A/N: Welcome to the space episode. Some big developments here.
With respect to the reviewers:
Gucci Mane LaFlare: I thought Alejandro was good last time too.
Guest: Chef almost certainly did laugh.
Crash X Fusion : I loved planning Noah's revenge as for the alliance. Well it will fall apart at some point, but not for the reasons you think.
The recap began with the usual distance shot of the film lot. "Last time on Total Drama Action!" The roof of the tallest pagoda is shown before the focus zoomed out to show all three pagodas, the gong, and paper divider. Sammy and Topher are shown fighting, then Alejandro and Gwen are shown using their control sticks, and finally Alejandro standing on Topher doing pushups is shown. "In a world they didn't create, two honorable warriors and two irrepressible foes battled for kung fu supremacy."
The three boys are shown climbing the mountain, then Noah is shown talking to Topher, then Noah is shown stealing the bonsai and eating the reward, with Gwen and Sammy's talking as the closer. "No mountain too high, no obi sash too tight. In a come from behind victory it was Noah who won the reward. While Gwen and Sammy made a pact to have each other's back."
Chris is shown at the trailers to end the recap. "But it's gonna take more than a puny pact to Thrive this week. On Total. Drama. Action!:"
(intro)
{A standing light pops up on a set with skyscrapers in the background. A hanging light swoops in front of a set with houses in the background, then a camera pops out of a sewer with a rat on it, and another camera pops out of a hole in a tree scaring the raccoon inside. A masculine hand raises up a clapboard and sets it off.}
Dear Mom and Dad, I'm doin' fine;
{The camera's point of view shows a film lot with the two trailers, city background, water tower, and fake hill. Chris drives by in a golf cart, and the camera flies through to the warehouses as crew members push a couple backdrops through, follows by the costume rack. )
You guys are on my mind!
{The camera goes up the fake hill and down into a small pool where Jo is swimming, a shark is behind her. Jo notices it and turns around to punch it in the nose.)
Ya asked me what I wanted to be,
And now I think the answer is plain to see!
(The camera moves out of the water to show Scott on a surfboard held up by machinery. He desperately tries to dodge several seagulls being shot at him. One finally hits him and he falls over.)
I wanna be...famous!
(The camera moves left to show Duncan as the one shooting the gulls from a gull cannon with Gwen right beside, laughing along with him. Duncan turns and Gwen looks at her feet, rubbing her left arm nervously. The camera moves on to show the sastchwawanakwa in a pink dress, matching boa, and straw hat. The door slides open and the camera goes through)
I wanna live close to the sun!
(A beach set is shown with Alejandro and Amber lounging on a beach chair together, a shark sits in a beach chair to either side of them wearing sunglasses.)
Well pack your bags, 'cause I've already won!
(Topher is shown in the make-up confessional having it applied. A hand sprays something in his eye accidentally)
Everythin' to prove, nothin' in my way;
(Trent and Amy are standing on rock pillars with padded poles. Amy hits Trent several times before he hits her back sending some of her hair down.)
I'll get there one day.
(The hair lands in a pot of sludge Chef is cooking. He shrugs and turns to Sammy who looks nervous but determinedly back at him.)
'Cause I wanna be...famous!
(Harold and Ellody are shown standing in front of a set of screens in the security room. Harold presses a random button and causes an explosion. )
(Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(We focus in on one screen where a grizzly bear is growling towards Ella. The princess wannabe smiles at him sweetly, the bear smiles back and the two dance. )
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (N a-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(They dance their way past the lame-o-sine and the back window lowers to show Noah and Crimson inside. The camera continues through the window as camera flashes go off. Chris is shown standing at a podium in a powder blue tux. He opens an envelope.)
I wanna be! I wanna be! I wanna be famous! (Na-na nanananaa, nanana-nanaa, na-nananananaa)
(The scene moves out to show Chef is in a sparkly hot pink dress and matching Chef's hat, along with sliver earrings and necklace. Chris looks a little weirded out. The camera moves back through a large screen then pans down to Geoff and Kitty sitting on a couch about to make out.)
