"Last time on Total Drama: World Tour!"
"I introduced our returning contestants to the plane, the beautiful land of Ireland, the drop of shame, and most importantly: my nephew, Jared! Oh… and Ezra and Freckles were there as well. But not on any teams! The game is starting out as a free-for-all!
A montage of the returning contestants reacting to the new contestants plays.
"But none of our newbies ended up getting shelved, as despite Axel and Ripper's campaigns to send each other home, I finally let Priya tell us about her new med-school gig! And so she quit… lame, but still welcome! She was sent on her way down in the drop of shame, but not without a goodbye from a distressed Millie and a supportive Damien."
"Who will be thrown out of the plane in this episode? Find out right here, right now, on TOTAL. DRAMA: WORLD TOUR!"
The camera opens up to the first class cabin, with Julia sitting in one of the luxury chairs next to Ezra. Caleb and Axel sit across from them.
"Wow Ezra, you are just full of so much wisdom! How about you tell me about those badges on your… nun outfit?"
"Oh, these humble things? They're just rewards I got from the head nun for saving widows and orphans back in my home country."
"Saving widows and orphans… really?" Caleb asks as he takes a cucumber off his eye.
"Okay, well, that was more of a half truth." She replies sheepishly as she shrinks down, "I got most of them for mopping the floors of the cathedral… but that saves widows and orphans from bacteria and viruses." She finishes softly as she clasps her hands.
"Uhuh…"
Julia touches her hand, "Wow, you seriously save people's lives like that! I wish I could be more like you."
"Why thank you, Juliet!"
Axel responds, reclining in her chair with cucumbers on her eyes: "Who is Juliet…?"
Julia in the confessional: "Of course, how did I not see it before?! If everyone on the show hates me, then I'll just manipulate the nunnery into taking my side. Pretending to like that is very difficult, however."
"You could be like me one day easily, just stay humble and follow the Lord."
Caleb chuckles a bit.
"You can learn a lot from negative examples too: like Caleb!"
"This is coming from the same woman that just said you could be like me one day." He mocks.
Axel can be seen trying to lick the cucumbers off her eyes in the background as Ezra grimaces and crosses her arms.
"Don't worry Ezra, he's just playin' around." Julia smiles.
"No. I'm not."
"Isn't he so silly?"
"YES!" Axel exclaims victoriously after flipping the cucumber into her mouth, "Victory tastes sweet! …Actually, it's more like vegetables."
Axel in the confessional: "After how stressful last season was, I just wanna kick back and have fun if I have to be here. As long as I don't get put on the same team as Ripper, I'll be good."
Chase walks by with a glass of orange mimosa.
"You guys have got to try this mimosa! It's wicked."
"You're drinking? At 9 in the morning?" Caleb asks, offended.
"Calm down, it's a mocktail! And besides, I'm not 21 yet."
"That never stopped me!" Ezra cheers.
"Um… what?" Julia questions.
"Speaking of never stopping me, Chasetian, may we have a moment in private?"
"I think she's talking to you, brother." Chase says to Zee, who walks into frame.
"Naaaw man, it's Hezekias, not change station… or whatever she said."
"That's right, Zee! I would like a word with Chase, as you guys so call him."
"So you're gonna call Zee by his nickname but make up names for us?" Caleb asks in confusion.
"Precisely!" She cheers as she jumps up, "Come now, Chasetian!"
Ezra grabs him with surprising force and drags him near the snack bar.
"Ooooh, is this like a date or something?"
"Yes, it is. A date with the Lord in the form of an intervention!"
"Lorde? Isn't she in New Zealand?"
"I don't know what you are referring to, but it sounds like a pagan religion!... this is even worse than I thought."
"Oh, no, I'm not religious. My parents say that makes you poor."
"Incorrect! For I am rich in spirit!... and also money, for the church pays me well…but that's beside the point. For I have called you here to have a conversation about your!… uh, tendencies."
"My… tendencies?"
Chase in the confessional: "What does she mean tendencies? OOOOOH, she must be talking about my ripped tendons!"
"Yes, like how you don't seem to care about anyone but yourself!"
"Well, with ripped tendons like these, who wouldn't?!" He gloats as he stretches his thighs and legs.
"OH GOODNESS!" She shouts as she covers her eyes and runs away, "How immodest!"
Ezra in the confessional: "No worries, I will get to him at a later date when he behaves like a proper Christian man."
Julia stands by the bathroom door, tapping her foot.
"Ugh… will Chase get out of here already?"
Zee walks into frame with a water glass.
"Wow… you're not drinking soda for once?"
"Hey Julia, need me to get you some water?"
"No… why would I, neckosaurus?"
"Cause brah, you must be pretty salty after all that buttering up you did."
"What are you talking about?"
"I'm talking about all those saturated fats you're using on the nun lady." He says before taking a soda out of thin air and sipping it.
"I have no idea what you mean, Ezra is… HUGH!" She tries to finish her sentence but begins gagging, "She's so… HMM, I'm gonna be sick… COOL!"
Zee raises an eyebrow at her suspiciously before replying, "Ah, that's convincing. For a second I thought you were trying to rope her into some kind of alliance."
Zee in the confessional: "Wow, Julia is waaay nicer than she used to be."
"Alliance? Me? No way, Jose!"
"Actually, it's Hezekias."
"I didn't ask... plus, it's just a figure of speech."
"Ooooh yeah… say, could you hold my glass of water for me? It's totally getting in the way of my soda…"
The camera swaps to the loser's quarters. Jared, Freckles, Emma, and MK are present.
Freckles bangs her head on the wall between every few words, "I can't believe… Chris won't let me… quit this stupid show."
"I know, right?" Jared responds from the bench, before turning to MK next to him: "It's in the newbies' contracts that we're not allowed to quit!"
"Oh wow, so sad." MK responds sarcastically, before covering her mouth: "Uh… sorry."
"Wow, way to be fake, MK."
MK in the confessional: "Since last season I've been trying to be less sarcastic and petty, but it's not going that well. My mother tongue is sarcasm, and it is one tough beast to tame. I'll only bring it out on people who really deserve it, like Chris. Or people who know I'm joking, like Axel."
"What are you complaining about?" Freckles snaps at him, "YOU got to audition for the show and were picked out of probably thousands of applicants! I didn't want to be here, but now I'm stuck here."
"UUUUUUUUGH-" Jared complains loudly as he slides to the floor, "Just do the basic Total Drama thing and try to get voted out, why don't you."
"Hey… that's a great idea!"
"Really? I was being sarcastic! That never works until you don't want it to, or unless you're that weird incel guy from Pakistan Island…"
She ignores his statement and poses cheerfully in front of him, "I'll throw all the challenges so my team will vote me off! It's a full-proof plan."
"Yeah, but not fool-proof." MK replies, trying to sound as earnest as she can.
"What do you mean?"
