for immunity." Caleb snarks before awkwardly pausing in front of a pissed-off looking Damien, "Kidding!"

Damien groans, "Ugh... this will be a long challenge."

Wayne comes running over, dragging his partner, Nichelle, through the dirt: "OW- I- WATCH- THE FACE!"

"Since we're not partners in the challenge, I'll make sure to light the lamp on you!" Wayne teases.

"Um... what?"

Wayne leans into Damien, which causes Nichelle to lose her balance and fall, "OOF - do not disrespect Nichelle Ladonna like this!"

He ignores her and whispers to Damien, "Just slow Caleb down so he can lose. He's way too strong for us to deal with."

Damien leans back with eyes widened, "Haha, Wayne, you're so silly with your hockey terminology that nobody understands!" He then winks to signal his understanding.

Damien in the confessional: "Of course! Wayne is a genius! I wasn't looking forward to being attached to the guy who's been annoying me all season and EATING MY TOOTHPASTE!" He yells with anger before breathing deeply and continuing joyfully, "But now I can throw the challenge and see how he reacts! We'll decide who to vote for then."

Nichelle commands from the floor, "You will not treat a princess of cinema like this!"

Wayne picks her up in a comfortable position and smiles at her, "Of course not, my little cow." He then let's out a goofy giggle.

He walks off as Nichelle squeezes out, "Haha, yeah... this is fine!"

Nichelle in the confessional: "Isn't he the dreamiest?! They say your prince always drags you through the mud before he gives you the castle." She looks shocked at what she just said, "Dang, I sounded like Emma there. If you're watching this gurlie, stay AWAY from that psycho!" She yells as she grabs the camera aggressively.

Chef looks proud of himself, "But before we begin today's trust-building exercise, I have prepared some videos from home for you guys!"

"Why are we wasting time with this stuff?" Axel asks with irritation: "I should be going it alone."

Chef connects the wires to the TV, "Pipe down Axel! We're all going to have a pain-free day where everyone gets along!"

Axel crosses her arms as MK tries to keep her distance.

"Now, today's first video message is for Nichelle!" He exclaims as he presses a button.

"Hey girl!" A voice pipes up from the screen.

Nichelle gasps, "is that... Michelle?!"

Michelle is shown on the screen as a middle eastern girl about the same age as Nichelle: "Yes queen! It's me! I was tasked to film a one minute video for you while you're still in the competition and GURL you wouldn't believe what people are saying about you!"

Nichelle claps and jumps up and down, "Yay!" She then grabs Wayne by his jersey and begins shaking him excitedly, "I can't wait to see what she says!"

Wayne looks dizzy as Michelle continues, "Your popularity has skyrocketed ever since episodes started being released! I heard a lot of big execs are talking about casting you for upcoming blockbusters!"

Nichelle's eyes light up with stars as Michelle continues, "And not only that: but your ex-boyfriend won't stop calling me asking when you're coming back! He wants you big time."

Nichelle eye-rolls, "Pfft, I don't need that loser! Now that I'm super famous again I can get any man I want. WOOOHOOOO!" She cheers as she celebrates big-mac sized, causing her to smack Wayne in the face.

"Ouch!... Watch where you're going!" He shouts angrily.

Nichelle ignores him as she just poses.

Michelle finishes, "I don't have much recording time left but GURL, I got a lot of hot gossip when you get home so make sure you come home in style. Mwah, love ya!"

The TV turns off as Nichelle cheers, "It feels so good to see Michelle, ugh, I've missed her so much."

MK snarks, "Nichelle and Michelle, huh? Do you guys ever get your names mixed up?"

"Only if somebody has a really thick accent or is having an allergic reaction," She responds gleefully as she continues to pose, "But most of the time we can tell!"

Damien responds monotonously, "I'm not even gonna ask why she knows the allergic reaction part."

Right after Damien finishes, one of his best friends from school appears on screen.

"Hey Damien! I'm so proud to see you're doing so well on Total Drama after me and Cindy dared you to go on the show." He comments in a throaty voice before laughing, "Sorry about that!"

"Aw, it's fine-" He is interrupted by his friend... since it's a recording.

"I'm also shocked to see that you're friends with a sports-bro on the show. I thought you'd never get over your grudge against Tommy Sherman."

"Can we turn this off, Chef?" Damien asks with irritation as his eye twitches.

"Remember when he sabotaged your chemistry experiment and it almost caused you to get expelled from school! HAHA, aw, that was a good time."

"It was not a good time!" He snaps back as Caleb smirks beside him.

"But I'm sure you don't hold a grudge or have any trauma from that or anything, so go ahead and win this competition for us buddy! The biology professor is rooting for you too! Peace."

Damien looks irritated before laughing it off awkwardly, "Haha, he's crazy! Isn't he crazy?"

Damien in the confessional: "There's a whoooole laundry list of things Tommy Sherman did to me! And ALL just because his highness of stupidity was mad that I have brains and swag." He says confidently as he leans back.

Wayne puts his hand on Damien's shoulder, "It's alright, I'm sure it's all in the past now."

Damien replies, slightly uneasy: "Yeah, it's in the past."

MK looks over at the two with a devilish smirk.

MK in the confessional: She plays Damien's last confessional and chuckles, "Everybody has a weakness."

Raj appears on screen, "Hey Wayner! You wouldn't believe where I am right now!"

"RAJJIIII!" He yells as he goes to embrace the giant TV screen, dragging Nichelle along with him.

"UGH!" Nichelle yells as she trips along the way, "He does know it's just a recording, right?!"