*The sound of the theme being whistled goes through the air *
(They notice the camera and decide not to kiss, the scene moves back to show a small studio with two couches to either side of the one the couple is sitting at. The rest of the cast in sitting on them as the large screen above flashes to the Total Drama action logo. )
(end of intro)
The episode proper begins with a shot of the moon high in the sky. A mouse's snout moved over it before the focus shifted to reveal the mouse was crawling atop a speaker. One that went off in the mouse's face sending it to the ground. The focus zoomed out to show the large speaker was right outside the girl's trailer, with an identical one outside the boy's trailer. The lights turned on in both trailers as several groans were heard.
Gwen and Sammy came out of their trailer, then across the way Alejandro, Topher, and Noah came out from theirs. "One of these days my beauty sleep interrupted one too many times and I'll snap." Alejandro yawned.
(confessional)
Topher: Chris this is so not cool. You of all people should know how important sleep is.
Static
Gwen sighed and licked her hand using her saliva to push down a cowlick.
"Is that sanitary?" Sammy asked nervously.
"And people claim men are the Neanderthals. " Noah muttered.
The focus moved to the top of a large gray column before moved back down to Chris and Chef at the base in loincloths Chef is beating an upturned soup pot with large bones. The five contestants stopped before them. "Good morning cast. Or should I say good middle of the night? Hope you're all rested and ready to go where few men and even fewer ladies have gone before."
"Didn't we already do caveman movies?" Gwen yawned.
"We did Gwen, but we had to reuse the costumes since my astronomical salary accounts for oh roughly ninety-seven percent of the show's budget." Chris smirked.
"Chris it's the middle of the night." Alejandro said with false calm.
"Do you honestly think he cares?" Noah yawned.
"Sorry Alejandro, but Noah's right I don't care." Chris said. "While today's movie genre may start at the dawn of time, it quickly moves up," The moon is shown as something flies past it. "Up and away!"
"So, we're doing space movies?" Topher said.
"That's what it sounds like." Sammy agreed.
(confessional)
Noah: A genre I might actually enjoy, if I was capable of feeling anything but spite and exhaustion at the moment.
Static
"I do enjoy the odd space documentary." Alejandro noted.
"Well I doubt it'll be that interesting. We already did the fun kind of space movie." Gwen sighed.
"Speak for yourself." Noah deadpanned.
"Listen up space cases, you'll soon be facing some out of this world challenges, but first," Chris pushed the large sliver column out of the way revealing six small boxes. "I have a very special surprise for you. Each of you has received one special item sent to you from the outside world." The host took a box into his hand. "Which by now must feel like a distant planet." He tossed the box, Topher caught it, then Noah caught his, and so on until everyone had caught their box.
Sammy opened her box, and sighed as she pulled out a placard with a second-place ribbon pinned to it. "Oh."
"Wow Sammy. You won second place?" Gwen smiled.
"Yeah, second place. I'm always second place." Sammy muttered.
(confessional)
Sammy: I thought maybe my mother would send me something actually encouraging, but instead she sent me a reminder that I always fall just short. She calls it tough love, I call it mean.
Static
Topher opened his next. "Nice my favorite skin care cream, and a note from one of my friends wanting me to get Chris' autograph. I guess I can ask."
"I wonder what they sent me?" Alejandro said, not seeming too excited. He opened the box, inside was a mirror, and around the mirror's handle was a note. Alejandro sighed and took the note off. He looked over it and his hands balled into fists. "I need a moment." He stormed off, not noticing the note land at Sammy's feet.
The cheerleader picked it up and began to read it in a whisper, "Dear Al, I hope this letter finds you well. Father was kind enough to send you a reminder of who you are. Perhaps this time you won't be an utter failure to the family, though I expect that's too much to hope for. Sincerely, Jose."
(confessional)
Alejandro: I get the message. My father sent me a mirror to remind me I'm a Burromuerto with all the expectations and pressure that comes with, and of course Jose had to get the last word in. He always does.