She sighs before explaining with hand motions, "Everytime someone on Total Drama tries to get themselves voted off, it never happens."
"How come?"
"It's just the law of plot development I guess. I blame the producers: it's probably rigged."
"Hmm… alright, I'll try something different I guess… I'll just… be myself."
"Yeah, that'll do it." Jared replies, "But why didn't you listen when I gave you that advice?"
"Huh?... You said something?"
"Hey! Don't treat me like I don't exist, you, you… LEPRECHAUN!"
Freckles and MK gasp dramatically.
"...What?"
"Don't say that to me, that's a SLUR!"
Emma skips into frame and gets between everyone.
"Woah, woah, woah: hold up guys! Where is your positive spirit, huh?"
"Positivity is for white people." Freckles responds monotonously.
"Yeah, you tell 'em sister." MK adds on with an eye roll.
"I know right, Freckles?" Emma agrees joyfully, "We totally need to take down the white male patriarchy and get beautiful women like you and me to the top of society!"
"Well that changed fast…" Freckles replies as she scratches her head.
"Ugh, Emma, stop being so woke." Jared groans.
"Speaking of woke, I want some sunny-side up eggs!" She cheers in response before walking away, "See you guys at breakfast!"
"I don't feel like eating after seeing that." Jared says monotonously.
"Me neither." Freckles groans as she lays down.
At breakfast:
Wayne goes to sit down next to Damien with his plate, "Hey Damien, I'm pretty worried abo-UGH!"
Millie body checks him to the ground casually and then sits next to Damien.
"Hey Damien, mind if I sit with you?!" She asks, looking a little panicked.
"Uh… I guess? Are you gonna help Wayne up?"
She replies rapidly, not taking any breaths: "It's fine, maybe he can go to the emergency room to be with Raj and Bowie, wouldn't that be so fun and good for him, It's always great to be with friends, isn't it?"
"Woah, woah, slow down… is this about Priya?"
"Yeah, how did you know?!"
Millie in the confessional: "I've never been this long without Priya since the first season… we always video chatted or hung out in person every night if we had the time! It's really stressful being in the competition without her, but at least I still have Damien, right? That's close enough, right?!"
"Uh… you seem a bit on edge right now, how about we play a card game?"
"Oh yeah, that'd be fun, and it could get my mind off things, we should play uno, I'll go get the cards!"
Damien leans down to Wayne as Millie waddles away swiftly, "...You okay, Wayne?"
Wayne gives him a thumbs up from the floor and groans.
Damien in the confessional: "Okay, I'm actually pretty worried about Millie. Usually she's cool as ice, but right now she seems to be… melting."
Damien attempts to lift a limp Wayne off the floor, "Alright buddy, up we go…"
Wayne looks dazed before suddenly snapping out of it, "Raji?!"
Wayne gets up and runs to Raj and Bowie as they arrive.
"Raji! It is you!" He cheers as he embraces him.
"OH- Watch the lower back!"
"Oh, sorry. Still not fully healed from the rink?"
"Naw, it was the boulders!" He replies innocently, "I'm mostly healed now but still a bit sore."
Raj in the confessional: "Man it feels so GOOD to have Wayne act like my best bud again!"
Damien calls from off-screen, "Wayne, you ready to play Uno?!"
"You're on! Hey, you gonna play cards with us Raji?"
"Uh…" he shrinks down and pauses for a second, "No, I think I still need time to heal so…"
"Aw, alright buddy. It won't be as fun without cha'!"
Raj glares angrily as Wayne runs off.
"Ugh… I can't believe he is still spending all his time with Damien!"
Bowie raises an eyebrow, "He did ask if you wanted to play with them."
"I know, I know… but I'm supposed to be his best friend."
"Well, you still have me." Bowie reassures with a hand on his shoulder.
"Yeah… I guess that's true."
Raj in the confessional: "Maybe I would be able to cope with losing my best friend if things with my boyfriend were going fine… I admire him a lot but he just keeps treating me like I'm dumb or something, and he won't listen to me either." He finishes with a sigh as he slumps down, "I'm worried the honeymoon phase is over. And he's my first boyfriend! I don't want to just let him go so easily."
"Ah man, you changed the color again!" Wayne complains across the table from a smirking Lauren.
"You just love doing that, don't you?" Damien complains.
"I live for your misery!" She cheers joyfully, "That's revenge for Millie playing that +4 card on me!"
"When did that happen? I'm not even next to you…"
"Yeah, she played that on ME!" Damien shouts.
"Oh, whoops, must have made a memory slip since I hate Millie with a passion."
"What? What did I do?"
"You know what you did…" She growls.
Damien in the confessional: "Is it weird that this is the 'nicest' she's ever been to us? I might have preferred it when she was scaring us… naw, who am I kidding. She actually tried to kill me with construction equipment before."
Chris slides into the room in style as salsa music plays.
"Uno, dos, très!" He exclaims, "It's a great thing you guys decided to bust out the uno cards!"
"Are we landing in Spain today?" Millie asks.
"Naw, it's gotta be somewhere in South America." Bowie chimes in.
"No, it's Brazil!" Wayne shouts.
"Nope, we're going to Poland!"
Crickets chirp as the contestants sit in silence.
"What does any of what you just did have to do with Poland?" Nichelle asks.
"It doesn't. I just had to make use of my recent salsa dancing classes."
Jared walks in with a glass of orange juice in hand.
"Ugh, give it up grandpa. Aren't you like 60 by now?"
"No! I'm only like thirty!-... forty six."
"Dang, he's almost ready for the grave." MK comments to Emma.
"Down with the patriarchy." She mutters under her breath.
"...What?"
MK in the confessional: "Axel better come back from first class soon, I can't stand being around anybody else."
The door begins creaking open.
"I'm done, I'm done!" MK exclaims as Nichelle drags her out of the confessional.
"Well whether or not Poland has anything to do with uno or poles, we have landed in Białowieża forest and are ready to start today's challenge!"
"Five more minutes, grandpa." Jared mocks him as he pretends to be asleep.
The camera swaps to Chris and Chef standing in front of all the contestants in a clearing of the forest.
"Welcome to Białowieža forest! Home to nuns, poles, and the elusive European bison! Hopefully you pea brains have realized by now that there are no teams yet."
"It was literally the premise of the entire last episode." Julia snarks as she looks up from her phone, "And why is there no service out here?!"
"We're in the middle of a giant forest in a foreign country, genius." Caleb snarks.
"Ugh! Chris!" Julia whines, "Are you just gonna let him say that to me?"
"Yes… why wouldn't I?"
"Have you seen my MySelfieGram followers? I have six times as many as you."
Chef asks Chris, "...You have a MySelfieGram account?"
"Yep, it's mostly boring bot posts once a month though. Obviously run by some pathetic intern."
"Hey!" Freckles snaps, "I spent WEEKS coming up with the puns in those!"