Wayne backs away and wipes a tear from his eye as Raj continues, "I'm kickin' it with Bowie at the Playa De Losers resort! Can you believe it? Last time we just got taken to the hospital, but now I get to live in luxury!" He explains as he takes a drink from a waiter's platter and sips it, "The staff here told us that the next time a contestant arrives, us losers are gonna get to play a big part in the next round of the game!"

"Goal!" Wayne shouts victoriously as he stands directly in front of the TV.

"Hey, out of the way!" Nichelle and Caleb shout simultaneously before Nichelle continues, "I wanna see the resort!"

"I'll make sure to do whatever I can to get you to win this thing, Wayner. HOOT HOOOOT!"

Wayne hoots back as MK groans, "Seriously, we have to rely on those moolo butt-knuckles?"

Julia leans into Raj's frame and shouts, "None of you better be using the word butt-knuckle! That is MY WORD!"

Raj pushes her out of the frame as MK jumps, "Yuck- go figure, she has evil psychic future-seeing witch powers."

"Well Wayner, I've got to sign off now. Win the gold for us!" Raj ends as the TV shuts off.

"Is it true that they're gonna get to vote one of us off?" Caleb asks with concern.

Caleb in the confessional: "Julia, let me tell you, you have an amazing sense of fashion AND game sense! A very strong competitor. And Bowie, you were very robbed and I think I should get some credit for refraining from getting revenge on you for last season! No hard feelings."

Chef responds with a grumble, "I have no idea what Chris has planned, he won't tell me anything."

Just then, Chris appears on the screen: "Haha, HAH! I finally got this working! Look, you guys have got to save-" he is interrupted by Chef as he disconnects the TV cables.

"AHEM! That was just a scene from Chris's upcoming movie, I'm locked somewhere and you have to save me. There must be a glitch or something!"

The contestants eye each other in distrust of Chef.

"Any more messages from home?" MK mocks.

"Ah, yeah, there was one more for Axel, but it seems we're running out of time so..."

Axel's eyes go wide as she runs to push Chef out of the way, "Out of my way! There's always time, just edit out some of MK and Caleb's lines!"

"Um, excuse me?" Caleb responds with offense as Axel plugs the cables back in.

Axel's video message from home starts playing, of which the woman greeting her looks like a grown-up version of MK, beanie and all.

"Oh hello my little girl! I'm so proud of how you're doing on Total Drama."

Axel begins to tear up as Wayne pipes up in the background, "Wow, she looks a lot like MK."

"You had a very rough upbringing, what with the 'being raised by wolves' thing. And that makes me even more shocked to see your survival skills be such a gift for you in the competition."

Axel cries happily as she hugs the screen, "I LOVE YOU MEE-MAW!"

"Aaaaw..." The rest of the contestants swoon besides MK, who wipes a tear from her eye and puts on a brave face as her handcuffed arm stays close to Axel.

Axel's guardian finishes, "I would say good luck, but I know my little girl doesn't even need it. So stay strong and continue fighting! I'll see you when you get back with your well-deserved prize. Goodbye."

Chef blows his nose as tears stream down his face, "I- I'm sorry for even suggesting we skip yours, Axel!"

Axel in the confessional: "My mee-maw saved me from a pack of angry gazelles when I was young with nothing but a shovel and took me in ever since that day... Don't ask why the gazelles were so angry with me."

The camera swaps to Freckles as she consoles Chef, who continues sobbing, "I just... need a few minutes!"

Freckles sighs and begins explaining to the contestants, "Today's action movie challenge will test both your physical prowess and agility, to prove which of you is the best action star."

"Is that even a question? It's obviously Nichelle Lad-"

"I don't care, just let me finish!"

Nichelle sulks as Freckles continues, "Thank you! Now for the first part of the challenge, each pair must work in tandem to collect 10 points to receive a keg from the merchant over there."

She points toward Lanky, who is manning the merchant station as he waves.

Damien begins asking, "How do we-"

"hOw dO wE gEt pOiNtS you're probably about to ask!" Freckles replies swiftly as Damien looks upset, "To earn points, you must gather enough goods to trade with the merchant. These goods include a cow, worth 5 points. a tree coconut, worth 2 points. A lock of your hair, worth 1 point. A 5-minute penalty, worth 8 points. And of course, a diamond from the mine worth ALL 10 points!"

The contestants stare in awe at the mine entrance off to the side that shines from the inside-out.

However, the raptor with a flamethrower returns and jumps into the entrance of the mine, growling at the contestants as it backward-walks into the mine.

"But of course, you won't be able to get a diamond that easily! Unless you wanna become a nicely smoked raptor dinner."

Chef finally gathers himself, "The intern is right! And once you receive your keg, you must roll it along with you as you travel up the rocky prop mountain path. Completely safe! Just watch your step. If everybody is ready, then we can start... GO!"

The contestants charge toward Chef, causing him to get trampled: "I should... have seen that coming."

The camera shows Nichelle and Wayne arguing in front of the merchant stand.

Wayne plucks out one of his hairs, "Ow... Nichelle, pluck a strand of your hair out!"

"Ew, are you crazy?"

"If we get two points then we can take the 5 minute penalty and get by super quickly with all ten points."

"Do you know how long it took for this blonde masterpiece to be braided? My hair is not going anywhere."

Wayne weighs himself down and sighs, "Huh... let's go get some coconuts."

Wayne and Nichelle turn to see Damien getting dragged by Caleb, "AAAH- STOP - CALEB - SLOW DOWN!"

Caleb smirks and continues booking it, "Not a chance little man! Let's go get some cows!"

Nichelle smiles at Wayne, "Hey, how about we try getting some cows? We only need two to get past this part."

The camera pans to Axel pushing against a sitting cow with all her might as MK watches with an unsure expression.

Nichelle flinches, "Coconuts it is!"

Wayne calls out to Damien in a hinting and exaggerated tone, "At least give us a head-start, Damien!"