Static
Gwen opened hers next. She pulled out a black spiral book. "Oh cool, my spare sketchbook."
"You draw?" Noah asked.
"Yeah all the time. Mostly in the trailers where no one can see what she's drawing." Sammy said.
"I'm just not comfortable sharing my work that's all." Gwen said.
"How many are of Duncan?" The cynic teased.
"None of your business!" Gwen snapped.
"So it's a lot." Noah noted, taking out a framed picture, he quickly held it to his chest, clearly a bit emotional.
"What's that?" The goth asked.
"I don't have to show you." Noah huffed.
"I got it!" Topher smirked, having taken it while Noah was arguing with Gwen. "Let's see," Everyone surrounded Topher. Reaction varied. With Topher seeming surprised, while Gwen had a teasing smirk, and Sammy smiled.
"It's a golden lab?" Topher said.
"Awe, he's so cute!" Sammy complimented.
"Who knew you were a dog person?" Gwen teased.
"What are you all looking at?" Alejandro asked as he rejoined the group.
"Noah got a picture of his dog." Topher smirked.
"Are you done with that?" Noah said, snatching the picture back.
(confessional)
Noah:(Holding the picture) I've mentioned my golden lab before. I'm not sure I love anyone else in the world more. It's nice to see her again even in picture form.
Static
"Alright Gang." Chris began. "Time to blast off into the great unknown. Everyone knows a good outer space movie has three things in common. One, zero gravity is always a trip. Two the G-forces are killer, and three everything is recycled in space, including number one and number two." All of the contestants gagged.
"Which brings us to our first challenge." Chris continued. "I'll meet you at the thrill ride set in ten minutes."
The contestants looked confused. "There's a thrill ride set?" Noah questioned.
/
The tip of the water tower is shown then a flash transition takes us to Chris in his normal attire standing and facing the contests, also now in their normal attire, with a dark purple and purple striped wall behind them. "The way to achieve zero gravity is to fly a jet on a parabolic course. With large vertical climbs and even higher vertical drops." The cast is shown as Chris explains this, with Sammy and Topher looking terrified, Alejandro and Noah nodding calmly, and Gwen seeming somewhere in between. "But with the price of jet fuel today," A spaceship shaped rollercoaster cart is shown at a boarding platform. "We're gonna simulate the effect on this makeshift space shuttle!"
The focus moved out to show a roller coaster with a single loop, a rocket taking off decorated its side, it was surround by various other rides. "Which will hit the optimum speed need to keep you all in a perpetual state of zero gravity." The host concluded as the focus shifted back to him and the contestants.
"My fear of heights isn't gonna make this easy." Sammy whispered.
"I hope this goes well, my face is barely healed from the last challenge." Topher noted.
"I assume this is up to code?" Alejandro questioned.
"Can't be more dangerous than the submarine tanks." Noah shrugged.
"Let's get this over with." Gwen sighed.
"Your first challenge will be to spend the rest of the night on the shuttle sleeping in zero gravity conditions." Chris explained.
"That seems easy enough." Alejandro smiled.
/
"You all might want to hold on to something bolted down." Chris' voice said through a speaker. The focus shifted out to show the five remaining contestants are in a small room. The walls a light gray with a large red siren on either side. The only other thing in the room is a control panel behind everyone. "Cause we're almost ready to launch!"
"Chris, the room is pretty much empty!" Topher pointed out.
"You don't say." Noah deadpanned.
The focus moved back to the intercom as the sound of the engines started up. "In five, four, three, two, one!" The focus shifted outside to show the shuttle on the track. "Blast off!" The shuttle began to fly around the track the sudden force causing everyone to scream.
Back inside Sammy has her eyes shut. "Oh, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna die, I'm gonna-" Her eyes opened and the focus moved out to show all five contestants were now floating. "Oh, I'm okay."
"Alright astronauts," Chris said from the security room, each of the contestants is shown on a monitor in front of him. "It's gonna be a long night, better get some sleep. If you can." Chris laughed as Chef handed him a thermos of coffee.
/
Sammy floated over to Alejandro nervously. "Um Alejandro? Can I ask you question?"