Julia ignores her, "So I think I deserve a little respect here since I'm the most famous!"
"Yeah, call me when you make almost a million dollars just from one TV appearance, we'll talk then!"
Julia growls at him as Ripper pipes up, "Weren't we just about to talk about the teams?"
"Yes indeed, my gassy friend. Since Caleb, Zee, and Julia found the clovers last episode, they'll get to pick the teams!"
"Okay, I'll go first since I slayed the hardest." Julia comments swiftly.
"Nope! You three are going to have to vote to decide who has to pick last-"
"Julia." Caleb replies instantly.
"What?! I pick Caleb!"
Both immediately turn to Zee.
"Uh… I vote for myself!"
Zee in the confessional: "I don't wanna be between anybody's conflicts, man!"
"You can't do that Zee… you've got to pick Caleb or Julia."
"Uuuuh… alright. Can I phone a friend?"
"Just pick one already!"
"Okay, FINE! I VOTE FOR JULIA!"
"Wise choice, amigo." Caleb says confidently.
"UGH, I knew this show was rigged!" Julia groans.
Zee in the confessional: "I picked Julia because she was super weird about the butter thing this morning. Who doesn't like butter?!"
"And which one of you will be going first?" Chris inquires.
"Ah, no worries brah, I'll let Caleb go first."
"Wow… really?! Thanks Zee!"
Caleb in the confessional: "Y'know, maybe he's not so bad after all. He diiiid help us a lot in the last challenge when I got to throw him through that window."
"Oh come on!" Julia gripes, "So I just get stuck with all the leftovers nobody wants?"
"You really aren't the brightest, huh?" Chris mocks, "Each of you will choose one contestant at a time. However, the three newbies are off limits until the end, so you'll have to pick from everybody you've come to know and love."
"Know and love?" Julia questions, "That'll be hard then…"
The camera flashes forward to Caleb, Zee, and Julia standing in front of the rest of their lined up choices. Ezra, Freckles, and Jared sit off to the side.
"Hmmm… who should I pick?" Caleb asks himself as he narrows his eyes and puts his hand on his chin, "...Not MK."
"Okay… rude."
"Definitely not Rippeeeer…"
Ripper leans to Chase, "He can't take the power of an alpha male on his team. It makes him feel small."
"Not Damien… we don't want any more meltdowns about toothpaste…"
"Is the commentary really necessary?" Damien asks angrily.
"Yes, yes it is. I already know who I wanna pick- I just needed to voice my commentary."
"Not that I don't love the insults here, but can we get a move on?" Chris asks impatiently.
"Alright, alright. My first pick is… Bowie!"
Bowie turns his head back to look at Caleb in shock.
"Really… me?"
Bowie in the confessional: "Now what is this all about? I hope he's still not mad about season one… I'll be keeping my eye on him."
Caleb in the confessional: "I had to make sure to snatch Bowie first. He's a great team member to have, but he can also be a schemer at times. So I'll just create a team that won't mind voting him off, in case he gets any ideas. I just need Axel and Emma now and we should be good."
Bowie keeps his guard up as he stands next to Caleb.
Zee begins humming in thought, "Hmm… since I don't want to be predictable, I'll pick my bestie: MK!"
"Ugh… okay." She responds half heartedly.
"You two are friends?" Jared questions.
"Yeah, I guess." She replies as she stands next to Zee, "He did help me a lot in the finale last time."
"FINALLY!" Julia whines dramatically, "My turn! I pick… Axel."
Axel shrugs and walks to Julia.
"Ugh… of course." Caleb groans, "I'll pick Emma."
"An immaculate choice!" She cheers as she stands confidently next to her team.
She attempts to smile at Bowie, but he avoids eye contact with her.
Zee begins speaking, "Hmm, I'll pick- WOAH!"
MK pulls Zee into a huddle, "Yo… don't pick who I think you're about to pick."
"Who? Chase?"
"Yes. That one."
"What about my second choice, Ripper?"
"Nope not him either, try again."
"Well who do I pick then?"
"Pick someone who's athletic but also not super annoying… so that would leave uuuuh, I don't know actually."
MK in the confessional: "I may be failing at the not being snarky and obnoxious thing, but picking the teams is important!... good thing Nichelle fell asleep so I could make this confessional!"
"HAH, you THOUGHT!" Nichelle screams as her head pops out of the toilet.
"Just ONCE, please!"
Zee turns around and looks at his options.
"Pssssst-" Nichelle whispers to Zee as she crouches down, "Pick meeeee."
"We can all hear you." Freckles says monotonously.
"PSSSST! PICK ME!"
Zee looks at MK as she asserts, "Don't pick Nichelle."
The team leader stands in front of everyone and announces proudly, "After careful consideration, I have decided to add Michelle Lefonda to our team!"
Jared rolls his eyes, "Lindsay reference. Lame."
Nichelle stands proudly next to MK, who avoids eye contact.
"Alright, let's see…" Julia ponders quietly, "I'll pick Ripper!"
"Ugh, WHY?!" Axel whines.
"Beecaaaaause!" Julia whines back.
Julia in the confessional: "If I can't have Ezra on my team right away, then I'll just make sure the mortal enemies will be at each other's throats if we go to elimination."
"Good to know there are still women who have good taste!" Ripper cheers.
Emma leans to Caleb, "You should choose Millie. We could really use her wisdom!"
"Uh…"
Caleb thinks for a second as he looks over to an anxiety-ridden Millie.
"Yeah… that's just sad. I'll pick Millie!"
Millie smiles slightly and walks over.
"Who do I pick now?" Zee asks MK quietly.
"Hmm… pick Wayne or Raj. We should separate them."
"I'll pick Wayne!" Zee exclaims.
Wayne bounds over and smiles at his team.
"And I'll piiiiick…" Julia begins trailing off.
Julia looks at her remaining choices: Lauren, Chase, Damien, and Raj.
"Ugh… I'll pick Chase I guess."
"Raaawr-" Chase purrs as he comes over, "Looks like this little lady can't keep herself away from me."
"Get lost."
Julia in the confessional: "I just want all the viewers at home to know that I did NOT choose him because I like anything about that less-famous-than-me influencer. I did it since out of everyone left, he's probably the easiest pea brain to manipulate."
"Hmm…" Caleb hums in thought.
Bowie taps his shoulder, "Mind doing me a favor and picking Raj?"
Bowie in the confessional: "Maybe this makes me look too desperate, but I need to keep Raj on my team. He's been acting so strange recently."
Caleb looks over at Damien and then Lauren, who is stomping on bugs as they walk by.
"Alright, as you wish. I'll pick Raj!"
"Alright!" Bowie cheers.
Raj walks over sheepishly, "Uh, thanks Bowie… but what about Wayne?"
"He'll be fine, he's got Damien."
Raj turns away and grimaces at the other team.
"As much as I regret this," MK whispers to Zee, "You should probably pick Scary Girl so we don't have both Wayne and Damien."