Damien in the confessional: "What am I supposed to do about Caleb? It's impossible to hold him back, he's like a jet engine wrapped in layers of bacon and prime rib!"

The camera swaps to Nichelle and Wayne standing in front of a tall prop palm-tree.

"If we just shake the tree, the coconuts will come to us." Wayne explains before Nichelle grips the tree tightly and begins climbing.

"Just... a little bit more, I'm almost there!" Nichelle exclaims to Wayne as she pants, "Am I almost there?"

"You've barely moved an inch?" Wayne replies confusedly as she falls to the ground.

"Well give me a boost then." She responds flirtatiously as she poses.

"Uh... no." He replies awkwardly.

Wayne in the confessional: "I have no idea what's going on with Nichelle, she keeps making these... weird faces at me."

Nichelle in the confessional: Nichelle begins speaking as she has her back to the camera, "My 200 IQ flirtation skills are working to the maximum right now. Let me show you my sexy face!" She then turns around to reveal the most horrifying face you've seen in your life.

"Axel, give it up!" MK cries, "That cows not gonna budge, let's just work on something else!"

Axel stops pushing and turns to MK, "And what makes you think you have the right to tell me what to do? Just stand there and be useless like always."

"Um, excuse me?" MK responds, offended: "If it weren't for ME, you'd have been booted off a long time ago."

Axel gets closer and hovers over MK intimidatingly, "Funny. I seem to remember almost everybody on the team not liking you, and YOU relying on ME! I should have never wasted my idol on you..." She responds as she crosses her arms and turns away.

"You know what?!" MK responds before pausing.

"What?"

MK sulks for a bit and looks down, "I'm sorry."

Axel's eyebrow raises, "... Sorry?"

"Yes. I've been treating you like garbage and not listening to any of your ideas." MK chokes out reluctantly, "And I... voted for Damien during the first merge vote."

Axel sighs before turning around, "Yeah, obviously." She says as she rolls her eyes, "Now, let's win this challenge."

She finishes with a smile, as MK reciprocates.

MK in the confessional: "Don't think this means that I've gone soft! I just needed to say sorry so she would cooperate in the challenge. That's all."

Caleb stampedes over to the merchant stand carrying two cows, as Damien is dragged along for the ride.

"Here's your stupid cows, now give me THAT KEG!" Caleb screams at the merchant.

The merchant nervously taps some buttons on the cash register, "I'm sorry sir but our ice cream machine is bro-"

Caleb drops the cows and dives into the stand.

"AH! OH MY!" The merchant yells as Caleb comes out with a keg, Damien basically passed out at this point.

Caleb turns around and sticks his tongue out at the rest of the competitors, "Make sure the coconuts don't hit you on the way out! HAHA!"

"That's not even a good zinger!" Damien exclaims as Caleb runs off with him.

Wayne looks at Nichelle as she once again falls down the tree, "Take thirty-seven!"

"STOP!" Wayne screams, causing Nichelle to give her attention to him: "I thought you were a real action star now? Why can't you climb up a simple tree?"

"I'm super agile now but I still have no upper body strength to speak of." She replies nonchalantly.

Wayne groans in frustration, "Okay, since this obviously isn't working, why don't we just go with my plan and shake the-"

Nichelle slowly reaches her hand toward the trunk.

"No! Don't touch that!"

Nichelle keeps reaching her grasp out to the tree, of which every time she gets closer Wayne yells NO! causing her to go back to her starting point.

"If you lay ONE more finger on that tree I swear-"

Nichelle grabs onto the tree and begins climbing.

Wayne sighs, "Oh... we're doomed."

Axel and MK stand in front of the entrance to the mine, as the sound of the raptor can be heard inside.

The two stare at the entrance in fear for a second.

"Welp, time to die." MK says as she tries to take a step in.

The raptor comes out, guns a' blazing, and swipes them away with one smack.

"UGH!" MK yells as she and Axel face-plant into the dirt, "Maybe we need a new plan..."

Axel picks up some mud from the ground and smears it under her eyes as she stands to her feet.

"Um... what is this all about?"

Axel pulls MK to her feet, "This time... it's personal."

She then pauses as MK looks at her in confusion, "AAAAAAAAAAH!"

She lets out a warrior scream as she dives into the cave as brawling sounds and the raptor crying can be heard.

The camera swaps to Wayne dealing with the action starlet.

"Just... one more try!" Nichelle pants as she tries again.

"Listen, I appreciate your enthusiasm, but we really need to win so-"

"I've got this in the bag!"

Wayne in the confessional: "This is exactly what I've been talking about when it comes to Nichelle! Sure she's usually nice, but she thinks way too highly of herself and won't admit when she's wrong."

Wayne growls, "ERGH- That's IT!" He yells as he begins shaking the tree, causing Nichelle to fall down once again as several coconuts fall from the tree.

"Hey! I totally had it that time-" Her sentence is cut short as a coconut falls on her head.

"Works for me!" Wayne cheers as he picks an unconscious Nichelle up and carries her to the merchant table along with the coconuts, "Good luck Axel!" He yells cheerfully as he books it.

"I don't need luck!" Axel responds to absolutely nobody as she victoriously shows her diamond to the camera.

MK crawls out of the mine on her stomach, "Wait... please."

"C'mon brain! Let's get going!" She shouts as she slings MK onto her back, "And I'm dealing with YOU later!"

The raptor coughs up smoke as it peaks out of the mine, looking terrified.

The camera swaps to Chef explaining to Damien and Caleb. The background shows a steep cliff that seems to have three lifts attached to it.

"Good, you guys got here and the keg is safe! The next challenge is trivia about the eliminated contestants. Get three answers correct in a row, and your team's lift will rise all the way to the top of the mountain, allowing you to get to the final part of the challenge!"