"Of course." Alejandro replied.
"Who's Jose?" The cheerleader whispered.
"What did you say?!" the Spaniard gasped.
"Who's Jo-" Sammy began to ask again.
"How do you know that name?!" Alejandro snapped.
"W-when you walked away this fell at my feet." Sammy handed him the note.
"You read it?!"
"I wanted to know what upset you so much! I'm sorry." Sammy said. Alejandro remained silent. "Alejandro?
"Please leave me alone." The Spaniard said. Sammy nodded.
(Confessional)
Alejandro: (Says nothing but punches the counter in anger.)
Static
"Fair warning Gwen, Noah tends to sleep cuddle the nearest thing. Usually it's his pillow, but tonight we're in an open space." Topher said.
"First you're a dog person, and then I find out you sleep cuddle?" Gwen chuckled. "What other sentimental things are you hiding about yourself?"
"I don't have to take this from you Lady I-Sketch-my-boyfriend-a-lot." Noah smirked.
Gwen blushed. "Touche."
(confessional)
Gwen: Honestly it's kind of cool to see this side of Noah.
Static
Everyone is sleeping in the air, most with their head's on their pillows. The exception being Noah, who has his arms around his pillow as usual. The sirens on the wall began to flash and sound waking all five of them. "This is Houston." Chris said over the intercom. "And you have a problem. You've been hit by an asteroid and your guidance system is toast."
"Oh my gosh! How do we fix it?!" Sammy asked in her panic she moved her arms and legs, one of her boots slipped off.
"We have to manually override the navigation system. In other words," Noah pushed off the wall and flew to the joystick. "Pull this conspicuous joystick." It took Noah a moment to fix it.
"Nice one Noah!" Gwen complimented. Then her eyes widened. "Sammy your boot!" The focus shifted to show Sammy's boot was about to hit the window. With a gasp the cheerleader pushed off the wall and 'swam' over to the window catching her boot just as the tip of it lightly hit the window.
"Whew." Sammy heaved a sigh of relief. A small crack formed where her boot had hit and began to spiderweb out. "Oh no." The window broke and Sammy had all she could do to not get sucked out.
"Uh oh!" Chris announced happily. "looks like you've got a hole in her fuselage!" The host laughed as each other remaining contestants faces were shown in turn. "You have exactly T-Minus ten minutes to plug the hole or you'll run out of precious oxygen!"
Air continued to rush out the window. "We need to plug the hole!" Sammy gasped.
"We know that! What do we plug it with?!" Gwen asked.
"We can use the pillows!" Alejandro decided. "Everyone give me yours!" Everyone handed their pillows to Alejandro except Noah. "Noah!"
"But what if I-" Noah began.
We don't have time to think about that!" The Spaniard snapped.
"Fine." Noah sighed as he handed his pillow over.
/
Back outside the sun is now in the sky as we watch the shuttle go around the coaster a few more times before it stopped at the platform. The door popped off and Topher, Sammy, and Gwen all fell out. Alejandro reached the door with a sigh and jumped down. It is revealed Noah is on his back, asleep and clinging to him. Alejandro took struggled to remove him for a bit but eventually he managed.
"I don't want to talk about it." Alejandro said.
"Hey you're the one who insisted he give up his pillow." Gwen smirked.
"If I hadn't we wouldn't have had enough to plug up the window." The Spaniard replied.
"That was smart filling the breach with pillows." Chef said.
Noah yawned and stretched. "Morning, looks like I didn't need my pillow after all." Topher gave him a huffy look "How'd we get out here anyway?"
(confessional)
Topher: No, I am not jealous Noah got to cuddle Alejandro! (He pauses a moment.) Okay maybe a little.
Static
"Nice going Alejandro, it was your quick thinking that saved the group." Chris said. "As a reward you'll get to decide the order of who goes first to last at the next challenge."
"Hmm, I think Noah, Topher, Myself, Sammy, and then Gwen." Alejandro nodded.