"Naw, she's scared of me. My final pick will be Damien!"
"Okay, so much for that…" MK groans.
"Congratulations on being the last pick, Scary Girl!" Chris exclaims, "You'll be on team Julia."
"Team Julia, I like that." Julia smiles at her team's name as Lauren walks over reluctantly.
"Well… it's not gonna last long. Because from now on, your team will be known as The Flutter Manes!"
"Really… that's what my team gets?" Julia complains.
"It sounds like a rejected My Little Horsie." Freckles adds on.
"I'm glad you like it, Freckles. You might have to be on that team…" Chris teases.
"And I love rejected things! They're my favorite. Love that team name. So good."
"I bet we'll get something cooler." Zee comments as he judges MK's shoulder.
"Great timing, Zee. Your team will be known as… The Scream Tails!"
"Ooh, fun!" Nichelle cheers.
"That certainly makes me want to scream." MK sighs as she covers her face.
"And finally, Caleb's team will be known as The Iron Jugulis!"
"Okay now this is just getting ridiculous." Caleb responds, "What does any of that even mean?"
"Don't know, but it won some online poll from the fans so that's what we're going with."
"How did those names win an online poll…?" Ezra asks innocently.
"Probably got raided by trolls." Jared explains with a shrug, "Happens all the time."
"Trolls?! Everybody knows trolls are just cave demons. We must decide new team names at once!"
Chris turns to the formed teams, "And which one of you wants Ezra on your team?"
Caleb and Zee stay silent.
"I'll take her, Chris!" Julia exclaims as she runs to hug Ezra.
"Oh, dear, make sure not to wrinkle the habit."
"Alright, glad that's settled. How about Jared, anyone?"
"Not me." Caleb replies, "I'll take Freckles."
"Ugh, of course pick the Mary Sue!" Jared groans.
"I feel like you don't even know what that means…" Freckles replies with an airy tone as she walks to her new team.
"Omg Freckles, it's so great to have you here!" Emma greets her joyfully, "Ezra was my first choice, but you'll do too I guess."
"Thank you. Very encouraging." She replies sarcastically.
Freckles in the confessional: "I'm sure if I just act grumpy and try to sabotage the challenges, I'll be booted off in no-time! I just hope I didn't get put on the overpowered team."
"And Junior, that means you're on the Scream Tails!"
Jared walks over swiftly with his arms crossed and glares at his teammates, "I can't believe I have to be stuck on a team with you losers."
"The feeling is mutual." Damien replies monotonously.
Damien in the confessional: "Jared made my girlfriend's last moments on the show miserable. And there are consequences for that."
Chris smirks, "It's great to see you're all getting along so well."
Chris motions to Chef, who throws three team flags at the contestants and begins explaining,
"For the Flutter Manes, your mascot will be the purple butterfly of truth."
"Ooh, I like it!" Ezra cheers as she catches the flag, with the rest of her team looking unimpressed, "I bet I could sew this into an extra habit!"
"Butterfly of truth? Very high fantasy." Jared says as he looks at MK.
"Scream Tails, you'll have the yellow screaming lizard of awareness."
Zee attempts to catch the flag, but he misses as it lands on Jared, who just stands there and accepts it.
MK glances at the loud and bright decal, "Oh that's… charming."
Nichelle grabs the team's flag and wraps it around her neck like a cape.
"This is super fashion forward. There's no way we'll lose now."
"And lastly, the Iron Jugulis mascot is the green iron dragon of nobility!"
Caleb catches the flag and inspects it, "Cooool! Really matches my eyes, don't you think?"
"It really does." Emma swoons.
Emma in the confessional: "Caleb is such an alpha male! I should turn on my feminine charms to get him to see how high value I am."
Emma begins posing uncomfortably.
Caleb keeps looking the other way as Millie pipes up, "Um… Emma? Are you okay?"
"Yes, I'm good! Just stretching before the challenge." She replies, trying to sound earnest.
The camera swaps to Chris and the contestants facing toward the dense forest.
Flutter Manes: Julia, Ezra, Ripper, Axel, Lauren, and Chase.
Scream Tails: Zee, MK, Jared, Nichelle, Damien, and Wayne.
Iron Jugulis: Caleb, Emma, Millie, Freckles, Raj, and Bowie.
"Is everybody ready for the challenge?" Chris asks with a mysterious smirk.
"Uh… what are we supposed to do?" Damien asks.
"It's a lot like the am-AH-zon challenge from 15 years ago. Just take a nice peaceful stroll through the forest and do the mini-challenges on the way."
"Okay, cringe." Jared comments.
Chris glares at him, "Well, since Jared is so against this challenge, I'll have the Scream Tails go last while the others get a headstart!"
"Gladly!" Jared snaps back.
Everybody on the team glares at him in disapproval.
"...What?"
Jared in the confessional: "A little setback like this never hurt a team before! They need to stop being such babies."
Chris smirks as the other two teams run into the wilderness.
"Just a few more minutes, guys!" Chris mocks.
The camera swaps to the Flutter Manes and Iron Jugulis running up to a forked road.
"Hehehe…" Raj snickers, "I'm glad Damien's team got a penalty."
"Why?" Bowie questions, "Your best bud Wayne is also on that team?"
"If they lose, maybe Damien will go home and I can finally have my best friend back!"
"AHEM-" Caleb interrupts, "We're trying to have a team vote here. Which way should we go?"
Emma chimes in, "I said we should go down the right path since it's the right path. Plus I feel good vibes from that side."
Bowie crosses his arms and avoids eye contact, "Whatever… what do you think, Raj?"
"I can't argue with Emma's logic."
"Alright, then it's settled!" Caleb exclaims as his team traverses to the right.
…
"Okay, they're gone. Can we please make a decision now?" Ripper complains to the team leader.
"Relax! I was waiting for them to choose a path so we can follow them. If we choose the wrong path, we're basically at a loss. But if we follow them, at least we'll both be right or wrong."
"No, wait!" Axel yelps as her team begins to follow the other team, "I smell a strange oily smell from that side. The left side smells much better!"
"So we're going by smell now?" Ripper interrogates, "It doesn't matter what the path smells like, I'll just stink it up anyways!"
"Gross." Julia winces.
Ezra responds by pulling a bottle out and spritzing it in the air.
"Uh… what's that for?" Chase asks.
"It's my frankincense and myrrh spray! It keeps the air holy, and smelling fresh."
"I am a survival EXPERT!" Axel argues with Ripper, "I know my way around a forest, I was raised by wolves!"
"Yeah, you sure act like it."
"Hey, hey, hey!" Julia interrupts forcefully, "As much as I respect your survival instincts, we need to hurry up and follow the other team! And as the team leader, my decision is final."
"...Fine." She responds with defeat.
"No, Axel is right!" Ezra cheers, "After some careful evaluation by the holy ghost, I am able to smell a strong sisterly presence from the left path!"