"This doesn't seem safe." Caleb mocks sarcastically to Chef, "How about you just let us skip this part?"

"No way! The challenge will end too abruptly then..." He replies nervously, "This one has been tested for safety several times!"

Just as he finishes, one of the railings on their lift falls off.

"See!"

"Let's just get this done quickly." Caleb comments as he drags Damien to the lift.

"Hey, there's no need to rush Caleb! We can just wait for the others and-"

"No way!" Caleb responds vigorously as he peers at the electronic station on their lift, "What's this for?"

"That's how you receive and answer your questions!" Chef replies, "Think of it like a game-show. A very safe game-show."

The device on their lift begins speaking aloud with an AI voice, "Welcome Caleb and Daw-Me-En."

Damien whines, "What?! Damien is six letters, how did it screw it up that badly?!"

"Question 1: What was Ripper's main goal in life?"

Caleb looks confused as Damien pipes up proudly, "Oh yeah! His goal was to tie or beat the world record for longest fart from a minor!"

"Correct!" The AI responds as the lift rises up a bit.

Caleb scrunches up his face, "That is disgusting... glad he hasn't been on my team."

Both of them turn at the sound of Wayne and Nichelle arriving.

"Oh yeah, second place!" Nichelle gloats.

"Why are you proud of that?"

Nichelle just shrugs in response to Wayne.

Caleb and Damien's AI begins again, "Question 2: Which contestant quit this season?"

"Easy, it was Millie!" Damien exclaims as their elevator moves up one more level.

Caleb sounds ecstatic, "Yes! Only one more point and we can move on."

Wayne calls to Damien, "Wow, you guys are getting reeeaally ahead!"

"Oh crap, I forgot." Damien whispers to himself as Nichelle and Wayne get onto their lift.

"Question 3: Which eliminated contestant has the most followers?"

Caleb begins speaking, "it's Ju-"

Damien speaks louder than him, "It's Nichelle!"

"Incorrect answer. The lift will now descend." The AI voice explains as it begins slowly descending to the ground.

Caleb growls, "Are you serious?!"

"Oh, sorry, I forgot Nichelle was still in the game, hehe." He replies as he sweats nervously.

"Hey! Speak for yourself, the viewers at home know what's up!" Nichelle asserts before answering her lift, "Anyways... the answer is jalapeno jelly!"

"Correct!" Their AI responds as they move to level two.

MK and Axel come charging in.

"What did we miss?" MK asks enthusiastically before Axel flings her into the third lift.

"No time for that!" Axel exclaims as she taps furiously on the AI's screen.

"You - Answer - 3 correct - EEER..."

Axel scoffs, "Ugh... Chef, why is the tutorial so long?"

"It's developed by GameManiac so they made the tutorial 20 minutes long."

"Question 1: Where did Bowie stash the fake idol?"

MK answers, "Bounce house in the circus zone."

"How did you know that?" Axel asks.

"I do a lot of sneaking around, it's kinda my thing."

The camera pans to Caleb celebrating as he and Damien reach the second to last level again.

"Yes! Only one more! But please, let me answer this one, Damien."

Damien looks nervous and shields himself with his hands, "Of course! No problem."

"Question 3: What was Emma's pet-name for Chase?"

Caleb groans, "Ugh, who would know something like that?"

Damien stays silent out of fear.

"Got any ideas Damien?"

"Uh... how about, honey?"

"Wrong answer! The lift is now descending."

"UUUUGH!" Caleb growls as he then glares at Chef, "Why is this thing so slow?!"

Chef replies defensively, "It's so nobody loses balance and falls off! We've got to keep the challenge safe."

Caleb in the confessional: "It's like Chef is TRYING to get me to lose! Giving me the hard questions, sticking me with Damien... if I don't win immunity, I might be toast!"

Axel cheers, "We're almost to the top, just one more MK!"

"Yeah, sure, make me answer all the questions." She replies sarcastically before answering, "The answer is pumpernickel."

"Correct!"

"Nice job." Axel says to MK briefly with a flash of a smile, "Now let's go!"

Axel and MK reach the top of the cliff as MK calls to Chef, "What do we do now?"

"I haven't thought that far ahead yet! Just keep running along the path until you reach the top of the mountain."

MK groans as she and Axel run off into the distance.

"Forget this!" Caleb exclaims as he grabs Damien tightly and crouches down.

"What? What are you doing?!" Damien yells nervously before his question gets answered by Caleb making a power leap into the air and landing at the top of the cliff.

Damien's eyes go wide from silent terror as Caleb teases Chef, "Looks like you should have made the cliff higher!"

"Hey, that is not even remotely safe!" Chef calls out as he finds a way to get up there, "Kids, just do your best, I've got to get to the next part of the course!"

As Chef runs away panting, Wayne and Nichelle answer the last question in tandem: "Raj!"

Both cheer as Wayne turns to Nichelle, "Wooooah, how did you know that about my buddy Raj?"

"I was there for his elimination, remember? I never miss an opportunity to witness the drama. Now let's go!"

Nichelle and Wayne exit their lift onto the cliff and stop dead in their tracks at what they witness.

The camera scans the area to show several robotic bears fighting the contestants and Chef.

"What is going on?!" Nichelle calls out.

"I thought this challenge was supposed to be safe?!" Wayne cries as he jumps into Nichelle's arms, causing both of them to topple to the ground.

Chef stops running for a second to catch his breath, "It is! I don't know where these bears came from!"

The camera swaps to Chris in the control room.

"Well if he's not going to let me out I have to at least make the challenge interesting! Now while that keeps them busy, I gotta find where Chef hid the TV controls..." He says as he begins rummaging around in the drawers and smashing buttons on the keyboard.