(Confessional)
Alejandro: Since I don't know what the next challenge is, the best course of action is to place myself in the center. That way whether I benefit from going earlier or later I'll have the same chance of winning. Placing Noah and Gwen at either end insures that at least one of them will be disadvantaged.
Static
An overall shot of several building cut outs is shown, then paper is shown flying in the breeze, followed by a distance shot of all the warehouses, the fake hill standing tall in the background. One particular warehouse is shown, followed by a close up of the door as it slides up revealing the remaining five contestants as they begin to exit the warehouse with Alejandro closet on the far left, then Sammy, Topher, Noah, and Gwen.
The entire sequence skids to a halt as Chris ran past them, "Enough messing around!" The view became the usual side shot of the contestants facing Chris as he explained the challenge. "Alright gang, if you thought spending the in zero gs was a stomach churning experience, then you're gonna love this next challenge. Who can last the longest on the G-force trainer or as I like to call it the vomit comet." An overlarge space suit on the end of an arm that led to a wheeled cart was shown.
"If you thought you were under pressure before," Chris continued as the overlarge spacesuit was shown in close up. "Wait till you feel the effects of four times earth's gravitational force."
"I guess it's a good thing none of us had more than one bowl of chili." Gwen smirked.
"If you can call it that." Alejandro said.
"Plenty more where that came from!" Chef said as he tapped the soup pan with a ladle. Closer inspection reveals a gray brown sludge with flies about it as well as fish bones, tentacles, and a lone sock.
Alejandro ran off, presumably to vomit, as Gwen shook her head. "I think I'm good."
"Remember crew, Alejandro already picked the order, Noah, you're up first." Chris said.
"Thanks for giving me the advantage Alejandro." Noah smirked.
"It was still the best decision with the information I had." Alejandro defended.
(confessional)
"Okay, so Noah and Topher are ahead of me. Noah will likely be fine, he didn't eat much of the chili. Topher may be a problem, but if I remind him I'm going next, perhaps he could gain the willpower to keep it in.
Static
Noah entered the vomit comet, his face visible in the helmet of the overlarge space suit. "Have a nice spin Noah!"
The vomit comet began to move. Noah went around for several rotations. He started out fine, then eventually his eyes glazed over. He shook his head. "I'd like to leave now!" The vomit comet stopped.
"Nineteen point two seconds. Not bad for a first run, but hopefully someone can beat it." Chris said.
Noah stepped out of the machine and fell over.
(confessional)
Noah: It wasn't the nausea that got to me, but the loss of my equilibrium. Suddenly I had no idea which way up or down. Once I started feeling dizzy I decided it was enough. Hopefully I managed to stay in it long enough to stand a chance at winning.
Static
Alejandro placed a hand on Topher's shoulder. "Amigo, I know you have a delicate stomach."
"That might be an understatement." Topher replied.
"But I need you to refrain from vomiting. I will struggle with this challenge enough without being stuck in vomit. Do everything you can to stop yourself." Alejandro said.
"I'll do my best," Topher said.
(confessional)
Topher: I don't want Alejandro to end up in my vomit anymore than he does. Just imagining his perfect hair covered in vomit is enough to make me cringe.
Static
Alejandro: I suppose I'm lucky Topher is easily influenced by me.
Static
Sammy is right next to Alejandro. "Um, can we talk?"
"I am not in the mood right now." Alejandro replied.
"I understand, I probably shouldn't have read that note. I was just concerned about you. You try to hide it, and you do pretty well but I can tell you're going through something. Something I think I might understand. So if you ever are in the mood to, you know, talk about it, I'm here." Sammy told him. She turned to walk away.
"Sammy, perhaps we can talk about it later. Somewhere private?" Alejandro suggested.
"Of course." Sammy smiled.
(confessional)
Sammy: I'm so relieved Alejandro is open to talking. I understand his hesitation. It's something very personal to him. Alejandro's a pretty reserved person.
Static
"Alright Topher, You're next. Noan managed to keep his lunch down, so at least you'll have a dry run." Chris told the blonde.