"A sisterly presence?" Ripper questions, "Why not a brotherly presence? And why do you guys decide everything by smell?!"
"That's a great idea, Ezra!" Julia cheers, "The left path it is!"
"Hazzah!" Ezra cheers as the two run down the left path.
"Wha- are they serious?" Ripper asks.
The Scream Tails arrive at the junction.
"They're still here?" Jared asks, "Talk about wasting time…"
"You seem to know a lot about that!" Damien replies sarcastically.
"Hey… aren't they missing a member?" MK asks as she witnesses the two running off and three members still present.
"Let's not waste any more time." Wayne asserts as he takes the lead down the right path, "Follow me, team!"
The Scream Tails shrug and follow Wayne.
"Well, we don't really have a choice, they're long gone now." Axel comments as she runs down the left path.
"Ugh… how'd we get stuck on this team with women?" Ripper asks Chase.
"I know, right?... I kind of like it for some reason." He replies nonchalantly as he follows after his team.
Chase in the confessional: "I'm honestly worried about what's happening with me. First, I wanted to help the other contestants I saw almost drown, and NOW? I seem to be okay with female leadership?" He finishes with a shiver, "I must have caught the… poor people disease."
Raj runs along with Bowie, as the rest of the team leads.
"I mean, what does Damien have that I don't? I'm athletic, I like hockey, I'm cool, I'm smart!"
Bowie chuckles a bit, "Of course you are, honey bear! Now let's focus on the challenge so we can win."
Raj stops in his tracks and frowns.
Raj in the confessional: "Honey bear? And what was with that laugh? Does Bowie really think I'm stupid?" He asks with wide-eyed realization.
Bowie in the confessional: "I really like Raj, and I know he's upset about Wayne right now, but it's not a big deal like he's making it out to be! We're in the game right now and so what matters most is that we win. Huh… this is exactly what I was afraid of."
Caleb turns his head to notice Raj and grinds to a halt, causing Emma, Millie, and Freckles to run into his back and fall to the ground.
"OOF-" Emma grunts as she falls, "Wow… your back is like… so solid!"
He ignores her statement and walks to Raj, "Why have we stopped?"
Raj clings onto him suddenly and begins sobbing, "Why does Wayne not like me anymooooore?!"
"That's what this is about?" Caleb asks in frustration, before starting to frown in empathy: "Okay, listen, how about at the next challenge you can just sabotage Damien or something, alright? Would that make it better?"
Raj's face lights up, "Yes, that's it!"
Bowie's jaw drops to the floor, "Seriously? That's the advice you're going to give him? It'll probably just slow us down."
Caleb leans to him and whispers, "This is the quickest way to get him to stop moping."
"Hmm… alright."
"NO, NOT DAMIEN!" Millie whines, "Anybody but him!"
The three guys just stare at her before Bowie chimes in, "Alright… who let Priya back on the show?"
Millie clings to Caleb's shirt, "Please don't sabotage him, he's the only one I have left!"
"Okay, FINE! We won't sabotage Damien!"
"O-Okay, good." She stutters before walking off.
Caleb winks to Raj, who replies with a smile. Freckles notices this exchange and narrows her eyes at them.
Freckles in the confessional: "Who do these two think they are? I'M the one who's supposed to be sabotaging us! I've gotta find a way to sabotage their sabotage."
"HOOOT HOOOT!" Wayne yells from a distance as he comes over the horizon.
"Alright, let's get a move on!" Caleb commands as the team continues down the path.
The camera swaps back to the Flutter Manes as they come across a mysterious hut.
"Finally, a shake shack!" Ripper exclaims joyfully as he wanders over.
Julia comments, "Yeah, a mysterious hut in the middle of the forest. This can't be bad at all."
Ripper bangs on the side of the wall as he looks through the opening, "Hello? Anybodu home? Do you still have the limited edition peanut butter butter-popcorn freeze?!"
"I think I just barfed a bit in my mouth." Julia gags.
Axel looks around as she takes her cracked shovel from her back, "...Aren't we missing a player?"
Her comment gets interrupted by Ezra's shriek, "SISTER!"
Ezra runs over and hugs a tall and skinny dark-skinned figure dressed in a habit.
"Huh…." Lanky sighs, "Hello sister."
"Is that one of the interns?" Axel questions in confusion.
"No, it is I: sister lankikus." He replies with no enthusiasm, "Before continuing down this holy path, you must answer my riddles and be drenched in the holy water!"
He pulls out a Chris McClain brand water bottle from the hut,
"I mean… the holy water!" He exclaims as he puts the bottle back and grabs a bucket, "Filled with the freshest spring water from the alps!"
"I'm not putting that filtered Chris McClain tap water anywhere near my body." Julia snarks.
"It's not Chris McClain brand filtered tap water!" He snaps as he sinks himself further into character, "It is blessed by the Lord from Mount Sinai."
Chase replies, "But you just said it was from-"
"BA BA BA BA BA-" He shushes him, "You may now get a chance to answer my riddle!"
He begins trailing on, "From sea to shining sea, and sunlight to sunset, the grass fed figure rises between dusk to daaaawn!"
"Ugh, this is gonna take a while." Julia groans as she sits down.
"Isn't it so great that I get to meet another genuine sister out here in the middle of the forest?" Ezra asks innocently.
"You know that's just one of the male interns dressed in costume, right?" Axel responds.
"Sssssh! She's speaking!"
The camera swaps to the Iron Jugulis as they arrive at a checkpoint.
"Glad to see you guys finally arrived!" Chris greets, "See these poles here?"
Chris motions to the three team-marked poles.
"You're taking the name of this country way too literal." Bowie critiques.
"Take a shimmy up your team's pole into the treeline and retrieve the Polish flag from the top. Which one of you will do the honors?"
"You should totally tackle this one, Millie." Caleb flatters, "Your fit body will be up there in no time."
"What? R-really? Me?"
"Absolutely."
"Caleb is right!" Emma chimes in, "Your huge thighs were made to cling onto things!"
"Uh… I guess that's true."
Bowie begins, "Am I the only one who sees something wrong with this?"
"Shush, let her do it!" Caleb squeezes through his teeth at him, before turning to smile at Millie.
"Alright guys, I'll do it! But please let me know when Damien's team gets here, I don't want to accidentally fall on him!"
"Uh… sure." Caleb replies, unsure.
Millie goes to climb the pole as Emma cheers, "Woo! Millie, you got this! Just remember, you're fun-sized, not fat!"
"That's not helping!" She groans as she begins to climb.
"Amazing job, Millie! We'll get that flag in no time!" He encourages before leaning to Raj, "You see the trees we walked by at the entrance? We should go collect some of the sap to sabotage Damien's pole."
"Good idea."
"Um… maybe not so much of a good idea?" Bowie questions, "If we want to win the challenge, why don't we just send someone actually athletic up the pole?"