Back at the mountain set, the ground begins to shake.

"An earthquake?!" Damien screams, "ON TOP OF A MOUNTAIN?!"

"Kids, hold on tight to this robot bear!" Chef commands as he holds onto one of the confused robotic bears.

"No, stay close to me!" Axel asserts, "I covered this in my survival training!"

"Seriously?" MK asks as she looks up from Axel's ankle, which she was clinging onto.

The earthquake stops as the contestants and Chef lose their balance and fall.

Caleb gets up and brushes the dust off, "Chef, you have 3 seconds to explain what's going on!"

"There's no need." A smug voice pipes up from a TV that just rolled in.

"Chris?!" Chef asks nervously as he sees the host on the screen.

"What is going on?!" Damien questions loudly as he grabs his head, "Why does this TV move on its own?"

"That's a billionaire's technology for ya!" Chris laughs, "But there's an issue: Chef LOCKED me in the control room! Not only that, but he replaced today's exciting challenge with a booooring one."

"I prefer this one." MK snarks back swiftly.

"Yeah, we're almost done with this challenge!" Axel complains, "And I'm about to win."

"I don't want to hear any complaints! Your final challenge now is to rescue me from the control room! First duo to do it wins immunity. Now GO!"

"Where exactly is this control room?" Caleb asks with contempt in his voice.

"Don't you guys know your way around the lot yet? Kids these days... never exercising." He complains before answering properly, "The control room is in that large building next to the craft services tent that says 'control room building' on it!"

"Oh, is that what that is?" Wayne responds as he rubs his head.

"I had no idea!" Nichelle joins in.

"Why are you guys still standing here? I'm STARVING!" He yells before he eats a muffin and takes a sip of his orange juice, "Good thing there's a mini-fridge in here."

A couple of the contestants groan as they turn around to head back down the mountain.

"And Chef, don't think I forgot about you." He scowls toward the cook, "This little stunt is gonna require a resettling of your pay-check!"

"You don't control my pay-check anymore, the network does!" He retorts forcefully before walking away.

"Wait, Chef, please don't leave me!..." He takes another sip of orange juice, "I'm really lonely..."

The camera swaps to all duo's in front of the camera control center.

"The door won't budge, it needs a code to unlock." Caleb explains as he peers at the dial.

"Well, what could it be?" Axel asks as she looks at MK, who shrugs.

"Try 1234." Nichelle suggests.

Wayne goes up happily and enters the code, "Nothing."

Caleb facepalms, "Ugh... just, we need an actual idea for this. If Chris set the code, then what would he choose?"

"Probably something to do with himself," MK mocks, "Like how his mansion address is 1345."

Caleb sighs before speaking, "Worth a try."

He enters the code but the door still won't budge.

"Well, this is boring..." Nichelle reacts as she stares at her nails, "Only one of us can win this thing, so I say Wayne and I go find an alternative route."

"I didn't agree to this pla-" Wayne replies before being dragged away by Nichelle,

"Have fun staying stuck outside while we wiiiiin!"

Axel chuckles softly, "Well, she's a goner. This place looks like a prison, no way there's any other way to enter."

"Less competition for me!" Caleb cheers before looking at Damien, "Oh... I mean, us!"

Damien just crosses her arms in response as MK begins entering another code, "1583, the first 4 numbers of the bar-code on his hair gel!"

"There's no way you actually knew that." Damien responds with suspicion.

The door makes a loud unlocking noise as MK tries her hardest to turn the handle: "EEEERGH. I don't think that code was right, I'll try another one."

Axel grabs the door handle and turns it so that the door unhinges, "Everyone in!"

"Oh... hehe."

The camera swaps to Nichelle and Wayne behind the structure.

Wayne pipes his ears up, "I think I just heard the door open! We should go back."

"No way, we just found the air duct! Let those four fight over who gets to save Chris while we sneak in from behind."

Nichelle in the confessional: "Wayne doesn't understand that I'm not just a pretty face. I'm also a genius strategist!"

Nichelle rapidly twists her head side to side like she's in a spy movie.

"What are you-" Wayne tries to ask before...

She jumps into the air duct, face first, getting stuck in the process.

"Um... a little help?" She asks nervously as her legs flail about like a frog.

The camera swaps to the contestants inside.

Caleb looks up at the leaking pipes and scoffs, "Sheesh, you'd think they'd keep this place in good condition."

"Yeah, especially if Chris has to walk through here." MK responds as she avoids puddles on the ground, "He probably wipes with solid gold."

A voice pipes up from the shadows, "Oh, Chris doesn't step foot in here."

"AAAH!" Axel yells as she gets her shovel out, "Everyone behind me! It could be an enemy."

A tall figure comes out from the shadows, "Hey guys, it's me!"

They stare at him with confused looks.

"The intern?"

"I've never seen you in my life." Caleb comments coldly.

"Me neither." MK follows.

The intern weighs down in defeat and sighs, "...Lanky."

All of the contestants brighten up and speak in a jumble, "Oh, yeah! - that makes sense - wow - why didn't you say so?!"

Lanky looks unimpressed and fed up as he explains, "This is the intern's sanction. Chris puts us in here to sleep or work on maintenance."

MK glares at Caleb and Damien from the side of her eyes and then speaks to Lanky, "So do you know how to get to the main control room? Chris is trapped in there and we gotta let him out for a dumb challenge."

"I know? Isn't it hilarious!" He responds as he holds himself up with his knees and laughs.

Caleb looks a bit irritated, "So you know how to get him out?"

He wipes a tear from his eye and composes himself, "Oh, no idea. I'm not even allowed to step out of my sanctioned zone."