Topher is placed in the vomit comet and the machine starts up. The machine is shown going round and round, then Topher's face is shown in the helmet. His cheeks bulged and stayed like that a moment before the blonde managed to swallow it down. "Chris! Let me out!"
Chris stopped his stopwatch. "Wow. 11.5 seconds. You stink at this. I had hoped my fan would do better."
Topher ran off to puke. "Alejandro, you're lucky enough to have a clean ride." Chris said. Alejandro got into the machine.
(confessional)
Alejandro: This is going to take all of my willpower to get through.
Static
The vomit comet began to spin and Alejandro was shown looking queasy very quickly. His cheeks bulged but he managed to swallow down his vomit. He kept going, his cheeks bulging several more times but never vomiting. Eventually he opened his mouth. "Chris stop the-" And that was when he spit up a little vomit. .
"Ew!" Sammy gasped, looking disgusted.
Chris stopped his watch. "Twenty nine point one seconds. Impressive, but you puked so I'm deducting ten points. Which means your new total is nineteen point one seconds. So close, but Noah has you beat by point one second. If only you hadn't puked."
"I didn't vomit! It's barely dirty!" Alejandro protested, gesturing to the vomit comet which is clean aside from a very small patch of vomit in the window.
"Sorry, but spitting up counts as puking here." Chris smirked. Alejandro bristled.
"Sammy, you're next , luckily it's still pretty dry but it smells bad." The host chuckled.
Reluctantly Sammy got on the vomit comet. She instantly gagged at the scent of vomit in the machine. The machine spun around several times Sammy's face getting greener and greener until eventually she puked. The machine stopped.
Chris checked his watch. "Twenty-five point seven seconds. With the vomit deduction fifteen point seven. Noah's still in the lead. Gwen, your slightly soiled chariot awaits."
(confessional)
Gwen: It was so disgusting, but immunity is crucial right now. Alejandro's got Topher and Sammy voting with him. Sorry Noah, but I have to beat you.
Static
The goth looked disgusted but determined. "Let's do this." She got in the machine and it began to spin. It spun and spun, with all of the contestants watching in anticipation. When Gwen finally called for Chris to stop Noah frowned.
"Twenty seven seconds! A new vomit comet record!" Chris cheered. Gwen stepped out of the machine covered in vomit.
"That was awful, but I've been through worse. After you've cleaned animal poop, you're scale for what's disgusting really shifts." Gwen smirked.
"That was amazing Gwen! I'm so sorry I made you have to go through that!" Sammy said.
"That was repulsive." Alejandro gagged, covering his nose. "I can't handle this." With that Alejandro ran off screen, the sounds of retching can be heard.
"You are going to shower right?" Topher asked, covering his own nose.
Gwen rolled her eyes.
(confessional)
Gwen: Look it was gross, really gross, but I'm glad I did it. With immunity I've made it to the final four.
Static
"In light of Gwen's willingness to get her feet wet, so to speak, I declare her the winner of today's challenge!" Chris said.
The sound of whistling can be heard as the camera shirted to Chef cutting carrots into the vomit filled space suit. "Hope you like gumbo."
Everyone looked sick, including Chris.
/
Sammy and Alejandro are now in the completely deserted mess hall. "So…tell me about Jose." Sammy said.
Alejandro sighed. "Jose is my older brother. He has tormented me since childhood. Mocking me, pulling pranks on me reminding me at every turn that he is superior. My father favors him, and whenever I try to speak out against Jose, my father just tells me to try harder. He calls me Al." Alejandro shuddered. "I hate that nickname, it makes me feel inferior, weak."
Sammy wrapped her arms around him. "And that's why you've been so supportive of me, because you understand. You know, if you want to vent I won't judge you."
Alejandro hugged Sammy tight, a few tears trailing down his face. "Gracias."
(confessional)
Alejandro: Sharing my family problems with Sammy is so freeing. Although my father will not be happy with me.
Static
Sammy: I knew we had a connection, and now that I knew what it is, I'm more determined than ever to keep my promise to Amber.
Static
In the area between trailers Noah is talking to Gwen. "How am I going to avoid being voted out?"