"Because we had to distract Millie!" Raj snaps, "And besides this isn't about winning, it's about sabotage."
Bowie grabs Raj's shoulders, "Raj… this is not how we deal with our problems, okay?"
"Stop saying things like that! You never take any of my ideas seriously."
Caleb watches the two bicker before grabbing some sap from the trees.
"See this sticky sap? Spread it all around the Scream Tails flag and we'll have an even bigger lead!"
Raj takes some sap, "We gotta go quick, I hear them coming!"
"Ugh... this better not come back to bite us." Bowie sighs.
Off in the distance, Wayne can be heard:
"And so then I jumped on the roof to retrieve the Frisbee and accidentally fell from 2 and a half stories! But I recovered after a year or so." He explains as they walk along the path nonchalantly.
"Can we pick up the pace, guys?!" Nichelle asks as she begins jogging in place, "We're probably only like five minutes from losing right now!"
"No need to rush, brah." Zee replies calmly.
"Yeah, I don't really feel like running right now anyway." MK adds on.
"And I don't care if we lose!" Jared shouts.
"We knooooow…" The entire rest of the team replies.
"Guys, look, I can see the other team!" Wayne announces as he books it, "Follow me if you want to wiiiin!"
The rest of the team jogs after him, except Nichelle.
"That's what I've been saying this whole time! UGH!" She complains before following.
The Scream Tails arrive at the challenge site as the Iron Jugulis look up at Millie.
"Doing good, Millie!" Emma shouts.
"I feel like I'm almost there!"
The camera zooms out to show Millie 10 feet above ground.
"Yeah… only about 30 feet more to go." Bowie groans.
Raj giggles as he elbows Bowie, "Watch, watch!"
MK begins talking to her team, "I'm not going up the pole, Jared won't go up the poll, and we definitely shouldn't let Zee or Nichelle go up the pole."
"Gurl, what? I'm an action star!"
"Two words: coconut - tree."
Wayne shivers and hugs himself, "So… many… times…"
"Okay, fine! I won't carry us to victory, then." She says moodily as she turns up her nose.
"So that leaves Wayne or Damien: and I say we send the hockey boy."
"Of course coach, I'm on it!" He exclaims.
"Woah, woah, woah!" Damien stops him, "Did we all not just hear the story of him falling off the roof? He's a total klutz! No offense, Wayne."
"None taken, it's a good point." He replies with his thick accent.
"Alright fine, you go then Damien!" MK snaps, "We don't have much time."
"As long as Wayne stays safe, I'm good!"
Raj hears this, "aS lOnG aS wAyNe sTaYs sAfE. Wayne lives to get hurt! He knows nothing about him…"
"Yeah, he's the one who knows nothing about him." Bowie snarks.
"You're almost there Millie! Keep going!" Caleb cheers as he looks over to Damien.
Damien attempts to climb the pole but keeps sliding down.
"Ugh… what is this stuff?!"
"What's the hold up, Megamind?" Jared asks as the team walks over.
"There's some gross sticky stuff on the pole!"
"Let me see…" Zee inquires as he comes over and licks the pole, "Hmmm… tastes sweet!"
"Aaaaand he just contracted four unknown diseases." MK comments.
"Who put maple syrup on our pole?" Damien asks in a panic.
He turns his head to see Caleb, who is trying to hold back laughter.
"...Caleb." He growls.
The camera swaps to the Flutter Manes, still sitting down in front of "Sister Lankikus."
"What once was many is now a rarity, but long ago there wasn't a scarcity..."
"How long is this riddle?!" Ripper asks desperately.
"Pipe down, I haven't been going that long!"
"It's been like 20 minutes, will you just hurry up and finish?"
"Yeah, I've known the answer for like 19 of those." Axel teases at Ripper.
"You mean you can understand this garbage?" Julia asks, "Then why didn't you say the answer?"
She just replies with a shrug.
Axel in the confessional: "I already got all I need from this game," She explains before smirking, "So I'm just having some fun. I wanted to see if any of the others could get it… it's a little concerning they didn't, but I had a really hard time holding back my laughter. Especially at Ripper."
"The answer is the European bison." She explains.
"Correct!" He cheers, "We may now begin the ceremony!"
As he goes to fetch the water, Ezra asks: "Wow Axel, how did you know that?"
"Chris said something about them right at the start of the challenge…"
"Pfft… I could have done that." Ripper scoffs, "I was just testing you guys."
Julia responds to Axel, "Oh, makes sense. I don't listen to anything he says. I just tune out."
"I have fetched the holy water!"
"Splendid!" Ezra cheers, "Now tell us another riddle!"
"NO!" The rest of her team shout in unison.
Back with the other teams:
"Psssst-" Freckles whispers to the other team, "PSSSSST!"
"What?!" Jared finally snaps, catching the attention of the rest of his team: "I've been ignoring you for the past five minutes!"
"Caleb and Raj put tree sap on the pole! Use some of my nail polish remover to get it off." She explains to the team as she hands some bottles over.
"Ugh, it's hopeless anyway, we'll still lose." Jared groans.
"Have you met Millie before?" MK asks, "We can still win."
They begin brushing the pole.
Freckles walks back to her team proudly as Caleb asks with suspicion, "What is the other team doing over there with those tiny bottles?"
"Oh nothing, I just gave them a way to rub the tree sap off."
Raj comes over, "Huh? Are you trying to make us lose?"
"Maybe. But you did that first by sending Millie up the pole!"
The camera pans up to Millie,
"Don't worry guys, I'm almost there!"
"Yes, we got it off!" Damien cheers as all the sap falls to the ground.
Damien clings onto the pole, but begins sliding down.
"It's… a little bit wet but it's fine!"
"Wow… Freckles, you are a GENIUS!" Caleb cheers, "Great false sense of security tactic right there. Classic."
"Wha- no! I didn't-"
She gets interrupted by Millie, "Guys, I got the flag!"
"Wow… really?" Bowie questions.
"Great job bestie!" Emma congratulates, "Now slide down the pole!"
Millie looks down and begins feeling fizzy, "I have to c-c-come down now?!"
"Yes, that's how Isaac Newton said it." Bowie gripes, "Just go down it like the pole on the school playground!"
"I never played on the playground! I just snuck off to the library instead!"
"Man, she is lame…" Bowie mutters under his breath.
The camera swaps to the Flutter Manes running along the path.
"Look! The finish line!" Julia cheers.
"Congratulations!" Chris welcomes with open arms as they cross the finish line, "You're the first team here!"
The team celebrates and cheers.
"First class here I come!" Ripper shouts, "I'm gonna get one of those foot massages I've heard about!"
"Aaaaand the win has been tainted…" Axel gripes.
"Well, you would be going to first class. That is, if all of your team members were here!"
Axel goes wide-eyed, "UGH, I knew I forgot something!"