Lanky in the confessional: "I have no idea how this show keeps getting interns when we're starved and not paid anything!" He exclaims with a smile.

MK's eyes wander to an electrical box hung on the wall.

"Hey, let's get closer to this, Axel! I'm sure I can tweak this a bit to make... something happen."

MK opens the box up and begins fiddling with the wires.

"No! You shouldn't do that!" Lanky yells as he puts his hands on his head in panic.

"Are we gonna save Chris or not?" Axel bites back.

MK looks pleased at Axel's defense of her and adds on, "Yeah, that million bucks isn't gonna be provided to me unless the demonic host is unleashed from his cage!"

Caleb rolls his eyes in the background as Damien looks worried, "Pfft, that thing is probably defective any-WAAAAAAAAAAAAY."

MK snapping one of the wires caused a trap door to open up beneath him and Damien.

Their groans can be heard from the entrance as Lanky and Axel look down the pitch-black hole with concern.

"Are you okay, Caleb?!" Axel shouts.

"Yeah, I'm fine!" Damien snaps back before Caleb also replies,

"I may have broken half my bones, but we're doing good."

Caleb in the confessional: "You see how Axel only called to see if I was okay? I might be winning back her favor!"

Axel in the confessional: "I would have called both of their names, but I forgot the other guys name."

MK can be seen smirking in the background as Axel continues, "Oh, yeah, you too... whatever your name is?"

"Seriously?!" Damien questions back before Caleb explains,

"It looks like there's a path down here. We can't get back up so I guess we'll travel this way and see if it leads to the control room."

"What?!" Damien shouts, "Are you crazy? Who knows what kind of rats and insects could be down here!"

"I'l escort the princess..." Caleb groans as his voice gets farther away, "Stay safe Axel!"

Axel turns to MK, who has snapped another wire.

"Look!" MK points to the door that just opened, "I knew one of these wires would open something."

MK in the confessional: "I knew exactly what each wire did. I just wanted to get Caleb and Damien out of our hair so we can be the ones to rescue Chris. Then Axel will have to forgive me!- I mean, she'll agree to vote with me."

The camera swaps to an empty air duct up in the ceiling of the building as Nichelle's voice can be heard,

"Just a little more, Wayne! I think we've almost reached a vent opening!"

Nichelle comes around the corner with a determined look on her face as she wiggles her way through swiftly. Wayne follows behind as quickly as he can as he attempts to avoid Nichelle's legs kicking him.

"Wait- Nichelle, just- stop kicking me!"

"Oh sorry," She replies nonchalantly before gasping, "Look! There's the vent!"

"Really?" Wayne questions excitedly as he shimmies next to her, causing them to get smooshed together.

Both of them peer out of the vent to see the control room. Nichelle yells, "Hey! It's Chris!"

Chris spits out his orange juice as it gets all over the keyboard controls.

"What?!" He yells in surprise as he turns around, "Ugh, it's you..."

"Do you want us to save you or not?" Nichelle replies with attitude.

Right as she finishes, the vent begins creaking.

"Uh oh..." Wayne squeezes out before the vent structure collapses, leaving Nichelle and Wayne wrecked on the floor.

"Great." Chris responds with an angry expression, "Now we're all trapped in here!"

Wayne peers over Chris's shoulder and notices the sparks, "Um, Chris?"

Chris turns around, "Oh! Looks like my spit out orange juice is causing the control panel to go haywire."

"Should you... fix that?"

"No worries, I've accepted my death here. I knew I couldn't count on you snotty nosed kids to rescue me!"

Chris presses a button on the panel, "Attention contestants: Nichelle and Wayne are both now trapped in here with me! So if you thought you could be slick and leave me here to die, your friends will be goners too!"

Nichelle walks up and looks at the sparking panel, "Isn't this gonna cause some type of glitch?"

"Nope, should be fine."

Right after she finishes, MK and Axel can be seen panicking on the security cameras.

"Woah!" Wayne points out, "Look! There's more of those robot animal thingies attacking them."

Nichelle turns to Chris and speaks mockingly, "'Should be fine', huh?"

Chris shrugs, "Well if it's not us that's in danger then no problem! It'll make them work for immunity."

"Why do you even have a bunch of robot animals?" Wayne asks as he scratches his chin.

"The budget increased so I decided to bring back my favorite part of that one season!... What was it called? Pakistan Island?"

The camera swaps to the commotion outside.

"Let go of her!" Axel yells at the robot bear as it thrashes MK around.

"Maybe it's not worth it to save Chris!" MK screams as she desperately tries to keep her beanie on. (Girl has priorities).

The camera shows Caleb and Damien crawling out of a broken piece of tile and entering a white room with bright florescents.

"Yuck, this place smells like failed test grades and cheating." Caleb scoffs as Damien's eyes start to glow, "Um... What's with you?"

"It's... It's... BEAUTIFUL!"

"Oh brother..."

Damien runs over to a glass display case that has a bunch of chemicals: "Look at these! They could help us save Chris!"

"Or we could, y'know, actually find out where he is first and stop playing with potions."

Axel and MK's screaming can be heard from outside the room a ways away.

"Sounds bad," Damien comments as he grabs a bunch of bottles from the shelf, "We gotta go help them!"

"If by help you mean save Chris before they do, I'm all in."

The camera swaps back to MK and Axel as they are both cornered by the animatronics.

"Well, this is the end!" MK yelps as she clings onto Axel.

"They ate my shovel!" She cries, "We're DOOMED!"

The bear looms closer and drools.

"This is the end..." Axel grunts out as she looks down in sorrow.

MK in the confessional: "What? She's just gonna give up that easily? That's not the Axel I know."