"I don't know. I'd be willing to vote for Alejandro, or Topher." Gwen offered.
"Well Alejandro won't vote for Sammy, and I doubt he'll vote for Topher until he's gotten all the use he can out of him. Topher won't vote for Alejandro, and I assume you won't vote out Sammy?" Noah reasoned.
"You'd be right." Gwen nodded.
"Then there's only one way for me to survive this." Noah determined.
That was when Sammy arrived. "Hey guys, what's up?" She asked.
"Gwen and I are voting for Topher tonight, you in?" Noah asked.
"Um, I wouldn't mind except I'm in an alliance with him." The cheerleader said.
"Yeah but he's a bad influence on Alejandro." Gwen pointed out. Sammy bit her lip.
"Just think about it." Noah told her.
(confessional)
Sammy: Okay, Noah has a point, but voting against an alliance seems bad.
Static
The stage with the two giant Chris statues is shown as spotlights wave in front of it. A series of clips featuring Chris from last season ,several of them just him talking, roll over the screen in two parallel lines, a vertical line of clips include one where Chris is dress as a pirate rolls down between them, as two more clips, one of Chris in a helicopter and one of him with a clapboard, move out to either side, the focus zooms out to show a giant gilded Chris as fireworks go for in the screen flashes to the actual amphitheater where Chris stands at his podium in his powder blue tux. "And five will soon become four as we bid farewell to another cast member. Everyone cast your votes."
Each contestant is shown in turn as they voted.
"No hard feelings, just strategy." Alejandro smirked.
"And another one's gone." Gwen said.
"Bye bye nerdy." Topher chuckled.
"I hope I'm making the right decision." Sammy sighed.
Noah raised an eyebrow at the camera. "I don't do quips on command."
Chef stands next to Chris in his hot pink dress, holding a tray of gilded Chris' and itching his back. Chris opened the envelope in his hand. "And the gilded Chris goes to, Gwen" The goth caught hers. "Alejandro, and Sammy." The two caught their awards and smiled at each other.
Topher and Noah are both shown, both confident, neither showing any concern. "And…
…
…
…
…Topher!" The blonde caught his award happily.
(confessional)
Sammy: After Alejandro finally opened up to me I just couldn't break his trust.
Static
"Sorry Noah, the lame-o-sine awaits." Chris said.
"Fine, I'm going. I hate this stupid show anyway." Noah rolled his eyes.
"Hey," Gwen stopped him. "I'm gonna miss you. Say hello to Crimson and Duncan for me."
"I will." Noah walked down the walk of shame. "Hey Al?" Alejandro glared at him. "Might want to break up the get along gang soon." He stepped into the Lame-o-sine. "At least I don't have to suffer through this show anymore."
"We'll see about that." Chris cut in. The lame-o-sine took off leaving two parallel lines of fire and a single license plate. "And you'll see how our remaining contestants suffer, next time on Total Drama Action!"
Bonus clip:
Noah is reading a book. "What? Am I supposed to say something profound or whatever? To be honest it's a relief to be off that trainwreck. Besides, I still made the final five, so what do I care if I win a million dollars? I'm just gonna hang with Crimson and read." Noah's eyes widened. "An aftermath? Of course this show has an aftermath. Why am I even surprised."
A/N: I love Noah, but it only makes sense for him to leave here. Topher's been a pretty big villain, Sammy and Alejandro are both nearing the end of their joint arc, and I could have gotten rid of Gwen, but let's face it, she's new. People would probably rather she make the final four.
Sammy and Alejandro finally got to have the understanding I've been building up this whole time. I hope you enjoyed how I wrote it. The gifts from home provided a great opportunity for Sammy to finally find out about Jose.
As for why I chose a second place ribbon, if you look in the background of her audition tape she has several of them in her room. It also shows just how Sammy's mother treats her, and Amy as well. Why her mom? Because in canon confessionals Amy talks about how her mother is always complaining about Sammy. Granted she could be lying through her teeth, but it still provides a good jumping off point for the way she's portrayed here.