"What?... what do you mean?" Julia replies with denial, "We only have five team members."
"You seem to be forgetting a certain… Scary Girl."
Julia holds a smile, before gripping her head: "WHAT?!"
"So until you guys can get her to cross the finish line, you can't finish the challenge!"
"UUUUUURGH!" Julia growls as she tenses up, "Where IS SHE?!"
Julia in the confessional: "THIS is why nobody wanted to pick her! And now I'm stuck with her… at least not for long."
"One of our cameramen is following her around right now. Why don't you see it on one of our monitors?"
Lanky rolls in the monitor.
"Hey… he looks familiar." Ezra says quietly with a hand on her chin.
Chris smirks as the monitor turns on, showing Lauren skipping up to the other teams.
...
"Hey!" Lauren greets Caleb suddenly, causing him to jump a bit.
"AH- Oh… it's just you, Lauren. I was worried it was Emma!... Wait, where is the rest of your team?"
"They went the other way, but I thought it looked boring, so here I am!"
He laughs, "Soooo your team hasn't won yet?"
"I guess not!"
"Caleb, can we get a little support for Millie over here?" Bowie asks impatiently.
"Ugh… sorry, I gotta deal with this." He groans as he walks off.
"Hey, Scary Girl!" A cameraman's voice says from behind the camera, "Chris needs you to wear this headset, your team wants to talk to you!"
She turns her head around 180 degrees, causing the cameraman to panic and run away, dropping the headset in the process.
"Oh, fun! I wonder what they want!"
She brings the headset to her ears.
"Hellloooo?"
"WHERE ARE YOU SCARY GIRL WE NEED YOU BACK-"
"GAH!" She screams as she throws the headset off.
Lauren in the confessional: "I listen to death metal on full blast, and even that was too loud for me!"
"...Get to the finish line NOW!" Julia's voice can still be heard from the thrown headset.
"Hmph! No fun!" She says as she begins walking down the trail.
"Millie, you have to come down or we'll lose!" Caleb asserts.
"I can't come down! Not until Damien says it'll be alright!"
Millie in the confessional: "I've had a really tough time writing anything down about my teammates for my book. Everything is about Priya and Damien!" She says as she shows her notebook to the camera, "I just… don't really like my team that much. And I guess being out here in the forest without my best friend has made me kiiiinda loco."
Caleb sighs, "Huh… you've gotta be kidding me."
He cups his hands and begins speaking in a shaky tone.
"DoN't wOrRy mIlLie! I wIlL mEeT yOu aT tHe bOtToM!"
"Damien?!" She yelps as she slides down the pole, falling onto Caleb.
"Don't worry Damien, I'm fine!"
"What?!" Damien calls from the treeline.
"Alright, let's get a move on!" Bowie asserts as the whole team begins running, minus a stomped-on Caleb and a nonchalant Freckles.
"Oh no… Caleb, you'll never get up." She says in an exaggerated sarcastic tone.
Caleb gets up swiftly and carries her.
"Hey, wait! Put me down!"
Freckles in the confessional: "I can't believe I ever said I had never seen anyone as handsome as him! Yeah, my DOG is more handsome than him!" She asserts as she shows a picture of a rough collie to the screen.
The camera swaps to the Iron Jugulis reaching the finish line.
"WOOOOO!" Raj hoots as he steps over the line, "First ones here! In your face!"
"Yes, really charming." Julia says as she rolls her eyes, "Now WHERE is Scary Girl, huh? She left before you did!"
"Oh, I showed her some really nice looking skulls I found, so she's preoccupied at the moment." Caleb teases as he still has Freckles under his arm.
"UGH! Give me the headset!" Julia commands to Chris.
Caleb smirks, "No use. She ditched it back at the poles cause you were screaming bloody murder."
"If she can't take a little volume than how is she supposed to survive in this job market?" Ripper asks out of nowhere.
Everybody stares at him.
"What? I listened to a podcast about it!"
"There she is!" Axel calls out.
Axel points to Lauren as she skips along nonchalantly.
"Look guys, I've got a new friend!" She cheers as she shows them her skull, "It's almost as good as Damien's!"
A few meters behind her:
"Did she just say that skull is better than mine?!"
"Try not to sound so upset." Jared replies.
"Scary Girl! They're gaining on you!" Chase calls out.
"HURRY UP!" Julia shouts as Axel smirks in the back.
"I will-" Ezra begins yelling, "not pray for that beast! Not until I can purify her…"
Lauren stops in her tracks and let's the other team pass her.
"Haha, sucker!" Jared teases.
"See you on the other side!" Zee adds on.
Lauren narrows her eyes and begins booking it to the finish line.
"Oh no… trouble at 6 o'clock!" Wayne warns them.
Damien looks back, "RUUUUN!"
Lauren giggles and flips herself across the finish line, followed shortly by the rest of her rivals.
…
"...And with that, the Flutter Manes are safe from elimination!"
They all cheer, except for Julia:
"YOU almost cost us the challenge!"
"So what?" She asks in confusion as she ominously pets her skull.
"...Okay, whatever! It's not a big deal... just don't do it again!"
Chase smiles at her from behind after witnessing the scene.
Chase in the confessional: "Wow, did you see Julia? A few months ago, she might have tried to kill her instead of just letting it go so fast." He says before gasping, "Do you think it's her that's making me less selfish? Like her thawed heart is starting to infect me? I mean, she dooooes make significantly less money than me, so it is possible."
Chris continues, "Which means, the Scream Tails will be heading to elimination tonight!"
"Hmm... who can I blame here?" Nichelle asks to herself out loud.
MK stares at her.
"What?"
"Well personally, I blame Damien." Jared states, "He took forever trying to get up that pole!"
Jared in the confessional: "Total Drama is so easy. All you have to do it blame the person who 'lost' the challenge for you and get all the blind sheep to agree."
"How is that his fault?" Wayne asks angrily.
"Yeah, they put tree sap on my pole!"
"Well nobody else lost us the challenge like that sooooo-"
"We should vote YOU off for nagging all of us and giving us a penalty." Nichelle responds in frustration.
"Agreed!" Damien shouts.
"Aheh... heh." Jared awkwardly chuckles.
Jared in the confessional: "Okay, maaaybe I should stop nagging so much. But my master manipulation skills will still work!"
The camera swaps to MK and Zee sitting on the plane.
"Should we vote off Jared since he's such a sore loser?" Zee asks with a relaxed smile.
"Hmm... we will vote off Jared. Buuuuuut..."
MK begins whispering into Zee's ear inaudibly, to which he goes wide-eyed from the suggestion.
...
The camera swaps to Chris as he stands behind his podium at the elimination ceremony, "Look at you guys... all getting along so well!"
"I agree!" Zee cheers, "I really picked a good team."
Chef walks into the room, "Yeah, I've got some choice words to say about that!"
"Um... Chef?" Chris says in confusion, "Shouldn't you be flying the plane?"