MK looks over with a worried glance, "Axel, don't give up! Your, uh, mee-maw wouldn't want this! Your parents may have abandoned you but there are still people who care about you! Like me! Just imagine the bear to be one of the gazelles!"

Axel looks over at MK, her worried expression turning to a determined one.

"You're right! It's time to show these robots who's the survival expert around here!"

Axel gets into a battle stance, facing in front of multiple bears as Caleb and Damien charge in.

"What are you doing, Axel?!" Damien yells, "You need to get out of the way, I've got something that'll save us!"

He victoriously lifts up two tiny bottles from the chemical cabinet.

"You're gonna save us with water?" MK snarks.

"Just get out of the way!" Damien shouts as he opens up the contents of one bottle and adds it to the next, "Fire in the HOOOOOLE!"

Damien throws the bottle as MK and Axel flee as fast as they can. As the bottle is in mid-air, it explodes and destroys all of the bears.

As the dust settles, the contestants get up while coughing.

Damien stares at the destroyed animatronics, "Did I...? Did I just do that?! I am the MAN!" He yells victoriously as he does his little dance, "Now quick, we have to go save Chris from-"

Damien is interrupted by a robotic bear flying through the door of the control room. Nichelle and Wayne comes through the door with Chris.

"That'll teach you to mess with a world-famous actress!" Nichelle asserts as she poses triumphantly.

"Ah yes, FREEDOM!" Chris cheers as he stretches his limbs, "Being locked in there was seriously cramping my joints."

Nichelle goes to stand in front of the other contestants to gloat.

"How did you even get in there?" Caleb whines, "That was supposed to be MY victory!"

"An actress always has her ways." She teases.

"Who said Nichelle and Wayne win? I'LL be the judge of that!"

The contestants crowd around Chris and wait for him to continue,

"What? Did you expect me to say a twist? There is no twist: I just wanted to be the one to announce... that Wayne and Nichelle have won the challenge and immunity!"

Nichelle and Wayne cheer as Caleb growls.

He turns to Damien and closes his eyes, "Damien, that was a particularly horrendous performance from you today."

Damien just scoffs in return, "Chris, can we be unlocked from our partners now?"

"Oh, that was Chef's doing... go ask him. But more importantly, go get yourselves ready for tonight's elimination! As somebody will be going home."

All of the duos walk off except for MK, as she is held back by Axel, who looks deep in thought.

"What's wrong?" MK asks as she turns around.

"You... you've been looking at our confessionals." She lets out with a gasp of air at the end.

"Wh-What? That's crazy, I-"

"Don't lie to me MK!"

"But- No- I-" MK stutters as she tries to back away.

"I've never said anything about being abandoned by my parents before, and there's no way that you would know unless..."

MK stays silent, "Well... I just needed to protect our alliance and-"

"You lied to me..." She squeezes out before turning around and shouting, "AGAIN! You said you wouldn't spy on my privacy like that! But you lied. Like you always do."

"Axel, wait!"

Axel begins breathing heavily, and then grabs the handcuffs connecting them and breaks them straight in half.

"Whatever game you think you're playing here, leave me out of it. But just know, you will never be safe in this game. I will continue to target you until you're GONE, you hear me!"

Axel storms off as MK sighs, "Huh... Aye, aye, captain."

MK in the confessional: "I give her a pep talk so that we don't die, and this is how she repays me? This is why I never make friends."

Axel in the confessional: "I do everything to make sure MK stays in this game and this is how she treats me? This is why I never make friends... Now, I'm going to do something I enjoy to cheer me up." She finishes with a confident smirk.

Axel hides in the bushes near the mine and waits for her prey.

"Just now... any second."

The raptor comes out of the mine and sobs as it looks at a picture of Julia.

"What the... Whatever. CHAAAARGE!" Axel hoots as she storms toward the raptor.

The camera swaps to all of the contestants walking toward the elimination ceremony, with Caleb leading the pack as he clenches his fists. Damien and Wayne are shortly behind him as Damien hides behind Wayne nervously. Nichelle flips her hair as she walks confidently next to them. MK is behind them and looks around nervously, as Axel is nowhere to be seen.

Chris struts out confidently in his powder blue suit as he stretches, "Feels good to be set free! And because of that, Wayne and Nichelle are safe from elimination!" He cheers as he tosses a golden Chris statue at each of them, "Pure chocolate-y goodness for everyone: except the looooser."

"You seem to be in an oddly good mood." Damien comments suspiciously.

"And I have a good reason!" Chris exclaims, "Now introducing: Cheffete!"

Chef comes out in his see-through pink dress from the original Action season.

MK, Caleb, and Wayne chuckle a tiny bit from the audience.

"Hey!" Nichelle calls out, "Don't make fun of him: that is a slay!"

"It's a part of Chef's punishment!" Chris gleams, "For that little stunt he pulled, he can wear his favorite dress for old times sake."

Chef responds, "Whatever! This isn't even a part of my contract anymore. Can we just get this over with... where is Axel?"

"Right here!" She announces as she comes in with camouflage paint on her face, holding a stick with mysterious meat on it, "I cooked enough raptor for everyone! EXCEPT MK!"

"Yikes!" Damien exclaims through his teeth as all of the contestants lean away.

Axel sits down next to Nichelle in the bleachers: "What? Nobody wants any? Suit yourselves." She finishes before taking a huge bite of the raptor meat.

"Yeee..." Chris eeks out before composing himself, "And with that, uh, delicacy being served, it's time to cast your votes! But first, Chef has some words to say."

"MK! You seem to have a target painted on your back by a specific someone for being a terrible friend."

MK scowls and avoids eye contact as he continues, "Damien!"

Axel stops chewing and speaks with her mouth full, "Oh, that's what his name is."

Damien replies, "Are you for real?!"

"Damien, you could have won the challenge with your little chemistry bomb or whatever that was. You could have seriously injured somebody with that!"

"Um, actually..." Damien spouts as the rest of the contestants sigh, except for Wayne: "I simply just combined water with sodium and potassium to create a chemical explosion that could-"

Chef interrupts, "And lastly: Caleb! Your failure to win the challenge and negative attitude could cost you your game now that everyone knows your true intentions."

"Uh, yeah, I want to win the million dollars! Hellloooo, that's what we're all here for. You should all vote yourselves off NOW!"

"Thank you, Chef! Now, everyone, get voting pronto!"

Axel gets up quickly to vote as Caleb leans down to Nichelle, "Listen! We have got to vote together. I need to save my tail out here."

Nichelle smiles back, "Don't worry, I gotchu!"

After a few minutes, the last contestant sits back down as Chris announces, "Now that you're all here... it's time to reveal the votes."

Caleb in the confessional: "I'm thinking... MK!"

MK in the confessional: "My only chance to survive this stupid vote is to boot Caleb. Bye bye gorgeous complainer."

Nichelle in the confessional: She says nothing, instead, just giggling uncontrollably.

Wayne in the confessional: "Nichelle has been weird-ing me out lately... too bad she has immunity or I might vote for her. Not cool, man."

Damien in the confessional: "Your attitude is seriously not cool."

Axel in the confessional: "There's no chance that I go home tonight: I made myself dinner!"

"When I call your name, you are safe and may claim your genuine Chris statue..."

"First non-immune player safe iiiiis...

...

...

...

...

"Axel!"

Axel catches her statue, "Dessert fit for a winner!" She exclaims before biting the head off her statue.

"What did you do to her?" Caleb asks with offense as he turns to MK.

"Will you guys be quiet! You're ruining the cinematic moment here... but anyways, next safe is Damien."

Damien catches his statue and then nervously looks over at MK and Caleb.

"MK and Caleb. Both of you guys seem like outcasts among this cast. You've both been outed as not very trustworthy. But who is more untrustworthy? The sneaky weasel or the prime rib pretending to be cotton candy."

"Will you just get on with it?" Caleb snaps.

Chris eyes him for a bit, "The last player safe IIIS...

...

...

...

...

...

"MK!"

"YES!" She shouts with a raspy voice as she catches her statue.

Caleb's eyes are wide in shock as MK goes to mock him, "Looks like king kong just got king DUNKED on!"

MK begins doing a mocking dance as Caleb storms off.

"Sheesh, sensitive much?!" MK asks as the other contestants look at her with contempt.

The camera swaps to Caleb on the red carpet of shame.

"At least I get to go out in style." He sighs to Chris.

"Hey, Caleb!" Axel exclaims as she comes over to see him off, "You did a good job in this game. I know you were just trying to do what you had to. You voted for MK, right?"

"Uh-huh." Caleb nods, "The other four must have tag-teamed me."

The limo pulls up as Caleb gets in and waves to Axel, "I'll be rooting for you! And PLEASE tell Damien to get some real swagger! And tell MK to stop being so damn insecure! And tell Nichelle to-"

Chris gets in front of the camera, "Looks like one of our toughest competitors has just been driven on OUT of here! Who will be betrayed next? Who will snatch victory? Found out next time on TOTAL. DRAMA. ACTION!"

The camera swaps to MK, Nichelle, Wayne, and Damien walking back to the trailers.

"That was um..." MK comments, noticing the awkward tension: "Really something back there!"

Nichelle's smiling face turns to an angry one as she turns around to face her, "Don't think you're safe just because we needed to vote out Caleb for being a threat."

Damien joins in, "Yeah, how you've double-crossed Axel so many times is just cold."

"Mad harsh..." Wayne responds as the three of them turn to walk away.

MK looks down at the ground as a tear falls from her eye, which she quickly wipes away as she puts on a game-face.

Mysterious and eerie violin music begins playing as MK turns directly toward the camera.

She speaks in a low tone and narrows her eyes, "Don't count me out just yet... I've still got tricks up my sleeve." She explains as she pulls out Julia's phone and shows it to the camera, "It's amazing what technology can do these days."

Author's note: Sorry that this episode took so long to get out: it's tough writing these last chapters since I need to carefully plan everything and make sure everyone's arcs are executed properly. This is the second longest chapter so far.
Okay... I don't think ya'll are ready for this episode, I certainly am not! MK still has plans so don't think she's done causing chaos just yet. Things are about to shake up more than they ever have before... I will give a virtual cookie to whoever guesses what MK's next move is gonna be.
There's no cameo in this episode cause I couldn't really fit one in, but there will be one next competition episode!...

Next chapter will be a very special one...

TheCoolTrashCan: I'm glad you're enjoying the writing! I try to make it as show-accurate as possible while still keeping a bit of my own writing style and humor.

PinkMembrane12: I am planning on writing a World Tour season at this stage, as I have several ideas, but I'll need to see if I can actually execute it. I'm glad you loved chapter 9 and hope chapter 10 lives up to your expectations. Caleb is kinda getting done dirty by some of the contestants: he's not a villain he's just at his wits end at this point lol. I do consider him the secondary antagonist for this fic though, along with Julia.

dgxyy: I'm glad you're waiting on more chapters and hope you enjoy this one. Caleb is something tough to write to please people, because I think making him an antagonist makes sense since he has a motive from last season, but I like to see him use his brain for social and strategic moves rather than just everyone falling for his looks like Justin. The only female I can think of in this fic who is captured by his looks is Nichelle, but she voted him off this chapter so it obviously didn't work too well lmao. The Justin comparisons will probably come in a lot now that he has placed 6th but oh well.