"Don't worry, I got someone to cover it!"
The camera swaps to Ezra in the pilot's area.
"Ooooh, what does this button do?"
"Emergency surveillance room open."
"Oh, fun! Another area to bless in the morning!"
...
"Zee, you haven't done much as the team captain to help your team! It seems like you get bossed around by MK more than making any decisions yourself."
"Yeah, of course. That's cause MK is like, suuuuper smart."
"Huh... thanks Zee!"
"Damien!" Chef calls out.
"Oh, here we go..."
"You were chosen by your team to scale the flagpole, but you took way too long due to slipping from the tree sap and nail polish."
"How is that my fault? It was sabotage!"
"And finally, Jared..."
The whole team turns to look at him.
"In today's challenge you didn't help at all, and you annoyed your teammates will all your excessive whining and sarcasm."
"Well they better not vote me off! The team needs a strong sensible player."
"Well, they certainly won't get that from you." Chris mocks, "Now go get voting!"
Nichelle in the confessional: She holds up Jared's passport and stamps it aggressively.
Damien in the confessional: "You are NOT ready for this game!"
Jared in the confessional: "If the team doesn't vote with me tonight, they're fools!"
Zee in the confessional: "Did I create the. Best. Team. EVER or what?" He asks excitedly before walking out of the confessional, not having stamped a passport.
MK's arms shove him back into the confessional.
MK in the confessional: "Hmmmm..."
Nichelle pokes her head in and glares at her.
"I HAVE to vote! You KNOW that!"
"The votes have been tallied... when you receive your delicious in-line peanuts, you are safe...
Nichelle!
Wayne!
Zee!
Aaaaand, MK!"
All of the contestants catch their peanuts with a sigh of relief, before Zee starts to eat them.
"Man, you have got to try these peanuts! They are perfectly salted!"
"Yeah, I'd like to try some!" Jared gripes.
"Well, we'll see about that Junior." Chris mocks, "The last player safe iiiiis...
...
...
...
...
...
...
...
"Neither of you!"
"HUH?!" Both let out in surprise.
"You mean... we're both eliminated?" Damien panics as he grabs his head.
"Yep! You both received three votes!"
"Hey, that's not fair!" MK yelps, "I only wanna ditch one loser at a time!"
"You mean it wasn't a unanimous vote?" Jared asks in shock, "But why?"
"Are you seriously asking that?" Nichelle asks with an eyebrow raised.
"Well, good for you two I was just kidding!" Chris says before laughing, "To decide who goes home, we'll have to do a tie-breaker challenge!"
"Oh, phew..." Damien sighs, "I may not be the best at challenges, but I can certainly beat Jared!"
"We'll see about that Damien!" Chris replies, "Chef, the cue cards please?"
Chef hands them to him as he smirks,
"Damien, Jared... you two will be fighting off in a round of Total Drama: Trivia!"
"Ugh, AGAIN?!" Jared complains, "WHEN will you stop recycling challenges?"
"Only three questions will be asked, and it's first come, first serve!... Question 1: Who was 9th place in the original Total Drama: World Tour?"
Damien begins counting his fingers nervously as Jared hums to himself.
"Oh, it was Gwen!" Damien exclaims.
"Correct!"
"Hey, looks like someone's done their Total Drama research!" Wayne points out happily.
"Ugh, I almost had it! Time to turn it up a notch..."
"Question two: which Total Drama contestants have been on the same team 4 times?"
"Easy, Gwen and Heather!" Jared exclaims, "I know that one by heart!"
"Wow... haters are really as passionate as fans." MK comments.
"LAST question... whoever gets this one correct, gets to stay in the game... Question 3: what is the name of the episode from the original Total Drama: Island where Lindsay changed outfits for the episode?"
Both contestants sit in silent pondering for a monent.
"Come on, come on..." Damien groans, "Think!"
Jared follows, "Hmm... what episode was that? I need to think. How did I make fun of her outfit?... Hmm, it was a red top with blue bottoms and I have a memory of her standing on a beach of sorts with canoes..."
"Tick tock, contestants!" Chris mocks as he motions to his watch.
"Oh, I got it! It's Up The Creek!"
"That is...
...
...
"Correct, Junior! Congratulations, you are staying in the game!"
Chris hands him a bag of peanuts as Damien looks shocked.
"I- I lost? Ugh, Priya is gonna be so disappointed..." He groans as he weighs himself down.
Jared looks over with guilt.
Jared in the confessional: "Aw man, now I almost feel kinda bad..."
"Well, don't worry-" He begins consoling, "She's probably too busy with med school to notice."
"Uh... thanks." Damien replies with a slight awkward smile.
"Damien, it's time to land!" Chris exclaims as he tosses the parachute to him.
"Ah man..." He groans as he walks to the exit, "Do I really have to jump out of a moving plane?"
"Yes..."
"Well..." He begins saying goodbye, "I guess this is bye for now. Promise me you at least won't become the new Team Victory?"
"Ending with a Total Drama reference..." Jared responds, "Nice."
"No promises." MK says as she waves.
MK in the confessional: "Yeah, I'm sad to see Damien go, and Jared is quite obnoxious... but it's too risky to let him and Wayne stay on the same team while our numbers dwindle down... wait, did Nichelle actually let me make a confessional for once? WOOOHOOOO!" She shouts as she exits.
"Ah man, I missed it!" Nichelle's voice can be heard echoing from down the hall.
"I'll miss you buddy!" Wayne says as he frowns from the stands, "Land safely, okay?!
"I will!... except there's no way I'm jumping out of this plane!"
"That's what they all say..." Chris groans, "Chef?"
Chef grabs Damien, "Remember to tug the parachute cord hard before you reach full velocity!"
"Wait, wait, wait- NOOOOOO!" He screams as his voice gets smaller.
"And with that, another loser has plummeted through the sky!" Chris cheers as he turns toward the camera.
"Who will drop out next episode?"
"Lame pun." Jared says swiftly.
"Find out next time on TOTAL. DRAMA: WORLD TOOOOUUUURRRR!"
Author's Note: Here's another episode release! I've written this quite a while before I've released it in an attempt to spread out the episodes in a more timely manner once I start school on the 21st.
Just for anyone wondering, the title of this episode is a reference to one of the fake "leaked" episode titles from the TDI reboot.
I will give an internet cookie to anyone who recognizes what the team names reference!
Please read and review, hope you have a good experience with this fic. All critiques and comments welcome!
Review Responses:
dggabriele04 - You don't know how happy this comment made me! I'm not super familiar with a lot of other OC's from fanfictions, so I'm glad I was able to create unique characters!
PinkMembrane12 - It's good to see you back! I do keep my promises ;)
Frogbert the Ninth - Jared is the mod of AT LEAST 4 subreddits. Naw, although I'm not the biggest fan of Ripper in canon, I can't do him dirty like that.
